THE
CITIE
OF
PEACE
.
PEACE
is
the
Daughter
of
Righteousnes
,
and
the
moher
of
knowledge
,
the
nurse
of
Arts
,
and
the
improuement
of
all
blessings
.
It
is
delectable
to
al
that
taste
it
,
profitable
to
them
that
practise
it
;
to
them
that
look
vpon
it
,
amiable
;
to
them
that
enioy
it
,
a
benefit
inualuable
.
The
building
of
Christianity
knows
no
other
materials
:
if
we
looke
vpon
the
Church
it self
,
There
is
one
body
:
if
vpon
the
very
soule
of
it
,
There
is
one
Spirit
:
if
vpon
the
endowment
of
it
,
There
is
one
Hope
:
if
vpon
the
head
of
it
,
There
is
one
Lord
:
if
vpon
the
life
of
it
,
There
is
one
Faith
:
if
vpon
the
doore
of
it
,
There
is
one
Baptisme
:
if
vpon
the
Father
of
it
,
There
is
one
God
,
and
Father
of
all
.
Peace
is
a
faire
Virgin
,
euery
ones
Loue
,
Liue
in
Peace
,
and
the
God
of
Loue
and
Peace
shall
bee
with
you
.
Which
conclusion
of
the
Epistle
containes
the
blessing
of
the
Apostle
'
:
a
Valediction
,
and
a
Benediction
.
They
are
in
part
Hortatory
,
in
part
Consolatory
:
the
vertue
to
which
he
perswades
them
,
and
the
reward
which
hee
promiseth
them
.
There
is
a
sweet
symphony
,
and
respondent
proposition
betweene
the
Counsell
and
the
Comfort
;
the
Actiue
Peace
,
and
the
Factiue
Peace
:
for
seeking
peace
on
Earth
,
we
shall
find
peace
in
Heauen
:
for
keeping
the
peace
of
God
,
wee
shall
bee
kept
by
the
God
of
peace
.
The
one
is
the
regular
Compasse
of
our
life
on
Earth
,
the
other
is
the
glorious
Crowne
of
our
life
in
Heauen
.
That
wee
may
not
cherish
too
weake
an
opinion
of
this
duty
,
wee
must
know
,
that
this
Apostolicall
counsel
is
an
Euangelicall
law
;
Liue
in
Peace
:
there
are
in
it
all
the
concurring
qualities
,
that
define
a
good
law
;
as
Lycurgus
taught
:
Generalitas
,
Bonitas
,
Possibilitas
.
It
must
be
Generall
,
Good
,
Possible
.
Generall
,
so
that
all
be
tied
to
the
obedience
of
it
.
Else
it
were
like
Anacharsis
law
,
a
cobweb
to
catch
flies
:
or
those
tyranous
censures
,
which
are
made
to
vex
Doues
,
while
they
are
indulgent
to
Buzzards
.
It
must
be
Good
,
for
none
are
bound
to
the
obedience
of
vniust
things
.
If
it
haue
an
indifferent
extent
to
good
or
bad
,
there
is
easily
found
some
colour
of
euasion
.
It
must
bee
Possible
;
for
if
things
be
imposed
vltra
posse
,
and
so
men
be
made
lyable
to
the
mulct
,
when
they
are
not
culpable
of
the
guilt
;
they
may
obiect
that
Naturae
dictamen
.
Nemo
tenetur
ad
impossibile
:
none
are
to
be
tyed
to
the
obedience
of
impossible
things
.
Such
are
Tyrants
Lawes
;
not
vincula
,
sed
retia
:
not
limits
to
confine
,
but
netts
to
ensnare
:
not
Pales
,
but
Toiles
.
But
the
Law
of
Peace
is
General
,
If
it
be
possible
,
as
much
as
lyeth
in
you
;
liue
peaceably
with
all
men
.
For
there
are
some
cases
in
which
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
it
is
not
possible
.
What
communion
hath
light
with
darkenesse
!
and
what
concord
hath
Christ
with
Belial
!
Wee
must
haue
no
peace
with
it
,
if
there
be
no
grace
in
it
.
Blessed
is
hee
that
walketh
not
in
the
counsell
of
the
vngodly
,
&c.
Forbeare
not
only
to
sit
in
the
Chaire
of
pestilence
with
them
,
which
is
Sinne
raigning
:
Sinne
delighting
:
yea
euen
to
walke
a
turne
with
them
,
which
is
Sinne
entring
:
teaching
vs
to
shunne
the
very
acquaintance
of
their
counsels
.
But
wicked
men
cannot
be
auoided
;
Dilige
errantem
,
interfice
errorem
:
kill
the
error
,
preserue
thy
brother
.
Doth
hee
offend
of
frailty
?
Bee
at
peace
(
cum
hominibus
,
non
cummoribus
)
with
the
man
,
not
with
the
manners
.
Trespasseth
hee
of
malice
?
Hate
(
vitium
,
not
virum
)
the
disease
,
not
the
patient
.
Howsoeuer
these
infirmities
are
ineuitable
,
still
wee
may
haue
Peace
,
Cum
malis
,
licet
non
in
malis
:
with
euill
men
,
though
not
in
euill
matters
.
Indeede
let
him
that
hath
anthority
,
correct
malicious
offences
:
for
that
is
not
like
a
rauisher
to
abuse
,
but
like
a
Champion
to
vindicate
the
honour
of
peace
.
Yet
still
Cum
corrigat
malitiam
,
diligat
personam
;
let
him
correct
the
transgression
,
loue
the
person
.
But
how
shall
we
answere
that
of
the
Psalmist
?
Be
not
mercifull
to
them
that
sinne
of
malitious
wickednesse
.
This
was
not
Precantis
votum
,
sed
Prophetantis
vaticinium
:
not
the
request
of
a
Petitioner
,
but
the
prediction
of
a
Prophecier
.
Hee
did
not
wish
it
should
be
so
,
but
saw
it
would
be
so
.
But
if
all
this
be
true
,
wee
may
then
admit
peace
with
Rome
?
Wee
doe
accept
a
Ciuill
,
not
a
Religious
peace
.
In
a
treatise
of
pacification
,
both
parties
must
yeeld
somwhat
:
but
nothing
is
to
be
yeelded
that
may
preiudice
the
Truth
.
In
a
Musicall
Instrument
the
strings
that
bee
out
of
tune
,
are
set
vp
,
or
set
downe
to
the
rest
:
the
strings
that
be
in
tune
,
are
not
stirred
.
Our
Doctrine
and
Profession
are
tuned
to
the
blessed
Gospell
,
that
infallible
Canon
of
Truth
,
and
therefore
must
not
bee
changed
.
Their
Faith
and
Religion
iarreth
and
erreth
from
that
;
therefore
must
bee
proportioned
to
ours
,
if
they
will
endeuour
a
perfect
Harmony
.
Thus
far
,
Liue
in
peace
.
Caluin
renders
it
,
Pacem
agite
,
Doe
peace
.
Or
,
as
if
God
should
say
to
men
,
whom
he
found
quarrelling
,
or
too
lowd
;
Peace
.
The
word
is
emphaticall
,
and
imitates
a
continual
habite
:
wee
may
call
it
,
The
Exercise
of
peace
,
or
the
Practice
of
peace
.
Some
haue
a
good
mind
to
peace
,
To
recouer
,
Citie
of
Peace
.
And
so
much
we
will
pray
for
it
;
that
it
may
preserue
peace
,
and
peace
may
preserue
it
,
to
the
worlds
end
.
Let
the
walles
of
this
Citie
be
Vnitie
and
Concord
.
Let
her
haue
foure
Gates
;
Innocence
,
and
Patience
;
Benefaction
,
and
Satisfaction
.
The
first
gate
of
peace
is
Innocence
;
she
must
doe
no
wrong
.
The
second
is
Patience
;
she
must
suffer
wrong
.
The
third
is
Beneficence
;
she
must
doe
good
in
stead
of
wrong
.
The
fourth
is
Recompence
;
she
must
make
liberall
and
iust
satisfaction
for
any
committed
wrong
.
There
is
also
a
Posterne
Gate
,
and
that
is
Humility
.
A
gate
indeed
,
but
a
small
and
low
one
;
whosoeuer
enters
the
Citie
of
peace
that
way
,
must
stoop
before
he
get
in
.
The
enemies
of
this
Citie
are
many
;
diuided
into
two
bands
;
Hostilitie
and
Mutinie
The
Gouernour
of
it
,
is
Magistracie
:
the
Law
,
Religion
:
the
Palace
,
the
Temple
:
the
life
of
the
Citizens
is
Loue
.
It
is
serued
by
the
Riuer
of
Prosperitie
;
the
State
of
it
,
is
Felicitie
:
the
Inheritance
,
eternall
Glory
.
The
Wals
of
Peace
.
Are
Vnitie
and
Concord
.
Omnis
Societas
est
corpus
politicum
:
and
it
is
in
a
Citie
,
as
in
a
Bodie
:
there
are
many
members
,
one
body
:
many
Citizens
,
one
Citie
.
Wee
are
all
one
Body
:
haue
enemies
of
our
owne
houshold
.
But
one
Body
,
here
must
be
al
loue
&
peace
.
Where
all
are
tied
by
bonds
,
ioynts
,
&
ligaments
to
the
head
;
there
also
by
the
fame
Nerues
one
to
another
.
Some
members
are
single
;
as
the
tongue
is
one
,
to
speake
one
truth
:
Gemina
,
Germana
;
their
forces
are
doubled
to
supply
mutuall
defects
.
Some
are
stronger
,
as
the
armes
and
leggs
;
for
the
supportation
of
the
weaker
.
Thus
qualified
are
all
the
faithfull
citizens
of
Peace
;
preseruing
an
vnanimitie
in
affection
,
a
sympathy
in
affliction
,
a
ready
helpe
to
the
most
needful
condition
.
Comforting
the
mindes
of
those
that
are
perplexed
,
supplying
the
wants
of
those
that
are
distressed
,
rectifying
the
weaknesse
of
those
that
are
vnsetled
,
informing
the
ignorance
of
those
that
are
seduced
,
and
reforming
the
errors
of
those
that
are
peruerted
:
all
endeauoring
the
deliuerance
of
the
oppressed
.
The
members
prouide
one
for
another
:
There
is
no
enuy
and
grudging
among
the
members
:
Shall
the
Eare
say
,
Because
I
am
not
the
Eye
,
I
am
not
of
the
Body
?
No
,
but
as
Iohn
Baptist
said
of
Christ
▪
He
commeth
after
me
,
yet
is
before
me
:
Some
come
after
vs
in
wealth
,
that
may
goe
before
vs
in
grace
.
