It
is
verily
beleeued

that
the
doctrinall

had
not

beene
sore-shaken
within

Realmes
(
as
they
are
to
the
hearts-griefe
of
many
thousands
among

but
also
a
most
wofull
and
lamentable
distraction
,
But
magnified

,
who
hath
remembred
vs

,
and
hath
directed
your
Maiesties
royall

,
not
onely
to
take

,
Quae

also
,
amidst

many

manifold
cares
of

,
longe

A
PREFACE
OF
Pacification
to
all
Christian
Tearmers
and
Trauellers
,
from
the
reuerend
Iudge
Itinerant
,
Iustice
of
Oier
,
and
Determiner
,
vnto
the
poorest
Clyent
that
iournyeth
within
the
foure
seas
of
Great
Britaine
,
Mercie
be
multiplied
in
Ch●ist
Iesus
:
BLessed
,
and
beloued
in
the
Lord
,
(
for
I
cannot
giue
you
a
more
honourable
title
if
I
should
studie
to
giue
you
ten
thousand
be
of
what
ranke
or
condition
your
will
.
)
Hearken
.
Vpon
the
Lords
day
,
beeing
the
third
day
after
our
Sauiours
sufferings
,
two
disciples
trauelling
from
Ierusalem
to
a
village
called
Emaus
as
they
walked
on
their
way
,
they
talked
of
Iesus
.
And
as
they
thus
communed
,
Iesus
himselfe
drew
neere
,
and
went
with
them
,
Es●e
Naturale
,
he
is
in
heauen
;
yet
secundum
esse
personale
he
is
euery
where
,
by
his
breath
and
fauour
in
his
chosen
.
Moreouer
,
hee
will
sit
with
you
vpon
the
throne
of
Iustice
,
to
direct
your
hearts
aright
,
you
shal
partake
of
his
blessings
with
healtb
and
saluation
:
hee
will
blesse
you
in
your
store
,
hee
will
enlighten
your
minds
,
encline
your
wils
rec●ify
your
desires
,
and
you
shall
know
him
whom
to
know
is
eternall
l●fe
.
For
this
cause
I
haue
often
bowed
the
knees
of
my
heart
vnto
the
God
of
heauen
for
you
all
,
and
haue
presumed
to
reduce
the
summe
of
all
into
this
little
Manuall
,
as
the
Protestants
portuize
to
carry
in
his
hand
,
in
his
bosome
,
and
to
accompany
him
in
your
trauels
,
as
Paul
had
his
parchments
with
him
,
which
casually
he
left
at
Troas
,
and
whereof
it
seemed
hee
had
an
especiall
care
.
Let
not
the
prudent
Iudge
disdaine
or
despise
that
I
become
his
remembrancer
,
for
the
time
is
come
that
wee
must
looke
to
our
Christian
principles
,
seeing
many
are
gone
so
farre
to
question
long
receiued
truthes
in
the
spirit
of
subtiltie
and
error
,
as
if
the
Metempsycosis
of
the
Pythagorists
were
reuiued
,
and
the
soule
of
Iohn
Duns
Scotus
were
entred
into
the
bodyes
of
suruiuing
schollers
,
to
trouble
the
world
with
nicities
,
and
to
lose
themselues
in
miserable
extrauagant
wandrings
.
It
was
a
good
rule
therefore
that
Irenaeus
gaue
,
That
we
should
diligently
heede
neuer
to
bee
transported
beyond
the
limits
of
Doctrinall
Principles
,
which
indeede
is
a
glosse
of
that
of
the
Apostle
,
Sapere
ad
sobrietatem
.
The
iolly
Counceller
that
learnedly
argues
titles
of
land
,
pleas
of
debt
,
dammages
of
clyent
,
&
cause
,
may
hereby
bee
counselled
to
call
to
minde
what
claime
,
or
challenge
he
hath
to
heauen
,
what
plea
hee
ought
to
make
for
his
owne
debt
,
which
hee
oweth
to
his
Creator
,
and
if
the
damnage
or
wrong
of
his
Clyent
were
his
owne
,
what
plea
,
what
care
,
what
diligence
would
●e
vse
to
redres
himselfe
.
The
disturbed
,
yea
oft
times
the
poore
miserable
distracted
Clyent
,
that
is
delayed
,
crossed
,
encumbred
,
snibbed
,
&
many
times
ouerborne
,
may
herewithall
endeuour
to
qualifiè
and
settle
his
wearyed
and
perplexed
heart
and
looke
vp
vnto
the
master
of
requests
in
heauen
,
and
to
referre
his
cause
vnto
the
Iudge
of
the
world
Christ
Iesus
who
iudgeth
righteously
.
And
if
his
cause
goe
well
with
him
,
yet
hereby
h●e
may
bee
caused
to
remember
in
what
passe
his
case
is
with
God
,
and
to
know
who
it
is
that
lets
a
man
see
his
desire
vpon
his
enemies
.
All
what
soeuer
they
be
,
if
they
will
be
pleased
to
be
aduised
,
may
herein
see
(
as
in
a
viewe
)
what
Creation
is
,
that
tendeth
to
saluation
.
And
so
to
abandon
from
their
holy
intentions
all
needelesse
controuersies
,
and
fruitlesse
contentions
,
according
to
the
reference
of
the
prefixed
context
.
For
the
lamentable
Controuersies
about
Religious
Godlinesse
,
Consume
with
the
spirit
of
his
mouth
all
the
gaynesayers
and
impostors
of
his
sacred
truth
,
and
abolish
with
brightnes
of
his
comming
all
the
mistie
fogges
of
misperswasion
and
mis-beleefe
.
Doubtlesse
therefore
in
the
meane
while
,
the
best
,
and
most
assured
way
for
vs
(
that
loue
,
and
looke
,
and
long
for
Christs
comming
)
to
finde
rest
to
our
distressed
soules
amidst
such
perplexed
distractions
and
laborinths
,
is
,
to
haue
recourse
to
the
pillar
and
foundation
of
all
Christian
faith
,
the
director
to
heauen
,
which
is
the
written
word
of
God
,
the
one
and
onely
way
to
the
word
begotten
,
wherein
,
many
places
wee
shall
finde
couched
in
in
few
words
the
summe
and
substance
of
all
our
hope
,
and
happinesse
in
Christ
,
both
in
nature
grace
,
and
glory
,
and
that
summe
of
Christianitie
in
so
compendious
an
abridgment
oft
times
reported
,
that
the
shortest
memorie
may
recount
it
,
and
so
playnely
set
downe
that
the
weakest
capacitie
may
conceiue
it
.
Such
is
this
Scripture
prefixed
,
in
which
as
in
a
running
stream
in
some
place
the
Elephant
may
swim
for
deepenes
,
and
in
other
the
Lambe
may
wade
for
shall
ownesse
.
Leauing
therfore
behind
vs
the
hellish
afronting
of
all
Godlinesse
to
the
damned
Athiest
,
that
sayth
in
his
hart
,
There
is
no
God
,
which
some
Achrists
of
Spaine
(
I
would
they
were
not
in
England
)
most
Lucian-like
,
and
Iulian-like
haue
tearmes
to
the
griefe
of
many
good
harts
their
Peccadillos
,
or
little
sinne
,
and
appropriating
the
circular
Diuinity
of
Temporizers-who
goe
in
a
Maze
to
painted
Hypocrites
,
Who
are
euer
learning
,
and
neuer
come
to
the
acknowledgement
of
the
Trueth
,
because
they
feele
not
the
power
thereof
,
nor
endeauour
to
practise
it
together
with
all
,
neutralizing
staggerers
,
and
Cassandrian
Courtiers
,
who
neyther
cleaue
to
God
,
nor
to
Baal
,
but
are
like
Ephraim
,
a
cake
on
the
harth
not
turned
,
which
needes
must
be
dough
on
the
one
side
,
and
burnt
on
the
other
,
hote
in
their
singed
zeale
,
and
lue
warm
in
their
fringed
hypocrisie
,
&
lastly
,
abandoning
from
vs
all
nouell
sectaries
,
who
eyther
with
the
●nostiques
and
Donatists
challenge
to
themselus
an
impropriation
of

bee

who
vndertake
to
haue
the
onely
direction
for

,
in
ordine
ad

,
or
with
the
Capucini
,
who
aspire

onely
mortification
(
forsooth
)
in
a
patched
Capouch
,
and
with
them
vtterly
forsaking
all
other
rabbles
,
and
swarmes
of
monasticall
,
and
secular
nominals
,
who
neglect
the
truth
,
and
the
light
thereof
,
Let
vs
flie
homeward
with
the
distressed
doue
into
the
Arke
,
which
is
the
holy
Scriptures
to
saue
our selues
from
the
general
deluge
and
cataclisme
of
ambiguities
,
questions
and
ouerflowings
of

which
assault

the

hide
from

the
brightnesse
of
Iesus
Christ
,
with
the
mists
of
impietie
,
and
fogs
of
vanity
.
And
let
vs
call
to
minde
that
all
vnderstanding
in
Godlinesse
is
eyther
Opnion
Faith
,
or
perfect
Knowledge
.
Opinion
beeing
like

neyther

Faith

certaine

not

Knowledge
as

Opinion
beeing
the
Conduite

of

,
the
mother
of

the

and
the

of

and

,
onely
proper
to
our
triumphant

glorious
estate
in
Heauen
:
wee
must
here
in
this
Life
walke
by
faith
.
This
faith
must
haue
a
foundation
to
build
vpon
,
What
s
that
?
must
it
bee
built
on
the
Church
?
that
s
to

:
so
the
Sarazens

rather
(

haue
their

Vppon

that

rusticall
,
so
the
Iewes
haue
their
Rabbins
.
Vpon
the
Pope
,
that
s
too
Phythagorical

so
the

reuelations
,
that

Vpon

then
?
Euangelical
Esay
the

,
That
our

must
bee
founded
vppon
Gods
Oracle
the
Scriptures
,
and
Christ
the
sonne
of
God
biddes
vs
Search
the
Scriptures
,
and
Saint
Peter
a
chiefe
pillar
of
the
Church
,
sayeth
,
Wee
shall
doe
well
to
heede
that
certaine
end
of
Prophesie

that
shineth
in

vntill

and
the
day
starre
arise
in
our

.
But
stay
,
who
then
shal
be
iudge
of
the
scripture
?
that
our
faith
may
bee
setled
with
iudgement
:
for
as
much
as
most
Heretikes
auouch
scripture
.
Shall
Christians
iudge
betweene
Christians
in
cases
of
controuersie
?
no
they
are
too
partiall
,
because
they
are
parties
.
Shal
Pagans
?
no
,
they
are
not
capable
of
holy
mysteries
,
shall
Iewes
?
no
they
are
enemies
of
Christ
.
What
then
?
Shall
wee
knocke
at
heauen
gates
,
that
Christ
Iesus
may
come
downe
and
decide
these
doubts
,
What
neede
that

Wee
haue

according

,
to
discern
the
current
from
the
counterfeite
,
and
in
a
word
as
Constantine
in
the
Nicene
counsell
,
sayde
of
all
sufficiencie
for
our
ful
satisfaction
,
and
the
onely
deuoyment
of
all
controuersies
for
our
resolution
wee
shall
doe
well
.
This
being
added
,
that
we
pray
earnestly
with
Dauid
,
That
God
would
open
our
eies
that
we
may
see
the
wonders
of
his
Law
,
Otherwise
,
they
that
are
conceyted
in
their
owne
singularity
,
and
priuat
spirite
,
either
for
doctrine
of
faith
,
or
direction
for
manners
.
Sathan
stands
at
their
right
hand
,
and
the
thinges
that
should
haue
beene
for
their
good
,
are
occasion
of
their
falling
.
These
thinges
beeing
so
,
what
meanes
the
cursed
malignants
of
our
Church
of
England
to
trouble
mens
mindes
with
niceties
,
the
breeders
of
controuersies
,
whence
many
monsters
of
opinion
,
and
thousand
of
fancies
doe
dayly
arise
,
which
entangle
the
simple
in
many
wofull
Laborinthes
,
as
to
demaund
of
vnsetled
soules
,
where
was
your
Church
hid
vntill
of
late
,
some
hundred
yeares
since
?
What
Emperor
raigned
when
it
came
forth
?
or
on
what
day
was
it
hatched
?
What
age
did
the
Religion
you
professe
,
arise
in
?
What
is
become
of
our
Forefathers
?
These
and
the
like
interrogatories
are
as
introductions
and
preambles
to
insnare
and
entangle
the
simple
with
needlesse
questions
,
and
quiddities
.
As
if
Petrus
Valdus
Lugdunensis
,
Iohn
Wicleefe
,
Husse
,
Luther
,
and
others
such
reformers
,
did
at
any
time
endeauour
to
beget
,
or
set
vppe
a
new
Church
,
whereas
the
truth
is
,
they
onely
diligently
labored
by
the
word
of
God
,
and
by
the
power
thereof
,
to
reforme
that
Church
,
which
by
mens
traditions
and
deuizes
,
was
most
miserably
deformed
and
defaced
,
and
to
reduce
it
to
its
former
splendor
,
and
integrity
.
Alwayes
saluting
that
church
,
though
much
deformed
by
the
louing
Sister
.
And
doubtlesse
wee
know
many
pious
and
chaste
Matrones
,
who
iustly
may
be
ashamed
of
their
owne
sisters
enormious
courses
,
and
exorbitant
conditions
.
Neyther
did
they
vse
any
other
means
in
seeking
reformation
,
but
by
yeelding
onely
,
and
lamenting
sayd
,
Oh
how
is
that
faithfull
City
become
an
harlot
?
It
was
full
of
iudgement
,
and
iustice
lodged
therein
,
but
now
they
are
murtherers
.
Thy
siluer
,
O
sister
,
is
become
drosse
,
thy
wine
is
mixed
with
water
:
For
these
and
the
like
important
considerations
of
the
great
defect
,
miserable
reuolt
,
and
dangerous
obliquities
of
those
times
they
had
learned
Apostolicall
counsel
,
To
haue
no
fellowship
with
such
doings
,
but
to
reproue
them
rather
.
Were
these
and
their
followers
then
to
bee
accounted
enemies
,
and
to
be
scornefully
branded
with
the
names
of
Waldenses
,
Wicklefiās
,
Hussites
,
Lutherans
,
and
other
the
like
disgracefull
tearmes
,
as
if
they
had
beene
Nouelists
,
because
they
tolde
the
truth
,
God
forbidde
?
George
Cassander
the
choyce
diuine
of
his
time
said
well
and
iuditiously
,
when
he
gaue
his
sentence
of
the
dissentions
of
the
Church
,
both
to
Ferdinand
and
Maximilian
the
Emperours
,
acknowledging
that
in
the
beginning
many
were
iustly
stirred
vp
by
a
godly
zeale
,
earnestly
to
reproue
,
and
reforme
some
apparant
abuses
in
the
church
,
and
that
the
principall
cause
of
the
Churches
calamity
,
and
distraction
,
was
not
to
bee
imputed
to
those
who
sought
reformation
,
but
rather
to
such
as
ruled
the
stern
,
who
beeing
puffed
vp
with
disdaine
,
and
scorned
to
be
rebuked
,
proudly
,
and
peremptorily
despised
,
and
disdayned
those
that
modestly
,
meekely
,
and
iustly
did
but
admonish
and
aduertise
them
.
And
hee
thought
that
there
could
bee
no
firme
,
nor
constant
concord
in
the
Church
,
vnlesse
they
beeganne
to
reforme
,
who
first
gaue
the
occasion
of
distraction
,
to
witte
,
that
those
of
the
Churches
Gouernement
must
abate
theyr
rough
rigor
and
sternnes
,
&
yeeld
somewhat
for
the
peace
of
the
church
,
and
by
listening
to
the
petitions
,
and
counsels
of
many
godly
and
well
disposed
men
,
should
reforme
the
apparent
errors
and
abuses
crept
into
the
church
,
and
conforme
them
according
to
the
rule
of
Gods
word
and
the
primitiue
integritie
from
which
they
were
in
many
things
declined
.
If
the
case
were
come
to
this
,
who
would
not
embrace
that
sacred
peace
of
the
church
wherewith
the
angells
of
heauen
congratulated
mankinde
in
the
incarnation
which
Christ
left
as
his
legacie
to
his
peculiar
people
when
hee
was
to
forsake
the
world
,
and
the
Apostles
as
their
principall
doctrine
enioyned
to
the
Christian
Church
.
Euery
one
(
you
say
)
is
ready
for
peace
,
but
what
if
we
cannot
haue
it
?
Then
must
we
make
peace
as
Saint
Iames
speaks
)
by
our
diligence
,
by
our
sufferance
.
What
if
wee
make
peace
once
,
and
it
depart
?
Then
must
wee
follow
peace
(
as
Paule
commands
.
)
What
if
it
abandon
vs
(
Peter
wisheth
vs
)
to
seeke
it
,
and
ensue
it
.
What
if
it
will
not
come
?
(
as
Abrahams
seruant
sayde
of
Rebecca
)
after
wee
haue
sought
it
and
ensued
it
?
Surely
then
must
wee
studie
to
bee
quiet
.
For
what
good
Christian
is
not
of
worthy
Constantines
minde
,
who
desired
of
God
to
passe
his
dayes
free
from
trouble
and
vexation
.
And
of
Iouians
who
sayd
this
by
chance
,
touching
a
queroulous
libel
of
the
Macedonians
,
I
hate
contentions
and
strife
,
and
those
that
are
giuen
to
peace
and
concord
,
I
deerely
loue
and
reuerence
.
Oh
what
hellish
furie
hath
enraged
the
malignant
Church
to
stirre
vp
strife
,
and
controuersie
against
vs
,
not
onely
all
the
day
long
,
but
euen
for
time
,
and
times
,
euen
many
ages
.
The
Arrians
and
Circumcellians
neuer
more
raged
against
the
Orthodoxe
,
then
Rome
hath
against
vs
.
For
beholde
and
see
,
if
there
were
any
damnable
heresie
of
olde
wherewith
they
haue
not
endeuoured
by
all
the
wit
and
strength
of
skill
they
could
to
brand
vs
withall
,
which
is
all
the
issue
(
for
ought
I
can
see
)
of
all
these
controuersies
.
They
tearming
vs
Simonians
,
for
once
mentioning
of
grace
,
and
saluation
,
Eunomians
,
and
Pepusians
,
for
attributing
(
as
they
say
)
too
much
vnto
faith
,
&
to
woman●for
that
a
woman
was
our
dread
Soueraigne
.
Originists
,
and
Proclians
for
teaching
that
the
Image
of
God
by
sin
is
extinctin
man
,
and
that
the
fume
of
concupiscence
is
not
vtterly
extinct
.
Sabellians
,
Eutichians
,
Swinkefeldians
,
yet
let
the
indifferent
reader
iudge
whether
wee
partake
in
one
iota
with
these
heretickes
?
They
terms
vs
Donatists
;
for
admitting
the
iust
onely
into
the
elect
Church
of
God
,
Mani●chees
,
for
abandoning
all
free
will
in
our selues
to
worke
well
of
our selues
.
Arrians
,
for
neglecting
humane
traditions
.
Nouatians
for
refusing
Popish
penance
.
Aetians
,
for
omitting
oblations
,
and
feasts
for
the
dead
.
Iouianists
,
for
casheering
a
slippery
and
perplexed
faith
.
Vigilantians
for
not
admitting
the
adoration
of
reliques
.
Nestorians
for
not
keeping
the
consecrated
hosts
.
Xenaits
,
for
abolishing
Images
.
Lampetians
for
putting
from
vs
the
bondage
of
vowes
and
indeede
what
not
?
to
to
make
vp
a
bead-rowle
of
rablement
against
.
vs
.
Thus
they
do
fat
&
please
themselues
with
these
,
and
the
like
as
persions
of
slander
,
and
reproch
,
as
if
they
had
vowed
neuer
to
sacrifice
vnto
their
Idoll
Iupiter
Latialis
,
Papa
Turcissimus
,
but
as
the
Lindians
did
to
Hercules
with
curfning
,
and
raylings
.
Thus
the
tongues
of
our
aduersaries
who
hate
peace
,
hath
bin
a
furnace
to
refine
vs
in
.
Besides
many
cart
loades
of
Pamphlets
frought
with
these
and
the
like
obliques
,
what
riuers
of
bloud
:
what
burnings
,
both
of
the
liuing
and
of
the
dead
,
hath
the
Christian
Catholicke
world
in
these
dissentions
of
that
bloudy
and
Antichristian
Synagogue
,
bot●
by
wofull
experience
knowne
,
and
by
barbarous
crueltie
endured
.
And
haue
they
(
thinke
you
)
who
haue
beene
neuteralizing
sequestrators
taking
part
on
no
side
,
but
standing
by
,
and
looking
on
,
endeuouring
onely
a
Cassandrian
pacification
,
haue
they
(
I
say
)
escaped
their
virulencie
?
Let
Cassander
himself
,
Fricius
,
the
Adiaphorists
,
Interimists
,
and
the
nameles
Apologists
of
France
,
who
haue
sought
peace
and
an
end
of
controuersies
,
tell
if
it
hath
not
happened
vnto
them
amidst
these
garboyls
,
as
it
did
vnto
the
foolish
shepheard
,
that
interposed
himselfe
betweene
two
rammes
furiously
raging
,
and
running
with
all
might
and
violence
the
one
at
the
other
.
Neither
suffiseth
it
to
compose
these
controuersies
that
wee
admit
as
absolute
Catholickes
,
the
whole
sacred
booke
of
God
,
the
three
Catholike
Symboles
or
Creedes
,
to
wit
,
that
of
the
Apostles
,
that
of
Athanasius
and
that
of
Nice
,
euen
in
the
very
leturgy
of
our
Church
together
with
all
the
holy
diuinity
comprized
in
the
fower
first
generall
cousels
,
vnlesse
wee
also
receiue
from
than
Transsubstantiation
,
Purgatorie
,
and
the
Popes
transcendent
supremacy
,
with
all
other
nouelties
hatched
from
the
Conuenticle
of
Trent
,
in
this
dotage
of
the
world
,
which
strange
proiects
were
then
deuised
,
that
the
holy
Fathers
of
Italie
might
no
way
bee
inferiour
to
the
Apostles
,
nor
the
Pope
of
Rome
,
to
Christ
Iesus
himselfe
.
The
fire
of
God
sayth
Basil
affoordeth
light
without
burning
,
but
hell
fire
burneth
without
light
.
Hell
fire
therefore
is
the
portion
for
those
that
despise
the
glorious
light
of
Gods
truth
,
and
desire
like
the
Salamander
to
noozell
themselues
in
the
flames
of
furious
contentions
,
and
continuall
contro●er●ies
.
But
without
controuersie
sayth
the
Context
,
Great
is
the
Mystery
of
Godlinesse
.
And
confest
it
is
on
al
hands
that
vnles
we
beleeue
the
Catholike
faith
we
cannot
be
saued
:
a
summe
whereof
is
this
modell
of
Scripture
prefixed
.
Let
vs
therfore
be
wise
now
at
the
last
to
lay
aside
all
distracting
controuersies
both
transmarine
and
domesticke
and
let
vs
studie
to
bee
quiet
,
For
wee
see
by
many
wofull
experiences
what
is
the
miserable
issue
of
calling
in
question
long
receiued
tr●thes
.
And
how
at
the
first
this
hellish
fire
of
Contention
may
be
more
easily
put
out
,
before
it
breake
foorth
into
such
scorching
flames
,
as
now
in
fest
the
Church
of
God
in
West
Frizeland
.
Oh
England
bee
thou
wise
by
the
lamentable
and
wofull
example
of
thy
b●rdering
neighbours
,
and
remember
that
God
commands
loue
&
peace
on
al
hands
in
Prince
,
Peers
,
Priests
and
people
.
It
is
the
new
and
eleuenth
commandement
giuen
from
mount
▪
Sion
as
a
supplement
to
the
tennefrom
mount
Sinai
:
Shall
not
wee
detest
that
which
hindereth
true
and
cleare
interpretation
of
the
Scriptures
,
that
rayseth
sects
,
that
giues
offence
to
weake
ones
,
and
doth
vtterly
dash
and
●uinate
all
church
pollicie
and
gouernment
?
Shall
not
wee
hate
that
which
impeacheth
and
hindereth
our
valour
that
we
fight
not
couragiously
the
Lords
battayle
against
Antichrist
?
Doth
not
the
Apostle
reade
us
a
lecture
in
our
own
bodyes
of
the
mē●bers
of
consent
.
Besides
the
wounding
of
our
owne
consciences
in
such
garboyles
by
hindering
of
Consider
therefore
Brethren
what
hath
beene
said
and
God
giue
vnto
vs
vnderstanding
in
all
things
that
concerne
our
saluation
,
and
Gods
peace
.
Comm●ne
with
your
owne
heart
,
whether
the
motiues
that
stirre
you
vp
to
contentions
and
strifes
,
waigh
more
then
these
directions
of
Gods
Spirit
.
But
looke
that
you
p●ize
them
by
the
measures
of
the
Sanctuarie
,
Light
of
God
,
Sight
of
Faith
,
Charitie
,
Construction
,
not
by
Faction
,
Singularity
,
Preiudice

for
doubtlesse
,
Thus
onely
seeking
hereby
to
procure
the
peace
of
mens
Consciences
,
that
they
may
with
cleare
sight
,
behold
this
mystery
of
Godlinesse
,
and
endeauouring
the
quiet
of
the
Church
,
that
euery
holy
one
may
possesse
his
soule
in
patience

