OF
A
KINGS
CHRISTIAN
DVETIE
TO
WARDS
GOD
.
THE
FIRST
BOOKE
.
AS
HE
CANNOT
BE
thought
worthie
to
rule
and
command
others
,
that
cannot
rule
and
dantone
his
owne
proper
affections
and
vnreasonable
appetites
,
The
true
grounde
of
good
gouernment
so
can
he
not
be
thought
worthie
to
gouerne
a
Christian
people
knowing
and
fearing
God
,
that
in
his
own
person
and
harte
,
feareth
not
and
loueth
not
the
Diuine
Majestie
.
Neither
can
any
thing
in
his
gouernment
succeed
wel
with
him
(
deuise
and
laboure
as
he
list
)
as
comming
from
a
filthy
spring
,
if
his
person
be
vnsanctified
:
Psalme
127.1
for
(
as
that
royall
prophet
saith
)
Except
the
Lorde
build
the
house
,
they
laboure
in
vaine
that
builde
it
:
except
the
Lord
keepe
the
Citie
,
the
keepers
watche
it
in
vaine
:
in
respect
the
blessing
of
God
hath
onlie
power
to
giue
the
successe
thereunto
:
and
as
Paul
saith
,
1.
Cor
.
3.6
.
he
planteth
,
Apollos
watereth
;
but
it
is
GOD
only
that
giueth
the
increase
.
Therefore
(
my
Sonne
)
first
of
all
things
,
learne
to
know
and
loue
that
God
,
Double
bonde
of
a
Prince
to
God
.
whome-to
ye
haue
a
double
obligation
;
first
,
for
that
he
made
you
a
man
;
and
next
,
for
that
he
made
you
a
little
God
to
sitte
on
his
throne
,
and
rule
ouer
other
men
.
Remember
,
that
as
in
dignitie
he
hath
erected
you
aboue
others
,
so
ought
ye
in
thankfulnesse
towardes
him
,
goe
as
farre
beyond
all
others
.
A
moate
in
anothers
eye
,
is
a
beame
into
yours
:
a
blemish
in
another
,
is
a
leprouse
byle
into
you
:
and
a
veniall
sinne
(
as
the
papists
call
it
)
in
another
,
is
a
greate
cryme
into
you
.
Thinke
not
therefore
,
The
greatnes
of
the
fault
of
a
Prince
.
that
the
highnes
of
your
dignity
diminisheth
your
faults
(
muche
lesse
giueth
you
a
licence
to
sinne
)
but
by
the
contrarie
,
your
fault
shall
be
aggrauated
,
according
to
the
height
of
your
dignity
;
any
sinne
that
ye
committe
,
not
being
a
single
sinne
procuring
but
the
fall
of
one
;
but
being
an
exemplare
sinne
,
&
therefore
drawing
with
it
the
whole
multitude
to
be
guiltie
of
the
same
.
Remember
then
,
that
this
glistering
worldly
glorie
of
Kings
,
is
giuen
them
by
God
,
The
true
glory
of
Kings
.
to
teache
them
to
preasse
so
to
glister
&
shine
before
their
people
,
in
al
works
of
sanctification
&
righteousnes
,
that
their
persons
as
brighte
lampes
of
godlines
and
vertue
may
,
going
in
&
out
before
their
people
,
giue
light
to
all
their
steppes
.
Remember
also
,
that
by
the
right
knowledge
,
and
feare
of
God
(
whiche
is
the
beginning
of
wisedome
,
Prov.
9.10
.
as
Salomon
saith
)
ye
shall
know
all
the
thinges
necessary
for
the
discharge
of
your
duety
,
both
as
a
christian
,
&
as
a
King
;
seeing
in
him
,
as
in
a
mirrour
,
the
course
of
all
earthly
things
,
whereof
he
is
the
spring
and
onely
moouer
.
Now
,
The
means
to
know
god
the
onely
way
to
bring
you
to
this
knowledge
,
is
diligently
to
reade
his
word
,
and
earnestly
to
pray
for
the
right
vnderstanding
thereof
.
Searche
the
Scriptures
,
Iohn
.
5.39
.
saith
Christ
,
for
they
beare
testimonie
of
me
:
and
the
whole
Scripture
,
saith
Paul
,
is
giuen
by
inspiration
of
God
,
&
is
profitable
to
teache
,
to
conuince
,
2.
Tim
.

