A
Treatise
,
entituled
Deaths
welcome
.
THE
principall
motiue
which
doth
encourage
a
man
to
welcome
and
imbrace
death
,
is
the
assured
hope
of
the
future
life
,
and
of
those
ioyes
,
which
hee
shall
enioy
in
the
neuer
fading
kingdome
.
Therefore
S.
Paule
saith
,
Vnlesse
the
dead
be
raised
againe
,
what
aduantageth
it
me
to
haue
fought
with
beasts
at
Ephesus
?
For
vnlesse
there
were
a
resurrection
of
the
dead
,
and
an
immortall
life
to
be
obtained
after
this
our
pilgrimage
,
why
should
we
liue
in
ieopardy
euery
howre
,
&
suffer
such
persecution
in
this
world
,
&
not
rather
follow
the
rules
of
the
Epicures
,
eate
,
drinke
,
for
to
morrow
we
shall
die
:
and
vppon
our
graues
,
engraue
the
Epitaph
of
Sardanapalus
,
which
hee
writ
a
little
before
his
death
,
Cum
te
mortalem
noris
,
presentibus
exple
,
Delicijs
animum
,
post
mortem
nulla
voluptas
,
Et
venere
,
et
plumis
,
et
caenis
Sardanapali
.
This
I
say
,
were
the
best
pleasing
life
,
to
eate
with
the
Epicure
,
sleepe
with
Endimion
,
carouse
with
Alexander
,
&
with
the
rich
man
in
the
scripture
,
to
flatter
our selues
,
saying
,
Soule
thou
hast
much
goods
layde
vp
in
store
,
eate
,
drinke
,
and
take
thy
rest
.
Who
would
endure
the
mocks
and
scornes
of
the
world
,
who
would
be
rosted
with
Laurentius
,
or
martyred
with
the
Apostles
,
vnlesse
they
hoped
,
that
after
the
vessel
of
theyr
bodies
were
seasoned
in
the
wombe
of
the
earth
,
they
should
arriue
at
that
blessed
vndiscouered
country
,
where
is
no
mediocritie
of
ioy
,
no
end
of
pleasure
.
So
then
we
Christians
,
who
are
illuminated
with
the
bright
sunny
beames
of
Christs
Gospell
,
wil
reiect
such
Epicurian
opinions
of
godlesse
Atheists
,
who
belieue
there
is
no
resurrection
,
no
crowne
of
glorie
remaining
for
them
after
theyr
life
is
ended
:
but
S.
Paul
teacheth
vs
an
other
lesson
;
For
(
saith
he
)
if
the
dead
be
not
raised
,
then
is
Christ
not
risen
,
&
if
Christ
be
not
risen
,
them
our
fayth
is
in
vaine
.
And
in
another
place
;
If
in
this
life
we
haue
hope
onely
,
then
of
all
men
we
be
most
miserable
.
So
Iob
saide
,
when
hee
was
ouerwhelmed
with
a
sea
of
sorrowe
;
I
am
certaine
that
my
redeemer
liueth
,
and
that
I
shall
rise
out
of
the
earth
in
the
latter
day
,
and
that
I
shall
be
clothed
againe
with
this
skinne
,
and
see
GOD
in
my
flesh
,
yea
I
my selfe
shal
behold
him
,
not
with
other
,
but
with
these
same
eyes
.
This
poynt
of
religion
concerning
our
resurrection
,
the
very
Heathen
Writers
haue
approoued
,
for
thus
Cato
speaking
to
Scipio
&
Laelius
in
Ciceros
booke
De
senectute
,
saith
;
Doost
thou
thinke
that
I
would
haue
vndertaken
so
great
labors
both
by
day
and
night
,
both
at
home
,
and
at
the
warre
,
if
my
glory
should
haue
had
the
same
limits
which
my
life
hath
?
So
Plato
in
his
Booke
De
animae
immortalit
.
saith
,
That
the
soule
of
man
is
immortall
,
and
that
it
shall
liue
in
another
world
.
So
Socrates
when
he
did
drinke
the
venemous
poyson
,
with
which
he
should
breake
of
the
feeble
thred
of
mortalitie
,
said
:
I
am
sure
that
my
soule
shall
liue
,
and
that
my
body
shall
arise
in
the
second
neuer
dying
birth
.
But
why
doe
I
spend
my
time
in
a
matter
so
needlesse
to
be
confirmed
,
sith
the
scripture
(
the
oracles
of
wisdome
)
be
so
plentifull
of
proues
:
&
all
Writers
doe
defend
this
vndeniable
veritie
:
for
who
can
denie
,
but
that
there
is
a
resurrection
,
and
a
reward
reserued
for
them
,
which
die
in
the
Lord
:
if
that
this
life
were
the
only
Paradise
where
we
should
take
our
delights
,
who
would
not
desire
a
long
life
with
Methusalah
,
or
store
of
wealth
with
Salomon
,
or
honor
with
Haman
:
but
wee
that
knowe
this
earth
to
bee
nothing
else
but
an
element
of
sorrowe
,
this
world
to
be
but
a
Hydra
of
renewing
cares
,
will
not
place
our
eternall
affaires
,
and
treasures
of
heauen
vpon
the
gliding
streame
,
of
this
vncertaine
life
.
For
we
are
surely
perswaded
,
that
after
the
houre
glasse
of
this
momentary
life
is
runne
out
,
we
shall
be
imparadized
in
heauen
,
and
made
free
Denizers
in
that
celestiall
Ierusalem
,
whose
ioyes
and
praises
doe
superabound
all
inhumaine
inuention
to
comprehend
:
for
so
sayth
Saint
Gregorie
;
No
man
is
able
to
tell
how
great
,
the
ioyes
of
the
heauenly
Cittie
shall
be
.
Because
(
as
Saint
Bernard
sayth
)
the
dishes
of
the
heauenly
banquet
are
so
great
,
that
they
cannot
be
measured
,
so
long
that
they
cannot
be
limitted
,
so
many
that
they
cannot
be
numbred
,
and
so
precious
,
that
they
cannot
bee
esteemed
.
Yet
notwithstanding
,
that
those
ioyes
be
inestimable
,
and
innumerable
,
we
shall
be
certaine
to
inioy
them
,
after
this
life
is
finished
.
For
so
sayth
Saint
Paule
,
when
this
earthly
house
of
this
Tabernacle
is
destroyed
,
wee
knowe
wee
haue
a
building
giuen
of
God
,
that
is
,
an
house
not
made
with
hands
,
but
eternall
in
the
heauens
:
there
shall
wee
haue
ioyes
without
measure
,
pleasures
without
end
.
We
shall
(
sayth
Saint
Augustine
)
see
without
wearinesse
,
we
shall
loue
with-measure
,
and
shall
giue
praises
without
end
.
Then
shall
Dauid
tast
how
sweete
the
Lord
is
.
I
am
sure
(
sayth
hee
)
I
shall
see
the
goodnesse
of
the
Lord
in
the
land
of
the
liuing
.
These
ioyes
and
the
hope
of
the
fruition
of
that
blessed
future
life
,
doth
inbolden
and
harden
a
true
Christian
against
his
fatall
houre
,
willingly
,
and
ioyfully
to
leaue
this
world
,
(
which
is
valles
miseriae
,
as
Augustine
sayth
)
that
hee
may
see
the
new
Ierusalem
,
&
that
blessed
companie
of
Angells
,
whose
glory
,
whose
praises
,
whose
blessednesse
,
whose
delights
,
no
tongue
is
able
to
expresse
,
no
heart
to
conceiue
.
Yet
that
I
might
giue
you
a
tast
of
those
ioyes
,
and
as
it
were
a
shaddow
of
the
Sunne
shine
of
that
glory
,
which
we
shall
possesse
after
the
dissolution
of
our
earthly
bodies
,
I
will
recite
a
few
things
,
which
I
haue
reade
in
the
Scriptures
,
and
in
other
places
concerning
the
blessednesse
of
that
happie
life
:
for
the
ioyes
of
heauen
bee
the
onely
causes
which
doe
mooue
and
incite
vs
,
to
liue
godly
in
this
present
life
.
For
what
doth
make
the
laborer
to
worke
,
but
his
hire
:
The
husbandman
to
toyle
but
the
hope
of
a
good
haruest
.
The
Souldier
to
fight
but
the
hope
of
victory
,
and
of
obtaining
of
a
Garland
:
so
in
like
manner
,
what
doth
stirre
vp
mortall
men
to
liue
religiously
,
and
louingly
to
welcome
the
approach
of
death
,
but
only
the
confident
hope
of
that
hire
,
which
none
of
them
by
vertuall
merrits
shall
deserue
.
The
hope
of
that
good
haruest
,
wherein
they
shall
reape
all
contentment
of
minde
.
The
hope
of
that
wished
victory
and
precious
Garland
,
wherewith
they
shall
bee
adorned
and
florish
like
Angelis
.
These
bee
the
true
motiues
and
inducements
,
which
doe
giue
alacrity
and
bold
spirits
,
to
vndergoe
the
pangs
of
death
willinly
,
and
encourage
and
animate
all
timerous
and
fleshly
minded
persons
,
to
bee
delighted
,
and
theyr
eares
tickled
with
musick
in
the
daunce
of
death
,
when
they
shall
seriously
consider
,
they
shal
passe
from
death
to
life
,
from
mortalitie
to
immortality
,
from
miserie
to
ioy
,
from
pertill
to
securitie
,
from
bondage
to
libertie
,
from
aduersitie
to
prosperitie
,
and
in
fine
,
from
hell
and
damnation
,
to
blisle
and
saluation
.
Howbeit
,
that
I
may
giue
some
kind
of
sauour
and
feeling
knowledge
thereof
,
which
may
allure
fearefull
men
cheerefully
to
expect
,
and
patiently
to
suffer
the
Iayler
Death
to
lock
vp
the
windowes
of
the
prison
house
of
theyr
soules
,
I
intend
heere
to
rehearse
euen
worde
for
worde
,
what
S.
Augustine
saith
in
one
of
his
Meditations
,
namelie
,
the
22
meditation
,
speaking
of
the
felicitie
of
the
future
life
.
O
life
(
sayth
hee
)
prepared
by
almighty
God
for
his
friends
,
a
blessed
life
,
a
seeure
life
,
a
quiet
life
,
a
beautifull
,
a
cleane
life
,
a
chast
life
,
a
holy
life
,
a
life
that
knoweth
no
death
,
a
life
without
sadnes
,
without
labour
,
without
griefe
,
without
trouble
,
without
corruption
,
without
feare
,
without
varietie
,
without
alteration
,
a
life
replenished
with
all
beautie
,
and
dignitie
,
where
there
is
neither
enemie
that
can
offend
,
or
delight
that
can
annoy
,
where
loue
is
prefect
,
and
no
feare
at
all
,
where
the
day
is
euerlasting
,
&
the
spirit
of
all
is
one
,
where
almightie
God
is
seene
face
to
face
,
who
is
the
onely
meate
wherevpon
they
feede
without
any
loathsomnesse
.
