CERTAINE
Very
notable
,
profitable
and
comfortable
Similies
,
briefly
collected
,
wherein
the
lothsome
foulnes
of
many
vices
,
and
the
amiable
beautie
,
of
many
and
sur●…e
vertues
,
that
the
Reader
may
loath
the
one
,
and
loue
the
other
,
are
plainly
expressed
.
EVen
as
a
shepheard
,
séeking
a
lost
shéepe
,
And
although
the
wicked
and
vngodly
ones
of
this
world
,
do
despise
the
cries
and
callings
of
Christ
,
as
he
himselfe
affirmeth
,
saying
:
I
haue
called
,
and
ye
haue
refused
,
I
haue
stretched
foorth
Wilt
thou
know
whose
shéepe
thou
art
,
then
consider
well
whose
whistle
thou
dost
follow
.
For
Christ
doth
say
:
My
shéepe
SKilful
and
cunning
Physitions
,
are
woont
somtimes
,
when

they

which
by
reason
of
the
blearednes
of
their
eies
,
AS
the
soule
in
the
body
,
doth
giue
to
all
the
members
,
moouing
AS
they
which
do
dissolue
and
marre
the
picture
of
a
king
,
very
EVen
as
the
raine
watereth
the
fields
,
and
maketh
them
AS
he
that
entreth
into
a
faire

and
goodly
goldsmithes
shop
,
AS
one
candle
cannot
light

if
it selfe
be
put
out
:
So
a
And
yet
I
know
,
it
is
possible
,
if
it
please
God
,
that
by
a
wicked
and
vngodly
man
,
sinners
may
be
conuerted
,
and
brought
to
repentance
.
FOr
euen
as
a
godly
maister
,
somtime
giueth
a
good
almes
,
Yet
neuertheles
,
I
do
exhort
all
the
ministers
,
and
preachers
The
tongs
and
the
snuffers
,
which
were
in
Salomons
Temple
,
AS
he
which
hoordeth
vp
,
and
hideth
his
wheate
,
that
it
may
He
that
kéepeth
close
,
and
hideth
his
corn
(
saith
Salomon
)
shal
EVen
as
Perillus
that
skilfull
workman
of
Athens
,
that
he
Phalarides
,
a
most
sauage
tyrant
,
and
void
of
all
humanitie
,
with
the
lamentable
shrikes
and
intolerable
tortures
and
torments
of
men
,
he
himselfe
first
by
experience
,
tried
the
paine
and
smart
thereof
,
and
imbrewed
in
his
owne
blood
,
that
famous
and
curious
péece
of
worke
,
which
he
had
deuised
to
torment
others
withall
:
Right
so
,
wicked
and
cruell
counsell
,
many
times
redoundeth
vpon
the
heads
of
the
authors
of
the
same
:
according
to
that
of
the
Psalmist
:
He
spred
his
net
,
he
digged
déepe
,
and
fell
himselfe
,
into
the
Wicked
Haman
was
hanged
himselfe
,
vpon
the
gallowes
,
AS
a
field
,
although
it
be
fertile
,
without
tillage
cannot
be
AS
the
sea
(
especially
that
,
which
is
called
Mare
mediterraneum
)
Therefore
,
it
was
woorthily
obserued
and
said
,
of
wise
men
in
times
past
,
That
the
people
is
the
shadow
of
the
prince
.
A
king
or
prince
giuen
to
iniquitie
,
with
his
sin
killeth
himselfe
,
and
with
his
example
many
others
,
bicause
he
hath
many
followers
.
For
we
do
sée
,
that
whatsoeuer
alteration
and
change
of
maners
,
shall
be
in
princes
,
the
same
is
woont
to
follow
in
the
people
:
for
princes
do
not
onely
conceiue
vertues
or
vices
themselues
,
but
also
,
they
do
as
it
were
powre
them
,
into
the
citie
and
countrie
where
they
raigne
and
rule
.
EVen
as
a
brooke
doth
follow
the
nature
of
the
fountaine
,
Herod
the
king
was
troubled
,
and
all
Ierusalem
with
him
.
Whiles
he
raigned
,
impietie
ruled
,
good
lawes
were
nothing
set
by
,
iustice
and
iudgement
lay
dead
,
ancient
and
laudable
customs
were
banished
,
there
was
no
rest
,
no
peace
,
which
is
the
end
of
godly
gouernment
.
For
,
to
that
end
are
gouernors
ordained
,
that
people
may
liue
in
peace
.
The
worke
of
iustice
,
shall
be

