SECT.
1.
A
preface
on
the
book
of
Psalmes
in
generall
.
THe
Holy
Ghost
describing
the
genealogie
of
our
Saviour
,
from
how
many
kings
he
was
descended
,
vouchsafeth
none
of
them
the
style
and
title
of
a
King
but
David
,
and
him
twice
in
one
verse
,
Matth.
1.6
.
and
that
for
a
literall
and
morall
reason
:
partly
,
because
he
was
the
first
king
settling
and
establishing
the
kingdome
of
Israel
;
but
principally
,
for
that
he
was
endowed
with
al
princely
qualities
,
as
justice
,
wisdome
,
clemencie
,
courage
,
and
devotion
:
A
king
as
mighty
in
religion
as
valour
;
who
wrote
more
like
an
Evangelist
then
a
Prophet
.
And
therefore
the
Fathers
conclude
him
to
be
,
Homo
in
Veteri
,
non
de
Veteri
Testamento
,
a
man
that
lived
in
the
time
,
but
not
after
the
manner
of
the
old
law
,
more
like
a
Christian
then
a
Jew
.
As
the
fat
was
taken
away
from
the
peace-offering
,
so
was
David
chosen
out
from
among
the
children
of
Israel
Ecclus
47.2
.
That
which
was
most
excellent
in
every
thing
,
the
Hebrews
called
the
fat
:
as
,
adeps
frumenti
,
the
fat
of
the
corn
;
medulla
tritici
,
the
marrow
of
the
wheat
.
The
witty
imitatour
of
Solomon
doth
there
make
an
allusion
between
the
father
of
Solomon
and
the
fat
of
the
peace-offering
:
All
the
peace-offering
was
the
Lords
,
yet
all
was
not
offered
to
him
;
but
part
was
given
to
the
Priest
,
and
a
part
to
the
people
:
but
the
fat
was
fully
burnt
up
to
the
Lord
:
So
the
zeal
of
Gods
house
burnt
up
David
as
the
fat
of
the
sacrifice
.
In
this
fire
of
zeal
did
he
oft
ascend
,
Though
Moses
the
man
of
God
was
the
first
that
by
a
speciall
direction
from
God
began
and
brought
up
this
order
,
to
make
musick
the
conveyer
of
mens
duties
into
their
minds
;
yet
David
the
darling
of
God
hath
sithence
continued
it
,
as
having
a
speciall
grace
and
felicitie
in
this
kind
.
One
touch
of
the
sonne
of
Jesse
,
one
murmure
of
this
heavenly
turtle
,
one
Michtam
of
Davids
jewel
,
his
golden
song
,
is
farre
above
the
buskind
raptures
,
the
garish
phantasmes
,
the
splendid
vanities
,
the
pageants
and
landskips
of
profaner
wits
.
Et

The
Fathers
both
Greek
and
Latine
have
robed
his
Psalter
with
many
rich
encomiums
.
Athanasius
,
and
Basil
,
and
Augustine
,
and
Hierome
,
and
Chrysostome
,
and
almost
all
the
new

,
stand
so
deeply
affected
to
this

that
they
hold
it
to
be
the

the

This

was
and
still
is
more
usually
both
sung
and
read
,
not
onely
in
the
Jewish
Synagogues
but
in
Christian
assemblies
,
as
well
by
the
people
as
the
Minister
,
and
that
with
more
outward
reverence
,
then
any
par●
of
holy
Writ
.
The
Jew●
acknowledge
the
old
Testament
,
abhorre
the
new
;
the
Turks
disclam●
both
,
In
all
ages
this
boo●
hath
ever
been
esteeme●
of
the
best
&
most
learned
men
.
Yea
,
the
greatest
Potentates
,
who
with
Joseph
have
had
manu●

have
without

stooped
unto

it

,
wh●
was

as

the

of

.
Thus
,
as
we
reade
,
our
good

translated
the
Psalter
himself
into
the
Saxon
tongue
.
And
our

of

(
who
as
it
is
said

he
honoured

among

things
truly
and
exactly
translated
ou●

no●
long
before

The
Subject
of
thi●
book
is
singular
:
Fo●
whereas
the
other
Prophesies
were
the
Ambassies
from
God
to
the
people
,
or
at
least
the
abstracts
thereof
,
these
are
for
the
most
part
holy
colloquies
,
holy
whisperings
,
and
secret
conferences
with
God
.
What
a
spirituall
Library
of
all
manner
of
prayers
,
precepts
,
exhortations
do
I
here
find
!
The
Psalter
of
this
Kingly
Prophet
operateth
that
in
the
Church
which
the
Sun
doth
in

;
it
illumi●ateth
,
heateth
,
and
ma●eth
fruitfull
all
the
good
desires
of
Christianitie
.
Our
Prophet
once
desired
to
be
a
doorekeeper
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
;
this
whole
book
of
●salmes
was
but
a
bunch
of
eyes
,
opening
severall
●oores
to
let
the
soul
enter
into
all
the
treasures
of
devotion
.
This

of

,
h●

,
all
the
ancie●
Fathers
have
made
use
of
●is
book
that
begins
●th
Blessednesse
,
and
●ntains
nothing
but
●essednesse
;
Blessednesse
●ing
times
repeated
twenty
●en
times
in
the
con●ete
in
this
one
book
:
As
the
matter
is
ex●llent
,
so
is
it
digested
●o
an
elegant
form
of
●ords
:
Which
fall
not
●th
the
vulgar
libertie
〈◊〉
speech
,
but
run
in
●mbers
upon
ordered
●et
of
divine
poesie
,
composed
and
set
to
M●sicall
tunes
:
in
observ●tion
of
which
the
Psa●mist
is
as
criticall
as
the
daintiest
Lyrick
or
H●roick
,
yet
with
a
vast
d●paritie
,
both
for
subs●mitie
of
matter
and
admirable
expression
.
S●
rightly
did
Hierome
pr●nounce
of
David
to
Pa●linus
,
that
he
is
our
Si●nides
,
Pindarus
,
Alce●
Catullus
,
and
in
stead
all
others
.
Sundry
reasons
are
●ven
why
the
Lord
wou●
have
the
chief
points
Religion
included
numbers
by
the
sw●
Singer
of
Israel
.
T●
first
is
,
That
they
mig●
be
transmitted
pure
and
without
depravation
to
●osteritie
:
for
they
run
●o
evenly
and
so
harmo●ously
upon
feet
,
that
if
●here
want
but
a
word
or
syllable
the
errour
is
de●rehended
.
Secondly
;
it
is
done
●or
the
help
of
memorie
:
●or
concinnitie
of
numbers
is
sooner
learned
●nd
longer
reteined
then
●rose
.
Thirdly
,
it
puts
us
in
●ind
of
the
harmonie
●f
our
actions
:
In
which
holy
and
heavenly
use
of
the
harp
the
royall
Pro●het
by
his
tunes
of
Mu●ck
teacheth
men
how
to
●et
themselves
in
tune
,
Psal.
15.
and
not
one●
how
to
tune
themselv●
but
to
tune
their
ho●
hold
,
Psal.
101.
Fourthly
,
to
leap
ov●
a
large
field
at
once
,
a●
to
speak
a
little
more
that
of
which
we
can
●ver
speak
enough
,
it
s●veth
for
the
comfort
the
godly
who
are
mo●
often
cheared
by
Psalmodie
then
by
Praye●
In
this
last
respect
S.
A●gustine
thus
describeth
Psalme
,
Et
●liquebatur
cor
meum
,
My
heart
melted
,
and
●rops
of
heavenly
passions
distilled
into
my
sou●Suspirans

