A
godly
and
faythfull
Oration
full
of
comfort
,
which
intreateth
of
true
tranquillitie
of
the
minde
,
compiled
and
gathered
in
Latin
by
Iohn
Barnard

englished

IT
SHALL
(
GOOD
people
)
be
a
thing
most
profitable
and
very
godly
,
and
in
all
mischaunces
the
readiest
refuge
,
if
I
shall
in
déede
performe
(
as
in
hope
I
haue
attempted
)
to
shewe
with
all
diligence
,
where
the
true
tranquillitie
of
the
minde
may
be
founde
.
The
which
béeing
founde
out
,
I
may
plainly
(
as
it
were
with
my
finger
)
set
it
forth
,
to
the
true
louers
therof
:
&
being
so
set
out
,
I
may
incourage
and
prouoke
them
,
to
imbrace
,
follow
,
and
earnestly
labor
to
atchieue
the
same
:
that
all
impediments
remooued
,
and
all
carefulnesse
put
of
and
layde
aside
,
there
be
no
aduersitie
so
great
in
any
state
of
lyfe
to
ouercharge
them
,
but
they
beare
and
passe
ouer
the
same
with
a
pacient
minde
,
as
people
who
dispise
the
vanities
of
this
worlde
,
being
rauished
with
meditation
of
the
newe
life
to
begin
,
and
desire
of
ascending
to
higher
things
of
more
estimation
.
But
although
the
thing
which
I
shall
labour
to
be
knowne
and
layde
abroade
,
and
with
due
commendation
to
be
set
forth
,
be
a
matter
very
delectable
,
and
of
euery
one
feruently
with
all
prayer
to
be
desired
,
yet
neuerthelesse
,
if
I
shal
reprooue
those
things
in
the
procéeding
of
my
Oration
,
which
might
séeme
to
be
allowed
:
it
will
be
a
hard
matter
,
and
a
worke
of
great
difficultye
,
to
disswade
a
man
from
the
thing
,
which
by
wrong
iudgement
he
hath
conceyued
,
and
to
cause
,
that
he
not
onely
in
countenaunce
and
shewe
,
doe
make
much
of
the
cleare
light
of
the
truth
,
and
receyue
the
same
againe
once
excluded
from
him
:
but
also
that
the
minde
may
conuey
it
in
by
the
entrie
of
the
hart
,
and
to
loue
it
with
al
his
power
,
to
carrie
it
about
with
him
,
and
to
suffer
it
to
be
wrested
and
woon
away
,
by
no
subtile
deuise
of
obscure
darkenesse
.
For
in
euery
age
,
and
especially
in
the
schooles
of
Philosophers
,
was
the
question
,
concerning
the
true
tranquilitie
of
the
minde
,
reasoned
of
,
no
lesse
than
was
that
of
the
felicitie
of
mans
life
:
for
which
,
it
is
reported
,
they
fell
oftentimes
at
great
controuersie
.
Which
controuersie
,
rose
not
so
much
of
the
varietie
of
mens
opinions
,
as
of
the
diuers
trades
of
sundrie
other
mens
liues
.
For
thence
,
euerye
man
hoped
to
obtaine
the
quietnesse
of
his
minde
,
wherein
he
counted
the
originall
of
his
owne
imagined
chiefest
good
to
rest
.
As
the
noble
Philosophers
,
Albanes
,
Scythes
,
and
Massagetes
,
entered
into
the
most
welthie
kingdome
of
India
,
and
at
last
hauing
past
ouer
the
most
large
water
of
Physon
(
which
some
thinke
to
be
Ganges
)
he
came
to
the
Brachmans
to
here
Hiarcha
,
who
being
in
a
throne
of
golde
,
and
drinking
of
Tantalus
fountaine
,
sat
among
a
fewe
schollers
,
teaching
the
nature
of
thinges
,
the
motion
of
starres
,
&
the
course
of
dayes
.
From
thence
returning
to
Alexandria
:
by
the
Elamites
,
Babilonians
,
Parthians
,
Syrians
,
Phenices
,
Arabians
,
and
Philistians
,
he
went
into
Ethiopia
,
to
sée
the
Gymnosophistes
,
and
to
beholde
the
table
of
the
sunne
in
the
grauelly
sande
.
This
man
,
did
he
in
vaine
spend
so
great
labors
,
paciently
suffer
so
manye
griefes
,
enter
in
so
great
ieopardies
,
by
passing
so
many
diuers
regions
,
by
abyding
so
many
penuries
in
performing
his
iorneys
,
to
the
intent
he
might
be
present
to
heare
the
most
famous
doctors
of
the
worlde
speake
with
their
liuely
voyce
,
teaching
the
precepts
of
their
wisedome
?
or
did
he
it
to
the
intent
he
might
euerye
where
finde
somewhat
to
be
taught
:
that
he
alwayes
profiting
himselfe
,
might
euery
day
procéede
better
and
better
,
and
by
that
meanes
,
atchieue
to
the
highest
degrée
of
happinesse
and
securitie
of
mind
,
hazarded
with
so
many
trauelles
and
daungers
.
To
fill
vp
the
number
of
thrée
,
But
nowe
the
noble
Princes
and
Gouernors
of
common
weales
,
Againe
,
O
Cytis
,
first
money
seeke
to
gaine
,
But
the
other
sentence
of
the
same
Poet
,
they
reiect
,
and
dispise
in
their
minde
,
not
willing
once
to
heare
it
namde
.
For
more
is
golde
,
than
siluer
solde
:
But
vertues
are
more
high
than
golde
.
In
our
age
,
but
especially
within
late
yeares
,
couetousnesse
hath
preuayled
aboue
measure
,
and
taken
déepe
roote
,
by
entering
and
possessing
the
heartes
of
euery
one
,
of
all
ages
,
states
,
and
degrées
,
that
vnlesse
God
,
with
al
expedition
,
put
to
his
helping
hande
,
we
may
dispaire
of
any
remedie
for
this
disease
,
and
iustlye
complaine
with
Ouid.
