Light
is
sowne
for
the
righteous
,
and
ioy
for
the
vpright
in
heart
.
THese
words
consist
of
a
double
proposition
;
but
some
vnderstand
that
,
like
Pharaohs
dreames
,
though
diuers
,
the
same
thing
is
onely
meant
.
Others
thus
;
Rom.
8.
1.
Psal.
32.
2.
that
the
first
part
of
the
verse
is
vnderstood
of
Iustification
,
the
latter
of
Sanctification
;
for
they
both
vsually
goe
together
,
and
the
one
is
neuer
in
Gods
children
separated
from
the
other
:
for
if
the
Lord
iustifie
any
person
through
Christ
,
in
some
measure
he
sanctifieth
the
same
by
his
Spirit
;
these
(
like
Naomi
and
Ruth
)
runne
together
.
In
the
former
proposition
are
two
things
to
be
considered
:
first
,
that
light
is
sowen
:
secondly
,
for
whom
,
and
that
is
for
the
righteous
.
Againe
,
in
the
latter
proposition
,
are
two
things
also
to
be
noted
;
the
one
,
that
ioy
is
sowne
;
the
other
,
who
shall
reape
it
,
viz.
the
vpright
in
heart
.
But
for
the
better
vnderstanding
of
the
words
,
we
must
know
,
that
this
Text
is
an
Allegory
;
that
is
,
a
continued
similitude
,
wherein
we
may
obserue
fower
things
.
First
,
the
sower
;
and
that
is
God
.
Secondly
,
the
seede
;
and
that
is
ioy
and
light
.
Thirdly
,
the
reapers
,
and
they
be
the
iust
and
vpright
in
heart
.
Fourthly
,
the
ground
where
,
and
that
is
in
Gods
Word
and
workes
,
earth
and
heauen
,
within
vs
and
without
vs
.
This
metaphor
of
husbandry
is
often
vsed
in
the
Scripture
:
for
First
,
it
is
of
antiquitie
;
our
first
parents
were
to
till
the
ground
.
Secondly
,
it
is
of
good
report
;
therefore
to
bee
thought
vpon
.
Thirdly
,
it
is
profitable
;
for
he
that
soweth
shall
reape
.
Lastly
,
it
is
of
necessitie
;
for
grounds
must
bee
plowed
vp
,
or
they
will
not
bring
forth
any
good
fruite
,
but
briars
,
thistles
,
and
all
vnprofitable
rubbish
.
Now
wee
will
proceede
to
the
meaning
of
the
words
.
And
first
for
Light
:
Light
is
either
taken
litterally
,
or
tropically
.
Litterally
two
waies
:
First
,
either
for
an
accident
or
qualitie
in
a
subiect
,
as
in
the
Sunne
,
Gen.
1.
3.
or
any
cleare
body
:
or
Secondly
,
as
an
effect
,
proceeding
from
its
cause
;
and
so
the
Fier
,
Moone
and
starres
are
said
to
be
Lights
,
and
to
giue
light
,
Gen.

Againe
,
light
is

applied
many
waies

In
a
word
,
light
is
taken
for
all
true
comfort
,
and
spirituall
blessings
that
wee
receiue
from
God
,
through
Christ
,
temporal
or
eternal
;
and
so
it
may
be
taken
in
this
place
(
though
more
particularly
)
of
deliuerance
from
trouble
,
or
some
present
danger
the
people
of
God
were
cast
into
:
for
the
Kingdome
of
Christ
is
fore-spoke
of
,
Heb.
1.
6.
and
prophecied
in
this
Psalme
,
so
that
we
may
without
danger
expound
it
of
Christ
the
true
light
,
of
his
comming
,
and
all
blessings
that
accompany
the
same
.
Is
sowne

that
is
,
prepared
,
purposed
and
appointed
of
God
,
to
be
receiued
in
due
time
and
conuenient
season

so
is
the
ioy
of
the
iust
secret
,
hidden
.
For
the
righteous
]
Wee
must
vnderstand
,
that
there
is
a
twofold
righteousnesse
;
and
that
either
personall
,
or
by
imputation
.
Personall
righteousnesse
hath
in
it
two
things
;
first
,
integritie
;
secondly
,
conformitie
:
for
there
is
one
frame
of
the
person
,
another
of
his
actions
.
Integritie
of
nature
must
be
in
him
that
is
personally
righteous
,
Eccles.
7
vlt.
so
was
Adam
,
Eue
and
Christ
by
creation
:
hence
some
conclude
,
that
onely
they
three
were
created
in
the
image
of
God
,
and
none
other
:
for
God
(
in
the
beginning
)
made
man
righteous
(
righteous
in
respect
of
his
nature
and
being
)
,
and
Christ
(
afterward
)
as
hee
was
man
;
for
the
Spirit
did
ouershadow
the
Virgin
,
and
purifie
the
matter
and
masse
of
which
his
humane
body
consisted
,
so
that
it
was
perfect
,
and
without
the
staine
of
the
least
originall
sinne
.
And
againe
,
conformitie
of
action
is
also
of
necessitie
,
to
make
a
man
personally
and
absolutely
righteous
:
the
first
Adam
had
the
one
,
but
failed
in
the
other
;
therefore
because
he
kept
not
the
rule
of
iustice
,
he
was
neuer
actually
and
personally
righteous
:
the
second
Adam
,
Christ
,
had
both
;
and
so
was
able
to
abide
the
Law
,
yea
,
the
very
rigour
of
it
,
either
for
puritie
of
nature
,
or
holinesse
of
conuersation
;
and
he
onely
,
and
none
but
hee
.
1.
Iohn
2.
1.
Hence
he
is
called
,
Iesus
Christ
the
righteous
:
for
he
was
righteous
euery
manner
of
way
.
And
although
the
first
may
bee
without
the
second
,
yet
the
second
cannot
be
without
the
first
;
because
the
latter
(
as
an
effect
,
springeth
and
floweth
from
the
former
,
as
his
true
and
proper
cause
,
Ephes.
4.
24.
And
thus
hauing
declared
what
personall
righteousnesse
is
,
wee
come
to
see
what
is
meant
by
righteousnesse
imputed
.
Now
imputed
righteousnesse
,
is
that
righteousnesse
which
is
not
in
mans
selfe
,
or
from
himselfe
,
but
from
and
by
another
;
not
by
creation
,
but
imputation
.
This
seemes
to
me
to
be
prefigured
by
the
skinnes
,
wherewith
the
Lord
,
after
the
fall
,
clothed
our
first
Parents
;
the
bodies
of
the
beasts
were
for
sacrifice
,
the
skinnes
to
put
them
in
mind
,
that
their
owne
righteousnesse
was
like
the
figge-leaues
,
imperfect
;
and
therefore
they
must
bee
iustified
another
way
.
Yet
howeuer
that
be
,
Paul
is
plaine
for
this
distribution
of
double
righteousnesse
:
for
(
saith
he
)
I
labour
not
to
be
found
in
mine
owne
righteousnes
,
which
is
by
the
Law
,
but
that
which
is
by
faith
in
Christ
,
Phil.
3.
9.
So
that
it
is
manifest
,
there
is
an
imputatiue
,
as
well
as
a
personall
righteousnesse
.
And
here
we
are
to
note
two
things
in
righteousnesse
imputed
:
first
,
what
it
is
that
maketh
righteous
:
secondly
,
how
or
by
what
meanes
we
are
made
partakers
of
this
that
maketh
vs
righteous
.
The
thing
or
matter
is
Christ
and
his
obedience
;
Christ
is
made
our
righteousnesse
,
&c.
1.
Cor.
1.
30.
And
we
must
haue
both
his
person
and
actions
to
be
the
matter
of
our
iustification
:
for
we
are
conceiued
in
sinne
;
therefore
we
must
haue
a
righteousnesse
to
satisfie
the
iustice
of
the
Law
in
that
:
for
the
parts
of
Diuinitie
at
the
Creation
,
seeme
to
be
Holinesse
of
nature
,
and
Perfection
of
life
;
so
that
this
rule
being
iust
and
good
,
must
be
fully
satisfied
,
either
by
our selues
,
or
some
other
,
else
no
flesh
should
be
iustified
,
or
saued
.
Againe
(
I
say
)
his
obedience
must
be
imputed
also
,
and
that
actiue
and
passiue
(
the
which
some
,
but
without
iust
reason
,
deny
;
affirming
,
that
the
passiue
is
of
it selfe
sufficient
)
.
And
the
reason
is
this
:
the
Law
after
Adams
fall
required
a
double
debt
;
the
one
,
that
the
breach
thereof
might
be
repaired
;
the
other
,
perfectly
obeyed
;
that
,
that
was
done
,
must
be
vndone
;
and
that
which
was
vndone
,
must
bee
done
:
and
by
whom
?
euen
by
Christ
our
surety
.
And
obserue
how
fitly
the
actiue
and
passiue
obedience
of
Christ
answere
these
two
:
for
his
passion
remooued
the
curse
,
and
his
actiue
obedience
brings
the
blessing
,
and
confirmes
man
being
reconciled
.
And
this
is
that
which
the
Apostle
intendeth
(
though
some
otherwise
expound
the
place
)
where
he
saith
,
If
by
the
death
of
Christ
(
that
is
,
his
passiue
obedience
)
we
be
reconciled
to
God
,
when
wee
were
enemies
;
much
more
being
reconciled
,
we
shall
be
saued
by
his
life
(
that
is
,
his
actiue
obedience
)
;
Rom.

