Is

And
are
not

His
Piety

and
as
for
the
quantity
they
were
few

so
for
the
quallity
they
were
euill
,
in
regarde
of
the
misery
and
sorrow
which
in
these
few
dayes
he
indured
.
For
who
more
exercised
in

then
Iob
was
,
who
was

held
vnder

was

Then

Whether

In

it

Miserable
comforters
are
you
all
.
Hereby
I
hope
you
see
what
cause
Iob
had
to
say
,
Is
there
not
a
time
of
warfare
appointed
to
man
vpon
earth
,
and
are
not
his
dayes
as
the
dayes
of
an
hireling
,
as
wee
haue
it
in
my
Text
:
In
which
words
Two
things
are
obseruable
,
-
1.
The
sharpnesse
of
mans
life
,
subiect
to
many
troubles
,
in
these
words
:
Is
there
not
a
time
of
warfare
to
man
vpon
earth
.
-
2.
The
shortnesse
of
mans
life
,
in
these
words
:
Are
not
his
daies
as
the
daies
of
an
hireling
.
For
the
meaning
of
the
words
,
you
may
conceiue
them
better
,
if
wee
enlarge
them
a
little
,
as
if
Iob
had
in
more
words
said
thus
.
As
God
hath
appointed
how
long
euery
man
shall
liue
,
of
which
time
he
cannot
come
short
if
hee
would
,
nor
go
beyond
it
:
So
it
is
Gods
pleasure
that
they
shall
finde
little
pleasure
,
this
short
shall
not
be
sweete
,
but
as
a
warfare
wherein
hee
must
fight
against
his
enemies
,
the
Diuel
,
the
World
,
and
his
owne
Flesh
:
neither
may
hee
giue
ouer
when
he
sees
good
;
for
as
he
that
is
hired
,
must
looke
to
doe
some
worke
for
his
wages
,
for
that
short
time
that
he
hath
vndertaken
:
so
must
we
in
the
dayes
of
our
liues
;
they
may
not
bee
spent
vainely
and
idely
,
but
in
doing
good
.
I
must
yet
come
nearer
the
words
.
Is
not
time
determined
of
warfare
to
man
vpon
earth
:
Some
reade
them
thus
,
The
life
of
man
is
a
warfare
vpon
earth
:
Some
thus
,
Is
there
not
a
certaine
time
of
warfare
determined
vnto
man
vpon
earth
:
Som
thus
,
Is
there
not
a
day
of
warfare
to
mortall
man
vpon
earth
:
Others
thus
,
Is
not
time
determined
to
man
vpon
earth
.
The
world
signifies
an
Armie
a
w●rfare
an
end
or
determinate
time
,
as
God
hath
appointed
that
men
shall
die
[
p
](A10033-e1390-b)
p
Heb.
9
,
27
:
So
he
hath
determined
a
time
how
long
to
liue
,
and
then
to
die
:
Are
not
mans
dayes
determined
,
the
number
of
his
monethes
are
with
thee
;
thou
hast
appointed
his
time
,
which
(
if
hee
would
)
hee
cannot
passe
[

:
All
the
dayes
of
my
appointed
time
,
will
I
wait
till

changing
come

Henc●
then
we
may
draw
this
Doctrine
.
Th●t
God
hath
decreed
how
long
euery
man
shall
liue
;
no
man
can
liue
beyond
the
time
determined
by
God
.

but

should

and
God
had
determined
hee
should
not
die
till
then
.
The
one
in
his
infancie
,
the
other
in
his
old
age
;
both
in
the
time
determined
by
God
.
To
all
things
(
saith
Salomon
)
There
is
an
appointed
time
,
and
a
time
to
euery
purpose
vnder
the
Sunne
,
a
time
to
be
borne
,
and
a
time
to
di●
[

Let

bring

to

purpose
:
for

the
time
they
shall
be
frustrate
,
but
if
the
time
be
come
wherein
God
will
haue
his
will

effected
,
it
is
neither
force
nor
fraude

neither
power
nor

,
neither
money
nor

that
can
hinder
it

And
can

due
times

may
wee
thinke
that
that
is
not
the
most
due
time

God
hath
determined

The

is
taught
by

to
take
his

,
when
to
plough
,
&
when
to
sow
;
when
to
reap
and
when
to
gather
into

know

keepe
his

to
plant

or
hath
hee
not
determined
a

both
to

The
second
causes
I
know
,
that
is
such
meanes
as
God
hath
appointed
for
the

,
must
not
bee
despised
,
yet
they
must
not

doted

;
vse
these
carefully

commit
the
successe
to
God
,
who
onely
can
blesse
these
meanes
,
and
will
,
whensoeuer
they
may
serue
for
the
performance

can

It
is
comfort
enough

powerfull
to
perswade

patient
expectation

to
thinke
how
happy
a

vnto

we
can
be
content

wee
say
to
liue
as
long
as
the
Lord
hath
appointed

but
when
we
are
pinched
with
pouerty

surcharged
with

then
most

we
pray

wish

out

wee
will
not
waite

In
these
cases
,
we
can
alledge
Scripture
,
that
it
is
better
to
die
,
then
to
liue
;
because
Salomon
saith
,
that
the
day
of
death
is
better
than
the
day
of
our
birth
.
[