.
Iustice
and
peace

haue
kissed

There
shall
arise
in

and

And
Salomon
making
his
praiers
vnto
God
,
hath
these
words
:
Better

Better

:

in
neuer
so
good
measure
and
modestie
,
which
can
eschew
the
gnarling
and
gnawing
téeth
of
enuie

One
demanded
of
a
learned
man
,
how
he
might
auoid
enuious
persons
:
If
(
saith
he
)
thou
shalt
haue
no
excellent
thing
in
thée
,
and
shalt
do
nothing
fortunately
.
Enuie
is
alway
vertues
companion
,
and
is
euer
at
the
héeles
of
them
,
which
in
honestie
,
vertue
,
and
godlines
go
beyond
others
.
Miserie
onely
admitteth
no
enuie
.
EVen
as
the
inferiour
planet
,
shadoweth
and
ecclipseth
the
AS
rustinesse
consumeth
iron

so
enuie
consumeth
the
enuious
Bernard
,
do
compare
an
enuious
person
with
a
viper
,
for
as
she
conceiueth
hir
yoong
one
,
which
(
as
they
report
)
is
brought
foorth
,
with
the
breaking
of
the
belly
of
hirdam
,
and
vtterly
killing
hir
bréeder
:
So
the
enuious
man
conceiueth
that
enuie
,
which
gnaweth
and
teareth
in
péeces
himselfe
,
and
worketh
his
owne
ruine
,
and
vtter
destruction
.
ENuie
is
a
picture
,
or
a
resemblance
of

it

We
are
taught
in
the
booke
of
Wisedome
,
AS
a

made
of

So
the

that

should
not
go
downe
into
Egypt
for
refuge
,
and
doth
denounce
the
destruction
of
those
that
would
flie
thither
,
in
these
words
:
We
be
to
them

EVen
as
learned

skilfull
physitions

with
the
bitter

be
willingly

to

to

at
some
cost
to
maintaine
preachers
,
and
all
is
(
in
many
)
but
méere
hypocrisie
,
to
please
their
owne
humors
,
with
some
strange
and
new
matter
,
with
some
Logike
,
Rethorike
,
and
brauerie
of
words
,
which
they
looke
for
,
without
any
purpose
,
to
frame
their

,
after
such
doctrine
as
the
preacher
deliuereth

Antimachus

is
well
woorth

remembring

who

when
he
read
his
booke
to
all
his
schollers
called
togither
,
and
all
(
sauing
Plato
)
forsooke
him
,
before
he
had
ended
his
reading
:
I
will
(
saith
he
)
go
forward
,
and
reade
on
,
for
Plato
is
to
me
,
as
much
as
all
the
rest

AS
physitions
do
oftentimes
cut
off

nor

leaning

trusting
to
his
owne

before
he
receiued

pearce
into
Gods

but
comming
far
short
of

wandred
in

error

occupied

on
the
other

thou
shalt

that
saying

may
very
well
be
applied
:
Ye
shall
serue

will
giue
you

The
old
philosophers
,
purposing

describe
aua●ice
,
or
couetousnes
,
did
faine
,
that
one
Tantalus
in

,
was
gréeuously
tormented
with
thirstines
and
drought
,
in
the
middest

of
waters
:
signifying
thereby
,
that
couetousnes
is
a
very
swallowing
gulfe
,
and
an
insaciable
hel
,
where
couetous
men
euen
burning
with
a
loue
of
riches
,
do
most
earnestly
couet
,
and
gréedily
run
after
those
things
,
wherof
they
haue
great

vnspeakable
abundance
.
And
the
more
they
haue
,
the
more
are
they
tormented

with
an
vnquenchable
thirst
,
and
an
hote
burning
desire
,
still
to
haue
more
and

