¶
Of
the
punishments
which
our
Lord
threateneth
unto
such
as
live
a
sinfull
life
.
ONe
of
the
principall
meanes
that
our
Lord
hath
used
oftentimes
to
bridle
the
harts
of
men
,
and
to
draw
them
unto
the
obedience
of
his
commaundements
,
hath
beene
,
to
set
before
their
eyes
the
horrible
plagues
and
punishments
that
are
prepared
for
such
persons
as
be
rebels
and
transgressors
of
his
law
.
For
althogh
the
hope
of
the
rewards
that
are
promised
unto
the
good
in
the
life
to
come
,
may
moove
us
very
much
hereunto
:
yet
are
we
commonly
more
mooved
with
things
that
bee
irkesome
unto
us
,
than
with
such
as
bee
pleasant
:
even
as
wee
see
by
dayly
experience
,
that
wee
are
vexed
more
with
an
injurie
done
unto
us
,
than
delighted
with
any
honour
,
and
wee
are
more
troubled
with
sickenesse
,
than
comforted
with
health
:
and
so
by
the
discommoditie
of
sickenesse
,
we
come
to
understand
the
commoditie
of
health
,
as
by
a
thing
so
much
the
better
perceived
,
by
how
much
more
it
is
sensibly
felt
.
Now
for
this
cause
did
our
Lord
in
times
past
use
this
mean
more
than
any
other
,
as
it
appeareth
most
clearly
by
the
writings
of
the
Prophets
,
which
are
every
where
full
of
dreadfull
sayings
and
threatenings
,
wherewith
our
Lord
pretendeth
to
put
a
terrour
into
the
hearts
of
men
,
and
so
to
bridle
&
subdue
them
under
the
obedience
of
his
law
.
And
for
this
end
hee
commaunded
the
prophet
Ieremie
,
That
hee
should
take
a
white
booke
,
and
write
in
the
same
all
the
threatnings
and
calamities
which
he
had
revealed
unto
him
,
even
from
the
first
day
he
began
to
talke
with
him
,
untill
that
present
houre
,
and
that
he
should
read
the
same
in
the
presence
of
all
the
people
,
to
see
if
peradventure
they
would
be
moved
therwith
unto
repentance
,
and
to
chaunge
their
former
life
,
to
the
end
,
that
hee
might
also
chaunge
the
determination
of
his
wrath
,
which
hee
had
purposed
to
execute
upon
them
.
And
the
holy
Scripture
sayth
,
That
when
the
Prophet
had
done
according
as
he
was
commaunded
by
almighty
God
,
and
had
read
al
those
threatenings
in
the
presence
of
the
people
,
and
of
the
rulers
;
there
arose
such
a
feare
and
terror
amongst
them
,
that
they
were
all
astonished
,
and
as
it
were
bestraughted
of
their
wits
,
looking
one
in
anothers
face
,
for
the
exceeding
great
fear
which
they
had
conceived
of
those
words
.
This
was
one
of
the
principall
meanes
which
almightie
God
used
with
men
in
the
time
of
the
law
written
,
and
so
hee
did
also
in
the
time
of
the
lawe
of
grace
:
in
which
,
the
holy
Apostle
sayth
,
That
as
there
is
revealed
a
justice
,
whereby
God
maketh
men
just
,
so
is
there
also
revealed
an
indignation
and
wrath
,
whereby
hee
punisheth
the
unjust
:
for
which
cause
,
S.
Iohn
Baptist
(
the
glorious
forerunner
of
our
Saviour
Christ
)
was
sent
,
with
this
commission
and
embassage
to
preach
unto
the
world
,
That
the
axe
was
now
put
to
the
roote
of
the
tree
,
and
that
everie
tree
that
brought
not
foorth
good
fruite
,
should
bee
cut
downe
and
cast
into
the
fire
.
Hee
said
moreover
,
That
there
was
another
come
into
the
world
,
more
mightie
than
hee
,
that
carried
in
his
hand
a
fanne
,
to
winnow
and
cleanse
therewith
his
flower
,
and
that
hee
would
put
up
the
corne
into
his
garner
,
but
the
chaffe
hee
will
burne
in
a
fire
that
should
never
bee
quenched
.
This
was
the
preaching
and
embassage
which
the
holy
fore-runner
of
our
Savior
Iesus
Christ
brought
into
the
world
.
And
so
great
was
the
thunder
of
these
wordes
,
and
the
terrour
which
entered
into
mens
hearts
,
so
dreadfull
,
that
there
ran
unto
him
of
all
estates
and
conditions
of
men
,
even
of
the
very
Pharisees
and
Publicanes
,
yea
,
and
souldiours
also
(
which
of
all
others
are
woont
to
bee
most
dis
solute
,
and
to
have
least
care
of
their
consciences
▪
)
and
each
of
them
demanded
for
himselfe
particularly
of
that
holy
man
,
what
hee
should
doe
to
attaine
unto
salvation
,
and
to
escape
those
terrible
threatenings
which
hee
had
denounced
unto
them
,
so
great
was
the
feare
they
had
conceived
of
them
.
And
this
is
that
(
deare
Christian
brother
)
which
I
doe
at
this
present
(
in
the
behalfe
of
almightie
God
)
deliver
unto
thee
,
althogh
not
with
such
fervencie
of
spirit
and
like
holinesse
of
life
,
yet
that
which
importeth
more
in
this
case
,
with
the
same
truth
and
certainetie
;
for
so
much
as
the
faith
and
Gospell
which
S.
Iohn
Baptist
then
preached
,
is
even
the
same
now
taught
.
Now
,
if
thou
bee
desirous
to
understand
in
few
words
,
how
great
the
punishment
is
,
that
almightie
God
hath
threatened
in
his
holy
Scriptures
to
the
wicked
,
that
which
may
most
breefely
and
most
to
the
purpose
bee
spoken
in
this
matter
,
is
this
:
That
like
as
the
reward
of
the
good
is
an
universall
good
thing
,
even
so
the
punishment
of
the
wicked
is
an
universall
evill
,
which
comprehendeth
in
it
all
the
evils
that
are
.
For
the
better
understanding
whereof
,
it
is
to
bee
noted
,
That
all
the
evils
of
this
life
are
particular
evils
,
and
therefore
doe
not
torment
all
our
sences
generally
,
but
only
one
,
or
some
of
them
.
As
taking
an
example
of
the
diseases
of
our
bodie
,
wee
see
,
that
one
hath
a
disease
in
his
eyes
,
another
in
his
eares
:
one
is
sicke
in
the
heatr
,
another
in
the
stomacke
,
some
other
in
his
head
.
And
so
diverse
men
are
diseased
in
diverse
parts
of
the
bodie
;
howbeit
,
in
such
wise
,
that
none
of
all
these
diseases
be
generally
throghout
all
the
members
of
the
bodie
,
but
perticular
to
some
one
of
them
.
And
yet
for
all
this
,
wee
see
what
greefe
onely
one
of
these
diseases
may
put
us
unto
,
and
how
painefull
a
night
the
sicke
man
hath
in
any
one
of
these
infirmities
,
yea
,
although
it
bee
nothing
else
but
a
little
ach
in
one
tooth
.
Now
let
us
put
the
case
,
that
there
were
some
one
man
sicke
of
such
an
universall
disease
,
that
hee
had
no
part
of
his
bodie
,
neither
any
one
joint
or
sence
free
from
his
proper
pain
,
but
that
at
one
time
and
instant
hee
suffered
most
exceeding
sharpe
torment
in
his
head
,
in
his
eyes
,
and
eares
,
in
his
teeth
,
and
stomacke
,
in
his
liver
and
heart
:
and
to
bee
short
,
in
all
the
rest
of
his
members
and
joints
of
his
bodie
,
and
that
hee
lay
after
this
sort
stretching
himselfe
in
his
bed
,
beeing
pained
with
these
greefes
and
torments
,
everie
member
of
his
bodie
having
his
particular
torment
and
greefe
:
Hee
(
I
say
)
that
should
lie
thus
pained
and
afflicted
,
how
great
torment
and
greefe
of
mind
and
bodie
(
thinke
yee
)
should
hee
sustaine
?
Oh
,
what
thing
could
any
man
imagine
more
miserable
,
and
more
woorthie
of
compassion
?
Surely
,
if
thou
shouldest
see
but
a
dogge
to
be
so
tormented
and
greeved
in
the
street
,
his
verie
paines
would
move
thy
heart
to
take
pittie
upon
him
.
Now
this
is
that
(
my
deare
Christian
brother
,
if
any
comparison
may
bee
made
betweene
them
)
which
is
suffered
in
that
most
cursed
and
horrible
place
of
hell
,
and
not
onely
during
for
the
space
of
one
night
,
but
everlastingly
,
for
ever
and
ever
.
For
like
as
the
wicked
men
have
offended
Almightie
God
with
all
their
members
and
sences
,
and
have
made
armour
of
them
all
to
serve
sinne
,
even
so
will
hee
ordaine
,
that
they
shall
bee
there
tormented
everie
one
of
them
with
his
proper
torment
.
There
shall
the
wanton
unchast
eyes
bee
tormented
with
the
terrible
sight
of
devils
:
the
eares
with
the
confusion
of
such
horrible
cries
and
lamentations
which
shall
there
bee
heard
:
the
nose
with
the
intollerable
stinke
of
that
ougly
,
filthie
,
and
loathsome
place
:
the
tast
,
with
a
most
ravenous
hunger
and
thirst
:
the
touching
,
and
all
the
members
of
the
bodie
with
extreame
burning
fire
.
The
imagination
shall
bee
tormented
by
the
conceiving
of
greefes
present
:
the
memorie
,
by
calling
to
mind
the
pleasures
past
:
the
understanding
,
by
considering
what
benefites
are
lost
,
and
what
endlesse
miseries
are
to
come
.
This
multitude
of
punishments
the
holy
scripture
signifieth
unto
us
,
when
it
sayth
,
Math.
15.
Psalm.
10.
That
in
hell
there
shall
bee
hunger
,
thirst
,
weeping
,
wail●ng
,
gnashing
of
teeth
,
swords
double
edged
,
spirits
created
for
revengement
,
serpents
,
worms
,
scorpions
,
hammers
,
wormewood
,
water
of
gall
,
the
spirit
of
tempest
,
and
other
things
of
like
sort
.
Whereby
are
signified
unto
us
(
as
in
a
figure
)
the
multitude
and
dreadfull
terrour
of
the
most
horrible
torments
and
paines
that
be
in
that
cursed
place
.
There
shall
bee
likewise
darkenesse
inward
and
outward
,
both
of
bodie
and
soule
,
farre
more
obscure
than
the
darkenesse
of
Aegypt
,
which
was
to
bee
felt
even
with
hands
,
Exo.
20.
There
shall
bee
fire
also
,
not
as
this
fire
here
,
that
tormenteth
a
little
,
and
shortly
endeth
,
but
such
a
fire
as
that
place
requireth
,
which
tormenteth
exceedingly
,
and
shall
never
make
an
end
of
that
tormenting
.
This
beeing
true
,
what
greater
wonder
can
there
bee
,
than
that
they
which
beleeve
and
confesse
this
for
truth
,
should
live
with
such
most
straunge
negligence
and
carelesnesse
as
they
doe
?
What
travell
and
paines
would
not
a
man
willingly
take
to
escape
even
one
onely
day
,
yea
,
one
houre
,
the
very
least
of
these
torments
?
and
wherefore
doe
they
not
then
,
to
escape
the
everlastingnesse
of
so
great
paines
and
horrible
torments
,
endure
so
little
a
travell
,
as
to
follow
the
exercise
of
vertue
.
Surely
,
the
consideration
of
this
matter
were
able
to
make
any
sinfull
soule
to
feare
and
tremble
,
in
case
it
were
deepely
regarded
.
And
if
amongst
so
great
number
of
paines
,
there
were
any
manner
hope
of
end
or
release
,
it
would
be
some
kind
of
comfort
:
but
alas
it
is
not
so
,
for
there
the
gates
are
fast
shut
up
from
all
expectation
of
any
maner
of
ease
or
hope
.
