OTher
Mens
afflictions
,
are
our
instructions
:
and
the
punishments
which
are
laid
vpon
some
,
are
,
or
should
be
profitable
vnto
vs
all
.
The
Dogge
,
is
beaten
in
the
presence
of
a
Lyon
;
that
by
the
stripes
,
and
cries
of
a
Dogge
,
a
Lyon
might
bee
tamed
;
The
Thunder
bolt
,
falleth
,
and
burneth
,
but
in
a
narrow
great
number
,
round
about
:
so
the
calamities
of
a
few
,
are
set
forth
for
ensamples
vnto
the
rest
,
to
worke
amendment
in
them
.
This
true
vse
of
iudgements
,
did
not
many
of
the
Iewish
people
make
:
Pilate
had
destroyed
some
,
and
mingled
their
blood
,
with
their
sacrifices
:
The
Towre
of
Siloam
fell
downe
vpon
others
,
and
bereaued
them
of
their
liues
.
Those
who
escaped
these
punishments
,
(
as
the
Nature
of
man
is
)
fauouring
them selues
too
much
:
beeing
wise
abroad
,
and
fooles
at
home
(
as
the
Poet
speaketh
:
)
hauing
their
eyes
in
their
purses
,
when
they
should
behold
their
owne
deformities
,
like
Lamia
in
the
Fable
,
and
staring
in
their
heades
,
to
gaze
vpon
the
sinnes
of
others
,
with
the
proud
Pharesie
in
the
Gospell
:
concluded
from
hence
,
like
badde
Logitians
from
weake
and
slender
premises
:
that
,
Therefore
they
were
more
righteous
and
holy
then
their
fellowes
.
Our
Sauiour
CHRIST
,
to
crosse
this
vaine
supposall
,
answereth
them
heere
Laconically
:
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
:
Nay
:
And
least
that
beeing
ouer-blinded
in
themselues
,
they
should
all
fall
into
the
ditch
:
to
preuent
their
ruine
,
hee
denounceth
out
a
threatning
,
that
,
Vnlesse
they
amended
,
they
should
all
likewise
perish
.
Threatnings
they
are
forcible
meanes
,
to
draw
sinners
vnto
GOD
:
For
although
good
promises
,
are
alurements
vnto
good
men
:
yet
such
(
for
the
most
part
)
is
the
corruption
of
our
heartes
,
as
that
wee
are
more
mooued
with
feare
,
then
with
loue
;
more
with
the
rodde
of
Aaron
,
then
with
heauenly
Manna
:
more
with
seuere
threatnings
,
then
with
friendly
promisings
:
Injuries
do
worke
a
deeper
griefe
in
vs
,
then
benefits
do
affect
vs
with
delight
:
Sicknesse
doth
more
weary
vs
,
then
health
doth
refresh
vs
:
and
wee
are
wont
to
esteeme
rightly
of
prosperity
;
by
the
harmes
of
aduersity
.
For
this
cause
therfore
are
these
misdeeming
Iews
,
fore-told
,
that
vnlesse
they
amended
their
liues
,
their
destruction
was
at
hand
.
CHRIST
launceth
them
,
for
to
heale
them
:
hee
threatneth
them
;
for
to
draw
them
:
hee
denounceth
iudgements
against
them
,
for
to
saue
them
:
his
wordes
are
like
the
Arrowes
of
Ionathan
,
which
were
shot
after
Dauid
,
not
olde
times
,
thus
was
GOD
accustomed
to
reclaime
his
people
:
The
writinges
of
the
Prophets
are
euen
stuffed
with
woes
.
Take
a
booke
saith
GOD
vnto
Ieremy
,
and
write
therein
all
the
euill
,
that
I
determine
to
doe
vnto
the
house
of
Iudah
,
that
they
may
returneeuery
man
from
his
euill
way
:
and
in
the
same
Chapter
it
is
recorded
,
that
when
they
heard
the
wordes
of
the
booke
they
were
amazed
.
The
like
course
hath
GOD
vsed
in
latter
times
.
Iohns
manner
of
preaching
,
was
as
rough
,
as
himselfe
.
Now
is
the
Axe
(
saith
he
)
laid
vnto
the
rootes
of
the
trees
,
and
euery
tree
that
bringeth
not
forth
good
fruit
,
shall
bee
hewen
downe
,
and
cast
into
the
fire
:
What
followed
herevpon
?
Ierusalem
,
all
Iudea
,
and
the
region
about
Iordaine
were
baptized
of
him
,
confessing
their
sinnes
.
CHRIST
also
in
this
place
threatneth
the
Iewes
,
and
in
them
euerie
one
of
vs
:
for
that
which
stoode
good
against
them
,
standeth
still
in
force
against
vs
:
Except
we
amendour
liues
,
we
shall
all
likewise
perish
.
How
this
wrought
,
to
the
conuersion
of
these
Iewes
,
it
is
not
mentioned
in
the
Scripture
;
how
farre
it
will
preuaile
,
for
the
bettering
of
vs
,
I
am
not
able
to
coniecture
.
This
am
I
sure
of
,
that
in
former
times
,
threatnings
haue
preuailed
:
and
I
beseech
our
GOD
to
make
them
profitable
now
.
The
partes
of
my
Text
are
these
foure
.
First
,
there
is
a
duty
required
(
Amendment
of
life
)
Secondly
the
necessity
thereof
inforced
(
vnlesse
)
Thirdly
the
time
prescribed
(
Amend
)
not
haue
amended
and
fallen
againe
,
not
will
amend
,
I
know
not
when
;
but
vnlesse
you
(
Amend
)
doe
it
speedily
,
and
continually
without
delaye
or
interruption
.
sorrow
for
sin
,
without
hope
of
grace
:
where
there
is
knowledge
of
guiltinesse
,
without
amendment
of
life
:
where
there
is
a
killing
of
the
old
man
;
without
a
quickning
of
the
newe
:
where
there
is
the
sentence
of
death
in
the
Soule
,
&
not
of
life
in
the
Sauiour
.
Though
we
should
recount
vnto
GOD
,
all
our
sinnes
ouer
,
&
ouer
againe
;
euen
in
the
bitternes
of
our
soules
;
Cain
,
Saul
,
Iudas
,
yet
found
hee
no
place
to
repentance
,
though
hee
sought
a
blessing
with
teares
.
What
was
the
cause
of
this
?
(
my
beloued
)
but
that
there
was
in
him
penance
without
desire
of
repentance
;
griefe
without
faith
,
a
sorrow
without
conuersion
:
whereas
sorrow
,
faith
,
and
new
obedience
,
they
should
go
together
.
The
first
,
driueth
to
the
second
;
sorrow
,
to
faith
:
The
second
to
the
third
:
fayth
,
to
conuersion
▪
Sorrow
without
faith
is
hopelesse
;
faith
without
conuersion
,
is
fruitlesse
;
the
one
killing
,
the
other
dead
,
all
must
concurre
in
true
repentance
.
As
it
must
haue
the
knowledge
of
sinne
in
the
soule
,
rising
from
the
Law
of
GOD
;
and
a
sorrow
for
sinne
in
the
heart
,
proceeding
from
the
feare
of
punishment
goe
before
it
:
so
must
it
spring
from
faith
,
and
by
faith
bee
finished
:
from
the
faith
of
science
,
wherby
wee
giue
credance
vnto
the
Gospell
must
it
spring
:
and
by
the
faith
of
confidence
,
,
by
which
the
heart
is
conuerted
vnto
GOD
,
is
it
fully
perfected
.
There
is
no
part
of
Christian
religion
of
that
maine
importance
,
wherein
men
doe
more
voluntarily
deceiue
themselues
:
then
commonly
they
doe
in
this
duty
of
Repentance
.
In
consideration
whereof
it
will
not
be
amisse
,
to
deliuer
vnto
you
certaine
infallible
signes
,
and
vnseparable
frutes
;
whereby
we
may
assure
our selues
that
wee
haue
repented
.
S.
Paul
nameth
seuen
fruites
which
(
in
some
measure
)
alwaies
follow
,
where
true
amendment
goeth
before
.
Behold
(
saith
hee
)
your
godly
sorrowes
what
care
(
1
)
it
hath
wrought
in
you
▪
yea
what
clearing
(
2
)
of
your selues
:
yea
what
indignation
(
3
)
:
yea
what
feare
(
4
)
.
yea
how
great
desire
(
5
)
▪
yea
what
Zeale
(
6
)
:
yea
what
