it

For
the
Church
in
Scriptures
is
compared
to
a
Shippe
.
Noah
his
Ship
and
Pinnesse
did
expresly
prefigure
it
,
and
the
Ship
out
of
which
Christ
preached
,
did
not
obscurely
shadow
it
.
It
may
well
hold
comparison
with
a
Ship
,
it
is
so
like
it
in
euerie
degree
.
I.
Euerie
Shippe
hath
need
of
a
skilfull
and
watchfull
Pilote
and
Gouernor
:
so
hath
the
Church
,
whereof
it
is
fitted
with
the
best
,
the
eternall
Sonne
of
God
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
sitting
alwayes
at
the
sterne
of
it
,
Feare
not
,
for
I
haue
redeemed
thee
.
I
haue
called
thee
by
thy
name
,
thou
art
mine
.
When
thou
passest
through
the
waters
,
I
will
be
with
thee
;
and
through
the
flouds
,
that
they
doe
not
ouerflow
thee
.
And
that
wee
might
build
vpon
it
,
his
promise
to
the
same
effect
is
thus
in
another
part
of
Scripture
repeated
;
will
be
a
wall
of
fire
round
about
.
I
will
be
with
you
to
the
end
of
the
world
.

Thus
was
he
with
Noah
whilest
his
Arke
and
Barke
floated
and
houered
on
the
surface
of
the
waters
,
during
all
the
raging
time
of
the
floud
.
Our
Pilot
may
seem
to
vs
to
slumber
,
when
the
Ship
and
Church
is
in
danger
:
but
as
in
the
deluge
,
so
in
the
deuillish
deuises
of
men
,
hee
taketh
charge
of
it
.
So
that
we
may
fasten
these
verses
vnto
it
translated
out
of
a
Greeke
verse
,
of
which
Sybilla
is
said
to
be
the
author
.
Mergitur
interdum
,
sed
non
submergitur
vnquam
:
Saluificum
Christi
seruans
ecclesia
verbum
.
The
Church
though
somtimes
drencht
,
is
neuer
drowned
:
Because
it
is
vpon
Christs
sauing
Gospell
founded
.
II.
Euerie
Ship
must
haue
a
Rudder
to
rule
it
.

ship

.
The
Rudder
wherwith
the
Arke
of
Gods
Church
is
guided
,
is
the
word
of
God
,
the
rule
and
direction
of
euerie
mans
life
.
Of
the
word
of
God
,
a
rule
for
vs
,
&c.
Psa.
119.9
For
if
we
put
the
question
of
euerie
mans
(
as
Dauid
doth
of
the
young
man
,
saying
:
Wherewithall
shall
a
young
man
clense
his
wayes
)
and
say
,
wherewithall
shall
young
and
old
,
rich
and
poore
,
one
with
another
rule
his
way
?
the
answere
is
the
same
taken
from
the
mouth
of
Gods
spirit
;
Euen
by
ruling
himselfe
according
to
thy
word
.
For
this
is
not
onely
a
word
of
authoritie
to
binde
the
conscience
:
or
of
wisedome
onely
to
aduise
it
:
or
of
power
onely
to
conuert
it
:
or
of
grace
onely
to
comfort
it
:
but
it
is
a
word
of
eternal
life
,
absolutely
to
blesse
vs
,
Whether
else
shall
we
goe
,
(
saith
Peter
to
Christ
)
Thou
hast
the
wordes
of
eternall
life
.
By
this
he
gouerneth
and
vpholdeth
all
according
to
the
words
of
the
Apostle
,
He
beareth
vp
all
thinges
by
his
mightie
word
.

Of
the

;
Loe

I
am

you
vnto

Of
which
there
is
the

enrolment
in
this
Magna

and
great
Charter
betweene
God
and
his

,
as
in
this
peece
of

:
The

remooue

and
the
hilles
shall
fall
downe
:
but
my
mercie
shall
not
depart
from
thee
,
neither
shall
the
couenant
of
my
peace
fall
away
,
(
sayth
the
Lord
)
that
hath
compassion
on
thee
.
As
also
in
this
,
I
will
see
you
againe
,
and
your
hearts
shall
reioyce

and

The
sayle
that
maketh
this
Ship
ride
merrily
amidst
the
lofty
surges
of
the
Sea
of
this
world
,
is
our
manifest
professed
faith
,
which
taketh
fast
hold
of
the
middle
Mast
his
forenamed
kinde
promises
,
nestling
it selfe
in
them
as
Doues

hoyst

them
a

The

The
shrewdest
danger
of
this
Ship
is
sin
.
Waues
&
weather
cannot
wrack
or
wrong
it
;
For
,
by
setting
vp
sayles
against
the
winde
,
or
by
casting
anchor
,
and
by
being
sure
before-hand
that
the
anchor
rope
will
hold
,
and
not
slacke
,
it
will
doe
wel
inough
when
the
winds
haue
blowen
,
and
the
waues
haue
wrought
their
worst
:
The
sure
Rocke
to
trust
vnto
,
is
Christ
Iesus

The
Deuill

can
neuer
sinke
our
shippe
with
all
their
subtilties
,
so
long
as
we
cast
our
faith
and
hope
vppon
our
rocke
Christ
Iesus
.
But
if
it
dasheth
against
the
rocke
of
sinne
,
it
is
in
great
ieopardie
.
Ionas
his
sinne
had
well
nigh
sinked
the
Shippe
that
Ionas
went
in
:
Peter
thought
it
of
force
,
to
ouerthrow
more
shippes
then
one
,
when
he
said
thus
to
Christ
vppon
the
wonderfull
draught
of
fish
,
which
so
filled
two
Ships
,
as
they
were
readie

maker
is
God
;
of
which
read
the
whole
21.
Chapter
of
S.
Iohns
Reuelation
which
hath
much
of
this
matter
.
Thus
in
this
Ship
which
is
the
Church
of
the
euerliuing
God
,
we
haue
verie
fit
standing
for
the
casting
out
of
our
nets
,
&
angles
,
and
for
our
spirituall
fishing
,
without
which
there
is
no
good
to
be
done
.
For
as
none
were
saued
that
were
not
in
Noahs
Arke
;
so
out
of
the
Church
there
is
no
saluation
.
As
that
was
so
pitched
within
and
without
,
as
no
water
could
sue
thorough
any
seame
thereof
:
so
the
state
of
the
Church
is
such
,
as
no
detriment
can
bee
imported
vnto
it
.
For
when
tyrants
haue
shewed
the
extent
of
their
malice
,
the
Church
abideth
firme
as
mount
Sion
,
not
to
be
remooued
.
Let
our
prime
care
therfore
be
to
be
in
this
Ship
,
mindfull
of
that
which
Saint
Austine
truely
saith
;
Non
habet
Deum
patrem
,
qui
non
habet
ecclesiam
matrem
:
He
hath
not
God
to
be
his
Father
,
who
hath
not
the
Church
to
be
his
mother
.
These
haue
beene
my
meditations
on
this
Boat
,
when
I
haue
been

The

of

in

:
So
in

men
of
all
natures
,
and

&c.
As
in
the
Sea
are
all
sorts
of
fishes
,
and
there
is
the
great
Leuiathan
that
hath
his
pastime
in
the

:
so
there
be
in
this
world
men
of
all
natures
and

,
we
can
name
no
creature
of
inclination
neuer
so

,
abhominable

but
we
will
finde
a
Copes-mate

him
of

,
amonge

of

.
Therefore
heere
commeth
in
an
old
prouerbe
in
place
,
There
is
no
fishing
to
the
Sea
.
For
as
the
Fisher-man
delighteth
there
to
fish
most
where
most
store
of
fish
are
;
so
should
the
spirituall
Fisher-man
of
men
,
desire
to
bee
there
more
where
his
auditors
are
more
.
The
Apostles
,
when
the
dispensation
of
preaching
the
Gospell
was
committed
vnto
them
,
tooke
a
large
circuit
and
wide
perambulation
through
the
world
,
and
their
commission
serued
them
thereunto
,
Goe
into
all
the
world
and
preach
the
Gospell
vnto
all
creatures
.
No
Angler
or
Fisher-man
will
be
alwaies
plodding
in
one
place
,
a
workeman
that
needeth
not
bee
ashamed
.
Christ
not
onely
fished
for
the
Crocodile
in
the
water
,
but
for
the
Menowe
in
like
manner
:
and
therefore
as
he
went
thorough
euerie
Hee
went
thorough
euery
Citie
and
Towne
,
preaching
and
publishing
the
Kingdome
of
God
.
They
doe
not
therefore
the
halfe
part
of
their
dutie
(
if
they
doe
any
dutie
at
all
)
those
politique
Preachers
of
our
times
,
who
spend
the
greatest
part
of
their
idlenesse
in
Princes
Courts
,
and
fancie
not
to
preach
but
in
great
places
,
and
cannot
sauour
of
a
simple
audience
:
as
though
preaching
serued
onely
for
shew
of
wit
,
and
to
bring
in
a
liuing
,
and
to
liue
licentiously
.
For
there
are
the
best
places
to
speake
their
declamations
,
and
filed
orations
,
to
drinke
the
wine
in
bolles
,
to
attain
to
the
greatest
preferments
of
fat
Prebendships
,
Parsonages
,
Deanries
,
Bishoprickes
.
Dauids
Aphorisme
is
verie
fitting
for
them
,
They
are
hungry
like
dogges
,
and
goe
vp
and
downe
the
Citie
.
They
are
hungrie
of
their
owne
profit
,
and
not
of
the
peoples
:
they
are
dogges
that
licke
the
sores
of
sinners
,
cunningly
seeking
how
to
currie
fauour
with
Courtiers
,
neuer
thinking
of
correcting
their
manners
.
They
goe
vp
and
downe
the
Citie
pompously
,
and
proudly
,
in
the
meane
while
their
sheepe
at
home
are
committed
to
the
ouer-sight
of
a
simple
mercenarie
.
When
a
ban-dogge
,
or
shepheards
curre
is
set
to
keep
sheepe
,
&
leaueth
the
flocke
,
and
trudgeth
home
for
victuals
;
the
seruants
of
the
house
suffer
him
not
,
but
they
chide
him
,
and
cudgell
him
to
his
sheepe
:
It
were
well
that
beneficed
men
might
be
so
serued
,
&
might
no
longer
than
there
is
verie
needfull
cause
,
couch
in
the
Court
to
crouch
for
euery
crust
that
falleth
,
the
gretest
gob
that
is
,
being
too
little
for
their
mouthes
.
It
is
lamentable
to
consider
,
(
and
my
heart
bleedeth
to
thinke
of
it
)
how
poore
Countrey-men
are
neglected
,
and
verie
little
,
or
not
at
all
instructed
:
when
as
by
office
wee
are
in
arrerages
to
all
,
because
God
made
all
,
and
are
indebted
(
as
the
Apostle
professeth
of
himselfe
)
to
the
wise
&
vnwise
in
asmuch
as
Christ
hath
giuen
his
blood
in
purchase
for
the
poore
,
brethren
,
consider
your
calling
,
Their
calling
is
to
a
spiritual
fishing
:
therfore
as
Fishers
neglect
no
waters
wherein
any
good
is
to
be
done
:
so
should
preachers
despise
no
people
,
vpon
whome
any
good
may
be
done
.
The
sea
is
most
inconstant
and
disquiet
by
nature
:
from
whence
the
worlde
very
liuely
hath
his
nature
.
Some
write
of
a
certaine
flood
and
riuer
called
Furipus
adiacent
to
the
sea
,
how
it
hath
a
seuen-fold
reciprocation
and
returne
,
that
it
ebbeth
and
floweth
seuen
times
in
euery
foure
and
twentie
howres
.
But
no
Euripus
is
so
mutable
and
variable
as
the
world
,
constant
in
nothing
but
in
inconstancie
.
The
moone
changeth
euery
day
.
The
Chameleon
a
fower
footed
beast
in
India
,
often
turneth
colour
,
but
not
so
often
as
the
world
turneth
coppie
.
For
no
Proteus
is
so
often
transformed
,
as
that
.
Laban
changeth
Iacobs
wages
tenne
times
:
Heber
(
Iaels
husband
)
the
Kenite
;
yet
when
Sisara
trusted
to
this
peace
,
it
was
his
perdition
,
For
Iael
tooke
him
napping
with
a
nayle
,
&
made
sure
worke
of
him
:
Iacob
called
Amasa
but
to
kill
him
:
The
wicked
are
like
the
raging
sea
that
cannot
rest
.
Hee
that
reproneth
a
scorner
,
purchaseth
to
himselfe
shame
:
and
hee
that
rebuketh
the
wicked
,
getteth
himselfe
a
blot
.
To
admonish
a
contumacious
companion
,
is
as
if
wee
should
iobbe
and
goade
a
madde
man
,
&
feed
a
fier
with
oyle
.
For
they
are
not
only
vncapable
of
reproofe
,
but
they
meditate
all
the
mischief
they
canagainst
their
monitors
.
They
are
of
a
dogged
disposition
vppe
and
downe
.
For
as
dogges
doe
preferre
filth
before
perfume
;
a
contagious
carrion
,
before
any
good
confection
:
so
this
currish
kind
delight
too
much
in
their
filthines
,
than
by
hearing
wholesom
admonition
to
bee
wonne
to
godlinesse
.
Dogges
flie
vpon
such
as
endeuour
to
put
them
from
their
carrion
they
haue
seazed
vpon
:
so
such
hell-houndes
will
violently
rise
vp
against
such
,
as
shall
goe
about
to
withdrawe
them
from
their
filthinesse

