Behold
,
in
my
peace
I
had
great
bitternesse
;
but
thou
hast
,
in
loue
to
my
soule
,
deliuered
it
from
the
pit
of
corruption
:
for
,
thou
hast
cast
all
my
sinnes
behind
thy
backe
.
WHen
our
SAVIOVR
rode
into
Ierusalem
,
accompanied
with
such
multitudes
of
people
,
some
vnclothing
the
trees
,
others
their
backes
,
to
spread
in
his
way
,
all
of
them
shouting
vp
to
heauen
,
with
Hosanna
,
Benedictus
;
it
is
said
in
the
storie
,
that
all
the
Citie
was
moued
,
and
it
gaue
them
occasion
to
aske
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
who
is
this
?
The
representation
of
such
a
person
,
with
such
a
traine
,
in
such
a
fashion
,
and
with
such
a
dittie
,
made
them
conceiue
it
was
some
rare
and
vnusuall
thing
.
My
message
this
day
is
something
out
of
course
,
and
might
well
require
a
preface
,
(
I
am
sure
,
Hosanna
,
and
Benedictus
,
will
be
the
summe
of
it
,
)
besides
a
presence
not
ordinarie
,
of
the
heads
and
corners
of
the
people
,
and
a
face
of
Solemnitie
,
such
as
reserueth
it selfe
onely
for
festiuals
.
I
thinke
there
is
none
so
vnsensible
,
that
is
not
moued
hereat
,
and
will
aske
,
(
at
least
)
to
himselfe
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
;
Creauit
Dominus
nouum
super
terram
:
Surely
the
Lord
hath
created
some
new
worke
in
the
Land
,
that
hath
produced
this
new
meeting
.
The
very
exhibition
of
these
dumbe
shewes
,
though
they
haue
neither
language
nor
speech
,
without
the
helpe
of
the
tongue
,
were
sufficient
preface
.
And
yet
I
haue
a
preface
in
my
text
.
Ecce
,
behold
,
standeth
at
your
doores
,
I
meane
the
eares
of
your
flesh
,
to
lift
vp
their
heads
and
hatches
,
I
say
not
,
that
the
King
of
glory
,
who
is
the
King
of
kings
,
but
yet
that
a
glorious
King
,
and
his
gracious
confession
may
enter
into
your
hearts
.
It
is
placed
at
the
gates
of
my
text
,
and
a
thousand
others
in
this
booke
,
as
Porters
at
the
gates
of
great
mens
houses
:
Strangers
&
Wanderers
,
and
Passengers
,
and
Circumforaneos
,
idle
Companions
that
stand
to
gaze
,
they
keepe
out
;
admit
none
but
friends
and
bidden
ghests
,
Those
who
come
to
these
sacred
assemblies
,
with
vnsanctified
eares
and
spirits
,
only
ad
augendam
turbam
,
and
lay
vp
in
their
hearts
,
with
Marie
,
that
they
may
bring
forth
of
their
treasuries
for
their
vse
,
with
the
Scribe
;
these
,
and
none
others
it
inuiteth
,
and
pulleth
after
it
,
as
with
the
cords
and
cables
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
as
that
chaine
that
was
tied
to
the
tongue
of
Mercurie
,
and
fastned
to
the
eares
of
the
people
,
drew
his
Auditors
.
Behold
.
And
(
me
thinketh
,
)
it
is
somewhat
like
the
King
that
vttered
it
;
for
the
King
is
no
more
then
another
man
,
mole
,
in
bulke
of
body
;
virtute
,
in
power
,
he
is
more
.
We
say
,
that
a
King
hath
long
hands
,
he
may
sit
in
Ierusalem
,
and
reach
to
the
ends
of
his
kingdome
;
as
the
body
of
the
Sunne
is
in
his
sphaere
alone
,
but
his
beames
vpon
the
earth
:
and
the
blaze
of
a
Comet
is
much
farther
extended
then
the
starre
it selfe
goeth
:
so
,
though
the
body
of
Ecce
,
be
but
in
the
frontispice
,
and
at
the
threshold
of
my
text
,
yet
doth
the
hand
,
the
beames
,
the
blaze
,
the
vertue
,
and
strength
of
it
go
into
euery
part
.
For
,
whether
you
consider
his
sicknesse
,
which
he
styleth
bitternesse
;
and
the
time
of
that
sicknesse
,
in
peace
,
when
he
least
looked
for
it
;
or
,
whether
his
recouery
,
Eruisti
animam
meam
,
and
the
motiue
to
that
recouery
,
in
loue
to
my
soule
,
perhaps
when
he
least
deserued
it
;
or
,
whether
the
cause
of
that
sicknesse
,
Sinnes
,
and
the
full
remission
of
those
sinnes
,
Proiecisti
posttergum
,
when
he
did
not
so
much
as
craue
it
;
Ecce
,
imparteth
it selfe
to
them
all
alike
.
I
fell
vpon
the
mention
of
a
King
.
I
will
set
one
Ecce
more
vpon
the
person
from
whom
this
speech
came
:
It
was
the
speech
of
Hezekiah
the
King
:
a
great
and
magnificent
King
,
both
at
home
and
abroad
;
a
vertuous
and
religious
King
,
which
is
the
pure
gold
in
the
Crowne
of
a
King
,
the
rest
is
but
drosse
;
a
King
of
the
holy
land
,
so
was
not
Merodach
Baladan
in
the
head
of
the
next
Chapter
,
for
he
was
the
King
of
Babylon
.
It
will
be
the
more
gratefull
for
the
authors
sake
.
Said
I
,
a
speech
?
it
is
more
:
Scriptura
Hezekiae
Regis
,
the
9.
verse
,
the
writing
of
Hezekiah
the
King
:
the
labor
,
not
of
his
tongue
,
but
of
his
pen
;
he
did
not
fundere
,
but
fingere
,
poure
it
forth
at
aduentures
,
but
frame
it
vpon
aduice
.
I
put
a
great
difference
betwixt
speech
,
and
writing
.
Speech
hath
wings
,
volat
&
auolat
,
it
flieth
and
dieth
;
so
doth
not
writing
:
you
must
seeke
for
a
word
,
in
aure
,
in
the
eare
of
him
that
receiued
it
,
where
it
hath
but
slender
footing
;
or
in
aëre
,
in
the
aire
,
where
it
perisheth
with
the
sound
.
If
you
will
seeke
for
a
writing
,
you
shall
find
it
in
aere
,
or
in
marmore
,
in
plates
of
brasse
,
or
in
tables
of
stone
,
where
it
may
be
a
monument
to
after
ages
:
It
suruiueth
the
author
,
and
doth
good
to
the
liuing
when
the
author
is
gone
.
In
this
sence
it
is
true
,
Surgunt
ex
mortuis
,
Yet
there
is
more
:
for
it
is
the
writing
of
a
King
,
I
say
not
before
his
death
,
(
from
which
he
was
newly
deliuered
,
as
in
a
parable
of
the
resurrection
,
Heb.
11.
)
but
instantly
vpon
that
time
,
wherein
he
was
neare
to
dying
:
and
then
are
the
words
of
a
man
most
gratefull
,
vt
esse
Phoebi
dulcius
humen
solet
,
iam
iam
cadentis
,
as
the
light
of
the
Sun
,
most
pleasant
about
his
going
downe
.
But
that
which
is
most
of
all
;
it
is
written
with
the
point
of
a
diamond
,
to
remaine
for
eternitie
,
and
is
a
part
of
the
euidences
and
muniments
of
the
Church
,
layd
vp
amongst
her
sacred
Records
,
for
a
memoriall
of
his
thankfulnesse
,
offered
,
and
consecrated
to
God
vpon
that
deliuerance
.
This
is
a
part
of
his
writing
;
the
composition
whereof
is
of
sundry
and
contrary
parts
:
To
giue
you
a
summary
view
of
all
the
materials
therein
,
and
their
natural
consequence
:
First
,
you
haue
Peace
,
that
leadeth
to
all
the
rest
;
but
Peace
had
an
ill
neighbour
that
troubled
it
,
Sinne
,
in
the
hindmost
part
of
my
Text.
Sinne
bringeth
forth
bitternesse
:
and
not
onely
so
,
but
bitternesse
added
to
bitternesse
.
Bitternesse
thus
accumulated
,
must
needs
haue
brought
to
the
pit
,
and
the
pit
,
in
the
end
,
would
haue
turned
to
corruption
,
or
consumption
.
Thus
farre
goeth
the
blacke
line
of
my
text
,
the
shadow
of
sorrow
and
death
.
But
then
cometh
the
other
Hemisphaere
of
comfort
and
light
;
wherein
you
haue
,
first
,
the
loue
and
good
pleasure
of
God
:
secondly
,
Redemption
from
the
pit
of
corruption
,
as
touching
the
body
:
thirdly
,
Remission
of
sins
,
as
concerning
the
soule
.
So
it
is
not
here
as
in
the
68.
Psalme
,
where
the
singers
go
before
,
and
the
minstrels
follow
after
,
&c.
here
,
the
mourners
go
first
,
like
the
captiues
in
their
ancient
Triumphs
;
sinne
,
and
sicknesse
,
and
the
pit
,
and
corruption
;
then
come
the
minstrels
and
singers
,
I
meane
the
mercies
of
God
,
as
in
a
triumphant
chariot
,
curing
both
the
body
from
sicknesse
,
and
the
soule
from
sins
.
The
three
parts
and
roomes
of
my
text
wherein
this
whole
matter
is
lodged
and
disposed
,
Peter
,
Matth.
17.
The
first
is
,
In
my
peace
I
had
great
bitternesse
.
The
second
,
But
thou
in
loue
to
my
soule
,
hast
deliuered
it
from
the
pit
of
corruption
.
The
third
,
For
thou
hast
cast
all
my
sins
behind
thy
backe
.
Let
these
parts
be
,
as
those
three
tabernacles
.
Me
thinketh
I
see
Moses
in
the
first
,
of
a
fearefull
visage
that
hath
need
to
be
veiled
,
Bitternesse
,
Bitternesse
.
Elias
in
the
second
,
when
he
is
raising
the
widowes
sonne
at

