THE
ARKE
OF
NOAH
.
Collected
out
of
the
18.
Chapter
of
the
Prouerbs
,
verse
10.
The
name
of
the
Lord
is
a
strong
tower
:
the
righteous
runneth
vnto
it
,
and
is
preserued
.
Confirmed
by
the
practise
of
King
Dauid
,

Chron.
Chap.
21.
ver.
17.
and
26.
And
he
called
vpon
the
Lord
,
and
hee
answered
him
by
fire
from
heauen
.
THe
whole
Colledge
of
the
bodily
Physitians
,
and
the
prince
of
them
,
that
wise
and
learned
Galen
,
prescribe
for
the
time
of
Plague
,
that
of
all
remedies
,
to
preuent
the
contagion
,
the
best
is
,
to
flie
and
shunne
the
infected
and
corrupted
ayre
,
and
to
depart
vnto
a
wholesome
and
purer
ayre
:
and
that
with
these
three
rules
,
Citò
,
longè
,
tradè
.
Depart
speedily
,
farre
off
,
and
returne
slowly
.
As
this
is
physically
prescribed
,
so
it
is
diligently
practised
,
as
daily
experience
teacheth
,
of
all
sorts
of
men
,
yea
of
the
Physitians
themselues
;
I
will
not
contradict
the
prescription
of
the
Physitian
,
nor
disprooue
the
diligence
of
the
sonnes
of
men
,
if
they
vse
departure
lawfully
,
therein
not
sinning
,
(
Contra
patriam
,
charitatem
,
vecationem
,
)
against
their
Countrey
,
their
calling
,
and
Christian
charitie
.
But
because
,
by
the
corruption
of
our
nature
,
we
suffer
our selues
as
with
maine
sayle
to
be
carried
away
from
the
Creator
to
the
creature
;
fixing
all
our
senses
more
vpon
the
aeriall
corruption
,
then
vpon
the
inward
cause
of
the
contagion
,
the
rottennesse
of
our
bones
,
which
we
carrie
within
our selues
,
and
are
more
carefull
to
depart
into
the
Countrey
then
vnto
the
Lord
;
as
if
by
the
swiftnesse
of
our
feete
we
could
out-runne
him
who
rideth
vpon
the
wings
of
the
Cherubims
,
Deut.

22.
This
is
the
reason
why
the
whole
Colledge
of
the
spirituall
Physition
of
our
soules
haue
prescribed
for
the
time
of
Plague
,
a
better
flight
and
departure
,
then
that
which
is
prescribed
by
Galen
and
the
rest
;
namely
(
to
the
name
of
Iehouah
)
by
the
feete
of
prayer
,
mentioned
and
storied
by
that
wise
Salomon
in
the
words
prefixed
.
And
as
it
is
prescribed
,
so
it
hath
beene
practised
of
the
Saints
of
God
:
among
the
rest
,
of
King
Dauid
in
the
time
of
Plague
,
as
the
second
place
adioyning
vnto
the
first
doth
witnesse
.
Of
this
place
then
,
which
is
the
right
Arke
,
and
the
little
Zoar
,
whereunto
our
first
care
ought
to
bee
in
the
time
of
plague
to
depart
,
and
which
is
also
the
trustie
friend
and
seruant
to
aide
the
sicke
,
and
the
exercise
for
them
that
are
departed
,
to
spend
the
time
till
they
returne
,
giue
me
leaue
Christian
Readers
to
discourse
out
of
the
harmonie
of
these
two
places
here
prefixed
.
To
pray
well
saith
Chrysostome
,
is
an
excellent
art
,
which
doth
adorne
a
Christian
,
but
it
is
not
sufficient
to
know
that
we
must
pray
,
but
also
in
what
manner
:
and
therefore
that
we
might
the
better
be
instructed
in
the
going
to
this
place
,
and
become
skilfull
in
this
art
,
I
will
braunch
the
description
of
this
place
into
these
three
seuerall
parts
,
which
will
store
vs
with
a
cluster
of
singular
meditations
.
The
first
is
,
the
name
of
the
place
,
it
is
(
the
name
of
the
Lord.
)
The
second
is
,
the
qualitie
,
condition
,
propertie
,
and
the
safenesse
of
it
,
expressed
in
two
things
:
First
,
because
it
is
(
a
strong
towre
)
:
secondly
,
by
the
successe
of
those
that
runne
vnto
it
(
and
is
exalted
)
or
deliuered
:
which
is
the
thing
which
they
receiue
that
run
to
it
.
The
third
thing
is
,
what
maner
of
persons
they
must
be
that
flie
to
it
,
and
what
househould
stuffe
they
must
carrie
thither
with
them
to
be
receiued
,
noted
in
these
words
(
the
rightious
runneth
vnto
it
.
)
As
for
the
place
,
let
me
obserue
〈◊〉
things
.
For
as
in
the
time
of
plague
,
for
our
departure
,
first
it
is
necessarie
,
that
we
know
the
name
of
the
place
whereunto
we
go
:
secondly
,
that
we
haue
feet
to
beare
&
carie
vs
thither
:
thirdly
,
that
we
haue
a
direction
that
we
might
not
erre
:
fourthly
,
that
wee
haue
some
right
&
interest
there
,
or
some
acquaintance
,
that
we
may
be
receiued
.
So
likewise
these
foure
things
are
necessarie
to
be
knowne
of
vs
,
in
our
spirituall
departure
.
Touching
the
name
of
the
place
whereunto
Dauid
fled
in
the
time
of
plague
,
Moses
,
Num

bringeth
in
a
perfect
catalogue
:
&
the
Lord
hath
deliuered
this
his
name
by
proclamation
,

The
Lord
,
the
Lord

&

goodnes
and
truth

,
Psal.

is
the
place
it selfe
whereunto
Dauid
,
and
wee
ought
to
flie
from
the
contagion
.
The
name
of
a
place
if
it
be
known
,
famous
and
renowned
,
hath
often
much
force
to
perswade
vs
rather
to
goe
vnto
such
a
place
,
then
vnto
such
or
such
:
surely
there
was
neuer
name
of
place
more
worthy
to
goe
vnto
,
then
the
name
of
Iehouah
.
O
ye
righteous
soules
that
thirst
by
reason
of
the
heate
of
the
plague
vpon
your
beddes
,
flie
vnto
this
place
,
to
the
waters
of
comfort
:
here
are
wels
enough
to
be
drawne
at
:
this
is
the
name
which
God
hath
proclaimed
to
the
world
,
and
whereby
he
would
be
knowne
to
men
,
that
if
euer
they
come
to
him
,
they
may
speake
their
mindes
in
the
confidence
and
trust
of
this
amiable
name
.
Esteeme
it
not
strange
beloued
,
that
the
name
of
a
place
is
attributed
to
the
Lord
:
for
that
he
is
a
place
of
refuge
,
three
things
are
able
to
prooue
:
First
,
the
witnes
of
God
himselfe
:
second
,
the
confession
of
the
righteous
:
third
,
the
word
(
running
)
here
vsed
by
king
Salomon
.
As
for
the
Lord
he
doth
attribute
vnto
himselfe
this
name
by
the
pen
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
calling
himselfe
a
secret
place
,

this
is
the
confession
of
the
righteous
:
Of

father
in

places
,

The
Lord
is

Thou
art
my

place

&
compas●est

about
with
ioyfull
deliuerance
:
and
so
Psal
94.
22.
This
is
also
the
confession
of
the
sonne
in
this
place
:
and
of
all
the
Saints
of
God
,
vnto
whose
confessions
I
referre
you
,
as
they
are
set
downe
by
the
holy
Ghost
in
the
booke
of
God
.
Thirdly
,
the
word
(
runneth
)
implieth
as
much
,
which
giueth
me
entrance
to
the
second
point
,
opening
vnto
vs
the
feete
which
we
neede
to
goe
vnto
this
place
,
the
which
if
ye
are
desirous
to
know
,
they
are
two
in
number
(
Faith
and
Praier
)
.
2.
Cor.
1.
24.
by
faith
we
may
also
goe
to
the
lord
who
is
faithful
.
Now
how
could
we
go
vnto
him
by
the
feete
of
prayer
,
if
we
did
not
,
beleeue
in
him
?

The
second
,
is
prayer
,
a
spirituall
legge
to
beare
vs
thither
,

by

mention
of
running

thee

vs
therfore
goe
vnto

the

of
the
place

to
goe
vnto

and
the
spirituall
legs
which
the
Lord
hath
giuen
vs
to
carrie
vs
thither
,
doe
preach
vnto
the
sonnes
of
men
the
admirable
goodnes
and
mercie
of
the
Lord
toward
them
.
In
this
world
wee
are
as
pilgrims
,

continuing

,
Heb

and
while
we
are
at
home
in
the
body
,
we
are
absent
from
the
Lord
,
2.
Cor.