A
golden
worlde
is
now
in
deede
,
But
of
all
couetous
persons
,
none
commit
more
damnable
offence
,
nor
more
haynous
crime
,
than
they
,
which
to
the
hurt
&
hinderance
of
others
,
coople
house
to
house
,
&
land
to
lande
,
and
such
as
ioyne
large
and
wonderfull
possessions
togither
,
as
rich
booties
gotten
by
violence
,
robbery
,
murther
,
and
deceyte
.
Last
of
all
,
Nowe
what
am
I
,
Nowe
before
I
enter
anye
further
into
the
matter
,
I
humblie
craue
the
ayde
of
almightie
God
,
desiring
the
eternall
father
of
our
Lorde
Iesu
Christ
,
whome
I
acknowledge
to
be
the
true
giuer
of
all
good
things
,
through
his
sonne
,
that
in
stéede
of
this
my
want
and
imperfection
,
he
will
poure
vpon
me
his
holy
spirite
,
to
minister
,
giue
and
inspire
in
me
,
those
things
,
which
both
may
be
acceptable
and
pleasaunt
vnto
him
,
and
also
profitable
and
commodious
to
the
common
wealth
.
And
first
let
vs
go
backe
againe
to
those
foure
chiefe
kindes
of
lyfe
,
which
the
voluptuous
sort
,
the
studious
of
gaine
,
the
polytique
,
and
Philosophers
,
do
labour
to
attaine
.
And
let
vs
with
some
greater
consideration
,
searche
out
,
whither
in
lucre
and
aduauntage
,
in
worship
and
renoume
,
in
knowledge
or
cunning
,
the
true
tranquillitie
of
the
minde
may
be
found
:
since
in
these
(
as
within
their
chiefest
limites
and
vttermost
boundes
)
those
former
things
consist
and
haue
their
being
.
The
vnlawfull
lust
of
voluptuousnesse
,
Morcouer
,
the
pleasure
of
the
bodie
,
abounding
and
passing
quickly
awaye
,
doth
oftner
(
as
the
Philosophers
say
)
leaue
causes
of
repentance
behinde
it
,
than
of
calling
the
same
to
remembraunce
being
past
.
But
such
repentaunce
,
oftentymes
approching
,
(
bicause
it
ingendreth
griefe
,
and
causeth
a
certaine
inwarde
gnawing
through
sorrowe
)
vtterly
excludeth
all
quietnesse
of
mynde
.
A
great
way
of
,
are
the
tender
and
delicate
persons
,
which
loue
finenesse
.
Yea
,
and
farre
of
,
are
they
,
which
be
filled
with
daintie
fare
,
till
they
sweate
&
blow
againe
,
and
much
lyke
vnto
fatte
oxen
,
giue
themselues
to
surfetting
and
drongennesse
,
farre
dissonant
,
from
the
swéete
and
sound
ioy
of
the
temperate
sort
,
which
followe
noble
abstinence
and
moderation
in
fare
and
dyet
.
For
the
first
entering
to
voluptuousnesse
,
although
it
séeme
pleasant
,
yet
notwithstanding
it
bringeth
bitter
endings
with
it
:
and
vnlesse
repentaunce
be
had
,
incurres
at
length
hell
fyre
.
They
which
are
occupied
with
the
Tabret
and
Harpe
,
and
reioyce
at
the
sounde
of
the
Pype
,
spende
their
dayes
as
best
lyketh
them
:
but
in
a
moment
(
saith
the
pacient
Iob
)
they
go
downe
to
hell
.
Carnall
pleasures
let
be
refraynde
:
For
pleasures
hurt
with
sorrow
gaynde
.
For
not
onelye
the
strength
of
the
minde
,
and
wit
,
but
the
disposition
also
of
the
bodie
,
senses
,
and
good
helth
,
leaueth
and
forsaketh
them
that
loyter
in
ydlenesse
,
liue
finely
,
delicately
,
and
wantonly
,
be
amorous
,
delight
in
drinking
,
playing
,
dauncing
to
the
noyse
of
Instrumentes
,
be
attentiffe
to
louing
wanton
and
trifling
songes
,
and
thereby
styrre
vp
,
kindle
,
and
in
filthie
maner
inflame
the
lustes
of
the
fleshe
(
prone
of
it selfe
to
euill
)
and
such
as
haunt
harlots
,
and
are
caried
hedlong
,
into
euery
kinde
of
intemperance
and
voluptuousnesse
.
And
moreouer
,
Howe
much
our
money
with
vs
doth
growe
,
So
farre
our
loue
therein
we
sowe
.
Euen
as
for
the
increase
and
superfluitie
of
grosse
humors
,
Horace
discribeth
.
The
cruell
dropsie
doth
increase
,
Like
so
,
the
couetous
sort
,
the
more
ryches
they
heape
vp
togither
,
be
it
by
right
or
by
wrong
,
the
more
vehemently
and
immoderately
,
they
thirst
after
them
.
And
through
that
vice
of
couetousnesse
,
there
bréedeth
in
kinges
and
high
estates
,
polling
and
extorting
from
subiects
,
pilling
and
taking
away
of
Church
goodes
,
abusing
the
ministers
of
Christes
Church
,
and
wresting
the
worde
of
God
at
their
owne
pleasure
,
vntrue
accusing
and
putting
to
death
of
many
,
vniust
condemning
and
possessing
of
goodes
:
and
sinally
the
vngodly
desire
of
warres
,
to
the
intent
to
spoyle
countries
.
And
in
the
meaner
sort
,
for
the
desire
they
haue
,
eyther
to
maintaine
their
superfluous
charges
,
to
increase
their
wealth
,
or
to
shake
of
their
pouertie
&
beggery
,
there
resteth
both
fraude
,
guile
,
legerdimaine
,
vnfaythfulnesse
,
robberie
,
filching
of
the
Princes
treasure
,
lying
,
stealing
,
robbing
by
the
high
wayes
,
murders
,
periurie
:
and
finally
there
remaineth
in
euery
one
the
gréedie
desire
of
other
mens
goodes
,
(
forbidden
by
the
commaundement
)
wherewith
they
being
inflamed
,
make
all
the
way
they
can
to
get
money
.
