Heauenly

by

RIGHT
HONOVRABLE
,
RIGHT
WORSHIPFVLL
:
SIx
diuided
equallie
to
two
,
is
three
,
or
three
to
either
.
Three
is
all
,
so
many
to
euerie
one
,
no
lesse
to
any
.
A
man
is
either
of
God
by
regeneration
,
liuing
in
goodnesse
,
going
to
heauen
;
or
of
the
diuell
by
corruption
,
practising
wickednesse
,
and
running
headlong
to
hell
.
Two
generations
,
the
heauenlie
race
or
the
Serpents
seed
:
two
Regiments
,
some
slaues
by
sin
to
Satans
controulement
;
some
in
voluntarie
subiection
by
grace
to
Gods
gouernement
:
two
places
to
goe
vnto
,
the
infernall
bottomlesse
pit
,
or
the
celestiall
endlesse
paradise
.
There
is
but
one
Conductour
,
God
in
the
spirituall
brightnesse
;
but
one
seducer
principall
,
the
diuell
in
spirituall
darkenesse
.
One
onelie
true
Religion
,
the
rest
Idolatrie
and
Superstition
.
There
are
no
men
Miscellane
,
one
betweene
two
of
either
,
and
yet
neither
.
There
is
no
meane
or
third
place
betwixt
Hell
below
and
Heauen
one
high
.
The
Pope
with
his
Priests
may
teach
a
Purgatorie
,
to
picke
the
purses
of
foolish
Papists
:
but
beleeue
them
those
that
list
,
the
word
yeelds
no
such
warrant
,
to
cause
a
iudicious
and
sound
Protestant
to
feare
or
force
of
it
.
Yet
is
there
one
,
an
ill
meane
among
men
,
that
loathed
creature
,
that
Luke-warme
Gospeller
:
a
time
seruer
professing
after
his
pleasure
,
as
may
stand
with
his
profit
:
this
is
the
Miscellane
man
.
But
is
hee
good
?
then
of
God
;
then
goe
such
to
heauen
:
but
God
saith
hee
will
spue
them
(
a
tearme
of
loathing
)
out
of
his
mouth
:
if
bad
,
then
of
the
Diuell
,
and
so
belong
to
Hell
.
Three
and
three
then
,
God
,
Goodnesse
,
Heauen
:
the
Diuell
,
Badnesse
,
Hell
;
my
subiect
matter
empinfolds
all
:
none
not
within
the
compasse
of
these
.
God
either
guides
men
by
his
holie
spirit
,
settles
them
in
grace
,
and
rewards
them
in
heauen
with
infinite
glorie
:
or
the
diuell
beareth
swaie
in
their
hearts
and
holds
them
in
wickednesse
,
for
which
in
hell
they
receiue
wages
due
,
euen
vnspeakable
miserie
.
Heere
therefore
(
RIGHT
HONOVRABLE
,
RIGHT
WORSHIPFVLL
,
)
of
all
these
are
certaine
pictures
,
not
Popish
and
sensible
for
superstition
;
but
mentall
for
Diuine
contemplation
;
whereto
are
added
wholesome
Precepts
for
direction
after
godlie
meditation
.
Gods
Picture
,
to
behold
him
,
that
is
so
good
;
to
admire
his
excellencie
,
to
feare
his
Maiestie
,
to
praise
his
bountie
.
The
Diuels
portraiture
,
that
he
may
be
seene
,
that
is
so
euill
,
to
wonder
at
his
wickednesse
,
to
loath
his
vilenesse
,
to
detest
his
wretchednesse
,
and
to
beware
of
his
deceitfulnesse
.
Good
is
set
forth
,
to
behold
the
comelie
beautie
of
celestiall
grace
,
to
embrace
it
with
loue
.
Badnesse
is
discouered
,
that
the
vglie
morphew
of
sinne
may
be
seene
,
to
abhorre
it
.
Heauen
is
described
to
worke
ioy
in
wel-doing
by
considering
so
great
a
reward
of
happinesse
and
that
eternally
.
Hell
is
deciphered
to
restraine
from
sinne
,
by
fearing
the
recompence
of
vengeance
in
internall
torments
euerlastingly
.
He
that
doth
good
,
may
turne
and
read
of
God
,
his
blessed
guide
;
and
of
heauen
,
how
in
the
end
he
shall
bee
in
felicitie
.
He
that
doth
euill
,
may
read
of
the
diuell
,
his
accursed
leader
;
and
of
hell
,
and
behold
his
future
and
dreadfull
miserie
.
This
is
the
practicall
vse
of
these
pictures
.
Right
Noble
Lord
;
Still
let
the
honouring
of
the
gospell
,
and
hatred
of
Poperie
praise
your
zeale
:
this
is
of
God
.
Let
still
your
speedie
execution
of
iustice
make
renowned
your
seat
of
equitie
:
this
is
goodnesse
.
Your
Honours
loue
to
the
truth
and
regard
of
the
ministrie
is
not
vnknowne
:
your
godly
hate
of
Antichristianisme
is
no
lesse
manifest
;
and
is
not
a
care
in
iust
proceeding
betweene
these
two
words
,
mine
and
thine
,
commended
?
These
giue
sure
hope
by
Christ
of
heauen
.
My
praier
is
for
your
Honours
constant
footing
in
this
happie
path
.
Indeede
the
way
of
wel-doing
is
strait
,
and
as
narrow
as
strait
:
hard
to
enter
,
and
as
difficult
to
endure
therein
:
whereunto
is
required
the
wisdome
of
a
Serpent
,
and
a
Doues
innocency
.
Godlie
sinceritie
now
adaies
with
Achitophels
is
held
an
affection
from
follie
:
iust
and
resolute
dealing
,
but
a
desperate
attempt
.
The
dislike
of
Lukewarmenesse
,
and
hate
of
a
false
religion
with
Machiauellian
Time-seruers
is
iudged
but
a
passionate
rashnesse
,
the
heat
of
a
spirit
apt
to
Sedition
.
What
if
this
be
the
wicked
mans
censure
?
What
if
the
world
,
the
Schoole
of
Satans
policie
,
do
thus
condemne
true
Christianitie
?
Must
noble
spirits
set
vp
to
aduance
pietie
,
yeeld
to
such
hellish
Hags
,
and
become
slauish
to
the
froth
of
vanitie
?
A
true
childe
of
the
Church
instructed
in
the
Schoole
of
Christ
,
can
not
endure
it
:
his
high
spirit
,
eleuated
beyond
the
low
pitch
of
corrupt
reason
in
confederacie
with
flesh
and
blood
,
possiblie
cannot
so
debase
it selfe
.
This
were
to
separate
wisdome
and
innocencie
:
to
leaue
religious
sinceritie
,
and
to
take
vp
other
godlesse
mens
impietie
.
Hee
that
can
put
in
practise
our
Sauiours
lesson
,
to
be
as
wise
as
a
Serpent
,
and
as
harmlesse
as
a
Doue
,
he
may
doe
well
.
Together
are
they
good
;
it
is
not
seasonable
to
be
in
act
,
while
they
bee
asunder
.
The
first
alone
is
but
diuellish
deceitfulnesse
:
the
latter
,
by
it selfe
,
is
but
a
good
meaning
sillinesse
:
Hee
that
conioines
them
rightlie
,
seekes
his
owne
safetie
.
Conscience
will
plead
for
innocencie
,
God
will
defend
it
:
and
prudent
practise
keeps
an
estate
good
,
maugre
the
enemies
malice
.
Where
these
two
like
to
lodge
and
harbour
in
one
heart
,
that
,
as
rare
,
as
excellent
a
person
,
may
liue
within
himselfe
comfortably
,
among
men
peaceably
,
and
in
the
end
die
ioyfully
:
my
vnfeined
wish
to
your
Honour
and
to
all
that
walke
with
God
vprightlie
.
Right
honourable
Lady
,
Right
Worshipful
and
Honourable
ofspring
:
My
attempt
may
seeme
a
wonder
;
but
the
conceit
of
the
wonderment
ceaseth
where
iudgement
searcheth
out
the
cause
,
&
prudence
doth
guid
wisdom
to
weigh
the
circumstance
.
A
Lady
is
Honored
in
her
Lord
,
children
are
dignified
in
the
due
fame
,
and
high
promotion
of
their
parents
.
The
first
are
vnited
by
Gods
ordinance
,
the
latter
by
natures
influence
.
Whom
God
then
and
nature
hath
cemented
,
I
,
in
my
due
honoring
of
al
,
presume
to
conioine
.
Right
Honourable
Madame
,
and
to
you
Ladies
,
I
wish
all
welfare
vnder
God
,
on
earth
true
goodnes
,
in
heauen
enduring
gladnes
;
a
time
to
read
good
things
,
but
all
times
to
practise
,
commending
to
your
heartie
assent
this
memorandum
:
Women
are
but
weake
,
their
strength
is
to
bee
vnder
gouernment
,
excellent
praise
is
gotten
by
their
wise
silence
,
but
their
principall
glory
stands
in
their
awe
,
and
cheerefull
obedience
.
This
perhaps
may
not
seeme
a
plausible
sentence
to
your
Sexe
;
but
(
good
Ladies
)
he
cannot
flatter
,
that
indeede
doth
giue
you
true
Honour
.
I
present
your
Honours
,
your
Worships
,
with
these
speciall
meditations
,
the
first
part
of
my
Pictures
and
Precepts
.
Tho
I
bee
troubled
with
controuersies
and
called
into
such
matters
of
contention
;
yet
intermix
I
my
studie
sometime
with
these
better
motions
.
I
finde
that
Questions
curiously
contriued
doe
more
exercise
wit
,
to
informe
iudgement
,
then
to
make
the
heart
deuout
in
our
pilgrimage
and
this
earthly
exilement
.
By
troublesome
disputations
men
get
knowledge
to
approue
of
good
,
but
by
quiet
meditations
men
grow
to
more
conscience
in
their
waies
,
and
do
increase
in
grace
.
Hence
is
my
interchange
,
and
a
cause
of
some
stay
of
my
answer
both
to
Master
Ainsworth
the
Separatist
,
and
to
Master
Smith
that
Anabaptisticall
Se-Baptist
:
but
now
the
time
wil
not
be
long
,
ere
I
publish
my
replie
.
This
present
labour
,
in
the
view
of
words
,
may
seeme
but
litle
,
but
the
weight
of
the
matter
rightly
valued
makes
it
more
.
The
heads
here
handled
are
but
few
,
yet
comprehend
much
:
the
words
not
many
;
I
haue
studied
breuity
:
It
is
irkesome
to
be
tedious
,
it
is
delightsom
to
be
short
and
perspicuous
.
It
is
(
Right
Honourable
,
Right
Worshipfull
)
what
it
is
,
euen
my
good
meaning
,
my
first
and
best
endeauour
in
this
kind
;
whatsoeuer
it
bee
,
be
it
not
,
as
it
should
be
,
my
will
yet
wisheth
it
to
bee
well
,
and
my
thankfull
heart
offers
it
vp
with
all
due
respect
vnto
●ou
,
and
craues
your
honourable
and
worshipful
acceptances
●f
the
same
.
If
I
haue
offended
by
tendering
so
small
a
worke
,
●o
so
great
and
worthy
Personages
,
I
begge
pardon
for
my
●oldnesse
:
and
so
praying
for
●our
euer-prosperous
estate
and
true
happinesse
,
I
humbly
take
my
leaue
.