I

that
the
peace

EXPLICATION
.
GReat
is
the
misery
of
mankind
,
Semblable
was
the
wofull
estate
of
Mankind
,
had
not
Iesus
Christ
the
eternall
Son
of
God
deliuered
vs
both
from
the
one
and
the
other
.
This
deliuerance
of
Mankind
,
from
out
this
wofull
and
lamentable
condition
,
whereunto
wee
were
plunged
in
the
loines
of
Adam
originally
,
and
by
our
owne
sinnes
actually
,
is
the
greatest
mysterie
that
euer
the
world
knew
,
and
is
therefore
called
the
Great
mysterie
of
Godlines
.
For
wee
beeing
now
deliuered
by
the
life
and
death
of
Christ
Iesus
,
from
this
originall
attainder
of
high
treason
,
and
by
holy
grace
purchased
by
the
power
of
his
Passion
,
Resurrection
,
and
ascension
,
beeing
restored
to
our
bloud
,
and
freed
from
the
rule
,
raigne
,
and
rage
of
sinne
,
this
great
misery
of
mankind
,
is
turned
into
a
great
mysterie
of
Godlines
;
and
wee
once
wretches
,
and
miserable
miscreants
,
are
now
become
good
,
godly
,
and
a
choice
company
of
holy
ones
.
This
mystery
the●efore
is
called
the
mysterie
of
Gods
will
;
for
it
is
Gods
will
wee
should
bee
good
.
This
is
the
will
of
God
,
Great
Mysterie
,
as
the
ende
of
our
godly
profession
,
which
is
the
greatest
blessing
that
euer
could
come
to
man
,
which
is
our
Vnion
with
God
in
Christ
,
and
thereby
life
euerl●sting
.
And
assuredly
,
this
Vnion
with
Christ
,
can
neuer
bee
obtained
but
by
godlines
,
without
the
which
,
no
man
shall
see
God
.
Great
then
is
this
mystery
,
It
sheweth
vnto
vs
the
mystery
of
the
great
Whore
Philip
Morney
stiles
it
)
which
misguideth
so
many
thousand
soules
,
and
plungeth
them
into
the
misery
of
error
and
vngodlinesse
,
euen
into
the
deepe
darkenesse
of
Sathan
,
Wee
shall
not
all
dye
,
but
wee
shall
bee
all
changed
,
and
that
in
a
moment
,
in
the
twinckling
of
an
eye
,
by
Gods
last
trumpet
.
Godlinesse
then
is
a
mysterie
?
yea
surely
,
for
it
is
an
hidden
and
vnknowne
secret
to
the
wise
and
prudent
,
that
is
,
to
those
that
thinke
themselues
wise
and
are
not
,
and
it
is
a
reuealed
&
known
mysterie
to
babes
,
and
sucklings
:
that
is
,
He
that
thinketh
himselfe
somewhat
,
when
he
is
nothing
,
he
deceiueth
himselfe
.
Godlinesse
is
a
mysterie
,
because
it
hath
beene
hid
with
God
from
the
worlds
foundation
,
who
they
are
that
in
time
should
be
godly
,
and
should
come
to
the
true
knowledge
of
this
mysterie
.
And
it
is
a
mysterie
,
because
it
was
not
made
knowne
to
some
ages
of
the
world
in
full
reuelation
,
but
was
reserued
for
the
glory
and
greatnesse
thereof
vnto
the
last
times
,
euen
vntill
the
reuelation
of
Iesus
,
that
the
Sonne
of
God
,
whose
pretious
bloudshedding
hath
made
so
many
holy
ones
,
to
them
that
are
lost
,
in
whom
the
god
of
this
world
hath
blinded
the
minds
of
them
that
beleeue
not
,
l●st
the
light
of
the
glorious
Gospell
of
Christ
,
who
is
the
image
of
God
,
should
shine
vnto
them
.
This
sacred
mysterie
is
also
called
Great
,
both
in
respect
of
the
matter
thereof
,
which
is
maruellous
,
and
in
respect
of
the
manner
which
is
miraculous
.
The
matter
maruellous
,
that
we
for
lorne
wretches
,
and
dust
creeping
wormes
,
blinded
in
our
own
vnderstandings
,
hardned
in
our
hearts
,
and
infected
in
our
affections
,
should
euer
become
coheires
with
Christ
the
Sonne
of
God
,
taken
out
as
a
remnant
from
among
all
other
creatures
;
which
God
seemed
to
passe
ouer
,
and
to
neglect
,
in
respect
of
vs
,
for
God
hath
not
communicated
this
mysterie
in
such
neernesse
,
no
not
to
the
blessed
Angels
:
for
,
To
which
of
the
Angels
sayde
God
at
any
time
,
Sit
on
my
right
hand
,
vntill
I
make
thine
enemies
●hy
footestoole
.
The
manner
miraculous
,
that
flesh●
and
bloud
should
become
such
holy
seruants
,
enlightned
in
their
vnderstandings
,
mollified
in
their
hearts
,
reformed
in
all
their
desires
,
yea
sanctified
throughout
,
both
in
spirit
,
&
soule
,
and
body
,
and
should
become
such
resolute
souldiers
in
Gods
battels
,
vpon
such
hard
tearmes
of
intertainement
as
were
proclaymed
by
Christ
to
his
followers
,
beeing
conditions
so
offensiue
,
and
contrariant
to
the
nice
nature
of
men
and
women
:
which
were
,
That
if
they
followed
Christ
,
and
would
liue
godly
in
this
present
world
,
they
should
suffer
persecution
:
they
should
be
hated
of
all
men
,
they
should
be
whipped
and
murthered
,
In
a
word
,
their
swords
of
Reuenge
,
must
be
euer
words
of
Grace
and
Edification
;
their
fightings
,
patience
;
their
wealth
,
ofttimes
greeuous
want
;
their
feasting
,
fasting
;
their
whole
life
very
miserable
in
respect
of
others
,
they
being
abridged
of
many
outward
things
,
and
their
ende
,
(
in
the
sight
of
men
)
oft-times
most
lamentable
.
Great
,
therefore
doubtlesse
is
this
mystery
of
godlinesse
,
which
(
for
all
these
hard
conditions
,
or
whatsoeuer
heresie
,
schisme
,
apostasie
,
the
world
,
the
flesh
,
or
the
diuell
,
could
doe
to
crosse
it
)
discerneth
truth
from
falsehood
by
Euangelicall
reuelation
,
the
effect
of
Preaching
,
and
by
doctrine
the
effect
of
knowledge
,
which
Saint
Angustine
calleth
Christian
Doctrine
,
&
by
the
patient
sufferings
of
Gods
Saints
in
the
bloudie
butcheries
and
persecution
of
the
Christian
Church
.
Great
is
the
mysterie
of
godlinesse
,
God
became
man
,
and
man
became
God
,
that
this
God-man
was
manifested
in
the
flesh
,
so
great
was
it
,
that
it
was
iustified
by
the
spirit
,
both
of
power
and
puritie
,
so
bright
that
the
Angels
desire
to
behold
it
,
so
great
that
the
Iles
a
farre
off
heare
it
preached
,
the
harts
of
men
are
subdued
,
there
with
to
beleeue
it
,
and
the
nature
of
man
in
the
person
of
the
Sonne
of
God
is
receiued
vp
in
glory
.
Great
is
this
holy
mysterie
that
m●n
therby
should
haue
a
new
birth
by
Regeneration
,
It
enlightneth
our
vnderstandings
with
the
sight
of
God
,
Rabinicall
Sanhe●drim
.
And
in
a
word
it
refuteth
all
Popish
innouations
and
misguiding
traditions
,
It
was
not
so
from
the
beginning
.
The
counsels
of
this
Godlinesse
are
Apostolicall
,
&
Orthadoxe
,
Heare

&
such

of

the

most
part
)
is

that
spend
their

in
such
triflings
,

of
this
happy

or
fal
away
from
God
in
Astrologicall
calculations
,
with
the
curious
,
Chaldeans
,
and
Egyptians
.
But
this
Godlinesse
is
the
Great
Riches
;
for
albeit
it
hath
nothing
of
the
World
;
It
is
the
salt
of
the
earth
seasoning
vs
,
and
all
the
acts
wee
doe
,
that
we
,
and
they
may
bee
rationall
sacrifices
,
acceptable
to
God
in
Christ
:
yea
,
and
it
is
the
fauour
of
Heauen
,
breathing
into
vs
the
breath
of
eternall
life
,
whereby
wee
are
made
partakers
of
the
Diuine
nature
,
This
Godlines
must
needs
be
great
,
when
the
great
God
by
his
holy
Spirit
is
the
worker
thereof
;
for
who
can
repaire
the
ruines
of
our
rotten
and
corrupt
nature
,
but
the
God
of
nature
?
Hee
it
is
who
onely
can
take
away
the
stony
heart
,
and
giue
vs
a
fleshie
,
plyable
,
and
penitent
heart
,
that
onelie
can
rid
vs
out
of
sathans
snares
&
Great
is
this
Godlinesse
,
seing
nothing
could
moue
God
to
doe
this
for
vs
,
but
his
owne
great
loue
to
mankind
,
Christ
Iesus
the
Sonne
of
God
.
Great
in
respect
of
the
means
,
So
wee
see
that
in
the
first
act
of
our
becomming
good
,
wee
are
meerely
passiue
;
for
what
can
a
dead
man
doe
to
quicken
himselfe
,
and
wee
were
all
dead
in
sinnes
,
and
trespasses
;
Great
Mysterie
of
Godlinesse
,
the
end
whereof
tendeth
to
the
glory
of
God
,
who
hereby
regenerateth
his
children
,
prescribeth
them
Lawes
,
they
obey
them
,
and
promiseth
them
Heauen
,
and
they
are
sure
of
it
.
Is
not
this
Mysterie
Grea●
,
and
excellent
that
assureth
them
that
know
it
,
that
they
are
elected
,
is
a
declaration
to
our selues
and
others
,
that
wee
doe
beleeue
,
and
is
a
performance
of
our
dutie
in
part
:
And
lastly
,
is
not
that
Great
,
the
end
wherof
tendeth
to
the
Conuersion
of
vnbeleeuers
,
Thrice
happy
are
they
therfore
,
Mysterie
of
Godlinesse
.
For
Without
controuersie
(
for
that
is
the
preamble
of
this
Scripture
)
Great
is
the
Mysterie
of
Godlinesse
,
and
such
as
are
of
the
generation
of
those
that
seeke
the
Lord
,
will
with
all
diligence
,
modesty
,
sobriety
,
meekenesse
and
peace
,
search
to
know
this
Mysterie
,
laying
aside
all
contentions
,
quarrels
,
strifes
,
and
enuyings
,
which
distract
,
and
disturbe
mens
hearts
,
and
hinder
men
from
beeing
good
.
Let
Godlines
be
our
Helena
,
and
the
truth
will
assuredly
appeare
vnto
vs
,
as
the
learned
Earle
of
Mirand
wrote
to
Hermolaus
Barbarus
in
this
case
.
For
it
seuereth
from
it
all
the
He●trogenean
,
and
mongrill
boastings
of
curious
speculations
,
the
specious
glitterings
of
mans
abstruse
wisedome
,
as
humane
traditions
,
fanatical
Enthusiasmes
,
and
grosse
commixtures
of
Moses
rites
with
Christianisme
.
And
they
that
know
this
Mysterie
of
Godlines
,
lay
aside
all
spleanie
Controuersies
,
&
seeke
onely
to
know
God
,
&
whom
he
hath
sent
,
Christ
Iesus
,
whereby
they
shall
find
themselues
by
the
power
thereof
changed
from
the
fashions
of
the
World
,
the
olde
man
,
the
first
Adam
,
They
shall
find
that
Godlinesse
is
the
richest
treasure
,
yea
to
bee
more
excellent
,
&
more
magnificent
then
all
Maiesty
enriching
them
with
those
blessings
,
that
many
Kings
and
Monarches
of
the
earth
could
neuer
attaine
vnto
.
Because
Godlinesse
shall
secure
them
f●om
all
vexations
and
incursions
of
the
Diuell
whatsoeuer
:
for
God
will
tender
them
,
As
the
apple
of
his
owne
eye
,
and
commaund
his
Angels
to
pitch
their
tents
round
about
them
.
There
is
the
safety
of
this
Godlinesse
,
euen
a
wall
of
fire
to
keepe
out
their
enemies
.
Godlinesse
shal
beautifie
them
,
for
they
shall
be
decked
with
Grace
,
whereby
God
shall
accept
them
.
For
his
people
,
his
sonnes
,
and
daughters
for
his
Spouse
,
and
fer
his
exceeding
great
delight
:
Sat●an
,
and
all
the
powers
of
darkenesse
shall
bee
subiect
vnto
them
that
are
godly
,
their
memorials
shall
bee
written
in
Gods
Register
?
And
all
things
shall
worke
together
for
their
good
;
Mirrour
of
the
purified
s●ule
:
And
Dauid
testifieth
,
That
God
is
his
light
,
There
is
the
light
of
this
Godlinesse
in
Gods
light
,
euen
a
verie
view
of
Heauen
.
If
we
be
ignorant
,
Wee
shall
all
bee
taught
of
God
,
Mysterie
shall
surpasse
,
our
Tearchers
shall
surpasse
,
our
Ancients
.
There
is
the
true
wisedome
of
this
Godlinesse
.
Godlinesse
,
O
how
great
is
the
goodnes
he
hath
layde
vp
for
the
that
trust
in
him
euen
before
the
sons
of
men
.
There
is
the
fauour
of
this
Godlinesse
.
The
voyce
of
ioy
and
gladnes
is
in
the
dwellings
of
the
righteous
.
No
maruell
then
if
Peter
sayd
,
It
is
good
being
here
maister
.
Indeede
there
is
no
good
being
any
where
else
.
For
holinesse
becommeth
his
house
for
euer
.
For
what
euill
can
come
vnto
vs
,
Gods
left
hand
is
vnder
our
head
,
and
his
right
hand
doth
embrace
vs
.
There
is
the
protection
of
this
Godlinesse
.
This
Mysterie
of
godlinesse
quieteth
the
distresses
of
conscience
.
godly
man
is
as
confident
as
a
Lion
,
for
the
name
of
the
Lord
is
his
strong
tower
,
he
runneth
vnto
it
and
is
safe
.
There
is
the
securitie
of
this
godlinesse
.
Not
carnall
securitie
,
such
as
the
custome
of
the
world
,
and
the
vse
of
sinne
doth
oftimes
besot
,
and
infatuate
the
hearts
of
Worldlings
withall
.
For
vnlesse
I
were
Cleane
either
indeede
,
or
in
desire
or
indeuour
,
I
should
suspect
the
feare
of
God
had
neuer
once
come
into
my
heart
,
how
soeuer
the
subtiltie
of
Sathan
and
sinne
had
secured
me
,
the
feare
of
the
Lord
is
cleane
.
But
when
a
Christian
feeles
in
himselfe
first
Aversion
from
euil
,
whereby
he
hateth
sinne
,
and
of
that
hatred
a
double
sorrow
to
proceede
:
One
of
the
world
working
death
,
when
wee
are
plunged
in
deuouring
feares
and
sorrowes
,
And
hauing
thus
approued
our selues
,
that
we
are
turned
from
the
euill
in
a
true
detestation
thereof
,
wee
go
on
in
our
conuersion
to
the
good
which
is
the
other
part
of
our
Godlines
,
euen
the
quickning
of
our
spirits
by
Gods
grace
,
by
illumination
of
our
minds
in
the
sight
of
those
things
which
leade
vs
on
to
heauen
,
by
renouation
of
our
minds
,
in
the
obedience
of
our
once
sullen
and
froward
hearts
,
but
now
plyable
and
penitentiall
hearts
to
Gods
counsell
,
by
reformation
of
all
our
disordered
affections
,
in
setling
them
to
the
minde
,
and
thinke
of
nothing
but
whatsoeuer
things
are
True
,
honest
,
iust
,
pure
,
louely
,
of
good
report
,
of
vertue
,
or
of
praise
which
wee
haue
learned
,
receiued
,
and
seene
in
Gods
children
,
these
things
they
thinke
on
,
and
doe
,
that
are
the
Lords
.
Indeed
hypocrites
,
and
the
reprobate
are
sayde
in
Scripture
Yet
whiles
the
godliest
liue
in
this
world
they
cannot
attaine
to
a
full
expulsion
of
the
euill
,
and
introduction
of
the
good
▪
but
these
two
remaine
like
to
opposite
parties
in
a
pittched
field
combating
,
And
as
in
the
twilight
,
or
dawning
of
the
day
,
the
light
that
we
see
is
not
vtterly
voided
of
darknesse
neither
is
the
darkenesse
altogether
without
light
,
and
as
in
warm
water
the
heate
is
mixed
with
cold
;
so
the
reluctations
of
the
flesh
and
spirit
that
the
godly
haue
in
this
world
,
haue
no
fellowship
the
one
with
the
other
,
no
more
then
those
different
qualities
,
yet
they
may
remaine
in
one
subiect
,
either
acting
his
owne
part
,
not
seuerally
,
albeit
distinctlie
.
Sarah
the
wife
of
Abraham
is
a
president
in
this
kinde
,
who
beleeued
the
promise
of
God
made
vnto
her
concerning
her
issue
,
being
moued
thereunto
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
yet
being
impatient
of
delay
,
enforced
thereunto
by
the
flesh
,
shee
giues
her
mayde
vnto
her
husband
,
so
that
one
and
the

worke
euen
in
the
deerest
of
Gods
children
,
may
in
respect
of
the
spirit
be
praise
worthy
,
&
in
respect
of
the
flesh
bee
blameable
.
Sanctification
in
it selfe
is
most
perfect
,
but
when
it
is
considered
in
the
man
that
is
sanctified
,
it
is
imperfect
,
and
varies
by
degrees
,
and
encreases
by
reason
of
the
dayly
slips
,
and
slidings
of
the
best
,
whereby
their
goodnesse
is
ofttimes
greatly
hindered
,
and
neuer
in
this
life
perfected
,
which
is
the
reason
that
the
Scripture
calleth
this
our
Godlinesse
,
sometimes
a
pledge
of
the
spirit
,
to
assure
vs
Gods
fauour
,
and
somtimes
an
earnest
,
which
is
to
be
made
vp
,
neuer
to
be
taken
away
.
So
that
wee
see
this
God●ines
in
Gods
children
,
albeit
it
bee
ofttimes
verie
weake
,
and
feeble
in
respect
of
their
many
infirmities
,
yet
it
is
rea●ll
,
because
it
is
rooted
in
the
inward
parts
,
and
God
requireth
trueth
from
thence
,
But
those
that
haue
this
name
of
Godlinesse
written
in
their
hearts
by
the
finger
of
God
,
are
iustified
by
their
faith
,
and
this
Godlinesse
is
a
fragrant
flower
,
and
holy
fruite
of
that
their
holy
faith
.
Thy
euer
looking
after
the
sequell
of
this
Holines
,
which
is
Happinesse
,
reserued
for
them
in
the
heauens
,
for
God
bringeth
his
children
by
this
way
of
Holinesse
to
the
life
of
Happinesse
,
there
being
great
difference
betwixt
the
Way
that
leadeth
vnto
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
and
the
cause
of
our
attaining
both
the
way
,
and
eternall
life
,
which
is
the
gift
of
God
through
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
.
What
now
can
disturbe
or
distract
the
peace
of
Gods
holy
ones
,
seeing
they
haue
such
pledges
,
assurances
,
and
earnests
of
Gods
fauour
;
that
they
shall
neuer
vtterly
faile
,
or
fall
away
from
God
.
Oh
this
blessed
securitie
,
and
happy
peace
of
conscience
Is
more
to
bee
desired
then
gold
,
yea
then
much
fine
gold
,
sweeter
also
then
the
honey
,
and
the
honey
Combe
,
called
of
the
most
wise
,
the
Continuall
Feast
.
There
is
their
absolute
contentment
of
this
Godlinesse
.
Thus
Godlinesse
benefiteth
vs
in
this
life
,
and
blesseth
also
in
our
death
,
yea
after
death
.
Pretious
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
is
the
death
of
his
Saints
.
They
are
carryed
of
Angels
into
the
euerlasting
habitations
.
Blessed
are
the
dead
which
dye
in
the
Lord
,
for
they
rest
from
their
labours
.
Most
blessed
therefore
are
the
people
that
are
in
such
a
case
,
from
the
royall
Priesthood
by
deuoute
inuo●ation
;
Purge
themselues
for
the
hope
of
heauen
by
Mortification
,
For
theyr
Conuersation
is
in
Heauen
:
Yet
for
all
this
,
wee
see
wise
men
seeke
Greatnesse
,
few
Godlinesse
:
For
,
if
wee
bestowed
but
halfe
the
diligence
to
bee
godly
,
as
wee
doe
to
be
great
;
wee
should
haue
more
pietie
,
and
lesse
wicked
policie
.
And
that
s
the
reason
why
Mammon
hath
so
many
Schollers
,
and
Christ
so
few
Followers
;
For
most
men
desire
to
know
the
mysterie
how
to
be
great
;
but
few
desire
to
know
how
to
bee
good
.
Machiauels
Prince
,
Lipsius
Politeques
,
Bodins
Commentaries
,
and
Bookes
of
such
subiects
,
are
matters
preciously
accounted
of
by
some
,
whereby
they
imagine
to
become
great
in
practizing
these
principles
,
whiles
the
booke
of
God
,
and
other
meanes
to
reduce
them
to
bee
good
,
are
neglected
.
Many
men
bind
themselues
for
terme
of
time
to
learne
a
mystery
how
to
thriue
,
and
rise
in
the
World
,
and
oft-times
with
much
hardnes
&
intollerable
bondage
endure
the
attainement
thereof
:
But
wee
see
how
few
t●ere
are
,
that
can
endure
,
(
I
will
not
say
,
seuen
years
Apprentiship
,
no
scarce
seuen
hou●es
seruice
to
vnderstand
and
know
this
Mysterie
of
Godlines
in
Christ
,
to
whose
seruice
all
Christian
men
are
bound
by
the
law
of
God
,
and
their
vow
of
Baptisme
to
bee
as
obliged
Votaries
all
their
life
long
.
A
thousand
woes
then
must
needes
attend
them
,
that
are
not
acquainted
with
this
Mysterie
of
Godlinesse
,
who
are
eyther
plunged
into
the
Deepe●esse
of
the
Diuell
,
Both
by
lying
,
wonders
,
and
wonderfull
lies
,
being
strong
delusions
to
beleeue
lyes
,
as
was
long
before
prophesied
,
or
else
are
besotted
with
the
vanity
of
the
world
,
Alt●g●ther
set
vpon
wickednesse
:
For
there
bee
many
Antichrists
in
the
World
,
and
in
a
Countrey
,
where
all
,
or
the
most
part
be
Negroes
,
It
is
no
blemish
there
to
be
blacke
.
And
that
s
the
cause
of
our
dulnesse
in
thi●
point
,
that
wee
liue
so
secure
and
wicked
without
any
desire
to
know
&
vnderstand
how
to
bee
godly
.
Such
are
they
that
haue
Iacobs
voice
in
prating
of
Godlinesse
,
but
Es●us
hands
in
practising
vnhappinesse
.
Such
are
they
that
professe
a
Linzie woolsey
Religion
,
beeing
hatefull
to
God
,
because
they
are
not
reall
,
hatefull
to
the
World
,
because
they
are
religious
,
albeit
they
be
but
in
shew
,
and
hurtfull
to
themselues
,
because
they
are
hypocrites
,
and
deceyue
themselues
with
seeming
Godlinesse
:
These
are
such
as
are
misled
with
the
mysterie
of
iniquity
;
such
a
one
was
Pope
Paul
the
third
,
who
at
his
end
,
sayde
.
Now
shall
I
know
three
things
,
whereof
I
doubted
all
my
life
;
to
witte
,
whether
there
bee
a
God
;
or
Hel
,
or
whether
the
soule
be
immortall
,
(
O
damned
Infidell
!
)
Such
another
was
Leo
the
te●th
,
who
accounted
the
Gospell
of
Christ
a
Fable
,
and
shewing
his
Fauouri●es
,
(
saide
)
See
what
heapes
of
treasure
I
haue
gathered
by
that
fable
of
Christ
(
O
wretched
misc●eant
.
)
The
doctrines
that
pleaseth
those
that
are
thus
misled
with
the
mystreie
of
iniquity
,
are
traditions
,
amphibolous
equiuocations
,
mentall
reseruations
,
and
the
like
deuises
.
Their
Religion
is
policy
,
their
faith
eyther
implicite
,
or
wauering
;
like
that
of
Lucius
consisting
of
words
or
wonders
,
with
Moses
Egyptius
,
as
Ruffinus
recordeth
,
would
not
admit
of
,
nor
endure
,
that
Lucius
should
lay
his
handes
vpon
him
,
but
tolde
him
,
that
hee
would
rather
beleeue
his
eyes
then
his
eares
;
that
is
,
he
would
rather
embrace
the
Religion
which
is
seene
,
then
that
which
is
only
heard
.
And
for
them
that
without
blushing
say
,
There
is
no
God
,
and
blot
out
all
Religion
with
one
dash
,
or
with
Zenaherib
,
Holofernes
,
and
Ph●raoh
,
scoffe
at
Godlinesse
,
or
with
Rufus
entertaine
the
Religion
of
the
place
where
they
liue
,
what
euer
it
be
,
or
turne
Religious
godlinesse
into
worldly
policie
,
by
practising
(
as
I
sayde
)
Machiauels
Prince
,
Bodins
Commentaries
,
Lipsius
Politiques
,
and
such
like
Discourses
:
That
of
Saint
Paul
is
verified
of
them
:
For
if
o●r
Gospell
be
hid
,
it
is
hid
to
them
that
are
lost
,
in
whom
the
God
of
this
world
hath
blinded
the
eyes
of
them
that
beleeue
not
,
lest
the
light
of
the
glorious
Gospell
of
Chrict
,
who
is
the
Image
of
God
should
shine
vnto
them
:
For
to
these
it
is
euen
yet
a
hidden
mysterie
;
And
in
such
fearefull
case
are
all
light
headed
Zebuls
,
scoffing
Iebusites
,
scorning
Cains
,
vile
Iulianists
,
impious
Lucianists
,
and
contemners
of
all
piety
,
religion
,
and
godlinesse
:
But
Beleeuers
consider
,
That
the
vngodly
shall
bee
turned
into
hell
,
and
all
the
Nations
that
know
not
god
,
Who
tread
vnder
foot
the
son
of
God
,
and
account
the
bloud
of
the
new
testament
as
an
vnholy
thing
,
whereby
they
are
sanctified
,
and
do
despite
the
spirit
of
grace
.
And
Beleeuers
see
euen
by
the
ve●y
glimpse
of
right
reason
,
that
nothing
but
man
maketh
account
of
greatnes
,
God
doth
not
,
for
with
him
is
no
respect
of
persons
;
Lastly
,
they
that
beleeue
,
know
that
godlinesse
hath
the
promise
of
this
Life
,
to
be
gracious
in
Christ
,
and
of
that
to
come
,
to
bee
glorious
in
Christ
,
and
therefore
it
is
the
onely
thing
they
desire
to
know
,
It
is
the
one
thing
necessa●ie
,
Doubtles
,
GOD
MANIFEsted
in
the
Flesh.
Explication
.
GOD
is
the
height
of
this
Mysterie
,
God
in
the
flesh
,
is
the
depth
of
this
Mysterie
,
God
manifested
in
the
flesh
,
is
the
length
and
breadth
of
this
Mysterie
.
Of
God
it
is
reuealed
that
hee
is
one
in
nature
,
and
three
in
persons
,
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
holy
Ghost
,
that
is
a
Trinitie
in
Vnitie
,
&
an
Vnitie
in
Trinitie
.
Euen
as
in
the
number
of
three
are
one
number
,
and
yet
three
vnities
,
in
a
triangle
are
three
angles
,
yet
one
figure
,
in
the
Sunne
are
body
,
brightnesse
,
and
heate
,
yet
one
Sunne
,
in
the
fire
,
light
,
flame
,
and
heate
,
yet
the
fire
cannot
bee
diuided
,
in
the
soule
our
memorie
,
vnderstanding
and
will
,
and
yet
one
soule
;
all
these
shewing
,
that
three
may
bee
one
,
and
one
three
.
So
likewise
in
God
,
are
three
persons
,
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
holy
Ghost
;
and
yet
one
God
,
who
is
blessed
for
euermore
:
For
vnlesse
I
vnderstand
(
when
I
heare
the
name
of
God
)
that
it
is
meant
of
the
holy
and
vndeuided
Trinity
,
wherby
I
am
sau●d
,
mine
vnderstanding
shall
content
me
nothing
.
The
supereminency
of
which
Mysticall
Beeing
of
God
passeth
mans
vtterance
,
For
God
is
ex●ellent
,
and
wee
know
him
not
,
(
sayeth
Elihu
in
Iob
)
Our
thoughts
comprehend
him
not
,
Ieremie
,
And
his
wayes
are
past
finding
out
(
saith
Saint
Paul
)
These
secrets
belong
vnto
the
Lord
our
God
,
and
the
reuealed
things
thereof
belong
vnto
vs
,
Let
vs
then
here
content
our selues
with
a
touch
rather
then
with
a
taste
of
this
secret
of
the
essence
and
will
of
God
:
For
God
the
Father
in
himselfe
is
the
Fountaine
of
the
Dei●ie
,
which
no
curiositie
can
finde
out
:
Perfection
of
himself
,
which
no
man
can
comprehend
:
God
of
himselfe
,
whom
all
adore
,
and
Life
of
himselfe
,
in
whom
we
all
liue
.
God
the
Sonne
in
himselfe
is
the
very
engrauen
forme
of
his
Father
,
in
whom
the
whole
Godhead
dwelleth
bodily
.
And
God
the
holy
Ghost
,
is
in
himselfe
the
fulnesse
of
them
both
by
procession
.
God
(
I
say
)
whose
power
is
all
puissance
,
whose
sense
is
all
knowledge
,
whose
essence
is
the
principal
good
;
whose
worke
is
euery
good
,
whose
scites
beneath
al
things
without
substraction
,
aboue
all
things
without
elation
,
within
all
things
yet
not
included
.
without
all
things
yet
not
excluded
:
aboue
al
things
as
president
,
beneath
all
thinges
as
sustinent
,
within
all
things
as
complement
,
without
all
things
as
comprehendent
.
The
first
mouer
yet
notmoued
in
local
scite
,
yet
not
circumscribed
,
ordering
al
times
,
yet
not
changed
,
in
Essence
infinite
,
incomprehensible
in
Maiestie
,
in
goodnes
soueraigne
,
in
wisedom
wonderfull
,
in
counsels
terrible
,
in
iudgment
righteous
in
cogitations
secret
,
in
works
holy
,
in
mercy
rich
,
in
promise
true
,
alwayes
the
same
,
eternal
,
immortal
,
vnchangeable
,
not
to
bee
expressed
by
speech
,
not
conceyued
by
thought
,
of
whom
al
the
Angels
of
Heauen
doe
stand
in
feare
,
whom
all
dominations
and
thrones
doe
adore
,
at
whose
presence
all
powers
do
shake
.
God
,
I
say
,
being
thus
of
himselfe
,
is
also
reuealed
towards
vs
to
bee
of
power
incomprehensible
,
creating
all
things
by
his
owne
power
,
ordering
all
things
by
his
owne
will
,
directing
all
things
to
his
owne
ends
of
his
owne
good
pleasure
:
of
wisedome
vnsearchable
,
by
which
hee
spreade
the
heauens
,
This
then
indeede
is
a
surpassing
incomprehensible
mistery
,
that
thus
God
should
bee
manifested
in
our
weake
flesh
,
that
God
and
Man
should
be
in
one
person
.
And
that
of
the
same
God
,
the
holy
Scripture
should
say
,
in
respect
of
this
his
manifestation
in
the
flesh
:
The
child
increased
in
wisedome
and
knowledge
,
and
in
fauour
with
God
and
man
:
And
Emanuel
,
God
with
vs
,
should
say
of
himself
,
The
Father
is
greater
then
I
:
And
of
the
same
God
in
respect
of
his
Dietie
,
was
borne
,
I
am
,
and
that
hee
was
the
first
begotten
of
euery
Creature
.
And
further
in
respect
of
the
vnion
of
both
natures
in
the
person
of
the
Sonne
of
God
(
the
sacred
word
sayth
)
That
God
redeemed
his
Church
with
his
bloud
,
and
that
he
gaue
his
life
for
vs
:
And
without
this
our
flesh
hee
could
not
suffer
,
for
the
manhood
is
the
proper
subiect
of
passion
,
compassion
and
feeling
pitty
,
which
causeth
the
regiment
of
Christes
Kingdome
to
bee
most
amiable
,
exercising
dominion
ouer
all
men
,
with
a
true
,
naturall
and
sensible
touch
of
mercy
▪
The
second
person
therefore
of
the
glorious
Trinitie
;
was
sent
to
performe
this
great
worke
:
not
the
Father
,
who
being
of
none
,
could
not
be
sent
:
Not
the
holy
Ghost
,
who
albeit
he
proceed
,
yet
he
is
not
the
first
that
proceedeth
:
And
forasmuch
as
a
double
Mission
was
requisite
,
the
first
person
that
proceedeth
,
was
fittest
for
the
first
Mission
,
and
the
second
for
the
second
,
who
also
more
fitte
,
to
make
vs
the
sonnes
of
God
by
grace
,
then
hee
that
was
the
sonne
of
God
by
nature
:
And
who
more
fit
to
repaire
the
images
decayed
in
vs
,
then
he
that
was
the
engrauen
form
of
his
Fathers
person
.
And
this
was
done
that
man
with
more
assurance
,
and
without
danger
of
euer
erring
,
might
come
neare
vnto
the
presence
of
sacred
truth
it selfe
,
and
settle
therein
by
this
manifestation
of
the
Sonne
of
God
.
And
God
became
man
,
that
he
whom
man
was
to
follow
,
might
shew
himselfe
vnto
man
,
and
bee
seene
of
him
.
Besides
it
was
done
,
that
the
humane
nature
might
be
aduanced
to
such
an
high
dignitie
and
excellencie
,
that
no
man
should
any
more
so
much
forget
himselfe
,
as
to
defile
the
same
with
sinfull
impurities
.
Lastly
,
it
was
done
that
man
might
bee
deliuered
from
the
slauery
and
bondage
of
sinne
,
whereinto
hee
was
plunged
;
For
man
was
punished
as
Iustice
vrged
:
That
was
p●rformed
which
God
had
threatned
,
as
Truth
required
The
offender
was
pittied
as
Mercy
entreated
,
&
God
and
Man
reconciled
,
as
Peace
desired
.
Thus
Mercie
and
Truth
met
together
,
Righteousnesse
and
Peace
kissed
each
other
.
The
manner
of
this
is
the
astonishment
of
Heauen
,
and
Earth
;
but
our
holy
faith
makes
it
more
true
then
plain
vnto
vs
;
yet
some
resemblances
may
in
some
part
expresse
this
vnion
vnto
vs
.
The
vnion
of
soule
and
body
maketh
one
man
a
flaming
and
fiery
sword
,
makes
one
sword
one
man
may
haue
two
accidentall
formes
,
Phisicke
and
Law
,
and
a
branch
engraffed
,
and
a
tree
is
one
tree
:
so
Christ
is
one
,
and
yet
hath
two
different
Natures
,
&
in
them
performeth
the
distinct
actions
pe●tayning
to
eyther
of
them
.
Condemned
then
be
all
hereticall
cauils
of
Arr●us
Macedonius
,
Apollonarius
,
Panlus
Samofatemus
,
Sabellius
,
Photinus
,
Aetius
,
together
with
the
whole
swarm
of
Dimiarr●ans
,
and
the
like
damned
heretiques
,
who
eyther
impeach
the
truth
of
Christs
Incarnation
,
and
Natiuity
,
or
the
vnion
of
his
natures
in
one
person
,
or
his
line
of
Dauid
,
For
the
Word
was
made
Flesh
,
and
dwelt
among
vs
.
There
is
the
whole
Nature
of
man
.
And
Christ
in
the
dayes
of
his
flesh
offered
vp
prayers
and
supplications
with
strong
crying
and
teares
vnto
him
,
that
was
able
to
saue
him
from
death
,
and
was
heard
in
that
he
feared
.
There
is
the
true
affection
of
our
nature
:
So
then
,
He
that
confesseth
that
Iesus
is
come
in
the
flesh
is
of
God
,
and
he
that
confesseth
it
not
is
of
the
Diuell
.
There
is
the
triall
of
our
faith
.
For
this
manifestation
of
God
in
the
flesh
is
to
vnbeleeuers
as
the
cloud
that
stood
betwixt
the
Israelites
and
the
Egyptians
at
the
red
sea
,
which
to
the
Israelites
was
a
bright
shining
cloud
,
but
to
the
Egyptians
a
dark
,
dangerous
,
and
portentous
Commet
.
And
is
not
this
then
a
Great
Mysterie
?
That
God
,
who
is
without
beginning
and
end
,
should
haue
a
beginning
with
vs
by
birth
,
and
an
end
by
death
.
That
God
who
neither
changeth
nor
altereth
,
should
encrease
in
stature
:
That
God
who
is
without
commixture
or
defect
,
should
eate
and
bee
an
hungry
.
That
God
who
could
be
no
more
then
he
was
,
should
take
vpon
him
the
shape
of
a
seruant
,
&
be
that
he
was
not
,
that
could
haue
no
more
then
hee
had
,
should
bee
lesse
then
he
was
,
and
could
know
no
more
than
he
knew
,
and
yet
would
feele
our
infirmities
,
and
taste
our
miseries
.
What
tongue
,
what
pen
can
expresse
this
mysterie
?
that
God
should
bee
vnited
vnto
man
,
not
onely
in
loue
&
grace
,
but
in
one
person
:
for
we
must
obserue
that
the
humane
nature
of
Christ
is
not
a
distinct
person
by
it selfe
,
as
Peter
,
Iohn
,
and
such
like
,
but
to
our
vnspeakeable
comfort
is
so
vnited
to
the
diuine
nature
that
did
assume
it
,
as
they
both
make
but
one
person
:
so
that
all
that
is
in
it
,
is
truly
said
to
be
Gods
,
and
al
that
was
don
by
it
,
to
be
done
by
God
,
as
Christs
bloud
was
Gods
bloud
,
Christs
death
was
Gods
death
,
as
hath
been
sayd
.
And
the
God
of
glorie
may
as
well
be
sayd
to
suffer
death
,
as
to
rayse
the
dead
from
their
graues
,
and
the
sonne
of
man
as
well
to
haue
made
,
as
to
haue
redeemed
the
world
.
Who
would
euer
haue
thought
that
so
great
a
wound
as
mans
sinneful
defect
from
God
,
should
euer
haue
beene
thus
healed
?
or
that
God
,
and
a
wretched
sinner
should
bee
thus
reconciled
,
or
that
heauen
and
earth
should
bee
thus
incorporated
,
or
that
the
veritie
of
God
,
truly
God
,
But
yet
behold
this
Great
Mysterie
of
Godlinesse
,
as
it
is
not
to
be
ascended
vnto
in
the
exaltation
therof
▪
for
it
is
God
;
and
as
it
is
vnutterable
in
the
humiliation
;
for
it
is
God
in
the
flesh
:
so
it
is
vndoubted
&
infalible
in
the
demonstratiue
manifestation
thereof
;
for
nothing
is
more
euident
to
the
faith
of
christian
beleeue●s
.
It

