Therefore
feare
you
the
Lord
,
and
serue
him
in
truth
with
all
your
hearts
,
and
consider
how
great
things
he
hath
done
for
you
.
But
if
you
do
wickedly
,
ye
shall
perish
both
yee
and
your
King
.
I
Hold
it
no
small
fauor
of
God
(
right
Honourable
&
beloued
)
that
he
hath
called
me
to
the
seruice
of
this
day
;
both
in
the
name
of
such
a
people
,
to
praise
him
for
his
Anointed
,
and
in
his
name
to
praise
his
Anointed
to
his
people
.
The
same
hand
that
giues
the
oportunite
,
vouchsafe
to
giue
successe
to
this
businesse
.
That
which
the
lewes
sinned
in
but
desiring
,
it
is
our
happinesse
to
inioy
.
I
need
not
call
any
other
witnesse
then
this
day
,
wherin
we
celebrate
the
blessing
of
a
King
,
and
(
which
is
more
)
of
a
King
higher
then
other
Princes
by
the
head
and
shoulders
.
And
if
other
yeeres
had
forgotten
this
tribute
of
their
loyaltie
and
thankfulnesse
,
yet
the
example
of
those
ancient
Roman
Christians
(
as
Eusebius
and
Sozomen
reporr
)
Idem
Euseb.
de
vita
Const.
would
haue
taught
vs
,
that
the
tenth
complete
yeere
of
our
Constantine
,
deserues
to
be
solemne
&
Iubilar
.
And
if
our
ill
nature
could
bee
content
to
smother
this
mercie
in
silence
,
the
very
Lepers
:
of
Samaria
shold
rise
vp
against
vs
&
say
,
Wee
doe
not
well
;
this
is
a
day
of
good
tidings
,
&
we
hold
our
peace
.
My
discourse
yet
shall
not
bee
altogether
laudatory
,
but
as
Samuels
,
led
in
with
exhortation
,
and
caried
out
with
threatning
.
For
this
Text
is
a
composition
of
duties
,
fauors
,
dangers
:
of
duties
which
we
o●●e
,
of
fauours
receiued
,
of
dangers
threatned
.
The
duties
that
God
Idokes
for
of
vs
,
come
before
the
mention
of
the
fauors
wee
haue
receiued
from
him
,
(
though
after
their
receit
)
to
teach
vs
,
that
as
his
mercy
,
so
our
obedience
should
be
absolute
:
and
the
danger
followes
both
,
to
make
vs
more
carefull
to
hold
the
fauors
,
and
performe
the
duties
;
And
me
thinks
there
cannot
be
a
more
excellent
mixture
.
If
we
should
heare
only
of
the
fauors
of
God
,
nothing
of
our
duties
,
wee
should
fall
into
conceitednesse
:
if
only
of
our
duties
without
recognition
of
his
sauours
,
we
should
proue
vncheerfull
;
and
if
both
of
these
,
without
mention
of
any
danger
,
wee
should
presume
on
our
fauours
,
and
bee
slacke
in
our
duties
.
prepare
therfore
your
Christian
eares
and
hearts
for
this
threefold
cord
of
God
,
that
(
through
his
blessing
)
these
duties
may
draw
you
to
obedience
,
the
dangers
to
a
greater
awe
,
and
the
fauours
to
further
thankefulnesse
.
The
goodnesse
of
these
outward
things
is
not
such
as
that
it
can
priuiledge
euery
desire
of
them
from
sinne
Monarchy
is
the
best
of
gouernments
,
&
likest
to
his
rule
,
that
sits
in
the
assembly
of
Gods
.

but
(
ragnah

)
a
great
wickednesse
as
Samuel
tels
them
.
vers
.
17.
and
(
as
oftentimes
we
may
reade
Gods
displeasure
in
the
face
of
the
heauen
)
he
showes
it
in
the
weather
.
God
thunders
and
raynes
in
the
middest
of
wheat
haruest
.
The
thunder
was
fearefull
,
the
raine
in
that
hote
climate
and
season
strangely
vnseasonable
:
both
to
be
in
the
instant
vpon
Samuels
speech
,
was
iustly
miraculous
.
The
heathen
Poets
bring
in
their
fained
God
thundering
in
applause
;
I
neuer
finde
the
true
God
did
so
.
This
voice
of
God
brake
Feare
and
seruice
goe
still
together
.
Serue
the
Lord
in
feare
,
saith
Dauid
.
Feare
the
Lord
and
serue
him
,
saith
Ioshua
;
Feare
God
(
saith
Salomon
)
first
,
and
then
,
keepe
his
commandements
.
Behold
,
the
same
tongue
that
bad
them
not
feare
,
vers
.
20.
now
bids
them
feare
;
and
the
same
spirit
that
tels
vs
they
feared
exceedingly
(
vers
.
18.
)
now
enioynes
them
to
feare
more
.
What
shall
we
make
of
this
?
Their
other
feare
was
at
the
best
Initiall
;
for
now
they
began
to
repent
;
and
as
one
saies
of
this
kinde
of
feare
,
that
Gregorie
)
Dial.