Salomon
doth
not
say
that
the
day
of
death
is
good
simply
,
but
by
way
of
comparison
better
then
the
day
of
birth
;
and
yet
this
may
seeme
in
humane
sence
and
reason
to
be
absurd
,
for
there
is
ioy
when
a
man
is
born
into
the
world

The

How
then
can
the
day
of
death
be
better
then
the
day
of
life
.
The
meaning
of
Salomon
is
,
that
life
is
attended
with
many
miseries
,
for
we
are
borne
to
labour
and
trauell
,
subiect
to
sickenesses
and
sorrow
,
and
sinne
,
nothing
but
death
can
deliuer
vs
from
all
these
;
and
therefore
better
is
the
day
of
death
then
the
day
of
birth
;
yet
be
it
neuer
so
good
,
be
it
better
then

,
be
it

of

Yong

for

may

that
goe
crooked

they
haue
no
Charters

not
eloquence
of
an
Angels
tongue
,
not
strong
Castles

not

can
take

perswade

Time

pretious

passeth

with
it
wee
passe
towardes
our

and
like
those
in

,
we
perceiue
it
not
,
and
therefore
prepare
not
for
it
,
or
thinke
not
of
the
danger
of
it
;
for
as
death
leaueth
vs
,
so
the
day
of
Iudgement
shall
finde
vs
.
They
that
build
faire
and
sumptuous
houses
,
are
not
certaine
how
long
they
shall
hold
them
;
they
that
purchase
lands
and
liuings
,
cannot
tel
how
long
they
shall
possesse
them
;
they
that
haue
gathered
in
a
great
haruest
,
cannot
tell
whether
they
shall
bee
better
by
it
;
they
that
plant
,
cannot
tell
whether
they
shall
eate
of
the
fruit
of
it
;
yet
all
these
men
are
prouident
to
prepare
for
life
that
is
vncertaine
,
and
forget
death
which
is
most
certaine
shall
come
,
&
more
vncertaine
when
it
shall
come
.
Prepare
then
in
health
,
for
it
may
hardly
bee
done
in
sicknesse
,
or
at
the
houre
of
death
.
Sicknesse
may
be
so
full
of
extreame
sorrowe
and
paine
,
and
death
so
sudden
and
present
,
that
thou
canst
not
prepare
thy selfe
if
thou
would
;
or
if
thou
doe
,
yet
not
so
well
as
thou
wouldest
:
many
neglect
to
prepare
themselues
when
they
may
,
and
when
they
would
cannot
.
So
the
fiue
foolish
Virgins
might
haue
had
Oyle
in
their
Lamps
,
if
they
had
lookt
to
it
in
time
;
but
afterward
,
when
willing
they
would
,
could
neither
buy
nor
borrow
any
.
These
men
consider
not

dangerous
it
is

procrastinate

p●…●ff

repentance

ye
refused

ye
were
in
health
in
the
prime
of

in
the
flower

in
the
heat
of
lust
,
hauing
by
nature
corrupt
hearts
and
carnal
affections
liuing
in
pleasure
,
passing
the
time
in
mirth
,
subiect
to
youthfull
wantonnesse
and
to
vnstaidnesse
of
affection
,
full
of
loosenesse
,
which
is
the
way
to
lewdnes
;
of
weakenesse
,
which
is
the
way
to
wickednesse
,
then
you
would
not

ye

They
that
forget
God
liuing

God
will
forget
them
dying
.
Secondly
,
in
the
time
of
death
men
are
more
grieuously
tempted
,
and
therfore
it
is
dangerous
to
deferre
repentance
to
the
dying
day

Remember
(
saith

why
should
wee
remember
God
in
youth
,
because
if
youth
be
spent
in
vanity
,
commonly
old
age
will
end
in
prophanenesse
.
The
Prophet
speaketh
of
Crimson
sinnes
,
sinnes
of
a
double
die
,
if
it
bee
right
Crimson
or
Purple
,
it
is
dyed
in
thred
&
in
the
wooll
,
and
that
is
euer
a
deepe
dye
,
so
if
Satan
dye
vs
in
our
wooll
,
in
our
youth
before
we
be
men
,
before
wee
be
made
cloath
,
it
is
like
to
sticke
by
vs
,
and
to
go
with
vs
to
our
graue
.
If
Sathan
make
thy
youth
vnprofitable
,
of
all
the
ages
after
,
there
can
hardly
any
good
be
hoped
for
;
if
the
blossome
be
nipt
,
where
is
the
hope
of
the
Autumne
.
Thus
much
for
the
first
point
,
that
God
hath
determined
the
dayes
of

how
long
hee
shall
liue

All

The

is
the

SAthan
is
a
great
enemy

A

for

roaring
for
his
malice

with
a
hungring
desire
to
hurt

going
about
without

seeking
through

whom
he

for
all
his

that
neither
God

When
he
cannot
secretly
deceiue
by
the
subtiltie
of

hee
runnes
vpon
men
with
open

,
like
a

in

in

You

before

after
the
finne
wee
shall
finde
him
a
Diuell
;
kinde
in
the
entrance

cruell

end

He
prooues
a
Tempter
that
he
may
play
the
Diuell
,
and
that
in
euery
place
;
hee
made
warre
in
Heauen
,
practised
fraud
in
Paradise
,
sowed
hatred
amongst
the
first
brethren
,
and
tares
in
the
wide
field
of
the
world

