A

yea

Then

where

calleth

which
is
our
crooked
nature
prone
and
inclined
to
all
naughtines
,
the
which
hée
well
calleth
finne
,
both
because
it
is
an
enemy

and
contrary

the
law
of
God
:
And
also
because
it
is
the
roote

is
the

corruption

This
inwarde
corruption
felt
the

,
when
,
héeing
admonished
of
his

,
hee
cried
out
vnto

&
sayd
:

he
doth
manifestly
confesse
that
his

is
polluted
,
and
that

former

did
procéede
of

vncleane
harte
.
All
the
godly
doo
daily
pray
to
be
cleansed
from
this
impuritie
of
harte
,
and
doo
watch
the

as
diligently
as
they
can
,
and

suppresse

THere

more
wicked
then

And
therfore
,
they
that
studie
to
liue
a
pure
and
chaste
life
,
must
moderate
and
refraine
their
eyes
,
that
they
wander
not
to
much
abroad
,
no
passe
the
bands
of
modestie
.
Wherfore
,
this
sentence
is
oft
repeated
in
the
Scripture
by
the
godly
:
I
haue
made
a
couenant
with
mine
eyes
,
that
they
behold
not
vanitie
.
It
is
also
stirred
vp
by
hearing
,
and
therfore
,
youth
when
they
heare
bawdy
persons
(
who
are
the
Diuels

to
kindle
the
●●er
of

lust
in
the

,
vnles
they
bee
assisted

)
blow
out
their

,
by

Songs
,
they
must
stop

,

they
heare
that
by

,
which
they
can
scarse
put
out
of
their

by

.
Great
daunger
commeth
also
by
touching
,
and
therfore
it
must
be
anoyded
of
such
as
studye
to
preserus
their
Virginitie
and
Chastitie
.
OCcasion
also
is
a
great
cause
hereof
,
FIfthly
,
I
see
the
thinges
that
are
better
,
and
I
allow
wel
of
them
,
and
yet
I
follow
the
thinges
that
are
worst
:
which
is

I

yet
I
runne
headlynge

And
therefore
,
let
them
that
be
wise
,
resist
the
beginnyng
of
this
disease
,
before
it
grow
interrable
.
And

the

by
lowds
examples
,
shall
put
into

,
any
wanton

filthy
thought
,

,
let
them
forthwith
without
any
delay
,
expell

by

it

For

in
a
bewtifull

comely
person
,
finely
or
trimly

,
is
(
with
reuerence
be
it
spoken
)
like
stinkyng
ordure
in
a
golden
bore
,
beset
withall
kinde
of
precious
stones
,
and
costly

.
Agayne
,
more
shame
would
it
bee
for
you
to
lose
your
Virginitie
forthwith
,
without
any
striuynge
with
your
,
lust

concupiscence

,
beinge
ouercome
with

that
too

would

excedyng
shamefull
,
&
a
perpetual
blot
,
stayne
,
and
blemish
to
your
house
,
stocke

.
But
of
two
euils
and
mischiefs
,
the
first
is
farre
greater
,
and
more
detestable
,
and
therefore
a
wonderfull
shame
would
it
be
,
to
make
shipwracke
euen
at

first
setting
out
,
or
to
fall
in
the
beginninge
of
our
course
,
and
like
a

Apple
to
drop

trée
gréene
before

Againe
,
if
you

true
religion
,
&

heard
so
many

Lectures
,
should
now

,
where
you
began
in
the
spirit
,
your
shame

confusion
would
be
too
to
exceeding
,
wonderful
,
&
far
greater
then
if
some
ignorant
asses
should
commit
the
like
folly

.
This
circumstance

is
very
ample

large

extendes

if

for

The

For
(

signifieth
rest

Moreouer
that

And
therfore
,
horrible
ingratitude
would
it
bee

then
by
our
lewde

to
driue
them
away
from

,
for
the
holy

pure

can
not

you
would

ashamed
to

But
here
,
those
that
yield
to
this
beastly

should
remember
how
corrupt

that
count
it

much
of
his
Children
,
&
prouide
all
thinges
abountantly
for
them
,
and
they
in
steade
of
thankes
,
Finally
,
if
any
vnmarried
persons
,
should
defile
them selues
in
any
place
of
their
Parents
house
,
and
make
as
it
were
a
priuie
Stewes
there
,
it
would
aggrauate
and
exaggerate
their
offence
exceedingly
.
For
as
common
sence
and
experience
teacheth
vs
:
It
is
a
fowle
Spaniel
that
scombreth
in
his
owne
Caniell

Whiche
horror
of

,
it
would
seeme
that
God
respected

when

Thus
,
if
you
woulder
things
aright
,
you
should
finde
neither
time
nor
place
for
this
filthy
fact
.
The
multitude
of
circumstances
wherby
this
sinne
is
made
more
gr●tuous
,
are
moe
then
I
can
rehearse
:
all
circumstaunces
notwithstandinge
may
easely
bee
obserued
in
euery
finne
or
vice
,
if
there
be
present
a
minde
indued
with
the
loue
&
feare
of
God
,
and
go●ly
circumspection
.
But
these
many
for
a
taste
or
shew
?
Now
to
the
rest
that
is
needefulll
to
bee
knowen
herein
.
Yet
more
of
the
euils
,
mischiefes
,
miseries
,
and
calamities
,
that
come
by
whoredome
,
adultery
,
&
such
like
vncleannesse
:
First
,
to
all
persons
in
general
,
&
after
to
Chrstians
in
special
,
&
to
such
as
take
vpon
them
the
name
of
God
.
HOw
great
the
euill
and
naughtinesse
of
this
sinne
is
,
and
how
hurtfull
,
no
man
is
able
sufficiently
to
consider
,
yet
to
moone
vs
to
the
hatred
and
detestation
thereof
,
it
were
good
to
note
some
en●s
,
mischéefes
,
and
miseries
that
are
proper
and
peculiar
to
this
sinne
.
This
it
hath
common
with
other
haynous
crymes
:
that
it
excludeth
from
the
kingedome
of
God
,
that
is
:
It
breaketh
the
vande
of
our
communion
or
selowship
with
God
,

Bee
not
deceaued
,
for
neither
Whoores
nor
Whooremongers
,
nor
Idolators
,
no
Adulterers
,
nor
weakelinges
,
nor
tenderlinges
.
&c.
shall
possesse
the
kingdome
of

