CONCLVSIONS
VPON
DANCES
,
BOTH
OF
THIS
AGE
AND
OF
THE
OLD
.
Three
diuers
opinions
of
learned
men
,
concerning
Dances
.
CReat
is
the
diuersitie
of
opinions
about
the
vsage
of
dances
,
euen
as
it
is
about
a
thousand
other
matters
of
no
slender
importance
.
Some
men
of
good
vnderstanding
and
litterature
,
doe
affirme
dances
to
bee
holy
of
themselues
:
and
their
chiefe
allegation
regardeth
the
sixt
Chapter
of
the
second
booke
of
Samuel
,
where
it
is
written
,
that
the
Prophet
Dauid
danced
before
the
Arke
of
the
Lord
,
when
it
was
carried
from
the
house
of
Obed-Edom
to
the
Citie
of
Dauid
,
with
shouting
and
sound
of
Trumpet
.
Many
others
doe
maintaine
,
that
such
an
exercise
is
prophane
:
and
doe
principally
inferre
out
of
the
32.
chapter
of
Exodus
,
that
the
corrupted
Israelites
did
dance
in
their
idolatrie
about
the
molten
Calfe
,
which
they
compelled
Aaron
to
make
.
But
after
the
iudgement
of
the
greater
number
,
it
is
a
thing
altogether
indifferent
:
and
their
highest
argument
doth
embrace
one
speech
of
Christ
in
the
7.
chap.
of
the
Gospell
according
to
Saint
Luke
,
which
is
this
,
They
are
like
vnto
little
children
sitting
in
the
market
place
,
and
crying
one
to
another
,
and
saying
,
Wee
haue
piped
vnto
you
,
and
ye
haue
not
danced
:
wee
haue
mourned
vnto
you
,
and
you
haue
not
wept
.
Let
the
hearers
and
readers
open
their
mindes
vnto
vs
,
or
vnto
others
,
vpon
such
diuersities
.
It
may
easily
be
perceiued
,
in
marking
some
places
of
the
Old
and
New
Testaments
,
that
the
holinesse
,
prophanation
,
and
indifferencie
of
dances
,
must
be
considered
vpon
the
causes
of
dancing
.
Wherefore
wee
are
minded
to
set
downe
,
by
the
permission
of
the
Almightie
,
some
instructiue
obseruations
touching
that
purpose
.
Of
the
Dances
vsed
in
the
Old
Age
,
and
formerly
of
the
holy
.
THat
Dance
was
holy
,
which
,
as
wee
read
in
the
15.
chap.
of
Exodus
,
was
effected
by
Miriam
the
Prophetesse
,
sister
of
Aaron
and
Moses
,
with
all
the
other
Israelitish
women
,
when
God
had
miraculously
destroyed
their
deadly
foes
the
Aegyptians
,
to
wit
,
King
Pharao
and
his
mightie
hoste
,
in
ouerthrowing
and
drowning
them
all
at
once
in
the
red
Sea
.
For
they
danced
in
singing
prayses
vnto
God
for
their
deliuerance
:
and
so
the
cause
of
their
dancing
was
godly
,
and
consequently
the
dance
it selfe
was
holy
.
That
Dance
was
holy
likewise
,
which
the
Scripture
sheweth
vs
in
the
11.
chap.
of
Iudges
,
when
Iptah
had
vanquished
his
aduersaries
the
Ammonites
,
and
returned
to
his
house
:
which
Ammonites
had
beene
verie
cruel
oppressors
of
the
Israelits
eighteen
years
.
For
the
daughter
of
Iaphtah
with
her
compapanions
went
out
to
meete
her
father
,
and
danced
in
magnifying
the
Lord
,
because
he
had
giuen
him
the
victorie
ouer
his
enemies
.
Is
not
the
like
argument
to
be
framed
vpon
the
like
subiect
,
in
the
18.
chap.
of
the
first
book
of
Samuel
?
We
see
there
,
how
that
the
women
of
Israel
came
out
of
all
their
Cities
,
to
honour
Dauid
returning
from
the
slaughter
of
Goliath
the
Philistim
:
and
how
that
they
danced
in
giuing
glorie
to
the
Almightie
,
because
hee
had
auenged
his
people
Israel
of
their
foes
the
Philistims
,
which
were
slaundering
and
blaspheming
idolaters
.