,

Reg.
17.
Thou
hast
deliuered
my
soule
from
the
pit
.
CHRIST
in
the
third
,
full
of
grace
and
truth
,
casting
my
sinnes
behind
his
backe
.
Or
,
if
you
please
,
let
my
text
be
as
the
Arke
of
testimonie
,
wherein
there
were
kept
for
store
,
the
tables
of
the
Law
,
the
pot
of
Manna
,
&
Aarons
rod
,
Heb.
9.
They
conceipt
it
well
that
the
Arke
is
the
Church
;
the
Tables
,
the
word
;
the
Manna
,
the
Sacraments
;
and
the
Rod
,
the
discipline
.
I
am
sure
in
the
Arke
of
my
text
,
there
is
first
a
rod
,
of
bitternesse
,
bitternesse
;
and
secondly
,
the
manna
of
deliuerance
from
the
consuming
pit
;
and
thirdly
;
the
tables
,
not
of
the
Law
,
but
of
the
Gospell
;
not
of
the
Old
,
but
the
New
couenant
;
of
the
Law
,
not
of
facts
,
but
of
faith
;
the
tender
mercies
of
God
,
in
absoluing
from
sinne
.
In
three
words
,
Hezekiah
is
sicke
,
in
the
first
tabernacle
:
sound
,
in
the
second
,
sanus
,
or
sanabilis
,
onward
to
his
health
,
as
touching
his
body
:
safe
,
and
secure
in
the
third
,
as
concerning
his
soule
.
And
in
euery
of
these
three
are
two
remarkable
things
.
In
the
first
,
-
1.
sicknesse
with
the
-
qualitie
,
bitternes
;
extremity
and
degree
,
bitternesse
,
bitternesse
.
-
2.
the
time
and
aduantage
that
the
sicknesse
tooke
,
In
my
peace
.
In
the
second
-
1.
deliuerance
,
Eruisti
animam
meam
.
-
2.
the
motiue
that
induced
God
,
thou
in
thy
loue
,
&c.
In
the
third
,
-
1.
the
cause
of
the
sicknesse
,
Sinnes
.
-
2.
the
remoue
of
that
cause
,
Thou
hast
cast
,
&c.
I
began
at
the
first
tabernacle
,
and
therein
first
with
the
rod
,
In
my
peace
I
had
great
bitternesse
.
The
kind
of
this
sicknesse
is
not
mentioned
till
the
21
verse
,
there
it
is
called
vlcus
,
a
botch
;
it
is
thought
to
haue
bene
a
plague-sore
,
I
dispute
it
not
,
I
am
sure
it
was
somewhat
neere
;
I
will
but
drinke
of
the
brooke
in
my
way
,
and
giue
you
a
short
note
.
Wee
haue
knowne
by
bitter
,
bitter
experience
,
what
a
plague
is
;
but
God
tooke
a
plaister
of
figges
,
of
his
sweete
mercies
in
Christ
,
well-nigh
fifteene
yeares
sithence
;
and
applied
to
the
botch
,
and
healed
the
sores
of
this
land
:
in
the
vertue
and
strength
whereof
,
we
haue
walked
to
this
present
day
:
and
we
for
the
figges
of
his
mercies
haue
returned
him
the
thistles
of
our
sinnes
,
the
clusters
of
Sodome
,
and
the
wine
of
Dragons
;
and
yet
,
Ecce
in
pace
,
we
heale
our
hurts
with
sweet
words
,
crying
,
peace
,
peace
,
all
is
well
,
and
so
shall
be
;
To
morrow
shall
be
as
this
day
,
and
much
better
,
and
this
yeare
as
the
last
,
and
freer
.
Deceiue
not
your selues
:
you
haue
a
great
and
populous
Citie
,
sowne
with
the
seede
of
man
,
as
the
Prophet
speaketh
;
I
may
say
,
with
the
seed
,
rather
the
weed
,
of
building
.
I
say
not
,
that
your
Citie
may
go
out
at
your
gates
;
surely
,
it
may
go
out
at
your
Suburbes
;
the
hemme
of
your
garment
is
more
then
the
garment
it selfe
:
the
lop
,
and
burthen
of
the
tree
,
more
then
the
stemme
can
beare
,
and
threatneth
the
ruine
of
the
whole
body
.
To
speake
plainely
,
the
regions
are
white
and
drie
to
the
haruest
;
there
is
matter
enough
within
,
in
respect
of
your
sinne
;
without
,
in
respect
of
your
building
,
for
a
pestilence
to
worke
vpon
,
vnlesse
,
as
the
antidote
of
the
blessed
goodnesse
of
God
,
then
cured
,
so
the
preseruatiue
of
his
sauing
grace
,
now
keepe
you
from
it
.
I
go
on
.
Whatsoeuer
were
the
species
,
manifest
it
is
what
the
qualitie
of
the
sicknesse
was
,
bitternesse
;
what
the
quantitie
,
bitternesse
,
bitternesse
;
some
sharpe
and
wringing
disease
;
as
when
the
Prophet
cried
out
,
My
bellie
,
My
bellie
;
the
very
doubling
of
the
word
expressed
what
his
paine
was
.
We
are
alwayes
ill
,
when
we
are
in
our
best
health
;
Manichees
,
of
their
idle
and
impious
writings
;
principium
truncum
,
medium
putridum
,
finis
ruinosus
;
their
beginning
was
naught
,
their
proceeding
naught
,
their
ending
naught
;
So
is
it
with
vs
;
Ingressus
flebilis
,
progressus
debilis
,
egressus
horribilis
,
a
mournfull
natiuity
,
wofull
life
,
dreadfull
death
.
Morbi
,
citatio
ad
mortem
;
sicknesse
is
a
summons
to
death
:
he
that
is
least
sicke
,
may
,
and
in
the
end
must
die
.
Death
hath
euer
her
arrow
in
her
bow
,
though
in
the
prime
ages
of
the
world
she
was
sometimes
nine
hundred
yeares
before
she
sped
,
yet
now
she
hitteth
quickly
;
and
when
God
saith
,
shoote
,
she
shooteth
;
and
so
long
as
God
saith
,
spare
,
she
spareth
.
For
what
is
thy
life
?
Breue
suspirium
,
a
short
panting
.
Canst
thou
measure
the
blast
of
winde
?
(
said
the
Angell
to
Esdras
;
)
canst
thou
measure
(
say
I
)
the
blast
of
thine
owne
winde
?
the
breath
within
thy
nostrels
?
spiras
,
exspiras
,
now
thou
art
breathing
,
anon
thy
breath
is
gone
.
It
dealeth
with
the
arke
of
thy
body
,
as
the
doue
with
the
Arke
of
Noah
,
which
goeth
forth
,
and
commeth
in
,
and
goeth
forth
,
and
neuer
cometh
backe
againe
.
So
doth
thy
breath
.
But
,
he
that
is
sicke
of
a
sicknesse
indeed
,
a
sicknesse
that
is
mali
moris
,
as
the
Physitians
speake
,
such
as
this
sicknesse
of
Hezekiah
was
,
bitternesse
,
bitternesse
,
hath
but
a
short
reckoning
to
make
to
the
houre
of
his
dying
.
For
it
fareth
with
the
bodie
of
man
,
as
with
a
vessell
of
wine
in
a
frugall
house
;
being
kept
for
our selues
,
and
our
friends
which
drinke
moderately
,
it
is
long
in
drawing
;
but
,
if
sponges
,
tunnels
,
and
barrels
come
to
it
,
such
as
are
mightie
to
drinke
,
and
strong
to
poure
in
,
they
will
spend
that
in
a
day
,
which
would
haue
serued
a
long
time
.
So
may
the
thread
of
my
life
be
long
in
spinning
,
to
the
fortieth
,
or
fiftieth
yeare
thereof
;
it
may
be
,
ad
terminum
constitutum
,
Iob
14.
vnto
mine
old
age
,
(
for
that
is
the
bounder
of
nature
,
and
,
maledictus
qui
transfert
terminos
,
Deut.
27.
that
thinketh
,
Huic
vni
aetati
non
interceditur
,
there
is
no
dispensation
for
this
age
:
)
but
if
such
quaffers
shall
come
,
as
a
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
a
burning
feuer
,
or
the
like
malignant
diseases
,
that
drinke
vp
humidu
naturale
,
all
the
moisture
in
my
bodie
at
once
,
and
drie
it
vp
like
an
harth
,
or
like
a
bottle
hung
vp
in
the
smoke
;
that
is
done
in
an
houre
,
a
moment
,
which
had
not
else
bene
done
in
many
yeares
to
come
.
Now
,
but
in
a
word
consider
the
person
that
is
sicke
;
Hezekiah
the
King
.
If
any
person
in
the
earth
be
capable
of
that
style
,
Viue
in
aeternum
,
liue
for
euer
,
it
is
a
King
.
What
wanteth
a
King
,
of
all
the
beasts
of
the
field
,
or
fowles
of
the
aire
,
or
fishes
of
the
sea
,
what
either
nature
can
affoord
,
or
Art
condite
,
to
the
diet
of
his
bodie
,
comfort
of
his
heart
,
refreshing
of
his
spirits
?
It
seemeth
,
by
a
phrase
vsed
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
that
a
King
wanteth
nothing
.
Nabal
feasteth
like
a
King
,
1.
Sam.
25.
Araunah

the
Corinthians
reigne
like
Kings
,
1.
Cor.

