A
BRIEFE
TREATISE
,
CONTAINING
matter
of
Perswasion
and
Expostulation
concerning
CATECHISME
:
With
certaine
Positions
of
like
consideration
.
THat
the
first
sinne
,
and
vnlawfull
desire
of
passing
diuine
knowledge
,
procured
by
the
Deuill
,
hath
brought
into
our
nature
(
through
Gods
just
judgement
in
punishing
by
the
contrarie
)
not
Ignorance
alone
,
but
the
bondage
[
a

.
of
ignorance
,
if
we
were
ignorant
,
the
wilfull
ignorance
of
manie
,
in
the
things
of
God
especially
,
most
lowdly
proclaymeth
it
.
And
in
this
are
three
degrees
;
first
,
an
indisposition
,
or
no
inclination
of
our selues
to
seeke
the
truth
:
Secondly
,
a
declination
,
to
winde
away
from
truth
,
when
the
same
is
offered
:
and
thirdly
,
an
opposition
and
ciuile
warre
against
the
truth
.
The
sinne
and
shame
hereof
being
so
much
the
greater
,
as
that
wee
all
must
confesse
,
that
the
Vow
of
Baptisme
,
to
renounce
the
Deuill
,
and
his
Kingdome
of
ignorance
,
is
to
the
contrarie
.
For
we
here
speake
not
of
professed
Infidels
,
but
of
Christians
,
so
called
;
and
yet
refusing
instruction
for
Christian
knowledge
.
Against
whome
(
as
a
weake
and
vnworthie
Minister
in
this
Church
,
yet
willing
,
by
Gods
grace
,
to
instruct
mine
owne
,
and
here
as
speaking
to
mine
owne
)
I
thus
reason
first
in
the
words
of
Christ
;
Which
of
you
can
rebuke
me
of
sinne
?
And
he
here
meaneth
it
(
as
I
also
doe
,
and
must
of
necessitie
)
of
falsehood
,
which
is
the
sinne
of
Doctrine
.
But
if
I
teach
you
the
truth
,
why
doe
yee
not
beleeue
[
b

b

.
it
,
or
at
least
embrace
the
knowledge
of
it
?
But
as
the
Iewes
,
oppressed
with
the
light
and
euidence
of
truth
,
and
so
vrged
indeede
to
yeeld
their
subjection
to
Christ
;
and
the
Deuill
on
the
contrarie
,
to
hold
his
owne
,
pulling
them
backe
,
and
putting
in
their
mindes
and
mouthes
to
call
for
his
authoritie
,
asked
him
,
saying
,
By
what
authoritie
doest
thou
these
things
,
and
who
gaue
thee
this
authoritie
[
c
](A08773-e10410-b)
c
Math.
21.23
.
?
As
seeming
,
if
this
might
appeare
,
they
would
then
giue
place
(
for
truth
indeed
,
taught
by
authoritie
,
hath
great
power
to
perswade
,
if
grace
be
not
vtterly
banished
out
of
the
heart
)
so
the
people
in
this
striuing
and
strugling
against
the
obedience
of
publike
CATECHISME
(
the
truth
therein
taught
,
hauing
vanquished
their
thoughts
)
seeke
here
to
breake
loose
,
speaking
thus
in
effect
,
and
almost
in
verie
words
,
against
their
Teachers
,
What
authoritie
haue
they
to
compell
vs
to
this
?
And
why
should
they
bring
vs
vnder
their
girdle
?
To
whome
I
answere
in
manner
almost
as
Christ
there
of
Iohn
his
Baptisme
,
for
defence
of
himselfe
.
[
d
](A08773-e10470-b)
d
Can.
59.
)
for
the
good
of
their
soules
,
is
it
not
from
Heauen
?
Is
it
not
from
Christ
,
Who
hath
all
power
giuen
him
in
Heauen
and
in
Earth
[

,
saying
vnto
Peter
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
,
and
in
them
to
the
whole
Church
,
and
namely
the
Gouernours
thereof
,
To
thee
will
I
giue
the
keyes
of
the
kingdome
of
Heauen
,
whatsoeuer
thou
shalt
bind
on
Earth
,
shall
be
bound
in
Heauen
;
and
whatsoeuer
thou
shalt
loose
on
Earth
,
shall
be
loosed
in
Heauen
[