.
to
correcte
,
&
to
instructe
in
righteousnes
;
that
the
man
of
God
may
be
absolute
,
being
made
perfite
vnto
all
good
workes
.
And
most
properlie
of
any
other
,
belongeth
the
reading
thereof
vnto
Kings
,
Deut
.
17.
since
in
that
parte
of
Scripture
,
where
the
godly
Kings
are
first
made
mention
off
,
that
were
ordained
to
rule
ouer
the
people
of
God
,
there
is
an
expresse
and
most
notable
exhortation
and
commandement
giuen
them
,
to
read
and
meditate
in
the
lawe
of
God
.
I
ioyne
to
this
,
the
careful
hearing
of
the
doctrine
with
attendance
and
reuerence
:
For
faith
commeth
by
hearing
,
Rom.
10.17
.
saith
the
same
Apostle
.
But
aboue
all
,
beware
ye
wreast
not
the
word
to
your
own
appetite
,
as
ouer
many
doe
,
making
it
like
a
Bell
to
sound
as
ye
please
to
interprete
:
but
by
the
contrary
,
frame
all
your
affections
,
to
follow
precisely
the
rule
there
set
downe
.
The
whole
Scripture
cheefly
contayneth
two
things
:
a
command
,
Wherein
chieflie
the
whole
Scripture
consisteth
.
and
a
prohibition
;
to
do
suche
things
,
&
to
abstaine
from
the
contrarie
.
Obey
in
both
;
neither
thinke
it
ynough
to
abstaine
from
euill
,
&
doe
no
good
:
nor
thinke
not
that
if
ye
doe
many
good
things
,
it
maye
serue
you
for
a
cloake
to
mixe
euill
turnes
therewith
.
And
as
in
these
two
poyntes
,
the
whole
Scripture
principally
consisteth
,
Two
degrees
of
the
seruice
of
God
.
so
in
two
degrees
standeth
the
whole
seruice
of
God
by
man
:
interior
,
or
vpwarde
;
exterior
,
or
downewarde
:
the
first
,
by
prayer
in
faith
towardes
God
;
the
next
,
by
workes
flowing
therefra
before
the
worlde
:
whiche
is
nothing
else
,
but
the
exercise
of
Religion
towardes
God
,
and
of
equitie
towardes
your
neighbour
.
As
for
the
particular
poyntes
of
Religion
,
I
neede
not
to
delate
them
;
I
am
no
hypocrite
,
A
reoardable
paterne
.
follow
my
footesteppes
,
and
your
owne
present
education
therein
.
I
thanke
God
,
I
was
neuer
ashamed
to
giue
accounte
of
my
profession
,
howsoeuer
the
malitious
lying
tongues
of
some
haue
traduced
me
:
and
if
my
conscience
had
not
resolued
me
,
that
all
my
Religion
presently
professed
by
me
and
my
kingdome
,
was
grounded
vpon
the
plaine
wordes
of
the
Scripture
,
without
the
whiche
all
points
of
Religion
are
superfluous
,
as
any
thing
contrary
to
the
same
is
abhomination
,
I
had
neuer
outwardly
avowed
it
,
for
pleasure
or
awe
of
any
fleshe
.
And
as
for
the
poyntes
of
equitie
towardes
your
neighbour
(
because
that
will
fall
in
properly
,
vpon
the
second
part
concerning
a
Kings
office
)
I
leaue
it
to
the
owne
roome
.
For
the
firste
parte
then
of
mans
seruice
to
his
God
,
whiche
is
Religion
,
Religion
that
is
,
the
worship
of
God
according
to
his
reuealed
will
,
it
is
wholly
grounded
vpon
the
Scripture
,
as
I
haue
alreadie
saide
,
quickened
by
faith
,
and
conserued
by
conscience
.
For
the
Scripture
,
I
haue
now
spoken
of
it
in
generall
:
but
that
ye
may
the
more
readely
,
make
choise
of
any
parte
thereof
,
for
your
instruction
or
comforte
,
remember
shortly
this
methode
.
The
whole
Scripture
is
dyted
by
Gods
spirit
,
thereby
,
The
methode
of
scripture
.
as
by
his
Iluely
worde
,
to
instruct
and
rule
the
whole
Churche
militant
to
the
end
of
the
worlde
.
It
is
composed
of
two
partes
,
the
Olde
and
new
Testament
.
The
grounde
of
the
former
is
the
Lawe
,
whiche
sheweth
our
sinne
,
and
containeth
justice
:
the
grounde
of
the
other
is
Christ
,
who
pardoning
sinne
containeth
grace
.
The
summe
of
the
Lawe
is
the
ten
Commandementes
,
more
largelie
delated
in
the
bookes
of
Moses
,
Of
the
Lawe
.
interpreted
and
applyed
by
the
Prophets
,
and
by
the
histories
,
ar
the
examples
shewed
of
obedience
or
disobedience
thereto
,
and
what
praemium
or
poena
was
accordingly
giuen
by
God
.
But
because
no
man
was
able
to
keepe
the
Lawe
,
nor
any
parte
thereof
,
it
pleased
God
of
his
infinite
wisdome
and
goodnesse
,
to
incarnate
his
only
Sonne
in
our
nature
,
for
satisfaction
of
his
iustice
in
his
suffering
for
vs
:
that
since
we
could
not
be
saued
by
doing
,
we
might
at
least
,
besaued
by
beleeuing
.
The
grounde
therfore
of
the
word
of
grace
,
Of
Grace
.
is
contained
in
the
foure
histories
of
the
birthe
,
life
,
death
,
resurrection
and
ascention
of
Christ
.
The
larger
interpretation
and
vse
thereof
,
is
contained
in
the
Epistles
of
the
Apostles
:
and
the
practise
in
the
faithfull
or
vnfaithfull
,
with
the
history
of
the
infancy
and
first
progresse
of
the
churche
is
contayned
in
their
Actes
.
Would
ye
then
know
your
sinne
by
the
Lawe
?
Vse
of
the
Lawe
.
read
the
bookes
of
Moses
contayning
it
.
Would
ye
haue
a
commentarie
thereupon
?
Reade
the
Prophets
,
and
likewise
the
bookes
of
the
Prouerbs
&
Ecclesiastes
,
written
by
that
great
paterne
of
wisdome
Salomon
;
whiche
will
not
onlie
serue
you
for
instruction
,
howe
to
walke
in
the
obedience
of
the
Lawe
of
God
,
but
is
also
so
full
of
golden
sentences
,
&
morall
precepts
,
in
all
things
that
can
concerne
your
conuersation
in
the
worlde
,
as
amonge
all
the
prophane
Philosophers
and
Poets
,
ye
shall
not
find
so
riche
a
storehouse
of
precepts
of
naturall
wisedome
,
agreing
with
the
will
&
diuine
wisedome
of
God
.
Would
ye
see
how
good
men
are
rewarded
,
and
wicked
punished
?
looke
the
historicall
partes
of
these
same
bookes
of
Moses
,
together
with
the
histories
of
Iosua
,
the
Iudges
,
Ezra
,
Nehemiah
,
Esther
,
and
Iob
:
but
especiallie
the
bookes
of
the
Kings
,
and
Chronicles
,
wherewith
ye
ought
to
be
familiarly
acquainted
:
for
there
shall
ye
see
your selfe
,
as
in
a
mirrour
,
in
the
catalogue
either
of
the
good
or
the
euill
Kings
.
Would
ye
knowe
the
doctrine
life
and
death
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
?
Vse
of
the
Gospell
.
reade
the
Euangelistes
.
Would
ye
be
more
particularlie
trayned
vp
in
his
Schoole
?
meditate
vpon
the
Epistles
of
the
Apostles
.
And
would
ye
be
acquainted
with
the
practizes
of
that
doctrine
in
the
persons
of
the
primitiue
churche
?
Cast
vp
the
Apostles
Actes
.
And
as
to
the
Apocriphe
bookes
,
I
omitte
them
,
because
I
am
no
Papist
,
as
I
saide
before
,
&
indeed
some
of
them
are
no
wayes
like
the
dytement
of
the
Spirite
of
God
.
But
when
ye
reade
the
Scripture
,
Howe
to
reade
the
Scripture
reade
it
with
a
sanctified
and
chaste
hart
:
admire
reuerently
suche
obscure
places
as
ye
vnderstand
not
,
blaming
only
your
owne
capacitie
:
read
with
delight
the
plaine
places
,
and
studie
carefullye
to
vnderstand
those
that
are
somewhat
difficile
:
preasse
to
be
a
good
textuare
;
for
the
Scripture
is
euer
the
best
interpreter
of
it selfe
.
But
preasse
not
curiously
to
seeke
out
farther
then
is
contained
therein
;
for
that
were
ouer
vnmanerly
a
presumption
,
to
striue
to
be
further
vpon
Gods
secreats
,
then
he
hath
will
ye
be
:
for
what
he
thought
needfull
for
vs
to
knowe
,
that
hath
he
reuealed
there
.
And
delyte
most
in
reading
suche
partes
of
the
Scripture
,
as
may
best
serue
for
your
instruction
in
your
calling
;
rejecting
foolish
curiosities
vpon
genealogies
and
contentions
,
Tit
.
3.9
.
whiche
are
but
vaine
and
profit
not
,
as
Paul
saith
.
Now
,
as
to
Faith
,
whiche
is
the
nourisher
and
quickner
of
Religion
,
Faith
the
nourisher
of
Religion
.
as
I
haue
alreadie
said
,
It
is
a
sure
perswasion
&
apprehension
of
the
promises
of
God
,
applying
them
to
your
soule
:
and
therefore
may
it
iustly
be
called
,
the
golden
chaine
that
linketh
the
faithfull
soule
to
Christ
.
And
because
it
groweth
not
in
our
garden
,
but
is
the
free
gift
of
God
,
Philip
.
1.29
.
as
the
same
Apostle
saith
,
it
muste
be
nourished
by
prayer
,
whiche
is
nothing
else
,
but
a
freindly
talking
with
God
.
As
for
teaching
you
the
forme
of
your
prayers
,
Praier
&
whence
to
learne
the
best
forme
thereof
.
the
Psalmes
of
Dauid
are
the
meetest
schoole-maister
that
ye
can
be
acquainted
with
(
nixt
the
prayer
of
our
Sauiour
,
whiche
is
the
only
rule
of
prayer
)
whereout
of
as
of
most
riche
and
pure
fountaines
,
ye
may
learne
all
forme
of
prayer
necessary
for
your
comfort
at
all
occasions
.
And
so
much
the
fitter
ar
they
for
you
,
then
for
the
common
sorte
,
in
respect
the
composer
thereof
was
a
King
:
&
therefore
best
behoued
to
know
a
Kings
wants
,
&
what
things
were
meetest
to
be
required
by
a
king
at
Gods
hand
for
remedy
thereof
.
Vse
often
to
pray
when
ye
are
quyetest
,
Seuerall
exercise
of
prayer
.
especially
forgette
it
not
in
your
bed
howe
oft
soeuer
ye
doe
it
at
other
times
:
for
publick
prayer
serueth
as
muche
for
example
,
as
for
any
particular
comfort
to
the
supplicant
.
In
your
prayer
,
be
neither
ouer
strange
with
God
,
What
rule
or
regard
to
be
vsed
in
prayer
.
like
the
ignorant
common
sort
,
that
prayeth
nothing
but
out
of
books
;
nor
yet
ouer
homelie
with
him
,
like
some
of
the
vaine
Pharisaicall
puritanes
,
that
thinke
they
rule
him
vpon
their
fingers
.
The
former
way
will
breede
an
vncouth
coldnes
in
you
towardes
him
,
the
other
will
breede
in
you
a
contempt
of
him
.
But
in
your
prayer
to
God
speake
with
all
reuerence
:
for
if
a
subject
,
will
not
speake
but
reuerently
to
a
King
,
muche
lesse
should
any
flesh
presume
to
talke
with
God
as
with
his
companion
.
Craue
in
your
prayer
,
What
to
craue
of
God
.
not
onelie
things
spirituall
,
but
also
things
temporall
,
sometimes
of
greater
,
&
some
times
of
lesse
consequence
;
that
ye
may
lay
vp
in
store
his
grant
of
these
thinges
,
for
confirmation
of
your
faith
,
and
to
be
an
arles-penny
vnto
you
of
his
loue
.
Pray
,
as
ye
find
your
harte
moueth
you
,
pro
re
natà
:
but
see
that
ye
sute
no
vnlawfull
thinges
,
as
reuenge
,
luste
,
or
suche
like
:
for
that
prayer
can
not
come
of
faith
:
Rom.
14.23
.
and
whatsoeuer
is
done
without
faith
is
sinne
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
.
When
ye
obtaine
your
prayer
,

