Euery

(

CHrist
Iesus
the
eternall
Sonne
of
the
eternall
Father
,
In
these
three
words
,
Kingdome
,
〈◊〉
,
House
,
are
comprehended
all
men
of
whatsoeuer
estate
,
qualitie
or
condition
they
be
.
Christ
in
this
doctrine
doth
proceed
à
generaliori
ad
specialius
,
a
summo
ad
infimum
,
from
the
more
generall
to
the
more
speciall
,
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
.
This
word
Kingdome
doth
containe
in
it
Cities
;
and
Citie
,
houses
;
and
House
,
man
and
woman
:
on
the
other
part
,
by
that
order
of
doctrine
which
doth
proceed
ab
imo
ad
summum
,
from
the
lowest
to
the
highest
,
which
is
the
order
Architectonicke
of
building
.
By
the
vnion
of
man
and
woman
is
made
the
lowest
degree
of
societie
,
which
is
here
called
a
House
;
by
the
vnion
and
coniunction
of
many
houses
,
doth
proceed
the
second
degree
and
estate
of
mankinde
,
which
is
called
Citie
;
and
last
,
by
the
vnion
of
many
cities
doth
come
the
third
and
lowest
degree
of
societie
,
which
is
comprehended
vnder
the
word
Kingdome
.
In
the
exposition
of
this
text
we
meane
(
God
willing
)
to
gather
some
wholesome
and
fruitfull
doctrine
of
the
mysticall
signification
of
these
three
words
out
of
the
auncient
originall
Hebrew
language
.
learning
,
knowledge
,
and
a
conductor
.
The
second
,
Iod
,
signifieth
God
,
because
by
the
ancient
Hebrewes
he
is
called
Macom
,
a
place
,
that
doth
containe
and
comprehend
all
things
created
inferiour
to
himselfe
.
The
third
,
Schin
,
doth
signifie
second
.
Which
three
letters
vnited
in
the
word
Isch
,
which
is
man
,
doth
set
before
our
eyes
a
wholsome
doctrine
for
the
instruction
of
all
men
that
will
follow
the
same
;
to
wit
,
that
the
knowledge
of
God
doth
make
man
a
second
God
,
Clemens
Alexandrinus
teacheth
vs
:
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
God
dwelleth
in
the
middle
of
man
,
that
is
,
in
his
soule
and
minde
;
euen
as
the
letter
Iod
which
signifieth
God
,
is
in
the
middest
of
the
Hebrew
word
Isch
,
that
signifieth
man
.
The
word
that
signifieth
woman
in
Hebrew
is
Ischah
;
The
Hebrew
word
Beth
that
signifieth
house
doth
consist
of
three
letters
.
a
house
.
Which
is
continens
pro
contento
,
that
is
,
when
the
container
is
taken
for
the
thing
contained
.
The
second
word
whereby
is
signified
the
second
degree
of
the
societie
of
mankind
,
The
third
Hebrew
word
whereby
is
signified
the
most
high
and
generall
degree
or
estate
of
the
societie
of
mankind
,
enutriti
a
Ioue
nourished
by
God
,
admonishing
therby
that
as
a
child
doth
participate
of
the
nature
of
his
nurce
:
Euen
so
Kings
should
participate
the
nature
of
God
,
who
is
their
nource
.
This
participation
of
Kings
with
God
is
effectuated
by
exercising
themselues
in
God
his
word
,
and
ruling
their
kingdome
according
as
they
are
instructed
by
God
his
law
.
As
it
is
written
in
Deut.
The
word
diuision
in
the
originall
language
is
called
Peleg
,
Gnal
napscheh
against
his
own
soule
.
The
word
Vnion
in
the
originall
language
is
Achad
and
doth
consist
of
three
letters
:
knowledge
,
learning
,
or
a
conducter
:
the
second
,
Achad
,
Vnion
,
we
are
taught
that
Vnion
is
the
doore
whereby
we
enter
by
knowledge
to
life
and
eternall
felicitie
.
I
haue
set
before
your
eies
this
doctrine
of
the
mysticall
signification
of
the
Hebrew
letters
,
that
are
contained
in
these
words
Man
,
Woman
,
Citie
,
kingdome
,
diuision
,
and
vnion
,
to
this
end
that
the
persons
which
are
to
treate
of
this
great
worke
of
vnion
in
the
vniting
of
the
Iland
of
Great
Brittannie
in
one
kingdome
in
the
members
,
as
God
hath
vnited
them
alreadie
in
one
head
,
may
make
their
profit
thereof
and
apply
the
same
to
their
harts
.
And
because
I
haue
heretofore
shewed
you
,
inward
man
.
For
this
effect
we
shall
marke
that
man
is
called
by
the
Philosophers
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
that
is
,
In
this
little
kingdome
of
the
outward
man
,
outward
man
there
be
many
members
,
as
the
armes
,
hands
,
legges
,
and
feete
,
which
are
as
officers
,
and
vnder-gouernours
,
to
the
head
their
King
.
By
whose
administration
the
head
distributeth
equallie
to
all
his
members
food
and
nourishment
.
Let
vs
apply
this
similitude
of
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
in
the
outward
man
to
our selues
:
seing
the
whole
people
of
this
Iland
is
alreadie
Vnited
vnder
one
head
,
and
seeing
the
armes
,
hands
,
legges
,
and
feete
are
tyed
to
the
obedience
of
this
their
head
.
And
that
the
head
and
the
members
are
ipso
iure
,
&
ipso
facto
,
by
law
and
by
the
deede
it selfe
Vnited
.
Let
no
man
be
so
vnreasonable
to
separate
them
,
for
in
so
doing
they
do
but
throwe
stones
against
the
heauen
.
For
how
can
the
armes
,
hands
,
legges
,
and
feete
serue
the
head
in
the
nourishing
of
the
whole
body
,
if
they
were
onely
vnited
in
the
head
and
diuided
amongst
themselues
?
If
the
hands
and
armes
were
diuided
one
from
another
,
and
separated
from
the
whole
body
,
it
were
then
impossible
&
against
nature
that
this
body
could
be
nourished
,
by
the
worke
and
industrie
of
the
hands
:
and
againe
,
if
the
feet
were
diuided
from
the
head
,
and
the
rest
of
the
body
,
and
the
one
from
the
other
,
the
head
must
needes
fall
to
the
ground
.
Therefore
let
not
the
hands
deny
the
seruice
due
to
their
head
,
which
consisteth
in
preparing
and
administrating
foode
to
vphold
and
nourish
the
head
,
and
the
whole
body
.
The
force
of
both
the
armes
,
and
hands
doth
come
from
the
head
to
the
body
,
and
from
the
head
to
the
armes
.
Let
not
the
feete
,
and
legges
deny
their
seruice
in
carying
of
their
body
,
because
from
thence
commeth
their
nourishment
and
foode
.
But
let
vs
apply
this
doctrine
more
particularly
to
our selues
.
