A
short
line
how
to
leuell
your
life
.
WHen
thou
risest
,
let
thy
thoughts
ascend
,
that
grace
may
descend
:
and
if
thou
canst
not
weepe
for
thy
sinnes
,
then
weepe
,
because
thou
canst
not
weepe
.
Remember
that
Prayer
is
the
wing
wherewith
thy
soule
flieth
to
heauen
;
and
Meditation
the
eye
wherewith
we
see
God
;
and
Repentance
the
Supersedea●
that
dischargeth
all
bond
of
sinne
.
Let
thy
sacrifice
be
an
innocent
heart
:
offer
it
dayly
a●
set
houres
,
with
that
deuotion
that
well
it
may
shew
,
thou
both
knowest
and
acknowledgest
his
greatnesse
before
whom
thou
art
.
So
carrie
thy selfe
as
woorthie
of
his
presence
.
Where
thou
owest
,
pay
duetie
:
where
thou
findest
,
returne
curtesie
:
where
thou
art
knowen
,
deserue
loue
.
Desire
the
best
:
disdaine
none
,
but
euill
companie
.
Grieue
but
be
not
angrie
at
discourtesies
.
Redresse
,
but
reuenge
no
wrongs
.
Yet
so
remember
pitie
,
as
you
forget
not
decencie
.
Let
your
attire
be
such
,
as
may
satisfie
a
curious
eye
;
and
yet
beare
witnesse
of
a
sober
minde
.
Arme
your selfe
with
that
modestie
,
that
may
silenc●
that
vntemperate
tongue
,
and
controll
that
vnchaste
eye
,
●hat
shall
aime
at
passion
.
Be
mindfull
of
things
past
;
Carefull
of
things
present
;
Prouident
of
things
to
come
.
Goe
as
you
would
be
met
.
Sir
as
you
would
be
found
.
Speake
as
you
would
be
heard
:
And
when
you
goe
to
bed
,
read
ouer
the
carriage
of
your selfe
that
day
.
Reforme
that
is
amisse
;
and
giue
God
thanks
for
that
which
is
orderly
:
and
so
commit
thy selfe
to
him
that
keepes
thee
.
Teach
me
O
Lord
to
number
my
daies
,
and
to
order
my
life
after
this
thy
direction
.

