OH
;
No
doore
now

shut
in

,
no
entrie
is
kept
,
but
she
lyeth
open
to
all
naughtie
spirits
,
which
corrupt
the
soule
.
No
vncleane
thought

no
filthie

thence
expelled

if
the
spirit
of
fornication
come
,
it
entreth

if
the

if
the

if

hellish

none

none

For
she

no

no

And
as
to
the

of

there
is
no
accesse
for
an
vngodly

;
so
at

no

could
touch

But
perhaps
I
may
seeme
to
speake
incredible
things
,
to
those
especially
that
knew
not
thy
former
estate
,
and
onely
see
the
destruction
wherein
thy
soule
now
lieth
.
This
surely
is
the
cause
why
I
weepe
without
remedie
,
because
I
knew
thee
:
and
why
I
sorrow
vncessantly
,
because
I
remember
how
long
it
is
,
vntill
I
see
thee
returne
vnto
thy
wonted

glory
.
Which
for
all
that

iudge
impossible

hauing
sliden
out

were

to
name
is
vnseemely
.
This
man
(
I
say
)
ought
not
to
misdoubt
of
saluation
,
though
such
wickednesse
enuiron
him
euen
to
the
last
gaspe
.
And
if
any
persist
in
hardnesse
,
as
the
man
that
turneth
his
eyes
from
the
light
,
damnifieth
nothing
the
light
,
but
damneth
himselfe
to
darkenes
;
so
he
that
contemneth
vertue
through
a
heart
that
cannot
repent
,
estrangeth
himselfe
from
saluation
.
And
as
a
Physition
that
suffreth
wrong
at
the
handes
of
phrenticke
and
brainesicke
men
,
sorroweth
not
,
nor
is
displeased
a
whit
at
it
,
but
doth
all
things
that
appertaine
to
ease
the
maladie
of
the
patient
,
(
for
the
wrong
is
caused
by
paine
:
)
&
as
you
may
see
the
Physition
glad
at
a
little
amendment
of
the
sicke
person
,
and
to
execute
the
residue
of
his
charge
with
ioy
and
cheerefulnes
,
not
keeping
in
mind
the
wrong
done
,
but
respecting
the
health
of
the
patient
:
so
,
much
rather
God
,
And
albeit
reason
sufficiciently
shew
the
contrary
,
yet
least
you
should
stagger
in
the
matter
,
we
are
able
to
auouch
it
out
of
the
holy
Scriptures
.
Tell
me
what
more
wicked
body
was
there
euer
then
the
king
of
Babylon
?
Who
hauing
found
out
in
many
things
the
omnipotency
of
God
,
What
satest
then
to
this
,
O
thou
wise
and
blessed
man
?
Yet
is
there
a
returning
after
so
great
slides
?
credite
mee
there
is
,
after
grieuous
sickenesse
and
from
the
doore
of
death
proceedeth
health
,
and
after
desperate
sins
many
waxe
wise
.
For
loe
(
as
we
shewed
afore
)
this
king
of
Babel
had
now
stapped
all
way
of
saluation
,
in
that
hee
prouoked
the
Lord
to
wrath
,
who
made
him
,
and
exalted
him
to
the
throne
of
a
kingdom
,
who
reuealed
also
to
him
heauenly
mysteries
who
imparted
on
him
the
knowledge
of
things
to
come
,
&
disclosed
to
him
the
secrets
of
all
his
kingdom
,
who
confounded
by
the
diuine
solution
of
his
prophet
,
the
iuglings
of
the
wise
men
,
Astrologers
,
Gazarens
,
&
Caldeans
,
&
opened
to
the
capacity
of
a
child
,
by
a
diuine
interpretation
a
hidden
secret
:
insomuch
that
he
seemed
not
only
to
beleeue
in
the
highest
God
,
but
to
proclaime
thoroughout
al
the
world
,
that
the
God
of
Daniel
was
the
true
God
;
yet
after
this
he
fell
into
such
an
outrage
,
that
he
threw
headlong
into
the
hot
burning
ouen
the
seruants
of
God
that
would
not
worshis
his
image
.
And
yet
ne
here
doth
the
mercy
of
God
forget
to
cure
&
remedy
him
,
but
in
the
midst
of
the
fire
,
when
he
had
put
to
the
flame
,
the
children
that
worshipped
God
,
there
he
asswageth
him
not
with
quenching
the
fire
with
water
,
but
with
working
a
wonder
.
For
hee
could
both
extinguish
the
fire
,
and
distill
downe
a
showre
from
heauen
,
but
this
he
doth
not
,
least
he
should
encrease
the
force
of
his
rage
,
but
permitteth
the
flame
to
be
made
as
great
,
as
the
furie
of
the
tortor
desired
,
and
hee
doth
not
forbid
him
to
punish
,
but
taketh
away
power
from
the
torment
.
And
that
no
one
that
sawe
the
children
not
burne
,
might
suppose
it
was
a
vaine
imagination
,
no
fire
in
deede
that
he
saw
,
he
suffered
the
executioners
(
namely
those
that
stoode
about
the
fornace
)
to
bee
consumed
,
that
hee
might
make
manifest
,
that
not
onely
fire
in
truth
was
seene
,
but
that
Gods
commaundement
was
more
forcible
than
any
strength
of
fire
.
For
euery
thing
that
is
,
obeieth
him
of
whom
it
had
his
beginning
.
That
fire
receiued
the
bodies
of
those
saints
and
by
the
ordinance
and
will
of
God
forgetting
his
nature
whereby
it
burneth
,
vpon
it
shewed
only
his
nature
of
illumining
,
rendring
againe
the
holy
and
faithfull
thing
committed
to
his
charge
nothing
hurted
;
for
they
came
foorth
out
of
the
flaming
fornace
as
it
had
beene
out
of
a
princes
palace
,
worthy
to
be
admited
of
all
,
of
all
to
be
reuerenced
.
None
then
cast
his
eyes
on
the
king
who
glittered
in
purple
,
with
a
diademe
on
his
head
,
but
hee
was
forsaken
of
all
,
as
though
he
had
beene
no
body
,
for
that
the
children
had
rapteu●
rich-one
into
an
admiration
.
For
who
would
not
hee
astonied
that
the
fire
was
afrighted
at
the
sight
of
the
young
mens
bodies
,
and
that
it
did
not
only
she
from
the
flesh
of
those
saints
,
but
also
did
not
touch
one
haire
of
their
head
(
which
was
but
little
)
nor
the
vttermost
hemine
of
their
garments
?
Who
would
not
admire
,
that
their
members
were
stronger
then
mountains
,
their
garments
than
mettals
,
their
haires
than
diamonds
?
And
herein
is
the
wonder
aggrauated
,
that
when
they
were
in
the
middest
of
the
fire
,
they
sang
a
Psalme
to
God
,
albeit
experience
teacheth
,
that
they
that
are
committed
to
the
flame
,
bee
consumed
assoone
as
they
open
their
mouth
.
To
conclude
these
bl●ssed
children
remaine
with
God
glorious
,
with
men
wonderfull
;
but
the
naughtie
king
was
neither
mooued
with
these
miracles
,
nor
wondered
at
the
vision
and
the
foretelling
of
his
confusion
,
but
abode
hard
of
beliefe
,
neither
yet
was
punished
.
And
hitherto
Gods
patience
was
not
tried
,
but
when
hee
had
forborne
him
a
long
time
,
at
length
hee
vnneth
corrected
him
,
not
punishing
the
offences
past
,
but
respecting
the
amendment
to
come
:
in
a
word
,
he
condemned
him
not
euerlastingly
,
Such
(
beleeue
me
)
such
is
the
goodnes
of
God
towards
men
,
neuer
reiecting
repentance
if
it
be
truely
and
vprightly
offred
;
although
one
come
to
the
top
of
wickednesse
,
But
the
wicked
king
,
that
by
reason
of
the
naughtinesse
of
his
wife
sought
a
booty
for
his
lust
,
may
be
a
more
euident
testimonie
of
this
matter
;
who
being
troubled
with
the
hainousnesse
of
his
sinnes
,
repented
,
and
cloathed
in
sackecloth
bewailed
his
doing
,
and
heere
in
so
drew
the
mercy
of
God
vpon
him
,
that
hee
pardoned
all
his
trespasses
.
For
so
it
is
said