It
delighteth
me
to
consider
thy
brightnesse
,
&
thy
treasures
do
reioyce
my
longing
hart
;
the
more
I
consider
thee
,
the
more
I
loue
thee
.
The
great
desire
I
haue
of
thee
,
doth
wonderfully
delight
mee
,
and
no
lesse
pleasure
is
it
vnto
mee
to
keepe
thee
in
my
remembrance
.
O
life
most
happy
:
O
Kingdome
truly
blessed
,
where
there
is
no
death
,
no
end
,
neither
yet
succession
of
time
,
where
the
day
continueth
euermore
without
night
,
knoweth
no
mutation
,
where
the
victorious
conquerour
,
beeing
ioyned
with
those
euerlasting
quieres
of
Angels
,
and
hauing
his
head
crowned
with
a
Garland
of
glory
,
singeth
vnto
almighty
godone
of
the
songes
of
Syon
.
O
happy
,
yea
&
most
happy
should
my
soule
bee
,
if
when
the
race
of
this
my
pilgrimage
is
ended
,
I
might
bee
worthy
to
see
thy
glory
,
thy
blessednes
,
thy
beautie
,
thy
walls
,
and
gates
of
thy
Citty
,
thy
streetes
,
thy
lodgings
,
thy
noble
Cittizens
,
and
thine
omnipotent
King
,
in
his
most
glorious
Maiestie
.
The
stones
of
thy
walls
,
are
precious
,
thy
gates
are
adorned
with
bright
pearles
,
thy
streetes
are
of
very
fine
gold
,
in
which
there
neuer
faile
perpetuall
praises
.
Thy
houses
are
paued
with
rich
stones
,
wrought
with
Zaphires
,
and
couered
aboue
with
massie
gold
:
where
none
entereth
that
is
not
cleane
,
neither
doth
any
abide
there
,
that
is
defiled
.
Faire
and
beautifull
in
thy
delights
,
art
thou
O
Ierusalem
our
mother
:
none
of
those
things
are
suffered
in
thee
,
that
are
suffered
heere
.
There
is
great
diuersitie
betweene
thy
things
,
and
the
things
that
we
doe
continually
see
in
this
miserable
life
.
In
thee
is
neuer
seene
darkenesse
,
nor
any
change
of
time
.
The
light
that
shineth
in
thee
,
commeth
neither
of
Iampes
,
nor
of
the
Moone
,
nor
yet
of
the
bright
glistering
Starres
.
But
God
that
proceedeth
of
God
,
and
the
light
that
commeth
of
light
,
is
he
that
gieueth
clearensse
vnto
thee
.
Euen
the
very
King
of
Kings
himselfe
,
keepeth
continuall
residence
in
the
midst
of
thee
,
compassed
about
with
his
officers
and
seruants
.
There
doe
the
Angels
in
their
orders
,
and
quiers
sing
a
most
sweete
and
melodious
Harmonie
:
There
is
celebrated
a
perpetuall
feast
,
with
euery
one
of
them
that
commeth
thether
,
after
his
departure
out
of
this
his
pilgrimage
.
There
be
the
orders
of
Prophets
;
there
is
the
famous
society
of
Apostles
:
there
is
the
inuicible
army
of
Martirs
;
there
is
the
most
reuerend
assembly
of
Confessors
,
there
be
the
true
religious
persons
.
There
are
the
holy
Virgines
,
which
haue
ouercome
the
pleasures
of
the
world
,
and
the
frailty
of
the
flesh
:
there
bee
the
young
men
&
women
,
more
auncient
in
vertue
,
then
in
yeares
:
there
are
the
sheepe
,
and
little
lambes
,
that
haue
escaped
from
the
wolues
,
and
from
the
deceitfull
snares
of
this
life
.
There
charity
raigneth
in
her
full
perfection
.
O
happy
were
I
,
yea
and
very
happy
indeede
,
if
at
what
time
I
shall
bee
loosed
out
of
the
prison
of
this
wretched
bodie
,
I
might
bee
thought
worthy
to
heare
those
songs
of
that
heauenly
melodie
,
sung
in
the
praises
of
the
euerlasting
King
,
by
all
the
Cittizens
of
that
so
noble
Citty
:
Happy
were
I
,
yea
and
very
happy
,
if
I
might
obtaine
a
roome
among
the
Chaplens
of
that
Chappell
,
and
waite
for
my
turne
also
to
sing
my
Alleluia
:
if
I
might
bee
neare
vnto
my
King
,
my
God
,
my
Lord
,
&
see
him
in
his
glory
,
euen
as
he
promised
mee
,
when
he
sayd
,
Iohn
,
17.
O
father
this
is
my
last
determinate
will
,
that
all
those
,
that
thou
hast
giuen
vnto
me
,
may
bee
with
mee
,
and
see
the
glory
which
I
had
with
thee
before
the
world
was
created
.
Hetherto
are
the
words
of
Saint
Augustine
:
Marke
also
I
pray
you
,
how
Saint
Iohn
describeth
in
his
reuelation
the
new
Ierusalem
,
xxi
.
And
I
Iohn
(
sayth
he
)
saw
a
new
heauen
,
and
a
new
earth
,
for
the
first
heauen
and
the
first
earth
were
passed
away
,
and
there
was
no
more
Sea
;
and
I
Iohn
saw
the
holy
Citty
new
Ierusalem
,
come
downe
from
God
out
of
heauen
,
prepared
as
a
bride
trimmed
for
her
husband
;
and
I
heard
a
great
voyce
out
of
heauen
saying
,
behold
,
the
Tabernacle
of
God
is
with
men
,
and
hee
will
dwell
with
them
,
and
they
shall
bee
his
people
,
and
God
himselfe
shall
bee
their
God
with
them
.
And
God
shall
wipe
away
all
teares
from
their
eyes
,
and
there
shal
be
no
more
death
,
neither
sorrowe
,
neither
crying
,
neither
shal
there
bee
any
more
paine
.
For
the
first
thinges
are
passed
:
and
there
came
vnto
mee
an
Angell
,
saying
,
come
,
I
will
show
thee
the
Bridegroome
the
lambs
wife
.
And
he
carried
me
away
to
an
hie
mountaine
,
and
showed
me
that
great
Cittie
,
that
holy
Ierusalem
,
discending
out
of
heauen
from
God
,
hauing
the
glory
of
God
,
and
her
shining
was
like
vnto
a
stone
most
precious
,
as
a
Iasper
stone
as
cleere
as
Christall
,
and
had
a
great
wall
and
hie
,
and
had
twelue
gates
,
and
at
the
gates
twelue
Angels
,
and
the
names
written
,
which
are
the
twelue
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israell
;
and
the
building
of
the
wall
of
it
was
of
Iasper
,
and
the
Citty
was
pure
gold
,
like
vnto
cleare
glasse
;
the
foundation
of
the
wall
of
the
Cittie
,
was
garnished
with
all
manner
of
precious
stones
;
and
the
twelue
Gates
were
twelue
pearles
,
and
euery
gate
is
of
one
pearle
,
and
the
streetes
of
the
Citty
is
pure
gold
,
as
shining
glasse
:
and
there
is
no
Temple
,
for
the
Lord
almighty
,
&
the
Lambe
are
the
Temple
of
it
.
There
is
the
pure
Riuer
of
water
of
life
,
cleare
as
Christall
proceeding
out
of
the
Throne
of
God
,
and
of
the
Lambe
.
There
is
the
tree
of
life
,
which
beare
twelue
manner
of
fruites
.
There
is
no
night
,
no
candle
,
or
light
of
the
Sun
,
for
the
Lord
God
giueth
them
light
,
and
they
shal
shine
for
euermore
.
Now
then
tell
me
(
ô
zealous
Christian
)
what
needest
thou
feare
death
,
sith
from
a
most
miserable
world
,
thou
shalt
passe
to
a
glorious
kingdome
,
from
miseries
to
euelasting
ioyes
,
from
labours
&
troubles
,
to
eternally
pleasures
and
delights
.
Will
not
the
hope
of
these
rewards
mooue
thee
to
welcome
Death
?
Then
heare
some
more
ioyes
,
which
thou
shalt
possesse
in
the
blessed
future
life
.
The
righteous
shall
shine
as
the
Sunne
in
the
kingdome
of
their
Father
;
They
shall
haue
the
inheritance
of
euerlasting
life
;
They
shall
be
as
the
Angels
of
heauen
;
they
shall
be
in
Abrahams
bosome
;
they
shal
be
where
Christ
is
,
and
see
his
glorie
.
The
Apostle
S.
Paul
saith
,
The
eye
hath
not
seene
,
the
eare
hath
not
heard
,
nor
hath
it
entered
into
the
hart
of
man
,
the
thinges
which
God
hath
prepared
for
them
which
loue
him
;
we
shall
be
with
the
Lord
,
and
liue
with
him
for
euer
;
wee
shall
be
vessels
vnto
honour
;
wee
shal
haue
the
crowne
of
righteousnes
;
we
shal
dwel
in
the
Citty
of
the
liuing
God
,
the
heauenly
Ierusalem
,
and
see
the
innumerable
company
of
Angels
.
When
Christ
our
chiefe
Shepheard
shal
appeare
(
saith
S.
Peter
)
we
shal
receiue
an
incorruptible
crowne
of
glory
;
and
S.
Iohn
in
his
Reuelation
saith
;
To
him
that
ouercommeth
.
I
will
giue
to
eate
of
the
Tree
of
life
,
which
is
in
the
midst
of
the
Paradice
of
almightie
GOD
;
The
righteous
shal
neither
hunger
nor
thirst
,
heate
nor
sunne
shall
not
hurt
them
:
for
he
that
fauoureth
them
,
shal
lead
them
,
and
giue
them
drinke
of
the
springing
wells
:
they
shal
eate
,
drinke
,
and
be
merry
for
very
quietnes
of
hart
:
yea
,
their
gladnes
and
theyr
ioy
shall
continue
for
euer
and
euer
.
The
wise
(
saith
Daniell
)
shall
glister
as
the
shining
of
heauen
,
and
be
like
the
starres
worlde
without
end
.
My
people
(
saith
God
)
shal
dwell
in
pleasant
peace
,
and
safe
holds
,
&
shal
haue
continuall
rest
without
disturbance
.
Therefore
when
the
Psalmograph
did
consider
the
excellent
things
that
are
spoken
of
the
Citty
of
God
,
and
of
the
great
Citty
holy
Ierusalem
,
he
cryed
out
,
O
how
amiable
are
thy
dwellings
(
thou
Lorde
of
Hosts
)
my
soule
hath
a
desire
&
longing
to
enter
into
the
Courts
of
the
Lord
.
My
hart
&
my
flesh
reioyce
in
the
liuing
God
:
for
who
can
be
delighted
with
the
kennell
of
this
life
,
when
he
shall
read
what
the
diuine
Egle
,
the
Egle
of
Diuines
hath
spoken
of
this
cittie
,
that
it
is
pure
golde
like
vnto
cleare
glasse
:
that
the
streets
are
pure
golde
as
shining
glasse
:
that
the
shining
is
like
vnto
a
stone
most
precious
,
as
a
Iasper
stone
,
cleere
as
Christall
:
that
the
foundations
of
the
wall
are
garnished
with
all
manner
of
precious
stones
:
that
the
twelue
gates
bee
12.
pearles
:
that
the
keepers
of
the
12.
gates
be
12.