We
know
tares
will
grow
fast
enough
of
themselues
without
sowing
,
yet
in
hope
to
haue
fewell
enough
for
hell
fire
,
hee
will
take
paines
to
sow
them
,
and
that
in
the
night
when
others
sleepe

In
eating
hee
hath
surfeting

race

and
in
euery
blessing
of
God
some
secret
baite
to
draw
men
to
sinne
.
Into
the
heart
hee
doth
iniect
e-euill
thoughts
,
into
the
mouth
euill
words
,
into
the
members
euill
workes
:
He
mooueth
the
merry
to
be
dissolnte
,
and
the
mournefull
to
bee
desperate
.
What
then
shall
wee
doe
?
shall
wee
faint
and
feare
,
and
fly
from
him
;
no
,
then
wee
are
sure
to
bee
foyled
;
wee
must
fight
it
out
with
him
,
and
resolutely
resist
him
,
and
he
will
flie

Indeed
wee
cannot
doe
it
by
our
owne
strength
,
flesh
and
blood
are
but
vnequall
matches
for
spirits
of

The
first
weapon
is
the
truth
of
God

with
this
the
minde
must
bee
so
confirmed
and
strengthned
,
that
Sathan
doe
not
keep

The
second
weapon

The
third
is
an
allacrity

embrace

Gospell

The
fourth
is
faith

is

in

skirmish
must
holde

our
hearts

all
these
weapons
wee
shall
haue
if

vanity

THe

an
enemy
in

lies
betwixt

more

is
bred
in

nourished
by

,
doth
notwithstanding
fret
and
spoyle

,
so
the
flesh
doth
goe
about
to

doth
fight
against

But
how
shall
wee
ouercome
this
Enemy
that
is
alwayes
at
home
?
I
will
tell
thee
,
by
these
meanes
,
and
with
these
weapons
.
First
,
we
must
obstaine
from
fleshly
lusts
which
sight

the
soule

](A10033-e9430-b)
u

Secondly
,
we
must
tame
our
bodies
by
fasting
and
bring
them
into
subiection
[

,
we
must
mortifie
our
members
[
y
](A10033-e9470-b)

5.
.
Fourthly
,
we
must
abstaine
from
all
appearance
of
euill
.
Fiftly
,
wee
must
not
pamper
the
flesh
.
Sixtly
,
we
must
reiect
such
motions
as
the
flesh
doth
iniect
,
and
that
at
their
first
entrance
,
the
Serpent
must
be
crushed
in
the
shell
,
the
Foxe
must
bee
taken
while
he
is
a
cubbe
.
The
last
enemy
is
sinnne
.
THe
last
Enemie
with
whom
we
are
to
make
warre
in
this
world
,
is
Sin
,
a
busie
enemie
,
because
he
is
a
borderer
,
an
inhabitant
,
an
innmate
;
one
that
eateth
with
vs
,
sleepeth
with
vs
,
walketh
with
vs
,
rideth
with
vs
,
and
meeteth
vs
at
euery
turning
:
as
fire
in
the
flint
,
so
sinne
is
in
the
seede
,
it
is
bred
in
the
bones
,
and
will
not
out
of
the
flesh
,
vntill
Iosephs
bones
be
carried
out
of
Aegypt
;
that
is
,
vntill
we
be
out
of
this
World
.
Sinne
is
a
Iebusite
,
a
seditious
neighbour
,
and
an
insinuating
mate
,
so
hath
it
eaten
into
the
nature
of
Man
with
its
canker
and
contagion
,
that
his
affection
is
infection
,
his
reason
treason
,
and
his
will
wayward
altogether
,
and
auerse
from
good
.
The
more
the
Law
of
God
doth
forbid
sinne
,
the
more
doth
man
commit
sinne
;
we
run
with
all
might
and
maine
to
that
which
is
forbidden
,
for
it
falleth
out
commonly
with
sinners
as
it
doth
with
sicke
men
:
Commonly
the
meats
that
are
forbidden
by
the
Phisitian
,
are
a
kind
of
sauce
to
prouoke
appetitite
in
the
patient
,
most
of
all
to
desire
these
meats
.
As
swelling
waters
,
the
more
they
are
barred
their
course
,
the
more
they
rage
and
swell
,
and
ouerflow
and
beare
downe
all
before
them
;
so
the
more
the
Law
doth
seeme
to
barre
and
bolt
the
current
of
committing
sinne
,
and
to
set
the
bounds
which
they
should
not
passe
;
the
more
is
sinfull
mans
nature
enraged
,
and
the
more
the
swelling
waues
of
wickednes
do
ouerflow
&
make
their
fultide
;
the
more
shold
be
our
care
&
courage
to
encounter
it
,
and
set
our selues
to
fight
against
it
.
Of
our selues
indeed
we
cannot
ouercome
it
,
but
if
we
follow
our
Captaine
Christ
Iesus
,
it
shall
neuer
ouercome
vs
.
Saint
Paul
had
experience
both
of
his
conflict
with
sinne
,
and
conquest
ouer
sinne
.
O
wretched
man
that
I
am
(
saith
he
)
who
shall
deliuer
me
from
the
body
of
this
death
.
I
thanke
God
through
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
[

