and
the
dead
were
iudged
of
those
thinges
,
which
were
written
in
the
Bookes
according
to
their
workes
.
HEere
is
cluster
,

of
Christian
Catechisme

these
foure
Articles
of
the
catholique
faith
.
1.
The
resurrection
of
the
flesh

touched
in
the

the

before
God

2.
The
iudgement
of
the
quicke
and
the
dead
,
noted
in

the
Bookes
,
out
of
which

not
obscurely
insinuated
by
the
other
booke
,
entitled
:
The
Booke
of
life
,
heere
spoken
of
.
This
sentence
is
an
absolute
description
of
the
iudgement
,
wherin
we
haue
these
circumstances
.
1.
The
persons
standing
in
the
iudgement
to
bee
tryed
.
All.

The

1.
Absolution

2.
Condemnation
according
to
the
propertie
and
condition

their
workes

The
precedencie
is
an
introduction
to
this
,
which
telleth
vs
the
person
of
the
iudge
in
the
immediate
verse
before
,
which
is
Christ
the
Sonne
of
God
,
the
Sonne
of
man
,
to
whome
all
the
iudgement
is
committed
by
the
father
,
being
the
predestinate
man
,
by
whome
he
will
iudge
the
world
in
righteousnes
,
That
which
is
first
in
nature
,
is
heere
handled
first
in
order
:
the
learning
of
the
resurrection
,
the
fore
runner
of
the
iudgement
&
the
consequents
thereof
:
taught
in
the
verie
entrie
in
these
wordes
.
I
sawe
the
dead
both
great
and
small
stand
before
God
.
The
resurrection
is
the
hand
that
holdeth
vp
religion
by
the
head
:
the
life
and
soule
of
it
,
the
first
stone
that
we
are
to
lay
in
our
spiritual
building
,
or
rather
the
foundation
that
beareth
vp
the
building
,
the
anker
of
our
hope
,
the
certaintie
of
our
saluation
,
called
by
Tertullian
,
Ianua
regni
caelestis
.
The
doore
whereat
wee
enter
into
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
,
the
Godly
therby
going
to
the
ioyes
,
the
wicked
to
the
torments
prepared
for
them
:
the
reference
of
our
faith
by
the
same
Godly
Father
,
Fiducia
Christianorum
est
resurrectio
mortuorum
:
Our
Christian
expectation
is
the
corporall
resurrection
,
which
is
grounded
on
the
Doctrine
of
Saint
Paul
,
who
bringeth
in
bundles
of
reasons
for
it
by
order
of
iust
consequence
thus
:
If
there
were
no
resurrection
.
1.
Then
were
our
preaching
vaine
.
Your
faith
of
none
effect
.
3.
Wee
should
be
found
false
witnesses
.
4.
The
dead
were
quite
vndone
.
5.
We
were
yet
in
our
sinnes
.
6.
Of
all
men
,
Christians
were
most
miserable
.
As
if
he
shold
haue
said
,
take
away
the
resurrection
,
and
take
away
altogeather
,
our
preaching
,
your
beleeuing
,
burne
the
Bible
,
throw
downe
pulpits
,
lay
our
churches
euen
with
their
foundations
,
play
the
Epicures
&
belli-gods
,
and
liue
as
ye
list
.
For
the
Bookes
are
found
lyars
,
the
Prophets
&
Apostles
haue
fed
vs
with
fables
,
&
they
are
as
Fountains
dryed
vp
.
But
our
foundations
are
in
the
holy
hilles
,
and
not
in
the
valleies
of
humane
reasons
,
we
know
what
wee
beleeue
,
and
wee
lay
stedfast
holde
of
the
resurrection
&
of
faith
towards
Christ
.
Who
shall
change
our
vile
body
that
it
may
be
fashioned
like
his
glorious
body
,
according
to
the
working
,
whereby
he
is
able
euen
to
subdue
all
thinges
vnto
himselfe
.
But
yet
there
is
more
oppugnation
,
and
insurrection
,
against
this
sweete
Article
of
the
resurrection
,
then
against
any
parcell
of
Diuinitie
beside
:
the
deuill
and
his
blacke
guard
,
bending
and
banding
themselues
against
this
,
withall
the
might
and
mallice
that
they
can
.
1.
By
Gentils
.
2.
By
Iewes
,
without
and
within
the
Liberties
of
the
Church
.
Without
,
by
the
Peripatecians
,
and
almost
al
the
broode
of
Brainsicke
Philosophers
and
schoole
of
Epicures
,
among
whome
,
heere
what
Seneca
,
Simon
Magus
,
from
whome
came
the
sect
of
the
Simonians
.
Such
were
the
Valentinians
,
Carpocratians
,
Cardonians
,
Archotici
,
Seuerians
,
Basilidians
,
Hierarchites
,
with
rablements
of
such
Locusts
&
Caterpillars
,
of
whome
Augustine
hath
entreated
.
Such
were
the
Manichees
that
were
mainely
bent
against
this
Article
,
against
whom
saint
Augustin
worthyly
disputeth
:
such
a
one
was
Martion
,
who
was
no
faithfull
friend
to
the
resurrection
,
as
Tertullian
in
his
fift
Booke
witnesseth
.
But
that
euerie
mouth
may
be
stopped
,
God
gloryfied
,
our
faith
strengthned
,
we
shall
.
1.
by
authorities
of
Scriptures
.
2.
Sacred
examples
.
3.
Reasons
irrefragable
.
4.
The
whole
course
of
nature
make
good
this
proposition
,
and
winde
it
vp
with
the
vse
,
and
applycation
that
it
giueth
,
and
passe
on
to
the
rest
.
1.
In
both
the
instruments
the
olde
and
the
new
,
wee
are
compassed
with
cloudes
of
witnesses
in
the
cause
.
Thy
dead
men
shal
liue
:
euen
with
my
body
shall
they
rise
.
Awake
and
sing
ye
that
dwell
in
dust
:
for
thy
dew
is
as
the
dew
of
hearbes
,
and
the
earth
shal
cast
out
the
dead
.
Liuely
illustration
heerof
is
in
the
dead
bones
,
Many
of
them
that
sleepe
in
the
dust
of
the
earth
shall
awake
,
some
to
euerlasting
life
,
and
some
to
shame
and
perpetuall
contempt
.
As
for
me
,
I
will
behold
thy
presence
in
righteousnes
:
and
when
I
wake
vp
after
thy
likenesse
,
I
shal
be
satisfied
with
it
.
I
am
sure
that
my
redeemer
liueth
,
and
hee
shall
stand
the
last
on
the
earth
.
And
though
after
my
skinne
wormes
destroy
this
bodye
,
yet
shall
I
see
God
in
my
flesh
,
whome
I
my selfe
shal
see
,
and
mine
eyes
shall
beholde
,
and
noue
other
for
mee
,
though
my
reines
are
consumed
within
mee
.
There
be
more
places
in
the
olde
Testament
besides
these
:
but
these
are
bones
enough
to
choake
them
that
are
so
impudent
as
to
say
,
that
the
olde
Charter
performeth
no
testimonie
to
this
present
article
:
or
if
there
bee
any
one
to
be
found
,
that
it
was
vnknowne
to
the
Fathers
of
those
times
.
I
am
driuen
to
deale
with
the
proofes
of
the
new
Testament
,
as
Salomon
did
with
the
brasse
in
the
Temple
:
it
was
so
much
he
would
not
weigh
it
:
they
are
so
many
,
we
cannot
stand
vpon
them
.
2.
Examples
of
such
as
haue
been
raised
from
the
dead
,
doe
nourish
and
fortifie
our
faith
in
the
resurrection
,
Naijm
,
Lazarus
that
had
lyen
in
his
graue
foure
dayes
,
brought
from
death
to
life
againe
by
Christ
,
Tabytha
by
Peter
:
Eutichus
by
Paul
.
3.
There
are
fundamentall
reasons
on
the
side
of
the
resurrection
that
ought
to
sway
with
vs
.
1.
We
draw
the
first
from
the
Iustice
of
God
,
which
would
that
the
bodie
which
hath
partaked
with
the
minde
,
in
the
good
or