?
And
if
this
preuaile
not
with
them
,
I
leaue
them
to
that
number
,
which
say
in
the
Psalme
,
Let
vs
breake
their
bonds
asunder
,
and
cast
away
their
cords
from
vs
.
But
,
alas
,
they
will
still
hold
of
the
profession
of
Christ
.
But
I
descend
to
another
reason
of
greater
importance
,
Word
of
God
;
and
,
the
beginning
of
Christ
,
as
the
Apostle
calleth
it
.
Of
whom
(
sayth
he
,
speaking
of
Christ
)
wee
haue
many
things
to
say
,
which
are
hard
to
be
vttered
,
because
(
as
hee
addeth
)
ye
are
dull
of
hearing
.
Not
hereby
meaning
,
that
they
were
depriued
of
the
naturall
sence
of
hearing
,
but
for
that
when
they
heard
,
through
want
of
first
learning
,
or
by
forgetting
and
loosing
this
verie
CATECHISME
,
of
which
wee
speake
,
that
hurt
and
inconuenience
followed
,
touching
which
hee
hath
these
words
:
For
whereas
,
concerning
the
time
,
yee
ought
to
be
Teachers
,
yet
haue
yee
need
againe
that
we
teach
you
what
are
the
first
Principles
of
the
Word
of
God
;
and
are
become
such
as
haue
need
of
milke
(
that
is
,
againe
to
be
taught
CATECHISME
)
and
not
strong
meat
:
The
second
point
of
necessitie
is
of
danger
.
Wherein
for
breuitie
sake
,
and
to
omit
many
,
and
manifold
most
mightie
testimonies
of
holy
Scripture
,
I
wil
only
remember
them
of
the
wordes
of
that
holy
and
learned
Father
,
in
the
Preface
of
his
Explication
of
some
parts
of
the
Articles
of
our
Faith
,
and
pronounced
to
good
purpose
in
our
publike
diuine
Seruice
,
by
authoritie
of
our
Church
.
Whosoeuer
,
saith
he
,
will
be
saued
,
before
all
things
it
is
necessarie
that
he
hold
the
Catholike
Faith
.
Which
Faith
,
except
euery
one
keepe
holy
and
vndefiled
,
without
doubt
hee
shall
perish
euerlastingly
:
&
to
this
will
I
yet
adde
those
words
of
Christ
,
This
is
life
euerlasting
that
they
know
thee
to
bee
the
onely
very
God
,
and
whom
thou
hast
sent
,
Iesus
Christ
,
Ioh.

If
then
this
exercise
of
publike
Catechisme
(
supposing
other
meanes
may
likewise
bee
profitable
)
bee
specially
auaileable
to
this
end
,
euen
to
bring
vs
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Faith
of
Christ
,
without
the
which
we
cannot
be
saued
,
is
it
not
aboue
all
things
to
be
embraced
?
But
here
the
Deuill
(
whose
speciall
worke
it
is
to
oppose
this
good
thing
,
for
which
we
speake
)
layeth
stones
in
the
way
:
at
which
,
left
any
stumble
,
wee
will
likewise
endeuour
to
take
them
away
;
and
these
are
obiections
in
generall
:
some
arising
from
other
respects
;
and
some
from
the
teaching
of
the
Minister
.
If
the
former
is
the
allegation
,
or
exception
taken
for
defence
and
excuse
of
such
,
as
are
of
age
,
or
elder
yeeres
,
namely
children
,
and
seruants
Communicants
(
though
generally
,
and
without
distinction
by
authority
of
the
Church
,
put
vnder
obedience
of
publike
Catechisme
)
whom
yet
as
little
children
to
catechise
,
&
instruct
by
Question
and
Answere
,
say
they
,
is
not
comely
:
but
,
I
answere
,
it
is
rather
their
speciall
comelinesse
,
to
know
,
and
make
knowne
their
Christian
knowledge
,
and
indeede
,
if
wee
consider
,
it
standeth
them
more
vpon
,
and
vpon
the
credit
of
their
Christian
calling
,
to
know
,
and
make
knowne
(
as
before
I
said
)
being
lawfully
required
,
their
Christian
knowledge
:
for
,
as
in
the
things
of
this
life
it
is
a
greater
rebuke
for
one
of
age
to
be
ignorant
,
then
for
a
child
wanting
wit
,
time
,
experience
,
and
teaching
therein
:
so
for
due
knowledge
of
Christian
Religion
,
their
very
time
chargeth
the
elder
sort
with
this
speciall
duety
to
abound
in
knowledge
,
and
alwayes
to
be
readier
,
and
more
prepared
,
then
litle
children
,
to
yeeld
account
of
their
faith
;
yea
,
and
as
neede
requireth
,
to
instruct
others
,
especially
of
yonger
yeeres
;
and
it
much
becommeth
them
:
so
the
Apostle
to
the
Hebrewes
;
Of
whom
(
speaking
of
Christ
,
and
sharpely
rebuking
them
for
neglect
,
and
forgetfulnesse
of
Catechisme
before
taught
)
we
haue
(
saith
he
)
many
things
to
speake
,
which
are
hard
to
bee
vttered
,
because
yee
are
dull
of
hearing
.
For
whereas
concerning
the
time
yee
ought
to
be
teachers
,
yet
haue
yee
neede
againe
that
we
teach
you
what
are
the
first
principles
of
the
Word
of
God
[
a
](A08773-e10920-b)
a
Heb.
5.12
.
And
in
all
this
,
and
that
which
followeth
concerning
this
matter
,
he
speaketh
,
no
doubt
,
to
persons
of
elder
yeeres
,
and
writeth
not
his
Epistle
so
specially
to
little
children
.
Againe
,
who
will
not
grant
,
that
children
and
seruants
Communicants
aboue
the
age
of
sixteene
yeeres
(
as
all
other
indeed
besides
,
of
what
greater
age
,
or
condition
soeuer
they
be
,
if
ignorant
,
though
not
strictly
so
bound
,
perhaps
,
by
this
order
of
our
Church
to
be
taught
by
Catechisme
)
haue
more
need
then
little
children
,
to
bee
taught
and
instructed
in
the
grounds
of
faith
,
in
respect
of
the
special
and
instant
duty
required
of
them
for
receiuing
the
holy
Communion
,
which
of
right
requireth
a
due
examination
by
each
one
of
himselfe
[
b
](A08773-e10950-b)
b
1.
Cor.