prophesied
,
shadowed
and
portrayed

Magistrates

:
yea
the
very
circumstances
of
this
manifestation
are
most
exactly
set
downe
.
The
time
limited
,
to
wit
,
When
the
scepter
shall
depart
from
Iuda

At
Bethlem
in

A
goodly
price

I
prized
at

saith
the

treason

That

owne
familiar
friend
in
whom
he
trusted
,
and
did
eate
his
bread
should
list
vp
his
heele
against
him
.
In
a
word
,
all
things
(
euen
to
the
very
vineger
and
gal
in
his
last
suffrings
)
were
at
sundry
times
,
&
in
manifold
maner
long
before
certainly
prophesied
of
,
as
they
were
manifestly
in
their
determinate
times
of
Godperformed
.
So
that
this
manifestation
was
the
accomplishment
of
vision
and
prophesie
,
the
body
of
type
,
and
shadow
,
the
ende
of
Law
,
and
Priesthood
,
the
perfection
of
Sacrifice
and
Sacrament
,
and
the
vnion
of
mankind
with
God
in
Christ
and
thereby
life
euerlasting
.
Is
God
then
thus
abased
in●
our
flesh
?
We
shall
finde
rest
vnto
our
soules
.
To
humble
our selues
to
walke
with
our
God
.
Be
mercifull
as
your
heauenly
father
is
mercifull
.
See
God
is
become
our
father
by
sanctification
.
For
if
wee
being
wretches
can
giue
good
gifts
vnto
our
children
,
how
much
more
shall
our
heauenly
father
giue
graces
and
blessings
to
them
that
all
vpon
him
.
By
adoption
,
For
to
as
many
as
receiue
him
,
he
hath
giuen
power
to
become
the
sons
of
God
.
And
let
all
Infidels
and
miscreants
know
,
that
both
heauen
,
and
earth
,
and
hell
,
doe
all
witnes
against
them
,
and
doe
manifest
this
mysterie
which
is
God
in
the
flesh

and
others

that
now
there
was
manifested
in
the
earth
one
,
that
was
indeede
the
Lord
of
Lords

In
heauen
also
appeares
at
the
time
of
this
manifestation
,
Albertus
Magnus
citeth
out
of
A●bumaser
the
great
Astrologer
,
in
the
first
aspect
of
the
sign
of
Virgo
,
a
faire
and
chast
virgin
,
hauing
two
eares
of
corne
in
her
hand
,
and
a
childe
in
her
arms
,
which
child
some
nations
do
call
Iesus
,
not
as
if
he
that
made
the
starres
were
any
way
subiect
to
the
motion
of
the
starres
,
but
that
he
which
stretcheth
out
the
heauens
as
a
scrole
of
parchment
,
where
he
wrote
the
booke
of
nature
,
might
not
want
witnesse
out
of
the
booke
of
nature
of
that
which
was
contained
before
in
the
booke
of
Eternitie
,
Thus
heauen
and
earth
witnesse
apparantly
this
mysterie
.
Yea
the
very
diuels
of
hell
beleeue
this
and
tremble
;
confessing
in
the
Gospell
,
Iesus
I
know
,
and
Paule
I
know

but
who
are
ye
?
at
what
time
some
counterfeyt
exorcists
tooke
vpon
them
to
call
ouer
the
possessed
the
name
of
the
Lord
Iesus
.
And
the
Oracle
of
Delphos
beeing
the
diuels
mouth
did
at
the
time
of
this
manifestation
take
their
last
farewell

And
in
steede
of
the
darkenesse
of
this
kingdome
,
Sathan
which
had
almost
ouer
spred
the
whole
world
,
this
glorious
Sunne-shine
of
Gods
manifestation
with
vs
,
appeared
,
which
was
so
effectuall
,
that
euen
as
in
the
spring
time
when
the
Sunne
returneth
all
things
beginnes
,
to
waxe
greene
,
the
earth
brings
foorth
,
the
trees
are
cloathed
with
leaues
,
and
the
whole
surface
of
the
earth
is
renued
:
so
at
the
manifestation
of
Christ
the
Sonne
of
righteousnesse
,
the
whole
frame
,
and
fabrique
of
the
world
was
spiritually
altered
.
For
then
arose
out
of
the
former
Hellish
darkenesse
,
quires
of
holy
ones
,
men
,
women
,
virgins
,
martyrs
,
confessors
,
Preachers
,
holy
people
,
whole
nations
,
countries
,
and

declare
the
wonderfull
mercies
of
the
Who
is
the
Rose
of
the
field
,
and
the
Lillie
of
the
vallies
.
Moses
of
old
posed
the
whole
world
with
this
question
.
Enquire
of
the
dayes
of
olde
which
were
before
thee
and
from
the
day
that
God
created
man
vpon
the
earth
,
yea
euen
from
the
height
aboue
to
the
depth
beneath
,
if
euer
the
like
thing
were
knowne
.
That
a
people
should
heare
the
voyce
of
the
Lord
speaking
out
of
the
middest
of
the
fire
.
But
now
we
may
pose
Moses
,
&
say
,
O
Moses
,
then
God
spake
by
an
Angell
out
of
the
middest
of
the
fire
,
but
now
(
O
man
of
God
)
was
euer
the
like
as
this
heard
,
That
God
himself
in
the
nature
of
man
should
sit
amidst
his
disciples
and
teach
the.
This
is
that
the
spirit
of
God
so
magnifieth
.
That
at
sundry
times
,
and
in
diuers
manner
God
spake
heretofore
in
his
Prophets
,
but
in
these
last
dayes
by
his
only
Sonne
,
And
if
the
word
deliuered
by
an
Angell
was
stedfast
,
what
shall
become
of
them
that
refuse
and
neglect
the
Sonne
of
God
now
speaking
vnto
them
?
O
most
ingratefull
,
and
brutish
are
the
sonnes
of
men
,
who
seeke
not
to
vnderstand
this
mysterie
so
anciently
prophesied
of
,
so
fully
performed
,
and
so
manifestly
declared
.
Me
thinkes
I
heare
all
other
creatures
of
heauen
and
earth
say
.
Oh
that
God
had
vouchsafed
vs
such
a
blessing
,
such
a
tie
,
such
a
fauour
,
for
then
had
wee
had
beene
most
happy
.
The
quires
of
Angels
say
,
Oh
that
God
had
ordayned
to
vs
so
vnspeakeable
a
fauour
,
as
to
haue
beene
vnited
to
our
nature
.
But
Christ
tooke
not
vpon
him
the
nature
of
Angels
,
but
tooke
vpon
him
the
nature
of
children
,
that
being
tempted
himselfe
,
and
suffering
,
hee
might
succour
them
that
suffer
,
and
are
tempted
.
Who
would
not
then
in
consideration
hereof
giue
himselfe
a
whole
burnt
offering
vnto
his
God
,
and
consecrate
his
whole
life
(
if
the
terme
thereof
were
euen
from
the
first
Adam
,
vnto
the
ende
of
the
world
)
as
a
votiue
seruice
vnto
the
glory
of
this
God
.
Oh
vncircumcised
hearts
and
eares
of
those
who
neither
care
to
heare
,
nor
to
vnderstand
this
▪
blessed
mysterie
.
For
if
they
would
diligently
seeke
,
they
should
find
that
God
would
manifest
himselfe
vnto
them
euen
in
their
indiuiduall
flesh
,
by
the
sanctifying
power
of
his
holy
Spirit
,
of
the
soule
.
Their
imagination
euill
,
their
minde
ill
,
their
meaning
ill
,
their
will
obstinate
,
their
vnderstanding
darkned
,
their
eares
itching
after
vanities
,
their
eyes
adulterous
,
which
cannot
choose
but
sinne
,
their
mouth
blasphemous
,
their
an
open
graue
of
fulsome
slanders
,
their
hands
rough
,
and
cruell
,
their
feete
swift
to
shed
bloud
,
their
whole
body
a
cage
of
vncleane
birdes
,
their
life
and
conuersation
a
stye
of
stinking
swines
flesh
,
an
Acheldema
of
oppression
,
a
Caluarie
of
dead
spoyles
,
&
their
ende
a
puddle
of
loathsome
impieties
.
But
those
that
secke
God
,
doe
vnderstand
this
mysterie
,
and
shew
forth
this
manifestation
in
themselues
,
hauing
lift
vp
their
heads
as
gates
,
&
their
minds
as
dores
,
and
the
king
of
glory
is
come
in
vnto
them

The
custome
of
the
Aethiopian
Church
,
which
liue
vnder
Prester
Iohn
,
is
to
obserue
the
feast
of
the
Epiphany
as
their
chiefe
and
principall
festiuitie
,
at
which
time
God
shewed
himselfe
both
to
Iew
and
Gentile
in
this
manifestation
by
a
starre
.
Thereby
acknowledging
,
and
that
most
truly
,
that
this
blessing
,
is
the
beginning
and
fountaine
of
all
other
blessing
in
Christianitie
whatsoeuer
,
and
ought
most
sollemnly
to
bee
obserued
,
and
most
diligently
to
be
considered
,
especially
of
vs
that
were
Gentiles

Go
foorth

I
say
)
from

of

both
with

Great

of
Gods

,
but
also
see
it
Iustified
in
the
Spirit
.
Oh
blessed
Emanuell
encrease
our

.
O
Eternall
and
most
mightie
Iehouah
Elohim
,
This
diuine
loue
of
thine
is
incomprehensible
,
this
gift
inestimable
,
this
deliuerance
vnutterable
,
and
this
felicitie
incomparable
.
My
heart
burneth
with
in
me
,
and
the
sparkes
of
deuotion
arise
from
the
center
of
my
soule
,
in
musing
on
this
so
holy●
,
and
so
happy
a
mysterie
which
I
doe
adore
in
the
retirednesse
of
my
spirit
continually
,
and
the
fire
of
thy
zeale
,
O
Lord
,
encreaseth
in
my
heart●
,
and
the
flames
thereof
bursts
forth
,
and
I
crie
to
thee
O
King
of
heauen
,
and
of
earth
,
that
thy
goodnesse
would
vouchsafe
me
a
blessing
among
thine
holy
ones
,
in
whose
flesh
thou
art
manifested
by
the
power
of
thy
spirit
of
sanctification
,
and
other
graces
of
thy
goodnesse
.
For
,
O
my
God
,
I
haue
perceiued
sinne
and
Sathan
a
long
time
to
haue
ruled
and
raigned
in
my
flesh
,
In
my
heart
,
by
auersenes
from
thee
,
in
my
vnderstanding
,
by
misled
iudgments
,
in
my
wit
by
wayward
purposes
,
&
froward
desires
,
in
my
fancie
by
foolish
imaginations
&
designes
,
and
my
thoghts
by
rebellious
affections
,
in
mine
eyes
by
adulterous
wanderings
,
in
mine
eares
by
itching
after
vanities
,
in
my
forhead
,
as
in
the
whores
brow
,
by
impudent
outfacings
,
in
my
mouth
by
blasphemous
swearings
and
curses
,
and
in
my
whole
masse
of
nature
by
lewde
and
loose
conditions
.
Now
therefore
I
come
vnto
thee
,
O
Sauiour
of
mankind
,
the
Phisition
of
soule
and
body
,
and
lie
groueling
in
mine
owne
dust
before
thy
footestoole
,
humbly
praying
thy
goodnesse
for
thy
Christ
his
sake
,
that
thou
wouldest
vouchsafe
to
manifest
thy selfe
by
thine
almighty
power
in
my
flesh
,
in
my
wretched
flesh
,
in
my
rebellious
,
and
rotten
flesh
,
in
mine
haughty
naughty
and
hellish
flesh
.
That
it
may
by
thy
thy
power
become
a
vessell
of
holinesse
,
of
puritie
,
of
grace
,
and
of
glory
.
To
this