10.
For
the
better
vnderstanding
of
this
,
let
vs
compare
Adam
vnto
a
pot
,
or
some
such
earthen
vessell
;
first
,
it
is
framed
,
molded
,
and
well
figured
;
then
it
is
put
into
the
ouen
or
furnace
,
and
hardned
.
Now
suppose
that
this
vessell
bee
hit
with
a
foote
,
and
dashed
in
pieces
before
it
was
hardned
;
must
it
not
haue
a
double
act
to
make
it
perfect
,
one
to
mould
it
anew
,
another
to
season
and
harden
it
?
Why
,
man
by
Creation
was
by
God
excellently
framed
;
but
he
was
not
hardned
and
confirmed
by
the
obedience
of
the
Law
,
but
broken
to
pieces
in
dashing
himselfe
against
it
:
so
that
now
hee
standeth
in
need
of
more
than
at
his
creation
;
for
he
is
broken
,
therefore
wants
molding
,
and
then
hardening
too
;
else
notwithstanding
his
case
were
mutable
,
and
his
condition
subiect
to
breaking
still
.
Now
the
passiue
obedience
of
Christ
doth
frame
him
anew
,
that
is
,
set
him
in
that
condition
,
wherein
he
was
at
the
first
by
creation
;
and
then
his
actiue
obedience
like
the
furnace
,
doth
confirme
and
make
him
a
vessell
vnchangeable
,
and
fit
for
the
Lords
vse
for
euer
.
And
doth
it
not
stand
with
iustice
,
that
death
should
remooue
death
,
and
life
procure
life
?
I
write
my
opinion
(
submitting
my selfe
to
the
iudgement
of
the
reuerend
and
learned
)
,
that
the
ground
of
this
error
had
its
beginning
from
misunderstanding
of
personall
righteousnesse
:
for
Adam
was
iust
by
creation
,
in
respect
of
his
essentiall
properties
:
but
neuer
actually
righteous
in
the
obedience
of
the
precepts
by
practise
;
so
that
Adam
was
no
sinner
,
yet
not
iustified
:
for
not
a
sinner
and
a
righteous
person
are
not
equall
and
equiualent
termes
,
they
may
not
bee
conuerted
;
for
Adam
,
though
iust
by
creation
,
yet
not
by
action
;
so
that
he
did
but
answere
to
one
part
of
the
rule
,
not
the
other
;
neither
could
hee
,
vntill
this
created
righteousnesse
had
been
produced
into
act
;
for
as
the
breach
of
the
Law
made
him
actually
a
sinner
&
vniust
,
so
the
performance
of
it
would
haue
made
him
actually
righteous
,
the
which
he
neuer
was
.
The
death
of
Christ
will
restore
vs
to
that
estate
,
from
which
we
fell
in
Adam
,
and
that
is
,
of
enemies
to
make
vs
friends
;
and
to
heale
(
meritoriously
)
our
wounded
nature
:
but
his
life
must
confirme
vs
,
and
make
vs
actually
iust
:
and
there
can
be
no
danger
at
all
in
holding
this
doctrine
;
and
I
wonder
that
any
man
can
either
ascribe
too
much
to
Christ
,
or
beleeue
too
much
in
him
:
for
if
the
breach
,
and
the
not
keeping
of
the
Law
be
debts
(
as
in
truth
they
be
)
,
then
(
as
Paul
writeth
to
Philemon
concerning
Onesimus
)
let
vs
(
in
all
humilitie
of
heart
by
the
hand
of
faith
)
set
both
on
Christs
score
.
And
thus
much
for
the
matter
of
our
iustification
,
by
which
we
are
made
righteous
.
The
manner
how
or
by
what
meanes
it
is
applied
,
followeth
,
and
that
is
faith
,
Rom.
4.
3.
and
faith
onely
:
for
we
are
iustified
by
faith
onely
,
Heb.
11.
6.
as
by
an
instrumentall
cause
;
for
faith
laieth
hold
on
the
obiect
matter
of
our
iustification
,
Christ
and
his
obedience
;
Rom.
5.
1.
10.
and
so
vniting
the
beleeuer
to
him
,
hee
is
iustified
,
though
not
by
his
owne
inherent
and
actuall
righteousnesse
.
So
that
God
the
Father
accepteth
of
this
satisfaction
,
as
if
we
in
our
owne
persons
had
,
both
for
holinesse
of
nature
,
and
perfection
of
obedience
,
absolutely
answered
and
fulfilled
the
Lawes
iustice
.
And
from
this
that
I
haue
said
,
we
may
gather
these
conclusions
.
First
,
that
None
was
euer
personally
righteous
,
but
Christ
onely
.
For
if
his
Father
would
marke
what
was
done
amisse
,
yet
he
was
,
and
is
,
and
euer
shall
be
able
to
abide
it
:
for
he
was
holy
for
nature
,
and
perfect
for
life
.
Againe
,
Rom.
3.
9.
hence
it
will
follow
,
that
all
men
stand
in
neede
of
Christs
merits
;
and
all
cause
of
boasting
is
totally
excluded
from
mankind
:
yea
(
whatsoeuer
Papists
babble
)
the
blessed
Virgin
her selfe
.
So
that
the
person
for
whom
light
is
sowne
,
is
hee
that
by
faith
applieth
Christ
and
his
obedience
(
being
offered
by
the
Father
)
to
himselfe
in
particular
.
And
thirdly
,
we
may
from
this
safely
conclude
,
that
They
who
haue
no
faith
cannot
be
iustified
,
and
consequently
saued
.
For
wee
must
of
necessitie
haue
faith
to
apply
Christ
as
an
instrument
;
Rom.
13.
vlt.
for
faith
is
as
a
hand
to
receiue
,
and
put
on
the
righteousnesse
and
merits
of
the
second
Adam
.
Hab.