The
head
of
this
Iland
,
the
Kings
Maiestie
,
hath
vnited
in
his
Royall
person
the
armes
,
hands
and
legs
of
this
body
,
which
is
this
kingdome
of
Great
Brittannie
,
to
wit
,
the
South
and
the
North
in
one
obedience
,
and
seruice
,
whose
strength
and
nourishment
doth
flow
from
this
head
as
from
a
fountaine
:
So
hauing
this
consideration
before
you
,
iudge
and
ponder
with
your selues
what
a
miserable
and
dangerous
estate
it
were
,
that
one
of
the
armes
,
hands
,
or
feete
should
draw
to
it selfe
,
the
whole
foode
which
commeth
from
the
head
,
and
not
to
suffer
his
fellow
to
be
participant
thereof
.
Therefore
let
not
the
armes
of
the
South
,
I
meane
the
Officers
,
and
great
Gouernors
in
the
South
,
attribute
to
themselues
onely
,
the
whole
sustenance
and
nourishment
that
doth
come
from
the
head
,
that
is
to
say
,
preferments
,
offices
,
and
dignities
as
well
Ecclesiasticall
as
Temporall
,
excluding
from
thence
the
fellow
arme
of
the
North
,
which
is
the
other
arme
of
this
body
:
and
on
the
other
part
let
not
the
arme
of
the
North
,
which
is
the
other
arme
of
this
body
,
withdraw
from
his
fellow
the
offices
,
preferments
,
and
dignities
that
proceed
from
the
head
,
which
equally
should
pertaine
to
them
both
.
But
according
to
the
disposition
of
nature
in
this
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
or
little
kingdome
.
Let
both
the
armes
be
equally
participant
of
the
benefits
,
that
come
from
their
head
.
Thus
much
concerning
a
perfect
and
stable
Vnion
betwixt
the
members
and
the
head
,
and
of
the
Vnion
of
the
members
amongst
themselues
.
We
come
now
to
the
Image
of
a
kingdome
,
inward
man
.
Honorius
a
very
faithfull
Christian
Emperour
,
instructing
his
sonne
Arcadius
(
who
succeeded
to
his
Father
into
that
great
huge
Monarchie
of
the
whole
world
,
)
described
the
forme
of
that
kingdome
,
inward
man
.
The
wit
,
and
reason
of
the
mind
beareth
the
Image
of
a
King
in
the
inward
man
.
And
as
Claudianus
sayeth
in
the
person
of
Honorius
,
The
maker
of
man
,
to
wit
,
Prometheus
(
as
is
sayd
)
—
hanc
alta
capitis
fundauit
in
arce
mandatricem
operum
:
prospecturamque
labori
.
He
did
place
this
spiritual
king
of
the
inward
man
in
his
head
,
as
in
a
throne
out
of
the
which
he
ruleth
and
disposeth
all
the
actions
of
man
,
prouideth
and
foreseeth
to
keepe
his
subiects
which
are
Ira
,
Metus
,
Cupido
,
anger
,
feare
,
couetousnesse
,
in
good
order
and
temperature
;
of
the
which
it
will
please
you
heare
Claudianus
words
as
followeth
.
Illas
inferius
collo
,
praeceptaque
summae
Passuras
Dominae
,
digna
statione
locauit
.
That
is
the
maker
of
man
,
did
place
the
subiects
of
this
King
of
the
inward
man
,
in
these
parts
of
the
body
which
are
vnder
the
head
and
necke
,
as
in
a
fit
station
,
ward
,
or
standing
place
to
obey
the
commaundement
of
their
soueraigne
Lord
,
the
first
of
these
subiects
named
Ira
,
anger
,
hath
his
seate
in
the
hart
which
is
full
of
heat
:
the
second
Metus
,
feare
hath
his
seate
in
the
lungs
or
lights
:
the
third
Cupido
,
desire
,
couetousnesse
,
hath
his
seate
in
Iecore
,
in
the
Liuer
.
Let
vs
draw
this
example
of
the
image
of
the
kingdome
,
in
the
inward
man
to
our selues
,
in
this
vnion
of
great
Britannie
,
which
great
worke
is
now
in
hand
,
for
euen
as
Mens
or
Ratio
is
the
king
,
who
ruleth
,
and
keepeth
in
order
his
subiects
,
to
wit
,
Ira
,
metus
,
cupido
,
euen
so
the
king
and
head
of
this
Iland
must
keepe
his
subiects
in
the
South
and
in
the
North
,
that
are
as
diuers
of
nature
as
Ira
,
metus
,
cupido
,
in
good
order
&
temperature
,
least
that
not
being
ruled
,
and
ouerruled
by
their
King
,
they
fall
into
a
lamentable
diuision
,
whereupon
will
follow
according
to
Christs
words
in
this
text
,
a
most
miserable
desolation
(
from
the
which
I
pray
the
Lord
deliuer
vs
)
So
that
I
conclude
if
we
be
vnited
vnder
one
head
and
one
king
,
we
must
be
vnited
amongst
our selues
,
or
els
be
disobedient
to
Reason
our
King
:
This
if
we
do
,
all
the
members
of
one
body
shall
agree
in
a
harmonie
amongst
themselues
,
and
be
participant
euerie
one
of
his
fellowes
benefits
,
in
so
much
that
the
heate
of
the
hart
,
wherein
wrath
and
anger
dwelleth
must
participate
of
the
moist
and
cold
of
the
lights
,
that
is
,
the
furie
of
wrath
and
anger
must
be
ruled
,
and
brideled
by
the
feare
of
god
,
and
of
the
king
his
Lieutenant
heere
on
earth
,
which
otherwise
getting
loose
bridle
raines
,
would
cut
the
whole
kingdome
by
diuision
in
pieces
:
Also
the
respiration
and
breathing
of
the
lights
must
temperate
,
and
moderate
the
ardent
heat
of
desire
and
couetousnesse
that
is
in
the
liuer
.
So
that
ye
may
see
the
three
inward
parts
of
man
,
which
are
subiect
to
their
king
reason
,
must
communicate
one
with
another
all
their
offices
and
commodities
,
otherwise
the
subiects
of
the
kingdome
of
the
inward
man
could
not
keepe
themselues
in
the
obedience
of
Reason
their
king
.
Of
this
we
learne
,
that
by
the
figure
and
type
of
this
kingdome
of
the
inward
man
the
whole
people
and
subiects
of
this
Iland
should
consider
,
that
if
they
will
follow
the
law
of
their
king
reason
(
which
they
must
needes
doe
,
or
els
they
cannot
remaine
vnited
with
their
soueraigne
king
,
whose
kingdome
is
ruled
by
reason
)
it
behoueth
them
all
to
make
euery
one
participant
of
an
others
helpe
,
and
aide
,
in
communicating
mutually
one
to
his
neighbour
,
and
fellow
the
emoluments
,
and
preferments
on
both
the
sides
.