&

assure
your self

God

that
whiche

is
not

and
learne
in

,
so
to
interprete
all
the
aduersities
that
God
shall
send

;
so
shall
ye
in

of

,
not
onlie
be

with

joyfully
lift
vp
your

from

to
the

And

it

so
fall
out
by

,
arme
your selfe
with
the
experience
thereof
againste
the
next
trouble
,
assuring
your selfe
,
thogh
ye
can
not
in
time
of
the
showre
see
through
the
cloud
,
yet
in
the
end
,
shall
ye
find
,
God
sent
it
for
your
weale
,
as

in

And
as
for
conscience
,
Conscience
the
conseruer
of
Religion
.
whiche
I
called
the
conseruer
of
Religion
,
It
is
nothing
else
,
but
the
light
of
knowledge
that
God
hath
planted
in
man
,
whiche
euer
watching
ouer
all
his
actions
,
as
it
beareth
him
a
joyfull
testimonie
when
he
does
right
,
so
choppeth
it
him
with
a
feeling
that
he
hath
done
wrong
,
when
euer
he
committeth
any
sinne
.
And
surely
,
althogh
this
conscience
be
a
great
torture
to
the
wicked
,
yet
is
it
as
great
a
comforte
to
the
godlie
,
if
we
will
consider
it
rightly
.
For
haue
we
not
a
great
aduantage
,
that
haue
within
our selues
while
we
liue

,
a
counte
booke

we

either
at

or

The

.
1.
Tim

.
the
former
is
the
mother
of
Atheisme
,
the
other
of
Heresies
.
By
a
leaprouse
conscience
,
I
meane
a
cauterized
conscience
,
as
Paul
calleth
it
,
being
become
senselesse
of
sinne
,
through
sleeping
in
a
carelesse
security
,
as
King
Dauids
was
,
after
his
murther
&
adultery
,
euer
till
he
was
wakened
by
the
prophet
Nathans
similitude
.
And
by
superstition
,
I
meane
,
when
one
restraines
himselfe
to
any
other
rule
in
the
seruice
of
God
,
then
is
warranted
by
the
worde
,
the
onlie
true
square
of
Gods
seruice
.
As
for
a
preseruatiue
against
this
Leaprosie
,
Preseruatiue
against
leaprosie
of
conscience
.
remember
euer
once
in
the
foure
and
twentie
houres
,
either
in
the
night
,
or
when
ye
are
at
greatest
quyet
,
to
call
your self
to
account
of
all
your
last
dayes
actiones
,
either
wherein
ye
haue
committed
thinges
ye
should
not
,
or
omitted
the
thinges
ye
should
doe
,
either
in
your
Christian
or
Kinglie
calling
:
and
in
that
accounte
,
let
not
your selfe
be
smoothed
ouer
with
that
flattering
〈◇〉
,
whiche
is
ouer
kindlie
a
sicknes
to
all
mankinde
:
but
censure
your selfe
as
sharply
,
as
if
ye
were
your
owne
enemie
:
1.
Cor
.
11.31
.
For
if
ye
iudge
your selfe
,
ye
shall
not
be
iudged
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
:
and
then
according
to
your
censure
,
reforme
your
actions
as
far
as
ye
may
;
eschewing
euer
,
wilfully
and
wittingly
to
contrare
your
conscience
.
For
a
small
sinne
wilfullie
committed
,
with
a
deliberate
resolution
to
breake
the
bridle
of
conscience
therein
,
is
farre
more
grieuous
before
God
,
then
a
greater
sinne
committed
in
a
suddaine
passion
,
when
conscience
is
a
sleepe
.
Last
accounte
.
Remember
therefore
in
all
your
actions
,
of
the
greate
accounte
that
ye
are
one
day
to
make
:
in
all
the
dayes
of
your
life
euer
learning
to
dye
,
and
liuing
euerie
day
as
it
were
your
last
;

