O
Eternall
God
,
and
most
gratious
Father
,
wee
confesse
that
by
our
manifold
transgressions
,
we
have
deserved
whatsoever
thy
Law
hath
threatned
against
sinners
,
Our
contempt
of
thy
Divine
Service
is
great
,
and
wee
heare
thy
word
,
but
obey
it
not
.
Our
charity
to
our
neighbour
is
cold
,
and
our
devotion
to
thee
is
frozen
.
Religion
is
with
us
,
as
in
too
many
places
besides
,
made
but
a
pretence
for
other
ends
then
thy
Service
;
and
there
hath
beene
little
or
no
care
among
us
to
keepe
truth
and
peace
together
,
for
the
preserving
of
our
Church
and
State
.
Forgive
us
,
O
Lord
,
forgive
as
these
,
and
all
other
our
grievous
sinnes
,
&c.
Surely
the
Lord
is
in
this
place
,
and
we
knew
it
not
:
Whereas
●n
tius
work
thore
is
often
mention
ma●e
of
the
Church
,
therby
(
wheresoever
it
is
used
for
to
signfi●
those
unto
whom
all
people
owe
most
faithfull
obedienc●
)
is
to
be
understood
:
the
Church
representative
,
where
of

Canon

And
Canon
140.
saith
That
the
booke
of
Common
prayer
containeth
in
it
nothing
contrary
to
the
Word
of
God
,
and
that
it
may
lawfully
so
bee
used
,
and
that
hee
himselfe
will
use
the
forme
in
the
said
booke
prescribed
in
Publike
prayer
,
and
administration
of
the
Sacraments
,
and
none
other
.
The
Book
of
Consecration
of
Archbishops
,
and
Bishops
,
and
ordering
of
Priests
and
Deacons
,
lately
set
forth
in
the
time
of
the
sixt
,
and
confirmed
at
the
same
time
by
Authority
of
Parliament
,
doth
containe
all
things
necessarie
to
such
Consecration
and
ordering
:
neither
hath
it
any
thing
that
of
it selfe
is
superstitious
and
ungodly
.
And
therefore
,
whosoever
are
consecrated
or
ordered
according
to
the
Rites
of
that
booke
,
since
the
second
yeare
of
the
aforenamed
King
unto
this
time
,
or
hereafter
,
shall
be
consecrated
or
ordered
according
to
the
same
Rites
,
we
decree
all
such
to
be
rightly
,
orderly
,
and
lawfully
consecrated

.
That

alloweth
the

of
Articles
of

agreed

holden
at
London
in

of
our
Lord
God
,
one

and
that
he
acknowledgeth
all
and
every
the
Articles
therein
contained
,
being
in
number
nine
and
thirty
,
besides
the
Ratification
,
to

The
second
booke
of
Homilies
,
the
severall
titles
whereof
we
have
joyned

doth
containe
a
godly

,
as
doth
the
former
booke
of
Homilies
,
which
were
set
forth
in
the
time
of

and
therefore
we
judge
them
to
be
read
in

by

diligently
and
distinctly
,
that
they
may
bee
understanded

Who

with

will
we
prevaile
,
our

,
who
is
Lord
over

?
The
Lord
shall
cut
off
the

that
speaketh

Without
controversie
great
is
the
mysterie
of
godlinesse
:
desire
to
be
teachers
,
understanding
neither
what
they
say
,
nor
whereof
they
affirme
.
hee
spake
the
word
unto
the
people
,
as
they
were
able
to
heare
it
.
That
faith
is
the
first
entry
into
the
Christian
life
:
Rom.
10.18
All
the
earth
doth
worship
thee
the
Father
euerlasting
.
To
thee
all
Angels
cry
aloud
,
the
Heauens
and
all
the
powers
therein
.
To
the●
Cherubin
and
Seraphin
continually
do
cry
:
Holy
,
holy
,
holy
,
Lord
God
of
Sabaoth
.
Heauen
and
earth
is
full
of
the
Maiesty
of
thy
glory
.
The
Catholike
Faith
is
this
,
That
we
worship
one
God
in
Trinitie
,
and
Trinitie
in
Vnitie
:
Neither
confounding
the
persons
,
nor
diuiding
the
substance
.
For
there
is
one
person
of
the
Father
,
another
of
the
Sonne
,
and
another
of
the
Holy
Ghost
.
But
the
Godhead
of
the
Father
,
of
the
Sonne
,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
is
all
one
the
glory
equall
,
the
Maiestie
co-eternall
.
Mat.
3.16.17
It
is
very
meete
,
right
,
and
our
bounden
duty
,
that
we
should
at
all
times
,
and
in
all
places
,
giue
thankes
to
thee
,
O
Lord
,
Almighty
and
euerlasting
God
,
which
art
one
God
,
one
Lord
,
not
one
onely
Person
,
but
three
Persons
in
one
substance
.
For
that
,
which
we
beleeue
of
the
glory
of
the
Father
,
the
same
we
beleeue
of
the
Sonne
,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
without
any
difference
or
inequality
.
How
can
God
,
a
most
pure
Spirit
,
whom
neuer
man
saw
,
be
expressed
by
a
grosse
bodily
,
and
visible
similitude
?
How
can
the
infinite
Maiestie
and
greatnesse
of
God
,
incomprehensible
to
mans
minde
,
much
more
not
able
to
be
compassed
with
the
sense
,
be
expressed
in
a
small
and
litle
image
?
Christ
delighteth
to
enter
and
dwell
in
that
soule
,
where
loue
and
charity
ruleth
,
and
where
peace
and
concord
is
seene
.
For
thus
wrighteth
Saint
Iohn
,
God
is
Charity
,
he
that
abideth
in
charity
,
abideth
in
God
,
and
God
in
him
.

I
beleeue

being
of

the

by
whom
all
things
were

That
he
is
the
brightnesse
of
his
Fathers
glory
,
and
a
very
cleere
Image
and
patterne
of
his
substance
.
That
Christ
is
the

Wisedome
,
The
holy
Church
throughout
all
the
World
doth
acknowledge
thine
honorable
,
true

and
onely
Sonne
,
Thou
art
the
King
of
Glory
,
O
Christ
.
Thou
art
the
euerlasting
Sonne
of
the
Father
.
The
Holy
Ghost
is
a
spirituall
and
diuine
substance
,
the
third
person
in
the
Deity
,
distinct
from
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
,
and
yet
proceeding
from
them
both
.
As
for
his
proper
nature
and
substance
,
it
is
altogether
one
with
God
the
Father
,
and
God
the
Sonne
,
that
is
to

Spirituall
,
Eternall
,
Vncreated

Incomprehensible

;
he
is
God

of
Almighty
God
,
as
though
I
would
haue
you
beleeue
,
that
it
might
be

vnto

by

.
His
sight
looketh
through
Heauen

,
and
seeth

Nothing
is

Dauid
Mercifull

who
hast
made
all

,
and
hatest
nothing
that
thou
hast

nor
wouldest
the
death

Oh

God
and
Mercifull
Father
,
which
hast
compassion

all
men
,
and
hatest
nothing
that
thou
hast

which
wouldest
not
the
death
of
a

but
that
he
should
rather
turne
from
sinne
and
be
saued
,
&c.
Dauid
Almighty
God
hath
created
and
appointed
all
things
in
Heauen
,
Earth
,
and
Waters
,
in
a
most
excellent
and
perfect
order
.
In
Heauen
hee
hath
appointed
distinct
and
seuerall
orders
and
states
of
Archangels
and
Angells
.
To
thee
all
Angels
crye
aloud
,
the
Heauens
and
all
the
powers
therein
:
To
thee
Cherubin
and
Seraphin
continually
do
crye
:
Holy
,
holy
,
holy
,
Lord
God
of
Euerlasting-God
,
which
hast
o
dayned
and
constituted
the
Services
of
all
Angels
and
Men
in
wonderfull
order
:
Mercifully
grant
that
they
which
alway
do
thee
seruice
in
Heauen
,
may
by
thine
appoyntment
succour
and
defend
vs
in
Earth
,
through
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
.
It
is
our
duty
with
the
holy
Angels
and
Archangels
,
and
with
all
the
Company
of
Heauen
,
to
laud
and
magnifie
the
glorious
name
,
euermore
praysing
him
,
and
saying
,
Holy
,
holy
,
holy
,
Lord
God
of
Hosts
,
Heauen
and
Earth
are
full
of
thy
glory
.
Glory
be
to
thee
,
O
Lord
most
high
.
That
among
all
the
Creatures
which
God
made
in
the
beginning
of
the
World
most
excellent
and
wonderfull
in
their
kinde
,
there
was
none
to
be
compared
almost
in
any
point
vnto
man
,
who
as
well
in
Body
and
Soule
exceeded
all
other
,
no
lesse
than
the
Sunne
in
brightnesse
and
light
exceedeth
euery
small
and
little
Starre
in
the
firmament
.
He
was
made
according
to
the
image
and
similitude
of
God
,
he
was
endued
with
all
kind
of
Heauenly
gifts
,
he
had
no
spotte
of
vncleannesse
in
him
,
he
was
sound
and
perfect
in
all
parts
,
both
outwardly
and
inwardly
:
his
reason
was
vncorrupt
,
his
vnderstanding
was
Pure
and
Good
,
his
Will
was
obedient
and
godly
,
he
was
made
altogether
like
vnto
God
in
righteousnesse
and
holinesse
,
&c.
Therefore
did
God
create
and
make
men
,
that
he
might
haue
whom
he
should
do
good
vnto
,
and
make
partakers
of
his
heauenly
Riches
.
notwithstanding
Gods
Commaundement
,
gaue
credit
vnto
the
Woman
,
seduced
by
the
subtile
perswasion
of
the
Serpent
,
and
so
followed
his
owne
will
,
and
left
Gods
Commaundement
.
Whereby
it
came
to
passe
,
that
as
before
he
was
blessed
,
so
now
he
was
accursed
;
as
before
hee
was
loued
,
so
now
he
was
abhorred
:
as
before
he
was
most
beautifull
and
precious
,
so
now
hee
was
most
vile
and
Wretched
in
the
sight
of
his
Lord
and
Maker
,
&c.
Which
misery
fell
not
onely
on
him
,
but
also
on
his
posterity
and
Children
for
euer
:
So
that
the
whole
Brood
of
flesh
should
sustaine
the
selfe
same
fall
and
punishment
,
which
their
fore-father
by
his
offence
most
iustly
had
deserued
.
That
it
is
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
which
moueth
him
to
say
in
Scripture
:
It
is
my
delight
to
be
with
the
children
of
men
.
It
is
his
goodnesse
that
mooueth
him
to
call
vs
vnto
him
,
to
offer
vs
his
friendship
and
presence
.
It
is
his
goodnesse
,
that
patiently
suffereth
our
straying
from
him
,
and
suffereth
vs
long
,
to
winne
vs
vnto
repentance
.
And
what
other
thing
doth
his
louing
and
gentle
voyce
spoken
in
his
Word
,
where
he
calleth
vs
to
his
presence
and
friendship
,
but
delare
his
goodnesse
only
without
regard
of
our
Worthinesse
.
The
wrath
of
God
shall
appeare
in
the
day
of
vengeance
,
which
obstinate
sinners
through
the
stubbornnesse
of
their
heart
haue
heaped
vnto
themselues
,
which
despised
the
goodnesse
,
patience
,
and
long
sufferance
of
God
,
when
hee
called
them
continually
to
Repentance
IN
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
of
Saluation
it
is
sayd
:
IESVS
CHRIST
All
haue
sinned
,
and
come
short
of
the
glory
of
God
,
being
iustified
freely
by
his
grace
through
the
redemption
that
is
in
Iesus
Ghrist
:
whom
God
hath
set
foorth
to
be
a
propitiation
through
Faith
in
his
blood
,
to
declare
his
righteousnesse
,
for
the
remission
of
sinnes
that
are
past
,
through
the
forbearance
of
God
.
To
declare
,
I
say
,
at
this
time
his
righteousnesse
that
he
may
be
iust
,
and
the
iustifier
of
him
,
which
beleeueth
in
Iesus
.
The
same
Apostle
likewise
sayth
What
the
Law
could
not
do
,
in
that
it
was
weake
through
the
flesh
,
God
sending
his
owne
Sonne
in
the
likenesse
of
sinnefull
flesh
,
and
Or
by
a
sacrifice
for
sinne
:
as
in
the
margent
:
Leu.
4.34
.
Eze.
45.23
.
&c.
Esdr.
6.17
for
sinne
condemned
sin
in
the
flesh
;
that
the
righteousnesse
of
the
Law
migh
be
fulfilled
in
vs
,
who
walke
not
after
the
flesh
,
but
after
the
Spirit
.
The
Lord
sayth
by
his
Prophet
Shall
I
count
them
pure
with
the
wicked
Ballances
,
and
with
the
Bagge
of
deceitfull
weights
?
For
the
rich
men
thereof
are
full
of
Violence
,
and
the
inhabitants
thereof
haue
spoken
lyes
,
and
their
tongue
is
deceitfull
in
their
mouth
.
In
the
beginning
of
the
Common
Prayer
it
is
sayd
concerning
iustification
:
These
Words
of
the
Lord
spoken
at
large
by
his
Prophet
,
are
;
If
the
Wicked
will
turne
from
all
his
sinnes
that
he
hath
committed
,
and
keepe
all
my
Statutes
,
and
do
that
which
is
lawfull
and
right
,
hee
shall
surely
liue
,
he
shall
not
dye
.
All
his
transgressions
that
he
hath
committed
,
they
shall
not
be
mentioned
vnto
him
,
in
his
righteousnesse
that
hee
hath
done
,
he
shall
liue
.
And
(
sayth
the
Apostle
)
beeing
iustified
by
faith
,
we
haue
peace
with
God
,
through
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
By
whom
also
wee
haue
accesse
by
faith
into
this
grace
wherein
we
stand
,
and
reioyce
in
hope
of
the
glory
of
God
.
IN
the
third
part
of
the
Homily
of
Saluation
it
is
sayd
:
In
the
Collect
for
Innocents
day
,
we
are
Divinely
taught
to
pray
,
Whence
we
may
also
learne
that
the
true
Christian
faith
is
not
a
matter
meerely
holden
in
the
mind
;
but
which
hath
its
operation
outwardly
.
And
so
Saint
In
Iesus
Christ
,
neyther
Circumcision
availeth
any
thing
,
nor
vncircumcision
;
but
Faith
which
worketh
by
loue
.
What
doth
it
profite
my
brethren
,
though
a
man
say
he
hath
faith
,
and
hath
not
workes
?
can
faith
saue
him
?
As
the
body
without
the
spirit
is
dead
,
so
faith
without
workes
is
dead
also
.
And
Iesus
the
sonne
of
Hee
that
beleeueth
in
the
Lord
taketh
heed
vnto
the
Commandement
.
Reade
all
three
parts
of
the
Homily
of
faith
;
for
in
them
the
true
Christian
faith
is
described
in
a
wonderfull
Divine
manner
.
IT
is
sayde
in
the
second
part
of
the
Homily
of
Faith
whom
Saint
spake
of
Therefore
sayth
Saint
in
his
last
Sermon
to
the
Iewes
,
making
mention
of
the
Faith
,
that
was
concerning
Christ
,
many
Ages
afore
his
Incarnation
,
relateth
what
sayd
vnto
the
Children
of
A
Prophet
shall
the
Lord
your
God
rayse
vp
vnto
you
of
your
brethren
,
like
vnto
me
,
him
shall
yee
heare
.
And
afterward
hee
sayd
:
Which
of
the
Prophets
haue
not
your
Fathers
persecuted
?
And
they
haue
slayne
them
,
which
shewed
before
of
the
comming
of
the
Iust
one
,
of
whom
yee
haue
beene
now
the
betrayers
and
murtherers
.
Christ
told
the
Iewes
:
Your
reioyced
to
see
my
day
,
and
he
saw
it
,
and
was
glad
.
He
also
sayd
:
before
was
,
I
am
.
Afore
the
dayes
of
and
the
Prophets
,
God
had
his
Priesthood
on
earth
after
the
order
of
The
which
Priesthood
did
figure
foorth
Christs
euer-lasting
Priest-hood
,
like
as
the
shaddowes
of
the
same
Priest
of
the
most
high
bringing
foorth
bread
and
Wine
vnto
ministred
vnto
him
therein
bread
and
Wine
,
euen
the
Body
and
Blood
of
Iesus
Christ
:
The
mystery
whereof
knew
,
and
all
Priests
that
were
of
his
Order
,
(
if
there
were
any
thereof
afore
or
after
him
.
)
sayd
to
the
the
Fathers
were
all
Baptized
vnto
in
the
Cloud
,
and
in
the
Sea
.
And
did
all
eate
the
same
Spiritual
meat
,
and
did
all
drinke
the
same
Spirituall
drinke
.
For
they
dranke
of
that
Spirituall
Rocke
which
followeth
them
;
and
that
Rocke
was
Christ
.
Also
all
the
people
of
that
liued
after
the
fall
,
vntill
the
Incarnation
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,

Circumcision
was
a
Sacrament
,
which
preached
vnto
the
outward
senses
the
inward
cutting
away
of
the
fore-skinne
of
the
heart
,
and
sealed
and
made
sure
in
the
hearts
of
the
circumcised
the
promise
of
God
touching
the
promised
seed
that
they
looked
for
.
We
haue
learned
that
at
what
time
soeuer
,
when
any
one
shall
be
marked
with
this
holy
sealing
(
or
signing
)
of
this
signe
of
circumcision
,
from
that
time
he
hath
a
sight
of
God
,
and
the
holy
soule
is
vnited
with
him
.
Euer
since
the
fall
of
all
that
came
of
him
haue
beene
so
blinded
through
Originall
sinne
,
that
they
haue
beene
euer
ready
to
fall
from
God
,
and
his
Law
,
and
to
inuent
a
new
way
vnto
saluation
by
Workes
of
their
owne
deuising
.
Insomuch
that
almost
all
the
World
,
forsaking
the
true
honour
of
the
onely
eternall
liuing
God
,
wandred
about
their
owne
fantasies
,
Worshipping
,
some
the
Sunne
,
the
Moone
,
&c.
Such
was
the
rudenesse
of
the
people
,
after
they
fell
to
their
owne
fantasies
,
and
left
the
eternall
liuing
God
and
his
Commandements
,
that
they
deuised
innumerable
images
and
Gods
.
In
which
errour
and
blindnesse
they
did
remaine
,
vntill
such
time
as
Almighty
God
,
pittying
the
blindnesse
of
man
,
sent
his
true
Prophet
into
the
World
,
for
to
reprooue
and
to
rebuke
this
extreame
madnesse
,
and
to
teach
the
people
to
know
the
onely
liuing
God
,
and
his
true
honour
and
worship
.
Of
old
time
God
decreed
his
wonderous
benefits
of
the
deliuerance
of
his
people
,
to
be
kept
in
memory
by
the
eating
of
the
Passeouer
,
with
his
rites
and
Ceremonies
.
That
newnesse
of
life
,
as
fruits
of
Faith
is
required
in
the
partakers
of
the
Lords
table
,
wee
may
learne
by
eating
of
the
Typicall
Lambe
,
whereunto
no
man
was
admitted
,
but
hee
that
was
a
Iew
,
that
was
circumcised
,
that
was
before
sanctified
.