badde
inclinations
thereof
,
should
bee
rewarded
accordinglye
:
which
not
being
so
perfourmed
in
this
life
,
it
could
neuer
be
serued
in
number
,
measure
,
proportion
,
without
the
resurrection
.
2.
We
also
dispute
from
his
infinite
goodnes
,
which
plenteously
rewardeth
the
well
dooer
:
and
his
anger
implacable
,
(
worser
,
as
Chrisostome
faith
,
then
a
thousand
helles
)
which
must
make
an
end
,
or
rather
no
end
with
the
workers
of
wickednes
:
both
which
were
quite
voided
,
were
there
a
nullity
of
the
resurrection
.
3.
We
further
argue
from
the
immutabilitie
of
his
veritie
,
his
promises
being
signed
by
the
finger
of
his
spirit
,
and
sealed
with
the
blood
of
the
Lambe
,
of
honor
,
glorie
,
peace
,
a
crowne
of
immortalitie
,
the
fruition
of
the
tree
of
life
,
the
sight
of
the
glorious
face
of
God
,
the
societie
with
his
Angels
and
Saints
,
the
congregation
of
first
borne
,
new
names
,
white
garments
,
pleasures
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
abundance
of
ioyes
for
euermore
:
all
which
must
take
place
by
the
resurrection
.
4.
Finally
,
our
dignitie
and
excellencie
aboue
all
other
creatures
,
(
wherein
we
goe
as
much
beyond
them
,
as
the
Moone
doth
the
smaller
Stars
in
glory
)
challengeth
the
same
:
which
without
the
condition
of
the
life
to
come
,
should
be
many
wayes
inferiour
vnto
them
.
For
as
the
earth
with
the
other
elements
are
of
longer
standing
then
man
:
so
there
be
among
Birdes
,
Beastes
,
Fishes
,
that
are
of
greater
strength
and
longer
life
then
he
.
And
whereas
almost
all
creatures
immediately
after
they
bee
producted
can
shift
for
themselues
,
and
haue
eyther
no
,
or
little
neede
others
:
man-kinde
onely
must
haue
need
of
great
attendance
,
&
assistance
,
his
time
is
shorter
then
of
many
of
them
,
&
his
miseries
more
then
any
of
them
.
Therfore
there
must
be
an
other
life
to
recompence
it
.
4.
But
because
it
pleaseth
the
Philosophers
to
arraigne
the
Scriptures
of
follie
,
and
measure
Diuinitie
by
the
line
of
humane
wisedome
,
and
cannot
maintain
this
maxime
of
their
schoole
a
priuatione
ad
habitum
impossibilis
regressus
,
from
the
priuation
to
the
habit
,
the
returne
is
impossible
,
vnles
they
flatly
disclaime
the
resurrection
:
and
the
Atheist
rubbeth
his
filthines
against
Gods
holynes
,
and
scorneth
whatsoeuer
is
spoken
out
of
scriptures
,
(
whereby
our
forecited
testimonies
,
examples
,
reasons
,
grounded
vpon
them
,
concerne
not
their
profession
)
we
wil
deale
with
them
,
by
their
owne
learning
,
the
order
of
nature
,
which
is
euerie
ones
Schoolemaister
,
and
that
shall
stint
the
strife
that
is
between
vs
,
&
make
the
question
questionles
.
There
be
many
good
resemblances
in
the
workes
of
nature
,
of
the
resurection
in
creatures
of
al
kindes
.
1.
Vegetatiue
.
2.
Sensitiue
.
3.
Rationall
,
which
albeit
they
bee
not
proofes
so
pregnant
:
yet
giue
they
good
enforcement
to
the
present
argument
.
1.
Out
of
things
vegetatiue
,
that
haue
but
a
growing
life
:
groweth
verie
good
probabilitie
of
this
sacred
misterie
.
2.
To
come
to
thinges
sensitiue
:
there
be
among
them
sensible
and
significant
signes
of
the
resurrection
,
Historians
of
verie
good
worth
make
report
,
that
there
bee
certaine
Beares
and
Mice
,
who
sleepe
whole
winters
without
repast
,
and
that
in
such
sort
,
as
by
no
agitation
,
and
compunction
that
is
vsed
,
they
can
be
perceiued
to
stirre
,
vntill
the
spring
of
the
yeare
,
when
they
awake
againe
,
and
shew
themselues
abroad
out
of
their
Caues
and
Dennes
.
The
Indian
Bird
the
Phoenix
(
as
witnesseth
Lactantius
)
is
burnt
to
ashes
by
the
power
of
the
Sunne
,
and
out
of
the
same
ashes
another
is
quickned
,
wherby
that
kind
is
preserued
.
The
Lyon
missing
of
her
pray
,
is
longer
from
her
whelpes
,
who
returning
finding
them
dead
,
roareth
so
outragiously
as
she
recouereth
them
.
3.
But
in
the
reasonable
and
royall
creature
,
which
is
man
,
this
matter
is
manifested
,
he
is
conceiued
an
infant
in
his
mothers
wombe
,
where
of
liquid
seede
thinges
of
sundry
natures
are
producted
,
as
flesh
,
bones
,
sinewes
,
veines
,
haire
:
in
the
wombe
he
is
qualified
with
vitall
Spirits
,
where
he
liueth
,
mooueth
,
feedeth
,
at
the
last
out
of
the
wombe
,
as
out
of
a
winding
sheete
,
hee
commeth
into
the
world
.
Who
is
so
stockish
as
cannot
heere
perceiue
,
special
good
token
,
&
tipe
of
the
resurrection
?
To
presse
this
point
further
,
that
man
may
bee
instance
of
mans
resurrection
,
dooth
not
euerie
man
euerie
day
as
it
were
dye
by
his
sleepe
,
which
is
the
ligature
of
his
sences
and
reason
,
there
being
such
cognation
betweene
death
and
sleepe
,
as
sleepe
is
termed
by
Philosophers
,
Imago
mortis
,
the
Image
of
death
,
and
by
Homer
,
Frater
mortis
,
the
Brother
of
death
.
For
what
office
doth
hee
performe
of
a
liuing
man
,
while
hee
lyeth
like
a
tymber
logge
in
his
dead
sleepe
.
But
his
sleepe
being
dispelled
,
hee
is
a
new
man
,
and
returneth
a
fresh
to
his
wonted
labours
,
Doe
wee
not
also
see
how
many
are
cast
into
sownes
and
traunces
,
which
for
a
time
seeme
to
depriue
them
of
breath
and
life
:
and
yet
doe
recouer
themselues
againe
.
These
bee
to
mee
very
good
memorialls
of
my
good
resurrection
,
and
they
preach
the
like
to
you
.
Finally
,
the
verie
distinction
of
the
times
,
readeth
this
Diuinity
lecture
vnto
vs
,
while
the
day
is
buried
in
the
darkenes
of
the
night
,
as
it
were
in
a
Sepulcher
,
&
so
rowleth
a
stone
ouer
it
,
as
it
cannot
,
vntill
the
dawning
,
breake
out
againe
.
The
like
we
say
of
the
night
which
dyeth
by
the
day
.
The
seasons
die
and
depart
from
vs
,
and
liue
and
returne
againe
:
all
thinges
by
deformitie
are
reformed
.
These
be
Tertullians
arguments
in
Apologetico
to
prooue
the
resurrection
against
the
Gentils
.
But
to
the
aduersaries
of
this
Doctrine
,
it
seemeth
against
reason
,
and
to
bee
impossible
,
that
of
nothing
any
thing
should
be
made
,
&
so
that
a
body
,
by
death
as
they
say
,
resolued
into
nothing
,
should
become
a
bodie
againe
,
we
answere
them
heerein
,
that
it
is
suprarationem
,
non
contra
rationem
:
aboue
reason
,
but
not
against
reason
it
should
be
so
.
And
Potentia
facientis
est
ratio
facti
.
Considera
authorem
,
tolle
dubitationem
,
it
is
Augustines
saying
:
The
power
of
the
doer
is
the
reason
of
the
deede
.
Consider
the