GOD
IVSTIFIed
in
the
Spirit
.
Explication
.
GOD
manifested
in
the
Spirit
,
his
iudgements
are
sayde
to
bee
iustified
,
that
is
,
they
are
true
and
righteous
al
together
,
albeit
to
vs
they
are
secret
and
vnsearchable
,
His
wisedome
is
sayde
to
bee
iustified
of
her
children
,
that
is
,
it
is
knowne
to
bee
true
and
infallible
wisdome
.
In
this
phrase
spake
Dauid
to
God
saying
,
That
thou
mightest
bee
iustified
when
thou
speakest
,
and
cleare
when
thou
iudgest
,
That
is
,
that
no
liuing
creature
could
taxe
,
implead
,
or
touch
the
resolutions
,
and
performances
of
Gods
decrees
with
any
the
least
preiudice
or
impeachment
of
iniquitie
,
for
they
were
euer
most
iust
,
and
sacred
;
albeit
they
are
vnknowne
to
vs
,
Is
there
any
vnrighteousnesse
with
God
,
sayeth
Paul
.
In
this
phrase
also
Saint
Peter
vrgeth
the
Iewes
,
that
they
had
denyed
The
holy
one
,
and
inst
,
and
desired
a
murtherer
to
be
giuen
them
.
The
manner
of
this
Iustification
was
in
the
spirit
,
that
is
to
say
;
Hee
was
iustified
in
that
,
which
was
in
his
sacred
person
diuine
,
and
aboue
the
humane
nature
.
So
S.
Paul
teacheth
the
Church
of
Rome
,
affirming
,
that
albeit
hee
was
the
sonne
of
Dauid
according
to
the
flesh
,
yet
was
hee
declared
to
bee
the
Sonne
of
God
,
with
power
according
to
the
Spirit
of
sanctification
,
by
the
resurrection
from
the
dead
,
which
seemeth
vnto
mee
to
intend
two
arguments
to
this
purpose
.
The
first
is
,
that
neuer
any
in
our
flesh
liued
spotlesse
,
and
voide
of
sinne
,
but
Christ
onely
.
There
is
the
iustifying
Spirite
of
Sanctification
.
The
second
is
,
that
neuer
any
of
himselfe
,
but
Christ
Iesus
loosed
the
bandes
of
death
,
and
arose
from
the
fetters
of
the
graue
.
There
is
the
Iustifying
Spirite
of
power
in
the
Resurrection
;
and
euen
in
this
very
phrase
Athanasins
speaketh
,
to
witte
,
That
Christ
was
iustified
,
not
after
the
manner
of
men
,
but
by
diuine
puritie
,
To
this
end
,
that
he
should
bee
honoured
and
worshipped
,
not
as
a
meere
man
,
albeit
hee
was
truly
man
,
but
as
the
eternall
God
in
our
flesh
.
This
therefore
is
the
Catholique
Faith
which
,
whosoeuer
doth
not
beleeue
,
cannot
bee
saued
.
That
Iesus
Christ
is
knowne
by
his
power
in
the
spirite
,
to
be
the
very
son
of
God
against
the
Ma●cionites
,
Gods
sonne
by
nature
,
not
by
grace
against
the
Arrians
,
that
hee
was
begotten
of
the
Father
against
the
Bonosians
,
&
that
from
euerlasting
,
against
the
Natiuitarians
;
that
hee
was
God
of
himselfe
,
against
the
Donatists
,
and
that
hee
was
coequall
with
the
Father
,
and
consubstantiall
against
the
Macedoans
.
This
Iustification
of
the
Sonne
of
God
was
declared
in
the
spirit
of
power
,
and
in
the
spirite
of
purity
,
as
I
haue
sayde
out
of
Saint
Paul
to
the
Romanes
.
In
the
power
of
the
Spirit
it
was
declared
against
al
the
powers
of
darkenesse
,
which
flesh
and
bloud
could
not
abandon
.
For
besides
the
generall
cessation
of
Oracles
at
his
comming
,
the
particular
Idols
were
euery
where
defaced
and
confounded
.
Astorah
of
the
Sydonians
,
Melchom
of
the
Ammonites
,
Chemosh
of
the
Moabites
,
Belzebub
of
Ekron
,
Remphan
of
the
Sirians
,
Dagon
of
the
Philistines
,
Moloch
of
the
Egyptians
,
and
many
others
,
were
in
all
places
of
the
world
put
to
vtter
confusion
:
Because
the
God
of
this
world
,
which
is
the
diuell
was
cast
out
,
and
the
stronger
man
surprised
the
strong
man
,
dispossessed
him
,
dispoiled
him
,
and
vtterly
vanquished
him
.
Insomuch
that
the
very
diuels
cry
,
Torment
vs
not
before
our
time
:
and
aske
leaue
to
goe
euen
into
sordid
swine
.
Thus
was
he
iustified
in
the
power
of
the
Spirite
,
in
●anquishing
the
powers
of
darkenes
.
His
Iustification
was
also
declared
by
the
spirit
of
power
against
his
enemies
,
as
appeared
by
the
fower
Herods
,
As●alonita
,
Archelaus
,
Antipas
,
and
Agrippa
,
who
being
Tyrants
,
and
persecutors
of
Christ
in
his
infancy
,
and
of
some
of
his
followers
,
there
appeared
vppon
them
the
strong
hand
of
God
,
that
brought
them
to
pittifull
and
lamentable
confusions
.
But
most
notably
and
most
notoriously
the
Iustification
of
the
same
God
,
Christ
Iesus
our
Lord
in
the
Spirit
of
power
appeareth
most
euidently
,
euen
at
this
day
to
the
viewe
of
the
whole
christian
world
,
in
his
continued
iudgements
vpon
the
whole
nation
of
the
Iewes
,
who
were
subuerted
,
and
vtterly
ouerthrowne
by
the
Romans
,
at
the
very
time
of
the
yeare
wherein
they
crucified
Christ
,
which
was
about
Easter
:
For
at
that
very
time
of
their
great
festiuity
,
the
Roman●s
came
,
and
besieged
Hierusalem
.
And
as
from
Mount
Oliuet
they
apprehended
Christ
;
so
from
that
Mou●t
was
their
City
entered
,
and
surprised
:
And
as
they
hurried
the
Lord
Iesus
from
Pilate
to
Herod
;
so
they
were
hurried
vp
and
downe
during
the
siege
,
from
Iohn
to
Simeon
,
and
from
Simeon
to
Iohn
,
two
notable
villaines
that
did
mutinize
within
the
City
to
their
vnspeakeable
torment
,
vexation
,
and
vtter
subuersion
.
And
as
they
whipped
the
Lord
of
Life
,
and
attired
him
in
despicable
maner
,
in
contempt
and
scorne
;
Euen
so
they
were
whipped
vp
and
downe
the
holy
City
in
great
villany
and
reproach
by
the
Romane
souldiers
.
And
as
the
Lord
Iesus
was
solde
for
thirty
peeces
of
siluer
by
Iudas
a
Iew
;
euen
so
thirty
of
the
Iewes
in
the
sacking
of
the
City
were
solde
for
one
peece
of
siluer
by
the
Souldiers
.
And
euen
yet
the
hand
of
Gods
power
to
iustifie
his
sonnes
innocency
,
is
not
shortned
,
but
stretched
out
against
them
still
.
The
holy
bloud
of
Christ
crying
against
them
,
and
against
their
children
(
as
they
themselues
desired
)
for
vengeance
.
They
liuing
as
a
forlorne
and
scattered
people
vpon
the
surface
of
the
earth
without
Priest
or
Prophet
,
King
or
Scepter
,
comfort
or
compassion
.
In
a
word
tell
me
,
who
did
euer
striue
against
the
Messias
and
did
prosper
,
or
band
himselfe
against
Christ
,
or
Christian
,
and
was
not
confounded
?
Christ
was
also
iustified
by
the
spirit
of
sanctifying
puritie
;
beeing
pure
,
and
spotlesse
in
himselfe
,
both
in
body
and
soule
,
for
there
was
not
any
guile
in
him
,
and
also
pure
in
his
redeemed
people
effectually
.
In
himselfe
pure
,
his
conception
pure
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
his
birth
pure
of
a
Virgin
,
his
life
pure
,
both
in
word
and
deed
,
in
life
and
death
pure
,
for
hee
offended
not
,
no
not
so
much
as
in
his
tongue
,
and
he
is
perfect
that
so
offendeth
not
.
In
his
redeemed
people
pure
,
by
the
effects
of
the
same
iustifying
spirite
:
For
whereas
all
the
whole
world
else
is
set
vpon
wickednesse
,
hunting
eyther
with
profite
,
as
with
a
bloud-hound
,
or
else
beeing
befooled
or
besotted
with
pleasures
,
as
theyr
Helena
(
these
two
beeing
,
as
it
were
,
the
two
Poles
wheron
the
whole
world
else
is
turned
)
the
spirite
of
Christ
hath
wrought
in
those
that
are
his
,
●uch
a
measure
of
sanctification
,
that
they
minde
and
breath
nothing
but
Heauen
,
and
heauenly
things
.
If
it
thunder
that
(
say
they
)
is
the
voyce
of
our
heauenly
Father
;
If
they
cast
their
eyes
to
those
visible
heauens
,
there
(
say
they
)
is
the
curtaine
,
or
base
court
of
our
inheritance
among
the
Sa●nts
.
If
they
heare
musicke
,
Oh
(
say
they
)
what
harmony
do
the
Angels
make
in
Heauen
?
If
they
behold
the
earth
and
the
glory
therof
,
they
say
,
If
God
haue
prouided
such
a
place
of
pleasure
for
vs
on
earth
in
this
our
prison
;
What
glory
is
that
hee
hath
layde
vp
for
vs
in
heauen
.
In
all
occurrences
of
their
life
,
they
sauour
nothing
but
of
God
and
goodnesse
.
In
a
Word
,
they
liue
not
,
but
Christ
liueth
in
them
.
Their
life
is
to
liue
in
the
Spirite
,
their
passages
are
to
walke
in
the
spirite
,
If
they
resolue
,
their
station
is
in
the
spirite
.
If
they
bee
deuoute
,
They
pray
in
the
Spirite
.
Al
their
whole
seruice
of
God
,
Worship
him
in
spirit
and
truth
.
Otherwise
,
those
that
haue
not
this
spirite
,
that
is
,
are
not
guided
thereby
,
are
none
of
his
:
The
spirite
of
God
moued
vpon
the
waters
;
So
certainely
now
in
the
Regeneration
,
and
new
birth
of
the
Christian
World
:
the
Spirite
of
God
moueth
vpon
the
affections
of
our
harts
,
to
turn
the
riuers
in
the
south
,
that
is
,
to
turne
the
streame
of
our
actions
and
courses
of
our
life
to
the
Ocean
,
the
liuing
God
,
For
hee
hath
made
vs
for
him selfe
,
and
therefore
our
hearts
are
neuer
quiet
,
When
Christ
therefore
speaketh
,
Let
him
that
hath
an
eare
to
heare
,
heare
what
the
spirite
sayth
to
the
Churches
.
The
Comforter
also
of
Gods
Church
is
the
spirite
,
which
is
Gods
gift
vnto
his
,
and
doth
Witnesse
with
the
spirite
,
That
wee
are
the
sonnnes
of
God
.
There
is
the
certainty
of
the
subiect
of
our
Faith
,
The
spirite
doth
make
intercession
for
vs
,
with
sighes
vnutterable
.
There
is
the
breath
of
our
prayers
,
and
doth
helpe
our
infirmities
,
There
is
the
stay
and
pillar
of
all
our
happinesse
,
The
first
Adam
being
a
liuing
soule
,
but
the
second
Adam
a
quickning
spirite
:
For
they
are
quickned
,
in
whom
this
blessed
spirite
dwelleth
,
both
toward
God
in
the
spirite
of
faith
,
and
holy
vnion
,
and
in
the
spirite
of
zeale
being
rauished
for
the
hope
of
Heauen
,
as
appeared
in
the
blessed
Martyres
,
and
also
quickned
towardes
others
in
the
spirite
of
charity
,
keeping
the
vnity
of
the
spirite
in
the
bonde
of
peace
,
in
the
spirit
of
meekenesse
,
and
placabilitie
being
easie
to
bee
entreated
for
Christs
sake
.
Quickened
in
themselues
in
the
Spirit
of
sanctification
,
Doing
iustly
in
all
their
actions
with
all
men
.
To
this
purpose
,
the
earnest
of
the
Spirit
is
giuen
the
Elect
,
euen
in
this
life
,
neuer
to
be
taken
away
,
but
to
bee
made
vp
(
for
that
is
the
〈◊〉
of
an
earnest
)
and
the
pledge
of
the
spirite
,
as
an
hostage
to
secure
them
;
the
seale
of
the
promise
to
sanctifie
them
,
and
the
spirit
it selfe
being
the
Doctor
of
trueth
,
to
leade
them
into
all
truth
,
that
their
sensuall
part
may
bee
guided
by
right
reason
,
theyr
reason
ordered
by
faith
,
and
their
faith
illuminated
,
sanctified
,
and
ledde
on
by
the
Spirite
of
God
.
Indeede
to
them
that
seeke
,
not
after
God
,
this
direction
of
his
most
holy
spirite
is
hateful
,
and
the
reason
is
very
plaine
.
Euen
because
this
sacred
spirite
of
the
eternall
God
,
Rebuketh
the
world
of
sinne
,
of
righteousnes
and
of
iudgement
.
It
rebuketh
the
world
of
sinne
,
because
the
wicked
world
beleeueth
not
,
which
is
the
Sinne
of
Sinnes
,
as
I
may
so
say
,
but
is
fraught
with
furious
spirits
of
blind
ignorance
,
and
desperatefolly
,
which
cast
thousands
into
fires
,
and
waters
of
misperswasion
,
and
misbeleefe
,
and
these
worldlings
are
caught
away
with
vnpure
spirites
of
sensuall
security
;
which
possesse
them
both
with
dumbnes
&
deafenesse
,
that
they
can
neyther
speake
of
God
,
but
in
their
blasphemous
cursinges
and
swearings
,
nor
heare
of
God
,
without
great
wearisomnesse
and
discontent
,
This
sacred
spirite
also
rebuketh
the
world
of
righteousnesse
,
because
,
sayeth
Christ
,
I
goe
the
right
way
vnto
the
Father
;
but
the
world
is
ledde
by
witte
worshippes
,
will
worships
,
and
other
such
deuises
of
singularity
&
conceited
righteousnesse
of
mans
many
inuentions
.
Some
with
Anabaptisme
,
the
Prince
of
this
world
is
iudged
already
,
and
the
vnbeleeuers
his
vassalls
,
and
slaues
,
are
iudged
with
him
,
and
are
reserued
for
the
further
iudgement
,
and
vtter
darkenesse
of
these
vnpure
spirites
,
that
are
already
in
chaines
to
be
brought
forth
in
the
great
audite
of
Christ
,
and
end
of
the
world
.
For
what
deuoute
soule
trembleth
not
?
yea
shuddereth
not
with
horror
,
to
know
that
Sathan
is
the
God
of
this
world
,
I
wonder
that
the
whole
frame
and
fabrique
of
nature
,
shaketh
and
quaketh
not
to
beare
,
and
heare
those
hellish
and
diuelish
miscreants
,
that
when
the
seruants
of
GOD
preach
solemnely
,
soberly
,
&
seriously
,
in
the
power
,
zeale
and
abundance
of
their
spirit
,
say
to
them
,
as
Festus
sayd
to
Paul
,
This
man
is
beside
himselfe
,
much
learning
makes
him
mad
;
and
say
to
others
,
as
the
Iewes
to
the
Apostles
,
when
they
had
receyued
the
gift
of
the
holy
spirit
.
These
men
are
drunke
with
wine
;
or
else
take
vpon
them
in
the
diuelish
and
damnable
pride
of
their
owne
hearts
,
to
direct
the
whole
world
,
in
the
misperswasion
of
their
own
singular
and
priuate
spirite
,
not
in
order
to
God
,
as
they
pretend
,
but
in
confusion
to
the
diuell
,
as
the
ende
shewes
.
So
did
Iohn
of
Leidon
,
Nipper
Doling
,
Chreiton
,
and
others
of
that
crew
of
wretched
miscreants
,
who
at
Munster
in
their
enraged
and
rebellious
route
cryed
out
(
being
led
by
a
cursed
spirite
of
their
owne
)
nothing
but
Depose
,
kill
,
murther
,
meaning
those
sober
and
moderate
Christians
,
that
withstoode
their
brainesicke
fury
,
and
Anabaptisticall
fanaticall
folly
,
and
in
all
that
outrage
pretended
nothing
;
but
that
they
were
guided
thereunto
by
the
spirite
.
So
doe
those
that
are
engaged
into
the
spirite
of
Antichrist
,
and
enraged
with
the
poysoned
cup
of
the
strumpet
of
Romish
Babylon
,
her
spiritual
fornication
,
who
speak
,
write
,
and
practise
prepensed
wickednesse
,
as
did
Cardinal
Como
to
Parrie
the
traytor
,
Oh
barbarous
spirite
of
brutish
Popery
,
So
do
those
that
scoffe
at
the
gifts
of
the
Spirite
in
their
brethren
,
saying
to
those
whom
they
see
reuearing
,
and
yeelding
obedience
to
the
power
of
Gods
grace
,
and
counselling
others
to
be
guided
&
gouerned
thereby
.
Oh
Sir
,
you
are
so
full
of
the
spirite
that
it
runs
out
of
your
nose
.
Oh
sir
,
the
spirite
moueth
you
.
This
and
the
like
hellish
language
,
I
say
,
is
an
amazement
vnto
good
men
,
to
thinke
there
should
be
any
so
damnably
prophane
,
and
so
desperately
wicked
,
especially
among
Christians
,
who
professe
in
their
holy
Creede
,
to
beleeue
in
the
holy
spirite
,
and
acknowledge
that
in
the
power
of
that
spirit
,
They
liue
,
moue
,
and
haue
their
being
,
yea
and
they
feele
themselues
oft
times
quickned
from
the
dulnesse
of
sinne
by
the
same
spirit
,
vnto
the
motion
,
and
life
of
grace
,
And
professe
further
,
that
they
beleeue
that
they
shall
bee
raysed
vppe
out
of
their
dust
,
and
from
the
bands
and
fetters
of
the
graue
,
by
the
operation
of
this
powerfull
and
blessed
spirite
vnto
eternall
glory
,
by
that
mighty
working
whereby
it
is
able
to
subdue
all
This
(
I
say
)
is
a
great
consternation
and
amazement
vnto
a
Christian
heart
,
and
causeth
oft
times
many
good
soules
to
quake
and
shudder
to
see
,
and
behold
such
desperate
scornings
,
and
reprochful
contumelies
among
such
,
as
professe
they
beleeue
in
God
.
The
serious
consideration
whereof
(
I
am
perswaded
)
would
eftsoones
trouble
the
mindes
of
many
other
,
with
grieuous
distractions
and
disturbances
,
had
not
the
holy
booke
of
God
in
two
most
pregnant
places
of
the
new
Testament
,
set
foorth
to
the
life
,
both
of
the
Apostacie
of
faith
,
and
irregularity
of
good
manners
,
which
the
spirit
of
God
prophesyeth
should
happen
in
these
last
and
worst
ages
of
the
world
.
For
Saint
Paul
teacheth
the
Bishoppe
of
Ephesus
,
That
the
spirite
speaketh
euidently
,
That
in
the
latter
times
some
shall
depart
from
the
faith
,
and
shall
giue
heede
to
spirites
of
error
,
and
doctrines
of
Diuels
.
The
spirites
of
error
are
such
,
in
whome
there
is
no
sound
trueth
of
GOD
,
but
mingled
and
mangled
with
humane
traditions
,
no
conscience
of
good
,
but
iustifyings
of
their
owne
inuentions
.
The
doctrines
of
diuels
are
prohibitions
of
marriage
,
and
superstitious
abstaining
from
meates
,
as
the
Text
speaketh
,
And
I
take
those
spirits
of
errors
,
and
doctrines
of
diuels
,
are
no where
to
be
found
in
the
Christian
Church
more
pregnant
,
for
we
must
not
looke
for
them
among
Turkes
and
Pagans
,
because
this
Prophesie
reuealeth
what
shall
happen
in
the
Church
,
and
amongst
professors
of
Christ
,
but
in
the
Papacy
only
,
which
in
the
later
times
,
that
is
,
some
sixe
hundred
yeares
agoe
,
or
thereaboutes
,
vtterly
fell
away
from
the
verity
of
the
faith
of
Christ
,
and
gaue
heede
to
the
spirites
of
errors
,
&
doctrines
of
diuels
,
intending
nothing
else
thereby
but
the
subuersion
of
the
Primitiue
purity
of
Religion
,
and
conuersion
of
the
internall
beauty
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
into
an
externall
,
and
pompous
lustre
of
humane
policie
.
And
againe
Saint
Paul
sheweth
by
the
euidence
of
the
same
spirite
,
That
in
the
last
dayes
,
which
are
these
worst
dayes
of
ours
,
should
come
perillous
times
,
wherein
men
should
bee
louers
of
themselues
,
couetous
boasters
,
proud
,
cursed
speakers
,
disobedient
to
parents
,
vnthankefull
,
vnholy
,
without
naturall
affections
,
truce
breakers
,
false
accusers
,
intemperate
,
fierce
,
no
louers
at
all
of
them
that
are
good
,
traytors
,
beady
,
high
minded
,
louers
of
pleasure
more
then
of
God
,
hauing
a
shew
of
Godlinesse
,
but
haue
denied
the
power
thereof
,
from
which
Saint
Paul
counselleth
to
turne
away
.
These
(
Men
and
Brethren
)
These
,
I
say
,
are
the
faithlesse
and
fruitlesse
spirites
of
vanity
,
the
dissolute
children
of
disobedience
,
and
cloudes
without
water
,
who
despite
the
spirite
of
grace
,
Quench
the
light
of
the
Gospell
,
But
(
Men
and
Brethren
)
Hearken
,
whosoeuer
offendeth
of
infirmity
,
offendeth
against
God
the
Father
,
who
is
power
and
strength
,
and
whosoeuer
offendeth
of
ignorance
,
sinneth
against
God
the
Sonne
,
who
is
wisedome
,
and
these
finnes
are
pardonable
,
but
who
so
sinneth
against
the
Holy
Ghost
,
the
spirite
of
truth
and
charity
,
his
sinnes
are
irremisible
.
Let
him
therefore
that
hath
an
eare
,
heare
what
the
Spirite
sayth
vnto
the
Churches
:
For
the
Spirites
of
the
Prophets
are
subiect
to
the
Prophetes
.
Bee
men
neuer
so
profoundly
learned
,
or
so
well
conceyted
of
themselues
.
Christ
Iesus
who
was
our
Reconciliation
on
earth
,
by
his
Incarnation
,
Life
,
and
Passion
,
is
now
our
Aduocation
in
heauen
,
at
the
right
hand
of
God
the
Father
,
by
his
continual
Mediation
,
and
is
our
dayly
Comforter
,
(
as
Saint
Bernard
speaketh
)
by
mouing
,
And
no
lesse
lamentable
are
the
cauils
of
those
which
obiect
,
That
the
Iesuites
(
whom
wee
so
vilifie
)
boast
also
that
they
are
led
by
the
spirite
,
as
if
most
damnable
heretiques
did
not
make
the
same
plea
;
but
the
practise
of
the
Nobles
of
Baroa
is
a
satisfactory
answere
for
that
,
and
all
other
cauils
of
that
frie
:
for
they
searched
the
Scriptures
:
To
see
whether
or
no
the
thinges
were
so
that
they
heard
the
Apostles
preach
;
but
the
spirite
of
Iesuitisme
dare
not
abide
that
triall
,
nor
any
other
like
spirit
of
error
.
Another
saith
,
there
bee
so
manie
that
vaunte
of
the
spirit
,
that
I
knowe
not
which
I
should
adhere
vnto
,
but
Saint
Paul
giueth
a
rule
for
that
.
Neuerthelesse
(
saith
he
)
wherevnto
wee
haue
already
attained
,
Let
vs
march
by
the
same
rule
,
(
which
is
the
sacred
Scriptures
)
that
wee
may
minde
the
same
thing
.
This
plainely
sheweth
vs
,
that
we
must
adhere
to
none
,
for
our
direction
to
God
,
but
such
as
adhere
to
Gods
Oracle
,
the
Sacred
scriptures
,
and
are
guided
thereby
.
Yea
,
but
another
vrgeth
further
(
and
saith
)
wee
see
that
those
that
professe
themselues
to
bee
guided
by
the
Scriptures
,
and
by
the
spirit
thereof
,
doe
differ
.
What
then
?
All
men
haue
not
Faith
,
albeit
in
number
and
profession
they
be
of
the
Church
,
(
as
S.
Austine
speaketh
:
)
&
hence
it
is
that
they
cannot
accord
:
For
what
communion
hath
light
with
darknes●
:
or
Faith
with
infidelitie
?
Yea
,
euen
amongst
them
that
haue
Faith
,
some
haue
a
greater
,
and
some
a
lesser
portion
thereof
,
according
to
their
knowledge
,
by
Gods
dispensation
:
&
hence
it
is
oft
times
that
they
cannot
accord
in
all
things
,
at
all
times
,
for
there
is
a
procession
from
faith
to
faith
,
yet
all
may
holde
the
Fundamentall
grounds
,
and
principles
,
in
blessed
diuinitie
:
albeit
they
differ
in
some
particulars
,
because
some
haue
already
attained
to
that
measure
of
grace
,
which
another●
may
attaine
vnto
in
some
time
after
.
This
therefore
is
an
infall●ble
rule
of
S.
Iohn
:
We
are
of
God
,
hee
that
knoweth
God
,
heareth
vs
:
Hee
that
is
not
of
God
,
heareth
not
vs
:
Hereby
knowe
we
the●
spirite
of
Error
,
and
the
spirite
of
Truth
.
That
is
as
S.
Augustine
expounds
it
,
If
any
man
take
vppon
him
to
expound
the
scriptures
,
the
internall
vnction
,
directing
him
in
all
things
,
and
leading
him
into
all
truth
:
To
this
man
wee
are
bound
to
hearken
,
and
his
doctrine
to
embrace
,
albeit
thousands
gaine
say
it
,
as
the
Councell
of
Nice
hearkened
to
Paphnutius
being
but
one
man
against
the
whole
route
,
and
rabble
of
Pseudo
Catholiques
.
But
if
any
man
vndertake
to
doe
it
of
himselfe
,
of
his
owne
priuate
,
and
singular
spirite
without
warrant
,
and
direction
of
Gods
spirit
which
counselleth
and
guideth
by
the
word
onely
:
It
is
the
Spiders
webbe
,
the
Cockatrice
egge
,
the
fome
of
the
sea
,
the
fume
of
the
bottomlesse
pitte
,
&
wee
may
vndoubtedly
disauow
it
,
and
defie
it
.
I
conclude
then
,
that
this
foundation
standeth
firme
&
sound
,
and
may
satisfie
the
soule
of
any
beleeuer
,
to
wit
,
that
God
is
manifested
in
the
flesh
,
by
beeing
baptized
as
man
:
Iustified
in
the
Spirite
,
by
forgiuing
sinnes
as
God
:
Manifested
in
the
flesh
,
by
being
tempted
as
man
,
Iustified
in
the
spirite
,
as
God
by
ouercomming
for
vs
the
world
,
the
flesh
and
the
Diuell
.
Manifested
in
the
flesh
,
by
beeing
hungry
as
man
,
Iustified
in
the
spirite
,
as
God
,
by
feeding
thousands
aboundantly
with
a
very
small
pittance
:

Oh

Now

O
Lord
I
haue
bin
grieuously
tēptead
with
the
spirits
,
not
of
infirmitie
only
which
dwell
in
my
flesh
,
but
with
foule
&
filthy
spirits
,
of
pride
,
ambition
,
enuie
,
worldly
pollicie
,
&
other
vile
&
vaine
deceitfulnes
of
mine
own
heart
,
and
oft

with
lothsom
and
vgly
spirits
of
lust
,
adultry
,
gluttony
,
drunkenes
,
wantonesse
,
&
many
other
such
like
euills
,
which
haunt
me
daily
eyther
in
thought
,
word
,
or
deed
,
and
seeke
to
har●our
,
in
my
polluted
flesh
,
giuing
me
no
rest
,
nor
respite
,
but
are
still
seeking
,
and
daily
assayling
to
ruinate
and
run
ouer
me
:
and
are
dayly
fighting
and
troubling
me
.
I
haue
sinned
O
Lord
,
I
haue
sinned
,
I
haue
done
euil
in
thy
fight
,
and
these
euills
are
punishments
vnto
mee
for
the
same
.
It
is
I
Oh
Lord
,
it
is
I
,
and
it
seemeth
to
me
that
it
is
none
but
I
that
euer
sinned
so
hainously
against
thee
,
I
seeme
to
my selfe
of
all
others
to
be
the
most
miserable
,
most
distressed
,
and
most
wretched
creature
on
the
earth
.
What
shall
I
doe
,
O
Creator
of
heauen
and
of
earth
?
Thou
preseruer
of
mankinde
,
whether
shal
I
flye
from
these
vgly
Monsters
,
that
thus
pursue
my
soule
,
and
daylie
seeke
to
preuaile
against
me
?
I
know
not
where
to
be
safe
from
them
,
but
onely
to
flye
vnto
thee
,
Oh
Lord
,
who
onely
canst
still
the
raging
and
the
roaring
of
the
great
waters
when
they
arise
and
swell
:
who
onely
canst
chaine
the
Diuell
when
hee
is
●rampant
,
and
ready
to

;
and
who
onely
canst
cast
out
the
vncleane
spirite
with
a
worde
,
that
they
neuer

Now
therefore
come
I
to

,
O
King
of

,
shewing
to

my

,
my

,
how

by
the
power
of
thy

,
by
thy
stretched
out
arme

and
by

of
thy
sacred
goodnesse
,
that
it
may
dispossesse
Sathan
,
the
strong
man
of
his

that
it
may
heale

out
the
vncleane
spirites
,
and
may
vtterly
abandon
sinne
,
shame
and
Sathan
farre
from

,
and

Take

Take

,
mine

spirit
of
crookednesse
wherwith
I
haue
beene

for

yeares
,
and
grant
mee
thy
Spirit
of
power
to
raise
me
vp
,
and
thy
strength
that
I
may
resist
sinne
in
these
dayes
of
my
combating
,
that
I
may
so
resolutely
deuoute
my selfe
to
the●
,
and
to
thy
sacred
seruice
,
that
I
may
neuer
more
hearken
to
subtill
and
enticing
spirits
of
pleasure
,
of
errors
,
of
impietie
.
O
sacred
spirit
that
didst
moue
vpon
the
waters
in
the
creation
of
the
world
,
now
moue
the
streames
and
fountains
of
my
life
,
in
my
regeneration
,
and
new
birth
.
Shake
the
very
foundations
of
my
soule
,
that
the
image
of
Christ
Iesus
may
bee
repayred
in
me
,
which
I
vile
wretch
by
my
sinnes
haue
miserably
deformed
and
defaced
O
blessed
spirit
help
mine
infirmities
,
heale
my
imperfections
,
compassionate
my
miseries
,
and
make
intercession
for
me
,
with
sighes
vnutterable
,
which
will
haue
no

That
I
may
feele
my selfe
comforted
by
thee
,
the
spirit
of
consolation
in
all
the
wayes
of
godlinesse
,
that
I
may
perceiue
my selfe
to
bee
led
on
into
all
truth
and
veritie
and
may
at
the
last
assure
mine
owne
spirit
by
thy
blessed
testimony
,
that
I
am
a
child
of
thy
gratious
adoption
.
O
blessed
Iesus
that
wast
declared
mightely
to
be
the
son
of
God
,
by
the
powerfull
spirit
of
sanctification
,
and
by
rising
from
the
dead
,
that
didst
vanquish
&
vtterly
abandon
all
the
powers
,
all
the
houres
of
darkenesse
,
and
spirits
of
error
and
misbeleefe
,
remoue
farre
from
mee
all
heathenish
,
Pagan
,
and
Popish
idolatrie
,
all
confidence
in
any
creature
,
all
flattering
of
mine
own-selfe
,
that
the
pure
light
of
thy
reuealed
truth
may
shine
into
my
heart
,
that
I
may
euer
worship
thee
in
spirit
and
truth
,
as
thou
hast
commanded
.
And
,
O
God
,
make
my
life
holy
,
innocent
,
modest
,
and
honest
in
thy
sight
,
that
I
may
see
my
heart
repayred
,
and
renued
by
thy
spirit
of
grace
,
to
walke
before
thee
in
godly
and
sincere
integritie
of
conuersation
,
all
the
remainder
of
my
wretched
dayes
.
So
am
I
assured
Sathan
shall
neuer
circumuent
me
,
nor
the
world
deceiue
me
,
or
mine
owne
flesh

mee
,
or
enforce
me
from
thy
holy
and
sacred
directions
,
but
if
I
fall
,
I
shall
rise
againe
,
if
I
turne
away
at
any
time
,
I
shall
returne
againe
.
So
shall
I
euer
magnifie
thy
name
,
and
multiplie
prayses
vnto
thy
maiestie
,
and
ascribe
vnto
thee
honor
,
and
praise
all
my
life
long
.
Grant
these
mercies
vnto
me
O

,
and
power
,
for
thy
couenants
sake
made
vnto
mankinde
in
the
iustification
of
thy