Angels
:
that
the
light
is
the
gloty
of
God
,
&
the
lambe
:
that
the
temple
is
the
Lord
God
almightie
and
the
lambe
:
that
the
inhabitants
be
pure
,
and
that
no
vncleane
thing
entereth
therein
:
that
the
Records
be
the
booke
of
Life
:
that
the
water
is
a
water
of
Life
:
that
the
tree
is
a
tree
of
Life
:
and
of
the
mimunities
of
the
Cittizens
,
that
there
shall
be
no
more
curse
,
no
night
,
no
need
of
candle
,
nor
light
of
Sun
:
and
that
the
estate
of
the
Cittizens
is
this
,
that
they
shall
raigne
for
euermore
.
Oh
who
would
not
willingly
diue
into
the
whitlpoole
of
deuouring
Death
,
and
desire
that
the
twisted
feeble
threds
of
our
life
would
euery
houre
vntwine
,
so
that
we
might
be
receiued
into
this
heauenly
foeietie
,
after
the
ioyfull
diuorcement
of
Soule
&
bodie
.
Balaam
wished
,
that
his
soule
might
die
the
death
of
the
righteous
,
and
that
his
last
end
might
bee
like
vnto
theirs
:
&
the
Prophet
Dauid
wished
rather
to
bee
a
doore
keeper
in
the
house
of
God
,
then
to
dwell
in
the
tents
of
the
vngodly
;
one
day
in
thy
Courts
is
better
then
a
thousand
:
&
blessed
are
they
that
dwell
in
thy
house
,
they
will
alwaies
be
praysing
of
thee
.
These
ioyes
might
allure
vs
to
raise
our
thoughts
,
aboue
the
ordinarie
leuell
of
this
world
,
and
to
say
with
Poule
,
I
desire
to
be
loosed
from
this
body
of
sinne
,
and
to
bee
with
Christ
;
no
musicke
should
bee
so
sweete
vnto
our
eares
,
as
the
remembrance
of
death
;
for
death
is
our
faithful
conductor
to
this
Ierusalem
:
I
haue
oft
wondered
at
the
folly
of
our
nature
,
which
doe
so
abhorre
to
heare
the
mention
of
our
death
;
yea
euen
aged
men
whose
spring
was
past
,
whose
summer
spent
,
and
euen
arriued
at
the
fall
of
the
leafe
,
and
winter
cullours
had
stayned
their
hoary
head
,
whose
tired
ship
did
beginne
to
leake
and
grate
vppon
the
grauell
of
their
graue
,
yet
how
timerously
they
were
amazed
,
when
they
perceiued
,
that
the
trumpet
of
death
beganne
to
giue
his
last
sound
.
O
foolish
imbecillitie
,
who
would
not
willingly
bee
luiled
in
deaths
slumbering
fits
,
and
close
vp
the
day
of
his
life
,
that
from
a
mortall
day
hee
may
come
to
an
euerlasting
morrow
.
It
is
they
will
say
themselues
,
the
greatest
delight
and
pleasure
in
this
world
,
to
heare
the
Nightingales
recount
their
tunes
with
daintie
variety
:
to
see
Valleis
compassed
about
with
siluer
Riuers
.
To
see
medowes
enameled
with
eye
pleasing
flowers
;
to
see
Gardens
bedecked
with
roses
and
lillies
,
and
pleasant
shades
.
Or
to
heare
the
Lambs
craue
their
Dams
comfort
,
with
their
bleting
oratorie
,
yet
these
be
trifles
:
from
heauen
you
shall
heare
the
Angells
singing
Alleluia
,
which
will
surpasse
the
musicke
of
Nightingalls
:
there
is
the
Eden
of
content
:
the
Paradise
of
pleasure
.
Will
you
haue
pastures
to
pastime
in
:
Marke
what
Saint
Gregorie
saith
,
pasma
electorum
sunt
vultus
Dei
,
vbi
erit
perpetua
latitia
et
securitas
:
Dost
thou
delight
in
shepheard
&
Lambs
?
there
is
our
watchfull
shepheard
Christ
,
&
there
is
the
Lambe
of
God
,
crauing
day
and
night
for
the
comfort
of
our
soules
:
yet
I
will
saile
a
little
further
into
the
broad
Sea
of
these
celestiall
ioyes
.
It
will
bee
no
small
ioye
vnto
vs
,
when
our
soules
shall
bee
presented
before
the
Throne
of
the
most
blessed
Trinitie
,
by
the
hands
of
the
Angells
,
and
they
placing
them
before
the
Tribunall
seate
of
almightie
God
,
shall
declare
our
good
workes
,
our
almes
deedes
,
our
prayers
,
our
fastings
,
our
innocencie
of
life
,
our
temperance
in
diet
,
our
crosses
,
our
tribulations
,
torments
,
iniuries
,
and
afflictions
we
haue
suffered
for
Gods
sake
.
Saint
Luke
writeth
that
when
holy
Tabitha
,
the
great
almes
giuer
was
dead
,
all
the
widdowes
and
poore
people
came
about
the
Apostle
Saint
Peter
,
showing
him
the
coates
,
and
garments
she
had
giuen
them
,
wherewith
the
Apostle
being
mooued
,
made
his
prayer
to
almightie
God
,
for
that
so
mercifull
a
woman
,
and
by
his
prayers
he
raised
her
againe
to
life
.
Now
what
a
ioy
and
gladnesse
will
it
be
to
vs
,
when
the
Angells
shall
rehearse
our
vertues
,
and
good
deedes
,
which
wee
haue
performed
in
our
lise
.
Then
shall
wee
fully
perceiue
the
value
of
vertue
;
there
the
obedient
man
shall
talke
of
victories
;
there
shall
the
Kings
come
loaden
with
the
spoiles
of
honor
.
There
shall
the
valiant
men
enter
with
triumphe
,
which
haue
conquered
sathan
and
all
his
deuises
.
There
shall
the
innocent
Virgines
enter
,
which
haue
liued
chastly
in
the
world
,
adorned
with
Garlands
of
Lillies
and
Roses
;
There
shall
the
whole
Court
of
heauen
imbrace
with
kisses
religious
bishops
,
which
haue
beene
watchfull
shepheards
ouer
the
whole
flocke
of
Christ
:
There
shal
the
constant
Martirs
bee
receiued
,
which
haue
suffered
martirdome
for
the
Gospell
;
There
shal
the
aged
men
enter
,
which
haue
with
discretion
and
wisedome
passed
their
daies
on
earth
;
There
shall
the
vertuous
young
men
receiue
there
reward
:
There
vertue
shal
be
honored
according
to
her
merrit
.
Oh
how
sweete
and
sauorie
shall
the
fruite
of
vertue
then
bee
.
Sweet
is
the
fountaine
to
the
weary
traueller
,
sweete
is
rest
to
the
tyred
seruaunt
,
sweet
is
the
cold
euening
after
a
hote
sunny
day
;
yet
much
more
sweeter
will
it
be
to
the
faithfull
seruaunts
of
almightie
GOD
,
and
Saints
of
the
heauenly
Cittie
,
to
haue
peace
after
warre
,
continuall
quietnesse
after
paynes
,
ioy
after
trouble
,
securitie
after
danger
.
Then
shal
not
the
children
of
Israel
neede
to
feare
Pharao
.
Then
Mardocheus
neede
not
feare
proude
ambitious
Haman
.
Then
Iosephs
feete
shal
not
be
pinched
and
hurt
in
the
stocks
.
Then
the
Widdowe
of
Sarepta
may
cast
away
her
cruse
and
her
meale
,
for
shee
shal
be
satisfied
with
heauenly
manna
.
Then
may
the
blessed
Father
Saint
Ierome
take
his
rest
,
who
in
his
watchings
made
no
difference
betweene
dayes
and
nights
,
beating
his
breast
in
his
deuour
prayers
,
and
fighting
against
the
violence
of
the
old
serpent
.
Then
Ieremy
need
not
renew
his
tragicall
note
in
his
prophecie
,
saying
;
O
that
my
head
were
a
well
of
water
,
and
my
eye-lidds
fountaines
of
teares
,
that
I
might
weepe
day
&
night
for
the
slaine
of
the
Dangliters
of
my
people
.
Then
may
the
stout
harted
Souldiers
lay
downe
theyr
swords
and
spears
,
for
there
is
a
region
of
peace
,
and
a
place
of
tranquilitie
:
for
euery
one
in
that
Cittie
,
enioy
the
fruite
of
sweet
peace
.
That
Citty
is
situated
aboue
all
the
Elements
,
where
no
cloudes
can
arise
,
no
stormy
winds
can
blow
,
no
tempetuous
waues
can
come
.
There
is
the
lambe
of
God
Christ
Iesus
,
embracing
his
deere
spouse
the
Church
,
saying
,
My
sister
,
my
spouse
,
how
fayre
&
how
pleasant
art
thou
,
ô
my
Loue
in
pleasures
:
thy
lippes
(
my
spouse
)
drop
as
honny
combes
.
Hony
and
milke
is
vnder
thy
tongue
:
my
spouse
is
as
a
Garden
enclosed
with
Roses
and
Lillies
,
ô
Paradise
of
Gardens
,
ô
well
of
liuing
waters
,
ô
my
wel-beloued
,
thou
art
the
fairest
among
women
.
O
ioyfull
time
,
when
we
shall
see
face
to
face
Christ
Iesus
,
and
heare
the
sweet
communication
betweene
him
and
the
Church
his
beloued
Spouse
.
Blessed
are
they
(
saith
holy
Tobias
)
that
loue
thee
,
and
enioy
thy
peace
.
Wherefore
Bernard
might
well
say
,
If
any
man
should
tast
in
his
heart
,
howe
great
the
pleasantnesse
of
the
heauenly
reward
is
,
then
euery
thing
in
the
earth
will
seeme
bitter
,
euerie
comly
thing
shamefull
,
and
all
ioy
sorrowfulnes
.
Also
in
another
place
he
saith
,
In
comparison
of
heauenly
ioy
,
all
pleasure
is
griefe
,
all
delights
sorrow
,
all
sweetnes
bitternesse
,
and
all
honor
horriblenesse
.
Wherfore
I
will
exhort
all
godly
Christians
,
with
the
graue
sentence
of
blessed
S.
Augustine
,
where
he
saith
,
O
man
be
feruent
in
the
loue
&
desire
of
Eternall
life
,
where
euery
action
is
without
labor
,
rest
without
idlenes
,
praise
without
disdaine
,
life
without
defect
;
where
there
is
no
want
,
but
all
superfluitie
,
where
there
is
no
good
hidden
,
and
no
euill
present
.
Oh
into
what
an
Ocean
of
ioyes
my
ioyfull
tongue
leades
me
,
my
eyes
waxe
dim
at
the
sunne-shine
of
this
glory
,
my
penne
begins
to
tyre
,
and
yet
I
will
not
like
a
badde
Historian
,
speake
of
the
meanest
ioyet
,
and
cut
of
the
course
of
the
greatest
happinesse
.
