Is
there
no
balme
at
Gilead
?
is
there
no
Physitian
there
?
why
then
is
not
the
health
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
recouered
?
SIcke
is
the
daughter
of
Sion
;
and
the
complexion
of
England
giues
her
not
to
be
sound
.
If
shee
feele
her
own
pulse
,
and
examin
the
Symptomes
of
her
ilnes
,
her
works
of
disobedience
;
shee
must
confesse
that
her
health
is
empaired
,
or
if
shee
feele
it
not
,
shee
is
obstupe●ied
.
The
Coast
I
am
bound
for
,
is
Israel
:
but
(
like
faithfull
Merchants
)
if
I
can
traffique
or
transport
thence
any
good
commodity
into
our
own
country
,
I
will
venter
the
welcom
of
it
.
Israel
&
England
,
though
they
lie
in
a
diuers
climat
,
may
be
said
right
Paralels
;
not
so
vnfit
in
Cosmographicall
as
fit
in
Theologicall
comparison
.
And
sauing
Israels
Apostacie
,
and
punishment
for
it
,
wee
neede
not
thinke
it
harsh
to
be
sampled
.
They
could
plead
much
of
Gods
mercy
;
if
wee
can
speake
of
more
,
let
vs
thankefully
embrace
our
transcendent
happinesse
.
Two
maine
passages
are
directed
my
discourse
to
saile
through
;
which
shall
limit
my
speech
,
and
your
attentions
for
this
time
.
1.
The
Patient

2.
The
Passion
.
The
Sicke
,
and
the
disease
.
The
Person
labouring
of
griefe
,
is
the
daughter
of
Israel
:
her
Passion
or
griefe
is
sicknes
:
Why
is
not
the
health
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
recouered
?
These
two
coastes
will
affoorde
vs
many
subordinate
obseruations
,
worthy
both
our
trauels
.
The
Patient
,
whom
we
must
visite
,
is

Oh

,
and
the
sonne
of
my
floore
,
for
the
floore

,
or
the
corne
of

.
And
Augustine
obserues
on
the
72.
Psalme
,
that
by
the
children
of
the
poore
,
is
meant
the
poore
themselues
.
This
is
an
abstractiue
Phrase
,
and
vox
indulgentis
;
implying
propense
fauour
in
the
speaker
,
and
tendernes
in
the
person
spoken
of
;
filia
populi
.
It
is
a
word
of
relation
,
simply
taken
:
for
daughter
depends
on
the
respect
of
Parent
.
Here
it
is
Phrasicall
,
and
therefore
not
to
be
forced
.
Yet
because
(
cunctae
apices
)
euery
letter
and
accent
in
holy
West
is
diuinely
significant
;
let
vs
not
neglectfully
passe
it
ouer
,
without
some
vsefull
obseruation
.
There
is
somewhat
in
it
,
Filia
non
Filius
dicitur
,
the
name
of
Daughter
,
not
of
Sonne
is
here
giuen
to
Israel
.
Iaraels
offspring
,
must
be
a
Daughter
,
that
she
may
be
married
to
the
God
of
Israels
Sonne
.
Christ
is
the
beloued
:
the
Church
is
his
Spouse
.

Let

be
glad
and
reioyce
,
and
giue
honour
to
him
:
for
the
marriage
of
the

come
,
and
his
wife
hath
made
her selfe
ready
:
and
verse

Blessed
are
they
that
are

to

Supper
of

Thus
God
the
Father
,
that
had
a
Sonne
by
eternall
generation
,
hath
now
a
Daughter
also
by
adoption
.
Hence
the
Church
is
called
the
Kings
daughter
,

because
shee
is
wedded
to
the
Kings
sonne
.
God
is
a
Father
in
many
respects
.
-

In
Creation
,
Is
not
he
thy
father
,
that
hath
bought
thee
?
Hath
hee
not
made
thee
,
and
established
thee
?
Hee

and
they
haue
rebelled
against
me

We
are
brought
vp
in
this
House
of
this
world
,
and
fed
from
the
table
of
his
blessings
.

In
compassion
,
Like
as
a
Father
pittieth
his
children
,
so
the
Lord
pittieth
them
that
feare
him
.
Yeeld
,
that
a
mother
(
which
is
rare
and
vnnaturall
)
can
forget
the
Sonne
of
her
wombe
;
yet
God
cannot
forget
the
children
of
his
Election
.

In

Whom
the
Lord

.
Singulari●er
.
Generali●er
.
Speciali●er
.
All
these
may
be
reduced
to
three
,
God
is
a
Father
singularly
,
generally
,
specially
.
1.
singularly
,
the
Father
of
Christ
,
by
nature
,
2
,
generally
,
the
Father
of
all
men
,
and
al
things
by
creation
.
3.
specially
,
the
Father
of
the
Elect
by
adoption
.
The
first
priuiledge
belongs
onely
to
Christ
.
The
second
to
many
,
who
haue
made
themselues
by
Apostacie
the
children
of
Beliall
.
The
third
is
blessed
,
and
neuer
to
bee
forfeited
.
This
is
a
happy
aduancement
,
that
the
daughter
of
Sion
is
made
the
daughter
of
God
;
whom
his
equall
and
eternal
sonne
hath
vouchsafed
to
marry
.
It
was
no
smal
preferment
in
Dauids
ōpinion
,
by
wedding
Saules
daughter
,
to
bee
made
sonne
in
Law
to
a
King
:
how
farre
higher
doth
the
Churches
honour
transcend
,
that
by
marrying
the
sonne
of
God
,
is
made
daughter
in
Law
to
the
King
of
Kinges
?
Specially
,
when
this
bond
is
indissoluble
by
the
hand
of
death
;
vncancellable
by
the
sentence
of
man
,
vndiuorceable
by
any
defect
or
default
in
the
Spouse
:
for
hee
that
chose
her
to
himselfe
,
will
preserue
her
from
all
cause
,
why
hee
may
not
take
pleasure
in
her
beauty
.
And
as
Christ
now
in
heauen
,
dwels
with
his
Church
on
earth
by
grace
:
so
shee
,
though
partly
now
on
earth
,
dwels
with
him
in
heauen
;
all
her
members
being
Burgesses
of
that
celestiall
Corporation
.
Since

Aug
Our
conuersation
is
in
heauen
,
whence
also
wee
looke
for
the
Sauiour
,
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
Thus
Augustine
,
Et
ille
adhuc
deorsum
est
,
&
no●
iam
s●●sum
.
His
mercies
are
still
descending
to
vs
,
our
affections
ascending
to
him
.
The
desires
of
the
faithfull
Spouse
are
with
her
Beloued
.
Such
is
the
insolubility
of
that
misticall
vnion
,
which
no
eloquence
of
man
can
expresse
,
no
violence
of
diuels
shal
suppresse
.
Therefore
ascendamus
interim
corde
,
vt
sequamur
corpore
:
let
vs
send
vp
our
affections
before
,
that
our
persons
may
follow
after
.
As
Christ
hath
sent
thee
downe
his
spirit
,
as
a
pawne
and
pledge
of
this
assurance
:
so
doe
thou
send
him
vp
thy
heart
,
for
a
token
of
thy
acceptance
:
yea
of
thy
hopefull
expectation
and
desire
to
bee
with
him
:
Minus
anima
promisit
se
Christo
,
quae
non
praemisit
se
Christo
:
that
soule
hath
nothing
lesse
then
vowed
it selfe
to
Christ
,
that
houers
and
hankers
about
the
world
,
and
is
loath
to
come
at
him
.
This
is
ineffable
,
inestimable
happines
.
Hence
the
daughter
of
Israel
(
vnderstand
me
not
topically
,
but
typically
;
not
Israel
in
the

,
but

which
is

or
(
at

from

)

apportion
all
the
riches
of
her

If

:
it
is
more
liuingly
,
more
louingly
(

)
the
speech
of
a

.
The
Bride
(
among

of

Mariage
is
a
strong
bond
by
Gods
ordinance
,
and
knowes
no
other
methode
but
composition
.
God
,
that
increation
made
two
of
one
,
by
marriage
made
one
of
two
.
Hence
the
Daughter
of
Israell
is
made
one
with
the
sonne
of
God
;
by
an
vnion
,
which
the
heart
may
feele
,
but
no
art
describe
.
Those
gracious
and
glorious
riches
,
which
the
master
of
all
the
world
,
is

of

are

not
by

but
by

Israel
is
called
by
the
name

not
of

Sion

The

As

the

The

may
bee
called
the

for
her

The

in

giues
her
the
title
of
Virgin

with
this
of

Chap.

