THE
FALL
OF
MAN
.
THE
SECOND
PART
.
AS
in
great
buildings
intended
▪
all
things
cannot
easily
bee
discerned
in
the
platforme
;
it
lieth
not
in
the
power
of
mans
wisedome
,
art
,
or
prouidence
,
to
preuent
all
errors
:
some
faults
will
escape
,
which
by
vse
and
continuance
of
time
,
will
better
appeare
and
discouer
themselues
:
Before
I
dare
presume
to
speake
of
our
miseries
.
I
must
first
apologize
for
my selfe
,
lest
in
a
blinde
deuotion
I
might
chance
to
offend
,
and
seeking
to
draw
others
vnto
God
,
I
my selfe
might
fall
from
God
.
Blessed
Lord
God
,
Hauing
thus
made
my
peace
with
God
,
I
will
now
fall
to
my
intended
taske
.
My
second
kinde
of
arguments
seemes
to
be
built
vpon
these
three
grounds
and
foundations
:
1.
The
mercie
of
God
doth
ouerflow
all
his
works
,
and
all
his
attributes
,
like
oyle
vpon
liquours
.
This
is
plaine
,
for
mercie
begins
his
actions
;
Especially
considering
,
that
Gods
intent
in
the
creation
,
was
onely
according
to
the
nature
of
goodnesse
,
(
vt
sit
communicatina
sui
ipsius
)
to
impart
his
owne
being
and
attributes
to
the
creatures
:
qui
super-seminauit
zizania
,
who
did
abuse
the
freedome
of
his
owne
will
to
his
owne
shame
,
chusing
rather
to
die
,
then
to
liue
.
And
here
the
thistle
and
cockle
first
began
to
appeare
,
making
man
,
the
creature
of
Gods
mercie
,
the
fauourite
of
those
times
(
as
I
may
so
speak
)
,
the
obiect
of
Gods
iustice
,
the
subiect
of
Gods
punishment
.
My
second
ground
is
this
:
If
miseries
incident
to
our
nature
do
befall
vs
in
such
number
,
and
measure
,
as
that
they
do
●arre
exceed
all
our
own
ioyes
;
in
so
much
that
our
nature
seemes
to
be
ouerprest
with
their
burthen
and
weight
,
and
that
our
condition
should
be
farre
better
,
For
the
beleeuing
man
and
the
true
Christian
,
who
(
besides
the
miseries
of
this
life
,
which
he
acknowledgeth
to
be
the
rod
of
Gods
wrath
,
My
third
ground
is
this
:
Certaine
it
is
that
the
heauens
were
ordained
for
man
,
and
for
man
alone
the
whole
earth
was
created
.
Now
supposing
all
other
things
to
be
directed
for
man
,
Doe
you
doubt
,
whether
the
creatures
were
ordained
onely
for
mans
vse
?
I
will
not
conuince
you
with
reason
,
I
could
wish
that
you
would
forbeare
the
vse
of
the
creatures
;
doe
not
commit
theft
,
defile
not
your
hands
with
blood
;
for
in
truth
you
haue
no
right
vnto
them
,
if
they
were
not
appointed
for
your
seruice
.
But
for
this
one
time
we
will
acquire
you
:
Now
suppose
,
that
the
very
same
miseries
both
for
number
and
qualitie
,
were
alike
incident
to
man
and
to
beast
;
yet
mans
miserie
were
to
be
reputed
much
greater
,
Thus
briefly
in
effect
,
considering
that
many
miseries
are
incident
to
man
,
contrary
to
the
first
intent
of
our
creation
,
These
are
the
three
grounds
,
which
seeme
rather
as
seuerall
degrees
of
one
and
the
same
foundation
,
which
is
laid
vp
and
buried
in
the
tombe
of
our
miseries
:
and
therefore
I
pray'
pardon
me
,
if
I
be
not
ouer
strict
and
curious
in
my
method
,
Iesu
fili
Dauid
miserere
nostri
:
According
to
our
miserie
extend
thy
mercie
(
sweete
Iesu
)
,
clothe
our
nakednesse
,
couer
our
shame
,
heale
our
infirmities
;
for
thou
art
our
house
of
defence
and
our
castle
.
In
the
numbring
of
our
miseries
,
I
must
here
exclude
such
as
are
especially
and
principally
related
in
Scripture
,
for
I
will
reserue
my selfe
to
speake
seuerally
of
them
in
the
third
part
.
Now
if
I
shall
twice
repeate
any
onething
,
then
you
must
conceiue
that
it
is
proper
to
miserie
,
and
to
miserable
men
,
to
spend
their
whole
time
in
telling
and
retelling
one
and
the
same
ill
accident
.
For
their
heart
is
replenished
with
sorrow
,
and
out
of
the
abundance
of
the
heart
,
the
mouth
speaketh
;
considering
that
my
condition
is
the
same
with
others
,
and
speaking
of
them
,
I
speake
of
my selfe
:
yet
here
in
deede
I
am
but
a
bare
reporter
;
neither
would
I
bethought
to
bee
a
counterfeit
,
the
more
to
moue
your
pitie
and
compassion
;
nor
doe
I
desire
long
to
detaine
you
with
vaine
and
needlesse
repetitions
:
May
it
therefore
please
you
,
to
consider
the
difference
in
handling
each
miserie
,
and
you
shall
likewise
easily
obserue
the
different
narration
.
Speaking
of
mans
miseries
,
I
will
begin
with
mans
first
beginning
or
birth
.
Man
only
(
besides
his
naturall
birth
)
is
conceiued
in
sinne
,
and
death
is
the
wages
of
sinne
;
occisipotius
quàm
nati
imaginem
gerit
,
he
carries
the
image
rather
of
a
slain
and
a
murthered
man
,
then
of
a
man
newly
borne
,
for
he
is
borne
with
the
effusion
of
blood
.
And
being
thus
borne
,
hee
is
not
set
at
libertie
,
but
foorthwith
carried
to
the
place
of
his
torments
,
and
execution
;
and
as
hee
came
,
so
shall
hee
returne
,
borne
with
sorrow
and
griefe
,
he
shall
dye
with
paine
and
lamentation
.
He
is
carried
(
I
confesse
)
not
on
the
hurdle
,
but
first
in
the
armes
,
then
in
the
cradle
,
it
may
be
in
a
coach
,
sometimes
in
a
chariot
;
but
certainly
at
length
it
will
be
a
coffin
:
sleeping
or
waking
,
be
the
waies
neuer
so
many
,
neuer
so
different
,
neuer
so
crooked
,
yet
still
he
is
carried
on
his
iourney
;
howsoeuer
the
winde
blowes
,
the
tide
will
carrie
his
vessell
.
Our
life
is
a
kind
of
dying
;
for
when
it
is
gone
,
then
we
are
dead
:
the
wine
is
in
spending
,
when
first
it
is
broached
;
then
wee
begin
to
dye
,
when
f●●st
wee
begin
to
liue
.
Looke
vpon
me
,
looke
vpon
me
(
beloued
)
,
I
am
more
then
halfe
dead
;
in
truth
,
in
truth
,
I
am
more
then
halfe
dead
.
Me
thinkes
I
see
some
compassionate
men
calling
for
hot
waters
,
fearing
lest
I
should
suddenly
faint
.
I
doe
humbly
thanke
them
for
their
loues
;
but
I
will
spare
them
that
labour
,
for
I
am
not
wounded
,
I
confesse
;
I
hope
,
I
am
not
poyso●ed
;
I
know
no
dangerous
disease
that
lurkes
in
my
body
,
Thus
man
at
his
first
comming
into
this
world
,
incurres
the
penaltie
of
a
flatute
,
statutum
est
hominibus
mori
;
no
sooner
hee
comes
,
but
presently
hee
must
prepare
to
returne
.
He
is
the
sole
pilgrime
and
stranger
,
and
all
other
creatures
are
the
natiue
inhabitants
;
hee
hath
no
terme
of
yeeres
assigned
him
by
lease
,
and
if
hee
liues
out
the
full
scope
of
his
time
,
yet
when
hee
hath
once
attained
old
age
,
But
why
should
I
speake
of
the
course
of
his
life
,
when
seldome
or
neuer
hee
attaines
to
that
period
which
nature
hath
appoynted
;
rising
by
degrees
,
Assoone
as
man
comes
into
the
world
,
he
begins
to
discouer
his
nakednesse
and
impotencie
;
he
is
not
able
to
goe
,
not
able
to
speake
,
he
can
neither
helpe
himself
,
nor
desire
the
helpe
of
another
:
only
his
trade
is
,
not
to
sing
,
All
other
creatures
are
borne
with
weapons
,
both
offensiue
,
as
hornes
,
hooffes
,
tuskes
,
clawes
;
or
defensiue
,
as
swift
slight
,
a
skill
and
subtiltie
to
hide
it selfe
,
a
strong
hide
;
All
other
creatures
are
fed
from
aboue
,
God
feedes
the
Rauens
from
heauen
,
and
nature
makes
their
prouision
;
in
the
first
houre
of
their
birth
,
they
seeke
their
portion
of
victual
;
without
any
guide
or
direction
they
know
the
way
to
the
teate
,
and
thus
they
are
able
to
helpe
themselues
.
in
s●dore
vultus
eating
the
bread
of
carefulnesse
,
and
drinking
the
cup
of
sorrow
.
All
other
creatures
,
if
they
haue
a
sufficient
quantity
of
foode
,
will
vndoubtedly
thriue
,
their
profit
will
be
answerable
to
their
keeping
.
The
Sheepheard
or
the
Grazier
will
almost
assure
himselfe
,
that
against
such
a
day
,
his
sheepe
or
his
oxen
will
be
fit
for
the
shambles
;
onely
man
seemes
not
to
liue
by
bread
alone
.
Other
creatures
excell
man
in
euery
sense
,
in
euery
corporeal
qualitie
,
as
length
of
yeeres
,
strength
,
soundnes
of
constitution
,
No
creature
so
much
loathes
vncleannesse
as
man
,
and
yet
no
creature
,
whose
flesh
is
so
apt
to
be
tainted
,
with
vlcers
,
botches
,
and
sores
,
as
is
the
skinne
of
man
;
what
kembing
?
what
trimming
?
what
oyntments
?
what
washings
?
what
sweete
perfumes
?
what
linnen
?
what
change
of
garments
?
and
yet
all
will
not
serue
:
sometimes
the
food
breakes
out
into
sores
;
Quibene
ol●
:
,
non
bent
●let
,
he
that
hath
the
sweetest
smell
,
hath
not
the
sweete●t
bodie
:
of
all
the
noysome
sents
,
there
is
none
so
rammish
,
and
so
intollerable
,
as
is
that
which
proceedes
from
mans
bodie
:
whereas
the
poore
shepheard
,
without
any
other
remedies
of
art
,
only
with
his
Tarre-boxe
,
is
able
to
preserue
a
huge
flocke
of
s●eepe
;
and
the
Farrier
with
his
drinke
,
and
his
letting
of
blood
,
cures
all
the
diseases
of
beasts
.
Many
hearbes
,
many
beasts
,
many
trees
,
are
in
themselues
odoriferous
,
From
the
altar
of
sweete
odours
,
let
vs
come
to
their
quier
:
Hearke
,
hearke
,
the
excellent
notes
of
singing
birds
,
O
praise
God
vpon
the
Lute
and
Harpe
,
prais●
him
in
the
sound
of
the
Trumpet
,
praise
him
in
the
Cymbals
and
pipes
;
let
euerie
thing
that
hath
breath
praise
the
Lord
.
And
thus
man
seemes
to
be
defectiue
and
destitute
aboue
all
other
creatures
,
euen
in
that
,
which
was
the
first
end
and
scope
of
his
creation
.
If
you
regard
neither
sweete
odours
,
nor
heauenly
musicke
,
nor
beautifull
colours
;
yet
consider
the
creatures
in
themselues
:
As
it
is
in
their
diet
,
so
in
all
other
actions
of
the
flesh
.
Other
creatures
,
though
hotter
in
constitution
,
yet
are
they
not
so
much
inclined
to
their
lust
,
as
is
man
.
And
sometimes
the
more
impotent
man
,
the
more
inclined
to
the
sinne
;
Sponsabo
tem●h●
in
et●rnu●
delectus
〈…〉
,
&
ego
illi
.
If
thou
wilt
offer
vp
thy
heart
vpon
Gods
altar
,
as
a
whole
burnt
offering
,
nothing
shall
remaine
for
any
secular
vse
or
imployment
.
To
speake
of
the
●oode
both
of
man
and
of
beasts
,
how
nature
hath
supplied
their
necessities
with
the
daintinesse
and
delicacie
of
meates
;
I
will
not
compar●
the
best
of
the
one
with
the
meanest
of
the
other
:
Aperis
tu
manum
tuam
,
&
impl●s
〈◊〉
animal
benedictione
;
Thou
openest
thy
hand
,
O
Lord
,
and
fillest
euery
liuing
thing
with
thy
blessings
.
Hauing
receiued
their
foode
,
assuredly
their
digestion
is
much
better
then
ours
:
nature
seemes
lesse
to
complaine
in
them
,
then
in
vs
,
and
more
rarely
commits
an
error
.
For
as
it
is
in
trees
and
in
plants
,
which
drawing
sappe
by
the
roote
,
doe
yeerely
in
the
spring
time
send
foorth
a
blossome
,
then
a
leafe
,
then
the
fruit
,
and
at
length
brings
all
to
full
ripenes
,
obseruing
the
iust
time
and
seasons
for
euery
action
.
Being
thus
temperate
in
their
diet
,
and
their
foode
agreeable
to
their
nature
,
and
their
nature
performing
her
taske
,
no
marueile
if
they
be
lesse
subiect
〈◊〉
distempers
,
then
man
;
But
suppose
mans
temper
to
bee
the
best
,
then
there
appeares
the
corruption
of
nature
,
to
make
the
best
the
most
brittle
.
Suppose
this
best
temper
did
consist
in
a
mediocritie
,
as
indeede
it
doth
,
then
should
it
be
lesse
obnoxious
to
any
extreame
;
moderata
durant
;
as
in
factions
and
parts
taking
,
the
safest
and
surest
course
is
,
not
to
intermeddle
with
either
side
,
vnlesse
necessitie
inforceth
vs
,
but
to
stand
indifferently
affected
to
both
.
The
moderate
mixture
of
gold
,
giues
it
the
greatest
and
longest
continuance
,
while
other
bodies
approching
neerer
the
extreames
,
are
either
nipt
with
the
frost
,
or
scorched
with
the
heate
,
or
suddenly
dissolued
by
the
application
of
some
contrarie
qualitie
.
I
cannot
yet
bee
resolued
,
from
whence
come
all
these
distempers
more
incident
to
man
,
then
to
all
other
creatures
:
the
parts
of
man
are
the
same
,
for
number
,
qualitie
,
figure
,
situation
,
with
other
creatures
.
Mans
foode
,
The
many
distempers
which
happen
to
man
,
seeme
to
shorten
his
age
,
which
indeed
carries
not
the
same
proportion
with
the
age
and
life
of
the
creatures
.
One
and
twentie
yeeres
passe
,
For
the
length
of
mans
age
,
as
some
other
creatures
exceed
man
,
so
man
exceeds
the
most
of
the
creatures
;
for
after
the
fall
and
corruption
of
man
,
yet
still
the
mercie
of
God
hath
appeared
in
the
preseruation
of
mans
life
,
Considering
all
the
infirmities
of
mans
nature
,
and
the
weakenesse
which
seemes
to
bee
proper
and
incident
to
his
condition
,
the
life
of
man
is
farre
shorter
,
then
is
the
life
of
the
creatures
:
for
here
in
this
world
,
by
the
course
of
Gods
prouidence
,
there
ought
to
bee
a
lineall
succession
;
the
father
should
liue
,
and
take
protection
of
his
sonne
,
vntill
his
sonne
should
bee
able
to
prouide
for
himselfe
:
and
herein
,
if
you
shall
compare
man
with
the
beasts
,
you
shal
find
him
farre
short
,
and
very
much
defectiue
.
Considering
againe
the
difficultie
of
many
trades
,
of
many
professions
,
which
are
necessarily
required
for
the
vpholding
of
mans
life
,
the
learning
whereof
takes
vp
the
greatest
part
of
his
age
;
The
age
makes
not
for
the
happinesse
of
a
creature
:
for
we
must
consider
,
not
how
long
we
haue
liued
,
but
how
well
we
haue
liued
:
and
therefore
I
will
speake
of
the
delights
of
this
life
,
For
the
pleasures
and
sports
belonging
to
bruite
beasts
,
you
see
that
Princes
and
Nobles
take
their
greatest
pastime
,
in
those
royall
games
of
Hawking
,
and
Hunting
.
I
would
gladly
know
,
I
would
not
here
willingly
haue
you
suppose
,
that
I
were
a
Proctor
,
entertained
to
speake
in
the
behalfe
of
dumbe
beasts
:
neither
doe
I
here
purpose
to
acquit
or
excuse
them
from
their
miseries
;
Suppose
that
man
,
together
with
a
dumbe
beast
,
should
fall
into
any
danger
of
waters
;
all
the
beasts
of
the
field
,
of
what
condition
soeuer
,
doe
naturally
swim
to
saue
themselues
:
Hauing
diued
into
the
waters
,
now
giue
me
leaue
to
approch
,
&
to
drie
my selfe
by
the
fire
;
only
man
,
of
all
other
creatures
,
When
I
consider
these
accidencies
of
water
and
fire
,
I
must
necessarily
conclude
,
that
both
the
deluge
of
water
,
and
the
future
d●ssolution
by
fire
;
both
of
them
are
first
and
principally
directed
for
man
,
as
the
fruites
of
his
offence
,
so
the
effects
of
his
punishment
:
though
secondarily
they
might
intend
the
dumbe
creatures
,
as
they
serue
for
mans
vse
and
ministrie
,
To
come
to
the
neerer
elements
,
which
are
more
familiar
vnto
vs
,
and
wherewith
wee
are
better
acquainted
.
First
for
the
contagious
ayre
,
no
creature
is
so
subiect
to
a
generall
infection
and
pestilence
,
as
is
man
.
In
this
one
Citie
we
haue
buried
three
thousand
a
weeke
,
But
plagues
are
rare
,
and
seldome
befall
vs
,
they
follow
either
the
opening
of
the
earth
;
when
a
poysonous
and
putrified
breath
,
inclosed
in
the
bowels
of
the
earth
,
doth
finde
out
some
vent
,
and
infects
the
plants
and
the
fruites
;
or
else
they
are
caused
by
some
strange
coniunction
or
opposition
of
starres
.
For
I
will
not
dispute
of
Gods
immediate
and
extraordinary
actions
,
these
I
will
passe
ouer
with
silence
,
and
reuerence
,
trembling
at
his
iudgements
:
but
sure
I
am
that
God
is
the
God
of
nature
,
and
hee
can
vse
naturall
meanes
,
for
the
punishment
of
mans
sinne
:
thus
plagues
are
sometimes
foreseene
and
foretold
.
But
to
come
to
those
infections
which
are
vsuall
and
ordinary
;
how
many
places
are
there
,
where
Physitians
forbid
our
habitation
?
the
hundreds
of
Essex
,
Rumney
in
Kent
,
the
Fennes
of
Ely
,
the
Marshes
of
Lincolne
,
the
Woulds
in
the
North
,
the
Moores
in
the
South
,
the
Downes
in
the
West
.
These
are
all
vnhabitable
places
,
and
cannot
agree
with
mans
health
,
as
if
God
had
not
giuen
the
whole
earth
for
mans
vse
.
They
are
wealthie
(
I
confesse
)
if
they
were
healthie
;
the
soile
is
rich
and
fat
,
it
agrees
with
the
nature
of
all
other
creatures
,
makes
them
plumbe
and
in
good
liking
(
man
only
excepted
)
.
Let
vs
leaue
those
noysome
and
pestilent
countries
,
and
come
we
to
the
pleasant
and
healthfull
foyle
.
Take
this
one
Citie
,
which
certainly
is
seated
as
well
for
health
,
Me
thinkes
I
am
like
the
Doue
,
which
flew
out
of
Noas
Atke
:
for
hauing
been
tossed
with
the
waters
hauing
scorched
my
wings
with
the
fire
,
The
creatures
vndoubtedly
,
are
not
so
subiect
to
famine
,
as
is
man
;
some
of
them
cause
a
dearth
amongst
vs
,
when
God
giues
the
labours
of
our
hands
(
the
fruits
of
the
earth
)
to
bee
deuoured
of
the
Grashopper
and
Catterpiller
,
as
much
better
deseruing
them
,
then
wee
wretched
&
sinful
men
:
to
others
(
as
it
appeares
in
the
Ant
)
God
hath
giuen
a
greater
forecast
&
prouidence
,
to
make
her
prouision
in
due
season
out
of
our
plentie
,
then
man
hath
or
can
haue
,
notwithstanding
his
reasonable
soule
.
Creatures
there
are
which
sleepe
all
winter
,
and
are
committed
to
the
safe
custodie
and
protection
of
nature
,
returning
with
the
Sunnes
returne
,
and
freed
from
the
sorrow
,
Leauing
the
elements
,
let
vs
come
to
our
bodies
consisting
of
elements
.
Why
should
man
be
more
subiect
to
diseases
,
Euery
time
and
season
hath
his
proper
and
peculiar
diseases
.
In
the
spring
time
,
when
nature
seemes
to
make
restitution
for
the
cold
winter
,
that
as
wee
were
formerly
exiled
from
a
garden
,
so
now
a
garden
should
be
brought
vnto
vs
,
But
when
we
awaken
,
and
see
nature
in
her
full
beautie
and
prime
,
how
she
is
crowned
with
garlands
and
varietie
of
flowers
,
how
she
boasts
of
the
fruitfulnesse
of
her
owne
wombe
,
From
the
diseases
,
let
vs
come
to
the
cure
:
and
first
for
the
dumbe
beasts
.
All
the
beasts
of
the
field
know
what
is
profitable
for
their
food
,
Hippocrates
,
Auicen
,
&c.
me
thinks
it
would
aske
a
mans
whole
life
to
peruse
them
.
It
were
wel
,
if
the
Physitian
might
be
priuiledged
and
dispensed
withall
for
his
health
,
vntill
he
had
finisht
the
course
of
his
studies
;
but
commonly
in
the
middest
of
them
,
sicknesse
preuents
him
;
setting
the
nature
of
diseases
before
his
own
eyes
,
they
sease
vpon
his
flesh
,
notwithstanding
his
great
learning
,
and
the
strong
bulwarke
of
his
physicke
.
Is
it
possible
that
all
these
huge
and
large
volumes
,
farre
exceeding
mans
body
in
largenesse
and
weight
,
should
not
bee
able
sufficiently
to
describe
it
,
but
that
euery
yeere
should
finde
out
some
place
&
part
of
mans
body
for
a
new
incroaching
disease
,
vnknowne
to
the
Ancients
,
and
wondred
at
by
the
professors
?
In
prescribing
their
physicke
,
obserue
how
curious
they
are
,
it
appeares
by
their
dosis
,
their
waights
,
ounces
,
dragmes
,
scruples
,
graines
,
as
if
they
were
able
to
square
out
,
and
to
proportion
nature
to
a
iust
rule
and
leuell
,
to
poyse
and
to
ballance
her
to
the
inch
:
consider
their
innumerable
Recipe's
,
From
the
Physitian
let
vs
come
to
the
Apothecaries
:
When
I
see
their
shops
so
well
stored
and
furnisht
with
their
painted
boxes
and
pots
,
in
stead
of
commending
the
owner
,
or
taking
delight
and
pleasure
in
the
shop
,
I
begin
to
pitie
poore
miserable
and
wretched
man
,
that
should
be
subiect
to
so
many
diseases
,
and
should
want
so
many
helps
for
his
cure
,
I
could
wish
that
his
pots
were
only
for
ornament
,
or
naked
and
emptie
,
or
that
they
did
but
onely
serue
for
his
credit
,
for
he
is
the
happie
man
that
can
liue
without
them
.
But
here
I
can
doe
no
lesse
,
In
fetching
this
physicke
(
these
Indian
drugs
)
thousands
doe
yeerely
endanger
their
liues
,
through
the
diuersitie
of
the
Climate
,
going
to
a
new
found
world
,
they
goe
indeed
to
another
world
:
The
diseases
of
our
bodie
come
to
vs
in
poste
,
or
on
horsebacke
,
but
they
depart
from
vs
on
foote
,
very
leisurely
and
softly
;
and
in
our
cures
,
nothing
so
easie
as
to
commit
an
error
,
Notwithstanding
all
physicke
,
and
all
other
meanes
,
which
God
hath
appointed
for
the
recouerie
of
our
health
,
yet
is
it
generally
acknowledged
,
that
there
are
certaine
incurable
diseases
.
From
the
inward
diseases
,
let
vs
come
to
the
outward
wrongs
and
iniuries
,
which
we
sustaine
from
each
other
,
and
these
seeme
to
proceede
for
want
of
good
order
and
gouernment
.
nisi
inter
dispares
feras
,
vnlesse
it
be
in
beasts
of
a
different
kinde
;
and
in
the
deserts
and
wildernesse
,
where
rauenous
creatures
doe
together
inhabite
.
Such
is
the
prouidence
and
gouernment
of
nature
,
that
they
liue
as
peaceably
as
wee
doe
,
in
our
best
walled
fortresses
and
townes
:
the
Citie
gates
though
shut
,
yet
sometimes
threaten
as
dangerous
home-bred
conspiracies
,
as
they
doe
secure
vs
of
outward
forraine
inuasions
.
Howsoeuer
,
I
would
not
taxe
any
law
or
kingdome
in
the
world
,
with
a
conniuencie
and
toleration
of
iniustice
;
yet
certaine
it
is
,
that
as
in
the
naturall
body
of
man
,
the
parts
neerest
the
heart
are
aptest
for
inflammation
,
and
in
the
remote
parts
,
nature
seemes
to
exclude
and
expell
all
excrements
and
filth
:
so
is
it
in
the
gouernment
of
kingdomes
,
But
I
may
speake
it
to
Gods
glorie
,
and
to
our
owne
comfort
,
there
is
no
nation
vnder
the
Sunne
,
wherein
iustice
hath
a
more
free
and
current
passage
then
heere
amongst
vs
.
Now
at
length
to
speake
of
the
seruices
and
slaueries
both
of
man
and
of
beast
,
if
the
dumbe
creatures
seeme
to
performe
any
dutie
or
seruice
to
man
,
as
man
himselfe
is
not
freed
from
the
like
or
the
same
seruice
,
Not
only
our
seruice
,
our
care
and
charge
ouer
them
,
but
generally
the
slauerie
of
man
,
seemes
to
bee
much
greater
then
theirs
.
First
that
it
is
in
the
same
kind
:
for
if
wee
were
to
attend
Angels
,
Suppose
the
creatures
were
in
subiection
to
man
,
and
did
require
no
mutuall
seruice
from
man
,
then
might
it
be
said
vnto
man
,
Adeóne
es
ferox
,
quia
habes
imperium
in
belluas
:
Is
this
the
greatest
point
of
your
glorie
,
But
lies
it
not
in
the
power
of
the
Starre
chamber
,
to
preuent
all
such
conspiracies
and
combinations
of
the
creatures
?
If
any
thing
seemes
to
detract
from
the
happinesse
of
beasts
,
in
respect
of
man
,
it
is
because
they
are
continually
subiect
to
slaughter
.
But
are
men
exempted
from
this
perill
?
In
regard
of
my
profession
,
I
would
not
willingly
intermeddle
in
causes
of
bloud
,
rather
let
all
penitent
sinners
and
offenders
against
law
,
freely
escape
by
the
benefit
of
their
Clergie
;
for
wee
preach
mercie
,
and
nothing
but
mercie
,
and
all
the
mercie
of
the
law
ought
to
be
ascribed
vnto
the
Clergie
.
Yet
here
I
can
doe
no
lesse
then
relate
a
truth
:
I
doe
therefore
call
you
Sergeants
,
Bailiffes
,
You
Captaines
and
Souldiers
;
wherefore
serues
your
plentie
of
Artillerie
?
such
roaring
Canons
,
battering
Peeces
,
Muskets
,
Petronels
,
Caliuers
,
and
Pistols
;
these
are
not
