CHRISTS
TEARES
OVER
IERVSALEM
.
SInce
these
bee
the
dayes
of
dolor
and
heauinesse
,
wherein
(
as
holy
Dauid
The
Lord
is
knowne
by
executing
iudgement
,
and
the
axe
of
his
anger
is
Omnipotent
Sauiour
,
it
is
thy
Teares
I
intend
to
write
of
,
those
affectionate
Teares
,
which
in
the
23.
and
24.
of
Mathew
thou
weptst
ouer
Ierusalem
and
her
Temple
;
Be
present
with
me
(
I
beseech
thee
)
personating
the
passion
of
thy
loue
.
O
dew
thy
spirit
plentiful
into
my
inke
,
and
let
some
part
of
thy
diuine
dreariment
liue
againe
in
mine
eyes
.
Teach
me
how
to
weepe
as
thou
wepst
,
and
rent
my
heart
in
twaine
with
the
extreamity
of
ruth
.
I
hate
in
thy
name
to
speake
coldly
to
a
quick-witted
generation
.
Ratlier
let
my
braines
melt
all
to
inke
,
and
the
floods
of
affliction
driue
out
mine
eyes
before
them
,
then
I
should
be
dull
and
leaden
in
describing
the
dolour
of
thy
loue
.
Farre
be
from
me
any
ambitious
hope
of
the
vain
merite
of
Art
:
may
that
liuing
vehemence
I
vse
in
lament
,
onely
proceed
from
a
heauen-bred
hatred
of
vncleannesse
and
corruption
.
Mine
owne
wit
I
cleane
disinherit
,
the
fiery
Clouen-tongued
inspiration
bee
my
Muse.
Lend
my
words
the
forcible
wings
of
the
Lightnings
,
that
they
may
pierce
vnawares
into
the
marrow
&
reynes
of
my
Readers
.
New
mint
my
mind
to
the
likenesse
of
thy
lowliness
:
file
away
the
superfluous
affectation
of
my
profane
puft
vp
phrase
,
that
I
may
bee
thy
pure
simple
Orator
.
I
am
a
child
,
(
as
thy
holy
Ieremy
sayd
)
and
know
not
how
to
speake
;
yet
,
On
nia
possum
in
IT
is
not
vnknowen
,
by
how
many
and
sundry
waies
God
spake
by
Visions
,
Dreames
,
Prophecies
and
Wonders
,
to
his
chosen
Ierusalem
,
onely
to
moue
his
chosen
Ierusalem
wholly
to
cleaue
vnto
him
.
Visions
,
Dreames
,
Prophecies
and
Wonders
,
were
in
vaine
:
This
gorgious
strumpet
Ierusalem
,
too
to-much
presuming
of
the
promises
of
old
,
went
a
whoring
after
her
own
inuentions
;
She
thought
the
Lord
vnseparately
tide
to
his
Temple
,
and
that
he
could
neuer
be
diuorced
from
the
Arke
of
his
Couenant
;
that
hauing
bound
himselfe
with
an
oath
to
Abraham
,
he
could
not
(
though
he
would
)
remoue
the
Law
out
of
Iude
,
or
his
Iudgement-seat
from
Mount
Silo.
They
erred
most
temptingly
&
contemptuously
;
for
God
euen
of
stones
(
as
Christ
told
them
afterward
)
was
able
to
raise
vp
children
to
Abraham
.
But
what
course
tooke
the
high
Father
of
Heauen
&
Earth
,
after
he
had
vnfruitfully
practiced
all
these
meanes
,
of
Visions
,
Dreams
,
Wonders
and
Prophecies
?
There
is
a
Parable
in
the
21.
of
Mathew
,
of
a
certaine
Housholder
that
planted
a
Vineyard
,
hedged
it
round
about
,
made
a
Wine-presse
therein
,
and
built
a
Tower
,
and
let
it
out
to
Husband-men
,
and
went
into
a
strange
Country
.
When
the
time
of
fruite
drew
neere
,
he
sent
his
seruants
to
the
Husband-men
to
receiue
the
increase
therof
.
The
Husband-men
made
no
more
a
do
,
but
(
his
Seruants
comming
)
beate
one
,
killed
another
,
and
stoned
the
third
Againe
he
sent
other
Seruants
,
more
then
the
first
,
and
they
did
the
like
vnto
them
.
Last
of
all
,
he
sent
his
owne
Sonne
,
saying
:
They
will
reuerence
my
Sonne
,
but
they
handled
him
far
worse
then
the
former
.
The
Hous-holder
that
planted
the
Vineyarde
and
hedg'd
it
round
about
,
was
Israels
merciful
I●…hou●…h
,
who
in
Israel
planted
his
Church
,
or
his
Winepresse
:
made
it
a
people
of
no
people
,
and
a
Nation
beyond
expectation
.
Long
did
he
blesse
them
,
and
multiply
their
seed
on
the
face
of
the
earth
,
as
the
sand
of
the
Sea
,
or
the
starres
of
heauen
:
from
al
their
enemies
he
deliuered
them
,
and
brought
their
name
to
bee
a
by-word
of
terror
to
the
Kingdomes
round
about
them
;
Their
Riuers
ouerflowed
with
Milke
and
Honie
,
their
Garners
were
filled
to
the
brim
:
euery
man
had
wel-springs
of
Oyle
and
Wine
in
his
house
,
and
finally
,
there
was
no
complaint
heard
in
their
streets
.
The
time
of
fruite
drew
neere
,
wherein
much
was
to
be
required
of
them
to
whom
much
was
giuen
:
hee
sent
his
seruants
,
the
Prophets
,
to
demand
his
rent
,
or
tribute
of
thansgiuing
at
their
hands
.
Some
of
them
they
beat
,
others
they
killed
,
others
they
stoned
,
and
this
was
all
the
thanksgiuing
they
returned
.
And
then
he
sent
other
Prophets
or
Seruants
more
then
the
first
,
and
they
did
the
like
vnto
them
:
yet
could
not
all
this
cause
him
proceed
rashly
vnto
reuenge
.
The
Lord
is
a
God
of
long
patience
and
suffering
:
nor
will
he
draw
out
his
sword
vnaduisedly
in
his
indignation
.
Stil
did
he
loue
them
,
because
once
he
had
loued
them
,
and
the
more
their
ingratitude
was
,
the
more
his
grace
abounded
:
hee
neglected
the
death
of
his
seruants
,
in
comparison
of
the
saluation
of
them
he
accounted
his
Sons
.
He
excused
them
himselfe
vnto
himselfe
,
and
sayd
:
Peraduenture
,
they
tooke
not
these
my
seruants
I
sent
,
for
my
Seruants
,
but
for
seducers
and
deceiuers
,
and
therupon
entreated
them
so
vncurteously
:
I
will
send
my
only
naturall
Sonne
to
them
,
whom
they
(
being
my
adopted
Sonnes
)
cannot
chuse
but
reuerence
and
listen
to
.
This
his
naturall
Sonne
was
Christ
Iesus
,
whom
hee
sent
from
Heauen
to
perswade
with
these
Husband-men
:
Hee
sent
him
not
with
a
strong
power
of
Angels
,
to
punish
their
pride
and
ingratitude
as
he
might
:
He
sent
him
not
roially
trained
and
accompanied
like
an
Embassador
of
his
greatnes
,
nor
gaue
he
him
any
Commission
to
expostulate
proudly
of
iniuries
,
but
to
deale
humbly
,
and
meekly
with
them
,
and
not
to
constraine
but
to
entreat
them
.
He
sent
his
owne
only
Sonne
alone
,
like
a
sheepe
to
the
slaughter
,
or
as
a
Lambe
should
be
made
a
Legate
to
the
Wolues
.
When
he
came
on
earth
,
what
was
his
behauiour
?
Did
he
first
shew
himselfe
to
the
chiefe
of
these
Husband-men
the
Scribes
&
Pharisies
?
Did
he
take
vp
any
stately
lodging
according
to
his
degree
?
Was
he
sumptuous
in
his
attire
,
prodigal
in
his
fare
,
or
haughty
in
his
looks
,
as
Embassadors
wont
to
be
?
None
of
these
:
Instead
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisies
,
he
first
disclosed
himselfe
to
poore
Fishermen
:
for
his
stately
lodging
,
he
tooke
vp
a
Cribbe
or
a
Manger
,
and
afterward
the
house
of
a
Carpenter
:
His
attire
was
as
mean
as
might
be
,
his
fare
ordinary
,
his
looks
lowly
.
He
kept
company
with
Publicans
and
sinners
,
the
very
out-cast
of
the
people
;
yet
in
their
company
was
he
not
idle
,
but
made
all
he
spake
or
did
preparatiues
to
his
Embassie
.
If
any
Noble-man
(
though
neuer
so
highly
discended
)
should
come
alone
to
a
King
or
Queene
in
Embassage
,
without
pompe
,
without
followers
,
or
the
apparell
of
his
state
,
who
would
receiue
him
,
who
would
credite
him
,
who
would
not
scorne
him
?
It
was
necessary
that
Christ
(
comming
thus
alone
from
the
High-commaunder
of
all
Soueraignties
,
the
controller
of
all
Principalities
and
Powers
)
should
haue
some
apparant
testimony
of
his
excellencie
.
According
to
the
vanity
of
man
,
he
thought
it
not
meete
to
place
his
magnificence
in
earthly
boast
,
as
in
the
pride
of
shame
,
which
is
apparell
,
or
in
the
multitude
of
men
after
him
,
for
so
met
wicked
Esau
his
Brother
Iacob
.
but
in
working
miracles
aboue
the
imagination
of
man
,
and
in
preaching
the
Gospell
with
power
and
authority
;
Whereby
,
after
hee
had
throughly
confirmed
himselfe
,
to
be
the
owner
of
the
Vineyards
true
Sonne
,
and
that
these
ill
Hus-bandmen
the
Iewes
,
should
haue
no
credible
or
truth-like
exception
left
them
,
(
that
they
tooke
him
for
a
counterfeit
or
colourable
practiser
:
)
he
went
into
their
chiefe
assemblies
,
and
there
(
to
the
High-priests
&
Heads
of
their
Sinagogues
)
freely
deliuered
his
message
,
declared
from
whence
he
came
,
gently
expostulated
their
ill
dealing
,
desired
them
to
haue
care
of
themselues
:
told
them
the
danger
of
their
obstinacy
,
and
wooed
them
(
with
many
faire
promises
)
to
repent
and
be
conuerted
.
All
this
preuailed
not
,
they
set
him
at
nought
,
as
they
reiected
his
Fathers
other
Seruants
the
Prophets
:
Wherefore
his
last
refuge
was
,
to
deale
plainly
with
them
,
and
explaine
to
the
full
what
plagues
and
warres
were
entring
in
at
their
gates
,
for
their
disloyaltie
and
doggednesse
.
In
the
11.
of
Mathew
,
he
pronounceth
grieuous
woes
to
Corazin
and
Bethsaid●…
:
in
diuerse
other
places
he
intermixeth
curses
with
blessings
,
tempers
Oyle
with
Vineger
,
teares
with
threates
:
denounceth
sighing
,
and
in
his
sighes
wel-neere
swoundeth
:
euen
as
a
Father
constrained
to
giue
sentence
on
his
owne
Sonne
.
In
the
13.
of
Luke
,
hee
telleth
how
often
he
had
beene
an
intercessor
for
the
repriue
of
their
punishment
.
The
Husband-man
which
is
my
Father
(
sayth
he
)
hath
come
many
yeeres
together
to
a
Figge-tree
in
his
Vineyard
,
to
demaund
fruite
of
it
,
and
found
none
.
What
hath
hindered
him
from
cutting
it
downe
but
I
,
who
haue
tooke
vpon
me
to
be
the
dresser
of
the
Vineyard
:
and
desired
him
to
spare
it
this
yeere
,
and
that
yeere
,
and
I
would
prune
it
,
dung
it
,
and
digge
round
about
it
,
and
then
if
it
brought
not
forth
fruit
,
let
him
deale
with
it
as
he
pleased
.
Almost
this
30.
yeere
haue
I
prun'd
it
,
dung'd
it
,
digd
round
about
it
:
that
is
,
reproued
,
preached
,
exhorted
with
all
the
wooing
words
I
could
,
endeuouring
to
mollify
,
melt
,
and
pierce
your
hearts
,
yet
all
will
not
serue
;
my
prayers
and
my
paines
,
in
stead
of
bringing
foorth
repentance
in
you
,
bring
forth
repentance
in
my selfe
.
As
I
sayd
before
,
no
remedy
,
or
signe
of
any
breath
of
hope
,
was
left
in
their
Common-wealths
sinne-surfetted
body
,
but
the
malady
of
their
incredulity
,
ouer-maistred
heauenly
phisick
.
To
desperate
diseases
must
desperate
Medicines
be
applide
.
When
neither
the
white-flagge
or
the
Red
which
Tamburlaine
aduaunced
at
the
siedge
of
any
Citty
,
would
be
accepted
of
,
the
black-flag
was
set
vp
,
which
signified
there
was
no
mercy
to
be
looked
for
:
and
that
the
misery
marching
towards
them
was
so
great
,
that
their
enemy
himselfe
(
which
was
to
execute
it
)
mournd
for
it
.
Christ
,
hauing
offered
the
Iewes
the
white-flag
of
forgiuenes
and
remission
,
and
the
red-flag
of
shedding
his
blood
for
them
,
when
these
two
might
not
take
effect
,
nor
work
any
yeelding
remorse
in
them
,
the
black-flagge
of
confusion
and
desolation
was
to
succeede
for
the
obiect
of
their
obduration
.
This
black-flagge
is
waued
or
displayed
in
the
23.
of
Mathew
,
where
directing
his
speech
to
his
Disciples
and
the
multitude
,
against
the
Scribes
&
Pharisies
that
were
the
Princes
of
the
people
,
he
first
vrgeth
the
infamous
disagreement
of
their
liues
and
their
doctrines
:
which
that
it
should
breed
no
scandalous
back-slyding
in
the
harts
of
his
Hearers
,
he
inserteth
this
caution
,
Do
as
they
say
,
not
as
they
doe
.
And
to
like
effect
saith
S.
Augustine
,
Then
on
the
sodaine
starting
backe
,
as
ouer-examining
the
words
he
had
sayd
,
and
condemning
himselfe
(
in
his
thought
)
for
being
so
bitter
:
he
presently
weepeth
and
excuseth
it
in
these
tearmes
,
that
it
was
not
his
fault
but
theirs
,
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
which
killest
the
Prophets
,
and
stonest
them
that
are
sent
vnto
thee
.
That
is
,
which
are
guilty
of
all
the
accusations
my
Father
in
this
time
would
not
in
pitty
lay
against
thee
:
yea
,
feared
to
be
cruel
in
once
suspecting
of
thee
,
though
now
they
are
proued
,
How
often
would
I
have
gathered
thy
Children
together
,
as
the
Henne
gathereth
her
Chickins
together
vnder
her
wings
,
and
ye
would
not
?
How
often
would
I
haue
reuokt
,
reduced
,
and
brought
you
into
the
right
way
,
But
you
would
not
?
Therefore
your
habitation
shall
be
left
deso
-
So
that
in
these
words
most
euidently
you
see
,
he
cleereth
himselfe
,
and
leaueth
them
vnexcusable
.
The
more
to
penetrate
and
inforce
,
let
vs
suppose
Christ
in
a
continued
Oration
thus
pleading
with
them
.
IErusalem
the
Daughter
of
my
people
,
I
am
sore
vexed
and
compassionate
for
thee
,
Ierusalem
the
midst
of
the
earth
,
the
mother
of
vs
all
,
in
the
midst
of
whom
I
haue
wrought
my
saluation
:
Ierusalem
that
for
all
the
good
seede
I
haue
sowne
in
thee
,
affordest
nothing
but
stones
to
throw
at
my
Prophets
,
thou
that
slayest
whom
I
send
to
saue
thee
,
and
imprisonest
any
man
that
wisheth
thy
peace
;
thy
sinnes
are
so
great
,
that
when
I
looke
on
thee
,
mine
eyes
can
scarce
perswade
me
that
thou
standest
,
but
that
thou
art
sunck
downe
like
Sodome
,
and
entombed
in
Ashes
like
Gomorra
.
O
let
me
pitty
thee
,
for
I
loue
thee
impatiently
.
A
thousand
shapes
of
thy
confusion
muster
before
mine
eyes
,
&
the
paines
on
the
crosse
I
am
to
sustaine
;
cannot
bee
so
great
paines
vnto
mee
,
as
to
think
on
the
ruine
and
massacre
that
is
already
trauailing
towards
thee
.
Famine
,
the
Sworde
and
the
Pestilence
,
haue
all
three
sworne
and
conspired
against
thee
:
Thou
(
one
poore
citty
)
by
these
three
vnreleming
enemies
shalt
be
ouercome
.
Ehu
,
quantus
equis
,
quantus
viris
adest
sudor
?
Alas
,
what
huge
sweat
and
toyle
is
at
hande
for
Horse
and
Man
?
Heere
do
I
weepe
in
vaine
,
for
no
man
regardeth
me
,
no
man
wayleth
with
me
;
Heere
doe
I
prophecie
,
that
my
weeping
in
vayne
,
shall
bee
the
cause
of
a
hundred
thousand
Fathers
and
Mothers
weeping
in
vaine
.
O
that
I
did
weepe
in
vaine
,
that
your
defilements
&
pollutions
gaue
mee
no
true
cause
of
deplorement
.
Often
wisht
I
,
that
I
might
haue
sayd
to
mine
eyes
and
eares
they
li●…e
,
when
they
haue
told
me
what
they
haue
seene
&
heard
of
thy
treasons
.
I
wisht
that
I
might
be
as
wretched
as
the
damned
,
so
my
sences
therein
were
deceiued
.
I
am
not
deceiued
,
t
is
thou
that
deceiuest
thy
Sauiour
,
and
deceiuest
thy selfe
to
cleaue
vnto
Sathan
.
Sathan
,
refraine
thine
odious
embraces
,
the
bosome
of
Ierusalem
is
mine
:
touch
not
the
body
contracted
to
me
;
Improbe
tolle
manus
,
quam
tangis
nostra
futura
est
,
she
will
touch
him
,
he
stretcheth
not
out
his
hand
to
her
,
but
she
breaketh
violently
from
mee
,
to
run
rauishtly
into
his
rugged
armes
.
Alas
!
the
one
halfe
of
my
soule
,
why
wilt
thou
back-slide
thus
?
I
loue
and
can
haue
no
loue
againe
:
I
loue
thee
for
thy
good
,
thou
lou'st
him
that
flatters
thee
for
thy
hurt
.
What
lesse
thing
then
to
beleeue
and
be
saued
?
How
canst
thou
beleeue
&
wilt
not
heare
?
Thy
prayers
are
friuolous
vnto
God
,
if
thou
deniest
to
heare
God
:
He
must
first
heare
God
,
that
will
be
heard
of
God
.
I
haue
heard
quietly
all
thy
vpbraidings
,
reproofes
and
derisions
:
as
when
thou
saydst
I
was
a
drunkard
,
and
possessed
with
a
diuell
,
that
I
cast
out
diuels
by
the
power
of
Beelzebub
the
Prince
of
the
diuels
:
that
I
blasphemed
,
was
mad
,
and
knew
not
what
I
spake
;
Nor
was
I
any
more
offended
with
these
contumelies
,
then
when
thou
calledst
me
the
son
of
a
Carpenter
.
If
I
giue
eare
to
all
your
bitternesse
,
will
not
you
vouchsafe
me
a
little
audience
when
I
blesse
you
.
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
that
stonest
,
and
astoniest
thy
Prophets
with
thy
peruersnesse
,
that
lendest
stonie
eares
to
thy
Teachers
,
and
with
thine
yron
breast
,
drawest
vnto
thee
nothing
but
the
Adamant
of
Gods
anger
,
what
shall
I
doe
to
mollifie
thee
?
The
raine
mollifieth
hard
stones
,
O
that
the
stormy
tempest
of
my
Teares
raight
soften
thy
stony
heart
.
Were
it
not
harder
then
stone
,
sure
ere
this
I
had
broken
and
brused
it
,
with
the
often
beating
of
my
exhortations
vpon
it
.
Moses
strooke
the
Rocke
and
water
gusht
out
of
it
,
I
(
that
am
greater
then
Moses
)
haue
strooken
you
with
threats
,
and
you
haue
not
mourned
.
O
ye
heauens
,
be
amazed
at
this
,
be
afraide
and
vtterly
confounded
:
my
people
haue
drunke
out
of
a
Rocke
in
the
Wildernesse
,
and
euer
since
had
Rockie
hearts
.
Yet
will
the
Rockes
tremble
when
my
Thunder
falls
vpon
them
.
The
Mason
with
his
Axe
hewes
and
carues
them
at
his
pleasure
.
All
the
thunder
of
iudgements
which
I
spend
on
this
stony
Ierusalem
,
cannot
make
her
to
tremble
or
refraine
from
stoning
my
Prophets
.
Should
I
raine
stones
vpon
her
,
with
them
shee
would
arme
her selfe
against
my
holy
ones
.
Little
doth
she
consider
,
that
all
my
Prophets
are
Embassadours
,
and
the
wronging
of
an
Embassadour
amongst
mortall
men
,
is
the
breaking
of
the
law
of
Nations
;
which
breach
or
wrong
,
no
King
or
Monarch
but
(
at
his
corronation
)
is
sworne
to
reuenge
.
If
earthly
Kings
reuenge
any
little
wrong
done
to
their
Embassadours
,
how
much
more
shall
the
King
of
all
kings
,
reuenge
the
death
and
slaughterdom
of
his
Embassadors
?
The
Angels
in
heauen
,
as
they
are
the
Lords
Embassadors
,
(
in
regard
of
their
owne
safety
)
would
prosecute
it
,
though
he
should
ouer-slip
it
.
The
diuell
that
vseth
daily
to
sollicite
the
Murtherers
owne
conscience
for
vengeance
against
himselfe
,
will
hee
spare
to
put
the
Lord
in
minde
of
his
auncient
decree
,
A
murtherer
shall
not
liue
.
God
said
vnto
Cain
,
The
voice
of
thy
brother
Abels
blood
,
cryeth
to
me
out
of
the
earth
:
that
is
,
not
only
Abels
owne
blood
,
but
the
blood
of
all
the
sonnes
that
were
to
issue
from
his
loynes
,
cry
vnto
me
out
of
the
earth
.
It
is
sayd
in
the
6.
of
Genesis
,
whosoeuer
shall
shedde
humaine
blood
,
his
blood
shall
be
shed
likewise
.
Eye
for
eye
,
and
tooth
for
tooth
,
much
more
life
for
life
shall
be
repayd
,
and
this
equity
or
amends
,
the
veriest
Begger
or
contemptiblest
creature
on
the
earth
(
cutte
off
before
his
time
)
shall
be
sure
to
haue
.
If
I
doe
them
right
,
that
in
their
owne
enmities
lauish
their
liues
,
shall
I
let
their
blood
bee
troden
to
durte
vnder
foote
,
and
bee
blowne
backe
by
the
windes
into
the
crannies
of
the
earth
,
(
when
it
offers
to
sprinkle
vp
to
heauen
)
who
in
my
seruice
spende
their
liues
.
At
my
head
Ierusalem
threw
stones
when
she
stoned
my
Heralds
.
Who
stabbeth
or
defaceth
the
picture
of
a
King
,
but
would
doe
the
like
to
the
King
himselfe
,
if
he
might
doe
it
as
conueniently
.
Euery
Prophet
or
messenger
from
the
Lord
,
representeth
the
person
of
the
Lord
,
as
a
Herald
representeth
his
Kings
person
,
and
is
the
right
picture
of
his
royalty
.
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
what
thou
hast
doone
to
the
least
of
my
Prophets
,
thou
hast
done
vnto
mee
likewise
:
My
Prophets
thou
hast
stoned
,
me
likewise
thou
hast
stoned
,
and
with-stood
.
The
very
stones
in
the
streete
shall
ryse
vp
in
iudgement
against
thee
.
By
the
old
Law
,
he
that
had
blasphemed
,
reuiled
his
Parents
,
or
commited
adultery
,
was
stoned
to
death
by
the
Prophets
and
Elders
;
Thou
hast
blasphemed
,
reuiled
thy
(
spirituall
)
Parents
,
committed
adultery
with
thine
owne
abhominations
:
and
loe
,
contrariwise
thine
Elders
and
Prophets
thou
stonest
to
death
.
Can
I
see
this
and
not
rise
vp
in
wrath
against
thee
?
For
this
shalt
thou
grinde
the
stones
in
the
Myll
with
Sampson
,
and
whet
thy
teeth
vpon
the
stones
for
hunger
:
and
if
thou
askest
any
man
bread
,
he
shall
giue
thee
stones
to
eate
.
The
dogges
shall
licke
thy
blood
on
the
stones
like
Iezabels
;
&
not
a
stone
be
found
to
couer
thee
when
thou
art
dead
.
One
stone
of
thy
Temple
,
shall
not
be
left
vppon
another
that
shall
not
bee
throwne
downe
.
The
stone
which
thy
foolish
Builders
refused
,
shall
be
made
the
head
stone
of
the
corner
.
Your
harts
(
which
are
Temples
of
stone
)
I
will
for-sweare
for
euer
to
dwell
in
.
There
shall
be
no
Dauid
any
more
amongst
you
,
that
with
a
stone
sent
out
of
a
sling
,
shall
strike
the
chiefe
Champion
of
the
Philistines
in
the
for-head
;
And
finally
,
you
shall
worship
stockes
and
stones
,
for
I
will
be
no
longer
your
God
.
O
Ierusalem
Ierusalem
,
all
this
shall
be-tide
thee
,
because
thou
stonest
the
Prophets
,
and
killest
them
that
are
sent
vnto
thee
.
The
Fathers
haue
eaten
sower-Grapes
,
and
the
Chyldrens
teeth
are
set
on
edge
:
your
Fathers
tooke
hard
courses
against
the
Prophets
,
killed
those
I
sent
vnto
them
;
And
if
you
had
no
other
crime
,
but
that
you
are
the
sonnes
of
them
that
killed
the
Prophets
,
it
were
too
to
sufficient
for
your
subuersion
,
but
you
yourselues
haue
stoned
the
Prophets
,
and
killed
those
I
sent
vnto
you
,
not
onely
you
your selues
,
but
your
sonnes
(
for
this
)
shall
be
put
to
the
edge
of
the
Sword
.
The
blood-thirsty
&
deceitfull
man
shall
not
liue
out
halfe
his
daies
.
Who
strikes
with
the
sword
,
shall
perrish
with
the
sword
.
He
that
but
hateth
his
brother
is
a
homicide
.
What
is
he
then
that
slayeth
his
Brother
?
Nay
more
,
what
is
he
that
slayeth
Gods
Brother
?
Not
one
that
beleeueth
in
me
,
and
doth
my
wil
,
but
is
my
Brother
and
Sister
.
In
slaying
them
that
are
sent
to
declare
the
wil
of
God
,
you
resist
the
will
of
God
,
and
are
guilty
of
all
their
damnations
which
are
yet
vnconuerted
,
whom
liuing
,
their
preaching
might
haue
reduced
.
The
violating
of
any
of
the
Cömmandements
is
death
,
Thou
shalt
not
kill
,
is
one
of
the
principall
Commaundements
:
your
fault
at
the
first
sight
deserueth
Hell-fire
.
What
doe
you
but
proclaime
open
warre
against
heauen
,
when
you
destroy
or
ouer-throwe
any
of
the
Temples
of
the
holy
Ghost
?
(
which
are
mens
bodies
.
)
They
are
the
Tabernacles
which
the
Lord
hath
chosen
(
by
his
Spirit
)
to
dwell
in
.
But
the
bodies
of
my
Saints
and
Prophets
(
which
you
slay
and
stone
)
are
no
triuiall
ordinary
Tabernacles
,
such
as
Peter
my
Disciple
,
would
haue
had
me
to
make
in
the
Wildernesse
,
for
Moses
,
Elias
and
my selfe
,
but
Tabernacles
like
the
Tabernacle
at
Ierusalem
,
where
I
haue
ordained
my
name
to
be
worshipped
.
Their
words
as
my
words
I
will
haue
worshipped
;
Their
heads
are
the
Mounts
from
whence
I
speake
to
you
in
a
holy
flame
,
as
to
your
fore-fathers
wandring
in
the
desert
.
I
haue
tolde
you
here-to-fore
they
are
the
Salt
of
the
Earth
,
with
whose
Prayers
and
Supplications
,
if
this
masse
of
sinne
were
not
seasoned
,
it
would
sauour
so
detestably
in
Gods
nostrils
,
hee
were
neuer
able
to
endure
it
.
They
are
the
eyes
and
the
light
of
the
world
,
if
the
eye
lose
his
light
,
all
the
whole
body
is
blind
;
and
hence
it
came
that
they
were
surnamed
Seers
,
for
they
only
foresaw
,
praied
,
and
prouided
for
the
people
.
I
tell
you
plainly
,
if
it
were
possible
for
you
to
plucke
the
Sunne
out
of
Heauen
,
and
you
should
do
it
,
&
so
consequently
leaue
all
the
world
in
darknesse
,
you
should
not
be
liable
to
so
much
blame
as
you
now
are
,
in
killing
them
I
send
vnto
you
.
They
are
your
Seers
,
your
Prophets
(
your
chiefe
Eyes
)
which
you
haue
slaine
,
destroied
and
put
out
.
Was
Caine
a
Vagabond
on
the
face
of
the
earth
for
killing
but
one
Abel
?
tenne
thousand
iust
Abels
haue
you
slaine
,
that
were
more
neere
,
and
ought
to
haue
beene
more
deere
to
you
then
Brothers
,
and
shall
I
not
destitute
your
habitation
for
it
,
&
scatter
you
as
vagabonds
through-out
the
Empires
of
the
world
?
As
you
haue
made
no
conscience
to
stone
my
Prophets
,
and
slay
them
I
sent
vnto
you
,
so
shall
the
strange
Lords
that
leade
you
captiue
,
and
they
amongst
whom
many
hundred
yeers
you
shal
soiurne
,
make
no
conscience
to
cut
your
throats
for
your
treasure
,
and
giue
a
hundred
of
you
together
,
to
their
Fencers
and
Executioners
,
to
try
their
weapons
on
for
a
wager
,
and
winne
maisteries
with
deepe
wounding
you
.
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
deepe
woes
and
calamities
hast
thou
incurd
,
in
stoning
my
Prophets
,
and
slaying
them
I
sent
vnto
thee
.
How
often
would
I
haue
gathered
thy
children
together
when
they
went
astray
?
How
often
would
I
haue
brought
them
home
into
the
true
sheep-fold
when
I
met
them
straying
?
I
came
into
the
World
to
no
other
end
,
but
to
gather
together
the
lost
Sheepe
of
Israell
.
You
are
the
flock
and
Sheepe
of
my
pasture
,
when
I
would
haue
gathered
you
together
,
you
would
not
heare
my
voice
,
but
hardned
your
harts
.
You
gather
your selues
in
counsaile
against
me
,
euery
time
I
seeke
to
call
you
or
to
gather
you
.
Deny
if
you
can
,
that
I
sent
not
my
Prophets
(
in
all
ages
)
to
gather
you
:
That
with
my
Rodde
and
my
staffe
of
correction
,
I
haue
not
sought
(
from
time
to
time
)
to
gather
you
?
that
by
benefits
and
manifold
good
turnes
,
I
haue
not
tryde
(
all
I
might
)
to
tye
you
,
or
gather
you
vnto
me
.
Lastly
,
that
in
mine
own
person
,
I
haue
not
practised
a
thousand
waies
to
gather
you
to
repentance
and
amendment
of
life
.
If
you
should
deny
it
,
and
I
not
contradict
it
,
the
diuell
(
my
vttrest
enemy
)
would
confirme
it
.
Let
me
speake
truely
and
not
vauntingly
,
(
although
it
be
lawfull
to
boast
in
goodnes
)
such
hath
alwaies
bin
my
care
to
gather
you
,
that
I
thought
it
not
enough
to
gather
my selfe
,
but
I
haue
prayed
to
my
Father
,
to
ioyne
more
Labours
and
Gatherers
with
me
,
to
reape
and
gather
in
his
Haruest
.
How
often
haue
I
gathered
the
multitude
together
,
and
spoke
vnto
them
.
When
the
people
were
flocked
or
gathered
vnto
mee
out
of
all
Citties
and
had
nothing
to
eate
,
I
fed
them
myraculously
with
fiue
Barlie-loues
&
two
fishes
.
I
would
not
haue
shewd
the
wonders
of
my
God-head
,
but
to
gather
you
together
.
The
first
gathering
that
I
made
,
was
of
poore
Sea-faring
men
,
whome
I
haue
preferd
to
be
myne
Apostles
.
Would
you
haue
beene
gathered
together
when
I
would
haue
had
you
,
you
had
gathered
to
your selues
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
,
and
all
the
riches
thereof
.
Now
what
haue
you
gathered
to
your selues
,
but
ten
thousand
testimonies
in
the
Sonne
of
Gods
testimony
,
that
he
desired
and
besought
you
to
suffer
your selues
to
be
gathered
by
him
,
and
you
would
not
?
Souldiours
that
fight
scatteringly
,
and
doe
not
gather
themselues
in
ranke
or
battaile
array
,
shall
neuer
winne
the
day
.
If
you
knew
how
strong
and
full
of
stratagems
the
diuell
were
,
with
how
many
Legions
of
lustfull
desires
he
commeth
embattailed
against
you
:
that
secret
ambushes
of
temptations

As

the

And

it

All

No

but
of

of
Corne
gathered

no

There

Geese

The

bee

What

A

O

is
it
(

for

If

but
the

not

not

themselues
into

,
(
which
I

but
scorn
to
be
directed
,
mustered
,
and
gathered
by
me
,
when
with
the
myldest
discipline
I
offer
to
marshal
them
.
Sorrie
I
am
Ierusalem
,
that
my
kindnes
and
conuersing
with
thee
,
hath
left
thee
without
any
cloke
or
clowde
of
defence
.
It
shall
not
be
layde
to
thy
charge
,
that
thou
wert
ignorant
,
and
foolish
,
and
knewest
not
how
to
gather
thy selfe
into
my
family
or
houshold
the
Church
:
but
that
when
thou
mightest
haue
been
gathered
or
called
,
thou
refusedst
,
and
contemned
;
neither
shall
it
bee
imputed
that
thou
wentest
astray
,
but
that
going
astray
,
thou
reuiledst
and
strookest
at
him
that
would
haue
gathered
or
brought
thee
into
the
right
way
.
Ah
woe
is
mee
,
that
euer
I
opened
my
mouth
to
call
thee
,
or
gather
thee
,
for
now
(
by
opening
my
mouth
,
and
thou
stopping
thine
eares
when
I
opend
it
)
I
haue
opened
&
enwidened
Hell
mouth
,
to
swallow
thee
and
deuoure
thee
.
I
tooke
flesh
vpon
me
,
to
the
end
that
Hell
(
not
Ierusalem
)
might
perish
vnder
my
hand
.
The
vanquishment
of
that
vgly
nest
of
Harpies
,
hath
beene
reserued
as
a
worke
for
me
,
before
al
beginnings
;
Now
know
I
not
which
I
may
first
confound
,
Hell
or
Ierusalem
,
since
both
know
me
,
and
haue
armed
their
fore-heads
against
me
.
Blessed
is
thy
land
,
O
Ierusalem
,
for
I
was
borne
in
it
.
Cursed
is
thy
Land
,
O
Ierusalem
,
for
I
was
borne
in
it
.
Borne
I
am
to
doe
all
Countries
good
but
thee
.
Thee
I
came
principally
to
doe
good
to
,
but
thou
resistest
the
good
I
would
doethee
;
Thou
interdicts
and
prohibits
me
with
reproaches
&
threats
,
from
gathering
thee
,
and
doing
thee
good
.
Of
my
birth
thou
reapest
no
benefite
but
this
,
that
I
shall
come
at
the
last
day
to
beare
witnes
against
thee
.
Blinde
and
inconsiderate
,
what
wilt
thou
doe
to
thine
Enemie
,
that
thus
entreatest
thy
Friend
?
that
thus
reiectest
thy
Redeemer
?
O
were
thy
sinne
(
though
not
to
be
defended
)
yet
any
way
excusable
,
it
were
some-what
.
Why
did
I
euer
behold
thee
to
make
thee
miserable
,
and
mine
eyes
thus
miserable
in
beholding
.
I
might
haue
beheld
the
innocent
Saints
and
Angels
,
that
would
neuer
haue
angerd
me
,
but
reioiced
me
:
the
Cherubins
and
Seraphins
would
vncessantly
haue
praysed
me
;
I
should
not
haue
prayde
them
to
execute
my
will
,
(
for
they
would
haue
done
it
with
a
becke
:
)
much
lesse
haue
solicited
them
as
I
do
thee
,
to
consent
to
saue
thy selfe
.
I
should
haue
but
sayd
the
word
to
the
sencelesse
Planets
,
and
it
had
been
done
:
to
thy
Children
(
more
sencelesse
then
the
Planets
)
can
I
not
say
that
word
,
which
not
onely
they
will
refuse
to
doe
,
but
deride
.
For
this
shall
thine
Enemies
gather
themselues
about
thy
City
,
and
smite
thee
:
the
Angels
shall
gather
thee
to
the
Lake
of
fire
and
Brimstone
,
thou
shalt
then
gather
thy
browes
together
in
howling
and
lamentation
;
And
(
as
Ieremy
sayd
)
The
carkasses
of
thy
dwellers
,
shall
lie
as
the
dung
in
the
Fielde
,
or
the
handfull
after
the
Mower
,
and
none
shall
there
be
to
gather
them
vp
.
All
this
hadst
thou
preuented
,
if
thou
wouldst
haue
permitted
me
to
gather
thee
.
I
saw
into
thy
frailty
and
infirmitie
,
that
thou
wert
not
able
to
gather
thy selfe
,
I
tooke
compassion
on
thee
,
because
thou
wert
like
sheep
which
had
no
Sheep-heard
.
I
forsooke
all
my
immortall
pleasures
,
and
mind-rauishing
melody
,
to
descend
and
make
thee
mine
,
to
come
and
gather
thee
to
the
glorie
prepared
for
thee
,
The
greatest
worke
was
this
purpose
of
thy
gathering
,
that
euer
was
vnder-taken
in
Heauen
or
Earth
.
Thus
did
I
argument
with
my selfe
,
to
salue
thy
imperfections
of
the
not
gathering
thy selfe
.
The
Horse
tameth
not
him-selfe
:
the
Cammel
tameth
not
him-selfe
:
the
Oxe
tameth
not
him-selfe
:
the
Beare
,
the
Lyon
,
the
Elephant
,
tame
not
them-selues
.
Then
why
should
I
require
,
that
Man
shauld
tame
,
recall
,
bridle
,
bring
vnder
,
or
gather
himselfe
?
But
as
the
Horse
,
the
Oxe
,
the
Cammell
,
the
Beare
,
the
Lyon
,
the
Elephant
,
require
Man
to
tame
them
:
so
it
is
requisite
that
GOD
should
tame
Man
,
that
God
alone
should
gather
him
vnto
him
.
Content
I
was
to
take
vpon
me
that
vnthankfull
office
of
taming
or
gathering
,
but
thou
wert
not
content
to
bee
so
tamed
or
gathered
.
It
did
not
irke
me
so
much
that
thou
wert
vntamed
,
or
vngathered
,
as
that
(
knowing
thy selfe
in
that
case
,
)
thou
wert
vnwilling
to
be
tamed
and
gathered
.
Thou
could'st
not
despayre
of
mine
ability
to
tame
thee
&
gather
thee
;
for
if
man
tameth
the
beastes
he
neuer
made
,
shall
not
I
gather
thee
,
alter
thee
,
&
tame
thee
,
that
made
thee
?
Easie
is
my
yoke
,
and
my
burthen
is
light
:
I
would
not
haue
tamed
thee
,
or
tempted
thee
aboue
thy
strength
;
onely
I
would
haue
curbd
or
reaned
thee
a
little
to
the
right
hand
,
kept
thee
from
swallowing
in
sin
with
greedinesse
.
Suppose
(
as
the
tamer
of
all
Wild-beasts
)
I
had
some-time
vsed
my
whyp
or
my
goade
;
had
it
beene
so
much
?
Your
Horses
which
you
tame
and
spurre
,
and
cut
their
mouthes
with
raining
,
and
finally
kill
,
with
making
carry
heauy
burdens
many
yeeres
together
:
you
wil
not
giue
so
much
reward
to
(
when
they
are
deade
)
as
buriall
,
but
cast
them
to
the
Foules
of
the
ayre
,
to
bee
deformedly
torne
in
peeces
;
I
(
hauing
tamed
thee
,
and
gathered
thee
home
vnto
me
,
enfeofe
thee
with
indefinite
blessednes
,
(
being
deade
a
space
)
restore
to
thee
,
not
onely
thy
flesh
(
in
more
purity
,
)
but
the
iust
number
of
thy
hayres
,
install
thee
in
eternity
with
mine
Angels
,
where
thou
shalt
neuer-more
need
to
be
gathered
,
or
tamed
,
where
there
shall
bee
no
aduersity
or
tribulation
that
shall
exercise
or
try
thee
,
but
eternall
felicity
to
feed
thee
:
and
that
without
any
care
,
forecast
,
or
plotting
on
thy
part
,
(
such
as
in
the
maintenance
,
or
earthly
weale
is
wont
.
)
I
shall
bee
to
thee
all
in
all
,
thy
riches
,
thy
strength
,
thine
honour
,
thy
Patron
,
thy
prouider
.
Yet
all
this
hope
cannot
moue
thee
to
consent
to
be
tamed
or
gathered
vnto
me
.
My
voyce
which
cryeth
,
Returne
,
Returne
:
Whether
wanderest
thou
long
strayer
,
is
trouble-some
and
hatefull
vnto
thee
,
thou
canst
by
no
meanes
disgest
it
:
it
is
thy
Aduersary
in
the
way
,
which
since
I
haue
warned
thee
to
agree
with
,
and
thou
hast
refused
,
it
shall
draw
&
hale
thee
vnto
iudgement
,
the
Iudge
deliuer
thee
to
Death
his
Sariant
,
the
Sariant
to
the
diuell
,
(
conuicted
soules
Iaylor
:
)
thence
shalt
thou
not
escape
till
thou
hast
paid
the
vtmost
farthing
.
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
why
shouldest
thou
gather
and
intangle
thy selfe
in
so
many
vneuitable
snares
,
when
(
by
gathering
thy selfe
vnder
my
wing
)
thou
mayst
auoyde
them
?
What
haue
I
required
of
thee
,
but
to
gather
thy selfe
,
&
agree
with
my
voice
thy
Aduersary
?
Nothing
but
that
thou
wouldest
haue
a
care
of
thy
health
and
well-doing
.
A
thing
which
thou
(
in
reason
)
not
I
,
ought
to
exact
and
require
of
thy selfe
:
yet
I
,
(
as
I
were
thy
Gardian
or
Ouer-seer
,
&
thy
Father
Abraham
dying
had
bequeath'd
thee
wholy
to
my
trust
)
follow
thee
,
haunt
thee
by
my
Spirit
,
daily
and
hourely
importune
thee
to
remember
and
gather
thy selfe
.
How
often
haue
I
(
to
this
effect
)
chidingly
communed
with
thy
soule
and
conscience
?
Sinful
Ierusalem
,
why
deferst
thou
to
gather
thy selfe
,
&
agree
with
my
voyce
in
the
way
?
Yet
thou
maist
agree
,
yet
thy
way
is
not
finished
,
yet
thy
Aduersary
walkes
by
thee
.
Why
doost
thou
proroge
till
thy
wretched
life
be
at
his
waies
end
?
Is
there
any
other
life
,
any
other
way
,
(
when
this
way
of
woe
is
ended
)
wherein
thou
maist
agree
with
thine
Aduersarie
?
The
Iudge
,
the
Sariant
,
the
prison
,
thou
must
then
awaite
,
and
despaire
of
opportunitie
euer
after
,
to
agree
or
be
gathered
to
grace
:
but
looke
to
be
gathered
like
grasse
on
the
house
top
,
and
throwne
into
the
fire
.
Promise
not
vnto
thy selfe
too
many
yeeres
trauailing
in
the
way
:
Thinke
not
that
thou
shalt
euer
liue
:
thy
way
may
be
cut
off
ere
thou
bee
aware
:
a
thousand
casualties
may
cut
thee
off
in
the
way
.
But
how
long
or
how
short
so
ere
thy
way
be
,
my
voice
(
thine
Aduersary
)
like
thy
shadow
still
haunteth
thee
,
still
treadeth
on
thy
heeles
,
still
calls
and
cries
out
vpon
thee
to
gather
vp
thy
accounts
and
agree
with
it
.
Shamest
thou
not
(
vild
image
of
carelesnesse
)
so
long
to
be
cald
on
for
so
light
a
matter
?
so
long
to
liue
at
variance
with
so
mighty
an
Aduersary
?
It
is
all
one
as
if
thou
shouldest
owe
an
earthly
Iudge
money
,
(
who
hath
the
Law
in
his
hand
)
and
braue
him
,
and
denie
to
come
to
composition
,
saying
:
If
I
owe
it
you
,
gather
it
or
recouer
it
as
you
can
.
How
thinkest
thou
,
is
there
any
earthly
Iudge
would
spare
thee
or
for-beare
thee
as
I
haue
done
?
My
voice
,
as
it
is
my
voice
,
is
thy
friend
,
but
as
thou
abusest
it
,
(
turnes
thine
eares
from
ii
,
and
wilt
not
agree
with
it
)
it
is
thine
Aduersary
;
It
wisheth
thee
well
,
and
thou
wishest
thy selfe
ill
;
It
bids
thee
crouch
and
stoope
to
the
Prophets
I
send
,
and
thou
stonest
them
;
It
bids
thee
pitty
the
Widdow
and
the
fatherless
,
and
thou
oppressest
them
;
It
bids
thee
repent
thee
of
the
euill
thou
hast
committed
,
and
thou
doublest
it
;
It
bids
thee
gather
and
gird
vp
thy
loines
close
,
and
take
the
staffe
of
Stedfastnes
in
thy
hand
,
that
if
the
flesh
and
the
diuell
assault
thee
in
the
way
,
thou
maist
encounter
them
coragiously
.
Instead
of
girding
and
gathering
vp
thy
loines
,
thou
vnloosest
them
to
all
licentiousnes
;
For
the
staffe
of
stedfastnes
,
thou
armest
thy selfe
with
the
broken
Reed
of
inconstancy
;
and
for
incountering
and
contending
with
the
flesh
and
the
diuell
,
most
slauishly
thou
kissest
and
embracest
them
.
So
thou
thy selfe
(
I
altogether
loath
)
makest
my
voice
thy
enemy
.
No
friend
so
firme
,
but
by
oft
ill
vsage
may
be
made
a
foe
.
No
meruaile
thou
makest
me
thy
foe
,
that
art
a
foe
to
thy selfe
.
Hee
that
loueth
iniquitie
,
hateth
his
owne
soule
:
hee
that
hateth
his
owne
soule
,
can
neuer
loue
his
neighbour
;
insomuch
as
there
is
no
man
liuing
,
●…hat
can
loue
another
better
then
himselfe
.
If
then
his
●…est
loue
to
himselfe
,
be
to
hate
himselfe
,
his
loue
to
his
neighbour
must
be
a
degree
lower
,
there
is
no
remedie
.
The
Law
commaundeth
,
Loue
thy
neighbour
as
thy selfe
:
And
he
fulfilleth
the
Law
by
hating
his
neighbour
as
himselfe
.
I
say
vnto
you
,
Hee
that
hateth
his
neighbour
,
is
guiltie
of
the
breach
of
all
the
commaundements
:
whence
it
necessarily
ariseth
,
that
hee
which
loues
not
his
owne
soule
,
is
guilty
of
the