Again
I

thou
shalt

be

shalt
go

This
may
insinuate
(

the

of

So
Christ
testifieth

Thou
art

Now

consists
in
a

in

For

1.
First
,
the
Deuill
,
who
comes
like
an
old
dotard
,
neatly
tricked
and
licked
vp
:
his
wrinckled
hide
smoothed
and
sleeked
with
tentations
;
he
comes
euer
masqu'd
,
and
dares
not
shew
his
face
.
Take
away
his
vizour
,
and
the
soule
is
worse
then
a
witch
that
can
affect
him
.
And
as
when
hee
temptes
wretched
Sorceresses
to
some
reall
couenant
with
him
,
hee
assumes
the
forme
of
familiar
and
vnfeared
creatures
;
left
in
a
horrid
and
strange
shape
they
should
not
endure
him
.
So
in
his

circumuentions
,
for
the
more
facile
,
flie
and
suspect●esse
insinuation
into

hearts
;
Hee

transformes
himselfe
into
an
Angell
of
light
.
The
promises
of
this
Sutour
are
large
and
faire
;
hee
offers
the
soule
,
if
it
will
bee
his
spouse
,
a
greater
Ioynture
.

These
things
to
the
wicked
doth
Sathan
forme
in
speculation
,
though
not
performe
in
action

Hee
is
an
ill
wooer
that
wanteth
wordes
.
Heare
his
voyce
,
and
see
not
his
face
;
belieue
his
promises
,
and
consider
him
not
as
a
lyer
,
as
a
murderer
,
and
he
will
goe
neere
to
carry
thy
hart
from
all
.
But
he
that
hath
two
infirmities
,
nay
enormities
that
betray
him
:
a
stinking
breath
,
and
a
halting
foot
.
1
For
his
breath
,
though
it
smell
of
sulphure
,
and
the
hote
steame
of
sinne
and
hell
,
yet
hee
hath
art
to
sweeten
it
.
So
hee
can
rellish
couetice
with
thrift●nes
,
voluptuousnes
with
good
diet
,
idlenes
with
good
quiet
,
drunkennes
,
because
it
is
very
sowre
,
fulsome
,
and
odious
●u●n
to
nature
and
reason
,
shall
be
season'd
,
sweeten'd
with
good
fellowship
.
Malice
is
the
argument
of
a
noble
Spirit
,
and
murder
the
maintenance
of
reputation
.
Lust
is
the
direction
of
nature
,
and
swearing
a
gracefull
testimony
to
the
truth
of
our
speeches
.
With
such
luscious
confections
he
labours
to
conserue
his
lungs
from
stinking
If
it
were
not
for
those
mists
and
shadowes
,
sinne
would
want
both
fautors
and
factors
.
2
But
his
lame
foot
cannot
bee
hidden
(
as
they
once
foolishly
fabled
among
the
vulgar
,
that
his
clouen
foote
could
not
bee
changed
)
for
his
disobedience
is
manifest
.
If
hee
saith
,
Steale
,
and
God
saieth
,
Thou
shalt
not
steale
:
Sweare
,
when
God
saith
,
Sweare
not
,
dissemble
,
when
hee
cries
,
Woe
against
hypocrites
:
bee
an
vsurer
,
when
God
sayeth
,
thou
shalt
not
then
dwell
in
my
glory
:
what
pretences
soeuer
glosse
his
Text
,
his
lamenesse
cannot
bee
hidden
.
All
his
pollicy
cannot
deuise
a
boot
to
keepe
him
from
this
halting
.
This
is
the
first
&
worst
Sutour
.

The
World
comes
in
like

with
more

then
crownes

sons
coueted

He
striues
to
be

but
his
mirth
is
madnesse

Hee
cannot

For

keepe
Christmas
all

though
not

Hee
hath
three
inducements
to
perswade
,
and
three
defects
to
disswade
the
soule
from
accepting
his
loue
.
If
the
former
induce
any
to
him
,
let
the
latter
reduce
them
from
him
.
1.
His
first
allurement
is
a
mellifluous
language
,
able
to
blanch
mischiefe
.
His
words
drop
Nectar
,
as
if
hee
had
beene
brought
vp
at
Court
.
And
by
his
Logicke
hee
can
make
quidlibit
ex
quolibet
,
anything
of
euery
thing
:
so
by
his
Rhetoricke
hee
can
make
(
stones
)
hard
hearted
worldlings
dance
to
his
pipe
,
as
it
is
fabled
of
Orpheus
,

non
tam
ver●a

quam
mella
fluunt
,
as

Euery
syllable
is
like
a
drop
of
honey
from
his
lips
.
Magicis

There
lies
a
magicke
in
his
tempt●ng
speech
,
able
to
inchant
,
and
transforme
mens
hearts
,
making
a
voluptuous
man
a
hogge
,
an
oppressor
,
a
Wolfe
,
the
lustfull
a
Goate
,
the
Drunkard
a
Diuell
.
His
arguments
are
not
empty
,
but
carry
the
weight
of
golden
eloquence
,
the
musicall
sound
of
profite
and
pleasure
.
2
Besides
his
captiuing
elocution
,
hee
mends
the
ill
fabricke
of
his
person
with
rich
acoutrements
.
He
weares
all
his
cloathes
,
in
the
fashion
.
Hee
hath
change
of
suites
.
Hee
puts
on
pride
,
when
he
goes
to
the
Court
:
Bribery
,
when
hee
goes
to
the
Hall
:
Ebriety
,
when
to
a
Tauerne
:
Prodigality
,
when
he
shufles
in
among
Gallants
:
Vsurie
,
when
hee
would
walke
in
the

:
&
Oppression
,
when
hee
would
ride
downe
into
the
Country
.
Onely
,
Auarice
is
the
girdle
of
his
loines
,
he
is
neuer
without
it
.
It
is
fashion
,
to
be
of
any
fashion
,
&
to
apply
himselfe
to
thy
humour
,
whom
he
courts
.
He
hath
a
sute
to
speed
of
his
suite
,
to
please
thy
affection
.

This
is
not
all
,
he
tenders
thee
a
faire
and
large
iointure
.
Giue
him
but

,
and
he

shall

and
thou

shal
come

(
But
happy
is
hee
,
that
can
bee
rich
with
honesty
,
or
poore
with
content
.
)
These
are
the
glories
,
whereof
hee
would
enamour
thee
:
thus
would
hee
possesse
thee
with
his
possessions
.
But
hee
hath
three
deterringes
:
heare
them
.
-
1
He
hath
sore
eyes
,
bleare
and
raw
with
cares
:
for
hee
is
euer
in
expectation
,
either
of
remedy
to
griefes
,
or
supply
to
wants
.
What
opulency
can
boast
immunity
from
sorrow
,
exemption
from
crosses
?
And
such
is
the
secure
worldlings
impatience
,
when
once
angred
with
afflictions
,
that
a
little
misery
makes
him
greatly
miserable
He
makes

In

The
lust
of
the
flesh
,
the
lust
of
the
eyes
,
the
pride
of
life
is
of
the
world
.
Wee
renounced
in
our
Baptism
with
the
world
,
pompes
and
vanities
Riot
,
lust
,
intemperance
,
Epicurisme
,
dissolutenes
are
members
of
the
world
as
well
as
auarice
.
Tam
I
say
,
if
not
tantum
.
And
therfore
our
Sauiour
by
that
terrible
sentence
against
rich
men
intends
not
couetousnesse
for
a
sole
and
singular
obstacle
,
(
yeelde
it
a
principall
)
but
pride
,
ambition
,
lust
,
vaine-glory
,
luxurie
,
the
effects
of
an
opulent
state
,
as
well
as
couetice
.
There
are
more
burdens
to
loade
the
Cammell
when
he
should
passe
through
the
smal
posterne
of
Grace
,
(
that
needlesse
eye
)
then
onely
auarous
affections
.
What
lesson
of
vice
is
not
the
rich
man
apt
to
learne
?
Therefore
this
makes
the
world
haue
swolne
legges
,
as
the
other
sore
eyes
.
Hee
is
blinde
,
hee
is
lame
,
both
ill
qualities
in
a
Sutour
.