Amortified

LEt
him
that

for
that
which

It
is
the

that
is
the
touchstone
of
faults
committed
:
and
the
guilt
which
securitie

a

A

And

and

thy selfe
,
from
whence
thou
camest

where

for
thou

where

where

enuironed

where
if

if

will

:
in
a
world
of

,
where
enuy
breaketh

,

sundreth

.
A
wretched
world
,
the
den
of
wretchednesse
.
Deform'd
with
filth
and
foule
iniquitie
,
A
wretched
world
,
the
house
of
heauinesse
,
Fild
with
the
wreaks
of
mortall
miserie
.
O
wretched
world
,
and
all
that
is
therein
,
The
vassals
of
Gods
wrath
,
and
slaues
to
sinne
.
Thou
hast
a
silly
,
poore
,
yet
powerfull
soule
,
a
soule
of
noble
substance
,
of
exceeding
beautie
,
inspired
by
God
the
Father
;
redeemed
by
God
the
Sonne
;
sanctified
by
God
the
holy
Ghost
:
this
is
the
careful
charge
committed
to
thy
charge
to
keepe
hir
.
Where
wilt
thou
finde
security
for
hir
,
Which
did
in
former
time
Gods
image
beare
?
And
was
at
first
,
faire
,
good
,
and
spotlesse
pure
.
But
since
with
sinnes
hir
beauties
blotted
weare
,
Doth
of
all
sights
hir
owne
sight
least
indure
.
But
now
exiled
from
hir-selfe
,
and
as
a
widow
depriued
of
hir
espoused
fellowship
,
committed
to
thy
safe
conduct
where
wilt
thou
secure
hir
?
in
heauen
the
angels
fell
in
God●
presence
:
in
paradice
Adam
fell
from
a
place
of
pleasure
in
the
world
Iudas
fell
in
the
schoole
of
Christ
:
and
if
tho●
sufferest
hir
to
fall
,
the
fals
to
eternall
perdition
,
for
th●
sword
of
Gods
iustice
hangeth
alwaies
ouer
our
soules
rea●die
for
our
sinnes
to
diuide
vs
from
eternall
blisse
.
Since
haruest
neuer
failes
,
but
euer
must
,
Be
torturd
with
the
racke
of
his
owne
frame
:
For
he
that
holds
no
faith
,
shall
finde
no
trust
,
But
sowing
wrong
,
is
sure
to
reape
Gods
blame
.
Let
the
foore
of
him
that
sits
vpon
the
rainbow
be
thy
arke
of
securitie
in
this
deluge
of
miseries
;
be
not
like
the
vncleane
Crow
,
that
can
finde
footing
on
euery
carion
,
with
little
care
to
returne
againe
:
but
rather
imitate
the
innocent
Doue
,
that
lothing
abode
without
this
arke
,
can
finde
no
rest
;
and
with
the
wings
of
a
longing
desire
and
penitent
heart
,
flicker
at
the
window
of
this
arke
,
till
thy
heauenly
Noah
put
out
his
mercifull
hand
to
take
thee
in
.
For
when
the
soule
sindes
here
no
true
content
,
And
like
Noahs
Doue
can
no
sure
footing
take
:
She
doth
returne
from
whence
she
first
was
sent
,
And
flies
to
him
that
first
hir
wings
did
make
.
Let
hir
not
drinke
of
the
fluds
of
the
vanities
of
this
life
,
but
as
the
dogs
doe
of
the
riuer
Nilus
,
that
drinke
running
,
least
while
they
stay
to
take
a
full
draught
,
they
be
stung
with
scorpions
:
for
she
liues
in
thy
bodie
no
otherwise
than
as
a
lazar
on
his
death
bed
,
vncertaine
of
life
,
but
in
apparent
danger
of
endlesse
death
;
within
she
makes
her
solace
full
of
sadnesse
:
hir
hope
full
of
hazard
,
and
all
hir
waies
strowed
with
Coccatrice
egges
,
faire
without
,
and
foule
within
,
make
hir
carefull
of
hir
steps
.
Thou
hast
the
example
of
Christ
:
which
way
wilt
thou
goe
?
he
is
the
Way
:
whither
wilt
thou
goe
?
he
is
the
Trueth
:
where
wilt
thou
stay
?
he
is
the
Life
.
If
this
Way
lead
thee
thorow
austere
passages
;
if
this
Trueth
teach
thee
true
contrition
:
if
this
Life
be
not
atchieued
but
with
a
dolefull
pilgrimage
;
for
where
doest
thou
reade
that
Christ
laughed
?
then
Woe
be
to
you
that
laugh
,
for
you
shall
mourne
:
and
happy
are
you
that
lament
,
for
you
shall
be
comforted
.
CHAP.
III.
A
patheticall
speech
of
the
person
of
Diues
in
the
torments
of
hell
.
O
Death
,
how
sudden
was
thy
arrest
vnto
me
?
how
vnexpected
?
while
my
bodie
was
strong
,
while
my
intrals
were
full
of
fat
,
and
my
bones
were
watered
with
marrow
;
while
I
had
rest
in
my
substance
,
and
peace
in
my
riches
;
in
one
night
my
soule
was
taken
from
me
,
and
all
my
joy
was
turned
into
mourning
.
Like
as
the
sacred
one
that
carelesse
stands
,
With
gilded
hornes
,
and
slowrie
garlands
crownd
,
Proud
of
his
dying
honour
and
deare
bands
,
Whilst
theaters
fume
with
frankensence
around
:
All
suddenly
with
mortall
blow
astond
,
Doth
groueling
fall
,
and
with
his
steeming
gore
,
Distaine
the
pillars
and
the
holy
ground
,
And
the
faire
flowers
that
decked
him
afore
,
So
downe
I
fell
on
wordlesse
precious
shore
.
I
saw
my
friends
forsake
me
in
a
moment
:
I
felt
how
hard
a
thing
it
was
to
seuer
two
such
old
acquaintances
as
my
soule
and
bodie
:
I
wanted
no
view
of
the
vanities
wherein
I
had
delighted
.
On
the
one
side
hung
a
register
of
my
sinnes
committed
;
on
the
other
side
lay
a
catalogue
of
good
deeds
omitted
:
within
me
boiled
my
conscience
confessing
and
accusing
me
:
Before
me
stood
the
iudgements
of
God
denounced
against
sinne
so
mustered
in
ranke
,
as
I
might
well
perceiue
my
dangers
were
certaine
,
and
destruction
imminent
.
In
this
extasie
while
I
desired
but
one
houres
delay
,
I
was
caried
with
a
motion
Torrenti
simili
,
as
swift
as
the
torrent
before
the
tribunall
seat
of
God
.
Vnder
whose
feet
,
subiected
to
his
grace
,
Sat
Nature
,
Fortune
,
Motion
,
Tyme
and
Place
.
To
this
tribunall
seate
attended
me
my
euill
works
,
where
Christ
shewing
himselfe
,
laid
open
vnto
me
the
benefits
he
had
bestowed
vpon
me
,
the
rewards
he
promised
me
,
the
torments
he
suffred
for
me
;
all
which
the
diuell
confessing
,
concluded
me
to
be
his
;
for
that
though
he
neuer
loued
me
'
,
yet
I
serued
him
,
though
hee
neuer
gratified
me
,
yet
I
obeied
him
,
without
wooing
he
wan
me
,
performing
what
he
suggested
,
embracing
what
he
preferred
,
affecting
euerie
thing
he
cast
in
my
way
,
all
which
my
conscience
acknowledging
,
censured
me
to
this
bottomlesse
depth
,
to
this
profound
lake
,
to
this
sinke
of
the
world
,
whither
all
the
afflictions
and
vnpleasant
things
in
the
world
draine
and
vnite
themselues
to
take
reuenge
of
sinne
.
A
deadly
gulfe
where
nought
but
rubbish
growes
,
Which
vp
on
th'
aire
such
stinking
vapour
throwes
,
That
ouer
there
may
flie
no
bird
but
dies
,
Chok't
with
the
pestilent
sauours
that
arise
.
To
this
Chaos
of
confusion
,
to
this
Well
of
perdition
wherein
I
am
coarcted
,
to
this
burning
lake
of
fire
and
brimstone
wherein
I
lie
burning
,
but
not
consuming
;
lamenting
,
but
not
pitied
;
where
vomit
out
the
riches
which
I
deuoured
;
in
paine
,
without
ease
;
in
torture
without
intermission
;
where
my
lasciuious
eies
are
afflicted
with
most
vgly
and
fearefull
sights
of
griesely
diuels
;
my
eares
that
once
were
delicate
,
are
laden
now
with
the
hideous
noise
of
damned
spirits
;
my
nose
that
once
was
daintie
,
is
cloied
with
the
stinke
of
vnsupportable
filth
;
my
taste
that
sometimes
was
curious
,
and
surfeited
with
plentie
,
is
now
tormented
with
want
;
my
imagination
is
vexed
with
apprehension
of
paines
present
;
my
memory
grieued
with
the
losse
of
pleasures
past
;
my
vnderstanding
affected
with
the
consideration
of
felicitie
lost
,
and
miserie
found
.
Thus
comparing
senses
pleasure
with
incumbent
ioy
,
I
finde
my
ioies
abortiue
,
perisht
ere
they
bud
,
my
paines
euerlasting
,
during
beyond
eternitie
.
Your
fond
preferments
are
but
childrens
toyes
.
And
as
a
shadow
all
your
pleasures
passe
.
As
yeeres
increase
,
so
wauing
are
your
ioyes
.
Your
blesse
is
brittle
,
like
a
broken
glasse
,
Or
as
a
tale
of
that
which
neuer
was
.
Wherefore
as
one
past
cure
,
deiected
beyond
hope
of
redemption
into
endlesse
perdition
,
rather
condoling
my
misfortune
,
than
expostulating
my
mishap
whereof
my selfe
was
authour
,
I
call
to
you
,
the
glory
of
your
age
,
the
meat
of
time
,
who
proud
in
your
errours
,
tread
the
path
of
worldly
pleasures
,
wherein
I
was
impathed
:
Frustra
,
ô
frustra
haec
aliò
properanti
.
What
in
this
life
we
haue
or
can
desire
,
Hath
time
of
growth
,
and
moment
of
retire
.
So
feeble
is
mans
state
as
sure
it
will
not
stand
,
Till
it
disordered
be
from
earthly
band
.
It
was
a
condition
annexed
to
our
Creation
:
Intrasti
v●exires
,
thou
wert
borne
to
die
.
Nothing
more
sure
than
thy
dissolution
:
no
time
more
vncertaine
than
thy
time
of
separation
.
Be
alwaies
readie
to
preuent
that
enemie
,
that
is
alwaies
in
readinesse
to
take
aduantage
.
Qui

Who

death

shall
neue●
after

inherit
eternall
life
Let
euery
one
do
all
the
good
he
can
:
For
neuer
commeth
ill
of
doing
well
.
Though
iust
reward
it
wants
here
now
and
than
,
Yet
shame
and
euill
death
it
doth
expell
.
Miser

Wretched
is
he
that
thinks
by
doing
ill
,
His
euill
deeds
long
to
conceale
and
hide
:
For
though
the
voice
and
tongues
of
men
be
still
,
By
fowles
and
beasts
his
sin
shal
be
descride
.
And
God
oft
worketh
by
his
secret
will
,
That
sinne
it selfe
the
sinner
so
doth
guide
,
That
of
his
owne
accord
,
without
request
,
He
makes
his
wicked
doings
manifest
.
Shame
followes
sinne
neuer
so
closely
done
:
Shame
alwayes
ends
,
what
wickenesse
begun
.
Hoc

The
carriage
of
thy selfe
in
this
life
,
is
the
beame
whereof
thy
welfare
for
euer
dependeth
.
Deferre
not
thy
amendment
:
God
is
best
when
soonest
wrought
,
Lingring

do
come

nought
.
O
suffer
not

to
steale

Whose

Make

Encline
your

to
doe
good
:
for
the

thereof
is

:
for

Omission

Let

SWeet
(
saith

is
the
end
to
the

willingly
doth
the
traueller
question
about
his
Inne
:
often
casteth
the
hireling
when
his

will
come
out
:
the
woman
great
with
childe
will
often
muse
of
her
deliuerie
:
and
he
that
knowes
his
life
is
but
a
way
to
death
,
will
sit
vpon
the
thresholde
with
the
poore

expecting
to

to
be
let
out
of
so
lothsome
a

,
looking
for
death
without

,
desiring
it
with
delight
,
and
accepting
it
with
deuotion
.
For
what
's
the
life
of
man
,
but
euen
a
tragedie
,
Full
of
sad
sighes
,
and
sore
catastrophes
?
First
comming
to