pot-guns
for
children
,
or
haile-shot
to
kill
a
wren
,
or
a
sparrow
,
or
birding-peeces
for
young
men
;
wherefore
serue
so
many
Black-bils
,
Polaxes
,
Pikes
,
Lances
,
such
Swords
,
Daggers
,
Rapiers
,
Poinadoes
,
such
variety
of
weapons
,
(
and
the
ancient
glory
of
England
)
the
Bowes
,
and
the
Arrowes
;
for
I
will
not
speake
of
vndermining
the
earth
,
the
opening
of
sluces
,
when
the
earth
and
the
water
seeme
to
deuoure
whole
armies
at
once
.
I
will
not
speake
of
other
stratagems
and
snares
in
warre
,
or
the
great
Massacres
in
peace
;
I
pray'
can
all
the
shambles
affoord
so
many
kniues
,
beetles
,
axes
,
as
there
are
tooles
and
instruments
prepared
for
man
.
Iulius
Caesar
alone
,
who
certainly
cannot
be
branded
with
any
note
of
the
greatest
crueltie
,
yet
in
his
battailes
,
he
is
said
,
to
vanquish
and
kill
an
eleuen
hundred
thousand
fighting
men
,
besides
his
owne
souldiers
,
who
were
slaine
in
the
conquest
.
From
the
death
of
man
and
beast
,
which
seemes
to
be
incident
and
common
both
to
man
and
to
beast
,
giue
me
leaue
to
speake
one
word
of
their
funerals
.
When
I
remember
how
the
young
chickins
,
I
haue
said
to
the
graue
,
thou
art
my
mother
,
and
to
the
worme
thou
art
my
brother
,
my
sister
,
my
kinsman
.
To
conclude
,
strange
it
is
,
that
in
the
dumbe
creatures
,
there
should
be
no
miserie
proper
and
peculiar
to
them
,
wherein
we
doe
not
share
with
them
alike
,
and
partake
in
their
misfortunes
:
but
many
ill
accidents
do
daily
befall
vs
,
not
onely
in
regard
of
our
reasonable
soule
,
Now
let
me
come
to
the
more
noble
part
,
to
speake
of
the
diseases
of
the
minde
:
Is
it
not
a
sufficient
miserie
,
The
only
comfort
in
all
bodily
afflictions
,
is
the
comfort
of
the
soule
to
the
members
,
the
patient
forbearance
and
hope
of
amendment
:
but
if
the
soule
her selfe
be
once
distressed
or
distracted
,
Speaking
of
the
diseases
of
the
minde
,
I
cannot
forget
,
that
I
haue
alreadie
proued
the
eternitie
and
immortalitie
of
the
soule
,
and
therfore
am
tied
(
as
it
were
)
by
promise
to
iustifie
my
former
assertions
,
to
excuse
the
same
soule
from
all
sicknesses
inclining
to
death
.
See
here
the
wonderfull
prouidence
of
God
,
morbi
animi
,
languores
animi
,
nothing
is
so
common
and
triuiall
among
the
heathen
Philosopher
;
as
if
I
should
say
in
effect
,
that
nature
discernes
a
second
death
,
a
death
of
sinne
,
though
not
a
second
birth
,
a
generation
to
righteousnesse
;
to
the
one
,
nature
is
inclined
,
and
very
fitly
disposed
,
and
therefore
sets
it
before
her
owne
eyes
;
in
the
other
,
nature
is
defectiue
,
and
no
way
prepares
man
,
and
therefore
as
blindfold
,
she
cannot
behold
it
;
our
inward
corruption
leades
vs
to
sinne
,
only
sanctifying
grace
recalles
vs
from
sinne
:
man
here
rests
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
heauen
is
aboue
,
hell
is
beneath
;
set
vp
a
ladder
,
and
he
shall
hardly
climbe
;
giue
him
wings
,
it
will
not
auaile
him
;
d●●
but
open
a
pit
,
and
he
shall
fall
with
great
ease
,
though
hee
finde
little
ease
in
his
fall
.
In
discouering
the
diseases
of
the
minde
,
I
will
tell
you
a
greater
miserie
:
Suppose
that
any
one
man
should
turne
franticke
in
a
hot
burning
feauer
,
and
should
perswade
himselfe
,
nihil
non
mentitur
iniquitas
sibi
.
Whereas
vertue
is
placed
betweene
the
extreames
,
vices
doe
now
cluster
together
in
such
multitudes
and
throngs
,
that
vertue
is
either
prest
to
death
,
or
wholly
excluded
;
vertue
no
longer
appearing
,
vices
sit
in
the
throne
,
and
vsurpe
the
chaire
of
estate
.
On
the
contrarie
,
vertue
is
sometimes
reputed
for
vice
,
and
so
loseth
a
great
part
of
her
happinesse
,
which
consists
in
due
esteeme
and
reputation
,
besides
her
attractiue
power
,
to
draw
all
others
to
the
imitation
of
her selfe
.
Hitherto
we
seeme
to
doubt
of
the
diseases
:
now
at
length
if
we
conclude
in
generall
that
vertue
is
vertue
,
that
sinne
is
sinne
,
and
vice
is
vice
;
then
here
is
a
second
miserie
,
For
the
seuerall
diseases
of
the
minde
,
compare
them
to
the
sicknesses
of
the
body
:
Pride
seemes
to
be
an
inordinate
swelling
,
like
a
dropsie
,
which
with
wind
,
waters
,
or
ill
humours
,
puffes
vp
the
flesh
;
for
good
blood
,
which
serues
for
our
strength
,
and
our
nourishment
,
will
containe
it selfe
within
his
owne
bounds
.
Suppose
there
were
some
innocent
men
not
tainted
with
these
vices
;
then
must
you
conceiue
that
I
do
not
speake
of
the
persons
,
but
of
the
nature
in
generall
:
for
I
will
not
dispute
how
powerfull
in
the
heart
of
man
,
If
there
were
no
other
punishment
of
vice
,
but
vice
it selfe
,
this
were
sufficient
;
for
nature
hath
imprinted
in
euery
man
a
hate
and
detestation
of
sinne
:
but
God
in
his
iustice
,
Notwithstanding
the
punishment
of
sinne
,
and
the
vncleannesse
of
sinne
,
yet
I
will
spare
my selfe
this
labour
,
to
speake
of
mans
seuerall
vices
.
For
howsoeuer
they
are
generally
acknowledged
,
as
the
diseases
of
the
minde
,
seeing
that
mans
owne
reason
,
and
his
naturall
instinct
,
will
therein
testifie
against
himselfe
,
and
therefore
they
should
be
the
greatest
torments
to
nature
:
It
hath
pleased
God
for
the
continuall
memorie
of
mans
first
offence
,
still
to
permit
in
man
,
an
inordinate
desire
of
knowledge
,
notwithstanding
his
naturall
ignorance
.
From
the
error
in
the
vnderstanding
,
let
vs
come
to
the
will
in
the
actions
.
Strange
it
is
,
that
there
should
be
no
conformity
in
man
,
Suppose
that
the
vnderstanding
either
not
possest
with
error
,
or
not
hastening
to
be
resolued
,
should
not
torment
it selfe
with
expectation
;
nor
the
will
should
be
disquieted
by
prolonging
her
hopes
,
but
that
the
one
were
enlightened
with
true
wisdome
,
Me
thinkes
,
I
see
the
state
and
condition
of
euery
man
,
Suppose
a
man
to
bee
carelesse
and
dissolute
of
his
worldly
estate
;
If
man
were
sufficiently
prepared
to
die
,
and
that
he
did
not
respect
the
shortnesse
of
his
owne
daies
,
in
hope
of
a
better
world
to
succeed
;
I
know
not
how
other
men
may
stand
affected
to
death
;
but
in
truth
this
very
thought
doth
more
perplexe
me
,
If
there
were
any
ioy
or
contentment
here
in
this
life
,
the
dumbe
creatures
,
extrema
gaudij
luctus
occupat
:
setting
before
his
owne
eyes
the
frailty
,
shortnesse
,
and
vncertainty
of
his
life
;
and
that
in
death
his
honour
,
his
wealth
,
and
all
his
delights
must
forsake
him
,
torments
himselfe
with
thought
and
expectation
hereof
,
before
the
sentence
be
past
,
or
the
blow
strucken
:
like
poore
prisoners
,
who
are
more
then
halfe
dead
,
before
the
Iudges
approch
.
And
hitherto
hath
appeared
our
torments
consisting
onely
in
the
foresight
,
the
fearfulnesse
and
preuention
of
euill
:
now
in
the
present
sustaining
therof
,
I
shall
not
need
to
speake
of
the
torture
.
It
may
seeme
to
make
for
natures
perfection
,
quietus
est
,
out
of
Gods
Exchequer
;
and
therefore
must
alwaies
be
ready
to
giue
an
account
of
his
stewardship
.
From
this
tenacitie
of
memorie
,
It
should
seeme
,
that
the
soule
being
eternall
in
her selfe
,
Thus
our
daily
calamities
seeme
to
haue
the
nature
of
serpents
,
From
the
powers
and
faculties
of
mans
minde
,
Not
to
speake
,
how
easily
man
is
moued
to
these
passions
,
or
how
these
passions
stand
in
opposition
to
each
other
:
how
they
doe
degenerate
betweene
themselues
,
looke
to
the
fruites
and
effects
of
each
passion
,
I
shall
not
heere
need
to
insist
in
the
variety
of
passions
;
take
any
one
of
them
seuerally
by
it selfe
:
Doth
not
choller
exceedingly
disquiet
man
,
shortens
his
dayes
,
And
it
is
the
more
to
bee
lamented
,
that
the
best
wits
should
bee
most
subiect
to
these
fits
;
and
in
the
most
noble
and
deepest
vnderstandings
,
you
shall
most
easily
discerne
some
tokens
and
signes
of
melancholie
.
But
you
will
say
,
that
these
are
therefore
the
lesse
,
because
they
consist
in
the
phansie
:
nay
rather
much
greater
,
Not
in
himselfe
alone
shall
man
finde
the
fruites
of
these
turbulent
passions
;
but
being
a
sociable
creature
,
you
shal
obserue
how
they
daily
burst
forth
in
his
actions
and
conuersation
among
men
.
Youth
strong
in
body
,
Man
being
a
sociable
creature
,
what
is
there
in
this
world
,
which
he
should
esteeme
more
then
his
credit
and
reputation
among
men
.
Pride
was
the
first
sinne
of
man
,
and
euery
man
is
naturally
enclined
vnto
pride
,
as
well
knowing
the
dignitie
of
his
condition
,
and
his
height
aboue
other
creatures
;
Man
being
a
sociable
creature
,
hee
carries
a
greater
reference
and
relation
to
others
:
and
therefore
not
in
our selues
alone
,
not
in
our selues
,
are
the
causes
of
our
griefe
;
Suppose
any
man
were
freed
from
these
annoyances
,
as
indeed
few
there
are
,
whom
neither
kindred
,
nor
friends
,
nor
followers
did
any
way
grieue
or
molest
;
yet
in
the
streetes
or
high
way
side
,
You
may
thinke
that
I
am
driuen
to
some
great
exigent
,
that
now
at
length
I
should
speake
of
the
outcast
of
men
;
as
if
I
were
to
visite
some
Hospitals
,
or
to
make
a
diligent
search
or
inquisition
for
all
those
miserable
creatures
,
The
qualities
I
will
thus
diuide
:
They
are
such
as
either
are
in
our selues
:
1.
as
are
the
gifts
of
the
bodie
,
the
beautie
and
comelinesse
of
parts
:
2.
First
for
beautie
,
for
it
appeares
first
to
the
sight
,
and
carries
the
best
glosse
:
the
fairest
beautie
and
complection
,
though
proudest
of
her selfe
,
yet
she
neuer
enioyes
her selfe
;
In
truth
I
doe
much
pitie
many
,
who
seeme
neither
to
regard
their
owne
ease
,
nor
their
warm'th
,
so
that
they
may
adorne
their
owne
beautie
;
From
the
beautie
and
comelinesse
of
members
,
let
vs
come
to
the
inward
light
and
beames
of
the
vnderstanding
:
The
world
is
a
Sophister
,
and
frames
a
fallacie
,
à
bene
compositis
ad
mal●
diuisa
,
making
a
strange
difference
and
separation
betweene
true
wisedome
and
learning
:
whereas
indeed
there
is
no
difference
at
all
,
but
they
are
one
and
the
same
facultie
;
wisedome
is
learning
,
Great
wits
breed
melancholy
thoughts
,
and
serue
rather
to
stirre
vp
ielousies
and
feares
,
then
to
giue
courage
and
resolution
:
the
multiplicitie
of
their
proiects
hinders
their
actions
,
and
sometimes
the
wit
contents
●t
selfe
with
a
vaine
speculation
of
his
owne
plots
,
together
with
an
idle
discourse
,
what
would
be
done
,
or
could
bee
done
,
Great
learning
seemes
to
transport
a
man
to
an
element
aboue
himselfe
,
I
dare
excuse
nothing
from
vanitie
,
and
therefore
I
must
truly
confesse
,
that
learning
seemes
to
bee
defectiue
in
her selfe
.
For
as
the
whole
world
is
circular
,
and
as
whole
nature
consists
in
alteration
and
change
,
the
night
succeeding
the
day
,
and
the
day
the
night
:
so
learning
seemes
to
runne
in
a
circle
or
maze
,
Ars
est
dissimul●re
artem
:
we
must
not
alwaies
be
precise
in
obseruing
the
rules
of
an
Art
;
wee
must
not
stand
strictly
vpon
the
formes
of
our
Syllogismes
;
as
if
the
reasonable
soule
were
not
capable
of
a
reasonable
discourse
,
but
she
must
spell
out
the
sense
,
by
knitting
and
vniting
the
propositions
according
to
mood
and
to
figure
.
Here
are
the
excrements
I
confesse
,
not
vnlike
the
wings
or
skirts
of
a
garment
,
or
the
warts
or
spots
of
the
flesh
,
which
serue
for
lustre
and
ornament
of
the
rest
,
and
not
for
any
speciall
vse
and
commoditie
:
whereas
true
learning
doth
wonderfully
enlighten
the
vnderstanding
,
quickens
the
inuention
,
directs
the
iudgement
,
makes
a
dissection
of
nature
,
opens
the
entrailes
,
and
seeing
the
wisedome
of
the
Creator
,
contents
the
curiositie
of
our
mindes
,
prepares
the
way
to
religion
,
guides
and
directs
vs
in
our
actions
.
Giue
me
leaue
in
one
word
to
speake
in
defence
of
the
Schooles
:
This
is
an
infirmitie
,
which
is
not
onely
incident
to
Vniuersitie
learning
,
The
benefit
which
all
professions
seeme
to
receiue
from
schoole-learning
is
such
▪
and
so
great
,
as
that
they
being
not
able
with
due
thankfulnesse
,
to
make
any
kind
of
recompence
,
From
the
person
and
inward
gifts
of
man
,
let
vs
come
to
his
substance
,
which
doth
most
moue
the
common
sort
of
men
,
No●
t●us
hic
capiet
venter
,
plusquam
me●s
:
Nature
hath
not
giuen
thee
a
broad
backe
,
and
an
emptie
belly
,
according
to
the
measure
and
proportion
of
thy
wealth
;
thou
canst
take
no
more
of
thy
great
wealth
,
then
wee
can
doe
of
our
little
:
here
is
thy
comfort
indeed
,
that
thou
tak●st
it
from
a
greater
heape
,
and
pleasest
thy selfe
with
a
conceite
of
thine
owne
ple●tie
.
But
Christi●n
religion
,
whose
God
appeared
in
basenesse
and
pouerty
,
descends
much
lower
,
both
for
the
imitation
of
Christ
,
that
God
beholding
vs
,
hee
might
discerne
in
vs
,
not
onely
his
owne
im●ge
,
but
likewis●
the
image
of
his
deare
sonne
,
who
sustained
our
infirmities
and
wants
;
as
likewise
for
penance
,
it
prescribes
a
more
strict
mortification
;
in
the
midst
of
our
plentie
and
abundance
,
we
are
enioyned
our
fastings
,
our
sackcloth
,
our
ashes
:
and
wherefore
serues
thy
great
wealth
,
vnlesse
thou
wilt
,
with
the
superfluitie
of
thy
wealth
,
as
it
were
with
the
haire
of
thy
head
,
wipe
the
feet
of
thy
Sauiour
,
comfort
the
comfortlesse
,
and
helpe
the
distressed
members
of
Christ
?
If
thou
hadst
nothing
,
then
if
thou
canst
learne
to
contemne
and
despise
wealth
,
thy
state
is
much
more
glorious
and
happie
,
then
if
thou
enioyedst
all
the
treasures
the
whole
earth
could
affoord
thee
.
Pouerty
in
spirit
,
Goe
and
sell
all
that
thou
hast
,
and
giue
to
the
poore
,
it
is
a
state
Angelicall
,
best
befitting
Christ
and
his
Apostles
.
The
richest
man
vpon
some
occasion
,
There
is
a
generation
of
men
,
who
notwithstanding
their
owne
abundance
,
yet
denie
vnto
themselues
necessarie
prouision
for
this
life
;
Many
men
haue
laboured
much
,
But
now
we
are
in
the
rode
,
we
haue
but
a
few
〈◊〉
riding
;
I
pray'
let
vs
hasten
to
London
,
there
is
the
Mart
,
Lay
vp
these
money
bagges
;
from
wealth
I
wil
come
vnto
honour
,
as
others
by
wealth
come
vnto
honour
:
The
glittering
and
gingling
of
gold
seems
to
resemble
honour
;
which
is
a
pretie
noise
,
a
sound
,
a
kind
of
fame
or
report
:
if
it
want
meanes
to
support
it
,
it
is
like
saleable
stuffe
,
Especially
in
a
subiect
,
liuing
vnder
a
Monarchy
,
gratious
with
his
Prince
,
beloued
of
the
people
:
this
double
reference
to
the
Prince
,
to
the
people
,
makes
his
state
dangerous
and
almost
desperate
;
the
one
fearing
and
suspecting
him
,
the
other
laying
to
his
charge
all
the
distastfull
actions
of
State
:
for
this
man
long
to
continue
,
to
hold
fast
with
both
hands
,
taking
his
honour
from
aboue
,
his
loue
&
reputation
from
beneath
,
and
thus
to
hang
in
the
aire
betweene
heauen
&
earth
,
is
a
worke
very
difficult
,
almost
impossible
.
When
honour
is
at
the
best
,
Thus
it
should
seeme
,
that
the
Ceremoniall
law
is
no
way
abolisht
,
but
onely
translated
from
the
Temple
of
the
Iewes
to
the
palaces
of
our
Nobles
.
All
their
honour
consists
in
shewes
,
and
in
ceremonies
;
and
therefore
wee
may
well
feare
,
that
they
haue
but
onely
the
shew
of
honour
.
Suppose
that
a
stranger
,
or
one
vnacquainted
with
these
honourable
courses
,
should
bee
admitted
in
the
time
of
some
great
feast
,
(
as
the
manner
is
)
to
see
the
fashions
and
conditions
of
the
place
,
I
pra'y
,
obserue
,
As
it
is
in
their
feasts
,
so
it
is
in
their
funerals
;
as
it
is
in
their
liues
,
Christopher
Hattons
tombe
(
because
I
haue
named
the
Gentleman
,
and
that
I
desire
that
all
things
may
bee
spoken
without
offence
,
I
will
giue
him
his
due
praise
and
commendation
;
in
his
time
he
was
a
very
honourable
minded
man
,
no
practising
statesman
,
first
contriuing
,
and
then
very
wisely
discouering
his
owne
plots
:
but
of
faire
and
ingenious
conditions
,
highly
fauoured
of
his
Prince
,
and
generally
beloued
of
the
people
;
and
one
to
whom
the
present
Church
of
England
,
is
as
much
indebted
in
true
loue
and
thankfulnes
,
as
to
any
lay
subiect
that
euer
liued
in
this
kingdome
)
:
when
I
see
his
tombe
,
me
thinkes
hee
should
not
bee
like
the
ordinarie
sort
of
our
men
,
such
huge
commendations
,
such
titles
,
such
pillars
,
such
gilding
,
such
caruing
,
such
a
huge
monument
,
to
couer
so
small
a
body
as
ours
it
cannot
be
.
Send
for
the
Mazons
,
will
them
to
bring
hither
their
instruments
and
tooles
,
their
mattocks
,
spades
,
hammers
,
&c.
let
vs
pull
downe
this
tombe
,
see
his
excellencie
and
greatnesse
,
let
vs
take
his
proportion
:
But
stay
your
hands
,
I
will
saue
you
all
that
labour
,
for
I
will
tell
you
in
briefe
(
if
my
tale
were
worth
the
telling
)
what
you
shall
finde
,
a
few
rotten
bones
,
and
a
handfull
of
dust
;
some
crawling
wormes
,
which
haue
deuoured
this
great
little
man
,
whom
we
supposed
to
haue
bin
as
great
vnder
the
earth
,
as
wee
see
his
monument
statelie
mounted
aboue
ground
.
Is
there
deceit
and
cosonage
among
the
dead
?
or
rather
doe
the
liuing
heires
and
suruiuors
intend
their
own
glorie
in
the
tombe
of
their
ancestors
?
Well
,
howsoeuer
liuing
or
dead
,
man
is
altogether
vanitie
,
deluding
the
world
with
shewes
;
and
making
great
appearance
of
things
,
which
are
small
in
themselues
.
Thus
we
deceiue
,
and
wee
are
deceiued
,
the
world
is
growne
old
,
her
●ight
begins
to
faile
her
,
she
hath
put
on
spectacles
,
and
the
things
of
this
world
seeme
farre
greater
,
then
they
are
in
veritie
and
truth
,
and
greater
to
vs
then
they
seemed
to
the
ancients
.
Wee
carrie
(
I
confesse
)
a
greater
glosse
and
varnish
then
they
did
,
I
doe
not
doubt
,
but
as
there
are
seuerall
kindes
of
creatures
,
so
in
the
same
kinde
there
may
be
a
great
difference
,
fortes
cre●●tur
fortibus
&
bonis
,
not
only
in
regard
that
the
posteritie
doth
naturally
affect
to
follow
the
steppes
of
their
ancestors
;
as
likewise
in
regard
of
Gods
promise
,
who
will
be
a
father
of
his
elect
and
of
their
seede
;
and
according
to
the
truth
and
certaintie
of
his
owne
nature
,
will
continue
his
gratious
mercies
from
generation
to
generation
;
but
likewise
in
regard
of
the
naturall
and
inbred
qualities
,
arising
from
the
temper
and
consti●●tion
of
the
seed
.
Thus
God
intending
to
take
our
manhood
vpon
himselfe
,
he
made
choice
of
his
owne
stock
and
familie
,
euen
the
tribe
of
I●da
,
the
royall
race
for
his
parentage
:
and
this
doth
make
much
for
the
dignitie
and
honour
of
noble
descents
;
though
otherwise
we
must
not
herein
presume
too
farre
,
for
the
tribes
are
now
confounded
,
and
we
are
all
the
sonnes
of
Abraham
.
The
fathers
vertues
are
not
alwaies
intaild
to
his
seede
,
the
blood
full
often
is
tainted
;
and
Gods
mercie
in
these
daies
is
inlarged
,
making
no
difference
or
acceptation
of
persons
:
for
the
last
age
brought
foorth
a
butchers
sonne
,
of
as
braue
and
as
magnificent
a
spirit
,
as
if
he
had
been
the
sonne
of
Caesar.
Hauing
lost
the
noblenesse
of
our
mindes
,
and
discouered
the
counterfeit
shewes
of
our
honour
;
giue
me
leaue
in
the
last
place
,
to
hunt
after
our
sports
,
and
our
pleasures
.
For
the
delights
of
men
,
I
would
gladly
know
wherein
they
consist
;
if
in
the
actions
of
sense
,
or
of
bodie
,
Consider
(
I
pray'
)
their
great
trouble
and
paines
;
such
violent
labour
,
such
dangerous
riding
;
the
high
waies
cannot
alwaies
containe
them
,
but
ouer
the
hedges
and
ditches
;
here
begins
the
crie
and
the
curse
of
the
poore
t●nant
,
who
sits
at
a
hard
rent
,
and
sees
his
corne
spoyled
;
As
we
are
deluded
in
their
sports
,
so
likewise
in
their
persons
:
I
had
thought
that
Huntsmen
and
Faulconers
had
been
in
the
nature
of
our
Heardsmen
;
but
in
truth
,
they
are
well
mounted
and
horst
,
Thus
briefly
in
effect
,
Beautie
is
as
a
fading
flower
,
and
serues
to
incense
lust
:
Honour
increaseth
pride
,
the
height
makes
greater
the
downfall
:
Wealth
breedes
carefulnes
,
deiects
the
minde
,
and
makes
man
a
slaue
:
Learning
tends
to
confusion
,
great
wisedome
rather
breedes
a
distaste
,
and
a
dislike
in
nature
,
then
giues
any
contentment
:
All
pleasures
consist
in
the
fansie
,
according
to
mans
owne
apprehension
.
Now
proportion
these
fiue
seuerall
qualities
,
to
the
fiue
seuerall
senses
of
mans
bodie
;
wisdome
to
the
sent
,
beautie
to
the
sight
,
honour
to
the
eare
,
wealth
to
the
touch
,
pleasures
to
the
taste
.
Suppose
a
man
to
consist
of
fiue
senses
,
and
to
haue
the
full
measure
of
these
fiue
seuerall
obiects
;
yet
certaine
it
is
,
that
all
the
ioyes
in
the
world
can
giue
his
heart
no
true
contentment
;
but
the
least
sorrow
and
griefe
deiects
the
high
minde
,
and
brings
downe
his
courage
.
If
thou
haddest
wealth
,
more
wealth
thou
requirest
,
and
in
euery
action
an
excesse
is
distastfull
;
but
if
in
the
middest
of
all
thy
ioyes
,
the
least
griefe
should
assault
thee
;
Suppose
thou
couldest
distill
all
thy
pleasures
,
and
free
them
from
sorrow
,
as
it
were
separating
their
drosse
,
so
that
many
whole
and
entire
perfections
should
bee
linckt
in
thy
person
;
Suppose
the
whole
day
were
spent
in
iolitie
and
mirth
,
If
there
be
any
ioyes
in
the
creature
,
O
the
wonderfull
ioyes
of
him
that
created
!
This
I
speake
,
supposing
there
were
some
ioy
in
the
creature
,
which
if
there
were
any
,
thy
minde
might
be
transported
and
carried
,
by
the
ladder
or
bridge
of
the
creatures
,
to
the
loue
of
thy
creator
.
For
as
it
pleased
God
to
ordaine
a
ceremoniall
law
,
differing
from
the
naturall
law
,
according
to
the
wisdome
of
his
owne
institution
:
so
assuredly
the
minde
of
man
,
which
delights
in
nothing
so
much
as
in
mysteries
,
may
make
whole
nature
a
ceremony
,
and
all
the
creatures
tipes
and
resemblances
of
spirituall
things
;
for
thus
the
land
of
promise
did
figure
out
the
heauenly
Ierusalem
,
and
this
I
cannot
dislike
in
the
practise
of
any
mans
priuat
deuotion
.
But
I
must
call
to
mind
my
first
intention
,
which
was
to
proue
that
the
ioy
of
the
creature
was
only
vanity
,
and
this
shal
appeare
by
these
three
circumstances
.
1.
The
variety
of
mens
iudgements
in
the
choice
of
their
owne
happines
,
which
certainly
proceeds
from
the
fansie
;
for
right
reason
hath
but
one
only
foundation
,
and
God
will
not
admit
any
difference
.
2.
This
their
conceited
or
supposed
happines
neuer
consists
in
the
present
;
insomuch
that
man
can
neuer
say
vnto
himselfe
now
I
am
happy
:
but
his
happines
is
alwayes
either
past
,
gon
and
already
spent
,
or
els
comming
in
expectation
;
like
some
desperat
debt
