It
had
beene
more
milde
,
if
,
as
in
Leuiticus
,
I
will
punish
:
or
in
Deuteronomy
,
I
will
correct
:
or
in
the
Reuelation
,
I
will
chastise
.
But
who
is
able
to
beare
his

?
who
is
able
to
stand
before
him
if
he
be
angry
?
by
the

of

wee
are
cut

I
will

,

the

had
serued
;
how
long
wilt
thou
proceed
in

against

of

But
the
stroke
is
greater
,
more
grieuous
,
it
is
falne
vpon
the
shepheard
,
the
guider
,
the
glory
,
the
Prince
of
the
people
:
I
will
smite
the
shepheard
.
And
the
sheepe
shall
be
scattered
:
his
poore
followers
haue
no
better
phrase
then
the

If

misery
then

collect
out

:

vpon

cut
away
the
lappe

Dauid
did
by

it
is
a

example
,
that
hee
proceedeth

There
were

ages
of

,
in

the
people
continued
sinfull
:
the
iudgements
expected
were
fearefull
.
In
the
first
age
of
the
Patriarkes
,
he
promised
a
blessing
to
their
posteritie
:
in
the
second
age
,
of
Iudges
,
he
setled
their
Common-wealth
and

in
the
third
age
,
of
Kings
,
he
built
them
a
Citie
to
dwell
in
:
in
the
fourth
,
of
Prophets
,
he
built
them
a
temple
to
pray
in
:
hee
might
haue
blasted
them
in
their
Spring
,
but
he
suffereth
them
to
come
to
their
Autumne
;
nay
further
,
hee
endured
them

loosenesse
brought
them

First
The
obseruation
collected
from
the
words
I
will

,
is
this
,
that
in
all
iudgements
we
ought
truly
to
iudge
of
the
true
author
:
he
that
being
asked
his
name
by
Moses
,
answered
,
I
am
that
I
am
;

he
it
is
that
afterwards
threatens
,
I
will
bring
famine
;
I
will
bring
the
sword
;
I
will
bring
the
pestilence
.
In
the
ten
plagues
of

;
in
the
beginning
of

words
be
,

thou

I
may
vrge
this

of
my

vnto
them
who
neuer
looking
vp
to

vnresistable

,
doe
complaine
that
eyther
the

or

,
shipwrackt
all

I

neither

I

so

as

But
when

no

cure

vpon

of

Whatsoeuer
the
second
causes
be
,
yet
the
supreme
rule
of
all
is
in
Gods
hand
.
But
while
I
am
thus
informing
others
,
my
owne
soule
becomes
a
sceptick
,
and
questions
thus
:
Could
God
forget
to
be
gratious
?
would
he
in
displeasure
so
smite
Him
,
that
was
our
ioy
&
hope
?
Yes
,
that
he
might
more
fully
settle
our
hope
vpon
the
true
obiect
,
God
himselfe
.
But
would
he
,
so
smite
as
to
take
him
away
in
the
Sunne-shine
of
his
time
?
yes
,
that
he
might
bestow
farre
greater
brightnesse
vpon
him
.
Alas
,
he
was
in
the
flower
and
splendor
of
his
youth
:
he
was
lesse
taynted
,
lesse
blemished
.
His
death
was
the
vndoing
of
many
his
poore
seruants
:
but
God
is
able
to
prouide
for
them
better
then
he
could
:
Psal.
37.
Let
them
trust
in
the
Lord
,
and
verily
they
shall
be
fed
.
He
was
taken
away
in
this
solemne
expectation
of
Nuptiall-ioy
and
triumph
:
He
is
gone
to
greater
ioy
,
to
the
Marriage
of
the
Lambe
;
to
those
ioyes
,
triumphs
,
Angels
Quire
&
Songs
,
to
which
no
burden
,
nor
no
end
belongs
.
He
was
taken
away
,
as
it
were
somewhat
sodainly
,
and
vnexpectedly
;
yet
not
so
sodainely
as
the
fiery
enemies
of
God
and
the
King
entended
in
that
furious
sulphureous
plot
to
haue
blowne
him
vp
:

King

23.
neither
so
sodainely
as
Iosias
the
dearling
of
God
,
who
had
no
more
warning
then
while
an
arrow
made
a
doore
in
his
breast
for
Death
.
2
Chro.
35.20
.
But
our
Iosias
was
taken
away
in
a
seasonable
,
comfortable
visitation
,
when
he
was
full
of
beautie
,
full
of
glory
,
full
of
pietie
,
full
of
Religion
,
full
of
admiration
,
full
of
lamentation
.
Beloued
,
in
a
word
,
as
the
Apostle
speaketh
;
Comfort
your selues
,
one
another
,
with
these
words
:
Iob

Ionas

The
Lord
gaue
him
,
and
the
Lord
hath
taken
him
:
and
as
Ionas
Marriners
acknowledge
;
Thou
O
Lord
hast
done
as
it
pleased
thee
.
(
As
it
followeth
)
Thou
hast
smitten
the
Shepheard
.
Cir.