with

,
Where
all
his
dayes
like
dolorous
trophes

Are
heapt
with
spoiles
of

.
For
it
is
onely
death
that
vnlooseth
the

,
and
sets

free
from
our
domesticall
enemie

It

the

Our

By

Straight

It

where
our

is
without

our

without

,
where
our
teares
shall
be
turned
into
triumph
,
our

into
ioy
,
and
all
our

into
perfit
felicitie

Death
is
the
salue
that
ceaseth
all
annoy

Death
is
the
port
by
which
we
passe

ioy
.
It
is
for
brutes
to
feare
death
,
whose
end
of
life
is
conclusion
of
their
being
.
It
is
for
Epicures
to
feare
death
,
whose
death
is
the
beginning
of
their
damnation
.
It
is
for
such

to

to

griefe

for
such

to

for

to
looke

a
damnable
decease
:
but
the
good
man
that
did
sowe
in
teares
,
by
death
shall
reape
in
ioy
;
for
his
iudge
is
he
who
knowes
our
weaknesse
,
and
will
acknowledge
our
infirmities
:
his
accusers
are
made
dumbe
by
former
repentance
;
his
conscience
is
cleared
by
former
confession
;
hope
is
his
staffe
,
to
keepe
him
from
sliding
;
grace
is
his
guide
,
to
keepe
him
from
erring
;
faith
his

,
to
strengthen
his
resolution
:
and
what
doth
he
ose

but
fraile
and
tickle
life
,
a

that

,
a

a

a

like

Whose

Stooping

What

where

and
made

What

beautified

ordeined

what

The

So

So

he

his

So
that

The

Mercy

Iustice.
THere
be
two
feet
whereon
God
walketh
on
the
hearts
of
men
;
Mercie
and
Trueth
,
which
a
sinner
must
fall
downe
with
Marie
and
kisse
,
that
in
respect
of
Gods
Iustice
we
may
reteine
feare
,
and
in
regard
of
his
Mercie
conceiue
hope
:
for
all
the
waies
of
God
are
Mercie
and
Truth
;
Mercie
,
that
we
may
not
despaire
,
and
Trueth
,
that
we
may
not
presume
.
O
who
shall
shew
the
countenance
and
gestures
,
Of
Mercie
and
Iustice
,
which
faire
sacred
sisters
With
equall
poize
doe
euer
ballance
euen

Th'
vnchaunging
proiects
of

Th'

sterne
of
looke
,
th'
other
milde
aspecting
,
Th'
one
pleasd
with
teares
,
th'
other
blood
affecting
.
Th'
one
beares
the
sword
of
vengeance
vnrelenting
,
Th'
other
brings
pardon
for
the
true
repenting
.
Because
God
is
mercifull
,
wilt
thou
build
a
nest
of
sinne
,
as
the
Psalmist
saith
,
vpon
his
backe
?
thou
canst
not
seuer
his
Mercie
from
his
Iustice
,
and
then
Iustice
will
sentence
,
Tarditatem
poenae
,
grauitate
supplicij
.
Is
God
a
iust
God
,
a
terrible
God
,
into
whose
hands
it
is
a
horrible
thing
to
fall
?
Thou
canst
not
separate
his
Iustice
from
his
Mercie
:
she
wil
proclaime
Misericordiam
Dei
super
omnia
opera
sua
,
his
mercy
exalteth
hirselfe
aboue
his
iudgements
,
Vult

homines
saluos
sieri

He
that
can
that
he
will
,
will
not
the
death
of
one
sinner
,
but
that
he
may
turne
from
his
wickednesse
and
liue
for
euer
:
he
offreth
his
mercy
to
all
,
but
neuer
vseth
his
iustice
but
vpon
necessitie
.
I
will
sing
vnto
thee
,
ô
Lord
,
mercy
and
trueth
together
,
not
mercy
alone
,
as
not
fearing
thy
iudgements
,
nor
trueth
alone
,
as
despairing
in
thy
mercies
:
but
thy
mercies
shall
breed
a
loue
,
and
thy
iudgements
shall
make
me
feare
to
impath
my selfe
in
the
way
of
sinners
.
For
hope
of
helpe
still
comfort
giues
,
While

IT
is
well
obserued
by
one
,
That
the
rodde
of
the
roote
of
Iesse
flowred
,
that
the
sweetnesse
of
the
flower
might
mittigate
the
seueritie
of
the
the
rodde
.
The
diuell
is
neuer
suffred
to
punish
vs
farther
then
is
for
our
benefit
:
for
either
he
corrects
vs
●or
our
former
offences
,
or
else
to
preuent
our
future
infirmities
.
Neither
is
euery
one
that
spareth
,
a
friend
,
nor
euery
one
that
striketh
an
enemie
:
but
the
words
of
a
friend
are
better
then
the
flatterings
of
a
foe
,
and
he
that
loues
with
austeritie
,
is
better
then
he
that
killes
with
delicacie
.
It
is
the
diuels
common
course
to
kill
our
soule
,
while
he
flatters
our
fancie
.
For
as
the
theefe
that
can
not
by
open
violence
catch
his
bootie
,
seeketh
by
shrowding
himselfe
in
valleies
and
bushes
to
take
the
trauellers
vnprouided
:
so
the
diuell
,
when
by
open
pursuit
he
can
not
preuaile
,
he
coutcheth
himselfe
in
briers
and
shadowes
of
worldly
vanities
,
entrapping
vs
before
we
preuent
his
traines
.
For
albeit
with
a
smooth
flight
and
euen
wing
he
lessen
himselfe
into
the
clouds
,
as
an
eagle
delighted
to
view
the
sunne
:
yet
is
he
but
a
rauening
kite
,
soaring
in
the
aire
,
the
better
to
see
how
to
seaze
vpon
his
pray
.
God
borroweth
not
the
Syrens
voice
,
when
he
would
sting
with
a
Scorpions
taile
,
and
when
he
bites
with
the
tooth
of
a
lion
,
he
vseth
not
the
teares
of
a
crocodill
,
but
as
the
husbandman
lops
his
vine
least
the
iuice
should
be
spent
in
leaues
:
so
least
our
mindes
should
be
imploied
in
vaine
and
superfluous
pleasures
;
our
wits
which
without
profit
would
be
diffused
,
are
by
him
kept
in
compasse
by
tribulation
.
For
where
he
purposeth
to
heale
,
he
spareth
not
to
launce
:
and
if
he
see
thou
be
fostered
by
the
world
thy
naturall
nurse
,
he
can
annoint
hir
teate
with
the
bitternesse
of
discontent
,
to
weane
thee
from
hir
:
for
he
that
bindes
the
franticke
,
and
awakes
the
lethargee
,
is
troublesome
,
but
friendly
to
both
.
If
ought
can
touch
vs
ought
,
afflictions
lookes
Makes
vs
to
looke
into
our selues
so
neere
,
Teach
vs
to
know
our selues
beyond
all
bookes
,
Or
all
the
learned
schooles
that
euer
were
.
This
makes
our
senses
quicke
,
and
reason
cleare
,
Resolues
our
will
,
and
rectifies
our
thoughts
,
So
doe
the
windes
and
thunder
clense
the
aire
,
So
lopt
and
pruned
tries
do
flourish
faire
.
Be
not
discouraged
;
thou
art
a
Christian
,
whose
captaine
is
a
Crucifixe
,
whose
standard
the
Crosse
,
whose
armour
Patience
,
whose
battell
Persecution
,
whose
victorie
Death
.
Whether
God
fostreth
thee
as
a
weakling
,
or
exercise
thee
as
one
stronger
,
or
checke
thee
as
one
vnruly
;
yet
he
tendreth
all
as
his
owne
children
.
Behold
thy
Sauiour
with
his
head
full
of
thornes
,
his
eies
full
of
teares
,
his
eares
full
or
blasphemies
,
his
mouth
full
of
gal
,
his
body
full
of
wounds
,
his
heart
full
of
sorrow
;
and
blame
him
not
,
if
ere
thou
find
him
,
he
giue
thee
a
sippe
of
the
chalice
whereof
be
drunke
so
full
a
cuppe
.
Thy
loue
must
be
great
,
when
his
sorrow
is
more
at
thy
ingratitude
,
then
at
his
owne
affliction
,
when
he
lost
himselfe
to
winne
thee
:
a
worke
without
example
,
a
grace
beyond
merite
,
a
charitie
surpassing
measure
.
Wherefore
whether
he
set
thee
to
seeke
him
in
the
pouerty
of
the
crib
and
manger
,
or
in
the
agony
of
his
bloody
sweat
in
the
garden
,
or
in
the
middest
of
reproches
and
false
accusations
before
the
tribunall
,
or
in
the
torments
of
a
shamefull
death
;
yet
thinke
thy selfe
as
deepe
in
his
fauour
fo●
be●ng
tried
by
the
torments
of
his
passion
,
as
those
that
ar●

.

