ANd
there
was
a
Prophetesse
one
Anna
,
the
daughter
of
Phanuel
,
of
the
tribe
of
Asher
,
which
was
of
a
great
age
,
after
she
had
liued
with
an
husband
seuen
yeares
from
her
virginity
.
37
And
she
was
widow
about
fourescore
and
foure
yeares
,
and
went
not
out
of
the
Temple
,
but
serued
God
with
fastings
and
prayers
,
night
and
day
.
38
She
then
comming
at
the
same
instant
vpon
them
,
confessed
likewise
the
Lord
,
and
spake
of
him
to
all
that
looked
for
redemption
in
Hierusalem
.
39.
And
when
they
had
performed
all
things
according
to
the
law
of
the
Lord
,
they
returned
into
Galile
to
their
owne
city
Nazareth
.

fidem
astruant
:
It
standeth
with
all
congruity
that
such
should
publish
faith
,
as
languish
after
faith
;
of
which
number
I
hold
this
Anna
to
be
,
produced
of
the
holy
Ghost
in
this
text
,
as
a
worthy
witnesse
of
Christ
his
blessed
birth
and
incarnation
,
and
so
to
be
preached
in
the
high
feast
of
this
his
solemnity
.
In
whom
I
obserue
three
things
of
speciall
note
,
for
the
practise
and
imitation
of
all
such
as
loue
the
Lord
Christ
and
his
profession
.
First
,
the
description
of
her
person
:
full
of
modestie
.
Secondly
,
the
practise
of
her
life
:
full
of
pietie
.
And
lastly
,
the
profession
and
publishing
of
her
Christ
:
full
of
verity
.
And
with
this
threefold
cable
of
modesty
,
pietie
,
and
veritie
,
is
she
haled
vp
to
heauen
;
and
hauing
powred
this
pretious
balme
vpon
the
head
of
Christ
on
earth
,
And
first
for
the
person
,
ye
see
here
a
woman
described
in
your
sight
,
not
wanton
in
her
lookes
,
garish
in
her
apparell
,
with
painted
face
,
curled
haire
,
or
naked
brests
,
prepared
for
the
Theater
of
men
;
but
graue
in
countenance
,
modest
in
behauiour
,
and
garnished
with
all
religious
vertues
within
,
fit
for
the
temple
of
God
.
Such
saints
are
seemely
to
speak
to
the
praise
of
our
Sauiour
,
to
professe
his
name
,
to
witnesse
his
truth
,
to
swaddle
the
babe
,
and
to
sing
his
Lullaby
,
as
this
day
,
in
solace
of
their
saued
soules
,
and
full
solemnity
of
his
blessed
birth
and
incarnation
.
And
now
that
a
woman
doth
witnesse
see
the
mercifull
prouidence
,
of
our
God
,
who
would
haue
the
comming
of
his
Christ
to
be
declared
by
all
sorts
of
people
,
and
sexe
;
that
all
might
be
inexcuseable
who
did
not
beleeue
him
,
and
all
might
be
cleared
who
did
professe
him
.
He
took
testimnoie
from
the
pure
nature
of
Angels
who
sung
to
his
praise
,
Glory
be
to
God
on
hie
,
and
in
earth
peace
,
He
took
testimony
from
the
cleer
nature
of
the
heauens
,
which
shined
to
his
praise
when
he
said
,
Vidimus
stellam
eius
in
oriente
,
All
that
heard
them
,
wondred
at
those
things
which
were
told
them
of
the
shepheards
.
Old
Simeon
lapped
him
in
his
armes
,
and
layd
him
in
his
heart
with
this
profession
of
his
praise
,
Lord
now
lettest
thou
thy
seruant
depart
in
peace
,
according
to
thy
word
;
I
haue
seene
enough
,
I
haue
my
loue
,
I
haue
loued
enough
,
I
haue
my
life
.
Aged
Anna
here
an
holy
widow
confessed
likewise
the
Lord
,
and
spake
of
him
to
all
that
looked
for
redemption
in
Ierusalem
.
Yea
Iohn
in
the
wombe
springing
,
and
children
in
Rama
crying
,
confessed
Christ
in
their
death
,
ere
they
could
speake
of
him
in
their
life
.
Finally
Christ
would
be
professed
both
of
men
,
&
women
,
virgins
,
wiues
and
widowes
,
of
old
men
and
babes
,
yong
men
and
maids
,
of
holy
Patriarches
,
inspired
Prophets
,
renowned
kings
,
that
all
states
and
both
sexes
might
exspect
redemption
by
grace
,
from
which
they
were
fallen
by
transgression
:
Whereunto
accorded
Ambrose
when
hee
sayd
,
Prophetauerat
Symeon
,
prophetauerat
copulata
con●ugio
,
prophetauerat
virgo
,
debuit
etiam
vidua
prophetare
,
nequa
aut

deesset
,
aut
sexus
:
Simeon
prophecied
,
the
maried
wife
prophecied
,
a
virgin
prophecied
:
yea
and
a
widow
must
prophecie
too
,
lest
Christ
might
seeme
wanting
to
either
sexe
,
or
to
any
profession
.
And
it
is
further
to
be
obserued
for
the
credit
of
the
cause
in
hand
,
that
none
must
witnesse
their
Christ
,
or
publish
his
praise
,
but
such
as
liued
to
loue
him
,
according
to
that
,
I
haue
beleeued
,
therefore
I
haue
spoken
.
Abraham
was
glad
to
see
my
daye
,
saith
Christ
,
Mitte
quem
missurus
es
.
Dauid
sighed
after
him
,
and
therefore
he
said
,
I
will
not
go
into
the
tabernacle
of
mine
house
,
nor
into
my
bed
,
nor
will
I
giue
mine
eyes
sleepe
,
or
rest
to
the
temples
of
my
head
,
vntill
I
find
out
the
place
that
is
appointed
for
my
Lord
,
the
tabernacle
of
the
mighty
God
of
●acob
.
Now
the
mystery
being
reuealed
vnto
him
,
he
said
presently
,
Behold
we
haue
heard
it
at
Ephrata
,
which
is
Bethleem
,
and
found
it
in
the
wood
:
and
we
will
enter
into
his
tabernacle
,
and
worship
before
his
footestoole
.
Esay
ioyed
at
the
birth
,
and
therefore
he
spake
of
him
,
&
said
,
A
child
is
borne
,
and
a
sonne
is
giuen
.
Ieremy
of
Anathoth
in
the
land
of
Beniamin
was
full
of
the
newes
,
Behold
I
will
create
a
new
thing
vpon
the
earth
,
A
virgin
shall
inuiron
a
man
.
So
was
Ezechiel
by
the
riuer
Kebar
,
and
Daniel
by
the
bankes
of
Vlay
,
The
vse
of
the
doctrine
in
respect
of
vs
is
this
,
that
if
men
will
be
Prophets
to
professe
Christ
,
and
women
with
Anna
wil
be
prophetesses
to
confesse
the
Lord
,
&
to
speake
of
him
to
all
that
looke
for
redemption
in
Israel
;
they
must
both
beleeue
the
Lord
,
loue
the
Lord
,
and
liue
in
him
.
Else
will
the
Lord
say
as
he
did
to
the
wicked
,
Why
takest
thou
my
word
in
thy
mouth
,
and
thou
thy selfe
hatest
to
be
reformed
.
Or
else
as
he
did
to
the
damned
diuell
,
when
he
called
him
the
holy
one
of
God
,
yet
the
Lord
rebuked
him
,
saying
:
Hold
thy
peace
,
and
come
out
of
him
;
as
and
if
he
should
say
:
Ye
haue
taken
a
profession
vppon
you
this
day
(
my
deere
brethren
)
to
confesse
with
Anna
the
Lords
Christ
,
to
publish
his
praise
and
to
solemnize
the
feast
of
his
blessed
birth
and
being
;
it
stands
you
vpon
therefore
to
see
vnto
it
,
that
by
no
leud
conuersation
you
blemish
his
birth
,
but
so
to
demeane
your selues
in
all
modesty
,
piety
and
godlines
,
as
you
may
be
worthy
witnesses
of
his
truth
;
knowing
with
the
blessed
Apostle
Paul
,
I
dislike
not
of
your
feasting
if
Christ
be
your
guest
,
and
withall
if
you
feede
vpon
his
faith
in
the
faire
assembly
of
his
saints
.
I
dislike
not
of
your
houses
trimmed
vp
with
Holly
,
Bay
,
and
Iuie
,
so
your
hearts
be
prepared
for
God
,
and
Christ
to
be
your
garland
:
your
garments
are
tollerable
,
Glory
be
to
God
on
high
,
and
in
earth
peace
,
good
will
towards
men
;
ye
may
reioice
,
I
say
ye
may
reioyce
:
for
such
mirth
&
musicke
is
pleasant
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
sweet
vnto
his
saints
:
yea
it
is
as
one
saith
,
Mel
in
ore
,
in
aure
melos
;
in
corde
Iubileus
,
Hony
to
the
mouth
,
musicke
to
the
eare
,
a
Iubily
to
thy
heart
.
But
if
you
will
keepe
this
feast
with
your
dough
sowred
,
This
is
the
day
which
the
Lord
hath
made
;
but
I
feare
me
few
can
say
,
We
will
reioyce
,
and
be
glad
in
it
.
The
Lord
deliuer
vs
from
Baltassars
feasts
,
that
we
neuer
take
the
golden
and
siluer
vessels
brought
from
the
temple
at
Ierusalem
(
I
meane
our
sanctified
soules
,
We
wil
rise
vp
early
in
the
morning
,
and
offer
vp
burnt
offerings
▪
that
is
our
broken
hearts
,
with
sighes
and
sobs
to
the
number
of
you
all
:
for
Iob
thought
,
and
so
do
we
,
it
may
be
that
my
sonnes
haue
sinned
and
blasphemed
God
in
their
hearts
.
The
Lord
giue
vs
grace
to
temper
our
mirth
with
moane
,
our
solace
,
Amen
.
Amen
.
Secondly
,
in
this
testimony
of
Anna
,
I
doe
obserue
paucity
o●
professors
,
and
that
they
are
few
in
the
world
who
exercise
the
worke
of
faith
to
God
,
or
charitie
towards
men
.
For
of
all
the
thousands
in
Ierusalem
,
&
ten
thousands
in
Israel
,
onely
foure
persons
,
to
wit
,
Mary
,
Ioseph
,
Simeon
and
Anna
attended
the
busines
in
cherishing
the
child
Iesus
:
two
at
his
birth
in
Bethlem
receiued
him
into
the
world
,
There
was
no
King
to
protect
him
,
no
Prophet
to
declare
him
,
no
Priest
to
present
him
in
the
Temple
:
he
came
,
I
say
,
Cum
altum
erat
silentium
&
nullus
Propheta
erat
reliquus
,
when
all
was
hush
,
and
neuer
a
Prophet
left
.
Onely
Marie
was
mother
,
midwife
,
nurse
and
all
;
It
is
,
and
hath
beene
euer
the
plaint
of
the
Church
,
much
to
deplore
the
frailty
of
her
faith
,
with
the
barrennes
of
her
wombe
,
and
to
be
like
the
little
worme
Iaacob
,
which
was
trod
vpon
with
euery
foote
;
like
little
Zoar
in
respect
of
great
Sodome
!
Oh
it
is
but
a
little
one
and
my
soule
shal
liue
.
A
brand
taken
out
of
the
fire
,
so
are
the
faithfull
of
God
,
few
and
fined
.
Totus
mundus
in
maligno
positus
,
and
broad
is
the
way
that
leadeth
to
destruction
,
and
many
there
be
that
treade
it
:
But
narrow
is
the
way
that
leadeth
to
saluation
,
and
few
there
be
that
hit
it
.
All
the
Prophets
runne
vpon
this
string
,
and
sound
this
dolefull
musicke
:
Our
dayes
are
no
better
,
nay
surely
worse
.
If
a
man
be
religious
,
he
shall
be
censured
;
if
he
be
prophane
,
he
may
be
pampered
;
and
who
will
beleeue
our
preaching
?
is
the
mournefull
complaint
of
all
the
Prophets
of
this
time
:
few
follow
,
many
leaue
vs
:
and
of
those
few
that
followe
,
I
feare
in
fine
,
if
Christ
support
not
we
shall
be
constrained
to
say
as
he
did
to
the
disciples
shrinking
,
Vultis
&
vos
abire
,
Surely
,
surely
,
from
his
birth
to
his
buriall
,
the
world
was
euer
barren
of
faith
.
And
if
you
please
yet
further
to
vrge
it
,
you
shall
find
that
they
were
but
few
who
did
helpe
this
blessed
Babe
,
either
in
his
life
,
or
at
his
death
.
The
earth
was
barren
of
faith
,
when
at
his
birth
Angels
from
heauen
must
sing
his
Lullaby
.
So
was
it
of
entertainment
,
when
there
was
no
roome
for
him
in
the
Inne
,
but
the
stable
must
be
his
chamber
,
and
the
cratch
his
cradle
:
beasts
of
the
field
had
their
holes
,
and
fowles
of
the
aire
had
their
nests
:
but
the
Sonne
of
man
had
not
whereon
to
lay
his
head
.
It
was
barren
of
preachers
,
when
the
shepheards
that
kept
their
sheepe
vpon
the
downes
of
Bethlehem
,
must
leaue
their
flockes
and
publish
abroad
the
thing
which
was
told
them
of
that
child
.
It
was
barren
of
protection
by
kings
to
be
nurcing
fathers
,
or
queenes
to
be
nurcing
mothers
,
when
Herode
was
vp
,
and
all
Ierusalem
,
seeking
the
life
of
the
child
to
kill
it
.
It
was
barren
of
Scripture
when
the
Iewes
had
locked
it
vp
,
and
the
Gentiles
must
be
guided
by
a
starre
to
the
place
where
the
Babe
was
.
Finally
,
it
was
barren
of
mourners
at
his
buriall
,
when
only
Ioseph
of
Arimathaea
,
and
Nicodemus
with
a
few
of
the
Maries
followed
the
hearse
,
and
gaue
him
the
last
duty
of
eternall
obsequie
.
And
so
to
conclude
,
and
close
with
thy
religious
heart
,
neuer
man
spake
like
this
man
,
and
yet
who
did
beleeue
him
?
neuer
man
did
like
this
man
:
and
yet
who
would
obey
him
?
neuer
man
died
like
this
man
,
and
yet
who
pitied
him
?
Not
he
but
Barabas
was
in
the
popular
cry
of
all
,
and
Hosanna
in
the
highest
,
was
turned
to
crucifie
in
the
lowest
.
All
I
haue
sayd
,
is
for
our
instruction
and
comfort
.
Instruction
to
teach
vs
that
multitude
is
no
true
note
of
the
Church
of
God
,
but
rather
the
contrary
:
for
paucitie
of
professors
,
barrennes
of
faith
,
&
the
narrow
way
,
haue
euer
bin
plaints
of
the
true
Church
,
and
companions
indiuisible
,
so
signified
by
Christ
,
and
to
our
comfort
when
he
sayd
,
Feare
not
my
little
flocke
,
for
it
is
your
fathers
mind
to
giue
you
a
kingdome
.
I
say
,
you
my
little
flocke
,
and
not
the
multitude
of
this
wicked
world
;
for
pietie
is
not
for
popularity
.
The
comfort
we
gaine
is
this
,
that
wee
knowe
wee
are
of
God
,
though
the
whole
world
lie
in
wickednesse
.
Neuer
should
I
deeme
my selfe
to
be
of
the
true
Church
,
but
for
it
paucitie
.
Neuer
should
I
thinke
of
Christ
to
be
the
Sonne
of
God
,
but
in
his
pouertie
.
The
wreathed
crown
of
thornes
vpon
the
head
of
Christ
,
is
more
pretious
then
all
the
diadems
of
princes
;
and
the
little
flocke
is
of
more
esteem
in
the
eies
of
Christ
,
then
are
all
the
heards
of
the
reprobate
.
The
Turkes
and
Sara●ens
who
persecute
the
cause
of
Christ
and
Christians
,
are
numberles
:
and
the
East
and
West
Indians
,
who
know
neither
God
,
nor
his
Christ
,
are
as
a
new
world
full
peopled
with
all
impietie
.
God
grant
they
do
not
stand
vp
in
iudgement
against
vs
in
that
great
day
,
to
reproue
vs
of
farre
greater
impietie
,
in
that
we
haue
neglected
so
great
saluation
in
this
our
happie
day
of
grace
:
wherein
Christ
,
I
much
feare
,
hath
not
the
gleanings
of
our
parishes
to
professe
him
,
of
our
wordes
to
praise
him
,
of
our
workes
to
honour
him
,
of
our
thoughts
to
ioy
in
him
,
so
as
if
it
euer
might
be
said
,
now
is
the
time
with
vs
,
Multiplicasti
gentem
non
magnificasti
laetitiam
,
thou
hast
multiplied
our
nation
with
all
temporall
blessings
,
but
thou
hast
not
increased
our
ioy
in
heauenly
comforts
.
Our
soules
are
sad
,
our
zeale
is
cold
,
our
spirits
are
dumpish
,
our
faith
is
fraile
;
Now
let
vs
proceed
,
it
may
be
some
wil
obiect
:
How
is
it
that
women
,
as
Anna
and
such
,
I
answer
,
although
the
office
of
teaching
in
the
Church
ordinarily
be
committed
of
God
to
men
;
yet
that
the
Lord
may
declare
his
freedome
in
teaching
,
and
that
he
is
a
free
agent
in
all
his
workes
,
and
tieth
himselfe
to
no
particular
:
he
hath
sometimes
endowed
women
with
a
propheticall
spirit
,
to
publish
his
praise
,
and
such
a
one
was
this
Anna
,
Nay
I
know
not
how
,
but
though
in
these
dayes
women
be
most
wanting
in
filling
of
Churches
following
of
Christ
,
and
publishing
his
praise
:
Mary
the
blessed
virgin
and
mother
of
Christ
,
no
sooner
receiued
the
message
from
heauen
of
the
conception
in
her
wombe
,
Blessed
art
thou
amongst
women
,
because
the
fruite
of
thy
wombe
is
blessed
.
Where
note
that
Mary
is
blessed
,
not
for
her
virginity
,
or
any
worth
in
her selfe
,
but
for
that
the
fruite
of
her
wombe
was
blessed
;
and
yet
may
I
say
with
Augustine
,
What
shal
I
say
more
?
Women
they
were
that
ministred
vnto
him
in
his
life
,
at
his
death
,
and
after
his
death
.
In
his
life
,
when
they
left
their
houses
,
And
women
they
were
that
ministred
vnto
him
after
his
death
,
Factae
sunt
Apostolorum
apostolae
.
And
how
negligent
soeuer
our
women
be
in
all
duty
to
God
and
his
Christ
;
yet
know
they
this
to
their
sin
and
shame
(
and
I
feare
to
their
iudgement
and
confusion
one
day
)
that
though
they
wil
not
conceiue
Christ
,
yet
a
woman
did
;
though
they
will
not
receiue
Christ
,
yet
●
woman
did
;
though
they
will
not
follow
Christ
,
yet
women
did
,
and
ministred
vnto
him
of
all
their
substance
;
though
they
will
not
behold
Christ
in
his
passion
,
yet
women
did
:
And
though
they
will
bring
no
spice
,
balme
or
Syndon
to
bury
Christ
,
yet
women
did
:
though
they
will
neither
come
to
the
Church
,
nor
abide
in
it
:
yet
Anna
wil
,
and
there
continue
both
night
and
day
,
fasting
,
praying
,
&
praising
the
babe
Christ
.
I
tell
you
plaine
,
these
women
wil
stand
vp
in
iudgement
against
you
one
day
,
for
that
they
haue
followed
the
Lord
,
and
ye
are
fallen
from
him
:
they
haue
lulled
the
Lord
in
mercy
,
and
ye
haue
wakened
him
in
iudgement
:
they
haue
found
him
in
Bethel
,
and
yee
haue
lost
him
in
Bethauen
.
I
say
in
this
,
that
they
haue
bene
officious
to
serue
him
in
all
duty
,
both
in
his
life
,
at
his
death
,
and
after
death
:
and
ye
haue
neglected
him
in
all
,
serued
your selues
,
and
done
him
no
deuotion
.
Martha
,
Martha
,
thou
carest
and
art
troubled
about
many
things
,
one
thing
is
needfull
.
Hauing
thus
made
good
vnto
you
the
sufficiency
of
restees
,
manifesting
Christ
his
blessed
natiuity
,
all
of
speciall
note