.
;
the
worthie
,
or
vnworthie
receiuing
of
this
holy
Sacrament
,
very
much
importing
euery
one
which
commeth
thereto
[
c
](A08773-e10970-b)
c
1.
Cor.
11.27
.
;
and
this
examination
requiring
knowledge
sufficient
for
this
occasion
,
and
instruction
for
knowledge
in
the
ignorant
.
Lastly
,
the
former
persons
,
I
meane
children
and
seruants
aboue
the
age
of
sixteene
yeeres
,
ought
therefore
with
their
yeeres
to
abound
,
and
excell
in
greater
knowledge
,
as
beeing
neere
vnto
alteration
of
their
state
,
and
many
by
GODS
prouidence
after
no
long
time
to
be
in
case
to
haue
children
and
seruants
of
their
owne
;
whom
not
to
be
able
to
instruct
,
and
bring
vp
in
Christian
knowledge
:
What
a
sinne
?
What
a
shame
vnto
themselues
?
What
a
wrong
to
their
children
?
and
how
shall
they
be
able
themselues
being
vntaught
?
and
euen
the
will
likewise
to
teach
them
is
much
the
lesse
,
and
lieth
almost
dead
,
when
themselues
hauing
all
their
time
before
bin
vtterly
neglected
,
or
neglecting
themselues
,
were
neuer
made
acquainted
with
this
dutie
of
being
Christianly
catechised
,
and
of
yeelding
submission
vnto
this
Exercise
.
And
I
speake
the
more
hereof
in
regard
of
mine
owne
practise
,
faulted
by
some
,
in
distinguishing
betweene
children
and
seruants
,
vnder
and
aboue
the
age
required
for
receiuing
the
holy
Communion
,
and
beginning
first
with
them
,
who
haue
most
neede
,
according
to
these
reasons
euen
now
deliuered
.
A
second
obiection
respecteth
Continuance
.
What
?
say
they
,
euery
Sunday
?
Yea
verily
;
and
if
possible
,
euery
day
:
the
excellencie
and
exigencie
of
knowledge
in
this
kinde
especially
(
with
the
height
,
length
,
and
depth
considered
;
and
ioyning
herewithall
the
dulnesse
and
vntowardnesse
of
our
nature
in
much
time
to
learne
little
,
chiefely
in
this
)
being
greater
without
comparison
then
of
any
other
.
This
building
will
not
bee
reared
without
much
time
and
labour
.
This
garment
of
knowledge
will
bee
long
in
spinning
,
long
ere
put
on
to
keepe
vs
warme
,
if
once
a
yeere
onely
a
thread
or
two
bee
drawne
out
by
example
of
some
,
not
wholly
indiligent
in
this
dutie
,
yet
adiourning
the
same
vnto
Lent-time
onely
:
but
alas
for
poore
people
,
which
know
not
GOD
,
if
this
teaching
be
made
Lenten-stuffe
onely
;
this
feeding
,
fish
onely
,
and
not
flesh
also
for
all
the
yeere
:
for
in
deede
I
see
nothing
but
assiduitie
,
which
can
attaine
to
a
plentifull
,
most
comfortable
▪
nay
,
a
sufficient
measure
of
vnderstanding
,
for
onelie
maintaining
the
life
of
the
soule
,
(
at
least
touching
manie
)
in
the
things
of
God
.
Yea
,
and
the
Church
also
in
her
wisdome
,
and
care
especially
for
her
younger
children
,
and
weake
in
knowledge
,
straightly
commandeth