And
the
15.
Chapter
of
the
booke
of
Iudith
doth
confirme
this
matter
of
dancing
,
in
that
it
manifesteth
the
Dances
of
that
most
vertuous
,
godly
,
and
valiant
widow
Iudith
,
after
she
had
saued
the
Citie
of
Bethulia
,
and
discomfited
the
Persians
,
Medes
,
and
all
the
rest
,
by
smiting
off
,
with
her
heroicall
hand
,
the
head
of
Olofernes
,
chiefe
Captaine
of
Nabuchodonosor
King
of
the
Assyrians
.
Vpon
what
occasions
,
in
the
Old
Age
,
the
dances
were
vsed
.
NOw
euerie
man
may
learne
by
those
premisses
,
that
the
godly
women
of
Israell
did
dance
publikly
,
after
some
great
victorie
,
in
praysing
and
glorifying
the
name
of
the
Lord
for
the
same
:
and
that
they
did
not
vse
that
kinde
of
exercise
with
any
minde
toward
some
worldly
pleasure
.
But
was
it
onely
about
victories
?
It
was
also
about
the
celebration
of
some
solemne
feast
consecrated
vnto
God
:
as
we
haue
the
example
thereof
in
the
21.
Chap.
of
Iudges
.
For
the
Elders
of
Israel
hauing
no
wiues
for
two
hundreth
men
of
Beniamin
had
them
goe
to
Shiloh
,
where
a
feast
of
the
Lord
was
celebrated
euery
yeare
:
saying
,
Goe
and
lye
in
wait
in
the
Vineyards
,
and
when
ye
see
the
daughters
of
Shiloh
come
out
to
dance
in
Dances
,
then
come
yee
out
of
the
Vineyardes
,
and
catch
you
euery
man
a
wife
of
the
daughters
of
Shiloh
,
and
goe
into
the
land
of
Beniamin
.
So
ye
may
clearely
see
,
that
the
vsage
of
dancing
was
not
onely
ordained
for
victories
,
but
also
for
solemne
feasts
:
and
that
a
conclusion
may
be
gathered
out
of
it
,
to
be
lawfull
to
reioyce
with
dances
,
at
the
time
of
mariages
,
and
of
all
other
holy
and
great
occasions
.
But
it
were
meete
and
conuenient
,
ye
should
alwaies
remember
one
thing
:
that
whensoeuer
the
occasions
of
dancing
are
holy
,
then
the
forme
of
dancing
ought
to
represent
holinesse
,
as
the
indifferent
doe
require
indifferencie
:
the
discerning
wherof
must
be
left
to
the
iudgement
of
godly
and
well
learned
persons
.
Wee
doe
not
adde
to
this
place
the
historie
contained
in
the
sixt
chap.
of
the
second
booke
of
Samuel
,
which
saith
,
That
the
Prophet
Dauid
danced
before
the
Arke
of
God
:
because
a
doubt
may
rise
thereupon
,
whether
that
motion
of
Dauid
was
a
dance
,
or
not
.
For
as
in
the
82.
Psalme
,
and
in
other
doctrines
of
the
holy
Bible
,
Princes
and
Magistrates
are
called
Gods
,
because
in
a
manner
they
bee
like
vnto
God
:
so
that
motion
of
Dauid
might
be
taken
in
the
number
of
dances
,
because
it
had
some
likenesse
with
them
.
What
is
that
,
which
compelleth
vs
to
argue
in
this
sort
?
I
pray
you
,
hearken
a
little
.
Dances
are
motions
composed
with
measure
:
but
that
motion
of
Dauid
was
without
measure
:
as
it
is
not
difficult
to
be
comprehended
,
in
that
he
discouered
himselfe
before
his
maids
,
whereupon
hee
was
mocked
of
his
wife
Michal
.
What
might
haue
beene
the
cause
of
such
a
motion
in
him
?
His
minde
was
transported
and
carried
away
,
through
the
great
vehemencie
of
the
burning
zeale
,
wherewith
hee
was
altogither
inflamed
.
Of
the
Vnlawfull
Dances
,
which
are
commonly
called
prophane
.
AS
touching
prophane
Dances
,
that
Dance
which
the
Apostle
Saint
Matthew
in
the
14.
