DELIVERANCE
FROM
THE
GRAVE
.
EZECHIEL
37.13
.
And
ye
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
,
when
I
haue
opened
your
graues
,
O
my
people
,
and
brought
you
vp
out
of
your
graues
.
IT
was
yet
Good-Friday
both
with
this
Prophet
and
the
people
,
when
he
vndertooke
for
them
a
Text
fit
for
Easter
,
I
am
sure
for
the
resurrection
,
when
the
Israelites
were
stretcht
vpon
the
Racke
of
miserie
,
as
Hee
(
of
whom
they
were
then
Types
,
but
afterwards
persecutors
)
vpon
the
Crosse
,
when
they
were
to
be
lockt
vp
in
the
graue
of
captiuitie
,
as
Hee
was
for
a
time
in
the
barres
of
the
earth
:

(
saith
Senensis
:
)
from
these
oppressions
,
weighty
though
they
were
to
him
,
this
Robur
vel
imperium
Domini
,
this
strength
of
the
Lord
(
for
so
the
Prophets
name
imports
)
breakes
forth
;
his
soule
being
full
of
diuinations
,
as
the
Riuer
Chobar
,
by
which
he
sate
,
of
drops
;
and
through
the
vision
of
dead
bones
,
sees
Israels
restauration
to
its
former
liberty
,
and
mans
resurrection
to
his
eternity
.
The
words
of
the
Prophet
will
best
set
themselues
together
in
your
memories
,
if
they
bee
taken
asunder
into
their
parts
:
-
First
,
Gods
care
to
be
knowne
,
And
you
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
.
-
Secondly
,
to
whom
,
To
his
owne
people
;
O
my
people
.
-
Thirdly
,
by
what
meanes
,
by
most
powerfull
deliuerance
;
when
I
haue
opened
your
graues
,
and
brought
you
vp
out
of
your
graues

Gods
care
to
be
knowne
,
first
presents
it selfe
;
And
you
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
.
Two
things
,
saith
Lactantius
,
GOD
hath
made
man
onely
to
be
most
desirous
of
;
Religionis
&
sapientia
,
Religion
and
wisdome
,
the
two
onely
Keyes
to
open
that
Well
sealed
vp
,
The
knowledge
of
the
Lord
.
But
the
Author
goes
on
,
sed
homines
ideo
falluntur
,
quòd
aut
Religionem
suscipiunt
omissâ
sapientiâ
,
aut

