The
Bloody
downfall
of
Adultery
,
Murder
,
and
Ambition
,
presented
in
a
black
seane
of
Gods
iust
Iudgements
in
reuenge
of
the
Inocent
blood
lately
shed
in
this
KINGDOME
.
LOoking
lately
into
the
customes
of
this
age
,
&
coniecturing
the
inward
affections
of
men
,
I
gather
that
the
world
is
the
house
of
confusion
,
and
the
inhabitants
thereof
set
vpon
mischiefe
,
for
the
seauen
Cappitall
sins
are
growne
to
such
a
custome
,
that
our
eies
want
no
alurements
to
bewitch
,
our
eares
no
perswaysions
to
seduce
,
nor
our
sences
no
subtlety
to
affect
:
Which
seazing
on
the
hearts
of
men
,
haue
brought
fourth
many
pernitious
children
,
to
the
hurt
of
Nature
,
some
like
centaures
,
begotten
of
clouds
:
as
Ambition
,
some
like
Serpents
nurrished
in
dunghils
,
as
Sensuallity
,
some
like
Vapors
,
raysed
vp
to
be
consumed
as
Flattery
,
and
such
like
,
generally
all
dangerous
and
full
of
trouble
:
therefore
is
it
(
in
the
sence
of
man
)
most
fitting
to
haue
the
painting
taken
off
from
these
foule
faces
,
the
couers
pulled
off
from
these
cups
of
Poyson
,
and
the
couert
of
this
bed
of
Serpents
ripped
vp
,
that
we
may
discerne
what
hath
long
time
bene
hidden
cunningly
.
The
first
that
presents
himselfe
vpon
our
stage
;
will
wee
call
Ambition
,
catching
at
nothing
but
Starres
,
climing
onely
for
Greatnesse
,
this
is
hee
,
that
cunningly
can
inuent
strattagems
to
his
owne
ouer
throw
,
giuing
Pens
occation
to
wright
Tragedies
,
if
hee
rise
from
obscurity
,
(
as
many
haue
done
)
hee
laboreth
to
be
skilfull
in
those
things
,
which
are
most
pleasing
to
the
greater
Sort
,
and
tollerable
among
the
commons
:
His
study
is
for
prayse
,
and
not
for
vertue
:
His
lookes
like
Mansolus
roumbe
,
faire
and
comly
without
,
but
within
,
nothing
but
rotten
bones
,
and
corrupt
practisses
,
his
aparrell
increaseth
with
his
Fortune
,
and
as
worldly
affaires
direct
him
,
so
suteth
hee
both
fashions
and
affections
,
in
his
studdy
hee
affecteth
singularity
,
and
is
proud
in
being
author
of
a
new
stratagem
:
if
hee
chance
to
come
into
the
eie
of
the
World
,
hee
then
creepes
into
the
fauour
of
some
great
Peersonage
,
in
feeding
whose
humors
(
to
relieue
his
wants
)
makes
intrusion
into
some
heritage
,
and
matcheth
not
according
to
his
birth
,
but
to
the
increase
of
his
fortune
,
and
by
that
meanes
,
by
hooke
or
crooke
,
hee
atayneth
to
some
place
in
the
Court
:
Then
begins
hee
with
guifts
to
winne
hearts
,
by
fayned
humillity
to
a
voyd
hatred
,
by
offices
of
friendship
,
to
bind
his
equalls
,
by
cunning
insinuations
to
worke
his
superiours
,
by
which
meanes
hee
is
held
to
be
worthely
a
Statesman
:
being
growne
to
this
steppe
higher
,
the
authority
likes
him
not
,
without
the
stile
,
wherein
if
any
crosse
him
,
looke
for
poyson
in
his
cuppe
,
or
conspiracy
in
his
walkes
,
yea
so
pestilent
is
his
nature
,
that
(
like
fire
raked
vp
in
embers
)
hee
neuer
sheweth
but
to
consume
,
both
himselfe
and
others
:
if
hee
perceaue
any
that
by
ripe
Iudgment
conceiteth
his
courses
,
with
him
hee
ioyneth
,
as
if
hee
sought
his
onely
protection
vnder
the
wing
of
his
Glory
,
but
the
very
truth
is
,
hee
hath
no
other
intent
but
this
,
to
clip
the
wings
of
his
renowne
for
feare
,
hee
flie
beyond
him
,
if
the
nature
of
the
Nobleman
whom
hee
enuieth
be
gentle
,
hee
bringeth
him
in
feare
,
either
of
his
seruants
in
his
household
,
or
his
familliars
that
loue
his
honour
,
or
else
some
mislike
bewixt
his
Prince
and
him
,
sworne
and
confirmed
by
flatteries
and
intelligences
,
till
the
noble
looseth
either
his
land
,
authoitie
,
or
