The
Argument
.
IT
appeareth
that
Dauid
after
his
offence
fel
into
some
great
&
dangerous
sicknes
,
in
the
which
he
was
sore
tormented
,
not
so
much
by
corporal
infirmities
,
as
by
susteining
&
drinking
some
large
portion
of
the
cup
of
God
his
wrath
:
and
albeit
that
he
was
deliuered
(
as
then
)
from
the
corporal
death
,
yet
it
appeareth
that
long
after
(
yea
and
I
verily
beleeue
that
all
his
life
)
he
had
some
sense
and
remembrance
of
the
horrible
feare
which
before
he
suffered
in
the
time
of
his
sicknes
.
And
therfore
the
holy
Ghost
speaking
in
him
,
sheweth
vnto
vs
what
be
the
complaintes
of
God
his
elect
vnder
such
crosse
howe
diuersly
they
are
tormented
,
how
that
they
appeare
to
haue
no
sure
holde
of
GOD
,
but
to
be
abiect
from
him
:
and
yet
what
are
the
signes
,
that
they
are
Gods
elect
.
And
so
doeth
the
holy
Ghost
to
teach
vs
to
seeke
helpe
of
God
,
euen
when
hee
is
punishing
,
and
appeareth
to
bee
angrie
with
vs
.
The
sixth
Psalme
.
1
O
Lorde
,
rebuke
mee
not
in
thine
anger
,
nor
chastice
mee
in
thy
hot
displeasure
.
DAuid
sore
troubled
both
in
body
and
spirite
,
lamentably
praieth
vnto
God
:
which
that
you
may
more
surely
vnderstande
,
I
will
attempt
to
expres
in
moe
woordes
.
Dauid
speaketh
vnto
God
,
as
hee
would
speake
vnto
a
man
:
in
this
manner
.
O
Lorde
,
This
appeareth
to
haue
beene
the
meaning
of
Dauid
in
his
first
woordes
,
whereby
he
declareth
him selfe
to
haue
felt
the
gre●uous
wrath
of
God
before
that
hee
burst
foorth
to
these
wordes
.
In
which
first
is
to
bee
noted●
that
the
Prophet
doeth
acknowledge
all
troubles
,
that
hee
susteined
as
well
in
body
as
in
spirite
,
to
bee
sent
of
God
,
and
not
to
happen
vnto
him
by
chaunce
:
for
heerein
peculiarly
differ
the
sonnes
of
God
,
from
the
reprobate
,
that
the
sonnes
of
God
knowe
both
prosperitie
and
aduersitie
,
to
bee
the
giftes
of
GOD
onely
,
as
Iob
doeth
witnesse
.
And
therfore
in
prosperitie
commonly
they
are
not
insolent
,
nor
proude
,
but
euen
in
the
day
of
ioy
and
rest
they
looke
for
trouble
and
sorrowe
.
Neither
yet
in
the
time
of
aduersitie
,
are
they
altogether
lefte
without
comforte
,
but
by
one
meane
or
other
God
sheweth
vnto
them
that
the
trouble
shal
haue
ende
.
Where
contrarywise
the
reprobate
taking
all
thinges
of
chance
,
or
els
making
an
idol
of
their
owne
wisdom
,
in
prosperitie
are
so
puft
vp
,
that
they
forget
God
,
without
any
care
that
trouble
shoulde
followe
:
And
in
aduersitie
they
are
so
deiect
,
that
they
looke
for
nothing
bu●
Hell
.
Here
must
I
put
you
in
minde
(
dearely
beloued
)
howe
often
you
and
I
haue
talked
together
of
these
present
dayes
,
till
neither
of
vs
both
coulde
refraine
teares
,
when
no
such
apparance
there
was
seene
by
man
.
How
often
haue
I
saide
vnto
you
,
that
I
looked
dayly
for
trouble
,
and
that
I
wondred
at
it
,
that
so
long
I
did
escape
it
?
What
mooued
me
to
refuse
,
and
that
with
displeasure
of
al
men
,
euen
of
those
that
best
loued
mee
,
those
high
promotions
that
were
offered
by
him
,
whom
God
hath
taken
from
vs
for
our
offences
?
Assuredly
the
foresight
of
troubles
to
come
.
How
oft
haue
I
said
vnto
you
that
the
time
woulde
not
bee
long
,
that
England
woulde
giue
mee
bread
?
Aduise
with
the
last
letter
,
that
I
wrote
vnto
your
brother
in
lawe
,
&
consider
,
what
is
therein
conteined
.
While
I
had
this
trouble
,
you
had
the
greater
,
sent
(
I
doubt
not
)
to
vs
both
of
God
:
that
in
that
great
rest
,
and
(
as
we
cal
it
)
when
the
gospel
triumphed
,
we
should
not
bee
so
carelesse
and
so
insolent
,
as
others
were
.
Who
albeit
they
professed
Christe
in
mouth
,
yet
sought
they
nothing
but
the
worlde
with
hand
,
with
foote
,
with
counsel
and
wisedome
.
And
albeit
at
this
present
our
comfort
appeareth
not
,
yet
before
all
the
plagues
be
powred
foorth
,
it
shal
be
known
that
there
is
a
God
,
who
taketh
care
for
his
owne
.
Secondarily
is
to
be
noted
,
These
things
I
recite
vnto
you
,
deerely
beloued
,
vnderstanding
what
haue
beene
your
troubles
heeretofore
:
and
knowing
that
Sathan
wil
not
cease
nowe
to
perswade
to
your
tender
conscience
,
that
none
of
God
his
elect
hath
beene
in
like
case
as
you
are
,
but
by
these
presidentes
and
many
other
places
,
which
now
to
collect
I
haue
no
opportunitie
,
it
plainely
doth
appeare
that
God
his
chosen
vessels
haue
suffered
the
like
temptations
.
I
remember
that
ofte
you
haue
complained
vpon
the
grudging
and
murmuring
that
you
founde
,
which
in
your selfe
fearing
that
it
prouoked
God
to
more
displeasure
:
Beholde
and
consider
deere
mother
,
what
God
hath
borne
with
his
saintes
before
:
wil
hee
not
beare
the
same
with
you
,
beeing
most
sorie
for
your
imperfections
?
Hee
cannot
other
wise
do●
.
But
as
his
wisedome
hath
made
vs
al
of
one
masse
and
nature
,
earth
and
earthly
:
and
as
hee
hath
redeemed
vs
with
one
price
,
the
blood
of
his
only
sonne
,
so
hee
according
to
his
promise
like
mercifully
pardoneth
doneth
the
offences
of
al
those
that
cal
vpon
the
name
of
the
Lorde
Iesus
,
But
to
our
matter
of
these
presidents
,
plaine
it
is
that
God
his
elect
,
before
you
haue
suffered
the
like
crosse
,
as
presentlie
you
suffer
,
that
they
haue
complained
as
you
complaine
,
that
they
haue
thought
themselues
abiect
,
as
you
haue
thought
,
and
yet
may
thinke
your selfe
:
and
yet
neuerthelesse
they
were
sure
in
GOD
his
fauour
.
