16
Then
spake
they
that
feared
the
Lord
,
euery
one
to
his
Neighbour
,
and
the
Lord
hearkned
and
heard
it
,
and
a
booke
of
Remembrance
was
written
before
him
,
for
them
that
feared
the
Lord
,
and
thought
vpon
his
name
.
17
And
they
shall
be
to
me
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
in
that
day
that
I
shal
do
this
,
for
a
flock
,
and
I
will
spare
them
,
as
a
man
spareth
his
owne
sonne
that
serueth
him
.
THis
Scripture
was
denounced
by
that
Prophet
whome
the
Lord
sent
to
giue
a
farewell
to
his
people
,
for
Malachi
was
the
last
Prophet
in
Israell
,
and
after
him
there
was
noe
moe
,
vntill
Iohn
Baptiste
came
.
It
is
thought
of
some
,
that
the
Lord
in
his
wrath
,
and
in
a
iuste
Judgement
against
Israell
,
would
not
vouchsafe
them
any
moe
Prophetes
after
Malachi
,
either
to
〈…〉
forte
them
in
their
distresses
,
or
to
call
vppon
them
for
the
amendment
of
their
liues
.
But
of
other
some
,
it
is
supposed
,
that
there
was
not
so
great
a
misery
ment
against
them
,
as
a
misterye
for
their
good
,
which
was
this
,
that
they
should
the
more
instantly
and
feruentlye
looke
for
&
longe
after
the
King
of
Prophetes
,
Jesus
Christ
him self
.
But
howsoeuer
it
was
,
of
this
I
am
well
assured
,
Malachi
performed
his
function
,
so
fully
and
so
faithfully
,
that
he
was
reputed
generallye
to
haue
béene
an
Angell
sent
downe
from
Heauen
,
rather
then
a
man
borne
and
bred
vpon
the
earth
.
Not
so
muche
because
Malachi
doth
signifie
an
Angel
,
as
that
his
doctrine
did
showe
an
Angellike
spirite
,
and
did
woork
an
Angellike
effect
.
Gregorye
1.
being
Bishop
of
Rome
,
when
he
sawe
certaine
English
children
brought
thether
to
be
solde
,
asked
of
what
countrey
they
were
,
it
was
answered
Angli
.
Englishe
children
,
where
vpon
the
alluded
thus
,
Immo
Angeli
qui
vultu
nitent
vt
Angeli
,
Nay
rather
they
are
Angelles
,
for
that
in
countenaunee
they
shine
,
and
shew
them selues
to
be
Angels
.
So
we
may
say
of
Malachi
he
was
no
question
a
man
,
and
his
name
being
Malachi
,
&
not
Malach
doth
importe
no
lesse
by
the
termination
therof
.
And
Epiphanius
by
good
proofe
,
●●es
warrantise
thereof
:
yet
looke
we
vpon
the
perfourmance
of
his
office
&
function
,
and
then
we
shall
finde
that
non
solum
vultu
▪
sedctiam
spiritu
nitet
vt
Angelus
,
not
onely
in
countenaunce
,
but
also
in
spirite
,
he
doth
shine
lyke
an
Angell
.
For
therein
he
bewrayed
an
Angellike
parte
,
farre
passing
humane
operation
.
otherwise
he
would
neuer
haue
wrought
such
a
sudden
and
straunge
conuersion
in
suche
a
senseles
and
generall
corruption
,
wherin
both
Priest
and
Prophet
were
far
from
all
signes
of
grace
,
and
not
neare
any
hope
of
remorse
.
But
sicut
populus
sic
Sacerdos
,
Imo
sicut
populus
,
sic
Sacerdos
,
as
the
people
were
,
so
were
the
priests
.
For
the
priest
,
they
dispised
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
and
yet
they
said
wherein
haue
we
despised
thy
name
.

They
offered
vncleane
bread
vpon
the
Alter

and

they
said
,

haue
we
polluted
it
?