It
must
needes
bee
a
great
euill
and
mischeese
,
that
maketh
a
man
or
woman
the
deare
creature
of
God
,
subiect
to
eternal
destruction
,
by
excluding
them
from
the
kingdome
of
God
.
Therefore
,
this
euill
and
mischeefe
in
this
sinne
and
offence
,
ought
not
therfore
to
bee
counted
the
lighter
,
because
it
is
common
to
other
great
sinnes
:
but
ought
rather
to
be
counted
most
haynous
and
greeuous
,
because
it
maketh
a
man
or
a
woman
moste
miserable
and
wretched
of
all
:
But
(
as
I
sayde
)
let
vs
view
the
euils
and
mischeefes
that
come
with
this
stinkinge
sinne
peculiarly
,
and
with
none
other
.
Euils
and
mischeefes
proper
to
Whoredome
,
Adulterie
&c.
FIrst
,
SEcondly
,
Whoremongers
and
Adulterers
do
violate
,
THirdly
,
they
that
haunt
whoordome
and
adultery

After
this
manner
:
Flee
whoredome
,
for
euery
other
sinne
that
man
or
woman
committeth
,
is
without
his
body
,
but
they
that
commit
whordome
,
sin
against
their
owne
body
.
To
sin
against
our
own
body
,
is
to
do
iniury
to
our
owne
body
,
and
that
is
doone
two
manner
of
waies
:
either
by
hurting
the
constitution
,
complexion
,
or
good
and
healthful
plight
and
state
therof
:
This
is
the
will
of
God
,
that
you
his
people
be
holy
,
and
that
ye
abstain
from
whoredome
,
and
that
euerie
one
of
you
bee
skilfull
to
possesse
his
vessell
(
that
is
his
body
)
in
holinesse
and
honour
,
and
not
with
the
desire
of
lust
,
as
do
the
Heathen
that
know
not
God
.
Here
wée
sée
in
this
place
,
how
the
whoremonger
,
and
lecherous
person
,
do
sinne
agaynst
their
owne
body
:
whyles
by
committing
whoredome
and
vncle
anes
,
they
do
pollute
and
defile
the
holinesse
&
honour
of
they●
owne
bodies
.
For
to
the
holy
Apostle
Saincte
Paule
:
To
abstayne
from
whoredome
,
is
to
possesse
our
bodies
with
holinesse
and
honour
.
And
to
commit
whoredome
,
is
to
forgoe
or
forsake
the
holinesse
and
honour
of
the
bodye
,
wherewith
it
is
adorned
.
FOurthly
,
FIfthly
,
this
detestable
sinne
hath
this
propertie
also
:
The
one
.
Either
that
the
poysoned
Cup
of

beeinge
once

will
so
bewitche

darken

that
they

goe
from

,
from

to

,
and
from
villaing
to

,
vntill
they
beeinge
vtterly

,
fall
into
a
reprobate

,
and

,
that

Vice

And
so

can
neuer
leaue
beastli
pleasure

no

not
then
when
it
hath
left

The
which
wee
see
to
come
to
passe
commonly
in
the
folowers
of
●lthy
pleasure
:
that
when
the
body
,
touchynge
the
acte
of

is
vtterly
dried
vp
,
bewti
withered

their
bloud

their

and
their

yet
they
neuer

And
then
with
more
wickednesse
they
beecome

,
then
in
times
past
they
were
shamelesse

,
then
the
which

what
can

Or

SIxtly

SEuenthly

Zeale

neither

And
in
an
other
place
,
Solomon
compareth
the
followers
of
this
vice
,
vnto
an
Ore
led
vnto
the
Shambles
,
and
vnto
a
Birde
,
making
haste
vnto
the
Suare
:
For
as
the
Birde
with
a
litle
corue
is
entised
into
the
snare
,
and
so
caught
and
destroyed
:
so
doth
the
Diuell
with
the
hayte
of
filthy
pleasure
,
catch
many
,
and
lead
them
to
misery
and
wretchednes
in
this
world
,
and
endles
perdition
in
an
other
world
:
And
as
the
Ore
is
first
pleasantly
fedde
,
and
then
driuen
into
the
Shambles
,
and
knocked
in
the
head
:
so
the
Dinel
●des
many
with
pleasure
and
vanitie
,
to
prepare
them
and
make
them
meete
for
his
Hellishe
shambles
of
endles
tormentes
.
EIghtly
,
this
sinne
is
of
this
Nature
,
It
bringeth
two

at
once
,
vnlesse
god
in

that
it
bringeth
two

Hée

because
hée
sinneth
alone
,
repenting
alone
is
restored

and
in

by

grace
qui●ted

but
the
Whoremonger

Whoore

and

,
when

if

truely

they
can
not
bee
but

troubled

vexed
in
conscience
in
their
behalfe

with

they

offended

they

out

which
God
in

hath
deliuered

NInethly
,
it
taketh
away
our
good

,
It
loseth
our
good

which
as
the
wise

sayeth

is
better

and
maketh

odious

hatefull

For
the

stinketh
more
caryonlike

then
that

Leachery

beastly

These

mischiefes●

doth
this
finne
of
Whoredome

Adultery
draw

It

take

For
wée
Christians

Know

God

Therfore

that

that

〈◊〉
[

](A03079-e18910-b)
*
Christe
and
his
churche
are
one
mistic●ll
body
and
therfore
they
th●●
plucke
any
mem●re
of
the
church
,
that
is
any
christian
fr●