In
my
opinion
,
if

man

were
so
mightily

Therefore
the

spake

saide
:

So

be

:
Mercie

do

Hir

speaketh

When

saith
he
)
I
did
rule

gouerne
many
nations
,
and
had
brought
the
whole

vnder
INgratitude
is
a
thing
,
that
the
Lord
could
neuer
abide
.
It
is
Elizabeth
,
by
his
owne
grace
,
Quéene
of
England
,
to
deliuer
our
countrie
from
no
lesse
bondage
,
thraldome
and
seruitude
,
than
he
did
the
Israelites
by
Moses
and
Aaron
:
and
yet
we
finde
to
too
manie
,
that
haue
béen
bred
in
England
,
and
owe
their
liues
to
hir
highnes
,
to
murmure
no
lesse
against
hir
happines
,
than
the
Israelites
did
against
the
lords
seruants
Moses
and
Aaron
.
The
seruitude
and
slauerie
of
the
Israelites
,
was
not
greater
,
nor
woorse
vnder
Pharao
that
tyrant
in
Egypt
,
than
the
bondage
of
England
was
vnder
the
Pope
,
neither
ought
we
to
be
lesse
thankfull
,
for
our
deliuerie
from
the
slauerie
of
Rome
,
than
they
should
haue
béen
,
if
they
had
well
remembred
themselues
,
from
the
slauerie
of

We

they

are
of
a

,
can
ouercome

their
enimies
,
but
their
enuy
they
can
neuer
ouercome

for
it
will
not

nor

It
is
a
fire
,
that
consumeth
the
harts
of
them
,
whom
it
possesseth
,
with
a

Salomon
his
counsell
is
,
that
thou
eate
not

And
the

willeth
Quintus
Curtius
in

De

reporteth
,
that
Alexander
was
woont
to
say
,
that
enuious
men
are
nothing
else
,
but
torments
and
tormentors
of
their
owne
selues

Chrysostom
calleth
enuie
an
vnquenchable
fire

And
Isidore
saith
,
that
it
doth
deuoure
all
good
things
in

with
a
most
pestilent
burning
heate
.
And
in
my
opinion
,
it
is
a
very
image
of
hell
,
that
tormenteth
without
profite
or
pleasure
.
A