Christ
our
Easter
Lambe
is
offered
vp
for
vs
,
to
slay
the
power
of
sinne
,
to
deliuer
vs
from
the
danger
thereof
,
and
to
giue
vs
examplē
to
dye
vnto
sinne
in
our
liues
.
And
let
vs
passe
ouer
the
affections
of
our
old
conuersation
,
that
wee
may
be
deliuered
from
the
bondage
thereof
,
and
rise
vp
with
Christ
.
Moses
As
God
the
Creatour
and
Lord
of
all
things
appoynted
his
Angels
and
Heauenly
Creatures
in
all
obedience
to
serue
and
to
honour
his
Maiesty
:
So
was
it
his
will
that
man
,
his
chiefe
Creature
vpon
the
earth
,
should
liue
vnder
the
obedience
of
his
Creatour
and
Lord
.
And
for
that
cause
,
God
,
as
soone
as
hee
had
Created
man
,
gaue
vnto
him
a
certaine
Precept
and
Law
,
which
hee
(
being
yet
in
the
state
of
innocency
,
and
remayning
in
Paradize
)
should
obserue
as
a
pledge
and
token
of
his
due
and
bounden
obedience
,
&c.
That
before
the
Law
was
giuen
by
the
Law
of
nature
onely
reigned
in
the
hearts
of
men
.
If
wee
bee
the
people
of
God
,
how
can
the
Word
and
Law
of
God
not
appertayne
vnto
vs
?
Saint
alleadging
one
Text
out
of
the
Olde
Testament
,
concludeth
generally
for
other
Scriptures
of
the
old
Testament
,
as
well
as
that
,
saying
:
Whatsoeuer
is
Written
before
(
meaning
in
the
old
Testament
)
is
Written
for
our
instruction
.
Which
sentence
is
most
specially
true
of
such
Writings
of
the
olde
Testament
,
as
contayne
the
immutable
Lawe
and
Ordinances
of
God
,
in
no
Age
or
time
to
bee
altered
,
nor
of
any
persons
of
any
Nations
,
or
Age
whatsoeuer
to
bee
disobeyed
,
&c.
Whatsoeuer
is
found
in
the
Commandement
,
appertayning
to
the
Law
of
nature
,
as
a
thing
most
godly
,
most
iust
,
and
needfull
for
the
setting
forth
of
Gods
glory
,
it
ought
to
bee
retayned
and
kept
of
all
good
Christian
people
.
IN
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
concerning
the
place
and
time
of
Prayer
,
it
is
sayd
:
The
Tabernacle
consisted
of
three
partes
:
the
Court
,
the
Holy
,
and
the
most
Holy
.
The
Leuites
did
seruice
in
and
about
the
Court
:
The
Priests
did
seruice
in
the
Holy
:
And
the
high
Priest
alone
once
euery
yeare
did
seruice
in
the
most
Holy
.
The
house
of
the
Lord
which
built
,
consisted
likewise
of
three
parts
:
The
Porch
,
answering
to
the
Court
of
the
Tabernacle
:
The
Temple
,
answering
to
the
holy
Place
:
and
the
Oracle
,
answering
vnto
the
most
holy
Place
.
Concerning
the
signification
of
the
Temple
,
it
is
deliuered
in
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
of
the
right
vse
of
the
Church
,
and
also
in
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
concerning
the
place
and
time
of
Prayer
.
saith
Saint
In
the
third
part
of
the
Homily
against
the
perill
of
Idolatry
,
there
is
cited
a
memorable
Sentence
of
Saint
Reade
there
also
his
interpretation
of
the
goodly
ornaments
of
the
Temple
built
by
which
Exposition
is
very
remarkable
To
Conclude
this
point
:
Although
God
would
haue
our
inward
man
to
bee
a
Tabernacle
or
Temple
for
the
dwelling
of
his
holy
Spirit
:
Yet
all
this
notwithstanding
(
as
it
is
sayd
in
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
concerning
the
right
vse
of
the

That
by

prouidence

IN
the
Preface
to
be
Read
vpon
day
,
it
is
sayd
And
in
the
Homily
of
the
Nativity
it
is
deliuered
:
Therefore
sayth
the
Church
in
the
conclusion
of
the
sayd
(
sayth
the
Scripture
,
(
sayth
God
Iesus
Christ
sayth
God
so
loued
the
world
,
that
hee
gaue
his
only
begotten
sonne
:
that
whosoeuer
beleeueth
in
him
should
not
perish
,
but
haue
euerlasting
life
.
For
God
sent
not
his
Sonne
into
the
world
to
condemne
the
world
;
but
that
the
world
through
him
might
be
saued
.
It
is
written
in
the
Booke
of
is
our
God
,
and
there
shall
none
other
bee
accounted
of
in
comparison
of
him
.
Hee
hath
found
out
all
the
way
of
knowledge
,
and
hath
giuen
it
vnto
his
seruant
,
and
to
his
beloued
.
Afterward
did
hee
shew
himselfe
vpon
earth
,
and
conuersed
with
men
.
That
we
may
the
better
conceiue
the
great
mercy
and
goodnesse
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
in
suffering
death
vniuersally
for
all
men
,
it
behooueth
vs
to
descend
into
the
bottome
of
our
conscience
,
and
deeply
to
consider
the
first
and
principall
causes
,
wherefore
hee
was
compelled
so
to
doe
.
When
our
great
Grand-father
had
broken
Gods
commaundement
,
in
eating
the
apple
forbidden
him
in
Paradise
,
at
the
motion
and
suggestion
of
his
wife
,
he
purchased
thereby
not
onely
to
himselfe
,
but
also
to
his
posterity
for
euer
,
the
iust
wrath
and
indignation
of
God
,
&c.
He
became
mortall
,
he
lost
the
fauour
of
God
,
He
was
cast
out
of
Paradise
,
he
was
no
longer
a
Citizen
of
Heauen
:
but
a
fire-brand
of
Hell
,
and
a
bond-slaue
to
the
Diuell
.
To
this
doth
our
Sauiour
beare
witnesse
in
the
Gospell
,
calling
vs
lost
sheepe
,
which
haue
gone
astray
,
and
wandered
from
the
true
Shepheard
of
our
soules
.
To
this
also
doth
Saint
beare
witnesse
,
saying
That
by
the
offence
of
only
death
came
vpon
all
men
vnto
condemnation
.
When
the
fulnesse
of
time
was
come
,
that
is
,
the
perfection
and
course
of
yeares
,
appointed
from
the
beginning
,
then
God
according
to
his
former
couenant
and
promise
,
sent
a
Messias
,
otherwise
called
a
Mediatour
,
into
the
world
;
not
such
a
one
as
was
,
not
such
a
one
as
was
:
but
such
a
one
as
should
deliuer
mankind
from
the
bitter
curse
of
the
Law
,
and
make
perfect
satisfaction
by
his
death
,
for
the
sinnes
of
all
people
;
namely
he
sent
his
deere
and
onely
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
borne
(
as
the
Apostle
saith
)
of
a
woman
,
and
made
vnder
the
law
,
that
he
might
redeeme
them
that
were
in
bondage
of
the
law
,
and
make
them
the
children
of
God
by
adoption
.
So
great
surely
is
the
matter
of
this
Article
,
and
of
so
great
waight
and
importance
,
that
it
was
thought
worthy
to
keepe
our
Sauior
still
on
earth
forty
dayes
after
he
was
risen
from
death
to
life
,
to
the
confirmation
and
establishment
thereof
in
the
hearts
of
his
Disciples
.
It
had
not
beene
enough
to
be
deliuered
by
his
death
from
sinne
,
except
by
his
Resurrection
wee
had
bene
endowed
with
righteousnesse
.
And
it
should
not
auaile
vs
to
be
deliuered
from
death
,
except
he
had
risen
againe
,
to
open
for
vs
the
gates
of
Heauen
,
to
enter
into
life
euerlasting
.
He
died
to
destroy
the
rule
of
the
Diuell
in
vs
,
and
he
rose
againe
,
to
send
downe
his
holy
Spirit
to
rule
in
our
hearts
,
to
endow
vs
with
perfect
righteousnesse
.
Christ
is
risen
againe
,
the
first
fruites
of
them
that
sleepe
.
For
seeing
that
by
man
came
death
,
Chiefly
are
we
bound
to
praise
thee
,
for
the
glorious
Resurrection
of
thy
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
:
for
he
is
the
very
Paschall
Lambe
which
was
offered
for
vs
,
and
hath
taken
away
the
sinne
of
the
world
,
who
by
his
death
hath
destroyed
death
,
and
by
his
rising
to
life
againe
hath
restored
to
vs
life
That
he
ascended
vp
to
his
Father
into
the
heauens
,
there
to
receiue
the
glory
of
his
most
triumphant
conquest
and
victory
.
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
,
after
his
most
glorious
Resurrection
manifestly
appeared
to
all
his
Apostles
,
and
in
their
sight
ascended
vp
into
Heauen
,
to
prepare
a
place
for
vs
,
that
where
he
is
,
thither
might
we
also
ascend
,
and
reigne
with
him
in
glory
.
HOly
Church
in
most
Diuine
manner
in
the
Sacred
Letany
,
mentioneth
together
all
the
great
things
done
and
suffered
by
Christ
for
Mankinde
;
teaching
vs
to
pray
,
that
by
all
and
euery
of
them
we
in
particular
may
be
deliuered
,
saying
:
Wherein
we
are
taught
to
consider
,
that
the
comming
of
the
Holy
Ghost
is
a
matter
pertaining
to
our
deliuerance
or
saluation
,
and
now
here
to
be
meditated
on
.
In
the
Preface
to
be
read
on
Whitsunday
,
it
is
sayd
:
It
is
sayd
in
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
for
Whitsunday
sayth
Saint
Againe
he
sayth
To
this
agreeth
the
Doctrine
of
Saint
writing
in
this
wise
(
hee
meaneth
the
Holy
Ghost
)
And
the
Doctrine
of
Saint
sayth
the
same
,
who
hath
these
wordes
:
In
the
second
part
of
the
aforesayd
Homily
,
it
is
also
sayd
:
If
any
man
hath
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
the
same
is
none
of
his
.
Hereby
then
it
is
euident
and
plaine
to
all
men
,
that
the
Holy
Ghost
was
giuen
,
not
onely
to
the
Apostles
,
but
also
to
the
whole
body
of
Christs
Congregation
,
although
not
in
like
forme
and
Maiestie
,
as
he
came
downe
at
the
Feast
of
Pentecost
.
The
Lord
hath
sayd
by
his
Prophet
The
Redeemer
shall
come
to
Sion
,
and
vnto
them
that
turne
from
transgression
in
As
for
me
,
this
is
my
couenant
with
them
,
sayth
the
Lord
,
My
Spirit
that
is
vpon
thee
,
and
my
words
,
which
I
haue
put
in
thy
mouth
,
shall
not
depart
out
of
thy
mouth
,
nor
out
of
the
mouth
of
thy
seede
,
nor
out
of
the
mouth
of
thy
seedes
seede
,
sayth
the
Lord
,
from
henceforth
and
for
euer
.
The
need
we
haue
of
Gods
holy
Spirit
,
is
signified
in
the
Collect
to
be
read
on
the
fift
Sunday
after
Easter
,
where
it
is
sayd
:
Likewise
in
the
Collect
to
bee
read
afore
the
ten
Commandements
.
The
holy
Ghost
commeth
downe
into
the
spirite
of
Gods
people
,
in
sundry
measures
and
degrees
.
It
is
in
some
measure
receiued
in
Baptisme
;
and
therefore
in
the
Seruice
for
Baptisme
it
is
prayed
,
that
the
party
to
be
baptized
may
be
baptized
with
water
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
&c.
It
is
also
receiued
in
Bishopping
or
Confirmation
.
And
therefore
in
the
seruice
thereof
it
is
prayed
:
And
in
the
act
of
Confirmation
,
when
the
Bishop
layeth
his
hand
on
the
party
to
bee
Confirmed
,
it
is
sayd
:
It
is
also
receiued
in
the
Communion
,
as
sayth
the
Homily
of
the
Resurrection
And
in
the
same
Homily
it
is
sayd
By
other
ordinances
of
God
,
the
holy
Ghost
is
more
and
more
receiued
,
as
by
Prayer
,
&c.
according
as
Christ
saith
:
Your
heauenly
Father
will
giue
the
Holy
Spirit
to
them
that
aske
him
.
And
likewise
S.
I
beleeue
in
God
the
Sonne
,
who
hath
redeemed
me
and
all
Mankind
.
Iesus
Christ
suffering
Death
vpon
the
Crosse
for
our
Redemption
,
made
there
(
by
his
owne
Oblation
of
himselfe
once
offered
)
a
full
,
perfect
,
and
sufficient
Sacrifice
,
Oblation
,
and
satisfaction
for
the
sinnes
of
the
whole
World
.
Hee
suffered
Death
vniuersally
for
all
men
.
God
gaue
Christ
to
the
whole
World
,
that
is
to
say
,
to
and
to
all
that
should
come
after
him
.
The
Death
of
Christ
is
auaileable
for
the
Redemption
of
all
the
World
.
That
not
onely
Christs
death
,
but
his
life
also
,
&c.
Whosoeuer
wilfully
forsweare
themselues
vppon
Christs
Holy
Euangely
,
they
vtterly
forsake
Gods
mercy
,
goodnesse
and
truth
,
the
merits
of
our
Sauiour
Christs
Natiuity
,
Life
,
Passion
,
Death
,
Resurrection
,
and
Ascension
;
they
refuse
the
forgiuenesse
of
sinnes
promised
to
all
penitent
sinners
,
the
ioyes
of
Heauen
,
the
company
with
Angels
and
Saints
for
euer
.
IT
is
sayd
in
the
second
part
of
the
Homily
against
adultery
And
in
the
Homily
for
good
Friday
it
is
sayd
:
So
in
the
Homily
of
the
Resurrection
it
is
sayd
:
In
the
second
Homily
of
the
Passion
it
is
sayd
:
In
the
Homily
of
the
Natiuity
it
is
sayd
:
And
to
shew
more
plainely
who
partake
of
Christs
merits
,
the
Homily
for
good
Friday
declareth
,
saying
:
And
in
the
second
part
of
the
Homily
against
contention
the
Church
sayth
:
In
the
first
Homily
of
the
Passion
most
diuinely
it
is
declared
:
Likewise
in
the
Homily
of
the
Resurrection
it
is
sayd
:
And
in
the
same
Homily
it
is
sayd
In
the
Collect
for
Palme
Sunday
it
is
signified
,
In
the
Collect
for
the
second
Sunday
after
Easter
it
is
sayd
:
In
that
most
diuine
exhortation
in
the
commination
Seruice
it
is
sayd
:
The
holy
Apostle
in
his
Epistle
to
Iesus
Christ
gaue
himselfe
for
vs
,
that
he
might
redeeme
vs
from
all
iniquity
,
and
purisie
vnto
himselfe
a
peculiar
people
,
zealous
of
good
workes
.
in
his
song
sayd
:
q
That
we
being
deliuered
out
of
the
hands
of
our
enemies
,
might
serue
him
without
feare
,
in
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
before
him
all
the
dayes
of
our
life
.
Saint
to
the
Romanes
sayth
What
the
Law
could
not
doe
,
in
that
it
was
weake
through
the
flesh
,
God
sending
his
owne
Sonne
in
the
likenesse
of
sinfull
flesh
,
and
for
sinne
condemned
sinne
in
the
flesh
:
That
the
righteousnesse
of
the
Lawe
might
bee
fulfilled
in
vs
,
who
walke
not
after
the
flesh
,
but
after
the
Spirit
.
To
the
Corinthians
he
sayth
:
Christ
died
for
all
,
that
they
which
liue
,
should
not
hencefoorth
liue
vnto
themselues
,
but
vnto
him
which
died
for
them
,
and
rose
againe
.
To
the
Thessalonians
he
sayth
God
hath
not
appointed
vs
to
wrath
,
but
to
obtaine
saluation
by
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
;
who
died
for
vs
,
that
whether
we
wake
or
sleepe
,
we
should
liue
together
with
him
.
And
Saint
Christ
his
owne
selfe
bare
our
sinnes
in
his
owne
body
on
the
tree
,
that
wee
being
dead
vnto
sinne
,
should
liue
vnto
righteousnesse
.
Againe
he
sayth
:
Christ
also
suffered
for
vs
,
leauing
vs
an
example
,
that
we
should
follow
his
steps
.
Further
he
sayth
:
Forasmuch
as
Christ
hath
suffered
for
vs
in
the
flesh
,
arme
your selues
likewise
with
the
same
minde
:
for
he
that
hath
suffered
in
the
flesh
,
hath
ceased
from
sinne
;
That
he
no
longer
should
liue
the
rest
of
his
time
in
the
flesh
,
to
the
lusts
of
men
,
but
to
the
will
of
God
.
Now
who
of
ripe
age
partake
of
Christs
merits
,
these
Scriptures
following
,
and
sundry
others
doe
declare
.
If
ye
loue
me
(
sayth
Christ
)
keepe
my
Commaundements
.
He
that
hath
my
Commaundements
and
keepeth
them
,
he
it
is
that
loueth
me
;
and
he
that
loueth
me
,
shall
be
loued
of
my
Father
,
and
I
will
loue
him
:
and
will
manifest
my selfe
vnto
him
.
If
yee
keepe
my
Commaundements
,
yee
shall
abide
in
my
loue
,
euen
as
I
haue
kept
my
Fathers
commandements
,
and
abide
in
his
loue
.
And
,
yee
are
my
friends
,
if
yee
doe
whatsoeuer
I
commaund
you
.
Againe
,
If
ye
continue
in
my
word
,
then
are
yee
my
Disciples
indeed
:
and
ye
shall
know
the
truth
,
and
the
truth
shall
make
you
free
.
And
to
the
Hebrewes
the
Apostle
sayth
:
We
are
made
partakers
of
Christ
,
If
we
hold
the
beginning
of
our
confidence
stedfast
vnto
the
end
.
To
the
Romanes
he
sayth
If
we
haue
bene
planted
together
in
the
likenesse
of
his
death
:
we
shall
be
also
in
the
likenesse
of
his
resurrection
.
If
we
be
dead
with
Christ
,
we
beleeue
that
we
shall
also
liue
with
him
.
Againe
,
If
the
Spirit
of
him
that
raysed
vp
Iesus
from
the
dead
,
dwell
in
you
,
he
that
raised
vp
Christ
from
the
dead
,
shall
also
quicken
your
mortall
bodies
,
by
the
Spirit
that
dwelleth
in
you
.
If
ye
liue
after
the
flesh
,
ye
shall
dye
:
but
if
ye
through
the
Spirit
do
mortifie
the
deeds
of
the
body
,
ye
shall
liue
.
For
as
many
as
are
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
they
are
the
sonnes
of
God
.
And
if
children
,
then
heires
,
heires
of
God
,
and
ioynt
heires
with
Christ
:
If
so
be
that
we
suffer
with
him
,
that
we
may
be
also
glorified
together
.
In
like
manner
sayth
the
Apostle
to
It
is
a
faithfull
saying
:
for
if
we
be
dead
with
him
,
we
shall
also
liue
with
him
.
If
we
suffer
,
we
shall
also
reigne
with
him
:
If
we
deny
him
,
he
also
will
deny
vs
.
Saint
If
we
walke
in
the
light
,
as
he
is
in
the
light
,
we
haue
fellowship
one
with
another
,
and
the
bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
his
Sonne
cleanseth
vs
from
all
sinne
.
To
the
Hebrewes
the
Apostle
sayth
:
Christ
is
the
Author
of
eternall
saluation
vnto
all
them
that
obey
him
.
And
hereto
may
be
added
that
saying
of
And
thou
my
sonne
,
know
thou
the
God
of
thy
father
,
and
serue
him
with
a
perfect
heart
,
and
with
a
willing
minde
:
For
the
Lord
searcheth
all
hearts
,
and
vnderstandeth
all
the
imaginations
of
the
thoughts
:
if
thou
seeke
him
,
he
will
be
found
of
thee
:
but
if
thou
forsake
him
,
he
will
cast
thee
off
for
euer
.
As
concerning
infants
,
that
they
partake
of
the
efficacie
of
Christs
passion
and
oblation
:
The
Church
in
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
of
saluation
thus
deliuereth
And
now
this
point
be
concluded
with
the
words
of
the
Church
in
the
second
Homily
of
the
passion
Christ
sitting
in
heauen
,
hath
an
euerlasting
Priesthood
,
and
alwayes
praieth
vnto
his
Father
for
them
that
be
penitent
,
obtaining
by
vertue
of
his
wounds
,
which
are
euermore
in
the
sight
of
God
;
not
onely
perfect
remission
of
our
sinnes
,
but
also
all
other
necessaries
which
we
lacke
in
this
world
.
The
godly
do
learne
,
that
when
the
Scriptures
say
,
that
by
good
and
mercifull
workes
we
are
reconciled
to
Gods
fauour
;
we
are
taught
then
to
know
what
Christ
by
his
intercession
and
mediation
obtaineth
for
vs
of
his
Father
,
when
we
be
obedient
to
his
will
:
Yea
they
learne
in
such
manner
of
speaking
a
comfortable
argument
of
Gods
singular
fauour
and
loue
,
who
attributeth
that
vnto
vs
and
to
our
doings
,
which
he
by
his
Spirit
worketh
in
vs
,
and
through
his
grace
procureth
for
vs
.
Christ
sitteth
on
the
right
hand
of
God
his
Father
,
as
our
Proctour
and
Atturney
,
pleading
and
suing
for
vs
in
all
our
needs
and
necessities
.
Wherefore
if
we
want
any
gift
of
godly
wisedome
,
we
may
aske
it
of
God
,
for
Christs
his
sake
,
and
we
shall
haue
it
.
By
Iesus
Christ
our
heauenly
Mediatour
do
we
know
the
fauour
and
mercy
of
God
the
Father
,
by
him
know
we
his
will
and
pleasure
towards
vs
.
For
he
is
the
brightnes
of
his
Fathers
glory
,
and
a
very
cleare
image
and
patterne
of
his
substance
.
It
is
hee
whom
the
Father
in
heauen
delighteth
to
haue
for
his
well
beloued
Sonne
,
whom
he
authorized
to
be
our
teacher
,
whom
he
charged
vs
to
heare
,
saying
,
Heare
him
.
Moses
He
sheweth
to
all
men
,
that
be
in
errour
,
the
light
of
the
truth
,
to
the
intent
they
may
returne
into
the
way
of
righteousnesse
:
To
Iesus
Christ
our
Sauiour
and
Mediatour
,
hath
God
the
Father
giuen
the
power
of
heauen
and
earth
,
and
the
whole
iurisdiction
and
authority
,
to
distribute
his
goods
and
gifts
committed
vnto
him
.
To
euery
one
of
vs
is
grace
giuen
,
according
to
the
measure
of
Christs
giuing
.
And
thereupon
to
execute
his
authority
committed
,
after
that
he
had
brought
sinne
and
the
diuell
to
captiuity
;
to
be
no
more
hurtfull
to
his
members
,
he
ascended
vp
to
his
Father
againe
,
and
from
thence
sent
liberall
gifts
to
his
well
beloued
seruants
;
and
hath
still
the
power
to
the
worlds
end
,
for
to
distribute
his
Fathers
gifts
continually
in
his
Church
,
to
the
establishment
and
comfort
thereof
.
Whereas
God
hath
shewed
to
all
them
that
truly
beleeue
his
Gospel
,
his
face
of
mercy
in
Iesus
Christ
,
which
doth
so
lighten
their
hearts
,
that
they
(
if
they
behold
it
as
they
ought
to
doe
)
be
transformed
to
his
image
,
be
made
partakers
of
the
heauenly
light
,
and
of
his
Holy
Spirit
,
and
be
fashioned
to
him
in
all
goodnesse
requisite
to
the
children
of
God
:
So
if
they
after
doe
neglect
the
same
,
if
they
be
vnthankefull
vnto
him
,
if
they
order
not
their
liues
according
to
his
example
and
doctrine
,
and
to
the
setting
forth
of
his
glory
,
he
will
take
away
from
them
his
Kingdome
,
his
Holy
Word
,
whereby
he
should
reigne
in
them
,
because
they
bring
not
forth
the
fruite
thereof
,
that
he
looketh
for
.
God
the
Father
of
all
mercy
wrought
the
high
benefit
vnto
vs
of
reconciliation
,
not
by
his
owne
person
;
but
by
a
meane
,
by
no
lesse
meane
than
his
onely
beloued
Sonne
,
whom
he
spared
not
from
any
paine
and
trauaile
,
that
might
doe
vs
good
.
That
as
by
him
(
being
the
euerlasting
Wisedome
)
he
wrought
all
the
world
,
and
that
is
contained
therein
,
so
by
him
onely
and
wholy
would
he
haue
all
things
restored
againe
in
heauen
and
in
earth
.
Whereas
we
must
needes
vse
the
helpe
of
some
mediatour
and
intercessour
,
let
vs
content
our selues
with
him
,
that
is
the
true
and
only
Mediatour
of
the
new
Testament
,
namely
the
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
.
If
any
man
sinne
,
we
haue
an
Aduocate
with
the
Father
,
Iesus
Christ
the
righteous
,
who
is
the
propitiation
for
our
sinnes
.
There
is
one
God
,
and
one
Mediatour
betweene
God
and
man
,
euen
the
man
Iesus
Christ
,
who
gaue
himselfe
a
ransome
for
all
men
,
to
be
a
testimony
in
due
time
.
Therefore
the
Church
concludeth
euen
euerie
of
her
prayers
with
these
or
the
like
wordes
,
Through
Iesus
Christ
,
for
the
honor
of
our
Aduocate
and
Mediatour
Iesus
Christ
,
Through
the
merits
of
thy
onely
Sonne
,
&c.
Let
vs
therefore
consider
,
first
the
glory
of
Christ
,
then
our
estate
,
our
dignity
,
and
freedome
wherein
God
hath
set
vs
,
by
giuing
vs
his
Holy
Spirit
,
and
let
vs
valiantly
defend
the
same
against
Sathan
,
and
all
his
crafty
assaults
,
that
Christ
may
bee
honoured
,
and
that
we
loose
not
our
liberty
or
freedome
,
but
still
remaine
in
one
Spirit
with
him