&
respiran●
Sighing
and
longing
afte●
thee
,
I
was
overjoyed
i●
spirit
,
and
wholy
overcome
with
the
frago●
of
thy
sweet
ointment●
I
will
end
this
prefa●
with
a
note
already
mad●
unto
my
hand
:
Athanasius
in
an
epistle
ad
Ma●
cellinam
De
optima
inte●
pretatione
Psalmorum
,
reports
,
that
coming
to
a●
old
man
,
and
falling
i●
talk
with
him
about
the
Psalmes
,
he
receive●
from
him
a
good
direct●on
:
whereupon
,
as
himself
saith
,
he
listened
diligently
:
The
note
wa●
this
,
That
there
is
grea●
odds
between
the
Psalms
●nd
other
Scriptures
:
for
●f
you
set
aside
the
mysti●all
part
of
them
,
the
●orall
is
so
penned
that
●very
man
may
think
it
●peaks
de
se
,
in
re
sua
,
it
〈◊〉
penned
for
him
,
and
●tted
for
his
case
:
which
●f
other
parts
of
Scrip●ure
cannot
be
so
affirm●d
.
To
this
note
of
A●anasius
I
will
adde
ano●er
of
S.
Augustines
,
●et
us
so
reade
Psalmes
●ll
our selves
be
turned
●to
Psalmes
,
till
the
●nging
of
Psalmes
and
●ymns
unto
the
Lord
●vite
the
very
Angels
of
●eaven
to
bear
us
com●any
;
so
shall
we
learn
with
a
near
approch
t●
joyn
our
souls
as
clo●
to
the
eares
of
God
〈◊〉
Philip
joyned
himself
t●
the
chariot
of
the
E●nuch
.
Then
sing
ye
me●rily
unto
the
Lord
,
O
〈◊〉
Saints
of
his
,
for
it
well
b●cometh
you
to
be
thankfull
for
you
are
the
timbre
of
the
Holy
Ghost
.
But
because
concept●ons
like
hairs
may
mo●
easily
be
filleted
up
the
dissheveled
,
I
will
tie
〈◊〉
my
loose
thoughts
certain
knots
:
I
w●
single
out
one
deer
fro●
the
herd
,
and
in
particular
fix
my
meditatio●
on
the
eighth
Psalme
.
SECT.
2.
BEfore
I
enter
upon
the
parts
of
this
Psalme
,
the
key
of
●very
Psalme
,
is
,
To
him
●hat
excelleth
in
Gittith
.
●o
are
the
eighty
first
&
the
eighty
ninth
inscri●ed
.
Some
derive
the
word
●ittith
from
a
Musicall
●strument
so
called
,
be●ause
either
invented
or
●ost
used
in
Gath
:
and
●us
the
Chaldee
Para●hrast
translateth
it
,
To
sing
upon
the
harp
tha●
came
from
Gath.
So
by
Gittith
here
may
b●
meant
,
either
such
instruments
as
were
used
by
the
posteritie
of
Obed
〈◊〉
Edom
the
Gittite
;
or
tha●
these
Psalmes
were
mad●
upon
occasion
of
transporting
Gods
Ark
from
the
house
of
Obed-Edom
,
the
historie
whereof
is
in
2.
Sam.
6.
and
6
▪
10
,
11
,
12
verses
.
Others
more
probabl●
think
it
respecteth
the
time
when
this
and
thos●
songs
used
to
be
sung
namely
at
the
time
Hag●gittith
,
at
the
vintage
which
feast
was
solemnly
celebrated
by
the
I●raelites
;
in
which
they
especially
praised
the
name
of
God
for
the
great
and
manifold
blessings
conferred
upon
man
:
Which
●s
the
whole
bloud
and
●uyce
of
this
Psalme
.
According
to
this
the
Greek
●ranslateth
it
the
wine-presses
:
&
Gath
in
Hebrew
signifies
a
winepresse
;
Torcular
calcav●
solus
,
I
have
troden
the
winepresse
a●one
,
Isaiah
63.3
.
Where
by
the
way
I
could
take
along
with
me
this
observation
;
In
those
words
the
Prophet
speaks
not
of
himself
;
for
it
is
he
that
asketh
the
question
,
vers.
●
.
Who
is
he
,
&c.
Proper
indeed
they
are
to
Christ
,
and
so
proper
to
him
onely
that
we
shall
not
reade
them
any-where
applyed
to
any
other
.
It
is
he
that
was
in
torculari
,
in
a
presse
,
yea
,
in
a
double
Winepresse
;
In
the
former
he
was
himself
troden
and
pressed
;
he
was
the
grapes
and
clusters
himself
;
in
the
latter
,
he
that
was
troden
on
gets
up
again
,
and
doth
tread
upon
,
and
tread
down
his
enemies
.
The
presse
he
was
troden
in
was
his
Crosse
and
Passion
;
never
cluster
lay
so
quiet
and
still
to
be
bruised
as
did
Christ
in
that
presse
:
But
that
which
he
came
out
of
,
where
calcatus
became
calcator
,
was
his
Descent
,
and
glorious
Resurrection
.
Upon
this
little
piece
of
ground
I
could
raise
another
fabrick
,
&
inferre
this
collection
from
the
title
,
To
him
that
excelleth
:
As
David
entitleth
these
Psalmes
,
so
doth
God
for
the
most
part
bestow
his
graces
,
to
him
that
excelleth
;
and
with
a
liberall
hand
doth
he
deal
his
favours
to
him
that
improves
his
talent
to
the
best
advantage
.
Gods
familie
admitteth
of
no
dwarfes
,
which
are
unthriving
and
stand
at
a
stay
;
but
men
of
measure
,
who
still
labour
to
find
somewhat
added
to
the
stature
of
their
souls
.
Sublimiùs
,
To
flie
higher
,
even
to
behold
the
Sun
,
as
Plinie
noteth
;
the
Suns
embleme
is
Celeriùs
,
Swifter
,
like
a
giant
refreshed
to
run
his
course
,
as
David
speaketh
,
Psal.
19.
the
Wheat
in
the
Gospel
hath
its

,
Perfectiùs

Riper
;
First

,
then

,
then

Christs

Superiùs
;
Sit
up

,
Luke
14.10
.
Charles

Vlteriùs

Go
on
farther
.
The
woman
with
childe
hath
here
embleme
,
Pleniùs
,
Fuller
,
untill
she
bring
forth
.
So
ought
every
Christian
to
mount
higher
with
the
Eagle
,
to
runne
swifter
with
the
Sunne
,
to
sit
up
higher
with
the
guest
,
to
passe
on
further
with
the
Emperour
,
to
wax
fuller
with
the
Woman
,
till
they
may
bring
forth
good
fruits
of
saving
faith
,
and
so
come
to
a
full
growth
to
be
perfect
men
in
Jesus
Christ
.
But
it
is
not
my
intent
to
angle
about
the
shore
:
I
will
now
let
down
my
net
,
and
lanch
into
the
deep
.
SECT.

THe
ground
upon
which
the
Psalmist
sweetly
runneth
through
the
whole
Psalme
,
is
a
twofold
rapture
expressed
in
a
sacred
rapsodie
,
in
an
exstaticall
question
of
suddain
wonder
;
a
wonder
at
God
,
and
a
wonder
at
Man
.
In
his
wonder
at
Man
,
the
parts
be
Antitheta
:
first
,
of
his
Vilenesse
&
Debasement
;
Secondly
,
of
his
Dignitie
and
Exaltation
.
In
the
first
each
word
hath
its
energie
,
What
is
man
?
and
then
,
What
is
the
sonne
of
man
?
paraphrastically
thus
,
according
to
the
Chaldee
,
What
is
man
?
Not
man
,
that
rare
creature
endowed
with
wisdome
&
understanding
;
not
man
,

And

the

in

looking

Having

the

of

he
brings
up

not
to

but
to
question
his

and
after
some
stand

in

makes
this

What

Secondly

What

Thou

To

so
the

Christ

got

sung

Glory

he
got
great
praise
by

Suffer

For

I●

And
gentle

Which
young

prevailed

she
brought

it

Some
have

are

inserted
in

If

as
Clemens

saith

Dei

the
first

that
God
made
for
the
institution

then
may
we
●ake
those

be

of
the

where

Here
with

we
may

the
goodly
Eutaxie
of

—

positae

Where
likewise
I
may
assume
that

How
beautifull
are

How

then
they

I

elevate
this

point
higher
,
and
next
consider
the
goodly
and
glorious

of
heaven
,
where
are
those
worlds
of
light
,
much
bigger
then
so
many
globes
of
earth
,
hanging
and
moving
regularly
in
that
bright

spacious
contignation
of
the

If
there
were
no
other
,
this
were
a
sufficient
errand
for
a
mans
being
here

to
see
and
observe
those
goodly

above
our

their

discern
those

There

Some

in

He

not

tanquam

if
these
dark

are
so
well
fitted
,
To
cast
mine

back
from

I
have
a
little

,
by
a
retrogradation
,
I
contemplate
again
the
excellencie
of
Man
,
together
with
the
priviledges
of
his
condition
wherewith
God
hath
ennobled
him
.
In
some
creatures
we
have
onely
vestigium
,
the
print
of
Gods
foot
;
but
in
others
imaginem
,
his
image
.
The
Sunne
,
the
Moon
,
and
the
Stars
are
glorious
creatures
,
yet
are
they
but
the
work
of
Gods
fingers
:
whereas
man
is
the
work
of
his
hands
;
Thy

have
made
me
and

:
I
will
praise
thee
,
for
I

his

being
not

by
that
which

perceiveth
what
is
good

bad
for
them

they
were
gathered
to
Adam

God
brought
them
to
man
for
diverse
reasons
:
First
,
To
let
him
see
how
much
he
did
excell
them
,
and
how
much
the
more
he
should
be
thankfull
.
God
made
other
creatures
in
severall
shapes
,
like
to
none
but
themselves
;
Man
,
after
his
own
image
:
others
with
qualities
fit
for
service
;
Man
,
for
dominion
.
Secondly
,
That
he
should
give
them
their
names
,
in
token
of
his
power
over
them
.
Thirdly
,
That
posteritie
might
see
what
admirable
knowledge
Adam
had
in
giving
names
to
the
creatures
according
to
their
kinds
.