And
therefore
,
I
woulde
not
haue
you
to
pray
with
the
Papistes
,
to
bee
preserued
from
suddaine
death
,
but
that
God
would
giue
you
grace
so
to
liue
,
as
ye
may
euerie
houre
of
your
life
be
readie
for
death
:
True
Fortitude
.
so
shall
ye
attaine
to
the
vertue
of
true
Fortitude
,
neuer
being
affraide
for
the
horror
of
death
,
come
when
he
list
.
And
especiallie
,
beware
to
offend
your
conscience
,
with
vse
of
swearing
or
lying
,
suppose
but
in
jeste
;
Foolishe
vse
of
oathes
.
for
oathes
are
but
an
vse
,
and
a
sinne
cloathed
with
no
delite
nor
gaine
,
&
therfore
the
more
inexcusable
euen
in
the
sight
of
men
:
&
lying
commeth
also
muche
of
a
vile
vse
,
whiche
bannisheth
shame
.
Therfore
beware
euen
to
denie
the
trueth
,
whiche
is
a
sorte
of
lye
,
that
may
best
be
eschewed
by
a
person
of
your
ranke
.
For
if
any
thing
be
asked
at
you
that
ye
thinke
not
meete
to
reueale
,
if
ye
saie
,
that
question
is
not
pertinent
for
them
to
aske
,
who
dare
examine
you
further
?
and
vsing
sometimes
this
answere
both
in
true
and
false
thinges
that
shall
be
asked
at
you
,
suche
vnmannerlie
people
will
neuer
be
the
wiser
thereof
.
And
for
keeping
your
conscience
sound
from
that
siknes
of
superstition
,
Against
superstition
ye
must
neither
lay
the
safetie
of
your
conscience
vpon
the
credite
of
your
owne
conceits
,
nor
yet
of
other
mens
humours
,
howe
great
doctors
of
divinitie
that
euer
they
be
:
but
ye
must
only
ground
it
vpon
the
expresse
Scripture
:
For
conscience
not
grounded
vpon
sure
knowledge
,
is
either
an
ignorant
fantasy
,
or
an
arrogant
vanitie
.
Beware
therefore
in
this
case
with
two
extremities
:
the
one
,
to
beleeue
with
the
Papists
,
the
Churches
authority
,
better
thē
your
owne
knowledge
:
th'
other
to
leane
,
with
the
Anabaptistes
,
to
your
owne
conceits
and
dreamed
revelations
.
But
learne
wisely
to
discerne
betwixt
points
of
saluation
and
indifferent
things
,
Difference
of
internal
&
externall
things
.
betwixt
substance
and
ceremonies
;
and
betwixt
the
expres
commandement
and
will
of
God
in
his
word
,
and
the
invention
or
ordinance
of
man
:
since
all
that
is
necessarie
for
saluation
is
contained
in
the
Scripture
.
For
in
any
thing
that
is
expreslie
commanded
or
prohibited
in
the
booke
of
God
,
ye
cannot
be
ouer
precise
,
euen
in
the
least
thing
;
counting
euerie
sinne
,
not
according
to
the
light
estimation
,
&
common
vse
of
it
in
the
world
,
but
as
the
booke
of
God
counteth
of
it
.
But
as
for
all
other
things
not
contained
in
the
Scripture
,
spare
not
to
vse
or
alter
them
,
as
the
necessitie
of
the
time
shall
require
.
Account
of
things
externall
.
And
when
any
of
the
spirituall
office-bearers
in
the
Churche
,
speaketh
vnto
you
any
thing
that
is
well
warranted
by
the
word
,
reuerence
and
obey
them
as
the
heraulds
of
the
most
high
God
:
but
,
if
passing
that
bounds
,
they
vrge
you
to
embrace
any
of
their
fantasies
in
the
place
of
Gods
word
,
or
would
colour
their
particulars
with
a
pretended
zeale
,
acknowledge
thē
for
no
other
then
vaine
men
,
exceeding
the
bounds
of
their
calling
;
and
according
to
your
office
,
grauely
&
with
authority
redact
them
in

againe
.
To

then
,
Conclusien

both
this
purpose
of

and
the
first
part
of

Keepe
God
more
sparingly
in

mouth
,
but
aboundantly
in

be

in

,
but
sociall
in
shew
:
kythe
more
by
your
deedes
thē
by
your
wordes
the
loue
of
vertue
&
hatred
of
vice
:
and
delight
more
to
be
godlie
and
verteous
in
deed
,
then
to
be
thought
and
called
so
;
expecting
more
for
your
praise
and
rewarde
in
heauen
,
then
heere
:
&
apply
to
all
your
outward
actions
Christes
commande
,
to
pray
and
giue
your
almes
secretly
:
So
shall
ye
on
the
one
part
be
inwardly
garnished
with
true
Christian
humilitie
,
not
outwardly
(
with
the
proud
Pharisie
)
glorying
in
your
godlinesse
:
but
saying
,
as
Christ
commandeth
vs
all
,
when
we
haue
done
all
that
we
can

to
execution
;
I
remit
the
making
of
them
to
your
owne
discretion
,
as
ye
shall
finde
the
necessitie
of
new-rising
corruptions
to
require
them
:
for

ex

besides
,
that
in
this
country
,
we
haue
already
moe
good
lawes
then
are
well
execute
,
and
am
onely
to
insist
in
your
forme
of
government
anent
their
execution
.
Onlie
rmember
,
that
as
Parliamentes
haue
bene
ordained
for
making
of
lawes
,
so
ye
abuse
not
their
institution
,
in
holding
them
for
any
mens
particulars
.
The
authority
&
true
vse
of
Parliaments
.
For
as
a
Parliament
is
the
honorablest
and
highest
judgement
in
the
land
(
as
being
the
Kings
head
Courte
)
if
it
be
well
vsed
,
whiche
is
by
making
of
good
lawes
in
it
;
so
is
it
the
in-justest
judgement-seate
that
may
be
,

being
abused
to
mens
particulars
:
irreuocable
decreits
against
particulare
parties
being
giuen
therin
vnder
colour
of
generall
lawes
,
&
ofttimes
th'Estates
not
knowing
themselues
whome
therby
they
hurt
.
And
therefore
holde
no
Parliaments
but
for
necessitie
of
newe
lawes
,
whiche
would
be
but
seldome
:
for
few
lawes
and
well
put
in
execution
,
are
best
in
a
well
ruled
common-weale
.
As
for
the
matter
of
fore-faltures
,
whiche
also
are
done
in

,
it
is
not
good
tigging
with
these
things
;

ye

for
suche
odious
crimes
as
may
make
them
vn-worthie
euer
to
be

againe
.
And
for
smaller
offences
,
ye
haue
other
penalties
sharpe
ynough
to
be
vsed
against
them
.
And
as
for
the
execution
of
good
lawes
,
whereat
I
left
,
Anent
the
execution
of
lawes
.
remember
that
among
the
differences
that
I
put
betwixt
the
formes
of
the
gouernment
of
a
good
King
,
and
an
vsurping
Tyran
;
I
shewe
how
a
Tyran
would
enter
like
a

while
he
found
himself
fast
vnder-foote
,
A

se
uerity
to
be
vsed
at

.
and
then
would
suffer
his
vn-rulie
affections
to
burste
foorth
.
Therefore
be
ye
contrare
at
your
first
entrie
to
your

feare
no

,
since
ye
may
assure

the

howe

that

For

And
when
ye

For
I
confesse
,
where
I
thought
(
by
being
gracious
at
the
beginning
)
to
win
all
mens
heartes
to
a
louing
and
willing
obedience
,

,
the

and
the

of

to
be
all
my
rewarde
.
But
as
this
seuere
justice
of
yours
vpon
all
offences
would
be
but
for
a
time
,
(
as
I
haue
alreadie
saide
)
so
is
there
some
horrible
crimes
that
ye
are

neuer
to
forgiue
:

