Why
art
thou
cast
downe
,
O
my
soule
?
and
why
art
thou
disquieted
within
mee
?
Hope
in
God
,
for
I
shall
yet
praise
him
who
is
the
health
of
my
countinance
and
my
God
.
THE
summe
of
Christianity
,
is
that
which
Paul
giueth
in
charge
to
Timothy
,
Warre
a
good
warfare
,
holding
saith
and
a
good
conscience
.
The
life
of
a
an
incorruptible
crowne
.
We
must
therefore
take
vnto
vs
the
whole
armour
of
God
:
a
principall
part
thereof
,
is
the
sword
of
the
Spirit
,
the
word
of
God
:
and
whereas
all
that
,
being
giuen
by
inspiration
profitable
for
doctrine
,
for
reproofe
,
for
correction
,
and
for
instruction
in
righteousnesse
,
that
the
man
of
God
may
bee
perfect
,
thorowly
furnished
vnto
all
good
workes
;
and
therefore
is
the
wholsome
physicke
for
the
soule
,
common
to
all
,
a
promptuarie
;
and
store-house
of
spirituall
receipts
,
to
cure
all
maladies
of
the
minde
:
a
perfect
directorie
to
all
those
holy
duties
required
of
man
:
this
one
booke
of
Psalmes
doth
especially
,
and
most
comfortably
meet
with
the
per●urbations
,
and
sicknesses
of
●
distempered
minde
.
Besides
,
the
many
enemies
which
drawe
our
hearts
from
God
,
our
owne
affections
doe
not
lightly
hurt
vs
:
Sathan
making
his
aduantage
vpon
vs
through
them
:
diuerting
some
to
a
wrong
obiect
,
as
when
wee
delight
or
trust
in
euill
:
exasperating
and
sharpning
some
to
a
dangerous
excesse
,
as
when
wee
sorrow
immoderatly
:
retunding
and
abating
others
to
an
euill
defect
,
as
when
wee
cannot
raise
our
hopes
to
fetch
comfort
from
the
promises
of
God
:
to
omit
the
rest
,
of
which
wee
shall
not
be
occasioned
to
speak
,
of
how
many
comforts
are
we
made
insensible
,
and
so
enioy
not
what
we
haue
i●
our
hands
and
possessions
▪
with
how
many
vselesse
and
vnsufferable
burthens
do●
wee
oppresse
our
soules
,
thereby
making
the
life
itself
irksome
&
vncomfortable
,
for
want
of
knowledge
to
improue
,
or
strength
to
moderate
our
sorrowes
▪
and
vnrests
of
minde
?
what
feares
,
what
cares
,
what
impatience
,
what
murmurings
,
what
desperate
resolutions
,
what
vnhappy
distractions
,
what
infaust
affrightments
,
what
hideous
phantasies
doth
not
this
sad
Erinnys
,
worldly
sorrow
,
present
the
minde
withall
?
when
all
this
while
we
foolishly
cause
that
affliction
,
which
wee
wickedly
complaine
of
:
when
we
f●ede
this
bitter
humour
,
with
our
painefull
indulgence
,
this
insatiable
Vulture
with
our
owne
liuers
:
when
possessed
of
this
melancholly
deuill
,
wee
wound
,
wee
tare
,
wee
cast
our selues
into
this
fire
,
wee
plunge
our selues
into
these
Marahs
of
desperate
sorrow
.
There
cannot
be
a
good
life
without
afflictions
,
nor
these
without
sorrow
,
and
as
rarely
sorrow
without
excesse
,
or
defect
:
against
all
these
here
are
remedies
:
follow
them
you
who
are
interessed
,
you
shall
finde
a
certaine
clew
,
to
helpe
you
out
of
those
intricate
labyrinths
of
discontent
,
in
which
you
found
no
rest
,
out
of
which
you
discouered
no
way

good
manners
are
corrupted
:
and
insteed
of
spirituall
restoratuie
to
a
sicke
minde
,
leaueth
a
residence
so
poysonous
in
the
minde
,
that
it
corrupteth
,
effeminateth
and
debanisheth
it
.
These
are
Brokers
for
vncleanenesse
,
incendiaries
for
lusts
,
brands
of
the
first
hell
vpon
earth
:
who
(
as
if
is
any
merry
,
let
him
sing
,
but
preceede
out
of
your
mouthes
;
but
that
which
is
good
to
the
vse
of
edifying
,
that
it
may
minister
grace
to
the
hearers
.
Sing
Psalmes
,
Hymnes
,
&
spiritual
Songs
,
a
grace
in
your
hearts
to
the
Lord
.
To
such
songs
the
spirit
of
grace
commeth
flying
:
the
Bees
come
to
aromaticall
,
and
sweet
things
,
the
Swine
will
to
the
mire
:
to
obscene
and
meritricious
songs
and
discourses
,
the
deuils
swarme
,
let
them
onely
vse
and
loue
them
,
who
loue
their
company
.
The
third
is
vnto
two
sorts
of
erring
men
:
there
is
a
formall
singer
,
who
regardeth
nothing
but
tune
:
take
thy
lesson
▪
in
a
word
;
if
thine
heart
sing
not
,
thou
expressest
no
more
Religion
in
thine
excellent
and
quaintest
notes
,
then
is
in
an
Organ
pipe
,
which
,
how
euer
it
may
incite
others
,
is
it selfe
insensible
.
I
will
sing
with
the
Spirit
,
but
I
will
sing
with
vnderstanding
also
.
There
are
formelesse
singers
,
who
imagine
,
because
the
maine
which
God
looketh
for
,
is
the
heart
,
therefore
they
may
with
vncouth
wilde
notes
,
and
discordious
,
vntuned
zeale
,
vnkay
an
holy
Queere
,
and
disturbe
the
congregation
;
as
if
some
new
deuotion
had
rapt
them
out
of
tune
,
it
being
partly
an
affected
ignorance
,
partly
out
of
a
desire
,
ratherto
be
knowne
for
some
singular
disconuenience
withall
,
then
not
at
all
to
be
noted
of
any
:
as
if
because
God
regarded
not
Pharisaicall
and
superstitious
washings
,
therefore
he
required
sordid
worshippers
,
and
vncleane
hands
:
because
hee
is
not
moued
,
with
the
most
curious
relishes
of
men
or
Angels
,
therefore
hee
would
haue
men
,
discord
,
iarre
,
and
sing
out
of
tune
:
nay
,
but
he
is
the
God
of
order
,
not
of
confusion
,
and
there
is
a
decorum
in
the
assemblies
of
men
;
to
whose
presence
thou
owest
a
reuerent
conformity
:
there
is
a
meane
way
;
GOD
requireth
the
vnblemished
Sacrifice
,
at
least
the
best
.
I
will
neither
sing
for
tunes
sake
,
nor
without
it
:
if
I
had
Art
and
Nature
seruing
mee
,
as
I
would
not
ostent
;
so
not
thinke
it
too
good
for
Gods
seruice
:
I
would
not
care
where
I
were
hoarse
,
so
I
could
excell
in
the
seruice
of
GOD
,
in
his
house
I
would
affect
to
goe
beyond
my selfe
,
I
would
here
doe
my
best
,
and
if
I
had
any
Iewell
,
I
would
bring
it
toward
the
furnishing
this
Tabernacle
:
I
will
sing
with
my
heart
,
and
inward
feeling
of
my
soule
,
but
if
I
could
sing
the
notes
of
Angels
,
I
would
neither
bee
ashamed
of
the
excellency
which
God
gaue
mee
,
nor
bee
a
niggard
of
it
toward
his
seruice
,
I
would
not
thinke
that
vnsuitable
to
his
house
of
Saints
on
earth
,
which
is
,
and
for
euer
shall
bee
familiar
to
them
in
heauen
.
The
last
is
to
them
who
neither
learne
,
nor
teach
these
holy
Ditties
:
know
assuredly
,
they
are
the
sweetest
companions
in
solitude
,
the
best
grace
in
company
:
how
well
doe
they
become
the
reioycer
?
how
well
doe
they
fit
the
mourner
?
how
well
doth
it
beseeme
the
good
seruant
of
God
,
to
sing
praises
?
how
doth
it
beautifie
the
streets
?
how
are
those
wayes
strowed
with
boughes
and
garments
,
as
if
our
Sauiour
were
sensibly
to
bee
entertained
,
where
euery
Artificer
hath
the
praises
of
God
in
his
mouth
?
how
doth
it
resemble
our
Citie
,
to
that
Ierusalem
aboue
,
where
all
are
singers
?
how
gracefull
is
it
for
priuate
families
to
send
out
those
sounds
,
like
sweet
odours
,
into
the
streets
(
I
applaud
not
them
who
doe
it
onely
for
applause
)
doth
not
the
deuill
stand
listning
at
the
window
,
like
the
enuious
elder
brother
to
the
noise
of
his
Fathers
inward
musick
?
is
The
occasion
of
these
words
was
,
Dauid
being
exiled
beyond
Iordan
,
dwelling
on
the
hills
of
the
Hermonites
,
and
the
little
mount
Nisar
,
betwixt
the
Reubenites
and
Gadites
,
destitute
of
parents
,
brethren
and
allies
,
destitute
of
the
Tabernacle
,
and
publick
seruice
of
God
therein
performed
,
thus
complaineth
him
,
as
appeareth
in
the
fore
going
verses
,
then
concludeth
,
as
before
in
the
fift
verse
,
Why
art
thou
cast
downe
.
His
purpose
is
to
shew
,
that
the
most
iust
griefe
and
disquiet
of
minde
,
must
be
moderated
;
for
as
much
as
God
is
euer
able
,
and
ready
to
〈◊〉
all
them
that
〈◊〉
in
him
.
Why
art
thou
exreamely
sad
,
some
giue
it
:
Why
art
thousad
▪
others
.
Why
doest
thou
deiect
thee
?
others
,
why
doest
thou
depresse
thy selfe
?
The
Hebrew
hath
it
from
a
word
signifying
a
crooking
,
bending
downe
,
or
prostration
:
for
sorrow
doth
as
it
were
bend
him
downe
,
according
to
which
sense
,
it
is
Heauinesse
in
the
heart
of
man
maketh
it
si●ope
.
Why
doest
thou
trouble
me
,
some
reade
:
as
if
it
were
,
with
such
agitation
as
moueth
the
water
from
top
to
bottome
,
making
it
thicke
&
muddy
.
Why
doest
thou
trouble
me
?
Why
doest
thou
make
a
noise
?
Why
doest
thou
tumult
?
Why
art
thou
disquiet
?
The

word
signifieth
tumulting
,
raging
,
or

,
such
as
deepe
waters
make
in
their
fury
:
in
which
sense
it
is
vsed
in
the

of

When

So
Ier.
31.
20.
My
bowels
are
troubled
for
him
,
or
sounded
for
him
:
the
manner
of
speaking
seemeth
borrowed
from
the
disquiet
of
some
disordered
,
mutinous
,
and
counsailes
multitude
,
which
,
vpon
a
conceiued
iniurie
,
sodainly
trauaileth
with
reuenge
,
Saeuitque
animis
ignobile
vulgus
:
then
firebrands
and
staues
finde
wings
,
and
furie
weapons
:
such
is
a
troubled
sea
,
where
the
madnesse
of
her
people
expresse
the
countenance
of
a
fluctuant
tumult
:
such
is
an
afflicted
minde
,
where
a
thousand
billowes
,
open
so
many
vast
graues
,
threaten
so
many
deathes
,
vaine
hopes
,
and
desperate
feares
,
alternating
their
momentarie
courses
,
as
it
were
from
heauen
into
the
bottome
of
the
great
deepes
.
Trust
in
God
,
or
hope
in
Because
I
shall
confesse
to
him
,
some
giue
it
:
yet
I
shall
praise
him
,
others
:
the
The
health
of
my
countenance
,
that
is
,
giuing
me
the
ioy
of
sauing
health
,
or
I
shall
praise
him
and
his
sa●ing
health
,
for
Gods
countenance
is
the
declaration
of
his
fauour
in
our
deliuerance
and
helpe
.
The
parts
are
two
:
1
,
Expostulation
reprehensorie
,
why
art
thou
?
2
,
Counsaile
consolatorie
,
hope
in
God
.
It
is
the
truest
method
of
teaching
others
,
or
thy selfe
,
with
reproofe
and
comfort
:
it
is
Gods
owne
order
:
looke
into
the
Prophets
,
euery
where
you
shall
finde
threatnings
and
promises
,
correptions
and
consolations
,
like
the
rod
and
Manna
layed
vp
together
.
In
the
expostulation
I
shall
obserue
some
things
belonging
to
the
1
,
Manner
of
speaking
,
or
forme
of
reprehension
,
it
is
interrogatory
,
Why
?
2
,
Party
speaking
and
spoken
to
,
the
Psalmist
speaketh
as
it
were
to
another
〈…〉
or
as
if
he
consisted
of
two
parts
.
The
flesh
saith
grieue
,
and
be
impatient
,
the
regenerate
part
reproueth
that
excesse
▪
it
importeth
therefore
a
Soliloquie
.
My
soule
,
&c.
3
,
Matter
of
the
reprehension
which
is
two-fold
,
-
1
,
Deiection
,
why
cast
downe
?
-
2
,
Disquietnesse
,
Why
art
thou
disquiet
?
1
The
first
of
these
sheweth
,
it
is
no
carelesse
or
strengthlesse
reproofe
,
but
full
of
vehemencie
:
secretly
retraicting
to
the
pretended
causes
of
immoderate
griefe
,
or
disquiet
of
mind
,
implying
it
is
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
causelesse
:
for
no
reason
warranteth
excesse
.
2
The
second
importeth
it
is
not
formall
,
it
is
a
Soliloquie
and
priuate
conference
with
himselfe
;
in
his
own
soule
,
without
which
,
how
euer
solemne
,
publike
or
priuate
the
exercise
of
Religion
and
deuotion
be
,
it
is
fruitlesse
.
3
The
third
sheweth
vs
two
maine
wants
in
an
afflicted
minde
,
that
is
,
want
of
1
Strength
.
Why
art
thou
so
weake
,
as
that
thou
art
ouercome
of
sorrow
?
2
Moderation
.
Why
art
thou
so
violent
,
that
thou
vexest
thy selfe
?
In
the
counsaile
I
shall
obserue
,
1.
A
remedy
,
in
which
are
the
,
First
,
antidote
against
sorow
&
distresse
of
minde
,
hope
.
2.
Subiect
,
or
ground
of
that
trust
,
God
.
All
other
hopes
are
vaine
,
&
like
shifting
Mountebankes
ostent
false
cures
,
but
helpe
not
:
this
onely
neuer
faileth
.
Secondly
,
reason
or
cause
of
that
hope
,
which
is
either
from
the
1.
Strong
perswasion
which
God
then
gaue
him
for
the
future
,
I
shall
yet
praise
him
.
2.
Experience
of
Gods
fauours
both
present
and
past
,
Hee
is
the
health
of
my
countenance
.
3.
Co●enant
of
GOD
with
him
,
he
is
my
God
.
1
So
then
the
first
place
affordeth
an
enquirie
after
the
occasion
and
pretended
causes
of
this
cuill
.
Why
?
The
second
,
a
consideration
of
the
part
affected
,
my
soule
.
The
third
,
of
the
disease
it selfe
,
deiection
,
and
impatience
.
The
last
of
the
remedie
,
with
the
assurance
,
and
probatum
est
,
Hope
in
God
,
for
I
shall
yet
,
&c.
Why
art
thou
cast
downe
?
Why
thou
?
For
a
poore
Lazarus
to
bee
cast
downe
,
when
rich
mens
dogges
enioy
the
crummes
hee
wanteth
;
for
some
distressed

liueth
I

Cake
,
but
euen
an
handfull
of
meale
in
a
barrell
,
and
a
little
oyle
in
a
Cruse
,
and
behold
I
am
gathering
two
stickes
,
that
I
may
goe
in
and
dresse
it
for
me
and
my
son
,
that
we
may
eate
it
&
dye
:
For
some
afflicted
Iob
,
but
now
rich
,
and
presently
stript
of
al
,
lying
sick
,
sore
,
and
(
which
is
a
double
disease
)
so
poore
,
that
he
is
not
worth
one
true
frrend
:
for
some
indigent
widdow
of
a
Prophet
,
fallen
into
the
arrests
of
Creditours
so
pittilesse
,
that
they
will
take
her
sonnes
to
be
slaues
for
the
debt
:
for
some
necessitous
attendant
,
exhaust
,
and
starued
with
long
feeding
on
the
heartlesse
ayres
of
dilatorie
promises
,
noble
breathes
,
thin
dewes
of