In
which
pilgrimage
Many
are
the
troubles
of
the
righteous
,
Psal.
34.
O
the
great
goodnesse
of
the
Lord
then
,
that
hee
hath
giuen
vs
feete
to
come
vnto
him
,
and
made
himselfe
a
place
of
refuge
for
vs
in
all
our
troubles
!
which
goodnesse
is
comfortable
vnto
the
faithfull
:
for
as
it
is
a
comfort
vnto
the
pilgrim
,
shepheard
,
or
souldier
,
to
haue
in
the
heate
of
the
day
a
place
of
refuge
to
refresh
their
wearied
members
:
So
likewise
what
a
comfort
is
it
for
you
O
afflicted
soules
in
the
heate
of
your
afflictions
,
to
haue
the
name
of
Iehouah
for
a
sacred
Sanctuarie
!
the
Lord
is
not
like
vnto
the
princes
of
the
earth
,
who
desire
not
to
be
molested
with
the
requests
of
their
distressed
subiects
.
It
is
a
ioy
to
the
wearied
student
,
that
he
may
sometime
come
home
to
his
fathers
house
and
recreate
himselfe
:
Into
this
world
the
Lord
hath
sent
vs
as
in
an
Vniuersitie
,
which
although
it
is
farre
off
from
our
fathers
house
,
yet
the
Lord
hath
giuen
vs
spirituall
feete
,
by
which
in
a
moment
we
can
ascend
vnto
our
fathers
house
,
and
recreate
there
our
wearied
spirits
.
This
world
is
a
waste
desart
,
if
wee
neede
any
thing
,
here
are
the
legges
by
which
speedily
wee
may
runne
to
this
place
,
and
prouide
our selues
.
If
the
Lord
hath
cast
vs
downe
vpon
our
beds
,
and
that
wee
can
not
vse
the
feete
of
our
bodies
,
behold
,
hee
hath
giuen
vs
other
feete
,
to
vse
in
steade
of
these
.
King
Ezekias
visited
with
the
plague
,
could
not
vse
the
feete
of
the
flesh
,
but
with
the
feete
of
the
spirit
,
went
vnto
this
place
,
knowen
vnto
him
by
the
name
of
Iehouah
.
Ionas
is
locked
vp
in
a
prison
,
in
the
belly
of
the
Whale
,
(
the
Lords
prison
)
and
can
not
stirre
himselfe
,
and
yet
by
the
vertue
of
these
feete
,
out
of
the
depth
,
he
ascendeth
to
the
holy
temple
of
Iehouah
.
Now
that
these
feete
may
be
able
to
beare
vs
thither
,
Further
,
Psal.
105.
and
therefore
,
according
to
the
direction
of
our
Sauiour
,
Let
our
loynes
be
girded
,
and
let
vs
beare
in
our
hands
this
shining
light
.
Fourthly
,
Dauid
,
1.
Chron.
21.
17.
in
his
prayer
,
sheweth
vpon
what
right
and
encouragement
in
the
time
of
plague
hee
went
to
this
place
,
(
O
Lord
my
God
I
beseech
thee
,
&c.
)
it
was
then
,
because
the
Lord
was
his
God
;
he
had
a
particular
feeling
of
the
loue
of
God
toward
him
,
and
knew
him
to
be
his
God
for
he
had
had
some
experience
of
deliuerance
.
The
reason
why
wee
must
haue
this
right
,
is
because
being
infected
with
the
plague
of
sinne
,
we
should
not
be
receiued
.
In
the
Countrie
,
they
will
not
receiue
those
that
are
infected
with
the
plague
:
Neither
can
they
also
,
in
whose
soules
the
plague
of
sinne
doth
reigne
,
be
admitted
to
this
place
,
and
therfore
the
Lord
hath
giuen
vs
Christ
the
righteous
,
to
couer
our
vnrighteousnesse
,
that
thus
as
pure
and
cleane
wee
might
come
vnto
him
.
I
know
by
mine
owne
experience
,
that
in
the
Countrie
this
yeere
,
they
would
not
admit
some
that
came
from
the
Citie
,
vnlesse
they
had
put
on
new
apparrell
.
To
come
vnto
that
heauenly
Ierusalem
by
the
feete
of
prayer
,
we
cannot
be
admitted
,
He
hath
put
on
vs
,
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,

that
being
adorned
with
his
righteousnesse
and
holinesse
,
as
Iacob
was
with
the
garment
of
his
brother
Esau
,
We
might
with
confidence
approach
to
the
throne
of
grace
,
Heb.
4.
It
is
onely
then
in
the
name
of
Christ
that
we
must
goe
to
the
name
of
Iehouah

In

hath
as
much
right
to
goe
vnto
it
,
as
King
Salomon
:
the
infected
as
the
sound
:
the
learned
as
the
vnlearned
:
for
Christ
prayeth
for
them
all
:
and
as
Augustine
speaketh
,
Christ
prayeth
with
vs
all
as
our
brother
;
he
prayeth
in
vs
all
as
our
head
,
hee
is
prayed
vnto
by
vs
all
,
as
our
Lord
,
but
hee
prayeth
for
vs
all
,
as
our
high
Priest
.
Let
then
the
Romanists
in
the
time
of
plague
,
runne
vnto
the
name
of
Iehouah
,
in
the
name
of
Saint
Sebastian
;
Alas
,
they
shall
not
be
admitted
:
for
Christ
alone
,
as
Ambrose
speaketh
,
is
the
eye
wherewith
wee
see
the
father
,
the
hand
to
offer
vp
our
prayers
,
and
the
mouth
to
speake
vnto
him
.
But
as
for
vs
,
with
Dauid
let
vs
goe
vnto
him
by
force
of
this
right
,
saying
with
him
,
O
Lord
our
God
,
we
beseech
thee
,
&c.

out
of
the
contagious
places
in
the
time
of
plague
,
condemning
it
by
the
example
of
King
Dauid
in
generall
,
Theodorus
Beza
,
written
touching
this
matter
,
wherein
he
learnedly
,
soundly
and
religiously
refuteth
their
grosse
opinion
;
onely
let
me
destroy
their
building
which
they
erect
vpon
the
example
of
King
Dauid
.

Thirdly
,
his
owne
guiltinesse
,
that
plague
being
caused
by
his
sinne
,
the
numbring
of
the
people
,
which
caused
such
a
sorrow
in
Dauid
,
that
he
was
readie
by
his
owne
death
to
redeeme
the
publike
calamitie
,
praying
vnto
the
Lord
,

O
Lord
my
God
I
beseech
thee
,
let
thine
hand
be
on
mee
,
and
on
my
fathers
house
,
and
not
on
thy
people
for
their
destruction
.
Fourthly
,
the
soundnesse
of
Ierusalem
,
the
place
where
hee
was
,
the
Angel
hauing
not
yet
,
or
very
sparingly
touched
the
head
Citie
,
1.
Chron.
21.
15.
the
Lord
repenting
of
the
euill
,
when
the
Angel
came
to
Ierusalem
:
these
foure
particulars
are
able
to
cast
downe
their
building
,
and
to
disprooue
their
consequence
:
Dauid
fled
not
,
Ergo
,
it
is
vnlawfull
for
any
man
to
depart
:
the
true
consequence
,
if
we
would
argue
out
of
this
place
,
might
be
this
:
Dauid
and
the
Elders
departed
not
:
Ergo
,
let
not
Magistrate
forsake
his
Citie
,
nor
the
Minister
his
flocke
.
Hauing
pluckt
out
the
weedes
and
the
thistles
,
let
vs
as
the
good
husbandman
sow
the
good
seede
.
As
this
then
prooueth
not
the
vnlawfulnesse
of
departure
;
so
on
the
other
side
,
it
doth
commend
vnto
vs
king
Dauids
praying
,
Touching
the
first
,
the
spirit
of
prayer
is
a
signe
of
a
good
Conscience
;
for
as
Tertullian
speaketh
,
Lib.
de
cast
.
Oratio
de
conscientia
procedit
,
si
conscientia
erubescat
,
erubescet
oratio
.
Prayer
doeth
proceede
from
the
Conscience
:
if
the
Conscience
blush
,
prayer
will
also
bee
ashamed
.
O
it
is
an
excellent
thing
that
we
can
giue
our selues
to
this
holy
exercise
:
let
one
haue
riches
,
honour
,
pleasures
,
let
him
bee
adored
as
a
little
god
,
if
hee
haue
not
the
spirit
of
prayer
to
push
him
forward
with
Dauid
,
in
the
midst
of
his
felicitie
,
hee
is
most
miserable
.
Secondly
,
his
miserie
and
humilitie
,
for
a
King
is
become
a
begger
,
and
at
the
gate
of
the
King
of
heauen
he
vseth
speeches
of
submission
.
(
I
beseech
thee
O
Lord
)
Loe
here
,
O
proud
sonne
of
Adam
,
of
thy selfe
thou
hast
nothing
,
but
like
a
poore
suppliant
begger
thou
are
constrained
to
goe
before
the
gate
of
that
right
God
,
aswel
the
king
that
sitteth
vpon
his
throne
,
as
poore
Laxarus
that
siteth
before
the
doore
of
the
rich
man
.
Thirdly
his
memory
,
the
subiect
wherof
was
the
Lord
,
O
holy
remembrance
!
Although
he
had
as
it
were
forgotten
him
by
his
sinne
in
his
prosperitie
,
yet
he
remembreth
him
by
his
praier
in
his
affliction
:
O
the
excellencie
of
praier
,
it
is
a
remembring
of
our
best
friend
,
whose
remembrance
is
comfortable
to
our
distressed
soules
.
The
subiect
of
our
memories
,
haue
beene
along
time
commodities
,
pleasures
riches
,
honor
,
triumphs
,
and
therfore
ô
England
behold
another
subiect
to
exercise
the
art
of
thy
memorie
:
If
then
we
haue
forgotten
him
in
our
prosperitie
by
our
sinne
,
let
vs
now
remember
him
by
our
feruent
praier
in
our
affliction
.
Many
haue
practised
the
art
of
memorie
according
to
the
memoratiue
Art
,
and
preceptes
of
memorie
,
which
appoint
places
and
their
furniture
,
for
the
helpe
of
such
as
are
vnexperienced
;
but
let
vs
practise
the
art
of
this
holy
memorie
,
let
God
be
the
subiect
,
and
in
this
our
affliction
,
let
these
be
our
helpes
:
First
let
vs
remember
in
our
praier
the
commandement
of
God
,
Psal.
50.
Secondly
the
name
of
him
,
whom
we
call
vpon
,
that
it
is
Iehouoh
,
Lord
,
our
God
,
a
God
not
in
shew
,
but
in
substance
and
performance
:
a
strong
God
,
a
towre
of
defence
,
they
that
knowe
this
name
wil
trust
in
him
,
Psal.
9.
10.
Thirdly
what
he
is
by
nature
,
how
sweete
and
amiable
,
how
rich
in
mercie
,
Ephe.
2.
Fourthly
,
what
he
is
by
promise
,
how
faithfull
and
true
,
2.
Tim.
1.
3.
Lastly
what
he
is
by
couenant
,
made
vnto
Abrahams
seede
,
not
in
the
blood
of
bulles
,
but
in
the
blood
of
the
seede
of
Abraham
.
Further
,
Dauid
hath
shewen
his
wisdome
,
and
that
in
the
choice
of
the
place
,
taking
his
marke
aright
,
and
directing
his
petition
to
the
true
and
proper
periode
.
Imitate
the
wisdome
of
king
Dauid
in
his
choice
,
he
that
goeth
to
a
place
,
runneth
aright
and
wisely
,
i●
he
be
wise
,
and
not
by
crooked
and
erroneous
waies
:
Dauid
sheweth
vs
the
right
way
,
for
to
what
place
should
we
goe
but
to
this
,
when
our
sorrowes
are
multiplied
?
shall
we
follow
the
waies
of
the
wicked
,
and
say
with
them
,
Malac.
3.
It
is
in
vaine
,
that
I
haue
serued
him
,
and
what
profit
is
it
,
that
I
haue
kept
his
Commandements
?
Or
shall
wee
runne
vpon
the
way
of
impatience
,
adding
griefe
to
griefe
,
liuing
the
life
of
Caine
,
or
dying
the
death
of
Iudas
,
drowning
our
soules
in
a
gulfe
of
desperation
?
Shall
wee
spend
the
time
in
bannings
,
execrations
,
cursing
the
day
and
night
,
the
earth
that
beareth
vs
,
the
ayre
that
inspireth
vs
?
Not
so
O
Christian
soules
,
call
vpon
the
name
of
the
Lord
with
Dauid
,
there
was
neuer
name
so
worthie
to
be
called
vpon
,
in
heauen
or
earth
,
so
mightie
for
deliuerance
,
so
sure
for
protection
,
so
gainefull
for
successe
,
so
compendious
to
cut
off
vnnecessarie
labours
as
the
name
of
Iehouah
.
Hauing
vnderstood
the
Conscience
,
Psal.
50.
15.
King
Dauids
Physitian
;
by
God
the
sonne
,
who
prescribing
the
remedies
which
men
ought
to
vse
in
the
last
dayes
,
in
which
the
Trinitie
of
punishments
,
famine
,
warres
,
and
pestilence
should
raigne
,
giueth
this
counsell
,
Luk.