We
are
said
to
liue
by
faith
:
that
is
,
in
beleeuing
in
the
Lord
of
life
.
They
therefore
that
haue
no
faith
,
Ephes

are
dead
in
trespasses
and
sinnes
.
Adam
had
life
in
himselfe
at
the
creation
:
now
we
haue
it
out
of
our selues
from
Christ
at
our
iustification
.
And
last
of
all
we
may
collect
,
that
the
obiect
of
faith
and
matter
of
iustification
is
not
within
vs
,
but
without
vs
;
and
that
we
stand
in
need
of
the
same
,
else
no
saluation
;
whence
these
three
Corollaries
follow
.
First
,
that
sinnes
before
conuersion
cannot
hinder
mans
perfect
iustification
.
Let
this
bee
well
obeserued
.
Secondly
,
that
good
workes
after
our
effectuall
vocation
doe
not
further
our
iustification
before
the
Lord
,
they
will
helpe
to
assure
vs
,
that
our
faith
is
sound
;
and
iustifie
vs
in
the
eyes
of
the
world
,
but
no
other
waies
.
And
lastly
from
this
I
also
conclude
,
that
They
are
in
a
great
errour
,
who
hold
the
bare
act
of
faith
without
the
application
of
Christ
and
his
obedience
to
iustifie
.
We
are
said
to
liue
by
our
hands
,
yet
wee
vnderstand
,
that
it
is
meant
by
that
we
get
by
labor
and
trauell
;
for
no
man
eates
his
fingers
:
so
wee
may
truly
be
said
to
be
iustified
and
saued
through
faith
;
but
wee
must
know
,
that
it
is
by
what
faith
resteth
on
,
and
applieth
to
the
person
,
and
no
otherwise
;
this
is
the
plaine
meaning
.
And
now
I
come
to
the
second
branch
of
my
text
,
and
ioy
]
.
Some
expound
the
first
part
by
the
second
,
and
say
,
that
by
light
is
meant
ioy
;
and
by
iust
,
vpright
in
heart
.
But
I
rather
vnderstand
,
that
sanctification
is
meant
in
this
clause
:
for
many
are
apt
to
say
,
they
haue
faith
,
yet
want
holinesse
;
therefore
the
spirit
would
take
away
that
false
cauill
.
Againe
,
good
and
righteous
persons
call
the
soundnesse
of
their
faith
sometimes
into
question
,
doubting
of
the
truth
of
their
spirituall
condition
;
therefore
to
remoue
that
scruple
,
and
to
comfort
and
settle
their
wauering
minds
,
the
Prophet
annexeth
as
a
helpe
this
other
clause
,
wherein
is
comprehended
sanctification
.
And
vsually
in
the
holy
Booke
,
these
two
are
coupled
together
,
and
they
may
not
be
put
asunder
,
1.
Cor.

11.
Now
for
the
interpretation
of
the
words
:
some
reade
ioy
,
others
gladnesse
;
the
difference
of
these
two
I
take
to
be
this
:
Ioy
is
in
the
heart
,
secretly
hidden
:
and
gladnesse
may
be
seene
in
the
face
,
or
by
some
outward
signe
discerned
:
for
where
one
Euangelist
writeth
,
Reioyce
and
bee
glad
;
another
saith
,
Reioyce
and
leape
.
Feare
and
ioy
are
internall
,
but
trembling
and
gladnesse
externall
:

Seemes

be
a
Metaphor
tooke
from
a
pillar
,
or
thing
that
standeth
(
as
wee
say
)
bolt
vpright
,
not
inclining
more
one
way
than
another
;
or
some
reade
it
Right
or
Streight
of
heart
;
that
is
,
in
whose
thoughts
,
intentions
and
conuersations
is
no
guile
,
like
Nathanaël
,
or
Ezekiah
;
and
heart
is
added
,
to
shew
the
true
roote
of
sinceritie
,
as
also
to
condemne
outward
hypocrisie
:
for
some
,
like
the
old
Pharisies
,
are
iust
outwardly
,
but
inwardly
full
of
rottennes
;
the
heart
is
not
vpright
,
what
shew
soeuer
they
make
of
holinesse
and
righteousnes
:
or
it
may
be
annexed
for
the
comfort
of
the
iust
,
that
though
they
faile
sometimes
in
outward
act
,
yet
it
falleth
foorth
contrary
to
the
intent
and
former
purpose
of
their
heart
:
for
the
most
faithfull
hath
his
failings
,
whatsoeuer
his
resolutions
haue
been
to
the
contrary
.
And
now
in
few
other
words
,
thus
may
we
plainly
resolue
these
.
What
if
the
faithfull
be
afflicted
?
ouerwhelmed
with
the
waues
of
sorrow
?
compassed
about
with
great
and
manifold
euils
?
drowned
in
the
depth
of
depths
?
and
well
neere
swallowed
vp
of
ouermuch
heauinesse
?
shall
they
not
heare
of
glad
tidings
?
will
not
ioy
breake
out
as
light
in
the
morning
?
and
all
teares
be
wiped
from
their
eyes
?
yes
,
this
is
an
eternall
truth
,
that
,
All
such
as
are
iustified
by
faith
in
Christ
;
sanctified
(
hauing
hearts
without
guile
)
by
the
word
and
spirit
;
though
they
sow
in
teares
,
plow
in
paine
,
and
all
their
crop
seeme
to
be
blasted
;
yet
there
be
great
blessings
appointed
by
God
for
them
;
which
(
though
for
a
season
they
be
couered
,
and
hidden
like
corne
in
the
furrowes
)
they
shall
one
day
reape
and
receiue
in
earth
and
heauen
,
according
to
the
sure
promise
of
the
Lord
.
Thus
to
our
power
hauing
pickt
out
the
true
meaning
,
wee
come
to
gather
some
profitable
instructions
;
and
out
of
the
word
sowen
,
we
may
first
obserue
,
that
Doct.
1
The
righteous
mans
haruest
in
secret
and
hidden
.
It
lieth
like
the

Their
life
is

it

Name
what
you
can
,
and
it
will
be
a
mysterie
,
a
secret
thing
,
that
belongs
to
the
vpright
in
heart
.
Reason
1
First
,
is
not
the
decree
of
God
a
hidden
thing
?
a
depth
vnsearchable
?
and
able
to
make
a
man
astonied
?

Did
not
Paul
crie
out
,
Oh
the
deepnesse
of
the
riches
both
of
the
wisedome
and
counsell
of
God!
how
vnsearchable
are
his
iudgements
,
and
his
waies
past
finding
out
?
Reason
2
And
is
not
the
incarnation
of
Christ
a
secret
too
?
what
more
to
be
admired
,
1.

vlt.
than
,
That
God
should
become
man
,
1.
Pet.
1.

and
be
manifested
in
the
flesh
?
The
very

desired
to
peepe
into
this
mysterie
.
This
is
one
of
the
Lords
wonderfull
workes

Againe
,
the
conuersion
and
regeneration
of
a
sinner
a
admirable
;
it
s
a
noble
,
yet
a
secret
work
:
Nicodemus
a
great
Doctor
could
not
see
into
it
.
Ioh.

And
if
naturall
births
be
so
strange
,
what
shall
wee
iudge
of
this
?

,
Peace

;

knoweth
it

So
is
the
earnest
of
the
Spirit
,
and
true
seale
of
saluation
;
the
power
,
life
and
sweetnes
of

And

fifth

One

A

and
is
not
that
both
secret
and
deceitfull
?
And
last
of
all
,
the
very
principall
part
of
the
haruest
is
hid
with
Christ
in

it
will
appeare

the
Righteous

Then
the
prophane
must
learne
not
to
speake

of

Therefore
iudge
not

lest

be

vnderstand
the
truth

and
then
speake
:
for
its
wisdome
to
conceale
any
thing

not
,
as
it
commendable
to
speake
the
truth
of
a

Thou
art
to

that

you
shall
haue
a

commended
on

Oh

as

there
is
few
such
in

that

What

and
what
doth
more
resemble
faith
than
infidelitie
,
especially
at
the
first

?
Yong
Conuerts
(

they

in

therefore
imagine
so
to
finde
it
growing

knoweth
full

that
the
corne
in
his

be
as
good
wheate
at

as
any

So
hee
that
is
not
an

,
and
hath
not
skill
in

kinde
of

(
because

,
and
loue
perfect
at
the
first
breaking
vp
of
the
field
of
his
soule
by
the
plow
of
the
word
)
feareth
that
hee
hath
no
grace
at
all
:
but
a
grounded
Christian
knoweth
the
contrary
.
Learn
then
this
lesson
,
that
after
plowing
,
comes
sowing
;
after
sowing
,
the
seede
lies
vnder
the
clots
;
after
,
springeth
to
a
blade
,
eare
,
and
last
of
all
,
a
ful
corne
:
and
these
degrees
are
to
be
expected
in
this
spirituall
haruest
also
.
I
haue
knowne
others
troubled
,
because
they
cannot
distinctly
tell
the
time
of
their
conuersion
:
Why
?
doe
not
some
women
conceiue
,
and
know
it
not
for
a
season
?
yet
before
long
they
can
easily
discerne
it
.
And
in
like
sort
may
the
new
birth
be
wrought
,
and
yet
some
while
the
person
be
ignorant
of
the
same
:
Ioh.
3.
8.
For
as
the
spirit
bloweth
where
and
when
,
so
,
how
he
listeth
.
Thou
must
trie
it
by
the
effects
.
If
therfore
the
daily
course
of
finne
be
staied
;
1.
Ioh.
3.
9.
the
breasts
of
thy
vnderstanding
and
heart
,
Psal.
119.
11.
with
the
sincere
milke
of
the
word
,
be
filled
,
and
thou
trauell
in
minde
and
wil
,
that
good
works
may
be
produced
:
Rom.
7.
vlt.
thou
art
borne
of
God
,
and
one
of
his
adopted
children
.
Vse