(
saith
Christ
Iesus
Christ
himselfe
hath
also
said
:
The
Father
iudgeth
no
man
,
but
hath
committed
all
iudgement
vnto
the
Sonne
,
that
all
men
should
honour
the
Sonne
,
euen
as
they
honour
the
Father
.
And
hee
hath
giuen
him
authority
to
execute
iudgement
,
because
he
is
the
Sonne
of
man
.
Saint
God
hath
commanded
vs
to
preach
vnto
the
people
,
and
to
testifie
,
that
it
is
he
which
was
ordained
of
God
,
to
be
the
iudge
of
quicke
and
dead
.
Saint
saith
to
the
Wee
shall
all
stand
before
the
iudgement
seat
of
Christ
.
For
it
is
written
,
As
I
liue
(
saith
the
Lord
)
euery
knee
shall
bow
to
me
,
and
euery
tongue
shall
confesse
vnto
God
.
So
then
euery
one
of
vs
shall
giue
account
of
himselfe
to
God
.
And
to
the
Saints
of
he
said
Wee
must
all
appeare
before
the
iudgement
seat
of
Christ
,
that
euery
one
may
receiue
the
things
done
in
his
body
,
according
to
that
he
hath
done
,
whether
it
be
good
or
bad
.
Knowing
therefore
the
terrour
of
the
Lord
,
wee
perswade
men
.
And
vnto
I
charge
thee
before
God
,
and
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
who
shall
iudge
the
quicke
and
the
dead
at
his
appearing
and
his
kingdome
,
&c.
Himselfe
hath
also
said
:
The
Sonne
of

shall
come
in
the
glory
of

Father
,
with

Angels
,
and
then
shall

Againe

When
the
Sonne

shall
come

all

Angels
with
him
,
then
shall
hee
sit
vpon
the
throne
of
his
glory
.
And
before
him
shall
be
gathered
all
Nations
,
and
he
shall
separate
them
one
from
another
,
as
a
Shepheard
diuideth
the
Sheepe
from

Goates
,
and
he
shall
set
the
Sheepe
on

&c.
And
these
shall
goe
away

Saint
saith
to
the
The
Lord
Iesus
shall
be
reuealed
from
heauen
,
with
his
mighty
Angels
,
in
flaming
fire
taking
vengeance
on
them
that
know
not
God
,
and
that
obey
not
the
Gospell
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
who
shall
be
punished
with
euerlasting
destruction
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
from
the
glory
of
his
power
.
Wherefore
sayth
Saint
If
yee
call
on
the
Father
,
who
without
respect
of
persons
iudgeth
according
to
euery
mans
worke
,
passe
the
time
of
your
soiourning
here
with
feare
.
And
sayth
the
Apostle
to
the
Hebrewes
:
wherefore
we
receiuing
a
kingdome
,
which
cannot
bee
moued
,
let
vs
haue
grace
,
whereby
we
may
serue
God
acceptably
with
reuerence
and
godly
feare
.
For
our
God
is
a
consuming
fire
.
The
which
Apostle
also
sayd
:
The
Lord
shall
iudge
his
people
.
And
it
is
a
fearefull
thing
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
liuing
God
.
to
beleeue
and
confesse
one
Catholicke
and
Apostolike
Church
.
The
true
Church
is
an
vniuersall
congregation
or
fellowship
of
Gods
faithfull
and
elect
people
,
built
vpon
the
foundation
of
the
Apostles
and
Prophets
,
Iesus
Christ
himselfe
being
the
head
corner
stone
.
And
it
hath
alwayes
three
notes
or
markes
whereby
it
is
knowne
.
Pure
and
sound
doctrine
,
The
Sacraments
ministred
according
to
Christs
holy
institution
,
and
the
right
vse
of
Ecclesiasticall
discipline
.
This
description
of
the
Church
is
agreeable
both
to
the
Scriptures
of
God
,
and
also
to
the
doctrine
of
the
ancient
Fathers
,
so
that
none
may
iustly
finde
fault
therewith
.
That
Christ
being
ascended
into
heauen
,
powred
downe
his
gifts
abundantly
vpon
men
,
making
some
Apostles
,
some
Prophets
,
some
Euangelists
,
some
Pastors
and
Doctors
,
to
the
edifying
and
making
perfect
his
congregation
.
By
whose
labour
and
Ministerie
,
he
gathered
together
a
great
flocke
in
all
parts
of
the
world
,
to
set
forth
the
eternall
praise
of
his
holy
Name
.
So
that
as
●ell
by
these
thy
Ministers
,
as
by
them
to
whom
they
shall
be
appointed
Ministers
,
thy
holy
Name
may
be
alwayes
glorified
,
and
thy
blessed
kingdome
enlarged
.
Euery
high
Priest
taken
from
among
men
,
is
ordained
for
men
in
things
pertaining
to
God
,
that
he
may
offer
both
gifts
and
sacrifices
for
sinnes
;
who
can
haue
compassion
on
the
ignorant
,
and
on
them
that
are
out
of
the
way
,
for
that
he
himselfe
also
is
compassed
with
infirmity
:
And
by
reason
hereof
he
ought
as
for
the
people
,
so
also
for
himselfe
,
to
offer
for
sinnes
.
And
no
man
taketh
this
honour
vnto
himselfe
,
but
he
that
is
called
of
God
,
as
was
Aaron
.

Wherefore

the
end
of

towards
the
childen
of

towards
the

For

vnto

,
for
his

and
innumerable
benefits
,
and
the
due

of
the
Sacraments

did
in
their
time
prescribe
publike
orders
of
publike
administration
,
which
they
call
Liturgies
;
and
in
them
they
appointed
the
people
to
answere
vnto
the
prayer
of
the
Minister
,
sometime
,
Amen
;
sometime
,
Lord
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
,
sometime
,
And
with
thy
Spirit
,
and
We
haue
our
hearts
lifted
vp
vnto
the
Lord
,
&c.
By
the
histories
of
the
Bible
it
appeareth
,
that
publike
and
common
Prayer
is
most
auaileable
before
God
,
and
therefore
is
much
to
be
lamented
,
that
it
is
no
better
esteemed
among
vs
,
which
professe
to
be
but
one
body
in
Christ
.
That
the
first
original
and
ground
of
the
diuine
Seruice
,
of
a
man
would
search
out
by
the
ancient
Fathers
,
he
shall
finde
that
the
same
was
not
ordained
,
but
of
a
good
purpose
,
and
for
a
great
aduancement
of
godlinesse
,
&c.
Of
such
Ceremonies
as
bee
used
in
the
Church
,
and
have
had
their
beginning
by
the
institution
of
man
;
some
at
the
first
were
of
Godly
intent
and
purpose
devised
,
&c.
Other
there
bee
,
which
although
they
have
beene
devised
by
man
,
yet
it
is
thought
good
to
reserve
them
still
,
as
wel
for
a
decent
order
in
the
Church
,
(
for
the
which
they
were
first
devised
)
as
because
they
appertaine
unto
edification
,
whereunto
all
things
done
in
the
Church
(
as
the
Apostle
teacheth
)
ought
to
bee
referred
.
And
although
the
keeping
,
or
omitting
of
a
Ceremonie
in
it selfe
considered
,
is
but
a
small
thing
:
Yet
the
wilfull
and
contemptuous
transgression
and
breaking
of
a
common
order
and
discipline
,
is
no
small
offence
before
God
.
Let
all
things
be
done
among
you
in
a
seemely
and
due
order
.
The
appointment
of
the
which
order
pertaineth
not
to
private
men
:
therefore
no
man
ought
to
take
in
hand
,
nor
to
presume
to
appoint
or
alter
any
publike
or
common
order
in
Christs
Church
,
except
hee
be
lawfully
called
and
authorized
thereunto
.
Christs
Religion
is
content
onely
with
those
Ceremonies
,
which
doe
serve
to
a
decent
order
,
and
Godly
discipline
;
and
such
as
bee
apt
to
stirre
up
the
dull
minde
of
man
to
the
remembrance
of
his
dutie
to
God
,
by
some
notable
&
speciall
signification
,
whereby
hee
might
be
edified
,
&c.
But
now
as
concerning
those
persons
,
which
peradventure
▪
will
bee
offended
;
for
that
some
of
the
old
Ceremonies
are
retained
still
:
If
they
consider
,
that
without
some
Ceremonies
it
is
not
possible
to
keepe
any
order
,
or
quiet
discipline
in
the
Church
,
they
shall
easily
perceive
just
cause
to
reforme
their
judgements
.
And
if
they
thinke
much
that
any
of
the
old
remaine
,
and
would
rather
have
all
devised
anew
:
then
such
men
granting
some
Ceremonies
convenient
to
bee
had
,
surely
where
the
old
may
bee
well
used
,
there
they
cannot
reasonably
reproove
the
old
,
onely
for
their
age
,
without
bewraying
their
owne
folly
.
For
in
such
a
case
,
they
ought
rather
to
have
reverence
unto
them
for
their
antiquity
,
if
they
will
declare
themselves
to
be
more
studious
of
unity
and
concord
,
than
of
innovations
and
new
fanglenesse
,
which
(
as
much
as
may
be
,
with
the
true
setting
forth
of
Christs
Religion
)
is
alwayes
to
be
eschewed
.
And
in
these
our
doings
wee
condemne
no
other
Nations
,
nor
prescribe
any
thing
,
but
to
our
owne
People
onely
.
For
wee
thinke
it
convenient
,
that
every
Country
should
use
such
Ceremonies
,
as
they
shall
thinke
best
to
the
setting
forth
of
Gods
honour
and
glory
,
and
to
the
reducing
of
the
People
to
a
most
perfect
and
Godly
living
,
without
errour
or
superstition
.
If
there
shall
happen
any
contempt
or
irreverence
to
be
used
in
the
Ceremonies
or
Rites
of
the
Church
,
by
the
misusing
of

may
be

of

,

edifying
of

19.8
IN
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
concerning
the
place
,
and
time
of
prayer
;
the
Church
saith
:
Act.
20.
1
Cor.
16.2
As
soone
as
God
had
finished
heaven
and
earth
and
all
the
same
,
and
had
made
man
,
he
rested
the
seventh
day
,
and
blessed
it
,
and
sanctified
it
for
man
therein
to
rest
also
,
as
Christ
saith
The
Sabbath
was
made
for
man
.
The
Lord
saith
by
If
thou
turne
away
thy
foot
from
the
Sabbath
,
from
doing
thy
pleasure
on
my
holy
day
,
and
call
the
Sabbath
a
delight
,
the
holy
of
the
Lord
,
honourable
,
and
shalt
honour
him
,
not
doing
thine
owne
wayes
,
nor
finding
thine
owne
pleasure
,
nor
speaking
thine
owne
words
:
Then
shalt
thou
delight
thy selfe
in
the
Lord
,
and
I
will
cause
thee
to
ride
upon
the
high
places
of
the
earth
,
and
feed
thee
with
the
heritage
of
thy
father
;
for
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
hath
spoken
it
.
The
sacred
constitution
of
the
Church
concerning
the
due
celebration
of
Sundayes
and
Holy-dayes
is
ever
memorable
,
Concerning
other
times
enjoyned
by
the
Church
to
be
observed
for
holydayes
,
it
is
to
be
remembred
,
that
because
it
is
the
Law
of
the
Church
our
mother
,
we
ought
so
to
observe
them
as
she
requireth
.
And
that
the
Church
hath
power
to
appoint
holydayes
,
it
may
appeare
out
of
the
Homily
of
fasting
,
where
it
is
said
:
And
the
Prophet
doth
not
disallow
their
sequestring
of
dayes
for
fasting
;
but
for
that
they
neglected
judgement
,
mercy
,
and
humilitie
of
heart
;
and
(
as
it
seemed
)
accounted
true
religion
for
to
consist
onely
or
most
chiefely
,
in
observing
Ceremonies
.
It
is
written
in
the
booke
of
that
the
Church
of
God
then
celebrated
two
dayes
in
memorie
of
the
Lords
most
wonderfull
protection
of
them
;
and
deliverance
of
them
from
the
plot
of
It
is
not
written
that
they
had
any
law
of
God
requiring
it
,
neither
that
they
received
any
speciall
revelation
for
to
signifie
unto
them
,
that
they
ought
so
to
doe
:
but
that
they
did
it
from
the
Common
wisedome
,
with
which
God
endueth
his
Church
at
all
times
.
There
is
also
mention
of
a
feast
,
in
the
Gospell
according
to
S.
called
The
feast
of
the
dedication
,
which
the
Church
of
God
then
,
the
people
of
the
had
along
time
observed
celebration
whereof
it
seemeth
that
Christ
was
present
)
which
was
not
ordained
by
divine
Law
nor
by
Revelation
:
but
by
the
common
devotion
of
the
Church
,
as
it
is
recorded
in
the
Book
of
Moreover
the
people
of
God
on
such
holy
dayes
were
not
onely
to
abstaine
from
their
ordinary
vocation
or
worke
;
but
also
they
were
to
assemble
unto
the
place
of
Gods
publike
worship
,
and
there
to
perfome
such
religious
duties
as
God
and
his
Church
had
appointed
.
The
which
may
appeare
out
of
the
booke
of
where
it
is
delivered
,
that
ordained
of
the
ministerie
to
stand
every
morning
to
to
thanke
and
praise
the
Lord
,
and
likewise
at
even
;
and
to
offer
all
burnt
sacrifices
unto
the
Lord
in
the
Sabbaths
,
in
the
new
moones
,
and
on
the
set
feasts
by
number
,
according
to
the
order
commanded
unto
them
continually
before
the
Lord
.
Now
concerning
the
place
where
holy
duties
upon
Sundaies
,
and
other
Holy
dayes
are
to
bee
performed
,
the
first
part
of
the
homily
concerning
the
place
and
time
of
prayer
,
(
saith
that
Homily
The
Lord
hath
said
Abide
yee
every
man
in
his
place
:
Let
no
man
goe
out
of
his
place
on
the
seventh
(
or
Sabbath
)
day
.
Yet
there
was
prescribed
a
Sabbath
dayes
journey
,
and
that
appeareth
to
be
but
as
unto
ones
owne
parish
Church
ordinarily
.
The
aforesaid
A
Chaldee
Paraphrase
upon
saith
(
and
the
Chaldean
Paraphrases
are
the
most
ancient
interpretations
of
and
the
which
are
now
common
to
the
Church
of
God
)
That
we
are
commanded
to
observe
the
Sabbath
,
&
good
dayes
,
&
not
to
walke
,
unlesse
2000
cubits
:
which
distance
appeareth
to
bee
the
space
between
the
place
of
the
Camp
,
and
the
place
where
the
Arke
was
:
as
There
shal
be
a
space
between
you
&
it
,
above
2000
cubits
by
measure
.
And
such
a
distance
the
suburbs
belonging
to
Cities
,
were
to
be
from
them
round
about
;
as
it
is
written
in
the
booke
of
Lastly
,
concerning
the
due
celebration
of
the
Sabbath
day
,
it
is
also
said
in
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
concerning
the
right
use
of
the
Church
:
In
the
said
part
of
that
Homily
it
is
further
delivered
The
Lord
commanded
the
people
of
offer
more
on
the
Sabbath
day
,
then
on
any
other
day
.
And
was
it
not
for
our
instruction
in
righteousnesse
,
that
wee
ought
on
that
day
to
spend
more
time
in
every
religious
exercise
,
than
on
any
other
day
commonly
?
The
Law
of
the
Church
is
,
that
Also
,
all
persons
of
every
Family
,
that
are
able
in
any
wise
to
understand
any
part
of
the
publike
worship
(
unles
such
as
absolute
necessitie
requireth
to
stay
at
home
)
ought
duly
to
resort
unto
the
was
to
preach
unto
it
appeareth
that
brought
his
whole
houshold
with
him
,
as
he
said
:
Now
are
wee
all
here
present
before
God
,
to
heare
all
things
that
are
commanded
thee
of
God
.
And
in
the
Psalme
or
Song
for
the
Sabbath
day
,
it
is
expressed
at
what
time
in
the
morning
of
the
Sabbath
wee
should
begin
our
devotion
,
and
untill
what
time
it
should
continue
,
where
it
is
said
It
is
a
good
thing
to
give
thankes
unto
the
Lord
,
and
to
sing
praises
unto
thy
name
,
Omost
Highest
.
To
tell
of
thy
loving
kindnesse
early
in
the
morning
:
and
of
thy
truth
in
the
night
season
.
IN
the
Exhortation
before
the
generall
Confession
,
it
is
said
:
How
greatly
God
requireth
publike
prayer
,
it
may
appeare
from
that
hee
would
have
his
house
called
an
house
of
prayer
for
all
people
.
Thither
it
is
said
went
up
together
at
the
houre
of
prayer
,
being
the
ninth
houre
.
And
S.
praying
in
the
Temple
at
Ierusalem
was
rapt
in
the
spirit
,
and
did
see
Iesus
speaking
unto
him
.
And
publike
prayer
made
for
being
in
prison
,
so
farre
prevailed
with
God
,
that
he
was
miraculously
thence
delivered
.
Christ
Iesus
said
unto
his
Disciples
It
two
of
you
shall
agree
on
earth
as
touching
any
thing
that
they
shall
aske
,
it
shall
be
done
for
them
of
my
Father
,
which
is
in
heaven
.
For
where
two
or
three
are
gathered
together
in
my
name
,
there
am
I
in
the
midst
of
them
.
Concerning
prayer
it
is
said
in
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
of
prayer
In
the
Homily
of
Common
prayer
and
Sacraments
it
is
said
:
And
of
it
mention
was
first
of
all
.
The
Prophet
Evening
and
morning
and
at
noone
will
I
pray
and
cry
aloud
:
and
hee
shall
heare
my
voyce
.
It
is
written
that
also
kneeled
upon
his
knees
three
times
a
day
,
and
prayed
,
and
gave
thankes
before
God
.
also
saith
At
midnight
will
I
arise
to
give
thankes
unto
thee
,
because
of
thy
righteous
judgements
.
The
Church
saith
in
the
aforenamed
Concerning
thankesgiving
in
publike
.
The
first
part
of
the
Homily
concerning
the
right
use
of
the
Church
,
where
it
is
written
There
can
be
none
other
end
of
such
as
draw
nigh
to
God
by
knowledge
,
and
yet
depart
from
him
in
unthankfulnesse
,
but
utter
destruction
.
It
is
very
meet
,
right
,
and
our
bounden
duty
,
that
we
should
at
all
times
,
and
in
all
places
,
give
thankes
unto
thee
,
O
Lord
Holy
Father
,
Almighty
Everlasting
God
.
If
we
will
with
a
sorrowfull
and
contrite
heart
make
an
unfeined
confession
of
our
sinnes
unto
God
,
hee
will
freely
and
frankly
forgive
them
,
and
so
put
all
our
wickednesse
out
of
remembrance
before
the
sight
of
his
Majestie
,
that
they
shall
no
more
be
thought
upon
.
Hereunto
doth
pertaine
the
golden
saying
of
where
he
saith
on
this
manner
Then
I
acknowledged
my
sinne
unto
thee
,
neither
did
I
hide
mine
iniquitie
:
I
said
,
I
will
confesse
against
my selfe
my
wickednesse
unto
the
Lord
,
and
thou
forgavest
the
ungodlinesse
of
my
sinne
.
These
are
also
the
words
of
the
Evangelist
If
wee
confesse
our
sinnes
,
God
is
faithfull
and
righteous
,
to
forgive
us
our
sinnes
,
and
to
make
us
cleane
from
all
our
wickednesse
.
Which
ought
to
be
understood
of
the
confession
made
unto
God
.
This
is
then
the
chiefest
,
and
most
principall
confession
that
in
the
Scriptures
and
Word
of
God
wee
are
bidden
to
make
,
and
without
the
which
wee
shall
never
obtaine
pardon
and
forgivenesse
of