For
Pietie

For

For
Perspicuitie
:
It
now
remaineth
that
we
come
to
the
description
of
Anna
her
line
,
life
,
and
doctrine
of
Christ
;
euery
circumstance
whereof
is
sufficient
to
giue
credite
to
the
cause
she
hath
in
hand
,
and
grace
her
person
.
And
first
for
her
name
,
it
is
worthy
●our
consideration
,
that
it
is
a
name
of
worth
:
for
Canna
by
interpretation
,
is
gracious
,
Bonum
nomen
,
bonum
omen
;
of
which
word
,
Iohn
was
called
the
Harbenge●
〈◊〉
Christ
:
And
Anna
the
mother
o●
Samuel
,
a
word
proper
to
both
sexes
;
to
giue
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
neither
is
of
worth
with
God
,
but
by
speciall
grace
preuenting
,
attending
,
perfecting
:
for
by
grace
ye
are
saued
,
not
of
your selues
;
it
is
the
gift
of
God
,
And
here
giue
me
leaue
a
little
to
taxe
the
pride
of
this
world
,
who
giue
names
rather
sauoring
of
flesh
and
bloud
,
then
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
practise
of
the
godly
.
Such
were
the
cosins
of
Zachary
and
Elizabeth
,
Cleipe
him
not
Zachary
,
Wouldest
thou
distinguish
child
from
child
?
let
their
names
be
significant
:
so
did
the
Iewes
of
old
,
and
it
were
not
farre
amisse
for
Christians
to
practise
the
same
now
;
that
as
the
Lord
hath
made
them
thine
by
nature
,
so
thou
should
appropriate
them
his
by
grace
,
naming
them
of
some
great
mercy
or
speciall
grace
flowing
from
him
.
That
names
should
be
significant
,
it
may
appeare
by
the
practise
of
all
the
godly
.
Adam
of
red
earth
,
so
called
by
God
himselfe
.
Sheth
,
Sheth
called
his
sonne
Enoch
,
which
is
desperation
.
Kenan
called
his
son
Mahalaleel
,
which
is
perceiuing
death
Rahel
yeelding
vp
the
ghost
in
her
painfull
trauell
,
Of
such
significant
names
of
mans
misery
the
Scripture
is
full
▪
one
I
cannot
passe
in
silence
,
The
Lord
grant
that
wee
haue
neuer
cause
so
to
say
,
so
to
christen
our
children
,
or
so
to
sigh
to
the
sorrowe
of
our
sinfull
soules
,
when
as
for
our
vnthankfulnesse
,
the
glorie
shall
go
from
England
.
The
vse
of
all
is
this
:
that
as
nere
as
we
can
,
wee
should
cleipe
our
children
with
significant
names
,
such
as
are
no
sooner
heard
,
but
they
should
make
an
impression
in
vs
&
them
,
either
of
the
Lords
mercie
,
or
our
owne
miserie
.
But
and
if
we
will
take
in
the
pride
of
our
harts
,
such
names
sauoring
of
flesh
and
bloud
as
Dauid
did
,
when
he
called
his
sonne
Absalon
,
which
is
the
fathers
peace
:
As
for
prophane
names
taken
from
the
Gentiles
,
and
such
as
sauour
of
idolatry
,
away
with
them
,
as
Iupiter
,
Mercurie
,
Venus
&c.
Names
we
may
take
of
our
ancestors
,
so
wee
follow
their
vertues
,
as
Dauid
,
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
Iacob
.
It
is
written
of
one
,
Massala
Coruinus
.
that
he
was
so
obliuious
,
that
he
had
forgotten
his
owne
name
.
I
feare
there
bee
many
such
who
little
regard
to
follow
the
vertues
of
such
as
they
would
bee
called
after
;
yea
oftentimes
wee
heare
the
sound
of
our
names
,
but
we
forget
the
signification
.
The
daughter
of
Phanuel
.
From
her
gracious
name
,
now
come
wee
to
the
faithfull
family
whereof
she
was
descended
,
which
is
here
said
to
be
Phanuel
.
A
gracious
childe
no
doubt
,
of
gratious
parents
,
I
meane
,
a
flourishing
branch
of
a
fruitfull
tree
:
for
Phanuel
is
Peniel
mentioned
,
Gene.
32.30
.
which
is
the
face
of
God
,
being
the
place
where
Iacob
wrastled
with
the
Angell
,
&
said
,
I
haue
seene
God
face
to
face
,
and
my
life
is
preserued
.
In
memorie
whereof
Phanuel
learned
3.
things
,
notable
presidents
for
fathers
of
families
to
follow
,
in
making
holy
their
children
and
houshold
.
1
The
sight
of
God
in
his
word
,
thus
:
I
haue
seene
God
face
to
face
.
2
The
wrastling
with
God
for
a
blessing
by
powerfull
prayer
,
3
The
assurance
of
Gods
mercie
and
blessing
after
such
fight
&
contention
,
in
these
words
:
my
life
is
preserued
.
Let
this
bee
a
modell
to
frame
your
families
by
:
Abraham
,
Cornelius
,
Abed-Edō
,
Lazarus
at
Bethania
,
and
Iosua
,
when
he
resolued
&
said
,
If
it
seem
euill
vnto
you
to
serue
the
Lord
,
choose
you
this
day
whom
you
will
serue
:
Godlines
is
great
gaine
,
whereunto
appertaineth
not
onely
the
things
of
this
life
,
but
of
the
life
to
come
.
The
remembrance
of
the
iust
is
with
praise
,
but
the
name
of
the
wicked
is
with
rottennesse
:
Let
the
rule
of
the
Apostle
guide
you
in
the
bringing
vp
of
your
children
and
familie
in
nurture
,
&
holy
discipline
.
If
there
be
any
that
prouideth
not
for
his
owne
,
Which
is
true
and
may
be
verified
,
Men
thinke
it
sufficient
if
they
be
godly
themselues
,
though
their
children
bee
riotous
.
The
Senate
&
people
of
Rome
as
Tullie
recordeth
,
sent
euery
yeare
six
of
their
Princes
children
to
the
land
of
Hetruria
,
there
to
learne
the
art
of
diuination
.
To
credit
the
profession
of
diuinity
,
then
Princes
children
were
sent
to
see
into
the
entrals
of
beasts
,
&
flight
of
birds
;
our
inspection
now
is
deeper
,
and
we
soare
higher
,
euen
into
the
bloudy
wounds
of
a
sweete
sauiour
,
Samuel
)
Nazarites
for
the
Lord
,
I
will
bring
him
that
he
may
appeare
before
the
Lord
,
and
there
abide
for
euer
.
The
Lord
from
Horeb
inioyned
this
exercise
to
all
fathers
,
that
they
should
teach
their
children
thus
:
The
liuing
:
the
liuing
,
hee
shall
confesse
thee
,
as
I
doe
this
day
,
the
father
to
the
children
shall
declare
thy
truth
.
And
Paule
leaueth
it
for
an
instruction
irreuocable
:
Ye
fathers
prouoke
not
your
children
to
wrath
,
but
bring
them
vp
in
instruction
,
&
information
of
the
Lord
.
Of
the
Tribe
of
Ashur
.
That
Anna
her
testimony
of
Christ
might
bee
of
greater
credit
,
shee
is
here
commended
for
the
tribe
wherof
she
came
,
And
why
the
spirit
of
God
hath
beene
so
carefull
to
distinguish
tribe
from
tribe
,
in
the
course
of
all
the
scriptures
;
which
was
I
assure
you
for
no
other
cause
but
to
find
out
the
promised
seede
,
euen
Christ
the
Messias
and
sauiour
of
all
the
world
,
his
blessed
line
and
linage
.
I
say
,
to
proue
the
incarnation
,
that
sith
it
was
his
good
pleasure
to
bowe
the
heauens
and
come
downe
to
bee
manifested
in
the
flesh
,
it
might
appeare
in
what
flesh
.
For
as
in
the
search
of
Achans
stealth
Iosua
seuered
tribe
from
tribe
,
So
search
the
scripture
,
&
you
shall
finde
in
the
booke
of
generations
,
how
carefull
the
Spirit
hath
been
to
seuer
tribe
from
tribe
,
house
from
house
,
man
from
man
,
till
it
came
to
Iesus
Christ
,
the
son
of
Dauid
,
the
sonne
of
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
Iacob
,
and
Iudah
.
Now
that
Anna
the
prophetesse
is
of
the
tribe
of
Ashur
,
and
neither
of
the
tribe
of
Leui
or
Iudah
,
it
is
much
to
instruction
and
consolation
,
to
see
that
neither
the
spirit
of
prophesie
is
tyed
to
Leui
,
For
if
you
looke
into
the
booke
of
God
,
yee
shall
find
that
Ashur
was
the
sonne
of
Zilpa
,
handmaid
to
Lea.
Gen.
30.12.13
.
O
Lord
how
wonderfull
are
thy
mercies
,
and
waies
past
finding
out
!
The
lawful
wife
despised
,
the
handmaid
respected
,
&
of
her
must
come
Ashur
one
of
the
tribes
in
Israel
;
and
of
that
tribe
sealed
vnto
saluation
,
as
many
as
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
By
Moses
,
a
religious
,
and
as
it
were
a
pregnant
prophesie
of
this
Anna
the
daughter
of
Phanuel
:
for
saith
he
,
Ashur
shal
be
blessed
with
children
,
and
he
shall
be
acceptable
vnto
his
brethren
,
and
shal
dip
his
foote
in
oile
.
Thy
shoes
shall
be
iron
and
brasse
,
and
thy
strength
shall
continue
as
long
as
thou
liuest
.
For
the
first
,
Nay
,
many
in
respect
of
this
,
that
they
are
great
,
noble
,
princely
,
&
haue
dipt
their
foote
in
oile
,
as
was
said
of
Ashur
,
they
take
occasion
thereby
to
wax
proud
,
vaine
,
cruell
against
the
poore
,
&
grieuous
ouer
the
Saints
of
God
;
respecting
religion
with
like
reuerence
as
Ruben
did
his
fathers
bed
,
who
defiled
it
,
and
so
do
they
:
&
therefore
I
may
say
as
he
did
,
Honour
,
noblenes
,
and
gentility
,
stand
not
so
much
in
your
descent
as
in
your
ascent
;
not
how
you
are
descended
of
men
,
but
how
you
doe
ascend
to
God
;
it
is
not
the
greatnesse
of
your
bloud
,
but
the
generosity
of
your
spirit
,
soaring
like
Eagles
where
Christ
is
,
feeding
vpon
him
your selues
,
&
bringing
him
downe
for
others
repast
,
to
iustifie
that
:
Kings
shall
be
thy
nursing
,
But
come
we
to
Moses
prophesie
of
Ashur
,
which
seemes
more
proper
to
the
present
occasion
,
&
as
it
were
,
a
pregnant
prophesy
of
Anna
:
Ashur
shall
bee
blessed
in
his
children
,
&c.
Ashur
in
Phanuel
,
Phanuel
in
Anna
,
Anna
in
her
Christ
,
of
whom
shee
trauelled
in
expectation
,
till
shee
saw
him
in
the
flesh
presented
in
the
Temple
.
Ashur
was
blessed
in
his
children
,
Anna
in
her
Christ
.
Ad
to
the
blessing
of
the
faithfull
children
,
a
singular
and
rare
constancy
in
the
faith
,
by
such
obedience
thereunto
as
appertaineth
,
mentioned
in
this
:
Thy
shoes
shall
bee
yron
and
brasse
,
and
thy
strength
shall
continue
as
long
as
thou
liuest
:
or
as
it
is
in
one
translation
according
with
the
originall
:
Sicut
dies
iuuentutis
tuae
,
ita
et
senectus
tua
.
True
in
Anna
,
if
euer
in
any
of
that
tribe
,
whose
shoes
were
yron
and
brasse
;
she
stedily
stoode
to
the
faith
of
Christ
from
the
first
day
of
her
virginity
,
to
the
last
day
of
her
widdowhead
:
I
say
,
so
long
as
she
liued
,
shee
did
continue
a
virgine
,
a
wife
,
a
widdow
,
and
was
found
faithfull
and
constant
in
all
estates
.
Sicut
dies
iuuentutis
ita
et
senectutis
:
As
was
her
youth
,
so
was
her
age
.
A
iust
reproofe
to
the
men
and
women
of
these
our
wretched
dayes
:
wherein
for
the
most
part
,
all
are
shod
with