of

doth
so
litle
with

,
as

For
how
many
strange
wonders
did
Christ
among
such
,
who
were
neuer
the
better
for
them
?
wherefore
,
that
wee
should
not
loose
our
labours
among
such
,
let
vs
heare
what
warning
is
giuen
vs
of
such
;
Giue
yee
not
that
which
is
holy
vnto
dogges
,
neither
cast
yee
your
pearles
before

least

tread
them
vnder
their
feet
,
and
turning
againe

to
rent
you
.
But
yet
as
wise
fishermen
,
wee
must
discreetly
distinguish
of
sinners
,
and
way
wel
their
affections
,
&
if
there
bee
any
hope
of
hooking
them
,
or
tolling
them
to
our
nets
,
we
are
to
lay
for
them
,
wee
must
trie
before
wee
doe
distrust
,
and
proue
what
may
bee
done
,
and
though
the
water
be
somewhat
rough
,
yet
there
may
be
some
doings
;
we
are
to
doe
our
best
,
though
we
feare
the
worst
,
&
we
are
to
deale
as
we
may
with
him
,
before
wee
finally
despaire
of
any
;
what
thou
shouldst
doe
with
such
,
faith
&
charitie
will
tell
thee
better
than
any
.
Augustine
in

Confessions
writeth
of

dedicated

and

and
was
reclamed
from
them

THE
THIRD
CHAPTER
.
Of
the
nets
,
and
angle-rod
that
are
for
this
fishing
.
THe
instrument
of
out
angelicall
angling
and
fishing
,
is
the
worde
of
God
preached
,
which
by
Christ
in
the
Gospell
is
compared
to
a
net
,
The
power
&
the
working
of
the
preached
word
;
and
the
great
hope
that
is
to
be
had
of
su●h
as
wi●●
be●e
.
Acter

.

.
Of
this
effect
and
working
is
the
preached
worde
,
as
intercepting
our
extrauagant
affections
,
wandering
wide
out
of
the
way
,
without
gouernance
of
the
spirite
,
and
streightning
our
libertie
,
keeping
vs
by
the
obedience
of
faith
within
the
limmits
of
Gods
law
.
Let
vs
take
our
vagaries
neuer
so
much
as
fishes
in
their
element
,
if
euer
we
come
to
the
nets
way
,
we
may
bee
stayed
in
our
waie
.
So
was
Paul
,
when
hee
was
a
Saul
posting
to
Damascus
with
high
commission
to
trouble
those
that
were
of
the
religion
,
in
the
midde
way
,
being
stayed
in
his
course
,
the
word
of
God
countermaunding
him
,
and
he
obeying
it
,
resting
vppon
the
direction
of
it
,
Lord
,
what
wilt
thou
haue
mee
doe
?
Though
Balaam
the
son
of
Bosor
loued
the
wages
of
vnrighteousnesse
,
and
loued
the
golde
of
Moab
as
his
life
,
yet
he
durst
not
for
his
life
doe
otherwise
than
he
was
warranted
by
God
,
and
so
he
answered
the
Lords
that
stayed
vppon
him
,
The
good
that
may
be
had
,
by
comming
to
Sermons
.
I
haue
read
of
as
great
an
acte
as
this
,
done
at
Hierusalem
vpon
the
high
Priests
seruants
sent
out
by
their
master
for
the
attachment
of
Christ
;
who
finding
him
in
his
pulpit
,
&
hearing
his
preaching
,
their
heartes
melted
away
as
droppes
of
water
,
&
they
had
no
power
ouer
him
,
but
returned
as
they
came
,
thus
answering
their
maisters
,
Neuer
any
man
spake
as
that
man
.
Thus
was
Saul
and
his
seruants
serued
;
Saul
sent
seruants
to
apprehend
Dauid
,
who
finding
him
among
the
Prophets
,
they
were
immediatly
in
the
vaine
of
prophecie
.
And
when
Saul
came
himselfe
,
hee
sermoned
in
such
sort
.
Laban
neuer
searched
so
narrowly
Iacobs
houshould-stuffe
,
Iohn
Baptist
had
but
one
night
laid
out
his
net
,
&
he
found
innumerable
souls
taken
in
it
,
of
al
sorts
.
1.
The
mēnowes
and
meaner
sorte
,
the
croude
of
common
people
.
2.
Publicans
and
sinners
,
verie
slipperie
eales
,
that
had
long
lien
in
the
mudde
of
their
misdoings
.
3.
Sanguinarie
souldiers
,
the
Pike
,
and
water-wolues
of
the
Ocean
of
this
worlde
,
a
people
naturally
diseased
with
the
bloodie
issue
.
Al
these
came
trauelling
into
the
net
at
once
,
&
hee
no
sooner
angled
for
them
,
but
had
them
.
It
was
not
the
contention
of
his
spirites
,
or
the
inuention
of
his
wits
,
or
the
intention
of
his
good
wil
,
that
won
them
,
but
it
was
God
that
had
a
nette
for
the
nones
for
them
,
and
a
hooke
that
entred
thorowe
them
and
held
them
.
Men
&
brethren
,
what
shall
we
doe
?
and
the
same
day
,
there
were
added
to
the
Church
three
thousand
soules
.
There
resorted
to
the
lectures
of
Ieremie
very
head-strong
fellowes
,
such
,
as
his
nets
,
and
angels
,
They
come
vnto
thee
,
as
the
people
vseth
to
come
:
and
my
people
set
before
thee
&
heare
thy
wordes
,
but
they
will
not
doc
them
.
But
were
not
the
worde
of
God
such
a
capable
net
as
it
is
,
it
shoulde
not
thus
haue
encloased
them
as
it
did
,
and
had
their
companies
.

and

found
in
him
.
Yet
for
all
his
priuiledge
of
prophecie
,
and
other
royall
induments
,
and
prerogatiues
of
grace
,
he
was
cast
into
a

into

of

as
it
was
of
old
to
haue
beene
an
Athenian
borne
,
rather
than
a
Barbarian
.
Tharsus
in
Cilicia
was
his
foster
place
.
He
was
trained
vp
in
learning
in
the
mother
citie
Hierusalem
,
vnder
a
schoole-maister
of
renowmed
memorie
.
Gamaliel
doctour
of
the
lawes
;
his
institution
and
profession
was
according
to
the
straight
rules
of
Pharasaisme
without
any
deflexion
.
His
zeale
and
deuotion
,
had
it
not
been
blinded
with
superstition
,
had
admitted
no
comparison
,
he
had
the
mark
of
the
true
religion
,
which
was
circumcision
,
which
he
receiued
not
in
processe
of
time
,
(
as
many
prosilites
in
their
nature
or
older
age
)
but
at
the
due
time
,
with
the
first
and
best
,
the
eight
day
:
His
descent
was
from
Israel
,
not
Esay
,
who
morgaged
and
made
a
sale
of
his
inheritance
,
his
tribe
was
Ben●amin
,
that
had
neuer
relapsed
to
Idolatrie
.
His
antiquitie
in
that
line
was
famous
,
as
being
an
Hebrew
of
the
Hebrewes
.