Hope
deare
mother
and
looke
you
for
the
same
,
hope
I
say
against
hope
.
Howe
horrible
the
paine
is
to
suffer
that
crosse
,
can
none
expresse
,
except
such
as
haue
prooued
it
:
feareful
it
is
for
the
very
payne
it selfe
:
but
most
feareful
it
is
,
for
that
the
godlie
so
tormented
,
iudge
God
to
bee
angrie
,
in
furor
and
in
rage
against
them
,
as
is
before
expressed
.
Seeing
wee
haue
founde
this
crosse
to
appertaine
to
God
his
children
,
profitable
it
shal
be
,
and
necessarie
to
searche
out
the
causes
of
the
same
.
Plaine
it
is
that
not
only
God
worketh
al
to
the
profite
of
his
elect
,
but
also
that
hee
woorketh
it
of
such
loue
towardes
them
and
with
such
wisedome
,
that
otherwise
thinges
coulde
not
bee
:
and
this
to
vnderstande
,
is
very
profitable
,
partly
to
satisfie
the
grudging
complaintes
of
the
fleshe
,
which
in
trouble
commonly
doeth
question
,
Why
doth
God
this
or
that
?
And
albeeit
the
fleshe
in
this
earth
can
neuer
bee
fully
satisfied
:
but
euen
as
hunger
and
thirst
from
time
to
time
assaulteth
it
,
so
doe
others
more
grosse
imperfections
,
yet
the
inwarde
man
which
sobbeth
vnto
God
(
knowing
the
causes
why
the
very
iust
are
so
troubled
and
torm●nted
in
bodie
and
spirite
in
this
life
)
receiueth
some
comforte
and
getteth
some
stay
of
God
his
mercie
,
by
knowing
the
causes
of
the
trouble
.
Al
causes
may
I
not
heere
recite
:
but
twoo
or
three
of
the
principal
wil
I
touche
.
The
first
is
to
prouoke
in
God
his
elect
an
ha●●ed
of
sinne
,
and
vnfainedly
repentance
of
the
same
〈◊〉
the
which
cause
if
it
were
rightly
considered
,
were
sufficient
to
make
all
spirit●all
and
co●porall
troubles
tollerable
vnto
vs
.
For
seeing
it
is
so
that
without
repentance
no
man
doeth
attaine
to
GOD
his
mercie
(
for
it
is
now
appointed
by
him
whose
wisedome
is
infinite
,
I
meane
of
those
that
are
conuerted
to
the
feeling
of
sinne
)
and
that
without
mercie
no
man
can
come
to
ioy
:
is
not
that
which
causeth
vs
to
vnderstand
what
repentance
is
,
gladly
to
bee
receiued
and
imbraced
?
Repentance
conteineth
within
it
a
knowledge
of
sinne
,
a
dolour
for
it
,
and
a
hatred
of
it
togither
with
hope
of
mercy
.
It
is
very
euident
that
God
his
owne
children
haue
not
at
al
times
the
right
knowledge
of
sinne
:
that
is
to
say
,
how
odious
it
is
before
God
:
Much
lesse
haue
they
the
dolour
of
it
,
&
hatred
of
it
.
Which
if
they
had
,
as
they
could
not
sinne
,
so
coulde
they
neuer
be
able
,
hauing
that
same
very
sense
of
God
his
wrath
against
sinne
,
to
delight
in
any
thing
that
appertaineth
to
the
fleshe
,
more
then
the
woman
whome
God
hath
appointed
by
the
helpe
of
man
,
to
produce
mankind
,
coulde
euer
delight
in
man
,
if
at
al
times
shee
felt
the
same
pangues
of
dolour
and
paine
,
that
she
doeth
in
her
childebyrth
.
And
therefore
doeth
God
for
such
purposes
as
are
knowne
to
himselfe
,
sometime
suspend
from
his
owne
children
,
this
fore saide
sense
and
feeling
of
his
wrath
against
sinne
.
As
no
doubte
,
heere
hee
did
with
Dauid
,
not
onely
before
his
sinne
,
but
also
sometime
after
.
But
least
the
sonnes
of
God
shoulde
become
altogither
insolent
like
the
children
of
the
world
,
he
sendeth
vnto
them
some
portion
of
this
foresaide
cuppe
:
in
drinking
whereof
they
come
to
such
knowledge
as
they
neuer
had
before
.
For
first
they
feele
the
wrath
of
God
working
against
sinne
:
whereby
they
learne
the
iustice
of
God
,
to
bee
euen
such
as
he
himselfe
pronounceth
that
he
may
suffer
no
sinne
vnpunished
.
And
thus
begin
they
as
well
to
morne
for
their
offences
,
as
also
to
hate
the
same
,
which
otherwise
they
coulde
neuer
doe
:
for
nothing
is
so
pleasing
to
the
corrupt
nature
of
man
,
as
is
sinne
:
and
things
pleasing
to
nature
,
cannot
nature
of
it selfe
hate
.
But
in
this
conflict
,
as
God
his
childr̄
feele
torments
,
and
those
most
grieuous
,
as
they
mourne
,
and
by
God
his
holie
spirite
begin
to
hate
sinne
:
so
come
they
also
to
a
more
high
knowledge
:
that
is
,
that
man
cannot
bee
sauiour
to
himselfe
,
for
how
shal
hee
saue
himselfe
from
hel
,
that
cannot
saue
himselfe
from
anguish
and
trouble
heere
in
the
flesh
,
while
hee
yet
hath
strength
,
wit
,
reason
,
and
vnderstanding
:
and
therefore
must
hee
bee
compelled
in
his
heart
,
to
acknowledge
,
that
there
is
another
mediatour
betweene
God
his
iustice
and
mankind
,
then
any
that
euer
descended
of
the
corrupt
state
of
Adam
,
yea
then
any
creature
,
that
onlie
is
a
creature
:
and
by
the
knowledge
of
this
mediatour
at
the
last
,
the
afflicted
commeth
by
some
sense
and
liuely
feeling
of
God
his
great
mercie
declared
vnto
mankinde
,
albeeit
they
bee
not
so
sensible
as
is
the
paine
:
and
albeeit
that
torment
by
this
knowledge
is
not
hastily
remoued
,
yet
hath
the
patient
some
hope
,
that
al
dolour
shal
haue
ende
:
and
that
is
the
cause
why
hee
sobbeth
and
gro●eth
,
for
an
ende
of
paine
,
why
also
he
blasphemeth
not
God
,
but
cryeth
for
his
health
euen
in
the
midst
of
his
anguishe
.
Howe
profitable
this
is
to
the
children
of
God
,
and
what
it
worketh
in
them
as
the
plaine
scripture
teacheth
,
so
experience
letteth
vs
vnderstande
.
Verilie
euen
so
profitable
as
it
is
to
mourne
for
sinne
,
to
hate
the
same
,
to
knowe
the
mediatour
betwixt
God
and
man
,
and
finally
to
knowe
his
louing
mercie
towardes
them
:
So
necessarie
is
it
to
drinke
this
foresaide
cuppe
.