In
which
ripenes
and
outragiousnes
of
their
sins
,
Malachi
was
presentlye
sent
to
denounce
Gods
heauy
Judgements
,
and
Indignation
against
them
,
which
hee
so
throughlye
executed
,
that
thereby
he
not
only
ripped
vp
&
ransackt
their
consciences
,
but
also
persed
their
soules
,
and
deuided
their
spirites
,
with
the
two
edged
sworde
,
which
came
out
of
his
mouth
,
in
somuch
that
they
spake
&c.
Now
in
this
scripture
we
haue
chéefelye
to
note
two
points
.
1
A
blessed
conference
,
and
mutual
prouocation
of
the
people
,
for
the
amendement
of
their
lyues
.
Then
spake
they
.
&c.
Secondly
,
a
thréefolde
comforte
and
encouragement
which
the
Lorde
gaue
them
,
to
procede
in
their
Repentance
.
1.
Because
he
hearkened
and
heard
them
.
2.
For
that
he
caused
a
booke
of
Remebrance
to
be
writen
&c.
3.
Because
hee
gaue
them
the
promise
of
his
mercisull
protection
,
And
they
shall
be
to
me
in
the
day
&c.
1.
Pars.
THen
spake
they
which
feared
the
Lorde
,
&c.
So
mightie
and
effectuall
were
the
Prophets
woords
,
in
the
heartes
of
as
manye
as
feared
the
Lord
,
that
by
and
by
thereupon
,
they
conferred
about
the
reformation
of
their
lyues
,
and
spoke
euery
one
to
his
Neighbour
,
(
as
by
the
circumstance
we
gather
)
to
this
effect
.
Deare
Neighbours
we
haue
often
and
desperatly
prouoked
the
Lords
wrath
against
vs
,
and
needes
must
wée
grant
our selues
guilty
of
all
the
crimes
whereof
Malachi
doth
accuse
vs
.
What
shall
we
doo
then
?
We
are
now
called
to
repentance
.
both
by
the
voice
of
Gods
vengeance
,
saying
,
I
will
come
now
to
you
in
Iudgement
,
and
I
wil
be
a
iust
witnes
against
you
.
ver.
5.
chap.
3.
and
also
by
the
voice
of
his
mercy
:
saying
,
Returne
to
me
,
and
I
will
returne
to
you
.
ver.
7.
chap.
3.
All
this
notwithstanding
shall
wee
still
runne
on
with
remorse
?
Why
then
the
wrathe
of
God
,
must
néedes
come
vpon
the
children
of
disobedience
.
Therefore
let
vs
humble
our selues
vpon
the
lowest
pauement
of
vnfained
repentaunce
,
that
it
may
repent
him
of
his
purposed
vengeaunce
.
To
this
end
and
in
this
sense
,
they
spake
euerye
one
to
another
.
Whereby
(
right
Honorable
,
and
dearelye
beloued
)
wee
may
s●e
and
obserue
,
not
onelye
that
the
feare
of
the
Lord
is
a
wel-spring
of
life
,
to
auoid
the
snares
of
death
,
for
so
saith
the
wise
man
,
Pro.
14.
But
also
that
the
word
of
God
is
sharper
then
any
two
edged
swoorde
,
and
pearceth
,
&
cutteth
,
wheresoeuer
it
commeth
,
euen
to
the
hard
bones
and
marrow
,
for
so
saith
the
Apostle
Hebrewes
.
4.
And
therfore
so
it
preuailed
with
this
people
,
that
it
wrought
in
them
a
resolute
conference
for
their
conuersion
,
and
bettering
of
their
conuersations
.
And
so
it
preuailed
with
Iosias
and
his
people
:
for
at
the
reading
of
the
booke
of
the
law
by
Shaphan
,
there
was
renting
of
cloathes
,
and
melting
of
harts
,
and
shedding
of
teares
,
in
all
humility
,
2.
King
.
22.
And
so
it
preuailed
with
the
King
of
Niniuie
,
and
his
People
,
for
at
the
preaching
of
Ionas
,
there
was
proclaming
of
fastes
,
and
putting
on
of
sackcloath
,
and
sitting
downe
in
ashes
,
and
crying
mightilye
vnto
God
,
from
the
greatest
to
the
least
:
Iohn
.
3.
And
so
it
preuailed
with
the
Israelites
,
at
the
preaching
of
Esay
,
for
they
letted
not
to
inuite
one
another
saying
:
Come
ye
house
of
Iacob
,
let
vs
walk
in
the
light
of
the
Lord
,
Esay
.
2.
And
so
it
preuailed
with
the
people
which
heard
Peters
heauenly
sermon
:
for
they
were
thereby
euen
pricked
in
their
hartes
▪
and
said
,
men
and
brethren
what
shall
we
do
?
Act.
2.
But
I
do
not
sée
beloued
in
the
Lorde
,
that
it
hath
so
preuailed
with
vs
,
and
yet
how
mightilythe
Lord
hath
called
vpon
vs
,
both
Judgelike
,
&
Fatherlike
in
punishing
,
and
in
fauours
,
I
knowe
&
you
can
not
be
ignorant
.
Haue
not
the
mountaines
trembled
,
&
the
foundations
of
the
earth
béen
shaken
in
your
daies
Haue
not
bloodthirstye
conspirators
swarmed
like
grashoppers
,
here
at
home
in
our
own
bosomes
?
Haue
not
the
furious
executioners
of
Gods
vengeance
couered
our
seas
,
with
their
ships
,
and
attempted
to
inuade
vs
?
Haue
not
the
messengers
of
the
Lord
:
lyke
so
many
trumpets
sounded
daily
in
your
eares
,
that
tribulation
&
anguish
,
wéeping
&
gnashing
of
téeth
,
vnquenchable
fire
,
vtter
darknes
,
the
worme
that
neuer
dieth
,
euen
the
portion
of
hypocrites
,
is
prepared
for
all
hard
harted
&
stifnecked
sinners
:
surely
euen
these
wer
the
voices
of
Gods
vengeance
,
and
in
euerye
one
of
them
hee
hath
said
,
I
will
come
nere
to
England
in
Judgement
,
and
will
be
a
swift
witnes
against
you
.
And
on
the
otherside
,
wherhence
is
it
,
that
we
haue
receiued
such
gratious
gouernment
,
for
such
bloudy
tyrannies
:
such
sunshine
of
the
Gospell
,
for
such
darkenes
of
Idolatrie
:
such
dayly
preaching
for
suche
damnable
Massing
:
such
plenty
for
such
scarsety
,
such
peace
for
such
warre
:
such
health
for
such
sicknes
,
such
fatherly
blessings
,
for
such
Pharaolik
persecutions
,
as
is
meruellous
in
our
eyes
,
&
manifest
to
al
the
worlde
:
As
this
is
the
Lords
doings
,
and
in
euery
one
of
these
,
his
good
graces
he
hath
engrauen
the
voice
of
his
mercy
:
saying
Returne
to
me
,
and
I
will
returne
to
you
?
But
I
knowe
not
how
,
we
make
no
more
account
thereof
,
then
of
a
blast
of
winde
,
naye
as
there
was
neuer
that
good
or
grace
wroght
to
reclame
these
Israelites
,
but
the
Lord
hath
vouchsafed
the
like
or
greater
to
vs
.
So
what
euill
was
there
committed
by
them
in
Malachies
time
,
but
it
is
doubled
and
tripled
by
vs
in
these
daies
?
and
that
in
such
measure
,
both
in
Priest
and
People
,
beginne
where
you
will
,
that
it
can
not
but
irk
our
harts
to
think
of
it
,
alas
then
why
should
it
not
vrdge
our
tongues
to
speake
against
it
,
as
the
Israelites
did
,
euery
man
to
his
Neighbour
?
For
first
,
as
their
Priestes
polluted
the
Altar
of
the
Lord
in
manye
a
foule
abuse
,
so
doo
we
,
I
may
not
conceale
it
,
cure
it
as
I
maye
.
For
some
of
vs
are
idle
bellies
,
&
do
the
worke
of
the
Lord
negligentlye
,
for
wee
labour
not
,
but
loyter
in
the
Lordes
Vineyard
:
&
what
is
this
,
but
with
the
Priestes
of
Israell
to
offer
vncleane
bread
,
and
to
present
our
worst
gifts
and
to
sacrifice
the
halt
and
maimed
vnto
him
who
is
a
great
King
.
Some
of
vs
are
men
pleasers
,
and
such
placebos
,
that
we
laye
pillowes
vnder
the
eares
,
and
cushins
vnder
the
elbowes
of
sinners
,
and
what
is
this
,
but
to
say
with
the
Priestes
of
●uda
,
that
euery
one
that
doth
euill
,
is
good
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
?
Some
of
vs
are
brainsicke
and
fantasticall
,
and
euen
like
Narcissus
,
are
not
only
in
loue
with
our
owne
shadows
,
but
wedded
to
our
owne
pestilent
conceits
?
so
that
no
reason
can
perswade
vs
,
or
aswage
them
:
and
what
is
this
but
with
the
tribe
of
Leui
,
to
marry
with
the
daughters
of
a
strange
God
.
Some
of
vs
are
bitter
&
contentious
,
making
ruptures
in
the
Church
,
our
tender
mother
,
like
so
many
vipers
,
deuouring
one
another
,
more
like
wolues
then
shéepherdes
:
and
deuiding
the
vnsemed
coate
of
Christian
vnity
,
not
vnlyke
arrant
théeues
,
&
what
is
this
,
but
the
miserye
whereof
Basile
complaineth
,
Hoc
omnium
miseratione
,
vel
maxime
dignum
est
,
cum
ea
pars
quae
sana
visa
est
,
in
se
deuisa
est
:
This
is
a
most
lamentable
thing
,
when
that
parte
which
séemeth
to
be
sound
,
is
deuided
in
it selfe
.
And
the
misery
whereof
Lactantius
complaineth
,
Gladium
quisque
habet
,
quo
hostem
feriat
,
sed
nemo
clypeum
,
quo
sedefendat
,
euery
one
hath
a
swoorde
whereby
he
may
strike
his
enemie
,
but
no
man
hath
a
shéelde
whereby
he
may
defend
him selfe
.
And
the
misery
whereof
Barnard
complaineth
,
Omnes
amici
,
&
omnes
inimici
:
omnes
necessarij
,
&
omnes
aduersarii
:
omnes
domestici
,
&
nulli
pacifici
:
All
are
friendes
▪
and
all
are
enemyes
:
all
are
neighbours
,
and
all
are
aduersaries
:
all
are
home-dwellers
,
and
none
are
peace-makers
.
Now
then
(
beloued
in
the
Lord
)
is
it
possible
for
vs
of
the
ministerie
to
finde
and
know
these
euils
in
our selues
,
and
yet
to
bée
mute
and
silent
?
surely
these
outrages
are
able
to
make
him
speake
that
is
not
wilfully
tonguefyed
.
Atys
,
Craesus
sonne
was
dumbe
,
&
neuer
spake
in
al
his
life
(
as
Herodotus
reports
)
&
yet
when
he
saw
Cyrus
about
to
cutte
his
fathers
throat
,
he
burst
out
into
these
spéeches
,
&
saide
,
O

O

not

Wee
see
what
wée
sée
,
and
I
do
not
see
,
how
wee
can
say
lesse
to
them
which
intreate
our
spirituall
and
Ghostly
Fathers
as
they
doe
,
that
is
,
euen
cut
the
throate
of
their
honorable
reputation
through
spitefull
slaunder
,
of
their
goodlye
reuenewes
through
priuate
lucre
,
and
of
their
lawfull
authoritie
through
proud
insolencie
:
I
doe
not
see
I
say
how
wee
can
say
lesse
than
this
:
O
homo
ne
interficias

,
O
man
kill
not
my
father

Thus
then
is
the
Altar
of
the
Lord
at
this
day
in
the
Church
of
England
polluted
in
many
a
foule
abuse
by
vs
of
the
ministerie
,
and
therefore
great
cause
there
is
to
lay
our
heads
and
hearts
together
,
and
to
lay
aside
all
bitternesse
and
cursed
speaking
one
agaynst
another
,
and
to
speake
euery
man
vnto
his
neighbour
,
as
Israel
did
,
for
repentance
,
and
against
sinne
.
But
now
let
vs
leaue
the
Altar
of
the
Lord
,
&
come
Ad
Atria
where
the
people
vse
to
stand
:
Alas
if
such
iniquitie
dwell
in
the
middest
of
the
Sanctuarie
,
and
amongst
the
Priests
,
what
maruaile
is
it
,
if
it
be
farre
worse
in
the
streetes
,
and
among
the
people
?
Surely
beloued
in
the
Lord
,
you
haue
not
done
wel
,
&
your
sin
lyeth
before
the
doore
,
as
well
as
ours
:
you
haue
plowed
wickednes
,
and
how
shoulde
you
but
reape
the
rewarde
of
iniquitie
?
For
what
cursed
thing
is
there
,
but
you
haue
reached
your
hands
vnto
it
,
and
delighted
your
hearts
in
it
,
as
wel
,
nay
ill
as
Israel
?
Is
it
sorcerie
?
Is
it
adulterie
?
Is
it
falseswearing
?
Alas
if
ther
were
no
other
sorcerie
,
but
the
subtill
inchaunting
of
their
circumuenting
tongues
,
it
were
too
much
:
for
thereby
as
with
the
sin
of
witchcraft
,
you
abuse
the
wise
,
and
defraud
the
simple
,
yea
thereby
you
reape
as
much
profite
as
by
patrimony
or
frée-land
:
&
the
bread
of
such
deceit
is
the
sweetest
morsel
that
commeth
into
some
of
your
mealy
mouthes
.
And
then
for
Adulterie
,
it
is
the
disease
that
cleaueth
fast
to
your
bones
,
and
lyeth
festring
in
your
bowels
,
and
hath
rooted
it selfe
betwéene
your
brestes
:
insomuch
that
the
father
defloureth
a
woman
,
and
to
make
her
amendes
marrieth
her
to
hys
owne
sonne
,

