MY
Text
(
you
heare
)
is
of
Iustice
and
peace
,
two
royall
graces
;
and
such
as
flow
from
soueraigne
Maiesty
:
There
is
a
double
Iustice
,
Diuine
and
humane
;
there
is
a
double
peace
,
outward
in
the
state
,
inward
in
the
soule
:
Accordingly
,
there
is
a
double
sense
of
my
Text
;
a
spirituall
,
a
ciuill
sense
:
The
spirituall
concerning
Theologicall
Iustice
,
and
inward
peace
;
The
ciuill
concerning
humane
Iustice
and
outward
peace
.
The
spirituall
thus
;
The
Messias
shall
cause
the
fruit
of
his
perfect
iustice
to
be
our
inward
peace
with
God
,
and
our selues
.
The
ciuill
thus
;
The
Magistrate
shall
cause
the
worke
of
ciuill
Iustice
in
his
administration
,
to
be
our
outward
peace
with
one
another
:
In
both
,
or
either
(
as
Musculus
well
)
there
is
an
allusion
in
the
Hebrew
word
to
a
field
;
the
soile
is
the
heart
or
the
State
,
the
seed
is
Iustice
,
the
fruit
peace
:
That
which
was
waste
ground
is
now
a
Carmell
,
a
fruitfull
field
;
and
the
fruit
of
this
field
of
Iustice
is
peace
.
As
there
is
good
reason
,
we
will
beginne
with
the
spirituall
Iustice
and
Peace
.
The
great
King
of
Heauen
will
disforest
that
peece
of
the
world
,
which
he
calls
his
Church
,
and
put
it
to
tillage
;
it
shall
bee
sowne
with
righteousnesse
,
and
shal
yeeld
a
sweet
crop
of
peace
:
in
this
only
,
not
in
the
barren
heaths
of
the
prophane
world
shall
true
peace
grow
.
At
first
,
God
and
man
were
good
friends
:
How
should
there
be
other
than
good
termes
betwixt
Heauen
and
Paradise
?
God
made
man
iust
;
and
iust
man
(
whiles
he
was
so
)
could
not
chuse
but
loue
the
iust
God
that
made
him
;
sinne
set
them
at
odds
;
in
one
act
and
instant
did
man
leese
both
his
iustice
and
peace
;
now
the
world
is
changed
;
now
the
stile
of
God
is
Fortis
vltor
,
S.
Paul
,
so
much
affront
to
Pelagius
,
as
to
renounce
this
;
freely
anathematizing
that
man
who
by
the
strength
of
humane
nature
,
or
the
doctrine
of
the
Law
,
shall
challenge
iustification
;
Vnlesse
perhaps
some
Andradius
haue
priuilege
to
teach
,
that
this
Ethica
Iustitia
,
The
Euangelicall
Iustice
is
not
without
the
interuention
of
a
Sauiour
▪
To
which
claime
is
laid
in
two
kindes
,
either
as
imputatiue
,
or
as
inherent
;
The
inherent
wrought
in
vs
:
the
imputed
wrought
for
vs
.
How
easie
were
it
to
lead
you
through
a
thicke
of
distinctions
into
a
large
field
of
controuersie
,
concerning
the
nature
,
meanes
,
manner
of
our
Iustification
?
No
head
in
all
Diuinity
yeelds
either
more
,
or
more
important
Problems
▪
In
so
much
as
Cardinall
De
Monte
,
Vice-President
for
the
time
of
the
Councell
of
Trent
,
in
an
Oration
made
by
him
in
the
eleuenth
session
,
professes
,
that
when
they
meant
to
dispatch
their
Decree
concerning
Iustification
in
fifteene
daies
,
it
cost
them
seuen
moneths
to
finish
,
without
one
daies
intermission
;
and
when
all
is
done
,
they
haue
left
the
world
,
which
was
before
(
as
Pighius
ingenuously
)
intricated
by
the
thorny
questions
of
Schoolemen
,
rather
more
vnsatisfied
&
perplexed
than
they
found
it
.
It
is
the
maine
care
of
our
liues
,
and
deaths
,
what
shall
giue
vs
peace
and
acceptation
before
the
dreadfull
Tribunall
of
God
:
What
,
but
righteousnesse
?
What
righteousnesse
,
or
whose
?
Ours
,
or
Christs
?
Ours
,
in
the
inherent
graces
wrought
in
vs
,
in
the
holy
workes
wrought
by
vs
;
or
Christs
,
in
his
most
perfect
obedience
,
and
meritorious
satisfaction
wrought
for
vs
,
applied
to
vs
.
The
Tridentine
faction
is
for
the
former
;
wee
are
for
the
latter
;
God
is
as
direct
on
our
side
as
his
Word
can
make
him
;
Euery
where
blazoning
the
defects
of
our
owne
righteousnesse
,
the
imperfections
of
our
best
Graces
,
the
deadly