Your

RICHARD
BERNARD
THE
PICTVRE
of
GOD
.
GOD
is
by
contraction
good
,
the
prime
cause
of
all
his
creatuers
:
Onely
one
,
one
alone
.
Incomprehensible
,
infinite
,
inuisible
.
A
substance
without
composition
,
action
without
motion
.
A
being
spiritual
,
of
himselfe
eternall
:
before
time
,
in
time
,
and
beyond
altime
:
without
beginning
,
without
ending
,
the
Alpha
of
euery
thing
,
the
Omega
of
althings
:
the
first
,
&
the
last
:
without
terme
of
time
.
He
is
that
kingly
regencie
,
that
lordly
Souerainity
.
He
doeth
giue
to
all
life
,
motion
,
action
;
he
bestoweth
the
qualitie
and
encreaseth
the
quantitie
:
yet
is
he
good
without
qualitie
,
and
great
without
quantitie
.
Hee
is
the
beeing
&
beauty
of
his
creature
.
Hee
made
euery
thing
good
,
&
stil
from
him
flowes
goodnesse
;
bodies
blisse
,
soules
safety
,
goods
,
preseruation
,
and
grace
.
He
is
Supereminent
aboue
all
,
Superexcellent
beyond
all
,
abundant
in
loue
to
all
,
and
absolutely
in
perfect
happinesse
without
all
.
He
is
the
highest
in
maiestie
,
the
greatest
in
glorie
,
the
largest
in
magnificencie
,
the
powerfullest
in
omnipotencie
,
and
the
euer
onely
best
in
vnspeakeable
bounty
.
Without
him
nothing
auaileable
,
with
him
all
things
possible
,
without
,
besides
,
and
against
means
.
He
is
present
euery
where
,
without
circumscription
of
place
,
neither
included
heere
,
nor
excluded
there
▪
hee
fils
what
is
emptie
,
sustaineth
what
is
weake
,
directs
what
is
not
right
,
gouerns
what
is
instable
,
and
perfects
whatsoeuer
is
i●
defect
.
Heauen
is
hiS
throne
the
firmament
hiS
pauilion
,
Paradise
his
palace
,
the
earth
his
theate●
Angels
are
his
attendants
the
Princes
of
his
armie
;
al
creatures
his
host
.
Th●
azioured
skie
his
comely
curtaine
,
his
priuie
chamber
,
the
place
of
vnspeakeable
pleasure
.
His
face
is
a
flame
of
fire
,
his
voice
thunder
,
his
wrath
,
dread
,
&
terrible
horrour
.
If
he
meete
his
enemies
,
he
rides
vpon
the
wings
of
the
winde
,
his
chariots
are
without
number
:
he
raineth
vpon
them
snares
to
entrap
them
,
fire
●o
deuoure
them
,
hailestones
to
kill
them
;
hee
sends
a
smoake
to
smother
them
,
a
stormy
tempest
to
terrifie
them
,
the
stincke
of
brimstone
to
annoy
them
,
and
hote
thunderbolts
to
shoote
them
thorow
.
He
is
the
Landlord
to
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth
;
they
are
his
Tenants
,
the
best
but
his
Stewards
,
the
mightiest
of
his
making
.
He
preserueth
by
his
power
,
ruleth
by
his
prouidence
;
he
hath
in
his
hand
a
Scepter
of
iron
,
and
doth
raigne
as
hee
list
,
ouer
him
that
seemeth
to
outrage
the
most
.
Satan
is
but
his
slaue
,
though
hee
rule
ouer
faithlesse
Princes
and
Peeres
.
The
loftiest
creature
,
the
highest
man
in
Souereigntie
,
is
but
his
footstoole
,
and
hardly
a
shadow
of
his
glistering
glory
,
&
glorious
eminency
.
Hee
foreseeth
euery
thing
before
it
be
,
wisely
ordereth
al
things
that
are
,
and
preordeineth
all
certainely
what
shall
be
.
There
is
no
preuenting
of
his
wil
,
no
gain
saying
of
his
good
plesure
:
his
power
manageth
his
wil
vnresistably
;
his
wil
is
the
rule
of
righteousnesse
vnchangeably
:
he
maketh
euery
thing
to
bow
at
his
becke
:
he
altereth
the
order
of
nature
,
&
changeth
the
course
of
times
.
He
can
span
heauen
with
his
hand
,
sound
the
depth
of
the
Ocean
seas
,
make
the
earth
tremble
at
his
prescence
.
Something
he
can
make
of
nothing
,
&
the
least
something
is
hee
able
to
multiply
into
in
.
numerable
many
things
.
He
is
admirable
in
his
preseruation
,
and
wonderfull
in
the
creation
:
By
subduction
of
his
infinitnesse
,
hee
left
an
inanity
of
substance
,
forme
,
and
force
;
so
prepared
he
vnspeakeably
an
emptines
to
frame
&
place
his
creatures
:
by
reduction
of
himself
againe
innarrably
he
made
a
kind
of
fulnesse
,
and
caused
that
sensibly
to
be
seene
,
what
neuer
had
being
of
any
thing
before
.
All
his
works
liuely
demonstrate
him
;
his
word
truely
reueales
him
:
yet
no
mortall
eye
can
see
him
,
nor
any
wit
conceiue
him
.
Hee
is
mercy
,
hee
is
iustice
,
a
fire
burning
,
and
yet
not
hastily
consuming
.
He
is
al
presence
,
his
nameis
,
I
am
,
nothing
past
with
him
,
nor
to
come
which
is
not
in
sight
.
Infinitenesse
it selfe
is
his
compasse
,
for
time
and
place
.
His
iustice
is
without
partiality
,
he
iudgeth
euer
righteously
,
and
punisheth
only
offenders
,
and
that
deseruedly
.
His
pleasure
is
absolute
in
himselfe
;
what
he
delighteth
in
,
without
himselfe
,
is
for
that
,
which
is
onely
from
himselfe
.
To
conclude
an
endlesse
matter
without
conclusion
;
He
is
mercisull
without
measure
,
pitifull
in
great
compassion
,
but
without
any
passion
.
Hee
is
repentant
without
sorrow
,
he
maketh
a
change
in
his
action
,
but
is
neuer
alterable
in
his
person
.
Hee
is
himselfe
holinesse
,
the
very
fountaine
of
all
goodnesse
,
:
nothing
euill
from
him
,
nothing
euil
by
him
.
He
before
wils
all
things
,
which
he
causeth
to
be
,
and
maketh
also
that
good
which
hee
willeth
to
bee
.
Hee
is
maiestie
,
hee
is
mercy
,
he
is
excellency
,
he
is
glory
,
he
is
power
,
he
is
principality
,
hee
is
grace
and
goodnes
,
life
and
happinesse
.
All
these
,
in
,
and
from
himselfe
,
in
all
perfection
,
beyond
imagination
,
without
limitation
,
endlesse
.
To
him
be
praise
perpetually
.
So
be
it
.
Precepts