EVen
as

which

the

And

AS
the

BRasse
is
a
mettle
of
red
colour
,
&
hath
a
certaine
likenes
of
Chaos
,
and
confused
heape
of
all
wickednes
and
abhomination
.
Such
men
when
they
séeme
best
,
are
then
woorst
:
For
of
all
improbitie
,
there
is
none
more
pernicious
,
then
that
of
theirs
,
which
when
they
are
most
bent
to
deceiue
,
they
handle
the
matter
so
,
that
they
may
séeme
to
be
honest
,
vertuous
and
godly
men
.
As
for
example
:
If
thou
méetest
with
a
théefe
,
and
talkest
with
him
of
honesty
,
he
will
saie
as
thou
saiest
,
but
shortly
after
,
he
will
rob
thée
,
binde
thée
hand
and
foote
,
and
perhaps
kill
thée
.
And
if
necessitie
constraine
thée
,
to
borrow
money
of
the
couetous
cormorant
,
and
miserable
vsurer
,
thou
shalt
heare
come
out
of
his
mouth
,
words
as
smooth
as
oyle
,
wherewith
he
will
so
insinuate
himselfe
,
and
créepe
into
thy
secrets
,
that
thou
wouldest
thinke
him
to
be
a
very
saint
,
&
a
man
of
God
:
But
when
he
hath
sounded
thée
to
the
depth
,
and
perceiueth
that
thou
hast
an
house
,
a
lease
,
good
furniture
,
some
land
,
plate
,
or
other
commoditie
,
then
he
wil
tel
thée
,
that
he
would
faine
do
thée
good
,
and
helpe
thée
,
but
the
world
is
dangerous
,
and
that
a
birde
in
his
hand
is
better
then
two
in
the
wood
,
and
his
money
is
his
plough
,
and
that
he
must
liue
vpon
it
,
as
the
husbandman
liueth
vpon
his
plough
.
And
by
these
meanes
will
he
draw
from
thée
an
offer
,
of
thy
house
,
lease
,
lande
,
plate
,
horse
,
cowe
,
or
the
bed
thou
liest
vpon
:
And
on
any
of
these
things
,
he
will
lende
thée
,
about
the
fourth
or
fift
part
of
their
valure
.
But
there
was
neuer
théefe
,
nor
traitour
,
more
surely
bounde
,
to
be
executed
,
and
to
lose
his
life
,
then
he
will
make
sure
worke
,
and
binde
thée
to
thy
owne
consumption
and
vtter
vndooing
,
in
body
,
goods
,
and
name
.
Indéed
his
money
is
his
plough
,
and
the
vsurer
himselfe
,
is
the
horse
that
doth
drawe
it
,
and
tyrannicall
couetousnes
doth
holde
it
,
and
the
diuell
himselfe
doth
driue
it
,
and
thou
poore
borrower
art
the
land
they
plow
vpon
,
&
amongst
them
,
they
make
long
and
déepe
furrowes
,
of
extréeme
pouertie
,
and
miserie
to
thée
,
and
of
their
owne
euerlasting
destruction
.
For
the
driuer
will
neuer
giue
ouer
,
till
he
driue
the
plough
,
horse
,
and
holder
,
all
into
hell
.
And
yet
some
body
will
say
,
that
the
vsurer
is
an
honest
man
,
and
doth
helpe
many
.
His
honestie
is
like
a
very
bitter
and
pinching
blacke
frost
,
to
tender
,
swéete
,
pleasant
and
beautifull
blossomes
:
The
frost
doth
kill
and
destroy
the
blossomes
,
and
the
vsurer
doth
kill
men
,
women
,
and
children
.
And
the
helpe
,
that
the
poore
borrower
,
hath
at
his
hand
:
is
like
that
succour
,
that
a
poore
shéepe
hath
vnder
a
thorne
bush
,
in
some
storme
or
tempest
:
the
séelie
shéepe
is
sheltred
there
,
and
kept
from
the
smart
of
the
tempest
a
little
while
,
but
when
she
departeth
from
the
bush
,
it
kéepeth
backe
a
péece
of
hir
fleece
,
and
the
oftner
she
goeth
,
the
barer
and
nakeder
she
is
:
So
that
at
the
length
,
she
is
able
neither
to
abide
bush
nor
storme
.
Such
a
bu●h
of
thornes
is
the
vsurer
,
to
the
poore
borrower
,
he
will
leaue
him
at
the
length
,
no
fléece
on
his
backe
:
he
will
leaue
him
no
house
ouer
his
head
,
vnlesse
it
be
some
prison
house
to
die
in
,
no
bed
to
rest
vpon
,
no
flesh
on
his
bones
,
no
credite
in
the
worlde
.
I
cannot
finde
in
my
hart
to
eate