it

sacrifice
for

as

Caues
[

:
So
sinne
shutteth
vp
greatest
Emperours
prisoners
,
and
rowleth
stones
,
and
layeth
great
stumbling
blocks
in
their
way
:
and
as
none
could
ouercome
the
roaring
Lyon
,
but
the
Lyon
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
[

:
So
none
could
free
men
,
out
of
the
prison
whereinto
sinne
had
cast
them
,
but
onely
Christ
;
For
this
cause
Christ
tooke
flesh
vpon
him
,
that
so
hee
might
die
in
his
flesh
,
&
through
death
destroy
death
,
and
him
that
had
the
power
of
death
that
is
the
diuell
[
d
](A10033-e10140-b)
d

.
So
that
Christ
hath
carryed
away
the
gates
of
death
,
as
Sampson
sometime
did
the
gates
of
Azzah
[
e
](A10033-e10190-b)
e

16.

,
and
hath
by
his
power
preuailed
ouer
those
vncircumcised
Philestims
,
euen
sinne
and
death
,
and
the
diuell
and
hell
;
and
though
we
be
too
weake
of
our selues
to
conquer
sinne
,
yet
we
must
follow
our
Captaine
Christ
,
as
fast
as
we
can
,
and
as
farre
as
wee
may
.
First
,
by
flying
from
sinne
.
Secondly
,
by
dying
vnto
sinne
.
Thirdly
,
by
hating
all
sinne
,
yea
the
very
garments
spotted
with
the
flesh
[

Fourthly

doth
purifie

heart

And
thus
much
for
the
fourth
Enemie
,
now
take
a
view
of
all
these
together
,
consider
their
malice
,
their
might
and
the
multitude
of
souldiers
which
fight
vnder
them
,
and
we
shall
plainly
see
the
truth
of
the
point
proposed
,
that
while
we
liue
in
this
world
,
wee
must
looke
to
fight
and
prepare
our selues
for
this
Warfare
.
A
preparation
how
to
die
well

Christ
will

to
sit
downe
at
Table
with

,
where
they
shall
be
at
ease
from

Thirdly
,
as
we
haue
precept
to
watch
,
and
promise
of
blessednesse
if
we
doe
watch
;
so
wee
haue
a
patterne
and
example
of
watching
,
worthy
to
be
imitated
,
for
it
is
Christ
himselfe
.
What
Souldier
will
not
be
glad
to
watch
with
his
Captaine
?
what
Christian
will
not
runne
to
watch
,
when
they
heare
Christ
thus
kindly
calling
them
?
Could
ye
not

Watch
,
Behold
the
easinesse
,
I
bid
you
not
fight
for
mee
,
or
die
with
me
;
but
watch
onely
,
and
that
an
houre
:
Behold
the
easinesse
,
not
a
yeere
,
or
a
weeke
,
or
a
day
,
but
an
houre
.
Lastly
,
by
watching
as
wee
follow
Christs
patterne
,
so
we
shall
be
prepared
hereby
for
Christs
comming
,
which
will

As
Bankrupts
neuer
care
to
pay

so
many

neuer
thinke

goe
securely

wandring

Thirdly
,
the

To

And
so
often
in

Chapter
you
may
see
it
to
be
the
posee
of
all
the
Epistles
;
to
him
that
ouercommeth
will
I
giue
,
either
grace

or
both

not
to
him
that
steppeth

to
him
that
ouercommeth

that
fights
it
out

foiled

So
if

suffer

we
shall
raigne
with

suffer

raigne

suffer

for

from

wee

things

but
in

they
are

Though
the

yet
God
loues

his

Hee
suffered

bee

Mordacay

would

knowne
that
Iosephs
prison
would
haue
ended
in

with
royall
preferment

hee
would
rather
thinke

greatly
to

the
time
that
we
are
to
fight
is
farre
longer
,
they

for
an
houre

;
but
we
al
the
daies
of
our

,
the
Crowne
for
which
wee
striue
is
farre
better
:
they
did
wrastle
for
the
applause
and
commendation
of

,
or
for
a
garland
of

,
which
did
fade
in
a
day
:
we
for
an
incorruptible
Crowne
of
glory
,
which
God
shall
giue
vs
in
his
kingdome
.
Let
no
man
looke
for
his
reward
in
this
world
,
but
in
the
end
of
the
day
,
that
is
,
after
death
:
then
the
wages
shall
bee
paid
,
when
wee
rest
from
our
worke