omissâ
Religione
:
either
men
,
in
the
fury
of
Religion
,
will
breake
vp
the
seales
of
Gods
secrets
,
and
so
rather
discouer
him
then
know
him
;
or
else
they
will
finde
him
in
the
Labyrinths
of
their
subtill
braines
,
omitting
the
best
Clue
to
guide
them
thorow
,
Religion
.
We
may
obserue
how
vnhappy
the
first
intent
to
know
GOD
too
neere
was
,
when
He
that
was
the
subiect
of
the
knowledge
,
was
not
the
Instructer
.
Perer.
in
Gen.
lib.
1.
but
being
so
her selfe
:
and
all
because
when
shee
first
set
her selfe
to
Schoole
,
the
Deuill
was
her
Tutor
.
Glorious
apparition
of
knowledge
!
which
fier'd
euen
innocencie
it selfe
with
a
proud
affection
to
it
:
nor
could
euer
since
any
Age
auoyd
the
spices
of
that
first
disease
of
knowing
.
But
,
like
ouer-fleet
Hounds
,
wee
often
out-runne
the
prey
in
the
pursuite
;
or
else
,
tyer'd
and
hungry
,
fall
vpon
some
dead
carrion
in
the
way
,
and
omit
the
Game
.
Else
how
were
it
possible
that
Man
,
who
only
hath
that
essentiall
consequence
of
his
Reason
,
Capacity
of
Learning
,
should
all
his
time
bee
brought
vp
in
a
Schoole
of
knowledge
,
and
yet
too
often
let
the
glasse
of
his
dayes
be
runne
out
,
before
hee
knowes
the
Author
he
should
studie
?
Haue
not
the
greatest
Epicures
of
knowledge
,
like
children
new
set
to
Schoole
,
turn'd
from
their
lessons
to
looke
on
pictures
in
their
bookes
;
gazing
vpon
some
hard
trifle
,
some
vnnecessary
subtilty
,
and
forgot
so
much
as
once
to
spell
the
Lord
?
How
great
a
part
of
this
span-length
of
his
daies
doth
the
Grammaticall
Criticke
spend
,
in
finding
out
the
construction
of
an
obsolete
word
,
or
the
principall
verbe
in
a
worne-out
Epitaph
,
still
ready
to
set
out
a
new
booke
vpon
an
old
Criticisme
?
How
will
an
Antiquarie
search
whole
Libraries
,
to
light
vpon
an
ancient
Monument
,
whilest
the
Chronicle
of
this
LORD
,
who
is
the
Ancient
of
daies
,
shall
seldome
be
looked
into
?
We
doe
so
wearie
the
faculties
of
our
vnderstanding
before-hand
by
ouer-practising
,
that
when
wee
come
at
the
Race
indeed
,
where
our
knowledge
should
so
runne
that
it
might
obtaine
,
it
giues
ouer
the
course
,
as
out
of
breath
,
before
it
haue
begun
.
I
speake
not
but
to
honour
learning
and
knowledge
,
euen
the
first
elements
of
the
Arts
;
they
are
like
the
Cryer
in
the
Wildernesse
before
our
Sauiour
to
prepare
his
way
:
Nor
I
thinke
ought
any
to
be
transported
with
the
pangs
of
so
indiscreet
a
zeale
,
as
to
extinguish
those
first
Lampes
of
knowledge
,
polite
and
humane
studies
:
for
though
they
doe
not
directly
teach
vs
to
know
the
Lord
,
yet
are
they
the
fittest
spectacles
for
vnripe
yeeres
and
tender
sights
to
put
on
,
who
are
not
able
to
endure
at
the
first
vehemens
sensibile
,
so
excelling
an
obiect
as
the
Lord
is
.
God
doth
not
vse
now-a-dayes
to
rauish
men
extra
corpus
,
as
Saint
Hierome
saith
hee
did
this
Prophet
:
or
as
Saint
Paul
saith
,
he
doth
not
know
whether
it
were

sending
downe
lights
and
visions
from
himselfe
,
to
make
his
Spirit
to
be
at
command
to
euery
obstreperous
vnletter'd
Extemporist
,
Hieron
.
ad
Paulin.
vt

,
who
will
vndertake
to
teach
before
himselfe
hath
learn'd
;
and
so
it
often
falls
out
,
that
whilest
such
are
about
to
make
knowne
this
knowledge
of
the
Lord
,
though
their
bodies
bee
confin'd
within
the
compasse
of
the
Pulpit
,
yet
is
their
straggling
inuention
faine
to
wander
for
matter
,
as
Saul
did
ouer
Mount
Gilboa
,
the
Incarnation
of
his
blessed
Sonne
excepted
)
the
effusion
of
his
Spirit
,
must
still
be
so
familiar
with
vs
,
that
the
assiduity
of
hauing
it
,
hath
brought
it
amongst
too
many
into
a
cheape
contempt
.
I
would
not
be
mistaken
;
(
for
I
speake
with
a
reuerend
estimation
of
mine
owne
and
all
Christian
soules
)
Preaching
is
an
inestimable
Iewell
;
and
if
the
Physician
of
the
body
is
to
bee
honour'd
,
then
much
more