,
when
faire
promises
serue
for
our
payment
.
3.
He
that
shall
peruse
Aristotles
Ethickes
,
will
wonder
how
it
is
possible
,
that
there
should
be
so
many
seuerall
opinions
concerning
happines
;
Suppose
we
did
agree
for
the
qualitie
,
what
it
were
to
be
happie
,
then
let
vs
search
for
the
person
;
Thus
is
the
world
deluded
with
hopes
,
and
men
goe
a
whoring
after
their
owne
inuentions
;
the
person
is
as
vncertaine
as
is
the
qualitie
,
for
wee
cannot
resolue
what
happines
is
,
nor
doe
we
know
where
to
finde
out
that
happy
man
(
I
speake
onely
of
such
a
happines
as
may
be
competent
and
agreeable
to
our
present
condition
)
:
Still
we
desire
to
comfort
our selues
that
there
is
some
happines
,
that
so
we
might
receiue
ioy
though
not
in
the
present
possession
,
yet
in
the
hope
or
expectation
.
And
to
this
end
,
see
the
cunning
&
subtile
●ua●●on
of
this
world
,
ante
obitum
nemo
supremaque
funera
foelix
.
Happinesse
it
should
seeme
is
buried
,
no
man
is
happy
before
his
death
:
as
if
a
man
should
then
account
him selfe
happy
,
when
he
is
past
his
account
,
and
lies
in
the
graue
,
(
I
speake
according
to
the
naturall
man
)
;
&
this
procrastination
of
happines
,
I
suppose
to
be
an
absolute
deniall
of
happines
,
for
indeed
nature
cannot
supply
it
.
And
this
appeares
,
not
only
in
the
seuerall
persons
of
men
,
whom
you
may
taxe
with
affections
,
&
who
might
mistake
in
their
ends
;
but
consider
whole
mankind
,
and
you
shall
obserue
,
that
some
nations
thinke
other
nations
to
be
happy
,
in
respect
of
themselues
:
stockes
,
families
&
kindreds
do
the
like
,
and
generally
all
the
states
of
men
,
seeing
no
iust
cause
in
themselues
,
wherein
they
might
glory
,
begin
to
commend
and
desire
an
other
state
and
condition
of
life
,
Seeing
we
are
thus
well
perswaded
of
other
mens
states
and
courses
of
life
,
(
though
otherwise
wee
are
in
some
dislike
with
our
owne
)
,
I
cannot
sufficiently
discharge
mine
owne
dutie
and
conscience
,
vnlesse
I
shall
speake
of
those
miseries
,
which
are
proper
and
peculiar
to
euery
state
in
particular
.
Heauen
and
earth
standing
in
opposition
to
each
other
,
the
deeper
you
sinke
in
the
one
,
the
more
remote
you
are
from
the
other
.
Suppose
these
worldly
ioyes
to
be
the
shadowes
of
true
ioyes
,
(
as
indeed
they
are
no
more
then
the
shadowes
)
,
if
I
set
the
shadow
before
me
,
then
the
light
is
behind
me
;
if
the
light
be
before
me
,
the
shadow
is
behind
me
;
respecting
the
one
,
I
neglect
the
other
:
the
loue
of
heauen
and
of
earth
cannot
together
subsist
,
Thus
necessity
may
seeme
to
enforce
me
,
that
I
leaue
nothing
vnsearched
,
where
happines
might
be
concealed
or
hid
;
consider
likewise
the
principall
intent
of
this
Treatise
,
for
I
did
propose
vnto
my selfe
foure
things
in
this
second
part
.
1.
Intending
to
speake
of
the
s●u●r●ll
states
of
men
,
to
search
where
I
might
finde
out
true
●oy
and
contentment
in
nature
,
I
must
confesse
,
that
as
in
all
other
things
,
so
here
especially
I
shall
be
most
defectiue
;
least
an
offence
should
be
taken
where
an
offence
is
not
giuen
.
God
forbid
,
that
I
should
so
far
wrong
mine
owne
soule
,
tanquam
terram
remotam
incognitam
,
to
be
searched
out
by
the
godly
and
daily
meditation
of
euery
religious
and
deuout
man
;
who
in
the
clause
and
latter
end
of
the
day
,
calling
himselfe
to
the
account
of
his
forepassed
life
,
together
with
the
actions
of
that
present
day
,
shall
therein
finde
the
vndoubted
fruit
o●
Gods
iustice
;
and
if
our
sins
haue
past
without
remorse
of
conscience
,
then
this
examination
(
wherein
we
call
our selues
to
account
)
shall
serue
as
a
sufficient
occasion
,
to
stir
vs
vp
to
repentance
and
sorrow
,
vnà
cum
nube
testi●●●
▪
with
a
cloud
of
witnesses
,
all
our
distilling
teares
,
all
our
sobs
and
our
sighs
confessing
our
sins
.
For
the
common
sort
of
men
,
I
might
well
reckon
them
among
beasts
,
vulgus
hominum
,
inter
vulgus
animalium
,
For
the
better
sort
of
men
(
for
so
the
world
accounteth
them
)
I
meane
the
rich
men
of
this
world
,
if
borne
to
great
fortunes
,
then
they
neuer
vnderstand
their
owne
happines
,
for
contraries
are
best
knowne
by
their
contraries
;
vix
ea
nostra
voco
:
as
we
know
not
the
paines
in
the
getting
,
so
commonly
we
doe
not
taste
the
sweetnesse
in
the
enioying
;
if
otherwise
from
base
and
meane
condition
they
be
raised
,
they
shall
finde
it
a
great
difficulty
with
the
change
of
their
fortunes
,
to
change
their
owne
mindes
,
and
to
forget
their
first
selues
;
they
shall
hardly
learne
the
art
of
magnificence
.
And
generally
in
the
rich
men
of
this
world
,
when
I
consider
the
largenes
of
their
meanes
,
how
it
serues
to
many
of
them
,
as
fuell
to
their
luxury
and
riot
,
insomuch
that
they
doe
not
number
halfe
their
dayes
,
but
in
the
middle
course
of
their
age
,
they
are
tormented
with
coughes
,
with
aches
,
with
gouts
,
with
dropsies
and
stones
;
and
that
which
I
haue
obserued
in
some
of
them
,
the
greatnesse
of
their
estate
entaild
and
descending
vpon
them
,
cannot
counteruaile
some
hereditary
disease
,
which
they
likewise
receiue
from
their
parents
:
in
truth
I
doe
not
enuy
their
estate
,
for
I
am
verily
perswaded
,
that
there
may
bee
as
much
contentment
and
happines
in
the
poorest
cottage
,
as
in
the
greatest
pallace
.
But
I
will
descend
more
particularly
to
the
states
of
men
,
only
insisting
in
the
more
noble
professions
of
men
,
which
seeme
to
be
the
happy
callings
here
vpon
earth
,
and
wherein
they
place
their
happines
,
I
will
shew
their
misery
.
Iudicium
incipiat
à
domo
Dei
,
I
should
first
begin
with
the
house
of
God
;
but
I
pray'
pardon
me
,
if
I
forbeare
to
speake
of
the
grieuances
and
complaints
of
the
Cleargy
:
Pannormitan
saith
▪
Laici
semper
sunt
infensi
clericis
;
it
should
seeme
,
that
together
with
the
head
,
the
members
are
crucified
▪
crucified
not
alwayes
in
bloud
,
but
with
shame
and
with
contempt
;
while
souldiers
cast
lots
for
our
garments
,
the
reuenewes
of
the
Church
made
a
prey
for
the
infidell
:
yet
I
do
not
doubt
of
Gods
mercy
,
but
they
shall
receiue
the
full
benefit
of
our
labours
,
notwithstanding
they
hate
our
persons
,
and
despise
our
profession
;
for
so
we
our selues
haue
iustly
deserued
.
A
strange
iudgement
hath
lately
befallen
them
;
while
they
continued
in
their
owne
countries
,
kept
great
houses
,
The
trueth
is
,
that
this
retired
life
of
the
gentry
;
drawes
with
it
far
greater
charge
and
expense
,
then
was
formerly
spent
in
hospitallity
:
not
only
because
it
giues
occasion
,
A
second
vanitie
in
our
Gentrie
,
is
,
their
needlesse
and
vnprofitable
buildings
,
especially
when
Citizens
turne
Gentlemen
,
In
their
estate
of
land
,
how
exceedingly
doe
they
perplexe
themselues
with
their
continuall
purchases
?
if
they
could
but
procure
a
more
competent
demaine
,
they
would
rest
satisfied
:
when
they
haue
gotten
this
demaine
,
yet
still
there
will
remaine
a
desire
to
purchase
all
that
lies
in
one
leauell
,
all
that
holds
by
one
tenure
,
Not
onely
in
their
continuall
purchases
,
but
likewise
in
their
present
possessions
,
how
are
they
troubled
and
disquieted
in
thoughts
?
For
as
the
mind
of
man
is
griple
and
needie
,
In
their
conueyances
obserue
how
curious
they
are
,
the
possession
is
giuen
to
one
,
to
the
vse
of
another
;
the
reuersion
to
a
third
,
in
the
behalfe
of
a
fourth
;
with
such
nice
clauses
and
conditions
,
Lastly
,
how
doe
they
trouble
and
busie
themselues
with
entailes
?
as
if
they
would
alter
the
state
and
condition
of
this
world
;
which
being
a
world
of
change
and
alteration
,
ex
generatione
vnius
,
fit
corruptio
alterius
:
They
lay
deepe
foundations
,
and
desire
a
setled
state
of
continuance
and
perpetuitie
here
vpon
earth
;
but
it
is
already
resolued
,
that
it
is
easier
to
dissolue
,
then
to
compose
.
The
best
kind
of
intaile
is
,
to
haue
his
goods
honestly
gotten
;
to
bring
vp
his
children
in
Gods
feare
;
Domini
est
terra
&
plenitudo
eius
:
Lord
I
giue
thee
humble
thankes
for
mine
owne
vse
and
employment
;
and
if
my
sonnes
,
according
to
the
flesh
,
shall
not
succeede
me
;
then
let
thy
sonnes
,
according
to
the
spirit
,
be
heires
of
thy
promised
land
,
&c.
Me
thinkes
I
see
our
Lawyers
hold
fast
to
the
gentrie
;
and
therefore
I
must
speake
of
them
in
the
next
place
.
If
the
earth
it selfe
were
stable
&
constant
,
Notwithstanding
that
I
am
verily
perswaded
,
that
they
are
as
iust
,
as
vpright
,
as
free
from
briberie
and
extortion
,
Vae
Assur
virgae
furocis
mei
:
the
instruments
of
iustice
,
are
alwaies
fearfull
,
but
seldome
doe
stirre
vp
true
loue
,
and
affection
.
This
enuie
and
hate
to
their
persons
,
hath
raised
vp
many
malitious
slanders
,
and
hath
laid
many
false
imputations
vpon
the
profession
.
For
thus
it
hath
been
the
complaint
of
all
ages
,
leges
esse
telas
aranearum
,
vel
quia
iuridici
sunt
araneae
,
vel
quia
muscas
capiunt
,
&
vespas
dimittunt
.
But
I
am
not
of
their
mind
;
for
I
thinke
,
that
God
in
his
prouidence
hath
so
fitly
ordained
it
,
as
prophecying
,
or
prescribing
a
lesson
;
that
the
timber
in
Westminster
Hall
,
should
neither
admit
cobweb
,
nor
spider
:
and
God
make
vs
thankfull
for
the
free
course
of
our
iustice
.
God
forbid
that
other
mens
reproches
and
slanders
should
make
them
miserable
.
Enuie
may
follow
,
but
shall
neuer
be
able
to
suppresse
,
or
to
ouertake
the
vertuous
and
innocent
.
Then
let
vs
consider
them
in
themselues
,
Their
practice
may
truly
be
called
practice
,
and
nothing
but
practice
;
for
no
state
of
life
is
so
troublesome
and
laborious
as
theirs
:
Before
I
can
be
dismissed
the
Court
,
I
pra'y
giue
me
leaue
to
make
one
motion
to
the
Iudges
.
When
they
ride
to
their
Assises
,
all
the
whole
countrey
attends
them
,
(
for
they
beare
the
Kings
person
)
:
the
Sheriffes
,
the
vnder-Sheriffes
,
From
the
suburbes
,
where
I
will
leaue
the
Lawyers
,
let
vs
come
to
the
rich
Citizens
:
If
now
they
liue
in
plentie
and
wealth
,
it
is
well
knowne
that
(
in
their
younger
yeeres
)
their
wealth
hath
been
gotten
by
sparing
,
thriftinesse
and
wants
;
In
telling
ouer
great
summes
of
money
our
fingers
grow
black
:
as
yet
I
neuer
knew
any
man
,
that
by
his
husbandrie
and
honest
manuall
labour
could
euer
attain
to
an
Aldermans
wealth
.
The
Citizens
know
how
to
estimate
the
laying
out
of
their
money
,
their
freedome
and
trade
,
their
skill
in
buying
and
selling
,
playing
vpon
aduantage
with
other
mens
ignorance
,
and
to
vnderualue
poore
mens
labours
:
yet
they
must
not
take
it
vnkindly
,
if
sometimes
their
Charters
be
called
in
question
;
for
the
Church
hath
lost
al
her
priuiledges
,
Their
daintie
liuing
makes
them
the
more
tender
;
being
well
fed
,
and
warmely
clothed
,
yet
they
cannot
preuent
all
vnseasonable
weather
;
and
therefore
sometimes
they
are
ouertaken
,
res
transit
cum
suo
onere
.
When
all
their
whole
life
is
past
,
me
thinkes
it
is
like
one
of
their
shewes
,
wherein
Pageants
are
gazed
vpon
in
the
day
time
,
and
in
the
night
are
dissolued
;
the
day
following
some
little
remnant
is
hung
vp
in
their
Halles
,
and
the
rest
passeth
away
like
a
shadow
,
without
any
further
mention
or
memorie
.
Suppose
me
to
be
a
wandring
pilgrime
now
in
the
state
of
the
way
,
directing
my
course
vnto
happinesse
.
I
should
lose
my selfe
in
these
thickers
and
groues
,
and
should
proue
very
tedious
to
the
reader
,
When
I
looke
vp
to
the
Nobles
,
they
seeme
at
first
sight
,
to
bee
like
starres
in
the
firmament
,
all
clothed
with
happinesse
and
honour
;
but
when
I
come
neerer
,
Be
their
estate
neuer
so
great
,
their
reuenewes
neuer
so
large
,
yet
still
their
charge
and
expense
seemes
to
ballance
them
,
if
not
to
exceed
them
:
and
all
things
deducted
,
little
remaines
;
which
in
effect
is
as
much
,
as
if
I
had
little
substance
,
From
nobles
,
I
must
ascend
by
degrees
vnto
Princes
,
and
if
there
were
any
true
ioy
in
the
creature
,
I
do
suppose
it
would
be
found
in
their
persons
:
for
so
the
world
esteemes
them
happy
and
great
.
And
no
maruell
,
for
they
beare
the
person
of
vs
all
,
and
therefore
great
reason
,
that
as
we
receiue
from
them
our
plenty
,
our
peace
,
and
our
happinesse
;
so
we
should
againe
returne
and
restore
vnto
them
with
due
thankfulnes
,
First
for
their
persons
,
notwithstanding
their
continuall
intelligence
,
their
watchfulnes
and
care
for
the
security
of
their
owne
persons
and
states
:
quis
custodiet
ipsos
custodes
,
who
shall
guard
them
from
their
owne
guard
?
or
who
knowes
,
whether
their
seruants
receiue
any
pensions
from
their
enemies
?
As
they
sit
highest
,
and
in
the
greatest
view
and
appearance
,
so
they
serue
as
the
fairest
markes
to
be
aimed
at
.
And
therfore
in
regard
of
the
eminencie
of
their
estate
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
their
personage
,
amiddest
the
throng
and
multitudes
of
dangers
and
perils
,
many
things
may
be
allowed
and
tolerated
in
them
,
for
securing
themselues
,
which
to
a
man
of
a
priuat
condition
were
meere
iniustice
,
wrong
and
oppression
.
Suppose
the
imprisonment
or
punishment
of
any
one
of
his
subiects
,
by
way
of
preuention
or
caution
to
an
ensuing
mischiefe
:
this
is
tolerable
I
confesse
,
but
herein
I
feare
,
least
many
Princes
haue
exceeded
the
boundes
of
honesty
,
and
iustice
.
Yet
I
may
speake
it
to
Gods
glory
and
to
our
owne
comfort
,
the
dayes
heere
in
England
were
neuer
so
free
from
feare
and
suspition
,
as
they
are
at
this
present
,
vnder
the
happy
gouernment
of
our
most
gratious
King
Iames
:
who
herein
seemes
to
excell
all
other
princes
,
that
so
great
learning
and
such
a
deepe
vnderstanding
,
should
bee
accompanied
with
such
a
harmeles
and
innocent
disposition
.
And
this
serues
for
his
best
sheild
of
defence
,
against
all
forraine
inuasions
,
or
home-bred
conspiracies
:
God
make
vs
thankefull
for
these
blessings
,
and
long
preserue
his
raigne
ouer
vs
,
&c.
In
the
times
of
their
wars
,
the
common
practise
and
desire
of
Princes
is
,
to
ad
kingdomes
to
kingdomes
;
which
if
they
should
effect
,
If
their
happines
consists
in
their
gouernment
and
rule
,
for
in
all
other
things
their
seruants
do
share
with
them
,
in
their
diet
,
their
garments
,
their
gardens
,
their
pallaces
,
their
pleasures
:
yet
all
men
haue
not
the
like
practicall
disposition
to
delight
in
gouernment
;
No
maruell
,
if
Princes
be
very
tender
in
the
point
of
their
prerogatiue
;
which
indeed
is
so
necessary
,
and
so
essentiall
to
gouernment
,
as
that
without
it
,
gouernment
cannot
subsist
:
and
therefore
it
were
high
presumption
to
examine
this
prerogatiue
;
I
say
,
not
to
examine
the
prerogatiue
of
Princes
,
or
to
what
lawes
they
are
subiect
;
for
I
will
easily
yeeld
,
that
where
they
are
not
expresly
mentioned
,
and
doe
binde
themselues
by
their
owne
royall
assent
,
there
they
are
to
be
excluded
:
Thus
heere
I
haue
briefly
runne
thorough
all
the
happy
states
of
men
,
that
so
I
might
say
with
the
Apostle
,
omnia
factus
sum
omnibus
,
vt
aliquos
lucrarer
;
and
truly
I
do
finde
,
that
God
hath
inclosed
all
men
in
one
common
depth
of
misery
.
For
if
ioy
(
and
true
ioy
)
could
bee
competent
to
this
our
corrupted
nature
,
then
certainly
God
would
neuer
haue
expelled
man
paradise
:
for
heere
was
the
wisdome
of
God
,
From
the
seuerall
states
of
men
,
let
vs
come
to
the
seuerall
dispositions
of
man
in
himselfe
;
obserue
the
changes
and
reuolutions
of
our
mindes
,
We
are
no
sooner
hatched
,
but
presently
wee
must
haue
a
feather
in
the
cap
,
a
dagger
at
the
backe
;
then
in
stead
of
a
true
paradise
,
When
our
stock
after
a
few
yeeres
is
increased
,
then
we
desire
to
trade
with
the
merchant-pedler
;
his
packe
is
opened
,
we
come
to
the
mart
,
here
wee
buy
lases
and
glasses
,
But
I
cannot
content
my selfe
,
thus
to
runne
through
the
courses
of
our
liues
,
you
shall
then
obserue
,
the
strange
different
iudgements
in
one
and
the
same
man
,
according
to
the
periods
of
his
age
,
as
concerning
the
delights
of
his
age
:
for
as
we
grow
elder
and
elder
,
so
we
dislike
our
former
condition
,
Suppose
a
rich
man
of
this
world
,
were
now
vpon
the
point
of
death
,
how
often
should
this
man
bee
moued
to
make
his
last
Will
and
Testament
,
Thus
I
haue
laboured
,
to
shew
the
greatnesse
of
mans
miserie
in
the
truth
of
his
sorrow
,
while
all
his
supposed
ioyes
and
delights
,
Certainly
of
al
worldly
contentments
,
there
is
none
like
to
the
home-contentment
,
wherein
the
Master
disposeth
all
things
to
his
best
liking
;
But
suppose
,
that
the
Magistrate
should
inforce
me
to
keepe
mine
own
home
,
that
mine
own
house
should
proue
mine
owne
prison
;
Lord
how
I
should
be
perplexed
to
lose
mine
own
liberty
!
all
my
places
of
pleasure
should
giue
me
no
contentment
,
On
the
contrarie
side
,
leauing
the
thraldome
of
prisons
,
let
vs
come
to
the
sumptuous
and
magnificent
buildings
.
For
our
apparell
,
see
how
the
whole
world
runnes
wandring
,
and
gadding
,
in
the
strength
of
their
owne
imaginations
;
euery
moneth
brings
foorth
a
new
fashion
,
which
for
a
time
seemes
to
be
the
best
:
I
must
not
stay
long
vpon
fashions
,
As
it
is
in
our
clothing
,
so
it
is
in
our
food
;
for
fooles
must
haue
their
ladles
,
aswell
as
their
partie-coloured
coates
.
When
we
liue
in
the
Inland
countries
,
then
we
begin
to
long
for
sea-fish
;
For
our
goods
or
our
substance
;
what
great
varietie
appeares
in
our
choice
and
estimation
?
It
is
no
marueile
,
if
we
doe
so
much
differ
in
our
goods
,
our
substance
and
treasure
;
Thus
(
I
hope
)
it
hath
appeared
,
that
whatsoeuer
is
best
pleasing
to
man
,
it
is
therefore
best
pleasing
,
because
man
himselfe
conceiues
the
greatest
pleasure
therein
:
not
because
he
is
so
naturally
inclined
,
not
because
he
is
moued
with
the
truth
of
things
,
according
to
their
goodnesse
,
for
so
all
men
should
be
alike
affected
;
reason
is
the
same
in
all
,
and
euery
other
thing
doth
naturally
incline
to
the
best
;
onely
man
hauing
a
free
will
to
make
his
owne
choice
,
But
heere
is
all
the
difficultie
,
First
the
meditation
of
God
and
his
kingdome
,
Secondly
,
Thirdly
,
To
giue
thee
some
ease
and
recreation
,
in
this
my
longe
tedious
discourse
;
I
will
heere
tell
thee
a
tale
,
to
this
purpose
.
The
religious
man
replied
,
Here
one
began
to
enquire
of
this
religious
man
,
who
should
keepe
them
,
and
how
they
should
liue
in
the
meane
time
?
Now
recalling
my selfe
,
This
shall
appeare
by
the
counsell
of
God
himselfe
,
though
otherwise
he
allowes
,
and
approues
the
honest
callings
and
professions
of
men
;
To
conclude
,
the
truth
of
our
misery
shall
speak
and
discouer
it selfe
,
with
our
cries
,
Thus
truly
acknowledging
our
miseries
,
we
are
likewise
enforced
to
confesse
the
rewards
of
our
sinne
,
And
that
you
might
not
conceiue
,
that
this
is
my
priuate
opinion
;
I
will
therfore
(
in
one
word
)
take
a
view
,
what
the
Gentiles
,
the
Iewes
,
and
the
Christians
,
haue
thought
of
this
truth
;
and
what
effects
the
meditation
here
of
hath
wrought
vpon
them
.
You
shall
then
obserue
,
that
the
consideration
of
mans
present
state
&
condition
,
moued
the
ancient
Heathen
Philosophers
to
take
whole
nature
,
and
to
set
it
in
a
limbecke
,
so
to
distill
it
;
wherein
they
found
by
the
force
of
fire
,
the
vnresistable
power
of
reason
;
that
all
nature
did
either
euaporate
to
a
fume
,
or
a
smoake
,
which
indeed
is
the
vanity
of
the
creatures
;
or
else
did
settle
downe
,
as
the
grosse
and
earthly
part
in
the
bottome
;
and
this
is
the
misery
of
the
creatures
:
&
from
hence
proceeded
two
seuerall
sects
of
Philosophers
,
of
different
and
contrary
dispositions
;
the
one
laughing
at
the
vanity
,
But
when
the
naturall
light
of
reason
is
left
to
it selfe
,
it
is
but
a
kinde
of
darkenesse
;
for
nature
is
partiall
to
her selfe
,
and
out
of
her
owne
loue
,
to
her selfe
,
cannot
wholly
condemne
herselfe
.
I
will
therefore
come
to
the
Iewes
,
whose
eyes
were
better
enlightened
with
Gods
Law
,
though
they
had
but
shadowes
of
mysteries
,
and
only
types
and
figures
of
a
true
sacrifice
,
yet
were
they
sufficiently
instructed
how
to
condemne
nature
:
and
they
proceeded
further
then
the
Heathen
Philosophers
;
drawing
nature
to
a
greater
height
,
and
making
some
better
extraction
;
and
therefore
they
doe
not
content
themselues
with
vanities
;
but
they
acknowledge
that
there
is
a
vanity
of
vanities
,
I
viewed
mine
owne
workes
,
to
take
some
contentment
in
mine
owne
actions
,
yet
I
found
none
,
but
all
was
vanity
of
vanities
,
and
vexation
of
mind
.
I
am
a
Christian
man
,
and
therein
I
doe
humbly
,
hartily
,
and
daily
thanke
God
,
who
(
of
his
mercy
)
hath
called
me
to
this
state
of
saluation
.
And
heere
I
doe
constantly
affirme
,
Deo
gratias
.
THE
FALL
OF
MAN
.
THE
THIRD
PART
.
OVt
of
the
deepe
haue
I
cried
vnto
thee
O
Lord
,
Lord
heare
my
voyce
;
one
deepe
cals
vp
an
other
,
the
depth
of
my
sinne
,
If
there
were
no
other
argument
,
to
perswade
me
of
the
naturall
corruption
of
man
,
but
onely
the
implicite
and
secret
confession
of
man
himselfe
,
concerning
himselfe
,
together
with
the
daily
practice
of
his
actions
,
In
our
dealings
and
contracts
with
men
,
sometimes
we
blame
the
complections
and
lookes
of
others
,
solemnly
protesting
that
we
dislike
their
visage
,
and
will
admit
no
dealings
with
them
;
Now
in
our
actions
,
consider
the
enuie
and
malignitie
of
our
nature
;
how
apt
we
are
to
offend
each
other
,
and
being
once
prouoked
,
It
is
proper
to
the
corrupt
nature
of
man
,
to
turne
all
the
best
qualities
into
the
worst
part
,
The
best
actions
of
man
,
doe
they
not
argue
the
corruption
of
man
?
If
it
lies
not
in
our
power
to
returne
euill
for
euill
,
Whereas
a
feeling
of
one
and
the
same
greife
,
should
teach
vs
compassion
to
others
,
and
the
right
knowledge
of
our selues
:
it
fals
out
far
otherwise
,
our
ioyes
we
desire
to
be
whole
&
entire
to
our selues
,
solamen
miseris
socios
habuisse
doloris
:
the
sicke
man
when
hee
can
be
no
otherwise
eased
,
yet
if
an
other
shall
complaine
of
the
same
greife
,
heere
is
his
comfort
.
An
other
mans
griefe
doth
not
ease
the
griefe
of
his
body
,
but
thorough
the
euill
and
corruption
of
his
owne
minde
in
the
torments
of
others
,
he
fansies
to
himselfe
a
kind
of
ease
and
contentment
,
not
looking
to
the
distemper
of
his
owne
body
,
and
senses
,
which
,
as
they
come
nearest
,
so
they
should
more