The
poore
man
is
not
so
many
pounds
behinde
the
rich
for
this
world
,
as
he
may
be
talents
before
him
for
the
world
to
come
.
They
often
with
their
pouertie
,
miserie
,
ignominy
,
are
saued
;
whiles
others
with
all
their
honour
and
opulencie
goe
to
hell
.
If
one
member
suffer
,
as
if
we
were
in
the
body
.
He
is
no
sonn
of
Peace
,
that
forgets
the
breaking
of
his
brother
Ioseph
.
The
Walls
of
the
Citie
must
bee
whole
,
Pilate
Tradidit
Iesum
volun●a
ti●earum
;
My
Doue
is
but
one
;
the
Doue
is
a
Bird
of
peace
.
Many
of
them
can
agree
louingly
together
in
one
house
:
euery
one
hath
a
litle
cottage
by
her selfe
,
wherein
shee
sits
content
without
disquieting
her
neighbours
.
Thus
Dum
singulae
quaerunt
vnionem
,
omnes
conseruant
vnitatem
.
Wee
haue
them
that
rush
into
others
Tabernacles
,
swallowing
a
man
and
his
heritage
:
would
Doues
doe
thus
?
Poore
Nabaoths
portion
is
many
a
rich
Ahabs
eye-sore
;
would
Doues
doe
thus
?
Numbers
are
still
on
the
wing
,
to
prey
vpon
prostrate
fortunes
;
these
bee
Rauens
,
not
Doues
:
If
the
Law
cannot
make
worke
for
their
malice
,
their
malice
shall
make
worke
for
the
law
.
This
is
like
Cockes
of
the
Game
,
to
pecke
out
one
anothers
eyes
,
to
make
the
Lawyers
sport
.
When
two
friends
are
fallen
out
of
loues
into
blows
,
and
are
fighting
;
a
third
aduersary
hath
a
faire
aduantage
to
kill
them
both
.
We
haue
an
enemy
that
watcheth
his
time
,
and
while
wee
wound
one
another
,
hee
wounds
vs
all
.
If
the
members
bee
pulled
a
sunder
,
The
first
Gate
Is
Innocence
;
Felle
caret
,
she
hath
no
Gall
:
Let
vs
bee
such
Doues
to
purge
our
harts
from
all
bitternesse
.
Now
the
first
shelfe
that
wracks
Innocence
,
is
Anger
.
It
were
rare
if
the
wrath
of
man
should
fulfill
the
righteòusnesse
of
God
:
How
easily
doth
this
rage
often
inueter
at
;
making
some
so
angry
with
men
,
that
they
will
scarse
bee
pleased
with
God
himselfe
!
And
either
he
must
take
them
with
their
anger
,
or
let
them
alone
.
So
soone
it
rankles
into
malice
,
&
that
is
full
opposite
to
Innocence
.
What
shall
a
man
do
?
In
this
sudden
fitt
shall
he
come
to
the
Lords
Table
,
or
forbeare
it
?
Si
non
accesserit
,
periculum
:
Si
accesserit
,
damnum
.
To
refuse
the
Sacrament
in
anger
,
is
euill
:
to
receiue
it
in
anger
,
that
s
worse
.
Is
the
Body
&
Bloud
of
Christ
no
more
worth
,
but
that
for
loue
of
a
peeuish
humour
we
should
neglect
it
?
Shall
we
starue
our
consciences
,
to
feed
our
misbegotten
passions
?
What
is
then
to
be
done
in
this
straight
?
The
answer
is
easie
:
Let
vs
excommunicate
our
wrath
,
that
wee
may
communicate
with
the
Church
:
leaue
our
lusts
behinde
vs
,
and
wee
are
welcome
;
In
a
word
,
let
vs
turne
our
anger
when
it
comes
,
another
way
.
Let
all
our
hate
be
the
hate
of
sin
;
and
all
our
anger
bent
against
our
owne
corruptions
.
Let
our
wrath
,
like
the
Shepheards
dogge
,
sleepe
till
the
Wolfe
comes
.
Be
we
at
peace
with
God
by
repentance
,
with
our
neighbour
by
innocence
,
with
our
owne
heart
by
a
purified
and
pacified
conscience
;
and
the
Prince
of
peace
,
the
Lord
Iesus
shall
embrace
vs
.
The
second
Gate
Is
Patience
;
Suffers
all
things
;
Pro
fratribus
,
a
fratribus
,
propter
fratres
.
For
our
brethren
wee
must
sustaine
some
losse
:
hee
that
suffers
not
an
abatement
of
his
owne
fulnesse
,
to
supply
their
emptinesse
,
is
no
brother
.
Of
our
brethren
wee
must
put
vp
some
wrong
,
rather
then
make
a
slaw
in
the
smooth
passage
of
peace
.
Because
of
our
brethren
,
and
for
the
Elects
sake
,
we
must
endure
all
things
,
that
they
may
obtaine
Saluation
.
Let
vs
bee
infirmed
,
to
haue
them
confirmed
:
brooking
a
temporal
losse
,
to
procure
their
eternall
good
.
According
to
the
Apostles
counsell
,
Let
vs
beare
the
burthen
one
of
another
,
Liuing
Stones
,
Christ
is
the
Head
of
the
corner
,
the
Foundation
that
supports
all
.
Gracious
Saints
haue
the
next
places
,
and
are
so
set
that
they
may
helpe
to
beare
vp
the
weaker
.
Materialls
that
bee
onely
of
a
hard
nature
,
will
neuer
fadge
well
in
an
Edifice
.
The
Italians
haue
a
Prouerbe
;
Hard
without
soft
,
the
wal
is
nought
.
Stones
cobbled
vp
together
,
without
morter
to
combine
them
,
make
but
a
tottering
wall
.
But
if
there
be
morter
to
ciment
them
,
and
with
the
tractable
softnesse
of
the
one
to
glew
and
fixe
the
solide
ha●dnesse
of
the
other
;
this
may
fortifie
it
against
the
shocke
of
the
Ramme
,
or
shot
of
the
Canon
.
The
societie
that
consists
of
nothing
but
stones
,
intractable
and
refractory
spirits
,
one
as
froward
and
peruerse
as
an
other
,
soone
dissolues
.
But
when
one
is
reaking
with
the
fire
of
rage
,
and
another
shall
bring
the
water
of
patience
to
coole
and
quench
it
;
here
is
a
duration
of
peace
.
When
yron
meets
yron
,
there
is
a
harsh
and
stubborne
iarre
:
let
wooll
meete
that
rougher
mettal
,
and
this
yeelding
turnes
resistance
into
embracements
.
Let
not
then
the
voice
be
an
eccho
of
ill
words
,
nor
the
hand
a
Racket
to
bandy
back
fire-bals
.
Patience
makes
euen
the
wicked
confesse
;
Thou
art
more
righteous
then
I.
Infoelix
victoria
qua
hominem
superamus
,
Patientia
mea
à
Domino
,
I
die
daily
.
Etsi
non
mortis
experientia
,
Nor
is
Christian
patience
thus
confined
within
the
bearing
of
iniuries
;
but
it
extends
also
to
the
remitting
of
them
.
Some
can
suffer
for
the
present
,
as
Haman
before
Mordecay
,
Animo
vindicandi
.
Forgiuenesse
is
the
demonstration
of
patience
.
Not
to
contest
because
wee
cannot
conquer
,
is
called
Patience
perforce
:
but
can
we
remit
?
The
ciuill
man
can
forbeare
,
the
Christian
must
forgiue
.
Let
vs
bee
remisse
to
note
a
wrong
,
remissiue
to
forget
it
,
writing
all
our
iniuries
in
the
dust
.
Yea
,
let
humilitie
sweetly
order
our
forgiuenes
:
Grauissima
poena
est
contumeliosa
venia
:
a
proud
and
scornfull
pardon
,
is
a
reprochfull
wrong
;
there
is
in
it
more
bitternesse
then
mercie
;
more
punishment
then
reconcilement
.
Otherwise
how
can
we
pray
,
Forgiue
vs
our
trespasses
,
As
wee
forgiue
them
that
trespasse
against
vs
?
O
but
say
some
,
God
is
merciful
:
what
,
shall
wee
therefore
bee
vnmercifull
?
I
may
forgiue
,
but
I
cannot
forget
;
is
the
faint
reseruation
of
another
.
Take
we
heed
,
let
not
vs
be
in
iest
with
God
,
least
hee
be
in
earnest
with
vs
.
Do
we
not
otherwise
beg
a
remouall
of
mercie
and
pardon
from
our
owne
soules
?
Will
not
God
say
,
Euill
seruant
,
Ex
ore
tuo
,
out
of
thy
owne
mouth
wil
I
iudge
thee
?
Hath
Christ
with
his
owne
blood
made
thee
friends
with
God
,
and
cannot
that
blood
intreat
thee
to
bee
friends
with
thy
brother
,
Leaue
there
thy
gift
▪
first
be
reconciled
to
him
,
then
offer
to
God
.
A
gift
doth
pacifie
wrath
,
and
God
is
pleased
with
our
Sacrifice
vpon
his
Altar
:
yet
Cum
omnis
culpa
munere
soluatur
,
sola
iniuria
incondonata
reijcitur
:
when
euery
fault
is
solued
with
a
gift
,
Iniury
alone
is
sent
away
without
pardon
.
Therfore
Qualem
vis
erga
te
esse
Deum
,
talem
te
exhibeas
erga
proximum
:
bee
thou
to
thy
brother
on
earth
,
as
thou
wouldest
haue
thy
Father
in
heauen
bee
to
thee
.
Si
laedens
,
pete
veniam
:
st
laesus
,
da
veniam
.
If
an
iniurer
,
aske
pardon
:
if
a
sufferer
,
giue
pardon
.
Be
we
so
farre
from
expecting
his
submission
,
that
wee
tender
our●●emission
;
and
meet
the
trespasser
with
a
pardon
before
hee
aske
it
.
The
next
Gate
Is
Beneficence
;
Doing
good
,
to
doe
good
to
all
men
;
albeit
with
some
preferment
of
the
best
,
especially
to
the
houshold
of
Faith
.
All
men
may
bee
ranked
vnder
one
of
these
combinations
:
Rich
and
poore
,
home-borne
and
strangers
,
friends
&
enemies
.
First
for
the
rich
and
poore
;
the
Pharisee
wil
stand
on
good
terms
with
the
rich
,
inuite
them
for
a
re-inuitation
as
men
at
Tennisse
,
tosse
the
ball
to
another
,
that
hee
may
tosse
it
to
them
againe
:
but
who
helpes
the
poore
?
