God
commeth
from
Teman
,
and
the
holie
one
from
mount
Paran
,
Selah
,
His
glorie
couereth
the
Heauens
,
and
the
earth
is
full
of
his
praise
.
THe
Lord
vouchsafing
a
long
and
most
louing
visitation
to
the
people
of
Iuda
and
Ierusalem
(
men
and
brethron
in
the
Lord
beloued
)
and
therein
a
franke
&
gratious
tender
of
mercie
and
sauing
health
by
the
mynisterie
of
the
Prophets
.
Such
notwithstanding
was
their
ingratitude
and
stubbornes
,
that
no
Caueat
coulde
warne
,
nor
admonition
pearse
them
,
no
lenitie
could
bende
,
nor
seueritie
breake
them
.
But
wretchedly
they
would
enter
into
opposicion
against
their
God
,
and
wilfully
runne
headlong
vpon
the
pykes
of
his
displeasure
:
Whereupon
he
is
constrained
to
procéede
to
execution
of
iustice
against
their
rebellion
,
and
to
this
end
(
as
an
instrument
for
the
nonce
)
stirreth
vp
Nabucadnesser
the
great
king
of
Babell
,
who
in
rage
and
furie
(
with
his
Caldean
armie
)
inuading
their
countrie
,
most
lamentably
sacketh
&
spoileth
the
land
of
Iudea
with
fire
and
sworde
,
and
marching
on
with
his
cruell
band
towarde
the
holie
Citie
,
when
by
length
of
siege
he
had
filled
her
families
with
famine
and
hunger
,
&
her
streetes
with
howling
&
wringing
of
hands
at
the
head
of
euery
corner
,
De
profundis
and
prayer
shoulde
arise
,
It
is
vnlike
(
nay
vnpossible
)
O
Lorde
,
that
thou
(
who
in
mercie
hast
numbred
the
haires
of
our
heades
)
shouldest
once
forgeat
or
forsake
that
people
,
But
this
Nation
of
the
Iewes
,
is
that
people
,
for
whose
sake
thou
hast
wrought
manye
and
marueylous
thinges
in
tyme
past
:
Therefore
vnlike
,
Oh
Lorde
(
nay
vnpossible
)
it
is
that
thou
shouldest
nowe
forget
or
forsake
this
people
,
or
suffer
them
to
be
swallowed
vp
with
sorrowes
in
Babylon
.
The
Prophet
hauing
thus
handle
this
argument
before
,
commeth
nowe
to
prooue
the
Minor
or
latter
proposition
by
sounde
demonstrations
drawen
from
the
seuerall
workes
,
wonderfully
brought
to
passe
in
fauour
of
this
Nation
.
And
(
as
the
worthiest
,
and
for
the
excellencie
thereof
)
hee
firste
of
all
propoundeth
the
giuing
of
the
Lawe
in
the
texte
which
I
haue
taken
,
which
may
be
reduced
to
this
forme
.
That
people
to
whome
the
Lorde
vouchsafed
(
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
)
the
giuing
of
the
Lawe
,
with
an
absolute
abridgement
of
his
owne
blessed
will
,
so
precisely
written
with
his
owne
hande
,
and
so
solemply
promulgate
in
his
owne
presence
,
when
his
glorie
couered
the
heauens
,
and
the
earth
was
full
of
his
praise
.
The
same
doubtles
is
the
chosen
inheritance
and
peculier
people
of
God
.
But
in
fauour
of
this
people
of
the
Iewes
,
God
commeth
from
Teman
,
and
the
holie
one
from
mount
Paran
,
where
in
thunder
and
wonder
the
Decalogue
&
Law
of
Commandements
was
first
promulgate
and
deliuered
.
Therefore
doubtles
this
people
is
the
chosen
inheritance
and
peculier
people
of
God
,
whom
(
by
consequent
)
he
will
neuer
forget
nor
forsake
in
their
afflictions
,
sith
in
their
fauour
and
for
this
peoples
sake
God
commeth
from
Teman
,
and
the
holie
one
from
mount
Paran
,
&c.