FEare
this
God
,
beleeue
him
to
bee
,
know
him
rightly
,
behold
him
inuisibly
,
conceiue
him
without
Idolatry

Remember
euer
his

consider
his
powerfull
prouidence

Thou
art
of
him

thou
art

thou

Seeke

Loue

The
Picture

the
holy
Trinity
.
GOD
,
the
true
God
,
is
but
one
in
vnity
,
yet
three
in
Trinity
:
One
in
substance
without
diuision
,
three
in
person
by
distinction
,
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
.
In
order
,
one
afore
and
after
an
other
:
but
essentially
,
all
coequall
,
coeternall
together
.
Al
God
,
not
three
Gods
,
yet
euer
three
persons
,
neuer
the
same
in
propriety
&
maner
of
working
Heere
is
admiration
,
but
no
demonstration
.
This
Catholik
and
Christian
verity
is
an
innarrable
mystery
.
Precepts
.
BEleeue
this
,
the
word
teacheth
it
;
but
corrupt
reason
is
against
it
.
Beware
of
curious
searching
,
it
is
a
matter
vnsearchable
.
Stand
not
vpon
this
to
know
how
it
may
bee
▪
subiect
thy
reason
to
faith
in
sobriety
.
It
is
a
godly
ignorance
,
in
that
to
be
vnskilfull
,
which
the
Scripture
concealeth
.
Hee
that
suffers
herein
his
reason
to
wade
farther
than
faith
,
may
lose
his
reason
and
beliefe
,
his
Christianitie
for
infidelity
.
Presume
not
(
man
)
in
this
matter
aboue
that
which
is
written
.
This
is
a
deep
mystery
,
this
doctrine
of
the
Deity
,
the
inscrutable
point
in
Diuinity
.
The
Lord
giue
thee
true
wisedome

The
Picture
of
the
Father
.
IN
the
vnity
,
the
Father
is
the
first
in
the
Trinity
.
He
is
not
begotten
,
but
from
euerlasting
begetteth
the
Son
,
of
his
whole
substance
.
He
made
all
things
by
the
Sonne
,
through
the
holie
Ghost
.
What
he
willed
hee
made
good
,
and
all
of
nothing
by
his
word
.
This
gracious
father
of
his
mere
mercie
,
hath
chosen
many
,
without
their
merite
.
He
calles
his
ere
they
come
;
&
when
they
come
,
hee
confirmes
their
faith
.
He
knows
them
before
they
bee
,
and
makes
them
friends
by
grace
of
deadly
foes
by
nature
;
of
Sathans
slaues
,
his
faithfull
Seruants
;
of
Seruants
,
deare
Sonnes
,
children
adopted
,
yea
kings
,
priests
and
Coheires
with
Christ
.
He
careth
for
his
children
,
when
he
mostcasts
then
down
:
He
can
allow
them
their
godly
will
,
but
he
permits
them
not
to
be
wanton
:
when
they
do
offend
,
hee
will
fatherly
forewarn
;
if
they
repent
,
he
will
not
punish
.
He
is
full
of
commiseration
,
he
doth
speedily
pardon
the
Penitent
,
and
withall
sheweth
great
gladnesse
to
doe
them
good
.
He
doth
send
them
his
spirit
,
to
assure
them
of
peace
,
&
freely
promiseth
to
bestow
on
them
grace
,
either
to
preuent
their
fal
,
or
to
pardon
their
fault
.
Though
we
be
neither
worthy
of
beeing
,
nor
breath
,
and
deserue
nothing
,
yet
he
affoords
vs
his
blessing
,
and
giueth
needfully
anything
.
Earthly
Fathers
are
such
,
as
they
be
,
for
a
season
,
but
this
Heauenly
Father
is
so
for
euerlasting
.
He
forbeareth
with
patience
,
and
keepes
his
in
eternal
remembrance
.
He
hateth
neuer
,
where
hee
loueth
euer
.
Bountifull
hee
is
in
his
blessings
,
largious
in
his
liberality
,
full
graciously
fauourable
,
&
without
end
in
goodnesse
.
Hee
is
strict
,
but
not
extreame
in
iustice
:
Hee
calleth
man
to
make
satisfaction
vpon
paine
of
destruction
:
yet
if
man
can
make
no
payment
,
his
mercy
hath
ordained
meanes
to
discharge
the
debt
.
Ere
sinfull
man
do
die
,
his
sinlesse
Son
must
suffer
death
.
Wrath
must
not
reward
vs
,
his
great
goodnesse
will
needs
haue
vs
guiltlesse
.
Is
not
his
loue
enlarged
towards
vs
vnspeakably
?
doth
he
not
purchase
vs
peace
with
the
price
of
bloud
?
He
giueth
an
obedient
Sonne
,
for
a
rebellious
Sinner
:
Wrathfull
displeasure
must
sease
vpon
Gods
naturall
Sonne
and
an
innocent
,
that
pity
may
be
shewed
to
adopted
children
,
to
escape
torment
.
The
euer
worthily
beloued
must
vndergoe
paines
of
Hel
,
to
make
for
the
vnworthie
of
loue
,
free
passage
to
Heauen
.
See
(
Sinner
)
see
the
incrediblenesse
of
so
great
grace
:
Stand
(
thou
Sinner
)
amazed
,
at
this
wonderment
of
good
.
O
matchlesse
mercy
!
Did
euer
a
Father
satisfie
his
wrath
vpon
his
dearest
son
,
to
appease
his
anger
towards
his
deadly
foe
?
did
euer
a
louing
Father
put
his
darling
to
death
,
to
preuent
from
his
enimy
the
force
of
his
wrath
?
We
see
it
not
,
stories
record
it
not
,
nature
suffers
it
not
.
Yet
this
father
killeth
his
best
Sonne
,
to
kisse
his
worst
creature
;
forsaketh
the
Gracious
,
for
a
time
,
to
receiue
the
Gracelesse
to
mercy
,
for
euer
.
Precepts
.
OH
therefore
let
vs
euer
loue
and
praise
the
Lord
this
heauenlie
Father
for
his
goodnes
:
Oh
let
vs
not
cease
to
declare
the
wonders
which
he
doth
for
vs
the
children
of
men
!
Amen
.
The
Picture
of
the
Sonne
.
THe
Son
is
the
second
person
in
the
Trinity
,
the
Fathers
naturall
Son
begotten
from
eternity
,
the
Image
and
substance
of
his
Father
without
inequality
.
From
the
father
,
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
hee
worketh
together
with
the
Father
in
all
things
:
he
is
God
,
he
is
man
,
perfect
in
both
natures
.
He
hath
a
Father
,
he
hath
a
mother
,
euen
both
truely
;
&
also
no
father
,
nor
mother
but
respectiuely
.
He
is
mā-God
,
&
God-man
;
yet
not
two
persons
,
but
onely
one
Christ
:
One
not
by
conuersion
,
but
by
assumption
;
not
by
confusion
of
substance
,
but
by
vnity
of
person
.
This
is
the
seed
promised
;
the
prophet
foretold
the
prince
of
peace
.
This
is
Melchisedech
,
the
priest
of
the
high
God
,
the
king
of
Salem
,
the
Iewes
Messiah
,
the
Christians
Sauiour
.
This
is
he
that
wil
summon
all
to
appear
,
&
giue
true
iudgement
vpon
al
,
both
quik
&
dead
in
the
last
day
▪
Satan
here
he
vanquished
subdued
the
flesh
&
conquered
the
world
.
He
hath
mitigated
Gods
wrath
,
performed
our
work
:
iustice
is
satisfied
,
the
law
fulfilled
.
Hee
hath
made
an
attonement
,
obtained
mercy
,
&
freed
vs
from
punishment
.
The
father
of
his
mercy
gaue
him
for
vs
,
&
hee
in
loue
bestowed
himself
of
vs
.
The
father
did
wil
our
peace
,
&
hee
spared
no
paines
.
Hee
came
into
the
world
poore
,
to
make
vs
ritch
.
Hee
was
to
the
wicked
a
derision
,
that
wee
with
Angels
might
bee
had
in
admiration
.
He
was
blasphemed
,
to
make
vs
blessed
;
buffeted
and
scorned
,
to
make
vs
secure
in
true
comfort
.
He
wrought
righteousnesse
,
that
wee
might
bee
free
of
wickednesse
:
Hee
was
innocent
,
to
procure
vs
pard
on
being
penitent
.
His
holinesse
is
our
happinesse
,
his
suffering
our
safety
,
his
grace
our
good
.
Hee
was
heere
in
trouble
for
vs
,
his
life
paineful
and
miserable
,
so
his
end
for
vs
dolefull
,
and
his
torments
intollerable
.
In
all
his
life
,
that
wee
read
of
,
hee
did
neuer
laugh
;
but
often
lament
:
Hee
mourned
to
see
mens
madnesse
,
and
wept
for
their
wo.
Here
he
sighed
sore
to
make
vs
sing
,
hee
sobd
and
sorrowed
much
to
make
vs
merrie
.
Hee
bare
vpon
him
vnutterable
torment
patiently
,
that
wee
might
auoid
the
plagues
of
God
eternally
.
His
prayers
were
loud
cries
and
strong
,
to
make
our
praiers
to
pierce
the
Heauens
.
He
sweat
drops
of
bloud
to
purge
and
sweeten
vs
vnto
our
God
:
hee
cried
with
bitter
torment
vpon
the
crosse
,
to
saue
his
seruants
from
the
dreadfull
curse
.
He
did
die
as
a
malefactor
,
to
become
to
euery
beleeuer
a
benesactour
.
Euil
did
he
none
,
wee
are
the
offenders
;
Heauen
is
his
desert
,
Hell
ours
deserued
:
wee
haue
merited
damnation
,
and
he
purchast
for
vs
saluation
.
Wee
were
bound
to
the
Law
,
we
were
vnder
the
curse
,
in
danger
of
death
,
and
subiect
to
wrath
:
but
hee
hath
sent
vs
his
Gospel
,
preched
peace
,
promised
pardon
,
and
obtained
grace
.
If
the
law
would
condemne
vs
,
hee
hath
fulfilled
it
for
vs
;
his
works
preuent
wrath
,
his
crosse
,
the
curse
.
Conscience
by
the
law
would
accuse
,
the
Gospell
by
grace
will
quiet
it
and
acquite
vs
.
If
iustice
demand
her
due
,
his
paines
were
our
full
paiment