punishment
(
7
)
?
Those
then
who
are
true
conuertes
,
who
doe
vnfaynedly
amend
their
liues
:
they
are
not
sluggish
or
secure
in
sinne
,
but
Carefull
to
redresse
what
is
amisse
:
not
hiders
,
or
excusers
of
cuill
:
but
Confessors
;
and
by
humble
supplication
Clearing
theyr
offences
:
They
are
not
contented
to
dwell
in
wickednesse
:
but
vexed
in
soule
and
full
of
Indignation
against
them-selues
for
their
sins
committed
,
they
stand
in
awe
,
and
are
affraid
of
GODS
iudgments
.
They
Desire
his
fauour
,
as
the
Hart
desireth
the
water
Brookes
:
they
labour
by
religious
Zeale
,
to
approue
their
liues
,
to
GOD
and
good
Men
:
and
they
are
so
farre
from
fauoring
of
their
faults
;
as
that
they
seuerely
punish
them
vpon
them-selues
.
These
bee
good
Conuerts
indeede
.
But
those
who
haue
not
this
care
to
keepe
the
Law
of
GOD
.
Who
vse
not
the
meanes
to
cleare
the
score
:
who
be
not
angry
with
them-selues
for
their
sinnes
:
who
feare
not
GODS
iudgements
,
who
desire
not
his
mercie
:
who
contend
not
to
go
before
others
in
Zeale
,
and
honesty
of
life
:
who
reuenge
not
their
sinnes
vppon
them-selues
:
irridentes
sunt
,
non
paenitentes
(
saith
Gregory
)
they
are
proud
mockers
▪
not
true
repenters
.
Must
then
amendment
of
life
,
yeelde
such
worthy
fruites
?
Is
Care
?
Is
Clearing
?
Is
Indignation
?
Is
Feare
?
Is
Desire
?
Is
Zeale
?
Is
Punishment
,
required
heere-vnto
?
O
then
(
My
beloued
)
to
repent
,
can
bee
no
light
matter
,
nor
trifling
labour
;
which
a
man
may
haue
at
command
,
or
performe
when
hee
list
.
No
,
noe
:
As
sixe
dayes
went
before
the
creation
of
Man-kind
:
so
must
wee
thinke
of
our
Recreation
;
not
as
if
wee
were
then
conuerted
,
when
as
Euening
,
and
Morning
,
make
the
second
,
or
third
or
fourth
day
:
it
is
a
sixt
dayes
worke
:
that
is
,
much
toyle
and
trauaile
belongs
vnto
it
.
Sinne
cannot
be
cast
off
as
an
vpper
garment
.
The
heartes
of
sinners
must
suffer
an
Earth-quake
with-in
them
,
and
tremble
,
and
rende
:
There
must
bee
mortifying
,
and
crucifying
;
and
sacrificing
,
both
of
Bodyes
and
Soules
.
Strange
wordes
!
(
Mortifiyng
,
Crucifying
,
Sacrifyeing
)
arguing
as
strange
actions
.
That
must
torment
vs
at
the
Heart
,
which
delighted
vs
in
our
Bodies
:
that
must
bee
sower
to
our
Soules
,
which
was
sweete
in
our
Liues
:
wee
must
change
our
Vices
into
as
manye
Vertues
:
and
so
turne
vnto
our
GOD
,
as
if
wee
neuer
more
would
returne
vnto
sinne
.
Many
are
there
(
saith
Fulgentius
)
which
are
sorrowfull
for
their
sinnes
,
yet
leaue
not
their
sinning
▪
but
these
take
not
awaye
their
sinnes
by
sorrowing
;
because
they
leaue
not
sinning
after
sorrowing
.
For
as
Saint
Augustine
speaketh
,
nihil
prosunt
lamenta
vbi
replicantur
peccata
:
Mourning
is
in
vaine
,
if
wee
sinne
againe
.
But
more
(
alas
)
are
there
,
which
seldome
,
or
neuer
,
are
sorrie
for
theyr
sinnes
at
all
:
Which
will
not
learne
to
drinke
Gall
with
CHRIST
,
which
cannot
abide
a
bitter
Soule
,
nay
in
steed
of
sorrowing
for
sins
,
they
glory
in
them
;
they
say
vnto
them
,
as
GOD
said
vnto
his
Creatures
:
increase
&
multiplie
▪
proclayming
with
a
Trumpet
,
their
own
reprobation
.
O
let
vs
remember
,
that
the
hearts
of
foolish
sinners
,
are
like
broken
vessells
which
cannot
be
mended
,
till
they
must
first
bee
melted
:
That
(
as
Beda
sayth
)
we
must
plowe
vp
our
groundes
,
before
wee
can
ridde
them
from
thornes
.
That
(
as
Saint
Ambrose
speaketh
)
great
sinnes
,
craues
great
weeping
,
great
lamentation
.
If
Naman
will
bee
cleansed
from
his
leprosie
,
hee
must
wash
him-selfe
seauen
times
in
the
water
:
and
if
wee
will
purge
vs
from
the
filthinesse
of
our
sinne
,
wee
must
rench
our selues
often
with
teares
,
wee
must
vnder-goe
the
Agonie
of
Repentance
:
mingle
our
Drinke
with
weeping
,
water
our
Couches
with
Teares
:
yea
the
very
bloud
(
as
it
were
)
of
our
soules
must
gush
out
of
our
eyes
:
we
must
be
grieued
,
that
wee
cannot
alwayes
be
grieued
.
When
CHRIST
considered
the
sinnes
of
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
&c.
When
Dauid
heard
that
his
Sonne
was
slaine
in
his
sinne
,
he
my
sonne
,
Absolon
my
sonne
;
my
sonne
.
Haue
these
wept
for
the
sinnes
of
others
?
much
more
ought
wee
then
to
mourne
for
our
owne
transgressions
.
Michah
followed
the
souldiers
;
crying
because
they
had
stolne
away
his
Idols
;
and
the
question
beeing
moued
,
why
he
cryed
so
piteously
?
yee
haue
carried
my
gods
away
,
and
aske
yee
me
why
I
crie
?
Did
this
Idolatrous
wretch
thinke
it
cause
sufficient
to
lament
for
the
losse
of
his
false
gods
,
which
his
owne
handes
had
made
?
Iudge
you
then
(
Beloued
)
how
we
should
be
grieued
for
our
sinnes
,
which
depriue
vs
of
the
true
GOD
whose
handes
haue
framed
Heauen
and
Earth
.
Wil
examples
moue
vs
to
the
performance
of
this
duty
?
Looke
vpon
repenting
Dauid
,
and
behold
there
are
ashes
vpon
his
head
,
and
sack-cloth
vpon
his
backe
:
he
did
not
braue
it
in
atire
,
nor
lay
streaking
vpon
his
bed
,
with
a
bare
(
Lord
helpe
mee
)
in
his
mouth
.
Looke
vpon
the
repenting
Nineuites
;
and
behold
King
,
and
people
,
are
strangely
humbled
.
Men
and
beasts
,
fast
and
drinke
water
;
they
sat
not
bealching
at
their
bordes
,
saying
(
Pardon
Sir
)
&
so
post
it
ouer
.
Looke
vpon
repenting
Magdalen
.
and
behold
(
saith
Gregory
)
quot
habuit
in
se
oblectamenta
,
tet
de
se
fecit
hollocausta
:
so
many
pleasures
as
shee
found
in
her selfe
,
so
many
sacrifices
shee
made
of
her selfe
.
Shee
had
abused
her
eyes
to
wanton
lookes
;
and
therefore
nowe
she
caused
them
to
flow-ouer
with
teares
:
shee
had
made
her
lips
the
weapons
of
lasciuiousnes
and
gates
of
vanitie
,
and
therefore
now
shee
caused
them
to
kisse
her
Saniour
:
her
hayre
once
set
out
and
frizeled
after
the
newest
fashion
,
doth
shee
now
make
serue
in
steed
of
a
napkin
;
her
precious
ointment
,
that
was
her
wonted
perfume
,
she
now
powred
vpon
CHRISTS
feete
,
which
her
eyes
had
watered
,
her
hayre
had
wiped
,
her
mouth
had
kissed
.
The
Philistins
being
plagued
with
Emrodes
,
offered
Emrodes
vnto
the
Arke
.
erected
a
serpent
in
the
wildernes
,
serpens
momordit
,
serpens
curauit
.
bestow
them
vpon
the
Lords
Tabernacle
.
And
this
was
Maries
practise
:
so
many
sinnes
,
so
many
sacrifices
:
such
sinnes
such
sacrifices
:
her
eyes
,
her
lippes
,
her
hayre
,
her
ointment
,
all
the
instruments
of
her
death
were
turned
(
at
her
conuersion
)
into
the
means
of
life
.