Wealth
maketh
many
friends
,
but
the
poore
is
separated
from
his
neighbours
.
If
hee
doe
well
,
he
is
not
regarded
:
if
ill
,
hee
is
destroyed
.
The
poore
man
by
his
wisdome
deliuered
the
citie
from
the
force
of
a
puissant
enemy
;
yet
when
all
was
done
,
no
man
remembred
that
poore
man
.
But
if
hee
stumble
,
they
will
helpe
to
ouerthrowe
him
.
How
contemptibly
doth
a
rich
epicure
look
vpon
a
poore
beggar
!
yet
the
rich
and
the
poore
meete
together
,
and
the
Lord
is
the
maker
of
them
all
.
In
all
our
graund
Feasts
,
the
guestes
that
Christ
spoke
for
,
For
Domestickes
and
strangers
;
many
haue
so
much
religion
as
to
prouide
for
their
owne
;
yea
so
much
irreligion
as
to
do
it
with
the
preiudice
of
the
publicke
good
,
and
hazard
of
their
own
soules
:
but
who
prouides
for
strangers
?
Entertaine
strangers
,
for
thereby
some
haue
entertained
Angels
vnawares
:
but
for
all
this
possible
happinesse
,
few
will
put
it
to
the
venture
:
and
were
they
indeed
Angels
without
angels
in
their
purses
to
pay
for
it
,
they
should
find
cold
entertainment
.
Friends
and
enemies
;
for
friends
,
many
will
be
at
peace
with
them
,
till
they
bee
put
to
the
triall
by
some
expressiue
action
.
And
then
they
will
rather
hazard
the
losse
of
a
friend
,
then
the
lest
losse
by
a
friend
.
But
suppose
we
answere
our
friendes
in
some
slight
courtesie
,
hoping
for
a
greater
:
who
will
doe
good
to
his
enemies
?
If
thine
enemie
hunger
,
feed
him
▪
so
thou
shalt
heape
soales
of
fire
on
his
head
.
Do
it
,
not
with
an
intent
to
make
his
reckoning
more
,
but
thy
owne
reckoning
lesse
.
Loue
your
enemies
,
blesse
them
that
curse
you
,
doe
good
to
them
that
hate
you
,
and
pray
for
them
that
despitefully
vse
you
.
Doe
vnto
them
deeds
of
amitie
,
deeds
of
charitie
,
deeds
of
pietie
.
Of
amitie
,
Loue
them
that
hate
you
:
of
Charitie
,
Doe
good
to
them
that
hurt
you
:
of
Pietie
,
Pray
for
them
that
persecute
you
.
There
is
the
Diligite
of
the
Heart
,
Loue
your
enemies
.
The
Benedicite
of
the
Tongu
,
Blesse
them
that
curse
you
.
The
Benefacite
of
the
Hand
,
Doe
good
to
them
that
hate
you
.
The
Beneuelle
of
all
,
Pray
for
them
that
persecute
you
.
Loue
your
enemies
,
there
is
Affectus
cordis
:
Doe
them
good
,
there
is
Effectus
operis
:
Pray
for
them
,
there
is
Perfectio
charitatis
.
But
the
wiseman
counsels
;
Doe
well
to
him
that
is
lowly
,
but
giue
not
to
the
vngodly
.
And
Giue
vnto
the
good
,
not
to
the
sinner
.
Though
not
Qua
impius
,
and
quia
impiu●
;
yet
qua
homo
;
and
quia
homo
,
wee
must
releeue
him
.
Cherish
himselfe
,
not
his
sinne
.
Wee
must
loue
him
,
non
quoad
culpam
,
sed
quoad
naturam
.
They
are
Gods
children
,
licet
insani
,
although
they
be
sick
;
and
our
brethren
,
licet
infirmi
,
although
they
bee
weake
.
Therefore
for
the
conformitie
of
nature
,
because
we
are
the
same
workmanship
:
for
our
owne
benefite
,
for
hee
that
doth
good
to
his
enemy
,
euen
in
that
doth
better
to
himselfe
:
and
for
the
imitation
of
Him
wee
worship
,
let
vs
vphold
Peace
by
Charitie
.
His
Sunne
rises
,
and
raine
falls
,
both
on
the
iust
and
vniust
.
Noli
negare
,
quod
Deus
nulli
negat
.
Thus
looking
vp
with
pietie
to
the
Lords
perfection
,
and
downe
with
pitie
vpon
mans
imperfection
,
let
vs
doe
good
to
all
.
Through
the
gate
of
Beneficence
,
doth
the
charitable
man
enter
into
the
Citie
of
Peace
.
Hee
that
is
couetous
,
must
needs
be
mutinous
.
He
that
is
greedy
of
gaine
,
troubleth
his
owne
house
Salomon
cals
him
a
trouble-house
,
and
wee
doe
find
him
a
trouble-citie
;
as
Demetrius
did
all
Ephesus
.
But
Charitie
makes
peace
;
Diuitem
voluit
Deus
vt
pauperem
adiuvaret
,
Pauperem
voluit
vt
diuitem
probaret
.
God
makes
some
rich
,
to
helpe
the
poore
:
and
suffers
some
poore
,
to
try
the
rich
.
The
loaden
would
bee
glad
of
ease
:
now
charitie
lighteneth
the
rich
man
of
his
superfluous
and
vnweldy
cariage
.
When
the
poor
find
mercy
,
they
will
be
tractable
:
when
the
rich
find
quiet
,
they
should
bee
charitable
.
Would
you
haue
your
goods
kept
in
Peace
?
First
,
lock
them
vp
by
your
prayers
,
then
open
them
againe
with
your
thankfull
vse
,
and
trust
them
in
the
hands
of
Christ
by
your
Charitie
.
This
Citie
heares
ill
for
oppression
,
and
is
(
I
feare
too
iustly
)
suspected
of
Iniustice
:
now
the
most
noble
confutation
of
iealousie
,
is
by
deeds
of
charitie
.
This
is
the
East-gate
to
the
Citie
of
Peace
,
and
I
may
(
from
Saint
Paul
)
call
it
the
principall
,
and
most
excllent
way
.
The
fourth
Gate
Is
Recompence
,
or
Satisfaction
;
and
this
we
may
liken
to
Creeple-gate
.
It
is
the
lamest
way
to
peace
,
yet
a
way
:
it
is
a
halting
gate
,
but
a
gate
.
It
were
far
better
comming
into
this
Citie
by
any
of
the
former
gates
,
yet
better
at
this
then
none
.
All
come
not
in
by
Innocence
,
nor
all
by
Patience
,
nor
all
by
Beneficence
:
but
if
they
haue
failed
in
these
,
they
must
be
admitted
by
recompence
,
or
not
at
all
.
The
first
best
is
to
do
no
iniury
;
the
next
is
Satisfaction
,
to
make
amends
for
that
wee
haue
done
.
Hortensins
sayd
of
his
mother
,
Ego
nunquam
cum
ea
inivi
gratiam
,
I
neuer
was
reconciled
to
her
,
because
we
two
neuer
fell
out
.
O
that
the
Inhabitants
of
this
citie
could
say
so
of
their
neighbours
;
Wee
neuer
were
made
friends
,
because
wee
neuer
were
foes
.
The
malady
of
offences
,
will
bee
contracted
,
therefore
the
onely
Cure
is
by
Satisfaction
.
That
wee
may
know
how
to
doe
this
,
the
Scripture
sets
downe
diuers
degrees
in
the
accomplishment
of
this
Satisfaction
for
iniuries
.
First
,
he
must
goe
to
the
party
wronged
.
Secondly
,
He
must
confesse
his
fault
.
Thirdly
,
He
must
humble
himself
.
Fourthly
,
He
must
make
restitution
.
Fiftly
,
Hee
must
reconcile
himselfe
.
Sixtly
,
and
this
must
be
done
quickly
,
with
all
possible
speed
.
He
must
goe
to
him
,
not
tarry
till
hee
meete
him
,
or
till
some
occasion
bring
them
together
;
Humanity
may
worke
some
to
this
vndertaking
,
and
ouertaking
of
peace
:
but
man
is
naturally
so
good
a
constructor
of
his
owne
doings
,
that
will
hee
confesse
his
fault
?
He
shall
confesse
his
trespasse
.
An
ingenious
nature
may
be
brought
to
acknowledge
his
fault
:
but
will
Pride
,
the
contention-maker
,
admit
Humilitie
?
will
hee
stoope
to
him
hee
hath
abused
?
From
insultation
will
hee
descend
to
submission
?
He
must
;
Goe
and
humble
thy selfe
.
Touch
of
conscience
may
procure
Humilitie
;
but
yet
wll
he
not
spend
twice
as
much
at
Law
,
ere
he
make
restitution
?
Yet
euen
here
,
a
quiet
man
for
his
owne
peace
sake
may
be
brought
to
giue
somewhat
,
for
a
part
of
amends
:
but
will
hee
satisfie
him
the
whole
?
The
law
of
nature
requires
total
satisfaction
,
but
will
hee
besides
giue
dammages
?
The
law
of
the
Land
allowes
dammages
;
but
now
will
hee
giue
any
ouerplus
to
make
an
attonement
?
or
bee
at
so
much
coast
as
to
buy
a
reconcilement
,
rather
then
misse
it
?
He
must
:
Zacheus
restores
fourefold
;
and
by
the
Law
he
is
bound
to
adde
a
fifth
part
.
But
if
all
this
be
done
,
will
hee
yet
euer
bee
friends
with
him
?
will
he
be
truely
reconciled
?
Hee
must
:
Reconcile
thy self
to
thy
brother
.
Otherwise
,
when
he
desires
of
the
Lord
to
be
forgiuen
,
as
hee
forgiueth
;
God
will
answer
as
Ioseph
did
to
his
brethren
;
Looke
me
not
in
the
face
,
vnlesse
thy
brother
bee
with
thee
.
Shall
the
father
thinke
wel
of
that
sonne
,
which
reiecteth
his
brother
?
Doe
we
call
the
Author
of
Peace
,
our
God
,
while
wee
are
the
children
of
dissention
?
Will
he
euer
agree
with
him
,
that
delights
to
quarrell
with
his
?
But
suppose
the
iniurer
doth
intreate
and
perswade
himself
,
without
pr●uailing
,
will
he
vse
his
friendes
about
such
a
businesse
?
Yes
,
saith
Seolomon
,
hee
must
employ
his
friends
.
Time
may
worke
all
this
,
but
to
doe
it
when
the
flesh
trembles
,
and
the
blood
boyles
for
reuenge
,
suddenly
;
who
can
so
preuaile
ouer
him selfe
?