Hee
is
the
waie
for
vs

Hee
is

trueth

beleeue
him
.
Hee

in
him

By
him
and
through
him
all
our
wants
are
suplied
,
and
all
grace
and
goodnes
obtained
.
Are
we
in
corruption
?
His
purity
purgeth
vs

Are
we
disobedient
?
Hee
was
most
obedient
.
Are
we
subiect

wrath
?

None

The
Picture
of
the
Diuell
.
HEe
is
that
damned
Ghost
,
the
first
siner
,
the
first
Seducer
:
One
knowing
much
,
yet
neuer
obedient
,
but
by
constraint
.
Hee
is
but
a
Slaue
,
as
base
,
as
he
is
beggerly
:
as
malicious
,
as
cursedly
mischieuous
.
Blasphemously
careles
of
God
,
tyrannously
cruell
to
men
.
A
continual
Tempter
,
Gods
gaoler
,
a
dreadfull
tormentor
.
Euer
is
he
out
with
God
,
and
a
hater
of
the
good
.
What
God
commands
,
hee
condemnes
;
hee
will
allow
,
what
God
dislikes
.
A
bright
Angell
,
hee
was
in
heauen
;
but
now
the
black
Fiend
in
hell
.
To
no
man
a
friend
,
to
the
Church
a
most
malicious
foe
.
He
is
driuen
out
of
the
penitent
,
he
harbours
in
the
disobedient
▪
The
leaud
are
his
lodging
the
prophane
his
habitation
.
Hee
is
the
vncleane
spirit
,
the
place
most
full
of
abomination
,
is
his
common
harbour
.
All
his
motions
,
are
to
satisfie
lust
,
he
would
haue
vs
liue
after
our
liking
,
to
worke
wickednesse
,
to
rage
in
rebellion
against
God
.
He
knows
himselfe
to
be
damned
;
all
he
cares
for
,
is
to
make
other
like
himselfe
.
This
cursed
spirit
,
is
that
Lion
roaring
,
strong
,
fearefull
:
that
old
Serpent
,
subtil
,
guilfull
:
that
red
Dragon
,
bloodie
,
terrible
.
Hee
raigneth
where
hee
gets
any
rule
,
and
whom
hee
gaineth
,
those
willingly
hee
will
not
let
goe
.
Antichrist
is
his
eldest
sonne
,
the
damned
crue
his
cursed
children
.
He
is
the
inuent
our
of
all
villanie
,
the
authour
of
heresie
,
the
setter
vp
of
idolatrie
,
the
plotter
of
conspiracie
.
He
raiseth
rebellion
,
and
workes
treason
.
Hee
turnes
religion
into
superstition
,
loue
into
lecherie
,
friends
into
foes
,
consent
into
contention
,
peace
into
bloody
persecution
.
Hee
comes
where
the
godly
bee
and
good
excercises
,
not
for
loue
to
them
,
but
maliciously
as
an
instrument
to
hinder
them
.
He
will
send
Caine
to
sacrifice
with
Abel
,
but
afterwards
to
murther
him
:
He
will
thrust
Iudas
among
the
Apostles
,
but
to
betray
Christ
.
He
is
equallie
enuious
,
as
malicious
:
If
Christ
plant
a
Church
,
he
will
erect
a
Chapell
;
if
hee
haue
Apostles
,
this
will
raise
vp
false
teachers
;
If
Christ
sow
wheat
,
hee
will
scatter
tares
.
He
deceiued
Eue
,
which
brought
a
curse
to
the
earth
:
Hee
prouoked
Dauid
,
to
fall
to
numbring
,
that
the
people
might
be
plagued
.
Hee
is
that
grand
Lier
,
that
shamlesse
Slanderer
:
He
is
as
impudent
,
as
irrepentant
.
He
tempted
Christ
himselfe
impotunately
,
hee
vexeth
his
members
,
and
that
daily
.
He
is
ful
of
faire
words
,
hee
makes
many
promises
,
but
doth
neuer
performe
what
is
good
.
He
is
a
Machiauellian
,
when
hee
pretendeth
most
to
doe
well
,
then
hee
intendeth
most
mischiefe
,
and
to
doe
ill
▪
Hee
keepes
men
in
ignorance
,
and
perswades
them
of
faith
;
hee
puts
them
in
hope
of
saluation
,
and
yet
disswades
from
the
grace
of
sanctification
.
Hee
would
haue
the
wickedly
disposed
to
presume
of
mercy
,
and
the
godly
penitent
to
despaire
in
apprehension
of
iustice
.
Hee
induceth
his
to
beleeue
,
that
good
meaning
without
the
word
,
is
warrant
enough
in
Gods
worship
,
and
blind
deuotion
,
to
bee
a
great
growth
in
religion
.
He
commends
wickednesse
with
titles
of
goodnesse
:
He
puts
a
faire
vizour
ouer
the
vglie
face
of
sinne
.
Excessiue
pride
must
be
cleanely
decency
;
no
pompe
.
Filthy
lust
,
but
a
tricke
of
youth
;
no
carnality
.
Bad
companie
,
with
pot-mates
,
good
fellowship
;
no
vanitie
.
Couetousnesse
in
the
Nigard
,
thrifty
husbandrie
;
no
sordid
qualitie
.
Prodigall
expences
frankheartednes
;
no
vnthriftinesse
.
Intemperatenes
in
meetings
,
neighbourly
meriments
;
no
gluttonie
,
nor
drunkennesse
:
Riot
,
recreation
;
idle
musing
,
contemplation
.
Thus
hee
blindeth
him
that
cares
not
to
see
sinne
,
that
so
a
man
may
bee
secure
,
in
hastning
to
hell
.
Hee
that
is
most
in
transgression
,
is
his
bestsonne
;
yet
is
the
greatest
sinner
,
his
basest
Slaue
.
Who
so
doth
most
for
him
,
shall
in
the
end
,
bee
most
tormented
by
him
.
God
commands
his
children
for
their
owne
saluation
;
but
Satan
his
seruants
,
to
bring
them
to
confusion
.
All
his
are
either
carnall
Atheistes
,
grosse
Idolaters
,
Hypocriticall
Time-seruers
;
foolishly
superstitious
,
damnably
mischieuous
,
proud
Heretikes
,
or
idle
headed
Schismatiks
.
Hee
will
allow
some
of
his
to
bee
of
the
visible
Church
,
yet
onely
a
Came
,
an
Achitophel
,
a
Saul
,
a
Iudas
,
without
inuisible
grace
.
Hee
wil
giue
them
leaue
to
professe
,
but
not
to
practise
.
He
lets
them
know
verity
,
but
not
acknowledge
it
with
sincerity
;
their
seruice
is
only
fashion
.
Hypocrits
are
his
Saints
,
custome
his
Canon
,
Sophistrie
his
reason
.
His
kingdome
is
darknesse
;
Schismatikes
,
his
zealous
seruants
;
Heretikes
,
his
chiefe
Champions
.
His
company
the
accursed
,
the
prophane
his
principall
attendants
,
next
to
the
Fiends
,
the
hellish
inhabitants
.
The
reward
to
his
,
wrath
from
God
;
seclusion
from
the
good
.
The
place
for
their
abode
,
is
the
infernall
pit
,
there
to
bee
tortured
in
torment
,
and
plagued
with
erernall
paines
without
end
.
Precepts
.
OH
wretched
sinner
,
seeke
peace
to
thy
poore
soule
:
seale
not
vp
thy
damnation
,
by
doing
seruice
to
this
Diuell
.
Stop
thy
eares
,
heare
him
not
:
if
thou
doest
,
beleeue
him
not
.
Wherein
he
most
seemeth
a
Saint
,
therein
hold
him
a
most
accursed
creature
.
Tho
his
promises
pretend
peace
and
saluation
,
yet
euer
in
his
reasoning
,
denie
his
conclusion
.
Make
no
peraduenture
of
the
word
;
if
thou
doest
,
hee
will
forthwith
contradict
the
truth
.
If
thou
be
a
doubting
Eue
,
to
say
,
lest
I
die
,
hee
will
bee
a
Serpent
,
and
dare
confidentlie
say
,
thou
shalt
not
die
.
Be
not
:
a
slaue
to
him
,
that
made
suite
to
lodge
in
Swine
.
Bee
not
ruled
by
him
,
if
thou
beest
trulie
penitent
,
who
reigneth
onely
ouer
the
disobedient
.
Bee
no
subiect
to
so
base
an
abiect
:
nor
a
friend
to
so
great
a
foe
.
Leaue
his
lusts
,
else
looke
for
no
life
.
Forsake
the
world
,
else
thou
gainest
nothing
by
the
word
.
If
thou
wilt
needs
be
led
by
him
,
looke
for
no
Heauen
:
if
thou
securelie
sinne
,
prepare
for
Hell
.
Remember
the
end
,
the
due
reward
of
wickednesse
,
both
in
the
diuell
,
and
the
damned
.
From
which
miserie
,
the
God
of
compassion
deliuer
thee
(
Reader
)
of
his
tender
mercie
.
Amen
.
The
Picture
of
Goodnesse
.
GOodnes
is
grace
,
a
picture
of
God
:
the
worst
in
generall
approue
it
,
but
the
Saints
specially
reioice
in
it
.
It
is
heauens
path-way
,
the
righteous
mans
ayme
:
no
earthly
thing
can
purchase
it
,
it
is
onely
God
that
giues
it
.
In
it selfe
it
is
beyond
any
price
,
and
maketh
other
things
precious
.
It
is
the
difference
between
creature
&
creature
,
between
men
&
men
in
their
words
and
works
.
Goodnesse
makes
man
good
,
the
person
,
his
speech
and
practise
.
It
banisheth
brutishnesse
,
forceth
fraud
to
be
flying
,
allayeth
contentious
heate
of
spirit
,
and
meekneth
the
vntameable
nature
of
man
.
It
suffereth
no
reuengement
,
it
is
not
rigorous
in
punishment
.
Loue
springs
from
it
,
patience
waits
of
it
,
and
charitie
vshers
it
.
It
is
that
which
makes
a
man
friendlie
,
to
procure
reliefe
for
the
needy
;
and
without
delay
to
helpe
the
distressed
soule
.
It
is
defectiue
of
no
dutie
,
it
is
pliable
to
al
the
works
of
mercy
.
Will
is
neuer
wanting
by
goodnesse
,
tho
ability
be
away
.
It
inhabiteth
euer
in
true
piety
,
and
lodgeth
with
godly
pitie
.
It
banisheth
malice
and
michiefe
farre
from
it
,
and
is
a
deadly
bane
to
rancour
and
rage
.
It
forbeareth
a
fiecre
aduersary
very
quietly
;
wher
it
may
fully
reuenge
,
it
forgiueth
readily
.
It
will
passe
by
wrong
through
mercy
,
yet
not
shew
partial
pitie
,
to
ouerthrow
iustice
;
it
keeps
moderation
and
measure
in
all
things
.
It
is
borne
vp
of
humility
,
strengthned
by
patience
;
the
word
of
life
doth
nourish
it
,
the
Lord
of
life
doth
cherish
it
;
the
spirit
giues
it
quickning
,
and
Gods
glory
sets
it
on
working
.
It
is
from
heauen
aboue
,
in
earth
intertained
of
few
:
he
is
full
that
hath
it
,
and
he
euer
in
want
that
is
without
it
.
It
moues
vs
to
minde
God
more
then
goods
,
the
Lords
precepts
,
more
then
our
profits
.
It
thinkes
of
death
before
death
,
to
be
fit
for
death
.
It
prepares
the
body
for
the
earthly
graue
,
and
the
soule
for
the
heauenly
glory
It
brings
to
a
man
peace
within
,
and
praise
abroad
;
heere
commendation
,
and
after
saluation
.
This
is
goodnesse
,
the
forme
is
true
godlinesse
,
the
cause
is
grace
.
It
maks