Godly
men
may
rise
by
repentance
after
their
fall
.
?
Now
if
thou
say
;
What
if
one
of
the
faithfull
should
fall
.
may
he
be
restored
?
To
this
I
aunswere
;
in
that
we
say
he
hath
fallen
,
wee
confesse
he
stood
before
he
fell
:
for
it
is
an
absurd
thing
to
be
spoken
,
that
any
man
fell
,
that
hath
still
lien
and
neuer
stood
.
We
will
produce
also
out
of
the
booke
of
God
allegations
,
if
ought
hath
bene
spoken
of
this
matter
,
either
in
parables
or
in
plaine
speeches
,
or
if
any
thing
may
be
found
in
the
examples
of
our
elders
.
What
representeth
that
sheepe
which
when
it
wandred
from
the
ninetie
and
nine
,
But
not
this
parable
onely
declareth
the
moderatenesse
of
alteration
,
but
that
likewise
which
is
written
of
the
prodigall
sonne
.
[

](A04503-e20430-b)
*
Or
your
iniquities
haue
separated
betweene
you
and
your
God
Your
sinnes
separate
betweene
me
and
you
.
If
then
our
sinnes
disseuer
vs
from
God
,
let
vs
take
away
this
barre
,
and
nothing
may
let
vs
to
be
brought
into
the
fauour
of
God
.
Will
you
that
I
shew
it
not
onely
spoken
in
parables
,
but
formed
in
deed
?
There
was
a
man
among
the
Corinthians
by
all
likelihood
of
no
small
calling
,
he
had
committed
such
a
sinne
,
as
was
not
committed
amongst
the
Gentiles
,
being
of
the
numbe
of
●he
faithfull
,
and
Christs
his
●riends
,
for
some
report
(
mee
●hinketh
)
that
he
was
of
the
●mage
of
the
Priests
.
What
●hen
?
Paul
neuer
parted
him
from
the
number
of
those
,
that
●ope
to
attaine
saluation
.
But
when
he
had
sufficiently
rebu●ed
the
Corinthians
for
him
,
●urposing
to
shew
that
there
●s
no
wound
nor
disease
,
that
may
not
bee
cured
and
made
whole
by
repentance
he
commaundeth
to
deliuer
him
ouer
●nto
Sathan
,
What
else
therefore
by
all
this
is
there
taught
,
but
that
it
may
be
,
that
Christ
may
be
formed
anew
in
him
,
that
hath
solde
himselfe
to
worke
iniquitie
,
for
he
will
not
the
death
of
a
sinner
,
So
much
doth
it
concerne
vs
,
that
by
preseruering
in
euils
,
wee
doe
not
frowardly
exclude
our selues
from
the
entrance
of
goodnes
.
For
this
cause
also
the
enemie
tooke
Iudas
hence
,
least
in
case
knowing
there
was
a
returne
to
saluation
,
he
might
reforme
his
fall
by
repentance
.
And
I
say
not
(
although
it
be
wonderfull
)
that
that
sinne
of
Iudas
might
not
be
purged
by
repentance
:
for
which
cause
I
intreat
and
begge
of
thee
that
thou
abandon
out
of
thy
mind
all
diuelish
cogitations
,
and
quickly
return
thee
to
the
way
of
saluation
.
If
I
should
sodainely
&
wholy
call
thee
to
that
old
height
of
vertue
,
thou
mightest
not
without
cause
tremble
,
not
without
reason
d●ement
hard
.
But
considering
this
only
I
desire
at
thy
hands
,
that
thou
increase
not
in
iniquities
,
neither
euery
day
goe
neerer
to
perdition
,
that
thou
leaue
off
and
make
an
end
of
offending
,
why
doest
thou
doubt
and
linger
,
drawing
backe
thy
foote
,
for
feare
onely
to
receiue
the
thought
of
goodnesse
?
Hath
not
the
superfluitie
of
lust
bred
loathsomnesse
,
as
yet
in
thee
?
What
hath
it
bettered
them
that
abode
in
bodily
sensualitie
and
in
the
pleasures
of
this
present
life
vntill
the
end
of
their
liues
?
Now
the
force
of
the
punishment
,
and
that
punishment
of
that
fire
which
is
so
forcibl●●o
voice
will
serue
to
declare
,
no
speech
will
serue
to
vtter
:
for
in
good
or
euill
things
subiect
to
corruption
,
there
is
nothing
like
them
.
Neuerthelesse
that
wee
may
conceiue
some
motion
of
that
fire
and
torment
,
Now
if
thou
shouldest
say
,
how
can
the
bodie
continue
in
so
wretched
and
such
an
endlesse
tormenting
?
Consider
what
things
now
and
then
in
this
life
betide
vs
,
and
by
these
small
things
coniecture
great
,
How
that
some
times
we
see
some
troubled
with
long
sicknes
,
&
yet
their
life
to
indure
:
and
howbeit
the
bodie
bee
dissolued
by
some
death
,
yet
the
soule
is
not
dissolued
nor
consumed
:
whence
it
is
apparant
that
when
the
body
shall
also
become
immortall
,
no
death
may
kill
the
soule
or
body
.
For
in
this
present
life
it
cannot
be
,
that
the
punishment
of
the
body
should
bée
both
grieuous
and
perpetuall
,
but
the
one
yeeldeth
to
the
other
for
that
the
body
cannot
abide
both
But
when
each
shall
put
off
corruption
,
th●
corruption
afore
receiued
shall
end
,
but
the
incorruption
gotten
shall
be
endlesse
.
So
let
vs
not
thinke
the
very
exceeding
greatnesse
of
punishment
will
cause
an
end
of
dolor
,
but
(
as
I
said
)
our
sinnes
shall
aggrauate
the
chastisement
,
and
the
incorruption
of
the
bodie
or
soule
shall
not
limite
it
.
Tell
mee
now
,
what
space
of
sensualitie
and
dainties
will
thou
liken
to
these
torments
?
Let
vs
(
if
we
list
)
bestow
on
delights
an
hundreth
yeeres
,
adde
thereto
an
hundreth
moe
,
and
tenne
times
an
hundreth
,
what
benefit
will
there
be
gotten
of
it
,
if
we
consider
this
euer-remaining
paine
?
May
not
the
whole
time
of
this
life
,
wherein
wee
seeme
to
take
pleasure
in
pastimes
,
and
wallow
in
wantonnesse
,
be
reckoned
as
the
dreame
of
one
night
,
in
comparison
of
that
eternitie
?
Is
there
any
therefore
,
who
to
haue
a
delightsome
dreame
one
night
,
would
vndertake
sempiternall
paines
?
Or
take
that
for
this
,
or
this
for
that
?
I
disprayse
not
as
yet
delights
,
nor
vnfolde
the
bitternesse
of
them
,
because
the
time
serueth
not
for
such
speeches
nowe
,
but
then
I
shall
be
occasioned
,
when
I
see
thee
able
to
auoid
the
same
.
For
because
thou
art
addicted
to
them
,
thou
mayest
ghesse
wee
doted
,
if
we
auouch
that
pleasure
which
all
men
reckon
acceptable
and
gladsome
,
were
yrkesome
and
sowre
:
But
if
by
the
mercy
of
God
,
thou
maiest
escape
out
of
this
sort
of
sickenes
,
at
that
time
,
yea
at
that
time
thou
shalt
finde
out
what
bitternesse
,
yea
what
bane
sensualitie
hath
.
Nowe
m●ane
while
let
vs
imagine
,
that
pastimes
and
pleasure
and
voluptuousnesse
are
honest
and
comely
:
What
shall
we
say
to
the
punishments
laide
vp
in
store
for
them
?
What
shall
we
say
to
them
,
because
the
delights
vade
like
a
shadow
,
and
hastily
flie
away
,
but
the
paine
abideth
for
eu●r
and
euer
?
Grant
the
time
and
space
of
pastime
and
punishment
were
all
one
,
is
there
any
so
foolish
,
or
so
depriued
of
his
fiue
wits
,
that
would
chuse
to
tolerate
one
day
of
paine
for
a
day
of
pleasure
?
sith
the
pangs
of
one
houre
,
and
euery
vexation
of
the
body
,
commonly
causeth
vs
to
forget
all
the
time
past
consumed
in
delight
.
Wherefore
forasmuch
as
we
may
be
ridde
(
if
in
a
moment
we
be
turned
)
from
euery
of
those
tormenting
chastisements
,
and
inioy
eternall
goodnes
,
why
deferre
we
?
why
stay
we
?
why
doe
we
not
vse
the
bountifulnesse
of
God
?
For
this
is
prouided
by
the
vnspeakeable
and
infinite
clemencie
of
God
,
that
labour
and
toile
should
not
bee
stretched
farre
,
nor
be
long
or
endlesse
but
short
,
and
(
as
I
may
say
)
for
a
minute
of
an
houre
.
Such
is
this
present
life
,
if
it
be
conferred
with
that
euerlasting
.
Let
vs
not
therefore
incurre
this
anguish
of
soule
,
let
vs
awake
while
wee
haue
time
.
And
loe
now
is
the
acceptable
time
,
now
is
the
day
of
saluation
,
now
is
opportunitie
of
repentance
,
and
a
time
wherein
repentance
will
not
be
fruitlesse
.
But
if
we
be
carelesse
of
our
life
,
wee
shall
sustaine
in
hell
not
these
calamities
alone
,
whereof
we
haue
spoken
,
but
a
more
grieuous
mischiefe
.
For
to
be
excluded
from
blisse
,
and
to
be
debarred
from
the
things
prepared
for
the
Saincts
,
causeth
such
affliction
,
such
wofulnesse
,
as
(
if
no
outward
punishment
tormented
)
it
were
sufficient
.
It
surpasseth
all
paines
of
hell
,
to
want
that
beatitude
,
the
fruition
of
which
lay
in
thy
power
.
For
muse
(
I
desire
you
)
on
the
state
of
that
life
,
But
lest
thou
bee
daunted
with
