ABout
fiue
hundred
yeares
after
Christ
,
when
the
Romans
vast
Dominion
began
to
decline
,
there
was
great
affliction
and
trouble
thoroughout
the
world
;
plagues
,
and
famines
,
and
warres
,
and
earth-quakes
,
and
other
euils
,
conspir'd
together
to
vexe

places
:
so
that
the
people
of

,
both
in
the
Greeke
and
Latine
Churches
,
fearing
their
turne
might
be
next

vnder

scourge
,
had
formes
of
holy

Litanies
,
the
Latine
Rogations
,
to
be
spoken
often
into
the
eares
of
the
Lord
of
heauen
and
earth
,
to
preuent
imminent
iudgements
;
so
godlily
wise
were
the
Christians
of
old
time
,
that
those
calamities
,
which
they
knew
,
being
present
,
all
people
would
bewaile
with
teares
,
being
absent
,
they
laboured
by
their
prayers
to
keep
away
.
And
if
I
take
not
my
marke
amisse
,
that
's
the
intention
of
this
meeting
:
troupes
of
afflictions
,
as
holy
Iob
cals
them
,
are
abroad
in
the
Christian
world
,
making
hauocke
of
men
and
countries
;
and
wee
,
conscious
to
our selues
,
that
our
sinnes
deserue
to
haue
them
come
,
and
to
encampe
about
our
tabernacles
,
are
met
here
together
,
to
make
prayers
to
our
God
,
to
keepe
them
away
from
vs
:
and
to
set
a
greater
edge
vpon
our
deuotion
,
and
the
more
to
testifie
our
humiliation
to
the
World
,
and
to
Angels
;
a
Fast
is
proclaimed
,
which
is
to
bee
obserued
by
vs
in
a
strict
manner
:
all
the
time
is
to
bee
spent
in
confession
of
sinnes
,
in
bitter
lamentations
,
in
deiection
and
humiliation
for
transgressions
,
in
abstinence
from
meates
and
drinkes
,
and
all
other
corporall
delights
,
that
may
cheare
the
heart
,
and
so
hinder
it
from
being
truely
sorrowfull
and
afflicted
,
in
almes
deedes
and
visiting
the
sicke
,
in
mourning
and
weeping
for
angring
God
,
and
in
crying
mightily
vnto
the
Lord
,
And
to
helpe
to
these
exercises
of
repentance
,
the
Word
of
God
must
be
preached
,
the
sinnes
of
a
Nation
must
bee
ript
vp
,
Gods
iudgements
against
sinne
must
be
denounced
,
for
nothing
doth
further
more
to
humiliation
and
compunction
,
than
a
serious
consideration
,
how
infinitely
iniquity
doth
anger
God
,
and
how
seuerely
he
hath
,
and
doth
,
and
will
punish
it
.
It
was
the
course
,
which
God
himselfe
directed
the
Prophet
Ieremiah
to
runne
,
when
Israel
and
Iudah
were
vpon
the
point
of
destruction
:
This
word
came
vnto
Ieremiah
from
the
Lord
,
saying
,
Take
thee
a
roule
of
a
booke
,
and
write
therein
all
the
words
that
I
haue
spoken
vnto
thee
against
Israel
,
and
against
Iudah
,
and
against
all
the
Nations
,
from
the
day
I
spake
vnto
thee
,
from
the
dayes
of
king
Iosiah
,
euen
vnto
this
day
:
it
may
be
,
that
the
house
of
Iudah
will
heare
all
the
euill
which
I
purpose
to
doe
vnto
them
,
that
they
may
returne
euery
man
from
his
euill
way
,
that
I
may
forgiue
their
iniquity
and
their
sinne
.
And
in
that
roule
of
the
booke
,
the
Rabbins
say
,
was
written
the
booke
of
Lamentations
:
Then
the
Lord
rained
vpon
Sodome
and
Gomorrah
,
brimstone
and
fire
,
from
the
Lord
out
of
Heauen
.

The

when
it
rained
;
Then
:
Then
the
Lord
rained
vpon
Sodome
and
Gomorrah
brimstone
and
fire
,
from
the