a
man
study
to
be
quiet
,
it
keeps
patience
within
vs
,
contentment
about
vs
,
wickednes
farre
from
vs
.
Good
is
hee
,
that
hath
this
goodnesse
,
he
shall
attaine
to
euerlasting
happinesse
.
Precepts
.
LAbour
to
come
to
this
goodnesse
,
dwell
with
it
:
harbour
vnder
it
.
Let
it
grace
thy
person
,
and
commend
thy
condition
.
Let
thy
words
declare
it
,
and
thy
workes
paint
it
out
to
the
world
.
Thou
shalt
by
goodnesse
get
with
God
fauour
,
and
among
good
men
friendship
:
which
the
God
of
goodnesse
giue
vnto
thee
now
and
alwaies
:
Amen
.
The
Picture
of
Badnesse
.
THis
is
sinne
,
the
cretures
deformitie
,
the
turning
of
the
will
from
God
,
and
the
minde
from
good
.
It
is
the
seed
of
Satan
,
the
fruit
of
tentation
,
and
mans
destruction
.
The
Diuel
is
the
Father
,
concupiscence
the
Mother
.
The
Serpent
subtilly
suggested
it
,
our
first
parents
foolishly
did
entertaine
it
.
Satan
yet
is
euer
in
begetting
it
,
worldly
obiects
prouoke
it
,
the
senses
let
it
in
vnto
the
soule
.
Consent
is
conception
,
the
heart
is
the
wombe
of
conceiuing
.
It
quickneth
by
fleshly
reasons
,
it
trauelleth
in
desire
to
bee
doing
.
It
bringeth
foorth
by
opportunity
,
the
Midwife
;
expelling
first
Gods
feare
,
laying
aside
his
precepts
,
contemning
his
presence
.
Holy
piety
hath
heere
no
place
,
conscience
is
not
called
to
this
businesse
,
remembrance
of
Gods
mercies
is
quite
out
of
minde
,
thoughts
of
his
wrath
hidden
in
the
earth
:
Gods
word
must
be
no
warrant
,
goodnesse
is
forgotten
.
These
bring
not
sinne
to
birth
,
these
hinder
sin
for
comming
forth
.
Doubting
of
Gods
word
makes
preparation
,
lust
laies
it
in
bed
,
infidelity
brings
it
to
perfection
.
It
is
wrapt
in
vanitie
,
it
is
laid
in
the
cradle
of
security
.
The
Diuel
closeth
the
eies
with
ignorance
,
and
filleth
the
eares
with
Sophistrie
:
the
head
is
couered
with
presumption
of
mercy
,
ouer
the
heart
is
laid
hardnesse
,
the
iudgement
is
ouerspread
with
blindnesse
.
It
is
nursed
by
the
world
,
suckled
vpon
the
breasts
of
pleasure
and
profit
.
It
growes
great
by
custome
,
and
spreads
by
community
.
Bad
examples
doe
countenance
it
,
plausible
tearms
confirme
it
.
It
is
cloathed
with
the
hope
of
pardon
,
tied
with
the
girdle
of
common
fauors
,
imagined
to
bee
of
Gods
special
grace
Shamlesnesse
attends
it
,
perswasion
of
time
enough
to
repent
,
giues
it
rest
,
and
conceit
of
finding
fauour
in
the
end
,
rocks
it
asleepe
.
Sinnes
sleepe
is
conscience
deadnesse
,
the
iudgements
blindnesse
,
the
wils
peruersenesse
,
affections
disorderlinesse
,
and
a
resolued
carelesnesse
.
Tho
sinne
haue
such
a
sleepe
,
yet
sometime
vpon
a
fearefull
terror
,
it
will
suddenly
awake
:
and
waking
,
the
pleasant
ditty
of
Satans
song
gets
it
soone
asleepe
againe
.
It
hath
foure
parts
:
the
Tenor
,
carke
and
care
thou
for
the
world
:
the
Meane
,
thou
maiest
repent
when
thou
wilt
:
the
Treble
,
reioice
thy selfe
in
thy
youth
:
the
Base
,
thinke
death
is
not
yet
at
hand
.
Heereby
it
snorts
in
a
carnal
safety
,
spreads
in
bredth
,
waxeth
big
,
and
hie
by
hardnesse
of
heart
.
It
is
very
foule
at
the
first
,
worse
by
continuance
,
but
loathsome
at
the
last
.
It
bastard-like
,
brings
shame
to
the
begetters
,
disgrace
to
the
abettours
,
confusion
to
the
followers
.
Where
it
getteth
strength
,
there
hardlie
it
is
cast
out
:
where
it
is
not
timely
mastred
,
there
it
wil
haue
the
vpper
hand
.
It
is
lordly
,
and
couets
to
rule
:
it
is
raging
,
and
tyrannous
,
if
it
raigne
.
Hee
that
subdues
it
,
easily
kils
it
;
and
hee
that
striues
not
to
stifle
sinne
,
workes
his
owne
woe
,
and
neglects
his
owne
safetie
.
Sin
where
it
is
not
killed
,
will
kill
;
if
it
die
,
we
liue
;
i●
it
liue
,
we
die
most
certainely
.
It
was
at
the
first
,
personall
;
it
is
now
original
,
and
naturall
:
From
Gods
mercie
in
the
elect
onely
veniall
;
in
it selfe
and
in
all
other
,
deadlie
and
mortall
.
Good
is
propounded
in
the
suggestion
,
pleasure
is
conceiued
in
the
consent
,
and
so
wickednesse
is
approued
,
by
the
heart
deceiued
,
till
the
time
come
of
torment
.
Seduced
soules
bewitched
with
the
works
of
the
flesh
,
know
not
the
euill
of
sinne
:
but
behold
and
see
,
how
it
defaceth
Gods
image
,
makes
man
a
monster
;
of
Gods
child
,
the
diuels
creature
.
It
dislodgeth
goodnesse
,
it
keepes
out
godlines
;
inwardlie
it
delights
the
hart
with
filthinesse
,
and
outwardlie
sets
the
hand
to
act
vnrighteousnes
.
God
and
man
by
it
are
at
ods
,
who
werebefore
at
one
:
the
Earth
in
creation
blessed
,
by
transgression
is
accursed
.
It
takes
from
vs
what
good
we
haue
,
&
brings
the
euils
vppon
vs
,
which
naturallie
we
hate
.
It
cast
the
Angels
out
of
Heauen
,
Adam
out
of
Paradise
;
by
it
Reuben
lost
his
birthright
,
Iudas
his
Apostleship
,
by
it
commeth
death
to
men
terribile
,
and
their
persons
to
God
execrable
.
It
maketh
the
Law
condemne
vs
,
and
conscience
to
accuse
vs
.
By
it
godlie
exercises
grow
loathsome
,
godly
companie
becomes
irkesome
.
No
blessing
should
bee
wanting
,
if
sinne
put
not
in
a
barre
:
euer
contentment
,
without
discomfort
:
euer
internall
peace
,
without
externall
disgrace
.
It
is
wickednesse
,
that
workes
our
wretchednesse
.
Shame
is
sinnes
raiment
,
dishonour
the
cognizance
,
reproach
the
praise
,
an
ill
name
the
recompence
.
In
itselfe
it
is
vanity
,
the
gaine
but
misery
.
It
is
a
strife
with
the
truth
,
an
heresie
against
veritie
,
Idolatrie
against
sincerity
.
It
is
a
conflict
with
God
,
and
a
resisting
of
goodnesse
:
nothing
worse
then
heerein
to
haue
the
victory
.
Mans
opposing
of
the
word
,
is
a
taking
part
with
Satan
,
against
the
Lord
:
and
mans
ioy
in
sinning
,
is
to
be
glad
of
the
diuels
triumphing
.
All
men
haue
sinne
,
but
hee
that
committeth
sinne
,
is
a
slaue
to
sinne
.
It
rules
in
some
,
in
other
it
is
ruled
:
Hee
that
makes
the
least
of
it
,
shall
,
as
with
wisards
,
haue
least
to
doe
with
it
.
It
is
as
an
impudent
guest
;
tho
it
come
seldome
,
yet
is
euer
troublesom
;
smal
kindnesse
doth
work
great
boldnesse
;
much
curtesie
,
intollerable
saucinesse
.
It
is
euer
to
the
godly
vexation
of
spirit
;
if
but
once
in
act
,
yet
greatly
grieuous
;
if
it
be
liked
,
and
often
welcome
,
and
neuer
forbidden
,
there
grace
and
goodnesse
will
grow
into
a
consumption
,
and
the
partie
runne
headlong
into
perdition
.
It
is
of
diuers
colours
,
and
keepes
not
one
shape
;
it
is
of
diuers
natures
,
and
not
of
one
sort
In
one
it
is
pride
&
lordly
,
in
an
other
humility
in
shew
,
but
indeed
hypocrisie
.
In
the
cholerike
it
is
irefull
,
in
some
other
nature
lustfull
.
It
is
somtime
adulterie
,
and
maks
a
man
filthy
;
it
is
sometime
drunkennesse
,
and
makes
a
man
beastly
.
It
hath
the
commandements
,
ten
witnesses
to
name
it
;
it
hath
also
the
same
law
to
declare
against
it
.
One
precept
tearmes
it
Idolatrie
,
an
other
saith
it
is
adultery
:
this
maketh
it
superstition
,
that
trecherie
and
rebellion
;
as
the
Law
looks
vpon
sinne
,
so
the
commandements
doe
name
it
,
and
thereupon
withall
disclaime
it
.
It
turnes
a
man
into
it selfe
,
and
makes
a
man
to
shew
it
,
against
himselfe
.
One
sinne
is
linked
in
with
another
,
and
euery
one
forceth
out
the
proper
fruit
,
of
it
owne
nature
.
By
couetousnesse
man
growes
niggardly
,
an
oppressour
,
vnmercifull
:
by
pride
,
arrogant
,
hauty
and
hatefull
:
by
gormandizing
,
gluttonous
;
by
faithlesnesse
,
treacherous
:
by
ignorance
,
superstitious
;
by
carnall
seruice
,
Idolatrous
:
by
contempt
of
other
,
and
abuse
of
wit
,
against
the
word
,
hereticall
;
and
by
immoderat
passion
,
and
strong
affection
,
Schismaticall
.
It
is
in
euery
one
more
or
lesse
;
the
childe
hath
it
,
but
knowes
it
not
:
the
yong
man
is
caried
with
it
,
but
cares
not
;
the
grown
man
forced
with
it
,
but
resists
not
:
and
old
age
with
it
Crammocklike
crooked
,
but
feeles
it
not
.
Yet
is
nothing
more
in
vse
to
be
knowne
;
more
hindering
mans
good
,
to
be
auoided
;
more
subtill
,
to
be
looked
vnto
;
more
inward
,
to
be
felt
;
more
perilous
,
to
bee
preuented
;
more
forcibly
assaulting
vs
,
to
be
strongly
of
all
resisted
.
By
it
Satan
gets
of
the
heart
possession
;
by
it
is
hindered
the
spirits
illumination
.
Our
vnderstanding
by
sinne
is
darkned
,
our
thoughts
from
God
estranged
;
the
heart
in
goodnesse
is
fainted
,
the
faculty
of
the
will
weakened
,
and
the
quietnesse
of
conscience
interrupted
.
Faith
fals
to
doubting
,
hope
le
ts
goe
her
hold
,
and
loue
turnes
her
liking
into
loathing
.
Yea
,
if
repentance
,
vpon
euery
sin
,
cut
not
the
cord
of
vanitie
,
and
grace
grow
vp
in
the
roome
with
sincerity
,
this
death
in
sinne
,
will
bring
death
for
sinne
,
which
will
turne
saluation
offered
,
but
carelesly
reiected
,
into
confusion
deserued
,
but
now
not
greatly
feared
.