They
breake
all
lawes
,
as
well
holy
,
as
prophane
,
force
neyther
for
heauen
nor
earth
,
but
turne
all
vpsye
downe
,
busie
themselues
in
wrong
and
oppression
of
their
neighbour
,
vndoe
the
poorer
sort
with
vsurie
,
and
which
is
woorst
of
all
,
many
(
after
Iudas
example
)
become
traytors
to
the
Gospell
,
so
they
may
by
one
meanes
or
other
,
bring
in
substaunce
and
augment
their
ryches
.
For
what
is
it
that
hunger
sweete
of
golde
doth
not
compell
,
men
mortall
to
attempt
?
Very
well
therefore
did
saint
Paule
warne
Timothie
from
desire
of
ryches
,
when
he
sayde
:
They
that
will
become
riche
,
Yet
moreouer
,
So
many
walled
Townes
subdude
,
and
enimies
put
to
flight
,
So
many
Castles
ouercome
,
when
first
he
came
in
sight
.
And
Rome
it selfe
the
hedde
of
all
,
Of
warres
the
chiefest
pray
,
But
easie
to
be
wonne
:
to
others
might
haue
beene
a
stay
.
But
Caesar
swift
to
each
intent
,
no
acte
beleude
was
donne
So
long
as
ought
remainde
vngot
,
that
might
with
power
be
wonne
.
In
so
outragious
heate
of
gréedie
desire
,
what
place
thinke
we
,
is
left
,
(
I
will
not
say
to
quietnesse
and
tranquillitie
of
mind
)
but
so
much
as
to
breath
vpon
,
at
frée
libertie
.
Truely
,
it
were
easier
,
for
such
a
one
,
if
he
were
falling
downe
hedlong
,
from
a
stéepe
,
and
high
mountaine
into
the
Sea
,
to
stay
himselfe
by
the
way
,
then
to
appease
and
mittigate
,
his
vntemperate
heat
of
the
minde
,
being
captiuated
with
the
vnsatiable
apetite
,
of
bearing
rule
,
of
honor
,
and
aduauncement
.
Glorye
also
,
with
muche
paines
and
watchings
is
gotten
:
and
with
infinit
labor
,
in
a
long
space
of
time
,
is
empire
purchased
,
but
in
the
least
moment
of
an
houre
,
may
it
be
lost
againe
.
Wherfore
the
Poet
Seneca
,
cryeth
out
alowde
,
and
warneth
Kings
and
Princes
,
sharpely
rebuking
them
,
in
this
sorte
.
O
ye
to
whome
the
guide
of
lande
and
sea
,
But
ambicious
Princes
,
chiefly
fall
abous
all
others
:
and
so
much
the
more
grieuous
,
is
their
fall
,
as
they
haue
attained
,
to
greatnesse
of
dignitie
,
which
thing
the
foresayds
tragicall
Seneca
,
in
his
booke
of
Hippolito
,
eligantly
expresseth
.
What
miseries
happen
within
mans
life
,
But
fortune
rageth
least
,
in
matters
small
,
To
small
faultes
,
doth
God
decree
but
little
griefe
:
To
rest
vnknowne
,
the
humble
sort
doe
fall
:
And
soundly
sleepe
within
a
cottage
hall
.
But
houses
built
so
nere
the
skies
,
The
Southerne
blast
must
bide
:
The
raging
of
the
Northeast
winde
,
And
showers
of
Westerne
side
.
The
same
sense
hath
another
(
but
none
expressely
)
couched
in
these
verses
folowing
:
and
by
bringing
in
of
similituds
,
doth
trimly
set
forth
the
thing
it selfe
,
in
our
sight
.
More
oft
is
shaket
,
It
doth
me
good
to
recite
the
Poets
,
who
hauing
no
knowledge
of
Christ
,
yet
they
submitted
all
thinges
vnto
God
,
whome
of
Iuuando
(
that
is
helping
)
they
named
Ioue
,
of
bountifulnesse
,
they
called
him
the
best
:
and
vnto
whome
they
attributed
the
care
and
charge
of
all
mans
causes
.
Yea
,
and
make
mention
also
,
that
he
would
at
length
take
accounte
of
his
seruauntes
,
euen
of
such
,
as
be
kinges
and
gouernours
of
common
weales
.
But
to
come
nigher
the
purpose
:
who
is
he
,
that
hath
not
heard
(
if
hée
haue
read
but
a
fewe
of
the
auncient
wryters
)
howe
many
Emperours
haue
béene
deposed
,
and
pulled
from
their
seates
,
and
also
,
how
the
royall
power
of
kinges
,
hath
béene
taken
from
them
,
and
wrested
away
by
violence
.
The
Histories
,
are
full
of
mutations
in
Monarchies
,
of
the
seruitude
of
kingdomes
frée
borne
,
and
of
the
destruction
of
noble
Cities
.
Therefore
,
whether
carefull
coueting
,
hath
not
obtaynde
this
pretensed
degrée
of
honor
:
or
if
it
haue
obteined
the
same
,
the
carefull
feare
of
chaunge
:
or
if
it
haue
lost
it
,
the
sorowfull
calling
to
mind
of
that
which
was
forgotten
:
will
be
a
let
to
an
ambicious
person
,
that
he
can
not
be
quiet
and
voyde
of
care
.
But
the
true
tranquillitie
of
the
minde
,
Lastly
,
But
after
that
Christ
,
But
Christ
leadeth
vs
from
all
wandring
and
troublesome
crossewayes
of
error
and
blindnesse
,
and
setteth
vs
with
his
doctrine
,
Now
it
is
necessarie
to
declare
the
lets
and
impedimentes
,
The
earth
is
full
of
sinfulnesse
:
The
sea
is
frayght
with
wretchednesse
.