,
while

?
&
all
the
seeming
friends
of

,
Thomas
Schollers
,
who
can
beleeue
nothing
without
some
feeling
:
for
such
men
to
bee
deiected
,
it
were
no
wonder
:
but
why
thou
O
rich
man
?
Why
thou
O
King
,
whose
condition
is
independent
?
What
wantest
thou
Dauid
,
loued
in
peace
,
feared
in
warres
,
to
make
thee
content
?
doubtlesse
there
is
no
externall
condition
can
allay
the
mindes
disquiet
:
there
is
no
Supersedeas
in
greatnesse
against
cares
and
sorrowes
:
whilst
For
fooles
to
cause
,
and
then
complaine
of
the
fruits
of
their
own
inuentions
,
or
to
be
cast
downe
it
were
no
great
matter
,
but
why
thou
O
man
of
GOD
?
Surely
there
are
remainds
of
folly
in
the
most
improued
natures
,
and
refined
braines
:
there
is
no
more
wisedome
without
some
madnes
,
then
mortall
perfection
without
some
blemishes
,
some
Reliques
of
the
old
man
.
For
some
bloody
Caine
,
conscious
Herod
,
guilty
Ahab
,
godlesse
Belshazzar
,
desperate
Iudas
,
to
bee
cast
downe
and
disquiet
,
it
is
no
maruell
,
the
wonder
is
they
there
is
no
rest
to
the
wicked
:
But
why
thou
holy
Psalmist
?
is
not
the
Kingdome
of
God
righteousnesse
,
and
peace
,
and
ioy
in
the
holy
Ghost
?
Why
art
thou
disquieted
?
truely
the
most
holy
haue
their
trials
,
their
disquiet
of
minde
:
because
we
are
not
yet
wholly
spirituall
,
that
wee
might
rest
secure
C●nquerours
;
since
then
neither
riches
,
honours
,
power
,
humane
wisedome
,
or
perfection
,
can
free
from
this
sicknesse
of
the
minde
,
there
are
none
too
great
,
too
wise
,
too
good
to
follow
our
Psalmist
to
the
cure
,
which
by
his
practise
he
teacheth
vs
,
that
is
:
all
this
will
I
giue
thee
.
But
in
our
sorrowes
hee
Cast
thy selfe
downe
,
we
must
not
deale
with
him
,
who
tempted
Christ●
,
and
could
deale
with
the
Archangell
,
disputing
about
the
body
of
Moses
,
hee
is
too
Iudah
,
Sweare
vnto
mee
that
yee
will
not
fall
vpon
mee
your selues
,
and
being
secured
of
them
,
he
feared
not
;
so
if
our
own
affections
prooue
not
false
,
no
assaults
can
hurt
vs
without
.
How
many
thousands
fret
and
grieue
themselues
to
death
,
and
neuer
come
so
farre
as
this
point
of
expostulation
:
why
doe
I
this
?
Why
art
thou
cast
downe
O
my
soule
?
How
many
think
they
haue
iust
cause
of
sorrow
,
when
indeed
as
it
was
said
of
Dauids
weeping
,
the
saluation
of
that
day
is
turned
into
Mee
thinketh
,
this
interrogatorie
particle
standeth
before
the
disconsolate
minde
(
like
the
Angell
by
Peter
in
prison
)
with
a
touch
,
1
We
must
examine
,
and
finde
out
the
first
cause
of
our
sorrow
:
euery
man
knoweth
the
next
and
immediate
cause
of
his
griefe
,
but
we
must
not
rest
there
:
it
is
not
enough
for
Israel
to
sorrow
,
because
the
Lord
I
will
not
goe
vp
in
the
midst
of
thee
,
except
they
consider
,
why
God
said
so
,
which
was
,
because
they
were
a
stiff-necked
people
:
trembling
heart
,
failing
eyes
,
and
sorrow
of
minde
,
so
that
thy
life
hang
in
doubt
before
thee
,
and
thou
fearest
day
and
night
,
if
thou
haue
no
assurance
of
thy
life
,
so
that
thou
say
in
the
morning
,
Would
God
it
were
euening
,
and
at
euening
,
would
GOD
it
were
morning
,
for
the
feare
of
thine
heart
which
thou
shalt
feare
:
know
,
it
is
because
thou
doest
not
obserue
to
doe
all
the
words
of
this
law
,
neither
doest
thou
feare
,
this
glorious
and
fearefull
name
,
the
Lord
thy
GOD.
All
sorrowes
are
the
vndoubted
effects
of
sinne
:
therefore
the
readiest
way
to
the
cure
,
is
,
not
to
rest
,
till

the
mischiefe
which
is
hid
,
the
excommunicate
thing
;
to
begin
at
the
roote
,
and
cause
of
the
euill
,
which
we
suffer
.
The
Prophet
like
a
skilfull
Empericke
went
roundly
to
worke
.
Wherefore
doeth
a
liuing
man
complaine
,
a
man
for
the
punishment
of
his
sinne
.
Wee
haue
transgressed
,
and
haue
rebelled
,
and
thou
hast
not
pard●ned
:
And
the
Psalmist
saith
,
Fooles
because
of
their
transgr●ssion
:
and
because
of
their
iniquities
are
afflicted
.
So
Ieremie
:
The
Lord
our
GOD
hath
put
vs
to
silence
,
and
giuen
vs
waters
of
Gall
to
drinke
,
because
we
haue
sinned
against
the
Lord
.
Whence
it
appeareth
,
that
sinne
in
generall
is
the
true
cause
of
griefe
and
impatience
.
More
particularly
,
&
especially
these
three
,
1.
Ignorance
.
2.
Vnbeliefe
.
3.
The
distempers
and
indispositions
of
mind
which
follow
them
.
Ignorance
hath
the
first
place
,
vnbeliefe
the
second
,
(
which
the
order
of
the
cure
importeth
:
to
helpe
our
vnbeliefe
wee
must
first
dispell
our
ignorance
,
the
cloudes
which
darken
our
minde
;
for
,
How
shall
they
belee●e
in
him
,
of
whom
they
ha●e
not
heard
?
)
Though
it
be
true
,
vnbeliefe
was
before
ignorance
,
in
time
,
and
order
of
causing
,
in
the
first
sinner
,
who
did
know
all
things
which
hee
ought
to
beleeue
,
till
beleeuing
the
Serpent
(
which
was
his
vnbeliefe
)
he
transgressed
,
and
so
brought
a
natiue
ignorance
,
and
spirituall
blindnesse
on
all
mankinde
.
This
ignorance
is
first
,
our
ignorance
of
God
:
When
wee
know
not
,
or
consider
not
his
power
,
and
all-disposing
prouidence
,
gouerning
all
things
,
with
a
sweet
,
and
vnresistible
omnipotencie
:
then
wee
repine
,
and
murmur
,
then
wee
striue
and
wrastle
,
as
if
wee
could
preuaile
against
him
.
Our
ignorance
of
Gods
goodnesse
and
mercy
,
working
all
things
for
the
best
to
them
that
loue
him
,
curing
their
soules
with
ass●ictions
temporall
,
healing
with
part
of
that
Scorpion
which
did
sting
them
;
our
ignorance
(
I
say
)
of
the
worke
of
God
herein
,
causeth
,
that
wee
looke
not
beyond
our
present
condition
,
and
therefore
distrust
the
issue
,
whervpon
wee
are
deiected
,
and
so
impatient
,
as
if
wee
were
vtterly
lost
for
want
of
looking
to
.
Secondly
,
of
our selues
,
and
our
owne
vnwor
th
inesse
,
which
when
wee
know
not
,
or
remember
not
,
wee
thinke
we
are
too
good
,
to
be
so
sharply
dealt
withall
:
that
our
sorrowes
are
greater
then
our
sinnes
:
that
wee
haue
not
deserued
all
the
miseries
wee
suffer
.
This
ignorance
of
our selues
causeth
vs
to
build
hopes
farre
greater
then
our
foundation
,
to
vndertake
affaires
aboue
our
strength
,
and
in
the
whole
course
of
our
liues
to
carrie
a
saile
too
great
for
our
bottome
▪
so
that
when
our
disproportioned
hopes
and
proiections
faile
,
and
are
ouerset
,
wee
grieue
,
we
vex
,
as
if
GOD
had
done
vs
iniurie
,
because
he
gaue
vs
not
so
much
,
as
our
foolish
hopes
promised
vs
.
2
Vnbeliefe
is
a
genuine
cause
of
disquiet
of
minde
:
wee
could
not
be
immoderatly
grieued
,
or
troubled
for
any
temporall
euill
,
if
wee
did
confidently
beleeue
GOD
,
our
powerfull
and
gracious
deliuerer
at
hand
:
This
is
that
old
man
,
which
lieth
murmuring
and
vexing
within
vs
;
this
is
that
vnregenerate
part
,
which
because
it
is
conscious
of
nothing
but
sinne
,
therfore
can
conceiue
nothing
but
iustice
in
God
,
and
feare
in
it selfe
,
which
suspition
so
multiplieth
,
that
vpon
euery
(
the
least
)
appearance
of
Hope
in
God
;
by
the
cure
shewing
the
cause
of
the
disease
,
that
is
,
distrust
and
want
of
faith
,
as
we
shall
see
hereafter
.
3
The
distempers
of
mind
are
diuers
.
1
Want
of
foresight
,
and
fore
expectation
of
calamities
:
it
must
needes
be
,
that
affliction
fall
very
heauily
vpon
that
man
who
neuer
looked
for
it
,
who
made
no
other
account
to
himsulfe
,
but
to
be
carried
to
heauen
vpon
downy
pillows
,
he
that
looketh
for
tryals
,
armeth
his
minde
to
entertain
them
when
they
come
.
2
Leuity
of
minde
,
and
weakenesse
,
which
cause
that
euery
breath
(
euen
common
accidents
)
ouerthrow
a
man
,
and
moue
him
to
impatience
.
3
Surfetting
on
prosperity
,
(
whence
men
grow
effeminate
,
and
,
like
formall
Souldiers
,
trained
vp
onely
for
a
quiet
pomp
,
are
dead
at
the
sight
of
an
enemie
,
euery
distresse
disordereth
and
confoundeth
their
thoughts
.
)
Hee
that
is
not
that
hee
beare
the
yoke
in
his
4
Enuie
,
which
hath
a
long
eye
into
other
mens
estates
,
not
contented
with
that
it selfe
hath
,
except
others
might
want
that
which
they
haue
.
It
is
not
onely
afflicted
with
it
own
aduersity
,
but
with
the
prosperity
of
others
also
.
We
may
add
to
these
and
other
causes
of
the
mindes
disquiet
,
which
are
in
our
selues
,
one
externall
:
that
is
the
deuill
,
who
loueth
to
bee
fishing
in
troubled
waters
,
especially
those
Marahs
of
mans
sorrow
and
impatience
,
which
are
his
Nectar
,
and
his
musick
,
because
his
desire
is
,
to
make
man
repine
at
GOD
,
be
at
enemity
with
men
,
discontented
with
himselfe
,
impatient
at
his
estate
;
in
fine
,
to
make
the
whole
life
of
man
mis●rable
,
euery
occurrent
hurtfull
,
the
whole
man
lesse
then
a
possessour
of
his
owne
soule
,
and
all
this
out
of
a
d●mned
malice
against
God
&
man
,
whom
he
would
fa●ne
●qua●l
with
himselfe
in

is
to

It
was
not
for
an
Absolom
,
it
was
not
for
the
sicknesse
of
a
loued
Insant
:
it
was
not
for
that
in
his
banishment
hee
wanted
the
company
of
his
deare
friends
;
but
because
hee
was
depri●ed
for
that
time
of
the
vse
of
the
Tabernacle
,
and
the
ontward
exercise
of
Religion
:
this
Psalme
sheweth
,
first
,
with
what
griefe
hee
was
absent
from
holy
assemblies
:
God
was
present
with
him
in
exile
,
but
his
sorrow
was
,
hee
could
not
come
to
the
Sanctuarie
;
for
that
hee
was
sensible
,
that
externall
meanes
and
exercises
of
Religion
,
are
like
Iacobs
l●dder
,
whereby
holy
mindes
climbe
to
heauen
:
the
face
of
God
was
seene
through
those
types
,
the
Tabernacle
,
sacrifices
,
altars
,
clensings
,
and
other
rites
,
as
now
more
clearely
in
the
word
and
holy
Sacram●nts
:
therfore
good
men
loue
the
externall
worship
of
God
,
as
his
ordinances
,
and
Churches
as
his
amiable
Tabernacles
,
and
the
places
where
his
honour
dwelleth
:
so
that
how
euer
some
,
with
vaine
opinion
of
holinesse
,
some
for
pleasures
,
some
for
profits
are
withdrawne
,
it
is
the
sharpest
among
the
many
sorrowes
of
the
children
of
God
,
if
either
some
cloud
of
feare
fill
the
Temple
,
that
they
cannot
enter
,
or
any
prescription
barre
them
from
this
house
.
Secondly
,
here
appeare
the
things
which
aggrauate
his
sorrow
,
that
is
,
an
heauie
remembrance
of
the
happinesse
he
had
,
when
he
went
with
the
multitude
,
and
led
them
ouant
and
reioycing
into
the
house
of
God
,
(
a
condition
which
cannot
be
wanted
and
remembred
with
patience
)
and
the
opprobious
taunts
of
his
enemies
,
who
measuring
Religion
by
externall
conditions
,
said
:
Where
is
thy
God
?
Hence
that
sorrow
:
it
is
a
bitter
triall
to
f●ele
the
insolency
,
and
heare
the
blasphemy
of
the
ad●ersary
,
if
any
thing
in
the
world
would
breake
a
good
heart
,
and
disquiet
a
religious
minde
,
doubtlesse
this
would
:
yet
he
reprehendeth
himselfe
for
it
,
by
this
question
:
intimating
,
that
there
is
no
iust
cause
of
immoderate
sorrow
,
no
not
in
the
most
heauie
tryals
.