upon
the
Creatures
,
yet
none
but
Man
could
see
them
:
for
he
receives
them
both
actively
and
passively
;
and
therefore
by
Logick
he
understood
their
natures
,
If
God
had
given
their
names
,
it
had
not
been
so
great
a
praise
of
Adams
memorie
to
recall
them
,
as
it
was
then
of
his
judgement
at
first
sight
to
impose
them
.
By
his
knowledge
he
fitted
their
names
to
their
disposition
:
and
even
in
this
he
shewed
his
dominion
over
them
,
in
that
he
knew
how
to
govern
them
and
order
them
also
.
To
witnesse
their
subjection
they
present
themselves
before
him
as
their
awfull
king
,
to
do
their
first
homage
,
and
to
acknowledge
their
tenure
.
Such
was
the
wonderfull
beautie
of
mans
body
,
such
a
majestie
resulting
from
his
face
,
that
it
struck
a
reverence
into
them
all
.
The
image
of
God
,
as
it
were
the
Lords
coat
of
Arms
which
he
had
put
upon
Man
,
made
the
creatures
afraid
of
him
.
Though
God
made
Man
paulò
inferiorem
Angelis
,
little
lower
then
the
Angels
,
yet
he
made
him
multò
superiorem
reliquis
,
farre
above
all
the
creatures
:
He
that
made
Man
and
all
the
rest
,
praeposuit
,
set
Man
above
all
the
rest
.
Thus
while
man
served
his
Creatour
,
he
was
feared
of
every
creature
.
The
wilde
asse
derideth
the
multitude
of
the
citie
,
and
heareth
not
the
crie
of
the
driver

We

neither

Job
.

,

How
then
is
the
fear
of
Man
upon
the
creatures
?
Though
Adam
in
the
state
of
innocencie
had
this
rule
over
them
in
a
more
excellent
manner
,
The
fear
of
you
shall
be
upon
every
beast
of
the
earth
,
and
upon
every
fowl
of
heaven
,
upon
all
that
moveth
on
the
earth
,
and
upon
all
the
fish
of
the
sea
:
into
your
hands
are
they
delivered
:
That
is
,
saith
the
Paraphrast
,
The
outward
priviledges
of
your
first
creation
I
do
now
,
though
imperfectly
,
renew
unto
you
;
Let
the
fear
and
dread
of
you
be
planted
naturally
in
every
beast
of
the
earth
,
whether
tame
or
wild
,
and
in
every
fowl
of
the
aire
,
and
generally
in
all
that
treadeth
on
the
earth
,
and
in
all
the
fishes
of
the
sea
:
All
these
,
my
will
is
,
shall
be
subject
to
your
will
and
command
,
that
as
by
you
and
for
you
they
were
preserved
,
so
they
accordingly
serve
to
your
use
.
When
Christ
was
in
the
wildernesse
with
the
beasts
fourty
dayes
and
fourty
nights
,
they
hurt
him
not
,
Mark
1.13
.
So
when
the
image
of
God
is
restored
to
man
in
holinesse
,
all
the
creatures
begin
willingly
to
serve
him
;
but
they
are
enemies
to
the
unregenerate
.
The
dogs
did
eat
the
flesh
of
Jezebel
,
2.
Kings
9.36
.
yet
they
licked
the
sores
of
Lazarus
,
Luke
16.21
.
The
ravens
pick
out
the
eyes
of
those
that
are
disobedient
to
their
parents
,
Prov.
30.17
.
yet
they
fed
Elias
in
the
wildernesse
.
1.
Kings
17.6
.
The
serpents
stung
the
people
of
Israel
,
Num.
21.6
.
yet
the
viper
that
leaped
on
Pauls
hand
hurt
him
not
,
Acts
28.6
.
The
lions
that
devoured
Daniels
accusers
,
touched
not
him
,
Dan.
6.23
,
24.
And
still
there
are
some
reliques
of
God
left
in
man
which
make
the
beasts
to
stand
in
aw
of
him
:
For
first
,
they
cannot
do
that
harm
to
man
which
they
would
,
because
God
restrains
their
power
.
Secondly
,
they
do
not
offend
man
,
but
when
he
offends
God
.
Thirdly
,
the
nature
of
every
wild
beast
hath
been
tamed
by
the
nature
of
man
,
James
3.7
.
Fourthly
,
the
most
salvage
beasts
stand
in
fear
of
him
;
they
flie
his
company
;
they
shunne
his
arts
and
snares
;
they
fear
his
voice
and
shadow
.
When
man
goeth
to
rest
,
the
beasts
come
forth
to
hunt
their
prey
,
Psal.
104.20
.
Fifthly
,
they
serve
man
,
and
submit
themselves
to
his
will
.
The
Lion
will
crouch
to
his
keeper
:
the
Elephant
will
be
ruled
and
led
about
by
a
little
dwarf
:
the
Horse
yeelds
his
mouth
to
the
bridle
;
the
Ox
his
neck
to
the
yoke
;
the
Cow
her
dugs
to
our
hands
;
the
Sheep
her
wooll
to
the
shearers
.
He
can
now
stoop
the
Hawk
to
his
lure
,
send
the
Dog
on
his
errand
,
teach
one
fowl
to
fetch
him
another
,
one
beast
to
purvey
for
his
table
in
the
spoil
of
others
.
I
am
fallen
upon
a
subject
not
more
large
then
pleasant
;
&
híc

,
my
lines
could
here
more
easily
swell
into
a
volume
then
be
contracted
into
a
manual
.
Poteras