As
L●…ch
called
his

Noah
because
he
should
comfort
him

make

end

Euen
so
all
iust
and
righteous
men
may
call
death
their
Noah
,
the
sonne
of
their
rest
,
and
end
of

This
may
serue
to
let
Christians
see
what
a
gracious
Master
they
serue
,
who
will
not
see
their

vnrewarded

The

What
is
the
Almighty
that
we
should
serue
him
,
and
what
profit
should
we
haue
of
we
pray
vnto
him
:
But
the
Christian
will
gladly
confesse
,
that
their
wages
is
farre
beyond
their
worke
,
for
if
wee
ouercome
,
the
Crowne
is
not
due
of
debt
:
heauen
is
no
purchase
of
ours
,
but
a
free
inheritance
giuen
to
the
godly
for

Eternall
life

gift
of
God
through
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
[

Euery
man
shall
receiue
according
to
his
workes
,
but
not
for
the
worth

merit
of

The
Crowne
is
of
mercy
,
not
of
merit
,
and
where
there
is
need
of
mercy
(
as
what
man
doth
not
need
it
)
there
is
no
standing
vpon
merit
.
The
Apostles
reason
in
this
point
is
plaine
:
If
saluation
bee
of
grace
,
it
is
no
more
of
workes
,
for
else
were

no
more

But
saluation
is
of
grace
,
as
the
same
Apostle
hath
plainely
deliuered
[

g

2
,

:
By
grace
are
you
saued
through
faith
,
and
that
not
of
your selues
,
it
is
the
gift
of
God
,
not
of
workes
least
any
man
should
boast
.
Indeed
we
are
created
in
Christ
Iesus
vnto
good
workes
,
that
wee
should
walke
in
them
,
as
it
followes
in
the
same
place
;
that
we
should
walke
in
them
,
not
that
we
may
merit
by
them
.
For
good
workes
are
the
way
wherin
wee
must
walke
to
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
,
but
they
are
not
the
cause
that
wee
are
Crowned
when
wee
come
there
.
Good
workes
wee
all
know
proceed
from
the
grace
of
God
and
therefore
God
cannot
any
way
be
indebted
to
vs
for
his
owne
which
he
giues
vs
.
Doth
not
Dauid
say
,
all
things
come
of
thee
,
and
of
thine
owne
hand

We
are
borne
to
doe
good
,
and
our
whole
course
must
be
to
walke
in
Gods
commandements
,
and
a

to
bee
fruitfull

are

must

These
are
the
best
apparell
of
Christians

most
durable
riches

treasures

doth
God
more

this

As

no

possibly
turne

A

in
obedience
,
and
fruitfull
in
good
works
,
is
the
fruits
of
profitable
Preaching
,
and
conscionable
hearing

a

the
Christians
badge
whereby
he
is
knowne

it
is
the
Ensigne
,
shewing
whose
Souldier
he
is
,
and
to
whom
he
belongeth

As
the
pleasant
and
delghtfull
fruit
which
the
Spies
brought
out
of
the
promised
land
;
shewed
that
that
was
pleasant

profitable
,
so
a
godly
conuersation
,
sheweth
that
a
man
is
the
child
of
God
,
and
seruant
of

.
Last
of
all
,
let
this
serue
to
exhort
all
true
Christians
to
liue
godly
in
this
present
life
,
&
alwayes
to
look
for
,
yea
,
and
long
for
death
;
to
welcome
and
embrace
it
when
it
doth
come
,
for
there
is
no
other
meanes
to
put
an
end
vnto
our
troublesome
Warfare
,
and
to
put
vs
in
possession
of
our
promised
reward
,
but
onely
death
.
The
poore
Apprentice
counts
when
the
date
of
his
Indentures
ende
,
that
hee
may
bee
made
free
;
the
Day-Labourer
lookes
when
the
Sunne
will
set
,
that
he
may
leaue
worke
;
The
Seafaring
man
and
Passenger
is
faine
when
they
come
within
kenne
of
land
,
that
they
may
attaine
the
Hauen
;
and
shall
not
we
,
whose
Indentures
end
not
but
by
death
;
who
must
not
leaue
working
till
the
Sunne
of
our
life
be
set
;
and
who
can
neuer
come
within
ken
of
the
Hauen
of
Heauen
,
till
we
see
some
signes
of
death
,
welcome
it
with
all
our
hearts
.
It
is
no
wonder
indeed
,
if
the
wicked
looke
pale
and
wanne
at
the
warning
of
death
,
because
they
discry
beyond
death
,
a
day
of
Iudgement
,
and
beyond
that
,
they
behold
hell
;
well
may
they
be
deiected
,
when
they
feele
sicknesse
,
and
almost
desperate
,
when
they
finde
the
pangs
of
death
vpon
them
;
for
besides
the
paine
of
death
,
euery
sinne
serues
as
a
Fury
to
torment
the
soule
,
and
to
make
it
loath
to
depart
out
of
the
prison
of
the
body
.
But
the
godly
who
haue
wrastled
and
made
Warre
here
with
their
spiritual
enemies
,
are
glad
to
heare
that
the
time
is
come
when
they
shall
be
crowued
.
It
was
a
cleare
heart
,
nothing
els
could
doe
it
,
that
gaue
so
bold
a
f●rehead
to
that
good
Bishop
,
who
durst
on
his
death-bed
professe
;
I
haue
so
liued
,
as
I
neither
feare
to
die
,
nor
shame
to
liue
;
for
if
we
so
l●…
,
as
alwayes
looking
when
we
shall
die
;
we
shall
so
die
,
as
not
doubt
but
be
Crown●d
with
Christ
in
his
Kingdome

