the
Citie
of
Rome
vanquished
any
tyme
before
,
neither
given
over
vnto
any
stranger
,
and
out
landish
,
since
the
beginning
of
the
fourth
Monarchy
,
&
at
that
time
Sozimus
was
Pope
,
who
ardently
stood
after
the
Occumenick
style
,
that
is
,
that
hee
might
be
called
the
common
and
head
Bishop
aboue
the
whole
clergie
,
everie
where
els
through
the
whole

:
This
Sozimus
gaue
such
a
law
that
no
doings
in
the
Kirke
should
stand
in
full
power
without
it
was
approved
,
and
consented
by
the
Bishop
of
Rome
,
after
as
it
was
prophecied
that
the
sonne
of
perdition
should
then
begin
his
governament
when
the
Romane
Kingdome
began

for
certainly
that
overthrow
of
the
Romanes
,
which
was
done
by
Alaricus
,
hath
beene
a
beginning
hithertill
:
Therefore
that
the

which
is

yeares
,
or
the

months
,
everie
month
reckoned

,
and

,
with
all
their
hereticall
doctrine
,
wherevnto
the
Romane
Pope
helped
with
all
his
vttermost
power
:
&
which
attained
vnto
a
prosperous
successe
;
whereby
Sathan
the
father
of
lyes
,
and
all
heriticall
doctrine
,
was
bound
from

yet
neverthelesse

his
ambition

avaritiousnesse
,
in
this

subdued
vnder

the
Kirks
of
Spaine
and

This

Right
so
endeth
the

yeare
the
yeare
of
the

,
which
when
they
are
ended
,
then
shall

vntill
anno

of

But
anno
Christi

,
then
haue
all
the
yeares
which
the
Prophets
haue
spoken
of
their
only
end
,
both
the
Heathen
,
Gogs
,
and
Popes
,
as
afterwards
the
Author
himselfe
cleareth
,
yet
his
protestation
excepted
,
that
he
will
not
preceeslie
determine
such
things
;
but
referreth

into
the
Fathers
owne
hands
.
A
short
interpretation
,
and
clearing
of
the
register
of
the
new
Testament
.
THE
whole
age
of
the
New
Testament
,
according
to
the
meaning
of
the
Prophets
,
are
divided
in
4
times
.
The
first
is
the
calling
time
of
the
Iewes
.
The
second
is
the
Gentiles
1600
furlongs
.
The
third
is
Gogs
,
Mahumets
,
or
Turkes
tyme
.
The
fourth
is
,
the
Popes
tyme
.
The
first
:
Namely
,
the
called
time
of
the
Iewes
.
WEE
read
in
the
booke
of
the
Revelation
14.
v.
15
,
is
cryed
and
said
,
THE
TIME
IS
COME
TO
REAPE
.
Now
is
a
time
or
an
houre
,
the
foure
and
twentieth
part
of
a
whole
day
:
night
and
day
reckoned
to
24
houres
.
An
Heavenly
day
conteineth
a
thousand
yeares
,
as
it
is
written
2
Pet.
3.
v.
8.
(
a
thousand
yeares
as
a
day
)
divide
this
1000
with
24
,
so
commeth
there
about
41
yeeres
and
an
halfe
.
Remarke
now
the
groundlesse
mercie
of
the
Almightie
GOD
,
how
he
did
visite
and
call
his
people
the
Iewes
,
of
the
seede
of
Abraham
,
and
offered
them
his
grace
by
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
who
began
his
calling
with
the
preaching
of
repentance
;
and
Baptisme
,
in
the
29
yeare
or
thereby
,
after
the
birth
of
Iesus
Christ
,
of
the
Virgin
Marie
:
which
mercifull
calling
of
the
Iewes
,
Christ
with
his
Disciples
continued
after
the
beheading
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
vnto
one
or
two
and
fourtie
yeares
,
and
did
begin
in
Ierusalem
,
and
gaue
them
time
eneugh
of
repentance
,
in
the
space
of
this
41
yeares
,
but
when
they
remained
in
their
hardnesse
,
and
condemned
Gods
Sonne
,
the
blessed
seede
,
which
particularlie
,
and
especially
was
promised
them
in
Abraham
,
and
so
wittingly
proceded
in
their
sinne
,
against
the
holy
Ghost
.
Then
GOD
tooke
his
scourge
in
hand
,
Titus
Vespasian
,
and
therewith
strooke
them
so
hard
,
in
the
end
of
this
41
yeares
,
or
41
and
an
halfe
yeares
after
the
beginning
of
Iohns
preaching
,
which
was
Anno
Christi
,
29.
so
that
Ierusalem
their
head
Citie
is
destroyed
,
and
their
whole
polices
vndergone
,
and
never
shall
come
vp
againe
.
Lay
now
together
29
with
41
,
so
commeth
thereof
70.
Namely
,
in
the
same
yeare
after
the
birth
of
CHRIST
,
in
the
which
yeare
Titus
destroyed
Ierusalem
,
and
the
policies
of
the
Iewes
,
and
this
is
the
time
of
the
Iewes
calling
Apocal.
14.15
.
The
other
tyme
of
the
New
Testament
:
namely
,
the
Gentils
,
which
should
indure
1600
yeares
.
SACRA
,
AFter
as
the
Iewes
,
GODS
owne
people
,
had
contemned
his
Fatherly
offerings
of
grace
,
in
his
Sonne
IESUS
CHRIST
,
and
would
not
accept
of
grace
,
yet
GOD
would
haue
his
glorious
Kingdome
after
this
lyfe
replenished
,
and
therefore
by
his
Word
,
Sacraments
,
and
powerfull
presence
of
his
Spirit
,
ordaineth
heere
in
the
world
a
Kingdome
of
grace
for
poore
Gentils
,
that
were
not
of
Abrahams
blessed
seede
as
the
Iewes
,
which
Kingdome
of
grace
should
reach
it selfe
out
1600
furlongs
,
as
it
is
written
Apocal.
14
19.20
,
with
which
furlongs
are
vnderstood
yeares
,
as
heereafter
shall
bee
spoken
of
.
This
1600
furlongs
,
stadia
,
or
yeares
,
which
remaineth
now
againe
for
the
Heathens
to
repent
;
and
thereby
to
be
in
gathered
in
the
Kingdome
of
grace
,
that
they
thereafter
should
inherite
his
Kingdome
of
glory
,
and
there
see
him
as
he
is
.
In
this
1600
yeares
the
third
Angell
rypeth
the
vyneyard
,
as
Iohn
sayeth
,
and
casteth
it
in
the
great
wine-presse
of
GODS
wrath
:
and
the
wine-presse
was
troden
without
the
citie
,
and
blood
came
out
of
the
winepresse
vnto
the
horse
brydels
,
by
the
space
of
1600
furlongs

The
wyne
grapes
in
the
18
verse
that
are
cast
in
the
presse
of
the
wrath
of
GOD
,
are
the
Iewes
,
who
were
so
pressed
by
Titus
Vespasian
,
that
there
were
slaine
eleven
hundreth
thousand
Iewes
,
as
Iosephus
writeth
,
lib.

These
who
were
pressed
without
the
citie
,
verse
20
,
and
without
the
townes
communitie
,
who
were
Burgesses
and
indwellers
,
Christ
advertising
them
,
they
listned
,
and
gaue
eare
to
his
advertisement
,
who
departed
in
safetie
vnto
Pella
:
in
the
meane
tyme
the
other
wyne
grapes
were
pressed
by
the
armie
of
Titus
.
The
blood
that
ranne
from
the
presse
betokneth
,
that
the
wrath
of
GODS
vengeance
should
reach
without
Ierusalem
,
and
streatch
it self
vnto
such
contemners
of
GOD
,
and
hardned
sinners
,
and
that
vnto
1600
furlongs
,
that
is

1600
yeares
.
The

vnto
whose
brydles
the

ran
,
betokeneth
the
furious

vntamed
Heathen
,
and
tyrants
,
that
set
them-selves
vp
against

Kirk
.

Which
tyrants
are
like
Horse

,
in

salvation
.
Psal.
32.9
.
who
should
bee
cast
in
the
great
presse
of
the
wrath
of
GOD
,
vntill
so
long
they
let
tame
them
by
the
brydle
of
the
Evangel
,
and
let
them
bee
teached
and
showne
by
the
servants
of
the
Word
,
to
serue
the
LORD
,
and
kisse
the
Sonne
.
Psal.
2.10.11.12
.
With
1600
Stadia
,
or
furlongs
is
not
vnderstood
,
the
length
of
place
,
but
of
tyme
wherevnto
is
given
three
causes
.
First
:
CHRIST
saith
,
(
Luke
.
21.24
)
That
Ierusalem
shall
bee
troden
vnder
the
feete
of
the
Gentiles
,
vntill
the
time
of
the
Gentiles
bee
fulfilled
:
Heere
speaketh
IESUS
of
the
Gentiles
,
that
they
should
haue
a
time
,
and
that
the
Gentiles
tyme
should
beginne
when
Ierusalem
was
destroyed
,
which
time
of
the
Gentiles
is
not
found
written
in
no
place
of
the
holy
Scripture
,
how
long
it
shall
endure
except
only
in
this
place
.
Secondly
:
This
secret
of
1600
stadia
if
it
should
be
vnderstood
according
to
the
letter
,
and
as
the
words
are
in
themselues
:
then
this
1600
stadia
or
furlongs
,
maketh
no
more
than
50
myles
:
but
now
the
cup
of
GODS
wrath
hath
powred
it selfe
more
at
large
than
50
myles
about
Ierusalem
:
yea
in
all
the
corners
of
the
whole
earth
:
therefore
this
1600
stadia
,
is
not
vnderstood
of
the
place
,
but
of
the
tyme
.
Thirdly
:
It
is
commonly
the
forme
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
that
he
opneth
appointed
tymes
,
(
definita
tempora
)
with
some
dark
kynd
of
speach
.