For
when
the
heat
of
the
hart
is
withdrawen
from
the
cold
moistnesse
of
the
lungs
and
humiditie
of
the
liuer
:
or
when
the
lights
,
and
the
liuer
doe
withdraw
their
refreshing
from
the
heart
,
then
the
kingdome
of
the
inward
man
is
brought
to
confusion
,
and
desolation
,
by
the
diuision
of
the
subiects
in
withdrawing
the
commodities
one
from
another
which
should
be
common
to
both
.
Ye
see
now
what
I
meane
;
that
if
the
people
of
the
South
withdrawe
the
commoditie
of
their
heat
from
the
North
;
and
on
the
other
part
,
if
these
of
the
North
withdraw
the
refreshing
of
the
heat
of
the
South
:
There
is
no
doubt
,
I
say
,
but
if
such
diuision
were
suffered
by
Reason
our
king
,
it
would
bring
forth
ere
it
were
long
such
a
distemperature
amongst
his
subiects
,
that
in
the
end
in
place
of
vnion
,
there
should
be
nothing
but
miserable
desolation
and
confusion
,
which
is
the
fruite
of
Diuision
,
spoken
of
in
our
text
.
Now
let
vs
come
to
the
opening
of
the
matter
contained
in
our
text
,
hauing
alreadie
amply
enough
spoken
of
the
mysticall
doctrine
,
collecting
the
same
out
of
the
literall
sense
.
The
kingdome
of
God
in
heauen
doth
consist
of
Archangels
,
Angels
,
Cherubins
,
Seraphins
,
Vertues
,
Thrones
,
and
all
other
sorts
of
spirits
called
by
S.
Paul
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
ministring
spirits
,
who
doe
praise
and
worship
continually
their
Creator
with
hymnes
,
and
spirituall
songs
,
surpassing
the
intelligence
of
man
in
this
earth
,
liuing
in
an
incomprehensible
and
vnspeakeable
felicitie
and
happinesse
in
an
inaccessable
light
,
who
are
guided
by
the
euerlasting
wisdome
,
and
prouidence
of
the
eternall
,
omnipotent
,
and
onelie
good
God
.
This
celestiall
kingdome
was
from
the
beginning
established
in
vnion
:
But
Satan
who
was
created
in
all
perfection
,
and
for
his
brightnesse
(
by
the
auncient
Fathers
)
called
Lucifer
,
did
fall
away
from
his
Creator
,
&
drew
with
him
innumerable
legions
of
Angels
,
and
in
so
doing
,
by
his
apostasie
&
defection
from
God
,
did
make
a
diuision
amongst
the
Angels
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
For
the
which
he
was
throwen
downe
from
that
heauenly
habitation
,
to
the
bottomlesse
pit
of
hell
,
prepared
for
him
and
his
Angels
before
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
as
we
may
read
in
the
Gospell
of
Saint
Matthew
,
Euery
kingdome
,
&c.
Although
Satan
will
admit
no
diuision
,
in
his
owne
kingdome
,
as
we
are
taught
in
this
Chapter
;
yet
he
is
the
very
fountaine
,
&
welspring
of
all
diuisions
,
both
in
the
kingdome
of
God
and
man
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
to
the
end
thereof
.
For
the
better
vnderstanding
of
this
word
Diuision
which
is
in
my
Text
,
Diuision
,
viz.
a
diuision
betwixt
God
and
man
:
a
diuision
betwixt
man
and
man
,
and
a
diuision
betwixt
countrey
and
countrey
.
The
diuision
betwixt
God
and
man
doth
come
by
Idolatrie
,
and
sinne
:
the
diuision
betwixt
man
and
man
,
is
partly
by
diuersitie
in
Religion
,
and
partly
by
ambition
,
in
hunting
after
dignities
,
honours
,
and
preferments
,
of
which
also
doth
come
the
diuision
of
countries
and
lands
.
As
we
haue
shewed
you
how
many
kindes
of
Diuision
there
be
,
Hauing
shewed
you
what
Diuision
and
desolation
is
,
and
their
kinds
,
I
purpose
(
by
God
his
grace
)
for
the
better
exposition
of
my
Text
,
to
set
summarily
before
your
eyes
,
as
in
a
painted
table
,
the
most
notable
examples
of
the
Division
of
Kingdoms
,
Cities
,
and
houses
in
all
ages
:
together
with
their
desolation
which
doe
follow
on
the
other
,
as
the
effect
the
cause
:
Moreouer
we
shall
see
,
that
diuision
is
a
punishment
and
a
curse
of
God
laid
on
mankind
:
as
by
the
contrarie
Vnion
is
a
great
blessing
of
God
amongst
all
estates
and
conditions
of
men
,
which
we
shall
doe
to
this
end
,
that
laying
before
you
the
good
fruits
of
Vnion
,
and
the
miseries
and
calamities
that
doe
flow
from
diuision
of
kingdomes
,
countries
,
and
houses
,
that
all
these
things
may
serue
,
for
your
instructions
who
haue
now
in
hand
the
consideration
of
the
blessed
Vnion
of
this
Iland
of
Great
Britannie
into
one
kingdome
,
which
is
alreadie
vnited
in
our
head
our
dread
Soueraigne
the
King
his
Maiestie
.
The
first
diuision
that
euer
we
read
of
after
the
creation
of
the
world
,
Garden
of
pleasure
into
to
a
most
barren
and
infertile
soile
,
wherein
he
should
labour
hardly
and
purchase
his
bread
by
the
swet
of
his
face
,
till
he
returne
againe
to
the
earth
.
Vpon
the
other
part
,
God
who
is
the
fountaine
of
charitie
,
loue
,
and
Vnion
,
yea
charitie
it selfe
,
did
begin
his
kingdome
also
amongst
men
,
whereby
at
the
time
preordinate
in
his
incomprehensible
prouidence
,
he
should
ouerthrow
the
kingdome
of
Satan
.
God
,
I
say
,
did
begin
this
his
kingdome
in
the
very
fall
of
man
,
in
that
blessed
promise
,
which
he
made
to
Man
,
when
he
said
,
that
the
seede
of
the
woman
should
bruse
and
destroy
the
head
of
the
Serpent
.
The
first
example
of
the
beginning
of
the
kingdome
of
Satan
in
this
earth
by
diuision
,
But
God
on
the
other
part
,
hauing
a
care
of
his
promise
of
the
blessed
seede
,
did
renue
his
kingdome
amongst
men
,
in
the
person
of
Seth
,
Enos
,
Enoch
,
and
sundry
others
,
who
were
the
true
and
faithfull
worshippers
of
God
,
that
blessed
seede
that
was
promised
,
in
whom
the
ruine
of
man
with
God
,
did
consist
.
Yet
notwithstanding
Satan
continuing
in
his
practises
of
diuision
against
mankind
,
being
desirous
to
bring
them
all
to
lamentable
desolation
and
confusion
,
did
seduce
the
progenie
of
godly
Seth
,
and
Enos
,
whom
the
Text
calleth
the
sonnes
of
God
,
by
the
bewitching
beautie
of
the
daughters
of
men
,
to
wit
,
the
daughters
of
the
Cainites
,
who
were
an
Idolatrous
&
wicked
people
:
of
this
vngodly
mixtion
,
the
generations
of
wicked
Idolatrous
and
blood
thirstie
men
,
did
so
multiply
,
that
we
reade
in
Genesis
the
whole
race
of
mankinde
was
corrupted
,
Euery
kingdome
,
&c.