He
must
doe
it
quickly
;
Agree
with
thine
aduersary
quickly
.
Yes
perhaps
,
when
leasure
may
serue
:
but
will
any
man
neglect
businesse
to
goe
about
it
?
Yes
,
all
busines
set
apart
,
though
it
were
as
important
as
offring
sacrifice
at
Gods
owne
Altar
;
Leaue
there
thy
gift
,
Yet
now
all
this
may
be
done
of
an
Inferiour
to
a
Superior
,
either
for
feare
or
hope
of
gaine
by
his
loue
:
but
would
you
haue
a
Superiour
yeeld
thus
to
an
Inferior
,
to
deprecate
strife
?
Yes
,
Abraham
disdained
not
to
goe
vnto
Lot
,
the
elder
to
the
yonger
,
the
vncle
to
the
nephew
,
the
worthier
to
the
meaner
,
and
that
in
the
kindest
manner
,
to
compose
a
controuersie
begun
by
their
seruants
.
O
that
this
age
,
which
seldome
wakes
but
to
doe
mischiefe
,
would
yet
think
,
how
after
all
iniuries
to
others
,
they
doe
this
greatest
iniury
to
their
owne
soules
;
that
for
want
of
a
iust
compensation
,
they
exclude
themselues
from
the
blessing
of
Peace
!
These
bee
the
maine
Gates
,
there
is
a
little
Posterne
besides
,
that
is
Humilitie
:
for
of
all
vices
,
Heauen
is
a
high
Citie
,
yet
hath
but
a
low
Gate
.
Wee
haue
seene
the
Citie
of
Peace
,
with
her
walles
and
gates
,
and
wee
wish
well
to
her
;
Peace
bee
within
thy
wals
,
and
prosperitie
within
thy
palaces
.
But
hath
she
no
aduersaries
?
Yes
,
there
is
an
enemic
that
beleaguers
this
Citie
;
Contention
.
Whose
army
is
diuided
into
two
Bands
or
Troups
;
vel
ferro
,
vel
foro
,
Ferro
,
Cannot
the
teares
of
our
Mother
preuail
with
vs
,
when
seeing
vs
quarrell
,
she
sayes
as
Iocasta
aduised
her
two
vnbrotherly
sonnes
;
Bella
geri
placuit
nullos
habitura
triumphos
.
Or
as
Rebecca
said
of
her
twinnes
;
Why
should
I
be
depriued
of
you
both
in
one
day
?
But
if
our
Mother
cannot
still
vs
,
our
Father
will
part
vs
:
&
they
whose
soules
haue
peace
,
shall
be
sent
to
a
prison
where
is
no
peace
:
that
seeing
they
loue
quarrels
,
they
may
haue
fighting
enough
with
infernall
spirits
.
But
perhaps
there
bee
some
who
make
no
other
reckoning
,
resoluing
with
him
in
the
Orator
,
Hodie
coenabimus
apud
Inferos
:
to
night
wee
will
sup
together
in
hell
.
As
it
is
reported
of
two
to
haue
fought
vnder
the
gallows
:
desperately
fore-casting
,
that
if
the
one
were
there
killed
,
the
other
should
there
be
hanged
.
By
the
toleration
of
this
Duel
in
France
,
that
kingdome
lost
in
tenne
yeres
six
thousand
Gentlemen
;
as
themselues
report
.
Wretched
men
!
for
Occiser
lethaliter
peccat
,
brethren
in
euil
for
it
,
blesseth
his
honor
from
their
company
,
&
his
soule
from
their
secrecy
.
Thou
sayst
of
thy
contendent
,
he
shal
haue
as
good
as
he
brings
,
yet
thy self
condemnest
that
hee
brings
for
euill
.
Sometimes
this
ariseth
from
the
wine
,
Bacchus
ad
arma
vocat
:
and
lightly
it
makes
men
aptest
to
vse
their
armes
,
when
they
cannot
stand
on
their
legges
.
But
shall
this
serue
for
a
plea
,
and
get
a
pardon
,
it
was
done
in
drinke
?
no
,
this
rather
deserues
a
double
punishment
,
as
it
is
a
double
fault
.
Commonly
it
proceeds
from
vnaduised
anger
;
as
if
any
thing
done
in
fury
,
were
not
done
in
folly
.
The
cholericke
man
is
like
one
that
dwels
in
a
thatched
house
;
who
being
rich
in
the
morning
,
by
a
sodaine
fire
is
a
beggar
before
night
.
It
was
the
decree
of
Theodosius
,
by
the
counsell
of
S.
Ambrose
;
that
execution
after
a
seuere
sentence
should
be
deferred
thirtie
dayes
:
that
the
heat
being
qualified
,
the
seueritie
might
be
moderated
.
But
they
obiect
,
This
is
to
stand
by
like
fooles
,
while
wee
suffer
others
to
abuse
vs
:
no
,
that
is
not
folly
,
which
the
Lord
hath
commended
for
wisdome
.
The
shot
of
the
Cannon
hurts
not
Wooll
,
and
such
yeelding
things
;
but
that
which
is
hard
,
stubborne
,
and
resisting
:
the
rage
of
our
roaring
sonnes
is
tamed
by
patience
.
Turne
to
the
brawling
curre
,
and
hee
will
be
more
fierce
:
ride
on
neglecting
him
,
and
he
will
soone
be
quiet
.
This
is
the
furious
Band.
Foro
;
He
that
is
first
in
his
owne
cause
,
seemeth
iust
:
but
his
neighbour
commeth
,
and
searcheth
him
:
hee
is
no
competent
Iudge
in
his
own
matter
.
It
will
beare
an
action
,
saith
the
Law-giuer
,
this
enflameth
passion
in
the
Law-goer
.
O
that
men
could
see
the
folly
of
this
litigiousnesse
.
1.
That
hee
is
not
in
the
state
of
grace
,
but
a
meere
carnal
man
.
This
is
Saint
Pauls
argument
to
the
Corinthians
;
If
there
be
contentions
amongst
you
,
Are
ye
not
carnall
?
Fruit
of
the
Spirit
is
Peace
,
Long-suffering
,
Gentlenesse
.
2.
That
hee
doth
not
so
much
find
,
as
make
himselfe
enemies
:
we
may
say
of
him
as
the
Angel
said
to
Hagar
concerning
her
son
Ishmael
;
His
hand
is
against
euery
man
,
and
euery
mans
hand
against
him
.
3.
That
he
vexeth
himselfe
without
need
:
they
that
goe
to
Law
for
trifles
,
are
like
nice
people
that
continually
lie
in
the
hands
of
Chirurgians
,
and
Phisicians
,
for
pimples
&
warts
:
wheras
as
the
Physician
and
Lawyer
are
for
necessitie
,
not
wantonnesse
.
Their
boxes
and
papers
are
the
Books
&
Badges
of
their
profession
:
they
trudge
vp
and
downe
,
more
busie
to
cast
away
their
money
,
then
Lawyers
are
to
catch
it
:
their
word
is
Currat
Lex
,
let
the
law
haue
his
course
:
but
by
their
willes
that
course
should
neuer
haue
an
end
.
They
plead
,
wee
haue
stood
before
the
best
,
in
Courts
of
highest
honor
:
alas
,
so
doth
the
spider
,
in
kings
palaces
.
So
did
the
Deuill
,
when
the
Sons
of
God
presented
themselus
before
him
,
Is
there
not
one
wise
man
among
you
,
loue
,
Brother
is
against
brother
.
Want
of
Patience
;
Why
do
ye
not
rather
suffer
wrong
?
Want
of
Iustice
;
Ye
defraud
and
do
wrong
.
For
want
of
Iustice
,
foro
conscientiae
,
they
prosecute
their
malice
,
foro
Iustitiae
.
Wee
may
add
,
want
of
Mercy
,
they
cannot
forgiue
:
but
if
they
forgiue
not
others
,
their
finall
Quietus
est
was
neuer
yet
sealed
;
and
they
shal
be
called
to
an
after-reckoning
.
As
that
wicked
seruant
sped
;
notwithstanding
the
Lord
forgaue
him
at
his
request
,
deliuered
ouer
to
the
tormentors
.
Fiftly
,
they
weigh
not
how
they
are
deceiued
.
Lawyers
first
inuented
Lawes
to
secure
our
lands
and
titles
:
now
they
make
those
lawes
engines
to
get
away
our
lands
and
titles
.
Their
frequent
Session
hath
not
beene
euermore
to
preserue
a
mans
possession
.
And
for
those
that
can
tarry
the
leasure
of
the
Lawe
,
they
haue
quirks
&
delayes
:
which
are
like
the
corrosiue
plaisters
of
an
vnconscinable
Leach
,
that
turnes
a
small
greene
wound
to
an
incurable
Fistula
,
by
poysoning
and
exulceration
of
it
for
filthy
lucre
.
When
a
man
must
die
without
mercy
,
it
is
some
ease
to
die
quickly
,
and
bee
out
of
his
paine
.
But
such
,
when
they
purpose
to
murther
a
mans
estate
,
haue
tricks
to
keepe
him
long
a
dying
:
that
hee
may
still
languish
and
pine
away
in
hope
of
recouery
.
And
what
doth
the
winner
get
,
that
at
the
Tearmes
end
,
hee
may
bragge
of
his
gaines
?
Doth
hee
not
come
home
dry-founderd
?
Doth
he
not
follow
the
Mill
so
long
,
till
the
toll
be
more
then
the
griest
?
It
is
a
token
of
vnwholsome
ayre
,
wher
the
countrey
is
full
of
thriuing
Physitions
:
Sivaleant
homines
,
arstua
,
Phaebe
,
iacet
.
It
argues
little
health
in
that
kingdome
,
which
hath
so
many
thriuing
Lawyers
:
who
while
vnquietnesse
feeds
vs
,
do
quietly
feed
vpon
vs
.
We
are
willing
to
giue
such
self-molesters
some
counsell
,
if
they
wil
take
it
,
and
aske
them
no
fees
for
it
.
Yea
wee
giue
it
not
,
but
Christ
giues
it
:
wil
they
take
his
aduice
,
that
great
Counseller
of
the
Father
?
He
counsels
his
clients
to
the
euerlasting
possession
of
their
soules
by
patience
.
In
Olympiacis
certaminibus
,
Diabolo
consecratis
;
I
am
no
Anabaptist
,
nor
Libertine
,
to
deny
the
Magistracie
,
or
lawfulnes
of
authoritie
,
and
our
iust
appeale
thereto
.