The
Commendations
of
the
deceassed
Partie
.
ANd
now
blessed
and
beloued
Brethren
;
That
little
Boxe
of
oyntment
which
I
haue
brought
for
the
buriall
of
this
worthy
and
Worshipfull
Knight
;
I
hope
you
will
giue
mee
leaue
to
powre
forth
(
for
a
good
name
is
like
a
pretious
oyntment
powred
out
)
and
I
doubt
not
but
to
fill
the
house
with
the
sauoure
of
it
;
and
though
I
cannot
sufficiently
set
forth
his
commendations
,
yet
I
dare
not
so
much
wrong
him
that
deserued
it
,
or
you
that
expect
it
,
or
my selfe
that
owe
it
,
as
to
be
altogether
silent
;
lend
me
your
patience
then
a
little
,
till
I
discharge
this
due
debt
of
deserued
praise
,
not
to
be
denyed
vnto
the
dead
.
To
liue
well
,
and
to
die
well
,
as
they
are
inseperable
companions
;
so
they
are
the
most
certaine
tokens
of
a
true
Christian
,
and
the
greatest
commendations
that
in
fewest
words
can
bee
giuen
a
man
;
which
whether
they
bee
not
due
to
the
deceassed
Partie
,
those
that
knew
him
best
can
well
witnesse
,
and
you
will
confesse
when
you
shall
haue
heard
the
particulars
which
I
can
but
onely
point
at
.
The
Hebrew
Doctors
say
of
their
meanest
Magistrates
,
whom
they
call
the
Court
of
three
men
,
that
there
must
be
in
euery
one
of
them
these
seuen
properties
;
Wisedome
,
Meekenesse
,
The
feare
of
God
,
Hatred
of
Mammon
,
Loue
of
the
Truth
,
Loue
of
their
fellow
Creatures
;
that
is
,
of
other
men
,
and
that
they
be
men
of
good
name
;
and
these
seuen
are
indeed
the
same
in
effect
with
those
that
we
finde
mentioned
in
Exod.

and

And
did
sweetly
concurre
in
this
Man
menaging
the
affaires
of
the
Common
wealth
wherevnto
he
was
called
;
and
did
carefully
and
consciouably
discharge
.
I.
His
wisedome
.
FOr
first
his
wisedome
was
well
tryed
and
prooued
to
be
sound
in
his
singular
dexterity
to
search
into
,
and
his
happy
successe
in
putting
an
ende
,
to
such
Causes
and
Controuersies
as
were
committed
to
him
;
which
commonly
were
as
many
and
materiall
,
us
to
any
one
man
;
and
what
was
it
but
his
wisedome
and
mature
iudgement
which
made
cunning
and
crafty
Companions
,
by
all
meanes
feare
to
come
before
him
,
lest
they
should
be
detected
;
and
poore
ignorant
and
innocent
people
so
fast
to
flocke
vnto
him
,
that
they
might
be
directed
,
by
his
direction
.
II.
His
Meekenesse
.
ANd
how
could
hee
chuse
but
bee
wise
,
who
was
so
meeke
;
and
so
mildely
and
calmely
did
he
●●rry
himselfe
:
that
as
the
Heathen
Hit●ites
,
when
they
saw
Abrahams
meeke
and
milde
carriage
towards
them
;
saide
,
surely
thou
art
a
Prince
of
God
amongst
vs
:
so
stubberne
and
sturdy
Malefactors
were
almost
well
pleased
with
those
punishments
he
inflicted
vpon
them
,
so
sweetly
tempered
with
meeke
and
soft
answers
to
their
doubts
and
admonitions
for
their
well
doing
:
Thus
did
he
carefully
practise
that
precept
of
the
Apostle
;
which
as
it
concernes
all
Christians
,
so
particularly
Ministers
and
Magistrates
.

ye
which
are

restore

the
spirit

,
least
thou
also
bee
tempted

III.
His
feare
of
God
.
ANd
how
could
he
chuse
but
be
both
●ise
&
meeke
,
whose
soule
was
seasoned
with
the
fear
of
God
,
which
is
both
the
beginning
of
Salomons
Prouerbs
[
r
](A10033-e16350-b)