To
haue
smit
a
Wolfe
,
deuouring
the
sheepe
,
had
bin
mercy
;
to
haue
smitten
one
sheepe
of
the
fold
had
bin
iudgement
with
mercy
,
but
to
smite
the
shepheard
may
seeme
iudgement
and
fury
.
In
this
houre
&
time
of
mourning
,
now
we
sit
as
in
the
shadow
of
death
;
it
is
fitter
for
you
to
feed
on
the
tree
of
life
,
then
on
the
tree
of
knowledge
,
&
therefore
I
desire
to
confine
my
speech
only
vpon
meditation
;
but
the
word
shepheard
leades
me
forth
further
then
I
thought
,
besides
the
waters
of
comfort
.
A
shepheard
was
the
first
tradesman
;
though
the
second
son
of
all
the
children
of
Adam
;
Gen.
4.2
.
and
after
Abel
many
shepheards
were
in
neer
attendance
vpon
God

In
the
beginning
after
the
creation
,
in
the
olde
Testament
,
God
chose
shepherds
to
be
his
seruants
.
In
the
beginning
of
the
time
of
redemption
,
in
the
new
Testament
,
Christ
chose
fishers
to
be
his
disciples
:
shepherds
haue
a
solitary
life
;
fishermen
a
watry
life
.
In
shepherds
the
ancients
haue
hierogkiphically
obserued
contemplation
,
in
fishermen
lamentation
.
A

saith

is
praeludium
ad

;
of
which
phrase
Homer
and
other
Grecians
haue
made
vse
:
and
the
old
Testament
hath
none
of
more
esteeme
then
shepherds
.
Moses
,
that

;
Iacob

that

;
Ioseph
was
sent
to

;
Amos

,
taken
from

;
Moses
a

taken

Elias

the

,
and
you

what
the

of
Elias
was
,
yet
he
taken
from

But
more
then
this
,
God
the
Father
is
called
a
shepherd
in
the
Psalmes
;
Psal.
80.1
.
Ioh.
10.11
.
O
thou
shepherd
of
Israell
,
thou
that
leadest
Ioseph
like
a
sheepe
.
God
the
Son
doth
name
himselfe
a
shepheard
in
the
Gospell
:
God
the
holy

,
is
named
a
shepheard
in

I

so
farre

onely
to
shew
in
what
honor
the
name
,

,

of
shepheards
haue
beene
:
you
may
the
more
wonder

the
words

Abel

He
that
was

,
the
fairest
of
ten
thousand
;
full
of
grace
were
his
lips
;
spetiosus
suae
filijs
hominum
:
he
whose
head
was
fine
as
gold
,
whose
lockes
were
curled
,
who
had
cheekes
as
a
bed
of
spices
,
lips
like
lillies
,
hands
as
rings
of
Crysolites
,
legges
as
pillars
of
marble
,
whose
countenance
was
as
Lebanon
,
whose
mouth
as
sweete

;
who
was
wholly
delectable
:
O
my
God
;
is

yes

and
smitten

such
a
deadly

Sorrow
followed
him
from

to

In
his

persecuted
by
Tyrants
;
in
his

tempted

The
obseruation
hence
is
,
that
the
great
height
of
sinnes
,
bring
downe
so
heauy
weight
of

,
as
that

will
not

,
his

,
his

his

what

Not

hee

it
reeles

almost
ouerwhelmes

with
the
dart

strikes
into
the

of
a

by
taking
away
the

communicated

so
these

after

,
&
Salomon
his

for
his

,
exceeded
his

Dauid
,

.
10
yet
euery
one
of
these
had
some
scarre
,
some
blots
,
some
blemishes
,
an
eclipticke
line
ranne
through
each
of
their
Zodiackes
;
onely
Iosias
is
without
any
noted
spot
or
wrinckle
;
like
him
was
no
king
before
him
.
What
then
was
the
reason
that
this
Rose
of
the
garland
must
be
blasted
;
the
diamond
of
the
Crowne
be
darkened
;
the
Paragon
of
all
the
Kings
of
Israel
and
Iudah
must
be
smitten
;
that
percutiam
,
the
word
of
my
Text
,
serued
his
execution
so
violently
vpon
Iosias
?
Why
would
he
that
breaketh
the
bow
,
Psalme
.
knappeth
the
speare
in
sunder
,
&
casteth
the
arrowes
in

,
I
say
,
why
would
he
let
the
Archers
shoot
at
King
Iosias
?

It
was
the
voyce
of
the
King
of
Aram
to
his
Captaines
,
concerning
wicked
King
Ahab
,
fight
ye
neither
against
great
nor
small
,
but
against
the
King
;
but
that
the
Lord
should
direct
that
fatall
arrow
to
be
the
death
of
his
darling
Iosias
,
this
arrow
strikes
vs
with
admiration
.
I
cannot
but
beare
part
with
those
mourners
in
Megiddo
;
Alas
for
this
great
day
,
Alas
for
that
good
Prince
,
Alas
that
Iosias
is
smitten
.
When
Dauid
numbred
the
people
,
the
people
dyed
,
they
suffered
for
his
sinne
,
1