In
all
kind
of
paines
and
calamities
that
bee
in
this
world
,
there
is
alwais
some
gap
lying
open
,
whereby
the
patient
may
receive
some
kind
of
comfort
:
sometimes
reason
,
sometimes
the
weather
,
sometimes
his
friends
,
sometimes
the
hearing
that
others
are
troubled
with
the
very
same
disease
,
&
sometimes
(
at
the
least
)
the
hope
of
an
end
may
cheare
him
somewhat
:
onely
in
these
most
horrible
pains
&
miseries
that
be
in
hell
,
all
the
wayes
are
shut
up
in
such
sort
,
and
all
the
havens
of
comfort
so
embarred
,
that
the
miserable
sinner
cannot
hope
for
remedie
on
any
side
,
neither
of
heaven
,
nor
of
earth
,
neither
of
the
time
past
,
or
present
,
or
of
the
time
to
come
,
or
of
any
other
means
.
The
damned
soules
thinke
,
that
all
men
are
shooting
darts
at
them
,
and
that
all
creatures
have
conspired
against
them
,
&
that
even
they
themselves
are
cruell
against
themselves
.
This
is
that
distresse
whereof
the
sinners
doe
lament
by
the
Prophet
,
saying
:
The
sorrowes
of
hell
have
compassed
mee
round
about
,
and
the
snares
of
death
hath
besieged
me
:
For
on
which
side
soever
they
looke
or
turne
their
eyes
,
they
doe
continually
behold
occasions
of
sorrow
and
greefe
,
and
none
at
all
of
any
ease
or
comfort
.
The
wise
virgins
(
sayth
the
Evangelist
)
that
stood
readie
prepared
at
the
gate
of
the
bridegroom
,
entred
in
,
&
the
gate
was
foorthwith
locked
fast
.
O
locking
everlasting
,
ô
enclosure
immortall
,
ô
gate
of
all
goodnes
,
which
shall
never
any
more
bee
opened
againe
.
As
if
hee
had
said
more
plainely
,
the
gate
of
pardon
,
of
mercie
,
of
comfort
,
of
grace
,
of
intercession
,
of
hope
,
and
of
all
other
goodnesse
,
is
shut
up
for
ever
and
ever
.
Six
dayes
and
no
more
was
Manna
to
bee
gathered
,
but
the
seventh
day
,
which
was
the
Sabboth
day
,
was
there
none
to
bee
found
:
and
therefore
shall
hee
fast
forever
,
that
hath
not
in
due
time
made
his
provision
aforehand
.
The
sluggard
(
sayth
the
wise
man
)
will
not
till
his
ground
for
feare
of
cold
,
and
therefore
shall
hee
beg
his
bread
in
summer
,
and
no
man
shall
give
him
to
eat
.
And
in
another
place
hee
sayth
:
He
that
gathereth
in
summer
,
is
a
wise
sonne
,
but
hee
that
giveth
himselfe
to
sleeping
at
that
season
,
is
the
sonne
of
confusion
.
For
what
confusion
can
there
be
greater
than
that
which
that
miserable
covetous
rich
man
suffereth
,
who
with
a
fewe
crums
of
bread
that
fell
from
his
table
,
might
have
purchased
to
himselfe
abundance
of
everlasting
felicitie
,
and
glorie
in
the
kingdome
of
heaven
?
But
because
he
would
not
give
so
small
a
thing
,
he
came
to
such
an
extreame
necessitie
that
hee
begged
(
yea
,
and
shall
for
ever
beg
in
vaine
)
onely
one
drop
of
water
,
and
shall
never
obtaine
it
.
Who
is
not
mooved
with
that
request
of
that
unfortunate
damned
person
,
who
cried
,
O
father
Abraham
have
compassion
on
me
,
and
send
down
Lazarus
vnto
mee
,
that
hee
may
dip
the
tip
of
his
finger
in
water
,
and
touch
my
tongue
,
for
th●se
horrible
flames
doe
torment
mee
exceedingly
.
What
smaller
request
could
there
bee
desired
than
this
?
Hee
durst
not
request
so
much
as
one
cup
of
water
,
neither
,
that
Lazarus
should
put
his
whole
hand
into
the
water
,
nor
yet
(
which
is
more
to
bee
wondered
at
)
did
he
request
so
much
as
the
whole
finger
,
but
onely
the
tip
of
it
,
that
it
might
but
touch
his
tongue
;
and
yet
even
this
alonely
would
not
be
granted
unto
him
.
Whereby
thou
maiest
perceive
,
how
fast
the
gate
of
all
consolation
is
shut
up
,
and
how
universall
that
interdict
and
excommunication
is
,
that
is
there
laid
upon
the
damned
,
sith
this
rich
glutton
could
not
obtaine
so
much
as
this
small
request
.
So
that
wheresoever
the
damned
persons
doe
turne
their
eyes
,
and
on
which
side
soever
they
stretch
their
hands
,
they
shall
not
find
any
manner
of
comfort
,
bee
it
never
so
small
.
And
as
hee
that
is
in
the
sea
choaked
,
and
almost
drowned
under
the
water
,
not
finding
any
stay
wherupon
to
set
his
foot
,
stretcheth
foorth
his
hands
oftentimes
on
every
side
in
vaine
(
because
all
that
hee
graspeth
after
,
is
thinne
and
liquid
water
,
which
deceives
him
)
even
so
shall
it
fare
with
the
damned
persons
,
when
they
shall
bee
drowned
in
that
deepe
sea
of
so
many
miseries
,
where
they
shall
strive
and
strug
▪
gle
alwayes
with
death
,
without
finding
any
succour
or
place
of
stay
,
whereupon
they
may
rest
themselves
.
Now
this
is
one
of
the
greatest
paines
wherewith
they
be
tormented
in
that
cursed
place
:
for
if
these
torments
shold
have
their
continuance
limitted
but
for
a
certaine
time
,
though
it
were
for
a
thousand
,
yea
,
a
hundred
thousand
millions
of
years
,
yet
even
this
would
bee
some
little
comfort
unto
them
,
for
nothing
is
perfectly
great
,
in
case
it
have
an
end
:
But
alas
,
they
have
not
so
much
as
this
poore
and
miserable
comfort
:
but
contrariwise
,
their
paines
are
equall
in
continuance
with
the
eternity
of
almightie
God
,
and
the
lasting
of
their
miserie
with
the
eternitie
of
Gods
glorie
.
As
long
as
almightie
God
shall
live
,
so
long
shall
they
die
:
and
when
Almightie
God
shall
cease
to
be
God
,
then
shall
they
also
cease
to
be
as
they
are
.
O
deadly
life
,
ô
immortall
death
!
I
know
not
whether
I
may
truly
tearme
thee
,
either
life
or
death
:
for
if
thou
be
life
,
why
dost
thou
kill
?
And
if
thou
be
death
,
why
doest
thou
endure
?
Wherefore
I
will
call
thee
neither
the
one
,
nor
the
other
,
for
so
much
as
in
both
of
them
there
is
contained
something
that
is
good
:
as
in
life
there
is
rest
,
and
in
death
there
is
an
end
(
which
is
a
great
comfort
to
the
afflicted
)
but
thou
hast
neither
rest
not
end
.
What
art
thou
then
?
Marry
,
thou
art
the
worst
of
life
,
and
the
worst
of
death
;
fo●
of
death
thou
hast
the
torment
,
without
any
end
,
and
of
life
thou
hast
t●e
continuance
without
any
rest
O
bitter
composition
,
ô
unsavorie
purgation
of
our
Lords
cup
!
of
the
which
,
all
the
sinners
of
the
earth
shall
drinke
their
part
.
Now
in
this
continuance
in
this
eternitie
,
I
would
wish
that
thou
(
my
deare
Christian
brother
)
wouldst
fixe
the
eyes
of
thy
consideration
a
little
while
:
and
that
as
the
clean
beast
cheweth
the
cud
,
even
so
thou
wouldest
weigh
this
point
within
thy selfe
with
great
deliberation
.
And
to
▪
the
intent
thou
maiest
do
it
the
better
,
consider
a
little
the
paines
that
a
sicke
man
abideth
in
one
evill
night
,
especially
if
he
be
vexed
with
any
vehement
greefe
,
or
sharpe
disease
.
Marke
how
oft
hee
tumbleth
&
tosseth
in
his
bed
,
what
disquietnes
he
hath
,
how
long
and
tedious
one
night
seemeth
unto
him
,
how
duly
hee
counteth
all
the
houres
of
the
clocke
,
and
how
long
he
deemeth
each
houre
of
them
to
bee
,
how
hee
passeth
the
time
in
wishing
for
the
dawning
of
the
day
;
which
notwithstanding
,
is
like
to
helpe
him
,
little
towards
the
curing
of
his
disease
.
If
this
then
bee
accounted
so
great
a
torment
,
what
torment
shall
that
bee
(
trowyee
)
in
that
everlasting
night
in
hell
,
which
hath
no
morning
,
nor
so
much
as
any
hope
of
any
dawning
of
the
day
?
O
darknesse
most
obscure
!
ô
night
everlasting
!
ô
night
accursed
even
by
the
mouth
of
almightie
God
&
all
his
Saints
!
That
one
shall
wish
for
light
,
and
shall
never
see
it
,
neither
shall
the
brightnesse
of
the
morning
arise
any
more
.
Consider
then
what
a
kind
of
torment
shall
that
bee
,
to
live
everlastingly
in
such
a
night
as
this
is
,
lying
not
in
a
soft
bed
(
as
the
sicke
man
dooth
)
but
in
a
hote
burning
furnace
,
foming
out
such
terrible
raging
flames
.
What
shoulders
shall
be
able
to
abide
those
horrible
heats
.
If
it
seeme
to
us
as
a
thing
intollerable
to
have
onely
some
part
of
our
feet
standing
upon
a
panne
of
burning
coales
,
for
the
space
of
repeating
the
Lords
prayer
,
What
shall
it
bee
(
thinke
you
)
to
stand
bodie
and
soule
burning
in
the
midst
of
those
everlasting
hot
raging
fires
in
hell
,
in
comparison
of
which
,
the
fires
of
this
world
are
but
painted
fires
.
Is
there
any
wit
or
judgement
in
this
world
?
Have
men
their
right
sences
?
do
they
understand
what
these
words
import
?
or
are
they
peradventure
persuaded
,
that
these
are
onely
the
fables
of
Poets
?
or
doe
they
thinke
,
that
this
appertaineth
not
to
them
,
orels
that
it
was
onely
meant
for
others
?
None
of
all
this
can
they
say
,
for
so
much
as
our
faith
assureth
us
most
certainely
herein
.
And
our
Saviour
Christ
himselfe
,
who
is
everlasting
trueth
,
crieth
out
in
his
Gospell
,
saying
,
Heaven
and
earth
shall
faile
,
but
my
word
shall
not
faile
.
Of
this
miserie
there
followeth
another
as
great
as
it
,
which
is
,
that
the
paines
are
alwaies
continuing
in
one
like
degree
,
without
any
manner
of
intermission
,
or
decreasing
.
All
manner
of
things
that
are
under
the
cope
of
heaven
,
doe
moove
and
turne
round
about
with
the
same
heaven
,
and
do
never
stand
still
at
one
state
or
beeing
,
but
are
continually
either
ascending
or
descending
.
The
sea
and
the
rivers
have
their
ebbing
and
flowing
,
the
times
,
the
ages
,
and
the
mutable
fortune
of
men
,
and
of
kingdomes
,
are
evermore
in
continuall
motion
.
There
is
no
feaver
so
fervent
,
that
dooth
not
decline
,
neither
greefe
so
sharpe
,
but
that
after
it
is
much
augmented
,
it
dooth
forthwith
decrease
.
To
be
short
,
all
the
tribulations
and
miseries
are
by
little
and
little
worne
away
with
time
,
and
as
the
common
saying
is
,
Nothing
is
sooner
dried
up
than
teares
.
Onely
that
paine
in
hell
is
alwaies
greene
,
onely
that
feaver
never
decreaseth
,
only
that
extremitie
of
heat
knoweth
not
what
is
either
evening
or
morning
.
In
the
time
of
Noahs
flood
,
Almightie
God
rained
forty
daies
and
fortie
nights
,
continually
without
ceasing
upon
the
earth
,
and
this
sufficed
to
drowne
the
whole
world
.
But
in
that
place
of
torment
in
hell
,
there
shall
raine
everlasting
vengeance
,
&
darts
of
furie
upon
that
cursed
land
,
without
ever
ceasing
so
much
as
one
onely
minute
or
moment
.
Now
what
torment
can
be
greater
,
and
more
to
be
abho●●●d
,
than
continually
to
suffer
after
one
like
manner
,
without
any
kind
of
alteration
or
chaunge
?