An

he
was
a
Samaritan
vp
&
downe
,
yet
(
as
Epiphanius
saith
)
he
would
goe
for

The
Marcionites

that
they

For
God

,
debarreth
none

His
dominion
(
saith
the
Psalmograph
)
shall
be

from

vnto
the

They

THE
FOVRTH
CHAPTER
.
Of
the
fishermen
that
princiyally
are
appointed
for
this
office
.
ANgles
,
hookes
,
lines
,
nets
,
and
whatsoeuer
implements
of
that
trade
wait
vpon
the
labours
&
faithfulnes
of
the
fishermen
,
&
they
are
they
that
giue
vse
and
vertue
vnto
them
,
and
must
sett
them
a
working
.
For
vnlesse
they
lay
them
in
,
and
draw
them
out
of
the
waters
,
they
are
to
no
purpose
.
The
angle
,
and
net
of
the
gospell
of
Christ
,
must
by
those
who
haue
the
dispensation
thereof
giuen
them
by
God
,
be
vsed
accordingly
,
not
hanged
vpon
hedge
,
or
hidden
vnder
the
roofes
of
their
houses
.
For
fishes
are
creatures
as
hie
and
strange
of
men
,
as
any
are
,
&
loue
no
other
element
then
their
owne
;
nor
other
company
then
their
owne
,
worldly
men
are
so
affected
,
out
of
the
earth
which
is
their
element
they
would
not
goe
;
and
as
fishes
of
each
kind
skull
togeather
,
and
birdes
of
a
feather
flie
togeather
:
so
men
of
like
mindes
will
conuerse
togeather
,
and
they
are
loath
to
haue
fellowshippe
with
any
that
are
not
like
themselues
.
Wherefore
to
draw
fishes
to
vs
whether
they
will
or
no
,
doe
our
fishing
tew
serue
,
and
there
are
such
who
continually
lay
for
them
.
So
God
hath
giuen
vs
furniture
good
store
for
our
spirituall
fishing
,
and
hath
appointed
officers
for
the
purpose
to
see
to
this
busines
qualifying
them
accordingly
,
giuing
some
to
bee
Apostles
,
Peter
:
Philip
the
Apostle
fished
for
the
Eunuch
:
Paul
laid
out
his
hooke
for
Lidia
,
and
caught
her
.
It
was
Ananias
and
not
an
angell
that
angled
for
Paul
,
Whosoeuer
shall
call
vpon
the
name
of
the
Lord
shall
be
saued
.
But
how
shall
they
call
on
him
,
in
whome
they
haue
not
beleeued
?
and
how
shall
they
beleeue
in
him
,
of
whome
they
haue
not
heard
?
and
how
shall
they
hear
without
a
preacher
?
Thus
by
these
degrees
as
by
the
staues
of
a
ladder
,
are
wee
to
climbe
to
the
height
of
perfection
,
and
to
bee
drawne
from
the
bottome
of
miserie
,
to
the
toppe
of
felicitie
.
These
hang
togeather
like
the
linckes
of
a
chaine
and
may
not
bee
sundred

Peter
hath
left
his
boate
,
nets
,
and
all
his
fishing
furniture
for
preachers
to
employ
.
I
name
them
fishermen
,
because
of
right
that
name
is
due
vnto
them
,
and
it
hath
beene
giuen
them
of
old
.
Behold
saith
the
Lord
)
I
will
send
out
many
fishers
,
and
they
shall
fish
them
.
Andrew
.
Iames
and
Iohn
,
I
will
make
you
fishers
of
men
.
If
wee
lay
the
propherties
of
them
both
togeather
,
wee
shall
see
how
fitly
such
as
are
preachers
are
compared
vnto
fishers
.

Ditties

One
and
the
selfe
same
doctrine
agreeth
not
with
all
times
,
and
persons
:
but
preachers
are
to
fit
themselues
to
the
nature
of
the
hearers
,
sometimes
to
forme
songs
of
mercie
to
comfort
them
,
&
sometimes
to
deliuer
ditties
of
iudgements
which
may
bee
a
corsiue
vnto
them
:
some
times
to
pipe
vnto
them
that
they
may
daunce
,
and
sometimes
to
mourne
,
to
make
them
lament
:
Gregorie
Nazianzen
casteth
their
water
,
and
giueth
this
iudgement
of
them
,
in
the
cause
we
haue
in
hand
.

Wee
are
not
to
despise
any
disciplimatie
knowledge
,
for
that
al
learning
is
in
the
rancke
of
good
things
:
rather
the
scorners
thereof
are
to
be
thought
to
bee
as
ignorant
as
themselues
,
that
their
ignorance
might
not
appeare
in
its
proper
likenes
.
If
this
bee
enough
to
put
downe
Philosophy
because
some
haue
bin
misled
thereby
,
wee
may
by
like
reason
vrge
that
the
sunne
should
bee
taken
from
the
firmament
,
&
the
moone
should
bee
done
away
,
inasmuch
as
some
haue
worshipped
them
as
Gods
.
But
we
list
first
to
conclude
our
iudgement
by
suffrages
of
scriptures
.
The
inhibition
and
promise
of
the
lawe
for
the
not
marrying
of

Daniel
was

Menander

because

to
be
seated
in
euery
priests
breast
.
The
priests
lippes
keepe
knowledge
,
and
they
should
seeke
the
law
at
his
mouth
.
&
Tit.
1.9
.
&
2.6.7.8
.
Matth.
13.52
.
To
which
appertaineth
that
precept
of
the
Apostle
,
enioyning
the
minister
that
hee
be
able
to
teach
.
Finally
answerable
to
their
saying
,
is
Christ
his
saying
;
Euerie
scribe
learned
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
bringeth
out
of
his
treasure
thinges
both
new
and
old
.
It
was
an
olde
saying
(
though
it
is
much
out
of
vse
now
)
The
law
shall
not
depart
from
the
priest
,
nor
counsell
from
the
wise
,
&
passim
,
aliis
cap.
nor
the
word
from
the
Prophet
.
The
minister
of
the
old
testament
was
able
to
iudge
what
parte
euery
one
ought
to
haue
in
the
sacrifice
,
what
portion
belonged
to
the
Lorde
,
what
was
due
to
the
people
,
and
what
accrued
to
the
priest
:
so
should
the
spirituall
snard
in
the
Lords
house
,
bee
of
that
vnderstanding
,
and
discretion
,
as
to
distribute
to
euery
one
his
diuidence
in
due
season
.
They
knew
not
the
Lord
.
If
no
man
will
trust
a
great
part
of
them
with
mony
;
in
what
case
are
soules
committed
to
their
trust
?
But
let
vs
consider
,
how
in
other
partes
the
minister
holdeth
comparison
with
the
fisherman
.
2.
The
fisherman
when
he
casteth
out
his
nette
or
angle-rodde
,
knoweth
not
how
to
speed
,
but
sometimes
hee
hath
good
lucke
at
the
first
,
&
sometimes
at
the
last
,
&
sometimes
none
at
all
.
It
is
so
with
the
preacher
of
Gods
most
holy
worde
,
who
sometimes
but
with
once
preaching
edifieth
much
,
Peter
,
maister
,
all
the
day
long
haue
I
fished
,
and
got
nothing
:
and
he
is
driuen
to
take
vppe
the
Lords
complaint
in
the
mouth
of
the
Prophet
.
Lord
who
hath
beleeued
our
report
,
and
to
whom
is
the
arme
of
the
Lord
reuealed
.
The
fisherman
fareth
as
his
hap
is
:
&c:
Iere
1.9
.
Ezek.
31.2.3
.
so
the
preacher
speedeth
according
as
God
blesseth
,
who
giueth
him
the
tonge
of
the
learned
to
vtter
words
of
grace
in
due
time
,
who
toucheth
his
lippes
with
a
coale
from
his
altar
which
inflameth
the
hearts
of
the
people
,
who
onely
openeth
him
a
doore
of
vtterance
whereby
his
words
minister
grace
vnto
the
hearers
.

build
,
sowe
,
plante
regenerate
,
wash
away
sinnes
,
forgiue
.
But
because
these
are
done
by
them
by
vertue
of
their
office
,
we
must
looke
higher
,
namely
vnto
him
who
hath
put
them
in
office
,
who
in
meere
mercie
worketh
thus
effectually
by
them
:
Who
is
Paul
?
and
who
is
Apollo
?
but
the
ministers
by
whom
ye
beleeued
,
and
as
the
Lorde
gaue
to
euerie
man
?
I
haue
planted
,
Apollo
watred
,
but
God
gaue
the
encrease
.
So
then
neither
is
he
that
planteth
any
thing
,
neither
hee
that
watreth
,
but
God
that
giueth
the
encrease
.
Also
in
the
same
place
,
calling
him selfe
and
his
fellow
Apostles
,
Gods
labourers
:
he
taketh
vp
these
titles
,
of
Gods
husbandry
,
and
Gods
building
:
that
all
the
good
successe
of
our
labours
whatsoeuer
,
might
bee
ascribed
to
God
,
&
that
no
part
of
the
credit
of
it
,

in

was

that
brought

to
this

Gods
hande
was

who
illuminated

by

and
prepared
him
by

making

The
like
wee

of
Cornelius

:
of
the
great
Chamberlaine
to
the
Aethiopian
Queene

of

who
were

gained
to

but
the

of
a
better
workeman
than
they
,
first
ledd
them
into

and
made
them

If

doe
any
good
by
our
spiritual

,
if
we
haue
encreased

if
wee
haue

more
than

let
vs
with

blesse
God
for
our
labours
,
and
say
;
Not
I
,
but
the
grace
of
God
in
me
:
and
with
the
elders
in
the
Reuelation
,
All

so
let

,
among

For

God

saith

and

(
as

that
conceiued
to
himselfe
that

was

,
and
that
he
might
daze

eyes
of

knowledge
,
argued

&
hath
this
flout
for

.
O
you
foole
,
when
will
you
vnderstand
?
He
that
made

eye
,
shal
he
not
see
?
The
Lord
knoweth
the
thoughts
of
men
that
they
are
but
vain
.
It
was
as
absurdly
said
as
might
be
,
of
the
2.
old
fornicators
that
assaulted
Susanna
:
Behold
the
Garden
dores
are
shut
,
that
no
man
can
see