this
thing
to
bee
done
,
and
vsed
euerie
Sabbath
,
if
not
ofter
,
and
yet
who
shall
tell
her
that
shee
erres
in
this
?
A
third
obiection
concerneth
Contempt
.
I
would
come
,
sayth
one
,
say
many
;
and
wee
are
willing
to
learne
,
but
loath
to
bee
laughed
at
.
I
cannot
deny
but
I
haue
seene
such
a
thing
,
not
once
but
often
,
and
haue
beene
grieued
aboue
measure
:
and
God
grant
mine
eyes
neuer
againe
to
see
it
.
What
?
open
scurrility
in
the
time

place
of
publike
teaching

Weigh
the
circumstances
,
the
things
taught

holy
;
the
Ministery
,
holy
;
the
place
holy
;
the
assemblie
of
God
,
holy
;
yea
,
Gods
own
presence
there
,
most
holy
:
and
then
,
and
there
to
laugh
,
or
leere
,
What
a
sinne
is
this
?
alas
,
yea
,
and
thrice
alas
for
our
Churches
and
Congregations
,
if
these
laughing
deuils
bee
not
cast
out
,
I
meane
by
them
who
haue
power
and
authority
(
God
grant
care
also
)
to
cast
them
out
,
as
they
ought
to
doe
:
for
so
did
Abraham
,
and
Sara
,
yea
God
himselfe
against
Ismael
mocking
Isaack
[
e

.
.
but
indeed
I
see
not
in
this
great
remisnesse
of
Church-discipline
,
and
seldome
censuring
such
kind
of
faults
:
what
else
can
ease
this
persecution
(
for
so
Paul
calleth
it
[
f
](A08773-e11130-b)
f
Gal.
4.29
)
but
true
Christian
humilitie
,
lenitie
and
patience
.
And
let
patience
(
as

)
haue
her
perfect
worke

Let
laughers
laugh

,
and
fooles
haue
this
game
;
at
whom
Wisdome
shaking

,
sayth
,
O

how
long
will
yee
loue
foolishnesse

and
the
scornefull

in

hate

children
of
wisedome
delight
in
knowledge
,
and
stil
learne
knowledge
for
all
this
.
It
is
a
simple
and
a
sottish
thing
for
any
man
(
as
wee
say
)
to
bee
laughed
out
of
his
coate
,
that
is
,
as
I
take
it
,
to
lay
aside
his
coate
,
yea
all
to
his
shirt
,
and
so
goe
naked
for
laughing
sake
onely
,
and
to
auoide
such
laughing
at
:
and
it
is
a
far
more
simple
,
yea
a
sinnefull
thing
,
and
a
shame
to
bee
ashamed
of
,
to
bee
a
Christian
,
whose
forehead
should
be
full
of
courage
[

,
and
yet
so
tender
,
so
timerous
,
and
yeelding
vnto
this
,
to
bee
laughed
(
as
I
may
so
speake
)
out
of
his
profession
,
and
thereby
shun
knowledge
,
the
very
clothing
of
the
soule
,
and
so
bee
left
naked
,
and
vtterly
bare
vnto
the
skinne
,
and
his
filthinesse
to
lye
open
in
the
sight
of
God
.
But
once
again
to
returne
to
the
mockers
.
They
say
,
wee
laugh
not
at
it
.
What
then
?
in
it
,
I
am
sure
:
yea
,
but
by
occasion
,
say
they
.
To
laugh
at
it
were
heathenish
,
and
a
certaine
signe
of
infidelity
,
and
little
lesse
in
a
christian
,
hauing
knowledge
,
then
the
sin
against
the
holy
Ghost
[
k
](A08773-e11270-b)
k
Heb.
6.6
.
.
To
laugh
in
it
by
any
whatsoeuer
occasion
,
and
much
more
at
euery
the
least
occasion
,
is
immodesty
,
irreuerence
,
and
vnchristian
leuity
:
sinnefull
in
it selfe
,
shamefull
to
the
parties
,
scandalous
in
effect
,
discouraging
the
weake
;
grieuous
to
the
godlie
present
,
more
soberly
gouerned
;
and
no
better
then
a
defiling
of
the
Temple
of
God
,
which
is
holie
,
And
if
any
man
(
saith
Paul
in
matter
not
much
greater
then
this
)
defile
the
Temple
of
God
,
him
will
God
destroy