by
which
our
soules
soare
to
the
heauenly
Ierusalem
.
O
what
a
blessing
is
it
from
heauen
?
nay
,
what
proportion
doth
it
hold
with
heauen
,
to
heare
a
Preachers
tongue
,
touch't
by
a
Seraphim
,
vtter
in
the
Pulpit
,
labour'd
&
mature
thoghts
,
cloathing
his
sublime
Theames
in
fit
Apparell
to
be
presented
before
that
Person
whom
hee
represents
;

so
runne
;
running
hee
obseru'd
many
(
perchance
)
too
fast
,
therefore
he
assignes
the
modum
debitum
,
the
true
path
in
which
wee
should
runne
.
Men
that
will
be
either
like
him
,
or
like
the
good
seruant
so
doing
,
must
not
fall
into
any
excesse
,
and
bee
found
ouer-doing
;
which
,
euen
in
this
great
businesse
of
knowing
the
Lord
,
too
many
doe
.
It
was
St.
Hieroms
complaint
in
his
time
,
Sola
Ars
Scripturarum
,
Ars
est
omnium
:
In
no
other
Profession
can
any
man
set
vp
,
before
he
haue
seru'd
a
set
number
of
yeeres
;
but
in
the
knowing
of
the
Lord
,
euery
man
will
bee
a
Doctor
of
the
Chaire
,
before
euer
he
saw
the
Diuinity-Schoole
.
We
ought
,
It
is
indeed
true
,
That
to
know
the
Lord
and
his
saluation
the
Scripture
affords
light
enough
,
and
Diuinity
needs
not
to
adde
to
her
immortall
beauty
by
any
borrowed
painting
:
yet
you
shall
see
,
that
when
Saint
Paul
vndertooke
to
make
the
Corinthians
know
who
was
the
Lord
,
backside
,
The
Heauens
declare
the
Glorie
of
God
,
and
the
Firmament
sheweth
his
handy
workes
;
and
so
out
of
euery
Star
could
he
take
notes
,
by
which
he
might
learne
who
was
this
Lord
.

The

,
The
beauty

The
Glorie
of

,
an
Ornament
giuing
light
in
the
highest
places
of
the
Lord
,
at
the
commandement
of
the
Holy
one
;
they
will
stand
in
their
order
,
and
neuer
faint
in
their
watches

Aske
now
the
Beasts

and
they
shall
teach
thee
,
and
the
Fowles
of
the
ayre
,
and
they
shall
tell
thee
;
or
speake
to
the
Earth
,
and
it
shall
teach
thee
,
and
the
Fishes
of
the
Sea
shall
declare
vnto
thee
.
Who
knoweth
not
all
these
things
,
that
the
hand
of
the
Lord
hath
wrought
this
?
By
the
perpetuity
of
these
creatures
,
wee
may
know
the