Compunctio
formidinis

fits
the
minde
for
the
compunction
of
loue
.
Wee
shall
neuer
reioyce
truely
in
God
,
except
it
bee
with
trembling
:
Except
we
haue
quaked
at
his
thunder
,
we
shall
neuer
ioy
in
his
sunne
shine
.
How
seasonably
therefore
doth
Samuel
,
when
hee
saw
them
smitten
with
that
guiltie
and
seruile
feare
,
call
them
to
the
:
reuerentiall
feare
of
God
;
Therefore
feare
yee
the
Lord
?
It
is
good
striking
,
when
God
hath
striken
;
there
is
no
fishing
so
good
as
in
troubled
waters
.
The
conscience
of
man
is
a
nice
and
sullen
thing
,
and
if
it
be
not
taken
at
fit
times
,
there
is
no
medling
with
it
.
Tell
one
of
our
gallants
in
the
midst
of
all
his
iollity
and
reuells
,
of
deuotion
,
of
piety
,
of
iudgements
;
he
hath
the
Athenian
question
ready
,
What
will
his
babler
say
?
Let
that
man
alone
till
God
haue
touch't
his
soule
with
some
terrour
,
till
hee
haue
cast
his
body
on
the
bed
of
sicknesse
,
when
his
fether
is
turned
to
a
kerchiefe
,
when
his
face
is
pale
,
his
eyes
sunke
,
his
hands
shaking
,
his
breath
short
,
his
flesh
consumed
,
now
hee
may
bee
talk't
with
,
now
he
hath
learned
of
Eli
to
say
,
speake
Lord
for
thy
seruant
heareth
.
The
conuexe
or
out-bowed
side
of
a
vessell
will
hold
nothing
;
it
must
be
the
hollow
and
depressed
part
that
is
capable
of
any
liquor
.
Oh
,
if
wee
were
so
humbled
with
the
varieties
of
Gods
iudgements
as
wee
might
,
how
sauoury
should
his
counsels
be
,
how
precious
&
welcome
would
his
feare
bee
to
our
trembling
hearts
?
whereas
now
,
our
stubborne
sencelesnesse
frustrates
(
in
respect
of
our
successe
,
though
not
of
his
decree
)
all
the
threatnings
and
executions
of
God
.
There
are
two
maine
affections
,
Loue
,
and
Feare
,
which
as
they
take
vp
the
soule
where
they
are
,
and
as
they
neuer
go
a
sunder
,
(
for
euery
loue
hath
in
it
a
feare
of
offending
and
forgoing
;
and
euery
feare
implyes
a
loue
of
that
,
which
we
suspect
may
mis-carry
)
so
ech
of
them
fulfils
the
whole
law
of
God
.
That
loue
is
the
abridgement
of
the
Decalogue
both
our
Sauiour
,
and
his
blessed
Apostle
haue
taught
vs
:
It
is
as
plaine
of
Feare
;
The
title
of
Iob
is
,
A
iust
man
,
and
one
that
feared
God
;
iustice
is
expressed
by
Feare
.
For
what
is
iustice
,
but
a
freedome
from
sinne
?
And
the
feare
of
the
Lord
hates
euil
,
saith
Salomon
.
Thou
shalt
feare
,
is
turned
by
our
Sauiour
(
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
)
Thou
shalt
worship
,
or
adore
.
And
that
which
Esay
saith
,
In
vaine
they
feare
me
,
In
vaine
they
worship
mee
;
as
if
all
worship
consisted
in
Feare
.
Hence
it
is
probable
that
God
hath
his
name
in
two
languages
from
(
〈◊〉

in
the
Greeke
signifies
both
Feare
&
Religion
.
And
Salomon
when
he
saies
The
feare
of
the
Lord
is

the
beginning
(
as
we
turne
it
,
)
of
wisedome
,
saies
more
then
we
are
a
ware
of
;
for
the
word
signifies
as
well
Caput
or
Principatum
;
the
head
or
top
of
wisedome
;
yea
(
saith
Siracides
)
it
is
the
crown
vpon
the
head
;
it
is
the
roote
of
the
same
wisedome
,
whereof
feare
.
Neither
is
it
lesse
necessarie
then
proper
,
for
wee
can
be
no
Christians
without
it
;
whether
it
be
(
as
Hemingius
distinguishes
it
well
)
timor
cultus
,
Hem.
in
Ps.
25.
or
culpae
,
either
our
feare
in
worshipping
,
or
our
feare
of
offending
;
the
one
is
a
deuout
feare
,
the
other
a
carefull
feare
.
The
latter
was
the
Corinthians
feare
,
whose
godly
Yea
what
indignation
,
yea
what
feare
,
yea
what
desire
?
The
former
is
that
of
the
Angels
,
who
hide
their
faces
with
their
wings
;
yea
of
the
Son
of
God
,
as
man
,
who
fell
on
his
face
to
his
father
.
And
this
is
due
to
God
,
as
a
father
,
as
a
maister
,
as
a
benefactor
,
as
a
God
infinite
in
all
that
he
is
.
Let
me
be
bold
to
speake
to
you
,
with
the
Psalmist
,
Come
ye
children
,
hearken
to
mee
,
and
I
will
teach
you
the
feare
of
the
Lord
.
What
is
it
therefore
to
feare
God
;
but
to
acknowledge
the
glorious
(
the
inuisible
)
presence
of
God
in
all
our
wayes

The
voice
of
wickednesse
Senec.