What
it
worketh
in
them
,
none
knoweth
but
such
as
taste
it
.
In
Dauid
it
is
plaine
,
that
it
wrought
humilitie
and
abiection
of
himselfe
.
It
tooke
from
him
the
great
trust
hee
had
in
himselfe
.
It
made
him
dayly
to
feare
and
earnestly
to
pray
,
that
after
he
shoulde
not
offend
in
like
manner
,
or
bee
left
in
his
owne
handes
.
It
made
him
lowlie
,
although
hee
was
a
king
:
it
made
him
merciful
,
when
hee
might
haue
beene
rigorous
:
Yea
and
it
made
him
to
mourne
for
Absolon
his
wicked
sonne
.
But
to
the
rest
of
the
causes
.
The
second
cause
why
God
permitteth
his
elect
to
taste
of
this
bitter
cuppe
,
is
to
raise
vp
our
hearts
from
these
transitorie
vanitles
:
for
so
foolish
and
forgetful
of
nature
,
and
so
addict
are
wee
to
the
things
that
are
present
,
that
vnlesse
wee
haue
another
schoolemaister
then
manly
reason
,
and
some
other
spurre
,
and
perpetual
remembrance
,
then
any
which
wee
can
choose
or
deuise
our selues
:
Wee
neither
can
desire
,
nor
yet
rightly
remember
,
the
departure
from
this
vaine
and
wicked
worlde
,
to
the
kingdome
that
is
prepared
.
Wee
are
commanded
dayly
to
praye
,
Thy
kingdome
come
:
which
petition
asketh
that
sinne
may
cease
,
that
death
may
be
deuoured
,
that
transitorie
troubles
may
haue
an
ende
,
that
Sathan
may
bee
troden
vnder
foote
,
that
the
whole
body
of
Christ
,
may
bee
restored
to
life
,
libertie
,
and
ioy
,
that
the
powers
and
kingdomes
of
this
earth
may
bee
resolued
and
destroyed
.
And
that
God
the
father
may
be
all
in
al
thinges
after
that
his
sonne
Christ
Iesus
our
Sauiour
hath
rendred
vp
the
kingdom
for
euer
.
These
thinges
are
wee
al
commaunded
to
pray
for
:
but
which
of
vs
in
the
time
when
al
abundeth
with
vs
(
when
neither
body
not
spirite
hath
trouble
)
from
our
heart
,
and
without
dissimulation
can
wishe
these
thinges
?
verily
none
.
With
our
mouth
wee
may
speake
the
wordes
,
but
the
heart
cannot
thirst
the
thinges
to
come
,
except
we
be
in
such
state
that
worldly
things
be
vnsauerie
vnto
vs
.
And
so
can
they
neuer
be
but
vnder
the
Crosse.
Neither
yet
vnder
al
kind
of
Crosses
as
are
worldly
things
vnpleasant
:
for
in
pouertie
riches
do
greately
delight
many
.
For
although
they
lacke
them
,
yet
desire
they
to
haue
them
:
and
so
are
they
neither
vnsauerie
nor
vnpleasant
.
For
things
that
wee
earnestly
couet
,
are
not
vnpleasant
vnto
vs
.
But
when
things
appertaining
to
the
flesh
,
are
sufficiently
ministred
vnto
vs
,
and
yet
none
of
them
can
molifie
our
anguishe
nor
paine
:
then
sobbeth
the
heart
vnto
God
,
and
vnfaynedly
wisheth
an
ende
of
miserie
.
And
therefore
our
heauenly
father
of
his
infinite
wisedome
,
to
holde
vs
in
continual
remembrance
,
that
in
this
wretched
worlde
there
is
no
rest
,
permitteth
and
suffereth
vs
to
bee
tempted
and
tryed
with
this
crosse
,
that
with
an
vnfained
hart
we
may
desire
not
only
an
end
of
our
troubles
(
for
that
shal
come
to
vs
by
death
)
but
also
of
al
the
troubles
of
the
churche
of
God
,
which
shal
not
bee
before
the
comming
again
of
the
Lorde
Iesus
.
The
thirde
cause
I
collect
of
Moses
wordes
to
the
Israelites
,
saying
,
The
Lorde
thy
God
shal
cast
out
these
nations
by
little
and
little
before
thee
.
Hee
wil
not
cast
them
out
all
at
once
,
lest
perchaunce
the
wilde
beasts
be
multiplied
against
thee
:
And
also
when
thou
shalt
enter
into
that
lande
,
and
shalt
dwell
in
the
houses
,
that
thou
neuer
buildest
,
and
that
thou
shalt
eate
and
bee
filled
:
giue
thankes
vnto
the
Lorde
thy
God
,
and
beware
that
thou
forget
him
not
,
and
that
thou
say
not
in
thy
hearte
:
The
strength
of
mine
own
hand
hath
brought
these
great
riches
vnto
mee
.
In
these
woordes
are
twoo
thinges
appertaining
vnto
our
matter
most
worthie
to
bee
noted
.
First
that
Moses
saieth
that
the
Lorde
will
not
at
once
,
but
by
little
and
little
destroy
those
nations
,
adding
the
cause
,
least
perchaunce
(
saith
hee
)
the
wilde
beastes
bee
multiplied
,
and
make
vp●o
are
against
thee
.
The
seconde
that
when
they
had
abundance
that
then
they
shoulde
declare
themselues
mindeful
of
God
his
benefites
,
and
that
they
should
not
thinke
that
their
owne
power
,
wisedome
,
nor
prouision
was
any
cause
that
they
had
the
fruition
of
those
commodities
.
By
these
Presidents
the
holy
Ghost
teacheth
them
,
that
like
as
they
did
not
possesse
,
nor
obtaine
the
first
interest
of
that
lande
by
their
owne
strength
,
but
that
the
Lorde
God
did
freelie
giue
it
to
them
,
so
likewise
were
they
not
able
to
brooke
nor
enioy
the
same
,
by
any
power
of
themselues
.
For
albeeit
that
God
shoulde
haue
in
one
moment
destroied
al
their
enemies
:
yet
if
hee
shoulde
not
haue
beene
their
perpetual
safegarde
,
the
wilde
beastes
,
shoulde
haue
troubled
them
.
And
if
they
had
demaunded
the
question
,
why
wilt
thou
not
destroy
the
wild
beasts
also
?
he
answereth
,
least
thou
forget
the
Lorde
thy
God
,
and
say
in
thy
heart
,
my
strength
hath
obtained
this
quietnesse
to
my selfe
.
Consider
,
deerely
beloued
,
that
such
things
as
the
spirite
of
God
foresawe
dangerous
and
damnable
vnto
them
,
the
same
things
are
to
be
feared
in
vs
:
for
al
things
happened
vnto
them
in
figures
.
They
were
in
Egypt
corporally
punished
by
a
cruel
tyrant
:
wee
were
in
spirituall
bondage
of
the
Deuil
,
by
sinne
and
incredulitie
.
