And
Iesus
went
into
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
east
out
all
them
that
sold
and
bought
in
the
Temple
&
ouerthrew
the
Tables
of
the
money-changers
,
and
the
seates
of
them
that
sold
doues
:
And
said
to
them
;
it
is
written
,
mine
house
shall
be
called
the
house
of
prayer
:
but
yea
haue
made
it

IT
is
affirmed
by
them
that
haue
best
laboured
,
and
euen
spent
their
spirites
to
discouer
the
profound
mysteries
of
the
holy
scriptures
,
that
the
text

,
the
webbe
of
it
,
is
so
cunningly
and
so
skilfully
wouen
by
the
holy
spirit
of
God
,
that
it
is
,
omnibus
accessibilis
,
but
paucissimis
penetrabilis
;
Wherefore
(
right
Honourable
,
&c.
)
it
is
not
to
bee
expected
at
my
handes
,
that
in
this
short
time
,
limited
to
the
measure
of
my
strength
and
your
patience
,
I
should
deliuer
vnto
you
whatsoeuer
is
noteable
or
noted
alreadie
by
so
many
reuerend
and
learned
Fathers
(
old

of

litterall

morall
,
or
allegoricall
sense
of
this
scripture
;
nor
to
make
application
according
to
the
variety
and

of
sense
,
which
the
spirit
of
God
hath
imparted
to

most
reuerend

:
for
I
doe
not
presume
to
speake
that
quod

esset
;
which
is
indeed
most
fitte
to
bee
spoken
;
seeing
it
is
a

,
and
aboue

and

Now
in
this
Author
of
this
reformation
,
That
it
was
performed
by
our
Sauiour
who
was
King
and
Priest
,
it
argueth
how
conuenient
the
counsell
and
knowledge
of
the
Priest
is
,
for
the
ciuill
magistrate
in
reforming
the
Temple
:
for
as
the
Priest
may
attempt
nothing
,
no
alteration
without
the
prince
(
and
therefore
Saint
Paul
when
hee
came
to
Athens
,
though
hee
saw
Idols
and
Altars
,
GOD
which
they
knew
not
;
and
though
hee
saw
Idols
and
Idolatry
in
the
Temple
of
Diana
,
yet
hee
offered
no
violence
;
they
were
not
Gods
that
were
made
with
handes
;
and
pulled
not
downe
the
signe
of
Castor
and
Pollux
in
the
shippe
of
Alexandria
that
carryed
him
to
Rome
:
holy
,
harmelesse
&
vndefiled
;
who
did
noe
sin
,
as
Saint
Peter
saith
,
who
knew
no
sinne
,
as
Saint
Paul
saith
;
who
hadde
no
sinne
in
him
,
as
Saint
Iohn
saith
;
and
therefore
might
safely
say
,
which
of
you
can
rebuke
me
of
sinne
?
It
argueth
that
they
which
are
reformers
of
Churches
,
yea
and
of
Common-wealths
,
should
be
holy
,
harmelesse
,
vndefiled
,
and
vncorrupt
,
as
much
as
may
bee
,
least
vnder
the
colour
of
reformation
they
bring
in
a
deformation
,
and
where
they
bee
chosen
to
bee
Rephaims
,
Valerius

Valerius
Flaccus
,
shoulde
come
,
and
take
away
both
their
place
and
their
nation
;
with
a
faire
glosse
and
pretence
to
maintaine
the
priuiledges
of
the
people
,
or
the
authority
of
the
Senate
,
as
amongst
the
Romaines
,

euery

emendandi
,
id

disperdendi

as
Pliny
saith
,
of
reforming
that
is
deforming
a
state
:
whereas
if
they
bee
holy
,
and
iust
,
and
incorrupt
,
as
our
Sauiour
Christ
was
,
I
say
not
in
essence
,
but
in
imitation
:
For
the
Time
if
we
consider
it
,
in
respect
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
as
in
what
time
of
his
life
it
was
done
,
the
first
and
the
chiefest
thing
is
,
the
regard
of
establishing
or
reforming
of
religion
,
Polit.

