PRINCE
HENRIES
SECOND
ANNIVERSARIE
.
1
MIsprission
may
assaile
,
and
Envy
seeke
to
silence
,
the
memorials
of
those
gratious
instruments
of
Gods
glory
,
who
being
delivered
out
of
the
burden
of
the
flesh
,
be
in
ioy
&
felicitie
,
but
religious
Pietie
towards
God
;
and
obsequious
dutie
towards
man
,
doe
both
warne
and
warrant
,
our
gratefull
and
faithfull
remembrances
of
those
Worthies
,
of
whom
the
world
was
not
worthy
,
I
praised
the
dead
,
which
are
already
dead
,
more
then
the
living
which
are
yet
aliue
,
and
of
the
Reverend
Practise
of
ancient
times
,
which
did
adorne
the
names
of
the
good
,
the
wise
,
the
iust
,
the
valiant
,
and
not
only
honoured
their
Persons
in
their
liues
,
but
bemoaned
the
worlds
losse
by
their
deaths
,
and
by
their
praises
,
held
out
the
light
of
their
vertuous
Lampe
,
to
lead
others
into
those
wayes
,
which
these
worthies
had
walked
in
,
with
comfort
,
&
in
which
,
they
had
finished
their
race
with
Conquest
.
Rude
and
polite
,
Divine
,
and
Prophane
history
doth
countenance
the
continuance
of
such
Customes
,
and
therefore
though
Snakes
may
bite
,
&
dogs
may
barke
,
and
nothing
within
the
Circumference
of
heaven
can
be
,
without
the
compasse
of
censure
,
duty
only
being
my
Apologie
,
with
a
patient
content
and
contempt
of
gainesayers
,
I
proceed
in
my
professed
,
service
,
to
the
Annuall
remembrance
of
my
blessed
Master
Prince
HENRY
,
S.
Austins
rule
being
my
reason
,
Nec
laudantem
movet
adulatio
,
nec
laudatum
tentat
elatio
,
when
neither
he
that
praiseth
,
is
moved
with
flattery
,
nor
he
that
is
praised
,
can
be
tempted
with
vaine-glory
,
when
neither
affection
enticeth
,
nor
opinion
entangleth
,
it
may
be
both
lawfull
and
vsefull
that
the
righteous
,
may
be
had
in
everlastinst
remembrance
.

It
being
now
therefore
the
entrance
of
the
third
yeare
,
[
*
](A10055-e11400-b)
*
The
fatall
6.
of
Novemb.
since
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
deliuer
the
Princely
first
borne
out
of
the
misery
of
this
sinfull
world
,
and
that
the
Winter
Sables
of
November
doe
now
represent
our
former
sorrowes
,
it
will
be
not
vnseasonable
to
remember
the
holy
passage
of
that
heavenly
soule
,
which
was
freed
from
Adams
body
,
to
bee
translated
to
Abrahams
bosome
,
and
his
spirit
to
returne
to
God
that
gaue
it
.
So
in
our
observance
running
with
Peter
and
Iohn
to
the
Sepulchre
now
,
our
eies
haue
lost
him
,
&
our
feet
cannot
followe
him
,
our
spirituall
ambition
may
lead
our
contemplation
where
he
is
,
and
season
our
soules
with
ioy
,
to
knowe
what
he
is
.
For
,
what
other
is
he
(
if
we
dare
looke
vpon
the
sacred
blaze
of
aeternitie
)
then
a
Celestiall
spirit
,
and
glorious
Saint
,
a
Piller
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
one
of
those
fed
with
that
Manna
,
cloathed
with
the
white
robe
,
called
by
the
new
name
,
carying
the
triumphant
Palme
in
his
hand
,
following
the
Lambe
,
whether
soever
hee
goeth
.
An
immortall
glorious
Creature
,
Partaker
with
the
best
,
&
most
blest
of
Saints
,
more
beauteous
then
the
starres
,
&
equall
to
Angels
,
A
Divine
separated
soule
,
refined
and
enflamed
,
by
beholding
Gods
vnvtterable
maiestie
,
in
inioying
whereof
the
Angels
are
insatiable
,
and
incessant
in
the
Loue
and
Lawd
thereof
.
A
fixed
star
,
whose
lustre
is
as
full
of
beautie
as
glory
.
A
substance
more
pure
than
the
heavens
,
more
orient
then
the
rising
of
the
Sunne
.
How
excellent
is
HEE
in
thy
Tabernacles
,
O
Lord
of
hosts
,
where
being
delighted
with
all
maner
of
satietie
:
satiety
breeds
no
maner
of
dislike
,
where
now
HEE
hath
the
endowments
of
an
heavenly
inhabitant
,
and
knows
the
difference
betweene
the
conditions
of
a
momentary
,
&
eternall
life
,
and
though
the
Immortalitie
of
his
body
haue
not
yet
enioyed
the
rights
of
that
world
,
eternall
blisse
,
of
the
soule
,
shal
one
day
entertaine
the
body
with
eternall
beautie
.