eternitie
of
their
Creator
;
by
their
immensity
,
his
omnipotency
;
by
the
ordering
of
them
,
the
wisdome
of
him
.
Yet
hath
the
Deuill
so
fascinated
the
eyes
of
many
,
that
in
stead
of
knowing
GOD
by
these
his
workes
,
they
haue
mistaken
many
of
his
workes
for
their
gods
:
How
commonly
haue
some
esteem'd
the
strong
man
in
the
Firmament
,
the
Sun
,
for
the
Sunnes
Creator
?
who
,
could
he
haue
spoken
,
would
haue
answer'd
them
like
the
Angell
in
the
Reuelation
,
knowledge
of
this
Lord
.
Where
was
that
immortall
Soule
,
that
Image
of
the
sacred
Trinity
?
Where
all
the
Faculties
of
that
Soule
?
Apprehension
,
Iudgement
,
and
Discourse
?
Nay
,
where
are
they
yet
,
in
the
greatest
and
most
parts
of
the
world
?
I
desire
not
to
dwell
vpon
so
vnnecessarie
a
point
,
as
many
may
thinke
the
knowledge
of
God
to
be
,
in
this
Sun-shine
of
the
Gospell
:
yet
some
,
I
am
sure
,
that
this
day
heare
mee
,
haue
beene
in
parts
,
and
amongst
people
,
who
can
no
more
see
this
Lord
,
then
a
blind
man
is
able
to
discerne
the
Sunne
at
noone
:
where
amongst
obseruing
many
Monsters
in
their
Trauels
,
the
greatest
Monster
Sea
or
Earth
affords
,
is
the
ignorance
of
this
Lord
,
not
yet
knowne
to
the
mightiest
Monarkes
vpon
earth
.
Let
me
beseech
you
,
who-euer
you
are
,
that
dedicate
your selues
to
treade
the
vntrackt
paths
of
the
Sea
,
and
negotiate
with
remote
Kingdomes
,
either
for
the
Gold
of
Ophir
,
or
the
Spices
of
Arabia
,
to
carry
with
you
along
for
Exchange
,
if
it
be
possible
,
(
but
not
to
forgoe
it
your selues
)
this
Merchandise
,
sold
at
so
low
a
rate
now
with
vs
;
The
knowledge
of
this
Lord
.
Let
euery
one
of
your
liues
be
a
Taper
to
the
darkned
vnderstandings
of
the
Heathen
,
by
which
they
may
at
least
see
that
you
know
the
Lord
:
for
to
you
,
to
you
only
doth
he
beare
this
loue
,
of
you
onely
hee
hath
this
fatherly
care
,
that
hee
would
bee
knowne
to
bee
the
Lord
of
you
his
people
:
for
you
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
,
O
my
people
:
you
are
the
persons
to
whom
he
would
be
knowne

