O

&c.
THE
Hebrew
word
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
signifieth
either
to
desire
to
pray
for
,
&
that
earnestly
:
or
diligently
to
enquire
and
seeke
after
.
In
the
●●●●…nce
Dauid
,
one
thing
I
haue
desired
of
the
Lord
▪
because
thou
hast
asked
this
thing
:
and
hast
not
asked
for
thy selfe
long
life
,
neither
best
asked
riches
for
thy selfe
,
neither
hast
asked
the
left
of
thine
enemies
,
but
hast
asked
for
thy selfe
vnderstanding
to
heare
iudgement
:
and
that
it
importeth
an
earnest
desire
may
the
better
appeare
:
because
that
from
this
roote
is
deriued
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
the
graue
of
hell
,
which
still
craueth
but
is
neuer
satisfied
,
hell
.
Or
this
word
signifieth
sometime
to
aske
and
inquire
after
,
in
which
sence
the
Princes
to
Baruch
,
when
he
had
read
out
of
a
booke
,
that
which
Ieremie
called
him
to
write
,
asked
,
and
as
commonly
it
is
read
,
they
examined
Baruch
,
saying
,
hour
didst
thou
write
these
words
,
out
of
his
mouth
?
so
when
the
Gybeonites
had
told
to
Ioshua
,
&
the
gouernors
of
Israel
,
a
faire
tale
about
their
old
bottles
and
garments
;
It
is
said
of
Ioshuah
and
the
Gouernours
,
that
they
gaue
credence
to
their
speech
;
Ioshu
.
9.14
.
and
did
not
aske
and
enquire
of
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
.
In
which
sence
also
God
spake
by
his
Prophet
Isaias
,
I
was
found
of
them
which
did
not
seeke
or
inquire
after
me
.
Whether

Interrogate

The
word
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
that
signifieth
peace
,
noteth
some
time
,
that
outward
peace
,
in
which
men
freed
from
all
scare
of
the
enemie
,
liue
in
quietnesse
:
sometime
that
inward
peace
of
soule
and
conscience
,
in
which
the
godly
;
are
at
peace
with
God
.
In
the
first
sence
,
this
word
is
taken
in
the
29.
psalme
,
where
Dauid
saith
,
the
Lord
shall
giue
strength
vnto
his
people
▪
,
blessing
of
peace
.
In
the
same
sence
Ieremies
place
is
to
be
vnderstood
,
where
he
aduiseth
the
Iewes
,
to
seeke
for
the
peace
of
Babel
,
into
which
they
were
to
be
carried
captiue
;
So
againe
in
some
places
it
is
taken
for
that
inward
peace
of
conscience
,
in
which
the
godly
are
at
peace
with
God
.
In
which
sence

in
their
commentaries
on
this
place

let

This
then
is
the
meaning
of
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
Pray
,
and
earnestly
desire
,
yea
and
by
seeking
inquire
after
those
things
which
may
make
for
the
outward
and
inward
peace
of
Hierusalem
:
surely
they
that
loue
her
,
in
an
holy
loue
,
they
are
of
a
peaceable
disposition
,
and
shall
abound
with
all
things
that
are
good
.
Yea
O
Lord
giue
to
them
of
thy
peace
,
and
let
it
alway
goe
well
with
them
.
In
the
vnfolding
of
which
the
Prophets
meaning
,
that
we
may
the
more
orderly
proceede
:
consider
I
pray
you
with
me
,
first
the
occasion
which
moued
Dauid
to
deliuer
this
speech
;
secondly
to
whome
he
deliuered
this
speech
;
It
was
to
the
Priests
that
attended
on
the
arke
;
to
the
people
,
that
by
their
tribes
came
vp
to
Hierusalem
,
and
to
the
Gouernours
of
the
people
,
that
sate
vpon
the
thrones
of
Dauid
the
seates
of
iudgement
.
Thirdly
,
the
speech
deliuered
to
the
Priests
,
O
pray
for
,
to
the
people
earnestly
desire
,
to
the
rulers
and
gouernours
,
by
diligent
inquirie
seeke
after
,
for
those
things
which
make
Hierusalem
to
be
at
peace
,
principally
with
God
,
then
with
the
world
.
Fourthly
,
the
reason
of
the
exhortation
,
they
that
loue
Hierusalem
,
they
will
be
of
a
peaceable
disposition
,
and
will
seeke
for
her
peace
:
or
as
some
read
,
they
shall
not
onely
be
hereby
knowne
to
be
louers
of
Hierusalem
;
but
it
shall
be
well
with
them
,
they
shall
abound
with
all
things
that
are
good
.
Of
which
when
we
haue
briefly
spoken
,
we
will
seeke
to
fit
it
to
these
present
times
.
Of
the
first
let
vs
first
entreat
:
The
occasion
which
mooued
Dauid
to

this
speech
of
exhortation
,
to

.
When

concerning

Israel
,
to
put
his
name
there
;
where

arke

Sacrament
of
his

And
when

had
vowed

mightie
God
of

that
he
would
not
goe
vp
to

tabernacle
of

house

nor
come
vp

that
he
would
not
suffer
his

to

vntill
he
had
found
out

an
habitation

to
place
it
in

but
feared

to

,
because

in

had
killed

,
when

And
when

from

that

made

I
was
glad
when
they
said
vnto
me
,
we
will
goe
into
the
house
of
the
Lord
:
and
after
in
this
psalme
speaking
to
the
priests
that
attended
on
the
arke
,
to
the
people
that
by
their
tribes
were
to
come
to
Hierusalem
,
there
to
offer
before
the
Lord
:
and
to
the
Elders
,
which
on
the
seates