That
feare
to
die
is
the
effect
of
an
euill
life
.
IOhannes
Patriarch
of
Alexandria
,
whose
fre●quent
deeds
of
charity
gaue
him
this
Ep●●thete
,
to
be
called
Iohannes
Eleemosynarit●
hauing
his
tombe
in
building
,
gaue
his
pe●●ple
in
charge
,
that
it
should
be
left
vnfin●●shed
,
and
that
euerie
day
one
should
〈◊〉
him
in
minde
to
perfect
it
.
His
meaning
was
,
that
by
th●
meanes
hauing
his
thoughts
fixed
of
the
doore
of
death
,
〈◊〉
might
the
better
prepare
himselfe
for
the
passage
throu●●
it
.
The
Pope
that
day
he
is
chosen
,
hath
one
comes
to
〈◊〉
with
foure
marble
stones
,
as
patterns
to
choose
of
which
his
tomble
shall
be
built
.
He
that
raketh
vp
vertue
in
the
●shes
of
the
memorie
of
death
,
shall
finde
hir
force
so
vni●ed
,
that
when
they
come
to
be
vnraked
,
they
shall
finde
that
hir
heate
will
so
encourage
vs
,
that
when
our
soule
fin●eth
a
vent
to
mount
vp
to
hir
naturall
Sphere
,
she
will
●lame
in
the
firmament
,
and
shine
most
oriently
to
our
ex●essiue
comfort
,
and
hir
Creators
inestimable
glorie
:
for
he
whose
life
was
a
studie
to
die
,
well
knowes
that
death
hath
●ost
his
tartenesse
by
passing
through
the
veines
of
life
:
he
●eares
not
his
cold
sweats
,
nor
forgoing
gripes
,
but
taketh
●hem
as
throwes
in
childe-bed
,
by
which
our
soule
is
●rought
out
of
a
lothsome
body
into
eternall
felicitie
.
He
●eares
not
the
diuels
,
whose
temptations
he
hath
valiantly
●esisted
:
the
graue
is
no
horror
to
him
,
for
he
knowes
he
●wes
the
body
in
corruption
to
reape
it
againe
in
immor●litie
.
He
that
liueth
well
,
shall
make
a
good
end
,
and
in
●he
day
of
death
his
decease
shall
be
blessed
,
for
he
rest●om
his
labours
,
and
his
works
doe
follow
him
.
But
to
him
●●at
liueth
ill
,
death
is
an
euer
dying
death
:
he
lies
tormen●●d
with
the
pangues
of
the
dying
flesh
,
amazed
with
the
●orrosiue
fittes
of
the
minde
,
frighted
with
terror
of
that
is
●
come
,
grieued
with
remorse
of
that
which
is
past
,
stung
●●th
the
gnawing
of
a
guiltie
conscience
,
terrified
with
the
rigor
of
a
seuere
iudge
,
vexed
with
approch
of
a
lothsome
sepulchre
.
They
made
their
prison
their
paradise
,
their
bellie
their
God
,
their
appetite
their
guide
:
so
sowing
sinne
,
they
reape
miserie
,
traffiking
vanities
,
they
gaine
griefe
:
detestable
was
their
life
,
and
damnable
is
their
decease
.
Absit

That
affliction
is
the
coate
of
a
Christian.
IF
we
be
Christians
,
asfliction
is
our
coat
,
and
the
Crosse
our
cognizance
,
In
hoc
signo
vinces
:
Christs
clouts
comfort
not
those
that
walke
in
side
robes
.
The
stable
and
manger
are
no
refreshings
to
such
as
loue
the
highest
roomes
in
the
Synagogue
.
Our
arke
lieth
not
in
papilionibus
,
but
in
praesepio
.
If
we
be
members
of
that
head
which
was
prickt
with
thornes
,
let
the
rest
of
the
parts
sympathize
with
it
:
let
the
Mount
Caluarie
be
our
schoole
,
the
crosse
our
pulpit
,
the
crucifixe
our
meditation
,
his
wounds
our
letters
,
his
lashes
our
commaes
,
his
nailes
our
full-points
,
his
open
side
our
booke
,
and
Scire
Christum
crucifixum
,
our
whole
lesson
.
By
his
nakednesse
,
learne
to
clothe
thee
;
by
his
crowne
of
thornes
,
how
to
adorne
thee
;
by
his
vinegre
and
gall
,
how
to
diet
thee
;
by
his
praying
for
him
murderers
,
how
to
reuenge
thee
;
by
his
hanging
on
the
crosse
,
how
to
●epose
thee
.
Heere
learne
,
that
death
reuiueth
,
sorow
solaceth
,
an
ecclipse
enlighteneth
;
that
out
of
the
deuourer
there
came
meat
,
and
out
of
the
stronger
issueth
sweetnesse
.
And
since
our
sinnes
(
like
fierce
Samsons
)
haue
murdered
the
lion
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
let
our
repentant
thoughts
(
like
bees
)
sucke
at
the
flowers
of
his
passion
,
and
make
hony
to
delight
our selues
and
prouoke
others
.
Let
vs
seeke
Christ
,
not
inter
cognatos
&
natos
,
nor
with
the
spouse
in
the
Canticles
,
in
lectulo
meo
quaesiui
quem
amaui
,
nor
with
them
in
Osee
,
that
looke
him
in
gregibus
&
armentis
;
but
seeke
him
with
Moses
in
the
desert
,
with
Daniel
in
a
firy
throne
.
His
delight
is
to
see
Nineue
in
sackcloth
,
Iob
on
the
dunghill
;
he
expects
a
perfect
demonstration
of
a
seruiceable
minde
,
for
an
Eamus
&
nos
,
vt
moriamur
cum
illo
:
for
losse
of
felicitie
searcheth
the
force
of
affection
.
It
is
neither
prosperitie
that
tries
a
friend
,
nor
aduersitie
that
concealeth
an
enemie
.
This
is
that
true
God
that
chiefe
life
,
in
whom
,
by
whom
,
and
from
whom
all
things
doe
flow
,
from
whom
to
reuolt
is
to
fall
,
to
whom
to
returne
is
to
rise
,
in
whom
to
stay
is
to
stand
sure
,
from
whom
to
depart
is
to
die
,
to
whom
to
repaire
is
to
reuiue
,
in
whom
to
dwell
is
to
liue
:
that
God
whom
none
loseth
but
deceiued
,
none
seeketh
but
admonished
,
none
findeth
but
are
cleansed
,
what
euer
is
not
of
God
is
not
good
:
giue
me
thy selfe
,
&
take
all
things
els
from
me
.