is
actuall
,
saith
the
Psalmist
,
wickednesse
saith
there
is
no
feare
of
God
before
his
eyes
.
Behold
wheresoeuer
is
wickednesse
,
there
can
be
no
feare
of
God
;
these
two
cannot
lodge
vnder
one
roofe
,
for
the
feare
of
God
driues
out
euill
(
saith
Ecclesiasticus
.
)
As
therefore
Abraham
They
imagine
wickednesse
on
their
bed
,
&c.
therefore
the
feare
of
God
is
not
before
them
.
I
would
to
God
this
argument
were
not
too
demonstratiue
.
Brethren
,
our
liues
shame
vs
.
If
wee
fear'd
the
Lord
,
durst
we
dally
with
his
name
,
durst
wee
teare
it
in
pieces
?
Surely
we
contemn
his
person
,
whose
name
we
contemne
.
The
Iewes
haue
a
conceit
,
that
the
sinne
of
that
Israelite
which
was
stoned
for
blasphemie
,
was
onely
this
,
that
hee
named
that
ineffable
name
of
foure
letters
Iehouah
.
Shall
their
feare
keepe
them
from
once
mentioning
the
dreadfull
name
of
God
,
and
shall
not
our
feare
keepe
vs
from
abusing
it
?
Durst
we
so
boldly
sinne
God
in
the
face
,
if
wee
feared
him
?
Durst
wee
mocke
God
with
a
formall
flourish
of
that
,
which
our
heart
tels
vs
wee
are
not
,
if
wee
feared
him
?
Durst
wee
be
Christians
at
Church
,
Mammonists
at
home
,
if
we
feared
him
?
Pardon
mee
,
if
in
a
day
of
gratulation
,
I
hardly
temper
my
tongue
from
reproof
;
for
as
the
Iewes
had
euer
some
malefactour
brought
forth
to
them
in
their
great
feast
;
so
it
shall
bee
the
happiest
peece
of
our
triumph
and
solemnitie
,
if
wee
can
bring
forth
that
wicked
profanenesse
,
wherewith
wee
haue
dishonor'd
God
,
&
blemisht
his
Gospell
,
to
bee
scourged
,
and
dismissed
with
all
holy
indignitie
.
From
this
feare
,
let
vs
passe
as
briefly
,
through
that
which
we
must
dwel
in
all
our
liues
,
the
seruice
of
God
.
This
is
the
subiect
of
all
sermons
,
mine
shall
but
touch
at
it
.
You
shall
see
how
I
hasten
to
that
discourse
,
which
this
day
&
your
expectation
calls
me
to
.
Diuine
Philosophy
teaches
vs
to
referre
,
not
onely
our
speculations
,
but
our
affections
to
action
.
As
therefore
our
seruice
must
be
grounded
vpon
feare
,
so
our
feare
must
be
reduced
to
seruice
.
What
strength
can
these
Masculine
dispositions
of
the
soule
yeild
vs
,
if
with
the
Israelites
brood
they
bee
smoothered
in
the
birth
?
Indeed
the
worst
kinde
of
feare
is
that
we
call
seruile
;
but
the
best
feare
,
is
the
feare
of
seruants
.
For
there
is
no
seruant
of
God
,
but
feares
filially
.
And
againe
God
hath
no
sonne
but
he
serues
.
Euen
the
natural
sonne
of
God
,
was
so
in
the
forme
of
a
seruant
,
that
hee
serued
indeed
;
and
so
did
hee
serue
that
he
indured
all
sorrow
,
and
fulfilled
all
righteousnesse
.
So
euery
Christian
is
a
sonne
and
heyre
to
the
King
of
heauen
,
and
his
word
must
be
,
I
serue
.
Wee
all
know
what
seruice
meanes
.
For
wee
all
are
,
or
were
(
I
imagine
)
either
seruants
of
maisters
,
or
seruants
of
the
publique
,
or
maisters
of
seruants
,
or
all
these
.
Wee
cannot
therefore
be
ignorant
either
what
we
require
of
ours
,
or
what
our
superiors
require
of
vs
.
If
seruice
consisted
onely
in
wearing
of
liueries
,
in
taking
of
wages
,
in
making
of
curtesies
,
and
kissing
of
hands
,
there
were
nothing
more
easie
,
or
more
common
.
Al
of
vs
weare
the
cognizance
of
our
christianity
in
our
baptisme
,
all
liue
vpon
Gods
trencher
in
our
maintenance
,
all
giue
him
the
complements
of
a
fashionable
profession
.
But
,
be
not
deceiued
,
the
life
of
seruice
is
worke
;
the
worke
of
a
Christian
is
obedience
to
the
Law
of
God
.
The
Centurion
when
hee
would
describe
his
good
seruant
in
the
Gospell
,
needed
say
no
more
but
this
;
I
bid
him
doe
this
,
and
he
doth
it
.
Seruice
then
briefely
is
,
nothing
but
a
readinesse
to
doe
as
wee
are
bidden
;
and
therefore
both
Salomon
,
and
he
that
was
greater
then
Salomon
,
describes
it
by
keeping
the
commandements
;
and
the
chosen
vessell
giues
an
euerlasting
rule
:
His
seruants
ye
are
to
whom
yee
obey
.
Now
I
might
distinguish
this
seruice
into
habituall
,
and
actuall
.
Habituall
;
for
as
the
seruant
,
while
hee
eates
or
sleepes
,
is
in
seruice
still
;
so
are
wee
to
God
:
Actuall
,
whether
vniuersal
in
the
whole
carriage
of
our
liues
(
which
Zacharie
tels
vs
is
in
holinesse
,
and
righteousnesse
,
holinesse
As
euery
obedience