gaue

to

saith
,
O
pray

,
let

loue
thee
.
This
was
the
occasion
that
moued
Dauid
to
deliuer
this
speech
.
Now
let
vs
in
the
second
place
consider
to
whome
he
spake
it
,
euen
to
the
priests
,
people
,
and
rulers
.
To
the
priests
,
for
since
the
arke
was
now
placed
in
Hierusalem
,
there
to
continue
his
aboad
,
[
b
](A02456-e1230-b)

vpon
which
it
was
their
office
to
attend
,
not
onely
there
to
offer
the
daily
sacrifice
,
but
there
also
to
make
attonement
vnto
God
,
for
the
sinnes
of
the
people
.
It
behoued
them
greatly
,
to
pray
for
the
welfare
of
that
holy
citie
;
yea
and
aboue
the
common
maner
of
the
vulgar
people
,
[

c

.
to
sanctifie
themselues
;
least
for
their
sakes
God
should
abhorre
the
sacrifices
which
he
himselfe
ordained
,
[

](A02456-e1280-b)

as
in

as
in
the
late
slaughter
of

.
And
yet
not
to
them
onely
doth
the
Prophet
Dauid
here
speake
,
but
to
the
people
also
;
for
when
[
f
](A02456-e1320-b)

God
had
appointed
them
that

solemne
feasts
,
they
should
appeare
before
the
Lord
Iehouah
,
in
that
place
which
the
Lord
shall
choose
to
put
his
name
there
:
and
accordingly
they
did

the
feast
of

,
at
the
feast
of

and
at

feast
of

to
which
Dauid
in

giueth
witnesse
,
[

thither

euen

goe
vp

testimony
vnto
Israel
:
to
giue
thankes
vnto
the
name
of

.
Theirs
it
was
also
,
as
wel
as
the
priests
,
in
their
godly
desires
,
to
wish
for
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
,
and
in
their
holy
obedience
to
procure
that
God
might
still
continue
fauourable
vnto
her
.
And
because
the
welfare
of
Hierusalem
consisted
,
not
onely
in
the
praiers
of
the
priests
,
obedience
of
the
people
,
but
in
the
wel-ruling
of
the
cheife
gouernours
:
to
them
as
to
the
third
and
cheife
estate
of
this
bodie
politique
,
Dauid
here
speaketh
,
that
they
should
carefully
seeke
for
those
things
which
should
make
for
Hierusalems
peace
:

in

which
heard

causes

was

the
counsell

vnto
whome
were
referred
all
causes
of
weight
,
both
in
matters
concerning

,
and
his
worshippe

Now
thirdly
,
let
vs
speake
of
the
speech
it selfe
,
of
that
which
he
requireth
of
them
Of
the
Priests
,
that
they
should
pray
;
of
the
people

that
they
should
desire

of

that
in

best
of

Not

for

Let
the

bee
alwaies
with

and
since
you
are
the
eies
of
the
kingdome
,
prouidently
foresee
the
armes
of
authoritie
,
powerfully
procure
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
:
it
is
not
inough
for
you
with
the
Priests
to
pray
,
or
people
to
desire
;
but
you
must
,
in

best
of

seeke
,

forth
the

for
you

Therefore
[

thus
shall
ye
doe
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
,
faithfully
,
and
with
a
perfect
heart
.
In
this
manner
Dauid
aduiseth
Priests
,
People
,
and
Rulers
,
to
seeke
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
.
Thus
much
for
the
exhortation
:
now
let
vs
speake
of
the
reason
,
why
Priest
,
People
,
and
Gouernours
should
seeke
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
.
The
reason
is
twofold
,
which
is
gathered
out
of
the
words
that
followe
,
They
that
loue
her
shall
prosper
.
First
,
if
they
seeke
her
peace
,
it
will
be
an
euident
argument
that
they
loue
her
.
Secondly
,
they
shall
not
leese
the
fruite
of
their
labour
,
God
shall
make
them
to
prosper
:
as
if
he
would
haue
said
,
seeke
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
,
thereby
shew
forth
your
loue
vnto
her
,
and
cause
the
God
of
blessing
for
the
peace
you
procure
her
,
to
poure
down
his
blessings
vpon
you
and
yours
:
they
that
loue
her
shall
prosper
.
Otherwise
knowe
,
that
as
there
were
many
in
the
daies
of
Dauid
,
which
for
all
their
faire
shewes