And
is
this
haruest
secret
and
hidden
?
Then
let
the
righteous
neuer
rest
content
with
any
measure
of
spirituall
crop
they
haue
attained
to
:
for
they
haue
but
like
Ruth
participated
of
the
gleanings
.
The
very
chiefe
of
the
haruest
is
gathered
into
heauen
,
and
there
they
shall
haue
it
:
the
vpright
are
in
the
wildernes
,
and
haue
but
tasted
of
the
good
things
of
the
world
to
come
:
yea
,
this
doctrine
should
cause
all
of
vs
to
thresh
out
the
word
,
to
breake
our
hard
hearts
,
to
sow
apace
both
the
seeds
of
good
works
,
and
the
rich
and
precious
graine
of
prayer
.
Oh
that
wee
did
but
conceiue
aright
,
how
these
seeds
will
fructifie
;
and
the
full
sheaues
that
we
shall
reape
,
either
in
life
or
death
,
or
at
the
last
day
!
Truly
not
one
of
these
cornes
shall
miscarry
,
but
all
take
roote
,
spring
,
and
bring
foorth
fruite
in
great
abundance
.
I
say
then
,
be
not
wearie
in
this
course
of
husbandry
;
iudge
not
,
that
The
haruest
is
past
,
2.
Tim.
2.
18.
but
scatter
this
seed
euery
where
,
and
crie
aloud
,
2.
Cor.
5.
6.
that
the
great
day
of
reaping
may
come
,
and
the
principall
time
of
gathering
:
yea
it
should
moue
thee
to
wish
to
be
loosed
,
and
to
desire
Christs
comming
to
iudgement
,
and
then
it
will
appeare
what
thou
shalt
be
:
for
whatsoeuer
good
thing
any
man
hath
done
,
Ephes.
6.
8.
that
same
shall
bee
receiue
of
the
Lord
,
whether
he
be
bond
or
free
.
It
cannot
be
denied
,
but
that
,
as
in
the
daies
of
Elias
,
the
children
of
God
in
this
world
,
like
the
corne
,
couered
with
chaffe
,
may
be
hidden
and
not
discerned
;
but
at
that
day
Christ
shall
single
them
out
,
call
them
by
name
,
and
reward
them
according
to
their
workes
.
Matth.

Euery
good

of

each

powdred
with
salt
,
the
still
prayers
that
haue
been
powred
out
in
the
poorest
corner
of
a
cottage
,
and
euery
good
action
done
in
secret
,
shall
come
to
light
,
and
haue
his
blessing
;
and
then
the
difference
will
be
discerned
between
the
righteous
and
the
wicked
,
between
him
that
serued
God
,
and
him
that
serued
him
not
.

Goe
on
therefore
,
and
be

For

that

the
fruit
;
and
hee
that

And
now
wee
come
to
obserue
a
second
point
,
the
which
we
gather
out
of
the
consequent
part
of
the
first
proposition
,
which
is
,
that
Doct.
2
The
righteous
are
the
reapers
of
Gods
greatest
benefits
.
Light
and
gladnesse
bee
sowen
for
them
only
,
and
for
none
other
:
Balaam

this
full
well
,
therfore
he
desired
to
dye
the
death
of
the
righteous

Marke
the

,
and
behold
the
iust
,
for
the
end
of
that
man
shall
be
peace
:
yea
,
the
righteous
shall
be
had
in
euerlasting
remembrance
:
Psal.
112.

and
,
such
shal
want
no

of

,

and
their
names
for
euer
engrauen
in

.
But
with
the
wicked
it
shall
not
be
so
:
ler.
17.
13.
for
their
fame
shall
rot
,
their
names
shall
be
written
in
earth
,
their
hopes
make
them
ashamed
,
and
at
the
last
day
,
Psal.
1.
vlt.
their
image
shall
be
despised
:
They
shall
be
as
chaffe
before
the
winde
,
and
shall
not
be
able
to
stand
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
:
but
bee
depriued
of
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
and
throwne
downe
into
the
nethermost

.
We
deny
not
,
but
that
they
may
flourish
for
a
time
,

;
spend
many
daies
in
carnall
pleasures
,
yet
for
all
this
,
in
a
moment
they
shall
descend
into
the
pit
.
This
shall
be
the
portion
of
vniust
and
wicked
men
,
but
the
contrary
to
the
righteous
.
And
it
also
standeth
with
good
reason
.
Reason
1
For
first
,
the
iust
are
vnited
to
Christ
their
husband
and
head
;
Ephes.
5.
30.
they
are
bone
of
his
bone
,
and
flesh
of
his
flesh
:
therefore
they
shall
partake
(
in
truth
,
though
not
in
degree
)
of
all
his
priuiledges
.
And
from
this
vnion
,
wee
are
said
to
be
heires
of
God
.
Gal.
4.
heires
annexed
with
Christ
.

heires

heires
of

.
Tit.
3.
yea
,
coheires
with
Christ
of
all
things
present
or
to
come
:
For
the
righteous
are
Christs
,
and
Christ
is
Gods
.