giveth
to

there
is
measured
4000
cubits
,
vntill
the
Evangelicall
fishing
,
where
vndoubtedly
is
vnderstood
with
4000
cubits
4000
yeares
:
namely
,
from
the
first
promise
of
the
womans
seede
,
vntill
the
Evangelicall
fishing
beganne
with
the
fishers
of
IESUS
CHRIST
:
The
holy
Apostles
heereof
can
be
vnderstood
in
this
place
,
with
1600
stadia
,
right
so
many
yeares
.
So
indureth
the
Heathings
appoynted
tyme
after
this
calculation
vntill
the
Sonne
of
man
come
in
his
white
clowd
,
who
with
his
Angels
will
reape
and
gather
the
children
of
men
,
the
good
and
fruitfull
grapes
in
his
owne
citie
,
but
will
cutte
off
the
wyld
grapes
with
his
sharp
sickle
till
the
1670
yeares
.
The
third
tyme
of
the
New
Testament
:
Namely
,
Gogs
,
Magogs
,
or
Mahumets
,
and
Turkes
Kingdome
:
and
that
for
the
space
1335.
yeares
,
which
is
ended
anno
Christi
1670.
according
to
the
prophecie
of
Daniel
.
12.
v.
12.
and
Dan.
7.
ver.
8.
IN
the
foresaid
chapters
of
Daniel
is
written
,
that
this
little
horne
of
Gogs
or
Mahumets
,
which
came
vp
with
a
little
beginning
,
and
stoode
vp
amongst
the
ten
hornes
,
the
ten
Kingdomes
of
the
Romish
Monarchs
who
did
plucke
away
three
of
the
first
horns
,
and
held
warres
against
the
Sanctuarie
,
and
was
for
them
too
strong
,
verse
.
11
This
little
horne
came
vp
Anno
Christi
335
:
when
that
Arianish
heresie
spred
foorth
in
denying
of
the
Godhead
of
IESVS
CHRIST
,
in
that
publicke
assemblie
of
Bishops
,
and
learned
till
Synodo
,
of
all
was
consented
and
approved
,
and
that
in
the
ruined
Citie
of
Ierusalem
,
which
false
doctrine
of
Arius
was
the
first
cause
,
and
beginning
,
till
Gogs
and
Mahumets
successe
in
the
world
:
so
shall
the
end
of
this
Gogs
,
Magogs
,
or
Turkes
,
and
Mahumets
fall
,
after
this
calculation
in
the
yeare
1670.
for
1335
added
vntill
335.
makes
in
summe
1670.
Secondly
:
There
is
written
in
the
Revelalion
9.
verse
14.
of
the
foure
Angels
that
were
bound
in
the
river
Euphrates
:
that
they
should
bee
made
lowse
,
which
were
prepared
at
one
houre
,
at
one
day
,
at
one
moneth
,
and
at
one
yeare
to
slaye
the
third
part
of
men
,
which
doublesse
is
vnder
stood
of
the
Mahumets
tyrannie
,
which
he
executed
on
the
poore
Christians
in
the
East
Lands
,
and
how
he
changed
lawes
,
and
times
:
for
Euphrates
flood
is
not
farre
from
Babylon
.
The
foure
Angels
that
are
said
to
bee
bounde
in
this
flood
,
or
the
foure
Patriarchs
in
the
East
land
,
the
one
to
Constantin
,
the
other
to
Antiochia
,
the
third
to
Ierusalem
,
the
fourth
to
Alexandria
,
which
foure
helped
,
and
much
assisted
the
Kingdome
of
the
sonne
of
perdition
.
These
are
said
to
bee
loused
,
and
many
wayes
spred
abrode
,
and
that
by
the
heresie
of
Arius
and
Nestorius
,
concerning
the
absurd
doctrine
of
CHRISTS
person
,
that
when
they
had
consented
in
the
same
heresie
,
then
are
they
forced
to
giue
themselves
vnder
Mahumet
,
and
then
were
prepared
till
the
houre
,
day
,
moneth
and
yeare
,
to
slay
the
third
part
of
men
.
Let
now
one
houre
bee
the
24
part
of
one
heavenly
day
which
continueth
almost
42
yeares
,
for
one
whole
day
is
reckoned
for
a
thousand
yeares
:
the
Heavenly
moneth
30
yeares
space
,
this
yeare
being
a
common
yeare
:
so
extendeth
the
summe
1073.
yeares
.
Now
when
the
end
falleth
in
Anno
Christi
1670
then
is
the
beginning
anno
Christi
579
,
in
the
which
tyme
,
as
the
Gothers
that
were
in
Spaine
turned
from
that
Arianish
,
and
Mahumetish
doctrine
,
which
then
long
tyme
was
allowed
and
approved
of
the
foure
Patriarchs
:
and
therewith
tooke
such
an
end
,
that
Mahumet
troade
himselfe
,
who
till
in
this
597
yeares
was
in
the
bloome
of
his
youth
,
about
26
yeares
of
age
:
Moreover
in
this
same
yeare
the
Popes
ambition
shew
it selfe
,
and
avaritious
flood
Euphrates
in
the
Pope
Gregorius
Magnus
,
who
sent
his
Ambassadors
in
England
,
and
by
power
of
an
armie
forced
them
to
imbrace
the
Romish
religion
:
In
like
manner
the
Pope
had
the
victorie
aboue
the
Churches
of
Spaine
.
Thirdly
:
Ezekiel
chap.
39.
verse
11
doth
prophecie
,
that
GOD
shall
giue
Gog
a
buriall
place
towards
the
East
,
which
shall
be
called
the
valley
of
the
multitude
of
Gog
,
where
Gog
with
his
armies
shall
be
buried
,
and
cleanse
the
land
in
seven
moneths
,
and
shall
burne
off
their
weapons
,
and
put
the
shields
and
bucklers
vpon
bowes
,
and
vpon
arrowes
with
fire
seven
yeares
,
verse
9.
when
there
is
made
of
the
seven
Angelicall
moneths
Angelicall
dayes
,
30
dayes
in
everie
moneth
,
and
dayes
to
the
yeare
,
so
commeth
of
it
210
yeares
:
adde
vnto
this
seven
yeares
,
in
the
which
the
weapons
were
burnt
in
,
Summa
217
yeares
:
Let
now
the
end
of
this
217
yeares
fall
in
1670
,
and
then
217
substracted
from
this
1670
,
the
beginning
falleth
anno
1453.
In
the
which
tyme
Mahumet
11
of
the
name
tooke
in
Constantinople
,
and
made
heerewith
an
end
of
the
Romish
Emperourdome
in
the
East
land
:
so
is
then
Constantinople
Gogs
buriall
place
,
and
the
valley
of
the
multitude
of
the
Gogs
,
or
that
place
Hamona
,
verse
16
,
that
lyeth
toward
the
East
vnto
the
sea
,
verse
11
,
which
Constantinople
is
not
longer
the
Christians
head
citie
in
the
Eastland
,
as
before
;
but
Gogs
denne
,
and
spirituall
dead
stinking
graue
of
the
Mahumets
.
That
these
armour
arrowes
should
burne
seven
yeares
,
signifieth
that
the
Mahumetish
lawes
,
statutes
,
ceremonies
,
Kirkes
service
,
and
deceate
should
be
burnt
to
nothing
,
by
the
fire
of
the
true
spirituall
word
of
GOD.
This
is
now
of
Gogs
,
Mahumets
,
and
Turks
Kingdome
,
how
long
it
will
indure
:
namely
,
as
long
as
the
tyme
of
the
New
Testament
indureth
.
The
fourth
tyme
of
the
New
Testament
:
namely
,
the
Popes
.
IN
the
booke
of
the
Revelation
,
13
chap.
there
is
written
of
the
seven
headed
beast
,
that
it
should
continue
42
moneths
,
that
is
,
the
Popedome
to
Rome
shall
indure
42
moneths
.
Rome
is
builded
on
seven
heads
,
high
toppes
,
and
mountaines
:
Make
monethes
to
dayes
30
dayes
in
everie
moneth
,
and
reckon
every
day
for
a
yeare
,
so
proceedeth
1260
yeares
,
when
the
end
of
this
1260
yeares
falleth
in
anno
Christi
1670.
and
then
beginneth
the
same
1260
yeares
,
anno
Christi
410
:
from
which
tyme
hitherto
Rome
hath
had
the
empyre
and
victory
almost
over
all
the
borders
of
the
Iewes
:
then
first
subdued
and
taken
in
by
Alaricus
King
of
the
Gothes
,
then
began
the
first
Romish
Monarchie
to
be
feeble
,
and
begate
weake
legges
.
Now
when
such
wayes
the
policies
and
mightie
government
of
Rome
began
to
diminish
,
then
began
the
Romish
Antichrist
to
increase
in
the
government
of
the
Church
,
and
the
Pope
tooke
vnto
himselfe
the
power
,
and
superioritie
aboue
the
whole
world
,
in
all
Churches
,
and
clergie
,
even
as
the
Apostle
Paul
had
prophecied
before
2
Thess.
2.
v.
6
saying
so
.
And
now
yee
know
what
withholdeth
that
hee
might
bee
revealed
in
his
tyme
:
namely
,
that
man
of
sinne
,
and
sonne
of
perdition
,
setteth
himselfe
against
:
verse
.
7.
For
the
misterie
of
iniquitie
doeth
already
worke
,
onely
hee
which
now
withholdeth
shall
let
,
till
he
be
taken
out
of
the
way
:
which
Pauls
prophecie
,
Chrisostomus
,
and
many
others
vnderstood
this
of
the
Romish
Monarchy
,
&
Emperourdome
,
which
then
hindred
the
sonne
of
perdition
,
and
man
of
sinne
his
ambition
,
that
he
could
not
come
vp
as
he
would
:
and
which
could
not
bee
done
,
vntill
the
time
,
the
same
Imperium
and
Emperourdome
began
to
bow
,
which
was
accomplished
by
Alaricus
King
of
the
Gothes
.
II.
In
the
Revelation
18
,
Iohn
heareth
of
proud
Babylon
,
whose
plagues
,
death
,
and
sorrows
shall
one
day
fall
vpon
her
.
verse
8
,
and
in
an
houre
shall
her
judgment
bee
,
verse
10
,
And
in
an
houre
shall
the
desolation
of
her
riches
come
.
verse
17.
And
in
an
houre
shall
bee
made
desolate
.
verse
19.
So
will
GOD
then
powre
his
wrath
on
the
seed
of
the
Romanes
in
one
day
,
&
3
houres
.
Now
one
day
is
1000
yeares
,
one
hour
41
and
an
halfe
yeares
,
adde
together
,
so
is
the
summe
1124.
and
an
halfe
yeares
,
when
this
1124.
and
a
half
yeares
endeth
An.
Christi
1670.
then
falleth
their
beginning
in
Anno
Christi
546.
in
the
which
time
,
that
the
Gothers
King
Totilias
,
that
said
himselfe
to
be
the
scourge
of
GOD
,
set
fire
in
Rome
,
and
brunt
the
greatest
part
thereof
.
From
this
546
yeare
of
Christ
,
vntill
Luther
departed
in
the
Lord
,
is
likewise
1000
yeares
one
Heavenly
day
,
for
he
died
Anno
Christi
1546.
and
is
that
day
of
the
which
before
:
therefrom
and
till
1588
,
when
as
the
Papists
contracted
themselves
against
England
,
and
there
gote
a
terrible
defeate
,
went
out
the
first
houre
of
the
three
,
therefrom
and
till
Anno
Christi
1629.
When
as
the
Papists
tyrannie
shall
bee
weakned
,
and
must
vnder-goe
,
and
the
two
witnesses
shall
come
on
feete
againe
,
is
the
other
houre
from
1629.
vntill
1670.
is
the
third
houre
,
when
all
things
will
seeme
to
take
their
only
end
.
III.
In
the
Revelation
9.
The
Apostle
seeth
,
a
starre
which
had
the
key
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
and
was
fallen
downe
from
Heaven
on
the
earth
,
wherewith
nothing
is
vnderstood
,
except
only
this
sonne
of
perdition
,
who
opned
the
bottomlesse
pit
.
v.
2.
whereout
there
arose
much
hereticall
smoake
damp
and
reeke
,
which
darkned
the
righteous
beames
of
the
Sunne
of
IESUS
CHRIST
,
and
his
Evangelicall
doctrine
,
and
out
of
that
smoke
came
Locustes
on
the
earth
,
v.
3.
Wherewith
is
vnderstood
the
pestilentious
heretickes
and
false
teachers
,
who
doe
nothing
els
but
bring
in
amongst
the
ground
&
seede
of
the
Christian
Kirk
the
greatest
mischiefe
.
These
damnable
locusts
(
faith
Iohn
)
shall
vexe
the
people
5
moneths
,
that
is
,
150
Heavenly
dayes
or
yeares
:
for
fiue
tymes
thirtie
is
150
,
when
this
150
yeares
taketh
their
end
,
anno
Christi
1670.
then
the
calculation
concludeth
that
they
begin
anno
1521.
In
the
which
tyme
that
Carolostadius
wakned
vp
that
great
vprore
,
with
storming
of
images
,
from
whence
proceeded
in
the
Churches
diversities
of
opinions
.
Fourthly
:
In
the
Revelation
,
chap.
11.
we
reade
of
the
two
witnesses
,
clothed
in
sackcloth
,
who
prophecied
1260
dayes
:
and
when
1260
dayes
endeth
,
then
they
shall
bee
killed
by
the
beast
,
and
three
dayes
and
an
halfe
ly
vnburied
,
but
thereafter
shall
haue
lyfe
of
the
Spirit
,
and
ascend
to
the
clowdes
of
Heaven
,
and
the
enemies
of
the
Evangell
shall
behold
it
;
then
shall
there
be
a
great
Earthquake
,
which
shall
continue
an
houre
,
in
the
which
Earthquake
the
tenth
part
of
Babylon
shall
fall
.
By
the
two
witnesses
is
vnderstood
the
old
and
new
Testament
,
which
beareth
witnesse
of
the
trueth
in
murning
weede
and
sackcloth
,
that
is
,
vnder
croces
and
persecution
:
If
wee
will
adde
and
lay
together
with
this
three
and
an
halfe
dayes
,
or
three
and
an
halfe
commoun
yeares
,
the
heavenly
houre
namely
41
an
and
half
yeares
,
then
is
the
summe
1305
,
then
followeth
it
the
beginning
of
this
1305
,
to
bee
Anno
Christi
365
on
the
which
tyme
that
Damasius
&
Vrsicinus
did
contend
to
Rome
for
the
Popedome
,
which
of
them
should
bee
Pope
,
who
carried
a
bloody
warre
in
the
holy
house
against
others
.
And
then
hath
this
sonne
of
perdition
gotten
his
kingdome
,
consecrated
and
anoynted
vnto
him
by
murther
,
and
shedding
of
much
blood
.
When
wee
begin
from
the
foresaid
yeare
Anno
Christi
365
,
to
reckon
to
the
1260
,
then
end
they
just
Anno
Christi
1625.
Now
how
those
two
witnesse
the
Old
and
New
Testament
with
all
true
preachers
,
who
hath
holden
with
those
two
witnesses
,
hath
beene
killed
and
rent
,
it
is
eneugh
knowne
vnto
all
men
,
for
not
onlie
Papists
,
but
all
other
sects
rent
so
on
those
two
witnesse
,
and
so
killeth
them
,
everie
one
to
turne
and
revert
them
vnto
his
owne
hereticall
meaning
,
which
is
eneugh
knowne
vnto
everie
true
Christian
,
but
now
most
of
all
those
two
witnesses
are
now
killed
with
their
confederats
in
this
3
and
an
halfe
yeares
:
Namely
,
from
Anno
1625
vntill
Anno
Christi
.
1629.
whereof
the
well
learned

