The
Tryall
of
Trueth
.
THree
thinges
vndid
the
Romans
raigne
viz.
Young
heades
,
Priuate
grudge
,
and
Priuate
gaine
,
as
the
principall
causes
of
the
destruction
of
that
great
Empire
.
And
I
doe
greatly
lament
it
,
whilest
I
do
behold
so
great
euils
in
this
our
age
,
raging
among
the
people
euery
where
,
in
such
lamentable
maner
,
that
what
true
Christian
liuing
is
there
not
touched
with
the
due
consideration
of
the
deformitte
of
the
people
:
but
that
if
hee
had
not
a
flood
of
teares
,
hee
coulde
doe
no
lesse
then
shed
them
foorth
in
the
beholding
such
dayly
prouoking
and
irritating
of
God
too
his
heauie
wrath
,
for
theyr
so
grecuous
disobedience
,
and
concempt
,
committed
against
him
and
his
worde
.
As
the
Prophet
Ieremie
was
mooued
and
sore
greued
with
the
beholding
of
the
sinnes
and
wickednes
of
the
people
committed
against
God
in
that
former
age
,
insomuche
as
he
brake
foorth
into
these
speaches
,
All
my
b●nes
shake
for
very
feare
of
the
Lorde
,
〈…〉
woorde
,
because
Wherefore
it
behooueth
to
rowse
our selues
our
of
the
drowsy
sleepe
of
security
and
to
crie
with
this
good
Prophet
,
Turne
thou
vs
good
Lord
,
so
shall
wee
be
turned
,
Conuert
thou
vs
,
and
so
shall
wee
be
conuerted
,
and
so
become
carefull
〈◊〉
appease
Gods
high
displeasure
,
wh●●e
〈◊〉
his
Omnipotencie
doth
forbeare
in
his
mercy
,
from
proceeding
to
iustice
looking
for
a
time
of
repentance
and
amendemente
of
all
suche
as
seeme
to
be
plunged
in
sin
and
wickednesse
,
and
so
fa●●e
from
true
returning
to
God
;
as
it
appereth
that
there
are
many
suche
,
who
neyther
doe
respecte
theyr
owne
harmes
,
nor
yet
doe
regarde
the
plagues
threatned
generally
for
sinne
,
which
may
happen
vnloked for
,
at
what
time
the
wicked
and
disobedient
may
not
haue
time
to
say
,
That
the
Lord
is
God
,
which
no
man
can
doe
,
but
by
the
holy
Ghoste
.
In
the
meane
time
it
is
to
be
noted
how
many
people
,
doe
measure
their
vnruly
affections
by
the
libertie
of
the
time
,
saying
,
the
day
of
the
Lorde
is
farre
from
vs
.
Vnto
,
suche
stiffnerked
people
,
the
Prophet
Ezechicll
writeth
Tush
the
day
of
the
Lordes
far
of
,
but
that
bywoorde
I
shall
make
to
ceasse
,
sayth
the
Lorde
.
And
yet
euer●
man
prosecuteth
his
owne
wayes
,
and
corrupt
affectious
,
discouering
their
owne
sham●
〈◊〉
hasting
theyr
owne
destruction
,
whichis
much
to
be
feared
,
wyllas
hastily
fall
,
vnlesse
that
the
more
speedye
haste
.
bee
made
in
returning
to
God
from
all
such
wickednesse
,
as
doeth
not
onely
infect
the
bodies
,
but
also
doeth
distemper
the
soules
of
men
.
The
due
consideration
whereof
hath
mooued
many
godly
persons
to
desire
to
be
loosed
out
of
the
body
of
this
life
,
for
that
they
haue
founde
the
same
the
stage
of
all
sorowe
,
care
and
calamitie
,
for
assoone
as
one
misery
and
trouble
is
passed
,
an
other
commeth
by
&
by
in
place
,
and
yet
the
first
during
to
the
dismaying
of
the
afflicted
,
albeit
such
is
the
way
that
leadeth
vnto
Christ
,
to
eate
the
bread
and
drinke
the
drinke
of
affliction
.
But
suche
doctrine
may
hardly
bee
indured
of
the
worldlye
minded
:
for
mans
repugnancie
hath
alwayes
been
such
,
as
neither
gods
lawes
nor
publique
authoritie
,
coulde
euer
keep
the
people
in
their
due
obedience
:
for
the
maintenance
,
and
fensing
in
of
Christian
amitie
,
as
the
very
boundes
of
peace
.
Insomuche
as
it
is
nowe
a
common
speach
,
that
the
world
is
bad
,
which
may
not
bee
denied
,
and
it
followeth
that
the
people
are
much
worse
,
for
it
is
true
that
the
worlde
is
the
people
.
In
whose
conuersation
if
there
might
appeare
amendement
,
the
worlde
that
now
somuch
is
complained
of
,
would
soone
be
better
.
So
as
the
liues
of
the
people
might
bee
framed
thereunto
accordingly
:
as
nowe
in
time
to
winde
vp
the
banners
that
solong
haue
bin
displaied
against
God
and
his
woorde
,
seeing
that
his
Omnipotency
is
content
through
his
mercy
styll
to
offer
peace
:
which
while
wee
doe
seeme
to
contemne
and
set
light
by
,
God
is
prouoked
to
high
displeasure
,
(
and
the
people
in
a
lamentable
case
)
where
their
frowardnesse
is
suche
,
as
they
doe
rather
choose
to
be
obscured
in
darknes
,
then
to
walke
in
the
brightnesse
of
the
light
.
In
the
consideration
whereof
,
it
will
in
this
small
treatise
appeare
in
what
deformity
and
frowarde
wayes
,
the
most
parte
of
the
people
in
this
age
doe
walke
in
.
What
returning
God
respecteth
,
what
punishmente
is
threatned
for
sinne
,
and
with
what
louing
kindnesse
God
requireth
obedience
vnto
him
,
and
his
woord
,
extending
his
bountifull
mercies
vnto
al
those
that
in
time
will
returne
vnto
him
by
amendment
of
life
,
and
so
to
be
made
partakers
of
the
benesites
which
hee
so
gratiously
affereth
:
notwithstanding
,
the
pride
of
man
is
suche
,
as
that
many
can
not
abyde
too
haue
their
eares
rubbed
with
such
a
medicine
,
but
that
if
the
quicke
be
once
touched
,
all
the
body
will
foorthwith
be
out
of
frame
,
whereby
GOD
is
mooued
to
displeasure
,
as
it
is
euident
by
the
sequell
.
And
now
I
wyll
come
to
the
first
tryal
.
¶
Against
the
vaine
pridings
of
men
and
women
.
IN
howe
outragious
deformitie
pride
is
grown
vnto
,
it
plainly
appereth
by
the
strange
behauiors
of
the
people
in
this
our
age
.
Insomuch
as
many
young
men
are
become
effeminate
in
respect
of
manhood
:
and
the
shamefastnesse
which
ought
to
be
founde
in
young
women
,
is
in
many
become
manly
,
in
respect
of
womanhood
:
insomuch
as
many
yeeres
past
,
who
so
had
bin
seene
in
such
strange
attyre
and
apparrell
,
as
nowe
is
worne
by
many
young
men
and
women
,
were
iudged
to
be
of
a
light
conuersation
in
liuing
:
but
now
there
are
many
both
men
and
women
growne
so
far
out
of
square
,
and
are
become
so
heauy
in
sin
and
wickednesse
,
as
it
is
much
to
be
feared
that
when
such
shall
come
to
be
tryed
in
the
ballaunce
of
good
and
euill
,
there
wyll
too
many
be
founde
much
too
light
and
the
money
which
by
many
one
so
wastefully
is
consumed
might
be
better
imployed
,
then
so
to
abuse
it
to
theyr
own
harmes
.
Who
ought
not
to
be
ignorant
,
that
it
hath
byn
an
Adage
in
Englande
That
pride
wyll
haue
a
fal
?
which
is
to
be
feared
may
be
so
great
,
as
much
sorow
may
not
counteruaile
the
woe
,
with
may
happen
thorow
so
great
euils
,
as
god
forbid
:
for
it
cannot
be
denied
,
but
that
pride
was
the
beginning
of
sin
,
for
pride
in
the
beginning
of
thinges
did
stir
the
creature
against
the
Creator
that
fourmed
and
made
him
,
The
Angell
against
God
:
but
God
threw
him
downe
from
heauen
:
because
he
continued
not
in
the
trueth
,
he
was
first
throwne
from
the
state
of
innocency
into
sin
,
&
from
sin
into
misery
:
And
he
is
nowe
become
the
king
of
the
children
of
pride
,
insomuche
as
the
Prophet
Esay
sayth
thus
much
of
his
fall
,
O
Lucifer
which
diddestrise
in
the
morning
,
thou
which
diddest
wounde
all
nations
,
art
now
fallen
into
the
earth
.
Whose
disciples
many
one
doe
seeme
to
haue
chosen
to
bee
,
not
onely
manifested
by
apparrell
but
also
in
summe
theyr
speaches
many
doe
declare
of
what
religion
they
are
of
,
when
as
in
their
daliaunce
and
pleadinges
of
loue
matters
,
they
seeme
to
honor
the
Saint
whom
they
professe
to
shew
.
In
such
a
lamentable
sence
,
as
God
often
times
is
much
thereby
dishonoured
:
and
in
such
wyse
as
husbands
raunging
from
their
wiues
,
wiues
from
their
husbands
,
maidens
vnshamefast
,
and
young
men
shamelesse
.
For
pride
is
alwayes
desirous
of
new
things
,
and
the
things
with
any
long
time
haue
beene
accustomed
,
that
they
account
wecrinesse
,
as
to
ocupie
themselues
in
any
Godly
exercises
.
But
this
doctrine
is
so
vngreeable
vnto
the
children
of
pride
,
as
it
seemeth
the
most
parte
of
the
people
haue
so
framed
theyr
faces
to
looke
God
in
the
face
moste
impudently
feeding
theyr
ownelicentious
appetites
with
all
newe fangled
fantasies
,
in
making
the
Sabboth
day
prophane
,
and
agreeable
to
their
own
lustes
and
liking
,
with
vigilant
eyes
,
and
attentiue
eares
,
to
vnderstande
where
and
newe
deuised
folly
or
tidings
is
to
be
learned
,
when
as
there
can
be
no
better
tidings
to
reioyce
in
,
then
the
glad
tidinges
of
the
Gospel
.
To
the
hearing
wherof
many
doe
require
discipline
,
to
the
ende
too
bring
them
into
a
better
compasse
of
obedience
,
whereas
to
spende
theyr
time
in
vaine
delightes
,
there
shall
neede
no
such
strickt
order
to
mooue
them
therunto
,
as
daily
experience
teacheth
.
God
graunt
all
suche
a
more
consideration
of
themselues
,
and
a
perfiter
iudgement
of
suche
examples
,
as
are
left
vnto
vs
by
the
saered
woorde
of
God
againste
pride
,
and
all
other
froward
and
wicked
wayes
.
Whereunto
ignoraunce
may
not
bee
pleaded
,
for
that
wyll
not
serue
our
turnes
to
excuse
vs
in
the
day
of
the
Lordes
visitation
,
as
the
examples
are
many
,
wherein
it
appeareth
howe
much
God
hath
beene
from
the
beginnig
offended
by
pride
,
Pride
ouerthrewe
the
Tower
of
Babylon
,
Pride
hanged
vpp
Haman
,
Pride
was
the
destruction
of
Antiochus
,
Pride
murdered
Zenacherib
,
Esay
,
The
day
of
the
Lorde
of
Hastes
shall
came
vpon
euery
proude
The
Lorde
hath
determined
this
to
out
of
the
pride
of
the
insolent
.
As
it
is
written
by
S.
Luke
,
that
the
riche
man
that
was
clothed
in
purple
and
silk
,
was
buried
in
Hell
.
Dina
the
daughter
of
Iacob
,
Sichem
,
and
his
father
Hemor
the
king
with
all
the
Male
in
his
Citie
Salem
,
and
spoyled
the
same
.
As
the
examples
of
such
are
sundry
,
who
for
theyr
Susanna
.
Wherefore
let
neuer
pride
haue
rule
in
thine
heart
,
for
in
pride
began
al
destruction
.
Woe
be
vnto
the
proud
wealthy
in
Sion
,
to
such
as
thinke
themselues
sure
vpon
Samaria
,
which
hold
themselues
for
the
best
of
the
worlde
,
and
rule
the
house
of
Israel
,
euen
as
they
list
.
Behold
,
is
the
borders
of
the
Philistines
wyder
then
yours
:
Yee
are
taken
out
for
the
euill
day
,
euen
that
sit
in
the
schole
of
wilfulnesse
,
yee
that
light
vpon
the
beds
of
Iuory
,
and
vse
your
wantonnesse
vppon
your
Cowches
,
Yee
that
eate
the
best
Lambe
of
the
Folde
,
and
the
fattest
Calues
of
the
Droues
,
yee
that
sing
too

Lute
and
playing
to
the
Instrumentes
compare
your selues
to
Dauid
,
Yee
that
drinke

