O
my
people
(
saith
God
)
what
haue
I
done
vnto
thee
?
&c.
It
is
not
my
purpose
(
most
honourable
)
to
cal
to
your
remembrance
the
manifold
benefittes
and
blessings
which
God
from
time
to
time
,
vnder
good
leaders
,
captaines
,
iudges
,
and
kings
,
hath
bestowed
vpon
the
Iewish
nation
,
that
might
be
tedious
vnto
some
,
superfluous
vnto
others
,
and
impossible
to
me
,
at
this
one
time
,
for
so
I
might
at
this
time
begin
and
not
be
able
to
make
an
ende
,
my
purpose
is
to
come
neerer
home
vnto
our selues
,
and
to
apply
in
particular
the
circumstances
of
this
Scripture
vnto
these
present
times
and
present
occasions
,
men
consider
with
better
attention
those
things
which
they
féele
to
be
done
vnto
themselues
,
then
they
do
those
things
which
they
heare
done
vnto
others
,
we
beleeue
the
report
of
the
one
,
because
we
haue
heard
it
,
our selues
can
testifie
the
certainty
of
the
other
,
because
wée
haue
séene
it
,
as
we
haue
heard
concerning
them
,
so
also
haue
we
séene
concerning
our selues
in
the
house
of
God
.
God
hath
as
little
grieued
vs
,
as
euer
he
grieued
them
.

God
hath
as
aboundantly
blessed
vs

as
euer
hée
blessed

We
for
our
parts
haue
dealt

And
therefore
he
for

part

may
as

and
say
vnto

our

Lord
with
any

moneths

and
with
which
of
these
3.
hath
the
Lord
grieued
,
I
cannot
say
wronged
vs
,
if
so
be
,
it
be
a
blessing
and
not
a
punishment
,
to
stand
still
void
and
exempt
of
all
affliction
and
trouble
.
First
as
touching
Pestilence
,
albeit
it
bee
a
speciall
punishment
appointed
by
God
himselfe
vnto
all
those
which
stubbornely
disobey
and
transgresse
his
commandements
,
for
so
speaketh
God
by
his
seruant
Moyses
:
If
thou
shalt
not
hearken
vnto
the
word
which
I
command
thee
this
day
to
doe
it
,
I
wil
make
the
Pestilence
to
cleaue
vnto
thee
,
vntill
it
haue
consumed
thee
from
the
land
,
and
smite
thee
with
the
botch
of
Aegypt
,
&c.
And
no
one
nation
vnder
the
couer
of
the
cope
of
heauen
(
that
we
flatter
not
our selues
)
more
sinfull
people
then
we
haue
béene
,
yet
so
farre
forth
hath
the
measure
of
Gods
mercie
and
goodnesse
excéeded
the
measure
of
our
sinne
and
wickednesse
,
that
the
fault
remayning
too
excessiuely
amongst
vs
,
the
punishment
for
the
most
part
hath
béene
taken
away
,
yea
in
the
verye
time
of
vengeance
and
destruction
,
our
God
bethought
himselfe
of
mercy
and
preseruation
,
for
in
the
winter
season
he
commaunded
the
Angell
to
smite
,
and
in
the
summer
season
(
a
mercy
beyond
all
expectation
)
he
commaunded
the
destroyer
to
forbear
,
in
one
yeare
he
constrained
this
mighty
Nin̄iuie
the
great
Citty
of
London
,
to
drinke
of
the
cuppe
of
the
wrath
of
his
vengeance
,
the
next
yeare
following
spared
them
,
and
enforced
all
the
noble
Citties
of
this
mighty
Kingdome
to
sucke
out
the
dregges
which
were
left
in
that
cuppe
.
At
this
time
he
hath
gathered
many
of
the
arrowes
of
this
his
displeasure
into
his
Quiuer
,
but
suffereth
some
of
them
to
remaine
scattered
,
that
we
may
learne
to
feare
him
which
hath
power
ouer
the
plagues
,
to
take
vp
betimes
with
God
,
lest
a
worse
thing
happen
vnto
vs
&
so
occasion
be
giuen
vnto
GOD
to
fill
vp
the
measure
of
that
vengeance
which
he
hath
begone
,
and
so
swéepe
vs
all
,
top
and
tayle
,
root
and
braunch
,
great
and
small
,
young
&
old
,
superior
&
inferior
sweepe
vs
I
say
al
with
that
Besom
which
the
holy
Scripture
speaketh
of
,
the
Besom
of
destruction
.
For
the
other
instrument
of
Gods
iustice
,
(
famine
of
bread
and
scarcitie
of
foode
)
this
Land
hath
not
this
many
yeares
béene
grieued
and
afflicted
,
the
Lord
hath
opened
his
góod
treasure
vnto
vs
,
euen
the
Heauens
to
giue
raine
vnto
the
earth
in
due
season
:
and
the
earth
to
giue
her
encrease
,
the
Trées
of
the
field
to
send
forth
their
fruite
,
the
Lord
hath
made
vs
happie
in
the
blessing
of
Ioseph
,
euen
in
the
fattnesse
of
the
earth
and
the
dewe
of
Heauen
.
The
Lord
hath
heard
the
heauens
&
the
Heauens
haue
heard
the
earth
,
and
the
earth
hath
heard
the
Corne
,
and
the
Corne
hath
heard
Israel
his
people
.
Howbeit
least
our
long
peace
should
breede
vs
too
much
plentie
,
and
our
ouer
much
plentie
should
make
vs
too
proud
,
and
our
pride
should
pricke
vs
to
play
the
wanton
children
against
our
gratious
GOD
,
he
hath
in
his
Fatherly
prouidence
tempered
our
prosperitie
with
some
gentle
〈◊〉
of
moderate
correction
:
to
this
purpose
some
eight
or
nine
yeares
since
,
the
séede
became
rotten
vnder
the
cloddes
,
the
meate
was
cut
of
before
our
eyes
,
our
old
store
was
spent
,
our
garners
were
emptie
,
our
flocks
of
shéepe
were
destroyed
,
our
heards
of
cattell
were
●oded
,
the
starte
of
bread
〈◊〉
in
euery
place
,
the
tongue
of
the
suckling
Child
did
euen
cleaue
as
it
were
to
the
roofe
of
his
mouth
,
many
asked
bread
,
very
fewe
brake
and
gaue
vnto
them
.
For
the
third
instrument
of
the
scourge
of
Gods
iustice
,
(
warre
and
the
sword
,
)
of
this
these
many
yeares
we
haue
not
:
and
I
pray
God
many
moe
yeares
we
do
not
tast
.
Inquire
the
generations
of
old
which
were
before
time
,
since
that
God
created
man
first
vpon
the
earth
,
and
aske
from
one
end
of
the
heauen
to
the
other
,
was
there
euer
any
nation
vnto
whom
,
&
vpon
whom
God
hath
bestowed
greater
kindnes
&
fauor
then
he
hath
done
vpon
us
in
this
behalfe
,
the
lord
hath
done
asmuch
for
vs
in
this
little
Iland
,
as
euer
he
did
for
the
children
of
Israel
in
the
land
of
Goshan
:
through
out
the
whole
land
of
Egipt
there
was
swarmes
of
Flies
,
and
Liece
,
and
Caterpillers
,
and
Blasting
,
and
Thunder
,
and
Mildew
,
but
in
the
Land
of
Goshan
where
the
children
of
Israel
were
,
there
was
none
of
all
these
,
insomuch
as
the
Lord
saith
,
he
would
deale
wonderfully
euen
betwéene
the
beasts
of
Israel
and
beasts
of
Aegipt
.
Altour
néere
neighbours
and
emborders
round
about
vs
,
haue
dronken
of
the
fierce
cup
of
the
wrath
of
Gods
indignation
,
hee
hath
made
his
arrowes
surfeit
with
blood
,
and
hath
made
his
swoord
to
eate
the
flesh
of
the
one
,
and
of
the
other
,
but
as
for
vs
his
beloued
,
in
this
little
Iland
,
he
hath
kept
vs
in
safetie
in
a
Land
which
floweth
with
milke
and
wheal
,
and
honie
,
and
hath
multiplied
vs
,
and
hath
blessed
vs
,
and
hath
encreased
vs
,
and
hath
enriched
vs
,
both
in
encrease
of
our
kine
and
flocks
of
our
shéepe
,
and
heards
of
our
cattell
,
and
hath
commaunded
the
heauens
that
they
should
drop
vpon
vs
the
fatnes
of
their
dewe
,
as
some
times
they
did
vpon
the
little
hill
of
Hermon
,
hee
hath
amazed
the
Duke
of
Edom
with
our
happinesse
,
he
hath
cast
the
terror
of
vs
vpon
the
mightymen
of
Moab
,
he
hath
made
the
inhabitance
of
Canaan
to
quake
,
and
yet
for
all
this
,
is
not
the
goodnesse
of
our
God
ceased
towards
vs
,
but
yet
there
is
mercie
powred
on
vs
still
,
it
is
much
that
he
hath
giuen
vs
the
Gospell
,
it
is
more
that
he
hath
giuen
it
without
any
publicke
Crosse
and
calamitie
.
Surely
he
hath
brought
vs
also
out
of
the
Land
of
Aegipt
,
and
deliuered
vs
from
the
bondage
of
seruants
:
speaking
of
this
point
,
I
may
iustly
say
where
may
I
beginne
,
or
where
may
I
end
,
the
matter
I
am
to
speake
of
is
much
,
the
time
allotted
mee
to
speake
in
,
is
but
short
,
loath
I
am
to
offend
any
chast
or
Godly
or
religious
eares
,
but
something
must
be
said
of
it
,
that
we
may
shew
our selues
thankefull
for
our
deliuerance
:
of
religion
we
are
sometimes
perswaded
that
it
consisted
onely
in
the
obseruation
of
a
few
outward
rites
and
ceremonies
,
as
touch
not
,
taste
not
,
handle
not
,
which
all
perish
with
the
vsage
,
and
after
the
doctrines
and
traditions
of
men
.
2.
Of
faith
,
that
it
was
onely
a
bare
speculation
,
full
of
feare
and
terror
,
without
any
certaine
knowledge
of
,
or
sure
confidence
in
the
word
of
God
.
3.
Of
workes
,
that
a
man
might
worke
out
his
owne
saluation
,
or
if
so
be
he
had
none
of
his
owne
,
he
might
buy
the
ouerplus
of
the
workes
of
other
men
,
which
they
call
the
worke
of
supererogation
,
which
they
cal
also
the
treasure
of
the
church
.
4.
Ofdeuotion
,
that
ignorance
was
the
mother
of
it
,
and
pilgrimage
the
nurse
.
5.
Of
prayer
,
that
it
may
be
vsed
in
an
vnknowne
tongue
,
and
offered
to
stocks
,
to
saints
,
and
to
Images
.
6.
Of
the
sacrament
of
Baptisme
,
that
it
might
be
applied
to
bels
in
a
mockery
,
and
encombred
besides
with
infinite
superstitions
.
7.
Of
the
sacrifice
of
the
Masse
,
that
it
was
a
sacrifice
propitiatory
for
the
quick
and
the
dead
,
as
if
the
sacrifice
of
Christ
once
offered
vp
vpon
the
aultar
of
his
crosse
,
had
not
béene
sufficient
.
8.
Of
the
Church
,
that
it
could
not
possibly
erre
,
although
it
departed
from
the
expresse
word
of
God
.
9.
Of
the
word
,
that
it
was
but
a
dead
letter
written
with
Pen
and
Inke
,
insufficient
without
traditions
,
ambiguous
without
the
interpretation
of
the
Church
of
Rome
.
10.
Of
the
Pope
,
that
he
was
Christ
his
generall
Vicar
vpon
earth
,
aboue
Kings
,
aboue
Princes
,
aboue
the
word
of
God
,
greater
&
of
higher
authoritie
then
the
Apostles
.
Of
these
things
were
some
of
vs
&
our
fathers
somtimes
perswaded
,
in
the
doctrine
of
these
things
were
they
trained
vp
,
they
worshipped
vanities
,
&
honored
lies
,
or
if
they
refused
so
to
do
,
the
talkmaisters
were
ready
to
lay
more
heauy
burthens
vpon
them
,
then
euer
were
laid
vpon
the
Israelits
in
Aegypt
,
their
goods
were
spoiled
,
their
houses
ransacked
,
their
liuings
forfeited
,
their
lands
extended
,
their
bodies
imprisoned
,
themselues
martyred
,
their
goods
,
houses
,
and
children
ransacked
,
looke
what
cursing
,
what
banning
,
what
hangman
,
what
gibbet
,
what
torment
,
what
torture
,
was
able
to
doe
,
the
Saints
of
GOD
did
not
onely
taste
of
it
,
but
in
full
measure
drinke
of
,
faggot
&
fire
was
as
common
in
their
mouths
,
as
Ad
leonem
Christiane
in
Licinius
his
dayes
,
but
God
which
was
able
to
deliuer
Daniel
out
of
the
Lyons
denne
,
and
Ionas
out
of
the
whales
belly
,
&
the
thrée
children
in
the
fiery
furnace
,
and
Israel
in
the
Red-sea
,
whose
eyes
are
euermore
ouer
the
righteous
,
and
which
is
néere
enough
to
al
them
that
cal
vpon
him
faithfully
,
working
their
deliuerance
when
things
were
most
desperate
,
sometimes
by
meanes
,
sometimes
without
meanes
,
sometimes
against
all
meanes
,
euen