All
holy
Scripture
is
certainly
the
teacher
of
all
vertue
and
of
true
faith
:
but
the
booke
of
Psalmes
doth
expresse
,
after
a
certaine
manner
,
the
very
state
and
condition
of
the
soule
.
For
as
he
which
intendeth
to
present
himselfe
to
a
King
,
first
will
compound
with
himselfe
to
set
in
good
order
both
his
gesture
and
his
speech
,
lest
else
he
might
be
reputed
rude
and
ignorant
:
even
so
doth
this
godly
booke
informe
all
such
as
be
desirous
to
lead
their
life
in
vertue
,
and
to
know
the
life
of
our
Saviour
,
which
hee
ledd
in
his
conversation
;
putting
them
in
minde
in
the
reading
thereof
,
of
all
their
affections
and
passions
whereto
their
soule
is
inclined
,
&c.
The
ancient
fathers
for
a
great
advancement
of
godlinesse
so
ordered
the
matter
,
that
all
the
whole
Bible
(
or
the
greatest
part
thereof
)
should
be
read
over
once
every
yeare
,
intending
thereby
that
the
Clergy
,
and
especially
such
as
were
Ministers
of
the
Congregation
,
should
(
by
often
reading
and
meditation
of
Gods
Word
)
be
stirred
up
to
godlinesse
themselves
,
and
be
more
able
to
exhort
others
by
wholesome
doctrine
,
and
to
confute
them
that
were
adversaries
to
the
truth
.
And
further
that
the
people
(
by
dayly
hearing
of
holy
Scripture
read
in
the
Church
)
should
continually
profit
more
and
more
in
the
knowledge
of
God
,
and
be
the
more
inflamed
with
the
love
of
his
true
religion

Considering
how
necessary
it
is
that
the
Word
of
God
,
which
is
the
onely
food
of
the
soule
,
and
that
most
excellent
light
that
we
must
walke
by
,
in
this
our
most
dangerous
pilgrimage
,
at
all
convenient
times
be
preached
unto
the
people
,
that
thereby
they
may
both
learne
their
duty
towards
God
,
their
Prince
,
and
their
neighbours
,
according
to
the
minde
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,

in

and
also
to
avoide
the
manifold
enormities
which
heretofore
by
false
doctrine
have
crept
into

and
how
that
all
they
which

appointed
Ministers
,
have
not
the
gift
of
preaching
sufficiently
to
instruct
the
people
,
which
is
committed
unto
them

whereof
great
inconveniences

can

THE
very
first
of
all
the

Homilies
of

worthy
to

of

,
yea
,
to
be
laid
up
in
the
secret
of
our
hearts
.
In
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
,
an
information
for
them
,
which
take
offence
at
certaine
places
of
the
holy
Scripture
,
it
is
said
:
And
so
forward
it
treateth
in
a
wonderfull
Divine
manner
.
In
the
third
part
of

Homily
for

weeke
,
it
is
said
:
In
the
last
of
all
the
Homilies
,
in
the
sixt
part
thereof
,
and
in
the
last
part
of
the
same
,
the
necessitie
of
knowing
the
Scriptures
,
is
most
lively
declared
,
where
it
is
said
:
In
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
against
contention
,
it
is
said
:
And
saith
the
first
part
of

(
as
it
seemeth
by
the
last
translation
)
were
accounted
more
noble
then
those
in
Acts
17.11
for
that
they
received
the
Word
with
all
readinesse
of
minde
,
and
searched
the
Scriptures
daily
,
whether
those
things
were
so
.
The
delight
of
the
blessed
(
man
and
woman
)
is
in

of

Lord
,
and
therein
will
meditate

said
,
Hee
esteemed
the
words
of
Gods
mouth
,
more
then
his
necessary
food
.
Now
concerning
meanes
which
may
helpe
peoples
understanding
of
the
Scripture
,
it
is
most
Divinely
delivered
in
the
second
part
of
the
first
of
all
the
Homilies
,
where
it
is
said
:
In
the
second
part
of
the
Homily
,
an
information
concerning
certaine
places
of
Scripture
;
It
is
said
:
In
the
third
part
of
the
Homily
for

weeke
,
it
is
said
The
naturall
man
saith
Saint
receiveth
not
the
things
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
for
they
are
foolishnesse
unto
him
,
neither
can
he
know
them
,
because
they
are
spiritually
discerned
.
Wherefore
the
Lord
Christ
said
;
verily
,
verily
,
except
a
man
be
borne
againe
,
he
cannot
see
the
kingdome
of
God
.
The
Prophet
What
man
is
hee
that
feareth
the
Lord
?
him
will
hee
teach
the
way
that
he
shall
choose
.
His
soule
shall
dwell
at
ease
,
and
his
seed
shall
inherite
the
earth
.
The
secret
of
the
Lord
is
with
them
that
feare
him
:
and
he
will
shew
them
his
covenant
.
The
meeke
will
hee
guide
in
judgement
:
and
the
meeke
will
hee
teach
his
way
.
Saint
also
saith
:
Let
no
man
deceive
himselfe
;
If
any
man
among
you
seemeth
to
bee
wise
in
this
world
,
let
him
become
a
foole
,
that
hee
may
bee
wise
.
For
the
wisedome
of
this
world
is
foolishnes
with
God
.
We
are
to
beleeve
that
every
word
,
syllable
,
and
letter
of
the
holy
Scriptures
is
truth
,
though
the
matter
be
farre
aboue
our
comprehension
or
understanding
.
The
Lord
saith
,
Till
heaven
and
earth
passe
,
one
jot
,
or
one
title
shall
in
no
wise
passe
from
the
Law
,
till
all
be
fulfilled
.
The
Scripture
cannot
be
broken
.
Yee
shall
not
adde
unto
the
word
which
I
command
you
,
neither
shall
ye
diminish
ought
from
it
,
that
yee
may
keepe
the
commandements
of
the
Lord
your
God
,
which
I
command
you
.
Adde
not
thou
unto
his
words
,
lest
he
reproue
thee
;
and
thou
be
found
a
lier
.
Saint
saith
,
that
in
Saint
Epistles
are
some
things
hard
to
bee
understood
;
which
they
that
are
unlearned
and
unstable
doe
wrest
,
as
they
doe
also
the
other
Scriptures
unto
their
owne
destruction
.
Againe
,
the
Lord
Christ
saith
;
If
ye

continue
in
my
word
,
then
are
ye
my
disciples
indeed
.
And
ye
shall
c
know
the
truth
,
and
the
truth
shall
make
you
free
.
Againe
,
hee
said
unto
the
Iewes
:
If
any
man
will
doe
the
will
of
God
my
Father
,
he
shall
know
of
the
doctrine
whether
it
be
of
God
or
whether
I
speake
of
my selfe
.
Saint
saith
:
If
any
want
wisedome
,
let
him
aske
of
God
,
that
giveth
to
all
men
liberally
,
and
upbraideth
not
:
and
it
shall
be
giuen
him
.
Christ
saith
,
your
heauenly
Father
will
give
the
holy
Spirit
to
them
that
aske
him
,
and
which
also
obey
him
:
which
holy
Spirit
teacheth
all
things
that
pertaine
unto
life
and
godlines
,
and
leadeth
the
obedient
into
all
truth
,
unto
peace
,
and
most
memorably
saith
My
sonne
,
if
thou
wilt
receive
my
words
,
and
hide
my
Commandements
with
thee
,
so
that
thou
encline
thine
eare
unto
wisedome
,
and
apply
thine
heart
unto
understanding
.
Yea
if
thou
cryest
after
knowledge
,
and
liftest
up
thy
voice
for
understanding
:
If
thou
seekest
her
as
silver
,
and
searchest
for
her
as
for
hid
treasures
:
Then
shalt
thou
understand
the
feare
of
the
Lord
,
and
finde
the
knowledge
of
God
.
Also
that
saying
of
the
Lord
by
the
Prophet
is
ever
to
be
remembred
My
covenant
was
with
of
life
and
peace
,
and
I
gave
them
to
him
,
for
the
feare
,
wherewith
he
feared
me
,
and
was
afraid
before
my
name
.
The
law
of
truth
was
in
his
mouth
,
and
iniquity
was
not
found
in
his
lips
:
hee
walked
with
me
in
peace
and
equity
,
and
did
turne
many
away
from
iniquity
.
For
the
Priests
lips
should
keepe
knowledge
,
and
they
should
seeke
the
law
at
his
mouth
:
for
he
is
the
messenger
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
.

through

Lord
Iesus

that
of
his
bounteous
mercy

In

I
was
made
a
member
of
Christ
,
the
Child
of
God
,
and
an
inheritour
of
the
kingdome
of
heaven
.
That
he
being
borne
in
Originall
sin
,
and
in
the
wrath

God
,
is
now
by
the
Laver
of
regeneration
in

,
received
into
the
number
of
the
children
of
GOD
,
and
heires
of

.
Doubt
ye
not
therefore
,
but
earnestly
beleeve
,
that
he
that
favourably
received
this
present
infant
,
that
he
hath
embraced
him
with
the
armes
of
his
mercy
,
that
he
hath
given
him
the
blessing
of
eternall
life

in

by

all
things
necessary
for

That
baptisme
doth
represent
unto
us
our
profession
,
which
is
to
follow
the
example
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
and
to
be
made
like
unto
him
,
that
as
he
dyed
,
and
rose
againe
for
us
,
so
should
we
which
are
baptized
,
die
from
sinne
,
and
rise
againe
unto
righteousnesse
,
continually
mortifying
all
our
evill
and
corrupt
affections
,
and
dayly
proceeding
in
all
vertue
and
godlinesse
of
living
.
Why
are
infants
baptized
,
when
by
reason
of
their
tender
age
,
they
cannot
performe
repentance
and
faith
?
Yes
:
they
doe
performe
them
by
their
sureties
,
who
promise
and
vow
them
both
in
their
names
:
which
when
they
come
to
age
,
themselves
are
bound
to
performe
.
Wherefore
after
this
promise
made
by
Christ
,
these
infants
must
also
faithfully
for
their
part
promise
by
you
that
bee
their
sureties
,
that
they
will
forsake
the
Devill
and
all
his
workes
,
and
constantly
beleeve
Gods
holy
Word
,
and
obediently
keepe
his
Commandements
.
Doest
thou
in
the
name
of
this
Childe
for
sake
the
Devill
and
all
his
workes
,
the
vaine
pompe
and
glory
of
the
world
,
with
all
the
covetous
desires
of
the
same
,
the
carnall
desires
of
the
flesh
,
and
not
to
follow
and
be
led
by
them
?
And
doest
thou
in
the
name
of
this
child
professe
this
faith
,
to
beleeve
in
God
the
Father
Almighty
,
&c.
You
must
remember
that
it
is
your
part
and
duty
,
to
see
that
this
infant
be
taught
,
so
soone
as
hee
shall
be
able
to
learne
,
what
a
solemne
vow
,
promise
,
and
profession
he
hath
made
by
you
.
And
that
hee
may
know
these
things
the
better
,
ye
shall
call
upon
him
to
heare
sermons
,
and
chiefly
you
shall
provide
,
that
he
may
learne
the
Creed
,
the

,
and
the
ten

Among
some
other
very
ancient
Ceremonies
,
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
in
baptisme
hath
beene
retained
in
this
Church
by
the
judgement
and
practise
of
those
reverend
fathers
and
great
Divines
in
the
dayes
of
King
Edward
the
sixth
,
&c.
viz.
First
,
because
that
when
children
come
to
the
yeares
of
discretion
,
and
have
learned
what
their
Godfathers
and
Godmothers
promised
for
them
in
Baptisme
,
they
may
then
themselves
with
their
owne
mouth
,
and
with
their
owne
consent
,
openly
before
the
Church
,
ratisie
and
confirme
the
same
:
And
also
promise
by
the
grace
of
God
,
they
will
evermore
endeavour
themselves
faithfully
to
observe
and
keepe
such
things
,
as
they
by
their
owne
mouth
and
confession
have
assented
unto
.
Secondly
,
forasmuch
as
Confirmation
is
ministred
to
them
that
be
baptized
,
that
by
imposition
of
hands
and
prayer
,
they
may
receive
strength
and
defence
against
all
temptations
to
sinne
,
and
the
assaults
of
the
world
and
the
Devill
,
it
is
most
meet
to
bee
ministred
when
children
come
to
that
age
,
that
partly
by
the
frailty
of
their
owne
flesh
,
partly
by
the
assaults
of
the
world
and
the
Devill
,
they
begin
to
bee
in
danger
to
fall
into
sundry
kindes
of
sinne
.
Thirdly
,
for
that
it
is
agreeable
with
the
usage
of
the
Church
in
times
past
:
Whereby
it
was
ordained
that
confirmation
should
bee
ministred
to
them
that
were
of
perfect
age
,
that
they
being
instructed
in
Christs
religion
,
should
openly
professe
their
owne
faith
,
and
promise
to
bee
obedient
to
the
will
of
God
.
strengthen
them
,
wee
beseech
thee
,
O
Lord
,
with
the
holy
Ghost
the
comforter
,
and
daily
increase
in
them
thy
manifold
gifts
of
grace
,
the
spirit
of
wisedom
and
understanding
,
the
spirit
of
Counsell
and
ghostly
strength
,
the
spirit
of
knowledge
and
true
godlinesse
,
and
fulsill
them
(
O
Lord
)
with
the
spirit
of
thy
holy
feare
.
Defend
,
O
Lord
,
this
child
with
thy
heauenly
grace
,
that
hee
may
continue
thine
for
ever
,
and
daily
increase
in
thy
holy
spirit
more
and
more
,
untill
hee
come
unto
thine
everlasting
kingdome
.
Wee
make
our
humble
supplications
unto
thee
for
these
children
,
upon
whom
(
after
the
example
of
the
holy
Apostles
)
wee
have
laid
our
hands
,
to
certifie
them
(
by
this
signe
)
of
thy
favour
and
gratious
goodnesse
toward
them
:
Let
thy
fatherly
hand
,
we
beseech
thee
,
ever
bee
over
them
:
Let
thy
holy
spirit
ever
bee
with
them
,
and
so
lead
them
in
the
knowledge
and
obedience
of
thy
word
,
that
in
the
end
they
may
obtaine
the
everlasting
life
throughour
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
every
Child
shall
bee
brought
to
the
Bishop
,
by
one
that
shall
be
his
Godfather
or
Godmother
,
that
every
child
may
have
a
witnesse
of
his
Confirmation
.
that
it
is
to
bee
performed
once
in
three
yeares
:
that
ministers
are
to
prepare
Children
for
Confirmation
.
Forasmuch
as
it
hath
beene
a
solemne
,
ancient
,
and
laudable
custom
in
the
Church
of
God
,
continued
from
the
Apostles
times
,
that
all
Bishops
should
lay
their
hands
,
upon
children
baptized
and
instructed
in
the
Catechisme
of
Christian
Religion
,
praying
over
them
,
and
blessing
them
,
which
wee
commonly
call
Confirmation
,
and
that
this
holy
action
hath
beene
accustomed
in
the
Church
in
the
former
ages
,
to
be
performed
in
the
Bishops
visitation
every
third
yeere
,
&c.
That
it
was
ordained
for
the
continuall
remembrance
of
the
sacrifice
of
the
death
of
Christ
,
and
the
benefits
which
we
receive
therby
.
The
outward
part
or
signe
of
the
Lords
supper
is
bread
and
wine
,
which
the
Lord
hath
commanded
to
bee
received
.
The
inward
part
or
thing
signified
,
is
the
body
and
blood
of
Christ
,
which
are
verily
and
indeed
taken
and
received
of
the
faithfull
in
the
Lords
Supper
.
The
benefits
whereof
we
are
partakers
thereby
,
is
the
strengthening
and
refreshing
of
our
soules
by
the
body
and
blood
of
Christ
,
as
our
bodies
are
by
the
bread
and
wine
.
Our
heavenly
Father
hath
given
his
Sonne
our
Saviour
Iesus
Christ
,
not
only
to
dye
for
us
,
but
also
to
be
our
spirituall
food
and
sustenance
The
benefit
is
great
,
if
with
a
true
penitent
heart
,
and
lively
faith
we
receive
that
holy
Sacrament
:
for
then
wee
spiritually
eate
the
flesh
of
Christ
,
and
drinke
his
blood
,
then
we
dwell
in
Christ
and
Christ
in
us
,
we
bee
one
with
Christ
,
and
Christ
with
us
.
Above
all
things
,
ye
must
give
most
humble
and
hearty
thankes
to
God
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
,
for
the
redemption
of
the
world
,
by
the
death
and
passion
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
both
God
and
man
,
who
did
humble
himselfe
even
to
the
death
upon
the
Crosse
,
for
us
miserable
sinners
,
which
lay
in
darkenesse
and
shadow
of
death
,
that
hee
might
make
us
the
children
of
God
,
and
exalt
us
to
everlasting
life
.
And
to
the
end
that
we
should
alway
remember
the
exceeding
great
love
of
our
Master
and
onely
Saviour
Iesus
Christ
,
thus
dying
for
us
,
and
the
innumerable
benefits
,
which
by
his
precious
blood-shedding
hee
hath
obtained
to
us
:
hee
hath
instituted
and
ordained
holy
mysteries
,
as
pledges
of
his
love
,
and
continuall
remembrance
of
his
death
,
to
our
great
and
endlesse
comfort
.
Almighty
God
,
our
heavenly
Father
,
which
of
thy
tender
mercy
didst
give
thy
onely
Son
Iesus
Christ
to
suffer
death
vpon
the
Crosse
for
our
redemption
,
who
made
there
(
by
his
one
oblation
of
himselfe
once
offered
)
a
full
,
perfect
,
and
sufficient
sacrifice
,
oblation
,
and
satisfaction
for
the
sinnes
of
the
whole
world
,
and
did
institute
,
and
in
his
holy
Gospell
command
us
to
continue
a
perpetuall
memory
of
that
his
precious
death
,
untill
his
comming
againe
,
&c.
Thou
dost
assure
us
thereby
of
thy
favour
and
goodnesse
towards
us
,
and
that
wee
bee
very
members
incorporate
in
thy
mysticall
body
,
which
is
the
blessed
company
of
all
faithfull
people
,
and
be
also
heires
through
hope
,
of
thy
everlasting
Kingdome
,
by
the
merits
of
the
most
precious
death
and
passion
of
thy
deare
Sonne
.