Iesus
,
both
for
the
sanctitie
of

from

to

,
that

THis
Manifestation
of
God
in
the

,
and
iustification

,

My
purpose
in
this
discourse
,
beeing
not
to
make
knots
,
but
to
endeauour
to
vntie
them
rather
,
and
not
so
much
to
satisfie
the
brain
with
curious
contemplacions
,
as
to
desire
to
sanctifie
the
heart
with
diuine
meditations
,
shall
endeauo●r
and
tend
to
open
more
profitable
lessons
,
and
therefore
first
I
shew
vnto
you
,
that
Angels
are
spirituall
essences
created
of
nothing
,
formed
most
neere
to
the
●mage
of
God
,
ordayned
of
God
to
minister
to
himselfe
,
to
take
care
of
his
elect
people
,
and
to
enioy
eternall
happinesse
with
him
,
being
endued
with
most
royal
robes
of
excellent
wisedome
,
righteousnesse
,
and
sanctitie
.
The
Scripture
both
Canonicall
and
Apocripha
notifie
their
natures
by
certaine
proper
names
attributed
vnto
them
The
sacred
Canonicall
Scripture
,
note●h
two
of
most
eminent
imployment
,
Gabriel
signifying
the
power
of
God
imployed
in
the
message
of
this
manifestation
,
and
Michael
,
signifying
,
Who
is
as
God
,
imployed
in
the
debellation
of
gods
,
&
our
enemies
The
Apocrypha
Scripture
hath
these
fowre
,
Raphael
,
which
is
power
of
healing
,
Vriel
named
so
of
the
light
,
Ieremiel
called
so
of
the
mercie
of
God
,
and
Shealtiel
designing
the
prayse
of
God
.
The
Canonicall
Epistles
of
Saint
Paul
to
the
Churches
of
Ephesus
,
A
thousand
thousand
of
which
stand
before
him
,
&
10000.
minister
vnto
him
.
Such
are
their
names
,
such
are
their
natures
,
&
such
are
their
general
imployments
.
And
as
for
their
conceited
hierarchies
of
angels
,
assisting
Seraphins
,
Cherubins
,
&
thrones
Angels
commanding
dominations
,
principalities
,
powers
,
angels
executing
,
Michael
,
Gabriel
,
Raphael
,
are
rather
fancies
than
verities
,
rather
imaginations
then
conclusions
of
diuinity
.
As
for
their
number
,
wee
are
sure
it
is
numberlesse
.
For
Daniel
saith
,
A
thousand
thousand
stand
before
him
,
and
ten
thousand
minister
vnto
him
:
where
a
difinite
number
is
put
for
an
indefinite
.
Christ
himself
also
testifies
it
saying
.
I
can
euen
now
pray
vnto
my
Father
,
and
he
will
giue
me
more
then
twelue
legions
of
Angels
;
That
wee
are
come
to
innumerable
company
of
Angels
.
This
Misterie
of
Godlinesse
,
is
sayde
here
to
bee
seene
of
these
glorious
spirits
the
Angels
,
so
that
wee
see
Godlines
is
Angelicall
.
Seene
,
that
is
,
perfectly
knowne
,
for
what
we
see
we
auerre
confidently
against
all
gainesayers
to
be
true
,
for
we
auouch
with
asseueration
,
Seene
intellectually
,
as
the
Lattins
speake
,
they
see
in
their
mindes
:
Speake
on
my
son
that
I
may
see
thee
.
In
which
sence
also
the
Angels
who
are
childrens
Gardians
,
are
fayde
alwayes
to
behold
the
face
of
their
Father
in
heauen
.
Vnto
naturall
sight
three
things
are
required
.
First
the
power
of
seeing
,
then
the
light
,
as
the
meanes
of
seeing
,
and
a
visible
forme
for
the
obiect
.
To
this
intellectual
,
Angelicall
knowledge
or
fight
are
three
things
also
requisite
.
First
,
their
intellectuall
power
of
knowledge
giuen
them
by
their
Creator
in
their
creation
;
then
the
reflection
of
Gods
light
,
as
the
meanes
of
their
knowledge
,
and
the
sacred
body
of
Christ
Iesus
as
the
visible
obiect
to
delight
them
.
The
knowledge
then
of
Angells
is
twofold
,
the
one
naturall
whereby
they
see
,
and
know
God
in
the
vndeuided
Trinitie
(
to
wit
)
the
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
holy
Ghost
)
one
in
essence
,
and
three
in
existence
,
and
all
the
creatures
of
God
in
this
blessed
vision
.
The
other
knowledge
of
things
is
two
fold
:
First
,
by
a
matutine
knowledge
,
as
Saint
Angustiue
calleth
it
,
knowing
,
and
seeing
all
things
in
the
Word
,
by
whom
all
things
were
made
,
and
afterwards
by
a
view
of
the
creatures
in
themselues
.
For
the
Angells
see
the
creatures
in
God
,
and
men
see
God
in
the
creatures
.
Playnely
thus
,
Euclides
,
Archimides
,
or
some
such
like
skilfull
Mathematitian
,
first
seeth
,
and
knoweth
the
length
,
and
breadth
,
and
all
the
demensions
of
the
lines
,
and
euery
turning
,
tryangle
,
and
particular
parcell
of
his
draught
and
circle
in
his
minde
and
cogitation
,
and
afterwardes
seeth
and
knoweth
the
same
lines
,
angles
,
and
Circles
,
in
the
table
,
dust
or
earth
,
wherein
hee
draweth
those
proportions
;
semblably
the
Angels
see
,
and
know
all
things
reuealed
vnto
them
:
First
in
God
,
and
then
in
the
Creatures
;
in
God
,
as
in
their
mindes
,
in
the
Creatures
,
as
in
the
reuealed
obiects
,
For
Angels
haue
a
naturall
knowledge
,
wherein
they
were
created
,
euen
as
many
as
continued
their
stations
in
the
truth
and
seruice
of
their
Creator
,
and
they
haue
also
reuealed
knowledge
from
God
in
seuerall
particulars
,
as
to
the
Angell
Gabriel
was
made
knowne
in
particular
the
Incarnation
of
the
Messia●
.
And
they
haue
also
an
experimentall
knowledge
of
Gods
wisdome
in
the
mysterie
of
his
sonnes
Inca●nation
,
euen
by
the
reuelation
of
preaching
in
Gods
church
,
as
Paul
witnesseth
,
Vnto
mee
(
sayth
he
)
who
am
lesse
,
then
the
least
of
al
Saints
,
is
this
grace
giuen
,
that
I
should
preach
among
the
Gentiles
the
vnsearchable
riches
of
Christ
,
and
to
make
all
men
see
what
is
the
fellowship
of
the
mysterie
which
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
hath
beene
hid
in
God
,
who
created
all
things
by
Iesus
Christ
,
to
the
e●tent
that
now
to
the
principalities
and
powers
in
heauenly
places
might
bee
knowne
(
by
the
Church
)
the
manifolde
wisdome
of
God
.
And
this
is
most
apparant
in
the
sight
,
and
certaine
knowledge
,
that
the
Angels
of
Heauen
had
of
the
particulars
touching
this
blessed
mysterie
;
for
before
Christs
incarnation
,
the
time
of
the
sixtie
two
weekes
,
which
was
the
time
,
from
that
prophesie
to
his
passion
was
seene
▪
and
known
to
an
Angel
,
Christs
name
was
foretolde
by
an
Angell
before
hee
was
conceiued
in
the
womb
;
In
his
temptation
in
the
wildernesse
,
While
he
was
in
the
graue
an
Angell
descendeth
,
After
his
Resurrection
,
two
Angels
sate
one
at
the
head
,
and
the
other
at
the
feet
,
In
his
Ascension
two
Angels
spake
vnto
the
people
,
that
gazed
vp
into
Heauen
,
Yea
the
very
euill
Angels
saw
and
knew
the
power
of
the
sonne
of
God
in
this
manifestation
to
their
great
terror
and
torment
.
Insomuch
that
they
crie
in
the
possessed
;
Oh
Iesu
,
what
haue
wee
to
doe
with
thee
?
Art
thou
come
to
torment
vs
before
our
time
?
And
when
they
were
forced
to
depart
out
of
the
possessed
,
they
roare
and
yell
,
yea
they
fell
downe
,
and
confesse
saying
,
Thou
art
the
Sonne
of
God
:
and
at
the
last
being
driuen
by
extremit●es
,
they
desperately
attempt
to
coniure
Iesus
Christ
by
God
himselfe
,
not
to
torment
them
.
Moreouer
,
after
Christ
departure
into
Heauen
,
And
the
Disciples
of
Christ
came
vnto
him
reioising
,
that
euill
Angels
were
made
Whereby
it
appeareth
to
our
vnspeakeable
comfort
that
the
God
whom
we
serue
,
was
knowne
and
acknowledged
of
the
blessed
Angels
,
yea
,
and
that
euill
Angels
also
felt
his
power
,
and
know
him
to
their
faster
and
deeper
despayre
,
and
are
now
,
and
alwayes
made
subiect
to
Gods
elect
.
What
vnspeakeable
comfort
is
the
knowledge
of
this
vnto
vs
?
For
all
these
blessed
Spirites
are
the
attendants
of
our
Lord
Christ
,
and
are
his
Emissaries
and
Nuntioes
,
sent
out
by
him
for
the
good
of
them
that
shall
be
saued
.
Not
that
euery
particular
person
hath
a
peculiar
Angell
designed
vnto
him
to
bee
his
Guardian
(
as
the
Popelings
would
haue
it
)
but
hence
wee
know
,
And
without
controuersie
,
this
is
more
comfort
a
thousand
times
,
then
to
know
that
one
Angell
onely
is
appointed
to
bee
our
assistant
,
In
our
life
,
in
our
death
,
and
in
the
day
of
iudgement
,
they
are
appointed
of
God
to
bee
our
assistants
.
In
our
life
,
yea
in
all
our
life
:
In
childehoode
,
Christ
sayth
,
Take
heed
yee
despise
not
one
of
these
little
ones
,
for
I
say
vnto
you
,
that
in
Heauen
their
Angels
doe
alwaies
behold
the
face
of
my
Father
which
is
in
heauen
.
In
affliction
Hagar
is
comforted
by
an
Angell
.
In
prison
Peter
is
loosed
out
of
prison
,
In
all
our
waies
the
Angels
haue
charge
to
bee
our
Conuoy
towardes
Heauen
.
At
sea
in
shipwracke
,
an
Angell
comforteth
Paul
,
On
land
,
Iacob
in
his
iourney
to
Mesopotamia
,
In
death
they
transport
vs
into
Abrahams
bosome
,
Oh
that
our
seruice
of
God
then
were
practised
by
Thy
will
be
done
O
Lord
,
euen
on
earth
,
as
it
is
in
Heauen
,
that
is
by
vs
Christians
on
earth
,
as
by
holy
angels
in
heauen
.
The
Angels
seeing
and
beholding
this
great
and
wonderfull
sacred
mystery
,
Prayse
God
continually
,
crying
Holy
,
Holy
,
Holy
Lord
God
of
Saboth
;
should
not
wee
also
both
by
prayers
and
praises
magnifie
our
God
vncessantly
.
The
Angels
most
readily
exceute
Gods
will
,
should
not
we
with
King
Dauid
say
,
Our
hearts
are
prepared
,
we
are
ready
to
doe
thy
wil
,
O
Lord
.
The
Angels
loue
God
aboue
all
things
:
why
do
we
esteeme
any
thing
in
the
World
but
for
him
,
and
for
his
sake
,
as
helpers
to
leade
vs
towards
him
.
The
Angels
long
after
our
saluation
,
and
much
ioy
therein
:
Why
doe
wee
thrust
one
another
into
Hell
;
and
heauinesse
by
our
lewdnesse
,
misperswasion
,
and
euill
example
?
The
Angels
desire
yet
further
to
see
the
perfection
,
and
finall
consummation
of
this
glorious
mystery
of
Christs
Kingdome
,
why
do
wee
wretches
neglect
the
blessed
meanes
thereof
,
which
are
offered
vnto
vs
euery
day
?
Thus
the
blessed
Angells
doe
,
because
they
are
a
part
of
the
Ch●rch
vniuersally
considered
,
whereof
our
Lord
Christ
is
the
head
,
and
they
much
ioy
for
our
association
with
them
,
whereby
the
ruine
of
those
Angells
that
fell
,
is
repayred
,
and
for
the
Incarnation
of
the
Son
of
God
,
wherby
they
are
in
grace
most
assuredly
confirmed
for
euermore
.
Why
should
not
wee
,
hauing
so
cleare
a
reuclation
and
so
displayed
a
sight
,
both
'
in
Gods
workes
,
in
Gods
word
,
and
in
the
face
of
Iesus
Christ
;
Why
should
not
wee
,
(
I
say
Men
and
Brethren
)
endeauour
that
we
may
doe
Gods
will
,
in
some
measure
on
earth
,
as
the
blessed
Angels
do
in
Heauen
,
seeing
God
hath
placed
vs
in
the
middest
,
creating
vs
neyther
Angels
nor
beasts
,
but
affording
vs
the
meanes
by
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
,
that
by
Regeneration
:
wee
might
become
as
glorious
as
the
angels
of
Heauen
,
and
not
by
degeneration
become
worse
then
brute
beasts
:
For
God
hath
giuen
vs
the
sparkes
of
right
reason
to
surpassebeasts
,
and
holy
grace
to
surpasse
our selues
.
Is
it
not
then
a
thousand
sorrows
to
euery
good
beleeuing
heart
to
conceyue
,
that
albeit
God
in
his
aboundant
mercies
hath
thus
reuealed
himselfe
vnto
vs
in
the
manifestation
of
our
flesh
,
among
vs
by
the
power
of
this
Almighty
spirite
aboue
vs
,
and
by
the
testimony
of
Angels
about
vs
,
yet
there
should
bee
of
them
that
professe
Christianity
,
such
as
are
worse
then
the
Sect
of
the
Saduces
,
for
the
Sadduces
yet
acknowledge
that
Angels
were
the
good
motions
stirred
vp
in
vs
,
but
these
neither
acknowledge
God
,
good
motions
,
nor
diuels
,
but
are
copartners
with
the
Diuell
against
Michael
,
and
his
Angels
,
and
are
become
Combatants
Hath
not
Sathan
(
thinke
you
)
sifted
such
to
the
bran
,
and
winnowed
such
to
the
chaffe
by
his
damned
motions
,
that
he
hath
made
them
good
for
nothing
,
and
left
in
them
nothing
but
the
dregs
,
and
remnants
of
himselfe
,
as
namely
,
the
eagernesse
,
and
greedy
desire
of
hauing
,
and
the
cursed
sins
of
despite
and
malice
:
for
they
haue
taken
the
Diuell
at
his
word
,
when
he
shewed
them
the
Worlde
,
and
the
glory
therof
,
and
said
vnto
them
.
All
this
will
I
giue
you
,
they
immediately
fall
downe
and
worship
him
.
Or
else
shew
themselues
to
be
of
the
diuels
pedegree
by
the
grosnes
of
lying
,
All
which
dregs
of
the
diuel
.
hide
the
sonne
of
God
from
those
children
of
disobedience
,
and
nothing
remaineth
for
them
(
except
they
repent
)
but
the
fearefull
sentence
of
Depart
from
mee
yee
cursed
into
hell
fire
,
prepared
for
the
Diuel
and
his
Angels
.
Whereas
if
the
sonnes
of
men
would
consider
but
what
losses
they
sustaine
hereby
,
me
thinkes
it
should
recall
euery
good
mind
,
but
of
an
ordinary
vnderstanding
to
a
far
better
disposition
:
For
we
Christians
lose
by
such
wickednesse
the
honour
of
beeing
such
euill
Angels
Iudges
;
Why
doe
not
yee
know
that
we
shall
iudge
the
Angels
?
that
is
,
doe
ye
not
know
that
we
shall
be
assessors
with
Christ
in
the
day
of
iudgment
,
and
condemne
the
diuell
and
his
angels
?
We
lose
the
sight
of
Christs
mysticall
body
in
the
glory
of
his
Saints
,
Which
the
Angels
of
heauen
desired
to
behold
.
We
loose
the
victorious
triumph
of
Gods
Saints
,
for
shortly
Sathan
shall
bee
beate
downe
vnder
our
feet
.
Let
vs
then
rayse
vppe
our selues
to
his
glorious
assotiation
of
the
Angels
,
in
our
seruice
of
God
,
knowing
,
that
there
are
more
with
vs
,
then
against
vs
,
and
that
our
Lord
(
Christ
Iesus
shal
appeare
in
the
end
of
the
world
with
this
holy
Angels
in
Maiesty
,
And
I
adiure
you
before
Iesus
Christ
,
and
his
Elect
Angels
,
that
yee
diligently
and
duely
consider
these
things
,
But
yee
are
come
vnto
Mount
Sion
,
and
vnto
the
City
of
the
liuing
God
,
the
heauenly
Ierusalem
,
and
to
aninnumerable
company
of
Angels
,
and
to
the
generall
assemblie
,
and
Church
of
the
first
borne
,
which
are
written
in
heauen
,
and
to
God
the
iudge
of
all
,
and
to
the
spirites
of
iust
men
made
perfect
,
and
to
Iesus
the
Mediator
of
the
New
Test●ment
,
and
to
the
bloud
of
sprinck
lings
,
which
speaketh
better
thinges
then
that
of
Abell
.
Oh
blessed
Lord
,
let
mee
see
thy
face
,
for
thy
face
Lord
will
I
seeke
.
Incomparably
blessed
are
those
sacred
Spirtes
(
O
holy
&
heauenly
Father
)
who
euer
attend
thy
glorious
Maiesty
,
and
stand
before
thee
●ight
&
day
to
behold
and
see
thee
in
thy
displaied
glory
.
They
are
in
the
fulnesse
of
ioy
,
and
at
thy
right
hand
,
where
are
blessings
for
euermore
They
are
euer
delighted
with
the
sight
of
thin●
vnsearchable
wisedome
,
of
thine
vnutterable
glory
,
and
vnspeakable
mercy
.
They
are
free
from
the
assaults
of
sinne
or
Sathan
,
for
no
euill
commeth
neere
thy
dwelling
.
O
miserable
,
wretches
that
wee
are
on
earth
,
subiect
to
Sathans
sl●ights
,
the
fleshes
frailety
,
and
the
worlds
wickednesse
.
Debarred
are
we
from
thy
glorious
light
(
O
King
of
Heauen
)
and
shut
vp
h●●e
in
the
darkenes
of
our
own
ignorance
,
and
lye
in
the
very
shadow
of
death
.
Restrained
are
wee
from
the
ioyfull
fruition
of
the
companie
of
those
stiall
attendants
the
Angels
&
Saints
that
euer
doe
thee
seruice
without
ceasing
.
O
blessed
Lord
,
how
happy
were
wee
the
miserable
inhabitants
of
thy
footstoole
,
if
thou
wouldest
vouchsafe
vs
that
fauour
for
Christ
his
sake
,
as
to
deliuer
vs
out
of
the
prison
of
this
body
,
out
of
the
fetters
of
sinne
,
and
out
of
the
snares
of
the
Diuell
,
that
wee
might
serue
thee
without
feare
in
thy
Court
of
Heauen
continually
.
Consider
good
Father
our
miserie
,
and
forasmuch
as
in
Christ
Iesus
thou
hast
giuen
vs
a
light
of
thy selfe
,
in
the
mirror
of
thy
mercy
,
and
mystery
of
Christian
godlinesse
.
Leaue

not

,
but
grant
vs
for
his
passion
sake
a
glympse
of
thee
,
euen
in
this
Life
,
while
wee
are
here
,
that
our

may
be
rauished
with
holy

,
and
neuer
be
satisfied
vntill
we
come
vnto
thee
our
God
to
enioy
thy

in
glorious
maiestie
.
To
this
blessed
end
,
Oh
tender
hearted
Father
,
arme
vs
with
helpe
from
heauen
in
all
the
occasions
of
our
life
.
For
thou
knowest
:
O
Lord
,
that
wee
war
not
against
flesh
and
bloud
onely
which
are
intestine
and
home-bred
enemies
,
but
against
principalities
,
powers
and
spirites
of
errors
,
and
darkenesse
in
high
places
.
Thou
knowest
O
Lord
,
that
they
are
many
,
mighty
and
malitious
:
Thou
knowest
our
frailety
,
our
feeblenesse
,
and
our
folly
.
Helpe
vs
then
,
deare
Father
,
out
of
all
the
temptations
and
snares
of
the
diuell
.
Let
thy
guard
of
good

stand

stand

O

Let

Let

as

Let

as
they

Let

,
if

as

Let

as
they

saue

Let

And

Cause

O
Lord
,
to
tremble
at
thy
fearefull
iudgements
,
that
didst
not
spare
the
Angels
that
sinned

but
hast
reserued
them
in
chaines
of
darknesse
vnto
the
iudgement
of
the
great
day
,
O
Lord
if
thou
diddest
not
spare
them
for
one
sin
,
what
shall
become
of
vs
that
haue
sinned
dayly
against
thee
,
and
do
multiplie
our
iniquities
as
the
haires
of
our
head
,
and
as
the
sands
of
the
sea
shores
which
is
innumerable

O

forgiue
vs
sweete
Father

forgiue

and
giue

that
wee
may
con●ert

that

and
we

honour
of
thy

O

which
winneth

and
leadeth
indeclinably
into

wayes
of
eternall
blessednesse
.
Grant
vnto

these
mercies
,
O
God
of
mercies

for
Christs

our

So

GOD
PREACHED
vnto

Gentiles
.
Explication
.
THis
Mystery
of
Godlines
,
you
see
,
hath
been
Manifestedin
the
flesh
,
Iustified
in
the
Spirit
,
Seene
of
Angels
,
that
is
,
It
hath
bin
manifested
vnto
vs
in
the
person
of
Christ
in
the
power
of
Christ
,
and
in
the
knowledge
seruice
,
and
ministration
of
the
blessed
Angels
of
Christ
.
What
can
we
then
say
for
our selues
?
Haue
not
wee
heard
of
this
great
mystery
of
godlines
?
Hath
it
bin
hidde
in
a
corner
from
vs
?
or
whispered
in
the
eare
,
or
beene
knowne
to
a
few
,
or
published
to
a
handful
of
people
in
some
angle
or
corner
of
the
world
.
Haue
the
Iewes
onely
had
this
made
knowne
vnto
them
?
Assuredly
God
hath
beene
Preached
.
There
is
the
promulgation
or
proclamation
of
this
mysterie
.
God
hath
beene
Preached
to
the
Gentiles
.
There
is
the
large
extent
of
this
promulgation
God
preached
vnto
the
Gentils
.
For
it
hath
pleased
God
by
that
which
the
world
calleth
the
foolishnesse
of
Preaching
to
make
knowne
vnto
the
world
his
vnsearchable
wisdome
,
and
the
riches
of
his
glorious
grace
in
Christ
.
Preaching
being
the
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
the
spirit
of
prophesie
,
the
glad
tydings
of
peace
,
of
good
things
,
and
of
saluation
,
caused
Esayas
an
E●angelicall
Prophet
of
the
Lord
,
to
say
,
That
the
very
feet
of
them
that
brought
this
newes
vnto
the
world
were
beautifull
.
Preaching
being
the
embassage
of
our
reconciliationwith
God
in
Christ
,
the
holy
ordinance
of
God
,
Woe
is
me
if
I
preach
not
the
Gospell
:
so
necessary
it
was
for
him
and
all
beleeuers
.
Preaching
to
youth
is
,
It
is
as
Solomon
his
wine
to
strengthen
and
glad
the
harts
It
is
as
Saint
Peter
his
milke
for
children
,
to
nourish
and
feede
them
vp
to
godlinesse
.
It
is
as
a
soueraigne
bath
to
heale
all
beleeuers
,
with
what
disease
of
sinne
soeuer
they
be
ill
affected
,
and
it
is
an
antido●e
,
or
counterpoyson
against
all
the
venome
of
our
rottennes
.
For
Preaching
is
the
cele●●all
chariot
,
wherein
the
gra●es
,
and
gifts
of
the
holy
ghost
●●●e
continually
conueyed
●nto
vs
.
So
Christ
testifieth
when
●●e
prayeth
thus
.
Sanctifie
them
O
,
Father
●●rough
thy
truth
,
And
that
we
may
not
●oubt
what
this
Word
is
,
Saint
Peter
preacheth
it
.
That
we
are
●orne
againe
,
not
of
corruptible
●eede
,
For
all
flesh
is
grasse
,
and
all
the
glory
of
man
is
as
the
flower
of
the
field
,
the
grasse
withereth
,
and
the
flower
thereof
falleth
away
,
but
the
word
of
the
Lord
endureth
for
euer
,
and
this
is
the
word
which
by
the
Gospel
is
preached
vnto
you
.
Moreouer
,
this
Mysterie
of
Godlinesse
(
God
preached
vnto
the
Gentiles
)
Saint
Peter
had
shewed
vnto
him
in
his
practise
of
preaching
.
For
it
is
sayd
,
While
Peter
yet
preached
these
words
,
the
holy
Ghost
fell
on
all
them
that
hard
the
Word
.
Obserue
this
saying
:
The
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
fell
on
the
auditors
,
as
Peter
was
a
preaching
.
Out
of
doubt
preaching
is
the
heauenly
talent
left
vnto
the
ministers
of
the
Gospell
by
their
Maister
Christ
,
For
the
brused
reede
it
must
not
breake
,
nor
the
smoking
flaxe
it
must
not
quench
if
God
in
Christ
direct
it
,
but
whereas
knowledge
puffeth
vp
,
Preaching
is
the
voyce
of
God
,
whereby
hee
preacheth
,
and
publisheth
his
holy
will
,
and
last
testament
by
men
,
vn-the
sonnes
of
men
.
In
a
word
,
Preaching
is
the
Manna
from
heauen
to
feede
our
soules
,
the
dewe
of
Hermon
to
water
our
barrennesse
,
the
lampe
and
light
of
God
in
the
darkenesse
of
this
world
for
our
direction
,
the
sword
of
truth
to
cut
asunder
the
Gordian
knots
of
heresie
,
schisme
,
and
controuersie
for
our
satisfaction
,
the
wall
of
fire
by
Gods
promise
to
encompas
vs
from
enraged
beasts
,
for
our
protection
,
the
reuelation
of
the
rock
of
our
faith
to
build
vpon
,
for
thetestification
of
our
ful
assurance
in
Christ
,
the
touchstone
of
our
conuersation
,
for
our
tryalls
in
all
cases
of
conscience
,
the
key
that
openeth
heauen
to
the
●eleeuers
,
and
shutteth
heauen
to
impenitents
,
by
Gods
dispensation
.
It
is
the
Dauids
harpe
,
the
musicke
thereof
so
delighteth
the
soule
,
that
it
doth
not
faint
,
neither
is
altogether
wearyed
with
the
tediousnes
of
our
banishment
in
this
world
:
It
is
the
pricelesse
antidote
;
more
pretious
then
Nepente
,
or
Mol●●
,
so
much
famoused
by
the
ancient
,
for
〈◊〉
expels
by
the
power
of
●●e
spirit
which
accom●nyeth
it
,
all
euills
and
〈◊〉
diuells
.
It
followeth
next
to
whom
his
Mystery
was
preached
,
Preached
vnto
the
Gen●iles
.
Now
it
comes
to
be
consi●ered
,
that
the
time
was
,
when
●he
dewe
of
heauen
fell
onely
The
Iewes
were
Gods
peculiar
to
whom
he
committed
his
sacred
oracles
of
trust
,
Concerning
the
priuiledges
of
those
people
,
Moses
challengeth
the
whole
earth
besides
,
and
saith
,
What
nation
is
so
great
?
who
hath
the
Lord
so
nigh
vnto
them
,
as
the
Lord
our
God
is
in
all
things
that
wee
call
vpon
him
for
?
And
Dauid
concludeth
it
saying
:
God
sheweth
his
word
vnto
Iacob
,
and
his
iudgements
vnto
Israel
.
Hee
hath
not
dealt
so
with
any
nation
,
neither
hath
the
heathen
,
that
is
the
Gentiles
,
knowledge
of
his
iudgements
.
That
the
Sonne
of
God
should
be
preached
vnto
the
Iewes
thus
priuiledged
,
and
esteemed
with
God
is
no
great
mysterie
,
or
maruell
,
but
that
he
should
bee
preached
vnto
the
Gentiles
,
and
that
Gide●ns
●●eece
should
be
dry
,
and
all
〈◊〉
ground
round
about
it
Great
●ysterie
of
Godlinesse
,
and
the
●nspeakeable
riches
of
Gods
●ercie
,
and
the
exuberance
of
●is
goodnesse
,
and
the
glory
●f
the
treasure
,
of
his
grace
●owards
vs
Gentiles
.
For
the
Gentiles
were
Atheists
,
A●●hrists
,
strangers
from
the
●ommon
wealth
of
Israell
,
a●●ants
from
the
promise
of
God
,
and
without
hope
in
the
world
.
They
were
Idolaters
●n
the
woful
alienation
from
God
.
For
they
made
them
Gods