and
the
Church
of
God
:
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
with
the
like
action
he
began
his
office
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Saint
Iohns
Gospell
,
where
also
with
a
whip
of
little
cordes
,
presently
after
his
first
miracle
,
at
his
first
comming
to
the
Temple
,
in
die
palmarum
,
that
is
in
this
place
;
and
thirdly
when
hee
returned
out
of
Bethania
,
true
seruants
of
God
,
they
would
giue
the
King
his
honor
.
If
wee
consider
the
time
in
respect
of
the
season
of
the
yeare
,
or
according
to
the
diuision
of
dayes
,
which
the
wise
man
maketh
,
where
some
dayes
are
sayd
to
bee
chosen
and
sanctified
,
Easter
,
Pentecost
,
and
the
Tabernacles
.
Now
it
is
probable
that
to
the
imitation
of
this
,
it
was
prouided
in
former
and
ancient
times
of
Christianitie
,
as
appeareth
in
Concilio
Agathensi
Can.
18.
Natiuitie
,
Easter
,
and
Pentecost
:
and
although
a
dispensation
were
admitted
sometimes
at
two
of
these
feasts
,
yet
at
Easter
(
no
remedie
)
all
should
receiue
.
Which
kinde
of
imitation
of
some
ceremonies
of
the
old
law
,
obserued
by
antiquity
,
I
cannot
condemne
:
For
although
old
thinges
are
passed
away
,
yet
behold
new
thinges
are
come
in
their
place
.
according
to
the
example
or
patterne
that
was
shewed
him
in
the
mount
;
that
is
according
to
the
example
of
the
old
law
:
(
for
we
refuse
the
carnall
obseruations
of
the
law
,
and
such
types
and
figures
as
represent
our
Sauiours
comming
in
the
flesh
,
or
those
benefits
and
blessings
which
were
proper
and
peculiar
vnto
the
Iewes
)
yet
as
the
Iewes
had
a
King
,
though
their
kingdome
be
now
abolished
;
so
we
haue
a
new
King
,
Vbi
est
qui
natus
est
rex
Iudaeorum
?
new
Testament
:
new
Spirit
;
I
will
giue
vnto
you
a
new
heart
and
a
new
Spirit
:
new
Commaundement
;
A
new
Commaundement
Giue
I
vnto
you
:
I
saw
a
new
heauen
and
a
new
earth
:
and
as
they
had
their
Temple
,
so
we
haue
our
Churches
:
and
as
they
had
their
Sacraments
,
so
we
haue
our
Sacraments
:
and
as
they
had
their
Sabboth
,
so
wee
haue
our
Sunday
:
And
as
they
had
their
Feastes
,
so
wee
haue
our
Feastes
and
new
Holydaies
,
to
put
vs
in
minde
of
those
blessings
we
haue
receiued
of
the
bounty
of
God
:
one
feast
to
remember
his
Natiuity
,
another
to
put
vs
in
minde
of
his
Passion
,
another
of
his
Resurrection
,
another
of
his
Ascention
,
another
of
other
spirituall
blessinges
,
either
performed
to
vs
by
our
Sauiour
Christ
or
his
blessed
Apostles
.
And
no
doubt
if
some
ceremonies
were
necessary
to
bee
obserued
among
Gods
people
to
retaine
the
memory
of
blessinges
receiued
,
and
maintaine
the
hope
and
expectation
of
the
Messias
to
come
,
seeing
wee
that
are
Christians
are
as
vnthankfull
and
forgetfull
of
the
manifold
blessings
of
God
as
they
were
,
&
it
is
as
hard
a
matter
&
as
miraculous
to
vs
,
to
beleeue
that
which
is
past
1600.
yeres
since
,
as
for
them
to
beleeue
that
which
was
to
come
,
seeing
neither
they
,
nor
wee
,
are
eye-witnesses
of
it
,
but
giue
credit
to
other
;
they
to
their
Prophets
whom
in
things
to
come
they
firmely
beleeued
;
we
to
our
Euangelists
&
Apostles
whome
we
cannot
deny
,
or
suspect
in
things
that
are
past
;
wee
haue
as
good
vse
of
our
rites
and
ceremonies
as
they
had
of
theirs
.
I
giue
this
breefe
note
the
rather
because
as
S.
Basil
complained
of
his
time
,
And
yet
heere
wee
finde
that
our
Sauiour
Christ
according
to
the
ancient
custome
of
the
Iewes
goeth
vp
yearely
to
Ierusalem
to
celebrate
the
Passeouer
,
and
satisfie
the
lawe
and
the
ceremonies
of
the
lawe
,
that
reached
not
to
him
:
and
suffered
him-selfe
to
bee
circumcised
,
which
needed
not
euen
by
the
reason
of
the
lawe
,
because
he
was
intacta
matre
natus
;
and
his
mother
fulfilled
the
ceremony
of
purification
,
which
was
not
necessary
,
because
she
was
not
comprehended
vnder
the
lawe
,
for
non
suscepto
semine
conceperat
;
shee
conceiued
not
as
other
women
did
,
But
as
the
Iewes
beeing
too
much
affected
to
the
letter
of
the
law
,
or
misled
by
the
Pharisies
the
interpreters
of
it
,
thought
the
fift
Commaundement
to
be
violated
onely
by
murther
and
slaughter
of
a
man
,
and
the
6
,
commaundement
broken
onely
by
actuall
adultery
;
but
our
Sauiour
playing
the
interpreter
,
telleth
them
,
Verely
,
verely
I
say
vnto
you
,
that
hee
that
is
vnaduisedly
angry
doth
murther
,
and
hee
that
looketh
after
a
woman
to
lust
after
her
doth
commit
adultery
,
viz.
Christmas
,
Easter
,
Whitsontide
,
&c.
are
the
breach
of
the
Sabboth
,
but
also
the
prophanation
of
the
smaller
feastes
,
which
are
appointed
for
the
seruice
of
God
,
and
the
memory
of
those
blessings
we
haue
receiued
by
the
meanes
of
his
seruants
,
is
the
breach
of
the
Sabboth
.
And
therefore
in
the
holy
Scriptures
we
finde
,
not
only
the
seauenth
day
called
the
Sabboth
,
but
al
other
feasts
&
holy
daies
,
either
appointed
by
God
,
or
the
lawfull
Magistrate
,
as
in
the
23.
of
Leuit.
where
the
first
day
of
the
seuenth
moneth
,
Iudas
Machabaeus
,
The
third
circumstance
.
Chrysost
in
opere
imperfecto
.
The
third
circumstance
is
the
place
where
he
began
this
reformation
;
and
that
was
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
Iesus
went
into
the
Temple
of
GOD
.
S.
Chrisosotome
,
in
opere
imperfecto
,
or
the
author
whosoeuer
,
noteth
it
to
bee
the
property
of
a
good
sonne
,
first
to
visit
his
fathers
house
when
hee
commeth
to
towne
,
and
performe
that
duety
and
honour
which
is
due
vnto
him
:
And
here
wee
see
,
our
Sauiour
Christ
when
he
commeth
to
Ierusalem
,
first
to
visit
his
fathers
house
Templum
Dei
,
the
Temple
of
God
,
though
now
for
the
abuse
thereof
it
might
bee
called
Templum
Iudaeorum
,
the
Temple
of
the
Iewes
,
as
Saint
Iohn
calleth
the
feast
of
the
Passouer
,
Pascha
Iudaeorum
,
not
Pascha
Dei
,
because
the
Iewes
abused
it
by
their
inuentions
,
as
Saint
Origen
noteth
vpon
that
place
;
Temple
of
God
,
though
by
abuse
it
was
become
a
den
of
theeues
.
And
wherein
should
a
good
sonne
rather
busie
himselfe
,
than
in
reforming
the
abuses
of
his
fathers
house
,
the
gouernment
whereof
is
committed
to
him
,
as
our
Sauiour
tolde
Ioseph
and
his
blessed
mother
;
must
I
not
goe
about
my
fathers
businesse
?
Now
although
the
people
were
called
the
people
of
GOD
;
and
the
Cittie
,
the
Cittie
of
God
,
as
wee
read
euery
where
in
the
Psalmes
and
Prophets
,
though
as
it
is
in
the
prophesie
of
Esay
,
The
faithfull
Cittie
was
become
an
harlot
,
and
had
neither
Iudgement
,
nor
Iustice
in
it
,
and
the
people
of
God
become
,
a
sinful
nation
,
and
a
people
laden
with
iniquity
;
yet
he
beginneth
not
his
reformation
there
,
but
in
the
temple
of
God
.
Giuing
this
as
a
lesson
by
his
example
to
all
Princes
,
and
Magistrates
to
whome
it
may
appertaine
,
that
as
a
Phisition
when
hee
comes
vnto
a
sicke
man
,
first
demaundeth
the
state
of
his
stomacke
,
and
laboureth
especially
to
order
it
,
(
because
if
the
stomacke
bee
sounde
,
the
body
is
strong
,
if
the
stomacke
be
sicke
,
the
whole
body
is
weakned
;
)
so
the
Magistrate
when
hee
findeth
the
bodie
of
the
common
wealth
diseased
,
or
distempered
,
let
him
first
inquyre
after
the
stomacke
how
that
is
affected
,
that
is
,
what
is
amisse
in
Church
and
Church-men
;
for
from
thence
as
from
the
roote
,
or
from
the
heart
,
or
from
the
fountaine
,
or
from
the
stomacke
,
proceedeth
the
health
,
or
the
diseases
,
the
sinnes
or
the
vertues
,
of
the
Prince
and
the
people
:
which
being
powred
vpon
Aarons
head
runneth
downe
to
his
beard
and
so
along
to
the
border
and
skirts
of
his
garment
,
that
is
,
first
affect
the
Magistrate
,
&
them
that
are
seated
in
higher
places
,
and
so
by
degrees
the
meanest
people
:
and
the
sinne
of
the
Clergie
is
like
a
rheume
,
which
ascendeth
out
of
the
stomacke
into
the
head
,
and
from
thence
spreadeth
it selfe
,
into
all
parts
of
the
body
:
according
to
that
of
Leuiticus
,
Si
sacerdos
qui
vnctus
est
peccauerit
,
faciet
delinquere
populum
,
Nonne
destructio
nostra
vos
estis
?
are
not
you
our
destruction
?
yea
,
no
question
,
you
are
our
destruction
.
Wherefore
though
many
other
thinges
were
amisse
amongst
the
people
of
the
Iewes
,
yet
because
they
proceeded
from
the
disorder
of
the
Temple
,
as
the
effect
from
the
cause
,
according
to
the
counsaile
of
God
by
the
prohet
Ezechiell
,
à
sanctuario
meo
incipite
,
iudgement
must
begin
at
the
house
of
God
,
Hee
cast
out
all
those
that
sold
,
and
bought
in
the
Temple
,
and
ouerthrew
the
tables
of
money-changers
,
and
the
seates
of
them
that
sold
doues
.
Now
because
these
abuses
,
buying
and
selling
,
of
sheepe
,
and
oxen
,
and
doues
,
and
money-changers
,
and
that
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
may
seeme
somewhat
strange
vnto
you
,
may
it
please
you
to
vnderstand
,
that
according
to
the
commandement
of
God
,
all
sorts
of
people
from
all
the
regions
of
Iurie
,
came
vp
to
this
most
royall
and
ample
Temple
,
especially
on
festiuall
daies
,
to
offer
sacrifice
vnto
the
Lord
.
The
richer
sort
offered
oxen
,
goates
,
sheepe
,
&c.
the
poorer
sort
,
pigeons
,
and
turtle
doues
,
&c.
But
it
hapned
oftentimes
,
that
they
which
came
far
off
,
brought
no
sacrifices
with
them
;
wherefore
the
Priests
to
make
a
prey
of
the
people
,
as
Saint
Ierome
noteth
,
sold
them-selues
,
or
caused
to
be
sold
by
others
,
sheepe
,
and
oxen
,
and
doues
,
&
whatsoeuer
was
necessary
for
the
sacrifice
:
and
for
this
merchandizing
in
the
Temple
,
had
their
pretence
out
of
the
letter
of
the
law
;
Now
because
it
happened
that
some
came
thither
that
were
so
poore
,
that
they
had
no
mony
to
buy
them
offerings
,
they
placed
there
money-changers
,
who
vppon
securitie
would
lend
them
the
mony
:
but
because
vsury
was
forbidden
by
the
law
,
&
yet
they
would
make
some
gaine
of
their
money
they
were
contented
to
take
smaller
trifles
,
which
would
yeeld
them
money
,
as
raysons
and
apples
,
and
such
kinde
of
stuffe
,
as
they
call
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
thinking
by
this
meanes
to
auoid
the
law
;
whereas
the
Prophet
Ezechiel
saith
vsura
a
&
superabundantiam
non
accipietis
;
Others
that
are
learned
are
of
opinion
,
that
these
money-changers
,
these
〈◊〉

〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
as
they
be
called
in

were
placed
there
to

that
came
to
that
place
to
buy
their
sacrifices
,
as
to
change
greater
money
for

for

which

be

to
be
more
probable

Moreouer
may
it
please
you
also
to
vnderstand
for
your
better
instruction
in
this
story
,
and
that
you
may
perceiue
what
these
abuses
were
,
that
the
name
of
the
Temple
is
sometimes
taken
properly
and
strictly
pro
domo
templi
,
for
the
body
of
the
temple
,
which
was
diuided
into
two
parts
,
as
our
churches
are
,
one
was
called
Sanctum
,
the
holy
place
,
where
there
was
the
Altar
of
incense
,
the
Table
,
and
the
Candelsticke
;
and
the
other
was
Sanctum
sanctorum
,
the
holy
of
holyest
,
where
was
the
Arke
of
the
Testament
,
and
the
two
Cherubins
:
into
that
part
that
was
called
Sanctum
,
the
Priests
onely
entred
to
offer
incense
,
and
none
other
;
into
the
Sanctum
sanctorum
the
high
Priest
entred
only
,
and
that
but
once
a
yeare
.
Sometimes
the
Temple
is
taken
more
largely
,
and
signifieth
a
certaine
quadrangle
compassed
in
with
a
wall
,
before
the
Temple
;
and
it
was
called
Atrium
Sacerdotum
,
the
Priestes
Court
,
where
there
was
an
altar
for
burnt
offerings
;
and
into
this
not
onely
the
Priests
did
enter
,
but
the
Leuites
also
,
who
did
helpe
them
to
flea
and
wash
the
sacrifices
:
now
at
the
gate
of
this
Court
the
common
people
stood
,
and
offered
their
sacrifices
to
the
Priestes
.
Into
none
of
these
places
came
our
Sauiour
;
not
into
the
Sanctum
sanctorum
,
because
he
was
not
high
Priest
;
not
into
the
Sanctum
,
because
he
was
no
Priest
;
not
into
the
Priests
Court
,
because
he
was
neither
Priest
nor
Leuite
.
But
beside
these
,
there
were
two
other
places
to
pray
in
,
sub
diuo
,
abroad
in
the
aire
;
in
one
the
men
praid
,
in
the
other
the
women
praid
:
and
these
Atria
or
Courts
were
called
by
the
name
of
the
Temple
;
as
in
the
Actes
it
is
said
,
that
Peter
and
Iohn
went
into
the
Temple
about
the
ninth
hower
to
pray
.
he
cast
out
the
buyers
and
sellers
,
and
the
money-changers
,
and
the
seates
of
them
that
sold
doues
,
out
of
the
Temple
.
Now
out
of
this
fourth
circumstance
among
many
things
worthy
the
obseruation
,
they
that
haue
to
doo
with
the
reformation
of
the
Church
or
Common-wealth
,
may
learn
not
to
take
away
the
vse
of
good
things
,
because
they
be
abused
,
but
to
remoue
the
abuse
,
and
restore
the
thing
to
his
proper
nature
and
first
institution
:
For
our
Sauiour
finding
these
grosse
abuses
in
the
Temple
,
doth
not
offer
to
pul
downe
the
Temple
,
or
perswade
the
Magistrates
to
turne
it
to
prophane
vses
,
or
to
build
them
goodly
pallaces
or
courts
of
the
ruines
of
it
;
a
house
of
prayer
and
seruice
of
God
,
hee
restoreth
againe
to
the
first
institution
.
For
seeing
all
the
estates
of
the
world
,
the
estate
of
Princes
,
the
estate
of
Priestes
,
and
the
estate
of
the
Nobility
,
yea
and
the
estate
of
the
people
,
where
they
haue
any
estate
,
à
paruis

doe
by
degrees
enlarge
their
authorities
,
and
of
small
beginnings
grow
into
greatnes
,
donec
in
vitium
vsque
luxurient
,
and
at
last
run
,
ryot
and
abuse
their
authority
when
it
is
at
the
highest
.
If
in
our
reformations
we
should
not
follow
this
patterne
of
our
Sauiour
,
but
remoue
good
thinges
for
the
abuse
of
them
;
many
strange
,
many
dangerous
,
and
vnnaturall
alterations
would
ensue
both
in
the
Church
and
Common-wealth
.
And
wee
finde
by
experience
,
that
this
argument
Ab
abusu
,
ad
non
vsum
,
From
the
abuse
of
good
things
to
the
abolishing
of
them
,
as
it
hath
bred
heresies
and
schismes
in
the
Church
;
so
also
rebellions
and
treasons
in
the
Commonwealth
.
The
Manichees
altogether
condemned
Christianity
,
because
there
were
found
many
ill
Christians
:
to
whome
Saint
Austen
answered
,
Dauid
,
Iosias
and
the
like
,
would
not
haue
bin
Kings
:
for
Boni
non
vtuntur
rebus
malis
,
those
that
are
good
meddle
not
with
bad
matters
:
And
wee
finde
that
the
rent
in
the
kingdome
of
Israel
,
was
because
,
per
turpitudinem
abuti
properabant
.
For
the
common
people
by
reason
of
their
ignorance
,
inuincible
ignorance
,
beeing
not
able
to
discerne
between
the
true
vse
of
that
which
is
good
,
and
the
abuse
of
it
;
nor
between
that
fault
that
proceedeth
ex
natura
facti
,
si
regia
clementia
subditos
tractet
,
If
hee
handle
the
subiects
with
the
clemency
of
a
King
;
and
condemne
a
Monarchy
,
the
best
kinde
of
gouernement
,
Si

tyrannica
saeuiat
,
if
being
a
King
he
shew
the
cruelty
of
a
tyrant
,
beeing
not
able
to
discerne
betweene
the
iust
vse
of
an
vniust
authoritie
,
and
the
vniust
vse
of
a
iust
authority
.
They
will
with
Lycurgus
roote
out
all
the
Vines
in
a
Countrey
,
because
men
will
be
drunke
,
and
euen
mad
with
wine
;
whereas
Plutarch
saith
,
they
should
rather
digge
welles
and
fountaines
neere
vnto
them
;
and
as
Plato
counselleth
,
Insanum