Soule-hating
,
Apostata
Ierusalem
,
that
wouldest
neuer
be
gathered
into
any
compasse
of

life
,
I
heere
accuse
thee
as
a
Homicide
of
thine
owne
life
,
as
a
transgressor
of
all
the
commaundements
,
in
hating
thy selfe
.
The
most
vnfortunatest
is
my
fortune
of
any
that
euer
lou'd
,
to
loue
those
,
that
not
onely
hate
mee
,
but
hate
them-selues
.
O
Ierusalem
,
not
the
Infidell-Romanes
,
which
shall
inuade
thee
,
and
make
thy
Citty
(
now
cleped
a
Citty
of
peace
)
a
shambles
of
dead
bodies
,
teare
down
thy
Temple
,
and
sette
vp
a
brothel
▪
house
in
thy
sanctuary
,
not
they
(
I
say
)
shall
haue
one
droppe
of
thy
blood
layde
to
their
charge
,
not
one
stone
of
thy
Temple
or
Sanctuarie
,
testificatory
against
them
;
Thy
blood
shall
be
vpon
thine
owne
head
,
whose
transgressions
,
violently
thrust
swords
into
their
hands
.
Thy
Temple
and
thy
Sanctuarie
shall
both
cry
out
against
thy
security
for
sacriledg
.
The
Arke
,
wherein
the
Tables
of
couenaunt
are
layde
,
shall
haue
the
Tables
taken
away
,
and
in

a
blacke
Regester
of
thy
misdemeanures
laid
in
it
:
yea
,
my
Father
(
if
all
witnesses
should
faile
)
would
stand
vp
and
article
against
thee
himselfe
,
how
thou
hast
driuen
him
(
with
thy
detestable
whoredomes
)
out
of
his
consecrated
dwelling
place
.
O
that
thou
knewest
the
time
of
thy
visitation
!
O
that
thou
wouldest
haue
beene
gathered
together
!
O
that
thou
wouldest
haue
had
a
care
of
thy selfe
,
had
care
of
me
!
I
must
be
slaughtered
for
thee
,
and
yet
worke
no
saluation
for
thee
.
One
crosse
alone
(
cruel
Ierusalem
)
is
not
able
to
sustaine
the
weight
of
thine
iniquities
:
ten
times
I
must
be
crucified
ere
thou
be
clensed
.
For
sinne
I
came
to
suffer
,
thy
sinne
exceedeth
my
suffering
;
It
is
too
monstrous
a
matter
for
my
mercy
or
merits
to
worke
on
.
It
woundeth
me
more
with
mediating
on
it
,
then
all
the
Speares
or
Nayles
can
wounde
●…e
,
that
are
to
passe
through
me
.
I
wold
quite
renounce
and
for-sweare
mine
owne
safety
,
so
I
might
but
extort
from
thee
one
thought
of
thine
own
safety
.
Carefull
am
I
for
thee
carelesse
.
Againe
,
this
renueth
my
vnrest
,
that
I
,
which
am
the
Lord
and
Authour
of
life
,
must
bee
the
Authour
and
Euidencer
against
thee
of
death
.
If
thou
hadst
neuer
seene
the

,
thy
walking
in
darkenes
wold
haue
brought
thee
no
waylement

Ignorantia

Ignoraunce
excuseth

if

Thou
hast
not
halfe
an

,
(
hence
is
my

)
not
a

,
not
the
hundreth
part
of

not

not

Neuer
did
I
looke
on
such
a
manifest
vnmasked
leprous
face
,
on
a
prisoner
conuicted
so
mute
.
Sore
am
I
impassioned
for
the
storme
thy
tranquillity
is
in
child
with
.
Good
Ieremy
,
now
I
desire
with
thee
,
that
I
had
a
Cottage
of
way-faring
men
in
the
Wildernes
,
where
I
might
leaue
my
people
and
liue
,
for
they
be
all
Adulterers
,
and
a
band
of
Rebels
.
A
Tormentor
(
that
abiureth
commiseration
)
when
he
first
enters
into
the
infancy
of
his
occupation
,
would
collachrimate
my
case
,
and
rather
chuse
to
haue
beene
tortured
himselfe
,
them
torment
me
with
ingratitude
as
thou
doost
.
More
and
more
thou
addest
to
my
vnease
,
and
acquainst
mine
eyes
with
the
infirmities
of
anguish
;
Hauing
no
sinne
before
,
thou
hast
almost
made
me
commit
sin
,
in
sorrowing
for
thy
sinnes
.
Yet
though
I
haue
sounded
the
vtmost
depth
of
dolour
,
and
wasted
mine
eye-bals
well-neere
to
pinnes-heads
with
weeping
,
(
as
a
Barber
wasteth
his
Ball
in
the
water
,
)
a
further
depth
of
dolour
would
I
sound
,
mine
eyes
more
would
I
wast
,
so
I
might
waste
and
wash
away
thy
wickednesse
.
So
long
haue
I
wasted
,
so
long
haue
I
washed
and
embained
thy
filth
;
in
the
cleare
streames
of
my
braine
,
that
now
I
haue
not
a
cleane
Teare
left
more
,
to
wash
or
embaline
any
sinner
that
comes
to
me
.
The
fount
of
my
teares
(
troubled
and
mudded
with
the
Toade-like
stirring
and
long-breathed
vexation
of
thy
venimous
enormities
,
)
is
no
longer
a
pure
siluer
Spring
,
but
a
miry
puddle
for
Swine
to
wallow
in
.
Black
and
cindry
(
like
Smiths-water
)
are
those
excrements
that
source
downe
my
cheekes
,
and
farre
more
sluttish
then
the
vgly
oous
of
the
channell
.
T
is
thou
alone
(
vlcerous
Ierusalem
)
that
hast
so
fouled
and
soyled
them
.
In
seeking
to
gather
fruite
of
thee
,
I
gather
nothing
but
stayning
Berries
,
which
embrued
my
hands
,
and
almost
poysoned
my
hart
.
Neuer
wold
I
mention
this
or
mone
me
,
if
thou
hadst
not
embrued
or
brawned
thine
owne
hands
,
(
not
in
Berries
)
but
in
blood
:
and
more
then
(
almost
)
poysoned
thine
owne
hart
.
What
talke
I
of
poyson
,
when
it
is
become
as
familier
to
thee
as
meate
&
drinke
.
Thou
hast
vsed
it
so
long
for
meate
and
drinke
,
that
true
nourishing
meate
and
drinke
thou
now
takest
for
poyson
.
Consuetudo
est
altera
natura
:
Custome
hath
so
engrafted
it
in
thy
nature
,
that
now
,
not
onely
poyson
not
hurts
thee
,
but
fostereth
and
cherisheth
thee
.
What-soeuer
thou
art
is
poyson
,
and
none
thou
breathest
on
but
thou
poysonest
.
With
Athenagoras
of
Argus
,
thou
neuer
feelest
any
paine
when
thou
art
stung
with
a
Scorpion
;
Thou
hast
no
sting
or
remorse
of
conscience
.
Thy
soule
is
cast
in
a
dead-sleep
,
and
may
not
be
awaked
though
Heauen
&
Earth
should
tumble
together
.
For
discharge
of
my
duty
,
and
augmentation
of
thine
euerlasting
malediction
,
since
Teares
,
threats
,
promises
,
nor
any
thing
will
peirce
thee
,
heere
I
make
a
solemne
protestation
,
what
my
zeale
and
feruent
inclination
hath
beene
(
euer
since
thy
first
propagation
)
to
win
&
weane
thee
from
sathan
,
and
notwithstanding
,
thou
stonedst
my
Prophets
,
and
slewest
them
I
sent
vnto
thee
:
I
stil
assayed
to
reuoke
thee
,
&
bring
thee
back
againe
to
thy
first
image
,
not
once
,
or
twise
,
or
thrise
,
but
I
cannot
tell
how
often
,
I
would
haue
gathered
thee
,
euen
as
a
Henne
gathereth
her
Chickins
vnder
her
wings
,
butthou
wouldest
not
.
Blame
me
not
though
I
giue
thee
ouer
,
that
hast
giuen
mee
ouer
:
long
patience
hath
dulled
my
humour
of
pitty
.
No
sword
but
will
loose
his
edge
in
long
striking
against
stones
.
My
leane
withered
hands
,
(
consisting
of
nought
but
bones
)
are
all
to
shiuerd
and
splinterd
in
their
wide
casos
of
skinne
,
with
often
beating
on
the
Anuile
of
my
bared
breast
.
So
penetrating
and
eleuatedly
haue
I
praid
for
you
,
that
mine
eyes
would
tayne
haue
broke
from
their
anchors
to
haue
flowne
vp
to
Heauen
,
and
mine
armes
stretcht
more
then
the
length
of
my
body
;
to
reach
at
the
Starres
.
My
heart
ranne
full-butt
against
my
breast
to
haue
broken
it
open
,
and
my
soule
flutterd
and
beate
with
her
ayry-winges
,
on
euery
side
for
passage
.
My
knees
crackt
and
the
ground
fledde
back
.
Then
(
O
Ierusalem
)
would
I
haue
rent
my
body
in
the
midst
(
like
a
graue
)
so
I
might
haue
buried
thy
sinnes
in
my
bowels
.
And
had
I
been
in
heauen
as
I
was
on
Earth
,
the
Sunne
should
haue
exhalted
from
thee
all
thy
trespasses
as
meteors
,
which
the
clowdes
his
Cofferers
receiuing
,
might
foorth-with
haue
conduited
downe
into
the
Sea
,
and
drowned
for
euer
.
Fooles
be
they
that
imagine
it
is
the
Windes
,
that
so
tosse
and
turmoile
them
in
the
deepe
,
they
are
no
winds
but
insurrectiue
sins
,
which
so
possesse
the
waues
with
the
spyrite
of
raging
.
I
drowned
all
the
sinnes
of
the
first
World
in
water
,
all
the
sinnes
of
the
first
World
now
welter
,
souse
,
and
beate
vnquietly
in
the
Sea
,
whither
the
World
of
waters
was
with-drawne
when
the
Deluge
was
ended
;
And
as
a
guilty
conscience
can
no where
take
rest
,
so
no
more
can
they
in
the
Sea
,
but
embolning
the
billowes
vppe
to
the
ayre
,
with
roring
and
howling
darte
them-selues
on
euery
Rocke
,
desiring
it
to
ouer-whelme
them
:
and
because
they
know
they
can
neuer
be
recouered
,
with
the
same
enuy
which
is
in
the
diuels
,
they
seeke
to
drowne
and
ramuerse
euery
ship
that
they
meete
.
If
happily
there
be
a
calme
,
it
is
when
they
are
weary
of
excruciating
them-selues
.
I
that
was
borne
to
suppresse
&
treade
downe
sinne
vnder
foote
,
in
the
night
time
,
(
when
that
sinne-inhabited
element
is
wont
to
be
most
lunaticke
)
walke
on
the
crests
of
the
surges
as
on
the
dry
land
.
Another
cause
why
the
Sea
so
swelleth
,
&
barketh
of
late
more
then
ordinary
,
is
,
for
when
I
sent
the
diuels
into
the
Heard
of
Swine
,
they
carried
them
head-long
into
the
Sea
,
where
they
drowned
and
perrisht
them
:
and
then
loth
to
come
to
land
to
be
controlled
and
dispossessed
againe
by
mee
,
they
entred
and
inhabited
the
Sea-monsters
,
such
as
the
Whale
,
the
Grampoys
,
the
Wasser-man
,
whome
they
haue
suborned
and
inspyred
to
lye
in
waite
for
Ships-wrack
.
Sinne
takes
no
rest
but
on
earth
,
and
on
earth
no
rest
in
the
night
,
but
the
day
.
The
night
is
blacke
like
the
diuell
,
then
hee
may
boldly
walke
abroade
lyke
the
Owle
,
and
his
eyes
nere
be
dazeled
.
Solus
c●…m
solo
hee
may
conferre
with
his
subiects
,
tempt
,
terrifie
,
insinuate
what
he
will
.
Hee
knowes
that
God
hath
therefore
hydde
all
other
obiects
from
mans
sight
in
the
night
,
that
then
he
should
haue
no
occasion
to
gaze
elswhere
,
but
full
leysure
to
looke
into
himselfe
.
In
which
regard
,
least
he
shold
looke
into
him selfe
,
and
so
repent
,
hee
will
not
let
him
see
with
his
owne
eyes
,
but
lendeth
him
other
eyes
of
despaire
or
security
to
see
withall
.
If
of
security
,
then
either
hee
perswades
him
there
is
no
God
,
and
that
Religion
is
but
subtile
Lawgyuers
policy
,
(
to
keepe
silly
fooles
in
awe
with
scare-crowes
:
)
or
that
if
there
be
a
God
,
he
is
a
wise
God
,
and
like
a
wise
Counsailer
,
troubles
not
himselfe
with
euery
vaine
twittle
twattle
,
of
this
man
,
or
that
man
,
but
considers
wherefore
we
are
made
,
and
beares
with
vs
thereafter
.
Yea
(
which
is
horrible
)
hee
sootheth
him
vp
,
that
if
God
would
not
haue
had
him
sinne
,
hee
would
neuerhaue
giuen
him
the
partes
or
the
meanes
to
sinne
with
.
If
he
be
a
whore-maister
,
hee
remembreth
him
how
Abraham
went
in
to
his
mayde
Hagar
:
How
Lot
committed
incest
with
his
Daughters
:
How
Dauid
lay
with
Berseba
,
and
slew
Vrias
:
And
how
I
(
my
selfe
)
woulde
not
let
the
woman
that
had
committed
adultery
bee
stoned
to
death
,
but
bidde
her
goe
home
to
her
house
in
peace
&
sinne
no
more
.
If
he
be
a
drunkerd
,
Noah
was
drunke
,
the
fore-named
Lot
was
drunke
,
and
Dauid
(
mencioned
before
likewise
)
made
Vrias
drunke
;
Yet
all
these
were
If
hee
bee
a
periurd
person
,
why
Peter
for-swore
himselfe
thrise
,
Ioseph
swore
by
the
life
of
Pharao
,
Dauid
swore
,
God
doe
so
and
so
to
mee
,
if
I
leaue
to
Nab
ill
yet
ere
night
,
one
to
pisse
against
the
walls
.
Yet
when
Naballs
wife
Abigall
(
vnwitting
to
her
husband
)
brought
him
a
lyttle
refreshing
,
his
humour
was
pacified
,
his
oth
was
dispenst
with
.
A
great
many
more
allegations
hath
hee
to
this
end
,
which
heere
to
recite
,
were
to
weapon
presumption
,
and
saue
the
diuell
a
labour
in
seducing
.
Murther
,
theft
,
(
what
not
)
hath
his
texts
to
authorise
him
.
Nothing
doth
profite
,
but
peruerted

Scripture
as
it
may
be
literally
expounded
,
and
sophistically

,
may
play
the

as
well
for

as
Heauen
,
and
sooner

Despaire
then
Fayth

Hath
not
the
diuel
his
Chappell
close
adioyning
to
Gods
Church
?
Is
hee
not
the
ambitious
Ape
of
GODS
Maiesty
?
And
as
he
hath
his
Tabernacle
(
O
Ierusalem
)
in
thy
Temple
,
so
,
hath
not
hee
his
Oracle
or
Tripos
in
his
Temple
at
Delphos
,
with
as
great
(
if
not
greater
)
sacrifices
,
oblations
&
offerings
then
are
in
Gods
Temple
?
Will
hee
not
take
vpon
him
to
worke
miracles
,
cure
diseases
,
&
be
an
Angell
of
light
,
that
is

hath
any
pryde
or
prosperity
,
but
it
enuies
and
aymes
at
.
The
Sunne
,
though
it
can
endure
no
more
Sunnes
but
it selfe
,
yet
it
can
take
in
good
part
to
haue
more
Planets
besides
it selfe
,
but
pryde
can
endure
no
Superiours
,
no
equals
,
no
ascendants
,
no
sprigs
,
no
grafts
,
no
likely
beginnings
.
Any
thing
but
vertue
it
can
tollerate
to
thriue
,
and
that
it
is
too-to
afrayd
of
.
Marke
a
Tyrant
when
you
will
,
and
hee
first
extirpates
the
adherents
to
vertue
.
Vertue
is
thrise
more
inuocating
for
honor
then
ambition
.
What
was
the
diuels
first
practise
in
Paradice
,
but
to
destroy
vertue
in
Adam
,
and
so
by
steps
to
destroy
him
,
by
destroying
vertue
in
him
?
Whome
slew
Caine
,
but
his
iust
or
vertuous
brother
Abel
?
He
was
afrayd
the
comparison
of
his
iustnes
or
vertue
,
would
make
him
incomparably
vgly
in
Gods
presence
.
Whom
hated
Esau
and
layd
waite
for
,
but
his
vpright
brother
Iacob
,
because
by
his
vertue
hee
had
ouer-reacht
him
in
the
blessing
of
his
byrth-right
(
Did
not
Saul
persecute
Dauid
,
onely
because
GOD
lou'd
him
?
So
through-out
the
whole
course
of
the
Scriptures
,
Vertue
purchaseth
Enuy
,
and
her
possessors
neuer
escape
briery
scratches
.
But
as
before
,
so
once
more
I
will
assertionate
,
Vertue
hath
no
enimy
but
pryde
.
I
my selfe
haue
no
enemy
but
Pryde
which
is
the
Summun
genus
of
sinne
,
and
may
well
be
a
conuertible
name
with
the
diuell
,
for
the
diuell
is
nought
but
pryde
,
and
pryde
is
an
absolute
diuell
.
But
for
pryde
,
Ierusalem
ere
this
had
gathered
it selfe
vnder
my
wing
:
Forsooth
she
disdained
to
be
taught
&
instructed
by
such
a
meane-titled
man
as
I.
But
for
pryde
of
despising
the
preaching
of
Noah
,
the
first
World
had
not
beene
deluged
.
But
for
pride
,
there
had
beene
no
trans-slation
of
Monarchies
.
If
Pharao
had
not
beene
so
proud
that
hee
would
not
let
your
fore-fathers
goe
,
(
but
kept
them
in
despight
of
me
,
)
I
had
neuer
plagued
him
as
I
did
.
The
reason
I
deceiu'd
you
Hierosolomites
&
Iewes
,
(
in
not
comming
in
pride
vnto
you
,
in
not
taking
the
maiesty
and
triumph
of
mine
eternity
,
)
was
,
because
I
would
not
partake
with
the
diuell
,
in
the
pompe
and
glory
of
this
World
,
which
is
proper
to
him
.
Did
not
he
(
presently
after
the
first
brute
of
my
Gospell
)
hoyse
me
vp
vnto
an
exceeding
high
mountaine
,
and
shewed
me
all
the
Kingdomes
of
the
world
,
and
the
glories
of
them
,
and
sayd
,
All
these
wil
I
giue
thee
,
if
thou
wilt
fall
downe
and
worship
mee
?
When
I
came
to
Abraham
in
his
Tent
,
and
to
Lot
in
Sodom
,
accompanied
with
another
Angel
,
I
tooke
vppon
me
no
pompous
shape
.
It
is
debasement
and
a
punishment
to
me
,
to
inuest
and
enrobe
my selfe
in
the
dregs
and
drosse
of
mortallity
.
I
would
resemble
the
similitude
of
the
meanest
,
to
gather
the
meanest
vnto
me
.
I
came
to
call
sinners
to
repentance
,
poore
sinners
,
beggerly
sinners
,
blind
sinners
,
impotent
sinners
,
as
wel
as
rich
sinners
,
noble
sinners
,
potentate
sinners
,
to
repen
tance
.
With
me
there
is
no
respect
of
persons
,
the
Kings
blood
attainted
of
conspiracie
against
mee
,
is
more
base
then
the
caytiues
or
pesants
.
What
was
Abraham
,
(
but
that
he
honoured
mee
,
)
I
should
out
of
his
loynes
multiply
a
Monarchy
.
There
is
no
cripple
or
lazer
by
the
high-way
side
,
but
would
haue
honoured
me
more
then
the
progeny
of
Abraham
,
if
I
had
but
bestowed
the
thousand
part
of
the
propitiousnes
I
haue
bestowed
on
the
progeny
of
Abraham
.
Shall
a
man
call
any
cripple
or
Beads-man
vnto
him
;
to
giue
almes
to
,
and
hee
will
not
come
at
him
:
but
contemptuously
cast
his
kinde
profer
behind
him
.
I
haue
called
you
(
that
often
haue
beene
Beggers
and
Beads-men
vnto
me
,
for
blessings
,
)
&
humbly
supplicationd
you
,
to
accept
of
my
largesse
I
lauisht
,
but
you
cryde
,
Auaunt
hypocrite
,
thy
proferd
ware
is
odious
,
we
'le
haue
nothing
to
doe
with
an
Innouater
.
What
hath
immortality
to
doe
with
mucke
?
Had
my
Father
no
employment
for
mee
,
but
to
sende
me
to
scrape
on
a
dung-hill
for
Pearle
,
where
nothing
will
thriue
but
Toade-stooles
?
Was
thought-exceeding
glorification
,
such
a
cloyance
and
cumber
vnto
me
,
that
I
must
leaue
it
:
as
Archesilaus
ouer-melodied
,
and
too-much
melowed
&
sugred
with
sweet
tunes
,
turned
them
aside
,
and
caused
his
eares
to
be
new
relished
with
harsh
,
sower
and
vnsauory
sounds
?
O
no
,
when
I
left
Heauen
to
liue
on
earth
,
I
left
perpetuall-springing
Summer
,
to
sleepe
on
Beddes
of
Ise
,
in
the
Frozen-zone
,
the
throne
of
Winter
.
My
super-aboundant
loue
to
men
on
earth
,
was
all
the
solace
I
proposed
to
my selfe
on
earth
.
Vbi
cuiusque
animus
est
,
ibi
animat
:
where
amans
minde
is
,
there
his
mirth
is
.
Myrth
was
to
me
no
mirth
,
whyles
thou
wert
not
gathered
vnto
mee
.
No
more
then
I
haue
gatherd
thee
,
can
I
gather
thee
:
As
a
Henne
gathereth
her
Chickins
,
so
would
I
haue
gathered
thy
Children
.
The
Henne
clocketh
her
Chickins
,
I
would
haue
clocked
and
called
them
by
my
preaching
;
The
Henne
shieldeth
them
,
and
fighteth
for
them
against
the
Puttocke
,
I
would
haue
shielded
them
,
and
secured
them
against
that
slie
Puttocke
sathan
.
I
would
haue
fought
for
them
,
with
hell
,
the
diuell
,
and
al
infernality
.
The
Henne
;
after
she
hath
clocked
&
called
her
chickins
,
keepeth
them
warme
vnder
her
soft
downe
,
walleth
them
in
with
her
winges
,
and
watcheth
for
them
whiles
they
sleepe
.
After
I
had
called
you
(
my
children
or
chickens
)
vnder
my
winges
,
which
is
,
into
my
Church
I
would
haue
beene
a
stronger
wall
vnto
you
,
then
the
wall
of
the
Tower
of
Babell
,
which
(
as
Writers
affirme
)
Happy
is
that
man
that
sitteth
in
the
shaddow
of
the
winges
of
the
almighty
:
vnhappy
are
you
,
that
haue
rather
sought
to
dwell
in
the
shaddow
of
death
,
then
vnder
the
shaddow
of
the
winges
of
the
Almighty
.
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
that
killest
my
Prophets
and
stonest
them
I
sent
vnto
thee
:
How
often
would
I
haue
gathered
thy
children
together
,
as
a
Henne
gathereth
her
Chickins
vnder
her
winges
,
but
you
woulde
not
.
What
is
more
tender
then
a
Henne
ouer
her
Chickins
?
So
tender
and
more
(
O
Ierusalem
)
haue
I
beene
ouer
thy
Children
,
yet
would
they
neuer
tender
themselues
,
but
tend
and
bend
all
their
courses
to
ruine
.
Neuer
could
I
gette
them
to
flocke
vnder
my
Wing
,
or
come
vnder
my
roofe
.
Who
takes
charge
of
him
,
that
in
a
Towne
of
warre
will
not
come
into
the
Towne
,
but
lye
wilfully
without
the
walles
?
No
charge
doe
I
take
of
any
that
will
not
come
within
my
walles
,
be
gathered
vnder
my
wing
,
but
liue
out
of
the
Church
.
Knew
you
what
a
fearefull
thing
it
were
,
to
liue
(
as
Out-lawes
)
from
the
winges
of
my
Church
,
to
let
ritches
,
promotion
,
or
any
worldly
respect
hinder
you
,
from
being
gathered
into
the
vnity
of
my
body
,
and
communion
of
Saints
,
you
would
vndoubtedly
forsake
all
and
follow
me
.
All
those
that
repayred
not
in
time
into
Noahs
arke
,
the
waters
ouertooke
and
drowned
.
Those
that
gathered
not
Manna
in
the
morning
it
did
them
no
good
.
Those
that
made
excuses
,
and
came
not
to
the
wedding
when
they
were
bidden
,
the
King
sent
forth
his
Warriours
,
and
destroyed
them
,
and
burnt
vp
their
Citties
.
Sencelesse
stones
are
more
obedient
vnto
Gods
voyce
then
you
,
for
the
stony-walls
of
Iericho
(
after
God
had
summoned
them
by
his
Priests
sounding
their
Trumpets
seauen
times
)
at
the
third
sound
they
prostrated
themselues
flat
.
Not
the
third
,
or
the
fourth
,
or
the
fift
sound
,
haue
you
with
stood
,
but
fiue
hundred
solemne
summons
and
sounds
;
No
iudgement
that
(
in
your
eares
)
I
or
any
can
sound
,
can
make
you
fall
prostrate
or
humble
your selues
.
Stil
you
wil
liue
as
runnagates
and
banished
men
,
from
Gods
iurisdiction
,
you
hadrather
the
diuell
should
gather
you
vp
then
he
.
I
haue
piped
,
and
you
haue
not
daunced
,
I
haue
lamented
,
and
you
haue
not
mourned
:
The
dayes
will
come
,
when
I
shall
be
taken
away
from
you
,
and
then
you
shall
wish
(
in
vayne
)
that
you
had
danct
after
my
pipe
,
and
borne
a
principall
part
in
my
Consort
of
mourning
.
Let
all
successions
and
Citties
,
be
warned
by
you
,
how
you
neglect
Gods
calling
:
let
euery
priuat
man
be
admonished
by
you
,
how
he
neglecteth
Gods
calling
.
By
benefites
,
by
sicknes
,
by
outward
crosses
,
signes
and
wonders
he
calleth
men
:
To
day
if
yee
will
heare
my
voyce
,
harden
not
your
hearts
:
That
is
,
at
this
present
when
I
call
you
,
harken
to
mee
.
Who
doth
not
harken
at
the
first
,
let
him
looke
to
be
hardned
.
Pharao
,
for
hee
would
not
at
the
first
voyce
or
message
let
the
children
of
Israell
goe
,
his
hart
was
hardned
.
God
when
his
voyce
will
not
bee
hearde
,
permitteth
the
diuell
to
go
and
try
if
his
voyce
will
be
heard
;
if
they
heare
the
diuels
and
not
his
,
then
hath
he
where-withall
to
conuince
them
.
Ierusalem
hath
hearde
the
voyce
of
God
,
crying
out
loud
in
her
streetes
and
hie
places
,
vnto
her
to
gather
herselfe
:
Her
streetes
,
and
al
her
hie
places
,
are
filled
with
the
ecchoes
of
Gods
voyce
.
The
stones
of
her
Turrets
haue
beene
so
mou'd
with
it
,
that
they
haue
opened
their
eares
,
&
receiued
his
eccho
into
them
,
and
that
the
Cryer
might
knowe
they
attended
the
wordes
which
he
spake
,
they
(
ecchoing
)
repeated
them
againe
.
The
very
eccho
of
the
walls
and
the
stones
,
shall
eccho
vnto
God
for
sharpe
punishent
against
you
;
And
let
any
but
reade
or
rehearse
this
sentence
,
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
how
often
would
I
haue
gathered
thy
chyldren
together
,
as
the
Henne
gathereth
her
Chickins
,
the
eccho
shall
replye
,
But
they
would
not
.
They
would
not
.
Thou
wouldest
not
indeede
.
And
no
damnation
hast
thou
but
thou
wouldst
not
.
I
offered
thee
peace
,
but
thou
wouldst
not
:
I
offred
thee
to
repent
&
be
baptized
,
but
thou
wouldst
not
:
I
offred
thee
(
if
thou
labourdst
and
wert
loden
)
to
ease
thee
,
but
thou
wouldst
not
:
I
offerd
thee
to
aske
and
thou
shouldst
haue
,
but
thou
wouldst
not
:
To
knocke
and
it
should
be
opend
,
but
thou
woldst
not
.
Great
euils
shalt
thou
endure
,
for
thou
wouldst
not
.
Great
euils
did
I
say
?
alas
little
euils
,
compared
to
the
euils
I
must
endure
onely
for
these
4.
words
,
But
thou
wouldst
not
.
Heu
melior
quanto
sors
tua
,
sorte
mea
est
.
My
body
shall
finde
a
Sepulcher
,
but
my
sorrow
neuer
any
:
for
thou
wouldst
not
.
For
euer
I
must
mourne
what
thou
for
euer
must
suffer
,
for
thou
wouldst
not
.
This
will
be
thyne
vtter
impeachment
,
that
the
very
Samaritans
(
whome
thou
accountest
Infidels
)
receiued
and
acknowledged
me
,
but
thou
wouldst
not
.
That
the
vncleane
spirits
,
departing
out
of
men
,
cryde
and
confest
mee
to
be
the
Sonne
of
God
,
but
thou
wouldst
not
.
And
lastly
,
that
the
Spirite
of
God
himselfe
,
(
discending
on
my
head
like
a
Doue
)
gaue
testimony
of
me
,
yet
thou
wouldst
not
.
Clamor
Sodomorum
multiplicatus
est
:
The
cry
of
thee
Ierusalem
,
(
the
second
Sodom
)
that
thou
wouldst
not
,
in
they
would
not
?
Niniuie
repented
at
the
preaching
of
Ionas
,
but
Ierusalem
at
the
preaching
of
her
Iesus
,
she
would
not
.
I
offerd
to
wash
her
feete
with
the
waters
of
my
tribulation
,
and
heale
euery
disease
and
malady
she
had
,
with
them
,
as
I
healed
the
leprosie
of
Naaman
with
the
waters
of
Iordan
:
but
ouer
the
waters
of
my
Teares
and
tribulation
,
shee
passeth
wouldst
not
.
Ouer
thy
principall
gates
,
and
the
doores
of
thy
Temple
,
let
therefore
this
for
an
Emprese
be
ingrauen
:
A
kind
compassionate
man
,
who
grieuing
to
see
a
serpentine
Salamander
fry
in
the
fire
,
(
so
pitteously
as
it
seemd
)
cast
water
on
the
raging
flames
to
quench
them
,
and
was
by
him
stung
to
death
for
his
labour
.
The
most
or
word
thereto
,
ATNOLVISTI
,
but
thou
wouldest
not
.
As
who
should
say
,
thank
thy selfe
though
thou
still
burnest
:
I
would
haue
ridde
thee
out
of
the
fire
:
but
thou
wouldst
not
.
By
stinging
mee
(
mortally
)
thou
disturbest
me
.
On
thee
Salamander-like
Ierusalem
,
haue
I
cast
the
coole
water
of
my
teares
,
to
keepe
Hell
fire
(
if
it
might
be
)
from
seeding
on
thee
,
and
inwrapping
thee
:
but
thou
(
delighting
like
that
chilly
Worme
to
liue
in
the
midst
of
the
fornace
,
or
as
the
foolish
Candle-flie
,
to
blow
the
fire
,
with
the
beating
of
thy
winges
neere
vnto
it
that
must
burne
thee
,
)
hast
spit
thy
poyson
at
me
when
I
sought
to
preserue
thee
.
More
agreeing
is
it
to
thy
nature
,
to
fry
in
the
flames
of
thy
fleshly
desires
,
(
which
is
but
a
short
blazd
straw-fire
,
to
tinde
or
inkindle
Hell-fire
,
)
then
to
liue
temperately
qualefied
,
midst
Insulae
fortunatae
the
fortunate
Ilands
of
Gods
fauour
.
For
this
shalt
thou
be
consumed
with
fire
.
Thy
house
shall
be
left
desolate
vnto
thee
.
Hetherto
with
Ieschaciabus
thou
hast
had
nought
but
a
plaister
of
drye-figges
layd
to
thy
byle
,
thou
hast
beene
chastised
but
with
wanton
whips
,
but
loe
,
shortly
(
the
time
comes
)
thou
must
be
scourged
with
Scorpions
:
a
hooke
shall
be
cast
into
thy
iawes
,
and
a
chaine
come
through
thy
nostrils
.
I
now
but
foretell
a
storme
in
a
calme
,
but
when
the
Leuiathan
shall
approach
,
(
that
with
his
neesings
chaseth
Cloudes
,
)
and
you
shall
see
lightening
and
thunder
in
the
mouthes
of
all
the
foure
Windes
:
When
Heauen
(
in
stead
of
starres
)
shall
bee
made
an
Artillery-house
of
Haile-stones
,
and
no
Plannet
reuolue
any
thing
but
prostitution
and
vastity
,
then
shall
you
know
what
it
is
,
by
saying
you
would
not
,
to
make
your
house
vnto
you
be
left
desolate
.
With
the
foolish
builder
you
haue
founded
your
Pallaces
on
the
sands
of
your
own
shallow
conceits
:
had
you
rested
them
on
the
true
Rock
they
had
been
ruine-proof
:
but
now
the
raine
will
rough-enter
through
the
crannies
of
their
wauering
,
the
Windes
will
blow
and
batter
ope
,
wide
passages
for
the
pashing
shoures
:
With
roring
,
and
buffetting
lullabies
,
instead
of
singing
and
dandling
by-os
they
will
rock
them
cleane
ouer
and
ouer
.
The
onely
commodity
they
shall
tithe
to
their
owners
,
will
be
(
by
their
ouer-turning
)
to
afford
them
Toombes
vnaskt
.
Great
shall
be
the
fall
of
thy
foolish
building
(
O
Ierusalem
)
like
a
Tower
ouer-topt
,
it
shall
fall
flatte
,
and
be
laid
low
and
desolate
.
In
the
Hauen
of
Ioppa
,
shall
ariue
as
many
shippes
,
as
would
make
a
Marine-cittie
,
in
bignesse
no
lesse
then
thy selfe
.
The
Helle-spont
by
Xerxes
,
was
neuer
so
surchargd
as
it
shall
bee
.
All
Galile
(
from
the
land
of
Nepthali
vpwards
)
shall
bee
but
a
quarter
for
their
Pioners
,
and
a
couch
for
their
baggage
.
From
Ierusalem
to
the
plaine
of
Gibeon
,
(
which
is
fifty
miles
distance
)
the
infinite
enemy
,
will
depopulate
and
pitch
his
Pauillions
.
Man
,
woman
,
child
,
he
shall
vnmortalize
and
mangle
.
Oxen
Sheepe
,
Cammels
,
idely
engore
,
and
leaue
to
putrifie
in
the
open
Fieldes
,
onely
to
raise
vp
seed
to
Snakes
,
Adders
and
Serpents
.
The
Mount
Tabor
,
(
whose
height
is
thirty
furlongs
,
and
on
whose
toppe
is
a
playne
,
twenty-three
furlongs
broade
)
shall
haue
all
the
starre-gazing
Townes
(
on
it
scituate
)
iustled
head-long
downe
from
the
heigth
of
his
fore-head
,
and
breaking
their
backes
with
their
stumbling
rebutment
,
tumble
in
the
ayre
,
like
Lucifer
falling
out
of
heauen
into
Hell
.
Yea
,
their
Firmament-propping
foundation
,
shall
be
adequated
with
the
Valley
of
Iehosaphat
:
whose
sublimity
(
whiles
it
is
in
beheading
,
)
the
Skye
shall
resigne
all
his
Clowdes
to
the
Earth
,
and
light-wing'd
dust
,
dignifie
it selfe
by
the
name
of
a
meteor
.
From
that
blind-dispersed
night
of
dust
,
shall
many
lesser
Mountaines
receiue
their
lofty
mounting
:
and
part
of
it
(
being
wind-wafted
into
the
Sea
)
insert
floating
Ilands
midst
the
Ocean
.
None
shall
there
bee
left
to
fight
the
battailes
of
the
Lord
,
but
those
that
fight
the
battailes
of
their
owne
ambition
.
By
none
shall
the
Sanctuary
be
defended
,
but
those
that
wold
haue
none
destitute
it
or
defloure
it
but
themselues
.
The
feast
of
Tabernacles
,
the
feast
of
sweet
Bread
,
and
the
feast
of
Weekes
,
shall
quite
bee
discalendred
.
Your
Sabaothes
and
New-moones
,
shall
want
a
Remembrancer
;
Your
Peace-offerings
and
continuall
Sacrifice
,
(
a
thousand
,
two
hundred
,
and
ninety
dayes
,
as
Daniel
prophecied
,
)
shall
be
put
to
silence
.
The
abhomination
of
desolation
,
shall
aduaunce
it selfe
in
your
The
particularity
of
your
generall
fore-spoken
woes
,
would
worke
in
me
a
Tympany
of
Teares
,
if
I
should
portrayture
it
.
I
haue
pronounst
it
,
and
your
House
(
vnrepriueable
)
vnto
you
shall
bee
left
desolate
.
The
resplendent
eye-out
brauing
buildings
of
your
Temple
,
(
like
a
Drum
)
shall
be
vngirt
&
vnbraced
:
the
soule
of
it
,
which
is
the
(
fore-named
)
Sanctum
Sanctorum
,
cleane
shall
bee
strypt
and
vnclothed
.
God
shall
haue
nere
a
Tabernacle
or
retyring
place
in
your
City
,
which
he
shall
not
be
vndermined
and
desolated
out
of
.
The
Sunne
and
Moone
(
perplexed
with
the
spectacle
)
shall
flie
farther
vpward
into
heauen
,
and
bee
afraid

least
(
when
the
besiegers
haue
ended
below
)
they
next
sacke
them
out
of
their
sieges
and
circuits
,
since
they
haue
had
God
(
their
common-Creator
)
so
long
in

Ierusalem
,
euer
after
thy
bloudy
hecatombe
,
or
buriall
,
the
Sun
(
rising
and
setting
)
shall
enrobe
himselfe
in
scarlet
,
and
the
mayden-Moone
,
(
in
the
ascension
of
her
perfection
)
shall
haue
her
crimson
cheeks
(
as
they
wold
burst
)
round
balled
out
with
bloud
.
Those
ruddy
inuesturings
,
and
scarlet
habilements
,
from
the
clowde-climing
slaughter-stack
of
thy
dead
carkases
,
shall
they
exhalingly
quintessence
,
to
the
end
thou
maist
not
onely
bee
culpable
of
gorging
the
Earth
,
but
of
goring
the
Heauens
with
bloud
:
and
in
witnes
against
thee
,
weare
them
they
shall
to
the
worlds
end
,
as
the
liueries
of
thy
wayning
.
Not
Abrahams
sonnes
are
you
,
but
the
sonnes
of
bloud
,
for
in
nothing
you
imitate
Abraham
,
but
that
he
(
hauing
no
more
saue
one
onely
sonne
)
would
haue
sacrific'd
him
:
so
GOD
hauing
no
more
but
one
onely
Sonne
,
you
lyein
waite
to
crucifie
and
sacrifice
him
.
For
thine
owne
destruction
(
disgraded
daughter
of
Syon
)
thou
lyest
in
waite
,
in
laying
waite
for
mee
:
that
which
I
hunger
and
thirst
after
,
is
thy
saluation
in
my
destruction
.
I
am
enamoured
of
my
Crosse
,
because
it
is
all
ages
blessing
:
not
a
nayle
in
it
but
is
a
necessary
Agent
in
the
Worlds
redemption
.
Holy
Crosse
,
Adams
of
spring
,
onely
holines
,
I
grieue
that
vpon
thee
I
can
spend
none
of
my
God-head
as
wel
as
my
Humanity
,
to
glorify
the
more
this
great
exploit
.
For
the
desolating
and
disinheriting
of
hell
haue
I
that
reserued
,
none
but
the
God
of
heauen
may
leade
captiuity
captiue
,
and
returne
Conquerour
from
that
dungeonly
Kingdome
.
Strange
it
is
(
ó
Ierusalem
)
that
I
should
be
able
to
conquer
and
forrage
hell
,
and
yet
cannot
conquer
,
or
bring
vnder
thee
to
my
obedience
.
To
speake
troth
,
(
as
in
my
lips
is
no
guile
)
thou
art
not
worthy
to
bee
conquéred
,
or
haue
the
host
of
thine
affections
subdued
by
me
,
that
hast
admitted
of
a
baser
conquerour
,
which
is
the
diuell
,
after
whom
I
can
succeede
with
no
honour
.
The
Romaines
(
not
I
)
shall
conquer
thee
,
and
leaue
thy
house
desolate
vnto
thee
:
who
being
Heathens
,
and
not
knowing
God
,
are
a
degree
of
indignity
inferiour
to
the
diuell
,
for
he
knowes
God
,
and
with
feare
and
trembling
acknowledgeth
him
.
Wouldst
thou
with
feare
and
trembling
haue
fled
to
mee
for
refuge
against
the
diuell
and
the
Romanes
,
when
I
would
haue
gathered
thee
,
both
the
Diuell
and
the
Romanes
(
at
one
instant
)
had
bene
subdued
to
thine
hand
.
But
vnder
my
standard
thou
wouldst
not
,
thou
scornedst
to
gather
thee
,
therefore
shall
thy
house
be
left
desolate
vnto
thee
:
therefore
shall
Gods
house
bee
left
desolate
vnto
thee
.
Maiesticall
Temple
,
on
whose
Pinacle
once
I
was
tempted
,
thou
and
I
(
one
after
another
)
must
perish
,
for
no
fault
of
our
owne
,
but
for
the
sinnes
of
this
people
.
No
profite
but
disprofite
,
shall
the
scattered
ashes
of
thy
obsequies
bring
vnto
them
,
nor
shall
they
,
like
the
ashes
of
me
the
true
Phoenix
,
liue
againe
:
neuer
shall
thy
body
(
like
mine
)
be
raised
againe
.
Raced
and
defaced
shalt
thou
be
,
as
thou
hadst
neuer
bene
.
Haply
Caues
for
wilde-beasts
(
many
yeares
together
)
thou
maist
affoord
,
but
the
Lord
of
Hostes
shall
abandon
thee
,
the
King
of
Israel
shall
abiure
thee
.
By
Herod
(
a
man
of
bloud
)
thou
wert
last
builded
,
and
in
bloud
shalt
thou
be
buried
.
O
let
mee
embrace
thee
while
thou
yet
standest
,
and
I
am
not
translated
:
hereafter
(
perhaps
)
nere
may
I
haue
the
opportunity
to
embrace
thee
.
This
present
houre
that
is
granted
,
I
will
put
out
to
Vsury
.
On
thy
Alablaster
out-side
,
with
scalding
sighes
and
dimming
kisses
,
a
greater
dew
will
I
raise
,
then
lies
vpon
sweaty
Marble
a
little
before
raine
.
Me
thinkes
these
stones
looke
shining
and
smyling
vpon
mee
,
Ierusalem
frownes
like
a
Shee-beare
seeking
her
whelpes
.
These
stones
start
not
out
of
their
assigned
places
,
but
still
retaine
their
imposed
first
proportion
:
from
me
(
her
foundation
)
long
agoe
hath
Ierusalem
started
,
out
of
those
limits
and
bounds
I
assigned
her
hath
she
started
,
her
order
she
hath
broken
;
my
building
she
hath
subuerted
;
no
forme
or
face
of
my
workemanship
is
visible
in
her
.
But
yet
,
were
nothing
but
her
face
and
out-side
deformed
,
it
were
some-what
,
her
in-side
is
worst
of
all
:
her
Heart
,
her
Lungs
,
her
Liuer
,
&
her
Gall
,
alare
carioniz'd
and
contaminated
with
surfeits
of
selfe-will
.
Her
owne
heart
she
eateth
,
and
disgesteth
into
the
draught
with
riot
and
excesse
.
Poore
Temple
,
long
mightst
thou
stand
,
and
not
haue
a
stone
of
thee
disquieted
till
the
Iudgement
day
,
if
those
to
whom
thou
belongest
,
were
not
ten-times
branded
in
the
fore-head
for
Reprobates
,
not
with
the
marke
of
the
Lambe
,
but
the
Lyon
,
who
(
roring
)
seeketh
whom
he
may
deuoure
.
Distressefully
am
I
diuided
from
thee
;
my
soule
(
when
it
shall
be
diuided
from
mee
)
will
not
endrench
mee
in
so
much
dolour
as
thou
doost
.
The
zeale
of
thee
distraughteth
me
,
and
some
essentiall
part
of
my
life
seemeth
to
forsake
me
and
droppe
from
mee
,
when
I
thinke
of
thy
diuastation
.
Nothing
so
much
doth
macerate
and
mad
mee
,
as
that
all
the
sky-perfuming
prayers
,
and
profuse
sacrificatory
expences
of
ful-hand
oblationers
,
should
not
haue
force
to
vphold
thee
.
Desolation
,
for
no
debt
of
sin
shalt
thou
extend
on
this
Temple
,
that
thou
hast
to
extend
against
it
,
extend
against
me
,
for
it
is
my
Fathers
habitation
.
It
will
but
augment
his
indignation
against
this
Citty
,
and
do
thee
no
good
to
driue
him
out
of
house
and
home
,
and
reserue
him
no
sanctified
mansion
vpon
earth
.
Let
there
bee
one
peculiar
Treasury
of
supplications
and
vowes
vndestroyed
and
vnpillaged
.
O
Father
,
bee
this
House
more
high-pryzed
to
thee
then
Paradice
;
More
worship
and
adoration
hast
thou
had
in
it
then
in
Paradice
.
There
thou
setst
a
fiery-armed
Gardant
to
repulse
insolent
inuaders
:
set
some
garisonment
before
the
gate
of
thy
Tabernacle
,
to
oppugne
the
dispossessors
of
thy
Diety
:
thou
canst
not
heare
me
,
I
pray
for
them
whose
sinnes
sue
against
me
.
Thou
hast
decreed
(
in
thy
secret
iudgement
)
There
house
shall
bee
left
desolate
vnto
them
:
Thou
hast
decreed
I
shall
be
left
desolate
on
the
Crosse
,
and
cry
,
Eloi
,
Eloi
,
lamasabachthani
,
vnayded
or
vnregarded
.
Willing
am
I
to
execute
thy
will
,
onely
let
me
not
in
vaine
giue
vp
the
Ghost
,
but
some
soules
of
this
Panther-spotted
Ierusalem
,
may
bee
extraught
to
ioy
with
me
.
O
that
mine
armes
were
wide
enough
to
engraspe
the
wals
of
Ierusalem
about
,
that
in
mine
amorous
enfoldment
,
(
vnawares
)
I
might
whyrle
her
to
Heauen
with
me
.
Why
should
I
not
driue
all
Israel
before
mee
to
the
great
felicity
,
as
a
Sheepeheard
before
him
driueth
his
flocke
to
the
fat
Pastures
?
I
shall
neuer
driue
you
before
me
,
you
will
driue
me
before
you
(
with
murder
and
violence
)
to
immortality
,
&
your selues
not
one
foote
follow
after
.
Pol
me
occidistis
amici
,
you
whom
I
thought
to
bind
to
me
as
friends
,
haue
foe-like
betraied
me
.
Because
I
am
humble
I
may
not
please
you
:
Because
I
am
Christ
the
iust
,
therfore
you
will
designe
me
to
the
Crosse
vniustly
.
Est

