When
Gods
wrath
is
either
feared
or
felt
,
humiliation
of
all
,
and
euery
one
is
to
be
practised
.
I
Will
vse
no
repetitions
:
for
our
natures
are
so
desirous
of
nouelties
,
that
wee
say
not
of
old
matter
repeated
againe
,
as
of
old
wine
in
respect
of
new
,
the
old
is
better
:
but
wee
would
bee
fed
with
variety
[

,
yea
somtimes
with
quailes
in
our
curiosity
rather
then
Manna
,
otherwise
I
could
bee
content
to
reflect
on
things
formerly
deliuered
,
and
giue
you
at
least
the
abstract
of
all
in
a
briefe
Epitomie
:
Onely
as
a
ground
worke
of
our
further
intended
fabricke
(
which
is
,
as
in
other
materiall
buildings
to
pull
downe
,
and
to
raise
vp
,
to
pull
downe
the
haughtie
proud
some
pegs
lower
,
and
to
lift
vp
the
humbled
penitent
,
some
straines
and
notes
higher
.
)
I
desire
you
to
remember
thus
much
in
the
last
propounded
point
,
(
pretermitting
purposely
all
the
rest
)
that
Ezekiah
for
the
remouall
of
that
wrath
which
was
vpon
him
,
and
his
people
,
humbles
himselfe
,
as
also
the
inhabitants
of
Iudah
and
Ierusalem
:
from
whose
president
,
according
to
my
purpose
and
promise
,
I
first
prescribe
my
Penitents
practice
.
That
a
whole
Nation
,
and
euery
particular
man
,
yea
euery
particular
family
,
and
euery
soule
,
which
is
of
yeares
of
discretion
,
capable
of
godly
sorrow
for
sin
,
ought
to
humble
themselues
before
the
Lord
in
fasting
,
weeping
,
mourning
,
&c.
in
the
Church
,
the
familie
,
the
Oeconomie
,
when
the
wrath
of
God
is
either
threatned
,
or
feared
or
felt
,
according
to
the
proportion
of
this
wrath
in
the
extension
or
the
limitation
of
it
:
for
if
it
hold
this
humiliation
in
a
whole
nation
,
then
much
more
in
a
family
,
in
a
particular
person
,
sinning
or
punished
for
sinne
:
neither
indeed
is
this
precept
,
calling
for
practice
,
any
paradox
,
but
such
as
is
propt
with
the
pillars
of
truth
,
and
wants
not
reasons
Theologicall
,
to
confirme
it
;
beside
many
moe
euen
from
Gods
owne
command
,
and
the
practice
of
his
Church
from
time
to
time
,
with
her
members
.
First
for
Gods
command
,
Ioel
as
the
mouth
and
message
of
God
,
summons
all
of
all
sorts
,
all
sinners
to
this
humiliation
,
enumerating
the
iudgements
of
God
vpon
their
lands
and
fields
by
the
deuouring
Palmerworme
,
Locust
,

like
a
virgin
girded
with
sackcloth
,
for
the
husband
of
her
youth
,
he
inuites
the
husbandmen
to
be
ashamed
,
&
the
vinedressers
to
howle
;
yea
he
inuites
the
Priests
and
Ministers
of
the
Altar
to
lament
and
lye
all
night
in
sackcloath
,
to
sanctifie
a
Fast
,
and
call
a
solemn
assembly
:
yea
he
commands
the
Elders
and
the
Inhabitants
of
the
land
to
be
gathered
into
the
house
of
the
Lord
and
to
cry
vnto
the
Lord
:
yea
with
more
vehemency
,
as
redoubling
his
iniunction
,
hee
would
haue
all
and
euery
one
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
,
Prince
,
Priest
and
people
,
euen
elders
and
youngers
,
to
turne
to
the
Lord
in
fasting
,
weeping
and
mourning
,
to
rent
their
hearts
and
not
their
garments
,
&c.
yea
he
spares
not
the
very
bride
and
and
bridegroome
,
but
brings
them
out
of
their
chamber
,
and
closet
,
to
weepe

mourne
before
the
Lord
.