Which
wordes
(
my
thought
)
do
imparte
a
secret
(
but
verie
sweete
)
allusion
vnto
Moses
speach
,
in
affection
iumping
right
,
and
in
phrase
somewhat
neare
with
our
Prophet
,
when
vpon
his
death
bed
,
and
in
his
last
farewell
to
the
people
,
reisysing
in
his
soule
at
the
remembrance
of
Gods
mercies
so
bountifully
extended
towards
this
nation
(
ayming
herein
especially
at
the
giuing
of
the
Law
)
saith
he
The
Lorde
came
from
Smay
and
rose
vp
from
Seir
vnto
them
he
appeared
clearely
from
mount
Paran
and
came
with
ten
thousands
of
Angels
,
and
a
fierie
lawe
at
his
right
hand
.
Where
first
the
occasion
of
the
words
(
in
m●
vnderstanding
)
offereth
two
things
for
our
b●●rning
in
Habacuk
his
example
before
we
come
to
handle
the
text
it selfe
.
The
first
is
his
great
and
tender
care
for
and
in
the
Churches
behalfe
,
expressed
by
his
ardent
affection
in
bemoning
her
calamitie
(
onus
)
a
burthen
vpon
his
heart
,
And
first
the
Prophets
sweete
affection
towardes
the
Church
and
people
of
God
,
a
(
speciall
good
part
alwayes
in
a
good
Pastor
)
teacheth
mynisters
of
the
worde
,
whatsoeuer
they
beare
,
not
alone
to
be
instant
in
season
and
out
of
season
vpon
their
seuerall
charge
,
Anatheman
esse
,
and
to
be
separated
from
God
,
if
thereby
he
might
reconcile
the
Hebrewes
his
kinsmen
after
the
flesh
.
And
verily
this
is
the
graund
charge
(
fuller
of
affection
than
repiticion
)
which
the
prince
of
Pastors
vrged
with
vehemencie
vpon
Peter
:
Againe
,
in
the
course
of
the
Prophet
,
Maiestrates
may
also
learne
to
whet
their
affectious
,
to
become
more
zealous
and
truely
religious
,
carefull
to
benefite
the
Church
,
and
to
further
the
course
of
the
Gospell
.
They
may
not
in
imitation
of
king
Hamon
deface
the
mynisterie
,
S.
Ambrose
graceth
Theodosius
the
Emperour
with
rare
commendations
,
in
this
especially
,
that
vpon
his
death-bed
and
to
his
last
breath
,
his
chiefe
care
was
spent
for
the
peace
and
good
estate
of
the
Church
.
Among
the
worthie
vertues
of
King
Edgar
(
registred
to
his
renowme
)
his
godly
care
and
good
affection
towarde
the
Church
is
especially
obserued
in
the
storie
of
his
deedes
,
who
hauing
resigned
his
life
&
cast
off
his
Crowne
and
princely
arraye
,
a
learned
man
of
that
time
(
lest
his
fame
should
perish
)
clad
his
bodie
with
an
honorable
Epitath
,
and
fit
for
the
herse
of
a
King
,
wherein
I
finde
thus
much
for
the
present
purpose
.
Templa
Deo
,
Templis
Monachos
,
Monachis
dedit
agros
;
Nequitie
lapsum
,
Iusticieque
locum
.
First
,
he
was
a
builder
of
Churches
,
but
so
be
verie
fewe
.
Secondly
,
he
was
a
carefull
Patrone
to
implant
good
ministers
(
call
them
Monkes
if
ye
will
)
in
these
Churches
,
but
so
do
not
manie
.
Thirdly
,
he
was
a
liberall
geuer
of
landes
and
possessions
to
mainteine
these
ministers
,
but
so
do
not
anie
.
The
Tombs
of
our
time
are
faire
adorned
with
verses
&
flags
,
&
ennobled
with
Armes
and
Crest
,
but
a
man
may
seeke
all
the
dayes
of
his
life
,
and
search
al
the
graues
of
the
deade
,
and
yet
faile
to
finde
a
like
president
of
pietie
.