For
here
we
see
how
Satan
in
this
first
age
,
did
practise
a
generall
desolation
in
the
whole
race
of
mankind
,
by
the
diuision
which
he
brought
into
the
house
of
Adam
.
Out
of
this
doctrine
there
may
be
collected
a
wholsome
instruction
,
and
warning
to
all
the
subiects
of
this
Iland
of
Great
Britannie
.
But
more
specially
this
doctrine
doth
appertain
,
for
the
instruction
of
these
,
whom
God
and
his
Lieutenant
hath
assembled
at
this
time
,
to
treate
of
the
performance
of
this
godly
worke
,
of
the
Vnion
of
this
Iland
in
one
kingdome
.
For
euen
as
the
first
age
which
was
before
the
deluge
,
did
descend
of
one
Father
,
and
was
diuided
by
discord
amongst
bretheren
,
and
afterward
by
this
diuision
brought
to
small
desolation
and
destruction
:
So
the
first
Inhabitants
of
this
little
world
,
of
great
Britannie
,
(
who
are
called
by
Virgill
,
diuisi
toto
orbe
Britanni
,
)
were
in
the
beginning
borne
of
one
Father
,
but
amongst
themselues
by
bretheren
diuided
,
who
could
not
liue
together
in
loue
and
amitie
:
of
this
diuision
,
which
hath
beene
for
many
yeers
,
many
desolations
did
fall
out
,
in
the
whole
Island
by
sundry
cruell
,
&
bloody
wars
:
yet
in
our
daies
God
hath
shewed
his
mercy
wonderfully
towards
vs
in
vniting
vs
al
vnder
one
head
.
Wherby
we
are
taught
also
,
that
as
the
diuersitie
of
heads
,
and
Kings
in
this
Island
made
the
diuersitie
of
kingdomes
:
Euen
so
the
singularitie
of
one
King
,
and
one
head
,
maketh
the
singularitie
of
one
kingdome
:
so
that
this
whole
Island
is
vnited
ipso
iure
,
&
ipso
facto
in
that
same
vnited
estate
,
in
the
which
it
was
before
the
first
diuision
thereof
,
into
diuers
kingdomes
.
Therefore
let
euery
man
thinke
,
that
it
is
,
both
agreeable
with
law
,
and
reason
,
that
we
be
no
more
two
kingdomes
,
but
one
,
seeing
we
all
confesse
to
haue
onely
one
head
,
and
one
King
.
The
order
of
this
matter
doth
lead
vs
to
set
downe
before
you
,
In
this
generall
diuision
of
the
whole
world
we
may
obserue
,
that
the
gouernours
and
captaines
of
these
people
,
which
first
did
inhabite
any
land
,
gaue
the
first
names
to
that
land
or
kingdome
that
they
did
inhabite
.
Of
the
which
names
there
remaine
as
yet
to
our
daies
some
signes
,
markes
,
and
remembrances
of
their
first
imposition
;
as
for
example
,
the
countrey
of
Thracia
,
gat
the
name
from
Thyras
one
of
Iaphets
sonnes
;
the
country
of
the
Grecians
,
was
called
Ionia
from
Iauan
,
one
of
Iaphets
children
,
who
by
the
Grecians
was
called
Ion
,
et
inde
Iones
:
The
countrey
of
Moschouia
,
whose
people
to
our
age
are
called
Muschouits
,
did
take
the
name
from
Meschet
,
another
of
Iaphets
sons
.
In
the
10.
cap.
of
Genes.
after
that
Moses
hath
named
Iaphets
posteritie
,
he
saith
,
that
the
Isles
of
the
Gentiles
were
deuided
likewise
by
Iaphets
sonnes
according
to
their
families
,
and
languages
,
and
although
the
names
of
the
gouernours
,
and
people
,
who
first
did
inhabite
the
ilands
of
the
Gentiles
,
are
not
expressed
in
the
Bible
:
yet
we
find
them
expressed
by
that
most
renowned
Doctor
Epiphanius
in
his
Anchorato
,
who
after
he
had
named
and
spoken
of
Iaphets
posteritie
and
progenie
,
he
doth
name
in
the
end
of
his
Catalogue
,
Britanni
,
Scoti
,
Hispani
:
Insulae
verò
ipsorum
,
Brittannia
,
Sicilia
,
Rhodus
,
&c.
so
that
we
see
heere
that
this
Iland
of
great
Brittannie
,
is
first
named
amongst
all
the
Ilands
of
the
world
,
by
all
appearance
at
that
time
,
as
the
greatest
.
Whereby
we
may
collect
,
The
proper
names
of
men
,
Ram
,
excelsus
,
high
,
that
is
to
say
,
a
high
Father
,
was
altered
,
&
changed
by
God
himselfe
,
per
synaeresin
,
he
was
called
Abraham
,
pater
excelsus
multitudinis
,
a
high
Father
of
a
multitude
,
in
which
name
was
contained
a
prophecie
:
into
the
which
change
of
his
name
God
did
make
a
promise
to
him
,
that
a
multitude
of
Kings
,
and
people
should
come
of
him
:
for
this
same
cause
God
changed
the
name
Sarai
,
Nutte
tree
,
to
be
a
perpetuall
memoriall
,
that
in
that
place
God
and
his
Angels
did
appeare
to
him
ascending
and
descending
a
Ladder
.
In
the
same
manner
also
,
Iacobs
name
was
changed
by
God
,
the
face
of
God
,
because
in
that
place
he
saw
the
face
of
God
vnder
the
shape
of
a
man
Euen
so
we
may
say
,
and
that
not
without
reason
,
that
the
name
of
Brit-an-iah
,
is
a
propheticall
name
from
the
beginning
,
foreshewing
that
the
couenant
of
God
should
be
established
in
this
Iland
,
at
the
appointed
time
by
God
.
The
couenant
betwixt
God
and
man
,
doth
consist
in
the
true
worship
,
and
adoration
of
the
onely
increated
God
,
which
is
most
plainly
set
downe
to
vs
in
the
new
Testament
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
Iesus
.
As
the
generall
name
of
the
whole
Iland
doth
containe
vnder
it selfe
,
Heberni
,
&
Hebrides
Insulae
,
the
North
west
.
And
from
the
people
,
the
places
of
their
habitation
are
called
Anglia
,
Scotia
,
Wallia
,
Hibernia
.
Vndoubtedly
all
these
foure
names
haue
their
auncient
originall
from
Iaphets
posteritie
,
as
Epiphanius
,
and
others
doe
write
:
So
that
we
may
gather
that
the
etymologie
of
their
names
is
to
be
searched
out
of
the
Hebrew
language
,
whose
signification
hath
a
great
correspondence
,
with
the
generall
name
Brit-an-iah
.