and
yet
is
Hezekiah
the
King
sick
vsque
ad
mortem
,
vers.
1.
euen
vnto
death
,
that
is
,
bitterly
,
bitterly
:
death
had
stretched
forth
her
hand
against
him
,
as
Ieroboam
against
the
Prophet
,
to
haue
smitten
him
,
1.
Reg.
13.
but
that
the
Lord
withered
it
.
What
is
the
reason
?
Sum
quidem
&
ego
mortalis
homo
,
7.
Sap.
for
I
my selfe
(
saith
the
King
)
am
also
a
mortall
man
.
There
is
no
difference
in
nature
betwixt
a
King
and
a
meaner
person
.
Interuallis
distinguimur
,
exitu
aequamur
;
we
differ
in
condition
,
agree
in
dissolution
.
When
Diogenes
was
poring
amongst
dead
mens
bones
,
Alexander
asked
him
what
he
did
there
?
he
answered
,
I
seeke
the
bones
of
Philip
thy
father
,
King
of
Macedon
,
but
cannot
find
them
.
I
may
well
apply
the
words
of
the
Psalme
to
them
,
Constitue
Domine
legislatorem
super
eos
,
sciant
se
esse
homines
;
Set
thou
ô
Lord
,
a
Law-giuer
,
or
Ruler
ouer
them
,
that
they
may
know
they
are
but
men
.
They
giue
lawes
to
the
earth
;
and
death
to
them
,
and
her
law
is
an
euen
&
equall
law
,
to
King
and
people
all
alike
.
It
is
a
probleme
worthy
the
inquiring
;
Psalme
82.
I
haue
said
you
are
gods
,
but
ye
shall
die
like
men
.
Why
like
men
rather
then
other
creatures
?
I
will
not
giue
that
eminent
and
conspicuous
reason
,
that
when
beasts
die
,
by
reason
that
their
soules
arise
from
the
matter
of
their
flesh
,
they
die
,
and
die
thorowly
;
Iudgement
,
Hebrewes
9.
I
should
rather
say
,
that
beasts
,
for
the
more
part
,
liue
out
their
time
determinate
by
nature
,
til
nature
be
annihilated
,
vnlesse
violence
and
casuality
come
betweene
:
the
Elephant
liueth
longer
then
the
Hart
,
the
Hart
then
the
Lion
,
the
Lion
then
the
Horse
,
the
Horse
then
the
Dog
;
all
to
their
full
age
,
vnlesse
they
be
forced
out
of
life
:
but
man
dieth
in
his
infancie
,
and
oftener
in
this
then
any
other
age
;
no
sooner
saluteth
the
light
of
heauen
,
but
he
biddeth
farewell
to
it
;
and
that
which
is
more
,
death
entreth
the
very
secrets
of
nature
,
the
vault
of
the
wombe
,
and
with
her
Lynces
eyes
findeth
out
the
wayes
which
the
Eagle
and
Kite
neuer
found
out
,
and
killeth
the
babe
in
the
wombe
before
it
commeth
forth
.
You
haue
heard
of
the
sicknesse
:
In
my
peace
.
Victor
timere
quid
potest
?
(
said
he
in
the
Tragedie
)
and
it
is
answered
with
a
breath
,
Quod
non
timet
.
Hezekiah
had
newly
escaped
from
the
iawes
of
a
fearefull
King
,
Leuiathan
)
to
haue
drunke
vp
him
,
and
his
kingdome
)
who
asked
in
the
pride
of
his
heart
,
where
the
Kings
of
Arphad
,
and
Hemah
,
and
Zepharuaim
were
;
and
,
Hezekiah
,
Let
not
thy
God
deceiue
thee
,
in
whom
thou
trustest
;
and
he
would
make
the
people
to
eate
their
dung
,
and
drinke
their
water
.
Now
he
is
fallen
afresh
into
the
hands
of
the
King
of
feares
,
feare
of
Kings
;
who
is
,
Rex
super
omnes
filios
superbiae
,
Iob
41.
who
may
say
with
much
more
confidence
,
then
euer
Zenacherib
did
,
Where
euer
my
foote
treadeth
,
I
drie
vp
the
riuers
;
riuers
of
bloud
in
the
veines
,
and
of
milke
in
the
breasts
,
and
of
marrow
in
the
bones
;
and
aske
for
the
Kings
,
of
Arphad
,
and
Hemah
,
and
Zepharuaim
,
and
Zenacherib
himselfe
;
and
admonish
the
Kings
of
the
earth
,
Let
not
your
gods
,
your
Idols
of
greatnesse
,
and
glorie
,
and
maiestie
,
deceiue
you
,
wherein
you
trust
;
and
cause
them
to
eate
the
dust
of
the
ground
,
and
that
the
slime
of
the
pit
shall
be
sweet
to
them
.
Ecce
,
cùm
dixerint
pax
,
pax
,
Behold
,
when
men
shall
cry
peace
,
peace
,
sudden
destruction
shall
come
vpon
them
.
I
will
vse
the
words
of
the
Prophet
,
1.
Reg.
14.
I
will
do
it
in
hac
die
,
&
in
tempore
hoc
,
at
that
day
,
and
at
that
time
;
Quid
?
etiam
nunc
:
what
?
yea
,
at
this
very
instant
;
Ecce
,
in
pace
,
at
this
very
instant
of
time
,
when
Hezekiah
thought
he
had
clipt
the
wings
of
peace
,
that
it
should
neuer
flie
away
againe
;
when
strangers
from
abroad
saluted
him
,
Estne
pax
frater
?
is
all
well
?
when
he
did
not
much
lesse
,
then
say
to
his
soule
,
Anima
quiesce
,
Soule
take
thine
ease
,
flagellum
transijt
,
non
veniet
,
the
scourge
is
past
,
and
shall
neuer
come
againe
.
Did
he
then
thinke
of
a
Iebusite
in
the
Land
,
that
should
be
a
thorne
in
his
eyes
,
and
a
pricke
in
his
side
?
of
a
bosome
enemie
?
a
warre
within
his
bones
?
an
armie
of