Well
,
let
all
people
(
of
what
sort
or
sexe
soeuer
,
learne
in
these
so
honorable
examples
to
hallowe
their
firste
thoughtes
,
and
to
dedicate
their
last
care
,
to
the
Church
,
and
for
religions
sake
,
as
esteeming
&
setting
a
dearer
price
vpon
heauenly
than
earthly
,
eternall
than
temporall
things
.
So
shall
all
grubbing
Patrons
of
benefices
,
with
their
sacrilegious
brokers
whatsoeuer
,
learne
at
last
(
except
they
be
shameles
and
past
grace
)
to
reforme
their
griedie
affections
(
wherin
they
haue
swallowed
a
great
parte
of
the
Churches
patrimonie
)
and
begin
in
time
to
yelde
her
(
at
last
)
her
owne
againe
.
A
thing
,
in
trueth
,
rather
to
be
wished
than
expected
.
Sith
not
the
vulgus
alone
,
but
men
of
greatest
authoritie
,
&
by
your
leaue
,
men
of
great
sinceritie
(
as
they
will
seeme
)
haue
their
hande
in
the
spoils
,
and
are
found
guiltie
of
this
trespas
.
Wee
onely
strike
the
eare
with
a
vanishing
voyce
,
it
is
the
Lord
that
must
touch
the
heart
with
an
effectuall
feeling
,
Concerning
the
second
obseruation
,
to
wite
,
the
Prophets
confidence
&c.
True
it
is
,
S.
Paul
,
therefore
iustified
by
faith
:
We
are
at
peace
with
God
,
through
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
&c.
yea
,
it
is
God
that
iustifieth
,
and
who
shal
condemne
.
There
is
now
no
condemnation
to
those
that
be
ingraffed
into
Christ
&c.
In
which
sweete
confidence
,
we
shall
attaine
the
quiet
rest
&
blessed
securitie
of
Gods
saintes
.
The
knowledge
and
assurance
whereof
,
God
for
his
Christes
sake
,
daily
more
and
more
increase
confirme
and
seale
vp
vpon
our
consciences
to
his
euerlasting
glorie
and
our
endlesse
comfort
,
Hetherto
of
the
occasion
.
Nowe
a
worde
or
twaine
of
the
Phrase
,
and
so
to
my
text
.
God
commeth
from
Teman
.
Blind
Balaam
did
say
,
&
therefore
could
say
:
Moreouer
,
marke
I
praye
,
in
the
Prophets
phrase
,
the
transposition
of
the
Temple
,
where
speaking
of
the
glorious
presence
of
God
in
the
Mount
at
the
giuing
of
the
Lawe
,
which
was
long
and
many
a
day
before
the
time
of
this
prophesie
.
Neuertheles
,
he
setteth
it
downe
here
as
a
thing
in
esse
and
fresh
in
viewe
before
their
eyes
:
God
commeth
.
Where
I
take
this
to
be
his
drift
:
namely
,
to
assertaine
this
people
(
right
shortly
to
be
plunged
in
distresse
)
that
God
is
nowe
as
neare
,
and
euen
comming
,
to
releiue
and
release
them
in
Babylon
,
as
euer
in
former
time
,
God
commeth
.
Yea
,
when
the
spite
and
rage
of
the
enimie
is
at
the
highest
,
and
the
calamitie
and
grief
of
the
godly
at
the
heauiest
,
then
God
commeth
.
A
noble
lesson
,
fit
for
Princes
&
Ladies
,
for
rich
and
poore
men
,
for
Maiestrates
,
ministers
and
euery
Christian
,
sith
no
worldly
wight
(
conuersing
in
this
vale
of
teares
)
can
purchase
immunitie
from
thrall
and
humane
miserie
.
Art
thou
in
pouertie
,
in
sicknes
,
in
sorrowe
,
in
prison
,
in
daunger
,
yea
,
in
death
it selfe
,
God
commeth
,
at
whose
presence
,
sorrowe
departeth
,
and
dread
shall
flye
backe
:
For
he
is
a
God
almightie
,
no
power
can
let
him
:
a
God
all
mercifull
,
no
stay
can
preuent
him
.
He
commeth
skipping
ouer
the
mountaines
,
God
commeth
.