It
was
Davids
precept
to
Solomon
his
sonne
,
that
in
the
eight
yeare
of
his
raigne
,
when
he
was
yet
a
child
,
he
began
to
seeke
after
the
God
of
David
his
father
,
where
,
as
Alexander
was
incited
by
Achilles
example
,
and
Caesar
by
Alexander
:
So
David
moveth
Solomon
,
and
Iosias
is
enflamed
by
Davids
religious
profession
.
These
Renowned
worthies
began
early
,
sunne
,
Wisdome
,
Religion
,
Vallor
,
did
shine
in
his
blooming
,
his
first
fruits
shewed
that
the
Lord
had
showred
vpon
him
the
gratious
dewe
of
his
inheritance
,
he
did
first
seeke
the
kingdome
of
God
,
and
the
righteousnes
there
of
,
&
referred
the
administration
of
other
things
to
the
hand
of
Providence
,
Iudgement
did
master
opinion
,
and
by
earely
accustoming
his
taste
to
the
truth
of
spirituall
pleasure
,
hee
contemned
the
false
and
abhorred
the
filthy
pleasures
of
the
worlde
,
lust
or
pride
could
not
fasten
vpon
him
a
desire
to
spend
,
nor
avarice
a
thirst
to
spare
,
feare
or
favour
could
not
cause
him
to
preferre
shaddowes
,
or
neglect
draw
him
from
rewarding
the
meanest
deservers
,
Ambition
drew
him
not
to
hasty
adventures
,
nor
daunger
ever
put
him
to
distrust
,
the
sunne
beames
of
his
morning
were
most
radian
,
yet
his
thoughts
calme
,
and
a
heavenly
peace
in
all
his
passions
,
his
blessed
minde
was
never
racked
with
desire
or
feare
,
nor
ever
troubled
with
the
sad
burthens
and
consuming
CANKERS
of
this
life
,
never
afflicted
with
the
surbate
of
cares
or
surfet
of
riots
,
froathy
praise
he
avoided
as
infectious
goodnesse
was
his
aime
,
which
being
the
cause
,
led
him
on
in
the
course
of
all
those
most
honourable
actions
,
he
entended
,
in
all
which
,
he
was
free
from
the
taint
,
much
more
from
the
staine
or
sting
of
ill
:

age
,
in

8
yeare
of
his
raigne
,
morning
watch
of
his
life
,
was
a
morning
starre
in
his
lustre
,
and
considered
that
the
Feare
of
God
which
the
preacher
made
to
bee
the
ende
of
all
things
in
the
end
of

is
the
beginning
of

the
beginning

Proverbs

in
the
daies
of
his
youth

he
thought
it
good
for
him
to
beare
the
Lordes
yoake
in
his
youth
,
dayly
holy
conversing
with
God
in
the
path
of
goodnesse
,
his
spirituall
progresse
in
grace
and
favour
testified
that
from
his
youth
vp
,
his
conversation
was
in
heaven
,
this
was
the
grace
of
his
childe
hood
,
and
garland
of
his
youth
,
this
blessed
his
life
,
&
conforted
him
at
death
,
and
shall
commende
him
to
all
posterity

Learne

S.
Hierome
witnessed
of
his
owne

ever
sounding
and
ecchoing
this
,
that
the
surest
way
to
a
good
life
is
to
beginne
betimes
,
considering
that
though
Gods
mercies
oftentimes
affords
vs
,
many
yeares
to
repent
,
yet
his
Iustice
affordeth
not
an
howre
to
sinne