trouble
and
temptation
in
his
owne
bowels
?
When
a
forreine
enemie
is
discouered
,
the
Beacons
are
fired
,
and
an
Ecce
is
giuen
to
the
Country
round
about
.
Here
is
a
domesticke
,
intestine
enemie
,
without
Beacon
,
or
any
admonition
at
all
;
but
whilest
he
sitteth
in
the
armes
of
peace
,
as
Sampson
in
the
lap
of
Delilah
,
a
sudden
alarme
is
heard
,
Vp
Sampson
,
the
Philistines
are
vpon
thee
;
Vp
Hezekiah
,
bitternesse
,
bitternes
is
vpon
thee
.
This
deserueth
the
Ecce
;
for
bitternesse
in
the
time
of
war
is
no
newes
,
Knowest
thou
not
that
it
will
be
bitternesse
in
the
later
end
?
(
Abner
to
Ioab
2.
Sam.
2.
)
but
bitternesse
,
and
doubled
bitternesse
in
the
midst
of
peace
,
this
is
strange
.
An
image
,
a
glasse
,
a
sea
of
glasse
,
that
all
the
people
of
the
earth
may
stand
vpon
the
shore
of
my
text
,
and
see
the
face
of
their
fraile
&
vnconstant
condition
.
A
man
,
and
the
best
of
men
,
a
King
,
&
the
best
of
Kings
;
(
I
speake
not
of
Balthazar
,
but
as
he
in
the
midst
of
his
cups
,
so
this
)
in
the
midst
of
his
comforts
,
seized
and
surprised
at
vnawares
with
a
grieuous
disease
that
added
bitternesse
vnto
bitternesse
;
and
cut
not
off
the
lap
of
his
coate
,
(
that
is
)
pinched
him
in
a
finger
or
ioynt
,
but
assaulted
the
life
,
in
the
inmost
and
strongest
fort
it
had
,
and
had
it
in
her
clutches
,
to
bring
it
to
the
very
pit
.
One
maruelled
that
men
were
so
hardy
to
aduenture
to
Seas
:
why
?
Cùm
multi
pereant
in
aquis
,
sith
many
miscarried
in
the
waters
:
He
that
answered
him
,
maruelled
as
much
how
he
durst
goe
to
bed
,
sith
many
die
in
their
beds
.
Had
he
nothing
to
wonder
at
but
the
Sea
?
I
maruell
he
feared
not
his
owne
flesh
,
and
that
he
durst
trust
himselfe
with
his
owne
body
,
I
am
sure
,
it
is
as
fluide
as
the
Sea
.
Liquescimus
,
we
melt
,
we
thaw
daily
:
our
life
goeth
away
per
stillicidia
,
as
it
were
by
droppings
.
Omnes
nos
velut
aquae
dilabimur
,
we
all
glide
away
like
water
that
is
spilt
,
and
cannot
be
gathered
vp
againe
.
Here
he
shall
find
tempests
,
and
gusts
,
and
surges
,
and
waues
,
and
rockes
,
and
quick-sands
,
and
gulfes
,
and
sea-monsters
,
no
lesse
then
at
Sea
.
I
wonder
that
men
dare
liue
in
such
flesh
,
tam
putri
,
&
ruinosa
domo
,
so
rotten
and
ruinous
an
house
;
where
,
not
onely
the
gates
,
posternes
,
and
windowes
,
but
euery
little
creuis
and
chinke
letteth
in
death
:
Looke
how
many
members
and
parcels
of
the
body
,
so
many
vessels
of
sicknesses
,
receptacles
and
harbours
of
death
.
Euery
Apoplexie
in
the
head
;
Swelling
in
the
eare
;
Bleeding
at
the
nose
;
Canker
in
the
mouth
;
Squinancy
in
the
throat
;
Pleurisie
in
the
side
;
Stone
in
the
kidney
;
Cholicke
in
the
belly
;
may
be
a
meanes
to
death
.
I
maruell
againe
why
he
commeth
to
his
table
,
to
eate
and
drinke
there
,
why
?
Cum
multi
pereant
in
mensa
,
sith
many
die
at
their
Tables
:
Did
Tarquinius
Priscus
thinke
,
that
the
bone
of
a
fish
going
crosse
his
throte
,
should
haue
choked
him
?
or
Sophocles
,
and
Anacreon
,
that
they
should
haue
died
of
a
raysin
stone
?
or
Fabius
a
Senatour
,
that
an
haire
in
a
draught
of
milke
should
haue
bene
his
end
?
or
Ruffinus
the
Consull
,
that
in
kembing
his
head
,
the
tooth
of
his
Combe
entring
the
flesh
,
should
haue
bene
his
deaths
wound
?
or
Lucia
the
daughter
of
Aurelius
,
that
her
Childe
which
she
bare
in
her
armes
,
thrusting
a
needle
into
her
breast
,
should
haue
shortned
her
dayes
?
I
could
be
infinite
:
So
long
as
there
shall
be
a
man
in
the
world
,
&
mortalitie
,
casualtie
,
corruption
to
accompanie
that
man
;
there
shall
be
occasion
for
this
ecce
;
behold
in
my
peace
;
when
I
was
most
secure
:
to
the
stupor
,
and
terror
of
all
those
that
trust
too
much
to
their
peace
.
It
is
a
singular
part
of
the
gracious
prouidence
of
God
vpon
vs
,
to
hide
the
houre
of
our
deaths
;
as
Isaack
spake
to
his
sonne
,
Gen.
27.
Vides
quòd
senuerim
,
&
ignorem
diem
mortis
meae
:
Thou
seest
I
am
old
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
,
I
know
not
the
day
of
my
death
:
Semper
incognitus
,
vt
sit
semper
suspectus
;
that
being
alwayes
vnknowne
,
we
might
alwayes
haue
it
in
suspition
:
and
make
that
vse
of
our
ignorance
,
that
Cassian
aduiseth
,
Omnis
dies
,
velut
vltimus
ordinandus
est
;
to
dispose
of
euery
day
,
as
if