The

The
act
and
the

,
giue
way
to
treate
of
Gods
seuerity
,
and
of
Sodome
and
Gomorrah's
misery
.
Thus
then
wee
will
proceed
,
Gods
grace
assisting
.
First
,
speake
of
Gods
clemency
,
and
of
Sodom
and
Gomorrah's
impiety
.
Secondly
,
declare
Gods
fury
,
and
Sodom
and
Gomorrah's
calamity
.
Thirdly
,
conclude
with
an
application
of
such
vses
,
as
may
be
made
by
the
story
.
First
of
Gods
clemency
,
and
of
Sodome
and
Gomorrah's
impiety
.
There
is
not
a
greater
antipathy
betwixt
any
two
natures
in
the
world
,
than
there
is
betwixt
the
nature
of
God
and
sinne
:
You
may
sooner
reconcile
fire
and
water
,
heate
and
cold
,
light
and
darknesse
,
than
God
and
Mammon
,
Christ
and
Belial
,
the
holy
Ghost
and
Dagon
.
God
hates
sinne
wheresoeuer
he
findes
it
,
be
it
in
Heauen
or
Earth
,
in
Men
or
Angels
,
in
Elect
or
Reprobates
.
Indeed
his
Mercy
,
his
sweet
blessed
Mercy
,
to
which
mankinde
hath
beene
euer
much
bound
,
neuer
ceaseth
solliciting
him
to
treat
Adams
children
with
all
the
fauour
hee
may
,
and
like
to
an
importunate
suitor
,
neuer
giueth
ouer
crauing
of
him
,
vntill
he
make
her
a
promise
,
that
hee
will
not
execute
the
fiercenesse
of
his
anger
,
indignation
and
wrath
,
tribulation
and
anguish
,
vpon
euery
soule
of
man
that
doth
euill
,
to
the
Iew
first
,
and
also
to
the
Gentile
.
Misericordia
Deo
attribuitur
secundum
effectum
,
non
secundum
passionis
affectum
;
Mercy
is
attributed
vnto
God
according
to
the
effect
,
not
according
to
the
affect
of
the
passion
:
it
doth
neuer
transport
him
beyond
himselfe
,
neither
causeth
it
him
vtterly
to
stop
his
eares
to
his
iustice
,
when
it
pleadeth
for
indignation
.
T
is
euident
in
holy
Writ
,
that
Mercy
is
potent
with
God
,
hath
a
great
hand
with
him
;
hee
will
heare
her
mediating
for
the
most
notorious
malefactors
in
the
world
,
if
hee
can
discerne
in
them
any
hope
of
amendment
.
How
long
did
he
protract
Sodom's
ruine
,
and
what
courses
did
hee
take
to
reclaime
them
?
sent
Lot
to
preach
to
them
,
stirr'd
vp
foure
Kings
to
make
warre
vpon
them
,
gaue
them
victory
ouer
them
,
and
when
they
had
taken
the
people
,
and
were
carrying
of
them
into
captiuity
,
prest
Abraham
out
to
rescue
them
,
diuided
himselfe
against
them
,
he
and
his
seruants
by
night
,
and
smote
them
,
and
pursued
them
vnto
Hoba
,
which
is
on
the
left
hand
of
Damascus
,
and
he
brought
backe
all
the
goods
,
and
also
brought
againe
his
brother
Lot
,
and
his
goods
,
and
the
women
also
,
and
the
people
.
Yea
,
when
their
sinnes
cryed
out
for
brimstone
,
flames
&
wrath
was
gone
out
from
God
,
and
he
had
dispatched
his
ministring
spirits
to
goe
downe
,
and
see
whether
they
had
done
altogether
according
to
the
cry
of
it
which
came
vp
vnto
him
.
Hee
protected
vnto
Abraham
,
if
hee
could
finde
ten
righteous
men
there
,
he
would
not
destroy
them
for
tens
sake
.
Then
the
Lord
rained
vpon
Sodome
and
Gomorrah
brimstone
and
fire
,
from
the
Lord
out
of
Heauen
.
Their
sinnes
were
insufferable
;
not
ordinarie
,
but
great
,
very
great
transgressions
:
they
did
prouoke
the
iustice
of
God
from
the
greatest
of
them
,
to
the
littlest
of
them
,
they
did
euen
against
nature
and
common
reason
agree
to
bee
wicked
,
they
were
not
onely
sinners
,
drawne
to
iniquitie
by
the
strong
incitations
of
nature
,
but
they
were
wicked
,
industriously
wicked
,
willingly
wicked
;
like
to
the
house
of
Iacob
,
they
deuised
iniquity
vpon
their
beddes
,
and
when
the
morning
was
light
,
they
practis'd
it
:
They
were
scelerum
principes
,
&
inuentores
,
prime
offendors
,
and
inuentors
of
new
villanies
:
they
tooke
delight
in
damn'd
transgressions
,
their
greatest
glory
was
in
the
greatest
iniquity
,
and
they
were
then
most
merry
,
when
the
God
of
Abraham
was
most
angry
.
I
reade
of
a
people
in
Picenum
,
that
were
called
Nequi
nates
;
Wicked
ones

The
men
of
Sodome
were

,
wicked
and
sinners
before
the
Lord
exceedingly
.
Pride
,
a
sinne
,
that
made
of
Angels
Diuels
,
as
Prosper
saith
;
Humility
goeth
before
honour
,
and
a
haughty
spirit
before
a
fall
.
A
sinne
,
of
which
they
that
are
guilty
,
haue
God
alwayes
at
their
backes
to
take
vengeance
of
them
for
it
,
as
Seneca
hath
it
,
Sequitur
superbos
vltor
à
tergo
Deus
,
was
in
high
esteem
among
them
:
excessiue
they
were
aboue
measure
;
a
mortall
iniquity
,
Diues

A

The
higher
men
feede
,
the
more
outragious
the
bloud
boiles
,
and
the
harder
taske
it
is
to
resist
concupiscence
.
Iesurun
waxed
fat
and
kicked
;
thou
art
waxen
fat
,
thou
art
growne
thicke
,
thou
art
couered
with

;
then
hee
forsooke
God
which
made
him
,
and
lightly
esteemed
the
rocke
of
his
saluation
.
Idlenesse
likewise
,
a
sinne
capitall
by
the
lawes
of
Draco
;
A
sin
that
teacheth
much
euill
:
A
sinne
that
choaketh
vertue
,
nourisheth
pride
,
frameth
a
life
fit
onely
for
hell
fire
,
a
sinne
,
the
whole
vniuersity
of
things
cries
downe
,
abounded
among
them
:
whereas
all
other
creatures
were
perpetually
in
action
;
trees
growing
,
waters
flowing
,
birds
flying
,
oxen
plowing
,
spheares
mouing
,
the
men
of
Sodome
,
like
to
standing
ponds
,
like
to
Sodomes
Salt-pits
,
stunke
for
lacke
of
motion
.
The
poore
they
did
contemne
;
a
crying
sinne
:
Negatur
gutta
,
qui
negauit
micam
,
Masculine
beastiality
;
A
sinne
,
none
but
a
Diuell
,
come
out
of
Hell
in
the
likenesse
of
a
man
,
dares
to
commit
:
a
sinne
,
enough
to
defile
the
tongue
that
talkes
of
it
;
a
sinne
,
of
which
,
if
a
man
were
sure
neither
God
nor
man
did
know
of
it
,
yet
the
turpitude
of
it
should
bee
motiue
enough
to
make
a
reasonable
creature
disdaine
it
,
was
as
allowable
among
them
by
custome
,
as
any
other
act
,
in
other
Common-wealths
,
is
by
law
:
Nay
,
Peccabant
,
&
publicabant
;
They
did
sinne
,
and
not
for
shame
hide
it
,
They
declare
their
sinnes
as
Sodome
did
:
to
doe
euill
,
and
to
reioyce
at
it
,
t
is
a
desperate
iniquity
;
deplorata
nequitia
:
a
lamentable
wickednesse
;
I
pray
you
,
Brethren
,
doe
not
so
wickedly
,
This
one
fellow
came
in
to
soiourne
,
and
hee
will
needes
bee
a
Iudge
.
There
was
such
a
habit
of
filthinesse
,
that
vnrighteousnesse
was
reputed
for
righteousnesse
,
and
the
gainsayer
of
vncleannesse
,
was
blamed
more
than
the
actour
.
Their
Magistrates
,
that
had
regall
power
,
neuer
interposed
their
authoritie
,
to
bridle
them
in
their
beastly
desires
:
And
(
my
beloued
)
that
is
a
daring
sinne
,
when
the
Magistrates
,
that
should
bee
to
the
people
like
gods
to
imitate
,
shall
be
euery
iot
as
wicked
as
the
multitudes
:
Inferiores
sunt
superiorum
simiae
,
As
the
Iudge
of
a
people
is
himselfe
,
so
are
his
officers
,
and
what
manner
of
man
the
Ruler
of
a
City
is
,
such
are
they
that
dwell
therein
.
Now
that
the
Rulers
of
Sodome
should
be
such
,
as
did
not
only
conniue
,
winke
at
wickednesse
,
but
euen
tolerate
,
nay
approue
,
yea
partake
with
the
people
in
their
abominations
;
it
was
ominous
,
it
did
portend
some
dreadfull
iudgement
comming
vpon
the
whole
Nation
.
when
the
vices
of
inferiours
are
dissembled
and
winked
at
by
gouernours
,
they
are
reserued
for
the
iudgement
of
God
.
I
had
as
liue
see
a
blazing
starre
burning
in
the
Heauens
,
as
a
wicked
man
in
a
place
of
power
:
an
earth-quake
is
not
so
prodigious
as
a
wicked
Ruler
.
Before
God
broke
downe
the
wals
of
Babylon
,
and
burnt
the
high
gates
with
fire
,
to
make
drunke
her
Princes
,
and
her
Wisemen
,
and
her
Captaines
,
and
her
Rulers
,
and
her
mighty
men
:
An
inundation
of
vngodlinesse
must
needes
ouerflow
a
Land
,
when
those
that
haue
the
ouersight
,
doe
superintend
,
and
should
bound
wickednesse
,
are
themselues
boundlesly
wicked
.
Religion
must
of
necessity
go
downe
the
wind
,
as
it
did
in
Sodome
,
when
those
that
should
vphold
it
,
doe
most
prophane
it
;
one
of
the
first
in
authority
,
and
one
of
the
last
in
Christianity
.
Ethelbertus
King
of
Kent
in
the
Heptarchy
was
wont
to
say
,
t
was
a
signe
of
a
very
euill
man
,
singulus
quisque
homo
,
&c.
Euery
particular
man
is
a
part
of
the
City
and
Kingdome
wherein
he
was
borne
,
Here
were
sins
enow
to
set
patience
in
a
rage
,
and
to
transforme
the
God
of
mercy
into
wrath
,
and
yet
God
respited
their
subuersion
so
long
,
vntill
their
sins
came
bellowing
vp
into
Heauen
,
and
were
ready
to
lay
an
imputation
of
partiality
vpon
his
iustice
.
Three
hundred
and
forty
yeares
,
Chronologie
saith
,
passed
betwixt
the
drowning
of
the
world
with
water
,
and
the