You
might
have
chosen
whether
you
would
have
lost
this
time
:
so
if
we
would
improve
our
most
precious
minutes
to
the
best
,
and
contemplate
on
this
great
school
of
the
world
,
where
men
are
the
scholars
,
and
the
creatures
the
characters
by
which
we
spell
,
and
put
together
that
nomen
majestativum
,
as
S.
Bernard
calls
it
,
that
great
and
excellent
name
of
God
,
we
should
find
that
there
is
no
creature
so
contemptible
but
may
justly
challenge
our
observation
,
and
teach
a
good
soul
one
step
towards
the
Creatour
.
There
is
not
any
so
little
a
Spider
which
coming
into
the
world
bringeth
not
with
it
its
rule
,
its
book
,
its
light
:
It
is
presently
instructed
in
what
it
should
do
.
The
Swallow
is
busie
in
her
masonrie
:
The
Bee
toyleth
all
day
in
her
innocent
theft
:
The
Pismires
,
—
quae
lumina
fallere
possunt
,
—
non
illud
opus
tenuissima
vincunt
Stamina
,
so
thin
that
the
eye
could
not
see
them
,
being
smaller
then
the
smallest
thread
:
So
the
smaller
the
creature
is
,
the
more
is
the
workmanship
of
God
to
be
admired
both
in
shaping
&
using
thereof
.
Our
God
is
as
cunning
and
artificiall
in
the
organicall
body
of
the
smallest
creature
of
the
world
as
of
the
greatest
:
And
what
application
we
may
make
thereof
,
I
shall
have
fair
occasion
given
me
again
to
treat
of
,
when
I
come
to
consider
the
Fowls
of
the
aire
,
and
the
Fish
of
the
sea
.
In
the
mean
time
having
selected
this
Psalme
for
my
meditations
on
Mans
Lordship
and
Sovereigntie
over
the
creatures
,
I
proceed
according
to
the
Prophets
method
;
and
from
his
Omnia
subjecisti
,
from
some
generalls
,
come
to
handle
some
particulars
:
and
,
as
he
hath
ranked
them
in
order
,
I
will
next
declare
how
the
Lord
hath
put
under
his
feet
all
Sheep
and
Oxen
,
and
the
beasts
of
the
field
.
SECT.
7.
THere
be
beasts
ad
esum
.
and
ad
usum
.
Some
of
them
are
profitable
alive
not
dead
;
as
the
Dog
,
&
Horse
,
serviceable
while
they
live
,
once
dead
they
are
thrown
out
for
carrion
.
Some
are
profitable
dead
not
alive
;
as
the
Hog
that
doth
mischief
while
he
lives
,
but
is
wholesome
food
dead
.
Some
are
profitable
both
alive
and
dead
;
as
the
Ox
that
draws
the
plough
,
the
Cow
that
gives
milk
,
while
they
live
;
&
when
they
are
killed
,
nourish
and
feed
us
with
their
flesh
:
Yet
none
of
them
is
so
profitable
as
that
quiet
,
innocent
,
harmlesse
creature
,
the
Sheep
:
Whose
every
part
is
good
for
something
;
the
wooll
for
raiment
,
the
skin
for
parchment
,
the
flesh
for
meat
,
the
guts
for
musick
.
In
Sacrifices
no
creature
so
frequently
offered
;
in
the
Sinne-offering
,
Peace-offering
,
Burnt-offering
,
Passeover
,
Sabbath-offering
;
and
especially
in
the
daily-offering
they
offered
a
Lambe
at
morning
,
and
a
Lambe
at
evening
,
Num.
28.
Lorinus
observeth
out
of
the
Fathers
,
Lorin.
in
Act.
Apost.
c.
8.
why
a
Lambe
was
so
continually
offered
;
namely
,
as
a
type
of
the
offering
of
Christ
:
who
in
eight
and
twenty
severall
places
of
the
Revelation
is
called
the
Lambe
of
God
.
For
the
name
of
Sheep
;
notatissima
est
dicendi
forma
,
saith
Bucer
:
in
the
34.
of
Ezekiel
,
the
Prophets
are
thirteen
times
called
Shepherds
,
and
the
people
one
and
twentie
times
called
Sheep
.
In
what
honour
the
name
,
function
and
person
of
Shepherds
hath
been
,
is
every-where
apparent
through
the
sacred
Scriptures
.
A
Shepherd
was
the
first
tradesman
,
though
the
second
sonne
of
all
the
children
of
Adam
.
A
Shepherds
life
,
saith
Philo
,
est
praeludium
ad
regnum
;
ideò
reges
olim
dicti
sunt
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
:
Of
which
phrase
Homer
and
other
Grecians
have
made
use
.
The
old
Testament
hath
none
in
more
esteem
then
Shepherds
.
Moses
,
that
kept
Jethro's
sheep
;
Jacob
,
that
kept
Labans
sheep
;
Amos
a
Prophet
,
taken
from
the
herd
;
Moses
a
Priest
and
a
Prophet
,
from
the
sheep
;
Elisha
the
Lords
Seer
(
and
you
know
whose
spirit
Elisha
had
)
yet
taken
from
the
cattel
;
David
the
Lords
Souldier
,
(
and
who
ever
got
such
victories
as
David
?
)
yet
fetched
from
the
fold
,
and
by
the
choyce
of
God
destined
to
the
Throne
.
When
he
had
lien
long
enough
close
among
his
flocks
in
the
field
of
Bethlehem
,
God
sees
a
time
to
send
him
to
the
pitched
field
of
Israel
,
where
at
his
first
appearance
in
the
list
with
that
insolent
uncircumcised
Philistine
,
whose
heart
was
as
high
as
his
head
,
he
takes
no
other
spear
but
his
staff
,
no
other
brigandine
but
his
shepherds
scrip
,
no
other
sword
but
his
sling
,
no
other
artillerie
but
what
the
brook
affords
,
five
smooth
small
peebles
;
and
yet
by
these
guided
by
an
invisible
hand
he
overcame
the
Giant
.
Afterwards
when
the
diademe
empaled
his
temples
,
his
thoughts
still
reflected
on
his
hook
and
harp
.
All
the
state
and
magnificence
of
a
Kingdome
could
not
put
his
mouth
out
of
taste
of
a
retired
simplicitie
.
As
a
Musician
often
toucheth
upon
the
sweetest
note
in
his
song
,
pavin
or
galliard
,
so
our
Kingly
Prophet
in
diverse
Psalmes
,
but
especially
in
his
three
and
twentieth
,
(
which
we
may
call
his
Bucolicon
)
hath
most
daintily
struck
upon
the
same
string
,
through
the
whole
hymn
:
There
have
you
Shepherd
,
sheep
,
green
fields
,
still
waters
,
wayes
,
pathes
,
valleyes
,
shadows
,
yea
the
rod
,
and
the
crook
.
But
more
then
all
this
;
God
the
Father
is
called
a
Shepherd
,
Psal.
80.1
.
God
the
Sonne
doth
name
himself
a
Shepherd
,
John
10.11
.
God
the
Holy
Ghost
is
named
a
Shepherd
and
Bishop
of
our
souls
,
1.
Pet.
2.25
.
These
very
terms
of
Shepherd
and
Sheep
have
led
me
farther
than
I
thought
besides
the
waters
of
comfort
.
The
night
hath
now
furled
up
her
sails
,
and
a
clear
thin
cloud
laden
onely
with
a
light
dew
besprinkleth
with
drops
the
whole
earth
,
like
pearls
,
which
sparkle
as
little
eyes
in
the
faces
of
the
flowers
and
plants
.
The
glorious
Sun
is
now
unlocking
the
doore
of
the
morning
to
run
his
race
.
The
winged
Choristers
of
heaven
do
now
begin
to
prune
and
pick
themselves
,
and
in
their
circling
turns
mount
and
soar
aloft
,
and
caroll
out
their
praises
to
God
,
as
rendring
their
dutifull
devotions
and
thanks
unto
him
who
hath
thus
reflected
the
beams
of
the
Sun
upon
them
:
Whose
sweet
Anthems
and
modulations
invite
mine
eare
to
listen
thereunto
,
and
after
some
pause
break
off
my
thoughts
from
the
beasts
of
the
field
,
and
direct
my
pen
to
write
somewhat
of
the
fowls
of
the
aire
.
SECT.

MY
meditations
are
now
on
wing
:
and
I
will
make
a
short
and
speedy
flight
through
the
volarie
of
the
open
aire
,
to
look
on
the
numberlesse
guests
which
it
conteineth
;
to
see
the
severall
fowls
of
all
shapes
,
colours
&
notes
,
whom
Nature
doth
so
willingly
and
bountifully
furnish
for
the
benefit
of
man
,
even
to
a
mirrour
of
delicacie
,
braverie
,
use
.
First
,
if
we
consider
profit
,
they
are
for
meat
.
Secondly
,
they
are
good
if
we
consider
pleasure
.
There
is
pleasure
in
the
taking
of
them
,
by
fowling
to
meaner
persons
,
and
by
hawking
to
Princes
and
the
better
sort
.
There
is
pleasure
in
them
to
the
Eye
;
when
the
navie
of
Tharshish
brought
unto
Solomon
gold
from
Ophir
,
there
●ame
also
besides
Apes
,
and
Parrats
and
Popin-jayes
,
(
as
some
have
probably
conjectured
)
and
the
starrie-trained
Peacocks
,
which
are
onely
birds
of
pleasure
;
whose
daintie-coloured
feathers
being
spread
against
the
Sunne
,
have
a
curious
lustre
,
and
look
like
gemms
:
The
wings
of
the
Peacock
are
pleasant
,
and
the
feathers
of
the
Ostrich
.
So
is
the
purpled
Pheasant
with
the
speckled
side
.
Our
Prophet
David
was
much
taken
with
the
colour
of
the
Dove
;
Pennae
columbae
deargentatae
,
her
feathers
are
silver-white
,
Psal.
68.13
.
And
three
severall
times
in
the
Canticles
doth
Solomon
set
forth
the
beautie
of
the
Spouse
,
oculos
columbinos
,
non
vulpinos
.
There
is
pleasure
in
them
to
the
eare
.
The
harmonie
of
instruments
is
but
devised
by
art
,
but
the
singing
and
chirping
of
birds
is
naturalis
musica
mundi
,
The
fowls
of
the
aire
do
sing
upon
the
branches
,
Psal.
104.12
.
How
doth
it
delight
us
to
heare
the
pretty
lyrick
Lark
,
the
Blackbird
,
the
Linnet
,
the
severall
kinds
of
Finches
,
the
mirthfull
Mavis
,
the
Wren
,
the
Thrush
,
&
Starling
,
&
all
the
shrill-mouth'd
quire
,
chant
forth
their
dulcid
polyphonian
notes
!
How
doth
the
Nightingale
(
which
the
Latines
call
Philomela
,
a
bird
that
loveth
to
sing
)
charm
our
senses
,
when
she
maketh
an
organ
of
her
throat
,
sometimes
breaking
her
notes
into
warbles
,
sometimes
stretching
them
out
at
length
!
Lastly
,
in
these
feathered
creatures
do
I
likewise
find
bonum
honestum
.
Many
rare
and
admirable