He
hath
a
very
weak
tenur
of
al
he
possesseth
,
he
is
Gods
tenant
at

,
&
hath
leasse
of
nothing
,
but
durante

bene
placito
,
during
the
great
Landlord
of

earth
his
fauour
.
At

,
his

is
but
for

of
life
;
&
that
a
warish
,
short
,
and
transient
life
,
scarce
so
long
as
the
first
line
of
an
indenture
.
Nay
,
hee
,
hath
right
to
nothing
;
for
he
holds
not
in
Capite
,
from
the
Lord
of
all
,
Iesus

Therefore

be

For
the
right
of
the
creatures
lost
in
the
first
Adam
,
cannot
be
recouered
,
but
by

.
So
that
hee
enters
on

as
an

and
possesseth
them
as
an
Vsurper
his
title
being
so

The

This
Sutour
comes
boldly
in
,
like
a

childe

hopes
to
speede
for

acquaintance
.
He
can
plead

Like

togither
,
and

together
,
if
the

Court
of

and

had
not

And
euen
in
the
sanctified
,
this
impudent
,
wooer
cannot
be
quite
shaken
off
,
till
death
shall
at
once
deliuer
that
to
death
,
vs
to
life
.
For
though

with
the
mind
,
I
delight
in
the
law
of
God
;
yet
I
see
another
law
in
my
members
rebelling
against
the
law
of
my
minde
,
and
bringing
me
vnto
captiuity
to
the
law
of

His
companie
is
wearisom

his

tedious
,
to
the

Oh
wretched
man
that
I

who
shall
deliuer
mee
from
the
bodie
of
this

I
thanke
God

So
then
with
the
minde
we
serue
the
Law
of
God
,
but
with
the
flesh
the
law
of
sinne
.
He
will
perpetually
vrge
his
sute
;
and
not
after
many
reiections
be
said
nay
.
Thy
soule
cannot
be
rid
of
him
,
so
long
as
thou
holdest
him
in
any
hope
of
successe
.
And
so
long
he
will
hope
,
as
thou
giuest

cold

drawne
on

repulse

take
that

that

In

preuailes

wearles
him
with
importunity
,

a
peremptory
answere
hath
put
him

I
haue

I
haue
surnamed

,
though
thou
hast
not

Here
might
be
inferred
the
inutterable
compassion
of
God
to
Israel
.
It
is
my
people
,
that
is
thus
sicke

I
haue

obseruation

That

direct

is
the
strangenesse
of
this
complaint

Babilon
,
Israel
hath
the
best
meanes
for

therfore
the
more
inexcusable
her
sicknes
.
They
should
haue
beene
so
maner'd

as
they
were
manur'd
;
and
brought
forth
grapes
according

:
Sidon

Niniuch
Ierusalem

In

was
no
Prophet
,
was
lesse
wickednesse
:
in
Niniueh
,
where
lesse

greater

This
conuiction
was
demonstrated
in
many
particulars

The
prayse
of

is
the
shame
of

The

The
returning
of
the
strange
Leper
,
with
a
song
of
thanksgiuing
in
his
mouth
,
was
an
exprobration
to
all
the
nine
;
when
Christ
had
the
tythe
of
a
person
,
he
least
expected
.
God
reproacheth
this
daughter
of
Sion
,
if
their
abominations
were
a
very
little
thing

thou
wast
corrupted
more

It

God
sowed

a

can
brooke
this
in

as
hee
forsooke

in

when

he

work

haue

often
the
Church
compared
to
a
body

Iesus

.
In

,
we
haue
it
likened
to

man
,
Cuius

Christus
,
whose
soule
is
Christ
.
Till
we
all
come
to
a
perfect
man
&c.
Now
the
soule
encreaseth
in
a
man
,
not
augmentatiuely
,
but
secundum
vigorem
;
transfusing
into
the
body
her
virtuall
powers

operations
more

Sickenesse
then
to
the
Church

,
yet
may
the
body
be
distempered
:
her
doctrine
may
be
sound
,
her
members
want

Why
is
not
the
health
of
the
daughter
&c.
But
to
descend
from
the
vniuersall
to
a
particular
,
from
the
inuisible
to
a
visible
Church
;
this
may
be
sicke
,
1.
Either
by
some
inbred
distemperature
,
2.
or
by
the
accession
of
some
outward
malady

There
may

respect

to
afflict

Inwardly
,
Corruption
may
gather
on
it
by
degrees
,
&
put
it
in
neede
of
physicke
.
For
as
the
naturall
body
of
man
,
when
it
is
ouer
charged
in
the
veines
and
parts
with
ranke
and
rotten
humours
,
which
it
hath
gathered
by
misdiet
,
surfetting
,
or
infest
ayres
;
the
man
growes
dangerously
sicke
,
til
by
some
fit
euacuation
he
can
be
discharged
of
that
burthen
.
So
the
body
of
a
Church
being
infected
with
humours
,
and
swolne
with
tumours
of
vnsound
doctrine
,
of
vnsounder
life
,
superstitious
ceremonies
,
corrupting
the
vitall
pores
and
powers
therof
:
troubled
with
the
colde
shakings
of
indeuotion
,
or
taken
with
the
numnesse
of
induration
,
or
terrified
with
windy
passions
of
turbulent
spirits
.
cannot
be
at
ease
,
till
due
reformation
hath
cured
it
.
Now
such
a
Church
sometimes
is
more
swelling
in
bignes
,
&
oftents
a
more
bulky
shew
;
but
once
truly
purged
of
such
crude
superfluities
,
it
becomes
lesse
great
and
numerous
,
but
withall
more
sound
,
apt
and
fit
for
spirituall
promotions
.
Our
particular
Church
of
England
,
now
fined
from
the
drosse
of
Rome
,
had
a
true
substantiall
beeing
before
,
but
hath
gotten
a
better
being
,
by
the
repurgation
wrought
by

Princes

Church
among
vs

for
it
is
Catholike
and
vniuersall
:
but

floore
was
full
of
chaffe
.

demand
where
our
Church
was
before

time

We
answere
,
it
lay
hid
vnder
a
great
bulke
of
chaffe
:
and
Mat.

since
Christ
vouchsafed
to
come
with
his
fanne
to
purge
it
of
the
chaffe
,
it
now
shewes
it selfe
with
greater
eminence
,
and
is
clearer
both
in
shew
and
substance
.
It
was
before
a
wedge
of
pure
gold
,
but
comming
into
the
hands
of
impostors
,
was
by
their
mixtures
&
sophistications
,
for
gain
and
such
sinister
respects
,
augmented
into
a
huge
body
and
masse
,
retaining
still
an
outward
faire
shew
and
tincture
of
golde
.
They
demand
,
where
was
the
golde
?
demonstrate
the
place
.
I
answere
in
that
Masse
.
But
for
the
extracting
therof
,
and
purifying
it
from
drosse
,
God
hath
giuen
vs
the
true
touchstone
,
his
sacred
Word
,
which
can
onely
manifest

true
Church
:
and
withall
reuerend

that
haue
beene
instruments
to

Ignorance

Experience

this

who

it

stick
not

answere
this
laid

auerring
paradoxically

that
their

was

the

by

Needs

the

be

where
the
Gouernors
,
like
ill
Physitians
haue
purged
away
the
good
humour
,
and
left
the
bad
behind
them
.
When
they
haue
imprison'd

,
scourged
,
famished
,
drowned
,
burnt
the
innocent
,
and
rewarded
the
wretched
instruments
of

When

hath
been

When

as

they

When

This
is
the
main
blow
of
persecution

Treason
is
a
fearefull
and
prodigious
euill
.
Needs
must
the

whose

They
meane

I
confesse
that
this
euill
is
not
so
properly
(
in
strict
termes
)
a
sickenes
as
a
danger
.
Yet
as
a
man
that
hath
ill
humours
in
him
,
though
by
good
diet
&
strength
of
nature
they
are
kept
from
vniting

and
casting

down
cannot
be
said
in
health
,
whiles
those
enemies
●emaine
within
him

watching

So
the
Church
,
though

not
s●nsit

of
the

which
(
such

They
would
haue
swell'd
their

till
it

runne
ouer

,
and
comprised
in
one
worke
(
Mille

innumerrble
stratagems
,
the
easiest
whereof
was
the
intention
of
murther
;
till
they
had
made
a
Catholicke
end
with
an
hereticke
church
,
as
they
call
it
:
But
the
God
of