How
vni●stly
do
wee
deale
with
a
gracious
Father
,
when
we
are
murmuring
and
querulous
;
not
onely
without
cause
,
but
when
we
haue
great
reason
to
praise
him
;
for
that
of
which
we
complaine
,
at
last
to
put
our
mouthes
in
the
dust
,
and
keepe
silence
,
since
we
caused
that
which
grieueth
vs
.
If
the
spirit
of
GOD
should
search
for
this
fauls
,
as
Ierusalem
with
lights
,
as
the
Idolatry
of
the
Elders
in
Ezekiels
vision
,
he
should
Woc

me

the
Lord
hath
added
griefe
to
my
sorrow
,
I
fainted
in
my
sighing
,
and
I
can
finde
no
rest
.
Because
,
when
the
Lord
would
destroy
,
hee
looked
for
great
things
for
himselfe
.
Hee
should
finde
the
poore
man
in
his
empty
Cottage
,
grieuing
so
despairingly
for
a
dearth
,
as
if
GOD
could
not
open
the
windowes
of
heauen
,
and
powre
out
a
blessing
without
measure
,
as
if
hee
could
not
encrease
the
oyle
and
the
meale
:
as
if
hee
,
who
doth
feede
the
Rauens
,
and
cloathe
the
Lillies
without
their
spinning
and
sowing
,
could
not
also
blesse
honest
labours
,
or
would
suffer
a
sonne
to
starue
for

of

whose

He

All

the
iniurie
of
gallfull
tongues

who
heareth
all
the
euill
he

Perhaps
God
stirred
thee
vp
enemies
,
who
might
giue
thee
a
tast
of
that
iniurie
which
thou
hast
done
to
others

if

is
it
not
enough
for
the
Disciple
to
be

Some

They
termed

How
negligently
wouldst
thou
haue
looked
vnto
Iesus

the
Author
and
finisher
of
our
faith

how
seldome
wouldst
thou

what

I

let
the

onely
let

thanke
my

that
I
am

Thou
hast
lost
a

why
doest
thou

immoderately

O

not

O

Perhaps
thou

and
wilt
thou
bee
impatient
for
that
which
GOD
saw

thou
couldst
neither

nor

Thou
grieuest
,
because
thou
canst
not
be
quiet
:
Is
not
this
vnrest
as
the

which

Would

Will

IN
the
second
place
of
the
expostulation
,
wee
are
to
consider
the
party
speaking
,
and
spoken
to

The
Psalmist
speaketh
to
himselfe
,
which
manner
of

Treatie

is
a
Soliloquie
,
and
parly
of
a
solita●y
man
,
whether
the
foole
speake

in
the
spirituall
language
of

it

,
it
either
r●ioyceth

bemoneth

it selfe

expresseth
it selfe

by

to
stirre
vp
the

and
to
leaue
a
more
firme
impression
in
the
minde
,
then
those
slender
and
vnuttered
thoughts
could
haue
done
.
There
is
an
inward
speaking
of
the
soule
within
it selfe
:
for
whosoeuer
vnderstandeth
,
in
that
he
concciueth

something
proceedeth

which
is
the
conception

In
the

the
soule

inwardly
either
to
it selfe

onely
conscious
of
it
owne

,
which
God

(

we
heare
of

In

the

how

could
a

(
which
is

,
but
through
the
tongue
)
conuay
it
inward
sense
&

,
to
the
soul
of

,
but
that
both
these
spirits
(
the
one
speaking
,
the
other
hearing
,
being
now
imprisoned
in
their
bodies
,
&
shut
vp
from
ech
others
interuiew
)
do
speake
&
heare
through
those
dores
of
the
body
,
which
God
hath
set
open
in
man
for
such
entercourse
?
These
words
of
our
Psalmist
,
doe
both
discouer
the
soule
to
bee
the
part
affected
,
(
by
some
dist●mper
causing
that
immoderate
gri●f
wherof
he
complaineth
)
and
teach
vs
a
way
to
the
cure
in
the
like
distresses
:
which
is
,
by
such
a
●●cesse
from
all
euill
,
and
worldly
thoughts
,
as
that
the
soule
may
freely
enioy
,
examine
,
and
search
it selfe
,
&
without
hinderance
,
and
distraction
,
enter
into
,
consider
,
and
rectifie
it selfe
.
The
ground
of
all
is
,
because
the
onely
way
to
help
a
sick
and
troubled
minde
,
is
to
raise
it
vp
to
that
soundnesse
,
and
integrity
,
which
it
shall
have
in
it
vnion
with
God
,
in
whom
alone
consisteth
all
our
blessednesse
:
in
whose
fauour
is
life
,
in
whose
loue
happinesse
,
in
whose
presence
fulnesse
of
ioy
.
Our
vnion
therefore
with
him
,
his
gracious
presence
in
our
soules
and
consciences
,
our
assurance
of
reconciliation
with
him
in
Christ
,
and
a
true
sense
and
feeling
of
the
Kingdome
of
lesus
established
in
vs
,
is
the
foundation
of
all
our
comfort
:
and
this
cannot
stand
with
the
Kingdome
of
Sathan
in
the
soule
,
for
Christ
will
haue
no
vnion
with
Belial
,
hee
admitteth
no
partnership
,
and
it
is
for
sinne
,
for
which
the
wrath
of
God
comming
on
our
disobedience
,
a●●●●cteth
vs
,
as
hath
beene
shewed
before
:
lest
then
,
sin
doe
by
stealth
possesse
the
soule
,
and
wee
seeke
comfort
in
vaine
,
we
must
seriously
enter
into
our selues
,
and
search
and
try
our
wayes
.
For
the
clearing
my
way
into
this
,
and
the
following
parts
,
I
will
here
lay
downe
these
fiue
conclusions
following
.
1
There
is
a
carnall
security
,
an
enioying
the
pleasures
of
sinne
for
a
season
,
amongst
the
vnregenerate
,
whose
sinnes
neuer
cost
them
tea●e
,
neuer
brake
them
an
houres
rest
:
therefore
this
point
▪
I
speake
of
,
is
a
me●●e
riddle
to
such
:
when
they
heare
these
discourses
,
of
comforting
an
afflicted
soule
,
by
a
fruitfull
Solil●quie
,
they
think
as
the
Of
whom
speaketh
the
Prophet

?
of
himselfe

of
some
other
man

I
speake
not

to
these
men
:
they

are
in

As
we
haue
in
this
life
no
absolute
freedome
from
sinne
,
so
no
absolute
immunity
from
disquiet
of
mind
:
which
though
it
be
the
Caananite
,
left
to
exercise
vs
in
a
continuall
and
carefull
watch
against
sinne
(
and
therefore
the
Psalmist
here
speaketh
as
it
were
to
one
within
him
,
like
a
man
consisting
of
two
opposite
parts
,
one
casting
downe
,
and
the
other
raising
vp
and
comforting
)
yet
wee
haue
such
assurance
of
the
death
of
sinne
,
faith
in
Iesus
,
and
the
dayly
decaying
of
Sathans
Kingdome
,
by
the
power
of
Gods
holy
Spirit
dwelling
in
vs
,
such
peace
of
conscience
,
and
●oy
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
as
that
we
are
not
vtterly

of

The
more
the
soule
is
freed
from
sinne
,
the
more
it
feeleth
in
it selfe
,
the
life
of
Iesus
,
the
more
assured
quiet
and
peace
it
hath
,
and
therefore
is
the
lesse
subiect
to
those
spirituall
tyrants
,
which
vexe
and
torment
the
soule

Sinne
is
euer
to
be
auoyded
,
but
the
assaults
and
charges
of
sinne
are
to
bee
receiued
diuersly
,
some
by
flying
,
some
by
resisting
:
by
flying
,
when
the
serpents
presence
is
infectious
when
thinking
encreaseth

incentiue

and

the

Sometimes
wee
must
res●t
,
when
Sat●an
commeth

with
his
scar●e
crowes
,
or
wher
continuall
meditation
disco●ereth
the

breakreth
the
power

These
things
layed

it
appeareth
farther
,
that
to
the
attaining
that
quiet
,
which
is
the
health
of
a
sound
minde
,
we
must
deale
with
the
part
affected
,
which
is
the
soule
:
foure
things
may
perswade
vs
to
an
especiall
care
hereof
.
First
:
the
worth
and
excellency
of
the
soule
:
which
besides
it
being
eternall
and
incorruptible
,
is
so
diuine
,
that
it
was
created
to
the
most
holy
image
of
God
,
in
sanctity
and
righteousnesse
,
endued
with
that
admirable
light
of
reason
,
that
it
is
not
onely
apprehensiue
of
the
creatures
,
but
of
it selfe
,
and
some
knowledge
of
the
Creatour
of
it selfe
,
by
the
booke
of
Scripture
,
and
the
booke
of
grace
;
wherein
he
hath
reuealed
himselfe
:
Augustine
vpon
this
Pfalme
What
shall
I
doc
to
finde
my
God
?
I
will
consider
the
earth
,
the
earth
was
made
:
there
is
great
beauty
of
the
earth
,
but
it
had
a
maker
.
Great
are
the
wonders
of
seedes
,
and
things
which
bring
forth
:
but
all
these
haue
a
Creator
:
I
see
the
vastnesse
of
the
broad
sea
,
I
am
amazed
,
I
admire
,
I
seeke
for
the
Author
:
I
see
the
heauens
,
the
beauty
of
the
starres
,
I
wonder
at
the
sunnes
brightnesse
,
seruing
to
our
dayly
labour
,
the
Moone
comforting
the
vnked
shades
of
night
:
these
things
are
wonderfull
,
and
to
be
praised
,
these
things
I
doe
admire
and
praise
,
but
I
long
for
him
who
made
all
these
:
I
came
to
my selfe
,
I
search
what
I
am
who
enquire
after
such
things
?
I
finde
I
haue
a
bo●y
,
and
a
soule
,
one
to
bee
go●●●ned
,
one
to
gou●●ne
:
my
body
to
serue
,
my
soule
to
rule
:
I
●iscerne
my
soule
is
something
better
then
my
body
:
I
perceiue
that
which
e●qui●eth
after
these
things
,
is
not
my
body
,
but
my
soule
:
and
v●t
the
things
which
I
haue
behold
on
euery
side
,
I
know
I
see
them
through
my
body
:
I
praised
the
earth
,
I
know
it
by
mine
eyes
,
I
praised
the
sea
,
I
knew
it
by
mine
eyes
,
the
Heauen
,
the
Sunne
,
the
Moone
,
I
knew
them
by
mine
eyes
;
these
are

Therefore
,
because
God
hath
made
man

different
:
of

heauenly
substance
:
of
a

,
of

,
to
serue
all
our

:
neither

,
because
our
first
part
is
to
deale
with
earthly
things
;
nor
all

,
because
though
wee
liue
,
and
are

for
the

about

yet
we
must
liue
a

spirituall
,
heauenly
,
and
free
from

Therefore
we
must
now
care
for
our
soules
,
and
not
be
like
those
,
who
,
(
as
if
they
were
all
body
,
all
earth
,
and
no
soule
)
liue
out
of
themselues
:
all
their
thoughts
,
words
,
and
actions
,
are
for
the
body
,
and
things
temporall
,
as
foode
,
rayment
,
riches
,
possessions
,
titles
of
honour
,
pleasures
,
and
the
like
:

as
if

were

dreame
of
a
Phylosopher
,
nothing
,
or
nothing
worth
,
they
seldome
,
if
euer
thinke
of
it
:
the
reason
is
,
because
for
the
most
part
,
men
are
either
ouercome
&
captiuated
of
their
owne
affections
,
so
that
What
madnesse
is
it
to
neglect
that
,
for
any
possession
,
without
which
,
wee
cannot
truely
possesse
any
thing
?
What
should
a
man
gaine
to
get
all
the
world
,
with
the
losse
of
the
soule
,
without
which
hee
possesseth
nothing
?
Thou
foole
,
this
night
thy
soule
shall
bee
required

thee
:
then
whose
shall
those
things
bee
which
thou
hast
prouided
?
What
exchange
If
thou
vnderstandest
not
this
,
know
that
the
most
excellent
beauties
of
the
world
are
seene
by
light
,
without
which
they
are
not
:
and
to
see
spirituall
excellencie
,
holinesse
,
and
purenesse
of
heart
,
is
the
light
;
without
which
thou
canst
neither
see
God
,
bee
sensible
of
goodnesse
,
nor
know
thy selfe
;
this
is
like
the
Sunns
brightnes
,
which
cannot
be
helped
with
any
baser
light
,
therfore
be
holy
,
be
pure
,
and
thou
shalt
see
what
excellencie
there
is
in
vertue
,
what
vertue
in
the
soule
:
Lord
how
curiously
doe
men
order
their
gestures
of
body
,
how
doe
they
bring
their
words
to
the
file
,
before
they
haue
admittance
to
the
tongue
?
how
do
they
examine
their
countenance
?
the
least
errour
of
their
garment
is
seene
and
rectified
,
but
as
if
the
soule
were
lesse
obserued
of
the
all-seeing
God
,
then
their
lineaments
of
men
,
here
they
are
precisely
curious
,
there
negligent
and
stupid
:
loue
thy
soule
,
and
thou
wilt
be
iealous
of
it
;
thou
wilt
bee
looking
what
it
wanteth
,
thou
wilt
confer
with
it
,
and
chee●e
it
vp
,
as
the
Kingly
Prophet
here
,
Why
art
thou
cast