concerne
him

Take
the
particular
actions
of
man
,
I
would
gladly
know
,
what
is
the
ground
of
al●
Machiau●lian
policy
,
but
onely
this
;
that
s●pp●sing
the
inward
corruption
of
mans
nature
,
But
policy
is
a
Secret
of
state
,
which
must
be
hidden
and
concealed
like
a
mystery
;
the
rules
must
not
bee
diuulged
,
least
they
giue
way
to
the
practise
;
the
actions
cannot
be
iustified
,
non
laudantur
nisi
peracta
,
they
will
not
dispute
of
them
,
but
being
once
performed
,
then
they
will
finde
out
some
probable
colour
to
excuse
the
offence
:
they
will
drop
downe
their
fauours
,
that
so
distilling
their
gifts
,
the
memory
of
their
former
cruelty
may
be
abolisht
,
vntil
they
finde
some
fit
oportunity
for
a
second
massacre
.
Let
vs
leaue
the
policies
of
men
,
the
extent
whereof
I
will
leaue
to
Gods
permission
and
prouidence
,
and
to
their
owne
consciences
.
Doe
not
the
lawes
of
men
,
made
by
the
whole
body
of
the
kingdome
,
wherein
euery
man
seemes
to
haue
his
voice
and
free
suffrage
,
do
they
not
suppose
mans
nature
,
to
bee
wholly
corrupted
?
wherefore
should
they
preuent
murther
,
treason
,
thef●
,
Sodomie
?
wherefore
serue
so
many
penall
lawes
,
I
forget
my selfe
,
I
forget
my selfe
,
for
,
speaking
of
mans
corruption
,
I
am
so
far
entangled
,
that
I
cannot
easily
release
my selfe
;
And
first
for
the
Serpent
,
which
was
the
first
cause
of
our
sinne
,
super
pectus
gradieris
,
terram
comedes
,
seemes
to
excuse
the
basenesse
of
the
serpent
,
in
respect
of
the
worlds
perfection
;
see
how
the
antipathi●
still
continues
betweene
both
,
vir
conterit
caput
,
serpe●s
insidiatur
calcaneo
,
the
one
strikes
at
the
head
,
and
the
other
bites
at
the
heele
;
and
thus
betweene
mortall
creatures
,
there
is
an
immortall
enmity
.
But
I
must
not
thus
run
ouer
the
punishments
;
I
will
therefore
desire
you
to
obserue
in
the
serpent
:
first
,
her
basenesse
in
her selfe
:
secondly
,
the
enmity
towards
man
,
super
pectus
gradieris
.
Then
the
Lord
God
said
to
the
serpent
,
because
thou
hast
done
this
,
thou
art
cursed
aboue
all
cattell
,
and
aboue
euery
beast
of
the
field
,
vpon
thy
belly
shalt
thou
goe
,
and
dust
shalt
thou
eat●
all
the
dayes
of
thy
life
,
&c.
Will
nature
giue
it
a
head
,
the
perfect
vse
of
all
senses
,
a
swift
and
able
motion
,
exquisite
variety
of
colours
;
and
will
nature
refuse
to
supply
the
meanest
and
basest
parts
,
feete
to
support
this
body
?
Especially
considering
that
in
three
extraordinary
priuiledges
,
aboue
all
other
beasts
of
the
field
,
she
may
best
glory
in
the
indulgency
of
nature
.
1.
A
great
subtilty
and
wisdome
for
her
owne
defense
,
against
all
charmes
and
inchantments
.
2.
The
most
dangerous
offe●siue
poysonous
weapon
.
3.
Euery
yeere
a
new
coate
,
while
other
creatures
with
their
wrinckled
skins
carry
their
scars
to
the
graue
,
and
neuer
haue
change
of
their
rayments
.
Hath
nature
repented
her selfe
,
and
doth
she
now
begin
to
repine
at
these
blessings
?
and
for
the
vpshot
,
leaues
it
vnfinisht
,
or
dismembers
and
cuts
of
the
feete
?
can
it
consist
of
foure
elements
,
and
yet
three
of
them
should
carry
no
proportion
,
but
all
the
whole
body
should
lie
on
the
earth
?
Or
if
the
brest
be
the
noblest
part
,
in
regard
of
the
residencie
of
the
heart
,
must
it
needes
sustaine
the
burthen
and
poyse
of
the
whole●body
?
and
can
no
other
part
be
assigned
for
that
office
?
It
is
a
maine
difference
betweene
the
sensitiue
,
and
the
vegetatiue
creatures
,
that
trees
haue
their
mouthes
or
their
stomach
fastened
in
the
earth
,
From
the
basenesse
of
her
person
,
let
vs
come
to
the
basenesse
of
her
food
:
is
it
possible
that
any
creature
of
such
wisdome
and
prudency
,
Here
I
would
desire
you
to
obserue
,
that
as
the
dumbe
creatures
,
are
only
(
in
the
nature
of
instruments
)
ordained
and
directed
for
the
vse
and
seruice
of
man
:
Least
man
should
thinke
,
that
the
condition
of
the
serpent
did
not
any
way
concerne
him
(
as
indeede
it
doth
,
I
will
also
put
enmitie
betweene
thee
and
the
woman
,
and
betweene
thy
seede
and
her
seede
,
he
shall
breake
thine
head
,
and
thou
shalt
bruse
his
heel
.
The
principall
enmitie
consists
betweene
man
and
the
diuell
,
who
is
therefore
fitly
said
to
bite
at
his
heele
;
as
chiefely
assaulting
man
in
the
last
clause
of
his
age
,
in
the
agonie
of
death
,
and
principally
intending
to
detaine
him
from
the
finall
vpshot
and
conclusion
of
his
happinesse
.
In
permitting
this
enmitie
,
did
appeare
the
fruite
of
Gods
iustice
,
as
setting
his
owne
enemies
at
enmitie
among
themselues
;
and
likewise
the
fruite
of
Gods
mercy
,
that
man
being
thus
molested
and
maligned
by
Sathan
,
and
the
rather
for
Gods
cause
,
man
bearing
the
image
of
God
,
and
Sathan
Gods
pro●est
enimie
,
being
not
able
to
obscure
or
eclipse
Gods
glorie
,
seekes
to
vndermine
and
supplant
Gods
image
.
Hereby
it
falls
out
,
that
man
is
now
become
an
associate
,
of
the
same
league
and
amitie
with
God
,
and
therefore
God
is
now
tied
for
mans
protection
,
and
may
at
length
without
any
breach
of
law
or
iustice
,
fight
in
mans
quarrell
,
against
the
powers
of
darkenesse
,
the
gates
of
hell
,
the
kingdome
of
sinne
,
Sathan
,
and
damnation
.
As
was
the
conspiracie
betweene
man
and
the
serpent
for
the
breach
of
Gods
law
,
It
is
not
sufficient
,
that
man
should
be
subiect
to
the
danger
of
creatures
in
generall
,
for
his
life
,
his
limmes
,
and
his
substance
;
but
some
there
are
which
seeme
to
mocke
and
to
scoffe
man
,
the
Parat
for
his
speech
,
the
Ape
for
his
actions
,
and
others
for
his
gesture
.
Some
though
they
are
impotent
and
cannot
hurt
,
yet
seeme
to
threaten
man
;
for
there
are
certaine
ominous
creatures
in
their
owne
kinde
,
which
without
any
spice
of
superstition
or
vaine
feare
,
But
I
will
onely
insist
in
the
Serpent
;
for
the
enmitie
seemes
greatest
betweene
the
most
noble
and
basest
creatures
,
Man
and
the
Serpent
,
Wilt
thou
set
vpon
this
Serpent
,
and
by
opposing
her
,
seeke
to
defend
thy selfe
?
thou
shalt
finde
it
a
very
dangerous
and
difficult
combate
;
for
see
the
guile
and
subti●tie
of
thine
aduersarie
,
thinkest
thou
to
insnare
and
intrap
her
with
thy
charmes
and
inchantments
,
as
birds
and
wilde
beasts
are
taken
with
seuerall
notes
and
cries
?
venenum
exp●it
vt
bibat
,
in
the
taking
of
her
food
and
her
sustenance
,
she
first
disgorgeth
her
owne
poyson
,
and
then
againe
resumes
it
,
as
being
prouided
against
man
.
Wilt
thou
draw
out
thy
sword
and
hew
her
in
peeces
?
see
how
she
will
stand
in
her
owne
defence
,
totum
corpus
in
orbem
circumuol●it
,
vt
caput
occultet
,
her
whole
body
must
serue
as
a
buckler
to
protect
her
head
,
wherein
life
doth
principally
reside
;
suppose
she
were
cut
and
dismembred
,
yet
is
she
no
way
dis-inabled
or
impotent
,
she
may
well
leese
part
of
her
length
and
yet
be
no
creeple
.
If
thou
puttest
her
to
flight
,
habet
viam
tort●osam
,
she
will
make
such
indentures
in
her
passage
,
that
thou
knowest
not
which
way
to
follow
;
and
wheresoeuer
she
goes
,
if
she
can
make
the
least
entrance
with
her
head
,
she
will
winde
in
her
whole
body
,
the
earth
is
her
castle
,
the
hedges
her
buiwarkes
;
take
heed
of
thy selfe
in
the
chase
,
danger
doth
euery
way
appeare
,
and
yet
no
hope
of
a
booty
;
if
thou
h●st
the
conquest
,
sometimes
the
sprinkling
of
her
blood
will
infect
thee
,
but
thou
shalt
neuer
receiue
any
the
least
price
of
thy
labour
.
If
time
&
leisure
would
s●rue
me
,
I
could
proportion
these
seuerall
properties
of
the
serpent
,
to
the
qualities
of
sinne
and
the
deuill
,
which
first
made
choice
of
the
serpent
to
be
his
agent
and
instrument
against
man
;
but
I
will
leaue
this
to
euery
mans
priuate
meditation
:
as
likewise
on
the
contrary
,
Thus
you
see
the
great
encounter
betweene
man
and
the
creatures
,
the
strange
antipathie
and
discord
betweene
both
.
Now
let
vs
examine
how
the
earth
and
the
elements
stand
affected
to
man
in
this
great
dissention
,
and
to
what
party
they
incline
:
not
to
speake
of
the
burning
and
consuming
fire
,
the
boysterous
and
vnresistable
winde
or
ayre
,
the
roaring
&
ouer-whelming
seas
,
or
the
earth
,
which
seemes
to
be
the
foundation
of
the
rest
,
to
support
this
reeling
world
,
yet
sometimes
is
strangely
moued
&
tossed
,
whole
cities
are
swallowed
,
great
foundations
shaken
,
nothing
vntouched
;
the
fruites
,
the
hearbes
,
and
the
flowers
are
tainted
,
as
if
hell
(
which
consists
in
the
bosome
of
the
earth
)
sent
forth
a
flash
of
brimstone
to
infect
this
world
;
I
will
passe
ouer
all
these
great
generall
iudgements
,
but
(
me
thinkes
)
in
my
passage
I
am
detaind
,
incompassed
,
and
apprehended
by
thornes
,
that
I
cannot
winde
my selfe
out
of
the
snare
,
Gen.

Cursed
is
the
earth
for
thy
sa●e
,
in
sorrow
shalt
thou
eate
of
it
all
the
dayes
of
thy
life
,
thornes
also
and
thistles
shall
it
bring
forth
to
thee
,
&c.
Why
should
the
earth
bring
forth
br●ars
and
b●ambles
,
vnprofitable
thistles
,
The
earth
was
first
created
of
nothing
▪
and
as
the
earth
was
nothing
in
her
production
,
so
if
God
had
left
the
earth
to
it selfe
it
should
haue
produced
nothing
;
Is
it
not
sufficient
to
produce
them
in
such
a
plentifull
manner
,
but
for
their
saftie
and
protection
,
to
indue
them
with
prickes
and
thornes
?
insomuch
that
their
very
names
are
deriued
from
their
offensiue
weapons
,
Shall
I
tell
you
the
reason
?
As
the
minde
of
man
is
ouergrowne
with
bryers
and
brambles
,
prickt
with
her
thoughts
,
The
Philosophers
,
who
were
the
best
spokes-men
in
natures
defense
,
doe
assigne
this
reason
,
that
necessary
it
was
,
But
cannot
the
application
of
any
contrary
qualitie
mitigate
the
vehemency
of
this
poyson
?
is
it
possible
,
that
it
should
f●nd●●ot
such
a
lurking
place
,
〈…〉
.
lie
stars
of
the
same
influence
and
qualitie
should
finde
out
the
nea●●
,
conc●●iscentiam
carnis
,
conc●piscentiam
oculorum
,
&
superbiam
vitae
.
And
thus
nature
proues
euery
way
to
be
a
fruitfull
mother
of
poyson
,
and
in
token
heereof
,
euen
in
the
bodies
of
some
men
,
of
some
complections
,
she
hath
layed
vp
poyson
for
her
treasure
;
for
certainly
there
is
a
naturall
witch-craft
,
arising
from
the
very
constitution
,
in
so
much
that
the
touch
,
the
breath
,
the
fight
of
diuers
is
infectiou●
.
〈◊〉

That
there
is
no
necessity
of
poysons
,
consider
,
that
there
are
great
kingdomes
in
the
world
,
which
are
exempted
and
priuiledged
from
any
poysonous
hearbe
or
beast
,
mundum
tradidit
disputationi
eorum
.
My
opinion
is
,
that
as
poysons
do
argue
the
corruption
of
nature
in
generall
:
so
nature
in
particular
,
is
sometimes
priuiledged
by
an
especiall
warrant
and
protection
vnder
Gods
owne
signet
,
(
though
otherwise
I
doubt
not
,
but
it
is
by
naturall
meanes
,
for
God
doth
not
exclude
nature
,
but
rather
include
her
,
as
being
his
owne
appointed
ordinance
,
the
course
,
rule
and
lawe
of
the
creatures
)
.
And
thus
God
permitteth
nature
both
to
shew
her
integritie
,
and
to
boast
of
her
perfection
,
that
although
she
be
corrupted
,
yet
is
it
onely
some
accidentall
corruption
;
and
being
thus
corrupted
,
she
seemes
to
make
some
recompence
with
the
pleasant
change
of
variety
.
That
the
punishment
of
nature
may
further
appeare
;
I
would
gladly
aske
,
that
if
there
be
poyson
so
horrid
,
as
that
in
an
instant
it
can
sodainly
kill
:
Posuit
sibi
iniquitas
gradus
,
as
if
they
were
part
of
our
nourishment
,
part
of
our
bodies
,
or
had
entred
a
league
of
amitie
and
friendship
with
vs
,
they
shall
worke
at
leysure
,
and
by
degrees
vndermine
the
foundation
of
life
;
so
that
poysons
now
taken
,
after
many
moneths
or
many
yeeres
shall
appeare
in
effect
and
operation
.
Because
this
may
seeme
strange
to
diuers
,
therefore
I
will
lay
open
the
reason
;
certaine
it
is
,
that
there
are
medicines
appropriated
onely
for
certaine
parts
,
Of
whom
shall
we
expect
for
redresse
,
but
of
thee
(
O
Lord
)
?
thou
that
wert
crowned
with
a
garland
of
thornes
,
and
fedde
with
vineger
and
gaule
vpon
the
holy
altar
of
thy
crosse
;
thou
that
diddest
take
vpon
thee
the
person
of
whole
mankinde
,
take
away
this
cup
of
our
poyson
,
feede
vs
with
thine
owne
flesh
,
refresh
vs
with
thine
owne
blood
,
and
being
made
liuely
members
of
thy
mysticall
bodie
,
let
this
cup
passe
from
vs
,
this
cuppe
of
bitternesse
and
sorrow
;
take
away
the
poyson
of
our
nature
,
the
poyson
of
sinne
,
and
sow
in
our
hearts
the
seede
of
eternitie
,
that
so
we
may
rise
againe
with
bodies
immortall
,
incorruptible
freed
as
from
the
poyson
of
sinne
,
so
from
the
poyson
of
the
creatures
,
the
one
being
the
vndoubted
token
and
punishment
of
the
other
.
Now
let
vs
come
to
man
,
and
consider
man
in
himselfe
,
Because
I
was
naked
,
therefore
I
hid
my selfe
;
and
God
said
,
who
tolde
thee
that
thou
wast
naked
?
&c.
For
in
the
time
of
his
innocencie
,
though
hee
should
haue
been
naked
without
clothing
,
yet
shame
should
not
haue
accompanied
his
nakednesse
;
as
hee
should
haue
bin
without
vesture
or
garment
,
so
there
should
haue
bin
no
vse
either
of
vesture
or
garment
.
He
should
not
haue
been
subiect
to
the
annoyance
of
the
creatures
,
for
his
innocencie
should
haue
protected
him
;
there
his
nakednesse
should
haue
bin
his
beauty
and
perfection
;
as
the
child
in
the
wombe
,
though
naked
,
yet
neither
feeles
the
scorching
heate
,
or
the
nipping
frost
;
but
liues
in
a
temperat
zoane
:
but
the
state
and
condition
of
those
times
being
now
altered
and
changed
,
why
should
not
nature
make
her
prouision
accordingly
?
Why
should
she
not
worke
her
owne
proper
effects
,
and
be
as
beneficiall
to
man
,
as
to
all
other
creatures
in
generall
?
For
it
is
naturall
to
all
creatures
,
that
receiuing
fit
nourishment
,
part
of
it
should
bee
turned
to
the
flesh
,
and
part
to
the
fleece
;
Or
why
should
nature
be
partiall
in
man
,
to
adorne
the
head
,
the
browes
,
and
the
chin
,
with
a
couering
of
soft
haire
,
You
will
say
,
that
nature
hath
left
him
destitute
of
garments
,
as
hauing
prouided
for
him
,
a
large
and
sufficient
wardrop
,
According
to
the
diuersitie
of
mans
parts
,
giue
me
leaue
to
make
a
double
nakednesse
of
man
,
inward
and
outward
;
Behold
,
O
Lord
God
of
hoasts
,
fighting
thy
battailes
,
wee
doe
expect
thy
wages
and
pay
,
for
no
man
wageth
warre
at
his
owne
charge
:
giue
vs
the
brestplate
of
Faith
,
the
sword
of
thy
Spirit
,
the
helmet
of
Saluation
;
that
as
this
warre
is
a
spirituall
warre
,
against
the
powers
of
sinne
,
hell
and
damnation
;
so
graunt
,
that
the
carnall
man
being
naked
and
destitute
of
himselfe
,
may
receiue
fit
weapons
from
thy
armorie
to
fight
in
thy
battailes
.
For
the
outward
nakednesse
of
his
bodie
,
it
should
seeme
that
man
is
dismissed
of
Gods
seruice
,
hauing
now
lost
his
liuerie
,
his
badge
,
and
his
cognizance
;
or
naked
he
is
,
Will
you
yet
heare
some
further
corruption
,
which
appeares
in
our
nakednesse
?
in
stead
of
confessing
our
crimes
,
Nature
hath
appointed
two
seuerall
features
,
differing
in
quantitie
,
lineaments
,
beauty
,
and
proportion
to
the
two
seuerall
sexes
;
From
his
person
let
vs
come
to
his
office
?
which
as
it
should
seeme
is
very
fit
and
agreeable
to
his
nature
:
should
bring
forth
e●ery
hear
be
that
seedeth
seed
according
to
her
kinds
,
Gen.

but
now
thorough
the
course
it
seemes
to
be
ouergrowne
with
thornes
and
with
thistles
.
Gen.

18.
therefore
Gods
sentence
is
likewise
past
vpon
man
,
i●
sudore

,
In
the
sweat
of
thy

thou
shalt
eat
thy

,

Heere
it
should
seeme
,
that
all
trades
and
honest
courses
of
life
are
erected
,
for
euery
man
is
a
labourer
,
and
should
intend
some
course
of
life
:
if
his
hand
be
not
fitted
to
the
plowe
,
yet
he
must
ouerlooke
his
owne
seruants
,
command
them
their
taske
,
and
manage
his
owne
priuat
estate
.
Heere
is
his
carefulnesse
,
heere
is
his
husbandry
and
tillage
:
and
assuredly
the
seru●nt
liues
sometimes
more
at
harts-ease
then
the
master
,
who
s●emes
to
bee
imployed
in
euery
mans
labour
,
and
to
yeeld
strength
and
vertue
to
their
hands
and
actions
.
Thus
to
be
man
,
it
is
to
enter
a
seruice
,
and
to
binde
himselfe
prentise
to
all
drudgery
;
while
other
creatures
liue
at
harts
ease
,
they
neither
sowe
not
mowe
,
but
keep
a
continual
holy-day
;
they
sit
downe
to
eate
and
to
drinke
,
and
rise
vp
to
play
:
only
man
must
take
care
and
thought
both
for
them
and
himselfe
;
and
therin
must
giue
an
account
of
his
steward-ship
.
Not
only
the
body
must
be
clothed
and
fed
,
but
the
minde
must
likewise
bee
taught
and
instructed
:
and
heere
we
seeme
to
run
through
an
infinit
course
of
our
studies
.
in
sud●re
vultus
:
nature
her selfe
seemes
to
teach
vs
this
principle
,
and
to
infuse
it
in
the
heart
of
man
,
for
in
our
idlenesse
we
are
alwaies
most
imployed
,
but
it
is
in
ill
doing
,
Nihil
agendo
malè
agere
discimus
:
〈◊〉
seemes
to
rouse
and
inforce
vs
to
action
,
in
so
much
that
all
our
sports
and
pastimes
are
in
veritie
and
truth
,
labours
,
howsoeuer
we
may
repute
them
for
recreations
&
sports
.
And
therefore
our
natural
rest
or
sleepe
,
we
must
esteeme
it
a
death
,
we
are
laide
in
our
winding
sheetes
,
our
senses
fayle
vs
,
somno
sepulti
,
wee
are
couered
with
darkenesse
,
here
is
our
death
;
and
after
death
,
beholde
our
resurrection
,
wee
were
sowne
in
weakenesse
,
wee
shall
rise
againe
in
power
,
the
decayed
spirits
renewed
,
our
bodies
strengthened
,
and
then
wee
returne
to
our
seuerall
callings
and
professions
:
and
thus
our
rest
tends
to
our
labours
,
nature
is
defined
to
bee
the
mother
of
motion
,
motion
is
the
companion
of
life
,
and
an
inseparable
accident
to
the
creatures
in
generall
.
But
I
will
tie
my selfe
more
strictly
to
speake
of
the
curse
;
see
then
the
correspondencie
of
Gods
iudgements
to
the
creatures
in
generall
,
but
especially
to
man
in
particular
,
for
the
whole
curse
must
fall
vpon
man
;
and
therefore
God
hath
appoynted
,
that
the
earth
should
bring
forth
briers
&
brambles
,
that
so
man
might
be
tied
to
vse
his
own
labour
for
his
sustenance
and
foode
;
see
here
the
same
wisdome
and
prouidence
of
God
appeares
in
both
:
But
I
pray'
let
vs
examine
,
why
should
not
the
earth
bee
as
beneficiall
to
man
,
That
a
perfect
drugerie
might
appeare
in
man
,
suppose
that
a
poore
mans
childe
were
now
borne
into
the
world
;
at
first
,
either
with
his
fathers
labour
,
or
at
the
parish
charge
,
together
with
the
charitie
of
well
disposed
people
,
(
O
all
yee
rich
men
of
the
world
,
if
euer
pittie
and
compassion
could
mooue
your
hearts
,
looke
vpon
these
sillie
poore
innocent
babes
;
who
neuer
offended
either
God
or
man
,
but
onely
in
the
sinne
of
their
conception
:
heere
your
charitie
bestowed
,
shall
bee
without
exception
,
for
they
cannot
counterfeite
;
they
are
young
beginners
,
giue
them
a
stocke
,
and
like
seede
sowne
vpon
good
ground
,
it
shall
againe
returne
vnto
you
with
full
measure
and
thankefulnesse
)
when
at
length
hee
comes
to
the
age
of
ten
yeeres
,
then
hee
beginnes
his
taske
,
hee
must
worke
to
purchase
his
owne
foode
,
to
buy
his
rayments
,
to
get
his
strength
,
his
growth
,
and
his
nourishment
;
for
nature
onely
supplies
life
,
she
laies
onely
the
foundation
,
and
this
life
must
bee
continued
and
prolonged
by
such
meanes
,
which
he
himselfe
hath
bought
with
his
own
labours
:
now
no
man
can
worke
without
tooles
,
(
the
plough
,
the
mattocke
,
the
spade
)
,
and
these
tooles
must
first
bee
prouided
with
his
owne
labours
;
hauing
both
strength
and
tooles
,
there
must
be
a
skill
and
cunning
to
worke
,
and
this
skill
is
gotten
by
experience
,
learning
,
and
his
owne
labours
;
now
he
is
sufficiently
prepared
of
himselfe
,
but
where
will
hee
worke
?
either
hee
must
first
purchase
his
timber
,
his
stuffe
or
his
ground
,
or
else
he
must
drudge
for
another
,
to
worke
in
his
vineyeard
,
as
if
he
were
to
create
a
new
world
for
himselfe
,
before
he
could
take
the
possession
of
this
world
.
Let
vs
(
with
compassion
)
descend
to
the
lowest
degree
and
state
of
men
;
that
a
man
might
be
a
drudge
,
not
onely
to
other
men
of
the
same
kinde
,
in
the
nature
of
a
seruant
;
that
he
might
haue
worke
to
imploy
himselfe
,
that
with
his
owne
honest
labours
hee
might
get
his
owne
liuing
;
But
suppose
him
to
be
thus
set
on
worke
,
yet
he
cannot
secure
himselfe
of
his
owne
health
,
hui
quàm
miserum
est
nasci
!
If
I
were
in
such
case
as
I
conceaue
the
yong
child
,
and
could
foresee
the
whole
course
of
mine
owne
miseries
,
it
should
be
a
principall
point
in
my
prayers
,
that
God
hauing
once
shewne
me
this
world
,
hee
would
in
his
mercy
lead
me
from
the
wombe
to
the
graue
,
and
take
me
to
his
owne
protection
,
before
my
life
were
tainted
with
sorrow
,
or
my
vnderstanding
corrupted
with
the
wickednesse
of
this
world
.
Leauing
the
persons
of
men
,
I
will
consider
their
labours
,
and
setting
aside
all
other
trades
and
professions
,
I
will
only
choose
the
most
ordinary
calling
of
men
,
I
know
not
,
how
far
I
may
presume
vpon
mans
patience
,
but
truely
I
am
very
fearefull
in
speaking
of
those
things
,
As
I
haue
noted
out
the
curse
,
so
giue
me
leaue
for
our
instruction
to
point
at
our
abuse
;
the
punishment
was
the
labour
of
man
,
bis
orat
qui
bene
laborat
,
the
workes
haue
the
forme
of
a
prayer
,
as
implicitly
desiring
God
to
concurre
with
his
own
me●nes
;
they
are
likewise
in
the
nature
of
sacrifices
,
as
being
actions
well
pleasing
and
commanded
by
God
himselfe
:
thinke
them
not
base
,
do
not
neglect
them
with
any
foolish
●ansie
&
conceit
of
thine
own
puritie
,
for
God
hath
appointed
them
,
and
be
shall
one
day
take
the
accounts
of
thy
labour
in
this
kinde
.
But
the
generall
practise
of
this
world
,
is
to
giue
ouer
all
painefull
,
manuall
,
and
laborious
professions
,
and
to
desire
to
liue
by
their
wits
;
as
if
the
state
of
man
were
wholy
angelicall
,
To
leaue
the
professions
of
men
,
I
will
only
t●xe
one
of
their
actions
;
a
practise
which
is
now
growne
common
and
vsuall
,
and
hath
bin
ha●ched
in
these
dayes
altogether
vnknowne
,
or
els
vtterly
detested
and
abhorred
,
Many
and
great
are
the
iudgements
of
God
,
which
from
time
to
time
haue
followed
the
first
authors
and
first
beginners
of
inclosures
;
but
you
shall
giue
me
leaue
to
prophesie
a
iudgement
.
Giue
vs
grace
O
Lord
,
strengthen
and
inable
vs
,
that
we
may
labour
according
to
thine
●rdina●ce
,
and
i●
thy
mercy
(
O
Lord
)
giue
a
blessing
to
our
labo●rs
,
that
we
may
r●ceiue
from
thee
the
▪
fruites
of
our
labour
,
and
〈◊〉
vs
(
O
Lord
)
from
that
he●●y
punishment
of
●●nger
and
f●mine
.
Because
the
earth
brought
forth
of
herselfe
〈◊〉
and
bra●bles
,
therefore
was
man
tied
to
his
h●●bandry
and
labo●●●
heere
is
the
course
of
his
life
and
profession
,
now
let
vs
come
to
his
honor
and
dignitie
,
Sub
virip●test
●teeris
,
&
vir
〈◊〉
tui
;
Thou
shalt
be
vnder
the
power
of
thy
husband
,
and
he
shall
beare
rule
ouer
thee
:
It
stood
with
the
iustice
of
God
,
that
the
woman
first
entising
and
abusing
her
husband
,
should
now
incurre
a
〈◊〉
,
and
be
made
a
capti●e
to
the
will
of
her
great
Lord
and
master
,
(
her
husband
)
.
I
know
not
whether
I
should
cal
this
i●st
decree
of
God
,
either
a
curse
or
a
blessing
;
sure
I
am
,
that
God
did
neuer
so
we
any
feedes
of
di●●e●tion
betweene
those
,
whom
hee
himselfe
hath
co●pled
together
,
and
made
one
flesh
:
rather
I
conceiue
,
that
God
supposing
mans
corruption
,
doth
heere
prescribe
a
remedie
and
meanes
to
reconcile
this
married
couple
;
appointing
a
dictator
for
the
time
being
,
making
choice
of
him
,
that
should
beare
an
absolute
rule
;
but
alas
what
needes
a
gouernment
and
rule
,
if
their
hearts
were
vnited
and
made
one
,
as
their
flesh
is
coupled
and
made
one
?
giue
me
therefore
leaue
to
reckon
this
,
as
a
speciall
punishment
of
mans
fall
,
(
the
〈◊〉
and
dissen●ing
in
marriage
)
.
To
shewe
the
large
e●tent
of
this
punishment
,
heere
I
conceaue
,
that
all
those
things
,
which
by
natures
first
erection
and
institution
were
linckt
and
coupled
together
,
&
●rat
pom●m
visu
〈◊〉
▪
&
gustu
delectabile
,
therefore
is
the
flesh
tightly
and
lawfully
subiected
to
the
spirit
;
though
heerein
especially
,
as
in
all
other
gouernments
,
you
shall
not
faile
to
finde
opposition
;
and
in
the
flesh
it selfe
,
the
●ame
flesh
,
only
cut
in
two
parts
,
wil
disagree
with
it selfe
,
&
therfore
there
must
be
some
gouernment
appointed
,
for
the
wife
must
submit
her selfe
to
her
husband
.
How
would
ye
expect
,
●hat
bre●hren
like
branches
of
one
tree
,
should
be
bound
vp
together
,
when
man
and
wife
are
separated
,
par●us
error
i●
initio
,
●rit
maximus
in
fine
,
he
that
shall
goe
a-stray
in
the
beginning
,
shall
greatly
wander
,
and
with
much
difficulty
arriue
to
the
end
of
his
iourney
.
From
this
enmity
between
man
and
man
,
when
as
all
things
were
distracted
,
when
wisdome
was
separated
from
power
,
and
strength
was
seuered
from
charity
,
considering
that
disorder
is
more
perillous
then
bondage
,
and
confusion
more
detested
then
slauery
:
that
order
might
keepe
all
things
within
their
owne
bounds
,
there
did
appeare
a
necessity
of
gouernment
,
and
gouernment
inforceth
a
subiection
and
thraldome
;
thus
the
punishment
is
not
onely
to
be
tyed
to
the
sex
,
(
for
it
is
a
rule
in
law
,
partus
sequitur
ventrem
,
if
our
mothers
be
in
bondage
,
we
appearing
in
their
wombes
,
must
likewise
acknowledge
our
iust
imprisonment
)
.
But
it
doth
generally
comprehend
whole
mankind
,
that
in
regard
homo
homini
lupus
,
one
man
is
a
wolfe
to
another
,
the
strongest
oppressing
the
weakest
,
Heere
appeares
the
necessity
,
together
with
the
first
originall
of
gouernment
,
when
as
betweene
man
and
wife
there
must
be
a
superiour
,
a
magistrate
,
a
gouernour
;
heere
appeares
the
excellency
,
the
sacred
and
inuiolable
maiesty
of
gouernment
,
and
that
especially
of
a
Monarchy
:
notwithstanding
that
Princes
bee
of
the
same
kinde
,
But
to
returne
to
the
punishment
it selfe
,
which
primarily
and
especially
appeareth
in
marriage
;
is
it
not
sufficient
that
all
the
creatures
should
conspire
against
man
,
Of
all
other
passions
,
loue
as
it
is
the
first
and
most
naturall
,
so
is
it
the
strongest
and
most
violent
;
me
thinkes
all
little
and
slight
offences
,
Do
any
other
creatures
of
the
same
kinde
,
differing
only
in
sex
,
Hard
harted
man
,
cannot
all
the
prouocations
of
nature
▪
and
the
necessary
duties
of
marriage
soften
thy
stony
heart
?
Hitherto
I
haue
counseld
the
husband
,
now
giue
me
leaue
to
informe
the
wife
in
her
duty
,
for
both
may
bee
faultie
;
hath
God
made
her
the
weaker
vessel
?
then
she
wants
the
protection
of
her
husband
;
There
is
nothing
which
breedes
that
distast
in
marriage
,
(
setting
only
iealousie
aside
)
as
when
either
of
them
do
in●ermedle
with
the
proper
duties
belonging
to
each
other
,
For
iealousie
,
which
so
much
disquiets
and
sets
such
a
difference
betweene
the
married
couple
,
I
haue
full
often
obserued
,
but
O
blessed
Lord
God
,
who
art
the
ioy
and
loue
of
our
hearts
,
leaue
vs
not
to
our selues
;
for
heere
we
offer
vp
our selues
vnto
thee
,
take
vs
away
from
our selues
into
thy
most
holy
protection
;
let
thy
loue
bee
with
our
whole
heart
,
and
without
measure
,
as
thou
thy selfe
art
good
without
measure
;
and
let
the
loue
of
the
creature
,
be
guided
by
rule
and
proportion
still
to
thy
loue
,
&c.
If
this
iealousie
be
conceiued
vpon
iust
grounds
,
yet
stil
I
cannot
excuse
the
husband
,
for
certain
it
is
(
wherof
we
haue
examples
in
Scripture
)
,
Thus
assuredly
the
greatest
cause
of
complaint
is
in
the
husband
,
who
hath
the
gouernment
of
his
wife
,
who
might
in
wisdome
preuent
his
owne
shame
,
and
should
teach
her
a
modest
and
chaste
carriage
;
but
I
know
not
what
ill
spirit
hath
set
them
at
enmity
,
But
of
all
the
plagues
that
euer
be●ell
man
,
I
will
now
come
to
the
greatest
,
a
punishment
not
inflicted
on
the
creatures
,
habitabit
in
Nod
,
Gen.