Therefore
my
tongue
,
mine
eyes
,
my
penne
,
each
of
them
shall
sing
a
part
to
make
vp
the
harmonie
of
this
excessiue
felicitie
.
It
is
an
vnspeakable
pleasure
to
a
christian
when
he
shall
arriue
at
this
blessed
hauen
,
&
shall
turne
back
,
and
looke
vpon
the
course
of
his
nauigation
,
wherein
he
hath
sailed
in
the
tempestuous
sea
of
his
former
life
:
when
he
shall
remember
the
waues
where-with
hee
hath
been
tossed
,
the
rocks
which
he
hath
escaped
,
the
Pyrats
,
(
namely
the
deuill
and
his
Angels
)
whom
hee
hath
happily
auoyded
.
When
he
shal
consider
this
transitory
world
to
be
but
a
dungeon
of
sinners
,
where
the
growth
of
Vertue
is
poysoned
with
the
puddle
water
of
penurie
,
where
rancor
&
despight
chiefely
raigneth
,
and
all
goodnes
is
ouer-whelmed
in
malice
,
where
vertue
is
a
handmaide
to
sugred
hypocrisie
,
smooth
malice
,
hidden
ambition
,
smiling
enuie
,
wicked
tyranny
.
Besides
,
when
he
shall
behold
so
many
thousand
soules
descending
into
hell
,
and
that
it
hath
pleased
the
omnipotent
King
,
among
so
many
millions
of
damned
persons
,
thou
shalt
be
one
of
that
predestinated
companie
,
which
should
obtaine
such
vnexpressable
felicitie
and
glory
.
Yea
what
a
glorious
sight
will
it
bee
to
thee
,
to
see
so
many
persons
hauing
on
their
heads
golden
Crownes
,
and
to
see
the
Kingly
seats
of
heauen
filled
vp
,
and
that
Citty
builded
,
and
the
noble
Ierusalem
repayred
againe
.
Yea
what
a
ioy
will
it
bee
to
thee
,
to
see
Archangells
,
Angells
,
the
soules
of
Saints
,
the
companie
of
Martirs
,
the
Sunne
,
the
Moone
,
the
glistering
Starres
,
and
all
other
things
,
each
one
of
them
in
their
course
and
qualitie
,
showe
themselues
obedient
to
his
will
,
giuing
veneration
,
glory
,
and
praise
,
singing
this
sweete
song
,
praise
,
and
honor
,
and
power
,
and
glory
bee
vnto
him
,
that
sitteth
vppon
the
Throne
,
and
vnto
the
Lambe
for
euermore
.
Is
not
this
a
glorious
companie
?
a
ioyfull
countrey
;
a
happy
life
;
who
shall
be
these
so
fortunate
,
and
so
happy
,
that
are
elected
for
thee
.
Happy
shall
I
be
,
if
the
remnant
of
my
posteritie
,
might
come
to
see
the
clearenes
of
this
Ierusalem
.
To
behold
her
gates
wrought
with
Emeraldes
,
and
Zaphires
,
and
all
the
circuit
of
her
walls
built
with
precious
stones
,
her
streetes
paued
with
polished
marble
,
and
in
all
her
parts
shall
be
sung
Alleluia
.
It
seemeth
a
presumption
to
desire
thee
,
and
yet
I
will
not
liue
without
the
desire
of
thee
,
for
by
the
grace
of
God
,
(
which
grace
I
hope
in
Christ
shall
more
and
more
daily
abound
in
mee
)
I
purpose
to
refuse
no
labours
,
paines
,
and
trauels
,
so
that
at
the
end
of
my
naturall
life
my
soule
may
rest
with
my
Redeemer
.
Let
tribulations
afflict
me
:
let
diseases
molest
mee
;
let
my
daies
be
consumed
with
weeping
,
and
teares
alwaies
runne
downe
by
my
cheekes
;
let
mee
alwaies
drinke
the
bitter
wormewoode
water
of
aduersitie
;
let
lamentation
and
mourning
alwaies
accompanie
me
:
let
me
be
persecuted
with
captiuitie
.
Nay
let
my
head
be
cut
off
with
Iohn
Baptist
,
or
let
mee
be
stoned
to
death
with
Stephen
:
yea
let
my
eies
be
pulled
out
of
my
head
,
or
my
flesh
be
torced
with
pincers
;
let
vexations
poure
downe
as
thicke
as
haile
,
so
that
all
that
passe
by
may
behold
and
see
:
if
there
bee
any
sorrowe
like
vnto
my
sorrowe
.
Yet
all
these
griefes
would
I
willingly
sustaine
,
if
it
would
please
my
God
,
that
when
pal●
death
shall
shut
vp
the
eies
of
my
body
,
that
my
eies
of
my
soule
might
still
behold
,
and
looke
vpon
my
Red
emer
.
And
that
when
I
shall
bee
stripped
out
of
this
mortall
weede
,
and
turned
both
out
of
the
seruice
,
and
houseroome
of
this
world
,
yet
at
last
I
may
arriue
at
that
blessed
Hauen
,
the
celestiall
Ierusalem
,
there
to
be
placed
among
the
glorious
company
of
the
holy
Angells
and
Saints
,
&
receiue
an
immortall
&
incorruptible
crowne
of
glory
.
For
what
will
it
grieue
a
man
,
to
haue
a
troublesome-night
,
so
that
ioy
commeth
in
the
morning
.
The
Mariner
will
not
regard
a
short
tempest
,
so
that
presently
after
the
storm
,
there
followeth
a
quiet
calme
:
euen
so
should
it
seeme
to
vs
.
Although
for
a
short
season
we
suffer
sorrowe
in
this
world
,
yet
for
that
short
sorrowe
wee
shall
reape
euerlasting
ioy
.
Therefore
let
vs
constantly
endure
to
the
end
of
our
sorrowes
,
for
he
that
endureth
to
the
end
,
shall
be
saued
.
Would
we
not
esteeme
him
a
foolish
man
,
who
would
refuse
to
suffer
patiently
the
tortures
of
one
moment
,
so
that
after
,
hee
should
inioy
perpetuall
happinesse
.
Well
saith
S.
Augustine
,
So
great
is
the
fairenes
,
and
pleasure
of
Eternall
light
,
that
if
one
might
not
liue
there
longer
then
one
day
,
for
thys
onely
,
innumerable
yeeres
full
of
the
delights
of
this
life
,
and
aboundance
of
temporall
goods
,
he
might
rightly
&
worthily
be
contented
.
For
in
heauen
,
we
shal
haue
light
without
end
,
brightnesse
without
comprehension
,
peace
without
inuasion
.
In
this
world
our
sences
are
benummed
,
&
frozen
with
the
extremitie
of
miseries
coldnesse
,
but
in
heauen
there
shal
such
vnexpected
blisse
shine
vppon
vs
,
that
all
the
parts
of
our
body
and
soule
shal
be
miraculously
cherished
with
the
lightning
of
selicitie
.
In
this
world
,
if
the
whole
worthinesse
of
all
humane
creatures
were
comprised
in
the
globe
of
one
mans
breast
,
yet
were
not
that
one
man
so
happy
,
as
the
least
Saint
in
Heauen
.
In
this
world
wee
are
but
as
it
were
ships
without
a
Pylot
,
tumbling
vp
and
downe
in
vncertaine
waues
,
till
we
runne
vpon
the
rocks
of
selfe
deuision
,
or
bee
ouerthrowne
by
the
stormie
winde
of
forraine
inuasion
:
In
this
World
we
are
but
as
it
were
tenisbals
,
tossed
by
the
racked
of
iniurious
fortune
,
but
in
heauen
we
need
not
feare
the
tempests
of
aduersitie
,
for
there
wee
shall
dwell
with
Saints
vnited
in
perfection
;
there
we
shall
tast
the
golden
fruite
of
blessed
soules
:
there
wee
shal
haue
Christ
a
guide
vnto
our
waies
,
and
a
Gardian
to
our
persons
;
there
Christ
shall
be
light
vnto
our
eyes
,
musick
vnto
our
eares
,
sweetnes
to
our
tast
,
contentment
to
our
soules
.
The
state
of
the
Church
militant
,
heere
in
this
world
,
is
like
the
Arke
floting
vpon
waters
,
like
a
lilly
growing
among
thornes
,
like
Christs
ship
in
the
8
of
Mathew
,
couered
with
waues
,
and
yet
not
drowned
:
But
in
the
second
worlde
it
shall
be
triumphant
,
where
it
shal
gloriously
raigne
for
euermore
.
Man
in
this
world
is
but
an
Anatomy
of
misery
,
or
a
spectacle
of
a
dolorous
ending
tragedie
,
but
in
the
world
to
come
,
he
shall
be
a
paragon
of
glory
,
and
a
patterne
of
endlesse
happinesse
.
Therefore
,
sith
the
reward
of
our
godly
endeuours
,
shal
be
so
well
recompenced
in
the
future
life
,
let
vs
abandon
all
vicious
pleasures
,
&
neuer
be
recalled
to
the
vomit
of
carnall
desires
:
Let
vs
fight
manfully
vnder
the
banner
of
our
grand
captaine
Christ
,
vntill
we
vanquish
all
his
enemies
,
the
denill
&
his
angels
:
and
for
that
good
seruice
performed
in
Christes
quarrell
,
we
shall
receiue
at
his
handes
a
large
pay
,
namely
,
an
euerlasting
life
,
and
an
immortall
crowne
of
glory
.
Now
therefore
,
sith
I
haue
(
as
it
were
)
lighted
a
candle
to
the
glorious
sun-shine
of
this
heauenly
glorie
.
which
cannot
any
way
be
better
shadowed
out
,
with
the
best
pensil
,
then
by
couering
it
ouer
with
the
vaile
of
silence
,
I
will
speake
but
verie
little
more
concerning
this
happines
,
but
will
onely
compare
the
torments
of
hell
to
the
ioyes
of
heauen
.
For
as
beautie
seemes
more
excellent
,
when
it
is
paralelled
with
deformitie
,
so
wil
heauen
show
more
glorious
when
it
is
compared
to
hell
.
For
as
it
is
an
axiome
with
the
Logicians
,
Of
contrarie
things
the
reason
is
contrarie
:
so
in
this
contrarietie
in
heauen
,
and
in
hell
,
hee
which
doth
perceiue
the
ioyes
in
heauen
,
may
easily
coniecture
at
the
torments
in
hell
.
If
the
ioyes
in
heauen
cannot
bee
expressed
by
the
tongues
of
Angells
,
then
the
torments
of
hell
cannot
be
declared
by
the
best
Orator
.
For
as
those
two
places
be
distant
in
qualitie
,
so
their
ioyes
and
paines
be
equall
in
quantitie
.
If
that
the
ioyes
of
heauen
be
infinite
,
the
paines
of
hel
must
consequently
followe
to
be
infinite
.