The
second
reason
to
perswade
vs
hereto
,
is
because
the
cuill

is
a

of

deceined

he
slyeth
the
danger

carrieth

all

as
They
are
also
deceiued
who
think

any

any

redresse
that

whose
heart
and
inward
powers
of
his

are
not
both
moued

till
the
soule
attend

and
let

A
third
reason
is
the
necessary

of
curing

is
by
searching

examining

correcting

or
reforming

comsorting

soule

it

a
vain
inquest

is
made
after
sinnes
in
generall
,
except
wee
come
home
and
examine
the
witnesses
of
our
owne
conscience
,
so
if
we
finde
not
the
secrets
of
our
soule

sinne
will
easily
auoyde
our

it

it

thee
to
thy selfe

Thou
art
not
such
as
thou
sometimes
seemest
:
but
as
vsually
thou
art

Saul
had
bin
much
deceiued
in
taking
himselfe
for
an
holy
man
,
because
he
was
once
among
the
Prophets
:
Herod
could
not
haue
found
himselfe
among
the
obedient
hearers
,
because
sometimes
hee
heard
Iohn
gladly
,
and
did
many
things
.
The
wicked
man
strayeth
,
&
is
not
in
his
own
way
,
when
hee
strayeth
not
from
the
Lords
:
good
thoughts
,
words
,
or
actions
,
are
no
more
proper
to
him
,
then
truth
to
the
deuill
,
who
speaketh
it
not
,
but
for
aduantage
,
When
hee
speaketh
a
lye
,
he
speaketh
of
his

.
The
tempter
laboureth
in
nothing
more
,
then
to
hide
a
man
from
himselfe
,
and
to
keepe

knowledge
of
his
own
corruptions
,
till
it
bee
too
late
,
and
there
be
no

To
this
may
bee
added

that

doe
but
search
out
thy
soule
,
that
thou
mayst
throughly
examine
it
,
and
tell
me
if
it
will
not
shift
into
a
thousand
formes
:
if
it
will
not
vanish
as
swiftly
as
the
lightning
,
leade
thee

(
yea
too

the
closet
where
thou
art
kneeling
to

from
heauen
to
earth
,
from
east
to
west
in
a
moment
,
from
businesse
to
businesse
,
and
when
thou
hast
with
strong
cries
,
tears
,
and
sighes
,
forced
it
into
the
presence
of
God
,
and
art
secure
of
thy
hold
vpon
it
;
tell
me
,
if
with
the
flight
of
a
thought
,
it
wil
not
plunge
it selfe
into
the
deepes
of
secular
things
,
if
like
some
dreame
thou
shalt
not
loose
it
as
thou
findest
it
,
if
(
at
the
best
,
when
it
seemeth
to
render
it selfe
to
thine
inquisition
,
behold
I
am
here
)
it
bee
not
then
as
Obadiah
said
to
Eliah
,
When
I
am
gone
from
thee
,
the
Spirit
shall
carrie
thee
into
some
place
that
l
doe
not
know
.
Tell
mee
if
it
will
not
put
thee
off
to
anothen
day
,
with
pretences
of
present
importunity
,
affaires
,
and
the
like
;
that
thou
hast
no
need
of
troubling
thy selfe
now
:
tell
me
if
it
deceiue
thee
not
with
shewes
of
holinesse
:
tell
me
if
when
thou
hast
sound
it
,
it
startle
not
as
one
impatient
of
being
toucht
:
tell
me
if
thou
canst
with
any
violence
hold
it
,
but
that
it
will
bee
lost
in
a
thousand
distractions
:
The
reason
of
all
this
is
,
because
sinne
can
abide
no
examination
,
lest
the
vglinesse
of
it
should
make
it
hatefull
:
therefore
so
soone
as
it
was
borne
,
it
ranne
with

either
by

as

or
the

Such
is
our

that
when

when
thou
thinkst
thou
hast
no
sinne
;
it
is
the
wrath
of
God
,
which
causeth
that
for
thy
sinns
,
thou
shouldst
not
vnderstand
thy
sins
,
lest
thou
shouldst
repent
.
The
first
degree
of
hapines
,
is
,
not
to
sin
;
the
second
is
,
to
acknowledge
our
sins
.
Ther
runneth
that
entire
&

innocency
which

Here
followeth
the
remedy
which

Thirdly
,
iudge
thy
soule
:
if
wee
would
iudge

,
wee

the

to

,
is
to

Hee

and

he
expecteth
our
repentance
that

will
goe

and
write
therin
all
the
words
that
I
haue
spoken
to
thee
against
Israel
,
and
against
Iudah
.
It
may
be
that
the
house
of
Iudah
will
heare
all
the
euill
which
I
purpose
to
doe
vnto
them
,
that
they
may
returne
euery
man
from
his
euill
way
,
that
I
may
forgiue
their
iniquity
and
their
sinne
.
He
expecteth
thy
voyce
,
that
he
may
not
punish
but
pardon
.
Preuent
thine
accuser
,
if
thou
accuse
thy selfe
,
thou
shalt
feare
no
accuser
:
sinne
can
hope
for
none
other
sentence
but
condemnatory
,
which
if
thou
faithfully
pronounce
vpon
thy selfe
,
God
will
not
.
Fourthly
,
thou
must
correct
and
reforme
the
euil
in
thy
soule
.
Phareah
,
Sa●l
,
&
Iudas
could
say
they
had
sinned
,
but
could
not
amend
:
What
auaileth
knowledge
of
our
finn
,
without
reformation
?
what
profiteth
the
light
without
sweeping
this
Abner
,
Wherefore
then
hast
thou
not
kept
the
Lord
thy
King
?
yee
are
the
Sonnes
of
death
,
because
yee
haue
not
kept
your
Maister
.
Whither
should
he
flye
,
but
to
his
owne
soule
,
who
can
finde
no
sanctuarie
out
of
it
?
but
if
there
bee
tumults
,
if
there
bee
the
smoke
of
iniquity
,
and
the
flame
of
wickednesse
,
where
shall
hee
then
rest
?
while
the
men
of
Ai
had
a
Citie
to
retire
to
,
they
valiantly
repulsed
Israel
,
but
when
the
ambush
was
discouered
,
when
the
enemie
was
before
,
and
the
smoke
and
flame
of
the
fire
were
seene
in
their
owne
Citie
,
then
their
hearts
failed
,
then
they
perished
:
so
long
as
wee
haue
a
good
conscience
to
retire
vnto
,
wee
cannot
bee
ouercome
of
any
af●lictions
:
for
what
hath
hee
to
feare
who
is
conscious
of
no
sinne
?
but
when
feare
of
present
death
affrighteth
on
one
part
,
and
the
conscience
within
on
the
other
part
,
cryeth
(
as
Iosephs
brethren
in
their
feare
)
Wee
haue
verily
sinned
against
our
brother
,
therefore
is
this
trouble
come
vpon
vs
,
which
guilt
of
conscience
is
as
it
were
the
smoke
,
and
flame
of
hell
fire
,
di●couering
it selfe
in
the
sinners
bosome
,
then
he
is
cast
downe
.
Let
him
not
go
down
to
the
battell
with
vs
,
lest
he
be
in
the
bat●el
an
aduersarie
to
vs

Since
we
sayle
with

,
wee
must
with
a
diligent
watch

Ship
from
dangerous
places

lest
it
split

Some
can
say
why
art
thou
so
my
soule
?
yet
they
are
but
Elies
,
so
milde
to
themselues
,
that
in
the
examination
of
their
●aylings
,
they
rather
confirme
,
then
correct
their
errours
:
the
drunkard
often
expostulating
with
himselfe
(
but
slenderly
)
why
hee
is
so
ouertaken
,
at
last
with
frequent
thinking
,
thinketh
drunkennesse
but
good-fellowship
,
himselfe
naturally
or
habitually
enclined
to
that
vitious
thirst
,
and
therefore
of
necessity
a
drunkard
.
Sinnes
,
like
trees
in
an
hollow
ground
,
if
they
(
Why
art
thou
so
my
soule
?
)
must
reforme
and
amend
the
euill
reprooued
,
that
it
may
be
no
more
so
.
Fiftly
,
thou
must
hereby
comfort
thy
soule
;
and
raise
it
to
a
sound
hope
.
There
are
three
common
errours
in
this
case
:
the
one
of
them
whose
thoughts
in
any
distresse
,
like
Iacobs
sonnes
in
the
The
second
,
is
of
those
sad
malecontents
,
who
in
any
great
affliction
,
put
on
the
soule
to
some
desperate
resolutions
:
such
mens
thoughts
are
vsually
astonied
at
first
,
and
being
recouered
,
furious
:
or
like
Iobes

and
Ahitophel
wrastle
with
their
sorrowes
,
and
violently
deale
with
their
griefe
,
when
they
executed
them
by
a
fearefull
precipitation
,
and
leaping
at
once
to
hell
.
Whereas
they
ought
to
haue
submitted
to
the
mercy
,
and
good
pleasure
of
God
,
to
haue
depended
on
him
(
who
willeth
all
things
iustly
,
and
happily
to
those
who
loue
him
,
and
trust
in
his
mercies
)
and
with
meekenesse
and
patience
to
haue
dealt
with
their
afflicted
mindes
,
whose
distresses
are
like
wounds
,
and
cannot
bee
The
last
is
of
those
who
comfort
themselues
too
soone
:
like
vnskilfull
Chirurgians
,
vsing
Cataplasmes
before
searching
or
cleansing
;
lenitiues
,
before
corsiues
,
haue
eate
out
the
proude
and
vnsound
flesh
of
the
heart
,
that
is
comforting
before
a
due
examination
,
humbling
and
amendment
of
themselues
.
These
suffer
a
false
Cure
to
their
greater
griefe
to
come
:
These
men
aske
of
peace
,
while
their
sinnes
are
in
their
greatest
numbers
:
What
peace
,
since
there
is
no
atonement
,
no
reconciliation
to
God
?
It
is
impossible
either
to
finde
true
comfort
out
of
God
,
or
in
him
,
while
wee
,
lying
in
our
sinnes
and
obstinacie
,
haue
him
not
for
our
God
,
whiles
our
soules
,
conscious
of
all
the
euill
which
wee
haue
committed
,
flye
the
remembrance
of
him
,
as
the
greatest
torment
to
a
guilty
conscience
,
as
wee
shall
see
more
in
the
last
part
.
To
heale
the
minde
then
,
there
must
be
oyle
to
supple
,
but
after
the
wine
hath
clensed
,
there
must
be
comfort
,
but
in
the
order
which
you
haue
heard
:
so
that
whether
wee
finde
,
or
fit
our
mindes
,
examine
,
iudge
,
correct
,
rectifie
,
or
comfort
them
,
it
must
be
with
deepe
sense
,
apprehension
,
meditation
,
and
application
of
the
remedies
to
the
soule
:
it
is
not
any
thing
externall
can
doe
it
,
they
are
not
all
the
quaint
amulets
of
humane
reason
&
discourse
,
(
though
words
haue
an
admirable
vertue
&
power
to
asswage
a
troubled
minde
)
there
must
be
some
diuine
alexipharmacum
,
&
pres●ruatiue
against
that
inward
venome
of
wordly
sorrow
.
The
fourth
and
last
reason
,
to
perswade
to
a
serious
care
of
the
soule
,
is
drawne
from
the
lets
and
hinderances
,
arising
of
distractions
externall
or
internall
,
intercident
to
the
sound
cure
of
a
perplexed
minde
,
wherein
as
the
vndeniable
necessitie
,
so
also
the
true
vse
of
Soliloquie
is
to
be
considered
.
Vntill
we
can
be
at
leisure
to
speak
to
our
soules
,
till
our
minds
can
be
freed
of
all
incumberances
,
so
that
they
may
without
interruption
confer
with
themselues

al
counsaile
,
in
al

To
auoid
this
euill
then
,
it
must
necessarily
enter
into
a
setled
and
quiet
Soliloquie
;
which
is
a
retiring
of
the
soule
into
it selfe
,
a
receding
from
all
noysome
thoughts
and
distractions
of
the
world
,
to
intend
and
deale
with
it selfe
,
concerning
the
cure
&
reformation
of
it selfe

is
the
violence
of

for

that

An
holy
thought
in
meditation
,
(
as
Dauid
said
vpon
discouery
of
the
first
running
messenger
)
If
hee
bee
alone
,
there
is
good
tydings
in
his
mouth
.
Multitudes
of
vaine
thoughts
,
are
but
the
foolish
Chimarae's
of
the
minde
.
Therefore
suffer
not
thine
heart
to
runne
the
paces
of
those
night-rouing
fires
,
whither
euery
breath
of
winde
leadeth
them
,
nor
Martha-like
to
bee
cumbred
about
many
friuolous
things
,
with
the
neglect
of
the
one
necessarie
.
Fasten
vpon
some
course
,
for
the
reliefe
of
the
minde
,
and
giue
it
not
ouer
,
till
thou
hast
brought
it
to
some
good
perfection
:
as
this
happy
sequestration
of
thy
soule
to
repentance
,

from

thou

thou
wilt
not

I
will
take
it
by
force
:
How
many
houres
doe
these
take
from
our
sleepe
,
and
wee
consenting
to
the
theft
,
are
pleased
that

standing

,
though
the

were
filled

with

of

wee
should

Laughter
is
a

You

it

but

Ambition
Surely
her

tendeth
to

,
and
her

the

.
All
sins
(
to
which
so
many
sacrifice
their

and

)
are
like
Egyptian
taske-masters
,
adding
stripes
to

,
and
their

is
death

I
neede
not
say
more
then
this
,
With
how
many
cares
,
feares
,
griefes
,
vnrests
,
and
perplexities
,
doth
the

or

racke
the

,
presse
and

very
heart
of
a

,
that
hee

All
this

,
how
happily
doth
that
man
liu●
,
who
enioyeth
,
and
conferreth
daily
with
GOD
in
a

What
madnesse
is
it
then
,
to
seeke
that
happines

,
which
is
only
to
be

at
home
?
to
looke
for
that

,
which
is
onely
to
bee
found
and
enioyed
in

?
There
is
more
sound
content
in
one
houres
wise
and

enioying
a

,
then
in
an

of
the

.
The
world
fauoureth
mee
not
?
only
let
GOD
assure
my
soule
of
his
fauour
.
This
one