no

Necessary

to

as
a
Shippe
is
needefull
to
him
that

saith
S.
Ambrose
)
vnto

Neither
is
it
necessary
to
some
:
but
to
all
.
All
shall
perish
,
vnlesse
there
be
amendment
.
The
whole
race
of
Adam
stand
bound
to
this
strict
condition
.
Not
Moyses
:
Not
Abraham
▪
Not
Dauid
:
not
the
Patriarches
not
the
Apostles
of
CHRIST
:
Not
any
who
may
challenge
vnto
them-selues
(
eyther
by
Birth
or
bringing
vp
)
the
greatest
prerogatiues
in
the
world
,
can
plead
exemption
from
this
Condition

Hast
thou
fayled
in
thy
faith
,
and
repented
?
behold
GODS
mercy
towards
repenting
Peter
:
Hast
thou
robbed
thy
Neighbour

behold
GODS
mercy
to
the

Theefe

Hast

couetously

behold
GODS

Hast

committed
Adultery

behold
GODS

But
hast
thou
done
these

GOD
accepteth

he
feareth
no

,
hee
is
deceiued
by
no

he
is
corrupted
with
no
money
,
he
is
allured
by
no

Who
would
not
haue
thought
,
but
that
the
Pharisies
should
haue
beene
saued
,
which
made
a
shewe
of
a
precise
life
:
or
that
Esau
should
not
haue
beene
respected
,
who
lift
vp
his
voice
and
wept
bitterly
.
Or
that
Ahab
had
not

Iohn
Baptist
gladly
.
But
wo
vnto
the
Pharesies
hate
:
Achab
was
a
S.
Paul
speaketh
of
Charity
.
Though
wee
spake
with
the
tongues
of
men
and
Angells
:
though
we
had
the
gift
of
Prophesiyng
,
and
knew
all
secrets
:
though
we
had
faith
to
remoue
mountaines
:
though
we
should
feed
the
poore
with
all
our
goods
▪
though
we
should
giue
our
bodies
to
be
burned
;
and
want
Repentance
:
all
would
be
nothing
worth
:
but
like
the
Golden
Apples
of
Caligula
,
which
might
please
the
sight
of
his
Ghests
(
saith
Plutarch
)
but
not
slake
their
hunger
:
or
like
the
gold
on
the
out-side
of
the
Temple
,
which
(
as
Origen
writeth
)
was
neuer
sanctified
:
Say
what
wee
can
:
beleeue
what
wee
can
,
doe
what
wee
can
:
suffer
what
wee
can
:
vnlesse
we
repent
wee
shall
surely
perish