:
For
neither
a
partition
walle
of
stone
,
or
any
secret
pauilion
,
or
the
darkenes
of
the
night
,
can
couer
or
keepe
our
misdeedes
from
Gods
knowledge
,
seeing
it
reacheth
to
the
very
intendments
of
the
hearte
:
If
we
haue
forgotten
the
name
of
our
God
,
and
holden
vp
our
handes
to
any
strange
God
,
shall
not
God
search
it
out
?
for
hee
knoweth
the
very
secrets
of
the
heart
.
In
an
other
place
,
as
nothing
doubting
of
the
omniscience
of
God
,
he
layeth
downe
his
thoughts
at
the
feet
of
God
to
vndergoe
his
tryall
.
Trie
me
O
God
,
and
seeke
the
ground
of
my
heart
:
prooue
me
,
and
examine
my
thoughts
.
In
the
fourth
part
of
that
Psalme
,
Thou
art
about
my
path
,
and
about
my
bed
,
and
spiest
out
all
my
wayes
.
For
loe
,
there
is
not
a
word
in
my
tongue
,
but
thou
Lord
knowest
it
altogether
:
when
the
Apostles
were
to
surrogate
an
Apostle
to
make
vppe
the
twelue
,
in
the
roome
of
Iudas
that
had
made
defection
,
and
wrought
his
owne
destruction
,
and
they
pricked
and
presented
two
,
Barsabas
and
Matthias
,
they
called
vpon
God
,
that
they
might
make
election
of
the
best
by
his
direction
,
Thou
Lord
which
knowest
the
heartes
of
all
men
,
shew
whether
of
these
two
thou
hast
chosen
.
As
Iob
giueth
to
God
all
power
:
so
hee
giueth
all
knowledge
vnto
him
,
euen
of
the
inner
imagination
of
mans
mind
:
I
know
that
thou
canst
doe
all
thinges
,
and
that
there
is
no
thought
hid
from
thee
.
So
doth
Ieremie
:
The
heart
is
dece●tfull
,
and
wicked
aboue
all
thinges
,
who
can
know
it
?
I
the
Lord
search
the
heart
,
and
trie
the
reynes
.
In
this
respect
the
spirite
giueth
him
fierie
eyes
,
which
search
thoroughly
as
they
goe
.
His
eyes
were
as
a
flame
of
fire
;
wherfore
they
serue
to
giue
him
light
in
the
night
season
,
and
to
make
day
and
night
alike
vnto
him
,
according
to
that
which
Dauid
saith
:
If
I
say
the
darknes
shall
hide
me
,
then
shall
my
night
be
turned
to
day
:
yea
the
darkenes
is
no
darknesse
with
thee
,
but
the
night
is
as
cleere
as
the
day
,
the
darknes
and
light
to
thee
are
both
alike
:
wherefore
no
fisherman
may
sooner
bee
mistaken
in
his
fish
while
they
are
in
his
nette
in
the
water
:
than
we
may
be
and
are
of
the
condicions
of
men
,
while
wee
haue
them
but
in
the
compasse
of
our
nettes
in
this
present
world
.
We
should
not
measure
the
Church
by
the
line
of
our
affections
,
by

Some
measure
the
Church
by
the
line
of
their
affections
,
by
the
plentie
and
prosperitie
of
the
times
:
which
was
the
dotage
of
the
old
Israelites
in
Ieremies
time
prating
thus
vnto
him
:
since
wee
left
off
to
burne
incense
to
the
Queen
of
heauen
,
&
to
poure
out
drinke
offerings
vnto
her
,
we
haue
had
scarcenesse
of
all
thinges
,
and
haue
been
consumed
by
the
sword
,
&
by
famine
.
And
when
we
burnt
incense
to
the
queen
of
heauen
,
&
powredout
drink
offring
,
vnto
her
,
did
wee
make
her
cakes
,
to
make
her
glad
,
and
poure
out
drinke
offerings
vnto
her
without
our
husbands
?
But
was
Ioseph
the
worse
because
he
was
imprisoned
?
or
Dauid
the
worse
because
hee
was
banished
?
or
the
Church
the
worse
because
it
hath
been
so
long
persecuted
,
and
of
barbarous
tyrants
so
cruelly
intreated
?
It
is
the
badge
of
the
beast
,
that
hee
shall
giue
warre
to
the
Saintes
,
Prosperitie
&c.
no
true
marke
of
the
Church
.
and
vanquish
them
.
The
Israelites
,
whom
we
doubted
not
were
the
Church
of
God
,
had
twice
very
vnhappie
speed
in
their
warres
waged
with
the
Beniamites
.
Haue
not
the
Turkes
often
warred
&
preuailed
against
the
Christians
?
wherefore
wee
are
blind
and
see
nothing
,
if
we
make
this
a
marke
of
the
Church
,
and
we
wish
such
with
the
Careat

Quisquis

are

and
who
are

consent
of
the
greater
number

,
fancying
the
fondnes
of
the

,
herein
running

Bias

of

,
drawing
this
absurdity
with

are
sometimes
at
oddes
about
outward
matters
;
Loth
and
his

differed
for
a

.
The
brethren
ioyntly
did
hate

intend
much
hurt
vnto
Ioseph
.
The
priests
and
Princes
of
the
people
very
often
seuered
themselues
from

.
In
the
sacred
societie
of
Christ
there
were
emulations
and
distentions
,
a
very
hotte
garboile
was
among
them
for

.
The
other
tenne
disdained
that
the
two
brethren
Iames
and
Iohn
shoulde
stand
for

aboue
others
.
Paul
withstood
Peter
to
the
verie
head
of
him
.
They
of
the
circumcision
came
against
Peter
in
open
disputation
.
A
great
contention
among
the
primitiue
Christians
did
arise
,
concerning
the
annuall
celebration
of
the
feast
of
Easter
.
Betweene
the
Bishops
of
Africa
and
Rome
was
great
and
long
a
doe
about
the
baptisme
of
heretiques
.
Hierome
did
absolutely
oppose
himselfe
against

.
So
did

against

.
Betweene
the

,
there
was
little
trouble
about
rites

.
Therefore
let

aduersaries
lay

of

was
stinted
by
the

:
so
the

who
searcheth

The

seuereth

such

must

the

hath
the
name

a

giuen
him
.
As
the
name
of
shepheard
is
commonly
giuen
to
the
ciuill
magistrate
,
so
the
title
of
a
fisherman
is
set
vpon
a
minister
,
and
they
haue
not
these
their
names
for
naught
,
but
to
shake
them
by
the
shoulders
,
and
set
them
on
their
feet
,

to
put

In

THE

The
especiall

the
spirituall
fisherman

ORdinarie
Fisher-men
haue
many
obseruations
,
hauing
excellent
correspondencie
with
the
Office
of
the
ministerie
.
1.
They
obserue
the
qualities
of
Fishes
in
their
kinds
,
and
fit
themselues
to
their
seuerall
natures
.
Whether
they
floate
higher
,
or
swimme
neere
the
ground
,
or
keepe
themselues
in
holes
,
or
runne
into
the
mud
,
they
haue
meanes
and
wayes
to
come
by
them
.
The
spirituall
Fisherman
learneth
from
this
schoole
,
Quo
minime
credas
gurgite
,
piscis
erit
.
A
Fish
will
be
in
that
same
plot
which
thou
thinkst
not
.
Elias
thought
himself
the
only
remainder
of
the
Church
of
Israel
,
I
haue
much
people
in
this
Citie
.
It
is
the
part
of
the
faithfull
minister
to
despaire
of
none
,
for
the
Lords
hand
is
not
so
short
,
but
hee
can
saue
.
4.
Fishermen
and
such
as
are
expert
Anglers
,
consider
many
circumstances
that
make
for
their
better
angling
disport
,
as
the
winde
,
the
water
,
the
ebbing
and
flowing
of
it
,
the
time
of
the
day
,
the
temperature
of
the
ayer
,
and
many
such
like
tokens
.
The
opportunitie
that
is
taken
,
is
all
in
all
in
fishing
affaires
;
and
in
all
other
affaires
,
which
who
so
neglecteth
,
faileth
of
his
fancie
,
The
deceits
of
Sathan
and
wicked
men
,
in
taking
opportunities
.
and
sheweth
his
folly
.
Hereto
must
the
spirituall
fisher
take
most
heed
,
and
espie
his
times
and
seasons
for
his
purpose
.
This
the
deuill
and
his
adherents
doe
apprehend
in
their
deuilish
deuises
:
and
therefore
let
vs
intend
the
same
earnestly
in
religious
indeuours
.
The
deuill
at
his
first
onsetre
of
temptation
against
Christ
in
the
wildernesse
,
tooke
the
occasion
and
aduantage
of
his
hunger
:
for
that
is
a
forcible
sollicitor
with
man
to
any
euill
attempt
,
for
which
cause
the
olde
saying
was
,
Venter
non
habet
aures
,
The
bellye
hath
no
eares
,
it
will
not
bee
led
by
reason
.
And
the
wiser
sort
haue
called
famine
,
Maleuada
,
a
very
badde
counsellor
in
all
kinde
of
actions
.
Diabolus
omnium
discutit
consuetudines
,
Be
as
wise
as
serpents
.
Marke
the
inclination
of
a
man
,
whether
he
refort
to
the
preached
word
,
if
hee
doth
,
haue
comfort
in
him
,
and
doubt
not
but
by
trowling
and
trameling
for
him
,
thou
shalt
haue
him
.
For
his
outward
comming
to
the
Word
,
giueth
great
hope
of
the
inwarde
comming
of
the
spirit
,
and
so
of
his
happy
comming
into
the
nette
,
according
to
that
which
Christ
saith
:
They
that
are
of
God
,
heare
Gods
word
:
Marke
his
conuersation
,
&
his
company
,
for
commonly
as
a
man
is
consorted
,
he
is
qualified
.
With
the
holy
thou
shalt
bee
holy
,
and
with
the
froward
man
thou
shalt
learne
frowardnesse
.
Another
marke
of
the
better
sort
of
men
,
doth
Dauid
in
the
fifteeneth
Psalme
giue
mee
,
He
maketh
much
of
such
as
feare
the
Lord
.
By
this
Rule
I
iudge
of
a
Papist
,
and
an
enemie
to
Religion
,
hearing
him
blunder
against
Luther
,
Caluin
,
Beza
,
and
such
like
renowned
Saintes
and
Seruants
of
God
.
I
will
insist
in
such
circumstances
no
longer
,
a
thousand
such
specialties
may
be
inserted
,
which
I
leaue
to
euery
faithfull
Fisherman
,
to
finde
out
in
his
own
pastorall
function
,
&
to
make
wholsome
and
gainfull
vse
thereof
,
in
his
best
discretion
;
only
I
say
this
,
that
though
I
see
not
a
Fish
in
the
water
,
yet
when
I
perceiue
that
my
corke
or
floate
is
vnder
the
water
,
I
know
well
enough
that
a
Fish
hath
taken
the
baite
:
So
,
though
we
see
not
into
the
secret
minde
of
man
,
yet
by
outward
effects
,
one
may
determine
of
inward
affects
,
and
certainely
conclude
,
that
our
godly
admonitions
(
which
are
our
baytes
we
lay
for
soules
)
are
taken
.
5.
It
is
the
Anglers
order
,
when
hee
hath
a
great
Fish
hanging
at
his
hooke
,
to
vse
him
gently
with
an
euen
lyne
leading
him
vppe
and
downe
,
vntill
hee
hath
wearied
him
,
and
then
he
layeth
his
hande
vpon
him
,
and
heaueth
him
vppe
;
for
,
if
hee
shall
snatch
him
vp
greedily
at
the
first
,
and
deale
rigorously
with
him
,
with
the
poize
and
wayte
of
his
body
,
hee
will
break
lyne
and
Angle-rodde
,
and
escape
.
So
let
Gods
angelicall
Angler
Amplecti
venientes
,
gently
entertaine
such
as
are
comming
on
,
and
haue
taken
downe
the
hooke
they
haue
layde
for
them
,
and
by
the
coales
of
kindnesse
heaped
vpon
their
heades
,
Ah
sinfull
nation
,
ah
people
laden
with
iniquitie
:
a
seed
of
the
wicked
corrupt
children
.
But
when
Ionas
was
sent
out
of
his
owne
parish
beeing
preacher
to
the
Iewes
,
to
denounce
Gods
Iudgement
against
the
Niniuites
,
who
were
of
the
Gentiles
,
hee
insisted
only
in
his
text
of
commination
according
to
Iniunction
,
Yee
stiffe-necked
,
and
of
vncircumcised
hearts
and
eares
,
yee
haue
alwayes
resisted
the
holy
Ghost
.
Also
according
to
their
continuance
in
Gods
Schoole
,
and
the
time
of
their
learning
,
the
Apostles
framed
their
stiles
of
inditing
.
Paul
was
ceremoniall
when
hee
was
to
beget
the
yonger
sort
in
faith
and
knowledge
vnto
God
:
yet
in
the
Galathians
he
will
not
endure
them
,
&c.
Sathan
skilfull
in
this
angling
occupation
:
his
trickes
.
because
they
had
otherwise
a
long
time
learned
Christ
.
The
deuill
I
warrant
you
as
hee
is
perfect
in
this
angling
occupation
,
so
hee
knoweth
how
to
handle
a
fish
that
hee
hath
hooked
,
that
hee
may
not
breake
from
him
.
Among
other
trickes
that
hee
hath
,
he
will
giue
them
line
and
libertie
,
but
he
will
not
suffer
him
to
walke
further
than
he
list
,
but
he
draweth
him
in
againe
when
it
best
pleaseth
him
.
Hee
playeth
with
his
Fish
,
as
the
child
playeth
with
his
bird
,
which
he
tyeth
by
the
legge
with
a
string
,
and
suffereth
him
to
flye
the
length
of
the
threed
only
:
when
hee
had
hooked
Herod
by
incestuous
temptation
,
he
drew
him
not
vp
forthwith
vnto
himselfe
,
Iohn
Baptist
willingly
,
and
in
many
things
to
be
counselled
by
him
,
for
the
line
of
his
vnsatiable
lust
was
strong
enough
to
holde
him
.
Who
is
weake
,
and
I
burne
not
?
and
shall
haue
mercy
in
their
lippes
and
hearts
.
Otherwise
if
they
fasten
their
teeth
vpon
them
vpon
euery
occasion
,
they
are
Non
correptores
,
sedcorrosores
,
as
Bernarde
saith
:
Bernard
.
Augustine
.
Esay