Which
was
of
a
great
age
,
after
shee
had
liued
with
an
husband
seuen
years
from
her
virginity
,
&c.
In
the
description
of
Anna
her
person
,
I
haue
told
you
that
she
was
by
profession
a
Prophetesse
,
by
name
gracious
,
of
a
religious
familie
,
and
of
an
honourable
Tribe
.
It
now
remaineth
,
we
come
to
the
maturity
of
her
age
,
and
threfold
state
of
her
life
,
which
she
passed
in
all
godlines
&
honesty
:
all
to
make
her
witnesse
of
greater
credit
,
to
the
honour
of
her
Christ
,
whom
she
published
For
as
the
wise
man
saith
,
Age
is
a
crowne
of
glory
,
when
it
is
found
in
the
way
of
righteousnes
Pro.
16.31
.
That
is
,
when
it
is
ioyned
with
religion
▪
or
else
the
elder
that
the
wicked
are
,
the
more
they
are
to
be
abhorred
.
Her
age
argued
her
honesty
,
vertue
,
and
godly
life
:
for
the
sinner
,
As
one
flood
puts
on
another
till
they
come
to
the
great
Ocean
,
and
then
they
are
swallowed
vp
:
so
one
sinne
puts
on
another
,
till
we
come
to
the
graue
,
&
then
all
are
swallowed
vp
in
iudgement
.
I
say
therefore
,
Obsta
principijs
,
begin
betimes
,
and
let
thine
age
&
thine
honesty
grow
together
:
for
what
an
incongruity
is
it
to
bee
gray
in
haires
,
and
greene
in
affection
?
thy
yeares
to
go
forward
,
and
thy
religion
backward
?
It
is
said
of
Anna
,
Quod
haec
processerat
in
diebus
multis
,
because
with
the
course
of
her
yeares
,
ran
the
circle
of
her
religion
,
vertue
and
honesty
;
&
as
the
daies
of
her
youth
passed
,
so
the
vanities
of
this
world
euer
died
in
her
.
Erubescat
senectus
,
quae
se
emendare
non
potest
,
that
old
age
may
bee
ashamed
and
blush
,
that
knoweth
not
how
to
begin
to
amend
.
I
say
amend
,
for
that
manie
hauing
passed
their
youth
in
sinne
,
shame
,
and
ignorance
,
deeme
it
too
late
to
amend
when
they
are
old
;
as
when
they
say
,
I
am
now
too
old
to
learne
:
to
whom
I
answere
;
Etiamsi
senes
magis
decet
docere
,
quam
discere
,
magis
tamen
decet
discere
quam
ignorare
,
August
:
in
Epist.
ad
Heb.
Although
it
be
more
seemely
for
old
age
to
teach
then
to
be
taught
,
yet
is
it
much
more
seemely
to
learne
then
to
bee
ignorant
.
The
onely
thing
that
letteth
in
old
age
to
learne
and
to
amend
,
is
auarice
:
Cum
cuncta
vitia
in
sene
consenescunt
,
sola
auaritia
iuuenesc●t
:
When
all
vices
grow
old
in
age
,
onely
couetousnesse
waxeth
young
.
The
vse
of
all
is
,
that
our
old
age
should
euer
be
a
credit
to
our
place
and
calling
.
As
also
that
as
our
yeares
do
increase
,
sin
should
decrease
;
and
neede
we
had
,
by
Anna
her
example
to
weane
our
affections
in
youth
,
that
they
do
not
ouerule
vs
in
our
age
.
Ex
peruersa
voluntate
facta
est
consuetudo
,
et
dum
consuetudini
non
resistitur
,
facta
est
necessitas
,
of
a
froward
wil
is
ingendred
an
euill
custome
,
&
while
custome
is
not
withstood
,
it
growes
to
a
necessity
.
Peccata
senum
praedicantur
in
quid
,
Old
mens
sins
are
essentiall
.
I
do
further
obserue
out
of
the
text
,
that
she
passed
the
threfold
state
of
her
life
,
in
all
piety
and
godlinesse
.
A
virgin
,
a
wife
,
&
a
widow
,
she
passed
all
without
staine
to
any
,
a
pure
virgin
,
an
honourable
wife
,
a
religious
widow
:
so
she
liued
,
and
so
she
died
,
and
for
that
her
name
is
memorable
.
Now
of
these
three
kindes
of
life
,
to
wit
,
virginity
,
marriage
and
widdowhead
,
the
Monkes
make
much
adoe
,
and
such
a
difference
in
the
sight
of
men
and
God
too
,
as
doth
no
lesse
argue
than
of
foule
impietie
,
then
of
iust
hypocrisie
,
preferring
virginity
and
widdowhoode
much
before
marriage
,
euen
in
the
sight
of
God
:
for
they
attribute
vnto
virginity
the
fruite
and
merit
of
a
hundred
fold
,
vnto
widdowhoode
of
sixtie
fold
,
but
vnto
Matrimonie
,
as
a
state
more
vile
and
beggerly
,
only
thirty
fold
.
Yea
and
yet
some
more
superstitious
than
these
,
who
left
vnto
mariage
no
place
of
fruit
or
blessing
;
but
that
of
an
hundred
fold
they
gaue
vnto
martyrdome
,
that
of
sixtie
fold
to
virginity
,
and
that
of
thirtie
fold
to
widdowhoode
;
reckoning
mariage
among
those
kindes
of
life
,
which
are
nothing
pleasing
vnto
God
,
but
onely
of
mercy
suffred
to
bee
,
and
are
not
farre
from
fornication
,
Whereupon
this
speech
hath
fallen
from
their
filthy
mouthes
:
Nuptiae
teram
replent
,
virginitas
Caelum
,
The
married
replenish
the
earth
,
but
virgins
fill
heauen
;
as
and
if
lawfull
marriage
had
nought
to
doe
with
heauen
.
O
how
truly
are
the
foule
frogs
taxed
in
the
froth
of
their
fornication
,
sin
,
&
sodomie
,
by
Bale
in
his
Votaries
,
thus
?
They
frowne
at
marriage
,
who
laugh
at
letchery
.
But
leaue
wee
these
hypocrites
in
their
superstition
,
and
let
vs
see
what
the
Scripture
saith
of
these
three
states
of
life
.
1
First
,
the
scripture
saith
,
of
a
truth
,
I
perceiue
that
God
is
no
respecter
of
persons
,
but
in
euery
nation
he
that
feareth
him
,
&
worketh
righteousnes
,
is
accepted
of
him
.
Acts.
10.34
.
2
And
Paule
saith
,
3
And
againe
,
Gal.
3.28
.
There
is
neither
Iewe
nor
Grecian
,
there
is
neither
bond
nor
free
,
there
is
neither
male
nor
female
:
for
ye
are
all
one
in
Christ
Iesus
:
And
if
ye
be
Christs
,
then
are
ye
Abrahams
seede
,
and
heires
by
promise
.
Out
of
all
which
I
gather
that
God
is
no
accepter
of
persons
,
nor
respecteth
any
man
,
place
,
state
or
condition
of
men
,
but
as
they
respect
him
in
true
piety
and
godlinesse
.
He
respecteth
no
person
,
place
or
state
of
life
,
but
in
the
cause
:
blessed
cause
,
blessed
person
,
whether
virgin
,
wife
or
widdowe
:
cursed
cause
,
cursed
person
,
whether
widdowe
,
wife
,
or
virgin
.
Giue
me
a
religious
virgin
,
and
I
will
prefer
her
before
an
irreligious
wife
or
widdowe
;
giue
me
a
religious
wife
or
widdowe
,
and
I
will
preferre
her
before
an
irreligious
virgin
.
For
if
God
respect
not
circumcision
which
was
his
owne
ordinance
,
and
vnder
the
lawe
,
nor
reiecteth
vncircumcision
,
which
was
abominable
by
the
Law
,
but
a
new
creature
;
will
he
(
trow
you
)
regard
virginity
,
which
was
neuer
enioyned
by
law
,
but
as
a
newe
creature
.
I
gather
againe
,
that
vpon
the
touch
of
Christ
,
Art
thou
called
beeing
a
seruant
?
care
not
for
it
.
Art
thou
bound
to
a
wife
?
seeke
not
to
bee
loosed
:
art
thou
loosed
from
a
wife
?
seeke
not
to
be
bound
But
if
thou
takest
a
wife
,
thou
sinnest
not
;
and
if
a
virgin
marry
,
she
sinneth
not
:
neuerthelesse
such
shall
haue
trouble
in
the
flesh
,
I
say
in
the
flesh
,
not
in
the
faith
:
for
it
is
no
touch
of
faith
for
virgens
ro
marrie
.
And
therfore
true
it
is
,
Molestiae
coniugij
,
sunt
paena
peccati
,
non
matrimonij
:
the
troubles
of
marriage
,
are
punishments
of
sin
,
not
of
matrimony
:
But
leaue
we
the
comparison
,
and
come
we
to
Anna
,
how
commendably
shee
passed
these
three
states
of
life
,
in
all
piety
and
godlinesse
:
for
it
is
euident
by
the
text
,
shee
was
a
chaste
virgine
,
a
chaste
wife
,
&
a
chaste
widdowe
.
A
rare
thing
in
these
vnchaste
daies
,
wherin
fewe
,
either
virgins
,
wiues
,
or
widdowes
go
vnspotted
:
she
liued
with
one
husband
seauen
yeares
from
her
virginity
Ergo
,
she
was
a
virgin
vnspotted
in
the
day
of
her
espousals
.
She
liued
seauen
yeares
with
an
husband
;
she
liued
with
him
,
shee
liued
not
from
him
;
she
liued
to
loue
him
,
she
liued
to
obey
him
,
him
and
no
other
:
for
that
had
bin
a
death
and
not
a
life
.
The
text
saith
well
,
shee
liued
with
him
,
which
argued
her
patience
as
well
as
her
chastity
:
for
if
she
had
not
beene
peaceable
▪
it
had
beene
no
life
but
a
death
they
led
,
according
to
that
of
Siracides
:
an
euill
wife
is
a
yoke
of
Oxen
that
draweth
diuerse
waies
,
hee
that
hath
her
is
as
though
he
held
a
Scorpion
.
Lastly
,
as
the
Lord
guided
her
in
her
virginity
,
honoured
her
in
marriage
,
so
hee
loued
and
protected
her
in
her
widdowhead
,
an
estate
of
life
much
respected
of
God
,
as
may
appeare
by
the
scriptures
.
Wherein
the
Lord
enioyneth
from
Horeb
,
(
to
which
imperiall
law
all
owe
homage
)
Ye
shall
not
trouble
any
widdowe
nor
fatherlesse
childe
;
And
it
was
a
sinne
,
with
a
vengeance
laid
vpon
the
rulers
of
Israel
,
that
they
iudged
not
the
fatherlesse
,
neither
did
the
widdows
cause
come
before
them
.
Whom
to
relieue
,
the
Apostle
maketh
a
part
of
pure
religion
,
&
vndefiled
before
God
.
But
Anna
her
widdowhead
was
pairlelesse
both
for
prouidence
&
pietie
:
she
saw
the
Lord
Iesus
presented
in
the
Temple
,
which
she
could
not
,
either
in
her
virginity
,
or
when
she
was
a
wife
;
to
tell
you
that
euen
therin
,
widdowhead
had
the
prerogatiue
aboue
virg●nity
,
by
the
Lords
prouidence
.
And
the
chastity
of
her
widdowhoode
appeared
in
this
,
that
she
so
continued
for
the
space
of
foure
score
and
foure
yeares
.
Chambering
and
wantonnesse
rotteth
the
bones
,
and
shorteneth
the
life
;
but
temperance
euen
in
that
,
giueth
length
of
daies
.
To
liue
fourescore
and
foure
yeares
was
much
,
and
so
long
to
liue
in
chaste
widdowhoode
was
more
:
but
all
that
time
to
serue
God
in
the
Temple
night
and
day
with
fasting
and
prayer
,
was
most
of
all
;
farre
from
the
practise
of
our
wanton
widdowes
,
who
ere
they
haue
well
finished
the
funerals
of
the
first
husband
,
are
ready
to
solēnize
the
Nuptials
of
a
second
.
Which
though
I
dare
not
say
,
it
is
vnlawfull
,
yet
may
I
say
,
it
is
not
seemely
,
and
charge
them
with
this
fault
,
that
they
haue
soone
forgotten
their
first
loue
.
It
was
demanded
of
Valeria
the
Romane
(
her
husband
being
dead
)
why
she
married
not
againe
:
she
answered
that
of
right
she
could
not
,
for
that
her
husband
yet
liued
,
though
not
in
her
house
,
yet
in
her
heart
;
and
till
he
were
there
dead
,
shee
doubted
shee
neither
ought
,
nor
could
marry
another
.
And
Marcia
wife
to
Cato
,
being
likewise
demanded
why
she
married
not
againe
,
answered
,
shee
could
yet
finde
none
that
would
marry
her
but
for
hers
.
But
Amira
her
answer
was
full
both
of
loue
and
wit
,
when
she
wonde
out
her selfe
from
second
marriage
,
with
this
resolution
.
If
I
should
marry
againe
(
saith
she
)
then
it
must
needes
fall
out
that
my
husband
should
proue
either
good
or
bad
:
if
good
,
then
should
I
euer
liue
in
feare
to
loose
him
;
if
bad
,
then
in
griefe
to
keepe
him
,
and
therefore
none
is
best
.
I
speak
this
to
correct
the
lightnesse
of
our
daies
,
wherein
both
Virgins
,
wiues
,
and
widdowes
are
too
wantonly
giuen
,
neither
regarding
the
vaile
of
their
virginity
,
the
honour
of
their
marriage
,
nor
the
holinesse
of
their
widdowhoode
with
gracious
Anna.
It
may
seeme
in
the
Apostles
time
,
that
widdowes
had
their
speciall
place
and
praise
in
the
church
,
as
you
may
reade

Nor
do
I
see
why
euen
yet
they
might
not
doe
vnto
God
the
like
good
and
acceptable
seruice
,
especially
those
of
elder
yeares
:
and
for
the
yonger
women
,
I
say
with
the
Apostle
,
I
will
that
the
yonger
women
marrie
,
and
beare
children

.
And
went
not
out
of
the
Temple
,
but
serued
God
with
fasting
&
prayers
night
and
day
.
From
the
description
of
Anna
her
person
,
a
mirrour
of
all
modesty
for
virgins
,
wiues
,
&
widdowes
to
behold
;
it
now
remaines
wee
come
to
the
practise
of
her
life
in
all
piety
,
and
publishing
of
her
Christ
in
all
true
faith
and
verity
:
her
godly
life
appeared
in
this
,
that
shee
did
altogether
deuote
her selfe
to
the
seruice
of
her
God
,
first
amplified
by
circumstance
of
the
place
where
,
In
the
Temple
;
secondly
the
manner
how
,
with
fasting
and
prayers
:
thirdly
the
time
when
,
night
and
day
.
In
that
she
went
not
out
of
the
Temple
,
it
argued
that
she
was
no
gadder
abroad
,
but
liued
all
in
priuate
to
God
,
and
with
his
saincts
in
the
great
congregation
!
whither
she
went
no
doubt
,
as
the
blessed
virgine
did
to
her
cosin
Elizabeth

with

Non
gaudet
diu
videri
in
publico
,
she
had
no
ioy
to
bee
abroad
:
this
blessed
widdowe
followed
after
faith
,
and
not
fashions
.
She
had
no
solace
but
in
the
assembly
of
Saints
,
no
ioy
but
in
the
fruit
of
her
faith
,
no
pleasure
but
in
the
Temple
of
her
God
.
And
therefore
no
doubt
she
said
as
Dauid
did
,
blessed
are
they
that
dwell
in
thine
house
,
they
will
be
alway
praysing
thee
.
For
one
day
in
thy
court
is
better
then
a
thousand
elsewhere
:
I
had
rather
be
a
doorkeeper
in
the
house
of
my
God
,
These
dayes
are
Dinaes
dayes
;
for
many
of
our
virgins
,
wiues
,
and
widdowes
will
not
be
kept
within
our
dores
.
Yea
,
they
neuer
come
but
when
they
are
carried
,
in
the
day
of
their
birth
to
baptisme
,
and
in
the
day
of
their
death
to
buriall
.
Dina
went
out
of
her
fathers
doores
to
see
the
shewes
of
the
Shechemits
:
it
cost
bloud
,
and
it
lost
honesty

Bersheba
washed
her selfe
in

,
it
killed
her
husband
,
Had
Iephthe
his
daughter
kept
within

,
What
should
I
say
more
?
Esau
lost
the
blessing
with
being
abroad
,
and
Iacob
got
it
with
being
at
home

Dauid
in
one
of
his
Psalms
makes
a
good
wife
an
ornament
for
a
mans
house
,
and
here
I
may
make
a
widdow
an
ornament
for
the
Church
of
God
:
Not
then
an
ornament
for
the
Theater
,
playes
,
spectacles
,
fayres
,
markets
,
or
doue-ales
,
there
onely
to
see
and
to
be
seen
;
No
,
no
,
she
must
be
as
a
snayle
to
carry
her
house
vpon
her
backe
,
her
children
at
her
brests
,
her
handmaids
at
her
heels
,
with
care
in
her
heart
,
and
cost
in
her
hands
,
to
buy
balme
,
to
bury
Christ
in
her
dearest
thoughts
.
He
was
a
Pagan
that
sayde
of
Sempronia
,
that
she
could
saltare

canere
,
paulo
elegantius
quam
decuit

:
that
she
could
sing
and
dance
more
minion-like
then
became
a
modest
matrone
.
Shall
heathen
see
into
such
sinnes
,
and
shall
Christians
be
senselesse
?
Of