,
hee
promiseth
not
to

to

who

How
should
this

draw
vs
on
,
Trahit

,
of
comfort
,
and
admonish
vs
all
if
hitherto
we
haue
neglected
,
to
fasten
vpon
the
first
opportunity
of
seasoning
our
souls
with
that
blessed
spirit
of
Janctification
,
while
they
be
fit
for
impression
,
and
that
by
a
gracious
meditation
we
consider
the

are
to
run
,
and
the
many
encombrances
which
alwaies
crosse

That

delay
augmenteth
difficulties
,
and
more
do
perish
by
this
Temptation
then
by
al
the
toiles

guiles
of
Sathan
,
the
longer
we
persist
in
sin
,
the
more
God
plucketh
his
grace
and
assistance
from
vs
,
our
good
inclinations
are
the
weaker

the
vnder
standing
more
darkned
,
the
will
more
perverted
,
the
appetite
more
disordered

the

are
more

that
at
length

stupid
and
benummed
soule
,
may
loose
the
spirituall

&
naturall
light
of
reason
,
and
retaine
only
the
sensuall

&
so

&
therefore
the

bee

hee

so
nobly
furnished
with
all
abiliments

a
strong

valiant

might

Diogenes

ioined

laughed
flattery

held
that

the

most
pernitious

It

be

a

Quaerere
was
the
word
best

the

that

fitted

As
if

had
duly
considered
our
Saviours
councell
,
Primù

,
first
seeke
;
Cum
dicit
quaerite

,
seeking
first
.
It
was
the
fruit
of
both
,
in
Iosias
to
beginne
to
seeke
God
the
first
time
of
his
raigne
when
he
was
a
childe
,
in
Mary
Magdalen
to
come
to
the
sepulcher
the
first
day
of
the
weeke
before
the
dawning
of
the
day
,
in
those
that
were
first
admitted
into
the
vineyard
,
that
they
were
in
the
market
the
first
howre
the
Master
came
to
hire
;
the
firstlings
of
the
cattell
,
first
borne
of
the
children
,
first
fruits
of
the
earth
,
first
hopes
of
the
promise
,
first
tythes
of
the
yeere
,
&
first
times
of
the
day
were
ever
deere
&
acceptable
to
God
.
To
instance
in
the
last
only
,
the
first
opening
of
the
daie
,
seeing
,
there
is
no
word
vnnecessary
in
the
book
of
God
,
every
iot
therein
,
affording
observation
,
if
not
Admiration
,
why
so
precisely
is
this
time
of
the

mentioned
in

is

circumstance

placed
in
the
front
of
so
many
of
the
sacred
histories
,
if
it
did
not

the

fruit
of
time

vnto
the
Lord
,
and
therfore
first
to
seeke
,
in
the
beginning
of

,
whether
as
Thomas
distinguisheth
,
it
bee
in
the
morning
of

naturall

Learne

from

that

vnder
his

,
or
now

sunshine
and
countenance
of
greatnesse
,
learne
to
seeke
the
Lord
:
this
is
the
whole
duty
of
man
,
the
summe
of
all
Gods
will
revealed
in
his
word
.
Yee
may
see
in
the
naturall
agents
,
whether
they
be
to
beare
rule
,
as
the
Sunne
and
Moone
,
which
are
placed
in

,
or
be
ruled
,
as
the
Elements
and
parts
of
this

,
they
all

as
if
they
knewe
what
they
wrought
,
and
in
their
severall
courses
seeke
to
performe
his
will
,
as
if
they
were
acquainted
with
his
wil.
How
much
more
doth
it
concerne
men
,
whom
in
a
maner
hee
hath
made
partakers
of
the
divine
nature
,
to
seeke
his
glory
,
seeing
that
by
his
glory
,
they
seeke
their
own
good
?
The
Orbes
&
Arches
of
heaven
,
with
their
starres
and
planets
,
and
the
whole
fabricke
of
nature
,
were
ordained
to
finish
their
course
by
motions
and
operation
:
and
so
man
as
hee
was
created
to
a
more
,
nay
to
the
most
,
happy
and
blessed
ende
,
should
attaine
therevnto
,
not
by
sloath
and
idlenesse
,
which
(
as
the
worme
in
the
guord
)
be
the
devourers
of
goodnesse
;
but
by
endeavour
which
is
the
spirit
,
and
by
ambition
the
spurre
,
should
stirre
on
in
the
waies
of
grace
,
being
in
the
glorious
liberties
of
the
sonnes
of
God
.
How
commonly
knowne
be
those
notions
,
that
our
life
is
but
a
iourney
,
a
race
,
a
votage
,
a
combat
,
&
we
are
but
travellers