The
Dove
is
an
Hieroglyphick
of
unspotted
chastitie
,
Nescit
adulterii
flammam
intemerata
columba
.
Never
was
Dove
sick
of
a
lustfull
disease
,
but
so
loving
and
so
true
to
her
mate
,
that
(
I
will
deliver
it
from
a
better
pen
)
she
hath
given
life
to
a
Proverb
by
her
propertie
;
True
as
the
Turtle
,
is
the
highest
language
conjugall
love
can
speak
●n
.
The
nature
of
her
is
described
in
this
distich
,
Est
sine
felle
,
gemit
,
rostro
non
laedit
,
&
ungues
Possidet
innocuos
,
puráque
grana
leg
it
.
She
hath
no
malice
to
sowre
her
gall
,
to
dissweeten
her
temper
,
she
hurteth
not
with
her
bill
,
she
hath
harmlesse
claws
,
and
feedeth
on
pure
grain
.
Be
ye
innocent
as
Doves
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
:
A
word
derived
from
the
privative
particle
α
and
the
verb
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
or
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
signifying
simple
,
without
mixture
;
or
from
the
same
α
and
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
an
horn
;
and
then
it
implies
as
much
as
hurtlesse
or
harmlesse
.
Who
ever
saw
the
rough
foot
of
the
Dove
armed
with
griping
talons
?
who
ever
saw
the
beak
of
the
Dove
bloudie
?
who
ever
saw
that
innocent
bird
pluming
of
her
spoil
,
and
tiring
upon
bones
?
This
qualitie
is
so
eminent
in
the
Dove
,
that
our
Saviour
there
singled
it
out
for
an
hieroglyphick
of
Simplicity
.
Whence
it
was
questionlesse
,
that
God
of
all
fowls
chose
out
this
for
his
sacrifice
,
Sin
ex
aliqua
volucri
,
&c.
Levit.
1.14
.
And
before
the
law
Abraham
was
appointed
no
other
fowls
but
a
Turtle-dove
and
a
young
Pigeon
,
Gen.
15.9
.
Neither
did
the
holy
Virgin
offer
any
other
at
her
purifying
then
this
embleme
of
her self
and
her
blessed
Babe
.
Shortly
,
the
holy
Ghost
in
Scripture
is
resembled
to
a
Dove
,
and
appeared
in
the
shape
thereof
:
the
Devil
on
the
contrary
is
compared
to
Serpent
,
and
used
it
as
his
instrument
.
Illa
à
primordio
Divinae
pacis
praeco
;
The
dove
in
the
beginning
brought
an
olive-branch
,
and
preached
peace
unto
the
world
:
Ille
à
primordio
Divinae
imaginis
praedo
;
The
Serpent
in
the
beginning
played
the
thief
,
and
robbed
mankind
of
the
image
of
God
.
We
have
an
example
of
Mercie
in
the
Pelican
,
Pelican
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
from
smiting
or
piercing
,
in
regard
that
by
piercing
her
breast
she
reviveth
her
young
ones
,
after
they
have
been
killed
by
serpents
,
or
by
her
own
bill
.
The
brave
bird
which
the
Grecians
call
Onocrotalus
,
is
so
well
practiced
to
expect
the
Hawk
for
to
grapple
with
her
,
that
even
when
sleep
shutteth
her
eyes
,
she
sleepeth
with
her
bea●
exalted
,
as
if
she
would
contend
with
her
adversarie
.
Hence
may
we
have
the
quintessence
of
al●
wisdome
,
To
stand
upon
our
guard
,
and
daily
expect
death
;
it
being
〈◊〉
businesse
we
should
learn
all
our
life
,
to
exercise
i●
once
.
When
Moses
went
up
unto
God
,
Thus
shalt
thou
say
to
the
house
of
Jacob
,
and
tell
the
children
of
Israel
;
Ye
have
seen
what
I
did
unto
the
Egyptians
,
and
bow
I
bare
you
on
Eagles
wings
.
By
the
Eagles
some
there
understand
Moses
and
Aaron
,
the
two
guides
that
led
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
Egypt
;
&
will
have
them
compared
thereunto
propter
acumen
intelligentiae
&
altitudinem
vitae
,
by
reason
of
their
piercing
judgement
and
holy
life
.
They
indeed
were
,
as
Chrysostome
saith
,
mollissimae
pennae
misericordiae
Divinae
,
Gorran
in
his
Exposition
of
Saint
Lukes
Gospel
,
cap.

v.

saith
,
First
,
Calvitie
peccatorum
.
For
as
the
Eagles
moult
off
their
feathers
,
and
so
become
bald
,
so
the
Saints
pluck
off
their
sick
feathers
from
their
soul
;
they
circumcise
the
old
man
with
the
lusts
thereof
,
and
weed
out
sinne
by
the
roots
.
The
Prophet
Micah
exhorting
the
people
to
repentance
,
bids
them
to
inlarge
their
baldnesse
like
the
Eagle
,
Micah
1.16
.
Mary
Magdalene
did
more
then
cast
her
feathers
,
when
she
converted
her
eyes
,
her
hairs
,
her
lips
,
feathers
of
wantonnesse
,
into
pledges
of
repentance
.
She
had
been
parched
with
sinne
and
the
heat
of
concupiscence
,
fleur
de
lis
,
The
second
resemblance
is
in
renovatione
novi
hominis
,
in
their
new
birth
:
Who
reneweth
thy
youth
like
unto
the
Eagle
,
Psal.
103.5
.
The
Eagle
by
casting
her
beak
,
and
breaking
her
bill
upon
a
stone
,
receives
a
new
youthfulnesse
in
her
age
.
This
rock
is
Christ
,
upon
which
the
Saints
break
their
hearts
by
repentance
.
Paul
had
cast
his
bill
and
his
feathers
when
he
said
,
Now
I
live
not
,
but
it
is
Christ
that
liveth
in
me
,
Gal.
2.20
.
Extinctus
fuit
saevus
persecutor
,
&
vivere
coepit
pius
praedicator
,
saith
Gregorie
.
The
third
resemblance
is
in
volatûs
elevatione
,
in
their
loftie
flight
.
Doth
not
the
Eagle
mount
up
,
and
make
her
nest
on
high
?
Job
39.27
.
So
it
is
with
the
Saints
:
As
their
conversation
,
so
their
contemplation
is
as
high
as
Heaven
.
Such
elevations
had
our
Prophet
David
,
Psal.
25.1
.
&
Psal.
121.1
.
Such
an
Eagle
was
Saint
Paul
,
qui
in
terra
positus
,
à
terra
extraneus
:
He
lived
here
,
yet
a
stranger
while
he
lived
here
.
Of
all
fowls
,
saith
Munster
,
the
Eagle
onely
moves
herself
straight
upward
and
downward
perpendicularly
without
any
collaterall
declination
.
By
her
playing
with
thunderbolts
,
and
confronting
that
part
of
heaven
where
lightnings
,
and
storms
,
and
tempests
most
reigne
,
she
teacheth
great
and
couragious
spirits
how
to
encounter
all
disasters
.
And
by
beating
her
wings
on
high
,
we
are
taught
Sursum
corda
,
The
fourth
is
in
visionis
claritate
,
in
the
clearnesse
of
vision
.
Saint
Augustine
writeth
of
the
Eagle
,
that
being
aloft
in
the
clouds
she
can
discern
sub
frutice
leporem
,
sub
fluctibus
piscem
,
under
the
shrub
an
hare
,
under
the
waves
a
fish
:
So
the
faithfull
being
Eagle-eyed
,
The
last
is
in
viae
occultatione
,
in
the
secrecy
of
their
way
.
One
of
those
things
which
the
Wise
man
admired
at
,
was
the
way
of
an
Eagle
in
the
aire
,
Prov.
30.19
.
See
them
flie
we
may
,
but
their
wayes
and
subtle
passages
we
cannot
discern
:
So
the
Saints
good
works
are
seen
of
men
,
but
their
intentions
with
what
mind
they
do
them
are
not
discoverable
.
I
have
the
longer
insisted
on
this
princely
bird
,
the
Eagle
,
because
among
all
other
birds
is
ascribed
to
her
maximus
honos
&
maxima
vis
;
and
in
the
Scriptures
are
grounded
many
proverbs
and
similes
upon
the
strength
and
length
of
her
wing
,
upon
her
lofty
flight
,
and
sharp
sight
.
It
were
infinite
to
follow
the
Allegorists
in
moralizing
her
qualities
:
and
to
trace
Plinie
or
Aelian
for
the
varietie
of
Eagles
,
were
a
course
easie
,
but
a
discourse
tedious
.
It
would
likwise
in
my
poor
conceit
,
something
savour
of
his
spice
of
pride
that
numbred
his
people
,
to
reckon
and
heap
up
all
that
I
have
read
on
this
argument
.
I
have
already
shewed
what
excellent
lessons
the
Bee
,
the
Swallow
,
and
diverse
other
birds
do
read
unto
us
,
3.
and
I
must
not
per
eandem
lineam
serram
reciprocare
,
draw
my
saw
the
same
way
back
again
.
I
discharge
this
point
:
The
next
that
attendeth
our
consideration
is
the
other
part
of
Gods
work
,
on
the
fifth
day
,
which
I
may
call
his
Water-work
:
And
so
I
take
into
my
thoughts
the
fish
of
the
sea
,
and
whatsoever
walketh
through
the
paths
thereof
.