See
in
the
second
place
what
she
did
in
the
Temple
;
she
came
not
to
see
others
,
and
to
be
seene
her selfe
:
she
came
not
as
a
mony
changer
,
to
trade
in
the
Temple
,
or
to
haunt
the
seats
of
them
that
solde
doues
,
whipped
out
by
Christ
,
Math.
21.12
.
Nor
did
she
come
to
serue
the
time
,
as
those
who
now
and
then
drop
into
the
Church
for
feare
of
danger
,
&
when
that
is
past
,
they
are
gone
,
like
Seamewes
,
who
neuer
stir
but
in
a
storme
.
But
she
came
as
you
may
here
see
,
to
serue
God
with
fasting
and
praier
,
night
and
day
.
And
this
seruice
of
God
it
was
her
loue
,
it
wvs
her
life
,
she
loued
it
,
and
therefore
she
liued
in
it
.
And
sooner
might
ye
draw
the
Sunne
from
the
firmament
,
then
blessed
Anna
from
her
deuotions
.
Her
eare
hearkned
,
her
eies
watched
,
her
feet
were
shodde
to
the
seruice
of
her
God
〈◊〉
serue
him
was
the
crowne
〈…〉
head
,
&
diademe
of
her
prai●e
,
she
gloried
in
nothing
more
than
that
she
might
lick
vp
the
dust
of
the
sanctuary
.
Nor
did
this
seruice
flow
from
a
seruile
feare
,
but
from
a
filiall
loue
,
according
to
that
;
Ye
haue
not
receiued
the
spirit
of
bondage
to
feare
againe
,
but
ye
haue
receiued
the
spirit
of
adoption
,
She
serued
him
purely
and
nothing
with
him
,
shee
serued
him
onely
and
nothing
beside
him
,
she
serued
him
truely
,
and
nothing
for
him
;
but
woe
is
me
to
tell
:
we
are
so
farre
from
seruing
him
,
that
we
make
our
God
to
serue
vs
euen
in
our
sinnes
,
according
to
that
of
Esay
:
Now
come
we
to
the
manner
,
how
she
serued
God
in
the
Temple
,
expressed
in
these
words
,
with
fasting
and
prayers
.
Not
that
she
put
any
merit
in
the
one
or
in
the
other
,
but
vsed
both
as
meanes
to
strengthen
her
faith
in
the
Messias
,
whom
after
she
did
confesse
and
professe
.
And
therefore
it
is
said
,
she
serued
God
with
them
,
and
not
merited
by
them
,
or
was
iustified
through
them
:
beeing
a
seruice
,
it
was
no
desert
but
a
duetie
;
wherein
when
shee
had
done
all
that
euer
shee
could
,
This
therefore
is
the
right
vse
of
our
prayer
and
fasting
,
to
bee
vnto
vs
as
it
were
bellowes
,
by
which
our
faith
in
Christ
is
refreshed
and
inflamed
.
And
it
is
specially
to
be
obserued
,
that
fasting
is
put
in
the
first
place
of
her
seruice
to
god
,
thereby
to
teach
vs
that
we
must
be
broken
by
abstinence
,
ere
we
can
be
well
prepared
to
any
good
deuotion
.
For
as
if
you
put
an
eg
or
chesnut
into
the
fire
,
&
break
it
not
,
the
heat
no
sooner
commeth
vnto
it
,
but
it
bursteth
&
leapeth
out
:
yet
not
so
,
if
before
you
put
it
in
,
you
break
it
neuer
so
little
in
the
head
.
So
may
we
say
of
men
,
presuming
to
come
before
the
maiesty
of
their
God
,
who
is
a
consuming
fire
;
if
they
come
vnbroken
,
fat
,
&
full
,
and
not
humbled
with
fasting
,
prayer
&
watching
,
they
easily
leap
out
of
the
fire
of
their
deuotions
,
&
fall
away
from
heauenly
contemplation
.
Not
so
Pueri
illi
Babylonici
,
mentioned
in
Daniel
,
who
refused
the
portion
of
the
Kings
meat
,
&
choose
rather
to
feed
vpon
pulse
.
They
would
bee
broken
with
prayer
,
abstinence
,
&
fasting
,
the
rather
to
abide
the
fiery
furnace
,
out
of
which
they
were
deliuered
.
So
Moses
was
with
God
vpon
the
holy
mount
,
So
this
holy
Anna
would
bee
broken
like
a
chesnut
with
prayer
,
fasting
,
&
watching
in
the
temple
night
and
day
,
to
mortify
the
flesh
,
that
it
might
not
abate
the
vigor
of
the
spirit
in
the
heat
of
her
deuotions
.
It
is
therefore
expedient
(
my
deare
brethren
)
that
by
your
abstinence
ye
keepe
vnder
the
flesh
,
especially
in
your
deuotions
and
seruice
of
God
,
The
flesh
is
that
dancing
minion
,
Iohn
Baptist
on
a
platter
.
Finally
,
the
flesh
is
that
dore-keeping
damosell
,
Ad
cuius
vocem
Christum
negamus
,
at
whose
voice
Peter
abiured
his
Christ
,
and
so
doe
we
.
In
regard
of
all
which
,
it
stands
vs
vpon
as
we
loue
the
saluation
of
our
soules
in
the
seruice
of
our
God
,
that
with
blessed
Anna
here
,
and
Paul
elswhere
,
we
beate
down
our
bodies
with
prayer
,
fasting
,
&
watching
,
to
bring
it
in
subiection
to
the
spirit
,
Night
and
day
.
Anna
her
deuotion
is
here
exemplified
by
circumstance
of
the
time
she
bestowed
in
the
seruice
of
God
,
which
was
both
night
and
day
,
as
it
is
in
the
text
,
spoken
by
way
of
trope
;
not
that
she
euer
dwelt
in
the
Temple
,
for
how
could
it
be
said
then
,
that
shee
came
at
the
same
instant
vppon
them
?
Or
that
her
fastings
were
such
,
or
prayers
so
many
,
as
she
had
no
leisure
either
to
eat
in
the
day
,
or
rest
in
the
night
:
for
how
could
she
euer
then
haue
come
to
such
maturity
,
and
length
of
dayes
?
But
the
speech
is
familiar
,
and
meaning
such
,
as
doth
imply
from
the
spirit
which
spake
it
,
that
she
was
frequent
in
her
deuotions
,
and
a
continual
Church
commer
.
As
we
say
of
him
who
is
a
painfull
student
,
that
he
is
neuer
from
his
booke
,
nor
from
the
presence
of
his
Master
:
or
of
him
,
So
may
it
be
said
of
Anna
the
Prophetesse
,
that
she
was
much
in
prayer
,
and
fasting
:
hoc
opus
,
hic
labor
,
hoc
artificium
,
hoc
exercitium
,
it
was
her
worke
,
it
was
he●
labor
,
it
was
her
art
,
it
was
her
exercise
.
When
euer
any
holy
thing
was
performed
in
the
Temple
,
were
it
in
the
morning
or
in
the
euening
,
Praesto
aderat
,
she
was
euen
at
hand
:
nor
did
shee
at
any
time
neglect
the
publick
seruice
,
but
was
still
present
.
Holines
(
saith
the
sweete
Singer
of
Israell
)
becommeth
thine
house
for
euer
:
Here
learne
then
by
Anna
her
due
deuotion
,
and
daily
practise
of
godlines
,
and
piety
,
how
to
frame
your selues
for
the
Church
&
holy
assembly
;
handle
not
the
holy
things
with
vnwashen
hands
,
but
rather
say
with
Dauid
,
I
will
wash
mine
hands
in
innocency
,
and
so
will
I
go
to
thine
altar
,
Psalme
.
26.6
.
Learne
with
Anna
to
loue
the
Church
:
where
a
mans
treasure
is
,
there
is
his
heart
.
One
thing
(
saith
the
Prophet
)
I
desired
of
the
Lord
,
that
I
will
require
,
euen
that
I
may
dwell
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
all
the
daies
of
my
life
,
to
behold
the
beautie
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
visit
his
temple
,
Psal.
27.
When
Dauid
desired
this
one
thing
,
it
may
seeme
he
excluded
all
other
things
;
and
when
he
desired
it
to
require
it
,
hee
made
full
account
to
obtaine
his
desire
.
When
hee
required
to
dwell
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
he
made
it
his
habitation
;
&
when
he
would
there
dwell
all
the
daies
of
his
life
,
he
made
it
no
tabernacle
for
a
time
,
but
an
abode
for
euer
.
Finally
to
sanctifie
all
with
a
sanctified
end
both
of
his
abode
,
and
biding
there
,
he
said
,
I
seeke
this
solace
in
his
sanctuary
onely
that
I
may
behold
the
beautie
of
the
Lord
,
and
visit
his
Temple
.
And
so
to
conclude
a
doctrine
from
Anna
her
practise
in
the
continuall
exercise
of
her
piety
in
the
Temple
,
as
also
from
Dauids
desire
to
rest
himselfe
with
the
sparrow
ouer
the
Altar
of
his
God
,
and
euer
to
dwell
in
the
habitation
of
his
holinesse
:
I
gather
,
that
it
is
beseeming
the
saints
of
God
,
vncessantly
to
pray
,
duely
to
fast
,
and
daily
perseuere
in
the
practise
of
all
pietie
and
godlinesse
.
For
he
that
perseuereth
to
the
end
shall
be
blessed
;
Frustra
nititur
,
qui
non
innititur
,
the
tree
that
is
often
planted
,
and
often
plucked
vp
,
it
neuer
prospereth
,
it
beareth
no
bowes
,
it
brings
no
fruit
.
So
is
the
planting
in
religion
,
vertue
,
and
piety
;
if
thou
leaue
thy
first
loue
,
&
be
remoued
from
the
first
ground
of
good
faith
&
obedience
,
thou
art
as
a
tree
twice
dead
,
Syracides
.

Homo

A
man
of
vnderstanding
is
steddy
as
the
sonne
,
but
a
foole
is
changeable
like
the
moone
.
Iust
and
holy
men
are
stable
like
Abraham
,
the
father
of
all
the
faithfull
,
who
,
as
the
foules
fell
vpon
the
carkase
of
the
sacrifice
,
still
droue
them
away
;
and
so
as
one
saith
:
Inceptum
quod
fecit
,
non
reliquit
infectum
,
what
hee
begun
he
neuer
left
vndone
;
like
vnto
that
of
Caesars
expedition
:
Nil
factum
credens
,
cum
quid
superesset
agendum
,
instat
atrox
,
who
neuer
thought
thing
well
done
,
when
any
thing
was
left
vndone
.
The
vse
is
good
,
and
Anna
was
happy
in
her
holy
haunt
:
for
that
she
brake
of
no
deuotion
,
her
loue
was
full
of
labour
;
in
prayer
often
,
in
fastings
often
,
in
watchings
often
,
night
and
day
shee
tooke
no
rest
,
but
in
the
sweet
repose
of
Israels
consolation
,
whom
she
sought
in
the
Temple
till
she
found
him
,
and
then
euer
treasured
vp
in
her
deerest
thoughts
.
Be
it
therefore
farre
from
vs
,
that
our
diuinity
should
bee
without
deuotion
,
our
profession
without
practise
,
our
zeale
without
such
sanctitie
.
May
we
sit
at
ease
in
Syon
,
and
haue
no
courage
for
the
truth
?
may
the
minister
or
the
magistrate
sleepe
?
may
the
people
shift
off
so
soueraigne
a
seruice
to
their
God
and
Christ
?
O
then
where
is
our
first
loue
?
where
is
truth
?
where
is
faith
?
where
is
religion
?
Wee
had
all
in
the
daies
of
our
tryall
,
when
the
fire
fined
it
,
the
crosse
grieued
it
,
&
our
martirs
sealed
it
with
their
dearest
bloud
:
then
was
the
word
of
God
precious
as
in
the
daies
of
Samuel
;
then
at
midnight
,
Paule
and
Silas
prayed
,
sung
psalmes
vnto
God
,
&
prisons
were
shaken
with
true
deuotion
.
And
haue
we
now
left
it
in
the
happy
daies
of
our
peace
,
&
vnder
the
gouernement
of
so
gracious
a
Soueraigne
?
shall
it
grow
vnder
the
crosse
,
&
shall
it
grieue
vnder
the
crowne
?
shall
it
prosper
in
the
daies
of
persecution
?
and
shall
it
wither
in
the
daies
of
peace
?
shall
the
Arke
of
God
passe
through
the
swellings
of
Iorden
,
and
shall
it
make
a
stop
in
the
sweete
running
waters
of
Shilo
?
shall
Moabs
rest
be
Moabs
ruine
?
then
woe
vnto
vs
that
euer
we
liued
,
to
enioy
so
great
blessednesse
,
with
so
little
holinesse
.
But
here
is
our
wofull
want
,
we
are
ignorant
of
our
God
,
and
wee
know
him
not
:
we
think
any
thing
will
please
him
,
any
religion
,
any
obedience
,
any
prayer
,
any
preaching
,
any
duety
,
any
deuotion
;
like
Themistius
the
Philosopher
,
that
would
perswade
Valens
the
Emperour
,
Deo
gratam
esse
sectarum
varietatem
,

That
God
was
well
pleased
with
varieties
of
sects
,
because
by
that
meanes
he
may
haue
more
sundry
and
diuerse
wayes
of
his
worship
and
seruice
.
Or
we
deale
with
our
great
God
of
heauen
,
full
of
Maiesty
,
full
of
might
,
full
of
feare
,
full
of
fire
,
as
it
is
recorded
the
Mexicans
did
with
Ferdinando
Cortasio
;
who
being
much
astonished
with
his
great
exployts
,
and
wondering
whether
he
were
a
God
or
no
,
sent
Ambassadors
vnto
him
with
these
gifts
and
instuctions
:

Why

O
Christian
,
the

.
You
Papists
deeme
cruelly
of
your
God
,
and
you
thinke
him
pleased
with
nothing
but
bloud
in
your
deuotions
;
you
haue
diapred
the
earth
with
the
bloud
of
his
saints
:
and
,
as
one
of
your
owne
Poets
saith
,
you
dayly
separate
the
soule
of
Christ
from
his
body
,
and
yet
drawe
incruently
Christs
bloud
out
of
his
veines
.
We
Protestants
deem
too
basely
of
our
God
,
and
we
thinke
him
pleased
with
any
thing
,
euen
flowers
and
fethers
wil
fit
our
deuotions
;
but
fy
vpon
such
fealty
.
You
Atheists
of
these
our
daies
who
dare
say
in
your
heartes
,
though
not
with
your
mout●
▪
There
is
no
God
:
you
thinke
of
him
but
as
a
mere
man
,
fowle
and
fruite
is
for
your
deuotion
:
whilst
you
make
your
belly
your
God
,
your
glory
your
shame
,
and
mind
nothing
but
these
earthlie
things
.
Well
,
Anna
her
deuotion
was
another
,
night
&
day
,
she
sought
,
she
sued
,
she
wrastled
and
praied
and
found
God
at
Bethell
:
And
for
vs
,
seeing
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
we
receiue
a
kingdom
which
can
not
be
shaken
,
She
then
comming
at
the
same
instant
vpon
them
,
confessed
likewise
the
Lord
,
and
spake
of
him
to
all
that
looked
for
redemption
in
Ierusa●●●
.
We
are
now
come
to
the
last
part
and
shutting
vp
of
all
,
which
is
Anna
her
profession
of
Christ
in
all
verity
;
without
which
,
what
formerly
hath
beene
said
,
is
nothing
either
to
Anna
her
praise
,
or
perfection
in
piety
.
For
what
is
her
gratious
name
?
what
s
her
godly
family
?
what
s
her
honorable
tribe
?
what
s
the
maturity
of
her
age
,
her
chaste
cariage
in
her
virginity
,
mariage
&
widowhood
?
what
s
the
resting
of
her selfe
in
the
temple
,
with
the
continuall
seruice
of
her
GOD
there
,
with
fasting
and
praiers
both
night
and
day
?
I
say
what
s
all
this
good
,
without
the
soueraigne
good
,
Quod

The

custome

the
lawe
,
then
came
Anna
not
by
chance
,
or
vpon
the
call
of
any
,
but
by
speciall
motion
of
the
holy
Ghost
(
no
doubt
)
and
instinct
of
the
Spirit
;
which
did
suggest
that
euen
now

was

,
Daniel
by
the
bankes
of
Hula
,
while
he
was
speaking
in

the

appeared

and
sawe

comming
.
While
the
Ma●i
followed

they
found
the
babe
.
And
while
Cleopas
and
the
other
talked
of
those
things
that
had
happened
at
Ierusalem
,
I
say
for
conclusion
,
watch
,
pray
,
and
practise
piety
,
long
and
looke
after
the
day
of
your
redemption
:
blessed
is
that
seruant
whom
his
master
when
he
commeth
shall
find
so
doing
.
Matth.