Saint
recordeth
,
that
as
Iesus
and
his
Disciples
were
eating
the
Passeover
,
Iesus
tooke
bread
and
blessed
it
,
and
brake
it
,
&
gave
it
to
the
disciples
,
and
said
,
Take
,
eate
;
this
is
my
body
.
And
he
tooke
the
cup
,
and
gave
thankes
,
and
gave
it
to
them
saying
,
Drinke
ye
all
of
it
:
for
this
is
my
blood
of
the
new
testament
,
which
is
shed
for
many
for
the
remission
of
sins
.
Saint
writeth
that
Iesus
afore
had
said
unto
the
Iewes
Verily
,
verily
,
I
say
unto
you
,
Except
ye
eate
the
flesh
of
the
son
of
man
,
and
drink
his
blood
,
ye
have
no
life
in
you
.
Who
so
eateth
my
flesh
,
and
drinketh
my
blood
,
hath
eternall
life
,
and
I
will
raise
him
up
at
the
last
day
.
For
my
flesh
is
meat
indeed
,
and
my
blood
is
drink
indeed
.
He
that
eateth
my
flesh
,
and
drinketh
my
blood
,
dwelleth
in
mee
,
and
I
in
him
.
It
is
the
spirit
that
quickneth
,
the
flesh
profiteth
nothing
:
the
words
that
I
speake
unto
you
,
they
are
spirit
,
and
they
are
life
.
It
is
written
in
the

doctrine
and
fellowship
,
and
in
breaking
of
bread
,
and
in
prayers
.
Saint
saith
to
the
Corinthians
The
cup
of
blessing
which
we
blesse
,
is
it
not
the
Communion
of
the
blood
of
Christ
?
The
bread
which
we
break
,
is
it
not
the
Communion
of
the
body
of
Christ
?
For
we
being
many
are
one
bread
and
one
body
:
for
we
are
all
partakers
of
one
bread
.
Also
he
saith
:
We
have
all
been
made
to
drinke
into
one
spirit
.
And
further
he
delivereth
:
As
often
as
ye
eate
this
bread
,
and
drinke
this
cup
,
ye
doe
shew
the
Lords
death
till
he
come
.
IT
is
said
in
the
third
Exhortation
to
be
read
afore
the
Communion
Therefore
it
is
to
be
said
unto
them
that
come
to
receive
the
holy
Communion
,
in
the
last
words
of
exhortation
,
afore
the
generall
Confession
be
made
:
In
the
Catechisme
it
is
said
:
In
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
concerning
the
Sacrament
,
it
is
said
:
In
the
second
part
of
the
Homily
concerning
the
Sacrament
,
it
is
said
:
It
is
afterward
delivered
most
divinely
also
And
so
along
unto
the
end
of
the
Homily
,
the
preparation
required
unto
the
receiving
of
the
Communion
,
is
declared
in
most
Heavenly
manner
.
Read
the
whole
second
Exhortation
,
which
is
appointed
to
bee
read
afore
the
Communion
,
and
therein
the
preparation
is
most
plainly
expressed
also
.
Read
also
the
Thanksgiving
,
which
is
appointed
to
bee
sung
after
receiving
the
Lords
Supper
,
set
after
the
Psalmes
in
meeter
,
and
therein
the
preparing
is
withall
signified
.
Saint
saith
:
Whosoever
shall
eate
this
bread
,
and
drinke
this
cup
of
the
Lord
unworthily
,
shall
bee
guilty
of
the
body
and
blood
of
the
Lord
.
But
let
a
man
examine
himselfe
,
and
so
let
him
eate
of
that
bread
,
and
drinke
of
that
Cup.
For
hee
that
eateth
and
drinketh
unworthily
,
eateth
and
drinketh
damnation
to
himselfe
,
not
discerning
the
Lords
body
.
For
this
cause
many
are
weake
and
sickly
among
you
,
and
many
sleepe
.
For
if
we
would
judge
our selves
,
we
should
not
be
judged
.
That
both
Ministers
and
people
are
to
take
the
Sacrament
,
kneeling
.
The
body
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
which
was
given
for
thee
,
preserve
thy
body
and
soule
into
everlasting
life
:
The
blood
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
which
was
shed
for
thee
,
preserve
thy
body
and
soule
into
everlasting
life
.
Make
your
humble
confession
to
Almighty
God
,
meekely
kneeling
upon
your
knees
.
That
Matrimony
is
an
honourable
estate
,
instituted
of
God
in
Paradise
,
in
the
time
of
mans
innocency
,
signifying
unto
us
the
mysticall
union
that
is
betwixt
Christ
and
his
Church
:
which
holy
estate
Christ
adorned
and
beautified
with
his
presence
,
and
first
miracle
that
he
wrought
in
and
is
commended
of
Saint
to
bee
honourable
among
all
men
,
and
therefore
is
not
to
be
enterprized
,
nor
taken
in
hand
unadvisedly
,
lightly
,
or
wantonly
,
to
saticfie
mens
carnall
lusts
and
appetites
,
like
bruite
beasts
that
have
no
understanding
,
but
reverently
,
discreetly
,
advisedly
,
soberly
,
and
in
the
feare
of
God
,
duely
considering
the
causes
for
which
Matrimony
was
ordained
;
one
was
the
procreation
of
Children
to
be
brought
up
in
the
feare
and
nurture
of
the
Lord
,
and
praise
of
God
.
Secondly
,
it
was
ordained
for
a
remedie
against
sinne
,
and
to
avoid
fornication
,
that
such
persons
as
have
not
the
gift
of
continency
,
might
marry
,
and
keepe
themselves
undefiled
Members
of
Christs
body
.
Thirdly
,
for
the
mutuall
sooietie
,
helpe
,
and
comfort
that
the
one
ought
to
have
of
the
other
,
both
in
prosperity
and
adversitie
.
Furthermore
it
is
also
ordained
,
that
the
Church
of
God
and
his
Kingdome
might
by
this
kinde
of
life
be
conserved
and
enlarged
,
not
onely
in
that
God
giveth
Children
by
his
blessing
,
but
also
,
in
that
they
be
brought
up
by
the
Parents
godly
,
in
the
knowledge
of
Gods
Word
,
that
thus
the
knowledge
of
God
,
and
true
Religion
might
bee
delivered
by
succession
from
one
to
another
,
that
finally
many
might
enjoy
that
everlasting
immortality
.

It
is
though
good
,
that
at
this
time
in
your
presence
should
bee
read
the
generall
sentences
of
Gods
cursing
against
impenitent
sinners
,
gathered
out
of
and
other
places
of
scripture
:
And
that
yee
should
answer
to
every
sentence
,
Amen
:
to
the
intent
,
that
you
,
being
admonished
of
the
great
indignation
of
God
against
sinners
,
may
the
rather
bee
called
to
earnest
and
true
repentance
,
and
may
walke
more
warily
in

dangerous
dayes

from
such
vices
,
for
the
which
yee
affirme
with
your
owne
mouthes
the
curse
of
God
to
bee
due
.
Now
seeing
that
all
they
bee
accursed
,
as
the

beareth
witnesse
,
which
doe
erre
and
goe
astray
from

let

Christ
ordained
the
authority
of
the
keyes
to
excommunicate
notorious
sinners
,
and
to
absolve
them
which
are
truly
penitent
.
In
the
primitive
Church
,
which
was
most
holy
and
godly
,
and
in
the
which
due
discipline

severitie
was
used

the
wicked

admitted
to

use
of
the
holy
Sacraments
with
other
true
Christians
,
untill
they
had
done
opēpenance
before
the
whole
Church

And
they
that
were
so
justly
exempted
and
banished
(
as
it
were
)
from
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
were
taken
(
as
they
be
indeed
)
for
men
divided
and
separated
from
Christs
Church
,
and
in
most
dangerous
estate
,
yea
as
Saint
saith
,
even
given
unto
Satan
the
Devill
for
a
time
,
and
their
company
was
shunned
and
avoided

all
godly

by
repentance
and
publike
penance
were
reconciled

Because
it
is
requisite
that
no
man
shold
come
to
the
holy
Communion
,
but
with
a
full
trust
in
Gods
mercy
,
and
with
a
quiet
conscience
:
therefore
if
there
be
any
of
you
,
which
by
the
meanes
aforesaid
,
cannot
quiet
his
owne
conscience
,
but
requireth
further
comfort
or
counsell
,
then
let
him
come
to
me
,
or
some
other
discreet
and
learned
Minister
of
Gods
Word
,
and
open
his
griefe
,
that
he
may
receive
such
ghostly
counsell
,
advice
,
and
comfort
:
as
his
conscience
may
be
relieved
,
and
that
by
the
ministery
of
Gods
Word
he
may
receive
comfort
,
and
the
benefit
of
absolution
,
to
the
quieting
of
his
conscience
,
and
avoyding
of
all
scruple
and
doubtfulnesse
.
The
sicke
person
shall
make
a
speciall
confession
,
if
he
feele
his
conscience
troubled
with
any
weighty
matter
.
After
which
confession
,
the
Priest
shall
absolve
him
after
this
sort
.
Our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
who
hath
left
power
to
his
Church
,
to
absolve
all
sinners
which
truely
repent
and
beleeve
in
him
,
of
his
great
mercy
forgive
thee
thine
offences
:
and
by
his
authority
committed
to
me
,
I
absolve
thee
from
all
thy
finnes
.
In
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Sonne
,
and
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
Amen
.
That
if
any
man
confesse
his
secret
and
hidden
sinnes
to
the
Minister
for
the
unburthening
of
his
conscience
,
and
to
receive
spirituall
consolation
and
ease
of
minde
from
him
,
We
doe
straightly
charge
and
admonish
him
,
that
he
doe
not
at
any
time
reveale
and
make
knowne
to
any
person
whatsoever
any
crime
or
offence
so
committed
to
his
trust
and
secrecie
(
except
they
bee
such
crimes
as
by
the
Lawes
of
this
Realme
,
his
owne
life
may
be
called
into
question
for
concealing
the
same
)
under
paine
of
irregularity
.
Although
absolution
hath
the
promise
of
forgivenesse
of
sinne
,
yet
by
the
expresse
word
of
the
new
Testament
it
hath
not
this
promise
annexed
and
tyed
to
the
visible
signe
,
which
is
imposition
of
hands
.
For
this
visible
signe
(
I
meane
laying
on
of
hands
)
is
not
expresly
commanded
in
the
new
Testament
to
bee
used
in
absolution
,
as
the
visible
signes
in
baptisme
and
the
Lords
Supper
are
:
and
therfore
absolution
is
no
such
Sacrament
as
Baptisme
and
the
Communion
are
.
Brethren
,
in
the
Primitive
Church
there
was
a
godly
discipline
,
that
at
the
beginning
of
Lent
,
such
persons
as
were
notorious
offenders
,
were
put
to
open
penance
,
and
punished
in
this
world
,
that
their
soules
might
be
saved
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
:
and
that
others
admonished
by
their
example
,
might
be
the
more
afraid
to
offend
.
In
the
stead
whereof
,
untill
the
said
discipline
may
be
restored
againe
(
which
thing
is
much
to
bee
wished
)
&c.
Will

Where
there
appeareth
at
these
dayes
great
slacknesse
and
negligence
of
a
great
sort
of
people
,
in
resorting
to
the
Church
,
there
to
serve
God
their
heavenly
Father
,
according
to
their
most
bounden
duty
,
as
also
much
uncomely
and
unreverent
behaviour
of
many
persons
in
the
same
,
when
they
bee
there
assembled
,
and
thereby
may
just
feare
arise
of
the
wrath
of
God
,
and
his
dreadfull
plagues
hanging
over
our
heads
for
our
grievous
offences
in
this
behalfe
,
among
other
many
and
great
sinnes
,
which
wee
daily
and
hourely
commit
before
the
Lord
.
And
indeed
concerning
the
people
and
multitude
,
the
Temple
is
prepared
for
them
to
be
hearers
,
rather
than
speakers
,
considering
that
aswell
the
word
of
God
is
there
read
or
taught
,
whereunto
they
are
bound
to
give
diligent
eare
,
with
all
reverence
and
silence
,
&c.
Thus
yee
have
heard
(
dearely
beloved
)
out
of
Gods
word
,
what
reverence
is
due
to
the
Holy
house
of
the
Lord
,
how
all
godly
persons
ought
with
diligence
at
times
appointed
thither
to
repaire
,
how
they
ought
to
behave
themselves
there
,
with
reverence
and
dread
before
the
Lord
,
what
plagues
and
punishments
,
aswell
temporall
,
as
eternall
,
the
Lord
in
his
holy
word
threatneth
,
as
well
to
such
as
neglect
to
come
to
his
holy
house
,
is
also
to
such
,
who
comming
thither
,
doe
unreverently
by
gesture
or
talke
there
behave
themselves
.
In
the
time
of
Divine
Service
,
and
of
every
part
thereof
,
all
due
reverence
is
to
bee
used
:
For
it
is
according
to
the
Apostles
rule
:
Let
all
things
bee
done
decently
and
according
to
order
.
Answerable
to
which
decencie
and
order
,
wee
judge
these
our
directions
following
:
No
man
shall

cover
his
head
in
the
Church
or
Chappell
in
the
time
of
Divine
Service
,
except
hee
have
some
infirmity
.
In
which
case
let
him
weare
a
night-cap
or
Coife
.
All
manner
of
persons
then
present
shall
reverently
kneele
upon
their
knees
,
when
the
generall
Confession
,
Letanie
,
and
other
Prayers
are
read
,
&
shall
stand
up
at
the
saying
of
the
Beleefe
,
according
to
the
rules
in
that
behalfe
prescribed
in
the
Booke
of
Common
prayer
.
And
likewise
when
in
time
of
Divine
Service
the
Lord
Iesus
shall
bee
mentioned
,
due
&
lowly
reverence
shall
be
done
by
all
persons
present
,
as
it
hath
beene
accustomed
:
Testifying
by
these
outward
Ceremonies
and
gestures
,
their
inward
humility
,
Christian
resolution
,
and
due
acknowledgement
that
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
the
true
and
eternall
Sonne
of
God
,
is
the
onely
Saviour
of
the
world
,
in
whom
alone
all
the
mercies
,
grace
,
and
promises
of
God
to
mankinde
for
this
life
and
the
life
to
come
,
are
fully
and
wholy
comprised
.
To
all
and
every
the
Ministers
,
Church-wardens
,
and
Side-men
,
within
the
City
,
Suburbs
,
and
Diocesse
of
London
.
WHereas
I
am
daily
advertised
by
the
relations
of
many
honest
and
Religious
persons
,
of
a
generall
misbehaviour
in
most
Churches
,
in
,
and
about
the
Citie
of
London
,
in
time
of
Divine
Service
;
Men
and
Boyes
sitting
then
covered
with
their
Hats
on
their
heads
,
without
all
shew
of
reverence
or
respect
,
either
of
that
holy
place
or
action
,
the
one
being
the
house
of
Almighty
God
,
the
other
a
continued
vicissitude
(
as
it
were
)
of
speech
betweene
God
and
his
people
.
The
due
consideration
whereof
might
easily
induce
any
well
disposed
Christian
,
to
use
such
outward
Posture
and
gesture
of
his
body
as
becommeth
that
sacred
place
,
and
the
great
Majestie
of
that
God
,
to
whom
they
come
at
that
time
professedly
to
performe
a
divine
worship
.
I
have
therefore
thought
it
my
duty
,
instantly
to
recommend
to
you
the
Ministers
,
Church-wardens
,
and
Side-men
,
the
reformation
of
this
profane
abuse
,
scandalous
to
our
Religion
,
against
an
expresse
Law
in
that
case
provided
,
and
condemned
by
the
contrary
practice
of
all
Christians
in
all
ages
,
in
their
like
solemnities
and
assemblies
;
praying
and
requiring
you
to
joyne
together
your
utmost
and
best
endeavours
to
effect
the
same
,
for
which
purpose
it
shall
bee
necessary
for
you
the
Church-wardens
and
Side-men
,
during
the
time
of
Divine
Service
,
diligently
to
looke
about
the
Church
,
and
where
you
see
any
covered
,
if
Boyes
,
or
of
the
younger
sort
,
these
to
shame
openly
by
pulling
off
their
Hats
,
and
chastice
with
such
discipline
,
as
you
have
been
laudably
accustomed
to
inflict
upon
such
rude
and
unmannerly
fellowes
.
If
of
the
elder
or
better
sort
(
though
I
well
hope
that
none
of
that
condition
out
of
their
owne
judgement
will
hereafter
offend
in
this
kinde
)
those
to
admonish
gravely
of
their
duety
,
representing
unto
them
the
inconveniences
of
this
their
ill
example
,
and
how
directly
repugnant
it
is
to
the
Apostles
rule
of
decency
in
the
Church
,
thus
to
celebrate
Diuine
Seruice
,
and
to
performe
a
professed
and
Religious
worship
of
Almighty
God
.
After
which
your
admonition
,
if
any
shall
obstinately
refuse
to
uncover
his
or
their
heads
in
Service
time
,
you
shall
then
present
them
to
mee
or
my
Chancellour
,
to
the
end
,
that
they
by
the
severity
of
censures
may
bee
amended
,
by
whom
brotherly
and
gentle
perswasions
have
beene
contemned
.
Moreover
also
,
I
am
certainely
informed
,
that
the
publike
Service
of
Almighty
God
in
the
Churches
is
much
omitted
,
and
thereby
come
to
neglect
,
and
almost
scorned
,
forasmuch
as
the
Ministers
reade

their
Sermons
,
according
to
the
order
of

Liturgie
,
and
the
Canon
in
that
case
provided
:
I
doe
therefore
hereby
require
all
the
Parsons
,
Vicars
,
and
Curates
in
my
Diocesse
,
to
take
care
that
they
offend
not
in
this
kinde
,
strictly
likewise
requiring
you
the
Church-wardens

Side-men
,
that
according

your
oathes

you

saith
:
I
heard
a
voyce

write

Blessed
are
the
dead
which
die
in
the
Lord

henceforth

saith
the
Spirit
,
that
they
may
rest
from
their
labours

their
workes
doe
follow
them

But
without
faith
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
it
is
unpossible
to
please
God
:
for
hee
that
commeth
to
God
,
must
beleeve
that
he
is

and
that
he
is
a
rewarder
of
them
that
seeke
him
diligently

Saint
saith
:
as
the
body
without
the
spirit
is
dead
,
so
faith
without
workes
is
dead
also

Saint
saith
to
This

thou
affirme

I

in

that
neither

me

And
all
these
things
I
doe
plainely
and
sincerely
acknowledge

according

according

understanding
of
the

without
any

I
doe

willingly

truly
upon

So
helpe

That
wee

our

grant
unto

to

of

and

and
to

That
it
may

thee
to

keepe

,
giving
them
grace

to

As
every
loving
father
correcteth
his
naturall
sonne
,
when
he
doth
amisse
,
or
else
hee
loveth
him
not
:
So
all
governours
of
Realmes
,
Countries
,
Townes
,
and
Houses
,
should
lovingly
correct
them
which
be
offenders
,
under
their
governance
,
and
cherish
them
which
live
innocently
,
if
they
have
any
respect
either
unto
God
or
their
office
,
or
love
unto
them
of
whom
they
have
governance
.
And
such
rebukes
and
punishments
of
them
that
offend
,
must
be
done
in
due
time
,
lest
by
delay
,
the
offenders
fall
headlong
into
all
manner
of
mischiefe
,
and
not
onely
bee
evill
themselves
,
but
also
doe
hurt
unto
many
men
,
drawing
other
by
their
evill
example
,
to
sinne
and
outrage
after
them