:
The
feare
of
the
Lord
is
the
beginning
of
wisedome
:
And
the
end
of
Salomons
preaching
[
s
](A10033-e16380-b)
s
Eccl.
12.
13
:
Heare
the
end
of
all
,
feare
God
and
keepe
his
Commandements
,
for
this
is
the
whole
man
:
without
this
I
know
not
whether
men
be
more
foolish
or
fierce
,
by
this
they
are
made
both
wise
and
meeke
,
and
for
his
feare
of
God
(
though
this
be
a
sparke
which
the
firy
eyes
of
God
can
discerne
,
the
fleshly
eyes
of
men
may
be
deceined
)
yet
those
that
knew
him
,
how
duely
and
daily
he
obserued
his
Deuotions
,
both
for
prayer
and
reading
;
How
willingly
and
feelingly
,
hee
would
conferre
of
matters
of
Religion
;
how
deepely
hee
detested
all
Poperie
and
superstition
;
how
diligently
he
frequented
the
gates
of
Gods
house
;
how
attentiuely
hee
hearkened
to
the
preaching
of
Gods
Word
,
and
for
the
helpe
of
his
memory
,
would
note
downe
many
worthy
sayings
deliuered
by
diuers
Preachers
,
which
were
found
in
his
studie
after
his
death
:
how
wisely
he
made
choyce
of
such
bookes
,
as
may
help
forward
our
mortification
,
wherein
hee
could
not
too
much
commend
Master
Perkins
Workes
,
the
Deceitfulnesse
of
the
heart
,
and
the
Practice
of
Pietie
:
must
needs
confesse
that
hee
did
indeed
truely
feare
God
IIII.
His
hatred
of
Mammon
.
COuetousnesse
&
Contentednesse
,
can
no
more
agree
together
,
then
fire
and
water
;
&
how
could
he
but
bee
content
whose
delight
was
in
the
Lord
;
which
as
Dauid
saith
,
wil
bring
a
man
his
hearts
delight
:
Godlinesse
is
great
gaine
with
contentation
,
not
if
a
man
can
bee
content
,
for
that
brings
contentation
with
it
,
wheresoeuer
it
comes
:
And
as
impossible
it
is
for
a
Godly
man
not
to
bee
contented
,
as
it
is
for
a
contented
man
to
be
couetous
;
his
feare
of
God
therefore
frees
him
from
this
breeding
sinne
of
couetousnesse
:
Couetousnesse
is
cruell
,
so
was
not
hee
;
but
kind
hearted
towards
all
.
What
Tenant
can
complaine
that
hee
did
ouer
rack
their
rents
?
what
neighbour
can
iustly
accuse
him
that
hee
did
ouer-beare
them
in
their
right
?
or
ouer-burden
them
with
his
might
?
Couetousnesse
is
alwaies
complaining
of
some
thing
that
it
wants
;
so
was
not
hee
,
but
most
thankefully
acknowledged
Gods
goodnesse
for
that
hee
had
.
Couetousnesse
keepes
no
hospitality
,
hee
did
;
and
that
not
onely
vpon
good
dayes
,
like
some
that
will
kill
an
Oxe
or
two
at
Christ-tide
,
that
scarce
kill
a
Sheepe
all
the
yeare
after
:
but
all
the
yeare
long
,
yea
many
yeares
together
,
without
euer
seeking
to
liue
in
some
corner
of
a
City
to
saue
charges
,
as
too
many
far
more
able
then
he
,
daily
doe
.
Couetousnesse
is
●unning
and
crafty
,
so
was
not
hee
;
but
like
a
true
Nathaniel
in
whom
there
was
no
guile
;
hee
louing
nothing
better
in
others
,
nor
practised
nothing
more
carefully
in
himselfe
,
then
plaine
downe-right
honest
dealing
.
V.
His
loue
of
the
Truth
.
ANd
this
is
not
ouely
the
worde
of
truth
,
as
the
Gospell
is
called
;
as
heere
it
is
taken
,
that
is
,
true
dealing
both
in
word
and
deed
.
Hee
who
knew
that
Dauid
would
not
endure
a
lyer
to
tarry
in
his
sight
,
and
that
God
will
not
suffer
a
lyer
to
come
in
his
kingdome
,
made
it
his
Christian
〈◊〉
that
neither
his
tongue
might
belie
his
heart
by
speaking
otherwise
then
he
thought
;
nor
his
hands
belie
his
tongue
,
by
doing
otherwise
then
hee
spake
.
Li●
not
one
to
another
,
saith
the
Apostle
[
t
](A10033-e16700-b)
t
Eph.
4.
:
for
you
are
members
one
of
another
.
VI.
His
loue
.
ANd
indeed
such
was
his
loue
to
his
fellow
members
,
that
he
took
as
tenderly
what
did
touch
them
,
as
if
himselfe
had
felt
it
;
his
sympathie
&
fellow-seeling
of
his
brethrens
wrongs
,
made
him
ready
to
heare
any
poore
mans
complaint
,
and
to
helpe
them
if
hee
could
:
sometimes
speaking
for
them
,
sometimes
writing