had
euill
will
at

,
yea
and
that
as
Musculus
obserueth
,
[
f

f

on
this
Psalme
.
who
in
hearts
were
ioyned
with
the
professed
enemies
of
Hierusalems
peace
,
and
vnder
hand
fought
to
trouble
and
vnquiet
her
estate
:
so
certainely
,
although
for
a
while
they
were
not
seene
nor
discerned
of
men
,
but
were
honoured
of
many
,
as
men
of
a
deepe
reach
and
politique
carriage
;
yet
were
they
then
despised
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
the
appointed
time
,
God
shall
cause
them
to
be
taken
in
their
owne
wiles
,
and
will
preserue
his
Hierusalem
from
harme
.
This
is
that
which
Isaiah
after
prophecied
of
the
Church
,
[
g
](A02456-e1770-b)
g
Isa.
54.15
.
Behold
the
enemie
shall
gather
himselfe
,
but
without
me
saith
the
Lord
,
whosoeuer
shall
gather
himselfe
in
thee
against
thee
,
shall
fall
.
Behold
,
I
haue
created
the
smith
,
that
bloweth
the
coales
in
the
fire
,
and
him
that
bringeth
forth
an
instrument
for
his
worke
;
I
haue
created
the
destroyer
to
destroy
;
but
al
the
weapons
that
are
made
against
thee
,
shall
not
prosper
:
and
euery
tongue
that
shall
rise
against
thee
in
iudgement
,
thou
shalt
condemne
.
Pray
for
therefore
,
and
seeke
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
,
in
so
doing
,
you
shall
shewe
that
you
doe
loue
her
,
&
for
this
your
loue
in
seeking
her
peace
,
God
shall
make
you
prosper
.
Thus
much
for
the
opening
of
this
text
:
now
let
vs
seeke
to
fitte
it
to
these
times
.
This
Hierusalem
is
a
figure
of
our
Church
,
this
Dauid
a
figure
of
our
king
,
the
placing
of
the
arke
on
Mount
Sion
,
which
before
wandred
here
and
there
,
through
the
tribes
of
Israel
,
and
had
no
setled
and
abiding
place
;
a
figure
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
Iesus
,
which
although
it
hath
had
long
aboad
in
this
land
,
(
as
the
arke
in
Israel
)
yet
it
seemed
to
many
of
vs
,
to
haue
no
sure
ground
of
a
continuall
abode
:
till
the
Lord
God
in
loue
to
our
nation
,
and
fauour
to
his
Church
,
setled
(
as
the
arke
on
Mount
Sion
)
the
imperiall
diadem
of
this
kingdome
,
vpon
the
person
of
our
renowmed
Soueraigne
,
and
of
his
most
royall
and
euer
blessed
issue
.
The
which
,
as
it
hath
of
all
sorts
of
people
beene
most
gladly
acknowledged
;
so
the
better
to
remember
vs
of
this
and
other
our
loyall
duties
,
let
me
speake
vnto
you
as
sometime
did
Dauid
vnto
his
people
,
O
pray
for
the
peace
of
our
Hierusalem
,
the
Church
of
England
,
let
them
prosper
O
Lord
that
loue
her
.
In
which
my
discourse
,
that
I
may
the
more
distinctly
proceede
:
obserue
with
me
,
first
,
the
cause
of
this
my
exhortation
;
secondly
the
exhortation
it selfe
:
first
to
you
my
brethren
of
the
ministrie
,
as
Dauid
to
the
Priests
:
secondly
to
you
of
the
people
,
as
Dauid
to
the
tribes
of
Israel
:
thirdly
to
our
Gouernours
,
as
Dauid
to
them
that
sate
on
the
seates
of
iustice
.
Thirdly
,
the
reason
why
all
estates
should
receiue
this
exhortation
,
because
they
that
loue
Hierusalem
and
seeke
her
peace
,
they
shall
prosper
.
Concerning
the
cause
of
this
my
speech
,
since
this
Hierusalem
resembleth
the
Church
whereof
we
are
members
;
which
as
Ierom
speaketh
[