Watch
and
pray
continually
;
by
Prophets
,

,
and
wise
men
,
Iam.

and
17
,
23.
Secondly
,
the
practise
of
the
spirituall
Physitians
,
as
they
haue
prescribed
it
,
so
they
haue
also
practised
it
,
and
haue
fled
vnto
this
place
;
to
this
Sanctuarie
went
the
renowned
Patriarkes
,
the
godly
Princes
,
the
holy
Prophets
,
the
blessed
Apostles
,
the
Prince
of
glorie
,
the
sonne
of
the
immortall
God
,
the
constant
Martyrs
:
whose
examples
yee
shall
finde
in
the
store-house
of
the
Scriptures
.
The
example
of
the
bodily
Physitians
,
of
which
some
depart
in
the
time
of
plague
,
hath
much
force
to
make
vs
hasten
our
departure
;
how
much
more
ought
the
practise
of
the
spirituall
physitions
spurre
vs
forward
vpon
our
spirituall
voyage
.
Thirdly
,
the
danger
,
which
is
threefold
,
(
In
nobis
,
circa
nos
,
contra
nos
)
In
vs
,
round
about
vs
,
against
vs
.
In
vs
,
the
plague
of
sinne
:
round
about
vs
,
the
fire
of
the
present
plague
:
against
vs
,
Sathan
who
seeketh
to
make
vs
curse
the
Lord
,
and
the
fire
of
Gods
wrath
and
anger
:
To
auoide
this
threefold
danger
,
runne
to
the
Arke
and
to
this
blessed
Zoar.
The
fourth
motiue
,
is
the
desire
of
life
and
health
;
we
neede
at
this
time
a
double
health
,
the
health
of
the
soule
and
body
:
let
vs
therefore
goe
boldly
vnto
the
throne
of
grace
,
that
wee
may
receiue
mercie
,
and
finde
grace
to
helpe
in
time
of
neede
,
Heb.
4.

Vers.
12.
The
sicknesse
of
the
plague
is
an
issue
of
blood
,
which
being
once
opened
,
will
euer
runne
,
and
keepe
a
course
if
it
bee
not
stanched
by
the
power
and
mercie
of
God
:
which
mercie
is
onely
obtained
,
by
going
vnto
his
sacred
name
:
to
obtaine
this
double
health
,
Dauid
went
vnto
this
place
,
1.
Chron.
21.
that
the
plague
of
his
soule
might
be
healed
,
and
the
bodily
plague
bee
remooued
.
If
we
are
as
it
were
dead
for
sorrow
,
prayer
will
reuiue
vs
,
for
it
is
Vita
animae
,
the
life
of
the
soule
:
and
as
Chrysostome
termeth
it
,
Est
anima
ipsius
animae
.
It
is
the
soule
of
the
soule
.
If
we
goe
into
the
Countrey
which
cannot
saue
vs
;
how
much
more
ought
we
to
flie
to
this
name
,
which
hath
the
power
to
doe
it
:
this
his
power
,
being
acompanied
with
mercie
and
kindnesse
,
for
thou
O
Lord
,
art
good
and
gracious
,
and
of
great
compassion
,
Psal.
86.
Fiftly
,
experience
of
good
successe
,
is
the
last
motiue
,
they
which
haue
fled
to
this
place
,
haue
not
beene
stopped
by
the
way
,
but
haue
had
good
speede
.
Goe
vnto
King
Eezekias
,
Iob
,
Dauid
,
and
the
rest
,
and
they
will
preach
vnto
you
by
experience
,
the
experience
of
this
successe
.
This
successe
is
grounded
vpon
three
things
,
as
vpon
three
firme
pillars
,
the
power
,
the
will
and
promise
,
the
goodnesse
and
mercie
of
God
.
His
power
,
I
haue
heard
it
that
power
belongeth
vnto
God
,
Psal.

There
was
neuer
affliction

but
the
hand
of

Physitian
hath
beene
able
to
master
it
,
the
least
finger
of
his
right
hand
being
of

puissance

then

vnto
that
Philip

who
answered
vnto

comming

I

,
(
vnto
which
also
shee
answered
iustly
,
then
bee
not
a
King
any
longer
)
for
seeing
that
he
hath
promised
it
,
he
is
also
willing
,
his
promise
being
signed
with
the
finger
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
sealed
with
the
blood
of
his
beloued
and
annoynted
.

is

vnto
him

behold
how
this

is
changed
,
Adoniah
hath
spoken
this
word
against
his
owne
life
;
of
the
Lords
promise
wee
neede
not
doubt
,

with
Dauid
boldly
we
may
speake
,
Psal.

In
the
day
of
my
trouble
I
will
call
vpon
thee
,
for
thou
wilt
heare

Thirdly
,
His
goodnesse
,
mercie
,
and
liberalitie
,
which
is
so
great
that
he
giueth
meate
to
the
yong
rauens
which
call
vpon
him
,
Psal.
147.

Doubt
not
then
,
but
that
hee
will
heare

supplications
of
men

whom
he
hath
made

little
lower
then
the
Angels
,
to
crowne
them
with
glorie
aboue

Let
therefore
,
saith
Augustine

thy
prayer
ascend

and
Gods
mercie

descend

shall
wee
distrust
his
goodnesse
,
who
is
rich
to
all
that
call
vpon
him
?
Rom.

Or
shall
we
suspect
his
bountifulnesse
,
which
powreth
out
plentifully
his
blessings
vpon
all
flesh
?
Rom.
8.
32.
And
although
wee
haue
offended
him
,
yet
our
offences
will
not
stop
his
mercies
.
Men
,
when
they
haue
done
any
good
turne
to
any
,
if
they
bee
neuer
so
little
offended
,
they
cast
men
in
the
teeth
with
the
benefits
they
haue
done
them
,
and
vpbraide
them
with
the
good
turnes
they
haue
shewed
;
wherefore
men
are
loath
to
make
request
to
such
for
any
thing
:
If
wee
goe
vnto
the
Lord
,
we
shal
not
meete
with
one
that
is
of
such
a
disposition
and
nature
:
Psal
103
▪
9.
The
willingnesse
,
mercie
,
and
goodnesse
of
the
Prince
to
haue
vs
,
maketh
vs
also
willing
to
goe
to
him
;
who
more
willing
,
then
he
that
is
our
Father
,
our
Sauiour
,
then
he
that
hath
suffered
for
vs
,
scoffings
,
spittings
,
bands
,
stripes
,
and
death
it selfe
?
Neuer
lap
of
the
mother
hath
beene
so
open
to
her
babes
,
as
the

Harken
to
this

yee

this
comfort
,
that
he
hath
deliuered
,
he
doth
deliuer
,
hee
yet
will
and
can
deliuer
.
I
ende
this
point
with
the
13.