Chapter
of
his
Gospell
,
writeth
to
haue
beene
danced
before
Herod
by
the
daughter
of
Herodias
,
may
be
a
sufficient
testimoniall
.
There
it
clearely
appeareth
to
all
persons
endued
with
some
discretion
,
that
in
her
Dance
she
had
no
regard
vnto
God
,
but
onely
vnto
Herod
:
that
she
might
most
excellently
please
the
said
Herod
,
to
the
intent
that
he
should
make
her
some
extraordinarie
high
promise
,
whereby
she
might
purchase
to
her selfe
the
head
of
Saint
Iohn
Baptist
,
for
to
carrie
it
to
her
mother
Herodias
,
which
did
hate
that
good
Prophet
with
a
deadly
hatred
.
And
wee
conclude
thereupon
that
euery
dancer
and
danceresse
,
which
in
their
dances
haue
no
remembrance
of
God
,
are
greatly
culpable
before
the
eyes
of
God
himselfe
,
although
they
seeme
to
be
without
fault
in
the
sight
of
men
.
Wee
do
not
bring
hither
the
dancing
mentioned
in
the
23.
Chap.
of
Exodus
:
because
those
stubborn
and
stiffehearted
Israelites
,
which
danced
about
the
molten
Calfe
,
were
become
Idolaters
.
For
it
might
be
in
that
consideration
,
that
such
dances
were
part
of
their
religion
.
Of
such
Dances
,
as
by
reason
are
estemed
to
be
indifferent
.
BVt
for
the
indifferencie
of
Dances
,
wee
haue
the
15.
Chapter
of
the
Euangelist
S.
Luke
:
where
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
speaking
of
the
Prodigall
Sonne
,
which
had
wasted
abroad
all
his
portion
of
Goods
,
and
afterward
was
returned
to
his
Father
,
with
humble
confession
of
his
offence
,
sayth
in
good
part
,
&
in
the
narration
of
a
godly
deed
,
that
they
made
great
mirth
for
his
sake
in
the
house
,
with
Bankers
,
Melodie
,
and
Dances
.
And
there
that
indifferencie
of
Dancing
,
is
to
be
more
plainely
seene
in
these
wordes
,
Let
vs
eate
,
and
be
merrie
.
King
Salomon
among
many
indifferent
thinges
,
which
he
setteth
down
for
our
instruction
,
in
the
3.
Chapter
of
his
Ecclesiastes
,
doeth
also
teach
vs
this
:
That
as
there
is
a
time
to
mourne
,
so
there
is
a
time
to
Dance
.
And
such
a
thing
may
also
serue
vs
heere
,
for
the
proofe
of
the
indifferencie
of
Dances
:
concluding
besides
that
,
by
the
last
example
and
doctrine
now
deduced
,
that
it
is
not
any
action
displeasant
vnto
God
,
to
vse
Dances
for
an
honest
recreation
,
in
the
ioyfull
meetings
of
faythfull
friendes
,
or
deare
kinsfolkes
;
and
in
all
other
occasions
like
vnto
that
same
.
Wee
do
not
vse
heere
,
that
comparison
of
the
little
Children
,
inuiting
other
little
Children
to
Dance
,
comprehended
in
the
7.
Chap.
of
the
Gospell
according
to
S.
Luke
,
which
comparison
the
Lord
Iesus
vttered
for
himselfe
,
and
for
the
Prophet
S.
Iohn
Baptist
,
against
the
Pharises
and
Expounders
of
the
Law
.
For
it
is
well
knowen
euery
where
,
that
many
thinges
are
to
be
tollerated
in
Children
,
which
are
not
to
be
tollerated
in
other
persons
:
as
the
ryding
vpon
Stickes
,
and
the
playing
with
Babies
;
with
such
other
foolish
pastimes
.
What
sort
of
Dancing
is
more
conuenient
for
the
health
.
AMong
the
indifferent
Dances
,
those
Dances
as
we
thinke
,
must
be
numbred
,
which
are
practised
for
the
exercise
of
the
body
,
that
thereby
the
bodily
health
may
be
better
preserued
.
Wherfore
in
regarding
the
druersitie
of
dispositions
,
which
is
founde
at
all
times
in
the
humaine
kinde
,
it
will
not
bee
amisse
,
to
set
downe
one
worde
in
this
purpose
,
to
declare
what
sort
of
Dancing
is
more
conuenient
for
these
,
and
what
for
those
.