on

psalme

is
not
fully
builded
,
but
is
daily
a
building
:
wherein
,
not
dead
but
liuely
stones
are
laid
,
on
the
foundation
of
the
Apostles
and
Prophets
,
Christ
Iesus
being
the
head
corner
stone
.
And
wheras
during
this
our
building
,
many
the
[
c
](A02456-e1860-b)
c
Ezr.
4.2
.
aduersaries
of
Iudah
and
Beniamin
(
of
God
and
of
his
trueth
)
haue
come
to
our
Zerubabell
and
cheife
fathers
,
and
sayed
vnto
them
,
we
will
build
with
you
,
for
we
seeke
the
Lord
your
God
as
ye
doe
:
But
purpose
indeede
[
d
](A02456-e1880-b)
d
Ezr.
4.4
.
to
discourage
the
people
,
and
trouble
this
building
:
Nay
since
we
cannot
say
of
our
Church
and
builders
,
as
Dauid
there
of
that
Hierusalem
,
[
e
](A02456-e1900-b)
e
Ps.
122.2
that
it
is
a
citie
which
is
builded
at
vnitie
in
it selfe
;
but
we
may
euery
where
heare
men
complaining
of
,
and
taxing
our
many
iarrings
&
idle
disagreements
;
Let
no
man
aske
the
reason
,
why
I
take
vnto
me
these
words
of
exhortation
,
O
pray
for
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
,
let
them
prosper
that
loue
her
.
When
many
in
our
Church
walke
after
the
flesh
,
not
after
the
spirit
;
seeking
to
serue
their
owne
phansies
and
worldly
respects
,
and
not
the
trueth
of
Christ
Iesu
in
the
singlenesse
of
their
hearts
.
When
many
as
we
may
see
stumble
at
strawes
and
leape
ouer
blockes
,
straine
at
gnats
and
swallow
camels
,
tithe
minte
and
commyn
,
&
leaue
the
greater
matters
of
the
lawe
neglected
.
Nay
when
many
in
stead
o●
a
good
zeale
,
for
Gods
glorie
and
for
his
truth
,
bring
strange
fire
,
such
which
neuer
burnt
on
Gods
altar
,
but
was
fetched
from
the
fire
of
hell
it selfe
;
as
though
without
it
Gods
truth
could
not
stand
,
nor
we
be
known
to
be
the
seruants
of
God
,
except
we
weare
the
cognizance
of
the
deuill
.
When
the
words
and
deeds
of
many
are
full
of
malice
,
hatred
,
and
bitter
speakings
;
Let
no
man
maruell
that
I
plead
the
cause
of
our
common
mother
,
I
mean
the
Church
of
England
,
which
is
racked
,
nay
torne
with
our
dissentions
;
&
yet
which
carefully
seekes
the
quiet
of
her
children
,
but
they
will
not
be
quieted
.
And
yet
without
offence
,
let
me
speake
vnto
thy
motherly
affection
,
O
mother
Church
,
Arise
O
Lord
,
and
come
vnto
thy
rest
,
thou
and
the
arke
of
thy
sanctuarie
,
let
thy
Priests
he
cloathed
with
righteousnesse
,
and
let
thy
Saints
reioyce
For
so
long
as
Ionah
be
suffered
to
sleep
in
his
sinne
,
to
goe
to
Tharsus
when
he
should
be
at
Niniueh
,
there
to
doe
the
worke
that
he
hath
vowed
,
&
the
Lord
hath
inioyned
him
:
So
long
as
many
congregations
are
as
sheepe
without
a
shepheard
,
and
doe
neither
heare
at
home
,
not
may
well
beare
abroad
their
Chhristian
duties
,
the
things
that
make
for
their
peace
.
So
long
as
many
of
our
brethren
,
haue
put
themselues
to
silence
,
or
are
silenced
by
other
,
leauing
to
preach
,
nay
to
instruct
their
flocke
in
the
first
elements
and
principles
of
Christianitie
:
So
long
as
those
monthly
sermons
imposed
by
Canons
are
not
performed
;
and
those
wonted
Lectures
in
the
head
townes
of
this
〈◊〉
,
where
the
congregations
are
great
and
the
preaching
seldom
,
are
wholly
neglected
.
Insomuch
that
with
vs
it
is
nowe
come
to
passe
,
that
we
haue
lesse
preaching
,
but
no
more
praying
.
Howe
can
we
but
complaine
our selues
vnto
our
mother
Church
;
and
shewe
vnto
her
that
the
Iesuites
,
seedmen
of
sedition
,
and
brochers
of
impietie
,
by
this
our
silence
doe
make
their
aduantage
:
and
that
the
enuious
man
whilest
we
thus
sleep
soweth
amongst
vs
the
tares
of
prophanenesse
and
wickednesse
of
life
by
which
the
peace
of
our
Hierusalem
is
in
likelihood
greatly
to
be
impeached
,
and
the
shippe
of
this
Church
and
kingdome
to
be
troubled
?
Maruel
not
then
,
why
to
you
;
I
vse
these
words
of
exhortation
,
O
pray
for
the
peace
of
Ierusalem
,
let
them
prosper
that
loue
her
.
In
a
word
,
since
the
recusants
&
halfe
recusants
are
multiplied
in
this
land
,
make
mention
with
ioy
of
the
fall
of
our
brethren
;
and
euen
towards
vs
,
men
otherwise
conformable
,
but
impugners
of
their
errours
;
by
their
false
suggestions
and
slaunders
doe
shewe
their
enmitie
:
seeking
by
the
disgrace
of
our
persons
,
to
worke
a
dislike
of
the
truth
we
teach
:
Since
there
are
many
Michols
sooffing
at
our
Dauids
,
because
they
are
arried
in
white
linnen
garments
:
many
Vzzaes
of
the
lay
people
,
which
in
a
blinde
deuotion
thrust
themselues
too
farre
in
Cleargie
causes
:
many
oxen
which
in
quiet
should
beare
the
arke
;
the
Church
of
Christ
Iesu
,
which
through
their
boysterous
and
troublesome
carriage
,
doe
cause
it
euen
to
shake
and
totter
;
Let
no
man
farther
seeke
and
inquire
,
why
as
Dauid
then
,
so
I
now
,
to
the
priests
,
people
,
and
rulers
should
say
,
O
pray
and
seeke
for
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
,
〈◊〉
them
prosper
that
loue
thee
.
Thus
much
for
the
causes
of
this
exhortation
:
now
let
vs
speake
of
the
exhortation
it selfe
.
First
to
you
my
brethren
,
which
do
refuse
to
yeild
vnto
conformitie
,
remember
you
are
the
masons
which
haue
in
your
hands
these
liuing
stones
,
which
are
to
be
laid
in
the
house
of
your
God
:
for
your
brethrens
sake
,
&
the
loue
you
haue
vnto
the
house
of
your

We
are
to
be
distinguished
from
the
people
and
other
by
our
doctrine
,
not
by
our
vestiment
;
by
our
conuersation
not
by
our
habite
;
by
the
puritie
of
our
mindes
,
not
by
the
ornaments
of
the
bodies
.
And
therefore
shortly
after
inferreth
,
wee
are
not
to
induce
the
simple
mindes
of
the
faithfull
vnto
these
,
for
they
are
rather
to
be
taught
,
then
to
be
illuded
.
Since
then
this
garment
hath
beene
in
this
manner
commanded
and
vsed
by
the
godly
fathers
in
the
first
Church
,
why
may
it
not
in
the
same
sort
be
commanded
to
vs
,
and
vsed
of
vs
?
If
here
thou
shalt
infer
,
because
it
hath
beene
superstitiously
abused
,
many
putting
that
holinesse
in
the
garment
,
that
without
it
they
thinke
no
seruice
or
sacrament
can
bee
rightly
administred
.
That
is
their
errour
that
are
so
miscarried
;
whose
misinformed
consciences
are
to
be
instructed
in
the
truth
.
Yet
I
pray
thee
ingeniously
speake
,
must
nothing
be
vsed
that
hath
beene
superstitiously
abused
?
then
must
we
haue
no
Church
,
no
word
,
no
sacraments
,
no
praiers
,
for
they
haue
all
beene
most
fowly
abused
.
When
Augustine
was
consulted
,
whether
the
temples
of
the
Pagan
Idols
might
be
turned
to
the
Churches
of
the
liuing
God
?