Though
a
meat
bee
never
so
delicate
,
yet
in
case
wee
feed
continually
therupon
,
it
will
in
very
short
time
be
very
loathsome
unto
us
:
for
no
meat
can
be
more
precious
and
delicat
than
that
Manna
was
,
which
almightie
God
sent
downe
unto
the
children
of
Israel
in
the
desart
,
&
yet
because
they
did
eat
continually
therof
,
it
made
them
to
loath
it
,
yea
,
and
provoked
them
to
vomite
it
up
again
.
The
way
that
is
all
plaine
(
they
say
)
wearieth
more
than
any
other
▪
because
alwais
the
varietie
(
yea
even
in
punishment
)
is
a
kind
of
comfort
.
Tell
me
then
,
if
things
that
bee
pleasant
and
savorie
,
when
they
be
alwaies
after
one
manner
,
are
an
occasion
of
loathsomenesse
and
paine
:
what
kind
of
loathsomnesse
will
that
be
which
shall
bee
caused
by
those
most
horrible
paines
and
torments
in
hell
,
which
do
continue
everlastingly
after
one
like
sort
?
What
will
the
damned
and
cursed
creatures
think
,
when
they
shall
there
see
themselves
so
utterly
abhorred
&
forsaken
of
almightie
God
,
that
hee
will
not
so
much
as
with
the
remission
of
any
one
sin
,
mitigate
somwhat
their
torments
.
And
so
great
shall
the
furie
and
rage
bee
which
they
shall
there
conceive
against
him
,
that
they
shall
never
cease
continually
to
curse
and
blaspheam
his
holy
name
.
Vnto
all
these
pains
,
there
is
also
added
the
pain
of
that
everlasting
consumer
,
to
wit
,
the
worme
of
conscience
,
wherof
the
holy
Scripture
maketh
so
oftentimes
mention
,
saying
,
Their
worme
shal
never
die
,
and
their
fire
shall
never
bee
quenched
.
This
worme
is
a
furious
raging
despight
and
bitter
repentance
,
without
anie
fruit
,
which
the
wicked
shall
alwais
have
in
hell
,
by
calling
to
their
remembrance
the
oportunitie
and
time
they
had
whiles
they
were
in
this
world
,
to
escape
those
most
greevous
and
horrible
torments
,
and
how
they
wold
not
vse
the
benefit
thereof
.
And
therefore
when
the
miserable
sinner
seeth
himselfe
thus
to
be
tormented
and
vexed
on
every
side
,
and
doth
call
to
mind
how
many
daies
and
yeares
hee
hath
spent
idly
in
vanities
,
pastimes
,
and
pleasures
;
and
how
oftentimes
he
was
advertised
of
this
perill
,
and
how
little
regard
he
tooke
thereof
:
What
shall
hee
thinke
?
What
anguish
and
sorrow
shall
there
be
in
his
heart
?
Hast
thou
not
read
in
the
Gospell
,
that
there
shall
be
weeping
&
wailing
,
and
gnashing
of
teeth
?
The
famine
of
Aegypt
endured
onely
seven
yeares
,
but
that
in
hell
shall
endure
everlastingly
.
In
Aegypt
they
found
a
remedie
,
though
with
great
difficultie
and
charge
,
but
for
this
,
there
shall
never
any
remedie
be
found
.
Theirs
was
redeemed
with
monie
&
cattell
,
but
this
can
never
bee
redeemed
with
any
manner
of
exchange
.
This
punishment
cannot
be
pardoned
,
this
paine
cannot
bee
exchaunged
,
this
sentence
cannot
bee
revoked
.
Oh
,
if
thou
knewest
and
wouldest
consider
,
how
everie
one
condemned
to
hell
,
shall
there
remain
tormenting
and
renting
himselfe
,
weeping
,
and
wailing
,
and
saying
:
O
miserable
and
unfortunate
wretch
that
I
am
,
what
times
and
oportunities
have
I
suffered
to
passe
in
vaine
?
A
time
there
was
,
when
with
one
cup
of
cold
water
I
might
have
purchased
to
my selfe
a
crowne
of
glorie
,
and
when
also
with
such
necessarie
workes
of
mercie
in
releeving
the
poore
,
I
might
have
gained
life
everlasting
.
Wherefore
did
I
not
looke
before
me
?
How
was
I
blinded
with
things
present
?
How
did
I
let
pa●●●
the
fruitfull
yeares
of
aboundance
,
and
did
not
enrich
my selfe
?
If
I
had
beene
brought
up
amongst
Infidels
and
Pagans
,
&
had
beleeved
that
there
had
been
nothing
els
but
onely
to
be
borne
,
and
to
die
,
then
might
I
have
had
some
kind
of
excuse
,
and
might
have
said
,
I
knew
not
what
was
commanded
or
prohibited
me
:
but
for
so
much
as
I
have
lived
amongst
Christians
,
&
was
my selfe
one
of
them
professed
,
and
held
it
for
an
article
of
my
beleefe
,
that
the
hour
should
come
when
I
should
give
up
an
account
after
what
order
I
had
spent
my
life
:
forsomuch
also
as
it
was
daily
cried
out
unto
mee
by
the
continuall
preaching
and
teaching
of
Gods
embassadours
(
whose
advertisements
manie
following
,
made
preparation
in
time
,
and
laboured
earnestly
for
the
provision
of
good
workes
:
)
forsomuch
I
say
as
I
made
light
of
all
these
examples
,
and
persuaded
my selfe
very
fondly
,
that
heaven
was
prepared
for
me
,
though
I
took
no
pains
for
it
at
all
:
what
deserve
I
that
have
thus
led
my
life
?
O
ye
infernall
furies
,
come
and
rent
me
in
peeces
,
and
devour
these
my
bowels
,
for
so
have
I
justly
deserved
,
I
have
deserved
eternall
famishment
,
seeing
I
would
not
provide
for
my selfe
while
I
had
time
.
I
deserve
not
to
reape
,
because
I
have
not
sowne
;
I
am
worthie
to
be
destitute
,
because
I
have
not
laid
up
in
store
;
I
deserve
that
my
request
should
now
be
denied
mee
,
sith
when
the
poore
made
request
unto
mee
,
I
refused
to
releeve
them
:
I
have
deserved
to
sigh
and
lament
so
long
as
God
shall
bee
God
;
I
have
deserved
,
that
this
worme
of
conscience
shall
gnaw
mine
entrails
for
ever
and
ever
,
by
representing
unto
me
the
little
pleasure
that
I
have
enjoied
,
and
the
great
felicitie
which
I
have
lost
,
&
how
far
greater
that
was
which
I
might
have
gained
,
by
forgoing
that
little
which
I
would
not
forgoe
.
This
is
that
immortall
worme
that
shall
never
die
,
but
shall
lie
there
everlastingly
gnawing
at
the
entrailes
of
the
wicked
,
which
is
one
of
the
most
terrible
pains
that
can
possibly
be
imagined
.
Peradventure
thou
art
nowe
persuaded
(
good
Reader
)
that
there
can
bee
added
no
more
unto
this
,
than
hath
beene
said
.
But
surely
the
mightie
arme
of
God
wanteth
not
force
to
chastice
his
enemies
more
and
more
:
for
all
these
paines
that
are
hetherto
rehearsed
,
are
such
as
doe
appertaine
generally
to
all
the
damned
:
but
besides
these
generall
paines
,
there
are
also
other
particular
paines
,
which
each
one
of
the
damned
shall
there
suffer
in
diverse
sort
,
according
to
the
qualitie
of
his
sinne
.
And
so
according
to
this
proportion
,
the
hautie
and
proud
shall
there
bee
abased
and
brought
low
to
their
great
confusion
.
The
covetous
shall
bee
driven
to
great
necessitie
:
the
glutton
shall
rage
with
continuall
hunger
and
thirst
.
The
letcherous
shall
burne
in
the
very
same
flames
which
they
themselves
have
enkindled
.
And
those
that
have
all
their
life
time
hunted
after
their
pleasures
&
pastimes
,
shall
live
therein
continuall
lamentation
and
sorrow
.
But
because
examples
are
of
very
great
force
to
moove
our
hearts
,
I
will
bring
only
one
for
this
purpose
,
whereby
somewhat
of
this
matter
may
the
better
bee
perceived
.
It
is
written
of
a
certaine
holy
man
,
that
he
saw
the
paines
(
in
spirit
)
of
a
licentious
&
worldly
man
in
this
sort
.
First
hee
saw
how
the
devils
that
were
present
at
the
houre
of
his
death
,
when
he
yeelded
up
his
ghost
,
snatched
away
his
soule
with
great
rejoycing
,
and
made
a
present
thereof
to
the
prince
of
darkenesse
,
who
was
then
sitting
in
a
chair
of
fire
,
expecting
the
comming
of
this
present
.
Immediatly
after
that
it
was
presented
before
him
,
hee
arose
up
out
of
his
seat
,
and
said
unto
the
damned
soule
that
hee
would
give
him
the
preheminence
of
that
honourable
seat
,
because
hee
had
been
a
man
of
honour
,
and
was
alwaies
very
much
affected
to
the
same
.
Inconti
nently
after
that
hee
was
placed
therein
,
crying
and
lamenting
in
that
honourable
torment
,
there
appeared
before
him
two
other
most
ougly
devils
,
and
offered
him
a
cup
full
of
most
bitter
and
stinking
liquour
,
and
made
him
to
drinke
and
carouse
it
up
all
,
perforce
;
saying
,
It
is
meet
,
sithence
thou
hast
beene
a
lover
of
precious
wines
&
bankets
,
that
thou
shouldest
likewise
prove
of
this
our
wine
,
whereof
all
we
doe
use
to
drink
in
these
parts
.
Immediately
after
this
there
came
other
two
,
with
two
fierie
trumpets
,
and
setting
them
at
his
eares
,
began
to
blow
into
them
flames
of
fire
,
saying
,
This
melodie
have
wee
reserved
for
thee
,
understanding
that
in
the
world
thou
wast
very
much
delighted
with
minstrelcie
and
wanton
songs
:
and
suddainely
hee
espied
other
divels
,
loaden
with
vipers
and
serpents
,
the
which
they
threw
upon
the
breast
and
bellie
of
that
miserable
sinner
,
saying
unto
him
,
that
forsomuch
as
he
had
been
greatly
delighted
with
the
wanton
embracings
&
letcherous
lusts
of
women
,
hee
should
now
sollace
himselfe
with
these
refreshings
,
in
stead
of
those
licentious
delights
and
pleasures
,
which
hee
had
enjoyed
in
the
world
.
After
this
sort
(
as
the
Prophet
Esay
sayth
in
the
47
chapter
)
when
the
sinner
is
punished
,
there
is
given
measure
for
measure
,
to
the
end
,
that
in
such
a
great
varietie
and
proportion
of
punishments
,
the
order
&
wisdome
of
Gods
justice
,
might
the
more
manifestly
appeare
.
This
vision
hath
almightie
God
shewed
in
spirit
to
this
holy
man
for
advertisement
and
instruction
,
not
that
in
hell
these
things
are
altogether
so
materially
done
,
but
that
by
them
wee
might
understand
in
some
manner
the
varietie
and
multitude
of
the
pains
which
be
there
appointed
for
the
damned
.
Whereof
,
I
know
not
how
some
of
the
Pagans
have
had
a
certaine
knowledge
:
for
a
Poet
speaking
of
this
multitude
of
paines
,
affirmed
,
That
although
hee
had
a
hundred
mouthes
and
as
many
tongues
,
with
a
voice
as
strong
as
yron
,
yet
were
they
not
able
only
to
expresse
the
names
of
them
.
A
Poet
hee
was
that
spake
this
,
but
truly
therin
he
spake
more
like
a
Prophet
or
an
Evangelist
than
a
Poet.
Now
then
,
if
all
this
evill
shall
most
assuredly
come
to
passe
,
what
man
is
hee
,
that
seeing
all
this
so
certainely
with
the
eyes
of
his
faith
,
will
not
turne
over
the
leafe
,
and
begin
to
provide
for
himselfe
against
that
time
?
Where
is
the
judgement
of
men
nowe
become
?
Where
be
their
wits
?
yea
,
Where
is
at
the
least
their
selfe-love
,
which
seeketh
evermore
for
his
own
profite
,
and
is
much
afraid
of
any
losse
?
May
it
be
thoght
that
men
are
become
beasts
,
that
provide
onely
for
the
time
present
?
Or
have
they
peradventure
so
dimmed
their
eye
sight
,
that
they
cannot
looke
before
them
?
Hearken
(
sayth
Esay
)
Oyee
deafe
and
yee
blind
,
open
your
eyes
that
you
may
see
,
Who
is
blind
but
my
servant
?