these
thinges
on
the
sodaine
,
I
will
allure
thee
by
little
and
little
to
the
attain●ment
of
them
.
Behold
now
and
looke
vpon
the
heauen
,
let
thy
thought
also
pierce
a
little
aboue
heauen
,
after
yonder
the
transforming
of
the
whole
creature
.
For
it
shall
not
abide
in
this
qualitie
wherein
it
is
,
but
it
shall
be
chaunged
into
another
much
more
fine
and
faire
,
as
much
(
let
me
say
so
)
as
gold
exceedeth
lead
.
Saint
Paul
teacheth
this
shall
come
to
passe
,
when
he
saith
that
the
creature
it selfe
shall
be
freed
from
the
bondage
of
corruption
.
Like
as
a
kings
sonne
if
first
of
all
he
be
fostered
vp
in
a
poore
cottage
being
apparalled
in
base
raiment
,
liueth
vnder
the
feare
of
Tutors
,
and
gouernance
of
Masters
,
wherby
his
young-age
vnder
strait
discipline
may
bring
his
mans
estate
into
good
liking
,
and
make
it
worthy
his
famous
progenitors
;
but
when
the
time
commeth
,
that
he
must
both
enter
into
the
Court
of
his
Dominion
,
and
take
in
hand
his
fathers
Scepter
,
all
homely
apparaile
being
reiected
,
hee
arayeth
himselfe
in
princely
attire
,
and
on
a
sud●aine
putteth
on
the
mitre
of
his
father
,
the
glittering
of
●urple
continually
is
added
,
●he
brightnesse
of
his
diademe
,
●he
rowte
of
his
gard
,
the
●ower
of
his
name
is
increa●ed
,
and
he
is
made
a
new
man
,
●o
after
such
a
manner
shall
●he
alteration
of
Saints
be
.
And
to
the
end
you
may
be
giuen
to
vnderstand
,
that
pain●ed
words
is
not
all
we
speake
,
●et
vs
cast
our
eyes
on
that
●ountaine
wherein
Christ
was
transformed
,
and
let
vs
●ehold
his
brightnesse
,
that
wherein
(
when
he
was
trans●ormed
)
hee
shined
;
neither
●or
all
that
by
this
meanes
,
●ll
the
glory
of
the
world
to
●ome
shal
be
reuealed
vnto
vs
.
For
that
transformation
was
●eclared
not
fully
as
in
deede
●he
blessednesse
to
come
shall
●e
,
but
as
much
as
the
behol●ers
eyes
could
beare
.
And
●he
Gospell
saith
[
*
](A04503-e21090-b)
*
Mat.
17.2
.
his
face
did
shine
as
the
sunne
:
but
the
glory
of
the
incorruption
shall
not
onely
send
foorth
such
a
light
,
nor
such
as
the
eyes
of
men
can
looke
on
,
but
such
shal
be
the
future
brightnesse
,
as
eye
sight
may
not
indure
,
although
it
abode
that
in
the
transforming
on
the
mount
.
Whereby
it
is
cleere
,
that
so
much
was
reuealed
as
the
eies
of
mortall
men
could
suffer
neither
yet
did
they
fully
suffer
it
,
Againe
,
if
thou
shouldest
be
brought
into
an
assemble
,
where
euery
one
should
sit
apparrelled
in
golden
robes
,
in
the
middest
of
whom
one
should
shine
decked
in
pearles
and
purple
,
and
if
he
promised
that
thou
mightest
be
one
of
the
number
of
those
men
of
honour
,
wouldest
thou
not
assay
and
attempt
all
things
to
attaine
vnto
it
?
So
then
open
thy
sight
on
the
heauens
,
and
behold
there
an
assembly
gathered
together
,
not
in
brightnesse
of
gold
,
neither
in
trimnesse
of
garments
,
nor
glistering
in
precious
stones
,
but
clearer
in
righteousnes
then
either
the
starres
glitter
,
or
the
Sunne
shineth
.
Behold
there
a
company
not
of
men
alone
,
but
of
Angels
,
Archangels
thrones
,
dominions
,
principalities
,
and
powers
;
and
of
the
King
that
sitteth
in
the
middest
of
them
,
no
speech
may
be
,
for
he
surmounteth
all
speech
and
conceit
of
the
mind
of
man
,
by
reason
of
his
beautie
,
his
strength
,
his
glory
,
his
royalty
,
his
maiestie
,
What
then
?
Tell
me
,
shall
we
beguile
our selues
of
all
these
honors
,
because
of
sloth
in
sustaining
some
labour
,
and
in
resisting
for
a
while
the
allurements
of
lust
?
For
if
wee
should
dayly
sustaine
torments
,
and
suffer
a
little
time
hell
fire
to
the
end
we
might
see
Christ
comming
in
glory
,
&
accompanied
with
his
Saints
,
were
it
not
good
to
indure
all
sorrow
,
that
we
might
be
made
partakers
of
so
great
blisse
,
of
so
great
glory
?
Heare
what
the
blessed
Apostle
Peter
saith
;
Many
ignorant
folke
think
it
a
thing
all
suffici●nt
,
But
peraduenture
thou
sayest
,
it
will
suffice
vs
to
escape
hell
,
albeit
wee
bee
not
thought
worthy
of
the
sight
of
the
King
.
What
more
vnhappy
and
wretched
soule
is
there
than
to
which
this
is
sufficient
?
Supposest
thou
that
the
King
wherof
we
speake
,
shall
come
to
iudge
the
earth
,
carried
in
Chariots
of
Mules
,
or
in
gilded
waggons
,
or
with
the
terrible
power
of
a
diademe
?
Nay
harken
how
the
Prophets
foretold
(
as
much
as
might
be
declared
to
men
)
the
comming
of
Christ
.
One
of
them
saith
thus
:
Our
God
shall
come
,
So
then
when
these
things
shall
begin
,
the
gates
of
heauen
shall
be
opened
yea
rather
the
very
heauen
shall
be
taken
away
,
as
if
the
couerings
of
a
pauilion
were
drawne
together
,
to
wit
,
that
it
may
be
restored
and
transfigured
into
better
.
Then
all
things
shall
be
in
feare
,
amazednesse
and
trembling
shall
fill
euery
place
.
Then
also
feare
shall
shake
the
Angels
,
and
not
the
Angels
alone
,
but
perchance
the
Archangels
,
thrones
,
dominions
,
rules
and
powers
.
For
this
is
signified
where
it
is
said
I
will
shake
the
heauen
;
Furthermore
,
besides
all
these
anguishes
of
torments
fet
before
your
eyes
.
not
confusion
alone
,
and
vtter
shame
but
the
way
how
men
are
drawne
to
fire
,
and
deliuered
vp
to
racking
.
Thinke
vpon
those
cruell
and
vgly
tortors
which
throw
sinners
downe
headlong
and
in
that
time
,
in
which
other
that
haue
done
well
,
by
the
bright
and
gentle
Angels
being
caried
before
the
high
throne
of
the
euerlasting
king
shall
be
rewarded
with
immortall
gifte
.
These
things
are
accidents
to
that
day
,
iudgement
,
&
time
,
but
that
which
ensueth
,
what
tong
can
tell
?
What
pleasure
,
what
ioy
shall
it
be
to
be
with
Christ
,
when
the
soule
camming
to
her
proper
vigor
,
shall
with
confidence
begin
to
looke
on
God
?
none
can
declare
the
greatnes
of
that
ioy
.
For
she
triumpheth
not
alone
for
the
fruit
:
on
of
the
things
present
,
but
shee
reioyceth
much
more
because
shee
knoweth
,
there
shall
be
no
end
of
her
blessednes
.
And
howbeit
no
speech
can
set
forth
that
gladnes
and
mirth
,
nor
any
thought
ontaine
it
yet
seeing
(
as
it
were
)
a
certaine
shadow
of
the
thing
to
come
,
we
will
also
endeuour
to
acquaint
you
with
it
Demand
we
of
the
rich
&
welthy
of
this
world
.
who
vaunt
in
honors
&
power
,
with
what
gladnesse
they
are
puffed
out
?
With
how
great
delectation
and
pleasure
they
are
in
loue
with
these
things
,
so
that
sometime
they
carry
their
noses
very
high
in
the
wind
?
And
that
,
though
they
themselues
know
,
that
these
things
are
neither
right
,
happy
,
nor
yet
euerlasting
,
but
vanish
away
sooner
then
a
dreame
:
which
if
they
indure
while
this
life
remaineth
,
if
we
make
the
most
of
them
we
can
,
they
can
indure
no
longer
.
Wherefore
if
men
are
so
exceeding
ioyous
,
for
fraile
and
transitory
things
with
what
ioy
shall
wee
thinke
those
soules
to
be
filled
,
which
haue
gotten
heauenly
and
eternall
b●sse
?
In
which
both
quantity
and
quallity
differeth
so
much
from
the
other
in
excellency
,
(
for
all
that
in
this
life
we
account
them
good
)
so
that
neither
eye
hath
seene
,
Therfore
will
you
goe
that
way
(
my
friend
)
that
the
countenance
,
and
kingly
beauty
of
thy
soule
may
bee
polluted
and
this
world
at
the
last
reiectt
thee
,
but
repaire
quickly
the
Image
of
thy
father
,
repaire
thy
vertue
,
beauty
,
and
gallantnes
,
that
among
other
thou
mayest
be
knowne
of
thy
father
.
Often
times
experience
proueth
,
that
of
those
women
which
haue
beene
inured
to
common
brothelrre
,
if
any
bee
somewhat
handsome
for
fairenes
sake
she
hath
beene
vnited
in
matrimony
to
some
good
man
,
and
hath
beene
drawne
to
honestie
.
How
much
rather
will
not
God
contemne
ne
dispise
the
soules
which
haue
fallen
from
their
diuine
excellency
by
the
tyranny
of
the
diuel