,
prescribing
a
humble
and
submisse
cariage
one
towards
another
,
giuing
his
reason
,
because
God
resists
the
proud
,
and
giues
grace
vnto
the
humble
,
by
an
excellent
climax

gradation
goes
from
humility

from

The

of

,
from
the
very

grounds
,
euen
in
the
same
words
,
is
vrged

though
pressed
also
in

words

be

Consonant
to
this
precept
hath
been
from
time
to
time
the
practice
of
the
Saints
of
God
,
not
onely
in
a
constant
and
conscionable
course
(
omitted
now
by
too
many
)
humbling
themselues
for
their
daily
slips
&
transgressions
,
but
more
peculiarly
in
extraordinary
humiliations
,
meeting
the
Lord
,
as
did
here
Ezekiah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem
,
when
his
iudgements
were
but
threatned
,
when
the
brandished
sword
of
his
wrath
was
onely
drawne
and
flourished
,
as
we
may
see
in
the
example
of
the
Niniuites
,
at
the
threatning
of
Ionas
,
Ion.

,

In
the
example
of
the
Israelites
,
terrified
from
the
Lord
by
Samuel
at
Mizpah
,

wonderfully
straitned
[

.
when
the
children
of
Moab
and
Ammon
with
their
mighty
martiall
troupes
,
came
against
him
,
from
beyond
the
sea
on
this
side
Syria
,
(
as
our
Ezekiah
was
in
the
like
exigents
when
the
strong
and
numerous
powers
of
Senacherib
besieged
Ierusalem
)
hee
hauing
no
power
,
nor
strength
to
resist
them
,
betakes
himself
to
the
strong
God
,
the
tower
of
the
righteous
,
the
Lord
of
hosts
,
and
in
the
most
serious
humiliation
that
euer
I
read
of
,
he
and
all
Iudah
standing
before
the
Lord
,
with
their
wiues
,
their
children
and
their
little
ones
[

,
crying
,
weeping
,
fasting
,
and
importuning
the
Lord
with
most
feruent
and
effectuall
prayers
,
there
was
the
most
excellent
effect
in
the
discomfiture
of
their
enemies
,
in
the
most
miraculous
manner
,
most
glorious
to
God
,
most
aduantageous
to
Israel
,
that
euer
was
instanced
in
any
age
,
before
or
since
:
so
when
Ioshua
and
the
men
of
Israel
fled
before
the
men
of
Ai
,
and
turned
their
backs
of
the
Canaanites
,
to
the
losse
of
36
men
,
Ioshua
rent
his
clothes
,
fell
to
the
earth
vpon
his
face
,
before
the
Arke
of
the
Lord
,
[

,
when
the
Lord
was
prouoked
and
angred
by
their
taking
of
strange
wiues
of
the
Canaanites
:
what
Nehemiah
did
when
he
heard
of
the
great
affliction
&
reproach
of
them
,
that
were
left
of
the
captiuity
,
and
the
breaking
downe
of
the
wall
of
Ierusalem
,
and
burning
the
Gates
thereof
with
fire
:
namely
,
that
in
all
these
afflictions
,
these
feares
,
these
sinnes
,
these
sufferings
:
they
humbled
their
soules
as
here

Ezekiah
,
vnder
the
mighty
hand
of
God
,

had
a
blessed
issue
,
a
gracious
answer

excellent

vpon

deepe

The
Ministers
must
principally
be
humbled
,
and
seeke
to
humble
others
.
BVt
because
our
nature
is
ready
to
post
off
duties
,
and
to
take
that
which
is
said
in
generall
to
all
,
as
if
it
belonged
to
none
in
particular
;
like
some
master
that
hath
oft
his
worke
neglected
,
when
hee
speakes
to
all
his
seruants
at
once
,
because
he
inioynes
not
euery
one
his
taske
:
I
therefore
subdiuide
this
duty
into
seuerall
Branches
,
and
cut
and
carue
euery
one
his
part
and
portion
.
First
then
,
we
that
are
Ministers
wee
must
be
ring-leaders
in
the
dance
of
this
duty
,
we
must
tread
out
first
these
humble
modest
measures
,
we
must
prologue
and
beginne
the
first
Act
in
these
penitentiall
parts
;
not
onely
for
our
owne
personall
priuate
sinnes
,
which
commonly
come
to
be
publique
and
publisht
,
as
daingerously
scandalous
to
the
weake
,
exemplary
to
the
wicked
,
offensiue
to
the
godly
,
and
a
stumbling-blocke
to
all
;
must
we
be
humbled
euen
to
the
very
dust
,
beat
as
it
were
euen
to