And
as
they
that
are
thus
grafted
into
the
second
Adam
shall
be
partakers
of
all
his
goods
;
so
the
vniust
,
not
being
in
him
,
shall
taste
of
all
the
heauy
iudgements
of
God
the
Father
.
He
that
is
not
a
branch
of
this
Vine
,
shall
be
cut
off
,
wither
,
dye
,
and
suffer
the
vengeance
of
eternall
fire
.
Iude
7.
Reason
2
Againe
,
they
haue
right
to
all
the
promises
,
and
none
but
they
,
Heb.
11.
1.
2.
Many
may
say
,
that
They
are
Abrahams
seed
,
Mal
3.
9.
haue
true
title
to
heauen
,
and
boast
much
that
They
are
free
:
Ioh.
8.
33.
but
they
that
so
thinke
,
may
deceiue
their
own
soules
,
and
be
farre
from
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
For
Godlines
,
only
,
hath
the
promises
of
this
life
,
Ioh.
8.
36.
and
the
life
to
come
.
1.
Tim.
4.
8.
And
if
the
Sonne
make
man
free
,
then
is
he
free
indeed
.
But
(
alas
!
)
the
wicked
,
vniust
and
prophane
haue
no
promise
to
inherit
heauen
;
all
the
threats
in
Gods
booke
are
denounced
against
them
:
Psal.
32.
10.
For
,
Many
sorrowes
shall
be
to
the
wicked
,
and
they
that
doe
commit
sinne
shall
not
be
vnpunished
.
And
the
Apostle
is
round
in
this
thing
:
Be
not
(
saith
he
)
deceiued
:
for
the
vnrighteous
shall
not
inherit
the
kingdome
of
God
.
1.
Cor.
6.
9.
Reason
3
A
third
reason
is
this
,
that
as
the
righteous
haue
(
only
)
true
title
to
the
promises
;
so
they
only
haue
faith
to
applie
them
:
say
that
wicked
men
had
(
which
they
haue
not
)
right
to
the
promise
of
life
,
yet
they
haue
no
faith
to
applie
it
to
themselues
in
particular
:
whatsoeuer
such
men
bragge
and
boast
of
,
2.
Thes.
3.
2.
yet
All
men
haue
not
faith
:
and
he
that
beleeueth
not
is
condemned
already
.
Mark
16.
●6
.
Many
in
their
fond
imaginations
,
thinke
,
2.
Sam.
21.
20.
that
like
the
Giant
of
Gath
,
they
haue
vpon
the
hand
of
their
faith
sixe
fingers
;
yet
(
alas
)
when
they
come
in
the
day
of
death
,
or
time
of
triall
to
feed
on
the
promise
,
to
put
on
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
Iudg.
1.
5.
6.
they
,
like
Adonibezek
,
will
lacke
their
thumbes
,
and
dye
for
want
of
feeding
on
the
food
and
true
bread
of
eternall
life
.
Now
the
righteous
haue
not
only
the
precious
promises
,
2.
Pet.
1.
1.
4.
but
also
precious
faith
,
the
which
two
being
vnited
,
carry
the
whole
man
into
the
garner
of
God
,
and
large
field
of
the
kingdome
of
glory
:
Ephes.
2.
8.
for
me
are
saued
by
faith
.
And
as
the
sickle
is
to
the
hand
of
the
reaper
,
so
is
faith
to
the
soule
of
the
righteous
and
true
beleeuer
.
Reason
4
And
last
of
all
,
hee
that
is
a
reaper
of
these
fauours
,
must
fit
himselfe
for
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
Gal.
4.
30.
and
that
the
Lord
of
glory
may
come
in
.
He
must
cast
out
the
bondwoman
,
and
her
sonne
,
Satan
and
all
the
seeds
of
sinne
;
1.
Cor.
5.
7.
purge
himselfe
of
the
old
leauen
;
cleanse
the
inside
of
the
cup
and
platter
of
his
soule
;
and
this
will
none
but
the
righteous
doe
:
vngodly
men
lodge
their
Lord
in
the
Inne
,
they
cast
him
into
a
cratch
,
suffer
him
to
knocke
,
yet
permit
him
not
to
enter
and
suppe
with
them
.
They
will
not
dresse
and
sweepe
the
floore
of
their
soules
,
cast
out
the
rotten
goundsell
in
the
barnes
of
their
hearts
,
and
emptie
themselues
of
that
rubbish
that
shutteth
the
doore
,
dammeth
vp
the
roome
,
and
shouldreth
out
this
heauenly
ricke
,
this
haruest
of
the
Lord
:
But
the
righteous
,
they
sweepe
the
house
,
make
way
for
the
haruest
,
Psal.
24.
7.
open
the
doore
,
pluck
vp
the
euerlasting
gates
,
and
giue
the
King
of

,
good
,
great
and
royall
entertainment
;

so
that
he
will
sup
with
them
,
they
with
him
,
and
partake
of
all
his
fatlings
.
Vse
1
And
seeing
the
point
thus
by
reason
and
Scripture
confirmed
,
let
vs
come
to
make
application
.
And
here
in
the
first
place
we
may
see
the
vanity
of
our
prophane
and
vngodly
persons
;
who
crie
out
(
as
the
people
in
former
times
)
if
wee
preach
this
doctrine
(
that
Only
the
righteous
reap
these
great
fauours
)
you
take
too
much
vpon
you
,
Moses
and
Aaron
;
for
all
the
congregation
is
holy
.
Thus
they
in
this
cleere
light
of
the
Gospell
,
say
(
what
?
in
their
hearts
,
with
the
foole
?
No
:
in
publique
,
and
seeke
to
defend
it
)
that
All
shall
be
heires
of
Gods
greatest
benefits
;
not
one
shall
perish
.
And
wee
say
too
,
that
if
they
be
righteous
(
and
for
number
as
the
dust
of
the
earth
,
or
starres
in
heauen
)
that
they
shal
all
inherit
the
kingdom
of
God
and
of
glorie
:
but
if
they
be
proud
,
vniust
,
deceitful
,
and
want
vpright
hearts
(
were
they
as
the
sand
on
the
sea
shore
,
drops
in
the
huge
Ocean
,
graines
on
the
ground
,
or
fishes
in
the
water
,
for
multitude
)
that
so
liuing
,
and
so
dying
,
they
must
reape
nothing
but
wrath
,
vengeance
,
and
the
largest
fields
of
Gods
highest
displeasure
euery
mothers
sonne
:
Darkness
,
trembling
,
terror
,
and
the
sting
of
the
second
death
shal
be
the
sheafe
of
their
field
,
the
corne
of
their
barne
,
and
the
best
graine
that
shall
be
preserued
for
the
garner
of
their
soules
;
for
they
were
neuer
vnited
to
Christ
,
haue
any
right
to
the
promises
,
truth
of
faith
in
their
hearts
,
neither
would
open
the
gates
of
their
soules
,
that
the
King
of
glorie
might
come
in
,
and
finde
fauourable
acceptation
:
And
yet
for
all
this
,
in
the
land
of
vprightnes
,
they
will
doe
wickedly
.
What
shal
I
say
?
or
where
shal
I
begin
?
and
when
make
an
end
?
Haue
wee
not
the
biting
vsurie
;
the
cursed
couetousnesse
;
the
deuouring
oppression
;
the
destroying
extortion
;
the
shop
of
dearth
,
darknes
and
deceit
the
vnequall
weight
,
mixt
ware
,
and
counterfeit
stuffe
?
And
,
as
sure
as
the
word
of
God
is
true
,
and
holy
and
iust
,
that
vpon
whom
these
foule
sinnes
shall
be
found
,
hee
shall
dye
the
death
.
I
know
that
this
is
a
hard
position
to
settle
in
their
minds
,
yet
he
that
denieth
this
for
a
truth
,
must
turne
Atheist
,
gainsay
that
there
is
a
resurrection
,
a
iudgement
to
come
,
and
a
iust
Iudge
that
reuengeth
all
wrong

Let

in

that

his

reape

though

Therefore
in

let
this

comfort
thy
soule
,
that
the
righteous

vpright

(

shall
be
the
reapers
of

And
seeing
this
is
thus
:
Let
no
man
say
,
that
It
is
in
vaine
to
serue
the
Lord
;
and
that
Godlinesse
is
not
gainfull
;
for
it
is
profitable
euery
manner
of
way
.
Iob
serues
not
God
for
nought
;
neither
doth
righteousnes
preuent
riches
.
The
fooles
prouerbe
is
,
that
He
that
vseth
plaine
dealing
shall
die
a
beggar
:
I
say
no
:
and
adde
more
,
that
hee
that
doth
not
vse
it
,
shall
dye
,
like
Iudas
,
a
very
beast
;
and
iudge
,
whether
is
the
better
?
I
can
tell
you
,
that

the

of

,
a
thing

set

seene

this
tidings
shal
come
,
and
will
not
tarry
;

and
then
shall
the
iust

by
his
faith
,
haue
boldnes
of

,
and
reape
that
riches
,
the
great
husband
in
heauen
had
sowne
and
prepared
from
the
beginning
for
the