plectuntur
Achiui
;
and
Dauid
cryeth
,
What
haue
they
done
?
it
is
euen
I
that
haue
sinned
,
Is
it
not
I
that
haue
commanded
to
number
the
people
?
but
these
sheepe
what
haue
they
done
?
O
Lord
my
God
,
I
beseech
thee
,
let
thine
hand
be
on
me
,
and
on
my
fathers
house
,
and
not
on
thy
people
for
their
destruction
.
There
the
people
were
plagued
for
the
offence
of
the
Prince
,
but
heere
the
Prince
is
smitten
for
the
offence
of
the
people
.
I
finde
especially
two
causes
why
Iosias
was
smitten
.
First
,
for
the
sinnes
of
the
time
:
The
first
cause
of
the
death
of
Iosias
.
the
sinnes
of
those
dayes
I
collect
out
of
Zephany
,
to
be
strange
and
horride
.
In
the
front
of
the
Prophecie
you
may
see
that
he
prophesied
in
the
dayes
of
Iosias
:
Zeph.
1.1
.
in
the
second
verse
of
that
Chapter
there
is
a
fearefull
destruction
pronounced
;
such
as
in
so
few
wordes
,
is
not
to
be
found
in
all
the
Prophets
.
It
is
a
generall
obseruation
,
that
where
we
heare
some
strange
desolation
threatned
,
there
is
some
strange
abhomination
committed
.
Obserue
both
here
:
first
the
desolation
thretned
;
I
will
surely
destroy
all
things
from
the
Land
,
Zeph.
1.1.2
saith
the
Lord
:
I
will
destroy
man
and
beast
;
I
will
destroy
the
fowles
of
the
heauen
,
and
the
fishes
of
the
sea
,
and
ruines
shall
be
to
the
wicked
,
and
I
will
cut
off
man
from
the
land
,
saith
the
Lord
,
&c.
It
is
so
terrible
,
as
if
that
in
the
Psalm
were
fulfilled
,
Destructions
are
come
to
a
perpetuall
end
:
Psalm.
9.
a
deluge
and
Cataclisme
,
a
deuastation
&
desolation
vnspeakable
.
The
greatest
plagues
that
euer
came
on
the
world
were
either
the
particular
,
in
the
Iudgements
on
Egipt
;
or
the
generall
,
in
the
drowning
of
the
World
.
In
Egipt
,
beside●
flyes
,
and
lice
,
and
frogs
,
and
darknesse
,
there
was
the
killing
of
the
first-borne
,
Murraine
of
Beasts
,
death
of
Fishes
,
by
the
water
turned
into
bloud
;
but
I
find
no
where
that
their
fowle
of
heauen
were
destroyed
:
In
the
drowning
of
the
World
,
all
mankinde
was
not
destroyed
,
eight
Soules
were
preserued
,
and
although
the
beasts
of
the
field
,
and
fowles
of
the
ayre
perished
,
yet
I
can
no
way
collect
the
destruction
of
the
fishes
;
those
watry
creatures
kept
their
Colonyes
.
In
Egipt
,
beasts
and
fishes
were
destroyed
,
not
the
fowles
:
In
the
floud
,
beasts
and
fowles
,
not
the
fishes
;
but
in
this
,
Man
and
Beast
,
Fish
and
Fowle
,
all
things
threatned
to
be
destroyed
from
the
earth
.
Secondly
therefore
consider
the
abhomination
committed
in
those
times
;
you
may
at
first
sight
collect
them
out
of
the
following
verses
.
In
the
4.
verse
,
Zeph.
1.4.1
.
there
was
a
remnant
of
Baall
in
the
land
,
resembling
our
Papists
.
Secondly
,
Priests
and
Chemarims
,
fit
parallels
to
our
Priests
and
Iesuits
.
Verse
5
Thirdly
,
in
the
5.
verse
,
there
were
some
that
sware
by
the
Lord
,
and
sware
by
Malcham
,
equalling
the
false-harted
,
halfe
hollow-harted
Hipocrites
of
two
Religions
in
these
dayes
.
Verse
6
Fourthly
,
in
the
6.
verse
,
some
that
turned
backe
from
the
Lord
,
like
to
our
Ephraimitall
Apostaticall
reuolters
.
Fiftly
,
some
that
sought
not
the
Lord
,
nor
inquired
after
him
,
shadowing
the
Atheists
of
our
land
.
Verse
8
Sixtly
,
in
the
8.
verse
,
such
as
were
cloathed
with
strange
apparell
,
the
characters
of
the
guls
and
gallants
of
our
dayes
.
Verse
9
In
the
9.
verse
,
some
that
daunced
vpon
the
threshold
so
proudly
;
the
note
of
the
quaint
Crane-paced
Courtiers
of
this
time
.
Lastly
,
those
that
filled
houses
by
cruelty
and
deceit
;
the
brand
of
the
sinfull
and
couetous
Citizens
of
this
Citie
.
Now
measure
with
the
cubit
of
the
Sanctuary
,
whether
desolation
be
not
fitted
to
abhomination
.
Runne
to
and
fro
through
the
streete
of
that
Chapter
,
and
see
,
and
heare
,
and
feare
,
and
tremble
:
Sinnes
were
the
cause
of
that
threatned
destruction
,
sinnes
were
the
Cart-ropes
,
Engines
,
Pioners
,
the
Earthquakes
,
Whirlewindes
,
Thunderbolts
,
finall
downefall
and
funerall
,
and
deuastation
of
that
State
.
In
the
time
of
the
Iudges
,
Iudg.
20.44
.
the
Lord
almost
extinguished
the
Tribe
of
Beniamin
,
eighteen
thousand
at
one
time
.
1
King
●2
.
In
the
time
of
the
Kings
ten
Tribes
fell
from
Israell
.
But
this
misery
is
more
;
Roote
and
Branch
,
head
and
tayle
,
as
the
Prophet
sore-told
,
Man
,
Beast
,
Fish
,
and
fowle
are
destroyed
.
For
sinnes
he
doth
stretch
out
his
hand
vpon
Iudah
,
and
vpon
all
the
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem
:
for
sinnes
he
doth
worry
the
Sheepe
,
and
smite
the
Shepheard
.
This
is
the
first
reason
why
Iosias
is
smitten
.
The
second
cause
of
smiting
Iosias
.
The
second
reason
that
Iosias
was
smitten
,
was
,
that
hee
might
not
see
the
misery
threatned
to
be
brought
vpon
Israell
;
his
eyes
should
not
see
that
euill
.
Euill
must
come
but
not
in
the
dayes
of
Iosias
.
The
word
of
the
Lord
is
good
,
(
saith
Hezekias
)
onely
let
peace
be
in
my
dayes
.
The
Israelites
must
be
bond-slaues
in
the
land
of
Egipt
,