Some
misfortune
there
happeneth
alwayes
in
mans
lyfe
,
to
interrupt
and
subuert
our
quietnesse
,
vnlesse
a
man
arme
his
minde
to
abide
all
misaduentures
,
and
prepare
himselfe
before
hand
,
to
beare
what
soeuer
shall
happen
vnto
him
.
Which
common
state
and
rule
of
life
,
Euripides
hath
prettily
set
forth
in
these
thrée
verses
following
.
There
is
no
worde
so
fearefull
spoke
,
Wherfore
,
Plato
compared
mans
life
to
a
Die
,
whose
best
chaunce
,
euery
Dicer
desireth
to
haue
,
but
yet
,
howsoeuer
it
happeneth
,
he
must
by
arte
remedie
that
which
chaunceth
to
him
otherwise
than
he
desired
.
For
as
the
Bée
gathereth
most
swéete
hony
out
of
the
withered
Tyme
,
and
out
of
other
herbs
of
more
vnpleasant
iuice
:
like
so
,
may
we
also
,
out
of
euil
and
vnprofitable
things
,
picke
out
that
which
may
turne
to
our
profite
and
commoditie
.
Euen
as
shipwracke
to
Zeno
Citius
,
and
banishment
to
Diogenes
,
gaue
them
occasion
to
studie
Philosophie
.
But
let
vs
procéede
to
other
perillous
matters
,
which
be
lettes
of
true
tranquillitie
of
the
minde
.
There
is
seldome
founde
out
any
one
that
is
content
with
his
calling
,
but
thinks
an
other
in
happier
case
than
himsefe
.
The
worlde
,
and
Sathan
Prince
and
Lord
thereof
,
being
capitall
,
and
continuall
enimies
of
mankinde
,
conspire
our
destruction
in
such
vnderminding
sorte
,
as
if
they
were
néere
friendes
vnto
vs
.
What
a
heape
of
euilles
in
these
oure
dayes
,
Who
is
he
nowe
,
that
if
he
had
subdued
all
Nations
vnder
heauen
,
if
he
had
gotten
all
the
worlde
in
possession
,
woulde
not
lay
aside
all
dominion
,
and
willingly
surrender
vp
the
empyre
of
the
worlde
,
to
the
intent
he
might
quiet
his
afflicted
conscience
,
and
washe
awaye
the
griefes
and
blemishes
thereof
,
which
neuer
suffers
the
minde
once
to
take
breath
?
Let
vs
therefore
séeke
out
,
where
,
and
from
whence
,
that
excellent
quietnesse
of
the
minde
is
to
be
looked
for
,
which
doth
not
onely
appease
,
the
carefull
cogitations
and
thoughts
of
the
conscience
,
but
also
,
slakes
,
and
kéepes
vnder
,
the
raging
affections
of
the
same
:
and
besides
,
doth
make
easie
,
and
tollerable
,
whatsoeuer
else
doth
eyther
hurt
the
bodie
,
or
any
other
outwarde
chaunce
that
happeneth
to
arise
.
Omitting
the
erronious
opinions
of
the
ignoraunt
Elyas
,
the
Charret
of
Israell
,
and
the
horsemen
therof
(
as
Elizeus
wordes
be
)
at
what
time
hée
fledde
to
mount
Horeb
,
for
feare
of
Iezabel
.
For
the
word
of
the
Lorde
spake
vnto
him
,
that
he
should
come
out
of
the
caue
(
wherin
he
rested
all
night
)
and
to
stande
before
the
Lorde
in
the
Mount.
And
beholde
the
Lorde
passed
by
,
and
a
mightie
strong
wind
that
rent
the
mountaynes
,
and
brake
the
rockes
before
the
Lorde
:
but
the
Lorde
was
not
in
the
winde
.
After
the
wynde
,
there
came
an
earth
quake
:
but
the
Lorde
was
not
in
the
earthquake
.
After
the
earthquake
,
was
a
fier
,
neyther
yet
was
the
Lorde
in
the
fier
.
And
after
the
fier
,
there
came
a
soft
still
voyce
:
which
,
when
Helias
hearde
,
he
couered
his
face
with
his
mantell
.
Why
was
it
the
Lords
pleasure
,
to
appéere
in
a
soft
still
voyce
,
but
to
shews
plainely
,
that
he
woulde
giue
rest
and
quietnesse
,
vnto
such
are
sadde
and
afflicted
with
vexation
both
of
soule
and
minde
:
so
as
,
in
their
whole
heart
,
they
séeke
after
God
,
and
flie
onely
to
him
for
helpe
:
as
did
this
Elias
,
when
he
sat
vnder
a
Iuniper
trée
in
the
wildernesse
,
wishing
for
death
.
Wherfore
,
with
this
voyce
,
the
Lorde
in
the
Gospell
,
doth
mercifully
call
vnto
him
,
such
as
are
become
weake
through
desperation
,
as
are
troubled
in
conscience
,
and
loden
wyth
cares
,
saying
:
Come
vnto
me
all
yée
that
labour
,
and
are
heauie
loden
,
and
I
will
refresh
you
.
But
although
I
haue
(
as
occasion
did
serue
)
recyted
,
to
what
ende
chiefly
,
that
misticall
feast
doth
tende
:
which
comprehendeth
,
&
chiefly
respecteth
the
declaration
of
the
lords
death
:
yet
,
that
no
man
,
lay
to
my
charge
,
how
I
haue
indirectly
past
ouer
with
silence
,
those
high
benifites
:
besides
the
common
confession
of
our
fayth
,
whereby
we
wayte
for
saluation
of
our
soules
,
through
one
and
the
same
Sauiour
:
But
now
,
that
we
haue
béene
occupied
,
in
calling
to
minde
,
the
benifites
which
are
annexed
to
the
Lordes
supper
,
being
dulye
ministred
,
as
it
ought
to
be
,
and
worthylye
receyued
of
the
faithfull
:
let
vs
returne
to
the
matter
,
which
we
haue
in
hande
,
(
that
is
to
say
)
to
the
great
misterie
of
our
saluation
,
and
redemption
:
through
rememberaunce
whereof
,
there
groweth
peace
of
conscience
,
and
tranquillitie
of
mynde
.