;
that
is
take
away
the
abuse
by
mixing
some

of

with

They

that

is
euill
,
but
that
which
cannot
be
well

;
which
is
the
same
which
the
Canonists
haue
,
Now
our
Sauiour
here
teacheth
them
another
lesson
,
not
to
pull
downe
Churches
for
the
abuse
of
them
,
or
the
abuse
of
the
Priest
;
but
reforme
the
abuse
and
retaine
the
good
vse
.
And
although
our
Sauior
when
the
Iewes
were
incorrigible
,
and
would
not
be
reformed
,
nor
repent
them
of
that
sinne
of
sinnes
,
the
putting
to
death
,
to
shamefull
death
,
that
innocent
Lambe
,
the
very
Sonne
of
God
,
our
Sauior
Christ
Iesus
,
threatned
the
destruction
of
the
Temple
and
the
miserable
captiuity
of
the
whole
Nation
,
and
perfourmed
it
:
So
that
Ierusalem
became
as
Iericho
was
an
execrable
thing
;
for
although
Iulian
,
A
taking
away
of
the
Kingdome
of
God
from
them
and
giuing
it
to
a
Nation
that
should
bring
foorth
the
fruites
thereof
;
as
when
Saul
became
incorrigible
,
and
abused
his
State
,
Samuel
said
not
,
the
Lord
hath
rent
away
the
kingdome
from
Israel
this
day
,
and
will
haue
no
more
Kings
but
Iudges
,
&c.
but
,
The
Lord
hath
rent
the
kingdome
of
Israel
from
thee
this
day
,
and
hath
giuen
it
to
thy
neighbour
,
who
is
better
than
thou
:
that
is
,
hath
remooued
the
insufficient
from
the
place
of
gouernment
,
and
put
in
his
roome
one
more
sufficient
.
To
teach
vs
,
that
as
for
the
sinnes
of
Princes
and
abuse
of
their
State
,
the
manner
of
gouernment
is
not
altered
by
God
,
nor
their
priueledges
abrogated
,
but
the
Office
translated
to
a
fitter
person
;
so
,
for
the
abuse
of
Churches
and
Church-men
,
neither
the
Churches
ought
to
bee
defaced
and
ruined
,
nor
the
state
of
the
Cleargie
to
bee
disgraced
and
villified
;
but
those
that
are
disordered
must
bee
displaced
,
and
their
honours
bestowed
vpon
better
men
.
For
this
is
a
lesson
set
downe
in
the
rules
of
the
law
,
as
an
axiome
or
maxime
in
nature
,
&
not
in
a
law
positiue
or
humaine
constitution
,
Hee
cast
out
them
that
sold
and
bought
,
&c.
An
extraordinary
course
is
vsed
by
our
Sauiour
,
and
therefore
the
more
obseruable
.
For
whereas
in
all
other
places
and
against
all
other
sinnes
hee
vseth
wordes
,
and
reproofes
and
reprehensions
;
and
those
also
tempered
with
humility
,
mildnes
and
gentlenes
:
Heere
he
vseth
force
and
execution
,
and
externall
discipline
,
and
present
correction
,
by
casting
them
out
of
the
Temple
,
by
making
a
whippe
of
small
cordes
,
was
sent
into
the
world
,
not
to
iudge
the
world
,
but
that
the
worlde
might
bee
saued
by
him
;
If
her
excellent
Maiestie
,
beeing
famous
and
renowned
for
her
singular
clemency
,
shoulde
come
to
this
Citty
and
with
her
own
hands
,
punish
a
fault
or
misdemeanor
,
it
were
a
good
argument
that
,
that
kind
of
sinne
were
most
odious
vnto
her
;
here
our
Sauior
the
Prince
of
peace
and
fountaine
of
mercy
commeth
to
Ierusalem
,
and
with
his
owne
hands
doth
punish
the
abuses
,
and
the
prophanations
of
the
temple
of
GOD
.
Adam
sinned
,
But
you
will
say
;
How
could
this
bee
,
that
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
being
one
man
,
and
vnarmed
,
without
a
guard
or
souldiers
after
him
,
without
any
humane
authority
or
externall
calling
,
in
the
presence
of
the
Priests
and
the
Scribes
,
who
hated
him
with
deadly
hatred
,
and
at
that
present
time
sought
after
his
life
,
who
made
profit
of
those
buiers
and
sellers
,
who
also
were
many
in
number
,
and
most
attentiue
and
greedy
after
their
gaine
,
and
had
(
as
I
said
before
)
an
honest
pretence
out
of
the
law
for
this
their
marchandizing
;
notwithstanding
all
these
circumstances
,
without
tumult
,
without
noise
,
without
contradiction
or
resistance
,
hee
should
bee
able
to
cast
them
all
together
out
of
the
Temple
?
tot
millium
hominum
domantur
ingenia
;
hee
daunteth
the
hearts
and
courages
of
thousands
of
men
.
For
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
some
miracles
were
wrought
vpon
the
bodies
of
men
,
which
we
most
admire
,
because
they
are
subiect
to
the
sight
of
our
eies
:
&
some
vpon
the
mindes
of
men
,
quantùm
ad
immutandas
inferiores
vires
,
concerning
the
change
of
their
inferiour
faculties
,
as
the
Schoolemen
say
;
which
though
they
were
more
miraculous
,
yet
to
vs
they
seeme
not
so
.
And
this
distinction
may
bee
gathered
out
of
the
Hebrews
,
where
he
saith
;
by
signes
and
wonders
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
by
diuers
powers
,
which
wrought
vpon
the
mindes
and
soules
of
men
.
The
miracles
which
he
wrought
vpon
bodies
are
obserued
by
you
al
,
but
the
miracle
which
he
wrought
vpon
their
minds
&
soules
were
these
&
the
like
:
first
,
the
informing
of
his
Disciples
with
knowledge
&
vnderstanding
,
I
wil
giue
you
a
mouth
&
wisdome
where
against
all
your
aduersaries
shall
not
be
able
to
speake
or
resist
.
And
therfore
it
is
said
in
the
Actes
,
when
the
Iewes
saw
the
constancie
of
Peter
and
Iohn
,
&
vnderstood
that
they
were
vnlearned
men
,
and
without
knowledge
,
admirabanter
,
they
thought
it
a
miracle
.
follow
me
,
though
he
sate
at
the
receipt
of
costome
,
yet
presently
he
rose
vp
and
followed
him
:
Fulgur

Maiestatis
videntem

;
The
lightning
of
his
diuine
Maiesty
drew
him
vnto
him
so
soone
as
he
did
but

him
.