God
,
so
euery
sin
makes
God
serue
vs
.
One
said
wittily
,
that
the
angry
man
made
himselfe
the
iudge
,
and
God
the
executioner
.
There
is
no
sin
that
doth
not
the
like
.
The
glutton
makes
God
his
cator
,
and
himselfe
the
guest
,
and
his
belly
his
god
,
especially
in
the
new-found
feasts
of
this
age
,
wherin
profusenesse

The

man
makes
himselfe
the
Vsurer
,
and
God
the

The
ambitious
makes
God
his

,
and
Honor
his
God
.
Of
euery
sinner
doth
God
say
iustly
,
seruire
me
fecisti
.
Thou
hast
made
mee
to
serue
with
thy
sinnes
.
There
cannot
be
a
greater
honor
for
vs
then
to
serue
such
a
maister
,
as
commands
heauen
,
earth
,
&
hell
:
Whom
Behold
I
am
thy
seruant
;
(
latria
)
as
it
is
more
absolute
,
and
without
respect
of
recompence
.
Yea
,
I
would
it
were
vncharitable
to
say
,
that
many
besides
the
sauages
of
Calecut
,
place
Satan
in
the
throne
,
and
God
on
the
footestoole
.
For
as
Witches
and
Sorcerers
conuerse
with
euill
spirits
in
plausible
and
familiar
formes
,
which
in
vgly
shapes
they
would
abhorre
;
so
many
a
man
serues
Satan
vnder
the
formes
of
gold
and
siluer
,
vnder
the
images
of
Saints
and
lightsome
Angels
;
vnder
glittering
cotes
,
or
glorious
titles
,
or
beauteous
faces
,
whom
they
would
defie
as
himselfe
.
And
as
the
freeborn
Israelite
might
become
a
seruant
,
either
by
forfaiture
vpon
trespasse
,
or
by
sale
,
or
by
spoile
in
warre
;
so
this
accursed
seruitude
is
incurred
the
same
waies
,
by
them
which
should
be
Christians
.
By
forfaiture
:
for
though
the
debt
and
trespasse
bee
to
God
,
yet
(
tradet
lictori
)
he
shall
deliuer
The
wages
of
sinne
is
death
;
And
what
death
?
not
the
death
of
the
body
,
in
the
seuering
of
the
soule
,
but
the
death
of
the
soule
,
in
the
separation
from
God
;
there
is
not
so
much
difference
betwixt
life
and
death
,
as
there
is
betwixt
the
first
death
and
the
second
.
Oh
wofull
wages
of
a
desperate
worke
.
Well
were
these
men
,
if
they
might
goe
vnpaide
,
and
serue
for
nothing
;
but
as
the
mercie
of
God
will
not
let
any
of
our
poore
seruices
to
him
goe
vnrewarded
;
so
will
not
his
iustice
suffer
the
contrarie
seruice
goe
vnpaid
;
in
flaming
fire
rendring
vengeance
to
them
that
know
not
God
,
and
those
that
obey
not
the
Gospell
of
our
Lord
Iesus
.
Beloued
,
as
that
worthy
Bishop
said
on
his
Euge
serue
bone
,
well
done
good
seruant
,
enter
into
thy
maisters
ioy
.
Now
hee
that
prescribes
the
act
(
seruice
,
)
must
also
prescribe
the
manner
;
(
Truely
,
totally
.
)
God
cannot
abide
wee
should
serue
him
with
a
double
heart
(
an
heart
&
an
heart
)
that
is
hypocritically
.
Neither
that
we
should
serue
him
with
a
false
heart
,
that
is
,
niggardly
and
vnwillingly
:
but
against
doubling
,
he
will
be
seru'd
in
truth
,
and
against
haluing
,
hee
will
bee
seru'd
with
all
the
heart
.
To
serue
God
and
not
in
truth
is
mockerie
.
To
serue
him
truely
and
not
with
the
whole
heart
is
a
base
dodging
with
God
.
This
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
eye-seruice
is
a
fault
with
men
:
but
let
vs
serue
God
,
but
while
he
sees
vs
,
it
is
enough
.
Behold
he
sees
vs
euery
where
.
If
hee
did
not
see
our
heart
,
it
were
enough
to
serue
him
in
the
face
;
and
if
the
heart
were
not
his
,
it
were
too
much
to
giue
him
a
part
of
it
;
but
now
that
he
made
this
whole
heart
of
outs
,
it
is
reason
he
should
bee
seru'd
with
it
;
and
now
that
hee
sees
the
inside
of
the
heart
,
it
is
madnesse
not
to
serue
him
In
truth
.
Those
serue
God
,
not
in
truth
,
which
(
Teraphim
)
Idols
hid
in
the
straw
;
or
rather
like
a
Philistims
Temple
,
that
hath
the
Arke
and
Dagon
vnder
one
roofe
;
That
come
in
euer
with
Naamans
exceptiues
,
Onely
in
this
:
Those
that
haue
let
downe
the
world
like
the
spies
into
the
bottome
of
the
well
of
their
heart
,
and
couer
the
mouth
of
it
with
wheare
:
I
meane
,
that
hide
great
oppressions
,
with
the
show
of
small
beneficences
:
Those
which
like
Salomons
false
Curtizan
,
cry
(
Diutdatur
)
and
are
willing
to
share
themselues
betwixt
God
and
the
world
.
And
certainely
,
this
is
a
noble
policie
of
the
Diuell
,
because
he
knowes
he
hath
no
right
to
the
heart
,
he
can
bee
glad
of
any
corner
;
but
with
all
he
knowes
,
that
if
hee
haue
any
,
hee
hath
all
;
for
where
hee
hath
any
part
,
God
will
haue
none
.
This
base-mindednesse
is
fit
for
that
euill
one
.
God
will
haue
all
,
or
nothing
.
It
was
an