,
weeping
if
it
were

more
bitterly

,
to

till

haue
washt

away
all
these
aspersions
and
blots

to

Secondly
,
those
also
are
in
the
same
predicament
,
whose
eyes
are
so
shut
that
they
cannot
discerne
of
the
plagues
that
are
threatned
in
the
Booke
of
God
,
such
as
on
whom
the
Lord
hath
poured
the
spirit
of
deepe
sleepe
and
slumber
,
and
hath
closed
their
eyes
as
well
as
the
peoples
,
that
seeing
they
see
not
,
nor
vnderstand
not
;
such
as
to
whom
the
vision
is
as
a
sealed
booke
;
such
as
erre
through
Wine
,
and
are
out
of
the
way
through
strong
drinke
,
erring
in
vision
and
stumbling
in
iudgement
:
such
as
are
either
doltishly
ignorant
,
blind
leaders
of
the
blind
,
or
selfe
conceited
of
their
knowledge
,
as
were
some
in
Ieremies
time
,
which
had
onely
a
superficiall
swimming
braine-knowledge
,
(
though
indeed
disioyned
from
sanctification
,
there
was
no
wisedome
in
them
)
cannot
discerne
either
of
the
cause
of
plagues
and
wrath
,
or
of
the
curse
or
cure
of
sin
,
to
auoyd
sin
,
or
to
feare
the
effects
of
sinne
either
in
themselues
or
others
,
are
here
iustly
reprehensible
.
Thirdly
,
these
are
yet
more
culpable
,
who
when
according
their
place
and
calling
they
should
sharply
reproue
the
sinnes
of
a
people
ouer
whom
they
are
placed
as
Pastors
,
and
shew
them
the
annexed
iudgements
to
deterre
and
affright
them
from
it
,
(
as
the
prickes
doe
hinder
the
hardy
child
from
plucking
of
the
canker-rose
)
reuealing
to
them
all
these
plagues
(
as
sparkes
from
the
fire
of
wrath
)
that
are
Pedissequae
,
as
handmaids
or
attendants
on
sinne
,
recorded
by
Moses
and
the
Prophets
,
as
did
Esay
,
Ieremy
,
Ezekiel
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Prophets
before
alledged
;
they
on
the
contrary
,
as
did
their
predecessors
in
former
times
,
(
which
euery
where
are
declaimed
against
)
as
temporizing
for
their
owne
ends
,
sow
pillowes
vnder
their
elbowes
,
to
make
them
take
a
deeper
and
deadlier
nap
in
sinne
,
they
heale
the
hurts
of
the
people
with
faire
words
,
they
cry
peace
,
peace
,
and
all
is
well
,
when
indeed
there
is
no
peace
to
the
wicked
,
saith
my
God
[
k
](A04389-e35800-b)
k

.
;
they
prophesie
lyes
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
euery
one
that
walks
after
the
stubbornnesse
of
his
owne
heart
,
they
say
,
no
euill
shall
come
;
when
indeed
Hannibal

,

is

at

dawbe
with
vntempered
morter
[
m
](A04389-e35830-b)
m
Ezek.
13.10
,
15.
,
dawbing
vp
the
consciences
of
poore
people
;
or
as
the
Prophet
Osee
termes
them
,
they
are
Fowlers
,
who
both
by
their
flattery
catch
for
themselues
[
n
](A04389-e35850-b)
n

.
,
and
by
their
fraudulency
bring
the
people
into
the
net
and
snare
of
Gods
wrath
,
euen
vnawares
.
Such
as
these
were
they
in
Ieremies
time
,
who
when
they
should
haue
preuented
the
captiuity
,
by
turning
the
people
from
their
wicked
wayes
,
and
from
the
euill
of
their
inuentions
,
which
they
might
haue
done
,
had
they
stood
in
Gods
counsell
,
Fourthly
,
yet
worse
,
if
worse
can
be
,
are
those
that
neither
forewarne
of
the
wrath
and
vengeance
to
come
,
as
sinnes
due
desert
,
neither
with
patience
will
permit
others
what
they
ought
to
doe
themselues
;
such
as
these
were
the
Pseudo-prophets
,
false
Prophets
,
and
false
Apostles
,
who
alwayes
opposed
the
true
:
Such
an
one
was
Pashur
,
who
smit
Ieremy
,
and
put
him
in
prison
[
o

o
Ier.
20.1
,

,
as
also
other
of
the
Priests

,
bitter
against
him
to
the
very
death
[
p
](A04389-e35940-b)
p

26.
,
because
he
prophesied
against
the
Temple
,
and
against
the
City
and
Shiloh
:
who
had
indeed
preuailed
in
their
purposes
,
notwithstanding
all
his
apologies
,
had
he
not
been
deliuered
by
a
Nobleman