souldiers
,
workemen
in

,
&c.
All
which
are
with
many
more
notes
of
seeking
and
labouring
,
which
should
edge
a
good
minde
to
wish
as
Heathen
Seneca
did
,
fortunes
warriour
then
her
wanton
,
&
rather
dwell
in
her
Camp
then
in

Erasmus
professeth
that

no

to

Seeing

Learne

whose

earthly
and

never
straine
further
then
to
be

of

to
lay
vp

whose

but
enraged

enflamed

the
desire

How
ought
this
ambition
of
the
soule
,
to
be
of

to
darken

dull

of

that
yee

performe
the
passage
with

that
when
ye

ye
may
bee
established
in
a

The

ever
ascending

not

either
with

that
which

hath
not

with
carnall
delight
of
that
shee
hath
,
never
entertaining
at

and
togither
,
those
two
extreames
,
the
loue
of
God

of
the

;
her
single
eie
not
being
able
to
behold
heaven
,
and

togither

and
therefore
neglecteth

Ioy
as

It
was
Cyrus
proclamation
to
animate
his
army
,
and
to
draw
valiant
spirits
to
his
party
,
that
,
whosoever
would
serue
him
in
that
warre
should
worthily
be
preferred
,
his

God
proclaimeth
to
the

even
a

of

that
neither

What

When
Sathan
tempted
our

with
the
greatest
temptation
,
great
offer
,
all
the
kingdomes
of
the

,
and
yet
small
glory
,
that
it
could
bee
shewed

in

as
S.

readeth
〈◊〉

in

the
glory
that
is
in
the
Celestiall
kingdome
,
Non

,
no

It
was
a
great
traunce
in
Peter
,
when
at
Christs
transfiguration
he
cryed
out
,
Let
vs
make
three
Tabernacles
one
for
Thee
,
Elias
:
Moses
Tabernacle
was
dissolued
,
hee
must
haue
none
,
hee
had
no
commission
to
make
a
new
one
:
Elias
was
taken
vp
into
heaven
,
he
rested
on
the
holy
hill
more
glorious
than
to
abide
in
a
Tabernacle
,
hee
needed
none
;
Christ
would
not
enioy
so
much
as
a
hole
to
hide
his
head
on
earth
,
much
lesse
a
Tabernacle
on
a
hill
,
hee
would
haue
none
.
It
had
beene
glorious
to
be
present
at
the
maiestie
of
that
meeting
,
where
in
body
,
were
represented
Elias
from
heaven
,
Moses
from
the
graue
,
Peter
and
others
from
the
world
,
nay
where
Pater
in
voce
,
filius
in

,

sanctus
in
nube
,
where
the
blessed
Trinitie
,
as
at
the
Baptisme
before
,
so
now
againe
at
the
Transfiguration
,
were
all
present
,
the
Father
in
the
voice
,
the
Sonne
in
the
flesh
,
the
holy
spirit
in
the
cloud
,
as
the
ancients
haue
collected
.
Vpon
this
short
shewe
of
the
glorious