and
traytors
make
the
land
sicke
which
they
liue
in
.
This
is
the
second
dangerous
blow
of
persecution
.
3
The
third
is
,
Seducing
a
Churches
Seers
,
and
peruerting
the
children
of
the
Prophets
,
which
is
most
commonly
done
,
rather
with
error
then
with
terror
;
by
beguiling
,
then
affrighting
them
,
I
haue
read
,
that
Iulians
cruellest
persecution
was
with
rewards
.
How
many
haue
been
wasted
ouer
the
seas
with
golden
hands
?
Promotion
rather
then
deuotion
hath
cast
many
on
the
shores
of
Rome
.
There
lies
an
exorcisme
,
an
inchanting
power
in
golde
,
that
coniures
many
weake
spirits
into
that
superstitious
circle
.
Then
at
last
home
they
come
,
and
proue
calthropes
to
wound
the
Countries
sides
,
that
breed
and
feede
them
.
Antichrists
spel
is
gold
;
and
they
that
will
worshippe
a
peece
of
red
earth
,
will
not
sticke
to
adore
that
glorious
Beast
.
Selfe-conceite
blowes
them
vp
with
a
swelling
imagination
of
their
owne
worth
&
if
our
church
doth
not
(
&
numerare
&
munerare
inter
dignissimos
)
giue
regard
&
reward
,
estimation
and
recompence
according
to
their
proude
desires
,
they
will
shift
Realme
and
Religion
too
,
for
a
hoped
guerdon
.
You
will
say
,
there
is
little
losse
to
the
body
,
in
dropping
off
of
such
rotten
members
.
It
is
true
,
that
the
dammage
is
principally
their
owne
:
yet
what
mother
doth
not
grieue
at
the
Apostacy
of
her
children
?
There
is
some
hope
,
whiles
they
are
at
home
;
little
,
when
reuolted
to
the
enemy
.
Meanetime
,
let
it
not
be
denied
,
but
the
seducers
are
persecutors
,
and
great
enemies
to
the
Churches
health
.
Thus
may
a
Church
be
outwardly
sicke
by
mans
Persecution
;
she
may
bee
sicke
also
by
Gods
affliction
.
This
is
diuerse
,
accordingly
as
our
sinnes
deserue
,
and
his
iudgement
thinkes
fit
to
punish
vs
;
1.
By
warre
,
2.
by
famine
,
3.
by
pestilence
;
the
easiest
of
them
heauy
inough
,
and
able
to
depriue
a
Church
of
health
.
Though
the
first
might
seeme
to
be
mans
weapon
,
and
so
fitter
to
haue
beene
inserted
among
the
former
persecutions
;
as
Israel
tearmed
her
enemies
,
[

4.19
Our
persecutors
are
swifter
then
the
Eagles
of
the
heauen
,
they
pursued
vs
vpon
the
mountaines
;
they
laide
waite
for
vs
in
the
wildernesse
:
yet
because
God
cals
Ashur
his
rod
:
and
it
is
He
that
sends
eyther
peace
or
warre
;
and
no
aduersary
sword
can
be
lifted
vp
against
vs
;
but
by
(
more
than
)
his
permission
;
for
he
hath
a
punishing
hand
in
it
.
Let
vs
see
how
he
can
make
his
Church
of
Israel
sicke
.

Warre
is
that
miserable
desolation
,
which
finds
a
land
before
it
like
Eden
,
and
leaues
it
behind
like
Sodome
,
and
Gomorrah
,
a
desolate
and
forsaken
wildernesse
.
Happy
are
we
that
cannot
iudge
the
terrors
of
war
,
but
by
report
&
heare-say
.
That
neuer
saw
our
towns

Cities
burning

whiles
the
flame
gaue
light
to

carry
away

That

rifled

,
our
wiues
rauished
,
our
children
bleeding
dead
on
the
pauements
,
or
sprawling
on
the
mercilesse
pikes
.
Wee
neuer
heard
the
grones
of
our
own
dying
and
the
clamors
of
our
enemles
insulting
,
confusedly
sounding
in
our
didistracted
eares
:
the
wife
breathing
out
her
life
in
the
armes
of
her
husband
,
the
children
snatched
from
the
breasts
of
their
mothers
,
as
by
the
terrour
of
their
●laughters
to
aggrauate
the
ensuing
torments
of
their
owne
.
Wee
haue
been
strangers
to
this
misery
in
passion
;
let
vs
not
be
so
in
compassion
.
Thinke
you
haue
seen
these
miseries
with
your
neighbors
eyes
,
and
felt
them
through
their
sides
.
Let
it
somewhat
touch
vs
,
that
we
haue
been
threatned
:
Octog●simus

Haue
we

the
wonderfull
yeare
of
88

an
enemie
of
a

and
truculent
spirit
;
whose
armes
were
bent
to
harmes
,
to
ruine
,
to
bloud

to

:
whose
numbers
were
like

able
to

as

:
the
Ensignes
of

were
Assurance
and

:
whiles
they
cast
lottes
vpon
our
nation
,
and
easily
swallowed
the
hope
of
our
destruction
:
a
mortall
enemie
,
an
implacable
furie
,
an
invincible
nauy
.
Loe
in
the
heate
and
height
of
all
,
our
God
laughed
them
to
scorne
,
sunke
them
,
drunke
them
vp
with
his
waues
;
tottered
,
sca●tered
them
on
the
waters
,
like
chaffe
on

of

earth
,
before
the
wind
and
tempest
of
his
indignation
.
All
their
intentions
,
their
contentions
,
their
presumption
of
conquest
were
disappointed
,
dissolued
,
discomfited
.
These
things
,
though

haue
not
seene

let
our

children
to
the
last

that

inhabite

who

and
that
in
a
time
,
when
comfort
would
haue
been
most
seasonably
welcome
,
trembling

,
pulling
dead
bodies
into
the
graues
with
hookes
,
or
rolling
them
into

.
Turne
backe
your

,
that
now
liue
in
the
Appeniue
height
of
peace
and
health
,
and
thinke
you
see
the
lamentable
state
of
your
Country
,
as
few
years
past
discouered
it
.
Imagine
you
behold
the
hand-wringing
widdowes
,
beating
their
bosomes
ouer
their
departing
husbands
:
the
distracted
mothers
falling
into
swounes
,
whiles
they
kisse
the
insensible
colde
lippes
of
their
breathlesse
Infants
:
poore
desolate
Orphanes
,
that
now
mourne
the
vntimely
losse
of
their
parentes
,
as
being
made
by
yeares
more
sensible
,
of
their
want
,
then
when
deathes
pestilentiall
hand
tooke
them
away
:
the
loude
grones
and
strugling
pangs
of
soules
departing
:
seruants
crying
out
for
Masters
,
Wiues
for
Husbands
,

,

;
griefe
in
euery
house
,
striking
vp
alarums
;
belles
heauily
tolling
in

,
ringing
out
in

Numbers
of

,
that

their

confusedly
thrust

They
haue
marble
bosomes
that
will
not
be
shaken
with
these
terrors
,
and
haue
sucked
Tygresses
in
the
wildernesse
that
cannot
compassionate
these
calamities
.
How
did
they
grieue
a
Church
to
feele
them
,
when
they
affect

afflict
,
and

vs
Sicke

I

you

long

for
an

I

What

Why
is
not
the
health
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
recouered
?
WE
haue
described
the
Person
,
the
Church
of
Israel
,
as
she
is
her
own
,
as
shee
is
her
owners
:
what
in
regarde
of
her selfe
,
what
in
respect
of
her
God
.
It
remaines
now
only
to
enquire
,
how
shee
is
affected
.
Shee
is
Sicke
;
which
is
necessarily
implied
from
Gods
complaint
.
Why
is
not
the
health
of
my
daughter
recouered
?
She
was
sicke
,
and
so
sicke
,
that
the
Prophet
complaines
,
[
a
](A01281-e14060-b)
a
Micah
.
1.9
.
Her
wound
is
incurable
,
for
it
is
come
(
euen
to
the
heart
)
vnto
Iudah
.
Incurable
,
in
regard
of
her
owne
misery
,
not
of
her
Sauiours
mercy
.
She
was
low
brought
in
the
Babilonish
Captiuity
.
[
b
](A01281-e14100-b)
b
Esay
.
1.9
.
Except
the
Lord
of
hostes
had
left
vnto
vs
a
very
small
remnant
,
wee
should
haue
beene
as
Sodome
,
[
c
](A01281-e14120-b)
c
Lam.
3.22
.
and
like
vnto
Gomorrah
?
It
is
of
the
Lords
mercies
,
that
wee
are
not
consumed
,
because
his
compassions
(
though
our
obedience
)
faile
not
.
But
her
honour
lay
in
the
dust
,
when
her
Apostacie
had
forfeited
her
happinesse
:
Superstition
taking
the
vpper
hand
of
Deuotion
,
and
the
traditions
of
man
getting
the
start
and
ascendency
of
Gods
precepts
;
When
her
disease
grew
too
frenzy
,
and
her
sicknesse
so
excluding
from
it selfe
all
recouerable
hope
,
that
shee
had
slaine
her
Physitian
,
and
killed
him
that
should
haue
carried
her
.
Whence
it
appeares
,
that
a
particular
visible
Church
might
and
may
fall
away
from
grace
,
and
haue
the
[