the
hosts
of

of
sinfull

like
vnto
themselues
of
mens
qualities

But
with
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
there
is
plenteous
redemption
.
He
Prophesieth
this
blessings
vnto
them
,
he
performes
it
.
He
prophesieth
it
long
before
by
Esayas
his
Euangelicall
Prophet
:
But
in
the
last
dayes
,
it
shall
come
to
passe
,
that
the
mountaine
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
shall
bee
established
in
the
top
of
the
mountaines
,
and
it
shal
be
exalted
aboue
the
hils
,
and
the
people
shall
stowe
vnto
it
,
and
many
nations
shall
come
and
say
.
Come
let
vs
goe
vp
vnto
the
mountaine
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
the
house
of
the
God
of
Iacob
,
and
he
will
teach
vs
of
his
wayes
,
and
we
will
walke
in
his
pathes
.
For
the
Law
of
God
shall
goe
foorth
of
Sion
,
and
the
word
of
the
Lord
from
Ierusalem
.
And
againe
,
I
am
sought
of
them
that
asked
not
for
me
,
and
I
am
sound
of
them
that
sought
me
not
.
I
sayde
,
Beholde
mee
,
Behold
mee
vnto
a
nation
that
was
not
called
by
name
.
And
yet
againe
,
God
sayth
vnto
his
Son
,
Aske
of
me
and
I
will
giue
thee
the
●eathen
for
thine
inheritance
,
and
the
vtmost
parts
of
the
earth
for
thy
possession
.
Did
God
promise
this
,
and
did
hee
not
performe
?
Performed
this
was
in
Melchisedecke
king
of
Salem
;
in
Abimilech
,
in
Ruth
the
Moabitish
,
in
Rhahab
the
Cananite
,
in
the
Queene
of
Sheba
,
in
Hiram
King
of
Tyre
,
in
Naaman
the
Assirian
,
in
Iob
the
Easterling
,
and
in
the
King
of
Niniute
the
Sprians
chiefe
Cittie
,
as
in
the
first
fruites
of
the
Messias
purchased
by
his
bloud
vnto
God
the
Father
.
This
redemption
of
the
Gentiles
was
also
Prophesied
in
the
New
Testament
,
to
wit
,
That
they
should
come
from
the
East
and
West
,
and
sit
downe
with
Abraham
,
Isaack
,
and
Iacob
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
and
that
the
Gospel
should
bee
preached
to
all
the
world
.
This
was
performed
,
Yet
men
and
brethren
behold
&
see
with
amazement
,
For
to
a
Iewish
spirit
preaching
is
a
scandall
,
to
a
Greek
Phylosopher
it
is
folly
,
to
an
Atheist
babling
,
to
a
Papist
praching
,
to
an
Infidell
intol●erable
tediousnesse
,
to
the
desperately
damned
a
scarre-Crow
,
and
to
the
worldling
,
and
hypocrite
a
cloake
of
dishonestie
.
And
as
the
Preaching
of
the
Gospell
is
thus
vilified
,
so
Preachers
also
are
contemned
.
But
vouchsafe
(
Blessed
in
the
Lord
)
to
cast
downe
your
eyes
vpon
the
Preachers
,
and
consider
well
,
that
albeit
their
high
Commission
is
from
the
Lord
,
yet
obserue
their
contemptible
,
despicable
,
and
meane
condition
among
the
sonnes
of
men
.
By
office
,
Preachers
are
the
Angels
of
God
,
and
the
Angels
of
the
Church
appoynted
Of
God
to
the
people
in
the
explication
,
and
application
of
his
reuealed
will
,
wherein
the
Preacher
is
the
mouth
of
God
vnto
the
people
.
He
is
also
the
peoples
remembrancer
to
their
God
,
when
he
confesseth
for
them
,
and
when
hee
prayeth
for
them
,
and
herein
hee
is
the
mouth
of
the
people
to
their
God
.
The
end
of
his
Ambassage
is
to
deliuer
himselfe
,
and
his
hearers
from
hell
.
God
indeede
hath
sayde
,
to
the
Artizan
,
Build
man
an
house
:
To
the
Phisition
,
heale
this
man
:
To
the
Souldiour
,
●ight
for
man
:
To
the
King
,
Gouerne
thy
subiects
:
To
the
Maister
,
Defend
and
●rouide
for
thy
family
.
But
to
which
of
the
sonnes
of
men
hath
God
sayd
,
Deli●er
thy
brother
from
hell
?
Surely
to
none
but
to
the
Preacher
,
and
that
this
is
the
Preachers
high
Commission
●t
playnly
appeareth
.
For
Iob
sayth
,
If
there
bee
a
messenger
with
him
,
an
inpreter
one
among
thousands
to
shew
vnto
man
his
vprightnesse
,
then
hee
is
gratious
vnto
him
,
and
sayth
,
Deliuer
him
from
going
downe
to
the
pit
,
I
haue
receiued
a
ransome
.
And
Saint
Paule
sheweth
,
that
to
Preachers
God
hath
delegated
the
Mysterie
,
to
be
as
his
Ambassadors
to
pray
,
and
beseech
men
in
Christ
steede
,
that
they
would
be
reconciled
to
God
,
whereby
they
might
be
saued
.
Well
for
all
this
,
let
their
Commission
be
what
it
will
,
their
Ambassage
neuer
so
diuine
,
neuer
so
Euangelicall
,
neuer
so
Angelicall
;
I
am
sure
their
condition
of
all
other
mens
is
oft
times
most
miserable
,
most
lamentable
.
Pitifull
experience
sheweth
it
to
view
of
the
whole
Christian
world
,
that
none
interessed
in
that
businesse
bee
qualified
how
they
will
,
can
please
.
For
Esay
is
too
long
,
Obediah
is
too
short
,
Daniel
too
hard
,
Amos
too
playne
,
Micheah
too
milde
,
Hoshea
too
sharpe
,
and
Ieremie
too
querulous
.
This
was
the
condition
of
the
Prophets
.
Peter
is
reputed
a
drunkard
,
Paule
a
Sectary
and
a
mad
man
,
all
the
residue
of
the
Apostles
esteemed
the
riff raffe
of
the
world
,
and
the
ofscowring
of
all
things
vnto
this
day
.
This
was
the
condition
of
the
Apostles
.
Hence
the
holy
ones
of
God
became
complaynants
.
Ieremie
sayth
,
The
word
of
the
Lord
was
made
a
reproach
and
derision
vnto
him
dayly
,
and
therefore
through
the
anguish
of
his
soule
,
though
vnaduisedly
,
he
cursed
the
day
of
his
birth
,
and
the
partie
that
brought
his
father
the
tydings
where
he
was
borne
,
and
bewayleth
,
that
his
mother
bare
him
a
man
of
strife
,
and
contention
to
the
whole
world
.
For
hauing
neither
lent
nor
borrowed
vppon
vsury
:
yet
euery
one
did
curse
him
.
Paule
also
laments
the
case
,
that
God
had
set
foorth
the
Apostles
last
,
as
it
were
appointed
to
death
:
For
we
are
made
,
saith
he
,
a
spectacle
to
the
world
,
and
to
Angels
,
and
to
men
.
Wee
are
fooles
for
Christs
sake
;
but
yee
are
wise
:
we
are
weake
,
but
yee
are
strong
,
ye
are
honourable
but
we
are
despised
,
being
reuiled
,
we
blesse
,
In
all
this
thinke
not
much
of
it
(
blessed
Brethren
)
for
it
is
the
verie
case
and
condition
of
them
that
now
liue
,
who
are
the
sincere
preachers
of
the
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
liue
conformable
to
the
Church
wherein
they
were
bred
.
For
what
betweene
the
common
aduersary
the
Papist
,
the
diuels
mouth
the
Atheist
,
and
the
intestine
firebrand
the
Separist
,
the
poore
Conformitant
doth
ofttimes
more
suffer
then
euer
did
any
fugitiue
Seminarie
in
Wisbich
Castle
.
But
Christ
was
crucified
betweene
malefactors
,
and
orthodoxe
Christians
haue
euer
beene
tortured
betweene
the
spirits
of
extremes
.
The
Iewes
obtruded
to
the
Lord
of
life
,
(
when
they
had
nothing
else
to
say
)
his
meane
parentage
.
Is
not
this
the
carpenters
son
?
Are
not
such
and
such
his
sisters
?
The
obiecting
then
either
of
basenesse
of
birth
,
or
pouertie
of
estate
vnto
the
preachers
of
the
Gospell
,
is
the
spirit
of
Iudaisme
,
and
let
men
be
ware
in
this
case
,
lest
the
Iewish
plagues
befall
them
.
And
the
challenging
of
singularitie
,
is
the
spirite
of
Iesuitisme
,
and
let
men
take
heed
of
the
spirites
of
errors
and
darknes
of
diuels
,
for
the
diuel
can
transport
himselfe
into
an
Angell
of
light
,
and
such
men
might
proue
light
Angels
.
But
the
sonnes
of
true
wisdome
know
,
that
the
most
abiect
,
and
meanest
things
of
the
world
,
if
God
take
them
into
his
handes
may
worke
rare
and
wonderfull
effects
.
Salt
beeing
taken
into
the
hand
of
God
maketh
the
bitter
waters
of
Iericho
to
become
sweete
.
In
humane
reason
the
salt
should
make
the
waters
more
brackish
,
but
behold
,
The
washing
in
the
ordinary
riuer
of
Iordan
at
Gods
command
cureth
the
Syrian
Captaine
of
Leprosie
,
which
the
famoused
waters
of
Abanah
and
Pharphar
would
not
doe
.
What
is
more
vaine
then
a
dreame
?
yet
Pharoah
,
Nebuchadnezar
,
and
Gideon
,
had
great
strength
,
and
potent
directions
by
dreames
presented
vnto
them
by
God
?
What
is
more
meane
,
and
and
more
vnlikely
then
clay
?
especially
to
cleere
ones
eyes
,
What
more
vnlikely
to
heale
then
touching
?
yet
the
beleeuing
woman
touched
but
the
hemme
of
Christs
garment
,
and
was
cured
?
What
more
vnlikely
to
worke
miracles
then
a
voyce
?
yet
the
vncleane
spirits
were
cast
out
by
the
voice
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
yea
with
a
voyce
the
very
dead
were
What
more
vanishing
then
a
shadow
?
yet
the
shadow
of
Peter
had
effectuall
power
of
doing
wonders
.
Let
Preachers
then
bee
but
Salt
,
yet
they
are
the
Salt
of
the
earth
,
but
ordinarie
water
,
yet
as
Apostles
they
may
water
your
drye
hearts
,
And
this
is
not
of
their
owne
worth
,
&
strength
,
but
(
as
I
said
)
because
God
vouchsafeth
to
take
them
into
his
hands
,
whereby
hee
worketh
out
this
great
worke
of
our
saluation
,
as
appeareth
in
the
vision
to
Saint
Iohn
,
where
it
is
sayd
,
That
God
held
seuen
stars
in
his
right
hand
;
and
in
the
last
verse
of
that
Chapter
these
seuen
stars
are
expounded
to
be
seuen
Ministers
of
the
Churches
of
Asia
.
Therefore
Preachers
God
holdeth
in
his
hand
,
and
so
their
labours
become
powerfull
.
But
cursed
Cauillers
,
like
Iannes
and
Iambres
,
who
withstood
Moses
,
stand
vp
,
and
obiect
.
Wee
confesse
(
say
they
)
this
is
most
true
,
if
God
take
this
businesse
into
his
hand
:
But
alas
,
we
see
this
practise
of
preaching
is
in
the
hand
,
&
handling
of
many
a
sinnefull
man
,
such
as
are
oft
times
more
enormious
,
and
exorbitant
in
their
conuersations
,
then
those
that
are
no
Preachers
.
Well
,
what
then
?
The
word
preached
eyther
by
a
good
or
bad
man
remayneth
the
Word
of
God
still
.
For
if
the
wordes
of
the
scripture
reade
,
or
Preached
bee
but
a
meere
and
deade
letter
,
why
is
it
called
the
Spirite
of
God
?
And
when
wee
preach
,
if
it
bee
but
the
sound
of
a
mans
voyce
onely
,
why
doth
God
vpbraid
the
world
That
hee
hath
called
(
when
men
haue
but
preached
)
and
yet
ye
haue
refused
,
and
why
doe
the
Prophets
when
they
preached
,
in●ulcate
so
often
in
all
their
writings
.
Thus
sayeth
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
when
notwithstanding
the
Prophets
onely
in
the
voyces
of
men
,
spake
,
and
preached
vnto
the
people
.
Yea
,
but
sayth
a
second
:
If
it
were
Gods
worke
,
it
would
not
bee
fruitlesse
,
and
vneffectuall
in
the
issue
therof
.
As
if
that
were
not
as
good
seed
which
fel
among
thorns
as
that
which
fell
on
good
ground
?
and
as
if
Paul
did
not
testifie
,
That
to
some
Preaching
is
the
oder
of
Life
,
vnto
life
,
and
vnto
some
the
sauour
of
death
vnto
death
?
And
Euangelicall
Esay
tels
you
,
That
as
the
raine
commeth
downe
,
and
the
snow
from
Heauen
,
and
returneth
not
thither
,
but
watereth
the
earth
,
and
maketh
it
to
bring
forth
and
budde
,
that
it
may
giue
seede
to
the
sower
,
and
breade
to
him
that
eateth
.
So
shall
my
Word
bee
,
that
goeth
out
of
my
mouth
,
it
shall
not
returne
vnto
me
voyde
,
but
it
shall
accomplish
that
which
I
will
,
and
it
shall
prosper
in
the
thing
,
whereto
▪
I
sent
it
,
sayeth
the
Lord
God
almighty
.
Neither
is
this
all
,
for
a
third
puts
in
his
obiection
,
and
sayeth
:
If
indeed
Paul
and
Peter
did
preach
,
there
were
no
doubt
to
be
made
of
the
happie
issue
thereof
.
I
answere
,
Yet
we
know
that
some
say
d●
to
Paul
,
and
Peter
his
Master
,
euen
Christ
Iesus
,
when
hee
preached
vnto
them
thus
,
Thou
hast
a
Diuel
,
At
what
time
hae
rebuked
them
of
sinne
,
but
these
were
crucifiers
.
And
Peter
they
sayde
was
drunken
when
he
spake
out
of
the
plenty
of
Gods
spirite
,
Therefore
wee
may
see
,
that
all
such
cauils
as
these
,
are
but
the
suggestions
of
flesh
,
and
bloud
;
and
the
delusions
of
the
Diuell
of
hell
.
●agans
shall
condemne
such
●espisers
in
the
iudgement
.
For
the
people
of
Lystra
and
●erbe
,
Cities
of
Lycaonia
re●eyued
Paul
and
Barnabas
,
as
●f
they
had
been
Gods
from
Heauen
,
calling
the
one
Iupiter
,
and
the
other
Mercurius
.
But
beleeuing
soules
entertain
these
Messengers
of
saluation
,
as
Angelles
sent
from
God
.
So
did
the
beleeuing
Galathians
receiue
Saint
Paul
,
albeit
he
preached
among
them
in
great
infirmity
(
as
he
himselfe
confesseth
)
yet
had
not
the
Law
of
God
,
and
nature
for
bad
them
,
they
would
haue
pulled
out
theyr
own
eyes
to
haue
pleasured
Paul
.
Oh
what
is
becom
of
the
kind
acceptance
of
the
former
ages
that
left
all
the
endowments
now
visibly
to
bee
seene
in
the
Christian
world
,
for
the
continuance
and
propagation
of
Religious
preaching
for
the
seruice
,
and
ordinance
of
God
,
for
the
proclamation
of
this
mystery
,
and
for
the
dissemination
of
the
blessed
seede
of
godlinesse
into
all
the
world
.
Surely
,
the
entertainement
of
our
forefathers
of
the
wodden
Priests
of
Babylon
(
who
were
indeede
but
Balaytes
)
will
rise
vp
and
condemne
the
sonnes
,
of
their
irreligious
profane
,
and
base
contempt
of
the
cleare
&
earnest
preachers
▪
of
this
sacred
Mystery
.
But
we
will
cease
to
vrge
our
owne
case
,
and
appeale
from
our
condition
among
the
sonnes
of
men
,
to
our
Master
which
is
in
Heauen
,
to
whom
we
eyther
stand
or
fall
.
Blessed
bee
his
goodnesse
for
euer
,
and
his
inheritance
shall
neuer
fayle
,
that
we
are
assured
of
.
Oh
the
vnspeakable
riches
and
bounty
of
Gods
fa●our
,
that
did
thus
reueale
it
●t
self
vnto
vs
miserable
wret●hes
that
were
Pagans
.
And
now
that
wee
may
●ot
err●
,
or
bee
ignorant
,
we
must
vnderstand
that
we
(
we
I
say
)
of
the
English
Nation
among
others
were
these
Gentiles
.
To
vs
(
to
vs
I
say
)
that
inhabite
the
vtmost
westerne
Isles
of
the
World
is
the
dore
of
holy
faith
opened
,
and
Christ
the
expectation
of
the
Gentiles
reuealed
,
our
hearts
being
purified
by
faith
,
wee
are
now
become
the
sheepe
of
Christs
pasture
,
and
hee
is
become
the
chiefe
Bishoppe
and
Shephearde
of
our
Soules
.
Our
English
Nation
being
at
the
first
deliuered
from
the
blacknesse
and
darkenesse
of
Gentilisme
by
their
preaching
of
this
mystery
of
Godlines
,
eyther
by
Ioseph
of
Arimathia
,
or
by
Philip
the
Euangelist
,
or
as
some
recorde
by
Priscilla
and
Aquila
,
or
by
all
of
these
.
A
remainder
of
that
wretchednesse
,
wherein
we
were
then
plunged
is
continued
,
yet
amidst
our
Nation
:
for
the
dayes
of
the
weeke
,
(
which
our
children
name
)
retayne
yet
the
brandes
of
infidelitie
,
wherwith
our
whole
nation
was
then
marked
.
The
Heathen
Saxons
(
and
such
were
we
once
)
had
gods
for
euery
day
of
the
weeke
.
The
Sunne
for
the
Prime
day
of
the
weeke
,
and
thereof
called
it
Sonday
.
The
second
of
the
Moone
,
Moonday
.
The
third
of
Tuisch
,
for
so
they
called
Mars
,
Tuisch
day
.
Of
Wooden
,
theyr
Idoll
,
Woodensday
.
Of
Thor
,
their
Iupiter
,
or
Thur
,
another
Panim
god
,
Thursday
.
Of
Freer
,
From
out
of
this
Heathenish
infidelity
,
and
bottomlesse
misery
of
blindenesse
and
impiety
.
Loe
the
mercy
of
God
hath
deliuered
vs
by
this
preaching
of
this
mysterie
of
Godlinesse
,
the
Gospell
of
Christ
,
and
hath
made
vs
Citizens
of
the
Saints
,
the
family
of
Faith
,
and
light
in
the
Lord
,
from
out
of
the
bondage
of
sinne
and
sathan
,
from
out
the
confusion
of
Idolatrie
,
and
darknesse
of
of
extreame
ignorance
.
That
the
promise
of
GOD
made
to
Abraham
,
as
Tertullian
reasoneth
might
bee
performed
,
which
was
,
That
in
him
all
the
Nations
of
the
earth
should
be
blessed
;
and
the
prophesie
of
Reb●●caes
twinnes
might
come
to
passe
,
of
whom
it
was
sayde
:
The
elder
should
serue
the
younger
;
which
was
indeed
fulfilled
,
(
whereof
Esau
his
seruice
to
Iacob
was
a
figure
)
when
the
Iewes
were
reiected
,
and
serued
the
Gentiles
,
their
yonger
brethren
.
The
vse
of
this
Saint
Paul
doth
largely
exemplifie
in
the
ninth
to
the
Romanes
.
The
Iewes
were
the
true
vine
,
we
the
Gentiles
were
the
wilde
branches
of
a
wild
Oliue
.
Are
they
eiected
,
that
wee
might
bee
receyued
,
are
they
broken
off
;
that
wee
might
be
engraffed
.
Then
let
vs
feare
,
for
if
God
spared
not
his
own
true
vine
,
questionlesse
,
he
will
not
bee
indulgent
to
vs
that
are
wild
●liues
.
And
let
vs
know
'
〈◊〉
when
the
fulnesse
of
the
●entiles
is
accomplished
,
God
〈◊〉
againe
receyue
his

●●ople
,
and
remoue
the
can●●sticke
,
that
both
Iew
and
●●●entile
that
beleeue
may
bee
●ued
by
the
Lord
Iesus
●hrist
,
euery
one
in
his
ac●●●ptable
time
.
Now
is
our
time
,
now
is
〈◊〉
time
of
the
Gentiles
salua●●on
,
now
is
the
time
that
by
his

Gospell

misterie
of
godlinesse
,
God
will
bee
reuealed
vnto

,
that
wee

God
therefore
perswade
Ia●heth

Amen

O
Lord

And
this
thou
hast
done
O

of
thine
vnspeakable

considering
that
we

Explication
.
THat
the
World
should
beleeue
in
God
,
For
how
should
the
World
come
by
this
sauing
know●edge
?
〈◊〉
Take
the
World
as
in
●oly
writ
it
sometimes
signi●ies
the
reporbate
,
of
whome
Christ
sayth
,
I
pray
not
for
the
●orld
,
For
otherwise
as
the
world
〈◊〉
more
generally
taken
for
the
people
of
the
world
.
It
is
altogether
set
vpon
wickednesse
.
The
World
receyues
not
the
Spirite
of
truth
,
The
Worlde
knownes
not
God
,
The
world
is
at
defiance
with
God
,
as
may
plainely
appeare
by
the
contrariety
betwixt
God
and
the
wo●ld
.
The
spirit
of
God
being
loue
,
ioy
,
peace
,
long
suffering
,
gentlenesse
,
goodnes
,
How
could
it
euer
be
thought
that
these
thinges
so
contrariantly
opposit
,
should
euer
accord
?
Yet
behold
this
great
mysterie
,
for
this
malignant
,
contrariant
,
exorbitant
,
refractory
World
is
conquered
by
holy
saith
in
the
bloud
of
Christ
,
and
multitudes
of
millions
in
the
World
,
(
albeit
not
of
the
World
)
Liue
,
loue
,
and
be●eeue
in
God
amidst
the
furious
,
cruell
,
and
deadly
rage
,
●atred
and
bloudy
cruelty
of
many
miscreants
,
and
infidell
worldlings
.
So
that
now
God
hath
purchased
by
faith
a
world
of
people
to
himselfe
,
called
out
of
the
vniuersall
masse
,
and
multitude
of
people
in
the
World
,
to
know
,
and
acknowledge
him
to
be
their
God
and
Sauiour
.
This
is
the
sence
of
these
words
.
And
the
sacred
scriptures
call
those
the
Worlde
,
whom
God
hath
thus
called
out
of
the
world
,
because
for
their
sakes
onely
this
world
was
made
,
But
when
God
hath
his
full
number
of
these
his
chosen
people
out
of
the
world
,
then
this
world
shall
haue
an
end
,
and
there
shall
bee
a
new
Heauen
,
and
a
new
earth
,
wherein
shal
dwell
righteousnesse
.
To
these
his
redeemed
people
in
the
world
,
God
made
his
promises
,
both
of
the
promulgation
,
extension
,
and
augmentation
of
this
Kingdome
of
Iesus
Christ
his
Sonne
.
First
,
that
the
extention
thereof
should
be
as
large
,
as
is
the
expansion
of
the
Heauens
,
and
so
great
,
that
it
should
encircle
,
and
surround
the
earth
.
Secondly
,
that
the
dominion
thereof
should
bee
from
sea
to
sea
.
And
from
the
riuers
vnto
the
end
of
the
world
.
The
kings
of
Tharsis
,
and
of
the
●sles
should
bring
presents
,
yea
all
Kings
should
fall
downe
before
him
,
at
nations
should
serue
him
.
Thirdly
,
Fourthly
,
that
there
should
●ee
so
great
a
multitude
of
beleeuers
of
all
Nations
,
Kindreds
people
and
tongues
which
stand
The
performance
of
which
●rophesies
,
and
promises
God
shewed
most
power●●lly
in
the
very
commencement
of
this
conquest
of
faith
:
●or
Peter
conuerted
in
one
●ermon
three
thousand
,
So
mightily
,
yea
so
●uddenly
grew
the
word
of
God
,
and
preuayled
,
yea
,
〈◊〉
is
ttuely
obserued
both
by
Suetonius
in
the
life
of
Nero
.
and
by
Tacitus
in
the
first
booke
of
his
Historie
,
beeing
enemies
to
Christ
&
Christians
,
and
also
by
Tertullian
a
friend
to
Christians
,
in
his
Apologeticall
exhortation
to
the
Gentiles
,
that
the
multitude
of
beleeuers
was
so
great
in
the
Prim●tiue
Church
,
euen
amidst
those
furious
,
bloudy
butcheries
,
and
wofull
persecutions
,
that
their
strength
and
puissan●e
,
(
if
they
should
haue
,
waged
warre
)
was
oft
times
a
feare
and
terror
,
euen
to
the
ve●ry
persecuting
Emperours
themselues
.
This
was
exceeding
strange
,
that
a
World
of
people
so
dissonan●
,
so
dissolute
,
so
aliant
,
so
repug●nant
to
God
,
and
to
goodnesse
,
should
become
so
plyable
,
so
flexible
,
&
so
obedient
〈◊〉
submit
,
and
subiect
them●●lues
to
the
yoke
of
Gods
ce●●estiall
direction
.
And
albeit
this
very
acte
●f
beleeuing
,
may
seeme
very
●aruellous
vnto
vs
in
it selfe
,
●et
the
strange
means
where●y
this
victorious
conquest
was
wrought
by
Christ
in
●educing
the
world
to
the
act
●f
faith
,
was
indeed
incompa●ably
wonderfull
,
and
aboue
mans
capacitie
to
conceiue
.
For
Christ
Iesus
the
Sonne
of
God
,
when
hee
made
this
conquest
of
the
World
by
faith
,
did
not
proclaym
to
the
world
(
as
king
Cyrus
did
when
he
intented
his
conquests
)
great
pay
,
worldly
promotions
,
magnificent
titles
,
and
honourable
entertainements
for
his
voluntaries
and
Followers
,
neither
did
Christ
proffer
as
the
diuell
did
,
All
this
will
I
〈◊〉
thee
(
shewing
all
the
king●omes
of
the
world
)
if
thou
wilt
fall
downe
and
worshi●
me
:
nor
as
the
licentious
Turk
doth
,
grants
libertie
of
wiueving
,
to
what
number
of
women
men
will
,
&
of
thriuing
by
what
callusions
,
and
deuises
men
can
(
so
they
doe
no
violence
)
to
all
that
embrace
his
Mahumetanisme
,
For
then
Christ
doubtlesse
might
haue
had
followers
on
a
sudden
more
then
enough
.
But
behold
,
and
consider
the
iniunctions
,
motions
,
and
perswasions
that
Christ
vsed
to
moue
the
world
to
beleeue
and
then
tell
me
(
Beloued
in
our
Lord
)
if
this
be
not
a
secret
and
hidden
Mysterie
.
The
very
first
mandate
that
Christ
ienioyned
to
those
that
meant
to
follow
him
was
,
Re●●nt
yee
:
that
is
,
Bee
of
another
●inde
,
and
leade
another
life
〈◊〉
you
haue
done
hereto●●re
:
This
was
no
lesson
for
the
●●lfe
louers
of
the
world
to
●●arne
,
and
of
these
there
is
an
●●finite
number
.
By
this
doctrine
Christ
●●ight
lose
all
the
nice
of
the
world
,
and
all
that
were
wed●ed
to
their
owne
selfe
li●ings
.
Another
iniunction
was
,
●n
the
world
(
if
you
will
bee
mine
)
you
shall
haue
augariation
and
your
hearts
shall
bee
pierced
●hrough
with
many
sorrowes
.
This
was
no
coppie
to
bee
taken
out
by
the
effeminate
,
delitious
,
and
delicate
persons
of
the
world
.
A
third
was
,
You
shall
bee
hated
of
all
men
for
my
names
sake
(
saith
Christ
)
This
was
no
condition
to
obligue
faint
and
false
hearted
cowards
of
the
world
.
A
fourth
was
,
He
that
loues
his
life
shall
lose
it
.
This
was
not
the
way
to
winne
a
worldling
:
notwithstanding
all
these
,
and
other
such
like
more
conditions
and
entertainments
,
euen
to
exquisite
torments
,
ye●
I
say
,
what
euer
could
be
sayd
or
done
to
the
contrary
by
the
infidell
party
,
in
all
the
bloud
and
but
chery
of
Gods
Saints
,
behold
yee
the
power
of
God
in
this
wonderfull
conquest
of
the
world
by
faith
.
For
a
Centurion
beleeue●
euen
to
life
,
albeit
Christ
is
absent
from
doing
any
act
,
&
speakes
this
in
the
words
of
a
beleeuer
.
Say
the
word
onely
O
Lord
,
and
my
seruant
liueth
.
A
Canaanitish
woman
beleeues
to
health
,
if
she
might
eate
but
the
crums
th●●
fall
●●om
the
table
,
or
touch
but
●he
hemme
of
Christ
his
ve●ure
.
The
good
theefe
beleeues
〈◊〉
saluation
in
Christ
Iesus
,
Mans
reason
in
this
●ynt
is
but
as
a
beast
,
(
as
Iere●ie
sayth
.
)
But
Almightie
●od
hath
his
reasons
for
it
,
●ost
preg●ant
,
&
most
pow●●full
.
For
this
beleeuing
in
●hrist
being
an
act
of
the
vnderstanding
,
assenting
to
Gods
diuine
truth
,
at
the
commandement
of
the
will
,
so
moued
by
the
grace
and
spirit
of
God
,
sheweth
that
it
is
the
power
onely
,
and
spirit
of
God
that
inclineth
our
hearts
to
beleeue
,
This
was
the
reason
why
Lydia
the
Thyatirian
,
hearkned
to
Paules
preaching
,
which
many
other
did
not
,
that
heard
the
word
notwithstanding
,
God
opened
the
heart
of
Lydia
,
that
she
attended
the
the
words
of
Paule
,
that
is
to
say
,
She
attended
not
,
vntill
God
openeth
her
heart
.
The
inuisible
finger
of
God
being
as
you
see
a
golden
key
to
vnlocke
our
steely
hearts
,
that
may
see
,
perceiue
,
and
be
moued
to
seeke
after
God
for
our
saluation
.
And
this
is
the
reason
why
●he
Scripture
calleth
this
cause
The
spirit
of
faith
,
or
the
spirite
●f
beleeuing
.
Gods
second
cause
of
our
●eleeuing
is
his
blessed
,
For
the
eare
,
God
hath
ordayned
a
voyce
to
call
vpon
●s
by
the
paynes
of
preaching
.
For
the
eye
,
his
sacred
word
is
written
,
or
printed
,
that
it
may
be
read
,
and
vnderstood
of
vs
and
our
children
,
and
this
is
the
cause
of
our
beleeuing
which
is
called
,
The
word
of
Faith
.
Aske
a
Christian
then
why
he
beleeues
the
Trinitie
in
Vnitie
,
and
Vnitie
in
Trinitie
:
his
answer
is
,
because
the
Scripture
records
it
,
there
is
the
word
of
faith
,
but
reply
vpon
him
,
and
aske
him
why
he
beleeues
the
scriptures
,
his
reason
is
,
without
reason
in
himselfe
,
for
he
saith
The
finger
of
God
is
there
.
If
you
vrge
and
say
.
Why
doest
thou
beleeue
,
and
I
do
not
,
I
heare
the
word
as
well
as
thee
?
Saint
Paule
will
answer
with
an
out
crie
,
O
depth
!
That
is
a
matter
of
amazement
,
not
of
argument
,
saith
S.
Ambrose
.
But
what
might
be
the
cause
that
stayeth
and
vpholds
the
hearts
of
the
sonnes
of
men
along
the
misery
of
this
life
in
this
word
of
beleeuing
?
Surely
eternall
life
the
saluation
of
our
soules
,
the
last
article
of
our
Christian
faith
,
For
the
hope
whereof
,
the
holy
ones
of
God
purge
themselues
,
Neither
is
the
word
of
faith
verball
onely
,
But
liuely
and
mightie
in
operation
,
and
sharper
then
any
two
edged
sword
,
&
enters
throgh
,
euen
to
the
diuiding
of
the
soule
,
and
the
spirit
,
and
of
the
ioynts
,
and
the
ma●row
,
and
is
a
discerner
of
the
thought
,
and
the
intents
of
the
heart
.
The
people
of
God
therefore
whose
hearts
are
thus
powerfully
moued
by
the
spirit
of
faith
to
beleeue
,
and
thus
effectually
counselled
by
the
word
of
faith
,
to
liue
well
,
Secondly
,
this
faith
of
Christ
worketh
by
loue
,
and
bringeth
foorth
good
workes
.
I
should
euer
therefore
distrust
that
I
neuer
was
a
true
beleeuer
,
vnlesse
I
felt
my
heart
sanctified
by
grace
,
and
my
and
working
the
deedes
of
haritie
.
This
doubtlesse
was
●he
faith
of
the
primitiue
●orld
,
while
the
bloud
of
Christ
was
yet
warme
in
the
●earts
of
those
beleeuers
.
Witnes
all
those
Churches
●olledges
,
Hospitalls
,
En●owments
,
Rents
,
Reuenews
●ands
,
Liuings
,
Pensions
,
and
●●l
other
such
donations
,
and
●onsecrations
appropriated
,

giuen
to
the
maintenance
of
religion
and
learning
,
to
●he
succour
of
the
poore
,
and
●o
the
perpetuating
of
Gods
worship
here
on
earth
,
vntill
●he
second
comming
of
Christ
.
For
the
people
then
liued
,
and
beleeued
,
as
men
knowing
that
the
faith
of
Christ
is
not
fruitlesse
,
and
that
by
the
fruites
therof
,
they
are
assured
of
their
election
past
;
and
of
their
perfection
by
Christ
to
come
:
that
their
good
deedes
should
follow
them
where
nothing