A
theme
to
thinke
on
.
COnsidera
,
ô
homo
,
Quid
es
in
natura
,
Quis
in
persona
,
Qualis
in

.
Consider
,
ô
man
,
what
thou
art
in
nature
,
who
thou
art
in
person
,
what
an
one
thou
art
in
life
:
for
thou
art
not
in
nature
as
a
stone
hauing
onely
being
,
nor
as
a
plant
hauing
onely
being
and
growing
,
nor
as
a
brute
hauing
onely
being
,
growing
,
and
sense
;
but
as
a
man
who
to
these
imperfections
hath
the
perfection
of
a
liuing
soule
added
.
This
soul
's
a
substance
and
a
reall
thing
,
Which
hath
it selfe
an
actuall
worke
in
night
,
But
neither
from
the
senses
power
doth
spring
,
Nor
from
the
bodies
humours
tempered
right
:
It
God
himselfe
doth
in
the
bodie
make
,
And
man
from
this
the
name
of
man
doth
take
.
And
the
same
God
that
created
thee
of
nothing
,
preserues
thee
from
all
things
that
might
annoy
thee
;
giues
thee
health
and
plentie
,
and
subiecteth
all
things
to
thy
seruice
,
that
thou
mightst
serue
him
in
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
all
the
dayes
of
thy
life
:
for
if
God
had
not
created
thee
,
thou
hadst
not
beene
at
all
:
if
Christ
had
not
redeemed
thee
,
the
diuell
had
deiected
thee
in
the
fall
of
Adam
:
if
the
Holy
Ghost
should
not
comfort
thee
,
thou
couldest
not
be
preserued
as
thou
art
.
Since
therefore
thou
art
Gods
by
creation
,
redemption
,
and
preseruation
,
looke
what
time
thou
bestowest
out
of
his
seruice
,
thou
stealest
from
him
who
made
it
for
thee
to
serue
him
in
it
,
and
art
a
thiefe
.
If
thou
b●est
more
enamoured
of
any
of
these
blessings
which
he
bestowes
on
thee
to
win
thy
loue
,
than
of
himselfe
,
who
shewes
his
loue
in
bestowing
them
on
thee
,
thou
committest
idolatrie
,
and
art
an
idolater
.
If
thou
bestowest
good
houres
in
ill
actions
,
or
great
blessings
to
bad
purposes
,
thou
committest
treason
,
and
art
a
traitor
.
He
that
preferres
not
God
fore
all
his
race
,
Amongst
the
sonnes
of
God
deserues
no
place
.
Tui
pe
est
benè
natis
male
viuere
,
&
plantatis
benè
peiùs
fructificare
.
Thou
art
created
after
his
owne
image
;
make
no
impression
vnworthy
that
character
.
Pulchra
siut
oportet
quae
ex

,
qui
in
Dei
habitaculum
est
praeparandus
.
Thy
soule
is
the
temple
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
thou
must
not
pollute
it
with
brutish
appetites
,
but
prepare
it
with
gracious
meditations
,
most
fitting
food
wherewithall
to
entertaine
so
heauenly
a
ghest
.
He
hath
made
thee
in
person
erect
,
that
he
might
put
thee
in
mind
to
rectifie
thy
thoughts
and
actions
.
O
leuell
thy
life
to
the
straightnesse
of
the
line
of
thine
owne
portrature
.
Staine
not
the
beautie
of
thy
parts
,
lest
thou
susteine
miserie
in
this
life
with
the
losse
of
eternall
life
:
for
the
stipend
of
sinne
is
death
,
and
the
merit
of
transgression
is
eternall
perdition

O

O

O
Holy
Ghost
that
both
fillest

;
I
am
ashamed
to

because
I

receiued

hauing
neither

that
by
thy

I
may
obtaine

and
by
thy

deserue

Let

The

The

My

Sad
subiect
of

hath
stor'd
my

With
euerlasting
matter
of

:
My

an
endlesse

doe
finde
,
Beyond
the
pangues
that
Ieremie

That

Most

PReserue
my
body
from
eternall
death
,
reserue
my

from
euerlasting
damnation
:
let
me
neither
vngratefully
remember
thy
benefits
,
nor
vngratiously
forget
thy
seuere
iudgements
:
for
albeit
,
there
be
no
folly
which
hath
not
had
his
seat
in
my
minde
,
and
left
his
footstep
in

yet
for
that
thou

that
I

thy

Giue

That

Where

COnforme

For

To

A

Of

With

yet
is
thy

Domine

orationem
meam
.
VOuchsafe
admit
thy
gracious
eares
,
With
milde
regard
for
to
attend
The
prayers
,
that
a
plaining
heart
With
sorowing
sighs
to
thee
doth
send
:
And
let
thereto
,
o
louing
Lord
,
Thy
Iustice
and
thy
Trueth
accord
.
In
rigour
of
thy
righteous
doome
,
O
do
not
scan
thy
seruants
cause
:
For
there
is
none
on
earth
aliue
,
Through
faultlesse
life
freed
from
thy
lawes
.
Then
how
may
I
in
sinfull
plight
,
Seeme
iust
in
thy
all-seeing
sight
!
The
friend
of
sinne
,
the
foe
of
soules
,
Downe
to
the
earth
my
soule
hath
brought
,
Which
to
the
heauen
should
aspire
,
Since
from
the
heauen
it
was
wrought
:
O
raise
it
vp
againe
to
blisse
,
From
earth
and
all
that
earthly
is
.
Amids
the
darke
misse-led
am
I
,
Where
lacke
of
light
sinnes
view
denies
:
I
liue
a
life
more
like
to
death
,
While
dead
from
grace
my
bodie
lies
,
And
where
as
care
through
secret
smart
Sends
anguish
to
afflict
my
hart
.
But
I
(
ô
Lord
)
recall
to
minde
What
thou
hast
done
in
time
before
,
And
how
thy
Iustice
hath
beene
great
,
But
how
thy
Mercy
hath
beene
more
.
Thus
hope
of
helpe
still
comfort
giues
,
While
Mercie
still
with
Iustice
liues
.
My
stretched
hands
to
thee
display
The
ensignes
of
my
yeelding
hart
:
My
soule
,
as
earth
that
water
wants
,
Of
vertues
fruit
can
beare
no
part
.
I
faint
,
send
some
reliefe
of
raine
,
Lest
els
vnfruitfull
I
remaine
.
Thy
face
of
pitie
,
not
of
wrath
,
Turne
not
,
ô
louing
Lord
,
from
me
:
And
let
not
,
Lord
,
my
owne
misdeeds
Haue
lasting
force
to
anger
thee
:
For
so
might
I
compare
my
case
To
theirs
that
furthest
fall
from
grace
.
But
since
my
hope
is
firme
in
thee
,
Let
me
betimes
thy
mercie
haue
,
The
way
of
health
make
knowen
to
me
,
My
feet
from
erring
paths
to
saue
.
Onely
to
thee
my
soule
retires
:
Onely
thy
mercie
it
desires
.
O
free
me
from
my
sinfull
foes
,
To
thee
I
flie
to
be
secure
,
Teach
me
the
lesson
of
thy
will
,
And
let
me
put
it
well
in
vre
.
Thou
art
my
God
,
and
God
of
all
That
for
thy
aide
and
comfort
call
.
Thou
wilt
vouchsafe
to
me
,
ô
Lord
,
Thy
Holy
Spirit
to
be
my
guide
,
My
faith
and
hope
in
thee
is
such
,
And
such
it
ever
shall
ab●de
.
Reuiue
thou
wilt
me
for
thy
name
:
Goodnesse
in
thee
requires
the
same
.
So
that
at
last
by
thee
,
ô
God
,
My
soule
from
bale
to
blis
be
brought
;
And
that
in
mercie
thou
subuert
All
those
my
soules
destruction
sought
:
And
force
of
foes
destroyd
may
be
,
And
made
safe
for
seruing
thee
.
All
glory
be
to
thee
,
ô
God
The
Father
of
eternall
might
,
And
to
the
Sonne
and
Holy