and
drinke
with
an
vsurer
at
his
owne
table
,
if
I
know
him
,
bicause
his
meate
and
drinke
séemeth
to
me
,
to
be
the
very
flesh
and
blood
,
of
poore
honest
men
,
their
wiues
,
and
children
.
Yet
this
thing
I
note
in
that
bush
,
that
pincheth
,
and
pilleth
the
poore
shéepe
,
that
it
neuer
thriueth
nor
prooueth
good
timber
,
but
serueth
onely
for
the
fire
:
So
the
vsurer
serueth
for
nothing
but
hell
,
and
howsoeuer
hée
thriueth
héere
,
he
shall
be
surely
pinched
there
.
It
were
well
(
in
my
opinion
)
if
vsurers
were
censured
now
in
our
daies
,
as
they
were
in
times
past
:
in
those
daies
they
were
neuer
called
to
any
office
,
in
the
church
,
nor
common
wealth
:
For
what
right
,
iustice
,
or
equitie
,
could
be
looked
for
at
their
hands
,
which
were
most
vnnaturall
,
and
cruell
oppressors
of
their
brethren
?
The
poore
would
take
no
reléefe
at
their
hands
,
bicause
they
knewe
the
curse
of
God
,
did
follow
them
,
and
that
they
had
:
neither
durst
they
eate
the
flesh
,
and
drinke
the
blood
of
their
poore
brethren
,
whose
marrow
the
vsurer
had
pickt
out
of
their
bones
.
Againe
,
they
were
neuer
admitted
to
receiue
the
sacrament
of
the
body
and
blood
of
Christ
Iesus
,
for
what
society
or
fellowship
could
be
betwéene
light
&
darknes
,
Christ
and
Beliall
,
God
,
and
the
diuell
?
And
when
they
were
dead
,
they
were
not
buried
like
christian
men
,
but
throwen
out
like
dead
dogs
,
and
rotten
carrions
,
and
if
they
did
couer
them
,
it
was
in
diches
and
filthy
places
,
least
the
stinch
of
them
,
shuld
infect
and
poison
the
aire
,
and
they
should
kill
men
euen
being
dead
,
as
they
vsed
to
do
when
they
liued
,
if
they
were
censured
now
a
daies
,
as
they
were
then
,
we
should
haue
fewer
vsurers
,
and
m●
rich
men
.
And
yet
these
men
are
called
of
some
,
the
golden
ones
of
the
worlde
.
Indéede
they
haue
golden
purses
,
but
brasen
faces
,
they
haue
soft
words
,
but
bloodie
minds
,
and
harts
harder
then
the
adamant
.
These
are
the
caterpillers
,
not
of
Egypt
,
but
of
England
,
that
discomfort
not
Pharao
,
that
tyrant
and
enimie
of
God
,
but
the
Lords
seruants
and
déere
children
.
These
flie
not
abroad
,
at
the
commandement
of
God
,
to
plague
his
enimies
,
but
at
the
pleasure
of
the
diuell
,
to
annoy
Gods
friends
.
These
are
not
contented
to
eate
vp
and
to
destroy
corne
,
grasse
,
blossomes
,
leaues
,
and
all
fruit
besides
,
neither
will
the
flesh
of
beasts
,
and
foules
,
and
birds
of
all
sorts
,
serue
them
to
eate
,
but
they
must
and
wil
eat
,
mans
flesh
whiles
he
is
aliue
.
For
,
to
consume
a
man
in
goodes
and
credit
,
with
vsurie
,
what
is
it
else
,
but
to
eate
his
flesh
,
and
to
drinke
his
blood
?
and
with
sorrow
to
pricke
and
wound
his
hart
,
what
is
it
but
to
kill
him
?
Of
all
the
murtherers
in
this
world
(
except
those
,
which
with
false
,
hereticall
,
and
diuellish
doctrine
,
do
murther
soules
)
there
is
none
more
cruell
,
mercilesse
,
nor
more
bloodie
,
than
the
vsurer
.
For
he
is
not
satisfied
,
with
the
blood
of
men
and
women
,
but
he
will
haue
the
blood
of
yoong
children
,
and
infants
also
.
For
he
that
cutteth
downe
a
trée
by
the
rootes
,
doth
he
not
withall
cut
downe
,
the
boughes
,
twigs
,
and
branches
?
and
he
that
consumeth
,
vtterly
vndooeth
,
and
with
sorrow
drieth
vp
the
marow
in
the
bones
of
parents
,
to
the
shortening
of
their
daies
,
doth
he
not
euen
destroy
their
poore
swéete
infants
also
?
Praise
and
commend
them
,
who