.
Matth.

.
Non

:
as

:
They
betray
them
,
rather
than
teach
them
:
they
gnawe
and
consume
them
,
rather
than
correct
them
.
And
so
they
breake
Christs
rule
in
the
case
,
by
breaking
the
bruised
reed
,
and
quenching
the
smoaking
flaxe
,
and
keeping
him
downe
that
is

that
hee
rise
vp
no
more

If
wee
make
a
mixture
of
the
oyle
of
admonition
and
the
wine
of
compunction
:
the
oyle
of
charitie
,
and
the
wine
of
zeale
,
it
is
the
best
ingredience
and
prescript
we
can

.

The
differing
kinds
of

,
must
haue
diuers
kindes
of
remedies
:
what
preaching
is
there
of
mercy
to
the
vilde
and
wicked
man
,
whose
heart
is
harder
than
the
nethermost
milstone

a
razor
being
sooner
able
to
cut
a
whet-stone
,
than
any
doctrine
powerfull
to
stirre
him
to
compunction
?
Sing
woe
,
not
therefore
songs
of
mercie
,
to
such
sinners
.
For
if
we
do
,
we
may
put
vp
our
pipes
,
we
speak
rather
to
the
ayre
,
than
their
eares
,
and
our
wordes
are
but
winde
;
for
what
saith
Isaiah
in

Let
mercie
be
shewed
to
the
wicked
,

he
will
not
learne
righteousnesse

was

truely

get

with

vnconscionable
flesh-hookes

did

let

themselues

killed

were
such

not

would
shut

sake

or
put
fire

Altar

vnlesse

they
had

The
mopish
monkish

are
all
such
,
who
will
wincke
at
any
wickednes

so
it
toucheth
no

commoditie

But
if
it
concerneth
their
Free-hold
and
questious
affaires
,
the
whole
crowde
of
them
come
together
,
I
will
make
you
fishers
of
men
.
All
mankind
absolutely
are
vnder
the
charge
of
the
Euangelicall
Fishermen
,
to
be
drawne
out
of
the
tempestuous
sea
of
this
world
to
the
kingdom
of
grace
.
It
is
a
manifest
marke
of
a
false
fisherman
;
of
a
barterer
and
purloyner
of
the
worde
of
God
,
The
word
came
vnto
the
King
of
Niniueh
,
The
poore
receiue
the
Gospell
.
God
hath
chosen
the
foolish
things
of
the
world
to
confound
the
wise
,
and
the
weake
to
confound
the
mightie
,
&c.
The
natiuitie
of
Christ
by
Gods
heauenly
Herauld
,
was
first
published
to
the
poore
shepheards
.
The
sicke
,
Be
wise
,
O
ye
kings
,
be
learned
ye
that
are
iudges
of
the
earth
:
serue
the
Lord
with
feare
,
and
reioyce
vnto
him
with
reuerence
.
Kisse
the
sonne
least
he
be
angry
,
and
so
ye
perish
from
the
right
way
.
But
as
if
Religion
were
no
part
of
their
profession
;
they
are
in
the
rereward
,
and
in
hunting
,
hauking
,
feasting
,
building
,
bestow
their
whole
liues
.
And
such
haue
their
Athists
,
Parasites
,
and
Sycophants
,
to
enchaunt
their
soules
with
a
supine
securitie
,
and
to
stir
them
vp
into
all
presumption
:
soothing
them
vp
in
their
euils
already
done
,
and
giuing
them
libertie
to
doe
more
.
For
which
cause
they
will
capitulate
and
indent
with
preachers
,
and
prescribe
them
a
course
of
speaking
,
and
inhibite
the
printing
of
such
books
,
and
prouide
that
such
billes
come
not
to
the
Kings
hands
,
which
they
haue
not
first
examined
and
allowed
.
Wherefore
Princes
are
much
to
be
pittied
and
prayed
for
,
that
in
such
slipperie
pathes
they
may
keepe
their
feete
,
and
among
so
many
Syrens
winde
themselues
out
of
the
bias
of
the
world
,
and
come
to
the
hooke
and
net
of
Gods
word
.
But
of
these
men-fishes
that
we
are
to
bayt
for
,
are
many
sundry
sorts
.
I
list
not
to
diuide
them
into
their
seuerall
kindes
by
way
of
comparison
,
but
I
wil
diuide
them
as
they
were
of
olde
in
the
Iewish
policie
into
these
two
natures
.
They
are
all
become
abominable
in
their
doings
:
there
is
not
one
that
doeth
good
,
no
not
one
.
But
yet
there
is
that
difference
among
men
,
as
wee
haue
made
before
of
fishes
;
wee
distinguish
of
both
kindes
by
these
two
markes
of
knowledge
.
1.
Their
sinnes
,
and
scales
.
2.
Their
defect
of
them
.
The
cleane
haue
them
both
:
the
vncleane
want
them
both
.
Their
finnes
(
as
it
appeares
)
serue
as
wings
vnto
them
to
raise
them
vp
on
high
,
to
the
height
of
the
water
:
which
serue
to
shadow
out
a
sanctified
man
,
whose
conuersation
is
in
heauen
:
who
seeketh
those
things
that
are
aboue
,
and
who
lifteth
vp
his
minde
by
heauenly
contemplation
,
aboue
all
earthly
things
.
The
scales
betoken
as
Gregorie
Nazianzen
insinuateth
,
the
doing
off
the
old
man
,
and
the
putting
on
the
newe
:
or
as
the
Latines
would
haue
it
,
the
doing
away
their
stiffenesse
and
hardnesse
of
minde
,
and
their
tractabilitie
and
conformitie
vnto
God
.
which
are
the
two
termes
of
a
true
conuert
,
called
in
the
Schooles
;
1.
Terminus
a
quo
.
2.
Terminus
ad
quem
.
An
auersion
from
sinne
,
a
conuersion
to
God
:
the
mortification
of
the
olde
Adam
,
and
the
vinification
of
the
newe
man
.
Nowe
such
as
haue
neither
sinne
nor
scale
;
neither
floate
high
,
or
abide
in
deepes
:
but
keepe
wholely
in
Foordes
,
and
in
shallowe
waters
,
wrigling
and
wallowing
alwayes
in
the
mudde
as
the
Eele
,
Lamprey
,
Turbot
.
Such
are
the
worldly
minded
men
that
sinke
downe
into
the
mire
and
pudle
of
sinne
,
and
are
so
ouerwhelmed
and
burdened
with
it
,
as
neither
they
can
forsake
their
filthy
affections
:
or
raise
themselues
higher
by
better
cogitations
.
Such
were
the
Phylosophers
of
the
Gentiles
,
Hierusalem
;
Peter
was
Sathan
.
That
Iesus
was
the
Sonne
of
the
liuing
God
,
hee
was
not
Sathan
,
but
Cephas
,
and
Simon
,
and
a
blessed
man
.
Also
those
Lampreyes
are
those
liuers
,
that
straine
the
Lawe
like
skinne
of
parchment
vpon
the
tortures
of
their