A
blessed
and
beautifull
●ace
of
time
it
was
(
O
Paule
)
when
▪
the
prime
beleeuing
Christians
had
no
other
fault
●ound
in
them
,
no
not
by
●heir
verie
enemies
(
as
Plinius
●ecundus
an
heathen
testifieth
〈◊〉
Traian
the
Emperour
)
but
his
was
all
hee
could
certifie
●gainst
them
to
the
state
,
that
●hey
oft
times
assembled
●emselues
together
before
●ay
in
the
caues
,
and
holes
of
the
earth
to
sing
Psalmes
,
●nd
prayses
to
the
Lord
of
●ife
,
Christ
Iesus
,
which
seruice
for
feare
of
persecution
they
durst
not
performe
publikely
.
O
then
was
the
time
(
ho●y
Paule
)
that
faith
wrought
●y
Gods
loue
,
and
not
by
selfe
loue
,
by
good
workes
,
and
not
by
goodly
wordes
,
what
time
the
beleeuing
Christians
were
knowne
not
●o
bee
of
the
tribe
of
Naphta●●
,
giuing
goodly
wordes
,
euen
fruitfull
boughes
by
a
Well
,
whose
branches
run
ouer
the
wall
.
When
Placilla
the
wife
of
Theodosius
a
beleeuing
Empresse
,
would
resort
vnto
the
Almes
houses
,
and
Hospital●s
of
the
poore
to
see
them
succoured
and
releeued
,
and
when
her
nice
Gentlewomen
that
wayted
o●
her
,
would
dehort
and
disswade
her
not
to
debase
her selfe
to
come
into
such
meane
places
,
and
neere
such
nastie
people
,
shee
with
teares
in
her
eyes
would
re●ply
,
and
say
:
O
I
wou●d
not
doe
thi●
▪
and
this
onely
,
but
so
,
and
s●
yea
much
more
for
the
loue

beare
to
my
Sauiour
Christ
,
an●
to
his

〈◊〉
meane
soeuer

I
〈◊〉
him
my selfe
and
all
I
haue
,
〈◊〉
thousand
wayes
.
(
O
sacred
Paule
)
that
was
●etime
when
men
beleeued
,
●nd
loued
God
so
sweetely
,
●●at
they
would
not
bee
allu●ed
by
the
enticements
of
the
●orld
to
fall
from
the
faith
●f
Christ
,
as
did
couetous
〈◊〉
●mas
,
they
beleeued
,
and
lo●ed
him
so
wisely
that
they
●ould
not
bee
deceiued
with
●he
vanitie
of
wretchednesse
〈◊〉
fayle
in
their
sacred
seruic●
〈◊〉
did
prowd
hearted
Diotre●●●●es
that
loued
the
prehemi●ence
,
they
beleeued
and
lo●ed
God
so
resolutely
that
●●ey
could
neuer
bee
vtterly
●an
quished
either
by
sinne
,
●eath
,
or
Sathan
as
many
mil●●ons
of
vnbeleeuing
,
and
●isbeleeuing
Christians
are
.
But
O
blessed
God
of
hea●en
,
&
earth
,
how
is
the
case
in
●ese
ourdaies
altered
.
For
the
●iuell
hauing
heretofore
ray●d
vp
diuers
heresies
,
and
●hismes
in
all
ages
to
hinder
,
peach
,
and
vtterly
to
ouerthrow
this
sacred
acte
of
beleeuing
and
true
seruice
of
God
,
as
first
against
the
faith
of
Gods
creating
the
world
,
he
raysed
vp
the
Marcionites
,
Carpocrations
,
and
Nicolaita●●
,
against
the
word
of
grace
and
redemption
of
man
by
Christ
,
he
stirred
vp
the
Ebionites
,
Gnostiques
,
Ar●
rian
,
and
Sabellians
,
and
against
the
assurance
of
glory
for
his
Saints
,
hee
enraged
the
auncient
Cathari
,
Pepusians
,
and
Anabaptists
,
and
many
other
such
like
damnable
miscreants
,
against
all
the
articles
of
our
Christian
faith
,
but
now
in
this
dotage
of
the
world
,
he
like
cursed
Caligula
(
that
monster
of
men
)
wisheth
this
holy
people
that
beleeue
in
Christ
had
but
one
head
,
that
hee
might
strike
it
off
at
once
,
euen
with
this
one
blow
,
and
hellish
blast
,
●here
is
no
God
,
But
it
is
a
thousand
pitties
●o
see
and
behold
how
much
●e
hath
preuayled
with
mil●ions
of
thousands
,
euen
in
the
Christian
world
.
Else
how
●urst
so
many
damned
mis●reants
insult
,
euen
ouer
God
●imselfe
.
Let
him
make
speede
●nd
hasten
his
workes
that
wee
may
see
it
.
Yea
that
dare
breath
defiance
,
and
out
face
Gods
●udgments
by
denying
them
,
●nd
saying
:
There
is
no
plague
,
this
pro●hesying
is
but
words
,
this
preaching
is
but
winde
,
and
in
the
ende
fall
away
from
all
that
●s
called
God
,
as
did
Pharaoh
,
saying
:
Who
is
God
that
I
should
serue
him
?
and
what
is
Iehouah
that
I
should
yeeld
vnto
him
?
These
are
such
against
whom
there
is
no
law
in
England
,
which
is
to
bee
feared
will
bee
the
prouoking
of
Gods
iudgements
vpon
this
our
Land
,
and
state
in
particular
,
wherein
there
is
so
much
care
taken
;
and
so
many
good
laws
made
and
that
most
worthily
,
for
the
preseruation
of
the
kings
crowne
and
dignitie
,
that
whosoeuer
speaketh
against
it
is
held
a
cursed
Tray●or
,
and
that
most
iustly
,
and
is
worthy
to
die
an
ignominious
and
cruell
death
,
and
that
most
deseruedly
,
yea
particular
and
priuate
mens
cases
,
their
lands
,
liuings
,
titles
,
pleas
,
and
wrongs
are
by
good
,
and
wholesome
lawes
redressed
,
yet
there
is
no
extant
and
positiue
Law
,
Statute
or
Ordinance
against
these
impea●hers
of
this
holy
faith
,
and
against
the
open
cursed
,
and
damnable
Blasphem●rs
,
de●ier●
,
and
defiers
of
the
eternall
God
.
Oh
England
,
this
is
a
worke
worth
the
best
intendments
,
consultations
,
and
determinations
both
of
thy
Princes
,
Peeres
,
and
people
that
such
hellish
roaring
Boyes
,
and
such
damned
crues
may
not
once
bee
named
within
the
territories
where
thy
renowned
king
is
stiled
the
defendor
of
the
faith
.
For
wee
see
that
of
such
as
make
profession
of
faith
,
the
Oracle
of
faith
telleth
vs
,
All
haue
not
faith
.
God
sent
Noah
in
the
worlds
infancie
to
preach
this
faith
of
the
Messias
,
Abraham
in
the
worlds
childhood
had
the
signe
of
the
couenant
of
this
faith
for
the
same
purpose
,
Dauid
in
the
worlds
youth
beleeued
,
and
defended
the
same
.
The
Prophets
in
the
worldes
middle
age
guided
the
beleeuers
vnto
it
,
Gods
owne
Sonne
in
his
first
comming
preached
it
to
the
worlds
old
age
,
his
Apostles
and
Preachers
,
to
this
our
age
,
the
worlds
dotage
,
and
all
these
found
vnbeleeuers
,
and
missebeleeuers
in
all
their
times
.
And
last
of
all
,
when
Christ
shall
come
againe
to
iudge
the
liuing
and
the
dead
:
Shall
he
finde
faith
on
the
earth
?
In
his
first
aduent
hee
had
not
(
as
he
himselfe
affirmeth
)
where
to
lay
his
head
,
but
when
he
commeth
againe
to
iudgement
,
hee
will
not
haue
where
to
set
his
foote
,
if
the
world
continue
as
it
hath
●one
along
time
,
eloyning
from
Christs
Church
,
and
●poyling
it
of
the
meanes
of
●he
Gospells
preaching
,
those
●acred
donations
&
endowments
which
the
faith
of
the
●ormer
and
better
ages
con●ecrated
,
as
the
lands
and
re●enewes
of
Iesus
Christ
the
Sonne
of
God
heere
on
earth
,
●or
the
perpetuating
of
his
ministerie
and
seruice
.
No
●eloued
these
are
the
dayes
of
●inne
,
and
wherein
sinne
a●oundeth
,
because
the
loue
of
God
in
the
world
waxeth
These
are
the
dayes
where
●n
such
a
faith
is
professed
by
●any
,
that
is
,
no
where
to
bee
●eene
by
good
workes
but
●ard
onely
in
some
certaine
●oodly
wordes
,
such
a
faith
●s
I
told
you
before
was
the
●ith
of
Lucius
learned
Par●ot
like
,
and
tunable
to
the
eare
,
hauing
no
semblance
,
or
qualitie
of
Gods
spirit
in
it
,
but
onely
this
,
that
not
working
by
loue
it
is
inuisible
.
Africa
was
accounted
in
auncient
time
the
mother
of
monstrous
shapes
,
but
Europe
,
Christian
Europe
is
become
the
grandmother
of
many
strange
wonderments
.
For
,
as
Saint
Augustine
sayth
,
Hee
that
beleeueth
not
now
,
seeing
the
world
beleeueth
,
is
aprodigious
,
and
portentous
amazement
to
himselfe
.
And
many
there
are
who
albeit
they
liue
in
the
profession
of
this
holy
beleefe
,
yet
they
profite
not
in
it
,
because
they
abuse
the
holy
meanes
thereof
,
neither
doe
they
practise
the
religious
manner
,
and
methode
of
attaining
vnto
it
.
For
first●
,
they
abuse
the
meanes
,
by
comming
●reuerently
and
irreligiously
●ot
as
beleeuers
to
heare
the
Word
of
this
faith
prea●hed
.
Elias
Gods
Prophet
when
●ee
comes
where
he
heareth
Ezechiel
hearing
GOD
speake
vnto
him
,
wanting
a
vayle
,
falles
with
his
face
to
Peter
seeing
Christ
comming
towards
him
,
cryeth
out
,
Depart
from
mee
for
I
am
a
sinnefull
man
,
as
acknowledging
he
was
not
worthy
to
breath
in
the
place
where
Christ
was
.
Abraham
,
when
hee
talkes
with
God
about
Sodome
,
sayth
thus
,
Let
not
my
Lord
bee
angrie
,
if
I
dust
,
and
ashes
speake
vnto
him
.
And
the
Syrophenician
comming
to
receiue
comfort
from
Christ
,
stands
behind
him
daring
not
to
speake
,
but
entendeth
onely
to
touch
,
not
his
body
,
nor
his
garment
,
but
euen
the
very
hemme
of
his
vesture
,
and
shee
receyued
a
comfortable
compellation
from
Christ
,
for
hee
owned
her
,
and
sayde
,
Daughter
,
bee
of
good
cheare
,
thy
beleefe
hath
saued
thee
.
For
the
more
vereeundious
and
modest
wee
are
in
this
our
hearing
of
God
,
and
in
our
comming
vnto
him
,
the
more
bright
and
beautiful
wee
are
in
his
sacred
sight
.
If
wee
would
thus
serue
the
Lord
in
feare
,
and
reioyce
be
fore
him
with
trembling
,
wee
should
not
goe
so
often
to
Church
,
and
so
often
return
againe
neuer
the
better
,
oft-times
the
worser
,
wee
should
not
so
often
heare
in
vain
,
nor
so
often
see
,
and
not
discerne
.
But
the
manner
is
now
with
many
to
come
,
as
sathan
did
(
for
company
or
custom
,
or
worse
)
came
also
when
the
sons
of
God
were
assembled
before
him
to
the
diuels
Chappell
,
according
to
our
English
Prouerbe
,
Where
God
hath
his
Church
,
the
Diuell
hath
his
Chappell
For
euen
in
the
great
assemblies
while
some
are
there
hearing
the
word
attentiuely
,
others
sleepe
profoundly
,
while
some
reade
,
others
prate
,
while
some
lift
vp
their
eyes
to
heauen
,
others
point
out
the
finger
to
note
some
vanity
in
the
next
pue
,
while
som
pray
,
othe●s
scoffe
,
while
some
sing
others
curse
,
while
some
sigh
for
their
sinnes
,
others
laugh
at
sinne
,
&
while
others
sit
hearkening
to
the
Sermon
vnto
the
end
,
others
make
hast
to
bee
gone
,
and
thinke
euery
houre
two
,
vntill
they
heare
the
Peace
of
God
,
which
they
will
scarce
vouchsafe
to
take
with
them
,
nor
the
Grace
of
GOD
neither
.
Cease
therefore
to
maruell
at
our
fruitlesse
hearing
the
Word
,
if
this
bee
our
demeanour
:
when
we
present
our selues
before
our
God
;
were
we
perswaded
of
God
,
as
wee
ought
,
(
and
surely
,
hee
that
will
come
to
God
,
must
beleeue
that
God
is
)
and
of
his
sonne
Christ
Iesus
,
of
whom
the
voyce
from
Heauen
(
and
not
from
men
)
was
this
,
Heare
him
;
wee
could
not
thus
abuse
our
time
,
But
those
that
thus
de●mean
themselues
,
the
Prophe●ie
of
Esay
is
fulfilled
,
which
God
in
his
iust
iudg●ment
●ringeth
vpon
them
for
their
neglect
of
him
in
making
their
hearts
fat
,
Their
eares
heauie
,
and
their
eyes
dimme
,
that
they
may
not
see
with
their
eies
,
It
was
otherwise
in
Saint
Iohn
the
Diuine
,
Hagar
Abrahams
bondmaide
did
)
by
the
fountaines
of
waters
,
and
doe
not
see
them
,
&
are
ready
to
perish
for
foode
,
and
yet
doe
not
see
the
heauenly
Manna
that
is
reached
out
vnto
them
.
And
as
they
thus
abuse
the
holy
meanes
of
their
beleeuing
▪
so
also
they
vse
not
the
heauenly
and
orderly
proceeding
in
the
practise
of
their
beleefe
.
For
a
true
Beleeuer
at
his
very
first
awaking
in
bedde
,
is
present
with
God
in
his
thoughts
,
words
and
meditations
,
as
Dauid
speaketh
:
and
after
hee
is
vp
,
hee
taketh
vnto
him
blessed
wordes
as
●head
directeth
eyther
publike●y
or
priuately
,
And
if
a
true
beleeuer
happen
into
any
company
,
he
sits
oft
times
still
,
and
retired
to
himselfe
,
watching
and
waiting
oportunity
when
hee
may
speake
words
,
that
may
minister
grace
vnto
the
hearers
.
And
if
a
true
Beleeuer
haue
any
leysure
(
not
that
hee
will
bee
at
any
time
idle
)
he
sayth
to
himselfe
,
Now
will
I
retire
myselfe
into
my
closet
,
and
there
will
I
powre
out
my
heart
vnto
my
God
.
If
a
true
beleeuer
prosper
in
the
worke
of
his
handes
,
he
is
thankefull
,
and
not
proude
.
If
hee
suffer
aduersity
,
hee
makes
his
patience
knowne
vnto
all
men
,
without
murmuring
or
repining
,
assuring
himselfe
that
it
proceedeth
not
of
Gods
hatred
,
but
of
his
singular
loue
t●ward
him
that
hee
is
afflicted
,
for
God
delighteth
not
in
the
misery
of
his
Creatures
,
for
if
hee
did
,
hee
would
neuer
haue
made
man
a
Paradise
to
liue
in
,
euen
in
his
innocency
,
but
God
knoweth
in
his
wisedome
,
that
by
afflictions
his
dearest
children
are
weaned
from
the
loue
of
the
World
,
and
take
liking
of
the
other
world
.
And
thus
hauing
past
the
day
,
recalling
to
mind
Gods
great
mercies
,
recounting
his
owne
many
and
manifold
infirmities
and
imperfections
,
magnifieth
Gods
fauours
in
all
,
craueth
pardon
for
his
great
vnthankefulnesse
,
and
so
reposing
himselfe
in
bedde
in
his
Sepulchre
,
hauing
now
made
,
as
it
were
,
his
last
will
to
God
,
acknowledging
himselfe
a
stranger
,
and
Pilgrime
here
,
as
all
his
Fathers
were
,
and
beleeuing
that
the
time
will
come
,
that
as
he
is
awaked
,
and
riseth
from
bedde
in
the
morning
:
so
shall
he
bee
raysed
from
his
graue
,
and
sleepe
of
death
,
to
liue
with
GOD
in
Christeternally
.
But
the
vnbeleeuers
and
fruitles
professors
in
their
carriage
,
are
quite
contrary
.
For
their
awaking
is
to
euill
,
and
that
is
euer
present
with
them
.
Their
morning
Mattens
is
cursing
and
swearing
,
and
that
shall
distill
one
day
into
their
bowels
as
water
,
&
like

Their

If

the

And

This

Deare

It

that

For

O

Looke

Suite

So
shall

so

as
did
Moses

powers
of
darkenesse
,
and
the
gates
of

,
as
the
walles
of
Iericho
shall
fall

I

as

So

and

O
Lord
,
thou
art
not

to
quench
smoaking
flaxe
,
nor

breake

nor

O
looke
vpon

with
one
glimpse
of
thy

,
and
enflame
mine
heart
with
zeale
,
that
feeles
it selfe

Alter

Oh
saue
me
for
thy
pitty
sake
,
and
take
mee
ou●
of
the
multitude
of
vnbeleeuers
,
that
I
may
seeke

and
serue
thee
for

Distill
thy
heauenly
dewe
into
my
bowels
,
Let
it
runne
like
oyle
into
my
bones
.
Let
it
bee
as
a
fruitful

and
effectuall
plantation
in
mine
hart
,
that
I
may
not
be
one
of
the
number
of
those
,
that
say
they
haue
faith
,
and
professe
it
also
,
but
without
fruite
,
but
of
those
who
with
neuer
altering
resolutions
,
treade
the
trace
of
that
sacred
faith
that
worketh
by
loue
,
ouercommeth
the
world
,
holdeth
alwayes
the
sacred
truth

and
leadeth
into
the
wayes
of
eternall
ioy
,
and
happi●nesse
,
by
thy
effectuall
and