of
Goblettes
,
and
annointe
your selues
with
the
beste
Oyle
,
but
no
man
is
sorye
for
Iosephes
hurte
.
And
in
the
Prophet
Esay
it
is
written
this
Ierusalem
and
Iuda
must
decay
,
Moreouer
thus
saith
the
Lord
,
seeing
the
daughters
of
Sion
are
become
so
proude
,
and
haue
walked
with
stretched
out
neckes
,
and
with
vaine
wanton
eyes
,
seeing
they
come
in
so
nicely
tripping
with
theyr
feete
:
Therefore
shall
the
Lord
shaue
the
heades
of
the
daughters
of
Sion
,
and
the
Lorde
shall
discouer
their
shame
.
In
that
day
shall
the
Lord
take
away
the
gorgeousnes
of
their
apparrell
,
&
Spanges
,
Chaines
,
Partlettes
and
Collers
,
Bracelets
&
hoopes
of
Golde
,
the
goodly
flowred
,
wyde
and
broyded
raiment
,
Ouches
and
Head
bandes
,
Holy
day
clothes
,
and
Vales
,
Glasses
and
Scarfes
,
and
insteede
of
good
smelling
there
shal
be
stink
among
them
:
And
for
theyr
Gyrdles
there
shal
be
loose
bands
,
&
for
wel
set
beare
,
shal
be
baldnesse
,
and
in
steede
of
a
stomachet
,
a
Sackcloth
,
and
for
theyr
beautie
,
wither
nesse
and
Sun
burning
:
your
husbandes
and
mightie
men
shall
perishe
with
the
Swoorde
in
battaile
.
At
that
time
shall
theyr
Gates
mourne
&
complaine
,
and
they
shall
sit
as
desolate
folke
vppon
the
earth
.
And
vnto
men
the
same
Prophet
in
his
2.
Chapter
writeth
thus
,
And
therefore
get
thee
in
some
Rocke
,
&
hide
thee
in
the
grounde
for
feare
of
the
Lord
,
and
for
the
glory
of
his
maiestie
,
which
casteth
downe
the
high
lookes
of
the
presumptuous
persons
,
&
bringeth
low
the
pride
of
man
.
And
the
Lord
onely
shal
be
exalted
in
that
day
,
for
the
day
of
the
lord
of
Hosts
shal
go
ouer
all
pride
,
and
laye
mans
presumption
full
lowe
,
vpon
al
them
that
exalte
them selues
,
and
shall
bryng
them
all
downe
,
both
costly
Towres
and
strong
walles
:
and
vpon
all
Shippes
of
the
Sea
,
and
vpon
all
things
that
is
glorious
and
pleasant
to
looke
vpon
.
Then
shall
man
cast
away
his
goddes
of
siluer
and
his
goddes
of
gold
,
which
he
neuerthelesse
had
made
to
honour
them
.
And
they
shall
creepe
intoo
the
Caues
and
rocks
,
and
into
the
cliftes
of
hard
stones
for
feare
of
God
,
and
for
the
glory
of
his
Maiestie
,
when
hee
ariseth
to
condemne
the
earth
.
Feare
yee
not
then
any
man
whose
breath
is
in
his
nosethrilles
,
for
what
is
he
of
reputation
:
Wherefore
,
saith
Samuel
,
Talke
not
In
the
Prophet
Esdras
it
is
also
written
,
And
the
Prophet
Sophony
saith
,
Be
Howe
much
good
men
haue
beene
offended
by
the
beholding
of
pride
,
appeareth
,
that
in
the
time
as
it
were
of
ignoraunce
,
in
comparison
of
these
wherin
Christe
is
so
professed
in
woordes
and
more
contraryed
in
deedes
.
It
is
sayde
of
Aristotle
that
on
a
time
he
seeing
a
young
man
proude
,
who
was
indued
neither
with
learning
nor
vertue
:
wherevpon
the
said
philosopher
vsed
this
maner
of
reprouing
,
I
would
my self
be
no
better
than
thou
thinkst
thou
art
,
nor
my
foes
to
be
no
worse
then
thou
art
indeede
.
Also
it
is
written
of
one
Pambo
,
that
when
he
behelde
a
woman
proude
and
very
costly
apparrelled
,
and
attired
in
straunge
fashion
,
hee
wept
and
sobbed
:
and
being
demaunded
the
cause
thereof
,
he
answered
,
that
there
were
two
things
that
mooued
him
so
to
doe
,
in
beholding
of
the
woman
:
The
one
,
to
see
the
woman
so
cast
away
,
The
other
,
for
that
I
that
beare
the
name
of
a
Christian
,
doe
not
so
indeuour
with
innocency
of
life
too
please
God
,
as
this
woman
doeth
with
her
gay
attyre
to
please
wicked
&
naughtie
persons
.
What
examples
haue
beene
in
former
ages
,
of
Gods
disliking
of
strangenesse
of
apparrell
,
It
is
noted
in
our
Chronicles
,
that
in
Oxfordshyre
,
neare
vnto
a
Town
called
Chipping
Norton
.
there
was
founde
a
Serpence
hauing
two
heades
and
two
faces
,
one
face
was
attyred
after
the
new
fashion
of
womens
attyre
:
the
other
face
like
the
olde
array
of
women
,
and
had
winges
like
a
Backe
or
Flindermouse
,
wything
that
such
examples
shoulde
not
be
lightly
set
by
:
for
that
the
same
God
which
was
then
offended
by
suche
abuses
committed
in
that
former
age
,
is
now
greeued
by
the
like
in
this
present
age
.
But
mee
thinketh
I
doe
heare
some
In
the
explaning
of
the
vanitie
of
pryde
,
it
is
written
thus
in
the
booke
of
Wisdome
,
What
good
hath
our
pryde
doone
vs
:
or
what
profite
hath
the
pomp
of
riches
brought
vs
?
Al
those
things
are
passed
away
like
a
shadow
,
and
as
a
ship
that
passeth
the
Sea
,
which
when
it
is
gone
by
,
the
trace
thereof
may
not
bee
found
,
&
as
a
messenger
running
before
vs
.
Euen
so
fareth
it
with
vs
miserable
Creatures
:
for
assoone
as
we
are
borne
we
begin
to
drawe
to
our
ende
.
The
dayes
of
our
life
are
few
and
short
:
thou
O
GOD
hast
appointed
an
end
whiche
I
shal
not
passe
:
naked
and
bare
I
came
out
of
my
mothers
wombe
,
and
naked
and
bare
I
shall
returne
againe
.
Truely
all
men
liuing
,
are
vanitie
,
whereby
wee
are
admonished
that
no
man
shoulde
so
consume
away
in
sinne
and
wickednesse
shewing
nor
leauing
no
token
of
vertue
behinde
him
:
Albeit
it
is
a
straunge
case
to
be
considered
howe
many
of
late
time
haue
so
farre
ouershot
them selues
,
too
haue
their
names
shut
vpp
in
the
Merchantes
and
Vsurers
bookes
,
by
bondes
and
otherwise
,
therby
to
serue
theyr
present
turnes
to
the
feeding
of
their
vaine
delightes
.
In
consideration
whereof
,
if
the
parties
them selues
were
aswell
touched
to
discerne
theyr
owne
follies
in
that
behalfe
,
as
it
is
a
griefe
and
sore
hearte
eating
vnto
many
theyr
good
friendes
,
it
woulde
partly
or
most
of
all
auoyde
so
great
inconueniences
,
as
minister
grief
vnto
so
many
,
and
to
some
extreeme
misery
.
And
it
is
cause
of
reioysing
vnto
many
riche
worldlinges
,
who
smile
in
theyr
sleeues
,
to
see
the
world
so
goe
about
:
although
suche
wyll
make
the
matter
very
strannge
,
to
credite
any
man
that
shal
in
such
sort
seeke
vnto
them
,
eyther
vpon
landes
,
or
bondes
,
vntyll
the
neede
and
necessitie
of
the
partie
be
wel
discouered
.
And
so
hauing
founde
the
length
of
his
foote
,
hee
shal
be
fitted
with
an
Instrument
of
proofe
.
In
suche
sorte
as
then
the
Title
of
the
landes
must
be●
brought
in
question
,
which
being
skanned
,
some
faulte
is
founde
that
the
price
must
bee
abated
,
tyll
at
length
the
partie
being
caught
with
the
golden
and
siluer
hookes
,
he
may
goe
play
theron
.
But
in
the
meane
time
hee
must
geue
place
to
suche
an
owner
as
that
the
same
was
neuer
ment
to
by
the
forpossessed
elders
,
and
must
bee
remooued
in
one
day
,
out
of
the
possessions
which
his
Auncestours
,
had
continued
in
many
score
yeeres
,
to
the
vtter
impayring
of
many
a
one
their
credites
,
and
names
of
worship
.
To
the
reformation
whereof
(
if
all
Alexander
Seuerus
,
That
the
Gentlemen
in
shorte
time
did
growe
into
suche
a
disliking
with
them selues
,
and
of
the
maner
of
the
dealing
betwixt
them
,
and
the
riche
Citizens
,
and
Vsurers
:
as
that
they
did
count
it
such
an
abasement
to
the
name
of
a
Gentleman
,
to
bee
bounde
vnto
any
rich
Citizen
or
Vsurer
:
As
rather
the
Gentlemen
dyd
choose
too
take
vppon
them
all
painefull
exercises
,
suche
as
were
moste
consonant
vnto
the
title
of
Gentlemen
,
both
in
martial
feates
&
other
actiuities
,
and
to
content
themselues
to
fare
honestly
,
not
delicately
,
too
goe
apparelled
Gentlemanlike
,
comely
,
although
not
sumptuouly
,
vnlesse
it
were
in
case
of
triumphe
,
for
the
honour
of
their
Prince
and
Countrey
:
And
so
did
testifie
the
true
valure
which
shoulde
remaine
in
Gentlemen
:
whereby
the
signes
and
tokens
of
bearyng
of
Armes
might
rightly
bee
demerited
,
so
gained
vntoo
themselues
through
theyr
valiant
stomacks
and
politike
wittes
,
Some
by
framing
themselues
to
become
good
Councellors
at
home
,
And
some
by
atchiuing
of
worthy
enterprises
by
theyr
Martial
seruice
abroade
,
both
tending
to
the
commodity
and
benefite
of
theyr
natiue
Countrey
.
Loe
heere
you
may
see
what
Persons
maye
condingly
beare
the
signes
and
tokens
of
armes
:
Most
contrary
to
one
bare
reason
,
that
the
fatnes
of
the
earth
doeth
put
in
good
liking
the
seruiceable
steede
,
&
the
millers
hackney
vnagreeable
with
the
true
rules
and
accident
of
armes
,
which
ought
to
be
followed
by
the
steps
of
vertue
,
and
woorthy
deseruing
without
desire
of
vaine
glory
.
A
dehortation
to
priuate
grudge
,
as
the
seconde
cause
of
the
destruction
of
the
Romans
raigne
.
THis
euill
is
suche
as
may
hardly
bee
auoided
and
repressed
,
by
reason
that
the
same
is
couered
by
many
vnder
the
vile
cloake
of
deepe
dissimulation
,
as
Hypocrites
bearing
Hony
in
theyr
mouthes
,
poyson
in
theyr
heartes
,
and
deceiptes
in
theyr
deedes
,
and
so
shall
receiue
the
rewarde
with
vngodly
persons
.
As
it
is
a
lamentable
age
,
where
the
people
say
they
cannot
liue
,
without
the
foule
vice
of
dissimulation
:
and
that
appeareth
in
this
,
that
where
wee
doe
thinke
that
goodnesse
shoulde
harbour
,
therefrom
proceedeth
all
kinde
of
sinne
and
wickednesse
,
and
where
wee
beleeue
trueth
to
bee
lodged
,
there
sleepeth
deepe
deceue
,
I
meane
out
of
the
frowardnes
of
the
hart
of
man
,
most
contrary
to
this
good
doctrine
,
Mercy
and
righteousnes
shold
kisse
ech
other
,
Loue
Faith
,
and
charitie
,
shoulde
ioyne
hands
with
concorde
and
vnitie
,
which
God
graunt
for
his
mercies
sake
speedily
to
confirme
in
the
heartes
of
all
Christians
especially
of
the
people
of
England
according
to
such
examples
,
as
are
written
,
for
our
vnderstanding
.
Also
it
is
writen
of
one
Salust
,
who
at
his
death
warned
his
sonnes
to
agree
within
themselues
,
alledging
vnto
them
,
that
by
concorde
and
vnitie
,
small
thinges
may
bee
increaced
,
but
by
discorde
the
greatest
thinges
that
euer
were
wyll
decay
,
and
bee
brought
too
naught
.
Also
it
is
noted
of
one
Lycurgus
,
that
certaine
Citizens
writing
vnto
him
too
knowe
how
they
might
best
resist
theyr
enimies
:
his
aunswere
vnto
them
was
,
If
you
shall
be
content
to
liue
poore
as
you
are
in
the
feare
of
God
,
&
to
abstaine
from
mutuall
dissention
.
By
which
reasons
it
is
apparant
,
and
most
certaine
that
to
feare
God
and
obey
his
woorde
,
with
a
constant
faith
,
is
not
onely
the
very
key
of
Religion
,
but
the
same
is
also
an
assured
warantise
,
of
the
prosperous
successe
of
all
Councels
,
and
matters
so
taken
in
hand
,
without
any
further
distruste
of
Gods
prouidence
,
without
the
which
if
a
Sparrowe
light
not
vpon
the
house
top
,
howe
muche
more
wyll
hee
safely
conduct
the
enterprises
&
affaires
of
all
suche
as
doe
not
attempt
or
take
any
thing
in
hand
,
but
that
first
the
feare
of
GOD
,
and
the
aduauncement
of
his
woorde
is
chiefly
regarded
,
in
such
wise
as
the
good
successe
of
all
other
our
external
actions
ought
not
to
be
doubted
of
.
For
wauering
&
distrusting
minds
,
do
manyfest
the
weakenesse
of
the
fayth
of
the
people
,
from
whom
the
euil
nature
of
priuate
grudge
ought
to
bee
abandoned
.
Albeit
that
the
rebellious
nature
of
man
is
such
,
as
that
some
will
not
knowe
,
and
some
wyll
not
vnderstande
,
that
brethren
deuided
among
themselues
may
not
indure
:
Nor
a
Citie
deuided
in
it selfe
,
cannot
stande
.
As
for
example
,
if
a
man
take
a
Faggot
in
his
handes
and
assaye
to
breake
,
the
Faggot
being
bounde
fast
togeather
,
it
is
a
thing
impossible
,
albeit
the
same
be
but
little
and
short
.
But
once
disseuer
the
bande
and
knot
where
with
it
is
tyed
,
and
then
the
stickes
seuerally
are
subiected
to
be
broken
easily
:
which
being
so
,
then
it
is
behoofull
for
christian
brethren
to
be
firmely
ioyned
in
the
bands
of
concorde
and
vnitie
,
without
beeyng
acquainted
with
distrustfulnesse
of
Gods
prouidence
,
and
that
no
man
hauing
built
his
faith
vpon
Gods
woorde
,
and
truely
depending
on
Christe
,
shoulde
not
neede
to
doubt
of
a
perfect
peace
.
So
long
as
they
continue
in
the
feare
of
god
and
do
inioy
the
same
our
most
gracious
soueraigne
Queene
,
whom
God
in
his
mercy
hath
vouchsafed
to
place
so
myraculously
to
be
his
chosen
of
the
seede
of
Dauid
,
for
the
deliuerance
of
his
little
flocke
of
England
,
for
the
preseruation
whereof
,
her
Maiestie
hath
had
so
great
a
care
hitherto
as
it
is
euident
,
that
the
mighty
hand
of
God
from
time
to
time
hath
bin
her
director
.
And
so
no
doubt
of
it
,
the
same
our
eternall
God
will
continue
his
good
blessinges
towardes
her
gracious
goodnes
,
as
to
protect
her
in
all
the
rest
of
the
course
of
this
life
,
to
the
maintenance
of
a
continuall
peace
,
wherof
all
her
louing
subiects
may
the
better
assure
themselues
if
they
doe
abstaine
from
mutual
dissention
,
without
murmuring
or
grudging
with
the
disobedient
Israelites
,
what
time
God
wrought
so
great
benefits
and
wonders
for
them
,
by
the
hand
of
his
seruaunt
Moyses
.
And
againe
,
howe
those
people
notwithstanding
by
their
murmuring
Esdras
,
And
like
as
the
death
was
in
Adam
:
So
was
the
water
floods
also
in
the
time
of
Noah
,
namely
Noah
&
his
housholde
being
leste
,
of
whom
came
all
righteous
men
.
And
it
hapned
that
when
they
that
dwelt
vpon
the
earth
began
too
multiply
and
had
gotten
many
children
and
were
a
great
people
,
they
began
too
bee
more
vngodly
then
the
first
.
Nowe
when
they
all
liued
so
wickedly
before
thee
O
God
:
thou
diddest
choose
thee
a
man
from
among
them
,
whose
name
was
Abraham
,
him
thou
louedst
,
&
vnto
him
onely
thou
shewedst
thy
wyll
,
and
madest
an
euerlasting
couenaunte
with
hym
,
promysing
him
that
thou
wouldest
neuer
forsake
his
seede
:
and
vntoo
him
thou
gauest
Isaac
,
and
vnto
Isaac
also
thou
gauest
Iacob
and
Esau
:
as
for
Iacob
thou
didst
choose
him
,
and
put
back
Esau
and
Iacob
became
a
great
multitude
.
As
it
hapned
that
when
thou
leddest
his
seede
out
of
Egypt
.
And
it
followeth
,
how
God
did
for
those
people
great
wonders
,
and
yet
god
tooke
not
away
theyr
wicked
hart
,
wher
in
Adam
transgressed
&
was
ouercome
,
&
so
be
al
they
that
are
borne
of
him
.
And
in
consideration
thereof
,
this
good
Prophet
in
this
Chapter
in
his
complaining
of
the
wickednesse
of
the
people
,
sayth
thus
:
When
my
soule
sawe
so
many
euil
doers
,
in
the
thirtieth
yeere
,
my
hearte
fayled
me
,
for
I
saw
thou
sufferedst
them
in
suche
vngodlinesse
,
and
sparedst
the
wicked
doers
:
but
thine
owne
people
hast
thou
rooted
out
,
and
preserued
thine
enimies
,
and
this
hast
thou
shewed
mee
.
This
part
of
Scripture
may
iustly
stirre
a
feare
in
vs
of
this
age
,
who
all
wold
be
accounted
Gods
people
,
and
yet
in
the
manner
of
many
our
lyues
farre
ods
.
For
proofe
wherof
,
how
many
maisters
in
London
and
else
where
doe
geue
vnto
theyr
seruauntes
wicked
examples
,
in
lading
their
brethren
with
deceaueable
wares
,
suche
and
in
suche
deformed
sort
as
nothing
degressing
from
the
nature
of
Vsurie
,
as
by
the
reckoninges
and
accountes
,
which
I
haue
both
knowen
&
heard
suche
ill
conscioned
persons
do
make
more
gaynefull
returnes
by
suche
theyr
wicked
and
deceiueable
meanes
,
then
many
honest
trauayling
Merchantes
by
their
tedious
trauailes
and
aduenturing
into
forraigne
&
far
countries
.
So
that
by
suche
peruerse
meanes
,
the
boundes
of
Christian
amitie
are
muche
impeached
,
and
as
it
were
in
a
maner
laide
waste
too
the
increasing
of
discorde
and
priuate
grudge
.
Vnto
whom
are
ioyned
in
League
manye
euill
disposed
walking
mates
,
of
whose
seuerall
euilles
you
may
trye
and
discerne
at
large
as
followeth
.
¶
Against
the
corrupt
nature
of
Vsury
,
taking
the
originall
of
the
euill
seede
of
Priuate
gaine
,
THE
greatest
euyll
that
can
bee
thought
vpon
,
crept
into
the
heart
of
man
,
is
this
that
a
great
number
in
London
and
else
where
,
doe
so
playe
theyr
parte
in
such
execrable
and
cursed
maner
,
to
the
aduaunsing
of
that
damnable
trade
:
as
it
may
be
thought
that
all
suche
haue
beene
taught
in
that
wicked
profession
in
some
diuelyshe
schoole
,
from
whence
such
schollers
,
are
growne
experte
and
cunnyng
in
that
profession
,
as
it
seemeth
moste
of
them
haue
so
farre
proceeded
in
such
sort
as
theyr
damnable
scholemaister
can
teach
them
no
further
:
inso
muche
as
many
of
them
haue
more
shiftes
of
suche
schoole
pointes
,
then
the
Diuell
himselfe
,
whose
disciples
all
Vsurers
doe
shewe
themselues
to
bee
.
By
the
which
deformitie
,
they
doe
disguise
and
defame
themselues
:
as
I
haue
read
that
Harphilus
&
his
adherentes
were
the
strongest
theeues
that
robbed
on
the
Sea
:
So
the
Vsurers
of
late
yeeres
are
so
monstruously
growne
vp
in
Englande
that
they
exceede
al
theeues
on
the
land
,
as
one
of
that
trade
by
the
like
woordes
acknowledged
of
hymselfe
,
in
saying
that
hee
had
beene
a
Theefe
too
all
the
worlde
,
and
so
dyed
desperately
,
greatly
thereby
prouooking
Almightie
God
too
hasten
his
heauy
vengeance
,
too
the
cutting
of
of
Satans
crueltie
,
who
hathvsurped
as
it
were
in
bewitching
of
the
heartes
of
men
,
by
suche
vyllanous
means
as
he
findeth
men
most
subiect
to
his
thraldome
:
as
fitting
to
his
purpose
,
he
hath
not
left
vnmindful
the
vile
trade
of
vsury
,
which
so
rightly
is
expounded
,
by
the
Greeke
and
Hebrue
definitions
,
who
do
applie
vsury
vnto
the
biting
&
eating
vp
of
mens
flesh
,
&
as
it
were
to
bray
and
bruse
theyr
bones
in
a
morter
.
And
yet
vsurers
wyll
not
ceasse
to
runne
on
,
more
like
Helhoundes
then
Christians
,
As
though
there
were
no
punishmente
threatned
from
GOD
for
so
greeuous
offences
committed
against
him
and
his
woorde
:
for
no
obedience
to
GOD
nor
dutie
to
theyr
Prince
can
restraine
them
from
theyr
abhomination
:
But
that
they
wyll
needes
hazarde
more
then
the
lawes
of
the
realme
can
prouide
for
,
for
repressing
of
theyr
wickednes
.
For
some
of
them
wyll
not
let
to
hazarde
both
bo●●
〈…〉
soule
&
all
that
euer
they
haue
:
wher
by
it
may
appeare
that
oftentimes
such
are
not
excuseable
of
murder
,
for
that
many
a
good
man
by
such
wicked
meanes
haue
bin
so
ouerladen
by
the
oppression
of
Vsury
.
Insomuch
that
some
so
ouercharged
haue
taken
thought
and
dyed
,
leauing
theyr
wyues
and
children
in
distresse
too
crye
for
vengeaunce
for
so
horrible
a
fact
.
The
ende
whereof
no
doubte
of
it
vntoo
all
the
practicioners
,
wyll
bee
destruction
and
endlesse
damnation
,
vnlesse
all
suche
doe
speedily
returne
vntoo
God
,
not
onely
by
repentance
:
but
also
with
making
of
restitution
as
is
required
in
the
booke
of
Numbers
Cap.
5.
&
6.
And
as
it
appeareth
how
some
haue
liued
insolently
,
&
dyed
miserably
.
So
here
may
you
reade
of
one
that
confessed
him self
penitently
and
recouered
mercifully
hauing
grace
offered
him
in
the
time
of
his
extreeme
sicknesse
,
confessed
hymselfe
as
followeth
,
in
the
presence
of
diuerse
woorshipfull
and
of
good
credite
.
Seeing
I
must
die
,
which
I
assure
you
I
neuer
thought
would
haue
come
to
passe
by
this
disease
wherewith
it
hath
pleased
GOD
too
touche
mee
:
I
doe
nowe
most
hartily
desire
you
in
the
reuerence
of
God
,
&
for
Christes
sake
to
suffer
mee
to
speake
vntyll
I
bee
dead
,
that
I
maye
discharge
my
conscience
,
and
yeelde
myselfe
wholy
vnto
almightie
God
my
Sauiour
and
redeemer
:
vpon
whose
iustice
when
I
behold
,
I
am
condemned
eternally
:
But
on
the
other
side
,
if
I
looke
vpon
his
mercies
,
then
I
truste
hee
wyll
shewe
vnto
mee
as
vnto
the
worst
sort
of
men
,
among
whom
I
assure
you
I
account
my selfe
one
:
for
neuer
man
had
so
much
shewed
him
as
I
haue
had
,
and
so
little
regarded
it
,
as
I
haue
doone
:
Wherfore
good
maisters
for
Christe
his
sake
geue
eare
vnto
me
,
and
I
wyll
tell
you
strange
things
the
which
strange
things
,
I
do
assure
by
the
faith
that
I
beare
vnto
God
,
I
speake
not
of
vaynglory
,
or
prayse
of
my self
or
any
other
cause
,
but
only
thank
god
for
his
great
mercies
shewed
vnto
mee
diuerse
and
sundry
wayes
,
and
also
too
accuse
my
aduersary
the
Diuell
.
It
is
so
that
when
I
was
a
childe
I
was
brought
vpp
with
a
good
father
and
good
mother
,
who
vsed
me
and
other
theyr
children
vertuously
,
and
kept
vs
for
an
houre
or
two
euerye
morning
at
prayers
:
&
when
prayers
were
doone
,
at
our
bookes
.
And
in
the
after
noone
we
were
woont
to
play
in
an
Orchard
neere
adioyning
vnto
my
fathers
house
.
Wher
as
oftentimes
for
the
space
of
three
yeeres
there
appeared
vnto
me
in
a
thick
hedge
a
goodly
and
comfortable
vision
too
beholde
,
so
louingly
and
tenderly
,
as
euer
any
man
liuing
might
desire
and
wishe
,
shewing
suche
especiall
tokens
of
Gods
great
goodnesse
and
mercies
towardes
mee
,
as
I
thinke
neuer
mortall
man
coulde
wyshe
the
like
,
which
I
haue
euer
kept
secret
to
my selfe
vntill
this
present
time
,
for
mine
owne
comfort
and
consolation
.
Now
good
maisters
for
Christ
his
sake
geue
eare
vnto
me
,
and
continue
in
prayers
still
.
So
it
is
that
long
after
I
came
heere
to
London
,
where
I
was
married
,
sithens
which
time
I
assure
you
I
haue
offended
my
Lord
and
Sauiour
Christe
Iesus
so
sore
and
manyfoldly
,
by
committing
of
such
abhominable
vsury
as
I
am
afrayde
I
shal
be
condemned
eternally
:
&
indeede
one
great
occasion
was
,
because
I
neuer
gaue
my selfe
too
prayer
as
I
was
woont
to
doe
,
but
spent
my
tyme
in
ouermuche
worldlinesse
,
for
which
my
conscience
did
oftentimes
accuse
mee
,
which
striuing
within
mee
brought
mee
into
a
marueilous
greate
feare
of
minde
,
so
that
neuer
man
was
in
suche
a
case
of
long
time
.
And
in
this
laste
Tearme
being
in
great
trouble
of
minde
,
the
selfe
same
vision
appeared
vntoo
mee
againe
,
and
put
mee
in
remembraunce
of
Gods
especiall
goodnes
and
graces
before
offered
vnto
mee
,
and
also
in
respecte
of
many
other
thinges
,
wylled
mee
too
leaue
the
trouble
of
the
lawe
,
and
all
the
businesse
of
the
worlde
.
Sithens
which
time
I
assure
you
,
I
haue
left
of
all
,
and
so
disposed
my self
to
liue
with
that
which
the
Lorde
hath
sent
me
notwithstanding
I
wyll
shew
you
stranger
thinges
,
insomuche
that
the
seconde
night
after
I
fel
sick
of
this
my
present
sicknesse
,
being
of
perfect
memory
,
and
in
my
bed
broade
awake
,
there
appeared
vntoo
mee
suche
straunge
and
fearefull
thinges
which
greatly
amased
mee
,
and
put
me
in
a
wonderfull
feare
,
I
cannot
tell
what
I
shoulde
tearme
them
or
call
them
,
but
as
I
remember
they
were
like
Puppets
which
ranne
vpp
and
downe
my
chamber
,
my
bed
,
and
vpon
my
body
,
tossed
mee
,
pulled
mee
,
stirred
mee
,
and
so
vexed
me
as
I
was
neuer
in
my
life
so
troubled
,
shewing
me
so
terrible
&
fearefull
sightes
,
that
I
was
almost
brought
to
destruction
vtterly
,
so
far
foorth
that
I
coulde
not
tell
what
too
doe
.
Yet
at
the
last
remembring
my selfe
calling
too
minde
the
wonderfull
graces
,
that
my
Lorde
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christe
,
had
at
diuerse
and
sundry
times
shewed
mee
,
I
sayde
in
my self
(
O
good
Lord
)
what
doe
all
these
thinges
meane
?
With
that
there
appeared
vnto
me
my
former
vision
againe
,
and
shewed
me
in
writing
all
the
summes
of
vsury
money
which
I
had
receiued
in
my
lyfe
time
,
so
plainly
that
I
read
them
:
And
indeede
the
summes
were
true
&
euery
man
named
with
whom
I
had
occupied
that
trade
,
and
the
seuerall
summes
,
shewing
mee
so
plainly
euery
thing
as
I
assure
you
I
much
marueiled
at
it
.
At
the
last
I
made
answere
too
my
vision
and
saide
,
O
Lord
all
these
things
be
true
indeede
,
what
shall
I
doe
to
it
?
Then
my
vision
made
mee
answere
,
and
comforted
me
very
much
,
and
commaunded
mee
too
repaye
all
the
Vsury
money
againe
to
euery
man
as
hee
had
shewed
me
the
summes
which
came
vnto
18.
hundred
pounds
.
Then
he
bad
me
pay
again
fiftie
pound
which
I
had
gayned
for
buying
of
a
house
,
and
a
hundred
and
twenty
pounds
which
I
had
gotten
by
strangers
as
Italians
and
suche
like
,
and
because
I
knewe
not
where
the
saide
strangers
dwelt
,
to
giue
it
to
good
prisoners
,
&
good
men
that
were
in
Prisons
.
And
maisters
I
cannot
tell
of
what
religion
you
be
of
,
nor
to
tel
you
the
trueth
I
care
not
to
the
end
too
accuse
my
aduersary
the
Deuyll
:
So
as
indeede
I
haue
restored
some
part
already
,
and
wil
render
al
,
God
willing
,
and
wyll
pay
all
the
money
gayned
by
Vsury
as
my
vision
commaunded
mee
,
and
doe
so
intende
God
willing
to
do
tomorrowe
if
I
liue
so
long
:
If
not
,
I
will
desire
a
speciall
friende
of
myne
as
my
trust
is
in
hym
,
to
see
the
same
discharged
,
and
presently
to
paye
out
the
same
,
that
my
soule
may
abide
no
perrill
therefore
.
And
these
thinges
haue
iustly
hapned
vnto
mee
,
for
I
assure
you
I
haue
not
vsed
to
pray
as
I
was
woont
to
doe
,
nor
neuer
went
to
the
Church
at
time
of
common
Prayer
,
because
it
condemned
myne
owne
conscience
,
for
suffering
mee
to
commit
suche
abhominable
sinnes
of
Vsury
,
and
others
moste
detestable
against
the
wyll
of
my
heauenly
Father
,
who
of
the
largenesse
of
his
mercy
so
manyfold
and
sundry
times
did
shew
me
suche
euident
and
singuler
tokens
of
his
graces
and
mercies
.
And
thus
my
visionleft
me
,
sithence
which
time
I
assure
you
I
haue
had
asmuch
quietnesse
as
any
man
can
wishe
,
and
haue
seene
such
comfortable
sightes
,
as
neither
hearte
can
thinke
,
nor
tongue
can
expresse
.
And
so
this
reconciled
person
desired
the
minister
being
present
to
say
the
vii
.
Psalme
,
Glory
bee
to
God
on
high
,
and
then
hee
thought
to
haue
died
.
But
then
the
breath
being
geuen
him
,
he
reuiued
again
,
and
fell
to
prayer
,
and
gaue
himself
wholy
to
quietnesse
,
but
shortly
after
he
departed
this
life
.
And
as
I
finde
of
this
one
so
reconciled
to
God
,
so
I
can
not
learne
,
but
that
as
the
number
of
such
are
very
rare
and
contrary
to
many
such
as
God
hath
suffered
to
perishe
through
that
sinne
as
appeareth
vnto
what
miserable
end
,
the
trade
of
Vsury
brought
manye
Iewes
who
occupied
the
same
trade
in
this
lande
in
former
ages
,
in
suche
wyse
as
it
is
affirmed
in
our
chronicles
.
Thatthere
were
certain
Iewes
inhabiting
in
the
Citie
of
York
.
Insomuch
as
for
some
one
of
theyr
profession
exacted
vpon
a
Christian
And
as
a
false
Diamond
is
not
set
in
a
Ring
without
a
subtill
foyle
,
in
such
wise
as
the
deceite
of
the
deceiuer
may
hardly
be
discouered
without
the
help
of
an
expert
Lapidarie
:
So
Vsurers
are
not
without
theyr
subtill
shifts
&
arguments
for
to
colour
&
defend
their
false
and
deceiueable
practises
.
Insomuchas
some
of
them
dosay
that
such
places
of
the
scriptures
as
are
written
in
reproouing
of
Vsury
,
is
not
so
intended
nor
to
be
applied
against
their
For
then
say
they
,
that
no
man
may
buy
and
sell
without
committing
of
Vsury
,
and
so
they
doe
dwell
vppon
a
nyse
point
of
definition
what
Vsury
is
,
albeit
the
euill
nature
thereof
doth
demonstrate
and
declare
it selfe
contrary
too
the
condition
of
such
commendable
buying
and
selling
as
ought
to
be
orderly
performed
in
the
fellowshipp
of
men
,
without
the
compasse
or
hauing
to
doe
with
Vsury
.
As
it
is
manyfest
,
that
when
any
honest
Merchaunt
or
Retayler
of
wares
,
doo
put
the
same
to
sale
,
the
maner
thereof
is
put
in
vse
in
open
market
,
and
that
by
some
knowne
signe
,
without
the
sinister
dealings
that
vsurers
doe
practise
,
whose
dwelling
places
are
not
easie
to
finde
out
from
other
mens
,
for
want
of
a
Signe
,
which
is
not
so
agreeing
to
theyr
profession
,
as
experience
teacheth
,
for
asmuche
as
the
name
of
an
Vsurer
,
is
not
onely
hatefull
to
all
good
men
,
but
also
lothsom
vnto
the
Vsurers
themselues
:
So
as
theyr
dwelling
places
are
as
subtill
as
the
lurking
of
the
Serpent
that
lieth
hidden
vnder
greene
leaues
,
and
Vsurers
by
theyr
apparell
may
as
hardly
be
discerned
as