For

your

It

what

it
,
that

haue
kept

&
that

O

alas
how
hath
this
hellish
bramble
ouergrowne

?
O
the
plague
of
all
plagues
,
our
vnbeleeuing
hartes
,
this
makes
you
that
ye
will
not
be
warned
,
but
do
as
you
do
,
or
rather
that
you
care
not
what
you

,
this
hath
made
you
more
incredulus
then
the
diuils

Qui

which
beleue

And
by

are

not
at

If
a

looke

lay

speake
euery

finding

would
neuer

vntill
you

found

to

were
quite
out

Heereby
then
maye
you
measure
the
misthiefe
of
infidelitye
,
for
all
our
preaching
&
teaching
(
as
verye
fooles
and
Idiotes
as
you
accompt
vs

is
to
no
other
end
,
but
to
tell
you
,
and
giue
you
notice
of
a
dangerous
and
a
most
damnable
praemunire
whereinto
you
are
fallen

all
the

of
you

yea
euery

thorowe
your
desperate

rebellious

you

offer
to
sue

your
pardon
,
or
to
séeke
for
mercye
at
his
hands
,
whose
Maiestye
you
haue
so
highly
offended

Now
then
beloued
in
the
Lord
(
al
this
considered

is
it
not
hye
tyme

or
rather
more
then

growe
to
such
a
gratious
conference

This

therefore
as
we
owe
one

Here
you
are
to
consider
,
of
a
thréefolde
comforte
and
encouragement
,
which
they
receiued
from
the
Lord
.
Whereof
this
is
the
first
,
because
he
vouchsafed
to
heare
them
.
A
maruellous
grace
,
they
no
sooner
began
to
repent
,
but
the
Lord
gaue
eare
and
heard
them
:
Who
would
not
frame
him selfe
to
the
lyke
conference
,
and
penitent
conformity
?
No
no
,
dearely
beloued
,
our
God
is
not
like
to
Baall
,
he
can
heare
you
be
sure
,
for
as
Hillary
sayeth
,
Qui
naturam
audiendi
humano
generi
impertit
,
ipse
extra
auditus
non
potest
esse
naturam
.
He
that
made
the
eare
,
can
heare
,
and
he
can
answeare
you
aswel
by
fire
from
Heauen
,
as
euer
he
did
First
,
by
sending
down
the
holy
Ghost
to
comfort
you
.
There
is
not
the
softest
misereri
which
you
breath
out
of
your
mouthes
,
nor
the
least
penitent
thought
in
your
heartes
,
but
it
is
in
his
eares
like
the
shirlest
noise
of
a
trumpet
.
For
he
is
non
vocis
,
sed
cordis
auditor
,
not
the
hearer
of
the
voice
onelye
,
but
of
the
heart
to
.
And
he
can
heare
before
men
speak
,
for
he
said
to
Moyses
,
quid
clamas
ad
me
?
why
cryest
thou
to
mée
?
And
yet
he
spake
not
a
worde
,
only
he
sighed
and
groned
.

There

But
there

I
beséech
you

I
meane

That
one

is
theirs
which
contemne

despise
their

Therefore
iudge
you
what
a
meruellous
peuishnes
it
is
,
yea
worse
then
madnes
it selfe

to
desire
to
wax
oulde

to
cary
it
to
the

and
to
say
you
will
repent

end

for
it
is
a
memorandum

that
sin
wil
bring
the
Lord
so
farre
out

And
now
the
thrée
voices

heare

and
that
both
willingly

spéedely
,
are
these
.
First
the
voice
of

,
and
he
doeth
so
hear
it
,
that
it
is
alwayes
to
their
cost
which
shed
it
:
for
still
it
beggeth
vengeance
at
Gods
hands

and
is
therein
so
importunate

as

Beware
then
you
desperate
ympes
,
how
ye
séeke
by
blood
to
reuenge
your
drunken
quarrelles
:
and
take
héede
yée
cunning
deep
wittes
how
with
false
accusation
and
subtill
packing
,
you
ly
in

to
ease
your

,
by
shedding
your
neighbours
blood
.
And
you
(
right
Honourable
)
which
are
deputies
and
substitutes
to
our
dread
Soueraigne
,
Gods
Leiuetenant
here
in
England
,
be
wise
,
and
let
no
intercession
of
fréendes
,
no
corruptions
of
bribes
,
no
affection
of

,
stop
your

or
make
you
deafe
,
when
the
causes
of
blood
are
in
question
before
you
,
for
the

thereof
will
then
be
as

as

:
and
all

in
Pilats

not

Gods

.
An other
voice
which
the
Lord
will
heare
and
that
very
quickely
,
is
the
crye
of
the
poore
or
oppressed
,
be
they
widowes
or
fatherles
,
be
they
fréendles
or
succourles
:
And
this
is
apparant
by
his
owne
promise
.
Exod.