.
but
not
till
the
Patriarkes
sleepe
in
peace
.
Tenne
Tribes
shall
be
diuided
from

,
yet
Salomons

shall

destroyed
,
but
not
till
they
who
mourne
in
Zyon
be
marked
.

Certo

Seneca
.
It
was
a
speech
that
commands
admiration
from
vs
,
that
God
should
say
to
Lot
,
Get
thee
hence
;
I
can
doe
nothing
till
thou
art
gone
hence
.
Was
the
power
of
God
limited
by
himselfe
?
he
did
actiuely
limit
his
power
,
it
was
not
passiuely
limitted
by
Lot
;
God
did
limit
his
wil
;
Genesis
.
or
rather
,
both
were
determinated
,
then
limited
or
terminated
.
It
exceedes
our
thoughts
that
he
in
so
fauourable
a
Compassion
will
forbeare
,
for
his
loue
to
some
particular
Seruant
,
the
great
wrath
he
hath
laid
vp
in
store
for
a
Nation
.
Gen.

Gen.
30.27
.
He
doth
not
onely
blesse
Potiphar
for
Ioseph
,
and
Laban
for
Iacob
,
but
hold
his
hand
,
stay
his
Vials
,
forbeare
his
vengeance
vpon
Israel
for
Iosias
sake
;
holy
and
reuerend
be
his
name
for
euer
.
I
haue
numbred
and
weighed
the
words
hastily
,
and
in
the
Scales
of
sighes
and
sorrow
;
let
vs
see
what
measure
of
them
commeth
to
our
share
.
Vse
.
And
first
,
was
sinne
the
cause
of
smiting
the
Shepheard
?
Indeede
,
Sinne
is
the
ouerthrow
of
Iudgement
,
the
staine
of
Conscience
,
the
roote
of
all
peruersitie
,
infection
of
all
actions
&
affections
:
but
is
it
so
harmefull
to
vs
,
so
hatefull
to
him
,
that
is
,
the
all-seeing
,
all-being
,
all-pure
and
sacred
Maiestie
,
that
not
onely
his
owne
Sonne
,
blessed
for
euer
and
euer
,
was
smitten
,
Esay
.
propter
scelus
populi
,
as
Esay
speaketh
;
but
also
those
excellent
,
and
choise
,
and
blessed
Instruments
of
his
glory
,
Kings
and
Princes
,
are
often-times
taken
away
for
the
sins
of
the
people
?
Let
vs
all
then
looke
into
the
Calender
of
these
dayes
,
wee
haue
seene
,
and
found
,
and
felt
their
effects
;
and
let
vs
obserue
whether
the
sinnes
of
this
Land
,
and
especially
this
Citie
and
Court
,
be
not
equall
to
any
of
any
Land
:
see
whether
the
sins
now
be
culpable
,
or
damnable
,
winckt
at
onely
by
the
eyes
of
men
,
or
crying
in
the
eares
of
Heauen
.
You
shall
finde
them
to
be
aspiring
,
mounting
,
towring
sinnes
:
Sinnes
of
the
highest
eleuation
;
and
those
sins
now
committed
,
which
in
times
past
durst
not
be
named
.
Men
like
women
,
women
like
Diuels
,
common
;
to
salute
and
stab
,
kisse
and
betray
,
common
;
cheating
,
whoring
,
drinking
,
swearing
as
common
as
breathing
.
Neuer
were
such
varnishes
put
vpon
rotten
causes
,
or
Lawes
made
such
quirkes
for
mercenary
wits
;
or
goodnes
so
deformed
,
Iustice
so
guilty
,
Vertue
so
needy
,
Religion
so
scorned
,
or
Whoredome
so
painted
.
In
a
word
,
to
let
passe
the
Couetousnesse
of
the
rich
,
idlenesse
of
the
poore
,
want
of
age
,
wantonnesse
of
youth
,
prophanenesse
of
all
;
I
aske
the
honest
Religious
Soule
that
mourneth
for
the
misery
of
Zyon
.
Is
it
not
strange
that
after
so
long
preaching
of
the
Gospel
,
there
should
be
such
an
inundation
of
Popery
,
this
generation
of
Vipers
seeming
to
multiply
in
our
time
,
as
the
Arrians
did
encrease
in
the
time
of
the
ancient
Fathers
,
who
preached
and
wrote
against
them
?
Ezekiels
Prophecie
may
seeme
fulfilled
,
the
Idol
of
indignation
is
among
vs
;
there
be
some
Ancient
Idolaters
,
some
idolatrous
women
,
some
idolatrous
Priests
in
our
Land
.
These
be
causes
why
our
Iosias
was
smitten
:
our
sinnes
opened
that
Vena
Basilica
.
Secondly
,
would
no
other
Sacrifice
serue
,
but
the
death
of
Iosias
?
No.
Zeph.
1.7.8
The
former
Prophet
Zephany
maketh
it
plaine
,
in
his
1.
Chapter
7.
and
8
verses
.
The
Lord
hath
prepared
a
Sacrifice
,
and
in
that
day
of
the
Lords
Sacrifice
he
will
visit
the
Princes
,
and
the
Kings
Children
.
No
other
sacrifice
will
serue
but
the
branches
of
the
Oliue
tree
,
the
blossomes
of
the
Figge
tree
,
the
beautifull
young
Cedar
,
the
glory
of
the
Forrest
,
the
beauty
of
the
Garland
,
the
Coronet
of
succession
,
the
Patron
of
Religion
,
the
ioy
of
the
olde
,
hope
of
young
,
comfort
of
all
.
Nothing
would
serue
but
that
precious
Iewell
,
which
Nature
only
shewed
the
world
,
and
so
put
vp
againe
,
that
happy
New
Starre
,
new
eye
of
Heauen
,
of
whose
station
and
influence
while
we
argued
,
it
went
out
againe
.
Nothing
must
serue
but
Iosias
?
Si
sic
in
viridi
,
quid
fiet
in
arido
?
what
shall
become
of
the
negligent
,
ignorant
,
windy
,
emptie
,
shadowy
Creatures
,
who
liue
to
eate
,
and
eate
to
play
the
Beasts
?
He
was
taken
from
the
euill
to
come
vpon
such
,
to
the
ioy
he
enioyes
:
Hee
is
gone
to
rest
with
more
tokens
of
Gods
fauour
then
euer
Iosias
had
,
his
precious
Soule
is
bathed
in
the
precious
bloud
of
his
blessed
Sauiour
;
Patience
did
here
comfort
him
;
Confidence
did
hence
crowne
him
;
annointed
Cherub
,
blessed
Angell
,
gracious
Master
,
thou
art
now
in
glory
,
though
wee
poore
scattered
sheepe
haue
lost
thee
.
Teares
blind
me
,
and
sighes
chooke
,
and
here
I
cease
;
sorrow
doth
silence
me
.
Correct