Whereby
,
though
the
Deuill
putte
vs
in
feare
,
the
worlde
disquiet
vs
,
and
the
fleshe
prouoke
vs
,
yet
the
same
remayneth
still
in
perpetuall
quietnesse
,
&
securitie
.
Thence
commeth
it
,
that
the
multitude
of
sinnes
,
and
greatnesse
of
them
,
doe
not
debarre
vs
the
way
to
Gods
mercie
:
nor
the
abyding
in
sinne
for
a
season
,
vtterly
take
away
all
hope
of
forgiuenesse
.
From
thence
springeth
our
loue
that
we
haue
towardes
God
,
which
spared
not
his
owne
Sonne
:
but
for
all
our
sakes
gaue
him
to
death
,
and
with
him
gaue
vs
all
good
things
.
Thence
riseth
that
déepe
mindefulnesse
of
Gods
benifites
,
in
that
he
adopted
vs
to
be
his
owne
children
:
and
for
this
benifite
,
continuall
thankes
is
to
be
celebrated
of
all
the
faythfull
.
There
is
nothing
in
all
the
worlde
,
that
at
such
time
,
as
we
are
meditating
vppon
Christ
,
can
once
pierse
our
conscience
:
much
lesse
driue
it
to
desperation
:
were
it
for
committing
the
greatest
sinne
of
all
other
.
For
if
transgressing
of
the
law
,
brings
terror
vnto
vs
:
It
helpeth
againe
to
remember
,
that
Christ
hath
redemed
vs
from
the
curse
of
the
law
.
If
sinne
trouble
vs
:
we
are
recomforted
,
in
that
Christ
,
not
only
remitted
to
the
debtor
ten
thousand
tallents
,
which
ought
a
great
deale
:
forgaue
Peter
,
that
had
grieuously
offended
him
:
pardoned
the
Théefe
,
who
had
long
continued
in
sinne
:
but
also
,
by
his
owne
bloud
,
washed
vs
cleane
from
all
sinne
.
If
death
gréeue
vs
:
Christ
is
become
both
our
lyfe
,
and
resurrection
.
If
the
wrath
of
God
make
vs
pensiue
:
by
Christ
are
we
reconciled
vnto
God
.
If
hell
fire
feare
vs
:
Christ
by
conquering
of
Hell
,
hath
opened
the
gates
of
heauen
.
This
we
knowe
by
the
worde
of
God
,
Last
of
all
,
Here
nowe
it
commeth
verye
well
to
minde
,
When
ye
shall
sée
(
sayth
he
)
the
abhomination
of
desolation
standing
in
the
holye
place
,
And
Saint
Hierome
,
Wherefore
,
they
that
be
studious
,
and
desirous
of
the
truth
,
first
of
all
,
must
here
the
worde
of
God
:
euen
the
verye
same
worde
,
which
Adam
,
Abraham
,
the
fathers
,
and
Prophets
:
and
finally
,
that
the
gentiles
and
whosoeuer
else
in
the
vniuersall
world
,
which
through
beléefe
obtayned
saluation
,
did
here
.
This
worde
,
as
it
was
reuealed
to
the
fathers
,
so
the
will
of
God
makes
it
knowne
vnto
vs
,
by
expresse
declaration
in
Bookes
:
Wherevnto
if
we
giue
no
credit
,
neyther
will
we
beléeue
,
This
one
,
holye
,
catholicke
,
The
iudgement
,
wherewith
we
discerne
,
approue
,
instruct
,
and
reproue
,
must
be
supported
with
knowledge
.
Great
submission
,
Gregorie
Nazianzen
that
excellent
deuine
)
let
vs
pourge
the
mynde
from
all
vice
,
and
put
of
,
or
at
leastwise
indeuour
to
put
of
from
our
bodies
all
prouocation
to
euill
.
Furthermore
,
the
euiles
,
which
by
reason
of
sinne
,
are
brought
into
the
worlde
,
ought
neyther
to
quaile
our
minde
,
Besides
this
also
,
Furthermore
,
It
happeneth
not
seldome
,
but
in
a
maner
alwayes
,
that
the
supersticious
sort
,
For
there
can
be
no
blame
layde
to
the
Preachers
of
the
worde
of
God
,
But
not
pacified
onely
with
this
punishment
,
But
the
sincere
louers
of
the
truth
,
(
when
contrarie
wise
,
the
stubberne
and
disobedient
,
by
Gods
iust
iudgement
,
are
blinded
)
shall
sée
light
in
darckenesse
,
and
among
déepe
errors
,
shall
spye
out
the
light
of
the
worde
:
which
worde
shall
be
their
guyde
,
and
shall
make
the
way
plaine
vnto
them
,
least
the
féete
of
the
Sainctes
stumble
against
the
darke
mountaines
.
These
men
,
shining
in
good
works
,
before
the
blindnesse
of
mortall
men
,
shall
,
by
shewing
the
true
worde
of
the
Gospell
,
shake
off
the
darckenesse
of
errors
:
and
by
warning
,
exhorting
,
and
reproouing
the
workes
of
darkenesse
,
shall
bring
backe
the
shéepe
of
Christ
(
often
straying
from
the
right
course
&
pathway
)
vnto
that
one
blessed
flocke
of
true
Christians
.
These
men
also
,
that
the
Deuill
(
if
it
be
possible
)
may
suppresse
,
he
stretcheth
out
his
threates
,
and
terrors
of
gréeuous
persecution
against
them
,
that
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
,
eyther
by
ridding
such
out
of
the
way
,
or
by
their
consent
vnto
an
vntruth
,
might
vtterly
be
put
to
scilence
.