.
But
woe
,
woe
,
and
woe
againe
,
to
all
such
as
neither
watch
,
pray
,
long
,
See
againe
,
and
weigh
with
me
how
the
faithfull
,
good
,
and
godly
do
mutually
help
one
another
in
the
seruice
of
God

Simeon
was
praising
&
preaching
Christ
in
the
Temple
,
&
behold
Anna
was
ayding
with
all
diligence
to
further
that
blessed
worke
;
&
superuenit
,
as
it
is
in
one
translation
,
she
was
vpon
him
ere
he
was
aware
,
and
did
communicate
with
him
in
that
holy
seruice
.
So
was
Aaron
to
Moses
:
for
that
he
had
a
stammering
tongue
.
The
people
to
Dauid
when
they
said
,
Come
,
we
will
go
into
the
house
of
the
Lord
.
So
was
hee
who
said
well
,
We
together
are
Gods
labourers
,
ye
are
Gods
husbandry
,
and
Gods
building
.
1.
Cor.
3.9
.
And
so
(
for
the
vse
of
the
doctrine
)
are
all
ye
to
vs
,
when
you
helpe
vs
in
our
deuotions
,
ayding
vs
with
your
prayers
,
praises
,
and
presence
in
the
seruice
of
God
;
flocking
hither
like
doues
to
their
nests
,
and
comming
vpon
vs
at
vnwares
,
as
Anna
did
vpon
Simeon
when
he
had
the
babe
in
his
armes
,
Now
at
Anna
her
comming
in
,
she
shewed
her
religion
in
two
things
:
first
,
she
confessed
him
in
heart
,
and
secondly
,
published
him
to
others
,
when
she
spake
of
him
to
al
that
looked
for
redemption
in
Ierusalem
:
iustifying
that
of
the
Apostle
,
Rom.
10.9
.
If
thou
shalt
confesse
with
thy
mouth
the
Lord
Iesus
,
and
shalt
beleeue
in
thine
heart
that
God
raysed
him
vp
from
the
dead
,
thou
shalt
be
saued
.
Where
note
,
that
heart
and
tongue
are
tied
together
,
nor
can
any
man
say
he
is
religious
,
if
he
be
silent
;
thinke
he
neuer
so
well
,
if
he
doe
not
speake
,
hee
is
of
a
dumbe
and
dead
religion
;
For
euen
as
at
the
approach
&
presence
of
the
Son
,
vertue
flowing
from
it
,
trees
wax
greene
,
florish
,
and
yeelde
their
fruite
;
so
Christ
the
sonne
of
righteousnesse
shyning
vpon
his
saints
,
Againe
in
that
it
is
said
she
did
likewise
confesse
:
See
th●
consent
of
faith
and
doctrine
,
that
her
beliefe
and
speech
of
Christ
was
all
one
with
that
of
Symeon
;
to
wit
,
that
he
should
be
a
light
to
the
Gentiles
,
Learne
further
,
that
if
Christ
being
made
man
,
How
much
is
it
of
greater
wonder
,
that
now
neither
seene
nor
felt
,
yet
the
godly
should
relish
him
in
soules
,
and
found
out
his
praise
to
their
endlesse
saluation
.
O
that
we
did
know
our
own
blessednesse
in
the
certainty
of
our
knowledge
,
by
a
more
speciall
meane
and
manner
.
For
we
goe
not
by
sight
but
by
hearing
,
nor
do
we
admire
Christ
ex
his
quae
foris
apparent
,
for
that
which
we
see
in
him
,
but
for
that
which
we
haue
heard
of
him
:
for
it
is
not
only
,
Blessed
are
the
eyes
that
see
,
but
also
,
Blessed
are
the
eares
that
heare
the
things
that
you
heare
.
Nor
is
it
,
Blessed
are
the
pappes
that
gaue
thee
sucke
,
Ecclesiastes
saith
well
,
Take
heed
to
thy
foote
when
thou
entrest
into
the
house
of
GOD
,
and
be
more
nere
to
heare
then
to
giue
the
sacrifice
of
fooles
;
for
they
know
not
that
they
doe
euill
.
The
Maiesty
and
mercy
of
our
God
cannot
be
seene
with
mortall
eye
,
but
he
is
apprehended
by
faith
,
and
hearing
,
without
further
processe
,
search
,
or
scrutiny
.
Thomas
may
sound
into
his
wound
by
feeling
,
but
he
can
neuer
sound
his
will
but
by
hearing
.
For
euen
as
in
aged
Isaac
when
he
blessed
Iacob
,
all
his
senses
failed
him
but
hearing
,
and
onely
in
that
he
was
not
deceiued
:
So
in
the
knowledge
of
Christ
our
Sauiour
,
and
in
the
certaintie
of
his
trueth
,
all
our
senses
are
senselesse
,
but
that
of
hearing
:
the
voyce
is
Iacobs
voyce
,
but
the
hands
are
the
hands
of
Esau.
The
Paganes
papizing
,
and
our
Papists
paganizing
are
palpable
in
their
religion
,
pleasing
they
are
to
all
their
senses
,
in
all
their
deuotions
,
but
onely
to
that
of
hearing
,
and
that
also
if
it
be
fed
with
pipe
and
Organ
:
but
if
you
speake
of
preaching
,
and
would
fil
it
with
heauenly
harmony
,
they
shut
the
dores
,
they
stop
their
eares
,
and
they
will
not
heare
,
charme
you
neuer
so
wisely
.
Onely
in
this
,
Isaac
said
true
,
Iacobs
voice
will
not
deceiue
,
it
is
the
word
of
God
:
but
Esau
his
hands
will
still
deceiue
you
,
they
are
but
the
inuentions
of
men
,
and
beggerly
rudiments
of
this
world
:
as
,
Touch
not
,
tast
not
,
handle
not
,
And
spake
of
him
to
all
that
looked
for
redemption
in
Ierusalem
.
When
the
heart
is
full
,
the
mouth
will
vent
,
and
as
is
the
liquor
within
,
Anna
was
full
of
her
Christ
,
&
therefore
she
could
not
but
vent
him
;
she
had
treasured
him
vp
in
her
dearest
thoughts
,
and
for
that
she
could
not
but
lay
him
out
to
her
best
aduantage
.
O
wel
said
the
kingly
Prophet
Dauid
,
To
thanke
GOD
in
priuate
is
much
,
to
speak
of
him
among
the
people
is
more
;
but
among
the
nations
to
sing
his
praises
,
is
most
of
all
.
The
doctrine
is
good
,
and
this
it
is
:
the
godly
are
neuer
wanting
in
the
practise
of
this
piety
,
that
as
they
are
faithfull
and
true
to
God
in
beleeuing
,
so
are
they
charitable
towards
men
in
publishing
their
Christ
,
pregnant
they
are
,
and
they
cannot
but
bring
forth
.
Consider
what
she
speakes
of
,
she
reades
no
destinies
,
nor
tels
no
old
wiues
tales
,
she
reports
no
newes
like
the
Athenians
,
But
contrarily
,
vaine
,
idle
,
and
prophane
speeches
doe
quenche
the
fire
of
our
loue
towards
God
and
man
,
according
to
that
of
the
Apostle
:
It
is
here
further
to
be
obserued
that
this
blessed
Matron
spake
of
God
,
not
to
all
,
but
to
such
as
looked
for
redemption
in
Ierusalem
.
To
teach
vs
that
wee
must
not
cast
our
pearles
before
swine
,
Dauid
Secreta
domini
timentibus
eum
,
But
rather
our
words
will
cary
weight
,
pierce
,
and
wound
such
as
trauell
and
bee
heauy
laden
,
groane
vnder
the
burthen
of
their
sinnes
,
And
as
for
the
time
lost
,
who
doth
redeeme
it
,
though
the
daies
be
dangerous
?
And
so
I
conclude
from
all
I
haue
said
of
Anna
her
vnfolding
of
the
heauenly
misteries
to
such
as
looke
for
redemption
in
Ierusalem
:
The
misteries
of
God
are
treasures
hid
in
the
ground
of
our
hearts
,
wherein
the
Lord
would
bee
kept
,
as
in
a
field
of
blessing
:
which
if
thou
discouer
to
the
Babilonians
,
that
is
,
make
knowne
to
the
wicked
and
vnworthy
,
as
Hezechia
did
to
the
messengers
of
Meradock-Baladan
,
King
of
Babel
,
If
wee
preach
peace
,
and
they
will
not
receiue
peace
,
wee
may
shake
the
dust
of
that
place
from
our
feete
and
bee
gone
;
Secreta
domini
timentibus
eum
,
the
secret
of
the
Lord
is
reuealed
to
them
that
feare
him
,
If
any
shall
say
,
beeing
suncke
in
sinne
,
wee
are
no
worse
then
dogs
,
and
yet
dogs
may
eate
of
the
crums
that
fall
from
their
masters
table
:
And
when
they
had
performed
all
these
things
according
to
the
Law
of
the
Lord
,
they
returned
into
Galilie
to
their
owne
city
Nazareth
.
Although
this
scripture
say
nothing
of
Anna
whose
story
hitherto
we
haue
followed
,
for
the
better
manifesting
of
Christ
in
the
flesh
:
yet
it
is
necessary
to
be
annexed
further
,
to
make
plaine
the
history
of
Christ
his
incarnation
by
speciall
growth
in
body
,
and
strength
in
spirit
,
with
al
complements
of
wisedome
,
fauour
,
and
grace
both
with
God
and
man
.
Wherein
I
pray
,
you
would
obserue
three
things
:
all
clearing
the
truth
of
the
incarnation
,
and
prouing
our
Christ
to
be
perfect
man
against
Ebion
,
Carpocr●s
,
Cerinthus
,
and
such
like
;
who
dire
the
deity
in
denying
,
some
the
humanity
,
some
the
diuinity
▪
I
say
this
is
cleared
in
this
place
by
a
threefold
subiection
,
whereunto
the
Lord
would
yeeld
himselfe
as
the
Son
of
man
,
but
neuer
as
the
Son
of
God
.
The
first
is
his
subiection
to
the
Law
out
of
these
words
:
when
they
had
performed
all
things
according
to
the
Lawe
.
The
second
was
his
subiection
to
persecution
,
which
I
may
terme
a
iudgement
of
the
Lawe
in
these
words
:
they
returned
into
Galilie
to
their
owne
citty
Nazareth
.
The
third
and
last
is
his
subiection
to
increase
and
growth
in
body
,
and
strength
in
spirit
,
by
little
and
little
;
infallible
proofes
of
his
humanity
,
and
no
waye
applyant
to
the
diuinity
,
out
of
these
words
,
And
the
child
grew
and
waxed
strong
,
&c.
Christ
was
subiect
and
vnder
the
Lawe
:
-
1.
Morall
.
-
2.
Ceremoniall
.
-
3.
Iudiciall
.
According
to
that
,
When
the
fulnesse
of
time
was
come
,
God
sent
foorth
his
sonne
made
of
a
woman
,
and
vnder
the
Law
,
He
was
subiect
to
the
Lawe
Moral
,
when
he
said
,
Math.
5.17
.
Thinke
not
that
I
came
to
destroy
the
Lawe
,
or
the
Prophets
,
I
am
not
come
to
destroy
them
,
but
to
fulfill
them
.
He
was
subiect
to
the
Lawe
Ceremonial
,
when
he
was
circumcised
and
presented
in
the
Temple
,
Nepopulus
rediret
ad
Iudaismum
.
He
was
subiect
to
the
Lawe
Iudicial
,
when
he
endured
his
painfull
passion
,
and
vpon
the
Crosse
was
cursed
for
vs
all
;
according
to
that
Gal.
3.13
.
Christ
hath
redeemed
vs
from
the
curse
of
the
Lawe
,
when
he
was
accursed
for
vs
,
for
it
is
written
,
cursed
is
euery
one
that
hangeth
on
a
tree
.
He
performed
all
,
that
he
might
make
an
end
of
all