.
But
this
,
I
hope
,
is
the
fault
of
few
Congregations
.
One
cursed
ground
haue
I
knowne
to
bring
out
these
briers
:
and
God
in
his
good
time
will
change
them
,
or
root
them
out
;
and
cast
his
feare
vpon
others
;
many
of
whom
by
his
blessing
beginne
to
bee
better
,
and
in
silence
and
reuerence
to
learne
knowledge
,
and
the
great
mercy
of
our
God
,
and
the
light
of
his
countenance
be
stil
vpon
them
,
to
encrease
their
number
,
and
blesse
their
knowledge
vnto
perfect
comfort
.
The
fourth
Obiection
toucheth
Exam●●a●●
.
How
many
,
say
they
,
do
so
?
I
know
not
how
manie
.
I
wish
there
were
manie
:
but
they
meane
few
:
the
answere
vnto
this
belongeth
to
the
gouernors
of
the
Church
:
for
if
wee
in
doing
this
do
amisse
,
let
vs
be
censured
:
and
if
others
not
doing
this
,
do
not
amisse
let
them
continue
without
rebuke
:
but
if
my
neighbours
coate
bee
too
short
to
reach
my
conscience
,
and
keepe
it
warme
,
not
standing
vpon
bare
example
,
by
Gods
grace
and
assistance
,
I
wil
make
mine
larger
,
nor
pinch
my
foote
with
his
narrow
shooe
.
A
fifth
obiection
,
why
they
should
not
answer
,
is
this
,
they
know
it
well
enough
,
and
then
what
neede
of
answere
?
but
how
knoweth
the
Pastor
the
state
of
his
flocke
,
as
he
ought
to
doe
[
a
](A08773-e11360-b)
a
Acts
20.28
.
,
if
hee
know
not
their
knowledge
,
and
that
by
their
answer
?
but
they
know
,
but
cannot
vtter
.
What
,
not
at
all
?
in
no
sort
able
to
speake
so
,
that
another
may
vnderstand
that
they
vnderstand
?
it
is
a
rule
in
the
Law
,
and
good
in
reason
;
that
Not
to
bee
,
and
not
to
appeare
,
or
made
knowne
to
be
,
is
all
one
.
There
is
weaknesse
,
I
confesse
,
in
manie
touching
this
point
,
in
their
owne
words
to
deliuer
that
,
which
otherwise
they
conceiue
:
and
let
these
then
especially
thanke
their
mother
,
who
respecting
their
infirmity
teacheth
than
to
speak
,
and
giueth
very
words
(
and
the
same
very
godly
,
wise
,
learned
,
and
most
materiall
)
into
their
mouthes
,
by
answeres
appointed
in
publike
Catechisme
.
And
of
this
no
more
,
the
thing
is
so
plaine
:
and
of
that
nothing
,
as
being
nothing
,
which
yet
I
haue
heard
,
that
they
must
doe
their
fathers
,
their
masters
businesse
;
their
earthly
fathers
and
masters
they
meane
,
though
this
busines
to
know
,
and
doe
their
fathers
,
their
masters
will
which
is
in
heauen
,
lie
still
as
accounted
no
businesse
at
all
.
But
miserable
seruant
is
he
,
who
knoweth
no
Master
,
but
on
earth
;
and
most
vnhappie
childe
,
whose
father
is
not
our
Father
in
Heauen
.
Whose
will
and
pleasure
is
first
to
be
knowne
,
and
his
seruice
preferred
before
all
other
.
The
second
sort
of
obiections
is
against
the
kinde
,
or
manner
of
Catechising
by
the
Minister
,
his
teaching
,
say
they
,
is
darke
.
Be
it
so
:
for
so
is
all
teaching
of
other
things
at
first
,
and
this
especially
,
more
different
from
our
nature
,
more
hindered
by
Satan
,
by
many
esteemed
much
lesse
necessarie
,
then
worldly
knowledge
,
and
therefore
is
giuen
the
lesse
attention
for
vnderstanding
;
and
sooner
a
little
learned
,
to
helpe
on
further
,
is
forgotten
;
and
euery
Teachers
gift
is
not
alike
,
and
yet
euerie
lawfull
Teacher
must
be
heard
:
and
many
of
better
and
quicker
capacitie
finde
that
verie
easie
,
which
others
not
hauing
this
gift
of
GOD
(
who
is
bound
to
none
[
z
](A08773-e11410-b)
z
Matth.
20.15
.
)
doe
thinke
and
report
to
bee
hard
and
darke
.
Againe
,
they
obiect
against
the
time
,
saying
,
Hee
is
too
long
:
but
halfe
an
hower
,
or
some
what
more
,
yea
,
sometimes
an
hower
is
not
to
long
.
If
any
exceede
,
or
fault
much
herein
through
indiscretion
,
let
them
mend
their
fault
,
or
beare
the
blame
they
haue
deserued
.
But
he
teacheth
with
austeritie
;
I
like
it
not
:
but
I
allow
that
he
teach
as
with
authoritie
[
a