doe
away
all
doubt
,
the
reason
of
the
resurrection
of
the
creature
,
is
the
power
of
the
creator
,
there
being
nothing
of
impossible
condition
with
God
,
that
implieth
not
a
contradiction
,
as
the
schoole-men
doe
distinguish
.
And
it
is
false
they
say
:
that
the
bodie
by
death
is
dissolued
to
nothing
,
for
it
is
but
turned
into
his
element
,
the
earth
,
the
Rocke
from
which
it
was
first
hewed
,
the
pitte
from
whence
it
was
first
digged
and
to
take
vp
the
forme
of
the
speech
of
the
Philosopher
,
in
materiam
priman
,
into
his
first
matter
,
of
which
it
was
first
made
,
into
which
it
shal
be
marred
,
&
out
of
which
it
shal
be
made
againe
.
Why
should
it
seeme
to
you
harder
for
God
,
to
restore
that
which
once
was
,
then
to
create
at
the
first
of
nothing
that
which
neuer
was
?
Are
Artificers
and
workemen
in
Metalles
able
to
dissolue
such
vessels
as
they
list
,
&
to
make
them
new
againe
?
Can
Glasiers
doe
the
like
in
that
brittle
ware
?
to
let
passe
Potters
,
and
Plodders
in
clay
,
who
can
marre
and
make
any
vtensill
of
that
fragile
nature
,
as
many
times
as
they
please
.
And
shall
not
the
great
maister
work-man
of
the
whole
world
be
able
to
doe
the
like
?
Spend
&
disperse
my
bodie
,
so
farre
as
force
of
imagination
wil
suffer
you
,
suppose
a
Beast
eateth
it
,
an
other
beast
prayeth
vppon
him
,
and
that
beast
againe
is
deuoured
by
birds
,
those
Birds
are
incorporated
by
men
,
and
so
my
substance
is
after
many
concoctions
and
degrees
,
transfused
into
many
mens
substance
:
the
Lord
shal
sunder
and
deuide
them
againe
,
aswel
as
the
Craftes-men
can
part
sundrie
metals
that
are
moulten
together
.
But
we
are
not
to
conceiue
,
that
euerie
thing
that
giueth
increase
to
the
bodies
substance
,
is
to
rise
againe
in
the
resurrection
:
but
that
euerie
one
shall
haue
such
sufficiencie
of
dimensions
,
as
shal
serue
for
a
perfect
and
absolute
bodie
.
But
be
it
that
the
bodie
is
to
take
vp
that
stature
in
the
resurrection
,
which
is
laide
downe
by
dissolution
(
as
some
stiflie
defend
it
,
whome
wee
will
not
offend
in
it
,
with
the
restrictions
and
cautions
that
Augustine
speaketh
of
,
that
we
free
it
of
deformitie
,
infirmitie
,
tarditie
,
impuritie
)
and
be
it
neuer
so
piece-meale
diuided
according
to
the
former
supposition
,
the
like
whereof
Augustine
maketh
in
the
same
place
,
euerie
part
must
againe
bee
restored
to
the
right
owner
,
as
being
but
borrowed
for
the
time
,
as
the
same
father
saith
.
But
wee
conclude
this
,
with
these
graue
and
reuerend
words
of
this
man
:
Absit
vt
sinus
vllus
,
secretumque
naturae
,
It
remaineth
that
wee
reape
the
Haruest
of
this
Doctrine
,
and
the
Vintage
this
Diuinitie
giueth
vs
:
much
being
to
be
gathered
and
gleaned
from
hence
.
1.
The
resurrection
is
a
comfort
to
the
Godlye
,
and
a
corsiue
to
the
wicked
.
So
our
Sauiour
Christ
saith
of
it
:
They
shall
come
foorth
that
haue
done
good
to
the
resurrection
of
life
:
but
they
that
haue
done
euill
to
the
resurrection
of
condemnation
.
Heare
the
Godlye
sowe
in
teares
,
they
shall
then
reape
in
ioy
:
heere
they
labour
and
are
heauie
loden
,
there
they
shall
rest
from
their
labours
,
and
take
out
their
generall
quietus
est
.
And
that
is
the
rekoning
Dauid
maketh
of
it
saying
:
Mine
heart
is
glad
,
my
tongue
reioyceth
,
and
my
flesh
also
doth
rest
in
hope
,
the
effect
of
the
resurrection
as
the
addition
sheweth
:
For
thou
shalt
not
leaue
my
soule
in
graue
,
neither
wilt
thou
suffer
thine
holy
one
to
see
corruption
.
Wherefore
the
resurrection
is
stiled
by
Peter
,
the
time
of
refreshing
:
for
the
hungrie
shall
bee
satisfyed
,
which
is
their
refreshing
:
the
mourners
comforted
,
which
is
their
refreshing
:
all
teares
wiped
away
from
our
eyes
,
which
is
our
refreshing
:
death
shall
bee
no
more
,
nor
sorrowe
,
nor
crying
,
nor
any
more
paine
,
which
is
our
gratious
generall
refreshing
.
The
resurrection
as
Augustine
saith
:
talis
in
die
illo
iudicabitur
:
as
a
man
dyeth
in
this
day
,
so
shall
he
bee
iudged
in
that
day
.
2.
The
certaine
expectation
of
the
resurrection
,
and
the
due
and
duetiful
meditation
of
it
,
serueth
to
rouse
vs
vp
from
our
beddes
of
security
,
to
take
vs
by
the
elbowes
and
set
vs
on
our
feete
,
and
much
fruite
groweth
vpon
the
stalke
.
It
powreth
water
vpon
the
Furnace
of
our
furious
affections
and
cooleth
them
,
it
is
the
watch
and
the
dyall
by
which
we
are
directed
to
spend
our
time
,
and
it
is
the
fanne
that
fifteth
and
winnoweth
the
pelfe
from
the
corne
,
the
staffe
of
our
iourney
towards
heauen
more
fortunate
then
Iacobs
was
,
with
which
he
passed
ouer
Iordan
,
the
starre
that
leadeth
the
Godly
wise
to
the
heauenly
Bethlehem
,
where
Christ
is
,
as
the
Commet
led
the
wisemen
of
the
east
to
Bethlehem
where
Christ
was
.
He
that
hath
a
yerely
great
inheritance
may
spend
somewhat
liberally
,
but
he
that
oweth
more
then
he
is
worth
must
not
spend
an
idle
penny
,
as
being
to
stand
to
the
curtesie
of
his
creditor
that
will
call
him
to
a
reckoning
.
It
so
fareth
with
vs
,
we
are
already
much
cast
behinde
hand
,
as
hauing
spent
too
much
time
already
vpon
our
pleasures
and
our
sinnes
:
it
remaineth
now
that
we
apply
our selues
to
the
Appostles
counsell
,
to
redeeme
the
time
,
because
the
daies
are
euill
,
and
to
ioyne
in
petition
to
God
with
Dauid
;
O
let
me
liue
and
recouer
my selfe
,
before
I
goe
hence
,
and
be
no
more
seene
.
The
serious
thought
of
this
draue
Ierom
to
his
dumpes
,
and
pricked
him
in
the
quickest
vaine
,
whatsoeuer
he
went
about
,
hearing
the
voice
of
the
iudgement
sounding
in
his
eares
,
of
which
he
saith
thus
:
siue
vigilo
siue
dormio
,
siue
aliquidaliud
ago
,
videor
mihi
audire
vocem
hanc
in
aure
mea
,
surgite
mortui
,
venite
ad
iudicium
:
whether
I
awake
or
sleepe
,
or
whatsoeuer
else
I
doe
,
I
seeme
to
heare
this
voice
,
ringing
in
mine
eares
.
Awake
ye
dead
and
come
to
iudgement
.
The
sound
of
this
trumpet
awaketh
vs
all
,
and
it
is
a
Spur
to
the
Godly
to
prick
them
vnto
vertue
,
and
a
bridle
to
the
wicked
to
holde
them
in
from
vice
.
While
the
Apostle
fed
vpon
this
,
as
vpon
a
restoratiue
.
That
the
resurrection
of
the
dead
should
be
of
the
iust
and
vniust
,
how
it
wrought
,
he
telleth
vs
.
In
this
respect
I
endeauour
my selfe
to
haue
alwaies
a
cleare
conscience
towards
God
and
man
.
3.
The
faith
in
the
resurrection
serueth
to
scatter
our
inordinate
passions
,
which
naturally
strangle
vs
for
our
deceased
friends
and
to
keepe
them
within
the
limits
and
boundes
of
orderly
moderation
.
While
we
consider
how
death
that
slayeth
vs
all
,
is
slaine
in
the
electe
by
the
generall
resurrection
,
that
non
obijt
,
sed
abijt
:
non
amisimus
sed
premisin
us
.
He
is
not
lost
,
Into
thy
hands
I
commend
my
spirit
,
for
thou
hast
redeemed
me
,
O
Lord
thou
God
of
truth
,
which
the
second
Dauid
of
the
seede
of
Dauid
sampleth
,
committing
his
soule
to
no
other
keeper
,
then
to
the
Creator
as
being
there
moste
sure
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
:
I
know
whome
I
haue
beleeued
,
and
I
am
perswaded
,
that
hee
is
able
to
keepe
that
which
I
haue
committed
to
him
against
that
day
.
4.
While
wee
assertaine
our selues
of
the
resurrection
,
and
rest
our selues
in
that
as
Doues
in
the
cleftes
of
the
rockes
,
we
are
armed
and
prepared
against
the
terror
of
death
,
for
wee
consider
howe
God
hath
turned
it
into
our
benefit
,
and
made
it
our
entrance
into
a
better
life
,
our
passage
from
a
prison
to
a
pallace
,
from
a
tabernacle
to
an
abiding
Cittie
:
from
a
region
of
death
,
to
the
land
of
the
liuing
:
from
the
life
of
men
,
to
the
life
of
Angelles
:
from
a
bodie
of
humillitie
,
to
a
bodie
of
glorye
:
from
the
vale
of
teares
,
to
that
mount
of
Sion
,
where
the
Lambe
is
gathering
the
Saints
about
him
,
to
the
copartnershippe
of
those
ioyes
,
which
hee
himselfe
enioyeth
according
to
that
which
the
Apostle
saith
:
Wee
knowe
that
when
our
earthlie
house
of
this
tabernacle
shall
bee
dissolued
:
wee
haue
a
building
giuen
of
God
,
which
is
an
house
not
made
with
handes
,
but
eternall
in
the
heauens
.
What
man
hath
beene
thrown
into
a
deepe
dungion
without
light
of
Sun
or
Mooneful
of
Serpents
,
and
all
vile
creatures
,
would
not
bee
glad
to
bee
set
at
libertie
?
our
death
&
resurrection
is
this
great
mutation
,
the
bodie
being
the
prison
of
the
soule
,
and
the
graue
the
prison
of
the
bodie
:
the
bodie
being
as
ful
of
sinnes
as
any
prison
is
of
Serpents
in
this
life
,
and
heauen
being
the
pallace
of
our
endlesse
pleasures
.
What
man
maketh
not
hast
for
his
life
out
of
an
olde
house
readie
to
fall
?
our
bodies
are
no
better
then
old
clay
:
cottages
ready
to
drop
downe
:
our
spirit
is
but
vapour
and
fume
,
our
garments
are
corruption
,
the
worme
and
cancker
,
our
portion
,
the
earth
,
the
wombe
that
did
conceiue
vs
,
and
the
earth
,
the
wombe
that
must
receiue
vs
.
If
a
skilfull
Pilote
shall
foresee
and
foretell
a
storme
,
shall
not
the
Mariners
hast
all
that
they
may
towards
the
Hauen
?
Christ
our
great
Ship-maister
hath
forespoken
many
stormes
in
the
sea
of
this
world
:
hie
we
therefore
to
heauen
,
which
is
our
hauen
,
to
the
key-side
of
the
kingdome
of
God
,
&
to
the
land
of
the
liuing
,
the
landing
place
of
vs
all
.
In
the
ioynd
Battell
with
the
worldly
enemie
,
when
our
souldiers
are
strooken
with
gun
shot
on
al
sides
,
and
our
fellowes
fall
before
vs
,
and
behinde
vs
,
on
the
right
hand
,
and
the
left
,
what
a
happie
turne
is
it
for
the
enemie
to
turne
his
backe
to
vs
,
and
betake
him