God
gaue
to
them
a
land
that
flowed
with
milke
and
hony
,
for
which
they
neuer
laboured
:
God
hath
opened
to
vs
,
the
knowledge
of
Christ
Iesus
which
we
neuer
deserued
,
nor
yet
hoped
for
the
same
.
They
were
not
able
to
defende
the
land
,
after
they
were
possessed
in
it
:
wee
are
not
able
,
to
retaine
our selues
,
in
the
true
knowledge
of
Christ
,
but
by
his
grace
onelie
.
Some
enimies
were
left
to
exercise
them
.
Sinne
is
left
in
vs
,
that
we
may
learne
to
fight
.
If
enemies
had
not
beene
,
wilde
beasts
should
haue
multiplied
amongest
them
.
If
such
beastes
as
wee
thinke
most
doe
trouble
vs
,
were
not
permitted
so
to
doe
,
worse
beastes
shoulde
haue
dominion
ouer
vs
,
that
is
to
wit
:
Trust
in
our selfe
,
arrogancie
,
obliuion
,
&
forgetfulnes
of
that
estate
from
which
GOD
hath
deliuered
vs
,
togither
with
a
light
estimation
of
all
Christes
merites
,
which
sinnes
are
the
beastes
that
(
alas
do
deuour
no
smal
number
of
men
.
Neither
yet
let
any
man
thinke
,
that
if
al
kinde
of
crosses
were
taken
from
vs
,
during
the
time
that
wee
beare
the
earthly
Image
of
Adam
,
that
wee
shoulde
bee
more
perfect
in
vsing
the
spiritual
giftes
of
God
:
to
wit
,
the
remission
of
sinnes
,
his
free
grace
,
and
Christ
his
iustice
,
for
which
wee
neuer
laboured
:
than
that
people
shoulde
haue
beene
,
in
vsing
of
those
corporall
giftes
.
And
Moyses
saith
vnto
them
,
Beware
that
thou
forget
not
the
Lorde
thy
God
.
Hee
who
knoweth
the
secretes
of
heartes
,
giueth
not
his
preceptes
in
vaine
:
if
man
his
hearte
had
not
beene
prone
and
readie
to
forget
God
,
and
to
glorie
in
his
owne
strength
,
God
had
not
giuen
this
precept
,
and
repeated
it
so
diligently
.
For
hee
neither
doeth
nor
speaketh
in
vaine
,
but
knowing
what
thinges
be
most
able
to
blinde
and
deceiue
man
,
the
wisedome
of
God
by
his
contrarie
preceptes
,
giueth
him
warning
of
the
same
.
Experience
hath
taught
vs
howe
such
beastes
haue
troubled
the
churche
of
God
:
to
speake
nothing
of
the
time
of
the
Prophetes
,
of
the
Apostles
,
or
of
the
primitiue
church
.
What
trouble
made
Pelagius
by
his
heresie
?
affirming
that
man
by
natural
power
and
free
wil
,
might
fulfil
the
lawe
of
GOD
,
and
deserue
for
himselfe
remission
and
grace
.
And
to
come
a
little
neere
to
our
owne
age
,
hath
it
not
beene
openly
preached
and
affirmed
in
schooles
,
and
set
out
by
writings
,
that
onelie
faith
doeth
not
iustifie
,
but
that
workes
doe
also
iustifie
?
Hath
it
not
beene
taught
,
that
good
workes
may
goe
before
faith
,
and
may
prouoke
God
to
giue
his
graces
?
What
hath
beene
taught
of
man
his
merites
,
and
of
the
workes
of
supererogation
:
some
openly
affirming
that
some
men
haue
wrought
more
good
woorkes
,
then
were
necessarie
to
their
owne
saluation
?
I
pray
you
consider
if
these
men
saide
not
:
our
hande
and
our
strength
hath
giuen
these
thinges
vnto
vs
.
What
were
these
Diuelishe
heresies
,
and
others
that
haue
infected
the
whole
Papistrie
?
Assuredly
they
were
cruel
and
rauenous
beastes
,
able
to
deuour
the
soules
of
al
those
vpon
whome
they
get
the
vpper
hande
:
but
the
mercifull
prouidence
of
our
God
,
willing
our
saluation
,
wil
not
suffer
vs
,
to
come
to
that
vnthankefulnesse
and
obliuion
.
And
therefore
heere
hee
permitteth
vs
,
of
our
enemies
,
with
his
Apostle
Paule
to
be
suffered
,
to
the
ende
that
wee
may
mourne
for
sinne
,
and
hate
the
same
,
that
we
may
knowe
the
onelie
mediatour
,
and
the
dignitie
of
his
office
,
that
we
may
vnfaynedly
thirst
the
comming
of
the
Lorde
Iesus
,
and
that
wee
neither
bee
presumptuous
,
lightly
esteeming
Christ
his
death
:
neither
yet
vnmindful
of
out
former
estate
and
miseries
.
And
so
this
cuppe
is
as
it
were
a
medicine
prepared
by
the
wisedome
of
our
eternal
Phisition
,
who
onelie
knoweth
the
remedies
of
our
corrupt
nature
.
Aduerte
and
marke
,
deere
mother
,
that
al
commeth
to
vs
,
for
our
most
singular
profite
.
It
is
a
medicine
,
and
therefore
presently
it
cannot
bee
pleasing
.
But
howe
gladly
woulde
wee
vse
,
and
receiue
,
when
the
bodies
were
sicke
,
how
vnpleasant
&
bitter
soeuer
it
were
,
to
drinke
,
that
medicine
which
would
remoue
sicknesse
,
&
restore
health
?
But
Oh
how
much
more
ought
wee
,
with
patience
and
thanksgiuing
,
to
receiue
this
medicine
of
our
fathers
handes
,
that
from
our
soule
remoueth
many
mortal
diseases
,
his
holy
Ghost
so
working
by
the
same
:
such
as
is
pride
,
presumption
,
contempt
of
grace
,
and
vnthankefulnesse
?
which
bee
the
very
mortal
diseases
,
that
by
vnbeliefe
doe
kil
the
soule
:
And
doeth
restore
vnto
vs
lowlinesse
,
feare
,
inuocation
of
God
his
name
,
remembrance
of
our
owne
weakenesse
,
and
of
God
his
infinite
benefite
by
Christ
receiued
.
Which
bee
the
very
euident
signes
,
that
Iesus
Christ
liueth
in
vs
:
〈◊〉
signes
and
tokens
of
those
presidents
haue
appeared
in
you
,
and
in
others
that
bee
in
your
companie
,
sithens
your
first
profession
of
Christ
,
it
needeth
me
not
to
rehearse
.
God
graunt
that
the
eyes
of
men
be
not
blinded
to
their
own
perdition
.
But
to
our
purpose
,
deerely
beloued
,
accept
this
cuppe
from
the
handes
of
our
heauenly
father
,
and
albeit
your
paines
bee
almost
intollerable
,
yet
cast
your selfe
,
because
you
haue
none
other
refuge
,
before
the
throne
of
God
his
mercie
,
and
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
being
in
like
trouble
,
say
vnto
him
:
2
Haue
mercie
vpon
me
,
O
Lorde
,
for
I
am
weake
,
O
Lord
,
heare
me
,
for
al
my
bones
are
vexed
.