into
the
brothelhouse
and

You

chough
This
people
which
had
so
played
the
harlot
the
Lord
reclaimed
to
himselfe
,
for
their
captiuitie
was
not
so
much
for
their
punishment
,
as
for
their
amendment
.
For
if
in
case
God
would
haue
punished
and
destroyed
them
withal
he
would
not
haue
brought
them
home
againe
to
their
natiue
soile
,
neither
would
haue
caused
them
to
reedifie
with
greater
magnificency
,
their
Citie
and
Temple
which
were
ouerthrowen
:
the
glory
(
saith
he
)
of
this
last
house
,
I
am
sure
you
wonder
not
a
little
at
the
beauty
of
Hermione
,
[
*

*
Or
melancholy
.
gall
,
which
are
maintained
by
the
corruptible
iuyces
of
meates
?
Hereby
the
aples
of
the
eyes
glister
,
hereby
the
cheekes
are
ruddy
and
hereby
the
whole
face
is
adorned
.
And
vnlesse
they
be
dayly
moistened
with
such
iuyce
,
which
ascendeth
out
of
the
liuer
,
incontinent
the
skin
is
dryed
vp
,
the
eyes
waxe
hollow
,
al
ruddines
and
beauty
departeth
from
the
visage
.
Now
if
thou
consider
what
is
hidden
within
that
skin
which
thou
iudgest
beautifull
,
what
is
shut
vp
in
the
nostrils
what
within
the
iawes
and
belly
,
thou
wilt
protest
that
this
brauery
of
body
,
is
nothing
but
a
blanched
sepulchre
which
without
appeareth
faire
to
men
,
but
within
is
full
of
filthynes
and
vncleannes
.
Moreouer
,
if
thou
see
on
a
ragged
cloath
,
the
phlegme
and
spittle
that
proceedeth
from
the
body
,
thou
loathest
it
,
and
wilt
not
touch
it
with
the
tip
of
the
finger
,
looking
askew
theron
:
&
how
then
canst
thou
loue
and
desire
the
cel
and
seat
of
phlegme
?
But
thy
beauty
was
not
such
.
For
by
how
much
heauen
is
more
beautifull
than
the
earth
,
by
so
much
●id
the
trimnes
of
thy
soule
●urmount
the
beauty
of
the
●airest
body
.
And
notwistan●ing
none
at
any
time
hath
●eene
a
soule
departed
from
the
body
,
yet
some
other
time
I
wil
attempt
to
declare
the
comlines
of
it
,
by
the
powers
therof
.
At
this
time
let
it
suffice
to
rehearse
the
words
of
the
Lord
,
which
say
,
they
are
as
the
Angels
of
God
in
heauen
.
Againe
,
A
part
it
is
of
extreame
madnes
and
no
mischiefe
is
comparable
,
that
beleeuing
we
be
like
the
vnbeleeuing
.
Yea
amongst
them
not
a
few
haue
beene
found
,
who
haue
flourished
in
this
life
,
in
the
vertues
of
the
mind
,
and
what
shall
be
our
excuse
,
what
our
solace
,
if
in
the
day
of
doome
those
shall
be
brought
forth
for
examples
against
vs
?
Some
that
exercise
marchandise
we
see
haue
suffered
shipwracke
,
and
the
losse
of
all
their
goods
:
yet
for
this
they
haue
not
beene
dismayed
,
but
againe
haue
applyed
the
same
way
and
trafficke
.
These
did
●eese
their
substance
not
by
●oth
but
by
violence
of
winds
But
we
which
know
afore
vndoubtedly
,
that
if
we
our selues
wil
we
may
incur
neither
shipwrack
nor
damage
of
soule
;
shuld
we
not
take
in
hand
againe
our
former
exercises
,
&
renue
our
busines
by
neglygence
ouerslipped
?
Neuerthelesse
we
lie
retchlesly
,
and
fold
our
idle
hands
on
our
breast
,
after
the
manner
of
sluggards
and
would
God
our
hands
were
idle
,
and
did
not
worke
our
owne
decay
,
Which
if
they
doe
it
hath
great
affinitie
with
most
manifest
outrage
,
as
if
(
for
example
)
a
champion
leauing
his
aduersary
,
should
turne
his
hands
on
his
owne
head
,
and
buffet
himselfe
.
The
diuell
hath
put
vs
to
flight
,
and
hath
dashed
vs
in
sunder
,
we
haue
need
then
to
rise
and
to
resist
him
.
When
thou
art
once
cast
downe
,
if
thou
be
willing
not
onely
to
lie
still
,
but
to
throw
downe
thy selfe
headlong
this
is
to
assent
to
thine
enemie
,
and
to
take
in
defence
his
part
.
Blessed
Dauid
fell
after
the
same
sort
,
thou
diddest
,
neither
so
alone
,
but
in
more
grieuous
wise
,
for
he
combined
murder
,
with
adultery
:
and
what
did
he
then
?
Did
he
lie
so
?
Did
he
not
rise
and
resist
the
enemy
,
and
so
ouercame
him
,
that
his
good
deeds
profited
his
posterity
ween
he
was
gone
?
For
when
Salomon
had
committed
that
hainous
crime
,
and
was
deemed
worthy
of
a
thousand
deaths
,
yet
for
Dauids
sake
the
Lord
said
he
would
bestow
the
kingdome
on
him
longer
.
These
be
the
words
;
I
will
surely
rent
the
kingdome
from
thee
,
[
*
](A04503-e22190-b)
*
Or
,
I
will
defend
this
citie
to
saue
it
for
mine
own
sake
,
and
for
Dauid
my
seruantes
sake
.
I
will
defend
this
Citie
for
mine
owne
sake
,
and
for
Dauid
my
seruants
sake
,
I
will
saue
it
.
See
what
was
the
strength
of
repentance
see
what
power
conuersion
had
.
But
if
he
had
thus
thought
,
(
which
thou
now
thinkest
.
)
and
had
said
it
is
impossible
that
the
Lord
should
now
be
merciful
to
me
,
he
hath
greatly
honoured
me
,
and
hath
endued
me
with
the
gift
of
prophecy
,
he
hath
exalted
me
to
a
kingdome
,
he
hath
deliuered
me
from
manifold
dangers
,
how
then
can
I
promerite
clemencie
at
the
hands
of
God
,
forasmuch
as
I
haue
thus
fallen
?
If
Dauid
had
thus
thought
,
he
had
lo●●
not
only
that
went
afore
but
that
that
followed
also
.
For
not
only
the
wounds
of
the
body
if
they
be
neglected
bring
death
;
but
the
wounds
of
the
soule
semblably
.
Are
we
so
sottish
to
put
a
plaister
to
a
bodily
wound
,
and
neuer
attempt
to
cure
the
soule
?
Many
wounds
of
our
body
may
not
be
cured
,
yet
we
dispaire
not
,
and
though
the
Chirurgions
say
the
wound
is
vncu●●able
,
yet
we
earnestly
and
vrgently
beseech
them
,
that
they
would
mittigate
some
what
the
paine
.
But
in
the
wounds
of
the
soule
;
which
are
not
vnsanable
,
(
for
the
soule
is
not
tyed
to
necessity
neither
abideth
any
passion
)
we
are
remisse
,
we
are
past
hope
,
we
are
pricked
with
no
care
When
there
is
no
hope
our
griefe
of
body
may
be
healed
,
yet
we
withdraw
nothing
from
our
care
:
but
here
when
no
occasion
is
of
desperation
,
without
vsing
any
labour
,
we
omit
all
care
.
So
you
perceiue
,
how
that
more
ardently
we
loue
our
body
then
our
soule
,
knowing
not
,
that
if
we
regard
not
our
soule
we
cannot
saue
our
body
.
For
the
soule
was
not
ordained
for
the
body
,
but
the
body
for
the
soule
:
and
he
that
esteemeth
not
the
higher
but
polisheth
the
inferiour
,
marreth
both
.
But
he
that
obserueth
an
order
,
and
garnisheth
the
first
admitte
hee
doe
not
passe
for
the
second
,
by
the
saluation
neuerthelesse
of
the
first
the
seeond
shall
be
saued
.
The
which
is
builded
on
the
plot
of
Christ
his
words
,
Feare
ye
not
them
which
kill
th●●
body
,
Thinke
you
we
haue
done
enough
,
and
satisfied
you
in
this
thing
,
that
no
infirmity
of
the
soule
is
vncureable
?
Or
else
is
it
needfull
wee
should
vse
other
reasons
,
and
confirme
it
yet
further
?
For
although
a
thousand
times
thou
dispaire
of
thy selfe
,
wee
will
neuer
dispaire
of
thee
.
Neither
doe
we
this
that
wee
mislike
in
other
,
howbeit
there
be
ods
,
whether
one
dispaire
of
himselfe
,
or
another
of
him
.
To
dispaire
of
another
is
pardonable
but
to
dispaire
of
him selfe
is
not
:
because
he
is
not
master
of
anothers
mind
,
this
ruleth
his