They

Eles

of

there
is
no

varying

they

Of

many
of

who
greedily

Let

THE
EIGHT
CHAPTER
.
The
Sympathie
of
natures
,
of
the
fishes
of
both
natures
.
I
May
say
of
the
Earthfish
,
and
Water-fish
;
of
men-fish
,
and
sea-fish
,
of
the
nature
of
them
both
:
That
poene
illa
est
,
&
poene
illa
non
est
:
It
is
almost
like
,
and
almost
not
alike
,
&
that
it
is
difficult
to
distinguish
them
.
Wherein
they
agree
and
ioyne
together
in
one
,
it
shall
bee
shewed
in
this
Chapter
:
some
differences
that
wee
doe
obserue
to
bee
in
them
,
we
put
to
the
next
.
First
,
they
are
natur'd
a
like
for
their
crueltie
.
And
they
eate
also
the
flesh
of
my
people
,
and
fley
of
their
skinnes
,
and
they
breake
their
bones
,
and
choppe
them
in
peeces
as
for
the
potte
,
as
flesh
within
the
chaldron
.
In
initio
non
fuit
sic
.
In
the
beginning
it
was
not
so
.
For
man
was
made
for
a
helpe
to
man
,
and
as
a
god
to
man
,
as
Moses
was
to
Aaron
.
When
will
he
die
,
and
his
name
perish
?
But
wee
will
bee
(
if
we
may
haue
our
choice
)
the
very
speculators
,
or
spectators
our selues
.
I
maruaile
not
therefore
one
whit
,
that
Dauid
made
exception
against
his
owne
kinde
,
and
did
put
vp
this
petition
:
Let
vs
fall
now
into
the
hand
of
the
Lorde
:
and
let
me
not
fall
into
the
hand
of
man
.
For
he
felt
what
he
spake
,
and
spake
as
he
had
felt
.
For
hee
knew
them
both
,
aswell
as
he
knewe
one
hand
from
another
:
the
mercy
of
the
one
,
and
the
mischiefe
of
the
other
.
For
comparing
them
together
hee
doth
thus
distinguish
them
,
by
the
kindenesse
and
crueltie
of
both
natures
.
Wherefore
,
in
the
fore-named
place
,
this
as
reason
is
giuen
of
his
petition
,
For
his
mercies
are
great
.
If
you
aske
him
how
great
,
he
answereth
,
that
it
is
illimited
in
these
words
,
the
staffe
and
burden
of
his
Ode
:
Thy
mercy
endureth
for
euer
.
But
hee
casteth
his
owne
kinde
into
contrary
colours
,
thus
portraying
it
out
vnto
vs
,
that
wee
might
see
our selues
and
bee
ashamed
.
Their
throate
is
an
open
Sepulchre
:
they
haue
vsed
their
tongues
to
deceite
:
the
poyson
of
Aspes
is
vnder
their
lippes
.
Whose
mouth
is
full
of
cursing
and
bitternesse
:
their
feete
are
swift
to
shed
blood
.
Destruction
and
calamitie
are
in
their
wayes
,
and
the
way
of
peace
they
haue
not
knowne
.
Hee
contrarie
to
all
craftes-men
of
such
things
,
painteth
out
man
vnto
vs
:
so
that
Appelles
compared
with
him
,
may
put
vp
his
pensill
.
For
hee
and
his
Apprentises
can
take
out
but
the
out-warde
proprotion
of
the
man
;
the
face
,
breast
,
bellie
,
thighes
,
legges
,
feete
,
and
such
like
,
the
heart
and
inward
parts
,
they
leaue
vnshadowed
.
But
the
hand
of
this
cunning
worke-man
vnbowelleth
him
,
fifteth
him
throughly
,
discouereth
his
hidden
minde
,
and
the
whole
man
vnto
vs
.
And
truely
the
Poet
consulted
with
this
coppy
without
question
,
when
hee
gaue
this
counterfeit
,
and
did
set
him
vp
in
a
table
to
our
view
with
a
pale
and
wanne
face
without
blood
:
with
a
leane
and
lanke
body
without
moysture
:
with
bleared
eyes
:
blacke
teeth
;
with
a
heart
made
of
gall
;
with
a
tongue
tipt
with
poison
:
neuer
merry
but
when
others
mourne
:
neuer
sleeping
because
they
are
alwayes
imagining
mischiefe
.
The
truth
heereof
hath
beene
practized
vpon
the
master
,
by
the
seruant
of
his
owne
tabernacle
:
vpon
the
Soueraigne
,
by
the
subiect
of
his
owne
Court
:
vpon
the
father
,
by
the
sonne
of
his
owne
loynes
:
vpon
the
brother
,
by
the
brother
that
hath
layd
in
the
same
bed
of
his
mothers
wombe
with
him
:
vpon
the
husband
,
by
the
wife
,
sleeping
securely
(
and
as
hee
nothing
doubted
)
safelie
in
her
bosome
.
If
we
thinke
better
of
man
than
thus
,
we
doe
beguile
our selues
,
and
so
the
Gentile
Christian
Seneca
,
telleth
thee
saying
,
Fallens
si
confidas
ijs
tibi
occurrentibus
:
Durt
soaked
in
blood
,
Domitius
Nero
,
when
hee
had
set
fire
to
the
citie
of
Rome
,
in
twelue
seuerall
places
,
to
shadowe
out
the
combustion
of
Troy
,
to
the
Romans
;
sung
in
the
meane
time
,
when
the
citie
was
in
burning
,
Verses
out
of
Homer
,
his
heart
being
hooped
with
all
barbaritie
,
and
beeing
filled
vp
to
the
eyes
with
all
Scythian
crueltie
.
What
shal
I
say
of
the
Vice-consull
Messola
,
that
ruled
in
Asia
,
Lucius
Silla
,
who
by
one
condemnatorie
sentence
,
did
cast
away
foure
thousand
and
seauen-hundred
soules
;
and
caused
a
Register
to
bee
made
of
it
,
In
perpetuam
rei
memoriam
:
For
the
euerlasting
remembrance
thereof
?
Or
of
those
that
killed
Christians
by
thousands
,
as
Maximianus
,
who
burnt
in
one
Temple
twentie
thousand
met
together
to
solemnize
the
Natiuitie
of
Christ
?
Domitian
,
Commodus
,
Bassian
,
Dyonisian
,
comming
neere
them
,
and
this
their
villanie
among
the
West
Indians
without
mercie
shewed
,
apparantly
prooueth
,
who
in
one
Iland
called
Hispaniola
,
of
two
hundred
thousand
people
,
scarse
left
one
hundred
and
a
halfe
aliue
.
Thus
they
threshed
with
yron
flayles
those
people
,
as
the
men
of
Damascus
did
Gilead
,
That
that
dyeth
,
let
it
dye
.
How
farre
were
these
men
,
from
the
practise
of
the
precept
of
the
Lawe
,
which
in
seeking
of
birds
neasts
,
2.
Let
the
second
sympathy
,
between
the
Soyl-fish
and
the
Sea-fish
,
bee
their
greedie
couetousnesse
.
Wherein
the
one
Bee
partaketh
with
the
other
.
As
if
the
sea-fish
had
fathered
them
,
and
they
were
of
their
spawning
,
no
sooner
a
vild
peece
of
worme
is
let
downe
the
water
,
but
if
they
bee
in
place
,
it
is
a
wonder
to
see
what
a
sort
doe
seeke
after
it
.
There
is
no
regard
of
degrees
among
them
:
But
Capiat
qui
capere
potest
,
is
the
lawe
of
that
Court
.
Yea
,
the
frye
,
and
pettie
ones
doe
so
fill
the
place
,
as
the
greater
cannot
come
in
place
.
And
is
not
this
the
fashion
of
the
worlde
vp
and
downe
?
Is
not
euery
meane
office
catched
vp
(
if
not
before
)
yet
as
soone
as
it
can
fall
?
Runne
not
euery
one
to
euery
commoditie
,
as
beggers
to
a
doale
?
Are
not
many
of
best
marke
and
qualitie
altogether
vnprouided
for
;
the
meaner
sort
hauing
beene
before
them
,
and
taken
vp
their
roomes
?
Euery
one
striueth
to
bee
first
at
the
baite
,
though
their
baine
bee
vnder
it
:
as
it
commonly
falleth
out
.
For
Titles
,
Offices
,
wordly
riches
,
are
nothing
else
but
angle-lynes
,
snares
,
nets
,
to
catch
vs
vnawares
:
Which
so
entangled
Iudas
,
as
hee
could
neuer
get
out
of
them
,
before
they
had
trussed
him
.
The
hooke
or
snare
taketh
not
the
fish
,
vnlesse
the
baite
take
him
first
.
But
whilst
he
runneth
so
hastily
to
the
baite
,
&
swalloweth
it
home
:
the
nette
or
hooke
speedeth
him
.
The
baite
of
the
deuils
hooke
is
couetousnesse
,
which
killeth
and
not
comforteth
vs
.
The
fisherman
baiteth
not
his
hooke
that
the
fish
might
only
take
it
;
but
be
taken
of
it
.
The
deuill
could
not
make
such
a
fishing
as
hee
doth
,
had
wee
not
such
a
delight
to
his
baytes
,
little
considering
what
harme
there
is
in
them
.
But
the
poore
fish
feeleth
it
too
late
,
when
he
cannot
flye
from
it
:
Nam
dum
capit
capitur
.
For
he
is
taken
in
taking
it
.
The
bait
of
an
hooke
is
like
the
egge
of
an
Aspe
,
which
is
very
white
and
goodly
to
beholde
,
to
the
out-ward
sight
,
but
if
wee
breake
it
,
we
shall
finde
nothing
but
poison
in
it
;
and
the
poison
that
breaketh
out
of
it
,
killeth
vs
.
The
red
worme
,
caseworme
,
magget
flie
,
small
roche
,
or
such
like
,
wherewith
wee
couer
our
hooke
to
beguile
the
fish
,
are
glorious
in
out-ward
appearance
to
the
fish
,
but
they
are
the
death
&
destruction
of
the
fish
.
So
the
riches
,
prioritie
,
authoritie
of
the
world
,
are
but
pleasant
bayts
,
laid
out
for
our
destruction
.
The
fishermans
bayte
is
a
deadly
deceite
:
Abner
:
Knowest
thou
not
that
it
wil
be
bitternesse
in
the
latter
end
?
As
all
the
waters
of
the
riuers
runne
into
the
salt-sea
:
so
all
worldly
delights
,
in
the
saltish
sea
of
sorrowes
finish
their
course
.
The
pleasures
of
the
vngodly
world
in
Noah
his
time
,
in
cheering
,
carowsing
,
&
singing
a
Requiem
to
themselues
,
of
a
suddaine
swoomme
away
with
the
flood
.
&c.