As
CHRIST
IESVS
is
a
Lambe
full
of
mercy
soft
heart
,
for
his
mercy
indureth
for
euer
:
he
sendeth
the
comfort
of
his
spirit
:
for
his
mercy
indureth
for
euer
:
hee
giueth
peace
of
conscience
:
for
his
mercy
indureth
for
euer
:
and
bestoweth
on
them
the
ioyes
of
Heauen
;
for
his
mercy
indureth
for
euer
.
But
as
for
the
impenitent
:
hee
giueth
them
ouer
vnto
hardnesse
of
heart
:
for
his
iustice
indureth
for
euer
.
Hee
leaueth
them
,
in
a
Reprobate
sense
,
for
his
iustice
indureth
for
euer
.
Hee
sendeth
into
them
the
horror
of
Conscience
,
for
his
iustice
indureth
for
euer
.
And
cafteth
them
at
last
into
the
torments
of
Hell
:
for
his
iustice
indureth
for
Vnlesse
yee
amend
your
liues
,
yee
shall
all
likewise
perish
.
Thus
much
of
the
necessity
of
this
duty
,
3.
The
time
is
prescribed
.
Amend
instantly
,
continually
.
In
omnibus
obligationibus
,
in
quibus
dies
non
ponitur
,
presente
die
debetur
:
In
all
Obligations
(
sayth
the
Lawyer
)
where
no
time
is
specified
the
Condition
is
presently
to
bee
performed
.
Vppon
this
Theame
the
Holy-Men
of
GOD
spent
many
of
their
Sermons
:
Looke
into
Esay
,
Ieremy
and
the
rest
,
and
you
shall
finde
,
that
they
euer
beate
vppon
the
present
time
:
Now
turne
vnto
the
Lord
.
Now
,
whilest
it
is
called
to
day
;
to
day
if
you
will
heare
his
voice
,
this
is
the
acceptable
time
&c.
What
were
dregges
.
Amend
(
saith
my
text
)
heere
is
no
time
speciall
annexed
?
and
therefore
is
our
payment
presently
required
.
And
as
we
must
amend
,
without
deferring
▪
so
must
wee
continue
without
back-sliding
.
Wee
may
not
repent
by
quames
and
startes
,
but
go
through
stitch
.
Fatte
promisings
may
not
haue
leane
performances
.
It
is
a
principle
in
the
Ciuill
Law
.
Nihil
praesumitur
fuisse
actum
,
dum
aliquid
superest
ad
agendum
.
To
begin
a
thing
is
pleasant
,
and
for
varieties
sake
many
will
do
so
much
,
but
the
prise
and
praise
is
at
the
end
.
Some
in
the
world
resemble
Snayles
,
which
push
out
a
long
payre
of
hornes
,
but
beeing
touched
neuer
so
little
,
they
drawe
them
in
againe
.
Such
a
one
was
true
repentance
may
not
be
by
lease
,
or
after
the
manner
of
Bethulia
,
&
filio
,
the
third
&
spirituo
sancto
:
and
after
that
come
to
sicut
erat
in
principio
;
Cedars
:
Palmes
,
which
bring
forth
fruit
betimes
;
Cedars
,
whose
fruites
lasteth
very
long
.
Consider
well
,
the
manifold
dangers
which
followes
the
want
eyther
of
speed
or
of
continuance
.
First
our
liues
,
of
all
things
are
most
vncertaine
.
Short
are
the
dayes
of
man
saith
Iob
,
who
also
amonst
the
Philosophers
is
but
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
a
man
of
a
day
old
.
Salomon
is
lighter
then
vanity
too
.
Euen
as
thou
foole
this
night
shall
thy
soule
be
taken
from
thee
.
Young
men
(
saith
Seneca
)
haue
death
behind
them
:
olde
men
haue
death
before
them
:
and
all
men
haue
death
not
farre
from
them
.
Mee
thinkes
the
Lord
threatneth
an
vtter
ruine
vnto
all
the
World
:
The
Earth
not
long
since
hath
trembled
:
the
Lightes
of
Heauen
haue
beene
often
darkened
.
Rebellions
haue
beene
raised
.
Treasons
haue
beene
practised
▪
Plagues
haue
beene
dispersed
,
Windes
haue
blustered
:
Waters
haue
raged
,
and
what
wanteth
there
now
,
but
fire
for
vs
,
from
Heauen
to
bee
consumed
?
And
is
it
nowe
time
to
buye
,
to
sell
,
to
eate
,
to
drinke
,
to
liue
securely
in
sinne
,
as
they
did
in
the
dayes
of
Noah
,
and
thinke
of
nothing
else
?
Is
it
nowe
time
to
say
vnto
GOD
as
the
Niggard
doth
Cras
reuertere
,
come
againe
to
morrow
?
or
as
that
drowsie
sluggard
doth
;
yet
a
little
sleepe
,
yet
a
little
slumber
,
yet
a
little
folding
of
the
handes
?
The
foolish
Virgins
supposed
that
the
Bridgroome
would
not
come
like
an
Owle
or
Ba●te
in
the
night
:
there
is
time
enough
(
saide
they
:
)
what
needes
all
this
hast
?
but
poore
fooles
they
were
excluded
.
O
(
My
beloued
)
many
thousands
are
nowe
,
no
doubt
in
hell
,
who
purposed
in
time
to
haue
turned
from
their
sinnes
,
but
being
preuented
by
death
are
for
euer
condemned
.
Let
therefore
the
vncertainety
and
shortnesse
of
our
liues
,
teach
vs
to
watch
because
we
know
not
the
houre
,
to
do
good
whilst
we
haue
time
;
to
make
hast
into
the
promised
rest
,
and
alwayes
Secondly
badde
customes
are
dangerous
,
and
Hee
that
from
his
youth
hath
liued
wickedly
,
in
his
old
age
shall
haue
sinne
in
his
bones
.
Can
the
Black-moore
change
his
skinne
,
or
the
Leopard
his
spottes
?
no
more
may
hee
doe
good
(
sayth
GOD
)
who
is
accustomed
vnto
euill
.
It
is
a
true
speech
vsed
amongst
Physitions
,
Custome
is
another
Nature
.
A
Child
brought
vp
in
closse
prison
,
can
there
sport
and
play
:
when
hee
that
lately
saw
light
,
and
had
his
liberty
:
can
do
little
else
but
bewayle
his
Captiuity
:
The
Isralites
beeing
long
in
bondage
,
The
older
the
sor●r
:
sed
consuetudine
plus
quam
ciues
studio
plus
quam
hostes
(
saith
Saint
Augustine
)
the
older
the
sweeter
,
and
yet
the
more
toothsome
,
the
more
troublesome
:
for
Custome
not
resisted
becommeth
a
Necessity
.
Olde
Sinners
are
compared
to
Lazarus
in
his
graue
.
First
,
they
stinke
:
they
are
corrupt
,
and
become
abhommable
Secondly
,
they
haue
a
greate
stone
of
Custome
rowled
vpon
them
,
which
can
hardly
be
remoued
:
Thirdly
their
seete
and
handes
,
are
bound
,
they
cannot
imploie
them
to
any
good
action
.
And
lastly
their
faces
are
couered
,
hauing
by
the
darkenesse
of
their
sinnes
,
lost
the
sight
of
GOD
.
Againe
ancient
sinnes
,
are
by
the
Prophet
compared
vnto
Chaynes
:
where
one
lincke
,
one
sinne
doth
draw
on
another
.
First
commeth
secret
suggestion
,
after
suggestion
,
Cogitation
:
after
cogitation
,
Affection
:
after
affection
Delight
:
after
delight
,
Consent
:
after
consent
an
Act
:
then
many
actes
make
a
Custome
:
Custome
bringeth
Despayre
:
despaire
a
Defence
of
sinne
:
defense
a
Boasting
in
it
:
and
this
is
the
next
steppe
to
condemnation
.
Here
is
the
Chaine
of
sinn
:
wherein
euerie
lincke
is
more
heauye
then
an
other
:
the
former
,
are
the
easier
:
the
latter
,
alwayes
the
harder
to
bee
shaken
off
.
Peter
at
the
first
did
but
denye
CHRIST
,
afterwardes
hee
denyed
him
with
an
oath
:
at
last
hee
did
curse
and
swcare
,
and
for-swore
him-selfe
.
The
Disciples
of
It
wil
be
too
late
,
to
come
to
the
kaye
when
the
ship
is
launched
:
too
late
,
to
transplant
trees
,
when
they
be
growne
in
yeares
:
too
late
to
apply
a
medicine
,
where
the
disease
is
desperate
:
too
late
to
resist
enemies
,
when
they
haue
gotten
,
and
fortefyed
the
hold
:
too
late
to
season
flesh
,
when
it
crawleth
with
wormes
:
or
to
mend
a
house
when
it
is
on
fire
.
So
standeth
the
case
with
him
that
hath
lined
long
in
sinne
:
what
is
there
no
hope
of
Saluation
for
him
?
Non
dico
saluabitur
,
non
dico
damnabitur
(
saith
Saint
Augustine
)
I
will
not
say
,
he
shall
be
saued
,
I
will
not
say
,
he
shall
be
damned
.
The
Theefe
was
receined
in
the
end
of
his
dayes
.
Where
vpon
Origen
writeth
thus
.
There
is
no
man
which
hath
cause
to
dispayre
of
pardon
:
seeing
CHRIST
said
vnto
the
Theefe
,
Amen
dico
tibi
,
&c.
verily
this
day
shalt
Thou
bee
with
me
in
Paradise
:
and
yet
may
we
not
too
much
presume
of
pardon
,
because
CHRIST
sayde
not
.
Amen
dico
vobis
,
&c
verily
this
day
shall
You
bee
with
mee
in
Paradise
.
Wherefore
let
vs
remember
before
wee
sin
;
that
CHRIST
pardoned
not
the
multitude
;
and
thereby
feare
his
iustice
.
And
after
we
haue
sinned
,
let
vs
remember
that
CHRIST
pardoned
the
theefe
;
and
thereby
hope
for
mercy
.
Et
si
paenitentia
est
sera
,
tamen
indulgentia
non
est
fera
,
saith
Lombard
▪
GODS
mercy
is
aboue
our
misery
:
and
an
euening
sacrifice
is
accepted
by
him
,
And
yet
on
the
other
side
:
wee
neuer
read
,
that
CHRIST
cured
one
blind
man
often
;
that
he
healed
the
same
Leapers
diuerse
times
:
that
hee
raised
Lazarus
twice
.
Antiochus
prayed
for
mercy
at
the
ende
of
his
life
and
was
not
heard
.
downe
the
neck
of
thy
sonne
whilest
hee
is
nippe
it
on
the
head
while
it
is
a
child
:
for
it
will
else
grow
stubborn
,
and
get
the
Mastery
.
In
youth
,
sinnes
are
few
and
fecble
;
but
by
continuance
they
grow
to
be
as
strong
as
Gyants
,
and
increase
into
mighty
Armies
▪
Besides
they
are
a
burden
;
heauier
then
the
whole
earth
.
They
made
wicked
Angells
to
fall
like
thunder-bolts
Behold
I
am
pressed
vnder
you
,
as
a
Cart
is
pressed
that
is
full
of
sheaues
.
The
creatures
grone
vnder
this
burthen
;
beeing
by
mans
sinne
,
subiect
to
vanity
,
and
corruption
;
and
shall
Cain
.
My
sinne
is
heauier
then
I
am
able
for
to
beare
.
Thirdly
we
must
remember
,
that
the
longer
wee
continue
in
sinne
,
the
farther
and
greater
space
,
we
runne
from
our
GOD
.
Your
Iniquities
(
saith
GOD
)
makes
a
Separation
betwixt
mee
and
you
.
And
is
there
Because
I
haue
called
,
and
you
refused
:
you
shall
call
vppon
mee
,
and
I
will
not
answer
you
.
A
dolefull
and
heauy
doome
,
for
a
dying
man
.
Lastly
let
vs
euer
remember
,
that
in
time
of
sicknesse
wee
thinke
most
vppon
that
wee
most
feele
:
Death
beseegeth
vs
:
Sinn
affrighteth
vs
:
our
wiues
grieueys
:
our
children
with-drawe
vs
:
beeing
many
wayes
distracted
,
how
shall
wee
then
amend
?
being
then
at
the
weakest
,
how
can
wee
resist
Sathan
,
who
is
then
at
the
strongest
?
now
hee
must
haue
vs
,
or
else
euer
loose
vs
:
nowe
therefore
standeth
the
redde
Dragon
,
ready
to
deuoure
his
prey
.
Vaunting
him-selfe
against
CHRIST
IESVS
:
I
neuer
dyed
for
these
,
I
neuer
was
whipped
,
crucified
,
tormented
for
them
.
I
neuer
promised
them
eternall
life
,
not
Paradise
,
not
the
ioyes
of
Heauen
.
And
yet
loe
howe
they
followe
mee
vnto
their
liues
ende
?
Avaunt
Sathan
:
in
the
Name
of
CHRIST
IESVS
.
And
let
all
true
Christians
Amend
speedilie
:
Continually
.