no
more
in
thy
fury
O
Lord
,
let
not
thine
arrowes
sticke
so
fast
in
vs
,
northy
hand
presse
vs
so
down
,
lest
we
be
consumed
,
and
brought
to
nothing
.
Magnifie
thy
arme
of
Mercy
,
as
thou
hast
exalted
thine
arme
of
Iudgement
:
and
let
neuer
the
like

weighty

that
in

Moses

cryeth

There

will

,
it
is
(
miserable

I
say
,
it
is
our
case
;
Wrath
is
gone
from
the
Lord
,
the

is
begun
.
Now
is
a
time
of
mourning

of
cloathing

in

ashes
;
nay
,
in
dust

in

as
we
spent

so
wee
may
spend

Is
not
wrath
come

,
when
our
Lilly
of

is
blasted
;
our
Rose
of

is
blemished

I
say
not

We

we

seene

;
the
breath

the

is
taken

our

is
turned

My

doth
epitomize
what
euer
my
sorrow
can
conuince
;
The
Shepherd
is
smitten
,
and
the
sheepe
of

I
haue
gathered
so
much
dew
of
Meditation
from
the
first
part
,
as
a
day
and
night
could
yeeld
my
sorrowfull
head
and
heart
to
receiue
:
that
was
our
Maisters
part
;
this
next
ours
;
The
sheepe
shall
be
scattered
.
In
speaking
whereof
,
as
that
wonder
of
misery
,
the
vnhappy
Mother
in
the
besiege
of
Ierusalem
,
hauing
eaten
one
part
of
her
Childe
,
could
not
thinke
of
eating
the
other
without
vnspeakeable
sorrow
;
so
assure
your selues
,
my
sobs
and
throbs
,
and
throwes
will
be
many
,
before
I
am
deliuered
of

which
will
part

Silly

innocent

quietly
feeding
in
the
Field

hearing
the
voyce
of
the

,
yet
fearing
their
rauenous
Enemies
,
though
they
be
together
,
though
they
haue
both
a

but
when
they

their
case
is
more
miserable
,
hauing
no

,
no

no

Put
both

then
you
will
say
,
this

our

is
the

that
the

Secondly
,
the
dispersion
of
these

they
shall
be
scattered

And
first
,

whom
in

he
calleth

yet
it
is
but
pusillus

,
a
little
little
flocke
;
little
indeed
,
because
so
few
,
the
number
but
twelue
,
as
of