And
who
is
deafe
but
ye
,
unto
whom
I
have
sent
my
messengers
?
And
who
is
blind
,
but
hee
that
suffereth
himselfe
to
bee
sold
for
a
slave
?
Thou
that
seest
so
many
things
,
wilt
thou
not
suffer
thy selfe
to
see
this
?
Thou
that
hast
thine
eares
open
,
wilt
thou
not
give
eare
hereunto
?
If
thou
beleeve
not
this
,
how
art
thou
then
a
Christian
?
If
thou
beleeve
it
,
and
doest
not
provide
for
it
,
how
canst
thou
bee
thought
a
reasonable
man
?
Aristotle
sayth
,
That
this
is
the
difference
between
opinion
and
imagination
,
that
an
imagination
alone
is
not
sufficient
to
cause
a
feare
,
but
an
opinion
is
:
for
if
I
doe
imagine
that
a
house
may
fall
upon
mee
,
it
is
not
enough
to
make
me
afraid
,
unlesse
I
beleeve
or
have
an
opinion
it
will
be
so
indeed
:
for
then
it
is
sufficient
to
make
mee
afraid
.
And
hereof
commeth
the
feare
that
murderers
alwaies
have
,
by
reason
of
the
suspition
they
conceive
,
that
their
enemies
do
lie
in
wait
for
them
.
If
then
the
opinion
and
only
suspition
of
danger
is
able
to
cause
the
greatest
courage
to
feare
,
how
is
it
that
the
certaintie
and
beleefe
of
so
many
&
so
great
terrible
miseries
(
which
are
farre
more
sure
than
anie
opinion
)
dooth
not
make
thee
to
seare
.
If
thou
perceivest
,
that
for
these
many
yeares
past
thou
hast
lead
a
licentious
and
sinfull
life
,
and
that
at
the
last
,
according
to
present
justice
,
thou
art
condemned
to
these
horrible
torments
in
hell
:
if
also
there
appeare
by
probable
conjecture
,
that
there
is
no
more
likelyhood
of
thy
amendment
for
ensuing
years
to
come
,
than
there
was
in
those
alreadie
past
,
how
happeneth
it
,
that
running
headlong
into
so
manifest
a
daunger
,
thou
art
not
at
all
afraid
?
Especially
,
considering
the
sinfull
state
wherin
thou
livest
,
and
the
horrible
paines
and
torments
which
doe
attend
for
thee
,
&
the
time
which
thou
hast
lost
,
and
the
endlesse
repentaunce
which
thou
shalt
have
therefore
in
the
most
horrible
torments
of
hell
.
Assuredly
,
it
goeth
beyond
the
compas
of
all
common
sence
and
conceit
of
humane
reason
,
to
consider
,
That
there
should
bee
such
negligent
,
wilfull
,
grosse
,
and
carelesse
blindnesse
,
able
to
enter
and
take
such
deepe
rooting
in
the
soule
of
man
.
❧
Of
the
glorie
of
the
blessed
Saints
in
Heaven
.
TO
the
end
there
might
want
nothing
to
stir
up
our
mindes
to
vertue
,
after
the
paines
which
Almightie
God
threateneth
to
the
wicked
,
he
dooth
also
set
before
us
the
reward
of
the
good
:
which
is
,
that
glorie
and
everlasting
life
which
the
blessed
Saints
doe
enjoy
in
heaven
,
whereby
he
dooth
very
mightily
allure
us
to
the
love
of
the
same
.
But
what
manner
of
thing
this
reward
,
and
what
this
life
is
,
there
is
no
tongue
,
neither
of
angels
nor
of
men
,
that
is
sufficient
to
expresse
it
.
Howbeit
,
that
wee
may
have
some
kind
of
savor
&
knowledge
therof
,
I
intend
here
to
rehearse
even
word
for
word
,
what
S.
Augustine
sayth
in
one
of
his
meditations
,
speaking
of
the
life
everlasting
(
ensuing
this
transitorie
time
)
and
the
joies
of
the
blessed
Saints
in
heaven
.
O
life
(
sayth
he
)
prepared
by
almighty
God
for
his
friends
,
a
blessed
life
,
a
secure
life
,
a
quiet
life
,
a
beautifull
life
,
a
cleane
life
,
a
chast
life
,
a
holy
life
,
a
life
that
knoweth
no
death
,
a
life
without
sadnesse
,
without
labour
,
without
greefe
,
without
trouble
,
without
corruption
,
without
feare
,
without
variety
,
without
alteration
,
a
life
replenished
with
all
beautie
and
dignity
;
where
there
is
neither
enemy
that
can
offend
,
nor
delight
that
can
annoy
,
where
love
is
perfect
,
and
no
feare
at
all
,
where
the
day
is
everlasting
,
and
the
spirit
of
all
is
one
:
where
almightie
God
is
seene
face
to
face
,
who
is
the
only
meat
whereupon
they
feed
without
lothsomnesse
:
it
delighteth
me
to
consider
thy
brightnesse
,
&
thy
treasures
do
rejoice
my
longing
heart
.
The
more
I
consider
thee
,
the
more
I
am
stricken
in
love
with
thee
.
The
great
desire
I
have
of
thee
,
doth
wonderfully
delight
me
,
&
no
lesse
pleasure
is
it
to
me
to
keep
thee
in
my
remembrance
.
O
life
most
happie
,
ô
kingdome
truly
blessed
,
wherin
there
is
no
death
nor
end
,
neither
yet
succession
of
time
,
where
the
day
continuing
evermore
without
night
,
knoweth
not
anie
mutation
;
where
the
victorious
conqueror
being
joined
with
those
everlasting
quires
of
Angels
,
and
having
his
head
crowned
with
a
garland
of
glorie
,
singeth
unto
Almightie
God
one
of
the
songs
of
Syon
.
Oh
happie
,
yea
,
and
most
happie
should
my
soule
bee
,
if
when
the
race
of
this
my
pilgrimage
is
ended
,
I
might
bee
worthie
to
see
thy
glorie
,
thy
blessednes
,
thy
beautie
,
the
wals
and
gates
of
thy
city
,
thy
streets
,
thy
lodgings
,
thy
noble
citizens
,
and
thine
omnipotent
king
in
his
most
glorious
majestie
.
The
stones
of
thy
wals
are
precious
,
thy
gates
are
adorned
with
bright
pearles
,
thy
streets
are
of
very
fine
excellent
gold
,
in
which
there
never
faile
perpetuall
praises
;
thy
houses
are
paved
with
rich
stones
,
wrought
throghout
with
Zaphirs
,
and
covered
above
with
massie
gold
,
where
no
uncleane
thing
may
enter
,
neither
dooth
any
abide
there
that
is
defiled
.
Faire
and
beautifull
in
thy
delights
art
thou
ô
Ierusalem
our
mother
,
none
of
those
thinges
are
suffered
in
thee
,
that
are
suffered
here
.
There
is
great
diversitie
betweene
thy
things
and
the
things
that
we
doe
continually
see
in
this
life
.
In
thee
is
never
seene
neither
darkenesse
nor
night
,
neither
yet
any
change
of
time
.
The
light
that
shineth
in
thee
,
commeth
neither
of
lampes
,
nor
of
Sunne
or
Moone
,
nor
yet
of
bright
glittering
stars
,
but
God
that
proceedeth
of
God
,
and
the
light
that
commeth
of
light
,
is
he
that
giveth
clearenesse
unto
thee
.
Even
the
very
king
of
kings
himselfe
keepeth
continuall
residence
in
the
middest
of
thee
,
compassed
about
with
his
officers
and
servants
.
There
doe
the
Angels
in
their
orders
and
quires
sing
a
most
sweet
and
melodious
harmonie
.
There
is
celebrated
a
perpetuall
solemnitie
and
feast
with
everie
one
of
them
that
commeth
thither
,
after
his
departure
out
of
this
pilgrimage
.
There
bee
the
orders
of
Prophets
;
there
is
the
famous
companie
of
the
Apostles
;
there
is
the
invincible
armie
of
Martyrs
;
there
is
the
most
reverent
assembly
of
confessours
;
there
are
the
true
and
perfect
religious
persons
;
there
are
the
holy
Virgines
,
which
have
overcome
both
the
pleasures
of
the
world
,
and
the
frailtie
of
their
owne
nature
;
there
are
the
young
men
and
young
women
,
more
auncient
in
vertue
than
in
yeares
;
there
are
the
sheepe
and
little
lambs
that
have
escaped
from
the
wolves
,
and
from
the
deceitfull
snares
of
this
life
,
and
therefore
do
now
keep
a
perpetuall
feast
,
each
one
in
his
place
,
all
alike
in
joy
,
though
different
in
degree
.
There
,
Charitie
raigneth
in
her
full
perfection
,
for
unto
them
God
is
all
in
all
,
whome
they
behold
without
end
,
in
whose
love
they
be
all
continually
inflamed
,
whom
they
doe
alwaies
love
,
and
in
loving
,
do
praise
,
and
in
praising
,
doe
love
,
and
all
their
exercises
consist
in
praises
,
without
wearinesse
,
and
without
travell
.
O
happie
were
I
,
yea
,
and
very
happy
indeed
,
if
at
what
time
I
shall
bee
loosed
out
of
the
prison
of
this
wretched
bodie
,
I
might
bee
thought
worthie
to
hear
those
songs
of
that
heavenly
melodie
,
sung
in
the
praise
of
the
everlasting
king
,
by
all
the
cittizens
of
that
so
noble
cittie
.
Happie
were
I
,
and
very
happie
,
if
I
might
obtaine
a
roome
among
the
chaplaines
of
that
chappell
,
and
wait
for
my
turne
also
to
sing
my
Alleluia
.
If
I
might
be
neare
to
my
king
,
my
God
,
my
Lord
,
and
see
him
in
his
glorie
,
even
as
he
promised
mee
,
when
he
said
:
O
father
,
this
is
my
last
determinate
will
,
that
all
those
that
thou
hast
given
unto
mee
,
may
bee
with
me
,
and
see
the
glorie
which
I
had
with
thee
before
the
world
was
created
.
Hetherto
are
the
words
of
S.
Augustine
.
Nowe
tell
mee
(
Christian
brother
)
what
a
day
of
glorious
shine
shall
that
bee
unto
thee
(
if
thou
lead
thy
life
in
Gods
feare
)
when
after
the
course
of
this
pilgrimage
,
thou
shalt
passe
from
death
to
immortallitie
;
and
in
that
passage
,
when
others
shall
begin
to
feare
,
thou
shalt
begin
to
rejoyce
,
and
lift
up
thyhead
because
the
day
of
thy
deliverance
is
at
hand
?
Come
foorth
a
little
(
sayth
S.
Ierome
unto
the
Virgine
Eustochia
)
out
of
the
prison
of
this
body
,
and
when
thou
art
before
the
gate
of
this
▪
Tabernacle
,
set
before
thy
eyes
the
reward
that
thou
hopest
to
have
for
thy
present
labours
.
Tell
mee
,
what
a
day
shall
that
bee
,
when
our
Lord
himselfe
with
all
his
Saints
,
shall
come
&
meet
thee
in
the
way
,
saying
unto
thee
:
Arise
and
make
hast
O
my
beloved
,
my
delight
,
and
my
Turtle
dove
,
for
now
the
Winter
is
past
,
and
the
tempestuous
waters
are
ceased
,
and
flowers
doe
begin
to
appeare
in
our
land
.
Cant.

Howe
great
joy
shall
thy
soule
then
receive
,
when
it
shall
bee
at
that
time
presented
before
the
throne
of
the
most
blessed
Trinitie
,
by
the
hands
of
the
holy
Angels
(
especially
by
that
Angell
,
to
whom
thou
was
committed
,
as
to
a
faithful
keeper
)
and
when
this
Angell
,
with
all
the
rest
,
shall
declare
thy
good
workes
,
and
what
crosses
,
tribulations
,
and
injuries
thou
hast
suffered
for
Gods
sake
.
Acts
9.
S.
Luke
writeth
,
That
when
holy
Tabitha
,
the
great
almes
giver
,
was
dead
,
all
the
widdowes
and
poore
folke
came
about
the
Apostle
S.
Peter
,
shewing
unto
him
the
garments
which
she
had
given
them
:
where
with
the
Apostle
being
moved
,
made
his
prayer
unto
Almightie
God
for
that
so
mercifull
a
woman
,
and
by
his
praiers
he
raised
her
again
to
life
.