▪
and
15.
verses
of
the
10.
Chapter
of
the
Epistle
to
the
Romanes
:
wherein
behold
a
singular
and
compendious
gradation
.
As
they
that
would
come
to
King
Salomon
sitting
vpon
his
throne
,
were
faine
to
runne
vp
sixe
staires
(
for
his
throne
was
mounted
vnto
by
sixe
staires
)
so
the
perfection
and
consummation
of
man
going
to
the
throne
of
the
true
Salomon
Iesus
Christ
ascendeth
and
ariseth
by
sixe
degrees
:
the
highest
and
the
happiest
staires
being
,
inuocating
and
sauing
,
prayer
and
deliuerance
.
These
are
then
the
fiue
reasons
,
by
which
wise
Christians
ought
to
bee
guided
.
I
imitate
King
Dauid
,
onely
resorting
to
the
wings
of
the
Lords
fauour
.
And
herein
we
should
be
wise
,
if
we
leuell
our
hearts
and
affections
at
the
very
right
center
and
marke
of
prayer
(
which
is
the
name
of
Iehouah
alone
)
and
the
period
or
scope
in
whom
our
requests
must
end

of
Arte

or
to

all
helpes
faile
them

and
that
the
Lord
sendeth
his
Sergiant
and
heauenly
Pursiphant
to
arrest
them
,
then
they
returne
to
runne
to
this
place
.
What
name
shall
wee
giue
you
(
O
yee
of
little
faith
)
but
the
name
of
weake
Christians
?
Put
not
your
trust
in
the
sonne
of
man
,
for
there
is
no
helpe
in
him
,
Psal.
146.
There
is
a
second
sort
,
which
runne
onely
to
the
ordinarie
creatures
,
deriding
the
name
of
Iehouah
,
yea
denying
that
there
euer
hath
beene
,
or
is
yet
at
this
present
,
such
a
place
to
be
found
,
wherevnto
the
righteous
is
preserued
,
such
as
Dauid
describeth
in
the
10.
Psalme
,
3.
4.
Which
seeke
not
God
,
but
contemne
him
,
and
thinke
they
shall
neuer
be
mooued
.
O
yee
meere
Atheists
,
what
name
deserue
you
,
but
that
name
,
which
the
Lord
himselfe
giueth
you
,
Psal.
14.
1.
the
name
of
fooles
.
If
Cain
hath
bene
reiected
,
because
he
offered
an
vnworthie
sacrifice
,
what
deserue
they
that
offer
none
at
all
?
The
third
sort
runne
to
a
place
,
whose
name
is
Hell
,
seeking
to
Sathan
and
his
artes
,
gadding
to
the
woman
of
Endor
,
or
to
the
Idoll
of
Ekron
,
a
Saul
,
a
Nero
,
a
Iulian
:
Returne
,
returne
,
O
yee
wretched
and
bewitched
sonnes
of
men
,
with
the
name
of
diuellish
idolaters
.
The
fourth
sort
,
seeketh
to
dwell
vnder
the
protection
and
assurance
of
their
merites
and
good
workes
:
but
these
alas
,
as
Bernard
writeth
on
the
91.
Psalme
,
are
ill
lodged
and
haue
a
poore
Tabernacle
,
the
diuell
hath
soone
blowen
that
away
.
The
last
sort
,
are
the
superstitious
Papists
,
who
in
the
time
of
plague
runne
to
the
house
of
the
Spider
to
bee
preserued
,
to
stickes
and
stones
,
mettals
and
papers
,
Angels
and
Saints
,
and
principally
to
Saint
Sebastian
,
for
as
euery
sicknesse
and
disease
hath
his
Apothecarie
and
Physitian
among
them
:
So
the
plague
hath
Saint
Sebastian
,
vnto
whome
with
their
families
they
runne
to
bee
preserued
.
That
execrable
Psalter
of
the
Virgine
Marie
,
compiled
by
them
,
maketh
her
to
be
this
secret
place
wherevnto
wee
ought
to
runne
:
the
prayer
of
Dauid
which
hee
made
being
visited
with
the
plague
,
Psal.
38.
is
abused
in
this
maner
.
O
Lady
rebuke
me
not
in
thine
anger
,
neither
chastise
me
in
thy
wrath
:
The
91.
Psalme
is
in
like
maner
abused
,
Who
so
dwelleth
in
the
secret
of
the
blessed
Virgin
,
&c.
But
O
ye
blind
seducers
of
soules
,
it
may
be
first
a
challenge
vnto
you
all
,
that
neither
Dauid
,
Iob
or
Ezechias
visited
with
the
plague
went
to
Cherub
or
Seraphin
,
Gabriel
or
Raphael
,
Abraham
or
Moses
:
whome
haue
I
in
heauen
but
thee
,
saith
Dauid
:
he
saith
not
,
that
hee
had
a
Moses
or
a
Samuel
:
haue
all
these
erred
?
Euen
so
will
wee
with
them
.
Secondly
,
yee
goe
to
them
that
cannot
helpe
you
,
let
them
arise
,
if
they
can
helpe
you
in
the
time
of
your
miserie
,
Iere.

a
woman
crying
to
the
King
,
helpe

O
King
,
hee
answered
,
seeing
the
Lord
doeth
not
succour
thee
,
how
should
I
helpe
thee
?
Concluding
secondly
,
that
if
the
Lord
withdraw
his
helping
hand
,
it
lieth
not
in
the
power
of
mortall
man
to
helpe
.
So
wee
may
answere
the
Papists
crying
in
the
time
of
plague
to
their
Sebastian
,
helpe
and
aide
vs
Saint
Sebastian
.
If
it
lieth
not
in
the
power
of
mortall
men
that
are
liuing
with
vs
to
helpe
,
how
much
lesse
can
they
that
are
dead
?
And
farre
lesse
,
one
that
perhaps
hath
neuer
beene
?
As
for
the
Angels
,
they
are
displeased
that
yee
come
to
them
,
to
thrust
vpon
them
such
a
dangerous
honour
:
they
may
say
as
Dauid
,
Psal.
115.
Not
vnto
vs
O
Lord
,
not
vnto
vs
,
&c.
they
that
refused
a
farre
smaller
offer
vpon
the
earth
,
(
See
thou
doo
it
not
)
will
bee
much
more
discontented
,
to
see
the
knees
of
the
heart
to
stoupe
to
them
for
the
ceasing
of
the
plague
:
for
although
an
Angel
smote
seuentie
thousand
in
the
time
of
Dauid
,
yet
he
was
but
the
instrument
,
God
onely
the
agent
,
and
therefore
he
onely
to
bee
prayed
vnto
.
If
the
Papists
reply
that
they
intreate
onely
Saint
Sebastian
to
speake
vnto
God
for
them
;
Exod.
18.
to
Moses
,
the
things
is
too
heauie
for
thee
,
thou
art
not
able
to
doo
it
thy selfe
alone
:
for
the
Almightie
is
able
to
doo
it
alone
,
neither
is
there
any
defect
in
his
hearing
,
whose
eares
are
open
to
the
prayers
of
the
poore
.
Let
vs
therefore
hold
Christ
Iesus
alone
for
the
Maister
of
requests
,
it
is
he
onely
that
can
present
our
requests
which
wee
make
vnto
the
Lord
for
the
ceasing
of
the
plague
:
let
others
runne
where
they
will
,
to
stickes
and
stones
from
the
name
of
the
Lord
:
I
doo
you
no
iniurie
to
impute
this
to
you
,
for
as
Hillarie
writet
vpon
the
first
Psalme
,
It
is
as
great
an
offence
to
make
a
new
,
as
to

the
true

.
The
Lord
annoynt
your
eyes
with
his
eye-sal●●
,
that
ye
may
returne

the
name

As
for

wee
will
follow
the
holy

Three
things
prooue
the
safenes
of
this
place
:
First
,
the
name
of
the
place
,
it
is
A
strong
t●wre
,
Prou.
18.
10.
A
secret
place
,
Psal.
32.
7.
A
rocke
and
fortresse
,
Psal.
18.
which
is
inuincible
.
Such
are
not
the
fortresses
of
mortall
men
,
which
they
are
constrained
to
render
vp
,
being
driuen
therevnto
either
by
famine
,
or
force
,
as
Seba
in
the
time
of
Dauid
hereof
is
a
witnesse
.
Secondly
,
the
Lord
of
the
soyle
,
which
inhabiteth
that
place
,
his
name
is
Iehouah
:
the
Almightie
,
Psal.
91.
1.
the
strong
and
inuincible
God
,
who
will
and
is
able
to
preserue
vs
.
Thirdly
,
it
is
prooued
by
the
successe
of
those
who
runne
to
it
,
and
by
that
which
they
receiue
,
they
are
(
exalted
,
preserued
or
deliuered
,
saith
Salomon
)
which
Dauid
acknowledgeth
,
Psal
32.
7.
and
is
confirmed
by
the
successe
of
Dauids
prayer
,
2.
Sam
24.