of

a
Tabernacle
made
with

serue
,
but
the
true
Tabernacle
which
the
Lord
hath
pitcht
and
not
man
,
Lord
who
shall
dwell
in
thy
Tabernacle
,
who
shall
rest
vpon
thy
holy
hil
?
The
Monarches
of
the
earth
that
shall
enter
hereinto
,
may
cast
away
their
crownes
,
as
Elias
left
his
cloake
,
and
repent
of
nothing
,
saue
that
they
came
no
sooner
hither
.
It
was
as
it
seemeth
an
honourables
,
and
a
Commendable
ambition
in
the
Disciples
,
that
there
was
a
strife
among
them
who
shoulde
bee
the
greatest
in
the
kingdome
of
heaven
.
Mat.
18.1
.
Their
other
ambitious
thoughts
were
not
so
law
full
.
It
was
,
I
confesse
a
monstrous
sight
to
see
the
Saviours
servants
,
(
who
should
not
haue
savoured
of
earthly
things
)
disputing
who
should
be
the
greatest
among
them
,
as
in
Marke
9.34
.
&
a
much
more
prodigious
spectacle
to
behold
a
contention
among
them
,
in
an
ambitious
manner
at
the
Lords
table
in
the
time
of
the
Passeover
,
Luk.
22.24
.
nay
of
the
last
Passeover
that
ever
Christ
did
eate
with
them
,
which
he
had
desired
with
such
a
desire
to
eate
with
them
:
it
was
much
to
dispute
it
,
more
to
striue
for
it
,
much
to
question
in
the
way
,
contention
for
it
at
the
Table
,
much
to
doe
it
,
when
their
Lord
heard
them
not
as
in
Marke
,
when
no
danger
neere
their
Lord
:
more
now
when
their
Lord
heard
them
,
and
they
saw
him
in
sorrow
,
when
it
was
but
the
day
before
his
death
,
&
bitter
Passion
,
then
his
comfort
a
quarrell
of
his
Disciples
;
this
Passover
was
truely
eaten
with
bitter
hearbes
.
Both
these
contentions
were
grievous
in
common
men
,
more
grievous
in
the
lights
and
fathers
,
&
Chariots
,
and
horsemen
of
Israel
.
But
the
question
propounded
in
S.
Mathew
18.1
.
may
seeme
tolerable
,
Quis
primus
in
regno
Dei
,
who
should
be
the
first
and
greatest
in
the
kingdome
of
God
.
And
in
the
answer
to
this
seeming
tolerable
,
and
Commendable
question
,
Christ
not
only
teacheth
but
taxeth
them
for
the
swelling
ambition
of
that
question
,
and
answereth
them
that
vnles
they
were
converted
,
&
would
become
as
little
children
,
they
could
not
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
heaven
.
a
little
child
thus
,
Whosoever
therfore
shal
humble
himselfe
,
as
this
little
child
,
the
same
is
greatest
in
the
kingdome
of
heaven
:
teaching
thereby
that
Humility
is
the
gate
to
heaven
,
that
though
the
children
of
God
must
lead
an
inoffensiue
kind
of
life
,
yet
they
thinke
meanely
of
themselues
,
and
the
more
holy
a
man
is
,
the
more
hath
he
sense
of
his
owne
corruption
.
Hee
must
walke
with
God
,
&
yet
humble
himselfe
vnder
the
mighty
hand
of
God
.
No
opinion
in
his
own
wisdome
,
no
confidence
in
his
owne
power
,
no
hope
in
his
owne
works
,
he
must
deny
himselfe
if
he
professe
Christ
.
And
here
by
the
consequence
of
the
instance
,
he
reproveth
his
disciples
that
did
confound
the
good
motion
,
by
the
swelling
disposition
of
their
minde
,
not
content
to
bee
inheritours
of
the
kingdome
of
heaven
,
but
tooke
vpon
them
,
to
striue
for
superiority
in
that
kingdome
,
where
the
meanest
inhabitant
shall
be
a
king
,
the
meanest
reward
a
Crowne
,
and
all
shal
be
like
the
Angels
of
God
.
Where
our
New-borne
Prince
now
is
,
and
enioyeth
a
permanent
triumph
,
most
glorious
among
them
,
that
follow
the
Lamb
whither
so
ever
he
goeth
,
among
those
which
are
redeemed
,
from
among
men
,
and
are
the
first
fruits
vnto
God
,
and
to
the
Lamb
,
having
there
the
Royalty
of
happynesse
,
as
he
had
here
the
right
of
inheritance
.