reports
of
Valentinian
,
whom
when
the
souldiers
had
chosen
to
be
Emperour
,
they
were
consulting
to
haue
another
ioyned
with
him
.
No
(
my
souldiours
)
said
hee
,
it
was
in
your
power
to
giue
mee
the
Empire
,
while
I
had
it
not
:
but
now
when
I
haue
it
,
it
is
not
in
your
power
to
giue
me
a
partner
.
Wee
our selues
say
,
the
bed
and
the
throne
can
abide
no
riualls
.
May
wee
not
well
say
of
the
heart
,
as
Lot
of
Zoar
,
Is
it
not
a
little
one
?
Alas
it
is
euen
too
little
for
God
;
what
doe
wee
thinke
of
taking
an
Inmate
into
this
cottage
?
It
is
a
fauour
and
happinesse
,
that
the
God
of
glorie
will
vouchsafe
to
dwell
in
it
alone
.
Euen
so
(
O
God
)
take
thou
vp
these
roomes
for
thy selfe
;
and
inlarge
them
for
the
entertainment
of
thy
spirit
:
Haue
thou
vs
wholly
,
and
let
vs
haue
thee
.
Let
the
world
serue
it selfe
.
O
let
vs
serue
thee
,
with
all
our
hearts
.
God
hath
set
the
heart
on
worke
to
feare
,
the
hands
on
worke
to
serue
him
,
now
(
that
nothing
may
be
wanting
)
he
sets
the
head
on
worke
to
consider
;
and
that
,
not
so
much
the
Iudgements
of
God
,
(
yet
those
are
of
singular
vse
,
and
may
not
bee
forgotten
)
as
his
mercies
,
What
great
things
hee
hath
done
for
you
,
not
against
you
.
He
that
looked
vpon
his
owne
workes
,
and
saw
they
were
good
,
and
delighted
in
them
,
delights
that
wee
should
looke
vpon
them
too
,
and
applaud
his
wisedome
,
power
,
and
mercy
,
that
shines
in
them
.
Euen
the
least
of
Gods
works
are
worthy
of
the
obseruation
of
the
greatest
Angell
in
heauen
,
but
(
the
magnalia
dei
)
the
great
things
he
hath
done
,
are
more
worthy
of
our
wonder
,
of
our
astonishment
.
Great
things
indeed
that
he
did
for
Israel
;
hee
meant
to
make
that
Nation
a
precedent
of
mercie
;
that
all
the
world
might
see
what
he
could
doe
for
a
people
.
Heauen
and
earth
conspir'd
to
blesse
them
.
What
should
I
speake
of
the
wonders
of
Egypt
?
Surely
I
know
not
whether
their
preseruation
in
it
,
or
deliuerance
out
of
it
,
were
more
miraculous
.
Did
they
want
a
guide
?
himselfe
goes
before
them
in
fire
.
Did
they
want
a
shelter
?
his
cloud
is
spread
ouer
them
for
a
couering
.
Did
they
want
way
?
The
sea
it selfe
shall
make
it
;
and
bee
at
once
a
street
,
and
a
wall
to
them
.
Did
they
want
bread
?
Heauen
it selfe
shall
powre
downe
foode
of
Angels
.
Did
they
want
meate
to
their
bread
?
The
winde
shall
bring
them
whole
driftes
of
quailes
into
their
tents
.
Doe
they
want
drinke
to
both
?
The
verie
Rocke
shall
yeeld
it
them
.
Doe
they
want
suites
of
apparell
?
Their
very
clothes
shall
not
waxe
old
on
their
backes
.
Doe
they
want
aduise
?
God
himselfe
shall
giue
his
vocall
Oracle
between
the
Cherubins
.
Doe
they
want
a
law
?
God
shall
come
downe
vpon
Sinai
,
and
deliuer
it
in
fire
,
thundring
,
smoke
,
earthquakes
,
and
write
it
with
his
own
finger
,
in
tables
of
stone
.
Doe
they
want
habitations
?
God
shall
prouide
them
a
land
that
flowes
with
milke
and
hony
.
Are
they
persecuted
?
God
stands
in
fire
betweene
them
&
their
harmes
.
Are
they
stung
to
death
?
The
brazen
serpent
shal
cure
them
.
Are
they
resisted
?
The
walles
of
Iericho
shall
fall
downe
alone
;
hailestones
braine
their
enemies
.
The
Sunne
shal
stand
still
in
heauen
,
to
see
Ioshuahs
reuenge
and
victory
.
Oh
great
and
mighty
things
that
God
did
for
Israel
!
And
if
any
Nation
vnder
heauen
could
either
parallel
or
second
Israel
in
the
fauours
of
God
,
this
poore
little
Iland
of
ours
is
it
.
The
cloud
of
his
protection
hath
couer'd
vs
.
The
bloud-red
sea
of
persecution
hath
giuen
way
to
vs
,
and
wee
are
passed
it
dry-shod
.
The
true
Manna
from
heauen
is
rained
downe
abundantly
about
our
tents
.
The
water
of
Life
gusheth
forth
plenteously
to
vs
:
The
better
law
of
the
Gospell
is
giuen
vs
from
heauen
by
the
hands
of
his
Sonne
:
The
walles
of
the
spirituall
Ierocho
are
fallen
downe
before
vs
,
at
the
blast
of
the
trumpets
of
God
;
and
cursed
be
hee
that
goes
about
to
build
them
vp
againe
.
Now
therefore
,
that
we
may
come
more
close
to
the
taske
of
this
day
;
Let
mee
say
to
you
,
as
Samuel
to
his
Israelites
,
Consider
with
mee
what
great
things
the
Lord
hath
done
for
vs
:
and
as
one
wish't
that
the
enuious
had
eyes
in
euery
place
,
so
could
I
seriously
wish
,
that
all
which
haue
ill
will
at
our
Sion
,
had
their
eares
with
mee
but
one
houre
,
that
if
they
belong
not
to
God
,
they
might
burst
with
Iudas
,
which
repine
with
Iudas
at
this
seasonable
cost
of
the
precious
ointment
of
our
praises
.
If
I
should
looke
back
to
the
ancient
mercies
of
God
,
and
shew
you
that
this
kingdome
(
though
diuided
from
the
world
)
was
one
of
the
first
that
receiued
the
Gospel
:
That
it
yeelded
the
first
Christian
Emperour
that
gaue
peace
and
honour
to
the
Church
:
The
first
and
greatest
lights
that
shone
forth
in
the
darkest
of
Popery
,
to
all
the
world
;
and
that
it
was
the
first
kingdome
that
shooke
Antichrist
fully
out
of
the
saddle
.
I
might
finde
iust
matter
of
praise
and
exultation
,
but
I
will
turne
ouer
no
other
Chronicles
but
your
memory
.
This
day
alone
hath
matter
enough
of
an
eternall
gratulation
.
For
this
is
the
communis
terminus
,
wherein
Gods
fauours
meete
vpon
our
heads
;
which
therefore
represents
to
vs
,
both
what
wee
had
,
and
what
wee
haue
.
The
one
to
our
sense
,
the
other
to
our
remembrance
.
This
day
was
both
Queene
Elizabeths
Initium
gloriae
,
and
King
James
his
Initium
regni
.
To
her
Natalitium
salutis
,
as
the
passion-dayes
of
the
Martyrs
were
called
of
old
;
and
Natalis
Imperij
to
him
.
These
two
names
shew
vs
happinesse
enough
to
take
vp
our
hearts
and
tongues
for
euer
.
And
first
,
why
should
it
not
be
our
perpetuall
glorie
and
reioicing
,
that
we
were
her
subiects
?
Oh
blessed
Queene
,
the
mother
of
this
Nation
,
the
nurse
of
this
Church
,
the
glorie
of
womanhood
,
the
enuie
and
example
of
forraine
Nations
,
the
wonder
of
times
,
how
sweet
and
sacred
shall
thy
memory
bee
to
all
posterities
?
how
is
thy
name
not
Parables
of
the
dust