So
may
I

of

that
go
down
into
the
sea
in
ships
,
On
every
side
,
which
way
soever
they
look
,
they
see
the
works
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
wonders
in
the
deep
,
Psal.
107.23
.
Again
,
it
is
wonderfull
in
the
numberlesse
number
of
Creatures
which
it
containeth
.
This
one
word
FIAT
hath
made
such
infinite
numbers
of
fishes
,
that
their
names
may
make
a
Dictionarie
,
and
yet
we
shall
not
know
them
all
.
First
,
for
the
profunditie
of
the
sea
,
(
which
is
the
distance
between
the
bottom
and
superficies
of
the
waters
)
it
is
of
that
immensitie
that
in
many
places
no
line
can
touch
it
.
The
common
received
opinion
that
the
depth
of
it
being
measured
by
a
plummet
seldome
exceeds
two
or
three
miles
,
is
not
to
be
understood
(
saith
Breerwood
a
worthy
writer
)
of
the
sea
in
generall
,
but
onely
of
the
depth
of
the
Straits
or
narrow
seas
,
which
were
perhaps
searched
by
the
Ancients
,
who
dwelt
far
from
the
main
Ocean
.
For
the
site
and
bounds
of
it
,
Thou
coverest
it
with
the
deep
as
with
a
garment
,
saith
the
Psalme
.
As
a
vesture
in
the
proper
use
of
it
is
above
the
body
that
is
clothed
therewith
,
so
is
the
sea
above
the
land
.
And
such
a
garment
,
saith
one
,
would
it
have
been
unto
the
earth
,
but
for
the
providence
of
God
towards
us
,
as
the
shirt
that
was
made
for
the
murdering
of
Agamemnon
,
where
he
had
no
issue
out
.
Therefore
the
Psalmist
addeth
immediatly
,
At
thy
rebuke
they
fled
:
at
the
voice
of
thy
thunder
they
hasted
away
.
They
go
up
by
the
mountains
,
they
go
down
by
the
valleys
unto
the
place
which
thou
hast
founded
for
them
.
Thou
hast
set
a
bound
that
they
may
not
passe
over
;
that
they
turn
not
again
to
cover
the
earth
.
Though
that
fluid
Element
is
alwayes
running
and
often
roring
as
if
it
would
swallow
up
the
earth
,
though
this
untamed
beast
be
unresistable
by
the
power
of
man
,
yet
is
it
ruled
like
a
child
by
the
power
of
God
:
The
sea
is
his
and
he
made
it
,
Psal.
95.5
.
He
stilleth
the
raging
of
the
sea
and
the
noise
of
the
waves
,
Psal.
65.7
.
He
hath
shut
up
the
sea
with

He
hath
established
his

upon

will
I
stay

proud

All
which
is
an
argument
demonstrative
of
Gods
power
and
providence
,
who
as
he
brought

out

darknesse

hath

wonderfull
for
its
motion
:
Why
it
moveth
forward
,
why
it
retireth
,
is
to
us
above
all
reason
wonderfull
.
That
such
a
motion
there
is
,
experience
sheweth
;
but
the
searching
out
of
the
cause
of
it
,
is
one
of
the
greatest
difficulties
in
all
naturall
Philosophie
.
a
lover

universalities

secondly
,
that
he
was

{non-Roman}

{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}

a

lastly
and

{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}

,
a

Yet
this
Genius

Secretarie
of
Nature
,
this
acute
Philosopher
,
this
prince
of
Philosophers
,
is
reported
to
have
stood
amazed
at
the
flowing
and
ebbing
of
Euripus
,
and
despairing
of
finding
out
the
cause
thereof
,
cast
himself
into
the
river
,
and
was
comprised
of
that
he
could
not
comprehend
.
What
Aristotles
opinion
was
concerning
this
matter
is
an
uncertain
conjecture
,
for
as
much
as
little
or
nothing
can
be
gathered
touching
this
out
of
any
boo●
which
is
certainly
known
to
be

for
the

of
the
propriety
of

judged
to
be
none
of
his
,
but
of
some
later
Authour
.

is

at

judiciously
discussed

Thirdly
,
Concerning
the
originall
of
shipping
,
I
find
it
to
be
Gods
own
invention
.
If
God
had
not
said
to
Noah
,
Fac
tibi
arcam
;
and
when
he
had
said
so
,
if
he
had
not
given
him
a
designe
,
a
module
,
a
platform
of
the
Ark
,
we
may
doubt
whether
ever
man
would
have
thought
of
a
means
to
passe
from
nation
to
nation
,
of
a
ship
or
any
such
way
of
trade
and
commerce
.
This
Ark
resting
afterwards
on
the
mountain
of
Ararat
,
gave
a
precedent
to
other
nations
neare-bordering
how
ships
were
to
be
framed
.
Thus
Navigation
first
taught
by
Almighty
God
,
was
afterwards
seconded
by
the
industrie
of
famous
men
in
all
ages
.
For
the
use
and
commodity
of
Navigation
may
be
produced
many
arguments
.
Again
,
Sea-traffick
and
Merchandizing
is
of
that
excellent
use
,
that
the
state
of
the
world
cannot
subsist
without
it
.
Not
the
Lyon
and
the
Unicorn
,
but
the
Plough
and
the
Ship
under
God
are
the
supporters
of
a
Crown
.
Non