And
therefore
it
is
fit
they
be
knowne
.
Angli
,
Saxones
,
&
Viti
were
the
three
ancient
nations
,
that
came
out
of
Sueuia
,
and
Germania
into
great
Britannie
as
Beda
doth
witnesse
,
ibi
Reuelatio
Dei
,
there
is
the
Reuelation
of
God
:
Scotia
,
is
also
a
most
ancient
kingdome
in
this
Iland
.
For
in
the
booke
of
collections
out
of
Ioseph
Bon-gorion
,
written
in
Hebrew
,
Vespasianus
speaking
to
Nero
,
doth
make
mention
of
Scotia
,
so
doth
Flauius
Iosephus
in
an
Oration
which
he
had
to
the
people
of
Ierusalem
,
Quid
attexam
Brittannias
interfuso
mari
a
toto
orbe
diuisas
,
&
a
Romanis
in
orbem
terrarum
redact
as
tremit
hos
Scotia
,
quae
terris
nihil
debet
.
Of
this
name
also
Epiphanius
beareth
record
,
when
hereckoned
the
posteritie
of
Iaphet
,
as
I
shewed
you
before
:
and
therefore
we
must
in
like
maner
seeke
the
deriuation
of
Scotia
,
out
of
the
Hebrew
,
which
is
,
quies
Dei
,
the
rest
or
peace
of
God
.
Hiberni
or
Heberni
are
descended
also
of
Iaphets
posterity
.
Transitio
filij
Dei
,
the
passing
ouer
of
the
Sonne
of
God
.
Euen
so
Wallia
doth
come
from
Gallia
,
from
whence
Walli
had
their
progenie
,
who
as
yet
doe
speake
the
old
language
(
which
was
in
Gallia
before
the
Romane
conquest
)
and
in
this
Wallia
were
the
old
auncient
schooles
of
the
Gentilique
religion
of
the
Druides
.
The
name
then
of
Wallia
or
Gallia
,
flumen
Dei
,
Gods
Riuer
:
or
reuelatio
Dei
,
the
Reuelation
of
God
.
So
that
ye
may
see
all
these
names
are
propheticall
,
and
doe
foretell
that
the
couenant
of
God
signified
by
the
generall
name
Brit-an-iah
should
make
this
happy
and
blessed
Vnion
in
one
Religion
,
and
one
Kingdome
.
The
prophecie
of
all
these
names
was
accomplished
immediatly
after
Christ
his
ascention
,
Theodoretus
,
Metaphrastes
,
and
Nicephorus
,
that
S.
Paul
,
S.
Peter
,
Ioseph
of
Arimathaea
,
and
Simon
Zelotes
did
preach
the
Euangell
of
Christ
in
Brittannie
,
Also
this
prophesie
that
is
contained
mysticallie
in
the
name
of
Britannie
hath
thrice
come
to
passe
in
this
Iland
.
First
,
as
is
said
,
it
was
accomplished
in
the
preaching
of
Christs
Apostles
,
and
their
Disciples
:
Secondly
,
in
the
time
of
Constantinus
Magnus
by
the
vnion
of
the
kingdome
of
the
whole
world
with
Christs
kingdome
:
Thirdly
,
this
prophesie
is
accomplished
in
our
daies
(
as
we
shall
heare
more
amply
hereafter
)
in
vs
and
our
posteritie
.
For
before
our
daies
the
couenant
of
God
hath
beene
broken
,
and
violated
in
this
Iland
,
by
the
operation
of
Satan
,
who
transforming
himselfe
into
an
Angell
of
light
,
in
taking
vpon
him
the
pretext
of
Christs
true
religion
,
did
change
the
worship
of
Christ
,
into
the
worship
of
Christs
images
,
made
by
the
handes
of
man
,
of
gold
and
siluer
,
which
he
made
to
be
worshipped
,
as
Christ
himselfe
.
As
Thomas
Aquinas
,
and
the
rest
of
that
sort
,
do
teach
.
Quòd
Christus
,
&
imago
Christi
eadem
adoratione
adorari
debeant
.
That
Christ
and
his
image
should
be
worshipped
with
one
and
the
selfe
same
adoration
.
Moreouer
that
old
enemie
of
mankind
,
Satan
,
did
make
our
predecessors
to
breake
Gods
couenant
by
seducing
them
to
worship
,
&
erect
a
strange
God
in
this
earth
:
which
was
a
new
created
God
made
of
a
wafer
cake
,
by
transsubstantiating
the
substance
thereof
into
the
substance
of
the
humane
nature
of
Christ
pretending
Christ
,
God
,
and
man
,
reallie
to
be
contained
vnder
the
outward
forme
thereof
,
which
they
called
by
the
name
of
God
,
Creator
,
and
adored
him
as
the
true
God
,
both
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
the
auncient
doctrine
of
the
Trinitie
,
by
the
which
no
thing
is
to
be
adored
extra
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
consubstantialitatem
Patris
,
that
is
not
vnited
in
consubstantialitie
with
God
the
father
,
which
vnion
cannot
be
performed
in
the
Imaginarie
transsubstantiation
of
this
wafer
cake
,
neither
yet
can
it
be
vnited
with
the
deitie
of
Christ
,
as
Cardinall
Bellarminus
doth
confesse
;
so
that
ye
see
,
how
the
couenant
of
God
was
broken
in
this
Iland
,
by
the
worshipping
of
a
strange
,
and
new
God
,
who
was
not
incarnate
or
borne
of
the
blessed
Virgin
Marie
,
not
vnited
with
the
deitie
in
the
Virgins
wombe
.
Of
all
these
we
note
,
I
thinke
I
should
not
discharge
my
duety
,
if
in
this
place
,
I
did
forget
to
shew
you
the
King
his
Maiesties
great
and
laudable
modestie
,
which
he
hath
obserued
in
restoring
of
this
auncient
name
,
in
so
much
that
laying
a
side
all
priuiledges
,
and
prerogatiues
due
to
other
Kings
,
in
such
like
cases
.
For
when
the
whole
kingdomes
of
the
Orient
were
vnited
to
the
Assyrians
,
they
tooke
their
names
from
their
soueraigne
King
:
And
when
the
Monarchie
was
translated
to
the
Persians
,
that
second
Monarchie
receaued
the
name
of
the
Persians
:
and
likewise
in
the
third
,
and
fourth
Monarchie
,
the
people
embraced
the
name
and
title
of
those
that
were
their
Kings
and
Princes
.
So
that
by
the
Kings
M.
prerogatiue
and
priuiledge
,
seeing
that
the
South
part
is
fallen
to
his
royall
person
,
both
by
the
lawe
of
God
,
and
nature
;
the
name
of
the
former
kingdome
might
haue
beene
imposed
to
this
kingdome
,
which
is
last
fallen
in
his
power
:
We
see
also
that
the
name
of
Scoti
is
insert
,
by
Epiphanius
in
the
Catologue
of
those
countries
,
that
were
distributed
to
the
posteritie
of
Iaphet
:
whereof
we
may
note
the
antiquitie
thereof
.