Master
Meynelaus

,
both
of
learned
and
vnlearned
:
So
vnderstandeth
the
Pope
,
that
Scotish
English
,
Fleames
,
Dence
,
Norwish
,
Swedens
,
Poles
,
Bohemish
,
and
Vngarish
;
with
no
deceate
or
subtilitie
can
bee
brought
againe
vnder
his
power
,
so
long
as
the
bookes
of
the
old
and
new
Testament
haue
the
vpper
hand
:
and
therefore
he
shall
striue
after
also
to
take
from
these
two
witnesses
all
their
prerogatiue
,
and
bring
so
to
passe
,
that
they
may
haue
no
place
in
the
Roman
Church
;
but
to
losse
their
shine
altogether
,
and
by
the
permission
of
GOD
,
seing
Godlinesse
is
verie
rare
besides
vs
,
so
can
it
lightly
event
,
that
the
Romish
Antichrist
shall
haue
once
successe
.
This
proud
and
divelish
victorie
will
continue
three
yeares
and
an
half
,
which
is
from
the
yeere
1625.
vntill
1629
,
so
long
shall
the
Christian
Kirk
indure
this
persecution
,
and
shed
her
blood
in
great
quantitie
,
for
confessing
of
the
trueth
:
and
together
in
these
tymes
men
shall
see
the
bookes
of
the
old
and
new
Testament
to
be
whole
contemned
,
and
to
ly
as
dead
bodies
in
the
streetes
,
and
they
shall
bee
troade
with
feete
,
yet
some
godly
compassioners
,
and
the
Evangelish
true
confessors
shall
not
suffer
them
to
be
whole
buried
.
But
thereafter
from

vntill

saying
,
It
may
bee
that
Anno
Christi
1625.
will
come
vp
some
new
Motus
,
and
tumult
,
that
the
Christistian
Church
will
suffer
cruell
sorrowfull
tempests
againe
,
but
how
it
shall
bee
Daniel
cleareth
not
,
except
that
which
hee
heareth
of
the
Angel
,
blessed
are
they
that
waiteth
thereafter
:
that
is
,
who
are
patient
as
yet
,
vntill
the
45
yeare
are
past
.
Now
everie
one
knoweth
that
patience
is
no
wayes
without
crosses
and
sorrowes
,
whereby
may
bee
judged
that
Anno
1625
,
there
will
burst
out
a
hole
on
a
divelish
and
pestilentious
byle
,
which
now
Anno
Christi
1596
,
when
Philip
Nicolai
wrote
this
booke
,
the
enemies
of
the
true
Christians
,
are
making
rype
,
in
their
secret
counsels
and
concealed
pratickes
,
that
the
Elect
may
be
weary
of
those
troublous
times
.
Wherefore
of
this
ineluctabilis
and
future
tyme
of
sorrows
shall
come
on
that
tyme
:
vntill
the
which
wee
haue
as
yet
from
this
yeare
1579
28
yeare
,
then
should
the
soules
of
true
Christians
,
after
the
counsell
of
Daniel
,
prepare
theselues
to
patience
:
and
heerewith
remember
this
cruell
persecution
,
shall
not
for
ever
indure
,
but
shall
vndergoe
,
within
a
short
space
,
and
come
to
an
end
within
few
yeares
,
And
therefore
especially
should
wee
pray
GOD
,
that
hee
from
Heaven
will
send
vs
the
strength
of
his
spirit
,
that
wee
could
grow
in
true
faith
,
and
stand
constant
in
the
revelation
of
the
trueth
.
V.
And
moreover
this
vndoubtedly
agrieth
well
,
namely
,
this
last
tyme
of
the
new
Testament
,
with
the
tymes
that
proceeded
before
the
flood
came
,
seing
that
CHRIST
prophecieth
hereof
himselfe
.
Math.
24.
&
Luk
17.
That
right
as
it
was
in
the
world
before
the
flood
,
the
people
gaue
themselues
to
drunkennesse
,
filthinesse
and
lustes
of
the
flesh
,
and
that
vntill
the
same
day
that
Noah
entred
into
the
Arke
:
So
likewise
the
people
should
giue
themselues
secure
vnto
such
vices
against
the
last
tymes
.
Seing
there
is
now
reckoned
from
the
worlds
beginning
vnto
the
flood
1657
yeares
:
substract
1657
from
1670
so
hast
thou
againe
13
yeares
,
when
CHRIST
was
12
yeares
,
and
in
his
13
when
hee
disputed
with
the
learned
in
the
Temple
of
Ierusalem
.
Lay
now
together
the
first
Adam
with
the
second
,
and
then
the
earthly
with
the
Heavenly
.
1.
The
first
had
earthly
Paradice
,
the
other
the
Temple
of
Hierusalem
,
and
that
after
the
commandement
of
his
Heavenly
Father
:
Shall
I
not
be
about
my
Fathers
businesse
,
Luke
2.
ver.
49.
2.
As
Adam
shew
obedience
vnto
GOD
in
Paradice
,
so
did
the
other
in
the
Temple
.
3.
Adam
was
counselled
of
the
woman
,
that
hee
should
eate
of
the
tree
of
the
forbidden
fruite
:
CHRIST
could
not
be
counselled
of
his
mother
to
desist
from
that
which
was
his
Fathers
.
4.
As
from
Adams
fall
vntill
the
flood
proceeded
1657
yeares
,
likewayes
from
Christs
actiue
obedience
(
obedientiae
activae
specimine
)
example
which
he
shew
in
the
Temple
,
when
he
was
12
yeares
full
,
and
in
his
13
,
vntil
the
only
end
and
revelation
of
tyme
will
proceede
1657
yeares
:
adde
heerevnto
the
13
yeares
of
his
age
,
so
falleth
in
the
end
anno
Christi
1670.
V.
And
for
the
last
,
it
is
neither
to
dis-allow
betweene
the
agreement
of
the
yeares
of
Christs
age
,
that
he
lived
&
conversed
visibly
in
this
world
with
so
many
of
the
New
Testaments
jubile
,
every
commoun
jubile
yeare
reckoned
to

,
Levit.

for

tymes

,
maketh

the
next
following
50
yeare
was
both
a
jubile
yeare
,
and
the
first
yeare
to
begin
in
:
in
the
next
following
jubile
yeares
reckning
.
Now
is
Christ
dead
,
risen
,
and
ascended
in
the
34
yeares
of
his
age
:
begin
now
to
tell
these
jubile
yeares
,
from
the
29
yeare
of
CHRISTS
age
,
for
then
began
Iohn
the
Baptist
to
sounde
with
the
trumpet
of
the
new
Testament
,
so
falleth
in
this
34.
this
new
Testaments
jubile
yeares
,
beginning
Anno
Christi
1646
from
this
,
to
1670
,
is
about
25
yeare
,
an
halfe
jubile
yeare
,
because
CHRIST
liued
not
out
his
34
yeares
.
Now
to
a
conclusion
of
this
little
booke
,
I
will
bring
in
two
prophecies
of
our
Authors
.
I.
Of
the
diminishing
of
CHRISTS
Church
against
the
worlds
end
.
Pag.
223.
THIS
may
well
bee
,
that
as
Christ
did
not
show
himselfe
after
his
resurrection
to
the
vnthankfull
Iewes
preists
,
and
Scribes
in
Ierusalem
,
but
remoued
North
vnto
Galile
,
and
there
revealed
himselfe
before
his
disciples
:
so
in
like
manner
,
that
the
cleare
learning
of
the
Evangel
,
which
once
is
driven
from
some
parts
in
Dutchland
,
and
Romish
dominions
,
shall
not
come
their
againe
:
in
the
same
places
,
but
make
his
dwelling
away
,
North
in
Germanie
,
and
in
other
Northlandish
places
,
in
Scotland
,
Norway
,
Sweden
,
Iseland
,
&c.
And
as
CHRIST
after
his
resurrection
preached
not
,
and
learned
publictly
in
Hierusalem
where
he
was
crucified
,
but
secreetly
revealed
himselfe
to
his
disciples
,
who
were
gathered
within
locked
doores
for
feare
of
the
Iewes
:
so
that
in
like
manner
before
the
●ast
day
,
the
Heavenly
sinceere
doctrine
●n
Churchs
and
schooles
from
whence
she
is
banished
,
not
more
there
to
haue
such
successe
,
but
shall
sound
quietly
within
some
poore
folkes
doores
,
who
shall
reade
the
holy
BIBLE
in
their
●ouses
,
with
Luthers
Catechisme
and
E●istles
,
and
other
writings
of
true
●earned
teachers
,
and
with
their
house●old
profite
themselues
in
the
exercise
of
true
religion

IF
Spaine
out
of
ambition
,
for
augmenting
of
his
kingdome
come
in
our
seas
,
and
will
stay
or
hinder
the
handling
and
merchandise
of
the
English
,
Dence
,
Swedens
and
Muscoviters
,
vnto
the
damnage
of
the
Norwish
dominions
,
then
it
shall
not
prosper
with
him
,
he
may
try
much
,
but
carrie
nothing
home
,
but
shame
and
discommoditie
with
him
.
This
is
now
briefly
set
foorth
and
extracted
by
the
honourable
and
inlightned
Doctor
Philip
Nicolaus
,
which
is
taken
out
of
his
second
booke
of
the
Kingdome
of
IESUS
CHRIST
,
concerning
a
prophecie
of
the
worlds
end
.
If
any
heereby
will
conclude
,
that
the
last
day
precisly
should
fall
in
this
1670
,
and
thinke
heereby
that
I
should
presume
more
than
the
holy
Scripture
giveth
place
.
Therevnto
I
answere
(
saith
the
Author
)
in
this
manner
,
Of
that
day
and
houre
no
man
knoweth
;
yea
,
not
the
Angels
in
Heaven
,
saith
CHRIST
,
Math.
24.42
.
Mark
.
13.32
.
For
this
cause
I
protest
heere
,
and
doe
witnesse
,
that
I
Philip
Nicolaus
will
know
nothing
of
the
mysteriall
things
,
which
GOD
hath
preserved
only
for
himselfe
in
secreete
,
and
will
haue
no
man
to
know
it
,
neither
decree
this
nor
deny
this
:
it
may
well
bee
that
the
last
day
giue
himselfe
to
know
in
the
same
1670
yeares
,
it
may
likewayes
bee
thereafter
,
as
the
people
least
thinke
of
,
and
living
in
their
fleshly
lustes
and
appetites
,
that
the
same
day
stealeth
suddenly
over
them
,
it
may
well
bee
that
the
last
day
commeth
sooner
for
the
cause
of
the
elect
,
who
fervently
and
heartfully
think
long
thereafter
,
that
they
could
once
atteine
an
happie
end
of
all
sinne
,
and
of
all
their
sorrow
,
which
both
the
world
,
and
the
Divell
afflicteth
them
with
:
for
that
which
GOD
hath
preserved
in
secreete
for
himselfe
,
it
becommeth
vs
not
to
search
therein
:
and
therefore
I
abyde
alone
by
the
revealed
word
,
and
the
holy
propheticall
and
Apostolicall
writings
,
what
the
events
are
on
the
last
day
is
found
written
after
GODS
owne
commandement
,
Revel.