onely
the
difference
resteth
in
the
tryall
of
theyr
seuerall
conuersations
and

of

Insomuche
that
it
is

as
thou
hast
done
,
so
shalt
thou
vs
done
with
all
.
For
so
is
the
way
to
finde
grace
and
mercy
with
God
,
that
euery
one
both
man
and
woman
do
refourme
them selues
,
and
refraine
from
hauing
to
do
with
the
felowshyp
of
vngodlines
,
as
that
no
man
to
lye
for
his
own
auaile
,
to
accuse
wrongfully
,
to
preuent
deceitfully
or
frawdulently
.
So
rich
men
should
not
be
enuied
for
their
riches
,
nor
poore
men
oppressed
by
reason
of
their
pouertie
,
&
then
shold
mutual
loue
be
maintained
in
a
common
wealth
,
farre
different
to
suche
euils
as
the
euil
nature
of
priuate
grudge
,
&
priuate
gaine
hath
inforced
in
the
hearts
of
men
which
worketh
much
trouble
amongest
the
people
,
wher
so
great
euils
haue
araied
themselues
against
the
peace
of
the
lande
,
as
more
plainly
appeareth
by
the
manifolde
contentions
dailye
mooued
and
slyred
among
the
people
,
in
theyr
goyng
too
lawe
one
with
another
,
yeldyng
them selues
to
euery
vayne
passion
of
theyr
myndes
,
as
it
is
to
be
noted
by
the
abuse
in
that
behalfe
.
Against
the
frowardnes
and
absurditie
of
Clyents
at
the
Lawe
.
ALthough
it
bee
true
that
the
lawe
is
necessary
in
euery
common
wealth
,
for
keepyng
of
the
people
in
their
due
obedience
,
and
that
euery
man
maye
inioy
his
own
,
according
to
the
peace
of
the
lande
,
yet
the
abuse
of
the
lawe
is
not
so
expedient
:
for
oftentymes
it
so
falleth
out
,
that
what
some
Lawyers
do
so
gainfully
get
,
many
their
Clyents
forgoeth
more
peruersly
.
As
for
insample
may
bee
discerned
by
the
tyde
Boates
,
in
the
passing
too
and
fro
London
:
Howe
one
commeth
vp
with
the
wynde
,
by
easie
labour
:
an
other
goeth
downe
against
the
tyde
by
painefull
toyle
,
and
not
without
danger
of
shipwracke
:
so
to
bee
put
to
their
shiftes
,
especially
when
a
sodaine
storme
ariseth
vnlooked
for
,
with
a
contrarye
wynde
:
for
in
suche
cases
passengers
are
most
subiect
to
be
indangered
&
indamaged
:
which
notwithstanding
it
fareth
not
so
with
those
that
doe
come
vp
the
very
self
same
tyde
,
keeping
the
Lee
shore
,
hauing
both
winde
and
tyde
,
with
them
,
seldome
sustaining
any
damage
in
their
course
,
be
the
winde
neuer
so
contrary
to
others
that
goe
downe
.
Albeit
,
suche
as
come
vpp
are
not
freed
of
all
misfortune
,
as
some
times
subiecte
to
bee
ouerrunne
by
a
greater
shippe
or
vessell
,
or
such
like
casualties
:
which
as
they
do
seldom
happen
,
by
reason
of
the
good
conducte
of
the
Lodesman
:
yet
it
can
dot
be
denyed
,
but
that
such
casuall
blastes
may
happen
,
as
are
most
too
bee
feared
,
when
the
wether
waxeth
darke
and
glummy
.
But
for
better
proofe
,
that
the
euill
of
priuate
grudge
and
priuate
gaine
,
doth
more
profite
to
the
Lawyers
then
vnto
any
other
profession
,
it
is
easie
to
bee
discerned
by
the
diligence
that
is
vsed
by
a
great
number
of
people
traueiling
from
farre
,
to
the
ende
to
helpe
the
Lawyers
in
with
their
haruest
,
which
is
foure
Termes
or
seasons
of
the
yeare
:
duryng
which
tymes
,
many
Lawyers
are
diligent
husbandes
for
them selues
,
in
their
attending
and
gathering
of
their
priuate
gaine
.
But
howe
stack
many
of
them
be
,
in
dispatchyng
of
their
Clyentes
causes
doeth
manifestly
appeare
by
the
prolonging
of
their
sutes
by
all
dilatory
means
:
Insomuch
as
notwithstanding
it
is
to
be
thought
,
that
there
is
no
Counseller
at
the
lawe
worthie
so
to
bee
allowed
,
but
that
vpon
perfect
instructions
deliuered
vnto
him
,
hee
is
able
to
say
or
should
say
,
of
his
learned
knowledge
,
whether
the
case
so
put
vnto
him
be
in
right
and
truth
to
be
mainteined
or
not
.
But
this
Maxime
with
many
is
a
Fallax
in
the
law
,
for
that
the
same
is
not
agreeing
with
many
of
that
profession
.
So
to
play
the
part
of
expert
&
cunnyng
Surgions
,
who
sounding
the
depth
of
their
patients
wounds
,
will
foorthwith
minister
a
speedie
curyng
salue
:
But
rather
too
many
haue
cunnyng
to
playe
the
parte
of
an
yll
conditioned
Surgion
,
who
hauyng
sounded
his
Patients
griefe
,
and
vpon
tryall
finding
,
that
his
Patient
hath
any
store
of
hearbes
in
his
Gardeine
,
straightway
will
apply
a
detractiue
plaister
thereby
to
trye
their
cunnyng
,
and
so
doeth
practice
the
same
so
long
as
they
finde
theyr
Pacient
to
haue
any
suche
hearbes
as
will
worke
to
their
myndes
.
And
in
the
meane
tyme
such
beareth
his
poore
Patient
in
hande
,
that
his
griefe
had
beene
sooner
cured
,
if
some
tyme
one
impediment
,
some
tyme
an
other
had
not
hyndered
the
cause
in
working
,
accordyng
to
the
quilities
and
slintes
of
the
lawe
,
tyll
suche
tyme
as
all
his
Patientes
hearbes
are
spent
,
by
the
froward
meanes
of
such
Surgions
,
and
many
a
man
so
left
comfortlesse
,
and
voide
of
hope
of
recouery
of
that
which
by
good
meanes
might
better
haue
beene
holpen
,
or
els
not
to
haue
beene
taken
in
hande
at
all
.
Notwithstandyng
it
is
certayne
,
that
hearbes
doe
worke
much
in
curing
,
but
the
better
if
they
be
applied
in
their
right
nature
and
condition
:
in
such
sort
as
men
can
not
vse
the
Surgions
practise
,
without
much
payne
to
be
indured
by
his
patient
,
especially
if
the
Surgion
bee
indurate
of
hart
:
So
assuredly
men
can
not
goe
to
lawe
one
with
an
other
with
suche
quietnesse
of
mynde
,
as
it
is
by
some
supposed
.
For
proofe
whereof
,
if
men
would
examine
in
them selues
howe
difficult
a
thing
it
is
,
for
Christian
bretheren
too
spende
their
tyme
in
folowing
lawe
matters
:
It
will
easily
appeare
,
that
for
the
most
parte
,
suche
common
posting
to
law
as
nowe
a
dayes
is
vsed
,
is
not
perfourmed
without
greate
greefe
and
vexation
of
the
mynde
.
As
first
either
the
partie
plaintiue
or
defendaunt
,
or
both
enter
not
into
sute
without
offence
&
grudge
of
conscience
.
And
nextly
,
their
money
in
their
purses
will
not
bee
at
quiet
tyll
their
proper
owner
bee
eased
thereof
by
Lawyers
:
although
with
the
more
paine
if
the
Clyents
are
dwellyng
farre
from
London
,
folowing
oftentymes
their
own
euill
affections
,
as
they
are
mooued
thorowe
the
vayne
passions
of
their
mynds
,
leauing
their
more
needefull
affayres
at
home
vndone
,
not
onely
to
their
owne
harmes
,
but
perhappes
sometymes
to
the
want
of
some
of
their
pore
wiues
and
children
,
in
need
of
that
which
some
fond
husbandes
doe
so
wastfully
and
wilfully
consume
in
a
desperate
manner
:
without
their
more
due
consideration
,
what
inconueniences
may
growe
vnto
them selues
,
by
feeding
their
vaine
humours
,
in
attempting
the
lawe
for
euery
friuolous
matter
,
wherevpon
action
will
lye
,
and
oftentimes
vpon
no
ground
at
all
,
stirring
matters
of
contention
where
no
cause
is
.
As
a
strange
case
that
sensible
men
shold
delight
to
weary
their
bodies
by
traueyling
from
farre
:
to
the
ende
to
departe
from
their
goods
in
so
ill
condition
,
wherin
truely
the
Lawyers
are
not
so
muche
to
be
blamed
in
the
attentiuenesse
of
their
priuate
gaine
,
as
many
fond
Clyents
by
procuring
their
owne
paine
.
For
before
the
Lawyer
was
troubled
with
such
Clients
and
their
troublesome
causes
,
and
fraighted
with
their
harde
gotten
mony
,
the
Lawyer
did
sit
,
and
perhaps
might
sit
quietly
at
his
booke
:
and
in
the
winter
to
call
for
a
fyre
to
warme
him
:
wheras
nowe
the
ouer
muche
folly
of
many
Clyents
hath
and
doeth
maintayne
the
Law
.
yers
to
be
both
warme
within
&
abroad
:
whyle
many
harebraynde
Clyents
must
tarry
and
attend
without
,
hauing
forgon
that
by
their
owne
frailtie
and
wilfulnes
,
which
woulde
haue
kepte
them selues
warme
at
home
many
a
colde
day
,
and
eased
them
of
many
a
paynefull
iourney
.
For
proofe
thereof
,
my selfe
haue
learned
by
experience
,
included
in
these
verses
folowyng
:
Who
so
that
is
forced
the
law
to
pursue
,
must
offer
the
Lawyer
more
than
his
due
:
But
such
as
can
keepe
them selues
therfro
,
shal
find
reliefe
of
troubles
and
wo
:
Qui
ante
non
cauet
,
to
late
may
repent
,
Wherfore
with
thine
estate
be
thou
content
.
Whereby
it
is
to
bee
noted
,
the
ignoraunce
wherein
many
doe
shewe
them selues
to
bee
blynded
,
with
the
litle
confidence
which
one
neyghbour
seemeth
to
haue
in
an
other
.
In
so
much
as
I
haue
thought
both
my selfe
and
many
others
deceiued
in
that
behalfe
,
who
settyng
a
parte
the
trust
of
affiaunce
,
which
ought
to
bee
reposed
in
honest
&
discreet
neighbours
,
haue
obstinately
throwne
them selues
into
great
charges
,
with
the
discommodittes
before
rehearsed
.
Albeit
,
dayly
experience
teacheth
,
that
after
long
and
tedious
sute
mainteined
,
the
ende
of
all
issues
growe
to
one
of
these
two
poyntes
,
that
eyther
the
parties
are
persuaded
by
,
friendes
,
or
by
their
Lawyers
to
put
the
matter
in
comprimyse
,
or
els
the
nature
of
the
lawe
doeth
award
a
Iury
of
twelue
men
to
trye
the
issue
,
in
such
wyse
as
perhappes
no
one
of
the
sayde
twelue
are
knowne
,
neyther
vnto
partye
playntyue
,
or
defendaunt
:
or
if
to
the
one
,
yet
not
to
the
other
.
Wherevpon
I
deeme
this
old
adage
dyd
grow
,
That
as
a
man
is
befriended
,
so
is
the
law
ended
.
So
as
often
tymes
it
falleth
out
,
that
those
carrye
awaye
the
blowes
,
who
leaste
distrusted
theyr
cause
:
farre
contrary
to
their
expectations
:
In
suche
sort
,
as
were
it
not
much
better
that
such
vnskilfull
persons
had
neuer
hazarded
them selues
in
the
fray
.
As
often
the
matter
doeth
hang
a
yeare
or
two
doubtfull
,
in
whom
the
victory
shal
rest
:
and
yet
in
the
ende
one
worde
may
bee
so
taken
at
the
vantage
,
as
the
spending
of
many
a
pounde
may
not
cure
the
wounde
made
thereby
.
And
by
such
means
the
bounds
of
christian
amitie
is
much
impaired
.
In
so
much
as
Christian
loue
and
neighbourhead
appeareth
to
be
very
cold
,
where
the
people
may
not
be
perswaded
so
to
frame
them selues
,
as
to
commyt
their
common
causes
of
controuersie
,
to
the
hearing
and
deciding
of
the
worshipful
Gentlemen
nere
vnto
them
adioyning
,
or
vnto
their
honest
discreete
neighbours
.
For
it
is
very
vnlyke
that
a
stranger
who
dwelleth
farre
distant
from
vs
,
and
altogether
ignorant
of
our
dispositions
and
conuersations
,
shold
sooner
prouide
a
redemie
than
our
knowen
neighbours
,
and
suche
as
wee
are
daily
conuersant
with
all
:
and
vnto
whom
our
inclinations
&
maners
of
liuing
is
better
knowne
.
As
also
no
sensible
man
ought
to
bee
ignorant
,
that
honest
neighbors
wil
hold
themselues
more
thankfully
content
with
one
friendly
intertainment
after
their
trauayles
vsed
in
such
behalf
,
then
the
Lawyers
will
accompt
of
their
many
fees
.
But
me
thinketh
,
I
heare
some
say
,
mine
aduersary
dwelleth
farre
distaunt
from
mee
:
vnto
whom
I
answere
,
not
so
.
But
that
if
thou
accompt
anye
thy
Christian
brethren
for
thine
aduersary
,
then
take
heede
of
thy
Aduersary
the
Deuill
,
for
he
is
nearer
vnto
thee
then
thou
art
aware
off
:
And
appeareth
not
to
be
farre
from
suche
,
as
haue
chosen
to
dwell
in
malice
and
grudge
of
conscience
many
yeares
,
yea
,
perhappes
to
their
ending
day
.
And
againe
me
thinkes
I
heare
some
say
,
that
my
neighbors
vpon
some
grudge
may
be
corrupted
,
which
I
can
not
deny
:
But
then
it
must
needes
folowe
,
that
the
people
are
very
euill
disposed
,
and
in
a
badde
case
,
where
corruption
may
so
take
place
in
the
hearts
of
such
as
professe
the
name
of
God
:
that
so
many
may
not
bee
founde
to
speake
in
true
iudgement
betwixt
neyghbour
,
and
neyghbour
,
brother
and
brother
:
to
the
vnityng
and
norishing
of
brotherly
loue
and
felowshyp
,
in
such
sort
as
ought
to
be
desired
among
all
suche
as
beare
the
names
of
Christians
:
As
wee
are
taught
in
sundry
places
of
the
scriptures
.
In
so
muche
as
S.
Iohn
wryting
in
his
first
Epistle
and
Cayn
,
which
was
that
wicked
,
and
slewe
his
brother
:
And
wherefore
●●ue
hee
him
:
Because
his
owne
workes
were
euil
,
and
his
brothers
good
.
And
agayne
it
is
written
in
the
same
Chapter
:
God
is
loue
,
and
hee
that
dwelleth
in
loue
,
dwelleth
in
God
,
and
God
in
him
.
Herein
is
the
loue
perfect
in
vs
,
that
wee
haue
trust
in
the
daye
of
iudgement
:
for
as
be
is
,
euen
so
are
we
in
this
world
.
There
is
no
feare
in
loue
,
but
perfecte
loue
casteth
out
feare
,
for
feare
hath
paynefulnes
,
for
hee
that
feareth
,
is
not
perfect
in
loue
.
Wee
loue
him
for
hee
loued
vs
first
:
if
a
man
say
hee
loue
God
,
and
yet
hate
his
brother
,
he
is
a
lyar
.
For
howe
can
be
that
loueth
not
his
brother
,
whom
hee
hath
seene
,
loue
God
whom
hee
hath
not
seene
?
And
this
commaundement
haue
wee
of
him
:
that
hee
which
loueth
God
,
should
loue
his
brother
also
.
Loe
here
the
true
fourme
,
what
brotherly
loue
is
required
at
our
hands
from
God
:
wherevnto
wee
shoulde
the
rather
bende
our selues
,
for
that
as
in
the
olde
lawe
they
had
the
sacrifices
:
So
nowe
God
be
thanked
,
&
so
gra●ious
a
Queene
,
Englande
doeth
possesse
the
true
sacramentes
:
to
the
endles
comfort
of
all
such
as
haue
in
them selues
a
〈◊〉
●esire
vnto
true
iudgement
and
ryghteousnes
,
which
I
pray
God
to
plant
in
the
hearts
of
the
people
:
And
so
beyng
perfourmed
,
I
am
persuaded
that
there
woulde
not
be
so
manye
frowarde
sutes
maynteyned
in
Englande
,
euen
as
it
were
for
stirring
of
strawes
,
vppon
euerye
friuolous
clause
.
In
so
muche
as
if
the
people
coulde