As
one
Theefe
may
both
robbe
many
men

and
also
make
many
Theeves
and
one
seditious
person
may
allure
many

and
annoy
a
whole
Towne
or
Countrey

And
such
evill
persons
that
be
so
great
offenders
to
God
,
and
the
Common-weale

charity
requireth
to
bee
cut
from
the
body
of
the
Common-weale
,
lest
they
corrupt
other
good
and
honest
persons
:
like
as
a
good
Surgion
cutteth
away
a
rotten
and
festered
member
,
for
love
hee
hath
to
the
whole
body
,
lest
it
infect
other
members
adioyning
to
it
.
God
of
his
mercy
put
it
into
the
hearts
and
mindes
of
all
them
that
have
the
sword
of
punishment
in
their
hands
,
or
have
families
under
their
governance
to
labour
for
to
redresse
this
great
enormitie
,
of
all
such
as
love
idlely
and
vnprofitably
in
the
Common-weale
,
to
the
great
dishonour
of
God
,
and
the
grievous
plague
of
his
silly
people
.
To
leave
si●●e
unpunished
,
and
to
neglect
the
good
bringing
vp
of
youth
,
is
nothing
else
but
to
kindle
the
Lords
wrath
against
us
,
and
to
heape
plagues
upon
our
owne
heads
.
Let
all
Officers
therefore
looke
straitly
to
their
Charge
.
Let
none
maintain
vagabonds
&
idle
persons
,
but
deliver
the
Realme
and
their
housholds
from
such
noysome
loyterers
,
that
idlenesse
the
mother
of
all
mischiefe
,
being
cleane
taken
away

Almighty
God
may
turne
his
dreadfull
anger
away
from
us
,
and
confirme
the
covenant
of
peace
upon
us
for
ever

IN
the
Homily
against
Swearing
and
perjury
,
it
is
said
:
Afterward
it
is
said
That
in
communication
wee
ought
not
to
sweare

Christs
words
doe
declare
,
where
he
saith
;
l
l
Mat.
5.34
,

,
36
,
37.
Sweare
not
at
all
,
neither
by

,
&c.
(
by
no
creature
)
But
let
your
communication
be
yea
,
yea
:
nay
nay
:
for
whatsoever
is
more
then
these
,
commeth
of
evill
.
The
which
Scripture
,
as
it
forbiddeth
all
manner
of
swearing
in
communication
;
so
it
forbiddeth
to
sweare
at
any
time
by
any
thing
,
excepting
the
name
of
God
onely
.
The
Lord
saith
to

sworne
by
them
that
are
no
gods
.
In
the
second
part
of
the
Homily
of
swearing
,
it
is
most
memorably
said
:
As
in
a
great
part
of
the
booke
intituled
we
may
find
much
divine
instruction
concerning
taking
a
lawful
oath
,
so
where
there
is
delivered
the
nature
of
an
oath
in
generall
,
it
is
much
remarkeable
.
It
is
*
there
said
,
When
one
layeth
his
hands
upon
the
Gospell
booke
,
and
signifieth
that
according
as
he
testifieth
the
truth
,
so
he
expecteth
and
desireth
helpe
from
God
and
the
contents
of
that
booke
,
he
sweareth
by
,
or
taketh
for
witnesse
the
everlasting
word
of
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
in
praying
for
benefit
by
that
word
,
according
as
then
hee
beareth
witnesse
unto
the
truth
.
To
sweare
therefore
by
the
everlasting
word
of
God
is
an
high
oath
.
For
saith
,
Thou
hast
magnified
thy
word
above
all
thy
name
That
from
the
Apostles
time
,
there
hath
beene
these
orders
of
Ministers
in
Christs
Church
,
which
officers
were
evermore
had
in
such
reverent
estimation
,
that
no
man
by
his
owne
private
authority
,
might
presume
to
execute
any
of
them
,
except
he
were
first
called
,
&c.
First
,
when
the
day
appointed
by
the
Bishop
is
come
,
there
shall
be
an
exhortation
,
declaring
the
duty
and
office
of
such
as
come
to
be
admitted
Ministers
,
how
necessarie
such
orders
are
in
the
Church
of
Christ
,
and
also
how
the
people
ought
to
esteeme
them
in
their
vocation

IN
the
Homily
an
exhortation
to
bee
spoken
to
such
Parishes
,
where
they
use
their

in
Rogation

,
for
the
oversight
of
the
bounds
and
limits
of
their
Towne

Whereas
it
is

places
in

that
peoples
minds
may
receive
instruction

in

going

is
it
not
done
for
the
glory
of
God
and
the
edification
of
the
company
?
It
is
written
in
the
booke
of
that
the
congregation
of
boothes
abroad
in

ayre

and
sate
under
the
boothes
.
And
day
by
day
from
the
first
day
unto
the
last
day
(
of
the
boothes
feast
)
hee
read
in
the
booke
of
the
Law
of
God
.
It
is
not
a
sinne
to
read
some
portion
of
scripture
unto
people
in
the
fields
,
neither
is
it
a
transgression
for
Christian
people
to
say
some
prayer
there
,
alwayes
provided
,
that
nothing
be
done
contrary
to
the
law
Ecclesiasticall
or
temporall
of
the
Realme
wherein
we
live
,
and
that
what
we
doe
,
be
by
common
authority
an
allowed
custome
.
It
is
written
in
the
that
by
a
rivers
side
prayer
was
sometimes
made
,
and
that
people
there
received
some
instruction
.
In
the
booke
of
the
Church
of
Christ
saith
thus
concerning
Iesus
Christ
:
I
am
my
beloveds
,
and
his
desire
is
towards
me
.
Come
,
my
beloved
,
let
us
goe
forth
into
the
field
:
let
us
lodge
in
the
villages
.
Let
us
get
up
earely
to
the
vineyards
,
let
us
see
if
the
vine
flourish
,
whether
the
tender
grape
appeare
,
and
the
pomegranats
bud
forth
:
there
will
I
give
thee
my
loves
:
That
is
,
there
will
I
say
,
O
Lord
our
Lord
,
how
excellent
is
thy
name
in
all
the
earth
:
there
will
I
give
thanks
unto
thee
,
and
sing
praises
unto
thy
name
,
O
most
High
:
I
will
there
triumph
in
the
workes
of
thy
hands

such
places

where
it
is
to
be
knowne
that
their
parish
bounds
doe

what
marke
or
signe
is
so
fit
to
be
made
?
It
is
the
Christian
signe
:
It
is
the
marke
wherewith
wee
were
signed
when
we
were
baptized
:
The
Crosse
of

is
that
wherein

In

part
of

there
is

out
of
an
ancient
godly
Writer
In
the
third
part
of
the
Homily
against

of
such
things
as
you
have

And
behold

The
Prophet
said
unto
Breake
off

and
thine
iniquities
by
shewing
mercy
to
the
poore

if
it
may
be
a
lengthning
of
thy
tranquillity
.
The
Church
hath
gathered
most
memorable
sentences
out
of
the
Scripture
concerning
Almes-giving
,
and
inserted
them
betweene
the
Nicene
Creed
&
the
prayer
for

of

here
on

and
in

rubricke
immediately
following
it
addeth
Where
Almes-giving
is
said
to
bee
devotion
,
because
it
is
a
maine
duty
in
the
Christian
Religion
,
as
S.
saith
:
Pure
religion
and
undefiled
before
God

is
this

To
visit
the
Fatherlesse
and
Widows
in
their
affliction
,
and
to
keepe
ones

unspotted
from

The
praise
of
is
,
That
he
was
a
devout
man
,
and
one
that
feared
God
with
all
his
house
,
which
gave
much
Almes
to
the
people
,

prayed
to
God
alway

the
waters
:
For
after
many
dayes
thou
shalt
finde
it
.
A
good
man
hath
dispersed
,
hee
hath
given
to
the
poore
:
his
righteousnesse
endureth
for
ever
.
Saint
Whoso
hath
this
worlds
good
,
and
seeth
his
brother
hath
need
,
&
shutteth
up
his
bowles
of
compassion
from
him
;
how
dwelleth
the
love
of
God
in
him
?
saith
,
Give
Almes
of
thy
substance
,
and
when
thou
givest
Almes
,
let
not
thine
eyes
be
envious
,
neither
turne
thy
face
from
any
poore
,
and
the
face
of
God
shall
not
be
turned
away
from
thee
.
If
thou
hast
abundance
,
give
Almes
accordingly
;
if
thou
have
but
a
little
,
bee
not
afraid
to
give
according
to
that
little
,
&c.
For
the
farthing
which
the
poore
widdow
gave
,
was
greatly
accepted
:
as
testifieth
Iesus
Christ
the
truth
eternall
.
Let
every
true
Christian
diligently
often
reade
through
the
whole
The
life
which
we
live
in
this
world
is
of
the
free
benefit
of
God
lent
us
,
yet
not
to
use
it
at
our
pleasure
,
after
our
owne
fleshly
will
:
but
to
trade
over
the
same
in
those
workes
which
are
beseeming
them
,
that
are
become
new
creatures
in
Christ
Fasting
,
which
is
found
in
the
Scriptures
,
is
of
two
sorts
.
The
one
outward
,
pertaining
to
the
body
;
the
other
inward
,
in
the
heart
and
minde
.
This
outward
Fast
,
is
an
abstinence
from
meate
,
drinke
,
and
all
naturall
food
,
yea
,
from
all
delitious
pleasures
and
delectations
worldly
.
When
this
outward
Fast
pertaineth
to
one
particular
man
,
or
to
a
few
,
and
not
the
whole
number
of
the
people
,
for
causes
which
hereafter
shall
be
declared
,
then
it
is
called
a
private
Fast
:
But
when
the
whole
multitude
of
men
,
women
,
and
children
,
in
a
towne-ship
City
,
yea
;
though
a
whole
country
do
fast
,
it
is
called
a
publike
Fast
Such
was
that
Fast
which
the
whole
Multitude
of
the
children
of
were
commanded
to
keep
the
tenth
day
of
the
seventh
moneth
,
because
Almighty
God
appointed
that
day
to
be
a
cleansing
day
,
a
day
of
atonement
,
a
time
of
reconciliation
,
a
day
wherein
people
were
cleansed
from
their
sinnes
.
The
order
and
manner
how
it
was
done
,
is
written
in
Chapters
of
That
day
the
people
did
lament
,
mourne
,
weepe
,
and
bewaile
their
former
sinnes
.
And
whosoever
upon
that
day
did
not
humble
his
soule
,
bewailing
his
sinnes
,
as
is
said
,
abstaining
from
all
bodily
food
,
untill
the
evening
,
that
soule
(
saith
Almighty
God
)
should
be
destroyed
from
among
his
People
.
upon
the
ordinance
of
this
generall
Fast
,
good
men
tooke
occasion
to
appoint
to
themselves
private
Fasts
,
at
such
times
as
they
did
either
earnestly
lament
and
bewaile
their
sinfull
lives
,
or
did
addict
themselves
to
more
fervent
Prayer
,
that
it
might
please
God
to
turne
his
wrath
from
them
,
when
either
they
were
admonished
and
brought
to
the
consideration
thereof
by
the
Preaching
of
the
Prophets
,
or
otherwise
when
they
saw
present
danger
to
hang
over
their
heads
.
This
sorrowfulnesse
of
heart
,
joyned
to
Fasting
,
they
uttered
sometime
by
their
outward
behaviour
and
gesture
of
body
,
putting
on
sackcloth
,
sprinkling
themselves
with
ashes
and
dust
,
and
sitting
or
lying
upon
the
earth
.
For
when
good
men
feele
in
themselves
the
heavie
burden
of
sinne
,
see
damnation
to
be
the
reward
of
it
,
and
behold
with
the
eye
of
their
minde
the
horrour
of
hell
,
they
tremble
,
they
quake
,
and
are
inwardly
touched
with
sorrowfulnesse
of
heart
for
their
offences
,
and
cannot
but
accuse
themselves
and
open
this
their
griefe
unto
Almighty
God
,
&
call
unto
him
for
q
q
Ps.
51.1
.
&c.
mercy
.
This
being
done
seriously
,
their
minde
is
so
occupied
,
partly
with
sorrow
and
heavinesse
,
partly
with
an
earnest
desire
to
be
delivered
from
this
danger
of
hell
and
damnation
,
that
all
desire
of
meate
and
drinke
is
laid
apart
,
and
lothsomnesse
of
all
worldly
things
and
pleasures
commeth
in
place
,
so
that
nothing
then
liketh
them
more
,
than
to
weepe
,
to
lament
,
to
mourne
,
and
both
with
words
and
behaviour
of
body
,
to
shew
themselves
weary
of
this
life
.
That
there
be
three
ends
,
whereunto
if
our
Fast
be
directed
,
it
is
then
a
worke
profitable
to
us
,
and
accepted
of
God
.
The
first
is
to
chastise
the
flesh
,
that
it
be
not
too
wanton
,
but
tamed
and
brought
into
subjection
,
to
the
spirit
.
This
respect
had
in
his
Fast
,
when
he
said
,
I
chastise
my
body
,
and
bring
it
into
subjection
lest
by
any
meanes
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
when
I
have
preached
to
other
,
I
my selfe
be
found
a
cast-away
.
The
second
,
that
the
spirit
may
be
more
earnest
and
fervent
to
prayer
,
To
this
end
fasted
the
Prophets
and
Teachers
that
were
at
before
they
sent
forth
to
preach
the
Gospell
.
The
same
Apostles
fasted
for
the
like
purpose
,
when
they
commended
to
God
,
by
their
earnest
prayers
,
the
congregation
,
which
were
at
as
we
read
it
in
the
of
the
Apostles
.
The
third
,
that
our
Fast
be
a
testimony
and
witnesse
with
us
before
God
,
of
our
humble
submission
to
his
High
Majesty
,
when
we
confesse
&
acknowledge
our
sinns
unto
him
,
and
are
inwardly
touched
with
sorrowfulnes
of
heart
,
bewailing
the
same
in
the
affliction
of
our
bodies
.
O
Lord
,
which
for
our
sake
didst
fast
forty
dayes
and
forty
nights
:
give
us
grace
to
use
such
abstinence
,
that
our
flesh
being
subdued
to
the
Spirit
,
wee
may
ever
obey
thy
godly
motions
in
righteousnesse
and
true
holinesse
.
Brethren
,
it
is
written
in
the
Gospell
of
Saint
that
our
Saviour
Christ
,
continued
the
whole
night
in
the
prayer
,
or
ever
that
hee
did
choose
and
send
forth
his
twelve
Apostles
.
It
is
written
also
in
the
of
the
Apostles
,
that
the
Disciples
which
were
at
fast
and
pray
,
or
ever
that
laid
hands
upon
,
or
sent
forth
IN
the
Homily
concerning
Falling
from
God
,
it
is
said
out
of
Saint
Conversion
is
the
charge
of
the
streame
of
minde
and
life
,
of
meditation
and
conversation
,
from
following
ones
owne
will
,
or
the
lusts
of
others
,
unto
an
unfeined
indeavour
for
to
know
all
the
Commandements
of
Christ
,
and
his
Church
,
and
to
live
obediently
unto
every
particular
of
the
same
.
Then
shall
I
not
be
ashamed
,
when
I
have
a
respect
unto
all
thy
Commandements
.
If
I
regard
iniquity
in
my
heart
,
the
Lord
will
not
heare
me
.
saith
,
If
the
wicked
will
turne
from
all
his
sinnes
that
he
hath
committed
,
and
keepe
all
my
Statutes
,
and
doe
that
w●●ch
is
lawfull
and
right
,
he
shall
surely
live
,
he
shall
not
dye
.
Christ
charged
his
Ministers
to
teach
all
Nations
to
observe
all
things
whatsoever
he
hath
commanded
them
.
He
also
saith
,
Yee
are
my
friends
if
yee
doe
whatsoever
I
command
you
.
And
concerning
the
duty
that
all
owe
unto
his
Church
,
hee
saith
,
Who
so
heareth
you
,
heareth
me
,
and
he
that
desoiseth
you
,
despiseth
me
:
and
hee
that
despiseth
mee
,
despiseth
him
that
sent
me
.
If
any
neglect
to
heare
the
Church
,
let
him
be
unto
thee
as
an
Heathen
man
,
and
a
Publicane
.
When
one
is
in
converting
or
turning
unto
God
,
he
is
said
in
holy
Scripture
Concerning
repentance
it
is
said
in
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
thereof
Afterward
there
is
signified
In
the
second
part
of
the
Homily
of
Repentance
,
it
is
said
:
The
first
is
the
condition
of
the
heart
.
For
we
must
be
earnestly
sory
for
our
sinnes
,
and
unfainedly
lament
and
bewaile
that
wee
have
by
them
so
grievously
offended
our
most
bounteous
and
mercifull
God
,
who
so
tenderly
loved
us
,
that
he
gave
his
onely
begotten
Sonne
to
dye
a
most
bitter
death
,
and
to
shed
his
deare
heart-blood
,
for
our
redemption
and
deliverance
.
And
verily
this
inward
sorrow
and
griefe
being
conceived
in
the
heart
for
the
heynoursnesse
of
sinne
,
if
it
be
earnest
and
unfeined
,
is
a
sacrifice
to
God
,
as
the
holy
Prophet
doth
testifie
,
saying
,
A
sacrifice
to
God
is
a
troubled
spirit
,
a
contrite
and
broken
heart
,
O
Lord
,
thou
wilt
not
despise
.
But
that
this
may
take
place
in
us
,
we
must
bee
diligent
to
read
and
heare
the
Scriptures
,
and
Word
of
God
,
which
most
lively
doe
paint
out
before
our
eyes
our
naturall
uncleannesse
,
and
the
enormity
of
our
sinfull
life
.
The
second
,
is
an
vnfained
confession
and
acknowledging
of
our
sinnes
unto
God
,
whom
by
them
wee
have
so
grievously
offended
,
that
if
he
should
deale
with
us
according
to
his
justice
,
we
doe
deserve
a
thousand
Hels
,
if
there
could
be
so
many
.
Yet
if
we
will
with
a
sorrowfull
and
contrite
heart
make
an
unfained
confession
of
them
unto
God
,
he
will
freely
and
frankly
forgive
them
,
and
so
put
all
our
wickedness
out
of
remembrance
before
the
sight
of
his
Majesty
,
that
they
shall
no
more
be
thought
upon
.
The
third
part
of
Repentance
is
faith
,
wherby
we
doe
apprehend
and
take
hold
upon
the
promises
of
GOD
,
touching
free
pardon
and
forgivenesse
of
our
sins
.
Which
promises
are
sealed
up
unto
us
,
with
the
death
and
bloodshedding
of
his
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
.
The
fourth
in
an
amendment
of
life
,
or
a
new
life
,
in
bringing
forth
the
fruits
worthy
of
repentance
.
For
they
that
doe
truly
repent
,
must
be
cleane
altered
,
&
changed
,
they
must
become
new
creatures
,
they
must
be
no
more
the
same
that
they
were
before
.
They
that
doe
from
the
bottome
of
their
hearts
acknowledge
their
sins
,
and
are
unfainedly
sorry
for
their
offences
,
will
cast
off
all
hypocrisie
,
and
put
on
true
humility
,
and
lowlinesse
of
heart
.
They
will
not
onely
receive
the
Physitian
of
the
soule
,
but
also
with
a
most
fervent
desire
long
for
him
.
They
will
not
onely
abstaine
from
the
sinnes
of
their
former
life
,
and
from
all
other
filthy
vices
,
but
also
flee
,
eschew
,
and
abhorre
all
the
occasions
of
them
,
and
as
before
they
did
give
themselves
to
uncleannesse
of
life
,
so
will
they
form
henceforwards
with
all
diligence
give
themselves
to
innocency
,
purenesse
of
life
,
and
true
godliness
.
after
his
repentance
,
was
no
more
the
man
that
he
was
before
,
but
was
cleane
changed
&
altered
.
It
is
therfore
our
parts
,
if
at
least
we
be
desirous
of
the
health
&
salvation
of
our
own
selves
,
most
earnestly
,
to
pray
unto
our
heavenly
father
,
to
assist
us
,
with
his
holy
Spirit
,
that
we
may
be
able
to
hearken
unto
the
voice
of
the
true
Shepheard
,
and
with
due
obedience
to
follow
the
same
.
Let
us
hearken
to
the
voyce
of
Almightie
God
,
when
he
calleth
us
to
repentance
,
let
us
not
harden
our
hearts
,
as
such
infidels
doe
,
who
abuse
the
time
given
them
of
God
to
repent
,
and
turne
it
to
continue
their
pride
and
contempt
against
God
and
man
,
which
know
not
how
much
they
heape
Gods
wrath
upon
themselves
,
for
the
hardnesse
of
their
hearts
,
which
cannot
repent
at
the
day
of
vengeance
.
In
the
third
part
of
the
Homily
of
Repentance
there
are
declared
some
causes
,
which
should
the
rather
move
us
unto
repentance
.
And
afterward
it
is
said
whereof
read
the
28.
Chapter
of
and
the
Exhortation
in
the
service
of
Commination
.
Concerning
Regeneration
or
birth
spirituall
it
is
signified
in
the
end
of
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
for
It
is
also
said
in
that
part
of
that
Regeneration
is
begun
in
Baptisme
,
(
as
the
Service
thereof
expresly
delivereth
)
and
it
is
increased
afterward
in
all
such
as
are
led
by
the
spirit
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Concerning
conversion
,
repentance
,
and
regeneration
,
the
holy
Scriptures
doe
thus
deliver
;
Iesus
Christ
saith
:
Verily
I
say
unto
you
,
Except
ye
be
converted
,
and
become
as
little
children
,
ye
shall
not
enter
into
the
Kingdome
of
heaven
.
Except
ye
repent
,
yee
shall
all
likewise
perish
.
Verily
,
verily
,
I
say
unto
thee
,
Except
a
man
be
borne
againe
,
he
cannot
see
the
kingdome
of
God
.
Verily
,
verily
,
I
say
unto
thee
,
except
a
man
be
borne
of
water
and
of
the
spirit
,
he
cannot
enter
into
the
Kingdome
of
God
.
Circumcise
the
fore-skin
of
your
heart
,
and
be
no
more
stiffe-necked
.
The
Lord
saith
by
Break
up
your
fallow
ground
,
and
sow
not
among
thornes
.
Circumcise
your selves
to
the
Lord
,
and
take
away
the
fore-skins
of
your
heart
:
lest
my
fury
come
forth
like
fire
,
and
burne
that
none
can
quench
it
,
because
of
the
evill
of
your
doings
.
Sow
to
your selves
in
righteousnesse
;
reape
in
mercie
:
breake
up
your
fallow
ground
:
for
it
is
time
to
seeke
the
Lord
,
till
he
come
and
raine
righteousnes
upon
you
.
Christ
said
to
the
Angel
of
the
Church
of
Remember
from
whence
thou
art
fallen
,
and
repent
,
and
doe
the
first
workes
,
or
else
I
will
come
unto
thee
quickly
,
and
will
remove
thy
Candlesticke
out
of
his
place
,
except
thou
repent
.
Saint
mentioneth
to
the
Corinthians
seven
fruits
of
such
repentance
,
saying
:
Godly
sorrow
worketh
repentance
to
salvation
not
to
be
repented
of
,
but
the
sorrow
of
the
world
worketh
death
.
For
behold
,
this
selfe
same
thing
that
ye
sorrowed
after
a
godly
sort
,
what
carefulnesse
it
wrought
in
you
,
yea
,
what
clearing
of
your selves
,
yea
,
what
indignation
,
yea
,
what
feare
,
yea
,
what
vehement
desire
,
yea
,
what
zeale
,
yea
,
what
revenge
,
&c.
MY
duty
towards
God
is
,
to
beleeve
in
him
,
to
feare
him
,
and
to
love
him
with
all
my
heart
,
with
all
my
minde
,
with
all
my
soule
,
and
with
all
my
strength
.
To
worship
him
,
to
give
him
thanks
,
to
put
my
whole
trust
in
him
,
to
call
upon
him
,
to
honour
his
holy
name
and
his
word
:
and
to
serve
him
truely
all
the
dayes
of
my
life
.
to
beleeve
in
God
.
And
this
is
not
onely
the
common
beleefe
of
the
Articles
of
our
Faith
,
but
it
is
also
a
true
trust
and
confidence
of
the
mercy
of
God
through
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
and
a
stedfast
hope
of
all
good
things
to
be
received
at
Gods
hand
;
and
that
although
we
,
through
infirmity
or
temptation
of
our
ghostly
enemy
;
doe
fall
from
him
by
sinne
,
yet
if
we
returne
againe
unto
him
by
true
repentance
,
that
he
will
forgive
and
forget
our
offences
for
his
Sonnes
sake
our
Saviour
Iesus
Christ
,
and
will
make
us
inheritors
with
him
of
his
everlasting
Kingdome
,
and
that
in
the
meane
time
untill
that
Kingdome
come
,
he
will
bee
our
protector
and
defender
in
all
perills
and
dangers
,
whatsoever
doe
chance
:
and
that
though
sometime
he
doth
send
us
sharpe
adversitie
,
yet
that
evermore
he
will
be
a
loving
father
unto
us
,
correcting
us
for
our
sinne
,
but
not
withdrawing
his
mercie
finally
from
us
,
if
we
trust
in
him
,
and
commit
our selves
wholy
unto
him
hang
only
upon
him
,
and
call
upon
him
,
ready
to
obey
and