I
desired

IN

wee
are
to

the

be
helped
:
for
how
can
we
cure
,
except
we
acquaint
vs
with
the
passions
of
the
sicke
?
This
maladie
is
not
simply
one
,
but
double
,
that
is
,
dejection
and
disquietnesse
,
the
effects
of
immoderate
sorrow
and
care
:
they
seeme
extreame
and
contrarie
fits
:
the
first
,
a
dull
and
heauie
stupidity
,
a
kind
of
hopelesse
apoplexie
of
the
minde
,
yeelding
it selfe
to
the
requests
of
despaire
,
as
if
there
were
no
hope
,
no
helpe
.
The
second
is
a
restlesse
selfe-vexing
impatience
,
as
if
the
minde
could
helpe
it selfe
without
God
.
There
is
no
estate
without
some
complaint
:
discontent
cannot
be
confined
with
any
limits
,
but
the
fruition
of
the
chiefe
good
;
therefore
it
reigneth
ouer
all
that
haue
lost
their
interest
therein
,
till
they
doe
,
eyther
actually
,
or
in
firme
hope
re-obtaine
it
.
There
hath
an
vniuersal
distemper
,
for
mans
sake
,
infected
the
world
,
and
euery
creature
groaneth
with
vs
also
,
and
trauaileth
in
paine
together
vnt●
this
present
:
and
not
only
the
creature
,
but
we
also
,
which
haue
receiued
the
first
fruites
of
the
Spirit
,
euen
we
doe
sigh
in
our selues
,
waiting
for
the
adoption
,
the
redemption
of
our
bodie
.
Meane
time
the
soule
of
man
is
exercised
,
like
Israel
in
the
way
to
the
holy
Land
,
with
continuall
disturbances
,
that
wee
may
know
,
that
in
this
life

not
Hence
it
is
,
that
from
the
most
loathed
to
the
most
emulated

from
that
poorest
and
most
wretched
condition
,
which
all
men
hate
and
dislike
,
to
the
best
that
can
be
heere
enioyed
;
from
the
lowest
or
highest
,
to
which
pitty
can
descend
,
or
enuy
looke
,
you
shall
finde
none
who
wisheth
not
some
change
:
the
poore
man
would
faine
be
rich
,
the
rich
man
honourable
,
the
honourable
powerfull
,
the
mighty
would
reigne
;
and
hee
that
commandeth
many
millions
,
cannot
command
his
owne
minde
this
one
thing
,
to
bee
content
:
the
King
of
Kings
displayed
(
in
his
owne
Crowne
)
those
soueraigne
thornes
,
which
pricke
the
sacred
temples
of
Kings
.
There
are
two
restles
tormenters
of
the
soule
,
feare
and
griefe
;

on
the
prosperous
,
the
other
on
the
wretched
,
readie
to
giue
a
spunge
of
vineger
to
their
sufferings
:
when
we
are
well
,
we
feare
;
when
ill
,
wee
grieue
:
there
's
no
condition
secure
from
feare
,
or
void
of
sorrow
:
So
that
if
the
question
were
,
Why
art
thou
sad
?
the
answer
were
at
hand
:
looke
on
thy
conception
,
birth
,
infancie
,
middle
age
,
old
age
;
looke
into
thy
body
,
and
the
sundry
distempers
,
faylings
and
decayes
thereof
doe
answer
for
thee
;
looke
into
the
whole
course
of
thy
life
,
how
often
hath
one
day
mingled
thy
wine
with
gall
?
how
often
hath
one
hower
shut
vp
a
carelesse
mirth
with
sorrow
and
bitternesse
of
spirit
?
looke
among
thy
friends
,
how
many
lesse
dost
thou
now
rec●on
,
then
once
thou
didst
enioy
?
how
many
depriuings
seemed
(
not
at
once
,
but
in
sundry
funerals
)
to
haue
buried
a
great
part
of
thy
life
with
them
?
looke
into
thy
family
,
how
many
breake-hearts
hast
thou
outworne
with
time
,
besides
those
which
yet
liue
to
grieue
thee
?
looke
round
about
,
how
many
euils
are
there
in
the
world
,
to
make
thee
feare
or
sorrow
?
not
to
speake
of
depopulated
Prouinces
,
famine
,
murders
,
rapes
,
mangled
carcases
of
halfe-demolished
Cities
,
and
all
that
wofull
equipage
and
effects
of
warre
,
which
we
haue
felt
in
others
sufferings
,
(
wherein
the
compassionate
doe
vent
their
mute
impatience
with
teares
and
sighes
,
)
nor
of
so
many
famous
Churches
of
Christ
,
(
surprized
,
and
filled
with
Babylons
vncleane
birds
)
crying
with
one
voice
:
Woe
is
me
for
my
destruction
and
my
grieuous
plague
,
—
my
Tabernacle
is
destroyed
,
and
all
my
cords
are
broken
:
my
children
are
gone
from
mee
,
and
are
not
:
there
is
none
to
spread
out
my
Tent
any
more
,
and
to
set
vp
my
curtaines
.
Haue
ye
no
regard
,
all
ye
that
passe
by
this
way
?
behold
,
and
see
,
if
there
bee
any
sorrow
like
vnto
my
sorrow
,
which
is
done
vnto
me
,
wherewith
the
Lord
hath
afflicted
me
in
the
day
of
his
fierce
wrath
?
Not
to
speake
of
those
warlike
tumults
,
warres
and
rumors
of
warres
,
which
threaten
the
world
,
as
if
the
Angell
which
came
out
from
the
Altar
,
now
cryed
to
him
that
hath
the
sharpe
sickle
;
Thrust
in
thy
sharpe
sickle
,
and
gather
the
clusters
of
the
Vineyard
of
the
Earth
;
for
their
grapes
are
ripe
.
Looke
about
thy selfe
,
on
what
side
art
thou
free
?
where
hath
not
death
layed
his
ambush
?
where
dwelleth
that
light
heart
,
which
can
promise
it selfe
one
houres
secure
mirth
?
Consider
thy
soule
,
how
many
are
thy
cares
,
(
euen
for
worthlesse
trifles
)
griefes
,
perplexities
;
or
,
to
speake
the
most
,
the
most
vnspeakable
miserie
which
sinne
bringeth
with
it
;
and
it
may
seeme
a
more
proper
question
,
(
Why
art
thou
merry
?
)
but
he
saith
,
Why
art
thou
cast
downe
?
Why
dost
thou
disquiet
thy selfe
?
Great
reason
hee
should
call
his
soule
to
account
:
for
in
the
one
,
it
lyeth
weltring
in
the
bitter
floods
of
griefe
;
in
the
other
,
it
possesseth
not
it selfe
,
(
as
wee
shal
see
in
it
place
;
)
and
both
these
excesses
proceed
of
some
distrust
.
It
is
true
,
that
when
all
other
passions
in
their
meanes
doe
helpe
the
naturall
vigor
and
life
of
man
,
these
are
(
of
themselues
)
destructiue
,
as
being
(
like
all
their
allies
)
an
appendix
of
death
,
the
curse
of
sinne
:
yet
in
respect
of
mans
present
being
,
sanctified
sorrow
,
is
,
among
all
passions
,
an
antidote
,
not
only
good
,
but
necessarie
to
the
soule
,
as

therefore
when
hee
would
depriue
men
of
all
holines
,
(
which
he
can
no
wayes
do
,
but
by
that
which
pleaseth
)
with
these
allurements
he
rauisheth
the
mind
,
being
assured
that
these
are
the
golden
Apples
at
which
wee
will
stoope
;
the
onely
baites
,
the
onely
stales
,
through
whose
vnsuspected
disguisements
,
he
may
let
fly
his
venomed
arrowes
at
the
beguiled
soule
.
This
is
that
,
for
which
fooles
not
onely
endure
,
but
dotingly
loue
the
dreadfull
approaches
of
sin
.
God
leadeth
to

through

;
Satan

men
come
to
true
good
through
seeming
euils
,
and
to
true
euils
through
fallacious
good
.
So
then
,
the
tempter
giueth
pleasures
,
as
Saul
gaue
Dauld
his
Michal
,
that
she
might
bee
a
snare
to

.

hee
smileth
that
hee
may
rage
;
he
flattereth
that
he
may
deceine
,
he
enticeth
that
he
might
kill
,
hee
exalteth
that
hee
might
cast
downe
.
It
is
vertue
to
bee
abstemious
in
lawfull
delights
,
and
to
vse
them
cautiously
.
lest
they
prooue
snares
,
lest
their
alluring
charmes
bewitch
vs
,
and
we
perish
.
No
doubt
there
is
a
lawfull
and
vsefull
delight
,
Before
I
was
afflicted
I
went
astray
;
but
now
haue
I
kept
thy

Such
is
sorrow
,
as

There
is
a
naturall

warranting
some

euen
for

temporall

neither
vnseasonable
nor
vnlawfull
:
Ioseph

Yes
:
but
the
thing
which
inwardly
moueth
this
base
disquiet
of
their
mindes
,
was
their
owne
distrust
and
vnbeliefe
;
that
is
the

the

a

;

our
Psalmist

bee

in
their

do
marueiloufly
wound

distresse
a

;
and
because

by

Some
sins
are
borne

as

may
say

inordinate

on

How
out
of
measure
euill
is
it
then
,
when
occasions
and
causes
in
a
dangerous
concurrence
make
it
such
?
Look
how
some
diseased
man
fareth
with
an
outward
distemper
,
or
ill
dyet
added
to
his
indisposition
.
The
inward
cause
of
his
disenterie
is
some
sharp
choler
abounding
in
his
body
;
to
this
commeth
an
occasion
from
without
him
,
as
intemperate
Summers
heate
,
eating
o●
raw
fruits
,
or
the
like
,
which
being
corrupted
,
doe
extremely
stimulate
that
choller
,
to
a
dangerous
and
painfull
maladie
in
the
bowels
.
So
likewise
is
it
in
the
soule
;
where
euill
occasions
meete
with
some
obstinate
humor
of
the
mind
:
the
disquiet
groweth
desperate
:
if
Ahitophels
insatiate
ambition
and
pride
interpret
the
neglect
of
his
oracles
,
an
affront
to
his
wisdome
;
what
impatience
proceeding
of
holy
zeale
was
euer
so
violent
and
precipitate
?
If
the
wretched
caitiue
hath
oue●stood
his
markets
at
the
end
of
a
dearth
,
what
other
impatience
from
good
occasions
is
so
impetuous
?
What
could
so
easily
arme
a
desperate
hand
with
halters
,
poyson
,
kniues
?
That
rarest
euill
,
impatience
for
good
occasions
,
in
its
extremes
must
bee
moderated
,
(
as
in
the
next
place
we
shall
see
:
)
but
if
the
cause
bee
some
euill
within
vs
,
no
moderation
can
iustifie
it
.
Neither
that
which
is
conceiued
of
triuiall
causes
,
habits
of
impatience
,
and
euill
custome
of
disquietnesse
;
all
which
,
as
familiar
mischiefes
,
domesticke
deuils
,
haue
vnseene
snares
layed
in
euerie
corner
of
the
house
,
to
possesse
and
surprize
euen
those
who
hate
and
feare
them
.
The
third
thing
which
sheweth
disquietnesse
of
minde
euill
,
is
when
it
wanteth
a
discreet
and
prudent
moderation
:
for
in
such
cases
,
the
emotions
of
the
mind
(
otherwise
good
)
become
dangerous
:
when
all
vertues
consist
in
their
meane
,
that
cannot
but
bee
euill
,
which
being
extreme
,
is
separate
and
remote
from
vertue
:
and
when
all
extremes
are
dangerous
,
none
are
more
then
those
excesses
in
affections
,
which
,
like
violent
and
sudden
inundations
,
breake
in
vpon
the
minde
,
ouerflowing
and
drowning
,
shaking
downe
and
carrying
away
●l
fruit
of
temperance
and
meeknesse
.
All
affections
and
passions
of
mind
,
are
as
seruants
,
and
familiar
necessaries
of
the
inward
house
:
wee
vse
not
fire
and
water
more
frequently
,
more
profitably
:
but
as
manumissed
slaues
,
promoted
to
place
of
command
,
as
the
base
and
worthlesse
(
whose
minds
were
neuer
acquainted
with
any
noble
thought
)
inuested
with
titles
of
honour
,
such
are
affections
vsurping
ouer
reason
,
which
by
right
of
creation
is
to
hold
a
soueraignty
ouer
them
;

v●sufferable
masters

How
excellent
an

that

the
centinell

the
soule

proueth
an
impious
distrust

How
sweet
an
affection
is
hope
?
but
if
it
goe
beyond
a
reasonable
ground

it
declineth
to
a
foolish
and
dangerous
presumption

How
vsefull
an
affection
is
sorrow

it
maketh
men
sensible

on
the
other
part

a
meane

disquiet

hath
much
good
in
it
,
whilst
it
is
contained
in
a
due
proportion
of
zeale
or
godly
sorrow
;
but

proue
ouergrowne
and
monstrous
▪
though
it
bee
conceiued
of
the
most
lustistable
occasions

causes

must
suffer
allayes
and
qualification

yet
if

bee
extreme
,
(
as
you

it
proueth
dangerous
.
Because
then
excesse
in
the
effect
,
is
a
signe
of
excesse
,
or
some
dangerous
concomitancie
and
vnion
of
causes
,
(
as
disquietnesse
for
sin
importeth
,
that
our
sorrow
is
too
great
,
or
accompanied
with
a
seruile
feare
and
distrust

ioyntly
cause
it

)
therefore
is
(
euen
that
)
disquiet
,
which
may
seeme
deriued
from
good
occasions

euill

When

bring

many

the
execution
heereof

O

:
—
I

euery

Then
I
said
,
I
wil
not

nor
speake
any
more
in

Albeit
his
impatience
was
more
,
for
that
the
Word

became
a
reproch
to
the

for
that
they

the

I
had
neither

I

thou

be

to

From
reason
there

that

could

2.
It
is
a
certaine
argument
of
true
wisdom
,
greatnes
,
goodnes
,
&
strength
of
mind
,
to
be
patient
in
afflictions
:
none
but
the
wise
can
bee
patient
,
as
none
but
the
good
,
wise
:
therefort
the
cause
sheweth
patience
,
and
where
that
is
good
,
this
is
true
.