it

hee
was
very
angry

Hee

likewise

the

draweth
an
argument
from
thence

he

hee

Mercifull

Longanimity
is
as
Gods
naturall
childe
;
the
holy
Deity
is
in
trauell
with
it
:
euen
as
any
thing
great
with
young
doth
desire
to
bee
rid
of
the
burthen
,
so
doth
God
desire
to
poure
forth
his

:

when
her
breasts
were

to

Iustice
commeth

Mercy
floweth
from

as

Mercy
is
as
essentiall
to
him
,
as
light
is
to

or
as
heate

delights

in

eye
in

Patience

,

are
the

are
forced

God
doth
all
along
the
Scripture
euen
court

turne
from

courses
;
the
omnipotent
Creatour
doth
euen

to

not
that
t
is

if
all
the

should
worship
him
with
a
holy
worship
:
Can
a

be
profitable
to
God
,
as
he
that
is

is
profitable
to

Is
it
any

to

,
that
thou
art

that

let
this

answer
to
the
(
When
)
in
the
Verse
next

it
,
When

was
entered
into

,
Then
the
Lord
rained
vpon
Sodome

Gomorrah
brimstone
and
fire
,
from
the
Lord
out

Heauen
.
And
from
thence
you
may
make
an
obseruation
,
how
deare
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
a
righteous
man
is
:
Sodome
could
not
bee
burnt
before
Lot
was
departed
;
Haste
thee
,
escape
to
Zoar
:
for
I
cannot
doe
any
thing
till
thou
be

thither
,
Haste
thee
,
escape
thither
:
for
I
cannot
doe
any
thing
till
thou
come

.
A
speech
,
the
more
I
meditate
vpon
it
,
the
more
I
am
amazed
at
it
.
St.
Augustine
saith
,
a
certain
Platonist
,
as
Simplitianus
told
him
,
said
those
words
of
St.
Iohns
Gospell
:
In
the
beginning
was
the
word
,
and
the
word
was
with
God
,
and
the
word
was
God
,
the
same
was
in
the
beginning
with
God
,
were
fit
to
be
written
in
letters
of
gold
,
Haste
thee
,
escape
thither
:
for
I
can
do
nothing
til
thou
be
come
thither
,
deserueth
to
be
inscribed
vpon
euery
mans
heart
,
that
God
should
so
tender
the
welfare
of
his
seruant
,
as
to
professe
plainly
,
hee
could
not
vindicate
himselfe
vpon
his
foes
,
vntill
hee
had
taken
order
for
his
safety
:
I
am
rapt
to
reade
it
,
&
pray
you
all
to
take
speciall
notice
of
it
;
When
Lot
was
entered
into
Zoar
,
Then
,
and
not
before
then
,
the
Lord
rained
vpon
Sodome
and
vpon
Gomorrah
,
brimstone
and
fire
,
from
the
Lord
out
of
Heauen
.
And
to
say
continually
as
the
Psalmist
doth
,
Blessed
is
the
Lord
,
which
hath
alwaies
pleasure
in
the
prosperity
of
his
seruant
.
Wicked
men
may
likewise
make
to
themselues
aduantage
by
this
obseruation
,
and
learne
to
respect
the
righteous
,
because
they
fare
the
better
for
it
.
Mundus
est
magna
homilli
domus
;
The
world
is
the
great
house
of
little
man
,
and
faithfull
men
are
the
buttresses
and
pillars
,
to
vphold
it
from
ruine
and
confusion
:
they
stand
in
the
gappe
betwixt
the
world
and
Gods
wrath
,
as
Moses
his
chosen
did
in
the
breach
betwixt
the
Israelites
and
Gods
anger
,
when
they
had
vext
him
at
the
waters
of
strife
,
to
turne
away
his
indignation
from
them
,
could
but
a
man
bee
found
in
it
that
executed
righteousnesse
.
My
father
,
my
father
,
the
chariot
of
Israel
,
and
the
horsemen
thereof
:
As
if
he
should
haue
said
,
Eliah
that
good
man
,
that
was
the
onely
chariot
and
horsemen
to
defend
Israel
,
he
had
such
power
with
God
,
because
of
his
holy
life
to
hinder
him
from
plaguing
of
it
,
is
taken
from
it
.
If
God
goe
out
against
a
place
to
ouerthrow
it
,
one
iust
man
is
a
better
fort
to
defend
it
,
than
a
rocke
of
marble
,
or
a
rampier
of
flint
:
A
good
man
hath
a
great
deale
of
interest
in
God
;
God
will
come
to
a
parley
with
him
,
and
yeeld
to
him
in
any
tolerable
request
:
that
speech
which
God
vsed
to
Moses
on
the
Mount
,
is
proofe
sufficient
to
informe
wicked
men
,
how
gracious
a
good
man
is
with
the
great
God
.
Israel
had
trespassed
greatly
,
turned
the
glory
of
the
inuisible
God
,
into
the
similitude
of
an
Oxe
that
eateth
grasse
,
and
by
that
Idolatry
angred
Iehouah
so
farre
,
that
hee
hath
a
thought
to
confound
them
;
and
yet
before
hee
will
proceed
to
execution
,
knowing
Moses
loue
to
them
was
such
,
he
would
be
making
intercession
,
and
knowing
his
owne
nature
to
bee
such
,
that
if
Moses
mediated
,
hee
could
not
choose
but
remit
,
the
omnipotent
God
doth
petition
fraile
man
not
to
interpose
;
Now
therefore
let
mee
alone
,
that
my
wrath
may
waxe
hote
against
them
,
and
that
I
may
consume
them
.
And
when
Moses
would
not
bee
perswaded
from
making
supplication
,
but
fals
vpon
God
for
Abrahams
sake
to
take
compassion
,
God
offereth
Moses
composition
to
let
him
alone
:
Let
mee
alone
,
that
my
wrath
may
waxe
hote
against
them
,
and
that
I
may
consume
them
,
and
I
will
make
of
thee
a
great
people
:
When
nothing
would
beat
Moses
off
from
being
instant
and
earnest
with
God
for
their
pardon
,
the
Text
saith
,
The
Lord
repented