There
is
punishment
threatned
,
Yee
shall
all
perish
.
Amongst
the
Philosophers
,
to
perish
,
doth
vsually
signifie
,
A
returning
vnto
nothing
which
the
Creatures
of
GOD
,
doe
naturally
abhorre
.
For
euer
since
that
first
blessing
Increase
and
multiplie
,
there
shall
depart
from
them
:
and
as
the
Heart
of
Prometheus
was
(
say
the
Poets
)
alwayes
eaten
with
Vultures
,
To
perish
:
is
a
word
of
a
large
extent
:
contayning
in
it
,
the
plagues
of
the
Soule
,
the
punishment
poena
damni
:
paena
sensus

the
torment
of
losse
,
or
wanting
:
2.
the
torment
of
sense
,
and
feeling
▪
the
effect
of
both
is
this
:
you
shall
loose
the
ioyes
of
Heauen
,
you
shall
feele
the
paines
of
hell
.
The
ioyes
of
Heauen
,
are
these
of
such
valewe
,
or
the
losse
of
them
so
great
,
as
should
moue
vs
to
repentance
?
what
those
ioyes
are
,
and
by
consequence
how
great
their
losse
is
,
wee
may
behold
as
in
a
Glasse
darkely
:
but
tongues
of
men
and
Angells
can
in
noe
wise
expresse
.
S.
Paul
being
rapt
into
the
third
onely
Sonne
of
GOD
,
not
by
Adoption
but
by
nature
,
louing
,
and
best
beloued
:
bought
them
,
not
with
money
,
but
with
bloud
:
not
with
the
bloud
of
Goates
and
Rammes
:
but
with
his
own
blood
:
not
with
the
bloud
of
head
,
handes
or
feete
:
but
with
his
owne
heart
bloud
.
And
as
hee
prayed
soundly
for
them
him-selfe
:
so
hath
hee
prized
them
vnto
his
Friends
,
and
Children
.
None
can
enter
into
them
but
by
many
tribulations
.
They
cost
Paul
a
beheadding
,
Peter
a
millions
of
Martirs
a
racking
or
burning
,
a
torturing
,
a
tormenting
.
GOD
Secondly
we
may
conceiue
of
them
:
by
taking
a
view
of
inferior
beauties
.
Looke
vpon
the
meddows
:
consider
(
sayth
our
Sauiour
)
the
Lillies
of
the
field
,
how
they
growe
and
florish
:
I
say
vnto
you
;
that
Salomon
in
all
his
glory
,
was
not
like
to
one
of
these
:
all
Salomons
glory
,
not
like
to
one
Lilly
.
Hath
GOD
put
such
glory
and
gladnesse
vpon
the
grasse
of
the
field
?
hath
hee
so
gorgiously
attired
them
?
which
to
day
haue
a
being
,
but
to
morrow
are
cut
downe
,
and
cast
into
a
furnace
?
how
much
more
then
shal
Thirdly
wee
haue
a
resemblance
of
these
ioyes
,
in
CHRISTS
transfiguration
:
when
as
his
face
did
wee
shall
beare
the
image
of
the
heauenly
,
Fourthly
,
the
place
of
blessednesse
,
doth
informe
vs
of
these
ioyes
.
First
it
is
a
place
of
puritie
and
holinesse
:
no
vncleane
thing
shall
enter
thereinto
.
Secondly
brightnesse
:
as
cleare
as
cristal
,
glistring
as
Iasper
▪
the
twelue
gates
are
twelue
pearles
;
the
sireetes
like
gold
,
and
shining
glasse
.
Thirdly
a
largenesse
:
O
Israel
how
great
is
the
house
of
GOD
,
and
how
large
is
the
place
of
his
possession
?
pure
,
bright
,
large
place
of
glorie
shall
true
Conuertes
enter
:
for
where
I
am
▪
(
saith
CHRIST
)
there
shall
my
seruants
bee
:
and
that
is
Come
yee
blessed
of
my
Father
,
possesse
a
Kingdome
:
with
his
owne
attendants
:
and
there
shall
they
raigne
for
euermore
.
Fiftly
wee
may
make
coniecture
of
these
ioyes
,
by
reflecting
our
eyes
vpon
those
innumerable
perilles
,
which
we
haue
heere
escaped
.
For
if
such
as
are
deliuered
from
the
daungers
of
the
Sea
,
do
wonderfully
reioyce
when
they
come
vnto
the
shore
.
Much
greater
then
is
the
ioye
of
those
who
hauing
beene
tossed
in
the
waues
of
this
World
;
troubled
with
sinnes
,
with
Sathan
;
with
the
fraylties
of
the
flesh
,
with
the
feare
of
hell
,
(
Quorum
periculum
probat
periuntium
multitudo
(
saith
Gregorie
)
whose
dangers
appeares
by
the
multitude
of
those
that
perish
)
are
nowe
arriued
at
Heauen
,
for
their
Hauen
:
and
are
wholie
freed
from
all
their
miseries
:
Quanto
fuit
maius
periculum
in
praelio
▪
tanto
maius
gaudium
in
triumpho
:
(
as
Saint
Augustine
well
speaketh
:
)
the
more
dangers
escaped
,
the
more
ioyes
increased
:
as
the
most
doubtfull
battell
,
maketh
the
most
ioyfull
victory
.
Lastly
though
wee
knowe
not
what
it
is
to
behold
the
Face
of
GOD
:
yet
herein
consisteth
the
because
their
eyes
doe
alwayes
see
their
King
in
his
glorie
.
It
is
a
pleasing
sight
and
delight-some
vnto
the
eye
,
to
behold
the
Sunne
:
Sed
illud
est
verum
gaudium
(
saith
S.
Bernard
)
non
quod
ae
creatura
sed
quod
de
creatore
concipitur
:
but
that
is
the
true
and
onely
ioy
indeede
,
which
is
conceiued
from
the
Creator
,
not
from
the
Creature
.
Iohn
leapt
in
his
Mothers
wombe
,
when
but
the
Mother
of
his
maker
came
neere
vnto
him
:
the
Wise-men
reioyced
exceedingly
,
when
they
but
sawe
his
Starre
.
The
Bethshemits
were
comforted
at
the
sight
of
his
Ark
,
were
these
causes
of
great
and
vnwonted
gladnesse
?
Then
are
the
Saints
rauished
with
ioy
in
Heauen
,
who
behold
theyr
Creator
face
to
face
.
If
the
people
shouted
for
ioy
,
so
as
the
earth
did
ring
againe
with
the
sound
of
their
noyse
when
Salomon
was
Saint
Bernard
)
In
comparison
of
this
,
all
ioy
,
is
sadnesse
:
all
sweetnesse
,
sowernesse
:
all
beauty
,
blacknesse
:
yea
all
the
delights
in
the
World
put
them
together
;
which
haue
beene
,
which
are
,
which
shall
bee
to
the
day
of
Iudgement
:
all
,
are
but
as
a
droppe
of
water
,
to
the
mayne
Ocean
,
in
respect
of
that
blessednesse
which
wee
shall
drinke
from
the
euer
liuing
fountaine
of
the
face
of
GOD
.
For
if
wee
finde
such
store
of
sweetnesse
in
a
peece
of
one
little
Creature
(
bee
it
Sugar
,
or
Honie
;
or
such
like
:
)
what
shall
wee
not
finde
in
the
Creator
?
if
the
foote-steppes
of
the
goodnesse
of
GOD
abound