It

it

afflictions
?
Euery
aduersity
would
seeme
,
for
the
present
,
a
full
period
and
end
of
comfort
,
which
must
as
often
dye
,
as
we
could
number
sorrowes
betwixt
the
two
limits
of
mortalitie
,
the
Wombe
and
the
Graue
.
There
is
nothing
so
bitter
,
which
hope
doth
●ot
sweeten
.
The
A●cients
w●sely
intimated
Hope
,
the
la●●
l●uing
comforter
of
aduersitie
,
when
they
said
,
that
in
Pandora's
Table
,
the
box
emptied
,
all
things
powred
out
and
lost
,
Hope
onely
remained
in
the
bottome
:
and
that
when
Faith
,
Iustice
,
Pietie
,
and
Peace
tooke
wing
,
and
soared
to
heauen
,
Hope
onely
was
left
to
men
on
earth
.
There
is
nothing
so
light
,
so
little
,
so
remote
,
so
strange
,
to
which
the
mind
,
animated
by
hope
,
doth
not
adhere
:
so
light
is
hope
,
so
obscure
,
so
blind
,
so
ambiguous
,
incertaine
,
slender
,
vaine
.
So
pleasing
is
that
sweet
libertie
of
hoping
for
our selues
,
as
that
it
will
feed
vpon
coniecture
and
opinion
either
probable
or
possible
,
because
the
like
hath
been
;
sometimes
it
happened
to
others
,
it
hath
some
reason
,
it
is
iust
,
it
should
bee
so
,
it
is
credible
,
it
was
promised
,
or
the
like
;
and
where
wee
haue
no
ground
,
on
which
hope
can
set
the
lightest
foot
,
we
frame
some
to
our selues
,
imagining
there
is
,
or
may
be
something
better
then
yet
wee
see
,
or
can
imagine
.
It
may
seeme
requisite
,
that
hopes
should
bee
borne
of
the
lightest
causes
,
that
the
mind
,
obuious
to
so
many
sorrowes
,
might
also
euery
where
find
some
solace
to
refresh
and
sustaine
its
often
fainting
:
and
that
there
is
some
vse
euen
of
those
triuiall
things
it
presenteth
to
the
sorrowfull
;
when
the
imprisoned
maketh
him
roomo
,
with
hope
of
enlargement
;
the
meager
feedeth
on
hopes
of
future
saciety
;
the

his

(
at

)
that

But
since
there
is
nothing
more
deceitfull
then
vaine
hopes
,
which
howeuer
,
like
a
draught
of
cold
water
they
refresh
the
sicke
for
a
littletime
,
yet
in
the
end
they
do
wonderfully
exasperate
our
sorrowes
,
by
mocking
our
desires
,
and
giue
our
soules
the
strappado
;
for
we
do
the
more
dangerously
despaire
:
the
more
wee
hoped
in
vaine
,
the
fall
being
greatned
by
the
height
of
ou●
station
or
exaltation
,
it
remaineth
,
that
the
onely
way
to
comfort
and
quiet
a
perplexed
and
troubled
soule
,
is
to
cast
all
our
care
on
God
,
to
raise
the
mind
to
a
true
hope
and
affiance
in
him
.
For
first
,
wee
must
consider
,
that
this
hope
is
a
vertue
infused
into
our

by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
who

of

it

;
it
is

We
doe

for
,
and
expect
the

of
Gods

,
because
we
beleeue
them
to

Faith
is
a

perswasion
of

of

The

hath

Howeuer
then

vpon

that

both
precede
and

,
which
is
a
soueraigne
remedie
against
all

and

of

;
as
also
,
that

hauing
no

how
befalleth

wee
share
and
suffer
alike
,
till
in
the
end
of
this
mortall
life
wee
be
diuided
into

of

or
death
:
Yet
(
saith
he
)
we
are
not
equall
with
you
,
though
wee
suffer
the
same
things
;
for
since
in
the
sense
of
griefe
,
consisteth
all
that
which

it

that

The
mind
of
an
holy
man
is
erect
and
steadfast
,
euen
amongst
the
ruines
of
a
perishing
world
:
patience
is
euer
cheerefull
,
and
that
mind
euer
secure
in
God
:
hee
neuer
deceiueth

,
in

▪
wee
hope
When
the
Psalmist
,
out
of
a
learned
experience
hauing
discoursed
of
the
estate
of
the
wicked
and
the
holy
,
sendeth
vs
to
the
issue
of
the
Marks
the
vpright
man
,
and
behold
the
iust
:
for
the
end
of
that
man
is
peace
.
The
quiet
fruits
of
righteousnesse
are
later
,
(
liker
the
blossom
and
fruits
of
Aarons
drie
rod
)
when
it
seemeth
there
is
no
hope
,
yet
they
are
sure
and
excellent
.
Fourthly
,
because
they
that
are
begotten
againe
to
this
liuely
hope
,
(
being
kept
reioyce
in
tribulation
;
and
therefore
thus
they
reckon
:
whatsoeuer
affliction
befalleth
vs
here
,
it
findeth
vs
vpon
the
whilest
we
remaine
in
the
bodie
,
wee
are
absent
from
the
Lord
:
)
and
therefore
like
theeues
and
robbers
,
stormes
and
dangerous
passages
,
or
whateuer
els
maketh
a
iourney
tedious
and
vnpleasing
,
it
maketh
vs
loue
home
the
better
:
the
worse
the
way
is
,
the
more
we
desire
to
bee
at
the
end
of
it
.
Thus
they
ouercome
the
infirmitie
of
the
body
,
by
the
strength
of
the
mind
:
so
confident
Cypr.

are
they
,
that
when
they
haue
been
racked
,
they
would
not
bee
deliuered
,
that
they
might
receiue
a
better
resurrection
.
If
it
be
obiected
,
that
the
most
faithfull
haue
their
trials
,
and
doe
often
expresse
great
sorrow
and
disquiet
of
mind
:
we
must
know
;
that
we
are
already
partakers
of
the
promised
rest
in
firme
hope
,
we
are
there
in
desire
;
these
wee
haue
already
cast
out
as
the
anchors
of
our
soule
;
therefore
as
wee
say
of
a
ship
riding
at
anchor
,
she
hath
hold
on
the
earth
,
though
yet
she
ceele
,
heaue
and
set
,
and
those
anchors
hold
her
from
bestrauning
If
it
be
vrged
,
that
we
are
yet
fraile
,
and
full
of
euill
,
which
may
make
our
,
hopes
decline

we
say
with
Bernard
;
There

haue
generall
promises
,
and
in
our
consciences
,
the
particular
testimony
of
his
holy
Spirit
,
assuring
vs
that
we
are
the
children
of
God
,
and
Am
I
God
to

and
giue
life
,
said
the
King
of
Israel
?
God
onely
can
doe
all
he
will
,
and
will
doe
all
hee
hath
promised
.
Vpon
this
ground
the
Apostle
kept
by
the
power
of
God
through
faith
vnto
saluation
.
Lastly
,
we
must
consider
,
that
there
is
none
other
comfort
in
afflictions
,
but
hope
of
deliuerie
out
of
them
,
or
sure
p●eseruatiues
against
them
,
neither
true
hope
or
preseruation
but
in
God
.
Therefore
the
Scriptures
do
distinguish
betwixt
true
and
false
hopes
,
magnifying
the
one
,
and
shewing
the
true
vnhappinesse
of
the
other
:
Cursed
bee
the
man
that
trusteth
in
man
,
and
m●keth
flesh
his
arme
,
and
withdraweth
his
heart
from
the
Lord
:
for
hee
shal
be
like
the
heath
in
the
wildernesse
,
and
shall
not
see
when
any
good
commeth
.
—
Blessed
bee
the
man
that
trusteth
in
the
Lord
,
and
whose
hope
the
Lord
is
,
for
he
shal●be
like
a
tree
that
is
planted
by
the
water
,
which
spreadeth
out
his
rootes
〈◊〉
the
R●uer
,
and
shall
not
feele
when
the
heate
commeth
,
but
he●
lease
shall
bee
greene
,
and
shall
not
care
for
the
yeere
of
drought
,
neither
shall
cease
from
yeelding
fruite
.
Therefore
All
labour
for
hope
,
to
comfort
themselues
against
afflictions
:
for
hope
addeth
to
and
aboue
desire
,
an
endeauor
,
and
eleuation
of
the
mind
,
to
obtaine
a
difficult
good
,
which
cheereth
them
:
But
there
is
much
difference
According
to
mens
seuerall
griefes
,
they
apply
seuerall
remedies
:
and
it
is
true
,
they
may
be
vsefull
in
their
kinds
.

Augustine
confesseth
what
a
bridle
it
was
to
his
ambition
,
when
,
the
same
day
that
he
was
preparing
to
make
a
flattering
Oration
in
praise
of
the
Emperour
;
when
his
heart
was
troubled
with
that
businesse
,
passing
through
a
street
of
Millan
,
he
saw
a
poore
beggar
(
perhaps
with
his
belly
full
)
iocund
and
merry
;
wherefore
hee
sighed
;
saying
to
his
friends
who
accompanyed
There
are
that
trust
in
possessions
,
yet
when
these
grand
masters
of

boast
There
are
that
trust

popularity

that
vainest
and
most
inconstant
breath
of
a
giddy
multitude
:
and
when
they
say
,
—
The
voyce
of
God
,
and
not
of
man
,
then
some
desperate
griefe
smiteth
them
,
as
the
Angell
Herod
,
and
they
are
eaten

much

,
for
a
little
hope
of
some
subordinate
fauour
,
they
are
deceiued

but
when
God
will
meere
with

,
how
easily
doth
he
send
the
sword
after
them
?
How
easily
doth
he
speake
concerning
a
mighty

oppulent
Nation
,
to
root
it

it
is
a
temptation

and
not

the

of
God

which
bearing
witnesse
to
the
Elect

that
they
are
the
sonnes

inferreth
to
their
consciences
,
that
therefore
they
must
walke
after
the
Spirit
,
that
they
must
be
holy
,
that
they
must
walke
worthy
of
their
calling
;
and
because
they
call
on
the
Father
,
who
without
respect
of
persons
,
iudgeth
according
to
euery
mans
workes