owne
purpose
Wherefore
we
hope
there
is
a
returne
for
you
to
the
state
of
your
former
life
,
and
to
the
vertues
of
the
minde
,
which
we
know
are
in
you
.
Besides
these
things
this
we
adde
.
The
Nineuits
heard
the
Prophet
saying
definitely
,
Farthermore
if
we
receiue
our
seruants
,
who
haue
offended
vs
,
when
they
promise
they
will
amend
,
and
account
of
them
as
before
,
nay
many
times
credit
them
more
after
reconcilement
;
will
not
God
much
rather
deale
thus
with
vs
?
If
he
had
made
vs
to
punish
vs
,
thou
mightest
well
despaire
,
and
doubt
of
thy
saluation
:
but
if
for
his
goodnes
,
onely
he
made
vs
to
enioy
his
euer-during
blisse
and
rewards
and
doth
al
things
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
till
this
day
,
to
this
end
and
purpose
,
that
he
may
saue
vs
:
what
matter
of
despairing
what
matter
of
misdoubting
is
there
left
?
We
haue
offended
him
(
say
you
)
more
than
euer
any
man
.
For
this
cause
shouldest
thou
more
speedily
and
earnestly
make
satisfaction
and
be
sorrowfull
for
thine
offence
,
and
abandon
those
deedes
with
which
God
is
offended
.
Neither
doth
a
grieuous
iniury
offende
any
body
so
much
,
as
to
continue
in
it
,
when
there
is
time
and
opportun●tie
of
satisfaction
.
To
sinne
is
humane
,
but
to
perseuer
in
sinne
,
is
diabolicall
.
To
conclude
,
God
then
,
who
is
desirous
that
himself
be
beloued
of
vs
,
and
for
this
doth
all
things
,
not
sparing
his
onely
begotten
for
our
saluation
,
and
the
loue
he
bare
towards
vs
,
wold
faine
(
after
what
fort
soeuer
,
if
I
may
so
speake
)
we
should
be
reconciled
to
him
;
and
how
can
it
be
,
that
he
should
not
receiue
and
loue
vs
being
penitents
conuerted
vnto
him
,
and
that
as
cheerefully
as
he
doth
his
children
?
For
in
what
respect
doe
you
thinke
,
spake
hee
by
the
Prophet
,
saying
▪
Tell
thou
thine
iniquities
first
,
that
thou
maist
be
iustified
?
Was
it
not
for
that
he
coueted
to
reuoke
vs
to
his
loue
,
Then
a
hard
thing
it
is
,
(
as
I
said
)
to
make
a
beginning
in
this
lyeth
all
the
difficulty
,
to
prepare
the
way
to
repentance
.
For
straight
way
at
the
entrance
the
enemy
bloweth
out
threats
&
menacings
,
and
in
his
rage
driueth
vs
backe
,
when
we
would
goe
forth
.
The
smokie
puffes
,
and
cloude
of
whose
terrours
,
if
thou
contemne
,
when
the
way
is
entred
,
thou
shalt
see
thy self
corroborated
,
and
obtaining
the
conquest
thou
wilt
reioyce
thine
enemy
menaced
thee
and
thou
shalt
perceiue
the
rest
of
this
combate
easie
.
Go
too
,
go
too
,
in
the
name
of
God
,
now
let
vs
enter
the
path
of
life
,
let
vs
returne
to
the
heauenly
city
,
seeing
we
are
appointed
and
inrolled
citizens
.
The
gates
of
this
Citie
despaire
shutteth
against
vs
,
hope
and
confidence
will
open
them
fully
;
the
which
if
we
cast
behind
vs
we
incurre
the
crime
,
not
of
sloath
alone
,
but
of
arrogancy
For
sathan
was
made
as
he
is
by
no
other
meanes
but
for
that
after
his
sinne
first
he
despaired
and
n
xt
fell
from
despaire
into
hautines
and
pride
.
So
likewise
the
soule
if
it
once
begin
to
despaire
of
saluation
,
it
vnderstandeth
not
into
what
mischiefes
it
runneth
,
fearing
not
to
speake
or
doe
whatsoeuer
may
stop
saluation
.
Commonly
we
see
in
those
that
are
mad
when
once
they
haue
lost
their
wit
,
they
feare
naught
any
longer
,
they
blush
at
nothing
,
but
licentiously
they
dare
speake
and
doe
euery
thing
.
If
they
fall
into
the
fire
,
they
auoid
it
not
,
if
they
be
going
into
a
headlong
place
,
they
pull
not
back
their
foote
.
After
the
same
manner
they
that
are
in
despaire
commit
intollerable
actes
,
they
range
in
all
the
waies
of
wickednes
,
shame
is
no
let
,
feare
hindreth
nothing
,
the
things
present
do
not
refrain
them
,
the
things
to
come
do
not
terrifie
,
death
only
it
is
that
they
cannot
escape
.
Wherefore
I
humbly
request
thee
,
before
the
poison
of
this
sin
more
infect
thee
,
arise
and
awake
at
the
last
,
and
lay
aside
this
deuellish
drunkennes
.
If
on
the
sudden
thou
canst
not
gather
thy
wits
together
,
yet
doe
it
leisurely
,
although
(
in
my
opinion
)
it
be
the
easier
way
at
once
to
break
off
all
the
staies
of
this
euill
,
to
sheere
it
in
sunder
fully
,
and
to
begin
repentance
anew
But
if
this
be
difficile
vnto
thee
,
as
thou
wilt
and
art
able
,
begin
a
better
conuersation
,
and
couet
eternall
life
.
Runne
therefore
I
pray
and
beseech
you
deare
friend
,
(
I
beseech
you
for
those
good
deeds
you
haue
done
heretofore
,
I
pray
you
for
the
liberty
that
first
you
had
)
let
me
see
you
clime
vp
to
the
top
of
vertue
,
as
truely
a
repentant
as
you
were
before
.
Yeeld
to
me
thy
friend
,
yeeld
to
all
them
that
are
offended
through
thee
,
and
fall
because
of
thy
fall
,
yeeld
to
all
them
that
are
in
despaire
because
of
thy
despaire
,
that
they
may
not
surmise
they
cannot
tread
the
true
way
,
vnlesse
they
see
thee
returne
.
Regard
(
I
desire
you
)
the
pensiuenesse
of
the
whole
congregation
of
the
faithfull
brethren
,
the
great
ioy
and
triumphing
of
the
faithlesse
,
the
vsuall
by
words
of
slouthfull
youthes
,
regard
wbat
authority
thou
art
to
many
to
wallow
in
the
mire
of
riot
.
And
if
so
be
that
you
returne
into
the
way
of
your
former
vertues
,
all
these
things
will
be
turned
into
the
contrary
.
Our
shame
and
confusion
shall
light
on
them
,
we
shall
be
ioyfull
and
glad
.
For
we
will
blaze
abrode
throughout
the
world
,
that
thou
art
a
subduer
of
lust
,
a
subduer
of
vncleane
and
foolish
voluptie
and
riot
,
and
we
will
brute
farre
and
wide
thy
glorious
triumph
.
That
victory
is
the
greater
that
is
gotten
after
a
fall
,
and
that
is
restored
after
flight
.
And
you
shall
not
onely
be
rewarded
,
for
your
owne
labour
and
reformation
,
but
shall
receiue
a
meede
for
the
safety
of
them
,
who
leuelling
their
life
to
thy
conuersation
haue
(
without
dispaire
)
returned
themselues
to
repentance
.
Neither
any
hereafter
hauing
fallen
howsoeuer
,
will
not
be
greedy
by
and
by
to
rise
,
and
incontinently
to
be
restored
Despise
not
(
if
you
loue
me
)
these
great
profits
,
neither
bring
our
soules
with
sorrow
to
the
graue
:
but
vouchsafe
vs
some
rest
,
and
chase
away
the
cloud
of
heauines
,
which
for
thy
sake
hath
ouercouered
vs
;
for
loe
letting
passe
our
owne
euils
,
we
bewaile
thy
fall
.
But
if
you
would
a
little
looke
vpward
,
and
be
in
loue
with
celestiall
things
,
we
should
be
eased
of
this
lamenting
.
and
we
might
be
caused
to
consider
our
owne
offences
.
That
men
may
by
repentance
repaire
their
pristine
gainesse
yea
somtimes
be
made
more
excellent
than
before
they
were
,
hetherto
we
haue
confirmed
out
of
the
word
of
God
.
And
to
conclude
this
point
,
this
is
the
cause
why
that
harlots
and
Publicans
inherit
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
and
that
many
that
were
last
,
shall
be
first
,
Henceforth
I
will
adde
the
things
that
haue
beene
done
in
our
age
,
of
which