and

which
I
in
the
feare
of
GOD
red
with
great
diligence
,
and
deepe
meditation
,
heerewith
praying
the
Almightie
GOD
,
who
hath
spoken
by
his
holy
Prophets
,
and
Apostles
mouth
,
that
hee
for
his
godly
goodnesse
,
mercifully
will
assist
some
of
his
true
Christians
,
to
reveile
and
cleare
the
secret
mysterie
of
tymes
,
that
are
written
in
Ezekiel
,
Daniel
and
Revelation
.
Therefore
when
I
see
narrowlie
vnto
the
Heavenly
Evangelicall
harvest
,
the
Heavenly
houre
,
and
heavenly
Stadia
,
or
furlongs
:
then
I
can
not
otherwayes
as
precislie
consider
&
meditate
of
the
revealed
times
,
if
wee
will
reckone
over
the
involued
things
which
are
infolded
in
the
holy
BYBLE
:
yet
nowayes
concluded
heereby
,
what
shall
follow
heereafter
.
Where
fore
this
that
I
write
heere
,
I
set
them
not
as
Articles
of
beleefe
,
but
onely
as
the
thing
that
a
Christian
should
desire
and
seeke
after
,
recommending
this
vnto
the
event
of
tyme
:
seing
there
is
no
surer
interpretation
,
and
clearing
of
Prophecies
as
when
they
are
fulfilled
.
O
everlasting
good
GOD
,
the
spring
of
all
wisedome
and
grace
,
inlighten
our
spirits
and
darke
vnderstanding
,
with
the
light
and
clearnesse
of
thy
godly
wisdome
,
with
the
spring
and
fire
of
fervent
charitie
,
that
in
vs
all
worldly
vanities
,
lustes
of
the
flesh
and
spring
of
pryde
,
may
bee
extinguished
and
quenched
by
the
holy
lampe
of
thy
light
,
and
that
wee
may
rejoyce
in
our