Such
Dances
as
doe
strongly
stirre
the
body
,
ought
to
be
chosen
of
them
,
which
haue
some
obstructions
in
the
wayes
of
the
Vrine
,
or
some
other
like
impediment
.
And
the
contrarie
must
be
vsed
of
such
persons
,
as
doe
perceiue
their
owne
Braines
to
be
weake
,
or
the
like
infirmitie
to
be
in
some
other
part
.
But
to
the
others
that
Dancing
is
fitter
,
which
exerciseth
the
bodie
in
a
meane
measure
of
agitation
.
Therefore
let
all
those
persons
,
which
doe
ordinarily
exercise
them selues
in
Dances
,
carefully
obserue
and
regard
the
constitutions
of
their
bodyes
:
to
the
intent
,
that
they
should
not
vse
any
kind
of
Dancing
,
which
by
repugnancie
might
be
hurtfull
to
their
complxions
:
Remembring
assidually
within
them selues
,
and
so
much
the
more
in
this
matter
,
to
acknowledge
God
to
be
the
Author
of
all
good
thinges
:
because
the
Apostle
S.
Paul
in
the
4.
Chap.
of
his
first
Epistle
to
Timotheus
doth
condemne
the
bodily
exercise
,
when
it
is
not
accompanied
with
godlines
.
Of
the
ordinarie
Dances
,
vsed
euerie
,
in
these
dayes
.
NOw
that
we
haue
handled
the
Dances
of
the
old
Age
,
shall
wee
make
euident
in
few
lines
,
what
wee
thinke
of
the
Dances
of
our
dayes
?
These
Dances
(
I
speake
of
the
greater
part
of
them
)
doe
seeme
vnto
our
iudgement
,
to
be
partly
vaine
,
and
partly
prophane
.
Vaine
,
because
neither
men
nor
women
are
able
to
attaine
vnto
the
knowledge
and
practise
of
the
art
of
such
Dancing
,
without
vexation
of
the
Spirit
,
and
losse
of
time
.
Prophane
,
because
in
the
old
age
,
the
women
Danced
to
this
intent
,
that
thereby
their
spirituall
Songes
and
Diuine
prayses
should
waxe
more
feruent
;
and
consequently
become
more
acceptable
vnto
GOD
:
wheras
now
very
often
,
in
a
great
many
places
,
among
the
Christians
them-selues
,
not
onely
the
Women
,
but
also
the
Men
,
doe
Dance
to
please
the
world
.
Notwithstanding
God
alone
is
hee
,
which
seeth
their
heartes
and
intentions
:
and
without
difficultie
it
may
be
,
that
our
coniectures
are
not
sufficiently
iudicious
.
The
vexation
of
the
Spirit
is
so
much
spoken
against
,
by
that
wise
Salomon
in
his
Booke
of
Eccesiastes
,
that
it
is
a
wonderfull
thing
,
to
see
so
many
,
&
so
many
againe
,
that
neuer
keepe
them selues
from
the
tearing
clawes
of
that
monster
.
And
the
losse
of
Time
,
might
be
better
auoyded
,
if
men
would
but
note
the
admonition
of
the
Apostle
S.
Paul
,
in
the
5.
Chap.
of
his
Epistle
to
the
Ephesians
,
where
hee
biddeth
them
Redeeme
the
time
:
when
hee
admonisheth
them
,
To
walke
circumspectly
,
not
as
Fooles
;
but
as
Wise
,
and
to
vnderstand
what
the
will
of
the
Lord
is
.
Moreouer
,
many
of
these
Dances
are
so
much
artificiall
(
at
the
least
within
our
cogitations
,
and
within
the
cogitations
of
some
other
persons
,
which
haue
also
obserued
in
the
holy
Histories
of
the
old
Testament
,
the
manner
of
Dancing
practised
among
the
Israelitish
women
,
that
liued
in
the
feare
of
God
)
many
of
these
Dances
(
I
say
)
are
so
much
artificiall
,
that
the
humaine
mindes
can
not
be
intended
nor
attentiue
to
the
Art
of
Dancing
,
and
to
the
prayse
of
God
together
.
Whether
it
bee
lawfull
for
men
to
dance
with
women
.