So
that
all
men
may
see
,
that
looke
with
an
indifferent
eye
,
the
great
modestie
,
the
good
consideration
,
and
louing
kindnes
that
hath
accompanied
his
Maiestie
in
this
great
worke
,
insomuch
that
he
hath
not
vsed
his
owne
prerogatiue
in
bringing
in
a
new
name
in
this
kingdome
of
the
South
:
But
he
hath
onely
restored
the
ancient
name
of
great
Britannie
,
both
to
the
South
and
the
North.
To
the
end
that
he
might
extirpat
the
very
seede
of
diuision
,
which
hath
beene
these
many
yeeres
deeply
rooted
amongst
vs
:
But
now
(
God
be
praised
)
by
the
embracing
of
this
godly
Vnion
,
both
in
the
head
,
in
the
members
,
and
in
name
,
all
matters
of
diuision
,
and
contention
,
are
to
be
buried
in
the
graue
of
obliuion
.
For
by
this
name
of
Britannie
,
which
is
as
much
as
Gods
couenant
we
are
vnited
both
in
the
corporall
,
and
spirituall
kingdom
.
But
let
vs
returne
backe
to
the
diuision
of
Countries
.
vt
acquirerent
sibi
nomen
,
This
being
considered
,
In
the
first
Monarchie
of
the
Assyrians
,
deficiente
causa
,
deficit
effectus
;
the
cause
of
the
diuision
of
kingdomes
being
taken
away
,
the
effect
and
diuision
of
them
should
be
taken
away
,
ipso
iure
,
&
ipso
facto
.
For
so
they
returne
to
be
one
nation
,
one
people
,
and
one
land
,
as
they
were
before
the
diuision
.
By
this
it
is
most
euidently
shewed
to
vs
,
that
our
great
Britaine
being
in
our
daies
vnited
in
one
language
,
in
one
religion
,
and
vnder
one
head
,
one
King
and
supreame
gouernour
,
we
cannot
by
any
law
,
be
any
more
two
nations
,
or
two
kingdomes
,
but
only
one
.
The
second
example
of
the
Vnion
of
sundry
Countries
,
ipso
iure
,
&
ipso
facto
,
the
kingdomes
that
were
seuerall
and
separated
before
.
Therefore
let
no
man
imagine
that
we
are
two
kingdomes
,
or
two
nations
,
but
vnus
grex
,
vnum
ouile
,
sub
vno
pastore
,
Satan
to
establish
his
kingdome
in
the
middle
of
the
people
of
God
,
did
deceaue
the
wise
Salomon
,
by
the
filthie
loue
,
and
desire
of
forraine
women
:
afterward
he
seduced
him
to
erect
Idols
,
and
false
Gods
in
the
high
places
of
that
holy
Land
,
retaining
neuerthelesse
the
temple
of
Ierusalem
,
&
the
true
Sacrifice
,
worship
,
and
adoration
of
God
:
by
the
which
maintenance
of
true
Religion
on
the
one
part
,
and
false
Religion
on
the
other
,
there
did
proceede
a
diuision
so
odious
vnto
God
,
that
for
this
cause
,
he
did
poure
foorth
his
curses
and
maledictions
vpon
the
posteritie
of
Salomon
,
and
rent
away
the
ten
Tribes
,
and
parts
of
the
kingdome
of
the
holy
land
from
Roboam
his
sonne
,
which
he
gaue
to
Ieroboam
his
seruant
:
leauing
onely
to
Roboam
the
two
Tribes
which
did
remaine
.
By
this
we
learne
,
how
displeasant
this
diuision
of
Religion
made
by
Salomon
was
to
God
,
and
what
a
miserable
desolation
it
did
bring
,
by
succession
of
time
vpon
his
posteritie
.
Let
this
punishment
,
spirituall
Ierusalem
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
preaching
of
the
true
worship
and
adoration
of
the
increated
God
,
that
they
be
not
by
any
meanes
seduced
,
by
the
desire
and
couetousnesse
of
the
riches
of
that
false
God
,
which
is
made
of
a
wafer
cake
,
to
be
erected
,
set
vp
,
and
maintained
in
high
places
,
houses
,
and
castels
,
which
do
pertaine
to
men
of
high
places
in
the
Countreies
and
kingdomes
where
they
dwell
.
For
vndoubtedly
as
God
in
euery
place
,
and
in
all
ages
is
like
vnto
himselfe
:
euen
so
shall
he
be
to
the
end
of
the
world
,
to
all
the
Monarches
,
Kings
,
Princes
,
soueraigne
gouernours
,
and
to
all
Republicks
,
that
doe
commit
such
an
offence
as
Salomon
did
,
which
came
to
passe
by
a
diuision
of
false
and
true
religion
that
was
suffered
by
Salomon
.
I
pray
the
eternall
God
to
extermine
and
abolish
all
the
remnants
&
reliques
of
Idolatrie
,
which
as
yet
are
excercised
,
&
tolerated
in
the
high
places
of
this
Iland
:
and
let
vs
all
call
to
God
in
the
contrition
&
humilitie
of
our
harts
,
that
that
same
good
God
,
who
moued
his
Maiesties
heart
to
renew
all
these
lawes
,
that
serue
to
extinguish
all
Idolatrie
(
which
his
Maiestie
doth
detest
as
much
as
any
man
liuing
)
would
also
mooue
and
touch
the
hearts
of
all
his
subiects
,
who
are
in
the
high
places
of
the
land
,
that
they
may
follow
the
godly
example
of
their
Soueraigne
Prince
and
King
,
and
that
they
may
put
in
effect
the
saying
of
the
Poet
,
Regis
ad
exemplum
totus
componitur
orbis
:
that
following
the
example
of
their
King
in
louing
the
true
religion
,
and
hating
false
worship
and
Idolatrie
:
euery
one
of
them
according
to
their
place
and
estate
,
may
be
carefull
to
purge
and
clense
this
whole
Iland
from
the
spirituall
plague
,
and
pestilence
of
Idolatrie
,
that
doth
to
much
increase
in
many
places
of
this
Kingdome
▪
so
that
if
God
put
not
to
his
helping
hand
,
it
is
to
be
feared
,
and
there
is
to
great
appearance
that
this
foule
infection
of
Idolatry
shall
extend
it selfe
vniuersally
through
the
whole
countrey
,
that
it
will
not
be
contented
with
the
high
and
secret
places
:
but
wil
come
to
the
valleies
,
townes
,
cities
,
and
Churches
;
which
without
all
doubt
,
if
it
be
suffered
,
will
bring
that
miserable
,
and
fearefull
desolation
,
whereof
Christ
doth
speake
in
our
text
.
Satan
by
the
diuision
of
the
earthly
Kingdome
betwixt
Roboam
and
Ieroboam
did
practise
a
lamentable
diuision
in
the
spirituall
Kingdome
of
God
,
languages
,
lands
,
Countreies
,
and
kingdomes
,
as
yee
haue
heard
before
.