Nowe
procedeth
Dauid
in
his
prayer
,
adding
certaine
causes
,
why
he
should
bee
heard
,
and
obtaine
his
petitions
:
but
first
wee
wil
speake
of
his
prayers
as
they
bee
in
order
through
this
whole
Psalme
.
Dauid
in
summ●
desireth
4.
things
,
in
this
his
vehem̄t
trouble
:
in
the
first
verse
hee
asketh
that
God-punishe
him
not
in
his
heauie
displeasure
and
wrath
.
In
the
seconde
verse
hee
asketh
that
GOD
should
haue
mercie
vpon
him
:
and
in
the
third
verse
he
desireth
that
he
should
heale
him
:
and
in
the
fourth
verse
he
asketh
that
God
should
returne
vnto
him
,
and
that
he
should
saue
his
soule
:
euerie
one
of
these
things
,
were
so
necessarie
vnto
Dauid
,
that
lacking
any
one
of
them
,
hee
iudgeth
himselfe
vnfortunate
.
Hee
felt
the
wrath
of
God
,
and
therefore
desired
the
same
to
be
remoued
,
he
had
offended
and
therefore
desired
mercie
,
hee
was
falne
in
most
dangerous
sicknesse
,
and
therefore
he
cryed
,
for
corporal
health
:
God
appeared
to
be
departed
from
him
,
and
therfore
desired
hee
that
the
comfort
of
the
holy
Ghost
should
returne
vnto
him
.
And
thus
was
Dauid
,
not
as
commonlie
are
the
most
parte
of
men
in
their
praiers
,
who
of
a
custome
,
oftentimes
doe
aske
with
their
mouths
such
things
,
as
their
hearts
doe
not
greatly
desire
to
obtaine
.
But
let
vs
marke
principally
,
what
things
are
to
bee
noted
in
these
his
praiers
:
which
he
with
earnest
minde
powred
forth
before
God
.
Euident
it
is
,
that
Dauid
in
these
his
prayers
susteined
and
felt
the
very
sense
of
God
his
wrath
:
And
also
that
hee
vnderstoode
clearely
that
it
was
God
only
,
that
troubled
him
,
and
that
had
laide
that
sore
scourge
vpon
him
.
And
yet
no
where
els
but
at
God
alone
(
who
appeared
to
bee
angrie
with
him
)
seeketh
hee
support
or
aide
:
this
is
easie
to
bee
spoken
,
and
the
most
part
of
men
wil
iudge
it
but
a
light
matter
too
flie
to
God
in
their
troubles
.
I
confesse
in
deed
that
if
our
troubles
come
by
man
his
tyranny
,
that
then
the
most
sure
,
&
most
easie
way
is
,
to
runne
to
God
,
for
defence
and
aide
.
In
the
rest
of
Dauids
praiers
,
now
will
we
bee
shorter
,
that
wee
may
come
to
the
groundes
of
the
same
.
After
the
desiring
of
mercy
,
nowe
desireth
Dauid
a
corporal
benefite
,
saying
,
Heale
mee
,
Lorde
.
Heereof
is
to
bee
noted
,
that
bodily
health
being
the
gift
of
God
,
may
bee
asked
of
him
without
sinne
,
albeit
that
wee
vnderstand
our selues
to
bee
punished
for
our
offences
.
Neither
yet
in
so
praying
,
are
wee
contrary
to
Gods
will
:
for
his
prouidence
hath
planted
in
the
nature
of
man
,
a
desire
of
health
,
&
a
desire
that
it
may
be
conserued
,
&
therfore
is
he
not
offended
that
we
aske
health
of
body
,
when
we
lacke
it
,
neither
yet
that
we
seeke
preseruation
of
our
health
by
such
ordinary
meanes
as
hee
hath
appointed
:
Prouided
alwaies
,
that
God
himselfe
be
first
sought
,
and
that
we
desire
neither
life
,
neither
health
,
to
the
hinderance
of
Gods
glory
nor
to
the
hurt
or
destruction
of
others
our
brethren
,
but
rather
that
by
vs
Gods
glory
may
bee
promoted
,
&
that
others
our
brethren
by
our
strength
,
health
,
and
life
,
may
bee
comforted
and
defended
.
These
presidents
nowe
rightly
obserued
,
it
is
no
sinne
earnestly
to
aske
at
God
health
of
body
,
albeit
wee
knowe
our
sicknesse
to
bee
the
very
hand
of
God
,
punishing
or
correcting
our
former
euil
life
.
This
I
write
because
some
are
so
seuere
,
that
they
would
not
that
we
should
aske
bodily
helth
of
God
,
because
the
sicknes
is
sent
to
vs
by
him
:
but
such
men
doe
not
righteously
vnderstande
,
neither
yet
consider
that
sicknes
is
a
trouble
to
the
body
and
that
God
commandeth
vs
to
cal
for
his
help
in
our
troubles
.
Surely
our
submission
and
praiers
in
such
extremitie
,
is
the
greatest
glory
that
wee
can
giue
vnto
God
:
for
so
doing
wee
thinke
that
his
mercy
aboundeth
aboue
his
iudgement
and
so
wee
are
bold
to
pray
for
the
withdrawing
of
his
scourge
,
I
am
consumed
away
with
sicknesse
,
al
my
bones
are
vexed
,
&
my
soule
is
in
horrible
feare
:
But
how
long
lord
wilt
thou
thus
intreat
me
?
I
am
weeried
for
sobbing
:
I
water
my
bed
with
my
teares
.
Let
vs
imagine
that
Dauid
thus
speaketh
:
O
Lord
,
maiest
thou
who
euer
hast
taken
care
for
me
from
my
mothers
wombe
,
nowe
forget
mee
,
the
woorke
manship
of
thine
owne
hands
?
Maiest
thou
,
that
hast
declared
thy selfe
so
merciful
vnto
me
in
al
my
tribulations
,
nowe
in
the
ende
,
take
thy
mercies
cleane
from
me
?
Hast
thou
no
pitie
,
O
Lord●
?
Doest
thou
not
beholde
that
I
am
pined
and
consumed
by
this
greeuous
torment
?
wherein
is
not
onely
my
tender
flesh
,
but
also
my
verie
bones
(
the
strongest
parte
of
my
bodie
)
so
vexed
,
that
neither
is
there
beautie
nor
strength
left
vnto
mee
.
If
thy
anguishes
occupied
the
bodie
onely
,
yet
were
the
paine
almost
intollerable
:
but
O
Lord
,
so
horriblie
is
my
soule
tormented
,
that
albeit
it
be
immortal
,
yet
it
so
quaketh
and
trembleth
,
as
verie
death
should
deuour
it
.
And
thus
doe
I
sustaine
most
grieuous
tormentes
,
both
in
bodie
&
soule
,
of
so
long
continuance
,
that
it
appeareth
vnto
me
,
thou
hast
forgotten
to
be
merciful
.