his
record
is
true
.
Secondly
,
of
Gods
fury
,
and
of
Sodome
and
Gomorrahs
misery
.
God
is
no
way
so
long
suffering
in
bearing
,
that
he
is
not
as
iust
in
punishing
;
If
a
man
will
not
turne
,
he
will
whet
his
sword
.
God
spun
out
the
thread
of
his
loue
to
an
immeasurable
length
,
to
try
whether
the
men
of
Sodome
would
lay
hold
of
it
;
hee
did
angle
for
them
,
sate
in
heauen
,
let
downe
the
line
of
his
loue
,
and
baited
it
with
his
mercy
,
to
proue
whether
the
men
of
Sodome
would
swallow
it
,
that
hee
might
catch
their
soules
.
T
was
long
before
he
was
prouoked
,
he
did
smother
indignation
many
yeares
,
before
it
kindled
and
came
to
bee
deuouring
flame
;
and
when
all
would
not
preuaile
,
Then
the
Lord
rained
vpon
Sodome
and
Gomorrah
brimstone
and
fire
,
from
the
Lord
out
of
Heauen
.
Here
,
my
Beloued
,
I
will
giue
you
another
obseruation
:
As
God
is
infinite
in
suffering
,
vrged
,
thoroughly
vrged
,
before
he
will
breake
out
into
fury
,
so
hee
is
violent
and
fierce
in
the
execution
of
his
iudgement
,
when
hee
is
resolued
vpon
it
:
The
longer
the
archer
drawes
before
hee
looses
,
the
sorer
shot
hee
maketh
;
the
longer
God
is
before
he
poureth
forth
his
vengeance
,
the
more
t
will
scorch
.
I
need
not
search
other
Chronicles
for
examples
to
verifie
this
collection
,
Sodome
and
Gomorrah
ratifie
the
truth
of
it
.
Strabo
saith
,
nature
wrought
this
act
,
The
Lord
rained
vpon
Sodome
and
Gomorrah
brimstone
and
fire
,
from

Vulsinium
in
Italy
,
was
destroyed
with
fire
from
heauen
.
Histories
say
,
that
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
717.
when
the
Arabians
and
Saracens
lay
at
the
siege
of
Constantinople
,
Exodus
9.
24.
It
rained
haile
,
and
fire
mingled
with
the
haile
,
very
grieuous
,
such
as
there
was
none
like
it
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt
,
since
it
became
a
Nation
.
Here
it
rained
brimstone
,
and
fire
mingled
with
the
brimstone
,
very
grieuous
,
such
as
there
was
none
in
all
the
world
,
since
it
was
a
world
.
From
whence
came
it
?
from
the
Lord
out
of
heauen
.
Indeed
the
Philosophers
say
there
is
an
element
of
fire
aboue
;
fire
from
Heauen
,
the
fire
of
God
.
So
likewise
fire
came
downe
from
heauen
at
Eliah's
call
,
and
burnt
the
two
Captaines
and
their
fifties
.
hee
did
water
into
wine
.
Whatsoeuer
fire
it
was
,
simple
or
compound
,
and
wheresoeuer
he
had
the
brimstone
,
it
matters
not
much
to
dispute
,
sure
I
am
it
was
the
Lords
doing
,
raine
it
he
did
,
and
though
it
be
maruellous
in
our
eyes
,
because
supernaturall
,
the
Heauens
not
vsing
to
poure
downe
brimstone
drops
,
yet
to
him
it
was
no
more
difficult
to
say
to
the
brimstone
,
Burne
thou
Sodome
,
say
to
the
snow
,
Be
thou
vpon
the
earth
.
Alas
,
what
became
of
the
inhabitants
?
What
became
of
them
?
naught
became
of
them
;
they
were
all
euery
mothers
childe
fried
in
brimstone
flames
:
a
terrible
iudgement
;
take
it
into
your
consideration
,
and
wonder
at
it
.
The
same
morning
the
sunne
did
arise
in
his
wonted
manner
,
deckt
all
the
plaine
of
Iordan
with
his
glorious
raies
,
and
before
it
was
climb'd
vp
to
the
meridian
,
tota