If
thou
vexe
or
trouble
any
such
,
that
is
,
widowe
or
fatherles
childe
,
and
so
he
call
and
cry
vnto
me
,
I
wil
surely
heare
his
cry
.
so
saieth
Eccle.
38.
he
heareth
the
prayer
of
the
opressed
.
And
marke
it
when
you
will
,
the
teares
of
the
widowe
runne
not
so
fast
downe
her
chéekes
,
but
they
arise
vp
as
fast
into
Heauen
:
and
the
Lord
which
heareth
them
,
in
due
time
pittieth
them
.
So
that
our
mercifull
God
is
not
like
those
Lacedemonian
Ephori
,
certaine
retchlesse
magistrates
,
which
heard
mens
peticions
they
cared
not
how
,
belike
with
their
haruest
eares
.
Nor
to
that
carelesse
Emperour
Adrianus
,
who
,
hauing
receiued
into
his
handes
many
billes
of
supplicacion
:
in
the
very
sight
of
the
suters
them selues
,
threwe
them
all
into
the
water
.
But
he
is
like
himselfe
,
id
est
,
is
full
of
compassion
,
and
tender
in
affection
towarde
the
distressed
,
to
whome
all
good
Magisstrats
and
Justices
ought
in
this
respect
to
be
lyke
.
You
may
read
in
Xenophon
,
what
authority
and
fauour
,
the
Persian
Kinges
obtained
,
by
suffering
the
people
to
haue
easie
accesse
vnto
them
,
when
they
came
with
complaints
for
redresse
of
their
wrongs
:
and
you
may
read
in
Samuell
how
strangelye
Absalon
stale
away
the
hearts
of
the
men
of
Israell
from
Dauid
his
Father
,
by
complaint
that
there
was
none
to
heare
them
,
and
by
promise
of
spéedye
dispatch
,
if
he
him selfe
might
rule
the
rost
.
I
grant
you
Ad
penitentiam
properat
,
qui
cito
Iudicat
.
He
hasteneth
to
Repentaunce
,
which
maketh
haste
to
giue
Judgement
.
But
it
is
ment
of
him
qui
preiudicat
,
which
giueth
rash
Judgement
.
For
otherwise
,
as
nothing
els
brought
Philippe
to
his
deaths
wound
,
but
because
he
wold
not
hear
the
complaint
of
Pausanias
.
And
as
nothing
wrought
that
maine
confusion
vpon
the
Lacedemonian
estate
,
that
neuer
could
be
recouered
,
but
onlye
their
slacknes
in
hearing
poore
mens
causes
.
So
indeed
nothing
more
fretteth
the
hartes
or
astraungeth
the
minds
of
poore
men
,
then
delaying
of
their
causes
from
hearing
.
Which
is
doubtlesse
a
great
faulte
in
our
Courts
in
England
,
both
ecclesiastical
&
ciuil
,
that
it
is
so
long
before
poore
mens
causes
can
come
to
hearing
.
Indeed
some
times
(
I
know
)
they
are
the
longer
,
by
meanes
of
their
careles
and
couetous
Lawyers
,
careles
of
their
cause
and
couetous
of
their
money
:
for
they
can
tell
,
how
to
spin
or
rather
to
spill
a
cause
,
&
to
draw
it
out
like
a
thréede
,
from
tearme
,
to
tearme
,
vntill
their
clyents
coats
be
thréed
bare
,
and
their
purses
money
bare
.
And
therefore
to
be
plaine
,
I
lyke
not
this
same
Ad
idem
in
proximum
,
which
is
so
much
vsed
among
the
Ciuilians
,
nor
these
same
néedeles
and
trifling
Demurrars
,
which
are
so
ordinary
,
among
the
common
Lawyers
:
for
both
these
proue
many
tymes
to
be
the
very
bane
and
murrain
of
many
a
good
mans
right
.
But
let
a
mans
cause
runne
thorow
all
the
delaies
and
pikes
,
that
the
cunning
of
any
drawlatch
can
deuise
,
yet
vnlesse
he
make
earnest
and
great
meanes
to
haue
it
heard
,
it
shal
neuer
be
hearde
,
vntill
doomesday
.
Be
wise
then
ye
Judges
of
the
earth
,
and
learne
to
be
forewarde
&
ready
to
heare
of
him
,
which
one
day
shall
Judge
you
all
,
and
suffer
not
good
men
to
be
discouraged
,
or
poore
men
to
be
eaten
out
of
all
they
haue
,
thorow
your
delayes
.
If
you
doe
,
you
shall
finde
that
the
Grand
Judge
him selfe
will
make
no
delay
,
to
rewarde
you
therafter
,
&
to
measure
his
vengeance
accordingly
.
Lastly
,
the
Lord
heareth
the
voice
of
the
penitent
,
nay
,
the
very
breath
and
the
least
thought
in
his
heart
,
tending
to
repentance
.
And
therfore
it
is
said
:
If
any
man
be
a
woorshipper
of
God
and
doth
his
will
,
him
doth
he
heare
.
Ioh.
9.
Now
this
is
his
will
,
euen
your
holynes
.
1.
Thes.
4.
And
he
willeth
not
the
death
of
a
sinner
,
but
that
he
should
be
conuerted
and
liue
.
And
besides
,
this
very
thing
is
warranted
vnto
vs
in
this
Scripture
,
why
,
they
did
no
soner
wish
wel
in
there
harts
but
the
Lord
heard
it
.
We
cannot
so
say
of
any
mortall
Prince
,
his
subiectes
may
speake
and
cry
and
call
long
inough
,
and
yet
if
they
be
not
,
within
his
hearing
they
are
neuer
y●
nere
.
And
therfore
this
is
a
flat
dash
to
that
peeuish
reason
of
the
papists
which
tell
vs
that
as
a
mortall
Prince
must
be
laboured
vnto
by
meanes
and
mediatours
,
so
must
the
Lord
our
God
be
solicited
by
Saints
and
Angells
:
Alas
there
is
no
proporcion
in
this
comparison
:
for
God
only
is
himself
Scrutator
Cordis
the
searcher
of
our
harts
:
&
we
cannot
do
it
but
by
meanes
:
And
what
iniury
or
rather
villāy
is
it
to
make
him
in
his
hearing
of
no
more
capasity
or
excellency
then
a
mortal
creature
?
And
so
let
this
suffice
,
for
our
first
encouragement
to
drawe
vs
on
to
repentance
,
for
that
the
Lord
vouchsafeth
to
hearken
and
hear
all
them
,
which
haue
but
any
motion
of
so
happy
a
purpose
.
Of
the
second
Comforte
.
ANd
a
booke
of
remembrance
was
written
before
him
.
&c.
Let
vs
now
in
these
words
consider
of
that
which
was
a
second
confort
&
encouragement
for
this
people
to
procede
in
their
repentance
.
That
it
was
acceptable
to
the
Lord
,
we
perceiue
by
his
attentiue
fauour
in
hearing
them
.
But
now
you
shall
vnderstand
that
it
was
very
honorable
besides
.
And
that
he
doth
vouchsafe
them
the
rarest
welcome
home
to
his
mercye
and
grace
,
that
euer
was
heard
of
,
for
he
caused
a
booke
of
remembrance
.
&c.
And
to
what
end
?
Surely
that
it
might
for
euer
be
remembred
,
how
much
he
deliteth
in
al
penitent
sinners
,
which
assone
as
euer
they
forsake
sin
,
he
will
embrace
&
honor
in
his
bottomles
and
abundant
mercy
.
Also
that
it
might
neuer
be
forgotten
,
that
howe
great
and
how
generall
soeuer
the
corruption
was
,
yet
they
were
the
people
which
became
penitent
,
and
turned
vnto
the
Lord
,
at
the
preching
of
Malachi
,
&
therefore
some
cause
why
all
posterity
should
be
encouraged
,
not
only
to
follow
their
example
,
but
also
to
haue
them
in
Admiration
.
It
shall
be
expedient
,
that
here
we
consider
first
,
what
is
ment
by
the
booke
of
remembrance
,
&
then
to
whom
it
doth
apertaine
.
For
this
book
of
remembrance
it
is
very
strange
We
read
of
certaine
stones
of
remembrance
,
which
being
ingrauen
with
the
names
of
the
children
of
Israell
,
and
set
in
golde
,
Aron
was
to
weare
that
he
might
remember
them
to
Godwards
.
And
we
finde
that
there
was
a
sacrifice
of
Remembrance
,
made
by
fire
,
for
a
sweete
sauour
vnto
the
Lord
,
to
signifie
that
God
will
not
forget
him
that
offereth
it
,
Leuit.
2.
And
we
vnderstand
of
a
Saboth
of
Remembrance
to
be
obserued
,
and
celebrated
,
for
a
memorial
of
the
blowing
of
Trumpets
,
and
of
the
Jubile
.
Leuit.
23.
And
who
can
be
ignorant
of
Absalons
piller
of
remembrance
,
which
he
erected
,
because
he
had
no
sonne
to
kepe
his
name
in
memorie
?
But
what
this
booke
of
Remembrance
should
importe
,
that
wee
doe
not
so
easelye
perceiue
.
Surely
some
learned
wryters
are
of
opinion
that
hereby
we
are
to
vnderstand
,
this
booke
of
Malachies
prophecy
.
Which
because
it
was
written
at
the
Lords
appointment
,
was
doutles
written
before
his
face
:
and
because
it
can
not
be
red
openly
in
the
congregation
,
without
recitall
of
this
their
conferrence
,
therefore
it
may
be
termed
iustly
a
booke
of
remembrance
.
Euen
as
the
gospell
it selfe
,
is
a
booke
of
Remembrance
,
in
respect
of
that
which
Marie
Magdalen
did
to
our
Sauiour
Christ
:
for
wheresoeuer
this
gospell
shall
be
preached
,
through
out
all
the
world
,
there
shal
this
also
that
she
hath
done
bee
spoaken
of
,
for
a
memoriall
of
her
,
saith
Christ
Jesus
himselfe
.
Math.