ryghtlye
in

what
small
goodnes
commeth
of
frowardnes
,
maliciousnes
,
and
deceitfulnesse
.
I
iudge
that
there
woulde
not
bee
such
throng
in
Westminster
Hall
,
as
in
this
our
age
is
nowe
folowed
with
greedinesse
,
in
weariyng
the
Lawyers
in
trudging
from
barre
to
barre
,
whervnto
they
are
not
easily
hyred
.
Neither
the
Notaries
and
Scriueners
,
shoulde
not
neede
to
occupie
and
busie
their
heades
in
deuising
&
framing
large
instruments
of
writings
,
with
couenaunt

couenaunt
,
and
bonde

and
all
to

,
as
nowe
thinges
are
abused
in
such
lamentable
wyse
,
that
oftentimes
in
place
of
true
dealyng
and
keeping
of
promyse
betwixt
man
and
man
,
nowe
one
couyn
foloweth
an

and

met
with

in
such
odious
manner
as
if

were
broken
loose
,
and
the
wicked
spirits
raging
euery
where
,
inanimatyng
the
people
to
become
lyke
them selues
.
Albeit
,
it
is
most
true
,
that
the
Deuill
is
the
father
of
all
lyes
(
whervpon
the
Prophet
Micheas
hath
set

And

Esai

Christ
,
reprouing
By
which
doctrine
all
Christians
are
willed
to
auoyde
so
great
threatenynges
from
God
:
and
hereby
wee
learne
,
that
no
man
can
keepe
his
hands
cleane
from
deceites
and
bribes
,
except
he
first
washe
away
the
couetous
desires
from
his
hart
,
and
so
shal
we
obtayne
a
true
iudgement
:
In
so
muche
that
where
the
people
haue
no
feelyng
desire
in
them selues
of
suche
iudgement
,
let
them
then
beware
of
Christes
iudgement
,
and
learne
in
tyme
to
be
more
carefull
howe
to
frame
them selues
towardes
God
and
their
neighbour
,
both
in
heart
and
tongue
.
As
for
ensample
,
if
a
prisoner
beyng
brought
before
a
Iudge
to
bee
tryed
by
the
lawes
of
this
realme
,
and
that
the
prisoner
standyng
vpon
his
tryall
should
let
passe
some
speache
,
makyng
agaynst
him selfe
,
which
beyng
so
taken
in
trip
by
the
Iudge
,
the
prisoners
life
might
be
hazarded
thereby
,
woulde
not
suche
a
one
gladly
wish
in
his
hart
that
he
had
refrained
his
tongue
from
suche
his
vnaduised
speach
,
tending
to
his
distruction
.
Howe
muche
more
ought
wee
,
miserable
creatures
feare
to
commit
so
great
〈◊〉
and
wicked
deedes
worthie
of
death
,
〈…〉
excusable
before
the
high
maiestie
o●
our
eternall
God
.
And
to
the
ende
that
no
man
shoulde
so
flatter
him selfe
,
as
to
say
,
that
God
is
no
such
seuere
Iudge
,
let
euery