to
his
heeles
,
and
how
would
this
quicken
and
hearten
our
Spirits
?
but
by
the
resurrection
,
all
the
ranckes
and
Classeis
of
our
enemies
,
the
deuill
,
death
,
condemnation
,
turne
vs
their
backe
partes
and
flie
away
from
vs
.
The
day
labourer
is
glad
when
the
day
is
at
an
end
,
for
them
his
rest
and
his
reward
beginneth
:
the
end
of
this
life
is
the
end
of
our
labour
,
and
then
our
rest
and
reward
without
end
beginneth
.
Euerie
man
is
glad
at
the
departure
of
Winter
,
and
at
the
approach
of
Sommer
:
this
life
of
ours
is
but
a
troublesome
Winter
,
the
life
that
is
to
come
is
the
ioyfull
Sommer
season
.
Hee
is
a
brainelesse
begger
indeede
,
that
would
not
put
off
his
rotten
ragges
,
to
bee
clad
with
royall
robes
:
our
hides
that
couer
vs
are
paltrie
leather
coates
,
and
as
filthy
as
any
Beggers
weedes
:
but
in
the
other
life
wee
shall
bee
cloathed
with
the
white
garment
of
Christes
innocency
,
who
shall
change
the
vile
rayment
of
our
bodies
,
and
shall
decke
them
with
all
glorie
and
Maiestye
sutable
to
his
bodye
.
The
traueller
that
hath
beene
long
in
farre
parts
,
is
a
glad
man
when
his
busines
are
at
an
end
,
that
he
may
returne
to
his
wife
,
children
,
and
friendes
:
our
life
is
but
a
weariesome
pilgrimage
,
of
fewe
and
euil
daies
:
by
death
and
the
resurrection
wee
haue
a
merrie
meeting
withall
our
kindred
,
and
deare
friendes
departed
in
the
Lordes
feare
.
Hee
that
is
out-lawed
and
banished
for
debt
,
is
made
a
merrie
man
by
his
calling
home
againe
,
and
the
cancelling
that
debt
:
wee
liue
heere
debtors
and
banished
men
,
the
Lord
calleth
vs
home
by
the
way
of
our
death
,
and
throweth
all
our
tickets
of
accounts
into
the
sea
.
Why
therfore
should
not
our
hearts
skip
like
Rammes
within
our
bellyes
for
ioy
?
If
Dauid
,
Paul
,
Peter
,
Iohn
,
or
any
of
these
great
men
and
deare
Saints
of
God
,
the
fingers
of
Gods
hand
,
and
sacred
actuaries
and
pen-men
of
his
Counsells
,
might
be
sent
downe
from
heauen
vnto
vs
,
we
wold
bee
glad
to
take
the
widest
perambulation
that
is
,
to
looke
anie
of
them
on
the
face
:
but
in
the
resurrection
,
we
shall
see
all
the
glorious
companie
of
the
prophets
,
the
fellowship
of
the
Apostles
,
the
noble
armie
of
Martirs
,
and
his
holy
Angels
,
yea
Christ
himselfe
face
to
face
,
wherefore
we
haue
cause
to
wish
&
welcome
this
our
resurrection
.
5.
I
note
also
this
aduantage
in
the
resurrection
that
the
faithfull
haue
:
it
is
their
Bul-warke
and
wall
of
brasse
against
all
temptations
,
the
Cittie
of
refuge
amidst
their
persecutions
in
this
world
,
the
soule
of
the
inward
man
,
and
blessed
Bee
God
which
hath
shewed
vs
this
kindnesse
in
a
strong
Cittie
.
This
was
armour
of
proofe
to
Iob
against
all
the
fierie
Dartes
of
the
diuell
throwne
against
his
patience
,
And
this
was
as
it
were
the
latter
gracious
raine
in
the
heate
and
drought
of
summer
,
which
refreshed
the
inheritance
of
God
,
euen
the
soules
of
his
Saints
,
and
as
the
sweete
wood
throwne
into
the
waters
of
Marah
that
tooke
away
the
bitternesse
of
it
,
when
in
the
daies
of
Antiochus
they
were
vnder
the
Crosse
,
and
endured
strange
torments
:
for
they
looked
as
the
Spirit
of
God
saith
:
for
a
better
resurrection
.
Though
I
walke
through
the
middest
of
the
shaddow
of
death
,
I
will
feare
none
euill
:
for
thou
art
with
me
,
thy
rod
&
thy
staffe
comfort
me
.
Therfore
we
faint
not
,
because
we
know
though
the
outward
man
perish
,
the
inward
man
shal
be
renued
dayly
,
while
we
look
not
on
the
things
that
are
seene
,
but
on
the
thinges
that
are
not
seene
.
For
that
which
the
left
hand
of
nature
pulleth
down
,
the
right
hand
of
the
creator
shall
builde
vp
againe
.
The
destruction
of
our
earthly
mansion
is
the
construction
of
our
heauenly
habitation
,
it
is
the
same
Apostles
profession
:
We
know
that
when
the
earthly
house
of
this
tahernacle
be
destroved
:
we
shall
haue
a
house
not
made
with
hands
,
but
eternal
in
the
heauens
.
For
this
cause
curse
ye
Atheists
as
the
Angel
did
Meroz
because
they
goe
not
out
with
vs
to
fight
in
the
Lords
cause
in
the
resurrection
.
But
the
blessing
of
the
Lord
be
on
the
mountains
of
Armenia
which
gaue
rest
vnto
the
Arke
:
and
blessed
bee
all
those
Christian
bodies
and
soules
that
rest
vpon
this
,
and
let
this
rest
with
them
,
the
Arke
and
the
Cofer
of
his
moste
gracious
promises
.
And
oh
that
Dauids
fooles
that
say
there
is
no
God
,
and
so
no
resurrection
,
who
I
feare
are
too
rife
in
this
Royall
Cittie
,
had
the
markes
of
knowledge
set
vppon
them
,
as
the
Leprous
person
had
,
whose
garments
were
split
,
whose
head
and
lippes
were
couered
,
who
was
inioyned
to
proclaime
,
as
he
passed
by
,
I
am
vncleane
,
I
am
vncleane
:
that
all
that
see
them
might
point
at
them
,
and
say
,
There
,
there
:
Behold
an
Atheist
,
behold
an
Atheist
,
who
are
dead
while
they
liue
(
by
the
sentence
of
Socrates
)
because
all
the
cares
of
their
life
are
but
to
liue
:
Non
viuit
cui
nihil
est
in
mente
nisi
vt
viuat
.
He
liueth
not
,
that
mindeth
nothing
but
to
liue
,
or
as
the
Romaine
Emperor
said
:
cui
nihill
in
vita
dulcius
est
vita
:
to
whome
nothing
in
this
life
is
sweeter
than
life
:
whose
estate
therein
is
no
better
then
a
stone
,
viuit
et
lapis
saith
St.
Augustin
:
a
stone
it selfe
liueth
.
But
they
are
dead
&
dead
againe
,
as
St.
Iude
saith
:
&
to
be
plucked
vp
by
the
rootes
,
Al
great
and
small
,
without
any
difference
of
sex
,
or
sorte
.
So
saith
Esay
in
the
person
of
God
:
Euerie
knee
shall
bowe
vnto
〈◊〉
,
&c
St.
Paule
confirmeth
it
,
saying
:
We
shal
all
appeare
before
the
iudgement
seate
of
Christ
,
fiue
or
one
of
vs
〈◊〉
giue
accounts
of
himself
to
God
.
All
that
are
in
the
graues
shal
heare
the
voice
of
Christ
,
and
come
foorth
to
iudgement
.
All
nations
shal
bee
gathered
before
him
.
Hee
shall
giue
to
euerie
one
according
to
his
works
.
Wherefore
the
Lordes
judgement
is
compared
to
a
Barbers
Raser
,
which
shall
haue
the
haire
of
the
head
and
the
feete
,
euen
the
hyest
and
the
lowest
,
the
Pesant
and
the
Prince
.
Tophet
is
prepared
for
the
King
and
the
mightie
shall
be
mightely
tormented
.
The
Lord
puts
this
text
into
his
seruant
Ieremies
mouth
:
Say
vnto
the
King
&
the
Queene
.
Humble
your selues
,
sit
downe
,
for
the
Crowne
of
your
glorie
shall
come
downe
.
The
greate
mountaine
before
Zorobabell
shall
be
made
plaine
:
it
is
the
prophecie
and
aphorisme
of
the
Prophet
.
Corrupt
Iudges
shal
then
stand
at
the
Barre
before
their
judge
,
and
be
condemned
,
as
Shebna
was
.
Come
let
vs
take
to
our selues
the
house
of
God
in
possession
,
who
haue
alreadie
broken
downe
the
carued
workes
therof
with
axes
,
&
hammers
shall
be
condemned
in
the
iudgement
with
Achan
,
who
stole
a
wedge
of
golde
and
a
Babilonish
garment
,
Finally
let
all
the
sort
of
Schismatiques
that
fight
vnder
the
standard
of
their
grand
Captaines
Korah
and
his
complices
,
2.
The
next
circumstance
is
the
maner
of
the
trial
,
&
iudicial
proceeding
with
the
persons
conuented
in
the
iudgment
,
&
that
is
,
by
the
bookes
&
euidences
that
are
put
in
against
them
:
wherin
what
is
ment
by
these
bookes
,
&
how
many
bookes
there
are
,
it
is
to
be
considered
.
By
the
bookes
I
vnderstand
the
certaine
&
infallible
knowledge
of
God
,
his
remembrance
&
care
of
al
things
,
especially
of
such
as
concerne
his
chosen
ones
:
so
as
their
number
&
names
are
before
his
eyes
,
as
if
he
had
amanuenses
,
registers
&
Scriueners
to
make
enrolment
of
them
.
For
as
he
numbreth
the
stars
&
calleth
them
al
by
their
names
:
as
he
keepeth
tale
of
the
haires
of
our
head
,
so
as
not
one
of
them
fal
away
from
vs
without
his
foreknowledge
:
as
his
prouidence
stretcheth
it self
to
the
handful
of
meale
of
the
woman
of
zarepthah
,
&
to
the
pitcher
of
oyle
of
the
preachers
widow
:
to
the
fal
of
a
sparrow
from
the
house
top
to
the
cloathing
of
the
lilleis
,
&
grasse
of
the
field
:
to
the
prouission
of
the
young
Rauens
that
call
vpon
him
:
so
much
more
keepeth
hee
a
Kalender
of
our
dooings
,
and
setteth
our
secret
sins
in
the
sight
of
his
countenance
.
Thus
Metaphoricallie
in
this
sence
are
Bookes
giuen
to
God
,
the
spirit
heere
alluding
to
the
custome
of
the
wise
,
to
Princes
,
Vniuersities
,
Merchants
,
Maisters
of
families
and
such
like
.
Princes
vse
to
haue
a
bill
of
the
names
of
such
as
appertaine
vnto
them
,
that
they
may
knowe
what
number
they
haue
,
&
how
to
prouide
for
them
in
time
.
So
the
Lord
hath
his
court
in
heauen
,
to
which
he
hath
not
chosen
al
,
but
some
before
the
foundations
of
the
worlde
were
laide
.
Now
the
number
and
names
of
such
,
he
keepeth
in
as
sure
and
sweet
remembrance
,
as
if
hee
had
put
them
into
writing
Tables
for
the
purpose
.
As
God
said
to
Moses
,
I
know
thee
by
thy
name
:
He
calleth
his
owne
sheepe
by
name
,
&
else
where
:
because
their
names
were
written
in
heauen
.
Vniuersities
doe
the
like
:
when
they
admitte
any
into
their
corporation
,
they
cataloguize
their
names
:
Merchants
and
Houshoulders
serue
their
memories
in
matters
of
moment
,
by
notes
that
they
keepe
of
them
.
So
this
is
the
reason
and
cause
of
the
Metaphor
,
and
the
signification
of
the
Bookes
,
so
often
remembred
in
diuine
learning
.
Gods
minde
therfore
is
his
book
:
the
Tables
of
our
hearts
are
the
writing
Tables
,
aswel
as
parchment
skrolles
,
wherein
are
thinges
engrossed
.
The
omniscience
of
God
is
the
writing
it selfe
.
Things
are
said
to
be
written
in
a
booke
,
that
is
in
the
sacred
secrets
of
his
brest
,
as
he
knoweth
them
altogether
.
We
finde
three