;
Sodome
is
all
in
a
flame
,
Infamem

,
fire
had
power
in
the
water
,
forgetting
his
owne
vertue
,
and
the
water
forgot
her
owne
quenching
nature
.
In
one
streete
the
hote
tiles
spring
from
off
the
flaming
roofes
,
braining
those
that
passed
vnder
;
in
another
lane
the
scalding
lead
drops
downe
out
of
the
gutters
,
and
lights
vpon
the
hairy
scalph
of
such
as
had
gone
on
in
their
wickednesse
:
Here
is
a
hideous
noise
heard
with
the
downefals
of
houses
,
there
is
a
piteous
cry
to
be
heard
,
made
by
people
sorely
tormented
in
that
flame
.
The
heauens
thunder
fearfully
,
the
lightning
flasheth
dismally
,
the
brimstone
burnes
inquenchably
,
the
people
shreek
vniuersally
,
the
cattell
bellow
miserably
,
God
is
angry
terribly
,
because
they
had
sinn'd
abominably
.
The
flakes
of
fire
,
For
all
this
Gods
anger
is
not
turned
away
,
but
his
hand
is
stretched
out
still
.
As
Christ
cursed
the
fig-tree
,
and
said
,
The
waters
couered
their
enemies
,
there
was
not
one
of
them
left
.
A
fearfull
destruction
,
For
all
this
Gods
anger
is
not
turned
away
,
but
his
hand
is
stretched
out
still
.
God
hath
cursed
the
very
climate
,
made
it
inhabitable
,
hath
so
altered
the
condition
of
the
ground
,
that
forreiners
if
they
would
aduenture
to
plant
colonies
there
,
cannot
by
any
industry
manure
it
so
that
it
shall
beare
fruit
.
It
hath
Babylons
curse
;
It
shall
be
no
more
inhabited
for
euer
,
neyther
shall
it
bee
dwelt
in
from
generation
to
generation
;
no
man
shall
abide
there
,
neyther
shall
any
son
of
man
dwell
therein
:
Once
it
was
the
choisest
seat
vnder
the
sunne
,
the
very
Paradise
of
the
world
,
holding
resemblance
with
the
garden
of
the
Lord
;
corne
,
it
should
bring
forth
thornes
and
thistles
:
I
cannot
reade
that
eyther
thorne
or
thistle
will
grow
on
Sodomes
soile
;
t
is
onely
a
breeding
place
of
nettles
and
salt-pits
.
God
said
,
Yet
Sion
is
become
a
plowed
field
.
Troy
,
mare
mortuum
,
the
dead
sea
;
because
Nequit

It
cannot
bring
forth
out
of
the
deepe
gulfe
any
of
the
scaly
people
.
Diuers
Authors
giue
this
sea
diuers
names
;
some
call
it
mare
maledictum
,
the
cursed
sea
:
some
mare
solitudinis
,
the
desert
sea
:
some
mare
Diaboli
,
the