O
Lorde
,
howe
long
wilt
thou
intreate
me
in
this
maner
?
Hast
thou
forgotten
thy
louing
mercies
?
Or
hast
thou
lost
thy
fatherly
pitie
?
I
haue
no
longer
strength
to
cry
:
yea
,
and
for
sobbes
and
grones
I
am
so
weery
,
that
my
breath
faileth
me
:
the
teares
of
mine
eyes
●
herewith
nightly
I
haue
wette
my
bed
,
haue
borne
witnesse
of
my
vnfained
dolour
:
but
nowe
my
eyes
are
waxen
dimme
,
and
my
whole
strength
is
dried
vp
.
In
al
these
lamentable
complaintes
,
Dauid
speaketh
vnto
God
,
as
he
would
speake
vnto
a
man
that
were
ignorant
,
what
an
other
man
suffered
,
whereof
it
may
bee
vnderstood
,
howe
the
most
prudent
,
and
the
most
spiritual
man
iudgeth
of
God
in
the
time
of
troble
:
assuredly
he
thoght
that
God
taketh
no
care
for
him
,
and
therfore
doeth
hee
,
as
it
were
,
accuse
God
of
vnmindfulnesse
,
&
that
he
loketh
not
vpon
him
with
the
eyes
of
his
accustomed
mercie
,
as
clearely
by
these
worodes
may
be
espied
.
And
yet
are
Dauids
troubles
the
first
ground
&
cause
why
he
maketh
his
praiers
&
claimeth
to
be
heard
,
not
that
troubles
(
as
before
is
noted
)
are
sufficient
by
them selues
for
Gods
deliueraunce
,
but
in
recounting
his
dolour
,
Dauid
hath
a
secret
accesse
to
Gods
mercie
,
which
chalengeth
&
clameth
of
dutie
to
appertein
to
al
his
,
who
in
the
time
of
trouble
cal
for
his
support
,
help
,
&
aide
.
And
as
for
my
woorkes
,
such
as
the
fountaine
is
,
such
must
the
water
be
:
my
heart
is
corrupted
,
how
then
can
any
thing
that
is
cleene
proceede
from
the
same
?
And
so
what
euer
I
haue
receiued
,
that
either
was
,
is
,
or
hereafter
shal
be
within
my
corrupt
nature
,
al
proceedeth
from
thine
infinite
goodnesse
,
which
begunnest
to
shew
thy
mercie
before
that
I
knew
thee
:
canst
thou
then
leaue
mee
thus
in
my
extremitie
?
I
graunt
and
confesse
that
I
haue
offended
:
but
is
there
any
creature
cleane
and
perfect
in
such
perfection
,
that
without
mercie
he
may
abide
the
trial
of
thy
iustice
?
or
is
there
any
iniquitie
now
in
me
,
which
thy
wisedom
did
not
know
before
?
And
thus
I
appeale
to
thy
mercy
which
springeth
from
thy
infinite
goodnes
.
O
deere
mother
,
when
thy
afflicted
soule
can
thus
forsake
and
refuse
what
euer
is
in
man
,
&
can
stay
it self
(
how
litle
soeuer
it
be
)
vpon
Gods
infinite
goodnes
:
them
are
al
the
firie
darts
of
the
Deuil
quenched
,
&
he
is
repulsed
as
a
confounded
spirit
.
It
shal
hurt
nothing
,
albeeit
the
stormie
tempest
cease
not
sodainely
.
It
is
sufficient
that
this
anker
be
cast
out
,
which
assuredly
shal
preserue
your
ship
,
that
shee
violently
runne
not
vpon
the
forelande
of
desperation
.
This
I
write
beloued
in
the
Lorde
,
knowing
what
hath
beene
your
complaintes
heeretofore
,
in
that
you
found
your
faith
faint
,
that
you
could
not
repent
your
former
euil
life
,
chat
yee
found
no
disposition
nor
readinesse
to
good
workes
,
but
were
rather
carried
away
of
sinne
&
wickednesse
.
If
al
this
had
beene
true
,
yet
had
yee
beene
in
no
worse
case
,
then
was
the
Apostle
Paule
,
when
hee
cried
:
O
wretched
and
vnhappie
man
that
I
am
!
who
shal
deliuer
mee
from
this
body
of
sinne
?
But
I
assuredly
know
that
the
chiefe
part
of
your
trouble
proceedeth
from
malice
&
enuie
of
the
Diuel
,
who
would
perswade
to
your
hearte
,
that
yee
delighted
in
those
things
,
which
to
you
were
most
displeasing
.
For
howe
oft
haue
ye
complained
vpon
the
weakenes
of
your
faith
?
How
oft
haue
yee
lamented
the
imperfection
of
your
fleshe
?
The
teares
of
your
eies
haue
wi●nessed
before
God
,
that
yee
delighted
not
in
such
thinges
,
as
your
aduersary
falsly
layeth
to
your
charge
.
For
who
vseth
continually
too
mourne
in
those
thinges
that
are
pleasing
to
his
hearte
,
if
they
bee
present
with
him
at
al
times
?
Or
who
wil
desire
thinges
pleasing
:
to
bee
remoued
from
him
?
yee
haue
mourned
for
your
weakenesse
,
and
haue
desired
your
imperfection
to
bee
remoued
,
and
yee
haue
detested
all
sortes
of
idolatry
.
How
then
can
yee
think
that
yee
can
take
any
pleasure
in
the
same
?
Desp●ire
not
,
although
that
al
remembrance
of
Gods
goodnesse
or
worthinesse
bee
remoued
from
your
minde
▪
yee
haue
Dauid
,
Iob
,
Daniel
,
and
al
other
the
Saints
of
God
,
in
equal
sorte
with
you
▪
of
Dauid
and
Iob
,
yee
haue
hearde
,
and
Esay
making
his
heauie
complainte
for
the
plagues
of
the
people
of
Israel
openly
confesseth
that
al
had
sinned
,
that
their
righteousnes
was
nothing
but
filthinesse
,
that
none
sought
God
,
that
none
called
vpon
his
name
.
And
Daniel
in
his
prayer
like
wise
confesseth
,
that
al
had
wrought
wickedly
,
that
al
had
declined
from
God
,
yea
and
that
none
had
submitted
them selues
to
GOD
,
nor
yet
had
made
supplication
vnto
him
,
albeit
hee
had
punished
their
former
inobedience
:
and
therefore
saith
hee
,
that
they
did
not
alledge
their
owne
iustice
in
their
prayers
.
Consider
,
deare
Mother
,
that
no
mention
is
made
of
any
righteousness●
that
was
within
them selues
,
neither
yet
doe
they
glory
of
any
workes
or
vertues
,
that
they
had
wrought
before
,
for
they
vnderstood
that
God
was
authour
of
all
goodnesse
.
And
therefore
to
him
only
apperteineth
the
praise
.
But
as
for
their
sinnes
,
they
vnderstood
them
to
bee
the
infirmities
of
their
owne
fleshe
,
and
therfore
boldly
called
they
for
mercy
.