they
are

whose
praise
is
short

The
caterpillers
of
Egypt
,
were
surely
tethered
,
and
harmed
no

but
these
caterpillers
,
wil
sit
at

in

like

Touching

it

that

greatly
of
the
law
,
but
they

True
vertue
among

,
is
that
a

leade
a

equall

Iames
saith

so

All

whatsoeuer
they
would
seeme

do
so
far
differ
from
true
christianitie

as
the
froth

being

full

in

,
and
lifted
vp

by

Then

in
the
wrinkles
of
their
hypocrisie

deceit

that
it
could
not

then
do

crueltie
,
which
they
had
long
couered
with
a
goodly
mantle
and
faire
cloke
of

It
is
the
Lords
manner

to
cast
downe
and
to
bring
lowe

all
such
proude
,
vaine

forgetfull

persons

to

Of

take

The
diuel
fisheth
with
a
hooke
,
and
doth
catch
many

then
Christ
doth
take
,
the
reason
is
,
bicause
his

is
swéeter
,
and
more
pleasant
to
mans
appetite
,
and
doth
better
agrée
with
the
depraued
will

gracelesse
disposition
of

then
that
baite
which
Christ
vseth

The

is
voluptuousnes

Amen

SAthan
is
a
subtle
fisher
,
and
vseth
great
cunning
in
the
casting
Herode
,
to
pretend
in
words
the
worshipping
of
Christ
,
when
he
intended
in
his
hart
to
kill
him
:
And
Pilate
to
confesse
Christs
innocencie
,
and
yet
against
his
owne
conscience
,
to
giue
sentence
of
death
against
him
:
And
Iudas
to
kisse
Christ
,
as
though
he
loued
him
,
and
euen
then
to

him
:
These
and
many

,
notwithstanding
their
painted

golden

were
fast

THere
is
a
sea
,
called
the
dead
sea
,
which
is
a
lake
in
Iudea
,
Aristotle
,
Pliny
,
Iustine
,
and
diuers
others
do
make
mention
.
There
is
neither
fish
,
nor
any
liuing
creature
found
in
it
,
whereupon
it
hath
the
name
dead
.
Further
,
in
it
nothing
is
couered
,
neither
doth
any
thing
that
is
in
it
,
sinke
to
the
bottome
thereof
,
but
all
things
do
swim
,
and
are
in
sight
,
and
do
continue
in
the
top
of
the
water
.
For
which
cause
,
they
are
compared
vnto
it
,
that
will
kéepe
no
counsell
,
nor
secrets
whatsoeuer
,
but
will
reueale
,
and
bewraie
all
things
that
they
know
whether
they
be
good
or
bad
.
It
is
a
mightie
great
lake
,
and
is
neuer
troubled
,
with
anie
waues
,
stormes
,
or
tempests
,
but
is
euer
quiet
:
And
therefore
,
they
are
compared
with
it
,
that
lead
their
liues
in
tranquillitie
,
peace
and
quietnes
,
and
are
neuer
pressed
,
nor
broken
with
any
calamities
,
nor
tossed
and
troubled
,
with
any
sorrowes
or
miseries
in
the
worlde
,
but
are
euer
at
harts
ease
,
and
liue
as
they
list
.
The
water
of
this
dead
sea
,
is
reported
to
be
excéeding
bitter
,
for
the
swéete
riuer
Iordan
running
into
it
,
(
as
some
do
write
)
it
doth
vtterly
lose
the
swéetnes
thereof
,
and
is
made
very
bitter
also
.
Euen