A
short
but
verie
sweete
lesson
,
and
sweeter
than
the
Lute
to
driue
dumps
from
the
heart
,
and
to
abandon
in
wealth
wickednes
,
in
health
wantonnes
,
in
mirth
forgetfulnes
,
in
want
distrustfulnes
,
in
losse
pensiuenes
,
and
in
death
fearfulnes
.
Againe
,
God
commeth
.
Howe
dare
then
these
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
proceede
in
their
cruelties
?
How
dare
bloudie
Antiochus
afflict
the
Church
?
how
dare
cruel
Iezabel
murther
the
Prophets
how
dare
prowd
Sennacherib
blaspheme
the
lining
God
?
God
commeth
,
a
consuming
fire
,
a
terrible
Iudge
,
a
fierce
reuenger
.
And
now
shal
the
wicked
find
it
as
true
as
terrible
,
The
first
,
of
the
person
:
Who
commeth
?
God
.
The
second
,
of
the
place
:
from
whence
?
From
Teman
,
&
mount
Paran
.
The
thirde
,
of
the
manner
how
:
in
glory
?
For
his
glorie
couereth
the
Heauens
.
The
fourth
&
last
,
the
end
,
and
why
he
commeth
?
That
the
earth
may
be
ful
of
his
praise
.
Who
commeth
:
Whence
,
How
,
and
why
he
commeth
.
Concerning
the
first
,
(
to
wit
,
of
the
person
)
I
minde
not
to
propound
Hiero
his
question
to
Simonides
:
A
second
and
safer
way
to
better
our
knowledge
and
benefit
our selues
in
this
behalfe
,
is
by
the
names
of
God
,
whereby
it
pleaseth
him
to
manifest
(
in
some
sort
)
his
existence
,
all
sufficiencie
and
mairstie
,
as
when
he
saith
to
Abraham
:
I
am
Schad
dai
,
To
Moses
,
I
am
Iehouah
,
the
essentiall
name
of
God
,
Uerye
comfortable
be
these
also
to
expresse
and
manifest
the
great
care
and
goodnes
of
our
God
,
And
now
to
the
second
,
to
wit
,
of
the
place
.
From
Teman
and
from
mount
Paran
.
Where
,
whether
you
take
Taeman
for
that
Citie
of
Idumaea
buylded
by
Teman
one
of
the
Tukes
of
the
sonnes
of
Esau
,
and
threatened
by
Ieremie
with
vtter
extirpation
,
Remember
the
children
of
Edom
,
O
Lord
,
in
the
daie
of
Ierusalem
&c.
Or
else
,
as
spoken
by
waye
of
allusion
to
the
lande
of
Canaan
,
which
in
respect
of
mount
Sinay
lay
South
:
For
so
Tremaellius
translateth
it
,
and
others
from
the
Hebrewe
phrase
,
do
seeme
to
insinuate
.
And
as
touching
Paran
,
whether
you
take
it
as
it
is
described
for
a
wast
and
large
Wildernes
extended
from
Egypt
vnto
mount
Sinay
and
so
towarde
Canaan
,
eyther
else
properly
for
a
promontorie
and
hill
in
this
desert
,
taking
denomination
of
the
same
and
adiacent
vnto
Sinay
where
the
Lawe
was
giuen
,
which
by
the
text
and
the
place
of
Moses
cited
before
seemeth
moste
probable
.
Or
whether
you
will
thus
interprete
it
:
God
Elohah
,
commeth
from
Taeman
with
a
reuenging
hande
,
hauing
inkindled
a
fire
in
Teman
which
shall
deuoure
the
Pallaces
of
Bosrha
,
and
God
Sanctus
commeth
from
mount
Paran
with
a
releeuing
and
holye
hande
to
deliuer
a
holye
Lawe
,
and
to
a
holye
people
.
Sancti
estote
,
quoniam
sanctus
sum
:
For
holinesse
best
becommeth
his
house
and
people
for
euer
.
Howe
so
euer
(
I
saye
)
you
list
to
vnderstande
it
.
(
For
I
list
not
to
bee
curious
in
scanning
of
places
,
or
describing
their
scituations
.