(
which
is
done

plucke

〈◊〉
them
〈◊〉
.
dismember
,
and
plucke
a
s●●der
Chris●e
,
as
much
as
in
them
lyeth
.
For
it
is
impossible
to
draw
Christ
to
bee
partaker
,
and
haue
communion
with
such
p●llution
&
●●lthinesse
,
who
is
not
onely
pure
and
holy
,
but
purenes
and
holynes
it selfe
.
And
because
it
is
an
abhominable
thing
so
to
doo
,
the
Apostle
vseth
that
word
that
is
onely
vsed
in
matters
of
great
absurditie
,
saying
as
it
were
:
God
forbid
that
the
thought
of
any
such
abhomination
should
euer
enter
into
the
the
hartes
of
any
Christian
.
Here
ought
we
christians
to
marke
well
,
that
our
spirituall
vnitis
that
wee
haue
with
Christ
,
is
not
onely
of
soule
,
but
pertayneth
also
to
our
body
,
so
that
we
are
flesh
of
his
flesh
,
and
bones
of
his
bones
,
as
wee
reade
in
the
sayds
chapter
,
otherwise
the
hope
of
our
resurrection
would
hée
but
weake
,
vnles
our
con●●nction
with
christ
were
such
that
is
full
,
whole
and
perfect
.
Our
coninnction
with
Christe
,
and
Christ
with
vs
,
is
far
straighter
and
nearer
their
is
the
coniunction
of
man
and
wife
togeather
.
And
therfore
,
wee
must
make
more
accompt
of
it
,
then
of
the
other
,
that
wee
may
kepe
it
with
very
great
●elitie
,
and
chastitie
.
For
if
they
that
are
ioyned
togeather
in
marriage
ought
nor
to
●oyne
them selues
with
wh●●es
and
harlots
,
much
greater
vnlawfulnesse
is
this
in
christians
,
to
rente
the
communion
and
coniunction
with
Christe
,
that
are
not
onely
one
fleshe
with
Christ
,
but
also
one
spirite
.
And
where
the
Apostle
sayeth
in
the
place
aforesayd
,
that
bee
that
cleaneth
to
an
whoore
,
is
made
one
body
with
her
,
and
for
confirmation
therof
,
bringeth
this
sentence
out
of
Genesis
:
For
they
shall
bee
both
one
●●●she
.
Which
Sentence
God
pronounced
onely
of
Marriage
:
you
must
note
,
that
whooredouie
is
the
corruption
,
marringe
,
or
destruction
of
Gods
institution
,
Marriage
〈◊〉
and
therfore
,
that
which
may
bee
spoken
of
marriage
,
may
in
some
respecte
bee
applyed
therto
.
The
Harlot
and
his
whoore
are
coupled
togeather
,
and
so
are
married
persons
,
that
marry
accordinge
to
Gods
woorde
.
But
here
is
the
disser●uce
:
the
harlot
and
his
whoore
,
haue
a
polluted
and
unpure
communion
,
wheras
the
other
is
pure
and
sanctified
by
Gods
woorde
.
The
vnitie
of
whores
and
whorem●ngers
,
is
in
Gods
wrath
,
displeasure
,
and
turse
:
But
of
the
other
,
in
his
favour
and
blessing
:
The
copulation
of
the
one
accursed
:
but
of
the
other
blessed
,
if
they
be
ioyned
togeather
,
in
the
loue
and
feare
of
the
Lorde
,
according
to
his
worde
,
in
deede
and
sinceritie
,
without
hipocrisie
,
carnall
lust
,
or
worldly
respect
.
The
remembrance
of
this
,
should
neuer
goe
out
of
the
mindes
of
vs
Christians
,
which
if
wee
could
alwaies
héepe
in
minde
,
and
not
suffer
the
internall
Puttocke
the
Diuel
to
picke
the
séede
of
Gods
word
out
of
our
harts
,
it
would
make
vs
alwaies
carefull
and
studique
to
possesse
our
bodies
in
hotinesse
and
honour
,
and
not
to
pollute
and
defile
them
with
whooredome
and
filthinesse
,
which
wée
hope
shall
raigne
with
our
head
Christe
,
and
all
his
glorious
Angels
and
Sainctes
,
in
Heauen
eternally
.
What
greater
iniury
,
spite
,
or
contumely
then
this
ran
wee
doo
to
our
bodyes
,
THe
seconde
horrible
euill
,
or
mistheese
that
whoeredome
and
vucleanenesse
bringeth
to
Christians
,
is
the
prophanation
and
vnhalowinge
of
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
which
is
their
bodies
,
and
the
conuerting
and
turninge
of
the
same
into
a
Dongeon
of
Diuels
:
for
so
sayth
the
Apostle
in
the
place
aboue
recited
:
The
bodye
of
a
Christian
man
or
woman
is
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
which
they
haue
in
them
from
God
.
Now
how
horrible
a
thing
both
these
crimes
bee
:
First
,
The
sinninge
agaynst
the
blood
of
our
redmption
.
THe
thirde
euil
,
and
mischeese
that
whoredome
and
vnclean●nesse
bringeth
vnto
Christians
,
is
that
thereby
they
sinne
against
the
blood
of
their
redemption
,
and
against
the
righte
interest
and
title
of
their
redéemer
.
You
are
bought
sayeth
the
Apostle
,
with
a
great
price
,
and
you
are
not
your
owne
,
glori●●e
therfore
God
in
your
bodyes
,
and
soules
,
which
are
Gods
.
And
in
the
Him●s
that
you
say
commonly
at
Seruice
,
is
plainely
declared
vnto
vs
,
why
,
and
to
what
ende
and
purpose
wée
are
redeemed
:
which
is
,
that
wee
beeing
*
deli●ered
out
of
the
handes
of
our
spirituall
enemies
,
sinne
,
the
worlde
,
the
flesh
,
and
the
Diuel
:
that
is
,
from
our
owne

Hee

of

purpose
committeth
sinne

and
of

continueth
therin

without
repentaunce
is
of
the
Diuell

And
the
Scripture
sayeth
in
many
places
,
that
God
beareth
no
sinners
:
that
is
that

a

that
their

are
abhomination
vnto
him
,
as

And
for
confirmation
hereof
,
I
will
not

the

of
the

of

D.
Martin

who
expoundinge
the

Psalme
vseth
these

:

of
Couethusnesse

Fleshly

What

seynge

was
the
Prayer
of
the

And
in

place
the
Prophet
inueygheth

,
whiche
thinke
,
that
when
they
praye
,
GOD
seeth
not
the
vncieanesse
of
theyr
hartes
.
This
is
(
therefore
)
a
necessarie
prayer
,
that
first
GOD
woulde
geue
vs
his
worde
,
and
defende
the