he
asketh
whether
of
Pagan
men
there
are
not
made
beleeuing
Christians
:
therby
inferring
,
that
as
the
worshippers
of
idols
may
become
true
worshippers
of
God
,
the
temples
of
idols
churches
for
God
:
so
things
superstitiously
abused
may
be
freed
from
their
superstition
,
and
retained
in
their
vse
.
But
other
reformed
Churches
,
haue
not
thought
meete
that
in
the
time
of
diuine
seruice
they
should
be
vsed
.
Be
it
so
.
Yet
thou
hearest
that
our
Church
is
of
another
minde
:
to
weare
or
not
weare
is
a
thing
indifferent
,
we
giue
no
lawes
to
them
,
neither
may
their
fact
prescribe
in
matters
of
this
nature
a
lawe
to
vs
.
They
doe
that
which
in
their
seeming
best
fitted
the
politie
of
their
Church
:
and
our
gouernours
that
,
which
best
fitteth
ours
.
When
Monache
the
mother
of
Augustine
came
to
Millan
,
shee
was
troubled
in
conscience
,
because
that
at
Rome
on
the
saturdaie
they
fasted
,
at
Millan
they
did
not
fast
:
whose
troubled
conscience
Ambrose
soone
eased
,
shewing
vnto
her
in
things
of
that
nature
,
that
when
shee
was
at
Rome
,
shee
should
doe
as
they
did
at
Rome
,
and
when
in
other
places
,
as
they
did
in
those
places
.
Vnto
what
Church
soeuer
ye
shall
come
,
obserue
the
custome
of
that
place
,
if
ye
will
not
haue
other
to
be
offensiue
vnto
you
,
or
you
become
an
offence
vnto
them
.
Marke
the
reason
of
his
aduise
,
in
the
end
he
concludeth
,
doe
not
resist
the
bishop
herein
,
but
without
all
scruple
or
dispute
,
followe
that
,
the
which
thou
seest
him
do
.
Which

of

for
being

whether

might
not
bring

Church
of

,
certaine
rites
then
in
vse
in
the
church
of
Fraunce
,
which
yet
were
not
vsed
in
the
Church
of
Rome
;
receiued
for
answer
,
It
pleaseth
me
that
whether
in
the
church
of

,
or

or
in
any
other
Church
,
thou
hast
found
any
thing
,
that
may
more
please
almightie
God
;
thou
wouldest
carefully
choose
it
:
and
that
which
thou
hast
gathered
out
of
many
Churches
,
thou
wouldest
aboue
all
other
establish
in
the
Church
of
England
,
which
is
but
newely
conuerted
to
the
faith
:
for
not
the
things
for
the
places
,
but
the
places
for
the
good
things
(
that
come
from
them
)
are
to
be
loued
.
Much
rather
would
Gregory
haue
approoued
those
rites
,
which
had
beene
before
in
England
receiued
;
although
they
neither
had
bin
nor
were
in