Wold
God
there
were
no
other
exclamatory
crime
then
this
to
bee
obiected
againe
thee
.
Yet
haue
I
suffred
of
thee
nothing
but
feare
.
More
then
feare
am
I
(
within
these
few
daies
)
to
entertaine
at
thy
hands
.
Slay
me
thou
shalt
,
because
I
haue
vouchsafed
to
liue
.
with
thee
;
and
doome
me
an
vnworthy
end
,
in
leiu
of
my
deere
loue
.
Tu
mihi
criminis
author
,
no
imputation
of
scandale
shall
I
haue
,
but
the
heauy
burthen
of
thy
abuses
.
Thou
shall
be
my
vninocence
,
and
whole
summe
of
delinquishment
:
thy
right
hand
of
my
death
shall
be
arraigned
.
Hoc
prohibete
nefas
,
scelerique

Not
the
prophane
idolatry
of
the
Gentles
,
in
my
sides
shall
delue
so
deepe
,
as
thy
stiffe-necked
transgressions
.
Lesse
do
I
deplore
my
death
then
thy
life
:
and
a
thousand
times
haue
I
wisht
and
desired
,
that
thou
hadst
onely
occasion
to
repent
my
death
and
not
thine
own
other
misdeeds
.
Repent
yet
,
&
I
will
repent
me
of
the
pronouncement
against
thee
.
Should
I
not
so
haue
pronounst
and
denunciated
against
thee
,
thy
bloud
would
haue
bene
Therefore
is
my
people
led
captiue
,
(
saith
the
Lord
by
Esay

because
they

to
mee
that
I
neuer
tasted
the
milke
of
vnderstanding
;
but
(
with
Iob
)
banne
the
time
that
euer
you
suckt
the
breasts
.
At
my
breasts
Ierusalem
hast
thou
not
suckt
,
but
bit
off
my
breasts
,
when
thou
stonedst
the
Prophets
:
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
that
stonest
my
Prophets
,
and
killest
them
I
sent
vnto
thee
:
How
often
would
I
haue
gathered
thy
children
together
,
as
a
Henne
gathereth
her
Chickins
vnder
her
wings
,
but
thou
wouldst
not
?
Therefore
shall
thy
House
bee
left
desolate
vnto
thee
.
Heere
ebbe
the
spring-tide
of
my
Teares
,
Eyes
from
this
present
prepare
your selues
to
bee
recluses
.
I
came
not
to
shed
Teares
but
Bloud
for
Ierusalem
,
Bloud
for
Ierusalem
will
I
shed
,
to
attone
for
her
shedding
of
innocent
bloud
;
So
that
let
her
yet
turne
vnto
mee
,
her
attonement
is
made
.
I
will
corroborate
my
Crosse
Giant-like
,
to
vnder-beare
the
Atlas
burthen
of
her
insolences
.
With
my
Nazarite
tresses
,
to
my
Crosse
will
I
bind
her
crossing
frowardnesse
and
contaminations
.
Not
a
nayle
that
takes
hold
of
me
,
but
I
will
(
expresly
)
enioyne
it
to
take
hold
of
her
deflectings
and
errours
.
Death
,
(
as
euer
thou
hopest
at
my
hands
to
haue
thy
Commission
enlarged
,
)
when
thou
killest
mee
,
kill
her
iniquities
also
:
let
thy
deepe
entring
Dart
obliuionize
their
memories
.
Of
man
(
as
of
me
)
thou
killest
but
the
body
onely
,
kill
the
body
and
the
soule
both
of
her
vnbounded
sinnegluttony
.
I
will
pay
thee
largely
for
thy
paines
.
Whereas
before
,
thou
neuer
tookst
any
but
the
subiects
prisoners
,
now
thou
shalt
haue
the
King
himselfe
surrendred
to
thy
cruelty
.
Thou
shalt
enrich
thy
stile
with
this
title
,
I
Emperour
Death
,
the
Lord
of
all
flesh
,
the
killer
of
the
King
of
all
Kings
,
&c.
Deale
well
by
Ierusalem
,
how
euer
thou
dealst
with
me
:
Let
not
her
Soule
be
left
desolate
,
though
her
Citty
bee
left
desolate
vnto
her
.
Euen
the
High-priestes
that
shall
binde
mine
hands
,
and
adiudge
my
body
to
be
scourged
,
deale
mercifully
with
,
cut
them
not
off
suddenly
,
but
giue
them
a
space
of
repentance
.
Let
them
bee
crowned
with
eternity
,
though
they
crowne
me
with
Thornes
,
their
crowning
mee
with
thornes
I
take
for
no
trespasse
,
for
they
cannot
pricke
me
so
ill
with
those
bryars
,
as
they
haue
prouokt
mee
with
their
sinnes
.
Nor
shall
the
Gall
and
Vinegar
they
giue
me
to
drinke
,
bee
so
bitter
vnto
mee
as
their
blasphemies
.
Forgiue
them
Lord
,
they
forget
what
they
doe
.
Further
I
may
not
proceede
,
except
I
should
detract
from
my
Passion
to
adde
to
my
Teares
.
Hee
that
can
weepe
with
more
soule-martyrdome
then
I
,
let
him
take
vpon
him
to
wash
(
in
my
steed
)
the
earths
Ethiopian
face
.
Euery
vaine
of
me
let
it
burst
,
to
feede
the
Lake
of
Gehenna
,
before
Gehenna
gather
springs
from
the
heart
of
Ierusalem
.
Not
the
least
hayre
of
my
body
,
but
may
it
be
as
a
pegge
in
a
vessell
,
to
broch
bloud
with
plucking
out
,
so
in
the
droppings
of
that
bloud
Ierusalem
will
bathe
her selfe
.
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
that
stonest
my
Prophets
,
and
killest
them
I
sent
vnto
thee
,
ten
thousand
times
adiew
:
I
would
neuer
haue
bid
thee
adiew
,
or
beene
diuorced
from
thee
,
but
that
thou
thy selfe
hast
diuorced
thy selfe
.
Heauen
no
heauen
hast
thou
made
vnto
me
,
by
endlesse
performing
thy
obits
.
If
my
crimson
Teares
on
the
Crosse
,
may
more
preuaile
with
thee
,
so
it
is
,
or
else
in
vaine
I
discended
,
or
else
to
thy
paine
I
discended
.
Discende
into
the
closet
of
thine
owne
conscience
,
and
enquire
how
oft
I
haue
come
thither
,
and
cald
vpon
thee
to
gather
thee
.
Examine
thy
heart
&
thy
reynes
if
I
haue
not
secretly
communed
with
thee
by
night
,
to
conuert
and
be
turned
vnto
me
.
Thou
neuer
with
drewst
thy selfe
and
wert
solitary
,
but
my
Spirit
was
reprouing
and
disputing
with
thee
.
At
length
shall
I
obtaine
of
thee
to
remember
and
gather
thy selfe
?
Though
thou
wilt
not
in
respect
of
me
,
(
whom
thou
shouldst
respect
)
yet
in
respect
of
thine
owne
benefite
,
remember
and
gather
thy selfe
,
enter
into
meditation
of
thy
lamentable
estate
:
But
heare
thy
Physition
though
thou
intendest
not
to
be
ruled
by
him
.
Vnderstand
the
nature
of
thy
disease
,
which
is
the
first
steppe
to
recouery
.
Relieue
my
languor
,
by
being
lesse
retchles
of
thy
inuisible
aspiring
infirmity
.
Glance
but
halfe
a
kind
looke
at
me
,
though
thou
canst
not
resolue
to
loue
me
;
by
halfe
a
looke
my
loue
may
steale
into
thine
eies
vnlookt
for
.
Thy
sight
is
no
way
mispent
or
impayred
,
by
casting
away
one
askance-regard
on
any
.
The
Sunne
shineth
as
well
on
the
good
as
the
bad
:
God
from
on
high
,
beholdeth
all
the
workers
of
iniquity
,
aswell
as
the
vpright
of
heart
.
It
behoueth
thee
to
try
all
spirits
,
let
my
Spirit
be
one
of
those
(
all
)
which
thou
bringest
to
the
Touch-stone
.
I
do
not
will
thee
without
tryall
,
on
my
bare
report
to
be
directed
by
it
,
but
when
thou
hast
tride
it
,
&
sifted
it
to
the
vttermost
,
then
as
it
approues
it selfe
,
to
entertaine
it
.
Vpon
vn-certaine
experiments
,
(
hauing
the
least
protence
of
gaine
in
them
,
)
men
will
hazard
and
venture
many
thousands
:
try
once
an
experiment
to
gaine
heauen
with
;
venture
or
hazard
but
a
few
indifferent
good
thoughts
of
mee
.
I
say
I
am
thy
Messias
,
and
am
come
to
gather
thee
,
condemne
me
not
rashly
,
but
awaite
&
see
the
end
of
my
gathering
whereto
it
sorts
.
Search
the
Scriptures
&
the
Prophets
,
whether
I
be
a
lyer
and
impostor
or
no.
I
would
giue
thee
leaue
to
hate
me
,
so
thy
hate
would
make
thee
industrious
&
sedulous
,
to
hearken
out
&
enquire
whence
I
am
.
Were
I
notorious
guilty
,
and
vn-examined
,
&
vnheard
,
you
should
sentence
me
,
you
should
giue
to
me
amongst
men
an
opinion
of
innocence
:
being
not
guilty
,
you
make
your
iudgements
guilty
,
of
knowing
I
am
not
guilty
,
in
proceeding
against
mee
without
circumstance
or
proofe
.
I
speake
all
this
while
to
the
wind
,
or
as
a
disconsolate
prisoner
that
complaineth
himselfe
to
the
stone-wals
.
God
is
mooued
and
mollified
(
though
hee
be
neuer
so
incensed
)
with
often
,
and
vn-slacked
intercessions
;
Gold
(
which
is
the
Soueraigne
of
mettals
)
bends
soonest
,
onely
Iron
(
the
peasant
of
all
)
is
most
inflexible
.
Ierusalem
with
nothing
is
mooued
,
therefore
must
her
Tabernacle
be
remooued
,
therefore
must
her
House
bee
left
desolate
vnto
her
.
Often
,
importunatly
,
violently
,
eagerly
haue
I
intercessioned
vnto
her
,
to
gather
herselfe
vnto
mee
:
I
haue
kneel'd
,
wept
bitterly
,
lift
vp
mine
hands
,
hung
vpon
her
,
and
vowed
neuer
to
let
her
go
,
till
shee
consented
to
retire
herselfe
into
my
tuition
,
&
answer'd
pleasingly
to
my
petition
.
Neuer
did
the
Widdow
in
my
Parrable
,
so
follow
and
tyre
the
wicked
Iudge
with
fury-haunting
instancy
,
as
I
haue
done
her
.
No
where
could
she
rest
but
I
haue
alarumd
in
her
eares
,
her
pride
,
murder
and
hypocrisie
,
and
with
dismall
crying
,
and
vociferatiue
inculcating
vnto
her
,
drawne
my
throat
so
hic
into
the
roofe
of
my
mouth
,
that
it
hath
quite
swallow'd
vp
and
ensheath'd
my
tongue
,
and
threatend
to
turne
my
mouth
out
of
his
office
.
I
haue
crackt
mine
eye-strings
with
excessiue
staring
,
and
stedfast
heauen-gazing
,
when
with
fast-fortified
prayer
,
and
eare-agonizing
inuocation
,
I
haue
distressed
my
Fathers
soule
for
her
;
so
that
(
enrag'd
)
hee
hath
bid
me
out
of
his
sight
,
chid
me
,
rebukt
me
,
&
impatiently
said
as
he
said
vnto
Moyses
,
Let
mee
alone
,
that
I
may
wreake
mine
anger
on
her
,
and
consume
her
.
None
of
these
may
ouer-come
her
,
the
bloud
of
my
Prophets
,
and
the
hundred-voyc't
clamour
of
her
multiplied
mutinies
against
Heauen
,
are
far
louder
before
my
Father
then
I
,
they
out-throate
mee
,
and
put
mee
downe
I
cannot
be
heard
,
euen
as
one
that
howles
puts
downe
him
that
sings
.
Mee
would
not
Ierusalem
heare
,
when
with
sweet
songs
I
haue
allur'd
,
cluckt
,
&
wooed
her
to
come
vnder
my
wings
:
therefore
will
not
my
Father
heare
any
man
that
once
names
her
.
When
I
pray
for
her
,
her
sinnes
fall
a
howling
that
I
should
not
be
heard
.
My
wings
,
her
gray-headed
sturdy
disobedience
hath
now
cleane
vnpinioned
and
broken
,
so
that
(
though
I
would
)
I
cannot
gather
her
.
Besides
,
she
hath
steeled
my
soft
impressiue
heart
,
and
mirmidoniz'd
mine
eies
,
that
they
shall
neuer
giue
griefe
a
Teare
more
almes
.
Poore
Hennes
,
there
is
nothing
so
tender
as
you
are
ouer
your
Chickins
,
but
had
you
as
I
haue
,
none
but
Kites
and
Kistrels
to
your
Chickens
,
such
as
flie
against
the
winde
as
soone
as
they
are
borne
,
and
gather
themselues
in
Armes
against
you
when
you
offer
to
gather
them
,
you
would
learne
of
me
,
to
leaue
off
to
be
so
tender
.
To
desolation
(
Ierusalem
)
must
I
leaue
thee
,
desolation
that
taketh
his
watch-word
from
thou
wouldst
not
:
Desolation
the
greatest
name
of
vengeance
that
is
,
Desolation
which
hath
as
many
branches
of
misery
as
Hell
belonging
to
it
,
Desolation
the
vtmost
arrow
of
Gods
indignation
.
I
cannot
in
tearmes
expresse
the
one
quarter
this
word
Desolation
containeth
.
Dauid
in
the
depth
of
his
despaire
of
Gods
mercy
,
said
;
Hee
was
left
as
Desolate
as
the
Pellican
in
the
wildernesse
,
or
the
Owle
on
the
house
top
.
This
is
the
Desolation
of
the
Pellican
in
the
Wildernesse
,
that
when
she
hath
her
bowels
vnnaturally
torne
out
by
her
yong
ones
,
(
into
the
world
tirannously
entring
,
)
and
they
leaue
her
in
the
extremity
of
her
torment
,
and
will
not
deigne
her
(
for
all
her
deere
trauell
)
one
comforting
aspect
of
compassion
,
to
herselfe
(
twixt
liuing
and
dying
,
)
herselfe
she
complaineth
.
Bloud
and
teares
equally
she
spendeth
,
and
as
her
womb
is
rent
out
with
vngratefull
fruitfulnesse
,
so
now
her
heart
she
rents
out
with
selfe-gnawing
discontentment
,
and
dyeth
,
not
decayed
by
age
,
but
destroyed
by
her
of
spring
.
The
mellancholy
Owle
,
(
Deaths
ordinary
messenger
,
)
that
nere
weildeth
his
lazy
leaden
wings
but
by
night
,
and
in
his
huge
lumpish
head
seemeth
to
haue
the
house
of
sleepe
built
,
then
is
most
solitary
and
desolate
,
when
(
restrained
from
tuning
his
owne
priuate
disconsolations
to
the
darke
gloomy
aire
,
)
he
is
sent
to
sing
on
a
desolate
house
top
,
a
dolefull
dreary
ditty
of
destiny
,
Alijs
que
dolens
sit
causa
dolendi
.
Ierusalem
,
euen
as
the
Pellican
in
the
Wildernesse
,
so
(
by
thine
owne
progeny
)
shalt
thou
haue
thy
bowels
torne
out
;
by
ciuill
warres
shalt
thou
be
more
wasted
then
out-ward
annoyance
.
Those
whom
thou
most
expectest
loue
of
,
shall
be
most
vnnatural
to
thee
.
Not
onely
teares
shal
they
constraine
thee
to
weepe
,
but
bloud
,
&
vrge
thee
to
rent
out
thine
owne
heart
,
in
ruing
their
irreligiousnesse
.
As
the
Owle
on
the
house-top
,
euer-more
howlingly
,
cals
for
some
Corse
,
and
is
the
first
Mourner
that
comes
to
any
funerall
,
so
(
Ierusalem
)
shalt
thou
howling
,
sit
like
the
Owle
on
thy
high-places
and
house-tops
,
&
tune
nothing
but
laies
of
ill-lucke
and
desolation
,
&
funerall
Elegies
of
thy
for-lorne
ouer-throw
.
Thus
shalt
thou
sing
;
Sodom
is
sunke
and
I
must
succeed
.
God
promised
hee
would
neuer-more
drowne
the
world
in
water
,
but
me
he
hath
drowned
in
bloud
.
All
the
Eagles
of
the
field
,
feed
their
yong
ones
with
my
yong-mens
carkasses
.
Mine
old
Sages
and
Gouernours
strow
the
streetes
with
their
white
haires
like
strawes
,
their
withered
dead
bodies
,
serue
to
mend
High-waies
with
,
and
turne
standing
quagmires
to

ground
,
(
ram'd
full
of
their
Corses

)
My
Virgins
,
and
Matrons
,
in
steed
of
painting
their
faces
ruddy
,
colour
them
with
their
kins-folkes
gore
.
Happy
is
that
wife
,
which
may
entombe
her
slaughtered
Husband
in
her
Well
or
Cesterne
.
Happy
is
that
Sister

that
(
for
strewing
hearbs
)
may
scatter
her
discheueld
Mayden-haire
,
on
her
dead

truncke
.
Euen
,
as
there
be
many
Foules
that
eate
vp
their
owne
Egges
,
so
the
Children
are
faine
to
feede
the
Mother
;
The
Infant
which
shee
trauels
with
nine
months
in
her
belly
,
once
againe
hunger
thrusteth
into
her
empty
famisht
body
.
The
Babes
in
conception
,
(
being
halfe
entred
out
of
the
wombe
,
and
but
with
one
eye
beholding
the
miseries
of
their
Country
,
)
return
crying
back
againe
whence
they
came
,
and
chuse
rather
to
tumble
forth
stil-borne
,
then
view
the
World
in
such
hurly-burly
.
So
exceeding
are
mine
aduersities
,
that
after
successions
which
shall
heare
of
them
,
will
euen
be
desolate
and
exiled
from

Christ
the

of
God
,
(
all

Sauiour
but
mine
,
)
fore-prophesied
I
should
thus
be
left
desolate
,
but
I
beleeued
it
not
,
therefore
is
my
desolation
vnlookt
for
come
vpon

,
therefore
am
I
made
a

to

of
confusion

O
Ierusalem

Ierusalem
,
all
this
might'st
thou
haue
auoided
,
I
neuer
sought
the
death
of
a
sinner
,
my
death
thou
hast
sought
,
for
I
laboured
to
saue
thee
.
Saue
thy selfe
as
well
as
thou
maist
,
for
I
haue
forsaken
thee
,
to
desolation
haue
I
resigned
thee
.
If
in
this
world
thou
endurest
thy
punishment
patiently
,
(
and
canst
purge
thy
soule
by
repentance
,
)
in
my
world
of
Ioy
I
shall
be
ready
to
receiue
thee
;
otherwise
,
I
haue
nou●…ht
to
do
with
thee
,
thy
Soule
as
thy
House
bee
left
desolate
vnto
thee
.
HEERE
doe
I
confine
our
SAVIOVRS
collachrimate
Oration
,
and
putting
off
his
borrowed
Person
,
restore
him
to
the
Triumphancy
of
his
Passion
.
Now
priuately
(
as
mortall
men
)
let
vs
consider
,
how
his
threates
were
after
verified
in
Ierusalems
ouer-ture
.
Should
I
write
it
to
the
proofe
,
weeping
would
leaue
meno
eyes
:
like
tragicke
Seneca
,
I
should
tragedize
my selfe
,
by
bleeding
to
death
in
the
depth
of
passion
.
Admirable
Italian
teare-eternizers
,
Ariosto
,
Tasso
&
the
rest
,
nere
had
you
such
a
subiect
to
roialize
your
Muses
with
,
Of
a
late
destruction
of
Ierusalem
,
Tasso
thou
wrot'st
,
wherein
thy
Godfry
of
Bulloine
the
destroyer
,
beareth
the
chiefe
part
of
honour
.
A
counterfeite
Melpomene
(
in
comparison
of
this
)
was
thy
Muses
Mid-wife
,
when
that
child
of
Fame
was
brought
forth
.
Let
no
man
thinke
to
enter
into
this
History
as
he
should
,
but
a
consumption
of
sorrow
will
cut
him
off
ere
he
come
to
the
end
.
God
forbid
I
should
be
so
Luciferous
passionatiue-ambitious
,
to
take
vpon
mee
the
full
blast
of
this
desolatiue-trumpet
of
Ierusalem
,
a
weake
breath
or
two
I
will
writhe
into
it
,
and
with
a
hoarse
sound
,
(
such
as
fitteth
farre-spent
languorment
)
manifest
as
it
were
in
a
dead-march
,
her
vntimely
interment
.
Forty
yeares
were
expired
after
our
Lords
lifting
vp
into
Heauen
,
when
the
Temple-boasting
Iewes
,
(
elate
in
their
owne
strength
)
began
to
pretend
a
wearines
of
the
Romane
regiment
,
and
coueted
to
raigne
entire
Lords
,
ouer
the
Lords
that
raign'd
ouer
them
.
Eleazer
,
the
Sonne
of
Anani
the
High-priest
,
was
the
first
that
seminariz'd
this
hope
of
signiorizing
and
freedome
amongst
them
.
Proudly
he
controlled
Agrippa
&
all
the
other
Lieftenants
,
droue
them
from
their
dignities
to
Rome
to
seeke
succour
and
rescue
,
and
swayed
ouer
the
multitude
,
as
the
King
and
Father
of
their
liues
.
In
the
meane-while
,
the
Element
was
ouer-hung
with
prodigies
.
GOD
thought
it
not
enough
to
haue
threatned
them
by
his
Son
,
but
he
emblazond
the
aire
with
the
tokens
of
his
terror
.
No
Starre
that
appeared
but
seemd
to
sparkle
fire
.
The
Sun
did
shine
all
day
,
as
it
is
wont
at
his
Euening
going
downe
.
The
Moone
had
her
pale-siluer
face
iron
spotted
with
freckle-imitating
bloud-sprinklings
:
and
for
her
dim
frosty
circle
,
a
blacke
inky-hood
embayling
her
bright-head
.
Ouer
the
Temple
(
at
the
solemne
feast
of
the
Passeouer
)
was
seene
a
Commet
most
coruscant
,
streamed
&
tayled
forth
,
with
glistering
naked
swords
,
which
in
his
mouth
,
(
as
a
man
in
his
hand
all
at
once
,
)
he
made
semblance
as
if
hee
shaked
and
vambrasht
.
Seauen
daies
it
continued
,
all
which
time
,
the
Temple
was
as
cleare
&
light
in
the
night
as
it
had
beene
noone-day
.
In
the
Sanctum
sanctorum
,
was
heard
clashing
and
hewing
of
Armour
.
Whole
flockes
of
Rauens
,
(
with
a
fearefull
croking
cry
,
)
beate
,
fluttred
,
and
clasht
against
the
windowes
.
A
hideous
dismall
Owle
,
(
exceeding
all
her
kind
in
deformity
and
quantity
,
)
in
the
Temple-porch
built
her
nest
.
From
vnder
the
Altar
,
there
issued
penetrating
plangorus-howlings
,
and
gastly
dead-mens
grones
.
A
goodly
young
Heyfer
,
hal'd
thither
for
a
burnt
offering
,
being
knockt
downe
and
ready
to
be
drest
,
miraculously
calued
a
Lambe
.
The
sacrificing
kniues
that
diu'd
into
her
entrailes
,
wold
afterwards
by
no
meanes
be
cleansed
,
but
from
her
bloud
(
as
from
mans
bloud
)
tooke
vnto
them
an
vnremoueable
rust
.
In
the
feast
of
Weekes
,
in
the
inner
receite
of
the
Temple
was
heard
one
stately
stalking
vp
and
downe
,
and
exclaiming
with
a
terrible
base
hollow
voice
,
Migremus
hinc
,
Migremus

è

:
Let
vs
go
hence
,
Let
vs
go

out

Temple
let

What
should
I
ouer-blacke
mine
Inke
,
perplex
pale
Paper
,
rumatize
my
Readers
eyes
,
with
the
sad
tedious
recitall
,
of
all
the
prognosticating
signes
of
their
ruine
.
Stories
haue
lost
and
tyred
themselues
in
this
Story
.
Should
I
but
make
an
Index
to
any
one
Writer
of
them
,
it
would
aske
a
Booke
alone
.
Some
few
abreuiated
alleagements
I
will
content
my selfe
with
,
and
so
passe
on-ward
to
more
necessary
matter
.
Aboue
,
and
besides
,
the
Propheticall
apparitions
,
in
,
ouer
,
&
about
the
Temple
,
in
the
Citty
there
happened
no
lesse
note-worthy
praedictions
.
The
East
gate
thereof
which
was
all
yron
,
and
neuer
wont
to
be
opened
vnder
twenty
men
together
,
(
the
dry
rusty
creeking
of
whose
hookes
and
gymmes
as
it
was
in
the
opening
,
might
be
heard
a
mile
off
,
)
now
,
of
the
owne
accord
,
burst
wide
ope
,
and
being
ope
,
was
twise
more
hard
then
before
to
be
shut
.
A
base
mechanicall
fellow
there
was
,
sprung
out
of
the
mud
of
the
Communalty
,
who
for
foure
yeares
together
before
the
warres
begunne
,
went
crying
vp
and
downe
,
Woe
to
Ierusalem
and
the
Sanctuary
thereof
,
Woe
to
euery
liuing
thing
that
breatheth
therein
,
The
wars
once
entred
,
he
got
him
on
the
wals
,
and
often
re-iterating
his
stale-worne
note
,
adde
thereunto
,
Woe
,
and
thrice
woe
to
my selfe
,
and
with
that
,
start
a
stone
out
of
an
Engine
in
the
Campe
and
stopt
his
throate
.
Many
monstrous
birthes
at
this
instant
were
brought
foorth
:
in
diuers
places
of
the
Citty
sprung
vp
founts
of
bloud
.
The
Element
euery
night
was
embattailed
with
Armed
men
,
skirmishing
and
conflicting
amongst
themselues
;
&
the
Emperiall
Eagles
of
Rome
,
were
plainly
there
displayed
to
all
mens
sight
.
A
burning
sword
also
was
set
forth
,
visibly
bent
against
the
Citty
.
The
strangest
and
horriblest
tempests
of
thunder
and
lightning
had
they
that
euer
was
heard
of
.
The
Earth
left
to
be
so
friutfull
as
it
wont
.
No
season
but
it
exceeded
his
stinted
temperature
.
Euery
thing
rebelled
against
kind
,
as
thinking
scorne
to
accommodate
themselues
to
their
vses
,
that
had
so
rebelled
against
the
Lord
.
For
all
this
,
there
was
no
man
that
would
gather
himselfe
,
no
man
that
would
depart
from
the
ill
worke
he
had
in
hand
.
Ambulabant
vt
caeci
quia
Domino
peccauerunt
.
Their
eies
were
ouer-filmed
or
blinded
,
because
they
obeyed
not
their
Maker
.
NOw
is
the
time
that
all
Riuers
must
runne
into
the
Sea
,
that
whatsoeuer
I
haue
in
wit
or
eloquence
,
must
be
drayned
to
the
delineament
of
wretchednesse
.
The
Romanes
like
a
droue
of
Wild
bores
,
roote
vp
and
forrage
fruitfull
Palestine
.
That
which
was
called
the
Holy
Land
,
is
now
vnhallowed
with
their
Heathen
swords
.
Wherefore
you
Pilgrims
,
that
spend
the
one
halfe
of
your
daies
in
visiting
the
Land
of
Promise
,
and
weare
the
plants
of
your
feete
,
to
the
likenesse
of
withered
rootes
,
by
bare-legd
processioning
(
from
a
farre
)
to
the
Sepulchre
,
vngainefully
you
consume
good
houres
,
for
no
longer
was
Iudea
a
Land
of
Promise
,
then
her
Temple
stood
.
Vespasians
inuasion
hath
prophaned
it
:
a
Mount
of
dead
bodies
ouer
that
Sepulchre
is
raised
,
which
you
perigrinate
to
adore
;
that
Sepulchre
you
see
,
is
but
a
thing
built
vp
by
Saracens
to
get
mony
with
,
and
beguile
votiue
Christians
.
They
delude
your
superstition
,
and
make
it
their
tributary
slaue
.
No
Hog-sty
is
now
so
pollutionate
as
the
earth
of
Palestine
and
Ierusalem
.
Our
Sauiours
steps
are
quite
vnsanctified
in
them
,
and
trodden
out
of
sent
,
by
the
irruptiue
ouer-trampling
of
the
Romanes
.
A
new
story
of
flesh-manured
earth
haue
they
cast
vpon
it
,
and
made
it
no
more
the
walke
of
Saints
and
Prophets
,
but
a
poysonous
nurcery
of
Beasts
of
pray
and
Serpents
.
O
God
,
enlarge
mine
inuention
and
my
memory
,
sincerely
and
feelingly
,
to
rehearse
the
disornamenting
of
this
mother
of
Citties
.
Vnderstand
that
before
the
arriuall
of
Vespasian
,
there
were
in
Ierusalem
three
factions
.
Eleazers
,
which
was
the
fundamentiue
and
first
,
Iehochanans
next
,
and
Schimeons
the
last
.
Eleazer
and
Iehochanan
,
the
vngodliest
that
euer
God
made
,
Schimeon
except
,
(
and
hee
might
well
haue
beene
Schoole-maister
to
Cain
or
Iudas
,
)
hee
was
such
a
grand
Keysar
of
cut-throtes
.
From
the
noblest
of
the
Iewes
discended
,
but
his
Nobility
ere
he
came
to
it
,
by
his
degenerate
conditions
he
forfeited
.
A
man
hee
was
that
made
a
mockery
of
all
Lawes
and
Religion
,
and
any
thing
which
Authority
forbad
,
most
greedily
would
embrace
:
thinking
,
as
the
best
Pastures
are
hedged
in
,
the
best
Orchards
wald
about
,
the
best
Mettals
hutcht
vp
,
so
there
was
nothing
excellent
but
was
forbidden
,
and
whatsoeuer
was
forbidden
,
was
excellent
.
For
malice
or
hatred
,
he
would
not
stab
or
murder
men
so
much
,
as
against
he
had
iust
occasion
to
stab
or
murder
,
to
keepe
his
hand
in
vre
.
Hee
held
it
as
lawfull
for
him
,
(
since
all
labouring
in
a
mans
vocation
is
but
getting
,
)
to
get
wealth
as
well
with
his
sword
by
the
High
way
side
,
as
the
Laborer
with
his
Spade
or
Mattocke
,
when
all
are
but
yron
;
besides
,
as
there
is
none
hath
any
wealth
which
he
getteth
not
from
another
,
so
deem'd
he
it
as
free
for
him
as
another
,
to
get
from
other
men
;
concluding
,
as
there
no
better
tittle
to
a
Kingdome
then
conquest
,
so
there
is
no
better
claime
vnto
wealth
,
then
by
the
conquest
of
a
strong
hand
to
compasse
it
.
Adultery
,
Fornication
,
Drunkennesse
,
no
sin
,
but
he
would
defend
and
offend
in
.
For
the
multitude
of
these
and
other
his
abhominations
,
banisht
he
was
,
and
longer
in
Ierusalem
might
he
not
roust
:
wherefore
no
possibility
had
hee
to
preuent
beggery
,
or
redeeme
his
estate
,
but
by
proclaiming
(
in
all
places
where
he
came
)
the
trade
he
profest
:
The
Tenure
of
his
Proclamation
was
this
.
That
if
there
were
any
,
that
had
dudgen-old
coughing
miserly
Fathers
they
could
not
endure
:
If
there
were
any
that
had
repining
victual-scanting
Maisters
,
tyrrannizing
neuer-the-lesse
for
their
work
:
If
there
were
any
,
that
were
Creditor-craz'd
,
and
dead
and
buried
in
debt
,
and
knew
not
which
way
to
rise
out
of
it
,
let
them
repaire
to
him
,
and
till
Doomes-day
they
should
haue
a
protection
.
Yea
,
if
there
were
euer
a
good
fellow
that
lou'd
a
Harlot
as
his
life
,
would
haue
Letters-patents
to
take
purses
,
had
a
desire
to
kill
and
not
be
hang'd
,
would
sweare
and
forsweare
for
single-money
,
and
had
not
so
much
as
a
crum
of
conscience
to
put
in
his
pottage
,
let
him
or
them
what
ere
,
resort
vnder
his
standard
,
and
their
humors
should
be
maintained
.
Twenty
thousand
of
these
dreggy
lees
of
Libertines
hiu'd
vnto
him
in
a
moment
,
whom
he
cleped
the
Flower
of
Chiluary
:
for
they
feared
no
man
,
&
cared
neither
for
God
nor
the
Diuell
.
With
them
he
burnt
the
greene
Corne
in
the
fields
,
pluckt
downe
Barnes
and
Store-houses
,
stubd
vp
Orchards
and
Vine-yards
,
and
made
desolate
hauocke
where
euer
he
came
.
To
Ierusalem
(
after
much
slaughter
and
spoyle
)
with
this
his
Out-law
Army
he
reacht
,
&
there
enter-leagued
himselfe
with
Eleazar
and
Iehochanan
.
The
first
thing
after
their
ioyning
they
did
,
was
the
displacing
of
the
Sanhadrtn
,
which
were
the
Iudges
,
and
three-score
and
tenne
Elders
,
and
sharing
the
gouernèment
equally
amongst
them
.
Then
the
Sacrifice
they
silenced
,
put
the
High-priest
to
death
,
and
conuerted
the
Temple
to
an
Armory
.
Long
could
they
not
agree
,
but
as
Empery
admitteth
no
mate-ship
,
so
did
they
enuy
one
another
,
made
heads
against
one
another
,
mutually
skirmisht
with
one
another
.
Their
enemies
were
without
,
but
within
lurkt
the
plague
that
went
through
stitch
.
Twenty
thousand
in
one
day
,
the
internal
ciuil
sword
eate
vp
.
The
Edomites
let
in
by
Iehochanan
,
of
the
welthiest
Cittizens
,
slew
eight
thousand
and
fiue
hundred
in
one
night
.
Heere
begins
the
desolation
Christ
prophecied
,
within
and
without
vengeance
bestirreth
her
;
within
it
raged
most
,
for
within
sinne
raigned
most
.
Let
mee
suddainely
waxe
old
and
woe-wrinkle
my
cheekes
before
their
time
,
by
describing
the
deplored
effectes
of
their
sinnes
within
.
First
,
for
the
desolation
of
their
ceremoniall
Religion
,
some-thing
I
haue
said
already
,
but
the
summe
of
all
was
this
,
that
if
any
Priest
approcht
neere
the
Altar
,
the
bloud
of
him
and
his
offering
was
blended
together
.
The
reuerent
Ephods
were
made
the
slaughter-mens
Aprons
:
many
venerable
Leuites
they
bound
to
the
Altar
by
the
haire
of
their
beardes
.
The
Vessels
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
they
put
to
vile
vses
.
Not
any
consectated
thing
but
they
arrested
and
made
booty
of
.
Yong
children
,
whom
their
mothers
led
in
their
hands
along
with
them
,
to
the
Temple
to
offer
,
(
inhumaine
to
be
told
,
)
they
tooke
and
mercilesse
cast
into
the
sacrificatory
flame
,
and
on
the
same
Altar
(
after
they
were
consumed
)
most
sacriligiously
rauisht
their
Mothers
.
Some
men
(
whom
they
could
not
otherwise
draw
into
their
danger
)
they
would
inuite
to
treaty
in
the
Temple
,
saying
;
There
is
the
Tabernacle
of
the
Lord
,
there
is
the
Arke
of
his
presence
,
there
if
we
shold
draw
our
blades
,
it
were
abhomination
vn-remissible
.
Why
distrust
you
vs
?
suppose
you
vs
to
be
without
GOD
?
carry
wee
not
the
couenant
of
our
Father
Abraham
in
our
loines
as
well
as
you
?
By
him
that
oweth
this
Temple
wee
sweare
,
and
all
mysticall
riches
thereof
,
you
shall
depart
thence
vnmolested
.
Who
so
on
their
oaths
,
or
their
words
affianst
them
,
were
sure
to
wash
the
pauement
with
the
best
iuice
of
their
breasts
.
Not
onely
those
that
came
to
offer
,
but
those
that
but
offred
to
kneele
in
the
Temple
,
they
ran
through
.
The
Marble
flore
of
it
they
made
so
slippery
,
with
their
vnrespited
,
and
not
so
much
as
Saboth-ceased
bloud-shed
,
and
bowel-clinging
fat
of
them
that
were
slaine
,
that
a
man
might
better
swimme
then
walke
on
it
.
The
place
without
the
Citty
where
they
carried
their
dung
,
and
buried
the
entrailes
of
Beasts
,
halfe
so
pestilently
stunck
not
,
as
that
stuncke
with
dung-hils
of
dead-bodies
.
The
entry
of
the
Court
of
the
Lord
,
was
changed
to
a
standing
Lake
of
bloud
.
The
siluer
gates
of
the
Temple
,
no
more
were
gates
for
deuoute
worshippers
to
enter
in
at
,
but
slimy
flood-gates
for
thicke
iellied
gore
to
sluce
out
by
.
Who
hath
seene
a
Vaulte
vnder
a
Church
full
of
dust-died
sculs
,
and
rusty
dead-mens
bones
,
might
(
after
that
grosse
streame
of
gore
a
little
was
turn'd
aside
,
and
the
bloud
dryed
vp
,
)
rightly
allude
the
Temple
thereunto
:
for
now
it
was
no
more
a
prayer-prospering
House
,
but
a
pudly
Vault
of
dead-mens
bones
,
and
cast
out
bodies
kneaded
to
durt
.
Her
Alablaster
wals
were
all
furred
&
fome-painted
,
with
the
bespraying
of
mens
braines
dung
out
against
them
.
Her
high
roofe
was
mingle-colourd
with
mounting
drops
of
bloud
,
that
se●…'d
by
soaking
into
it
,
to
seeke
for
passage
to
heauen
.
The
siedge
growing
hot
,
the
seditious
hearts
somewhat
quailed
,
and
then
they
made
shew
as
they
would
correct
themselues
,
as
they
would
renounce
their
tumultuous
tyranies
;
And
whereas
lately
before
,
they
had
depriued
the
High-priest
both
of
life
and
office
,
now
(
dissemblingly
remorsed
)
they
would
needs
in
all
hast
,
in
his
roome
set
vp
another
,
and
by
lots
he
should
be
chosen
.
The
lot
fell
vpon
a
Plow-man
,
or
Carter
,
one
Pani
the
sonne
of
Peniel
,
and
hee
(
not-with-standing
his
ignorant
basenesse
,
and
base
rudenesse
)
as
in
a
mockery
,
was
instal'd
in
that
dignity
.
It
is
not
my
intent
to
runne
a
right
out-race
,
through
all
the
accidents
of
their
reprobation
,
onely
that
which
I
lay
downe
,
is
to
shew
how
vnfallibly
Christs
words
were
fulfilled
,
as
touching
their
tenne
times
merrited
desolation
.
Iudge
all
those
that
haue
sence
of
misery
,
ere
they
haue
occasion
to
vse
it
in
discerning
their
own
miseries
,
whether
this
were
not
desolation
or
no.
The
Lord
at
one
time
visited
their
Citty
with
those
foure
capitall
plagues
,
Fire
,
Famine
,
Pestilence
,
and
the
Sword
.
First
for
fire
,
thus
he
visited
it
:
There
were
a
thousand
&
foure
hundred
Store-houses
,
filled
vp
to
the
top
with
victuall
,
Corne
,
Wine
,
and
Oile
,
sufficient
to
maintaine
two
hundred
thousand
men
for
twenty
yeares
,
all
which
by
the
Seditious
was
set
on
fire
,
and
consumed
in
one
day
.
Diuers
gorgeous
buildings
they
enflamed
to
smoke
out
their
rich
owners
,
&
many
goodly
streets
end-longs
to
the
very
earth
they
encindred
:
for
nothing
but
to
haue
more
roome
to
bicker
in
.
Euery
corner
of
Ierusalem
,
had
a
voyce
heard
in
it
as
in
Ramah
,
of
weeping
,
mourning
,
&
great
lamentation
.
Scarce
could
one
friend
in
commoning
heare
another
,
for
the
howling
,
wringing
of
hands
,
sobbing
and
yelling
of
men
,
women
,
and
children
.
Heere
lay
they
halfe
dead
,
bayting
and
bathing
in
their
wounds
,
and
roaring
and
eare-rentingly
exclaiming
,
for
some
melting-hearted
man
,
to
come
and
rid
them
out
of
their
lingring
liuing
death
,
and
slay
them
out-right
.
The
sons
,
daughters
,
and
seruants
of
the
Elders
thus
vniustly
massacred
,
went
crying
vp
and
downe
the
Citty
like
mad-men
,
with
eies
and
hands
to
heauen
extended
,
Iustice
Lord
,
Iustice
Lord
,
Iustice
,
against
the
vniust
depriuers
of
our
friends
and
maintainers
.
This
was
the
Seditious
order
,
that
if
there
were
any
man
noted
to
be
of
more
wealth
then
other
,
him
they
pickt
a
quarrell
against
,
and
accused
of
treason
to
their
Sanctuary
,
and
sending
letters
to
the
Romanes
.
False
witnesses
they
had
in
pay
a
Campe
royal
.
Schimeon
wold
not
see
them
vnproudied
in
that
case
.
Not
onely
he
that
mourned
,
but
he
that
did
not
seeme
to
reioyce
at
the
Martyrdom
of
those
iust
men
,
was
dismist
the
same
way
.
Not
a
few
(
in
their
mindes
benummed
with
the
massacrous
monstrousnesse
of
this
quicke
Marshal-law
)
made
themselues
graues
,
and
went
into
them
aliue
.
The
channell
of
Iordan
was
so
ouer-burdened
and
charged
with
dead
carkasses
,
that
the
waters
contended
to
wash
their
hands
of
them
,
and
lightly
leapt
ouer
their
bankes
,
as
shunning
to
mixe
themselues
with
so
many
millions
of
murders
:
but
after
many
daies
abstinence
from
their
proper
entercourse
,
(
obseruing
they
must
liue
for
euer
banisht
from
their
bounds
,
except
they
made
some
riddance
of
them
,
)
they
recollected
their
liquid
forces
,
and
putting
all
their
wauy
shoulders
together
,
bare
the
whole
shole
of
them
before
them
,
as
farre
as
the
Sea
of
Sodom
.
Had
there
beene
at
that
time
a
Red-sea
new
to
be
created
,
the
bloud
(
that
like
a
Riuer
from
a
Mountaine
foote
,
flowed
forth
of
Ierusalem
)
would
haue
made
it
rich
in
surges
,
and
sufficient
to
wracke
many
ships
.
Euen
as
Iordan
,
so
the
Brooke
Cedron
,
and
the
waters
of
Schiloim
in
like
sort
were
choked
.
As
dead
Cats
and
Dogs
into
Buts
of
Sacke
and
Muscadine
are
throwne
,
(
for
their
fiery
strength
to
feed
on
,
)
so
into
Wels
and
Cesternes
were
dead
Corses
(
innumerable
)
throwne
,
for
their
blacke
waters
to
feede
on
.
From
the
fury
of
the
Sword
,
let
me
discend
to
Famine
and
the
Pestilence
,
the
two
latter
plagues
of
Ierusalem
.
In
giuing
them
sutable
phrase
,
had
I
the
command
of
a
thousand
singular
wits
,
I
should
bankroute
them
all
in
description
.
Plucke
vp
a
good
courage
mine
infant
pen
,
and
wearily
struggle
(
as
well
as
thou
maist
)
through
this
huge
word-dearthing
taske
.
The
Store-houses
burnt
,
the
siege
hard
plyed
,
the
waste
of
victuals
great
,
the
husbanding
of
them
none
at
all
:
there
fell
such
an
infestuous
vnsaciable
famine
amongst
them
,
that
if
all
the
stones
of
Ierusalem
had
ben
bread
,
and
they
should
haue
tyred
on
them
,
yet
would
they
haue
bene
behind
hand
with
their
appetite
.
Their
watry
wesands
were
like
to
leape
out
of
their
mouthes
for
meate
,
and
in
their
crawling
vp
to
seeke
passage
,
ready
to
haue
bene
seaz'd
on
by
their
iawes
for
sustenance
.
Like
an
ouer-hanging
Rocke
eaten
in
with
the
tide
,
or
Death
that
is
nere
picturd
,
but
with
an
vpper
chap
only
,
so
did
their
propendant
breast-bones
imminent-ouer-canopy
their
bellies
.
So
many
men
as
were
in
Ierusalem
,
so
many
pale
raw-bone
ghosts
you
would
haue
thought
you
had
seene
.
Euen
through
their
garments
their
rake-leane
ribbes
appeared
.
Their
sharpe
embossed
Anckle
bones
,
turnd
vp
the
earth
like
a
Plow-share
,
when
in
going
their
feete
swarued
.
The
empty
Aire
they
would
catch
at
in
steed
of
meate
,
like
as
a
Spaniell
catcheth
at
a
flie
;
the
very
dust
they
gnasht
at
as
it
slew
,
and
their
owne
armes
and
their
legs
they
hardly
for-bare
.
Their
teeth
they
would
grinde
one
against
another
,
to
a
white
powder
like
meale
.
The
durty
mosse
on
the
pentisses
of
their
houses
,
they
gnawde
off
most
greedily
.
Not
a
weede
sprung
vp
,
but
(
ere
it
aspired
halfe
to
his
growth
,
)
by
them
it
was
weeded
and
rauenously
rauncht
vp
.
All
the
bushes
and
boughes
,
within
,
or
round
about
Ierusalem
,
were
hewed
downe
and
feld
,
for
men
(
like
briute
beasts
)
to
brouze
on
.
Within
twelue
mile
compasse
of
the
Citty
,
where
there
were
wont
to
be
the
most
Elizian-like
gardens
,
and
flower-gilded
fields
vnder
heauen
,
what
for
the
Romanes
and
them
,
was
there
not
now
left
a
crop
of
any
Gourde
or
greene
thing
.
The
Sedetious
&
the
Souldiers
would
come
running
into
the
Cittizens
houses
,
and
taking
them
by
the
bosomes
,
cry
aloud
,
Giue
vs
meate
,
Giue
vs
meate
by
the
Lord
we
will
haue
meate
:
rob
,
steale
,
runne
into
the
Tents
of
our
enemies
for
meat
for
vs
,
or
wee
will
make
meate
of
you
and
your
children
.
Mens
Cellars
and
Garrets
for
meat
they
searcht
.
If
there
were
but
the
bloud
of
any
thing
spilt
on
the
ground
,
like
hungry
dogs
they
would
licke
it
vp
.
Rats
,
Mise
,
Weafels
,
Scorpions
,
were
no
common
mens
iunckets
.
In
the
beginning
of
this
scarcity
,
had
any
but
a
dish
full
of
Corne
left
to
send
to
the
Mil
,
they
were
afraid
to
send
it
,
for
feare
they
should
set
all
Ierusalem
together
by
the
cares
for
it
.
Wherefore
in
their
low
vnder
earth
Vaults
,
they
digd
lower
Caues
,
which
couering
with
bordes
,
and
formally
pauing
ouer
,
there
they
eate
their
Corne
vnground
(
closely
,
)
because
they
would
not
be
circumuented
.
Exceeding
rich
Magnificos
stole
victuall
one
from
another
,
and
would
lie
in
waite
a
whole
weeke
together
to
intercept
but
a
chypping
.
The
Father
stole
from
the
Sonne
,
and
oftentimes
tore
the
meate
out
of
his
mouth
;
the
Sonne
could
scarce
refraine
from
biting
out
his
Fathers
throate-boule
,
when
he
saw
him
swallow
downe
a
bit
that
he
died
for
.
The
Mother
lurcht
from
them
both
,
her
yong
weaned
Children
(
famisht
for
want
of
nourishment
)
sastned
their
sharpe
edged
gums
on
her
fingers
,
and
would
not
let
them
go
,
till
she
pluckt
the
morsell
out
of
her
owne
maw
to
put
into
theirs
.
Hee
that
then
had
had
a
Kingdome
,
would
haue
giuen
it
for
a
crust
of
bread
.
Not
a
Butterflie
,
Grashopper
,
Worme
,
Neuet
or
Canker
,
but
was
persecuted
,
and
sought
out
to
satisfie
emptinesse
.
You
should
haue
seene
a
hundred
together
,
fighting
&
scrambling
about
a
dead
Horse
.
Sometimes
they
would
send
their
children
farre
out
of
the
Citty
to
gather
rootes
and
hearbes
,
thinking
that
the
Romans
carried
more
honourable
mindes
then
to
execute
their
vtmost
on
them
:
but
all
was
one
,
for
they
spared
neither
yong
nor
old
.
Many
Noble-men
,
eate
the
Leather
of
their
Chariots
as
they
rid
.
Miriam
a
Matron
of
great
port
,
and
of
high
lynage
discended
(
hauing
her
receipt
of
digestion
almost
closed
vp
with
fasting
)
after
she
had
sustained
her
life
a
large
space
,
by
scraping
in
chaffe
and
muck-hils
for
beasts
dung
,
and
that
meanes
forsaking
her
,
she
had
no
other
refuge
of
fosterment
,
she
was
constrained
(
for
her
liues
supportance
)
hauing
but
one
onely
sonne
,
to
kill
him
and
roast
him
.
Mothers
of
London
,
(
each
one
of
you
to
your selues
)
doe
but
imagine
that
you
were
Miriam
,
with
what
heart
(
suppose
you
)
could
ye
go
about
the
cooquery
of
your
owne
children
.
Not
hate
but
hunger
,
taught
Miriam
to
forget
mother-hood
.
To
this
purport
conceit
her
discoursing
with
herselfe
.
It
is
better
to
make
a
Sepulchre
for
him
in
mine
owne
body
,
then
leaue
him
to
be
lickt
vp
by
ouer-goers
feete
in
the
streete
.
The
wrath
of
GOD
is
kindled
in
euery
corner
of
the
Citty
,
Famine
hath
sworne
to
leaue
no
breathing
thing
in
her
Wals
;
without
the
Wals
,
the
Sword
more
vsurpeth
then
Famine
.
Our
enemies
are
mercilesse
,
for
we
haue
no
eies
to
see
our
owne
misery
.
Not
they
alone
besiedge
vs
,
but
our
sinnes
also
.
Fire
and
Famine
afflict
vs
.
We
haue
where-with-all
to
feed
Fire
and
Famine
,
but
not
where-with
to
feede
our selues
and
our
children
.
My
sonne
,
my
sonne
,
I
cannot
relieue
thee
,
I
haue
Gold
and
Siluer
to
giue
thee
,
but
not
a
pairing
of
any
repast
to
preserue
thee
.
My
son
,
my
son
,
why
should
I
not
kill
famine
by
killing
thee
,
ere
Famine
in
excruciating
thee
,
kill
mee
.
O
my
deere
Babe
,
had
I
in
euery
limbe
of
mee
a
seuerall
life
,
so
many
liues
as
I
haue
limbes
,
to
Death
would
I
resigne
,
to
saue
thine
one
life
.
Saue
thee
I
may
not
though
I
should
giue
my
soule
for
thee
.
The
greatest
debt
I
haue
bound
thee
to
mee
with
,
is
by
bearing
thee
in
my
wombe
:
I
le
binde
thee
to
mee
againe
,
in
my
womb
I
le
beare
thee
againe
,
and
there
bury
thee
ere
Famine
shall
confound
thee
:
I
will
vnswathe
thy
breast
with
my
sharpe
knife
,
and
breake
ope
the
bone-walled
prison
where
thy
poore
heart
is
lockt
vp
to
be
pined
;
Those
Chaines
and
Manacles
of
corruptiue
bowels
(
where-with
thy
soule
is
now
fetterd
,
)
will
I
free
it
from
.
I
will
lend
Death
a
false
key
to
enter

