VN
kindnesse
for
Loue
,
is
worse
then
Blowes
for
Hate
:
for
better
is
a
Blister
with
a
Nettle
,
then
a
Pricke
with
a
Rose
.
2.
Affliction
is
to
be
measured
rather
by
Faith
then
Fancy
.
3.
We
must
not
rashly
condemne
them
whom
we
haue
oftimes
consideratly
approued
;
lest
the
change
being
in
our
Iudgment
,
and
not
in
them
;
we
display
our
owne
Weaknesse
,
by
building
on
the
Sandy
foundation
of
Heare-say
;
or
the
Bogs
and
Quag
mires
of
blustring
Malice
.

He
that
beleeueth
Easily

Rashly

Sympathy
of
maners
,
maketh
Symphony
of

Loue
grounded
vpon
Lust
,
dissolueth
vpon
light
occasion

7.
He
that
would
haue
his
name
Registred
with
the
pen
of
Eternity
;
let
him
write
it
himselfe
with
the
pen
of
Chastitie
:
for
Vbi
deus
,
8.
Plenty
shall
bee
vpon
that
Table
,
where
Charity
is
attendant
.
9.
The
mercy
of
God
is
not
promised
to
men
loaden
with
sin
,
but
with
sorrow
for
their
sinne
.
10.
An
insensible
Heart
is
the
Deuills
Anuill
.
11.
It
isin
the
Power
of
mens
sins
,
to
make
God
curse
his
Blessings
.
12.
The
Chaire
of
the
scorner

the
Throne
of
Sathan
.
13.
Worldly
Happines
and
Humblenes
are
seldome
linkt
together
:
●or
very
seldome
is
a
good
minde
●nd
a
great
Estate
giuen
to
one
man
.
14.
The
ranknesse
of
Prosperity
●mpoysons
the
carnall
minde
;
and
●he
Daughter
of
Riches
is
Pride
.
15.
There
is
nothing
that
can
●etter
agree
,
then
Patience
with
●isery
.
16.
The
eyes
that
Sinne
hath

with
impenitency
;
Damnati●●
shall
open
with
a
Vengeance

17.
A
wicked
man
is
soone
Rai●●
,
and
with
like
speede
Depres●●●
:
He
flourisheth
for
a
time
,
and
●●isheth
for
euer
.
18.
A
godly
man
is
long
kept
●wne
,
but
when
he
riseth
his
E●ation
is
permanent
.
19.
Quake
and
feare
,
to
suffer
●●
sinne
of
thy
soule
,
and
the
end
thy
life
to
come
together
.
20.
To
haue
the
Euidence
●
Faith
,
is
to
haue
the
Witnesse
●
Workes
.
21.
Deuout
prayer
and
readi●
makes
Men
like
to
Angels
:
For
●
the
one
they
speake
to
God
,
●
the
other
God
speakes
to
them
.
22.
Hearty
repentance
mou●
God
to
repent
him
of
his
intend