LOue

the

To

thee
from

,
learne
the

,
know
thy
natural
inclination
,
and
striue
for
amendment
.
Heare
how
God
threats

;
obserue
his
iudgements
to
discerne
of
his
wrath
.
Other
mens
punishments
for
thy
personall
faults
,
make
them
admonishments
that
thou
no
more
doe
fall
.
Oppose
Gods
precepts

to
temptations
of
pleasure
,
the
reward
of
that
heauenly
life
,
to
this
temporvrie
,
and
earthly
losse
.
For
sake
not
God
,
for
any
worldly
good
.
Sinne
not
heere
,
as
a
seruant
to
Satan
:
neglect
not
true
holinesse
,
which
is
with
God
commendable
,
and
shall
be
recompenced
with
endlesse
happines
.
Remember
thou
must
die
,
and
therefore
liue
to
die
:
Consider
the
day
of
account
to
make
a
good
reckoning
.
As
thou
art
heere
,
so
looke
to
stand
there
:
if
heere
sinnefull
,
there
shamefull
;
if
heere
regardlesse
of
the
commandement
,
there
certainly
expect
seuere
punishment
;
from
which
the
Lord
deliuer
thee
.
Amen

HEauen

desired

It

the

It

It

the

of

All

It

Heere

Militant

All

Such

,
such

such

from
all

as
no

who

All

immeasurable

The

This

the

so
innumerable

so

There

No

No

it

There

such

No

Care

nothing

nothing

Iudgement

The

the

Precepts

O

doe
thou
often
meditate
of
this

.
Let
it
eat
vp

heart
with
desire
to
enioy
it
.
Let
carking
for
this
world
bee
expelled
with
thy
care
of
heauen
:
neglect
not
this
felicity
,
the
things
heere
are
transitorie
vanitie
.
Delight
not
in
the
pleasures
of
death
,
to
lose
,
for
them
,
the
paradise
of
life
.
To
winne
the
world
by
works
of
darknesse
,
what
is
thy
gaine
,
if
thou
lose
true
goodnesse
?
To
pawne
thy

is
it
not
madnesse
?
Exchange
not
God
for
the
Diuell

goodnesse
for
badnesse
,
heauen
for
hell
.
Heauen
is
a
holy
place
,
the
vncleane
enter
not

Suppose
no
such
easie
passage
,
as
fabulous
Poets
paint
out
:
Straite
is
the
way
vnto
it
,
narrow
is
the
gate
to
goe
into
it
:
many
seeke
it
,
few
doe
find
it
.
Let
thy
way
be
veritie
;
thy
path
pietie
,
the
spirit
thy
conductor
,
the
word
a
directour
,
thy
eie
faith
,
thy
staie