and
those
that
durst

on
the

bring
her
now
dead
(
as
I
haue
heard
by
those
that

into
their

,
like
a

Ghost
,
attended
with
fiends
and
firebrands
,
to
the
terrour
of
their
ignorant
beholders

Yet

wee
saw
she
neuer
prospered
so
well
,
as
when
she
was

cursed
by
their

now
wee
hope
shee
is
rather
so
much
more
glorious
in
heauen
,
by
how
much
they
are
more
malicious
on
earth
.
These
arrogant
wretches
,
that
can
at
their
pleasure
fetch
Salomon
from

to

,
and
Traian
and
Falconella

Campian
and
Garnet
from

to

,
Queene
Elizabeth
from
earth
to

,
shall
finde
one
day
that
they
haue
mistaken
the
keyes
,
and
shall
know
,
what
it
is
to
iudge
,
by
being
iudged
.
In
the
meane
time
,
in
spight
of
the
gates
of
Rome
,
Memoria

in

.
To
omit
those
vertues
which
were
proper
to
her
sexe
,
by
which
she
deserued
to
be
the
Queene
of
women
,
how
excellent
were
her
Masculine
graces
of
learning
,
valour
,
wisedome
,
by
which
she
might
iustly
challenge
to
bee
the
Queene
of
men
.
So
learned
was
shee
,
that
shee
could
giue
present
answeres
,
to
Embassadours
in
their
own
tongues
,
or
if
they
listed
to
borrow
of
their
neighbours
,
shee
paid
them
in
that
they
borrowed
.
So
valiant
,
that
her
name
like
Ziscaes
drum
,
made
the
proudest
Romanists
to
quake
.
So
wise
that
whatsoeuer
fell
out
happily
against
the
common
Aduersarie
in
France
,
Netherlands
,
Ireland
,
Many
daughters
haue
done
worthily
,
but
thou
surmountest
them
all
.
Such
was
the
sweetnesse
of
her
gouernement
,
and
such
the
feare
of
miserie
in
her
losse
,
that
many
worthy
Christians
desired
their
eyes
might
be
closed
before
hers
;
and
how
many
thousands
therefore
welcomed
their
owne
death
,
because
it
preuented
hers
.
Euery
one
pointed