nature
of
our
least
sinnes
;
the
radicall
sinfulnesse
of
our
habituall
concupiscence
,
the
pollution
of
our
best
workes
:
Euery
where
extolling
the
perfect
obedience
of
our
Redeemer
,
the
gracious
application
of
that
obedience
,
the
sweet
comfort
of
that
application
,
the
assurance
and
vnfailablenesse
of
that
comfort
:
and
lastly
,
our
happy
rest
in
that
assurance
.
I
instance
not
;
open
the
Booke
,
see
where
your
eies
can
looke
beside
these
▪
Satis
aperti
(
saith
their
Cassander
)
The
Scripture
is
cleare
ours
,
So
is
all
antiquity
,
if
they
beleeue
that
learned
Arbiter
;
So
are
their
more
ingenuous
Doctors
of
the
last
age
;
So
would
they
all
be
,
if
they
had
grace
to
know
God
,
themselues
,
grace
,
sinne
,
heauen
,
hell
;
God
perfectly
iust
,
themselues
miserably
weake
,
Grace
sensibly
imperfect
,
sinne
vnmeasurably
sinfull
;
Lastly
,
if
they
knew
that
heauen
is
for
none
but
the
pure
,
that
hell
is
for
the
presumptuous
.
O
Sauiour
,
no
man
is
iust
through
thee
,
but
he
that
is
sanctified
by
thee
;
What
is
our
inherent
justice
,
but
sanctity
?
That
we
aspire
towards
,
we
attaine
not
to
;
Woe
were
vs
if
we
were
not
more
iust
in
thee
,
than
sanctified
in
our selues
;
we
are
sanctified
,
in
part
,
according
to
the
weaknesse
of
our
receit
;
we
are
iustified
thorowly
▪
according
to
the
perfection
of
thine
acceptation
;
were
we
fully
sanctified
here
,
we
should
be
more
than
men
;
were
we
not
thorowly
iustified
,
wee
should
be
no
more
than
sinners
before
thee
;
whiles
we
stand
before
thee
as
sinners
,
we
can
haue
no
peace
;
Let
others
trust
in
the
Charets
and
Horses
of
their
owne
strength
,
we
will
remember
the
Name
of
the
Lord
our
God
;
The
worke
of
thy
Iustice
shall
be
our
peace
.
Peace
is
a
sweet
word
;
Euery
body
would
be
glad
of
it
;
especially
Peace
at
the
last
,
as
the
Psalmist
speakes
:
How
haue
the
politickly
religious
held
out
twigs
for
the
drowning
soule
to
catch
at
?
Due
satisfactions
,
vndue
supererogations
,
patronages
of
Saints
,
bargaines
of
Indulgences
,
woollward
pilgrimages
,
and
at
last
(
after
whips
and
haire-clothes
)
leaue
the
dying
soule
to
a
feare
of
Hell
,
doubt
of
Heauen
,
assurance
of
Purgatory
flames
;
How
truly
may
it
now
say
to
these
Doctors
,
as
Iob
to
his
friends
,
Miserable
comforters
are
yee
all
;
Hearken
,
O
yee
deare
Christians
,
to
a
better
voice
that
sounds
from
heauen
;
Come
to
me
all
yee
that
labour
,
and
are
heauy
laden
,
and
I
will
giue
you
rest
.
Is
there
any
of
you
whose
vnquiet
breast
boiles
continually
with
the
conscience
of
any
foule
sinne
?
whose
heart
is
daily
tyr'd
vpon
by
the
vultur
of
his
secret
guiltinesse
?
whose
bosome
is
gnawed
before-hand
with
that
hellish
Worme
,
which
can
no
more
giue
ouer
than
die
?
It
boots
not
to
aske
thee
if
thou
wouldst
haue
peace
.
Oh
wherewithall
shall
I
come
before
the
Lord
,
and
bow
my selfe
before
the
most
high
God
?
Shall
I
come
before
him
with
burnt
offerings
?
Will
the
Lord
be
pleased
with
thousands
of
Rammes
,
or
with
tenne
thousand
Riuers
of
Oyle
?
Shall
I
giue
my
first
borne
for
my
transgression
,
the
fruit
of
my
body
for
the
sinne
of
my
soule
?
Heare
,
O
thou
distracted
heart
;
what
talkest
thou
of
giuing
to
the
owner
?
The
world
is
his
;
thou
art
not
thine
owne
;
Yea
,
were
these
things
thine
,
and
not
his
,
yet
know
,
it
is
not
giuing
,
but
taking
that
must
procure
thy
peace
:
An
infinite
Iustice
is
offended
;
an
infinite
Iustice
hath
satisfied
,
an
infinite
mercy
hath
applied
it
;
Take
thou
hold
by
the
hand
of
faith
on
that
infinite
mercy
,
and
justice
of
thy
Sauiour
;
The
worke
of
his
Iustice
shall
be
thy
peace
.
Fly
about
whither
thou
wilt
,
O
thou
weary
Doue
,
thorow
all