As
for

against

person
and

,
Treason
against
the
Prince
his
person
or

since
the
fault
concerneth
your selfe
,
I
remit
to
your

choise
to
punishe
or
pardon
therin
,
as
your
hart
serueth
you
,
and
according
to
the
circumstances
of
the
turne
and
the
quality
of
the
committer
.
Heere
would
I
also
eike
another
crime
to
be
vnpardonable
,
if
I
should
not

but
the

It
is
then
,
the

and
consequently
,
sen
ye
are
the
lawfull

,
suffer
not
both
your
Princes
and
your
Parents
to
be
dishonoured
by
any
;
especially
,
sith
the
example
also
toucheth
your selfe
,
Plato

in
leauing
therby
to
your
successors
,
the
measure
of
that
whiche
they
shall
mette
out
againe
to
you
in
your
like
behalf
.
I
graunt
we
haue
all
our
faultes
,
whiche
,
priuatly
betwixt
you
and
God
,
should
serue
you
for
examples
to
meditate
vpon
,
&
mende
in
your
person
;
but
should
not
be
a
matter
of
discourse
to
others
what-soeuer
.
And
sith
ye
are
come
of
as
honourable
Predecessoures
as
any
Prince
liuing
,
represse
the
insolence
of
suche
,
as
vnder
pretence
to
taxe
a
vice
in
the
person
,
seekes
craftily
to
staine
the
race
,
and
to
steale
the
affection
of
the
people
from
their
posteritie
.
For
howe
can
they
loue
you
,
that
hated
them
whome-of
ye
are
come
?
Wherfore
destroy
men
innocent
young
sucking
Wolues
and
Foxes
?
but
for
the
hatred
they
beare
to
their
race
:
&
why
will
a
coult
of
a
Courser
of
Naples
,
giue
a
greater
price
in
a
market
,
then
an
Asse-colt
?
but
for
loue
of
the
race
.
It
is
therefore
a
thing
monstrouse
,
to
see
a
man
loue
the
childe
,
&
hate
the
Parentes
:
as
on
the
other
parte
,
the
infaming
and
making
odious
of
the
parent
,
is
the
readiest
way
to
bring
the
sonne
in
contempt
.
And
for
conclusion
of
this
point
,
I
may
also
alledge
my
owne
experience
.
For
besides
the
judgements
of
God
,
that
with
my
eyes
I
haue
seene
fall
vpon
all
them
that
were
chief
traitours
to
my
parents
,
I
may
justly
affirme
,
I
neuer
found
yet
a
constant
byding
by
me
in
all
my
straites
,
by
any
that
wer
of
perfite
age
in
my
parentes
dayes
,
but
only
by
such
as
constantly
bode
by
them
.
I
meane
specially
by
them
that
serued
the
Queene
my
mother
:
for
so
that
I
discharge
my
conscience
to
you
,
my
Sonne
,
in
reuealing
to
you
the
trueth
,
I
care
not
,
what
any
traitor
or
treason-allower
think
of
it
.
And
although
the
crime
of
oppression
be
not
in
this
ranke
of
vnpardonable
crimes
,
Of

.
yet
the
ouer-common

of
it
in

,
as
if
it
were

especially
by
the
greatest

requireth

Heere
nowe
speaking
of
oppressours
and
of
justice
,
Of
the
hie-lands
the
purpose
leadeth
mee
to
speake
of
Hie-land
and
Bordour
oppressions
.
As
for
the
Hielands
,
I
shortly
comprehend
them
al
in
two
sorts
of
people
:
the
one
,
that
dwelleth
in
our
maine
land
,
that
are
barbarous
for
the
most
parte
,
and
yet
mixed
with
some
shewe
of
ciuilitie
:
the
other
,
that
dwelleth
in
the
Iles
,
&
are
alluterlie
barbares
,
without
any
forte
or
shewe
of
ciuilitie
.
For
the
first
sorte
,
put
straitly
to
execution
the
lawes
made
alreadie
by
mee
against
their
Ouer-lords
,
&
the
chiefs
of
their
Clannes
;
and
it
will
be
no
difficultie
to
danton
them
.
As
for
the
other
sort
,
followe
foorth
the
course
that
I
haue
intended
,
in
planting
Colonies
among
them
of
answerable
In-lands
subjects
,
that
within
short
time
may
reforme
and
civilize
the
best
inclined
among
them
:
rooting
out
or
transporting
the
barbarous
and
stubborne
sorte
,
and
planting
ciuilitie
in
their
roomes
.
But
as
for
the
Bordours
,
because
I
knowe
,
if
ye
injoy
not
this
whole
I
le
,
Of
the
Borders
.
according
to
Gods
right
&
your
lineall
discent
,
ye
wil
neuer
get
leaue
to
brook
this
north
and
barrennest
part
therof
;
no
,
not
your
owne
head
wheron
the
Crowne
should
stande
;
I
neede
not
in
that
case
trouble
you
with
them
:
for
then
they
will
be
the
middest
of
thee
I
le
,
&
so
as
easily
ruled
as
any
part
thereof
.
And
that
ye
may
the
readier
with
wisedome
and
justice
gouerne
your
subjects
,
A
necessar
point
in
a
good
gouernement
.
Plato

by
knowing
what
vices
they
are
naturally
most
inclyned
to
,
as
a
good
Physician
,
who
must
first
knowe
what
peccant
humours
his
patient
naturallie
is
most
subject
vnto
,
before
he
can
begin
his
cure
:
I
shall
therfore
shortly
note
vnto
you
,
the
principall
faultes
that
euery
rank
of
the
people
of
this
country
is
most
affected
vnto
.
And
as
for
England
,
I
will
not
speake
be-gesse
of
them
,
neuer
hauing
bene
among
them
;
although
I
hope
in
that
God
,
who
euer
fauoreth
the
right
,
before
I
die
,
to
be
as
well
acquainted
with
their
fashions
.
As
the
whole
subjectes
of
our
country
(
by
the
auncient
and
foundamentall
policie
of
our
Kingdome
)
are
deuided
into
three
estates
;
A
conside
ration
of
the
3.
Estates
.
so
is
euery
estate
heere
of
generally
subject
to
some
speciall
vices
;
whiche
in
a
maner
by
long
habitude
,
are
thoght
rather
vertue
then
vice
among
them
:
not
that
euery
particular
man
,
in
any
of
these
rankes
of
men
,
is
subject
vnto
them
;
for
there
is
good
and
euill
of
all
sortes
:
but
that
I
meane
,
I
haue
found
by
experience
,
these
vices
to
haue
taken
greatest
holde
with
these
rankes
of
men
.
And
first
,
that
I
prejudge
not
the
Churche
of
her
ancient
priuiledges
,
reason
would
she
should
haue
the
first
place
,
for
ordours
sake
,
in
this
catalogue
.
The
naturall
sicknesse
that
haue
euer
troubled
,

diseases
of

and
beene
the
decay
of
all

,
since

from

to
another
,
as
Iohn
saith
,
haue
bene
Pride

Ambition
,
and
Auarice
:
and
now
last
,
these
same
infirmities
wrought
the
ouerthrowe
of
the
Popishe
Churche
,
in
this
country
and
diuers
others
.
But
the
reformation
of
Religion
in
Scotland
,
being
extraordinarily
wrought
by
God
,
wherein
many
things
were
inordinarly
done
by
a
populare
tumult
&
rebellion
,
Th'occasion
of
the
Tribunat
of
some

of
suche
as
blindly
were
doing
the
work
of

,
but
clogged
with
their
owne
passions
&
particular
respects
,
as
well
appeared
by
the
destruction
of
our
policie
;
and
not
proceeding
from
the
Princes
ordour
,
as
it
did
in
our
neighbour
country
of
England
,
as
likewise
in
Denmarke
,
and
sundry
parts
of
Germanie
;
some
fierie
spirited
men
in
the
ministerie
,
gote
suche
a
guyding
of
the
people
at
that
time
of
confusion
,
as
finding
the
guste
of
gouernment
sweete
,
they
begouth
to
fantasie
to
themselues
,
a
Democratick
forme
of
gouernment
:
and
hauing
(
by
the
iniquity
of
time
)
bene
ouer-well
baited
vpon
the
wracke
,
first
of
my
Grandmother
,
and
next
of
my
owne
mother
,
and
after
vsurping
the
liberty
of
the
time
in
my
long
minority
,
setled
themselues
so
faste
vpon
that
imagined
Democracie
,
Suche
were
the
Demagogi
at
Athens
.
as
they
fed
themselues
with
the
hope
to
become
Tribuni