And
in
this
sence
it
doeth
maruelouslye
approue
and
confirme
the
authority
of
this
booke
of
Malachies
Prophecy
,
as
beeing
written
in
his
presence
,
and
at
his
appointment
.
But
by
the
censure
,
and
in
the
Judgement
of
the
most
learned
and
godly
writers
that
I
haue
red
;
there
is
another
meaning
to
be
vnderstoode
,
by
the
booke
of
remembrance
.
For
thereby
is
signified
the
booke
of
lyfe
,
wherein
the
righteous
are
written
,
and
whereof
we
read
.
Exod.
32.
Psal.
69.
Apoc.
3.
And
it
is
ment
,
that
therein
the
Lorde
did
write
their
names
presently
vpon
their
repentance
,
for
a
memoriall
thereof
.
And
that
you
may
sée
in
what
stéed
it
wil
stand
you
,
to
be
writen
in
the
booke
of
the
Lordes
Remembraunce
,
and
to
be
remembred
in
the
booke
of
lyfe
,
consider
first
of
that
which
is
set
downe
Daniell
.
12.
ver.
1.
And
thereby
may
you
perseiue
that
albeit
there
fall
out
such
a
tyme
of
trouble
,
as
neuer
was
since
the
worlde
beganne
,
yet
euerye
one
that
shal
be
found
written
in
the
booke
of
lyfe
shall
be
delyuered
,
and
to
the
same
effect
it
is
,
that
this
booke
was
ordained
for
this
people
▪
to
be
as
it
were
their
Passeouer
,
to
auoid
and
escape
the
dayes
of
miserye
,
which
the
Lorde
did
threaten
,
to
bring
vpon
them
.
Prouide
that
the
doore
postes
of
your
consciences
maye
be
sprinckled
with
the
bloode
of
the
Lambe
,
or
that
your
repentaunce
maye
bee
recorded
in
the
booke
of
lyfe
,
and
you
are
sure
of
an
euerlasting
Passeouer
to
escape
Gods
most
dreadfull
vengeance
.
But
if
you
will
sée
that
prerogatiue
,
which
is
,
Instar
omnium
:
in
stéede
of
all
other
.
Then
consider
againe
and
againe
,
of
that
which
is
written
,
in
20.
Apoc.
ver
,
12.
Wherin
the
glorious
maiesty
of
our
Sauiour
Jesus
Christ
,
is
moste
truely
described
,
euen
as
he
shall
come
to
Judge
the
quick
and
the
dead
,
for
it
is
said
,
And
I
saw
the
dead
both
great
and
small
stand
before
God
:
and
the
bookes
were
opened
,
&
another
book
was
opened
,
which
is
the
book
of
lyfe
,
&
the
dead
wer
iudged
of
those
things
which
were
written
in
the
bookes
,
acording
to
their
workes
.
But
now
what
are
these
bookes
that
shall
be
opened
before
the
booke
of
lyfe
be
opened
?
doubtles
these
thrée
,
the
booke
of
the
Lawe
,
the
booke
of
the
Gospell
,
and
the
booke
of
Conscience
.
First
the
booke
of
the
Law
shal
be
opened
,
and
laid
before
vs
,
that
it
maye
appeare
what
duetye
we
ought
to
haue
done
towardes
God
and
man
through
loue
.
And
euen
as
Moyses
commanded
the
Leuites
to
put
this
booke
in
the
side
of
the
Arke
,
that
it
might
be
for
a
witnes
against
them
,
when
they
disobeyed
the
same
.
Deu.
31.
So
shall
all
the
workers
of
iniquity
in
the
fearefull
day
of
the
Lord
,
find
this
booke
a
swift
witnes
against
them
.
And
if
Iosias
rent
his
cloathes
and
wept
for
wo
,
when
he
heard
the
law
red
,
and
thereby
sawe
how
much
duety
was
required
,
and
how
little
he
had
performed
:
what
sorrow
and
heauines
shall
compas
vs
about
,
and
if
it
were
possible
,
dissolue
our
teares
,
and
turne
them
into
drops
of
blood
?
When
in
the
presence
of
this
our
seuere
Judge
we
shall
both
heare
and
sée
,
not
onelye
what
we
haue
left
vndone
,
in
that
book
commanded
,
but
also
what
we
haue
done
therein
forbidden
.
In
the
meane
time
therefore
,
let
vs
not
onelye
be
hearers
of
the
Law
,
but
dooers
also
,
lest
then
we
finde
Gods
fauour
vnrecouerable
,
and
our
repentance
vnprofitable
.
Secondly
the
booke
of
the
Gospell
shal
be
opened
,
that
thereby
it
may
appear
what
mercy
,
what
grace
,
what
frée
pardon
,
what
remission
of
sinne
,
what
imputation
of
righteousnes
,
and
what
assuraunce
of
lyfe
and
Saluation
,
you
might
haue
had
in
Christ
Jesus
.
If
you
had
bene
so
happye
to
haue
sought
it
by
repentance
,
and
to
haue
laid
holde
vppon
it
by
faith
.
At
the
opening
of
this
booke
,
shall
you
sée
before
your
eyes
all
the
swéete
promises
,
and
tender
inuitations
which
our
Sauiour
Christ
offred
vnto
you
through
preaching
of
the
gospell
,
to
haue
drawne
you
to
repentance
,
Then
shall
all
the
benefites
of
his
bitter
passion
be
laid
open
before
your
eyes
,
and
you
shall
sée
that
he
was
debased
himselfe
,
to
haue
brought
you
to
honour
:
that
he
was
wounded
himself
to
haue
healed

you
can
not

Then
shal

the

If

And

Psal.

So
that
as
Assuerus
had
his
booke
of

,
wherein
the
names
of
such
,
as
had
don
him
hye
seruice
at
any

,
wer
vsually
written

and
as
he
finding
that
Mardocheus
had
discouered
two
traitours
which
sought
to
laye
violent
hands
vpon
the
King
,
caused
him
to

the

for

he
not

names
in

will
he
not
giue
vs
the
rich
robes
of
his
innocencie
?
and
the
royall
crowne
of
his
euerlasting
glorye
?
Read
you
the
2.
of
the
Re
▪
and
you
shall
see
,
that
the
Lord
doeth
professe
this
fauour
:
Very
notably
he
tolde
the
Church
of
Ephesus
that
heknew
her
workes
,
her
labor
and
her
patience
&c.
And
so
he
tolde
the
church
of
Smirna
,
the
Church
of
Pergamus
,
and
the
Church
of
Thyatyra
,
that
he
knew
not
onely
what
yet
they
had
done
,
but
also
did
remember
and
recite
in
particuler
their
good
,
reckoning
with
them
for
the
one
,
and
promissing
to
rewarde
them
for
the
other
.
Secondly
in
this
booke
of
Remembraunce
we
shall
finde
written
the
teares
of
our
affliction
,
and
therefore
Dauid
saith
:
Thou
haste
counted
my
wandrings
,
&
put
my
teares
into
thy
bottle
,
are
they
not
in
thy
register
?
Ps.
56.

Can
there
,
be
a
greater
comfort
then
this
when
wee
are
brought
to
the
stake
to
bee
burnt
,
or
to
the
sworde
to
be
cut
as
flesh
to
the
potte
,
or
to
the
wilde
horsses
to
be
torne
in
a
thousand
peeces
?
Let
the
butcherlike
tirants
glut
their
hartes
by
making
ashes
of
our
bodies
,
or
foules
meat
,
or
dogs
meat
of
our
flesh
,
what
care
wee
?
They
can
not
scrape
our
teares
out
of
the
booke
of
Remembrance
,
nor
race
our
bloode
out
of
the
register
of
lyfe
.
Thirdly
,
In
this
booke
of
Remembrance
we
shall
finde
written
the
works
of
our
compassion
,
for
so
much
doth
the
wordes
of
our
Sauiour
Christ

Who
shall
say
to

on
the

hand
,
Come
ye
blessed
of
my
Father
inherite
ye
the
kingdome
prepared
for
you
from
the
foundation
of
the
world
,
for
I
was
an

&
ye
gaue

&c.
Then
shall
the
righteous
aunswer
him
,
and
say
,
Lord
When
sawe
we
thee
anhongred
,
&c.
Then
shall
he
answer
and
say
,
Verely
,
in
asmuche
as
you
haue
done
it
to
one
of
the
least
of
these
my
brethren
,
ye
haue
done
it
vnto
me
.
And
so
much
doth
the
woordes
of

import

Where
he
saith
,
that
the
Almighty
will
witnes
his
pitty
towardes
the
poore
,
albeit
his
enemy
should
write
a
booke
against
him
.
And
so
will
he
doe
for
vs
:
If
wee
giue
but
a
cuppe
of
colde
water
for
his
names
sake
,
we
shal
not
lose
our
rewarde
.
We
see
that
Princes
haue
their
bookes
of
Subsidies
,
of
Beneuolence
,
of
priuye
Seales
,
wherein
they
set
down
whatsoeuer
good
they
receiue
at
the
hands
of
their
Subiects
,
by
free
gift
or
vpon
lone
or
lending
.
And
so
it
is
with
our
heauenly
potentat
:
I
warrant
you
,
if
you
releeue
the
poore
,
he
sets
it
down
in
his
book
for
a
subsidy
,
or
a
beneuolence
don
to
him
:
&
if
you
lend
to
the
poore
&
needy
,
he
sets
it
downe
for
a
priuy
seale
lent
to
him
:
&
he
will
become
your
debter
,
and
sée
it
discharged
to
the
vttermost
.
Therefore
ye
rich
men
,
out
with
your
subsidie
,
extend
your
beneuolences
,
and
send
abroad
your
priuye
seale
money
,
the
Lord
will
not
forget
it
,
he
will
not
faile
but
set
it
downe
in
his
booke
of
Remembrance
.
And
heere
,
right
Honorable
,
and
beloued
in
the
Lord
,
I
cannot
but
put
you
in
minde
of
a
necessary
Beneuolence
,
and
a
Christian
subsidy
,
to
be
supplyed
in
respect
of
the
Godly
preachers
,
called
,
and
appointed
for
this
place
:
which
as
you
know
is
vsually
and
best
furnished
with
learned
men
,
from
both
the
vniuersities
:
But
how
hardlye
,
and
vnwillinglye
they
ar
drawen
hither
,
it
is
but
to
wel
known
.
And
why
?
because
they
are
faine
to
come
at
their
owne
great
coste
and
charge
,
which
can
not
stand
with
their
poore
and
small
abilitye
:
For
I
speake
not
for
my selfe
,
and
other●
my
brethren
,
which
thankes
be
to
God
are
prouided
for
sufficiently
to
do
any
seruice
appliable
to
our
calling
,
without
beeing
chargeable
to
you
:
But
for
fellowes
in
Colleges
,
and
other
poore
students
in
the
vniuersities
,
men
of
rare
knowledge
and
singuler
guifts
,
which
being
enioyned
to
supply
this
place
,
are
not
more
often
sent
for
,
then
commonlye
they
refuse
to
come
:
And
for
my
parte
,
I
cannot
greatlye
blame
them
:
for
why
should
they
labour
and
haue
no
hyre
?
Or
tread
out
your
corne
with
the
Oxe
,
and
haue
their
mouthes
musted
?
No
man
is
hound
proprijs
stipendiis
militare
to
make
warre
at
his
owne
charge
.
Why
should
not
he
that
preacheth
the
Gospell
,
liue
of
the
gospel
?
Or
why
should
not
they
which
sowe
spirituall
things
,
reape
your
temporall
things
?