his

then
God
doth
here
his
people
?
When
the
house
of
Israel
dwelt
in
their
owne
Land
,
they
defiled
it
by
their
owne
wayes
,
and
by
their
doings
,
wherefore
I
powred
forth
my
fury
vpon
them
.
And
who
would
not
haue
still
lookt
for
burning
from
his
lips
,
and
Coales
of
fire
from
his
nostrils
?
yet
he
presently
forgets
to
be
angry
:
scattered
they
were
,
but
they
shall
not
straggle
long
as
sheep
without
a
Shepheard
;
for
he
will
againe
be
their
Lord
,
and
they
shall
be
his
people
.
His
people
by
order
of
Creation
all
people
are
:
many
blessings
and
benefits
doe
all
Nations
,
Kingdomes
,
and
people
receiue
from
him
:
But
,
saith
Bernard
,
O
my
people
:
He
spoke
to
them
before
in
termes
of
strangenesse
;
They
defiled
their
own
way
,
effudi
eos
in
Gentes
,
I
haue
scatter'd
them
among
the
Nations
:
still
in
the
third
person
,
as
if
they
were
Branches
to
be
cut
from
the
Stocke
wherein
they
were
ingrafted
,
and
henceforth
to
remaine
Aliens
to
his
fauour
,
neuer
to
be
acquainted
with
him
,
or
any
thing
of
his
,
but
his
Anger
and
punishments
.
But
his
Anger
endures
but
a
while
:
In
his
fauour
is
life
:
so
gracious
a
LORD
hee
had
euer
beene
to
them
,
that
hee
could
neuer
forget
that
they
were
his
people
.
How
like
his
owne
people
did
he
truely
vse
them
,
when
they
were
vnder
Pharaohs
bondage
,
where
euery
lash
that
was
giuen
them
,
seem'd
to
strike
him
;
and
how
did
he
double
all
those
Stripes
vpon
Pharaohs
backe
?
How
did
he
afterwards
load
them
with
Courtesies
,
because
they
were
his
people
?
How
did
hee
feede
them
with
foode
from
his
Table
,
such
as
they
knew
not
,
neither
did
their
Fathers
know
?
How
did
he
bring
them
thorow
the
waters
of
the
great
Deepe
,
and
thorow
the
Red
Sea
,
as
thorow
a
Wildernesse
?
Yet
was
not
Gratitude
for
all
these
fauours
so
truly
planted
in
their
deprau'd
hearts
,
but
they
made
a
Molten
Calfe
,
an
Idolattrous
Sharer
in
his
honour
:
If
euer
they
were
not
to
be
accounted
his
people
,
and
their
names
neuer
to
bee
registred
more
in
his
thoughts
,
now
was
the
time
they
should
haue
beene
blotted
out
,
when
such
worms
,
not
worthy
to
crawle
before
his
Throne
,
should
dare
to
vrge
God
himself
,
with
their
vpbraiding
murmurs
:
his
people
,
easily
reconciles
him
;
and
hee
shewes
that
hee
had
wrote
them
vpon
the
palmes
of
his
hands
,
and
not
forgot
them
,
when
the
Mother
hath
forgot
her
sucking
Child
.
Hee
was
euer
wont
to
reioyce
in
the
Title
of
being
a
Lord
to
his
people
:
for
,
as
if
his
Loue
had
shut
vp
all
his
Care
for
one
Familie
alone
,
and
onely
they
should
partake
of
it
,
hee
calls
himselfe
the
God
of
Abraham
,
God
of
Isaak
,
and
the
God
of
Iacob
;
as
if
hee
meant
onely
to
bee
their
Lord
,
and
they
should
onely
be
his
people
.
Some
of
his
seruants
haue
desired
to
belong
to
him
,
with
the
same
singularity
of
dutie
,
as
hee
hath
own'd
them
with
a
singular
affection
.