.
;
and
yet
tenderly
,
as
neede
requireth
,
the
poorest
in
the
place
,
no
lesse
then
were
hee
the
Kings
sonne
.
But
some
worst
of
all
,
and
by
the
verie
suggestion
of
the
deuill
himself
(
in
this
most
occupied
,
effectually
of
none
,
if
possible
,
as
neither
professedly
,
or
vocally
of
any
,
especially
in
the
face
of
the
Congregation
,
to
be
forsaken
)
when
all
is
well
done
in
matter
and
manner
without
exception
,
accuse
the
minde
,
and
obiect
ill
meaning
:
and
it
is
,
say
they
,
to
shew
learning
,
and
it
is
to
bee
singular
,
and
it
is
to
keepe
vnder
,
and
I
know
not
what
.
It
was
the
secret
obiection
against
Christ
himselfe
;
whose
workes
and
actions
beeing
perfectly
good
in
the
eyes
of
all
men
,
and
by
the
iudgement
of
that
sense
,
which
could
not
erre
,
no
man
could
possibly
obiect
against
them
.
Neither
were
his
words
and
doctrine
lesse
holy
and
good
,
but
heere
notwithstanding
,
because
the
tongue
may
deceiue
,
they
ranne
to
his
conscience
,
accusing
his
inward
,
corrupt
,
and
guilefull
meaning
;
which
in
my
iudgement
causeth
the
holy
Ghost
in
the
Prophet
,
and
other
places
expresly
to
adde
,
Neither
was
there
guile
found
in
his
mouth
[
b
](A08773-e11490-b)
b
Isa.
53.9
.
:
That
is
,
what
he
alwaies
spake
most
holily
and
well
vnto
the
eares
of
all
men
,
hee
ment
it
sincerely
without
any
the
least
staine
,
or
mixture
of
euill
thought
or
hypocrisie
.
And
charitie
,
which
is
not
suspicious

when
matter
and
forme
cannot
bee
faulted
,
feareth
to
accuse
the
inward
thoughts
,
and
leaueth
that
iudgement
,
as
of
right
belonging
vnto
GOD
alone
.
According
vnto
which
I
also
conclude
with
the
Apostles
admonition
;
Iudge
nothing
before
the
time
,
vntill
the
Lord
come
,
who
will
lighten
things
that
are
hid
in
darkenesse
,
and
make
the
counsels
of
the
hearts
manifest
:
And
then
shall
euerie
man
(
both
Minister
and
people
,
according
as
their
thoughts
,
wordes
,
and
workes
are

celebrating
this
peace
,
so
speaketh
of
it
:
Behold
how
good
and
pleasant
a
thing
it
is
brethren
to
dwell
together
in
vnitie
.
It
is
like
the
precious
ointment
vpon
the
head
,
that
ran
downe
vnto
the
heard
,
euen
vnto
Aarons
beard
,
and
went
downe
to
the
skirts
of
his
clothing
[

.
:
like
as
the
dew
of
Hermon
which
fell
vpon
the
Hill
of
Sion
.
For
there
,
Where
?
euen
where
is
this
vnitie
,
there
the
Lord
promiseth
his
blessing
,
and
life
for
euermore
.
But
peace
or
vnitie
betweene
men
,
and
not
in
GOD
,
is
nothing
but
a
conspiracie
against
GOD
.
This
peace
(
if
it
continue
)
hath
no
blessing
but
a
curse
;
no
promise
or
assurance
of
life
,
but
death
,
and
that
for
euermore
.
Thus
then
,
the
people
of
a
parish
liueth
in
the
ignorance
of
GOD
.
And
the
Minister
for
peace
sake
leaueth
them
so
,
and
they
are
both
agreed
.
What
peace
is
this
?
surely
not
of
GOD
;
but
of
the
enemy
of
men
,
yea
of
GOD
,
Who
willeth
all
men
to
bee
saued
,
and
come
vnto
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
?

Here
then
for
Minister
and
people
,
if
they
will
bee
blessed
,
this
peace
must
be
broken
.