it
were
our
last
day
.
Certaine
it
is
,
Anacharsis
,
being
asked
,
which
was
the
best
ship
?
That
(
said
he
)
which
is
safely
arriued
.
Adde
vnto
these
the
rule
of
Saint
Angustine
,
Non
potest
malè
mori
,
qui
benè
vixerit
;
and
on
the
otherside
;
vix
benè
moritur
,
qui
malè
vixit
;
He
cannot
die
ill
,
that
hath
liued
well
;
and
scarcely
dieth
well
,
that
hath
liued
ill
.
These
things
conferred
;
be
ye
readie
prepared
for
that
day
;
Estote
parati
in
diem
tertium
;
that
it
may
find
you
in
pace
,
in
the
peace
of
God
,
and
of
a
good
conscience
,
which
passeth
all
vnderstanding
.
I
told
you
before
,
you
had
three
sicknesses
,
I
tell
you
now
,
you
haue
but
three
dayes
of
your
liues
:
the
one
of
your
coming
into
the
world
;
the
other
,
of
your
stay
;
the
last
of
your
going
out
.
Be
ready
against
the
third
day
,
the
day
of
your
going
forth
;
which
you
cannot
well
be
,
except
you
begin
to
prouide
on
the
first
,
and
the
second
;
lest
that
should
betide
you
which
is
bemoned
in
my
text
,
Ecce
,
in
pace
,
amaritudo
,
amaritudo
;
Behold
,
when
we
dreampt
of
peace
,
we
awaked
to
extremitie
of
bitternesse
:
and
being
taken
in
an
euill
time
,
you
complaine
,
as
in
that
mimesis
of
Saint
Chrysostome
,
Valete
amici
,
farewell
friends
,
I
must
go
an
vnknowne
iourney
,
by
wayes
vnknowne
,
into
Countries
farre
remote
:
Vbi
quale
diuersorium
habiturus
sum
,
angelorum
an
daemonum
,
ignoro
:
where
what
lodging
I
shall
find
,
amongst
Angels
,
or
Diuels
,
I
know
not
.
Et
tu
,
Elias
,
&
the
manna
I
spake
of
.
It
containeth
two
things
:
first
,
the
redemption
:
Eruisti
,
secondly
,
the
reason
or
motiue
,
Complexus
amore
.
The
recouery
so
much
the
sweeter
,
Transisse
de
morte
ad
vitam
,
death
to
life
is
double
life
:
So
is
the
light
more
gratefull
to
him
that
was
in
the
power
of
darknesse
;
and
assurance
,
to
him
that
despaired
of
assurance
.
There
was
danger
enough
in
the
former
clause
,
for
there
it
was
bitternesse
,
bitternesse
,
that
is
,
as
the
Apostle
calleth
it
,
Act.
8.
fel
amaritudinis
,
the
very
gall
of
bitternesse
:
which
importeth
a
disease
,
pessimi
generis
,
of
the
worst
sort
,
and
in
the
paroxysme
,
and
very
height
of
it
;
but
now
,
you
haue
it
amplified
by
three
circumstances
more
:
First
,
obiect
;
it
striketh
not
at
a
bough
,
no
defluxion
in
the
eye
,
nor
mutilation
of
an
hand
,
&c.
but
is
securis
ad
radicem
,
the
axe
laid
to
the
roote
,
to
hew
downe
life
it selfe
.
Eruisti
animam
.
Secondly
,
Thirdly
,
refrigerij
;
a
pit
of
repose
or
comfort
,
such
as
Elias
went
into
,
and
Dauid
,
&
the
Prophets
that
Obadiah
hid
,
&
the
Saints
that
the
world
was
not
worthy
of
,
Hebr.
11.
but
fouea
corruptionis
,
consumptionis
,
putredinis
,
a
pit
of
corruption
,
consumption
,
and
rottennesse
.
Take
it
altogether
in
the
masse
and
lumpe
,
and
see
what
it
is
,
(
besides
the
kind
of
the
sicknesse
,
which
is
not
here
mentioned
.
)
First
,
it
is
bitter
:
secondly
,
bitternesse
it selfe
:
thirdly
,
bitternes
,
put
to
bitternes
;
fourthly
,
against
life
;
fiftly
,
to
thrust
it
downe
to
the
pit
:
sixtly
,
the
pit
of
corruption
:
this
being
his
case
,
and
then
,
to
be
pulled
out
of
the
teeth
of
death
,
as
Dauid
pulled
his
lambe
and
his
kid
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
Lyon
and
Beare
,
was
the
singular
mercy
of
God
,
worthy
another
Ecce
,
as
at
the
first
I
declared
.
Is
it
not
mercy
,
(
I
aske
,
)
to
be
saued
from
death
?
Death
,
whensoeuer
it
shall
come
vnto
vs
,
and
howsoeuer
qualified
,
the
grimnesse
of
her
visage
disguised
,
yet
will
it
be
fearefull
enough
.
It
is
dissolutio
naturae
,
the
dissolution
of
nature
,
and
the
dissociation
of
body
and
soule
,
ancient
friends
,
and
of
long
acquaintance
:
Dauid
and
Ionathan
wept
,
and
kist
when
they
departed
.
When
Vzza
was
smitten
dead
for
putting
his
hand
to
the
Arke
,
2.
Sam.
6.
Dauid
was
(
angrie
,
shall
I
say
?
)
troubled
,
grieued
at
it
,
and
called
the
name
of
the
place
,
rupturam
vzzae
,
the
breach
of
Vzzah
.
I
am
sure
,
when
body
and
soule
are
sundred
,
there
is
ruptura
,
and
cannot
be
without
commotion
,
&
passion
,
Si
nulla
esset
mortis
amaritudo
,
non
tanta
esset
martyrum
fortitudo
;
if
death
were
not
bitter
,
Martyrs
should
want
of
their
honour
.
But
what
may
the
motiue
be
that
procured
this
deliuerie
?