in
pleasures
:
what
hath
not
the
fountaine
of
goodnesse
,
GOD
himselfe
?
The
consideration
whereof
caused
Moyses
to
sue
vnto
GOD
,
that
hee
might
see
his
glory
.
Compelled
Dauid
oftentimes
humbly
to
request
,
that
hee
might
behold
the
face
seeke
my
face
:
his
heart
answered
as
an
Eccho
,
O
Lord
I
will
seeke
thy
face
.
And
as
a
man
not
contented
hee
treble●h
his
request
.
O
thou
shepheard
of
Israel
,
cause
thy
face
to
shine
vpon
mee
,
that
I
may
bee
saued
.
Twice
more
hee
prayeth
.
O
thou
shepheard
of
Israel
&c.
His
saluation
and
eternall
happinesse
,
hee
reposeth
in
the
sight
of
GOD
:
for
hee
knewe
full
well
,
that
in
his
presence
,
there
was
fulnes
of
ioy
for
euermore
.
Let
mee
Wee
may
(
saith
hee
)
sooner
tell
you
,
what
they
are
not
;
then
what
they
are
.
Yet
take
a
surusie
of
those
manifolde
benefits
,
which
GOD
bestoweth
vpon
our
base
,
and
ignoble
bodies
.
Shed
out
both
vpon
good
and
badde
,
from
the
Heauens
,
from
the
Ayre
,
from
the
Earth
,
from
the
Waters
,
from
light
,
from
darkenesse
,
from
heate
,
from
coldnesse
,
from
all
the
creatures
,
shed
also
out
,
by
succession
,
to
exclude
a
loathing
.
Doth
GOD
bestow
vpon
our
bodies
,
and
promiscuaily
vppon
all
;
these
excellent
benefits
?
Then
O
Lord
howe
great
and
wonderfull
are
those
good
things
which
thou
hast
laid
vp
for
thine
Elect
in
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
?
if
these
be
so
good
,
which
thou
hast
giuen
to
good
and
badde
:
what
shall
they
bee
,
which
thou
hast
reserued
onely
for
the
good
?
if
they
bee
soe
pleasant
,
which
thou
sendest
to
friendes
,
and
enemies
:
howe
sweete
are
those
,
which
thy
friends
shall
enioy
?
if
there
bee
so
many
comfortes
in
the
valley
of
teares
:
what
shall
there
bee
in
the
day
of
marriage
?
if
thou
beest
so
kind
vnto
vs
,
in
this
prison
of
ours
:
how
wilt
thou
imbrace
and
hugge
vs
,
when
we
come
into
thy
Kingdome
?
Into
that
euerlasting
Kingdome
,
where
euerlasting
glory
shall
bee
vpon
our
heads
:
where
that
which
we
would
haue
,
shal
be
present
with
vs
:
and
that
we
would
not
haue
,
shal
be
as
sent
from
vs
:
where
there
shal
be
a
measure
of
ioy
,
heaped
vp
,
shaken
together
,
pressed
downe
,
running
ouer
;
mensura
sine
mensura
(
as
Bernard
speaketh
)
a
measure
without
measure
.
Where
we
shall
haue
health
without
sicknesse
:
strength
without
weakenesse
.
freedome
,
without
bondage
:
beautie
without
blacknesse
:
Knowledge
without
ignorance
,
plenty
without
want
:
peace
without
trouble
:
safety
without
feare
:
life
without
death
:
glory
without
shame
.
Where
wee
shall
be
filled
with
ioy
:
yet
beeing
filled
wee
shall
still
desire
,
least
our
fulnesse
procure
a
loathing
:
and
in
desiring
wee
shall
alwayes
bee
filled
,
least
our
desire
beget
a
greeuing
:
(
to
conclude
)
neither
eye
hath
seene
,
nor
eare
hath
heard
,
nor
heart
of
man
can
conceiue
those
excellent
things
that
are
prepared
for
vs
.
Neyther
can
GOD
giue
more
:
nor
man
receiue
more
then
we
shall
there
inioy
.
And
is
not
this
then
a
most
lamentable
losse
,
to
bee
debarred
from
these
ioves
of
Heauen
?
Mee
thinkes
the
remembrance
of
it
should
dismaye
the
heart
of
a
wicked
man
.
When
hee
recounteth
with
himselfe
that
hee
shall
bee
shutte
out
off
doores
with
Dogges
,
that
hee
shall
be
excluded
from
those
vnspeakable
ioyes
,
which
CHRIST
IESVS
hath
bought
with
his
pretious
heart
bloud
:
that
hee
shall
bee
bereft
of
that
glory
,
whereof
the
beauty
of
the
most
glorious
Creatures
is
but
a
simple
shadow
:
that
hee
shall
be
cast
out
from
that
pure
,
bright
,
and
large
place
of
happinesse
:
from
an
Eternall
Kingdome
.
Did
the
losse
of
the
Arke
of
great
measure
of
ioy
;
which
is
so
infinite
as
it
cannot
enter
into
vs
,
but
wee
must
enter
into
it
:
Thou
good
and
faithfull
seruant
enter
into
thy
Maisters
ioy
.
O
wofull
,
and
vnsufferable
losse
!
more
then
can
bee
counternayled
by
the
gayning
of
ten
thousand
Worldes
:
Nay
all
the
teares
which
shall
be
in
Hell
:
will
(
saith
Chrisostome
)
neuer
be
sufficient
,
to
bewayle
the
losse
of
Heauen
.
And
is
this
all
the
punishment
,
the
impenitent
shall
sustaine
?
shall
they
onely
loose
the
ioyes
of
Heauen
?
we
may
not
stay
heere
:
They
shal
perish
,
they
shall
likewise
feele
the
terrible
paines
of
Hell
.
Many
motiues
are
there
(
saith
Saint
Hierom
)
to
stirre
vs
vp
to
amendment
of
our
liues
.
The
consideration
of
the
teares
,
and
of
the
bloud
,
which
CHRIST
shedde
for
sinners
:
our
owne
ennumerable
offences
;
the
weaknesse
of
our
bodies
,
and
frailty
of
our
liues
:
GODS
continued
mercy
towardes
vs
:
his
Iustice
and
reuenging
power
:
but
especially
the
feare
of
loosing
the
ioyes
of
Heauen
.
All
these
are
as
spurres
to
prick
vs
forward
to
repentance
:
and
as
Trumpets
to
rowse
vs
vp
from
our
carnall
securitye
.
Yet
such
is
the
dulnesse
of
many
,
and
so
dead
a
sleepe
are
some
in
their
sinnes
,
as
such
motiues
as
these
will
worke
but
small
effect
in
them
.
Let
CHRIST
weepe
till
his
Head
,
and
Heart
ake
:
let
him
suffer
neuer
so
extreame
Torments
:
let
sinnes
bee
as
redde
as
scarlet
:
and
liues
of
all
thinges
most
vncertaine
:
shewe
GODS
mercies
,
tell
of
his
iudgments
,
Preach
of
the
losse
of
Heauen
.
Yet
were
there
no
Hell
to
receiue
them
;
or
Tortures
prouided
for
them
:
they
would
easily
put
off
all
these
with
a
Tush
:
and
bee
as
resolute
for
their
owne
destruction
as
Hester
was
for
the
sauing
of
her
people
,
If
wee
perish
,
wee
perish
.