excellent

their
visitation
,
did
send
his
owne
Sonne
,
the
Saviour
of
mankynd
,
and
that
of
the
seede
of
Abraham
,
to
stretch
foorth
his
hands
and
armes
,
to
saue
and
imbrace
the
remnant
of
the
lost
sheepe
of
the
house
of
Israel
:
but
when
they
did
contemne
Gods
Fatherly
visitation
,
and
were
offended
with
CHRIST
IESUS
,
&
had
crucified
the
King
of
Glorie
,
as
lykewayes
thereafter
did
persecute
in
the
same
manner
all
his
disciples
,
Apostles
,
and
servants
of
GOD
:
then
GOD
left
them
,
and
gaue
them
over
vnto
themselues
,
and
did
begin
his
mercifull
calling
with
the
Gentiles
,
who
were
strangers
and
aliants
from
the
house
of
Israel
.
By
whose
visitation
likewise
,
wee
may
learne
of
the
mercie
and
justice
of
God
:
for
those
Gentiles
of
Asia
,
and
East-landish
Dominions
,
haue
had
their
owne
tymes
of
GODS
mercifull
visitation
,
but
after
many
sinnes
committed
,
together
with
the
persecution
of
saincts
,
and
contempt
of
the
word
,
GOD
hath
removed
his
Candlestickes
from
them
,
and
hath
given
them
over
vnto
vanities
,
and
lyes
,
and
is
gone
from
them
,
and
now
in
this
last
houre
and
tyme
of
the
world
,
it
hath
pleased
him
to
erect
his
Church
,
and
candlesticke
within
this
Nation
:
And
there
fore
,
O
happie
,
and
thryse
happie
are
wee
,
if
wee
will
acknowledge
the
tymes
of
our
mercifull
visitation
,
and
day
of
our
calling
,
for
the
LORD
of
glorie
is
standing
at
the
doore
of
our
soules
:
and
within
this
Nation
wee
haue
had
our
owne
tymes
,
where
GOD
hath
knocked
long
with
the
hammers
of
his
Word
:
and
appearantly
seing
the
word
is
contemned
,
and
beareth
no
fruite
in
mens
consciences
and
conversations
,
that
GOD
is
departing
from
vs
vnto
another
people
,
and
yet
streatching
foorth
his
armes
,
and
calling
vnto
him
all
true
Christians
,
who
will
turne
vnto
him
and
repent
them
of
their
sinnes
,
for
certainly
there
is
no
sinne
which
hath
abounded
in
those
forraine
Churches
,
but
those
and
more
doth
abound
besides
vs
,
and
giue
the
Church
and
Sainctes
of
GOD
within
this
Nation
bee
not
persecuted
with
publict
Tyrants
,
yet
let
the
wise
Christian
see
how
shee
is
persecuted
,
rent
,
and
divided
within
her selfe
,
which
doeth
prognosticate
a
fearefull
departure
of
our
kynd
GOD
,
and
a
terrible
judgement
to
hang
over
our
heads
,
and
would
to
God
I
say
that
our
judgement
bee
not
worse
of
all
,
if
we
take
not
heede
in
tyme
:
Therefore
let
vs
bee
wise
,
and
learne
of
the
figge
tree
,
and
of
these
tokens
,
to
prepare
our selues
for
our
Bridegroome
the
LORD
IESUS
second
comming
in
the
clowdes
.
Iohn
the
Baptist
a
forerunner
of
the
Messias
,
the
first
trumpet
of
the
Ghospell
,
is
heere
crying
out
,
according
to
the
Prophecie
of
Isaiah
,
Prepare
the
wayes
of
the
LORD
,
make
his
pathes
streight
,
against
the
first
comming
of
the
Messias
.
Amend
your
liues
for
the
Kingdome
of
grace
is
at
hand
,
and
is
to
bee
offered
in
the
LORD
IESUS
to
everie
true
penitent
,
and
belieuer
of
the
Ghospell
.
Now
in
those
dayes
our
onely
high
Priest
and
Prophet
,
is
crying
vnto
vs
,
and
learning
vs
by
the
Parable
of
the
figge
tree
in
the
Ghospell
,
that
the
Kingdome
of
glorie
is
at
hand
.
Mat.
24.32
.
And
that
wee
should
lift
vp
our
heads
,
working
our
salvation
in
feare
and
trembling
,
waitting
for
the
day
of
the
LORD
,
for
he
beeing
the
first
trumpet
of
the
Ghospell
in
those
dayes
,
his
onely
matter
and
aime
was
,
in
respect
of
the
great
defection
,
and
diversitie
of
religion
amongst
the
Iewes
:
as
likewise
their
true
worship
of
God
,
was
turned
into
a
Pharisaicall
and
selfe
loue
of
themselves
;
therefore
hee
was
busie
preparing
the
first
way
and
comming
of
the
LORD
,
and
importing
vnto
them
a
Kingdome
of
grace
to
bee
at
hand
,
and
therefore
did
exhort
them
vnto
repentance
,
that
they
might
enter
and
goe
in
into
that
Church
militant
heere
on
earth
by
this
Kingdome
of
grace
,
now
to
bee
offered
,
and
reveiled
vnto
them
in
the
Messias
,
that
thereafter
they
might
bee
found
worthie
against
the
second
comming
of
the
Lord
,
to
enter
into
the
Church
triumphant
,
and
Kingdome
of
glorie
..
Our
Iohn
the
Baptists
,
and
preachers
in
our
tymes
,
haue
greater
occasion
,
yea
all
preaching
stooles
whatsoever
,
being
now
the
last
trumpets
of
the
Ghospell
,
haue
matter
enough
to
cry
out
in
those
words
:
Repent
for
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
is
at
hand
:
even
that
Kingdome
of
glorie
,
where
the
Messias
is
not
in
his
first
comming
,
in
the
lykenesse
of
a
servant
,
and
in
the
basenesse
of
his
flesh
,
to
offer
more
the
Kingdome
of
grace
and
mercie
,
in
errecting
a
Church
militant
heere
on
earth
,
as
in
the
dayes
of
Iohn
the
Baptist
:
But
now
certainly
comming
in
his
second
comming
in
the
clouds
,
convoyed
of
all
the
Angels
,
and
trowpes
of
HEAVEN
,
as
a
powerfull
judge
,
in
full
majesticall
glorie
,
to
rander
everie
man
according
to
his
workes
,
where
grace
and
mercie
shall
cease
to
bee
more
offered
,
and
where
all
happie
Saincts
and
blessed
Elect
,
who
were
partakers
of
that
Kingdome
of
grace
,
in
the
Church
militant
heere
on
earth
,
shall
bee
gathred
in
that
triumphant
,
and
glorious
Church
in
the
Heavens
for
ever
.
O
blessed
and
thryse
blessed
is
that
soule
,
who
findeth
and
approveth
himselfe
by
the
touchstone
of
repentance
,
to
bee
a
member
in
this
Kingdome
of
grace
,
and
Church
militant
heere
on
earth
:
hee
shall
be
preferred
and
linked
so
fast
vnto
this
blessed
happinesse
and
endlesse
joy
of
all
Saincts
:
also
that
no
creature
in
Heaven
nor
in
earth
,
no
,
the
gates
of
hell
can
separate
him
from
it
.
Therefore
how
diligent
should
wee
bee
to
imbrace
this
Kingdome
of
grace
,
in
these
latter
tymes
:
seing
the
world
is
suncken
into
meere
sinne
and
vanitie
,
and
all
abhominations
haue
taken
vpper
hand
,
yea
all
signes
and
tokens
prophecied
in
Scriptures
are
fulfilled
,
so
that
there
resteth
nothing
,
except
onely
the
signe
of
the
Sonne
of
man
comming
in
the
clouds
to
judge
the
world
,
and
take
acompt
of
our
actions
,
and
which
wee
may
as
sure
expect
daylie
to
come
,
as
wee
are
certaine
of
things
past
:
For
Heaven
and
earth
will
perish
,
but
one
jote
or
one
word
of
the
LORD
shall
not
perish
.
This
spirituall
echo
resembleth
well
in
our
eares
,
as
Iohn
the
Baptist
would
say
,
I
exhort
you
to
repent
,
because
of
those
miserable
times
,
in
that
godlinesse
amongst
you
is
thinne
,
and
Pharisaicall
decisions
,
and
other
diversities
is
in
your
Church
,
as
likewise
all
sinne
,
and
wickednesse
aboundeth
amongst
you
,
and
the
Kingdome
of
grace
is
at
hand
,
now
to
bee
offered
in
the
Messias
,
and
Sonne
of
GOD
CHRIST
IESUS
,
and
which
Kingdome
of
grace
,
who
so
receaveth
by
faith
and
repentance
,
now
in
this
last
time
of
your
calling
,
shall
inherit
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
,
and
Kingdome
of
glorie
,
and
which
Kingdome
of
Heaven
,
no
man
can
attaine
vnto
,
without
this
true
repentance
,
and
amendement
of
life
,
and
which
notable
trumpet
of
repentance
,
may
verie
well
bee
applyed
vnto
this
age
:
Therefore
thou
who
readest
this
,
and
thou
who
bearest
this
,
repent
,
amend
thy
life
,
in
regard
of
those
evill
and
latter
dayes
,
in
that
true
godlinesse
is
thinne
amongst
vs
,
and
true
religion
,
is
rent
and
covered
with
all
sort
of
schismes
,
and
diversities
in
the
Church
of
GOD
,
and
the
whole
earth
is
overladen
with
wickednesse
,
and
sencelesse
securitie
:
Let
vs
now
lift
vp
our
heads
,
and
light
vp
the
lamps
of
our
hearts
,
for
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
is
at
hand
,
where
once
grace
shall
rest
to
bee
offered
,
at
which
tyme
all
true
penitents
shall
bee
gathered
,
and
inherite
that
blessed
glorious
,
and
everlasting
Kingdome
of
Heaven
.
The
spirituall
meaning
of
this
text
,
importeth
a
circumstance
and
necessitie
of
this
repentance
,
as
if
hee
would
say
,
for
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
is
at
hand
:
and
therefore
it
is
necessare
that
yee
repent
,
and
amend
,
for
who
so
desireth
to
bee
partakers
of
this
Kingdome
of
Heaven
,
hee
can
not
come
without
this
repentance
:
Also
that
this
repentance
is
such
a
necessare
thing
,
that
thou
canst
not
attaine
vnto
salvation
without
it
;
yea
,
thou
canst
not
bee
more
saued
in
the
day
of
the
LORD
without
repentance
,
then
Noah
was
saved
without
the
Arke
from
the
Flood
.
O
happie
is
hee
and
thryse
happie
,
who
attaineth
vnto
this
sanctified
repentance
,
it
is
the
pricke
of
conscience
,
it
is
the
verie
sacrifice
and
faith
of
Abraham
:
it
is
the
sacrificing
knyfe
to
mortifie
the
outward
man
.
It
is
the
firie
and
fervent
burning
zeale
of
the
soule
,
accompanied
and
endued
with
the
spirit
of
prayer
,
and
godly
sorrow
,
quenched
with
the
teares
of
true
repentance
,
and
with
a
comfortable
joy
,
and
feeling
of
the
mercies
of
GOD
,
yea
,
it
bringeth
vs
vnto
the
verie
sacrifice
it selfe
,
vnto
the
which
Isaack
was
a
type
:
namely
,
vnto
true
faith
in
the
Blood
of
IESVS
.
It
is
the
budding
rodde
of
Aaron
,
which
shall
bring
foorth
such
blossomes
of
a
godly
lyfe
,
and
joy
in
the
holy
spirit
heere
in
this
earthly
tabernacle
,
and
in
the
morning
in
the
Tabernacle
of
the
testimonie
:
that
is
,
when
the
evening
of
thy
time
is
past
,
and
thou
art
brought
vnto
the
morning
of
thy
endlesse
rest
,
either
by
death
,
or
the
day
of
the
LORD
:
then
shall
it
budde
and
blossome
vnto
thee
such
fruites
of
endlesse
and
vnspeakable
happinesse
,
as
no
tongue
can
bee
able
to
expresse
,
nor
heart
to
thinke
of
.
It
is
the
strong
hand
of
Iacob
,
who
by
faith
will
wrestle
,
and
take
such
holde
on
CHRIST
,
that
it
will
never
leaue
him
,
vntill
the
time
hee
be
blessed
.
Therefore
good
Christian
let
vs
consider
,
what
excellent
times
,
and
occasion
,
wee
haue
as
yet
to
day
to
repent
,
while
that
the
gates
of
grace
are
open
,
let
vs
runne
to
this
throne
of
grace
,
so
long
as
it
is
offered
in
the
Ghospell
,
and
not
delay
the
time
of
our
repentance
.
Now
is
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
at
hand
,
even
that
glorious
Kingdome
of
IESVS
,
when
the
gates
of
grace
shall
bee
shut
,
and
never
offered
no
more
,
when
no
repentance
,
teares
or
prayers
will
prevaile
.
Now
I
say
,
in
this
last
evening
and
houre
of
the
world
,
so
long
as
CHRIST
is
standing
knocking
with
the
hammer
of
his
Ghospell
at
the
doore
of
thy
soule
,
refuse
not
to
open
,
least
the
time
of
his
standing
be
now
out
,
and
thou
then
bee
left
and
locked
without
the
doores
of
his
mercie
,
as
a
wretchfull
and
woefull
reprobate
for
ever
:
then
vnhappie
man
that
euer
thou
was
borne
,
thou
shall
then
repent
,
but
too
late
,
and
all
thy
repentance
is
then
but
aggravating
of
thy
sorrowes
,
and
never
dying
torments
in
hell
for
ever
.
The
rich
Glutton
and
reprobate
,
already
there
,
would
giue
the
whole
earth
if
they
did
possesse
it
,
to
haue
the
time
,
place
,
and
meanes
of
grace
offered
vnto
them
,
as
now
wee
haue
:
but
they
can
not
redeeme
this
time
with
thousands
of
worlds
,
&
mountaines
of
gold
;
not
so
much
therefore
be
eased
as
for
a
minute
of
an
houre
out
of
their
never
dying
torments
.
Therefore
I
would
request
the
resonable
man
,
who
in
some
sence
hath
gotten
a
sight
and
tast
of
the
mercies
of
GOD
,
and
of
thy
effectuall
calling
in
IESUS
CHRIST
,
to
consider
,
meditate
,
and
ponder
with
thy selfe
of
the
fearefull
event
,
and
end
of
the
world
now
at
hand
:
and
therefore
to
preasse
with
all
diligence
to
frame
thy
lyfe
and
conversation
according
to
the
prescript
word
of
GOD
,
and
let
our
myndes
be
so
occupied
about
heavenly
things
dayly
and
hourely
,
attending
the
comming
of
our
LORD
IESUS
CHRIST
,
who
assuredly
finding
the
lampe
of
thine
heart
prepared
,
with
the
oyle
of
grace
,
and
teares
of
sanctified
repentance
,
will
at
that
day
transforme
,
and
metamorphose
thine
earthie
tabernacle
into
an
immortall
body
,
where
both
soule
and
body
shall
enjoy
that
joy
of
all
joyes
,
which
is
to
behold
the
most
comfortable
sight
of
GOD
himselfe
:
yea
,
that
blessed
contemplation
of
the
holy
Trinitie
,
wherewith
thy
glorified
soule
shall
bee
filled
so
with
such
an
vnexpressible
and
vnspeakable
blessed
joy
comming
from
this
maine
Ocean
,
and
fountaine
of
all
happinesse
,
that
it
shall
overflow
with
joy
,
that
it
can
not
bee
able
to
conteane
more
joy
of
it selfe
,
than
the
presence
alone
,
and
contemplation
of
GOD
,
which
hee
himselfe
shall
fill
it
with
:
yea
,
ever
enjoying
and
rejoycing
,
and
never
wearying
;
but
ever
praising
and
gloriefying
GOD
in
all
eternitie
,
which
blessednesse
is
the
joy
of
all
Sainctes
,
and
Elect
,
and
will
be
motion
eneugh
vnto
them
,
to
rouse
and
waken
Gods
children
,
for
attending
the
LORD
IESUS
second
comming
in
the
clowdes
,
and
not
to
delay
the
tyme
of
their
repentance
:
but
as
for
the
secure
man
,
who
hast
not
atteined
vnto
a
sense
of
this
joy
,
neither
knowest
thou
what
this
meaneth
,
it
shall
bee
little
helpe
vnto
him
,
because
hee
is
sleeping
in
senselesse
securitie
,
hee
may
well
dreame
of
these
joyes
,
but
he
hath
no
benefite
of
them
,
because
hee
accounteth
more
of
worldly
things
,
and
hath
a
benummed
conscience
,
that
he
hath
eyes
and
sees
not
,
eares
and
heares
not
,
a
heart
and
yet
can
not
vnderstand
.
Hee
is
like
Adam
new
made
,
lying
before
GOD
,
created
with
his
whole
members
,
and
yet
hath
no
vse
of
them
,
vntill
the
LORD
breath
in
a
living
soule