Euen
as
amongst
the
Indians
,
there
is
a
certaine
people
,
that
when
any
of
their
Kins-folkes
are
sicke
,
saue
charges
of
Physicke
,
and
rather
resolue
(
vnnaturally
)
to
eate
them
vp
,
then
day-diuersifying
Agues
,
or
bloudboyling
surfets
,
should
fit
meale
feede
on
them
:
so
do
I
resolue
,
rather
to
eate
thee
vp
my
sonne
,
and
feed
on
thy
flesh
royally
,
then
inward
emperishing
Famine
should
too
vntimely
inage
thee
.
Would
God
,
as
the
men
of
Ephraim
were
not
able
distinctly
to
pronounce
Shibboleth
,
so
I
could
not
distinctly
pronoune
this
sweet
name
of
My
sonne
:
it
is
too
sweet
a
name
to
come
in
slaughters
mouth
.
Though
Dauid
sung
of
mercy
and
iudgement
together
,
yet
cannot
I
sing
of
cruelty
and
compassion
together
;
remember
I
am
a
Mother
,
and
play
the
murdresse
both
at
once
.
O
therefore
in
my
words
do
I
striue
to
be
tyrannous
,
that
I
may
be
the
better
able
to
enact
with
my
hands
.
Sildome
,
or
neuer
,
is
there
any
that
doth
ill
,
but
speakes
ill
first
.
The
tongue
is
the
encouraging
Captaine
,
that
(
with
danger-glorifying
perswasion
,
)
animates
all
the
other
corporeall
parts
to
be
ventrous
.
Hee
is
the
Iudge
that
doomes
and
determines
;
the
rest
of
our
faculties
&
powers
,
are
but
the
secular
executioners
of
his
sentence
.
Be
prest
mine
hands
(
as
Iaile-garding
officers
)
to
see
executed
,
whatsoeuer
your
superior
tongue-slaying
Iudge
shall
decree
.
Embrawne
your
soft-skin'd
enclosure
with
Adamantine
dust
,
that
it
may
draw
nothing
but
steele
vnto
it
.
Arme
your selues
against
my
son
,
not
as
my
son
,
but
my
bed-intercepting
Bastard
,
begotten
of
some
strumpet
.
My
heart
shall
receiue
an
iniunction
imaginarily
to
disinherite
him
.
No
relenting
thought
of
mine
,
shall
retaine
you
with
repentant
affectionate
humors
.
I
will
bloud-shot
mine
eies
,
that
all
may
seeme
sanguine
they
looke
on
.
Some
dead
man
that
is

slaine

my

Ratifide
it
is
,
(
bad-fated
Saturnine
boy
,
)
that
thou
must
be
Anthropophagiz'd
by
thine
owne
mother
.
Thou
wert
once
the
chiefe
pillar
of
my
posterity
,
and
the
whole
reliance
of
my
name
:
Well
I
hoped
thou
shouldst
haue
reuiued
and
new
grafted
thy
fathers
fame
;
I
expected
Ierusalem
should
haue
had
a
strong
prop
of
thee
.
And
if
at
any
time
it
were
war-threatned
,
thy
right
arme
should
haue
re-tranquiliz'd
and
reioyc't
it
:
that
the
yong-men
in
their
merry-running
Madrigals
,
and
sportiue
Base-bidding
Roundelayes
for
thee
,
should
haue
honoured
mee
:
That
the

their
loud
tinternelling
Timbrils

should
haue
descanted
on
my
praises
.
Mine
age
of
thee
expected
all
life-expedient
necessaries
.
My
sight
put
not
on
yeares-dimnesse
so
soone
as
it
would
haue
done
,
onely
trusting
thou
shouldst
seale
it
vp
when
Death
had
dusked
it
.
My
beauty-creasing
cares
,
and
frowne-imitating
wrinkles
,
were
wholy
buried
in
the
monumentall
graue
,
which
I
(
misdeeming
)
deemed
thy
sword
might
dig
me
.
All
these
my
airy-bodied
expectations
,
Famine
hath
dispersed
.
I
must
enter
thee
,
thou
canst
not
entombe
me
.
Thy
little
soule
to
Heauen
must
be
sent
,
to
intelligence
the
calamity
of
Ierusalem
:
God
will
haue
pitty
of
thee
,
and
(
perhaps
)
pitty
Ierusalem
for
thee
.
He
surely
will
melt
in
remorse
,
and
wither
vp
the
hand
of
his
wrath
,
when
in
his
eares
it
shall
be
clamoured
,
how
the
desolation
he
hath
laid
on
Ierusalem
,
hath
compelled
a
tender-starued
mother
to
kill
and
eate
her
onely
sonne
.
And
yet
his
owne
onely
Childe
Christ
Iesus
,
(
as
deere
to
him
as
thou
to
me
,
my
sonne
)
hee
sent
into
the
world
to
be
crucified
.
O
sorrow
conceiuing
Mothers
,
looke
to
haue
all
your
children
crucified
,
to
haue
none
of
them
remitted
,
since
our
Husbands
haue
bene
so
hardy
,
to
lay
harmfull
hands
on
the
Lord
of
Life
.
Can
GOD
be
more
griefe-yeelding
,
with
the
losse
and
life-famishing
of
our
innocent
children
,
then
hee
was
at
the
giuing
vp
of
his
owne
onely
Son
.
That
one
deadly
deed
hath
obdurated
him
,
and
made
him
a
hard
God
to
all
Mothers
.
Famine
,
the
Lord
hath
sent
thee
to
heape
a
second
curse
vpon
Mothers
.
Neuer
shall
it
be
said
,
thou
tookst
from
me
my
Sonne
,
his
Fathers
Faulchion
shall
send
him
to
sleepe
with
his
Fathers
.
Neither
shall
his
death
be
recorded
as
my
crime
in
Heauens
Iudgement-booke
,
when
I
but
onely
rid
him
(
that
is
as
good
as
dead
already
)
out
of
the
tedious
paine
of
dying
.
I
haue
no
meate
(
my
son
)
to
bring
thee
vp
with
;
I
haue
no
eares
to
giue
idle
passage
to
the
plaints
of
thy
pyning
.
The
enemies
without
and
within
,
shall
diuide
thy
blouds-guilt
betwixt
them
.
Amongst
the
rablement
shalt
thou
not
miscarry
;
I
le
beare
thee
in
my
bosome
to
Paradice
:
Thy
tombe
shall
be
my
stomack
,
with
thy
flesh
will
I
feast
mee
.
This
shall
be
all
the
childs
tribute
I
will
require
of
thee
,
for
the
sixe
yeares
life
I
haue
giuen
thee
,
to
cherish
mee
but
sixe
daies
,
and
rather
then
Famine
should
consume
mee
,
to
consume
thy selfe
in
my
sustenance
.
The
fore-skinne
of
originall
sin
shalt
thou
cleane
circumcise
,
by
this
one
act
of
piety
.
Returne
into
mee
,
&
see
the
mould
wherein
thou
wert
cast
.
As
much
paine
in
thy
conception
endured
I
for
thee
,
as
I
will
put
thee
to
in
thy
departure
.
By
nature
we
all
desire
to
returne
to
the
soile
from
whence
wee
came
,
wert
thou
of
age
to
plead
thine
owne
desires
,
I
know
they
would
be
accordant
with
mine
.
I
am
thy
Mother
and
must
desire
for
thee
,
I
loue
thee
more
then
thou
canst
thy selfe
,
therfore
cannot
my
desires
endamage
thee
.
Into
the
Garden
of
Eden
I
will
leade
thee
,
but
one
gap
broke
ope
thy
entrance
is
made
.
More
shalt
thou
terrifie
the
seditious
by
the
constraintment
of
thy
quartering
,
then
if
Iehouah
out
of
a
clowd
should
speake
to
them
.
T
is
not
thou
,
but
I
,
shall
be
counted
opprobrious
.
Loe
there
goes
the
woman
,
shall
they
say
,
that
hath
slyced
&
eaten
her
owne
sonne
.
I
am
content
to
vndergoe
any
shame
to
abash
and
rebuke
their
faces
.
Sword
,
how
euer
I
haue
flatterd
thee
,
looke
for
no
direction
from
mine
eyes
:
for
though
with
my
hands
I
out-rage
,
with
mine
eyes
I
cannot
.
Mine
eyes
are
womanish
,
my
hands
are
manly
.
Mine
eyes
will
shed
teares
in
steed
of
shedding
bloud
:
they
will
regard
pittifull
lookes
,
the
white
skin
,
the
comly
proportion
;
the
tender
youth
,
the
quiet
lying
like
a
Lambe
,
my
hand
beholdeth
none
of
these
:
and
yet
it
is
my
right
hand
,
which
should
do
euery
one
right
,
much
more
mine
owne
childe
.
Right
will
I
do
thee
(
noble
infant
)
in
righting
thee
from
the
wrongs
of
Famine
.
Nere
shall
the
Romans
haue
thee
for
their
Warde
.
Thus
,
thus
,
(
like
blind-fold
Fortune
)
I
right
thee
,
mine
eyes
being
vailed
.
At
one
stroke
(
euen
as
these
words
were
in
speaking
)
she
beheaded
him
,
and
when
she
had
done
,
turning
the
Apron
from
of
her
own
face
on
his
,
that
the
sight
might
not
afreshly
distemper
her
,
without
seeing
,
speaking
,
deliberating
,
or
almost
thinking
any
more
of
him
,
she
sod
,
rost
,
and
powdred
him
:
and
hauing
eate
as
much
as
sufficed
,
set
vp
the
rest
.
The
Seditious
smelling
the
sauour
of
a
feast
,
(
which
at
that
time
was
no
ordinary
matter
in
Ierusalem
)
roughly
(
in
heapes
)
rusht
and
burst
into
the
house
,
saying
:
wicked
woman
,
thou
hast
meate
,
and
traiterously
concealest
it
from
vs
:
we
'le
teare
thee
in
peeces
if
thou
sets
not
part
of
it
before
vs
.
With
some
few
words
of
excuse
before
them
,
what
she
had
brought
,
entertaning
them
in
these
,
or
like
,
termes
.
Eate
I
pray
you
,
here
is
good
meate
,
be
not
affraid
,
it
is
flesh
of
my
flesh
,
I
bare
it
,
I
nurst
it
,
I
suckled
it
.
Loe
;
heere
is
the
head
,
the
hands
and
the
feete
.
It
was
mine
owne
onely
sonne
I
tell
you
.
Sweet
was
he
to
mee
in
his
life
,
but
neuer
so
sweete
as
in
his
death
.
Behold
his
pale
perboyld
visage
,
how
pretty-pitteous
it
lookes
.
His
pure
snow-moulded
soft
flesh
will
melt
of
it selfe
in
your
mouthes
:
who
can
abstaine
from
these
two
round
teat-like
cheekes
?
Be
not
dainty
to
cut
them
vp
,
the
rest
of
his
body
haue
I
cut
vp
to
your
hands
.
Crauens
,
cowards
,
recreants
,
sit
you
mute
and
amazed
?
Neuer
entred
you
into
consideration
of
your
cruelty
before
?
It
is
you
that
haue
rob'd
me
of
all
my
food
,
&
so
consequently
rob'd
me
of
my
only
Son
.
Vengeance
on
your
soules
,
&
all
the
descending
generations
of
the
seede
of
your
Tribes
,
for
thus
mirrouring
mee
for
the
Monarch-monster
of
Mothers
.
No
Chronicle
that
shall
write
of
Ierusalems
last
captiuity
,
but
shall
write
of
mee
also
.
Not
any
shall
talk
of
Gods
iudgement
on
this
Citty
,
but
for
the
cardinall
iudgement
against
it
,
shall
recite
mine
enforcement
to
eate
mine
own
childe
.
I
am
a
woman
and
haue
kil'd
him
and
eate
of
him
.
My
womanish
stomacke
hath
serued
me
to
that
,
which
your
man-like
stomackes
are
dastarded
with
.
What
I
haue
done
,
you
haue
driuen
me
to
do
;
what
you
haue
driuen
me
to
do
,
now
being
done
you
are
daunted
with
.
Eate
of
my
sonne
one
morsell
yet
,
that
it
may
memorize
against
you
,
ye
are
accessary
to
his
dismembring
.
Let
that
morsell
be
his
heart
,
if
you
will
,
that
the
greater
may
be
your
conuictment
.
Men
of
warre
you
are
,
who
make
no
conscience
of
tearing
out
any
mans
heart
for
a
morsell
of
bread
.
Most
valiant
Captaines
why
for-beare
you
,
is
not
here
your
owne
diet
,
humane
bloud
?
Heere
is
my
sonnes
breast
,
pierce
it
once
againe
,
for
once
you
haue
pierc't
it
with
Famine
.
Are
not
you
they
that
spoyled
my
house
,
and
left
me
no
kind
of
cherishment
for
me
and
my
son
?
Feede
on
that
you
haue
slaine
and
spare
not
.
O
my
son
,
ô
mine
onely
sonne
,
these
Seditious
are
the
diuels
that
directed
the
sword
against
thy
throate
.
They
with
their
armed
hands
,
haue
crammed
thy
flesh
into
my
pallate
:
Now
poyson
them
with
thy
flesh
,
for
it
is
they
that
haue
supplanted
thee
.
Renowned
is
thyne
end
,
for
in
Ierusalem
is
none
hath
resisted
Famine
but
thou
.
Me
thou
hast
fed
,
thy selfe
thou
hast
freed
.
'T
is
thou
onely
that
at
the
latter
day
shalt
condemne
these
Seditious
.
Excuse
me
,
that
onely
what
I
could
not
chuse
committed
.
I
did
all
for
the
best
.
The
best
remedy
of
thine
vnrepriueable
peruerse
destiny
was
death
:
therefore
I
deuoured
thee
that
foules
of
the
aire
might
not
rent
thee
.
For
sauce
to
thy
flesh
,
haue
I
infused
my
teares
,
who
so
dippeth
in
them
,
shall
taste
of
my
sorrow
.
The
Rebels
hearing
this
,
were
wholy
metamorphiz'd
into
mellancholy
;
yea
,
the
Chiefe-tanes
of
them
were
ouer-clowded
in
conceite
.
Was
neuer
till
this
euer
heard
from
Adam
,
that
a
woman
eate
her
owne
Child
.
Was
neuer
such
a
desolation
as
the
desolatian
of
Ierusalem
.
As
touching
the
Pestilence
,
some
short
peroration
is
now
to
succeed
.
Of
it
there
died
more
then
a
hundred
thousand
during
the
time
of
the
siedge
.
Out
of
the
least
gate
of
Ierusalem
,
(
which
was
that
towards
the
Brooke
Cedron
,
)
were
carried
forth
to
buriall
,
a
hundred
fifteene
thousand
,
a
hundred
and
eight
persons
:
all
which
were
of
the
Nobles
,
Gentlemen
,
and
substantialest
men
of
the
Iewes
.
Many
fled
to
Titus
,
who
when
they
came
to
meate
,
could
eate
none
of
it
,
but
dyed
with
the
very
sight
thereof
.
Of
those
that
fled
,
a
great
number
swallowed
vp
their
Gold
and
their
Iewels
,
which
(
being
cleerely
escaped
)
they
sought
amongst
their
excrements
.
But
when
by
the
Aramites
,
and
Arabians
,
(
Titus
mercenary
Souldiers
)
it
was
perceiued
,
they
slew
them
out-right
,
and
ript
their
bowels
for
their
gold
,
and
so
left
them
to
the
Eagles
and
Rauens
.
Two
thousand
by
this
couetise
slept
their
last
.
The
Princes
of
the
Iewes
,
(
which
Titus
as
submissioners
and
succour-suers
had
receiued
to
mercy
,
)
he
straightly
examined
on
their
allegeance
and
fidelity
,
how
many
were
dead
in
the
Citty
since
he
first
beleagured
it
:
&
the
number
was
giuen
vp
,
(
namely
of
such
as
were
carried
forth
at
all
gates
to
be
buried
,
and
were
slaine
in
battell
,
)
seuen
hundred
thousand
,
fiue
hundred
,
seuenty
and
fiue
,
besides
many
thousands
that
in
the
streetes
and
Temple
lay
vnburied
,
and
were
cast
downe
into
the
Brooke
Cedron
.
The
whole
Bil
(
when
the
siege
was
concluded
)
came
to
eleuen
hundred
thousand
,
all
which
in
foureteene
monthes
misfortuned
.
Sixeteene
thousand
Titus
led
prisoners
to
Rome
,
(
those
omitted
which
vnder
Eleazers
conduct
perished
.
)
The
Sanctum
sanctorum
was
set
on
fire
,
and
the
Priestes
therein
smothered
.
All
the
Antique
buildings
were
burnt
and
beaten
downe
.
Of
Dauid
,
Salomon
,
or
the
old
Kings
of
Israell
,
was
there
no
Trophy
remaining
,
no
stone
but
discituate
.
Ierusalem
was
left
,
not
as
Ierusalem
,
but
a
naked
plot
of
ground
;
And
as
it
was
said
of
Priams
Towne
,
Iam
seges
est
,
vbi
Troia
fuit
,
now
is
that
a
Corne-field
,
that
was
erst
called
Troy
:
So
that
is
now
a
Mount
of
stones
,
that
in
yeares
past
was
intituled
Ierusalem
.
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
what
shall
I
say
to
thee
more
but
Christ
fore-told
thy
House
should
be
left
desolate
vnto
thee
:
and
loe
,
as
he
fore-told
it
is
falne
out
.
Of
all
thy
gates
that
were
plated
ouer
with
siluer
,
is
there
not
so
much
as
one
nayle
remaining
.
Thy
streets
were
paued
with
Marble
,
and
thy
houses
ietted
out
with
Iaphy
and
Cedar
:
that
pauement
,
those
houses
,
thy
habitation
(
like
dust
engrauen
Letters
)
is
quite
abrased
and
plowed
vp
.
Thine
enemies
on
thy
Sanctury
tooke
compassion
,
(
beholding
the
glory
of
it
)
thou
took'st
none
.
Titus
(
an
Infidell
)
vnderstanding
the
multitude
of
thy
prophanations
and
contumacies
,
was
affraid
(
hauing
entred
thee
)
to
stay
in
thee
,
saying
:
Let
vs
hence
,
least
their
sinnes
destroy
vs
.
Nothing
thou
feared'st
,
in
Old-wiues
fables
thou
beleeued'st
:
with
Th'almudisticall
dreames
(
that
thy
Temple
after
her
destruction
should
be
built
vp
in
a
day
)
thy selfe
thou
deludest
.
And
whereas
thou
hadst
a
Prophecy
that
thy
Sanctuary
should
not
be
prostituted
,
till
out
of
thy
quarters
sprung
a
Monarch
of
the
whole
Earth
,
thou
wert
blinded
,
and
wantedst
the
sence
,
in
Vespasian
to
picke
out
his
expletement
.
For
hee
,
comming
into
Iudea
but
as
a
subiected
Generall
to
the
Romane
Empire
,
by
his
owne
Souldiers
(
against
his
will
)
was
there
consecrated
Emperour
:
and
so
out
of
thy
dominions
,
or
quarters
,
departed
he
,
leauing
his
sonne
Titus
behind
him
to
sacke
thee
.
See
with
how
many
deceits
thou
art
circumuented
,
for
calling
Christ
a
circumuenter
and
deceiuer
.
For
stoning
him
and
his
Prophets
,
and
vsing
such
great
in-iustice
His
bloud
be
vpon
vs
,
and
our
children
.
Inhumane
policy
another
cause
I
coniecture
.
Thoulers
Eleazer
,
a
priuate
man
,
take
the
sword
of
thy
freedome
into
his
hands
vnauthorized
;
Thou
suffredst
him
(
vnpunished
)
to
resist
the
Romane
Prouinciall
Plorus
:
Ill
didst
thou
therein
,
for
in
gouernment
,
(
though
it
be
to
resist
publique
violence
,
)
it
is
not
safe
to
suffer
a
priuate
man
to
vnder-take
Armes
as
generall
.
The
reasons
,
hereafter
,
I
will
open
in
some
other
discourse
,
treating
wholy
of
those
matters
.
The
chiefe
reason
of
thy
confusion
,
was
the
ripenesse
of
thy
sinnes
,
which
were
seeded
for
want
of
Gods
putting
his
sicle
into
them
.
Ierusalem
,
If
I
were
to
describe
Hell
,
some
part
of
thy
desolation
description
would
I
borrow
,
to
make
it
more
horror-some
.
Eleuen
hundred
thousand
,
for
these
few
words
,
but
thou
wouldst
not
,
most
wretchedly
lost
their
liues
.
If
but
one
line
(
thy
House
shall
be
left
desolate
vnto
thee
)
included
all
this
,
what
doth
the
whole
Scripture
include
?
Not
a
peece
of
a
line
in
it
that
talkes
of
the
Lake
of
Fire
and
Brimstone
,
but
by
a
hundred
thousand
parts
more
importeth
.
It
is
a
quiuer
of
short
Arrowes
,
which
neuer
shew
their
length
till
they
be
full
shot
out
,
a
ball
of
Wilde-fire
round
wrapt
vp
together
,
which
burneth
not
but
cast
forth
,
a
close
winded
clue
,
conducting
those
that
deale
vnaduisedly
with
it
,
into
the
Minotaurs
Laborinth
of
paine
euerlasting
.
I
would
wish
no
man
to
be
too
milde
in
expounding
it
.
It
hath
more
edges
to
smite
with
then
it
shewes
:
It
is
not
sely
in
operation
,
though
it
be
simple
in
apparance
.
Ierusalem
,
not
all
thy
seuenty
Esdrean
Cabalizers
,
who
traditionately
from
Moyses
receiued
the
Laws
interpretation
,
could
euer
rightly
teach
thee
to
diuine
of
the
crucified
Messias
.
The
Scripture
thou
madest
a
too-to
compound
Cabalisticall
substance
of
,
by
canonizing
such
a
multifarious
Genealogie
of
Comments
.
HEtherto
stretcheth
the
prosecution
of
thy
desolation
.
Now
to
London
must
I
turne
mee
,
London
that
turneth
from
none
of
thy
left-hand
impieties
.
As
great
a
desolation
as
Ierusalem
,
hath
London
deserued
.
Whatsoeuer
of
Ierusalem
I
haue
written
,
was
but
to
lend
her
a
Looking-glasse
.
Now
I
enter
into
my
true
Teares
,
my
Teares
for
London
,
wherein
I
craue
pardon
,
though
I
deale
more
searchingly
then
common
Soule-Surgions
accustome
:
for
in
this
Booke
,
wholy
haue
I
bequeathed
my
penne
and
my
Spirit
,
to
the
prosternating
and
enforrowing
the
frontiers
of
sinne
.
So
let
it
be
acceptable
to
God
and
his
Church
what
I
write
,
as
no
man
in
this
Treatise
I
will
particulerly
touch
,
none
I
will
semouedly
allude
to
,
but
onely
attaint
vice
in
generall
.
Pride
shall
be
my
principall
aime
,
which
in
London
hath
plat-formed
another
Sky-vndersetting
Tower
of
Babell
.
Ionathan
shot
fiue
Arrowes
beyond
the
marke
,
I
feare
I
shall
shoote
fifteene
Arrowes
behind
the
mark
,
O
Pride
,
of
all
Heauen-relapsing
premunires
the
most
fearefull
:
thou
that
ere
this
hast
disparradiz'd
our
first
Parent
Adani
,
and
vnrightuouz'd
the
very
Angels
,
how
shall
I
arme
mine
elocution
,
to
breake
through
the
rankes
of
thy
bily
stumbling
blocks
.
After
the
destruction
of
Antwerpe
,
thou
being
thrust
out
of
house
and
home
,
and
not
knowing
whither
to
betake
thee
)
at
hap
hazard
embarkedst
for
England
.
Where
hearing
rich
London
was
the
ful-streamed
wel-head
,
vnto
it
thou
hastedst
,
and
there
hast
dwelt
many
yeares
,
begetting
sons
and
daughters
.
Thy
sonnes
names
are
these
,
Ambition
,
Vaine-glory
,
Atheisine
,
Discontent
,
Contention
.
Thy
daughters
,
Disdaine
,
Gorgeous-attire
,
and
Delicacy
.
O
had
Antwerpe
still
flourished
,
that
thou
hadst
nere
come
hither
to
mis-fashion
vs
,
or
that
there
were
any
Citty
would
take
thy
children
to
halfes
with
vs
.
Thy
first
sonne
Ambition
,
is
waxt
a
great
Courtier
,
and
maketh
him
wings
of
his
long
Furies
haire
,
to
flie
vp
to
Heauen
with
:
hee
hath
a
throne
raysed
vp
vnder
his
heeles
in
euery
start-vp
he
treads
on
.
His
backe
bandieth
colours
with
the
Sunne
.
The
ground
he
thinketh
extremely
honoured
and
beholding
to
him
,
if
he
blesse
it
but
with
one
humble
looke
.
Nothing
he
talks
on
but
kentals
of
Pearle
,
the
conquering
of
India
,
and
fishing
for
Kingdomes
.
Fame
he
makes
his
God
,
and
mens
mouthes
the
limite
of
his
conscience
.
So
many
greater
as
there
are
then
himselfe
,
so
many
griefes
he
hath
.
The
deuill
may
command
all
his
heart
and
soule
,
if
hee
will
rid
him
but
of
one
riuall
.
Hee
that
but
crosseth
him
in
the
course
of
his
ascension
,
either
killeth
him
out-right
,
(
if
he
be
aboue
his
reach
)
or
is
sure
(
kill
hee
not
first
)
in
the
end
to
kild
by
him
.
Poore
men
he
looks
should
part
with
all
their
goods
,
to
haue
him
but
take
knowledge
of
them
;
Hee
seekes
to
get
him
a
Maiesty
in
his
frowne
,
and
doe
some-thing
to
seeme
terrible
to
the
multitude
.
Euen
curtesie
and
humility
he
peruerteth
to
pride
,
where
hee
cannot
otherwise
pray
.
Hath
no
childe
of
pride
so
many
disciples
as
this
tip-toe
Ambition
.
Why
call
I
him
Ambition
,
when
he
hath
changed
his
name
vnto
Honor
?
I
meane
not
the
honour
of
the
field
,
(
Ambitions
onely
enemy
)
which
I
could
wish
might
be
euer
,
and
onely
,
honourably
,
but
Brokerly
blowne
vp
honour
,
honour
by
anticke
fawning
fidled
vp
,
honour
bestowed
for
damned
deserts
.
Of
this
kind
of
honour
is
this
Elfe
(
we
call
Ambition
)
compacted
.
Yet
will
I
not
say
,
but
euen
in
the
highest
noblest
birth
,
and
honourablest
glory
of
Armes
,
there
may
be
Ambition
.
Dauid
was
ambitious
when
he
caused
the
people
to
be
numbred
.
Nebuchadnezzar
eate
grasse
for
his
Ambition
.
Herod
was
Ambitious
,
when
in
Angelicall
apparell
he
spoke
to
the
people
.
The
truest
image
of
this
kind
of
Ambition
was
Absolom
.
Iulius
Caesar
amongst
the
Ethnicks
surmounted
,
who
when
he
had
conquered
Gallia
,
Belgia
,
this
our
poore
Albion
,
and
the
better
part
of
Europe
,
and
vpon
his
returne
to
Rome
was
crowned
Emperour
,
in
the
heighth
of
his
prosperity
,
he
sent
men
skil'd
in
Geometry
,
to
mesure
the
whole
world
,
that
whereas
he
intended
to
conquer
it
all
,
hee
might
know
how
long
hee
should
be
in
ouer-running
it
.
Letters
had
they
directed
to
all
Presidents
,
Consuls
,
Dukes
,
Palatines
,
Tetrarchs
,
and
Iudges
of
Prouinces
to
assist
them
&
safe
conduct
them
.
Their
Commission
was
not
onely
to
measure
the
earth
,
but
the
Waters
,
the
Woods
,
the
Seas
,
the
Shores
,
the
Vallies
,
the
Hils
,
and
the
Mountaines
.
In
this
discouery
thirty
yeares
were
spent
,
from
his
Consul-ship
,
to
the
Consulship
of
Saturnius
,
when
God-wot
poore
man
,
twenty
yeares
good
before
they
returned
,
he
was
all
to
be-poyniarded
in
the
Senate
house
,
and
had
the
dust
of
his
bones
in
a
brasen
vrne
(
no
bigger
then
a
bowle
)
barreld
vp
,
whom
(
if
he
had
liued
)
all
the
Sea
,
and
Earth
,
and
Aire
,
would
haue
beene
too
little
for
.
Let
the
ambitious
man
stretch
out
his
limbes
neuer
so
,
he
taketh
vp
no
more
ground
(
being
dead
)
then
the
Beggar
.
London
,
of
many
ambitious
busie
heades
,
hast
thou
beheld
the
rising
and
downe
falling
.
In
thy
stately
Schoole
are
they
first
tutord
in
their
Art
.
With
example
thou
first
exaltest
them
,
and
stil
lifts
them
vp
,
til
thou
hast
lifted
vp
their
heads
on
thy
gates
.
What
a
thing
is
the
heart
of
man
,
that
it
should
swell
so
bigge
as
the
whole
world
.
Alexander
was
but
a
little
man
,
yet
if
there
had
beene
a
hundred
Worlds
to
conquer
,
his
heart
would
haue
comprised
them
.
Did
men
consider
wherof
they
were
made
,
and
that
the
dust
was
their
great
Grand-mother
,
they
would
be
more
humiliate
and
deiected
;
Of
a
britler
mettal
then
Glasse
,
is
this
we
call
Ambition
made
,
and
to
mischaunces
more
subiect
.
Glasse
with
good
vsage
may
be
kept
and
continue
many
ages
.
The
dayes
of
man
are
numbred
,
threescore
and
tenne
is
his
terme
,
if
he
liue
any
longer
,
it
is
but
labour
and
sorrow
.
Glasse
feareth
not
sicknes
,
nor
old
age
,
it
gathereth
no
wrinkles
with
standing
.
It
hath
not
so
many
that
scoute
and
ly
in
waite
for
his
end
as
Ambition
:
for
hee
(
as
all
man-kind
)
is
continually
liable
to
a
million
of
mischances
;
besides
,
a
legion
of
diseases
lingering
about
him
.
Admit
none
of
those
meet
with
him
,
Time
with
his
Sicle
wil
be
sure
not
to
misse
him
.
A
man
may
scape
a
sicknesse
,
a
blow
,
a
fall
,
a
wild-beast
:
he
cannot
escape
his
last
destiny
.
External
daungers
(
such
as
these
be
)
euery
one
is
circumspect
and
careful
to
auoide
;
Not
any
one
ponders
in
his
thought
,
how
to
auoid
the
death
that
growes
inward
.
From
the
rich
to
the
poore
(
in
euery
street
in
London
)
there
is
Ambition
,
or
swelling
aboue
their
states
:
the
rich
Cittizen
swels
against
the
pride
of
the
prodigall
Courtier
;
the
prodigal
Courtier
swels
against
the
welth
of
the
Cittizen
.
One
Company
swells
against
another
,
and
seeks
to
intercept
the
gaine
of
each
other
:
nay
,
not
any
Company
but
is
deuided
in
it selfe
.
The
auncients
,
they
oppose
themselues
against
the
younger
&
suppress
them
and
keepe
them
downe
all
that
they
may
.
The
young
men
,
they
cal
them
dotards
,
and
swel
&
rage
,
and
with
many
othes
sweare
on
the
other
side
,
they
will
not
bekept
vnder
by
such
cullions
,
but
goe
good
and
neere
to
out-shoulder
them
.
Amongst
their
Wiues
is
like
warre
.
Well
did
Aristotle
in
the
second
of
Phisickes
,
call
sinnes
Monsters
of
nature
,
for
as
there
is
no
Monster
ordinarily
reputed
,
but
in
a
swelling
or
excesse
of
forme
,
so
is
there
no
sinne
but
is
a
swelling
or
rebelling
against
God
.
Sinne
(
sayth
Augustine
)
is
either
thought
,
word
or
deed
,
opposite
to
the
eternall
will
of
God
.
Then
if
all
sinnes
be
opposing
themselues
against
God
,
surely
ambition
(
which
is
part
of
the
diuels
sin
)
cannot
but
be
the
cherrishing
of
open
enmitie
against
God
:
and
so
immediate
I
conclude
,
that
so
many
ambitious
men
as
are
amongst
vs
,
so
many
open
enemies
God
hath
.
Ambition
is
any
puft-vp
greedy
humour
of
honor
or
preferment
.
No
puffing
or
swelling
vp
in
any
mans
body
but
is
a
sore
,
when
the
soule
doth
swell
with
ambition
,
both
soule
and
body
(
without
timely
phisicke
of
repentance
)
will
smart
full
sore
for
it
.
Humilitie
was
so
hard
a
vertue
to
beate
into
our
heads
,
that
Christ
purposely
came
downe
from
heauen
in
his
owne
person
to
teach
it
vs
,
and
continued
thirty
yeers
together
,
nothing
but
preaching
and
practising
it
here
vpon
earth
.
The
foolish
things
of
the
world
,
(
saith
Paul
)
God
chooseth
,
and
not
the
hauty
or
ambitious
in
conceite
.
God
might
In
worldly
policy
he
vsed
a
foolish
course
to
win
credite
to
his
doctrine
:
but
foolish
is
the
worldly
policy
,
that
onely
from
the
diuell
borrowes
his
instance
.
Christ
chose
them
,
whom
the
diuell
scorned
to
looke
so
lowe
as
to
tempt
,
in
whose
harts
he
had
not
yet
laid
one
stone
of
his
building
.
They
were
the
onely
fit
men
to
receiue
the
impression
of
his
Spirit
.
Whether
it
bee
a
blessing
or
no
,
giuen
to
all
Fisher-men
(
for
the
Apostles
sakes
)
I
know
not
,
but
surely
there
is
no
one
trade
(
in
their
vocation
)
liues
so
faithfully
&
painfully
as
Fishermen
,
that
in
their
apparell
or
diet
lesse
exceede
.
Hee
that
should
haue
told
the
diuell
.
Christ
would
cast
his
nets
amongst
Fisher-men
,
he
would
haue
laught
him
out
of
his
coate
for
a
cockscombe
.
What
reason
,
what
likelihood
was
there
,
was
he
borne
in
a
Fisher-towne
?
was
he
allied
either
by
the
Father
or
the
Mother
to
Fisher-men
,
Nay
,
how
should
he
come
almost
in
all
his
life
to
heare
of
a
Fisher-man
?
Tush
,
tush
,
hee
will
be
altogether
in
the
Temple
amongst
the
Doctors
,
the
High-priests
and
the
Elders
:
them
will
I
ply
,
and
way-lay
against
him
.
To
their
vnbeliefe
I
will
lend
arguments
.
They
haue
the
seedes
of
ambition
rooted
in
their
hearts
already
.
I
wil
put
in
their
heads
,
that
he
commeth
to
destroy
their
Law
and
their
Temple
,
and
turne
them
all
out
of
their
stately
chaires
of
authority
:
and
this
(
I
thinke
)
wil
tickle
them
thorowly
against
him
.
Simple
diuell
,
Christ
deceiued
thee
,
and
only
in
this
he
deceiued
thee
,
that
thou
imaginedst
his
pride
&
ambition
to
be
like
thine
,
and
neuer
lookst
for
him
amongst
Netmenders
.
I
dare
sweare
for
thee
,
thou
wouldst
haue
sooner
sought
for
him
amongst
Carpenters
.
But
when
thou
foundst
how
thou
wert
ouer-reacht
,
I
thinke
thou
rann'st
to
them
(
from
one
to
another
)
with
cap
in
hand
,
to
request
them
to
betray
him
.
And
euery
one
shak't
thee
off
churlishly
but
Iudas
,
and
on
him
hadst
thou
not
had
power
,
but
that
he
carried
the
purse
.
It
is
a
hard
thing
for
him
that
carries
the
purse
,
(
that
hath
money
and
golde
at
commaund
)
not
to
be
mou'd
with
ambition
.
Peter
,
Iames
and
Iohn
,
had
you
beene
any
thing
but
beggerly
Fisher-men
,
and
that
you
had
euer
liu'd
but
a
hungerd
and
colde
by
the
Sea-side
,
or
once
come
into
the
great
Townes
where
Ambition
sits
in
her
Maiestie
,
and
bewitcheth
all
eyes
,
(
before
Christ
met
with
you
,
)
the
diuell
had
caught
hold
of
you
.
For
your
sakes
all
other
of
your
profession
shall
fare
the
worse
.
Beware
Fisher-men
,
the
diuell
owes
you
an
old
grudge
,
hee
takes
you
for
daungerous
men
.
Till
your
predecessors
the
Apostles
so
went
beyond
him
,
he
neuer
suspected
you
,
he
neuer
tempted
you
:
now
hee
will
sooner
tempt
you
,
and
be
more
busie
about
you
then
Kings
and
Emperours
.
Those
that
will
shunne
Ambition
,
(
for
which
the
wrath
of
God
hangeth
heauy
ouer
this
our
Cittie
,
)
must
with-drawe
their
eyes
from
vanities
,
haue
something
still
to
put
them
in
minde
where
of
they
are
made
,
and
whether
they
must
.
My
young
nouice
(
what
euer
thou
be
)
not
yet
crept
out
of
the
shell
,
I
say
vnto
thee
as
the
Prophet
sayd
to
the
King
of
Israell
,
Caue
ne
eas
in
locum
illum
,
nam
ibi
insidiae
sunt
:
Beware
thou
comest
not
in
that
place
,
for
there
thou
art
beset
;
So
beware
thou
comest
not
to
the
Court
,
or
to
London
,
for
there
thou
shalt
be
beset
.
Beset
with
ambition
,
beset
with
vanitie
,
beset
with
all
the
sinnes
that
may
be
.
The
way
to
know
Ambition
when
it
inuades
thee
,
is
to
obserue
and
watch
thy selfe
when
thou
first
fallest
into
a
selfe-loue
:
if
selfe-loue
hath
seazed
on
thee
,
shee
will
stand
on
no
meane
tearmes
,
nor
be
content
to
liue
as
a
common
drudge
.
None
(
in
any
case
)
must
stand
in
her
light
,
the
Sun
must
shine
on
none
but
her
.
Whatsoeuer
a
man
naturally
desires
,
is
Ambition
.
Quod
habere
non
vis
est
valde
bonum
,
quod
esse
non
vis
hoc
est
bonum
.
There
is
nothing
is
not
Ambition
,
but
that
which
a
man
would
not
haue
,
or
would
not
be
.
Hauing
foode
and
clothing
,
(
as
Paul
willeth
let
vs
be
content
:
what
more
we
require
to
content
,
is
Ambition
.
What
more
then
the
contented
blessed
state
of
an
Angell
the
diuell
gap't
after
,
was
that
which
cast
him
out
of
Heauen
.
Wee
are
sent
in
warfare
into
this
world
,
to
beare
armes
and
sight
it
out
with
the
diuels
chiefe
Basso
,
Ambition
.
Vnder
Christs
standard
we
march
,
hee
is
our
Leader
,
small
is
his
Armie
,
and
but
a
handfull
in
comparison
of
the
others
:
his
outwarde
pompe
simple
,
his
prouision
(
in
sight
)
slender
or
none
at
all
.
If
vpon
these
cousiderations
(
as
distrusting
his
prouidence
,
)
we
shall
grow
in
mislike
with
him
,
and
reuolt
to
Ambition
his
enemy
,
and
betray
him
,
shal
we
euer
look
him
in
the
face
more
,
or
will
he
euer
after
acknowledge
vs
?
O
no
,
not
only
he
shall
forsake
vs
,
but
that
rich
brauing
Basso
,
Ambition
:
(
like
a
wise
Prince
that
will
trust
no
Traytours
.
)
As
soone
as
euer
they
are
come
neere
him
,
downe
the
hill
they
climbed
vp
to
him
,
shall
hee
headlong
reuerse
them
.
Euen
in
this
dilatement
against
Ambition
,
the
diuel
seekes
to
set
in
a
foote
of
affected
applause
,
and
popular
fames
Ambition
in
my
stile
,
so
as
he
incited
a
number
of
Philosophers
(
in
times
past
,
)
to
prosecute
their
ambition
of
glory
,
in
writing
of
glories
contemptiblenesse
.
I
resist
it
and
abhorre
it
,
if
any
thing
be
here
penned
that
may
pierce
or
profite
,
heauenly
Christ
(
not
I
)
haue
the
praise
.
London
looke
to
Ambition
,
or
it
will
lay
thee
desolate
like
Ierusalem
.
Onely
the
ambitious
shaking
off
the
yoke
of
the
Romans
,
was
the
bane
of
Ierusalem
.
The
dust
in
the
streets
(
being
come
of
the
same
house
that
we
are
of
,
and
seeing
vs
so
proud
and
ambitious
,
)
thinks
with
her selfe
,
why
should
not
she
,
that
is
discended
as
well
as
we
,
raise
vp
her
plumes
as
wee
doe
.
And
that
s
the
reason
shee
borrowes
the
winges
of
the
wind
so
oft
to
mount
into
the
ayre
:
and
many
times
she
dasheth
her selfe
in
our
eyes
,
as
who
would
say
,
Are
you
my
Kinsmen
and
will
not
know
me
?
O
what
is
it
to
bee
Ambitious
,
when
the
dust
of
the
streete
(
when
it
pleaseth
her
)
can
be
Ambitious
.
The
Iewes
euer
when
they
mourned
,
rent
their
garments
,
as
it
were
to
take
reuenge
on
them
for
making
them
proude
and
Ambitious
,
and
keeping
them
all
the
while
from
the
sight
of
their
nakednesse
.
Then
they
put
on
Sack-cloth
,
and
that
Sack-cloth
they
sprinkled
ouer
with
dust
,
and
ouer-whelmed
with
ashes
,
to
put
God
in
mind
,
that
if
he
should
arm
his
displeasure
against
them
,
he
should
but
contend
with
dust
&
ashes
:
and
what
glory
or
prayse
could
they
afford
him
?
Shall
the
dust
praise
thee
(
sayth
Dauid
)
or
those
that
goe
downe
to
the
pit
glorifie
thee
?
Besides
,
it
signified
,
that
whereas
they
had
lifted
themselues
aboue
their
creation
,
and
forgot
by
whom
and
of
what
they
were
made
,
now
they
repented
and
returned
to
their
first
image
;
In
al
prostrate
humility
they
confest
,
that
the
breath
of
the
Lord
,
(
as
easie
as
the
wind
disperseth
dust
)
might
disperse
them
,
and
bring
them
to
nothing
.
Did
Ambition
afford
vs
any
content
,
or
were
it
ought
but
a
desire
of
disquiet
,
it
were
some-what
.
O
Augustine
,
now
I
call
to
minde
the
tale
of
thy
conuersion
,
in
the
sixt
Chapter
of
thy
sixt
booke
of
Confessions
,
where
describing
thy selfe
to
be
a
young
man
,
puft
vp
with
the
Ambition
of
that
time
,
thou
wert
chosen
to
make
an
Oration
before
the
Emperour
,
in
which
,
(
hauing
toyled
thy
wirs
to
their
highest
wrest
,
)
thou
thought'st
to
haue
purchast
Heauen
and
immortality
.
Comming
to
pronounce
it
,
thy
tongue
(
like
Orpheus
strings
)
drewe
all
eares
vnto
it
:
the
Emperour
thou
exceedingly
pleasedst
,
because
thou
exceedingly
&
hyperbolically
praisedst
.
Admiration
encompast
thee
,
&
commendation
stro●…e
to
be
as
eloquent
as
thou
in
thy
commendation
.
But
what
was
all
this
to
the
purpose
,
the
Bladder
was
burst
that
had
so
long
swelled
,
winde
thou
spents
,
and
nought
but
winde
thou
gainedst
.
For
good
words
,
good
words
were
returned
thee
:
like
one
that
gaue
Augustus
Greeke
verses
,
and
he
for
his
reward
gaue
him
Greeke
verses
againe
.
The
heauen
thou
dreamedst
of
,
being
attained
,
seemed
so
inferior
to
thy
hopes
,
that
it
cast
thee
headlong
into
hell
;
Home
againe
(
in
a
melancholy
)
with
thy
companions
thou
returnedst
,
where
by
the
way
in
a
greene
Meddow
,
thou
espiedst
a
poore
drunken
Begger
(
his
belly
being
full
)
heighing
,
leaping
and
dauncing
,
fetching
strange
youthfull
friskes
,
and
taking
care
for
nothing
.
With
that
thousighedst
,
and
entredst
into
this
discourse
with
thy
companions
.
O
what
is
Ambition
,
that
it
should
not
yeeld
so
much
content
as
beggery
?
Miserable
is
that
life
where
none
is
happy
but
the
miserable
.
Trauel
&
care
for
welth
,
riches
and
honor
,
is
but
care
&
trauel
for
trauel
and
care
.
Mad
and
foolish
are
wee
,
who
watch
and
study
how
to
vexe
our selues
,
and
in
hunting
after
a
vaine
shadow
of
felicity
,
hunt
and
start
vp
more
and
more
causes
of
perplexity
.
This
Begger
hath
not
burnt
candles
al
night
a
month
together
as
I
haue
done
,
he
hath
made
no
Oration
to
the
Emperor
to
day
,
and
yet
hee
is
merry
:
I
that
haue
poor'd
out
mine
eies
vpon
books
,
and
wel-ny
spit
out
all
my
brain
at
my
tongues
end
this
morning
,
am
dumpish
,
drousy
,
and
wish
my self
dead
:
and
yet
if
any
man
should
ask
me
if
I
would
willingly
die
,
or
exchange
my
state
with
the
Begger
,
I
feare
I
shold
hardly
condiscend
.
Such
is
my
ambition
,
such
is
my
foolish
delight
in
my
vnrest
.
Hee
hauing
but
a
little
money
,
and
a
few
dung-hill
rags
clouted
together
on
his
backe
,
hath
true
content
,
I
(
with
my
grieuous
heart-breakings
and
painfull
complots
,
)
haue
laid
to
ouer-take
it
,
and
canno●…
.
Hee
is
iocund
,
I
am
ioylesse
:
hee
secure
,
I
fearefull
.
There
is
no
learning
or
Arte
leading
to
true
felicity
,
but
the
Arte
of
beggery
.
Vngratefull
knowledge
,
that
for
all
the
bodywasting
industry
I
haue
vsed
in
thy
compasment
,
hast
not
blest
me
so
much
as
this
Begger
.
I
hauing
thee
,
hee
wanting
thee
,
is
preferred
in
harts-ease
before
mee
.
No
delight
or
hearts-ease
receiued
I
from
thee
,
for
I
haue
spoke
not
to
teach
,
but
to
please
.
Vild
double-fac't
Oratory
,
that
art
good
for
nothing
but
to
fatten
sinne
with
thy
flattery
,
that
callest
it
giuing
immortality
,
when
thou
magnifiest
vices
for
vertues
,
and
challengest
great
deserts
of
Kings
and
nobility
for
dissembling
:
heere
I
renounce
thee
as
the
Parasite
of
Arts
,
the
whorish
painter
of
imperfections
,
and
onely
Patronesse
of
sinne
.
To
this
scope
(
reuerend
Augustine
)
tended
thy
plaintiue
speech
,
though
I
haue
not
exprest
it
in
the
same
words
:
but
the
operation
in
thee
it
brought
forth
,
was
that
from
the
meditation
of
beggerly
content
,
thou
wadedst
(
by
degrees
)
into
the
depth
of
the
true
heauenly
content
.
O
singular
worke
contriued
by
weake
meanes
.
O
rarely
honoured
beggery
,
to
be
the
instrument
of
recalling
so
rich
a
soule
.
O
faithlesse
and
peruerse
generation
,
(
saith
Christ
vnto
vs
as
hee
said
to
the
Iewes
,
)
how
There
is
a
place
in
the
I
le
of
Paphos
where
there
neuer
fell
raine
:
there
is
a
place
within
you
called
your
hearts
,
where
no
drops
of
the
dewe
of
grace
can
haue
accesse
;
Your
daies
are
as
swift
as
a
Post
,
yea
swifter
then
a
Weauers
shuttle
,
they
fly
and
see
no
good
thing
:
yet
flie
you
swifter
to
hell
then
they
.
Veniunt
anni
vt
eant
,
(
sayth
Austine
)
non
veniunt
vt
stant
,
yeers
come
that
they
may
trauell
on
,
and
not
stand
still
:
passing
by
vs
they
spoile
vs
,
and
lay
vs
open
to
the
tiranny
of
a
cruell
enemy
,
Death
.
O
if
we
loue
so
this
miserable
and
finite
life
,
how
ought
we
to
loue
that
celestial
and
infinite
life
,
where
we
shall
enioy
all
pleasures
so
plentifull
,
that
Ambition
shal
haue
nothing
ouer-plus
to
worke
on
.
Here
we
labour
,
drudge
and
moyle
,
yet
for
all
our
labouring
,
drudging
and
moyling
,
cannot
number
the
things
we
lacke
.
Wee
are
neuer
long
at
ease
,
but
some
crosse
or
other
afflicteth
vs
.
As
the
earth
is
compassed
round
with
waters
,
so
are
we
(
the
inhabitants
thereof
)
compassed
round
with
woes
.
Wee
see
great
men
die
,
strong
men
die
,
witty
men
die
,
fooles
die
,
rich
Merchants
,
poore
Artificers
,
Plowmen
,
Gentlemen
,
high
men
,
low
men
,
wearish
men
,
grosse
men
,
and
the
fairest
complexiond
men
die
,
yet
we
perswade
our selues
wee
shall
neuer
die
.
Or
if
we
do
not
so
perswade
our selues
,
why
prepare
we
not
to
dy
?
Why
doo
we
raigne
as
Gods
on
the
earth
that
are
to
be
eaten
with
wormes
?
Should
a
man
with
Zerxes
,
but
enter
into
this
conceite
with
himselfe
,
that
as
he
sees
one
old
man
caried
to
buriall
,
so
within
threescore
yeeres
,
not
one
of
all
our
glisteting
Courtiers
,
not
one
of
all
our
faire
Ladies
,
not
one
of
all
our
stout
Souldiers
and
Captaines
,
not
one
of
al
this
age
throughout
the
world
should
be
left
,
what
a
dampe
and
deadly
terror
would
it
strike
.
Temples
of
stone
and
Marble
decay
and
fall
downe
,
then
thinke
not
Ambition
to
out-face
death
,
that
art
but
a
Temple
of
flesh
.
Diues
died
and