.
The
straitnesse
of
it
,
is
affliction
;
the
narrownesse
,
true
contrition
;
the
suburbs
,
the
Church
;
the
dore
,
Christ
:
by
whom
thou
shalt
enter
into

Striue
then
to

to

this
true

This

Amen

The
Picture
of
Hell
.
HEll
is
the
place
for
the
impenitent
,
euerie
such
person
is
the
hellish
inhabitant
.
It
is
the
prison
for
those
that
be
separate
from
Gods
presence
,
the
dreadful
dungeon
of
vtter
darkenes
,
the
fearefull
Topheth
,
and
deep
pit
bottomlesse
.
It
is
the
lake
burning
with
brimstone
,
the
hollow
caue
and
Chaos
of
confusion
.
It
is
terrour
with
lamentation
,
it
is
dread
with
desolation
,
and
horrour
with
vtter
destruction
.
There
is
death
,
there
is
euer
dying
,
and
yet
neuer
without
being
.
It
is
a
gulph
deuouring
,
a
swallowing
whirle
pole
,
a
flaming
furnace
:
Gods
iustice
makes
it
,
his
power
vpholds
it
,
and
it
is
blown
with
the
bellowes
of
his
wrath
.
There
is
scorching
fire
vnquenchable
,
and
freezing
cold
intollerable
.
Stinking
smoak
is
for
the
smell
,
loathsome
filth
for
the
stomacke
:
the
eare
shall
heare
a
hideous
noise
,
the
eie
shall
see
gastlie
sights
,
and
horrible
visions
:
what
not
there
to
breed
amazedment
?
what
not
there
to
cause
fearefull
astonishment
?
It
is
the
valley
of
Gods
vtmost
vengeance
,
the
fulnesse
of
his
wrath
,
&
perfection
of
his
plagus
.
The
Lords
gaole
,
the
exilement
of
soules
,
the
sinck
of
sinners
,
the
foule
harbour
for
infernall
Hags
.
Oh
what
woe
is
there
with
wailing
from
hearts
comfortlesse
;
what
riuers
of
teares
,
because
of
torturing
torments
,
and
yet
remedilesse
?
Forlorne
creatures
,
cursed
caitifs
;
full
of
trauell
,
painefull
wearines
:
ful
of
frightings
,
fearefull
terrours
endlesse
.
They
bee
in
themselues
helpelesse
,
of
Gods
mercy
hopelesse
.
Oh
the
clamorous
outcrying
,
the
yelps
and
yelling
,
the
sighs
and
sobbing
,
the
mad
rage
that
there
is
and
roaring
!
No
heart
so
hard
,
as
can
suffer
a
mortall
eie
to
behold
it
,
no
eare
to
heare
it
,
nor
mind
to
muse
of
it
.
The
diuell
there
hath
his
full
damnation
,
the
fiends
are
outragious
and
filled
with
furie
,
the
rest
fret
and
sume
,
and
are
as
in
a
wood
frensie
.
Their
desire
is
reuenge
,
their
deuotion
,
cursing
;
their
blessing
,
blaspheming
.
The
wicked
there
be
so
fagoted
vp
with
the
bands
of
Gods
iustice
;
as
bundles
of
sticks
so
cast
into
the
fire
,
by
the
power
of
his
might
,
so
held
in
vndurable
torment
by
his
perpetuall
displeasure
,
as
they
blaspheme
Gods
benignitie
,
for
feeling
his
iustice
in
seueritie
.
They
bee
in
a
huge
Sea
of
miserie
,
in
an
Ocean
of
calamitie
.
Fire
,
flames
,
and
flashing
about
them
,
the
worme
of
conscience
gnawing
within
them
;
rage
,
madnesse
,
irefull
indignation
among
them
:
vgly
visages
of
blacke
diuel
saffrighting
them
,
monstrous
apparitions
,
an
vncomfortable
companie
about
them
:
Sulphure
and
hot
burning
cinders
vnder
them
:
the
reuenging
hand
of
God
ouer
them
,
and
pouring
forth
the
viols
of
his
wrath
,
full
of
variety
of
plagues
without
ceasing
vpon
them
.
Egyptian
plagues
are
there
encreased
,
the
tempests
of
lightening
and
thunder
multiplied
.
They
may
remoue
from
place
to
place
,
so
exchange
in
plagues
,
but
neuer
either
be
eased
of
pangs
,
or
freed
from
paine
.
They
are
chained
vp
perpetually
,
to
endure
reall
punishment
vpon
body
and
soule
eternally
.
They
haue
heauie
hearts
loadned
with
passion
,
they
be
wofully
distressed
with
all
Calamities
,
without
any
commiseration
.
There
is
care
,
but
no
comfort
;
vexation
,
without
consolation
;
lamentation
but
none
shew
compassion
.
They
weepe
,
they
crie
,
they
waile
,
&
mourne
,
they
houle
,
and
pitiously
bemone
their
euer-during
miserie
.
Ah
,
alas
,
saith
one
,
in
cold
freezing
,
and
yet
extremely
burning
:
Woe
to
mee
,
saith
an
other
,
in
hote
water-scalding
,
and
yet
so
cold
,
as
his
teeth
may
bee
hard
chattering
,
his
body
may
behold
so
to
quak
,
and
in
euery
ioint
to
quiuer
,
as
if
bone
from
bone
would
fall
a
sunder
.
Hence
such
roaring
,
such
yelling
,
such
bitternesse
in
banning
,
such
scritching
and
outcries
,
at
the
sudden
renewing
of
torments
,
at
the
continual
remouing
into
exchange
of
tortures
,
and
yet
remaining
alwaies
in
contrarie
plagues
,
as
the
eare
neuer
heard
,
the
eie
neuer
saw
nor
minde
of
man
able
to
apprehend
:
Wofull
dolefull
,
horribly
fearefull
,
insufferably
painefull
.
This
stinking
Sidde
and
dung-pit
crawles
full
of
the
venemous
generation
,
bloodie
Cainits
,
with
sorcerous
Balaamites
,
persecuting
Saules
,
with
craftie
Achitophels
,
the
Serpents
seed
,
the
reprobated
race
,
and
the
accursed
workers
of
iniquity
.
There
the
rageous
may
rend
and
teare
one
an
other
,
and
none
part
them
;
the
enuious
gnash
for
anger
,
and
gnaw
one
an
other
to
the
bone
,
and
none
regard
them
.
Hee
that
heere
sinned
for
his
pleasures
,
will
there
sinne
more
because
of
his
plagues
.
Euery
sinne
shall
there
bee
punished
,
accordingly
as
they
were
here
committed
.
There
is
penurie
for
gluttonie
;
extreame
drinesse
and
thirsting
,
for
exessiue
drinking
;
burning
,
for
lecherous
lusting
;
outragious
madnesse
,
for
blaspheming
;
want
,
for
ill
gotten
wealth
;
a
fearefull
agonie
,
for
bloody
crueltie
;
for
oppression
vtter
desolation
.
Then
is
seene
with
sorrow
enough
their
time
spent
in
vanitie
,
their
childhood
in
foolishinesse
,
their
youth
in
lustfulnesse
,
their
manhood
in
wickednesse
,
and
their
old
age
in
couetousnesse
,
their
first
yeeres
runne
on
in
ignorance
,
the
middle
age
consumed
in
negligence
,
and
the
terme
of
life
ended
without
repentance
.
They
out
of
measure
are
vexed
to
consider
what
they
were
,
and
might
haue
beene
,
what
they
are
,
and
must
be
,
what
they
would
be
,
and
cannot
attaine
to
.
They
thinke
of
time
past
,
but
without
thought
of
recouery
,
they
taste
of
the
time
present
in
vnspeakeable
miserie
,
and
doe
looke
to
the
time
to
come
,
without
hope
of
deliuerie
.
One
curseth
his
birth
,
and
bewailes
his
ignorance
;
an
other
curseth
his
education
,
and
parents
negligence
;
a
third
,
direfully
bannes
himselfe
for
his
irrepentance
.
Their
owne
senses
doe
enlarge
much
their
sorrowes
;
they
behold
Heauen
,
and
themselues
in
Hell
;
the
godly
in
gladnesse
,
themselues
in
griefe
;
Christs
faithfull
people
in
order
,
and
honour
,
themselues
in
confusion
and
fearefull
horrour
;
the
Saints
of
God
in
glorious
prosperitie
,
themselues
in
shamefull
infamie
,
and
miserable
aduersitie
.
They
heare
in
heauen
blessing
,
melodious
singing
;
in
hell
cursing
and
lamentable
mourning
;
before
the
eies
are
flashing
flames
,
and
a
thicke
smoake
ascending
;
for
the
nose
is
prepared
a
noisome
smell
euerlastinglie
stincking
.
In
steed
of
sweetnesse
,
there
is
gallie
bitternesse
;
for
delicate
fare
,
farnishment
;
for
libertie
,
inthralement
;
fire
brands
,
for
beds
;
for
soft
lodging
,
pich
and
brimstone
with
iuniper
coales
burning
;
in
steed
of
musick
and
pleasant
harmonie
,
a
hellish
noise
of