,
so
as
no
lawe
might
rise
vp
in
iudgement
against
vs
.
When
Christ
was
transfigured
vpon
the
holy
mount
,
it
is
sayde
that
Moses
and
Elias
talked
with
him
,
and
told
of
his
departure
which
he
should
suffer
at
Ierusalem
.
Luk.
9.30.31
.
To
teache
you
no
other
then
that
ye
are
here
taught
,
to
wit
,
that
Christ
is
the
end
and
accomplishment
both
of
the
Lawe
and
Prophets
,
whereof
Moses
and
Elias
are
chiefe
;
for
whereat
points
the
Law
,
but
at
a
bloudy
sacrifice
?
whereon
stand
the
Prophets
,
but
vpon
the
Messias
sent
and
slaine
?
and
what
is
their
communication
with
Christ
,
but
of
his
departure
which
he
should
accomplish
at
Ierusalem
?
So
then
the
Lawe
and
the
Prophets
do
accompany
Christ
,
and
Christ
in
person
doth
accomplish
them
:
Christ
,
not
Moses
,
not
Elias
,
nor
one
of
the
Prophets
;
and
yet
Christ
with
Moses
,
with
Elias
,
and
with
all
the
Prophets
;
they
to
find
out
his
lyne
,
he
to
finish
their
course
.
And
all
this
sprung
from
the
endlesse
fountaine
of
his
loue
which
loue
(
I
may
say
with
the
blessed
Apostle
)
is
the
fulfilling
of
the
Law
,
Rom.
13.10
.
or
end
,
if
ye
wil
,
for
so
saith
the
same
Apostle
:
The
end
of
the
commandement
is
loue
out
of
a
pure
heart
,
First
,
as
the
sonne
of
God
,
&
Lord
of
the
law
.
Secondly
,
as
the
sonne
of
man
in
our
person
:
which
is
as
much
as
if
wee
had
ouercome
the
lawe
our selues
:
for
his
victory
is
ours
.
All
the
iurisdiction
of
the
lawe
was
executed
vpon
Christ
.
First
,
it
accused
him
as
a
blasphemer
,
Secondly
,
Thirdly
,
it
so
terrified
and
oppressed
him
with
heauinesse
and
anguish
of
spirit
,
that
his
sweate
was
like
drops
of
bloud
,
trickling
downe
to
the
ground
.
Luke
2●
.
44
.
And
lastly
,
it
condemned
him
to
death
,
euen
to
the
death
of
the
crosse
:
a
maruellous
combate
,
where
the
law
a
creature
giueth
such
an
assault
to
his
creator
,
and
against
all
right
practiseth
his
whole
tyranny
vpon
the
sonne
of
God
,
and
he
most
innocent
.
But
to
proceed
,
it
may
seeme
by
the
text
,
that
the
Euangelist
doth
more
specially
ayme
at
some
performance
of
the
law
,
done
by
Ioseph
and
Mary
,
in
that
it
is
sayd
:
When
they
had
performed
all
those
things
.
&c.
True
it
is
,
&
this
their
performance
may
be
a
president
to
vs
,
whereon
to
looke
in
all
our
deuotions
.
First
,
that
we
leaue
nothing
vndone
,
which
the
Lord
hath
commanded
by
his
law
.
Secondly
,
that
wee
performe
nothing
of
our
owne
deuising
;
but
as
it
is
enioyned
vs
by
the
eternall
law
of
the
eternall
God
.
The
Babe
was
crucified
,
Mary
was
purified
,
and
the
childe
presented
according
to
the
law
;
they
performed
al
,
&
left
out
nothing
:
&
they
did
it
according
to
no
deuice
of
their
owne
:
but
as
the
line
and
leuell
of
the
same
lawe
ledde
them
.
And
here
two
sorts
of
people
are
sweetly
taught
,
if
not
iustly
taxed
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
of
intollerable
impiety
.
First
,
such
as
thinke
they
please
God
if
they
serue
him
by
halfes
,
performe
some
things
,
but
not
all
according
to
the
lawe
of
the
Lord
:
Halfe
prayer
,
halfe
preaching
,
halfe
Sacrament
,
halfe
Saboath
,
will
serue
their
turne
in
their
demi-deuotion
;
but
Ioseph
and
Mary
performed
all
.
Secondly
,
such
as
do
performe
a
seruice
,
but
after
their
own
fashion
,
vsing
for
doctrines
of
the
Lord
,
mens
traditions
in
a
voluntary
religion
,
Who
required
these
things
at
your
hands
?
Moses
was
faithfull
from
the
gold
to
the
goats
haire
:
our
faithfulnesse
is
more
in
the
haire
then
in
the
gold
.
The
vse
of
al
is
this
,
by
the
example
of
Ioseph
and
Mary
,
to
ayme
at
perfection
in
all
our
actions
with
God
,
who
requireth
thee
to
bee
faithfull
,
and
neuer
to
breake
off
thy
course
,
till
thou
hast
finished
the
race
:
for
what
will
it
profite
thee
to
begin
at
the
Font
,
and
to
breake
off
ere
thou
come
to
the
Graue
?
to
begin
in
the
spirit
,
and
to
end
in
the
flesh
?
to
haue
ingresse
in
Christ
,
and
egresse
in
Anti-christ
?
Irridebunt
te
sane
Daemones
,
Diuels
will
deride
thee
(
as
one
saith
)
&
say
:
So
long
as
my
breath
is
in
mee
,
and
the
spirit
of
God
within
my
nostrels
,
my
lippes
surely
shall
speake
no
wickednesse
,
and
my
tongue
shall
vtter
no
deceipt
.
God
forbid
that
I
should
iustifie
you
;
vntill
I
dye
,
I
will
neuer
take
away
mine
innocency
from
my selfe
.
Paule
,
Paule
,
thy
contentions
were
many
for
the
truth
;
yet
was
thy
constancy
aboue
all
thy
contentions
,
when
thou
saydst
with
perfect
faith
and
feeling
,
2.
Tim.
4.7
.
I
haue
fought
a
good
fight
,
I
haue
finished
my
course
,
I
haue
kept
the
faith
.
The
second
thing
clearing
the
humanity
and
incarnation
of
Christ
,
is
his
persecution
in
this
,
that
they
Returned
into
Galily
,
to
their
owne
city
Nazareth
:
Implying
thereby
,
that
immediately
after
,
he
was
presented
in
the
Temple
,
and
his
mother
was
purified
,
according
to
the
law
:
and
hauing
now
recouered
the
strength
shee
had
lost
in
her
late
labor
,
wherby
she
became
more
able
to
vndergo
the
iourney
.
Now
must
they
to
Aegypt
,
ere
they
might
returne
into
Galily
,
to
their
owne
City
Nazareth
.
This
their
flight
foreseene
of
the
Lord
,
and
foretold
to
Ioseph
,
To
teach
vs
that
it
is
vsual
with
the
Euangelists
,
often
,
one
to
omit
that
which
another
hath
:
&
some
one
to
supply
that
which
is
wanting
in
the
rest
:
so
as
all
in
one
,
and
not
any
one
for
all
,
doe
make
perfect
the
circle
of
Christ
,
his
line
,
life
,
death
and
doctrine
.
So
is
the
body
of
all
the
Scriptures
soulelesse
and
imperfect
,
if
you
stand
vppon
any
one
booke
,
without
the
supply
of
all
;
but
liuely
,
absolute
,
and
perfect
in
their
ioynt
and
iust
proportion
,
like
the
vision
of
wings
,
wheeles
&
beasts
,
mentioned
in
Ezechiel
,
which
neuer
goe
but
as
they
are
chained
,
The
vse
then
is
this
:
that
if
you
wil
vnderstand
one
Scripture
,
you
must
examine
it
by
another
,
and
if
you
will
bee
ignorant
in
none
,
you
must
giue
your
diligence
to
the
reading
of
all
,
according
to
that
of
Christ
,
Search
the
scriptures
,
for
in
them
ye
thinke
to
haue
eternall
life
,
and
they
are
they
which
testifie
of
me
.
Not
Scripture
,
but
Scriptures
.
Some
are
of
opinion
,
to
whom
I
assent
not
,
that
Ioseph
and
Mary
,
after
they
had
performed
the
sacrifice
of
purgation
,
returned
to
Bethlem
,
that
they
might
dwell
there
;
but
it
was
not
to
be
imagined
that
Ioseph
had
a
dwelling
place
there
,
where
hee
was
so
vnknowne
,
that
he
could
not
finde
a
place
to
remain
in
as
a
guest
.
And
therefore
I
doe
easily
graunt
,
that
the
iourney
into
Egypt
was
between
these
,
that
is
,
after
the
purification
and
presentation
,
and
before
their
returne
backe
to
Nazareth
.
So
as
that
which
Luke
sayth
,
of
their
dwelling
again
in
their
own
City
Nazareth
,
was
in
order
of
time
after
their
flight
into
Egypt
:
which
Matthew
reporteth
.
Chap.
2.19
.
&c.
Where
if
the
story
report
aright
,
Christ
with
his
parents
remained
in
exile
full
seuen
yeares
:
for
so
they
calculate
the
time
from
Herode
his
slaughter
of
Innocents
,
to
the
daies
of
Archelaus
his
sonne
,
at
what
time
Ioseph
againe
heard
from
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
,
Arise
and
take
the
Babe
and
his
mother
,
and
goe
into
the
land
of
Israel
:
for
they
are
dead
which
sought
the
Babes
life
.
All
to
testifie
that
which
was
spoken
of
the
Lord
by
the
Prophet
:
Out
of
Egypt
haue
I
called
my
sonne
.
A
wonderful
worke
and
prouidence
of
God
,
that
the
Sauiour
of
Iudah
should
be
cast
out
of
Iuda
,
and
Egypt
should
nourish
him
:
Egypt
,
I
say
,
euen
Egypt
,
from
whence
neuer
any
thing
came
before
,
but
euen
that
which
was
deadly
to
the
Church
of
God
.
If
the
Princes
of
Iuda
will
persecute
Ieremy
,
and
cast
him
into
the
dungeon
,
the
Lord
wil
raise
vp
Ebedmeleck
the
Nigro
,
to
deliuer
him
out
of
that
danger
.
The
Wolfe
shall
dwell
with
the
Lambe
,
and
the
Leopard
shall
lye
with
the
Kid
,
and
the
Calfe
and
the
Lyon
,
and
the
fat
beasts
together
,
and
a
little
child
shall
leade
them
,
and
the
sucking
child
shall
play
vpon
the
hole
of
the
Aspe
,
and
the
weaned
child
shal
put
his
hand
vppon
the
Cockat●ice
hole
.
The
Lord
can
play
with
poyson
,
and
tame
the
cruellest
in
his
prouidence
,
when
he
pleaseth
to
preserue
either
Saint
or
Sauiour
.
If
his
prouidence
be
vpon
the
fire
,
But
the
vse
is
this
,
though
Egypt
did
preserue
him
,
yet
Iudah
did
persecute
him
,
and
soone
it
pricked
that
would
be
a
thorne
:
for
if
you
search
with
care
,
and
sound
with
iudgement
,
you
shall
finde
that
from
the
first
conception
of
Christ
in
the
wombe
,
to
the
yeelding
vp
of
his
Ghost
vppon
the
crosse
,
In
articulo
mortis
,
the
Crosse
was
euer
his
companion
,
&
his
life
none
other
then
a
painfull
passion
:
it
hath
beene
euer
in
the
practise
of
Sathan
to
maligne
the
truth
,
and
by
all
possible
and
potent
meanes
to
bury
the
Babe
in
his
birth
.
Gabriel
no
sooner
came
from
heauen
with
that
ioyfulll
message
,
but
straight
waies
hee
raised
a
doubt
in
the
heart
of
Mary
,
so
as
shee
demurred
vppon