)
This
I
take
to
be
the
Prophets
meaning
:
namely
,
to
extoll
the
tender
mercies
of
the
Lord
so
mightily
deliuering
,
and
so
mercifully
releeuing
his
people
in
their
so
long
and
tedious
iourneys
through
the
desart
,
where
hee
fedd
them
from
heauen
,
watred
them
from
the
rockes
,
bare
them
in
his
armes
as
a
father
doth
his
sonne
:
carried
them
on
Egles
wings
most
swiftly
and
safely
from
all
perill
and
daunger
,
and
that
which
more
is
,
and
most
excellent
aboue
al
,
vouchsafing
them
in
this
place
the
Decalogue
and
Lawe
of
Commaundements
to
be
their
wisedome
,
direction
and
sanctification
euen
all
the
dayes
of
their
life
.
And
here
of
purpose
I
will
passe
by
the
matter
and
manner
of
Gods
mercies
in
the
deliuerance
of
this
people
.
For
why
should
I
insist
vpon
the
point
,
which
is
the
verie
ground
of
my
song
,
and
foundation
of
all
my
building
this
daye
,
and
will
take
occasion
rather
to
speake
somewhat
of
the
place
of
Gods
presence
to
his
people
,
of
the
place
of
his
worship
:
of
preaching
,
hearing
,
praying
,
&
communicating
,
of
administration
of
Sacraments
,
and
participation
of
the
rites
of
holie
Church
.
Where
first
of
all
I
must
freely
confesse
(
and
most
true
it
is
)
that
euery
Christian
hath
a
Temple
within
him
.
Euerie
Temple
hath
an
Altar
.
Euerie
Altar
hath
a
Sacrifice
.
Euerie
place
in
dedicate
to
Gods
seruice
.
Euerie
beléeuer
is
a
Priest
to
offer
,
and
for
euery
sort
of
men
lifting
vp
pure
hands
without
wrath
and
contention
.
This
is
the
doctrine
of
the
Holye
ghost
scattered
throughout
Gods
booke
,
&
herein
blessed
be
God
,
we
are
farre
from
Donatisme
,
and
tying
of
the
worship
of
God
to
place
or
person
.
And
yet
for
all
that
,
the
holye
assemblies
&
congregations
of
Christians
to
preaching
,
praier
and
publique
celebracion
of
the
seruice
of
God
,
and
that
in
the
Temple
sacred
and
dedicated
to
this
vse
,
is
a
thing
by
so
often
repetition
commanded
and
commended
of
God
himselfe
in
holye
Scripture
,
as
his
own
ordinance
,
a
necessitate
mandati
,
Ezechiels
oracle
fitteth
vs
also
in
this
rase
:
a
praemils
.
But
what
shoulde
I
speake
of
the
sweete
varietie
and
riche
plentie
of
those
plants
and
flowers
in
this
heauenly
Paradize
(
odor
vitae
ad
vitam
)
watered
by
the
dewe
of
Heauen
,
flowing
with
streames
of
comfort
to
the
wounded
conscience
,
the
religious
and
diligent
frequenting
of
these
heli●
assemblies
,
where
Christ
hath
promised
hi●
presence
to
two
or
three
gathered
in
his
name
.
Whither
you
are
daily
tolled
to
holy
exercise
of
pietie
and
deuocion
for
the
better
increase
of
your
knowledge
and
growing
vp
in
the
feare
and
nurture
of
the
Lorde
.
And
heere
I
doe
reiect
the
franticke
and
scismaticall
opinions
of
the
Anabaptisticall
feet
commonly
called
Brownisses
,
who
haue
wilfully
deuided
and
rent
themselues
from
oure
congregations
:
denye
vs
to
haue
any
Church
:
contempne
our
Sacramentes
,
and
condemne
our
Religion
as
Antichristian
.
The
interim
betaking
themselues
to
priuate
meetings
,
and
seerete
conuenticles
in
corners
.
Oh
how
farre
be
these
vermines
from
King
Dauids
spirit
and
ioye
.