No

of

There
must
be
a
path
from
Egypt
to
Asshur
,
and
from
Asshur
to
Egypt
again
,
to
make
a
supply
of
their
mutuall
wants
.
Mesha
the
king
of
Moab
was
a
king
of
sheep
;
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
had
store
of
timber
and
workmen
:
Ophir
was
famous
for
gold
,
Chittim
for
ivorie
,
Basan
for
oaks
,
Lebanon
for
cedars
,
Saba
for
frankincense
.
We
have
our
gold
from
India
,
our
spices
from
Arabia
,
our
silks
from
Spain
,
our
wines
from
France
.
And
thus
by
the
goodnesse
and
wisdome
of
God
is
one
Countrey
the
helper
and
mutuall
supporter
of
anothers
welfare
.
He
maketh
one
the
Granarie
,
to
furnish
her
neighbours
with
corn
;
another
the
Armourie
,
to
furnish
the
rest
with
weapons
;
another
the
Piscarie
,
to
furnish
the
rest
with
fish
;
another
the
Treasurie
,
to
furnish
the
rest
with
gold
.
By
this
is
the
Merchant
the
key
of
the
land
,
the
treasurer
of
the
kingdome
,
the
venter
of
his
soils
surplussage
,
the
combiner
of
nations
,
and
the
adamantine
chain
of
Countreys
.
The
sea
and
the
earth
,
saith
a
learned
Prelate
,
are
the
great
coffers
of
God
;
the
discoveries
of
navigation
are
the
keys
,
which
whosoever
hath
received
may
know
that
he
is
freely
allowed
to
unlock
these
chests
of
Nature
without
any
need
to
pick
the
wards
.
Here
could
I
spread
my
meditations
,
and
train
on
my
Reader
with
delight
:
but
my
principall
aim
is
,
to
shew
how
wonderfull
the
Sea
is
in
the
great
varietie
and
abundance
of
Creatures
that
live
and
move
within
this
wombe
of
moisture
.
Almighty
God
hath
so
richly
sown
the
great
and
boisterous
element
of
waters
with
the
spawn
of
all
sorts
of
fish
which
so
innumerably
multiply
,
and
hath
crowned
the
deeps
with
such
abundance
,
that
the
Sea
contendeth
with
the
Earth
for
plentie
,
variety
,
and
delicacy
.
The
Breed
of
it
is
yeelded
to
be
full
of
wonder
.
As
there
is
miraculum
in
nodo
,
a
wonder
in
the
knitting
of
those
two
elements
of
Water
and
Earth
in
one
sphericall
and
round
bodie
;
so
is
there
miraculum
in
modo
,
Murex
,
giveth
our
Purples
,
the
most
sumptuous
and
delightfull
colours
:
Nor
is
Fishing
it self
lesse
delightfull
to
them
that
use
it
then
Hunting
and
Hawking
are
to
others
.
They
are
indeed
Princely
disports
,
&
studium
Nobilium
,
the
study
,
the
exercise
,
the
ordinary
businesse
of
many
great
Ones
;
yet
much
riding
,
many
dangers
accompany
them
:
hilares
venandi
labores
,
&c.
whereas
fishing
,
which
is
a
kind
of
hunting
by
water
,
be
it
with
nets
,
weels
,
bait
,
angling
or
otherwise
,
is
still
and
quiet
.
And
if
so
be
the
Angler
catch
no
fish
,
yet
hath
he
a
wholesome
walk
Among
the
curled
woods
and
painted
meads
Through
which
a
silver-serpent
river
leads
To
some
cool
courteous
shade
.
—
He
whiffes
the
dainties
of
the
fragrant
fields
;
he
sucketh
in
the
breath
of
fine
fresh
meadow-flowers
,
which
(
like
the
warbling
of
musick
)
is
sweetest
in
the
open
aire
where
it
cometh
and
goeth
;
he
heareth
the
melodious
harmony
of
birds
,
a
quire
whereof
each
tree
enterteineth
at
Natures
charge
;
he
sees
the
Swans
,
Herons
,
Ducks
,
Water-hens
,
Coots
,
and
many
other
fowl
,
with
their
brood
;
which
he
thinketh
better
then
the
noise
of
Hounds
▪
or
blast
of
Horns
,
or
all
the
sport
that
they
can
make
.
This
is
true
of
those
that
use
fishing
for
recreation
:
But
what
shall
we
say
of
the
poore
stipendiarie
fishermen
,
qui
cruribus
ocreati
,
who
booted
up
to
the
very
groins
,
toil
and
take
much
pains
for
a
little
pay
?
Certainly
God
crowneth
their
labour
with
a
sweet
repose
,
and
their
diet
is
more
wholesom
&
nourishing
;
whereas
surfets
light
frequently
on
the
rich
,
and
the
gentle
bloud
groweth
quickly
foul
:
The
bread
of
him
that
laboureth
(
as
Solomon
saith
of
his
sleep
)
is
sweet
and
relishable
,
Sicelides
;
Happie
,
happie
fisher-swains
,
If
that
you
knew
your
happines
Your
sports
taste
sweeter
by
your
pains
,
Sure
hope
your
labour
relishes
:
Your
net
your
living
:
whe●
you
eat
,
Labour
finds
appetite
and
meat
.
When
the
seas
and
tempests
rore
,
You
either
sleep
,
or
pipe
,
or
play
,
And
dance
along
the
golden
shore
,
Thus
you
spend
the
night
&
day
:
Shrill
wind
's
a
pipe
,
hoarse
sea
's
a
taber
,
To
fit
your
sports
or
ease
your
labour
.
Moreover
,
by
fishing
and
using
themselves
thereto
men
are
enabled
to
do
service
for
their
countrey
:
Reuben
abode
among
the
sheep-folds
to
heare
the
bleating
of
the
flocks
,
when
Gilead
did
stay
beyond
Jordan
,
and
Issachar
took
his
rest
in
his
tents
,
then
the
people
of
Zebulun
did
jeopard
their
lives
unto
death
in
the
field
against
Sisera
.
Zebulun
is
a
tribe
of
account
,
as
well
as
Judah
,
Benjamin
,
and
Nepthali
,
Psal.
68.27
.
Moses
by
a
spirit
of
prophesie
,
(
as
likewise
remembring
what
old
Israel
had
prophesied
of
this
sonne
and
his
posteritie
,
Zebulun
shall
dwell
by
the
sea-side
;
he
shall
be
an
haven
for
ships
,
Gen.
49.13
.
)
breathed
but
this
propheticall
patheticall
dying
farewell
,
They
shall
suck
of
the
abundance
of
the
seas
,
and
of
the
treasures
hid
in
the
sands
,
Deut.
33.19
.
And
here
doth
fall
into
our
contemplation
the
Bonum
utile
,
the
great
benefit
,
commoditie
and
profit
that
we
reap
from
the
Sea
:
Which
according
to
our
English
proverb
,
is
a
good
neighbour
,
in
that
it
yeelds
such
store
of
fish
whereby
the
inhabitants
may
be
nourished
,
and
other
creatures
the
better
preserved
.
For
Abrahams
servant
to
fetch
a
calf
from
the
stalls
,
Jacob
to
bring
a
kid
from
the
fold
,
Esau●
to
bring
venison
from
the
field
,
doth
not
so
much
expresse
how
God
filleth
us
with
plenteousnesse
,
as
the
unseen
prey
which
the
fisherman
bringeth
from
the
sea
.
Who
can
number
the
sand
of
the
sea
?
saith
the
sonne
of
Sirach
,
Ecclus
1.2
.
nay
,
what
man
is
able
to
number
the
fish
of
the
sea
?
which
are
so
many
that
the
Patriarch
Jacob
prayed
that
Josephs
children
might
encrease
like
the
fish
,
Gen.
48.16
.
In
the
great
and
wide
sea
,
saith
our
Prophet
,
are
things
creeping
innumerable
,
both
small
and
great
,
Psal.
104.25
.
In
the
creation
God
said
,
Let
the
waters
bring
forth
in
abundance
every
creeping
thing
that
hath
the
soul
of
life
,
Gen.
1.20
.
Howbeit
in
all
that
abundance
,
as
it
is
observed
,
there
is
nothing
specified
but
the
Whale
,
as
being
the
Prince
of
the
rest
,
and
,
to
use
the
phrase
of
Job
,
king
of
all
the
children
of
pride
.
Wherein
the
workmanship
of
the
Maker
is
most
admirable
:
for
it
is
said
,
Then
God
created
the
whales
;
and
not
singly
,
the
whales
,
but
with
an
additament
,
the
great
whales
.
So
doth
the
Poet
term
them
immania
cete
,
huge
whales
,
as
being
the
stateliest
creatures
that
move
in
the
waters
.
God
made
the
whale
,
saith
a
Father
,
to
be
vectem
maris
,
the
barre
of
the
sea
:
He
,
like
the
Serpent
in
the
Revelation
,
casteth
out
of
his
mouth
water
like
a
floud
,
—
this
monstrous
whirle-about
into
the
sea
another
sea
doth
spout
.
In
creating
of
them
creavit
Deus
vastitates
&
stupores
.
2.
For
,
as
Plinie
writeth
of
them
,
when
they
swim
and
shew
themselves
above
water
,
annare
insulas
putes
,
you
would
think
that
Islands
swam
towards
you
,
and
that
great
hills
did
aspire
to
heaven
it self
with
their
tops
.
The
greatnesse
and
strength
of
a
whale
in
a
most
elegant
narration
is
expressed
by
Job
,
which
for
acutenes
,
vigour
and
majestie
of
style
doth
farre
exceed
what
ever
we
can
fetch
from
the
schools
of
Rhetoricians
:
He
beginneth
it
at
his
first
verse
of
his
40
chap.
and
so
to
the
end
,
where
he
leaveth
it
●s
an
Epilogue
of
Gods
great
work
.
This
Emperour
of
the
Ocean
,
this
unequald
wonder
of
the
deep
,
this
balaena
,
the
great
whale
(
for
so
Tremellius
translateth
Leviathan
in
that
passage
of
Job
)
is
very
profitable
to
the
Merchant
,
for
its
oyl
,
bones
,
and
ribs
.
In
Isleland
,
as
Munster
writeth
,
of
the
ribs
and
bones
of
the
biggest
whale
many
make
posts
and
sparres
for
the
building
of
their
houses
.
I
will
land
this
point
with
an
observation
of
such
fish
as
are
for
the
food
and
sustentation
of
man
.
I
never
find
that
Christ
enterteined
any
guests
but
twice
,
and
that
was
onely
with
loaves
and
fishes
.
I
find
him
sometimes
feasted
by
others
more
liberally
:
but
his
domestick
fare
,
for
the
most
part
,
except
a●
the
Passeover
,
was
fish
▪
He
that
chose
but
twelve
Apostles
out
of
the
whole
world
,
took
foure
of
those
twelve
that
were
by
profession
Fishermen
●
as
,
Simon
Peter
,
and
Andrew
his
brother
;
and
the
two
sonnes
of
Zebedee
,
James
and
John
.
And
the
ancient
Fathers
observe
,
that
our
Saviour
did
expresse
himself
to
the
Sea-tribe
more
than
to
any
of
the
rest
:
For
he
was
conceived
at
Nazareth
a
citie
in
the
portion
of
Zebulun
,
and
in
that
citie
was
he
brought
up
,
and
began
to
preach
first
there
;
and
mount
Tabor
,
upon
which
he
was
transfigured
,
was
in
the
tribe
of
Zebulun
also
.
With
the
Hebrews
the
same
word
doth
signifie
a
pond
or
a
fish-pool
which
is
used
for
a
blessing
.
And
surely
it
is
a
blessing
to
any
countrey
,
among
other
commodities
which
enrich
a
kingdome
,
to
have
the
benefits
of
fish-ponds
and
sluces
;
in
which
commodious
stews
men
may
preserve
the
fishes
which
they
take
,
and
sell
them
for
advantage
and
gain
.
The
Prophet
Isaiah
foreseeing
the
destruction
of
Egypt
saith
,
The
waters
shall
fail
from
the
sea
,
and
the
river
shall
be
wasted
and
dried
up
:
And
they
shall
turn
the
rivers
farre
away
,
and
the
brooks
of
defense
shall
be
emptied
and
dried
up
;
the
reeds
and
flags
shall
wither
.
The
fishes
shall
mourn
,
and
all
they
that
cast
angle
into
the
brooks
shall
lament
,
and
they
that
spreade
their
net
upon
the
waters
shall
b●
weakned
.
And
we
find
that
among
other
plague●
of
Egypt
this
was
one
,
That
their
fish
,
the
chief
part
of
their
sustenance
,
died
with
infection
:
and
their
Nilus
did
not
onely
yeeld
them
a
dead
but
a
living
annoyance
;
it
did
never
before
so
store
them
with
fish
,
as
it
did
then
plague
them
with
frogs
.
If
it
be
such
a
curse
to
be
deprived
of
so
great
a
blessing
,
what
a
blessing
it
is
not
to
know
such
a
curse
!
To
descend
to
the
particulars
:
Among
this
scaly
footlesse
nation
,
I
likewise
find
Bonum
honestum
:
For
from
them
we
may
draw
symbola
virtutum
quae
imitemur
,
many
exquisite
emblemes
for
our
instruction
.
If
I
may
but
touch
the
hemme
of
his
garment
,
I
shall
be
safe
.
That
she
supposed
to
find
more
sanctitie
in
the
touch
of
the
hemme
then
of
the
coat
,
I
neither
dispute
,
nor
beleeve
.
Hall
.
But
what
said
she
?
If
I
may
but
touch
,
a
weak
action
;
the
hemme
of
his
garment
,
the
remotest
part
;
with
a
trembling
hand
,
a
feeble
apprehension
.
Here
was
the
praise
of
this
womans
faith
,
that
she
promised
her self
remedy
by
the
touch
of
the
outmost
hemme
.