Let
the
lustie-guts
,
that
is
in
the
prime
of
his
age
,
and
pride
of
his
rage
,
be
sure
of
a
iudgement
.
The
garmandizing
Epicure
,
hollowed
not
so
much
whilest
hee
was
in
the
earth
,
but
he
howled
as
much
when
hee
was
in
hell
.
It
was
but
dumpish
delight
,
that
Saul
had
in
his
mad
melancholy
in
the
sweete
notes
of
Dauid
,
Capio
,
capis
,
ad
capiendum
,
without
declination
from
any
point
thereof
,
being
so
inseparably
conioyned
vnto
him
.
Si
caput

capio
,

Herein
also
the
similidude
holdeth
betweene
men
and
fishes
,
that
both
kinds
by
nature
are
dissolute
and
lawlesse
.
The
fishes
without
any
order
or
ranke
,
runne
euery
way
as
they
list
,
without
checke
or
controulement
;
so
doth
the
naturall
man
of
himselfe
,
thinking
euery
thing
to
bee
lawfull
,
which
is
lustfull
vnto
him
.
The
smaller
are
a
pray
to
the
greater
fish
:
so
is
the
poore
to
the
Potentate
;
the
meaner
to
the
mightier
.
If
there
were
not
lawes
to
curbe
our
crooked
and
cruell
natures
,
each
mans
sword
would
be
in
his
fellows
bosome
,
and
right
should
yeeld
to
might
;
and
titles
would
bee
tryed
at
the
pikes
points
:
a
malignant
masterie
,
should
manage
matters
among
men
,
as
it
doth
among
fishes
in
their
element
.
How
wilie
and
wilde
we
ar
by
nature
,
and
how
wee
walke
out
of
course
of
our selues
,
in
the
way
of
the
worldly
,
as
fishes
in
the
deeps
wee
may
soone
consider
,
if
wee
woulde
please
to
descend
into
our selues
,
and
by
others
manners
,
to
measure
our
owne
.
The
vnruly
rule
of
the
olde
Israelites
,
is
with
a
solemne
induction
thus
brought
in
,
by
Moses
;
Remember
,
and
forget
not
,
how
thou
prouokest
the
Lord
thy
God
to
anger
in
the
wildernesse
:
since
the
day
that
thou
diddest
depart
out
of
the
land
of
Aegypt
:
also
in
Horeb
,
Taberah
,
Massah
,
and
in
Ribroth-hattaauah
.
They
were
so
orderly
vnorderly
,
as
notwithstanding
they
had
seen
his
miracles
,
which
he
did
in
Aegypt
:
&c
,
Of
the
abuse
of
power
,
strength
,
prioritie
.
&c.
as
a
liuely
remembrance
of
their
wonted
rebellions
.
Finally
,
we
are
rather
Planets
of
vncertaine
motion
,
than
fixed
stars
in
their
proper
stations
:
or
to
keep
my selfe
within
the
hedge
of
my
comparison
;
we
course
as
fishes
without
course
,
in
the
whole
course
of
our
liues
.
Besides
,
as
fishes
wee
take
the
priuiledge
to
the
vttermost
of
our
power
,
prioritie
,
and
authoritie
,
ouer
others
;
straining
it
as
a
skinne
of
parchment
on
the
hooks
,
&
racking
euery
ioynt
therof
vpon
the
racke
of
our
excessiue
affections
.
So
that
did
magistrates
the
vocall
Lawes
of
the
land
,
by
rule
of
reason
,
strangle
many
mens
passions
,
the
lesser
would
be
spoyled
by
the
greater
sort
,
without
any
compassion
.
For
what
keepeth
these
Pronounes
in
vse
,
Meum
,
and
Tuum
,
and
maketh
euery
one
owner
of
his
owne
,
but
the
power
of
good
Lawes
?
Why
are
wee
rather
Christians
,
than
Albinians
,
Nigrians
,
Cassians
:
That
is
,
religious
,
rather
than
rebellious
:
but
onely
for
such
sacred
sanctions
sake
as
are
set
before
vs
?
What
diuideth
and
distinguisheth
persons
according
to
degrees
,
that
they
skull
not
,
and
skudde
not
confusedly
together
,
as
fishes
without
difference
:
but
onely
such
good
lawes
as
are
prouided
in
such
cases
?

indiuided
follower
of
them
both
.
I
finde
them
all
hand-fast
together
,
in
this
peece
of
Psalmodie
:
Giue
thy
iudgements
,
O
Lorde
,
vnto
the
King
;
and
thy
righteousnesse
vnto
the
Kings
sonne
:
then
the
mountaines
shall
bring
forth
peace
,
and
the
little
hilles
righteousnesse
vnto
the
people
.
These
alter
our
nature
and
propertie
very
much
,
and
by
these
some
sort
are
ouer-awed
sufficiently
(
though
the
behauiour
of
some
cannot
bee
bounded
,
but
it
will
flowe
:
as
Iordaine
ouer
the
banckes
)
counting
as
Theodosius
,
Yee
are
not
of
the
world
.
For
the
loue
of
Christ
,
wee
must
forsake
the
worlde
;
It
is
euery
way
commodious
to
the
life
of
the
fishe
,
to
bee
wholly
in
the
water
:
But
it
is
euery
way
hurtfull
to
the
soule
of
man
,
to
be
giuen
vp
wholy
to
the
world
.
For
to
get
worldly
gaine
,
the
body
would
faine
liue
:
but
the
desire
of
heauenly
glory
,
maketh
it
glad
to
die
.
Worldly
cares
maketh
a
man
very
vnrestie
with
himself
:
the
comforts
of
the
Spirit
,
are
a
supersedeas
to
them
all
,
Quietus
est
:
so
that
as
the
holy
Ghost
filled
the
house
:
so
grace
,
peace
,
and
ioy
in
the
holy
Ghost
fulfilleth
his
heart
.
As
he
that
may
walke
in
the
warme
Sun
,
●●uer
desireth
the
light
of
the
Moone
;
so
he
that
walketh
in
the
way
to
heauen
,
wil
neuer
force
of
his
worldly
wayes
more
.
The
fish
liueth
onely
by
the
water
,
but
man
liueth
not
by
the
world
only
,
but
by
euery
worde
of
God

Sane

Hee
is
God
of

:
not
that
those

are
of
that
nature
as
hee
:
but
because
of
him
,
by
him
,
and
in

are
all
things
.
So
that
a

that
is
cast
out
of
a

or

,
neuer
resteth
vntill
it
commeth
to

so
God
,
whose

is
euery

,
and

no

is
our
onely

,
and
without

onely
infinite

our

that
are

Further
,
if
wee
consider
of
men
and
fishes
in
their
naturall
stoliditie
,
wee
shall
finde
agreeable
correspondencie
betweene
them
.
Whereas
other
creatures
,
aswell
birdes
in
the
ayre
,
as
such
as
walke
vpon
the
ground
,
giue
many
outwarde
shewes
and
tokens
of
witte
:
onely
the
fish
is
a
foolish
creature
altogether
indocible
.
So
as
by
the
sir-name
of
a
fish
,
they
vnderstood
a
man
of
absolute
follie
among
the
Aegyptians
.
If
wee
giue
man
his
right
,
Of
the
folly
of
man
,
as
he
is
without
God
.
And
of
true
wisdome
.
Isa●

as
hee
is
without
God
,
hee
is
as
foolish
as
the
fish
.
For
the
horse
and
Mule
without
vnderstanding
,
to
whome
Dauid
compareth
him
;
by
the
iudgement
of
God
in
the
mouth
of
the
Prophet
,
is
of
better
vnderstanding
than
hee
.
The
Oxe

,
and
the
Asse

masters

:
but
Israel
hath
not
known
:
my
people
hath
not
vnderstood
.
I
grant
they
haue
the
wisedome
of
the
worlde
,
which
the
spirite
of
God
calleth
foolishnesse
:
The
wisedome
of
the
world
,
is
foolishnesse
with
God
.
Pharoah

,
Let
vs
worke
wisely
:
when
hee

most
foolishly
.
The
Apostle
maketh
a
great
enquirie
after
the
wise
,
and
would
faine
finde
him
out
;
Where
is
the
wise
?
where
is
the
cribe
?
where
is
the
disputer
of
this
world
?
hath
not
God
made
the
wisedome
of
this
world
foolishnes
?
Christ
calleth
such
,
Wizards
,
Dizzards
,
wise
without
vnderstanding
:
I
giue
thee
thanks
,
O
Father
,
Lord
of
heauen
and
earth
,
because
thou
hast
hid
these
things
from
the
wise
,
and
men
of
vnderstanding
,
and
hast
opened
them
vnto
babes
,
And
the
wisest
of
men
(
the
Sonne
of
man
only
excepted
)
calleth
them
starke
fooles
,
O
yee
foolish
,
how
long
will
yee
loue
foolishnesse
?
Hee
is
no
more
to
be
admired
that
can
make
much
matter
,
by
inuention
of
wit
,
of
a
slender
subiect
:
than
the
shoomaker
is
,
that
can
make
a
great
shoe
for
a
little
foote
.
How
can
they
be
wise
,
whose
whole
cogitations
and
actions
are
foolishnesse
?
For
there
is
no
true
wisdom
,
but
that
which
is
heauenly
,
which
is
the
word
of
God
,
or
Christ
the
sonne
of
God
,
the
onely
subiect
and
argument
of
the
worde
,
who
is
made
vnto
vs
(
by
God
his
Father
)
Wisedome
,
Righteousnesse
,
&
Sanctification
,
and
Redemption
.
In
whom
are
hid
all
the
treasures
of
wisedome
and
knowledge
.
But
this
wisdome
,
is
of
little
woorth
with
those
,
who
in
the
eyes
of
the
world
,
seeme
of
most
worthe
;
who
stoppe
their
eares
with
waxe
,
when
this
wisedome
is
spoken
off
,
and
thinke
themselues
wiser
than
any
of
their
teachers
.
But
they
are
but
wise
after
a
sort
,
their
generation
,
as
Christ
distinguisheth
:
wherein
indeed
they
haue
eyes
as
broade
as
the
Moone
,
and
haue
a
priuiledge
aboue
their
betters
.
But
such
aduantage
hath
the
Owle
of
a
man
,
whose
sight
is
better
in
the
night-time
,
than
a
mans
.
In
deedes
of
darknesse
,
such
Owles
faces
are
better
sighted
than
the
children
of
light
.
So
is
the
Catte
cunninger
than
a
man
,
to
beguile
a
Mowse
:
in
wilie
craftinesse
,
the
rudest
rusticke
easilie
circumuenteth
the
greatest
Scholler
.
But
hee
is
but
an
Asse
in
the
shape
of
a
man
,
who
hath
not
learned
Christ
:
and
whose
bringing
vp
hath
not
beene
in
Gods
Schoole
.
That
is
Moses
iudgement
,
when
hee
sayth
:
Keepe
the
ordinances
and
Lawes
which
I
haue
taught
you
:
for
that
is
your
wisedome
,
and
your
vnderstanding
in
the
sight
of
the
people
,
which
shall
heare
all
these
ordinances
,
&
shall
say
:
Only
this
people
is
wise
,
and
of
vnderstanding
.
When
Saul
started
from
the
wisedome
of
the
worde
,
Thou
hast
done
foolishly
.
Salomon
,
I
assure
you
,
left
his
wisedome
behinde
him
,
when
by
marriage
of
strange
women
,
he
worshipped
strange
gods
,
doing
as
foolishly
as
I
heard
of
any
,
as
the
consequent
thereof
,
euen
to
the
common
calamitie
of
his
Countrie

too

.
Ieremy
wondered
,
how
he
should
be
a
wise
man
,
that
is
not
a
Gods-man
,
saying
:
How
doe
ye
say
we
are
wise
?
yee
haue
reiected
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
and
what
wisedome
is
in
you
?
As
Ezechiel
calleth
them
,
foolish
Prophets
:
and
denounceth
a
woe
as
bitter
as
worme-wood
,
to
such
as
take
not
their
text
from
Gods
mouth
,
but
broach
their
owne
fancies
:
so
folly
is
with
them
,
and
they
haue
no
lesse
woe
,
that
are
wise
in
their
owne
conceits
onely
;
Heathenish
men
,
to