Now
then
,
sith
these
two
opposite
places
bee
distinguished
with
such
a
contrarietie
,
the
ioyes
of
the
one
euery
man
would
gladly
enioy
,
the
paines
of
the
other
,
euery
man
would
willingly
eschewe
,
it
followeth
that
this
is
the
greatest
impediment
for
a
man
,
not
willingly
to
welcome
death
,
because
he
is
wonderfully
afraid
,
least
he
should
bee
punnished
for
his
sinnes
in
these
hellish
torments
:
these
torments
doe
ingender
such
a
feare
in
a
man
,
that
hee
horridly
quaketh
at
the
mention
of
death
.
For
when
a
man
shall
recount
with
himselfe
that
he
offered
the
May
crop
of
his
life
to
the
deuill
,
that
hee
sacrificed
his
blooming
yeares
to
the
seruice
of
the
deuill
,
and
that
now
the
flowers
of
his
youth
are
blasted
,
the
fruite
perrish
,
the
body
of
the
Tree
groweth
to
decay
,
then
hee
shall
thinke
with
himselfe
,
that
hee
being
voyde
of
the
sap
of
good
fruites
,
shall
become
fuell
for
hell
fire
.
When
he
shall
lie
on
his
departing
bed
,
burdened
with
the
heauy
loade
of
his
trespasses
,
and
vexed
with
the
worme
of
conscience
,
and
feeling
the
crampe
of
death
wresting
his
harts
strings
,
and
ready
inpathed
in
his
finally
voyage
,
and
not
farre
from
the
period
of
his
daies
.
Oh
how
hee
shall
be
distracted
in
his
senses
,
when
he
should
make
a
free
gift
of
his
body
and
soule
to
God
,
and
by
bequeathment
to
dispach
the
whole
menage
of
all
eternitie
,
and
of
the
treasures
of
heauen
:
Oh
how
shall
he
bee
mazed
,
when
he
shall
consider
,
how
the
morning
pleasures
of
his
youth
lulled
him
a
sleepe
in
sinne
,
how
the
violent
heat
of
the
noone
of
his
age
did
prouoke
and
excite
sinfull
affections
,
and
therefore
in
the
coole
and
calme
of
his
euening
,
how
can
hee
hope
to
retire
to
a
Christian
rest
,
and
close
vp
the
day
of
his
life
with
a
cleare
sunset
,
wanting
the
light
of
grace
,
without
which
euery
one
shall
abide
in
euerlasting
darkenesse
.
These
considerations
I
say
,
will
make
a
man
tremble
at
the
mention
of
death
:
for
peccati
stipendium
mors
,
the
reward
of
sinne
is
death
,
and
these
torments
in
hell
fire
;
therefore
when
hee
shall
thinke
with
himselfe
,
that
the
most
vertuous
,
can
scarce
attaine
to
heauen
in
mountenance
of
yeares
,
whose
liues
were
died
in
the
beautifull
graine
of
vertue
,
how
then
shall
hee
wretched
sinner
hope
to
obtaine
heauen
,
since
all
his
life
time
hee
hath
perseuered
in
sinne
,
&
that
now
death
hauing
taken
away
abilitie
in
sinning
,
and
left
him
to
the
lees
of
his
dying
daies
,
how
shall
he
beleiue
to
be
infranchised
in
that
heauenly
Citty
,
which
is
not
so
penurious
of
friends
,
that
it
should
bee
made
salable
for
the
refuse
and
reuersion
of
euery
sinners
life
.
A
King
which
hath
liued
like
an
Epicure
heere
vppon
earth
,
and
in
nothing
tooke
delight
,
but
like
a
Nero
to
oppresse
the
innocent
;
shall
not
inioy
the
heauenly
happinesse
.
(
For
as
Bernard
saith
)
It
is
impossible
to
ioyne
present
,
and
future
delights
.
And
as
the
same
father
in
another
place
addeth
.
He
that
is
fed
with
earthly
pleasures
,
is
counted
vnworthy
of
eternall
ioyes
;
The
shining
title
of
worldly
glory
,
shall
nothing
helpe
to
the
happines
of
that
life
:
they
be
like
bladders
which
are
puffed
vp
with
the
winde
of
prosperitie
,
and
only
doe
affect
the
smoke
of
vaine
glory
;
they
doe
not
obserue
the
precept
,
giuen
by
Moses
vnto
Princes
,
Princes
must
reade
the
Lawe
all
the
daies
of
their
liues
,
and
as
Iosua
,
let
not
the
booke
of
this
Lawe
depart
out
of
thy
mouth
,
but
record
therein
day
and
night
.
Their
Lawes
should
be
axioms
,
arising
out
of
their
owne
deedes
,
but
they
themselues
are
the
readiest
to
infring
the
same
.
Now
then
when
the
lease
of
the
liues
of
these
Stewards
,
who
hold
all
their
possessions
by
seruice
,
is
expired
,
and
shall
be
summoned
by
death
,
to
appeare
before
their
Land-lord
to
giue
there
accounts
,
how
beneficially
they
haue
imployed
their
talents
,
then
they
will
beginne
to
haue
a
feeling
sense
of
there
owne
miserie
,
seeing
how
ill
they
did
gouerne
the
people
,
ouer
the
which
the
Lord
had
made
them
ouerseers
.
We
reade
that
Dauid
being
chosen
of
God
,
to
feede
his
people
in
Iacob
,
and
his
in
heritance
in
Israell
,
did
feede
them
according
to
the
simplicity
of
his
hart
,
and
guided
thee
by
the
discretion
of
his
handes
.
These
Dauids
be
few
now
adaies
;
and
as
the
Poeth
saith
,
Rex
bonus
est
sapiens
,
qualem
vix
repperit
vnum
,
Mellibus
e
cunctis
hominum
consultus
Apollo
.
A
good
King
and
wise
,
such
a
one
as
Apollo
,
beeing
asked
counsell
of
,
coulde
scarce
finde
one
among
all
men
.
Yet
thanks
be
giuen
to
God
,
who
by
his
blessed
prouidence
hath
elected
a
second
Dauid
to
raigne
ouer
vs
,
whose
loynes
are
girded
with
righteousnesse
,
and
faithfulnesse
the
buckle
of
his
raines
:
in
whose
throne
Astraea
sits
weying
euery
mans
merrits
by
the
equall
ballance
of
their
actions
,
whose
minde
is
inuironed
against
vice
,
with
the
cleere
streames
of
sweet
vertue
.
And
therefore
,
sith
it
hath
pleased
God
to
set
a
temporal
&
transitory
crowne
of
glorie
on
his
head
,
he
needs
not
feare
,
but
that
in
the
world
to
come
,
he
shall
be
crowned
with
a
farre
surpassing
weight
of
glorie
,
&
there
shall
tast
the
heauenly
Manna
,
and
drinke
the
nectar
of
ioy
:
But
as
for
other
Princes
,
who
heere
doe
tast
the
Roses
of
prosperitie
,
shal
in
the
world
to
come
,
for
their
wickednesse
drinke
the
worme-wood
of
aduersitie
:
when
they
shall
recount
with
themselues
,
that
they
haue
touched
the
Lords
annointed
,
and
done
his
Prophets
harme
,
iniured
the
fatherlesse
,
oppressed
the
innocent
,
prophaned
the
sanctuary
of
God
,
&
onely
delighted
themselues
with
the
vaine
pompe
of
this
world
,
how
can
they
hope
that
their
impure
soules
shoulde
bee
translated
to
this
pure
place
of
endlesse
comfort
?
So
likewise
to
descend
lower
by
a
lineall
degree
,
throughout
all
the
pedigrees
of
men
.
Behold
the
Ministerie
,
who
haue
the
ouer-sight
of
our
soules
,
see
if
they
can
boldly
run
vnto
the
goale
of
death
,
who
haue
not
ledde
theyr
liues
according
to
their
inioyned
vocations
.
The
Ministers
,
which
should
haue
two
eyes
,
(
as
Gregory
saith
)
one
of
famous
learning
,
the
other
of
an
vpright
&
godly
life
;
many
of
them
haue
one
of
these
eyes
,
but
want
the
other
.
And
as
the
same
Gregory
saith
,
Many
declare
that
in
wordes
,
which
in
life
and
manners
they
goe
against
.
These
haue
the
eye
of
learning
,
but
want
the
eye
of
honest
life
.
Yea
manie
are
blinde
of
both
eyes
,
but
they
be
worse
then
the
former
:
For
the
Ministers
should
by
their
endeuours
and
honest
conuersation
,
reclaime
the
wicked
from
the
brink
of
perdition
,
they
should
inuent
medicinable
receits
against
the
gostly
maladies
of
sinners
:
they
should
in
the
generall
famine
of
spirituall
foode
,
prepare
with
Ioseph
abundance
of
the
breade
of
Angels
,
for
the
repast
of
theyr
soules
.
Yea
,
they
should
studie
spirituall
Phisicke
,
and
be
trauelled
in
the
scrutinie
of
the
soules
diseases
,
and
be
acquainted
with
the
beating
and
temper
of
euery
mans
pulse
:
they
should
purge
theyr
flock
from
the
leaprosie
of
sinne
;
they
should
lift
vp
theyr
voyce
like
a
trumpet
,
and
shewe
the
people
their
offences
,
and
the
house
of
Iacob
theyr
sinnes
.
They
are
the
Prophets
of
the
Lord
,
that
shal
bring
the
messages
from
the
Mountaines
,
and
proclaime
peace
.
They
be
the
light
of
the
Worlde
,
the
salt
of
the
earth
;
they
be
watch-men
,
which
for
Sions
sake
should
not
holde
theyr
tongues
,
&
for
Ierusalems
sake
should
not
cease
.
Nowe
when
they
shall
remember
that
they
haue
beene
dumbe
dogges
,
which
did
not
bark
,
when
the
wolues
did
teare
their
flocks
.
And
as
Gregory
saith
,
Thou
hast
seene
the
wolfe
and
hast
escaped
,
saying
,
by
chance
I
haue
escaped
all
:
Thou
hast
escaped
because
thou
hast
kept
silence
:
Thou
hast
been
heere
in
body
,
thou
hast
escaped
in
spirit
.
Or
as
Saint
Bernard
saith
,
when
they
shall
remember
,
they
were
Ministri
Christi
,
sed
serni
anti
Christi
,
or
call
to
mind
the
straight
commandement
giuen
by
christ
to
Peter
,
to
feede
Christes
flocke
,
and
they
haue
been
rather
wolues
than
shepheards
,
which
did
rather
fleece
and
oppresse
them
,
then
protect
them
:
when
they
did
imitate
,
Souldiers
in
habit
,
husbandmen
in
gaine
,
indeede
they
were
neither
,
because
they
did
neither
fight
against
the
Wolues
as
Souldiers
,
nor
as
husbandmen
labour
in
Gods
Vineyarde
,
nor
as
Clarkes
preach
the
Gospell
in
the
Church
,
and
while
they
desire
both
,
they
confound
both
.