The

those

Let
me
begin
with
that
(
which
the
heathen
man
required
to
the
happinesse
of
any
state
)
his
learning
&
knowledge
,
wherein
I
may
safely
say
hee
exceedeth
all
his
105.
predecessors
.
Our
Conquerour
King
Bellarmine
,
and
his
maister
Pope
Paulus
,
is
such
,
that
Plessis
and
Mouline
(
the
two
great
lights
of
France
)
professe
to
receiue
their
light
in
this
discourse
,
from
his
beames
;
and
the
learned
Iesuite
Salkeild
,
could
not
but
bee
conuerted
with
the
necessitie
of
those
demonstrations
;
and
I
may
boldly
say
,
Poperie
(
since
it
was
)
neuer
receiued
so
deepe
a
wound
from
any
worke
,
as
from
that
of
His.
What
King
euer
moderated
the
solemne
acts
of
an
Vniuersitie
in
all
professions
,
and
had
so
many
hands
clapt
in
the
applause
of
his
acute
,
and
learned
determinations
?
Briefely
,
such
is
his
intire
acquaintance
with
all
sciences
,
and
with
the
Queene
of
all
,
Diuinitie
,
that
hee
might
well
dispute
with
the
infallible
Pope
Paulus
5us
for
his
triple
crowne
;
and
I
would
all
Christian
quarrels
lay
vpon
this
duell
.
His
iustice
in
gouerning
matcheth
his
knowledge
how
to
gouerne
;
for
as
one
that
knowes
the
common-wealth
cannot
bee
vnhappie
,
wherein
(
according

;
may
in
some
sence
,
bee
iustly
verified
of
our
mercifull
Soueraigne
.
I
pray
GOD
the
measure
of
this
vertue
may
neuer
hurt
himselfe
,
I
am
sure
the
want
of
it
shall
neuer
giue
cause
of
complaint
to
his
aduersaries
.
But
among
all
his
Heroicall
Graces
,
which
commend
him
as
a
man
,
as
a
Christian
,
as
a
King
;
Pietie
and
firmenesse
in
Religion
cals
mee
to
it
,
and
will
not
suffer
me
to
defer
the
mention
of
it
any
longer
.
A
priuate
man
vnsetled
in
opinion
,
is
like
a
loose
tooth
in
the
head
,
troublesome
and
vse-lesse
,
but
a
publique
person
vnstayed
,
is
dangerous
.
Resolution
for
the
truth
is
so
much
better
then
knowledge
,
by
how
much
the
possessing
of
a
treasure
,
is
better
then
knowing
where
it
is
.
With
what
zeale
did
his
Maiestie
fly
vpon
the
blasphemous
nouelties
of
Vorstius
?
How
many
sollicitations
,
threats
,
promises
,
profers
hath
he
trampled
vnder
his
feete
in
former
times
,
for
but
a
promise
of
an
indifferent
conniuencie
at
the
Romish
religion
?
Was
it
not
an
answere
worthy

worthy

Hath

not
so
ingaged
himselfe
in
this
holie
quarrell
,
that
the
world
confesses
Rome
had
neuer
such
an
Aduersarie
?
and
all

Princes
reioice
to
follow
him
as
their
worthy
leader
,
in
all
the
battels
of
God
;

stile
him

But
because

,
so

are
more
kindly
,
when
they
are
cast
oblique
vpon
their

then
when

let

shew
you
him
rather
in

then
in
the

And

brought
an

and
shut
the
iron

Whither

Wherein
I
may
not
omit
how
right
he
hath
trod
in
the
steps
of
that
blessed
Constantine
,
in
all
his
religious
proceedings

Let
vs
in

word
parrallel
them
.
Constantine

to
be

.
King
Iames
hath
caused
the
bookes
of
Scriptures
to
bee
accurately
translated
,
and
published
by
thousands
.
Constantine
made
a
zealous
edict
against
Nouatians
,
Valentinians
,
Marcionites
.
King
Iames
,
besides
his
powerfull
proclamations
and
soueraine
lawes
hath
effectually
written
against
Popery
,
and
Vorstianisme
.
Constantine
tooke
O
Lord
protect
the
Kingdomes
which
thou
hast
vnited
.
Lastly
,
Constantine
built
Churches
;
one
in
Hierusalem
,
the
Gospel
,
and
for
the
spirit
of
this
life
,
his

But
hee
that

laugh't

at

;
to
see
their
presumption
that
would
be
sending
vp

,
and
preferring
companions
to
Elias

and
said
(

Consider
now
how
great
things
the
Lord
hath
done
for
vs
;
The
snare
is
broken
,
and
wee
are
deliuered

But
how
?