take
vnto
him self
the
ensample
of
the
ten

Against
the
corrupt
dealings
of
retaylers
of
wares
,
and
suche
lyke
.
NOtwithstanding
that
it
may
be
thought
sufficient
hath
bene
saide
in
the
former
treatise
of
the
euil
working
of
priuate
gaine
among
the
people
,
yet
the
nature
thereof
,
will
not
bee
hyd
in
some
retaylors
of
wares
,
as
may
more
easily
appeare
in
the
packyng
which
many
of
them
doe
vse
with
deceites
,
in
euery
their
seuerall
professions
,
in
the
vending
of
their
wares
,
to
the
abridging
of
this
adage
,
That
that
realme
standeth
best
,
wherein
most
members
are
prouided
for
.
Wherein
it
is
to
bee
vnderstoode
that
suche
are
best
to
be
accounted
of
,
that
doe
best
deserue
in
profiting
their
countrey
with
their
paynful
trauailes
,
which
in
my
simple
opinion
is
wel
perfourmed
by
three
seueral
vocations
,
that
is
the
husbandman
which
tilleth
the
grounde
,
and
by
his
diligence
as
God
giueth
increase
,
hee
from
time
to
tyme
letteth
no
season
passe
tyll
hee
haue
atteyned
the
fruite
of
his
painful
labour
,
to
the
comfort
of
the
common
welth
.
Secondly
,
the
Clothier
,
who
by
his
diligence
setteth
a
woorke
a
great
number
of
people
,
to
the
maintenaunce
of
the
countreys
where
as
they
are
planted
,
and
to
the
profit
of
the
whole
realme
.
And
thirdly
,
the
Merchaunt
aduenturer
,
a
member
that
may
not
be
spared
,
for
by
them
the
commodities
which
may
best
be
spared
,
are
transported
into
other
countreys
:
and
the
commodities
,
which
to
their
natyue
countrey
is
moste
wantyng
,
that
bring
they
home
by
way
of
exchaunge
and
returne
.
As
God
hath
giuen
and
distributed
to
euery
Nation
and
countrey
,
a
seuerall
blessyng
,
for
which
England
is
not
the
least
indebted
vnto
God
,
aboue
any
other
nation
,
in
respect
of
the
large
measure
of
Gods
sundry
benifites
receiued
in
suche
wyse
:
as
it
may
rightly
bee
saide
,
what
is
most
needfull
for
the
supplye
of
mans
necessity
,
but
that
England
is
plentifully
furnished
withall
,
especially
of
foode
for
mans
sustenance
,
&
the
commoditie
of
wooll
.
which
beyng
transported
into
cloth
,
or
otherwyse
accordyng
to
the
lawes
of
this
realme
,
yeldeth
great
good
to
most
sortes
of
people
:
for
which
other
Nations
can
not
but
thinke
them selues
to
be
rightly
beholdyng
vnto
Englande
,
as
appeareth
by
the
intercourse
,
sought
to
be
maynteined
with
Englande
by
forraine
Princes
:
In
respecte
whereof
,
the
felowshyp
of
the
Merchant
aduenturers
,
haue
alwayes
declared
them selues
worthy
members
.
As
by
their
sundry
careful
indeuours
them selues
haue
,
and
doe
dailye
manifest
,
not
only
in
aduēnturing
of
their
substaunce
,
in
the
prosecutyng
of
their
paynfull
affayres
,
with
the
benifit
which
by
them
is
brought
into
their
Princes
Coffers
,
which
is
not
easily
compassed
,
And
although
all
men
can
say
,
playne
Dearly
beloued
,
be
not
ignorant
of
this
one
thing
,
howe
that
one
day
is
with
the
Lorde
as
a
thousand
yeares
,
and
a
thousand
yeares
as
one
day
.
The
Lorde
that
hath
promised
is
not
slacke
,
as
some
men
count
slacknesse
:
but
is
patient
to
vsward
.
Forasmuch
as
he
wold
haue
no
man
lost
,
but
will
receiue
all
men
to
repentaunce
.
Neuerthelesse
,
the
day
of
the
Lorde
will
come
as
a
theefe
in
the
night
,
in
the
which
day
,
the
heauens
shall
passe
away
in
maner
of
a
tempest
,
and
the
Elements
shal
melt
with
heate
:
the
earth
also
and
the
workes
that
are
therin
,
shall
burne
.
Seeyng
then
that
all
these
thinges
shal
perish
what
manner
persons
ought
yee
to
bee
in
holy
conuersation
and
godlines
:
looking
for
,
and
hastyng
vnto
the
comming
of
the
day
of
God
,
by
whome
the
heauens
shall
perishe
with
fyre
,
and
the
Elements
shal
melte
with
heate
.
Neuerthelesse
,
wee
accordyng
to
his
promise
,
looke
for
a
newe
heauen
and
a
newe
earth
,
wherein
dwelleth
righteousnesse
.
Wherefore
dearely
beloued
,
seeyng
that
yee
looke
for
suche
thinges
,
be
diligent
that
ye
may
be
found
in
peace
without
spotte
and
vndefiled
,
and
suppose
that
the
long
suffring
of
the
Lord
is
saluation
.
By
this
doctrine
euery
Christian
ought
not
to
be
ignorant
howe
there
is
a
great
difference
betwixt
the
record
of
God
and
the
witnesse
of
men
,
&
that
euery
one
should
so
growe
in
grace
&
knowledge
of
our
Lord
and
sauiour
Iesus
Christ
:
As
that
we
be
not
plucked
away
thorow
the
errour
of
the
wicked
.
In
respect
wherof
to
the
ende
that
all
men
may
haue
a
due
consideration
what
manner
of
dealing
God
alloweth
among
his
people
in
their
buiyng
and
selling
,
I
haue
here
set
down
such
certaine
notes
as
the
worde
of
God
doeth
direct
vs
vnto
.
When
thou
sellest
aught
to
thy
neighbour
or
buiest
any
thing
of
him
,
deceiue
Deale
not
wrongfully
with
thy
neighbour
,
A
false
Ballance
is
an
abomination
Haue
therefore
a
regarde
vnto
this
doctrine
,
lest
that
God
beholdyng
your
misoemeanour
towardes
him
and
your
neighbour
,
say
this
vnto
you
,
These
people
drawe
vnto
mee
with
their
mouthes
Moreouer
it
is
written
,
if
any
man
among
you
seeme
deuout
,
and
refraine
not
his
tongue
,
but
do
deceiue
his
own
heart
:
this
mans
deuotion
is
in
vaine
.
By
which
doctrine
wee
are
learned
,
that
the
eyes
of
the
lord
are
ouer
the
righteous
,
&
his
eares
are
open
to
their
prayers
:
and
the
face
of
the
Lorde
beholdeth
all
those
which
doe
euill
and
wrong
.
Wherby
it
is
to
be
noted
,
in
what
dread
men
doe
sometime
stand
in
of
their
superiors
,
lest
that
for
some
contempt
or
disobedience
,
the
transgressours
are
subiecte
to
be
sent
to
ward
,
in
such
wise
as
in
such
cases
men
doe
seeme
to
bee
very
circumspect
.
And
yet
a
great
number
,
thorowe
their
neglecting
their
duetie
&
obedience
to
God
,
do
vnto
him
stande
subiect
euery
houre
,
to
be
cast
into
a
woful
prison
:
where
it
will
be
too
late
for
such
to
say
,
I
would
other
my
friends
were
warned
by
mee
.
For
then
that
may
neither
auayle
thee
,
nor
amend
them
.
As
wee
finde
it
written
:
That
when
Diues
desired
that
his
other
By
which
ensample
all
people
are
admonished
,
that
in
this
lyfe
while
they
haue
time
&
space
euery
one
both
men
and
women
,
to
do
nothing
against
a
good
conscience
,
and
to
examine
in
them selues
,
how
they
doe
delight
to
lyue
in
the
feare
of
God
,
and
by
their
innocency
of
lyfe
,
doe
indeuour
them selues
to
obtayne
Gods
fauour
,
and
so
to
be
brought
into
the
fold
mentioned
in
S.
Iohn
.
Wherin
it
is
noted
,
perpetuum
,
That
by
the
permission
of
God
&
his
protection
,
her
Maiestie
hath
raigned
the
peaceable
Queene
and
shephearde
ouer
the
litle
shepcoate
of
the
people
of
England
.
Wherefore
it
behooueth
the
people
to
be
as
simple
as
sheepe
,
&
in
their
yelding
lyke
due
obedience
to
God
,
and
our
so
blessed
a
gouernesse
,
&
not
to
set
light
by
the
callyng
of
the
Pastors
,
who
watch
for
our
soules
euen
as
those
that
muste
giue
account
therefore
,
and
vnto
such
we
owe
a
duetifull
reuerence
,
especially
if
they
be
suche
Pastors
and
Ministers
as
are
required
in
so
weightie
a
businesse
:
and
whatsoeuer
the
Minister
be
,
be
hee
good
or
badde
,
whose
conuersation
if
we
will
needes
looke
vpon
,
yet
wee
must
so
looke
,
that
our
looking
be
rightly
.
And
although
we
are
forbidden
to
do
as
some
of
them
doe
:
yet
we
are
not
forbidden
to
folowe
the
doctrine
which
by
them
is
deliuered
vnto
vs
,
out
of
the
worde
of
God
.
And
to
trye
whether
our
followyng
bee
rightly
,
and
howe
wee
doe
profite
euery
man
in
the
course
of
this
our
pilgrimage
,
Let
vs
examine
it
by
these
twoo
rules
.
First
,
as
husbandment
can
make
no
perfit
reckoning
of
his
painefull
labour
&
trauayle
,
And
againe
as
the
Merchant
aduenturer
can
not
perfite
their
accomptes
before
the
dangerous
aduentures
be
returned
in
safetie
,
to
their
wished
and
desired
port
:
So
as
after
their
merchandise
and
commodities
beeyng
vended
,
then
fall
they
to
casting
and
Ballaunsing
of
their
recconings
.
Vpon
the
examination
wherof
,
they
doe
discerne
,
what
and
how
much
they
haue
profited
or
lost
in
their
voiage
or
aduenture
:
and
if
they
finde
that
they
are
brought
behynde
hand
,
and
fall
short
of
their
recconing
,
then
they
examine
the
cause
,
which
beyng
founde
,
they
become
more
carefull
in
their
;
next
aduenturing
.
An
suche
wyse
,
as
by
their
diligence
,
and
God
his
blessyng
of
their
trauayles
,
in
so
good
condition
,
as
their
former
losses
oftentyme
is
restored
againe
with
double
increase
,
to
their
great
comfort
and
the
discouraging
of
all
suche
as
doe
fraudently
deceiue
or
wastfully
consume
their
goods
,
and
so
become
bankerupt
.
These
examples
I
woulde
wishe
all
men
to
imitate
,
by
examinyng
euery
one
in
him selfe
,
howe
they
doe
growe
riche
in
the
perfityng
of
their
accompt
to
God
warde
.
Although
it
is
apparaunt
that
there
are
some
men
which
waxe
riche
otherwyse
,
who
shewe
them selues
not
to
knowe
what
it
is
to
heare
the
Lord
God
speakyng
to
them
by
his
Prophets
:
and
in
this
our
age
deliuered
vnto
them
by
the
mouthes
of
many
learned
and
godly
Preachers
,
whose
callyng
if
they
may
not
be
heard
and
receiued
,
accordyng
as
it
is
written
in
the
Reuelation
.
Hee
that
hath
eares
let
him
heare
,
That
is
to
heare
rightly
,
and
with
ioy
,
and
to
expresse
the
fruite
thereof
in
a
lyfe
agreeable
to
the
same
,
which
if
riche
men
doe
refuse
to
practise
,
then
let
it
be
examined
how
,
and
what
such
and
their
posteritie
shall
be
the
better
for
riches
vnlawfully
gotten
:
seeing
that
the
more
they
haue
,
the
more
they
want
.
And
that
which
they
haue
so
gotten
and
scraped
together
,
she
l
one
day
bee
a
witnesse
against
them
.
For
it
is
true
,
that
although
wee
haue
here
many
dayes
,
God
shall
haue
one
day
.
As
the
worde
of
God
testifieth
,
That
the
day
of
the
Lorde
shall
come
vpon
all
fleshe
.
And
as
it
is
written
in
the
Gospell
of
Saint
Marke
.
Except
that
the
Lorde
shoulde
shorten
those
dayes
,
no
man
should
be
saued
:
Moreouer
it
is
written
in
the
same
Chapter
,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
.
Til
these
thinges
be
done
,
heauen
and
earth
shall
passe
,
but
my
wordes
shal
not
passe
.
But
of
the
day
&
the
houre
knoweth
no
man
:
No
not
the
Angels
which
are
in
heauen
,
neither
the
sonne
of
man
him selfe
,
saue
the
father
onely
.
Take
heede
,
watch
and
pray
,
for
ye
knowe
not
when
the
time
is
.
As
a
man
which
is
gone
into
a
straunge
countrey
,
and
hath
left
his
house
,
&
giuen
authoritie
to
his
seruauntes
,
and
to
euery
one
his
work
,
and
commaunded
the
Porter
to
watch
:
watch
therfore
,
for
ye
know
not
when
the
maister
of
the
house
will
come
,
whether
at
euen
or
midnight
,
whether
at
the
Cocke
crowing
,
or
in
the
dawnyng
:
Lest
if
he
come
sodainly
,
he
should
finde
you
sleeping
.
And
that
I
say
vnto
you
,
I
say
vnto
all
men
,
watch
and
pray
.
The
due
consideration
of
this
doctrine
hath
mooued
many
good
and
godly
men
to
become
stedfast
in
the
faith
of
Christ
,
as
the
best
meanes
to
the
attainement
of
saluation
.
But
this
fayth
that
is
requyred
,
must
be
no
idle
fayth
:
for
a
perfecte
And
as
faith
of
it selfe
Is
the
summe
of
our
Creede
:
So
good
workes
are
not
excluded
,
in
word
nor
indeede
.
As
testifieth
these
necessary
places
of
scriptures
.
Thou
hast
fayth
,
and
I
haue
deedes
:
shew
me
thy
fayth
by
thy
deeds
:
belieuest
thou
that
there
is
one
God
?
thou
doest
well
:
The
Deuils
also
beleeue
and
If
a
brother
or
a
sister
be
naked
,
and
be
destitute
of
daily
foode
,
and
one
of
you
say
vnto
him
,
depart
in
peace
:
God
send
you
warmenesse
and
clothing
.
Notwithstandyng
,
ye
giue
them
not
those
things
that
are
needfull
to
the
body
,
what
shal
it
helpe
:
Euen
so
,
faith
if
it
haue
no
deedes
is
dead
in
it self
.
As
for
ensample
,
a
needle
is
a
needfull
thing
to
make
the
way
,
but
a
threed
with
it
more
profiteth
the
workman
.
And
Sainct
Paule
to
the
Hebrewes
writeth
,
Fayth
is
a
sure
foundation
of
Cayne
:
by
which
he
obtayned
witnesse
that
he
was
righteous
,
God
testifiyng
of
his
giftes
.
And
in
his
Epistle
to
the
Galathians
,
And
that
I
wryte
not
these
thinges
forth
of
mens
dreames
or
fables
,
nor
out
of
prophane
histories
painted
with
vaine
eloquence
,
but
forth
of
the
infallible
truth
of
Gods
worde
.
As
by
the
authoritie
of
Saint
Peter
in
his
first
Epistle
doeth
Notwithstandyng
,
it
is
a
thing
much
to
be
lamented
,
that
any
people
that
doe
professe
Christ
,
should
so
loue
this
worlds
possessions
,
as
to
leaue
God
and
theyr
neighbour
vnbeloued
.
And
yet
such
ought
not
to
bee
ignoraunt
that
the
vertue
of
riches
do
take
their
leaue
in
this
life
,
wheras
the
ende
of
godlinesse
neuer
dyeth
:
but
doeth
ascende
vpp
vnto
Heauen
before
the
hyghe
Maiestie
of
GOD
,
who
rewardeth
euery
one
accordyng
to
his
workes
.
In
so
much
as
Christ
onely
,
hauing
ouercome
all
thinges
,
hath
prepared
a
Crowne
of
glory
,
for
all
those
that
walke
in
his
wayes
,
and
fyue
after
his
commaundements
and
ordinaunces
:
So
shall
it
neuer
repent
any
of
well
doyng
.
As
if
all
riche
men
dyd
so
loue
and
feare
God
,
as
to
feare
him
for
his
iustice
,
and
loue
him
for
his
graces
and
mercies
extended
:
Then
woulde
riche
men
cease
to
worke
sinne
with
greedinesse
:
who
as
they
will
take
vnto
them
the
ensamples
of
the
godly
,
riche
Abraham
,
Dauid
,
and
Iob.
Whose
maner
of
godly
liuyng
,
all
riche
men
should
also
imitate
,
and
set
before
their
eyes
,
practizing
the
same
in
their
conuersations
,
as
a
perfect
tryall
to
knowe
a
good
riche
man
by
,
assuring
our selues
that
that
which
Gods
worde
warranteth
,
is
a
perfect
touchstone
to
prooue
the
testimony
of
a
good
conscience
.
But
God
knoweth
with
what
sorowe
it
may
be
sayd
,
O
miserable
world
,
wheras
riches
doe
remaine
:
and
vertue
and
godlinesse
in
the
most
part
of
the
people
appeareth
to
be
fledde
,
which
is
to
be
lamented
in
this
wyse
:
O
litle
labour
for
a
man
to
knowe
him selfe
.
O
litle
fayth
in
seeking
to
●●eepe
Gods
commaundementes
.
And
yet
a
straunge
thing
howe
loth
euery
on●●
is
to
dye
:
and
yet
a
number
dead
in
deedes
,
and
yet
liuyng
.
As
it
is
recorded
in
the
scriptures
of
the
rich
widowe
,
that
while
she
liued
,
in
all
pleasure
and
sensuatie
it
was
sayd
of
her
,
let
her
alone
,
sheepe
dead
.
As
also
so
long
as
the
prodigal
childe
lyued
in
his
prodigalitie
raunging
at
his
pleasure
,
so
let
runne
at
large
:
duryng
which
time
his
father
accompted
him
as
lost
,
vntyll
hee
returned
beeyng
touched
with
the
consideration
of
his
miserable
estate
,
and
acknowledged
his
owne
infirmitie
and
weakenes
in
that
he
had
obeyed
vnto
his
owne
lust
in
treading
of
the
pathes
of
vngodlines
wherein
he
being
weried
confessed
him selfe
to
haue
beene
worthily
chastened
,
doing
the
duetie
of
a
childe
in
yeeldyng
of
due
obedience
.
By
which
meanes
hee
was
reconciled
and
receiued
againe
into
his
fathers
favour
.
God
grant
the
like
retourning
,
not
onely
of
all
the
disobedient
children
of
Englande
,
but
also
of
all
such
as
are
old
enough
to
knowe
what
it
is
to
disobeye
God
,
and
that
many
suche
as
neither
wil
refourme
them selues
,
nor
looke
to
be
refoutmed
.
Agaynst
extortyng
Farmers
and
Grasiers
,
depending
on
priuate
gayne
.
ANd
that
the
euil
seed
of
priuate
gaine
,
is
sowen
and
hath
taken
roote
,
as
well
in
the
countrey
as
in
Cities
and
Townes
,
it
is
euident
by
the
practise
that
many
riche
Farmers
and
Erasiers
do
vse
in
this
age
,
in
place
of
such
as
God
alotted
vnto
Adam
,
saying
—
In
the
sweat
of
thy
face
shalte
thou
eat
thy
bread
,
tyll
By
this
part
of
Scripture
it
appeareth
how
some
men
haue
grown
in
welth
and
yet
doe
contrarie
to
Gods
liking
,
which
notwithstanding
it
is
manifest
that
many
rich
Farmers
and
Grasiers
haue
peruerted
the
way
of
such
as
God
requireth
,
and
as
themselues
ought
to
be
.
For
it
is
true
that
with
many
of
them
,
all
is
too
little
to
the
inlarging
of
their
borders
,
as
though
they
would
liue
alone
vpon
the
earth
:
Insomuch
as
some
one
of
that
profession
haue
incroched
into
his
handes
the
occupation
of
two
or
three
Farmes
mainteyning
hardly
therevpon
so
many
persons
as
any
one
of
those
Farmes
mainteyned
before
tyme
,
when
as
they
were
occupied
by
seuerall
householders
,
in
such
wise
as
many
seruiceable
men
were
thereuppon
mainteyned
in
fewe
yeeres
past
beeing
nowe
supplied
with
a
shepheard
and
his
dogge
,
wherin
many
haue
founde
so
great
gaine
to
the
increasing
of
their
deceiuable
wealth
,
by
conuerting
their
landes
into
passuring
and
seedyng
of
sheepe
,
that
many
Landlordes
haue
bene
content
tolet
the
dwellyng
housen
of
their
Farmes
fal
downe
,
to
the
ende
to
inlarge
their
borders
by
laying
the
lands
of
two
or
three
Farmes
all
into
one
:
reseruyng
one
Cottage
or
house
therevnto
.
The
which
euill
of
late
yeares
hath
growen
the
rather
by
many
euill
disposed
and
greedy
minded
riche
Farmers
,
who
to
the
increase
of
other
priuate
gaine
seemeth
not
to
force
what
damage
such
doe
vnto
their
more
honest
playne
meanyng
neighbours
,
in
so
confused
and
preposterous
maner
:
that
often
tymes
it
so
falleth
out
,
that
by
the
lewde
practise
and
forecasting
of
some
one
,
a
great
manye
are
cast
behynde
hande
.
By
their
beyng
made
destitute
of
thatwhich
their
auncesters
had
the
vse
of
many
yeares
before
.
And
that
in
suche
reasonable
manner
,
as
one
honest
neighbour
might
be
relieuing
and
ayding
vnto
an
other
,
and
in
good
case
to
furnishe
their
Prince
accordyng
to
euery
one
in
their
callyng
.
But
nowe
say
they
the
case
is
altered
,
and
many
of
their
state
shrewdely
abated
.
In
such
sort
as
they
can
not
doe
as
their
ancestours
haue
done
in
tyme
past
,
in
the
seruite
of
their
Prince
,
nor
yet
so
to
furnishe
the
markets
with
the
fruit
of
their
labours
,
as
many
their
good
effectes
doe
desire
to
perfourme
,
which
impediment
they
say
is
the
rather
happened
vnto
them
:
by
reason
of
late
,
that
suche
haue
payde
a
great
fine
to
their
Landlord
,
for
accomplishing
whereof
,
suche
oftentymes
are
constrayned
to
sell
their
more
needfull
stock
from
their
grounde
,
or
els
they
must
paye
a
more
greater
rent
then
before
tyme
.
Whereof
in
this
age
so
many
doe
complaine
&
say
,
that
by
reason
of
so
great
euill
.
They
must
moyle
and
turmoyle
all
dayes
of
their
lyues
and
all
to
litle
,
to
the
answeryng
of
their
Landlordes
rentes
.
The
rather
by
the
vnhonest
and
greedie
myndes
of
some
suche
riche
Farmers
and
Grasiers
as
of
late
haue
seemed
to
be
more
careful
in
their
attentyuenesse
of
the
terme
of
their
neyghbours
Leases
,
then
eyther
God
or
humayne
nature
alloweth
:
with
posting
&
trying
all
meanes
possible
whereby
to
remoue
the
good
meaning
of
the
Landlordes
from
his
honest
Tenaunt
or
Farmer
,
by
vrgyng
the
Landlordes
to
hearken
to
the
euil
nature
of
priuate
gaine
:
So
as
many
a
such
vnconscionable
rich
cormorant
Farmer
letteth
slyppe
no
oportunitie
and
tyme
to
practise
the
effect
of
his
wicked
intention
in
offering
a
more
larger
fyne
or
greater
rent
then
before
the
Landlorde
made
accompt
of
,
in
so
euill
condition
as
the
euill
operation
of
priuate
gaine
hath
moued
many
Landlords
to
hearken
so
to
the
suttle
workyng
thereof
,
as
the
same
hath
wrought
many
their
honest
Tenauntes
and
Farmers
great
damage
,
and
greater
is
like
to
worke
,
vnlesse
it
may
please
God
so
to
touche
the
heartes
of
Landelordes
,
as
by
settyng
a
part
the
euil
condition
of
priuate
gayne
,
they
may
auoyde
so
great
euils
as
may
happen
thorow
so
great
an
abuse
.
Wheras
in
refourmyng
of
the
euill
,
if
Landlordes
would
retaine
to
their
Farmers
,
their
honest
Tenants
and
their
posteritie
,
in
so
good
condition
.
as
not
being
ouer
burdenous
vnto
them
:
So
shold
Landlords
not
onely
bind
vnto
them
the
hearts
of
their
honest
tennants
and
Farmers
:
But
also
thereby
shall
doe
a
deed
commendable
in
the
sight
of
God
and
man
.
The
contrary
no
doubtes
of