As
Bernard
saith
:
therefore
their
consciences
will
be
perplixed
,
their
mindes
distracted
,
nor
shall
they
perceiue
,
the
melodious
harmonie
of
excusing
thoughts
,
or
perswade
themselues
of
that
comfortable
assurance
,
that
the
opening
of
the
booke
will
showe
,
that
their
names
are
written
in
heauen
,
or
shall
they
tast
that
continuall
feast
,
of
a
cleere
conscience
,
the
soules
blessed
banquet
;
they
shall
wring
their
hands
for
griefe
,
when
they
might
haue
clapt
for
ioy
,
they
shall
tremble
,
when
they
might
haue
triumph●d
,
they
shall
weepe
,
when
they
might
haue
laught
,
they
shall
wish
that
the
Mountaines
would
couer
them
,
&
hide
them
from
the
sight
of
God
:
and
these
bee
the
causes
,
why
so
vnwillingly
they
yeeld
to
dy
,
yea
euen
when
their
forces
languish
,
their
senses
impaire
,
their
body
droupeth
,
and
on
euery
side
the
ruinous
cottage
,
of
their
fraile
body
threatneth
a
fall
,
yea
when
they
may
behold
their
grasse
wasted
,
their
grapes
gathered
,
their
house
broken
,
and
nothing
remaining
but
the
stocke
of
the
grapes
,
the
skinne
of
the
flesh
,
and
but
one
only
blast
of
life
,
yet
notwithstanding
they
will
say
with
Callimachus
,
I
am
too
old
to
liue
,
and
too
young
to
die
;
and
they
are
afraid
to
close
vp
their
eies
,
when
they
heare
the
Bell
of
death
knelling
in
their
eares
:
but
had
rather
fight
still
in
this
Campe
of
miserie
,
then
by
deaths
paspot
,
to
bee
conducted
out
of
this
world
.
They
had
rather
with
Aristippus
prolong
life
,
then
with
Socrates
yield
to
die
;
and
the
causes
bee
these
,
because
they
haue
not
beene
carefull
in
their
functions
,
but
haue
beene
carelesse
in
their
liues
,
dissolute
in
their
actions
:
they
were
not
the
instruments
of
God
,
hauing
a
sound
to
teach
well
,
but
the
bones
of
the
deuill
,
because
they
did
want
the
feeling
:
and
therefore
they
hauing
deuoted
their
liues
,
only
to
the
deuill
,
their
conscience
doe
assure
them
,
that
they
hauing
gorged
the
deuill
,
with
the
fairest
fruites
of
their
liues
,
God
will
not
feede
vppon
the
scrappes
of
his
leauings
,
&
gleane
the
reproofe
of
his
haruest
,
and
therefore
they
bee
vnwilling
to
depart
out
of
this
life
.
But
to
passe
ouer
the
spirituall
gouernors
,
and
come
to
ciuell
Magistrates
:
The
Lawyers
they
make
the
lawes
and
statutes
limetwiggs
,
to
catch
the
simple
,
which
should
bee
as
it
were
Sea-markes
to
auoyde
shipwracke
,
for
ignorant
passengers
;
they
studdie
for
to
inuent
,
pollicie
,
how
to
palliate
committed
disorders
.
The
Iudges
imitate
Samuels
songs
,
which
did
not
walke
in
their
fathers
waies
,
but
tooke
bribes
and
rewards
to
peruert
right
.
The
widdowes
complaine
,
the
Orphans
are
wronged
,
the
poore
are
not
regarded
.
And
(
as
Isidorus
saith
)
through
the
loue
of
desire
,
lawes
are
of
no
force
,
hee
that
hath
to
giue
,
hath
also
to
gouerne
.
And
(
as
Saint
Augustine
saith
)
a
fat
Hen
doth
more
preuaile
with
Iudges
then
iustice
,
and
money
more
then
innocencie
.
They
will
not
regard
any
plea
,
vnlesse
the
euidence
containes
golden
eloquence
.
But
there
is
another
commaundement
giuen
them
in
Deutronomie
,
Wrest
not
the
law
,
nor
know
any
person
,
neither
take
any
rewards
,
for
giftes
,
blind
the
wise
,
and
peruert
the
words
of
the
righteous
:
&
as
there
is
a
common
axiom
among
the
Canonists
,
Ni
nire
non
debet
esse
acceptio
personarum
:
the
Iudges
,
and
Lawyers
should
not
regard
the
great
men
more
then
the
poore
,
nor
the
plaintifes
bagges
,
more
then
the
defendants
,
in
forma
pauperis
.
Woe
be
vnto
them
that
make
vnrighteous
lawes
,
whereby
the
poore
are
oppressed
.
Woe
vnto
that
abominable
Cittie
,
whose
Rulers
are
as
roaring
Lyons
,
whose
Iudges
are
as
Wolues
in
the
Eucning
:
these
threatnings
out
of
the
Scripture
,
will
make
the
Lawyers
timerous
to
die
,
when
they
shall
recount
with
themselues
,
how
oft
they
haue
trangressed
these
diuine
lawes
,
how
many
bribes
they
haue
receiued
to
giue
vniust
sentence
,
how
oft
they
haue
stopt
their
eares
,
against
the
crie
of
the
needie
,
how
oft
they
haue
heard
the
accuser
,
&
would
not
hearken
to
the
accused
.
Reiecting
Alexanders
graue
iudgement
,
who
did
alwaies
stop
one
of
his
eares
,
when
any
one
did
complaine
againe
another
,
saying
,
this
care
I
lend
the
accuser
,
the
other
I
reserue
for
the
excuser
.
When
I
say
they
shall
record
their
publicke
and
priuate
iniuries
,
their
conniuence
at
manifest
faults
,
and
too
much
seueritie
at
small
crimes
,
their
vnlawfull
condemnations
,
and
their
partiall
absolutions
,
I
say
these
committed
offences
will
so
examinate
them
,
and
strike
such
a
terror
into
them
,
when
the
streame
of
their
life
runneth
at
a
low
ebbe
,
and
the
date
of
their
life
heere
in
this
world
is
expired
,
and
they
entering
into
the
kalends
of
death
,
then
they
will
sit
quiuering
for
feare
,
and
knocke
at
the
doore
of
their
conscience
,
and
there
summon
a
quest
of
inquirie
for
their
sinnes
,
and
when
they
shall
come
to
appeare
at
the
Bar
of
consideration
,
and
there
be
arrained
,
they
shall
answere
as
prisoners
at
the
Barre
,
guiltie
,
guiltie
.
And
this
is
the
reason
why
they
are
so
vnwillingly
to
depart
out
of
this
life
:
in
like
manner
the
Tradesmen
,
who
are
customers
to
the
world
,
who
haue
gotten
false
ware
sutable
to
the
shoppe
of
such
Marchants
,
whose
traficke
is
to
toile
,
whose
wealth
trash
,
whose
gaine
miserie
:
they
I
say
,
are
vnwilling
to
depart
this
life
,
because
by
their
fraudulent
dealings
,
they
haue
purchased
an
ill
conscience
,
which
doth
make
them
sleepe
like
the
Nightingalls
,
who
alwaies
sleepe
with
a
prickt
against
their
brest
,
so
doe
they
sleepe
,
or
rather
slumber
,
hauing
a
pricking
conscience
.
It
alwaies
registreth
their
misdeedes
,
showing
them
their
offences
,
and
so
they
haue
no
confident
perswasiion
that
their
election
is
sure
.
Also
the
husbandmen
,
who
haue
long
time
tilled
the
earth
,
and
by
the
sweat
of
their
labours
,
haue
increased
their
worldly
possessions
,
&
now
perceiue
by
the
infirmitie
of
their
body
,
they
bee
not
able
any
more
to
endure
the
churlish
entertainment
of
the
world
,
or
to
prolong
the
tedious
line
of
life
,
and
recount
with
themselues
what
infinite
paines
they
haue
vndergone
,
for
to
obtaine
worldly
riches
,
and
neuer
laboured
one
houre
in
the
field
of
Gods
Church
,
to
possesse
beauenly
treasures
,
sowing
the
seedes
of
repentant
sorrowe
,
and
watering
them
with
the
teares
of
contrition
,
that
they
might
reape
a
more
beneficiall
haruest
,
and
gather
the
fruits
of
endlesse
comfort
.
Then
they
will
thinke
with
them selues
,
that
it
is
an
vnseasonable
time
to
alter
the
course
of
their
vnthriuing
husbandry
,
when
in
the
Aprill
of
theyr
yeeres
they
might
haue
brought
foorth
the
flowers
&
fruites
of
saluation
,
and
these
be
the
causes
why
they
be
vnwilling
to
depart
out
of
this
life
,
and
dare
not
say
with
father
Simeon
,
O
Lord
commaund
that
my
Soule
may
depart
in
peace
.
Nor
dare
not
cry
out
with
Dauid
,
the
pyller
of
mother
Sion
,
who
liued
in
the
child-hood
of
the
Church
,
when
the
clowde
of
the
Law
did
ouershadow
the
appearance
of
the
Sun
in
fulnesse
of
comfort
,
before
Christ
had
opened
the
store-house
of
ioy
;
and
yet
he
beeing
wearie
of
his
life
,
and
the
burden
of
his
body
,
cryed
out
,
Oh
howe
long
shall
I
liue
in
this
prison
?
And
Paule
,
the
notable
organ
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
singeth
the
same
long
with
Dauid
,
saying
;
ô
wretched
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliuer
me
from
this
body
of
sinne
?
So
did
Father
Ieremie
wish
,
that
the
wombe
had
serued
for
his
tombe
.
And
so
did
Esay
be
waile
his
birth
,
and
murmured
against
the
knees
that
held
him
vp
,
&
the
breasts
that
gaue
him
sucke
.
For
they
knew
that
the
worlde
was
but
a
sea
of
sorrow
,
and
our
life
like
vnto
a
new
ship
put
into
the
sea
,
fleeting
to
the
bottomlesse
swallow
,
where
as
the
tempestuous
winds
and
waues
of
this
world
doe
beate
vppon
,
and
alwaies
threaten
a
drowning
of
life
:
but
when
this
fraile
mortall
life
seemes
to
haue
broken
her
wings
by
the
force
of
death
,
then
presently
as
immortall
shee
taketh
her
flight
,
and
lands
at
a
good
port
:
Why
therefore
should
wee
desire
to
adde
more
feathers
to
the
wings
of
time
,
sith
after
our
dissolution
we
shal
be
made
liuely
members
,
fully
knit
in
our
body
Christ
Iesus
.
Ay
but
a
man
will
say
,
if
I
were
fully
perswaded
,
that
I
should
bee
made
partaker
of
this
beauenlie
life
,
I
would
willingly
desire
to
die
,
and
wish
that
the
feeble
threds
of
my
life
would
euery
howre
vntwine
:
But
now
my
guiltie
conscience
doth
accuse
mee
,
my
ill
ledde
life
doth
terrifie
me
,
and
all
my
wicked
deedes
doe
so
molest
my
mind
,
that
I
am
afraide
to
die
.