place
,
and
hee
attaine
both
his
stile
and
promotion
:
yet
plaie
hee
neuer
so
cunningly
,
such
vncertaine
honours
beget
daily
dangers
,
and
makes
him
carelesse
of
his
soules
prosperitie
:
For
then
there
entreth
into
his
mind
a
delightfull
sinne
called
curiosity
,
by
which
to
make
him
more
able
in
other
mischiefes
,
hee
giues
intertainment
to
witches
and
charmers
,
and
consorts
him-selfe
with
nouell
mongers
,
and
strange
inuenters
of
banquets
,
to
set
lust
on
fire
,
and
that
can
deuise
confections
to
besot
youth
with
luxury
,
that
for
an
irefull
man
can
worke
strange
reuenges
,
for
a
fearefull
,
a
strong
tower
to
keepe
him
in
:
to
be
excellent
at
poysons
,
to
kill
lingringly
,
like
the
Italian
:
But
againe
to
our
purpose
,
to
the
Ambitius
man
there
is
commonly
belonging
a
rustick
troup
,
of
Flaterers
,
Bauds
,
A
dulterers
,
Soothers
,
and
such
like
,
that
hating
al
vertue
makes
sin
seeme
pleasing
,
which
workes
in
the
flexable
heart
such
a
sweet
defire
of
forbidden
pleasures
,
that
it
euen
surfets
and
growes
sickes
,
with
excesse
,
Lust
and
Adultery
I
meane
,
which
I
discribe
in
this
maner
,
it
is
the
most
insolent
of
all
things
,
it
troubles
the
mind
and
taketh
away
the
empire
of
liberty
,
it
confounds
memory
,
kills
prouidence
,
and
treads
downe
good
councel
.
offends
not
he
the
law
,
that
takes
possession
of
another
mans
free
hold
,
and
makes
a
common
of
his
neighboures
inclosure
,
Adulterers
I
say
haue
no
spirits
to
goodnes
,
nor
will
they
be
by
any
councell
moued
to
godlines
,
for
their
felicity
is
in
the
surfets
of
the
flesh
,
and
the
pleasures
thereof
bring
nothing
but
too
deare
repentance
,
the
Adulterer
spights
him
most
that
examines
his
proceedings
,
and
plots
his
ouerthrow
that
doth
but
touch
his
infirmities
,
Oh!
what
an
enemy
is
it
to
Vertue
,
the
onely
wrake
of
wealth
,
and
plaine
high
way
to
pouerty
.
The
Adulterer
is
so
blinded
in
heart
,
and
so
hardened
withall
,
that
hee
can
hardly
looke
vp
towards
Heauen
to
behold
Gods
iust
Iudgements
:
yea
so
iust
and
sure
they
are
,
that
in
all
ages
this
vile
sinne
hath
beene
seuerely
punished
,
as
by
the
example
of
Iudas
,
iustice
on
Thamat
,
Dauids
Adultery
with
Vrias
Wife
,
punished
in
his
Sonne
Absolon
,
thousands
of
men
died
in
the
fields
of
Moab
for
this
fault
,
threescore
thousand
of
the
children
of
Israell
were
put
to
the
sword
for
the
rauishing
onely
a
Leuits
Wife
,
of
all
sins
it
is
in
nature
the
most
odious
,
and
brings
with
it
the
greatest
shame
vnto
mankind
:
it
is
a
sinne
that
hath
made
the
Earthe
drunke
with
blood
,
to
the
confusion
of
many
Townes
and
Cities
,
Sodome
and
Gomorah
were
consumed
with
fire
for
Incest
and
Adultery
:
Troy
a
proud
City
made
a
plow-land
for
the
same
sinne
:
It
was
the
onely
adulteries
of
the
French
that
caused
a
massaker
of
fourescore
thousand
,
by
the
ringing
of
one
bell
:
Let
not
the
Strumpits
eye
,
saies
one
of
the
sages
of
Greece
,
shine
vpon
the
countenance
of
young
men
,
least
with
the
Basaliske
,
it
pearce
vnto
the
death
:
for
her
malice
is
as
lightning
,
and
more
ragine
then
the
she
Beare
,
vpon
her
attends
malitious
hatred
,
whose
felicity
is
onely
to
reioyce
at
the
harmes
of
others
,
giuing
more
affliction
to
them
that
are
most
troubled
with
affliction
,
where
if
any
offend
her
,
she
admitts
no
reconciliation
,
but
liues
as
a
partiall
Iudge
in
her
owne
cause
,
if
she
heares
the
aduancement
of
vertue
then
growes
she
pensiue
,
&
if
she
want
credit
amongst
the
mighty
then
falls
shee
working
with
the
meaner
sort
,
shee
smiles
not
vppon
any
man
but
to
be
tray