Three

But

Domine
exaudi
orationem
meam

O
Let
,
ô
Lord
,
thine
eares
enclined
be
To
heare
the
praiers
that
I
make
to
thee
:
And
my
hearts
griefe
that
breaketh
foorth
in
cries
,
O
let
it
haue
the
power
to
pierce
the
skies
.
Turne
not
from
me
thy
fauourable
face
,
What
day
or
houre
I
am
in
heauie
case
:
But
when
I
call
to
thee
in
my
distresse
,
O
heare
me
,
Lord
,
and
send
me
soone
redresse
.
My
daies
and
yeares
,
alas
with
little
gaine
,
Like
vnto
smoke
,
how
are
they
past
in
vaine
!
My
forces
,
Lord
,
how
are
they
parch't
and
dry
!
Deuotions
lacke
yeelds
moisture
no
supply
.
The
blasted
grasse
my
image
now
can
show
,
My
withered
heart
confirmes
that
it
is
so
,
And
I
forgotten
haue
,
vnto
my
griefe
,
To
eate
the
bread
of
my
soules
best
reliefe
.
And
my
too
much
regard
of
earthly
care
,
Before
my selfe
for
grace
I
could
prepare
,
Made
reason
to
abandon
reason
quite
,
And
to
affliction
fast
it selfe
vnite
.
But
now
,
ô
Lord
,
since
that
I
now
beginne
To
see
my selfe
,
and
know
the
shame
of
sinne
;
From
earthly
traine
I
will
retire
my
minde
,
Thee
will
I
seeke
my
sauing
health
to
finde
.
In
desert
like
as
liues
the
Pelicane
,
Or
as
the
Crowe
that
doth
day
light
refraine
,
Or
chirping
Sparrow
sitting
all
alone
,
I
shrowd
,
I
watch
,
retir'd
I
make
my
mone
.
But
while
,
O
Lord
,
I
doe
endure
this
life
,
Expecting
peace
,
by
fleeing
worldly
strife
,
Old
friends
I
finde
become
new
noisome
foes
,
O
loue
me
Lord
,
for
losse
of
loue
of
those
.
My
penance
not
restraind
through
scorne
of
these
,
My
foode
I
take
with
ashes
and
with
teares
,
The
more
I
feare
lest
thou
on
me
shouldst
frowne
,
That
canst
me
raise
,
and
raising
cast
me
downe
.
My
daies
decline
as
doth
a
shadow
passe
,
And
I
as
haie
that
whilome
was
as
grasse
:
But
thou
from
age
to
age
shalt
euer
be
,
Then
euermore
,
ô
Lord
,
forget
not
me
.
Vouchsafe
,
ô
Lord
,
in
puissance
to
arise
,
To
raise
thy
Sion
that
depressed
lies
:
Now
is
the
time
,
the
time
doth
now
expire
,
It
mercy
wants
,
and
mercy
doth
desire
.
This
glorious
worke
was
first
begun
by
thee
:
Thy
seruants
erst
were
glad
the
stones
to
see
:
And
they
will
grieue
with
hearts
afflicted
care
,
If
so
the
ruines
thou
dost
not
repaire
.
But
when
,
ô
Lord
,
thy
works
shall
shew
thy
fame
,
The
faithlesse
people
then
shall
feare
thy
name
,
And
earthly
kings
shall
bend
their
glory
downe
At
thy
celestiall
glory
and
renowne
.
Because
thy
Church
,
thy
Sion
,
thou
diddest
build
,
Where
thou
wouldst
euer
haue
thy
honor
hild
,
And
hast
not
vnregarded
heard
the
plaint
Of
faithfull
folke
,
thrald
in
vntruths
restraint
.
And
that
no
time
,
remembrance
may
impaire
Of
thy
mainteined
worke
and
mercy
rare
:
Let
people
now
,
for
people
to
ensue
,
Thy
praise
record
,
thy
praises
to
renue
.
For
from
high
heauen
to
this
low
earthly
place
,
From
blisse
to
bale
our
Lord
enclines
his
face
,
The
groanes
to
heare
,
the
grieued
to
release
,
To
free
from
thrall
,
to
make
affliction
cease
.
The
more
may
Sion
now
sound
foorth
his
fame
,
Ierusalem
his
praises
may
proclaime
,
Wherein
his
Church
,
his
people
do
accord
,
And
where
as
kings
are
subiects
to
their
Lord.
Who
may
,
O
Lord
,
the
datelesse
daies
relate
,
That
of
all
ages
ouerpasse
the
date
?
It
's
thou
to
vs
hast
put
appointed
space
,
O
stop
not
me
ere
halfe
I
runne
my
race
.
These
elements
by
alteration
strange
Shall
changed
be
,
and
so
remaine
in
change
:
But
thou
,
ô
Lord
,
that
workst
all
at
thy
will
,
Wast
earst
the
same
,
the
same
remaining
still
.
Vouchsafe
,
ô
Lord
,
their
ofspring
to
preserue
,
That
thee
in
feare
,
and
faith
,
and
loue
do
serue
,
And
in
thy
waies
directed
to
remaine
,
A
lasting
life
in
lasting
blis
to
gaine
.
Vnto
the
Father
,
Sonne
and

Ghost
,
All
praise
and

be
ascribed
most
,
As
heere
before

And
as
it

,
and
euer

be
done

Miserere

HAue
mercy
ô
good
God
on
me
in
greatnesse
of
thy
grace
,
O
let
thy
mercies
manifold
my
many
faults
deface
.
Foule
,
filthie
,
lothsome
,
vgly
sinne
hath
so
defiled
me
,
With
streames
of
pittie
wash
me
cleane
,
else
cleane
I
cannot
be
.
Too
well
my
foule
vnclensed
crimes
Remembrance
doe
renew
,
Too
plaine
in
anguish
of
my
heart
they
stand
before
my
view
.
To
thee
alone
,
ô
Lord
,
to
thee
these
euils
I
haue
done
,
And
in
thy
presence
,
woe
is
me
,
that
ere
they
were
begun
.
But
since
thou
pardon
promisest
where
hearts
true
ruth
is
showne
;
Shew
now
thy
mercies
vnto
me
,
to
make
thy
iustnesse
knowne

That
such
as
doe
infringe
thy
grace
,
be
made
asham'd
,
and
shent
,
As
rife
thy
mercies
to
behold
,
as
sinners
to
repent
.
With
fauour
view
my
foule
defects
:
in
crimes
I
did
beginne
:
My
nature
bad
,
my
mother
fraile
,
conceau'd
I
was
in
sinne
.
But
since
thy selfe
effectest
truth
,
and
truth
at
selfe
is
Thee
;
I
truely
hope
to
haue
thy
grace
from
sinne
to
set
me
free
.
Since
to
the
faithfull
thou
before
the
secret
science
gaue

Whereby
to
know
what
thou
wouldst
spend
,
the
sinfull
world
to
saue
.
Whose
heauenly
Hyssope
sacred
drops
.
shall
me
besprinckle
so
,
That
it
my
sinne-defiled
soule
shall
wash
more
white
then