him
downe
headlong
,
but
Iesus
passed
through
the
midst
of
them
,
and
went
his
way
:
where
S.
Chrisostom
saith
;
Stare
in
medio
insidiantium
&
non
apprehendi
,
To
stand
in
the
midst
of
those
that
way-laid
him
&
not
to
be
taken
,
shewed
his
Diuinity
,
and
was
a
miracle
.
Finally
,
as
I
haue
shewed
you
before
,
with
this
facility
to
cast
out
the
buiers
,
and
sellers
,
&c.
and
not
to
be
resisted
,
argued
the
power
of
his
Diuinity
,
and
was
a
miracle
.
And
this
of
the
fifth
circumstance
.
I
amplifie
this
poynt
,
and
vrge
all
these
circumstances
of
our
Sauiours
force
,
and
extraordinary
violence
vsed
in
this
place
,
and
the
miraculous
perfourming
of
it
;
to
shew
vnto
you
how
odious
this
sinne
is
,
of
prophaning
the
Church
of
GOD
with
buying
and
selling
.
And
no
question
,
if
this
merchandizing
(
which
had
so
faire
a
pretence
for
it
as
the
letter
of
the
law
,
&
the
ease
and
benifit
of
the
whole
nation
)
was
so
odious
to
our
Sauiour
Christ
;
our
merchandizing
,
and
buying
&
selling
in
the
Church
of
God
,
cannot
be
lesse
odious
and
offensiue
to
him
.
For
our
buying
and
selling
in
the
Church
of
GOD
,
our
Symonie
,
as
wee
call
it
,
hath
no
pretence
for
it
in
the
lawe
of
Moyses
,
nor
in
the
lawe
of
the
Gospell
,
nor
in
Ecclesiasticall
or
Canon
lawes
,
nor
in
the
Ciuill
and
Nationall
lawes
of
any
Countrey
.
The
law
of
Moyses
prouided
so
liberally
for
the
Priests
and
the
whole
family
of
the
Leuites
,
by
the
free
citties
,
and
the
demaines
which
were
allowed
them
in
euery
Tribe
,
that
there
was
neither
vse
nor
abuse
of
buying
and
selling
till
Ieroboams
time
,
erected
an
altar
against
the
altar
of
GOD
,
and
made
of
the
lowest
of
the
people
(
that
would
fill
his
hand
)
idolatrous
priests
.
In
the
new
law
of
the
new
Testament
there
was
gratis
accepistis
,
gratis
date
;
the
Apostles
receiued
their
gifts
freely
,
and
gaue
them
freely
;
the
people
receiued
the
word
freely
,
and
freely
of
their
owne
accord
they
laid
downe
the
price
of
their
land
at
the
Apostles
feete
.
The
Ecclesiasticall
and
Ciuill
lawes
forbid
nothing
with
greater
regard
,
since
the
Church
was
endowed
with
peculiar
maintenance
,
than
the
buying
and
selling
of
Spirituall
offices
,
and
Ecclesiasticall
perferments
:
and
I
know
none
,
either
ancient
Father
,
or
Schoole-man
,
or
late
Writer
,
which
applieth
not
this
Scripture
,
and
this
Action
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
to
our
Simoniacall
buying
and
selling
of
orders
and
offices
in
Christian
Churches
.
So
that
if
all
councels
and
ancient
reuerend
Bishoppes
,
which
had
the
constituting
or
confirming
of
Ecclesiasticall
lawes
be
not
deceiued
,
this
Simonie
is
a
wrong
to
the
state
of
the
Church
:
if
all
good
Princes
and
Statesmen
,
and
Parliaments
bee
not
deceiued
,
who
haue
the
making
and
establishing
of
Statute
Lawes
,
this
Simonie
is
preiudiciall
to
a
Common-weale
:
if
all
interpreters
be
not
deceiued
,
it
is
a
sinne
against
the
law
of
God
,
and
seuerely
chastised
in
this
place
by
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
either
mistically
and
figuratiuely
,
or
by
necessary
consequence
.
For
if
those
things
which
by
nature
were
vendible
,
as
sheepe
and
oxen
,
and
to
that
purpose
,
to
offer
them
in
sacrifice
to
God
,
might
not
be
bought
and
sould
in
the
house
of
GOD
or
the
precincts
of
it
;
much
lesse
may
offices
Ecclesiasticall
,
or
Tythes
,
or
the
maintenance
of
Gods
Ministers
,
which
by
nature
are
not
saleable
,
be
bought
or
sold
in
the
Church
of
God
.
For
what
?
If
the
sinne
of
Simon
Magus
(
of
whom
this
fault
hath
denomination
)
consisted
in
buying
onely
,
and
not
in
selling
of
that
which
was
spiritual
;
seeing
buying
and
selling
are
both
in
a
predicament
(
for
nothing
is
bought
but
that
which
is
sold
,
&
contrà
)
and
the
Apostles
had
sinned
as
greeuously
in
selling
,
as
Simon
did
in
buying
:
and
the
Schoole-men
say
well
,
Simon
Magus
in
purpose
,
though
not
in
action
;
because
he
would
haue
bought
the
holy
Ghost
,
to
sell
his
miracles
.
May
not
the
Church
impose
one
name
to
both
these
sinnes
,
which
are
cousin
germaines
,
nay
brother
germanes
,
as
well
as
buying
and
selling
should
bee
comprehended
vnder
the
word
of
merchandizing
?
or
that
,
seruus
,
vas
,
ager
,
arbor
,
pecus
,
should
be
contained
vnder
the
name
of
pecunia
,
as
S.
Austin
noteth
in
his
Bookes
of
Christian
Learning
?
Againe
;
If
the
sinne
of
Simon
Magus
properly
consisted
in
the
buying
of
a
spirituall
thing
,
of
the
working
of
miracles
,
which
is
meerely
spirituall
;
as
the
gift
of
preaching
or
the
gift
of
prophecying
;
and
the
gift
of
preaching
and
the
maintenance
allotted
for
it
,
by
what
name
or
title
so-euer
you
call
it
,
concurre
to
the
making
of
a
perfect
Preacher
,
as
the
soule
and
body
to
the
making
of
a
perfect
man
;
so
that
as
the
soule
seperated
from
the
body
,
though
it
liueth
,
This
selling
and
buying
in
the
Church
of
God
,
which
by
the
generall
consent
of
interpreters
,
Fathers
and
Schoolmen
,
is
here
punished
by
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
and
is
iustly
called
Simonie
,
and
a
true
branch
of
the
sinne
of
Simon
Magus
is
so
common
and
vsuall
in
the
Church
of
England
,
that
I
must
needs
say
,
that
either
you
esteeme
it
not
as
a
sinne
,
or
if
you
take
it
for
a
sinne
,
since
our
Sauiour
is
ascended
into
Heauen
,
you
thinke
there
is
no
GOD
to
punish
you
for
it
.
To
hold
it
no
sinne
,
is
to
hold
the
heresie
of
Simon
Magus
(
for
so
it
is
called
)
that
is
,
bundle
of
iniquity
,
that
containeth
many
sinnes
fast
chained
together
:
which
argue
,
that
the
hart
is
not
right
,
and
from
which
wee
may
pray
to
bee
deliuered
,
not
simply
as
from
other
sinnes
,
but
if
it
be
possible
,
as
Saint
Peter
counselled
Simon
Magus
pray
vnto
God
,
that
if
it
bee
possible
this
thought
of
thy
hart
may
be
forgiuen
thee
.
But
forasmuch
as
since
the
time
,
that
good
Christians
are
degenerated
into
cunning
politicians
,
it
is
not
so
much
regarded
,
what
is
good
for
the
state
of
the
Church
,
as
what
is
fitting
and
behoofefull
for
a
Common-wealth
;
nor
such
reckoning
made
of
eternall
reward
,
or
eternall
punishment
,
as
of
present
pleasure
&
of
punishment
inflicted
on
our
body
,
or
goods
:
and
we
say
with
the
Policitians
,
First
,
as
much
as
in
it
lyeth
,
it
taketh
away
the
society
and
fellowshippe
of
mankinde
,
wherein
consisteth
a
Commen-wealth
.
For
if
wee
shall
bee
so
affected
,
that
euery
man
for
his
owne
commodity
,
will
rob
and
spoyle
another
man
,
the
society
of
mankind
,
which
of
all
things
is
most
naturall
,
must
needes
bee
dissolued
:
and
if
wee
shall
bee
so
affected
,
that
one
state
in
a
Common-wealth
will
by
all
meanes
endeuour
to
eate
vp
another
,
that
deformity
will
grow
in
the
Common-wealth
,
that
would
happen
in
the
body
of
a
man
in
the
like
case
;
for
if
the
legs
should
challenge
and
enioy
all
that
nourishment
which
should
goe
to
the
armes
,
the
one
part
would
be
vnweldy
by
his
greatnes
,
and
the
other
vnprofitable
by
his
weakenes
.
It
is
well
knowen
and
confessed
,
that
the
state
of
the
Clergy
in
euery
good
Christian
Common-wealth
,
hath
had
his
lot
and
portion
,
not
onely
spirituall
in
the
Lord
,
but
also
temporall
in
the
Common-wealth
,
being
an
estate
of
men
,
as
of
the
best
desert
,
if
they
do
their
duties
;
so
not
to
be
fed
by
the
ayre
,
as
the
Cameleons
are
,
but
by
the
fruits
and
increase
which
proceede
from
the
earth
:
and
therefore
they
haue
had
allotted
them
by
the
law
of
nature
,
as
Melchisedech
had
;
by
the
law
of
Moyses
as
the
Priests
had
;
and
by
the
confirmation
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
haec
oportet
fieri
,
these
things
must
bee
done
;
and
by
ciuill
and
prouinciall
lawes
in
Christianity
,
not
onely
the
Tythes
of
the
fruite
of
the
earth
;
because
they
haue
bellies
to
be
fed
,
and
backs
to
bee
clothed
,
Now
if
their
Christian
priuiledges
which
haue
beene
many
,
shall
be
made
voide
,
against
the
rule
of
the
12.
Tables
,
Priuilegia
ne
irroganto
,
pessima
ac
flagitiosissima
facta
est
;
so
the
Common-wealth
of
England
and
of
Christianitie
,
by
this
foule
sinne
of
Simonie
and
Sacriledge
,
before
the
second
comming
of
our
Sauiour
,
of
a
most
religious
and
well
ordered
Common-wealth
,
will
become
irreligious
and
simoniacall
.
Secondly
,
this
buying
and
selling
in
the
Church
of
God
,
will
make
barren
and
like
desolate
and
forsaken
Widowes
the
two
Vniuersities
,
the
two
fruitfull
Mothers
and
full
of
Children
,
though
now
readie
to
giue
vp
the
ghost
,
and
powre
out
their
soules
in
their
Mothers
bosomes
.
For
if
we
that
bee
bred
vp
in
learning
,
suffer
in
our
childhood
in
the
Grammar
schooles
magnum
&
graue
malum
,
the
torments
of
martyrdome
)
and
when
wee
come
to
the
Vniuersitie
,
if
wee
liue
of
the
Colledges
allowance
,
are
,
as
Phalaris
obiected
to
the
Leontines
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
needy
of
all
things
but
hunger
and
feare
;
or
if
we
be
maintained
but
partly
by
our
parents
cost
,
doo
expend
in
necessarie
maintenance
,
bookes
,
and
degrees
,
before
wee
come
to
any
perfection
,
fiue
hundred
pounds
,
or
a
thousand
markes
.
If
by
this
price
of
the
expence
of
our
time
,
our
bodies
and
spirites
,
our
substance
and
patrimonies
,
wee
cannot
purchase
those
small
rewardes
which
are
ours
by
law
,
and
the
right
of
inheritance
,
a
poore
Parsonage
or
a
poore
Vicarage
,
of
fortie
or
fiftie
pound
a
yeare
;
but
wee
must
pay
to
the
Patron
for
the
lease
of
a
life
(
a
spent
and
out-worne
life
)
either
in
annuall
pension
,
or
aboue
the
rate
of
a
Copy-hold
,
and
that
with
the
hazard
of
the
losse
of
our
soules
,
by
simonie
and
periurie
,
and
the
forfeiture
of
all
our
spirituall
preferments
in
esse
and
in
posse
,
both
present
and
to
come
:
what
father
after
a
while
will
bee
so
improuident
,
to
bring
vp
his
sonne
to
his
great
charge
,
to
this
necessarie
beggerie
?
What
Christian
will
bee
so
irreligious
,
as
to
bring
vp
his
sonne
in
that
course
of
life
,
which
by
probabilitie
of
necessitie
(
quae
cogit
ad
turpia
,
Doctrina
est
pretium

,
Learning
is
her
owne
recompence
:
and
the
Minister
must
consider
fructum
,
Lux

,
the
light
of
the
minde
,
and

of

and
for

;
but
of
Gentlemen
,
who
can
liue
without
it
;
and
of
Stoickes
and
Philosophers
,
which
had
no
passions
,
which
liued
as
soules
without