him
,
nor
giue
him
countenance
but
to
vndoe
him
,
nor
contriue
,
any
stratagems
without
Murder
,
nor
dwels
by
any
neighbour
but
to
hurt
him
,
and
if
shee
be
but
crossed
in
her
will
,
she
euer
frets
her selfe
away
in
anger
,
and
after
in
Hate
and
Malice
becomes
infamous
,
for
her
loue
is
a
minet
,
but
her
spight
euerlassing
,
her
hand
being
once
dipt
in
mischiefe
,
shee
neuer
walks
abroad
but
in
suspition
,
fearing
to
bee
accused
by
Vertue
,
and
still
liues
in
dread
of
her
good
Fortune
,
yet
by
nature
is
shee
such
,
that
shee
hath
courage
enough
to
aduenture
on
any
sinne
,
an
Ambitious
woman
shewes
her selfe
to
bee
a
troublesome
disturber
of
the
world
,
powerfull
to
make
smale
things
great
,
and
great
,
monstrous
,
enuy
by
nature
is
greeued
at
the
Prosperity
of
others
,
hee
enuyeth
the
Great
in
that
hee
cannot
Equall
them
,
hee
enuieth
the
weake
,
dreading
they
should
compare
themselues
with
him
:
hee
enuyeth
his
Equalls
because
they
should
not
become
his
Companions
:
in
Kingdomes
,
Common-Wealths
,
Princes
Courtes
and
Ambitious
mens
Houses
he
is
still
working
,
no
Man
hunteth
after
Honor
but
hee
affronts
him
,
onely
the
miserable
man
hee
enuies
not
,
because
(
beeing
kept
in
Prison
)
hee
feares
not
his
risings
,
yet
hath
hee
a
scorne
ouer
him
:
Machiuell
knowing
the
venome
of
this
vice
,
gaue
his
sonne
this
last
and
not
least
instruction
:
that
hee
should
not
bee
enuious
,
but
to
doe
(
saith
hee
)
such
deeds
that
others
may
enuy
thee
,
for
to
bee
enuied
is
the
token
of
good
desert
,
but
to
be
enuious
the
signe
of
a
foolish
nature
,
which
verefies
the
saying
of
Marcus
Tullius
the
Orator
,
that
the
most
florishing
fortune
is
most
enuied
at
:
But
now
to
bee
more
familiar
in
my
Discourse
,
where
Ambition
,
Adultery
,
Pride
,
Enuy
,
Malice
,
and
such
like
Capitall
Sinnes
haue
set
in
foote
,
there
cannot
chose
but
follow
Mnrder
and
confusion
,
and
where
the
foundation
is
layd
with
blood
,
there
can
bee
a
building
but
of
small
continuance
,
but
where
Honors
haue
a
true
beginning
,
a
ground
of
vertue
springing
vp
by
noble
deserts
,
continued
by
Wisedome
and
maintayned
with
Care
,
there
cannot
choose
but
follow
a
fruitfull
haruest
,
and
a
plentifull
Winter
:
contrariwise
to
obtaine
sodaine
Honors
begets
Pride
and
Vaine-glory
,
Pride
and
Vaine-glory
are
the
cherishers
of
Enuy
and
Mallice
,
Enuy
and
Mallice
the
Nurses
of
Bloodshed
and
Murder
,
in
which
whosoeuer
dippeth
but
the
tippe
of
his
singer
,
giues
to
his
Soule
a
scarlet
siaine
,
which
neuer
can
bee
cleared
vntill
the
dissolution
of
the
Body
,
and
then
well
are
they
that
can
wash
it
away
with
the
true
teares
of
repentance
.
Brittle
is
that
greatnes
that
fadeth
in
a
moment
,
and
vaine
the
ioy
that
is
vnwisely
lost
,
hee
that
hath
a
sodaine
rise
and
can
wisely
stand
,
is
a
most
happy
Worldling
,
but
he
that
forgets
himselfe
on
the
Pinacle
of
prosperity
is
besotted
with
arrogancy
:
therefore
let
him
that
hunts
for
honors
in
Princes
Courts
,
wander
in
an
euen
passage
,
for
dangerous
are
the
proceedings
and
busines
of
a
Statesman
,
take
this
for
an
example
:
suppose
that
a
yong
man
from
the
lowest
ebbe
of
worldly
chance
haue
the
aduancement
of
greatnes
laid
vppon
his
shoulders
,
will
it
not
for
a
time
seeme
a
heauy
burthen
,
and
a
great
trouble
to
his
new
transformed
fortunes
?
will
not
the
pride
of
his
heart
swell
to
a
full
Sea
;
euen
ready
to
burst
ouer
the
bankes
of
his
Honour-giuer
?
Then
rightly
may
the
Picture
of
Ingratitude
bee
imprinted
in
his
forefront
;
playing
the
Viper
to
his
high
fortunes
first
beginner
.