,
as
of
the
twelue
Tribes

twelue

twelue

twelue

Wolues

It
was
the
last
Sermon
that
euer
Christ
preached
on
earth
to
his
Disciples
;
it
was
as
his
farewell
,
the
night
before
he
suffred
:
the
last
glimpse
of
a
Candle
is
often
most
bright
;
the
last
glance
and
lustre
of
the
Sunne
somtimes
most
cleere
.
They
should
now
haue
expected
some
ioyfull
newes
;
all
their
life
before
was
sorrowfull
,
now
they
might
looke
for
some
Legacie
,
that
Christ
would
haue
blessed
them
,
as
old
Iacob
did
.
But
our
Sauiour
,
who
had
formerly
told
them
there
was
no
comfort
for
them
in
the
world
,
because
they
were
not
of
the
world
;
that
they
were
but
as
sheepe
among
Wolues
,
giueth
them
no
other
title
in
his
last
Legacie
but
sheepe
.

Whence
this
obseruation
ariseth
,
that
the
seruants
of
Christ
ought
to
be
cleane
,
quiet
,
simple
,
and
peaceable
in
the
world
;
for
they
are
but
sheepe
.
Origen
.
In
sheepe
saith
Origen
is
described
Cogitationum
munditia
;
cleane
,
honest
,
sanctified
cogitations
ought
to
be
in
Christs
seruants
.
In
sheepe
,
saith
Gregory
,
is
obserued
Actionum
innocentia
;
Greg.
righteous
,
religious
,
innocentactions
ought
to
proceede
from
Christs
sheepe
.
I
could
multiply
and
increase
fathers
&
sonnes
for
the
manifestation
of
this
point
,
but
this
onely
reason
shall
serue
,
Christ
himselfe
was
such
a
sheepe
,
and
therefore
such
ought
we
to
be
.
He
was
not
ouis
,
but
tanquam
ouis
,
for
he
was
agnus
Dei
,
saith
Lorinus
.

Christ
indeede
was
so
,
and
neuer
any
other
so
.
Which
is
easily
made
plaine
;
for
though
wee
should
not
speake
without
admiration
,
nor
thinke
without
adoration
of
all
the
mysteries
of
our
Redemption
:
yet
in
the
deepe
well
of
this
mysterie
,
euen
hee
that
hath
nothing
to
draw
,
may
vnderstand
it
.
As
in
the
Kingly
,
Priestly
,
Propheticall
offices
of
Christ
,
hee
did
communicate
two
of
those
offices
to
some
,
but
neuer
all
the
three
to
any
.
Melchisedech
was
a
King
and
Priest
not
a
Prophet
:
Moyses
was
a
Priest
and
Prophet
,
as
the
Psalme
speaketh
,
Moyses
among
his
Priests
,
but
was
not
a
King
:
Dauid
was
a
King
and
Prophet
,
but
not
a
Priest
.
So
the
same
Dauid
was
a
shepheard
,
Psal.
78.72
.
and
a
sheep
,
Psal.
78.72
Psal.
119.176
.
but
he
was
neuer
called
a
Lambe
,
Psal.
119.176
.
this
name
was
neuer
giuen
to
any
but
to
our
Sauiour
,
vntill
the
day
of
his
Ascention
,
when
he
commanded
Peter
to
feed
his
Lambes
:
and
yet
not
they
neither
were
called
lambes
in
the
same
sense
and
meaning
that
our
Sauiour
was
.
It
is
obserued
,
Gen.
49.
in
the
Emblematicall
blessings
,
that
Iacob
left
his
children
,
Iudah
as
a
Lyon
,
Dan
as
a
Serpent
,
Issachar
an
Asse
,
Nepthali
a
Hinde
,
&c.
hee
giueth
none
the
motto
tanquam
ouis
,
none
of
them
is
called
a
sheep
,
or
a
lambe
,
and
yet
out
of
Iuda
,
whose
Embleme
was
the
Lyon
,
Christ
came
,
who
was
both
the
Lyon
&
the
Lambe
.
Our
Sauiour
in
the
two
Sacraments
of
Baptisme
and
the
Lords
supper
,
among
other
miracles
,
wrought
these
two
:
he
blessed
the
fowles
of
heauen
in
Baptisme
by
the
Doue
that
descended
on
him
:
hee
blessed
the
beasts
of
the
field
in
the
Paschall
lambe
,
at
the
last
supper
eaten
by
him
.
But
the
vnspeakable
blessing
whereby
he
hath
blessed
not
onely
his
Disciples
,
Chrisost.
and
their
successors
,
but
all
his
seruants
,
is
this
,
that
they
are
his
flocke
,
his
fowle
,
his
lambes
,
and
his
sheepe
.
Vse
.
1
Is
it
so
then
?
be
the
seruants
of
Christ
his
sheepe
?
First
then
,
how
ought
they
to
liue
,
an
honest
,
simple
,
innocent
life
in
these
last
and
worst
,
and
abominable
dayes
?
Christ
was
the
Lambe
,
and
he
hath
left
vs
an
example
to
follow
his
steps
,

Pet.