Plagues
.
23.
Through
Iesus
Christ
do●
God
looke
at
vs
,
and
we
at

that
we
may
be
Hopefull
,
and

Mercifull
.
24.
Loue

Dineth
in
t●
Conscience
,
where
Faith
h●
not

broke
her
Fast
.
25.
There
may
bee
a

Charity
,
without
Faith
:
But
th●
can
be
no

of

27.
Hypocrisie
is
a
Pandar●
●ll
other
sinne
:
and
Vice
is
made
Vertues
Ape
,
in
an
Hypocrites
●ractise
.
28.
The
Detractor
and
he
that
●elights
to
heare
him
,
are
whelpes
●f
a
Litter
:
the
one
hath
the
De●ill
in
his
Tongue
,
the
other
in
his
Eare.
29.
The
Dispositions
of
wicked
●en
are
peruerse
:
Coaction
must
●orce
them
to
Goodnesse
,
and
Cor●ection
restraine
them
from
Badnes
.
30.
Hee
that
doth
any
thing
which
God
hath
forbidden
,
doth
●uill
:
and
he
that
doth
it
willful●y
,
is
a
Deuill
.
31.
Not
to
restraine
euill
,
is
to
maintaine
euill
;
And
want
of
pu●ishment
,
is
the
Incouragement
●hereof
.
32.
It
is
allowable
to
haue
plen●y
of
wealthinesse
,
where
mindes
●re
empty
of
Wickednesse
.
33.
Next
to
Prayer
,
there
is
no
better
Sacrifice
then
the
Punishment
of
Malefactors
.
34
We
are
in
this
world
for
Action
,
not
for
Fruition
:
in
viâ
,
not
in
termino
.
35.
It
is
neither
Harsh
nor
Newes
to
Gods
children
,
to
heare
of
Death
,
or
thinke
of
it
.
36.
Christian
fortitude
may
be
ouer-borne
,
not
daunted
:
(
premitur
non
perimitur
.
)
37.
It
is
weaknesse
of
Faith
,
to
feare
to
dye
(
for
feare
of
death
euerlasting
)
since
wee
haue
permission
to
praeclude
Diuine
iudgments
by
our
prayers
,
with
promise
of
Ayde
and
V●ctory
.
38.
It
is
madnesse
to
run
from
Punishment
,
and
not
from
Sinne.
39.
It
is
vaine
to
pray
against
Punishment
,
while
Sinne
continues
.
40.
There
cannot
bee
a
more
forcible
motiue
to
Patience
,
then
to
acknowledge
a
Diuine
hand
to
strike
.
41.
It
is
a
fruit
of
false
Faith
in
aduersity
,
to
seeke
second
meanes
,
with
neglect
of
the
first
,
(
to
wit
,
God.
)
42.
He
that
escapes
Affliction
,
may
suspect
his
Adoption
.
43.
God
is
most
present
,
when
he
most
chastens
.
44.
He
that
hopes
for
good
to
himselfe
,
will
returne
good
for
euillto
others
.
45.
It
is
good
so
to
diet
the
body
,
that
the
soule
may
be
fatted
.
46.
Not
our
Afflictions
,
but
Sins
,
are
Crosses
in
our
way
to
Heauen
.
47.
The
lesse
man
prizes
himselfe
,
the
more
God
esteemes
him
.
48.
The
longer
God
staies
,
not
finding
amendment
;
the
sorer
he
strikes
when
he
comes
to
iudgment
.
49.
As
water
doth
the
fire
,
so
doth
delight
in
sinne
extinguish
repentance
.
50.
Temporall
things
are
to
be
giuen
to
them
that
want
;
and
spirituall
things
to
them
that
haue
.
51.
As
prosperity
doth
not
reueale
a
friend
:
So
aduersity
doth
not
conceale
a
Foe
.
52.
A
wicked
man
hath
(
most-what
)
Feare
for
his
bedfellow
,
Despaire
for
his
companion
,
and
the
sting
of
Conscience
for
his
Tormentor
.
53.
Hee
that
flatters
an
Vsurer
,
doth
claw
the
Deuill
.
54.
Strong
affections
giue
credit
to
weake
Reasons
.
55.
When
the
vniust
sinner
repents
and
confesseth
;
Then
the
iust
Lord
relents
and
forgiues
.
56.
He
that
restores
not
,
repents
not
:
and
his
sinnes
are
retained
,
till
his
vniust
gaines
be
repaid
.
57.
It
is
reason
that
he
that
sets
anothers
house
on
fire
,
should
labour
to
quench
it
:
and
hee
that
hath
done
wrong
,
should
carry
himselfe
so
,
as
he
may
deserue
to
be
forgiuen
.
58.
The
way
to
possesse
all
things
,
is
to
possesse
God
the
Possessour
of
all
things
.
59.
One
Sin
opens
the
doore
for
many
Vertues
to
goe
out
.
60.
As
the
Deuill
will
not
dwel
in
a
house
which
is
not
swept
from
Goodnes
:
So
the
grace
of
God
will
not
dwell
in
a
heart
which
is
not
cleansed
from
Wickednes
.
61.
Hidden
may
be
the
causes
of
Predestination
,
but
vniust
they
neuer
bee
.
62.
Betweene
the
Prowdest
and
Poorest
there
may
be
difference
in
Fleece
,
but
not
in
Flesh
.
63.
Omission
,
and
Comm●ssion
,
are
a
wicked
mans
Confusion
.
64.
Ther
's
litle
difference
betweene
Permission
and
Commission
of
euill
.
65.
Kindly
to
reprehend
,
is
friendly
to
bid
amend
.
66.
If
Charity
command
care
ouer
thy
Neighbours
Body
;
let
Christianity
double
that
care
ouer
his
Soule
.
67.
It
is
a
Vertue
to
bewaile
sin
,
though
we
cannot
preuaile
against
sinne
.
68.
The
deuill
stil
by
Ignorance
or
Insolence
perswades
Men
to
sin
.
69.
They
that
make
Peacocks
of
their
wiues
,
make
Woodcocks
of
themselues
.