for
them
with
his
owne
hand
;
alwayes
in
his
heart
pittying
the
poore
and
oppressed
.
Hee
knew
how
fatall
it
is
for
members
of
the
same
bododie
to
fall
out
amongst
themselues
,
and
therefore
hee
was
alwaies
busie
in
that
blessed
worke
of
making
peace
:
Composing
controuersies
,
and
ending
sutes
of
Law
;
sometimes
by
faire
words
,
intreating
;
sometimes
by
giuing
counsell
,
aduising
;
sometimes
by
plaine
and
and
pregnant
places
of
Scripture
,
conuincing
the
wilfull
:
there
were
not
many
dayes
in
the
whole
yeare
(
excepting
the
Sabbath
)
wherein
hee
was
not
sought
vnto
:
and
many
times
would
hee
sit
from
morning
till
night
,
hearing
and
examining
such
matters
as
came
before
him
,
being
demanded
by
some
why
hee
would
sit
so
long
,
so
tyring
out
himselfe
,
spending
his
spirits
,
and
endangering
his
health
:
his
answer
was
,
that
by
his
place
and
calling
,
and
good
of
his
countrey
hee
was
to
doe
it
:
and
for
himselfe
hee
said
hee
was
as
a
Candle
,
wasting
himselfe
,
to
giue
light
to
others
;
disquieting
himselfe
,
to
quiet
others
;
and
troubling
himselfe
,
to
free
others
from
trouble
.
To
conclude
,
this
particular
,
there
are
more
then
many
that
can
witnesse
,
that
as
it
was
said
of
Iob
[
u
](A10033-e16770-b)
u
Iob
24
,
15
16.
:
so
wee
may
say
of
him
,
that
he
was
eyes
to
the
blind
,
feet
to
the
lame
,
a
father
to
the
poore
,
and
a
friend
to
all
.
Finally
,
for
his
good
name
,
the
sweet
sauour
of
it
spread
it selfe
further
then
himselfe
was
knowne
,
and
begins
now
after
his
death
to
grow
stronger
and
stronger
.
Iacobs
body
was
neuer
embalmed
with
so
sweet
spices
,
as
this
mans
name
and
memory
is
seasoned
with
the
sauour
of
his
vertues
;
and
euer
shall
be
honoured
with
variety
of
fresh
praises
,
which
not
only
his
godly
life
which
you
haue
heard
,
but
his
gracious
death
which
in
a
word
you
shall
heare
,
will
alwaies
afford
.
It
is
the
nature
of
naturall
motions
,
that
the
nearer
they
come
to
their
end
,
the
swifter
they
are
:
surely
we
may
easily
imagine
that
this
mans
motion
to
heauen
was
come
naturally
;
such
haste
he
did
make
thither
,
now
towardes
his
end
.
Hence
it
was
that
he
professed
that
he
was
wearie
of
this
world
,
wherein
he
neuer
found
any
sound
comfort
or
content
:
that
hee
was
desirous
to
goe
to
his
owne
home
,
for
here
hee
sayde
,
he
was
but
a
stranger
and
pilgrim
;
not
long
before
he
fell
a
sleep
,
he
cited
two
verses
of
the
39.
Psalme
.
The
words
are
these
,
Heare
my
prayer
O
Lord
,
and
hearken
vnto
my
cry
,
keepe
not
silence
at
my
teares
(
and
with
those
wordes
wept
)
for
I
am
a
stranger
with
thee
,
and
a
saiourner
as
all
my
fathers
were
,
stay
thine
anger
from
me
,
that
I
may
recouer
strength
before
I
goe
hence
,
and
bee
no
more
seene
:
What
shal
I
say
of
his
humble
Confession
,
that
hee
was
a
great
sinner
,
his
strong
Considence
in
Christ
his
Sauiour
,
that
sweete
peace
of
conscience
which
hee
did
finde
in
his
foule
,
by
the
assured
remission
of
his
sins
,
and
that
infallible
assurance
of
saluation
,
that
hee
should
l●●e
for
euer
with
God
:
of
which
,
and
other
points
he
sweetly
discoursed
fiue
dayes
before
his
death
,
not
without
sighes
and
teares
,
the
true
messengers
and
best
Orat●rs
of
a
penitent
soule
.
Thus
might
he
at
his
death
make
as
bolde
a
profession
as
that
good
Bishop
:
I
haue
so
liued
,
that
I
am
neither
affraid
to
die
quickly
,
nor
ashamed
to
liue
l●nger
:
hee
need
not
indeed
,
for
a
good
life
is
the
forerunner
of
a
good
death
:
As
I●r●●
saith
,
I
haue
not
read
nor
heard
,
but
that
hee
who
liued
well
,
died
well
.
Thus
wee
know
this
Worshipfull
Knight
,
and
worthy
Gouernour
in
his
Country
liued
;
and
thus
,
we
doubt
not
but
he
died
in
the
Lord
,
and
liueth
with
the
Lord
.
The
Lord
grant
vs
all
grace
to
liue
and
die
in
him
,
Amen
.