,
Lazarus
died

,
brasen-fore-head
Ambition
,
thou

thou

Alas

what

are
we
,
wee
will
take
vp
a
humour
of
Ambition
which
we
are
not
able
to
vphold
,
and
know
assuredly
(
ere
many
yeeres
)
we
must
be
throwne
downe
from
:
yet
come
what
will
,
(
at
all
auentures
)
we
will
go
thorowe
with
it
;
Wee
will
be
Gods
and
Monarchs
in
our
life
,
though
we
be
diuels
after
death
.
Ouer
and
ouer
I
repeat
it
double
and
treble
,
that
the
spirit
of
monarchizing
in
priuate
men
,
is
the
spirit
of
Lucifer
.
Christ
said
to
his
Disciples
,
Hee
that
will
be
greatest
amongst
you
,
shal
be
the
least
:
so
say
I
,
that
he
which
will
be
the
greatest
in
any
state
,
or
seeketh
to
make
his
posterity
greatest
,
shall
be
the
least
;
The
least
accounted
of
,
the
least
reuerenced
,
(
for
none
that
is
getting
ambitious
,
but
is
generally
hated
.
)
His
posterity
(
though
he
establish
them
neuer
so
)
shall
not
hold
out
.
Fooles
shal
squander
,
in
an
houre
,
all
the
auarice
of
their
ambitious
wise
Auncesters
.
Ambition
,
on
the
sands
thou
buildst
,
regard
thy
soule
more
then
thy
sons
&
daughters
:
let
poore
men
gleane
after
thy
Cart
,
cast
thy
bread
vpon
the
Waters
.
Thy
greedines
of
the
World
,
teacheth
the
diuell
to
be
greedie
of
thy
soule
.
He
accuseth
his
spirits
and
vpbraideth
them
of
sloth
by
thee
,
saying
:
Mortall
men
in
these
and
these
many
yeeres
,
can
heape
together
so
manie
thousands
,
and
what
is
it
that
they
haue
a
minde
to
,
which
they
get
not
into
their
hands
:
but
you
Drones
and
Dormise
,
(
that
in
celerity
&
quicknes
shold
out-start
them
,
)
ly
sleeping
&
stretching
your selues
by
the
harth
of
hel-fire
,
and
haue
no
care
to
looke
about
for
the
encrease
of
our
Kingdome
.
Heauen
gate
is
no
bigger
then
the
eye
of
a
needle
,
yet
ambitious
worldly
men
(
hauing
their
backs
like
a
Cammels
,
bunched
with
cares
,
and
betrapped
with
bribes
and
oppressions
,
)
thinke
to
enter
in
at
it
.
Ambition
,
Ambition
harken
to
me
,
there
will
bee
a
blacke
day
when
thy
Ambition
shall
breake
his
necke
,
when
thou
shalt
lie
in
thy
bed
as
on
a
Racke
,
stretching
out
thy
ioints
:
when
thine
eyes
shall
start
out
of
thy
head
,
and
euery
part
of
thee
be
wrung
as
with
the
wind-chollick
.
In
midst
of
thy
fury
and
maladie
,
when
thou
shalt
laugh
and
trifle
,
folter
with
thy
tongue
,
rattle
in
thy
throat
,
be
busie
in
folding
and
doubling
the
clothes
,
and
seratching
and
catching
whatsoeuer
comes
neere
thee
:
then
(
as
the
possessed
with
the
Calentura
,
)
thou
shalt
offer
to
leape
,
and
cast
thy selfe
out
of
the
top
of
thine
house
,
thou
shalt
burst
thy
bowels
and
crack
thy
cheeks
in
striuing
to
keepe
in
thy
soule
;
When
thou
shouldst
look
vp
to
Heauen
,
thou
shalt
be
ouer-looking
thy
Wil
,
and
altering
some
clause
of
it
,
when
thou
shouldst
bee
commending
thy
spirit
.
In
thy
life
hast
thou
sought
more
then
what
is
needful
,
therfore
at
thy
death
shalt
thou
neglect
that
is
needfull
.
Ambition
,
(
like
Ierusalem
)
thou
knowest
not
the
time
of
thy
visitation
:
for
thou
hast
sought
in
this
world
to
gather
great
promotions
vnto
thee
,
and
not
gather
thy selfe
vnder
Christs
wing
,
Thy
house
shal
be
lest
desolate
vnto
thee
.
A
speciall
branch
of
this
Ambition
is
Auarice
,
as
riches
or
couetise
there
is
nothing
that
so
engenders
Ambition
.
Euery
Tree
,
euery
Apple
,
euery
Graine
,
euery
Hearbe
,
euery
Fruite
,
euery
Weede
hath
his
seuerall
worme
:
the
worme
of
wealth
is
Ambition
,
the
spurre
to
Ambition
is
wealth
.
Ambitions
self
we
haue
displaid
sufficiently
,
his
supporter
we
will
now
call
in
question
.
Dificile
est
,
(
saith
an
auncient
Father
)
vt
non

:
It
is
a
very
difficult
thing
for
him
not
to
be
proud
or
ambitious
that
is
rich
,
take
away
his
ambition
,
his
riches
neuer
hurt
him
.
Riches
haue
hurt
a
great
number
in
England
,
who
if
their
riches
had
not
beene
,
had
still
been
men
and
not
Ti●…nists
.
Riches
as
they
haue
renowned
,
so
they
haue
reproched
London
.
It
is
now
growne
a
Prouerbe
,
That
there
is
no
merchandize
but
vsury
.
I
dare
not
affirme
it
,
but
questionlesse
,
Vsury
crieth
to
the
children
of
Prodigality
in
the
strects
:
All

God
in

God
in
his
mercy
rid
them
all
out
of
London
,
and
then
it
were

hoped
the

would
cease

Woe

The

Moe
Gentlemen
by
their

and

haue
they
driuen
to
desperate
courses
,
and
so
consequently
made
away
and
murdered
,
then

,
the
Low-countries
,
or
any
forreine
siege
or
Sea-voyage

40.
yeers
.
Tell
me
(
almost
)
what
Gentleman
hath
been
cast
away
at
Sea
,
or
disasterly
souldiouriz'd
it
by
Land
,
but
they
haue
enforst
him
thereunto
by
their
fleeeing
.
What
is
left
for
a
man
to
do
,
being
consumed
to
the
bare
bones
by
these
greedy
Horseleaches
,
and
not
hauing
so
much
reserued
as
would
buy
him
bread
,
but
either
to
hang
at
Tiborne
,
or
pillage
and
reprizall
where
he
may
.
Huge
numbers
in
their
stinking
Prisons
they
haue
starued
,
and
made
Dice
of
their
bones
,
for
the
diuell
to
throw
at
dice
for
their
owne
soules
.
This
is
the
course
now
a
dayes
euery
one
taketh
to
bee
rich
:
being
a
young
Trader
,
and
hauing
of
olde
Mumpsimus
(
his
auaritious
Maister
)
learned
to
bee
his
Crafts-maister
,
for
a
yeere
or
two
he
is
very
thrifty
,
and
husbandly
he
paies
&
takes
as
duly
as
the
clock
strikes
,
he
seemeth
very
sober
and
precise
and
bringeth
all
men
in
loue
with
him
.
When
he
thinketh
he
hath
thorowly
wrung
himselfe
into
the
Worlds
good
opinion
,
and
that
his
credite
is
as
much
as
he
will
demaund
,
hee
goes
and
tries
it
,
and
on
the
Tenter-hookes
stretches
it
.
No
man
he
knoweth
but
he
will
scrape
a
little
Booke
curtesie
of
,
two
or
three
thousand
pound
(
perhaps
)
makes
vp
his
mouth
.
When
he
hath
it
all
in
his
hands
,
for
a
moneth
or
two
he
reuels
it
,
and
cuts
it
out
in
the
whole
cloath
.
Hee
falls
acquainted
with
Gentlemen
,
frequents
Ordinaries
and
Dicing-houses
dayly
,
where
when
some
of
them
(
in
play
)
haue
lost
all
their
mony
,
he
is
very
diligent
at
hand
,
on
their
Chaines
,
or
Bracelets
,
or
Iewels
,
to
lend
them
halfe
the
value
:
Now
this
is
the
nature
of
young
Gentlemen
,
that
where
they
haue
broke
the
Ise
and
borrowed
once
,
they
will
come
againe
the
second
time
;
and
that
these
young
foxes
knowe
,
as
well
as
the
Begger
knowes
his
dish
.
But
at
the
second
time
of
their
comming
,
it
is
doubtfull
to
say
whether
they
shall
haue
money
or
no.
The
world
growes
hard
,
and
wee
all
are
mortal
,
let
them
make
him
any
assurance
before
a
Iudge
,
and
they
shal
haue
som
hundred
pounds
(
per
consequence
)
in
Silks
and
Veluets
.
The
third
time
if
they
come
,
they
shall
haue
baser
commodities
:
the
fourth
time
Lute
strings
and
gray
Paper
;
And
then
I
pray
pardon
mee
,
I
am
not
for
you
,
pay
me
that
you
owe
mee
and
you
shal
haue
any
thing
.
When
thus
this
young
Vsurer
hath
thrust
all
his
pedlary
into
the
hands
of
nouice
heyres
,
and
that
hee
hath
made
of
his
3.
thousand
,
nine
thousand
in
Bonds
and
Recognisances
,
(
besides
the
strong
faith
of
the
forfeitures
)
he
breakes
,
and
cries
out
amongst
his
neighbors
,
that
he
is
vndone
by
trusting
Gentlemen
;
his
kind
heart
hath
made
him
a
begger
:
and
warnes
all
men
(
by
his
example
)
to
beware
how
they
haue
any
dealings
with
them
.
For
a
quarter
of
a
yeere
or
thereabouts
,
he
slips
his
neck
out
of
the
coller
,
and
sets
some
graue
man
of
his
kindred
,
(
as
his
Father-inlaw
or
such
like
,
)
to
goe
and
report
his
lamentable
mischaunce
to
his
Creditors
,
and
what
his
honest
care
is
to
pay
euery
man
his
owne
as
farre
as
he
is
able
.
His
Creditors
(
thinking
all
is
Gospel
he
speaks
,
and
that
his
state
is
lower
ebbed
then
it
is
,
)
are
glad
to
take
any
thing
for
their
owne
:
so
that
wheras
three
thousand
pound
is
due
,
in
his
absence
al
is
satis-fied
for
eight
hundred
,
(
his
Father-inlaw
making
them
belieue
he
laies
it
out
of
his
owne
purse
.
)
All
matters
thus
vnder-hand
discharged
,
my
young
Merchant
returnes
,
and
sets
vp
fresher
then
euer
he
did
.
Those
Bonds
and
Statutes
he
hath
,
hee
puts
in
sute
amaine
.
For
a
hundred
pound
commodity
,
(
which
is
not
forty
poand
money
,
)
he
recouers
by
relapse
,
some
hundred
pound
a
yeere
.
In
three
Tearmes
,
of
a
banqrout
he
wexeth
a
great
landed
man
,
and
may
compare
with
the
best
of
his
Company
.
O
intollerable
Vsury
not
the
Iews
(
whose
peculiar
sinne
it
is
,
)
haue
euer
committed
the
like
.
What
I
write
is
most
true
,
and
hath
beene
practised
by
more
then
one
or
two
.
I
haue
a
whole
Booke
of
young
Gentlemens
cases
lying
by
me
,
which
if
I
should
set
foorth
,
some
graue
Auntients
(
within
the
hearing
of
Bow-bell
)
would
bee
out
of
charity
with
me
.
How
euer
I
flie
from
particularities
,
this
I
will
proue
,
that
neuer
in
any
Citty
(
since
the
first
assembly
of
societies
)
was
euer
suffered
such
notorious
cosonage
and
villany
,
as
is
shrouded
vnder
this
seauentie-fold
vsury
of
commodities
.
It
is
a
hundred
parts
more
hatefull
then
Conny-catching
:
it
is
the
Nurse
of
sinnes
,
without
the
which
,
the
fire
of
them
all
would
be
extinguisht
,
and
want
matter
to
feed
on
.
Poets
talke
of
enticing
Syrens
in
the
Sea
,
that
on
a
sunny-day
lay
forth
their
golden
trammels
,
their
Iuory
necks
,
and
their
siluer
breasts
to
entice
men
,
sing
sweetly
,
glance
piercingly
,
play
on
Lutes
rauishingly
;
but
I
say
,
There
is
no
such
Syrens
by
Sea
as
by
Land
,
nor
women
as
men
:
those
are
the
Syrens
,
that
hang
out
their
shining
Silkes
and
Veluets
,
and
dazle
Prides
eyes
with
their
deceitfull
haberdashry
.
They
are
like
the
Serpent
that
tempted
Adam
in
Paradise
,
who
wheras
God
stinted
him
,
what
trees
and
fruites
he
should
eate
on
,
and
goe
no
further
,
he
entic'd
him
to
breake
the
bondes
of
that
stint
,
and
put
into
his
head
what
a
number
of
excellent
pleasures
he
should
reape
thereby
;
So
wheras
carefull
Fathers
send
their
children
to
this
Citty
,
in
all
gentleman-like
qualities
to
bee
trained
vp
,
and
stint
them
to
a
moderate
allowance
,
sufficient
(
indifferently
husbanded
)
to
maintaine
their
credite
euery
way
,
and
profit
them
in
that
they
are
sent
hither
for
:
what
doo
our
couetous
Cittie
blood-suckers
,
but
hire
Pandars
,
and
professed
parasiticall
Epicures
,
to
close
in
with
them
,
and
(
like
the
Serpent
)
to
alienate
them
from
that
ciuill
course
wherein
they
were
setled
.
T
is
ryot
and
misgouernment
,
that
must
deliuer
them
ower
into
their
hands
to
be
deuoured
.
Those
that
here
place
their
children
to
learne
witte
,
and
see
the
world
,
are
like
those
that
in
Affrick
present
their
children
(
when
they
are
first
borne
)
before
Serpents
:
which
if
the
children
(
they
so
present
)
with
their
very
sight
scare
away
the
Serpents
,
then
are
they
legittimate
,
otherwise
they
are
Bastards
.
A
number
of
poore
chyldren
&
sucklings
(
in
comparison
)
are
in
the
Court
,
and
Innes
of
Court
,
presented
to
these
Serpents
,
and
stinging
Extortioners
of
London
,
who
neuer
flye
from
them
,
but
with
their
tayle
winde
them
in
,
and
sucke
out
their
soules
without
scarring
their
skinne
.
Whether
they
be
legittimate
or
no
,
that
are
so
exposed
to
these
Serpents
,
I
dare
not
determine
,
for
feare
of
enuie
;
But
sure
legitimately
(
or
as
they
shold
)
they
are
not
brought
vp
,
that
are
manumited
from
their
parents
awe
,
as
soone
as
they
can
goe
and
speake
.
Zeuxes
hauing
artificially
yainted
a
Boy
carrying
Grapes
in
a
Hand-basket
,
and
seeing
the
Birds
(
as
they
had
beene
true
Grapes
)
come
in
flocks
&
pecke
at
them
;
was
wonderfully
angry
with
him-selfe
and
his
Arte
,
saying
:
Had
I
painted
the
Boy
(
which
was
the
chiefe
part
of
my
picture
)
as
well
as
I
haue
doe
the
grapes
,
(
which
were
but
a
by
accident
belonging
to
it
,
)
the
Birds
durst
neuer
haue
beene
so
bold
;
So
if
Fathers
would
haue
but
as
much
care
,
to
paint
and
forme
the
manners
of
their
children
,
(
when
they
come
to
mans
estate
)
as
they
haue
well
to
proportion
out
triflles
,
(
to
instruct
and
educare
them
in
their
triuiall
infent
yeares
,
)
sure
these
rauenous
Byrdes
,
(
such
as
Brokers
and
Vsurers
)
would
neuer
flye
to
them
,
and
pecke
at
them
as
they
doe
.
O
Country
Gentlemen
,
I
wonder
you
doe
not
lay
your
heads
together
and
put
vp
a
generall
supplication
to
the
Parliament
,
against
those
priuy
Canker
wormes
&
Catterpillers
.
Which
of
you
all
but
(
amongst
them
)
hath

they

As

Augustine
in
the
fourth
Chapter
of
his
second
Booke
of
Confessions
,
pittifully
complaineth
how
heynously
he
had
offended
when
he
was
a
young
man
,
in
leading
his
companions
to
rob
a
Peare-tree
in
their
next
neighbours
Orchard
:
Amaui
perire
O
Domine
,
(
he
exclaimes
)
amaui
perire
,
amaui
defectum
turpis
animae
et
desiliens
a
Firmamento
:
malitie
me
caeusa
nulla
esset
nifimalitia
:
I
loued
to
perish
(
O
Lord
,
)
I
loued
to
perrish
,
in
my
vngratiousnesse
I
delighted
(
foule
of
soule
that
I
was
)
and
quite
slyding
from
the
Firmament
:
of
my
malice
there
was
no
cause
but
malice
.
Of
the
stealing
and
beating
downe
of
a
few
Peares
,
this
holy
Father
makes
such
a
burdenous
matter
of
conscience
,
as
that
he
counted
it
his
vtter
perrishing
and
back-slyding
from
the
Firmament
:
Vsurers
make
no
conscience
of
cosoning
and
robbing
men
of
whole
Orchards
,
of
whole
fields
,
of
whole
Lordships
;
Of
their
malice
and
theft
,
there
is
some
other
cause
then
malice
,
which
is
Auarice
.
If
the
stealing
of
one
Apple
in
Paradise
,
brought
such
an
vniuersall
plague
to
the
world
,
what
a
plague
to
one
soule
will
the
robbing
of
a
hundred
Orphans
of
their
possessions
and
fruite-yards
bring
?
In
the
Country
the
Gentleman
takes
in
the
Commons
,
racketh
his
Tennaunts
,
vndoeth
the
Farmer
.
In
London
the
Vsurer
snatcheth
vp
the
Gentleman
,
giues
him
Rattles
and
Babies
for
his
ouer-rackt
rent
,
and
the
Commons
he
tooke
in
,
he
makes
him
take
out
in
commodities
.
None
but
the
Vsurer
is
ordained
for
a
scourge
to
Pride
and
Ambition
.
Therefore
it
is
that
Bees
hate
Sheepe
more
then
any
thing
,
for
that
when
they
are
once
in
their
wooll
,
they
are
so
intangled
that
they
can
neuer
get
out
.
Therfore
it
is
that
Courtiers
hate
Merchants
more
then
any
men
,
for
that
being
once
in
their
bookes
,
they
can
neuer
get
out
.
Many
of
them
carry
the
countenances
of
Sheep
,
looke
simple
,
goe
plain
,
were
their
haire
short
,
but
they
are
no
Sheep
,
but
Sheep-byters
:
their
wooll
or
their
wealth
,
they
make
no
othervse
of
but
to
snarle
and
enwrap
men
with
.
The
law
(
which
was
instituted
to
redresse
wrongs
and
oppressions
,
)
they
wrest
contrarily
,
to
oppresse
and
to
wrong
with
.
And
yet
that
s
not
so
much
wonder
,
for
Law
,
Logique
and
the
Swizers
,
may
be
hir'd
to
fight
for
any
body
;
and
so
may
an
Vsurer
(
for
a
halfepeny
gaine
)
bee
hyred
to
bite
any
body
.
For
as
the
Beare
cannot
drinke
but
he
must
byte
the
water
,
so
cannot
hee
coole
his
auaritious
thirst
,
but
hee
must
plucke
and
bite
out
his
Neighbours
throate
.
Bursa
Aua●…os

,
the
Vsurers
purse
is
Hell
mouth
.
Hee
hath
Hydropem
conscientiam
(
as
Augustine
sayth
,
)
a
dropsie
conscience
,
that
euer
drinkes
and
euer
is
dry
.
Like
the
Foxe
,
he
vseth
his
witte
and
his
teeth
together
,
he
neuer
smyles
but
he
seazeth
,
he
neuer
talkes
but
he
takes
aduantage
.
He
cryes
with
the
ill
Husbandman
,
(
to
whom
the
Vineyard
was
put
out
in
the
Gospell
,
)
This
is
the
heyre
,
come
let
vs
kil
him
,
and
we
shal
haue
his
inheritance
.
Other
men
are
sayd
to
goe
to
Hell
,
hee
shall
ryde
to
Hell
on
the
deuills
backe
,
(
as
it
is
in
the
old
Morrall
)
and
if
hee
did
not
ryde
,
hee
would
swim
thether
in
innocents
blood
whom
hee
hath
circumuented
.
No
men
so
much
as
Vsurers
,
coueteth
the
deuill
to
bee
great
with
;
He
is
called
Mammon
,
the
God
or
Prince
of
this
World
:
that
is
,
The
God
and
Prince
of
Vsurers
and
Penny-fathers
.
Nay
more
,
euery
Vsurer
of
himselfe
is
a
deuill
,
since
this
word
Daemon
,
signifieth
nought
but
Sypiens
,
a
subtile
worldly
Wise-man
.
When
a
Legion
of
deuils
(
in
the
Land
of
the
Gargisens
)
were
cast
forth
of
two
men
that
came
out
of
graues
,
they
desired
they
might
goe
into
hogs
or
swine
,
(
which
are
Vsurers
,
)
many
of
those
Hogges
or
Swine
,
they
tumbled
into
the
Sea
:
many
of
our
hoggish
Vsurers
the
deuill
tumbles
for
gaine
into
the
Sea
.
Vsurers
(
with
the
draffe
of
this
world
)
so
feede
and
fatten
the
deuils
,
that
now
they
almost
passe
not
of
possessing
any
man
else
.
The
Iewes
were
all
Hogges
,
that
is
,
Vsurers
,
and
therefore
if
there
had
beene
no
diuine
restraint
for
it
,
yet
nature
it selfe
would
haue
dissawded
them
from
eating
Swines-flesh
,
that
is
,
from
feeding
on
one
another
.
The
Prodigall-childe
in
the
Gospell
,
is
reported
to
haue
fed
Hogges
,
that
is
,
Vsurers
,
by
letting
them
beguile
him
of
his
substance
.
As
the
Hogge
is
still
grunting
,
digging
&
wrooting
in
the
mucke
,
so
is
the
Vsurer
still
turning
,
tossing
,
digging
,
and
wrooting
in
the
muck
of
this
world
;
like
the
Hog
he
carries
his
snoute
euer-more
down-ward
,
and
nere
looks
vp
to
Heauen
.
Christ
sayd
,
It
was
not
meete
the
childrens
bread
should
be
taken
from
them
and
giuen
vnto
dogges
,
no
more
is
it
meete
,
that
the
childrens
lyuing
and
substance
should
be
taken
from
them
and
giuen
vnto
Hogges
.
Paul
sayth
,
We
must
not
doe
euill
that
good
may
come
of
it
:
there
is
no
euill
which
a
hoggish
Vsurer
will
not
doe
,
so
that
goods
The
poore
haue
you
alwaies
with
you
:
for
they
will
make
all
poore
that
they
deale
with
.
Suchvnnaturall
Thy
house
shall
be
left
desolate
vnto
thee
.
The
cryes
of
the
fatherlesse
and
widdowe
,
shall
breake
of
the
Angels
Hosannas
and
Alleuiahs
,
and
plucke
the
sterne
of
the
world
out
of
Gods
hand
,
till
he
hath
acquited
them
.
Oppression
is
the
price
of
bloud
,
into
your
Treasuries
you
put
the
price
of
blood
,
which
the
Iewes
that
kild
Christ
feared
to
doe
.
You
hauing
many
flockes
of
sheepe
of
your

and
your
poore
Neighbour
but
one
sely
Lambe
,
(
which
he
nurst
in
his
owne
bosome
)
that
Lambe
haue
you
taken
away
from
him
,
and
spared
farre
better
Fatlings
of
your
owne

By
your
swearing
and
forswearing
in
bargayning
,
you
haue
confiscated
your
soules
long
agoe
.
There
is
no
religion
in
you
but
loue
of
mony
.
Any
doctrine
is
welcome
to
you
,
but
that
which
beates
on
good
workes
.
The
charity
and
duty
that
GOD
exacts
of
you
,
you
thinke
discharged
,
if
in
speech
you
neither
meddle
nor
make
with
him
:
the
charity
to
your
Neighbour
,
you
coniecture
onely
consisteth
in
bidding
good-euen
and
goodmorrowe
.
Beguile
not
your selues
,
for
as
there
is
no
Prince
,
but
will
haue
his
Lawes
as
well
not
broken
,
as
not
spoken
against
,
so
will
God
reuenge
himselfe
,
as
well
against
the
breakers
of
his
Lawes

as
against
those
that
speake

It

Much

Hold

you

Bring

A

then
he

My
Maisters
,
I
will
not

,
but
giue
you
counsaile
to

Vsurers
:
Put
out
your

to

to
the

heere
on

,
that
you
may
haue
it
a
hundred

repayd

As
it
is
in
the
Psalmes
,
A
good
man
is
mercifull
and
leandeth
,
he
giueth
,
he
disperseth
,
he
distributeth
to
the
poore

and
his
righteousnes
remaineth

So
that
wee
see

by
that
which
wee
giue
we
gaine
and
not
loose
,
and
yet
what
doe
wee
giue
,
but
that
wee
cannot
keepe
?
For
giuing
but
backe
againe
what
was
first

and
which
if
wee
should
not

,
Death

wee

that
can

With

we

Welth
many

With

(
I

is
the

yeares
followed

and
hath
better
then
three
parts
and
a
halfe
of
a
promise
to

yet
if
hee
haue
but
a
quarter
of
an
enemy
in

court
,
it
is
casheird

non-suted
.
God
will
not
be
corrupted
,
he
is
not
partiall
as
man
is
,
he
hath
no
Parasites
about
him
,
hee
seeth
with
his
owne
eyes
,
and
not
with
the
eyes
of
those
that
spake
for
bribes
.
Hee
is
not
angry
,
or
commands
vs
to
bee
driuen
backe
when
we
are
importunate
:
but
hee
commands
vs
to
bee
importunate
,
and
is
angry
if
we
be
not
importunate
.
In
the
Parable
of
the
godlesse
Iudge
and
the
importunate
Widdow
,
hee
teacheth
that
importunity
may
get
any
thing
of
him
.
So
in
the
similitude
of
the
man
that
came
to
his
friend
at
midnight
,
to
desire
him
to
lend
him
three
loaues
,
and
his
friend
aunswered
him
.
His
doore
was
shut
,
his
children
I
cryed
vnto
the
Lord
(
saith
Dauid
)
and
he
heard
me
:
Hee
did
not
coldly
,
bashfully
,
or
formally
onely
,
cry
to
the
Lord
,
as
not
caring
whether
hee
were
heard
or
no
,
but
hee
cryed
vnto
him
with
his
whole
hart
:
euen
to
the
Lord
he
cryed
,
and
he
heard
him
.
Ezekias
cryed
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
he
heard
him
.
The
blood
of
the
Saints
vnder
the
Altar
(
as
all
blood
)
is
sayd
to
cry
vnto
the
Lord
for
vengeance
.
Thy
brother
Abels
blood
hath
cried
vnto
me
,
sayd
God
to
Caine.
The
prayer
of
the
fatherless
Vsurers
,
you
are
none
of
these
cryers
vnto
God
,
but
those
that
hourely
vnto
God
are
most
cryde
out
against
.
God
hath
cryde
out
vnto
you
by
his
Preachers
,
GOD
hath
cride
out
vnto
you
by
the
poore
;
Prysoners
on
their
death-beds
haue
cride
out
of
you
:
and
when
they
haue
had
but
one
houre
to
intercessionate
for
their
soules
,
and
sue
out
the
pardon
of
their
numberlesse
sins
,
the
whole
part
of
that
howre
(
sauing
one
minute
,
when
in
two
words
they
cryde
for
mercy
,
)
haue
they
spent
,
in
crying
for
vengeance
against
you
.
After
they
were
dead
,
their
Coffins
haue
beene
brought
to
your
doores
in
the
open
face
of
Cheapside
,
and
ignominious
Ballads
made
of
you
,
which
euery
Boy
would
chaunt
vnder
your
nose
:
yet
will
not
you
repent
,
nor
with
all
this
crying
be
awaked
out
of
your
dreame
of
the
Diuell
and
Diues
.
Therefore
looke
that
when
on
your
death-beddes
you
shall
lye
,
and
crye
out
of
the
Stone
,
the
Strangullion
&
the
Gout
,
you
shall
not
be
heard
,
your
paine
shall
be
so
wrastling
,
tearing
,
and
intollerable
,
that
you
shall
haue
no
leisure
to
repent
or
pray
:
no
nor
so
much
as
lift
vppe
your
hands
,
or
think
one
good
thought
.
Euen
as
others
haue
curst
you
,
so
shall
you
be
ready
to
curse
God
,
&
desire
to
be
swallowed
quick
,
to
excorse
the
agony
you
are
in
.
As
the
deuill
in
the
second
of
Iob
,
being
asked
from
whence
he
came
,
answered
,
From
compassing
the
earth
,
so
you
being
askd
at
the
day
of
iudgement
,
from
whence
you
come
,
shall
answer
;
From
compassing
the
Earth
,
For
Heauen
you
haue
not
compast
or
purchast
,
therfore
shall
Hell-fire
be
your
portion
.
Euery
man
shall
receiue
of
God
according
to
that
in
his
body
he
hath
wrought
.
If
in
your
bodies
you
haue
done
no
good
works
,
of
God
you
shall
receiue
no
good
words
.
The
words
of
God
are
deedes
,
he
spake
but
the
word
,
and
Heauen
&
Earth
were
made
.
He
shall
speake
but
the
word
and
to
hell
shal
you
be
had
.
Good
deedes
deriued
from
faith
,
are
Rampiers
or
Bulwarkes
raised
vp
against
the
deuill
:
he
that
hath
no
such
Bulwarke
of
good
deedes
to
resist
the
deuills
battery
,
cannot
chuse
but
haue
his
soules-citty
soone
raced
.
Good
deeds
are
a
tribute
which
we
pay
vnto
God
for
defending
vs
from
al
our
ghostly
enemies
,
&
planting
his
peace
in
our
consciences
.
In
stead
of
the
ceremoniall
Lawe
,
burnt-Offerings
and
Sacrifices
,
(
which
are
ceased
,
)
God
hath
giuen
vs
a
new
Law
,
To
loue
one
another
:
that
is
,
to
shew
the
fruites
of
loue
,
which
are
good
deedes
to
one
another
.
The
Widdowes
Oyle
was
increased
in
her
Cruse
,
and
her
Meale
in
in
her
tubbe
,
only
for
doing
good
deeds
to
the
prophet
of
the
Lord
.
Few
be
there
now-a-dayes
,
that
will
doe
good
deedes
but
for
good
deedes
,
that
is
,
for
rewardes
.
If
seates
of
iustice
were
to
be
sould
for
money
,
wee
haue
them
amongst
vs
that
would
buy
them
vp
by
the
whole
sale
,
and
make
them
away
againe
by
retaile

Hee
that

shrewd
Alcumists
there
are
risen
vp
,
that
will
pick
a

out
of
euery

and
not

to
set
vp
their
shops
of
buying

I
wold
to
God
they

not

pluckt
downe
Church

of

God

Let
not
the
Sheepe
iudge
their

,
because
the
scholler
is
not

,
much
lesse
are
they
to

the
Shepheard

Hee

wee
Christians
(

From

To

we
care
,
not

like

where
(
as
Iob
saith
)
vmbra

there
is
the
shaddow
of

&
confusion
without

O
Auarice
,
that
breaketh
both
the
Lawe
of
Moyses
and
the
Law
of
Nature
,
in
taking
vsury
or
in-comes
for
Aduousons
,
and
not
letting
the
land
of
the
Priests
bee
free
from
tribute
:
those
to
whom
thou
leauest
that
ill
gotten
vsury
or
tribute
,
shall
be
a
prey
to
the
irreligious
.
Fire
shall
consume
the

No
Cart

Beware
least
Hogges
come
to
gleane
after
your
Carts-tayle
:
that
your
heyres
come
not

put

of

and
make

The
onely
way
for
a
rich
man
to
preuent
robbing
,
is
to
be
bountifull
and
liberall
.
None
is
so
much
the
thieues
mark
as
the
Miser
and
the
Carle
.
Giue
while
you
liue

If
there
be
in

but
one
shilling
that

that

will
be
the

one

Euen
as
a
Prince
out
of
his
Subiects
goods
,
hath
lones
,
dismes

subsidies

so
God
out
of
our

,
demandeth
alone
,
a
tenth
,
and
a
subsidie
to
the
poore
.
Loe
,
the
one
halfe
of
my
goods
(
sayth
Zaccheus
)
I
giue
to
the
poore
.
Is
not
he
an
ill
seruant
,
that
when
his
Master
shall
into
his
hands
deliuer
a
large
summe
of
mony
,
to
be
distributed
among
the
needy
and
impotent
,
shall
purse
it
vp
into
his
owne
Coffers
,
and
either
giue
them
none
at
all
,
or
but
the
hundreth
part
of
it
?
Such
ill
seruants
are
we
.
The
treasure
and
possessions
we
haue
,
are
not
our
owne
,
but
the
Lord
hath
giuen
them
vs
to
giue
to
the
poore
,
and
spend
in
his
seruice
:
we
(
very
obsequiously
)
giue
to
the
poore
only
the
mould
of
our
treasure
,
and
will
rather
detract
from
Gods
seruice
,
then
detract
from
our
drosse
.
No
where
is
pitty
,
no
where
is
pitty
,
our
House
must
needs
be
left
desolate
vnto
vs
.
The
Idolatrous
Gentiles
shall
rise
vp
against
vs
,
that
bestowed
all
their
wealth
on
fanes
and
shrines
to
their
gods
,
and
presents
and
offerings
to
their
Images
;
To
the
true
Image
of
God
(
which
are
the
poore
,
)
wee
will
scarce
offer
our
bread-parings
.
The
Temple
of
Diana
at
Ephesus
,
was
two
hundred
yeeres
in
building
by
all
Asia
.
There
was
none
that
obtained
any
victorie
,
but
built
a
Temple
at
his
return
,
to
that
god
(
as
he
thought
)
which
assisted
him
.
Not
so
much
as
the
Feuer
quartan
,
but
the
Romanes
built
a
Temple
to
,
thinking
it
some
great
God
because
it
shook
them
so
:
and
another
to
ill
fortune
,
in
Exquillijs
,
a
Mountaine
in
Rome
,
because
it
should
not
plague
them
at
Cardes
and
Dice
.
No
Feuer
quartanes
,
ill
fortune
,
or
good
fortune
,
may
wring
out
of
vs
any
good
workes
.
Our
deuotion
can
away
with
anie
thing
,
but
this
Pharasaicall
almes-giuing
.
Hee
that
hath
nothing
to
doe
with
his
money
but
build
Churches
,
we
count
him
one
of
God-almighties
Fooles
,
or
els
(
if
he
beare
the
name
of
a
wise-man
)
wee
tearme
him
a
notable
braggart
.
Tut
,
tut
,
Almes-houses
will
make
good
stables
,
and
let
out
in
Tenaments
,
yeeld
a
round
sum
by
the
yeere
.
A
good
strong
bard
hutch
,
is
a
building
worth
twenty
of
those
Hospitals
and
Almes-houses
;
Our
rich
Chuffes
,
will
rather
put
their
helping
hands
to
the
building
of
a
prison
,
then
a
house
of
praier
.
Our
Courtiers
lay
that
on
their
backs
,
which
shold
serue
to
build
Churches
&
schooles
.
Those
Preachers
please
best
,
which
can
fit
vs
with
a
cheap
Religion
,
that
preach
Faith
,
&
all
Faith
,
and
no
Good-works
,
but
to
the
household
of
Faith
.
Ministers
and
Pastors
(
to
some
of
you
I
speake
,
not
to
all
,
)
t
is
you
that
haue
brought
downe
the
price
of
Religion
,
being
couetous
your selues
,
you
preach
nothing
but
couetous
doctrine
:
your
followers
seeing
you
giue
no
almes
,
take
example
(
by
you
)
to
hold
in
their
hands
to
,
and
will
giue
no