MAny
men
doe
argue
,
that
it
is
lawfull
for
them
,
to
dance
with
women
:
because
(
say
they
)
the
Prophet
Dauid
exhorteth
vs
in
one
of
his
Psalmes
,
to
praise
God
in
Dances
.
But
that
argument
cannot
bee
strong
enough
.
For
besides
that
the
Hebrewe
word
doth
carry
diuers
significations
,
the
later
and
riper
Translations
,
both
in
English
and
in
other
Languages
,
doe
not
name
any
Dance
.
Therefore
we
would
rather
counsell
them
to
take
an
other
way
,
and
sende
them
to
that
Text
of
the
Prophet
Ieremie
in
the
31.
Chapter
,
The
Virgine
shall
reioyce
in
the
Dance
,
and
the
yong
men
and
the
olde
men
together
:
for
I
will
turne
their
mourning
into
ioy
,
&
will
comfort
them
,
and
giue
them
ioy
for
their
sorrowes
.
Heere
many
others
do
endeuour
themselues
,
to
make
an
opposition
in
this
manner
.
As
the
flowing
of
milke
and
hony
(
say
they
)
is
taken
in
the
Scripture
,
for
the
aboundance
of
all
things
necessary
to
the
humane
life
;
so
the
Dance
is
put
in
that
Text
for
the
greatnes
of
ioy
.
But
let
them
marke
,
or
remember
one
thing
:
The
wordes
must
be
vnderstood
in
an
other
sense
,
when
they
are
repugnant
vnto
reason
:
but
the
word
Dance
,
is
not
repugnant
vnto
reason
,
in
that
text
of
Ieremie
aboue
recited
.
To
what
estates
the
Dances
are
thought
to
be
more
becomming
.
IF
wee
will
but
marke
meanely
well
a
little
part
of
the
15.
Chap.
of
Exodus
alreadie
mentioned
,
it
shall
be
sufficiently
manifest
vnto
vs
,
that
the
Israelitish
women
Danced
with
Miriam
the
Prophetesse
,
for
that
they
were
mooued
and
brought
to
it
by
the
sayd
Miriam
,
which
began
to
Dance
,
and
was
the
leader
of
them
.
Whereby
wee
shall
remaine
fully
perswaded
,
that
those
women
did
not
embolden
themselues
towardes
that
exercise
,
in
the
presence
of
her
,
which
was
aboue
them
in
dignitie
,
vntill
they
were
bidden
and
inuited
to
it
by
her
example
.
And
this
doth
cause
the
opinions
of
many
Learned
men
to
be
,
that
such
an
exercise
is
rather
appertayning
to
the
Nobilitie
and
Gentilitie
,
then
to
the
other
estates
:
and
that
the
inferiours
ought
not
to
vse
it
among
the
superiours
,
nor
in
the
presence
of
them
,
except
the
superiours
doe
bidde
or
inuite
the
inferiours
to
the
same
,
whether
it
be
by
speach
,
or
otherwise
.
Concluding
thereupon
,
that
same
Art
to
be
much
abused
in
our
age
,
because
(
say
they
)
it
is
practised
by
a
great
many
without
any
diseretion
at
all
.
Let
vs
giue
some
insight
to
a
few
words
of
the
11.
Chap.
of
Iudges
,
which
wee
haue
alledged
in
another
line
of
this
Treatise
.
No
mention
is
made
of
any
person
in
those
Dances
,
but
of
the
daughter
of
Iephtah
,
which
was
Captaine
ouer
the
people
of
Israel
,
Doth
not
this
argue
with
great
probabilitie
,
that
the
said
daughter
of
Iephtah
,
was
the
moouer
and
guider
of
that
dancing
,
as
shee
was
the
highest
in
estate
and
condition
among
her
fellowes
?
And
doth
it
not
by
consequence
come
to
agree
with
that
purpose
,
which
now
we
haue
holden
in
a
brief
deduction
,
a
very
little
before
,
about
the
dauncing
of
Miriam
the
Prophetesse
with
the
other
women
of
Israel
?
None
extraordinarie
sharpnesse
,
or
viuacitie
of
wit
is
necessarie
,
to
make
it
enter
into
the
comprehension
of
that
point
.