O
when
my
eares
receiue
the
sound
of
such
my
soules
release
,
How
do
sinne
laden
limmes
reioice

at

true
ioies

From
my
misdeeds

not
so
foule
a
slaine

First
wipe
away
my
spots
impure
,
then
turne
thy
face
againe

Let
in

of
righteousnesse

infused

From
that
most
glorious
face
of
thine
ô
cast
me
not
away
,
Thy
holy
Ghost
vouchsafe

ô
God
,
With
me
that
it

The
ioy

And
with
the

of

it

That
when
at
thy
most
gracious
hand

sutes
receiued

The
impious
I
may
instruct
how
they
may
turne
to
thee

For
when
,
ô
Lord

I
am
releast
from
vengeance
and
from
blood
,
How
ioyfull
shall
I
speake
of
thee
,
so
gracious

so
good

Thou
,
Lord
,
wilt
giue
me
leaue
to
speake
,
and
I
thy
praise
will
showe
:
For
so
thy
graces
do
require

doest
on
me
bestowe

If
thou
sinne
offrings
hadst
desired
,
as
wonted
were
to
be
,
How
gladly
those
for
all
my
illes

I
would
haue
yeelded

But
thou
accepts
in
sacrifice
a
sorrowing
soule
for
sinne

Despising
not
the
heart
contrite

humbled

Deale

in

With
Sion

From

gone

My

of

And
as
my

surmounting
are

I
must
confesse

So
are
they
mounted
on
my
head

and
heauy

My

That

Each

My
plaints
and
penance
,
Lord
,
accept
,
that
so
I
may
haue
grace
.
Within
my selfe
my
silly
heart
is
vexed
still
,
My
force
is
lost
,
my
sight
I
lacke
to
see
and
shun
my
ill
.
In
my
displeasing
thee
,
ô
Lord
,
right
well
I
see
,
My
friends
are
foes
,
my
life
is
sought
,
and
force
is
wrought
on
me
.
They
wish
my
ill
,
and
speake
my
scorne
;
and
when
they
smile
,
Their
hate
admits
no
time
of
stay
to
studie
fraud
and
guile
.
But
I
,
alas
,
with
patience
prest
must
all
forbeare
,
Like
to
the
dumbe
,
and
seeming
deafe
,
I
neither
speake
nor
beare
.
And
for
because
,
ô
gracious
God
,
I
trust
in
thee
,
Thou
wilt
,
I
know
,
my
louing
Lord
,
giue
care
and
aide
to
me
.
Let
not
,
O
Lord
,
my
foes
preuaile
,
lest
they
reioyce
,
Sith
scarse
my
feet
I
may
remoue
,
but
they
aduance
their
voice
.
Of
my
misdeeds
I
am
prepar'd
to
beare
the
smart
:
Still
is
my
sinne
before
my
sight
,
and
sorow
in
my
hart
.
I
will
reuolue
my
faults
forepast
amids
my
minde
,
And
those
I
truely
will
confesse
,
that
I
may
mercy
finde
.
Hate
hath
confirm'd
on
me
my
foes
,
in
wrongfull
wise
,
And
still
they
liue
,
and
do
increase
,
whose
enuy
neuer
dies

They
yeeld
me
ill
that
gaue
them
good
,
and
me
defie
,
Because
I
goodnesse
would
ensue
,
from
which
they
seeke
to
flie

Forsake
me
not
,
O
Lord
my
God
,
in
state
distrest

Be
ready
,
Lord
,
to
my

,
my
life
in
thee
doth

To
Father

all

From

Beati

O
How
much
blest
may
they
remaine
,
That
pardon
for
their
guilt
obtaine
,
And
whose
great
ill
,
and
ech
offence
,
Lies
hid
in
contrite
penitence
!
What
happy
state
may
he
be
in
,
To
whom
our
Lord
imputes
no
sin
,
Whose
conscience
doth
no
guile
retaine
,
That
can
himselfe
beguile
againe
▪
I
did
my
sinnes
in
silence
holde
,
In
griefe
whereof
my
bones
grew
olde
:
Meane
while
my
dayes
in
plaints
of
paine
,
Without
redresse
,
I
spent
in
vaine
.
But
when
,
O
Lord
,
thy
heauy
hand
No
day
or
night
I
could
withstand
,
But
that
in
anguish
ouerworne
,
My
conscience
prickt
as
with
a
thorne
:
Loe
then
,
O
Lord
,
I
did
beginne
To
vtter
all
my
secret
sinne
,
No
longer
list
I
ought
conceale
,
But
ech
in
iustice
to
reueale
.
Against
my selfe
,
I
sayd
,
will
I
My
wrongs
confesse
,
and
faults
defie
:
To
thee
,
O
Lord
,
O
Lord
to
thee
,
That
hast
from
all
absolued
me
.
And
since
I
thus
thy
mercies
finde
,
Let
ech
of
good
and
godly
minde
Approch
to
thee
in
happy
time
,
To
pray
for
pardon
of
his
crime
.
For
such
as
so
do
sincke
in
sin
,
That
still
they
plunged
lie
therein
,
Vnable
are
of
thee
to
gaine
What
contrite
sinners
can
obtaine
.
O
Lord
,
my
refuge
rests
in
thee
,
When
troubles
do
enuiron
me
:
O
free
me
then
,
my
freedomes
ioy
,
From
such
as
seeke
me
to
annoy
.
Great
comforts
,
Lord
,
I
do
conceaue
,
Thou
me
thy
seruant
wilt
not
leaue
:
But
wilt
instruct
and
guide
me
right
,
And
keepe
me
euer
in
thy
sight
.
O
ye
that
carelesse
are
of
grace
,
Beholde
,
and
see
your
brutish
case
,
And
be
not
as
the
horse

,
That
liue
deuoid
of

And
thou
,
O
Lord
,
in
mercies
rife
,
Vouchsafe
restraine
their
straying
life
,
With
bit
and
bridle
make
them
stay
,
That
vnto
thee
will
not
obey
.
Since
that
for
those
of
sinfull
trade
Full
many
scourges
there
be
made
,
Well's
him
that
doth
in
God
repose
,
Whose