One
thing
haue
I
desired
,
Leratus
sum
in
his
,
O
howe
farre
he
these
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
from
Theodosius
the
Emperour
his
spirite
and
sorrowe
,
who
(
being
excommunicate
for
his
of
,
fence
at
the
great
mutanie
in
Thessalia
by
Ambrose
Bishop
of
Millayne
,
Iudas
Peccaui
come
too
late
:
Then
let
the
Maiestrate
(
by
whose
negligence
this
sect
monstrously
swelleth
with
daylye
increase
in
diners
parts
of
the
land
)
Haue
an
eye
this
waye
,
lest
foolish
pittie
,
spoyle
a
citie
,
and
pester
a
comon
wealth
with
a
people
full
of
blasphemies
against
God
,
and
not
all
void
of
treasons
against
the
King
.
Dionisius
the
Bishop
of
Alexandria
for
bare
not
to
tell
Nouatus
to
his
teeth
,
that
the
sinne
is
greater
to
breake
the
vnitie
and
peare
of
the
Church
,
a
paena
in
the
example
of
Chore
,
that
quoth
he
was
punished
with
the
sworde
,
but
this
with
the
yawning
of
the
earth
.
Et
non
dubitatur
scaeleratius
esse
commissum
quod
grauius
erat
vindicatum
.
That
,
saith
hee
,
was
more
haynously
committed
,
which
was
more
heauily
punished
.
And
now
to
the
thirde
circumstance
,
namely
the
manner
of
Gods
comming
in
these
wordes
:
His
glorie
couereth
the
Heauens
.
Which
as
you
see
are
discerned
from
the
former
parte
of
the
texte
,
Men
haue
written
much
of
Xerxes
fourth
comming
with
his
Nauies
,
Alexander
with
his
Armies
,
and
Salomon
in
his
royaltie
,
their
fame
flewe
farre
,
and
their
puissance
was
renowmed
,
yet
were
they
but
men
,
whose
breath
was
in
their
nostrels
,
their
power
was
limitted
,
their
arme
was
but
flesh
,
their
pomp
was
but
a
flower
,
soone
changed
into
dust
:
yea
,
all
was
but
vanitie
and
lighter
then
vanitie
it self
.
But
when
God
commeth
foorth
,
the
heauens
melted
,
and
the
earth
shooke
(
saith
Dauid
)
euen
as
Sinay
also
was
moued
at
the
presence
of
the
God
of
Iacob
.
God
commeth
from
Teman
,
and
thus
came
the
holy
one
from
mount
Paran
.
Againe
,
the
people
stricken
with
astonishment
,
stoode
trembling
about
the
hill
,
not
daring
to
aproch
,
but
(
quaking
)
crye
vnto
Moses
,
Obe
thou
our
spokesman
,
or
else
we
dye
.
The
rattling
sharme
of
the
Trumpe
calling
on
,
and
summoning
apparance
,
seemed
to
resemble
the
daye
of
doome
,
when
the
heauie
sentence
(
goe
ye
cursed
into
euerlasting
fire
)
shall
be
denounced
against
the
wicked
,
Yea
,
Now
,
where
Moses
calleth
the
Law
Iugum
ferreum
,
a
hard
,
a
heauie
&
Iron
yoke
.
Iugum
suaue
,
a
sweete
,
a
light
&
easie
yoke
.
S.
Paul
calleth
the
Lawe
Ministram
mortis
,
The
minister
of
death
.
He
saith
,
The
earth
is
full
of
his
praise
.
Wherein
I
will
be
short
,
and
conclude
with
an
application
of
the
matter
of
this
my
tedious
discourse
to
the
time
and
state
wherin
we
liue
,
and
so
will
I
bequeath
you
to
the
Lorde
.
Where
first
the
point
I
touched
in
a
worde
at
my
entrance
(
if
ye
remember
)
to
wit
,
the
excellencie
of
this
worke
and
mercie
of
God
,
towardes
the
Nation
and
people
of
the
Iewes
,
in
gining
them
the
Lawe
,
commeth
nowe
to
a
further
consideration
,
and
calleth
vs
(
except
we
will
be
like
Horse
and
Moyle
that
haue
no
vnderstanding
,
But
(
alas
and
thrise
alas
therefore
)
the
Lord
hath
a
quarrell
(
yea
a
double
quarrel
)
against
our
lande
,
the
trespas
(
yea
trespas
vpon
trespas
)
is
committed
in
Citie
and
Countren
,
and
at
the
corners
of
each
streete
,
the
Indictment
is
drawen
against
vs
,
and
the
declaration
put
vpon
the
file
by
the
Prophet
Hoseah
(
as
the
Lordes
actuarie
)
in
this
sort
.