,
so
farre
in
loue
with
the
food
of
the
one
,
that
they
tooke
no

what
became
of

But
if
Gentlemen
onely
should
bee
learned
,
a
competent
measure
would
serue
their
turne
,
the
dephts
of
professions
are
aboue
their
endeuours
,
they
are
so
painefull
:
and
you
shall
finde
as
few
Schollers
that
doo
reach
to
that
height
of
Philosophie
,
as
to
feed
their
mindes
and
to
starue
their
bodies
,
as
you
shall
finde
Gentlemen
that
are
come
to
that
height
of
Christianity
,
to
forsake
all
and
follow
Christ
,
or
to
loue
their
enemies
and
studie
their
good
.
But
the
Romanes
,
who
made

ioyned

For
the
latter
,
that
we
must
not
seeke
datum

fructum
,
it
is
most
true
:
But
that
law

bindeth

to
prouide
sufficiently
for

The

That
law
that
bindeth
him
that
laboureth
to

vnto

spirituall
things
,
bindeth
you
to
administer

,
and
not

:

if
Gentlemen
bee
partakers

,
they
must
administer

worldly

:
for
as
Saint

said
,

a

so
on
the
other
side
,

;
In

not

that

what
a
peruerse

is
this

coelestibus

bodily
food
without
either
changing
the
nature
of
things
,
or
discrediting
their
spirituall
calling
.
As
for
those
that
are
rich
in
the
Clergy
,
the
number
(
God
knoweth
)
is
very
scant
;
and
those
either
Antiqui
Heroës
nati
melioribus
annis
,
which
began
with
the
beginning
of
her
Maiesties
reigne
,
when
Benefices
went
a
begging
as
Ministers
doe
now
;
or
those
whose
best
reuenew
is
parsimony
and
miserable
diet
,
without
hospitality
;
or
els
those
,
who
are
enriched
by
land
or
other
patrimony
left
vnto
them
by
their
parents
or
friends
.
And
yet
the
greatest
part
of
these
,
who
by
their
titles
of
dignity
and
outward
appearance
seeme
rich
vnto
you
,
they
haue
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
a
needy
kinde
of
wealth
,
and
estate
vnestablished
;
copiosam
inopiam
,
&
ignominiosam
gloriam
,
a
plentifull
penurie
,
and
inglorious
glorie
.
Their
dignities
and
honors
for
the
most
part
are
titular
,
like
the
Archdeaconrie
of
London
in
King
Henry
the
seconds
daies
:
Petrus
Blesensis
reported
to
Innocentius
then
Bishop
of
Rome
,
to
bee
Draco
non
habens
vnde
possit
viuere
nisi
vento
,
A
Dragon
(
a
stately
name
or
title
,
the
Archdeacon
of
London
)
not
hauing
wherof
to
liue
,
except
of
winde
:
for
saith
he
,
Ille
honos
est
in
solis
,
&
nndis
,
&
puris
intellectibus
,
That
preferment
standeth
in
onely
,
and
naked
,
and
pure
supposals
.
So
that
if
the
Cleargie
may
take
denomination
of
the
greater
part
,
of
an
hundred
for
one
,
it
is
a
poore
Cleargy
;
and
hereafter
when
the
Prince
or
the
State
shall
haue
need
of
their
purses
,
they
must
answere
with
Saint
Peter
;
Argentum
&
aurum
non
est
mihi
,
Siluer
and
gold
haue
we
none
,
but
that
which
wee
haue
,
we
will
readily
afford
;
a
praier
or
a
blessing
,
a
lecture
or
a
sermon
.
Wherefore
to
conclude
this
point
,
though
learning
of
it selfe
be
neuer
so
precious
,
yet
if
students
after
they
haue
spent
their
time
,
their
spirits
,
their
liues
,
their
patrymonies
for
the
good
of
the
Church
or
common-wealth
,
Thirdly
,
this
buying
and
selling
in
the
Church
of
GOD
,
will
procure
an
vnsufficient
and
an
vnlearned
Ministerie
;
for
by
this
meanes
Strenuus
&
segnis
fato
potiuntur
eodem
,
the
learned
and
the
vnlearned
are
in
like
possibility
to
haue
the
presentation
at
the
patrons
hands
.
Balaams
Asse
if
hee
can
but