agaynst
all
vayne

And
secondly
,
that
hee
woulde

These
bee
the
very
wordes
of
this
Reuerend

constrmed
and
ratified
by

,
wherein
wee

that

that

that
is
,
baninge
all
their
sinnes
vpon
their
owne
backe
vnforgiuen
,
for
as
to
be
iustified
,
is
to
haue
all
our
sinnes
forgiuen
vs
,
and
wee
to
bee
counted
iust
and
in●●ocent
:
So
to
bee
vniustified
is
to
haue
our
sinnes
vetayned
,
and
,
wee
to
bee
counted
guilty
and
woorthy
eternall
damp●ation
.
Which
,
how
borrible
a
thinge
it
is
,
I
leaue
to
your
considerations
,
when
you
come
to
ripe
yeares
.
Fifthly
,
wee
haue
heare
set
downe
a
shorte
and
pithie
definition
or
description
of
Hypocrites
,
or
countersaite
Christians
,
thus
:
Hypocrites
are
su●che
,
Finallye
,
wee
can
not
praye
,
but
accordinge
to
the
forme
that
our
Maister
Christs
hath
taught
vs
,
whose
Schollers
wee
professe
to
bee
:
Our
Father
which
art
in
Heauen
.
&c.
But
looke
all
the
whole
Scripture
throughout
,
and
you
shall
finde
that
wee
can
in
no
wise
call
God
our
Father
,
but
only
in
respect
that
we
haue
communion
&
vnion
with
Christ
,
his
only
Sonne
,
in
whom
alone
resteth
our
adoption
,
and
title
of
sonship
to
godwarde
,
or
toward
God
.
Which
communion
and
vnitie
,
if
we
dissolue
and
breake
(
as
afore
is
sayde
)
by
whoredome
and
sutche
like
wickednesse
,
we
cannot
call
God
any
more
our
Father
,
but
our
dreadfull
and
terrible
iudge
,
for
so
is
hee
to
all
such
as
are
no
members
of
Christs
:
For
without
christe
wee
are
vnder
the
law
,
and
subiect
to
al
the
curses
therof
,
which
are
horrible
.
Deut.
28.
The
reading
whereof
would
make
a
Christian
hart
to
quake
&
tremble
,
once
to
thinke
to
dissolue
the
Communion
with
Christe
:
in
whom
alone
hee
is
deliuered
from
those
curses
,
and
without
whom
all
hange
ouer
his
head
.
And
therefore
,
whores
and
whoremongers
,
when
they
pray
(
if
they
will
say
true
)
they
can
not
say
:
Our
father
which
art
in
heauen
:
But
rather
our
fearce
,
angrie
,
and
terrible
iudge
and
reuenger
.
Neither
can
they
say
with
a
sencere
and
no
double
hart
:
Hallowed
be
thy
name
,
thy
kyngdome
come
:
Thy
will
be
done
&c.
For
Whoares
,
Whoremongers
,
and
sutche
like
,
as
as
longe
as
they
are
of
that
mynde
,
bée
determined
not
to
hallow
and
sanctifie
Goddes
name
:
but
to
prophane
and
vnhallow
the
same
:
Not
to
haue
Christe
●●igne
in
them
,
by
his
spirite
of
Chastitie
,
and
Sanctification
,
but
the
deuill
by
his
filthie
spirite
of
Fornication
.
Not
to
doo
Gods
wil
,
which
is
their
holinesse
,
and
that
they
should
possesse
their
bodies
in
holinesse
and
honour
,
but
to
doo
and
execute
theyr
owne
filthie
lustes
and
pleasures
:
And
so
of
the
relt
for
to
presequnte
all
,
it
woulde
bée
too
longe
,
but
this
mutch
,
for
a
taste
.
Likewise
,
of
the
Creede
,
or
forme
of
christian
Fayth
:
No
Whore
,
nor
Whoremonger
,
can
,
or
doth
rightly
beeleeue
any
one
article
thereof
:
For
how
can
sutche
looke
for
any
good
at
Gods
hande
,
whose
wrathe
,
anger
,
cursse
,
and
malediction
,
In
Iesus
they
beléeue
not
,
Mat.

But
whoores
and
whoremongers
haue
such
a
deadly
delight
in
their
sinne
that
is
so
pleasaunt
to
the
flesh
,
that
they
will
not
bee
saued
from
it
,
they
make
more
accompt
of
it
,
then
they
doo
of
their
owne
saluation
and
redemption
by
Iesus
the
Sauiour
.

Thus
you
see
,
that
Faith
,
Prayer
,
and
Whoredome
will
not
stande
together
.
For
whoredome
expelleth
them
bothe
,
and
therefore
is
as
a
perillous
and
venemous
Cocatrice
,
that
,
so
,
as
before
is
declared
,
eateth
vp
,
poysoneth
,
infecteth
and
consumeth
all
vertue
,
godlinesse
,
religion
,
and
christianitie
.
Now
if
whores
,
whoremongers
,
and
all
other
fleshly
minded
persons
,
had
the
grace
,
deepely
to
consider
these
thynges
:
Fyrst
,
that
they
be
possessed
with
a
Deuill
.
Secondly
,
that
they
cannot
pray
nor
serue
god
,
as
long
as
they
be
of
that
minde
,
and
so
left
open
without
defence
or
any
saulfgarde
,
to
bee
a
praye
to
all
wicked
spirites
.
Thirdly
,
that
they
are
but
hypocrites
and
dissemblers
,
whose
portion
is
in
the
Lake
,
that
burneth
with
Fier
and
Brimstone
,
as
is
reneled
vnto
vs
in
the
Reuelation
,
Chapter
.
4.
And
last
of
all
,
that
they
are
without
Faith
and
vniustified
,
and
in
the
state
of
dampnation
.
In
daunger
euery
moment
to
sinke
downe
to
Hell
,
if
God
should
exercise
his
iudgements
(
which
are
terrible
and
vnsercheable
agaynst
them
.
If
they
had
the
grace
(
I
say
)
to
consider
these
thynges
aright
,
they
woulde
soone
bée
wearie
of
so
wretched
and
miserable
an
estate
,
and
turne
to
GOD
in
haste
.
FIfthly
,
Sainct
Iohn
in
all
his
first
Epistle
doth
inculcate
,
and
beate
into
our
beades
:
No
man
can
bee
of
Christes
religion
,
vnlesse
he
doth
endeuour
himselfe
to
keep
Christes
commaundementes
.
Now
Christes
will
and
commaundement
,
is
as
you
haue
hearde
,
that
wee
should
possesse
our
bodies
in
honour
and
holines
,
not
in
lust
and
concupiscence
,
as
they
doo
that
know
not
GOD
.