Neque
Imperiale
est
,
dicendi
libertatem
negare
,
Neque
sacerdotale
quod
sentiat
non
dicere
.
Neither
becommeth
it
the
Emperour
to
forbidde
free
speach
:
Nor
beseemeth
it
the
preacher
to
forbeare
the
presence
,
I
shall
be
content
to
ouerpasse
the
grosse
enormities
whereof
the
Holye
Ghost
doeth
fare
the
multitude
in
the
wordes
of
the
Prophet
:
Which
palpable
offences
be
daily
whipped
out
of
our
streetes
,
and
commonly
condemned
at
open
Barre
.
And
I
wil
come
to
lurking
and
lurching
sinnes
,
euen
to
trespas
of
bloud
,
not
so
easely
discerned
,
nor
so
seuerely
punished
,
and
yet
(
by
your
leaue
)
more
accustoniably
committed
,
and
dailye
perpetrated
amongest
vs
.
For
howsoeuer
men
can
washe
with
Pilate
and
ouerweene
to
haue
cleane
handes
and
cleare
hearts
from
this
accusation
of
bloud
,
Againe
,
Draco
his
lawes
were
saide
to
be
written
with
bloud
,
they
were
so
forced
with
cruelties
&
heauie
impositions
.
Our
lawes
of
England
,
blessed
be
God
,
are
good
and
renowmed
,
yet
is
it
to
be
feared
,
that
for
want
of
due
execution
,
they
(
sometime
)
become
like
Solons
cobwebs
,
and
too
often
,
vnder
pretext
of
iustice
,
hard
iniuries
be
vrged
against
the
poore
.
The
Emperour
Titus
who
deemed
the
day
lost
,
wherein
he
did
not
good
,
)
desired
and
was
inuested
with
the
dignitie
of
Priesthood
,
to
the
end
to
keepe
him selfe
from
oppressions
,
from
cruelties
and
shedding
of
bloud
.
A
memorable
and
right
honourable
president
for
Iudges
,
esperially
,
and
men
of
authoritie
.
Yet
is
it
to
be
feared
,
wee
haue
fewe
of
Titus
minde
at
this
day
in
the
laud.
The
Iewes
made
no
conscience
to
shead
innocent
bloud
:
they
monyed
Iudas
to
betray
his
master
,
such
was
their
crueltie
.
But
when
(
with
a
wounded
conscience
)
he
threw
it
backe
vpon
them
;
their
money
might
not
come
in
their
treasurie
:
Oh
my
beloued
,
it
is
to
be
feared
,
wee
haue
many
such
fieldes
in
England
.
Bloudie
fieldes
,
bloudie
vineyardes
,
bloudie
cities
,
bloudie
houses
,
bloudie
Maiestrates
,
bloudie
Ministers
,
bloudie
merchants
,
bloudie
Lawyers
,
bloudie
men
and
bloudie
women
,
bloudie
handes
and
bloudie
platters
,
and
the
price
of
bloud
within
our
walles
.
The
Lorde
of
hoastes
manaced
of
late
to
stretch
the
lyne
of
Samaria
ouer
the
Realme
of
England
,
and
to
sound
our
Cities
and
measure
our
families
with
the
Plummet
of
the
house
of
Ahab
,
and
not
to
leaue
one
to
make
water
against
a
wall
.
While
the
daunger
was
fresh
,
wee
were
souddeinly
daunted
,
and
began
to
curse
the
dayes
spent
in
vanitie
and
wickednesse
,
Non
veniet
super
nos
malum
,
Non
vtbs
non

,
non

Iuditii

No

,
no

no

nor

,
that
time
of
grace
contemnd
:
But
heauie
iudgements
fell
for
payt
,
and
wofull
was
the
end
.
When
threatenings
would
not
serue
,
nor
th'
old
world
could
be
warned

FINIS