if
he
come
laden
with
coyne
,
shall
bee
preferred
before
Balaam

,
Greg.
Naz.
said
,
if
there
bee
a
Samuel
amongst
our
Prophets
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
who
is
a
seer
as
they
called
him
,
or
a
learned
man
;
there
is
a
Saul
also
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
a
base
and
an
ignorant
Prophet
:
by
which
meanes
that
order
and
calling
which
is
in
toto
Christianismo
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
manere
rudem
Corinthiorum
intellectum
,
that
the
Corinthians
should
continue
in
rudenesse
and
ignorance
;
and
though
the
Papists
thought
it
good
,
and
to
stand
with
the
policie
of
their
Church
,
to
keepe
the
people
in
blind
simplicity
:
yet
it
cannot
stand
eyther
with
the
policie
of
any
Christian
Church
or
Common-wealth
,
to
haue
ignorant
teachers
,
ignorant
Priests
,
ignorant
Preachers
;
but
seeing
it
is
a
curse
which
God
threatneth
in
his
displeasure
to
disordered
Common-wealths
,
&
erit
sicut
populus
,
sic
&
sacerdos
,
that
the
Priests
should
be
either
as
wicked
or
as
ignorant
as
the
people
are
,
and
this
buying
and
selling
effecteth
this
curse
,
it
seemeth
most
inconuenient
for
a
Common-wealth
.
Fourthly
,
this
buying
and
selling
in
the
Church
of
God
,
this
Simony
,
doth
remoue
all
hospitality
,
and
all
meanes
of
hospitality
from
the
state
of
the
Clergie
,
which
doth
not
onely
hinder
and
hold
backe
the
fruites
of
our
preaching
,
because
as
Saint
Gregorie
noteth
,
Egentis
mentem
doctrinae
sermo
non
penetrat
,
Fiftly
.
This
buying
and
selling
in
the
Church
of
God
,
this
Simonie
,
if
it
doe
not
effect
a
dissolution
of
this
State
;
yet
it
doth
foreshew
and
portend
some
great
euill
to
ensue
.
For
wee
read
in
the
Ecclesiasticall
Historie
,
that
the
prophanation
of
the
Church
did
foreshew
no
good
to
ensue
;
and
hee
alleadged
for
the
confirmation
of
it
two
verses
out
of
a
Greeke
Poet
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
Nam
saepè
signa
talia
dari
solent
,
cùm
sacra
foedum
templa
polluit
scelus
.
And
saith
Socrates
,
Hee
that
said
thus
was
not
deceiued
;
for
it
foreshewed
troubles
and
diuisions
among
the
people
,
and
the
banishment
of
him
that
was
authour
of
them
.
And
we
finde
,
that
not
long
after
this
prophanation
of
the
Temple
,
this
buying
and
selling
of
oxen
,
and
sheepe
,
&c.
and
the
buying
and
selling
of
the
Priest-hood
which
for
money
was
now
become
annuall
;
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
ensued
,
and
the
dispersion
of
the
whole
Nation
:
And
the
flourishing
Kingdomes
and
Churches
of
Graecia
and
Armenia
were
forsaken
of
God
,
and
became
subiect
to
the
Turkes
,
when
they
began
to
maintaine
this
heresie
,
Licere
res
Ecclesiasticas
vendere
;
that
it
was
lawful
to
sell
the
goods
of
the
Church
.
And
it
is
a
receiued
obseruation
among
our
Writers
,
that
Ecclesia
&
Imperium
pariter
defecerunt
,
when
the
Church
began
to
bee
prophaned
by
Simonie
and
Sacriledge
,
the
Empire
began
to
bee
greatly
eclipsed
.
And
what
else
can
we
looke
for
after
this
prophanation
of
buying
and
selling
in
the
Church
of
God
,
but
some
curse
to
ensue
;
when
Ecclesiastica
possident
Laici
,
Wherefore
,
seeing
this
buying
and
selling
in
the
Church
is
so
heinous
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
so
inconuenient
for
a
Common-wealth
;
giue
mee
leaue
(
honorable
Lords
,
and
reuerent
Fathers
of
the
Cleargie
)
who
haue
your
places
of
state
and
dignitie
,
both
in
the
Church
and
Common-wealth
;
giue
me
leaue
in
all
humilitie
I
beseech
you
,
not
to
exhort
you
to
that
,
which
I
hope
you
doo
already
;
nor
to
dehort
you
from
that
fault
,
from
which
I
am
perswaded
that
some
of
you
are
as
free
and
innocent
as
Saint
Peter
was
;
but
to
counsell
him
that
standeth
,
to
take
heed
least
he
fall
into
this
sinne
:
which
is
by
so
much
the
more
hainous
in
you
,
than
in
an
inferiour
Minister
,
as
it
had
beene
in
Saint
Peter
to
haue
exacted
money
of
Simon
,
for
the
imposition
of
hands
,
than
in
Simon
Magus
for
offering
it
.
For
the
sinnes
and
offences
of
the
Shepheards
are
greater
than
the
sinnes
and
offences
of
the
Sheepe
:
First
,
because
they
cannot
excuse
themselues
by
simplicitie
or
pretence
of
ignorance
,
as
the
sheepe
may
:
secondly
,
because
they
are
placed
to
correct
them
that
goe
astray
;
not
to
lead
them
amisse
by
ill
example
:
thirdly
,
because
while
the
sheepheard
wandereth
by
the
steepe
and
dangerous
places
of
sinne
,
the
whole
flocke
who
are
taught
to
follow
the
Shepheard
,
doe
fall
downe
head-long
into
the
gulph
of
iniquitie
.
And
by
this
reason
,
the
sinnes
of
Gouernours
are
not
onely
personall
,
but
doe
oftentimes
engender
heresies
in
the
mindes
of
the
ignorant
and
inferiour
people
;
euery
one
thinking
that
lawfull
to
bee
done
,
which
his
Superiour
,
his
Gouernour
,
Secondly
.
You
that
are
my
Brethren
of
the
Cleargie
,
forasmuch
as
consensere
mores
peccatis
,
this
sinne
is
become
customable
in
this
land
;
&
videtur
licitum
quia
publicum
,
and
it
is
thought
lawfull
because
it
is
so
common
;
and
there
is
no
Simonie
wherein
you
are
not
one
partie
,
if
not
both
;
I
will
be
bolder
with
you
:
and
yet
that
my
words
may
carrie
more
credit
,
I
will
vse
S.
Bernards
exhortation
;
Si
filius
Dei
es
,
If
thou
bee
the
sonne
of
God
;
as
though
this
temptation
might
mooue
the
very
sonne
of
God
:
but
yet
for
all
that
,
let
not
this
temptation
force
you
to
Simonie
,
Stand
still
in
thy
state
,
and
trust
in
the
Lord
;
for
it
is
an
easie
thing
for
the
Lord
,
subito
honestare
pauperem
,
suddainly
to
make
a
poore
man
an
honest
man
,
as
our
phrase
is
;
that
is
,
a
rich
man
,
or
an
honourable
man
.
The
second
temptation
wherewith
the
diuell
assaulted
our
Sauiour
,
was
vain-glorie
;
wherevnto
also
a
spirituall
man
is
very
subiect
:
for
when
we
haue
auoided
all
sinnes
of
omission
and
commission
,
if
it
were
possible
to
auoide
them
all
,
vincenda
superbia
restat
,
pride
and
vain-glorie
they
will
assault
vs
;
and
therefore
to
this
temptation
hee
also
saith
,
Si
filius
Dei
es
.
But
the
third
temptation
was
a
grosse
and
a
carnall
temptation
,
when
hee
shewed
him
all
the
riches
and
kingdomes
of
the
world
;
that
is
,
the
temptation
of
ambition
,
and
couetousnesse
,
the
proper
and
naturall
temptations
of
carnall
men
:
and
therefore
in
the
two
first
he
said
,
Si
filius
Dei
es
,
but
not
in
the
third
;
which
cannot
agree
to
spirituall
men
,
such
as
you
should
be
in
life
and
profession
.
This
third
temptation
,
which
is
the
temptation
of
couetousnesse
and
ambition
,
the
authors
of
simonie
,
hath
made
the
Church
of
England
as
the
Temple
of
Ierusalem
was
,
a
denne
of
theeues
:
Bernard
,
Qui
non
fideliter
introiuit
,
Wherefore
,
longè
a
vobis
remouete
,
&c.
Remooue
farre
from
you
that
olde
euill
,
old
in
time
,
but
newe
and
fresh
in
dayly
practise
,
simonie
,
and
ambition
and
couetousnesse
,
the
authors
of
it
;
Greg.
Naizanzen
when
hee
resigned
his
Bishoprick
,
non
à
Deo
excluduntur
qui
priuantur
throno
;
not
to
bee
a
Bishop
or
a
Deane
,
&c.
is
not
to
bee
banished
from
heauen
,
or
from
Paradice
as
Adam
was
;
but
,
to
compasse
an
office
or
dignitie
by
simonie
,
is
as
Leo
said
,
accipere
spiritum
mendacii
,
to
receiue
the
spirit
of
lying
;
as
S.
Gregorie
writeth
,
to
haue
non
subsistens
sacerdotium
,
a
Priest-hood
not
subsisting
;
according
to
S.
Ambrose
,
Anathematis
opprobrio
condemnari
,
to
be
held
an
Anathema
;
in
Elizeus
h●s
iudgement
,
to
deserue
a
leprosie
;
in
Saint
Peters
sentence
,
to
merit
damnation
;
and
in
our
Sauiours
practise
,
to
be
whipt
and
scourged
out
of
the
Church
of
God
:
wherfore
,
Longè
à
vobis
remouete
,
&c.
Remooue
farre
from
you
this
euill
,
old
in
time
,
but
fresh
in
practise
;
this
simonie
,
and
couetousnesse
and
ambition
,
the
authors
of
it
.
And
you
that
are
Gentlemen
and
patrons
of
Benefices
,
thinke
not
your selues
free
from
this
sinne
of
Simony
,
because
Simon
Magus
offered
to
buy
and
not
sell
the
spirit
of
God
,
or
that
which
was
not
lawfull
to
be
sold
;
for
as
I
said
before
,
it
had
beene
a
greater
sinne
in
Saint
Peter
,
à
Simone
pecunias
exigere
,
quam
in
Simone
offerre
,
To
require
money
of
Simon
,
than
in
Simon
to
offer
it
:
heere
wee
finde
that
our
Sauiour
Christ
cast
out
of
the
Temple
,
not
onely
buyers
but
sellers