:
and
so
in
a
populare
gouernment
by
leading
the
people
by
the
nose
,
to
beare
the
sway
of
all
the
rule
.
And
for
this
cause
,

neuer
rose

they
that

Their

were
euer
carefull
to
perswade

allure
these
vnrulie
spirits
among

,
to
spouse
that
quarrell
as
their

:
wher-through
I
was
ofttimes
calumniated
in
their
populare
sermons
,
not
for
any
euill
or
vice
in
me
,
but
because
I
was
a
King
;
whiche
they
thought
the
highest
euill
.
And
because
they
were
ashamed
to
profes
this
quarrell
,
they
were
busie
to
look
narrowlie
in
all
my
actions
;
and
I
warrant
you
a
moate
in
my
eye
,
yea
a
false
reporte
was
matter
ynough
for
them
to
worke
vpon
:
and
yet
for
all
their
cunning
,
whereby
they
pretended
to
distinguishe
the
lawfulnes
of
the
office
,
from
the
vice
of
the
person
,
some
of
them
would
some-times
snapper
out
well
groselie
with
the
truth
of
their
intentions
:
Their
razing
the
ground
of
the
Princely
rule
.
informing
the
people
,
that
all
Kings
and
Princes
were
naturally
enemies
to
the
libertie
of
the
Churche
,
and
could
neuer
patiently
beare
the
yoke
of
Christ
:
with
suche
sound
doctrine
fed
they
their
flocks
.
And
because
the
learned
,
graue
,
and
honest
men
of
the
ministerie
,
were
euer
ashamed
and
offended
with
their
temeritie
and
presumption
,
preassing
by
all
good
meanes
by
their
authority
and
example
,
to
reduce
them
to
a
greater
moderation
;
there
could
be
no
way
found
out
so
meete
in
their
conceit
,
that
were
turbulent
spirites
among
them
,
for
maintaining
their
plottes
,
as
paritie
in
the
churche
:
whereby
the
ignorants
were
emboldened
(
as
bairdes
)
to
cry
the
learned
,
godly
,
Their
pretence
of
Paritie
.
&
modest
out
of
it
:
paritie
the
mother
of
confusion
,
and
enemy
to
Vnitie
whiche
is
the
mother
of
ordour
.
For
if
by
the
example
thereof
,
once
established
in
the
Ecclesiasticall
gouernment
,
the
Politicke

ciuill

should
be
drawne
to

the
greate
confusion
that
there-upon

arise

may
easilie
be
discerned

Take
heede
therefore
(

to
suche
Puritanes
,
very
pestes

An

rayling

and
making

without
any

I
protest
before

and
since

ye

neither

as
well
as

so
not
to

but
as

preferred
before

so
chaine

as

The

that
dwelleth
neere

to
their

following

although
they
hold
nothing
of
them
:
to
maintaine
their
seruants
and
dependers
in
any
wrong
,
although
they
be
not
answerable
to
the
lawes
(
for
any

)
&
for
any

that

apprehend
to

by

to

and

to

For

(
besides

so

for

that
justly

haue
no
grounde
to
grudge
at
:
and
yet
so
to
temper
and
mixe
your
seueritie
with
myldenesse
,
that
as
the
vn-just

may
be
restrayned

so
the

may
not
onely

but
be
stirred

invited
by

to

And
therefore
(
my

sith
all
people
are
naturally
inclyned
to
followe
their
Princes
example
(
as
I
shewed
you
before
)
let
it
not
be
said
,
that
ye
command
others
to
keep
the
contrarie
course
to
that
,
whiche
in
your
owne
person
ye
practise
:
making
so
your
wordes
and

to

:
but
by
the
contrarie
,
let
your
owne
life
be
a
law-booke

a
mirrour
to

;
that
therein
they
may
read

and

by

,
what

And
this
example
in
your
owne

I
likewise
deuide
in
two
parts
:
The
first
,
in
the
gouernement
of
your
Courte
and
followers
,
in
all
godlinesse
&
vertue
:
the
next
,
in
hauing
your

minde
decked

enriched
so
with
all
vertuous
qualities
,
that
ther-with
ye
may
worthelie
rule

For
it
is
not
ynough
that
ye
haue

retaine

neuer
so
many
good
qualities
and

then
,
as
to
the
gouernement
of

;

Psal
.
101
King
Dauid
sets
downe
the
best
preceptes
,
that
any
wise
and
christian
King
can
practise
in
that
point
.
For
as
ye
ought
to
haue
a
great
care
for
the
ruling
well
of
all
your
subjects
,
so
ought
ye
to
haue
a
double
care
for
the
ruling
well
of
your
owne
seruantes
;
since
vnto
them
ye
are
both
a
Politick
&
Oeconomick
gouernour
.
And
as
euerie
one
of
the
people
will
delite
to
followe
the
example
of
any
of
the
Courteours
,
Cic

as
well
in

so
what
crime
so
horrible
can
there
be
committed
&
ouer-sene
in
a
Courteour
,
that
will
not
be
an
exemplare
excuse
for
any
other
boldly
to
commit
the
like
?
And
therefore
in
two
points
haue
ye
to
take
good
heede
anent
your
Court
and
householde
.
First
,
in
choosing
them
wisely
:
next
,
in
carefully
ruling
them
whome
ye
haue
chosen
.
It
is
an
olde

saying
,

that

for
albeit
good

be
great
helpes
to

moste
justly

yet
is
it
euill
to
get
out
of

fleshe

that

bred

as

setting
your

vpon
the
faithfull
and
vpright
of
the
land
to
dwell
with
you
.
But
heere
I
must
not
forget
to
remember
,
A
transmission
of
haereditarie
kindenesse
.
and
according
to
my
fatherlie
authoritie
,
to
charge
you
to
praeferre
speciallie
to
your

so
many

haue
trulie
serued

are
able

it
:
the
rest
,
honorably
to
rewarde
them
,
praeferring
their
posteritie
before
others
,
as
kindliest
:
so
shall
ye
not
only
be
best
serued
,
(
for
if
the
haters
of
your
parents
cannot
loue
you
,
as
I
shewed
before
,
it
followeth
of
necessity
their
louers
must
loue
you
)
but
further
,
ye
shall
kyth
your
thankfull
memorie
of
your
father
,
&
procure
the
blessing
of
these
olde
seruants
,
in
not
missing
their
old
maister
in
you
;
whiche
otherwaies
would
be
turned
in
a
prayer
for
me
,
and
a
curse
for
you
.
Vse
them
therefore
when
God
shall
call
me
,
as
the
testimonies
of
your
affection
towards
me
:
trusting
and
advancing
those
farthest
,
whome
I
found
faithfullest
:
which
ye
must
not
discerne
by
their
rewards
at
my
hande
(
for
rewards
,
as
they
are
called
Bona
fortunae
,
so
are
they
subject
vnto
fortune
)
but
according
to
the
trust
I
gaue
them
;
hauing
oft-times
had
better
hart
then
hap
to
the
rewarding
of
sundry
.
And
on
the
other
parte
,
as
I
wishe
you
to
kyth
your
constant
loue
towardes
them
that
I
loued
,
so
desire
I
you
to
kyth
in
the
same
measure
,
your
constant
hatred
to
them
that
I
hated
:
I
meane
,
bring
not
home
,
nor
restore
not
suche
,
as
ye
finde
standing
bannished
or
forefaulted
by
me
.
The
contrarie
would
kyth
in
you
ouer
great
a
contempt
of
me
,
and
lightnesse
in
your
owne
nature
:
for
howe
can
they
be
true
to
the
Sonne
,
that
were
false
to
the
Father
?
But
to
returne
to
the
purpose
anent
the
choise
of
your
seruants
,
ye
shall
by
this
wise
forme
of
doing
,
eschewe
the
inconuenients
,
that
in
my
minoritie
I
fell
in
,
anent
the
choise
of
my
seruantes
.
For
by
them
that
had
the
command
where
I
was
brought
vp
,
were
my
seruantes
put
vnto
me
;
not
choosing
thē
that
were
meetest
to
serue
me
,
but
whome
they
thoght
meetest
to
serue
their
turn
about
me
;
A
domestick
and
neere
example
.
as
kythed
well
in
many
of
them
at
the
first
rebellion
raised
against
me
;
whiche
compelled
me
to
make
a
great
alteration
among
my
seruants
.
And
yet
the
example
of
that
corruption
,
made
me
to
be
long
troubled
there-after
with
solliciters
,
recommending
seruants
vnto
me
,
more
for
seruing
in
effect
,
their
friendes
that
put
them
in
,
then
their
maister
that