But
he
finally
preuayleth
,
by
his
violent
meanes
.
Lyttle
doth
he
aduantage
,
by
his
cruell
and
blouddie
assaults
,
to
ouerthrow
Gods
seruants
,
and
to
vanquish
the
truth
.
For
the
Church
of
God
,
the
bloud
of
Martires
is
the
seede
of
Christes
religion
.
Farre
from
thys
are
they
kept
,
Therefore
,
they
only
are
taught
by
Christ
,
But
and
if
a
man
,
Is
it
asked
wherefore
,
Egistus
was
adulter
made
.
The
cause
is
plaine
,
&
quickly
knowne
:
since
he
with
sloth
was
clade
.
For
they
which
be
alwaies
tyed
to
some
labor
or
businesse
,
and
neuer
be
voyde
of
occupation
,
doe
sildome
giue
any
respit
to
vuhonest
lust
.
Wherefore
it
is
necessary
that
with
Godly
studies
,
and
honest
occupations
,
we
continuallye
resist
the
pride
of
the
fleshe
,
and
with
accustomed
fasting
and
hunger
,
(
but
the
same
moderate
)
we
bridle
the
violence
therof
:
and
also
that
with
continuall
sobriety
and
temperaunce
,
we
kéepe
vnder
our
laciuious
lyfe
.
Whatsoeuer
the
deuill
shall
sugiest
,
and
will
vs
to
doe
,
the
same
must
we
diligently
traueyle
to
shake
of
,
euen
with
all
the
expedition
we
can
:
and
we
must
neyther
wyllingly
consent
therevnto
,
nor
yet
rest
any
longer
vpon
the
same
,
but
straite
waye
slie
to
the
assistaunce
of
almightie
God
,
and
poure
out
our
prayers
before
him
,
expelling
from
our
minde
(
as
it
were
one
nayle
wyth
another
)
euill
thoughts
,
with
other
thoughts
which
are
better
.
And
let
vs
remember
the
sayings
and
examples
of
the
misticall
scriptures
,
which
forbid
all
filthynesse
,
and
pronownce
wrath
and
punishment
,
against
those
which
be
defiled
.
Let
vs
be
abashte
to
commit
in
the
sight
of
God
,
(
who
séeth
all
things
)
such
filthinesse
as
we
would
be
ashamed
off
,
if
,
but
our
owne
companion
should
be
priuie
therevnto
.
Let
it
come
into
our
remembraunce
,
what
we
professed
in
baptisme
,
howe
famous
conquerours
,
warryours
,
and
Captaines
we
would
become
:
and
vpon
victorie
gotten
,
what
large
and
bountyfull
rewardes
we
shall
looke
for
:
as
eternal
tryumph
in
heauen
,
lyfe
,
peace
,
euerlasting
saluation
,
blessed
and
heaped
immortalitie
,
with
all
good
thinges
.
Let
vs
still
beare
in
minde
,
the
shortnesse
and
vncertainetie
of
this
lyfe
,
death
in
a
maner
euerye
minute
to
be
looked
for
.
Let
vs
thinke
of
the
last
and
dreadfull
iudgement
,
of
hell
,
the
féends
and
fire
that
shall
neuer
be
extinguished
.
Through
remembraunce
whereof
,
the
vnlawfull
raging
of
our
fleshe
and
lustes
of
the
same
,
maye
be
abated
,
and
for
feare
of
punishment
of
our
wickednesse
,
we
will
kéepe
our selues
in
better
order
.
But
and
if
we
preuaile
nothing
,
through
all
these
remedies
:
if
we
perceiue
our selues
to
profite
little
,
neyther
by
the
earnest
practising
of
the
worde
of
God
,
neyther
by
the
contynuall
company
of
good
and
godlye
men
,
by
often
prayers
made
to
God
,
nor
yet
by
shunning
of
ydlenesse
,
and
auoyding
the
discommodities
,
which
ensue
vpon
the
same
:
If
neyther
by
earnest
industrie
,
and
studie
,
by
honest
labors
,
godly
exercises
and
occupations
:
if
through
much
hunger
,
fasting
and
watching
,
through
sobrietie
and
temperaunce
of
life
:
if
by
thinking
vpon
the
promises
and
threatninges
of
God
,
that
if
eyther
we
ouercome
,
we
shall
haue
euerlasting
ioy
,
or
if
we
be
ouercome
,
we
shall
haue
eternall
payne
,
we
obtayne
nothing
,
we
profite
and
preuayle
nothing
thereby
:
there
resteth
then
the
shoote
anker
,
From
hence
,
But
how
may
we
attaine
to
that
desired
knowledge
,
of
perceyuing
what
maner
of
life
that
euerlasting
life
is
:
which
with
such
vnspeakable
&
vncredible
pleasure
,
draweth
the
minde
to
God
?
and
what
kinde
of
taste
hath
it
among
the
Saintes
,
that
constraynes
the
children
of
God
,
to
haue
such
great
desire
to
attaine
to
heauenly
thinges
,
before
they
be
discharged
of
this
mortall
tabernacle
of
the
bodie
?
I
will
recite
the
wordes
of
Saint
Augustine
which
do
make
this
matter
that
we
séeke
for
maruellous
plaine
vnto
vs
.
If
the
raging
of
the
fleshe
,
(
sayth
he
)
be
at
rest
in
a
man
:
the
imaginations
vpon
the
earth
,
To
this
inestimable
ioy
,
which
this
holy
man
,
most
desirous
of
the
immortalitie
to
come
,
hath
trimly
discribed
in
his
bookes
:
to
this
perpetuall
vacation
after
labour
,
which
shall
bring
such
a
rest
with
it
,
as
is
to
bée
wished
for
,
with
all
prayer
:
To
that
most
blessed
kingdome
of
ioy
,
wherein
dwelleth
both
righteousnesse
&
peace
:
To
the
heauenly
Countrie
,
to
the
felowship
of
Aungels
,
to
the
most
pleasant
companie
of
Saintes
,
in
euerlasting
life
to
come
,
(
by
the
only
meditation
and
remembraunce
whereof
,
wée
conceiue
an
incredible
delight
in
our
mind
,
and
ioyes
pierce
our
secret
breast
.