&
spirit
in
him
,
then
shall
he
be
brought
to
conceaue
of
spirituall
things
,
and
so
consequently
to
this
repentance
.
Yet
I
hope
there
is
none
so
voide
of
knowledge
,
albeit
vnregenerate
,
but
hee
shall
bee
driven
to
learne
and
consider
with
himselfe
,
either
by
the
law
and
order
of
nature
,
or
by
the
law
of
conscience
:
this
one
object
especially
,
the
end
of
his
being
or
creation
,
which
I
think
there
is
no
man
,
albeit
he
would
forget
GOD
,
and
not
once
dreame
of
him
,
yet
hee
will
haue
a
regard
of
him selfe
,
and
seing
hee
findeth
himselfe
to
haue
a
being
and
life
,
for
if
it
had
pleased
God
thou
hadst
not
beene
at
all
,
therefore
seing
thy
being
and
life
is
not
with
the
beastes
,
vnreasonable
;
but
such
a
reasonable
life
and
soule
,
as
that
thou
considerest
that
all
other
things
,
whatsoever
in
the
world
created
,
Sunne
,
Moone
,
starres
,
elements
,
tree
,
hearb
,
beasts
,
and
everie
living
creature
,
are
all
subject
,
and
made
for
thy
service
,
therefore
thou
canst
not
but
conclude
,
albeit
thou
hadst
no
other
teachers
,
as
the
light
of
nature
or
the
light
of
conscience
,
but
that
the
end
of
thine
owne
creation
must
bee
to
serue
GOD
,
the
only
Maker
,
moover
,
and
governour
of
all
thinges
:
and
so
having
considered
that
thou
hast
a
GOD
and
Master
to
serue
,
thou
canst
not
haue
such
a
base
estimation
,
but
that
thou
must
giue
account
of
thy
service
,
and
the
good
servant
will
often
meditate
the
day
and
tyme
of
account
in
his
Masters
absence
,
and
will
calculate
and
prease
with
all
diligence
to
haue
his
count
cleare
against
his
Masters
comming
,
especially
not
knowing
the
tyme
of
his
comming
:
which
consideration
,
albeit
thou
werst
an
Athiest
,
thou
shall
bee
driven
vnto
it
,
either
by
the
light
of
nature
,
or
light
of
conscience
:
but
deare
Brother
wee
are
more
abundantly
taught
,
as
by
these
especially
in
this
our
age
,
who
are
borne
vnder
the
Ghospell
of
IESUS
CHRIST
,
which
great
mercie
of
GOD
towards
vs
is
vnexpressible
.
Art
thou
therefore
a
man
into
whose
heart
this
mercie
is
not
as
yet
impressed
?
and
that
thou
hast
not
regarded
nor
considered
,
what
GOD
hath
learned
thee
out
of
his
Word
,
nor
dost
not
marke
how
GOD
this
long
tyme
bygone
hath
stand
knocking
with
the
hammers
and
trumpets
of
his
Evangell
,
at
the
doore
of
thy
soule
,
so
that
thou
resemblest
no
more
a
Christian
,
yet
I
pray
thee
resemble
the
Heathen
heerein
,
and
let
either
thy
owne
conscience
tell
thee
,
or
the
law
of
nature
teach
thee
,
that
all
things
serveth
for
thy
vse
and
service
;
and
so
consequently
thou
for
the
vse
of
GOD
,
and
to
his
service
:
that
is
,
either
for
a
vessel
of
his
glory
in
the
Heavens
for
ever
,
or
for
a
spectacle
of
his
justice
in
the
paines
and
torments
of
hell
for
ever
;
and
that
thou
must
make
account
of
thy
actions
at
the
great
day
of
account
.
Wilt
thou
neither
imitate
Christian
nor
Heathen
heerein
?
not
letting
teach
thee
by
the
Word
of
GOD
,
law
of
nature
,
or
light
of
conscience
,
yet
reject
not
feare
with
the
vnreasonable
beast
,
for
all
beasts
whatsomever
haue
a
kynd
of
feare
,
and
will
avoide
(
if
they
can
)
any
paine
or
torment
,
therefore
haue
some
feare
of
thy selfe
,
els
what
shall
become
of
thee
heereafter
at
death
:
and
if
thou
reject
not
this
feare
,
yet
thou
shall
bee
brought
so
farre
as
to
consider
the
end
of
thy
being
and
creation
,
which
is
to
serue
GOD
,
and
which
service
thou
must
make
account
of
one
day
,
that
is
,
at
the
day
of
judgement
,
which
albeit
it
should
bee
prolonged
some
hundreth
yeares
,
yet
wee
see
by
dayly
experience
,
how
death
without
exception
,
and
exspectation
of
many
,
doeth
violently
compell
all
estates
,
young
and
old
vnto
this
account
,
so
that
no
man
is
certaine
of
the
end
of
his
lyfe
.
But
what
shall
I
say
,
this
death
is
so
commoun
,
little
feared
,
and
nothing
regarded
;
also
that
worldly
men
promisse
vnto
them selues
length
of
dayes
,
and
tyme
of
repentance
before
death
come
.
The
young
man
in
respect
of
his
youth
and
abilitie
will
dreame
of
a
long
lyfe
,
and
yet
often
cutte
off
before
hee
expect
.
The
old
man
going
in
the
brinck
of
his
graue
,
doth
promisse
himselfe
no
suddaine
death
,
and
the
tyme
of
his
repentance
to
come
soone
eneugh
,
in
respect
GOD
is
mercifull
,
and
yet
,
before
that
ever
hee
exspect
,
hee
is
so
choaked
,
and
cruelly
beset
,
and
invironed
lykewayes
with
the
pangues
of
death
,
that
in
no
manner
of
way
once
is
hee
able
to
meditate
vpon
repentance
,
in
respect
of
the
suddaine
sorrowes
,
and
of
the
cruell
passions
of
death
,
which
mightily
ever-whelmeth
the
whole
bodie
of
him
in
an
eye
blink
:
yea
,
in
a
verie
moment
of
tyme
,
and
dryveth
the
soule
by
violence
out
of
the
bodie
,
vnto
the
Maker
thereof
,
and
there
for
to
render
account
of
its
doings
,
whether
it
hath
beene
good
or
evill
:
and
therefore
O
Christian
,
seing
that
repentance
is
such
a
pretious
jewell
,
studie
by
all
meanes
to
worke
out
thy
salvation
in
feare
and
in
trembling
.
And
yet
the
worldly
man
:
I
say
not
only
the
worldly
man
,
but
when
I
looke
and
consider
the
doings
of
men
,
that
the
whole
world
for
the
greatest
part
are
sleeping
in
such
senselesse
security
,
that
they
are
rather
dreaming
with
the
Athiest
of
no
death
,
and
if
death
,
yet
no
resurrection
,
no
judgement
no
paine
,
no
torment
,
no
blesse
,
nor
endlesse
joy
vnto
themselues
,
and
leading
such
a
negligent
and
carelesse
life
;
that
I
am
assured
they
doe
not
once
thinke
of
the
last
day
,
much
lesse
of
any
accoumpt
to
make
of
their
doings
at
the
day
of
judgment
:
But
I
will
assure
thee
that
the
day
of
the
LORD
is
comming
,
to
rander
everie
man
according
to
his
workes
:
Well
,
thou
may
sleepe
secure
in
the
bosome
of
worldly
vanities
,
such
a
short
space
as
thou
canst
,
but
the
day
is
at
hand
,
when
thou
shall
bee
fearefully
wakned
with
the
trumpet
of
Angels
,
and
troupes
of
Heaven
,
when
thou
shall
bee
in
a
moment
metamorphosed
from
a
mortall
creature
,
into
an
never
and
ever
dying
vessell
,
and
spectacle
of
GODS
wrath
,
where
thou
shalt
stand
naked
in
the
sight
of
all
creatures
,
when
as
thy
doings
neglegence
and
secure
life
,
with
all
thy
sinnes
that
thou
small
accoumptest
of
before
,
shall
bee
raised
as
mountaines
in
the
view
and
presence
of
thy
conscience
,
and
shall
beare
witnesse
against
thee
:
yea
,
shall
overwhelme
thee
with
endlesse
sorrows
in
the
bottomlesse
pit
of
despare
,
and
gulfe
of
Hell
,
where
they
shall
torment
thee
for
ever
:
thou
being
forsaken
,
and
put
out
of
the
presence
of
GOD
,
as
a
woefull
reprobat
,
subject
vnto
devilish
torments
:
For
if
nothing
moue
thee
,
yet
let
feare
moue
thee
,
and
hast
thou
so
much
as
feare
of
thy selfe
,
with
the
vnreasonable
beasts
?
then
feare
GOD
,
feare
his
Majestie
,
feare
his
infinite
power
and
justice
,
and
repent
and
amend
thy
life
,
without
the
which
thou
canst
not
be
fred
from
hellish
torments
.
Wilt
thou
not
feare
GOD
!
yet
feare
because
of
the
Devill
,
in
that
hee
is
appointed
for
a
tormenter
of
all
vnpenitents
,
feare
Hell
,
feare
never
dying
paine
and
torment
,
feare
the
devils
malice
,
and
thou
shall
be
brought
at
last
to
some
practise
of
repentance
:
Art
thou
so
farre
come
that
thou
art
affraied
of
thy selfe
,
it
is
something
,
I
pray
thee
then
,
let
this
feare
moue
thee
so
farre
,
as
to
heare
diligently
GODS
Word
,
partake
the
sacraments
,
vse
the
meanes
of
grace
,
pray
to
GOD
albeit
thy
prayer
bee
imperfite
,
and
but
lip
labour
,
lye
and
waite
at
the
poole
of
Bethesda
:
which
will
,
and
obedience
of
thy selfe
,
this
feare
may
worke
in
thee
,
and
yet
thou
being
a
vnregenerat
man
,
it
can
helpe
nothing
in
the
inward
worke
of
this
repentance
,
but
yet
art
thou
thus
well
exercised
:
Now
in
the
tyme
of
grace
,
and
lying
at
the
poole
of
Bethesda
,
and
gates
of
grace
.
Hast
thou
attained
so
much
as
a
desire
of
this
repentance
;
then
I
am
assured
the
LORD
shall
pittie
thy
hard
case
,
and
the
Angel
shall
come
downe
and
moue
the
watter
,
and
thou
shall
bee
washen
from
thy
sinne
and
leprosie
.
Wilt
thou
thus
thrust
thy selfe
in
where
CHRIST
is
,
and
thirst
after
this
repentance
,
then
assuredly
some
tyme
there
shall
goe
one
vertue
or
other
from
him
,
which
shall
alter
and
change
thy
hard
heart
into
an
heart
of
waxe
,
so
that
it
shall
melt
with
the
sorrowfull
teares
of
repentance
,
and
CHRIST
shall
giue
them
of
the
Well
of
the
water
of
lyfe
freely
,
who
thirsteth
after
it
,
which
when
thou
hast
a
teined
vnto
a
kynd
of
repentance
,
then
marke
well
it
bee
this
,
which
briefly
hath
these
infallible
tokens
,
and
methode
in
it selfe
,
true
and
sanctified
repentance
indeede
,
that
is
,
(
I
say
)
after
a
sensible
sight
and
confession
of
thy
sinne
,
thou
art
accompanied
with
the
teares
of
true
repentance
,
out
of
a
contrite
and
broken
heart
,
where
thou
dost
reape
faith
in
the
mercies
of
GOD
the
Father
,
through
IESUS
CHRIST
,
and
joy
in
the
holy
GHOST
,
budding
foorth
in
the
fruites
of
a
godly
lyfe
,
and
holie
conversation
,
these
are
infallible
tokens
of
the
true
children
of
GOD
,
and
are
so
fast
linked
together
,
that
they
can
not
bee
separated
from
others
.
Art
thou
therefore
vnregenerate
,
yet
sleeping
in
dead
securitie
?
Hast
thou
not
gotten
a
sight
and
sense
of
thy
sin
?
Thy
cace
is
fearefull
,
for
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
is
at
hand
,
when
the
divell
shall
lay
all
thy
sins
before
thee
,
where
thou
shall
bee
wakned
with
a
fearefull
and
terrible
sight
of
thy
miserie
.
Hast
thou
not
as
yet
confessed
thy
sinnes
in
private
before
thy
GOD
,
and
accused
thy selfe
of
thy
transgressions
?
thy
estate
is
to
bee
pittied
,
the
day
of
the
LORD
is
at
hand
,
when
thou
must
confesse
them
publicklie
against
thy
will
,
where
the
Devill
shall
accuse
thee
:
yea
,
thy
owne
conscience
shall
tell
thee
that
thou
art
justly
condemned
and
cast
away
for
ever
.
Hast
thou
not
sorrowed
with
the
teares
of
true
repentance
?
The
tyme
is
at
hand
,
when
thou
shall
with
a
desperate
sorrow
so
lament
and
bewaile
thy
miserable
estate
,
that
thou
shall
never
bee
comforted
out
of
thy
endlesse
miserie
,
and
never
dying
paine
.
Hast
not
thine
heart
as
yet
conceaved
a
certaine
joy
in
the
holy
GHOST
,
and
faith
of
the
mercies
of
GOD
in
his
Sonne
CHRIST
IESUS
:
then
O
poore
soule
,
and
catiue
creature
,
albeit
thou
wert
a
Monarch
,
and
hade
the
riches
of
Croesus
,
yet
thy
cace
is
most
miserable
and
lamentable
:
then
I
say
O
desperate
creature
,
I
pray
thee
delay
not
the
tyme
of
thy
repentance
,
but
goe
and
sell
all
that
thou
posessest
,
for
this
precious
Iewell
,
and
arlepennie
of
thy
salvation
,
for
the
day
of
the
LORD
is
at
hand
,
when
thou
shall
bee
shut
out
of
that
endlesse
joy
and
rest
for
ever
,
and
then
shall
reape
no
faith
in
the
mercies
of
GOD
;
but
such
a
doolefull
and
miserable
desperation
out
of
the
justice
of
GOD
,
that
thou
shalt
curse
the
verie
day
of
thy
birth
and
nativitie
.
Hast
thou
not
hated
the
Devill
and
thy
sinne
heere
in
this
life
,
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
is
at
hand
,
when
as
the
Divell
and
thy
sinne
,
shall
so
hate
thee
with
a
perpetuall
hatred
,
and
torment
thee
in
the
Hell
for
ever
.
Hast
thou
not
kythed
heere
in
this
lyfe
,
the
fruites
of
true
repentance
,
in
glorifying
GOD
,
and
in
charitable
and
mercifull
workes
vnto
thy
brethren
,
I
will
assure
thee
,
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
is
at
hand
,
when
as
God
shall
be
glorified
in
thy
endlesse
ruyne
and
destruction
,
where
no
mercie
nor
charitie
shall
bee
kythed
on
thee
,
but
most
horrible
and
tyrannous
torments
executed
by
the
Devill
and
his
Angels
:
O
miserie
of
all
miseries
!
O
paine
of
all
paines
▪
and
never
dying
torments
,
how
horrible
and
fearefull
is
thy
rememberance
?
Oh
Father
Abraham
,
who
in
thy
lifetime
was
a
paterne
of
mercie
and
pittie
,
on
the
poore
and
indigent
,
how
art
thou
thus
disposed
,
as
not
to
pittie
the
poore
catiue
,
and
tormented
Dives
in
Hell
fire
,
and
send
Lazarus
vnto
him
,
that
hee
may
dip
the
top
of
his
finger
in
water
to
coole
his
tongue
,
in
such
fire
and
vnquenchable
flame
?
or
how
doest
thou
not
comfort
him
in
his
miserie
,
that
it
shall
either
end
from
him
,
or
hee
from
it
,
which
would
haue
giuen
this
poore
damned
and
tormented
Dives
some
contentment
:
but
I
see
thou
dost
rather
rejoyce
as
to
haue
pitie
in
that
it
tendeth
vnto
the
glorie
and
justice
of
GOD
,
and
that
his
paine
is
endlesse
,
and
never
shall
bee
eased
,
how
terrible
should
the
consideration
bee
vnto
a
good
Christian
of
the
straitnesse
of
this
torments
,
and
perpetuitie
of
paine
for
ever
.
But
on
the
contrare
,
art
thou
a
soule
who
hast
repented
of
thy
former
transgressions
,
and
dost
repent
dayly
of
thy
infirmities
,
who
hast
attained
vnto
this
sanctified
sorrow
,
out
of
the
which
thou
hast
conceaved
the
hony
of
true
repentance
,
namely
joy
in
the
holy
GHOST
,
faith
in
the
mercies
of
GOD
in
his
Sonne
CHRIST
IESUS
,
it
is
a
certaine
token
thou
art
a
child
of
God
▪
and
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
,
which
thy
soule
thirsteth
after
is
at
hand
,
where
thou
shalt
injoy
that
fulnesse
and
summe
of
all
blessed
joy
,
with
all
the
Sainctes
and
Angels
in
the
Heavens
for
ever
:
which
glorious
,
blessed
,
and
everlasting
Kingdome
of
GOD
is
so
furnished
with
joyes
,
that
no
creature
in