feare●ullnesse
shall
be
his
habitation
,
and
he
shall
least
appeare
in
sight
:
here
I
might
speake
whatsoeuer
hath
been
spoken
concerning
the
miserable
and
sinfull
condition
of
man
,
for
this
is
the
abridgement
and
epitomie
of
all
;
to
forsake
God
,
is
to
leaue
the
fountaine
of
all
good
,
and
to
make
himselfe
subiect
to
all
miseries
and
woe
.
And
therefore
the
righteous
Dauid
cries
vnto
God
forsake
me
not
in
thine
anger
,
for
whereas
the
absence
or
separation
of
friends
,
might
be
a
meanes
to
asswage
their
hate
,
and
to
reconcile
their
enmitie
:
onely
in
God
,
the
greatest
fruite
of
his
anger
is
to
leaue
and
forsake
man
,
and
thereby
man
is
wholly
destitute
of
all
possible
meanes
,
to
re-obtaine
his
fauour
.
Here
now
at
length
I
see
the
reason
why
,
all
other
creatures
receiued
their
approbation
from
God
in
the
beginning
,
immediatly
vpon
their
creation
,
Et
vidit
Deus
&
erant
omnia
vald●
bona
,
and
God
saw
all
things
that
were
,
and
they
were
very
good
in
their
owne
kinde
;
and
God
blessed
them
,
&c.
onely
man
is
excluded
,
Adam
:
Adam
being
the
root
of
mankind
,
did
therfore
represent
the
nature
,
Cain
being
a
branch
of
mankind
,
did
limit
the
curse
to
a
certaine
condition
of
men
,
to
the
state
of
the
reprobates
.
So
that
a
curse
is
in●ident
to
the
nature
,
though
not
to
the
whole
nature
of
man
,
which
shall
appeare
by
this
one
instance
;
Balaam
was
not
able
to
curse
the
children
of
Israel
,
seeing
that
hee
was
then
in
their
loynes
,
who
was
indeed
the
fountaine
of
blessing
,
this
blessing
we
must
not
only
tie
to
the
generation
of
Christ
according
to
the
flesh
,
but
still
wee
may
claime
the
inlarging
of
Gods
mercy
,
according
to
the
promise
made
vnto
Abraham
,
in
semine
tuo
benedicentur
omnes
generationes
:
so
that
generally
God
hath
proposed
vnto
man
a
blessing
,
a
curse
,
life
or
death
,
the
one
as
the
fruit
of
mans
sinne
,
the
other
as
the
effect
of
Gods
mercy
;
the
one
he
incurr's
by
his
own
transg●essions
,
the
other
hee
attaines
by
his
bloud
and
passion
,
who
was
the
attonement
and
propitiation
for
our
sins
.
Cain
bearing
the
person
of
all
reprobates
,
and
being
accursed
for
the
bloud
of
the
innocent
Abel
,
you
might
heere
expect
,
ite
,
praedicate
,
baptizate
,
omnes
singulos
,
vniuersos
:
As
the
price
of
our
redemption
is
infinit
,
able
to
satisfie
for
the
infinit
sins
,
of
infinit
worlds
:
so
vndoutedly
the
same
God
according
to
the
truth
of
his
owne
nature
,
will
not
be
wanting
in
the
inward
meanes
.
He
will
not
feede
vs
with
shewes
,
and
appearance
of
things
that
are
not
,
but
with
his
preuenting
,
assisting
,
and
subs●quent
graces
,
hee
will
inable
our
weaknesse
in
such
things
,
as
do
necessarily
concerne
our
saluation
;
raising
nature
to
such
an
height
,
that
she
may
be
able
to
transcend
her
owne
naturall
power
;
yet
God
shall
so
moue
vs
,
as
may
bee
most
agreeable
to
our
condition
.
The
kingdome
of
grace
doth
not
ouerthrow
our
naturall
rights
,
and
therfore
God
shal
still
leaue
vnto
vs
,
whol●
,
sound
,
and
entire
,
without
violence
or
coaction
,
the
free
choice
,
and
election
of
our
owne
wils
:
so
that
if
in
his
eternall
praesci●nce
he
shall
fore-see
,
that
man
shall
refuse
to
be
the
vessell
and
instrument
of
grace
,
to
concurre
with
him
in
the
action
;
but
shall
prefer
the
creature
before
the
creator
,
and
so
shall
continue
wilfull
and
disobedient
in
the
whole
course
of
his
life
,
with
a
finall
impenitency
;
heere
is
the
sole
cause
and
first
motiue
of
Gods
eternall
reprobation
,
which
consists
of
the
foresight
of
our
sinnes
,
and
of
the
due
intended
punishment
of
Gods
iustice
.
The
second
curse
which
I
will
obserue
in
Cain
,
is
the
guiltinesse
of
crying
sins
;
for
he
slew
his
brother
Abell
,
whose
bloud
cryed
vp
to
heauen
for
vengeance
;
This
curse
of
man
is
so
generall
,
that
whatsoeuer
is
or
can
bee
spoken
for
the
misery
,
and
punishment
of
man
,
may
well
be
included
within
the
compasse
of
this
curse
,
pe●ty
Princes
may
well
boast
in
the
number
and
multiplicity
of
their
dignities
and
stiles
,
whereas
the
great
Roman
Emperour
could
content
himselfe
with
the
bare
title
of
Caesar
Augustus
.
For
reason
,
God
hath
giuen
it
man
for
these
two
vses
,
first
for
discourse
,
that
men
grounded
vpon
the
same
principles
of
reason
,
quot
homines
tot
sententia
,
so
many
men
,
so
many
mindes
;
as
if
reason
were
not
the
same
in
all
,
but
that
there
were
different
and
distinct
rules
,
and
grounds
of
our
reason
.
As
their
are
fiue
senses
,
according
to
the
fiue
seuerall
obiects
in
our
sensible
nature
:
so
our
reason
(
forsooth
)
must
be
infinitly
multiplied
,
according
to
the
number
of
mens
braines
,
and
the
capacity
of
each
vnderstanding
;
our
reason
serues
rather
to
discouer
the
diuersiti●
of
our
opinions
and
iudgements
,
then
to
inforce
an
vnitie
of
consent
;
wheras
all
the
rest
of
the
creatures
they
haue
senses
alike
,
they
see
alike
,
feele
alike
,
taste
alike
;
and
for
their
outward
actions
,
they
are
all
carried
with
one
and
the
same
instinct
of
nature
,
only
in
men
their
wayes
are
in●init
,
their
iudgements
infinit
;
in
so
much
that
you
might
well
doubt
,
whether
they
all
consist
of
the
same
reasonable
soule
;
and
for
the
dumbe
creatures
,
if
you
wil
take
their
whole
kinde
,
together
with
their
naturall
actions
,
they
are
much
more
reasonable
,
more
wise
and
prouident
in
their
owne
kinde
,
then
is
man
,
notwithstanding
his
reasonable
soule
.
You
will
suppose
,
that
I
speake
only
of
the
promiscuous
multitude
,
and
of
such
only
,
whose
wit
will
serue
them
to
stir
vp
a
difference
or
doubt
,
but
whose
iudgement
is
too
weake
to
reconcile
the
controuersie
:
Petrus
Ramus
,
a
man
of
meane
knowledge
,
without
any
ordinary
parts
either
of
nature
or
learning
;
yet
through
his
owne
impudency
and
pride
,
(
desiring
an
innouation
of
all
Arts
,
to
cast
all
things
in
a
new
mould
,
to
build
his
own
fame
in
the
ruins
of
others
)
,
hath
opposed
himself
,
not
against
any
particular
opinion
,
but
against
the
whole
streame
and
current
of
all
ancient
learning
;
ouerthrowing
the
grounds
,
principles
,
and
rules
of
that
most
illustrious
&
thrice
renowned
Aristotle
,
whom
all
ages
doe
reuerence
and
acknowledge
to
haue
bin
natures
chiefe
secretary
,
or
best
counseller
of
estate
,
the
father
of
all
humane
knowledge
:
and
that
which
is
yet
more
strange
,
this
Ramus
hath
left
followers
and
Disciples
behind
him
,
who
seeme
to
be
like
affected
to
the
ancient
learning
,
reducing
all
things
,
(
euen
the
very
scope
&
foundation
of
arts
)
,
to
their
own
fond
inuention
,
and
barbarous
innouation
.
A
shame
it
is
,
that
Colledges
and
ancient
foundations
,
should
giue
harbour
to
such
a
wretched
brood
;
who
as
they
are
first
nourished
vp
in
obstinacy
and
wilfulnes
,
so
they
will
proue
to
bee
fire-brands
in
the
Church
;
who
neglecting
the
fathers
,
and
all
ancient
orders
and
decency
,
shall
with
their
owne
furious
and
witles
conceits
,
set
the
whole
world
in
combustion
.
The
second
vse
of
reason
is
,
according
to
the
nature
of
the
reasonable
soule
(
which
is
spiritual
)
,
to
raise
man
from
the
visible
creatures
,
to
the
inuisible
Deity
:
&
here
I
cannot
but
be
waile
the
great
curse
which
hath
befalne
man
;
for
some
there
are
,
who
in
their
studi●s
of
naturall
Philosophy
,
Others
,
considering
the
little
change
and
alteration
of
this
world
,
Surely
to
a
right
iudgement
,
Gods
prouidence
and
actions
doe
more
manifestly
appeare
by
the
little
and
small
alteration
in
nature
;
But
alas
,
woe
is
me
that
euer
I
was
borne
,
I
could
heartily
wish
,
that
my
tongue
did
clea●e
to
the
roofe
of
my
mouth
,
qui
super
seminauit
zizania
,
who
will
not
feare
to
approch
euen
to
the
highest
pinnacles
of
the
temple
;
that
religion
(
I
say
)
should
now
at
length
disquiet
mens
thoughts
,
molest
their
mindes
,
and
almost
distract
them
;
in
so
much
that
they
know
not
which
way
to
take
,
but
stand
very
doubtfull
euen
in
the
necessary
points
of
their
saluation
;
Christ
is
become
a
stumbling
blocke
,
the
truth
of
religion
(
by
the
corruption
of
our
nature
)
giuing
occasion
to
the
falshood
of
religion
,
as
in
ancient
times
the
sacrifice
of
beasts
among
the
Iewes
,
was
an
occasion
of
the
idolatrous
worshipping
of
beasts
among
the
Gentiles
.
Alas
,
how
many
are
perplexed
with
the
variety
,
and
diuersity
of
sects
,
not
knowing
how
to
resolue
themselues
?
whereas
in
truth
and
verity
,
there
can
be
no
greater
certainty
or
infallibility
,
then
in
the
immoueable
foundations
and
grounds
of
religion
;
if
we
shall
detract
from
the
wauering
vncertainty
of
our
own
fancies
,
and
relie
vpon
the
diuine
testimonies
;
the
exposition
and
true
meaning
whereof
,
by
the
daily
practise
of
the
Church
,
consent
of
Fathers
,
verdit
of
counsailes
,
hath
continually
,
visibly
and
successiuely
from
Christ
and
his
Apostles
descended
to
vs
.
O
happy
,
happy
,
thrise
happy
are
the
beasts
of
the
field
,
that
are
exempted
from
all
these
differences
!
I
will
from
henceforth
betake
my selfe
to
the
woods
,
and
the
groues
,
and
when
I
heare
the
chirping
birds
sing
,
in
stead
of
the
communion
of
Saints
,
I
will
ioyne
with
them
in
their
quier
,
they
shall
sing
their
notes
,
and
I
will
frame
this
dittie
,
to
the
father
to
the
son
and
to
the
holy
Ghost
,
three
persons
in
Tri●ity
,
one
God
in
vnity
,
be
honor
and
glory
now
and
for
e●er
.
This
difference
in
religion
,
I
suppose
to
be
shadowed
forth
in
the
different
and
distinct
sacrifices
of
Abell
and
Caine
,
Here
you
haue
seene
religion
died
in
her
own
bloud
;
but
now
I
will
tell
you
a
greater
mischiefe
,
religion
not
persecuted
,
which
makes
for
her
honor
;
but
maskt
,
disguised
and
counterfeited
,
Caesar
,
Tacitus
,
Macchi●uel
,
they
were
but
babes
and
fooles
in
policy
;
for
they
neuer
learned
this
lesson
,
how
to
lay
the
foundations
of
policie
,
and
to
build
vp
the
tower
of
iniquity
with
Church-stones
.
To
ground
all
factions
in
religion
,
this
is
a
monster
newly
hatched
in
our
dayes
,
in
this
last
and
worst
age
of
the
world
;
as
if
the
kingdome
of
grace
did
cleane
ouer-throwe
all
naturall
rights
;
as
if
heauen
could
not
subsist
with
the
earth
;
as
if
the
Morall
law
,
were
together
abrogated
with
the
Ceremoniall
:
But
O
blessed
Lord
God
,
keepe
thy
sheepe
,
keepe
thy
shepheards
,
keepe
them
as
the
aple
of
thine
owne
eye
;
let
Cain
be
accursed
,
let
him
answer
for
his
brother
Abels
bloud
,
let
him
be
a
runnagate
,
and
neuer
dare
to
approch
neere
thy
vine-yard
;
protect
(
O
Lord
)
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
and
let
not
any
violent
,
blo●dy
,
and
trayterous
hand
,
touch
thine
annoynted
.
My
intention
here
is
only
to
speake
of
the
curse
,
the
vndoubted
token
of
mans
fall
and
corruption
;
but
I
cannot
stay
my self
,
needs
I
must
craue
pardon
,
hauing
opened
the
wound
,
if
I
apply
the
salue
,
while
it
is
fresh
and
greene
,
I
may
with
great
ease
keepe
it
from
festering
;
heere
I
will
giue
thee
some
little
tast
of
that
,
Only
in
a
word
,
the
controuersies
of
religion
assuredly
they
are
such
,
that
if
a
man
be
of
the
least
vnderstanding
(
setting
the
feare
of
God
before
his
own
eyes
,
semen
mulieris
conteret
serpentis
caput
:
so
that
my
faith
and
religion
,
wherby
I
looke

the
faith
and
religion
of
Adam
,
which
I
can
deriue
by
a
lineall
descent
from
age
vnto
age
,
shewing
the
expresse
foot-steps
,
and
where
the
Church
hath
alwayes
resided
;
like
a
hungry
dog
thirsting
after
my
saluation
.
I
can
follow
the
sent
and
pursue
the
chase
,
from
the
first
day
of
the
worlds
birth
,
(
for
together
with
the
creation
of
man
,
was
the
end
of
mans

and
the
meanes
to
obtaine
this
end
,
Truth
is
most
ancient
,
as
being
of
the
nature
of
God
,
and
God
himselfe
is
the
ancient
of
dayes
;
and
in
all
our
doubts
of
religion
,
wee
must
still
flie
to
the
first
institution

this
present

being

of

the

of

Lord
God
1615.
dies
dierum
,
the
beginning
of
our
septuagessima
,
wherein
wee
remember
the
first
fall
of
Adam
,
and
the
birth
of
a
sinner
.
For
the
controuersies
in
generall
,
some
there
are
which
cannot
bee
reconciled
;
and
for
these
wee
will
mourne
and
lament
,
and
daily
beseech
God
for
their
happy
conuersion
:
In
these
differences
of
religion
,
I
do
acknowledges
wonderfull
and
vnspeakable
prouidence
of
God
,
for
some
of
them
seeme
to
make
more
for
Gods
glory
,
and
for
man●s●l●ation
;
And
therfore
I
will
conclude
,
that
the
Church
at
this
present
,
inregard
of
the
many
differences
,
may
fitly
be
shadowed
forth
in
Saint
Peters
calling
,
For
the
persecutions
of
the
Church
,
it
is
no
maruaile
though
God
doth
permit
them
,
seeing
that
Christian
religion
inioyning
man
pena●ce
for
his
finne
,
seemes
to
bee
a
kinde
of
persecution
▪
such
fastings
,
For
the
cloakes
and
pretenses
of
religion
,
what
should
I
say
,
the
best
things
are
soonest
abused
,
and
this
argues
our
corruption
;
if
thou
findest
desperat
attempts
couered
with
a
religious
habit
?
As
man
was
corrupted
,
and
all
the
creatures
forsaking
their
first
and
naturall
vse
,
did
serue
for
mans
punishment
,
and
rebelled
against
him
;
so
it
stood
with
the
vniformitie
of
Gods
iudgements
,
So
that
this
generall
deluge
was
indeed
the
generall
confusion
of
nature
;
and
as
it
was
the
death
of
nature
,
so
nature
her selfe
could
neither
hinder
nor
hasten
her
owne
death
;
and
being
once
fallen
,
I
do
much
more
wonder
at
the
staying
of
this
deluge
,
how
the
floud
should
cease
,
considering
the
nature
of
water
is
to
flow
vpon
the
●ace
of
the
earth
▪
for
vs
to
conceaue
that
the
sea
is
a
sinke
or
a
bottom
,
For
the
truth
and
certainty
of
this
deluge
,
see
how
God
did
dispose
in
his
prouidence
,
that
the
Arke
should
rest
vpon
the
mountaines
of
Ararat
,
amongst
which
(
as
I
finde
it
reported
)
there
are
the
highest
mountaines
in
the
world
,
and
the
most
in
number
;
which
was
an
vndoubted
argument
,
Nicholaus
Damascenus
,
an
heathen
man
writeth
,
that
in
a
generall
deluge
,
one
was
carried
in
an
Arke
,
and
rested
vpon
the
top
of
these
mountains
,
whereon
there
continued
a
long
time
after
,
certaine
peeces
and
fragments
of
the
Arke
;
and
this
might
bee
the
same
,
which
Moses
the
Law-giuer
of
the
Iewes
doth
mention
.
Many
signes
and
tokens
doe
likewise
appeare
in
nature
,
which
as
they
are
the
reliques
,
so
they
serue
as
most
vndoubted
arguments
and
proofes
of
the
deluge
;
per
iuxta
positionem
,
&
agglutinationem
,
When
I
consider
the
barrennesse
of
the
earth
for
many
leagues
together
,
I
suppose
likewise
,
that
the
vn-euennes
of
the
earth
(
the
hils
and
the
vales
)
were
much
caused
by
this
generall
deluge
;
for
ye
shall
obserue
,
that
the
highest
mountaines
vpon
earth
,
carrie
some
proportion
to
the
lowest
bottome
at
Sea
:
The
truth
of
this
deluge
to
the
Iewes
and
the
Christians
,
For
the
Gentiles
,
their
Philosophers
considering
that
the
world
was
vpheld
by
opposition
and
combate
of
elements
,
and
that
the
elements
were
not
equally
matched
,
but
doe
fight
vpon
disaduantage
;
for
two
of
them
are
actiue
and
two
passiue
,
the
actiue
qualities
farre
exceeding
the
passiue
in
vertue
,
power
and
operation
;
hereby
they
did
conceiue
that
there
might
be
an
ouerthrow
and
dissolution
in
nature
,
either
by
water
or
fire
,
which
were
therefore
not
improperly
called
the
dreadfull
and
destroying
elements
;
whereby
the
opinion
concerning
the
generall
deluge
,
was
made
the
more
credible
,
which
deluge
was
known
vnto
them
by
the
name
of
Ogiges
or
Deucalions
floud
:
not
,
but
that
I
acknowledge
there
was
a
floud
which
happened
in
the
time
of
Ogiges
,
and
another
in
the
time
of
Deucalion
;
but
assuredly
such
things
are
reported
of
these
two
flouds
,
which
could
not
be
competent
or
agreeable
,
but
onely
to
the
vniuersall
deluge
;
and
therefore
I
suppose
that
the
deluge
was
called
by
the
name
of
Ogiges
or
Deucalions
floud
,
because
these
gaue
occasion
,
and
did
rippe
vp
and
renew
the
memorie
thereof
;
this
I
conceiue
,
because
certaine
it
is
,
that
Noah
was
called
among
the
Gentiles
,
the
first
Ogiges
,
speaking
of
the
floud
which
happened
,
sub
prisco
Ogige
,
and
things
which
were
past
remembrance
were
called
Ogigia
;
Berosus
Chaldaeus
,
Hieronimus
Aegyptius
,
Nicholaus
Damascenus
,
Abydenus
and
others
,
according
as
both
Iosephus
and
Eusebius
doe
proue
;
Plato
in
Timaeo
,
seemes
to
remember
it
;
and
Berosus
,
who
was
the
most
auncient
writer
among
the
heathen
,
beginnes
his
historie
from
the
floud
in
these
words
:
Ante
aquarum
cladem
famosam
,
qua
vniuersus
perijt
orbis
,
&c.
beyond
which
course
of
time
no
historie
,
no
author
,
no
monument
is
extant
;
and
that
you
may
not
thinke
,
that
this
truth
was
fastened
vpon
the
ancients
,
or
that
their
workes
should
heerein
admit
a
fauourable
construction
;
the
Heathen
and
Pagans
at
this
day
in
Bresill
,
and
other
countries
of
the
West-Indies
,
lately
discouered
in
our
age
,
where
neuer
any
Christian
professors
were
knowne
to
teach
;
yet
they
talke
of
the
drowning
of
the
world
,
which
happened
in
times
past
;
and
they
say
,
that
this
was
left
vnto
them
by
tradition
,
time
out
of
minde
,
by
the
inhabitants
of
those
places
.
But
why
doe
I
thus
trouble
my
●●lfe
with
the
deluge
?
behold
I
see
a
waterie
signe
in
the
cloudes
,
containing
in
it selfe
a
great
varietie
of
glittering
colours
,
as
it
were
resembling
the
beautie
of
Nature
,
which
by
a
speciall
indulgence
of
God
,
shall
preserue
vs
from
the
like
in-undation
of
waters
.
humbly
praising
and
magnifying
God
,
that
as
the
old
world
was
ouerwhelmed
by
waters
;
so
God
in
his
mercie
hath
appointed
,
that
there
should
be
a
regeneration
by
waters
,
that
the
old
Adam
being
washed
and
cleansed
from
sinne
,
we
might
be
receiued
into
the
arke
of
Christs
Church
,
through
the
sanctifying
waters
of
the
holy
stood
of
Iordan
.
Hauing
spoken
of
the
first
ouerthrow
of
the
world
by
waters
,
I
cannot
but
in
a
word
,
(
for
similitude
of
argument
,
though
otherwise
the
iudgements
shall
bee
wrought
by
different
and
contrary
meanes
)
,
speake
of
the
second
ouerthrow
,
which
shall
be
by
fire
,
in
a
generall
combustion
.
Behold
then
,
the
earnest
of
this
last
iudgement
,
when
as
Sodom
and
Gomorrha
were
consumed
with
fire
from
heauen
,
that
it
might
serue
for
euer
as
a
remarkable
token
,
Galen
,
Pausanias
,
Solinus
,
Tacitus
,
and
Strabo
,
all
of
them
testifying
and
shewing
the
particular
wonders
thereof
.
But
you
will
say
,
that
this
iudgement
is
only
proper
and
priuate
to
the
inhabitants
of
those
parts
;
and
that
little
trust
or
credit
is
to
bee
giuen
to
trauellers
in
this
kinde
:
But
how
am
I
falne
at
length
,
to
speake
of
water
and
fire
?
as
if
the
Deluge
,
or
the
burning
of
Sodom
,
could
betoken
the
generall
fall
and
corruption
;
when
as
(
in
deed
)
they
were
the
particular
punishments
of
actuall
sinnes