Wicked
These
in
the
Scriptures
,
are
expressed
by
diuers
fire
▪
hee
that
is
not
written
in
the
booke
of
life
:
is
sent
into
a
lake
of
fire
.
a
Worme
:
their
worme
shall
not
die
.
Verme
roditur
conscientia
,
igne
cremantur
corpora
:
(
saith
Bernard
)
with
the
worme
is
their
consciences
gnawed
,
and
with
the
fire
are
their
bodies
burned
.
Sometimes
againe
,
are
they
set
out
,
by
the
loathsome
stench
of
Brimstone
:
vppon
the
wicked
hee
will
raine
fire
and
brimstone
.
Otherwhiles
by
weeping
,
gnashing
of
teeth
.
Weeping
because
of
the
fire
that
will
not
be
quenched
:
and
gnashing
,
because
of
the
worme
that
wil
not
bee
killed
.
the
one
comming
from
rage
.
Sometimes
they
beare
the
names
of
thirst
,
of
hunger
,
of
sorrow
,
of
shame
.
And
such
penury
is
there
in
hell
,
as
there
is
nothing
to
relecue
the
damned
which
are
therein
.
The
rich
man
begged
a
droppe
of
water
,
and
could
not
haue
it
.
guttam
petijt
(
saith
Gregory
)
qui
micam
negauit
:
hee
craued
a
droppe
,
that
denied
a
crumme
.
Neyther
is
it
a
little
torment
to
bee
imprisoned
,
and
tortured
by
the
vgglie
Fiendes
of
hell
:
by
those
Etheopian
Angelles
;
(
as
Cyrill
calleth
them
)
whose
armes
(
saith
Cassian
)
are
like
the
heades
of
Dragons
,
whose
eyes
shoote
forth
arrowes
of
fire
:
whose
teeth
,
are
like
the
teeth
of
Elephants
;
whose
tayles
are
like
the
tayles
of
Scorpions
,
that
is
gushfull
,
and
grisly
Diuils
:
if
the
sight
of
one
of
them
be
able
to
bereaue
a
man
of
his
wittes
:
O
how
great
will
the
horrour
be
,
when
they
shall
all
appeare
?
And
what
doth
the
place
of
punishment
afford
?
that
place
of
confusion
?
of
darknesse
?
of
chaines
?
of
most
horrible
shapes
?
but
euen
stinging
his
soule
:
imagine
boyling
brimstone
to
bee
powred
vppon
him
;
that
with
the
heat
thereof
,
hee
is
scalded
:
with
the
smoake
thereof
,
hee
is
stifled
,
and
with
the
noysome
sauour
continually
choaked
:
let
him
weepe