in

Churches
of

and
Scotland
.
The
which
also
Hierom
confirmeth
,
in
his
epistle
he
writeth
to
Licinius
,
28.
saying
,
This
I
thinke
briefly
to
admonish
thee
of
,
that
those
rites
of
the
Church
(
especially
which
are
not
hurtsome
to
faith
)
are
so
to
be
kept
,
as
they
haue
beene
deliuered
from
their
Elders
:
and
that
the
customes
of
some
,
are
not
to
be
subuerted
and
ouerthrowne
,
for
the
contrarie
vsage
and
maner
of
other
.
But
aboue
than
all
,
notably
Augustin
cleareth
this
question
,
in
a
discourse
he
maketh
of
the
vse
of
ceremonies
:
for
hauing
shewed
that
some
were
generally
receiued
,
such
which
were
either
by
the
Apostles
appointed
,
or
concluded
on
in
general
councels
:
117.
at
length
he
saith
,
there
are
other
also
,
which
doe
varie
according
to
the
diuers
vse
of
sundrie
places
and
countries
:
as
that
some
doe
fast
on
saterday
,
others
doe
not
:
and
of
which
after
he
thus
concludeth
:
all
this
kinds
hath
free
obseruations
(
may
be
vsed
,
or
may
not
be
vsed
)
neither
is
there
any
other
ride
(
or
caution
to
be
giuen
)
to
a
graue
and
wise
Christian
,
then
that
he
so
doe
,
as
he
seeth
the
Church
to
doe
,
vnto
which
soeuer
he
shall
happen
to
come
.
For
when
that
which
is
inioyned
,
is
not
against
faith
,
nor
against
good
manners
,
it
is
to
be
reputed
indifferent
,
and
to
be
kept
for
the
peace
of
them
amongst
whome
we
liue
.
Since
then
it
cannot
be
denied
,
but
that
the
surplesse
is
commanded
,
&
for
the
most
part
vsed
in
the
church
of
England
;
that
Ambrose
,
Austin
,
Gregorie
,
Hierome
(
sometime
reputed
the
foure
pillars
of
the
westerne
Church
)
aduiseth
you
,
for
the
peace
of
the
church
in
which
you
liue
,
least
you
become
an
offence
vnto
other
,
and
other
vnto
you
,
notwithstanding
the
contrarie
vsages
of
other
Churches
,
to
conforme
your selues
,
and
to
vse
the
same
.
And
vnto
them
all
,
which
aske
the
reason
,
why
some
Churches
vse
this
garment
,
others
doe
not
:
I
answer
as
Austin
,
who
beeing
demanded
why
Paul
circumcised
Timothy
,
but
did
not
circumcise
Titus
,
although
therevnto
he
was
required
:
27.
that
he
might
shewe
those
sacraments
,
neither
as
necessarie
ought
to
be
desired
,
neither
yet
as
sacrilegious
ought
to
be
damned
.
So
I
to
them
which
aske
the
reason
why
some
churches
receiue
this
ceremonie
,
others
doe
not
:
surely
that
the
faithfull
of
God
may
knowe
,
that
this
ceremonie
ought
not
to
be
required
as
absolutely
necessarie
,
nor
yet
to
be
damned
as
sacrilegious
and
naught
.
Yet
thou
insistest
and
alleadgest
as
a
reason
of
thy
refusall
,
that
many
good
men
will
not
weare
the
surples
,
or
minister
baptisme
with
a
crosse
;
my
loue
towards
them
perswades
me
that
many
of
them
are
good
,
and
that
they
doe
appertaine
vnto
the
Lord
.
Yet
I
pray
thee
answer
,
are
they
all
bad
that
haue
conformed
themselues
,
and
vse
these
ceremonies
?
thy
Christian
charitie
will
not
harbour
such
thoughts
:
nay
I
am
perswaded
,
that
if
God
should
send
among
vs
a
fierie
triall
,
that
as
this
kingdome
did
affoard
in
the
daies
of
Queene
Marie
,
Cranmer
,
and
Ridley
,
Hooper
,
&
Latimer
,
Bishops
then
varying
euen
in
these
ceremonies
,
to
giue
their
bodies
to
be
burned
for
Gods
truth
:
so
this
Church
would
affoard
many
,
whereof
some
yeild
to
conformitie
,
&
some
do
not
,
which
with
ioynt
consents
would
witnesse
the
truth
,
that
hath
beene
,
and
is
nowe
preached
amongst
you
,
with
the
loste
of
the
liuelihoods
and
their
liues
,
Wherefore
looke
not
alwaies
so
much
on
that
which
good
men
doth
,
but
consider
rather
whether
they
are
in
that
good
,
they
doe
:
neither
let
this
seeme
strange
vnto
thee
,
that
God
suffereth
his
seruants
to
fall
in
iudgement
,
and
although
they
would
,
not
to
see
his
trueth
;
call
to
minde
the
errours
of
the
holy
fathers
:
and
why
doth
God
this
?
euen
that
all
flesh
,
as
Chrysostome
obserueth
,
might
giue
glorie
to
the
lord
,
and
not
ascribe
to
the
worthe
of
man
the
blessed
worke
of
mans
saluation
.
Wherefore
,
since
the
vse
of
the
surples
is
meerely
indifferent
,
which
the
magistrate
may
command
to
be
continued
in
the
Church
:
since
it
is
no
newe
thing
,
but
auntient
,
which
a
long
time
hath
beene
vsed
in
the
Church
,
and
approoued
of
the
fathers
,
as
seruing
vnto
deconci●●
and
●●der
:
since
it
doth
not
contrarie
any
principle
of
faith
,
or
any
way
impugne
the
honestie
of
manners
;
although
it
was
superstitiously
abused
,
and
of
some
reformed
Churches
therfore
not
admitted
,
and
of
some
good
men
therefore
refused
,
let
it
in
al
obedience
&
loue
be
vsed
of
vs
,
&
for
it
,
let
vs
not
breake
the
peace
of
our
Hierusalem
,
or
trouble
the
Church
in
which
we
liue
.
Yet
thou
saiest
,
thou
canst
not
for
thy
conscience
:
what
of
the
thing
?
thou
canst
not
that
art
learned
be
so
grossely
deceiued
;
it
is
in
his
nature
meerely
indifferent
,
neither
good
not
euill
:
for
if
it
had
beene
absolutely
euill
,
the
holy
fathers
&
martyrs
would
not
haue
vsed
it
,
or
approoued
it
as
lawfull
in
the
Church
of
God
.
Why
then
doest
thou
refuse
it
?
thou
saiest
for
thy
conscience
;
what
thy
coscience
?
that
hast
so
much
laboured
in
the
word
,
thy
conscience
that
hast
taught
the
magistrate
commanding
in
things
indifferent
is
to
be
obeyed
.
No
man
knoweth
thy
conscience
but
thy selfe
;
glose
not
with
God
,
nor
with
thine
own
soule
:
but
if
thy
conscience
doe
mis-giue
thee
,
aske
of
her
her
reasons
,
weigh
them
with
thy selfe
in
the
ballance
of
Gods
word
,
thou
knowest
shee
may
erre
and
be
deceiued
.
It
is
no
shame
well
to
vnspeake
that
thou
hast
ill
spoken
,
or
to
retract
with
praise
that
thou
hast
fondly
iustified
.
Follow

and
wel

Austin
,
seeke
to
guid
thy

with

,
and
in
the

of

and
aboue

in

of

well

heart
,
pray
vnto
God
,
that
he
would
open

,
and
teach
thee
his
truth
:
it
may
be
he
will
shewe
to

,
that
he
did

that
which
I
haue

call

but
if

from
thee
,
and
thou

canst
not
in
this
be
resolued
in

,
I
may
not
perswade
thee
to
sinne
against
thy

.
But
as
Paul

that
were

to

,
so
I
of

although
in

bee

to
thee
that
iudgest
those

to
be
vncleane
,
they
are
vncleane
.
And
yet
then
remember
whose
thou
art
,
and
in
all
meekenes
possesse
thy
soule
,
and
shew
to

that

that
although

that
yet
for

peace
of

which
thou
doest

,
thou
art
content
to
take
vp

and
follow

.
And
yet
when

that

are

for

It
is
not
the
punishment
,
but
the
cause
that
makes
a
martyr
.
But
it
may
be
as
some
pretend
,
they
refraine
from
this
,
not
for
conscience
of
the
thing
,
for
they
hold
it
indifferent
;
nor
for
their