For
the
Lorde
is
a
reuenger
of
all
such
thinges
.
For
God
hath
not
called
vs
unto
vncleanenesse
but
vnto
holynesse
.
Here
I
might
goe
throughout
all
the
ten
Commaundementes
,
in
like
sorte
as
I
haue
doone
afore
,
almost
throughout
the
Lordes
Prayer
,
and
confession
of
our
faith
,
and
so
prooue
that
whoores
and
whooremongers
keepe
none
of
them
all
.
For
example
wherof
,
let
vs
take
the
first
commaundement
:
If
they
did
loue
God
aboue
1.
all
thinges
,
as
that
commaundemente
requireth
,
they
would
not
disobey
him
,
for
a
litle
filthy
and
beastly
pleasure
.
And
to
touch
them
all
for
admonition
sake
to
the
ignorant
:
If
they
did
keepe
the
second
commaundement
,
they
would
serue
the
Lorde
in
spirite
and
truth
,
as
therby
is
required
,
and
not
the
flesh
in
lust
and
dissimulation
.
If
the
third
:
they
would
not
take
the
name
of
God
,
Christ
,
in
vaine
:
For
in
vaine
is
it
to
be
called
a
christian
,
the
member
of
Christ
,
but
to
bee
in
déede
,
the
member
of
an
whoore
or
harlot
.
If
the
fourth
:
they
would
expresse
in
their
life
and
conuersation
,
the
spirituall
reste
there
commaunded
,
that
is
,
to
rest
from
their
owne
will
,
to
do
Gods
will
,
which
is
our
holyuesse
and
abstinence
from
all
vncleanenesse
,
as
before
is
ofte
declared
.
If
the
fifth
:
they
would
honour
the
bodyes
of
their
Neighboures
,
and
euen
christen
,
and
not
dishonour
and
prophane
them
with
such
filthinesse
,
and
abbomination
,
and
they
would
honour
God
,
the
father
of
Fathers
,
or
chiefe
Father
,
of
whom
all
paternitie
or
fatherlinesse
is
named
,
in
Heauen
and
earth
,
by
due
reuerence
and
obedience
to
his
sayde
commaundemente
of
holynesse
,
and
continencie
from
all
impuritie
,
so
ofte
in
sacred
Scripture
repeated
and
vrged
.
If
the
sixte
:
they
woulde
not
so
cruellye
slaye
the
soule
as
they
doo
:
For
to
seperate
the
soule
from
GOD
,
the
lyfe
thereof
(
which
is
doone
by
whoredome
and
such
like
beastlinesse
)
is
to
kill
and
destroy
the
same
,
&
so
to
commit
spirituall
murther
.
If
the
scuenth
:
they
would
liue
temperately
,
modestly
;
soberly
,
chastely
,
and
honestly
,
as
therby
is
commaunded
.
If
the
eyghth
,
they
would
not
steale
away
their
owne
good
names
and
fames
,
which
is
more
precious
then
any
worldly
substaunce
:
nor
their
bodies
and
soules
from
Christ
,
the
right
owner
of
both
,
for
hée
bought
them
full
drare
,
euen
with
his
owne
harte
blood
.
If
the
nynth
,
they
would
not
beare
false
witnesse
,
to
the
whole
Church
and
congregation
of
Christ
:
protesting
themselues
to
be
the
members
of
Christe
,
wheras
,
in
very
déede
,
they
are
nothing
lesse
.
And
as
for
the
tenth
,
it
is
directly
and
expresly
,
against
lust
and
concupiscence
,
wherin
whoores
and
whooremongers
walke
.
These
thinges
might
bée
amplisied
,
and
drawen
out
at
large
,
with
horror
and
detestation
.
But
my
leasure
(
as
I
saide
)
will
not
suffer
mee
to
prosequute
all
.
Thus
much
(
for
assay
)
may
suffice
,
for
godly
,
diligent
,
and
vertuous
mindes
.
And
thus
you
see
that
whoores
and
whooremongers
,
doo
neither
beleeue
,
nor
pray
aright
,
nor
kepe
any
of
gods
commaundementes
,
and
so
consequently
,
that
christian
Religion
and
whooredome
,
can
not
bee
in
one
person
,
at
one
time
and
instant
.
And
therfore
,
as
longe
as
we
are
possessed
with
the
filthie
spirite
of
Fornication
,
wee
are
for
the
time
as
Infidels
,
and
straungers
from
God
,
and
without
a
God
,
which
how
miserable
a
thing
it
is
,
I
pray
God
open
the
eyes
of
our
mindes
,
that
wee
may
see
,
and
déepely
consider
.
These
thinges
I
thought
good
,
bréefely
to
note
,
to
the
intente
that
I
might
giue
an
occasion
to
you
,
and
to
all
that
are
Godly
disposed
to
thinke
on
,
and
to
consider
the
peculier
,
proper
,
and
speciall
naughtines
and
hurtfulnes
of
this
beastly
sinne
,
which
other
sinnes
haue
not
,
to
the
intent
,
that
as
it
is
singularly
burtful
,
so
it
may
be
shunned
,
and
auoyded
with
a
singular
hatred
,
and
detestation
.
For
it
is
more
〈◊〉
to
bée
hate●
,
that
hath
more
euill
,
malice
and
force
to
hurt
,
then
any
other
sinne
.
There
bée
many
kinde
of
venc●nou●
beastes
,
all
which
are
shunned
and
auoyded
,
but
those
that
are
most
poysonous
,
or
fullest
of
poyson
and
venim
,
are
most
bated
,
and
with
greatest
diligence
auoyden
,
such
are
Uipers
,
Sco●pions
,
and
such
like
venimous
Scrpentes
.
Let
a
godly
person
therfore
,
thinke
that
whoredome
is
a
most
poysonfull
viper
,
Cocatrice
,
or
Scorpion
,
full
of
deadly
poison
,
though
sweete
and
pleasaunt
to
the
taste
at
the
first
.
And
for
this
cause
most
detestable
,
and
to
bee
eschued
,
because
it
doth
abound
with
a
certaine
peculiar
naughtinesse
,
that
other
finnes
haue
not
,
as
hitherto
in
this
parte
hath
beene
shewed
,
at
large
.
The
sixt
parte

which
intreateth
of
remedies

mischeefes

A
shorte
Preface
to
this
parte
.
NOw
you
haue
seene
the
daungers
,
euils
,
But
on
the
other
side
,
if
like
dastardly
cowardes
wee
shrinke
and
flee
away
from
our
captayne
Christ
,
yeeld
to
filthie
lust
,
pleasure
,
vice
,
and
vanitie
,
and
followe
the
suggestions
of
the
Diuell
,
&
the
euil
examples
of
life
shewed
vnto
vs
by
wicked
worldlings
,
his