wayle
,
wring
his
handes
,
and
stand
gnashing

let
him
be
euer
languishing

pining
with
want
of
foode
,
denay
him
all
things
which
may
any

ease
him

Conceiue
yet
further
that
he
is
bound

;
that
he
is
affrighted
and
tormented
with
vgglie
Diuells

compassed
round

horrible

Thinke
well
of
the
misery
of
such
a

and
know
that
these
are
the

of
an
impenitent

As
they
are
extream

are

a
flood
of
black
flimes
,
euer
flowing
:
ibi
dolores
torquent
animas
,
non
extorquent
,
puniunt

,
non
finiunt
:
(
as
Prosper
speaketh
)
there
is
a
Death
,
which
alwayes
liueth
,
and
a
Life
,
which
alwayes
dyeth
:
there
hee
that
tortoreth
,
fainteth
not
,
and
hee
that
suffereth
fayleth
not
:
There
is
Euer
parching
fire
,
for
warming
loue
:
Euer
banishment
,
for
reconcilement
:
Euer
heauinesse
,
for
singing
;
Euer
darknesse
for
shining
:
Euer
fetters
,
for
crownes
;
Euer
gnashing
of
teeth
,
for
clapping
of

:
Euer
miserable
immortality
and
immortall
miserve

Alasse
who
is
able
(
saith
Esay
)
to
dwell
in
euerlasting
burnings
?
one
day
,
they
will
come
vnto
an
end
;
and
the
damned
spirits
in
hell
,
had
they
but
a
little
hope
,
that
after
the
space
of
manye
thousand
,
thousand
yeares
they
should
bee
released
:
this
little
sparke
in
the
middest
of
their
flames
,
would
in
some
sort
make
them
ioyfull
:
but
Euer
to
burne
,
Euer
to
boyle
,
Euer
to
weepe
,
Euer
to
wring
,
Euer
to
bee
in
chaynes
,
to
suffer
vnsufferable
torments
.
Euerlasting
paynes
?
This
is
that
which
cutteth
heart-strings
a
sunder
.
Yet
is
not
this
all
.
For
as
they
are
eternall
with-out
redemption
:
so
are
they
Generall
with-out
exception
.
For
first
;
all
suffer
them
:
and
iudge
you
,
what
a
dolefull
sight
it
will
bee
,
to
see
infinite
millions
of
males
and
females
,
continually
without
any
intermission
,
hacking
and
hewing
,
their
teeth
together
:
to
heare
howling
and
crying
,
Woe
,
woe
,
be
vnto
vs
,
that
euer
wee
were
borne
:
to
heare
one
Diuel
,
one
damned
Ghost
,
calling
vnto
another
,
to
strike
,
to
rend
,
to
kill
,
to
spoyle
,
to
heape
on
coales
,
to
poure
on
Brimstone
:
like
one
that
is
pressing
to
death
,
who
calleth
for
more
waights
to
bee
cast
vpon
him
.
Secondly
as
they
all
suffer
in
all
parts
,
in
all
the
members
of
their
bodies
,
in
all
the
powers
of
their
soules
.
they
haue
corporall
flames
with-out
,
and
spirituall
flames
with-in
:
no
part
;
no
power
is
free
.
Hast
thou
offended
with
thy
Head
?
thou
shalt
haue
scalding
:
hast
thou
offended
with
thine
Eyes
?
thou
shalt
haue
weeping
:
hast
thou
offended
with
thy
Mouth
?
thou
shalt
haue
howling
:
with
thy
Tongue
?
thou
shalt
haue
scorching
:
with
thine
Eares
?
thou
shalt
haue
yelling
:
with
thy
Nose
?
thou
shalt
haue
stincking
:
with
thy
Feete
?
thou
shalt
haue
fettering
:
with
thy
Handes
?
thou
shalt
haue
wringing
:
with
thy
Heart
?
thou
shalt
haue
gnawing
;
in
thy
Soule
,
and
Body
,
burning
,
and
boyling
.
Pro
disparibus
generibus
peccatorum
sunt
disparia
tormenta
suppliciorum
(
saith
Saint
Augustine
)
euery
man
shall
receiue
according
to
his
seuerall
Hells
tortures
,
by
things
of
no
accompt
.
Put
thy
foote
into
a
seething
bath
,
and
how
dost
thou
grieue
?
what
sorrow
dost
thou
conceiue
?
if
thou
beest
vexed
with
a
sharp
burning
ague
;
how
dost
thou
tosse
,
and
tumble
,
and
art
out
of
quiet
?
is
the
scalding
of
thy
foote
,
or
a
fit
of
an
Ague
so
grieuous
vnto
flesh
and
bloud
?
which
are
but
Flea-bitings
,
no
though
thou
did
dest
abide
them
,
thy
whole
life
long
?
O
howe
then
wilt
thou
bee
able
to
endure
euerlasting
burnings
?
Will
CHRIST
now
profit
thee
,
who
stretched
his
armes
out
●pon
the
Crosse
for
sinners
?
No
,
hee
will
now
NOW
IESVS
CHRIST
our
Lord
,
and
GOD
,
Euen
the
Father
which
hath
loued
vs
,
and
giuen
vs
euerlasting
consolation
by
his
spirit
:
and
good
hope
through
grace
:
purge
our
dead
consciences
,
and
stablish
our
hearts
in
euery
good
word
and
worke
vnto
the
end
▪
that
beeing
made
the
seruants
of
GOD
,
wee
may
haue
our
fruit
in
holinesse
,
and
in
the
end
eternall
life
.
Amen