O

The

this
Lord
with

They

taken
away

my

neither
shame
for
his

reproachfull
Death
,
nor
feare
to
belong

so
contemn'd
a
Man
as
he
was
,
made
her
to
let
fall
her
Relation
,
but
still
My
Lord
.
Some
of
his
then
haue
been
willing
to
dwell
vnder
the
shaddow
of
his
wings
,
as
he
was
to
entertaine

none
will
any

then
his
hand
of
bounty
is
open
to
them

Not
onely
his
people
in
generall
,
but
his
chiefest
Seruants
haue
vs'd
him
so
;
his
Psalmist
,
his
King
,
whom
he
tooke
from
the
Sheep-fold
,
and
preuenting
him
with
all
good
things
,
set
vpon
his
head
a
Crowne
of
gold
;
Then
he
would
bee
his
seruant
;
Then
he
awakes
his
Psaltery
and
Harpe
,
and
himselfe
would
awake
right
early
;
Then
hee
summons
the
Heauens
,
the
Heights
,
the
Angels
and
Hosts
,
Dragons
and
Deepe
,
all
must
helpe
him
to
praise
the

Lord
;
for
himselfe
was
resolu'd
to
doe
it
for

Yet
in

hee
sees

he
sees
GOD

not

they
are
not

like

nor
plagu'd

forthwith
all
that
God
had
done
for

he

so

Though

looke
vpon

we
shall
hardly
discern
him
to

rather
of

,
who
oftentimes
in

more

Bay

they
rather

That

In

him

one
Note
that
transcends

rest

without

his

beene
vaine

nothing

That

That

That

so
in

no

is

the
value
of

and
drie
Bones
,
Sinewes

and
Flesh
brought

These
Bones
are
the
whole

nay
,
the
whole

the
whole

must
become

these
Bones
,
Dry

,
diuested
of
Flesh

and
lay'd
for
a
time
in
such
a
lasting
Sleepe
,
where
they
shall
not
so
much
as
dreame
of
this
their
Lord
.
But
,
euen
then
,
that
Eye
of
his
,
which
neither
slumbers
nor
sleepes
,
will
keepe
a
watch
ouer
them
:
And
those
that
vpon
the
heauie
wings
of
Death
,
goe
to
the
vttermost
parts
of
the
Earth
,
shall
there
finde
him
and
his
power
in
opening
of
Graues
.
God
speakes
in
this
Prophet
hypothetically
,
if
,
or
when
;
But
this
is
to
vs
a
Truth
already
past
;
And
the
wide
mouth
of
the
Graue
hath
sufficiently
beene
its
owne
Commentarie
,
to
make
the
Text
most
plainly
vnderstood
.
Would
you
willingly
forget
,
O
you
his
people
,
how
lately
he
shew'd
you
that
out-stretched
Arme
of
his
,
in
opening
your
Graues
?
The
Graue
neuer
brought
foorth
any
thing
but
confusion
:
and
therfore
if
you
find
it
in
my
words
,
it
may
more
fairely
be
interpreted
;
yet
esteeme
it
not
for
penurie
of
matter
,
or
that
we
could
not
hold
out
with
the
Glasse
,
vnlesse
we
inch't
out
our
Periods
,
by
ripping
vp
of
dangers
long
since
past
.
Past
indeed
is
that
sad
time
;
and
past
(
O
Lord
)
let
it
be
,
like
the
word
that
is
spoken
,
and
can
neuer
bee
recal'd
:
past
let
the
Infection
of
the
Disease
be
,
But
neuer
let
Salus
Iehouae
,
neuer
let
the
Saluation
of
the
Lord
passe
from
your
memories
:
let
the
right
hand
of
Gods
Messengers
forget
their
cunning
,
and
their
tongues
cleaue
for
euer
to
the
roofe
of
their
mouths
,
who
will
not
remember
those
cryes
,
that
then
his
people
made
to
him
,
and
the
speedy
haste
he
made
to
helpe
them
.
Open
your
hearts
deepe
as
the
Graue
,
and
waken
your
eyes
,
that
they
sleepe
not
the
sleepe
of
Death
:
those
eyes
to
which
we
present
a
thousand
alluring
spectacles
,
turne
them
from
vanitie
,
to
looke
into
the
house
of
mourning
;
turne
them
vpon
those
affrighting
Glasses
,
and
see
the
Lord
,
the
Lord
himselfe
,
first
opening
the
Graue
to
the
Head
,
afterwards
to
the
body
;
first
to
the
King
,
afterwards
to
the
Kingdome
;
thousands
following
to
attend
his
Funerall
,
with
a
mournfull
Pompe
.
Did
not
Fathers
and
Sonnes
then
goe
to
this
Graue
together
?
Was
it
not
opened
for
the
Infant
,
as
soone
almost
as
the
wombe
was
open'd
to
let
it
into
the
world
?
And
That
which
a
little
before
was
the
hopefull
Burthen
of
the
Mother
,
presently
became
a
small