,
for
of
it

for

vnto
whose

thus
I
answer

that
[

that
they
may
not

not

to

:
yet
when
the
magistrate
commands
them
in
the

of

then
is
their

restrained
;
&
that
,
which

should

with

forget

from

to

as

when

what

whilst
the
whoredomes
of
thy
mother
Iesabel
and
her
witchcrafts
are
in
great
number
,
what
peace
can
you
procure
for
your selues
and
for

people
?
when
by
your
ignorance
,
ill
ensample
,
and

you
lead

Awake
therefore
with

out
of

although

Thus
much
to
you
my

the
peace

.
Nowe
let
me
speake
to
you
of
the
people
(
as
Dauid
did

tribes
of

)
which
are
beholders
and
hearers
of

for

;
and
when

of

to
talke
of
matters
belonging

,

to
his
Church
:
[

.
take
heed
to
your
feete
,
as
the
Preacher
speaketh
,
and
be
more
readie
to
heare
,
then
to
offer
vp
the
sacrifice
of
fooles
,
for
they
knowe
not
that
they
doe
euill
.
Remember
what
the
Lord
speaketh
by
his
seruant
Malachie
,
the
[
i
](A02456-e3230-b)
i
Mal.
2.7
.
Priests
lippes
should
preserue
knowledge
,
and
men
should
seeke
the
lawe
at
his
mouth
:
if
at
our
mouths
ye
will
seeke
it
,
then
heare
O
ye
people
:
the
things
in
question
,
the
crosse
and
surplesse
are
meerely
indifferent
,
such
which
may
,
yea
and
should
be
vsed
,
when
authoritie
commands
,
and
againe
may
be
disused
,
if
authoritie
forbids
:
if
any
herein
despise
authoritie
,
and
will
not
obey
the
decreed
orders
of
our
Church
,
he
is
not
wholly
fit
to
be
a
guide
and
leader
vnto
other
;
he
procureth
trouble
to
our
Hierusalem
,
and
to
himselfe
.
But
as
for
you
my
brethren
,
walke
in
the
light
that
hath
beene
shewed
you
,
and
shewe
your
holy
obedience
vnto
the
Lord
:
remember
the
times
not
long
since
past
,
when
God
tooke
from
vs
our
late
blessed
Soueraigne
,
how
gladly
then
you
would
haue
beene
contented
,
(
if
so
be
there
had
beene
any
that
could
haue
assured
you
)
to
haue
enioyed
the
religion
now
professed
,
although
it
had
beene
with
the
purchase
of
much
money
,
and
with
many
inconueniences
,
from
which
you
are
now
freed
:
and
shal
we
now
,
as
though
we
had
forgotten
those
times
,
shewe
our
vnthankfulnesse
to
God
,
disloyaltie
to
our
Prince
,
so
waywardly
impugne
his
princely
proceedings
in
the
crosse
and
surplesse
,
as
though
all
our
religion
were
corrupted
by
these
;
the
Lord
giue
vs
better
mindes
,
yea
be
hath
giuen
,
and
therefore
as
yee
haue
begun
,
still
seeke
you
for
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
in
which
we
liue
.
The
peace
of
Hierusalem
you
doe
then
truely
seeke
,
when
[
k
](A02456-e3260-b)

you
submit
your selues
to
them
which
haue
the
ouersight
ouer
you
in
the
Lord
,
and
suffer
the
good
word
of
God
,
not
onely
plentifully
to
dwell
,
but
to
fructifie
amongest
you
:
for
as
when
they
of
Iudah
and
Ieruselem
[
a

for
the
people
had
not
yet
prepared
their
hearts
vnto
the
God
of
their
fathers
:
euen
so
,
if
we
aske
why
in
the
daies
of
our
Iehosaphat
,
these
crying
and
offensiue
sinnes
goe
vncontrolled
,
are
not
punished
,
but
soothed
vp
,
continue
as
before
:
one
cause
is
in
you
the
churchwardens
and
sidemen
,
you
doe
not
prepare
your
hearts
vnto
the
God
of
your
fathers
,
you
will
not
take
nor
giue
notice
of
them
.
Wherefore
as
Christ
to
the
angels
of
the
seauen
Churches
,
so
he
speaketh
vnto
you
.
Cursed
is
he
that
doth
the
worke
of
the
Lord
negligently
:
this
is
Gods
worke
,
and
the
cause
of
his
Church
you
haue
in
hand
:
shew
your
diligence
in
the
search
of
sinnes
,
that
God
may
turne
his
curses
from
you
,
and
you
may
see
Hierusalem
liue
in
peace
.
Neither
let
the
offendour
take
to
wrath
,
that
for
his
crying
sinnes
he
is
presented
;
but
rather
let
him
humble
his
soule
,
bewaile
his
faults
,
and
thanke
God
,
that
this
occasion
is
giuen
him
to
amend
.
Thus
let
them
that
present
,
seeke
the
peace
of
Hierusaem
by
presenting
the
offendour
;
and
let
the
presented
seeke
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
by
repenting
their
sinnes
;
and
let
the
god
of
peace
be
at
peace
with
our
Church
,
because
shee
wincketh
not
at
the
faults
of
her
children
,
but
reprooueth
and
punisheth
them
,
in
them
;
to
the
example
of
other
,
and
for
the
amendment
of
their
wicked
liues
.
Thus
much
to
you
of
the
people
,
the
tribes
of
Israel
,
pray
and
seeke
for
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
.