Come

goe
downe

and
there

,
that
euery

&c.
This
confusion
of
tongues
first
began
at
Babell
,
and
is
now
generally
spread
ouer
the
face
of
the
whole
world
:
common
and
daily
experience
can
witnesse
the
truth
of
the
successe
,
and
the
diuine
testimonie
shewes
the
first
originall
.
Eusebius
likewise
citeth
at
large
the
testimonies
both
of
Abydenus
,
who
liued
about
King
Alexander
time
,
and
of
Sibylla
,
as
also
the
words
of
Hestieus
,
concerning
the
land
of
Senaar
,
where
it
was
builded
:
and
these
Gentiles
doe
shew
by
reason
,
that
if
there
had
not
been
some
such
miracle
in
the
diuision
of
tongues
;
no
doubt
but
that
all
tongues
being
deriued
of
one
(
as
all
men
are
descended
of
one
father
)
the
same
tongues
would
haue
retained
the
same
rootes
,
and
principles
,
as
in
all
dialects
or
deriuation
of
tongues
,
we
see
that
it
commeth
to
passe
:
but
now
(
say
they
)
in
many
tongues
,
at
this
day
,
wee
see
that
there
is
no
likelihood
or
affinity
among
them
,
but
are
al
different
the
one
from
the
other
:
and
thereby
it
appeareth
,
that
they
were
made
diuers
and
distinct
by
some
speciall
miracle
.
Herein
the
iustice
of
God
appeares
,
that
seeing
man
desired
to
continue
his
owne
memorie
,
by
the
workes
of
his
owne
hands
,
without
any
reference
to
the
diuine
power
;
therefore
God
confoundeth
their
tongues
,
For
the
large
extent
of
this
punishment
,
it
may
well
appeare
by
a
due
consideration
,
either
of
place
,
or
time
.
For
all
nations
in
the
world
seeme
more
to
be
diuided
with
tongues
,
To
let
passe
,
how
nations
haue
issued
out
of
nations
,
and
all
men
descended
from
one
,
whereby
they
might
retaine
the
same
speech
and
language
,
Consider
the
instruments
of
speech
,
the
throate
,
the
tongue
,
the
teeth
,
But
(
I
pray'
)
consider
the
occasions
which
might
serue
●or
the
retaining
of
the
same
language
:
Are
not
all
men
deriued
from
the
loines
of
one
,
If
our
beginning
bee
forgotten
,
and
that
wee
haue
learned
a
strange
language
;
yet
(
me
thinkes
)
the
noble
and
braue
conquest
of
Princes
,
If
the
sword
cannot
preuaile
,
yet
(
me
thinkes
)
the
necessity
of
trading
,
But
of
all
other
meanes
to
reduce
the
world
to
one
language
,
(
me
thinks
)
the
greatest
consists
either
in
the
necessity
of
the
same
lawes
,
This
punishment
doth
not
only
argue
how
tongues
are
confounded
among
themselues
,
that
from
one
naturall
and
instrumentall
tongue
,
Suppose
the
heart
and
the
tongue
should
ioyne
their
forces
together
,
and
both
labour
and
ioyne
in
one
action
;
yet
what
a
difficulty
appeares
in
respect
of
the
subiect
,
Especially
I
conceaue
,
that
it
is
a
great
difficulty
for
a
wiseman
to
expresse
his
own
meaning
,
How
great
a
part
of
our
age
is
taken
vp
in
learning
of
languages
,
from
ten
to
twenty
,
from
twenty
to
thirtie
,
The
greatest
confusion
(
in
my
iudgement
)
doth
herein
especially
appeare
,
when
the
parts
do
wilfully
and
maliciously
oppose
each
other
:
that
notwithstanding
the
hearts
priuitie
and
knowledge
,
To
leaue
the
great
and
crying
sinne
of
periurie
,
it
stood
with
the
iustice
of
God
(
the
heart
and
the
tongue
being
thus
diuided
)
to
set
a
difference
betweene
the
eare
and
the
vnderstanding
:
Lumbard
,
Sanctus
Thomas
,
Scotus
,
Occam
,
yet
are
contemned
and
neglected
by
this
poeticall
and
phantasticall
age
,
which
delights
more
in
words
then
in
substance
.
To
giue
an
euident
proofe
of
this
confusion
of
tongues
,
how
plentifull
are
the
schooles
,
and
how
doe
they
abound
with
multitudes
of
distinctions
?
all
answers
must
end
with
distinctions
,
which
assuredly
wel
argueth
,
that
if
the
branches
must
necessarily
be
diuided
,
to
serue
the
present
turne
and
occasion
,
yet
still
the
roote
is
confounded
:
a
great
iudgement
of
God
,
that
man
hauing
forsaken
the
first
fruite
,
and
hauing
associated
himselfe
to
the
beasts
of
the
field
;
therfore
he
proues
a
stranger
to
himselfe
,
to
his
brethren
,
and
forgets
his
owne
mother
tongue
.
That
which
gaue
occasion
to
this
opinion
,
was
this
,
what
language
men
should
speake
in
Paradise
,
or
after
the
last
resurrection
,
supposing
that
language
to
bee
naturall
to
man
;
and
certainly
of
all
the
to●gues
extant
,
Hebrew
is
the
likeliest
,
Eloi
eloi
lamasabacthani
,
notwithstanding
the
tongue
was
vnknowne
to
the
souldiers
.
And
in
the
Apocalyps
,
although
the
booke
was
first
written
in
Greeke
,
yet
the
Angels
song
in
heauen
is
there
recorded
in
Hebrew
:
but
when
I
consider
,
that
man
shall
haue
a
higher
state
,
then
was
the
state
of
Paradise
,
and
that
his
bodie
shall
be
much
more
spirituall
,
and
his
vnderstanding
more
illuminated
,
then
euer
before
;
for
we
shall
then
be
like
the
Angels
of
heauen
,
who
speake
to
each
other
,
by
directing
the
edge
of
their
vnderstanding
to
each
other
,
as
it
were
opening
the
glasses
,
and
casting
foorth
a
light
to
each
other
:
Considering
(
I
say
)
the
different
condition
of
renewing
to
a
better
state
,
and
continuance
in
the
same
state
,
they
must
pardon
me
,
if
I
doe
not
affirme
this
,
as
an
vndoubted
truth
in
mine
owne
priuate
opinion
.
From
this
diuersitie
and
varietie
of
tongues
,
you
shall
obserue
a
great
disorder
both
in
the
State
and
in
the
Church
;
whence
proceedes
the
enmitie
betweene
nations
,
Sometimes
in
the
very
exposition
,
or
interpretation
of
words
,
being
simple
and
first
notions
,
(
as
the
schoole
speakes
)
and
no
tearmes
of
art
:
there
are
many
&
great
controuersies
in
Christian
religion
,
whether
Christ
in
his
sole
and
humane
nature
did
really
and
truly
descend
into
hell
;
As
I
haue
remembred
the
iust
punishment
for
our
sinnes
,
so
giue
me
leaue
in
thankefulnesse
of
minde
to
consider
Gods
prouidence
,
in
this
our
confusion
of
tongues
.

quos
Deus
coniunxit
,
homo
ne
separet
;
God
hath
made
vs
one
Nation
,
and
one
people
,
and
whome
God
hath
ioyned
,
let
no
man
set
a
sunder
.
Secondly
,
whereas
the
confusion
of
tongues
seemes
to
make
for
the
difficulty
and
obscurity
of
knowledge
;
behold
the
great
prouidence
of
God
,
In
this
confusion
of
tongues
,
the
same
prouidence
of
God
doth
likewise
appeare
,
as
concerning
the
poynt
of
our
religion
,
Iesus
Nazarenus
Rex
Iudaeorum
:
which
was
written
in
three
seuerall
Languages
,
as
it
were
proclayming
him
to
the
whole
world
the
king
of
the
Iewes
;
though
Pylate
might
bee
enforced
to
crucifie
him
,
yet
he
could
neuer
bee
enforced
to
alter
or
change
the
title
,
which
was
lesse
in
effect
,
Quod
scripsi
,
scripsi
,
for
so
the
wisedome
of
God
hath
decreed
;
and
impossible
it
was
,
that
one
iot
or
tittle
of
the
lawe
should
miscarry
,
which
law
whole
and
entire
,
together
with
the
superscription
and
kingdome
of
Christ
,
hath
still
beene
continued
,
maugre
the
attempts
of
men
,
the
slanders
and
reproches
of
the
Iewes
,
when
they
themselues
were
scattered
▪
the
malicious
practises
of
the
Gentiles
,
when
they
themselues
are
confounded
;
the
manie
persecutions
,
and
great
effusion
of
blood
in
the
Church
,
which
indeed
did
serue
as
seed
to
ingender
,
that
so
the
blessing
of
God
might
appeare
in
this
our
confusion
of
tongues
.
Secondly
,
after
his
exaltation
,
he
tooke
occasion
by
this
diuersity
of
tongues
,
to
send
into
the
world
his
holy
and
blessed
Spirit
;
which
came
to
the
Apostles
in
the
forme
of
fiery
and
clouen
tongues
,
I
will
not
stay
my
time
,
Now
in
this
generall
confusion
,
Vt
secundum
rectam
lin●am
incedam
,
that
borne
of
the
dust
,
and
tending
to
the
dust
,
I
should
keep
my
straight
way
,
neither
puft
vp
with
pride
aboue
my
naturall
state
,
nor
sinking
downe
with
despaire
beneath
my
condition
;
that
I
should
not
vpon
any
occasion
start
out
of
the
way
,
but
remembring
my
beginning
,
remembring
my
end
,
I
should
square
out
my
course
and
trauaile
accordingly
.
Intending
therfore
to
speak
of
the
Fall
of
Man
,
the
corruption
of
nature
,
&
the
punishment
of
the
first
sinne
,
I
will
lay
aside
all
other
slighter
punishments
,
all
chastisements
and
corrections
of
sinne
,
which
were
infinite
to
repeate
;
and
I
will
onely
insist
in
those
two
generall
iudgements
,
being
indeed
the
extreames
,
the
first
and
the
last
,
including
all
other
punishments
within
their
bounds
,
1.
In
dolore
paries
,
thou
shal●
bring
forth
with
paine
and
sorrow
,
being
spoken
to
the
woman
;
2.
Morte
morieris
,
thou
shalt
dye
the
death
,
pronounced
indifferently
against
both
:
and
thus
his
corruption
shal
appeare
by
his
first
welcome
and
salutation
into
this
world
,
and
by
his
last
adue
and
farewell
out
of
his
world
;
you
shall
better
iudge
of
the
whole
course
of
his
entertainement
in
this
world
.
In
dolore
paries
,
Vnto
the
woman
God
said
,
I
will
greatly
increase
thy
sorrowes
and
thy
conceptions
:
in
sorrow
shalt
thou
bring
foorth
children
,
&c.
As
the
woman
first
sinned
in
tasting
the
forbidden
fruite
,
so
she
is
punished
in
the
fruite
of
her
owne
wombe
;
here
is
the
fruite
of
Gods
iustice
.
But
is
it
possible
,
that
the
most
naturall
action
,
which
indeede
intends
the
highest
perfection
of
nature
,
generare
sibi
simile
,
should
notwithstanding
proceede
with
such
difficultie
,
danger
,
and
torment
?
In
all
other
actions
and
workes
of
nature
,
you
shall
easily
obserue
,
how
they
flow
with
the
greatest
ease
and
delight
of
the
subiect
.
O
how
sweete
and
acceptable
is
sleepe
to
the
wearisome
body
,
meate
to
the
hungrie
,
drinke
to
the
thirstie
!
and
so
for
al
other
naturall
workes
!
I
will
not
insist
in
them
;
take
death
it selfe
,
as
it
is
natural
to
man
,
so
vndoubtedly
it
is
without
sorrow
or
griefe
:
for
the
punishment
was
,
morte
morieris
,
but
not
,
in
dolore
morieris
:
if
you
will
suppose
man
to
rise
by
steps
and
degrees
,
and
to
fall
againe
by
the
same
steps
and
degrees
;
suppose
him
(
I
say
)
growing
vnto
25.
yeers
,
when
the
moysture
seemes
to
bridle
his
heate
;
then
increasing
in
strength
vnto
33.
yeeres
,
there
to
come
to
a
state
of
consistencie
,
vntill
50.
yeeres
be
expired
;
then
by
the
same
degrees
declining
and
decaying
,
so
that
his
moysture
and
heate
giues
place
to
his
coldnesse
and
drinesse
;
comming
at
length
to
the
disease
of
old
age
,
without
any
vnnaturall
distemper
,
assuredly
his
life
shall
end
as
doth
a
lampe
for
want
of
oyle
,
fire
for
want
of
fuell
,
without
any
paine
or
torment
:
but
as
the
breath
proceedes
from
his
nostrels
,
so
shall
the
soule
take
her
flight
,
and
leaue
the
carkase
behinde
her
;
for
heerein
consists
the
difference
betweene
naturall
and
vnnatural
actions
,
the
one
performed
with
the
greatest
ease
and
facilitie
,
the
other
being
wrung
out
with
violence
,
carrie
in
themselues
torture
and
sorrow
.
Thus
all
diseases
proue
therefore
our
torments
,
because
they
are
vnnaturall
;
then
why
should
nature
be
defectiue
in
her
highest
worke
,
that
conception
and
deliuerie
should
bee
with
such
sorrow
?
whereas
the
principall
intent
of
nature
is
to
preserue
her selfe
,
and
to
propagate
her
seed
:
behold
the
punishment
and
corruption
of
nature
,
when
she
cannot
performe
the
one
,
without
the
great
hazard
and
danger
of
the
other
;
this
certainly
cannot
consist
with
the
first
institution
,
and
integritie
of
nature
,
but
is
a
subsequent
punishment
accompanying
our
sinne
.
Consider
all
other
creatures
,
and
you
shall
finde
that
by
the
seate
and
disposition
of
their
wombes
;
by
the
forme
,
figure
,
and
members
of
the
embrion
;
by
the
proportion
and
quantitie
betweene
both
;
If
some
other
creatures
seeme
to
labour
in
the
birth
,
then
acknowledge
,
that
for
mans
sinne
the
whole
earth
was
accursed
,
Reasons
(
I
know
)
there
are
alleaged
in
Physicke
and
Philosophy
,
for
this
great
paine
in
the
birth
and
generation
of
man
:
suppose
it
did
proceed
from
natural
causes
,
Sorrow
I
say
,
for
there
is
no
sorrow
comparable
to
the
sorrow
of
a
woman
in
the
time
of
her
trauaile
;
from
their
first
quickning
or
conception
you
shall
obserue
them
,
with
pale
lookes
,
heauy
eyes
,
apt
to
faint
vpon
euery
occasion
,
But
heere
I
will
acquaint
you
with
a
strange
point
of
crueltie
,
men
must
become
wiues
,
men
among
wiues
,
men-midwiues
I
meane
;
I
will
first
fall
downe
on
my
knees
,
hould
vp
my
hands
,
lift
vp
mine
eyes
,
and
(
if
I
can
)
I
will
shed
forth
a
few
t●ar●s
,
and
humblie
desire
God
to
helpe
,
and
comfort
all
those
poore
sillie
women
,
which
shall
haue
occasion
to
vse
their
helpe
:
heere
you
shall
see
sometimes
the
bellies
opened
,
the
flesh
rent
,
the
tunicles
cut
in
sunder
,
to
finde
out
a
new
passage
for
the
poore
infant
,
who
must
come
into
this
world
through
the
bowels
of
his
dead
mother
,
and
vpon
his
first
approch
,
may
be
iustly
accused
,
and
arraigned
for
a
murtherer
;
if
his
mother
escape
,
then
sometimes
you
may
see
the
poore
innocent
childe
mangled
,
executed
and
quartered
in
the
wombe
:
there
was
no
great
offence
(
I
confesse
)
,
vnlesse
it
were
the
sin
of
his
first
father
;
but
indeed
I
am
affraid
to
speake
any
longer
of
these
bloudy
cruelties
,
I
will
not
lay
open
my
nakednesse
,
I
will
not
defile
mine
owne
neast
,
the
punishment
sufficiently
appeares
,
and
well
betokens
the
corruption
.
As
I
haue
made
man
the
instrument
of
cruelty
,
so
I
cannot
alwayes
&
altogether
excuse
him
,
Iuno
Lucina
fer
opem
,
I
pray'
send
for
the
midwiues
,
and
let
vs
see
what
this
great
mountaine
will
bring
forth
:
forsooth
his
teeth
ake
,
his
bones
are
crasie
,
his
eye-sight
fayles
him
,
hee
is
troubled
with
rheumes
,
sometimes
with
the
megrime
;
Physicke
will
not
helpe
him
,
the
times
of
the
yeere
will
not
auaile
him
,
but
the
poore
man
must
expect
his
wiues
deliuerie
.
Hath
God
ordained
this
to
shew
the
entire
league
,
and
compassionat
heart
,
that
should
passe
between
man
and
wife
,
and
how
they
are
both
equally
ingaged
in
the
issue
?
hath
God
appointed
this
to
teach
man
and
wife
,
that
the
end
of
their
loue
should
tend
to
procreation
?
strange
it
were
and
wonderfull
in
nature
,
were
it
not
,
that
the
husband
is
the
sonne
of
a
woman
,
and
therfore
partakes
of
her
weaknes
and
imperfection
,
partus
sequitur
ventrem
,
and
is
in
some
sort
lyable
to
her
curse
.
Heere
you
would
expect
of
me
,
that
I
should
assigne
and
point
out
the
causes
of
this
fellow-feeling
,
Will
you
yet
presse
me
further
,
to
lay
open
the
secret
causes
,
Philosophy
(
as
likewise
all
other
arts
and
sciences
)
,
treates
onely
of
things
generall
,
and
cannot
descend
to
things
in
particular
,
Hee
that
shall
desire
to
bee
better
informed
in
these
hidden
and
secret
qualities
,
I
would
referre
him
to
those
learned
authors
,
from
whom
(
I
suppose
)
he
should
receiue
good
contentment
,
and
satisfaction
:
as
namely
,
Aristotle
,
Albertus
Magnus
,
Zimara
,
Fracastorius
and
others
.
Now
for
this
present
instance
,
Lest
the
enemies
of
learning
,
the
enemies
of
religion
should
here
condemne
vs
;
and
for
this
one
defect
(
being
not
able
to
make
plaine
demonstration
of
all
secrets
and
hidden
qualities
)
should
therefore
thinke
our
knowledge
vnprofitable
;
I
haue
forgotten
my selfe
,
and
whether
out
of
the
loue
of
Philosophie
,
or
out
of
mine
owne
modestie
,
desiring
to
conceale
these
points
of
secrecie
(
the
paines
and
labours
in
child-birth
)
,
I
am
fallen
into
this
discourse
?
I
will
now
againe
retire
my selfe
,
and
I
will
instance
in
the
two
sexes
.
This
punishment
was
not
only
inflicted
on
the
woman
in
the
time
of
her
trauaile
,
but
it
is
further
extended
,
Yet
giue
me
leaue
to
instance
in
those
parts
,
which
appeare
to
the
sight
.
The
sweete
paps
,
which
serue
to
allure
the
husband
,
For
the
males
,
they
are
not
excused
from
the
like
sorrow
;
what
strange
and
noysome
diseases
doe
befall
the
generatiue
parts
?
lues
venerea
,
priapismus
,
gonorrhaea
;
I
am
ashamed
of
my selfe
,
and
me
thinkes
my
mouth
is
defiled
with
speaking
of
them
:
onely
giue
me
leaue
to
reckon
vp
one
among
the
miseries
proper
to
this
time
,
among
the
inuentions
and
monsters
of
this
last
age
,
for
the
ancients
neuer
heard
of
it
.
There
is
a
disease
begotten
amongst
vs
,
These
things
being
duly
considered
,
(
if
I
were
worthy
)
I
would
giue
this
aduice
to
Ladies
,
and
Gentle
women
,
who
now
labour
in
the
paines
and
perill
of
child-birth
;
that
during
this
time
,
Now
giue
me
leaue
to
relate
some
few
accidencies
,
which
doe
accompanie
our
conception
,
whereof
I
may
speake
without
offence
:
Consider
(
I
pray'
)
how
du●●ng
the
time
of
their
conception
,
In
the
time
of
their
deliuerie
,
I
haue
heard
it
credibly
reported
,
and
so
I
may
affirme
it
vpon
tradition
,
that
nothing
so
much
asswageth
their
paine
,
and
giues
them
that
ease
,
I
cannot
thus
leaue
the
punishment
in
the
mother
,
but
I
must
likewise
trace
it
in
the
infant
.
Comming
into
the
world
,
At
length
wee
begin
to
open
our
eyes
,
and
to
looke
about
vs
,
and
here
we
wonder
and
admire
all
things
,
as
being
strangers
arriued
in
a
new-found
world
;
we
are
apt
to
place
our
loue
on
euery
obiect
,
How
credulous
and
easie
of
beliefe
are
the
young
children
,
as
if
they
were
fit
subiects
to
be
againe
seduced
by
the
serpent
?
how
do
they
rather
incline
vnto
hate
then
vnto
loue
,
See
,
see
these
little
children
,
how
apt
they
are
to
learne
all
lewdnesse
and
naughtinesse
!
if
there
be
but
a
nicke-name
,
But
I
forget
my selfe
;
vnles
I
should
here
stay
(
I
feare
)
I
should
againe
and
againe
run
through
the
whole
course
of
his
life
,
neither
indeed
dare
I
far
proceed
in
this
subiect
,
for
I
know
what
some
will
say
,
that
bachelors
children
are
euer
well
taught
;
giue
me
therefore
leaue
retiring
far
backe
,
to
make
the
longer
leape
,
from
the
cradle
to
the
coffin
;
being
fast
bound
vp
with
swadling
cloutes
,
I
will
exchange
them
for
my
winding
sheet
,
and
so
in
the
last
place
I
come
to
the
last
punishment
of
the
first
sinne
;
morte
morieris
,
thou
shalt
die
the
death
,
Gen.
3.
v.
19.
In
the
sweat
of
thy
face
shalt
thou
eate
bread
,
till
thou
returne
to
the
earth
,
for
out
of
it
wast
thou
taken
,
because
thou
art
dust
,
and
to
dust
shalt
thou
returne
.
I
confesse
indeed
,
I
shal
incurre
a
disorderly
method
,
if
you
consider
the
course
and
order
of
nature
,
for
nature
passeth
by
degrees
,
natura
non
facit
saltum
,
she
takes
no
leape
;
but
when
I
consider
the
necessity
of
death
,
together
with
the
casualtie
and
vncertainty
of
all
other
accidents
which
may
befall
man
(
statutum
est
hominibus
mori
,
there
is
a
statute
past
that
al
men
must
die
;
but
peraduenture
I
shall
be
rich
,
I
shall
be
poore
;
peraduenture
I
shall
grow
ould
,
I
shall
be
blind
;
peraduenture
I
shall
be
lame
,
I
shall
be
a
criple
;
but
without
all
peraduenture
I
shall
die
;
thus
there
being
a
necessity
of
death
,
together
with
a
great
vncertaintie
of
the
time
)
I
do
appeale
to
the
strictnesse
and
rigour
of
lawe
,
If
all
other
creatures
were
subiect
to
death
,
yet
(
me
thinks
)
obseruing
the
course
and
prouidence
of
nature
,
Consider
this
inferior
world
,
consisting
of
the
same
different
and
contrary
elements
,
yet
still
continuing
in
the
same
state
;
assuredly
it
is
no
greater
difficulty
to
preserue
man
from
death
,
Not
to
insist
alone
in
this
sublunarie
world
;
strange
it
is
,
that
the
heauens
themselues
which
were
onely
ordained
for
mans
vse
,
Especially
when
I
consider
,
how
the
better
part
of
man
(
the
soule
)
is
immortal
and
vnchangeable
;
The
●oule
desiring
the
continuance
of
this
vnion
,
why
should
she
not
be
able
to
effect
it
;
she
frames
and
fashions
in
the
wombe
,
all
the
members
of
mans
body
for
her
owne
vse
and
seruice
,
anima
fabricatur
sibi
domicilium
:
though
Gods
power
appeares
in
our
making
,
yet
God
vseth
meanes
,
and
these
meanes
can
bee
none
other
,
then
the
actions
of
the
soule
it selfe
;
a
baser
agent
God
would
neuer
imploy
in
such
an
excellent
worke
,
and
a
greater
worke-man
all
nature
could
not
afford
him
.
Now
the
soule
hauing
thus
framed
the
body
,
if
she
dislikes
any
thing
,
she
must
blame
none
but
her selfe
;
if
all
things
be
perfect
and
sound
in
the
first
fabricke
and
architecture
of
man
,
then
in
the
succeeding
actions
of
life
,
the
soule
is
the
first
fountaine
,
and
the
onely
acti●●
principle
of
all
seuerall
operations
:
for
I
receiue
my
temper
,
my
constitution
,
my
colour
,
my
digestion
,
my
nourishment
,
my
strength
,
my
growth
,
and
all
from
my
soule
.
If
there
be
an
error
or
fault
,
I
must
blame
and
cast
the
aspersion
vpon
my
soule
;
that
notwithstanding
her
owne
eternity
;
yet
she
should
lead
me
to
the
paths
of
mortality
:
for
herein
I
dare
bouldly
excuse
mine
owne
flesh
,
my
flesh
is
innocent
,
if
not
of
my
sinne
yet
of
my
bloud
;
and
the
soule
is
the
sole
murtherer
,
for
the
body
is
onely
subiect
to
passion
,
as
it
please
the
soule
to
worke
,
so
it
must
suffer
:
as
the
soule
receiues
the
praise
and
commendation
in
the
goodnesse
of
her
actions
;
so
let
her
take
vnto
her selfe
,
the
shame
and
reproch
in
the
defects
and
imperfections
.
Though
there
may
be
(
I
confesse
)
some
little
difference
in
the
appetites
and
inclinations
of
both
,
Suppose
the
soule
should
be
defectiue
in
her
actions
;
as
that
for
want
of
a
full
and
perfect
concoction
,
the
stomake
should
be
filled
vp
with
rawe
humors
,
which
at
length
should
seaze
vpon
the
liuer
,
and
there
breake
forth
like
a
spring
or
a
fountaine
,
and
so
bee
conuayed
in
the
conduit-pipes
of
our
veines
,
thorough
the
trunke
of
the
whole
body
;
yet
cannot
the
soule
instantly
recall
her selfe
,
and
correct
her
owne
error
?
cannot
heate
bee
allayed
with
couldnesse
,
moysture
with
drought
,
and
euery
distemper
be
cured
with
the
application
of
his
contrarie
?
I
cannot
conceaue
the
reasonable
soule
to
be
a
foole
,
and
therefore
needs
she
must
be
a
Physitian
;
If
nature
might
faile
in
her
particular
ends
,
yet
(
me
thinks
)
the
whole
scope
and
generall
intent
of
nature
should
not
bee
frustrate
and
made
voide
.
There
is
nothing
so
common
and
triuiall
in
Schooles
(
wherein
nature
is
best
discouered
,
Corruptio
vnius
est
generatio
alterius
,
the
death
of
one
is
the
birth
of
another
,
for
nature
consists
in
alteration
and
change
;
and
it
would
much
disparage
nature
,
if
there
were
such
a
death
,
as
did
wholly
make
for
her
losse
,
and
no
way
redound
to
her
encrease
.
In
all
other
creatures
you
shal
obserue
this
truth
:
Suppose
a
beast
were
slaine
,
his
body
should
be
dissolued
into
the
bodies
of
the
elements
,
his
forme
into
the
formes
of
the
elements
,
as
both
of
them
were
first
composed
of
the
elements
,
nothing
should
bee
lost
through
the
negligence
of
nature
,
but
all
should
be
gleaned
vp
,
and
very
safely
reserued
for
a
new
succeeding
generation
.
Now
in
the
death
of
man
,
the
body
is
the
sole
bootie
of
nature
,
she
cannot
seaze
vpon
the
soule
,
she
cannot
retaine
such
an
inestimable
treasure
,
the
soule
is
escaped
:
as
long
as
life
continued
in
man
,
the
soule
was
vnder
the
iurisdiction
and
power
of
nature
;
but
the
body
being
once
dissolued
,
nature
hath
lost
her
owne
right
,
and
cannot
intend
any
new
generation
by
vertue
of
that
soule
.
A
foule
error
of
nature
,
that
hauing
the
soule
once
committed
to
her
custodie
and
charge
,
she
should
open
the
gates
,
or
breake
downe
the
prison
walles
to
lose
such
a
iewell
,
which
was
neuer
gotten
by
her
owne
purchase
,
nor
cannot
bee
recalled
againe
with
all
her
might
and
power
:
so
then
in
the
death
of
man
,
and
so
man
alone
,
the
corruption
,
and
nothing
but
the
corruption
of
nature
sufficiently
appeares
.
I
would
not
willingly
speak
of
a
punishment
,
wherein
the
mercie
and
goodnesse
of
God
should
not
together
appeare
with
his
iustice
:
but
when
I
haue
once
spoken
of
death
,
First
,
death
seemes
to
instruct
man
,
to
preach
vnto
him
the
reformation
of
his
life
,
and
thereby
doth
witnesse
his
naturall
and
inbred
corruption
:
the
couetous
man
,
Mary
Magdalen
,
who
might
witnesse
and
testifie
as
much
as
Christ
had
reported
:
I
will
not
stand
vpon
the
truth
of
this
traditon
;
though
certaine
it
is
,
that
both
these
accidents
fell
out
much
about
the
same
time
.
The
very
bones
of
the
dead
,
being
serued
vp
at
a
banket
,
wil
bee
a
fit
sauce
to
season
our
immoderate
mirth
:
the
tombes
of
the
dead
are
for
the
instruction
of
the
liuing
,
monumenta
monent
mentem
,
we
tread
vpon
the
flesh
of
our
forefathers
,
which
is
now
become
the
dust
of
the
Temple
.
Death
is
an
excellent
meanes
to
stirre
vp
pietie
,
and
deuotion
:
the
mariners
in
guiding
their
ships
,
must
sit
in
the
end
,
to
hold
and
gouerne
the
stearne
;
and
the
end
of
euerything
,
is
the
first
in
intension
,
though
the
last
in
execution
.
Hence
it
is
,
that
the
religious
persons
in
al
ages
,
were
frequentes
in
cemiterijs
,
alwaies
busily
imploied
about
the
tombes
of
the
dead
:
their
cloysters
of
recreation
were
places
of
burials
for
their
meditation
;
if
they
found
themselues
giuen
to
immoderate
ioy
,
their
delight
was
abated
with
the
sight
&
smell
of
dead
bones
.
Thus
liuing
they
were
dead
,
their
mind
was
among
the
dead
,
they
conuersed
with
the
dead
:
and
thus
the
meditation
of
death
,
did
prescribe
vnto
them
(
answerable
to
a
vale
of
miserie
,
befitting
a
sinfull
state
)
a
course
of
life
in
mortification
and
sorrow
.
O
death
,
which
doest
astonish
man
with
thy
sight
,
how
fearefull
is
thy
blow
!
when
wee
shall
goe
and
neuer
returne
,
or
recouer
our
owne
strength
;
Soles
occidere
&
redire
possunt
,
at
nobis
nox
perpetua
dormienda
est
.
O
death
,
which
in
this
last
age
of
the
world
,
(
wherin
sinne
and
iniquitie
doe
abound
,
and
religion
seemes
to
haue
taken
vp
wings
,
and
euery
where
to
bee
put
to
flight
,
and
indeede
to
haue
gone
vp
to
heauen
,
from
whence
she
descended
)
yet
death
stands
like
a
stoute
champion
to
fight
in
defence
of
religion
;
death
stands
at
the
backe
of
religion
,
As
it
serues
for
a
meanes
of
our
conuersion
,
so
is
it
no
lesse
cause
of
great
ioy
and
comfort
to
a
well
resolued
Christian
;
He
shall
not
leaue
his
soule
in
hell
,
nor
suffer
his
holy
one
to
see
corruption
.
Thus
is
death
now
become
the
sole
sacrifice
of
a
Christian
man
,
O
death
where
is
thy
sting
!
O
hell
where
is
thy
victorie
!
the
sting
of
death
is
sinne
,
the
strength
of
sinne
is
the
law
:
but
thankes
be
vnto
God
who
hath
giuen
vs
victorie
,
through
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
Death
is
the
sole
comfort
in
all
my
worldly
miseries
,
for
it
seemes
to
be
the
vpshot
and
period
of
my
woe
:
which
if
I
shal
once
attaine
(
as
needs
I
must
attaine
)
,
then
shall
I
be
like
the
sea
faring
man
,
who
being
arriued
in
the
Hauen
,
hath
safely
escaped
the
troublesome
waues
of
this
turbulent
world
;
the
assurance
and
expectation
whereof
,
I
shall
dye
,
I
shall
dye
;
here
is
my
comfort
,
for
here
is
the
end
of
my
woe
.
What
if
the
bloodie
Tyrant
shall
sport
himselfe
,
in
the
shedding
of
my
innocent
blood
?
what
if
the
great
states-man
shall
pick
out
some
flawes
,
and
finde
out
some
nice
errors
in
my
estate
,
and
thereby
vnder
the
faire
shew
of
concealements
,
shall
make
me
a
bootie
?
Sentiat
hoc
,
moriar
,
mors
vltima
linea
rerum
.
My
life
is
a
pilgrimage
,
the
quicker
my
expedition
is
,
I
shall
sustaine
the
lesse
sorrow
.
Now
this
contempt
of
death
,
giues
the
true
Christian
man
such
an
excellent
spirit
,
such
a
braue
courage
and
resolution
,
Thus
I
haue
proportioned
the
seuerall
punishments
of
the
first
sinne
,
to
the
tenne
plagues
of
Egypt
:
I
haue
contracted
them
to
the
number
of
tenne
,
though
further
happily
I
could
haue
extended
them
;
were
it
not
that
I
desire
to
speake
al
things
,
according
to
some
rule
and
proportion
.
But
now
I
call
to
minde
,
the
last
punishment
in
Egypt
was
,
mors
primogeniti
,
thou
shalt
dye
the
death
:
if
you
tell
me
of
the
Hebrew
phrase
,
and
the
manner
of
their
speech
,
then
I
doe
much
more
magnifie
God
,
who
hath
so
ordained
the
tongues
and
languages
of
men
,
to
expresse
such
a
mysterie
.
If
you
please
to
consider
the
circumstances
and
●orerunners
of
the
last
and
generall
iudgement
,
they
cannot
but
greatly
astonish
man
:
Then
there
shall
be
signes
in
the
Sunne
,
and
in
the
Moone
,
and
in
the
Starres
,
and
vpon
the
earth
trouble
among
the
nations
with
perplexitie
,
the
Sea
and
the
waters
shall
roare
,
&c.
These
things
might
seeme
strange
and
terrible
to
the
carnall
man
,
but
here
is
the
least
part
of
his
terrour
;
for
when
hee
shall
see
the
wrath
of
God
hanging
ouer
his
head
,
hell
opened
beneath
him
,
damnation
before
him
,
his
persecuting
foes
behind
him
,
on
his
right
hand
the
whole
number
of
his
sinnes
accusing
him
,
on
the
left
hand
all
the
creatures
witnessing
against
him
,
within
him
nothing
but
feare
,
tormenting
himselfe
with
the
sting
of
his
owne
conscience
,
without
him
nothing
but
torture
,
and
the
crie
of
his
owne
sinnes
,
together
with
Gods
iustice
calling
for
vengeance
:
O
what
a
fearefull
thing
it
is
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
euer
liuing
God!
When
as
al
the
plagues
of
Egypt
,
which
certainly
were
strange
and
wonderfull
;
yet
by
the
confession
of
the
Egyptians
,
and
by
the
testimonie
of
Scripture
it selfe
,
were
onely
wrought
by
the
finger
of
God
,
digitus
dei
hic
est
:
alas
what
proportion
is
there
betweene
the
whole
hand
,
and
the
little
finger
.
But
shall
I
tell
you
how
to
to
auoide
the
hands
of
this
euerliuing
God
;
Wee
haue
not
an
high
Priest
which
cannot
be
touched
with
the
feeling
of
our
infirmities
,
but
was
in
all
things
tempted
in
like
sort
,
yet
without
sinne
:
let
vs
therfore
goe
boldly
vnto
the
throne
of
grace
,
that
we
may
receiue
mercie
,
and
finde
grace
to
helpe
vs
in
this
time
of
our
necessitie
.
Let
vs
call
to
minde
,
What
shall
I
doe
?
how
shall
I
escape
,
when
God
shall
come
vnto
iudgement
?
The
beloued
Disciple
,
though
otherwise
he
had
leaned
vpon
the
bosome
of
Christ
;
yet
seeing
Christ
comming
in
iudgement
,
he
fell
downe
vnder
his
feete
,
Apocal.