)
The
very
right
way
therfore
(
in
my
opion
)
doth
he
take
to
the
true
tranquillitie
of
the
minde
,
Since
all
Scripture
preacheth
vnto
vs
,
There
is
no
such
prerogatiue
giuen
to
the
Saintes
,
But
to
comprehende
the
whole
summe
of
the
matter
vnder
one
conclusion
,
He
sendeth
aduersitie
vpon
them
,
Moreouer
,
through
miserie
,
And
as
well
these
priuate
miseryes
and
infelicities
,
Moreouer
,
the
Lord
,
by
causing
his
elect
,
The
elect
doe
know
,
how
Christ
hath
in
euerye
one
of
his
members
,
as
it
were
a
certaine
quantitie
,
and
measure
of
trybulation
,
which
they
must
abyde
:
that
the
members
may
be
made
apt
for
their
head
.
They
are
not
ignoraunt
,
howe
that
saying
of
Saint
Augustine
,
is
most
true
:
The
thing
which
thou
sufferest
,
and
wherfore
thou
mournest
,
is
a
medicine
to
thee
and
not
a
punishment
:
a
chastysing
,
and
not
a
condemning
.
For
euen
as
the
Musitian
strayneth
his
strings
,
and
yet
he
breaketh
none
of
them
,
but
maketh
thereby
a
swéeter
and
better
concorde
:
So
God
,
through
trouble
,
destroyes
not
those
which
be
hys
owne
,
but
makes
them
better
,
and
more
plyable
,
vnto
fruition
of
the
lyfe
to
come
.
And
as
the
Mason
heweth
out
stones
,
which
he
maketh
fitte
for
building
of
his
house
,
graues
them
and
squares
them
,
before
he
laye
and
ioyne
them
to
the
building
:
euen
so
through
affliction
doth
God
turne
,
trye
,
exercise
,
and
prepare
before
hand
,
his
elect
,
with
whome
,
as
with
liuely
stones
,
he
hath
purposed
to
builde
the
habitation
of
God
.
He
siftes
them
,
as
corne
with
a
Fanne
,
winnoes
them
from
the
chaffe
,
and
puttes
them
aside
into
his
Cheste
,
before
he
laye
them
vp
in
his
heauenly
Barne
.
Besides
this
also
,
Besides
these
causes
,
Adde
moreouer
,
Againe
,
I
will
shew
foorth
thy
name
vnto
my
brethren
,
and
in
the
midst
of
the
congregation
will
I
prayse
thee
.
Thence
commeth
it
,
that
they
so
deaseably
performe
the
vow
,
which
they
haue
made
:
as
for
ioy
they
conceyued
,
by
the
sodaine
and
vnexpected
deliueraunce
,
they
vtter
out
that
sentence
so
full
of
exhortation
and
inuttation
of
others
,
to
the
extolling
and
publishing
of
Gods
name
and
his
excéeding
mercie
.
Ye
that
feare
God
(
sayth
the
Prophet
)
prayse
him
.
Glorifie
hym
all
yee
seede
of
Iacob
.
Let
all
the
generations
of
Israell
feare
him
:
for
he
hath
not
shunde
nor
dispisde
the
prayer
of
the
poore
:
Neyther
hath
hee
turned
his
face
from
me
,
but
when
I
cryed
vnto
him
he
heard
me
.
Of
thee
shall
my
song
be
in
the
great
congregation
,
and
my
prayers
will
I
make
in
the
sight
of
them
that
feare
him
.
For
there
is
nothing
that
more
stirres
vp
the
Saints
to
magnifie
God
,
than
when
he
inclines
his
eare
vnto
the
prayers
of
the
poore
destitute
,
and
so
mercifully
beholdes
the
supplication
of
the
afflicted
.
Lastly
:
God
is
wont
to
put
his
elect
,
Let
vs
neuer
ymagine
in
our
owne
opinion
,
Let
vs
follow
the
councell
of
that
holye
Martyr
Cyprian
,
who
instructeth
a
godly
minde
,
There
be
also
certaine
diseases
,
Let
wicked
murmurings
therefore
in
time
of
aduersitie
,
Some
put
their
trust
in
horses
,
and
some
in
Charriots
,
,
but
we
will
call
vpon
the
name
of
the
Lord
our
God.
For
being
in
thys
sort
disposed
in
their
mindes
,
although
they
were
in
as
narrowe
a
straite
,
as
were
the
children
of
Israell
,
and
had
on
their
backe
halfe
cruell
Pharao
,
with
his
mightie
host
,
the
déepe
Sea
before
them
,
and
excéeding
high
mountaines
,
on
eyther
side
:
yet
would
they
not
be
dismayde
with
seare
,
nor
dispayre
,
but
with
a
pertite
pacient
minde
not
once
muttering
,
would
wayte
for
helpe
of
Moses
the
Captaine
of
God
,
almightie
,
according
to
that
saying
:
Be
yee
stable
and
ye
shall
see
the
saluation
of
God
which
he
will
bring
vpon
you
.
The
Lorde
shall
fight
for
you
and
yée
shall
be
still
.