.
Candlesticke
remooued
.
The
Papists
bragge
of
their
numerous
multitude
,
and
promontorious
celsitude
.
Rome
boasts
that
their
Church
stands
vpon
an
[
e

e

5
,

hill
.
So
it
doth
on
[
f
](A01281-e14290-b)
f
Reuel
.
17.9
six
hilles
too
many
.
Shee
is
mounted
high
enough
,
if
this
could
iustif●e
her
.
She
had
better
bate
of
her
height
,
and
●ise
in
her
goodnesse
.
There
may
be
a
locall
succession
,
but
if
not
in
faith
and
doctrine
,
mole
ruit
sua
,
her
toppe-heauy
weight
ouerthrowes
her
.
May
it
not
be
said
of
her
,
as
Ieremie
of
Egipt
?
[
g
](A01281-e14340-b)
g
Ier.
46.11
.
Goe
vp
into
Gilead
and
take
balms
,
Oh
virgin
the
daughter
of
Egipt
:
in
vaine
shalt
thou
vse
many
medicines
,
for
thou
shalt
not
be
cured
.
It
is
no
wonder
then
,
no
wrong
,
if
we
depart
from
her
,
that
hath
departed
from
the
truth
of
the
Gospell
,
and
faith
of
Christ
.
I
will
not
descend
into
the
view
of
her
apostacie
,
though
iust
occasion
may
seeme
heere
offred
;
but
turne
my selfe
and
speech
to
our selues
,
who
are
sound
in
doctrine
,
sicke
in
conversation
;
but
(
I
trust
)
not
without
good
hope
of
recouerie
.
But
so
soone
as
the
Romish
malignancie
heares
me
say
,
wee
are
sicke
;
they
instantly
insult
,
reproching
our
doctrine
.
But
doe
[
h
](A01281-e14440-b)
h
Tertul.
men
try
the
faith
by
the
persons
,
or
the
persons
by
the
faith
?
It
is
a
silly
argument
(
à
moribus
ad
doctrinam
)
from
the
life
to
the
doctrine
.
Yet
(
though
we
desire
and
striue
to
haue
our
owne
liues
better
)
we
feare
not
to
match
them
with
theirs
.
Our
sicknesse
would
be
esteemed
lesse
,
if
we
would
goe
to
Rome
for
a
medicine
.
(
For
the
Papist
may
better
steale
the
horse
,
than
the
Protestant
looke
on
.
)
But
so
long
as
we
haue
approoued
Phisitions
at
home
,
what
need
we
walke
so
farre
to
a
Mountebanke
?
It
is
a
false
rumour
,
there
is
no
sound
ayre
but
the
Romish
.
Is
it
not
rather
true
,
that
thence
comes
all
infection
?
And
that
they
who
haue
forsaken
vs
to
seeke
health
there
,
haue
gone
out
of
Gods
blessing
into
the
warme
Sunne
?
Our
liues
trouble
them
:
this
they
obiect
,
this
they
exprobrate
ad
nauseam
vsque
.
But
do
they
not
stumble
at
our
strawes
,
and
leape
ouer
their
owne
blockes
?
cauill
at
our
motes
,
and
forget
(
or
iustifie
)
their
owne
beames
?
The
swelling
on
the
Foxes
head
shall
be
a
horne
,
if
the
Pope
will
so
iudge
it
:
a
Catiline
,
Lopus
,
Garnet
,
Faulx
,
an
honest
man
,
a
Catholike
,
a
Saint
,
if
hee
will
so
interpret
,
so
canonize
him
.
If
I
should
but
pricke
this
ranke
vein
,
how
would
Rome
bleed
?

Vnnaturall

dethroning

with

,
if
either
the

would
forsake

Yet

be

in

Calendar
;
red
indeed

But
I
am

found

,

against

Christians
now
are
become
like
Pagans
or
worse
:
Yet
who
will
say
that
the
Religion
of
Pagans
was
better
then
the
Christians
.
The
Priest
and
Leuite
had
no
mercy
,
the
Samaritane
had
:
yet
their
Religion
was
the
true
,
and
not
the
Samaritans
.
If
some
Papists
amongst
vs
(
and
those
very
few
)
liue
in
more
formall
and
morall
honesty
;
et
this
commendeth
not
their
whole
Church
.
They
are
now
in
the
time
of
their
persecution
as
they
take
it
,
(
though
their
prosperity
and
numbers
euince
the
contrary
)
wee
are
in
our
peace
,
and
who
knowes
not
that
,
an
easie
occasion
of
wantonnesse
.
I
deny
not
,
that
wee
haue
grieuous
offenders
:
wee
mourne
and
pray
for
them
.
Doe
the
Papists
reioyce
at
this
?
Woe
to
him
that
is
glad
of
Gods
dishonour
.
Let
them
brag
their
peruersion
of
some
which
were
ours
,
but
such
and
so
affected
to
viciousnesse
.
If
wee
had
lost
more
of
Atheists
,
sacrileg●ous
Adulterers
,
l●centious
hypocrites
we
had
as
little
reason
to
complaine
,
as
they
to
be
proud
.
We
are
the
fewer
,
they
not
the
better
.
We
desire
,
endeauour
reproue
,
exhort
,
instruct
all
,
with
purpose
of
heart
to
saue
them
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
Ie●u●
;
if
they
wish
not
the
same
.
Wee
are
content
to
differ
as
far
from
them
in
our
desires
,
as
wee
doe
in
our
doctrines
.
If
there

but
there
are
many
,
too
many
,
all
in
some
measure
,
some
in
all
measure
,
beyond
measure
,
therefore
we
must
proceed
.
Sicknesse
is
the
Subiect
,
and
the
obseruations
that
shal
limite
my
short
ensuing
speech
,
are
quadruple
.
1.
The
precious
benefite
of
spirituall
health
,
which
we
shall
the
better
discerne
,
if
wee
compare
it
with
corporall
,
2.
What
sickenesse
is
incident
to
man
,
3.
That
the
Sickenesse
of
the
Soule
is
most
dangerous
,
4.
Lastly
,
who
are
the
sicke
?
1
Health
is
precious
,
1
Riches
are
the
desire
of
many
hearts
,
the
speciall
fruit
which
their
hands
reach
to
gather
(
passing
by
all
the
better
trees
in
Gods
orchard
)
the
obiect
of
most
endeuours
:
How
vaine
,
how
tedious
,
how
odious
are
they
without
health
?
Let
them
binde
gold
to
their
a
king
head
,
drinke
Cleopatras
draught
,
(
precious
stones
dissolued
)
to
ease
their
rasping
stomacke
,
inuolue
and
wrappe
their
conu●lsed
ioyntes
in
furres
and
silkes
,
empty
their
coffers
in
the
Physitians
study
;
if
(
nature
and
her
Ordinatour
)
God
deny
health
,
how
vnualuable
are
their
riches
,
how
vnauaileable
their
proiects
!
How
complain
they
(
after
all
experimented
succours
)
their
vnabated
anguish
!
Therefore
the
son
of
Sirach
truly
saith
;
Better
is
the
poore
being
sound
and
strong
of
constitution
,
then
a
rich
man
that
is
afflicted
in
his
body
.
Health
and
good
state
of
body
are
aboue
all
gold
,
a
strong
body
aboue
infinite
wealth
.
There
is
no
riches
aboue
a
sound
body
,
and
no
ioy
aboue
the
ioy
of
the
heart
.
The
poore
man
well
,
onely
admireth
wealth
,
The
rich
man
sicke
,
onely
commendeth
health
.
Health
giues
meanes
to
bee
rich
,
riches
giue
no
meanes
to
be
healthfull
.
Nay
,
they
are
rather
traitours
and
aduersaries
to
it
:
Not
scaffols
whereby
health
is
built
vp
,
but
staires
to
descend
by
to
the
graue
.
The
Rich
mans
quotidian
dilicacies
rotted
him
for
death
.
Where
there
is
a
full
purse
,
and
an
esurient
ambitious
appetite
,
there
is
a
close
and
vnsuspected
conspiracy
against
the
health
.
Thus
we
doe
not
more
eagerly
pursue
opulency
in
our
soundnes
then
in
our
sicknes
wee
contemptibly
despise
,
loathingly
dislike
it
.
2
Is
there
any
ascendency
in
Pleasure
aboue
health
?
will
not
that
carry
vp
a

He

Sicknesse

What

that

For
though

good

that
all

are
but
troublesome
without

;
yet
it
is
often
seene
,
that
the
worse
part
drawes
away
the
better
,
and
a
vigorous
strong
able
body
,
without
any
difficulty
makes
a
wanton
and
diseased
soule
.
Bodily
health
is
generally
desired
;
(
farre
more
then
endeuoured
)
it
being
an
action
of
that
naturall
propensenesse

ingraffed

lets

wicked
run
without

cognisance
.
Thus
different
is
the
state
of
Gods
seruants
,
and
the
worlds
slaues
.
They
thinke
none
sicke

wee
:
wee

they
.
If

scatter

As

as

it

Though

Thus
hauing
enquired
what
health
is
,
leauing
a
while
the
consideration
therof
as
it
is
in
it selfe
;
let
vs
descend
into
it
as
respectiuely
;
casting
an
oblique
eye
vnto
that
which
is
diuers
from
it
,
or
aduerse
to
it
.
There
is
a
significant
and
lightfull
demonstration
or
commentarie
,
which
one
contrary
nature
giues
to
another
,
when
they
are
diametrally
opposed
.
The

would
not

so

if
the
departing

should
not

night
to
follow
it
.
The
foile
addes
grace
to
the
Iewell
.
It
(
no
lesse
then
)
glorifies
learning
,
that
the
malitious
tong
of
ignorance
barkes
at
it
.
He
knowes
the
benefite
of
heate
,
that
hath
felt
the
sharpenes
of
a
freezing
colde
.
If
there
were
no
sicknesse
to
trouble