the
wide
Regions
of
the
heauen
,
and
waters
,
thou
shalt
no
where
finde
rest
for
the
soles
of
thy
feet
,
but
in
this
Arke
of
Christs
perfect
righteousnesse
:
In
vaine
shalt
thou
seeke
it
in
schooles
of
morality
,
in
learned
Libraries
,
in
spacious
fields
and
forrests
,
in
pleasant
gardens
,
in
sullen
retirednesse
,
in
witty
conuersation
,
in
wanton
Theaters
,
in
drunken
cellers
,
in
tables
of
gluttony
,
in
beds
of
lust
,
chests
of
Mammon
,
whiffes
and
draughts
of
intoxication
,
songs
of
ribaldry
,
sports
of
recreation
;
No
,
no
,
the
more
thou
seekest
it
in
most
of
these
,
the
further
it
flies
from
thee
,
the
further
thou
art
from
finding
it
;
and
if
these
things
may
giue
some
poore
truce
to
thy
thoughts
,
it
shall
soone
end
in
a
more
direfull
warre
.
There
is
no
peace
,
saith
my
God
,
to
the
wicked
:
Stray
whither
thou
wilt
,
O
thou
wounded
heart
,
thorow
the
Lawnds
and
Woods
;
alas
,
the
shaft
sticks
still
in
thee
,
or
if
that
bee
shaken
out
,
the
head
;
None
but
the
soueraigne
Dittany
of
thy
Sauiours
righteousnesse
can
driue
it
out
;
and
till
it
be
out
,
thou
canst
haue
no
peace
.
In
plaine
termes
;
wouldst
thou
haue
peace
?
None
but
Christ
can
giue
it
thee
;
He
will
giue
it
to
none
but
the
penitent
,
none
but
the
faithfull
;
Oh
spend
thy selfe
into
the
sighes
and
teares
of
true
repentance
;
and
then
raise
thy
humbled
soule
to
a
liuely
confidence
in
thine
all-sufficient
Redeemer
;
Set
thy
Lord
Iesus
betwixt
God
and
thy
sinnes
;
God
cannot
see
thy
debt
,
but
through
thine
acquittance
;
By
his
stripes
we
are
healed
,
by
his
wounds
we
are
stanched
,
by
his
death
we
are
quickned
,
by
his
righteousnesse
we
are
discharged
;
The
worke
of
his
righteousnesse
is
our
peace
.
Oh
safe
and
blessed
condition
of
beleeuers
;
Let
sinne
,
Satan
,
world
,
death
,
hell
,
doe
their
worst
;
Who
shall
lay
any
thing
to
the
charge
of
Gods
elect
;
It
is
God
that
iustifieth
:
who
shall
condemne
?
It
is
Christ
that
died
,
yea
rather
,
that
is
risen
againe
;
who
is
also
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
and
maketh
intercession
for
vs
:
Our
enemy
is
now
our
Father
,
our
Iudge
is
our
Sauiour
,
the
offended
our
surety
,
that
precious
bloud
our
ransome
,
that
perfect
righteousnesse
our
euerlasting
peace
.
Thus
much
of
our
spirituall
Iustice
,
and
Peace
.
The
Ciuill
followes
:
I
know
these
two
are
wide
termes
;
Iustice
comprises
all
vertue
,
as
Peace
all
blessings
;
For
that
is
iust
in
all
kinds
,
which
hath
a
meet
adequation
to
the
rule
;
All
vertue
therefore
conforming
vs
to
the
law
of
God
,
which
is
the
rule
of
perfection
,
challengeth
iustly
to
it selfe
a
stile
of
justice
.
Narrower
bounds
will
serue
our
turne
:
We
speake
of
Iustice
first
as
a
single
vertue
.
Habits
are
distinguished
by
their
acts
;
acts
by
their
obiects
.
The
obiect
of
all
morall
vertue
is
good
,
as
of
all
intellectuall
,
is
True
.
The
obiect
of
this
vertue
of
Iustice
is
the
good
of
men
in
relation
to
each
other
;
Other
vertues
order
a
man
in
regard
to
himselfe
;
Iustice
,
in
regard
to
another
.
This
good
being
either
common
,
or
priuate
;
common
of
all
,
priuate
of
some
;
the
acts
and
vertue
of
Iustice
must
bee
sutable
;
Either
,
as
man
stands
in
an
habitude
to
the
whole
body
;
or
as
he
stands
to
speciall
limbs
of
the
body
:
The
former
of
these
is
that
which
Philosophers
and
Casuists
call
a
legall
and
vniuersall
Iustice
.
The
latter
is
that
particular
Iustice
,
which
we
vse
to
distinguish
by
Distribution
,
and
Commutation
;
the
one
consisting
in
matter
of
Commerce
,
the
other
in
Reward
,
or
Punishment
;
both
of
them
according
to
a
meet
,
though
different
,
equality
:
An
Arithmeticall
equality
in