in
the
aboundant
riches
of
his

,
hath
freed
vs
from
this
slauery
and
tyranny
of
our
consciences
,
the
Gospel
which
was
defaced
,
hee
hath
restored
vnto
this
maruailous
light
,
&
hath
made
the
beames
thereof
so
to
shine
ouer
al
parts
,
&
corners
and
quarters
of
this
excellent
kingdom
:
the
rich
,
the
poore
,
the
learned
,
the
vnlearned
,
the
great
mighty
men
&
potentates
in
the
world
are
become
defendors
and
maintayners
of
the
same
,
not
onely
by
their
profession
and
by
their
word
,
but
by
their
forces
and
their
sword
,
when
as
they
haue
protest
with
their
dearest
blood
,
&
yet
for
al
this
,
is
not
the
goodnes
of
our
God
ceased
towards
vs
,
but
yet
there
is
mercies
powred
out
stil
.
He
hath
sent
before
vs
also
Moyses
,
Aaron
,
and
Miriam
,
if
the
wish
of
our
hearts
were
giuen
vnto
vs
in
two
things
,
as
it
was
giuen
to
King
Salomon
in
one
thing
,
we
could
not
desire
two
greater
blessings
to
be
giuen
from
heauen
vnto
earth
by
god
vnto
man
,
then
Moyses
and
Aaron
:
a
good
king
to
rule
vs
,
and
a
good
priest
to
instruct
vs
,
now
if
God
in
the
multitude
of
his
mercies
hath
giuen
vs
the
fruition
of
both
these
,
how
iustly
then
may
he
say
vnto
vs
as
vnto
the
Iewes
.
What
can
I
do
more
?
S.
Paul
is
very
earnest
with
the
Corinthians
that
they
should
learne
to
know
themselues
,
which
is
as
some
thinke
the
first
point
of
wisdom
.
Know
your selues
(
saith
he
)
what
do
you
not
know
your selues
?
so
giue
me
leaue
a
little
to
importune
,
know
your selues
,
what
know
you
not
your
owne
state
,
after
God
in
the
multitude
of
his
blessings
,
had
giuen
vnto
you
to
be
gouerned
for
the
space
of
45.
years
vnder
the
regiment
of
a
most
heroical
,
gratious
,
vertuous
,
&
religious
Quéene
hee
hath
in
the
aboundance
of
his
mercies
,
giuen
you
a
King
to
raigne
ouer
you
,
O
how
honorable
is
the
name
of
a
King
,
for
God
&
the
King
enterchange
names
,
for
the
King
is
a
God
vpon
earth
,
and
God
himselfe
is
a
King
in
heauen
.
I
will
expresse
all
whatsoeuer
I
meane
to
say
concerning
this
matter
in
an
Embleme
or
mistery
.
The
Lord
past
by
,
&
a
mighty
wind
rent
the
mountaines
and
tare
the
rockes
,
but
the
Lord
was
not
in
the
wind
,
and
after
the
wind
came
an
earthquake
,
but
the
Lord
was
not
in
the
earthquake
,
&
after
that
came
fire
,
but
the
lord
was
not
in
the
fire
,
and
after
the
fire
,
came
a
small
stil
voice
,
and
the
Lord
was
in
the
voyce
.
In
the
daies
of
king
Henry
the
8.
of
renowned
memory
,
true
religion
began
to
appeare
&
to
shewe
forth
her
head
,
but
this
was
brought
to
passe
with
much
tumult
&
hurliburly
.
Here
the
L.
passed
by
vs
in
a
mighty
strong
wind
renting
the
mountaines
&
tearing
the
rockes
,
but
yet
the
Lord
was
not
in
the
wind
,
Deus
in
turbine
.
It
pleased
not
God
to
haue
a
temple
erected
vnto
him
in
his
dayes
,
I
thinke
it
was
because
hee
was
a
man
as
Dauid
was
,
a
man
of
Blood
.
After
him
succéeded
K.
Edward
the
6.
&
in
his
daies
the
very
foundations
of
Popery
beganne
to
be
shaken
,
whereupon
sundry
violent
insurrections
were
attempted
,
and
most
dangerous
conspiracies
were
preuented
,
here
the
L.
passed
along
by
vs
in
an
earthquake
,
but
the
L
,
was
not
in
the
earthquake
.
Deus
non
in
commotione
,
no
religion
established
in
K.
Edward
the
6.
dayes
.
After
him
succéeded
in
the
kingdome
,
Q.
Mary
,
and
in
her
dayes
was
séene
in
England
such
a
fire
,
as
was
neuer
séene
from
the
beginning
,
and
I
hope
neuer
shall
be
séene
to
the
ending
.
Here
the
Lord
passed
along
by
vs
in
the
fire
,
but
the
L.
was
not
in
the
fire
.
Deus
non
in
igne
.
After
her
succeeded
in
the
kingdome
Q.
Elizabeth
of
most
happy
and
blessed
memory
,
and
shée
albeit
shée
was
the
voice
,
yet
she
was
not
the
small
still
voyce
,
the
ouerswaying
faction
of
Popery
at
home
,
&
the
manifold
suspitions
of
practises
abroad
,
inforced
her
to
carry
her
Ensigne
vnder
his
banner
whose
name
is
the
L.
of
hosts
,
onely
in
the
old
Testament
,
but
euer
the
God
of
peace
in
the
new
Testament
.
As
a
voice
she
gaue
forth
Tanquam
ouis
ad
mactationem
,
as
a
voyce
she
gaue
forth
,
Posui
deum
adiutorem
meum
,
but
the
noyse
of
the
warrior
,
and
the
report
of
the
Cannon
,
and
the
tumbling
of
garments
in
blood
,
and
the
rumors
of
warres
,
and
the
iust
suspitions
of
Armadoes
and
inuasions
would
not
permit
her
to
be
the
small
still
voice
,
Sibilus
aure
tenuis
,
she
found
the
Gospell
professed
,
by
her
accompanied
by
the
sword
,
as
our
Sauiour
foretold
,
Tinke
ye
that
I
am
come
to
send
peace
vpon
the
earth
,
I
tel
ye
no
,
I
am
not
come
to
send
peace
but
a
sword
.
But
we
haue
liued
to
behold
him
,
who
is
both
the
voice
and
the
still
voice
,
Et
sibilus
,
&
sibilus
aure
tenuis
,
as
a
voice
he
giues
out
behold
,
The
Lambe
of
God
which
taketh
away
the
sins
of
the
world
,
as
a
still
voice
he
writeth
for
his
word
,
Beati
pacifici
.
2.
as
a
voice
hee
protesteth
,
This
is
the
way
walke
in
it
,
turne
neither
to
the
right
hand
,
nor
to
the
left
,
as
a
stil
voice
he
hath
made
peace
with
them
that
are
a
far
off
,
&
with
them
that
are
neare
,
Pacem
his
qui
longe
,
Pacem
his
qui

,
as
a
voice
resolueth
come
of
it
what
may
,
I
&
my
people
wil
serue
the
liuing
L.
as
a
stil
voice
he
engraueth
,
Faciem

.
4.
as
a
voice
he
publisheth
,
Exurgat
Deus
discipentur
inimici
,
as
a
stil
voice
he
hath
done
more
then
any
of
his
noble
progenitors
,
for
although
Henricus
rosas
,
yet
Regna

,
as
a

disputeth
,
he
Rex

I
dauve
not
vp
with
vntempered
morter
,
neither
doe
I
powre
out
the
precious
oyle
of
flatterie
,
to
breake
that
head
which
vnder
Christ
in
his
Church
is
the
head
of
vs
all
,
but
I
speake
the
words
of
truth
&
sovernesse
,
of
truth
in
respect
of
the
matter
,
of
sobernesse
in
respect
of
the
fashion
,
and
in
very
reason
,
flattery
vseth
not
to
commend
that
which
is
,
but
that
which
is
not
,
but
rather
to
this
end
and
purpose
haue
I
spoken
,
that
which
I
haue
said
,
that
we
may
be
thankfull
for
the
benefit
,
and
with
the
propheticall
King
Dauid
,
breake
out
into
praises
of
our
peaceable
King
,
saying
,
Praise
thy
God
O
Ierusalem
,
praise
thy
God
O
England
,
for
hee
hath
made
fast
the
batres
of
the
gates
,
and
hath
blessed
thy
children
within
thee
,
he
setteth
peace
in
thy
borders
.
Now
as
God
hath
giuen
vs
a
good
Moses
,
a
méeke
King
to
raigne
ouer
vs
,
so
if
he
haue
giuen
vs
good
Priests
withall
,
we
must
néedes
confesse
that
he
hath
loaden
vs
withall
his
benefits
,
aswell
spirituall
as
corporall
,
&
temporall
,
commonly
they
goe
not
farre
a
sunder
,
the
one
is
subordinate
vnto
the
other
,
a
good
King
will
take
order
that
there
be
good
priests
So
Salomon
a
good
king
,
drpased
Abiathar
the
high
priest
,
&
set
vp
Saadoc
:
Euseb.

so
lustinian
a
godly
Emperour
,
deposed
two
Bishops
of
Rome
,
Siluerius
and
Vigilius
,
and
anthorised
others
,
the
same
Iustinian
was
wont
to
say
,
that
he
had
no
lesse
care
of
the
church
of
Christ
,
then
of
his
owne
soule
:
so
Constantius
,
Theodosius
,
and
Valentinianus
,
were
wont
to
call
themselues
Vassallos
Christi
,
the
vassals
and
seruants
of
Christ
,
and
how
can
Kings
serue
Christ
the
King
of
Kings
better
,
then
to
prouide
for
his
church
a
faithfull
Ministrie
,
in
that
state
that
the
flock
is
that
hath
no
shepheard
to
lead
it
,
or
a
ship
tost
in
the
floods
and
tempests
,
in
the
sea
,
and
hath
no
Pilot
to
guide
it
,
or
the
sucking
child
that
hath
no
nurse
to
séed
it
:
in
such
state
are
mens
soules
vnlesse
they
haue
the
Ministery
of
Gods
word
abiding
amongst
them
,
you
are
as
children
,
the
Preacher
is
your
nurse
,
you
are
as
a
ship
tost
with
the
manifold
surges
and
tempests
of
this
trouble
some
world
,
the
preacher
is
your
Pilot
,
safely
to
conduct
you
to
the
barbour
of
rest
,
you
are
as
a
flock
of
shéepe
,
your
preacher
is
your
shepheard
to
lead
you
from
dangerous
bogges
,
to
the
most
wholesome
pastures
of
Gods
sacred
word
.
It
is
therefore
a
most
incomparable
benefit
,
euen
as
much
as
the
saluation
of
mens
soules
,
to
haue
a
learned
culpa
Sacerdotis
ruina