And
for
this
effect
Satan
did
seduce
Ieroboams
heart
,
that
he
might
shew
himselfe
ingrate
to
God
,
who
had
beene
so
beneficiall
vnto
him
,
in
making
him
King
of
the
greatest
part
of
his
Maisters
kingdome
;
and
to
moue
him
to
such
a
falling
away
from
God
,
did
cast
in
his
heart
this
worldly
consideration
,
to
witte
,
that
if
he
should
suffer
his
people
to
remaine
vnited
with
the
two
Tribes
of
Iudah
,
and
Beniamin
,
which
did
appertaine
to
Roboam
,
and
so
to
continue
in
the
exercise
of
true
religion
in
the
temple
of
Ierusalem
,
would
be
the
cause
to
reunite
them
,
as
they
were
before
in
one
Kingdome
.
This
wicked
minde
of
Ieroboam
did
distract
him
from
God
,
Satan
in
drawing
men
from
the
true
Religion
in
diuiding
,
After
this
diuision
of
the
kingdome
in
the
Elect
people
of
God
,
That
this
example
may
serue
for
our
instruction
:
First
let
vs
be
thankful
to
God
who
hath
vnited
the
people
of
this
Iland
in
the
true
Religion
,
King
his
Maiestie
,
our
common
head
,
was
borne
and
bred
,
and
had
his
beginning
in
the
North
,
or
because
the
Nobilitie
of
the
North
may
claime
to
haue
some
preheminence
by
the
antiquitie
of
their
houses
,
aboue
the
South
.
But
let
vs
all
thinke
with
our selues
,
that
as
our
head
and
Soueraigne
Lord
is
made
of
a
blessed
commixtion
of
the
bloud
royall
of
the
South
and
the
North
:
Euen
so
,
let
all
the
subiects
of
the
South
&
the
North
thinke
themselues
mingled
together
,
and
vnited
in
their
head
and
King
:
So
that
all
men
of
worth
,
and
merit
,
be
equally
participant
of
the
honours
,
dignities
,
preferments
,
and
offices
of
great
Britannie
,
according
to
their
talents
,
places
,
and
merits
,
laying
aside
the
place
of
their
birth
,
whether
it
be
South
,
or
North.
This
equalitie
is
the
only
meane
to
establish
this
blessed
worke
of
the
Vnion
in
the
members
,
as
God
hath
established
the
same
already
in
the
head
,
which
will
take
away
from
amongst
vs
all
seede
of
discord
.
The
order
of
this
matter
which
we
haue
in
hand
,
After
that
the
kingdome
of
Iudah
was
ouerthrowen
by
Nabuchadnetzar
King
of
the
Assyrians
,
the
Temple
of
God
destroyed
,
&
the
whole
people
led
into
captiuitie
to
Babylon
,
God
did
begin
to
establish
his
Kingdome
in
that
captiuitie
,
and
the
calling
of
the
Gentils
,
which
was
a
figure
and
a
type
of
the
eternall
kingdome
of
God
,
that
he
was
to
establish
by
his
eternall
sonne
,
ouer
all
the
nations
,
and
people
of
the
world
.
Of
which
kingdome
Daniel
did
speake
in
the
interpretation
of
the
Vision
of
that
great
Image
,
We
reade
in
Daniel
,
In
like
manner
when
God
did
translate
the
Monarchie
from
the
Persians
to
Alexander
and
his
successors
,
Flauius
Iosephus
,
that
Alexander
himselfe
did
maintaine
the
Priesthoode
,
and
Temple
of
Ierusalem
,
This
was
the
cause
that
mooued
Alexander
to
enter
into
the
Temple
of
Ierusalem
,
The
Romane
Monarchie
did
grow
to
her
perfection
,
Augustus
Caesar
,
and
did
indure
partly
in
perfection
,
partly
in
her
decaying
age
,
for
the
space
of
seauen
hundreth
yeeres
or
there
about
:
But
in
her
declining
age
,
great
diuisions
did
fall
out
by
ciuill
warres
,
which
did
bring
foorth
a
great
desolation
,
and
dissolution
;
of
the
which
there
did
rise
a
multitude
of
other
Kings
and
kingdomes
,
according
to
the
prophecie
of
Daniel
:
Christ
amongst
all
estates
of
the
world
,
did
make
choise
of
this
vnited
estate
of
all
kingdomes
vnder
one
King
,
&
Monarche
to
begin
his
spirituall
kingdom
here
amongst
men
.
Whereby
we
are
taught
that
the
onely
son
of
God
did
loue
the
condition
of
the
Vnion
of
many
kings
in
one
,
as
being
an
Image
of
his
heauenly
kingdome
,
aboue
all
other
estates
.
For
the
choise
of
Christs
birth
&
Incarnation
vnder
the
estate
of
Vnion
,
was
a
prophesie
of
the
Vnion
of
Christs
vniuersal
kingdome
which
was
to
be
ioyned
with
the
earthly
Monarchie
.
The
beginning
of
the
foundation
of
Christs
kingdome
was
in
the
age
of
a
generall
peace
established
by
Augustus
,
who
as
we
learne
by
the
Romane
histories
,
Toto
arbe
pacato
Ianum
clusit
.
did
close
the
Temple
of
Ianus
,
the
whole
world
being
at
peace
.
We
will
lay
before
your
eyes
briefly
,
Sanguis
Martyrum
est
semen
Euangelij
.
The
blood
of
the
Martyrs
is
the
seed
of
the
Gospell
.
So
that
in
this
case
Satan
was
frustrated
of
his
wicked
expectation
that
he
had
to
destroy
the
true
religion
by
the
shedding
of
the
pretious
blood
,
euen
as
he
was
deceiued
when
he
seduced
the
people
of
the
Iewes
to
crucify
the
Lord
of
glory
.
For
if
Satan
had
knowen
,
that
the
crucifying
of
Christ
Iesus
,
and
the
shedding
of
the
bloud
of
that
immaculat
Lambe
should
tend
to
the
saluation
of
mankind
,
and
of
his
revnion
with
God
,
he
would
not
then
haue
instigated
the
Iewes
to
crucifie
the
Lord
of
glory
;
and
if
he
had
knowen
that
the
bloudshed
of
so
manie
holie
Martyrs
which
were
killed
,
for
the
space
of
three
hundred
yeeres
after
Christ
,
by
the
Romane
Emperors
,
and
their
lieutenants
;
if
he
had
imagined
,
that
all
these
things
did
more
establish
,
and
confirme
Christs
Gospell
,
then
they
did
hinder
the
passage
thereof
,
he
would
haue
left
of
to
haue
procured
so
many
persecutions
against
the
Christians
.