bookes
giuen
to
God
in
the
Scriptures
.
1.
One
is
of
his
Prouidence
,
&
foreknowledge
of
all
things
before
euer
they
were
.
2.
Another
is
of
the
iudgement
.
3.
The
other
is
of
life
.
The
sweete
singer
of
Israel
saith
.
Thine
eyes
did
see
my
substance
,
yet
being
imperfect
,
and
in
thy
booke
were
all
my
members
written
,
which
day
by
day
were
facioned
,
when
as
yet
there
was
none
of
them
.
There
is
the
first
booke
of
his
prouidence
,
&
foreknowledge
.
2.
The
second
which
is
the
book
of
iudgement
hath
two
Tomes
or
volumes
.
1.
The
first
is
his
vnderstanding
of
all
our
workes
and
wordes
,
according
to
which
hee
will
award
Iudgement
in
the
day
of
iudgement
:
so
as
this
is
insteed
of
a
rolle
in
Gods
hand
,
wherein
the
names
of
all
delinquents
are
set
downe
,
and
the
qualitie
of
their
dooings
.
2.
The
other
Tome
is
the
booke
of
euerie
ones
conscience
,
which
shall
performe
testimonie
to
things
done
and
vndone
,
which
may
also
bee
entitled
the
booke
of
life
,
that
is
of
this
life
:
which
diuine
operation
in
the
conscience
accusing
or
excusing
,
scientia
conscientiam
the
knowledge
,
the
conscience
,
hath
the
name
of
a
booke
,
because
in
that
in
a
manner
is
read
,
whatsoeuer
by
the
agent
hath
bene
hid
.
3.
The
third
book
is
inscribed
the
booke
of
life
,
that
is
of
Gods
predestination
to
eternal
life
:
which
is
begun
in
this
life
by
our
stedfast
faith
in
Christ
,
according
to
the
words
of
Christ
,
Hee
that
beleeueth
in
me
hath
eternal
life
,
that
is
the
inchoation
&
first
fruits
therof
,
after
death
it
must
haue
consummation
&
perfection
.
So
the
book
of
life
is
a
register
or
role
in
the
Lords
right
hand
of
the
names
of
such
as
are
preordinated
to
euerlasting
life
,
whom
God
will
alwaies
acknowledge
to
be
his
,
I
knowe
whom
I
haue
chosen
,
as
St.
Paule
saith
:
The
Lord
knoweth
who
are
his
.
This
book
is
often
spoken
of
in
the
scriptures
,
as
by
Moses
:
Rase
me
out
of
thy
book
which
thou
hast
written
.
Dauid
,
Let
them
be
put
out
of
the
book
of
life
,
&
not
be
written
among
the
righteous
.
By
Isaiah
he
shal
be
called
holy
,
that
shal
be
written
among
the
liuing
in
Ierusalem
.
Ezechiel
,
They
shal
not
be
written
in
the
writings
of
the
house
of
Israel
.
By
Daniel
:
Euery
one
shal
be
deliuered
,
that
shal
be
found
written
in
the
book
.
The
new
Testament
doth
often
intreate
of
it
:
Reioyce
because
your
name
is
written
in
heauen
,
that
is
,
in
the
book
of
life
:
I
beleeue
thee
faithful
yoake-fellow
helpe
those
women
which
laboured
with
me
in
the
Gospel
,
with
Clement
also
,
&
with
other
my
fellow
labourers
,
whose
names
are
in
the
book
of
life
:
so
doth
the
spirit
elsewhere
in
the
Reuelation
.
There
shal
enter
in
it
no
vncleane
thing
,
neither
whatsoeuer
worketh
abhomination
〈…〉
Now
these
bookes
shal
be
opened
,
that
is
the
Lord
whose
fiery
eyes
of
his
omniscience
peirceth
al
things
,
that
holdeth
the
ball
of
the
worlde
in
his
hands
,
and
keepeth
a
perfect
reckoning
of
our
doings
,
shal
set
euery
ones
seueral
sinne
in
his
sight
.
And
this
diuine
power
shal
smite
open
the
doores
of
our
consciences
,
which
shal
cal
to
remembrance
our
forepassed
misdeeds
&
conuict
&
condemne
them
.
For
there
is
a
booke
that
is
written
in
our
hearts
,
which
is
of
the
workes
of
the
law
,
the
Lord
hauing
imprinted
in
them
the
notions
of
them
:
as
naturally
enduing
the
verye
heathens
with
iudgement
to
deuide
good
from
euill
,
&
to
discerne
betweene
thinges
honest
and
dishonest
,
that
no
man
might
hold
vp
for
his
defence
,
the
target
of
ignorance
.
This
we
shall
soone
perceiue
by
our
cursory
conference
of
the
ten
commaundements
,
with
their
politick
sanctions
.
1.
Of
the
first
which
teacheth
that
there
is
a
God
whom
we
al
stand
bound
to
worship
,
the
Orator
Cicero
saith
:
Whether
there
be
Gods
or
no
,
I
haue
nothing
to
say
,
was
by
the
Athenians
banished
for
it
.
2.
To
the
second
,
which
is
an
inhibition
of
Idolatry
the
Persians
gaue
consent
,
who
as
Strabo
writeth
〈…〉
abhomination
,
burned
and
destroyed
their
Temples
and
their
Images
.
Cornelius
Tacitus
storyeth
it
of
the
auncient
Germaines
,
that
they
held
it
verie
vnbeseeming
the
heauenly
Maiestie
,
to
mure
him
vp
within
priuat
walles
,
&
according
to
humane
shape
to
shadow
him
.
And
Numa
the
second
King
of
the
Romains
(
as
Plutarch
relateth
)
held
it
verie
heynous
,
that
any
should
comprehend
the
inuisible
God
,
vnder
the
similitude
of
a
visible
creature
.
3.
The
third
precept
against
blasphemie
,
and
prophane
vse
of
this
great
name
,
was
as
duely
practised
among
them
.
Theophrastus
noteth
Pericles
with
his
inckhorne
for
an
absurd
fellow
,
as
shewing
to
a
friend
of
his
in
his
sicknes
,
certaine
charmes
,
which
old
Beldams
had
tyed
about
his
neck
,
vnder
which
the
name
of
God
was
inuocated
and
prophaned
.
Tullus
Hostilius
was
stricken
out
of
life
,
by
a
thunder
bolte
,
and
was
depriued
of
solemnitie
of
funeralles
,
because
it
was
in
his
minde
to
haue
called
out
Iupiter
,
and
so
to
haue
cast
abuse
vpon
his
name
.
4.
The
fourth
of
the
Sabaoth
,
was
by
them
solemly
obserued
:
which
their
Lawes
in
that
behalfe
prouided
,
aboundantly
doe
testifie
,
but
heerein
wee
are
to
giue
them
the
blame
,
that
they
pestred
and
cloyed
the
Religion
of
the
Sabaoth
with
such
a
crew
of
jdle
and
nastie
ceremonies
.
Now
this
common
sentence
of
theirs
,
then
in
euerie
ones
mouth
,
That
which
thou
wouldest
not
haue
done
to
thee
,
doe
not
to
another
,
is
the
somme
&
Epitomie
of
the
cannons
of
the
second
Table
:
but
yet
let
vs
in
a
word
particularize
vpon
them
.
5.
How
they
esteemed
of
Parents
,
and
of
the
aged
,
and
gray
headed
,
that
goe
also
in
Diuinity
,
vnder
the
name
of
parents
,
bee
their
owne
Authors
judges
.
It
is
Menanders
saying
:
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
The
great
Gods
are
to
wisemen
their
Parents
.
The
same
Poet
also
saith
:
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
I
will
that
thou
haue
thy
Parents
in
all
honor
.
Valerius
giueth
vs
a
memorable
example
of
a
Daughter
,
who
being
charged
vpon
paine
of
death
,
not
to
bring
any
succour
to
her
Mother
,
being
adiudged
to
die
by
famishment
in
prison
,
hauing
accesse
to
her
,
releeued
her
nothwithstanding
with
the
milke
of
her
brestes
,
which
was
so
admired
as
it
effected
the
womans
pardon
.
But
how
could
this
haue
bene
saith
Valerius
,
had
not
the
verie
instinct
of
nature
,
weitten
this
law
of
loue
within
her
heart
?
hence
it
is
that
Solon
,
thought
it
superfluous
to
giue
a
decree
against
Parricides
,
as
not
imagining
that
any
could
so
put
off
nature
,
as
to
bereaue
them
of
their
life
,
of
whome
they
had
their
life
.
And
how
they
rogarded
those
that
were
in
yeares
,
Parents
for
their
age
,
this
custome
of
theirs
sheweth
Credebant
hoc
grande
nefas
,
et
morte
piandum
:
Si
Iuuenis
vetulo
non
assurrexerit
.
They
did
account
it
a
prodigious
impiety
and
capital
,
for
the
young
men
not
to
rise
vp
,
and
to
doe
reuerence
to
the
aged
.
6.
Murther
was
of
that
execrable
nature
vnto
them
,
as
Romulus
confoundeth
these
two
words
together
,
homicidium
and
parricidium
:
adiudging
homicide
&
Paricide
al
one
:
yea
the
punishment
therof
was
so
exquisite
,
as
there
was
not
a
man
slaine
by
priuate
hand
within
the
walles
of
Rome
,
for
the
space
of
sixe
hundred
and
twentie
yeares
after
that
Citye
was
founded
,
as
Dion
Halicarnasseus
doth
report
.
7.
How
by
nature
the
heathens
abhorred
whoredome
,
and
were
therin
a
law
vnto
themselues
,
before
the
law
of
God
was
giuen
:
the
examples
of
Pharao
,
&
Abimilech
shewes
,
who
assaulted
Sara
in
ignorance
that
she
was
anothers
wife
.
8.
Theft
,
by
the
Athenian
Law-giuer
,
Draco
was
punished
by
death
:
&
by
Solon
by
double
dammage
:
and
by
the
Romaines
,
according
to
the
proportion
of
the
fellony
,
yea
Vsurie
which
is
thefts
Daughter
,
is
consorted
by
Cato
the
elder
to
murder
.
9.
They
made
such
prouision
against
false
testimony
as
it
was
enacted
among
them
,
that
none
shold
be
a
witnes
in
his
own
cause
though
the
matter
were
neuer
so
meane
as
Cicero
saith
.
10.
The
last
was
verie
requisite
to
curbe
our
affections
:
Sophocles
calleth
this
affection
of
coueting
that
is
an
others
,
a
furious
commaunder
.
It
was
the
answere
of
Leonides
to
Xerxes
,
egging
him
to
defection
,
and
promising
him
the
Grecian
monarchie
,
vppon
that
condition
:
If
thou
knewest
what
thinges
were
honest
in
this
life
,
thou
wouldest
forbeare
to
couet
that
which
is
anothers
:
as
for
mee
I
had
rather
die
then
doe
it
.
But
heere
the
natural
mans
conscience
is
as
a
book
clasped
,
and
shut
vp
,
euery
man
being
willingly
ignorant
of
that
,
which
the
Lord
with
an
iron
pen
hath
thus
written
in
his
heart
,
eyther
not
acknowledging
his
misdoings
with
Giezi
,
who
could
say
to
his
Maister
,
Thy
seruant
was
no
where
,
or
else
pleading
a
good
intention
in
defence
of
a
bad
action
,
Thou
art
the
man
.
The
accusers
of
the
woman
taken
in
adultery
,
drewe
a
formall
Bil
of
inditement
against
her
,
If
an
othe
would
haue
gone
for
payment
,
Peter
had
a
lustie
one
at
commaundent
in
the
deniall
of
his
Maister
,
to
put
of
a
daunger
,
I
know
not
the
man
.
So
long
as
there
were
eleuen
els
,
vpon
whom
Christes
prediction
of
a
traytor
to
come
out
of
the
company
of
the
twelue
,
Maister
is
it
I
?
But
in
the
iudgement
Adam
shal
be
put
besides
his
apron
of
figge
leaues
,
Sara
besides
her
Tent
,
Thamer
besides
her
maske
,
and
euerie
mans
conscience
shal
say
vnto
him
,
as
Achab
to
Elias
:
Hast
thou
found
me
,
O
my
enemy
?
Quando