,
in
signification
Concerning
our selues
,
modestie
forbids
me
to
say
much
,
yet
necessitie
inforceth
me
to
say
something
,
it
is
true
indéed
,
neither
I
,
nor
any
man
else
,
with
any
face
,
can
iustifie
all
those
that
are
amongst
vs
,
as
amongst
the
best
orders
that
euer
were
,
so
also
are
there
some
at
this
day
amongst

false

,

which

speake

and
if
they

,
Magus

and
some
Balamits

,
this
is
the
great
cancker
and
calamitie
of
our
time
,
and
no
maruaile
though
it
be
so
amongst

for
even
amongst

that

abbomination

Notwithstanding
,
howsoeuer
our
ministrie
be
debased
or
disgraced
by
some
,
for
these
and
such
like
other
enormities
,
yet
for
all
that
,
this
is
true
,
and
the
iudgement
of
those
which
are
very
wise
,
learned
,
and
of
great
experience
,
and
much
reuerence
,
confirme
the
same
,
there
neuer
was
a
more
sufficient
and
a
more
learned
Clergie
,
then
at
this
day
.
Albeit
in
contention
of
learning
I
may
bée
worst
heard
for
to
speake
,
being
the
most
unlearned
of
all
my
brethren
,
yet
for
all
that
,
we
are
not
so
farre
to
séeke
as
our
aduersaries
would
make
the
world
beléeue
,
as
if
we
were
such
men
which
followed
onely
the
tide
and
streame
of
the
time
and
Parliament
,
religion
as
they
call
it
,
and
had
neuer
séene
,
nor
read
,
nor
saluted
a
farre
of
,
the
Fathers
,
the
Counsels
,
the
Schoolemen
,
or
Ecclesiasticall
histories
.
Saint
Paul
in
a
like
matter
of
comparatiue
contention
betwéene
him
and
the
false
Apostles
,
was
enforced
Hebrew
,
Greeke
,
and
Latin
,
they
haue
read
the
Counsels
,
the
Fathers
,
the
Schoolemen
,
the
Ecclesiasticall
Histories
;
so
haue
we
:
they
haue
studied
the
Artes
and
Sciences
,
so
haue
wee
:
now
if
they
can
be
learned
doing
these
things
,
I
what
infortunate
and
vnhappy
men
are
we
,
which
are
so
vnlearned
,
and
yet
doe
the
same
commonly
this
luck
followeth
all
them
which
are
professors
of
the
truth
.
Now
as
these
men
mislike
,
as
if
we
lacked
learning
,
so
are
there
others
which
mislike
as
much
,
as
though
we
had
more
then
sufficient
to
liue
vpon
,
our
ship
is
tossed
betwéene
two
dangerous
gulphes
,
Scylla
and
Charibdis

the

,
our
Preachers
now
adayes
,
say
they
are
no
better
then
Paul
,
then
Peter
,
then
Iames
,
which
were
poore
men
,
pouertie
with
them
is
a
commendable
estate
,
with
like
deuotion
as
Iudas
did
,
what
néedeth
this
waste
saith
he
,
this
might
haue
béene
sould
for
much
,
and
giuen
to
the
poore
,
not
because
be
had
any
care
of
the
poore
,
but
because
he
was
a
théfe
,
The
world
hath
béene
disposed
to
make
themselues
sport
with
men
of
the
Church
,
as
Dionysius
did
by
Iupiters
Afterwards
,
finding
Aesculapius
his

set
out

O
sir
saith
he
,
you
are
but
a
yong
man
,
there
is
no
reason
that
you
should
haue
a

,
your

hath
none

The
rest
of
the

in

holding

certaine
costly
rich

saith
hee
these

you
doe
well
to

reason
we
vse
the

and
so
leauing
a
scoffe
tooke
the
gold
away
cleane
.
As
he
did
then
so
haue
some
others
done
heretofore
,
I
cannot
say
iustly
speaking
the
truth
that
it
is
done
now
:
the
land
and
yeerely
reuenues
which
our
auncestors
of
renowned
memory
haue
bestowed
vpon
churches
fréely
for
the
maintainance
of
good
learning
and
lawes
,
is
now
altogether
taken
away
from
vs
,
the
good
vse
of
them
,
for
the
euil
abuse
sake
,
this
pale
of
gold
was
too
heauy
for
our
shoulders
,
a
garment
rather
of
Linsiwolsye
must
become
vs
better
,
I
would
God
they
had
giuen
vs
for
it
either
linnen
or
wollen
,
for
then
we
should
haue
seene
by
the
way
of
exchange
to
haue
had
something

And

I
giue

Moses

Aaron
are
ioyned

text
,
and
in
a
100.
places
besides
of
holy
Scripture
,
they
should
neuer
be
made
base
,
by
any
vile
contempt
,
or
abiect
beggery
,
which
follow
kings
so
néere
in
the
word
of
God
.
It
followes
in
the
Text
,
Remember
what
Balaac
the
King
of
Moab
hath
deuised
.
As
touching
the
deuise
of
Balaac
,
it
was
on
this
wise
:
After
that
he
saw
that
he
could
not
induce
Balaim
to
curse
Gods
people
,
he
deuised
a
new
stratageme
by
the
daughters
of
Moab
,
suborned
some
of
them
thorow
their
wanton
allurements
,
to
entice
the
children
of
Israel
to
commit
first
fornication
with
them
,
&
afterwards
Idolatrie
,
that
in
so
dooing
,
they
might
be
brought
to
stincke
in
the
nostrils
of
God
,
and
being
cast
out
of
his
fauour
and
protection
,
be
made
a
present
prey
to
their
enimies
the
nations
.
This
was
the
deuise
of
Balaac
the
King
of
Moab
,
the
end
of
it
was
to
make
hauocke
of
the
people
of
God
,
the
meane
to
effect
it
,
was
first
fornication
,
and
afterwards
idolatry
,
the
instrument
,
a
strange
woman
.
The
deuise
of
Balaac
the
King
of
Moab
,
was
a
deuise
comming
from
flesh
and
bloud
,
and
a
deuise
to
bée
wrought
by
a
speciall
instrument
of
flesh
and
bloud
,
viz.
a
woman
.
The
deuise
of
this
last
trayterous
,
Heathenish
,
vncircumcized
Moabites
,
was
a
deuise
not
comming
from
flesh
and
bloud
,
or
any
humane
nature
,
but
from
the
deuill
and
his
Angels
,
for
séeing
their
doctrine
is
a
doctrine
of
deuils
,
it
followes
accordingly
,
that
their
deuises
,
be
the
deuises
of
deuils
,
as
the
trée
such
is
the
fruit
,
a
proper
kinde
of
religion
which
dispenceth
with
Fornication
,
and
maintaines
rebellions
.
Of
hell
,
the
Prophet
Esay
saith
,
the
nourishment
of
it
is
woode
,
and
much
fire
,
and
the
breath
of
the
Lord
like
a
streame
of
Brimstone
The
Diuell
when
he
threw
downe

vpon
the
children
of

,
threw
it
downe
when
they
were
doyng
il
,
to
wit
,
eating
,
drinking
sporting
,
&
pastiming
,
these
men
,
worse
then
their
father
the
deuill
,
would
haue
blowne
vp
the
Parliament
house
men
being
assembled
together
to
do

,
the
King
,
the

,
the
Cleargie
,
the
nobility
the

,
the

,
all
beeing
assembled
together
in
one
to
set
downe
wholesome
lawes
,
for
the
good
of
Gods
glory
,
quietnes
of
the
church
,
and
peace
of
the
common-wealth
,
what
a
strange
monster
is
treason
,
which
diueth
downe
to
hell
,
and
beneath
hel
,
the
very
bottomelesse
pitte
of
hell
,
for
to
hatch
deuises
:
for
this
is
the
resolution
of
treason
:

The
Poets
fayne
of
Cerberus
the
Dogge
of

,
that
he
is
a
Dogge
of
many
heads
and
we
read
of
Hydra

Serpent
that
he
is
a
Serpent
of

beeing

Treason
the
very
Dogge
of
hell
,
the
verye
head
of
Satanas
,
the
old
subtill
Serpent
is
like
vnto
Hydra
a
Serpent
of
many
heads
,
which
béeing
cutte
off
,
springs
vp
againe
as
fast
as
they
be
cut
off
.
It
is
to
be
wished
,
nay
it
is
to
bée
prayed
for
,
that
the
sword
of
Gods
iustice
may
so
cutte
them
off
,
or
rather
seare
them
vp
in
these
last
Traytors
,
that
they
neuer
spring
vp
againe
,
and
if
they
doe
,
let
them
know
there
is
a
decrée
against
them
more
firme
,
then
the
decrée
of
the
Meads
and
Persians
,
which
neuer
changeth
,
God
shall
wound
the
head
of
his
enemies
,
and
the
hayric
scalpe
of
such
a
one
,
which
goeth
on
still
in
his
wickednesse
.
Remember
what
Balaac
,
the
King
of
Moab
hath
deuised
.
That
which
the
Lord
would
haue
remembred
,
may
not
bée
forgotten
.
Remember
what
these
heathenish
Ethnicall
,
rebellious
Moabites
had
denised
,
seeking
they
sucked
that
deuice
from
the
smoake
&
breath
,
&
brimslone
of
the
Locusts
of
hell
,
I
meane
the
Iesuit
the
fouls
Puritant
Papist
,
remeber
it
therefore
to
al
kind
of
circumstances
,
remember
the
place
,
they
would
haue
blowne
vp
the
Parliament
house
,
a
place
next
the
Temple
consecrated
to
holinesse
:
remember
what
time
,
when
all
the
whole
estate
was
included
in
one
:
remember
the
engine
,
by
fire
and
gunpouder
,
the
fuell
of
hell
:
remember
the
instrument
,
the
one
Sinon
like
,
which
was
in
Vtramque
paratus
,
he
thought
to
purchase
heauen
by
foule
destructions
and
massakers
:
remember
to
what
end
,
Caligula-like
,
at
one
blowe
to
haue
taken
away
both
King
and
state
,
and
roote
and
branch
,
&
Church
and
religion
,
and
common-wealth
and
lawes
.
Can
this
pestilent
deuise
of
this
Heathenish
Moabites
be
forgotten
?
no
,
no
,
it
will
be
remembred
wheresoeuer
it
goes
by
the
marke
of
infamie
.
Ieroboam

against

against

against

that
we
being
the

in
imitating
God
,
may
learne
out
of
euill
for
to

so
it
may
stand
with
the
good
and
Christian
policie
,
to
vse
these
wicked
actions
of
disloyall
men
,
to
make
more
sure
preseruatiues
,
for
godly
Princes
,
and