sea
.
Philo
the
Iew
saith
it
smokes
still
;
and
therefore
some
say
t
is
caminus
gehennae
,
the
very
chimney
of
hell
.
Yet
here
is
not
all
:
For
all
this
Gods
anger
is
not
turnd
away
form
them
,
but
his
hand
is
stretched
out
still
.
All
this
is
but
the
beginning
of
their
sorrowes
,
there
is
a
worser
doome
behinde
for
these
sensuall
men
:
What
s
that
?
fire
and
brimstone
againe
.
What
brimstone
?
that
streame
of
brimstone
the
Prophet
speaketh
of
,
euerlasting
fire
,
is
prepared
for
the
diuell
and
his
angels
.
What
,
fire
and
brimstone
here
,
and
fire
and
brimstone
hereafter
,
fire
and
brimstone
in
infinitum
,
doth
it
stand
with
diuine
Iustice
?
I
confesse
,
calamities
poured
downe
vpon
good
people
,
are
the
earnest
of
an
euerlasting
inheritance
;
good
people
,
sow
in
teares
,
shall
reape
in
ioy
;
but
the
iudgements
which
the
wrath
of
God
raines
downe
in
this
life
vpon
the
wicked
,
such
as
the
Sodomites
were
,
are
but
the
preambles
to
future
woes
;
but
entrances
into
,
not
exemptions
from
ensuing
miseries
:
Great
plagues
remaine
for
the
vngodly
.
T
is
said
,
that
the
heauie
night
which
was
spread
ouer
the
Egyptians
,
was
but
an
image
of
that
darknesse
which
should
afterward
receiue
them
:
And
I
may
say
,
that
affliction
should
not
rise
vp
the
second
time
:
There
should
be
no
need
of
a
new
plague
,
he
would
pay
them
home
at
once
.
From
whence
Pelagius
concludes
,
God
will
not
punish
sinners
twice
.
Ah
Pelagius
,
if
they
be
such
sinners
as
the
Apostle
St.
Paul
speaketh
of
,
that
doe
not
like
to
retaine
God
in
their
knowledge
,
suffer
the
vengeance
of
eternall
fire
:
and
the
reason
is
,
God
will
not
alwaies
chide
,
neyther
will
he
keepe
his
anger
for
euer
.
Let
no
man
reason
,
Man
sin'd
but
a
time
,
and
God
will
punish
him
but
for
a
time
;
rather
let
him
know
,
hee
that
sins
against
an
infinite
Maiesty
,
must
expect
to
endure
infinite
misery
,
if
it
be
not
preuented
by
infinite
mercy
:
Hee
that
neglects
ineffable
goodnesse
,
must
looke
to
bee
exposed
to
ineffable
fadnesse
.
Man
by
sinne
destroyed
that
good
,
which
if
he
had
kept
,
would
haue
made
him
eternally
blessed
;
and
loued
that
euill
,
which
not
repented
of
,
will
make
him
eternally
cursed
,
if
it
be
imputed
to
him
,
and
not
satisfied
for
by
the
bloud
of
Christ
.
God
doth
not
measure
sinne
temporis
longitudine
,
by
the
quantity
of
time
in
which
it
is
committed
,
nor
proportion
the
punishment
after
that
rate
;
then
a
beastly
Sodomite
should
haue
but
a
few
minuts
torment
:
he
doth
iudge
of
sinne
as
Augustine
saith
,
Then
are
the
Sodomites
vtterly
vnhappy
;
first
,
to
be
turned
to
destruction
;
and
then
to
bee
turned
into
hell
:
Who
can
help
it
?
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
is
not
to
be
sleighted
,
is
not
to
be
neglected
.
My
heart
danceth
for
ioy
to
muse
vpon
the
depth
of
his
mercie
,
yet
had
wee
best
to
be
aduised
that
wee
abuse
it
not
by
presumption
;
hee
is
not
a
God
of
wood
,
nor
of
stone
,
insensible
of
dishonour
,
or
carelesse
of
par●ipension
;
if
hee
be
long
prouoked
,
hee
will
at
last
awake
like
a
gyant
out
of
sleepe
,
and
teare
those
in
his
wrath
,
that
feare
not
the
Lord
and
his
strength
:
A
wretched
people
they
were
,
the
Sodomites
were
,
to
liue
so
as
to
deserue
to
haue
their
country
and
their
kinred
ruined
so
irreparably
;
yet
more
wretched
,
to
liue
so
as
to
deserue
to
haue
their
bodies
and
soules
damned
eternally
.
T
is
lamentable
to
thinke
of
their
iudgement
past
,
t
is
more
lamentable
to
thinke
of
their
iudgement
to
come
:
though
their
bodies
are
consumed
vnto
dust
,
as
small
as
that
which
the
whirlewinde
scatters
,
yet
God
will
collect
together
all
parts
of
euery
one
of
them
(
for
t
is
as
easie
to
him
to
raise
a
dead
man
out
of
his
graue
,
as
t
is
for
one
of
vs
to
raise
a
liuing
man
out
of
his
bedde
)
and
when
hee
hath
so
done
,
he
will
touch
their
flesh
with
such
a
touch
of
immortality
,
that
they
shall
fry
in
flames
,
bee
sensible
of
the
paine
,
and
yet
not
bee
consumed
with
the
fire
,
as
they
were
when
they
were
Citizens
of
Sodome
,
before
that
their
mortall
had
put
on
immortality
;
and
as
the
moth
is
to
the
garment
,
and
the
worme
is
to
the
wood
,
so
sorrow
shall
eate
their
hearts
:
poena
sensus
,
&
poena
d●mni
,
the
consideration
of
that
which
they
shall
suffer
,
intermixt
with
the
consideration
of
what
they
are
bereft
of
,
will
crucifie
their
soules
with
vnspeakable
woe
.
But
,
saith
one
to
mee
,
omit
the
eternall
iudgement
,
and
presse
the
temporall
:
for
carnall
men
will
quake
more
to
heare
of
the
losse
of
their
bodies
and
estates
,
than
of
their
soules
.
I
can
make
no
farther
illustration
of
it
than
this
:
There
were
sundry
goodly
Cities
,
of
which
Sodome
was
the
Metropolis
,
fairely
situated
in
a
champian
in
the
plaine
of
Iordan
,
plentifully
peopled
with
men
,
women
,
and
children
,
delicately
prouided
for
,
of
corne
,
and
wine
,
and
oyle
,
and
all
other
necessaries
that
might
any
way
conduce
to
earthly
content
,
as
it
might
be
this
morning
,
and
on
the
same
day
before
noone
,
the
soile
was
cursed
with
barrennesse
,
the
beasts
suffered
for
their
masters
transgressions
,
the
people
perished
euery
one
,
that
there
might
bee
an
end
of
the
race
of
Sodomites
;
The
Lord
from
the
Lord
,
God
the
Son
from
God
the
Father
being
the
agent
of
this
astonishing
act
,
fire
and
brimstone
being
his
instruments
,
crying
sinnes
the
incitements
,
and
the
reason
Saint
Peter
giueth
,
God
turned
the
Cities
of
Sodome
and
Gomorrah
into
ashes
,
condemned
them
with
an
ouerthrow
,
making
them
an
ensample
vnto
those
which
after
should
liue
vngodly
:
and
that
Scripture
brings
mee
to
my
Application
.
I
neede
not
search
into
the
manners
of
other
Nations
,
nor
lay
my
seene
abroad
to
make
application
of
my
discourse
,
it
holds
at
home
in
many
things
,
and
in
some
things
better
than
I
would
it
did
;
we
can
vie
blessings
with
Sodome
,
heauenly
and
earthly
blessings
with
Gomorrah
,
the
blessing
of
peace
,
the
blessing
of
plenty
,
the
blessing
of
Gods
Word
that
inestimable
blessing
,
and
wee
may
tell
sinnes
with
them
too
,
and
I
feare
ouertell
them
:
If
I
had
a
Catalogue
of
the
number
of
Sodomes
sinnes
,
and
a
relation
of
their
will
and
greedinesse
to
commit
them
,
and
were
tasked
to
compare
ours
with
theirs
,
I
beleeue
for
quantity
and
manner
,
wee
are
neare
euen
with
them
:
Indeed
,
Peccatum
nefandum
,
that
sin
not
fit
to
be
named
,
the
high
hand
of
God
hath
kept
out
of
our
Countrey
,
and
euer
may
it
remaine
a
stranger
,
otherwise
I
cannot
set
my
thoughts
to
worke
,
to
muse
of
any
sinne
that
I
doe
not
finde
acted
in
abominable
manner
:
Adultery
is
in
the
height
,
hardly
more
ordinary
in
any
land
;
doe
not
men
lay
wait
at
their
neighbours
doores
?
that
walke
inordinately
,
working
not
at
all
:
Of
men
many
,
Edebant
&
bibebant
,
Emebant
&
vendebant
,
did
buy
and
sell
,
Ecce
peccatum
cupiditatis
,
Behold
the
sin
of
couetousnesse
:
And
had
couetousnesse
a
habitation
in
Sodome
?
and
was
filthy
auarice
a
cause
of
her
desolation
?
then
Lord
bee
mercifull
vnto
our
Land
,
that
hath
many
a
member
in
it
,
who
out
of
a
couetous
desire
,
haue
made
a
marriage
with
siluer
,
and
giuen
a
bill
of
diuorce
to
Iesus
Christ
!
The
Clergie
in
the
Church
,
as
in
Prospers
generation
,
No
man
that
warreth
entangleth
himselfe
with
the
affaires
of
this
life
,
that
he
may
please
him
who
hath

The
Gentry
in
the
countrey
,
as
in
Augustines
dayes
,
Riches
profit
not
in
the
day
of
wrath
,
but
righteousnesse
deliuereth
from
death
.
The
Gallants
in
the
Court
,
as
in
Iugurtha
King
of
Numidia's
daies
,
are
so
prodigall
,
that
they
will
not
keep
goods
themselues
,
and
so
couetous
,
that
they
will
not
suffer
others
to
keepe
theirs
;
making
no
vse
of
the
Apostles
precept
,
Owe
no
man
any
thing
,
but
to
loue
one
another
.
The
Aduocates
and
Pleaders
at
the
barre
,
as
in
Pope
Eugenius
his
dayes
,
greedy
of
filthy
lucre
,
If
any
sue
him
at
the
law
and
take
away
his
coate
,
let
him
haue
his
cloake
also
,
than
contend
for
his
coate
againe
;
neuer
remembring
that
speech
of
our
Sauiour
to
the
Publicans
,
Exact
no
more
than
that
which
is
appointed
you
.
Aedificabant
,
&