,
health
it selfe
would
be
thought
sicknesse
.
The
very
enmity
of
these
repugnances
helpe
the
beholders
iudgement
,
eyther
to
embrace
or
reiect
them
.
Euen
their
opposition
is
an

,
sicknesse
,

,
all
those
priuatiue

destructiue
things
,
which
as
they
had
no
creation
from
God
so
giue
no
direction
to
the
good
;
yeeld
(
by
a
sober
meditation
)
an
vnwilling
lustre
to
those
vertues
,
graces
,
and
happy
habites
;
against
which
they
vaunt
their
contrariety
.
That
if
any
lewde
,
vaine
,
ill
iudging
,
worse
affecting
mind
,
shall
still
loue
the
desolation
of
sinne
,
rather
then
the
consolation
of
spirituall
health
:
it
may
appeare
to
bee
,
not
because
this
obiect
is
not
wretched
,
but
because
hee
is
blind
and
bewitched
.
There
is
a
twofolde
Sicknesse
incident
to
man
,
1.
in
sinne
,
2.
for
sinne
.
The
former
of
these
is
only
spiritual
:
the
latter
is
not
onely
corporall
,
but
sometimes
spirituall
also
:
and
of
all
the
Vials
of
Gods
wrath
,
holden
to
the
mouth
of
miserable
men
by
the
hand
of
iustice
,
it
is
the
forest
,
when
sinne
shall
bee
punished
with
sinne
,
and
the
destitution
of
grace
,
shall
permitte
a
lapse
to
impenitency
.
1
The
Sicknesse
in
sinne
is
double
,
according
to
the
cause
,
which
is
a
defect
either
of
right
belieuing
,
or
straight
liuing
,
a
debility
of
confidence
,
a
sterility
of
good
works
:
lacke
of
faith
,
wracke
of
charity
.
These
effects
(
or
rather
defects
)
are
produced
by
two
errors
in
our
Soules
diet
:
the
one
excessiue
,
the
other
deficient
,
1.
By
Fasting
too
much
from
Christ
,
2.
By
feeding
too
much
on
the
world
.
In
what
wee
should
affect
,
we
are
abstinent
,
in
what
auoide
,
very
indulgent
.

The

Whiles
there
is
bread
inough
in
your
Fathers
house
.
Why
should
wee
sicken
●ur
spirits
in
a
voluntary
want
;
and
fast
from
that
which
is
able
to
feast
a
world
of
faithfull
guestes
.
This
is
the
first
degree
of
our
spirituall
sicknesse
.
2
The
excessiue
occasion
to
procure
ill
health
to
our
soules
,
is
by
feeding
too
heartily
too
hastily
on
the
world
.
This
is
that
too
much
oyle
,
which
quencheth
our
Lampe
.
For
as
in
a
body
ouercharged
with
immoderate
quantitie
of
meates
or
drinkes
,
when
the
moisture
swels
(
like
a
tide
aboue
the
verges
)
and
extinguisheth
the
digestiue
heate
:
that
their
kindely
embraces
are
turned
to
conflictes
,
and
the
superfluities
want
their
former
dissolution
,
and
egestion
,
the
necessary
euent
is
distemperature
and
sicknes
.
So
the
aff●ctions
of
the
soule
ouerloaden
with
the
deuoured
burden
of
worldly
things
,
suffer
the
benigne
and
liuing
fire
of
grace
to
be
quenched
.
Hence
the
fainting
spirits
of
vertue
swoune
and
fall
sicke
,
neither
part
of
the
soule
,
as
if
this
dropsie
were
onely
in
the
feet
)
thus
diseased
;
but
the
sickness●
taketh
the
head
of
the
soule
,
the
vnderstanding
and
the
heart
of
it
,
the
conscience
:
that
faith
(
which
is
religious
reason
)
is
empaired
,
and
the
instrument
,
the
tongue
,
the
Organ
of
Gods
prayse
is
hindered
.
As
wee
see
it
in
these
corporall
effects
by
drunken
men
,
the
feete
are
too
light
,
and
the
head
too
heauy
:
the
legges
cannot
stand
,
the
tongue
cannot
speake
:
so
both
vnderstanding
and
affections
are
stifled
in
this
deluge
,
inward
faith
,
and
outward
profession
falling
sicke
to
the
death
.
For
how
can
it
be
otherwise
,
that
the
soule
(
of
so
high
and
celestiall
a
creation
)
should
thriue
with
the
grosse
and
homely
diet
of
vanity
?

The

is

Fooles
,
because
of
their
iniquities
are
afflicted
,
their
soule
abhorreth
all
manner
of
meat
,
and
they
draw
neer
to
the
gates
of

This

causeth

:

So
that
his
life
abhorreth
bread
,
and
his
soule
dainty
meat
.
His
flesh
is
consumed
away
,
that
it
cannot
be
seene
,
and
his
bones
that
were
not

,
sticke
out

Weakenes
proceedeth
from

:
if
the
Soule
had
not
sinned
his
body
should
not
haue
smarted
.
Indeede
this
blow
is
easie
,
if
wee
respect
the
cause
that
drew
it
on

For
if

Wages
of

be
death
,
Sicknes
is
a
gentle
payment
,
Sicknesse
is
the
maladie
of
the
body
,
Death
is
the
malady
of
sicknesse
.
But
such
is
Gods
mercy
,
that
hee
is
content
to
punish
sometimes
corporaliter
,
non
mortaliter
;
and
to
put
into
our
hearts
a
sense
of
our
sinnes
,
by
casting
vs
downe
,
not
by
casting
vs
out
.
But
whether
the
affliction
be
quoad
introitum
,
or
quoad
interitum
,
a
more
gentle
entrance
or
more
piercing
to
death
,
all
is
produced
by
our
sinne
.
You
will
say
,
that
many
afflictions
,
wherewith
God
scourgeth
his
children
,
are
the
[

12.6
Fatherly
corrections
of
loue
;
yet
they
are

,
and
their
intention
is
to
better

Now
what
need
the
bestowing
such
paines
on
vs
,
to
make
vs
good
,
if
sinne
had
not
made
vs
euill
.
Still
Sinne

,
whether
it

therefore
I

In

had
womannish

in
sustaining
the
terrors

If
our

Spirituall
sickenesse

other

To
restraine
their

,
they
principall
appeare
in
two
diseases
,
or
disasters
rather
,
Impenitency
and
Despaire
.

Impenitencie

the

:
a
death
rather
then
a
sickenesse
.
He
that
labours
hereof
,
is
rather
deceased
,
then
diseased
.
This
is
a
heart
so
hard
and
impenetrable
,
that
all
the
holy
dewes
of
instructions
cannot
soften
it
;
all
the
blowes
of
Gods
striking
rod
put
no
sense
into
it
.
It
is
inuulnerable
to
any
stroke
,
saue
that
which
makes
a
fatall
and
finall
end
with
it
.

Thou
hast
stricken
them
,
but
they
haue
not

,
&c.
It
is
iust
with
God
,
but
fearefull
on
whom
soeuer
this
iu●gement
lights
,
to
plague
sin
with
sinne
,
that
peccatum
sit
paena
peccantis
.
For
there
is
euermore
some
precedent
impietie
in
those
vngratious
persons
,
procuring
God
to
deale
thus
with
them
.