Opening
of
the
bookes
,
heere
spoken
of
Gods
omniscience
calling
into
our
knowledge
all
our
misdeedes
and
our
vnrestie
conscience
in
the
guiltines
thereof
,
openly
acknowledging
them
.
We
haue
many
dueties
red
vs
in
this
lecture
of
the
opening
of
the
bookes
.
1.
As
first
of
humiliation
and
repentance
.
This
was
that
the
Apostle
would
inferre
out
of
the
Sermon
that
hee
made
to
the
Athenians
of
the
iudgement
,
the
Text
whereof
was
:
The
Lord
hath
appointed
a
day
wherein
he
wil
iudge
the
world
in
righteousnes
.
For
all
our
new
Doctrine
,
wee
keepe
still
the
old
conuersation
.
But
for
Gods
sake
let
vs
thinke
of
the
counte
day
,
and
preuent
the
iudgement
to
come
with
newnes
of
life
,
as
Iacob
by
rewards
sent
before
him
,
aswadged
the
furie
of
his
Brother
Esau
.
Let
vs
meete
the
Lord
in
the
way
,
If
we
would
iudge
our selues
,
we
should
not
be
iudged
.
A
former
iudgement
taken
out
of
our selues
,
shal
be
a
Supersedeas
to
the
second
judgement
that
must
else
come
out
against
vs
.
To
the
due
performance
wherof
these
foure
things
are
required
.
1.
A
due
examination
of
our selues
,
to
trye
althings
:
wherefore
it
followeth
by
needful
consequence
,
Isaack
tryed
his
Children
before
he
blessed
them
.
Salomon
tried
who
was
the
right
mother
:
The
Ephramites
were
tried
before
they
could
passe
Iordan
:
Grasiers
try
their
Oxen
,
Merchans
their
golde
,
wisemen
their
seruants
.
Therfore
we
are
much
more
to
try
our selues
.
2.
Hauing
found
out
our
sinnes
in
the
next
roome
,
we
must
confesse
them
vnto
the
Lord
.
In
this
duetie
lyeth
a
great
part
of
Gods
glory
,
as
Iosua
saith
to
Achan
:
My
Son
giue
glory
to
God
and
confes
what
thou
hast
done
:
Vulnera
clausa
plus
cruciant
.
2.
It
is
also
caution
&
prouision
against
rash
iudgement
,
it
is
the
vse
and
applycation
,
the
Apostle
maketh
of
it
in
two
places
:
Iudge
nothing
before
the
time
,
vntill
the
Lord
come
,
who
lighten
things
that
are
hid
in
darknes
,
and
make
the
counsels
of
the
heart
manifest
.
Why
doest
thou
iudge
thy
Brother
,
for
we
must
all
appeare
before
the
iudgement
seate
of
Christ
.
To
God
onely
appertaineth
the
iudgement
,
and
the
iudiciall
seate
he
keepeth
onely
to
himselfe
,
wherefore
Christ
saith
:
Iudgement
is
mine
.
Wherefore
what
a
presumption
is
this
for
the
prisoner
that
must
stand
at
the
Barre
to
be
iudged
,
to
take
the
roome
on
the
bench
that
belongeth
vnto
the
Iudge
?
the
Lord
wil
be
sure
to
recompence
this
saucines
with
retaliation
of
iudgement
,
as
he
insinuateth
in
this
his
caution
,
Iudge
not
&
ye
shal
not
be
iudged
.
But
this
is
the
common
disease
of
our
nature
and
as
kinde
vnto
vs
,
as
the
skinne
that
we
carrie
about
vs
,
we
wil
giue
iudgement
of
a
mans
inclination
if
wee
but
see
his
outward
behauionr
and
action
.
As
if
he
looketh
downeward
wee
will
note
him
for
an
Hypocrite
:
If
vpward
,
wee
conclude
him
to
bee
proud
:
If
silent
too
seuere
,
if
somewhat
pleasant
&
talkatiue
to
be
too
remisse
.
If
somewhat
frugal
too
couetous
,
if
somewhat
liberal
too
careles
,
if
somewhat
costly
in
apparrel
too
lasciuious
,
if
somewhat
familiar
a
flatterer
,
if
somewhat
graue
,
stoical
.
There
was
a
fellowe
shot
his
fooles
bolte
at
Pompey
,
and
argued
him
of
effeminate
nature
,
for
hee
scratched
his
head
forsooth
with
one
of
his
fingers
,
&
that
was
the
luxate
logique
to
conclude
it
.
This
Hydra
doth
more
hurt
then
any
one
can
diuine
,
yea
euen
in
the
church
among
vs
:
while
he
that
is
formall
taketh
the
other
side
to
be
too
peeuish
,
and
those
that
would
reforme
take
vs
to
be
too
Popish
.
For
my
part
I
shal
iudge
of
them
in
loue
,
and
if
they
shall
iudge
of
vs
according
to
their
lusts
,
I
shall
leaue
them
to
their
lusts
:
to
contend
with
them
,
wee
haue
no
such
custome
nor
the
church
of
God
:
we
will
not
take
vp
the
Lordes
peculiar
Chayre
,
which
hee
hath
in
the
hearts
and
the
reynes
of
men
.
In
many
things
we
sinne
all
,
the
Lord
be
mercifull
vnto
vs
all
.
3.
It
traineth
vs
to
the
timely
reuerence
and
feare
of
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
giue
him
his
glorie
:
the
spirituall
learning
deducted
from
the
iudgement
which
the
Angell
giueth
vs
.
Feare
God
and
giue
glory
to
him
,
for
the
houre
of
his
iudgement
is
come
.
For
be
our
sinewes
neuer
so
hooped
about
with
iron
,
and
our
hearts
harder
then
the
neither
most
milstone
,
the
hammer
of
Gods
iudgement
wil
break
&
mollifie
them
,
or
else
there
is
no
Iron
instrument
in
the
worlde
can
doe
it
.
The
Cananites
were
as
contumacious
a
people
as
any
vnder
the
Sunne
:
yet
the
comming
of
Moses
,
Ioshua
&
the
people
of
Israel
in
military
maner
,
so
perplexed
&
apalled
them
,
as
their
hearts
melted
in
their
bellies
as
waxe
before
the
Sun
.
And
shall
not
the
comming
of
the
great
Iehouah
,
riding
vpon
the
heauens
as
vpon
an
horse
,
&
flying
with
the
wings
of
the
winde
,
like
a
man
of
war
,
putting
on
the
habergeon
,
&
swoord
of
justice
,
which
shal
then
be
dronken
with
blood
in
heauen
,
more
strike
vs
out
of
heart
,
&
take
our
spirits
from
vs
?
Elias
his
comming
to
the
Priestes
of
Baal
,
was
their
stupefaction
&
destruction
:
wherefore
Christ
his
comming
in
wrath
and
indignation
,
his
face
burning
,
and
his
lippes
full
of
indignation
,
must
needes
haue
a
more
terrible
operation
in
vs
.
If
the
armed
Soldiers
sent
to
attache
Christ
in
the
garden
,
I
am
the
man
:
when
euerie
word
shal
be
a
deadly
wound
to
the
wicked
in
the
iudgement
,
how
shall
they
be
able
to
abide
it
?
whose
brestes
and
sides
,
shall
then
bee
able
to
receiue
the
quiuer
of
his
arrowes
,
which
must
licke
vp
all
their
blood
and
deuoure
their
flesh
.
This
Doctrine
therefore
of
the
opening
of
the
bookes
,
openeth
all
our
hearts
:
wherfore
goe
we
not
about
to
pluck
out
the
eyes
of
al
knowledge
of
God
,
with
Dauids
vaine
man
that
saith
:
Tush
God
doth
not
see
it
,
the
God
of
Iaacob
doth
not
regard
it
,
who
is
there
noted
for
a
noddy
for
his
labour
:
O
thou
foole
,
shal
not
he
that
made
the
eye
see
?
The
Lord
is
not
liable
to
the
scorne
that
was
throwne
vpon
Baal
,
Cry
lowder
,
for
Baal
may
be
otherwise
imployed
,
or
coasting
about
the
Countrie
,
or
happily
hath
betaken
himselfe
to
his
pillow
and
is
at
rest
.
His
seauen
eyes
saith
Zacharie
runne
through
the
world
:
the
circles
thereof
are
broader
then
the
Moone
:
And
as
he
is
Totus
oculus
,
as
Augustine
saith
:
so
he
is
totus
manus
,
he
is
all
hand
to
strike
:
and
let
this
serue
for
the
Doctrine
of
this
place
.
But
there
is
an
other
wrighting
booke
besides
these
,
that
is
to
be
opened
,
bearing
heere
the
Title
of
the
booke
of
life
,
namely
of
our
eternall
life
,
begun
in
this
life
,
and
finished
by
our
death
.
But
wee
must
likewise
distinguish
of
this
,
as
it
is
of
two
sortes
.
1.
The
first
is
a
wrighting
in
opinion
and
not
indeede
,
the
iudgement
of
the
faithfull
which
is
led
by
charitie
,
being
led
blind-folde
by
the
Hypocrisie
of
many
,
who
make
shewes
of
Godlynes
,
&
vse
strange
fallacies
betweene
the
Temple
and
the
Alter
,
to
the
enchauntment
of
their
soules
,
as
staring
vp
with
their
eyes
,
eleuating
their
hands
,
smiting
of
their
brests
,
hanging
downe
their
heads
,
wagging
their
lippes
,
sighing
,
weeping
,
and
looking
demurely
,
with
many
such
mockeries
,
which
easily
coozen
credulous
charitable
Christians
.
But
howsoeuer
these
haue
a
name
that
they
liue
,
the
courtesie
of
Christians
making
the
best
construction
of
their
painted
profession
,
and
wrighting
them
in
the
Church
booke
:
they
are
not
indeede
in
the
wrightings
of
the
house
of
Israel
,
or
in
the
legend
of
the
liuing
.
For
the
Lord
will
strippe
them
of
these
vaine
shewes
,
and
bewray
their
hollowe
hearts
and
discouer
all
their
knauerie
.
2.
The
second
sort
,
is
vncreated
prescience
,
and
eternall
foreknowledge
,
by
which
he
acknowledgeth
,
and
hath
acknowledged
those
whom
he
hath
preordinated
to
be
his
.
Of
this
saith
Augustine
,
Liber
iste
apertus
non
admonet
deum
qui
sunt
sernandi
,
sed
predestinationem
eorum
significat
,
quibus
aeterna
dabitur
vita
.
Neque
enim
nescit
eos
Deus
,
aut
in
hoc
libro
legit
vt
sciat
:
sed
potius
ipsa
eius
praescientia
de
illis
quae
falli
non
potest
,
liber
est
vite
in
quo
sit
scripti
id
est
praecognitj
.
This
booke
that
is
opened
,
doth
not
learne
God
who
are
to
bee
saued
:
but
it
signifieth
the
predestination
of
such
,
to
whome
eternal
life
shall
be
giuen
.
Neyther
are
they
vnknowne
to
God
,
neyther
readeth
hee
in
this
booke
to
knowe
them
:
but
rather
his
very
foreknowledge
it selfe
of
them
,
which
cannot
be
deceiued
,
is
the
booke
of
life
,
in
which
they
are
written
,
that
is
to
say
,
foreknowne
.
Now
heere
we
are
to
open
the
vaine
of
the
liuelyest
and
sweetest
question
in
the
Bible
.
Whether
hee
whose
name
is
once
entred
into
the
booke
of
life
,
may
euer
be
blotted
out
,
that
is
,
whether
an
elect
childe
of
God
,
can
euer
be
a
reprobate
?
Our
answere
is
negatiue
that
he
cannot
:
&
the
affirmatiue
part
is
most
detestable
,
&
diuelish
.
True
faith
doth
not
know
what
this
meaneth
,
to
houer
between
hope
&
feare
,
as
the
Rauen
ouer
the
Arke
between
heauen
&
earth
.
Our
faith
layeth
holde
vpon
the
omnipotencie
of
God
,
as
being
in
security
of
his
wil
,
it
being
ours
by
promises
before
the
best
witnesses
in
heauen
&
earth
,
vnder
the
wrighting
of
his
hand
,
&
the
seale
of
the
blood
of
the
Lambe
:
whatsoeuer
hee
would
haue
vs
beleeue
,
hee
hath
liberallie
promised
of
his
owne
accord
,
which
hee
would
neuer
haue
done
,
had
hee
not
minded
to
stand
to
his
bargaine
,
and
to
be
as
good
as
his
word
.
But
let
vs
carrie
away
the
cause
from
euerie
gaine-sayer
by
the
power
,
and
strong
hand
of
argument
.
Of
the
iust
saith
the
Psalmist
.
1.
Argument
salme
.
1.
His
leafe
shall
not
fade
,
as
a
tree
planted
by
the
right
hand
of
God
,
and
ingrafted
into
the
stocke
Christ
Iesus
;
he
so
ordering
their
goings
,
as
they
shall
not
turne
aside
to
vngodly
counsailes
,
to
the
waies
of
the
wicked
,
or
take
vp
the
seate
&
chaire
of
the
scorneful
.
The
Prophet
Isaiah
speaking
of
the
kingdome
of
Christ
,
which
is
the
church
,
saith
:
He
shal
sit
vpon
his
kingdome
to
order
it
,
and
to
stablish
it
with
iudgement
and
Iustice
from
hence
foorth
,
euen
for
euer
.
But
this
justice
is
established
by
faith
in
the
regenerate
,
by
which
we
stand
.