grace
.
Grant
this

thy
blessed

Amen

GOD
RECEIVED
vp
in
Glory
.
Explication
,
THis
Mystery
of
Mankind
(
you
see
)
hath
now
led
vs
from
Gods
humiliation
in
the
flesh
,
God
was
receyued
vp
in
Glory
.
That
is
,
Christ
Iesus
,
God
and
man
,
in
our
nature
is
ascended
vp
into
heauen
,
to
take
possession
in
our
nature
of
that
glory
,
which
hee
had
in
himselfe
from
all
eternity
,
but
hath
purchased
it
for
vs
his
redeemed
Church
,
with
his
most
precious
bloud
For
it
was
necessary
that
Christ
●hould
suffer
,
and
so
enter
into
●lory
.
Not
that
this
was
of
●bsolute
necessity
that
he
must
needs
suffer
.
For
in
respect
of
himselfe
this
glory
was
his
●rom
euerlasting
,
but
was
necessary
,
he
should
enter
into
●
by
suffering
,
onely
in
re●pect
of
vs
;
that
the
humilia●ion
of
the
Sonne
of
God
becomming
Man
might
be
the
●ause
of
the
exaltation
of
the
●ature
of
Man
.
For
when
he
●ersonally
assumed
the
na●ure
of
Man
,
and
became
Man
,
Man
became
God
●lmightie
,
hauing
all
pow●r
,
and
a
name
aboue
all
●ames
,
that
the
abasing
of
●e
diuine
Maiestie
and
per●on
of
the
Sonne
of
God
●ight
bee
the
high
aduan●●ng
,
and
exaltation
of
the
●●rme
of
a
seruant
.
For
when
God
began
to
be
Man
,
and
Man
began
to
be
God
,
God
began
to
be
a
Man
in
subiection
and
humilitie
,
and
man
to
be
God
in
the
height
of
perfection
.
For
if
God
were
humbled
as
much
as
hee
might
be
in
that
he
became
Man
,
was
not
Man
exalted
as
much
as
hee
might
be
,
in
that
he
became
God
?
Herein
vndoubtedly
appeared
the
wisdome
,
and
power
of
our
God
that
his
Sonne
in
obedience
to
the
Father
beeing
abazed
to
the
lowest
degree
of
humiliation
for
vs
,
should
by
his
owne
power
(
and
not
as
Enoch
and
Elias
were
by
anothers
power
)
be
exalted
to
the
supreme
height
of
exaltation
in
the
sight
of
all
the
world
both
of
men
and
Angels
.
Therefore
we
beleeue
that
hee
which
Ascended
is
the
same
that
Descended
first
into
●o
the
lowest
parts
of
the
●arth
.
Descended
,
when
his
●ody
was
layde
in
the
graue
;
Descended
,
when
his
soule
separated
from
the
body
went
●o
the
place
where
the
soules
departed
were
;
Descended
when
his
Deitie
exhibited
●t
selfe
into
the
lowest
pit
to
●he
terror
of
the
diuels
,
and
●urther
despayre
of
the
dam●ed
:
Descended
,
when
the
power
of
his
passion
did
ex●end
it selfe
euen
to
those
ex●reme
parts
:
Descended
when
●e
suffered
those
extreme
anguishes
and
torments
which
for
our
sakes
by
his
Fathers
will
he
was
willing
to
endure
.
Descended
when
he
deliuered
those
that
deceased
before
his
resurrection
,
and
brought
them
by
the
power
of
his
sufferings
into
the
place
where
they
now
are
.
And
he
that
thus
Descended
,
is
the
same
that
Ascended
farre
aboue
all
heauens
to
fulfill
all
things
.
Euen
hee
our
Lord
Christ
,
that
in
our
nature
was
accompted
but
a
most
despicable
man
,
yea
a
worme
,
and
no
man
,
that
vndertooke
our
sinnes
the
cause
of
his
suffrings
,
that
endured
a
cursed
death
,
the
punishment
due
for
our
transgressions
,
euen
he
that
in
the
entrance
of
this
bottomlesse
sorrow
had
his
soule
heauy
vnto
the
death
,
and
made
strong
cries
,
and
teares
to
bee
deliuered
,
and
in
the
progresse
thereof
,
had
clods
of
bloud
breaking
from
him
,
and
when
he
was
deepest
in
,
vttered
that
dreadfull
clamor
expressing
a
most
horrible
passion
,
My
God
my
God
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
?
Euen
hee
(
I
say
)
now
t●●umphes
ouer
all
the
powers
of
hel
,
and
the
heauens
stoope
downe
,
and
receiue
him
vp
in
glory
.
And
this
the
power
and
mighty
hand
of
our
God
hath
wrought
for
vs
to
the
glory
of
his
great
name
,
which
be
praysed
and
blessed
for
euer
.
By
God
wee
vnderstand
●he
hypostaticall
vnion
of
the
diuine
,
and
humane
natures
●n
the
person
of
Christ
Iesus
.
By
Receiued
vp
,
wee
conceiue
not
a
momentany
but
by
degrees
of
time
a
locall
motion
ascending
from
an
inferiour
place
to
an
higher
,
and
by
Glory
,
is
meant
that
hee
was
exalted
aboue
these
visible
heauens
,
and
receiued
throgh
the
spheares
,
the
cataracts
of
heauen
opening
vnto
him
,
euen
that
hee
might
sit
at
the
right
hand
of
God
in
great
Maiesty
and
highest
glory
for
euermore
in
the
heauens
of
the
blessed
.
The
circumstances
of
this
article
of
our
Christian
faith
,
is
most
euidently
in
all
the
particulars
set
down
in
holy
w●it
.
The
place
where
he
was
receiued
vp
,
was
mount
Oliuet
neere
to
Ierusalem
,
the
cittie
where
he
was
so
abased
,
euen
there
(
there
I
say
)
was
hee
taken
vp
into
the
glory
of
the
father
in
the
sight
of
his
cursed
enemies
.
The
manner
of
his
ascent
was
,
His
passage
naturall
without
either
change
or
diffusion
of
his
natures
.
His
Session
also
actuall
.
For
according
to
his
true
naturall
being
,
hee
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
and
according
to
his
personall
being
he
is
euery
where
.
The
time
of
his
ascent
was
●ortie
dayes
after
his
resurre●tion
from
the
graue
.
For
so
●ong
was
he
conuersing
with
●is
people
after
his
passion
,
●hat
they
might
bee
the
more
●scertayned
of
the
truth
of
his
●rising
from
the
dead
,
and
●ight
be
informed
,
and
confirmed
the
more
in
his
doctrines
,
both
of
grace
,
and
glory
.
Sixescore
witnesses
were
present
at
the
place
in
whose
●ight
he
was
receiued
vp
.
Two
Angels
from
heauen
spake
vnto
them
that
were
present
,
and
preached
his
returne
to
iudgement
.
The
words
were
specified
which
●e
,
and
the
Angels
vttered
at
●is
departure
.
The
sequell
●hereof
related
at
large
,
to
wit
,
whither
,
the
multitude
went
which
saw
him
ascend
,
and
●nd
what
they
did
,
and
many
●ther
things
which
followed
●re
as
a
cloude
of
witnesses
to
the
confirmation
hereof
For
as
the
truth
of
his
ascension
is
irrefragable
,
so
the
effects
thereof
are
vnutterable
.
For
first
,
by
his
ascention
he
hath
opened
heauen
vnto
vs
,
that
was
shut
against
vs
,
Made
vs
sit
together
with
him
in
heauenly
places
.
Secondly
,
hee
hath
taken
possession
of
heauen
for
vs
in
our
nature
,
I
goe
to
prepare
a
place
for
you
,
and
I
will
come
againe
,
and
take
you
vnto
me
.
Thirdly
,
hee
hereby
accomplisheth
our
Christian
comfort
in
triumphing
ouer
Hell
,
all
the
powers
of
darke●●nesse
hauing
led
Captiuitie
captiue
,
and
giuen
gifts
vnto
men
,
by
sending
downe
his
holy
spirite
the
informer
and
●omforter
of
his
cho●●
.
And
lastly
,
his
Receiuing
●
hath
filled
all
things
(
as
the
●postle
speaketh
)
the
earth
●ith
his
mercie
,
hell
with
his
●stice
,
heauen
with
the
ma●festation
of
his
glory
euen
the
blessed
Angels
.
And
now
there
hee
is
●●r
aduocate
with
the
Fa●●er
,
our
intercessor
in
all
●●r
necessities
,
our
master
of
●quests
in
all
our
suits
,
there
●●e
turneth
away
the
eyes
of
●●d
the
Father
from
our
●nes
,
to
looke
vpon
his
●●edience
,
and
meritori●s
righteousnesse
,
and
day●●
prepareth
a
way
for
vs
●
to
the
throne
of
grace
.
For
these
causes
hee
is
●scended
into
the
height
〈◊〉
that
Maiestie
where
●●d
vouchsafeth
to
display
his
glory
to
the
view
of
men
,
and
Angels
in
the
face
of
Iesus
Christ
.
The
perfect
knowledge
of
the
superexcellency
of
which
place
of
happines
we
can
in
no
wayes
attain
vnto
in
this
life
,
but
in
possessing
it
in
the
other
world
we
shall
fully
enioy
it
.
In
the
meane
while
our
holy
faith
is
confirmed
hereby
,
which
for
the
corporall
presence
of
Christ
,
embraceth
the
spirituall
,
that
we
may
not
be
troubled
with
doubtings
,
and
say
in
our
hearts
,
Who
shall
ascend
for
vs
into
heauen
?
MAnifold
is
the
vse
of
this
his
glorious
exaltation
.
Let
vs
then
stand
as
it
were
vpon
the
poynt
of
the
promontorie
of
Nebo
,
and
looke
into
the
holy
land
,
and
revew
the
lowest
step
in
this
Iacobs
ladder
which
is
Christs
exinanition
in
the
flesh
:
and
see
how
the
power
of
God
hath
made
it
knowne
vnto
A●gels
,
by
celestiall
vision
,
and
vnto
men
by
degrees
of
holy
Christian
faith
,
vntill
it
hath
brought
vs
vp
vnto
the
supereminent
glory
.
Goe
(
I
say
)
from
his
humanitie
in
the
flesh
to
his
diuinitie
,
a
glimpse
whereof
was
seene
in
his
transfiguration
on
the
mount
,
from
his
passion
on
the
crosse
in
his
humiliation
,
to
his
power
in
his
resurrection
,
from
his
minoritie
in
respect
of
his
Father
,
to
their
qualitie
in
the
height
of
glory
.
Not
that
the
deitie
in
his
ascent
could
bee
exalted
,
but
that
our
nature
in
the
person
of
the
Sonne
of
God
was
first
raysed
vp
from
the
dead
,
and
then
receiued
vp
in
to
euerlasting
glory
.
When
therefore
we
reade
that
Christ
was
receyued
vp
by
a
cloude
,
wee
vnderstand
the
cloudes
of
obsequiousnesse
,
not
any
helpe
it
afforded
him
(
as
the
fierie
chariot
did
Elias
)
wee
conceaue
the
clouds
seruice
,
not
any
ayde
it
yeelded
,
the
cloudes
ministery
not
any
assistance
that
it
occasioned
.
For
the
matter
or
subiect
that
ascended
,
is
●properly
the
humane
nature
of
Christ
,
for
the
deitie
is
neither
contayned
in
place
,
nor
subiect
to
motion
.
So
the
auncient
Fathers
spake
,
The
Sonne
of
God
had
of
ours
whereby
hee
hanged
on
the
crosse
,
and
of
his
owne
,
whereby
he
ascended
into
heauen
.
For
the
humane
nature
ascended
,
and
the
ascent
was
wrought
through
the
power
of
the
diuine
nature
.
And
this
is
the
cause
that
Tertullian
calleth
Iesus
the
sequestrator
of
God
and
man
,
for
of
either
party
he
had
,
that
was
committed
vnto
him
,
and
he
keepeth
the
pledge
of
the
flesh
in
himselfe
the
earnest
of
all
mankinde
.
For
as
he
hath
left
vnto
vs
the
earnest
of
the
spirit
,
so
he
hath
taken
from
vs
the
earnest
of
the
flesh
,
&
carryed
it
into
heauen
as
a
pledge
of
the
whole
family
which
hereafter
shall
bee
brought
thither
also
.
Thus
is
Christ
our
treasure
in
heauen
,
and
assuredly
where
our
treasure
is
,
there
will
our
hearts
be
also
.
If
Christ
bee
our
treasur●
let
vs
follow
him
in
heart
,
where
hee
is
in
body
,
let
vs
follow
him
with
paces
of
loue
,
because
his
returne
in
the
iudgement
day
will
bee
terrible
.
The
hand
writing
that
was
against
vs
is
now
cancelled
,
Earth
thou
art
,
and
to
earth
thou
shalt
returne
.
But
the
blessing
is
purchased
,
This
day
shalt
thou
be
with
me
in
Paradise
.
Christ
therefore
in
this
life
by
his
grace
doth
ascend
vnto
our
hearts
,
when
the
feare
of
the
Lord
of
hoasts
receiueth
therein
plantation
,
hee
descendeth
into
our
hearts
when
wee
take
his
counsels
to
heart
,
hee
issueth
from
our
hearts
when
wee
runne
after
him
in
our
affections
in
the
sweete
perfume
of
his
pretious
oyntements
feeling
our
owne
defects
,
and
againe
,
he
ascendeth
aboue
our
hearts
,
when
by
the
eyes
of
holy
fayth
wee
see
as
with
an
Eagles
eye
the
prey
a
farre
of
(
as
Stephen
Let
the
sanctified
soule
come
hither
,
and
see
it selfe
in
heauen
three
manner
of
wayes
whiles
it
is
on
earth
.
First
,
in
conuersation
,
for
,
Our
conuersation
is
in
heauen
,
saith
the
Apostle
.
Secondly
,
in
our
affe●ctions
.
For
they
that
abide
in
charitie
,
abide
in
God
.
Thirdly
,
by
right
of
possession
.
For
Christ
is
ascended
to
prepare
vs
a
place
.
Let
the
oppressed
,
and
distressed
soule
come
hither
,
and
looke
vp
,
Seeing
wee
haue
an
high
Priest
which
is
passed
into
the
heauens
,
Iesus
the
Sonne
of
God
,
let
vs
hold
faste
our
profession
.
For
wee
haue
not
an
high
Priest
that
cannot
bee
touched
with
our
infirmities
,
but
was
in
all
partes
tempted
like
as
wee
are
,
without
sinne
.
And
albeit
▪
wee
reade
that
Moses
,
and
Samuel
,
Noah
,
Daniel
,
and
Iob
those
holy
men
were
not
powerfull
to
preuayle
with
God
in
some
cases
for
others
,
yet
no
where
can
it
bee
found
that
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
had
euer
the
repulse
for
his
chosen
.
For
hee
is
the
Sonne
,
in
●hom
the
Father
is
well
●leased
.
Let
the
curious
questioner
come
hither
,
and
if
hee
aske
,
I
answer
,
that
hee
who
Was
before
Abraham
,
His
departure
hence
into
heauen
beeing
for
our
exceeding
great
Comfort
,
and
benefite
.
For
where
should
an
aduocate
bee
,
but
before
the
Iudge
pleading
his
Clyents
cause
?
where
should
a
Captaine
bee
,
but
fighting
with
the
enemies
without
the
Citie
.
And
the
father
of
a
great
family
doth
not
alwayes
reside
at
home
,
but
trauelleth
into
a
farre
country
about
his
affayres
,
to
prouide
for
his
houshold
.
So
Christ
himselfe
testifies
,
That
vnlesse
he
depart
the
Comforter
should
not
come
.
Not
vnlike
the
glorious
sunne
of
the
firmament
,
which
when
it
is
furthest
from
vs
in
locall
distance
,
it
is
neerest
vnto
vs
in
power
,
and
effect
,
as
appeareth
in
the
Summer
season
.
For
then
the
beames
of
the
Sunne
are
more
p●ercing
,
albeit
it
bee
further
of
,
because
then
they
are
direct
,
and
perpendicular
,
which
in
the
Winter
though
the
body
of
the
Sunne
bee
neerer
,
yet
the
rayes
thereof
are
oblique
and
aside
:
Semblably
the
bodyly
presence
of
Christ
on
earth
wrought
not
so
effectually
in
his
Apostles
,
and
other
the
faithfull
,
as
his
holy
spirit
did
after
his
departure
,
which
hee
powred
out
on
them
in
great
measure
,
as
hee
promised
,
for
then
were
their
hearts
throughly
resolued
,
their
willes
fully
purposed
,
and
their
zeales
feruently
onflamed
.
Yea
let
the
most
Seraphicall
and
most
Cherubicall
soules
that
liue
,
come
hither
,
and
see
what
the
Angels
of
heauen
admire
at
,
who
beholding
Christ
Iesus
ascending
with
this
glorious
conquest
of
his
redeemed
church
say
but
by
way
of
admiration
.
Who
is
shee
that
looketh
foorth
as
the
Morning
,
Nay
blessed
soules
to
which
of
the
Angels
sayde
God
at
any
time
,
as
hee
doth
to
our
Lord
Christ
Emanuell
:
thou
art
my
sonne
:
And
againe
,
I
will
bee
thy
Father
and
thou
shalt
bee
my
Sonne
:
yea
,
the
Angels
are
commanded
to
adore
him
,
and
the
son
is
bid
to
sit
down
at
the
right
hand
of
the
Father
in
the
glory
of
heauen
.
Lastly
,
l●t
the
simple
and
honest
soule
come
hither
,
and
learne
not
to
seeke
Christ
on
earth
in
a
Wafer
Cake
(
as
the
Popelings
doe
)
but
as
the
Apostle
counselleth
in
heauen
,
saying
:
If
you
bee
risen
with
Christ
seeke
those
things
that
are
aboue
where
Christ
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
Heauen
is
now
opened
,
enter
thou
into
the
holy
of
holyest
:
for
thou
art
,
O
my
soule
,
past
the
vtter
and
inner
Court
.
Thy
Mediator
is
in
heauen
,
pray
thou
here
in
earth
,
that
hee
may
heare
in
heauen
,
and
speake
for
thee
.
Our
●
flesh
is
in
heauen
in
the
person
of
Christ
,
whereby
wee
see
that
the
glory
wee
haue
won
by
Christ
,
is
greater
then
the
disgrace
and
curse
,
that
the
malice
of
the
diuell
,
brought
vpon
vs
by
Adam
.
The
diuels
malice●
,
and
our
sinne
cast
vs
out
of
Paradice
,
but
Christs
loue
and
sufferings
for
sinne
,
makes
vs
sit
in
heauenly
places
with
him
.
In
a
word
,
our
triumph
is
in
heauen
,
who
would
not
fight
the
battaile
manfully
against
the
flesh
,
the
world
,
and
the
diuell
,
being
assured
by
the
captaine
of
the
victorie
.
Wee
may
also
hence
perceiue
how
God
tenderly
,
And
how
was
that
?
euen
as
the
Eagle
,
sayth
hee
doth
with
her
young
.
The
Eagle
couereth
her
young
with
her
winges
,
so
God
doth
with
the
winges
of
his
safe
protection
.
She
sometimes
perceiuing
her
young
ones
dull
,
and
drooping
,
gently
peckes
them
with
her
becke
,
to
stirre
them
vppe
,
so
God
by
afflictions
doth
quicken
his
children
,
yea
sometimes
the
Eagle
taketh
away
her
young
ones
meate
and
flyeth
vp
into
the
ayre
,
to
entice
and
prouoke
them
to
practise
,
and
endeuour
to
soare
on
high-euen
so
God
the
Father
hath
receiued
vp
Christ
Iesus
our
heauenly
Manna
into
glory
,
that
wee
should
learne
to
aspyre
and
soare
vpwards
,
that
where
,
hee
is
,
there
wee
might
bee
also
.
And
to
this
ende
the
two
Angells
tolde
vs
at
his
receiuing
vppe
into
this
glory
,
that
hee
should
in
the
same
manner
descend
to
iudgement
in
the
ende
of
the
world
,
which
wee
exp●ct
with
patience
,
nay
long
,
and
looke
for
,
and
crye
in
our
hearts
,
Com●
Lord
Iesus
,
Come
quickly
,
and
wee
doe
nothing
more
seriously
,
while
wee
are
on
earth
.
but
call
to
minde
in
holy
meditations
the
Lords
death
,
and
shew
it
to
the
eyes
of
our
faith
vntill
his
comming
againe
,
in
partaking
of
his
blessed
body
&
bloud
in
the
Sacrament
;
that
by
the
power
thereof
wee
may
bee
established
,
that
we
turne
not
this
great
grace
into
wantonnesse
,
nor
neglect
our
Lord
Iesus
,
who
is
thus
exalted
into
the
highest
glory
.
not
for
himselfe
,
(
for
he
had
that
glorie
before
the
world
was
)
but
for
vs
his
redeemed
people
:
so
that
now
here
is
the
exaltation
and
supereminent
height
of
faith
,
euen
euerlasting
life
.
The
Being
whereof
is

To

Christ
Iesus
is

to
beholde
his
Maiesty

and

in
the

to
be
found
:
For
God
hath
spoke
it
,
Come
,
and
I
will
shew
thee
all
good
.
O
wretched
sonnes
of
men
,
whose
teeth
are
sette
on
edge
,
with
the
crudities
of
this
world
,
that
they
cannot
taste
of
the
delicacies
of
that
other
world
.
For
the
Fathers
haue
eaten
sowre
grapes
,
and
the
childrens
teeth
are
set
on
edge
,
as
Ezechiel
speaketh
.
The
best
of
Gods
people
that
euer
were
in
the
world
,
could
expresse
the
glory
of
this
place
,
but
by
Negatiues
,
albeit
they
had
an
extraordinary
inspection
into
it
.
Aske
the
Prophet
Esaias
,
and
Saint
Peter
the
Apostle
,
they
will
tell
you
,
That
the
things
which
eye
hath
not
seene
,
neyther
hath
eare
heard
,
neyther
came
it
into
mans
heart
,
are
which
God
hath
prepared
for
them
that
loue
him
.
And
Saint
Augustine
sayeth
,
That
the
things
which
God
hath
prepared
for
them
that
loue
him
.
Our
faith
cannot
conceyue
,
our
hope
cannot
comprehend
,
our
charitie
cannot
apprehend
:
for
it
surpasseth
our
thoughts
,
our
vnderstanding
our
desires
.
Let
this
bee
our
comfort
,
that
this
glory
may
be
obtayned
:
expressed
,
or
conceyued
,
it
cannot
be
.
Augustine
sayeth
,
that
he
can
tell
sooner
,
what
is
not
there
,
then
what
is
there
.
When
the
Queene
of
Sheba
came
to
Solomons
Court
and
heard
his
wisedome
,
saw
the
house
which
hee
had
built
,
obserued
his
dyet
,
viewed
the
dwellings
of
his
seruants
,
noted
what
seruants
robes
,
&
the
manner
of
their
service
,
and
recounted
the
whole
burnt
offerings
which
were
offered
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
euerie
day
.
The
text
sayth
,
that
shee
stood
amazed
,
and
there
was
no
Spirit
in
her
,
and
when
shee
came
to
her selfe
,
shee
vttered
these
words
.
It
is
true
that
I
heard
in
mine
owne
land
of
thee
,
O
King
,
howbeit
I
beleeued
not
the
report
vntill
now
I
see
it
,
but
the
one
half
was
not
told
me
,
for
thou
hast
more
wisedome
and
prosperitie
then
I
heard
by
report
.
Right
so
,
O
my
soule
,
shalt
thou
say
,
when
thou
commest
into
this
heauenlie
Court
,
and
beholdest
and
knowest
God
,
as
he
is
known
and
seest
the
new
Hierusalem
,
the
Feast
of
the
Lambe
,
the
Mansions
prouided
,
the
milke
white
roabes
of
the
Saintes
,
their
attendants
vpon
God
,
and
the
continuall
Alleluiah
sung
by
the
quire
of
Heauen
,
thou
wilt
say
:
O
it
was
not
the
least
particle
of
this
glorie
,
that
wee
heard
of
beneath
,
when
we
were
in
the
earth
,
for
this
glorie
farre
surp●sseth
all
that
euer
wee
heard
or
could
imagine
,
neyther
indeed
could
wee
beleeue
the
same
,
but
now
O
King
of
Heauen
assuredly
they
are
fully
blessed
that
alwaies
stand
before
thee
and
behold
this
thy
Maiesty
,
and
surpassing
glory
.
Hence
was
it
,
that
Holy
men
of
God
oft
sighed
,
and
earnestly
desired
when
they
meditated
of
this
glory
to
be
with
Christ
.
I
desire
to
bee
dissolued
,
and
to
bee
with
Christ
,
sayeth
Paul
.
Aye
mee
that
I
am
constrayned
to
dwell
with
Mesech
,
When
shall
I
come
and
appeare
before
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
And
to
this
purpose
God
sendeth
his
dearest
children
bitter
pilles
of
affliction
oft-times
in
this
life
,
to
weane
them
from
the
pleasures
of
this
world
.
The
world
troubleth
mee
,
saith
S.
Augustine
,
and
yet
I
loue
it
,
what
would
I
doe
,
if
it
did
not
afflict
me
?
Surely
it
would
befoole
vs
,
as
it
doth
too
many
,
who
rather
then
they
would
forsake
any
part
or
parcell
of
the
World
,
they
will
desperately
and
diuelishly
forsake
their
God
,
and
the
glory
of
heauen
,
and
in
their
hearts
wish
God
to
keepe
it
for
him selfe
,
and
let
them
enioy
their
pleasures
and
pastimes
in
this
present
life
.
O
blinde
and
barbarous
folly
of
the
sonnes
of
Adam
,
who
hath
bewitched
you
?
Would
you
see
the
inuisible
things
of
God
?
They
are
seene
sayth
Paul
,
by
the
visible
God
,
being
considered
in
his
workes
.
Christ
is
receyued
vp
in
glory
,
Say
vnto
thy selfe
,
when
thou
viewest
the
world
,
and
the
glory
thereof
both
in
the
frame
of
Heauen
,
and
in
the
fabrique
of
the
earth
.
If
O
Lord
,
thou
grantest
vnto
vs
such
goodlie
thinges
in
this
our
prison
:
what
hast
thou
prepared
for
vs
in
thy
pallace
of
Heauen
.
If
here
thou
affoordest
so
liberally
thy
blessings
,
both
to
friendes
and
foes
,
what
hast
thou
prouided
in
heauen
for
friendes
onely
?
When
thou
beholdest
the
surpassing
beauty
of
the
heauens
,
say
,
O
my
soules
,
How
delectable
are
thy
dwellings
,
O
Lord
of
Hosts
,
my
Spirite
fainteth
for
desire
to
dwell
in
the
Courts
of
thy
house
for
euermore
.
For
all
Nations
are
before
thee
,
as
nothing
,
and
they
are
accounted
lesse
then
nothing
and
vanity
.
When
wee
consider
again
that
there
are
three
principall
places
in
this
vniuerse
,
to
witte
,
Hell
,
the
World
,
and
Heauen
.
The
first
vnder
the
earth
,
the
second
aboue
the
earth
,
the
third
aboue
the
visible
heauens
.
The
first
a
place
of
darkenesse
,
the
second
a
place
mixt
both
with
light
&
darknesse
,
the
third
is
altogether
.
light
.
The
1.
a
dungeon
of
despayre
,
the
second
a
vale
of
teares
,
the
third
a
Paradise
of
incomparable
delights
,
and
delicacies
,
whose
heart
desireth
not
after
those
water-brookes
?
whose
soule
seeketh
not
after
those
ioyes
of
Heauen
,
where
is
the
fulnesse
of
ioy
?
and
happinesse
for
euermore
.
For
there
is
health
without
sicknesse
,
youth
without
age
,
fulnesse
without
famine
,
plenty
without
penury
,
g●ory
without
infamy
,
peace
without
warre
,
and
in
a
word
all
good
without
euill
.
Now
therefore
O
yee
sonnes
of
men
,
Marke
Sayth
Saint
Augustine
,
Heauen
is
to
bee
solde
,
and
God
requires
no
other
price
for
thee
to
buy
it
,
but
thy selfe
,
it
is
worth
so
much
as
thou
art
,
giue
God
thy selfe
,
and
thou
shalt
haue
it
.
But
obserue
,
thou
must
not
present
thy selfe
to
God
in
this
exchange
a
worldling
,
a
sinner
,
a
cast-away
,
but
thou
must
become
iust
,
good
,
holy
,
and
worthy
of
the
same
,
not
of
thy selfe
,
but
beeing
iustified
,
sanctified
,
and
bettered
by
the
holy
faith
,
and
Spirit
of
thy
God
in
Christ
Iesus
,
in
whom
wee
all
are
accounted
worthy
,
so
shalt
thou
by
his
merites
obtaine
a
Kingdom
,
where
the
fire
dooth
not
burne
,
nor
the
ayre
infect
,
nor
the
water
drowne
,
no●
the
earth
tremble
vnder
thee
,
where
there
is
no
commet
to
presage
thee
euill
,
no
thunder
to
terrifie
thee
,
no
lightning
to
daunt
thee
,
no
thunderbolt
to
consume
thee
no
tempest
to
affright
thee
,
no
colde
●o
molest
thee
,
no
heate
to
offend
,
no
plague
to
kill
thee
,
no
calamity
to
afflict
thee
.
O
Christian
soules
endeauour
to
ascend
to
your
Christ
Iesus
,
vnto
,
and
into
this
glorie
,
and
bee
not
discouraged
eyther
with
the
long
distance
from
you
,
or
with
the
maruellous
height
aboue
you
.
For
with
as
much
faci●itie
as
the
Diuels
,
were
de●ected
from
Heauen
in
Gods
●ispleasure
you
shall
be
lifted

to
Heauen
by
the
fauour
of
Christ
.
The
hand
of
the
Lorde
of
Hostes
that
cast

out
●nto
the
bottomlesse
pitte
,
●hall
bee
stretched
foorth
to

you
vp
into

that
in

,
Oh
how
amiable
are
our
goings
towardes
the
Lorde
of
Hostes
Sanctuarie
?
in
the
progresse
of
diuine
vertues
.
Humility
doth
lift
vs
vp
aboue
the

.
Pouertie
in

aboue

Contrition

Good

:
Faith

Righteousnesse
aduanceth

the

Planets

aboue
the

Heauens
,
Purity
of

,
dooth
bring
vs
vp
to
the
sight
of
God
,
and
vnto
the
glory
of
the
blessed
,
For
three
places
God
hath
appointed
h●●
Children
to
liue
in
,
the
Wombe
,
this
Earth
,
the
Heauens
.
In
the
wombe
,
in
a
narrow
place
,
for
a
short
time
,
some
nine
monethes
.
In
the
earth
a
place
of
greater
extent
,
and
a
longer
season
,
some
seauentie
yeares
.
And
lastly
,
in
Heauen
a
place
of
extent
,
without
limit
,
and
for
terme
without
time
,
euen
for
euer
and
euer
.
And
as
the
second
place
farre
exceedeth
the
first
,
both
in
largenesse
of
Extent
,
and
in
continuance
of
time
,
so
the
third
place
of
our
most
happie
being
,
incomparably
surpasseth
the
second
in
both
;
for
it
is
without
limmit
of
locall
scite
,
and
without
all
determination
of
time
for
length
of
dayes
.
O
Christ
come
vnto
vs
,
and
into
vs
with
these
thy
graces
,
that
wee
may
come
to
thee
,
and
into
that
glory
where
thou
ru●est
,
and
raignest
with
God
the
Father
,
and
the
Holy
spirite
for
euermore
.
O
Lord
lift
vp
mine
heart
vnto
the●
,
O
Eternall
God
,
and
most
mercifull
Father
in
Christ
Iesus
,
Thou
hast
taken
vp
from
vs
our
Lord
Iesus
,
and
hast
set
him
at
thy
right
hand
in
Maie●ty
and
great
glorie
.
O
when
shall
wee
come
,
●nd
behold
the
beautie
of
thine
●ouse
,
and
the
blessednesse
of
thy
Saintes
.
L●sten
Lord
vnto
our
sup●lications
,
and
for
our
Aduocates
●ake
that
pleades
our
cause
be●ore
thee
in
heauen
,
Let
vs
be
dissolued
,
that
we
●ay
bee
with
thee
,
and
with
our
beloved
Iesus
,
Who
for
vs
men
●●me
downe
from
Heauen
,
and
●as
humbled
to
de●th
,
that
wee
might
liue
with
thee
for
euer
.
Behold
,
O
Lord
God
,
how
wee
runne
after
him
in
the
sweet
sauour
of
his
diuine
perfumes
.
When
hee
liued
here
with
vs
on
earth
,
he
disdayned
not
Mat●e●
a
publican
,
hee
abandoned
not
Peter
a
denyer
of
him
,
nor
cast
away
Paule
a
per●ecutor
,
nor
despised
Marie
Magdalen
a
courtezan
,
nor
refused
to
hear
a
Cananaatish
woman
,
the
blinde
,
the
lame
,
the
dumbe
,
the
deafe
,
yea
the
possessed
with
diuels
hee
had
compassion
vpon
.
Therefore
now
wee
wretches
here
beneath
,
albeit
our
con●●tion
is
farre
worse
then
any
of
those
,
yet
wee
conceiue
comfort
that
now
in
his
glorified
estate
he
will
also
grant
vs
his
pittie
,
and
compassion
,
and
by
the
power
of
his
grace
,
whereby
hee
is
able
to
subdue
all
things
vnto
himselfe
,
will
conquer
our
stubborn
,
and
disobedient
hearts
,
and
mak●
them
plyable
and
conformable●
to
his
sacred
Lawes
.
That
we
may
not
reason
in
our
vnderstanding
,
nor
encline●
our
affections
downewards
,
but
as
he
is
receiued
vp
in
glory
,
so
we
may
set
our selues
and
soules
to
seeke
and
search
after
him
in
all
heauenly
things
.
O
Lord
the
dead
prayse
thee
not
,
they
that
goe
downe
into
the
pit
doe
not
remember
thee
,
what
benefit
is
there
in
our
blood
,
what
glory
is
there
to
thee
in
the
land
of
obliuion
,
where
thou
art
not
once
thoght
vpon
?
O
God
let
the
deuouring
and
despayring
gulfe
bee
the
portion
for
the
diuels
and
the
damned
that
neuer
seeke
thee
in
thy
beloued
.
Let
that
vale
be
for
the
children
of
Hinnon
that
bottomlesse
pit
for
the
Locusts
,
that
lake
of
brimstone
for
thy
Christs
enemies
,
that
second
death
for
the
desperate
,
that
weeping
and
wayling
for
the
heathen
that
hath
not
knowne
thee
,
that
hell
for
the
d●spisers
of
thy
Sonn●
,
that
euerlasting
fire
for
the
Abaddon
,
and
his
seruants
,
but
as
for
those
that
sue
for
fauour
vnto
thee
and
lye
at
thy
mercy
gate
for
grace
,
and
beg
but
the
crums
,
let
them
be
deliuered
because
of
thy
beloued
,
let
them
reioyce
on
thy
saluation
,
let
them
see
the
sight
of
thy
saints
,
and
bee
glad
with
the
light
of
thy
countenance
for
euer
.
O
speake
comfortably
vnto
their
soules
,
and
let
their
hearts
euermore
reioyce
before
thee
.
Oh
tender
hearted
Father
giue
them
a
tast
in
this
life
of
the
happinesse
of
the
other
,
and
a
glimpse
of
that
glory
whe●
into
Christ
Iesus
is
receiued
.
That
so
our
hearts
may
bee
enflamed
,
our
wills
enclined
,
our
affections
setled
,
and
our
whole
selues
knit
vnto
thee
,
that
neither
sinne
nor
Sathan
,
life
nor
death
,
things
present

nor
things
to
come
may
separate
vs
from
the
loue
and
exceeding
thirst
and
desire
of
beeing
where
Christ
our

Let

in

that
we