and
the
plague
ceased
from
Israel
.
Comfortable
is
the
saying
of
Dauid
,
Psal.
91
▪
3.
15
,
16.
in
which
,
sixe
things
prooue
the
happie
successe
of
the
righteous
that
runneth
vnto
it
.
First
,
Gods
ready
answere
:
Secondly
,
his
presence
:
Thirdly
,
his
deliuerance
:
Fourthly
,
his
aduancement
to
honour
:
Fiftly
,
length
of
dayes
:
Sixtly
,
fruition
of
saluation
:
O
the
excellent
riches
,
pleasures
,
and
ioyes
which
the
righteous
there
shall
enioy
.
As
Lot
there
fled
vnto
little
Zoar
to
bee
preserued
from
the
fire
of
Sodome
:
Dauid
,
Psal.
18.
2.
neuer
haue
there
beene
holes
in
the
rockes
so
open
for
the
doues
,
as
the
name
of
Iehouah
for
the
righteous
soules
.
There
are
two
renowned
places
mentioned
by
Plinie
,
Locris
,
and
Crotone
,
where
the
plague
was
neuer
,
as
he
writeth
lib
1.
cap.
96.
and
without
doubt
many
resorted
thither
:
but
although
we
should
flie
at
this
day
to
Locris
and
Crotone
,
if
we
carrie
within
vs
the
plague
of
sinne
,
the
inward
cause
of
the
bodilie
contagion
,
we
haue
no
warrant
to
bee
safegarded
.
But
me
thinkes
I
heare
a
controuersie
:
Non
secundum
voluntatem
sed
sanitatem
,
not
according
to
his
will
,
but
according
to
his
health
:
and
so
the
Lord
dealeth
with
his
patients
.
Fourthly

Fiftly

Neuer
a
cittie
of
refuge
so
free
for
all
manner
of
transgressions
:
hither
may
come
the
King
and
the
subiect
,
the
rich
and
the
poore
,
the
learned
and
the
vnlearned
,
the
merchant
and
the
tradesman
:
the
sound
and
the
sicke
,
yea
the
infected
with
the
plague
.
In
the
time
of
infection
,
it
is
not
lawfull
for
them
that
dwell
where
the
contagion
raigneth
,
to
come
vnto
the
princes
court
,
they
are
forbidden
by
proclamation
to
resort
thither
.
But
the
court
of
heauen
is
open
for
all
men
,
yea
for
the
infected
,
for
they
cannot
infect
the
court
of
heauen
:
50.
Psal
.
that
we
should
resort
thither
,
and
the
prince
of
glorie
Iesus
Christ
who
keepeth
his
residence
there
,
will
not
keepe
vs
backe
.
If
the
prince
had
made
a
proclamation
that
the
infected
should
resort
to
his
court
to
be
healed
,
who
would
not
hasten
thither
?
It
was
not
lawfull
for
all
men
to
come
to
the
inner
court
of
King
Assuerus
;
Luc.
12.
Further
in
time
of
contagion
,
not
only
the
court
,
but
also
the
other
citties
,
townes
and
villages
,
will
not
often
lodge
them
that
come
from
contagious
places
,
either
the
Lord
of
the
soile
,
or
the
magistrate
of
those
places
forbidding
it
;
but
as
for
that
heauenly
Ierusalem
,
and
the
Lord
of
the
liuing
,
thervnto
euery
one
may
resorte
,
the
Lord
and
magistrate
of
heauen
doeth
not
interdict
it
.
Dauid
cried
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
said
,
thou
art
my
portion
in
the
land
of
the
liuing
.
Psal.
142.
5.
At
Roome
the
housen
of
the
Aediles
,
were
alwaies
open
for
all
men
,
that
they
might
resort
thither
,
to
haue
their
causes
heard
:
and
so
is
the
house
of
the
Lord
for
the
afflicted
soules
.
In
some
places
there
are
appointed
(
as
I
my selfe
haue
seene
)
watchmenwith
halbards
,
to
aske
the
passengers
from
whence
they
come
,
and
sometimes
to
keepe
out
those
that
come
from
infected
places
,
but
in
our
going
to
this
place
,
we
neede
not
to
haue
such
feare
,
for
as
Chrysostome
saith
,
Hic
non
est
miles
assistens
qui
expellat
,
here
there
is
no
Sergiant
or
soldier
to
keepe
thee
out
.
If
the
citties
of
the
earth
shut
their
gates
before
thee
,
thou
canst
not
enter
.
As
for
that
heauenly
Ierusalem
,
it
is
not
lockt
,
and
although
it
were
,
prayer
as
Augustine
speaketh
is
a
key
to
open
heauen
,
and
to
bring
thee
to
the
presence
of
God

the
towne
and
villages
in
times
of
infection
although
they
receiue
some
,
yet
they
will
not
harbour
manie
:
and
often
there
is
no
place
for
multitudes
:
but
so
is
it
not
with
the
name
of
Iehouah
,
with
this
strong
tower
,
it
is
not
like
vnto
the
bulwarkes
of
mortall
men
,
into
the
which
if
too
manie
enter
,
they
will
hinder
one
another
;
this
fortresse
can
receiue
millions
and
millions
without
any
impediment
.
Further
the
temple
is
also
interdicted
to
the
infected
,
for
they
are
commanded
by
the
magistrate
to
keepe
their
housen
for
a
time
,
or
if
they
come
,
they
are
entreated
to
sitte
aside
:
but
the
Lords
holy
temple
aboue
in
heauen
,
is
not
forbidden
vnto
the
infected
,
nor
to
any
man
:
it
is
lawfull
for
them
to
goe
thither
and
pray
,
and
that
with
the
successe
of
Dauid
,
Psal.

In

I

time
of

in
our
going
to
the
name
of
the
Lord

nothing
will
stop

the
bodily
plague
shall
be
no
impediment

for
wee
haue
a

that
we
may

therefore
it

Lastly

Further
,
Comra
nos
,
against
vs
.
In
the
going
to
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
wee
must
not
imitate
the
negligence
of
many
,
who
depart
into
the
Countrey
,
and
care
onely
for
themselues
;
as
for
their
families
,
or
at
least
their
seruants
,
they
are
not
once
mindfull
of
them
:
but
wee
must
as
well
carrie
with
vs
in
our
prayers
,
the
seruants
which
are
vnder
vs
,
as
shee
that
lieth
in
our
bosome
:
And
the
Oliue
plants
which
are
round
about
our
tables
,
Psal.

The
Athenians
would
offer
sacrifice
,
but
onely
for
their
owne
Citie
,
and
their
neighbours
of
Chios
:
but
wee
Christians
must
pray
,
not
onely
for
the
mother
Citie
,
but
for
all
the
daughters
:
Christ
teaching
vs
to
say
,
Our

If
the
prayer

righteous

auaileth
much

the
prayer

auile

Yee
of
the
sect
of
Rome
,
diuide
not
at
this
time
of
the
plague
in
your
prayers
,
the
soule
,
the
voice
and
language
of
the
Countrey
into
two
places
:
Elias
and
his
companie
,
praying
in
one
place
and
with
one
stile
:
O
Lord
God
of
Abraham
,
and
yee
in
another
:
O
Baal
heale
vs
:
Some
praying
for
the
life
of
Dauid
,
and
some
for
the
life
of
Iabin
.
As
for
vs
,
we
will
pray
for
the
Lords
annoynted
,
that
God
may
hide
him
vnder
the
shadow
of
his
wings
from
the
noysome
pestilence
,
knowing
that
this
is
one
of
the
parts
of
our
obedience
towards
him
,
that
we
(
as
Constantine
the
great
taught
his
souldiers
to
shew
their
allegiance
in
nothing
more
then
this
)
should
pray
for
him
,
his
children
and
posteritie
.
I
end
this
point
,
with
the
saying
of
an
ancient
Father
:
That
there
is
no
better
garde
,
or
Halbards
to
safegard
a
Prince
,
then
the
prayers
of
the
righteous

I

the
third
branch

the
Lord

My

T
is
the
commandement
of
the
Lord
to
call
vpon
him
in
the
time
of
neede
,
Psal.
50.
Which
must
be
performed
with
speede
,
according
to
the
example
of
Dauid
,
Psal
119.
I
will
runne
the
wayes
of
thy
Commandements
.
If
we
make
haste
to
flie
into
the
Countrey
,
and
forget
to
goe
speedily
vnto
this
Sanctuarie
:
it
is
as
Augustine
speaketh
of
another
matter
,
Cursus
celerrimus
praeter
viam
:
A
swift
race
besides
the
way
.
Haste
in
this
matter
is
prayse
worthie
,
and
a
man
can
neuer
run
too
fast
that
runneth
to
this
place
.
The
delay
that
Elizeus
made
,
let
mee
goe
kisse
my
Father
;
and
those
shifts
in
the
Gospel
:
Let
me
first
goe
burie
my
mother
,
or
take
leaue
of
my
friends
,
are
not
admitted
in
this
businesse
:
commune
not
therefore
with
flesh
and
blood
.
If
in
the
time
of
plague
,
we
make
such
haste
to
depart
,
before
we
haue
ordained
our
businesse
aright
,
or
bad
our
friends
farewell
:
How
much
more
ought
wee
to
hasten
our
spirituall
voyage
?
While
the
fal-bridge
is
let
downe
,
let
vs
make
speede
to
enter
.
Many
,
because
they
went
not
farre
,
not
made
speed
to
depart
,
haue
endangered
their
bodies
,
but
many
more
,
because
they
fled
not
from
the
contagion
of
sinne
with
speede
,
haue
endangered
their
soules
:
and
therefore
as
the
Apostle
speaketh
,
1.
Cor.
9.
of
another
matter
,
so
I
may
say
of
this
going
:
So
runne
that
yee
may
obtaine
.
The
third
rule
is
,
Ephe.