the
point
,
And
the
child
grewe
and
waxed
strong
in
spirit
,
and
was
filled
with
wisedome
,
and
the
grace
of
God
was
with
him
.
Being
now
fallen
into
the
dangerous
daies
of
the
world
,
wherein
all
the
creatures
of
God
are
in
a
wofull
declination
,
and
there
is
nothing
more
geason
amongst
men
,
then
growth
in
godlinesse
:
I
am
bold
to
moue
your
patience
in
your
wonted
piety
,
yet
once
more
to
beare
with
mine
importunity
,
whilest
I
make
the
growth
of
Christ
a
president
for
your
practise
,
and
so
returne
againe
to
the
honor
of
his
Priesthood
;
in
whom
I
told
you
out
of
this
text
,
three
things
were
of
speciall
note
,
to
proue
him
perfect
man
,
incarnate
of
the
blessed
Virgin
Mary
.
First
,
his
subiection
to
the
law
.
Secondly
,
his
subiection
to
persecution
,
and
flight
into
Egypt
.
Thirdly
,
his
subiection
to
increase
,
in
that
he
grew
as
a
child
in
body
,
spirit
,
and
grace
,
both
with
God
and
man
.
Of
the
two
former
I
haue
already
spoken
,
now
of
the
last
,
if
God
wil
,
wherin
two
things
are
respectiuely
to
be
considered
out
of
my
text
.
That
as
the
child
grew
in
our
flesh
,
to
make
him
a
perfect
man
,
so
wee
must
growe
in
his
faith
,
This
child
is
the
boale
,
building
and
body
;
we
must
grow
vp
with
him
till
wee
come
to
bee
perfect
men
,
In
that
he
grew
,
it
proued
him
a
creature
of
God
by
generation
,
of
a
locall
being
,
subiect
to
alteration
,
like
vnto
vs
in
all
things
,
sin
only
excepted
.
In
that
he
grew
,
it
ouerthoweth
a
creation
of
Christ
,
which
some
vrge
without
generation
;
like
vnto
that
of
Adam
,
who
was
made
perfect
at
the
first
,
as
all
other
creatures
were
.
In
that
he
grew
in
body
,
and
waxed
strong
in
spirit
,
it
ouerthroweth
the
Papists
monster
of
transubstantiation
,
and
all
power
of
Priesthood
,
to
make
Christ
of
bread
,
or
of
any
other
matter
or
mettle
;
for
if
he
make
him
,
he
either
maketh
him
a
man
or
a
child
:
if
a
man
at
the
first
,
how
then
did
he
grow
from
a
child
?
if
a
child
at
the
first
,
how
then
did
he
grow
to
a
man
?
If
Christ
so
made
,
was
a
child
by
generation
,
then
the
priest
was
his
father
;
if
by
creation
,
then
the
priest
was
his
God
;
but
he
is
neither
of
both
,
but
their
breaden
Christ
by
vsurpation
,
sitting
in
the
holy
places
.
We
say
,
Christ
was
made
by
the
powerfull
working
of
the
holy
ghost
,
by
a
perfect
generation
.
They
say
,
they
make
him
by
words
of
consecration
without
any
generation
.
We
say
,
the
child
was
incarnate
of
the
virgin
,
and
so
grew
.
They
say
,
Christ
is
impanate
by
them
,
and
needeth
no
growth
.
We
say
,
body
,
bloud
,
and
bone
,
grewe
together
in
this
Child
.
They
tell
vs
nay
:
for
the
child
they
make
and
offer
vp
,
is
Incruentum
sacrificium
,
an
vnbloudy
sacrifice
.
What
should
I
say
more
?
the
child
we
preach
,
is
quadratus
homo
,
ful
of
fauour
,
and
fairer
then
the
sonnes
of
men
.
The
heauen
of
heauens
is
his
habitation
,
whom
we
preach
,
and
hee
sitteth
in
glory
,
at
the
right
hand
of
his
father
.
A
poore
box
must
couer
and
cary
your
Gods
,
crouding
one
another
till
they
moule
together
,
and
fall
to
rottennesse
.
But
good
Lord
how
long
?
how
long
shall
euil
men
thus
deceiue
▪
Lurida
terribiles
miscent
acconita
nouercae
?
How
long
shal
these
vnnaturall
mothers
make
all
Nations
drunke
with
the
poysoned
cup
of
their
popish
fornication
?
Ballance
the
iudgments
of
our
God
,
with
the
inundation
of
our
sins
,
and
whilest
we
see
a
growth
in
both
,
let
vs
grieue
vnder
the
burthen
;
that
sin
hath
increased
,
vertue
hath
decreased
in
vs
,
old
mercies
are
wearing
out
,
new
iudgements
are
comming
on
.
The
hand
of
God
goeth
forward
aboue
in
this
vnseasonable
weather
,
nor
is
it
much
weakened
in
his
stroke
of
plague
and
pestilence
,
God
grant
his
hand
may
likewise
go
forward
in
the
holy
worke
of
our
repentance
,
and
that
we
may
growe
with
the
child
Iesus
,
to
the
abating
of
these
iudgements
.
Spes
est
,
there
is
hope
,
for
that
the
Lord
vsually
commeth
to
help
,
when
our
cause
is
most
desperate
,
&
when
all
other
succours
faile
,
then
commeth
the
suckling
child
in
weaknesse
to
worke
our
wonders
:
according
to
that
of
Esay
,
8.4
:
Before
the
child
shall
haue
knowledge
to
cry
my
father
&
my
mother
,
he
shall
take
away
the
riches
of
Damascus
,
and
the
spoile
of
Samaria
.
We
haue
stood
much
vppon
our
owne
strength
,
power
,
and
puissance
,
and
what
is
that
,
but
as
Damascus
and
Samaria
?
All
our
good
must
bee
wrought
by
the
weakest
meanes
,
and
in
the
growth
of
a
child
,
will
be
all
our
gaine
.
Lastly
,
Christ
his
humanity
is
cleared
in
this
,
that
he
did
growe
in
strength
,
and
increased
in
wisedome
and
fauour
both
with
God
and
man
;
But
his
diuine
and
godly
nature
did
not
increase
or
waxed
in
this
world
,
but
filled
all
,
&
yet
was
fined
from
all
;
The
idle
Monks
,
from
their
dern
Cels
,
haue
much
busied
themselues
about
Christ
,
his
miracles
done
in
the
daies
of
his
infancy
,
when
he
was
a
Babe
and
a
child
.
They
haue
filled
the
world
with
many
a
fable
of
his
deedes
and
doings
in
Egypt
,
Bethlem
,
&
Nazareth
;
much
like
vnto
that
of
S.
Christopher
the
gyant
,
who
shrunk
vnder
the
burthen
of
this
Babe
(
as
they
say
)
when
he
bare
the
world
vpon
his
backe
,
like
an
Atlas
;
but
leaue
we
these
idle
drones
,
in
their
derne
diuinity
,
and
be
we
silent
of
that
whereof
the
Scripture
saith
nothing
but
that
of
his
persecution
into
Egypt
:
Of
his
growth
in
stature
,
with
much
increase
of
wisdome
,
grace
,
and
fauour
,
both
with
God
,
and
man
.
Moses
buriall
was
vnknowne
,
The
aduertisement
is
good
from
the
spirit
of
our
God
,
The
secret
things
belong
to
the
Lorde
our
God
,
but
the
thinges
reuealed
,
belong
vnto
vs
,
and
to
our
children
for
euer
,
that
we
may
do
all
the
workes
of
this
law
.
And
now
to
shut
vp
all
,
with
the
shower
of
his
mercy
:
Exinaniuit
se
,
He
bowed
the
heauens
,
&
took
our
flesh
with
our
infirmities
,
that
he
might
haue
experience
of
our
miseries
:
and
though
hee
were
a
sonne
,
yet
learned
hee
obedience
by
the
things
which
he
suffered
.
He
suffered
wearinesse
that
we
might
haue
rest
.
He
suffered
hunger
that
we
might
bee
filled
.
He
suffered
ignorance
,
that
wee
might
haue
knowledge
.
And
he
did
endure
a
crowne
of
thorne
,
that
we
might
be
honoured
with
a
Diademe
of
glory
:
his
strange
cryes
,
his
salt
teares
,
his
deepe
sighes
,
with
many
griefes
,
and
groanings
,
And
it
is
heere
foolishly
obiected
,
that
ignorance
and
these
infirmities
could
not
light
vppon
Christ
,
because
they
are
the
punishments
of
sin
:
the
same
may
be
sayd
also
of
death
.
But
rather
the
Scripture
affirmeth
,
that
he
fulfilled
the
office
of
a
mediator
,
because
what
punishment
soeuer
we
had
deserued
,
hee
tooke
from
vs
,
and
layde
vppon
himselfe
;
yea
euen
hell
it selfe
,
with
all
it
horrour
,
though
some
say
contrary
:
For
it
cannot
bee
thought
that
Adam
when
he
was
yet
perfect
,
knew
all
things
:
neither
doe
the
Angels
beare
the
punishment
of
sin
,
when
they
are
ignorant
of
anie
thing
.
They
know
much
,
but
not
all
:
for
then
were
they
as
God
;
they
are
ignorant
of
the
last
day
,
so
is
Christ
as
the
son
of
man
,
though
not
as
the
son
of
God
.
And
therefore
the
speech
of
our
Sauiour
is
indefinite
:
But
of
that
day
and
houre
knoweth
no
man
,
no
not
the
angels
which
are
in
heauen
,
neither
the
son
himselfe
,
saue
the
father
.
Where
,
as
Ciril
obserueth
in
his
9.
booke
of
Treasures
.
Chap.
4.
he
saith
,
not
,
the
holy
Ghost
is
ignorant
,
but
the
Angels
and
the
sonne
:
neither
doth
he
say
the
sonne
of
God
,
but
the
sonne
onely
;
that
it
might
not
be
grieuous
to
the
Angels
&
men
,
to
be
ignorant
of
the
last
day
:
therefore
he
saith
,
the
son
also
is
ignorant
:
and
this
is
no
derogation
to
his
God-head
,
as
he
was
God
,
he
knewe
it
well
;
but
as
hee
was
man
,
hee
was
ignorant
of
it
.
The
vse
is
good
,
that
if
Christ
was
not
ashamed
to
confesse
his
ignorance
as
hee
was
man
,
wee
should
neuer
so
stand
vpon
our
learning
and
skill
,
as
to
make
our selues
ignorant
of
nothing
;
for
to
be
ignorant
of
that
which
the
Lord
will
not
reueale
is
,
Docta
ignorantia
,
a
learned
and
a
deuoute
ignorance
.
Christ
grewe
,
we
may
not
wither
,
Christ
increased
,
wee
may
not
stand
at
a
stay
;
woe
is
me
to
tell
:
all
states
either
stand
at
a
stay
,
or
else
are
in
a
woefull
declination
▪
The
child
waxed
,
we
men
waine
,
body
&
spirit
did
grow
together
in
him
;
wee
pamper
the
flesh
,
we
pine
the
soule
,
&
we
are
of
no
growth
for
godlinesse
.
We
might
haue
been
,
ere
this
,
men
of
might
,
of
ready
resolution
and
of
ripe
iudgement
,
strong
as
Sampson
:
But
Dalila
hath
cut
our
haires
,
whereby
we
are
become
as
weake
as
water
,
and
the
Philistines
haue
put
out
our
eies
,
Popery
practiseth
much
,
and
hath
mightily
preuailed
to
make
at
,
if
not
to
put
●ut
the
eyes
of
piety
;
and
our
dalliance
with
the
pleasures
of
this
worlde
,
in
the
lap
of
her
delights
(
as
with
Dalila
)
hath
cut
off
our
strength
,
&
made
vs
carelesse
of
our
God
.
O
tell