The

IN
the
Service
of
Matrimony
the
Duties
of
married
persons
are
very
Divinely
delivered
.
The
Husbands
duty
briefly
is
comprehended
in
these
words
:
And
in
the
last
prayer
of
Matrimony
,
where
it
is
said
:
In
the
Homily
concerning
the
state
of
Matrimony
,
it
is
said
unto
the
Husband
,
In
the
said
Homily
it
is
also
delivered
Reade
the
remaining
delivery
,
wherin
is
declared
how
monstrous
and
horrible
a
wickednesse
it
is
,
for
a
man
to
use
any
manner
of
violence
or
roughnesse
to
the
person
of
his
Wife
;
and
also
sundry
more
duties
are
Divinely
prescribed
for
the
Husbands
observation
.
Now
concerning
the
Duty
of
the
wife
unto
her
husband
,
who
oftentimes
by
her
neglect
of
the
duties
which
she
is
bound
to
performe
unto
her
Husband
,
pulleth
upon
and
against
her selfe
many
unkindnesses
,
which
would
in
no
wise
come
to
passe
,
if
shee
had
conscience
and
care
to
doe
her
duties
.
And
the
wives
dutie
is
briefly
comprised
,
where
it
is
said
,
And
in
the
last
prayer
of
Matrimony
her
duty
is
divinely
signified
,
where
it
is
prayed
for
,
saying
:
In
the
Homily
concerning
the
state
of
Matrimony
,
it
is
said
:
afterward
it
is
signified
afterward
it
is
also
delivered
In
the
prayer
to
be
read
after
the
wed
with
the
Ring
,
The
dutie
both
of
man
and
wife
is
delivered
,
In
the
third
part
of
the
Homily
against
Whoredome
,
it
is
said
saith
,
Let
the
husband
render
unto
the
wife
due
benevolence
;
and
likewise
also
the
wife
unto
the
husband
.
The
wife
hath
not
power
over
her
owne
body
,
but
the
husband
:
and
likewise
also
the
husband
hath
not
power
of
his
owne
body
,
but
the
wife
.
Defraud
not
one
the
other
,
except
it
be
with
consent
for
a
time
,
that
ye
may
give
your selves
to
fasting
and
prayer
,
and
come
together
againe
that
Sathan
tempt
you
not
for
your
incontinencie
.
Rejoyce
with
the
wife
of
thy
youth
:
let
her
bee
as
the
loving
Hinde
,
and
pleasant
Roe
,
let
her
brests
satisfie
thee
at
all
times
,
and
bee
thou
ravisht
alwaies
with
her
love
.
Saint
willeth
,
that
young
women
be
taught
to
be
sober
,
to
love
their

to

their

to
be
discreet

,
keepers

good

obedient

their
owne

that
the

Yong

likewise
exhort
to
be

.
Here
such
persons
as
professe
the

unto
the
observation
of
all
Gods
Commandements

As
no
woman
knoweth
the
miserable
life
with
an
ill
husband
,
but
she
that
feeleth
it
:
so
no
man
can
throughly
comprehend
,
what
are
the
sorrowes
which
a
wicked
wife
causeth
to
her

,

doe
make
mention
of
some
of
them
.
That
children
should
bee
vertuously
brought
up
to
lead
a
godly
and
a
Christian
life
.
That
they
are
to
be
called
upon
for
to
heare
sermons
,
and
that
they
learne
the
Creed
,
the
Lords
prayer
,
and
the
ten
Commandements
in
the
English
tongue
,
and
all
other
things
which
Christians
ought
to
know
and
beleeve
to
their
soules
health
.
That
they
are
to
be
brought
up
in
the
feare
and
nurture
of
the
Lord
.
That
they
be
brought
up
by
the
parents
godly
,
in
the
knowledge
of
Gods
Word
,
that
thus
the
knowledge
of
God
and
true
religion
might
be
delivered
by
succession
from
one
to
another
,
that
finally
many
might
enjoy
that
everlasting
immortality
.
As
man
and
wife
are
bound
to
live
together
in
all
godlinesse
and
honesty
;
so
likewise
is
it
their
duty
,
vertuously
to
bring
up
their
children
,
and
provide
,
that
they
fall
not
into
Sathans
snare
,
nor
into
any
uncleannesse
,
but
that
they
come
pure
and
honest
unto
holy
wedlocke
,
when
time
requireth
.
Let
all
parents
and
others
,
which
have
the
care
and
governance
of
youth
,
so
bring
them
up
either
in
good
learning
,
labour
,
or
some
honest
occupation
or
trade
,
whereby
they
may
be
able
in
time
to
come
,
not
only
to
sustaine
themselves
competently
,
but
also
to
releeve
and
supply
the
necessity
and
want
of
others
.
God
utterly
condemneth
and
disalloweth
,
whatsoever
draweth
us
from
our
duty
towards
God
,
or
diminisheth
our
charity
towards
our
neighbours
and
children
,
whom
we
ought
to
love
as
our selves
.

For
that
they
taught
the
people
such
a
devotion
,
that
they
offred
their
goods
into
the
treasure
house
of
the
Temple
,
under
the
pretence
of
Gods
honour
,
leaving
their
fathers
and
mothers
(
to
whom
they
were
chiefly
bound
)
unholpen
,
and
so
they
brake
the
Commandements
of
God
,
to
keepe
their
owne
traditions
.
Good
naturall
children
will
not
onely
become
obedient
to
the
commandement
of
their
parents
,
but
also
have
a
diligent
eye
to
their
doings
,
and
gladly
follow
the
same
.
That
they
shall
cause
their
servants
and
prentices
(
which
haue
not
learned
their
Catechisme
)
to
come
to
the
Church
at
the
time
appointed
,
and
obediently
to
heare
,
and
bee
ordered
by
the
Curate
,
untill
such
time
that
they
have
learned
all
that
is
here
appointed
for
them
to
learne
.
That
all
Masters
and
Rulers
ought
to
provide
that
no
whoredome
,
nor
any
point
of
uncleannesse
bee
used
among
their
servants
.
God
of
his
mercy
put
it
into
the
hearts
and
minds
of
all
them
that
have
the
sword
of
punishment
in
their
hands
,
or
have
families
under
their
governance
,
to
labour
for
to
redresse
this
great
enormity
,
of
all
such
as
live
idlely
and
unprofitably
in
the
Common
weale
,
to
the
great
dishonour
of
God
,
and
the
grievous
plague
of
his
seely
people
.
To
leave
sinne
unpunished
,
and
to
neglect
the
good
bringing
up
of
youth
,
is
nothing
else
but
to
kindle
the
Lords
wrath
against
us
,
and
to
heape
plagues
upon
our
owne
heads
.
As
long
as
the
adulterous
people
were
suffered
to
live
licenciously
without
reformation
:
so
long
did
the
plague
continue
and
increase
in
Israel
,
as
ye
may
see
in
the
booke
of
But
when
due
correction
was
done
upon
them
,
the
Lords
anger
was
straight-way
pacified
,
and
the
plague
Here
ought
artificers
and
labouring
men
,
who
be
at
wages
for
their
worke
and
labour
,
to
consider
their
conscience
to
God
,
and
their
dutie
to
their
neighbours
,
lest
they
abuse
their
time
in
idlenesse
,
so
defrauding
them
which
bee
at
charge
both
with
great
wages
,
and
deare
commons
.
They
bee
worse
then
idle
men
indeed
,
for
that
they
seeke
to
have
wages
for
their
loytering
.
It
is
lesse
danger
to
God
to
be
idle
for
no
gaine
,
than
by
idlenesse
to
win
out
of
their
neighbours
purses
wages
for
that
which
is
not
deserved
.
It
is
true
,
that
Almighty
God
is
angry
with
such
as
do
defraud
the
hired
man
of
his
wages
:
the
cry
of
that
injury
ascendeth
up
to
Gods
eare
for
vengeance
.
And
as
true
it
is
,
that
the
hired
man
,
who
useth
deceit
in
his
labour
,
is
a
theefe
before
God
.
Let
no
man
saith
Saint
to
the
beguile
his
brother
,
let
him
not
defraud
him
in
his
businesse
:
for
the
Lord
is
a
revenger
of
such
deceits
.
Here
might
be
charged
the
Serving-men
of
this
Realme
,
who
spend
their
time
in
much
idlenesse
of
life
,
nothing
regarding
the
opportunity
of
their
time
,
forgetting
how
service
is
no
heritage
,
how
age
will
creepe
upon
them
:
Where
wisedome
were
they
should
expend
their
idle
time
in
some
good
businesse
,
whereby
they
might
increase
in
knowledge
,
and
so
the
more
worthy
to
bee
ready
for
every
mans
service
.
It
is
a
great
rebuke
to
them
,
that
they
studie
not
either
to
write
faire
,
to
keepe
a
booke
of
account
,
to
study
the
tongues
,
and
so
to
get
wisdome
and
knowledge
in
such
bookes
and
workes
,
as
be
now
plentifully
set
out
in
print
of
all
manner
of
Languages
.
There
is
one
worke
,
in
the
which
be
all
good
workes
,
that
is
,
Faith
,
which
worketh
by
charity
:
If
thou
have
it
,
thou
hast
the
ground
of
all
good
workes
.
For
the
vertues
of
strength
,
wisedome
,
temperance
,
and
justice
,
be
all
referred
unto
this
same
faith
.
Strengthen
them
,
wee
beseech
thee
,
O
Lord
,
with
the
Holy
Ghost
the
Comforter
,
and
daily
increase
in
them
thy
manifold
gifts
of
Grace
,
the
spirit
of
wisdome
and
understanding
,
the
spirit
of
counsell
and
ghostly
strength
,
the
spirit
of
knowledge
and
true
godlinesse
,
and
fulfill
them
(
O
Lord
)
with
the
spirit
of
thy
holy
feare
.
Let
us
with
so
good
an
heart
pray
,
as
did
,
and
wee
shall
not
faile
but
to
have
the
spirit
of
Wisdomes
assistance
.
For
he
is
soone
seene
of
them
that
love
him
,
hee
will
be
found
of
them
that
seeke
him
:
for
very
liberall
and
gentle
is
the
spirit
of
Wisdome
.
In
his
power
shall
we
have
sufficient
ability
to
know
our
duty
to
God
,
in
him
shall
wee
be
comforted
and
couraged
to
walke
in
our
duty
,
in
him
shall
wee
bee
meete
vessels
to
receive
the
grace
of
Almighty
God
:
for
it
is
hee
that
purgeth
and
purifieth
the
minde
by
his
secret
working
.
And
he
onely
is
present
every
where
by
his
invisible
power
,
and
containeth
all
things
in
his
dominion
.
Hee
lightneth
the
heart
to
conceive
worthy
thoughts
to
Almighty
God
,
shee
sitteth
in
the
tongue
of
man
to
stirre
him
to
speake
his
honour
,
no
language
is
hid
from
him
,
for
he
hath
the
knowledge
of
all
speech
,
he
onely
ministreth
spirituall
strength
to
the
powers
of
our
soule
and
body
.
Because
the
soule
is
much
more
precious
and
excellent
than
the
body
,
therefore
we
ought
first
of
all
,
to
crave
such
things
as
properly
belong
to
the
salvation
thereof
:
as
the
gift
of
Repentante
,
the
gift
of
Faith
,
the
gift
of
Charity
and
good
Workes
,
remission
and
forgivenesse
of
sinnes
,
patience
in
adversitie
,
lowlinesse
in
prosperitie
,
and
such
other
like
fruites
of
the
Spirit
,
as
Hope
,
Love
,
Ioy
,
Peace
,
Long-suffering
,
Gentlenesse
,
Goodnesse
,
Meekenesse
,
and
Temperance
,
which
things
God
requireth
of
all
them
that
professe
themselves
to
be
his
children
.
O
but
how
shall
I
know
that
the
holy
Ghost
is
within
me
,
some
man
perchance
will
say
?
Forsooth
,
as
the
tree
is
knowne
by
his
fruit
,
so
is
also
the
Holy
Ghost
.
The
fruits
of
the
Holy
Ghost
according
to
the
minde
of
Saint
are
these
:
Love
;
joy
,
peace
,
long-suffering
,
gentlenesse
,
goodnesse
,
faithfulnesse
,
meeknesse
,
temperance
,
&c.
If
thou
see
that
thy
workes
be
vertuous
,
and
good
,
consonant
to
the
prescript
rule
of
Gods
Word
,
savouring
and
tasting
not
of
the
flesh
,
but
of
the
spirit
,
then
assure
thy selfe
that
thou
art
indued
with
the
Holy
Ghost
:
otherwise
in
thinking
well
of
thy selfe
,
thou
doest
nothing
else
but
deceive
thy selfe
Love
and
charity
is
the
onely
Livery
of
a
Christian
man
.
O
Lord
which
doest
teach
vs
that
all
our
doings
without
Charity
are
nothing
worth
:
send
thy
Holy
Ghost
,
and
power
into
our
hearts
that
most
excellent
gift
of
Charity
,
the
very
bond
of
peace
and
all
vertues
,
without
the
which
whosoever
liveth
,
is
counted
dead
before
thee
Who
will
not
marvell
at
that
,
which
is
written
in
the
of
the
Apostles
,
to
heare
their
bold
confession
before
the
Countill
at
and
to
consider
that
they
went
away
with
Ioy
and
gladnesse
,
rejoycing
that
they
were
counted
worthy
to
suffer
rebukes
and
checkes
for
the
name
and
faith
of
Christ
Iesus
?
This
was
the
mighty
worke
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
who
because
hee
giveth
patience
,
and
joyfulnesse
of
heart
in
temptation
and
affliction
,
hath
therefore
worthily
obtained
this
name
in
holy
Scriptures
,
to
bee
called
a
O
God
which
art
Author
of
Peace
,
&
lover
of
concord
,
&c.
And
give
unto
thy
servants
that
Peace
which
the
world
cannot
give
,
that
both
our
hearts
may
be
set
to
obey
thy
commandements
,
and
also
that
by
thee
wee
being
defended
from
the
feare
of
our
enemies
,
may
passe
our
time
in
rest
and
viz.
Grant
wee
beseech
thee
mercifull
Lord
,
to
thy
faithfull
people
pardon
and
Peace
,
that
they
may
be
cleansed
from
all
their
sinnes
,
and
serve
thee
with
a
quiet
minde
So
shall
we
please
God
,
and
have
the
exceeding
benefit
,
Peace
of
conscience
,
rest
and
quietnesse
in
this
world
&c.
Let
us
pray
to
God
(
the
onely
Author
of
these
heavenly
studies
)
that
we
may
speake
,
thinke
,
beleeve
,
live
,
and
depart
hence
,
according
to
the
wholesome
Doctrine
,
and
verities
of
the
holy
Scriptures
.
And
by
that
meanes
in
this
world
we
shall
have
Gods
defence
,
favour
and
grace
,
with
the
unspeakeable
solace
of
Peace
,
and
quietnesse
of
conscience
,
and
after
this
miserable
life
,
we
shall
enjoy
the
endlesse
blisse
and
glory
of
heaven
If
you
be
provoked
with
evill
speaking
,
arme
your selfe
with
patience
,
lenity
and
silence
,
either
speaking
nothing
,
or
else
being
very
soft
,
meeke
,
and
gentle
in
answering
.
Overcome
thine
adversary
with
benefits
and
Gentlenesse
.
Doe
the
best
ye
can
of
your
parts
,
to
custome
your selves
to
softnesse
and
Meeknesse
,
and
beare
well
in
worth
such
over

as

and
thus
shall
your

be
most
pleasant

that

Good
Lord
,
if
I
be
necessary
for
thy
people
to
doe
good
unto
them
,
I
will
refuse
no

but
else
for
mine
owne
selfe
,
I
beseech
thee
to
take
my
soule
.
Every
Christian
mans
word
saith
Saint
should
be
so
true
,
that
it
should
bee
regarded
as
an
oath
.
And
witnessing
the
same
,
saith
,
It
is
not
convenient
to
sweare
:
for
what
needeth
us
to
sweare
,
when
it
is
not
lawfull
for
one
of
us
to
make
a
lye
unto
another
.
Hee
that
useth
truth
and
plainnesse
in
his
bargaining
and
communication
,
hee
shall
have
no
need
by
such
vaine
swearing
,
to
bring
himselfe
in
credence
with
his
neighbours
,
nor
his
neighbours
will
not
mistrust
his
sayings
.