Sure
this
serious
consideration
of
our
former
offences
,
dooth
much
amaze
a
good
grounded
christian
,
when
hee
lies
vppon
his
dying
bed
,
wayting
for
the
rufull
diuorcement
of
his
body
and
soule
,
hauing
a
fettered
conscience
,
which
alwaies
will
assure
him
,
that
he
hauing
been
a
sluggish
drone
in
the
hiue
of
Christes
Church
,
shall
not
tast
the
sweetnes
of
pleasure
,
nor
the
hony
combe
of
comfort
in
the
heauenly
Citty
,
but
hee
shall
bee
glutted
with
the
sower
grape
of
persecution
,
of
Gods
wrath
,
and
these
hellish
torments
:
that
he
hauing
been
a
carelesse
Marriner
in
this
world
,
and
alwaies
the
shippe
of
his
body
remaining
in
the
scope
of
the
wicked
wind
and
weather
of
this
world
,
the
Pirate
the
deuill
shall
make
shipwracke
of
his
saluation
,
and
so
hee
perrish
vppon
the
rocks
of
eternall
ruine
.
But
against
all
these
desperable
considerations
,
the
saying
of
Saint
Augustine
is
the
best
remedy
,
If
thou
feare
iudgement
to
come
,
rebuke
thy
conscience
.
In
the
whole
course
of
thy
life
so
liue
,
that
thou
maist
haue
a
secure
conscience
:
for
thou
must
liue
here
for
a
time
in
such
sort
,
that
thou
dying
godly
,
maist
liue
for
euer
.
We
must
die
that
wee
may
liue
,
and
wee
must
liue
that
wee
may
die
well
.
If
thou
liuest
well
,
thou
shalt
die
well
,
and
thou
shalt
liue
wel
,
if
thou
doost
follow
the
holy
course
which
Saint
Hierome
obserued
,
Whether
I
eate
or
drinke
(
saith
hee
)
or
what
soeuer
els
I
doe
,
alwaies
that
same
terrible
trumpet
soundeth
in
mine

,
Arise
you
that
be
dead
,
and
come
to
iudgement
.
For
as
the
same
Father
saith
in
another
place
,
He
easily
contemneth
all
things
,
that
doth
alwaies
thinke
that
he
shall
die
.
For
he
that
alwaies
takes
the
memory
of
death
for
his
vnseparable
spouse
,
and
bitter
sighs
for
his
chyldren
,
and
holy
compunction
for
his
mother
to
depure
him
from
his
filthynesse
,
he
which
hateth
the
world
perfectly
,
fauoreth
godlinesse
zealously
,
endeuoreth
to
amend
his
life
seriously
,
obeieth
his
superiors
gladly
,
and
beareth
Christs
crosse
patiently
,
showeth
good
tokens
that
hee
will
die
a
good
Christian
:
such
a
man
needs
not
feare
the
mention
of
death
,
nor
neede
his
soule
weepe
in
secret
,
nor
his
eies
drop
downe
teares
,
for
hee
may
bee
certaine
that
he
is
one
of
that
perdestinated
company
,
which
shall
raigne
for
euermore
.
But
as
for
a
man
that
hath
liued
dissolutely
,
&
through
the
whole
course
of
his
life
,
hath
beene
a
notorious
sinner
,
yet
for
all
that
hee
needs
not
dispaire
;
for
Christ
was
not
surprised
with
a
rauing
feuer
,
when
in
the
tragedie
of
his
passion
,
he
made
his
body
as
a
Cloude
to
resolue
in
showres
of
innocent
bloud
,
and
suffered
his
decrest
vaines
to
be
launced
,
to
giue
a
full
issue
for
the
price
of
our
soules
redemption
.
Hee
came
not
to
call
the
righteous
,
but
sinners
to
repentance
.
O
yee
sinners
,
behold
the
Lambe
bleeding
,
and
shedding
his
precious
blood
to
clense
you
from
sinne
,
and
to
saue
you
from
sathan
,
drinke
vp
in
faith
the
droppings
of
his
blood
,
and
moisten
your
soules
therewith
,
eate
him
and
chew
him
,
for
he
is
the
bread
of
life
,
which
whosoeuer
eateth
,
shall
neuer
hunger
more
.
Say
with
Christestome
,
Omnis
mea
salus
in
passione
Christi
est
posita
.
For
whatsoeuer
doth
belong
to
my
saluation
,
paratum
est
per
Christi
mortem
,
as
the
same
father
saith
:
his
death
hath
made
a
sufficient
ransome
for
my
sinnes
;
It
is
the
Lambe
of
God
which
doth
purge
mee
from
all
my
sinnes
:
I
fully
beleiue
that
therefore
all
my
sinnes
shall
be
forgiuen
me
,
not
for
my
merrits
,
but
for
Christs
death
,
not
for
my
righteousnesse
,
but
for
Gods
mercies
,
which
doth
extend
to
thousands
,
and
tenne
thousands
,
whose
sinnes
in
respect
of
Gods
mercies
,
are
but
(
as
Augustine
saith
)
one
droppe
in
respect
of
the
whole
Sea
.
And
(
as
Bernard
saith
)
the
mercie
of
God
is
greater
,
then
any
miserie
of
ours
.
Hold
vp
thine
eies
to
heauen
,
behold
the
God
of
all
consolation
and
mercy
,
craue
of
him
to
poure
downe
the
influences
of
his
comfort
to
helpe
thy
vnbeliefe
,
to
confirme
thy
faith
,
to
strengthen
thee
with
a
stedfast
assurance
of
his
heauenly
Kingdome
.
Wast
away
thy
wickednesse
in
the
Fountaine
of
repentance
,
and
the
leprosie
of
thy
sinne
,
in
the
streaming
Riuers
of
penitent
teares
.
For
this
heauenly
dew
of
repentance
neuer
falls
,
but
the
Sun
of
righteousnesse
drawes
it
vp
;
for
it
was
sweetly
vttered
by
a
Diuine
of
sweetest
vtterance
,
that
repentant
eies
are
the
Cellars
of
Angells
,
and
penitent
teares
the
sweetest
wines
,
which
the
sauour
of
life
perfumeth
,
the
tast
of
grace
sweetneth
,
and
the
purest
cullours
of
returning
innocency
highly
beautifieth
.
Oh
that
our
harts
were
euermore
such
a
limbecke
,
distilling
so
pure
a
quintessence
of
godlinesse
,
drawne
from
the
weedes
of
our
offences
;
by
the
fire
of
true
contrition
,
heauen
would
mourne
at
the
absence
of
so
precious
waters
,
and
earth
lament
the
losse
of
so
fruitfull
showres
.
Sure
till
death
close
vp
those
fountaines
,
they
should
neuer
faile
running
:
which
if
they
did
alwaies
runne
,
we
neede
not
doubt
of
our
saluation
,
but
that
GOD
would
wash
away
all
our
sinnes
.
The
world
(
saith
Bernard
)
had
not
perrished
with
the
flood
,
if
they
had
betaken
themselues
to
repentance
.
And
as
it
is
in
Ieremie
,
If
wee
repent
of
our
wickednesse
,
God
will
repent
of
his
wickednesse
deuised
against
vs
,
and
as
it
is
in
Ezechiell
,
If
the
vngodly
will
turne
away
from
all
his
sinnes
that
he
hath
done
,
doubtlesse
he
shall
liue
and
not
die
.
And
againe
,
bee
conuerted
,
and
turne
you
cleane
from
your
wickednesse
,
so
shall
there
do
sinne
doe
you
harme
.
So
when
the
Niniuites
did
repent
,
mourning
in
Sack-cloath
and
ashes
,
he
repented
on
the
euill
which
he
said
he
would
doe
vnto
them
,
and
did
it
not
.
Examples
of
repentant
sinners
,
who
obtained
remission
for
their
offences
,
be
Paule
,
the
sinfull
woman
,
Dauid
,
Manasses
,
Peter
,
the
theife
this
day
on
the
crosse
,
this
night
in
Paradise
.
For
Iesus
is
like
an
Euangelicall
henne
,
neuer
ceaseth
clocking
to
gather
thee
vnder
his
winges
like
a
Chicken
;
for
it
pleased
Iesus
of
vnmerrited
goodnesse
,
to
leaue
the
nintie
nine
mist
sheepe
,
the
societie
of
blessed
Angells
,
to
seeke
the
straying
sheepe
,
the
groate
that
lost
the
royall
stampe
of
pure
nature
:
man
this
lost
sheepe
thou
soughtest
(
O
Iesus
)
thou
foundest
sweete
Iesus
,
by
death
thou
foundest
him
,
by
bleeding
paines
thou
foundest
him
,
by
nayled
hands
and
boared
feete
thou
foundest
him
,
by
a
thornie
Crowne
,
by
drinking
vineger
,
by
sweating
droppes
of
bloud
,
by
suffering
the
violent
death
on
the
crosse
thou
foundest
him
.
O
louing
Iesus
,
and
tender
harted
Samaritan
,
that
of
a
sicke
hast
salued
,
of
a
grieuous
sinner
hast
saued
him
,
of
a
wicked
creature
,
hast
washed
him
in
the
streame
of
thy
inestimable
mercie
.
Therfore
I
confidently
beleiue
although
the
flower
of
my
age
is
faded
,
the
grasse
withered
,
and
my
whole
life
as
a
vanishing
vapoure
is
passed
away
,
yet
when
I
shail
be
dissolued
,
I
assuredly
hope
to
be
ioyned
fully
to
Iesus
my
head
,
and
onely
Vine
,
wherein
I
liue
;
although
the
purseuant
sicknesse
must
visit
this
body
of
sin
,
and
death
must
rowe
mee
ouer
the
Seas
of
this
world
,
yet
I
hope
in
the
barke
of
faith
,
and
merrits
of
Christ
Iesus
,
and
by
the
Ancor
of
Gods
couenaunts
made
to
the
house
of
David
,
I
shall
arriue
at
that
blessed
Hauen
,
from
whence
I
shall
neuer
more
hoise
vp
sailes
,
or
lanch
into
the
deepe
of
miserie
,
but
shall
sit
imparadised
in
heauen
with
fulnesse
of
grace
,
till
the
day
of
thy
great
visitation
shal
com
,
when
meeting
thee
in
the
cloudes
,
I
shall
enter
into
the
store
house
of
ioyes
,
there
for
euermore
to
raigne
.
If
a
sinner
could
thus
absolutely
confirme
himself
,
&
not
distrust
Gods
mercy
and
clemencie
,
without
all
doubt
he
would
not
feare
to
die
:
but
withall
,
hee
must
haue
a
setled
determination
,
to
mortifie
his
bodie
,
to
abandon
vices
,
&
with
the
trumpet
of
a
Christian
life
to
sound
a
retraite
from
sin
,
alwaies
remembring
Christ
crucified
:
For
as
Bernard
saith
,
The
remembrance
of
Christ
crucified
,
crucifieth
sinne
.
And
as
S.
Augustine
saith
,
Then
Christ
dooth
sleepe
in
thee
,
when
thou
hast
forgot
his
passion
.
The
readiest
way
,
&
direct
path
to
goe
to
Heauen
,
is
to
swim
through
the
red
sea
of
Christes
blood
.
The
droppes
of
Christs
precious
blood
raigning
downe
from
the
clowdes
of
his
mercie
,
must
quench
the
angry
flame
of
Gods
wrath
,
which
wee
cannot
extinguish
by
the
vertuous
water
of
any
merrit
.