And
that
by
Gods
infinite
goodnesse
,
which
is
no
lesse
free
vnto
you
,
then
vnto
than
,
according
to
the
riches
of
his
liberal
graces
,
which
plentifully
he
powreth
foorth
vpon
al
them
that
cal
on
the
name
of
the
Lord
Iesus
.
The
third
and
last
grounde
of
Dauids
praiers
,
was
the
glory
and
and
praise
of
Gods
name
to
be
shewed
and
vttered
in
his
life
,
as
in
these
wordes
hee
declareth
.
For
there
is
no
remembrance
of
the●
in
death
:
who
landeth
thee
in
the
pitte
?
As
Dauid
woulde
say
:
O
Lorde
,
howe
shal
I
pray
and
declare
thy
goodnesse
,
when
I
am
dead
and
gone
downe
in
to
the
graue
?
I
is
not
thy
ordinary
course
,
to
haue
thy
myracles
and
wonderous
works
preached
vnto
men
by
those
,
that
are
buried
,
and
gone
downe
into
the
pit
:
those
that
are
dead
make
no
mention
of
thee
in
the
earth
.
And
therefore
,
O
Lorde
,
spare
thy
seruant
,
that
yee
for
a
time
I
may
shewe
and
witnesse
thy
wonderous
woorkes
vnto
mankinde
.
These
most
godly
affections
in
Dauid
did
ingender
in
him
a
vehement
horror
and
feare
of
death
,
besides
that
which
is
natural
and
common
to
al
men
,
bicause
he
perfectly
vnderstood
that
by
death
hee
shoulde
be
letted
any
further
to
aduance
the
glory
of
God
.
Of
this
same
he
complaineth
most
vehemently
in
the
88.
Psalm
,
where
apparauntly
hee
taketh
from
the
dead
,
sense
,
remembrance
,
feeling
▪
and
vnderstanding
,
aledging
that
God
worketh
no
miracles
by
the
dead
,
that
the
goodnes
of
God
cannot
be
preached
in
the
graue
,
nor
his
faith
by
perdition
,
and
that
his
meruellous
workes
,
are
not
knowne
in
darkenesse
.
By
which
speache
we
may
not
vnderstand
,
that
Dauid
taketh
all
sense
and
feeling
from
the
dead
,
●either
yet
that
they
which
are
dead
in
Christ
,
are
in
such
estate
,
that
by
God
they
haue
not
consolation
and
life
:
no
,
Christ
him selfe
doth
witnesse
the
contrary
:
but
Dauid
so
vehemently
expresseth
their
estate
and
condition
,
because
that
after
death
they
are
depriued
from
al
ordinatie
ministration
in
the
Church
of
God
.
None
of
those
that
are
departed
are
appointed
to
bee
preachers
of
Gods
glory
vnto
mankinde
.
But
after
death
they
ceasse
any
more
●o
aduannce
Gods
holy
name
,
heere
amongest
the
liuing
on
earth
,
and
so
shall
euen
they
in
that
behalfe
be
vnprofitable
to
the
congregation
,
as
touching
any
thing
that
they
can
do
,
either
in
body
or
soule
after
death
.
And
therefore
most
earnestly
Dauid
desired
to
▪
liue
in
Israel
,
for
the
further
manifestation
of
Gods
glory
.
Heere
is
to
bee
obserued
a
short
,
but
yet
a
most
necessary
note
,
which
is
this
,
what
the
thinges
bee
which
wee
ought
principally
to
seeke
in
this
transitorie
life
:
Not
those
for
the
which
the
blinde
world
contendeth
and
striueth
,
but
God
and
his
louing
kindnes
to
ward
mankind
,
his
amiable
promises
,
and
true
religion
to
be
aduanced
and
preached
vnto
others
our
brethren
that
be
ignorant
.
For
if
we
doe
not
,
we
may
rather
bee
counted
beastes
then
men
,
dead
stocks
,
not
liuing
creatures
,
yea
rather
thinges
that
bee
not
at
al
,
then
substance
,
hauing
either
being
,
or
life
.
Seeing
that
the
heauens
declare
the
glory
of
God
,
the
earth
with
the
whole
contentes
thereof
,
what
euer
they
bee
,
doe
geue
praise
to
his
holy
name
,
the
Sea
,
floods
and
fountaines
,
with
the
wonders
conteined
in
the
same
,
do
not
ceasse
to
make
manifest
the
wisedome
,
the
power
,
and
the
prouidence
of
their
creator
,
what
then
shal
be
saide
of
man
,
that
neither
seeketh
,
neither
regardeth
Gods
glory
?
Yea
what
shal
bee
iudged
of
those
,
that
not
onely
hinder
Gods
glory
,
but
also
declare
them selues
enimies
to
such
,
as
woulde
promote
it
?
I
must
speake
my
conscience
with
a
sorowful
heart
,
they
are
not
onely
dead
,
but
they
are
also
of
the
nature
of
him
by
whose
malice
and
enuie
,
death
entred
into
the
worlde
,
that
is
,
of
the
Diuel
.
But
them
I
omit
at
this
present
because
their
accusation
doeth
not
muche
apperteine
to
this
our
matter
,
whereof
nowe
I
must
make
an
ende
,
somewhat
contrary
to
my
minde
.
For
so
I
am
compelled
by
some
present
troubles
as
wel
of
body
,
as
of
Spirite
.
The
fourth
part
of
this
Psalm
I
omit
til
more
opportunitie
:
for
it
doth
not
much
appertaine
to
the
spiritual
crosse
,
but
it
is
as
it
were
a
Prophesie
spoken
against
all
such
,
as
reioyce
at
the
troubles
of
Gods
elect
,
who
assuredly
shal
be
confounded
and
sodenly
brought
to
shame
,
when
the
Lord
shal
heare
the
voices
of
the
sore
afflicted
.
Now
,
dearely
beloued
in
our
Sauiour
Christe
Iesus
,
seeing
that
the
spiritual
crosse
is
proper
to
the
children
of
God
,
seeing
that
it
is
geuen
to
vs
as
a
most
effectual
medicine
,
aswel
to
remome
diseases
,
as
to
plant
in
our
soules
most
notable
vertues
,
such
as
is
humilitie
,
mercy
,
contempt
of
our selues
,
and
continual
remembrance
of
our
owne
weakenesse
and
imperfection
.
And
seeing
that
you
haue
had
most
euident
signes
,
that
this
same
medicine
hath
wrought
in
you
a
part
of
al
the
promises
,
receiue
it
thankfully
of
your
fathers
hand
,
what
trouble
soeuer
it
bring
with
it
:
and
albeit
that
the
fleshe
grudge
,
yet
let
the
spirite
reioyce
,
stedfastly
looking
for
deliuerance
,
&
assuredly
yee
shall
obteine
according
to
the
goodwil
&
promise
of
him
who
cannot
deceiue
,
to
whom
bee
glory
for
euer
and
euer
before
his
congregation
.
Amen
.