also
,
eiecit
vendentes
&
ementes
;
and
Gelasius
affirmeth
that
dantem
&
accipientem
damnatio
Simonis
inuoluit
,
Simon
Magus
wrappeth
vp
togither
both
the
buyer
and
the
seller
:
and
therefore
if
you
be
pares
culpa
,
equall
in
fault
,
you
shall
bee
pares
poena
,
equall
in
punishment
in
Gods
iustice
,
though
you
bee
vnequall
by
your
Statute
law
.
And
so
S.
Greg.
saith
,
Anathema
danti
,
anathema
accipienti
,
And
no
doubt
if
you
were
not
infected
with
the
spice
of
infidelitie
,
so
that
you
neither
beleeue
the
Scriptures
themselues
,
nor
the
generall
and
vniuersall
consent
of
the
most
holy
Fathers
,
the
interpreters
of
them
,
in
the
hainousnesse
of
this
sinne
,
and
the
certaintie
and
grauitie
of
the
punishment
of
it
,
you
would
not
touch
the
hallowed
thing
,
nor
sell
that
which
is
not
yours
;
or
that
which
is
worse
,
dare
sanctum
canibus
,
giue
that
to
your
dogs
,
to
your
hawkes
or
your
horses
,
&c.
which
is
the
portion
allotted
to
Christ
and
his
Ministers
:
you
would
not
make
that
priuate
which
belongeth
to
the
Church
or
the
Common-wealth
,
and
in
that
respect
is
consecrated
pietati
&
fidei
,
Beatius
est
dare
quàm
accipere
,
Is
it
not
sufficient
to
haue
taken
from
the
body
of
this
one
state
,
the
superfluous
rancke
blood
of
so
many
Monasteries
,
and
by
their
abuse
irreligious
houses
,
and
to
haue
abated
that
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
fulnesse
of
blood
in
our
Bishopricks
;
and
so
farre
to
haue
opened
the
vaines
of
the
Priests
for
feare
of
a
Pleurisie
by
impropriations
,
customes
and
compositions
,
that
for
very
weaknesse
they
are
ready
to
faint
in
the
streets
,
but
you
must
draw
out
that
little
life-blood
which
is
left
by
selling
your
Vicarages
,
or
retaining
your
Tithes
?
Peraduenture
you
are
of
opinion
(
as
I
vnderstand
some
are
now
adayes
)
that
either
there
is
no
Priesthood
in
Christianity
;
or
if
there
be
any
,
wee
be
all
alike
Priests
,
because
S.
Peter
saith
,
you
are
a
royall
Priesthood
,
regale
sacerdotium
;
Vae
accumulanti
non
sua
,
Woe
vnto
him
,
that
heapeth
vp
those
thinges
which
are
not
his
owne
:
Thesauros
quos
deuorauit
euomet
(
saith
Iob
)
&
de
ventre
eius
extrahet
eos
Deus
,
Hee
shall
cast
vp
the
treasures
which
he
hath
deuoured
,
and
the
Lord
shall
draw
them
out
of
his
belly
:
you
shall
finde
that
this
wicked
gaine
according
to
the
Greeke
prouerbe
,
hath
touched
a
Scorpion
,
which
no
man
toucheth
without
euident
danger
,
by
reason
of
the
poyson
which
he
hath
in
his
tayle
,
which
Galen
saith
is
mole
minimum
,
but
facultate
maximum
;
like
the
sin
of
Simony
&
Sacriledge
,
where
it
is
in
quantitie
small
,
it
is
in
quality
haynous
;
you
shall
find
a
more
grieuous
punishment
,
And
although
you
haue
liued
long
in
this
sinne
,
and
in
flourishing
state
,
and
not
felt
the
hand
of
GOD
vpon
you
,
ye
are
not
therefore
to
thinke
it
no
sinne
,
or
that
God
cannot
or
will
not
punish
it
;
for
although
as
the
Poet
saith
,
Mars
vltor
galeam
quoque
perdidit
,
Senacherib
,
can
put
a
hooke
in
your
nostrils
and
a
bridle
in
your
lips
,
and
make
you
bring
it
backe
againe
the
same
way
that
you
carried
it
out
,
Or
doe
you
not
doubt
of
his
power
and
abilitie
to
doe
it
,
but
of
his
truth
,
and
because
,
as
you
imagine
,
hee
doth
not
,
therefore
will
not
returne
this
euill
on
your
heades
?
Adam
might
as
well
haue
argued
against
Gods
truth
who
sayd
,
what
day
thou
shalt
eat
of
that
apple
thou
shalt
surely
dye
,
for
he
died
not
that
day
,
but
became
mortall
and
was
sure
to
die
,
and
as
I
may
say
,
fell
into
a
consumption
,
which
left
him
not
vntill
the
houre
of
his
death
.
And
I
doubt
not
to
affirme
that
Gods
punishments
are
already
begun
vpon
vs
,
and
although
as
yet
they
are
but
medicinae
,
non
poenae
;
medicines
,
not
punishments
;
and
God
like
a
good
Phisition
giueth
vs
sometimes
sharpe
potions
to
recouer
our
health
;
that
is
suffereth
vs
to
haue
detrimentum
in
minori
bono
,
And
I
tell
you
true
,
it
is
no
good
signe
or
argument
of
Gods
loue
to
vs
,
that
hee
suffereth
such
sinnes
,
such
capitall
sinnes
to
raigne
amongst
vs
without
their
due
punishment
;
For
those
whom
he
loueth
not
(
as
the
Author
of
the
Machabees
saith
)
hee
forbeareth
vntil
they
come
to
the
fulnes
of
their
sinne
;
but
it
is
a
token
of
his
goodnesse
and
loue
(
saith
hee
)
to
a
nation
,
not
to
suffer
sins
long
to
continue
,
but
straight
way
to
punish
them
;
as
we
finde
in
the
children
of
Israell
his
elect
people
,
who
suffered
more
temporall
punishments
for
their
sinnes
than
the
most
Idolatrous
nations
,
whom
hee
reserued
to
a
finall
destruction
.
And
therefore
triumph
not
in
your
sinnes
,
nor
comfort
your selues
in
this
impunity
;
for
it
is
an
argument
that
you
are
out
of
Gods
fauour
,
and
that
when
hee
striketh
hee
will
strike
you
home
;
when
his
anger
is
lenta
,
slowe
,
thenit
is
magna
,
&
tarditatem
supplicij
grauitate
compensat
,
and
requiteth
the
slacknesse
of
the
punishment
with
the
waight
thereof
.
And
it
is
most
true
and
very
obseruable
that
Iulius
Caesar
said
to
the
Embassadours
of
the
Switzers
,
That
it
is
a
common
custome
with
God
to
suffer
those
whom
hee
loueth
not
,
but
intendeth
to
punish
,
to
enioy
peace
and
rest
,
and
wealth
,
and
pleasure
,
and
aboundance
for
a
long
time
,
Quo
grauius
ex
commutatione
rerum
doleant
,
Wherefore
to
conclude
,
seeing
this
buying
and
selling
of
sheepe
and
oxen
,
which
were
for
sacrifice
,
and
was
a
farre
lesse
sinne
then
our
buying
and
selling
of
spirituall
things
,
was
so
odious
to
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
that
first
of
all
other
things
he
reformed
that
,
and
that
diuers
times
,
and
by
force
and
violence
,
and
by
miracle
;
seeing
by
the
opinion
of
the
Fathers
,
interpreters
and
schoolemen
this
Simonie
is
a
sinne
and
an
heresie
in
Christianitie
intollerable
;
seeing
it
cannot
stand
with
a
common-wealth
,
but
thereby
one
state
will
eate
vp
another
;
learning
and
the
Vniuersities
will
bee
decayed
;
the
Church
bee
supplied
with
ignorant
pastours
;
hospitalitie
remooued
from
the
state
of
the
Cleargie
;
and
to
conclude
,
it
is
a
signe
and
fore-runner
of
some
euill
to
insue
to
the
common-wealth
:
giue
me
leaue
I
beseech
you
honorable
,
worshipfull
,
&c.
who
are
called
,
if
not
inplenitudinem
potestatis
,
vnto
the
fulnesse
of
power
;
yet
to
some
good
measure
of
habilitie
and
power
,
I
haue
beene
somewhat
earnest
and
zealous
against
this
sinne
,
but
maruell
not
at
it
,
Simon
Magus
,
who
according
to
the
place
he
beareth
,
is
not
very
earnest
against
the
committers
of
Simony
.
All
that
wee
can
doe
is
to
speake
vnto
you
out
of
these
places
,
and
that
will
be
the
lesse
regarded
,
because
we
shall
be
thought
to
speake
for
our selues
;
but
I
haue
giuen
you
reasons
why
it
cannot
stand
with
a
common-wealth
,
and
protest
I
speake
it
not
so
much
in
commiseration
of
our
owne
selues
,
who
by
our
couetousnesse
and
ambition
haue
brought
this
euill
vpon
vs
,
and
hauing
guiltie
consciences
haue
blusht
to
reprooue
it
,
as
in
compassion
of
our
successors
who
shall
suffer
for
our
sinnes
,
and
liue
in
an
age
when
the
finger
of
the
sonnes
will
be
heauier
on
them
,
then
the
loynes
of
the
fathers
,
are
now
vpon
vs
;
because
commonly
wicked
parents
bring
forth
progeniem
vitiosiorem
,
An
off
spring
or
progeny
worse
then
themselues
;
when
if
the
ministers
shall
bee
liberally
bred
as
we
haue
beene
,
nescient
fodere
,
They
will
haue
no
skill
to
digge
for
their
liuings
,
and
if
they
know
themselues
and
the
worth
and
dignities
of
their
calling
,
erubescent
egere
,
They
will
blush
and
be
ashamed
to
liue
in
misery
,
and
yet
of
necessitie
will
be
compelled
turpiter
mendicare
,
Micha
,
for
a
sute
of
apparrel
and
meat
and
drinke
.
But
the
time
is
past
,
so
that
I
cannot
stand
vppon
the
second
part
of
my
text
,
which
is
the
reason
why
our
Sauiour
vseth
this
chastisement
vppon
the
prophaners
of
the
Temple
,
which
containeth
matter
of
very
great
and
necessary
obseruation
,
and
offereth
a
larger
discourse
then
this
former
;
this
that
hath
beene
spoken
is
sufficient
to
trie
maisteries
both
with
my
strength
and
your
patience
:
wherefore
because
in
this
one
speech
I
cannot
performe
that
which
I
first
intended
,
as
S.
Bernard
said
in
the
like
case
,
facio
finem
vbi
non
est
finis
,
FINIS
.