my

I

not
a

amongst

all
.
Giue

to

If
you
looke
on
the
part
of
man
which
is

no

can
be
giuen
of

of

on

part

there
is

one
,
for

,

of

Before
I
forsake
this
part
,
Hezekiah
:
for
anima
,
in
my
text
,
is
not
the
substance
,
or
essentiall
part
,
(
as
principally
it
signifieth
,
)
but
an
act
and
effect
of
that
soule
,
to
weet
,
that
life
,
which
it
brought
to
the
bodie
in
dowre
,
and
portion
when
she
married
with
it
:
and
when
she
departeth
from
her
bodie
,
she
resumeth
,
and
carrieth
away
with
her
that
portion
againe
.
So
that

the
Soule
it selfe
,
is
no

subiect
to
the

Occidisti

So
saith

Hast

the

onely

not

It

I

What

A

A
Graue
for

A
Graue

A

he

nothing

When

out

,
what
brought

out

I

and

and

when

Do

with

and
the
Tables
of

;
and
therein
,
as
I
told
you
at
the
first
,
are
likewise
two
things
:
First
,
the
cause
of
his
bitternes
,
sinnes
;
Secondly
,
the
discharge
of
that
cause
,
For
thou
hast
cast
,
&c.
I
haue
bene
lately
vpon
both
these
points
,
Sinne
,
the
sicknesse
of
the
soule
,
is
the
reall
and
radicall
cause
of
all
bodily
sicknesse
.
I
alledge
but
one
storie
,
from
the
1.
Reg.
17.
The
widow
of
Zareptha
cometh
to
Elias
,
(
her
sonne
being
then
dead
)
and
saith
vnto
him
:
What
haue
I
to
do
with
thee
,
thou
man
of
God
?
art
thou
come
vnto
me
to
call
my
sinnes
to
remembrance
?
She
was
an
excellent
woman
,
and
her
praise
is
in
the
Gospell
:
when
she
had
but
a
little
meale
,
&
a
little
oyle
in
a
cruise
,
and
was
gathering
two
stickes
,
to
make
a
widowes
fire
,
and
to
dresse
for
her
sonne
and
her
,
that
they
might
eate
and
die
;
yet
vpon
the
bidding
of
the
Prophet
,
bring
vnto
me
,
and
first
vnto
me
,
such
was
her
faith
,
that
she
did
it
:
yet
she
imputeth
the
sicknesse
and
death
of
her
child
,
to
her
sins
.
Vespasian
was
of
another
minde
;
being
sicke
,
and
out
of
hope
to
liue
,
he
threw
the
curtaines
aside
,
and
spread
his
hands
vnto
heauen
,
and
complained
of
his
gods
,
immerenti
sibi
vitam
eripi
,
that
he
deserued
not
to
die
;
had
neuer
committed
any
thing
in
his
whole
life
,
whereof
he
repented
,
but
one
;
he
had
so
much
the
more
cause
to
repent
him
.
I
hope
,
when
Hezekiah
prayeth
at
the
third
verse
,
O
Lord
,
I
beseech
thee
,
remember
how
I
haue
walked
before
thee
in
truth
,
and
with
a
perfect
heart
,
&c.
He
speaketh
but
secundum
quid
,
not
simply
;
and
comparatè
,
compared
with
others
,
importing
affectum
,
and
profectum
,
rather
desire
,
and
endeuour
so
to
do
,
then
any
perfection
;
and
that
he
had
no
meaning
,
to
thinke
that
he
had
no
sinne
;
for
it
plainly
appeareth
in
his
owne
speech
,
by
the
reason
he
giueth
,
that
he
thought
sinne
to
be
the
cause
of
his
sicknesse
.
Eruisti
,
quia
proiecisti
,
first
he
remitteth
his
sinnes
;
(
which
was
the
course
of
our
Sauiour
in
the
Gospell
)
and
then
releeueth
him
of
his
sicknesse
.
But
when
I
looke
vpon
the
cure
,
the
remoue
of
the
cause
,
I
cannot
but
remember
what
God
spake
vnto
Abraham
,
Gen.
15.
Ego
merces
tua
magna
nimis
,
I
am
thine
exceeding
great
reward
:
what
,
vnto
Dauid
,
2.
Sam.
12.
I
haue
done
this
,
and
that
for
thee
;
&
si
parua
sunt
ista
,
and
if
these
things
were
too
small
,
I
would
haue
added
much
more
.
Iust
as
the
Apostle
writeth
,
Ephes.
3.
abundantly
much
more
than
we
either
aske
or
thinke
.
For
did
Hezekiah
craue
the
remission
of
his
sinnes
?
In
his
whole
song
there
is
not
a
word
,
a
syllable
of
it
:
You
haue
heard
of
his
truth
and
righteousnesse
,
and
perfect
heart
,
no
mention
of
sinne
:
and
all
his
petition
,
and
moane
,
and
teares
that
he
spent
,
was
for
his
life
alone
.
God
granteth
him
that
,
&
aliquid
ampliùs
,
and
somewhat
more
,
&
aliquid
melius
,
something
better
;
for
admit
he
had
died
,
yet
had
his
case
bene
good
enough
;
Mori
non
timeo
,
quia
ad
bonum
Dominum
vado
,
I
feare
not
to
die
,
because
I
go
to
a
good
Lord
.
But
if
I
die
in
my
sinne
,
if
that
circumstans
peccatum
,
Hebr.
12.
cleaue
to
my
soule
at
my
going
hence
,
it
will
be
as
mill-stones
vnto
it
,
to
plunge
it
into
the
bottomlesse
pit
of
eternall
destruction
:
therefore
besides
,
and
before
the
cure
of
his
sicknesse
,
he
pardoneth
his
sinnes
.
Wherein
he
dealeth
with
Hezekiah
,
as
he
did
with
Moses
,
Num.
17.
when
he
bad
him
bring
twelue
rods
for
the
twelue
Tribes
,
and
lay
them
in
the
Tabernacle
before
the
testimonie
;
and
the
rod
for
that
Tribe
which
the
Lord
would
chuse
,