71.
Heauen

are
too
straight
for
Grosse

to

of
their
Glory
,
but

)
that

Cup
,
hath
small
cause
to
licke
his
Lips
after

.
75.
The
time
is
Short
,
that
pleaseth
a
sinner
:
euerlasting
,
that
Plagueth
him
.
76.
Pleasure
is
a
Channell
,
and
death
the
Sea
where
vnto
it
runneth
.
77.
It
were
some
blessing
to
an
infamous
Oppressour
if
his
stinking
Memoriall
might
not
surviue
his
Funerall
.
78.
The
perdition
that
Vice
brings
,
is
not
so
Visible
as
miserable
.
79.
The
euill
disposition
of
the
soule
marres
the
good
composition
the
Body

The

Sin
,
the
faithlesse
dead
in

81.
So
far
is
the
spirit
quickned
,
as
the
flesh
is
mortified
:
It
is
therefore
a
true
Paradox
:
A
Christian
so
far
liues
,
as
he
is
dead
.
82.
Christ
at

*
Viz:
by
his
death
.
Blow
slew
our
Sinnes
,
and
saued
our
Soules
.
83.
He
that
wil
not
heare
Christs
Words
,
shall
feele
his
Wounds
:
and
he
that
is
now
deafe
to
his
sweet
voyce
of
Mercy
,
shall
heare
one
Day
his
thundering
voice
of
Iudgement
,
Goe
ye
cursed
&c.
84.
He
is
senslesse
,
who
is
not
sensible
that
he
begins
and
ends
his
life
in
Sorrow
:
his
first
voyce
being
a
Cry
,
and
his
last
a
Groné
.
85.
Euery
soule
shall
mourne
either
in
Repentance
here
,
or
in
Vengeance
hereafter
;
and
he
shall
be
opprest
with
desperation
,
that
hath
not
exprest
contrition
.
86.
A
weake
body
may
haue
a
strong
faith
.
87.
Riot
drinkes
so
many
healths
to
others
,
that
it
leaues
none
to
it selfe
.
88.
The
Antidote
to
diuine
iudgments
,
is
humble
penitence
.
89.
With
God
,
weake
meanes
can
neuer
be
too
weake
:
Without

,

strongest

not

viz.
Accompanied
with
Contrition
;
and
Satisfaction
(
in
the
case
of
Oppression

)
Confession
of
our
sinnes
doth
no
lesse
honour
God
,
than

Not

diabolicall
sense
of
Phrenetical
Catharists
,
but
Analogically
&c.
our
Hell
to
bring

to
his
Heauen
.
92.
Charity
will
allow
Suspition
;
where
no
cause
can
be
found
to
trust
.
93.
Satans
wayes
haue
pleasant
Intrats
but
bitter
Exits
.
94.
He
is
vnworthy
of
Gods
Blessings
,
that
hath
not
learned
to
bee
content
with
his
Corrections
,
(
which
tend
to
our
blessednesse
,
if
we
make
right
vse
of
them
.
)
95.
Beware
of
sinne
;
for
if
thou
make
it
thy
Companion
in
youth
,
it
will
be
thy
Master
in
age
.
96.
It
is
Infidelity
,
in
visible
benefits
,
not
to
see
the
invisible
Giuer
.
97.
Misery
deserues
mercy
:
for
in
doing
good
to
others
,
we
doe
more
good
to
our selues
.
98.
Afflictions
are
necessary
,
for
they
whip
men
to
prayer
and
confession
.
99.
He
that
will
not
resist
Temptation
when
it
is
offerd
,
shall
not
resist
Tribulation
when
it
is
suffered
.
100.
Security
is
the
Suburbs
of
Hell.
101.
Sin
is
as
crafty
as
the
Deuill
,
giue
it
place
in
the
Eye
,
it
will
soone
possesse
the
Heart
.
102.
It
is
the
part
of
Cain
,
to
deny
to
be
thy
Brothers
keeper
.
103.
Mortifie
thy
sinnes
before
they
mortifie
thy
soule
:
For
eternall
Life
or
death
depends
vpon
it
.
104.
Sin
,
and
an
accusing
conscience
,
will
cleaue
to
an
impenitent
Soule
,
in
death
;
after
death
,
in
iudgment
,
and
for
euer
.
105.
Two
things
are
to
be
noted
out
of
euery
good
Booke
and
Sermon
:
1.
That
which
thou
didest
not
know
before
:
2.
That
which
speaketh
to
thy
sinnes
:
for
by
the
one
,
thou
shalt
encrease
thy
Knowledge
;
by
the
other
lessen
thy
Vices
.
106.
He
that
hath
an
vnfained
desire
to
pay
,
and
cannot
,
makes
his
debt
a
Sore
,
not
a
Sin
:
For
God
will
accept
his
Restitution
mentall
;
though
Man
bee
content
with
no
lesse
then
Totall
.
107.
As
[
*
](A08887-e23330-b)
*
Prouided
it
be
not
such
as
some
pretend
,
which
conceit
themselues
to
be
the
onely
elect
and
can
tell
how
many
in
a
Towne
shall
be
saued
or
damned
.
Dea
Cotytto
,
quanti
hi
tibi
Mys●tagogs
!
Humility
is
a
signe
of
Election
:
so
pride
is
a
signe
of
reiection
.
108.
As
the
Seruants
of
God
are
knowne
by
humility
and
charity
:
So
the
Deuills
slaues
are
knowne
by
pride
and
cruelty
.
109.
As
a
Wolfe
followes
his
Prey
,
and
Hunters
follow
him
:
So
while
an
oppressour
pursues
the
poore
,
the
Deuill
dogs
him
at
the
heeles
.
110.
There
are
three
degrees
of
sinne
;
Suggestion
,
Delectation
,
Consent
:
Suggestion
is
the
Seed
,
Delectation
the
Nourishment
,
Consent
the
Accomplishment
.
111.
To
pretend
Sincerity
and
want
Sanctity
,
is
meere
hypocrisy
112.
Death
to
Sin
,
is
the
Funerall
of
Vice
,
and
the
Resurrection
of
Vertue
.
113.
The
Scripture
is
a
faithfull
Counsellour
in
prosperity
,
and
a
sure
Comforter
in
aduersity
,
114.
He
that
is
rightly
wise
will
vse
humane
Wisdome
,