That
Text
is
too
often
in
your
mouthes
,
Hee
is
worse
then
an
Infidell
that
prouides
not
for
his
wife
and
family
.
You
doe
not
cry
out
of
the
Altar
,
cry
out
for
money
to
maintaine
poore
Schollers
,
cry
out
for
more
liuing
for
Colledges
,
cry
out
for
reliefe
for
them
that
are
sicke
and
visited
:
you
rather
cry
out
against
the
Altar
,
cry
out
against
the
liuing
the
Church
hath
already
.
It
were
to
bee
wished
,
that
order
were
taken
vp
amongst
you
,
which
was
obserued
in
S.
Augustines
time
:
For
then
it
was
the
custom
,
that
the
poore
should
begg
of
none
but
the
Preacher
or
Minister
,
and
if
he
had
not
to
giue
them
,
they
should
exclaime
and
cry
out
of
him
,
for
not
more
effectually
moouing
and
crying
out
to
the
people
for
them
.
Had
euery
one
of
you
,
all
the
poore
of
your
Parishes
hanging
about
your
doores
,
and
ready
to
rent
your
garments
off
your
backes
,
and
teare
out
your
throats
for
bread
euery
time
you
stird
abroad
,
you
would
bestirre
you
in
exhortation
to
charity
and
good
workes
,
and
make
your selues
hoarse
,
in
crying
out
against
couetise
and
hardnesse
of
heart
.
London
,
thy
heart
is
the
hart
of
couetousnes
,
all
charitie
and
compassion
is
cleane
banished
out
of
thee
:
except
thou
amendest
,
Ierusalem
,
Sodome
,
and
Thou
shalt
sit
downe
and
weepe
together
.
From
Ambition
and
Auarice
,
his
suborner
,
let
mee
progress
to
the
second
son
of
Pride
,
which
is
,
Vaine-glorie
.
This
Vaine-glory
,
is
any
excessiue
pride
or
delight
which
we
take
in
things
vnnecessarie
;
Much
of
the
nature
is
it
of
Ambition
,
but
it
is
not
so
dangerous
,
or
conuersant
about
so
great
matters
as
Ambition
.
It
is
(
as
I
may
call
it
)
the
froth
&
seething
vp
of
Ambition
.
Ambition
that
cannot
containe
it selfe
,
but
it
must
hop
and
bubble
aboue
water
.
It
is
the
placing
of
praise
and
renowne
in
contemptible
things
.
As
he
that
takes
a
glory
in
estranging
himselfe
from
the
attyre
and
fashions
of
his
owne
Country
.
Hee
that
taketh
a
glory
to
weare
a
huge
head
of
haire
like
Absalom
.
He
that
taketh
a
glory
in
the
glistering
of
his
apparell
and
his
perfumes
,
and
thinks
euery
one
that
sees
him
,
or
smels
to
him
,
should
be
in
loue
with
him
.
He
that
taketh
a
glory
in
hearing
himselfe
talke
,
and
stately
pronouncing
his
words
.
Hee
that
taketh
a
glory
to
bring
an
oath
out
with
a
grace
,
to
tell
of
his
cosonages
,
his
surfetings
,
and
drunkennesse
,
and
whoredomes
.
He
that
(
to
be
counted
a
Caualeir
,
and
a
resolute
braue
man
)
cares
not
what
mischiefe
hee
do
,
whom
he
quarrels
with
,
kils
or
stabbes
.
Such
was
Pausanias
that
kild
Philip
of
Macedon
,
onely
for
fame
or
vaine-glory
.
So
did
Herostratus
burne
the
Temple
of
Diana
,
(
whereof
I
talkt
in
the
leafe
before
,
)
to
get
him
an
eternall
vaine-glory
.
The
Spaniards
are
wonderfull
vaine-glorious
.
Many
Souldiers
are
most
impatient
vaine-glorious
,
in
standing
vpon
their
honor
in
euery
trifle
,
&
boasting
more
then
euer
they
did
.
They
are
vaine-glorious
also
in
commending
one
another
for
murders
and
braules
:
which
(
if
they
weighed
aright
)
is
the
most
ignominy
that
may
be
.
By
a
great
oth
they
wil
sweare
,
he
is
a
braue
,
delicate
,
sweet
man
,
for
he
kild
such
&
such
a
one
:
as
if
they
should
say
,
Caine
was
a
braue
delicate
sweet
man
,
for
kiling
his
brother
Abel
.
He
was
the
first
that
inuented
this
going
into
the
field
,
and
now
it
is
growne
to
a
common
exercise
euery
day
after
meate
.
Many
puny
Poets
&
old
ill
Poets
,
are
mighty
vaine-glorious
,
of
whom
Horace
speaketh
:
Ridentur
mala
qui
componunt
carmina
verum
.
Gaudent
scribentes
et
se
venerantur
&
vltro
.
Si
taceas
laudunt
quicquid
scripsere
beati
.
They
are
of
all
men
had
in
derision
(
saith
he
)
that
bungle
and
bodge
vp
wicked
verses
:
but
yet
they
do
honie
and
tickle
at
what
they
write
,
and
wonderfully
to
themselues
applaude
and
praise
themselues
;
and
of
their
owne
accord
,
(
if
you
doe
not
commend
them
)
they
will
openly
commend
themselues
,
and
count
their
pennes
blessed
whatsoeuer
they
inuent
.
Many
excellent
Musi●…ians
are
odde
fantastick
vaine-glorious
.
There
is
vaine-glory
in
building
,
in
banqueting
,
in
being
Diogenicall
and
dogged
:
in
voluntary
pouerty
and
deuotion
.
Great
is
their
vaine-glory
also
,
that
will
rather
reare
themselues
monuments
of
Marble
,
then
monuments
of
good
deedes
in
mens
mouthes
.
In
a
word
,
as
Paul
sayth
,
Non
est
Domine
in
quo
gloriaripossim
,
sed
in
Cruce
Domini
Iesu
Christi
:
There
is
no
true
glory
,
all
is
vain-glory
,
but
in
the
Crosse
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
The
lewes
vaine-glory
and
presumptuous
confidence
in
their
Temple
,
was
one
of
the
chiefe
sinnes
that
pluckt
on
their
desolation
.
In
that
Chapter
where
our
Sauiour
gaue
iudgement
ouer
Ierusalem
,
how
bitterly
did
he
inueigh
against
the
hypocrisie
and
vaine
glory
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisies
.
Let
vs
examine
what
this
hypocrisie
and
vaine-glorie
was
he
inueighed
so
against
,
and
see
if
there
be
any
such
amongst
vs
here
in
London
.
First
,
he
accuseth
them
,
Of
binding
heauie
burdens
and
too
grieuous
to
bee
borne
,
and
laying
them
on
other
mens
shoulders
,
and
not
moouing
them
with
one
finger
themselues
.
That
is
as
much
to
say
,
as
States
of
a
Country
should
make
burdenous
Lawes
,
to
oppresse
and
keepe
vnder
the
Communalty
,
and
looke
seuerely
to
the
obseruation
of
them
,
but
would
keepe
none
of
them
them-selues
,
nor
will
not
so
much
as
deigne
with
one
finger
to
touch
them
.
Secondly
,
The
did
all
their
workes
to
bee
seene
of
men
,
So
doe
they
that
will
doe
no
good
worke
,
but
to
be
put
in
the
Chronicles
after
their
death
:
so
doe
they
that
publiquely
wil
seeme
the
most
precise
iusticiaries
vnder
heauen
,
but
priuately
mittigate
their
sentence
for
mony
&
which
blind
the
wise
,
&
subuert
the
words
of
the
iust
.
The
especiall
thing
Christ
in
the
Pharisies
reproueth
that
they
did
to
be
seene
of
men
,
was
the
wearing
of
their
large
Philactaries
.
Those
Philactaries
(
as
S.
Ierom
they
shall
bee
alwaies
immoucable
before
thine
eres
.
That
which
they
had
alwaies
vaine-gloriously
before
their
eies
,
that
haue
we
alwaies
vaine-gloriously
in
our
mouthes
,
but
seldom
or
neuer
in
our
harts
.
Neuer
was
so
much
professing
,
&
so
little
practising
,
so
many
good
words
,
and
so
few
good
deeds
.
The
third
obiection
against
the
Pharisies
,
was
,
That
they
loued
the
highest
places
at
feastes
,
the
chiefe
seates
in
assemblies
,
and
greeting
in
the
Market-place
:
Which
is
as
much
to
say
,
as
that
they
were
arrogant
,
haughty
minded
,
and
insolent
:
that
they
had
no
spyrite
of
humility
or
meekenesse
in
them
;
They
were
besotted
with
the
pryde
of
their
owne
singularity
,
they
thought
no
man
worthy
of
any
honour
but
themselues
.
By
intrusion
and
not
standing
on
curtesie
,
they
gotte
to
sitte
highest
at
Feastes
,
and
be
preferr'd
in
Assemblies
:
which
appeareth
by
that
which
followeth
some
few
verses
after
:
For
who
soeuer
will
exalt
himselfe
,
shall
be
brought
lowe
,
and
whosoeuer
will
humble
himselfe
,
shal
be
exalted
.
Which
inferreth
,
that
they
did
intrude
or
exalt
themselues
,
and
were
not
exalted
other-wise
:
therefore
they
should
be
humbled
or
brought
low
.
Diuers
like
Pharasies
haue
wee
,
that
will
proudly
exalt
themselues
.
After
this
,
our
Sauiour
breathes
out
many
woes
against
them
.
First
,
For
shutting
vp
the
Kingdom
of
heauen
from
before
men
,
and
neither
entring
themselues
,
nor
suffering
those
that
would
to
enter
.
Next
,
For
deuouring
widdowes
houses
vnder
pretence
of
long
prayers
.
Thirdly
,
For
compassing
Sea
and
Lande
to
seduce
.
Fourthly
,
For
their
false
and
fond
distinction
and
interpretation
of
othes
.
Fiftly
For
tithing
mynt
and
Anise
seeed
and
commin
,
&
leauing
weightier
matters
of
the
law
,
iudgement
,
mercy
,
and
fidelity
,
foreslowed
:
for
straining
at
a
Gnat
,
and
swallowing
a
Camell
.
Sixthly
For
making
cleane
the
outside
of
the
cuppe
or
the
platter
,
when
within
they
were
full
of
bribery
and
excesse
.
Seauenthly
For
they
were
like
vnto
whited
toombes
,
which
appeare
beautifull
outward
,
but
within
are
full
of
dead
mens
bones
,
and
all
filthines
.
Eightly
,
For
they
built
the
Toombes
of
the
Prophets
,
and
garnisht
the
sepulchers
of
the
righteous
,
whose
doctrine
they
refused
to
be
ruled
by
.
Which
of
all
these
eyght
woes
but
we
haue
incurred
.
Peculiarly
apply
them
I
will
not
,
for
feare
their
reference
might
be
offensiue
:
but
let
euery
one
that
is
guiltie
in
any
of
them
,
apply
them
priuately
to
himselfe
,
least
euery
childe
in
the
streete
apply
them
openly
to
his
reproofe
.
London
looke
to
thy selfe
,
for
the
woes
that
were
pronounced
to
Ierusalem
,
are
pronounced
to
theee
.
Thou
transgressing
as
grieuously
as
shee
,
shalt
be
punished
as
greuously
.
Fly
from
sinne
,
take
no
pride
nor
vaine-glory
in
it
:
for
pride
or
vaine-glory
in
sinne
,
is
a
horrible
sinne
,
though
it
be
without
purpose
to
sinne
.
Ah
what
is
sinne
that
we
should
glory
in
it
?
To
glory
in
it
is
to
glory
that
the
deuill
is
our
father
.
Dooth
the
Peacocke
glory
in
his
foule
feete
?
Dooth
he
not
hang
downe
the
tayle
when
he
lookes
on
them
?
Doth
the
Buck
(
hauing
be
filtht
himselfe
with
the
female
,
)
lift
vp
his
hornes
and
walke
proudly
to
the
lawnes
?
O
no
,
he
so
hateth
himselfe
)
by
reason
of
the
stinch
of
his
commixture
,
)
that
all
drouping
and
languishing
into
some
solitary
Ditche
he
with-drawes
himselfe
,
and
takes
soyle
,
and
batheth
till
suck
time
as
there
fall
a
great
shoure
of
rayne
,
when
being
throughly
washed
&
clensed
,
he
posteth
back
to
his
food
.
Of
the
Peacock
,
of
the
Buck
,
nor
any
other
bruit
beast
can
we
be
taught
to
loath
our
filth
,
but
(
contrary
to
nature
,
)
farre
worse
then
brute
beastes
,
wee
are
enamored
What
cowarde
is
there
that
will
brage
or
glory
hee
was
beaten
and
disarmed
.
If
wee
had
the
witte
to
conceiue
the
basenesse
of
sinne
,
or
from
what
abiect
Parentage
it
is
sprung
,
wee
would
hate
it
as
a
Toade
,
and
flye
from
it
as
an
Adder
.
Not
without
reason
haue
many
learned
Writers
,
called
it
Bestiall
,
for
it
is
all
deriued
&
borrowed
from
Beastes
.
Pride
and
inflamation
of
hart
,
we
borrow
from
the
Lyon
,
auarice
from
the
Hedghog
,
luxury
,
ryot
,
and
sensuality
from
the
Hogge
:
and
therefore
we
call
a
leatcherous
person
,
a
boarish
companion
.
Enuy
from
the
Dogge
,
Ire
or
wrath
from
the
Wolfe
,
gluttony
or
gurmandise
from
the
Beare
,
and
lastly
sloth
from
the
Asse
.
So
that
as
wee
apparraile
our selues
in
Beastes
skinnes
,
in
selfe
same
sort
we
clothe
our
soules
in
their
skinnes
.
But
if
wee
did
imitate
ought
but
the
imperfections
of
Beasts
,
(
or
of
the
best
Beastes
,
but
the
worst
Beastes
,
)
it
were
some-what
:
if
we
had
any
sparke
or
taste
of
their
perfections
,
wee
were
not
so
to
be
condemned
.
We
haue
no
sparke
,
no
taste
,
we
are
nothing
but
a
compound
of
vncleanes
.
Let
vs
not
glory
that
wee
are
men
,
who
haue
put
on
the
shapes
of
Beastes
.
Thrice
blessed
are
Beastes
that
die
soone
,
and
after
this
life
feele
nohell
;
Woe
vnto
vs
,
we
shall
,
if
wee
appeare
to
God
in
the
image
of
beastes
,
and
soone
redeeme
not
from
sathan
the
image
of
our
creation
he
hath
stolne
from
vs
.
O
singuler
subtilty
of
our
enemy
,
so
to
sweeten
the
poyson
of
our
perdition
,
that
it
shold
be
more
relishsome
and
pleasant
vnto
vs
,
then
the
nectarized
Aquacaelestis
of
water-mingled
blood
,
sluced
from
Christs
side
.
We
glory
,
in
that
we
are
in
the
high-way
to
be
throwne
from
glory
:
Wee
will
not
heare
our
Folders
or
Sheepehearps
,
that
would
gather
vs
to
glory
.
Our
Lord
rode
vppon
at
Asse
when
he
gouerned
the
lawes
,
vnder
the
Law
(
in
comparison
of
vs
,
)
we
are
the
vnbroken-Colt
,
(
including
the
Gentiles
,
)
which
hee
commaunded
(
with
the
Asse
)
to
be
brought
vnto
him
.
This
thousand
and
odde
hundred
yeeres
hath
he
beene
breaking
vs
to
his
hand
,
and
now
,
(
when
he
had
thought
to
haue
found
vs
fitte
for
the
saddle
,
)
we
are
wilder
and
further
of
then
euer
we
were
.
Wee
kicke
and
winche
,
and
will
by
no
meanes
endure
his
managing
.
Wherefore
(
though
vtterly
wearied
with
both
)
better
he
esteemeth
of
his
old
obstinate
slow
Asse
,
the
Iewes
,
(
which
therfore
he
cast
off
,
for
they
had
tir'd
him
with
continual
beating
,
)
then
of
the
vntoward
Colt
,
(
vs
the
Gentiles
)
that
will
not
be
bridled
.
Ambition
and
vain-glory
,
make
vs
beare
vp
our
necks
stifly
,
and
bend
our
heads
backward
from
the
reyne
,
but
age
will
make
vs
stoope
thrice
more
forward
,
and
warpe
our
backs
in
such
a
round
bundle
,
that
with
declyning
,
our
snoutes
shall
digge
our
graues
.
England
thou
needst
not
bee
ambitious
,
thou
needst
not
be
vaine-glorious
,
for
ere
this
thou
hast
been
bowed
and
burdned
till
thy
backe
crackt
.
As
the
Israelites
were
tenne
times
led
into
captiuity
,
so
seauen
times
hast
thou
beene
ouer-runne
and
conquered
.
In
thy
strength
thou
boasts
,
God
with
the
weake
confoundeth
the
strong
.
The
least
lifting
vp
of
his
hand
,
makes
thy
men
of
warre
fall
backward
.
Say
thou
art
walled
with
Seas
,
how
easie
are
thy
walls
ouer-come
?
Who
shall
defende
thy
walls
if
the
ciuill
sworde
waste
thee
?
With
more
enemies
is
not
India
besette
then
thou
art
.
Vngratefully
hath
God
giuen
thee
long
peace
and
plenty
,
since
whereas
warre
can
but
breed
vices
,
thy
peace
and
plenty
hath
begotte
more
sinnes
,
then
warre
ouer
hearde
of
,
or
the
Sunne
hath
Atoms
.
Yet
learne
to
leaue
of
thy
vaine-glory
,
that
God
may
glory
in
thee
.
Learne
to
despise
the
world
,
despise
vanity
,
despise
thy selfe
,
to
despise
despysing
,
and
lastly
,
to
despise
no
man
.
If
you
be
of
the
world
,
you
will
affect
the
vaine-glory
of
the
world
:
if
you
be
not
of
the
world
,
looke
for
no
glory
but
contempt
from
the
world
.
It
lies
in
your
election
to
draw
lots
,
whither
you
will
bee
heyres
of
the
glory
eternall
,
or
enioy
the
short
breath
of
vaine-glory
amongst
men
.
The
third
sonne
of
Pride
,
is
Atheisme
,
which
is
when
a
man
is
so
timpaniz'd
with
prosperity
,
and
entranced
from
himselfe
,
with
Wealth
,
Ambition
,
and
Vaine-glory
,
that
he
forgets
he
had
a
Maker
,
or
that
there
is
a
Heauen
aboue
him
which
controules
him
.
Too
much
ioy
of
this
world
hath
made
him
drunke
.
I
haue
read
of
many
,
whom
extreame
ioy
&
extreame
griefe
hath
forced
to
runne
mad
;
so
with
extreame
ioy
runnes
he
mad
,
he
waxeth
a
Foole
and
an
Idiote
,
and
then
hee
sayes
in
his
hart
,
There
is
no
God
.
Others
there
be
of
these
soulebenummed
Atheists
,
who
(
hauing
so
farre
entred
in
bold
blasphemies
,
and
Scripture-scorning
ironies
against
God
,
that
they
thinke
,
if
God
be
a
God
of
any
iustice
and
omnipotence
,
it
cannot
stand
with
that
his
iustice
&
omnipotence
,
to
suffer
such
despight
vnpunished
,
)
for
their
onely
refuge
,
perswade
them-selues
there
is
no
God
,
and
with
their
prophane
wits
innent
reasons
,
why
there
should
be
no
God
.
In
our
Sauiours
time
there
were
Saduces
,
that
denied
the
Resurrection
;
what
are
these
Atheists
but
Saducaean
sectaries
that
deny
the
resurrection
?
They
belieue
they
must
die
,
though
they
beleiue
not
the
Deity
.
By
un
meanes
may
they
auoyde
what
they
will
not
admitte
.
Io
the
very
houre
of
death
,
shal
appeare
to
them
a
God
and
a
deuill
.
In
the
very
houre
of
death
,
to
Atheisticall
Iulian
,
(
who
mockingly
called
all
Christians
Gallileans
,
)
appeared
a
grizly
shaggy-bodied
deuill
,
who
for
all
(
at
his
sight
)
he
recantingly
cryed
out
,
Vicisti
,
Galilaee
,
vicisti
.
Thine
is
the
day
,
thineis
the
victory
ô
man
of
Galilee
,
yet
would
it
not
for-beare
him
or
giue
him
ouer
,
till
it
had
stript
his
soule
foorth
of
his
fleshie
rinde
,
and
tooke
it
away
with
him
.
Those
that
neuer
heard
of
God
or
the
deuill
in
their
life
before
,
at
that
instant
of
their
transmutation
,
shall
giue
testimony
of
them
.
This
I
assure
my selfe
,
that
how-euer
in
pride
of
minde
,
(
because
they
would
be
different
in
paradoxisme
from
all
the
world
,
)
some
there
be
that
fantasie
phylosophicall
probabilities
,
of
the
Trinities
vnexistence
,
yet
in
the
inmost
recourse
of
their
consciences
,
they
subscribe
to
him
,
and
confesse
him
.
Most
of
them
,
because
they
cannot
grosly
palpabrize
or
feele
God
with
their
bodily
fingers
,
confidently
and
grossely
discard
him
.
Those
that
come
to
God
,
must
beleiue
that
God
is
,
and
that
he
is
a
rewarder
of
them
that
seeke
him
.
They
comming
against
God
,
beleiue
that
he
is
not
,
and
that
those
prosper
best
,
and
are
best
rewarded
that
sette
him
at
nought
.
The
heauens
declare
the
glory
of
God
,
&
the
Firmament
sheweth
his
handy
worke
,
one
generation
telleth
another
of
the
wonders
hee
hath
done
:
yet
will
not
these
faythlesse
contradictours
,
suffer
any
glory
to
be
ascribed
to
him
.
Stoutly
they
refragate
and
withstand
,
that
the
Firmament
is
not
his
handy-worke
,
nor
,
will
they
credite
one
generation
telling
another
of
his
wonders
.
They
followe
the
Pironiks
,
whose
position
and
opinion
it
is
,
that
there
is
not
hel
or
misery
but
opinion
.
Impudently
they
persist
in
it
,
that
the
late
discouered
Indians
,
are
able
to
shew
antiquities
,
thousands
before
Adam
.
With
Cornelius
Tacitus
,
they
make
Moyses
a
wise
prouident
man
,
well
seene
in
the
Egiptian
learning
,
but
deny
hee
had
any
diuine
assistance
in
the
greatest
of
his
miracles
.
The
water
(
they
say
)
which
he
strooke
out
of
a
Rocke
in
the
Wildernes
,
was
not
by
any
supernaturall
worke
of
GOD
,
but
by
watching
to
what
parte
the
Wild-asses
repayred
for
drink
.
With
Albumazar
,
they
holde
that
his
leading
the
Chyldren
of
Israell
ouer
the
Red-sea
,
was
no
more
but
obseruing
the
influence
of
Starres
,
and
wayning
season
of
the
Moone
that
with-draweth
the
Tydes
.
They
seek
not
to
know
God
in
his
workes
,
or
in
his
Sonne
Christ
Iesus
,
but
by
his
substance
,
his
forme
,
or
the
place
wherein
he
doth
exist
.
Because
some
late
Writers
of
our
side
,
haue
sought
to
discredit
the
story
of
Iudith
,
of
Susanna
and
Daniell
,
and
of
Bell
and
the
Dragon
,
they
thinke
they
may
thrust
all
the
rest
of
the
Bible
(
in
like
manner
)
into
the
Iewish
Thalmud
,
and
taxe
it
for
a
fabulous
Legend
.
This
place
serueth
not

,

My

with

I

O

though
I
haue

with

.
I
will
not
bee
so
vnweaponed-ieopardous
,
to
ouerthrow
both
thy
cause
and
my
credite
at
once
,
by
ouer-Atlassing
mine
inuention
.
That
which
I
vndertake
,
shall
bee
onely
to
throw
one
light
Dart
at
their
faces
from
a
farre
,
and
exhort
all
able
pennes
to
arme
themselues
,
against
thine
Atheisticall
maledictours
.
Of
Atheists
this
age
affordeth
two
sorts
,
the
inwarde
and
the
outward
;
The
inward
Atheist
is
hee
,
that
deuours
widowes
houses
vnder
pretence
of
long
prayers
,
that
(
like
the
Panther
)
hideth
his
face
in
a
hood
of
Religion
,
when
he
goeth
about
his
prey
.
He
would
professe
himselfe
an
Atheist
openly
but
that
(
like
the
Pharisies
)
he
feareth
the
multitude
.
Because
the
multitude
fauours
Religion
,
he
runnes
with
the
streame
,
and
fauours
Religion
:
because
he
would
be
Captaine
of
a
multitude
.
To
be
the
God
of
gold
,
he
cares
not
how
many
gods
he
entertaines
.
Church
rites
hee
supposeth
not
amisse
to
busie
the
Common-peoples
heads
with
,
that
they
shold
not
fal
aboard
with
Princes
matters
.
And
as
Numa
Pompilius
in
Rome
,
and
Minos
in
Athens
,
kept
the
people
in
awe
,
&
thrust
what
tyrannous
laws
they
list
vpon
them
,
(
the
one
,
vnder
pretence
he
did
nothing
without
conference
of
the
Nimph
Egeria
,
the
other
,
vnder
colour
he
was
inspired
in
a
certaine
hollow
Caue
by
Iupiter
,
)
so
hee
makes
conscience
and
the
spirit
of
God
,
a
long
side-cloake
,
for
all
his
oppressions
and
pollicies
.
A
holy
looke
he
will
put
on
when
he
meaneth
to
doe
mischiefe
,
and
haue
Scripture
in
his
mouth
,
euen
whiles
hee
is
in
cutting
his
neighbours
throate
.
The
propagation
of
the
Gospell
,
(
good
Saint-like
man
)
hee
onely
shootes
at
,
when
vnder
suppressing
of
Popery
,
hee
striues
to
ouer-throwe
all
Church-liuings
.
So
that
euen
as
the
Gospell
is
the
power
of
God
,
to
saluation
,
to
euery
one
that
belieueth
,
so
is
it
in
him
the
diuels
power
of
beguiling
and
vndoing
,
to
euery
one
that
belieues
him
.
He
it
is
that
turneth
the
truth
of
God
to
alie
,
and
buildeth
his
house
by
hypocrisie
,
that
hath
his
mouth
swept
and
garnished
,
but
in
his
heart
a
whole
legion
of
diuels
.
The
outward
Atheist
,
(
contrariwise
)
with
those
things
that
proceede
from
his
mouth
,
defileth
his
heart
;
He
establisheth
reason
as
his
God
,
and
will
not
be
perswaded
that
God
(
the
true
God
)
is
,
except
he
make
him
priuie
to
all
the
secrecies
of
his
beginning
and
gouernment
.
Straightly
he
will
examine
him
where
hee
was
,
what
he
did
before
he
created
Heauen
and
Earth
;
how
it
is
possible
he
should
haue
his
beeing
from
before
all
beginnings
?
Euery
circumstance
of
his
prouidence
he
wil
run
through
,
&
question
why
he
did
not
this
thing
,
and
that
thing
,
and
the
other
thing
,
according
to
their
humors
?
Being
earthly
bodies
,
(
vnapt
to
ascende
,
)
in
their
ambitious
cogitation
,
they
will
breake
ope
and
ransack
his
Closet
:
and
if
(
conueniently
)
they
may
not
come
to
i●…
,
then
they
will
derogate
and
depraue
him
all
they
can
.
Little
do
they
consider
,
that
as
the
light
which
shined
before
Paul
,
made
him
blinde
,
so
the
light
of
Gods
inuisible
misteries
,
(
if
euer
it
shine
in
our
harts
,
)
will
confound

Idle-headed
Atheist
,
ill
wouldst
thou
(
as
the
Romans
)
acknowledge
and
offer
sacrifice
to
many
gods
,
that
wilt
not
grant
one
God
.
From

reuolue

thou
hast

if
thou
hast
been
heard
and
thy
prayer
accomplisht
,
who
hath
heard
thee
,
who
hath
accomplisht
it
?
Wilt
thou
ratifidely
affirme
,
that
God
is
no
God
,
because
(
like
a
Noune
substantiue
)
thou
canst
not
essentially
see
him
,
feele
him
,
or
heare
him
.
Is
a
Monarch
no
Monarch
,
because
hee
reareth
not
his
resiant
throne
amongst
his
vtmost
subiects
?
Wee
(
of
all
earthlings
)
are
Gods
vtmost
subiects
,
the
last
(
in
a
manner
)
that
he
brought
to
his
obedience
:
shal
we
then
forget
that
wee
are
any
subiects
of
his
,
because
(
as
a
mongst
his
Angels
)
he
is
not
visibly
conuersant
amongst
vs
?
Suppose
our
Monarch
were
as
farre
distanced
from
vs
as
Constantinople
,
yet
still
he
is
a
Monarch
,
and
his
power
vndiminished
.
Indeed
so
did
our
Fathers
rebell
,
and
forgot
they
had
a
King
;
when
Richard
cuer
de
Lyon
was
warring
in
the
Holy-land
,
his
owne
brother
king
Iohn
,
forgot
that
he
had
a
brother
,
&
crownd
himselfe
King
.
But
God
is
not
absent
,
but
present
continually
amongst
vs
,
though
not
in
sight
,
yet
as
a
Spirit
at
our
elbowes
euery
where
,
(
and
so
delight
many
Kings
to
walk
disguised
amongst
their
subiects

)
Hee
treads
in
all
our
steps
,
hee
plucketh

letteth
out
our
breath
as
hee
pleaseth
,
our
eyes
he
openeth
and
shutteth
,
our

he
guideth

T
is
nothing
but
plentie

that

the

of
the
Sybils

who
spoke
nothing
but
was
registred
;
Yet
nothing
comes
from
their
mouthes
,
but
grosse
full-stomackt
tautologie
.
They
sweat
they
blunder
,
they
bounce
and
plunge
in
the
Pulpit
,
but
all
is
voyce
but
no
substance
:
they
deafe
mens
eares
but
not
edifie
.
Scripture
peradventure
they
come
off
thicke
and
three-folde
with
,
but
it
is
so
vgly
daubed
,
plaistred
and
patcht
on
,
so
peeuishly
speckt
and
applied
,
as
if
a
Botcher
(
with
a

Veluet

should
clout

mend
leather
doublets

Gette
you
some
witte
in
your
great
heades
,
my
hottespurd
Deuines
,
discredit
not
the
Gospel
:
if
you
haue
none
damme
vp
the
Ouen
of
your
vtterance
,
make
not
such
a
bigge
sound
with
your
empty
vessells
.
At
least
,
loue
men
of
witte
,
and
not
hate
them
so
as
you
doe
,
for
they
haue
what
you
want
.
By
louing
them
,
and
accompanying
with
them
you
shall
both
doe
them
good
and
your selues
good
;
They
of
you
shall
learne
sobriety
and
good
life
,
you
of
them
,
shall
learne
to
vtter
your
learning
and
speak
moouingly
.
If
you
count
it
prophane
to
arte-enamel
your
speech
to
empeirce
,
and
make
a
conscience
to
sweeten
your
tunes
to
catch
soules
,
Religion
(
through
you
)
shall
reap
infamy
.
Men
are
men
,
and
with
those
thinges
must
be
mooued
,
that
men
wont
to
be
mooued
.
They
must
haue
a
little
Sugar
mixt
with
their
soure
Pills
of
reproofe
,
the
hookes
must
be
pleasantly
baited
that
they
bite
at
.
Those
that
hang
forth
their
hookes
and
no
bayte
,
may
well
enough
entangle
them
in
the
weedes
,
(
enwrap
themselues
in
contentions
)
but
neuer
winne
one
soule
.
Turne
ouer
the
auncient
Fathers
,
and
mark
how
sweet
and
honisome
they
are
in
the
mouth
,
and
how
musicall
and
melodious
in
the
eare
.
No
Orator

then

Saint

These
Athists
with
whom
you
are
to
encounter
,
are
speciall
men
of
witte
.
The
Romish
Seminaries
,
haue
not
allured
vnto
them
so
m●…ny
good
wittes
as
Athis●…
.
It
is
the
superaboundance
of
witte
that
makes
Atheists
:
will
you
then
hope
to
beat
them
downe
with
fus●…y
brown-bread
dorbellisme
?
No
,
no
either
you
must
straine
your
wits
an
Ela
aboue
theirs
,
and
so
entice
them
to
your
preachings
,
and
ouer-turne
them
,
or
else
with
disordered
hayleshotte
of
Scriptures
,
shall
you
neuer
scarre
them
.
Skirmishing
with
Atheists
,
you
must
behaue
your selues
as
you
were
conuerting
the
Gentiles
.
All
antique
histories
you
must
haue
at
your
fingers-end
.
No
Phylosophers
confession
or
opinion
of
God
:
that
you
are
to
be
ignorant
in
.
Ethnicks
,
with
their
owne
Ethnick
weapons
you
must
assayle
.
Infinite
laborinths
of
bookes
he
must
runne
thorough
,
that
wil
be
a
compleat
Champion
in
Christs
Church
.
Let
not
sloth-fauoring
innouation
abuse
you
.
Christ
when
hee
sayd
you
must
forsake
all
and
follow
him
,
meant
not
you
should
forsake
all
artes
and
follow
him
.
Luke
was
a
Phisitian
and
followed
him
.
Phisitians
are
the
only
vpholders
of
humane
Artes.
Paul
was
a
Pharisie
and
brought
vp
in
all
the
knowledge
of
the
Gentiles
,
and
yet
he
was
an
Apostle
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Though
it
pleased
our
louing
crucified
Lord
,
during
his
residence
heere
vppon
earth
,
miraculously
to
inspire
poore
Fishermen
,
and
disgregate
his
gifts
from
the
ordinary
meanes
,
yet
since
his
ascention
into
heauen
,
meanlesse
miracles
are
ceased
.
Certaine
meanes
he
hath
assigned
vs
,
which
he
hath
promised
to
blesse
,
but
without
meanes
no
blessing
hath
he
warantized
.
When
the
deuill
would
haue
had
him
of
stones
to
make
bread
,
he
would
in
no
kind
consent
:
no
more
will
he
consent
of
blocks
and
stones
in
these
dayes
to
make
distributers
of
the
bread
of
life
.
What
are
Asses
that
will
take
vpon
them
to
preach
without
giftes
but
bread
made
of
stones
?
Euen
as
God
sayd
vnto
Adam
,
Hee
should
gette
or
earne
his
bread
with
the
sweat
of
his
browes
,
so
they
that
will
haue
heauenly
bread
enough
to
feed
themselues
and
a
family
(
which
is
a
congregation
or
flocke
,
)
must
earne
it
,
and
get
it
,
with
the
sweat
of
their
browes
,
with
long
labour
,
study
,
and
industry
,
toyle
and
search
after
it
.
No
one
Art
is
there
that
hath
not
some
dependance
vppon
another
,
or
to
whose
top
or
perfection
we
may
climbe
,
without
steppes
or
degrees
of
the
other
.
Humaine
artes
are
the
steppes
and
degrees
Christ
hath
prescribed
and
assigned
vs
,
to
climbe
vp
to
heauen
of
Artes
by
,
which
is
Diuinity
.
Hee
can
neuer
climbe
to
the
toppe
of
it
,
which
refuseth
to
climbe
by
these
steppes
.
No
knowledge
but
is
of
God
.
Vnworthy
are
wee
of
heauenly
knowledge
,
if
we
keepe
from
her
any
one
of
her
hand-maydes
.
Logique
Rhethorique
,
History
,
Philosophy
,
Musicke
,
Poetry
,
all
are
the
handmaydes
of
Diuinity
.
She
can
neuer
be
curiously
drest
,
or
exquisitely
accomplisht
,
if
any
one
of
these
be
wanting
.
God
delighteth
to
be
magnified
in
all
his
Creatures
,
especially
,
in
al
the
excellentest
of
his
creatures
.
Artes
are
the
excellentest
of
his
creatures
,
not
one
of
them
Dauid
?
Praise
the
Lord
Sunne
&
Moone
,
praise
him
ye
bright
starrs
,
praise
him
heauen
of
heauens
,
&
waters
that
be
aboue
the
heauens
.
That
is
praise
the
Lord
Metaphusicall
Philosophy
,
which
art
conuersant
in
all
these
matters
:
Into
the
maiesty
and
glory
of
the
Sunne
and
Moone
,
thou
seest
,
the
bright
Starres
predominance
and
moouing
,
thou
knowest
the
heauen
of
heauens
,
and
waters
that
be
aboue
the
heauens
(
in
part
though
not
at
large
)
thou
comprehendest
:
therefore
praise
him
in
all
these
.
Take
occasion
(
preachers
in
your
sermons
)
from
the
wonders
and
secrets
these
to
include
,
to
extoll
his
magnificent
name
,
and
by
humaine
artes
abstracts
to
glorifie
him
.
Prayse
yee
the
Lord
(
thus
Dauid
proceeds
)
yee
Dragons
and
all
deepes
,
Fyre
,
Hayle
,
Snow
and
vapours
,
stormy
winds
and
tempests
execute
his
word
.
Mountaines
&
hilles
,
fruitfull
trees
and
all
Cedars
,
Beasts
and
Cattell
:
creeping
thinges
and
fethered
foules
,
Princes
and
Iudges
of
the
world
,
young
men
and
Maidens
,
old
men
and
Children
,
prayse
yee
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
So
that
it
is
lawfull
to
execute
his
word
,
that
is
in
preaching
of
his
word
by
similitudes
and
comparisons
,
drawne
from
the
nature
&
property
of
all
these
,
to
laud
and
amplifie
the
eternity
of
his
name
.
Christ
hee
drew
comparisons
from
the
hayres
of
a
mans
head
,
from
Vineyardes
,
from
Fig-trees
,
from
Sparrowes
,
from
Lillies
and
a
hundred
such
like
.
Wee
(
in
this
age
)
count
him
a
Heathen
Deuine
,
that
alledgeth
any
illustration
out
of
humaine
Authors
,
&
makes
not
all
his
sermons
concloutments
of
scripture
.
Scripture
we
hotch-potch
together
,
and
do
not
place
like
pearle
and
Gold-lace
on
a
garment
,
heere
and
there
to
adorne
,
but
pile
it
,
and
dung
it
vp
on
heapes
,
without
vse
or
edification
.
We
care
not
how
we
mispeake
it
so
wee
haue
it
to
speake
.
Out
it
flies
East
and
West
;
though
we
loose
it
all
it
is
nothing
,
for
more
haue
we
of
it
,
then
we
can
well
tell
what
to
do
withall
.
Violent
are
the
most
of
our
pack-horse
Pulpit-men
in
vomiting
,
their
duncery
.
Their
prechings
seeme
rather
pestilentiall
frenzies
then
any
thing
els
.
They
writhe
Texts
like
waxe
,
and
where
they
enuy
,
Scripture
is
their
Champion
to
scold
,
and
though
a
whole
month
together
so
they
should
scold
they
would
not
want
alegations
to
cast
in
one
anothers
teeth
.
Non
fuit
sic
a
principio
,
I
wis
it
was
not
so
in
the
Primitiue
Church
but
in
our
Church
euery
man
wil
be
a
primate
,
euery
man
will
bee
Lord
and
King
ouer
the
flocke
that
hee
feedes
,
or
else
hee
will
famish
it
:
This
is
erring
from
my
scope
of
the
true
vse
of
scripture
I
am
to
talke
.
Scripture
if
it
be
vsed
otherwise
then
as
the
last
seale
to
confirme
any
thing
,
if
it
bee
triuially
,
or
without
necessity
,
cald
vnto
witnesse
,
it
is
a
flat
taking
of
the
name
of
God
in
vaine
.
The
phrase
of
Sermons
as
it
ought
to
agree
with
the
scripture
,
so
heed
must
be
taken
that
their
whole
Sermons
seem
not
a
banquet
of
broken
fragments
of
scripture
:
that
it
be
not
vsd
but
as
the
corner
stone
to
close
vp
any
building
;
That
they
gather
fruit
and
not
leaues
,
proofes
and
not
phrases
onely
out
of
the
Bible
.
As
in
battaile
we
vse
the
weapons
&
Engins
of
al
Nations
so
embattelling
our selues
against
sin
,
we
must
vse
the
weapons
&
arts
of
al
Nations
.
Scripture
must
be
reserud
as
the
last
volley
of
the
victory
.
It
is
the
great
Ordnance
which
must
play
vpon
our
enemies
,
in
the
end
and
cheife
hazard
of
the
fight
.
If
we
refuse
with
Demosthenes
to
reserue
alour
weighy
arguments
til
the
latter
end
,
like
the
French-men
,
we
shal
fight
valiantly
at
the
first
,
but
quaile
in
the
midst
.
Scripture
is
the
chiefe
power
of
GOD
to
saluation
.
Generals
in
a
pitcht
field
,
will
not
thrust
forth
their
cheife
power
first
.
By
little
,
and
little
,
they
will
trayne
,
their
enemy
out
of
order
with
light
onsets
.
Hee
that
will
ascend
,
must
from
the
low
valleys
creepe
vp
.
higher
and
higher
;
with
one
caper
or
iumpe
,
is
not
the
Mountaine
of
Theology
to
be
sealed
.
This
is
it
I
contend
,
that
Stars
haue
their
thrones
of
illumination
allotted
them
in
the
Firmament
,
as
well
as
the
Sunne
&
Moone
:
that
humane
writers
haue
their
vse
of
reprouing
vices
,
as
wel
as
the
Scriptures
.
It
is
an
easie
matter
to
praise
God
,
in
that
wherein
he
hath
placed
the
especiall
state-house
of
his
praises
.
He
which
out
of
the
barrainest
,
and
barest
parts
of
his
Lords
dominion
,
shall
accumulate
and
leuy
to
his
Treasury
,
a
greater
tribute
then
he
hath
out
of
his
richest
Prouinces
,
shall
he
not
(
of
all
other
)
doe
him
the
most
remunerablest
seruice
?
Malicious
and
maleuolent
are
they
,
that
will
exclude
any
one
Arte
,
or
Athenian
or
Roman
Author
,
any
one
creeping
worme
or
contemptible
creature
,
from
bearing
witnes
of
God
.
Paul
alleadged
diuers
verses
out
of
Heathen
Poets
,
as
out
of
Epemenides
,
Aratus
,
Menander
,
Theocritus
:
nay
,
what
place
is
it
in
the
Scripture
,
where
the
holy
Ghost
doth
not
stoope
himselfe
to
our
capacities
,
by
humane
Metaphors
&
similitudes
.
Our
Atheist
we
haue
in
hand
,
with
nothing
but
humane
reasons
will
bee
rebutted
.
Vaunt
you
yee
speake
from
the
holy
Ghost
neuer
so
,
if
you
speake
not
in
compasse
of
his
fiue
sences
,
he
wil
despise
you
,
and
floute
you
.
He
hearing
euery
one
(
that
in
the
Pulpit
talkes
affectedly
,
coldly
,
crabbedly
or
absurdly
,
)
say
,
He
talkes
from
the
mouth
of
God
,
makes
both
am
obloquy
of
Gods
mouth
and
the
Ministrie
.
But
ill
shall
his
scoffes
prosper
with
him
;
When
he
thinkes
he
hath
won
the
greatest
prize
to
his
wit
,
in
putting
downe
God
,
God
in
iudgement
shall
arise
and
reproue
him
.
At
the
day
of
death
,
and
at
the
day
of
iudgement
,
hee
shal
reproue
him
,
sight-killingly
with
his
clusterd
brows
,
and
clowde-begetting
srownes
,
he
shall
teach
him
,
both
that
he
is
,
and
what
he
is
.
Reuerend

in

Prosecute
with

these
Prophirtan

Imitate
the
Athenians
,
who
committed
Anaxagoras
to
prison
,
and
but
for
Pericles
,
had
put
him
to