Thes.
5.
Pray
continually
,
&c.
As
it
is
prescribed
,
Luk.

and
our
importunitie
will
draw
him
vnto
audience
:
but
yet
let
vs
hold
a
better
opinion
of
the
iudge
of
the
world
,
then
of
a
common
vulgar
friend
.
It
delighted
his
eares
to
heare
our
redoubled
obsecrations
,
and
he
suspendeth
our
desires
in
expectation
,
that
we
should
be
importunate
to
craue
.

Reg.

who
cried
long
to
Baal
:
yea
cut
themselues
with
kniues
that
they
might
be
heard
:
and
what
ought
not
wee
then
doo
to
obtaine
our
suite
?
Let
nothing
then
mooue
vs
to
returne
:
but
as
the
King
of
the
Philistines
,
1.
Sam
6.
though
they
had
Calues
at
home
,
yet
they
kept
the
straight
way
to
Bethshemesh
,
and
held
one
path
:
turning
neither
to
the
right
,
nor
to
the
left
hand
;
neither
euer
stood
still
,
till
they
came
into
the
field
of
Iosuah
.
So
in
our
going
to
the
name
of
Iehouah
,
the
affection
of
our
soules
bearing
the
Arke
and
coffer
of
our
suites
,
though
it
hath
worldly
allurements
to
draw
it
backe
,
as
the
Kine
had
Calues
:
yet
let
it
in
the
way
to
the
house
of
God
,
as
they
to
Bethshemesh
,
hold
one
path
of
perseuerance
,
turning
neither
to
the
right
or
left
hand
with
wandring
cogitations
,
till
it
commeth
into
the
field
and
garden
of
God
,
and
there
let
it
remaine
.
Many
hauing
not
continued
in
the
Countrey
,
in
their
hastie
returning
are
fallen
sicke
,
There
followeth
now
the
third
and
the
last
,
which
openeth
vnto
vs
the
houshold-stuffe
which
we
must
carrie
with
vs
thither
noted
in
the
word
(
Righteous

)
As
they
which
go
in
the
country
in
the
time
of
plague
,
carie
with
them
their
houshold-stuffe
,
their
furniture
,
&
those
things
which
are
necessarie
for
their
bodies
,
and
as
Noah
entring
the
arke
carried
with
him
necessaries
;
so
likwise
in
our
going
to
this
place
,
we
must
carrie
with
vs
those
things
which
are
necessarie
for
our
soules
,
that
we
may
be
receiued
by
the
Lord
of
that
soyle
,
and
without
which
wee
can
not
goe
thither
.
There
are
fiue
peeces
of
spiritual
houshold-stuffe
which
are
necessary
for
vs
,
noted
in
the
word
Righteous

The
first
is
Repentance
and
holines
of
life

As
they
which
goe
in

countrey
haue
their
reasons
why
they
carrie
with
them
such
and
such
necessaries
:
So
giue
me
leaue
in
the
opening
of
this
furniture
,
to
shew
you
also
the
reasons
which
must
moue
vs
to
carie
them
with
vs
.
Psal.
11.

His
eies
are
vpon
the
righteous
,
and
his
eares
open
to
their
crye
,
but
his
face
is
against
them
that
doe
euill
,
to
cut
off
their
remembrance
from
the
earth
,
Psal.

therefore

he
will
drawe
neere
to
you
:
cleanse
your
handes
ye
sinners
,
Iam.

8.
9.
The
third
is
,
that
the
bodily
plague
may
cease
,
for
how
dare
we
approach
vnto
the
Lord
,
to
craue
that
it
might
be
remooued
,
and
yet
carie
with
vs
the
inward
cause
thereof
:
let
the
Physitions
maxime
heere
preuaile
,
remooue
the
cause
,
that
the
effect
may
cease
.
Let
vs
not
as
the
sonnes
of
Iacob
,
bring
into
the
presence
of
our
father
,
Iacob
Gen.
43.
exhorted
his
sonnes
,
when
they
were
going
to
Ioseph
,
carrie
with
you
the
best
fruites
of
the
land
and
giue
them
him
:
so
let
vs
in
our
going
to
to
the
true
Ioseph
Iesus
Christ
,
carrie
with
vs
the
best
fruites
of
our
hearts
to
offer
vp
the
sacrifice
of
our
prayers
,
our
corrupt
affections
,
as
Abraham
left
behinde
him
at
the
foote
of
the
hill
his
asses
I
conclude
this
first
point
with
the
saying
of
Chrysostome
,
as
in
a
garland
,
it
is
not
enough
that
the
flowers
bee
pure
and
cleane
,
but
the
hand
also
which
handleth
them
:
so
it
is
not
sufficient
that
the
words
of
our
prayers
be
holy
,
but
the
heart
also
which
conceiueth
them
.
The
second
piece
of
houshold-stuffe
is
(
Faith
)
for
the
righteous
is
also
hee
that
beleeueth
in
Christ
,
Iam

6.
Let
him
aske
in
faith
and
wauer
not
.
And
in
the
fourth
to
the
Hebr.
16.
that
we
should
goe
boldely
to
the
throne
of
grace
:
drawing
neere
vnto
him
with
a
true
heart
in
assurance
of
faith
,
Heb.

22.
casting
not
away
that
confidence
which
hath
great
recompence
of
reward

Mar.

Secondly
,
carrie
it
with
thee
,
that
thou
maist
receiue
that
,
for
which
thou
goest
vnto
him
faithfully
.
Psal
145.

And
whatsoeuer
yee
shall
aske
in

if
yee

shall

this
,
there

going
thither

But
as
righteousnes
and
trueth
kisse
each
other
,
so
must
prayer
and
faith
,
which
is
the
ground
of
prayer
:
first
beleeue
,
and
then
speake
,
this
was
the
order
of
Dauid
,
Psal.
116.
this
faith
will
make
vs
acceptable
to
the
Lord
of
that
soile
,
and
make
vs
finde
fauour
at
his
hands
.
Faith
is
a
beautifull
queene
,
as
highly
fauored
of
the
King
of
Kings
,
as
euer
Esther
was
of
King
Assuerus
:
she
shall
not
be
stayed
without
at
the
gate
,
but
with
an
humble
presumption
,
may
approach
into
the
inner
court
,
and
shall
receiue
her
request
:
for
if
we
shall
receiue
a
Kingdome
,
Luc.
12.
how
much
more
that
which
is
lesse
,
being
asked
by
faith
?
come
not
then
without
this
aduocate
.
Cyprian
,
in
his
treatise
de
Idol
vanit
,
sayeth
,
(
speaking
how
hee
and
his
brethren
did
much
good
in
the
visitation
of
the
sicke
)
prout
fides
patientis
adiuuat
,
aut
gratia
curantis
aspirat
,
that
he
prospered
according
as
they
and
the
patient
had
faith
to
speake
vnto
God
:
the
greatest
enemie
to
the
efficacie
of
our
prayer
is
distrustfulnes
.
And
therefore
God
forbid
saith
Augustine
that
what
we
desire
God
to
doe
for
vs
with
our
mouthes
we
should
deny
him
to
be
able
to
doe
in
our
hearts
.
Es.
26.
2.
that
the
righteous
nation
which
keepeth
faith
,
may
enter
in
.
Faith
is
as
a
key
that
openeth
vnto
vs
the
gates
of
the
cittie
.
Thirdly
,
this
furniture
is
necessarie
for
the
feete
which
must
beare
vs
thither
,
that
they
may
be
firme
,
stedfast
,
and
faile
vs
not
in
the
way
:
the
moisture
and
iuice
whereby
the
spiritual
feet
of
our
prayers
are
nourished
,
is
faith
.
By
faith
yee
stand
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
2.
Cor.
1.
It
is
the
roote
that
beareth
vs
,
the
legges
and
supporters
,
and
the
strong
men
that
hold
vs
vp
that
we
fall
not
.
As
the
Doues
nest
is
the
cleftes
of
rockes
that
cannot
be
assaulted
,
so
faith
resteth
it selfe
in
the
wounds
of
Christ
,
it
casteth
an
anchor
in
knowledge
of
the
true
God
,
and
standeth
as
firme
,
as
mount
Sion
that
cannot
be
remooued
.
Fourthly
,
we
must
carrie
it
with
vs
,
that
we
may
liue
:
why
doe
wee
with
our
houshold-stuffe
goe
into
the
Countrey
,
but
because
we
are
desirous
of
life
?
If
in
the
going
to
the
name
of
Iehouah
for
remission
of
sinne
and
spirituall
life
,
and
for
the
remoouing
of
the
effect
of
sinne
the
bodily
contagion
,
we
are
desirous
of
it
,
we
must
not
forget
this
furniture
,
for
by
Faith
we
liue
,
Abac.