should
bud
.
When
Moses
came
to
reuiew
the
rods
,
the
rod
of
Aaron
had
not
onely
budded
,
that
is
,
chipt
,
or
broken
the
rinde
;
but
the
buds
were
swolne
,
and
fully
brought
forth
,
and
after
buds
,
blossomes
and
flowers
,
and
after
these
,
ripe
Almonds
.
So
befell
it
Hezekiah
;
so
shall
it
all
the
elect
of
God
,
who
know
no
more
what
to
aske
,
then
Hezekiah
did
;
he
thought
of
no
more
,
but
the
bud
of
his
bodily
health
;
but
he
giueth
him
withall
,
the
ripest
,
and
sweetest
fruit
of
all
others
,
forgiuenesse
of
his
sinnes
:
and
(
me
thinketh
)
he
fulfilleth
all
the
degrees
of
that
former
storie
;
for
,
let
the
pardon
of
sinne
,
be
germen
,
the
bud
;
and
the
pardon
of
all
his
sinnes
,
be
gemma
,
the
knot
or
swelling
bud
;
flos
,
the
blossome
;
but
the
casting
them
behinde
his
backe
,
as
if
he
were
angry
that
they
prest
before
his
face
,
is
amygdala
,
the
fruit
,
more
then
all
the
rest
.
He
that
will
purge
the
body
,
leaueth
no
dregs
of
the
sicknesse
,
for
feare
of
relapse
:
so
is
the
pardon
of
God
,
a
plenary
pardon
of
all
his
sins
:
and
whereas
before
they
were
vnder
those
pure
eyes
that
cannot
behold
wickednesse
,
now
they
are
set
behinde
his
backe
,
that
he
may
not
behold
them
:
and
not
onely
set
,
or
left
,
(
for
then
,
Clamabunt
post
nos
;
they
will
follow
God
againe
)
but
throwne
,
as
stones
from
a
sling
,
and
,
with
violence
offered
to
his
iustice
,
banished
in
such
sort
,
as
that
they
may
neuer
returne

these
things
were
spoken
in
an
allegorie
,
sure
I
am
they
were
spoken
propter
aliud
,
for
another
purpose
,
not
for
Hezekiah's
sake
.
But
as
Ezekiel
(
Ezech.
4.
)
lieth
and
sleepeth
vpon
his
left
and
right
side
,
and
maketh
him
bread
of
moulter
corne
,
and
baketh
it
in
bullockes
dung
,
&c.
to
shew
the
siege
and
famine
to
come
:
So
haue
I
chosen
this
storie
of
Hezekiah
,
to
be
but
a
modell
and
patterne
of
those
things
which
hapned
to
our
gracious
KING

Hezekiah
our
King

high
places
no
more
then
Hezekiah
did
,
I
meane
the
throne
of
Antichrist
himselfe

not
that
brasen
Serpent
,
pearched
vpon
his
pole
of
supremacie
aboue
all
the
Kings
of
the
earth
,
and
the
whole
Church
of
God
:
And
as
famous
to
the
world
,
(
he
will
be
in
succeeding
ages
)
for
his
miraculous
deliuerance
from
that
generall
gunpowder-massacre
,
as
euer
Hezekiah
was
for
his
miraculous
deliuerance
from
Zenacherib
the
King
of
Assur
;
in
a
night
,
was
that
host
discomfited
,
and
in
a
night
,
the
labours
and
hopes
of
many
moneths
defeated
:
I
am
sure
,
as
renowned
as
euer
Hezekiah
was
,
propter
scripturam
,
for
his
bookes
written
and
published
to
the
world
,
in
defence
of
the
Gospell

Where

Hezekiah

I

the

I

God
had
mercy
vpon
him
,
and
not
vpon
him
alone

but
also
vpon
vs

the
whole

,
lest
we
should
haue
sorrow
vpon
sorrow
;
sorrow

(
like
the

as
his

pluckt
from

the

his

torne
from
him
;
and
sorrow
for
the
losse
of
himselfe
.
I
am
yet
in
the
sicknesse
.
It
was
bitternesse

bitternesse

will

Psalme
21.
But
of
all
other
things
you
will
aske
the
meanes
how
he
was
deliuered
.
Our
father
,
our
father
,
the
Chariots
and
horsemen
of
Israel
,
is
going
from
vs
,
O
Lord
spare
him
.
Ariston
was
a
good
King
,
but
wanted
Issue
:
and
the
people
desirous
to
haue
one
of
his
race
to
gouerne
after
him
,
begged
him
Issue
of
their
gods
.
That
sonne
so
obtained
they
named
Demaratus
,
Demaratus
,
begged
by
his
people
at
the
hands
of
God
;
or
rather
(
according
to
his
owne
name
)
that
our
Iacob
was
another
Israel
,
and
that
he
and
his
people
wrestled
with
God
by
their
earnest
supplications
,
to
gaine
a
blessing
of
health
from
him
:
and
although
,
as
to
Israel
,
a
sinew
of
his
thigh
be
yet
shrunke
,
is
the
helpe
of
man
,
our
helpe
must
stand
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
which
hath
made
heauen
and
earth
,
or
we
shall
neuer
be
holpen
;
therefore
the
prime
,
predominant
,
and
supreme
cause
,
that
our
King
was
deliuered
,
was
the
same
that
Hezekiah
found
,
Placuit
tibi
,
dilexisti
,
&c.
the
good
pleasure
and
loue
of
God
.
Now
the
good
will
of
him
that
dwelt
in
the
bush
,
euer
dwell
with
our
King
,
and
marrie
him
vnto
him
with
euerlasting
mercy
and
compassion
.
The
couenant
of
day
and
night
be
broken
,
but
the
couenant
of
his
peace
with
our
King
and
his
kingdomes
be
neuer
broken
.
Fathers
forget
their
sonnes
,
and
nurses
their
sucking
babes
,
and
mothers
the
fruite
of
their