Be
therefore
ioyfull
in
our

All
that
to
righteousnesse
accord

Let

That

All

In

of

I

O

My

How

O
turne

O

Amongst

My

And
I
each

My

THe
darts
of
lust
are
the
eyes
;
and
therefore
fixe
not
thy
eye
on
that
which
thou
mayest
not
desire
.
Opportunity
kindleth
the
fire
of
concupiscence
.
In
all
temptations
it
is
safer
to
flie
,
than
to
fight
with
Satan
.
Shun
occasion
of
doing
euill
,
and
thou
hast
halfe
ouer
〈◊〉
him
.
Affections
are
the
feet
of
the
minde
;
and
therefore
set
●atch
ouer
them
,
left
they
make
hir
miscary
.
Examine
thy
thoughts
.
If
thou
findest
them
to
be
good
;
●re
is
the
spirit
:
Quench
not
the
spirit
.
If
bad
;
forbid
〈◊〉
entrance
:
for
once
admitted
,
they
straightwayes
for●e
and
are
expelled
with
more
difficultie
,
than
not
ad●●tted
.
Epicurisme
is
the
fewell
of
lust
;
the
more
thou
addest
,
〈◊〉
more
she
is
inflamed
.
There
is
no
moment
of
time
spent
,
which
thou
art
not
●untable
for
,
and
therefore
,
when
thou
hearest
the
clocke
●ike
,
thinke
there
is
now
another
houre
come
whereof
●ou
art
to
yeeld
a
reckoning
;
and
by
endeuouring
to
end
one
houre
better
than
another
,
thou
shalt
come
to
me
better
perfection
in
Christianity
.
He
that
considereth
the
ioyes
of
heauen
that
good
men
●●pect
,
or
the
dread
of
torments
which
the
bad
shall
suffer
,
●ll
hardly
sinne
.
The
end
of
a
dissolute
life
is
a
desperate
death
.
There
as
neuer
president
to
the
contrary
,
but
in
the
theefe
in
the
●ospell
:
In
one
,
le●t
any
should
despaire
:
in
one
alone
,
lest
〈◊〉
should
presume
.
Thinke
from
whence
thou
camest
,
and
blush
:
where
●ou
art
,
and
sigh
:
and
tremble
to
remember
whither
thou
●●alt
goe
.
Desperate
thoughts
are
fit
for
such
as
feare
shame
,
and
●ot
for
such
as
hope
for
credit
.
Euill
thoughts
are
the
diuels
harbingers
:
for
he
lodgeth
●ot
,
but
where
they
prouide
his
entertainment
.
The
whole
world
is
as
an
house
of
exchange
,
in
which
Fortune
is
the
nurse
that
breeds
alteration
.
Mishap
is
the
touchstone
of
friendship
,
and
aduersity
●he
triall
of
friends
.
Indifferent
equality
is
safest
superiority
.
Where
proportion
keeps
not
the
doore
,
there
confusio●
will
quickly
enter
.
Where
passions
encrease
,
complaints
multiply
.
It
is
neither
freedome
to
liue
licentiously
,
nor
liberty
to
liue
without
labour
.
Labour
in
youth
,
giues
strong
hope
of
rest
in
olde
age
.
Carefulnesse
and
diligence
are
the
keyes
of
certeinty
.
A
malefactor
hath
feare
for
his
bedfellow
,
care
for
hi●
companion
,
and
the
sting
of
conscience
for
his
torment
.
In
contention
,
aduised
patience
,
and
opportunity
well
ta●ken
,
are
the
best
weapons
of
aduantage
.
Thanks
waxe
olde
when
gifts
are
had
in
possession
.
So
giue
,
as
that
thou
mayest
alwayes
be
giuing
,
and
ne●uer
be
sayd
to
haue
done
giuing
.
Giue
to
the
poore
,
but
not
beyond
thy
power
.
If
thou
giuest
a
benefit
,
keepe
it
close
;
but
if
thou
rece●●uest
one
,
publish
it
:
for
that
inuites
another
.
Let
thy
wit
be
thy
friend
,
thy
minde
thy
companion
,
th●
tongue
thy
seruant
.
Let
vertue
be
thy
life
,
valour
thy

,
honour
thy
fame
and
heauen
thy

.
In

rather
chuse

than
to

He

On
the
anuill
of

forged
the
office
of
vn●thankfulnesse
.
True

continue

The

we
delay
to

our
vertue

the
stronge
〈◊〉
the
presumption
that
we
are
guiltie
of
base
beginning
.
Who
may
doe
all
that
he
will
,
will
doe
that
which
h●
should

Let
thy
speech
be
the

He

not

the

that
deceitful●

●●ocencie

●ominion

.
He
neuer

Courtesie
is
the
true
character
of
a
good
minde
.
Anger
is
the
cradle
of
courage
.
Looking
eyes
haue
liking
hearts
.
Trueth
is
the
centre
of
religion
.
Dominion
is
safest
,
where
obedience
is
best
nouri●d
.
Let
the
eyes
be
sentinels
of
the
body
.
By
being
silent
,
thou
shalt
both
know
other
mens
impertions
,
and
conceale
thine
owne
.
Charity
and
humility
purchase
immortality
.
Age
may
gaze
at
beauties
blossomes
,
but
youth
climbes
tree
and
enioyes
the
fruit
.
Death
is
the
tribute
all
flesh
must
pay
.
He
dies
most
willingly
that
liued
most
honestly
.
Who
liues
to
die
,
dies
to
liue
.
Time
is
the
herald
of
Trueth
:
and
Trueth
the
daughter
Time
.
Who
climbes
by
priuie
sinne
,
shall
fall
with
open
●●me
.
Who
swimmes
in
vice
,
will
sinke
in
vanity
.
The
yoong
man
may
die
quickly
,
but
the
olde
man
can
liue
long
.
The
chiefe
properties
of
wisedome
are
to
be
mindfull
of

carefull

prouident
of

The

God

the

scourgeth
when

Whoso
passeth
many
yeeres
,
and
purchaseth
little

,
〈◊〉
had
a
long
being
,
and
a
short
life
.
Let
thy
apparell
be
cleanly
without
singularitie
:
thy
●●ch
such
as
may
mainteine
loue
and
win
affection
.
Vse
such
affabilitie
and
conuenient
complements
,
as
common
ciuilitie
and
vsuall
courtesie
most
requireth
,
without
making
thy selfe
too
cheape
to
thy
friend
,
or
him
too
deare
to
thee
.
Be
not
at
any
time
idle
.
Alexanders
souldiers
should
scale
molehilles
rather
than
rest
vnoccupied
:
it
is
the
woman
that
sitteth
still
,
that
imagineth
mischiefe
:
it
is
the
rolling
stone
that
riseth
cleane
,
and
the
running
water
that
remaineth
cleare
.
Standing
water
is
soonest
frozen
,
and
he
that
sitteth
still
is
quickliest
ouercome
with
sleepe
.
Thoughts
are
the
buddes
of
the
minde
;
and
words
the
blossomes
of
their
desires
;
and
deeds
the
fruits
of
their
euent
:
and
therefore
he
that
will
not
suffer
ill
thoughts
to
fructifie
,
must
crop
them
in
the
bud
.
There
be
foure
good
mothers
haue
foure
bad
daughters
:
Trueth
hath
Hatred
;
Prosperity
hath
Pride
;
Security
hath
Perill
;
and
Familiarity
hath
Contempt
.
He
that
refuseth
to
take
counsell
good
cheape
,
buyes
repentance
too
deare
.
Let
thy
loue
hang
on
thy
hearts
bottome
,
not
on
thy
tongues
brimme
.
Mistrust
no
man
without
cause
,
neither
be
credulous
without
proofe
.
Suspition
may
enter
a
false
action
,
but
it
is
proofe
brings
in
the
good
plea.
When
we
are
most
miserable
,
then
Gods
grace
is
most
fauourable
.
Who
thinkes
before
he
doe
,
thriues
before
he
thinke
.
A
peruerse
man
is
like
a
sea
crab
that
alwaies
swimmes
against
the
streame
.
Wisedome
is
that
Oliue
that
springeth
from
the
heart
,
bloometh
on
the
tongue
,
and
beareth
fruit
in
the
actions
.
The
end
of
trecherie
is
to
haue
no
trust
.
He
that
makes
a
question
where
there
is
no
doubt
,
must
take
an
answer
where
there
is
no
reason
.
Where
marriage
rides
on
the
saddle
,
repentance
will
be
on
the
crupper
.
Before
thou
sleepe
,
apparell
thy
remembrance
with
that
thou
didst
waking
.
It
is
lesse
paine
to
learne
in
youth
,
then
to
be
ignorant
in
old
age
.
Better
not
to
be
,
then
to
be
slaue
to
passion
.
Innocency
is
the
best
good
,
and
a
guilty
conscience
the
woorst
euill
.
Humilitie
raiseth
when
fortune
depresseth
.
He
receiues
a
benefit
that
bestowes
it
woorthily
:
Curtesie
in
maiestie
bindes
affection
in
dutie
.
Delay
in
punishment
is
no
priuiledge
of
pardon
.
The
law
of