I
know
.
You
know
that
yong
man
the
sonne
of
Vrbanus
,
the
chiefest
of
that
prouince
whose
parents
died
in
his
minority
,
but
left
him
very
wealthy
in
houshold
stuffe
,
gold
,
siluer
and
possessions
.
That
youth
contemning
at
the
first
all
pompe
,
and
pride
,
(
which
that
age
and
ritches
for
the
most
part
follow
)
he
left
the
schooles
of
humane
artes
,
and
betooke
himselfe
to
a
base
life
in
which
putting
on
course
and
homely
arayment
,
he
departed
to
the
mountaines
and
desart
places
.
Where
being
exercised
in
the
temperancy
of
true
philosophy
,
he
not
onely
matched
(
which
is
but
seldome
seene
in
those
yeeres
,
)
but
passed
too
,
great
and
wonderfull
men
in
the
vertue
of
abstinency
;
yea
when
afterward
he
was
baptised
he
passingly
increased
in
vertues
At
which
thing
all
reioyced
,
&
praysed
the
Lord
,
that
borne
to
so
great
wealth
,
&
descended
of
such
a
family
,
euen
in
the
Aprill
of
his
daies
he
troad
vnder
foote
at
once
all
vanity
of
this
momentary
life
,
and
had
an
hungry
desire
of
eternall
ioy
.
Liuing
after
this
sort
,
and
in
this
admiration
,
among
all
,
certaine
of
his
kindred
(
but
naughty
persons
)
at
the
first
came
to
see
him
,
and
after
by
continuance
of
lewd
talke
,
When
these
and
such
like
things
as
touching
his
life
being
rumored
abroad
,
were
knowne
to
all
,
and
we
also
were
ashamed
of
his
doing
;
certaine
holy
men
,
expert
in
this
kind
of
hunting
,
and
who
had
found
out
by
long
vse
and
experience
,
that
naught
was
to
be
despaired
,
putting
on
the
armour
of
hope
,
they
began
to
watch
him
more
narrowly
.
And
if
it
fortuned
he
were
in
the
street
,
they
approached
neere
and
courteously
saluted
him
;
but
he
on
horse-backe
scarce
greeted
them
againe
,
or
thought
them
worthy
an
answere
,
when
they
went
by
his
side
;
such
was
his
pride
and
wickednes
.
But
those
mercifull
men
,
accounting
none
of
these
an
iniury
,
respected
only
that
they
had
intended
,
that
they
m●ght
(
if
it
were
possible
by
any
meanes
)
deliuer
the
lambe
out
of
the
teeth
of
wolues
;
which
by
patience
was
in
fine
achiued
.
For
weighing
they
did
this
often
,
and
prying
into
his
owne
life
with
the
inward
eyes
of
his
mind
,
he
blushed
somewhat
at
their
boldnesse
and
tendring
,
and
when
he
marked
they
came
a
far
off
,
he
would
dismount
from
his
horse
,
and
bowing
his
head
towards
the
earth
,
he
harkened
diligently
to
their
speeches
,
and
in
processe
of
time
he
reuerenced
them
more
.
And
so
reuolting
by
peece-meale
,
through
the
grace
of
God
,
and
their
meeke
counsell
,
and
rid
from
all
the
nets
of
death
wherin
he
was
entangled
,
he
went
againe
to
the
wildernes
,
to
the
mountaines
,
and
to
the
wonted
exercises
of
philosophie
,
and
after
was
of
such
humilitie
,
that
his
latter
doings
exceeded
his
wonderfull
beginning
.
He
learned
by
proofe
the
occasion
of
his
fall
,
and
the
allurement
of
all
his
error
.
That
also
he
did
,
which
(
doubtlesse
)
was
agreeable
to
Christs
commaundement
in
the
Gospell
;
Another
also
after
many
labours
he
had
sustained
in
the
wildernes
,
hauing
onely
the
company
of
one
in
his
life
and
mansion
place
,
continued
an
Angelicall
life
,
from
his
yong
age
,
to
his
very
old
daies
.