Of
these
seuen
way
〈◊〉
meanes
〈◊〉
bodely

,
for

I
will
write
somewhat
more
:
but
yet
briefly
,
for
the
avoydyng
of
tediousnesle
.
¶
The
first
,
Prayer
.
THE
first
and
thiefest
way
to
tame
this
fierce
wylds
beast
(
bodily
lust
)
is
by
earnest
and
seruent
prayer
to
call
for
the
ayde
and
assistance
of
Gods
most
holy
spirite
,
¶
The
seconde
,
Gods
worde
.
THE
seconde
way
and
meanes
to
rule
and
reigne
,
Temperance
and
Sobrietie
.
THe
thirde
way
,
When
the
body
is
low
and
coole
,
Vnapt
it
is
for
Venus
Schoole
:
But
when
it
is
well
pampred
and
full
,
In
Venus
lap
it
loueth
to
lull
.
When
this
wilde
Coulte
of
our
fleshe
is
pricked
with
prouender
of
Lururie
,
ryot
and
excesse
,
it
is
impossible
to
〈◊〉
him
without
a
fall
.
It
is
then
so
fierce
,
sauage
,
skittish
,
and
●●ruly
,
that
it
giues
many
a
breake
necke
fall
,
so
that
they
neuer
rise
againe
to
Saluation
.
An
horrible
things
to
bee
spoken
,
yet
more
horrible
to
be
seene
before
our
〈◊〉
daily
,
if
wée
had
spiritual
eyes
to
sée
it
,
but
most
borrible
to
seele
and
suffer
in
our selues
.
God
in
mercy
kéepe
vs
from
such
falles
.
But
because
this
matter
is
debated
aboue
,
in
the
title
of
Temperance
,
I
will
say
no
more
of
it
,
but
knit
it
vp
with
this
approoued
sentence
:
Leachery
is
alwaies
the
companion
of
Gluttony
,
and
therfore
〈…〉
that
he
marriage
able
,
but
not
yet
married
,
and
intende
to
leade
their
life
in
pure
Virginitie
till
they
hee
marrye●
,
must
not
eate
what
they
lust
,
till
their
bellyes
bee
full
,
but
must
vse
such
sobrieti●
and
moderation
in
dyet
,
〈◊〉
may
best
coole
the
flaming
〈◊〉
of
youthfull
lust
,
otherwise
(
though
the
best
fall
out
,
as
many
times
the
contrary
doth
)
they
will
bee
but
halfe
,
Maidens
,
corrupt
in
the
most
principall
parte
,
which
is
,
the
soule
and
minde
,
which
when
the
bodye
is
euer
deliciously
and
intemperately
sed
,
boileth
&
burneth
in
lust
and
concupiscence
,
though
seare
of
shame
,
abasing
of
〈◊〉
and
dignitie
,
lesse
of
estimation
,
accompt
,
and
reputation
,
or
some
other
worldly
&
fleshly
respect
,
re●●●ayn
the
body
from
the
external
acte
&
filthines
of
the
fact
.
For
this
,
all
learning
a
experience
holdeth
and
teacheth
:
that
Sobrietie
or
Moderation
in
diet
,
playe
and
apparrell
,
is
Mother
and
Nource
of
Virginitie
and
Chastitie
.
And
that
without
this
Sobrietie
,
or
Moderation
of
dyet
,
&
measure
keepinge
in
Apparrell
,
sporte
and
playe
(
for
those
thinges
also
are
greate
prouokers
of
fleshlye
lust
,
vnlesse
they
bee
warely
and
circumspectly
vsed
)
and
without
the
other
exercises
of
christianitie
,
here
mentioned
,
Virginitie
and
Chastitie
will
not
louge
indure
or
continue
,
especially
if
it
bée
tempted
and
assaulted
,
as
the
Diuell
neuer
lacketh
some
of
his
Seruauntes
and
members
in
place
prest
,
and
ready
,
either
secreatly
,
or
openly
for
that
purpose
.
And
that
by
Gods
permission
,
or
rather
dispensation
,
for
the
tryall
and
seperatinge
of
the
〈◊〉

For
the
chaff
with
euery
winde
of

fléeth
out

,
that
is
,
out

,
out
of

〈◊〉
worshipping
of

,
out

But

out

either

therby

Wherof
if
wee
marke
,
wée
shall
heare
and
see
ba●●ye
examples
,
and
the
same
notable
and
lamentable
.
On
the
other
side
,
wee
should
animate
and
encour
age
our selues
to
continencie
,
Virginitie
and
Chastitie
,
by
the
examples
of
so
many
Godly
and
vertuous
younge
men
and
women
:
and
comparinge
circumstaunce
with
circumstance
,
twite
,
exprobrate
,
and
vpbrayds
our selues
of
slothfulnesse
,
cowardice
and
dastardlinesse
,
expostulatinge
thus
with
our selues
:
Why
can
not
wee
line
as
vertuously
,
continently
and
chastely
,
as
sutch
younge
men
,
and
such
younge
women
?
of
sutch
beauty
?
of
sutch
flourishinge
age
?
of
sutch
wealth
,
prosperitie
,
and
tender
bringing
vp
?
And
finallys
,
perswade
and
resolue
our selues
,
that
if
wee
loue
vertue
as
ardently
as
they
doo
,
and
hate
vice
as
deadly
,
wee
shall
by
Gods
grace
be
able
to
liue
as
godly
and
vertuously
as
they
,
be
they
neuer
so
rare
,
excellent
,
or
in