It
is
the
life
of
the
soule
,
and
the
soule
and
spirit
of
the
new
man
.
Wee
may
haue
a
name
that
wee
liue
,
but
indeede
wee
are
dead
to
God-ward
,
if
wee
beleeue
not
:
doubting
then
neither
of
might
,
mercie
,
or
of
his
promise
,
because
they
are
passed
by
couenant
,
oath
,
before
vnmooueable
witnesses
,
the
best
in
heauen
,
and
the
best
in
earth
,
and
because
they
are
signed
with
the
finger
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
sealed
with
the
blood
of
his
annoynted
and
beloued
,
let
vs
with
a
holy
confidence
runne
to
this
place
in
this
afflicted
time
of
the
contagion
,
that
we
may
receiue
mercie
.
The
third
peece
necessarie
for
our
voyage
,
is
(
Humilitie
)
which
excludeth
all
opinion
of
our
owne
worthinesse
and
righteousnesse
.
(
I
besech
you
)
a
proper
terme
of
submission
,
and
the
poore
surers
phrase
.
Secondly
,
out
of
his
bodily
prostrating
of
himselfe
in
sacke-cloath
with
the
Elders
of
Israel
,

Herein
let
vs
in
this
time
of
plague
imitate
King
Dauid
in
our
going
to
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
carrying
with
vs
this
ornament
,
this
submission
and
lowlynesse
:
let
vs
vse
the
poore
suters
phrase
,
and
not
pride
of
speech
:
saying
,
we
are
worthie
O
Lord
:
let
vs
not
goe
thither
to
bragge
,
as
many
runne
into
the
Countrey
to
dominire
;
but
let
vs
pray
that
the
Lord
will
giue
vs
with
vs
this
submission
,
that
we
may
bow
not
only
the
knees
of
our
bodies
,
but
of
our
hearts
:
yea
,
that
wee
may
euen
bow
the
very
phrase
of
our
words
with
Dauid
,
that
wee
may
vtter
them
as
if
the
smallest
Grashopper
of
the
earth
were
to
speake
with
feare
and
reuerence
before
that
dreadfull
Maiestie
.
Three
things
must
mooue
vs
to
carrie
it
with
vs
in
this
our
voyage
:
First
,
the
person
to
whome
we
goe
,
his
greatnesse
,
excellencie
,
Maiestie
,
his
glorious
name
which
is
Ieuouah
.
It
was
the
counsel
that
Aesope
gaue
to
Solon
,
enquiring
what
speech
he
should
vse
before
Craesus
:
either
very
little
,
or
very
sweete
,
said
he
.
If
when
we
goe
to
the
Princes
of
the
earth
,
who
are
but
smoake
and
vanitie
,
wee
speake
with
humilitie
much
more
doth
the
presence
of
the
most
high
God
require
it
.
Secondly
,
the
consideration
of
our
owne
persons
which
doe
goe
thither
:
the
conscience
of
our
owne
vnworthinesse
,
and
deformitie
of
sinne
wherwith
we
are
spotted
:
let
vs
then
with
Abraham
speaking
to
the
Lord
,
Esa
66.
2.
which
hee
will
not
despise
,
Psal.
51.
17.
for
hee
is
neere
vnto
them
that
are
of
a
contrite
heart
,
and
will
saue
such
as
bee
afflicted
in
spirit
,
Psal.
34.
18.
The
prayer
of
him
that
humbleth
himselfe
,
goeth
through
the
clouds
:
the
Lords
mercie
can
onely
giue
vs
the
twofold
health
which
we
sue
for
at
this
time
:
now
this
mercie
to
whome
doth
hee
giue
it
,
but
to
the
humble
?
1.
Pet.
5.
Humilitie
is
both
grace
it selfe
,
and
a
vessel
to
comprehend
other
graces
:
and
shee
emptying
her selfe
by
a
modest
estimation
of
her
owne
gifts
,
is
filled
againe
by
the
Lord
.
Let
vs
now
beloued
as
it
were
striue
by
humilitie
with
the
Lord
,
according
to
the
policie
of
Iacob
:
Let
vs
winne
by
yeelding
,
and
the
lower
wee
stoupe
towards
the
ground
,
the
more
aduantage
wee
shall
get
to
obtaine
.
The
Lord
to
whom
we
goe
,
if
this
humilitie
bee
in
vs
,
will
both
dwell
with
vs
and
in
vs
.
O
Lord
,
saith
Austine
,
how
high
art
thou
,
and
yet
the
humble
of
heart
,
are
thine
houses
to
dwell
in
:
I
he
proude
Pharisie
,
Luk.
18
▪
went
vnto
the
Lord
without
his
furniture
,
praying
with
pride
and
with
a
skornefull
demonstration
,
and
therefore
returned
not
iustified
as
the
Publican
.
O
that
we
had
not
for
the
most
part
of
vs
all
such
Pharisaicall
eye-browes
,
whether
wee
talke
with
God
or
man
,
that
we
might
heare
that
comfortable
voice
which
was
spoken
vnto
Daniel
,
Feare
not
,
for
from
the
first
day
that
thou
didest
humble
thy selfe
before
thy
God
,
thy
words
were
heard
.
Let
vs
therefore
vse
to
conclude
this
point
:
this
humble
stile
of
Dauid
,
it
hath
beene
the
stile
of
a
King
:
and
although
it
seemeth
inglorious
,
yet
it
hath
beene
the
stile
of
the
glorious
Saints
of
God
:
it
will
giue
vs
the
honour
of
Saints
,
and
raise
vs
from
the
dust
,
set
vs
vpon
the
thrones
,
and
if
it
please
the
Lord
to
take
vs
away
by
the
plague
,
it
will
place
vs
with
Angels
:
let
vs
not
then
brethren
forget
it
,
that
the
anger
of
the
Lord
may
cease
,
and
that
with
ioy
hereafter
wee
may
sing
with
Marie
in
her
Canticle
,
Luk.

He
hath
regarded
the
lowlinesse
of

handmaide

The
fourth
peece
of
houshold-stuffe
,
is
Reuerence
,
deuotion
,
Eccle

Bee
not
rash
with
thy
mouth
,
nor
let
thine
heart
bee
hastie
to
vtter
a
thing
before
God
.
Our
prayers
must
not
bee
a
formall
seruice
onely
,
but
the
sighes
of
our
soules
must
bee
sent
with
an
earnest
message
to
the
eares
of
God
:
they
must
not
bee
perfunctorie
and
cold
,
rather
of
custome
then
of
deuotion
:
for
a
prayer
from
fained
lips
,
wil
returne
emptie
into
the
bosome
that
sent
it
vp
.
When
wee
goe
to
this
place
,
let
vs
not
goe
,
as
if
our
soules
and
tongues
were
strangers
,
the
one
not
knowing
what
the
other
doth
:
our
lips
babling
without
,
and
our
heart
not
pricked
with
any
inward
compunction
,
for
else
it
is
as
the
altar
without
fire
:
a
perfunctorie
prayer
,
is
as
the
prayer
of
the
Parret
.
Iohannes
Fridericus
the
Prince
of
Saxonia
,
had
a
Parret
who
could
rehearse
the
Latine
Pater
noster
.
Cardinall
Ascanius
had
another
,
who
reiected
the
Creede
,
representing
perhaps
the
faith
and
praying
of
his
Maister
.
What
are
the
carelesse
deuotions
of
those
,
who
leaue
their
spirits
as
is
were
in
a
slumber
while
they
are
a
praying
▪
but
like
vnto
those
two
Parrets
babbling
:
as
they
must
bee
deuote
,
so
must
they
bee
feruent
,
kindled
by
a
burning
zeale
,
inflamed
with
feruent
loue
:
and
as
the
Harts
bray
after
the
water
brookes
,
For
the
prayer
of
a
righteous
man
auaileth
much
,
&c.
if

feruent
,
Iam

If
wee
are
desirous
to
know
the
necessitie
of
this
zeale
and
feruencie
,
receiue
these
directions
following
.
First
,
the
example
of
Christ
biddeth
vs
goe
thither
with
this
zeale
:
Christians
receiue
directions
for
the
framing
of
this
holy
exercise
from
Christ
,
who
offered
vp
prayers
with
strong
crying
and
teares
,
Heb.
5.
he
that
was
the
mightie
Lyon
of
the
Tribe
of
Iudah
hath
roared
in
his
supplications
.
Secondly
,
the
spirit
of
God
biddeth
vs
goe
thither
with
zeale
,
for
he
maketh
requests
in
our
names
with
grones
not
to
be
expressed
,
Rom.
8.
Thirdly
,
the
Maiestie
of
the
sacred
Lord
of
Hosts
,
to
whom
we
flie
:
the
royaltie
of
his
nature
sublimitie
of
his
place
,
dominion
ouer
Angels
,
biddeth
vs
goe
thither
with
zeale
.
Fourthly
,
the
view
of
our
moralitie
and
of
our
sinne
,
by
which
wee
haue
caused
the
Lords
destroying
Angel
,
biddeth
vs
to
goe
thither
with
zeale
.
Lastly
,
the
hope
and
expectation
of
successe
,
the
delicacie
and
tendernesse
of
the
eares
of
God
,
and
the
precious
fauour
of
his
countenance
,
which
must
bee
wisely
intreated
and
carefully
sought
for
:
biddeth
vs
to
goe
thither
with
zeale
,
vnlesse
we
will
sowe
,
and
not
reape
:
plant
Vines
and
not
drinke
the
wine
thereof
.
The
fift
and
last
peece
of
houshold-stuffe
,
is
Christian
patience
,
Dauid
,
2.
Sam.
15.
Behold
,
here
am
I
,
let
him
doe
to
me
as
it
seemeth
good
in
his
eyes
.
Worthy
is
the
Oration
of
Iudith
which
shee
made
to
her
people
of
Bethutia
,
Luk.
21.
and
in
the
prayer
which
he
hath
taught
vs
:
of
Dauid
,
Psal
37.
7.
and
of
the
rest
.
The
second
is
,
the
Lords
equitie
in
all
his
actions
:
he
gouerneth
not
by
lust
,
but
by
law
:
he
draweth
thee
not
to
obedience
by
a
violent
chaine
of
his
vnchangeable
purpose
,
but
by
reason
and
iustice
:
esteeme
not
his
will
in
the
moderating
of
the
world
as
immoderate
:
hee
hath
a
will
,
but
not
as
inordinate
Princes
,
who
hauing
the
raines
of
dominion
giuen
into
their
hands
,
doo
many
things
inordinately
without
law
,
reason
,
iustice
,
equitie
:
proclayming
with
Nero
,
that
they
may
doo
all
things
,
and
that
no
bodie
may
controll
them
.
No
,
no
,
beloued
,
his
will
is
alwayes
holy
,
alwayes
iust
and
equitable
,
although
it
seemeth
vnto
thee
vniust
.
The
third
is
the
example
of
Christ
;
Christians
,
the
wisdome
of
God
it selfe
,
in
whom
the
Deitie
dwelt
bodily
,
was
content
to
forsake
his
wisedome
,
and
to
be
ordered
and
rectified
by
this
squire
of
his
Fathers
will
:
Father
,
not
my
will
,
but
thine
be
fulfilled
.
This
is
then
the
spirituall
furniture
which
we
must
carrie
with
vs
,
if
wee
will
goe
to
the
name
of
Iehouah
.
Prayer
with
these
companions
will
returne
laden
with
the
sheaues
of
comfort
and
blisse
from
the
plentifullest
fieldes
.
And
by
these
it
is
manifested
,
that
the
righteous
onely
goe
to
this
place
:
the
name
of
Iehouah
is
not
like
vnto
the
earthly
places
,
vnto
which
in
the
time
of
infection
resort
both
good
and
bad
.
The
vngodly
may
make
a
shew
to
goe
vnto
it
,
but
yet
they
can
not
come
thither
,
for
there
is
the
spirit
of
prayer
,
Zach.
12.
which
is
giuen
onely
to
them
that
bring
with
them
this
spirituall
furniture
.
As
for
weapons
to
safegarde
our selues
,
we
neede
none
,
for
this
houshold-stuffe
are
spirituall
weapons
,
Ephes.