.
The
Lord
neuer
forget
our
King
,
nor
his
seed
after
him
,
nor
the
people
committed
to
their
charge
.
By
this
time
you
may
ghesse
at
the
reason
of
our
meeting
(
so
many
thousand
of
soules
together
in
one
place
:
)
though
not
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
I
grant
,
yet
in
the
courts
of
the
Lords
house
,
euen
in
the
midst
of
thee
ô
Ierusalem
,
in
the
fairest
and
fittest
theatre
we
haue
for
such
purposes
,
to
make
it
like
Araunah

threshing
floore
,
a
place
for
an
altar
of
our
thankfulnesse
,
whereon
we
are
to
offer
the
Calues
of
our
lips
;
our
reasonable
seruice
;
an
Eucharisticall
sacrifice
for
the
life
of
our
King
,
whom
God
hath
so
lately
rescued
from
the
fangs
and
throte
of
destruction
:
Flebunt

they
ran
into
their
Capitoll
,
men
,
women
and

,
and
rent
open
the
doores
thereof

and
offered
their

filled
the
whole

the
noise
of
their

,
saluus

,
the
City

safe

the

So
come
we
into
this
our
Capitoll
,
our
greatest
Panegyris
,
inured
with
the
like
meetings
,
(
hither

So
we
in

to
our
King
,
though
we
giue
not
titles
to

,
and
honour
the
Physician

with
that
honour
that
is
due
vnto
him

ioyning
our

together

as
if
we
were
all
but
one
man

we
set
vp
our
Statue
,
and
(
if
it
be
possible
)
raise
our
Colossus
of
thankfulnesse
,
that
may
reach
vp
to
the
heauen
of
heauens
,
vnto
that
great
God
that
hath
created
the
Physician
,
and
taught
him
his
wisdom
,
and
made
the
medicines
of
the
earth
to
take
away
the
paines
of

Nescis
quid
serus
vesper
ferat
:
we
are
not
yet
come
to
the
euening
of
the
yeare
;
we
haue
had
rumors
of
warres
and
commotions
,
and
Earth-quakes
;
one
the
most
prodigious
birth
that
these
latter
ages
of
the
world
haue
brought
forth
;
and
a
signe
from
heauen
that
dazeled
our
eyes
,
and
might
haue
daunted
our
hearts
,
but
slighted
in
such
sort
,
as
if
we
had
seene
but
the
shining
of
a
Glow-worme
:
I
feare
not
the
euents
,
what
hath
bene
,
nor
the
portents
,
what
may
be
;
I
feare
our
portentuous
and
prodigious
sinnes
,
which
are
as
significant
and
prognosticant
of
the
wrath
of
God
,
as
any
of
these
wonders
.
We
haue
yet
our
King
,
Serus
in
coelum
redeat
,
long
and
long
may
we
haue
him
:
who
may
say
vpon
better
ground
then
euer
Nerua
did
,
ouerflow
.
But
may
I
without
piacle
forget
in
the
very
last
scaene
of
one
of
his
latest
actions
amongst
vs
before
his
departure
hence
,
(
which
might
haue
bene
his
last
,
if
God
had
not
fauoured
vs
)
what
he
then
did
?
I
say
not
that
he
rose
early
,
and
sate
long
in
a
Court
of
honour
and
iustice
,
(
yet
giue
me
a
King
vpon
the
earth
,
that
euer
with
so
much
sollicitude
and
zeale
,
spent
so
many
dayes
,
and
so
many
houres
in
a
day
in
the
hearing
and
examining
of
one
cause
.
Of
one
of
their
Lewesses
in
France
,
they
write
,
that
he
sate
in
a
Cloyster
from
morning
to
euening
,
and
lost
his
dinner
to
heare
the
quarrels
of
his
Monks
,
)
of
this
I
speake
not
;
nor
that
he
added
in
the
close
of
his
businesse
,
that
he
would
make
it
his
studie
night
and
day
,
and
neither
slumber
nor
sleepe
till
he
had
brought
to
light
the
Non
constats
,
as
he
tearmed
them
,
which
were
not
so
liquid
and
cleare
as
the
rest
:
I
meane
of
a
speech
of
his
during
the
time
that
that
cause
was
in
hearing
,
(
I
report
it
in
the
presence
of
many
and
matchlesse
witnesses
)
when
taking
his
hat
from
his
head
,
that
he
might
do
it
not
without
ceremonie
,
remembring
that
tribunall
seate
whereat
he
must
one
day
stand
,
turning
to
his
sonne
who
sate
by
his
side
,
and
out
of
regard
to
him
,
that
it
might
not
be
said
hereafter
,
he
had
bene
the
child
of
an
ignoble
parent
;
whatsoeuer
his
other
sinnes
were
,
wherewith
he
confessed
he
was
fraught
as
the
vilest
caytiffe
vpon
earth
,
yet
for
doing
of
iustice
,
his
minde
and
purpose
therein
,
(
pardon
the
zeale
and
exuberancie
of
the
speech
)
he
needed
not
the
mercie
of
God
.

I

as
Zenacherib
told
Hezekiah
,
Thou

thou
hast

counsell

are
for

We
haue
a
King
for
counsell
,
and
a
Prince
(
if
God
blesse
him
)
for
strength
,
a
King
to
instruct
,
and
a
Prince
to
execute
:
Onely
beware
of
your
sins
,
peccata

,
the
sinnes
of
the
Land
;
breake
them
off
with
repentance
,
lament
them
betimes
,
that
they
make
not
you
to
lament
,
when
it
is
too
late
:
when
the
lamentation
shall
be
,
not
of
priuate
soules
,
but
like
that
of
Hadadrimmon
in
the
fields
of

going

Wee
came
to
reioyce

of

King
,

in
the
name
of
our
God
to
set
vp
our
banners
of

,
as
in

Psal.
and
we
pray
for
our
King
,
as
that
people
did
for
theirs
,
in
the
words
of
the
same
Psalme
,
that
God
will
continue
his
blessing
,
and
perfect
that
good
worke
which
he
hath
begun
vppon
him
.
The
Lord
heare
thee
in
the
day
of
thy
trouble
,
the
name
of
the
God
of
Iacob
defend
thee
.
Send
thee
helpe
from
his
Sanctuarie
,
and
strengthen
thee
out
of
Sion
.
Remember
all
thy
offerings
,
and
accept
thy
burnt
sacrifices
.
Grant
thee
according
to
thy

desire
,
and
fulfill
all
thy
petitions

AMEN