Now
what
a
gladnesse
will
it
be
to
thy
soule
,
when
in
the
middest
of
those
blessed
spirits
thou
shalt
bee
placed
,
with
remembrance
of
thy
almes
deeds
,
thy
praiers
and
fastings
,
the
innocencie
of
thy
lise
,
thy
suffering
of
wrongs
and
injuries
,
thy
patience
in
afflictions
,
thy
temperance
in
diet
,
with
all
other
vertues
and
good
workes
that
thou
hast
done
in
all
thy
life
.
O
how
great
joy
shalt
thou
receive
at
that
time
for
all
the
good
deedes
that
thou
hast
wrought
!
how
clearly
then
shalt
thou
understand
the
value
&
the
excellencie
of
vertue
!
There
the
obedient
man
shall
talk
of
victories
;
there
vertue
shall
receive
her
reward
,
and
the
good
honoured
according
to
their
merite
.
Moreover
,
what
a
pleasure
will
it
bee
unto
thee
,
when
thou
shalt
see
thy selfe
to
bee
in
that
sure
haven
,
and
shalt
looke
backe
upon
the
course
of
thy
navigation
which
thou
hast
sayled
here
in
this
life
:
when
thou
shalt
remember
the
tempests
wherein
thou
hast
been
tossed
,
the
straits
through
which
thou
hast
passed
,
and
the
daungers
of
theeves
and
pyrats
,
from
whom
thou
hast
escaped
.
There
is
the
place
where
they
shall
sing
the
song
of
the
Prophet
,
which
sayth
,
Had
it
not
ben
that
our
Lord
had
ben
mine
helper
,
it
could
not
be
but
my
soule
had
gone
into
hell
.
Especially
,
when
from
thence
thou
shalt
behold
so
many
sinnes
as
are
committed
every
houre
in
the
world
,
so
many
souls
as
doe
descend
every
day
into
hell
,
and
how
it
hath
pleased
Almightie
God
,
that
among
such
a
multitude
of
damned
persons
,
thou
shouldest
bee
of
the
number
of
his
elect
,
and
one
of
those
to
whome
hee
would
grant
such
exceeding
great
felicitie
and
glorie
.
Besides
all
this
,
what
a
goodly
sight
will
it
be
to
see
those
seats
filled
up
,
and
the
citie
builded
,
and
the
wals
of
that
noble
Ierusalem
repaired
againe
?
With
what
chearfull
embracings
shall
the
whole
court
of
heaven
entertaine
them
,
beholding
them
when
they
come
loaden
with
the
spoiles
of
their
vanquished
enemies
?
there
shall
those
valiant
men
and
women
enter
with
triumph
,
which
have
together
with
the
world
conquered
the
weakenesse
of
their
owne
fraile
nature
.
There
shall
they
enter
which
have
suffred
martirdom
for
Christs
sake
,
with
double
triumph
over
the
flesh
&
the
world
,
adorned
with
all
coelestiall
glorie
.
There
shall
also
daily
enter
many
young
men
and
children
,
which
have
vanquished
the
tendernesse
of
their
young
yeares
with
discretion
and
vertue
.
Oh
,
how
sweet
and
savorie
shall
the
fruit
of
vertue
then
be
,
although
for
a
time
before
her
roots
seemed
very
bitter
:
sweet
is
the
cold
evening
after
the
hote
sunnie
day
;
sweet
is
〈…〉
●ountaine
to
the
weary
〈…〉
travailer
;
sweet
is
〈…〉
sleepe
to
the
tired
servaunt
:
but
much
more
sweet
is
it
to
the
Saints
in
heaven
to
enjoy
peace
after
warre
,
securitie
after
perill
,
eternall
rest
after
their
paines
and
travels
:
for
then
are
the
warres
at
an
end
,
then
need
they
no
more
to
goe
all
armed
,
both
on
the
right
side
and
on
the
left
.
The
children
of
Israel
went
forth
armed
towards
the
land
of
Promise
,
but
after
that
the
land
was
conquered
,
they
laid
downe
their
speares
,
and
cast
awa●
〈…〉
armour
,
and
forget
〈…〉
and
turmoile
〈…〉
,
each
one
under
the
shaddow
of
his
pavillion
and
harbour
enjoied
the
fruit
of
their
sweet
peace
.
Now
may
the
watching
Prophet
come
down
from
his
standing
,
that
did
watch
and
fix
his
feet
upon
the
place
of
the
Sentinell
.
There
is
no
more
feare
of
invasion
by
the
terrible
atmies
of
the
bloudie
enemies
:
there
is
no
place
for
the
subtill
crafts
of
the
lurking
viper
:
there
cannot
arrive
the
deadly
sight
of
the
venomous
Baseliske
,
nor
yet
shall
the
hissing
of
the
auncient
serpent
bee
heard
there
;
but
onely
the
soft
breathing
aire
of
the
holy
ghost
,
wherein
is
beholden
the
glorie
of
Almightie
God
.
This
is
the
region
of
all
peace
,
the
place
of
securitie
,
situated
above
all
the
elements
,
whether
the
cloudes
and
stormie
winds
of
the
darke
aire
cannot
come
.
O
what
glorious
things
have
been
spoken
of
thee
,
ô
cittie
of
God
.
Blessed
are
they
(
saith
holy
Tobias
)
that
love
thee
,
and
enjoy
thy
peace
.
O
my
sould
praise
our
Lord
,
for
he
hath
delivered
Ierusalem
his
citie
from
all
her
troubles
.
Happie
shall
I
bee
,
if
the
remnant
of
my
posteritie
might
come
to
see
the
clearenesse
of
Ierusalem
:
her
gates
shall
bee
wrought
with
Zaphirs
and
Emeraulds
,
and
all
the
circuit
of
her
wals
shall
bee
built
with
precious
stones
,
her
streets
shall
bee
paved
with
white
and
pollished
marble
,
and
in
all
parts
of
her
territories
shall
be
sung
Alleluia
.
O
joyfull
countrey
!
ô
sweet
glorie
!
ô
blessed
companie
!
who
shall
bee
those
so
fortunate
and
happie
that
are
elected
for
thee
?
It
seemeth
a
presumption
to
desire
thee
,
and
yet
I
will
not
live
without
the
desire
of
thee
.
O
yee
sonnes
of
Adam
,
a
race
of
men
,
miserably
blinded
and
deceived
.
O
yee
scattered
sheepe
,
wandering
out
of
your
right
way
,
if
this
be
your
sheep-coat
,
whether
goe
you
backeward
?
What
meane
you
?
Why
suffer
you
such
an
excellent
benefit
to
bee
wilfully
lost
for
not
taking
so
little
paines
?
What
wise
man
would
not
desire
,
that
all
labour
and
paine
of
the
world
were
imposed
unto
him
?
that
all
sorrows
,
afflictions
,
&
diseases
were
even
poured
upon
him
as
thicke
as
haile
;
that
persecutions
,
tribulations
,
&
greefs
,
with
one
to
molest
him
,
another
to
disquiet
him
,
yea
,
that
all
creatures
in
the
world
did
conspire
against
him
,
being
scorned
&
made
a
laughing
stocke
of
all
men
;
and
that
his
whole
life
were
converted
into
weepings
and
lamentations
,
so
that
in
the
next
life
hee
might
find
repose
in
the
heavenly
harbor
of
eternall
consolation
,
and
be
thought
meet
to
have
a
place
among
that
blessed
people
,
which
are
adorned
and
beautified
with
such
inestimable
glorie
.
And
thou
,
ô
foolish
lover
of
this
miserable
world
,
goe
thy
way
,
seek
as
long
as
thou
wilt
for
honors
&
promotions
,
build
sumptuous
houses
&
palaces
,
purchase
lands
and
possessions
,
in
large
thy
territories
&
dominions
,
yea
,
commaund
if
thou
wilt
whole
empires
and
worlds
,
yet
shalt
thou
never
bee
so
great
as
the
least
of
all
the
servants
of
almightie
God
,
who
shall
receive
that
treasure
which
this
world
cannot
give
,
&
shall
enjoy
that
felicitie
,
which
shal
endure
for
evermore
,
when
thou
with
thy
pomp
and
riches
,
shall
bear
the
rich
glutton
companie
,
whose
buriall
is
in
the
deepe
vault
of
hell
:
but
the
devout
spirituall
man
shall
be
carried
by
the
holy
Angels
with
poore
Lazarus
into
Abrahams
bosome
,
a
place
of
perpetuall
rest
,
joy
,
sollace

and
eternall

,
¶
Of
the
benefites
which
our
Lord
promiseth
to
give
in
this
present
life
,
to
such
as
live
a
iust
and
godly
life
.
PEradventure
thou
wilt
now
say
,
that
al
these
things
before
rehearsed
,
bee
rewards
and
punishments
only
for
the
life
to
come
:
and
that
thou
desirest
to
see
something
in
this
present
life
,
because
our
mindes
are
wont
to
bee
mooved
very
much
with
the
sight
of
things
present
.
To
satisfie
thee
herein
,
I
will
also
explaine
unto
thee
what
may
answere
thy
desire
.
For
althogh
our
Lord
do
reserve
the
best
wine
,
and
the
delicat
dishes
of
most
delight
,
untill
the
end
of
the
banket
,
yet
he
suffereth
not
his
friends
to
bee
utterly
destitute
of
meat
and
drinke
in
this
tedious
voyage
:
for
he
knoweth
very
wel
,
that
they
could
not
otherwise
hold
out
in
their
journey
.
And
therfore
when
he
said
unto
Abraham
,
Feare
not
Abraham
,
for
I
am
thy
defendor
,
and
thy
reward
shall
bee
exceeding
great
:
By
these
wordes
hee
promised
two
thinges
,
the
one
for
the
time
present
,
that
was
,
to
be
his
safegard
and
defence
in
all
such
things
as
may
happen
in
this
life
;
&
the
other
for
the
time
to
come
,
and
that
is
,
the
reward
of
glorie
which
is
reserved
for
the
next
life
.
But
how
great
the
first
promise
is
,
and
how
many
kinds
of
benefites
and
favours
are
therein
included
,
no
man
is
able
to
understand
,
but
onely
hee
,
that
hath
with
great
diligence
read
the
holy
scriptures
,
wherein
no
one
thing
is
more
often
repeated
and
set
forth
,
than
the
greatnesse
of
the
favours
,
benefits
,
and
priviledges
,
which
Almightie
God
promiseth
unto
his
friends
in
this
life
.
Hearken
what
Salomon
saith
in
the
third
chapter
of
his
Proverbes
,
as
touching
this
matter
.
Blessed
is
that
man
that
findeth
wisdome
,
for
it
is
better
to
have
it
,
than
all
the
treasures
of
silver
and
gold
,
be
they
never
so
excellent
and
precious
:
and
it
is
more
worth
than
all
the
riches
of
the
world
,
and
whatsoever
mans
heart
is
able
to
desire
,
is
not
comparable
unto
it
.
The
length
of
daies
are
at
her
right
hand
,
and
riches
and
glorie
at
her
left
.
Her
waies
be
pleasant
,
and
all
her
passages
be
quiet
,
she
is
a
tree
of
life
to
all
those
that
have
obtained
her
,
and
hee
that
shall
have
her
in
continuall
possession
,
shall
bee
blessed
.
Keepe
therefore
(
O
my
sonne
)
the
lawes
of
Almightie
God
,
and
his
counsels
,
for
they
shal
bee
as
life
to
thy
soule
,
and
sweetnesse
to
thy
tast
.
Then
shalt
thou
walke
safely
in
thy
waies
,
and
thy
feet
shall
not
find
any
stumbling
blockes
.
If
thou
sleep
,
thou
shalt
have
no
cause
to
feare
:
and
if
thou
take
thy
rest
,
thy
sleepe
shall
be
quiet
.
This
is
the
sweetnesse
and
quietnesse
of
the
way
of
the
godly
,
but
the
waies
of
the
wicked
are
far
different
,
as
the
holy
Scripture
doth
declare
unto
us
.
The
paths
and
waies
of
the
wicked
(
sayth
Ecclesiasticus
)
are
full
of
brambles
,
and
at
the
end
of
their
journey
are
prepared
for
them
,
hell
,
darkenesse
,
&
paines
.
Doest
thou
thinke
it
then
a
good
exchaunge
,
to
forsake
the
waies
of
Almightie
God
,
for
the
wayes
of
the
world
,
sith
there
is
so
great
difference
betweene
the
one
and
the
other
,
not
onely
in
the
end
of
the
way
,
but
also
in
all
the
steps
of
the
same
?