Commutation
;
a
Geometricall
in
distribution
;
the
former
regarding
the
value
,
or
worth
of
the
thing
,
the
latter
,
regarding
the
proportionable
difference
of
the
person
.
The
worke
of
all
these
three
Iustices
,
is
Peace
.
First
,
the
legall
Iustice
is
the
apparent
mother
and
nurse
of
publique
Peace
:
When
Gouernors
and
subiects
are
carefull
to
giue
each
other
their
owne
;
when
both
conspire
to
command
and
obey
for
the
common
good
;
when
men
frame
their
liues
to
the
wholsome
lawes
of
their
Soueraignes
,
not
more
out
of
feare
than
conscience
;
when
respect
to
the
community
caries
men
from
partiall
reflections
vpon
themselues
;
As
contrarily
distractions
,
and
priuate
ends
are
the
bane
of
any
state
.
When
the
head
and
members
vnite
their
thoughts
and
endeuours
in
the
center
of
the
common
good
:
the
head
to
deuise
and
command
,
the
eies
to
see
,
the
eare
to
heare
,
the
palate
to
taste
,
the
heart
to
moue
,
the
bellowes
of
the
lungs
to
blow
,
the
liuer
to
sanguifie
,
the
stomach
to
digest
,
the
guts
to
export
,
the
hands
to
execute
,
the
tongue
to
talke
for
the
good
of
this
naturall
Common-wealth
of
the
body
,
all
goes
well
and
happily
;
but
if
any
of
these
parts
will
be
gathering
to
themselues
,
and
obstructions
grow
within
;
and
mutinous
distempers
arise
in
the
humors
,
ruine
is
threatned
to
the
whole
:
If
either
the
Superiors
miscommand
,
or
the
inferiors
disobey
,
it
is
an
affront
to
Peace
.
I
need
not
tell
you
that
good
lawes
are
the
walls
of
the
Citie
,
the
sinewes
of
the
politicke
body
,
the
rule
of
our
life
,
the
life
of
our
state
,
without
which
men
would
turne
brute
,
yea
monstrous
;
the
world
were
a
Chaos
,
yea
an
hell
.
It
is
wisdome
that
makes
lawes
,
it
is
Iustice
that
keeps
them
;
Oh
let
this
Iustice
still
blesse
vs
with
a
perpetuall
peace
;
as
those
that
doe
not
thinke
the
world
made
for
vs
,
but
our selues
made
for
the
world
,
let
vs
driue
at
an
vniuersall
good
;
let
there
be
euer
that
sweet
correspondence
betwixt
Soueraignty
and
subiection
,
that
the
one
may
be
happy
in
the
other
,
both
in
peace
.
Secondly
,
the
distributiue
Iustice
is
not
lesse
fruitfull
of
peace
;
when
rewards
of
honors
,
&
gracious
respects
are
suited
to
the
well-deseruing
;
when
malefactors
smart
according
to
their
crimes
;
This
Iustice
hath
stocks
for
the
vagrant
,
whips
for
harlots
,
brands
for
pettylarzons
,
ropes
for
fellons
,
weights
for
the
contumaciously
silent
,
stakes
for
blasphemous
hereticks
,
gibbets
for
murtherers
,
the
hurdle
,
and
the
knife
,
and
the
pole
for
traitors
;
and
vpon
all
these
engines
of
Iustice
hangs
the
garland
of
peace
.
It
was
not
for
nothing
that
Maximilian
the
first
,
passing
by
the
gallowes
,
saluted
it
with
Salue
Iustitia
.
Ye
neuer
see
Iustice
painted
without
a
sword
;
when
that
sword
glitters
with
vse
,
it
is
well
with
the
publique
,
woe
be
to
the
Nation
where
it
rusts
.
There
can
bee
no
more
acceptable
sacrifice
than
the
bloud
of
the
flagitious
.
Immediatly
after
Garnets
execution
,
Father
Dauid
at
Ypre
;
in
a
publike
Sermon
declared
the
miracles
showne
thereat
;
Amongst
the
rest
,
that
a
spring
of
oyle
brake
forth
suddenly
in
the
place
where
that
Saint
was
martyred
;
Instead
of
a
lie
,
let
it
be
a
parable
;
The
bloud
of
Traitors
shed
by
the
sword
of
Iustice
,
is
a
well
of
oyle
to
fatten
,
and
refresh
the
Common-wealth
.
I
know
well
how
mercy
befits
the
mouths
of
Gods
Ministers
:
The
soft
tongue
of
a
Diuine
is
no
meet
whetstone
for
the
edge
of
seueritie
;
but
withall
,
I
dare
say
,
that
Iustice
is
a
noble
worke
of
mercy
;
neither
need
we
wish
to
be
more
charitable
,
than
the
God
of
mercy
that
saies
,
Thine
eie
shall
not
spare
the
murtherer