,

but
a
booke
of
the
Moones
eclipses
,
after
by
them
she
was
receiued

If

be
you
twise

in

Fall

Our

The
fourth
sonne
of
Pride
,
is
Discontent
,
which
whomsoeuer
it
throughly
enhabiteth
,
it
carrieth
cleane
away
to
extreames
.
If
it
light
on
a
poore
man
that
hath
no
meanes
to
prosecute
it
,
it
cutteth
him
off
presently
.
If
on
a
man
of
puissance
,
(
be
he
not
more
then
motherwitted
circumspect
,
)
to
him
and
his
family
it
is
no
lesse
fatall
.
Generally
it
is
grounded
on
pride
,
as
when
a
man
taketh
vnto
him
a
minde
aboue
his
birth
or
fortune
,
and
is
not
able
to
goe
through
with
it
.
When
hee
hath
resolued
to
prize
him selfe
thus
great
,
and
so
great
,
&
some
man
(
as
proud
as
himselfe
)
comes
and
vnder-bids
him
,
and
out-braues
him
.
And
thirdly
when
on
iust
demerrits
hec
hath
builded
but
meane
hopes
,
and
those
not
only
dy
in
the
dust
,
but
his
iustdemerits
,
indignly
,
draw
vnto
him
vniust
hatred
.
For
such
is
great
mens
manner
,
any
one
that
is
troublesome
to
them
,
or
that
they
were
indebted
to
,
and
cannot
well
recompence
,
they
come
to
hate
deadly
.
There
is
a
discontent
proceeding
from
a
naturall
melancholly
humor
,
or
caused
by
surfeit
or
misdiet
.
Some
by
ouer-studdying
come
to
be
discontent
and
dogged
.
I
haue
knowne
many
,
whom
shrewd
or
light
huswiues
to
their
wiues
,
vnthrift
obstinate
children
,
sutes
in
Law
ouerruled
by
letters
from
aboue
,
haue
caused
to
languish
and
droope
away
in
discontent
.
The
fruites
of
discontent
are
bannings
,
cursings
,
secret
murmurrings
,
outrage
,
murder
,
iniustice
,
all
which
are
high
treasonous
trespasses
against
God
.
The
deuill
is
the
father
of
Discontent
,
One
of
the
greatest
miseries
of
the
damned
,
shall
be
discontent
.
No
thing
so
much
prouoketh
God
to
iudgement
as
discontent
.
Hee
destroyed
the
children
of
Israell
whiles
the
meate
was
in
their
mouthes
,
in
the
Wildernes
,
for
murmurring
or
being
discontent
:
their
discontent
was
sayd
to
afflict
him
.
Many
a
time
and
oft
haue
they
afflicted
mee
euen
from
my
youth
vp
,
saith
Dauid
,
in
Gods
person
,
speaking
of
their
repining
at
the
waters
of
strife
.
Therefore
whosoeuer
is
discontent
with
any
crosse
or
calamity
the
Lord
layeth
vppon
him
aflicteth
God
,
and
must
looke
for
speedy
confusion
.
Nothing
in
this
life
reuengeth
he
so
much
as
it
.
Hence
it
is
so
many
stabbe
,
hang
,
and
drowne
themselues
,
and
thereby
endaunger
their
owne
soules
beyond
mercy
.
It
is
the
grieuousest
sentence
God
can
pronounce
against
man
,
as
to
be
his
own
Executioner
:
whereby
it
appeareth
,
that
Discontent
is
the
grieuousest
sinne
that
man
can
commit
.
When
did
you
euer
heare
of
any
but
the
discontented
man
,
that
offered
violence
to
himselfe
?
What
is
the
sinne
against
the
holy
Ghost
,
(
which
Augustine
concludeth
to
be
nothing
,
but
Desperatio
morientis
,
to
giue
vp
a
mans
soule
in
despaire
,
)
but
a
special
branch
of
discontent
.
Wherefote
did
our
Saniour
thunder
forth
such
a
terrible
woe
against
the
causers
of
offence
,
or
discontent
,
but
that
it
was
the
most
heynous
scourge-procuring
transgression
of
all
others
?
Ionas
the
Lords
annointed
Prophet
,
for
he
was
discontent
,
and
grudged
when
he
should
haue
beene
sent
vnto
Niniui
,
had
a
torment
like
hel
(
for
the
time
)
inflicted
vpon
him
.
In
the
Whales
belly
,
full
of
horror
,
dispaire
,
stinch
and
darknes
,
three
dayes
and
three
nights
he
was
shut
.
Hardly
can
God
abstaine
from
throwing
any
man
downe
into
Hell
,
that
is
vpbraidingly
discontent
.
As
the
merry
man
(
of
all
other
,
)
best
thriueth
in
that
he
goes
about
,
so
the
discontented
man
(
of
all
other
,
)
is
most
fore-spoken
,
and
vnluckie
in
his
enterprises
.
Few
discontented
men
shall
you
obserue
,
that
giue
vp
the
ghost
in
their
beds
.
There
is
a
Discontent
contrary
to
Pride
,
which
is
most
pleasing
to
God
:
which
is
,
when
a
man
grieues
,
&
is
discontent
,
because
he
cannot
chuse
but
sin
&
rebel
against
God
.
Also
when
he
is
wearied
,
and
discontent
with
the
vanities
of
the
world
.
So
was
the
Preacher
,
when
he
cried
,
Vanity
of
vanities
,
&
all
thing
is
vanitie
.
There
is
a
tollerable
Discontent
likewise
,
which
Dauid
and
Iob
had
,
when
they
complained
that
the
Tabernacles
of
Robbers
did
prosper
,
and
they
were
in
safety
that
prouokt
God
.
But
so
little
of
this
true
discontent
is
there
in
London
,
that
(
almost
)
there
is
no
content
in
it
,
but
in
robbing
and
prouoking
God
.
Sin
is
no
sin
,
(
saith
an
auncient
Father
,
)
except
it
be
voluntary
,
and
we
take
a
content
in
committing
it
.
Who
is
there
that
oppresseth
,
committeth
adultery
,
is
prodigall
,
sweareth
or
forsweareth
,
but
taketh
a
content
in
committing
it
?
There
we
place
content
,
where
we
should
take
vp
discontent
,
and
there
are
wee
discontent
,
were
wee
should
repose
our
whole
gladnes
and
felicity
.
We
are
discontent
,
if
wee
heare
our
sinnes
ript
vp
sharply
.
We
are
discontent
,
if
we
be
detained
in
the
seruice
of
God
,
but
half
an
houre
extraordinary
.
We
are
discontent
,
if
we
be
constrained
to
giue
to
the
poore
.
Euery
man
here
in
London
,
is
discontent
with
the
state
wherein
he
liues
.
Euery
one
seeketh
to
vndermine
another
.
No
two
of
one
trade
,
but
as
they
are
of
one
trade
,
enuy
one
another
.
Not
two
conioined
in
one
office
,
but
ouerthwart
&
emulate
one
another
,
and
one
of
them
vndoes
what
the
other
hath
done
.
The
Court
is
the
true
kingdom
of
discontent
.
There
Pride
raigning
most
,
Discontent
cannot
chuse
but
be
a
hanger
on
.
No
conspiracie
,
or
warre
(
ciuil
or
outward
)
but
first
springeth
from
discontent
.
What
makes
a
number
of
our
wanton
wiues
in
London
,
conspire
the
deaths
of
their
old
doting
husbands
,
but
the
discontent
of
a
death-cold
bed
?
Discontent
makes
Hereticks
.
Discontent
is
the
cause
of
al
the
Traytors
beyond
Sea
.
Discontent
,
caused
Ierusalems
house
to
be
left
desolate
vnto
her
.
Discontent
(
O
London
,
)
will
be
thy
destitution
,
if
thou
takest
not
the
better
heede
.
The
fift
Sonne
of
Pride
,
is
Contention
,
which
beeing
the
youngest
sonne
hee
hath
,
is
harder
to
be
yoked
or
kept
in
,
then
any
of
the
other
fowre
.
It
is
euer
in
Armes
,
neuer
out
of
brabblements
.
Look
what
Ambition
,
Vaine-glory
,
Atheism
,
Discontent
,
shal
consult
or
deuise
,
it
enacteth
,
and
goes
thorow
with
.
It
is
the
Lawyers
liuing
,
the
Hereticks
food
,
the
Swizers
house
and
Land
.
No
Crowne
but
he
challengeth
a
share
in
.
No
Church
but
he
will
be
of
.
On
words
,
amphibologies
,
equiuocations
,
quiddities
and
quantities
,
he
stands
.
He
hunteth
not
after
truth
,
but
strife
.
He
coueteth
not
so
much
to
ouer-come
,
as
contend
.
These
two
little
words
,
Ex
and
Per
,
(
as
Cornelius
Agrippa
hath
obserued
,
)
held
the
Greeke
&
Latine
Churches
play
,
many
yeeres
together
;
they
litigiously
debating
,
whether
the
holy
Ghost
proceeded
of
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
,
or
not
of
the
Son
,
but
of
the
Father
by
the
Sonne
.
So
this
word
Nisi
in
this
sentence
,
Nisi
manducaueritis
carnem
,
set
all
the
Counsaile
of
Basil
in
an
vprore
.
This
word
Donec
,
as
,
Ioseph
non
agnouit
vxorem
suam
donec
,
Ioseph
knew
not
his
wife
vntill
,
caused
the
Antidicomariatans
,
and
Eludians
,
to
denie
the
perpetuall
virginity
of
the
Virgine
Mary
.
With
a
thousand
such
errors
,
Contention
raiseth
his
Kingdome
.
Our
Diuines
in
these
dayes
,
(
though
they
yet
retaine
many
contentions
of
the
olde
Churches
,
)
haue
found
out
certaine
new
ones
of
their
owne
.
They
contend
about
standing
and
sitting
,
about
forms
and
substances
,
about
prescription
and
confusion
of
prayers
.
They
argue
,
An
ater
sit
contrarius
albo
,
whether
it
bee
better
to
weare
a
white
Surplesse
,
or
a
black
gowne
,
in
ministring
the
Sacraments
?
Which
is
like
the
conflict
in
Rome
,
betwixt
the
Augustine
Fryers
and
the
vulgar
Chanons
,
whether
Augustine
did
weare
a
blacke
Weede
vpon
a
white
Coate
,
or
a
white
Weede
vpon
a
black
Coate
.
Like
the
Geometritians
,
they
square
about
points
and
lines
,
and
the
vtter
shew
of
things
.
As
,
this
point
is
too-long
,
this
point
is
too-short
,
this
figure
is
too-much
affected
,
this
line
runnes
not
smooth
,
this
syllogisme
limpeth
.
As
Preachers
,
they
labour
not
to
speake
properly
,
but
intricately
.
In
stead
of
Bread
,
they
giue
the
children
of
their
Ministery
,
stones
to
throw
at
one
another
:
and
in
stead
of
Fish
,
Serpents
to
sting
one
another
.
In
the
13.
of
Mathew
,
the
Sower
that
went
foorth
to
sow
,
scattered
some
seede
by
the
high-way
side
,
which
the
Foules
of
the
ayre
peckt
vp
:
not
vnlike
to
them
,
whose
Hawkes
and
Field-sports
,
peck
vp
all
the
seeds
of
Christianity
that
should
be
sowne
in
their
hearts
;
and
a
million
of
others
,
whose
eyes
the
Foules
of
the
valley
pecke
out
,
before
the
seede
of
saluation
can
haue
any
rooting
in
their
soules
.
Other
seede
the
Sower
scattered
amongst
stones
,
and
the
Sunn
e
arising
,
it
withered
for
want
of
earth
,
resembling
these
stony
streetes
of
London
,
where
nothing
will
spring
vp
but
oppression
,
auarice
,
and
infidelitie
.
Other
seede
he
disperst
amongst
thorns
,
and
the
thornes
crept
aloft
and
choked
it
.
To
those
thornes
I
compare
these
thorny
Contentioners
,
that
choake
the
Word
of
God
,
with
foolish
controuersies
,
and
friuolous
questions
.
Euen
as
the
spirit
led
our
Sauiour
aside
into
the
Wildernesse
to
be
tempted
,
so
are
there
wicked
spirits
of
Contention
amongst
vs
,
that
leade
men
aside
into
the
woods
and
solitary
places
,
to
be
tempted
.
Let
any
(
be
he
the
veriest
block-head
vnder
heauen
,
)
raise
vp
a
faction
,
and
he
shall
be
followed
and
supported
.
Englishmen
are
all
for
innouation
,
they
are
cleane
spoiled
if
once
in
twenty
yeers
,
they
haue
not
a
new
fashion
of
religion
.
Somtimes
Vitia
sunt
ad
virtutem
occasio
,
Contention
is
the
occasion
of
seeking
out
the
truth
:
but
our
Contentions
(
for
the
most
part
)
are
the
seeking
to
prooue
truth
,
no
truth
,
after
she
is
once
found
out
:
and
preferring
probability
before
manifest
verity
.
We
will
not
try
her
by
her
Peeres
,
(
which
are
the
best
expositors
,
)
and
auncient
Fathers
,
but
by
the
literall
Law
,
either
not
expounded
,
or
new
expounded
,
without
any
Quest
of
Church
,
decretals
or
Cannons
.
Were
it
not
that
in
reprouing
Contention
,
I
might
hapely
seeme
contentious
,
I
would
wade
a
little
farther
in
this
subiect
.
Yet
it
were
to
no
end
,
since
fire
the
more
it
is
stirred
vp
,
the
more
it
burneth
:
and
heresy
,
the
more
it
is
stird
&
stroue
with
,
the
more
vntoward
it
is
.
Nought
but
sharp
discipline
is
a
fit
disputant
with
snarling
Scismatiques
.
The
Israelites
,
for
they
rooted
not
out
the
remnant
of
the
Gen●…ile
Nations
from
amongst
them
,
they
were
as
goades
in
their
sides
,
and
thornes
in
their
nostrils
:
so
if
we
root
not
out
these
remnants
of
Scismatiques
from
amongst
vs
,
they
will
be
as
goades
in
our
sides
,
and
thornes
in
our
nostrils
.
Melius
est
vt
pereat
vnus
,
quam
vt
pereat
vnitas
:
It
is
better
that
some
few
perish
,
then
vnity
perish
.
London
,
beware
of
Contention
,
thou
art
counted
the
nursing-mother
of
Contention
.
No
Sect
or
Schism
but
thou
affordest
Disciples
to
.
If
thou
beest
too
greedie
of
innouation
and
contention
,
the
sword
of
inuasion
and
ciuill
debate
,
shall
leaue
thy
house
desolate
vnto
thee
.
Now
come
I
to
the
Daughters
of
Pride
,
whereof
Disdaine
is
the
eldest
.
Disdain
is
a
vice
,
in
comparison
of
which
,
Ambition
is
a
vertue
.
It
is
the
extream
of
Ambition
.
It
is
a
kind
of
scorne
,
that
scorneth
to
be
compared
to
any
other
thing
.
None
are
more
subiect
vnto
it
then
faire
women
,
for
they
disdaine
any
one
should
bee
held
as
faire
as
they
.
They
disdaine
any
should
go
before
them
,
or
sit
aboue
them
.
They
disdaine
any
should
be
brauer
then
they
,
or
haue
more
absolute
pennes
entertained
in
their
praises
then
they
.
This
woman
disdains
any
but
she
,
should
carry
the
credit
of
wit
:
another
,
that
any
should
sing
so
sweet
as
shee
;
a
third
,
that
any
should
set
forth
the
port
and
maiesty
,
in
gate
and
behauiour
like
vnto
her
.
Onely
for
disdaine
and
preheminence
,
their
Husbands
and
their
Loues
,
they
draw
sundry
times
into
neuer-dated
quarrels
.
Such
disdaine
and
scorne
was
betwixt
the
wiues
of
Iacob
,
Rachel
and
Leah
,
because
the
one
had
children
,
and
the
other
none
.
Such
disdaine
was
betwixt
Sarah
and
Hagar
.
There
was
a
disdain
of
shouldring
amongst
the
Disciples
,
who
should
be
greatest
.
Iosephs
Brethren
,
disdained
their
Father
should
loue
him
better
then
he
did
them
.
Diues
disdained
Lazarus
.
In
London
,
the
rich
disdaine
the
poore
.
The
Courtier
the
Citizen
.
The
Citizen
the
Countriman
.
One
Occupation
disdaineth
another
.
The
Merchant
the
Retayler
.
The
Retayler
the
Craftsman
.
The
better
sort
of
Craftsmen
the
baser
.
The
Shoomaker
the
Cobler
.
The
Cobler
the
Carman
.
One
nyce
Dame
,
disdaines
her
next
neighbour
should
haue
that
furniture
to
her
house
,
or
dainty
dish
or
deuise
,
which
she
wants
.
Shee
will
not
goe
to
Church
,
because
shee
disdains
to
mixe
her selfe
with
base
companie
,
and
cannot
haue
her
close
Pue
by
her selfe
.
She
disdaines
to
weare
that
euery
one
weares
,
to
heare
that
Preacher
which
euery
one
heares
.
So
did
Ierusalem
disdain
Gods
Prophets
,
because
they
came
in
the
likenesse
of
poore
men
.
Shee
disdained
Amos
,
because
he
was
a
keeper
of
London
,
thy
house
(
except
thou
repents
)
for
thy
disdaine
,
shall
be
left
desolate
vnto
thee
.
The
second
Daughter
of
Pride
,
is
Gorgeous
attire
.
Both
the
Sonnes
and
Daughters
of
Pride
,
delight
to
go
gorgeously
.
As
Democritus
set
vp
his
brasen
shield
against
the
Sunne
,
to
the
intent
that
(
continually
gazing
on
it
,
)
he
might
with
the
bright
reflection
of
his
beamy
radiation
,
feare
out
his
eyes
,
and
see
no
more
vanities
,
so
set
they
their
rich
embroidered
sutes
against
the
Sun
,
to
dazle
,
daunt
and
spoile
poore
mens
eyes
that
looke
vpon
them
.
Like
Idols
,
not
men
,
they
apparrell
themselues
.
Blocks
and
stones
by
the
Panims
and
Infidels
,
are
ouer-gilded
,
to
be
honored
and
worshipped
:
so
ouer-gilde
they
themselues
,
to
bee
more
honored
and
worshipped
.
The
women
would
seeme
Angels
here
vpon
earth
,
for
which
(
it
is
to
be
feared
)
they
will
scarce
liue
with
the
Angels
in
heauen
.
The
end
of
Gorgeous
attyre
,
(
both
in
men
and
women
,
)
is
but
more
fully
to
enkindle
fleshly
concupiscence
,
to
assist
the
diuel
in
lustful
temptations
.
Men
thinke
that
women
(
seeing
them
so
sumptuously
pearled
&
bespangled
,
)
cannot
chuse
but
offer
to
tender
their
tender
soules
at
their
feete
.
The
women
,
they
thinke
,
that
(
hauing
naturally
cleere
beauty
,
scorchingly
blazing
,
which
enkindles
any
soule
that
comes
neere
it
,
&
adding
more
Bauines
vnto
it
of
lasciuious
embolstrings
,
)
men
should
euen
flash
their
harts
,
(
at
first
sight
,
)
into
the
purified
flames
of
their
faire
faces
.
Euer
since
Euah
was
tempted
,
and
the
Serpent
preuailed
with
her
,
women
haue
tooke
vpon
them
,
both
the
person
of
the
tempted
,
and
the
tempter
.
They
tempt
to
be
tempted
,
&
not
one
of
them
,
except
she
be
tempted
,
but
thinkes
her selfe
contemptible
.
Vnto
the
greatnesse
of
their
great
Grand-mother
Euah
,
they
seek
to
aspire
,
in
being
tempted
and
tempting
.
If
not
to
tempt
,
and
be
thought
worthy
to
be
tempted
,
why
dy
they
and
diet
they
their
face
with
so
many
drugs
as
they
do
,
as
it
were
to
correct
Gods
work-manship
,
and
reprooue
him
as
a
bungler
,
&
one
that
is
not
his
crafts
Maister
?
Why
ensparkle
they
their
eyes
with
spiritualiz'd
distillations
?
Why
tip
they
their
tongues
with
Aurum
potabile
?
Why
fill
they
vp
ages
frets
with
fresh
colours
?
Euen
as
Roses
and
flowers
in
Winter
,
are
preserued
in
close
houses
vnder
earth
,
so
preserue
they
their
beauties
,
by
continuall
lying
in
bed
.
Iust
to
Dinner
they
will
arise
,
and
after
Dinner
,
goe
to
bedde
againe
,
and
lie
vntill
Supper
.
Yea
,
sometimes
(
by
no
sicknes
occasioned
)
they
will
ly
in
bedde
three
dayes
together
:
prouided
euery
morning
before
foure
a
clock
,
they
haue
their
broths
,
and
their
cullises
,
with
Pearle
and
Gold
sodden
in
them
.
If
hapely
they
breake
their
houres
,
and
rise
more
early
to
goe
a
banquetting
they
stand
practising
halfe
a
day
with
their
Looking-glasses
,
how
to
peirce
and
to
glaunce
,
and
looke
alluringly
amiable
.
Their
feete
are
not
so
well
framed
to
the
Measures
,
as
are
their
eies
to
moue
and
bewitch
.
Euen
as
Angels
are
painted
in
Church-windowes
,
with
glorious
golden
fronts
,
besette
with
Sunne-beames
,
so
beset
they
their
fore-heads
on
either
side
,
with
glorious
borrowed
gleamy
bushes
;
which
rightly
interpreted
,
should
signifie
beauty
to
sell
,
since
a
bush
is
not
else
hanged
forth
,
but
to
inuite
men
to
buy
.
And
in
Italy
,
when
they
sette
any
Beast
to
sale
,
they
crowne
his
head
with
Garlands
,
and
be-deck
it
with
gaudy
blossoms
,
as
full
as
euer
it
may
stick
.
Their
heads
,
with
their
top
and
top
gallant
Lawnebaby
caps
,
and
Snow-resembled
siluer
curlings
,
they
make
a
plaine
Puppet
stage
of
.
Their
breasts
they
embuske
vp
on
hie
,
and
their
round
Roseate
buds
immodestly
lay
forth
,
to
shew
at
their
hands
there
is
fruite
to
be
hoped
.
In
their
curious
Antick-wouen
garments
,
they
imitate
and
mocke
,
the
Wormes
and
Adders
that
must
eate
them
.
They
shew
the
swellings
of
their
mind
,
in
the
swellings
and
plumpings
out
of
their
apparrayle
.
Gorgeous
Ladies
of
Court
,
neuer
was
I
admitted
so
nere
any
of
you
,
as
to
see
how
you
torture
poore
olde
Time
with
spunging
,
pynning
and
pounsing
:
but
they
say
his
sicle
you
haue
burst
in
twaine
,
to
make
your
Periwigs
more
eleuated
arches
of
.
I
dare
not
meddle
with
yee
,
since
the
Phylosopher
that
too
intentiuely
gaz'd
on
the
stars
,
stumbled
and
fell
into
a
ditch
:
and
many
gazing
too
immoderatly
on
our
earthly
starres
,
fal
in
the
end
into
the
ditch
of
al
vncleannesse
.
Onely
this
humble
caueat
let
me
giue
you
by
the
way
,
that
thou
looke
the
diuell
come
not
to
you
,
in
the
likenes
of
a
Taylor
or
Painter
;
that
how
euer
you
disguise
your
bodies
,
you
lay
not
on
your
colours
so
thick
,
that
they
sinke
into
your
soules
.
That
your
skinnes
being
too
white
without
,
your
soules
be
not
al
black
within
.
It
is
not
your
pinches
,
your
purles
,
your
floury
iaggings
,
superfluous
enterlacings
,
and
puffings
vp
,
that
can
any
way
offend
God
,
but
the
puffing
vp
of
your
soules
,
which
therein
you
expresse
.
For
as
the
biting
of
a
bullet
,
is
not
that
which
poisons
the
bullet
,
but
the
lying
of
the
Gunpowder
in
the
dint
of
the
biting
:
so
it
is
not
the
wearing
of
costly
burnisht
apparell
,
that
shall
bee
obiected
vnto
you
for
sinne
,
but
the
pride
of
your
harts
,
which
(
like
the
Moath
)
lies
closely
shrouded
amongst
the
thirds
of
that
apparell
.
Nothing
else
is
garish
apparell
,
but
Prides
vlcer
broken
forth
.
How
will
you
attire
your selues
,
what
gowne
,
what
head-tire
will
you
put
on
,
when
you
shall
liue
in
Hell
amongst
Haggs
and
diuels
?
As
many
iagges
,
blisters
and
scarres
,
shall
Toades
,
Cankers
and
Serpents
,
make
on
your
pure
skinnes
in
the
graue
,
as
now
you
haue
cuts
,
iagges
or
raysings
,
vpon
your
garments
.
In
the
marrow
of
your
bones
snakes
shall
breede
.
Your
morne-like
christall
countenances
,
shall
be
netted
ouer
,
and
(
Masker-like
)
cawle-visarded
,
with
crawling
venemous
wormes
.
Your
orient
teeth
,
Toades
shall
steale
into
their
heads
for
pearle
;
Of
the
ielly
of
your
decaied
eyes
,
shall
they
engender
them
young
.
In
their
hollow
Caues
,
(
their
transplendent
iuyce
so
pollutionately
employd
,
)
shelly
Snailes
shall
keepe
house
.
O
what
is
beauty
more
then
a
wind-blowne
bladder
,
that
it
should
forget
whereto
it
is
borne
.
It
is
the
foode
of
cloying-concupiscence
liuing
,
and
the
substance
of
the
most
noysome
infection
being
dead
.
The
Mothers
of
the
iustest
men
are
not
freed
from
corruption
,
the
Mothers
of
Kings
&
Emperors
are
not
freed
from
corruption
.
No
gorgeous
attire
(
man
or
woman
)
hast
thou
in
this
world
,
but
the
wedding
garment
of
faith
.
Thy
winding-sheete
shall
see
thee
in
none
of
thy
silks
or
shining
robes
;
To
shew
they
are
not
of
God
,
when
thou
goest
to
God
,
thou
shalt
lay
them
al
of
.
Then
shalt
thou
restore
to
euery
creature
,
what
thou
hast
robd
him
of
.
All
the
Leases
which
dust
let
out
to
life
,
at
the
day
of
death
shall
be
returned
againe
into
his
hands
.
In
skins
of
beastes
Adam
and
Eue
were
clothed
,
in
nought
but
thine
owne
skinne
,
at
the
day
of
iudgement
shalt
thou
be
clothed
.
If
thou
beest
more
deformed
,
then
the
age
wherin
thou
diedst
shold
make
thee
,
the
diuel
shal
stand
vp
and
certifie
,
that
with
painting
&
physicking
thy
visage
,
thou
so
deformedst
it
;
Whereto
God
shall
reply
,
What
haue
I
to
doe
with
thee
,
thou
painted
sepulcher
?
Thou
hast
so
differenced
&
diuorced
thy selfe
from
thy
creation
,
that
I
know
not
thee
for
my
creature
.
The
print
of
my
finger
thou
hast
defaced
,
and
with
Arts-vanishing
varnishment
,
made
thy self
a
changeling
from
the
forme
I
first
cast
thee
in
;
Sathan
take
her
to
thee
,
with
blacke
boyling
Pitch
,
rough
cast
ouer
her
counterfeit
red
and
white
:
and
whereas
she
was
wont
,
in
Asses
milke
to
bathe
her
,
to
engraine
her
skin
more
gentle
,
plyant
,
delicate
and
supple
,
in
bubling
scalding
Lead
,
and
fatty
flame-feeding
Brimstone
,
see
thou
vncessantly
bathe
her
.
With
glowing
hot
yrons
,
sindge
and
sucke
vp
that
adulterized
sinfull
beauty
,
wherewith
she
hath
branded
her selfe
to
infelicity
.
O
female
pride
,
this
is
but
the
dalliance
of
thy
doom
but
the
intermissiue
recreation
of
thy
torments
.
Th
greatnesse
of
thy
paines
I
want
portentous
words
t●…
portray
.
Wherein
soeuer
thou
hast
tooke
extream
de
light
and
glory
,
therein
shalt
thou
be
plagued
with
extreame
&
despiteous
malady
.
For
thy
flaring
frounzed
Periwigs
,
lowe
dangled
downe
with
loue
lockes
,
shalt
thou
haue
thy
head
side
,
dangled
downe
with
more
Snakes
then
euer
it
had
hayres
.
In
the
moulde
of
thy
braine
,
shall
they
claspe
their
mouthes
,
and
gnawing
through
euery
part
of
thy
scull
,
ensnarle
their
teeth
amongst
thy
braines
,
as
an
Angler
ensnarleth
his
hooke
amongst
weedes
.
For
thy
rich
borders
,
shalt
thou
haue
a
number
of
discoloured
Scorpions
rould
vp
together
,
and
Cockatrices
that
kill
with
their
verie
sight
,
shall
continually
stand
spirting
fiery
poyson
in
thine
eyes
.
In
the
hollow
Caue
of
thy
mouth
,
Basiliskes
shall
keepe
house
,
and
supply
thy
talke
with
hissing
when
thou
striuest
to
speak
.
At
thy
breasts
(
as
at
Cleopatras
)
Aspisses
shal
be
put
out
to
nurse
.
For
thy
Carcanets
of
pearle
,
shalt
thou
haue
Carcanets
of
Spiders
,
or
the
greene
venemous
flies
Cantharides
.
Hels

To

Banish

But

Certaine

are
miserable
,
in
their
apparel
will
be
prodigall
.
No
Land
can
so
vnfallibly
experience
this
Prouerbe
,
The
hoode
makes
not
the
Monke
,
as
thou
:
for
Tailors
,
Seruing-men
,
Make-shifts
and
Gentlemen
,
in
thee
are
confounded
.
For
the
compasment
of
brauery
,
wee
haue
them
will
rob
,
steale
,
cosen
,
cheate
,
betray
their
owne
Fathers
,
sweare
and
forsweare
,
or
doe
any
thing
.
Take
away
brauery
,
you
kill
the
heart
of
lust
and
incontinencie
.
Wherfore
do
men
make
themselues
braue
,
but
to
riot
and
to
reuell
?
Looke
after
what
state
their
apparell
is
,
that
state
they
take
to
them
and
carry
,
and
after
a
little
accustoming
to
that
carriage
,
perswade
themselues
they
are
such
indeede
.
Apparell
,
more
then
any
thing
,
bewrayeth
his
wearers
mind
.
All
sorts
couet
in
it
to
exceed
.
Old
age
I
exclude
,
for
that
couets
nought
but
gold
couetise
.
None
(
in
a
manner
)
fore-cast
for
their
soules
,
they
suffer
them
to
go
naked
,
with
no
good
deeds
will
they
cloth
them
.
They
let
them
freeze
to
death
for
want
of
the
garment
offaith
:
they
famish
and
starue
them
,
in
not
supplying
them
with
ghostly
cherishment
.
O
soule
,
of
all
humane
parts
the
most
diuinest
&
soueraignest
,
of
al
the
rest
art
thou
the
most
despicable
and
wretched
?
Not
any
part
of
the
body
but
thou
consultest
and
carest
for
.
To
euery
part
is
thy
care
more
auaileable
then
thy self
.
Impart
but
the
tenths
of
it
on
thy selfe
,
be
not
more
curious
of
a
wimple
or
spot
in
thy
vesture
,
then
thou
art
of
spotting
and
thorow-stayning
thy
deere-bought
Spirit
,
with
ten
thousand
abhominations
.
Whiles
the
good
Angel
of
mercy
,
stirres
about
the
blood-springing
Poole
of
expiation
,
haste
thou
to
bathe
in
it
.
Thou
canst
not
bathe
in
it
effectually
,
vnlesse
thou
strip
thy selfe
cleane
out
of
the
attyre
of
sinne
.
All
gorgeous
attire
,
is
the
attire
of
sinne
.
The
fraile
flesh
wherein
thou
art
inuested
,
is
nothing
but
a
sin-battred
Armour
,
with
many
strokes
of
temptations
assaulted
&
brused
,
to
breake
into
thee
and
surprise
thee
.
Watch
&
pray
,
that
thou
be
not
supprised
.
In
vaine
is
thy
prayer
against
sin
,
except
thou
watchest
also
to
preuent
sinne
.
We
here
in
London
,
what
for
dressing
our selues
,
following
our
worldly
affaires
,
dining
,
supping
and
keeping
company
,
haue
no
leisure
,
not
only
not
to
watch
against
sinne
,
but
not
so
much
as
once
to
thinke
of
sinne
.
In
bedde
,
wiues
must
question
their
husbands
about
house-keeping
,
and
prouiding
for
their
children
and
famile
.
No
seruice
must
God
expect
of
vs
,
but
a
little
in
Lent
,
and
in
sicknes
&
aduersity
.
Our
gorgeous
attire
,
we
make
not
to
serue
him
,
but
to
serue
the
flesh
.
If
he
were
pleased
with
it
,
why
did
they
euer
in
the
old
Law
,
(
when
they
presented
themselues
before
him
,
in
fasting
and
prayer
,
)
rentit
off
their
backs
,
&
put
on
course
Sack-cloth
and
ashes
?
No
lifting
vp
a
mans
selfe
that
God
likes
,
but
the
lifting
vp
of
the
Spirit
in
prayer
.
One
thing
it
is
for
a
man
to
lift
vp
himselfe
to
God
,
another
thing
to
lift
vp
himself
against
God
.
In
pranking
vp
our
carcases
too
proudly
,
we
lift
vp
our
flesh
against
God
.
In
lifting
vp
our
flesh
,
we
depresse
our
spirits
.
London
,
lay
off
thy
gorgeous
attire
,
and
cast
downe
thy selfe
before
God
in
contrition
and
prayer
,
least
hee
cast
thee
downe
in
his
indignation
into
hell-fire
.
Greeuously
hast
thou
offended
,
and
transgressed
against
his
diuine
maiesty
,
in
turning
that
to
pride
,
which
was
alotted
thee
for
a
punishment
.
His
workemanship
thou
hast
scorned
,
and
counted
imperfect
without
thine
owne
additions
put
to
it
.
Thou
hast
contended
,
to
be
a
more
beautifull
Creator
and
repolisher
of
thy selfe
,
then
he
.
His
owne
workmanship
thou
hast
made
him
out
of
loue
with
,
,
by
altering
and
deforming
it
at
thy
pleasure
.
There
is
no
workman
,
that
regardeth
or
esteemeth
his
owne
workmanship
,
after
it
is
translated
and
transposed
by
others
.
Except
thou
quickly
vndoest
and
with-drawest
all
thy
ouer-working
,
he
will
(
in
wreakfull
recompence
that
thou
hast
so
disgrac't
him
,
)
alter
thee
,
deforme
thee
,
translate
thee
,
transpose
thee
,
and
leaue
thy
house
desolate
vnto
thee
.
The
last
Daughter
of
Pride
,
is
Delicacy
,
vnder
which
is
contained
,
Gluttony
,
Luxury
,
Sloth
,
&
Security
.
But
properly
,
Delicacy
is
the
sinne
of
our
London
Dames
.
So
delicate
are
they
in
their
dyet
,
so
dainty
and
puling
fine
in
their
speech
,
so
tiptoe-nice
in
treading
on
the
earth
,
as
though
they
walkt
vpon
Snakes
,
and
fear'd
to
treade
hard
,
least
they
should
turne
againe
.
Their
houses
,
so
pickedly
and
neately
must
be
trickt
vp
and
tapistred
,
as
if
(
like
Abraham
or
Lot
,
)
they
were
to
receiue
Angels
.
The
floare
vnder
foote
,
glisteringly
rubbed
and
glased
,
that
a
Iew
(
if
he
should
behold
it
,
)
would
suspect
it
for
Holy
ground
.
Nothing
about
them
,
but
is
wealth-boastingly
,
and
elaborately
beautified
:
onely
their
soules
they
keepe
poore
&
beggerly
.
Iob
scrapt
his
sores
with
a
potshard
,
if
they
haue
any
sore
,
or
noisome
malady
about
them
,
they
will
ouer-gilde
it
,
and
make
it
seem
more
amiable
then
any
other
part
of
the
body
.
Their
habitations
they
make
so
resplendent
and
pleasurable
on
earth
,
that
they
haue
no
mind
to
goe
to
heauen
.
Into
heauens
pleasures
they
cannot
see
,
for
their
eyes
are
dazled
with
terrestiall
delights
.
Those
that
will
haue
their
harts
thorowly
enflamed
,
with
the
ioies
of
the
world
to
come
,
must
place
no
ioy
in
this
world
,
nor
frame
to
themselues
any
obiect
that
may
too
much
content
.
They
must
haue
somthing
euermore
to
amate
and
check
their
felicity
,
and
with
Macedon
Philip
,
to
remember
them
of
mortalitie
.
Delicacy
is
nought
but
the
art
of
security
,
and
forgetting
mortality
.
It
is
a
kind
of
Alchimical
quintessensing
a
heauen
out
of
earth
.
It
is
the
exchanging
of
an
eternall
heauen
,
for
a
short
momentary
,
imperfect
heauen
.
Blessed
are
they
,
that
by
pining
and
excruciating
their
bodies
,
liue
in
hell
here
on
earth
,
to
auoid
the
hell
neuer
ending
.
Many
of
the
Saints
and
Martyrs
of
the
Primitiue
Church
,
when
they
might
haue
spent
their
daies
in
all
affluence
and
delicacy
,
and
liu'd
out
of
gunshot
of
misery
,
haue
notwithstanding
,
tooke
vnto
them
the
contemptiblest
pouerty
that
might
be
.
They
haue
abandoned
all
their
goods
and
possessions
,
and
in
the
Wildernesse
conuersed
with
penurie
and
scarcity
,
to
beate
downe
and
keepe
vnder
their
rebellious
flesh
.
Some
of
them
haue
drunk
puddle
water
,
&
fed
on
the
lothsomest
things
that
might
be
,
to
bring
their
affection
out
of
loue
with
this
transitory
infelicity
:
Some
of
them
haue
grated
&
rawed
their
smooth
tender
skinnes
,
with
haire
shirts
and
rough
garments
,
that
they
might
liue
in
vncessant
smart
,
&
take
no
ease
or
rest
in
this
life
,
where
no
rest
or
ease
is
to
be
taken
vp
but
only
a
watch-mans
lodge
,
to
soiourne
in
for
a
night
:
or
such
a
house
as
the
Moath
buildeth
in
a
garment
.
Others
all
naked
,
on
sharpe
shreds
of
broken
flint
,
and
fragments
of
of
potsheards
,
haue
spred
their
weary
limbs
,
that
lust
in
their
sleepe
might
not
assaile
them
.
Holy
S.
Ierome
,
in
the
Desert
thou
builts
thee
a
Cell
,
to
liue
out
of
the
haunts
of
concupiscence
,
where
parched
and
broiled
in
Sommer
,
with
the
raging
beames
of
the
Sun
,
and
quiuering
and
quaking
in
Winter
,
all
riueld
and
weather-beaten
,
with
the
sharp
driuing
shours
,
and
freezing
Northern-winde
,
thou
drunkest
no
kind
of
liquor
,
but
the
Ice-chilled
water
from
the
cold
Fountain
,
nor
eats
any
meate
but
tough
dried
roots
.
On
the
bare
ground
thou
lodgedst
,
and
with
abstinence
and
want
of
sleepe
,
lookedst
pale
and
wan
.
This
didst
thou
to
mortifie
thy
insurrectiue
masse
of
corruption
.
This
didst
thou
to
teach
mortification
and
sobriety
,
to
these
licentious
times
of
ours
.
No
course
doe
wee
take
to
mortifie
the
Lawe
of
our
members
:
all
mortification
,
we
censure
by
the
name
of
superstition
,
our
fasts
are
no
fasts
,
but
preparatiues
to
Euening
feasts
:
our
mourning
is
like
the
mourning
of
an
Heyre
,
who
then
laughes
inward
,
when
hee
weepes
most
outward
.
It
is
not
prayer
alone
may
kill
the
olde
man
in
vs
,
either
it
must
be
sanctified
and
assisted
with
fasting
&
abstinence
,
or
it
cannot
cast
out
a
spirit
of
such
might
.
It
is
heauenly
policy
as
well
as
humane
policie
,
to
weaken
our
enemy
before
we
fight
with
him
.
Wee
must
weaken
our
enemy
&
Gods
enemy
,
the
flesh
,
with
abstinence
and
fasting
,
before
we
fight
with
him
,
or
els
he
will
be
too
strong
for
vs
.
Physitions
minister
Purgations
before
they
apply
any
Medicine
.
Surgions
lay
Corsiues
to
any
wound
,
to
eate
out
the
dead-flesh
ere
they
can
cure
it
.
Abstinence
and
fasting
,
are
as
Corasiues
to
eate
out
the
dead-flesh
of
gluttony
,
drunkennes
,
&
concupiscence
in
our
loins
,
which
so
proiected
and
eaten
out
,
Christ
is
that
kind
Samaritan
that
will
come
and
bind
vp
our
wounds
,
&
carrie
vs
home
with
him
,
to
his
house
or
Kingdome
euerlasting
.
Thus
much
of
Delecacy
in
generall
,
now
more
particularly
of
his
first
branch
,
Gluttony
:
which
if
any
Country
vnder
heauen
be
culpable
of
England
is
.
All
our
friendship
&
curtesie
,
is
nothing
but
gluttony
.
Great
men
shew
their
state
&
magnificence
in
nothing
so
much
as
gluttony
.
The
birth
day
of
our
Sauiour
,
his
Resurrection
and
Ascension
,
wee
honour
onely
with
gluttony
.
How
many
Cookes
,
Apothecaries
,
Confectioners
;
and
Vintners
in
London
,
grow
pursie
by
gluttonie
?
Vnder
Gluttony
,
I
shrowde
not
onely
excesse
in
meate
,
but
in
drink
also
.
Our
full
platters
and
our
plentifull
cups
,
vnapt
vs
to
any
exercise
of
Christianitie
or
prayer
.
We
do
nothing
but
fatten
our
soules
to
Hell-fire
.
Our
bodies
we
bumbast
and
balist
with
engorging
diseases
.
Diseases
shorten
our
daies
,
therfore
whosoeuer
englutteth
himselfe
,
is
guilty
of
his
owne
death
and
damnation
.
Qui
diligit
epulas
(
sayth
Salomon
)
in
egestate
erit
.
Venter
maero
aestuans
dispumat
libidinem
.
The
belly
abounding
with
wine
and
good
cheere
,
vomiteth
forth
lust
.
Gluttony
were
no
sinne
,
or
not
so
heynous
as
it
is
,
did
it
not
pluck
on
a
number
of
other
heynous
sinnes
with
it
:
or
that
wee
so
engorging
our selues
,
infinite
of
our
poore
brethren
,
hungerd
&
staru'd
not
in
the
streets
,
for
want
of
the
least
dish
on
our
Tables
.
Very
largely
haue
I
inueighed
against
this
vice
elsewhere
,
wherefore
heere
I
will
trusse
it
vp
more
succinct
;
Text
vpon
Text
I
could
heape
,
to
shew
the
inconuenience
of
it
.
In
London
I
could
exemplify
it
by
many
note-worthy
specialties
,
but
in
so
doing
,
I
should
but
lay
downe
what
euery
one
knowes
,
and
purchase
no
thank
for
my
labour
.
To
my
iourneys
end
I
haste
,
&
discend
to
the
second
continent
of
Delicacy
,
which
is
Lust
,
or
Luxury
.
In
complaining
of
it
,
I
am
afraid
I
shal
defile
good
words
,
and
too-long
detaine
my
Readers
.
It
is
a
sin
that
now
serueth
in
London
,
in
steade
of
an
after-noones
recreation
It
is
a
trade
,
that
heretofore
thriued
in
huggermugger
,
but
of
late
dayes
,
walketh
openly
by
day-light
,
like
a
substantiall
graue
Merchant
.
Of
his
name
or
profession
,
he
is
not
ashamed
:
at
the
first
being
askt
of
it
,
hee
will
confesse
it
.
Into
the
hart
of
the
City
is
vncleannes
crept
.
Great
Patrons
it
hath
got
:
almost
none
are
punisht
for
it
that
haue
a
good
purse
.
Euery
Quean
vants
her selfe
of
some
or
other
man
of
Nobility
.
London
what
are
thy
Suburbes
but
licensed
Stewes
.
Can
it
be
so
many
brothel-houses
,
of
salary
sensuality
,
and
six-penny
whoredome
,
(
the
next
doore
to
the
Magistrates
)
should
be
set
vp
and
maintained
,
if
bribes
did
not
bestirre
them
?
I
accuse
none
,
but
certainly
iustice
some-where
is
corrupted
.
Whole
Hospitals
of
tenne
times
a
day
dishonested
strumpets
,
haue
we
cloistred
together
.
Night
&
day
the
entrance
vnto
them
,
is
as
free
as
to
a
Tauerne
.
Not
one
of
them
but
hath
a
hundred
retayners
.
Prentises
and
poore
seruants
,
they
encourage
to
rob
their
Masters
.
Gentlemens
purses
and
pockets
,
they
will
diue
into
and
picke
,
euen
whiles
they
are
dallying
with
them
.
No
Smithfield
ruffianly
Swashbuckler
,
wil
come
off
with
such
harsh
hell-raking
othes
as
they
.
Euery
one
of
them
is
a
Gentlewoman
,
and
either
the
wife
of
two
husbands
,
or
a
bedde-wedded
Bride
before
shee
was
tenne
yeeres
old
.
The
speech-shunning
sores
,
and
sightircking
botches
of
their
vnsatiate
intemperance
,
they
wil
vnblushingly
lay
forth
,
and
iestingly
brag
of
,
where
euer
they
haunt
.
To
Church
they
neuer
repaire
.
Not
in
all
their
whole
life
would
they
heare
of
God
,
if
it
were
not
for
their
huge
swearing
and
forswearing
by
him
.
I
am
halfe
of
belief
it
is
not
a
reasonable
soule
,
which
effecteth
motion
and
speech
in
them
,
but
a
soule
imitating
the
diuel
,
who
(
the
more
to
despite
God
,
)
goes
and
enliueth
such
licentious
shapes
,
and
(
in
them
)
enacteth
more
abhomination
and
villany
,
then
he
could
in
the
euillest
of
euill
functions
,
which
is
,
in
diuelling
it
simply
.
I
wonder
there
is
any
of
these
sher
etayling
bodietraffiquers
,
which
when
a
man
commeth
to
try
them
,
wil
easily
credit
him
to
be
a
man
,
and
not
rather
suspect
him
to
be
a
forme-shifting
diuel
,
disguised
in
mans
likenesse
.
Vtterly
are
they
giuen
ouer
to
the
diuel
,
and
he
is
their
God
,
since
they
serue
him
and
not
God
.
With
many
of
their
mercenary
predecessors
,
in
the
proportion
of
men

haue
diuels
had

copulation

A
guilty
conscience
hath
occasion
to
distrust
euery
thing

Sathan
would
thinke
it
a
dishonour
to
him
,
if
hee
should
not
tempt
and
win
vnto
him
,
those
whom
weak-witted
man
can
tempt
and
winne
vnto
him
.
Neuer
will
they
resist
Sathans
temptations
,
that
cannot
resist
the
temptations
of
a
fleshly
tongue

In
a
damnable
state
are
you

Oye
excrementall
vessels
of

In
selling
your
bodies
to

you
sell
them
to
the
diuell

and
with
a
little
money
he
buyes
them
at
your
hands
from
Christ

that
paid
so
deere
a
price
for
them

Halfe
a

is
the

The

needeth
neuer
to
tempt
her
,
when
for
so
small

value
he
may
haue
her

Wee
hate
and
cry
out
against
them

that
like
Turkes

Moores
sell
their
Christian

how

we
to

Those

doe
not

much
alter
Gods
image

(
by

as
these
doe
,
by
debasing
themselues
to
euery
one
that
brings
coyne

Ere
they
come
to
forty
,
you
shall
see
them
worne

the

At
twenty
their
liuely
colour
is
lost

their

sodden

These

with
quickning
&
conceiuing
,
get
gold
.
The
soules
they
bring
forth
,
at
the
latter

shall
stand
vp
and
giue
euidence
against

The
diuell
to
enfranchise
them
of

,
shall
do
no
more
but
produce
the
mis-begotten
of
their

.
Those
that
haue
been
dayly
fornicatresses
and
yet
are
vnfruitfull
,
hee
shall
accuse
of
ten
thousand
murders
,
by
confusion
of
seeds
,
and
barrayning
their
wombes
by
drugges
.
There
is
no
such
murder
on
the
face
of
the
earth
as
a
whore
.
Not
onely
shall
she
be
araigned
&
impeached
,
of
defeating
an
infinite
number
of
Gods
images
:
but
of
defacing
and
destroying
the
moulde
,
wherin
he
hath
appointed
them
to
be
cast
.
To
whom
much
is
giuen

of

shall
much
be
required
.
God
hauing
giuen
them
excellent
gifts
of
beauty
&
wit
,
requireth
at
their
hands
excellent
increase
of
them
,
which
when
he
shall
find
contrary
,
he
will
conuert
the
excesse
of
his
graces

,
to
the
excess
of
scourges

Tel
me
you
dissolute
harlots
,
what
increase
do
you
render
to
God
of
your

,
or
your
beauties
,
but
wantonnesse
?
The
vnworthiest
are
you
of
life
,
of
anie
that
liue
.
All
your
life
time
you
doe
nothing
but
spoile
others
,
and
spoile
your selues
.
You
mar
your
minds
and
your
beauties
both
at
once
,
by
putting
them
out
to
bad
vses
.
What
are
you
but

If

Watchman
what
seest

what
seest
thou
in

He
would
answer
,
I
see
a
number
of
whores
making
men
drunke
,
to
cosen
them
of
their
money
.
I
see
others
of
them
,
sharing
halfe
with
the
Baudes
their
Hostesses
,
&
laughing
at
the
Punies
they
haue
lurched
.
Others
meeting
with
their