THus
have
I
made
a
brief
circuit
over
the
whole
earth
,
and
a
short
cut
over
the
vast
Sea
:
And
now
before
I
put
my
ship
into
the
creek
,
before
I
conclude
,
I
must
draw
these
scattered
branches
home
to
their
root
again
.
The
generall
substance
of
them
all
together
is
this
;
As
it
is
a
most
pleasant
kind
of
Geographie
,
in
this
large
mappe
of
the
World
,
in
the
celestiall
and
terrestriall
Globe
,
to
contemplate
the
Creatour
;
so
there
is
nothing
that
obteineth
more
of
God
,
then
a
thankfull
agnition
of
the
favours
and
benefits
we
daily
receive
at
his
bountifull
hands
.
If
we
be
not
behind
with
him
in
this
tribute
of
our
lips
,
he
will
see
that
all
creatures
in
heaven
and

shall
pay
their
severall
tributes
unto
us
;
the
Sun
his
heat
,
the
Moon
her
light
,
the
Starres
their
influence
,
the
Clouds
their
moisture
,
the
Sea
and
Rivers
their
fish
,
the
Land
her
fruits
,
the
Mine
their
treasures
,
and
al●
things
living
their
homage
and
service
.
O●
the
contrary
;
If
the
familiaritie
of
Gods
blessings
draw
them
into
neglect
,
he
will
have
a●
just
quarrel
against
us
for
our
unthankfulnesse
;
and
our
ingratitude
(
which
is
a
monster
in
nature
,
a
soloecisme
in
maners
,
a
paradox
in
Divinitie
)
will
prove
a
parching
wind
to
damme
up
the
fountain
of
his
favours
toward
us
.
Accipe
,
Redde
,
●ave
.
Accipe
;
Take
us
to
thy
●se
and
service
.
I
Heaven
●m
bid
to
give
thee
rain
;
I
Sunne
,
to
give
thee
light
;
●
Bread
,
to
strengthen
thy
●ody
;
I
Wine
,
to
chear
thy
heart
;
We
Oxen
leave
our
pastures
,
we
Lambes
our
mothers
,
to
do
thee
service
.
Redde
;
Remember
to
be
thankfull
.
He
that
giveth
all
,
commandeth
thee
to
return
him
somewhat
.
It
is
hard
if
thou
canst
not
thank
the
great
Housekeeper
of
the
world
for
thy
good
chear
:
This
is
the
easi●
task
and
impositio●
which
the
supreme
Lord
of
all
layeth
upon
all
the
goods
thou
possessest
&
on
all
the
blessings
of
this
life
:
—
Minimo

Cave
;
Beware
of
abusing
us
.
The
Beasts
of
the
field
do
crie
,
Do
not
kill
us
for
wantonnesse
;
the
Fowls
of
the
aire
,
Do
not
riot
with
us
;
the
Wine
,
Devoure
not
me
to
disable
thy self
:
The
Howers
,
which
ever
had
wings
,
will
flie
up
to
heaven
to
the
Authour
of
Time
,
and
carrie
news
of
thy
usage
toward
us
.
And
now
,
Manum
è
●abula
:
I
have
finished
my
meditations
on
this
Psalme
,
wishing
I
could
have
had
S.
Ambrose
his
facultie
,
qui
in
Psalmis
Davidis
explicandis
ejus
lyram
&
plectrum
mutuatus
,
who
in
the
expression
of
Davids
psalms
is
said
to
have
borrowed
Davids
own
harp
:
so
rightly
did
he
expresse
his
meaning
.
But
my
fear
is
,
that
I
have
muddled
and
made
this
Topaz
but
so
much
the
darker
by
going
about
to
polish
it
.
To
end
as
I
began
,
with
the
commendation
of
the
book
of
Psalmes
;
Est
certè
non
magnus
,
verùm
aureolus
,
&
ad
verbum
ediscendus
libellus
;
The
Psalter
is
not
a
great
but
a
golden
book
and
throughly
to
be
learned
.
This
method
our
Prophet
observeth
in
this
excellent
hymn
;
The
Proposition
and
Conclusion
thereof
are
both
the
same
;
carceres
&
meta
,
the
head
and
the
foot
,
as
i●
were
the
voice
and
the
echo
:
The
whole
psalm
being
circular
,
annular
▪
serpentine
,
winding
into
i●
self
again
,
as
it
beginneth
so
it
endeth
,
O
LORD
our
Governour
,
how
excellent
is
thy
name
in
all
the
world
!
FINIS
.