:

which
speake
not
bloudily
to

,
for
what
hath
the
pulpit
to
do
with
strangling
of
bloud
?
and
I
know
that
this
presence
before
whom
I
stand
,
resembleth
vpon
earth
the
mercy
seat
of
God
,
and
goes
vnwillingly
constrained
,
and
sorrowing
out
of
the
same
,
as
God
himselfe
did
,
when
he
said
,
Ah
I
must
ease
me
of
mine
enemies
,
and
auenge
me
of
mine
aduersaries
,
and
therefore
I
expresse
my
meaning
,
and
pray
,
that
the
deuided
heads
,
and
the
deuided
hearts
,
and
the
deuided
legges
,
and
the
deuided
armes
,
and
the
deuided
quariers
of
these
last
traitors
,
so
iustly
executed
for
their
foule
offence
,
may
ensample
the
whole
world
,
neuer
to
carry
a
deuided
head
,
or
a
deuided
heart
,
nor
a
deuided
part
,
nor
a
deuided
tongue
,
nor
a
deuided

,
nor

against
our
déerest
Soueraigne
.
Notwithstanding
,
so
many
plots
defeated
,
and
so
many
deliuerances
,
deliuerance
vpon
deliuerance
,
wrought
vpon
this
a
most
memorable
day
of
the
wéeke
,
make
the
King
as
confident
as
a
Lion
,
for
he
knowes
,
that
it
is
God
which
hath
set
a
crowne
of
gold
vpon
his
head
.
and
therefore
all
traitors
may
as
well
flie
vpon
the
wings
of
the
winde
,
or
remooue
mountaines
out
of
their
places
,
as
to
depose
and
transplant
the
royall
estate
of
Princes
,
therefore
as
King
Dauid
said
,
so
King
Iames
may
say
,
Thou
hast
made
my
mountaine
so
strong
that
it
cannot
bee
moued
,
yea
although
Gunpowder
lye
vnder
it
.
It
is
a
vaine
thing
for
Mole-hils
to
rise
against
mountaines
,
as
the
same
little
creatures
which
we
call
Wants
or
Moales
,
dig
frenches
,
make
breaches
,
and
raise
hillocks
,
yet
by
certaine
breaches
and
vents
,
and
hillockes
of
their
owne
making
,
they
are
discouered
,
so
to
their
very
letter
,
albeit
these
traitors
did
digge
vnder
the
earth
neuer
so
secretly
,
and
carried
their
conspiracies
neuer
so
couertly
,
yet
by
certaine
vents
and
breaches
of
their
owne
making
,
they
haue
béene
discouered
,
and
as
the
hand
writing
appearing
vnto
Baltasar
,
prognosticated
ruine
and
destruction
vnto
him
,
so
a
hand
writing
comming
from
their selues
,
hath
wrought
confusion
vnto
their
plotte
,
and
I
hope
shall
worke
confusion
to
all
plottes
and
practises
,
issuing
from
all
fancies
and
factions
for
euermore
.
As
touching
the
answer
of
Balaim
to
Balaac
it
was
this
,
Though
Balaac
would
giue
me
this
house
full
of
gold
&
siluer
,
I
connot
passe
the
commandement
of
the
lord
,
as
the
lord
shal
put
in
my
mouth
,
so
will
I
speake
,
I
cannot
passe
the

not

nor
would
not
passe

Popish
Balamites
curseth
them
whom

let

by
the
way
of

whether
they
be
in

whether
they

this

the

In

are
they
stretched
forth
,
as
the
gardens
by
that
riuer
side
,
as
the
Alloe
trees
which
the
lord
hath
planted
,
as
the
Cedar
trees
by
the
riuers
of
water
,
and
therefore
we
care
not
although
the
Pope
curse
vs
,
the
more
the
pope
All
the
woorkes
of
God
are
done
(
how
soeuer
they
bée
done
in
mercie
or
in
iustice
)
to
the
honor
of
Gods
glory
.
Now
the
end
why
he
hath
done
these
and
more
then
these
for
vs
,
is
that
we
may
know
the
righteousnes
of
the
Lord
,
how
good
and
gracious
our
God
is
to
vs
,
that
hée
hath
not
immeasurably
grieued
vs
aboue
that
we
can
conueniently
beare
,
that
he
hath
kept
vs
from
the
noysomnes
of
pestilence
,
biting
téeth
of
famine
,
&
violence
of
sword
,
that
he
hath
fréed
vs
from
the
bondage
&
slauery
of
our
consciences
,
in
comparison
whereof
the
making
of
bricke
in
Egipt
had
bin
very
tollerable
,
that
he
hath
giuen
vs
a
most
milde
,
a
most
peaceable
&
a
most
religious
Moyses
to
gouerne
vs
;
a
learned
&
sufficient
Cleargie
to
instruct
vs
,
that
he
hath
defealed
and
disappointed
cleane
both
Balaac
&
Moab
,
and
all
their
heathenish
deuises
;
and
that
he
hath
turned
the
curse
of
Balaim
into
blessngs
,
and
hath
done
for
vs
more
then
for
any
other
nation
vnder
heauen
,
all
this
hee
hath
done
that
we
may
know
the
righteousnes
of
the
Lord
.
O
that
we
were
wise
,
then
would
we
vnderstand
this
,
we
would
consider
our
latter
ende
,
why
should
God
thus
hem
vs
in
on
euery
side
?
why
should
he
set
vs
still
as
a
signet
on
his
right
hand
?
why
should
he
thus
tender
vs
as
the
apple
of
his
eye
?
why
should
he
deale
otherwise
with
vs
then
with
the
rest
of
the
nations
?
our
part
,
our
messe
,
hath
bin
Beniamins
messe
,
fiue
times
asmuch
as
the
rest
of
our
brethren
.
In
euery
one
of
these
things
,
God
knocketh
still
at
the
doore
of
euery
one
of
our
consciences
,
he
would
come
in
to
vs
,
&
he
would
sup
with
vs
,
he
hath
besought
vs
for
these
many
yeares
,
euen
as
a
father
his
children
,
&
as
a
mother
her
daughters
,
&
as
a
nurse
her
babes
,
that
we
would
be
his
people
,
as
he
is
our
God
,
&
that
we
would
be
his
children
as
he
is
our
father
,
or
despise
we
the
riches
of
the
bountifulnes
and
patience
,
and
long
sufferance
of
God
,
not
knowing
that
the
bountifulnes
of
God
leadeth
vs
to
repentance
?
or
if
not
so
?
I
feare
me
he
may
say
of
vs
as
heretofore
he
did
say
of
them
,
he
that
should
haue
bin
vpright
when
he
waxed
fat
sporned
with
his
héele
thou
art
fatte
thou
art
grosse
,
thou
art
loaden
with
fatnes
,
therefore
they
forsooke
.
God
that
made
them
,
and
regarded
not
the
strong
hold
of
his
saluation
,
God
hath
as
aboundantly
blessed
vs
,
as
euer
he
did
the
Jewish
nation
,
with
whom
he
contested
so
earnestly
in
this
place
,
if
wee
deale
as
vnthankfully
with
him
as
they
did
before
vs
,
we
which
know
what
hath
befallen
them
,
cannot
be
ignorant
what
in
time
may
befall
vs
.
God
of
his
infinite
mercie
,
for
his
deare
son
Iesus
Christ
his
sake
,
graunt
that
our
end
be
not
worse
then
our
beginning
,
and

hitherto
hath
bin
thou
O
Lord
hast
sent
forth
strength
for
vs

stablish
the
thing
which
thou
hast
wrought
in
vs
for
thy
temple
sake
,
O
Lord
God
at
Ierusalem

O
giue
saluation
vnto
Israel
out
of
Sion
,
&
perpetuate
the

,
kéepe
vs
,
&
preserue
vs
vnder
the
shadowe
of
thy
wings
from
this
time
forth
for
euermore
.
If
it
be
thy
will
from
the
noysomnes
of
Pestilence
that
it

from
the
biting
teeth
of

that
they

from
the
violence
of
Sword
that

&
as
by

hand
thou
hest
deliuered

so
keepe

pray
thee

that

that

O
let

23.
Whatsoeuer
you
shall
aske
the
Father
in
the
Sonnet
name
,
shall
be
giuen
vnto
you
.
A
Promise
wée
haue
in
these
words
,
more
excellent
,
more
certaine
,
and
more
vniuersall
,
then
euer
as
yet
hath
come
,
or
euer
at
any
time
can
come
out
of
the
mouth
of
any
prince
or
Monarch
,
vniuersall
,
for
that
it
promised
all
,
and
excluded
nothing
,
more
certaine
,
for
that
he
promiseth
which
neuer
deceiued
,
Dabit
vobis
,
what
so
frée
as
gift
?
most
high
and
excellent
,
because
he
promised
to
giue
from
the
highest
,
a
Patre
,
from
the
Father
.
Out
of
the
coafer
the
treasure
may
be
taken
,
the
coafer
is
as
it
were
the
Father
,
the
treasure
is
all
grace
,
quicquid
:
the
Key
in
nomine
meo
,
will
open
to
this
treasure
.
From
the
cipher
letter
,
the
sense
is
to
be
found
,
the
letter
is
as
it
were
the
father
,
therefore
aske
the
father
,
the
sense
is
all
grace
,
quicquid
,
the
expositor
in
nomine
meo
,
will
finde
out
the
sense
.
Therefore
that
yée
pray
,
and
pray
effectually
in
your
prayers
.
1.
Know
whom
you
are
to
aske
.
2.
What
things
you
are
to
aske
.
3.
And
what
maner
you
are
to
aske
.
1.
Whom
you
must
aske
,
the
father
,
petite
patrem
.
2.
What
things
you
must
aske
,
quid
,
or
quicquid
,
that
which
is
worthy
of
the
name
of
a
thing
.
3.
In
what
maner
,
in
nomine
meo
,
in
the
sonnes
name
:
of
euery
one
of
these
,
and
first
of
the
person
whom
we
must
aske
,
and
that
is
the
father
,
petite
patrem
.
The
most
mercifull
name
of
father
in
holy
Scripture
,
giueth
vs
many
things
to
vnderstand
in
God
,
to
wit
,
assentialitie
,
eternitie
,
antiquitie
.
1.
Generation
,
spiration
,
production
.
2.
Predestination
,
prouidence
,
gouernment
.
3.
Creation
,
disposition
,
distinction
.
4.
Adoption
,
guvernation
,
education
.
5.
Instruction
,
redargution
,
correction
,
many
more
remaine
.
But
principally
in
asking
graces
,
the
name
of
father
implieth
two
things
,
which
we
ought
alwayes
to
set
before
our
eyes
in
prayer
,
to
wit
,
the
power
of
God
,
&
the
will
of
God
,
the
might
of
God
,
and
the
mercy
of
God
,
his
great
abilitie
,
and
his
great
loue
;
for
so
it
falleth
out
amongst
men
,
in
asking
any
thing
of
a
man
,
I
consider
whether
he
can
do
it
of
his
power
,
and
if
he
can
do
it
of
his
power
,
whether
he
will
do
it
of
his
loue
,
and
so
it
is
with
God
.
Therefore
these
two
conceits
of
power
and
will
,
of
might
&
mercie
,
Mary
Magdalen
had
when
she
prayed
These
two
conceits
of
power
and
will
,
the
Leaper
had
when
he
prayed
,
Lord
if
thou
wilt
thou
canst
make
me
cleane
,
vis
,
there
is
the
will
:
potes
,
there
is
the
power
:
and
our
Sauiour
answered
to
both
,
to
the
will
,
volo
,
to
the
power
,
mundare
,
in
the
Imperatiue
moode
.
These
two
conceits
of
power
and
will
,
of
might
and
mercie
,
our
Sauiour
himselfe
had
when
he
praied
;
Father
,
althings
are
possible
vnto
thee
,
if
thou
wilt
let
this
cup
passe
away
from
me
:
All
things
are
possible
vnto
Here
the
Prophet
Dauid
doth
will
,
that
men
ioyne
together
in
their
prayers
,
these
two
;
Semel
loquutus
est
Dominus
duo
haec
audiui
:
God
spake
once
,
and
heard
these
two
things
from
his
mouth
;
Power
belongeth
vnto
God
,
and
mercie
vnto
the
Lord
,
for
that
he
will
render
to
euery
one
according
to
his
workes
,
note
it
:
God
speaketh
onely
one
thing
,
he
willeth
me
in
my
prayers
to
call
him
father
:
but
by
this
one
word
father
,
he
will
haue
me
to
vnderstand
two
things
,
his
power
&
his
loue
,
his
might
,
&
his
mercy
.
And
as
touching
the
power
,
who
is
more
able
then
the
father
.
1.
The
father
can
do
euery
thing
in
his
sonne
.
2.
The
father
of
the
houshold
in
the
familie
.
3.
The
father
of
heauen
in
heauen
.
4.
The
father
of
the
world
in
the
world
.
5.
The
father
of
all
can
do
euery
thing
in
all
.
And
as
touching
the
will
,
who
loueth
more
then
a
father
,
and
what
naturall
father
so
much
as
our
spirituall
and
heauenly
father
?
If
you
being
euill
(
saith
our
Sauiour
Christ
)
can
giue
your
children
good
things
,
if
so
bee
they
aske
them
,
how
much
more
shall
your
heauenly
father
giue
you
good
things
,
if
so
be
you
desire
them
?
Wherefore
as
the
wittie
Bées
,
when
they
go
about
to
make
their
swéete
hony-combes
,
licke
first
vpon
the
swéetest
flowers
of
the
fields
and
gardens
of
the
world
,
and
then
carry
the
swéete
ioyce
into
their
hiues
,
so
before
you
enter
to
your
prayers
,
fixe
your
cogitations
vpon
these
two
swéet
flowers
of
power
and
loue
,
which
you
finde
in
the
name
of
the
father
,
and
then
carrie
the
pure
ioyce
of
them
into
the
inward
hiues
of
your
soules
and
consciences
,
and
so
shall
you
make
a
most
precious
hony-combe
of
all
spirituall
deuotion
.
The
consideration
of
these
two
things
,
will
bréed
in
vs
two
other
things
,
1.
humilitie
,
out
of
the
consideration
of
the
power
of
a
father
.
2.
Confidence
out
of
the
consideration
of
the
loue
of
a
father
.
A
most
potent
father
,
but
to
so
great
mightinesse
what
profound
humilitie
will
be
sufficient
.
The
Prophet
Dauid
,
to
humble
himselfe
in
his
Prayers
,
sometimes
reckoneth
vp
his
naturall
defects
,
as
where
he
I
am
a
worme
and
no
man
,
a
very
scorne
and
derision
amongst
men
:
sometimes
his
originall
sinne
,
as
where
he
saith
;
I
was
borne
in
wickednesse
,
and
in
sinne
hath
my
mother
conceiued
me
:
Sometimes
his
actuall
sinnes
,
as
where
he
saith
,
We
haue
sinned
with
our
Fathers
,
we
haue
done
wickedly
.
And
how
many
things
are
there
to
humble
vs
before
the
maiestie
of
God
?
speake
we
one
word
,
make
we
one
becke
thinke
we
one
thought
,
but
in
God
and
from
God
,
in
him
we
liue
and
moue
and
haue
out
being
.
O
poore
wretched
miserable
beggers
that
we
are
,
that
which
a
great
King
said
of
himselfe
may
be
said
of
any
,
Ego
autem
mendicus
sum
,
let
vs
aske
then
as
beggers
,
acknowledging
petite
patrem
,
let
vs
aske
that
father
with
great
renerence
euen
for
this
,
because
hee
is
a
father
of
great
power
,
pater
potestatis
,
aske
the
father
with
great
reuerence
,
because
he
is
a
father
of
great
power
,
aske
the
father
with
great