To
the
true
Beleeuer
nothing

either
to

:
In

he

In

123.
When
we
pray
to
the
Lord
for

,
we
must
not
fix
our
Confidence
on

124.
Hee
that

God
his
Lips
insteed

,
teaches
him
to
giue
him
Stones
instead
of
Bread.

Christ
was
Figured
in
the
Law
,
Foretold
in
the
Prophets
,
and
Fulfilled
in
the
Gospel
.
126.
Christ
was
made
not
onely
Redemption
to
saue
man
,
but
Wisedome
and
Example
to
guide
him
:
therefore
learne
and
imitate
.
127.
The
best
Reuenge
of
a
Christian
,
is
to
correct
his
Lusts
,
and
to
take
Vengeance
of
his
own
Sinnes
.
128.
He
that
hates
a
good
Man
,
hates
God.
He
that
hates
an
E●●ll
man
,
hates
one
like

:
therefore
haue
peace
with
all
men
.
129.
As
Men
would
haue
men
doe
as
they
teach
;
So
God
would
haue
men
to
doe
as
they
heare
;
Else
Hearers
shall
bee
no

saued

Aduersity
is
Gods
Vniuersity
,
wherein
wee
learne
the
Iustice

Mercy

Aduersity
seekes

The
best
Antidote
for
Afflictions

is
to

Fasting

will
hee
bee
found
with
holy
feasting

reioycing

To
humble
our
soules

God

is
to
Embase

Embrace

A
Vertuous

Illustrious

Glorious

Prayer

Repentance
is
the
Supersedeas

wherewith
all
the
Bonds
of

discharged

145.
Though
sin
be
as
heauy
as
a
mountaine
of
Lead
,
yet
his
weight
is
light
in
a
corrupt
heart
.
146.
Where
the
cinders
of
naturall
affection
are
extinct
,
there
can
be
no

beautifie

there
good

Good
Lawes

It

not

to

to
do

:
for
it
is
damnable
,
not
to
doe

.
153.
He
that

God
,
by
Faith
;
God
will
come
vnto
him
,
by

154.
A

Anger

Reproue
in
Errour
,
Comfort
in
Aduersity
,
and
Counsell

Where
Fasting

corporall
Passions

cured
:
Where

Spirituall
Pestilence
is
healed

If

Greatnesse

striues

158.
Hee
that

makes

Ministers
of
mercy
can
doe
little
good
,
except
ministers
of
Iustice
put
to
their
helping
hands
.
160.
Ministers
may
forbid
corruptions
of
the
Heart
:
but
Magistrats
must
prohibite
the
Wickednesse
of

161.
Greatnesse

The
Burthen
of
Sin
,
must
make

,
before
we
haue
any
promise
of
Ease
.
167.
The
next
way
to
abate
the
burthen
of
Iudgment
,
is
to
abate
the
burthen
of
Sin.
168.
He
cannot

The
Lease
of
vanity
,

a
Moment

the

170.
To
buy
the
merriment
of

,
with
the
Eternity
of
insufferable
Torments

is
a
deare
Purchase

Christ

The

no

lest

For

In