Rather
then
euery
man
should
be
his
owne
Iudge
,
I
would
appease
vprores
with
the
Town-clerke
of
Ephesus
;
The
Law
is
open
,
and
there
are
Deputies
,
let
them
implead
one
another
.
Saint
Paul
himselfe
took
this
course
,
appealing
to
the
Iudgment
seat
of
Caesar.
If
I
haue
spoken
euill
,
beare
witnesse
of
the
euill
:
but
if
well
,
why
smitest
thou
mee
?
So
Paul
to
Ananias
,
Sittest
thou
to
iudge
me
after
the
Law
,
&
commandest
mee
to
be
smitten
contrary
to
the
Law
?
The
Lord
himselfe
hath
appoynted
Tribunals
:
and
no
law
,
no
loue
.
I
know
there
is
a
Christianly
seeking
of
Iustice
,
when
iniurious
persons
grow
worse
by
forbearance
,
and
ground
their
insolence
vpon
others
patience
.
As
Christians
may
warre
in
loue
,
so
they
may
iarre
in
loue
:
when
the
partie
cast
in
the
suit
,
may
be
bettered
,
if
not
in
his
money
,
yet
in
his
manners
;
and
Satan
onely
conquered
.
Vt
qui
vincitur
,
simul
vincat
,
&
vnus
tantummodo
vincatur
diabolus
.
Sed
reprimam
me
,
I
will
hold
me
where
I
was
.
I
haue
laboured
to
bring
men
into
peace
,
I
must
shew
them
no
way
out
againe
.
The
Fathers
sometimes
in
confuting
an
Heresie
much
spread
;
if
they
did
runne
a
little
within
the
brinks
of
a
contrary
error
,
not
then
questioned
,
nor
so
dangerous
;
were
neuer
censured
for
that
to
haue
erred
Dogmaticè
.
So
if
to
conuince
that
Heresie
in
maners
,
(
It
is
lawfull
to
go
to
law
for
euery
thing
;
)
I
should
a
little
leane
to
and
fauor
that
other
opinion
,
(
It
is
lawfull
to
goe
to
law
for
nothing
;
)
either
excuse
mee
,
or
at
least
suspend
your
iudgements
,
till
I
come
on
purpose
to
handle
that
poynt
.
If
men
would
promise
not
to
goe
to
Law
till
then
,
I
would
promise
,
when
they
did
goe
to
Law
,
to
beare
all
their
charges
.
Howsoeuer
,
let
them
not
doe
it
animo
litigandi
,
nor
for
euery
wrong
enter
an
action
,
lest
God
enter
his
action
against
them
.
The
Lord
hath
a
controuersie
with
the
Inhabitants
of
the
land
:
a
terrible
action
,
which
the
Iury
of
heauen
and
earth
wil
find
.
Let
them
therefore
leaue
all
,
and
study
Gods
Law
,
with
that
royall
Prophet
;
Thy
Testimonies
are
my
delight
and
my
Counsellers
:
I
will
meditate
in
thy
Statutes
.
Blessed
is
hee
that
meditates
on
Gods
Law
day
and
night
:
Hell
and
destruction
are
before
the
Lord
,
much
more
then
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men
.
Or
as
if
seeing
men
contend
,
he
had
nothing
to
do
with
it
:
but
must
sit
still
like
an
idle
looker
on
,
and
take
part
with
neither
.
Dearly
beloued
,
auenge
not
your selues
,
but
rather
giue
place
vnto
wrath
:
for
it
is
written
,
Vengeance
is
mine
,
I
will
repay
,
saith
the
Lord
.
This
sounds
a
Retreat
to
all
quarrels
:
Paul
seeing
the
Daggers
drawen
,
and
the
peace
in
danger
to
bee
broken
;
steps
in
with
the
sword
of
the
Spirit
,
to
part
the
fray
.
It
is
a
Writ
of
Reuersment
from
the
high
Court
of
heauen
:
if
we
break
open
the
writ
,
we
shall
find
the
Kings
pleasure
in
it
;
an
Arrest
of
reuengers
.
Hee
begins
with
Dearely
beloued
;
a
sweet
ingredience
,
to
qualifie
a
bitter
medicine
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
It
is
my
loue
that
I
write
so
much
against
malice
:
not
for
your
hurt
,
but
for
your
eternal
good
:
if
you
wil
not
beleeue
me
,
beleeue
God
himself
:
To
me
belongeth
vengeance
.
The
Deuill
when
hee
gets
audience
,
tels
a
man
how
much
hee
is
hated
of
others
:
the
holy
Spirit
tels
him
how
much
hee
is
loued
of
others
.
The
argument
of
our
charity
to
them
,
is
Gods
charitie
to
vs
.
Put
on
(
as
the
elect
of
God
,
holy
and
beloued
)
bowels
of
mercies
,
kindnes
,
humblenes
of
mind
,
long
suffering
:
seeing
you
are
beloued
of
God
,
loue
his
.
This
is
Gods
chalenge
,
Vengeance
is
mine
:
Gods
execution
,
I
will
repay
:
Gods
Subscription
,
to
which
his
great
Name
is
affixed
,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
.
Scriptum
est
,
it
is
a
transcript
and
faithfull
copy
out
of
the
Originall
,
to
shew
it
the
Lords
true
act
and
deed
:
twice
written
,
that
it
might
neuer
be
forgotten
.
Once
hath
God
spoken
,
twice
haue
I
heard
it
,
that
Vengeance
(
so
well
as
Power
)
belongeth
vnto
God
.
Hee
pleads
the
continuance
of
Succession
without
interruption
;
vengeance
,
Iudgement
,
and
Glory
are
His
alone
.
Therefore
to
auenge
our selues
,
is
both
to
lose
Gods
protection
,
and
to
incurre
his
condemnation
.
It
is
faithlesse
and
fruitlesse
:
faithlesse
,
not
to
beleeue
that
God
wil
deale
with
vs
according
to
his
Word
.
With
thine
eyes
thou
shalt
see
the
reward
of
the
wicked
.
It
is
then
infidelitie
not
to
commit
our
case
to
God
,
and
his
Deputie
the
Prince
;
but
to
make
them
both
our
deputies
and
instruments
of
reuenge
.
What
is
this
but
to
exalt
our selues
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
;
and
to
play
the
Deuil
in
iest
,
and
the
Pope
in
good
earnest
?
Fruitlesse
,
for
if
being
wronged
,
we
draw
out
our
woodden
dagger
of
reuenge
,
God
wil
put
vp
his
sword
,
and
leaue
vs
to
our selues
.
The
iniured
child
turnes
not
againe
,
but
runs
to
his
father
.
When
the
Italians
heare
how
God
hath
reserued
Vengeance
to
himselfe
,
they
say
blasphemously
,
He
knew
it
was
too
sweet
a
bit
for
man
,
therefore
kept
it
for
his
owne
tooth
.
But
if
man
were
is
owne
caruer
,
he
would
carue
too
deepe
.
God
onely
is
wise
and
iust
,
wise
to
know
,
&
iust
to
giue
the
due
proportion
.
Now
the
Great
and
Omnipotent
Lord
chiefe
Iustice
,
bind
vs
all
to
the
peace
on
earth
,
and
bring
vs
all
to
the
peace
of
heauen
.
Now
because
euery
Citie
must
haue
an
established
Gouernment
;
Order
being
the
good
of
euery
creature
,
&
it
is
better
not
to
be
,
then
to
be
out
of
order
:
therefore
this
Citie
of
Peace
must
haue
a
Lord
,
and
a
Law
:
a
Ruler
to
gouerne
it
,
and
a
Rule
whereby
it
must
be
gouerned
.
The
King
is
Christ
,
who
is
therfore
called
Princeps
Pacis
,
The
Prince
of
Peace
.
And
hee
hath
a
Deputie
or
Vicegerent
vnder
him
,
whom
hee
hath
set
to
promoue
the
good
,
and
to
remoue
the
euill
,
of
Peace
.
The
Law
is
Truth
,
that
is
the
Gospell
,
Regula
Pacis
,
the
Rule
of
Truth
.
The
Gouernour
of
this
Citie
Is
supreme
Authoritie
:
I
haue
said
,
Yee
are
Gods
.
God
is
an
inuisible
King
,
the
King
is
a
visible
god
.
Ye
must
bee
subiect
,
not
onely
for
wrath
,
but
also
for
Conscience
sake
.
All
must
obey
:
the
bad
for
feare
,
the
good
for
loue
.
To
compell
the
one
,
there
is
a
Writ
out
of
the
Kings
Bench
:
to
perswade
the
other
,
there
is
a
motion
in
the
Chancery
.
Of
all
Nations
we
are
blessed
with
peace
,
vnder
a
King
of
peace
:
therefore
all
bound
to
bee
children
of
peace
.
There
are
three
wayes
of
chusing
Kings
.
1.
An
immediate
nomination
from
God
.
2.
A
Succession
of
blood
.
3.
An
election
of
the
people
.
The
first
ceaseth
,
the
last
hath
been
found
dangerous
,
the
best
remaines
.
They
that
are
suddenly
chosen
out
of
the
flock
,
doe
seldome
manifest
such
royall
behauiour
,
nor
become
their
Maieiestie
;
for
it

Iehu
remitted
much
of
his
noble
zeale
,
when
hee
was
setled
in
his
kingdome
.
It
is
one
thing
to
say
,
With
a
great
summe
of
money
,
obtained
I
this
kingdome
:
and
for
another
to
say
,
I
was
a
King
borne
.
Wee
may
iustly
say
of
our
King
,
Dignissimus
Regno
,
si
non
natus
ad
Regnum
.
When
the
Poets
called
some
men
the
Sonnes
and
off-spring
of
the
gods
;
they
meant
that
they
were
men
of
a
more
noble
and
vncommon
nature
:
and
that
those
graces
were
,
Ex
Diuino
afflatu
.
It
was
as
familiar
with
Homer
,
to
make
a
King
fight
with
a
god
at
his
elbowe
,
as
a
common
Souldier
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
.
To
whom
the
Lord
giues
most
honour
,
he
giues
most
assistance
.
The
heart
of
the
King
is
in
his
hand
,
as
riuers
of
waters
;
the
heart
of
a
priuate
man
as
a
little
brook
:
in
the
former
is
more
need
of
his
omnipotence
.
Howsoeuer
,
the
grace
of
adoption
,
in
the
Apostles
time
,
not
giuen
to
many
mightie
or
noble
;
yet
the
graces
of
administration
are
.
Anarchie
is
the
mother
of
diuision
,
the
stepmother
of
peace
.
While
the
State
of
Italy
wants
a
King
,
all
runnes
into
ciuill
broiles
.