The
very
sonnes
of
Leui
were
appointed
to
win
an
euerlasting
blessing
,
by
consecrating
their
hands
to
God
in
Israelitish
bloud
:
The
vniust
fauour
,
and
plausibilitie
of
Romish
Doctors
,
towards
capitall
offenders
,
hath
made
their
Sanctuaries
(
euen
literally
)
a
denne
of
theeues
,
an
harbour
of
villany
.
It
is
memorable
of
Lewis
of
France
,
(
stiled
the
Saint
)
that
he
reuersed
a
pardon
wrought
from
him
to
a
malefactor
;
vpon
reading
that
verse
in
the
Psalme
,
Beati
qui
faciunt
iustitiam
in
omni
tempore
;
Blessed
are
they
that
doe
iustice
at
all
times
:
No
maruell
if
one
of
those
foure
things
which
Isabell
of
Spaine
was
wont
to
say
,
she
loued
to
see
;
were
,
A
Theefe
vpon
the
ladder
;
Euen
through
his
halter
might
she
see
the
prospect
of
peace
.
Woe
bee
to
them
that
either
for
gaine
or
priuate
interest
ingage
themselues
in
the
suit
of
fauour
to
maliciously
bloudy
hands
;
that
,
by
the
dam
of
their
bribes
labour
to
stop
the
due
course
of
punitiue
Iustice
;
these
,
these
are
the
enemies
of
peace
;
these
staine
the
land
with
that
Crimson
die
,
that
cannot
be
washed
out
but
by
many
wofull
lauers
of
reuenge
:
Farre
,
farre
be
it
from
any
of
you
,
generous
Christians
,
to
endeuour
either
to
corrupt
,
or
interrupt
the
waies
of
iudgement
,
or
for
a
priuate
benefit
to
crosse
the
publique
peace
:
Woe
be
to
those
partiall
Iudges
,
that
iustifie
the
wicked
,
and
condemne
the
innocent
;
the
girdle
of
whose
equitie
saggs
downe
on
that
side
where
the
purse
hangs
:
Lastly
,
woe
to
those
vnworthy
ones
that
raise
themselues
by
fraud
,
bribes
,
symony
,
sacrilege
;
therefore
are
these
enemies
to
the
state
,
because
to
peace
;
and
therefore
enemies
to
peace
,
because
violaters
of
justice
,
And
the
worke
of
Iustice
is
peace
.
Thirdly
,
that
commutatiue
Iustice
workes
peace
;
needs
no
other
proofe
than
that
all
the
reall
brabbles
and
suits
amongst
men
,
arise
from
either
true
or
pretended
iniustice
of
contracts
.
Let
me
lead
you
in
a
tearme
morning
to
the
spacious
Hall
of
Iustice
:
What
is
the
cause
of
all
that
concourse
?
that
Hiue-like
murmur
?
that
noise
at
the
barre
,
but
iniurious
bargaines
,
fraudulent
conueyances
,
false
titles
,
disappointment
of
trusts
,
wrongfull
detrusions
of
money
,
goods
,
lands
,
couzenages
,
oppressions
,
extortions
:
Could
the
honesty
and
priuate
Iustice
of
men
preuent
these
enormities
,
silence
and
solitude
would
dwell
in
that
wide
Palace
of
Iustice
;
neither
would
there
bee
more
Pleas
than
Cob-webs
vnder
that
vast
roofe
.
Euery
way
therefore
it
is
cleere
,
that
the
worke
of
Iustice
is
peace
;
In
so
much
as
the
Guardians
of
peace
are
called
Iusticers
.
This
for
the
Common-wealth
;
If
it
please
you
to
cast
your
eies
vpon
her
Sister
the
Church
,
you
shall
finde
that
the
outward
peace
thereof
also
must
arise
from
Iustice
.
Alas
;
thence
is
our
hopelesnesse
:
Neuer
may
they
prosper
that
loue
not
,
that
wish
not
peace
within
those
sacred
walls
;
but
what
possibility
of
peace
in
the
peremptory
repulses
of
Iustice
?
What
possibility
of
Iustice
in
the
long
vsurped
tyranny
of
the
successor
of
Romulus
?
Could
we
hope
to
see
Iustice
once
shine
from
those
seuen
hills
,
we
would
make
account
of
peace
;
but
,
oh
,
the
miserable
iniustice
of
that
imperious
Sea
;
Iniustice
of
claime
,
iniustice
of
practice
.
Of
claime
,
ouer
Kings
,