because

Can
my
faults
,
can
my
defects
,
can
my
vanities
set
a
barre
against
me
,
and
the
father
?
I
set
against
my
faults
the
mercy
of
the
father
,
against
my
defects
the
merits
of
the
sonne
,
against
my
vanities
,
the
inward
comfort
and
consolation
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
therefore
I
implore
,
I
beséech
,
I
intreat
I
importune
,
I
am
instant
,
in
season
and
out
of
season
onely
let
not
my
heart
condemne
mee
of
any
soule
or
grosse
thing
,
and
then
praying
to
the
father
in
Thrists
name
,
and
for
such
a
thing
as
I
ought
to
do
,
I
shall
be
sure
to
obtaine
:
so
the
holy
Scripture
,
Si
cor
nostrum
nos
non
reprehendit
,
tunc
fiduciam
habemus
apud
Deum
.
Haue
you
euer
marked
that
when
you
would
looke
vpon
the
sunne
,
your
eyes
béeing
not
able
to
behold
so
great
a
light
,
yee
vse
the
defence
of
your
hands
,
and
the
same
sunne
causeth
the
reflection
of
a
shadow
from
both
your
hands
vnto
your
breasts
,
I
must
tell
you
,
God
the
Father
is
the
true
bright
cleare
sunne
,
vnto
whom
you
may
not
approach
with
so
confident
an
eye
to
aske
graces
,
without
the
interposition
of
these
two
hands
of
power
and
leue
,
which
you
haue
in
the
name
of
Father
,
and
the
interposition
of
these
too
,
will
cause
a
shadow
to
reflect
vpon
your
breast
,
that
is
,
will
worke
in
you
good
desires
,
good
purposes
,
and
vertuous
actions
whiles
out
of
the
consideration
of
the
power
of
the
father
,
riseth
humility
,
and
out
of
the
consideration
of
the
loue
of
the
Father
riseth
confidence
,
these
are
2.
legges
,
2.
armes
,
2.
wings
which
will
carry
vs
into
heauen
,
two
things
very
néedefull
and
necessary
in
our
prayers
,
and
both
are
produced
in
considering
God
as
a
Father
.
Secunda
pars
.
But
to
rise
a
point
higher
,
from
the
person
whom
we
must
aske
,
to
the
thing
what
wee
must
aske
,
what
may
we
aske
,
nap
what
thing
may
we
not
be
bould
to

And
for
this
cause
we
Christians
,
though
we
be
poore
,
yet
are
we
the
richest
of
all
other
Creatures
,
note

for
Cattell

,
nature

wee

All
vniuersalitye
is
in
this
word
quicquid
,
or
si
quid
,
wée
may
aske
and
obtaine
it
,
so
that
it
bée
quid
,
that
is
worthye
of
the
name
of
a
thing
,
now
hée
that
prayeth
God
will
further
him
in
his
sinnes
,
prayeth
not
for
quid
,
but
for
nihil
,
Sine
ipso
factum
est
nihil
,
God
made
not
sinne
,
so
doth
Saint
Austine
conster
it
,
Sinne
destroyeth
in
vs
the
true
quid
,
which
is
goodnesse
,
and
maketh
a
man
as
nothing
,
or
worse
then
nothing
,
Quia
melius
nihil
esse
quam
infaeliciter
Therefore
it
is
said
of
the
child
of
perdition
,
that
it
had
béene
good
for
him
he
had
neuer
béene
borne
:
that
man
therefore
that
prayeth
that
GOD
will
helpe
him
in
his
sinnes
shall
not
bée
heard
,
because
hée
asketh
not
quid
,
but
nihil
,
witnesse
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
Si
iniquitates
asperunt
in
corde
meo
,
dominus
non
exaudiet
,
If
there
be
any
iniquity
in
my
heart
,
the
Lord
will
not
heare
me
.
Againe
,
note
farther
,
not
onely
hée
that
asketh
not
quid
,
receiueth
not
quid
,
but
hée
that
asketh
nihil
,
receiueth
nihil
,
hée
that
asketh
nothing
,
receiueth
nothing
,
he
that
asketh
sinne
,
receiueth
sinne
,
for
in
asking
a
sinne
,
he
committeth
a
new
sinne
,
and
so
his
very
prayers
are
turned
into
sinne
,
according
to
that
in
the
Psalme
,
Fiat
oratio
eius
in
peccatum
,
Let
his
praier
be
turned
into
sinne
.
In
an
other
sense
doth
Gregory
the
great
expound
this
word
,
this
word
quicquid
,
as
si
quid
,
that
is
,
that
ye
aske
quid
,
&
not
quale
,
that
is
,
that
ye
aske
substances
&
not
accidents
,
that
is
,
that
ye
aske
substantiall
things
,
and
not
vayne
things
,
that
is
,
that
yee
aske
permanent
things
,
and
not
transitory
things
,
for
all
these
corporall
and
worldly
things
beeing
compared
to
spirituall
and
eternall
things
,
are
not
quid
,
but
quale
,
vanities
,
toyes
,
leaues
,
trifles
,
shadows
,
smoke
,
nay
that
are
nothing
,
or
very
neere
nothing
,
they
are
the
nihil
,
or
very
neere
to
the
nihil
,
I
say
,
and
will
proue
it
.
1.
Either
nothing
for
this
cause
,
because
manye
in
séeking
after
them
by
sundry
feares
&
cares
,
and
turmoyles
,
and
tumults
,
and
labours
,
&
vexations
,
do
waste
and
consume
their
vitall
spirits
,
and
so
bring
themselues
to
nothing
,
according
to
that
of
S.
Austine
,
propter
talia
se
homines
ānihilant
imitando
,
insidiando
,
machinando
,
bellando
.
2.
Or
nothing
for
this
cause
,
because
they
auaile
and
helpe
vs
nothing
in
the
fearfull
triall
of
examination
,
and
seueritie
of
iudgment
,
according
to
the
censure
of
the
Psalmist
,
Dormierunt
somnum
suum
&
nihil
inuenerunt
:
3.
Or
nothing
for
this
cause
,
because
they
neuer
satiate
or
content
the
soule
,
for
the
soule
hauing
receiued
many
of
them
,
desireth
still
to
receiue
more
of
them
,
as
if
she
had
receiued
nothing
at
all
,
according
to
that
experiment
,
which
Salomon
found
to
be
true
in
his
owne
heart
.
The
eye
is
not
satisfied
with
seeing
,
nor
the
eare
with
Mardochay
.
All
this
can
nothing
auaile
me
,
saith
he
,
as
long
as
I
see
Mardochaie
the
Iew
sitting
at
the
Kings
gate
.
Can
pleasures
satiate
the
soule
?
Salomon
had
his
eyes
,
his
eares
,
his
hands
,
his
heart
,
full
of
pleasure
,
and
yet
he
cries
out
:
All
things
are
full
of
labour
,
and
man
cannot
expresse
them
,
can
riches
satiate
the
soule
?
Of
&
against
couetous
rich
men
,
God
saith
:
Yee
eate
and
are
not
filled
,
yee
drinke
and
are
not
satisfied
,
yee
cloth
,
yee
,
and
yee
are
not
warmed
,
he
that
earneth
money
,
putteth
the
same
into
a
bottomlesse
bagge
.
Can
humane
learning
,
can
learning
satiate
the
soule
?
the
Philosophers
excelled
in
this
,
yet
Saint
Paul
obbraideth
them
,
where
is
the
scribe
,
where
is
the
learned
,
where
is
the
disputer
of
this
Vnus
Pilleo
iuueni
non
sufficit
orbis
.
For
de
opibus
praua
,
of
riches
comes
wicked
thinges
,
de
voluptatibus
turpia
,
of
pleasures
comes
filthie
things
,
de
honoribus
vana
,
of
honors
comes
vaine
thinges
,
all
Et