This
success
had
Christ
himselfe
amongst

,

he
had
with

such
as
these
are
so
farre
from
turning
away
iudgement
from

by
bringing
them
to

,
that
indeed
they
bring
iudgements

their

,
as
did

Amaziah

these
must
beare
the
iniquity
of

bee
remoued

the

so
the

also

must
moue
in
the

Moses

and

,
as
they
are
desirous
to
imitate
their
fame-worthy
heroicke
acts
in
other
particulars
;
as
also
that
all
Empresses
,

,

,
&c.
would
not
thinke
themselues
too
good
to
lay
off
their
gorgeous

,
their
costly
raiment
,
to
remit
their
reuels
,
and
restraine
their

;
after
the
example
of

,
(
the
goodliest

greatest
Lady
one
of

that
the

in

Me
thinks
there
be
reasons
and
inducements
(
besides
these
presidents
and
exemplary
patternes
,
which
man
is
naturally
apt
to
imitate
in
the
worst
things
)
to
perswade

inforce

best

As
first
,
because

yea
euen
of

this

ought
to
be
the
end

aime
and

of

actions

of
the

,
the

who

aboue

the
more
that

,

cast

,
and
fall

of

,
exceedingly
honour
the
great
King
that
rules
ouer
them
,
and
their
Prouinces
,
when
they
at
set
and
certaine
times
come
to
acknowledge
their
homage
,
Fealty
,
subordination
and
subiection
vnto
him
:
and
indeed
as
the
greater
the
person
is
that
sinnes
,
the
more
God
is
dishonoured
:
so
the
greater
the
person
is
that
is
humbled
,
the
more
is
the
Lord
honoured
;
euen
as
in
the
Irish
warres
,
if
a
great
Earle
,
a
head
Rebell
had
come
in
,
and
submitted
himselfe
to
an
offended
Princesse
,
it
had
beene
more
honour
to
a
Maiden
Queene
,
then
if
this
had
beene
done
by
an
ordinary
Kearne
:
so
the
humiliation
of
a
great
Peere
,
brings
more
glory
to
God
then
of
an
inferiour
person
.
Besides
,
as
a
further
fuell
to
this
motiue
,
let
this
be
as
a
Nouerint
vniuersi
,
knowne
vnto
all
,
to
high
&
low
,
mighty
men
,
and
meane
men
,
that
who
euer
haue
taken
away
glory
from
God
by
sinning
,
as
indeed
all
flesh
haue
by
deprauing
themselues
in
originall
and
actuall
sinnes
,
depriued
God
of
that
glory
hee
requires
of
men
and
Angels
,
euen
the
very

indiuiduall
men
,
or

,
in

them
,
euen
here
in

in

againe
restore

Secondly
,
by
this
meanes
of
humiliation
,
all
great
personages
shew
their
gratitude
,
&
thankfulnesse
vnto
God
,
in
thus
honouring
him
,
who
hath
honoured
them
:
yea
they
take
the
wisest
and
the
safest
course
,
to
continue
and
perpetuate
their
honours
to
themselues
,
and
their
houses
and
posterity
:
for
as
pride
hath
beene
the
ruine
and
demolition
of
many
great
families
[
g
](A04389-e36720-b)
g
Vide
exempla
supra
allegata
.
,
so
humiliation
hath
beene
their
proppe
and
vpholder
,
in
withholding
and
diuerting
from
them
such
Iudgements
as
their
sinnes
,
or
the
sinnes
of
their
predecessors
haue
deserued
.
Thirdly
,
as
they
by
their
humiliation
bring
glory
vnto
God
,
and
good
to
themselues
,
so
they
bring
much
good
to
others
,
much
benefit
accrewes
to
the
soule
of
an
inferiour
by
the
humiliation
of
a
superiour
,
and
that
both
by
their
example
for
imitation
[