S.
Ierome
sets
vp
a
stage

and
makes
a
liuely
representation
of
this
iudgement

supposing
himselfe
alwaies
to
heare
the
noyse
of
the
trumpet
sounding
in
his
eares

Surgite

S.
Basill
lets
foorth
this
iudgement
,
in
place
of
a
schoole-master
to
teach
vs
our selues
,
and
our
owne
wretched
condition
.
S.
Chrysostome
makes
it
a
bridle
to
keepe
vs
from
sinne
,
within
the
lists
of
obedience
.
Cyprian
makes
it
a
remembrancer
of
sinne
,
for
our
repentance
▪
Vaepeccatis

,
cum
monti

sum
,
&c.
Woe
be
vnto
my
sinnes
,
when
I
shall
say
to
the
mountaines
,
couer
me
;
and
to
the
deepe
waters
,
hide
and
conceale
me
;
to
the
earth
,
swallow
and
ouerwhelme
me
,
that
I
may
find
some
refuge
in
the
day
of
Gods
wrath
.
Whither
shall
I
goe
from
Gods
presence
?
if
I
flie
vp
to
heauen
,
hee
is
there
;
if
I
goe
downe
into
hell
,
he
is
there
also
;
if
I
take
vp
the
wings
of
a
Doue
,
and
flie
to
the
vttermost
parts
of
the
earth
,
euen
there
also
shall
his
power
follow
me
,
and
his
iustice
pursue
mee
:
whither
shall
I
flie
from
Gods
presence
?
I
will
flie
from
God
to
God
,
from
the
tribunall
of
his
iustice
,
to
the
seate
of
his
mercie
;
here
is
my
appeale
,
Call
to
remembrance
,
O
Lord
,
thy
tender
mercie
and
thy
louing
kindnesse
,
which
haue
been
euer
of
old
:
O
remember
not
the
sinnes
and
offences
of
my
youth
,
but
according
to
thy
mercie
,
thinke
thou
vpon
me
,
O
Lord
,
for
thy
goodnesse
.
Thus
much
for
the
expectation
:
but
I
dare
not
proceede
to
the
tortures
and
torments
of
hell
;
S.
Austine
excuseth
himselfe
,
in
speaking
of
that
subiect
,
and
for
my selfe
,
I
am
afraid
to
thinke
of
them
:
and
therefore
I
pray'
beare
with
me
,
if
I
follow
S.
Austins
example
,
I
had
rather
sound
foorth
the
trumpets
of
Gods
mercie
,
then
poure
downe
the
viols
of
his
wrath
:
God
preuent
that
in
mercie
,
which
otherwise
in
iustice
he
might
and
should
inflict
vpon
vs
.
If
I
should
enter
into
this
subiect

I
know
not

the

,
quorum

of

I
am
the

and
the

But
here
is
my
comfort
,
the
merits
of
Christ
,
the
ransome
and
price
of
my
redemption
is
infinit
;
the
remission
and
forgiuenesse
of
sins
.
Yet
conceiue
me
aright
,
for
some
there
are
who
laying
hould
to
soone
on
Gods
mercy
,
as
it
were
snatching
at
his
mercy
,
do
indeed
loose
the
fruits
of
his
mercy
;
when
(
laying
the
whole
burthen
of
their
sins
vpon
Christ
,
as
it
were
making
long
and
deepe
furrowes
in
his
backe
)
themselues
continuing
in
their
owne
sinnes
,
in
the
impenitency
and
hardnesse
of
their
owne
hearts
,
do
indeed
dreame
of
saluation
.
My
sinnes
are
innumerable
,
yet
before
I
was
borne
,
before
they
could
be
committed
,
God
did
foresee
them
;
notwithstanding
his
foresight
,
ipse
praesens
facit
se
quaeri
,
I
had
thought
I
had
lost
him
,
but
behold
he
is
present
,
and
inuites
me
to
a
banquet
,
where
he
himselfe
is
the
feast
,
conui●a
&
conuinium
;
Lord
I
am
not
worthy
with
the
dogs
,
to
licke
vp
the
crummes
vnder
thy
table
;
yet
giue
me
O
Lord
that
property
of
dogs
,
that
licking
mine
owne
woundes
,
I
might
heale
mine
owne
sores
,
that
my
tongue
may
serue
to
cleanse
my
vncleannes
;
confessing
my
sinnes
,
I
may
disgorge
and
cast
out
my
sins
,
where
they
shall
lie
as
a
heauie
burthen
vpon
thy
sonne
,
for
he
hath
taken
vp
my
sinnes
,
and
borne
mine
iniquities
;
my
sinnes
are
no
longer
mine
,
Mea
sunt
per
perpetrationem
,
Christ●
sunt
,
quoad
obligationem
satisfactionis
:
indeed
I
committed
them
,
and
so
they
are
mine
,
but
Christ
alone
hath
entred
into
bands
for
the
discharge
of
them
;
he
hath
canceld
the
hand
writing
of
the
lawe
,
he
hath
satisfied
the
rigour
of
thy
iustice
,
by
the
shedding
of
his
bloud
,
by
his
death
and
passion
;
and
therefore
O
Lord
,
thou
wilt
not
demand
a
second
payment
of
vs
;
he
hath
imputed
his
righteousnesse
to
vs
,
and
thus
euery
true
penitent
,
stands
rectus
in
curia
,
acquitted
in
thy
consist●ry
.
Giue
me
leaue
to
compare
my selfe
,
that
am
the
meanest
of
all
men
,
to
Alexander
the
great
;
and
this
my
present
treatise
,
For
proofe
and
demonstration
wherof
,
I
must
ascend
from
the
indiuiduals
and
singulars
,
to
the
species
and
kindes
of
the
creatures
;
and
among
all
other
kindes
,
This
truth
seemes
to
relie
vpon
these
three
foundations
:
1.
Man
(
as
all
other
creatures
)
being
immediatlie
created
by
God
,
First
for
the
apparell
of
the
Ancients
,
if
you
please
to
obserue
the
fashion
of
their
garments
,
you
shall
finde
them
to
be
such
,
From
the
apparell
let
vs
come
to
the
foode
,
now
it
should
seeme
is
the
ould
age
of
the
world
,
which
appeares
by
the
pampering
of
our selues
;
for
take
our
ordinary
foode
,
it
was
neuer
heretofore
so
delicat
,
so
daintie
,
so
tender
,
The
clothing
and
foode
doe
much
betoken
the
soundnesse
and
constitution
of
our
bodies
,
yet
I
cannot
content
my selfe
with
them
,
but
I
will
descend
to
speake
more
immediately
of
our
bodies
:
Very
credible
it
is
,
that
their
grear
labours
and
actions
were
more
performed
by
their
own
only
strength
,
To
shew
the
change
of
mens
mindes
,
let
vs
change
our
profession
,
à
togis
ad
arma
,
from
the
penne
to
the
speare
,
from
the
barre
to
the
campe
:
Where
is
that
ancient
resolution
of
the
Romanes
,
who
desired
nothing
more
,
Let
not
this
change
of
our
mindes
seeme
strange
vnto
you
;
for
see
you
not
,
how
the
little
chickens
stand
fearefull
of
the
Kite
,
whereas
the
valiant
Cocke
desires
nothing
more
then
the
combat
?
In
young
men
and
old
men
you
shall
not
finde
a
like
inclination
:
and
men
of
diuers
nations
you
shal
finde
them
seuered
,
as
in
their
climates
,
so
in
their
dispositions
.
Suppose
a
change
should
appeare
in
the
naturall
inclination
of
man
;
it
is
no
more
then
you
may
discene
in
other
creatures
:
hereafter
as
man
shall
finde
out
new
snares
to
intrap
them
,
From
the
change
in
our
mindes
,
let
vs
come
to
the
change
in
the
soundnesse
and
constitution
of
our
bodies
:
Considering
their
strength
in
former
times
,
For
the
difference
of
diseases
;
the
Ancients
were
more
inclined
to
hot
diseases
,
such
as
proceede
from
the
strength
of
nature
,
and
doe
accompanie
youth
,
then
we
are
;
as
plagues
,
sweating-sicknesses
,
plurisies
,
and
all
other
infectious
diseases
arising
from
heate
,
wherein
the
blood
is
inflamed
:
so
likewise
the
inclination
of
men
to
their
lusts
,
arising
from
the
constitution
of
their
bodies
,
was
then
much
greater
then
now
,
(
though
I
doe
easily
yeeld
,
that
the
wantonnesse
of
these
daies
farre
exceeds
theirs
)
,
From
the
diseases
and
infirmities
arising
out
of
the
naturall
constitution
of
our
bodies
,
let
vs
come
to
the
cure
:
From
the
diseases
I
will
come
to
the
death
of
both
,
if
you
please
to
giue
me
first
leaue
to
speake
a
word
or
two
,
concerning
the
inward
gifts
of
our
mindes
;
But
this
great
learned
age
hath
found
out
a
comparison
,
wherin
we
might
seeme
to
magnifie
the
Ancients
,
but
indeed
very
cunningly
do
presse
them
downe
,
I
am
the
more
strict
to
iustifie
the
wits
and
learning
of
the
ancient
Fathers
,
because
(
I
suppose
)
it
maks
much
for
the
certaintie
and
dignitie
of
Christian
religion
;
In
the
last
place
,
I
will
speake
of
the
life
,
and
of
the
death
,
both
of
our selues
and
of
the
Ancients
:
As
man
comes
not
to
that
strength
and
growth
,
which
heretofore
he
did
;
From
man
I
will
come
to
the
elements
,
and
I
will
insist
in
the
neerest
elements
(
the
generatiue
elements
)
,
the
water
and
earth
;
for
this
change
and
alteration
appeares
not
in
man
alone
,
but
the
very
elements
themselues
are
much
decaied
in
their
wonted
perfection
:
fo●●our
seas
are
growne
fruitlesse
and
barraine
,
William
Camden
,
now
Clarenceux
,
the
famous
&
most
renowned
Antiquarie
of
our
age
,
hath
truly
&
wisely
obserued
in
his
Chronicle
,
in
the
time
of
our
seruice
in
their
warres
(
in
the
Low-countries
,
our
Englishmen
,
which
of
all
other
Northerne
people
,
were
euer
held
the
most
temperate
)
,
we
haue
gotten
such
an
habit
and
custome
of
drunkennesse
,
that
no
other
nation
at
this
day
seemes
to
be
more
tainted
with
that
vice
,
then
our selues
.
And
thus
their
vnthankfulnesse
,
together
with
those
ill
customes
,
which
we
haue
borrowed
from
them
,
seeme
to
be
the
rewards
of
our
seruice
.
From
the
seas
,
I
will
come
to
the
land
:
The
earth
is
growne
barraine
and
fruitlesse
in
her
owne
kinde
;
I
speake
not
onely
of
that
earth
,
which
hath
long
tasted
the
plow-share
and
harrow
,
To
draw
neerer
home
,
for
this
kingdome
wherein
we
liue
;
it
is
not
only
the
complaint
of
all
old
men
,
and
our
own
experience
,
but
likewise
many
reasons
drawne
from
husbandrie
,
Secondly
,
it
is
very
credibly
reported
,
that
in
this
our
Northerne
climate
we
haue
had
heretofore
a
vintage
in
Wostershire
;
and
it
appeares
vpon
record
,
that
tith
hath
bin
paid
for
wine
pressed
out
of
grapes
,
growing
in
the
little
Parke
at
Winsor
,
It
may
be
obiected
against
me
,
that
if
nature
did
thus
decline
,
yet
still
the
fruits
should
continue
the
same
,
though
not
the
same
in
their
strength
and
their
power
;
for
wine
here
in
England
,
if
euer
we
had
,
then
still
wee
should
haue
,
though
more
imperfect
and
weake
;
but
Philosophy
is
well
able
to
answere
this
obiection
,
datur
in
rebus
maximum
&
minimum
:
nature
hath
appointed
certaine
limits
and
bounds
to
euery
kinde
of
the
creatures
,
beyond
which
,
or
beneath
which
,
the
creature
cannot
subsist
.
Now
in
the
generall
declining
,
far
bee
it
,
that
she
should
appoint
new
boundes
to
the
vndeterminated
essence
of
the
creatures
;
That
a
generall
scarcitie
and
penury
may
appeare
,
consider
the
prices
of
things
,
how
excessiue
they
are
in
these
our
latter
dayes
,
and
how
they
are
raised
aboue
measure
beyond
all
expectation
:
heretofore
(
I
confesse
)
they
haue
had
as
great
famins
as
we
haue
,
For
the
number
of
men
,
wee
are
not
able
to
send
forth
such
huge
armies
,
as
we
read
of
in
former
times
;
we
dare
not
vndertake
such
taskes
,
Now
for
the
plenty
of
our
coyne
,
because
we
haue
it
not
from
our selues
,
I
will
therefore
first
speake
of
the
fountaines
before
I
come
to
the
streames
,
that
so
according
to
the
ouerflowing
of
the
one
,
you
may
iudge
of
the
other
.
If
the
West
Indies
haue
now
at
length
bin
discouered
,
the
Easterne
haue
failed
;
otherwise
our
Marchants
should
neuer
be
so
much
inforced
,
Eupolenus
,
Polyhistor
,
and
Hecateus
Abderita
,
that
liued
and
serued
in
warre
with
King
Alexander
the
Great
,
make
mention
(
amongst
other
things
)
of
the
inestimable
riches
of
Salomon
,
and
of
the
treasures
which
he
did
hide
and
bury
(
according
to
the
fashion
of
that
time
)
in
the
Sepulchre
of
his
father
Dauid
:
which
to
be
no
fable
,
(
though
not
mentioned
by
the
Scripture
)
Iosephus
well
proueth
,
for
that
Hircanus
the
high
Priest
,
and
King
of
Iurie
,
being
besieged
in
Ierusalem
by
Antiochus
,
surnamed
Pius
,
not
many
yeeres
before
Christs
natiuitie
,
to
redeeme
himselfe
and
the
Citie
,
and
to
pay
for
his
peace
,
opened
the
said
Sepulchre
of
Dauid
,
and
fetcht
out
of
one
part
thereof
,
three
thousand
talents
in
ready
money
,
which
amount
to
600000.
pounds
English
,
if
we
account
the
talents
but
at
the
least
size
of
talentum
Haebraicum
.
But
let
vs
draw
to
our selues
,
and
come
to
this
climate
wherin
we
liue
,
and
compare
our
wealth
in
coyne
with
our
ancestors
:
first
therefore
I
must
acquaint
you
,
that
our
coyne
is
much
fallen
,
Now
at
this
time
I
feare
there
is
more
siluer
and
gold
wastfully
spent
and
transported
,
then
is
yeerely
brought
into
this
land
,
notwithstanding
the
prices
of
things
doe
daily
arise
,
though
not
in
such
an
excessiue
manner
,
as
formerly
they
haue
done
.
As
for
some
base
coynes
which
they
had
in
ancient
times
,
I
may
well
doubt
,
whether
it
stood
not
with
the
wisedome
and
policie
of
the
State
to
admit
them
,
seeing
the
richest
nations
doe
the
like
at
this
day
.
To
speake
with
more
certaintie
of
things
,
which
appeare
vpon
record
;
he
that
shall
peruse
our
Law-books
,
shall
finde
,
that
three
hundred
yeeres
agoe
and
aboue
,
before
the
warres
began
betweene
the
two
Houses
,
William
Wickam
recouered
of
his
predecessor
Bishop
Edendon
of
Winchester
,
in
the
yere
1366
,
for
dilapidations
of
his
house
,
1662.
pounds
,
tenne
shillings
:
and
lest
you
might
conceiue
that
such
a
large
summe
of
money
might
bee
allowed
for
some
other
losse
and
detriment