it
hath
alwayes
bene
a
thyng
displeasaunt
vnto
God
and
all
good
men
:
as
appeareth
in
former
ages
.
In
so
much
as
it
is
written
,
That
Iob
in
the
relating
of
his
innocency
sayth
thus
.
But
if
case
be
that
And
in
the
Prophete
Ezechiel
it
is
written
thus
:
Beholde
all
Soules
are
But
such
there
are
in
this
age
,
whose
hearts
are
so
framed
to
dwel
in
frowardnesse
,
as
to
say
,
that
these
be
not
the
daies
of
innocencie
,
what
shall
it
then
followe
:
that
their
wickednesse
would
make
them
the
daies
of
craftinesse
:
God
forbid
,
from
which
euill
wee
are
forewarned
in
the
fourth
booke
of
the
Prophet
Esdras
.
God
speaking
vnto
Esdras
,
shewyng
vnto
him
the
punishments
which
he
threateneth
to
come
vppon
euill
people
,
and
howe
hee
woulde
haue
all
that
professe
his
name
to
auoyde
the
plague
.
Who
so
keepeth
my
commaundements
and
precepts
,
sayth
the
Lorde
God
,
Let
not
your
sinnes
way
you
down
.
and
let
not
your
vnrighteousnesse
be
lifted
vp
.
Woe
be
vnto
them
that
are
subdued
vnto
their
sinnes
,
and
tangled
in
their
wickednesse
:
lyke
as
a
field
is
hedged
in
with
busshes
,
and
the
path
therof
couered
with
thorns
,
and
so
be
taken
and
cast
into
the
fyre
and
burnt
.
Hereby
all
that
professe
Christ
are
admonished
to
flee
suche
euill
wayes
,
as
lead
to
the
destruction
of
all
those
that
trauayle
therein
,
and
respecting
their
owne
priuate
gaine
,
seeme
not
to
make
any
accompt
of
wrong
doing
.
As
for
ensample
,
howe
many
nowe
in
this
age
are
so
greedily
set
vpon
couetousnes
,
as
to
incroche
into
one
mans
hands
so
many
tenements
and
houses
as
by
all
meanes
possible
hee
may
compasse
,
eyther
in
buying
the
fee-simple
,
or
els
the
graundelease
ouer
the
tennantes
heades
,
in
suche
wyse
as
hauyng
obtayned
the
same
,
and
doing
some
small
reparations
thereupon
:
then
doeth
the
new
Landlord
not
onely
inhaunce
the
rent
for
which
such
Tenements
went
before
tyme
:
But
also
the
Tenaunt
must
giue
a
large
fyne
,
besides
some
reparations
left
vndone
for
him
to
doe
,
for
the
easement
of
the
house
,
although
the
poore
Tenantes
purse
bee
so
wronged
therby
,
as
oftentymes
it
so
falleth
out
,
that
all
the
shiftes
that
hee
can
make
,
may
hardlye
recouer
so
chargeable
a
sicknesse
as
happeneth
to
many
by
suche
yll
meanes
,
in
such
sort
as
sometimes
the
tenant
groweth
in
so
weake
a
case
as
not
able
to
abyde
the
ayre
,
or
to
goe
out
of
the
dooers
,
by
reason
of
the
infection
of
priuate
gain
:
being
an
euil
in
this
case
not
much
different
from
vsury
:
and
so
muche
the
more
to
be
sorowed
,
where
the
people
can
apply
themselues
to
no
better
trade
,
then
hauing
compassed
a
peece
of
money
before
hand
,
to
frame
thereby
a
heauy
burden
wherwith
to
lade
their
poore
bretheren
,
as
it
is
too
too
true
,
that
there
are
many
suche
,
as
haue
weake
handes
,
and
feeble
knees
to
doe
good
,
but
are
strong
enough
to
keepe
down
their
weaker
brethren
.
And
very
fewe
is
the
number
that
do
labour
truely
in
the
Lords
pathwayes
in
any
their
vocations
,
but
from
time
to
time
it
is
too
manifest
howe
the
Lordes
wayes
haue
beene
peruerted
by
the
corrupt
nature
of
mankinde
in
all
ages
.
By
meanes
wherof
,
Christ
his
religion
hath
bene
greeuously
hindered
,
as
it
is
euident
by
one
notable
ensample
as
hereafter
foloweth
.
Sometyme
there
was
a
great
Turke
Soldanus
Egypti
.
who
was
touched
with
the
consideration
of
the
profession
of
Christ
his
religion
:
as
that
he
was
mooued
and
stirred
in
mynd
,
to
haue
forsaken
his
abominable
errour
and
become
a
Christian
:
So
as
he
might
bee
ascertayned
that
the
lyues
of
Christians
were
agreeable
to
their
profession
.
Wherevpon
in
the
consideration
of
his
intention
,
after
hee
had
long
pondered
with
him selfe
howe
hee
might
best
bee
resolued
in
so
weightie
a
cause
,
he
determined
to
breake
the
matter
vnto
one
nere
about
him
,
in
whome
hee
had
most
confidence
,
and
vnto
him
the
said
great
Turke
declared
the
some
of
his
intention
,
and
findyng
his
trustie
friende
readye
to
accomplishe
his
request
:
who
secretly
was
furnished
about
that
busines
:
So
that
in
short
time
he
arriued
in
some
parts
of
Italy
,
as
a
part
of
Christendom
:
to
the
end
there
to
discouer
the
maners
and
behauiours
of
the
people
,
where
bee
founde
the
maner
of
their
liuyng
,
so
farre
vnagreeable
to
the
profession
of
the
names
of
Christians
,
as
the
saide
messenger
of
the.
Turkes
,
had
no
neede
to
make
any
long
abode
in
those
partes
,
for
any
better
tryall
.
So
as
hee
hauing
attayned
the
effect
of
his
message
which
hee
had
giuen
in
charge
,
he
returned
again
from
whence
hee
came
,
and
made
relation
vnto
his
master
the
great
Turk
in
this
wise
.
True
it
is
,
that
those
people
where
I
haue
byn
in
Christendome
,
&
that
beare
the
names
of
Christians
,
doe
in
their
outwarde
appearaunce
professe
to
serue
a
Godwhom
they
knowe
note
,
and
otherwise
theyr
lyues
in
deedes
,
are
distayned
with
all
abominable
loathsome
sinne
and
wyekednesse
.
Whereuppon
the
sayd
great
Turke
hauyng
taken
some
pause
,
brake
out
in
these
speeches
or
the
lyke
.
And
is
it
so
,
then
I
decest
and
defie
them
and
theyr
religion
.
In
suche
odeous
and
reprochfull
wyse
as
may
bee
an
ensample
to
all
partes
of
Christendome
,
where
as
Christ
is
professed
in
words
,
and
contemned
in
deedes
.
In
so
much
as
we
are
to
praye
to
GOD
to
keepe
the
Turkes
spyes
out
of
this
parte
of
Christendome
,
vntyll
a
more
vnifourme
order
of
liuyng
may
bee
founde
ioyned
with
our
profession
,
in
suche
godlye
conuersation
,
as
that
Englande
especially
maye
become
a
Lanterne
to
other
our
neyghbours
,
who
haue
not
as
yet
so
large
measure
of
Gods
louyng
kyndnesse
,
as
it
hath
pleased
him
in
his
mercy
to
extende
vnto
Englande
,
aboue
other
nations
.
For
the
which
Englande
is
the
more
indebted
and
accomptable
vnto
God
:
in
the
consideration
whereof
,
euery
member
ought
to
bee
so
heedefull
in
yelding
their
due
obedience
:
as
that
if
it
were
possible
,
the
very
Turke
may
be
mooued
to
acknowledge
Christ
.
And
that
the
enemyes
spyes
may
haue
no
iuste
cause
to
vse
any
suche
manner
of
reproouyng
the
people
of
Englande
.
But
that
euerye
one
of
the
congregation
,
maye
be
stirred
to
frame
theyr
lyues
in
godly
conuersation
,
and
not
to
delyght
to
take
ensample
of
euill
doyng
:
but
rather
to
be
doing
that
which
is
good
,
and
to
edifie
with
all
.
As
not
compelled
therevnto
,
but
of
loue
and
zealous
affection
vnto
God
,
who
by
his
word
hath
left
vnto
vs
perfect
ensamples
,
howe
to
behaue
our selues
in
obedience
vnto
him
,
our
Prince
and
rulers
.
As
Saincte
Paule
to
the
Romaynes
playnely
setteth
downe
.
Let
euerye
soule
bee
subiecte
to
the
Superiour
powers
.
And
againe
in
his
Epistle
to
Titus
,
he
hath
set
downe
speciall
exhortations
,
how
those
that
professe
Christ
should
behaue
them selues
in
godly
conuersation
of
lyfe
.
(
But
alas
)
there
are
a
number
of
people
in
this
age
,
both
men
&
women
,
who
by
the
settyng
on
of
the
couetous
Deuill
,
and
the
consent
of
dilobedience
,
doe
not
cease
to
take
in
hand
many
wicked
deeds
and
euill
actions
,
the
most
parte
whereof
are
yet
vntolde
.
In
so
much
as
it
may
be
sayde
,
who
might
offende
,
and
hath
not
offended
?
Wherefore
let
euerye
one
in
tyme
refraine
from
their
froward
waies
,
and
to
cease
from
committyng
of
sinne
with
greedines
.
And
not
so
to
ouerweene
or
thinke
of
them selues
,
to
be
suche
as
in
deed
they
are
not
.
For
it
is
true
that
although
any
man
or
woman
doe
possesse
beautie
or
riches
or
any
other
good
gift
,
yet
suche
thinges
are
vnperfite
in
vs
,
so
long
as
wee
doe
remayne
in
this
vayle
of
miseryes
,
as
our
sundry
imperfections
do
declare
.
But
all
are
as
a
lumpe
of
clay
lying
vppon
the
face
of
the
earth
remayning
at
the
choyse
and
will
of
the
Potter
to
apply
and
woorke
it
at
his
pleasure
:
who
oftentymes
in
the
workyng
,
findeth
the
clay
to
fram●
but
badly
to
the
workemans
mynde
,
by
reason
of
the
sundry
imperfections
which
lye
hidden
therein
.
Whereby
the
same
becommeth
in
the
woorkyng
so
full
of
crackes
and
flawes
,
not
sitting
to
the
vse
for
which
it
was
ment
in
the
workemans
beginnyng
.
And
so
oftentymes
it
falleth
out
with
All
which
notwithstandyng
,
mans
heart
seemeth
oftentymes
to
be
so
wrapped
in
ignoraunce
and
disobedience
,
as
hardly
many
may
bee
brought
to
yelde
vnto
the
trueth
.
Wherin
is
to
be
remembred
,
that
GOD
hath
so
ordayned
that
weedes
and
thistles
shoulde
growe
vp
among
good
corne
.
To
the
end
that
when
the
haruest
commeth
,
the
good
and
iuste
husbandman
may
clense
the
good
corne
from
the
Teares
and
Fetches
.
The
good
corne
with
ioye
to
be
housed
in
the
barne
,
and
the
Tares
and
Fetches
to
remayne
for
euerlasting
fyre
.
Euen
so
hath
God
placed
vppon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
of
people
,
wicked
and
frowarde
,
good
and
bad
,
riche
and
poore
,
not
to
the
end
that
any
should
vaunt
them selues
of
their
larger
measure
distributed
thorowe
Gods
mercyes
.
Whereby
rich
men
are
forbidden
to
lift
vp
them selues
in
the
glory
of
their
riches
,
and
pore
men
not
to
be
dismayde
or
discouraged
thorow
their
poore
pouertie
.
For
what
God
hath
done
his
omnipotencie
hath
done
that
same
with
a
condition
which
he
will
haue
held
firme
vnto
him selfe
.
That
is
,
that
euery
man
shal
agayne
forgo
the
things
which
in
this
lyfe
hee
nowe
possesseth
,
be
it
litle
or
muche
,
at
a
tyme
appoynted
,
with
a
promise
that
hee
will
giue
vnto
euery
one
newe
possessions
,
&
to
euery
man
accordyng
to
his
deseruyng
.
The
consideration
whereof
,
of
late
yeares
hath
seemed
to
bee
out
of
moste
peoples
thoughtes
,
as
may
easilye
bee
discerned
,
by
reason
.
That
notwithstandyng
,
it
doeth
rest
in
the
pleasure
and
displeasure
of
almightie
God
,
to
take
the
aduantage
of
euery
condition
broken
,
and
forfeiture
:
Yet
note
I
pray
you
the
precise
dealings
betwyxt
worldly
men
,
howe
strickt
they
are
in
executyng
the
penalties
of
bondes
,
against
suche
as
are
indebted
vnto
them
,
and
in
makyng
of
contractes
and
bargaynes
to
their
owne
auayle
howe
carefull
such
wil
be
touching
bonds
with
conditions
,
some
tymes
in
taking
aduantage
of
the
penaltie
,
lettyng
no
day
nor
houre
ouer
slyp
in
that
behalfe
.
Albeit
,
concernyng
many
their
more
duetifull
care
vnto
God
,
in
keepyng
couenaunt
with
him
,
such
shew
themselues
in
a
manner
carelesse
.
In
so
much
as
it
is
to
be
feared
,
that
all
those
that
doe
so
wilfully
throwe
them selues
indebted
vnto
God
,
and
thrall
to
Satan
,
some
by
one
sinne
,
and
some
by
an
other
:
who
in
the
ende
,
vnlesse
they
looke
better
vnto
them selues
in
tyme
,
will
be
driuen
to
playe
the
parts
of
yll
debters
,
who
vpon
knowledge
of
their
creditor
,
his
beeyng
neare
at
hande
vpon
commyng
,
will
seeke
to
hyde
them selues
,
to
shunne
his
presence
,
for
auoidyng
of
so
great
penalties
as
many
in
this
age
,
doe
seeme
wilfully
to
subiect
them selues
vnto
.
Beyng
warned
to
auoyde
so
great
ignorance
,
as
that
any
creature
may
hide
him self
from
the
presences
of
the
almightie
,
for
our
own
sinnes
wil
finde
vs
out
,
at
what
time
God
shall
he
of
power
,
euen
in
the
twinckeling
of
an
eye
,
to
take
the
aduantage
of
all
penalties
,
and
therevpon
to
awarde
a
heauy
sentence
for
inuiolating
and
breaking
his
couenauntes
and
commaundementes
,
which
when
wee
wretched
creatures
doe
examine
in
our selues
howe
we
haue
perfourmed
them
,
we
shall
finde
our selues
so
guiltie
by
our
manifolde
transgressions
and
disobedience
,
and
so
vnprouided
to
make
satisfaction
,
that
when
we
shal
be
summoned
to
answer
to
the
plaint
which
shall
bee
layde
agaynst
vs
in
the
great
day
of
the
Lorde
,
where
euery
one
shall
heare
it
sayde
thus
vnto
them
,
howe
haste
thou
liued
,
render
accompt
of
thy
Bailiwicke
,
and
howe
thou
hast
bestowed
thy
Talent
.
Wherevnto
we
shall
not
bee
able
to
pleade
one
woorde
agaynst
a
thousande
.
In
so
much
as
I
see
no
way
but
that
here
in
this
lyfe
while
wee
are
in
the
way
,
that
euery
one
doe
seeke
in
tyme
to
agree
with
so
mercifull
a
creditour
before
wee
come
to
exegent
of
outlawry
,
which
we
may
with
lesse
cost
doe
,
than
to
put
in
a
Super
sedeas
at
the
common
lawe
.
For
he
is
a
merrifull
Iudge
&
easie
to
be
intreated
.
But
if
we
let
the
matter
runne
to
far
,
the
charge
will
be
the
greater
,
and
the
pleadyng
of
ignorance
will
be
nothing
auayleable
.
As
to
say
,
that
we
were
deceiued
,
as
Eue
aunswered
vnto
God
,
for
the
same
shall
rather
be
a
witnesse
against
vs
,
because
that
by
her
came
the
first
fail
,
from
innocencie
into
sinne
.
Whereby
we
are
forewarned
that
where
shee
fell
once
in
eatyng
of
the
forbidden
fruice
,
wee
sinfull
creatures
doe
fall
euery
day
and
houre
.
In
so
much
,
as
here
I
may
say
,
Who
is
he
that
can
number
his
owne
sinnes
.
Wherefore
seeyng
that
no
man
may
escape
the
day
of
the
Lorde
of
Hostes
:
Let
vs
ail
while
he
offereth
him self
vnto
vs
,
seeke
by
all
meanes
possible
to
shake
of
the
fetters
of
our
sins
,
wherein
we
are
bounde
.
And
this
is
to
bee
done
by
no
other
meanes
then
wholly
to
commyt
our selues
vnto
the
mercyes
of
our
eternall
God
,
and
by
our
earnest
and
daily
prayers
to
endeuour
our selues
to
obtain
his
fauour
by
repentaunce
and
mortification
,
refrayning
from
committing
of
sin
and
wickednesse
:
for
late
repentance
falleth
out
sildome
to
bee
true
repentaunce
.
Wherefore
in
this
tyme
of
grace
,
it
behooueth
vs
to
be
thankfull
to
God
,
and
kynde
to
our
neighbours
:
Accordyng
to
this
doctrine
of
Toby
,
My
sonne
do
good
A
briefe
remembrance
for
the
poore
afflicted
.
FOrasmuch
as
GOD
will
haue
it
knowen
what
a
ready
meanes
affliction
is
,
to
come
vnto
Christ
:
It
must
not
bee
vnderstoode
,
but
that
afflictions
do
as
well
happen
to
rich
as
vnto
poore
:
for
none
doeth
alwayes
enioy
suche
freedom
but
that
at
sometymes
are
touched
with
some
greeuance
or
affsiction
either
in
body
or
mynde
.
Albeit
,
the
poorer
sort
doe
beare
it
in
a
more
harder
maner
,
by
reason
of
their
poore
pouertie
,
not
hauyng
wherewith
to
withstande
the
colde
,
nor
to
feede
their
hungry
bodyes
in
so
large
a
condition
as
many
riche
haue
.
And
as
there
are
many
riche
that
seeme
not
to
knowe
what
it
is
to
be
riche
in
God
,
so
are
there
many
poore
that
do
abuse
their
pouertie
,
and
as
Hypocrites
doe
deceiue
,
and
as
it
were
robbe
from
the
good
poore
,
the
charitable
deuotion
of
godlye
disposed
people
touched
with
a
pitiful
affection
vnto
all
.
But
often
it
falleth
so
out
that
there
are
some
suche
as
doe
declare
them selues
hypocrite
poore
,
that
can
handle
their
profession
in
so
lothsome
a
maner
,
as
suche
are
hardly
to
be
discouered
,
because
of
their
decestable
&
vngratious
practise
,
vnder
the
vile
cloake
of
deepe
dissimulation
,
in
makyng
an
occupation
of
their
more
miserable
estates
.
And
such
ought
to
bee
sifted
out
of
euery
common
wealth
,
as
chaffe
from
among
good
corne
:
And
the
cause
to
be
examined
,
howe
euery
suche
hath
growne
into
so
miserable
estate
,
which
beyng
founde
to
be
by
any
euill
practice
or
behauiour
,
then
a
condigne
punishment
to
be
ministred
:
and
to
be
set
to
some
worke
and
labour
whereby
to
earne
their
liuyng
,
and
being
found
to
be
framed
to
any
goodnesse
,
then
suche
to
be
dealt
with
all
according
as
God
hath
wrought
the
lyke
effect
of
late
in
London
,
whereas
suche
are
prouided
for
,
to
the
great
commendation
of
the
same
Citie
,
in
relieuyng
the
lame
and
impotent
,
and
reforming
the
abuses
of
such
euil
persons
as
may
not
otherwise
be
reclaimed
.
And
that
poore
children
might
supply
the
places
which
nowe
the
deuices
of
turnspits
and
Dogges
doe
furnishe
.
And
that
it
should
not
be
lawfull
for
the
parentes
of
suche
children
to
intice
them
away
being
once
placed
,
nor
to
departe
tyll
they
had
continued
the
full
terme
of
yeares
,
for
which
such
were
bound
,
and
then
to
make
choyce
what
facultie
suche
will
folow
for
their
better
prouision
of
liuyng
,
accordyng
to
their
towardnesse
.
For
it
is
written
,
if
one
of
thy
brethren
among
you
bee
If
thy
brother
an
Ebrew
sell
him selfe
vnto
thee
,
or
an
Ebruesse
,
and
serue
thee
sixe
yeares
,
the
seuenth
yeare
thou
shalt
let
him
goe
free
from
thee
,
&
when
thou
sendest
him
out
free
from
thee
,
thou
shalt
not
let
him
go
away
emptie
:
but
shal
giue
him
of
thy
sheepe
,
of
thy
corne
,
and
of
thy
wyne
:
and
giue
him
of
that
wherewith
the
Lord
thy
God
hath
blessed
thee
.
And
remember
that
thou
wast
a
seruant
in
the
land
of
Egypt
,
&
the
Lord
thy
God
deliuered
thee
thence
,
and
therefore
this
thyng
I
commaund
thee
this
day
:
And
the
same
God
hath
commaunded
children
to
doe
their
dueties
with
diligence
,
As
it
is
written
in
Saint
Paul
to
the
Ephesians
,
in
his
first
Epistle
:
Children
Seruants
be
obedient
vnto
your
earthly
maisters
,
with
feare
and
trembling
,
in
For
with
God
there
is
no
respecte
of
persons
.
And
to
the
ende
that
euery
one
in
generall
,
both
men
and
women
,
should
haue
a
due
consideration
of
the
benifites
done
vnto
mankinde
in
his
first
creation
.
God
hath
placed
mankinde
here
vppon
the
earth
,
makyng
him
capable
of
reason
,
with
his
eyes
so
framed
,
as
in
the
course
of
this
mortall
lyfe
,
euery
one
both
riche
and
poore
,
high
and
low
,
Publican
and
Pharisie
,
should
not
be
forgetfull
of
the
wonderfull
omnipotencie
of
God
in
our
beholding
the
Heauers
,
with
the
ornamentes
thereof
.
Where
the
Sunne
,
the
Moone
,
and
the
Starres
,
doe
all
obserue
their
course
in
due
order
,
to
the
end
to
put
all
mankynde
in
remembraunce
of
our
obedience
wherevnto
wee
were
framed
in
our
first
creation
:
which
benifite
of
creation
,
as
it
was
and
is
denied
to
all
other
creatures
besides
:
who
as
they
are
voyde
of
reason
,
whereof
and
wherefore
they
were
made
and
created
.
So
do
they
take
their
turnes
in
commyng
vppon
the
earth
,
and
passyng
agayne
without
any
further
memory
to
be
had
of
any
of
them
.
But
man
ought
not
to
be
ignoraunt
,
that
seeyng
almightie
God
hath
dealt
so
bountifully
with
him
,
as
to
make
him
Lorde
ouer
all
other
creatures
in
obeying
him
:
So
is
man
him selfe
bounde
to
the
more
strickter
fourme
of
obedience
vnto
God
,
for
so
many
and
sundry
his
benefites
receiued
:
whereby
all
mankynde
is
admonished
,
that
forasmuch
as
all
other
things
are
ordeyned
for
the
necessitie
and
vse
o●
man
:
so
should
man
be
more
carefull
for
the
thinges
apperteyning
to
the
hungering
of
our
sinfull
soules
:
then
for
the
feedyng
and
pampering
of
our
carnall
and
mortall
bodyes
,
which
in
Spanishe
is
so
rightly
applyed
,
where
a
man
is
called
Vmbra
,
which
by
interpretation
is
a
shadow
,
which
notwithstanding
daily
experience
teacheth
,
that
a
more
estimation
and
care
is
had
for
so
vnstable
a
bodye
,
neglectyng
the
prouision
of
our
soules
,
which
●ught
to
be
prouided
for
,
and
esteemed
aboue
all
the
Iewels
in
this
miserable
worlde
.
And
thervpon
Christ
in
his
rebuking
Euen
so
are
there
many
in
this
age
,
who
do
seeme
outwardly
to
be
righteous
and
so
would
bee
reputed
and
taken
:
but
within
are
full
of
all
fainednesse
and
iniquitie
.
Vpon
such
lyke
occasion
,
S.
Peter
in
As
it
is
testified
in
the
scripture
,
Beholde
I
put
in
Sion
an
head
cornet
stone
,
elect
and
precious
:
and
he
that
beleeueth
on
him
,
shall
not
bee
ashamed
:
vnto
you
therefore
which
beleeue
,
hee
is
precious
,
but
vnto
them
which
beleeue
not
,
the
stone
which
the
builders
refused
,
the
same
is
made
the
heade
stone
in
the
corner
:
and
a
stone
to
stumble
at
,
and
a
rocke
to
offende
them
which
stumble
at
the
worde
,
and
beleeue
not
that
,
whereon
they
were
set
.
Wherefore
to
the
ende
that
wee
may
Wherein
is
to
bee
noted
,
the
fruite
of
the
workmens
diligence
.
In
the
perfourmance
whereof
,
it
doeth
appeare
,
eche
workeman