is
a

,
desireth

endeuoreth
to
bring
the

to
the
knowledge
of

.
The
people
by
perswasion
of
the

,
the

,
and
the

,
will
not
be
brought
,
no
,
not
to
heare
the
word
of
saluation
.
Here
one
,
against
many
,
how
shall
he
preuaile
?
I
answere
(
presuming
yet
of
outward
hearing
,
though
by
compulsion
,
of
which
afterwards
wee
speake
)
two
wayes
:
by
Offer
,
and
Operation
.
By
offer
of
the
meanes
:
If
thou
warne
the
wicked
(
saith
GOD
by
the
Prophet
)
and
hee
turne
not
from
his
wickednesse
,
nor
from
his
wicked
way
,
hee
shall
die
in
his
iniquitie
,
but
thou
hast
deliuered
thy
soule
.
By
Operation
,
of
the
word
,
and
worke
of
his
Ministerie
:
which
is
neuer
frustrate
.
And
of
this
reioyceth
the
Apostle
:
Now
thankes
bee
vnto
God
(
saith
hee
)
which
alwaies
maketh
vs
to
triumph
in
Christ
,
and
maketh
manifest
the
sauour
of
his
knowledge
by
vs
in
euerie
place
.
For
wee
are
vnto
God
the
sweete
sauour
of
Christ
in
them
that
are
saued
,
and
in
them
that
perish
.
To
the
one
wee
are
the
sauour
of
death
vnto
death
,
and
vnto
the
other
the
sauour
of
life
vnto
life

If
then
in
this
battaile
he
saue
himselfe
,
and
of
the
people
he
saue
some
,
appointed
to
life
,
and
destroy
other
,
appointed
to
perish
,
himselfe
resting
in
the
fauour
of
GOD
[

,
doth
he
not
preuaile
?
no
doubt
hee
doth
,
and
that
greatly
.
But
now
further
to
behold
this
fight
,
and
namely
in
the
meanes
of
saluation
offered
by
the
word
,
and
worke
of
the
Ministerie
which
is
performed
towards
all

publikly

towards

priuately

performance
,
it

by

,

,
administration
of

and

.
The
people
flie
from
this
meanes
:
the
Minister
charged
by
GOD
,
pursueth
them
at
home
with
all
instance
:
I
charge
thee
(
saith
Paul
to
Timothie
)
before
God
,
and
before
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
which
shall
iudge
the
quick
and
dead
at
his
appearing
,
and
in

preach

And
needing
helpe

hee
runneth
to

And
in

as
also
in

setting
downe
of

Discourse
,
I
purposely
adde
this
limitation
,
if

:
for
I
freely
confesse
that
all
must
bee
assayed
on
the

behalfe
by
paines
by
patience
,
by
a
discreet
,
and
most
meeke
manner
of

and
humilitie
in

and

such
humilitie

,
may

:

that
no

[

and
yet
also
I
say
againe
,
euen
such
humilitie
,
as
stoopeth
to
the
lowest
for
the
good
of
others
:
such
as
not
onely
Paul
the
Apostle
submitted
himselfe
vnto
,
where
hee
sayeth
,
I
am
made
all
things
to

,
that
I
might
by

saue

:
but
also
because
it
is
exemplified
vnto
vs
by
a
great
King
,
may
the
better
bee
obeyed
and
yeelded
vnto
of
all
that
are
lesser
then
Kings
:
and
it
is
King
Dauid
,
whome
of
I
speake
;
who
being
by
his
proud
,
prophane
,
and
most
vngodly
wife
derided
for
his
zealous
act
of
Religion
before
the
Arke
of
God
,
thus
mildly
answered
;
It
was
before
the
Lord
,
which
chose
me
rather
then
thy
Father
,
and
all
his
house
,
and
commanded
mee
to
bee
Ruler
ouer
the
people
of
the
Lord
,
euen
ouer

;
and
therefore
will
I
play
before
the
Lord
:
and
will

bee
more
vile

the
more
,

more
willingly
,
for
this
part
of

bee
embraced
by

godly
Minister

because
all
other
meanes
fayling
for
outward
comfort

this
alone
in

may
lay
a

returne
to
the
reasons

compulsiue
obedience
to
the
meanes
of
saluation

The
first
whereof
is
properly
the
respect
of
his
good
,
against
whom
proceedeth
this
information
,
tending
wholly
to
this
end
,
euen
his
godly
reformation

but
will
some
say
,
how
can
that
well
bee
,
when
he
hath

I
answere
,
that
bee
it
so
,
that
hee
haue
not

yet
compelled
to
the
meanes
,
I
say
hee
may
haue
,
yea
,
and
I
also
maintaine
not
a
possibilitie
onely
,
but
a
probability
.
First
,
from

largenesse
and
generalitie
of

(

meane

extended
,
and
offered
not

vnto

and
of

S.
Paul
reporteth
thus
,
If
all
,
saith
he
,
prophesie
(
and
hee
speaketh
of
publike
prophecie
,
interpretation
,
and
preaching
in