They
which
doe
not
refuse
nor
séeke
to
escape
the
same
state
of
suffering
trouble
and
affliction
,
that
Christ
himselfe
,
the
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
and
holy
Martirs
did
,
nor
require
a
better
condition
of
lyfe
,
than
Iesus
the
verie
head
corner
stone
,
nor
then
the
pillers
of
of
the
Church
,
(
being
the
chosen
Prophets
of
God
and
Apostles
)
did
:
but
doe
so
leane
vnto
God
,
and
quietly
suffer
,
whatsoeuer
his
prouidence
shall
allote
vnto
them
,
as
without
complaining
and
lamenting
,
without
moning
of
their
present
fortune
,
and
without
any
vnlawfull
indeuour
,
eyther
of
trusting
to
themselues
,
or
making
prouision
for
substaunce
,
they
then
expect
and
wayte
onely
for
the
help
of
almightie
God
:
From
such
,
the
Lord
cannot
be
absent
,
but
will
maruellously
delyuer
them
(
and
that
often
)
contrary
to
the
expectation
of
al
men
:
as
it
is
euident
,
not
onely
by
examples
,
but
also
as
it
plainely
appeareth
by
the
booke
of
Psalmes
.
From
hence
floweth
so
sure
a
confidence
in
God
,
From
hence
springeth
out
,
that
wonderfull
pacience
of
the
Saintes
,
who
perceyue
,
that
their
obedience
shall
be
bountifully
rewarded
in
time
to
come
,
and
shall
be
precious
and
well
accepted
in
the
sight
of
the
heauenly
father
,
through
Christ
.
Hereby
,
is
the
whole
minde
possessed
with
God
,
and
strengthned
by
him
:
and
hereby
,
is
the
liuely
hope
of
immortalitie
to
come
,
confirmed
.
God
onely
,
which
is
the
chiefest
,
and
that
one
alone
goodnesse
,
doth
by
the
presence
of
his
comforting
spirite
in
the
tyme
of
trouble
,
so
recreate
and
satistie
with
ioy
,
the
mindes
of
his
elect
,
that
eyther
they
plainly
put
away
all
féele
both
of
iniuries
done
vnto
them
,
of
pouertie
,
of
banishment
,
of
contempt
,
of
infamie
,
of
prisonment
,
of
tormentes
,
and
of
other
miseryes
and
calamities
:
or
at
least
wise
,
beare
them
out
with
an
excellent
courage
.
For
they
desiring
(
as
the
Apostle
did
)
to
be
loosed
,
Madian
,
Moses
:
Phalestine
,
Dauid
,
being
driuen
out
of
Iudea
:
and
Egypt
,
that
receyued
Ioseph
and
Christ
.
There
is
no
place
destitute
of
godly
charitable
men
,
who
not
being
forgetfull
of
that
saying
of
Christ
(
he
that
receyueth
you
receyueth
me
)
desire
to
be
made
pertakers
of
the
Gospell
,
in
helping
of
the
poore
néedle
defenders
therof
,
yea
,
and
reioyce
at
the
present
occasion
offered
,
making
much
of
the
same
:
whose
heartes
the
Lorde
doth
incense
,
to
helpe
,
cherishe
,
and
harbour
,
the
holye
succorlesse
straungers
of
God
.
Wherefore
,
they
take
no
care
for
their
meate
and
drinke
,
Moreouer
,
the
constant
elect
,
are
no
whit
grieued
with
the
long
prosperitie
of
the
wicked
:
whom
they
wishe
rather
to
conuert
and
amende
,
than
for
theyr
obstinate
continuance
in
naughtinesse
,
to
haue
them
iudged
to
the
fire
of
hell
,
and
to
take
theyr
porcion
with
the
Deuill
and
his
Aungels
.
For
such
,
I
haue
taken
vpon
me
now
in
this
whole
discourse
of
true
quietnesse
of
mindes
,
For
by
them
,
the
children
of
Israell
being
beguyled
,
did
sacryfice
their
children
to
Saturne
.
Thereby
,
Aron
erected
the
Caulfe
,
to
the
intent
he
might
kéepe
the
people
in
their
duetie
and
obedience
.
Thereby
the
Iewes
persecuted
the
Apostles
,
supposing
they
did
God
good
seruice
therein
.
Let
vs
beare
away
,
what
happened
to
Vza
for
staying
the
Arke
,
&
to
Saule
for
sauing
king
Agag
and
the
best
cattell
.
Let
vs
not
thinke
,
that
we
ought
to
proue
our
owne
wisedome
,
or
to
followe
the
aduise
of
mans
heart
,
which
is
prone
and
inclyned
to
euill
,
nor
to
doe
that
which
séemeth
good
and
right
in
our
owne
eyes
:
but
let
vs
doe
that
,
which
the
Lorde
our
God
hath
willed
and
commaunded
vs
to
doe
:
whose
voyce
when
we
here
,
let
vs
not
harden
our
harts
,
but
in
hearing
the
same
,
to
declare
our
true
obedience
,
which
the
Lorde
hath
alwaye
preferred
aboue
oblation
and
sacrifice
.
Let
vs
neuer
so
long
as
we
haue
breath
and
lyfe
within
vs
,
consent
to
the
intisements
of
the
world
,
to
the
suggestion
of
Sathan
,
or
to
the
desires
of
the
fleshe
:
nor
suffer
our selues
,
through
their
iolly
flatteries
,
to
be
inchaunted
and
ouercome
,
as
it
were
wyth
the
swéete
tune
of
the
Marmayde
:
or
to
rest
(
as
séemeth
to
the
vngracious
)
in
the
pleasaunt
slumber
of
sinne
.
But
let
vs
withstand
them
,
with
all
our
force
&
might
,
determining
to
make
continuall
warre
wyth
those
thrée
most
cruell
aduersaries
▪
Let
vs
call
to
remembrance
,
that
God
is
〈◊〉
sanctification
:
and
by
lyuing
well
,
let
vs
trie
whyther
we
haue
the
testimonie
of
a
good
conscience
:
and
not
onely
to
laye
holde
of
the
liuely
hope
of
our
saluation
,
but
euery
day
also
,
to
increase
the
same
more
&
more
.
Let
vs
knowledge
and
confesse
,
that
the
most
true
worde
of
God
,
(
which
is
the
onlye
comfort
of
our
soules
,