Sinnesana
in
Campania
,
maketh
mad
men
wise
and
sober
,
and
so
this
water
chaungeth
worldly
folly
into
Heauenly
wisedome
.
The
water
of
Clytumnus
,
if
O●enor
shéep
being
neuer
so
blacke
,
vse
to
drinke
of
it
,
it
wil
make
them
as
white
as
the
driuen
snowe
:
So
this
water
albeit
sinne
hath
made
you
as
blak
in
soule
as
any
Ethiopian
is
in
bodye
,
yet
it
will
wash
you
,
and
purge
you
,
and
make
you
cleane
and
white
.
And
as
the
water
of
Bethesda
when
it
was
moued
by
the
Angell
,
cured
them
which
stept
into
it
,
whatsoeuer
disease
they
had
:
So
this
water
will
cure
and
recouer
al
the
infirmities
of
your
sicke
soules
,
if
ye
step
into
it
,
and
embrace
it
,
when
Gods
ministers
moue
it
,
and
poure
it
out
before
you
.
To
be
shorte
,
as
Varro
writeth
of
Zame
,
a
fountaine
in
Affrica
,
that
it
runneth
with
such
sweete
singing
noise
,
that
thereby
bothe
men
and
beasts
are
allured
to
drinke
of
it
:
So
the
waters
of
lyfe
,
running
and
falling
in
this
publik
and
famous
place
,
through
such
learned
pipes
,
and
gratious
Conduites
as
comes
from
the
Vniuersities
▪
are
moste
pleasant
and
of
maruellous
force
,
to
allure
all
men
,
bothe
cleane
and
vncleane
,
to
taste
of
them
,
and
to
hath
their
sinfull
soules
in
them
.
Wherefore
the
vertue
and
excellencie
of
this
water
,
being
so
singuler
,
and
soueraigne
as
you
haue
heard
▪
I
hope
it
will
not
grudge
you
with
all
spéede
to
prouide
that
it
maye
haue
moste
frée
and
plentifull
passage
to
this
Cittie
,
thorow
your
Christian
relief
and
lyberalitye
.
I
am
not
the
first
that
hathe
moued
this
sute
,
but
you
may
be
the
first
that
euer
tendered
it
,
or
prouided
for
it
:
two
and
fifty
poundes
a
yere
,
would
bountifully
performe
it
,
a
good
parte
whereof
(
as
I
haue
toulde
you
)
a
Reuerend
and
moste
learned
Bishoppe
meaneth
to
yeld
:
And
if
you
would
vouchafe
to
ioyne
with
him
,
and
to
lay
out
the
rest
,
and
so
make
vppe
the
somme
,
out
of
your
common
treasurye
for
the
cittie
,
you
should
not
onely
be
thankfully
remembred
in
this
place
vnto
the
worlds
end
,
but
also
this
good
woorke
of
your
compassion
shall
be
recorded
in
the
booke
of
the
Lords
Remembrance
,
and
at
the
last
day
,
you
shall
reap
the
frute
of
your
well
doing
,
&
finde
that
with
such
sacrifice
God
is
highlye
pleased
,
Lastly
in
this
booke
of
Remembrance
shall
be
written
the
sorrow
and
remorse
▪
of
our
penitent
and
broken
harts
.
And
hereof
what
better
testimony
,
then
this
present
Scripture
,
The
Lord
caused
a
booke
of
Remembraunce
to
be
written
,
&c.
It
is
doubtles
a
great
and
gratious
fauour
when
the
Lord
sayeth
,
At
what
time
soeuer
a
sinner
shall
repent
,
I
will
blot
his
wickednes
out
of
my
Remembrance
,
Ezech.
18.
But
this
passeth
and
is
with
out
all
comparison
,
that
he
will
make
a
memoriall
of
it
,
and
write
a
booke
of
Remembrance
of
our
repentaunce
,
and
recorde
it
in
the
booke
of
lyfe
,
So
that
with
Israel
,
we
shal
not
onelye
escape
all
euill
,
or
the
greatest
euill
in
this
lyfe
,
but
also
at
the
last
and
most
de●adfull
time
,
be
tide
what
shall
,
come
the
day
of
the
Lord
neuer
so
glowmingly
,
sound
the
trumpet
neuer
so
fear
fully
,
arrise
the
dead
neuer
so
sinfully
,
approch
the
deuils
neuer
so
fiearsly
smoake
the
mountaines
melt
the
hilles
,
tremble
the
earth
,
vanishe
the
sea
,
flash
and
flame
the
whole
vn●uersall
worlde
,
neuer
so
furiously
,
yet
this
shal
be
our
comfort
and
refuge
▪
that
we
haue
repented
vs
of
our
sinnes
,
and
that
our
Repentance
is
of
record
,
and
written
in
the
booke
of
the
Judges
remembrance
▪
And
so
to
come
to
the
next
obseruation
in
this
comfort
:
Seing
the
Prophet
in
plaine
termes
saith
that
this
booke
was
written
for
them
that
feared
the
Lord
,
and
thought
vpon
his
name
,
let
all
the
woorkers
of
Iniquitye
which
forget
God
,
and
put
farre
from
the●
the
euill
day
,
which
saith
in
their
hartes
▪
tush
▪
God
hath
forgotten
,
hee
wil
not
sée
it
,
which
are
at
their
leagues
with
death
,
and
at
their
bargaines
with
hell
,
let
them
all
stand
backe
and
know
,
that
there
is
no
place
for
their
names
in
this
booke
:
And
why
?
the
Lord
himself
yeelds
the
reason
,
Whosoeuer
sinneth
against
me
,
I
will
put
his
name
out
of
my
booke
.
Ex.
32.
And
againe
.
I
will
make
their
rememberance
to
cease
from
among
men
:
No
,
No
,
Ieremie
telleth
them
plaine
enough
where
they
shal
be
writen
,
euen
in
the
dust
or
in
the
earth
Ier.
17.
and
why
?
because
they
haue
forsaken
the
Lord
,
the
fountaine
of
liuing
waters
.
Therefore
let
them
write
their
names
vpon
their
owne
stately
houses
,
and
vpon
their
sumpteous
tombes
and
Sepulchers
,
no
man
will
controll
them
.
But
it
is
their
Judgement
to
be
scattred
lyke
the
chaffe
before
the
wind
:
Psal.
1.
To
be
withered
lyke
grasse
before
the
Sonne
.
Psal.
37.
and
to
melt
or
consume
lyke
waxe
before
the
fire
.
Psal.
68.
that
is
:
to
be
forgotten
,
and
to
be
raked
vppe
and
buried
in
the
forlorne
ashes
of
all
obscuritye
and
obliuion
.
And
yet
their
punishment
shall
not
be
forgotten
,
I
warrant
you
:
for
that
is
written
and
set
downe
in
another
kinde
of
booke
then
we
haue
yet
spoken
off
,
I
meane
the
blacke
booke
of
Gods
most
bitter
vengeance
,
wherof
Ezechel
speaketh
Chap.
2.
Which
indeede
is
written
within
and
without
,
and
there
is
nothing
written
in
it
,
but
lamentation
,
&
mourning
,
and
woe
.
For
alas
howe
should
they
lament
and
mourne
and
bewaile
their
cursed
condition
,
when
because
they
are
not
founde
written
in
the
booke
of
lyfe
,
therefore
their
owne
consciences
shall
accuse
them
:
all
creatures
shall
be
suffred
to
exclame
vpon
them
:
The
Judge
himselfe
shall
condemne
them
to
be
cast
into
the
lake
of
fyre
:
the
blessed
Angels
shall
thruste
them
out
of
Gods
presence
:
and
the
vgly
deuils
shall
thereupon
arrest
them
,
for
firebrands
of
hell
.
And
so
to
conclude
this
point
I
can
say
no
more
but
onely
wish
with
Iob.
cap.
19.
That
my
words
were
written
in
a
booke
,
and
Ingrauen
with
an
Iron
pen
in
lead
or
in
stone
,
for
euer
,
id

,
in
the
harts
and
minds
of
you
all
,
so
many
as
are
here
present
,
whether
they
be
like
vnto
a
booke
,
id