What
madnesse
can
bee
greater
,
than
to
chuse
one
torment
,
to
gaine
another
by
;
rather
than
with
one
rest
to
gaine
another
rest
?
And
that
thou
maist
more
clearely
perceive
the
excellencie
of
this
rest
,
and
what
a
number
of
benefits
are
presently
incident
therunto
,
I
beseech
thee
hearken
attentively
even
what
Almightie
God
himselfe
hath
promised
by
his
Prophet
Esay
,
to
the
observers
of
his
law
,
in
a
manner
with
these
words
,
as
diverse
interpreters
doe
expound
them
.
When
thou
shalt
doe
(
saith
he
)
such
and
such
things
,
which
I
have
commaunded
thee
to
do
,
there
shall
forthwith
appear
unto
thee
the
dawning
of
the
cleare
day
(
that
is
,
the
sonne
of
justice
)
which
shall
drive
away
all
the
darkenesse
of
thy
errours
and
miseries
,
&
then
shalt
thou
begin
to
enjoy
true
and
perfit
salvation
.
Now
these
are
the
benefits
which
almighty
God
hath
promised
to
his
servants
.
And
albeit
some
of
them
bee
for
the
time
to
come
,
yet
are
some
of
them
to
be
presently
received
in
this
life
:
as
,
that
new
light
and
shining
from
heaven
;
that
safetie
and
abundance
of
all
good
thinges
;
that
assured
confidence
&
trust
in
the
almightie
God
;
that
divine
assistance
in
all
our
praiers
and
petitions
made
unto
him
;
that
peace
and
tranquilitie
of
conscience
;
that
protection
and
providence
of
Almightie
God
.
All
these
are
the
gracious
gifts
and
favours
which
almightie
God
hath
promised
to
his
servaunts
in
this
life
.
They
all
are
the
works
of
his
mercie
,
effects
of
his
grace
,
testimonies
of
his
love
,
and
blessings
,
which
hee
of
his
fatherly
providence
extendeth
.
To
bee
short
,
all
these
benefits
do
the
godly
injoy
both
in
this
present
life
,
and
in
the
life
to
come
:
and
of
all
these
are
the
ungodly
deprived
,
both
in
the
one
life
,
and
in
the
other
.
Wherby
thou
maist
easily
perceive
,
what
difference
there
is
betweene
the
one
sort
and
the
other
,
seeing
the
one
is
so
rich
in
graces
,
and
the
other
so
poore
and
needie
:
For
if
thou
ponder
well
Gods
promised
blessings
,
and
consider
the
state
and
condition
of
the
good
and
the
wicked
,
thou
shalt
find
,
that
the
one
sort
is
highly
in
the
favour
of
Almightie
God
,
and
the
other
deeply
in
his
displeasure
:
the
one
be
his
friends
,
and
the
other
his
enemies
:
the
one
bee
in
light
,
and
the
other
in
darkenesse
:
the
one
doe
enjoy
the
companie
of
Angels
,
&
the
other
the
filthie
pleasures
and
delights
of
swine
:
the
one
are
truly
free
,
and
lords
over
themselves
,
and
the
other
are
become
bondslaves
unto
Sathan
,
and
unto
their
owne
lusts
and
appetites
.
The
one
are
joyfull
with
the
witnesse
of
a
good
conscience
,
and
the
other
(
except
they
be
utterly
blinded
)
are
continually
bitten
with
the
worme
of
conscience
,
evermore
gnawing
on
them
:
the
one
in
tribulation
,
stand
stedfastly
in
their
proper
place
;
and
the
other
,
like
light
chaffe
,
are
carried
up
and
downe
with
everie
blast
of
wind
:
the
one
stand
secure
and
firme
with
the
anker
of
hope
,
and
the
other
are
unstable
,
and
evermore
yeelding
unto
the
assaults
of
fortune
:
the
praiers
of
the
one
are
acceptable
and
liking
unto
God
,
and
the
praiers
of
the
other
are
abhorred
and
accursed
:
the
death
of
the
one
is
quiet
,
peaceable
,
and
precious
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
the
death
of
the
other
,
is
unquiet
,
painefull
,
and
troubled
with
a
thousand
frights
and
terrours
:
To
conclude
,
the
one
live
like
children
under
the
protection
and
defence
of
Almightie
God
,
and
sleepe
sweetly
under
the
shaddow
of
his
pastoral
providence
;
and
the
other
being
excluded
from
this
kind
of
providence
,
wander
abroad
as
straied
sheep
,
without
their
sheep
heard
and
maister
,
lying
wide
open
to
all
the
perils
,
daungers
,
&
assaults
of
the
world
.
Seeing
then
,
that
a
vertuous
life
is
accompanied
with
all
these
benefits
,
what
is
the
cause
that
should
withdraw
thee
,
and
persuade
thee
not
to
embrace
such
a
precious
treasure
?
what
art
thou
able
to
alledge
for
excuse
of
thy
great
negligence
?
To
say
that
this
is
not
true
,
it
cannot
be
admitted
,
for
so
much
as
Gods
word
doth
avouch
the
certainetie
hereof
.
To
say
that
these
are
but
small
benefits
,
thou
canst
not
,
for
so
much
as
they
do
exceed
all
that
mans
heart
can
desire
.
To
say
that
thou
art
an
enemie
unto
thy selfe
,
and
that
thou
doest
not
desire
these
benefits
,
cannot
bee
,
considering
that
a
man
is
even
naturally
a
friend
to
himselfe
,
&
the
will
of
man
hath
ever
an
cie
to
his
own
benefit
,
which
is
the
very
object
or
marke
that
his
desire
shooteth
at
.
To
say
that
thou
hast
no
understanding
nor
tast
of
these
benefits
,
it
will
not
serve
to
discharge
thine
offence
,
for
so
much
as
thou
hast
the
fayth
and
beleefe
thereof
,
though
thou
hast
not
the
tast
,
for
the
tast
is
lost
through
sin
,
but
not
the
faith
:
and
the
faith
is
a
witnesse
more
certaine
,
more
secure
,
and
better
to
be
trusted
,
than
al
other
experiences
and
witnesses
in
the
world
.
Why
doest
thou
not
then
discredit
all
other
witnesses
with
this
one
assured
testimonie
?
Why
doest
thou
not
rather
give
credit
unto
faith
,
than
to
thine
owne
opinion
and
judgement
?
O
that
thou
wouldest
make
a
resolute
determination
,
to
submit
thy selfe
into
the
hands
of
almightie
God
,
and
to
put
thy
whole
trust
assuredly
in
him
.
How
soon
shouldest
thou
then
see
all
these
prophesies
fulfilled
in
thee
:
then
shouldest
thou
see
the
excellencie
of
these
divine
treasures
:
then
sholdest
thou
see
how
starke
blind
the
lovers
of
this
world
are
,
that
seeke
not
after
this
high
treasure
:
then
shouldest
thou
see
upon
what
good
ground
our
Saviour
inviteth
us
to
this
kind
of
life
saying
:
Come
unto
me
all
ye
that
travell
,
and
are
loaden
,
and
I
will
refresh
you
;
take
my
yoke
upon
you
,
&
you
shal
find
rest
for
your
souls
:
for
my
yoke
is
sweet
,
&
my
burden
is
light
.
Almightie
God
is
no
deceiver
,
nor
false
promiser
,
neither
yet
is
he
a
great
boaster
of
such
things
as
he
promiseth
.
Why
dost
thou
then
shrinke
backe
?
why
dost
thou
refuse
peace
and
true
quietnesse
?
why
dost
thou
refuse
the
gentle
offers
and
sweet
callings
of
thy
pastor
?
how
darest
thou
despise
&
banish
away
vertue
from
thee
,
which
hath
such
prerogatives
and
priviledges
as
these
Bee
;
and
withal
,
confirmed
&
signed
even
with
the
hand
of
Almighty
God
?
The
queen
of
Saba
heard
far
lesse
things
than
these
of
Salomon
,
and
yet
shee
travelled
from
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
world
to
trie
the
truth
of
those
things
that
she
had
heard
.
And
why
doest
not
thou
then
(
hearing
such
notable
,
yea
,
and
so
certain
news
of
vertue
)
adventure
to
take
a
little
paines
to
trie
the
truth
and
sequell
therof
?
O
deare
Christian
brother
,
put
thy
trust
in
Almightie
God
and
in
his
word
,
and
commit
thy self
most
boldly
without
all
feare
into
his
armes
,
and
unloose
from
thy
handes
those
trifling
knots
that
have
hetherto
deceived
thee
,
and
thou
shalt
find
,
that
the
merites
of
vertue
doe
far
excell
her
fame
:
and
that
all
which
is
spoken
in
praise
of
her
,
is
nothing
in
comparison
of
that
which
shee
is
indeed
.
¶
That
a
man
ought
not
to
deferre
his
repentance
and
conversion
unto
God
,
from
day
to
day
:
considering
hee
hath
so
many
debts
to
discharge
,
by
reason
of
the
offences
committed
in
his
sinfull
life
alredie
past
.
NOw
then
,
if
on
the
one
side
there
bee
so
many
and
so
great
respects
,
that
do
bind
us
to
chaunge
our
sinfull
life
;
and
on
the
other
side
,
we
have
not
any
sufficient
excuse
why
wee
should
not
make
this
exchange
.
How
long
wilt
thou
tarrie
,
untill
thou
fully
resolve
to
doe
it
?
Turne
thine
eyes
a
little
,
and
looke
backe
upon
thy
life
past
,
and
consider
,
that
at
this
present
(
of
what
age
soever
thou
bee
)
it
is
high
time
,
or
rather
,
the
time
well
nigh
past
to
begin
to
discharge
some
part
of
thy
old
debts
.
Consider
,
that
thou
which
art
a
Christian
regenerated
in
the
water
of
holy
Baptisme
,
which
doest
acknowledge
Almightie
God
for
thy
father
,
and
the
Catholicke
church
for
thy
mother
,
whome
shee
hath
nourished
with
the
milke
of
the
Gospell
,
to
wit
,
with
the
doctrine
of
the
Apostles
and
Evangelists
:
consider
(
I
say
)
that
all
this
notwithstanding
,
thou
hast
lived
even
as
loosely
and
dissolutely
,
as
if
thou
hadst
been
a
meere
Infidell
,
that
had
never
any
knowledge
of
Almightie
God
.
And
if
thou
doe
denie
this
,
then
tell
mee
what
kind
of
sinne
is
there
which
thou
hast
not
committed
?
What
tree
is
there
forbidden
that
thou
hast
not
beholden
with
thine
eyes
?
What
greene
meddow
is
there
,
in
which
thou
hast
not
(
at
the
least
in
desire
)
feasted
thy
letcherous
lust
?
what
thing
hath
been
set
before
thine
eyes
,
that
thou
hast
not
wantonly
desired
?
What
appetite
hast
thou
left
unexecuted
,
notwithstanding
that
thou
didst
beleeve
in
almightie
God
,
and
that
thou
wert
a
Christian
?
what
wouldest
thou
have
done
more
,
if
thou
hadst
not
had
any
faith
at
all
?
If
thou
hadst
not
looked
for
any
other
life
?
If
thou
hadst
not
feared
the
dreadful
day
of
judgement
?
What
hath
all
thy
former
life
been
,
but
a
web
of
sinnes
,
a
sinke
of
vices
,
a
way
full
of
brambles
and
thornes
,
and
a
froward
disobedience
of
God
?
with
whome
hast
thou
hetherto
lived
,
but
onely
with
thine
appetite
,
with
thy
flesh
,
with
thy
pride
,
and
with
the
goods
and
riches
of
this
transitorie
world
?
These
have
beene
thy
gods
,
these
have
beene
thine
idols
,
whome
thou
hast
served
,
and
whose
lawes
thou
hast
diligently
obeied
.
Make
thine
account
with
the
Almighty
God
,
with
his
laws
,
and
with
his
obedience
,
and
peradventure
thou
shalt
find
,
that
thou
hast
esteemed
him
no
more
,
than
if
hee
had
been
a
god
of
wood
,
or
stone
.
For
it
is
certaine
,
that
there
be
many
Christians
,
which
beleeving
that
there
is
a
God
,
are
induced
to
sinne
with
such
facilitie
,
as
though
they
beleeved
,
that
there
were
no
God
at
all
:
and
do
offend
no
whit
the
lesse
,
though
they
beleeve
that
there
is
a
God
,
than
they
would
doe
,
if
they
beleeved
there
were
none
at
all
.