.
Let
ve
further
remember
how
honest
,
how
amiable
,
delectable
,
pleasaunts
,
and
flourishings
a
thinge
is
the
thastitie
,
and
puritie
of
body
and
minde
.
This
maketh
vs
very
familiar
to
the
good
,
chaste
,
and
temperate
Augels
,
and
most
apte
for
the
working
of
the
holy
Ghoste
.
For
,
from
no
vice
doth
this
holy
spirite
,
the
louer
of
chastitie
and
puritie
,
so
farre
flee
,
as
from
shamelesnesse
,
and
leachery
.
Neyther
dooth
hee
so
delight
,
and
quietly
rest
in
anyes
mindes
,
as
in
the
mindes
and
soules
of
virgins
,
and
chast
persons
.
And
finally
,
let
vs
not
forget
that
it
is
the
thiefe
●urty
of
Christians
,
and
almost
the
onely
thing
that
Christe
requireth
of
them
,
to
refrayne
their
mindes
from
the
dire
.
and
deadly
allurementes
of
fleshly
pleasure
:
&
to
set
their
mindes
wholy
vpon
the
cheefest
good
,
and
most
surpassing
beauty
,
which
is
God
him self
,
most
good
,
amiable
,
●eantifull
,
and
glorious
,
in
finitly
abaue
all
creatures
,
without
any
comparison
,
respect
,
or
colletion
:
For
what
compariso●
is
there
betwéene
goodnesse
,
and
naughtinesse
?
amtablenesse
,
and
vilenesse
?
be●utifulnesse
,
and

?
Glorye

and

?
all

,
and
nothing

betweene

And
finally
,
to
haue
alwayes
a
right

estimation
,
indgement
,
and
reputation
of
beauty
,
When
we
are
tickled
with
fleshly
pleasure
,
Or
els
contrariwise
,
If
this
sparke
,
or
as
it
were
droppe
of
bewtie
in
a
corruptible
creature
,
so
moue
mee
to
the

How

more

of

whiche

stirre
me
vp
,
to
the
desire
and
fruition
of
him
,
beyng
so
bountiful
,
bewtifull
&

:
This
bewtifull
creature
then
ought
to
draw
mée
to
the
loue
of
the
bewtifull

amiable
Creator
,
whose
bewtie
so
shineth
in

of
him
in

,
by
the
modest

vse
of

.
And
not
to
withdraw
mée
from
him
,
by
dishonoryng
him
in
his
bewtifull
creatures
,
whiles
I
should
abuse
them
,
to
the
satisflyng
of
myne
owne
filthie
lust
,
and

:
and
not
to
the

of

.
For
the
true
vse
of
bewtifull
creatures
,
Other
wayes
and
meanes
to
subdue
our
fleshly
lustes
may
be
noted
and
obserued
in
attentife
and
diligent
rea●yng
of
good
and
godly
bookes
,
as
:
Loremember
and
〈…〉
consider
;
the
nature
and
condition
of
the
filthie
pleasures
of
the
bodie
,
which
make
vs
that
are
predestinate
and
appointed
to
be
Citizens
of
beauen
,
companions
with
Sainctes
,
To
consider
how
vnseemely
and
reprochfull
a
thing
it
is
,
for
this
excellent
creature
,
man
,
to
set
his
whole
delight
and
study
,
and
to
vexe
and
trouble
his
bean
day
and
night
,
vpon
a
thing
so
base
and
vile
,
that
a
heast
can
doo
it
better
then
hee
,
and
oftner
for
his
life
.
A
goodly
study
and
delight
(
God
wot
)
for
so
excellent
a
creature
.
To
remember
how
shorte
,
how
momentane
,
how
vanishing
,
and
how
insincere
the
pleasures
of
the
flesh
are
,
and
how
they
alwayes
bringe
with
them
more
Wormewood
then
Hony
,
and
more
hitternes
then
sweetenesse
.
And
againe
,
to
consider
what
a
noble
thinge
the
soule
is
,
what
a
holy
thing
,
the
body
of
man
is
,
beeing
the
Temple
of
the
Holy
ghost
,
and
withall
to
cast
in
our
mindes
,
what
madnes
it
is
,
for
so
litle
a
morsell
of
fleshly
delight
,
for
so
filthy
a
tickling
of
momentane
pleasure
,
shamefully
to
beray
and
defile
both
body
and
soule
.
To
suspend
and
prophane
the
Temple
of
Christ
,
which
hee
bath
cousecrated
and
ballowed
,
vnto
him selfe
with
his
precious
harte
blood
?
To
reckon
with
our
felues
what
a
band
and
troups
of
mischeefes
,
this
pleasaunt
pestilence
pleasude
bringeth
with
it
,
the
immoderate
vse
,
or
rather
abuse
thereof
,
destroyeth
both
the
strength
,
and
also
the
beautye
of
the
bodye
.
It
hindreth
health
very
mutede
,
(
as
they
that
write
of
it
affirme
and
declare
)
and
experience
in
many
doth
auouch
the
same
to
bee
most
true
.
It
bringeth
innumerable
diseases
,
and
the
same
foule
and
filthye
as
the
Canker
,
the
Frenche
Pockes
,
the
Consumption
,
and
such
like
perrillous
,
lothely
,
and
deadly
diseases
.
It
wythereth
the
flower
of
youth
beefore
the
time
.
It
basteth
wrinckled
and
reuealed
olde
age
,
it
taketh
away
the
quicknesse
of
witte
,
it
dulleth
the
edge
of
the
minde
,
and
vnderstandinge
,
and
graffeth
in
the
vnlawfull
and
immoderate
vsers
thereof
,
a
filthys
and
beastly
minde
.
It
calleth
the
followers
thereof
at
onte
,
from
all
honest
.
Godly
,
and
●ertuous
cogitations
,
●●●ies
,
actions
and

,
and
as
it
were

a

Woman
,
bee
they
neuer
so
greate
,
wholely
in
spirituall
puddle
,
myre
and
dyrte
,
that
they
willingly
thinke
on
nothinge
,
but
that
which
is
filthye
,
base
,
and
vnseemely
for
anye
graue
person
to
speake
〈◊〉
vtter
.
And
to
bee
shorte
,
in
manner
;
it
taketh
away
the
right
vse
of
reason
,
that
is
,
the
chelfe
propertye
of
Man
or
Woman
,
wherby
they
differ
from
brute
Bease
.
And
maketh
youth
contemptible
,
abiecte
and
hatefull
,
and
olde
age
to
bee
despised
,
shamefull
,
odious
and
miserable
.
These
(
I
saye
)
and
vinerse
other
〈◊〉
and
meanes
to
abandon

pleasure
,
may
bee
observed
of

Readers
of

But
these
afore

,
are
the
most
principall
and
cheefest
,
and
comprehende
vnder
them
all
the
rest
,
yea
,
and
are
sufficiente
with
Gods
grace