Hypanis

,
did
rise
from
his
hart
,
before
he
came
to
the
crosse
,
and
let
him
rip
vp
his
passion
stitch
by
stitch
,
as
the
holy
booke
,
and
diuine
word
,
shall
direct
and
leade
him
,
and
let
him
particularly
shew
,
how
,
and
where
he
was
wounded
,
that
he
was
beaten
,
spit
vpon
,
crowned
with
thornes
,
nailed
hand
and
foote
to
the
crosse
,
scorned
and
mocked
of
the
Iewes
,
and
let
him
shew
most
liuely
,
the
wicked
and
cruell
Iewes
imbrewing
their
hands
in
his
blood
,
&
giuing
him
vineger
and
gall
to
drinke
:
and
who
for
all
this
will
shed
one
teare
,
giue
one
grone
,
or
sigh
once
from
the
bottome
of
his
hart
?
yea
let
the
preacher
declare
and
prooue
,
that
,
besides
the
death
and
passion
of
his
bodie
,
he
suffered
in
his
soule
,
the
heauie
wrath
and
indignation
of
his
father
,
and
the
extreme
tortures
and
torments
of
hell
,
for
a
time
,
no
lesse
than
the
reprobates
,
that
be
there
alreadie
,
and
no
lesse
then
,
all
we
,
by
iust
desert
,
should
haue
suffered
for
euer
,
if
Christ
had
not
done
it
for
vs
:
And
who
for
al
this
,
will
driue
out
of
the
citie
,
not
Cassius
and
Brutus
,
that
killed
Caesar
,
but
those
horrible
,
abhominable
,
and
most
damnable
sins
,
for
the
which
Christ
was
slaine
?
For
so
saith
the
scripture
:
He
(
saith
the
prophet
,
meaning
Christ
)
was
wounded
for
our
iniquities
.
Marcus
Antoninus
was
more
beholding
to
the
Romanes
,
which
were
so
readie
at
one
oration
,
to
purge
and
cléere
the
citie
,
of
homicides
and
murthers
,
than
a
great
number
of
faithfull
preachers
of
Christ
be
now
,
to
infinite
thousands
of
their
auditors
,
which
are
so
far
from
abandoning
and
thrusting
out
of
cities
and
towns
,
euen
grosse
,
vile
,
and
most
lothsome
sinnes
,
that
in
their
owne
priuate
houses
,
yea
euen
in
their
owne
bosoms
and
bodies
,
they
harbour
,
nourish
,
and
maintaine
them
:
although
they
heare
euery
day
,
the
heauie
iudgements
,
and
destroying
wrath
of
God
,
denounced
against
them
,
not
with
a
generall
houering
ouer
their
heads
,
at
al
aduentures
,
as
though
no
body
were
spoken
to
,
but
euen
with
a
particular
▪
toutching
,
and
as
it
were
an
vnlacing
of
euery
sinne
in
it
kind
,
to
lay
open
the
stinch
and
abhomination
of
the
same
,
that
men
might
(
if
they
had
grace
)
be
ashamed
,
and
afeard
,
to
staine
and
to
blemish
themselues
with
such
things
,
as
the
Lord
vpon
paine
of
condemnation
,
hath
inhibited
and
forbidden
:
and
yet
all
will
not
serue
.
No
man
,
that
will
beleeue
the
holy
scripture
,
can
be
ignorant
of
this
,
that
the
almightie
,
did
,
with
the
heauie
hand
of
his
Adam
,
was
expulsed
,
and
thrust
out
of
paradise
,
Caine
,
for
killing
his
brother
:
Pharao
,
his
chariots
,
and
horsemen
,
in
the
red
sea
:
&
dulie
examining
,
what
sin
that
might
be
,
wherewith
God
was
prouoked
,
to
i●flict
that
heauy
iudgement
vpon
him
,
and
shouldest
haue
found
the
selfe
same
sinne
,
to
be
in
thy selfe
,
and
euen
highly
to
please
and
delight
thée
,
wouldest
thou
not
haue
trembled
and
feared
,
least
the
same
God
,
with
whom
there
is
no
respect
of
persons
,
which
punished
that
sinne
in
Pharao
,
would
not
spare
,
or
fauour
it
,
but
euen
most
sharply
punish
it
in
thée
also
?
Or
if
thou
haddest
séene
with
thy
bodilie
eies
,
some
of
the
grudging
,
and
murmuring
Israelites
,
stoong
to
death
with
ve●emous
Ananias
,
and
Saphyra
his
wife
,
for
their
hypocrisie
,
dissimulation
,
and
Ionas
,
that
had
no
true
knowledge
of
God
,
nor
any
vnderstanding
,
how
to
honor
and
to
worship
him
aright
,
yea
they
knew
nothing
but
Paganisme
,
and
idolatrie
,
may
make
vs
greatly
ashamed
:
for
they
hauing
,
but
a
very
little
familiaritie
,
and
conference
with
the
prophet
,
did
become
very
good
and
true