Ambition
could
not
tempte
him
,
nor
slaunder
staine
him
,
that
ever
his

did
seeke

which
was
not
lawful
;
neither
in

Fas.
Fas
was
the
limitation
of
all
his
resolutions
.
The
ancient
revenewes
which
his
Royal
progenitors
had
designed
in
his
Principality
and
Dukedome
,
he
regained
from
the
vniust
possessors
(
for
the
Patrimony
of
Prince
&
Priest
hath
been
,
&
is
intruded
vpon
,
)
but
such
Princely
clemency
herein
appeared
,
that
law
having
restored
their
landes
and
revenewes
vnto
his
Highnesse
,
his
gracious
bounty
restored
the
possessours
vpon
small
considerations
vnto
that
which
without
right
they
formerly
had
detayned
.
Hereby
giving
a
taste
as
well
of
Provident
managing
of
his
state
,
as
of
his
benigne
regarde
of
any
,
that
had
any
tenure
vnder
him
,
as
if
his
lawe
had
beene
rather
Ius
Praetorium
,
then
Ius
Censorium
,
and
he
had
affected
the
rules
of
Chauncery
,
more
than
the
kings
bench
:
what
Equity
did
yeeld
him
,
his
Clemency
moderated
,
and
law
in
his
breast
was
attended
as
Virgo
in
heaven
,
as
with
Leo
on
the
one
side
the
power
of
a
Prince
,
so
with
libra
on
the
other
side
,
scales
to
try
the
weight
of
right
,
wherein
,
as
in
the
divine
scales
of
omnipotency
,
so
in
his
weights
,
the
worth
of
mercy
,
outweighed
the
right
of
Iustice
.
So
farre
was
he
from
gathering
the
Treasures
of
wickednesse
,
by
the
balance
of
deceit
,
from
countenancing
Lawes
to
bee
snares
to
good
mindes
,
or
quirkes
to
mercenary
wits
,
from
denying
the
Kings
measure
to
any
man
,
or
turning
Iudgement
into
wormewood
,
that
in
many
things
he
desisted
from
acquiring
his
own
right
:
when
the
right
hand
of
aequitie
led
him
thereto
:
though
the
heathen
observed
that
Iustice
is
a
vertue
in
nature
,
so
conioyning
with
the
heart
of
man
,
that
there
is
no
greater
sympathy
betweene
the
Loadstone
&
Iron
,
then
betweene
Iustice
and
the
heart
.
So
that
in
a
Prince
especially
,
absolute
Iustice
in
its
rigour
,
cannot
seeme
deformed
;
that

The

he
accounted
as
neighbour
to
blasphemie
;
the
Church
was
as

by
him

as
he
by

:
he
wisht
the
Arke
and
Aaron
their
dignitie
and
dues
;
not
the
meanest
of
that
tribe
,
but
had
from
him
vpon
any
occasion
,
more
respect
then
from
the
most
of
that
time
;
and
for
their
maintenance
,
by
his
Religious
Arithmetique
,
hee
intended
rather
addition
to
it
then
substraction
from
it
,
whatsoever
to
the
contrary
was
thought
by
some
hot
spirits
,
Herostratus
heires
,
who
thinke
to
get
honour
by
setting

on

Temple
:
No
place
complained
of
any
Iniustice
in
him
,
much
lesse
Gods
house
,
or
the
maintenance
thereof
.
The
Temple
was
his
high
way
to

,
and

his
guid
,
felicitie
the
Patrimonie
he
expected
,
and
yet

by
which
he
sought

Was
violence
the
meanes
?
Sacred
Prince
!
he
was
another

the
meekest
that
ever

Where
then
had
violence
either
dwelling

him
?
Nec

hee
was
not

yet
easily

,
a

could
not

nor

violence

In

as

Behold

corrupted

,
but
hee
walketh
vpright
before

,
violence

crueltie
had
no
place
in
his
habitations
,
all
his
intentions
were
weighed
,
with
how
lawfull
,
not
how
gainefull
they
were
:
the
kingdome
of
heaven
to
which
he
had
right
by
adoption
is
his
ayme
,
is
his
desire
;
to
seeke
other
things
if
this
were
any
hindrance
to
this
atchieument
he
forbore
:
hereby
teaching
the
vnrighteous
Ahabs
of