It
is
the
happinesse
of
this
Citie
,
that
there
is
no
distraction
.
Not
a
King
at
Iudah
,
and
another
at
Dan
:
not
one
in
Hebron
,
another
in
Gibeon
:
not
the
redd
Rose
here
,
and
the
white
there
.
We
are
not
shuffled
into
a
popular
gouernment
,
nor
cut
into
Cantons
,
by
a
headles
,
headstrong
Aristocracie
:
but
Henricus
Rosas
,
Regna
Iacobus
:
in
Henry
was
the
vnion
of
Roses
,
in
Iames
of
the
kingdomes
.
Euery
King
is
not
a
Peace-maker
;
ours
,
like
a
second
Augustus
,
hath
shut
the
rustie
doore
of
Ianus
Temple
;
so
making
Peace
,
as
if
hee
were
made
of
peace
.
That
blessed
Queene
of
sweete
and
sacred
memory
before
him
,
was
Filia
Pacis
:
who
,
as
by
her
Sexuall
graces
shed
deserued
to
bee
the
Queene
of
women
,
so
by
her
masculine
vertues
to
bee
the
Queen
of
men
.
Certenly
,
it
would
haue
troubled
any
King
but
Him
,
to
haue
succeeded
such
a
Queene
;
yet
no
man
complaines
the
want
of
peace
.
This
hee
promised
,
and
Verbum
Regis
,
Rex
Regi
,
this
hee
hath
perfourmed
to
euery
good
soules
content
.
When
he
was
first
proclaimed
,
what
heard
we
but
peace
?
What
heard
the
Nobles
?
a
King
that
would
honour
them
.
What
the
Senators
?
a
King
that
would
counsell
them
.
What
the
Schooles
?
a
King
that
would
grace
them
.
What
the
Diuines
?
a
King
that
would
encourage
them
.
What
the
rich
?
a
King
that
would
defend
them
.
What
the
poore
?
a
King
that
would
relieue
them
.
When
a
Tyrant
comes
abroad
,
all
seeke
to
hide
themselues
:
When
the
wicked
rise
,
men
hide
themselues
.
But
when
a
clement
Prince
progresseth
,
all
flock
to
him
,
the
streets
and
wayes
are
filled
with
people
,
the
aire
with
acclamations
.
We
call
our
peace
,
the
Kings
peace
:
and
say
to
brawlers
,
Keepe
the
Kings
peace
.
Peace
,
Plentie
,
Trafficke
,
Learning
,
Administration
of
Iustice
,
flourishing
of
arts
,
preaching
of
the
Gospell
,
Rex
Iupiter
omnibus
idem
.
Like
Dauid
,
hee
leads
the
Dance
to
heauen
:
and
like
Augustus
,
makes
a
sweet
spring
wheresoeuer
hee
goes
.
Israel
had
rest
fortie
yeres
,
we
haue
had
a
Iubile
of
fiftie
yeares
,
and
begun
againe
.
Away
then
with
those
discontented
spirits
,
that
grudge
these
outward
rights
,
whether
tributes
of
money
,
or
attributes
of
Supremacie
.
Soluatur
subsidium
,
ne
contingat
excidium
.
For
this
cause
pay
wee
tribute
also
,
&c.
What
portion
haue
wee
in
Dauid
?
For
this
cause
certainly
,
if
Dauid
were
now
a
liue
,
he
would
neuer
admit
a
Iesuit
to
his
Chaplaine
.
But
perish
his
enemies
,
and
vpon
his
own
Head
let
his
Crowne
flourish
.
May
not
the
Scepter
depart
from
Iacob
,
nor
a
Seed
from
his
loynes
,
till
Shiloh
come
againe
.
May
his
Posteritie
haue
a
Crowne
on
earth
,
when
himselfe
hath
a
crown
in
heauen
.
Amen
.
The
Law
of
this
Citie
Is
the
Gospel
of
Christ
:
I
will
heare
what
the
Lord
will
speake
:
for
hee
will
speake
peace
vnto
his
people
.
One
takes
snuffe
at
his
poore
neighbour
;
perhaps
it
is
Mordecai's
cap
that
hath
put
Haman
out
of
his
princely
wits
:
and
now
hee
resolues
to
trounce
him
:
proud
beggar
!
Hee
will
teach
him
to
knowe
his
betters
.
O
but
tarry
,
and
heare
the
Statute
of
Peace
.
Rob
not
the
poore
because
hee
is
poore
:
for
the
Lord
will
pleade
his
cause
,
and
spoyle
the
soule
of
them
that
spoile
him
.
Lust
makes
this
a
spurre
to
opression
,
Quia
pauper
,
because
hee
is
poore
:
the
Law
makes
this
a
bridle
from
it
,
Quia
pauper
,
because
he
is
poore
.
Another
is
erop-sicke
of
Ceremonies
;
hee
hath
a
toy
in
his
head
,
that
the
Churches
garment
should
not
bee
embroydered
,
nor
haue
more
lace
and
fringe
then
his
owne
coat
:
there
is
in
him
so
little
of
man
,
that
he
talkes
of
nothing
but
the
Beast
.
Rather
then
his
children
shall
bee
crossed
in
Baptisme
,
hee
will
out
of
the
Arke
into
some
fantasticall
Wherry
.
Let
him
tarry
,
and
heare
what
the
Lord
speakes
,
in
his
Law
of
peace
.
In
Christ
Iesus
neither
Circumcision
auayleth
anything
,
nor
vncircumcision
,
but
a
New
creature
.
That
is
,
neither
Ceremony
,
nor
no
Ceremony
,
but
the
Substantiall
;
a
new
Creature
.
Another
flatters
himselfe
;
I
need
not
stand
on
strict
performance
of
Tythes
,
the
Gospell
requires
nothing
but
Beneuolence
:
experienced
men
iustifie
it
,
I
haue
the
warrant
of
good
Lawyers
for
it
.
O
but
such
a
Lawyer
is
the
Barrister
of
Barathrum
,
a
sworne
enemy
to
the
law
of
peace
.
The
voice
of
Christ
is
not
in
it
,
heare
that
.
Let
him
that
is
taught
in
the
word
,
communicate
vnto
him
that
teacheth
,
in
all
good
things
.
This
City
of
Peace
hath
one
immutable
Rule
,
and
it
is
sufficient
to
direct
all
actions
.
And
as
many
as
walke
according
to
this
Rule
,
peace
be
on
them
,
and
mercy
,
and
vpon
the
Israell
of
God
.
A
man
is
proud
of
his
victorious
mischiefes
,
flesh'd
with
his
fortunat
wickednesse
;
thinkes
he
hath
carried
himselfe
brauely
,
in
out-bribing
his
aduersary
,
fooling
Iudge
and
Iury
by
false
testimony
,
and
triumphs
in
his
vnblest
gain
;
but
is
this
according
to
the
rule
of
Peace
.
Vincat
veritas
,
let
Truth
ouercom
.
The
loser
may
sit
down
with
content
,
but
the
winner
shall
ye
down
in
torment
.
A
rich
man
carries
himselfe
proudly
,
;
aboue
others
in
scorne
,
aboue
himselfe
in
folly
:
hee
thinkes
all
his
Titles
beneath
him
,
and
euen
those
that
worship
him
,
still
to
vnderualue
him
:
others
hee
lookes
vpon
,
as
if
they
were
made
to
serue
him
,
yea
,
and
bee
proud
to
bee
commanded
by
him
.
Crosse
him
,
and
hee
rages
,
swelles
,
foames
,
like
the
Sea
in
a
storme
:
but
is
this
after
the
Rule
of
Peace
?
Learne
of
mee
who
am
meeke
and
lowly
in
heart
.
Alas
,
what
is
the
difference
in
dust
?
The
Beggar
dies
,
so
doth
the
rich
man
.
Before
,
the
rich
could
not
endure
the
beggar
neere
him
,
here
one
verse
containes
them
both
.
In
life
the
rich
hath
the
preheminence
of
ease
,
and
wealth
,
and
honour
:
in
death
the
poore
man
goes
first
to
peace
.
In
driuing
a
trade
,
it
is
Mammons
prime
policy
,
to
take
aduantage
of
others
necessitie
,
or
simplicity
.
Sold
you
it
for
so
much
?
Peter
:
For
so
much
,
answers
Ananias
.
Did
it
cost
so
much
?
sayes
the
buyer
:
yes
,
saith
the
seller
.
Let
him
tremble
at
the
Iudgement
,
which
was
a
sudden
death
.
This
is
the
Rule
of
an
vniust
Citie
,
not
of
the
Citie
of
Peace
.
Pereat
mundi
lucrum
,
ne
fia●
animae
damnum
.
Perish
that
gaine
which
comes
with
the
soules
losse
.
Many
thinke
Charity
to
the
poore
,
to
bee
a
worke
of
meere
Supererogation
;
that
they
are
not
bound
liberally
to
giue
part
of
that
to
lasie
beggars
,
which
they
haue
laboriously
gotten
by
their
endeauours
.
But
heare
the
Rule
of
Peace
;
Breake
thy
bread
vnto
the
hungry
;
Sell
that
thou
hast
,
and
giue
to
the
poore
.
But
as
when
Christ
disswaded
from
Couetice
,
by
the
difficultie
of
entrance
that
wealth
finds
to
heauen
,
they
amazedly
replied
,
Who
then
can
be
saued
?
Who
can
walk
after
this
Rule
?
When
we
preach
this
doctrine
,
the
world
cries
,
Durus
Sermo
,
this
is
a
hard
saying
,
a
harsh
Sermon
.
Yet
is
this
the
law
of
peace
,
and
thus
minded
are
the
citizens
of
peace
.
When
the
poore
at
your
gates
aske
you
Panem
quotidinum
,
their
daily
bread
;
they
after
a
sort
make
you
gods
;
therfore
shew
your selues
at
least
to
be
men
.
Charitie
is
the
food
of
Peace
on
earth
,
and
the
Seed
of
peace
in
heauen
.
The
Palace
of
Peace
Is
the
Temple
:
Templum
Pacis
without
the
gates
,
yet
heere
it
is
the
chiefe
honor
and
ornament
of
the
Citie
.
Heere
Peace
keepsher
Court
,
and
sits
like
a
royall
Queene
in
her
Chaire
of
Estate
.
Which
is
not
like
Solomons
Throne
,
guarded
with
Lyons
;
but
with
milke-white
Doues
,
and
couered
ouer
with
Oliue
branches
.
But
alas
!
how
doth
her
Palace
now
fall
to
ruine
for
want
of
reparation
?