et

And
therefore
for
honors
and
riches
and
treasures
and
pleasures
,
and
health
,
and
wealth
,
and
prosperitie
,
wée
pray
not
absolutely
but
conditionally
,
so
farre
forth
as
they
tend
to
the
true
quid
,
that
is
to
the
glory
of
God
,
&
bettering
of
our
soules
,
for
that
petition
for
temporall
things
,
Panem
nostrum
quotidianum
da
nobis
,
hath
alwayes
a
reference
to
the
other
petitions
for
grace
and
glory
:
idueniat
regnum
tuum
,
fiat
voluntas
tua
,
to
shut
vp
all
in
one
,
if
ye
aske
that
which
is
euill
,
you
sinne
and
aske
nothing
,
in
that
ye
aske
that
which
is
worse
then
nothing
,
if
ye
aske
temporary
things
only
,
ye
erre
,
because
ye
aske
not
the
substantial
quid
,
but
accidental
quale
,
shadowes
not
substances
,
if
ye
aske
them
in
a
disorderly
manner
,
preferring
temporall
things
before
spirituall
things
,
you
aske
amisse
,
because
you
would
imploy
them
vpon
your
lusts
.
If
you
aske
them
conditionally
,
so
farre
foorth
as
they
tend
to
the
true
quid
,
to
the
good
of
the
glory
of
God
,
and
saluation
of
the
soule
:
you
aske
that
which
by
good
vsage
may
be
made
quid
,
although
in
it selfe
it
Lord
saue
thy
people
:
for
grace
,
And
blesse
thine
inheritance
:
for
perseuerance
,
And
gouerne
them
:
for
glorie
,
And
lift
them
vp
for
euer
.
Thrée
things
you
may
aske
which
are
the
true
quid
:
Mercie
for
that
which
is
past
,
Grace
for
the
present
,
and
illumination
for
the
future
.
In
the
Psalme
which
is
sayde
in
the
Euening
prayer
,
yée
haue
all
these
:
for
that
which
is
past
,
God
bee
mercifull
vnto
vs
:
for
that
which
is
present
,
And
blesse
vs
:
for
that
which
is
to
come
,
And
shew
the
light
of
thy
countenance
vpon
vs
.
Two
things
yée
may
aske
which
are
the
true
quid
,
to
eschew
euill
,
and
doe
good
,
Declinare
a
malo
,
facere
bonum
,
What
will
yée
that
the
quid
be
one
and
singular
?
Heare
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
Vnum
petij
a
Domino
,
One
thing
haue
I
desired
of
the
Lord
,
and
I
will
not
cease
to
require
the
same
,
that
I
may
dwell
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
to
behold
the
beautie
of
his
countenance
,
and
to
visit
his
Temple
:
But
in
this
one
thing
there
are
all
things
:
And
therefore
as
Saint
Austine
saieth
;
Ama
vnum
bonum
in
quo
sunt
omnia
bona
,
Loue
one
thing
,
in
which
are
all
things
:
Pete
vnum
bonum
,
in
quo
sunt
omnia
bona
,
and
yée
haue
enough
.
For
1
▪
if
ye
be
delighted
with
beautie
,
here
the
iust
shall
rise
,
and
shall
shine
as
the
firmament
;
and
they
that
lead
many
vnto
righteousnesse
,
shall
shine
as
the
starres
for
euer
&
euer
,
2.
if
with
a
long
and
healthfull
life
,
here
shall
be
healthfull
eternitie
,
and
euerlasting
sanitie
,
for
the
bodies
of
the
Saints
shall
liue
for
euer
,
and
their
health
is
from
the
Lord
.
3.
If
for
fulnesse
and
satietie
,
here
the
Saints
of
God
shall
be
made
drunken
Dauid
▪
and
yée
haue
asked
the
true
essentiall
quid
,
in
which
are
all
things
,
and
so
much
of
the
second
.
Pars
tertia
.
In
the
third
place
,
I
obserued
the
meane
how
wée
come
to
obtaine
all
those
things
which
is
néedefull
and
behooueable
for
vs
,
and
that
is
by
offering
vp
our
prayers
in
the
sonnes
name
.
In
the
same
little
instruments
which
are
made
with
many
whéeles
,
one
within
the
other
,
and
each
of
them
hauing
imprinted
vpon
them
sondry
letters
,
vntill
you
turne
them
forward
and
backward
,
in
such
sort
,
that
the
straight
line
do
direct
to
euery
letter
,
it
is
impossible
that
the
order
of
opening
shold
be
disclosed
or
that
drawne
out
which
is
fast
inclosed
.
The
Father
is
the
fountaine
and
original
of
graces
,
from
the
aboundance
of
whose
streame
,
all
manner
of
grace
and
goodnesse
doth
flowe
,
so
sayth
Saint
Iames
,
Euery
good
and
perfect
gift
commeth
from
aboue
,
and
proceedeth
from
the
Father
of
lights
,
howbeit
as
Saint
Paul
saith
,
He
dwelleth
in
the
light
which
no
man
can
attaine
vnto
to
discouer
him
,
therefore
vnto
vs
,
and
to
open
all
the
treasure
inclosed
in
him
,
behold
the
straight
line
,
behold
the
true
letter
,
Petite
in
nomine
meo
,
aske
in
Christs
name
,
and
you
shall
obtaine
.
But
here
it
may
be
demaunded
what
it
is
to
aske
in
Christs
name
,
Chrisostome
saith
,
that
then
we
aske
in
the
name
of
Iesus
,
which
signifies
saluation
,
when
as
we
aske
nothing
else
,
but
that
which
appertaineth
to
saluation
,
S.
Austine
saith
,
that
then
we
aske
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
which
signifieth
annointed
when
as
we
are
annointed
in
the
faith
and
vertues
of
Christ
:
the
word
Nomen
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
sometimes
signifieth
authority
,
as
to
baptize
in
the
name
of
Christ
is
to
baptize
out
of
the
authority
of
Christ
:
sometimes
to
haue
such
a
name
,
signifieth
to
be
such
an
one
as
his
name
shal
be
called
Emanuel
,
that
is
by
interpretation
God
with
vs
,
somtimes
the
word
name
is
taken
for
the
vertue
of
the
merit
of
Christ
,
as
where
it
is
said
,
At
the
name
of
Iesu
Christ
,
euery
knee
shall
bowe
,
the
things
in
heauen
,
the
things
in
earth
,
and
vnderneath
the
earth
,
That
is
,
giue
thankes
for
the
vertue
of
Christs
merit
,
Angels
in
heauen
shall
bowe
their
knees
,
for
that
implentur
ruinas
,
there
seates
are
filled
vp
,
and
men
on
earth
,
for
that
their
sinnes
are
remitted
,
and
the
bodies
of
faithfull
persons
vnder
the
earth
,
for
that
they
are
to
be
restored
to
the
fulnesse
of
life
,
and
therefore
with
Cirrell
I
take
the
word
,
Nomen
,
in
the
last
sense
for
the
vertue
&
merite
of
Christ
,
and
say
that
Petere
patrem
in
nomine
Christi
,
Is
to
desire
him
,
not
to
looke
vpon
any
vnworthinesse
in
vs
,
but
vppon
the
worthinesse
of
his
sonne
,
Respice
in
faciem
Christi
tui
.
Thus
you
sée
,
it
is
not
enough
in
your
prayers
to
aske
such
a
one
,
that
is
such
a
person
,
such
a
goodnesse
,
or
such
a
gift
,
or
such
a
grace
,
but
you
must
haue
a
speciall
care
in
vertue
,
of
whose
merit
you
aske
that
gift
,
not
in
the
vertue
of
the
merit
of
Patriarke
,
or
Prophet
,
Angell
or
Archangell
,
Saint
,
or
Saints
,
but
in
the
vertue
of
the
merit
,
and
satisfaction
of
Christ
Iesus
in
nomine
meo
,
there
is
the
meane
.
The
Prophet
Dauid
vseth
many
arguments
and
reasons
,
by
the
which
(
as
he
thinkes
)
hee
might
and
should
preuaile
with
God
in
his
prayers
,
of
the
which
some
are
drawne
from
GOD
,
some
from
himselfe
,
others
from
externall
things
.
1.
From
GOD
,
heare
me
O
Lord
for
that
thou
art
mighty
,
heare
mée
for
thy
mercye
sake
,
heare
me
for
that
thou
vsest
to
take
compassion
,
heare
mée
that
thou
mightest
bée
iustified
in
thy
sayings
.
2.
From
himselfe
heare
me
,
for
that
in
comparison
of
others
,
I
may
séeme
to
bée
righteous
,
heare
me
for
that
I
haue
washed
my
handes
in
innocencie
,
heare
,
mée
for
my
soule
trusteth
in
thée
,
heare
mée
for
that
I
am
abandoned
of
all
others
.
3.
From
externall
things
,
heare
me
for
the
reproach
of
the
enemy
,
heare
me
,
why
should
hee
tryumph
this
day
ouer
mée
,
heare
me
,
why
should
he
say
to
my
soule
there
,
there
,
so
would
we
haue
it
,
heare
me
,
why
should
the
enemy
blaspheme
thée
thus
dayly
?
thus
the
deuout
king
Dauid
laboured
by
all
possible
meanes
,
to
preuaile
with
God
in
his
prayers
.
But
to
say
truely
,
we
haue
a
more
pregnant
and
vrgent
motiue
to
obtaine
at
Gods
handes
,
and
that
is
Petere
patrem
in
nomine
Christi
,
a
name
which
the
Sinagogue
neuer
vsed
for
ordinary
,
for
they
neuer
went
higher
then
to
pray
,
propter
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
et
Iacob
:
Respice
in
faciem
Christi
tui
,
nay
the
Apostles
themselues
were
not
come
to
this
high
manner
of
praying
as
to
aske
in
Christs
name
:
And
therefore
our
Sauiour
tells
them
in
this
Chapter
:
Vsque
modo
nihil
petieritis
,
hitherto
ye
haue
asked
nothing
in
my
name
,
and
exhorteth
them
,
aske
and
ye
shal
obtaine
.
And
as
the
Apostles
of
Christ
,
so
the
Church
of
the
Apostles
,
learned
to
offer
vp
theyr
prayers
in
the
name
of
Christ
:
concluding
euery
prayer
and
Collect
as
you
may
sée
in
the
communion
booke
with
this
clause
,
Per
Iesum
Christum
Dominum
nostrum
,
Through
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
O
most
bountifull
Lord
of
whom
we
may
say
.
Petimus
te
,
per
te
,
et
propter
te
.
Wee
aske
To
make
your
prayers
to
bee
effectuall
,
many
conditions
are
to
bée
required
.
1.
Let
your
prayers
bée
fitly
and
aptly
prepared
,
for
a
medicine
which
is
prepared
,
helpeth
,
and
not
prepared
,
hurteth
.
2.
Let
it
bée
innocent
and
pure
for
the
spouse
then
pleaseth
the
Bridgrome
best
,
when
shee
is
a
Virgin
,
and
beautifull
▪
3.
Let
it
be
mentall
and
votall
,
as
occasion
is
offered
,
for
deuotion
like
the
fire
of
Willowe
,
vnlesse
it
be
blowne
,
it
will
goe
out
and
die
.
4.
Let
it
bee
well
desposed
and
quiet
,
for
the
harmonie
delighteth
not
where
there
is
a
noyse
.
5.
Let
it
be
discreete
and
wary
,
for
salte
is
alway
conuenient
to
a
sacrifice
.
6.
Let
it
be
faithfull
and
humble
,
for
humilitie
aduanceth
vs
,
and
faith
maketh
God
to
stoupe
.
7.
Let
it
be
lifted
vp
on
high
,
for
a
pigme
must
be
lifted
vp
aboue
his
owne
measure
,
to
talke
with
a
giant
.
8.
Let
it
be
deuout
and
sincere
,
for
the
incense
vnlesse
it
bée
put
on
fire
sinelleth
not
.
9.
Let
it
be
forcible
and
strong
,
for
the
darte
with
the
more
force
it
is
cast
,
the
farther
it
flieth
,
and
déeper
it
pierseth
.
10.
Let
it
be
full
of
loue
and
ardent
,
for
the
Iron
burning
,
pierseth
more
then
when
it
is
colde
.
11.
Let
it
be
moist
and
wéeping
,
for
with
that
temperature
the
hardest
stone
is
dissolued
.
12.
Let
it
bée
bold
and
importune
,
for
the
silly
whelpe
after
the
repulses
,
obtaineth
the
morsels
at
his
masters
table
.
13.
In
a
word
to
say
all
,
let
it
be
in
Christes
name
,
for
an
oyntment
powred
forth
,
made
the
whole
house
to
smell
,
and
Christs
name
is
an
oyntment
powred
forth
,
oloum
effusum
nomen
tuum
,
not
only
an
oyntment
,
as
holy
Barnard
well
noteth
,
quia
lucet
praedicatum
,
for
it
shineth
while
it
is
preached
,
pascit
●ecogitatum
,
for
that
it
féedeth
,
whilest
it
is
thought
vpon
,
lenet
inuocatum
,
for
that
it
quieteth
the
conscience
whiles
it
is
called
vpon
,
but
oloum
effusum
,
an
oyntment
powrod
forth
powred
forth
,
for
that
maiestie
tooke
vpon
it
,
humility
,
power
tooke
vpon
it
infernitie
.
The
mightie
GOD
became
the
prince
of
peace
,
the
wounderfull
became
the
councellor
,
Ego
dominus
,
et
ego
dominus
,
became
misericors
,
et
miserator
Dominus
,
powred
forth
vpon
men
,
vpon
Angles
,
vpon
Saints
,
vpon
sinners
,
vpon
bonde
,
vpon
frée
,
vpon
male
and
female
;
powred
forth
from
heauen
vnto
earth
,
from
the
east
to
the
west
,
from
the
Iewes
to
the
gentles
,
from
the
Grecians
to
the
Barbarians
,
from
the
knowen
word
,
to
the
vnkowen
world
,
from
Ierusalem
,
to
Tubal
,
and
Iapan
,
the
Isles
a
farre
off
,
powred
forth
like
the
oyle
of
the
widowes
cruse
of
Sa●repta
,
tooke
greater
aduantage
,
for
of
one
Christ
,
is
risen
a
whole
world
of
Christians
,
powres
forth
like
the
pretious
oyntment
which
ranne
downe
Arons
beard
,
vnto
the
skirts
of
his
garment
,
for
we
haue
all
receiued
of
his
fulnesse
,
grace
for
grace
:
powred
forth
,
for
the
holy
oyntment
of
the
Arke
of
Gods
Testament
,
the
sauor
and
swéetnesse
of
that
oyntment
,
drew
on
all
the
Iewes
to
follow
the
Arke
,
and
the
swéete
sauor
of
Christs
vertues
,
had
drawne
on
all
the
world
in
the
name
of
the
sonne
to
worship
the
father
.
Petite