All
these
persecutions
being
ended
,
Constantius
Chlorus
,
(
who
had
to
his
part
of
the
Romane
Monarchie
,
Germanie
,
France
,
Spaine
,
and
great
Brittaine
)
and
Helena
daughter
to
Coilus
or
Coelus
,
who
was
King
ouer
that
part
of
Brittaine
,
that
did
resist
the
Romans
;
by
the
which
mariage
Constantinus
Magnus
their
sonne
was
borne
in
this
Iland
,
who
after
the
death
of
his
father
that
died
at
Yorke
,
We
doe
learne
by
this
historie
,
how
the
propheticall
signification
of
the
name
Britannia
,
was
fulfilled
in
Constantinus
daies
,
in
whose
person
,
both
the
temporall
kingdome
of
the
whole
world
,
and
the
spirituall
kingdome
of
the
true
Religion
of
God
,
was
vnited
.
Of
this
we
collect
,
that
the
restoring
of
this
auncient
and
glorious
name
of
Great
Britannie
into
one
kingdome
,
vnder
our
newe
Constantinus
,
is
to
be
embraced
by
all
men
with
great
congratulation
and
gladnesse
.
Secondly
,
Constantinus
Magnus
daies
.
Let
vs
all
then
call
to
memorie
three
great
blessings
,
Constantinus
Magnus
a
Britaine
Emperour
,
in
whose
raigne
God
did
vnite
the
earthly
kingdome
with
the
spirituall
.
The
third
blessing
is
this
last
admirable
Vnion
of
the
South
and
the
North
in
one
kingdome
,
vnder
one
King
and
gouernour
,
in
the
true
Religion
and
worship
of
God
,
by
the
which
Vnion
this
Iland
is
in
the
most
happy
estate
of
all
the
kingdomes
of
the
world
.
God
giue
vs
all
thankefull
harts
to
acknowledge
the
same
.
I
will
entreate
all
the
subiects
of
Great
Britaine
,
to
lay
before
their
eyes
,
the
blessed
estate
of
the
Vnion
of
this
Iland
,
in
one
language
,
one
true
Religion
,
and
in
one
temporall
kingdome
:
And
on
the
other
part
,
looke
what
was
the
miserable
and
lamentable
estate
of
this
Iland
,
during
the
space
that
it
was
diuided
into
many
earthly
kingdomes
,
and
holding
vnder
the
spirituall
captiuitie
of
the
Idolatrie
of
spirituall
Babylon
.
And
for
this
cause
remember
the
history
of
the
diuision
,
and
ciuill
warres
of
the
Romane
Monarchie
,
how
they
did
draw
their
souldiers
and
warriours
out
of
this
Iland
,
and
marke
,
at
that
same
time
,
what
a
desolate
and
miserable
estate
both
the
spirituall
and
temporall
kingdome
did
fall
into
.
For
the
North
Britaines
did
rise
vp
in
warre
against
the
South
Britaines
,
who
for
their
aide
and
helpe
had
refuge
to
the
Saxons
,
who
did
professe
Gentilisme
and
Paganisme
.
But
the
Saxons
hauing
deliuered
the
South
Britaines
from
the
oppression
of
the
North
,
Let
the
consideration
of
felicitie
,
Tollantur
à
nobis
nomina
diuisionis
,
Let
all
the
names
of
diuision
or
discord
be
taken
from
amongst
vs
.
Let
vs
also
learne
by
these
histories
of
the
Vnion
,
and
diuision
of
kingdomes
,
a
very
sure
rule
(
as
I
shewed
you
a
little
before
)
that
the
diuision
of
countries
in
diuerse
kingdomes
doth
come
from
the
head
Gouernours
,
who
by
deuiding
of
one
kingdome
made
many
kingdomes
,
as
we
see
in
the
first
diuision
of
the
world
,
and
specially
in
the
diuision
of
the
kingdome
of
the
Israelites
;
In
the
third
Monarchie
of
the
Greekes
amongst
the
foure
successours
of
Alexander
;
In
the
dissolution
of
the
Romane
Empire
into
the
Orient
and
the
Occident
:
In
the
subdiuision
of
the
kingdome
of
Carolus
Magnus
,
in
the
Occident
;
In
the
subdiuision
of
Spaine
,
into
many
kingdomes
.
In
the
diuision
of
this
Iland
,
into
many
kingdomes
.
So
that
the
cause
of
diuision
ceasing
by
the
Vnion
of
kingdomes
,
the
people
was
vnited
ipso
iure
&
ipso
facto
,
as
Fraunce
was
(
during
the
first
race
of
Kings
called
Meroninges
)
deuided
amongst
foure
brethren
into
foure
Kingdomes
:
but
so
soone
as
all
those
foure
fell
in
one
Kings
hands
,
they
were
all
vnited
ipso
facto
,
in
one
,
ratione
capitis
,
by
reason
of
their
head
.
Likewise
,
we
haue
an
example
in
Spaine
,
and
in
South
Britannie
,
when
the
seauen
kingdomes
did
fall
in
one
Princes
gouernment
,
they
were
all
seauen
vnited
ipso
facto
,
ratione
capitis
,
by
reason
of
the
head
:
Euen
so
,
pari
iure
the
South
and
North
,
being
vnited
vnder
one
King
,
it
followeth
necessarily
that
the
Kingdomes
are
vnited
amongst
themselues
:
so
that
by
the
Law
of
God
and
man
our
Great
Britannie
is
no
more
two
kingdomes
,
but
one
onely
;
He
that
opposeth
himselfe
against
this
holy
Vnion
,
doth
offend
his
God
,
make
little
regard
of
his
Prince
and
King
,
and
hurteth
the
welfare
and
happy
state
of
this
whole
Iland
.
Let
all
men
remember
by
the
foresaid
examples
,
that
the
Vnion
of
kingdomes
hath
beene
alwaies
the
furtherance
and
standing
of
true
Religion
;
but
diuision
of
kingdomes
hath
beene
the
ouerthrow
of
true
Religion
,
and
aduancing
of
Idolatrie
;
let
all
those
that
loue
God
,
perseuerance
in
true
Religion
,
prosperitie
of
their
naturall
King
,
and
standing
of
the
Common-wealth
of
this
Iland
,
(
which
is
the
common
mother
of
vs
all
)
be
carefull
of
the
performance
of
Gods
worke
,
and
put
to
their
helping
hand
for
the
furtherance
thereof
.
And
let
all
reasonable
and
godly
men
consider
,
how
God
on
his
part
hath
taken
away
from
vs
,
all
the
causes
of
diuision
,
as
diuersitie
of
Language
,
Religion
,
Gouernours
,
and
Kings
,
and
hath
vnited
vs
in
one
Language
,
in
one
Religion
,
and
vnder
one
head
and
King
.
If
we
then
cast
in
any
lets
or
impediments
on
our
side
;
or
if
we
inuent
any
new
subiect
of
diuision
betwixt
the
South
and
the
North
,
we
shall
be
like
vnto
those
that
doe
diuide
,
teare
,
and
cut
in
peeces
their
owne
bowels
,
deuoure
their
owne
children
,
and
put
fire
in
their
owne
houses
.
Let
all
men
therefore
examine
their
owne
harts
and
minds
,