THE
NINTH
CHAPTER
.
Of
the
Antipathie
and
differences
of
fishes
of
both
sortes
,
and
of
the
angling
of
both
kindes
.
ALthough
in
some
properties
(
as
wee
haue
formerly
shewed
)
men
so
sort
with
fishes
,
as
if
they
were
of
the
same
body
with
them
in
those
things
,
and
specially
that
are
of
baddest
nature
:
yet
in
many
parts
,
they
differ
between
themselues
,
as
we
may
now
consider
.
1.
First
,
though
they
be
of
hurtfull
nature
to
those
of
their
own
nature
,
in
their
owne
element
,
where
they
catch
&
kill
all
they
can
,
and
liue
vpon
the
spoile
,
yet
they
couet
not
to
go
beyond
those
boundes
to
prosecute
their
crueltie
.
But
man
wil
haue
his
mind
,
though
he
compasseth
sea
and
land
,
&
taketh
the
widest
perambulation
that
may
be
throghout
the
whole
world
.
Wee
may
say
with
the
Poet
vnto
him
.
Quae
regio
in
terris
vestri
non
plena
laboris
?
What
Country
round
about
,
your
labour
is
without
?
The
sea
with
his
barres
,
cannot
barre
him
of
his
purpose
;
but
as
the
Poet
saith
of
him
,
Impiger
extremos
currit
mercator
ad
Indos
.
The
merchant
,
wealth
to
winne
,
doth
run
through
thick
and
thinne
.
The
fish
is
but
foolish
and
innocent
,
in
respect
of
man
;
for
the
munitions
and
machinations
that
hee
dayly
doth
deuise
are
wonderfull
,
and
those
onely
excogitated
,
and
opposed
against
man-kinde
.
It
would
pose
the
best
mans
skill
in
cogitation
(
I
will
not
say
Oration
)
to
comprehend
the
seuerall
deuillish
deuises
of
man
against
man
;
his
threats
,
reproaches
,
prisons
,
tortures
,
thefts
,
piracies
,
violent
affections
,
of
which
no
man
can
be
secure
in
his
greatest
securitie
.
The
fish
in
the
streame
,
is
onely
in
danger
of
the
greater
sort
:
for
there
is
none
of
them
assaulteth
a
bigger
than
himself
:
but
the
veriest
mennow
among
men
,
the
salt
and
sweepage
of
the
court
,
dare
conceiue
and
contriue
the
death
of
the
Prince
of
the
court
:
the
man
most
despicable
,
dare
arise
vp
against
the
honorable
.
More
vngracious
is
man
by
much
in
his
generation
:
than
fishes
in
their
kindes
.
2.
Heerein
also
is
absolute
disproportion
betweene
the
ordinarie
,
and
spirituall
angling
,
and
the
fishes
of
both
natures
:
that
in
the
one
,
the
frie
and
smaller
sort
,
doe
keepe
off
the
greater
:
in
the
other
,
the
greater
doe
hinder
the
smaller
from
comming
to
the
baite
.
In
ordinary
angling
,
you
shall
often
perceiue
the
bait
so
nibled
away
,
and
the
end
of
the
hooke
made
so
bare
by
the
paltrie
sort
of
fishes
,
as
the
great
ones
seing
it
,
dare
not
aduenture
on
it
:
wherefore
anglers
often
drawe
vp
their
hookes
,
and
put
whole
baytes
vnto
them
.
But
in
our
angling
for
men-fish
,
wee
haue
the
contrary
experience
,
the
great
water
Pikes
&
Pearches
,
I
mean
Prelats
and
Potentates
,
by
their
corrupt
examples
discouraging
them
,
or
by
their
ouer-insolent
authoritie
,
&c.

detaining
them
from
biting
.
If
they
would
giue
better
example
themselues
,
the
people
woulde
soone
be
better
.
But
if
the
head
be
sicke
,
the
whole
body
will
be
heauie
.
If
the
eye
be
blinde
,
the

Sic
natura

,
Corrumpunt

domestica

:
Quum
subeant

Sooner
and
swifter
vnto
sinne
Wee
are
inclin'd
and
brought
By
euill
domestick
president
Corupted
and
mistaught
:
Calling
to
minde
how
like
hath
beene
,
By
greater
persons
wrought
.
But
here
is
the
mischiefe
,
that
this
our
contrarietie
to
the
fish
is
so
dangerous
.
For
if
it
were
but
through
the
meaner
men
,
by
whose
rudenesse
and
barbaritie
the
blessed
baite
of
the
Gospell
were
detained
from
the
worthyer
sorte
,
it
would
be
farre
better
than
it
is
.
For
the
supine
securitie
of
the
ruder
rowt
,
should
red
ounde
vpon
their
owne
heads
alone
:
and
the
greater
persons
should
haue
no
dammage
by
it
.
But
the
case
beeing
as
it
is
,
that
the
greater
ones
scare
their
inferiors
from
the
hooke
that
should
heaue
them
vp
to
heauen
,
and
from
the
bayte
of
their
blisse
,
which
are
the
soules
,
that
by
their
hurtfull
example
,
are
carryed
head-long
into
hell
.
For
like
oyle
,
they
runne
into
euery
ioynt
and
vaine
:
like
a
Gangreene
,
they
spread
ouer
the
whole
body
:
like
leuen
,
they
sowre
the
whole
lumpe
:
they
are
like
a
sincke
in
a
Cittie
;
like
a
boyle
in
a
bodie
:
a
sparke
that
setteth
a
whole
country
afire
.
The
whole
body
is
heauie
:
hauing
tolde
vs
first
,
that
the
head
was
sicke
.
The
rancke
corrupt
humour
runneth
from
the
crown
,
to
the
soule
of
the
foote
,
and
leaueth
no
free
spot
of
a
sound
body
.
Though
a
smaller
stone
chaunce
to
drop
out
of
a
wall
,
the
voyde
roome
is
not
espied
,
or
if
it
bee
,
it
with
ease
againe
filled
:
but
if
a
great
corner
stone
falleth
,
it
bringeth
downe
a
rowe
and
heape
of
smaller
with
it
:
when
a
meane
man
sinneth
,
he
falleth
alone
,
but
the
misdoings
of
the
mightier
men
by
hurtfull
example
that
drawe
on
others
with
them
,
doe
very
mightie
mischiefe
.
Wherfore
the
sinnes
of
the
inferior
sort
,
are
wholy
giuen
to
their
rulers
and
gouerours
.
Wherefore
Moses
,
What
did
this
people
vnto
thee
,
that
thou
hast
brought
so
great
a
sinne
vpon
them
?
And
hee
doth
rightly
in
it
.
For
if
a
clocke
bee
out
of
kelter
and
frame
,
I
trowe
the
clock-keeper
is
more
to
bee
blamed
,
than
the
clocke
which
is
at
his
ordering
?
And
bee
such
sure
,
that
they
shall
bee
one
day
soundly
charged
for
it
.
So
was
Dauid
by
Nathan
,
who
in
the
midst
of
mercie
pronounced
ouer
him
in
the
forgiuenesse
of
his
sinnes
,
snebbed
in
this
sort
for
his
euill
example
:
The
Lord
hath
put
away
thy
sinne
,
thou
shalt
not
dye
.
Howbeit
because
by
this
deed
,
thou
hast
caused
the
enemies
of
the
Lord
to
blaspheme
,
the
childe
that
is
borne
vnto
thee
shall
surely
dye
.
The
Oliue
tree
that
is
planted
among
the
vines
,
because
it
occupyeth
but
a
little
roome
hurteth
not
the
vines
:
but
the
nuttree
,
that
combreth
the
ground
,
&
taketh
vp
such
a
wide
space
,
doth
greatly
hinder
them
.
The
Potentates
,
that
take
vp
all
the
roome
of
the
land
,
&
sway
al
things
as
they
list
,
are
dangerous
to
the
vineyarde
of
the
Lord
of
hoasts
,
by
their
securitie
and
hostilitie
:
the
trebuler
sort
that
are
thrust
to
the
wall
,
that
neuer
growe
high
,
or
ouerdreepe
others
little
,
by
all
the
euill
they
can
doe
,
can
damnifie
others
.
Otherefore
,
that
it
would
please
God
,
to
sweepe
their
house
,
that
we
might
finde
his
lost
groat
:
to
turne
them
that
they
might
be
turned
,
and
thereby
turne
such
as
are
vnder
their
charge
,
vnto
the
worship
of
God
.
For
as
by
their
fearefull
euill
examples
,
they
holde
vp
as
it
were
the
chinne
of
iniquitie
:
so
by
these
good
examples
in
their
conuersion
vnto
God
,
pietie
would
set
vp
a
monarchie
among
vs
.
Dauid
onely
by
the
line
of
his
good
life
,
did
drawe
Saul
vnto
him
,
holding
vp
such
a
lumpe
of
vprightnesse
vnto
him
,
as
did
enlighten
and
inflame
him
.
Their
resurrection
from
the
pitte
of
their
perdition
,
maketh
them
partakers
of
the
second
resurrection
to
eternall
saluation
.
Common
proofe
teacheth
the
one
,
and
spirituall
proofe
the
other
.
You
hath
hee
quicked
,
that
were
dead
in
trespasses
and
sinnes
,
saith
the
Apostle
.
Answerable
hereunto
;
is
this
his
other
assertion
:
And
yee
which
were
dead
in
sinnes
,
and
in
the
vncircumcision
of
the
flesh
,
hath
hee
quickned
together
with
him
.
And
this
estate
and
condition
of
the
faithfull
,
is
plainely
declared
by
Christ
,
when
hee
saith
;
The
houre
shall
come
and
now
it
is
,
when
the
dead
shal
heare
the
voyce
of
the
Sonne
of
God
.
Wee
were
all
of
vs
without
Christ
,
dead
in
our
sinnes
,
and
were
buried
in
the
bedde
of
darknesse
of
all
errors
,
and
superstitions
,
into
which
by
the
subtile
illusions
of
Sathan
wee
haue
beene
ledde
,
and
held
in
the
captiuitie
and
bondes
of
them
.
But
Christ
,
who
hath
destroyed
the
kingdome
of
darkenesse
,
hath
brought
vs
backe
to
life
,
and
the
light
of
faith
.
As
he
stayed
the
widdowes
son
when
the
Porters
had
him
on
their
shoulders
vpon

Adams
state
was
happie
in
his
earthly
Paradise
,
but
the
case
was
quite
altered
with
his
sinne
.
And
wee
may
take
vp
Iobs
wordes
concerning
him
;
His
harpe
was
turned
into
mourning
,
and
his
organs
into
the
voyce
of
them
that
weepe
.
But
wee
are
safe

againe