to
haue
well
&
sufficiently
discharged
their
seuerall
charge
and
vocations
,
to
the
well
likyng
of
the
Founders
and
beholders
.
In
such
wise
,
as
when
it
is
considered
what
benifite
and
commoditie
is
lyke
in
short
processe
of
tyme
to
grow
to
the
founders
therof
:
Then
is
it
not
to
be
thought
to
haue
beene
more
chargeable
then
in
tyme
the
same
may
be
profitable
.
Which
stately
building
being
compared
with
the
reedifiyng
and
building
vp
of
the
house
of
God
,
which
consisteth
not
in
Temples
made
with
stones
,
according
to
the
traditions
of
men
:
Albeit
,
God
Samuel
.
When
it
repented
God
that
euer
he
had
made
Saul
Kyng
by
reason
of
his
disobedience
.
Albeit
,
Saul
had
spared
the
best
of
the
sheepe
and
of
the
Oxen
of
the
Amalekites
,
to
sacrifice
them
vnto
the
Lorde
.
Wherein
Saul
obeyed
and
hearkened
vnto
the
voyce
of
the
people
,
and
turned
away
from
the
worde
of
the
Lord
.
In
so
muche
as
it
was
tolde
Saul
by
Samuell
.
That
forasmuche
as
he
had
cast
away
the
worde
of
the
Lorde
.
The
Lorde
would
cast
away
Saul
,
and
rent
away
his
kyngdome
from
him
.
In
which
parcell
of
scripture
it
is
woorthely
to
bee
noted
,
howe
muche
God
hath
beene
pleased
in
former
ages
with
obedience
,
and
displeased
with
the
contrary
.
As
this
one
exsample
may
lead
vs
vnto
.
That
the
voyce
of
a
man
may
awake
one
out
of
sleepe
:
So
that
hee
beginneth
to
start
and
aryse
,
but
then
if
hee
straight
wayes
falleth
a
sleepe
agayne
,
vntyll
we
see
him
stande
and
goe
,
wee
may
not
truely
say
he
is
perfectly
awaked
.
Albeit
,
in
folowing
&
obeying
Christ
,
it
is
not
ment
that
wee
neyther
can
,
nor
must
doe
all
things
that
he
hath
done
before
vs
:
but
to
folowe
him
in
godly
conuersation
of
lyfe
and
obedience
as
neare
as
we
may
,
otherwyse
what
doeth
it
auayle
to
professe
much
,
and
to
practice
litle
.
Wherby
we
are
admonished
to
ioyne
practice
with
our
profession
,
in
the
repairing
and
building
vp
of
the
house
of
God
,
in
all
godlinesse
and
humilitie
:
and
with
more
diligence
and
care
then
was
vsed
in
&
about
the
reedifiyng
of
the
foresaide
building
of
London
Bridge
,
which
as
you
may
perceiue
in
the
former
discourse
was
not
easily
perfourmed
without
great
cost
and
labour
.
So
ought
all
Christians
to
bende
them selues
to
the
vttermost
of
Manasses
,
against
Ephraim
,
and
Ephraim
,
against
Manasses
,
and
both
against
Iuda
:
Lest
God
beholdyng
suche
a
confusion
,
come
and
say
vnto
thee
,
as
vnto
the
figge
In
consideration
whereof
,
it
is
to
bee
noted
,
that
although
the
founders
vnder
God
of
his
house
here
in
England
,
which
God
euer
mainteyne
and
increase
,
are
nowe
willyng
,
&
haue
bene
of
long
tyme
with
the
aduise
of
the
best
workmen
that
might
be
had
,
in
so
carefull
a
worke
,
and
about
so
weightie
a
cause
,
suche
as
God
be
thanked
haue
not
seassed
to
take
great
paynes
in
Englande
,
for
the
perfecting
of
so
woorthie
a
worke
,
and
therein
many
good
people
about
London
and
in
other
places
haue
and
doe
declare
them selues
very
studious
and
paynfull
to
haue
the
same
perfourmed
.
In
so
muche
as
God
be
praysed
there
are
some
certaine
,
that
willingly
and
gladly
doe
shew
them selues
to
bee
faythfull
labourers
in
the
house
of
God
.
But
the
greater
number
besides
,
seeme
to
be
suche
as
in
very
deed
woulde
be
accompted
good
labourers
in
Gods
Vineyarde
,
who
in
deedes
doe
appeare
playne
,
to
bee
but
Loyterers
,
when
as
the
maister
of
the
Vineyarde
shall
come
to
tryall
.
It
is
true
,
hee
wyll
not
deny
his
good
Stewardes
,
Bailiffes
,
and
faythfull
seruauntes
their
due
rewarde
:
At
what
tyme
all
the
contrery
will
be
founde
to
be
too
too
negligent
in
suche
their
duetifull
businesse
,
some
of
obstinate
,
frowarde
,
and
malicious
myndes
,
and
some
by
foolishe
ignoraunce
,
lyke
vnto
the
fyue
foolishe
Virgines
.
And
many
suche
as
doe
flatter
But
alas
,
what
may
be
sayd
or
thought
of
suche
as
doe
deferre
and
set
off
their
commyng
into
the
Lordes
Vineyarde
,
euen
vntyll
their
laste
houre
.
And
then
perhaps
doe
as
it
were
looke
ouer
the
hedge
,
and
doe
commyt
their
good
deeds
to
bee
sent
after
them
by
Executors
,
in
hope
to
receiue
their
rewarde
with
the
first
.
Wherein
is
not
to
be
forgotten
,
that
although
our
heauenly
husbandman
,
hath
dealt
and
doeth
deale
so
fauourably
in
his
mercyes
,
with
so
many
as
hee
findeth
sorowful
and
careful
to
lyue
with
him
.
And
not
obstinately
or
willingly
to
pine
them selues
away
for
want
of
a
litle
paines
taking
,
wherby
to
procure
vnto
themselues
foode
and
rewarde
,
which
I
doe
so
muche
the
more
lament
,
whyle
I
doe
beholde
a
number
whose
lyues
doe
bewray
that
they
care
not
to
haue
to
do
with
God
nor
his
house
,
suche
as
may
not
be
persuaded
to
enter
into
the
same
,
and
other
some
such
and
that
for
the
most
parte
,
who
if
they
happen
a
litle
to
enter
in
,
they
soone
wax
weary
,
and
so
stealeth
foorth
againe
.
In
so
much
as
it
is
very
doubtfull
,
that
any
suche
shall
haue
any
part
of
reward
with
the
true
labourers
:
but
rather
shal
want
foode
when
as
they
shall
be
hungrye
and
thirstie
,
and
shall
alwayes
be
drye
.
And
so
in
case
to
perish
for
want
of
that
which
they
so
contemptuously
and
negligently
refused
,
when
the
large
measure
was
offered
vnto
them
through
Christ
his
merites
and
louing
kindnesse
.
In
so
muche
as
rather
it
is
to
be
desired
that
all
those
that
haue
any
feeling
desire
in
them
selus
to
come
into
the
Lordes
Vineyarde
,
and
to
dwell
with
God
in
his
euerlasting
mansion
,
may
refuse
no
paynes
to
bee
ioyned
vnto
him
in
ioyfull
gladnesse
of
Ghostly
rauishing
,
which
is
to
be
sought
from
the
high
to
the
lowe
,
with
all
due
humilitie
&
reuerence
vnto
God
,
loue
to
our
neighbours
,
&
obedience
vnto
our
soueraigne
,
vdder
whose
protection
next
vnder
God
,
we
doe
enioye
our
being
and
continuyng
in
so
good
a
woorke
,
for
the
which
euery
true
member
of
England
is
bound
daily
and
hourely
to
pray
vnto
God
,
that
so
good
a
foundation
of
the
house
of
GOD
may
become
so
well
framed
and
perfected
,
as
to
encrease
&
remayne
vnremoueable
,
to
the
euerlasting
comfort
of
all
the
professors
:
As
is
testified
by
the
scriptures
.
The
earth
shall
fayle
,
&
all
things
By
these
words
,
some
may
doubt
what
they
ought
to
doe
in
so
weightie
a
matter
,
it
is
in
these
fewe
wordes
declared
.
That
wee
ought
to
preferre
the
glory
of
So
shall
we
bee
sure
that
though
all
the
worlde
besides
were
in
an
vprore
and
troubles
:
Though
warres
and
contentions
,
plagues
,
&
pestilence
,
and
all
inconueniences
were
round
about
vs
,
yet
shold
we
be
defended
and
protected
.
For
so
is
Gods
louyng
promises
vnto
so
many
,
as
with
willyng
and
obedient
heartes
doe
seeke
to
be
preserued
in
his
folde
,
expressing
their
inwarde
desires
,
by
their
outward
conuersation
and
actions
.
By
reason
whereof
,
many
haue
beene
stirred
to
forsake
their
froward
wayes
:
and
return
vnto
the
Lord
,
by
ensample
of
Kyng
Ezechia
,
as
foloweth
.
And
Ezechia
sent
Iuda
,
and
wrote
letters
to
Ephraim
and
Manasses
,
that
they
shold
come
to
the
house
of
the
Lorde
at
Ierusalem
,
&
offer
passeouer
vnto
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
.
And
the
Kyng
helde
a
counsell
with
his
Lordes
,
&
all
the
congregation
at
Ierusalem
to
keepe
the
feast
of
passeouer
in
the
seconde
moneth
.
And
the
tenour
of
his
letters
was
this
:
You
sonnes
of
Israel
,
returne
to
the
Lorde
God
of
Abraham
,
Isaac
&
Iacob
,
and
he
shall
returne
to
the
residue
that
resteth
from
the
handes
of
Assur
.
Be
not
as
your
fathers
,
and
as
your
brethren
were
,
who
haue
transgressed
against
the
Lorde
God
of
their
Fathers
,
who
hath
made
them
desolate
as
you
see
.
Holde
not
your
heartes
therefore
.
But
giue
your
hands
to
the
Lorde
,
returne
to
his
Sanctuary
,
serue
him
and
hee
shall
.
shewe
mercy
vnto
you
,
to
your
sonnes
and
daughters
that
be
in
bondage
,
for
he
is
pitifull
and
easie
to
bee
entreated
.
Thus
farre
dyd
Ezechias
by
letters
and
messengers
prouoke
the
people
declined
from
God
,
to
repentaunce
,
not
onely
in
Iuda
where
he
raygned
lawfull
Kyng
,
but
also
in
Israel
,
subiecte
then
to
an
other
Kyng
.
And
albeit
,
that
by
some
wicked
men
,
his
messengers
were
mocked
,
so
lacked
they
not
theyr
iust
punishmentes
:
For
within
sixe
yeares
after
Samaria
,
was
destroyed
,
and
Israel
ledde
captyue
by
Salmanazar
.
So
dyd
not
this
zealous
King
Ezechias
desist
to
prosecute
his
dutie
in
restoring
the
religion
to
Gods
perfect
ordinance
,
remauyng
all
wickednes
.
And
again
,
in
the
Prophecie
of
Ezechiel
,
it
is
written
thus
:
If
a
man
nowe
So
is
it
required
at
the
handes
of
all
good
Gouernors
in
this
age
,
that
the
order
Lo
these
are
the
people
whome
God
hath
chosen
vnto
him selfe
,
and
that
the
troubles
of
our
neyghbours
may
sounde
a
continuall
watche
worde
in
our
eares
,
to
amendment
of
our
former
euil
liuing
,
or
els
wee
may
assure
our selues
,
that
wee
doe
but
hasten
the
lyke
measure
of
Gods
displeasure
towardes
vs
,
which
I
pray
God
graunt
to
keepe
farre
from
Englande
.
And
in
the
manner
of
our
returnyng
,
let
vs
take
and
sette
before
our
tyes
,
this
holesome
doctryne
of
Saint
Paule
to
Timothie
,
in
his
fyrst
Epistle
.
I
exhort
therfore
that
aboue
all
things
,
Prayers
,
supplications
,
intercessions
,
and
giuyng
of
thanks
be
had
for
all
men
:
For
Kynges
and
all
that
are
in
authoritie
,
that
wee
may
lyue
a
quyet
and
a
peaceable
lyfe
,
with
all
godlinesse
and
honestie
.
For
that
is
good
and
expedient
in
the
sight
of
GOD
our
Sauiour
,
which
will
haue
all
men
to
bee
saued
,
and
to
come
vnto
the
knowledge
of
the
trueth
:
For
there
is
one
God
and
one
Mediatour
,
betwixt
God
and
man
:
Euen
the
man
Christ
Iesus
,
which
gaue
him selfe
a
raunsome
for
all
men
.
That
it
should
bee
testified
at
this
tyme
,
I
tell
the
trueth
in
Christ
and
lye
not
.
Beyng
the
teachers
of
the
Gentiles
with
fayth
and
veritie
.
I
will
therefore
that
the
men
pray
euery
where
,
liftyng
vp
pure
handes
without
wrath
or
doubting
.
Likewyse
also
the
women
,
that
they
aray
them selues
in
comely
apparel
,
with
shamefastnesse
and
discreete
behauiour
,
not
with
broydered
heare
,
eyther
gold
,
or
pearles
,
or
costly
aray
:
but
as
becommeth
women
that
professe
godlines
thorow
good
works
.
Let
the
women
learne
in
silence
with
all
subiection
,
in
such
wise
as
all
suche
as
pray
,
may
obtaine
the
benefit
of
prayer
,
which
ought
to
be
framed
in
all
zealous
maner
,
and
with
such
a
dutifull
obedience
as
we
doe
owe
vnto
God
in
making
our
prayers
and
supplications
:
As
we
haue
sundrye
ensamples
set
owne
vnto
vs
by
the
word
of
God
.
First
,
howe
Christ
him selfe
when
he
prayed
vnto
God
the
Father
,
that
if
it
were
his
will
,
the
bitter
cup
of
his
passion
might
passe
away
from
him
,
not
for
that
Christ
was
afrayd
of
death
,
but
that
hee
woulde
leaue
vnto
all
his
Disciples
the
true
fourme
of
prayer
,
desiryng
nothing
but
that
which
is
good
,
and
to
edifie
with
all
,
and
alwayes
to
commyt
our
willes
vnto
his
will
:
not
that
our
will
be
done
,
but
that
his
will
be
done
,
and
fulfilled
,
with
such
obedience
as
Christ
,
when
And
also
Moyses
&
Aaron
when
they
prayed
for
the
people
of
Israel
,
it
appeareth
that
they
did
it
with
their
hands
holden
vp
,
and
their
eyes
lookyng
vp
vnto
heauen
,
Pharao
,
the
plagues
seased
.
Abraham
liftyng
vp
his
eyes
,
sawe
Isaac
.
Abraham
for
the
Sodomytes
,
Moyses
for
the
fathers
that
sinned
in
the
wildernesse
:
Samuel
,
and
Dauid
,
for
the
destruction
:
and
Solomon
,
for
them
that
came
into
the
Temple
:
and
Elias
,
for
them
that
Ezechias
,
for
the
people
in
the
tyme
of
Senacharib
.
And
all
those
receiued
the
fruit
of
their
prayers
.
And
in
this
our
age
,
no
doubt
of
it
,
by
the
good
prayers
of
godly
men
powred
out
before
the
Lorde
God
,
for
the
beholdyng
of
the
people
of
Englande
,
in
suche
an
acceptable
a
tyme
,
as
God
hath
bene
mooued
in
his
mercyes
to
protect
his
flocke
hitherto
in
a
miraculous
wyse
,
with
nowe
full
twentie
yeares
past
of
returnyng
,
which
large
tyme
no
doubt
of
it
,
hath
pleased
God
in
his
mercy
to
vouchsafe
to
assigne
vnto
vs
the
people
of
England
,
the
rather
for
the
good
affection
which
he
hath
and
doth
beare
vnto
our
so
gratious
and
soueraigne
Queene
,
vnder
whom
by
Gods
permission
we
do
enioye
such
good
blessings
,
as
Moyses
gaue
vnto
the
Tribes
of
Israel
,
in
time
of
their
continuing
in
Gods
commandements
&
ordinances
,
who
is
like
vnto
the
people
.
Thou
art
saued
in
the
Lord
,
which
is
the
shield
of
thy
helpe
,
&
sword
of
thy
glory
.
Thine
enimyes
haue
lost
their
strength
to
thee
ward
,
&
thou
shalt
treade
vpon
the
height
of
them
.
But
then
it
foloweth
,
that
when
And
for
that
cause
doe
all
the
godly
Preachers
crye
out
daily
foorth
of
the
worde
of
God
,
Repent
betymes
as
wee
all
doe
admonish
yee
,
repent
,
for
your
contempt
and
wickednesse
so
plainely
committed
,
in
so
blessed
a
tyme
as
God
was
not
more
professed
in
woordes
in
many
yeares
before
.
But
alas
,
too
too
farre
out
of
the
way
in
deedes
:
wherfore
we
are
stil
called
to
repent
,
for
repentance
is
the
onely
way
of
our
redresse
&
deliuerance
.
For
,
dyd
God
euer
so
long
spare
anye
whome
he
hath
taught
by
his
Prophets
without
some
euident
repentaunce
:
Or
vseth
any
father
to
pardon
his
childe
,
without
some
token
of
amendment
:
Consider
howe
the
Lord
hath
intreated
Israel
and
Iuda
,
his
owne
people
.
Howe
ofte
they
trespassed
,
and
howe
he
gaue
them
ouer
into
the
handes
of
their
enemyes
.
But
when
so
euer
they
repented
and
turned
againe
to
God
vnfeignedly
,
he
sent
them
Iudges
and
deliuerers
,
Kyngs
and
Sauiours
.
This
way
then
of
repentance
and
vnfeigned
turnyng
vnto
God
by
obedience
,
is
the
onely
way
before
God
accepted
and
allowed
.
Therfore
was
Noah
sent
into
the
old
worlde
to
bring
this
doctrine
of
repentance
,
and
all
the
olde
Prophets
,
as
Elias
,
Eliseus
,
Esaias
,
Ieremias
,
and
Malichias
,
and
hee
who
excelled
all
the
Prophets
,
Iohn
Baptist
,
whose
sharpe
rebukes
for
sinnes
woulde
nowe
be
hardly
abyde
and
suffered
.
Yet
are
they
not
vnfittyng
to
this
age
,
for
that
the
same
spirite
stil
striueth
against
the
malice
of
our
tyme
.
Albeit
,
in
diuers
sortes
and
fashions
Noah
pronounced
that
within
an
hundreth
and
twentie
yeares
all
fleshe
shoulde
bee
destroyed
.
Wee
haue
many
Noahs
that
doe
crye
in
our
tymes
,
yet
fewe
repent
.
All
that
tyme
that
Noah
was
preparyng
of
the
Arke
,
to
auoyde
Gods
vengeance
,
the
multitude
derided
this
holy
Prophete
,
as
many
nowe
doe
make
a
scoffe
at
all
them
that
by
obedience
to
Gods
worde
,
seeke
the
meanes
appoynted
to
auoyde
Gods
indignation
and
iudgements
.
Then
the
people
wold
not
repent
:
but
as
they
shoulde
lyue
for
euer
,
they
maryed
,
they
banquetted
,
they
builded
,
they
planted
,
but
not
in
God
.
And
so
it
is
muche
to
be
feared
,
that
in
this
age
,
there
are
many
that
do
the
like
:
they
marry
,
but
not
in
God
:
they
builde
,
but
not
in
trueth
and
righteousnesse
:
and
therefore
because
their
buildyng
is
not
accordyng
to
Gods
direction
,
they
know
not
howe
soone
it
shall
fall
downe
.
And
that
it
may
appeare
howe
God
hath
vse●
to
call
those
that
he
would
haue
saued
in
former
ages
,
I
haue
thought
good
to
set
downe
certaine
places
of
the
scriptures
,
because
euery
one
hath
not
to
buye
the
whole
booke
.
The
Prophet
Ieremy
setteth
downe
a
very
notable
ensample
,
what
returnyng
God
requireth
of
his
people
,
O
Israel
,
if
thou
wilt
turne
thee
then
vnto
me
,
saith
the
Lorde
,
and
if
thou
wylt
put
away
thine
abominations
out
of
my
sight
,
thou
shalt
not
be
mooued
,
and
shalt
sweare
the
Lorde
liueth
,
in
trueth
,
in
equitie
,
and
righteousnesse
,
And
the
people
shall
be
fortunable
,
and
ioyfull
in
him
.
For
saith
the
Lorde
to
all
Iuda
and
Ierusalem
,
Plough
your
lande
and
sowe
not
among
thornes
,
be
circumcised
in
the
Lorde
,
and
cut
away
the
foreskyn
of
your
heartes
,
all
yee
of
Iuda
,
and
the
indwellers
of
Ierusalem
:
that
my
indignation
breake
not
out
lyke
fyre
,
and
kindle
so
that
no
man
may
quenche
it
because
of
the
wickednesse
of
your
imaginations
.
Here
it
is
to
bee
noted
,
that
there
is
a
great
difference
betwyxt
the
visible
fyre
and
a
paynted
fyre
.
Moreouer
,
thus
sayeth
the
Lorde
,
When
I
haue
taken
in
hand
to
rootout
,
Agayne
,
when
I
take
in
hand
to
build
,
or
to
plante
a
people
or
kingdome
,
if
the
same
people
doe
euil
before
me
,
and
heare
not
my
voyce
:
I
repente
of
the
good
which
I
deuysed
to
doe
for
them
.
Speake
nowe
vnto
Iuda
,
Thus
sayeth
the
Lorde
,
Beholde
,
I
am
deuising
a
plague
for
you
:
therefore
let
euery
man
returne
from
his
euill
wayes
,
and
do
the
thyng
that
is
good
and
right
.
And
in
the
Prophecie
of
Esai
,
Heare
Iacob
,
yee
that
are
called
by
the
name
of
Israel
,
and
are
come
out
of
the
stocke
of
Iuda
,
which
sware
by
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
and
beare
the
witnesse
of
the
Lorde
of
Israel
:
But
not
with
trueth
and
right
,
which
art
called
free
men
of
the
holy
Cities
,
and
are
grounded
vppon
the
GOD
of
Israel
,
whose
name
is
the
Lorde
of
Hostes
.
The
thynges
that
I
shewed
you
euer
since
the
begynnyng
,
haue
I
not
brought
them
to
passe
,
immediately
as
the●●ame
out
of
my
mouth
,
and
declared
th●●
,
and
they
are
come
.
Howebeit
,
I
knowe
that
thou
arte
obstinate
,
and
that
thine
necke
hath
an
yron
bayne
,
and
that
thy
browe
is
of
brasse
.
Neuerthelesse
,
I
haue
euer
since
the
beginnyng
,
shewed
thee
of
thinges
for
to
come
,
and
declared
them
vnto
thee
or
euer
they
come
to
passe
,
That
thou
sholdest
not
say
,
my
Idol
hath
done
it
,
my
carued
or
molten
Image
hath
shewed
it
.
Heare
and
consider
all
these
thinges
,
whether
it
was
yee
that
Prophecied
them
:
But
as
for
me
.
I
told
thee
before
at
the
beginnyng
,
new
and
secret
things
that
thou
knewest
not
of
,
and
some
done
nowe
,
not
of
olde
tyme
,
wherof
thou
neuer
hardest
before
they
were
brought
to
passe
:
that
thou
canst
not
say
,
beholde
I
knewe
them
.
Moreouer
,
there
be
some
whereof
thou
hast
neuer
heard
nor
knowen
,
neither
haue
they
bene
opened
vnto
thine
eares
afore
tyme
:
for
I
knew
that
thou
wouldest
maliciously
offende
,
therefore
haue
I
called
thee
a
transgressont
euen
from
thy
mothers
wombe
.
Neuerthelesse
,
I
haue
withdrawen
my
wrath
for
my
names
sake
,
&
for
mine
honours
sake
,
I
haue
ouer
seene
thee
:
so
that
I
haue
not
rooted
thee
out
.
Behold
,
I
haue
purged
thee
,
and
not
as
Siluer
:
I
haue
chosen
thee
in
the
fyre
of
affuction
,
&
that
onely
for
mine
owne
sake
:
for
I
giue
myne
honour
to
none
other
,
that
thou
shouldest
not
despise
mee
.
Hearken
vnto
mee
O
Iacob
and
Israel
,
whome
I
haue
called
,
I
am
euen
that
is
,
I
am
the
first
and
the
last
.
Whereby
it
is
plaine
,
that
there
is
no
more
redeemers
to
be
looked
for
,
and
the
Prophets
are
gone
before
.
Albeit
,
wee
heare
daily
speakyng
vnto
vs
from
God
him self
and
all
his
Prophets
,
to
the
end
to
gather
together
the
remnaunt
of
Iuda
.
In
so
muche
as
the
Prophet
Ezechiel
hath
left
vs
these
comfortes
,
When
the
wicked
man
turneth
away
from
his
wickednesse
that
he
hath
done
,
and
doeth
the
thing
which
is
equall
and
right
,
hee
shall
saue
his
owne
soule
and
lyue
.
For
in
somuch
as
he
remembreth
him selfe
,
and
turneth
him
from
all
the
vngodlines
that
he
hath
vsed
,
hee
shall
lyue
and
not
dye
.
Albeit
,
the
Prophet
Ieremy
,
doth
in
this
Which
while
the
Lorde
dyd
beholde
,
See
I
pray
you
the
louyng
mercyes
of
the
Lorde
offered
vnto
those
people
,
and
nowe
speaking
vnto
vs
,
by
the
mouthes
of
many
godly
Preachers
,
in
folowyng
and
obseruyng
the
fourme
of
the
good
Prophet
Osee
,
in
daily
crying
out
.
Turne
Israel
:
saying
vnto
the
eternall
God
,
Thou
arte
the
Lorde
our
God
,
and
thee
will