This
shall
suffise
for
the
Arke
of
Noah
.
Now
because
the
Ciuill
Magistrate
appointeth

euery
Parish

to
aide

Call

&c.
Dauid
hath
vsed
this
faithfull
friend
in
the
time
of
the
plague
,
he
hath
sent
it
as
an
Embassadour
into
the
court
of
heauen
to
sue
for
peace
:
he
sent
not
merites
,
distrustfulnesse
,
impatience

or
blasphemies
:
but
prayer
the
surest
and
effectuallest
Embassadour

for

Wee
are
all
desirous
if
the
Lord
visite

with
the
rod
of
Dauid
,
to
haue
some
trustie
and
faithfull
friend
or
seruant
to
keepe
and
ayde

,
to
dispatch
our
businesse
,
to

and
to
prouide

with
necessaries

and

make
much
of
such
that
will
assist

in
such
a
fearefull
sicknesse

Wee
can
haue
no
better
seruant
then
King
Dauids
friend
,
who
hath
many
good
qualities
:
we
desire
in
the
time
of
plague
a
seruant
or
friend
,
Fourthly
,
we
are
desirous
to
haue
one
that
can
speake
language
which
the
Physition
can
vnderstand
,
if
neede
were
to
send
him
thither
,
and
who
can
prouide
vs
of
necessaries
,
such
one
is
prayer

for
what
language
soeuer
it
speaketh
,

O
that
thou
wouldest
hide
me
in
the
graue
,
and
keepe
me
secret
vntill
thy
wrath
is
past

yet
then
this
friend
is
our
comfort
,
he
will
speake
for
vs
vnto
the
Lord
,
King
Dauids
Phisition
,

this
we
may
flie
into
the
bosome
of
Gods
mercies
.
If
any
then
be
afflicted
amongst
you
,
let
him
pray
▪
Iam.
5.
The
reason
why
we
desire
a
friend
with
all
these
qualities
,
is
that
he
might
both
aide
,
and
prouide
vs
with
all
necessaries
:
praier
is
a
friend
who
is
able
to
dispatch
all
our
businesse
.
Desirest
thou
a
Phisition
in
thy
sicknes
to
cure
thee
,
send
this
friend
praier
to
King
Dauids
Phisitian
dwelling
in
heauen
,
and
he
will
bring
him
with
him
.
If
thou
needest
phisick
to
heale
thee
,
and
which
is
good
for
thy
disease
,
send
praier
into
heauen
to
fetch
the
hearbe
of
patience
,
which
groweth
not
in
our
owne
garden
.
If
thou
desirest
necessaries
for
thy
soule
,
send
him
to
the
Lord
,
he
will
fetch
for
thee
,
all
that
thou
wantest
,
the
bread
of
life
,
that
heauenly
Manna
,
the
blood
of
Christ
;
the
waters
of
mercie
.
Needest
thou
a
comforter
,
send
praier
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
he
wil
bring
with
him
the
best
comforter
of
the
sicke
,
the
holy
Ghost
,
it
is
his
name
;
Iohn
.
14.
he
will
not
feare
to
come
to
thee
,
as
often
the
bodily
Phisitian
.
Lastly
,
if
we
desire
our
friends
to
come
and
visite
vs
,
send
prayer
for
them
,
and
they
will
come
:
God
the
father
,
God
the
sonne
,
God
the
holy
Ghost
.
No
friend
then
better
then
prayer
.
There
are
some
bad
seruants
of
which
we
must
take
heeede
,
and
as
in
the
time
of
plague
there
are
some
bad
seruants
who
robbe
and
bereaue
the
sicke
of

so
there
are
some
wicked
friends
who
will

with
the
prophet
for
the
peace
of
your
Ierusalem
.
It
is
the
Apostles
precept
,
to
pray
continually
,
which
if
it
euer
was
time
to
practise
,
it
is
at
this
present
.
Dauid
,
Manasses
,
Exechiat
,
and
the
rest
.
The
blessed
Prophets
,
Patriarks
,
yea
the
prince
of
glorie
,
the
sonne
of
the
immortall
God
Christ
Iesus
:
It
is
so
heauenly
and
honourable
,
that
by
prayer
we
doe
approach
neere
vnto
God
,
and
doe
as
it
were
conioyne
our selues
with
him
:
while
we
are
in
the
bodie
,
we
are
absent
from
home
:
but
by
prayer
we
do
ascend
into
heauen
,
prayer
being
as
it
were
the
band
of
our
internall
coniunction
with
God
.
Further
,
it
is
honorable
,
not
onely
in
regarde
of
the
persons
which
haue
vsed
it
;
but
also
,
to
God
and
vs
.
To
God
,
for
thereby
we
honor
and
glorifie
him
,
Psal.
50
acknowledging
that
all
might
,
glorie
,
felicitie
,
health
and
saluation
belongeth
to
him
,
and
that
from
him
alone
we
must
receiue
it
.
To
vs
,
for
thereby
we
are
familiar
with
the
Lord
:
if
it
be
an
honor
for
vs
to
be
familiar
with
earthly
Princes
,
which
are
but
dust
and
ashes
,
O
what
an
honour
is
it
then
to
be
familiar
with
the
King
of
Kings
,
and
monarke
of
the
world
!
It
is
the
cheefest
honour
wherevnto
he
can
aduance
vs
,
when
hee
giueth
vs
the
spirit
of
prayer
.
If
we
desire
the
valor
of
Knighthoode
,
by
prayer
we
may
stand
in
place
where
Gods
hand
hath
made
a
breach
,
and
doe
as
much
as
all
the
chariots
and
horsemen
in
a
kingdom
.
If
you
esteeme
it
an
honour
to
be
in
the
seruice
of
the
Prince
,
giue
your selfe
to
prayer
,
it
is
one
of
the
chiefest
parts
of
Gods
seruice
.
Yea
it
is
so
excellent
,
that
the
sacrifice
of
prayer
is
offered
alone
to
him
,
whom
Salomon
calleth
excellent
and
glorious
.
The
pleasure
of
it
,
may
bee
the
third
argument
of
commendation
:
Apoc.
8.
And
as
the
sent
of
incense
and
Odoriferus
things
is
pleasant
to
the
nostrels
of
mortall
man
:
So
the
prayer
of
the
righteous
,
saith
Chrysostome
,
is
pleasant
to
the
immortall
God
.
It
is
not
then
,
the
lamentation
of
men
,
eiulation
of
women
and
children
,
mingling
heauen
and
earth
together
with
a
confusion
of
out-cries
,
that
is
acceptable
to
God
,
and
which
can
enforce
him
to
giue
vs
audience
:
but
it
is
humble
prayer
,
the
voyce
of
repentance
:
which
as
Iesus
Syrach
speaketh
,
Eccl.
35.
16.
shall
bee
accepted
with
fauour
,
and
reach
vnto
the
cloudes
.
Secondly

of

,

:
and
as

for

ryuers
of

,
so

of

Vse
therefore
this
comfortable
exercise
:
the
childe

neuer
better
but
when
it

fathers
and

lap
:
So
shal
you
neuer
be
better
,
but
when
by
prayer
you
creepe
as
it
were
in
your
heauenly
Fathers
bosome
:
it
will
kindle
your
loue
toward
him
,
as
the
loue
of
louers
is
kindled
,
the
more
they
come
together
:
and
if
yee
remaine
there
this
Winter
,
feruent
prayer
will
bee
in
steade
of

,
to
kindle
in
your
hearts
the
loue
of
God