Few
there
bee
that
repaire
it
,
but
to
impaire
it
thousands
are
ready
.
The
question
was
once
;
What
shall
we
bring
to
the
man
of
God
?
Now
it
is
a
motion
suffered
in
all
Courts
,
What
shall
we
take
away
from
the
man
of
God
?
The
noble
Shunamite
built
him
a
chamber
,
with
a
bed
and
a
candlesticke
:
We
haue
those
that
pull
downe
his
roomes
,
disturbe
his
rest
,
and
put
out
his
light
.
Nehemiah
reduced
the
Tythes
to
the
primitiue
institution
and
order
:
But
if
any
Nehemiah
should
now
vndertake
it
,
and
restore
our
portion
to
our
own
hands
;
there
are
tenne
thousand
Harpies
ready
to
catch
it
ere
it
come
to
our
mouthes
.
Wee
may
sing
,
or
rather
sigh
one
to
another
,
as
little
children
chaunt
in
the
streets
:
When
shall
we
eat
white
Bread
?
When
the
Puttock
is
dead
:
when
there
is
not
a
Sacrilegious
Lawyer
left
.
If
the
walls
of
Ierusalem
should
beginne
to
rise
,
there
is
a
Tobiah
or
Samballat
to
flout
vs
,
Fox
is
able
to
breake
them
downe
.
Corrupt
Aduocates
are
those
Foxes
,
and
by
their
wills
the
Vine
of
Peace
should
beare
no
Grapes
that
ecape
their
fingers
.
Some
haue
written
wittily
in
the
praise
of
folly
,
some
haue
commended
Baldnesse
;
other
in
a
quaint
Paradoxe
extolled
deformity
:
but
in
former
times
it
was
neuer
heard
that
any
wrote
Encomiums
of
Sacrilege
.
That
the
Kings
of
the
earth
should
conspire
against
Christ
,
they
knew
him
not
.
hath
broken
downe
her
hedges
;
In
many
places
,
Ahab
-
like
,
they
haue
engrossed
the
whole
vineyard
:
but
if
the
poore
,
exposed
,
&
vnsupported
Vine
be
left
,
it
shall
beare
the
owner
but
a
few
grapes
.
This
may
hold
in
Iure
Fori
,
it
neuer
shall
hold
in
Iure
Poli.
God
promised
that
the
faith
of
the
Church
should
remoue
mountaines
:
such
were
Domitian
,
Dioclesian
,
and
those
Imperiall
persecutors
.
The
Church
prayes
,
Dorsum
corum
incurua
,
Bow
downe
their
backes
;
and
so
the
Lord
did
.
Valerian
was
so
bowed
downe
,
that
hee
became
a
footstoole
for
the
King
of
Persia
,
to
mount
vp
to
his
horse
O
that
the
Church
of
Peace
had
still
this
miraculous
Faith
,
to
remoue
these
mountaines
;
malicious
and
truth-hating
pleaders
,
the
pioners
of
the
Temple
,
and
the
maintainers
of
those
that
pillage
it
.
They
tell
vs
,
the
Law
is
open
,
and
there
be
deputies
;
Thou
and
Ziba
diuide
the
land
:
Yea
let
him
take
all
:
For
the
misery
of
Law
,
I
neuer
by
experience
found
it
,
because
I
neuer
tried
it
:
but
when
they
haue
leaue
to
diuide
the
Inheritance
of
Christ
with
their
Ministers
(
and
it
were
somthing
tolerable
if
they
did
but
diuide
it
)
I
say
,
yea
let
them
take
all
,
seeing
all
they
will
haue
,
rather
then
we
go
to
recouer
it
by
such
a
Iudgement
.
But
certenly
God
cannot
long
abide
to
see
that
people
prosper
,
who
cannot
abide
to
see
his
Church
prosper
.
They
that
spoil
the
Palace
of
Peace
on
earth
,
shall
neuer
be
entertained
into
her
glorious
Court
of
heauen
.
The
Riuer
that
serues
this
Citie
of
Peace
Is
Prosperitie
.
Take
this
Citie
wee
liue
in
for
an
Instance
.
Peace
hath
brought
Gods
plentie
:
the
Inhabitants
neither
plowe
,
nor
sowe
,
nor
reape
;
yet
are
fed
like
the
fowles
of
heauen
.
They
fare
well
with
lesse
trouble
,
then
if
come
grewe
at
their
doores
,
and
cattell
grased
in
their
streets
.
But
as
Nylus
may
rise
too
high
,
and
water
Egypt
too
much
;
so
the
inundation
of
opulency
may
doe
them
hurt
.
Thus
may
the
influence
of
heauen
,
and
the
plentie
of
earth
,
be
a
Snare
vnto
vs
;
and
our
abundance
,
an
occasion
of
our
falling
.
Prosperitie
is
heartie
meat
,
but
not
digestible
by
a
weake
stomack
,
strong
wine
,
but
naught
for
a
weake
braine
.
The
prosperitie
of
fooles
destroyeth
them
.
There
be
(
as
I
heard
a
worthy
Diuine
obserue
)
three
maine
Riuers
in
the
land
,
whereof
this
is
held
the
best
:
and
this
Citie
is
placed
in
the
best
Seate
of
the
Riuer
,
vpon
the
gentle
rising
of
a
hill
,
in
the
best
ayre
,
and
richest
soyle
.
When
a
Courtier
gaue
it
out
,
That
Queene
Mary
being
displeased
with
the
Citie
,
threatned
to
diuert
both
Tearme
and
Parliament
to
Oxford
:
an
Alderman
asked
whether
shee
meant
to
turne
the
chanell
of
the
Thames
thither
,
or
no
▪
if
not
,
saith
hee
,
by
Gods
grace
we
shall
doe
well
enough
.
The
lines
are
fallen
to
vs
in
pleasant
places
,
wee
haue
a
goodly
Heritage
.
Both
the
Elements
are
our
friends
;
the
Earth
sends
vs
in
her
fruites
,
the
Sea
her
merchandise
.
Wee
are
neere
enough
the
benefits
,
and
farre
enough
from
the
dangers
of
the
Ocean
.
Nothing
is
wanting
to
the
consummation
of
our
happinesse
:
to
keepe
vs
in
our
owne
Countrey
,
in
our
owne
Citie
,
in
our
owne
Houses
,
but
that
which
keepes
men
in
their
wits
,
Temperance
,
and
Thankfulnesse
.
But
doe
wee
not
requite
this
Riuer
of
Prosperitie
,
with
vngrateful
impietie
?
and
vse
the
Ocean
of
Gods
bountie
,
as
wee
doe
the
Thames
?
It
brings
vs
in
all
manner
of
prouision
;
Clothes
to
couer
vs
,
Fuell
to
warme
vs
,
Food
to
nourish
vs
,
Wine
to
cheare
vs
,
Gold
to
enrich
vs
:
and
we
in
recompense
,
foile
it
with
our
rubbish
,
filth
,
common
sewers
,
&
such
excretions
.
It
yeeldes
vs
all
manner
of
good
things
,
and
we
requite
it
with
all
plentie
of
bad
things
.
It
comes
flowing
in
with
our
commodities
,
&
we
send
it
loaden
backe
with
our
iniuries
.
Such
toward
God
is
the
impious
ingratitude
of
this
famous
Citie
,
which
else
had
no
Paralell
vnder
the
Sunne
.
Shee
may
not
vnfitly
bee
compared
to
certaine
Pictures
,
that
represent
to
diuers
beholders
,
at
diuers
stations
,
diuers
formes
.
Looking
one
way
,
you
see
a
beautifull
Virgine
:
another
way
,
some
deformed
monster
.
Cast
an
eye
vpon
her
Profession
,
shee
is
a
well
grac'd
creature
:
turne
it
vpon
her
conuersation
,
shee
is
a
mishapen
stigmaticke
.
View
her
Peace
,
shee
is
fayrer
then
the
daughters
of
men
:
viewe
her
Pride
,
the
children
of
the
Hittites
and
Amorites
are
beautious
to
her
.
Think
of
her
good
works
,
then
Blessed
art
thou
of
the
Lord
:
number
her
sinnes
,
then
How
is
that
faithfull
Citie
become
an
harlot
〈…〉
Paul
,
In
this
I
praise
her
.
To
tell
of
her
oppressions
,
and
how
many
thousands
shee
vndoes
in
a
yeare
,
you
will
say
with
him
againe
,
In
this
I
praise
her
not
.
Behold
her
like
a
Nourse
drawing
her
Brests
,
and
giuing
milke
to
Orphans
,
you
wish
her
Cup
to
runne
ouer
with
fulnesse
.
Behold
her
like
a
Horse
leech
,
sucking
the
blood
of
the
Church
,
to
feede
her
owne
sacrilegious
auarice
;
you
will
say
her
Cup
is
too
full
.
When
wee
thinke
of
her
prosperitie
,
wee
wonder
at
her
impietie
:
when
we
thinke
of
her
impietie
,
wee
wonder
at
her
prosperitie
.
O
that
her
Citizens
would
learne
to
mannage
their
liberall
fortunes
,
and
to
entertaine
the
Riuer
of
Peace
that
makes
glad
the
Citie
of
God
,
with
Humilitie
and
Sobrietie
.
That
when
Death
shall
disfranchise
them
heere
,
they
may
be
made
free
aboue
,
in
that
tryumphant
Citie
,
whose
glory
hath
neither
measure
,
nor
end
.
The
Life
of
the
Citizens
Is
Loue
:
But
let
vs
loue
them
,
because
they
loue
God
:
as
reflections
of
our
sight
,
which
glaunce
from
the
Lord
vpon
his
Image
:
if
God
haue
their
hearts
,
let
them
haue
our
hearts
.
It
is
poore
to
loue
a
man
for
that
is
about
him
:
hee
must
bee
loued
for
that
is
within
him
.
If
wee
should
account
of
men
as
we
doe
of
bagges
;
prize
them
best
that
weigh
heauiest
,
and
measure
out
our
loue
by
the
Subsidie-booke
;
honouring
a
man
because
he
is
well
cloathed
:
I
see
then
no
reason
,
but
wee
should
doe
greater
reuerence
to
the
Bason
and
Euer
on
the
stall
,
then
to
the
Goldsmith
in
the
Shop
;
and
most
humbly
salute
Sattin
&
Veluet
in
whole
pieces
,
because
their
virgin-glory
was
neuer
yet
rauished
and
abused
into
fashion
.
No
,
but
especially
let
vs
loue
others
,
because
they
feare
God
,
and
serue
Iesus
Christ
.