Beeing
thus
intituled
with
State
Offices
,
hath
he
not
many
soothers
in
sinne
,
personages
of
base
condition
attending
him
,
hemming
him
round
with
perswasions
of
selfe
conceit
,
which
for
a
need
will
venture
their
liues
to
gaine
him
the
commands
of
his
will
:
what
becomes
of
such
follies
,
but
a
sorrowfull
repentance
,
and
no
recouery
.
All
you
that
haue
your
hearts
pierced
with
sad
considerations
,
take
this
for
a
remembrance
of
greefe
,
that
is
:
That
when
a
Woman
of
noble
Parentage
,
placed
on
the
mountaine
of
smiling
chance
,
hauing
the
dignity
of
Greatnesse
shining
on
her
fore-head
,
should
humble
her selfe
to
base
conditions
,
giuing
her
whole
mind
to
malicious
hatred
,
secret
consents
of
iniquity
,
selfe-will
and
wicked
proceedings
,
neuer
pacifie
till
the
end
of
damned
performances
.
Oh
was
not
this
Woman
created
for
a
deep
sorrow
to
her
Aliance
,
a
great
greefe
vnto
her
Country
,
and
a
foule
staine
vnto
her
owne
reputation
?
Is
it
not
also
a
lamentable
example
,
for
a
Gentleman
of
good
birth
and
calling
,
placed
in
dignity
,
in
high
office
and
charge
for
his
Country
,
to
giue
way
by
consent
to
a
bloody
stratagem
,
and
for
feare
of
the
displeasures
of
Greatnes
intangles
himselfe
in
the
snares
of
reproch
?
will
not
this
also
be
a
continuall
remembrance
to
his
posterity
,
and
a
barre
of
disgrace
branding
the
coat
Armes
of
his
house
,
to
haue
the
common
course
of
iustice
passe
vppon
him
in
the
eye
of
the
multitude
.
Is
it
not
also
great
pitty
that
for
want
of
grace
some
of
a
seruile
(
yet
an
obseruing
condition
)
should
from
the
golden
meane
of
low
estate
wait
at
the
elbow
of
Greatnes
,
and
bring
fuell
to
their
fire
of
iniquity
,
wherein
at
the
length
they
themselues
are
likewise
consumed
.
Oh
,
wherefore
should
simplicity
thus
blind
vp
their
eyes
of
vunderstanding
,
to
bee
thus
the
instruments
of
such
dangerous
drifts
,
that
aymes
at
nothing
but
grudge
&
mallice
?
if
with
Solons
saying
,
they
had
sealed
vp
their
hearts
,
Remember
the
end
,
this
had
neuer
beene
:
then
how
are
they
led
away
with
amisse
,
that
hauing
the
guifts
of
art
and
experience
,
the
secrets
of
the
simples
of
Phisick
,
ordained
by
God
for
mans
good
vse
,
should
by
the
Diuell
and
them
be
conuerted
thus
to
malignant
purposes
,
if
the
feare
of
God
had
shined
in
their
hearts
,
it
would
haue
been
a
light
to
haue
led
them
from
all
those
darke
practises
,
which
hath
now
spotted
the
foreheads
of
their
reputations
with
the
marks
of
black
infamy
,
shame
cannot
choose
but
be
the
reward
of
such
enterprisers
,
that
for
the
fauors
of
Greatnes
,
will
dip
their
hands
in
the
blood
of
Innocents
,
and
enen
as
it
were
worke
against
nature
:
Oh
more
then
sauage
minded
Creatures
,
in
the
very
deepenesse
of
your
blacke
and
bloody
immaginations
,
(
imboldened
by
whomsoeuer
)
this
might
haue
been
your
Memento
,
in
which
I
conclude
,
that
strange
and
wonderfull
are
Gods
indgements
,
that
in
these
fore-passed
stratagems
haue
shined
in
great
glory
,
say
you
then
,
that
blood
innocently
shed
,
is
layd
vp
in
Heauens
Treasury
,
not
one
droppe
of
it
can
bee
lost
,
but
lent
out
to
Vsury
:
water
poured
forth
,
sinkes
downe
quietly
into
the
earth
,
but
blood
spilt
on
the
ground
,
sprinkles
vp
to
the
Firmament
,
Murder
is
wide
mouthed
,
and
will
not
let
GOD
rest
till
hee
grant
reuenge
,
not
onely
the
blood
of
the
slaughtered
,
but
the
soule
of
the
Innocent
assending
to
his
throne
,
crying
out
and
exclaiming
for
Iustice
,
which
(
the
Lord
bee
praysed
)
hath
beene
,
and
will
bee
carefully
followed
by
the
learned
and
worthy
Magistrates
of
this
Kingdome
,
whom
the
Lord
God
prosper
and
protect
in
all
their
proceedings
,
to
which
let
all
true
hearts
say
.
Amen