being
Fleshe

And
because
I

God

,
before
ye

ready
for
Mariage
;
I
will
shortly
set
downe
to
you
heere
my
aduice
therein
.
First
of
all
consider
,
that
Mariage
is
the
greatest
earthly
felicitie
or
miserie
,
that
can
come
to
a
man
,
according
as
it
pleaseth
God
to
blesse
or
cursse
the
same
.
Since
then
without
the
blessing
of
GOD
,
ye
cannot
looke
for
a
happie
successe
in
Mariage
;
Praeparation
to
ma
riage
.
ye
must
be
carefull
both
in
your
praeparation
for
it
,
and
in
the
choise
and
vsage
of
your
wife
,
to
procure
the
same
.
By
your
praeparation
,
I
meane
,
that
ye
must
keepe
your
bodie
cleane
and
vnpolluted
,
till
ye
giue
it
to
your
wife
;
whome-to
onlie
it
belongeth
.
For
howe
can
ye
justlie
craue
to
be
joyned
with
a
pure
Virgine
,
if
your
body
be
polluted
?
Why
should
the
one
halfe
be
cleane
,
and
the
other
defiled
?
And
althogh
I
knowe
,
Fornication
is
thought
but
a
light
&
a
veniall
sinne
,
by
the
most
part
of
the
world
;
yet
remember
wel
what
I
saide
to
you
in
my
first
booke
anent
conscience
:
and
count
euerie
sinne
&
breache
of
Gods
lawe
,
not
according
as
the
vaine
world
esteemeth
of
it
;
but
as
God
the
judge
&
maker
of
the
lawe
accounteth
of
the
same
.

commanding

that

shall

,

out
Fornication

from

in

spirituall
and

And
consider
,
if
a
man
shall
once
take
vpon
him
,
to
count
that
light
,
whiche
God
calleth
heauie
;
&
veniall
that
,
whiche
God
calleth
greeuous
;
beginning
first
to
measure
any
one
sinne
by
the
rule
of
his
luste
&
appetites
,
The
dangerous
effectes
of
luste
.
&
not
of
his
conscience
;
what
shall
let
him
to
doe
so
with
the
next
,
that
his
affections
shal
stirre
him
to
,
the
like
reason
seruing
for
all
:
and
so
to
goe
fore-ward
till
he
place
his
whole
corrupted
affections
in
Gods
roome
?
And
then
what
shall
come
of
him
;
but
,
as
a
man
giuen
ouer
to
his
owne
filthie
affections
,
shall
perishe
into
them
?
And
because
we
are
all
of
that
nature
,
that
sibbest
examples
touches

neerest
,
consider
the
difference
of
successe

whiche

are
beautie

For

But
if

accessories

the
principall
causes
be
ouer-seene

whiche
is

Then
(

shall

And
therefore
I

you

that
therefore
this
aduice
seemes
to
be
the
more
straite
and
difficile
:
yet
ye
haue
deepelie
to
weigh
&
consider
vpon
these
doubts
;
howe
ye

your

can
be
of
one
fleshe

keepe
vnitie
betwix
you

beeing
members
of

disagreement
in
Religion
bringeth
euer
with
it
,
disagreement
in
manners
;
and
the
dissention
betwixt
your
Preachers
and
hers
,
will
breede
and
foster
a
dissention
among
your
subjects
,
taking
their
example
from
your
familie
;
besides
the
perrill
of
the
euill
education
of
your

Neither
pride
you
that
ye
will
be
able
to
frame

make
her
as
ye

that
deceaued
Salomon
the
wisest
King
that
euer
was

the
grace
of
Perseverance
not
being
a
flowre
that
groweth

Remember
also
that
Mariage
is
one
of
the
greatestactions
that
a
man
doth
in
all
his
time
,
especially
in
taking
of
his
first
Wife
:
and
if
he
Marie
firste
basely
beneath

he
will
euer
be
the
lesse
accounted

And
lastly
,
remember
to
choose
your
Wife
as
Iaduised
you
to
choose
your
seruants
:
that
she
be
of
a
whole

from
extreame

by

a

Two
sorts

,

,

,
and

;
and
in
things
not
necessarie
,
though
conuenient
and
lawfull
,
as
pastimes
or
exercises
,
and
vsing
of
companie
for

.
As

the

First

howe

although
that
of
them selues
they
cannot

&
so
in

case
are
not

as
like-waies
in-cace
they
be
not

,

so

the
extremity
whiche
is
vice
;
yet
the
qualitie

forme
of
vsing
them
,
may
smell
of
vertue
or
vice
,
and
be
great
furtherers
to
any

.
To
beginne
then
at
the
things
necessary
;
one
of
the
publickest
indifferent
actions
of
a
King
,
and
that
maniest

is
his

Therefore

it
is
meete

honorable
that
ye

as
well
to

the

that
ye
loue

whiche
is
one
of
the
markes
of

as
likewise
,
that
your

to

,
be
not
thought
to
be
for
priuate
satisfying
of

whiche

as
your

For
a

the
Papistes

would
haue

to
the
whiche
error
also
the
Puritanes
incline
ouer-farre
.
But
to
returne
to
the
purpose
of
garments
,
they
ought
to
be
vsed
according
to
their
first
institution
by
God
;
whiche
was
for
three
causes
:
first
to
hide
our
nakednesse
and
shame
;
next
and
consequentlie
,
to
make
vs
more
comelie
;
and
thirdlie
,
to
preserue
vs
from
the
injuries
of
heate
and
colde
.
If
to
hide
our
nakednes
&
shamefull
parts
,
then
these
naturall
parts
ordained
to
be
hid
,
should
not
be
represented
by
any
vn-decent
formes
in
the
cloathes
:
and
if
they
should
helpe
our
comlines
,
they
should
not
thē
by
their
painted
preened
fashion
,
serue
for
baites
to
filthie
lecherie
;
as
false
haire
and
fairding
does
amongst
vnchaste
wemen
:
and
if
they
should
praeserue
vs
from
the
injuries
of
heat
and
colde
,
men
should
not
,
like
senslesse
stones
,
contemne
God
,
in
lightlying
the
seasons
;
glorying
to
conquere
honour
on
heate