Now
seeing
it
is
vncertaine
,
beloued
mother
,
if
euer
we
shal
meete
in
this
corporal
life
:
which
wordes
I
wil
not
that
yee
take
in
any
displeasure
:
for
if
God
continue
you
in
life
,
&
me
in
health
,
I
shal
attempt
to
speake
with
you
face
to
face
,
within
lesse
time
than
is
passed
since
the
one
of
vs
last
saw
the
other
.
And
be
ye
assured
,
beloued
mother
,
that
neither
shal
it
be
the
feare
of
death
,
nor
the
rage
of
the
Diuel
,
that
shal
let
me
:
&
therfore
I
beseech
you
take
not
my
wordes
in
that
part
,
as
though
I
were
not
minded
to
visite
you
againe
:
no
I
assure
you
,
that
onely
Gods
hande
shal
withholde
mee
.
But
because
our
life
doeth
vanish
as
the
smoke
before
the
blast
of
wind
,
my
conscience
moueth
me
to
write
vnto
you
,
as
though
I
should
●●ke
from
you
my
last
good
night
in
earth
.
The
summe
whereof
is
this
,
to
exhort
and
admonish
you
,
euen
as
that
yee
wil
haue
par●
with
Christ
Iesus
,
to
co●tine
we
in
the
doctrine
,
to
the
ende
,
which
before
the
world
ye
ha●e
professed
.
For
before
God
,
before
Christ
Iesus
his
so●ne
,
and
before
his
holy
angelles
,
neither
shame
I
●o
confesse
,
neither
doubt
I
to
affirme
that
the
doctrine
which
you
and
others
haue
hard
not
only
of
my
mouth
,
but
also
faithfully
taught
by
the
mouthes
of
many
others
,
of
whom
some
are
ex●l●d
,
some
cruelly
cast
into
prison
,
and
the
rest
commanded
to
silence
,
is
the
onely
worde
of
life
,
and
that
al
doctrine
repugning
to
the
same
,
is
diabolical
&
erronius
,
which
assuredly
shal
bring
death
,
and
perpetual
condemnation
,
to
al
those
which
shal
therto
condiscend
and
agree
.
And
therefore
,
Mother
,
be
not
moued
with
any
winde
,
but
sticke
to
Christe
in
the
day
of
this
his
battel
,
&
also
I
admonish
you
too
auoide
that
abhomination
which
oft
yee
haue
heard
by
me
affirmed
to
be
damnable
idolatrie
:
&
God
I
take
to
record
in
my
conscience
,
that
neither
then
,
neither
now
,
I
spake
,
nor
doe
speake
,
for
pleasure
or
hatred
of
any
liuing
creature
in
erth
,
whatsoeuer
that
it
be
,
but
as
my
coscience
was
certified
by
the
infallible
and
plain
word
of
God
,
from
which
I
praise
my
most
merciful
father
I
am
not
this
day
one
iote
remoued
.
Neither
〈◊〉
I
of
that
my
blessed
and
most
happie
societie
with
the
trueth
of
Christes
Gospel
,
vnto
which
it
hath
pleased
God
●o
●alme
,
the
most
wretched
of
others
:
neither
fore
think
I
that
God
hath
made
me
an
open
,
and
manifest
enemie
to
Papistrie
,
superstition
,
and
to
al
that
●ilthie
idolatrie
,
which
newly
is
erected
in
Gods
hotte
displeasure
:
neither
yet
would
I
recant
(
as
they
terme
it
)
one
sentence
of
my
former
doctrine
,
for
al
the
glory
,
riches
,
&
rest
that
is
in
earth
.
And
in
conclusion
,
I
would
not
bowe
my
●nee
before
that
most
abhominable
idol
,
for
al
the
torments
that
earthly
tyrantes
can
deuise
,
God
so
assisting
me
,
as
his
holie
spri●●
presently
moueth
me
to
write
vnfainedly
.
And
albei●
that
I
haue
in
the
beginning
of
this
battel
appered
to
play
the
fainte
Hearted
and
feeble
so●●●our
(
the
cause
I
remit
to
God
)
yet
my
prayer
is
,
that
I
may
be
restored
to
the
battel
againe
.
And
blessed
Bee
God
the
Father
of
our
Lorde
Iesus
Christ
,
I
am
not
left
so
bare
without
conforte
,
but
my
hope
is
to
obtaine
such
mercie
,
that
if
a
sodaine
ende
be
not
made
of
all
my
miseries
by
final
death
,
which
to
mee
were
no
smal
aduantage
:
that
yet
by
him
,
who
neuer
despised
the
sobbes
of
the
sore
afflicted
,
I
shal
be
so
incouraged
to
fight
,
that
England
and
Scotlande
shal
both
knowe
,
that
I
am
readie
to
suffer
more
,
than
either
pouertie
or
exile
:
for
the
profession
of
the
doctrine
and
that
heauenly
religion
,
whereof
it
hath
pleased
his
merciful
prouidence
,
to
make
me
amongst
others
a
simple
souldiour
,
and
witnesse
bearer
vnto
men
.
And
therfore
,
mother
,
let
no
feare
enter
into
your
hearte
,
as
that
I
escaping
the
furious
rage
of
those
rauening
wolues
,
(
that
for
our
vnthankfulnes
are
lately
loosed
from
their
bondes
)
doe
repent
any
thing
of
my
former
feruencie
:
no
,
mother
,
for
a
fewe
Sermons
by
me
to
be
made
within
England
,
my
heart
at
this
houre
coulde
bee
content
to
suffer
more
then
nature
were
able
to
sustaine
,
as
by
the
grace
of
the
most
mightie
and
most
merciful
God
,
who
onelie
is
God
of
comfort
and
consolation
,
through
Iesus
Christ
one
day
shal
be
knowen
.
In
the
meane
season
yet
once
again
as
it
were
my
final
good
night
,
and
last
testament
in
this
earth
,
in
the
bowels
of
Christ
Iesus
,
I
exhort
and
admonish
you
constantly
to
contine
we
with
the
veritie
,
which
yet
shal
triumph
&
obtaine
victorie
in
despite
of
Sa●●an
and
of
his
malice
.
And
auoid
ydolatrie
,
the
●aintainers
&
obeyers
where
of
shal
not
escape
the
sodaine
vengeance
of
God
,
which
shal
be
powred
sorth
vpon
them
,
according
to
the
ripenesse
of
their
iniquitie
.
And
when
they
shal
cry
,
quietnes
&
peace
,
(
which
neuer
remained
of
any
continuance
with
the
vngodly
)
then
shal
their
sodaine
destruction
come
vpon
them
without
prouision
.
The
God
of
peace
and
consolation
,
who
of
his
power
infinite
and
inuincible
,
hath
called
from
death
the
true
and
great
bishop
of
our
soules
,
and
in
him
hath
placed
our
flesh
aboue
principalities
&
powers
,
of
what
preheminence
soeuer
they
bee
,
in
heauen
or
in
earth
,
assist
you
with
his
holie
spirite
in
such
constancie
and

,
that
Sathan
and
his
assaultes

To