for
the

of

in

Battaile

if

Then

And
as

Secondly
,
because
it

suffici●t
of

,
for

.
And
thirdli
and
cheefly
,
because
there
are
diuerse
and
sundrie
godly

therof
extant
euen
in

to

In

my

is

●monishing

warning

as

to

how

not

irreprchensibly

¶
The
last
parte
of
this
Treatice
.
BVt
finally
,
because
that
although
we
know
what
is
good
&
what
is
bad
yet
our
will
is
so
crooked
,
frowarde
and
peruerse
,
that
naturally
we
chuse
the
euill
,
&
refuse
the
good
,
hate
&
refect
true
godlines
,
&
loue
&
imbrace
vngodlines
:
practise
vice
,
&
neglect
vertue
,
onlesse
wee
be
ayded
and
strengthned
from
aboue
,
by
gods
special
grace
.
And
for
that
God
hath
prounsed
to
graunt
vs
what
soeuer
we
shall
aske
of
him
in
christes
name
,
and
hath
commaunded
vs
to
call
vpon
him
in
the
day
of
our
trouble
,
&
promised
that
if
we
so
do
,
he
wil
heare
&
deliuer
vs
:
and
finali
,
to
the
intent
that
when
you
are
fiercely
assaulted
of
your
fleshly
lustes
,
and
in
daunger
to
bee
ouercome
,
you
might
call
to
God
for
strength
from
aboue
,
to
subdue
them
and
to
keep
them
in
subiection
,
that
they
cause
you
not
to
do
any
thyng
contray
to
your
callyng
and
profession
of
sengle
life
,
virginitle
of
chastitie
.
Nor
consequently
,
against
gods
glorie
,
the
profit
of
his
Churche
,
or
your
owne
saluation
:
I
haue
translated
for
you
,
a
Godly
and
learned
Prayer
for
that
purpose
.
A
godly
learned

and
fruitfull
Prayer
,
worthy

and
in
many
other
places
of
his
Booke
to
vs
deliuered
,
for
our
eternall
saluation
or
condempnation
.
O
Most
merciful
God
,
we
wretched
sinners
acknowledge
,
and
confesse
that
in
vs
,
Graunt
vs
therefore
thy
grace
,
that
wee
folow
not
the
concupiscence
and
lust
of
our
Flesh
:
neither
prouoke
our
senses
with
an
vnbrideled
licentiousnesse
,
but
that
wee
may
resist
them
valiently
.
For
except
vicious
lust
and
desire
,
be
put
out
of
our
mindes
,
it
groweth
and
waxeth
stronge
by
litle
and
litle
,
like
seede
sowen
,
vntill
it
bring
forth
deadly
sinne
:
such
sinne
,
Sanctifie
vs
therefore
(
O
holy
father
)
seperate
vs
,
Turne
away
from
vs
therefore
(
O
most
mercifull
father
)
Gouerne
vs
with
thy
holy
spirite
,
Forasmuch
then
,
as
the
flesh
lusteth
against
the
spirit
,
Quench
in
vs
(
wee
beseech
thee
)
the
flames
of
carnal
concupiscence
,
and
represse
the
wandringe
lustes
of
the
bodye
,
least
we
beeing
ouercome
of
them
,
do
follow
our
owne
pleasure
and
corrupt
nature
.
Graunt
vs
(
most
louing
Father
)
that
wee
beeing
subiect
to
the
spirite
,
may
crucifie
our
flesh
,
least
hereafter
we
walke
in
the
vanitie
of
our
minde
.
Suffer
vs
not
,
deare
God
,
to
seeke
after
the
desires
of
our
will
,
to
bring
to
passe
the
councels
and
wicked
workes
of
our
owne
harte
.
And
if
at
any
time
,
beeing
predented
by
flesh
and
blood
,
wee
starte
aside
and
swarue
from
the
right
pathe
and
gouernaunce
of
the
spirite
,
to
do
any
thinge
vnworthy
our
vocation
,
impute
not
vnto
vs
(
for
Christes
sake
)
that
offence
,
but
remember
that
we
are
flesh
,
&
lift
vs
vp
being
fallen
with
thy
diuine
power
.
And
because
the
fleshe
of
it selfe
is
vnruly
and
vntamed
,
impatient
of
discipline
,
like
a
wanton
fat
Caulfe
that
was
neuer
vnder
hand
,
put
vpon
vs
(
O
Lord
)
thy
yoke
,
and
tame
our
flesh
by
the
spirit
,
that
by
liuing
foberly
,
and
moderately
,
wee
may
brydle
the
same
,
and
when
wee
haue
humbled
it
,
and
pulled
downe
the
pride
therof
,
by
withdrawinge
from
it
such
things
as
it
delighteth
in
,
we
may
bring
it
in
subiection
to
thy
commaundementes
,
leaft
cockeringe
our selues
to
much
,
and
cherishing
our
flesh
to
tenderly
,
we
adde
vnto
it
the
nourishings
and
burnings
of
pleasure
,
and
least
stuffing
the
flesh
with
pyked
,
selected
,
chosen
,
and
deuised
dainties
of
meates
,
and
likerous
dishes
,
wee
make
it
more
malepers
,
wanton
,
and
lasciuious
,
and
cause
it
as
it
were
impudently
and
shamelesly
to
craue
and
require
of
vs
,
that
which
without
the
breach
of
thy
sacred
commaundementes
,
losse
of
thy
fauour
(
which
is
the
foundation
of
al
foelicitie
)
and
incurring
of
thy
wrath
and
displeasure
,
wee
can
not
graunt
vnto
it
.
For
with
to
much
plentie
and
aboundaunce
of
meates
and
drinks
our
mindes
become
wanton
,
leacherous
,
&
dissolute
.
Helpe
vs
therfore
(
O
most
mercifull
Father
)
that
through
temperance
,
frugalitie
,
and
abstinence
from
superfluous
meates
and
drinkes
our
flesh
may
bee
bound
to
the
gouernment
,
rule
,
and
leading
of
the
holy
Ghost
:
that
the
body
of
sinne
may
be
mortified
and
killed
in
vs
,
and
that
thou
maist
liue
and
raigne
in
vs
which
alone
art
to
be
praised
,
honoured
and
glorified
for
euer
and
euer
.
Amen
.