For
this
cause
God
shall
send
them
strong
delusion
,
that
they
should
beleeue
a
lie
.
That
they
all
might
be
damned
that
beleeued
not
the
truth
,
but
had
pleasure
in
vnrighteousnesse
.
First
Pharaoh
hardens
his
owne
heart
&c.
God
all
this
while
holds
his
peace
,
giues
him
the
hearing
and
looking
on
.
In
the
end
he
saith
I
will
harden
Pharaohs
heart
;
and
then
puts
yron
to
yron
,
adamant
to
adamant
,
and
there
is
perfected
a
relentlesse
repentlesse
obduracy
.
This
is
that
retaliation
of
sinne
,
which
God
returnes
into
their
bosomes
that
foster
it
,
that
since
[

they
loued

it

So
Dauid
in
the
Psalme
.
(
Though
indeed
it
was
not
in
him
Precantis
votum
,
but
Prophetantis

he

but

Adde

their
iniquitie
.
Neither
doth
God
this
by
infusion
of
wickednesse
,
but
by
substraction
of
his
spirit
.
He
is
causa
deficiens
,
not
efficiens
;
as
the
reuoking
of
the
sunne
from
vs
causeth
darkenesse
:
the
priuation
of
grace
,
the
position
of
all
vngodlines
.
It
is
in
him
(
not
peccatum
,
sed
iudicium
)
not
sinne
,
but
iudgement
.
When
he
leaues
vs
to
our selues
;
it
is
no
wonder
if
we
fall
into
horrid
and
prodigious
sinnes
.
Peccatum
est
malum

:

Sinne
is
euill
in
it selfe
,
the
effect
of
former
euill
,
the
cause
of
future
▪
It
is
both
punishment
it selfe
,
and
the
cause
of
punishment
.
In
all
the
store
house
of
Gods
plagues
there
is
not
a
greater
vengance
.
With
other
punishments
the
body
smarteth
,
the
soule
groneth
vnder
this
.
Hence
sinnes
multiply
without
limits
,
that
the
plagues
may
be
without
end
.
Euery
affliction
is
sore
that
offends
vs
;
but
that
is
direfull
which
withall
offends
God
.
Such
do
at
once
act
and
suffer
:
it
is
both
an
actiue
and
a
passiue
sinne
.
The
punishment
they
suffer
,
is
(
in
them
)
sinne
;
the
sinne
they
doe
,
is
(
from
God
)
a
punishment
.
There
is
nothing
more
wretched
,
then
a
wretched
man
recking
his
owne
wretchednesse
.
Eyther
they
do
not
feele
as
blockes
,
or
they
will
not
feele
as
Stoickes
.
You
know
a
seared
conscience
is
not
sensible
:
and
vsuall
whipping
makes
some
carelesse
of
the
rodde
;
except
it
bee
a
stroke
that
shall
fetch
bloud
of
the
soule
.
Indeed
we
are
all
of
one
mould
,
but
some
are
more
cloddy
and
hard
,
others
more
soft
and
relenting
.
The
best
in
their
sorrowes
,
may
be
more
then
no
paine
can
bring
sorrow
to
a
Wise
man
;
&
c..
Let
him
(
being
put
into
that
torturous
engine
of
burning
brasse
,
called

Horse
)
bite
in
his
anguish
;
smother
his
grones
,
sigh
inwardly
,
and
cry
to
the
Spectators
,
non
sentio
,
I
feele
not
.
The
wicked
may
laugh
out
lighter
punishments
;
and
like
the
surde
deafe
,
and
dead
rockes
of
the
sea
,
not
regarde
the
waues
of
easier
iudgements
beating
on
them
;
letting
fall
no
teares
of
repentance
for
so
many
blowes
.
But
when
God
sees
that
thou
digestest
his
Physicke
as
dyet
,
and
with
a
strange
kinde
of
indulgencie
,
wilt
neither
grieue
that
thou
hast
offended
,
nor
that
thou
art
offended
:
God
will
strike
home
,
and
sharpen
at
once
both
his
blow
&
thy
sense
.
Now
thou
shalt
feele
;
euen
thy
seared
heart
shall
bleed
.
In
a
word
,
the
wicked
may
be
senseles
Stoicks
,
they
cannot
be
insensible
stones
.
There
is
in
all
men
an
impossibility
of
impassibility
.
But
these
remorseles
wretches
,
so
spiritually
sicke
(
not
of
the

in

raines
,
but
)
in

They

At

loe

now
they
sinne
and

Impiety
,
impunity
,
impenitency
thus
swiftly
follow
one
at
the
heeles
of
another
.
There
are
some
sicke
of
this
disease
,
but
not
so
far
gone
;
of
whose
recouery
there
is
a
little
(
&
but
a
little
)
more
hope
.
These
haue
by
the
chidings
of
their
accusing
conscience
,
a
notion
,
a
rellish
,
a
ghesse
of
the
number
and
nature
of
their
own
sins
,
which
because
they
suspect
to
be
monstrous
,
they
would
by
no
means
admit
a
sight
of
.
Hence
they
flie
the
temple
,
the
society
of
the
good
,
the
voice
of
exhortation
,
whence
soeuer
it
soundeth
:
lest
it
should
call
the
Soules
eye
home
,
to
glance
at
the
own
estate
,
and
so
leaue
it
amazed
.
Hence
he
hath
(
animum
inscium
,
inscitum
)
an
ill
sight
,
an
ill-sighted
mind
.
So
timorous
is
this
Patient
,
that
because
he
knows
his
wound
deepe
,
he
will
not
suffer
the
Chirurgion
to
search
it
,
willing
rather
to
kill
his
soule
,
then
to
●isquiet
it
.
Such
is
the
folly
of
his
partiall
indulgence
to
his
conscience
,
that
whiles
hee
would
softer
it
,
he
doth
fester
it
.
They
write
of
the
Elephant
,
that
(
as
if
guilty
of
his
owne
deformity
,
and
therfore
not
abiding
to
view
his
snowt
in
a
cleare
spring
:
)
he
seekes
about
for
troubled
and
muddy
waters
to
drinke
in
,
This
sicke
wretch
(
without
question
induced
by
the
like
reason
)
refuseth
to
looke
into
the
glasse
of
the
Law
,
or
to
come
to
the
cleare
springs
of
the
Gospell
,
or
any
perspectiue
that
may
represent
his
euill
conscience
to
his
eyes
,
but
seekes
to
muddy
and
polluted
channels
,
Tauerns
,
Theaters
,
societies
of
sinne
,
to
drowne
the
thought
of
former
iniquities
with
floudes
of
new
.
(
And
if
he
be
enforced
to
any
such
reflection
,
hee
spurnes
and
tramples
that
admonition
,
as
Apes
breake
the
glasse
that
represents
their
deformity
,
He
runs
himselfe
prodigally
into
so
deepe
arrerages
and
debts
,
that
hee
cannot
endure
to
heare
of
a
reckoning
.
Whiles
he
despaires
of
sufficiency
to
pay
the
old
,
h●e
reckes
not
into
what
new
desperate
courses
and
curses
he
precipitates
himselfe
.
And
as
it
was
in
the
Fable
with
the
blind
woman
and
the
Physitian
:
the
Physitian
comming
often
to
her
house
,
euer
carried
away
a
portion
of
her
best
goods
;
so
that
at
last
recouered
,
by
that
time
her
sight
was
come
againe
,
her
goods
were
gone
.
So
this
wretch
will
not
see
the
ransacking
of
his
soule
,
and
spoile
of
his
graces
,
till
his
conscience
be
left
empty
,
and
then
hee
sees
,
and
cries
too
late
,
as
Esau
for
his
blessing
.
2
That
other
spirituall
sicknesse
for
sinne
,
befalling
a
reprobate
soule
,
is
finall
and
totall
desperation
.
This
is
that
fearefull
consequent
,
which
treades
vpon
the
heeles
of
the
former
sicknesse
.
Presumption
goes
before
,
Despaire
followes
after
.
Cains
fratricide
,
Iudas
treacherie
,
presumptuous
,
aspiring
,
heauen-daring
sinnes
,
find
this
desperate
catastrophe
,
to
cut
themselues
off
from
the
mercy
of
God
.
This
is
insanabilis
plaga
,
when
the
Physitian
promising
helpe
of
the
disease
,
the
patient
shall
thrust
●is
nayles
into
it
,
and
cry
,
Nay
,
it
shall
not
be
healed
.
As
if
the
goodnes
of
God
,
and
the
value
of
Christs-all
sufficient
ransom
,
were
below
his
iniquity
.
As
if
the
pardon
of
his
sinnes
would
empty
Gods
storehouse
of
compassion
,
and
leaue
his
stocke
of
mercy
poore
.
This
is
that
agony
,
whose
throbs
and
throwes
,
restles
,
turbulent
,
implacable
cogitations
cannot
be
quieted
.
Let
riuers
of
those
waters
of
comfort
,
which
glad
the
City
of
God
,
run
with
full
streames
vnto
it
,
they
are
resisted
and
driuen
backe
.
This
is
that
sinne
,
which
not
onely
offers
iniury
and
indignity
to
the
Lord
of
heauen
and
earth
,
To
commit
sinne
is
the
killing
of
the
soule
,
to
refuse
hope
of
mercy
,
is
to
cast
it
downe
into
hell
.
Therefore
Saint
Ierom
affirms
that
Iudas
sinned
more
in
despairing
of
his
masters
pardon
,
then
in
betraying
him
.
Since
nothing
can
bee
more
derogatory
to
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
which
he
hath
granted
by
promise
and
oath
(
two
immutable