Ouer

there

How

you

the
calculation
of
the

of
the

great

:
How

As

they

of

Nicholas
;

Pope
Adrian
:
What

Let

The

Ouer

There
is
challenged
a
proper
head-ship
from
whom
all
influences
of
life
,

,
motion
come
;
as
their
Bozius
;
why
said
I
ouer
?
Hee
is
vnder

:
For
he
is
the
foundation
of
the
Church
saith
Bellarmine
;
Ouer
as
the
head
,
vnder

foundation
?
What
can

be

?
Thence

where

of

;
Who
but

is

,
as
their
Andradius
:
he
alone
hath
infallibility
&
indefectibility
,
Bellarmine
.
Hee
hath
power
to
make
new
Creeds
,
and
to
obtrude
them
to
the
Church
;

deniall
whereof
was

those
Articles

Leo

A

A
power

Ouer

of

;
In

And
in
euery
oath
is
vnderstood
a
reseruation
and
exception
of
the
Popes
power
,
say
his
Parasites
.
I
am
ashamed
to
tell
,
and
you
would
blush
to
heare
of
the
dispensation
reported
to
be
granted
by
Sixtus

to
the
family
of
the
Cardinall
of
Saint
Lucie
;
and
by
Alexander

to
Peter

Cardinall
of
Valentia
.
And
as
there
is
horrible
iniustice
in
these
claimes
;
so
is
there
no
lesse
in
practise
.
Take
a
taste
for
all
:
What
can
be
more
vniust
than
to
cast
out
of
the
lap
of
the
Church
those
that
oppose
their
nouelties
,
to
condemne
them
to
the
stake
,
to
hell
for
Heretikes
.
What
more
vniust
than
to
falsifie
the
writings
of
ancient
,
or
moderne
authors
by
secret
expurgations
by
wilfull
mis-editions
?
what
more
vniust
than
the
with
holding
the
remedy
of
generall
Councels
,
and
transacting
all
the
affaires
of
the
Church
by
a
pack't
Conclaue
?
What
more
vniust
than
the
suppression
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
mutilation
of
the
Sacrament
to
the
Laity
.
What
more
vniust
than
allowance
of
equiuocation
;
than
vpholding
a
faction
by
willing
falshood
of
rumors
,
than
plotting
the
subuersion
of
King
and
state
by
vnnaturall
conspiracies
?
Well
may
we
call
heauen
and
earth
to
record
against
the
iniustice
of
these
claimes
,
of
these
practises
.
What
then
?
Is
it
to
hope
for
peace
,
notwithstanding
the
continuance
of
all
these
?
So
the
worke
of
Iniustice
shall
be
peace
:
And
an
vniust
and
vnsound
peace
must
it
needs
be
that
arises
from
Iniustice
;
Is
it
to
hope
they
will
abandon
these
things
for
Peace
?
Oh
that
the
Church
of
God
might
once
be
so
happy
:
That
there
were
but
any
life
in
that
possibilitie
;
In
the
meane
time
,
let
God
and
his
holy
Angels
witnesse
betwixt
vs
,
that
on
their
part
the
peace
faileth
;
we
are
guiltlesse
:
What
haue
we
done
?
What
haue
wee
attempted