there
noteth
)
they
that
are
iudged
are
asked
:
Interrogate
,
inquire
after
those
things
which
make
for
the
peace
of
Hierusalem
.
For
as
Prosper
after
him
writeth
,
to
the
very
seats
(
of
iniustice
)
the
propheticall
speech
is
directed
;
vnto
you
be
saith
which
are
to
iudge
,
by
whome
is
to
made
the
examination
of
consciences
,
discerne
ye
the
humble
from
the
proud
,
and
put
a
difference
between
the
troublesome
and
the
quiet
.
It
is
not
enough
for
you
with
the
priests
to
pray
,
or
people
to
desire
;
but
you
must
by
diligent
inquirie
seeke
,
and
seeking
finde
,
and
finding
,
further
the
peace
of
our
Hierusalem
,
which
is
of
God
.
The
vnquiet
of
our
Church
makes
vs
to
pray
,
and
the
people
to
desire
,
that
the
God
of
peace
would
dispose
your
hearts
,
to
seeke
for
the
things
that
make
for
our
peace
:
as
Athanasius
,
Non
pugnamus
Caesar
,
sed
rogamus
,
O
ye
rulers
,
we
doe
not
fight
,
the
weapons
of
Christians
are
prayers
and
teares
.
Behold
I
haue
beganne
to
speake
vnto
my
Lords
,
and
yet
am
but
dust
&
ashes
:
yet
not
with
my
words
,
Seeke
after
those
things
which
make
for
the
peace
of
this
citie
,
and
followe
it
;
that
by
the
loue
of
peace
,
ye
may
attaine
the
fruit
of
euerlasting
blisse
.
Remember
you
must
giue
an
account
of
your
doings
to
the
Lord
.
Wherefore
let
vs
make
bould
to
remember
you
of
your
duties
,
and
vpon
what
disturbers
of
our
peace
you
are
principally
to
looke
.
First
,
vpon
the
whole
and
halfe
recusants
,
and
other
fauourers
of
the
Romish
superstition
,
which
if
they
come
,
are
drawne
to
our
Churches
;
which
backbite
our
persons
,
depraue
our
preachings
,
and
speake
in
corners
against
the
profession
of
the
trueth
:
let
them
not
boast
themselues
of
your
fauours
,
for
of
them
many
vnto
this
day
haue
showen
,
that
they
seeke
not
the
peace
of
this
Church
and
kingdome
,
in
which
they
liue
.
Secondly
looke
to
the
open
and
notorious
offendours
,
which
are
either
publikely
infamed
,
or
detected
in
your
courts
:
whose
euil
ensamples
imbolden
other
to
sinne
,
and
are
an
offence
vnto
the
godly
with
whome
they
liue
,
and
a
note
of
rebuke
and
shame
vnto
our
church
,
when
they
escape
vnpunished
:
for
by
their
crying
sinnes
they
disturbe
the
peace
of
our
Hierusalem
,
in
prouoking
the
Lord
to
be
angrie
with
this
land
.
Lastly
,
looke
to
the
proudly
wilful
&
forwardly
disobedient
,
which
speake
euill
of
authoritie
,
and
contentiously
broch
and
maintaine
their
follies
,
contrarie
to
the
wholsome
lawes
and
orders
of
our
Church
:
these
are
seedes-men
of
Schisme
,
fathers
of
contention
,
whose
troublesome
and
euer
varying
humours
,
cannot
brooke
the
quiet
of
our
Church
.
Thus
seeke
yee
the
peace
of
our
Hierusalem
,
O
ye
our
Gouernours
,
and
then
doe
yee
which
thus
seeke
,
the
priests
that
pray
,
the
people
that
desire
her
peace
,
hearken
to
the
words
that
follow
,
They
shall
prosper
that
loue
her
.
This
is
the
soule
and
life
of
the
exhortation
,
and
a
forcible
motiue
to
mooue
all
estates
to
seeke
Hierusalems
peace
:
they
shall
prosper
that
loue
her
.
Heare
ye
my
fellow
brethren
,
and
yee
the
people
of
God
,
the
tribes
of
Israel
,
and
yee
the
fathers
and
Gouernours
of
our
Church
,
and
looke
into
the
bosome
of
your
hearts
;
if
ye
loue
our
Hierusalem
which
is
our
Church
,
yee
will
seeke
for
her
peace
,
nay
if
ye
loue
her
ye
shal
prosper
,
and
all
things
shall
goe
well
with
you
:
but
if
yee
doe
not
loue
her
,
nor
yet
in
truth
,
for
all
your
faire
shewes
,
doe
seeke
for
her
peace
;
you
shall
not
prosper
.
And
if
for
a
while
God
suffer
you
to
flourish
,
yet
the
sunne
of
your
prosperitie
shall
soone
set
,
and
all
your
glorie
shall
be
as
the
flower
in
the
field
,
which
is
soone
withered
and
gone
.
Heare
O
ye
sinners
,
which
with
your
crying
sinnes
trouble
the
peace
of
our
Hierusalem
,
and
cause
the
Lord
to
be
angrie
with
his
people
,
what
the
Lord
spake
to
Achan
by
the
mouth
of
I●●●●…h
(
for
whose
sinne
Israel
turned
his
backe
before
his
enemies
)
when

the

shall
trouble
thee

They
that