)
to
penitent

Thus
we
haue
heard
the
malignancy
of
spirituall
sicknesses
,
whetherin
sinne
,
or
for
sinne
.
Now
let
vs
take
a
short
consideration
,
how
farre
spirituall
sicknesses
,
are
more
dangerous
then
corporall
.
The
Soule
is
;
at
all
parts
,
more
precious
then
the
Body
.
It
is
that
principall
,
most
diuine
,
and
excellent
halfe
of
man
.
Dum
viuisicat
,

:
dum
vult
,

,
dum

dum

:
dum

It
is
called
for
quickning
,
a
soule
,
for
knowing
,
mind
,
for
remembring
,
memory
,
for
iudging
,
reason
,
for
breathing
,
spirit
,
for
feeling
,
sense
,
when
the
soule
is
sicke
:
all
these
are
sicke
with
it
.
The
soule
is
compared
to
heauen
,
the
body
to
earth
.
The
heauen
is
glorious
with
Sun
,
Moon
Starres
;
so
the
soule
with
vnderstanding
,
memory
,
reason
,
faith
,
hope
,
&c.
The
body
like
the
earth
,
whereof
it
was
made
,
is
squallid
with
lusts
.
The
earth
hath
no
heate
nor
nourishment
,
but
from
heauen
,
nor
the
body
comfort
,
but

Or

but
euen
the

is
also
more
tetricall
,
piercing
,
and
amazing
with

.
We
shall
finde
the
perplexity
of
this
spirituall
sicknesse
;
(
how
far
?
)
exceeding
the
corporall
,
if
wee
either
compare
them
generally
,
or
particularly
,
instance
in
any
speciall
disease
.
1
Generally
,
The
excellency
of
health
,
is
measured
according
to
the
Life
,
which
holds
it
:
and
the
dignity
of
Life
is
considered
by
the
cause
that
giues
it
,
Iesus
Christ
,
5.
The
Life
of
Glory
exceedes
all
,
whereof
there
are
also
two
degrees
,
1.
the
fruition
of
glory
in
soule
,
2.
the
ful
possession
in
the
vnion
of
the
body
to
it
.
These
two
last
sorts
of
Life
transcend
the
former
in
two
maine
respects
,
1.
Because
the
other
may
die
,
must
die
;
these
haue
a
patent
of
eternity
sealed
them
,
2.
Because
the
other
haue
transient
causes
:
These
haue
the
Grace
and
Glory
of
God
.
Now
as
by
all
consent
,
the
Life
of
reasonable
man
is
better
then
the
vegetable
of
plants
,
or
sensitiue
of
beasts
;
so
the
health
of
man
must
needes
be
more
precious
:
and
as
that
vertue
excels
in
goodnesse
,
so
doth
the
defect
exceede
in
miserablenesse
.
Respect
man
distinctiuly
,
as
hee
is
a
Body
onely
,
and
then
to
bee
sicke
,
and
die
are
common
to
him
with
plants
and
beastes
;
and
what
suffering
is
there
in
the
one
,
more
then
in
the
other
,
saue
that
as
the
Beast
is
more
sensible
of
paine
then
the
tree
;
so
man
is
more
apprehensiue
then
the
beast
,
the
bodies
of
all
returne
to
the
earth
.
But
man
hath
a
soule
,
wherein
his
reason
is
placed
;
which
fainting
or
sickening
through
sinne
,
or
the
punishment
for
sinne
,
there
is
offered
a
passion
and
griefe
,
whereof
the
other
are
not
capable
.
Death
to
the
rest
is
not
so
terrible
,
as
this
sickenesse
.
The
goodlier
the
building
is
,
the
more
lamentable
the
ruine
.
2
Particularly
,
This
will
best
appeare
,
if
wee
single
out
some
speciall
disease
,
and
conferre
the
perplexity
it
can
offer
to
the
body
,
with
the
sickenesse
of
the
soule
.
Take
for
instance
,
the
plague
of
the
Leprosie
.
It
was
a
fearefull
and
vnsupportable
sicknesse
,
euery
way
miserable

infected
the
Elements

The
Leaprosie
was
violent
in
spreading
,
running
eftsoones
ouer
all
the
body
,
as
in
Gehizi
,
and
making
it
all
as
one
vlcer
;
yet
could
it
not
penetrate
and
enter
the
soule
;
the
minde
might
be
cleane
in
this
generall
defiling
of
the
carcase
.
Behold
the
Laeprosie
of
sinne
hath
not
content
it
se●fe
to
insult
,
pollute
and
tyrannize
ouer
the
body
,
but
it
defiles
the
Soule
also
,
and
turnes
that
purer
parte
of
Man
into
a
Lazar.

poisoned

our
Consciences
defiled
.

The
Leaprosie
was
an
accidentall
disease
,
casuall
to
some
,
whiles
other
escaped
it
.
It
was
Gods
Pursuiuant
to
single
out
and
arrest
some
for
their
sinnes
,
his
mercy
spa●ing
the
rest
.
But
the
Leaprosie
of
sinne
is
(
haereáitarius
morbus
)
an
hereditary
sicknesse
.
Wee
deriue
it
from
our
great
Sire
Adam
,
with
more
infallible
conueyance
then
euer
sonne
inherited
his
fathers
lands
.
It
is
originall
to
vs
,
borne
with
vs
,
borne
before
vs
.
So
that
(
natalis
would
bee
fatalis
)
the
birth
day
would
bee
the
death
day
,
if
the
bloud
of
that
immaculate
Lambe
should
not
clense
vs
.
4
The
Leaprosie
was
a
dangerous
disease
,
yet
curable
by
naturall
meanes
:
but
ours
is
by
so
much
the
worse
,
as
it
admits
not
man
as
Physitian
,
nor
nature
it
se●fe
as
Physicke
,
sufficient
to
cure
it
.
The
medicine
is
supernaturall
;
the
Bloud
and
Water
of
that
man
,
who
is
God
.
Faith
must
lay
hold
on
mercy
:
Mercy
alone
can
heale
vs
.
5
The
Leaprosie
is
a
sore
disease
,
so
entring
and
eating
,
that
it
is
euen
incorporate
to
the
flesh
:
yet
still
(
cum
carne
exuitur
)
it
is
put
off
with
the
flesh
.
Death
is
a
Phisitian
able
to
cure
it

But
the
Leprosie

sinne
cleanes
so
fast
(
not
onely
to
the
flesh
,
but
)
to
the
Soule
,
that
if
spirituall
death
to
sinne
doe
not
slay
it
,
Corporall
death
shall
neither
mende
it
nor
end
it
.
6
The
Leaprosie
makes
man
loathsome
to
man
,
that
(
seorsim
habitaturus
sit
)
hee
must
dwell
alone
.
So

yet
what
is

?
God
forsakes

The
plague
of
sinne
ranckles
,

(
helped
with
fit
instruments
of
dispersion
)
infects
the
times

The
Scribe
points

thinkes
that
destruction
comes

the
citie

The

Apostle
saith
of
Himeneus
and
Philetus
,
as
if
the
resurrection
was
past
,
or
would
neuer
come
.
I
know
,
there
was
neuer
age
not
complained
of
,
not
iudged

worst

&c.
We
see
what
is
,
not
what
hath
been
.
Satans
violence
now
doubling
his
forces
,
shewes
it
to
be
the
last
and
worst
time
.
For
the
Diuell
then
rageth
most
when
he
knowes
he
shall
rage
but
for
a
while
.
The
world
is
sicke
,
the
dayes
are
euill
.
You
heare
what
makes
them
so
.
Shortly
,
eyther
doing
or
suffering
ill
:
sinne
originally
,
misery
by
consequent
.
If
we
would
bate
of
our
sinnes
God
would
decrease
our
miseries
.
What
plagues
the
world
with
the
sword
,
but
malice
and
ambition
?
What
turns
the
poore
from
their
right
,
but
iniustice
?
What
brings
famine
but
couetousnesse
?
Proud
Courtiers
make
rich
Merchants
and
both
make
miserable
Commons
.
We
multiply
sinnes
against
God
,
Gods
punishmens
vpon
vs
:
the
former
from
our
vnrighteousnes
,
from
his
righteousnesse
the
latter
:
both
together
make
the
worlde
sicke
,
the
dayes
euil
.
I
would
hope
,
it
were
now
vaine
to
bid
you
loath
the
world
.
Is
he
lesse
then
mad
,
that
can
loue
and
dote
on
such
a
cheeke
?
The
beauty
of
it
is
blacke
without
by
the
miseries
,
and
more
foule
within
by
the
sinnes
:
if
any
wretch
shall
now
make
it
his
choice
,
he
is
not
worthy
of
enuy
,
if
of
pity
,
now
as

moderne
Poet
well