?
what
haue
we
innouated
?
Onely
wee
haue
stood
vpon
a
iust
and
modest
negatiue
,
and
haue
vniustly
suffered
.
Oh
that
all
the
innocent
bloud
wee
haue
shed
could
wash
their
hands
from
Iniustice
,
from
enmity
to
Peace
.
That
from
them
wee
may
returne
to
our selues
;
For
the
publique
,
wee
enioy
an
happy
Peace
;
Blessed
be
God
for
Iustice
:
and
if
in
this
common
harmony
of
Peace
,
there
be
found
some
priuate
iarres
of
discord
,
whence
is
it
but
from
our
owne
Iniustice
?
The
world
is
of
another
minde
;
whose
wont
is
to
censure
him
that
punishes
the
fault

Seuerity

Let
the
question
bee
who
is

of

comst
not
downe
at
all
,
vnlesse
it
please
that
essentiall
and
infinite
Iustice
to
communicate
thee
to
some
choyce
fauourites
.
It
is
but
a
iust
word
,
that
this
Iland
hath
beene
long
approued
the
darling
of
heauen
;
We
haue
enioyed
peace
,
to
the
admiration
,
to
the
enuie
of
neighbourhood
:
Would
we
continue
it
?
would
we
traduce
it
to
ours
?
Iustice
must
doe
it
for
vs
.
Both
Iustice
,
and
Peace
,
are
from
the
throne
;
Peace
is
the
Kings
Peace
;
and
Iustice
descends
from
Soueraignty
by
commission
;
Let
me
haue
leaue
to
say
with
the
princely
Prophet
(
a
word
that
was
too
good
for
the
frequent
text
of
a
Pope
)
Diligite
iustitiam
qui
iudicatis
terram
.
Still
,
ô
God
,
giue
thy
iudgements
to
the
King
,
and
thy
Iustice
to
the
Kings
sonne
.
And
if
any
shall
offer
wrong
to
the
Lords
anointed
in
his
person
,
in
his
seed
,
the
worke
of
that
iniustice
shall
be
war
;
yea
Bellum
Domini
,
the
Lords
war
,
(

Then
let
him
who
is
both
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
and
the
God
of
peace
,
rise
vp
mightily
for
his
anointed
,
the
true
King
of
Peace
;
that
he
who
hath
graciously
said
all
this
while
,
Da
pacem
,
Domine
,
Giue
peace
in
our
time
,
O
Lord
,
may
superscribe
at
the
last
his
iust
Trophees
,
with
,
Blessed
bee
the
Lord
which
teacheth
my
hands
to
warre
,
and
my
fingers
to
fight
.
Ye
haue
heard
of
the
spirituall
Iustice
and
Peace
;
Yee
haue
heard
of
the
Ciuill
;
may
it
please
you
to
mix
both
of
them
together
:
My
text
alone
doth
it
;
if
you
doe
but
with
our
most
accurate
Translation
,
reade
Righteousnesse
for
Iustice
;
So
shall
you
see
the
spirituall
disposition
of
Righteousnesse
produce
the
ciuill
effect
of
Peace
,
What
is
Righteousnesse
,
but
the
sincere
vprightnes
of
the
heart
to
God
in
all
our
waies
:
He
is
perfect
with
God
,
that
would
be
so
:
What
need
I
tell
you
that
this
is
the
way
to
true
inward
peace