but
heauie
load

begun
to
be
thought
vpon
,
Death
onely
rid
in
wofull
Tryumph
thorow
your
Streets
:
The
neighbours
that
were
wont
to
imbrace
each
other
at
their
meetings
,
now
appeare
one
to
the
other
as
fearefull
as
a
Ghost
at
midnight
:
Some
preseru'd
to
reade
the
Bill
of
one
weeke
,
and
their
owne
selues
helpt
to
fill
it
vp
the
next
:
And
who
did
not
looke
vpon
those
dolefull
Registers
with
wet
eyes
,
as
if
it
had
beene
the
Chronicle
of
a
Citie
,
that
sometimes
was
,
and
without
Gods
speedy
mercy
neuer
like
to
haue
beene
againe
?
Did
not
the
Graue
open
so
wide
at
the
length
;
That
the
Cormorant
and
Bittyrne
were
like
to
possesse
your
habitations
?
The
Owle
also
and
the
Rauen
to
dwell
amongst
you
,
the
lines
of
Confusion
to
be
stretch't
vpon
you
?
And
the
stones
of
emptinesse
?
Thornes
&
Thistles
might
haue
came
in
our
Palaces
,
Nettles
,
and
Brambles
in
our
Fortresses
,
the
Satyre
like
to
cry
here
to
his
fellow
,
and
the
Screech-Owle
like
to
find
here
a
place
to
dwell
in
.
Then
were
your
delicate
and
tender
Dames
(
whom
the
Sunne
in
his
pride
must
not
looke
vpon
;
and
he
in
all
that
pride
,
not
so
proud
as
one
of
them
)
scorning
at
another
time
to
grace
a
Countrey
Village
with
their
presence
;
but
then
glad
to
shelter
themselues
vnder
an
humble
Thatch
.
Come
now
you
pampred
Truncks
,
and
see
these
Bodies
a
Feast
to
their
owne
corruption
,
for
whom
here
no
fowle
was
deare
enough
,
no
fish
rare
enough
,
to
content
their
wittily-luxurious
palats
;
The
Fowle
in
his
lyue
proportion
must
come
flying
to
our
Feasts
;
And
the
fish
swimme
againe
in
the
platter
in
a
new
Sea
of
Sawce
:
These
bodies
which
to
paint
,
to
cloathe
,
to
adorne
,
Countries
must
be
search't
for
Silkes
and
Sables
,
and
the
wooll
of
Ermines
,
the
Silk-worme
must
be
rob'd
of
the
labour
of
her
bowels
;
The
Taylor
must
tyre
his
wits
to
attyre
our
Bodies
;
The
Deuill
himselfe
must
renew
his
inuention
to
reuiue
a
fashion
:
Satanae
ingenia
,
Solomon
with
a
preuenting
Deuotion
,
foresaw
all
his
Whips
and
Scourges
which
driue
vs
to
our
Graues
,
Famine
,
Pestilence
,
Blasting
,
Mildew
,
Caterpiller
,
and
Enemy
.
Must
our
Sermons
passe
them
ouer
?
I
pray
God
the
destroying
Angell
,
whose
fingers
were
arm'd
with
them
,
may
so
passe
ouer
vs
too
:
But
Famine
hath
euer
beene
a
Brand
kindled
in
the
fire
of
Gods
wrath
;
witnesse
the
Elegies
which
made
Sion
weepe
forth
,
when
the
Lord
accomplish't
his
furie
,
When
he
had
deuour'd
the
foundations
thereof
.
Other
punishments
preuent
their
cruelty
by
a
speedy
destruction
.
But
famine
strikes
with
deliberate
blowes
,
and
makes
vs
wretchedly
sensible
of
lasting
miserieit
;
cooles
the
preseruing
heate
,
drinkes
vp
the
nourishing
moysture
,
weares
out
the
vegetable
habitude
,
suckes
vp
the
flowing
Marrow
,
eneruates

Sinewes
,
vntyes
the

;
They
that
be
slaine
with
the
Sword
,
saith
the
Lord
,
are
better
then
they
that
be
slain
with
Hunger
.
If
any
think
this
passage
vnnecessary
,
because
they
neuer
felt
it
,
let
them
learne
by
this
description
of
it
,
to
pitty
them
that
doe
.
Those
are
the
lesser
Conducts
to

Would
not
the
mighty
men
amongst
vs
neglect
them
,
One
maine
Instrument
he
hath
more
to
open
our
Graues
;
that
is
,
the
Enemy
,
but
since
the
affrighting
Drum
hath
not
a
long
time
strucke
vp
his
Panicke
sounds
in
our
land
,
nor
the
watchfull
Beacon
lent
vs
the
fearefull
light
to
see
an
Enemy
,
the
name
of
an
Enemy
may
be
thought
,
as
needlesse
a
thing
as
a
Souldier
.
Transport
then
your
thoughts
a
while
,
but
where
the
Enemy
hath
beene
,
see
how
the
Enemy
hath
opened
a
Graue
,
not
for
people
,
but
for
Prouinces
.