What
greater
injurie
,
what
greater
despight
can
bee
done
,
than
so
to
contemne
his
divine
majestie
?
Finally
,
thou
beleeving
all
such
things
as
Christs
church
doth
beleeve
,
hast
notwithstanding
so
led
thy
life
,
as
if
thou
wert
persuaded
,
that
the
beleefe
of
Christians
were
the
greatest
fables
or
lies
in
the
world
.
And
if
the
multitude
of
thy
sinnes
past
,
and
the
facilitie
thou
hast
used
in
committing
of
them
,
do
not
make
thee
afraid
,
why
doest
thou
not
feare
at
the
least
the
majesty
and
omnipotencie
of
him
,
against
whom
thou
hast
sinned
?
Lift
up
thine
eyes
,
and
consider
the
infinit
greatnesse
and
omnipotencie
of
the
Lord
,
whom
the
powers
of
heaven
do
adore
,
before
whose
majestie
the
whole
compasse
of
the
wide
world
lyeth
prostrate
;
in
whose
presence
,
all
things
created
,
are
no
more
than
chaffe
caried
away
with
the
wind
.
Consider
also
with
thy selfe
how
unseemely
it
is
,
that
such
a
vile
worme
as
thou
art
,
should
have
audacitie
so
many
times
to
offend
and
provoke
the
wrath
of
so
great
a
majestie
.
Consider
the
wonderful
and
most
terrible
severitie
of
his
justice
,
and
what
horrible
punishments
hee
hath
used
from
time
to
time
in
the
world
against
sin
;
and
that
not
onely
upon
particular
persons
,
but
also
upon
citties
,
nations
,
kingdomes
,
and
provinces
,
yea
,
upon
the
universall
world
:
And
not
onely
in
earth
,
but
also
in
heaven
;
and
not
onely
upon
straungers
sinners
,
but
even
upon
his
owne
most
innocent
sonne
,
our
sweet
Saviour
Iesus
Christ
,
when
hee
tooke
upon
him
to
satisfie
for
the
debt
that
we
owed
.
And
if
this
severitie
was
used
upon
greene
and
innocent
wood
,
and
that
for
the
sins
of
others
,
what
then
will
he
doe
upon
drie
and
withered
wood
,
and
against
those
that
are
loden
with
their
owne
sins
?
Now
,
what
thing
can
bee
thought
more
unreasonable
,
than
that
such
a
fraile
▪
wretch
as
thou
art
,
should
bee
so
saucie
and
malapert
as
to
mocke
with
so
mightie
a
Lord
,
whose
hand
is
so
heavie
,
that
in
case
hee
should
strike
but
one
stroke
upon
thee
,
he
would
at
one
blow
drive
thee
downe
headlong
into
the
deepe
bottomelesse
pit
of
hell
,
without
remedie
.
Consider
likewise
the
great
patience
of
this
our
mercifull
Lord
,
who
hath
expected
thy
repentaunce
so
long
,
even
from
the
time
that
thou
didst
first
offend
him
:
and
thinke
,
that
if
after
so
long
patience
and
tarrying
for
thee
,
thou
shalt
still
continue
thy
leaud
and
sinfull
life
,
abusing
thus
his
mercy
and
provoking
him
to
further
indignation
&
wrath
,
he
will
then
bend
his
bow
,
and
shake
his
sword
,
and
raine
downe
upon
thee
even
sharpe
arrowes
of
everlasting
wrath
and
death
.
Consider
also
the
profoundnesse
of
his
deepe
judgements
,
whereof
wee
read
and
see
daily
so
great
wonders
.
We
see
how
king
Salomon
himselfe
,
after
his
so
great
wisdome
,
and
after
those
three
thousand
parables
and
most
profound
mysteries
uttered
by
him
,
was
forsaken
by
Almightie
God
,
and
suffered
to
fall
down
and
adore
idols
.
We
see
how
one
of
those
seven
first
deacons
of
the
primative
church
,
which
were
ful
of
the
holy
ghost
,
became
not
onely
an
hereticke
,
but
also
an
arch
heriticke
and
a
father
of
heresies
.
Wee
see
daily
many
starres
fall
downe
from
heaven
unto
earth
,
with
miserable
fals
,
and
to
wallow
themselves
in
the
durt
,
and
to
eat
the
meat
of
swine
,
which
sate
before
at
Gods
own
table
,
and
were
fed
with
the
very
bread
of
Angels
.
If
then
the
just
and
righteous
(
for
some
secret
pride
or
negligence
,
or
els
for
some
ingratitude
of
theirs
)
be
thus
justly
forsaken
of
almightie
God
,
after
they
have
bestowed
so
many
yeares
in
his
service
.
What
maiest
thou
looke
for
,
that
hast
done
in
a
manner
nothing
els
in
all
thy
life
time
,
but
onely
heaped
sinnes
upon
sinnes
,
and
hast
thereby
offended
almighty
God
most
greevously
?
Now
,
if
thou
hast
lived
after
this
sort
,
were
it
not
reason
that
thou
shouldest
now
at
the
length
give
over
,
and
cease
heaping
sinne
upon
sinne
,
and
debt
upon
debt
,
and
begin
to
pacifie
the
wrath
of
Almightie
God
,
and
to
disburden
thy
sinfull
soule
?
Were
it
not
meet
,
that
that
time
which
thou
hast
hetherto
given
to
the
world
to
thy
flesh
,
and
to
the
devill
,
should
suffice
?
and
that
thou
shouldest
bestow
some
little
time
of
that
which
remaineth
,
to
serve
him
,
who
hath
given
thee
all
that
thou
hast
?
Were
it
not
a
point
of
wisedome
,
after
so
long
time
,
and
so
many
great
injuries
,
to
feare
the
most
terrible
justice
of
Almightie
God
,
who
the
more
patiently
hee
suffereth
sinners
,
the
more
hee
dooth
afterwards
punish
them
with
severitie
and
justice
?
Were
it
not
meet
for
thee
to
feare
thy
long
continuance
so
many
yeares
in
sinne
,
and
in
the
displeasure
of
Almightie
God
,
procuring
thereby
against
thee
such
a
mightie
adversarie
as
hee
is
,
and
provoking
him
of
a
mercifull
loving
father
to
become
thy
severe
terrible
judge
and
enemie
?
Were
it
not
meet
to
feare
,
least
that
the
force
of
evill
custome
may
in
continuance
of
time
be
turned
into
nature
;
and
that
thy
long
vicious
usuall
manner
of
committing
sinne
,
may
make
of
a
vice
,
a
necessitie
;
or
little
lesse
?
Why
art
thou
not
afraid
,
least
by
little
and
little
thou
maiest
cast
thy selfe
downe
headlong
into
the
deepe
pit
of
a
reprobate
sence
,
whereinto
after
that
a
man
is
once
faln
,
he
never
maketh
account
of
any
sinne
,
bee
it
never
so
great
.
The
Patriarke
Iacob
said
unto
Laban
his
father
in
law
:
These
fourteene
years
have
I
served
thee
,
and
looked
to
thine
affaires
;
now
it
is
time
that
I
should
look
to
mine
owne
,
and
begin
to
attend
unto
the
affaires
of
mine
owne
houshold
.
Wherefore
if
thou
hast
likewise
bestowed
so
manie
yeares
in
the
service
of
this
world
,
and
of
this
fraile
transitorie
life
,
were
it
not
good
reason
,
that
thou
shouldest
now
begin
to
make
some
provision
for
the
salvation
of
thy
soule
,
and
for
the
everlasting
life
to
come
?
There
is
nothing
more
short
,
nor
more
transitorie
than
the
life
of
man
;
and
therefore
providing
so
carefully
as
thou
doest
for
all
such
things
as
bee
necessarie
for
this
life
,
which
is
so
short
,
why
doest
thou
not
provide
likewise
somewhat
for
the
life
that
is
to
come
?
which
life
shall
endure
for
ever
and
ever
.
❧
The
conclusion
of
all
the
premisses
.
IF
now
all
this
bee
so
,
I
beseech
thee
even
for
the
bitter
passion
of
our
sweet
saviour
Iesus
Christ
,
to
remember
thyselfe
,
and
consider
that
thou
art
a
Christian
,
and
that
thou
beleevest
assuredly
for
a
most
undoubted
truth
,
whatsoever
the
true
faith
instructeth
thee
.
This
faith
telleth
thee
,
that
thou
hast
a
judge
above
that
seeth
all
the
steps
and
motions
of
thy
life
:
and
that
certainely
there
shall
a
day
come
,
when
he
will
require
an
account
of
thee
,
even
for
every
idle
word
.
This
faith
teacheth
thee
,
That
a
man
is
not
altogether
at
an
end
when
he
dieth
,
but
that
after
this
temporal
life
,
there
remaineth
another
everlasting
life
;
and
that
the
souls
die
not
with
the
bodies
,
but
that
whiles
the
bodie
remaineth
in
the
grave
,
untill
the
generall
day
of
judgement
,
the
soule
shall
enter
into
another
new
countrey
,
and
into
a
new
world
,
where
it
shall
have
such
habitation
and
companie
,
as
the
faith
&
workes
were
which
it
had
in
this
life
.
This
faith
telleth
thee
also
,
that
both
the
reward
of
vertue
,
and
the
punishment
of
vice
,
is
a
thing
so
wonderfull
,
that
although
the
whole
world
were
full
of
bookes
,
and
all
creatures
were
writers
,
yet
shold
they
all
bee
wearied
,
and
the
world
come
to
an
end
,
before
they
should
end
their
description
,
&
make
a
perfect
declaration
what
is
comprehended
in
each
one
of
these
points
.
This
faith
informeth
thee
also
,
that
the
debts
and
duties
which
we
owe
to
almightie
God
,
are
so
great
,
that
albeit
a
man
had
so
many
lives
as
there
bee
sands
in
the
sea
,
yet
would
they
not
suffice
,
if
they
were
all
employed
in
his
service
.
And
this
faith
likewise
telleth
thee
,
that
vertue
is
such
an
excellent
treasure
,
that
all
the
treasures
of
the
world
,
and
al
that
mans
heart
can
desire
,
are
in
no
sort
comparable
unto
it
.
Wherefore
,
if
there
be
so
many
and
so
great
respects
that
doe
invite
us
unto
vertue
,
how
commeth
it
to
passe
,
that
there
bee
so
few
lovers
and
followers
of
the
same
?
If
men
be
mooved
with
gaine
and
commodity
,
what
greater
commoditie
can
there
be
than
to
attaine
life
everlasting
?
If
they
be
moved
with
fear
of
punishment
,
what
greater
punishment
can
bee
found
,
than
the
most
horrible
everlasting
dreadfull
torments
in
the
lake
of
fire
and
brimstone
,
to
continue
even
world
without
end
?
If
that
bonds
of
debts
and
benefites
;
what
debts
are
greater
than
these
which
we
owe
unto
the
almightie
God
,
as
well
for
that
hee
is
which
he
is
,
as
also
for
that
which
wee
have
received
of
him
?
If
the
feare
of
perils
doe
move
us
;
what
greater
perill
can
there
bee
than
death
,
the
houre
thereof
being
so
uncertaine
,
and
the
account
so
strait
?
If
thou
be
moved
with
peace
,
libertie
,
quietnes
of
mind
,
and
with
a
pleasant
life
,
(
which
are
things
that
all
the
world
desires
)
it
is
certaine
,
that
all
these
are
found
much
better
in
the
life
that
is
governed
by
vertue
and
reason
,
than
in
that
life
which
is
ruled
by
the
affections
and
passions
of
the
mind
,
forsomuch
as
man
is
a
reasonable
creature
,
and
no
beast
.
Howbeit
,
in
case
thou
account
all
this
as
not
sufficient
to
move
thee
thereunto
,
yet
let
it
suffice
thee
to
consider
further
,
that
even
Almightie
God
so
abased
himselfe
for
thy
sake
,
that
he
descended
from
heaven
unto
the
earth
,
and
became
man
,
and
whereas
he
created
the
whole
world
in
sixe
dayes
,
hee
bestowed
three
and
thirtie
yeares
about
thy
redemption
,
yea
,
and
was
also
contented
for
the
same
to
leese
his
life
.
Almightie
God
died
,
that
sinne
should
die
:
and
yet
for
all
this
doe
wee
endeavor
,
that
sinne
might
live
in
our
hearts
,
notwithstanding
,
that
our
Lord
purposed
to
take
away
the
life
of
sinne
with
his
owne
death
.