,
learned
and
wise
,
and
well
able
to
instruct
others
:
or
like
vnto

,
id

through
grosse
ignoraunce
,
or
like
vnto
stone
,
id
est
,
obdurat
,
and
hard
,
euen
through
sinne
and
wickednes
:
yet
the
Lord
graunt
that
the
Iron
penne
of
his
ingrauing
Spirite
,
may
imprint
depe
in
your
harts
,
and
soules
,
the
somme
and
effect
of
all
that
I
haue
spoken
touching
the
booke
of
Remembraunce
,
and
that
you
maye
esteeme
with
your selues
,
how
fearefull
a
thing
it
will
be
to
fall
into
the
handes
of
the
Lorde
at
the
last
daye
,
because
your
Repentaunce
is
not
of
Recorde
,
nor
written
in
the
booke
of
his
gratious
Remembraunce
.
Of
the
third
Comforte
.
ANd
they
shall
be
vnto
me
saith
the
Lorde
for
a
flocke
.
&c.
In
these
words
the
Israelites
are
mightely
encouraged
to
procede
in
their
repentaunce
,
with
a
mercifull
promise
of
the
Lords
protection
,
wherein
most
gratiouslye
he
giues
them
warrantise
of
two
things
.
First
that
they
shal
be
to
him
for
a
flock
,
&c.
Who
woulde
not
repent
,
and
bee
obedient
to
the
voice
of
the
messengers
of
the
Lord
,
that
might
thereby
become
so
happy
,
as
to
be
his
flocke
▪
yea
or
a
shéepe
of
his
flocke
?
A
rare
encouragement
exceding
farre
the
royaltye
of
all
Princes
,
and
the
Maiestye
of
all
Emperours
.
For
as
the
Lord
hath
freelye
chosen
to
him selfe
of
all
the
trées
in
the
woode
one
Vine
:
of
all
the
flowrs
in
the
garden
one
Lyllie
:
of
all
the
depthes
of
the
sea
,
one
Riuer
:
of
all
the
buildinges
on
the
earth
,
one
Syon
:
of
all
the
foules
of
the

,
one
Doue

of
all
the
cattell
of
the
earth
,
one
shéepe
:
and
of
all
the
Nations
of
the
world
,
one
people
:
So
this
people
is
his
flocke
:
and
this
flocke
is
his
church
,
and
this
Church
is
not
Synagoga
,
id

qualiscunque
Congregatio
,
any

yea
common

euocare
,
for
the
manner
of
the
Athenians
was
,
when
they
woulde
haue
the
people
assembled
to
heare
the
sentence
of
the
Senate
,
to
send
foorth
a
cryer
to
call
vpon
them
and
so
to
●u●l
them
out
from
the
rascal
sorte
of
the
people
:
And
here
vpon
the
Apostle
translated
the
word
to
their
purpose
,
and
gaue
the

An

called
or
c●lled
from
the
kingdome
of
sath

to
grace

This
is
the
way
then

become
the
shepe
of
Christ
his
flock
,
&
so
to
be
reputed
and
taken
:
to
do
as

did
,

obey
his

And
Moyses
had
incharge
to
tel
the
Israelites
thus
much
from
the
Lord
,
that
if
they
wold
here
his
voyce
in
deed
,
&
kéep
his
couenant
,
then
they
should
be
his
flock
or
chief
tresure
aboue
al
people
,
Ex.
19.
let
this
then
stand
●or
one
of
the
most
happiest
prerogatiues
of
the
flock
of
Christ
,
that
it
is
&
will
be
assembled
at
the
sounde
of
his
heauenlye
worde
,
from
the
rascall
hearde
of
goates
.
The
voice
of
Gods
worde
makes
his
people
flocke
and
throug
together
;
lyke
shéepe
to
the
folde
.
Another
prerogatiue
of
this
flock
is
,
that
as
it
is
conuented
and
assembled
by
the
call
of
the
worde
,
so
it
is
continued
and
kept
together
thorow
vnity
and
christian
loue
,
which
is
the
bond
of
perfection
▪
This
is
like
the
folde
that
coopes
vp
the
shepe
together
,
and
keepes
them
from
wandring
and
stragling
▪
It
is
lyke
the
band
that
preserues
the
shese
or
faggot
from
shattering
Vnus
Pastor
,
vnum
Ouile
.
There
is
one
sheepehearde
and
one
flocke
or
sheepefolde
.
And
therefore
in
the
behalf
of
Jesus
Christ
our
head
shepehearde
,
I
beséeche
you
,
and
for
your
owne
saluations
sake
,
I
require
you
and
charge
you
al
to
take
heed
how
by
scismes
and
sects
ye
seeke
to
scatter
the
flocke
of
Christ
,
lest
you
bring
it
from
Ouile
to
Hedile
,
and
from
Hedile
to
Canile
,
from
a
shepefolde
to
a
hearde
of
Goates
,
and
from
a
heard
of
Goates
,
to
a
kennell
of
dogges
.
Alas
,
alas
,
it
was
not
lawfull
to
break
a
bone
of
Christes
naturall
bodye
,
but
hée
that
breaketh
the
peace
of
the
Church
,
breaketh
the
verye
backebone
of
his
misticall
body
.
And
it
was
as
vnlawfull
to
part
or
deuide
so
muche
as
his
vnseamed
cote
:
But
they
which
practise
to
deuide
the
Church
,
what
do
they
else
,
but
teare
his
cote
off
his
backe
?
and
rent
in
sonder
his
tender
harte
?
Wherefore
as
nature
forced
the
right
mother
to
abhorre
the
deuiding
of
her
owne
childe
.
1.
King
.
3.
So
the
Lord
graunt
,
that
grace
may
make
vs
all
forbear
to
deuide
the
sweete
Spouse
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
common
mother
of
vs
al
:
Nature
I
say
made
the
mother
to
abhorre
to
deuide
the
child
,
and
can
not
grace
make
the
childe
aborre
to
deuide
the
mother
?
A
third
prerogatiue
of
the
Lords
flocke
is
,
that
it
is
sustained
and
fostered
after
the
best
manner
that
may
be
possible
.
For
Dauid
saith
The
Lord
is
my
shepheard
,
therfore
I
shal
want
nothing
.
Psal.
23.
And
againe
,
He
shall
feede
me
in
a
greene
pasture
,
and
lead
me
besids
the
waters
of
comforte
.
By
the
greene
pasture
we
are
to
vnderstand
,
the
woorde
of
trueth
,
Quod
manet
in
aeternum
:
Esay
.
40.
For
this
alwayes
flourisheth
,
and
neither
the
heat
of
Sommer
can
scorch
it
,
nor
the
colde
of
winter
freese
it
.
And
by
the
waters
of
comforte
,
he
meaneth
the
graces
of
the
holye
Ghost
according
to
that
which
is
written
.
Io.
7.
Hee
that
beleueth
in
me
,
out
of
his
belly
shal
flow
riuers
of
the
water
of
lyfe
.
Fourthlye
,
this
flocke
is
sure
to
be
guided
,
and
directed
by
the
Lordes
owne
hand
,
Hee
shall
lead
mee
in
the
pathes
of
righteousnes
,
saith
Dauid
.
Psa
,
23.
And
againe
,
Thou
art
with
me
:
thy
rod
and
thy
staffe
comforte
me
.
By
his
rod
he
meaneth
such
correction
as
it
shall
please
him
to
giue
the
shéepe
of
his
pasture
:
And
by
his
staffe
,
he
vnderstandeth
●he
strength
and
power
whereby
hee
will
dryue
backe
his
enemies
.
And
to
this
very
end
was
the
ministery
of
the
Angels
ordained
,
to
guarde
the
flocke
of
Christ
in
all
safety
.
The
Angell
of
the
Lord
pitcheth
round
about
them
that
feare
him
,
&
delyuereth
them
.
Psal.
34.
And
againe
,
He
shall
giue
his
Angelles
charge
ouer
thee

wonderfull
is
the
protection
,
and
most
tender
is
the
care
which
the
Lord
hath
ouer
his

It
were
a
great
fauour
to
allow
vnto
his
flocke
a
garde
of
men
,
and
to
allowe
it
a
band
of

were
exceading

surpassing
and
incredible
loue
:
But
to
make
the
Angels
garde
vs
,
and
to
pitch
round
about
vs
for
our
safetye
,
what
an
vnspeakeable
prerogatiue
is
it
of
his
incomparable
mercye
and

compassion
towardes
the

what

when

our

that

when

left

and
sought
it
out
,
and
brought

But
what
if
the
Lordes
flock
be
left
in
the
middes
of

,
id
est
,
Heretickes
,
or

yet
the
Lorde
hathe
noe
suche
purpose
rhere
to
leaue
them
,
because
they
should
be
deuoured
of
them
,
but
a
contrary
drift
there
is
,
which
you
woulde
lyttle
thinke
.
That
is
,
that
this
flocke
should
ouercome
and
deuoure
the
Wolues
themselues
.
And
so
much
Chrisostome
saith
,
Plurimos
morsus
ab
us
accipientes
non
solum
non
consumuntur
,
sed
et
illos
conuertunt
,
receiuing
many
bytings
of
them
,
they
are
not
only
not
deuoured
,
but
they
euen
conuert
them
.
And
this
is
surely
miraculous
.
It
were
strange
to
see
a
shéepe
ouercome
or
kil
a
wolfe
But
it
is
not
straunge
to
sée
one
of
Christes
sheepe
ouercome
or
kill
one
of
Sathans
Wolues
.
It
were
a
wonder
to
heare
that
a
sheepe
should
turne
a
Wolfe
into
a
sheepe
(
I
warrant
you
that
Ouid
in
all
his
Metamorphosis
hathe
none
suche
)
But
it
is
not
vnlikelye
nor
vnpossible
that
one
of
the
Lordes
sheepe
may
of
an
Heretike
make
a
good
Christian
,
and
of
a
tyrant
a
good
Magistrat
,
which
is
al
one
in
effect
.
And
therefore
Chrisostome
saith
,
multo
mirabilius
est
et
maius
,
transmutare
mentes
eorum
,
quam
interficere
eos
.
It
is
a
thing
much
more
wonderfull
&
greater
,
to
chaunge
the
minds
of
Heretikes
&
tyrants
then
to
kill
them
.
Taking
these
Wolues
for
Heretikes
,
you
shall
finde
that
the
sheepe
of
the
Lords
flocke
haue
conuerted
them
,
and
turned
them
into
shéepe
.