discordancy
.
They
feele
torments
vnspeakable
,
paines
intollerable
,
and
the
same
alwaies
durable
.
By
impatience
their
plagues
are
increased
,
by
their
obstinacy
continued
,
and
by
Gods
power
and
iustice
maintained
.
Thus
are
their
hearts
in
continuall
heauinesse
,
their
pale
countenance
in
dolefull
sadnesse
.
To
heauen
they
looke
vp
,
bewailing
their
mishap
,
in
hel
they
looke
downe
with
shame
of
face
.
If
they
would
repent
now
they
cannot
:
if
they
could
,
it
is
then
to
late
;
they
were
retchlesse
in
the
daies
of
amendment
,
and
their
case
is
remedilesse
,
in
the
time
of
punishment
.
There
is
not
any
grant
of
the
least
comfort
to
the
greatest
torment
,
nor
to
the
extreemest
pange
any
kind
of
easement
.
They
may
crie
,
and
cry
againe
,
Lord
,
Lord
;
they
may
intreat
for
mercy
,
but
neuer
be
heard
:
no
grace
,
no
peace
,
all
paine
,
all
plagues
;
none
blessed
,
euery
one
accursed
.
Hee
that
is
afflicted
,
shall
bee
more
tormented
;
he
that
is
condemned
,
shall
euer
be
damned
.
Heauen
haue
they
lost
,
and
not
to
bee
purchased
,
Hell
haue
they
duelie
deserued
,
and
the
place
must
needes
bee
endured
.
None
among
themselues
can
helpe
one
another
,
and
among
the
celestiall
companie
they
shall
not
finde
one
comforter
.
If
children
should
call
to
parents
,
they
will
not
pity
them
they
haue
lost
that
naturall
affection
,
they
can
haue
no
such
compassion
.
Though
parents
should
make
petition
&
pray
their
children
,
they
will
not
bee
cared
for
.
Tho
they
cry
and
call
,
saying
ôh
our
bowels
,
and
our
blood
.
Oh
once
bone
of
our
bone
,
and
flesh
of
our
flesh
,
speake
for
your
poore
tormented
parents
:
Is
there
no
naturall
loue
now
left
?
What
no
compassion
?
Shall
wee
perish
?
can
you
see
vs
thus
plagued
,
and
shew
no
pitie
?
Haue
mercy
,
deare
children
,
on
vs
so
in
miserie
,
sweet
Babs
,
once
louing
and
beloued
,
speak
,
oh
speake
one
word
for
vs
;
are
wee
not
plunged
in
vnspeakable
paine
?
looke
vpon
your
now
forlorne
Father
,
who
once
fedde
you
with
food
:
ah
,
alas
,
haue
some
remorse
of
your
mournefull
mother
:
Oh
for
Gods
sake
seeke
this
time
our
good
:
let
some
sparkles
of
your
loue
appeare
.
Can
you
be
in
pleasure
,
and
suffer
vs
to
lie
in
perpetuall
paine
?
Wee
spared
no
labour
for
your
education
,
and
can
your
eies
behold
vs
languishing
in
this
place
of
destruction
?
If
you
did
call
,
wee
came
speedily
to
succour
:
when
we
heard
you
cry
,
wee
were
in
care
for
you
;
your
miserie
was
to
vs
calamitie
;
your
aduersitie
,
the
abatement
of
our
prosperitie
;
and
can
you
heare
our
pitious
groning
,
and
see
the
Diuels
grinning
as
dogs
vpon
vs
,
your
eares
heare
our
bitter
crying
and
they
againe
barbarously
tormenting
vs
and
be
silent
?
Oh
,
woe
is
vnto
vs
,
fire
,
consume
vs
;
vengeance
,
doe
you
vtterlie
make
an
end
of
vs
.
All
this
will
not
worke
,
words
are
but
spent
in
vaine
;
natures
force
hath
lost
the
effect
;
there
is
no
knowledge
of
kindred
,
or
kinsfolke
;
the
godly
regard
Gods
glorie
,
and
therein
onely
reioice
.
To
conclude
,
they
now
know
,
and
to
late
beleeue
,
that
the
good
doe
dwell
with
God
,
haue
Christs
company
and
Angels
glorie
;
but
themselues
to
be
hated
of
God
,
neglected
of
the
good
:
to
bee
with
black
diuels
damned
,
with
sauage
furies
accompanied
,
with
barking
helhounds
horribly
affrighted
,
and
with
barbarous
tormentors
cruelly
handled
;
so
as
they
alwaies
in
this
liuelesse
liuing
,
weepe
,
mourne
,
and
lament
for
such
hellish
paines
:
and
in
this
deathlesse
dying
crie
,
yelp
,
howle
,
yell
,
for
such
euer
during
plagues
:
from
which
(
O
Lord
)
deliuer
thine
,
and
shew
them
mercie
(
O
God
)
that
they
decay
not
in
goodnes
,
that
so
they
neuer
feele
these
punishments
for
their
wickednesse
.
Amen
.
Precepts
.
O
Miserable
Sinner
,
now
doe
thou
seriouslie
consider
:
heere
in
this
life
,
see
to
thy selfe
.
Who
would
endure
,
but
awhile
these
paines
,
for
all
worldly
pleasure
?
Who
would
goe
to
this
dolefull
place
of
Diuels
,
for
wicked
gaine
?
What
is
there
in
this
pleasure
heere
,
profit
,
and
honour
,
that
for
it
thou
shouldst
aduenture
infernall
paines
for
euer
?
Oh
breake
the
caul
of
thine
heart
with
sorrow
,
rather
then
to
fall
into
such
plagues
,
for
delight
in
sinne
.
Brust
into
teares
,
to
escape
these
torments
.
Liue
not
securelie
;
stoope
hautie
heart
,
that
thou
maiest
not
for
pride
bee
sent
packing
to
this
place
of
paines
.
Grow
leane
cheekt
thou
Glutton
,
and
pale
faced
thou
Drunkard
,
ere
thou
beest
euerlastinglie
famished
with
penurie
,
or
be
scorched
in
a
burning
flame
,
and
euer
be
kept
drie
and
thirstie
.
Thou
mincing
creature
Peacock-like
,
neglect
thy
pride
i●
apparell
,
that
thou
maiest
betime
in
time
auoid
this
perill
.
Prophane
Miscreant
,
seeke
an
attonement
,
labour
for
peace
,
fall
downe
before
the
throne
of
grace
.
Let
(
O
wicked
liuer
)
thy
head
be
a
fountaine
of
water
,
and
cause
thy
eies
to
trickle
downe
teares
,
yea
to
runne
as
riuers
for
thy
transgressions
,
that
thou
maiest
escape
these
hellish
vexations
.
Looke
on
the
ground
whereon
thou
goest
,
and
thinke
vpon
thy
graue
:
behold
the
heauens
,
and
consider
whence
is
grace
.
Awfullie
regard
the
accusation
of
conscience
,
and
set
euer
thy selfe
before
Gods
presence
.
Read
letters
of
discomfort
sometime
from
the
Law
,
lest
thou
presume
by
promises
of
the
Gospell
.
Draw
neere
to
God
,
whilest
he
doth
say
,
Come
;
stretching
out
his
hands
to
embrace
the
penitent
:
before
he
saie
,
Goe
,
sitting
as
Iudge
to
condemne
the
disobedient
.
There
is
a
time
for
thee
before
thou
die
to
obtaine
saluation
;
but
in
time
after
death
there
is
no
redemption
.
Therfore
craue
pardon
of
God
earnestly
,
associate
thy self
to
the
godlie
speedilie
.
Fall
groueling
vpon
the
ground
,
and
aske
forgiuenesse
:
grieue
heartily
,
speake
passionately
.
Smite
thy
breast
,
strike
on
thy
thigh
,
shake
thy
head
,
wring
thy
hands
,
shead
teares
,
powre
,
powre
out
thy
soul
vnto
God
,
and
crie
aloud
,
aloud
,
I
saie
,
cry
,
oh
spare
spare
me
good
Lord
,
whom
thou
(
O
God
)
hast
redeemed
with
Christs
precious
blood
.
Oh
forgiue
me
,
I
confesse
I
haue
offended
thee
:
let
thy
patience
forbeare
mee
,
let
thy
great
mercie
acquite
mee
.
He
that
doth
repent
betime
,
the
Lord
will
heare
him
in
time
:
Gods
gracious
compassion
,
is
neuer
without
pitifull
commiseration
:
neither
the
prouoking
of
his
iustice
to
wrath
,
without
dreadfull
and
certaine
destruction
.
Presume
not
,
yet
despaire
not
;
liue
to
die
,
yet
die
to
liue
;
thinke
of
heauen
,
yet
forget
not
,
that
there
is
a
hell
:
be
so
comforted
in
thy
iustification
,
as
thou
euer
get
a
certaintie
of
glorie
by
thy
sanctification
.
Liue
in
the
fleshes
mortification
,
in
hatred
of
the
world
,
in
the
spirits
viuification
;
vse
the
meanes
of
thy
effectuall
vocation
:
claime
nought
of
merit
,
craue
all
of
mercie
,
liue
in
true
humilitie
,
and
practise
alway
the
works
of
charitie
,
and
thou
shalt
assuredly
escape