How
cheerefully

,

Deliuerance
,
should

To

Iames
crowned
of
God
,
the
great
and
peaceable
Emperour
of
Britanie

And
let
GOD

These
were
great
things
indeed
,
that
God
did
for
Israel
;
great
that
hee
hath
done
for
vs
;
Great
for
the
present
,
not
certaine
for
the
future
.
They
had
not
,
no
more
haue
wee
,
the
blessings
of
God
by
entayle
,
or
by
lease
.
Onely
at
the
good
will
of
the
Lord
;
and
that
is
,
during
our
good
behauiour
.
Sinne
is
a
forfaiture
of
all
fauours
.
Jf
you
doe
wickedly
,
you
shall
perish
.
It
was
not
for
nothing
,
that
the
same
word
in
the
originall
signifies
both
sinne
and
punishment
;
These
two
are
inseparable
.
There
is
nothing
but
a
little
prioritie
in
time
betweene
them
.
The
Angels
did
wickedly
,
they
perish't
by
their
fall
from
heauen
.
The
old
world
did
wickedly
,
they
perish't
by
waters
from
heauen
.
The
Sodomites
did
wickedly
,
they
perish't
by
fire
from
heauen
.
Corah
and
his
company
did
wickedly
,
they
perish't
by
the
earth
.
The
Egyptians
did
wickedly
,
they
perish't
by
the
Sea
.
The
Canaanites
did
wickedly
,
they
perish't
by
the
sword
of
Israel
.
The
Israelites
did
wickedly
,
they
perish't
by
pestilence
,
serpents
,
Philistims
.
What
should
I
runne
my selfe
out
of
breath
,
in
this
endlesse
course
of
examples
?
There
was
neuer
sinne
but
it
had
a
punishment
,
either
in
the
Actor
,
or
in
the
Redeemer
.
There
was
neuer
punishment
,
but
was
for
sinne
.
Heauen
should
haue
no
quarrell
against
vs
;
Hell
could
haue
no
power
ouer
vs
,
but
for
our
sinnes
.
Those
aie
they
that
haue
plagued
vs
,
those
are
they
that
threaten
vs
.
But
what
shall
bee
the
iudgement
?
Perishing
.
To
whom
?
To
you
and
your
King
.
He
doth
not
say
,
If
your
King
doe
wickedly
you
shall
perish
,
as
sometimes
he
hath
done
.
Nor
if
your
King
doe
wickedly
hee
shall
perish
,
although
Kings
are
neither
priuiledged
from
sinnes
,
nor
from
iudgements
.
Nor
if
you
doe
wickedly
,
you
onely
shall
perish
;
but
if
yee
doe
wickedly
,
yee
and
your
King
shall
perish
.
So
neare
a
relation
is
there
betwixt
the
King
and
Subiect
,
that
the
sinne
of
the
one
reaches
to
the
iudgement
of
the
other
,
and
the
iudgement
of
the
one
,
is
the
smart
of
both
.
The
King
is
the
head
;
the
Commons
the
stomach
;
if
the
head
be
sicke
,
the
stomach
is
affected
.
Dauid
sins
,
the
people
dye
.
If
the
stomach
bee
sick
,
the
head
complaines
.
For
the
transgression
of
the
people
are
many
Princes
.
What
could
haue
snatch't
from
our
Head
that
sweet
Prince
,
of
fresh
and
bleeding
memorie
,
(
that
might
iustly
haue

,
but
our
trayterous
wickednesses
?
His
Christian
modestie
vpon
his
death-bed
could
charge
himselfe
.
(
No
,
no
,
I
haue
sins
enow
of
mine
owne
to
doe
this
:
)
But
this
very
accusation
did
cleare
him
,
and
burden
vs
.
O
glorious
Prince
,
they
are
our
sinnes
that
are
guilty
of
thy
death
,
and
our
losse
.
We
haue
done
wickedly
,
thou
perishedst
.
An
harsh
word
for
thy
glorifyed
condition
.
But
such
a
perishing
,
as
is
incident
to
Saints
;
(
for
there
is
a
Perire
de
medio
,
as
well
as
a
Perire
a
facie
,
)
a
perishing
from
the
earth
,
as
well
as
a
perishing
from
God
.
It
was
a
ioyfull
perishing
to
thee
.
Our
sinnes
haue
aduantaged
thy
soule
,
which
is
partly
therefore
happie
,
because
wee
were
vnworthy
of
thee
;
but
they
haue
robbed
vs
of
our
happinesse
in
thee
.
Oh
our
treacherous
sinnes
,
that
haue
offred
this
violence
to
that
sweet
hopefull
sacred
person
!
And
doe
they
not
yet
still
conspire
against
him
that
is
yet
dearer
to
vs
,
the
roote
of
these
goodly
branches
,
the
breath
of
our
nosthrils
,
the
Anointed
of
God
?
Brethren
,
let
mee
speake
it
confidently
.
As
euery
sinne
is
a
Traytor
to
a
mans
own
soule
,
so
euery
wicked
man
is
a
Traitor
to
his
King
.
Yea
euerie
one
of
his
crying
sinnes
is
a
false
hearted
rebell
that
hides
ponder
and
pocket-dags
for
the
precious
life
of
his
Soueraine
.
Any

learne

euen
of

I

What

I
say
,
that

man

be

,
so
a
lewd
man
can
no
more
be
a

then

Let
him
sooth
,
and
sweare
what
he
will
,
his
sinnes
are
so
many
treasons
against
the
Prince
and
State
,
for
Ruine

Ezechiel
.
Alas

amongst
you
,
if
euer
yee
ratled

terrible
iudgements
of
God
against

now
doe
it
;
for
(
contrarie

the

good

in

fauour
is
our

Away
with
those
rebellious
wickednesses
which
may
bee
preiudiciall
to
our
peace
.
In
vaine
shall
wee
testifie
our
loyaltie
by
these
outward
ceremonies
of
reioycing
,
if
wee
bee
faulty
in
the
substance
.
To
what
purpose
shall
wee
ring
our
bels
,
if
in
the
meane
time
we
hold
fast
Salomons
(
funes

Doe

They

sins
which
as
they
threaten
to
lose

our
best
friend
aboue
,
(
the
God
of

so
they
harten
our

Their

,
their

,
their
wickednesse
to

ours
to
God
.
If
they
did
not
see
we
did
euill

they
durst
not
hope
we

Authoritie
hath
wisely
and
seasonably
taken

for

Recusants

What

hands

Oh
that
it
could
take
order
to
strip

our
sinnes
,
which
will
else
arme
God
and
his
creatures
against

The
gates
of
Rome

the
gates
of

,
could
not

if
wee
did

Oh
that
wee
could

loue

as
to

that
we

How

How