It
is
the
oyle
of
Grace
,
which
must
purge
our
defiled
harts
:
It
is
the
dewe
of
heauen
which
will
make
vs
florish
,
beeing
ingrafted
into
the
true
Oliue
.
It
is
the
welspring
of
our
saluation
,
it
is
the
heauenly
manna
,
which
all
of
vs
should
gather
vp
in
the
wildernes
of
this
world
.
Loue
this
good
thing
,
in
which
all
goodnes
is
,
&
it
is
enough
for
thee
:
yea
obserue
but
this
short
lesson
which
Augustine
giueth
,
&
thou
art
a
good
Christian
:
Ama
deum
,
et
amices
in
deum
,
et
inimicos
propter
deum
,
et
beatus
es
,
Loue
Christ
who
loueth
thee
,
loue
his
friends
,
that
loue
Christ
,
and
thee
,
loue
Christes
enemies
,
that
hate
Christ
and
thee
,
&
then
thou
shalt
be
beloued
of
Christ
;
for
louing
him
,
thou
shalt
bee
beloued
of
Christ
:
for
louing
them
that
hate
Christ
,
&
thee
,
the
haters
shall
perrish
,
yet
thou
louing
,
shalt
be
beloued
.
Loue
GOD
without
measure
,
them
shalt
thou
be
happy
without
measure
.
Loue
God
withal
thy
hart
,
whom
thou
shalt
behold
without
end
,
loue
without
pride
,
praise
with
out
wearines
.
Therfore
,
if
men
did
but
obserue
this
briefe
lesson
,
wee
need
not
feare
death
,
but
welcome
him
with
a
thousand
kisses
,
for
that
messenger
doth
bring
vs
gladde
tidings
;
for
by
him
we
change
transitory
,
mortall
,
and
corruptible
things
,
for
certaine
,
immortall
,
and
incorruptible
treasures
,
earth
for
heauen
,
sin
for
godlines
,
darknes
for
light
,
feare
for
security
,
trauell
for
quietnesse
,
sicknesse
for
health
,
death
for
life
,
the
company
of
men
,
for
the
companie
of
the
omnipotent
God
,
and
heauenly
angels
,
the
vile
pleasures
of
this
world
,
for
the
inestimable
ioyes
of
heauen
.
Oh
therefore
let
vs
hartily
wish
to
be
losoned
from
this
life
,
that
we
may
come
to
appeare
before
the
presence
of
God
:
let
vs
say
with
Dauid
,
Like
as
the
Hart
desireth
the
water
brookes
,
so
longeth
my
soule
after
thee
,
ô
God
,
O
GOD
,
thou
art
my
God
,
early
will
I
seek
thee
,
my
soule
thirsteth
for
thee
,
my
flesh
also
longeth
after
thee
,
in
a
barren
and
dry
land
where
no
water
is
.
Let
vs
say
with
Iob
,
It
grieueth
my
soule
to
liue
longer
in
this
mortall
body
.
Let
vs
say
with
holy
Toby
,
O
Lord
deale
with
me
according
to
thy
will
,
and
command
my
spirit
to
be
receiued
in
peace
.
For
when
the
liuely
threds
of
our
life
vntie
,
the
spindle
vndoe
,
the
web
riue
,
and
our
naturall
life
endeth
,
yet
the
spirituall
and
essentiall
part
,
namely
the
soule
,
shall
be
receiued
with
Angels
,
&
carried
to
heauen
most
louingly
,
as
a
precious
relique
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
It
shal
be
like
a
Doue
carried
on
the
wings
of
Angels
,
into
this
heauenly
Palace
:
For
as
Augustine
saith
,
It
is
the
office
of
Angels
to
carry
soules
to
the
company
of
the
blessed
.
Now
therefore
,
when
Death
shal
breake
vp
your
mortall
house
,
imprint
this
lesson
in
the
forefront
of
your
languishing
flesh
,
yea
euen
when
you
are
halfe
berest
of
life
,
that
you
remember
Christ
crucified
;
remember
him
to
be
the
onely
Sauiour
;
remember
God
the
Father
,
to
bee
a
most
mercifull
Father
.
Fixe
the
eyes
of
your
faith
on
Iesus
Christ
,
&
on
his
merrits
,
on
his
passion
&
death
,
on
his
blessed
body
breaking
,
and
his
most
precious
blood
shedding
,
on
his
triumph
and
victory
ouer
sathan
,
and
his
hellish
army
.
Forget
not
that
all
your
sinnes
are
washed
away
in
Christes
blood
,
&
that
by
vertue
of
his
death
and
passion
,
you
are
made
heyre
of
euerlasting
saluation
.
Fight
a
good
fight
,
be
not
discouraged
by
the
paines
of
death
,
neuer
shrink
in
Deaths
battell
,
call
vppon
Iesus
,
for
no
baulme
will
be
more
comfortable
to
a
wound
,
than
the
name
of
Iesus
to
deaths
wound
.
Put
on
the
Helmet
of
saluation
,
the
brest-plate
of
righteousnes
,
the
girdle
of
truth
,
the
shield
of
faith
,
the
sworde
of
the
spirit
,
and
your
feete
shod
with
the
preparation
of
the
Gospell
of
peace
.
Feare
not
,
stand
fast
,
quit
your selues
like
men
,
for
in
this
spirituall
battell
,
you
sight
vnder
the
banner
of
the
mighty
&
victorious
Emperor
Iesus
Christ
;
onely
continue
with
these
weapons
,
&
the
day
is
yours
.
If
sathan
tempt
you
,
you
may
with
hartie
prayers
,
(
good
Orators
for
your
saluation
)
inchant
that
Dragon
,
that
hee
may
sleep
,
while
your
soule
is
translated
to
tast
of
the
golden
fruite
of
blessed
soules
:
perseuere
in
this
battell
,
which
is
the
true
complement
of
vertue
:
The
paine
of
the
battel
is
small
,
the
glorie
of
the
triumph
shall
abide
for
euer
&
euer
.
For
so
saith
the
scripture
,
To
him
that
ouercōmmeth
,
I
will
giue
to
eate
of
the
tree
of
life
,
which
is
in
the
midst
of
Paradice
:
be
faithful
vnto
the
death
,
and
I
wil
giue
thee
a
crowne
of
life
.
Hee
that
ouercommeth
,
I
wil
make
a
piller
in
the
temple
of
my
God
,
and
hee
shall
go
no
more
out
:
yea
to
him
that
ouercōmath
wil
I
grant
to
sit
with
me
in
my
seate
.
These
precious
promises
&
rewards
,
may
make
vs
couragious
against
death
:
folow
your
captaine
Christ
&
you
cannot
erre
,
for
he
is
the
way
,
belieue
christ
&
you
cannot
be
deceiued
for
hee
is
the
truth
,
abide
and
remaine
in
Christ
,
and
you
cannot
die
the
death
euerlasting
,
for
he
is
the
life
:
wherfore
cleaue
with
strong
faith
to
Christ
,
and
say
with
that
wise
man
;
My
minde
is
rooted
and
built
in
Christ
,
and
then
you
neede
not
feare
when
death
shall
giue
your
soule
the
winges
of
true
libertie
,
to
depart
out
of
your
fraile
flesh
,
and
to
flie
vp
to
heauen
,
and
rest
within
Abrahams
bosome
:
for
them
you
shal
rest
from
your
labors
&
trauels
.
For
so
saith
the
scripture
;
the
soules
of
the
righteous
are
in
thy
hand
ô
God
,
&
the
paine
of
death
shall
not
touch
them
.
In
the
sight
of
the
vnwise
they
appeare
to
die
,
but
they
are
in
peace
;
they
are
as
the
Angells
of
God
:
they
are
clad
with
white
garments
,
&
haue
golden
crownes
vpon
their
heads
.
They
doe
stand
day
&
night
before
his
Maiesty
,
there
they
haue
all
ioy
,
solace
,
and
harts
contentments
.
By
death
we
passe
from
earth
to
heauen
,
from
men
to
Angells
,
from
warre
to
peace
,
from
paine
to
pleasure
,
from
griefe
to
gladnesse
,
from
miserie
to
perpetuall
felicitie
:
we
passe
by
death
from
this
life
,
which
is
like
a
bubble
in
the
water
,
like
a
weauers
Shettell
,
like
a
smoake
,
like
a
vapoure
,
like
a
shaddowe
,
like
a
flower
that
fadeth
,
like
grasse
that
withereth
,
it
is
but
a
span-long
:
it
is
a
warfare
,
it
is
like
a
ruinous
house
euer
readie
to
fall
,
it
is
like
a
cloude
in
the
element
,
whereof
wee
are
vncertaine
,
where
and
when
it
falleth
.
This
cloude
sometimes
melteth
in
the
cradle
,
sometimes
in
the
chaire
.
Death
is
like
the
Sunne
,
whensoeuer
it
shineth
,
it
melteth
our
cloudie
life
,
be
the
cloude
thereof
neuer
so
thicke
or
thin
in
yeares
:
this
life
is
like
an
vncertaine
wethercocke
,
which
turnech
at
euery
blast
;
like
a
Waue
that
mounteth
at
euery
storme
:
like
a
reede
that
boweth
at
euery
whistling
wind
.
This
world
is
an
exile
,
a
vale
of
miserie
,
a
wildernesse
of
sorrowes
,
a
dungeon
of
sinners
,
a
sea
of
miseries
,
where
wee
passe
away
the
wauering
daies
of
this
vncertaine
life
,
sayling
as
Pilgrims
on
the
waters
of
this
world
,
tossed
by
the
tempests
of
aduersitie
,
and
oppressed
by
sundry
Pyrats
,
the
flesh
,
sin
,
and
the
deuill
,
and
yet
by
the
Barke
of
a
liuely
faith
,
and
by
the
Marriner
death
,
wee
shall
bee
transported
from
the
flesh
pots
of
Egipt
,
to
eate
of
comfortable
Manna
,
not
in
the
wildernesse
,
but
in
new
Ierusalem
:
Therefore
hast
ô
good
God
to
deliuer
me
from
this
painfull
life
,
to
that
glorious
life
,
from
this
wretched
mansion
,
to
that
excellent
tabernacle
:
from
this
stormie
worlde
,
to
the
calme
country
of
heauen
;
where
I
shall
haue
liberty
without
imprisonment
,
health
without
sicknes
,
ioy
without
sorrowe
,
pleasure
without
paine
,
in
such
securitie
,
eternitie
,
and
perpetuitie
,
as
passeth
all
thoughts
.
Come
therefore
Death
,
thou
art
welcome
,
thou
art
thrice
welcome
death
.
For
when
the
Tree
of
my
life
shall
fall
downe
heere
vpon
earth
,
and
I
shall
see
my
father
dust
,
&
my
mother
ashes
,
yet
my
soule
shall
be
carried
into
Abrahams
bosome
.
Adiew

from
my

amiable
tabernacles
of

is
better
then
a

by
the
waters
of
Babilon
,
when
I

,
for
now
I

,
and

there
for
euermore
.
Come