colde

And
although
it
be
praise-worthy
&
necessarie
in
a
Prince
,
to
be
patiens

aestus
,
when
he
shall
haue
adoe
with
warres
vpon

yet
I
thinke
it
meeter
that
ye
got
both
clothed
and
armed
,
then
naked

;
except
you
would
make
you
light
for

and
yet
for

And
shortlie
,
in
your

keepe
a
proportion
,
aswell
with
the
seasons
of

as
of

is

to
be

by

to
strike

Where
by

contrarie
,
they
can
serue

being
not

vnable

dangerous

meane

wherewith

not
the

right
,
and
flowe
well
with

the

,
that

as

And
I
would
also
aduise

to

in
your

for
there
is
no
thing
left
to
be
saide
in

;
and
ynewe
of

would
matche
you
in

languages

and
besides
that
,
it
best
becommeth
a
King
to
purifie
and
make
famous
his
owne
tongue
;
wherein
he
may
goe
before
all
his
subjectes
;
as
it
setteth
him
well
to
doe
in
all
honest

lawfull
things

it

commendable

whiche
is
very
necessarie

But
from

I
debarre
all

the
honorablest

that

teache

suche
as
the

lowe-ryding

I
cannot
omit
heere
the
hunting
,
Of
hunting
namelie
with

;
whiche
is
the
most
honourable
and
noblest
sorte
thereof
:
for
it
is
a
theeuishe
forme
of
hunting
to
shoote

and

hunting
is
not
so
martiall
a
game

But
becaus
I

sport

I

I
must
praise

it

resembleth

in
making

is
there-through

obserue

whiche
ye
ought

praeciselie
to
keepe

remembring
that

are

ordayned

in
enabling
you
for

for

Ar.

yet
can
I
not
vtterlie
condemne

since
they
may
at
times
supply
the
roome
,
whiche

empty
,
would
be
patent
to
pernitious
idlenes
quia
nihil
potest
esse

I
will
not
therfore
aggree
with
the
curiosity
of
some
learned
men
in
our
age
,
Dan
.
de
lus
.
al.
in
forbidding
carts
,

,
and
other
suche
like
games
of
hazard
;
althogh
otherwaies
surely
I
reuerence
them
as
no
table
&
godlie
men
.
For
they
are
deceaued
therein
,
in
founding
their
argument
vpon
a
mistaken
grounde
;
whiche
is
,
that
the
playing
at
suche
games
,
is
a
kinde
of
casting
of
lot
,
&
therfore
vn-lawfull
;
wherin
they
deceaue
them selues
.
For
the
casting
of
lot
was
vsed
for
triall
of
the
trueth
in
any
obscure
thing
,
that
otherwaies
could
not
be
gotten
cleared
;
&
therfore
was
a
sorte
of
prophecie
:
where
by
the
contrarie
,
no
man
goeth
to
anie
of
these
plaies
,
to
cleare
any
obscure
trueth
,
but
onelie
to
gage
so
muche
of
his
owne
money
,
as
he
pleaseth
,
vpon
the
hazarde
of
the
running
of
the
cartes
or
dice
;
aswell
as
he
would
doe
vpon
the
speede
of
a
horse
or
a
dog
,
or
any
suche
like
gaigeour
.
And
so
,
if
they
be
vn-lawfull
,
all
gaigeours
vpon
vncertainties
must
likewaies
be
condemned
.
Not
that
thereby
I
take
the
defence
of
vaine
carters
and
dicers
,
that
waste
their
moyen
,
and
their
time
(
wherof
fewe
consider
the
pretiousnesse
)
vpon
prodigall
and
continuall
playing

Of.
I
would
rather
allowe
it
to
be
discharged
,
where
suche
corruption
cannot
be
eschewed

But
onelie
I
cannot
condemne
you
at
some
times
,
when
ye
haue
no
other
thing
a
doe
(
as
a
good
King
will
be
seeldome
)
&
are
wearie
of
reading
,
or
euill
disposed
in
your
person
,
and
when
it
is
foule
and
stormie
weather
;
then
,
I
say
,
may
ye
lawfully
play
at
the
carts
or
tables
.
For
as
to
dycing
,
I
thinke
it
becommeth
best
deboshed
souldiers
to
play
at
,
on
the
head
of
their
drums
,
being
onelie
ruled
by
hazarde
,
and
subject
to
knauishe
cogging
.
And
as
for
the
chesse
,
I
thinke
it
ouer
fonde
,
because
it
is
ouer
wise
and
Philosophicke
a
follie
.
For
where
all
suche
light
plaies
,
are
ordained
to
free
mens
heades
for
a
time
,
from
the
fashious
thoughts
on
their
affaires
;
it
by
the
contrarie
filleth
and
troubleth
mens
heades
,
with
as
many
fashious
toies
of
the
play
,
as
before
it
was
filled
with
thoughts
on
his
affaires
.
But
in
your
playing
I
would
haue
you
to
keepe
three
rules
:
Rules
in
playing
.
first
or
ye
play
,
consider
ye
doe
it
onely
for
your
recreation
,
and
resolue
to
hazard
the
losse
of
all
that
ye
play
;
and
next
,
for
that
cause
play
no
more
thē
ye
care
to
cast
among
Pages
;
&
last
,
play
alwaies
faire
play
precisely
,
that
ye
come
not
in
vse
of
tricking
and
lying
in
jeste
:
otherwise
,
if
ye
cannot
keepe
these
rules
,
my
counsell
is
that
ye
alluterly
abstain
from
these
plays
.
For
neither
a
madde
passion
for
losse
,
nor
falshood
vsed
for
desire
of
gaine
,
can
be
called
a
play
.
Nowe
,
What
choise
of
company
.
it
is
not
onely
lawfull
,
but
necessarie
,
that
ye
haue
companie
meete
for
euerie
thing
ye
take
on
hand
,
aswell
in
your
games
and
exercises
,
as
in
your
graue
and
earnest

not
that

But
take
heede
speciallie
,
that
your

be
chosen
of

ripe

and
constant
in
your

For
better
it
is
to
bide
at
your
resolution
,
although
there
were
some
defect
in
it
,
then
by
daily
changing
,
to
effectuate
nothing
.
Taking
the
paterne
thereof
from
the
microcosme
of
your
owne
body
:
wherin
ye
haue
two
eyes
,
signifying
great
fore-sight
and
prouidence
,
with
a
narrowe
looking
in
all
things
;
and
also
two
eares
,
signifying
patient
hearing
,
and
that
of
both
the
parties
:
but
ye
haue
but
one
tongue
,
for
pronouncing
a
plaine
sensible
,
&
vniforme
sentence
;
&
but
one
head
,
&
one
hart
,
for
keeping
a
constant
&
vniforme
resolution
,
according
to
your
apprehension
:
hauing
two
handes
and
two

,
with
many
fingers
&

for
quick
execution
,
in
employing
all

for
effectuating

But
forget
not
to

euer
your

for

And
aboue
all
,
let
the
measure
of
your
loue
to
euery
one
,
be
according
to
the
measure
of
his
vertue
;
letting
your
fauour
be
no
longer
tyed
to
any

then
the
continuance
of
his
vertuous
disposition
shall
deserue
:
not
admitting
the
excuse
vpon
a
just
revenge
,
to
procure
ouer-sight
to
an
injurie
.
For
the
first
injurie
is
committed
against
the
partie
:
but
the
parties
revenging
therof
at
his
owne
hand
,
is
a

committed

for

of

committed

Thus
hoping
in
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
that
your
naturall
inclination
shall
haue
a
happie
sympathie
with
these
praecepts

making

whiche

to

according

eschewing

the

I
will