This
is
the
promised
crowne
of
glory
,
this
is
the
Paradice
and
place
of
pleasure
,
and
joy
of
all
Saincts
,
this
is
the
hidden
Manna
which
no
man
knoweth
,
but
hee
who
injoyeth
it
,
and
with
DAVID
,
Happie
are
they
that
liue
in
thy
house
O
LORD
,
Psal.

for
they
shall
bee
drunke
with
the
river
of
GODS
divine
pleasures
,
and
with
the
abundance
of
GODS
house
,
Psal.

.
where
wee
shall
see
GOD
which
is
our
chiefe
happinesse
.
Augustine
speaking
of
this
Kingdome
,
sayeth
,
O
joy
aboue
all
joyes
,
passing
all
joyes
,
and
without
which
there
is
no
joy
:
when
shall
I
enter
into
thee
,
when
shall
I
injoy
thee
,
to
see
my
GOD
that
dwelleth
in
thee
?
O
everlasting
Kingdome
!
O
Kingdome
of
all
eternities
!
O
light
without
end
!
O
peace
of
GOD
,
that
passeth
all
vnderstanding
,
in
which
the
soules
of
the
Saincts
doe
rest
with
thee
!
O
Kingdome
of
everlasting
blesse
,
where
thou
O
LORD
the
hope
of
all
Sancts
art
,
and
the
diademe
of
their
perpetuall
glory
,
rejoycing
them
on
everie
side
,
with
thy
blessed
sight
:
In
this
Kingdome
there
is
infinite
joy
,
mirth
without
sadnesse
,
health
without
sorrow
,
life
without
labour
,
light
without
darknesse
,
felicitie
without
abaitment
,
all
goodnesse
without
evill
,
where
youth
floorisheth
that
never
waxeth
old
:
life
that
knoweth
no
end
,
beautie
that
never
fadeth
,
loue
that
never
cooleth
,
health
that
never
diminisheth
,
joy
that
never
ceaseth
,
where
sorrow
is
never
felt
,
complaint
is
never
heard
,
matter
of
sadnesse
is
never
seene
,
nor
evill
successe
is
never
feared
for
that
they
possesse
thee
O
LORD
,
which
art
the
perfection
of
their
felicitie
.
Oh
deare
brother
into
this
verie
moment
of
life
,
whereon
dependeth
all
eternitie
,
why
should
wee
delay
our
repentance
,
when
I
looke
vnto
the
world
with
my
spirituall
eyes
,
I
wonder
to
see
how
the
most
part
of
men
,
wearie
themselues
in
vanitie
,
and
in
the
triffle
of
worldly
things
,
neglecting
this
Heavenly
treasure
and
Kingdome
of
all
happinesse
:
why
doth
not
rather
now
all
men
,
in
the
last
moment
of
tymes
,
runne
after
this
Kingdome
in
buying
this
pure
and
tryed
gold
of
CHRIST
IESUS
:
It
is
a
lamentable
and
inward
griefe
of
true
Christians
,
to
see
almost
the
whole
world
so
busied
,
and
exercised
in
buying
straw
in
Egypt
,
where
as
they
could
buy
fine
gold
with
lesse
labour
,
and
at
a
lower
pryce
:
is
it
not
now
tyme
for
worldly
men
,
to
follow
the
doctrine
of
CHRIST
,
and
sell
all
that
ever
they
haue
to
purchase
this
Kingdome
?
and
the
example
of
Paul
,
who
esteemed
all
the
world
as
dung
,
in
respect
of
this
Iewell
,
and
Ignatius
,
who
saith
,
fire
,
gallows
,
beastes
,
breaking
of
my
bones
,
quartring
of
my
members
,
crushing
of
my
bodie
,
all
the
torments
of
the
Devill
together
,
let
them
come
vpon
me
so
I
may
injoy
this
treasure
of
Heaven
:
and
Augustine
who
was
content
to
suffer
torments
everie
day
,
yea
the
verie
torments
of
Hell
it selfe
to
haue
this
joy
.
Oh
how
few
considreth
this
Kingdome
of
Heaven
to
bee
at
hand
,
and
how
many
are
they
who
bestow
their
tyme
in
vanitie
,
pleasures
,
and
delyts
of
the
world
,
so
that
men
all
most
are
bent
to
wickednesse
,
and
abhomination
,
which
is
an
infallible
token
,
that
destruction
is
imminent
,
and
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
is
at
hand
:
and
seing
all
tokens
and
prophecies
are
fulfiled
in
the
Scripture
,
whereby
it
is
most
certaine
that
the
day
of
the
LORD
is
at
hand
,
so
is
the
hardnesse
of
the
heart
and
wickednesse
of
mankynde
likewise
a
true
token
and
a
note
of
imminent
destruction
,
as
is
evident
by
all
examples
of
the
holy
Scripture
,
how
it
hath
beene
the
forme
of
worldlings
and
reprobate
persons
to
harden
their
hearts
,
and
double
their
sinnes
against
the
day
of
vengeance
:
So
was
it
in
the
dayes
of
Sodome
&
Gomorrah
,
who
could
not
bee
warned
of
Lots
exhortations
,
but
hardned
their
hearts
and
doubled
their
iniquities
:
Iudas
wicked
resolution
could
not
bee
changed
by
his
masters
forewarning
presently
before
his
imminent
destruction
,
neither
the
Iewes
would
take
heede
vnto
all
the
prophecies
,
or
plagues
hanging
over
them
,
but
hardned
their
hearts
against
all
exhortations
,
preachings
,
promises
,
and
thundrings
made
by
Prophets
,
proceeding
in
such
an
excesse
in
sinne
,
and
defection
from
GOD
,
hard
before
their
vtter
ruine
,
and
destruction
executed
by
Titus
.
And
when
we
conferre
to
these
former
examples
,
those
of
our
dayes
and
latter
times
how
mercifully
and
abundantlie
is
GOD
warning
,
and
crying
vs
to
repentance
and
amendement
of
life
,
by
faithfull
Preachers
of
his
Ghospell
.
But
who
heareth
and
repenteth
,
where
is
the
worldly
and
avaritious
man
,
who
hath
amended
his
life
,
and
turned
from
his
avarice
,
or
where
is
the
prodigall
man
who
hath
left
his
prodigalitie
,
and
is
clothing
the
naked
and
feeding
the
hungrie
,
or
where
is
the
proud
and
ambitious
man
,
who
is
become
humble
and
lowlie
,
or
where
is
the
false
vsurer
and
deceatfull
man
restoring
it
againe
vnto
the
poore
with
Zacheus
in
the
Ghospell
:
but
rather
all
sinnes
are
prevailing
in
their
highest
degrees
,
drunkennesse
,
adulterie
,
pryde
and
avarice
,
especially
are
become
so
vsuall
and
followed
of
all
men
that
they
are
rather
accoumpted
vertue
than
vice
:
so
that
the
Elect
of
this
age
may
now
sigh
and
cry
out
with
that
holy
Martyre
Policarpus
,
O
Domine
in
quaenam
tempora
nos
reservasti
:
O
LORD
what
perrilous
,
sorrowfull
,
and
miserable
times
lettest
thou
thy
Elect
liue
in
those
dayes
,
what
tyme
or
age
in
the
world
,
since
the
creation
of
Adam
,
hath
more
sinne
and
wickednesse
abounded
,
or
what
time
hath
there
beene
in
old
,
whereinto
charitie
and
trueth
hath
beene
so
cold
,
and
wholly
departed
from
the
hearts
of
men
,
as
now
in
those
dayes
:
and
if
the
ground
of
election
were
not
sure
,
what
a
hard
thing
is
it
,
and
a
matter
of
great
difficultie
for
a
Christian
soule
,
to
attaine
vnto
the
worke
of
his
calling
,
and
persevere
in
true
faith
and
obedience
,
into
those
dangerous
and
latter
times
:
seeing
how
rare
they
are
to
bee
found
,
who
by
a
godly
life
and
conversation
,
sheweth
a
good
example
to
others
,
and
the
Devill
hath
got
such
victory
in
this
age
,
that
he
hath
almost
all
dominions
,
and
powers
of
the
world
vnder
him
,
as
Ambassadours
:
yea
,
most
of
all
creatures
,
are
verie
instruments
for
inlarging
the
Kingdome
of
Sathan
,
who
certainly
goeth
about
like
a
roaring
Lyon
,
seeking
whom
hee
may
devoure
:
seing
hee
feareth
his
hellish
torments
draweth
soone
to
a
beginning
,
and
therefore
striveth
with
all
diligence
,
if
it
were
possible
,
to
lead
and
carie
all
soules
borne
on
the
earth
vnto
endlesse
perdition
,
and
destruction
with
him
:
will
wee
looke
vnto
all
the
estates
of
men
,
both
ciuill
and
eclesiasticall
,
from
the
rich
Monarch
vnto
the
poore
beggar
,
from
the
learned
doctor
and
prelate
,
vnto
the
lowest
deacon
,
from
the
aged
father
,
vnto
the
verie
infant
,
wee
shall
see
now
in
those
dayes
the
hearts
of
Kings
moved
,
and
induced
more
by
Ambassadours
of
Sathan
,
than
by
the
counsell
of
the
godly
,
imbracing
rather
the
counsell
of
subtill
and
treacherous
Achitophell
,
who
standeth
after
the
destruction
and
ruine
of
a
Commonwell
,
than
the
counsell
of
the
old
&
wise
favourer
of
land
and
policie
,
and
that
in
those
last
times
.
How
pittifull
a
thing
it
is
to
see
such
a
consort
of
traitours
to
intrude
themselues
in
the
companie
of
potentats
and
superior
estates
,
who
by
their
deceiving
prctaickes
haue
brought
to
passe
such
fearefull
events
,
in
whole
Europ
,
as
miserable
experience
by
losse
of
life
,
wife
,
children
and
goods
,
hath
proued
vnto
many
thousands
,
within
those
few
yeares
begone
:
Behold
how
nobles
and
men
of
State
,
how
their
hearts
and
eares
are
locked
vp
from
the
cryes
of
the
poore
,
and
repell
their
cryes
without
helpe
,
as
the
stony
rockes
repelleth
the
vaves
of
the
Sea
without
sence
:
looke
vnto
the
lower
estate
of
men
,
thou
shalt
finde
nothing
more
to
abound
than
pryde
,
in
imitating
the
footsteps
and
forme
of
apparell
of
noble
men
,
lust
of
the
flesh
,
in
abusing
the
Temples
of
the
holie
Ghost
with
incest
,
adulterie
,
and
fornication
:
drunkennesse
in
spending
of
their
owne
life
and
meanes
;
behold
the
verie
beggars
,
who
as
men
would
say
,
in
troubles
,
in
necessities
,
and
want
should
worke
and
seeke
that
everlasting
riches
in
the
LORD
,
waiting
for
the
comming
of
the
LORD
IESUS
;
thou
shall
marke
no
hungring
nor
thirsting
after
righteousnesse
in
them
,
but
a
maine
consort
of
ignorance
,
lewde
and
vitious
creatures
,
who
are
more
exercised
and
busied
in
time
of
divyne
service
in
tipling
and
secret
places
,
and
about
their
owne
bodies
,
rather
as
to
finde
them
in
GODS
house
begging
grace
vnto
their
soules
:
will
we
looke
vnto
the
common
course
of
youth
,
thou
shalt
finde
and
heare
the
first
lesson
they
learne
,
is
pryde
,
cursing
,
and
prophaning
of
GODS
Name
,
even
from
their
verie
infancie
:
againe
from
their
youth
to
their
age
,
running
from
one
vice
to
another
,
and
where
then
wee
see
commonly
they
are
more
addicted
vnto
the
worlds
avaritiousnesse
.
and
lewdnesse
,
than
with
any
godlinesse
,
or
goodnesse
,
and
so
most
part
ending
their
dayes
without
repentance
,
they
die
miserablie
without
any
sence
of
their
sinnes
,
and
are
swallowed
vp
at
the
houre
of
death
into
the
horrible
pit
of
despare
,
where
their
torments
doe
beginne
with
never
dying
paine
.
Behold
the
Ecclesiasticall
government
,
thou
shall
see
avarice
and
ambition
so
to
haue
intruded
themselues
amongst
many
of
them
,
so
that
they
seeme
rather
to
digge
earthly
than
heavenlie
treasures
,
resembling
well
the
workemen
of
Noah
,
who
were
good
biggers
,
but
not
possessers
:
so
that
many
Kirkmen
are
good
edifiers
in
the
word
,
but
are
evill
example
givers
:
who
are
so
possessed
,
part
with
ambition
,
and
other
with
avaritiousnesse
of
the
world
,
that
they
seeme
to
neglect
their
owne
salvation
.
Farre
bee
it
said
from
the
worthie
Divine
,
and
faithfull
Preacher
of
the
Ghospell
,
who
seeketh
not
their
owne
glory
and
advancement
,
but
the
advancement
of
GODS
glory
,
and
edifying
of
soules
vnto
GOD
,
all
which
spait
of
iniquitie
,
and
senselesse
securitie
,
are
evident
tokens
I
say
of
imminent
ruine
and
destruction
:
for
this
our
age
liveth
as
secure
of
our selues
,
as
in
the
dayes
of
Noah
,
Sodom
,
and
Gomorrha
,
and
as
the
Iewes
before
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
,
but
how
came
it
to
passe
in
these
dayes
,
when
they
were
most
sure
,
and
expected
least
any
destruction
,
presentlie
the
flouds
of
Heaven
opened
,
and
the
waters
overflowed
the
whole
earth
with
her
creatures
;
the
elements
conjoyned
them selues
in
fire
and
brimstone
,
and
destroyed
Sodom
and
Gomorrha
:
and
when
the
Iewes
cuppe
of
abhomination
was
full
,
GOD
stirred
vp
instruments
amongst
themselues
,
who
presentlie
were
the
cause
of
their
owne
destruction
in
Ierusalem
,
and
the
whole
land
of
Iudea
.
It
is
to
bee
feared
therefore
,
that
it
will
likewise
so
event
in
these
last
dayes
,
when
all
sinne
taketh
the
vpper
hand
,
and
when
men
liue
most
negligently
,
and
carelesse
of
themselues
,
that
then
the
LORD
IESUS
will
come
in
the
clowdes
,
and
take
account
of
the
wickednesse
of
mankynd
.
The
wicked
abhomination
of
mans
heart
,
made
GOD
in
his
wrath
cry
out
,
and
say
,
I
repent
that
ever
I
made
man
,
Genes.
6.6
.
And
certainly
,
if
we
will
view
and
consider
now
in
those
tymes
the
tragedie
of
the
world
,
it
is
placed
in
verie
wickednesse
it selfe
,
and
when
wee
looke
vnto
conscience
of
religion
,
how
many
wonderous
cursed
and
damned
sects
and
opinions
are
spred
on
the
faee
of
the
earth
,
and
everie
man
affirming
Scripture
for
vpholding
their
hereticall
opinion
,
wresting
the
Word
of
GOD
vnto
their
owne
willes
and
inventions
:
O
thou
religion
!
how
art
thou
changed
and
disfigured
,
yea
,
rather
abused
,
how
can
the
simple
soule
knew
thee
,
or
to
what
hand
shall
hee
turne
,
when
so
many
miserable
opinions
are
at
strife
,
2
Cor.
4.
It
is
onelie
the
humble
heart
that
the
trueth
is
manifested
vnto
:
it
is
not
without
cause
that
the
spirit
of
GOD
prophecieth
in
the
Revelation
,
that
thou
shouldest
bee
clothed
in
sackcloth
,
Revel.
11.
yea
thou
art
surelie
disguysed
,
and
most
by
the
great
comfort
of
Antichristians
,
who
are
dispersed
amongst
all
Nations
.
Now
is
the
mother
of
whoredome
mounted
vpon
the
seven
headed
beast
,
that
ten
horned
monster
,
yea
that
old
Dragon
the
devill
hath
given
him
his
power
,
and
hath
printed
on
his
fore
head
the
name
of
blasphemie
,
he
spueth
out
now
a
dayes
vncleane
spirits
,
who
are
ambassadours
to
inlarge
the
Kingdome
of
Sathan
:
so
that
the
Church
may
now
lament
in
the
prophet
Ieremiah
:
Haue
you
no
regard
,
all
yee
that
passe
by
this
way
,
behold
and
see
if
there
bee
any
sorrow
like
vnto
my
sorrow
,
and
that
GOD
is
forced
now
to
speake
,
I
haue
long
tyme
holden
my
peace
,
I
haue
beene
still
and
refrained
my selfe
,
now
will
I
cry
like
a
traweling
woman
,
and
I
shall
destroy
and
devoure
both
at
once
.
O
wicked
and
abhominable
age
!
O
sinfull
and
miserable
generation
!
what
other
object
dost
thou
bring
before
our
eyes
,
but
sinne
and
wickednesse
:
are
not
Kings
opposed
against
Kings
,
and
Nation