But
I
question
not
the

That

Sit

A

A

therefore
most

of

and
into
a

his

could
hardly

Therefore

His

His

the

said
hee

the

they

His

sleepe
,
which
they
thought
the
sleepe
of
death
,
was
busie
in
a
triumphant
Conquest
ouer
Hell

Stories
of

It

that

Easter
,
a
continu'd
Feast
of

,
solemniz'd
with
celestiall
Iubiles
by
the

in

he

O

to

All
vp

and

to
clothe
this

with

,
will
the
earth
shake
,
and
the
heauens
drop
at
thy

?
How
will
Kings
of
Armies
flye
apace
?
and
how
wilt
thou
scatter
Kings
;
when
the
chariots
of
the
Lord
shall
be
twenty
thousand
,
euen
thousands
of
Angels
?
In
what
furrow
then
will
the
Purchaser
hide
his
couetous
head
?
In
what
dunghill
will
the
Adulterer
shrow'd
his
vncleane
and
rotten
body
?
Into
what
Ditch
then
will
the
Drunkard
reele
?
or
in
what
Parchment
will
the
Lawyer
write
his
Euidences
?
or
with
what
waxe
will
he
seale
them
,
when
the
Heauens
shall
be
contracted
like
Parchment
,
and
the
Hils
shall
melt
away
like
Waxe
;
and
no
Mountaine
left
to
giue
the
Infidel
so
much
hope
of
mercy
,
as
to
call
vpon
the
Mountaines
to
couer
him
?
Then
wilt
thou
command
the
Sea
,
not
onely
to
stay
her
proud
waues
,
but
to
make
one
depth
still
call
vpon
another
,
till
they
bring
vp
from
the
lowest
bottome
,
all
that
haue
shipwrack't
in
her
waters
,
or
dash't
against
her
Rockes
.
And
vpon

euery
Angle

,
and

,
euery
place
,
though
more
desert
then
the

and
not
be
able
to
keepe
any
garment
of

that
euer
was

by
any

Christ

for

If
dissected
limbes
lie

,
in

as

as

is

the

a

if

can

can

these
bodies
of

,
from

that
first

But

Thus

at

who
at

did
all
ex

But
all

I
say
,
none
of
these
could
euer
redeeme
from
that
Graue
of
mortall
immortality
.
Yet
out
of
that
Graue
in
one
true
and
most
Orthodoxe
sense
are
we
brought
,
not
by
getting
out
,
if
we
euer
had
been
actually
in
,
but
because
that
wee
know
he
is
the
Lord
,
whose
mercifull
preuention
hath
bar'd
vp
the
euerlasting
doores
of
that
Graue
to
vs
that
are
out
:
and
to
that
purpose
hee
sent
the
Angell
in
the
Reuelation
from
Heauen
,
hauing
the
Key
of
the
bottomelesse
Pit
,
and
a
great
chaine
in
his
hand
,
and
he
tooke
the
Dragon
that
old
Serpent
which
is
the
Deuil
,
and
bound
him
a
thousand
yeeres
,
shut
him
vp

and
seal'd
vpon

,
that
he
should
deceiue
the
Nations
no

If
a

,
one
of
our
fellow

,
(
for
so
the
Angell

And
by

you
know
(
I

all
you
his

,
that
he
is
the

Now
he
hath
opened
your
Graues
,
and
brought
you
vp
out
of
your

.
God
for
his
part
hath
,
you
see

made
euery
word
of
the
Text
good
:
let
him
not
in
such
a
generall
Haruest
of
Heauen
and
Earth
,
haue
occasion
to
say
to
any
of
you
,
as
the
Master
of
the
Vineyard
said
to
the
Labourers
,
Why
stand
yee
heere
all
the

why
doe
not
your selues
doe
your
parts
too
,
and
set
your
hands
to
bring
your selues
vp
out
of
your
Graues
?
But
the
early
charitie
,
the
vnconsum'd
Bounty
of
this
Citty
,
preuents
an
Exhortation
:
you
bring
and
keepe
from
the
Graue
many
a
weake
aged
Christian
,
who
haue
no
other
props
but
you

their

your

the

,
(
I
meane

the

how