First
for
imitation
,
the
example
of
great
ones
as
it
is
forceable
in
vtramque
partem
,
both
towards
the
better
,
&
towards
the
worse
:
as
their
ill
example
confirmes
the
inferiours
in
sinne
,
so
their
good
example
conformes
them
to
good
:
their
example
saith
to
the
common
people
(
chiefly
to
their
dependants
,
their
families
&
obseruers
)
as
Abimelec

and
Gideon
in
another
case
to
their
souldiers
,
as
yee
see

so
doe
you
;
or
as
S.
Paul
once
to
those
he
writes
vnto
,
Be
ye
followers
of

,
nay
they
will
follow
:
If

that
same
testimony
of
his
house
[
l
](A04389-e36820-b)

.
;
if
the
Centurion
be
a
religious
man
one
that
feareth
God
,
his
seruants
and
souldiers
will
bee
obsequious
and
obedient

and
him

;
yea
if
the
King
of
Niniuie
humble
himselfe
,
then
his
nobles
will
be
humbled
too
;
if
his
Nobles
,
then
the
common
people
;
if
the
common
people
,
then
the
very
beasts
[
o

.
:
yea
if
(
as
it
is
in
my
Text
)
that
Ezekiah
the
King
bee
humbled
,
then
not
onely
his
Peeres
,
and
the
Elders
of
his
people
,
(
who
conioyned
in
such
a
case
with
Dauid
)
but
euen
the
inhabitants
,
the
vulgar
sort
,
the
commons
of
Iudah
and
Ierusalem
are
humbled
likewise
?
Oh
the
Adamantine
force
of
example
!
the
blessed
president
of
great
persons
,
is
as
the
first
mouer
in
the
heauens
,
or
as
the
first
wheele
in
a
clock
,
after
whose
motion
all
the
rest
moue
:
it
is
as
the
Captaine
that
precedes
his
following
souldiers
,
and
giues
the
first
onset
;
as
the
bell-weather
that
goes
before

flocke
;
as
the
henne
that
clocks
the
chickens
after

.
Secondly
,
great
good
it
brings
in
Gods
acceptation
;
for
as
the
Lord
visits
the
sinnes
of

ones
,
sometime
euen
vpon

,
as

Lastly
,
the
example
of
Dauid
is
remarkable
,
when
the
Lord
in
a
mercifull
Iustice
,
or
Iust
mercie
,
sends
to
Dauid
after
hee
had
numbred
the
people
,
this
option
or
choyce
,
that
he
should
chuse
him
whether
he
would
fly
before
his
enemies
in

,
or
endure
the
famine
for

three
yeares
,
or
the
plague
and
pestilence
for
3.
dayes
,
he
makes
choyce
of
the
last
:
why
so
?
not
onely
for
the
maine
cause
as
hee
reueales
,
because
the
mercies
of
God
are
great
,
but
as
some
note
,
because
as
hee
had
beene
an
occasion
of
euill
to
the
people
,
by
his
sinne
,
he
would
beare
part
of
the
burthen
:
for
in
warre
though
his
subiects
had
smarted
,
it
is
likely
he
would
haue
escaped
by
flight
,
or
by
strong
holds
in
some
castles
or
fortifications
;
or
in
dearth
and
famine
had
there
beene
one
pecke
of
corne
in
the
land
,
it
is
likely
he
should
haue
had
part
;
his
part
like
the
Lyons
part
in
the
Fable
[
r
](A04389-e37280-b)
r
Apud
Aesopum
,
in
all
probability
,
shold
haue
been
best
:
but
from
the
plague
there
was
no
euasion
,
the
arrow
of
the
Almightie
might
haue
hit
him
,
as
soon
as
the
meanest
in
his
Kingdome
.
Besides
in
this
choise
he
aimed
also
at
the
good
of
his
people
:
for
had
war
come
vpon
them
,
they
would
haue
trusted
in
their
sheild
and
target
,
in
their
sword
and
bow
,
and
the
strength
of
Israel
:
had
famine
beene
sent
,
the
poorer
sort
and
Mechanickes
perhaps
had
felt
the
chiefest
smart
:
the
richer
sort
and
monied
men
would
either
haue
sent
for
corne
into
other
Countryes
,
as
Iacob
into
Aegypt
[