did
he
not
turne

Woulfe

The

his

wrought
a
wounderfull
feate

rauished
the

accused
him

into
so
muche
that
he
knew
no
better
waye
to
make
him
amendes
,
but
to
confesse
that
he
himselfe
was
a
Christian
as
well
as
the
Apostle
,
and
asked
him
forgiuenes
for
his
treatcherye
,
and
was
willing
to
drinke
of
the

cup
of
torments
with
him
Now
what
was
this
but
to
turne
a
woulfe
into
a
sheepe
?
But
taking
wolues
for

,
you
may
sée
and
consider
how
the

hath
ouercome

forbid

saying
For
one
is
your

I
knowe
no
reason
but
this
,
for
that
no
father
on
earth
doeth
so
tenderlye
loue
his
owne
children
,
as
our
heauenlye
Father
doeth
affect
and
like
of
vs
,
being
but
his
adopted
children
.
He
spareth
vs
in
three
respectes
,
in
two
of
them
much
lyke
a
naturall
Father
,
but
in
the
third
there
is
no
comparison
,
I
am
sure
,
and
so
you
will
say
.
First
,
as
a
naturall
Father
will
not
Kill
or
destroye
his
childe
when
he
is
sicke
,
and
feeble
,
and
cannot
eat
his
meat
,
or
aborreth
such
things
thorow
infirmity
,
as
should
be
a
mean
to
recouer
his
health
:
So
our
heauenly
Father
will
spare
vs
,
and
not
condemne
vs
,
or
confound
vs
for
euer
,
although
we
be
sicke
in
spirite
,
and
weake
in
faith
,
&
do
euen
loath
often
times
his
heauenly
woord
,
which
is
the
health
and
saluation
of
our
soules
.
Secondly
,
like
a
natural
father
he
spareth
vs
in
respect
of
our
wilfull
prodigalities
,
and
wastinges
of
his
blessinges
and
graces
:
not
vnlike
that
same
louing
Father
in
the
gospell
who
forgaue
his
sonne
,
which
had
so
leudlye
consumed
his
fathers
substance
,
and
his
owne
portion
.
Our
race
we
haue
as
wilfully
runne
.
Our
tyme
we
haue
as
vainely
spent
.
His
fauours
we
haue
as
ilfau●●rdly
bestowed
,
and
his
displeasure
we
haue
as
desperatly
incurred
.
But
yet
come
home
to
his
mercy
by
repentaunce
,
and
say
,
father
we
haue
sinned
against
thee
▪
&c.
and
then
you
shall
finde
that
he
wil
spare
you
,
and
embrace
you
in
the
armes
of
his
mercifull
compassion
.
&c.
But
now
to
speake
of
that
respect
of
the
Lords
gratious
fauour
which
is
without
comparison
.
What
naturall
Father
euer
did
as
he
hath
done
▪
to
spare
vs
which
were
but
his
adopted
children
,
hee
hath
not
spared
his
onelie
begotten
Sonne
Christ
Jesus
.
So
that
to
vs
ward
he
was
woorth
his
promise
heere
made
,
but
hee
hath
laide
it
vppon
his
naturall
sonne
with
a
witnesse
〈◊〉
our
sakes
.
He
was
faine
to
resigne
a
royall
kingdome
to
come
to
an
Asses
cribbe
:
to
relinquish
the
sweete
societie
of
Angels
,
to
liue
among
malitious
rakehels
,
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
:
to
surrender
a
throne
of
glory
,
for
a
cursed
crosse
of
wood
:
to
yéelde
vp
a
crowne
of
blisse
,
for
a
crowne
of
thornes
:
to
loose
the
fauour
of
his
heauenly
father
,
to
pleasure
his
deadly
foes
:
and
to
suffer
death
,
that
miserable
wretches
might
be
spared
and
saued
aliue
.
O
kind
and
tender
Sauiuiour
,
to
spare
and
to
saue
vs
,
thou
hast
suffered
thy selfe
to
become
a
very
spoile
for
the
malice
of
Sathan
.
I
graunt
you
Fabius
Maximus
was
verie
desirous
to
spare
and
saue
the
Romane
Captiues
,
when
hee
solde
all
his
patrimony
to
redéeme
them
.
But
our
Sauiour
Christ
hath
suffered
himselfe
to
be
solde
,
to
redéeme
vs
his
very
enemies
in
respect
.
Mithridates
was
wondred
at
for
his
tender
affection
toward
Leonicus
his
deere
frend
,
because
hee
gaue
all
the
Rhodian
captiues
to
redeeme
him
:
but
yet
he
gaue
his
enemies
to
redéeme
his
friend
.
But
Christ
Jesus
our
blessed
Sauiour
,
hath
giuen
himselfe
to
redeeme
his
enemies
.
To
bee
short
,
when
there
was
in
Rome
a
sodaine
gaping
gulph
which
they
could
by
no
meanes
fill
vp
,
and
the
Oracle
had
signified
,
that
except
the
chiefest
thing
,
and
that
which
the
commons
loued
best
,
were
cast
into
it
,
it
could
not
be
stopped
:
Curtius
vnderstanding
that
he
himselfe
was
their
onely
Jewel
,
without
any
more
adoe
threw
himselfe
into
it
,
and
so
it
was
fild
vp
presently
.
Yet
this
was
done
for
his
country
,
that
loued
him
so
well
,
that
they
accounted
nothing
better
or
more
worthy
than
hée
.
But
when
the
gaping
gulph
of
Gods
most
dreadfull
vengeance
was
to
bee
stopped
,
our
blessed
sauiour
cast
himselfe
into
the
middest
of
it
,
and
died
a
most
bitter
death
,
&
this
he
did
for
the
people
,
which
thought
they
had
nothing
worse
or
more
vile
than
hee
,
no
not
Barrabas
that
arrant
cutthroat
.
What
shall
I
say
then
of
this
so
rare
,
so
royall
,
so
vnspeakeable
,
and
so
incomparable
loue
of
his
towards
vs
?
I
can
say
no
lesse
than
Barnard
said
,
Opus
sine
exemplo
,
gratia
sine
merito
,
charitas
sine
modo
:
Such
a
worke
as
hath
no
example
,
a
fauour
without
desert
,
and
loue
without
measure
.
The
Lord
therefore
graunt
that
such
bottomles
compassion
in
him
may
presently
work
some
thankfull
compunction
in
you
.
And
that
as
the
vaile
of
the
temple
rent
in
sunder
from
the
toppe
to
the
bottome
,
when
these
thinges
were
performed
:
So
the
consideration
of
the
extreame
miserie
which
hée
endured
,
that
hée
might
spare
and
saue
our
forlorne
soules
,
may
ransacke
euery
vaine
in
our
hearts
in
all
due
remorse
.
And
y●
as
the
very
earth
did
quake
in
horrour
of
so
great
violence
wrongfully
offered
to
him
,
and
méekely
suffered
for
you
:
So
our
heartes
and
consciences
may
quake
and
tremble
,
considered
that
an
innocent
person
hath
endured
the
same
to
spare
our
guilty
and
damned
soules
.
To
him
therefore
,
which
hath
so
entirely
oued
vs
,
that
he
hath
not
spared
his
onely
begotten
Sonne
to
saue
vs
:
and
to
him
which
hath
so
dearely
bought
vs
,
that
hee
hath
layde
downe
his
life
to
redeeme
vs
:
and
to
him
that
hath
so
wonderfully
purged
and
sanctified
vs
through
the
Lauer
of
regeneration
,
that
hee
hath
thereby
sealed
vs
vntill
the
day
of
Redemption
:
id
est
,
to
God
the
Father
,
God
the
Sonne
,
and
God
the
holy
Ghost
three
distict
persons
and
one
euerlasting
God
,
bee
al
praise
,
power
and
dominion
,
world
without
end
.
Amen
.