worshyp
:
Confusion
hath
deuoured
our
fathers
labour
from
our
youth
vp
,
yea
their
sheepe
&
their
Bullockes
,
theyr
sonnes
and
their
daughters
.
So
doe
wee
also
sleepe
in
our
confusion
,
and
shame
For
reconciliation
whereof
it
is
written
thus
by
the
Prophet
Ioel.

If
the
consideration
of
such
ensamples
,
then
may
not
mooue
the
people
in
this
age
to
bee
deepely
touched
with
repentaunce
,
let
them
take
the
louyng
Parables
of
Christ
of
the
two
sonnes
,
and
A
certayne
man
had
two
soones
,
and
hee
came
to
the
first
and
sayde
,
sonne
,
goe
and
worke
to
day
in
my
Vineyarde
,
who
answered
I
will
not
:
but
afterwards
repented
and
went
.
Then
came
bee
to
the
seconde
,
and
sayde
likewyse
,
and
hee
answered
I
will
syr
,
but
went
not
.
Wherein
is
expressed
a
wonderfull
comfort
:
first
is
to
be
considered
,
how
the
Lorde
our
God
maker
of
heauen
&
earth
,
doeth
humble
him selfe
,
not
onely
to
bee
called
a
husbandman
,
a
housholder
,
and
suche
lyke
:
But
he
abaseth
him selfe
of
mercy
,
to
vs
vile
earth
and
ashes
,
that
his
sonne
became
man
to
make
mankynde
glorious
in
his
sight
,
to
make
all
those
that
do
not
refuse
his
grace
offered
,
of
the
slaues
of
Saten
,
his
sonnes
by
adoption
:
We
are
his
sonnes
,
we
are
his
Vinyard
,
wee
are
as
deare
vnto
him
as
the
Apple
of
his
eye
:
As
Moyses
speaketh
,
if
you
can
beleeue
it
,
hee
sweareth
that
you
shal
be
his
inheritance
,
and
he
will
be
yours
:
If
yee
will
onely
beleeue
his
grace
offered
,
and
beleeue
him
when
hee
sweareth
.
Will
yee
call
his
trueth
into
doubt
?
his
glorye
into
shame
by
your
misreliefe
:
Better
it
were
that
all
creatures
should
perishe
,
Heauen
,
man
,
and
Aungels
,
then
that
GOD
shoulde
not
haue
credite
,
or
that
his
power
and
glorye
in
the
least
iotte
shoulde
bee
diminished
.
Hee
hath
called
vs
hys
people
of
Englande
by
his
worde
many
yeares
,
to
worke
in
his
Vineyarde
.
But
what
many
one
haue
answered
,
I
appeale
to
your
owne
consciences
,
which
witnesseth
,
and
all
the
world
seeth
,
that
some
haue
deceitfully
sayd
lyke
Belials
children
,
&
answered
that
ye
woulde
goe
and
worke
in
your
fathers
Vineyarde
,
and
haue
not
done
it
:
and
othersome
lyke
rebellious
,
haue
plainly
sayde
they
would
not
.
But
what
is
in
this
great
matter
required
,
it
onely
remaineth
,
that
all
do
repent
and
returne
vnto
the
Vineyard
,
with
the
first
Sonne
.
For
neuer
shall
ignoraunce
excuse
any
lande
or
nation
,
as
it
is
plaine
in
the
first
to
the
Romaynes
,
neyther
can
any
people
be
receiued
without
the
fruit
of
repentance
,
not
onely
to
acknowledge
our
sinne
&
to
lament
them
,
but
to
amend
our
liues
,
and
to
make
streight
the
Lords
pathes
,
and
to
be
well
garded
with
obedience
vnto
God
,
in
doyng
the
workes
of
righteousnesse
,
in
executyng
Gods
preceptes
,
to
the
resistyng
of
Satan
and
sin
.
But
if
neyther
the
meanes
of
Gods
mercyes
offered
,
nor
his
punishement
threatned
for
sinne
,
may
not
mooue
obstinate
people
to
returnyng
vnto
the
Lorde
in
good
earnest
,
and
that
they
will
looke
for
signes
,
lyke
vnto
the
Scribes
and
Ionas
.
Insomuch
as
wee
of
this
age
neede
to
looke
after
no
further
signes
or
wonders
then
the
word
of
God
and
daily
experience
leadeth
vnto
.
For
Ierusalem
and
Damasco
,
neuer
possessed
more
greater
blessinges
then
Englande
nowe
doeth
,
nor
none
of
those
Cities
neuer
enioyed
more
pompe
then
London
nowe
possesseth
.
And
it
is
certaine
,
that
Christ
preached
three
yeares
in
those
two
famous
Cities
,
and
the
Countreys
vnto
them
adiacent
.
And
after
fortie
yeares
Ierusalem
was
destroyed
,
so
long
a
time
dyd
God
giue
vnto
them
of
repentaunce
and
returning
from
their
froward
wayes
wherein
those
people
so
proudly
walked
in
disobedience
.
And
the
same
God
of
long
tyme
hath
called
his
litle
flocke
of
Englande
,
as
the
remnaunt
of
Israel
,
by
the
largenesse
of
his
mercy
offered
.
But
the
same
seemeth
to
haue
taken
so
little
effecte
,
as
that
a
great
number
with
the
consent
of
disobedience
,
haue
taken
occasion
by
their
owne
wickednesse
,
to
prouoke
Ierusalem
,
in
that
last
destruction
of
the
same
,
none
escaped
Gods
vengeance
except
so
many
as
before
were
dispersed
.
And
what
the
cause
was
of
this
Gods
seueritie
,
we
are
forbidden
to
dispute
with
God
.
But
let
all
men
by
these
examples
learne
betymes
,
to
flee
and
auoyde
to
commit
such
lyke
abominations
as
the
proude
contemners
of
God
doe
prosecute
,
if
the
residue
list
not
to
bee
partakers
of
theyr
plagues
.
And
yet
the
causes
are
euident
,
for
which
GOD
brought
so
horrible
destruction
vppon
those
Cityes
,
manifestyng
that
wee
shoulde
bee
subiect
without
grudgyng
vnto
Gods
will
and
iudgementes
,
which
in
them selues
are
most
holy
and
iust
.
Wherefore
it
behooueth
that
we
of
this
age
,
should
all
humble
our selues
vnder
the
mightie
hande
of
God
,
in
such
wyse
as
he
in
his
mercy
,
beholding
our
humilitie
,
may
bee
mooued
to
turne
away
his
wrathfull
displeasure
from
vs
.
For
in
the
originall
worlde
,
none
was
found
in
authoritie
,
that
eyther
dyd
resist
tyranny
,
or
oppression
,
that
vniuersally
was
vsed
,
eyther
yet
that
earnestly
reprehended
the
same
.
In
Sodome
,
was
none
found
,
that
dyd
gainstande
that
furious
and
beastly
multitude
that
dyd
compasse
about
,
and
besiege
the
house
of
Lot
:
None
would
beleeue
Lot
that
the
Citie
should
be
destroied
.
And
finally
,
in
Ierusalem
was
none
founde
,
that
studied
to
represse
the
tyranny
of
the
Priestes
,
and
therefore
of
one
vengeance
temporall
,
were
they
all
partakers
.
Which
examples
in
sundry
places
before
touched
,
ought
to
mooue
euery
one
that
hath
any
feelyng
iudgement
in
them selues
,
to
the
deepe
consideration
of
their
dueties
,
in
this
last
age
&
perillous
tymes
.
Seeyng
it
is
written
,
that
those
that
doe
not
labour
to
their
power
to
correct
euill
,
doe
consent
to
doyng
of
euil
.
And
let
it
not
be
forgotten
,
howe
that
Ionas
the
Prophet
,
was
but
three
dayes
in
his
deliueryng
of
the
Lordes
message
vnto
that
great
Citie
of
Niniuee
:
That
after
fortie
dayes
the
same
Citie
shoulde
be
destroyed
.
And
those
people
knowyng
them selues
guiltie
of
transgression
of
Gods
commaundementes
,
beleeued
the
Lorde
,
and
proclaimed
fasting
with
one
accord
among
them
all
:
and
put
on
sackcloth
,
as
well
the
great
as
the
small
,
the
rich
as
the
poore
.
The
Kyng
did
cast
off
his
costly
aray
,
that
he
was
wont
to
weare
,
and
put
on
sackcloth
,
as
then
the
manner
was
of
declaring
repentance
:
for
he
feared
God
.
In
so
much
as
God
beholdyng
their
contricion
in
an
acceptable
tyme
,
turned
from
his
forepurposed
destruction
,
which
was
pronounced
to
haue
fallen
vpon
that
great
Citie
after
fortie
daies
,
according
to
the
message
of
Ionas
:
had
not
both
the
King
&
the
people
bene
touched
with
so
zealous
affection
vnto
God
&
his
word
:
As
they
beleeued
the
Lordes
message
without
any
further
doubtyng
,
and
those
people
founde
fauour
in
Gods
fight
.
As
God
graunt
Englande
,
in
rendering
of
their
due
obedience
to
do
the
like
,
in
expressing
our
vnfeigned
repentance
,
by
our
outward
actions
:
for
wee
can
not
excuse
our selues
by
ignorance
,
as
to
say
,
that
we
want
of
such
like
warning
.
For
common
experience
may
teache
sensible
men
,
that
if
one
man
receiue
a
hand
writing
from
an
other
,
great
credite
is
giuen
therevnto
,
especially
when
there
is
fayth
and
confidence
betwixt
the
partie
who
sent
the
writing
,
and
the
parties
vnto
whom
the
same
is
sent
.
In
so
muche
as
euery
man
and
woman
ought
to
examine
in
them selues
what
confidence
euery
one
doeth
repose
in
God
his
written
worde
:
and
what
zealous
loue
euery
one
beareth
in
his
heart
toward
the
same
.
And
let
vs
not
be
vnmindfull
that
there
is
a
time
to
laugh
,
and
a
tyme
to
weepe
,
a
tyme
to
go
forwarde
,
and
a
tyme
to
goe
backwarde
.
Wherby
all
are
forewarned
from
goyng
backwarde
,
like
the
frowarde
nature
of
the
Sea
Crabbe
.
But
rather
seeing
that
we
doe
beare
the
Image
of
Christ
,
let
vs
in
tyme
refraine
,
from
glutting
&
ladyng
our selues
with
muddy
earth
,
lyke
vnto
the
Woluish
generation
:
but
so
to
frame
our selues
to
haue
gladsome
heartes
and
willing
mindes
:
to
the
ende
,
to
fetch
water
at
the
liuely
fountaine
,
with
the
woman
of
Samaria
,
who
could
not
deny
but
Amen
.
FINIS
.
Our
Sauiour
Christ
pronounceth
thus
much
of
him selfe
,
that
if
we
continue
in
his
word
,
then
are
we
his
very
Disciples
,
and
shal
knowe
the
trueth
,
and
the
trueth
shal
make
vs
free
.
Saue
Lord
,
and
blesse
,
with
good
increase
,
thy
church
our
Queen
,
&
realme
in
peace
.