Cor.

yea
by
which
we
liue

If
this
be
,
out
of
crie
true
,
of
the
whole
church
,
it
cannot
but
be
verified
of
euery
singular
member
therof
.
Ieremie
pleasureth
vs
with
as
plaine
a
place
as
can
be
,
saying
:
I
wil
put
my
feare
in
their
hearts
,
that
they
Shal
not
depart
from
me
.
This
so
satisfied
Augustine
,
as
he
often
to
this
purpose
produceth
it
.
Hosea
singeth
the
selfe
same
song
,
taking
his
text
from
the
Lordes
owne
mouth
.
I
wil
marry
thee
vnto
me
for
euer
in
righteousnes
.
I
wil
marry
thee
vnto
mee
in
faithfulnes
.
This
Sermon
is
made
to
all
the
elect
.
And
the
reason
standeth
thus
:
Christ
knitteth
the
indissoluble
marriage
knot
with
the
Church
,
faith
being
the
marriage
ring
that
ioyneth
them
.
Therfore
those
whome
hee
hath
thus
conioyned
to
himselfe
,
who
shall
put
a
sunder
?
The
Lord
by
the
mouth
of
the
Prophet
Amos
saith
:
I
will
plant
thee
vpon
their
land
,
and
they
shall
bee
no
more
pulled
vp
againe
out
of
their
land
.
The
plants
are
the
elect
:
the
plot
wherein
they
are
planted
is
the
church
,
as
ingrafted
into
Christ
:
they
are
planted
therein
by
a
true
and
liuely
faith
.
Now
to
these
is
this
promise
made
,
they
shall
be
no
more
pulled
vp
.
The
Church
is
founded
vpon
a
Rocke
,
Hell
gates
shall
not
preuaile
against
this
Rocke
.
It
is
Christs
saying
,
All
that
the
Father
giueth
mee
shall
come
to
me
,
and
him
that
commeth
to
me
,
I
cast
not
away
.
For
this
is
the
will
of
my
Father
that
sent
mee
,
that
of
all
which
he
hath
giuen
mee
,
I
should
lacke
nothing
,
but
should
raise
it
vp
againe
at
the
last
day
.
Here
is
the
whole
forme
&
structure
of
our
saluation
,
and
the
compasse
and
dimensions
of
it
.
For
whereas
the
father
hath
giuen
vs
all
to
Christ
,
1.
Heere
is
our
election
:
So
that
we
holde
of
Christ
as
in
Capite
,
our
mediator
in
whome
wee
were
chosen
before
the
ground-worke
of
the
world
was
laide
.
And
whereas
those
that
are
thus
giuen
cannot
bee
kept
from
him
,
but
must
come
vnto
him
:
2.
There
is
our
effectuall
and
liuely
vocation
,
our
comming
to
Christ
being
by
the
feete
of
our
faith
:
nowe
in
that
it
is
added
,
that
such
as
come
vnto
him
,
he
wil
not
cast
away
.
3.
There
is
our
justification
,
and
the
gift
of
perseuerance
in
Christ
.
The
conclusion
,
I
will
raise
him
vp
againe
at
the
last
day
.
4.
Is
the
hand
that
pointeth
at
our
glorification
.
Vpon
the
former
wordes
of
Christ
,
Those
whome
he
knew
before
,
he
also
predestinate
,
and
whome
he
predestinate
,
them
also
he
called
,
and
whome
he
called
them
also
he
justified
:
and
whom
he
justified
,
them
also
he
glorified
,
which
are
the
foure
ringes
and
linckes
of
one
chaine
that
are
impartible
,
let
down
from
heauen
,
to
draw
vs
vp
thither
.
1.
The
first
is
our
predestination
to
life
in
Christ
.
2.
The
second
is
our
effectual
calling
to
Christ
.
3.
The
third
is
our
Iustification
by
Christ
.
4.
The
fourth
is
our
glorification
with
Christ
.
The
last
cannot
be
broken
from
the
first
,
nor
the
first
from
the
last
,
wherefore
it
is
impossible
the
predestinate
should
perish
.
The
reason
heereof
layeth
in
the
nature
of
God
,
his
will
and
counsel
answering
his
nature
,
his
nature
being
without
variablenesse
or
shadowe
of
change
:
as
he
telleth
vs
saying
:
am
Iehouah
and
I
change
not
,
it
is
no
way
subiect
to
repentance
,
to
which
Balam
perfourmeth
testimonie
:
God
is
not
as
man
that
hee
should
lye
,
neither
as
the
Sonne
of
man
that
he
should
repent
:
hath
hee
said
and
shall
he
not
doe
it
?
and
hath
he
spoken
,
and
shall
he
not
accomplish
it
?
It
is
Augustines
apt
inference
,
Shall
man
say
That
I
haue
written
,
I
haue
written
?
(
which
was
Pilats
speech
of
the
title
and
inscription
that
was
set
vpon
Christes
Crosse
)
and
shall
God
goe
from
his
hand
wrighting
,
or
alter
?
Let
God
be
true
and
euerie
man
else
a
lyar
,
that
he
may
be
iustified
in
his
sayings
,
&
cleere
when
he
is
iudged
.
It
is
Christs
asseueration
.
No
man
can
tyke
my
sheepe
from
my
hands
.
Heereupon
it
is
concluded
that
the
elect
being
deliuered
by
the
father
into
the
hands
of
his
Sonne
,
and
ioyned
vnto
him
by
a
liuely
faith
,
cannot
be
snatched
from
him
.
It
is
Christ
his
gracious
promise
,
I
wil
aske
my
father
&
he
shal
giue
thee
another
comforter
,
&
he
shal
abide
with
you
for
euer
,
wherefore
the
holy
Ghost
dwelleth
with
them
for
euer
,
with
whome
hee
hath
once
bene
.
If
any
thing
could
blotte
or
teare
out
our
names
out
of
the
Booke
of
life
,
whosoeuer
hath
sinned
against
me
,
I
will
put
him
out
of
my
Booke
.
But
this
shall
not
scare
vs
,
as
being
to
be
vnderstood
of
preapared
,
and
presumptuous
sinne
,
which
goeth
downe
to
the
graue
with
vs
,
which
a
final
impenitencie
doth
accompany
.
For
as
God
could
not
be
stopped
by
the
foreseene
sinnes
of
his
Saints
,
from
making
entrie
of
their
names
into
the
Lambes
booke
of
life
,
so
when
sin
hath
done
the
extent
of
his
spight
,
it
shall
neuer
seperate
his
loue
towards
vs
,
wherin
it
thus
pleased
him
at
the
first
to
enrole
vs
.
We
are
worthie
whose
names
should
be
raced
&
defaced
:
as
hauing
shewed
our
sins
as
Sodom
,
cast
down
our selues
vpon
the
bedde
of
sinne
,
as
Iezabel
vppon
a
bedde
of
fornication
,
drinking
iniquitie
as
an
Asse
drinketh
water
,
as
Iob
saith
,
and
drawing
iniquitie
with
cordes
of
vanitie
,
and
sinne
as
it
were
with
cart-ropes
,
as
Isaiah
saith
:
&
the
Lord
punisheth
our
iniquities
by
the
rodde
,
and
our
sinnes
by
scourges
:
but
his
mercie
will
hee
neuer
take
from
vs
,
it
being
tyed
to
vs
by
an
euerlasting
couenant
.
Yea
because
wee
are
written
vnto
life
by
God
,
wee
shall
not
sinne
contumaciouslie
and
stubbornely
,
or
continue
in
it
as
the
wicked
doe
.
Our
Faith
may
bee
much
perplexed
with
doubts
,
ouershaddowed
with
cloudes
,
shaken
with
tempests
,
winnowed
by
Sathan
,
and
the
shield
and
breast
plate
thereof
may
be
tryed
to
the
vttermoste
by
all
the
fierye
dartes
of
the
deuill
:
our
faith
may
be
challenged
the
field
,
and
endure
a
fierce
fight
,
and
bee
in
an
agonye
,
and
blodye
sweate
as
Christ
was
in
the
garden
:
it
may
bee
as
the
last
sparke
of
a
fire
readye
to
goe
out
,
as
the
last
gaspe
that
a
mans
dying
spirit
giueth
:
yet
shall
it
kindle
and
recouer
againe
,
and
in
all
these
thinges
be
conqueror
.
Bee
the
Sunne
neuer
so
much
vnder
a
cloude
,
it
will
breake
out
againe
,
and
appeare
vnto
vs
in
his
perfect
beautie
.
Though
fire
bee
couered
vnder
ashes
,
it
will
execute
his
nature
.
Though
the
Philistimes
take
the
Arke
of
the
Lord
,
they
shall
restore
it
to
the
Isralites
againe
.
These
are
aplycations
to
faith
,
which
howsoeuer
assaulted
with
temptations
,
and
borne
downe
a
while
,
shal
rise
vp
againe
and
haue
the
vpper
hand
of
them
,
the
Lord
being
faithfull
and
iust
,
&
not
suffring
vs
to
be
tryed
aboue
that
which
wee
are
able
to
beare
.
There
is
an
Apoplexie
of
sinne
in
man
,
which
seemeth
to
stop
his
life
altogether
,
but
he
shall
recouer
againe
.
Thus
there
was
in
Dauid
an
Apoplexie
of
adulterie
,
which
he
ouercame
:
thus
there
was
an
Apoplexie
of
idolatrie
in
Salomon
,
which
wee
doubt
not
hee
subdued
:
thus
there
was
an
apoplexie
of
crueltie
in
Paule
,
while
he
was
a
Saul
,
which
the
Lord
did
driue
from
him
:
thus
there
was
an
apoplexie
of
periurie
in
Peter
,
which
his
repentance