,
They
planted
,
a
tower
in
the
valley
of
Sauch
to
keepe
his

in

,
calling
it
Absolons

Nay
,
we
are
not
cleare
of
that
sinne
of
Sodom
,
which
cryed
to
Heauen
for
brimstone
,
with
that
which
cried
lowdest
,
of
reioycing
in
doing
euill
.
A
sin
not
greater
than
can
bee
forgiuen
;
for
what
sinne
can
bee
so
deadly
,
that
the
death
of
Christ
will
not
salue
?
but
I
dare
say
t
is
a
sinne
that
must
haue
an
infinite
measure
of
mercy
,
and
an
abundant
measure
of
teares
to
wash
it
away
;
and
yet
t
is
among
vs
an
vsuall
sinne
,
and
very
vsuall
sinne
:
Marke
it
when
you
please
,
when
two
humours
meet
that
loue
sinne
alike
,
you
shall
heare
the
one
vaunting
to
the
other
of
his
wickednesse
,
and
then
laugh
himselfe
at
his
owne
beastlinesse
,
cheere
vp
his
heart
at
the
repetition
of
his
owne
vngodlinesse
.
O
Lord
,
looke
downe
from
heauen
,
behold
and
visite
the
world
,
and
restraine
the
sons
of
men
from
this
most
grieuous
iniquity
.
Ephraim
and
Manasses
are
in
our
land
,
fulnesse
of
bread
and
forgetfulnesse
of
God
.
Gog
and
Magog
are
in
our

City
,
pride
and
plenty
.
Bloud
maketh
a
clamour
at
the
gates
of

for

,
oppression

him
to
poure

the
vials
of
his
wrath
,
blasphemy
and

challenge
him
for
his
long

;
Vsury
,
a
sinne
that
maketh
a

worse

a

,
worse

,
worse

,
worse

worse

because

the

worse

because

,
the

punisheth
both

lastly
,
worse
than
Iudas
;
for
Iudas
restored
the
money
againe
which
hee
had
vniustly
taken
,
but
the
Vsurer
seldome
makes
restitution
,
is

The

are
growne
monstrous

there
is
discord
in
societies
,
fraud
in
merchants
,
corruption
in
officers
,
conniuency
in

,
symonie
in

;
euery

brings

a
theefe
,
euery
day
a
deceiuer
,
euery
minute
a
drunkard
,
and
euery
weeke
a
murtherer
:
we
are
fallen
into
such
times
the
Prophet
speakes
of
,
Our
hands
are
defiled
with
bloud
,
and
our
fingers
with
iniquity
,
our
lips
doe
speake
lies
,
and
our

matter
peruersnesse
.
There
was
neuer
that
vice
reign'd
,
but
now
t
is
rife
,
yea
I
thinke
I
may
say
it
,
and
not
belye
the
world
;
there
bee
many
new
vices
reigne
now
,
which
Sodome
and
Gomorrah
neuer
heard
of
:
there
be
new
deuices
to
cousin
with
,
new
fashions
to
be
proud
with
,
new
oaths
to
blaspheme
with
,
new
merits
to
iustifie
by
,
new
Articles
of
Faith
to
beleeue
,
new
Sacraments
to
receiue
,
new
gods
found
out
to
worship
,
and
new
Mediatours
to
intercede
:
Fall
to
your
prayers
,
and
beg
feruently
of
God
to
send
that
new
heauen
and
new
earth
,
of
which
St.
Peter
speaketh
,
wherein
dwelleth
righteousnesse
:
for
this
whole
world
lyeth
in
wickednesse
,
Nulla

Omnes

,
all
the
people
from
euery
quarter
,
not
ten
righteous
persons
could
be
found
among
many
thousand
soules
.
I
cannot
say
so
of
this
Nation
:
for
I
doe
resolue
my selfe
,
I
may
confidently
speake
as
the
Lord
did
to
Saint
Paul
in
a
vision
by
night
concerning
Corinth
:
God
hath
much
people
in
this
City
,
more
in
this
Land
,
and
daily
may
he
adde
to
the
number
of
them
:
And
as
he
did
to
Ezechiel
the
Prophet
in
a
vision
concerning
Ierusalem
,
There
are
some
that
sigh
and
cry
for
all
the
abominations
that
be
done
in
the
midst
of
vs
,
and
daily
may
he
adde
to
the
number
of
those
likewise
:
But
withall
,
when
I
make
an
estimate
of
the
multitude
of
people
that
are
contained
within
our
borders
,
and
obserue
so
many
marching
furiously
after
their
own
lusts
,
for
so
few
following
of
Iesus
Christ
,
I
am
affraid
of
some
vengeance
approching
,
because
I
doe
not
know
what
the
will
of
the
Lord
is
,
whether
he
will
spare
the
place
for
their
sakes
.
I
doe
lay
as
much
vpon
Gods
mercy
as
I
may
without
wronging
his
iustice
,
hee
will
not
be
moued
to
poure
forth
his
vengeance
,
vnlesse
sinners
superabound
in
vices
,
neuerthelesse
when
and
where
you
find
all
iniquity
planted
,
all
rebellion
against
God
reigning
,
all
the
crying
sinnes
rousting
,
you
may
take
liberty
to
proclaime
what
you
feare
,
saluation
stept
aside
,
and
destruction
wing'd
ready
to
seize
vpon
that
people
for
a
prey