as
S.
Peter
exhorteth
:
but
alas
how
farre
are
we
from
his
example
,
from
his
steps
?
Passibus
aequis
none
can
follow
him
I
confesse
,
were
all
the
righteous
spirits
of
the
Patriarkes
,
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
Martyrs
and
Saints
put
together
in
one
man
,
yet
it
were
impossible
to
follow
him
with
equal
paces
.
I
will
not
prescribe
his
misery
,
his
pouerty
to
you
;
I
know
you
will
not
follow
it
;
you
esteeme
it
a
heauy
yoke
,
his
misery
,
his
pouerty
,
was
vnsupportable
;
he
was
Lord
of
all
things
,
yet
inioyed
nothing
;
he
had
not
a
house
to
be
borne
in
,
he
borrowed
a
stable
;
not
a
bed
to
be
laid
in
,
he
borrowed
a

;
not

vessell
to

in
,
he
borrowed
a

;
not
a

to

his

in

he
borrowed
a

;
not
a
graue
to

he

I
doe
not
forbeare
to
presse
the
imitation
of
this
:
I
prescribe
his

;

imitate
this
.
Cum
Virginis
filio

luxuria
:
Chastity
becomes
his
sheepe
.
I
prescribed
his
charitie
;
hee
healed
Malchus
eare
,
though
he
drew
vpon
him
;
he
saluted
Iudas
by
the
name
of
friend
when
he
betrayed
him
;
he
prayed
for
his
enemies
when
they
crucified
him
.
Cum
charitatis
authore
non
erit
malitia
tua
:
Charity
becomes
his
sheepe
.
I
prescribe
his
meekenesse
and
humility
;
all
the
practise
of
his
life
was
humility
,
and
his
lesson
was
humility
;
Aug.

Learne
of

Cum

It
was
not
long
before
Christs
death
,
that
the
Disciples
did
propose
a
strange
question
among
themselues
,
striuing
for
prioritie
:
Marke
9.
they
disputed
who
should
be
the
greatest
among
them
.
A
wonder
,
that
two
such
ambitious
twinnes
should
be
among
the
Disciples
:
I
pray
God
there
neuer
hath
beene
any
such
question
of
contention
and
opposition
among
any
of
you
.
Sure
I
am
,
we
were
all
growne
proud
,
and
placed
our
strength
in
the
arme
of
flesh
,
and
that
for
this
and
other
sinnes
,
the
Lord
hath
taken
our
sweete
and
blessed
Master
from
vs
.

Secondly

ye
sheep
of

O
then
be
of
one
minde
,
in
vnity
,
amitie
,
vnanimitie
:
the
places
are
frequent
,
where
Christ
his
seruants
are
called
members
of
one
bodie
,
sheepe
of
one
fold
,
branches
of

dearely
beloued
,
be
the
phrases
of
Saint
Iohn
to
those
that
are
Christs
seruants

It
is
well
worth
the
obseruation
,
that
one
noteth
vpon
our

Lyturgie
,
in
euery
article
of
deuotion
,
that
we
come

the
salutation
still
is

Dearely
beloued

a
phrase
vsed
in

of
the

,
the

of
Baptisme
,
the
solemnizing
of
Marriage
,
at
the
buriall
of
the
Dead
,
at
the
generall
Commination

How
shall
your
conscience
beare
you
witnesse
that
the
Church
speaketh
to
you
,
as
Dearely
beloued
,
if
there

enuious

Thirdly
,
is
it
so
,
that
ye
be
Christs

then
heare
Christs
voyce

it

one
of
the
true
notes
of
Christs
true
sheepe
,
Audiunt

saith
Christ
:

They
that
stop
their
eares
,
and
wil
not
heare
,
are
not
Christs
sheepe
.
Though
thou
be
lame
as
Mephibosheth
,
or
blinde
for
a
time
as
Paul
,
or
dumbe
as
Zachary
,

yet
thou
mayst
be
in
Christs
fould
:
but
if
the
deafe
diuell
haue
possessed
thee
,
if
thou
stop
thy
eares
,
thou
art
none
of
his

What
ioy
had
Dauid
in

of

he
,
when

Audiunt

not
onely
they
must
heare
,
but
heare
his
voyce
:
therefore
our

gaue
a
double
caueat
,
quid

&
quomodo
:
In

there

If
euer
it
were

set
a
watch
at
those
open
ports
of

eares
,
these
be
the

wherein

like
the
souldiours
of

are
armed
with
the
aduersaries
arguments
,
as
they
were

Some

of
which
saith
Dauid
,
I
haue
hared
inuentions
;
others
with

of

forewarneth
;
others
with
infallible
notes
of
seasoning

sense
of

;
which
notes
,
howsoeuer

seeme
to
haue

out
of

of

of

the

antiquitie

and
denies
not

that
the
third
may
be
challenged
by
inueterate
heresies

I
ad
further
,
that

may
pleade

for

this

now

might
sit
sobbing
day

,
breaking
their

with
beating
,
wearing
their
hands
with
wringing

their
hearts
aking
with
sighes
,
and
their
eyes
streaming
with

;
bruised
reeds
the

taken

;
the
Children
of

,
mourning
for
the
absence
of

Bridegroome
;
Lambes
sent
out
into
the

;
poore

discouraged

discomforted
creatures
,
hearing
their

,
feeling

;
solitary
are
they
now
to

,
that

beene
his

,
that
had
been
the
witnesses
of
his
miracles
:
Looke
vpon

the
neere
kinsewoman
of
our
Sauiour
,
leading
her
two
sons
to
be
preferred
to
our
Sauiour

seruice
;
did
they
thinke
of
this
scattering
?
Looke
vpon
his
Disciples
disputing
for

who
should
be
greater
;
did

thinke
of
this

?
Looke
vpon
those
two

trauelling

how
were

,
when
they
remembred
this
scattering
?
they
trusted
it
had
beene
He
that
should
haue
deliuered
Israel
.
All
the
life
of
his
Disciples
was
a
scattering
,
iourneying
,
troublesome
life
:
they
were
stil
in
progresse
;
our
Sauiour
had
no
standing
house
,
but
heauen
.
He
promised
them
in
the
Gospell
,
Matth.