Paramours
in
the
darke
,
to
whom
they
deliuer
what
they
haue
been
getting
all
day
from
a
dozen
.
I
see
reuelling
,
dauncing
,
and
banqueting
til
midnight
.
I
see
a
number
of
wiues
cockolding
their
husbands
,
vnder
pretence
of
going
to
their
next
neighbours
labour
.
I
see
Gentlewomen
,
baking
in
their
painting
on
their
faces
,
by
the
fire
,
and
burning
out
many
pounds
of
Candle
in
pinning
their
treble
rebaters
,
when
they
will
not
bestow
the
snuffe
of
a
light
in
looking
on
anie
good
Book
.
I
see
theft
,
murder
and
conspiracie
,
following
their
businesse
very
closely
.
What
would
you
haue
more
?
Those
whom
the
Sunne
sees
not
in
a
month
together
,
I
now
see
in
their
cups
and
their
iolitie
.
Well
conceited
was
the
Italian
,
who
writ
the
Supplication
to
Candle-light
,
earnestly
desiring
her
by
writing
,
to
disclose
vnto
him
,
the
rare
secrets
she
saw
in
her
Emperie
.
One
iudgement
day
is
scarce
enough
for
God
,
to
take
the
confession
alone
of
Candle-light
.
He
had
need
of
a
night
iudgement
as
well
as
a
day
,
to
endite
the
sinners
of
the
night
.
Prouident
Iustices
,
to
whom
these
abuses
redress
appertaineth
,
take
a
little
paines
to
visite
these
houses
of
hospitality
by
night
,
and
you
shall
see
what
Courtes
of
good
fellowship
they
keepe
.
Hoyse
vp
Baudes
in
the
Subsidy
booke
,
for
the
plenty
they
liue
in
,
is
princely
.
A
great
office
is
not
so
gainful
,
as
the
principalship
of
a
Colledge
of
Curtizans
.
No
Merchant
in
riches
,
may
compare
with
those
Merchants
of
maiden-heads
,
if
their
female
Inmates
were
not
so
fleeting
&
vncertaine
.
This
is
a
trick
amongst
all
Baudes
,
they
will
faine
themselues
to
be
zealous
Catholiques
:
and
whereas
they
dare
not
come
to
Church
,
or
into
any
open
assembly
,
for
wonring
and
howting
at
,
they
pretend
scrupulosity
of
conscience
,
and
that
they
refraine
only
for
religion
.
So
if
they
be
imprisoned
or
carried
to
Bridewell
for
their
baudrie
,
they
giue
out
they
suffer
for
the
Church
.
Great
cunning
doe
they
ascribe
to
their
Art
,
as
the
discerning
(
by
the
very
countenance
)
a
man
that
hath
Crownes
in
his
purse
:
the
fine
closing
in
with
the
next
Iustice
,
or
Aldermans
deputy
of
the
warde
:
the
winning
loue
of
neighbours
round
about
,
to
repell
violence
,
if
haply
their
houses
should
be
enuirond
,
or
any
in
them
proue
vnruly
,
(
being
pilled

vnconscionably

in

In

Thus
haue
they
euasions
for

,
and
are
neuer
(

)
brought
in

when

breake

better
were

The

would
count

if
I
should
vnrip

so

of

I

lookt

I
am
weary
of
recapitulating
their
roguery
.
I
would
those
that
should
reforme
it
,
would
take
but
halfe
the
paines
in
supplanting
it
,
that
I
haue
done
in

Repent
,
repent
,
you
ruines
of

,
recouer
your
soules
though
you
haue
sudded
your
bodies
.
Let
not
your
feete
be
fast
locked
in
the
mire
of
pollution
.
Meditate
but
what
a
brutish
thing
it
is
,
how
short
lasting
,
and
but
a
minute
contentiue
.
If
you
should
lend
it
(
from
the
beginning
to
the
ending
,
)
but
sutable
descriptionate
politure
,
or
if
with
your
eies
,
you
could
but
view
the
meeting
of
venoms
,
I
know
it
would
worke
in
some
of
you
an
abiuring
dislike
.
Consider
but
what
lothsome
things
are
engendred
of
the
excesse
of
it
,
and
how
the
soule
(
which
was
made
to
mount
vpward
,
)
in
the
heate
of
it
descends
downward
.
Sinne

of
your selues
(

haue
you
,
you
need
haue
no
sinne
put
into
you
.
Your
flesh
of
the
own
accord
,
will
corrupt
faster
then
you
would
,
though
you
corrupt
it
not
before
his
time
,
with
inordinate
carnall
sluttishnes
.
Make
not
your
bodies
stinking
dungeons
for
diseases
to
dwell
in
:
imprison
not
your
soules
in

To
you

There
is
a
certaine
kind
of
good
sloth
,
as
to
be
slowe
to
anger
,
slowe
to
iudgement
,
slowe
to
reuenge
.
But
there
is
a
sloth
vnto
iudgement
,
which
is
also
an
il
sloth
.
As
when
a
poore
mans
cause
hangs
so
long
in
Court
ere
it
can
be
decided
,
that
through
the
Iudges
sloth
he
is
vndone
with
following
of
it
.
There
is
a
sloth
also
in
punishing
sin
,
as
when
Magistrates
will
haue
their
eyes
put
out
with
gifts
,
and
will
not
see
it
,
but
wink
at
it
,
till
they
be
broad
waked
with
the
general
cry
of
the
Common-wealth
.
There
is
a
sloth
of
Souldioury
,
as
of
those
that
come
from
the
warres
,
and
wil
not
fall
to
any
thing
afterward
,
but
cosen
,
begge
and
robbe
.
There
is
a
sloth
of
the
Ministry
,
as
of
those
that
after
they
be
Beneficed
,
will
neuer
preach
.
Doth
the
wild
Asse
bray
,
saith
Iob
,
when
he
hath
grasse
,
or
loweth
the
Oxe
when
he
hath
fodder
?
No
more
do
a
great
sort
of
our
Diuines
after
they
haue
liuing
.
They
haue
learned
to
spare
their
tongue
against
they
are
to
plead
for
greater
preferment
.
So
haue
a
number
of
Lawyers
learned
to
spare
their
eares
,
against
golden
Aduocates
come
to
plead
to
them
.
They
cannot
heare
except
their
eares
bee
rubd
with
the
oyle
of
Angels
:
they
must
haue
a
spur
to
prick
on
an
old
dogg
,
a
few
Spurrials
to
remedy
deafnes
.
Others
there
are
(
though
not
of
the
same
order
)
that
can
neuer
heare
,
but
when
they
are
flattered
,
and
they
cry
continually
to
their
Preachers
,
Loquere
nobis
placentia
,
Loquere
nobis
placentia
.
Speak
to
vs
nothing
but
pleasing
How
the
Lord
hath
begunne
to
leaue
our
house
desolate
vnto
vs
,
let
vs
enter
into
the
consideration
therof
with
our selues
.
At
this
instant
is
a
generall
plague
disperst
throughout
our
Land
.
No
voice
is
heard
in
our
streets
,
but
that
of
Ieremy
,
Call
for
the
mourning
women
,
that
they
may
come
and
take
vp
a
lamentation
for
vs
,
for
death
is
come
into
our
windowes
,
and
entred
into
our
Palaces
.
God
hath
striken
vs
but
we
haue
not
sorrowed
,
of
Ezechiel
,
They
wil
not
heare
thee
,
for
they
will
not
heare
There
was
one
come
into
the
world
more
mighty
then
he
,
that
carried
his
fan
in
his
hand
,
So
say
I
,
there
is
one
come
into
the
world
,
more
mighty
then
the
word
preached
,
which
is
,
the
Lord
in
this
present
visitation
:
He
carrieth
his
fanne
in
his
hand
to
purge
his
Floore
.
All
the
chaffe
of
carnall
Gospellers
,
that
are
blowne
from
him
with
euery
wind
of
vanity
or
adu●…sity
,
he
shall
purge
from
amongst
you
.
A
time
of
springing
and
growing
haue
we
had
,
now
is
our
mercifull
Father
come
to
demaund
fruite
of
vs
.
The
fruite
of
faith
,
the
fruit
of
good
workes
,
the
fruite
of
patience
and
long
suffering
.
If
he
find
no
fruit
on
vs
,
he
wil
say
to
vs
as
hee
sayd
to
the
Figge-tree
,
on
which
he
found
nothing
but
leaues
,
Neuer
fruite
grow
on
thee
henceforward
.
And
incontinent
it
withered
,
and
incontinent
Lord
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
,
Lord
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
,
O
Son
of
Dauid
,
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
:
and
loe
,
our
eyes
haue
beene
opened
,
the
light
of
the
Gospell
hath
appeared
vnto
vs
;
But
(
like
those
blind-men
)
after
our
eyes
were
opened
,
after
the
light
of
the
Gospel
hath
appeared
vnto
vs
,
we
haue
refused
to
follow
Christ
.
You
Vsurers
and
Engrossers
of
Corne
by
your
hoording
vp
of
gold
and
graine
,
till
it
is
mould
,
rusty
,
Moath-eaten
,
and
almost
infects
the
ayre
with
the
stinch
,
you
haue
taught
God
to
hoord
vp
your
iniquities
and
transgressions
,
till
mouldinesse
,
putrifaction
and
mustinesse
,
enforceth
him
to
open
them
,
and
being
opened
,
they
so
poison
the
ayre
with
their
ill
sauour
,
that
from
them
proceedeth
this
perilsome
contagion
.
The
Land
is
full
of
adulteries
,
&
for
this
cause
the
Land
mourneth
.
The
How
long
(
saith
Ieremy
)
shall
the
Land
mourne
,
and
the
hearbes
of
euery
field
wither
,
for
the
wickednesse
of
the
Inhabitants
that
dwell
therein
?
Our
Land
mournes
for
the
sicknesse
,
the
hearbes
of
the
field
haue
withered
for
want
of
raine
,
yet
will
no
man
depart
from
his
wickednesse
.
Post
ouer
the
Plague
to
what
naturall
cause
you
will
,
I
Positiuely
affirme
it
is
for
sinne
.
For
sinne
(
sayd
the
Lord
by
the
forenamed
Ieremy
,
)
I
will
smite
the
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem
,
and
man
and
beast
shall
die
of
a
great
pestilence
.
I
will
bring
a
Plague
vpon
you
,
that
whosoeuer
heareth
of
it
,
his
eares
shall
tingle
.
Eyther
take
away
the
cause
,
or
there
is
no
remouing
of
the
effect
.
London
,
thou
art
the
seeded
Garden
of
sinne
,
the
Seathat
sucks
in
all
the
scummy
chanels
of
the
Realme
.
The
honestest
in
thee
,
(
for
the
most
,
)
are
either
Lawyers
or
Vsurers
.
Deceit
is
that
which
aduanceth
the
greater
sorte
of
thy
chiefest
;
Let
them
looke
that
their
ritches
shall
rust
and
canker
,
being
wet
&
dewed
with
Orphans
teares
.
The
Lord
thinketh
,
it
were
as
good
for
him
to
kill
with
the
Plague
,
as
to
let
them
kill
with
oppression
.
He
beholdeth
from
on
hie
al
subtile
conueiances
,
and
recognisances
.
He
beholdeth
how
they
peruert
foundations
,
and
will
not
bestow
the
Bequeathers
free
almes
,
but
for
brybes
,
or
for
friendship
.
I
pray
God
they
take
not
the
like
course
,
in
preferring
poore
mens
children
into
their
Hospitals
,
and
conuerting
the
impotents
mony
to
their
pryuate
vsury
.
God
likewise
beholdeth
how
to
beguile
a
sely
young
Gentleman
of
his
Land
,
they
will
crouch
cap
in
hande
,
play
the
Brokers
,
Baudes
,
Apron-squires
,
Panders
,
or
anything
.
Let
vs
leaue
of
the
Prouerbe
which
we
vse
to
a
cruell
dealer
,
saying
:
Goe
thy
waies
,
thou
art
a
Iew
:
and
say
,
Goe
thy
waies
,
thou
art
a
Londoner
.
For
then
Londoners
,
are
none
more
heard-hearted
and
cruel
.
Is
it
not
a
common
prouerbe
amongst
vs
,
when
any
man
hath
cosend
or
gone
beyond
vs
,
to
say
,
Hee
hath
playde
the
Marchant
with
vs
?
But
Merchants
,
they
turne
it
another
way
,
and
say
,
He
hath
playd
the
Gentleman
with
them
.
The
Snake
eateth
the
Toade
,
and
the
Toade
the
Snaile
.
The
Merchant
eates
vp
the
Gentleman
,
the
Gentleman
eates
vp
the
Yeoman
,
and
all
three
do
nothing
but
exclaime
one
vpon
another
.
The
head
of
Daniels
Image
was
of
beaten
golde
,
but
The
Psalmist
was
of
another
mind
,
for
he
said
,
O
Lord
I
haue
purged
and
clensed
my
spirit
.
Blessed
are
they
that
If
Christ
were
now
naked
and
visited
,
naked
and
visited
should
he
be
,
for
none
wold
come
neere
him
.
They
would
rather
forsweare
him
and
defie
him
,
then
come
within
forty
foote
of
him
.
In
other
Lands
,
they
haue
Hospitals
,
whether
their
infected
are
transported
,
presently
after
they
are
stroken
.
They
haue
one
Hospitall
,
for
those
that
haue
been
in
the
houses
with
the
infected
,
and
are
not
yet
tainted
:
another
for
those
that
are
tainted
,
and
haue
the
sores
risen
on
them
,
but
not
broken
out
.
A
third
,
for
those
that
both
haue
the
sores
,
&
haue
them
broken
out
on
them
.
We
haue
no
prouision
but
mixing
hand
ouer
head
,
the
sicke
with
the
whole
.
A
halfe-penny
a
month
to
the
poore
mans
boxe
,
we
count
our
vtter
impouerishing
.
I
haue
heard
Trauailers
of
credite
auouch
,
that
in
London
,
is
not
giuen
the
tenth
part
of
that
almes
in
a
week
,
which
in
the
poorest
besieged
Citty
of
Fraunce
is
giuen
in
a
day
.
What
is
our
religion
,
all
auarice
and
no
good
works
?
because
we
may
not
build
Monasteries
,
or
haue
Masses
,
Dirges
,
or
Trentals
sung
for
our
soules
,
are
there
no
deeds
of
mercy
that
God
hath
enioined
vs
?
Our
dogges
are
fed
with
the
crumbes
that
fall
from
our
Tables
.
Our
Christian
brethren
are
famisht
,
for
want
of
the
crumbes
that
fall
from
our
Tables
.
Take
it
of
me
rich-men
expresly
,
that
it
is
not
your
owne
which
you
haue
purchast
with
your
industry
:
it
is
part
of
it
the
poores
,
part
your
Princes
,
part
your
Preachers
.
You
ought
to
possesse
no
more
,
then
will
moderatly
sustaine
your
house
and
your
family
.
Christ
gaue
all
the
victual
he
had
,
to
those
that
flocked
to
heare
his
Sermons
.
We
haue
no
such
promise-founded
plea
at
the
day
of
al
flesh
as
that
in
Christs
name
we
haue
done
alms-deeds
.
How
would
we
with
our
charity
sustaine
so
many
mendicant
orders
of
Religion
,
as
we
heretofore
haue
,
and
as
now
at
this
very
houre
beyond
Sea
are
,
if
we
cannot
keepe
and
cherish
the
casuall
poore
amongst
vs
?
Neuer
was
there
a
simple
liberall
relieuer
of
the
poore
,
but
prospered
in
most
things
he
went
about
.
The
cause
that
some
of
you
cannot
prosper
,
is
,
for
you
put
out
so
little
to
interest
to
the
poore
.
No
thanks-worthy
exhibitions
,
or
reasonable
pensions
,
will
you
contribute
to
maymd
Souldiors
,
or
poore
Schollers
,
as
other
Nations
doe
,
but
suffer
other
Nations
with
your
discontented
poore
,
to
Arme
themselues
against
you
.
Not
halfe
the
Priests
that
haue
been
sent
from
them
into
England
,
had
hither
beene
sent
,
or
euer
fled
hence
,
if
the
Crampe
had
not
held
close
your
purse
strings
.
The
liuings
of
Colledges
,
by
you
are
not
increased
,
but
diminished
:
because
those
that
first
raysed
them
,
had
a
superstitious
intent
,
none
of
vs
euer
after
,
will
haue
any
Christian
charitable
intent
.
In
the
daies
of
Salomon
,
gold
and
siluer
bare
no
price
.
In
these
our
dayes
,
(
which
are
the
dayes
of
sathan
,
)
nought
but
they
beare
any
price
.
God
is
despised
in
comparison
of
them
.
Demas
forsooke
Christ
for
the
world
:
in
this
our
deceasing
couetous
world
,
Demas
hath
more
followers
then
Christ
.
An
old
Vsurer
that
hath
not
an
heyre
,
rakes
vp
thirty
or
forty
thousand
pounds
together
in
a
hutch
,
will
not
part
with
a
penny
,
fares
miserably
,
dies
suddainly
,
and
leaues
those
the
fruites
of
niggardize
to
them
that
neuer
thank
him
.
He
that
bestoweth
any
thing
on
a
Colledge
or
Hospital
,
to
the
worlds
end
shal
haue
his
name
remembred
,
in
daily
thanksgiuing
to
God
for
him
:
otherwise
he
perrisheth
as
the
Pellitory
on
the
wall
,
or
the
weede
on
the
house
top
,
that
groweth
only
to
wither
;
Of
all
his
wealth
no
good
man
reaping
any
benefit
,
none
but
Canckers
,
prisons
,
and
bard
Chestes
,
liue
to
report
he
was
rich
.
Those
great
bard
Chestes
hee
carryes
on
his
backe
to
Heauen
gates
,
and
none
so
burdened
,
is
permitted
to
enter

There
is
no
Male
of
any
kinde
,
hath
apparance
of
breasts
but
man
,
and
hee
hauing
them
,
giues
no
sucke
with
them
at
all
.
Such
dry-nurses
are
our
English
Cormogeons
,
they
haue
breasts
,
but
giue
no
suck
with
them
.
They
haue
treasure
innumerable
,
but
do
no
good
with
it
.
All
the
Abbey-lands
that
were
the
abstracts
from
impertinent
almes
,
now
scarce
affoord
a
meales
meate
of
almes
.
A
penny
bestowed
on
the
poore
,
is
abridged
out
of
house-keeping
.
All
must
bee
for
their
children
that
spend
more
then
all
.
More
prosperous
children
should
they
haue
,
were
they
more
open
handed
.
The
Plague
of
God
threatens
,
to
shorten
both
them
and
their
children
,
because
they
shorten
their
hands
from
the
poore
.
To
no
cause
referre
I
this
present
mortality
but
to
couetise
.
Let
couetise
be
enlarged
out
of
durance
,
the
infected
ayre
will
vncongeale
,
and
the
wombes
of
the
contagious
Clowdes
will
bee
clensed
.
Pray
and
distribute
you
gorbellied
Mammonists
:
without
prayer
and
distribution
,
or
almost
thinking
of
God
,
haue
you
congested
those
refulgent
masses
of
substance
.
With
the
destribution
of
them
,
(
if
you
looke
for
saluation
,
)
your
soules
must
you
ransome
from
Belial
.
And
fortunate
are
you
,
if
with
long
intercessions
and
prayers
,
you
may
get
your
ransome
accepted
of
.
Nothing
of
all
your
drosse
(
going
downe
into
the
earth
)
shall
you
take
with
you
:
you
shall
cary
no

Nisi

They
haue
slept
their
sleepe
,
saith
Dauid
,
and
all
the
men
of
riches
,
haue
found
none
of
their
treasure
in
their
Lord
saue
vs

Lord
saue
vs

or
wee
perrish
,
hee
will
commaund
the
windes
and
the
Sea
,
controule
the
contagion
&
the
sicknes
,
and
make
a
calme
ensue
,
heale
euery
disease
and
languor
amongst
you
.
In
the
day
of
my
trouble
,
(
saith
the
forenamed
propheticall
King
,
)
I
sought
vnto
the
Lord
,
my
sore
ran
&
ceased
not
in
the
night
,
my
soule
refused
comfort
.
I
did
thinke
vpon
God
,
and
was
troubled
,
I
prayed
,
and
my
spirit
was
full
of
anguish
.
Let
vs
seeke
vnto
the
Lord
in
like
sorte
,
let
our
soules
refuse
comfort
,
let
vs
thinke
vpon
him
&
be
troubled
,
let
vs
pray
,
and
fil
our
spirits
full
of
anguish
,
til
such
time
as
he
turneth
our
affliction
from
vs
.
If
wee
be
not
thus
troubled
,
if
our
spirits
bee
not
possessed
with
anguish
,
but
we
make
a
sport
and
flea-biting
of
his
fearefull
visitation
,
and
thinke
(
without
our
prayers
)
the
season
of
the
yeere
will
cease
it
,
hee
will
send
a
rougher
stringed
scourge
amongst
vs
,
a
desolation
that
shall
furrow
deeper
in
our
sides
,
and
roote
out
the
memoriall
of
vs
.
If
(
saith
the
Apostle
to
the
Hebrues
,
)
they
escaped
not
which
refused
him
that
spake
on
earth
,
much
more
shall
they
not
escape
,
that
turne
away
from
him
that
speaketh
to
them
from
heauen
.
Now
it
is
that
God
speaketh
to
vs
from
heauen
,
now
if
we
turne
away
from
him
,
or
will
not
turne
to
him
there
shall
not
one
of
vs
escape
.
In
the
time
of
Gregory
Nasianzene
,
(
if
wee
may
credite
Ecclesiasticall
records
)
there
sprung
vp
the
direfullest
mortality
in
Rome
,
that
man-kinde
hath
beene
acquainted
with
:
scarce
able
were
the
liuing
to
bury
the
dead
,
and
not
so
much
but
their
streets
were
digged
vp
for
graues
;
Which
this
holy
Father
(
with
no
little
commiserate
hart-bleeding
)
beholding
,
commanded
all
the
Clergie
(
for
he
was
at
that
time
their
chiefe
Bishop
)
to
assemble
in
praier
&
supplications
,
and
deale
forcingly
beseeching
with
God
,
to
intermit
his
fury
and
forgiue
them
.
For
all
this
not
any
whit
is
abated
,
hee
tooke
no
pitty
on
them
.
There-with
that
reuerend
Pastor
,
(
entranced
to
hell
in
his
thoughts
for
the
distresse
of
his
people
,
)
caused
al
the
Citizens
,
young
and
old
,
to
be
called
foorth
their
houses
,
and
attende
him
in
a
howling
procession
.
Vp
and
downe
the
streetes
,
from
one
end
of
the
Citty
to
the
other
hee
led
them
,
and
Preachers
(
as
Captains
ouer
multitudes
)
were
set
to
direct
and
encourage
them
in
their
Inuocations
and
Orizons
.
Foure
daies
together
in
this
feruent
exercise
he
detained
them
.
In
those
places
where
the
mortality
raged
most
,
a
stande
would
hee
make
halfe
a
day
,
and
with
reiterated
solicitings
,
and
prostrate
voyce-crazing
vehemencie
,
breake
ope
a
broade
clowde-dispersing
passage
,
to
the
throne
of
mercy
.
The
foure
dayes
concluded
,
and
that
with
their
bellowing
clamors
,
and
breast-embolning
sighes
,
they
had
enforced
a
sufficient
breache
in
the
Firmament
,
there
appeared
a
bright
sunne-arraied
Angell
,
standing
with
a
reaking
bloody
sword
in
his
hand
,
in
the
chiefe
gate
of
their
Citty
,
which
(
they
comming
neere
)
in
all
their
sights
,
on
his
arme
hee
wiped
and
put
vp
:
and
(
in
that
very
instant
)
throughout
the
Citty
,
the
plague
ceased
.
Some
(
peraduenture
)
may
take
exceptions
against
the
certainty
hereof
,
but
if
we
will
authorize
any
thing
in
the
Romaine
or
Ecclesiasticall
histories
,
we
must
ascribe
truth
as
well
vnto
this
.
I
would
see
him
that
could
giue
me
any
other
reason
but
this
,
of
the
building
of
the
yet
extant
gate
and
Castle
of
S.
Angelos
,
on
both
which
,
the
Angell
with
his
sworde
drawne
is
artificially
engrauen
.
True
,
or
not
true
,
the
example
can
doe
no
harme
:
Wee
will
not
be
too
hasty
to
imitate
it
.
In
stead
of
humbling
our selues
after
this
manner
,
and
wearying
God
with
our
cryes
and
lamentations
,
wee
fall
a
drinking
and
bousing
,
&
making
iestes
of
his
frowning
castigation
.
As
Babes
smyle
and
laugh
in
their
sleepe
,
so
wee
(
surprised
with
a
lethargy
of
sinne
,
)
do
nothing
but
laugh
and
iest
in
the
midst
of
our
sleepie
security
.
Wee
scoffe
and
are
iocund
,
when
the
sworde
is
ready
to
goe
through
vs
.
On
our
wine-benches
we
bidde
a
Fico
for
tenne
thousand
Plagues
.
Him
as
a
timerous
milke-soppe
we
deride
,
that
takes
any
antidote
against
it
.
Vpon
the
poynt
of
Gods
sword
wee
will
runne
as
he
is
in
stryking
:
rush
into
houses
that
are
infected
,
as
it
were
to
out-face
him
.
My
sonne
(
sayth
the
Apostle
,
)
dispise
not
the
chastisement
of
the
Lord
.
The
Blessed
is
the
man
,
saith
Iob
,
whom
God
correcteth
.
Cursed
are
we
,
for
God
correcteth
vs
,
and
we
regard
it
not
.
As
the
holy
Ghost
willeth
vs
,
not
to
despise
the
chastising
of
God
,
so
he
would
haue
vs
not
to
faint
when
we
are
rebuked
of
him
,
and
therefore
hee
giueth
a
reason
,
For
whom
the
Lord
loueth
,
he
chastiseth
,
and
hee
scourgeth
euery
sonne
he
receiueth
.
As
there
be
drunken
despysers
of
Gods
present
chastisement
,
so
are
there
them
that
faint
too
much
vnder
it
:
that
thinke
it
lyes
not
in
the
Lordes
power
to
restore
them
:
that
no
prayers
or
repentance
may
repriue
them
;
that
imagine
,
(
since
GOD
in
this
world
hath
forsooke
them
;
)
he
wil
for
euer
forsake
them
.
Thus
they
argument
against
themselues
,
He
that
denieth
vs
a
small
request
,
of
the
prolongment
of
a
few
earthly
dayes
,
he
will
surely
stoppe
his
eares
,
when
in
a
greater
sute
(
for
the
life
eternall
)
we
shall
importune
him
.
O
no
,
foolish
men
you
erre
,
though
long
life
on
earth
be
a
blessing
,
yet
it
followes
not
by
contradiction
,
that
GOD
curseth
all
those
whose
daies
hee
shortens
.
Many
except
their
dayes
were
shortned
,
would
neuer
be
saued
.
Many
in
their
prime
and
best
yeares
,
are
raught
hence
,
because
the
world
is
vnworthy
of
them
,
and
they
are
more
worthy
of
heauen
,
then
the
world
.
The
good
King
Iosias
,
was
taken
away
in
his
youth
.
Our
Sauiour
was
taken
vp
in
his
best
youthly
age
.
Others
fortheir
sins
,
the
Lord
by
vntimely
death
punishethin
this
world
,
that
they
may
bee
absolued
in
the
world
to
come
.
A
large
account
of
them
shall
he
demaund
,
to
whom
he
lendeth
long
life
.
Whome
God
chastiseth
or
cutteth
off
,
he
loueth
,
halfe
his
account
he
cutts
off
.
Euery
son
he
scourgeth
that
he
receiueth
.
Hath
GOD
chastised
or
scourged
such
a
man
by
the
sicknes
,
he
is
not
a
greater
sinner
then
thou
whom
he
hath
not
chastised
,
but
he
loueth
him
better
then
thee
,
for
in
his
chastising
,
he
hath
shewed
more
care
ouer
him
then
he
hath
ouer
thee
.
Few
men
defamed
with
any
notorious
vice
,
can
I
heare
of
,
that
haue
dyed
of
this
sicknesse
.
God
chastiseth
his
Sonnes
and
not
bastards
.
No
Sonnes
of
God
are
we
,
but
bastards
,
vntill
we
be
chastned
.
The
The
guerdon
they
giue
vs
,
(
for
all
their
inflicted
sorrow
and
smart
,
)
is
that
which
they
must
leaue
in
spite
of
their
harts
,
and
cannot
themselues
keepe
any
longer
.
They
giue
vs
place
,
that
in
selfe-same
sort
wee
may
giue
place
to
others
.
But
God
our
Redeemer
,
Chastiser
and
Father
,
corrects
vs
,
that
wee
may
receiue
no
corruptiue
inheritance
,
(
such
as
in
this
life
we
receiue
,
by
the
wayning
of
our
earthly
Fathers
,
)
but
a
neuer
fayling
inheritaunce
,
where
wee
shall
haue
our
Father
himselfe
for
our
inheritance
.
O
what
a
blessed
thing
is
it
to
bee
chastised
of
the
Lord
!
Is
it
not
better
(
O
London
)
that
God
correct
thee
,
and
loue
thee
,
then
forbeare
thee
,
and
forsake
thee
?
He
is
a
iust
God
,
and
must
punish
either
in
this
life
,
or
in
the
life
to
come
.
Though
thou
considerest
onely
the
things
before
thee
,
yet
he
being
a
louing
fore-seeing
father
for
thee
,
and
knowing
the
intollerablenesse
of
the
neuer-quenched
Fornace
(
which
for
sinne
he
hath
prepared
,
)
will
not
consent
to
thine
owne
childish
wishes
,
of
winking
at
thee
heere
on
earth
,
(
where
though
he
did
spare
thee
,
thou
shouldst
haue
no
perfect
tranquillity
,
)
but
with
a
short
light
punishment
,
acquitteth
thee
from
the
punishment
eternall
,
&
eternally
incomprehensible
tortorors
.
When
Preachers
threaten
vs
for
sinne
,
with
this
adiunct
eternall
,
as
paynes
eternall
,
eternall
damnation
,
eternall
horror
and
vexation
,
we
heare
them
as
words
of
course
,
but
neuer
diue
right
downe
into
the
bottomlesse
sence
.
A
confused
modell
and
misty
figure
of
Hell
haue
wee
conglomorate
in
our
braynes
,
drowsily
dreaming
that
it
is
a
place
vnder
earth
,
vncessantly
vomiting
flames
like
Aetna
,
or
Mongibell
,
and
fraughtfull
of
fire
&
Brimstone
,
but
we
neuer
follow
the
meditation
of
it
so
farre
,
(
were
it
nothing
els
,
)
as
to
thinke
what
a
thing
it
is
to
lyue
in
it
perpetually
.
It
is
a
thousand
thousand
times
worser
,
then
to
be
staked
on
the
toppe
of
Aetna
or
Mongibell
.
A
hundred
thousand
thousand
times
more
then
thought
can
attract
,
or
supposition
apprehend
.
But
eternally
to
liue
in
it
,
that
makes
it
the
hell
,
though
the
torment
were
but
trifling
.
Signified
this
word
eternall
,
but
some
sixe
thousand
yeeres
,
(
which
is
about
the
distance
from
Adam
,
)
in
our
comprehension
it
were
a
thing
beyond
mind
,
inso
much
as
wee
deeme
it
an
impatient
spectacle
,
to
see
a
Traytour
but
halfe
an
houre
groning
vnder
the
Hangmans
hands
.
What
then
is
it
,
to
liue
in
threescore
times
more
grinding
discruciamēt
of
dying
,
a
yere
,
a
hundred
yeere
,
a
thousand
yeere
,
sixe
thousand
yeere
,
sixty
thousand
yeere
,
more
thousands
then
can
bee
numbred
in
a
thousand
yeares
;
so
much
importeth
this
word
eternall
,
or
for
euer
.
Though
all
the
men
that
euer
God
made
,
were
hundred
handed
like
Briareus
,
and
should
all
at
once
take
pennes
in
their
hundred
handes
,
and
doe
nothing
in
a
whole
age
together
,
but
sette
downe
in
figures
&
characters
,
as
many
myllions
or
thousands
as
they
could
,
so
many
millions
or
thousands
could
they
neuer
set
down
,
as
this
worde
of
three
sillables
Eternall
,
includeth
,
an
Ocoan
of
yncke
would
it
draw
dry
to
describe
it
.
Hell
is
a
circle
which
hath
no
breakings
of
,
or
discontinuing
.
Hence
blasphemous
Witches
and
Coniurers
,
when
they
raise
vp
the
deuill
,
draw
a
ringed
circle
all-about
him
,
that
hee
should
not
rush
out
and
oppresse
them
:
as
also
to
humble
&
debase
him
,
in
putting
him
in
mind
by
that
circle
,
of
the
eternall
circle
of
damnation
,
wherein
God
hath
confined
and
shut
him
.
What
dullards
and
blocke-heads
are
wee
,
that
hearing
these
tearmes
of
hell
and
eternall
,
so
often
souned
in
our
eares
,
sound
them
so
shallowly
,
or
if
we
sound
them
as
we
shold
,
are
no
more
confounded
with
them
?
It
should
seeme
we
are
not
too
much
terrified
with
them
,
when
for
an
houres
pleasure
,
(
which
hath
no
taste
of
true
pleasure
in
it
,
)
we
will
dare
them
both
to
their
vtmost
.
Foules
of
the
ayre
,
though
neuer
so
empty
stomackt
,
flye
not
for

into
open
Pit-fals

Quae

Too

No
Beast
of
the
Forrest
,
spying

or

but

.
We
spy
and
fore-see
the
Pyt-fal
,
the
Nette
,
the
Ginne
,
the
Trappe
,
that
sathan
(
our
old
entrapper
)
layes
for
vs
,
yet
wilfully
wee
(
without
any
flattering
hope
of
foode
,
without
any
excellent
allurement
to
entice
vs
,
or
hunger
to
constraine
vs
,
)
with
full
race
,
will
dart
our selues
into
them
.
Yea
though
Christ
,
from
the
skyes
,
hold
out
neuer
so
moouing
lures
vnto
vs
,
all
of
them
(
Haggard-like
)
wee
will
turne
tayle
to
,
and
hast
to
the
yron
fist
,
that
holds
out
nought
but
a
knyfe
to
enthrill
vs
.
O
if
there
were
no
heauen
,
mee
thinkes
(
hauing
that
vnderstanding
we
ought
,
)
we
should
forbeare
to
sinne
,
if
it
were
but
for
feare
of
hell
.
Our
Lawes
,
with
nothing
but
proposed
penalty
,
from
offending
cohibite
vs
,
they
allow
no
reward
to
their
temperate
obseruants
:
Gods
Lawes
,
(
proposing
both
exceeding
rewarde
and
exceeding
penalty
,
)
are
euery
day
violated
and
enfringed
.
Eyther
wee
suppose
him
,
not
able
to
execute
his
Lawes
,
or
that
(
like
one
of
Romes
Epicure
Emperors
,
)
he
more
fauoureth
their
breakers
then
obeyers
:
aduauncing
men
sooner
for
oppugning
then
obseruing
them
.
Farre
is
he
from
that
mad-braine
fondnesse
,
of
his
Lawes
he
is
not
onely
not
carelesse
,
but
iealous
and
zealous
,
and
to
the
fourth
generation
pursueth
their
neglecters
.
None
of
them
he
pardons
,
though
for
a
space
he
may
respite
.
If
he
delayeth
or
respiteth
,
his
delaying
or
respyting
,
is
but
to
fetch
vp
his
hand
hyer
,
that
he
may
let
it
fal
on
them
heauier
.
His
deferring
,
is
the
more
to
infer
.
Of
no
ill
payment
shall
he
complaine
,
that
hath
the
wages
of
his
wickednes
held
from
him
in
this
world
,
to
receiue
them
by
the
whole
summe
in
Hell
.
Could
the
least
and
sencelessest
of
our
sences
,
into
the
quietest
corner
of
hel
,
be
transported
in
a
vision
but
three
minutes
,
it
would
breed
in
vs
such
an
agasting
terror
,
and
shyuering
mislike
of
it
,
that
to
make
vs
more
wary
of
sinne-meriting
it
,
we
would
haue
it
painted
in
our
Gardens
,
our
banquetting
houses
,
on
our
gates
,
in
our
Gallaries
,
our
Closets
;
our
bed-chambers
.
Againe
were
there
no
hell
but
the
accusing
of
a
mans
owne
conscience
,
it
were
hell
,
and
the
profundity
of
hell
to
any
sharpe
transpercing
soule
,
that
had
neuer
so
little
inckling
of
the
ioyes
of
heauen
,
to
be
seperate
from
them
;
to
heare
and
see
tryumphing
and
melody
,
and
Tantalus
like
,
not
bee
suffered
to
come
neere
them
,
or
partake
them
;
to
thinke
when
all
els
were
entred
,
hee
should
bee
excluded
.
Our
best
methode
to
preuent
this
excluding
,
or
seperating
from
Gods
presence
,
is
heere
on
earth
(
what
so
euer
we
goe
about
,
)
to
thinke
we
see
him
present
.
Let
vs
fancy
the
firmament
as
his
face
,
the
all-seeing
Sun
to
be
his
right
eye
,
and
the
Moone
his
left
,
(
although
his
eyes
,
are

Many

there
,
which
if
none

man
should
ouer-eye
vs
offending
in

wee
would
neuer
exceed
,

in
.
In
the
presence
of
his
Prince
,
the
dissolutest
misliuer
that
lyues
,
wil
not

or
misgouerne
himselfe
:
how
much
more
ought
we
,
(
abyding
alwaies
in
Gods
presence
,
)
precisely
to
straighten
our
pathes
?
Harde
is
it
when
we
shall
haue
our
Iudge
an
eye-witnes
against
vs
.
There
is
no
demurring
,
or
exceptioning
against
his
testimony
.
Purblind
London
,
neither
canst
thou
see
that
God
sees
thee
,
nor
see
into
thy selfe
.
How
long
wilt
thou
clowde
his
earthly
prospect
,
with
the
misty
night
of
thy
mounting
iniquities
.
Therefore
hath
he
smitten
thee
and
strooke
thee
,
because
thou
wouldest
not
belieue
he
was
present
with
thee
.
He
thought
if
nothing
els
might
moue
thee
to
looke
backe
,
at
least
thou
wouldest
looke
back
to
thy
striker
.
Had
it
not
beene
,
so
to
cause
thee
to
looke
back
and
repent
,
with
no
crosse
or
plague
would
he
haue
visited
,
or
sought
to
call
thee
.
He
could
haue
been
reuenged
on
thee
superaboundantly
at
the
day
of
thy
dissolution
,
and
soules
generall
Law-day
,
though
none
of
thy
children
or
allies
,
by
his
hand
had
beene
sepulchred
.
His
hand
I
may
well
terme
it
,
for
on
many
that
are
arested
with
the
Plague
,
is
the
print
of
a
hand
seene
,
and
in
the
very
moment
it
first
takes
them
,
they
feele
a
sensible
blow
giuen
them
,
as
it
were
with
the
hand
of
some
stander
by
.
As
Gods
hand
wee
will
not
take
it
,
but
the
hand
of
fortune
,
the
hand
of
hot
weather
the
hand
of
close
smouldry
ayre
.
The
Astronomers
,
they
assigne

They
say
,
Venus

Mars
,
Saturne
,
are
motiues
thereof
,
and
neuer
mention
our
sinnes
,
which
are
his
chiefe
procreatours
.
The
vulgar
menialty
conclude
,
therefore
it
is
like
to
encrease
,
because
a
Hearnshaw
(
a
whole
afternoone
together
,
)
sate
on
the
top
of
Saint
Peters
Church
in
Cornehill
.
They
talk
of
an
Oxe
that
told
the
bell
at
Wolwitch
,
and
how
from
an
Oxe
,
hee
transformed
himselfe
to
an
old
man
,
and
from
an
old
man
to
an
infant

and
from
an
infant
to
a

precisenesse

the
superstitious

are

If
we
would
hunt
after
signes
and
tokens
,
wee
should
ominate
from
our
hardnesse
of
heart
,
and
want
of
charitie
amongst
brethren
,
that
Gods
iustice
is
hard
entring

No

there
of
the
ruine
of
any

then
their
reuolting

Certaine
coniectures
haue
wee
had
,
that
wee
are
reuolted
from
God
,
and
that
our
ruine
is
not
farre
of
.
In
diuers
places
of
our
Land
,
it
hath
rained
blood
,
the
ground
hath
been
remoued

and
horrible
deformed

Did
the
Romans
take
it
for
an
ill
signe
,
when
their
Capitoll
was
strooken
with

,
how
much
more
ought
London
,
to
take
it
for
an
ill
signe
,
when
her
chiefe
steeple
is
stroken
with
lightning
?
They
with
thunder
from
an
enterprise
were
disanimated
,
wee
nothing
are
amated

The
blazing
starre
,
the
Earth-quake
,
the
dearth
and
famine
some
fewe
yeeres
since
,
may
nothing
afright

.
Let
vs
looke
for
the
sword
next
to
remembrance
and
warne
vs
.
As
there
is
a
time
of
peace
,
so
is
there
a
time
of

.
No

The
Lord
by
a
solemne
oath
bound
himselfe
to
the
Iewes
,
yet
when
they
were
obliuious
of
him
,
it
pleased
him
to
forget
the
couenant
he
made
with
their
forefathers
;
and
left
their
Citty
desolate
vnto
them
.
Shall
he
not
then
(
we
starting
from
him
,
to
whom
by
no
bond
he
is
tide
,
)
leaue
our
house
desolate
vnto
vs
?
Shal
we
receiue
of
God
(
a
long
time
)
all
good
,
and
shall
we
not
looke
in
the
end
,
to
receiue
of
him
some
ill
?
O
yee
disobedient
children
returne
,
and
the
Lord
shall
heale
your
infirmities
.
Lie
downe
in
your
confusion
,
and
couer
your
faces
with
shame
.
From
your
youth
to
this
day
,
haue
you
sinned
,
and
not
obeyed
the
voyce
of
the
Lord
your
God
.
Now
in
the
age
of
your
obstinacy
,
and
vngratefull
abandonments
,
repent
and
be
conuerted
.
With
one
vnited
intercessionment
,
thus
reconcile
your selues
vnto
him
.
O
Lord
our
refuge
from
one
generation
to
another
,
whither
from
thy
sight
shall
wee
goe
,
or
whether
but
to
thee
,
shall
we
flie
from
thee
?
Iust
is
thy
wrath
,
it
sendeth
no
man
to
hell
vniustly
.
Rebuke
vs
not
in
thine
anger
,
neither
chastise
vs
in
thy
displeasure
.
We
haue
sinned
we
confesse
,
and
for
our
sinnes
thou
hast
plagued
vs
,
with
the
sorrows
of
death
thou
hast
compast
vs
,
and
thy
snares
haue
ouertooke
vs
:
out
of
Natures
hand
,
hast
thou
wrested
the
sword
of
Fate
,
and
now
slayest
euery
one
in
thy
way
.
Ah
thou
preseruer
of
men
,
why
hast
thou
set
vs
vp
as
a
mark
against
thee
?
Why
wilt
thou
breake
a
leafe
driuen
to
and
fro
with
the
winde
,
and
pursue
the
dry
stubble
?
Returne
&
shew
thy self
meruailous
vpon
vs
.
None
haue
we
like
Moses
to
stand
betwixt
life
and
death
for
vs
.
None
to
offer
himselfe
to
die
for
the
people
,
that
the
Plague
may
cease
.
O
deere
Lord
,
for
Ierusalem
didst
thou
die
,
yet
couldst
not
driue
backe
the
plagues
destinate
to
Ierusalem
.
No
image
or
likenes
of
thy
Ierusalem
,
on
earth
is
there
left
but
London
.
Spare
London
,
for
London
is
like
the
Citty
that
thou
louedst
.
Rage
not
so
far
against
Ierusalem
,
as
not
onely
to
desolate
her
,
but
to
wreak
thy selfe
on
her
likenesse
also
,
all
the
honor
of
thy
miracles
thou
loosest
,
which
thou
hast
shewed
so
many
&
sundry
times
,
in
rescuing
vs
with
a
strong
hand
from
our
enemies
,
if
now
thou
becommest
our
enemie
.
Let
not
worldlings
iudge
thee
inconstant
,
or
vndeliberate
in
thy
choise
,
in
so
soon
reiecting
the
Nation
thou
hast
chosen
.
In
thee
we
hope
beyond
hope
,
We
haue
no
reason
to
pray
to
thee
to
spare
vs
,
and
yet
haue
wee
no
reason
to
spare
from
prayer
,
since
thou
hast
wild
vs
.
Thy
will
be
done
,
which
willeth
not
the
death
of
any
sinner
.
Death
let
it
kill
sinne
in
vs
,
and
reserue
vs
to
praise
thee
.
Though
thou
kilst
vs
,
we
wil
praise
thee
:
but
more
praise
shalt
thou
reape
by
preseruing
then
killing
,
since
it
is
the
only
praise
to
preserue
where
thou
maist
kill
.
With
the
Leaper
wee
cry
out
,
O
Lord
if
thou
wilt
,
thou
canst
make
vs
cleane
.
Wee
claime
thy
promise
,
That
those
which
mourne
shall
be
comforted
.
Comfort
vs
Lord
,
wee
mourne
,
our
bread
is
mingled
with
ashes
,
and
our
drinke
with
teares
.
With
so
many
Funeralls
are
we
oppressed
,
that
we
haue
no
leasure
to
weepe
for
our
sinnes
,
for
howling
for
our
Sonnes
and
daughters
.
O
heare
the
voice
of
our
howling
,
withdraw
thy
hand
from
vs
,
and
we
will
draw
neere
vnto
thee
.
Come
Lord
Iesu
,
come
,
for
as
thou
art
Iesus
,
thou
art
pitiful
.
Challenge
some
part
of
our
sin-procured
scourge
to
thy
Crosse.
Let
it
not
bee
sayd
,
That
thou
but
halfe
satisfiedst
for
sinne
.
Wee
belieue
thee
to
bee
an
absolute
satisfier
for
sinne
.
As
we
belieue
,
so
for
thy
merits
sake
,
wee
beseech
thee
let
it
happen
vnto
vs
.
Thus
ought
euery
Christian
in
London
,
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
,
to
pray
.
From
Gods
iustice
wee
must
appeale
to
his
mercy
.
As
the
French
King
,
Frauncis
the
first
,
a
woman
kneeling
to
him
for
iustice
,
sayd
vnto
her
:
Stand
vp
woman
,
for
iustice
I
owe
thee
,
if
thou
begst
any
thing
,
beg
for
mercy
.
So
if
we
begge
of
God
for
any
thing
,
let
vs
begge
for
mercy
,
for
iustice
he
owes
vs
.
Mercy
,
mercy

O

heauenly
Father
for
thy