If
this
matter
were
to
be
discussed
with
reason
,
surely
this
alreadie
spoken
might
suffice
to
prevaile
with
any
reasonable
creature
:
for
not
onely
in
beholding
Almightie
God
upon
the
crosse
,
but
whether
soever
we
doe
turn
our
eyes
,
we
shal
find
,
that
every
thing
crieth
out
to
us
,
and
calleth
upon
us
to
receive
this
so
excellent
a
benefite
:
for
there
is
not
a
thing
created
in
the
world
,
(
if
we
duly
consider
it
)
but
dooth
invite
us
to
the
love
and
service
of
our
Saviour
Iesus
Christ
,
insomuch
,
that
looke
how
many
creatures
there
be
in
the
world
,
so
many
preachers
there
are
,
so
many
bookes
,
so
many
voices
,
and
so
manie
reasons
,
which
doe
all
call
us
unto
almighty
God
.
And
how
is
it
possible
then
,
that
so
many
callings
as
these
are
,
so
many
promises
,
so
many
threatnings
,
and
so
many
provocations
,
should
not
suffice
to
bring
us
unto
him
?
What
might
almightie
God
have
done
more
than
hee
hath
done
,
or
promised
more
greater
blessings
than
he
hath
promised
,
or
threatened
more
greevous
and
horrible
torments
than
he
hath
threatned
,
to
draw
us
unto
him
,
and
to
pluck
us
away
from
sinne
?
And
yet
all
this
notwithstanding
,
howe
commeth
it
to
passe
,
that
there
is
so
great
(
I
will
not
say
arrogancie
,
but
)
bewitching
of
men
,
that
doe
beleeve
these
things
to
bee
certainely
true
,
and
yet
bee
not
afraid
to
continue
all
the
dayes
of
their
life
in
the
committing
of
deadly
sinnes
?
Yea
,
to
goe
to
bed
in
deadly
sinne
,
and
to
rise
up
againe
in
deadly
sinne
,
and
to
embrue
themselves
in
every
kind
of
lothsome
,
detestable
,
and
odious
sinne
,
even
as
though
all
their
whole
endeavours
intended
by
the
practise
of
sinne
,
to
resist
all
grace
and
favour
in
the
sight
of
God
?
And
this
is
done
in
such
sort
,
so
without
feare
,
so
without
scruple
of
mind
,
so
without
breaking
of
one
houres
sleepe
,
and
without
the
refraining
of
anie
one
delicate
morsell
of
meat
for
the
same
,
as
if
all
that
they
beleeved
,
were
dreames
,
and
olde
wives
tales
,
and
as
if
all
that
the
holy
Evangelists
have
written
,
were
meere
fiction
and
fables
.
But
tel
me
thou
that
art
such
a
desperate
wilfull
rebell
against
thy
Creator
and
Redeemer
,
which
by
thy
detestable
life
and
dissolute
conversation
,
doest
evidence
thy selfe
to
be
a
firebrand
,
prepared
to
burne
in
those
everlasting
and
revenging
horrible
fires
of
hell
:
What
wouldest
thou
have
done
more
than
thou
hast
done
,
in
case
thou
haddest
beene
persuaded
,
that
all
were
meere
lies
which
thou
hast
beleeved
:
?
;
For
although
that
for
feare
of
incurring
the
daunger
of
the
princes
lawes
,
and
the
execution
of
their
force
upon
thee
,
thou
hast
somewhat
brideled
thine
appetites
;
yet
doth
it
not
appeare
,
that
for
any
feare
of
Almightie
God
,
thou
hast
refrained
thy
will
in
any
one
thing
,
neither
from
carnall
pleasures
,
nor
from
taking
revenge
of
thine
enemies
,
nor
from
backbiting
and
slandering
thy
neighbours
,
nor
yet
from
fulfilling
thine
inordinate
lusts
and
desires
,
in
case
thine
abilitie
served
thee
thereunto
.
Oh
,
what
dooth
the
worme
of
thy
conscience
say
unto
thee
,
whiles
thou
art
in
such
a
fond
securitie
and
confidence
,
continuing
in
such
a
dissolute
and
wicked
life
as
thou
doest
?
Where
is
now
become
the
understanding
,
judgement
,
and
reason
,
which
thou
hast
of
a
man
?
Why
art
thou
not
afraid
of
so
horrible
,
so
certaine
,
and
so
assured
perils
and
daungers
?
If
there
were
a
dish
of
meat
set
before
thee
,
and
some
man
(
albeit
he
were
a
lier
)
should
say
unto
thee
,
refraine
to
touch
and
eat
thereof
,
for
it
is
poysoned
;
durst
thou
once
adventure
to
stretch
out
thy
hand
,
to
take
a
tast
thereof
,
though
the
meat
were
never
so
savorie
and
delicate
,
and
hee
never
so
great
a
lier
that
should
beare
thee
thus
in
hand
?
If
then
the
Prophets
,
if
the
Apostles
,
if
the
Evangelists
,
yea
,
if
Almightie
God
himselfe
doe
crie
out
unto
thee
,
and
say
,
Take
heed
thou
miserable
man
,
for
death
is
in
that
kind
of
meat
,
and
death
dooth
lie
lurking
in
that
gluttonous
morsell
,
which
the
devill
hath
set
before
thee
?
Howe
darest
thou
reach
for
everlasting
death
with
thine
owne
handes
,
and
drinke
thine
owne
damnation
.
Where
is
the
applying
of
thy
wits
,
thy
judgement
,
and
the
discourse
and
reason
which
thou
hast
of
a
spirituall
man
?
Where
is
their
light
,
where
is
their
force
?
Sith
that
none
of
them
doe
bridle
thee
anie
whit
from
thy
common
usuall
vices
.
Oh
thou
wretched
and
carelesse
creature
,
be
▪
witched
by
the
common
enemie
Sathan
,
adjudged
to
everlasting
darkenesse
,
both
inward
and
outward
,
and
so
doest
goe
from
one
darkenesse
to
the
other
.
Thou
art
blind
to
see
thine
owne
miserie
,
insensible
to
understand
thine
owne
perdition
,
and
harder
than
any
Adamant
,
to
feele
the
hammer
of
Gods
word
.
Oh
,
a
thousand
times
most
miserable
thou
art
,
woorthie
to
be
lamented
with
none
other
teares
,
than
with
those
wherewith
thy
damnation
was
lamented
,
when
it
was
said
,
Luke
19.
Oh
,
that
thou
knewest
this
day
the
peace
,
quietnesse
,
and
treasures
,
which
Almightie
God
hath
offered
unto
thee
,
that
doe
now
lie
hidden
from
thine
eyes
.
Oh
miserable
is
the
day
of
thy
nativitie
,
and
much
more
miserable
the
day
of
thy
death
:
forsomuch
,
as
that
shall
bee
the
beginning
of
thine
everlasting
damnation
.
Oh
,
how
much
better
had
it
beene
for
thee
,
never
to
have
beene
borne
,
if
thou
shalt
bee
damned
in
the
horrible
pit
of
hell
for
ever
,
where
the
torments
are
perpetually
durable
.
How
much
better
had
it
beene
for
thee
never
to
have
beene
baptised
,
nor
yet
to
have
received
the
Christian
faith
,
if
through
the
abusing
thereof
by
thy
wicked
life
,
thy
damnation
shall
therby
be
the
greater
?
For
if
the
light
of
reas●n
onely
sufficeth
to
make
the
Heathen
Philosophers
inexcuseable
,
because
they
knowing
God
in
some
degree
,
did
not
glorifie
him
nor
serve
him
(
as
the
Apostle
s●yth
in
the
first
to
the
Romanes
;
)
how
much
lesse
shall
he
be
excused
,
that
hath
received
the
light
of
faith
,
and
the
water
of
Baptisme
,
yea
,
and
the
holy
Sacrament
of
the
bodie
&
bloud
of
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Iesus
Christ
,
hearing
dayly
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
,
if
hee
doe
nothing
more
than
those
Pagan
Philosophers
have
done
.
Now
,
what
other
thing
may
wee
inferre
of
the
premisses
,
but
breefely
to
conclude
,
That
there
is
none
other
understanding
,
none
other
wisdome
,
none
other
counsell
in
the
world
,
but
that
setting
aside
all
the
impediments
and
combersome
daungerous
wayes
of
this
life
,
wee
follow
that
onely
true
and
certaine
way
,
whereby
true
peace
and
everlasting
life
is
obtained
.
Hereunto
are
wee
called
by
reason
,
by
wisedome
,
by
law
,
by
heaven
,
by
earth
,
by
hell
,
and
by
the
life
,
death
,
justice
,
and
mercie
of
Almightie
God
.
Hereunto
are
wee
also
very
notably
invited
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
speaking
by
the
mouth
of
Ecclesiasticus
in
the
sixt
chapter
,
in
this
wise
:
My
sonne
hearken
to
instruction
even
from
the
first
yeares
of
thy
youth
,
and
in
thy
latter
dayes
thou
shalt
enjoy
the
sweet
fruit
of
wisedome
:
Approch
unto
it
,
as
one
that
ploweth
and
soweth
,
and
with
patience
expect
the
fruitfull
encrease
which
it
shall
yeeld
unto
thee
.
The
paines
that
thou
shalt
take
,
shall
be
but
little
,
and
the
benefites
that
thou
shalt
speedily
enjoy
,
shall
be
great
.
My
son
hearken
to
my
words
,
and
neglect
not
this
my
counsell
which
I
shall
give
thee
,
put
thy
feet
willingly
into
her
fetters
,
and
thy
necke
into
●er
chaines
:
bow
downe
thy
shoulders
,
and
carrie
her
upon
thee
,
and
bee
not
displeased
with
her
bonds
:
approch
neare
unto
her
with
all
thy
heart
,
and
follow
her
wayes
with
all
thy
strength
,
seeke
for
her
with
all
thy
diligence
,
and
shee
will
make
her selfe
knowne
unto
thee
,
and
after
that
thou
hast
found
her
,
never
forsake
her
:
for
by
her
shalt
thou
find
rest
in
thy
latter
daies
,
and
that
which
before
did
seeme
so
painefull
unto
thee
,
will
afterwards
become
very
pleasant
.
Her
fetters
shall
be
a
defence
or
thy
strength
,
and
a
foundation
of
vertue
,
and
her
chaine
shall
bee
a
robe
of
glorie
:
for
in
her
is
the
beautie
of
life
,
and
her
bonds
are
the
bonds
of
health
.
Hetherto
Ecclesiasticus
.
Whereby
thou
maiest
understand
in
some
degree
,
howe
great
the
beautie
,
the
delights
,
the
libertie
,
and
riches
of
true
wisdome
are
,
which
is
vertue
it selfe
,
and
the
knowledge
of
Almightie
God
,
whereof
wee
doe
intreat
.
But
if
all
this
bee
insufficient
to
mollifie
our
stonie
hearts
,
lift
up
thine
eyes
,
and
fix
thy
thoughts
constantly
to
behold
our
omnipotent
God
in
his
mercie
and
love
towards
sinners
upon
his
dying
crosse
,
where
hee
made
full
satisfaction
for
thy
sins
.
There
shalt
thou
behold
him
in
this
forme
:
his
feet
nayled
fast
,
looking
for
thee
,
his
armes
spread
abroad
to
receive
thee
,
and
his
head
bowing
downe
,
to
give
thee
,
as
to
another
prodigall
sonne
,
new
kisses
of
peace
and
attonement
.
From
thence
hee
calleth
thee
(
if
thou
wouldest
heare
)
with
so
manie
callings
and
cries
as
there
bee
wounds
in
his
whole
bodie
.
Hearken
thou
therfore
unto
these
voyces
,
and
consider
well
with
thy
selfe
,
that
if
his
praier
bee
not
heard
that
hearkeneth
not
unto
the
cries
of
the
poore
,
how
much
lesse
shall
he
be
heard
,
that
maketh
himselfe
deafe
to
such
cries
as
these
,
beeing
the
most
mercifull
cryings
of
our
loving
saviour
,
and
intended
for
our
soules
salvation
.
Who
is
hee
that
hath
not
cause
to
resolve
himselfe
wholly
into
teares
to
weepe
and
bewaile
his
manifold
offences
?
Who
is
he
that
can
lament
,
and
will
not
lament
at
this
?
Vnlesse
hee
bee
such
a
one
as
seeth
not
,
nor
careth
not
what
great
shipwrack
,
wast
,
and
havocke
he
maketh
of
all
the
riches
and
treasures
of
his
soule
.