By

It
followes
then
as
a
iust
corollary
,
That
the
honestest
,
and
conscionablest
man
is
the
best
subiect
:
He
may
perhaps
be
plaine
,
perhaps
poore
,
perhaps
weake
,
but
the
state
is
more
beholden
to
his
integrity
,
than
to
the
ablest
purse
,
than
to
the
strongest
arme
;
Whereas
the
gracelesse
,
and
vicious
person
,
let
him
be
neuer
so
plausible
a
talker
,
neuer
so
carefull
an
Officer
,
neuer
so
valiant
a
Leader
,
neuer
so
officious
a
courtier
,
neuer
so
deepe
in
subsidies
,
neuer
so
forward
in
actions
,
is
no
other
than
an
enemy
to
the
state
,
which
hee
professes
to
adore
.
malus
vir
bonus
ciuis
;
I
say
from
better
authoritie
,
that
a
lewd
man
can
no
more
be
a
good
subiect
,
than
an
ill
subiect
can
bee
a
good
man
:
Heare
this
then
(
wheresoeuer
ye
are
)
ye
secret
oppressors
,
ye
profane
scoffers
,
yee
foule-mouth'd
swearers
,
yee
close
adulterers
,
ye
kind
drunkards
,
and
who
euer
come
within
this
blacke
list
of
wickednesse
,
how
can
ye
be
loyall
,
whiles
you
lodge
traytors
in
your
bosomes
?
Protest
what
ye
will
;
your
sins
breake
the
peace
,
and
conspire
against
the
sacred
Crowne
,
and
dignitie
of
your
Soueraigne
;
What
care
wee
that
you
draw
your
sword
,
and
vow
your
bloud
,
and
drinke
your
healths
to
your
Gouernours
,
when
in
the
meane
while
you
prouoke
God
to
anger
,
and
set
quarrels
betwixt
your
Country
and
Heauen
?
That
I
may
winde
vp
this
clew
;
It
were
folly
to
commend
to
you
the
worth
of
peace
;
we
know
that
the
excellency
of
Princes
is
expressed
by
serenity
;
what
good
hath
the
earth
which
God
doth
not
couch
vnder
the
name
of
Peace
?
Blessed
be
God
,
and
his
Anointed
,
we
haue
long
and
comfortably
tasted
the
sweetnesse
of
this
blessing
;
the
Lilies
and
Lions
of
our
Salomon
haue
beene
iustly
worded
with
Beati
pacifici
.
Would
we
haue
this
happinesse
perpetuated
to
vs
,
to
posterity
?
Oh
let
Prince
and
people
meet
in
the
ambition
to
be
Gens
iusta
,
a
righteous
nation
,
righteous
euery
way
;
First
,
let
God
haue
his
owne
;
His
owne
daies
,
his
owne
seruices
;
his
feare
,
his
loue
,
his
all
:
Let
Religion
leade
all
our
proiects
,
not
follow
them
;
let
our
liues
be
led
in
a
conscionable
obedience
to
all
the
lawes
of
our
maker
:
Far
bee
all
blasphemies
,
curses
,
and
obscenities
from
our
tongues
,
all
outrages
and
violences
from
our
hands
;
all
presumptuous
and
rebellious
thoughts
from
our
hearts
.
Let
our
hearts
,
hands
,
tongues
,
liues
,
bodies
and
soules
be
sincerely
deuoted
to
him
.
Then
,
for
men
:
let
vs
giue
Caesar
his
owne
:
Tribute
,
feare
,
subiection
,
loyalty
,
and
(
if
hee
need
)
our
liues
;
Let
the
nobility
haue
honour
,
obcisance
,
obseruation
;
Let
the
Clergy
haue
their
dues
,
and
our
reuerence
;
Let
the
commons
haue
truth
,
loue
,
fidelity
in
all
their
transactions
:
Let
there
be
trutinae
iustae
,
pondera
iusta
:
Finally
,
for
our selues
;
let
euery
man
possesse
his
vessell
in
holinesse
and
honour
;
framing
himselfe
to
all
Christian
and
heauenly
temper
,
in
all
wisdome
,
sobriety
,
chastity
,
meeknesse
,
constancy
,
moderation
,
patience
,
and
sweet
contentation
:
so
shall
the
worke
of
our
righteousnesse
bee
peace
of
heart
,
peace
of
state
;
priuate
and
publike
peace
;
Peace
with
our selues
,
peace
with
the
world
,
peace
with
God
;
temporall
peace
here
,
eternall
peace
and
glory
aboue
:
vnto
the
fruition
whereof
,
he
who
hath
ordained
vs
,
mercifully
bring
vs
for
the
sake
of
him
,
who
is

Prince
of