,
who
seeke

,
by
all

is

that
of

Blessed
are
the
meek
,
for
they
shall
inherite

Which
is
mainely
contrary
to
the
course

?
for
if
meekenesse
were
the
best
fortresse
for

how
so

wherefore

Nebuchadnezars
of

by

rather
then
by
possession
,
retaine
their
seats
,
&
may
be
said
rather
to
inhabit

inherite

But
vnto
the
Godly
saith
God

What
man

he
that

him
shall
hee
teach
in

way
that
he
shall
choose
,
his
soule
shall
dwel
at
ease
,
and
his
seed
shal
inherite

,
Psal.
24.12
.
Not
only
the
meeke
themselues
but
their
seed
,
shal
not
only
possesse
but
inherit
,
not
only
the
earth
but

when

Intruders

,
&
to
root
them
out
of
their

,
&
to
rot
their

When
as
,
they
that
by
right
&
righteous
dealing
haue
enioyed
the
blessing
of

,
shall
shine
by
their

when

as
now
this
Gratious

Triumphant
Saint
doth
,
whose
name
shall
bee
had
in
everlasting
remembrance
.
It

in

He
was
so
eminent
in
every
vertue
,
to
vse
S.
Hieroms
words
,
that
with
out
much
amplification
the
Apophthegmes
of
his
own
life
,
will
furnish
a
large
discourse
.
He
was
never
beaten
down
with
his
owne
passions
,
but
did
conquer
his
own
conquerours
;
his
anger
served
only
to
enflame
his
zeale
,
height
of
spirit
,
to
despise
the
world
,
Feare
,
only
to
abstaine
from
sin
,
ioy
to
praise
God
,
sadnesse
to
repent
,
hatred
,
to
pursue
vice
loue
,
to
ensue
vertue
;
so
his
passions
,
being
subdued
as
Rebels
,
were
singular
helps
in
the
exercise
of
vertue
.
And
for
himselfe
,
and
his
worthy
followers
,
the
words
of
Hierome
of
Nepotian
will
fitly
serue
the
close
of
this

Mars

dwelt
in
his
Palace
,
which
in
it selfe
was
a
second
Paradise
.
Religion
was
of
his
privy
chamber
,
and
vertue
a
great
officer
in

knowledge
was

him

good
inclinations
had
breeding
here

preferment

Countenance

But
as
Cestius

Flavius
,
fatall
Truth
in
him
,
that
so
great
a
spirit
,
so
soone
to
appeare
,
was
a
prodigious
signe
of
the
losse
,
which
ensued
by
the
end
of
his
life
,
such
an
Epiphany
was
the
speedy
forerunner
of

No

could
stay
the

Cesterne

his

by

a

what

Our

By
how
much
the
neerer
men
come
about
dying
persons
,
by
so
much
the
sooner
should
they
consider
their
owne
deaths

Wherefore
Noble
and
worthy
Gentlemen
,
who
were
sad
spectators
of
the
blessed
passage
of
his
Princely
soul
,
sequester
all
humane
wisdome
and
policy
,
all
Court
vanitie
or

,
looke
vpon
the
Glasse
of
mortalitie
;
the
more
yee
are
intangled
either
in
the
delights
or
affaires
of
this
life
,
the
more
grievous
death
will
bee
to
you
.
It
will
be
vnseasonable
,
when
the
paines
and
perplexities
of
the
soules
departing
from
two
friends
of
so
long
familiarity
,
the
body
and
the
world
,
shal
draw
your
powers
from
true
repentance
.
Seeke
therefore
the
Lord
while
he
may
bee
found
,
blowe
the
dying
fire
of
your
devotion
.
Looke
backe
,
and
esteeme
the
whole
race
which
yee
haue
runne
,
as
a
short
steppe
,
looke
foreward
,
and
behold
the
infinit
space
of
eternitie
,
wherein
by
grace
yee
may
continue

here
yee
haue
no
abiding
city
,
your
service
is
no
inheritance
.
Lift
therefore
your
mindes
to
heaven
,
and
discover
the
most
bright
and
beautifull
glory
;
your
life
is
your
candle
,
wast
it
not

idle
play
,
it
was
allowed

only
to
light
you
to

Finally
,
whosoever
of
you
beholdeth
the
present
Princely
family
,
and
saw
it
in
her
first
glory
;
doubt
not
but
God
will
make
good
his
word
to
this
house
,
which
he
promised

the
wieked

hurt
him

for

let
thy
mercies
compasse

giue
vnto
him
the
doubled