For
as
the
braine
is
to
the
sinewes
,
the
liuer
to
the
veines
,
and
the
heart
to
the
arteries
;
so
is
Gods
loue
to
humane
societies
:
as
the
very
soule
by
which
they
liue
,
and
the
forme
that
giues
them
being
.
Otherwise
our
companies
are
conspiracies
;
when
we
fall
in
one
with
another
,
to
fall
out
with
God
.
Let
vs
beginne
our
loues
aboue
,
deriuing
this
holy
fire
from
the
Altar
of
Heauen
;
let
our
faith
inkindle
it
at
the
heart
of
Christ
,
and
then
like
the
Cherubins
,
wee
shall
looke
graciously
one
vpon
another
,
while
all
faithfully
looke
vp
to
the
Mercy-seate
of
God
.
The
generall
State
of
this
Citie
.
This
is
the
Corollary
of
all
;
Looke
wee
vpon
our
owne
Nation
,
the
happy
Module
of
this
Citie
of
peace
.
It
was
sayd
,
that
in
Rome
a
man
might
see
all
Countries
:
and
the
Romans
vsed
to
solace
themselues
;
It
is
good
looking
on
a
Map
of
the
World
,
vbi
nihil
in
orbe
videmus
alienum
,
when
wee
find
nothing
in
the
world
which
is
not
our
owne
.
What
doth
the
whole
earth
produce
,
which
is
not
yeelded
to
our
enioying
?
What
was
once
sayd
of
Ormus
,
is
true
of
this
Citie
,
Turne
the
world
into
a
Ring
,
and
this
is
the
Diamond
of
it
.
Like
to
Gideons
Fleece
,
it
hath
been
wet
with
the
dewe
of
heauen
,
when
drought
was
on
the
whole
earth
besides
:
Or
like
Nylus
,
which
keeps
within
the
Bankes
,
when
other
Riuers
ouerflow
their
continents
.
Some
Nations
haue
peace
,
but
without
the
Truth
:
other
haue
the
Trueth
,
but
without
Peace
:
wee
haue
both
Truth
and
Peace
.
Our
neighbours
haue
beene
exercised
with
troubles
,
whirled
about
with
hostile
tumults
;
their
eares
affrighted
with
the
thunder
of
those
murdering
pieces
:
their
eyes
agashed
with
their
Temples
and
Tabernacles
flaming
about
their
heads
:
Infants
bleeding
vpon
the
stones
,
and
their
amazed
mothers
rauished
ere
they
can
bee
permitted
to
die
.
The
shrikes
of
the
dying
,
and
slauery
of
the
liuing
,
vnder
the
mercilesse
hands
of
a
killing
or
insulting
aduersary
;
these
haue
beene
their
distracting
obiects
:
none
of
them
come
neere
vs
.
There
is
no
rifling
of
houses
,
no
flying
to
refuges
,
no
rotting
in
Dungeons
,
no
ruinating
of
Monuments
,
no
swelling
the
chanels
with
blood
,
no
fiering
of
Cities
,
no
Rapes
of
Virgines
,
no
dashing
of
Babes
against
the
stones
,
nor
casting
them
,
as
they
droppe
from
their
mothers
wombes
,
into
their
mothers
flames
.
But
in
stead
of
these
,
the
truth
of
the
Gospell
is
preached
,
pietie
professed
,
the
practise
of
it
encouraged
;
Grace
promising
,
and
Peace
performing
,
blessed
rewards
.
That
is
verified
in
vs
,
which
is
recorded
of
the
dayes
of
Solomon
;
That
hee
had
peace
on
all
sides
round
about
him
:
and
Iudah
&
Israel
dwelt
safely
,
euery
man
vnder
his
Vine
,
and
vnder
his
Figgetree
,
from
Dan
to
Beersheba
.
Or
as
Syluius
sayd
of
Rhodes
;
Semper
in
sole
sita
est
.
The
Sun-shine
of
mercy
embraceth
vs
,
and
hath
made
vs
a
day
of
peace
,
not
shorter
then
sixty
yeres
:
the
fauours
of
God
ouer
shadowing
vs
,
as
the
Cherubins
did
the
Mercie-Seat
.
I
know
that
Rome
frets
at
this
,
and
let
the
Harlot
rage
her
heart
out
:
shee
thunders
out
Curses
,
but
(
praised
bee
God
)
wee
neuer
more
prospered
,
then
when
the
Pope
most
cursed
vs
.
Yea
,
O
Lord
,
thogh
they
curse
,
doe
thou
blesse
:
their
thunder
doth
more
fear
then
hurt
,
thy
fauour
doth
more
good
then
they
can
blast
.
Conuert
or
confound
them
that
haue
euill
will
at
Sion
:
&
still
let
vs
inherit
thy
Peace
,
that
thou
mayst
inherit
our
praise
.
This
is
the
Reward
of
Peace
,
and
of
all
those
that
in
sincerity
of
heart
loue
her
:
the
God
of
peace
shall
be
with
them
.
There
be
six
kinds
of
peace
,
but
the
peace
of
God
containes
all
the
rest
.
The
peace
of
God
passeth
all
vnderstanding
:
therefore
whosoeuer
looseth
this
peace
,
hath
a
losse
past
all
vnderstanding
.
But
Christ
foretold
vs
,
that
in
the
world
wee
shall
haue
no
peace
.
the
righteous
shal
reioyce
when
they
see
the
vengeance
,
and
wash
their
feet
in
the
blood
of
the
wicked
.
Or
the
Lord
wil
giue
them
fauour
in
the
sight
of
their
enemies
,
and
those
that
hated
them
,
shall
cleaue
vnto
them
.
From
hence
ariseth
peace
with
our selues
:
a
conformitie
of
affection
to
reason
,
of
reason
to
grace
:
that
the
conflicts
which
a
distressed
conscience
finds
with
legall
terrors
,
shall
bee
turned
to
mild
embracements
.
Faith
leading
the
understanding
,
the
understanding
guiding
the
wil
,
the
will
ruling
the
operatiue
powers
,
&
Christ
Iesus
gouerning
all
.
For
indeed
hee
is
the
Fountaine
of
peace
,
through
him
beeing
iustified
by
faith
,
haue
peace
with
God
.
Through
the
corruption
of
our
nature
,
and
Iustice
of
Gods
nature
,
we
are
enemies
:
and
there
is
no
reconciliation
,
but
through
the
blood
o
the
euerlasting
Couenant
.
He
reconciles
vs
to
God
,
as
Ioab
did
Absolon
to
Dauid
by
the
woman
of
Tekoah
:
when
the
whole
family
rose
vp
,
&
said
,
Deliuer
him
that
smote
his
brother
,
that
wee
may
take
his
life
for
the
life
of
the
slaine
:
and
so
the
father
&
mother
shal
haue
no
name
nor
remainder
vpon
earth
.
God
hath
two
sorts
of
sons
Angels
&
men
:
the
Angels
that
fel
,
are
lost
for
euer
:
men
fel
,
if
they
were
lost
too
,
where
should
God
haue
sonnes
?
I
know
that
he
needs
not
man
:
he
hath
stil
the
elect
Angels
,
and
is
able
to
raise
sonnes
of
stones
:
he
can
want
nothingwhile
he
possesseth
himself
.
Wel
,
yet
in
mercy
Christ
reconciles
vs
:
Dauid
askes
,
Is
not
the
hand
of
Ioab
in
all
this
?
so
we
may
admire
,
Is
not
the
hand
of
Iesus
in
all
this
?
Yes
,
hee
hath
made
our
peace
.
The
Minister
alwayes
ends
his
publicke
deuotions
with
the
peace
of
God
,
&
the
blessing
of
this
Peace
rest
vpon
vs
.
Thus
wee
haue
a
reall
abridgment
of
this
mystical
Citie
of
Peace
;
happy
euery
way
.
Vigilancie
is
her
Officer
of
Peace
;
that
hath
an
eye
in
the
darkest
angles
,
and
discouers
the
first
conceptions
of
strife
.
Discipline
is
her
Clerke
of
the
peace
,
that
keepes
the
Records
,
and
indicts
offenders
.
Authoritie
is
her
Iustice
of
peace
:
that
if
any
will
not
be
ruled
,
binds
them
ouer
to
the
peace
.
Equitie
is
her
Burse
,
where
men
exchange
kindnes
for
kindnes
:
on
whose
stayres
Iniurie
and
imposture
durst
neuer
set
their
foule
feet
.
Truth
is
her
Standard
,
which
with
the
Trumpet
of
Fame
shall
resound
her
happines
to
all
nations
.
Plenty
is
her
Treasurer
,
Liberalitie
her
Almoner
,
Conscience
her
Chancelor
,
Wisdome
her
Counseller
,
Prayer
her
Clerk
of
the
Closet
,
Faith
her
Crowne
,
Iustice
her
Scepter
,
Masculine
Vertues
her
Peeres
,
Graces
her
Attendants
,
and
Nobilitie
her
Maid
of
Honor.
All
her
Garments
are
greene
and
orient
;
all
her
paths
bee
Milke
,
her
words
Oracles
,
and
her
works
Miracles
:
making
the
blind
to
see
,
and
the
lame
to
goe
,
by
a
mercifull
supply
to
their
defects
.
Her
breath
is
sweeter
then
the
new
blowen
Rose
;
millions
of
soules
lie
sucking
their
life
from
it
:
and
the
smell
of
her
garments
is
like
the
smel
of
Lebanon
.
Her
smiles
are
more
reuiuing
then
the
Vertumnall
Sunne-shine
:
and
her
fauours
,
like
seasonable
dewes
,
spring
vp
flowers
and
fruits
wheresoeuer
shee
walks
.
Holinesse
is
the
Canopie
of
State
ouer
her
head
,
and
Tranquilitie
the
Arras
where
she
sets
her
foot
.
All
her
Seruants
wait
in
order
;
and
can
with
contentfull
knowledge
,
distinguish
and
accept
their
owne
places
.
Her
Court
is
an
Image
of
Paradise
;
all
her
channels
slow
with
milke
,
and
her
Conduits
runne
wine
.
Enuy
and
murmuring
,
as
priuy
to
their
owne
guilt
,
flye
from
her
Presence
.
Her
Guard
consists
not
of
men
,
but
Angels
:
and
they
pitch
their
Tents
about
her
Palace
.
Lastly
,
hauing
preserued
and
blessed
all
her
children
on
earth
,
shee
goes
with
them
to
heauen
;
is
welcomed
into
the
armes
of
her
Father
,
inuested
Queene
with
a
Diadem
of
glory
,
&
possessed
of
those
ioyes
,
vnto
which
Time
shall
neuer
put
An
End
.