,
Aske
in
my

,
a

a

,
a

,
a

,
a

,
his

shall
be
called
wonderfull
,

,
the
mightie
God
,
the
euerlasting

,
the
prince
of

,
a
name
of
Maiestie
at
the
name
of
Iesus
Christ
,
euery
knée
shall

,
the

and

,
a

,
there
is
no
name
giuen
vs
vnder

,
by
the
which
we
may
be
saued
,
but
only
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
Iesu
Christ
,
a
name
of
glory
,
in
him
are
hid
all
the
treasures
of
wisdome
,
knowledge
and
vnderstanding
,
because
it
pleaseth
the
father
that
in
him
all
fulnesse
should
dwell
.
Petite
in
nomine
meo
,
aske
in
my
name
,
which
hath
bin
derided
by
the
Gentles
,
scorned
of
the
Iewes
,
abused
of
the
Heretickes
,
persecuted
by
tyrants
,
and
trembled
at
by
the
diuels
,
but
within
short
time
shall
eate
idolatry
from
the
Gentles
,
superstition
from
the
Iewes
,
the
Church
vsurped
from
the
heretickes
,
the
fiercenesse
to
shed
blood
from
tyrants
,
and
the
very
seates
of
heauen
from
the
reprobate
flocks
of
diuels
,
Aske
in
my
name
,
and
yee
shall
receiue
,
and
my
heauenly
father
Dabit