,
so
that
the
one
triumpheth
over
other
mens
spoile
:
yea
,
subjects
mutine
against
their
owne
naturall
Prince
,
and
all
sinnes
&
wickednesse
are
conquerours
,
and
drunken
in
by
men
as
water
of
a
thirstie
stomacke
:
what
lying
and
deceiving
,
what
slander
and
shamelesse
villanie
,
is
done
by
all
the
estates
of
men
in
all
places
,
the
generall
voice
of
the
people
is
nothing
els

but
vanitie

whooring
,
detraction
,
and
backbyting

envy
,
deceit
,
drunkennesse
dissimulation
,
wantonnesse
,
flatterie
,
lying
,
swearing
,
perjuring
and
blaspheming
,
so
that
all
abhomination
and
wickednesse
is
growne
to
a
certaine
perfection
and
maturitie
in
those
dayes
,
and
that
the
shoulders
of
this
vniversall
globe
,
is
overlaiden
with
the
wickednesse
of
mankynde
:
The
trumpets
of
GOD
may
now
cry
out
with
the
Prophet
Ieremiah
,
O
yee
Heavens
,
bee
astonied
at
this
:
bee
afraide
and
vtterly
confounded
,
saith
the
LORD
.
And
lastly
,
will
wee
looke
vnto
GODS
creatures
and
vnto
the
elements
,
what
comets
,
signes
,
and
wonderous
tokens
hath
beene
seene
,
and
heard
within
those
few
yeares
,
I
doubt
not
but
it
is
well
knowne
vnto
the
diligent
searcher
,
as
experience
hath
well
taught
,
albeit
not
to
all
in
those
parts
,
yet
in
sundrie
parts
in
Germanie
,
Italie
,
Denmarke
,
and
Norvay
,
are
kythed
fearefull
tokens
,
as
vntimely
birth
,
and
Monsters
borne
in
Denmarke
,
blood
rained
from
the
Heavens
on
the
earth
one
halfe
foote
deepe
,
ashe
,
stones
,
and
fire
rained
from
the
Heavens
in
Island
,
the
pittifull
crying
thryse
of
a
chylde
in
the
mothers
wombe
in
Berone
in
Norvay
.
All
which
I
haue
seene
approved
and
heard
by
experience
,
and
many
more
visions
,
and
terrible
tokens
seene
in
Europ
,
both
by
earthquakes
,
overflowing
of
watters
,
and
fearefull
visions
seene
and
heard
in
the
elements
,
and
witnessed
by
sundrie
:
all
such
things
may
verie
well
teach
vs
that
the
latter
dayes
are
imminent
:
Therefore
hee
that
is
vnjust
let
him
bee
vnjust
still
,
(
saith
CHRIST
)
Revel.

let
the
wicked
man
dwell
in
his
abhominations
,
and
triumph
in
all
kynde
of
wickednesse
,
for
beholde
(
saith
Christ
)
I
come
shortly
,
and
my
reward
is
with
mee
,
to
render
everie
man
according
to
his
workes
.
O
would
to
GOD
wee
could
consider
attentiuelie
the
prospect
of
all
GODS
creatures
,
how
they
teach
vs
dayly
,
that
all
things
draweth
to
their
end
,
all
things
waxe
worse
and
briefer
,
the
earth
giveth
not
her
wonted
fruits
but
worse
:
men
sinneth
with
new
sinnes
,
GOD
plagueth
againe
with
new
sicknesse
,
and
the
life
of
man
commonly
attaineth
not
vnto
former
and
wonted
age
,
and
commonly
cut
off
in
her
first
prime
,
the
waters
giue
not
their
wonted
aboundance
of
creatures
:
the
sunne
and
Moone
misseth
their
wonted
shine
,
and
vertues
,
the
starres
of
Heaven
are
,
turned
into
comets
,
for
preaching
of
GODS
vengeance
:
the
Aire
and
all
elements
are
moved
with
fearefull
and
vnacquainted
tempestuousstormes
,
and
all
thinges
as
it
were
wish
to
bee
disolved
,
so
that
the
earth
is
waerie
,
worne
,
and
overburdened
with
the
wickednesse
of
her
creatures
,
also
that
shee
fainteth
,
trembleth
,
and
wisheth
to
bee
fred
,
and
disburthened
of
her
most
vntolerable
birth
,
all
which
prophecies
fulfilled
,
and
conferred
together
with
the
experience
of
this
our
age
,
there
is
no
spirituall
man
,
but
of
necessitie
must
conclude
,
that
the
day
of
the
LORD
is
at
hand
:
and
if
any
learned
Divines
haue
ought
to
pretend
,
as
yet
not
fulfilled
,
yet
I
perswade
my selfe
there
is
none
of
them
,
but
will
subscryue
to
CHRISTS
owne
words
,
that
the
latter
tymes
shall
bee
shortned
for
the
Elects
sake
.

and
that
all
the
Saints
in
Heaven
are
now
rejoycing
,
and
hoping
for
the
accomplishment
of
the
fulnesse
of
their
joy
,
when
that
soule
and
bodie
may
be
coupled
and
vnited
together
,
and
enter
with
all
the
blessed
Elect
into
that
glorious
and
triumphant
Church
,
and
Kingdome
of
glory
.
Therefore
to
conclude
,
I
say
,
Will
nothing
moue
thee
vnto
this
repentance
,
no
the
mercies
,
patience
,
and
long
suffering
of
GOD
can
moue
the●
?
neither
the
benefites
,
and
temporall
blessings
of
GOD
bestowed
vpon
thee
;
nor
the
prospect
and
defection
of
elements
and
creatures
,
neither
the
abhomination
and
wickednesse
of
mankynd
;
no
not
the
dayly
experience
of
violent
death
can
moue
thee
;
yet
let
the
feare
of
imminent
justice
and
day
of
the
LORD
,
that
glorious
Kingdome
of
Heaven
now
at
hand
moue
thee
to
repentance
,
and
amendement
of
life
,
I
pray
thee
consider
with
thy selfe
,
if
there
bee
any
creature
created
in
Heaven
or
in
earth
,
who
can
by
any
evident
argument
assure
thee
,
that
when
thou
sittest
downe
to
thy
table
,
that
thou
shall
ryse
before
CHRIST
come
in
the
clowdes
,
and
aske
account
of
thee
:
or
when
thou
goest
out
of
thy
doores
about
thy
worldly
respectes
,
to
turne
back
to
thine
house
,
but
that
thou
may
be
caught
into
the
clowdes
of
Heaven
,
before
the
justice
seate
of
GOD
,
either
when
thou
lyest
downe
in
thy
bed
with
thy
mortall
bodie
,
but
that
thou
shall
be
in
an
eye
blinck
in
thy
sleepe
exchanged
,
into
an
immortall
creature
,
and
presentlie
presented
before
the
glorious
throne
,
and
Majestie
of
CHRIST
IESUS
,
to
giue
account
of
thy
workes
.
Good
LORD
!
when
I
doe
meditate
with
my selfe
of
the
imminencie
of
this
Kingdome
of
Heaven
,
and
of
the
former
workes
of
mankynd
in
this
age
,
it
troubleth
my
thoughts
,
and
vnquyeteth
my
spirits
,
and
maketh
my
bones
to
quake
,
and
my
flesh
to
tremble
for
feare
,
to
thinke
how
that
the
LORD
of
Glory
shall
find
the
whole
world
in
such
damnable
and
pitiefull
estate
,
and
how
few
they
are
who
are
prepared
with
the
oyle
of
grace
in
the
lampes
of
their
heartes
:
shall
hee
not
rather
find
men
busied
about
the
vanities
of
the
world
,
and
lustes
of
the
flesh
,
then
attending
the
comming
of
the
LORD
IESUS
:
O
doolefull
and
miserable
experience
!
O
wicked
abhomination
and
sinfull
generation
of
mankynd
!
What
fearefull
justice
art
thou
prophecying
to
bee
imminent
.
Oh
how
doolefull
,
lamentable
,
and
sorrowfull
will
the
event
proue
to
many
,
who
are
sleeping
in
sencelesse
securitie
in
the
lap
of
worldly
vanities
:
awaken
O
secure
man
,
and
harden
not
thy
heart
,
nor
delay
not
the
tyme
of
thy
repentance
,
abuse
not
the
long
patience
and
suffering
of
GOD
,
accept
of
grace
in
this
verie
last
moment
of
grace
,
for
now
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
is
at
hand
,
where
the
gates
of
grace
and
mercie
shall
bee
closed
,
and
never
opened
nor
offered
againe
.
O
miserable
,
wretched
,
damned
,
and
forlorne
creature
art
thou
,
if
thou
repent
not
in
time
,
how
pittifull
shall
then
thy
estate
bee
,
when
thou
shall
bee
forced
with
perpetuall
shame
,
infamie
,
and
confusion
,
to
stand
naked
in
the
presence
of
all
creatures
,
and
before
the
justice
throne
of
GOD
,
where
thou
shalt
heare
that
horrible
sentence
,
of
the
KING
of
all
Kings
,
and
judge
of
all
the
whole
world
,
Depart
from
mee
yee
workers
of
iniquitie
,
into
everlasting
fire
prepared
for
the
Devill
and
his
angels
.
O
terrible
and
fearfull
sentence
once
pronunced
,
how
fearfull
and
vnexpressible
shall
thy
paine
bee
,
where
no
repentance
,
no
teares
,
no
treasures
,
no
friend
,
no
foe
,
no
griefe
,
no
sorrow
,
will
then
helpe
thy
miserable
,
damnable
,
&
desperate
soule
,
out
of
her
endlesse
quaill
,
and
never
consuming
torments
.
And
on
the
contrare
,
how
joyfull
shall
that
soule
bee
who
hath
repented
heere
in
this
life
,
when
they
shall
bee
promoted
in
the
Heavens
,
to
liue
as
Kings
in
that
everlasting
happinesse
and
joye
of
all
Saincts
.
The
LORD
of
his
mercie
make
vs
prepared
against
the
comming
of
the
LORD
IESUS
,
to
whom
with
the
Father
and
holy
Ghost
,
be
praise
and
glory
for
ever
.
AMEN