We
haue
already
touched
the
fiftenth
chapter
of
the
Booke
of
Iudeth
,
which
wee
must
touch
againe
at
this
present
time
,
vpon
the
discourse
which
we
haue
in
hand
.
For
these
words
are
written
in
the
end
of
it
,
concerning
the
sayde
most
honorable
Iudeth
,
They
also
crowned
her
with
Oliues
,
and
her
that
was
with
her
,
and
shee
went
before
the
people
in
the
Dance
,
leading
all
the
Women
.
Which
words
do
greatly
augment
,
without
any
part
of
doubt
,
the
strength
and
vigour
of
our
argumentation
:
to
wit
,
that
the
Dances
do
not
seeme
to
become
so
well
the
lower
sort
,
as
the
higher
:
and
that
we
may
thinke
according
vnto
reason
,
to
be
somewhat
inconuenient
for
the
lower
,
to
haue
the
exercitation
of
dancing
neere
the
higher
,
vnlesse
some
leaue
he
giuen
of
these
vnto
those
,
one
way
or
other
.
And
herevnto
this
very
short
addition
,
as
we
do
perswade
our selues
,
cannot
bee
but
fitly
applyed
:
that
by
the
Histories
of
daunces
contained
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
it
seemeth
vnto
the
consideration
of
many
godly
persons
,
that
the
practise
of
Dancing
is
more
becomming
vnto
women
,
then
vnto
men
.
Why
Dances
are
forbidden
in
some
places
among
the
Christians
.
THe
prohibition
of
Dances
in
Geneua
,
&
in
some
other
Territories
,
which
do
keepe
all
the
orders
of
the
same
in
matters
of
Religion
,
and
Ecclesiasticall
Discipline
,
was
made
because
of
the
great
abuses
of
them
:
to
cut
off
the
pernicious
euils
,
which
oftentimes
happened
thereby
.
Is
not
this
a
sufficient
argument
,
to
prooue
such
an
action
to
be
good
?
Behold
,
our
Messias
in
the
18.
Chap.
of
the
Gospel
according
to
S.
Matthew
,
doeth
command
euery
one
of
vs
,
to
cast
away
his
hand
,
or
his
foote
,
or
his
eye
;
if
they
cause
him
to
offend
:
saying
,
that
it
is
better
,
to
enter
into
life
,
with
one
hand
,
or
with
one
foote
,
or
with
one
eye
,
then
hauing
two
hands
,
or
two
feete
,
or
two
eyes
,
to
be
cast
into
euerlasting
fire
.
Therefore
if
in
that
case
we
must
needs
be
depriued
of
things
,
which
are
so
much
profitable
&
necessarie
:
why
should
those
nations
haue
refused
to
suppresse
a
thing
,
which
among
them
was
become
altogether
vaine
and
prophane
?
Wee
read
in
the
21.
Chap.
of
Numbers
,
that
Moses
by
the
commandement
of
God
,
did
make
a
Serpent
of
Brasse
,
and
erected
it
for
a
signe
vnto
the
Israelites
.
And
we
read
in
the
18.
Chap.
of
the
second
Booke
of
Kings
,
that
the
religious
King
Hezekiah
did
beat
downe
,
and
breake
in
peeces
the
sayd
Brasen
Serpent
,
because
he
saw
that
the
people
of
Israel
continued
yet
to
adore
the
same
,
in
burning
Incense
vnto
it
.
If
then
it
haue
been
lawfull
,
to
abolish
the
Sacrament
of
God
,
in
consideration
that
it
was
abused
;
why
should
it
not
be
lawfull
,
to
put
away
the
inuentions
of
men
for
the
like
cause
?
Mee
thinketh
it
were
enough
,
to
make
vs
leaue
and
forsake
the
vsage
of
such
Dances
,
as
are
onely
effected
for
the
pleasure
of
our
eyes
,
to
obserue
and
consider
with
studious
diligence
one
thing
in
the
14.
chap.
of
the
Apostle
S.
Matthew
,
How
that
through
the
meanes
&
occasion
of
a
Dance
,
S.
Iohn
Baptist
was
put
to
death
:
which
was
a
most
excellent
Prophet
,
&
a
most
faythfull
forerunner
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
.
To
whom
,
with
the
Father
,
and
the
Spirit
,
be
all
magnificence
,
and
glorie
perpetually
.
Amen
.