they

passe
The
instrumentall
cause
Epicures
,
▪
Atheists
,
o●
Origenists
▪
,
some
hoping
there
is
no
God
,
some
,
that
he
regardeth
nothing
;
others
,
that
his
grace
is
vniuersall
;
or
any
other
〈◊〉
of
man
;
they
are
vaine
and
deceitfull
;
and
,
with
whatsoeuer
large
promises
they
doe
for
a
time
beguile
men
,
they
yeeld
no
comfort
at
●eed
▪
but
are
a
●aets
Tent
to
the
wearie
,
a
dangerous
repose
.
The
subiect
to
which
hope
belongeth
▪
is
onely
a
Christian
mind
:
for
as
faith
,
so
hope
is
proper
to
them
.
If
the
vnbeleeuer
&
wicked
man
hope
for
pardon
,
and
life
euerlasting
,
his
hope
is
in
vaine
:
I
must
say
to
him
,
as
Peter
to
Simon
Magus
,
Thou
hast
neither
part
〈◊〉
fellowship
in
this
businesies
for
thine
heart
is
not
right
in
the
sight
of
God
;
I
see
thou
art
in
the
gall
of
bitternesse
,
and
in
the
bond
of
iniquitie
.
If
the
Noble
,
great
or
rich
man
would
bee
comforted
with
it
,
he
must
know
,
all
that
he
hath
in
the
world
cannot
purchase
the
least
dram
of
it
.
If
any
p●ophane
Es●●
(
who
hateth
to
bee
reformed
)
shall
seeke
it
with
teares
,
and
cry
in
the
bitternesse
of
his
soule
,
Blesse
mee
,
euen
mee
also
,
my
Father
;
the
best
we
can
promise
,
is
,
the
fatnesse
of
the
earth
shall
be
thy
dwelling
place
:
but
this
hope
appertaineth
only
to
the
sonnes
of
God
.
Concerning
the
object
of
hope
,
there
are
foure
conditions
required
.
First
,
it
must
daily
bread
,
but
bread
of
thy
stature
:
thou
hopest
for
abundance
of
riches
;
I
cannot
warrant
thy
hope
either
good
or
sound
:
for
how
canst
thou
bee
assured
,
that
that
which
thou
hopest
for
,
is
good
for
thee
?
Doest
thou
know
no
man
the
worse
for
his
wealth
?
How
canst
thou
call
that
good
,
which
hurteth
the
possessour
?
To
iudge
of
the
goodnes
them
,
look
vpon
the
things
which
God
hath
promised
his
deare
children
:
he
hath
promised
life
euerlasting
:
hee
hath
promised
,
not
to
faile
thee
nor
forsake
ard●●m
▪
which
the
Saint
hopeth
for
.
Thirdly
,
we
doe
with
patience
abide
for
it
.
Those
worldly
men
▪
whose
faiths
are
tender-eyed
▪
and
cannot
look
beyond
things
present
;
those
impatient
Esan's
,
who
for
their
present
supplies
▪
make
so
base
an
estimate
▪
What
profit
shall
this
birth-right
do●
to
me
▪
haue
not
hope
▪
whose
proper
obiect
is
future
▪
because
hee
was
fully
assured
,
that
he
which
had
promised
,
was
able
to
doe
it
.
Such
is
our
hope
,
that
except
it
take
wing
,
and
mount
aboue
our
senses
,
it
shall
euer
bee
carnall
and
fraile
.
It
is
true
,
that
which
is
impossible
to
man
,
may
be
,
and
is
sometimes
an
obiect
of
true
hope
,
because
it
is
possible
with
God
:
but
that
which
is
impossible
with
God
,
can
neuer
be
apprehended
by
any
sound
hope
,
how
possible
soeuer
it
seeme
to
a
deceiued
man
.
Hence
it
appeareth
,
that
the
hope
which
expecteth
Gods
conniuence
in
point
of
iustice
,
his
iniustice
in
the
obstinate
sinners
impunitie
,
is
wicked
and
desperate
:
when
the
wicked
will
blesse
himselfe
in
his
rebellion
,
and
thinke
by
crying
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
howeuer
he
will
enioy
the
pleasures
of
sinne
for
a
season
,
yet
to
find
mercy
:
when
the
adulterer
,
oppressour
,
drunkard
,
or
malicious
man
,
shall
continue
in
their
sinne
,
and
yet
pray
in
hope
:
when
theeues
or
deceiuers
keepe
another
mans
goods
in
their
hands
,
Salomons
▪
That
shish
merchants
,
(
Iacobs
words
without
Iacobs
meaning
;
)
giue
him
but
that
poore
obiect
of
his
ambition
,
hee
careth
for
no
more
.
Are
these
the
hopes
which
can
relieue
a
distressed
soule
?
Shall
Cain's
Henoch
,
Lastly
,
we
must
examine
our
hopes
by
its
effects
,
and
adiuncts
,
the
effects
are
many
.
It
giueth
a
man
the
true
ground
of
Religion
,
by
teaching
him
to
thinke
more
humbly
of
his
owne
works
,
and
not
to
depend
vpon
himselfe
.
This
is
the
cause
why
God
doth
sometimes
giue
trials
:
Wee
receiued
the
sentence
of
death
in
our selues
,
because
wee
should
not
trust
in
our selues
,
but
in
God
which
raiseth
the
dead
.
It
will
bee
a
perpetuall
comfort
euen
in
afflictions
,
which
he
beareth
The
adiuncts
of
hope
are
many
:
1.
Preparation
and
alacritie
of
mind
,
lest
any
thing
should
hinder
vs
in
that
we
hope
for
.
Hope
keepeth
Let
vs
also
,
seeing
we
are
compassed
with
so
great
a
cloud
of
witnesses
,
cast
away
euery
thing
that
presseth
downe
:
—
Let
vs
run
with
patience
the
race
that
is
set
before
vs
.
He
that
hath
a
firme
hope
,
shall
so
prepare
for
it
,
that
,
if
need
require
,
hee
shall
part
with
●hings
pleasing
and
necessatie
:
2.
An
holy
life
is
an
ad●●nct
,
Bee
sob●r
and
trust
perfectly
on
the
gr●●●
that
is
brought
vnto
〈◊〉
saith
Saint
Peter
:
euery
man
that
hath
this
hope
in
him
,
pargeth
himselfe
as
he
is
p●re
.
It
is
a
dangerous
hope
which
the
wicked
haue
:
either
resolue
to
bee
holy
,
or
be
assured
,
whateuer
hope
thou
conceiuest
,
it
is
de●●ifull
and
damnable
.
True
hope
,
like
Aarons
Miter
beareth
this
golden
inscription
(
fastned
to
it
with
that
●itta
●yacin●hina
,
the
blood
of
●ol●nesse
,
to
the
Lord
.
3.
Another
adiunct
of
sound
hope
is
constancy
:
for
the
Spirit
of
God
will
still
follow
it
with
fresh
vigour
,
and
secretly
dictate
ioyfull
hope
perfectly
,
or
to
if
wee
continue
grounded
and
established
in
the
faith
,
and
bee
not
mooued
away
from
the
hope
of
the
Gospell
.
We
are
Christs
,
if
wee
hold
fast
the
confidence
,
and
the
reioycing
of
the
hope
vnto
the
end
.
It
is
not
hard
to
conceiue
hope
for
a
time
,
the
danger
is
in
the
delay
.
When
we
consider
what
wee
haue
hoped
for
,
and
amongst
many
secular
cares
,
and
present
trials
,
loose
sight
of
our
hope
,
and
cannot
tell
what
is
become
of
it
;
when
it
tarrieth
4.
A
fourth
adiunct
of
hope
,
is
loue
of
God
,
and
of
our
brethren
:
Hope
is
,
as
it
were
,
the
breath
of
loue
,
which
may
gaspe
and
retaine
the
pangs
of
a
dying
passion
for
a
little
time
;
it
cannot
liue
without
it
.
We
cannot
be
happie
,
except
we
loue
God
;
nor
loue
him
,
except
wee
can
truely
hope
,
and
trust
in
him
;
and
it
is
impossible
(
though
some
Giue
diligence
to
make
your
calling
and
election
sure
,
for
if
yee
doe
these
things
,
ye
shall
neuer
fall
.
5.
To
these
may
bee
added
many
more
,
as
,
boldnes
in
professing
the
name
of
Christ
,
meekenesse
,
temperance
,
Sanctifie
the
Lord
God
in
your
hearts
,
and
be
ready
alwayes
to
giue
an
answer
to
euery
man
that
asketh
you
a
reason
of
the
hope
that
is
i●
you
,
with
meekenesse
and
re●erence
,
hauing
a
good
conscience
.
By
these
and
such
like
adiuncts
,
and
effects
of
hope
,
examine
and
iudge
of
thy
condition
,
and
do
not
blindly
trust
to
that
which
may
deceiue
thee
:
all
are
not
good
hopes
,
which
promise
much
good
:
thou
shalt
meet
with
many
wrangling
Labans
,
often
changing
the
couenant
,
which
howsoeuer
surely
the
wicked
make
with
the
graue
and
hell
,
yet
the
wages
of
sinne
is
death
.
To
trust
in
any
but
God
,
is
to
leane
to
a
falling
wall
.
To
these
rules
of
examination
,
and
that
which
may
be
gathered
from
that
which
hath
▪
beene
formerly
said
▪
concerning
the
examination
,
reformation
of
the
soule
,
and
sequestration
to
an
holy
soliloquie
,
let
a
man
also
put
these
following
rules
in
practice
,
for
the
obraining
and
strengthening
of
a
sound
hope
.
1.
In
euery
affliction
which
shaketh
thy
hope
,
consider
the
iustice
and
mercy
of
God
:
it
much
abateth
the
violence
of
griefe
to
consider
the
equitie
of
him
▪
that
striketh
,
whose
iudgements
,
though
they
are
often
secret
,
yet
they
are
alwayes
iust
.
The
Emperour
Maurici●s
expressed
the
greatnes
of
his
afflicted
minde
▪
when
,
to
aggrauate
his
own
death
now
imminent
,
at
Phocas
command
,
his
wife
and
children
being
butchered
before
his
face
,
he
onely
said
▪
Iust
art
then
,
O
Lord
and
right
is
thy
indgement
.
It
would
easily
stop
out
complaints
,
〈◊〉
we
could
truly
consider
,
what
wee
haue
deserued
;
how
much
greater
,
and
more
frequent
out
sinnes
are
,
then
our
punishments
.
Herein
if
we
learnt
patience
,
we
must
looke
for
hope
in
the
issue
of
our
tryals
,
considering
that
God
correcteth
vs
,
to
saue
vs
,
and
that
all
things
must
be
good
,
Hilari
.
in
Psal.
62.
which
come
from
him
,
who
,
as
God
,
is
merci●ull
aswell
as
powerfull
,
and
cannot
but
be
good
.
This
well
vnderstood
,
shall
make
thee
know
that
estate
,
which
thou
so
much
abhorrest
,
thinking
thy selfe
vnhappie
in
it
,
is
best
for
▪
thee
.
I
but
thou
vrgest
thy
▪
present
enduring
many
things
,
not
only
inconuenient
,
but
intolerable
.
I
answer
in
this
one
saying
of
my
text
,
hope
in
God
.
Doest
thou
not
hope
in
him
▪
I
can
giue
thee
no
comfort
.
Doest
thou
indeed
hope
in
him
?
Why
art
thou
disconsolate
?
Thou
saiest
,
Because
my
present
estate
is
calamitous
,
and
euill
.
I
say
so
too
,
if
thy
hope
bee
in
riches
,
pleasures
,
or
any
thing
which
thou
doest
now
,
or
▪
canst
want
hereafter
:
but
if
it
be
in
God
,
how
can
it
bee
bu●
good
,
which
he
giueth
those
that
depend
on
him
?
Nam●
me
that
man
who
trusted
in
the
Lord
,
&
perished
.
Sayst
thou
,
It
is
euill
for
me
which
I
suffer
?
Whether
can
best
judge
,
what
is
good
for
thee
,
the
patient
or
the
Phisicion
,
God
or
thy selfe
?
Thou
wilt
say
,
God
knoweth
.
I
returne
to
my
ground
,
if
then
thou
doe
hope
in
him
,
doest
thou
not
hope
he
is
a
good
&
gracious
God
,
and
will
doe
the
best
forthee
?
Doest
thou
not
think
him
omnipotent
,
and
not
to
be
preuented
?
Doest
thou
not
think
him
omniscient
,
&
not
to
be
deceiued
?
Doest
thou
not
think
hee
loueth
thee
most
tenderly
;
&
therfore
in
his
loue
and
mercy
,
wil
make
all
things
,
euen
afflictions
,
work
for
the
best
〈◊〉
thee
?
Learne
therefore
to
●●●cerne
,
&
know
the
work
of
God
in
thy
correction
,
and
thou
shalt
haue
hope
.
They
that
know
thy
name
will
put
their
trust
in
thee
,
for
then
,
Lord
,
hast
not
forsaken
them
that
seeke
thee
.
2.
Learne
to
liue
within
thy selfe
,
and
set
not
thy
hopes
on
things
externall
;
for
as
they
change
,
they
●●rment
.
He
that
maketh
the
testimony
of
Gods
Spirit
which
is
within
him
,
his
ioy
,
his
hope
,
his
delight
,
shall
be
cheerefull
and
constantly
resolued
,
when
hee
shall
heare
the
ambitious
crying
out
for
the
wheeles
vnconstancy
,
in
which
hee
trusted
,
and
great
Fauorites
,
whilest
they
liue
,
dead
of
the
falling
sicknesse
.
Call
home
thy
thoughts
,
thy
desires
,
thy
hopes
,
from
the
tumultuous
world
;
and
teach
them
〈◊〉
●iue
within●
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
let
them
wait
in
that
liuing
temple
,
where
the
glorious
and
blessed
Spirit
of
God
manifesteth
his
gracious
presence
,
to
the
secrets
of
thy
soule
;
thinke
there
is
no
beauty
,
strength
,
health
,
〈◊〉
pleasures
or
〈…〉
not
〈◊〉
and
〈…〉
consideri●
,
thou
shal●
free
thy

soule
from
a
thousand
〈◊〉
and
〈…〉
which
thou
〈◊〉
not
auoide
;
〈◊〉
thou
will
depend
vpon
any
thing
externall
,
or
of
the
world
,
whose
in●essand
changes
will
neuer
suffer
thy
〈…〉
.
3.
Leaue
thy
false
,
and
seeke
confidence
in
God
,
that
is
,
leane
not
to
thy
f●lse
,
but
to
him
;
we
must
forsake
our selues
,
to
follow
Christ
,
it
is
so
in
hoping
also
▪
Wouldst
thou
not
haue
thine
heart
troubled
(
saith
Augustine
?
)
remaine
not
in
thy selfe
.
Hope
in
the
soule
,
was
like
the
●ree
of
life
in
Eden
;
but
since
we
haue
sinned
,
we
are
,
as
it
were
,
cast
out
from
it
,
and
it
is
k●pt
by
feare
,
as
with
a
fiery
sword
,
whose
blandishing
b●rreth
vs
from
an
euill
confidence
in
our selues
,
that
we
might
seek
a
better
,
eud
than
tree
of
life
in
the
holy
City
,
where
shall
bee
no
more
ourse
,
no
more
feare
,
Dauid
cry●●h
in
his
affliction
,
O
that
I
had
〈…〉
then
would
〈…〉
Whither
wouldest
thou
〈◊〉
awav
,
blessed
man
of
God
?
Where
is
that
wildernesse
?
From
God
?
Thou
canst
not
:
From
the
World
?
What
is
the
worst
thereof
,
if
thou
hurt
not
thy selfe
?
from
himselfe
to
God
,
is
the
securest
flight
.
So
long
as
we
depend
vpon
our selues
,
we
shall
neuer
haue
a
found
hope
,
and
therefore
neuer
be
quiet
within
our selues
;
except
a

they

to
be

Hee
that

learne
patience

must
accustome
himself

patiently

For

Experience

3.
The
free
couenant
of
God
,
assured

by
his
grace
and
holy
Spirit
of
adoption
,
whereby
we
claime
an
assured
interest
,
and
call
him
our
God
,
our
Father
.
This
repetition
of
the
same
sence
,
importeth
,
that
Dauid
had
not
absolutely
vanquished
his
temptations
at
one
encounter
,
but
that
hee
was
compelled
to
re-inforce
and
strengthen
his
mind
afresh
.
[
yet
]
in
my
Text
,
is
an
enforcing
particle
,
and
of
great
waight
▪
Grieuous
are
still
blossome
,
and
in
their
age
shall
bee
lustie
and
greene
;
implying
a
strength
,
aboue
and
against
the
many
weaknesses
of
that
age
,
which
may
seeme
to
end
that
vigour
:
so
Psalme
141.
5.
For
,
yet
,
my
prayer
shall
be
in
their
miseries
:
as
if
he
had
said
;
Though
their
wilfulnesse
bee
such
,
as
that
the
greatest
compassion
can
hardly
ouercome
it
;
yet
,
I
shall
pitty
them
in
their
destruction
.
So
doth
he
put
the
particle
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
which
he
vseth
six
times
in
one
Psalme
,
as
it
I
shall

praise
him
.
So
Ionah
said
.
I
am
cast
away
out
of
thy
sight
,
yet
will
I
looke
againe
toward
thine
holy
Temple
.
In
that
he
saith
,
hee
shall
praise
him
,
it
sheweth
hee
was
confident
of
deliuerance
:
so
that
here
are
two
things
:
-
1.
Confidence
,
-
2.
Resolution
.
I
shall
yet
praise
him
,
I
beleeue
,
and
stand
assured
of
helpe
:
and
vpon
this
supposition
,
I
resolue
,
I
will
praise
him
.
in
hope
,
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
it
is
their
confidence
:
as
I
haue
sayed
,
were
it
not
for
hope
,
I
see
not
what
comfort
were
in

the
world
.
Hee
that
loueth
an
hopelesse
estate
,
knoweth
not
sorrow
in
a
world
of
sorrow
:
all
(
but
for
this
)
would
be
,
either
a
sad
visage
of
helplesse
misery
,
or
a
foolish
,
of
vaine
reioycers
.
And
what
were
hope
,
without
assurance
,
but
a
painfull
hanging
betwixt
ioy
and
sorrow
?
What
were
hope
,
without