,
hee

,

Lambes
,
and

Swine
;
all
which
stocke
belonged
to
the
Bishopricke
.
Because
wee
cannot
take
a
perfect
suruey
of
the
buildings
,
how
they
were
left
;
and
generally
because
all
trespasses
are
very
vncertaine
,
whereof
wee
cannot
take
due
notice
;
let
vs
therefore
come
to
the
fines
,
which
certainly
were
very
large
in
those
daies
:
In
the
time
of
Henry
the
6
,
the
Duke
of
Holland
(
being
then
high
Admirall
)
was
fined
at
tenne
thousand
pounds
,
for
holding
plea
in
a
cause
determinable
at
the
Common
law
;
it
was
very
much
for
such
an
offence
,
if
you
please
to
haue
relation
to
the
rates
of
coyne
,
which
before
I
haue
prefixed
.
Not
to
speake
of
the
ransomes
of
Princes
,
which
were
very
great
in
former
times
;
not
to
speake
of
any
particular
mans
wealth
,
though
I
could
name
many
;
for
Thomas
Ruthall
,
whose
meanes
of
getting
were
not
ouer
great
,
neither
could
he
iustly
be
taxed
with
greedinesse
or
sparing
,
Henry
Bowet
,
Archbishop
of
Yorke
in
the
time
of
Henry
the
5
,
spent
in
his
house
yeerely
of
Claret
wine
onely
,
foure
score
tunnes
:
this
might
seeme
incredible
,
were
it
not
that
it
appeares
by
such
euidence
,
as
cannot
bee
denied
.
Now
let
vs
examine
the
price
of
this
wine
:
I
finde
among
the
slatutes
of
Edw.
the
2.
(
which
was
long
before
that
time
)
,
that
Vintners
were
appointed
to
sell
their
wine
at
twelue
pence
the
gallon
,
and
not
aboue
;
we
cannot
reade
,
nor
cannot
conceiue
that
since
that
time
wine
should
fall
in
the
price
,
To
speake
of
our
owne
countrie
prouision
,
assuredly
the
prices
of
things
doe
not
hold
proportion
,
and
correspondencie
to
the
weight
and
valuation
of
coynes
;
as
may
appeare
by
that
most
excellent
statute
of
rent-corne
,
made
in
the
behalfe
of
our
Vniuersities
,
which
hath
proued
so
beneficiall
to
Colledges
.
And
if
you
please
to
consider
the
almes-deedes
,
Richard
de
Burie
,
sometimes
Bishop
of
Durrham
in
the
yeere
1333
,
bestowed
weekly
,
for
the
reliefe
of
the
poore
,
eight
quarters
of
wheate
,
made
into
bread
,
besides
the
fragments
of
his
house
,
the
offals
of
his
slaughter-house
,
and
yeerely
much
clothing
:
In
his
iourney
betweene
New
Castle
and
Durrham
,
he
gaue
alwaies
by
his
own
appointed
order
,
eight
pounds
in
almes
;
from
Durrham
to
Stocton
,
fiue
pounds
;
from
Durrham
to
Aukland
,
fiue
marks
;
from
Durrham
to
Middleham
,
fiue
pounds
.
They
that
succeeded
these
old
Bishops
in
their
wealth
and
abundance
,
I
hope
will
excuse
our
new
and
now
Bishops
,
if
they
be
not
so
plentifull
in
their
almes
,
when
as
indeed
they
seeme
to
succede
them
only
in
the
Cure
,
the
Pastorall
charge
,
and
imposition
of
hands
.
To
conclude
,
these
excessiue
prices
of
things
do
well
argue
a
great
scarcitie
,
that
euerie
man
should
sell
his
commodities
according
to
such
reasonable
rate
,
as
he
himselfe
could
affoord
them
;
but
now
our
conscience
is
inlarged
,
and
therefore
wee
must
inlarge
our
price
,
supposing
that
it
is
lawfull
for
euery
man
to
make
the
most
of
his
owne
,
and
to
sell
his
owne
wares
to
the
greatest

and
thus
things
are
inhaunced
to
the
great
preiudice
of
many
Lords
,
who
cannot

their
quit-rents
;
and
to

since

proceedes
from
the
influence

in

I
dare
accuse
the
materiall
heauens
,
as
being
guiltie
,
conspiring
,
and
together
ioyntly
tending
to
corruption
;
Scripture

Reason
and
all
humane
learning
shall
backe
me
,
for
certaine
it
is
,
that
the
Sunne
hath
descended
much
lower
by
many
degrees
,
then
he
was
in
the
time
of
King
Ptolemie
;
the
same
Mathematicall
instruments
,
which
agree
together
in
all
other
dimensions
,
doe
vndoubtedly
proue
the
diuersitie
;
by
vertue
of
perspectiue
glasses
,
we
haue
lately
discerned
spots
and
shadowes
in
the
Moone
;
and
within
our
memorie
,
in
the
yeere
1572.
a
true
Comet
did
appeare
in
the
eighth
Heauen
,
which
as
it
had
a
time
of
beginning
,
so
had
it
a
period
,
and
time
of
dissoluing
.
And
thus
being
mortall
of
our selues
,
wee
dwell
in
houses
of
clay
,
the
roofe
of
this
world
,
as
well
as
the
foundations
shall
together
be
mooued
;
for
wherefore
serues
the
diuersitie
of
seasons
,
the
day
and
the
night
succeeding
each
other
,
Summer
and
Winter
,
the
rising
and
setting
of
Starres
,
the
different
and
contrarie
motions
,
the
various
aspects
and
oppositions
?
but
that
in
some
sort
they
partake
of
our
nature
,
and
shall
haue
their
part
and
portion
with
ours
.
For
proofe
of
this
truth
,
let
vs
compare
times
with
times
,
and
so
it
shall
better
appeare
;
the
hot
Zones
heretofore
adiudged
by
all
the
Ancients
to
be
vnhabitable
,
If
the
Ancients
were
strangers
abroade
,
and
might
easilie
mistake
,
yet
in
their
owne
dwellings
and
habitations
,
their
sense
for
want
of
reason
would
serue
to
informe
them
;
solstitium
brumale
,
when
the
dayes
were
the
shortest
,
and
then
began
to
increase
;
as
Iohn
Baptist
was
borne
at
Midsommer
,
when
the
dayes
were
at
the
longest
,
and
then
began
to
shorten
;
to
be
a
figure
(
as
Saint
Ambrose
obserueth
)
that
Christ
should
increase
,
as
Iohn
Baptist
decreased
;
but
now
in
these
times
,
our
dayes
are
increased
a
full
houre
in
length
,
before
the
Natiuitie
.
If
still
thou
proouest
wilfull
,
and
wilt
not
beleeue
the
Ancients
,
but
talkest
onely
of
thine
owne
experience
and
particular
knowledge
;
it
were
to
bee
wished
,
that
thou
shouldest
trie
all
conclusions
in
Physicke
vpon
thine
owne
bodie
,
that
so
thou
mightest
see
onely
with
thine
owne
eyes
,
and
take
nothing
by
relation
from
others
:
if
thou
iudgest
of
times
past
by
thine
owne
little
experience
,
thou
canst
not
truely
iudge
of
the
workes
of
nature
,
Now
that
I
am
falne
to
the
generall
dissolution
of
this
world
,
which
shall
bee
performed
by
the
rage
and
violence
of
fire
,
according
to
the
receiued
tradition
of
the
Ancients
;
whereunto
Scripture
agrees
,
and
according
to
the
opinion
of
the
best
learned
Philosophers
,
who
ascribe
the
greatest
actiuitie
to
fire
:
and
were
it
not
for
the
situation
,
as
being
aboue
the
rest
of
the
elements
,
and
for
that
naturall
inclination
which
it
hath
in
it selfe
(
arising
out
of
an
inbred
pride
,
as
knowing
his
excellencie
aboue
the
rest
)
,
that
being
once
out
of
his
owne
proper
place
,
it
will
not
thus
be
supprest
,
but
will
ascend
with
the
greatest
swiftnesse
,
and
expedition
,
carrying
the
forme
of
a
pyramise
,
for
the
more
easie
penetration
;
assuredly
all
the
rest
of
the
elements
together
conspiring
,
congregare
homegenea
&
segregare
heterogenea
,
and
therein
doth
figure
out
the
last
and
finall
iudgement
,
wherein
a
separation
shall
be
made
of
the
Goates
from
the
Lambes
,
of
the
corne
from
the
chaffe
,
of
the
iust
from
the
reprobate
:
I
cannot
nor
dare
not
prescribe
the
day
and
houre
of
that
iudgement
,
rather
with
patience
I
will
waite
on
Gods
leisure
,
&
with
my
assured
hope
,
will
expect
to
see
my
Redeemer
in
his
flesh
,
and
in
my
flesh
,
so
descending
as
he
ascended
;
for
herein
we
haue
the
testimonie
of
Angels
,
This
Iesus
which
is
taken
vp
from
you
into
Heauen
,
shall
so
come
,
as
you
haue
seene
him
goe
into
Heauen
,
First
,
looking
to
the
generall
decay
of
this
world
,
which
argues
the
approach
of
this
iudgement
:
secondly
,
to
the
great
preparation
for
f●●e
,
which
must
then
serue
for
the
execution
of
Gods
wrath
:
thirdly
,
the
fit
occasions
seeming
to
hasten
this
iudgement
,
&c.
Most
certaine
it
is
,
that
if
the
world
should
continue
many
thousand
yeeres
,
and
that
wee
should
suppose
that
nature
would
decay
in
such
sort
,
as
we
are
able
to
proue
by
demonstratiue
euidence
,
already
she
hath
done
;
assuredly
nature
of
her selfe
,
thorough
her
owne
weakenesse
would
come
to
nothing
;
and
the
world
should
not
bee
able
to
supplie
mens
necessities
.
Suppose
this
one
kingdome
,
besides
the
generall
barrennesse
which
hath
befalne
vs
,
whereof
wee
may
iustly
complaine
;
if
we
should
commit
the
like
waste
in
our
woods
,
as
formerly
wee
haue
done
,
in
this
last
forepassed
age
;
assuredly
we
should
bee
left
so
destitute
of
fuell
,
of
houses
,
of
shipping
,
that
within
a
short
time
,
our
land
would
proue
almost
inhabitable
,
for
such
things
as
require
a
great
growth
,
wherein
man
cannot
see
the
present
fruites
of
his
prouidence
;
husbandrie
and
labour
,
for
the
most
part
,
they
are
alwaies
neglected
,
and
it
lies
not
in
the
power
of
one
age
to
recouer
her selfe
:
thus
out
of
the
decay
of
nature
we
may
almost
expect
a
dissolution
,
as
by
the
signes
and
symptomes
we
iudge
of
a
dangerous
and
desperate
disease
.
Thus
you
may
obserue
almost
a
like
distance
,
from
the
creation
to
the
deluge
,
from
the
deluge
to
Christ
,
Secondly
,
fire
shall
bee
the
second
ouerthrowe
,
this
Scripture
and
reason
confirmes
;
now
certaine
it
is
,
that
God
who
hath
first
instituted
nature
,
hath
so
ordained
her
,
Thirdly
,
the
dissolution
of
this
world
betokens
a
generall
punishment
,
the
iudgement
accompaning
hath
reference
to
our
transgressions
:
that
the
sonne
of
man
will
come
at
an
houre
,
when
hee
is
not
expected
,
Luk.
12.
vers.
40.
Now
is
that
time
when
we
doe
not
expect
him
,
we
neuer
thinke
of
iudgement
,
of
hell
,
of
fire
,
of
damnation
;
Religion
hath
taken
vp
wings
,
and
is
returned
to
heauen
,
from
whence
she
descended
:
Men
are
now
growne
carelesse
in
their
profession
,
and
liue
after
a
sensuall
manner
like
beasts
;
we
are
now
growne
to
the
height
and
top
of
all
sinne
;
our
sinnes
,
our
crying
sinnes
now
crie
for
vengeance
;
and
therefore
the
time
of
his
comming
cannot
be
farre
absent
,
hee
will
take
the
best
opportunitie
,
like
a
theefe
in
the
night
;
we
may
then
expect
him
,
when
wee
doe
least
expect
him
.
But
I
will
leaue
this
,
as
being
not
so
pertinent
to
my
purpose
,
and
grounded
onely
vpon
coniectures
,
&c.
Now
I
haue
brought
man
to
his
graue
,
and
together
with
man
the
whole
fabricke
of
nature
,
you
would
thinke
,
that
at
length
I
should
discharge
him
:
I
haue
buried
him
deep
enough
(
I
confesse
)
,
I
confesse
indeede
,
that
the
ancient
Philosophers
haue
not
mentioned
the
fall
of
man
,
for
they
did
onely
looke
to
the
present
course
and
order
of
nature
;
as
,
liuing
in
the
middest
of
Egypt
,
they
considered
Nilus
,
the
depth
of
the
waters
,
the
violence
of
the
streame
,
the
ebbings
and
flowings
,
but
they
regarded
not
the
passage
into
the
sea
,
nor
yet
could
trace
the
head
of
the
fountaine
:
they
might
consider
man
,
though
not
in
the
wombe
,
Suppose
man
to
bee
borne
in
a
prison
,
where
hee
should
neuer
receiue
the
sweete
light
of
the
Sunne
,
or
the
free
libertie
of
himselfe
,
but
liued
in
continuall
darknesse
and
slauerie
;
could
this
man
possibly
conceiue
the
happie
state
and
condition
of
those
,
who
liue
at
their
freedome
?
No
certainly
,
for
priuations
are
only
knowne
in
relation
to
their
habits
.
The
Philosophers
were
not
vnlike
the
dwellers
of
Sodome
,
whose
darknesse
was
such
,
that
being
abroad
in
the
streetes
,
they
could
not
finde
their
owne
houses
:
The
Platonikes
,
who
were
the
more
ancient
Philosophers
,
and
borrowed
certaine
mysteries
from
the
Hebrewes
,
which
they
kept
sacred
and
secret
to
themselues
;
though
otherwise
they
knew
neither
sense
nor
meaning
of
those
mysteries
,
held
these
three
positions
inuiolably
,
all
which
doe
necessarily
inforce
the
fall
of
man
.
First
,
that
there
were
,
Id●●ae
,
abstracted
and
separated
formes
,
Let
vs
make
man
according
to
our
owne
image
.
Now
supposing
man
to
bee
made
according
to
Gods
image
,
according
to
such
a
separated
Idea
,
hee
should
be
wholly
spirituall
,
incorruptible
,
conformable
to
God
.
But
considering
man
to
be
carnall
,
sensuall
,
an
enemie
and
stranger
to
God
,
following
the
inclination
of
his
flesh
,
and
wholly
tending
to
corruption
;
assuredly
he
is
fallen
,
and
much
degenerated
from
that
high
state
and
dignitie
,
wherein
hee
was
first
created
from
the
beginning
.
After
the
framing
and
constitution
of
man
,
the
Platonikes
did
consider
in
the
next
place
,
the
transmigration
of
soules
from
bodies
to
bodies
,
&
inspirauit
deus
spiraculum
vitae
:
and
this
opinion
doth
necessarily
presuppose
,
&
is
grounded
vpon
mans
fall
;
that
seeing
there
is
no
proportion
,
or
agreement
between
the
flesh
&
the
spirit
,
(
as
the
case
now
stands
)
,
therfore
there
was
a
bodie
in
the
state
of
innocencie
,
more
capable
of
this
reasonable
soule
;
the
body
changing
,
the
soule
did
likewise
change
her
habitation
and
dwelling
;
one
and
the
same
body
being
altered
,
one
and
the
same
soule
did
find
her
place
of
abode
to
be
altered
,
here
was
a
transmigration
;
and
at
the
last
day
,
when
this
body
sowen
in
corruption
,
shall
rise
againe
in
incorruption
,
&
be
made
a
spirituall
body
,
better
befitting
the
dignitie
&
state
of
the
soule
,
here
shall
be
a
new
transmigration
,
still
of
one
and
the
selfe
same
soule
;
and
therefore
acknowledge
the
present
condition
of
man
to
bee
the
fall
of
man
,
some
punishment
or
imprisonment
of
man
,
that
the
soule
should
be
inforced
to
take
her
flight
,
to
vse
a
transmigration
,
and
to
change
the
place
of
her
dwelling
.
Now
for
the
principall
action
of
the
soule
,
it
is
our
knowledge
or
vnderstanding
:
The
Platonikes
held
,
that
cognitio
nostra
est
reminiscentia
,
From
the
Platonikes
,
I
will
come
to
the
Schooles
of
the
famous
and
thrice
renowned
Aristotle
,
and
heere
I
doe
ingeniously
,
and
truly
confesse
,
malum
,
malitia
,
defectus
,
deformitas
,
monstrum
,
and
the
like
,
and
these
to
be
incident
to
nature
her self
;
and
these
to
be
knowne
onely
in
relation
to
the
goodnesse
,
according
to
the
distance
or
accesse
,
hauing
no
entitie
in
themselues
,
and
therefore
not
able
to
bee
the
grounds
of
our
knowledge
,
which
presupposeth
a
naturall
being
:
Rom.
7.
7.
I
had
not
knowne
sinne
,
but
by
the
law
.
These
euils
(
I
say
)
being
no
transcendentia
,
they
could
not
be
so
generall
,
or
equal
in
time
to
nature
,
and
therefore
they
are
the
punishments
of
nature
,
and
haue
crept
into
nature
,
since
the
first
institution
thereof
.
From
the
Metaphysicks
I
will
come
to
naturall
Philosophie
,
where
I
will
onely
in
a
word
touch
the
first
principles
.
I
would
gladly
demand
,
why
priuatio
should
be
numbred
as
one
of
the
three
first
principles
of
nature
?
for
priuation
hath
reference
to
the
act
,
and
first
presupposeth
the
act
;
when
a
thing
is
capable
to
be
,
and
ought
to
be
,
but
is
not
.
Therefore
priuation
being
numbred
among
the
principles
,
supposeth
that
all
things
should
haue
been
,
and
should
haue
much
sooner
attained
the
height
of
their
perfection
,
and
not
so
leisurely
haue
proceeded
by
degrees
,
as
now
they
do
;
were
it
not
that
some
curse
had
altered
the
course
of
nature
,
whereby
that
,
which
formerly
was
onely
a
bare
negation
,
should
now
be
conceiued
to
be
a
naturall
priuation
.
From
the
huge
Continent
of
nature
,
let
vs
draw
neerer
home
,
and
discouer
the
vnknowne
region
of
the
reasonable
soule
:
alas
how
few
sparkes
of
reason
doe
appeare
in
this
reasonable
soule
?
The
Philosophers
thinke
it
to
be
a
table-booke
,
wherein
nothing
is
written
;
and
looking
more
narrowly
,
they
finde
indeede
some
blinde
characters
,
certaine
obscure
,
darke
,
hidden
,
secret
notions
,
which
are
the
principles
of
al
our
knowledge
:
As
for
example
,
Contradictoria
non
possunt
esse
simul
vera
:
Omne
totum
est
mains
sua
parte
,
and
such
like
palpable
verities
,
which
in
my
iudgement
seeme
rather
to
belong
to
the
cognizance
of
common
sense
,
then
of
the
reasonable
soule
.
And
hence
it
is
,
that
there
is
much
more
difficultie
in
adorning
the
inward
minde
,
and
couering
the
nakednesse
of
the
soule
,
then
in
the
outward
members
,
and
shame
of
the
body
.
Thus
at
length
all
Arts
and
Sciences
in
generall
,
We
haue
no
naturall
voyce
,
no
naturall
tongue
,
wee
cannot
speake
to
the
vnderstanding
of
each
other
,
but
Grammar
must
direct
vs
and
teach
vs
construction
;
And
whereas
God
hath
giuen
all
things
,
for
our
vse
and
seruice
,
certainly
it
stood
with
the
same
wisedome
and
goodnesse
of
God
,
to
discouer
and
lay
open
the
vse
:
But
if
wee
shut
our
eyes
,
not
looking
to
other
creatures
,
but
returning
to
our selues
,
wee
shall
finde
farre
greater
cause
to
complaine
&
lament
;
the
soule
,
though
otherwise
an
vnderstanding
nature
,
yet
she
knowes
not
her selfe
,
but
by
reflection
;
she
knowes
not
her
owne
beginning
,
nor
her
faculties
and
actions
,
nor
the
extent
and
bounds
of
her
essence
.
Blessed
God
,
were
it
not
sufficient
,
that
all
other
creatures
should
bee
vnknowne
,
but
that
the
soule
must
bee
couered
,
and
concealed
from
her selfe
?
Herein
appeares
an
admirable
guile
and
subtiltie
,
which
well
argues
the
high
wisedome
and
iustice
of
God
:
for
as
the
first
sinne
was
the
immoderate
and
presumptuous
desire
of
knowledge
,
eritis
sicut
dij
scientes
bonum
&
malum
;
so
God
in
reuenge
of
this
sinne
,
contraria
curans
contrarijs
,
punisheth
man
with
the
heauie
yoake
of
ignorance
,
Giue
me
yet
leaue
to
insist
in
one
thing
;
Nature
hath
made
man
aboue
all
other
creatures
,
the
most
sociable
,
(
as
appeares
)
in
that
man
cannot
subsist
without
a
common-wealth
,
without
lawes
,
without
gouernment
,
and
the
like
;
and
yet
in
this
one
poynt
of
association
,
you
shall
finde
man
,
aboue
all
other
creatures
the
most
vntractable
:
hence
it
is
,
that
hee
must
frame
and
square
out
his
life
by
art
,
the
fall
and
corruption
of
man
;
that
notwithstanding
his
birth-right
,
the
dignitie
of
his
nature
,
the
high
prerogatiue
of
his
state
;
yet
in
most
of
his
actions
,
you
shall
finde
him
much
defectiue
,
farre
inferior
to
the
condition
of
all
other
creatures
,
cleane
contrarie
to
the
common
course
and
current
of
nature
,
and
therefore
you
cannot
conceiue
,
but
that
his
corruption
hath
crept
into
nature
since
the
first
institution
thereof
.
Not
onely
the
occasion
and
first
grounds
of
all
sciences
and
arts
doe
testifie
mans
fall
,
but
likewise
many
particular
opinions
doe
poynt
out
this
truth
(
whereof
I
will
forbeare
to
speake
)
;
assuredly
they
had
an
implicite
knowledge
concealed
as
a
misterie
,
From
the
theorie
of
Philosophie
,
let
vs
come
to
the
practicall
part
;
it
is
not
vnknowne
to
the
Chimicks
in
their
distillations
(
whose
office
it
is
,
secornere
purum
ab
impuro
,
validum
ab
inualid●
,
Thus
by
the
Chimicall
operations
it
appeares
,
that
the
euill
and
poyson
of
creatures
hath
polluted
nature
,
since
the
first
institution
thereof
;
now
if
you
please
to
compare
these
good
and
euill
qualities
together
,
As
the
Philosophers
afforded
some
proofes
of
this
fall
,
deriued
from
the
reasonable
soule
,
her
faculties
,
and
all
the
workes
of
nature
;
Certaine
it
is
that
they
deriued
their
linage
from
the
Gods
,
and
they
generally
held
that
the
soule
was
diuinae
particulaaurae
;
and
yet
immediatly
they
forbeare
not
to
speake
of
the
warres
,
which
past
betweene
the
gods
and
the
gyants
,
which
well
argues
the
opposition
and
defiance
betweene
the
heauen
and
the
earth
;
as
likewise
of
the
strange
opposition
betweene
the
flesh
and
the
spirit
,
wherein
the
flesh
seemes
to
conquer
and
vanquish
,
(
hauing
the
stronger
faction
,
and
being
more
powerfull
ouer
the
will
&
inclination
of
man
)
,
—
video
meliora
,
proboque
,
deteriora
sequor
.
And
generally
for
the
whole
state
of
man
,
it
was
the
common
complaint
of
those
times
,
that
the
world
did
daily
degenerate
,
Aetas
parentum
peior
auis
,
tulit
nos
nequiores
mox
daturos
progeniem
vitiosiorem
:
when
the
Poets
so
often
mention
the
golden
age
,
quorum
nascuntur
in
hortis
numina
,
this
is
not
to
be
vnderstoode
of
garlike
or
onions
,
but
whose
gods
are
as
ancient
,
as
was
their
state
in
the
garden
;
then
men
were
numbred
among
the
gods
,
to
shew
the
conformitie
of
their
wils
,
or
as
our
diuines
holde
,
there
should
haue
been
no
death
in
Paradise
,
but
some
happie
translation
:
then
men
liued
free
from
the
sweate
of
their
browes
,
contentique
cibis
nullo
cogente
creat
is
;
there
was
a
sweete
contentment
and
quietnesse
of
minde
,
free
from
the
disturbance
of
the
bodie
,
the
fruites
of
the
earth
were
not
gotten
with
labour
,
nature
was
not
inforced
,
the
creation
did
still
seeme
to
be
continued
in
the
production
of
creatures
.
Would
yee
see
the
first
sin
of
the
first
man
,
shadowed
forth
in
a
fable
?
Daeda●us
would
needes
be
flying
,
but
his
wings
were
melted
with
heate
,
Tantalus
,
vt
poma
fugacia
captet
?
were
it
not
for
the
iustice
and
satisfaction
of
some
offence
,
committed
in
the
vniust
vsurpation
of
some
forbidden
fruite
.
Thus
I
hope
by
the
light
of
our
corrupted
reason
,
it
hath
already
sufficiently
appeared
,
not
onely
to
vs
Christians
,
to
whom
our
vndoubted
beleefe
,
which
first
wee
receiued
by
faith
,
Here
I
can
do
no
lesse
,
then
magnifie
the
wonderfull
prouidence
and
goodnesse
of
God
:
for
as
the
knowledge
of
a
disease
is
the
first
degree
to
the
cure
;
Nonne
est
resina
in
Gilead
?
Is
there
not
balme
at
Gilead
?
Though
I
am
inwardly
sicke
at
the
heart
(
for
all
the
faculties
and
powers
of
my
soule
are
corrupted
)
;
though
I
am
outwardly
sore
wounded
(
for
all
the
actions
of
my
bodie
are
tainted
)
;
yet
here
is
my
comfort
,
there
is
balme
in
Gilead
,
there
is
balme
in
Gilead
,
and
balme
hath
this
propertie
,
that
it
may
bee
taken
both
inwardly
as
a
soueraigne
medicine
to
heale
my
maladies
,
and
outwardly
it
may
bee
poured
into
my
wounds
,
as
an
excellent
salue
,
to
cure
my
infirmities
;
here
then
I
see
there
are
sufficient
meanes
for
my
recouerie
,
why
should
I
perish
?
But
where
at
length
shall
I
finde
the
Physitian
?
Mee
thinkes
I
am
borne
blinde
,
conceiued
in
sinne
and
iniq●itie
:
and
I
may
truly
say
with
the
Iewes
,
Iohn
9.
32.
Since
the
beginning
of
the
world
it
was
neuer
heard
,
that
any
man
did
euer
open
the
eyes
of
him
that
was
borne
blinde
.
I
must
therefore
ascend
to
some
higher
power
,
and
if
I
looke
vp
to
the
Angels
,
they
cannot
iustifie
themselues
,
In
angelis
suis
inuenit
malitiam
,
God
spared
not
the
Angels
which

;
and
euen
the
best
of
them
are
but
mess●ngers
,
and
ministring
spirits
:
I
will
rather
goe
to
the
fountaine
,
For
where
should
I
finde
refuge
,
but
vnder
the
shadow
of
thy
wings
,
(
O
blessed
Lord
God
)
?
now
in
this
time
of
darknesse
,
this
time
of
corruption
,
wash
mee
with
bysope
and
I
shall
bee
whiter
then
snow
;
cleanse
me
from
all
my
sinnes
,
my
secret
sinnes
,
the
sinnes
of
my
youth
,
the
sinnes
of
my
nature
,
which
together
haue
increased
with
the
hayres
of
my
head
,
with
the
minutes
of
my
age
:
leade
me
forth
in
thy
waies
,
let
thy
word
bee
a
lanterne
vnto
my
feete
,
and
a
light
vnto
my
pathes
,
and
with
thy
powerfull
assistance
keepe
mee
from
falling
.
O
blessed
Lord
God
write
thy
lawes
in
the
tables
of
my
heart
;
binde
them
as
chaines
to
my
necke
,
as
bracelets
to
my
armes
:
stirre
vp
and
strengthen
my
weake
faith
,
that
I
may
know
thee
to
be
the
onely
true
God
,
and
Iesus
Christ
(
whom
thou
hast
sent
)
to
be
the
onely
propitiation
for
our
sinnes
;
hee
is
the
word
of
thy
truth
,
the
word
begotten
in
thy
vnderstanding
,
from
all
eternitie
;
thy
onely
begotten
Sonne
,
the
wisdome
and
power
of
the
Godhead
:
now
at
length
,
in
the
fulnesse
of
time
,
become
the
sonne
of
man
;
God
in
our
flesh
,
made
like
vnto
vs
in
all
things
(
sinne
onely
excepted
)
,
whom
thou
hast
appoynted
▪
whom
thou
hast
prepared
,
before
the
face
of
all
people
,
to
be
a
light
to
enlighten
the
Gentiles
,
and
to
be
the
glorie
of