shall
giue
vnto
you
.
You
will
say
perchance
,
yée
haue
asked
many
times
in
this
name
,
yet
haue
not
béene
heard
:
but
I
say
vnto
you
,
that
yée
were
more
then
heard
,
when
as
it
séemed
vnto
you
yée
were
not
heard
.
Foure
wayes
there
bée
by
the
which
God
imparteth
his
fauour
and
goodnesse
,
and
graces
vnto
vs
.
1.
By
deferring
grace
.
2.
By
changing
grace
.
3.
By
denying
grace
.
And
4.
by
kindling
our
zeale
to
aske
grace
.
What
saith
the
zealous
man
and
woman
?
that
they
haue
praied
for
feruor
of
spirit
,
and
could
not
be
heard
,
yée
but
if
God
hath
giuen
vnto
them
to
be
sorrowfull
,
with
a
godly
sorrow
,
for
the
wante
of
this
feruour
,
behold
grace
granted
vnto
them
,
by
deferring
of
grace
.
2.
What
say
the
sonnes
of
Zebedie
?
that
they
haue
asked
dextram
&
sinistram
,
and
could
not
be
heard
yée
but
if
God
hath
giuen
vnto
them
,
to
drinke
of
the
bitter
cup
of
his
passion
,
that
for
this
they
might
receiue
a
greater
crowne
of
glory
,
behold
grace
giuen
by
changing
of
grace
.
3.
What
sales
the
luxurious
?
what
say
the
wantons
?
what
say
the
ambitious
?
what
say
the
couetous
?
that
they
haue
asked
pleasures
,
and
honours
,
and
riches
,
and
could
not
be
heard
:
I
but
if
God
had
giuen
them
,
they
would
haue
mispent
them
vpon
the
lewd
shamefull
lusts
,
behold
grace
here
giuen
by
denying
of
grace
.
4.
What
say
the
hipocrits
,
the
worldlings
,
the
Athiests
?
that
they
haue
prayed
in
his
name
,
and
could
not
be
heard
:
I
but
they
prayed
faithlessely
,
I
but
they
praied
coldly
,
I
but
they
prayed
Kemissely
:
when
they
shall
pray
faithfully
,
and
feruently
,
and
deuoutly
,
they
shall
be
heard
,
behold
grace
here
granted
,
in
quickning
our
zeale
to
aske
grace
.
And
surely
that
oftentimes
yée
aske
and
do
not
receiue
,
yée
séeke
and
doe
not
finde
,
yée
knocke
and
it
is
not
opened
vnto
you
,
either
it
is
because
when
yée
pray
,
yée
curse
,
and
that
is
,
to
say
the
Popes
and
deuils
Pater
noster
:
or
else
it
is
,
because
yée
aske
amisse
,
as
Saint
Iames
saith
:
or
else
it
is
because
although
yée
aske
honest
things
enough
,
yet
not
according
to
Gods
will
,
as
Saint
Paul
did
:
or
else
it
is
because
yée
pray
vainly
,
as
Zebedeus
the
wise
did
,
or
else
it
is
because
yée
pray
proudly
,
as
the
Pharasies
did
:
or
else
it
is
because
yée
pray
with
your
hands
full
of
bloud
,
as
the
Iewes
did
:
or
else
it
is
because
yée
pray
ignorantly
as
the
Papists
did
,
or
else
it
is
because
yée
pray
faithlessely
and
coldly
,
as
the
Athiests
doe
.
If
any
fault
be
,
the
defect
is
on
our
side
,
on
Gods
part
,
this
promise
remaineth
firme
,
quicquid
petieritis
,
whatsoeuer
yée
shall
aske
the
father
in
the
sonnes
name
,
shall
be
giuen
vnto
you
.
O
most
powerfull
,
and
profitable
,
and
holy
prayer
,
the
comfort
of
the
soule
,
the
key
to
grace
,
the
Ladder
to
heauen
,
the
entrie
to
saluation
,
a
most
rich
field
of
Manna
,
a
most
endlesse
fountaine
of
Paradice
,
the
heart
of
the
spirit
,
the
spirit
of
the
life
,
the
life
of
him
that
liueth
well
.
Now
the
reason
why
I
haue
thus
magnified
and
extolled
this
holy
exercise
of
prayer
,
is
to
diminish
and
abate
the
credit
,
of
a
certaine
new-fangled
,
and
ouerlicentious
opinion
which
is
of
late
conceiued
amongst
men
,
to
wit
,
that
all
the
chiefe
parts
,
and
points
of
the
christian
religion
consisteth
in
the
reading
of
scriptures
,
frequenting
of
Lectures
,
and
hearing
of
Sermons
,
and
here
it
is
necessarie
that
I
preface
,
least
I
be
mistaken
.
Therfore
as
S.
Iames
is
not
to
be
vnderstood
to
dispraise
faith
,
when
as
he
preferred
charitie
before
it
,
in
respect
of
continuance
,
nor
almes
déeds
,
nor
martyrdom
,
when
as
he
preferred
charitie
before
them
both
,
in
respect
of
the
dayly
vse
,
nor
the
operation
of
great
and
mightie
workes
,
and
the
speculation
of
high
knowledge
,
when
as
he
preferred
charitie
before
them
both
,
in
respect
of
pietie
:
no
more
would
I
be
thought
to
dispraise
reading
of
Scriptures
,
frequenting
of
Lectures
,
and
hearing
of
Sermons
,
when
as
I
preferred
prayer
before
them
all
,
in
respect
of
the
vncessant
vse
we
haue
of
it
:
in
the
dayly
seruice
of
God
,
let
euery
thing
be
placed
in
his
proper
roome
and
order
,
because
they
are
giuen
,
and
procéede
all
from
him
,
which
liketh
so
well
of
order
,
that
he
vouchsalfeth
to
be
called
the
God
of
order
.
Surely
,
as
touching
reading
of
Scriptures
,
&
hearing
of
Sermons
,
we
must
néedes
confesse
both
these
to
be
great
helps
vnto
the
man
of
God
,
in
that
cause
of
saluation
.
Whence
is
faith
?
but
of
hearing
,
whence
is
hearing
but
of
the
word
,
howbeit
let
the
vngenerate
man
heare
the
Apostles
preach
strange
tounges
,
he
estéemes
them
as
dronkennesse
,
let
Festus
heare
S.
Paul
preach
of
Iudgment
to
come
,
he
iudgeth
it
as
madnesse
,
let
a
multitude
come
to
the
hearing
of
the
one
of
the
selfe
same
sermon
,
some
by
the
hearing
of
the
same
are
conuerted
,
some
by
the
hearing
of
that
same
are
preuerted
,
some
beléeue
,
some
doubt
,
some
disdaine
,
what
s
the
reason
?
they
vse
not
al
alike
,
the
ordinary
meanes
of
illuminating
their
minds
,
&
rectifiyng
their
wills
,
&
that
is
prayer
:
witnesse
truth
it selfe
aske
and
ye
shall
receiue
seeke
and
ye
shall
finde
,
knock
and
it
shall
be
opened
vnto
you
,
and
therefore
hée
which
comes
to
heare
a
sermon
hauing
not
prepared
,
and
santified
his
heart
before
hand
with
prayer
,
is
like
vnto
a
marriner
which
would
gouerne
his
ship
without
a
rounder
,
or
like
to
a
way-faring
man
which
wil
come
to
his
ioyrnies
end
,
by
going
a
diuerse
and
contrary
way
:
praier
therfore
vnto
our
preaching
and
your
reading
,
is
the
most
necessarie
externall
coagiuant
meanes
,
which
maketh
them
both
effectuall
,
for
to
read
the
word
is
to
receiue
it
more
confusedly
,
in
great
gobbots
&
morsels
,
to
heare
the
word
preached
,
is
to
receiue
it
more
orderly
deuided
and
cut
,
to
thinke
vpon
it
seriously
is
to
chew
it
with
the
cleane
tooth
of
godly
meditation
,
but
to
pray
vnto
God
,
to
haue
the
true
vnderstanding
of
the
same
in
our
mindes
,
and
a
liuely
féeding
of
it
in
our
hearts
,
and
consciences
,
this
thoroughly
to
degest
it
in
euery
part
of
our
bodies
,
&
in
euery
power
of
our
soules
:
prayer
therefore
vnto
our
preaching
&
your
hearing
,
is
euen
as
the
salte
,
which
quickneth
the
sacrifice
,
it
is
as
the
leauen
,
which
seasoneth
the
lampe
,
it
is
as
the
soule
which
giueth
life
to
the
body
,
it
is
as
the
sunne
which
giueth
light
to
the
world
.
And
certainely
I
am
perswaded
that
as
we
preach
the
word
sometimes
vnto
men
,
so
if
they
did
pray
at
the
same
time
together
with
vs
,
not
for
a
fashion
sake
,
with
showe
to
the
eye
,
but
in
truth
&
earnestnesse
and
from
the
ground
of
the
heart
:
this
long
planting
,
watring
,
&
sowing
which
hath
bin
bestowed
,
in
husbandring
the
hearts
of
the
men
of
our
age
,
would
haue
yeelded
more
fruit
of
piety
and
godlinesse
,
to
the
praise
of
the
glory
of
God
,
bettering
the
whole
world
,
and
stopping
of
the
mouths
of
our
aduersaries
on
both
sides
,
which
haue
spoken
and
written
so
much
euill
of
vs
.
But
as
it
was
said
of
Zeched
▪
short
in
stature
,
so
it
may
be
said
of
the
children
of
this
generation
,
they
are
short
,
they
are
dwarfs
,
they
are
little
in
stature
,
little
in
faith
,
little
in
worke
,
little
in
modesty
,
little
in
sobriety
,
little
in
temperance
,
little
in
chastity
little
in
piety
,
little
in
hospitality
,
little
in
charity
,
little
in
vertue
.
To
make
you
men
of
better
groth
,
tall
trées
are
strong
pillers
in
the
house
of
God
,
as
you
come
diligently
to
heare
,
so
remember
also
deuoutly
to
pray
,
to
pray
I
say
vnto
him
which
hath
the
kéees
of
Dauid
,
openeth
,
and
no
man
shutteth
,
shutteth
and
no
man
openeth
,
that
he
wil
illuminate
the
beames
of
our
vnderstanding
,
that
we
may
knowe
,
and
direct
the
streams
and
courses
of
our
affections
,
that
we
may
do
accordingly
.
A
souldier
goeth
not
to
warre
without
his
weapons
,
a
Christian
,
not
without
his
prayers
.
Be
pleased
I
most
humbly
beseech
you
to
heare
the
explication
of
one
argument
more
,
which
induceth
mée
in
respect
of
the
common
necessity
to
magnifie
prayer
aboue
hearing
of
sermons
.
Prayer
in
all
extremities
remayneth
like
a
Christian
tried
companion
which
neuer
leaueth
his
friend
,
but
hearing
of
Lecturers
,
&
preaching
of
Sermons
,
in
diuers
cases
faileth
.
1.
A
man
may
be
silenced
from
preaching
,
as
we
know
Micheas
was
,
but
he
cannot
be
silenced
from
praying
,
though
he
be
silenced
from
the
vocal
prayer
of
his
tongue
,
yet
can
he
not
be
silenced
from
the
mentall
prayer
of
his
heart
.
2.
A
man
may
be
cast
into
prison
,
and
fettered
in
cold
irons
as
Ioseph
was
.
3.
A
man
may
be
captiuate
,
and
carried
away
prisoner
with
the
Turkes
and
Sarisons
,
as
we
know
the
people
of
God
were
,
with
the
Syrians
and
Babilonians
.
4.
A
man
may
walke
vp
and
downe
in
the
wildernes
,
solitary
,
distressed
,
and
afflicted
,
as
diuers
of
the
holy
men
of
God
,
did
before
the
comming
of
Christ
.
5.
A
man
may
come
into
a
place
which
is
ful
of
the
botch
of
Aegypt
&
dangerous
infection
of
pestilence
.
In
some
of
these
cases
,
nay
in
euery
one
of
these
,
how
can
a
man
conueniently
be
edified
by
preaching
,
I
meane
for
the
present
?
I
deny
not
,
but
if
he
had
bin
a
diligent
obseruer
,
he
may
call
to
mind
sondry
things
,
which
hée
had
heard
and
read
,
and
so
ease
his
oppressed
&
distressed
soule
by
them
But
as
S.
Paul
sayd
of
charity
,
it
neuer
falleth
away
in
respect
of
continuance
,
so
we
may
say
of
prayer
,
it
neuer
falleth
away
at
any
time
,
in
any
place
,
or
vpon
any
occasion
Ieremie
by
prayer
can
confort
himself
ser.
de
tem
.
in
prison
.
Daniel
by
praier
,
can
reioyce
in
the
gréedy
Lyons
denne
,
the
three
children
by
prayer
can
triumph
in
the
fiery
flaming
furnace
.
Iob
can
pray
vnto
God
lying
on
his
dunghill
,
the
théefe
can
pray
vnto
God
hanging
on
the
tree
,
Non
est
locus
vbi
non
est
Deus
,
God
is
in
euery
place
and
euery
place
a
man
may
powre
out
his
prayers
to
God
,
yet
the
heddy
,
giddy
,
presize
disciplinarian
cannot
perswade
himselfe
that
hée
can
be
edified
by
comming
to
the
Church
,
vnlesse
there
be
a
sermon
,
he
must
haue
a
sermon
,
to
informe
his
vnderstanding
,
he
will
come
to
the
Church
for
that
,
I
tell
him
,
he
hath
as
great
néede
of
prayer
to
sanctifie
his
soule
and
body
,
let
him
come
to
the
Church
for
that
:
1.
Vnlesse
he
be
an
infidell
,
a
profession
,
is
to
bee
made
here
of
his
faith
.
2.
Vnlesse
he
be
too
much
a
Puritant
a
confession
is
to
be
made
heere
of
his
sinnes
.
3.
Vnlesse
he
be
a
scismatike
,
his
consent
is
required
here
by
saying
,
Amen
,
with
the
congregation
assembled
.
4.
Vnlesse
he
be
a
Traytor
his
prayers
are
to
perse
forth
here
for
the
good
of
the
king
,
the
state
,
and
the
country
.
Tell
me
doest
thou
euer
read
that
Gods
house
was
cald
the
house
of
preaching
,
this
thou
readest
not
,
but
to
show
that
the
most
vsuall
and
ordinary
exercise
which
God
will
haue
to
be
practised
in
his
Church
,
is
prayer
,
he
thought
it
best
to
call
the
place
of
his
worship
by
the
name
of
the
one
,
and
not
by
the
name
of
the
other
,
the
Church
was
sanctified
for
preaching
,
thou
wilt
come
vnto
it
while
this
is
a
doing
,
the
church
is
sanctified
for
prayer
,
and
hath
his
name
of
prayer
,
Domus
mea
,
domus
orationis
.
Come
vnto
it
also
while
this
is
a
doing
.
Salomon
vpon
,
and
after
the
dedication
of
the
temple
,
went
into
the
temple
to
prayer
,
it
is
read
of
the
Publican
&
Pharisie
,
that
they
went
both
to
the
temple
to
pray
.
Peter
&
Iohn
went
both
into
the
temple
at
the
9.
hours
,
at
the
appointed
time
for
prayer
:
old
Anna
&
Simeon
continued
dayly
in
the
temple
praying
,
the
temple
then
to
those
men
,
was
the
conuenienst
place
to
praier
,
so
thought
the
good
,
so
the
bad
,
so
the
beléeuer
,
so
the
infidel
,
so
the
Publican
,
so
the
Pharisie
,
what
a
strange
Cockatrice
egge
,
hath
the
madnesse
of
certaine
Scismatikes
hatcht
amongst
vs
,
they
wil
come
forsooth
to
the
church
,
but
not
to
prayer
?
O
how
much
impiety
.
O
how
much
profanenes
hath
the
liberty
&
licencionsnes
of
this
our
age
brought
forth
?
we
read
of
certen
of
the
auntient
fathers
,
that
they
made
their
knées
as
hard
as
Camels
hoofes
,
with
continuall
praying
,
we
read
of
S.
Ierome
in
moderate
fastings
,
&
wonderfull
humiliations
of
himselfe
in
watchings
&
praiers
:
we
haue
S.
Austins
meditations
&
soliloquia
,
solitary
spéeches
,
which
he
vsed
vnto
God
,
we
see
oratoria
,
not
auditoria
,
oratories
,
churches
,
Colleges
chappels
,
so
many
signes
&
tokens
of
our
parents
manificence
,
&
vneōparable
deuotion
these
men
thought
these
to
be
the
godly
exercises
of
religion
,
to
water
their
couch
day
&
night
,
for
the
sins
they
had
committed
,
with
Dauid
to
chastice
the
rebellions
of
the
flesh
,
with
saint
Paul
to
meditate
vpon
their
fraile
state
&
miserable
condition
,
with
holy
Iob
to
intertain
poore
,
néedy
,
naked
,
distressed
soules
into
their
houses
,
&
at
their
tables
with
faithfull
Abraham
:
al
these
are
forgotten
,
nay
,
which
I
speake
with
the
griefe
of
my
soule
,
they
account
them
vanity
,
&
superstition
,
&
men
thinke
that
they
are
come
to
the
very
mount
Nebo
,
the
height
of
religion
,
if
so
be
they
are
come
to
the
church
,
turned
ouer
their
bookes
,
found
the
text
,
looke
on
the
preacher
,
marke
his
diuision
,
heard
the
sermon
,
where
is
wounding
of
the
conscience
,
where
is
compunction
of
that
heart
?
where
is
mortification
of
the
flesh
,
where
is
detestation
of
sin
,
where
is
satisfaction
for
the
wrong
to
thy
brother
,
where
is
pitty
&
compassion
,
where
are
sighes
,
where
are
teares
,
where
are
strong
cries
&
gronings
,
where
is
the
wish
of
the
prophet
Ieremy
,
to
haue
riuers
of
waters
in
your
heads
,
to
wéepe
day
and
night
,
for
the
manifold
sinnes
ye
committed
against
the
maiesty
of
god
?
The
end
of
preaching
is
to
teach
men
to
liue
wel
&
vertuous
,
heare
S.
Paul
.
The
grace
of
God
bringeth
saluation
vnto
al
men
,
hath
appeared
,
&
reacheth
vs
,
there
is
the
preaching
what
to
do
?
mary
to
deny
vngodlinesse
&
worldlines
,
&
then
we
should
liue
soberly
,
iustly
,
&
godlily
in
dispraise
of
the
world
:
make
not
thy
porch
bigger
then
thy
house
it
is
a
foolish
kinde
of
building
,
it
is
the
property
of
an
Athenian
to
know
much
,
and
do
litle
,
it
is
the
duty
of
a
christian
to
heare
often
,
and
do
stil
that
is
to
pray
stil
:
for
it
is
written
,
pray
continually
.
This