,
though
with
all
confidence
,
but
a
blinde
presumption
,

and
obstinate
opinion
of

Therfore
he
armeth
his

▪
are
our
present
swe●tnesse
and
good
fruites
.
The
third
is
the
hope
of
glory
,
in
which
we
expect
the
resurrection
of
our
bodies
,
life
euerlasting
,
and
saluation
,
perfect
happines
in
the
sight
and
fruition
of
God
▪
the
sole
and
chiefe
good
,
and
fountaine
of
all
communicated
goodnesse
and
blessednesse
.
Of
this
estate
,
many
excellent
things
are
spoken
in
holy
Writ
:
My
flesh
shall
rest
in
hope
:
—
tho●
hast
shewed
me
the
wayes
of
life
,
and
shalt
make
me
full
of
ioy
with
thy
countenance
:
—
in
thy
presence
is
the
fulnesse
of
ioy
,
and
at
thy
right
hand
there
are
pleasures
for
euermore
.
Vnder
this
hope
the
Saints
reioyce
,
yea
euen
in
trib●lations
;
the●
presently
conceiuing
,
what
shall
be
the
issue
of
those
tryals
;
because
God
loueth
them
,
and
therefore
Who
shall
separate
vs
from
the
loue
:
of
Christ
?
Shall
tribulation
,
or
anguish
,
or
persecution
,
or
famine
,
or
nakednesse
,
or
perill
,
or
sword
?
as
it
is
written
,
for
thy
sake
are
we
killed
all
the
day
long
,
we●
are
counted
as
sheepe
for
the
slaughter
:
Neuerthelesse
in
all
these
things
we
are
more
then
conquerours
through
him
that
loued
vs
:
For
I
am
persuaded
,
that
neither
death
,
nor
life
,
nor
Angels
,
nor
principalities
,
nor
things
present
,
nor
things
to
come
,
—
shall
be
able
to
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
God
,
which
is
in
Christ
Iesus
our
Lord
.
The
reason
of
this
so
great
assurance
,
hee
set
downe
before
:
God
doth
not
hide
his
loue
,
and
bestow
niggardly
fauours
;
his
loue
is
shed
abroad
in
our
hearts
,
by
the
Holy
▪
Ghost
,
which
is
giuen
vnto
vs
;
and
this
Spirit
of
adoption
beareth
witnesse
with
our
spirit
,
that
we
are
the
children
of
GOD
,
coheires
with
Christ
;
and
therefore
resolueth
vs
,
if
wee
suffer
with
him
,
wee
shall
bee
glorified
with
him
,
and
that
our
glory
shall
abound
heereafter
,
as
doe
our
present
sufferings
in
Christ
:
this
Spirit
doth
say
to
our
hearts
,
as
hee
did
to
Ioshua
,
I
will
not
leaue
thee
nor
forsake
thee
,
bee
strong
and
of
a
good
courage
.
And
out
of
the
infallible
truth
of
these
promises
written
in
his
holy
Word
,
we
gather
the
certainety
of
our
deliuerance
.
And
forasmuch
as
all
cannot
appropriate
those
generall
promises
to
themselues
who
heare
them
,
it
must
needs
be
,
that
the
application
thereof
to
our selues
,
is
a
peculiar
worke
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
inwardly
sustaining
,
in
euery
assault
,
with
fresh
strength
and
resolution
:
and
therefore
he
is
the
paraclete
,
because
he
comforteth
.
To
this
inward
assistance
,
God
sometimes
addeth
an
outward
euidence
of
his
powe●
:
as
when
he
appeared
to
Ioshua
by
Ierico
,
like
a
man
,
hauing
his
sword
drawne
in
his
hand
▪
thus
answering
Ioshua
▪
that
hee
was
come
as
a
Captaine
of
the
Lords
Host
.
So
at
El●●hs
prayer
,
he
opened
the
seruants
eyes
,
and
hee
saw
the
mountaine
full
of
Horses
and
Charriots
of
fire
▪
round
about
the
Prophet
.
So
there
was
added
a
fourth
▪
(
whose
forme
was
like
the
Sonne
of
God
)
to
the
three
seruants
of
God
,
walking
with
them
in
the
middest
of
the
fire
,
so
that
they
had
no
hurt
.
It
is
a
memorable
story
of
Theodorus
the
Martyr
,
who
being
grieuously
tortured
,
saw
a
young
man
standing
by
him
,
with
a
soft
and
coole
Towell
,
continually
wiping
off
the
sweat
,
and
encouraging
him
:
all
which
time
,
and
,
till
at
the
end
of
their
tormenting
he
vanished
;
he
felt
no
paine
.
Both
the
inward
and
outward
assistance
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
is
to
comfort
his
,
with
assurance
that
hee
will
alwayes
make
good
his
promises
to
them
,
that
he
wil
neuer
leaue
them
comfortlesse
▪
Whence
wee
may
learne
,
that
the
faithfull
haue
such
assistance
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
as
that
,
how-euer
they
long
wrestle
with
afflictions
,
yet
they
are
,
not
only
in
the
issue
,
but
in
the
very
tryall
,
superious
by
faith
.
This
is
the
victory
that
ouercommeth
the
world
,
euen
our
faith
.
And
Paul
saith
,
In
all
these
,
we
are
more
then
conquerours
,
through
him
that
loued
vs
.
There
is
no
comfort
to
the
afflicted
minde
,
comparable
to
this
assurance
:
I
shall
yet
praise
him
:
Dauid
knew
it
,
and
therefore
penned
this
Psalme
,
to
comfort
his
owne
soule
:
many
of
the
faithfull
haue
knowne
it
,
who
vpon
their
death-beds
haue
sung
this
Psalme
.
The
onely
way
in
present
distresses
to
stay
a
perplexed
soule
,
is
to
send
it
to
blessednesse
to
come
:
therefore
Christ
,
who
could
doe
all
things
which
he
would
,
sometimes
led
away
his
petitioners
for
things
temporall
,
to
the
consideration
of
eternall
.
Martha
commeth
to
him
,
with
a
zealous
desire
that
her
brother
might
liue
againe
:
hee
telleth
her
of
a
I
am
the
resurrection
and
the
life
,
whosoeuer
beleeueth
in
mee
,
though
he
were
dead
,
yet
shall
be
line
:
and
whosoeuer
liueth
and
beleeueth
in
mee
,
shall
not
dye
eternally
.
So
hee
dealt
with
the
man
sicke
of
the
Palsie
,
when
he
desired
corporall
health
,
Iesus
saith
,
Man
,
thy
sinnes
are
forgiuen
thee
:
Leading
away
their
thoughts
,
for
the
present
,
too
carefully
fixed
on
the
euill
they
suffer
,
to
a
sweet
contemplation
of
those
heauenly
things
which
they
shall
enioy
.
There
is
no
solid
consolation
in
things
present
;
therefore
it
must
bee
sought
for
in
the
future
.
Thus
therefore
reckon
with
thy selfe
:
How
little
is
that
which
I
suffer
,
in
comparison
of
that
I
shall
enioy
?
How
long
can
I
suffer
here
?
If
God
please
,
and
see
it
best
for
me
,
he
will
deliuer
mee
now
;
if
not
,
it
must
be
euill
to
obtaine
that
which
God
seeth
not
good
for
mee
:
I
am
in
the
Lords
hands
:
bee
not
cast
downe
,
Ô
my
soule
,
for
,
I
shall
yet
praise
him
.
If
as
often
as
we
were
any
waies
disquieted
,
wee
would
presently
say
with
the
Psalmist
,
Returne
vnto
thy
rest
,
ô
my
I
shall
yet
praise
him
,
implyeth
,
he
will
praise
him
,
when
he
shall
please
to
deliuer
him
.
Good
men
,
euen
in
afflictions
and
wants
,
doe
resolue
,
not
to
bury
the
mercies
of
God
,
but
to
praise
him
for
them
.
Iaakob
in
his
pouertie
vowed
a
vow
,
saying
;
If
God
will
be
with
mee
,
and
keepe
mee
in
this
iourney
which
I
goe
,
and
will
giue
mee
bread
to
eate
,
and
clothes
to
put
on
,
so
that
I
come
againe
to
my
fathers
house
in
safety
,
then
shall
the
Lord
be
my
God
.
Ionah
vowed
,
Dauid
vowed
in
his
trouble
;
all
good
men
doe
so
in
their
afflictions
.
It
is
a
sweet
comfort
,
to
vow
,
or
resolue
to
prayse
the
Lord
:
such
purposes
are
like
These
vowes
must
they
remember
,
whom
God
hath
heard
,
whether
in
publike
,
or
priuate
delinerances
,
lest
God
meete
more
seuerely
with
them
,
for
their
neglect
and
ingratitude
.
Lastly
,
wee
may
hence
perceiue
,
how
much
the
seruants
of
God
differ
from
worldly
men
.
Dauid
in
his
affliction
,
thinketh
and
resolueth
to
praise
God
:
these
either
thinke
I
shall
liue
to
be
reuenged
,
or
to
haue
my
will
,
to
enioy
the
pleasures
of
sinne
;
either
they
do
not
resolue
to
be
thankfull
,
but
forget
God
who
helped
them
,
or
resolue
not
to
bee
thankfull
,
but
to
serue
sinne
.
There
are
but
few
Dauids
,
who
resolue
to
praise
God
,
or
who
praise
him
whateuer
they
resolue
.
Are
not
tenne
clensed
?
Where
are
the
other
nine
?
There
are
many
receiuers
,
but
few
thanksgiuers
:
it
becommeth
well
the
iust
to
be
thankefull
;
the
Who
is
the
helpe
of

HE

,
that

:
he
ascribeth

hast
giuen

Our
Psalmist
had
many
valiant
men
,
&
well
ordred
troupes
of
disciplined
souldiers
and
,
where
most
renoumed
Generals
fight
with
their
heads
,
their
wisdome
and
policie
,
his
enemies
were
well
acquainted
with
the
force
of
his
owne
hands
;
yet
he
acknowledgeth
,
The
helpe
of
Gods
countenance
,
is
the
declaration
of
his
fauour
and
protection
:
of
which
he
speaketh
in
the
fifth
verse
.
Here
hee
saith
,
God
is
the
helpe
of
my
countenance
:
because
,
God
by
his
ready
assistance
,
and
frequent
declaration
thereof
,
did
assure
him
,
and
giue
him
countenance

And
he
speaketh
,
as
it
were
by
way
of
a
priuate
appeale
,
euen
to
his
enemies
,
that
hee
was
not
daunted
and
appalled
,
but
durst
looke

proudest

in

and

ioy
and
assurance
maketh

countenance
stedfast

Sense
of
their
sinnes
remission
,
and
peace
of
conscience
:
sinne
in
the
conscience
deiecteth
the
soule
,
it
is
an
inward
wound
,
something
at
the
heart
:
till
that
bee
remooued
,
there
can
bee
no
good
countenance
,
wee
dare
not
looke
God
in
the
face
,
wee
are
afraid
to
thinke

him
:
Sin●e
is
the
confusion

The
Publican
Lord

m●rcifull
to
me
a
sinner

The
first
man
was
not
ashamed
of
his
nakednesse
,
till
sinne
discounte●anced
him
,
&
made
him
ashamed
at
the
presence
of
God
.
There
are
two
reasons
why
the
sinner
must
needs
be
confounded
at
the
presence
of
God
:
1.
Because
he
,
who
acting
his
sin
,
said
in
his
heart
▪
None
shall
see
,
findeth
now
by
the
checkes
of
his
own
conscience
,
he
cannot
hide
from
God
,
nor
flee
from
his
indgements
.
2.
Because
the
very
presence
of
the
iust
is
an
intolerable
torment
to
the
guilty
▪
which
maketh
the
sinner
tremble
at
As
a
thiefe
is
ashamed
when
he
is
found
,
so
is
the
House
of
Israel
.
Ioseph
vrged
many
sound
reasons
,
to
haue
diuerted
the
importunitie
of
any
,
but
a
wicked
woman
:
his
Masters
trust
in
him
(
it
were
basenesse
to
deceiue
trust
)
his
fauours
to
him
(
it
were
impietie
to
requite
those
with
treacherie
;
)
but
the
maine
was
,

By
giuing
sanctification
and
holinesse
:
while
we
●ye
in
sinne
,
we
can
haue
u●
peace
of
conscience
,
therefore
no
health
of
countenance
.
The
wicked
may
haue
confident
faces

fo●eheads

such
as

you
shall

they

In
giuing
supplies

by
his
euer-present
,
and
all-seeing
Prouidence
:
The
Lord
is
my
Shepheard
,
I
shall
not
want
.
How-euer
the
Saints
crie
in
their
distresses
,
as
the
Disciples
in
the
storme
;
Master
,
carest
thou
not
that
●e
perish
?
yet
they
are
assured
of
his
assistance
:
he
is
with
Israel
in
the
Desart
,
with
Iacob
in
his
iourney
,
with
Eliah
at
Chebar
,
with
the
widow
at
Sarephat
,
with
the
Children
in
the
fornace
:
it
is
easier
to
say
all
in
one
word
,
then
much
lesse
,
in
many
:
he
is
euery
where
,
ready
to
supply
his
.
Such
experience
doth
God
giue
hereof
to
his
,
that
hee
is
their
countenance
:
experience
is
the
cause
of
that
hope
,
which
maketh
them
not
ashamed
:
I
was
(
saith
Paul
)
▪
deliuered
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
Lyon
;
and
,
The
Lord
will
deliuer
me
from
euery
euill
worke
;
and
will
preserue
mee
vnto
his
heauenly
kingdome
.
And
againe
,
I
am
not
ashamed
;
for
I
know
whom
I
haue
beleeued
▪
It
is
an
vsuall
argument
of
comfort
with
the
Saints
of
God
.
Afflictions
begin
fiercely
,
he
hath
done
all
things
well
.
And
thou
shalt
be
more
and
more
assured
,
hee
that
saued
sinners
,
will
not
condemne
the
iust
:
he
that
spared
his
enemies
,
will
not
cast
away
a
sonne
:
none
but
the
forgetfull
and
ingratefull
want
these
arguments
.
And
my
God

MY
God
:
by
that
free

portion
of
Iacob
is
not

for
he
is
maker

things

is
his
name
.
This
is
Dauids
God
.
Doth
any
aske
of
his
Power

it
is
infinite
:
of
his
Mercy
?
it
is
infinite

of
his

had

The

mav
know

No
question
but
Dauid
comforted
himselfe
with
this
;
and
thereby
sheweth
vs
the
only
ground
of
solid
comfort
,
which
is
in
and
against
euery
affliction
,
to
labour
for
a
true
sense
of
our
interest
in
God
,
and
that
through
his
Couenant
of
grace
in
Iesus
Christ
.
The
For
first
,
there
can
be
no
good
and
true
consolation
without
this
,
as
appeareth
by
that
which
hath
beene
said
:
for
there
is
no
peace
to
the
wicked
;
neither
is
there
any
such
heauie
affliction
,
as
that
which
assaileth
a
guiltie
mind
,
an
heart
and
conscience
without
God
and
goodnesse
:
where
,
at
the
sight
of
danger
,
the
memory
telleth
the
wretch
within
,
of
an
innocent
Iosephs
blood
,
a
Naboths
Vineyard
,
an
Orphanes
goods
in
his
house
,
or
the
like
sinne
,
for
which
,
God
is
his
enemie
;
for
which
,
the
desperate
and
appalled
conscience
fainteth
,
and
perswadeth
him
,
God
is
now
come
to
take
vengeance
.
Neither
are
the
prosperous
wicked
in
any
better
case
,
all
that
comfort
which
they
seeme
to
haue
,
is
but
as
a
short
beguiling
dreame
of
happines
to
some
wretched
man
:
these
differing
no
more
then
two
condemned
men
,
one
now
vnder
the
tormentors
hand
,
the
other
in
the
Gaolers
,
and
presently
to
take
his
turne
.
To
leaue
these
,
the
seruants
of
God
know
themselues
,
they
had
no
true
comfort
in
any
tryall
,
vntill
they
were
assured
that
God
was
their
God
,
and
they
his
seruants
.

we
must
know

that

can

whether