From

I
wish

were
made
so
powerfull

as
to
wooe
all
that

that
so
we
might
neuer

but
the

kindleth
in

and
if

t
is
Gods

because

We

God

Ethiopia

To
conclude
all
,
the
way
to
keep
vs
from
these
fearfull
punishments
,
are
fasting
,
prayer
,
godly
sorrow
for
sins
past
,
and
the
amendment
of
our
sinfull
liues
in
the
time
to
come
:
Not
a
day
for
a
man
to
afflict
his
soule
,
to
bow
downe
his
head
as
a
bulrush
,
to
spread
sackcloth
and
ashes
vnder
him
,
it
is
not
such
a
fast
that
the
Lord
hath
chosen
:
Goe
,
and
the
Lord
bee
with
thee
;
and
thinke
then
they
haue
repented
compleatly
.
O
Lord
God
,
that
a
man
should
dare
to
sinne
so
damnably
,
and
dreame
to
quit
himselfe
of
the
guilt
of
it
so
eastly
!
t
is
not
bare
Lord
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
will
doe
it
,
there
belongs
more
to
repentance
than
so
;
the
faculties
of
our
soules
must
bee
griped
with
griefe
,
and
wearied
with
groaning
,
and
tired
with
supplications
:
we
must
double
our
words
as
Daniel
doth
,
and
say
,
O
Lord
heare
,
O
Lord
forgiue
,
O
Lord
hearken
,
and
deferre
not
for
thine
owne
sake
,
O
our
God
.
We
must
renue
our
complaints
with
Dauid
,
euening
,
and
morning
,
and
at
noone
day
,
we
must
pray
,
and
make
a
noise
,
and
God
will
hear
our
voice
.
We
must
weep
and
wipe
our
eyes
,
and
weep
againe
and
wipe
our
eyes
againe
,
if
we
haue
loued
many
sinnes
,
before
many
sins
can
be
forgiuen
vs
.
We
must
draw
a
conclusion
in
our
owne
bosomes
,
that
no
Nation
hath
bin
more
bound
to
God
than
we
,
no
Nation
hath
sinned
against
God
with
a
higher
hand
than
wee
;
and
therfore
no
Nation
hath
greater
cause
to
fast
and
weepe
,
mourne
and
lament
for
their
sins
,
than
we
.
We
must
giue
way
to
the
thoughts
of
our
hearts
,
to
reflect
vpon
the
distressed
condition
of
the
Church
of
Christ
abroad
,
and
note
how
that
the
bed
doth
not
priuiledge
the
sick
man
,
nor
the
cradle
the
suckling
babe
,
nor
the
great
belly
the
woman
,
nor
the
altar
the
Priest
,
nor
the
seate
of
iustice
the
Magistrate
,
from
the
fury
of
the
mercilesse
souldier
:
They
fight
and
are
kil'd
,
they
yeeld
and
are
murthered
,
they
flye
and
are
pursued
,
they
remaine
and
are
beleaguered
,
they
hide
themselues
and
are
hunger-starued
,
their
corne
fields
are
deuoured
by
troupes
of
horses
,
their
streams
of
water
are
coloured
red
with
the
bloud
of
men
and
beasts
,
and
in
some
places
their
earth
is
voide
,
as
if
it
were
returning
into
the
Chaos
againe
;
as
t
is
,
Zech.

there
is
no
hyre
for
man
nor
beast
,
neither
is
there
any
peace
to
him
that
goeth
out
,
nor
to
him
that
commeth
in
,
because
of
affliction
;
for
all
men
are
set
,
euery
man
against
his
neighbour
.
And
yet
wee
,
a
sinfull
Nation
,
a
people
laden
with
as
much
iniquity
as
any
Nation
in
the
Christian
world
,
are
at
rest
;
no
trumpet
is
heard
in
our
streetes
,
no
solitude
ante
ostia
,
no
desolation
is
before
our
gates
,
our
plow-shares
are
not
beaten
into
swords
,
nor
our
mattockes
into
speares
:
the
seate
of
iustice
is
not
interrupted
,
the
Word
of
God
hath
a
free
passage
,
we
lay
vs
down
to
sleep
,
and
take
our
rest
,
God
making
vs
to
dwell
in
safety
;
and
vpon
the
comparison
of
these
things
,
wee
must
bethinke
our selues
,
what
vngratefull
wretches
we
haue
bin
to
dishonour
our
God
with
our
sinnes
,
that
hath
and
doth
follow
vs
with
so
much
louing
kindnesse
aboue
other
people
that
are
more
righteous
than
we
;
we
must
earnestly
repent
,
and
be
heartily
sorry
for
our
misdoings
past
,
and
we
must
sweare
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
vow
a
vow
vnto
the
Almighty
God
of
Iacob
,
to
renounce
our
euill
waies
,
and
to
serue
him
in
spirit
and
truth
,
in
sincerity
and
with
good
conscience
in
the
time
to
come
;
and
then
our
God
will
not
forsake
vs
,
nor
giue
vs
vp
for
a
reproach
,
that
strangers
should
rule
ouer
vs
,
but
blesse
vs
all
our
lines
long
in
bodies
and
soules
,
and
entaile
the
blessings
more
firmly
,
than
by
any
law
you
can
deuise
,
to
descend
vpon
our
posterity
successiuely
,
so
long
as
the
Sunne
and
Moone
shall
endure
:
And
to
that
purpose
,
let
vs
pray
vnto
him
,
and
say
,
O
most
gracious
God
,
let
not
our
manifold
sins
make
a
separation
betwixt
thee
and
vs
,
let
them
not
prouoke
thee
to
remoue
thy
spirituall
and
corporall
blessings
from
vs
;
Giue
vs
,
O
Lord
giue
vs
,
broken
hearts
,
contrite
spirits
,
and
bleeding
soules
,
to
offer
vp
in
sacrifice
vnto
thee
,
that
thou
mayest
be
reconciled
,
and
at
an
attonement
with
vs
:
Our
sins
are
great
,
Lord
,
we
confesse
it
,
but
thy
mercy
is
greater
,
Lord
,
we
beleeue
it
;
mercy
therefore
,
deare
Father
,
haue
mercy
vpon
our
King
,
vpon
our
Queene
,
vpon
our
Nobility
,
vpon
our
Clergie
,
vpon
our
Magistracy
,
vpon
our
Commonaltie
,
vpon
our
whole
Land
,
for
thy
Sions
sake
,
for
thy
Gospels
sake
,
for
thy
beloued
sonne
Iesus
Christs
sake
.
Giue
,
O
Lord
,
giue
thy
Angels
charge
ouer
vs
,
let
them
pitch
their
tents
about
vs
,
that
no
pestilence
come
among
vs
to
deuoure
vs
,
no
famine
befall
vs
to
starue
vs
,
no
sword
of
an
enemy
inuade
vs
to
destroy
vs
,
and
then
,
O
Lord
our
God
,
if
thou
wilt
giue
vs
grace
,
we
will
blesse
thee
,
we
will
praise
thee
,
we
will
magnifie
thee
,
wee
will
sing
songs
of
thanksgiuing
vnto
thee

will
ascribe
all
honour