.
Then
shall
he
haue
all
teares
wiped
from
his
eyes
,
rest
from
his
labours

and

see

yea
he
shall
reape

,
freedome
from
all
bondage
,

and

And
in
the
last
place
,
seeing
the
righteous
are
the
only
reapers
of
the
Lords
greatest
blessings
;
it
must
be
a
strong
motiue
to
moue
vs
to
be
such
.
We
would
all
be
set
at
libertie
,
both
spirituall
and
corporall
;
enjoy
all
the
blessings
that
the
great
Seeds-man
of
the
earth
and
heauen
hath
prouided
;
why
then
,
striue
to
be
vpright
in
heart
.
Noah
was
a
righteous
Preacher
,
Lot
was
iust
,
Paul
had
a
good
conscience
,
Ezekiah
walked
before
the
Lord
with
an
vpright
heart
;
and
these
were
freed
from
many
dangers
on
earth
,
died
at
the
last
with
honour
,
and
now
are
reapers
of
that
vnspeakable
light
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
But
because
many
boast
of
their
owne
righteousnes
:
crie
,
Stand
apart
,
I
am
more
holy
than
thou
,
yet
are
not
of
this
number
:
we
will
giue
some
true
trials
and
notes
of
vpright
and
iust
men
.
Notes
of
an
vpright
man
.
First
,
an
vpright
man
lookes
backward
and
forward
,
wipes
off
the
score
both
with
man
and
the
Lord
.
If
hee
haue
wronged
any
by
forged
cauillation
with
Zacheus
,
if
he
be
of
abilitie
,
then
he
maketh
full
restitution
:
if
hee
be
not
,
yet
will
he
make
confession
to
the
partie
;
(
if
conuenient
)
craue
pardon
,
with
a
resolution
,
that
if
euer
the
Lord
enable
him
,
he
will
restore
to
the
vttermost
farthing
;
and
will
not
faile
,
in
the
meane
time
,
to
inuocate
the
Lord
,
that
he
,
who
by
him
hath
been
iniured
,
may
some
way
or
other
gaine
more
,
through
his
bountie
,
than
by
his
wickednes
he
hath
been
depriued
of
.
This
is
a
true
note
of
one
vpright
in
heart
:
for
restitution
is
of
absolute
necessitie
to
righteousnes
;
at
the
least
in
resolution
and
will
,
where
wealth
to
restore
is
wanting
.
And
Iudas
in
this
,
went
beyond
many
,
and
will
rise
vp
in
iudgement
against
many
;
for
he
(
so
will
not
they
)
made
restitution
.
And
for
time
to
come
,
hee
will
doe
to
his
brother
as
he
would
be
done
vnto
;
alwaies
endeuouring
to
keepe
a
good
conscience
with
euery
person
,
in
euery
action
.
Wee
haue
some
that
turne
to
their
former
courses
,
when
as
they
haue
acknowledged
their
sinne
,
and
made
their
neighbour
satisfaction
,
as
the
theefe
,
that
(
when
the
sore
is
worne
out
of
his
hand
,
and
the
print
of
the
burning
iron
)
falls
to
filching
:
but
an
honest
heart
will
steale
no
more
,
neither
willingly
wrong
any
man
,
either
outwardly
in
action
,
speech
;
or
inwardly
by
cogitation
,
resolution
:
for
he
holds
,
that
the
least
motion
of
the
will
,
whereby
his
brother
is
wronged
,
is
a
sinne
,
and
to
be
abandoned
.
And
(
marke
this
)
he
will
proportion
his
almes
according
to
his
abilitie
,
and
the
poore
mans
necessitie
:
For
the
righteous
measureth
all
his
affaires
by
iudgement
.
Thus
much
of
his
carriage
towards
man
:
now
follow
trials
or
signes
of
his
iustice
towards
God
.
First
,
hee
will
truly
confesse
,
that
it
is
the
Lords
mercie
,
hee
was
not
long
agone
,
for
his
sinnes
,
consumed
.
Againe
,
he
mourneth
and
weepeth
,
that
he
hath
offended
so
good
a
God
,
so
mercifull
a
Father
.
Thirdly
,
he
only
relies
vpon
the
meere
mercie
of
God
,
and
sole
merits
of
Christ
Iesus
for
remission
and
iustification
;
hee
hateth
mans
merits
as
he
loueth
the
Lords
mercie
.
Besides
,
hee
taketh
no
action
in
hand
,
but
he
seeketh
good
ground
for
it
out
of
Gods
booke
;
hee
doth
not
,
like
a
carelesse
Carpenter
,
worke
at
an
aduentrue
without
his
Rule
;
but
like
a
boy
that
would
speake
true
Latin
,
who
first
lookes
at
the
precept
,
then
speaketh
:
so
hee
hath
first
an
eye
to
the
word
,
and
then
to
his
worke
.
Furthermore
,
hee
endeuoureth
to
bring
the
whole
man
to
the
subiection
of
Gods
law
;
as
all
the
vnderstanding
,
all
the
affection
,
all
the
will
;
he
would
haue
the
corrupt
part
of
serue
God
,
as
well
as
the
regenerate
.
And
this
is
only
to
be
found
in
the
righteous
,
and
in
none
other
:
for
hee
would
giue
all
his
members
,
and
all
of
all
his
members
,
as
so
many
weapons
to
serue
the
Lord
in
righteousnesse
.
And
finally
,
in
all
matters
of
triall
hee
will
appeale
to
God
,
and
make
him
chiefe
Iudge
of
all
things
:
for
hee
knoweth
that
the
Lord
is
iust
,
and
loueth
not
iniquitie
,
neither
will
peruert
iudgement
.
And
this
is
the
cause
,
why
good
men
haue
so
longed
,
that
Christ
would
come
to
iudge
the
earth
:
for
then
they
shal
haue
their
faithfulnes
discouered
,
ratified
,
rewarded
.
If
thou
finde
these
things
in
thee
,
thou
art
one
that
shall
reape
all
good
fruits
in
the
land
of
righteousnes
:
but
if
not
,
the
weeds
of
Gods
wrath
in
the
land
of
wickednes
.
And
this
shall
suffice
for
the
first
proposition
:
the
second
succeedeth
to
be
handled
in
its
order
,
whence
we
collect
,
that
Doct.
3
The
vpright
man
shall
be
the
only
merry
man
.
Nay
,
he
is
already
the
ioyfull
man
:
Few
thinke
so
,
but
it
is
so
.
This
doctrine
may
be
confirmed
by
the
seuerall
actions
done
by
the
righteous
,
being
in
diuers
conditions
,
and
of
contrary
vocations
,
functions
.
Was
not
the
King
glad
when
the
people
said

him

Did
not

goe
home
and
make
great
mirth

vnderstood
the
word
that
was
taught
them
?

and
wonderfull
is
that
ioy
which
the
vpright
haue
and
doe
feele
,
in
these
priuate
and
hidden
duties
:
for
then
the
Lord
reueileth
himselfe
most
cleerely
,
answereth
the
poore
petitioner
familiarly

yea
God
,

,
giueth
his
greatest
gifts
to
his
dearest
children
in
priuate
:
for
hee
vpbraideth
no
mans
person
.
And
how
haue
the
vpright
been
rauished
in
minde
,
with
the
meditation
of
the
glorie
of
God
and
his
wonderfull
workes
?
Psal.
19.
1.
Surely
as
a
man
beholding
the
Sunne
with
a
corporall
eye
,
in
his
brightnes
,
dazeleth
,
turneth
back
his
face
,
and
cannot
endure
it
;
so
may
the
vpright
man
with
the
eye
of
his
faith
see
such
excellencie
in
the
Sonne
of
righteousnes
,
that
for
the
time
,
he
may
be
astonied
,
varie
the
obiect
,
and
say
,
I
haue
enough
.
These
things
be
secret
,
yet
most
certaine
;
and
the
reasons
be
as
cleere
as
the
noone
day
.
Reason
1
For
first
,
his
sinne
is
pardoned
:
And
is
not
a
pardon
to
a
poore
condemned
person
,
a
thing
that
yeeldeth
great
ioy
,
vnspeakable
comfort
?
When
a
castaway
heareth
but
of
such
a
matter
,
how
will
his
dead
heart
reioyce
,
his
cold
spirits
dilate
them
.
themselues
,
and
his
sorrowfull
soule
gather
consolation
?
From
this
ground
,
Christ
,
vnto
the
man
that
was
sicke
of
the
palsie
,
Math.
9.
2.
said
,
Be
of
good
comfort
,
thy
sinnes
are
forgiuen
thee
.
Remission
of
sinne
is
the
mother
of
great
mirth
;
and
this
the
vpright
man
is
assured
of
.
Psal.
32.
2.
Reason
2
Againe
,
he
is
clothed
with
the
righteous
robes
of
Christ
,
and
adorned
with
all
the
sauing
graces
that
are
peculiar
to
the
Lords
people
:
and
is
not
this
a
matter
of
mirth
,
great
moment
?
Shall
a
man
reioyce
and
march
cheerefully
,
in
being
garnished
with
the
ornaments
of
nature
;
and
be
dead
in
the
nest
,
when
hee
is
wrapped
in
this
pure
and
white
linnen
?
What
saith
the
Church
in
this
respect
,
I
will
greatly
reioyce
in
the
Lord
,
Isai.
61.
10.
and
my
soule
shall
be
glad
in
my
God
:
Why
?
for
he
hath
clothed
me
with
the
garments
of
saluation
,
and
couered
me
with
the
robe
of
righteousnes
;
he
hath
decked
me
like
a
bridegroome
,
and
as
a
bride
tireth
her selfe
with
her
iewels
;
this
is
the
garment
of
true
gladnesse
.
Reason
3
And
furthermore
,
hath
not
the
vpright
man
a
good
conscience
?
Prou.
15.