Good
Lord
,
how
much
difference
is
there
betweene
the
Romish
Masse-mongring
Moonkes
now
being
,
and
the
Monks
which
were
in
Chrisostomes
dayes
?
Those
were
continent
,
and
sequestred
(
although
they
should
haue
had
a
care
of
the
saluation
of
their
brethren
also
)
themselues
from
the
vulgar
sort
of
men
to
the
end
they
might
giue
themselues
wholy
to
contemplation
and
meditation
,
(
for
this
was
the
cause
why
Basill
the
great
went
to
Pontus
,
and
inuited
his
friend
Gregory
the
Diuine
to
him
,
)
these
are
lecherous
and
lustfull
,
coueting
that
sort
of
life
for
idlenes
alone
,
and
belly
cheere
.
Those
a
soone
as
they
perceiued
their
vncleannes
(
this
fellow
heere
alleaged
is
a
witnes
)
fel
to
repentance
without
stay
:
these
through
sensuality
committing
grosse
&
carnall
sins
,
neuer
truely
repent
for
it
,
and
yet
beare
men
in
hand
they
are
the
holiest
persons
vnder
the
Sunne
.
Of
whom
it
was
said
rightly
though
in
a
rithme
,
O
monachi
,
vestri
stomachi
,
sunt
amphora
Bacchi
!
Vos
estis
,
Deus
est
testis
,
turpissima
pestis
.
Let
none
then
of
the
ignorant
sort
suppose
that
this
example
maketh
ought
for
the
vprightnes
of
Moonkes
now
a
daies
.
But
(
I
know
not
how
)
drowsily
yeelding
to
the
suggestion
and
first
battery
of
the
diuell
,
he
fell
into
the
desire
of
a
woman
,
when
as
hee
neuer
saw
any
,
sithence
he
became
a
Moonke
.
First
,
then
he
desired
his
fellow
with
whom
he
liued
,
to
bring
him
wine
,
and
flesh
to
feed
on
,
who
making
no
hast
,
he
threatned
him
,
that
he
would
goe
downe
into
the
city
.
Which
he
said
not
that
he
might
eat
flesh
,
but
that
he
might
find
opportunity
to
satisfie
his
lust
.
His
companion
marueiling
at
this
and
fearing
least
he
should
doe
him
more
harme
,
if
he
should
deny
his
request
,
gaue
that
he
asked
,
and
fulfilled
his
will
.
When
he
saw
no
way
to
guile
,
openly
and
shamelesly
,
he
reuealeth
his
desire
,
and
confesseth
he
will
goe
downe
to
the
Citie
.
The
other
by
much
perswasion
not
able
to
retaine
him
,
let
him
goe
and
followed
him
a
far
off
,
to
se
what
he
would
doe
and
whither
he
would
go
.
And
when
a
great
way
behind
he
saw
him
entring
a
brothel-house
,
and
to
haue
cooled
his
lust
with
the
company
of
a
strumpet
,
tarrying
at
the
dore
straightway
when
he
came
forth
,
he
exhorted
him
to
repentance
,
he
imbraced
him
,
and
louingly
kissed
him
,
and
rebuked
him
not
for
his
fal
,
but
desired
him
that
now
his
lust
being
cooled
,
he
would
returne
to
his
old
habitation
,
and
to
the
solitary
wildernes
.
But
he
marking
in
him
such
meekenesse
and
gentlenes
,
was
ashamed
,
and
stroken
thorow
with
the
force
of
his
words
and
deeds
,
and
condemning
himselfe
for
his
misdemeaner
,
goeth
with
his
fellow
(
which
was
so
good
and
humble
)
into
the
mountaine
.
Whither
when
they
came
he
entreated
of
him
,
that
when
he
was
shut
vp
closely
in
his
cell
,
and
heremitage
,
he
would
[
*
](A04503-e22720-b)
*
G.F.C.
dayly
.
euery
second
day
bring
him
bread
and
water
,
If
any
should
seeke
him
,
he
willed
him
to
say
,
that
he
was
[
*
](A04503-e22730-b)
*
G.F.C.
a
sleepe
dead
.
Which
things
obtayned
,
he
shut
vp
himselfe
,
and
thereabode
,
clensing
the
foulnesse
of
his
sinne
,
with
fasting
,
prayers
,
and
weeping
.
Few
daies
passed
ouer
,
when
a
drowth
(
because
of
the
want
of
raine
)
had
hurte
the
country
neere
about
him
,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
that
land
lamented
much
.
But
one
of
them
was
warned
in
a
dreame
to
goe
to
that
man
inclosed
in
a
cell
,
that
he
might
pray
,
and
that
by
no
other
way
raine
might
be
procured
,
but
by
his
prayers
,
So
departing
with
some
other
taken
to
him
,
he
found
this
Monkes
complice
alone
,
and
demaunded
where
he
was
,
whom
the
vision
admonished
him
to
seek
.
When
he
heard
he
was
dead
,
he
deemed
his
vision
false
,
and
they
returned
all
to
prayer
,
but
the
same
vision
tolde
him
againe
the
same
things
.
Wherat
earnestly
entreating
him
,
that
before
had
deceiued
them
,
they
requested
him
to
shew
them
the
man
,
affirming
that
by
the
authority
of
so
marueilous
a
vision
,
they
were
sent
to
him
being
aliue
,
not
dead
.
Seeing
it
was
the
wil
of
God
he
brings
them
to
that
godly
man
,
and
the
wall
being
broken
downe
,
(
because
he
had
shut
the
doore
,
)
they
enter
in
and
fall
before
his
feete
,
desiring
him
(
when
the
truth
of
the
matter
was
declared
)
to
release
the
famine
by
intercession
.
First
,
his
excuse
was
,
that
hee
could
not
demerite
so
great
a
thing
.
at
which
words
,
he
burst
forth
into
weeping
for
the
offence
he
had
committed
,
as
if
he
had
seene
it
fresh
before
his
eies
.
At
length
for
the
importunitie
of
the
requesters
,
(
for
as
much
as
he
perceiued
God
would
haue
it
so
,
)
he
gaue
him selfe
to
supplication
,
and
out
of
hand
there
followed
,
great
store
of
raine
,
wherwith
both
the
earth
and
men
were
refreshed
.

G.F.C.
sonne
of
Zebidaeus
Apostle
,
but
after
practised
robbing
for
a
long
time
?
Neuerthelesse
afterward
the
Apostle
got
hold
on
him
,
as
he
came
out
from
the
robbers
den
,
and
brought
him
again
(
as
you
will
know
)
to
his
former
life
,
so
that
his
beginning
was
not
to
be
conferred
with
his
end
.
I
remember
when
you
read
this
story
you
admired
the
incredible
meekenes
of
this
Apostle
,
and
among
other
tokens
of
his
sincere
loue
towards
him
,
which
he
shewed
,
this
you
said
you
most
wondered
at
that
he
kissed
the
hand
of
the
young
man
besmeared
with
bloud
,
and
so
with
imbracing
reclaimed
him
to
euerlasting
life
,
when
as
by
all
likelihood
he
was
neare
to
the
brinke
of
death
.
Saint
Paule
also
not
onely
loued
and
embraced
Onesimus
conuerted
,
who
was
an
vnprofitable
seruant
,
and
fugitiue
theefe
,
but
maketh
petition
to
his
master
,
that
he
shuld
esteeme
him
as
himselfe
,
and
that
because
he
recanted
.
The
same
Apostle
writeth
to
the
Corinthians
,
touching
them
that
haue
sinned
,
in
this
wise
,
For
which
cause
,
I
feare
me
,
the
same
will
fall
out
to
vs
,
and
although
the