shooke
off
.
It
is
with
a
Christian
,
as
it
was
with
Eutichus
,
that
fell
from
the
third
lofte
,
and
was
taken
vp
dead
,
of
whome
Paule
said
:
Trouble
not
your selues
,
for
his
life
is
in
him
.
OUr
election
is
in
God
,
All
thinges
in
God
are
stable
and
vnchangeable
:
Gods
election
is
eternall
:
He
that
changeth
his
purpose
,
The
reasons
producted
against
this
infallible
diuinitie
,
are
simple
God
wot
,
and
wil
hold
no
tacke
with
vs
,
wee
will
single
out
the
best
,
and
scatter
them
like
foame
.
They
oppose
this
Text
out
of
the
Reuelation
,
Hold
that
which
thou
bast
,
that
no
man
take
away
thy
crowne
,
that
is
to
say
,
they
of
beauenly
glory
,
to
which
the
Apostles
sentence
hath
reference
.
Let
him
that
thinketh
be
standeth
,
take
heede
least
be
fall
.
Wee
answere
that
the
Crowne
there
spoken
of
,
is
the
Crowne
of
the
ministrie
,
the
spirit
there
directing
admonition
to
the
Bishop
of
Philadelphia
to
perseuerance
in
his
function
:
least
being
remisle
and
defectiue
therein
,
hee
be
deposed
,
and
another
consecrated
.
But
let
it
carrie
the
construction
,
they
giue
it
:
they
shall
gaine
nothing
by
it
.
For
the
loosing
of
the
Crowne
of
glorie
is
of
double
meaning
.
1.
In
respect
of
our selues
.
2.
In
respect
of
God
.
In
the
first
respect
which
is
of
our selues
,
there
is
nothing
more
certaine
then
that
wee
may
loose
it
being
so
sinfull
as
wee
are
,
and
death
and
not
glorye
being
the
stipend
of
iniquitye
.
But
second
,
in
respect
of
God
that
hath
chosen
vs
:
of
Christ
in
whom
we
are
chosen
,
this
crown
can
neuer
be
taken
from
our
heades
,
being
set
on
by
him
that
can
neuer
repent
himselfe
of
any
thing
that
he
dooth
.
Whereas
they
obiect
to
vs
the
churches
of
the
Ephesians
,
Thessalonians
,
1.
There
is
a
judgement
of
certainty
,
2.
There
is
a
judgement
of
charitie
.
1.
That
which
is
of
certaintye
is
in
God
onely
:
it
is
in
men
but
in
part
,
so
farre
foorth
as
they
haue
certificat
from
God
of
any
mans
estate
.
2.
But
that
which
is
of
charitye
is
belonging
to
vs
all
:
it
being
our
parte
to
leaue
the
Lordes
sacred
secrets
to
himselfe
,
and
to
iudge
the
best
of
euerie
one
,
that
giueth
his
name
to
Christ
,
maketh
a
good
profession
,
and
sheweth
the
fruites
thereof
in
outward
conuersation
,
God
hauing
reuealed
to
vs
nothing
to
the
contrary
.
2.
Also
the
elect
are
so
called
of
the
chiefe
part
,
as
an
heape
of
corne
is
called
corne
though
it
standeth
moste
vppon
chaffe
.
But
they
thinke
they
hold
vp
Alax
his
shield
vnto
vs
,
when
they
tell
vs
of
that
which
Moses
saith
,
Blot
me
out
of
the
Booke
of
life
.
1.
I
wil
not
answere
them
that
that
is
ment
of
the
Booke
of
the
Lawe
which
hee
had
penned
,
as
some
men
doe
:
because
it
is
a
base
exposition
,
and
vnworthye
a
man
of
such
a
spirit
,
as
if
hee
had
throwne
out
these
wordes
in
his
hastinesse
,
and
heate
of
his
blood
.
2.
Neyther
will
I
vnderstand
them
of
the
Booke
of
this
present
life
,
as
if
hee
chose
rather
to
bee
strangled
then
to
liue
in
his
bones
,
albeit
manye
Captaines
are
content
to
dye
for
the
common
good
,
and
therefore
some
would
charge
vs
with
this
sence
.
But
because
it
seemeth
as
golde
that
is
too
light
,
we
wil
not
receiue
it
.
3
Neyther
shall
I
giue
them
reference
to
the
book
of
the
couenant
,
to
the
Catalogue
of
communion
of
Saints
,
&
of
the
church
:
as
if
Moses
would
be
out
of
the
Rubrick
in
the
Kalender
of
the
church
:
because
we
take
it
,
that
Moses
had
a
further
prospect
and
a
higher
reach
then
this
.
4.
Wherefore
wee
will
willingly
receiue
the
meaning
they
doe
like
of
,
that
is
:
of
depriuation
of
eternall
life
,
as
if
hee
should
haue
said
,
put
mee
out
of
thy
predestination
booke
,
implying
this
condition
,
if
it
be
possible
.
But
he
knewe
it
to
be
impossible
.
If
anie
shall
thinke
it
an
absurditye
in
him
to
come
in
with
an
impossible
condition
,
I
choake
them
with
the
like
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
who
not
being
ignorant
that
he
could
not
possible
auoide
the
deadly
cuppe
of
the
red
wine
of
Gods
wrath
,
that
was
giuen
him
to
drinke
,
yet
put
vp
this
forme
of
petition
to
his
father
,
Father
if
it
bee
possible
let
this
Cup
passe
from
me
.
The
like
prayer
hath
Dauid
against
his
enemies
,
Let
them
be
blotted
out
of
the
book
of
life
,
wee
reply
thus
to
that
,
that
their
names
were
neuer
in
the
booke
of
life
,
but
in
the
charitable
opinion
of
men
,
whom
their
hypocrisie
beguiled
.
This
Doctrine
is
much
vseful
,
but
the
chiefest
grace
it
hath
,
is
the
confort
it
giueth
vs
in
the
greatest
temptations
that
besiedge
vs
:
while
we
haue
in
liuely
&
louelye
remembrance
,
the
loue
of
God
towards
vs
,
wherby
wee
are
grauen
with
an
iron
penne
,
in
leade
or
stone
for
euer
,
in
the
Booke
of
Gods
minde
,
and
so
can
neuer
bee
expugned
or
forsaken
.
Why
then
should
wee
bee
afraide
in
the
daies
of
euill
,
when
the
iniquities
compasse
vs
to
the
beeles
?
It
is
Dauids
sweete
aphorisme
with
the
double
spirit
of
Elias
to
haue
a
plause
,
and
aclamation
giuen
vnto
it
.
I
know
nothing
more
detestable
to
God
,
and
dangerous
to
our selues
,
then
to
dispaire
of
Gods
mercie
:
which
is
to
turne
his
truth
into
a
lye
,
and
set
Sathans
suggestions
before
his
gracious
promises
.
Wherfore
we
are
of
Hieroms
minde
,
that
Iudas
his
treason
was
not
so
great
as
Iudas
his
desperation
.
The
reason
whereof
is
giuen
by
Isidore
,
because
his
transgression
was
but
the
death
of
the
soule
:
but
his
desperation
the
introduction
into
the
verie
hell
of
damnation
.
Wherfore
put
but
off
the
helmet
of
this
hope
,
which
couereth
the
braine
panne
,
and
the
Target
of
faith
,
which
hideth
the
heart
,
and
we
perish
vnquestionably
.
Wherfore
be
we
not
worser
then
Lyons
to
rise
vp
against
our selues
,
but
behold
the
Lambe
of
God
,
whose
blood
let
it
bee
sprinckled
on
the
dore
postes
of
your
hearts
.
One
deep
swalloweth
vp
another
:
the
depth
of
his
mercies
,
the
depth
of
our
sinnes
.
Desperation
is
a
disease
incurable
.
For
the
Phiscitian
would
put
to
his
helping
hand
,
and
recouer
vs
:
and
wee
with
our
nailes
vndoe
all
againe
.
Nil
miserius
misero
non
miserante
seip
sum
.
Nothing
is
more
miserable
then
a
miserable
man
,
that
commiserateth
not
himselfe
.
Though
it
was
the
saying
of
an
heathen
,
a
Christian
well
may
vse
it
.
Qui
nihil
potest
sperare
,
desperit
nihil
.
He
that
can
hope
for
nothing
let
him
dispaire
of
nothing
.
Christ
hath
sowed
in
teares
,
that
wee
might
reape
in
ioy
:
He
hath
troden
the
wine-presse
of
Gods
wrath
,
that
wee
might
drink
the
wine
of
his
loue
,
&
be
drunken
with
it
.
He
hath
borne
the
heate
and
burden
of
the
day
,
that
the
wages
might
be
ours
:
He
hath
giuen
vs
a
cup
of
saluation
,
that
we
drincking
it
down
,
might
driue
away
all
dread
and
desperation
:
wherefore
we
hold
vp
our
heads
&
stand
fast
against
all
the
assaults
of
our
enemies
in
this
life
,
after
which
we
shal
enioy
the
place
to
which
we
haue
of
old
by
the
Father
been
written
and
prepared
,
and
which
by
Christ
of
late
hath
bene
purchased
,
&
to
which
by
the
spirit
vnto
the
day
of
redemption
we
are
sealed
.
Now
to
these
three
persons
,
one
eternall
and
euerliuing
God
,
bee
all
honor
,
praise
,
power
,
thankes-giuing
,
ascribed
in
the
congreation
of
Christ
Iesu
,
now
and
for
euer
.
Amen
.