Is
not
this
a
continuall
feast
?
No
colour
so
pleasand
to
the
eye
,
wine
to
the
pallate
,
or
any
obiect
to
the
outward
sense
,
as
this
is
to
the
inner
man
,
the
reasonable
soule
.
Oh
that
men
did
but
know
what
musicke
this
doth
make
!
what
ioy
it
carrieth
to
the
right
owner
of
it
!
then
would
they
neuer
doubt
of
the
truth
of
this
doctrine
:
but
they
doe
not
,
they
cannot
;
for
they
be
strangers
from
it
,
it
from
them
.
Reason
4
Besides
all
this
;
They
be
assured
of
rest
at
their
death
,

peace
in
heauen
;
the
resurrection
of
the
body
,
and
eternall
saluation
.
Psal.
16.
9.
This
made
Dauids
heart
glad
,
and
his
flesh
rest
in
hope
.
This
comforted
iust
Iob
in
all
his
troubles
,
that
he
should
liue
and
rise
againe
:
the
beleeuing
Iewes
in
the
expectation
of
this
,
Iob.
19.
26.
had
ioy
vnspeakable
glorious
:
Paul
went
on
cheerefully
in
the
assurance
of
the
same
.
And
(
beloued
)
let
the
world
think
what
they
will
or
can
,
here
is
the
true
roote
and
fountaine
,
out
of
which
all
sound
ioy
and
mirth
springeth
,
floweth
.
Vse
1
And
is
not
here
iustly
confuted
,
that
opinion
of
many
in
our
daies
,
who
thinke
that
Godlines
is
the
damper
of
all
mirth
,
and
cause
of
continuall
sorrow
?
Oh
(
say
such
)
become
so
strict
,
so
precise
?
then
farewell
ioy
and
all
true
comfort
;
for
it
bringeth
nothing
but
melancholy
and
vexation
of
spirit
.
This
is
the
Diuels
old
shift
to
make
men
vnwilling
to
take
the
path
to
heauen
,
and
see
into
the
consolations
of
a
Christian
course
.
I
remember
that
the
Spies
who
came
backe
from
Canaan
,
commended
the
countrey
,
but
said
they
saw
great
Giants
and
fenced
Cities
,
to
dishearten
those
which
should
enter
:
and
so
doth
Satan
Gods
Saints
and
seruants
at
this
day
.
And
when
all
is
done
,
that
can
be
done
,
the
vpright
man
shall
be
the
only
merry
man
:
for
his
yoke
is
easie
,
and
his
burthen
light
.
Me
thinkes
this
might
confirme
the
poynt
,
and
conuince
any
person
that
thinketh
otherwise
.
Why
do
not
men
cast
off
this
course
,
if
there
be
no
ioy
in
it
,
and
take
another
?
If
wee
should
see
a
man
that
hath
great
varietie
of
suites
,
still
weare
one
and
the
same
,
lay
the
rest
by
him
,
would
wee
not
affirme
,
that
hee
is
much
affected
with
that
he
weareth
?
If
a
man
haue
diuers
walkes
in
or
about
his
Orchard
,
yet
is
alwaies
found
to
be
in
one
,
&
no
other
;
wil
it
not
be
concluded
that
his
delight
in
that
exceedeth
?
So
the
children
of
God
still
weare
one
suite
,
keep
one
path
;
pleasure
or
profit
doth
not
alter
them
;
then
may
wee
not
absolutely
conclude
,
that
they
finde
mirth
in
running
the
waies
of
Gods
commands
;
pleasure
in
his
precepts
,
and
ioy
in
putting
on
the
robes
of
righteousnes
?
Obiection
.
But
the
common
obiection
is
:
None
more
sad
to
see
to
,
none
lesse
chearefull
to
behold
,
than
such
as
seeme
to
be
most
religious
,
vpright-hearted
.
Answer
.
Why
?
haue
we
not
already
heard
,
that
their
haruest
is
secret
,
hidden
?
For
as
in
laughter
,
the
heart
may
be
sorrowfull
;
so
vnder
a
sad
countenance
,
the
heart
may
be
merry
.
And
as
the
wicked
haue
many
a
secret
sting
,
the
righteous
feele
not
;
so
haue
the
vpright
hidden
comforts
,
that
the
wicked
know
not
.
And
it
is
the
nature
and
very
propertie
of
great
things
,
in
stead
of
laughter
in
the
face
,
to
cause
great
ioy
in
the
heart
.
Let
a
man
finde
a
rich
Iewel
or
bagge
of
siluer
in
the
streete
,
will
he
not
goe
away
with
a
composed
and
setled
countenance
,
when
as
another
that
stoopes
at
a
trifle
will
fall
a
smiling
?
Hast
thou
not
seene
one
that
drinkes
strong
wine
,
wipe
his
mouth
,
stroke
the
breast
,
and
neuer
change
the
former
looke
;
and
yet
(
peraduenture
)
another
that
drinkes
but
water
,
will
smile
,
laugh
and
seeme
a
merry
man
?
The
one
doth
warme
and
glad
the
heart
,
the
other
only
force
a
fained
kinde
of
laughter
.
And
seldome
hast
thou
seene
a
man
(
outwardly
)
merry
in
the
fruition
of
great
matters
:
neither
doe
wee
reade
of
Christ
,
that
hee
(
and
who
euer
had
greater
cause
?
)
in
all
his
life
time
laughed
.
The
wine
of
the
grape
and
water
of
life
,
will
glad
the
soule
,
and
worke
(
inwardly
)
a
depth
of
confort
;
though
it
alwaies
breake
not
foorth
and
be
conspicuous
in
the
beholders
:
so
the
things
of
this
world
may
make
a
man
outwardly
merry
;
but
this
mirth
is
not
sound
,
constant
,
and
will
but
end
〈◊〉
mourning
.
Wee
must
consider
,
that
〈…〉
the
mindes
motion
,
〈…〉
diuersitie
of
effects
in
mans
our
〈◊〉
●isposition
.
Let
the
infant
in
the
mothers
arme
,
cast
its
eyes
on
some
bugbeare
,
will
it
not
fall
a
crying
?
yet
let
it
looke
the
bearer
in
the
face
,
then
,
anone
,
it
will
laugh
,
reioyce
,
and
fall
to
smiling
:
so
when
the
vpright
man
considereth
the
many
and
strong
corruptions
that
be
in
him
;
the
greatnes
and
number
of
sinnes
that
haue
proceeded
from
him
;
the
long
time
and
extraordinary
meanes
of
grace
that
hath
been
abused
by
him
;
he
cannot
but
be
troubled
in
heart
,
and
hang
downe
the
head
:
but
on
the
contrary
,
when
hee
calleth
to
minde
,
that
God
accepts
the
weak
and
sincere
endeuour
for
the
deed
;
how
Christ
is
his
perfection
;
and
that
the
Spirit
will
one
day
cleane
dissolue
&
root
out
the
cursed
worke
of
Satan
,
and
finish
the
good
work
of
grace
he
hath
begun
in
him
:
then
he
gathereth
comfort
,
plucketh
vp
his
heart
,
and
is
a
right
merry
man
.
He
hath
his
daies
wherein
he
is
a
man
of
sorrow
;
as
,
at
his
first
conuersion
,
when
the
soule
is
trauelling
of
the
New-birth
,
with
many
a
sigh
and
deepe
groane
:
againe
in
some
desertion
,
violent
tentation
,
or
time
of
Gods
fiery
triall
and
probation
.
And
finally
,
when
the
walls
of
Ierusalem
lie
waste
;
the
sepulchres
of
his
Fathers
be
ruinated
▪
and
the
course
of
Religion
infringed
,
corrupted
;
then
his
sighes
are
many
,
and
his
heart
is
heauy
.
Neh.