Paule
,
who
threatned
the
Corinthians
,
bee
not

elbowes
,
yet
Christ
is
present
,
who
spake
by
him
,
and
if
wee
perseuer
in
hardnesse
of
heart
,
he
will
say
to
vs
,
I
will
not
spare
you
,
not
onely
in
the
time
present
,
but
not
in
the
time
to
come
neither
,
Wherefore
let
vs
preuent
his
face
by
confession
,
And
surely
this
I
assuredly
know
,
thou
confessest
thy
transgressions
,
and
mournest
for
thy selfe
,
but
this
I
doe
not
alonely
require
of
thee
;
for
I
would
haue
the
amendment
of
the
things
to
come
arise
,
of
the
confession
of
the
things
past
,
and
so
I
would
haue
it
done
,
that
whilest
thou
doest
it
be
thou
ascertained
of
forgienesse
.
For
euery
one
that
doth
ought
,
vnlesse
he
know
the
thing
he
hath
in
hand
will
profit
him
goeth
about
it
,
either
carelesly
,
or
not
seriously
.
For
example
he
that
soweth
seed
,
vnles
he
be
sure
and
certaine
there
will
be
raine
,
that
the
earth
will
send
forth
the
blade
,
and
that
the
fruit
will
ripen
,
he
will
neuer
reape
.
And
as
none
would
faine
spend
labour
in
wast
,
nor
bestow
diligence
in
that
which
shall
not
be
beneficiall
vnto
him
;
so
he
that
soweth
sorrow
,
teares
and
confession
which
is
without
hope
vnprofitable
,
cannot
cease
from
sinne
,
being
holden
fast
by
incredulity
.
But
as
the
husband
man
which
hath
no
hope
to
reape
fruit
careth
not
to
driue
off
the
birds
from
his
corne
,
or
beasts
,
or
any
other
nociue
things
,
right
so
he
that
soweth
confession
with
teares
,
and
hopeth
not
it
will
be
gainefull
,
putteth
and
driueth
nothing
from
his
heart
,
which
may
hurt
repentance
.
Repentance
is
hurted
,
if
it
be
enwrapped
,
in
such
euils
as
hee
was
first
;
When
one
buildeth
and
another
breaketh
downe
,
So
then
this
sufficeth
not
,
to
accuse
thy selfe
by
declaring
thy
sinnes
,
but
doe
it
with
that
zeale
,
that
hope
of
iustification
may
proceede
of
repentaunce
,
and
so
you
may
bridle
your
soule
to
commit
neuer
the
thinges
againe
,
of
which
you
haue
made
confession
.
One
for
to
giue
censure
against
himselfe
,
is
common
to
the
faithfull
and
faithlesse
.
Many
actors
on
stage
which
represent
vnchast
queanes
&
whormongers
call
themselues
sinners
and
naughty
folke
,
but
not
with
purpose
to
amend
,
and
therefore
in
very
deede
it
is
no
confession
.
For
they
speake
it
not
for
griefe
of
heart
,
nor
with
bitternesse
of
teares
,
nor
with
hatred
of
the
things
they
confesse
,
as
if
they
would
no
more
eyther
heare
or
doe
the
like
,
but
the
words
be
all
the
matter
,
which
they
blab
out
with
their
lips
,
not
touched
or
pinched
in
minde
,
but
after
a
sort
hunting
for
praise
,
throgh
the
elegancie
and
trimnesse
of
speech
,
which
they
vse
to
theyr
auditors
.
Neither
are
sinnes
so
greeuous
when
they
are
colorably
declared
,
as
when
indeed
they
are
committed
.
Againe
some
are
so
benummed
with
ouer-great
despaire
,
and
are
so
deuoyde
of
sence
,
that
making
like
account
of
good
&
illreport
,
with
great
impudency
they
disclose
their
sinnes
,
as
though
they
were
another
bodies
.
But
I
would
haue
thee
to
do
nothing
so
,
neither
for
despaire
to
come
to
confession
but
with
good
and
sure
hope
of
forgiuenes
,
the
very
roote
of
despaire
being
cut
off
.
Now
the
root
of
despaire
is
sloathfulnes
,
and
not
the
root
onely
but
the
nurse
too
.

A

is

to

any

is
hard
,
and
not
possible
to
be
obtained
by
him
or
any

through

great

which
when
it
ruleth
in

he
thinketh
it
may
be
eased
by
no
good
thing
.
And
because
sloathfulnes
is

certaine

spirit
,
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
despaire
ariseth

sloath

For
as
a
garment
breedeth
mothes
,
and
nourisheth
them
also
,
so
sloath
doth
not
alone
beget
desperation
but
nourisheth
and
fostereth
it
.
Insomuch
that
they
wax
and
grow
togither
,
the
one
being
cut
off
,
the
other
(
without
question
)
maneth
and
decreaseth
,
Wherefore
separate
this
link
of
sinnes
,
and
breake
their
yoake
.
By
the
yoake
of
thy
soule
,
I
meane
vice
,
whereto
as
it
were
a
yoake
,
the
life
of
man
is
tyed
.
for
when
the
thought
of
man
is
not
right
,
the
axle-tree
of
life
is
carried
headlong
,
Harken
yet
what
more
we
will
say
.
Often
times
it
falleth
out
that
a
man
amendeth
many
and
great
sinnes
by
repentance
,
yet
he
committeth
faults
after
the
good
he
hath
wrought
.
And
this
is
it
,
which
layeth
chiefely
despaire
on
the
soule
,
because
she
seemeth
to
pull
downe
that
shee
builded
,
and
vainely
to
haue
spent
all
her
trauell
,
this
cogitation
(
I
say
)
depriueth
the
soule
of
hope
and
confidence
.
Contrariwise
we
must
thinke
what
way
this
bad
&
hurtful
thought
may
be
expelled
,
namely
,
that
vnlesse
the
good
we
doe
,
and
the
amendment
gotten
by
repentance
prohibited
,
and
were
(
as
it
were
)
a
contrary
weight
to
our
sinnes
,
there
were
no
stay
,
but
that
wee
should
be
carried
downeward
into
the
depth
of
mischiefe
.
And
as
a
strong
habergion
suffereth
not
a
keine
and
poysoned
dart
to
pierce
the
intrals
of
the
body
,
but
in
some
part
stoppeth
the
force
therof
:
so
is
it
certain
that
he
that
carieth
hence
many
good
thinges
and
many
bad
,
shall
find
some
ease
in
his
punishment
:
and
he
that
shall
depart
without
any
goodnesse
,
and
with
great
store
of
euill
,
what
should
I
speake
of
his
punishment
?
For
there
(
questionlesse
)
good
and
bad
workes
shall
be
rewarded
,
and
each
(
as
it
were
)
shall
be
ballanced
,
and
the
part
that
sinketh
,
shal
draw
with
it
the
worker
.

There

Small
good
workes
conioyned
with
faith
and
repentance
go
not
without
reward
.
And
as
worldly
riches
increase
,
when
euery
small
gaine
is
regarded
:
so
it
fareth
in
heauenly
riches
,
in
increasing
the
which
no
little
good
deede
must
be
contemned
.
Surely
it
is
an
absurdity
,
(
seeing
our
Iudge
doth
not
deny
a
reward
for
[

for

Yea
this
more
I
ad
,
that
he
that
despiseth
not

little

will
by
little

come
to
great
things

he
that
contemneth
small
things
,
(
which
concordeth
with
the
Scripture
)
shall
fall
by
little
and
little

And
therefore
I
thinke
for
this
cause
,
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
did
ordaine
for
small
things
great
rewardes
.
For
what
is
lesse
,
than
to
visit
the
sicke
?
And
yet
for
this
small
worke
,
hee
hath
laid
vp
a
great
reward
.
And
againe
,
what
is
so
easie
,
as
to
giue
the
hungry
bread
,
the
thirstie
drinke
,
the
naked
raiment
,
and
to
seeke
out
him
that
is
shut
vp
in
prison
?
Yet
these
things
that
be
so
little
and
small
,
he
reckneth
so
great
as
that
he
accounteth
them
ministred
not
to
man
,
but
to
himselfe
,
and
for
them
hath
promised
the