Quando

▪
But
when
did
he
sit
,
saith
Bernard
?
He
had
no
ease
,
no
place
to
rest
on
.
These
his
sorrowfull
,
and
as
it
were
forlorne
followers
,
had
heard
Christ
oft
,
that
he
was
the
light
of
the
world
,
and
the
bread
of
life
,
that
he
had
ouercome
the
world
,
yet
shall
they
bescattered
:
It
had
beene
enough
to
haue
caused
their
hope
to
vanish
like
smoake
,
and
their
Faith
to
wither
like
grasse
,
&
death
to
sting
them
to
the
death
,
Hell
to
triumph
ouer
them
:
but
they
were
sheepe
,
therefore
silent
,
they
expostulate
not
,
but
obediently
and
patiently
heare
their
insuing
miserie
;
The
sheepe
shall
be
scattered
.
Obser
.
The
obseruation
collected
from
the
world
;
scattered
,
is
,
that
the
seruants
of
Christ
must
be
content
to
be
seuered
from
their
fellowes
,
and
friends
,
and
comforts
whatsoeuer
.
One
must
be
like
a
Pellican
in
the
wildernesse
,
another
like
a
Storcke
in
the
desart
,
some
like
the
Turtle
on
the
house-top
,
others
like
Doues
in
the
holes
of
the
rockes
,
they
cannot
be
together
,
but
like
grapes
after
a
vintage
,
here
one
,
there
one
.
The
indorsement
of
God
to
his
Saints
,
is
like
that
of
S.
Peter
to
the
Iewes
,
1
Pet.
1.2
.
To
the
strangers
dispersed
.
These
Apostles
were
dispersed

,
Mathew
into

,
Thomas
into

,
Iude
into
Aegypt
,
and
Simon

into
Mesopotamia
.
There
was
a
dispersion
,
and
dissolution
,
more
horrid
then
this
;
for
in
this
there
was
a
blessing
;
but
the
scattering
(
I
meane
)
was
of
the
Iewes
,
was
a
full
measure
of
misery
,
that
when
the
Iewes
had
bin
assailed
oft
,
as
may
be
found
sixe
times
in
the
old
Testament
,
at
the
length
their
vtter
destruction
,
their
finall
downefall
and
funerall
came
vpon
them
;
the
desolation
of
their
country
,
detestation
of
their
Nation
,
abhorring
of
their
Names
,
the
scattering
,
fettering
,
consuming
of
their
Citie
,
Temple
,
peace
,
prosperitie
,
and
of
all
blessings
,
sodainly
ouer-tooke
them
.
Christ
his
Prophecy
of

was
fulfilled
,
Behold
,
your

Text.
Application
must
begin
where
Meditation
ends
When
our
Sauiour
entered
into
the
Synagogue
vpon
the
Saboth
day
,
Luke
4.18
.
hee
opened
the
Booke
vpon
those
wordes
of
Esay
,
The
spirit
of
the
Lord
is
vpon
mee
,
he
hath
sent
me
,
that
I
should
heale
the
broken
hearted
,
&c.
And
he
shut
the
Booke
,
and
said
,
this
day
is
this
Scripture
fulfilled
in
your
eares
:
Beloued
,
if
euer
Scripture
were
fulfilled
in
your
eares
;
if
euer
Scripture
made
your
hearts
to
ake
,
and
your
eares
to
tingle
,
this
is
the
day
,
this
the
Text
:
if
euer
any
Scripture
did
take
downe
the
crest
of
Pride
,
and
abate
the
edge
of
Reuenge
,
to
moue
you
throughly
to
leaue
and
loath
the
World
,
this
is
it
:
I
will
smite
the
shepheard
,
and
the
sheepe
shall
be
scattered
.
Oh
,
why
is
there
not
a
generall
thaw
through-out
all
mankinde
?
why
in
this
debashed
Ayre
doe
not
all
thing
expire
,
seeing
Time
lookes
vpon
vs
with
watry
eyes
,
disheueld
lockes
,
and
heauie
dismall
lookes
;
now
that
the
Sunne
is
gone
out
of
our
Firnament
,
the
ioy
,
the
beautie
,
the
glory
of
Israel
is
departed

the
Branches
of
our
Princely
Cedar
:
to
you
this
is
a
dissolution
,
not
a
dispersion
;
disperdere
is

you

returne

Families
to

and
to

yet
remember
hereafter
,
as
the
wise
Egyptians
did
bestow
more
on
their
Tombes
then
Houses
,
so
hereafter
dispose
of
more
time
for
consideration
of
death
,
then
of
prouision
for
the
things
of
this

:
Let