Congregation
)
and
there
come
in
one
that
beleeueth
not
,
or
one
vnlearned
,
(
and
I
adde
,
an
vnwilling
person
,
and
compelled
to
bee
in
place
)
hee
is
rebuked
of
all
,
by
example
of
the
willing
obedience
of
all
,
and
is
iudged
of
all
,
that
is
,
the
more
discerned
how
froward
and
stubberne
he
is
;
so
that
by
the
contrary
example
,
I
say
,
himselfe
may
the
sooner
see
it
,
and
the
sinne
of
it
,
and
be
ashamed
,
one
being
so
censured
of
many
.
And
so
it
may
bee
that
the
secrets
of
his
heart
(
euen
his
hidden
grace
,
and
repentance
not
appearing
before
)
will
bee
made
manifest
,
and
so
he
will
fall
downe
on
his
face
,
and
worship
God
,
euen
willingly
,
and
say
,
that
God
is
indeed
in
you

,
both
Preacher
and
people
thus
seruing
the
Lord
,
and
the
Deuil
was
in
him
,
who
made
him
so
vnwilling
before
:
and
so
awaked
as
it
were
out
of
his
sleep
,
he
will
afterwards
say
(
as
Iacob
of
the
place
,
where
GOD
shewed
him
his
speciall
presence
by
signes
and
promises
)
surely
the
Lord
is
in
this
place
,
but
I
was
not
aware
of
it
.
And
being
stricken
with
feare
with
that
holy
Patriarke
will
say
,
How
terrible
is
this
place
?
that
is
,
how
full
of
the
power
and
maiestie
of
the
Word
of
GOD
,
and
working
of
his
Spirit
in
the
hearts
of
his
people
?
Surely
this
is
none
other
then
the
House
of

this
place
is

And
so
then
for

,
GOD
affording
him
this
loue

care
,
(
as
at
the
first
to
our
first
Parents
,
by
reproouing
them
to
mooue
them
to

)
not
to
leaue
him
wholly

his

(
which
is
the
case
of
those
vnwilling

who

altogether
left

there
is
no

)
but
rather
then
so
,
euen
to
draw
and
compell
him
by
mens
authoritie
to
outward
instruction
,
and
giueth
signe
of
his
fatherly
good
will
and
meaning
,
of
vnwilling
afterwards
to
make
him
willing
,
excluded
or
disaduantaged
by
no
circumstance
of
his
person
;
limited
to
no
one
time
or
season
alone
,
but
hauing
the
length
of
his
life
euen
to
the
last
hower
for
time
of
his
effectuall
calling
,
and
the
mighty
meanes
of
GODS
owne
appointing
,
stil
working
on
him
;
so
as
daily
and
howerly
it
may
bee
hoped
hee
will
turne
vnto
GOD
.
The
second
reason
for
this
forced
and
compulsiue
obedience
respecteth
others
.
And
first
the
Magistrate
,
who
by
doing
his
part
herein
,
declareth
his
zeale
towards
GOD
,
a
true
Religion
;
his
charitie
towards
men
,
in
seeking
the
chiefe
good
,
and
settle-health
of
his
brethren
;
his
loue
and
reuerence
of
the
Lawes
,
and
faithfulnesse
in
due
execution
thereof
,
and
this
especially
concerning
the
first
Table
.
Secondly
,
such
in
priuate
estate
,
as
being
godly
,
shall
reioyce
in
hope
of
good
to
bee
done
on
those
,
who
(
though
vnwillingly
at
first
)
are
ioyned
(
at
least
in
publike
)
to
their
godly
societie
;
and
on
the
other
side
may
take
occasion
(
the
best
being
apt
to
fall
)
to
be
weakened
in
their
loue
,
and
dutie
towards
the
holy
Assemblies
,
when
others
which
owe
the
same
obedience
,
are
pardoned
their
absence
,
or
rather
wholly
left
vnto
themselues
:
and
the
weaker
sort
especially
,
otherwise
resorting
to
the
Congregation
,
are
sooner
drawne
by
such
example
to
embrace
and
entertaine
like
carnall
libertie
,
which
by
the
Magistrates
conniuence
seemeth
to
be
denied
to
none
:
and
so
on
the
otherside
are
better
held
in
and
retained
in
dutie
,
if
round
iustice
be
done
on
all
for
repairing
to
the
Congregation
.
The
third
and
last
reason
toucheth
the
glory
of
GOD
,
which
the
vnwilling
commer
,
if
turned
,
willingly
and
ioyfully
giueth
to
GOD
,
and
blesseth
the
time
of
such
constraint
:
and
if
not
turned
,
yet
at
last
of
necessitie
must
yeeld
vnto
God
.
Yee
shall
not
(
saith
Christ
euen
to
such
kind
of
persons
)
see
me
henceforth
,
vntill
yee
say
,
Blessed
is
hee
that
commeth
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord

and
cursed
are
we
that
could
see
it
no
sooner
.
And
so
Wisedome

is

and

the
blame
of
their
ouerthrow
must
wholly
bee

vpon