But
what
for
all
this
?
Is
not
the
doctrine
sound
?
Yes
:
for
ioy
shall
breake
foorth
in
the
morning
,
peace
will
come
▪
and
thy
bitter
teares
shall
be
as
a
fresh
and
coole
〈◊〉
to
a
wearie
and
thirstie
tra●eller
,
to
comfo●●
〈◊〉
ouer-tyred
spirit
.
And
I
dare
set
downe
this
peremptorie
conclusion
,
that
,
In
the
greatest
〈◊〉
the
vpright
man
is
the
subject
of
〈◊〉
mirth
,
the
only
merry
man
:
for
the
cause
of
his
ioy
is
alwaies
great
and
constant
,
though
the
effects
be
not
proportionable
.
Vse

Againe
,
this
doctrine
may
serue
to
trie
if
our
ioy
be
sound
,
and
our
mirth
such
as
is
of
moment
:
doth
it
spring
from
the
vprightnes
of
thy
heart
?
and
art
thou
righteous
in
all
thy
courses
?
why
then
thou
art
the
merry
man
indeed
,
else
not
:
Wicked
men
may
laugh
,
but
(
alas
!
)
they
haue
little
cause
:
The
bread
of
deceit
may
make
some
persons
pleasant
for
the
present
;
but
death
will
be
in
the
pot
;
their
sweete
morsels
must
be
vomited
vp
againe
,
and
become
as
grauell
in
their
mouthes
.
Let
such
reioyce
,
but
woe
to
them
,
for
they
shall
one
day
waile
and
weepe
;
their
●ghter
shall
be
turned
into
mourning
,
their
wine
to
wormewood
.
And
who
would
not
wonder
(
but
that
their
hearts
are
seared
)
that
they
haue
any
figure
or
shew
of
mirth
and
gladnes
at
all
?
But
we
will
omit
them
,
and
commiserate
them
,
seeing
their
ioy
is
not
sound
:
and
sudden
sorrow
shall
surely
follow
.
Vse
3
And
if
the
vpright
man
be
the
only
merry
man
here
on
earth
among
his
enemies
,
and
singeth
his
Hebrew
songs
,
with
delight
,
in
a
strange
land
:
Then
what
joy
shall
he
haue
in
heauen
,
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
communion
of
all
the
blessed
Saints
and
Angels
?
Can
the
Apprentice
reioyce
in
his
bondage
,
and
not
in
his
freedome
?
Shall
the
captiue
sing
in
his
shackels
?
what
will
he
do
when
the
prison
doore
is
opened
,
and
hee
at
libertie
?
If
Dauid
could
dance
before
the
Arke
,
how
will
hee
leape
before
the
Lambe
?
Shall
Peter
cry
out
,
It
is
good
to
be
here
,
(
being
but
in
the
transfiguration
)
?
Oh!
what
will
hee
say
,
when
and
where
hee
is
not
deceiued
?
Is
it
possible
for
an
Hebrew
to
sing
and
play
in
Babylon
?
and
not
be
rauished
with
ioy
in
the
house
of
Bethel
?
will
strangers
doe
thus
from
home
?
what
then
will
they
doe
in
the
heauen
of
heauens
?
And
how
should
this
carry
the
minds
of
the
vpright
to
thinke
of
their
latter
end
,
to
desire
the
comming
of
the
Lord
,
and
restauration
of
all
things
?
Truly
this
,
if
it
were
felt
in
part
,
tasted
here
below
,
and
seriously
thought
vpon
,
it
would
fill
the
heart
with
ioy
vnutterable
glorious
;
make
our
Pauls
long
to
be
loosed
,
and
Iohns
to
crie
,
Come
Lord
Iesus
,
come
quickly
.
The
little
experience
that
we
haue
,
what
ioy
is
in
an
vpright
heart
here
,
must
make
vs
wonder
at
that
which
shall
be
in
heauen
hereafter
.
A
cluster
of
grapes
,
brought
from
Canaan
,
proued
that
there
was
a
very
good
land
,
wine
pleasant
,
and
in
abundance
.
Vse

And
this
,
in
the
last
place
,
should
be
a
strong
load-stone
and
motiue
to
cause
vs
to
cast
off
sinne
,
and
to
be
righteous
and
religious
.
We
all
would
faine
be
merry
and
haue
glad
hearts
;
why
this
is
the
only
way
,
and
there
is
not
another
:
let
vs
then
take
Dauids
counsell
,
and
taste
how
good
the
Lord
is
;
drinke
of
this
water
,
though
it
be
brackish
on
the
top
,
like
the
salt
sea
,
yet
it
will
proue
sweeter
in
the
bottome
:
Men
are
in
this
thing
(
as
the
prouerb
is
)
worse
feared
,
than
hurt
.
Children
cast
away
the
new
coate
,
because
at
the
first
it
pincheth
them
;
but
after
two
or
three
daies
wearing
,
they
would
pine
and
pule
,
if
it
should
be
tooke
from
them
.
Sinners
are
like
the
sluggard
;
when
the
winde
bloweth
in
at
the
creuises
of
the
walls
&
windows
,
the
curtaines
drawne
about
him
,
and
he
wrapped
in
the
warme
rags
of
his
bedding
;
Oh
how
loth
he
is
to
peepe
out
,
leaue
his
pillow
,
and
to
put
on
his
cold
apparell
:
yet
when
hee
hath
leaped
foorth
of
his
bed
,
and
clothed
himselfe
with
his
old
attire
;
he
would
not
for
a
piece
of
siluer
,
be
in
his
former
place
and
patches
he
was
cast
into
,
and
folded
in
:
So
an
vnrighteous
person
hee
findeth
warmth
in
the
old
rags
of
sinne
,
is
vnwilling
to
put
off
the
reliques
of
his
father
Adam
,
yet
if
once
hee
had
but
done
it
,
and
clothed
himselfe
with
the
righteous
robes
of
Christ
Iesus
,
he
would
not
for
a
world
be
in
his
former
condition
of
clothing
.
And
name
the
worst
&
hardest
thing
in
religion
;
yet
it
will
bring
ioy
to
the
doer
:
yea
,
they
that
mourne
(
in
the
very
act
)
shall
haue
(
or
in
the
euent
)
great
comfort
;
and
the
greater
sorrow
,
the
more
solace
.
Example
.
Peters
sinne
caused
Peters
weeping
;
but
his
weeping
did
procure
matter
of
mirth
:
Zacheus
in
restoring
had
more
comfort
than
in
deceiuing
.
But
men
will
not
trie
and
wash
in
this
poole
of
Siloam
;
Iordan
is
not
regarded
of
the
leprous
Naamans
and
Syrians
of
our
daies
.
I
haue
obserued
that
when
boyes
goe
to
bathe
,
they
feele
with
a
finger
,
touch
with
a
toe
;
and
if
it
be
cold
,
at
the
first
they
shrinke
,
draw
back
,
put
on
their
apparell
,
and
vow
they
will
not
wash
till
weather
and
water
be
warmer
;
when
as
one
of
more
experience
and
better
resolution
leapeth
in
,
and
after
he
hath
swom
one
or
two
bouts
,
feeleth
no
part
so
cold
as
that
which
is
cut
of
the
riuer
:
So
fearefull
and
irresolute
persons
come
to
this
poole
of
Repentance
;
but
either
they
thinke
its
hard
,
cold
and
painfull
,
or
that
the
time
to
come
will
be
better
and
fitter
,
and
so
the
sunne
of
their
life
sets
,
they
neither
wash
at
all
,
nor
find
out
this
hidden
confort
.
But
let
me
entreate
thee
to
make
triall
of
this
matter
;
mourne
for
thy
sinne
;
restore
the
wrongs
done
by
deceit
;
get
faith
in
Christ
;
labour
for
an
honest
heart
;
and
then
if
thou
finde
not
the
doctrine
true
,
cast
off
righteousnes
,
goe
to
thy
old
course
,
count
me
a
false
prophet
,
and
curse
me
when
thou
diest
.