Gath

&c.
Caleb
desired
of
Iosua
that
hee
might
possesse
Hebron
,
And
he
went
with
this
resolution
:
I
am
this
day
85.
yeares
old
,
&
yet
am
I
as
strong
as
I
was
when
Moses
sent
me
;
as
strong
as
I
was
then
,
so
strong
am
I
now
,
eyther
for
warre
or
for
gouernment
.
As
was
his
name
,
so
was
his
nature
,
Caleb
is
steele
,
he
grewe
in
strength
,
with
the
child
Iesus
:
the
number
of
his
yeares
abated
not
the
vigor
of
his
spirit
:
he
chose
Hebron
,
that
he
might
cut
off
Anakim
,
we
flee
Hebron
for
feare
of
Anakim
,
Answere
me
,
O
answere
me
,
thou
carelesse
Christian
,
why
art
thou
so
faithlesse
in
their
funerals
?
Quid
corpus
plangis
,
a
quo
recessit
anima
,
&
animam
non
plangis
,
a
qua
recessit
Deus
?
Why
doest
thou
weepe
ouer
the
body
,
whereout
the
soule
is
gone
,
and
mournest
not
ouer
the
soule
whereout
God
is
gone
?
Fruits
of
the
flesh
must
decrease
,

fruits
of
the

Agiselaus
in
his
common
wealth
,
tooke
an
account
or
reckoning
both
of
the
youth
and
aged
,
how
they
liued
,
and
how
they
profited
in
the
knowledge
and
practise
of
Philosophy
:
we
christians
are
carelesse
of
both
in
diuinity
.
And
Tully
told
his
sonne
Marke
,
that
now
hee
must
needes
abound
in
the
rules
and
precepts
of
Philosophy
,
for
that
he
had
heard
●ratippus
a
whole
yeare
,
and
that
in
Athens
.
Forty
nine
yeares
we
haue
heard
the
Lord
from
the
mountaine
of
his
holinesse
;
and
yet
I
feare
,
we
lesse
abound
in
knowledge
,
faith
,
and
feeling
of
true
godlines
,
then
we
did
at
the
first
.
The
Israelites
grew
vnder
the
burthens
of
the
Egyptians
,
like
palme
trees
when
they
are
pressed
:
our
God
hath
deliuered
vs
from
all
both
burthens
&
bondage
of
the
Egyptian
Pharaoh
,
&
yet
we
wither
.
The
grace
of
God
is
a
continual
current
,
as
Zachary
saith
,
euer
emptying
it selfe
from
pipe
to
pipe
,
til
it
come
to
the
poorest
of
his
people
:
Seeing
yee
know
these
things
before
,
beware
lest
yee
be
also
plucked
away
with
the
errour
of
the
wicked
,
&
fal
from
your
own
stedfastnes
;
but
grow
in
grace
,
and
in
the
knowledge
of
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
:
to
him
be
glory
both
now
and
euermore
.
Amen
Amen