Most

it
is

In
the
third
part
of
the
Homily
of
Repentance
,
it
is
said
The
Apostle
to
the

:
Wee
desire

In

he
saith

Seest

he
shall
stand

being
idle
Let
us
content
our selves
quietly
with
that
which
God
sendeth
,
be
it
never
so
little
.
And
if
it
please
him
to
send
us
plenty
,
let
us
not
waxe
proud
thereof
,
but
let
us
use
it
moderately
,
aswell
to
our
owne
comfort
,
as
to
the
reliefe
of
such
as
stand
in
necessity
.
Every
Christian
ought
to
content
himselfe
in
our
Saviour
Christ
,
thinking
himselfe
sufficiently
garnished
with
his
heavenly
vertues
Let
us
take
unto

simplicity
,
chastity
,

submitting
our

of
Christ
But
now
forasmuch
as
ye

it
is
Gods
determinate
pleasure

;
seeing
yee
heare
what
displeasure
God
conceiveth
,
what
plagues
he
powreth
upon
his
disobedient
people

seeing
ye
understand
what
blessings
of

are
given
,
what
heavenly
commodities
come
to
such
people
as
desirously
and
zealously
use

their
Churches
:
seeing
also
ye
are
now
friendly
bidden
and
joyntly
called

beware
that
ye
slacke
not
your
duty
,
take
heed
that
you

Homily

Gluttony
and
Drunkennesse

Homily

In

third
part

with
what
conditions
a

saying
:
He

husband
of
one
wife
,
vigilant
,
sober
,
of
good
behaviour
given
to
hospitality
,
apt

&c.
The
Apostle
commandeth
women
to
adorne
themselves
in
modest
apparell
.
Also
he
teacheth
that
aged
men
bee
sober
,
grave
,
temperate
,
sound
in
faith
,
in
charity
,
in
pacience

The

not
false
accusers

not

Speake

and
yet
scarcely
when
thou
art
twice
asked

Let
thy

bee
short
,
comprehending
much
in
few
words

bee

If
thou

IN
the
Collect
for
Saint
day
it
is

In
the
first
Homily
of
the
Passion
it
is
said
,
saith
,
My
brethren
,
count
it
all
joy
when
ye
fall
into
divers
temptations
,
knowing
this
,
that
the
trying
of
your
faith
worketh
patience
:
but
let
patience
have
her
perfect
worke
,
that
ye
may
be
perfect
and
entire
,
wanting
nothing
.
Saint
to
the
saith
,
Be
patient
toward
all
men
.
And
againe
Saint
saith
,
Bee
patient
therefore
brethren
,
unto
the
comming
of
the
Lord
:
Behold
the
husbandman
waiteth
for
the
precious
fruit
of
the
earth
,
and
hath
long
patience
for
it
,
untill
hee
receive
the
early
and
latter
raine
.
Bee
ye
also
patient
;
stablish
your
hearts
:
for
the
comming
of
the
Lord
draweth
nigh
.
Take
,
my
brethren
,
the
Prophets
,
who
have
spoken
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
for
an
ensample
of
suffering
affliction
,
and
of
patience
.
Behold
,
wee
count
them
happy
which
endure
.
Ye
have
heard
of
the
patience
of
and
have
seene
the
end
of
the
Lord

that
the
Lord
is
very
pittifull
,
and
of
tender
mercy
.
Above
all
things
,
keepe
peace
and
unity
:
be
no
Peace
breakers
,
but
Peace-makers
.
And
then
there
is
no
doubt
,
but
that
God
the
Authour
of
comfort

peace
,
will
grant
us
peace
of
Conscience

such
concord

agreement

we
may
glorifie
God
the

Lord
Iesus
Christ

If

leave
there
thy

Altar
,
and
goe
thy
way
,
first
bee
reconciled
to
thy

,
and
then
come
and
offer
thy
gift
.
Agree
with
thine
adversary
quickly
,
whiles
thou
art
in
the
way
with
him
:
lest
at
any
time
the
adversary
deliver
thee
to
the
Iudge
,
&
the
Iudge
deliver
thee
to
the
officer
,
and
thou
be
cast
into
prison
.
Verily
,
I
say
unto
thee
,
thou
shalt
be
no
meanes
come
out
thence
till
thou
hast
payed
the
uttermost
farthing
.
The
Law

the
Lord
saith
,
The
guilty
shall
restore
that
which
hee
tooke
violently
away
,
or
the
thing
which
hee
hath
deceitfully
gotten
,
or
that
which
was
delivered

to
keepe
,
or
the
lost
thing
which
he
found
.
Read
the
sixt
Chapter
of

the
7.
first
verses
.
In
the
last
whereof
it
is

,
that
forgivenesse
for
such
transgressions

for
from
God
,
untill
restitution

made
,
or
at
least
unfainedly
intended
,
desired
,
resolved
on
,
and
set
forward
according
to
the
very
uttermost
of
one
ability
.
Read
the
Lawes
concerning
restitution
in
22
,
&c.
If
wee
finde
any
of
our
neighbours
substance
be
it
of
what
kinde
soever
,
wee
are
bound
to
restore
it
unto
him
againe
22.1.2.3
.
See
It
is
not
meete
that
we
should
crave
forgivenesse
of
our
great
offences
at
Gods
hands
,
and
yet
will
not
forgive
the
small
trespasses
of
our
neighbour
against
us
.
We
doe
call
for
mercie
in
vaine
,
if
we
will
not
shew
mercy
to
our
neighbours
.
For
if
wee
will
not
put
wrath
and
displeasure
forth
of
our
hearts
to
our
Christian
brother
,
no
more
will
God
forgive
the
displeasure
and
wrath
that
our
sinnes
have
deserved
afore
him
.
For
under
this
condition
doth
God
forgive
us
,
if
we
forgive
other
.
It
becommeth
not
Christian
men
to
bee
hard
one
to
another
,
nor
yet
to
thinke
their
neighbour
unworthy
to
be
forgiven
.
For
howsoever
unworthy
he
is
,
yet
is
Christ
worthy
to
have
thee
to
do
thus
much
for
his
sake
,
he
hath
deserved
it
of
thee
,
that
thou
shouldest
forgive
thy
neighbour
.
And
God
is
also
to
bee
obeyed
,
which
commandeth
us
to
forgive
,
if
we
will
have
any
part
of
the
pardon
which
our
Saviour
Christ
purchased
once
of
God
the
Father
,
by
shedding
of
his
precious
blood
.
He
which
hateth
his
brother
,
abideth
in
death
,
even
in
the
danger
of
everlasting
death
,
and
is
moreover
the
child
of
damnation
and
of
the
divell
,
cursed
of
God
,
and
hated
(
so
long
as
hee
so
remaineth
)
of
God
and
all
his
heavenly
company
.
For
as
peace
and
charity
doth
make
us
the
blessed
children
of
Almighty
God
;
so
doth
hatred
and
envie
make
us
the
cursed
children
of
the
Divell
.
Ye
shall
briefly
take
this
short
lesson
.
Wheresoever
yee
finde
the
spirit
of
arrogancie
,
and
pride
,
the
spirit
of
envie
,
hatred
,
contention
,
cruellie
,
murder
,
extortion
,
witchcraft
,
necormaniec
,
&c.
assure
your selves
,
that
there
is
the
spirit
of
the
Devill
,
and
not
of
God
,
albeit
they
pretend
outwardly
to
the
world
never
so
much
holinesse
.
For
as
the
Gospell
teacheth
us
,
the
spirit
of
the
Iesus
is
a
good
spirit
,
and
Holy
spirit
,
a
sweet
spirit
,
a
lowly
spirit
,
a
mercifull
spirit
,
full
of
charity
and
loue
,
full
of
forgivenesse
and
pitty
;
not
rendring
evill
for
evill
,
extremity
for
extremity
,
but
overcomming
evill
with
good
,
and
remitting
all
offence
even
from
the
heart
.
According
to
which
rule
,
if
a
man
live
uprightly
,
of
him
it
may
be
safely
pronounced
,
that
hee
that
the
Holy
Ghost
within
him
:
If
not
,
then
it
is
a
plaine
taken
,
that
he
doth
usurpe
the
name
of
the
Holy
Ghost
in
vaine
.
The Lord is kinde and mercifull , when sinners doe him grieve : The slowest to conceive a wrath , and readiest to forgive . He chides not us continually , though we be full of strife : Nor keepes our faults in memory , for all our sinfull life .
My
duty
is
to
exhort
you
to
consider
the
dignity
of
the
holy
mysterie
,
and
the
great
perill
of
the
unworthy
receiving
thereof
,
and
to
search
and
examine
your
owne
consciences
,
as
you
should
come
holy
and
cleane
to
a
most
godly
and
heavenly
feast
,
&c.
The
way
and
meanes
thereto
is
:
first
to
examine
your
lives
and
conversation
by
the
rule
of
Gods
Commandements
,
and
wherin
soever
ye
shall
perceive
your selves
to
have
offended
,
either
by
will
,
word
or
deed
,
there
to
bewaile
your
owne
sinfull
lives
,
and
confesse
your selves
to
Almighty
God
,
with
full
purpose
of
amendment
of
life
.
Forasmuch
as
after
this
life
,
there
is
account
to
be
given
unto
the
righteous
Iudge
,
of
whom
all
must
be
judged
without
respect
of
persons
:
I
require
you
to
examine
your selfe
,
and
your
state
both
toward
God
and
man
,
so
that
accusing
and
condemning
your selfe
for
your
own
faults
,
you
may
finde
mercy
at
our
heavenly
Fathers
hand
for
Christs
sake
,
and
not
be
accused
and
condemned
in
that
fearefull
judgement
.
Let
us
all
universall
and
singular
,
behold
our
owne
manners
and
lives
,
to
amend
them
.
Yea
now
at
the
least
,
let
us
call
our selves
to
an
accompt
,
that
it
may
grieve
us
of
our
former
evill
conversation
,
that
we
may
hate
sinne
,
that
we
may
sorrow
and
mourne
for
our
offences
,
that
wee
may
with
teares
powre
them
out
before
God
,
that
we
may
with
sure
trust
desire
and
crave
the
salve
of
his
mercy
,
bought
and
purchased
with
the
blood
of
his
dearely
beloved
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
to
heale
our
deadly
wounds
withall
.
For
surely
,
if
we
doe
not
with
earnest
repentance
cleanse
the
filthy
stomacke
of
our
soule
,
it
must
needes
come
to
passe
,
that
as
wholesome
meat
received
into
a
raw
stomacke
corrupteth
and
marreth
all
,
and
is
the
cause
of
further
sicknesse
:
so
shall
we
eate
this
wholesome
Bread
,
and
drinke
this
Cup
to
our
eternall
destruction
.
Thus
we
and
not
other
must
throughly
examine
,
and
not
lightly
looke
over
our selves
,
not
other
men
;
our
owne
conscience
,
not
other
mens
lives
;
which
we
ought
to
doe
uprightly
,
truly
,
&
with
just
correction
.
Let
as
take
heed
we
come
not
with
our
sinnes
unexamined
,
into
this
presence
of
our
Lord
and
judge
.
If
they
be
worthy
blame
,
which
kisse
the
Princes
hand
with
a
filthy
and
uncleane
mouth
:
shalt
thou
be
blamelesse
,
which
with
a
stinking
soule
,
full
of
covetousnesse
,
fornication
,
drunkennes
,
pride
full
of
wretched
cogitations
and
thoughts
,
doest
breathe
out
iniquity
and
uncleannesse
on
the
Bread
and
Cup
of
the
Lord
?
Iudge
therefore
your selves
(
brethren
)
that
you
bee
not
judged
of
the
Lord
.
The
word
that
I
have
spoken
,
the
same
shall
judge
you
in
the
last
day
.
And
that
of
every
idle
word
,
that
men
shall
speake
,
they
shall
give
account
in
the
day
of
judgement
.
For
by
thy
words
thou
shalt
be
justified
,
and
by
thy
words
thou
shalt
be
condemned
.
Corinthians
,
viz.
I
thought
on
my
wayes
:
and
turned
my
feet
unto
thy
testimonies
.
I
made
hast
,
and
delayed
not
to
keepe
thy
Commandements
.
My
flesh
trembleth
for
feare
of
thee
,
and
I
am
afraid
of
thy
judgements
.
I
will
meditate
in
thy
Precepts
:
and
have
a
respect
unto
thy
wayes
.
I
am
a
companion
of
all
them
that
feare
thee
:
and
of
them
that
keepe
thy
Precepts
.
I
have
remembred
thy
name
,
O
Lord
in
the
night
,
and
have
kept
thy
law
.
Mine
eyes
prevent
the

that
I
might
meditate

thy
Word

O
how
I
love
thy
Law
!
it
is
my
meditation
all
the

.
Iudge
not

that
ye
be
not
judged

For
with
what
judgement
ye
judge

yee
shall
be
judged
,
and
with
what
measure
yee

it
shall
be

why
beholdest
thou
the

that
is

considerest

let
me

Thou

O
God
heavenly
Father
,
which
by
thy
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
hast
promised
to
all
that
seeke
thy
Kingdome
,
and
the
righteousnesse
thereof
,
all
things
necessary
for
their
bodily
sustenance
,
&c.
That
as
long
as
in
the
first
Kingdome
the
subjects
continued
in
due
obedience
to
God
their
King
,
so
long
did
God
embrace
all
his
subjects
with
his
love
,
favour
and
grace
;
which
to
enjoy
,
is
perfect
felicity
:
whereby
it
is
evident
,
that
obedience
is
the
principall
vertue
of
all
vertues
,
and
indeed
the
very
root
of
all
vertues
,
and
the
cause
of
all
felicity
.
But
as
all
felicity
and
blessednesse
should
haue
continued
with
the
continuance
of
obedience
,
so
with
the
breach
of
obedience
,
and
the
breaking
in
of
rebellion
,
all
vices
and
miseries
did
withall
breake
in
,
and
overwhelme
the
world
.
The
imitation
of
Christ
The
Kingdome
of
God
is
within
,
saith
Christ
.
Turne
thee
unto
the
Lord
with
all
thine
heart
,
having
forsaken
this
wretched
world
,
and
thou
shalt
finde
rest
for
thy
soule
.
Learne
to
contemne
outward
things
,
and
to
addict
thy selfe
to
spirituall
;
so
shalt
thou
perceive
the
Kingdome
of
God
to
come
unto
thee
.
For
the
Kingdome
of
God
is
righteousnes
&
peace
,
&
joy
in
the
Holy
Ghost
,
which
the
wicked
enjoy
not
.
Christ
will
come
unto
thee
and
comfort
thee
,
if
thou
make
a
John
Baptists
sit
resting
place
for
him
within
thee
.
For
all
his
glory
and
beauty
is
within
,
there
doth
he
gladly
abide
.
With
the
inner
man
doth
he
oftentimes
walke
,
and
reason
sweetly
,
and
delight
himselfe
pleasantly
,
and
agree
notably
,
and
familiarly
continue
.
Goe
too
now
,
O
faithfull
soule
,
prepare
thine
heart
for
this
Bridegroome
,
that
he
may
come
unto
thee
,
and
dwell
within
thee
.
For
thus
he
saith
:
If
any
man
love
mee
,
hee
will
keepe
my
word
,
and
my
Father
will
love
him
,
and
we
will
come
unto
him
,
and
will
dwell
with
him
.

of
thee

As
you
professe
the
Name
of
Christ
(
good
Christian
people
)
let
no
phantasie
and
imagination
of
faith
at
any
time
beguile
you
:
but
be
sure
of
your
faith
,
try
it
by
your
living
,
looke
upon
the
fruits
that
commeth
of
it

marke
the
increase
of
love

by
it
towards
God
and
your

and
so
shall
you
perceive
it
to
bee
a
true
lively
faith
.
If
you
feele
and
perceive
such
a
faith
in
you
,
rejoyce
in
it
:
and
bee
diligent
to
maintaine
it
,
and
keepe
it
still
in
you
,
let
it
bee
daily
increasing
,
and
more
&
more
by
well
working

&
so
shall
you
be
sure
that
you
shall
please
God
by
this
faith

In

of
Gods
Holy
word

hee
most
profiteth
not
alwayes
,
that
is
most
ready
in
turning
of
the
Booke
,
or
in
saying
of
it
without
the
Booke
;
but
he
that
is
most
turned
into
it
,
that
is
most
inspired
with
the
Holy
Ghost
,
most
in
his
heart
and
life
altered
and
changed
into
that
thing
which
he
readeth
:
He
that
is
daily
lesse
and
lesse
proud
,
lesse
wrathfull
,
lesse
covetous
,
and
lesse
desirous
of
worldly

hee
that
daily
(
forsaking
his
old
vicious
life
)
increaseth
in
vertue
more
and
more
.
If
some
man
will
say
,
I
would
have
a
true
patterne
and
a
perfect
description
of
an
upright
life

approved
in
the
sight
of
God
:
can
wee
finde
(

any
better
or
any
such
againe
,
as
Christ
Iesus
is
,
and
his
Doctrine
?
Whose
vertuous
conversation
and
godly
life
,
the
Scripture
so
lively
painteth
and
setteth
forth
before
our
eyes
,
that
we

might
shape

frame
our

,
as
nigh

may
be

wee
must
labour

that
wee
doe
never

apprehended

the
Ladder
of
Salvation
Stephens
day
Grant
us
,
O
Lord
to
learne
to
love
your
enemies
,
by
the
example
of
thy
Martyr
Saint
who
prayed
for
his
persecuters
Truth
it
is
,
that
sin
is
strong
,
and
affections
are
unruly
.
Hard
it
is
to
subdue
and
resist
our
nature
,
so
corrupt
and
leavened
with
the
sower
bitternesse
of
the
poyson
,
which
wee
received
by
the
inheritance
of
our
old
father
But
yet
take
good
courage
,
saith
our
Saviour
Christ
,
for
I
have
overcome
the
world
,
and
all
other
enemies
for
you
Sinne
shall
not
have
power
over
you
,
for
ye
be
now
under
grace
,
saith
Saint
Though
your
power
be
weake
,
yet
Christ
is
risen
againe
to
strengthen
you
in
your
battaile
,
his
holy
Spirit
shall
helpe
your
infirmities
.
In
trust
of
his
mercy
,
take
you
in
hand
to
purge
this
old
leaven
of
sinne
,
that
crrupteth
and
sowreth
the
sweetnesse
of
our
life
before
God
,
that
yee
may
bee
as
new
and
fresh
Dow
,
voide
of
all
sower
leaven
of
wickednesse
,
so
shall
ye
shew
your selves
to
be
sweet
bread
unto
God
,
that
hee
may
have
his
delight
in
you
.
By
the
assistance
of
Christs
holy
Spirit
,
we
be
replenished
with
all
righteousnesse
,
by
whose
power
we
shall
be
able
to
subdue
all
our
evill
affections
,
rising
against
the
pleasure
of
God
.
My
good
Child
know
this
,
that
thou
art
not
able
to
doe
these
things
of
thy selfe
,
nor
to
walke
in
the
Commandements
of
God
,
and
to
serve
him
,
without
his
speciall
grace
,
which
thou
must
learne
at
all
times
to
call
for
by
diligent
prayer
.
That
it
will
please
him
to
save
and
defend
us
in
all
dangers
ghostly
and
bodily
,
and
that
he
will
keepe
us
from
all
sinne
and
wickednesse
,
and
from
our
ghostly
enemy
,
and
from
everlasting
death
.
THe

of

So

said
unto
the
wilfull
disobedient
Ye
are
of
your
father
the
Devill
,
and
the
lusts
of
your
father
ye
will
doe
:
He
was
a
murtherer
from
the
beginning
,
and
abode
not
in
the
truth
,
because
there
is
no
truth
in
him
.
When
he
speaketh
a
lye
,
he
speaketh
of
his
owne
:
for
he
is
a
lyar
,
and
the
father
of
it
.
Christ
knowing
the
Devils
great
power
in
the
world
,
called
him
the
Prince
of
the
world
.
Saint
called
him
the
God
of
this
world
.
And
unto
the
hee
saith
of
him
,
that
hee
is
the
Prince
of
the
power
of
the
ayre
,
the
spirit
that
now
worketh
in
the
children
of
disobedience
.
And
speaking
of
the
Hell-spirits
he
calleth
them
principalities
,
powers
,
rulers
of
the
darkenesse
of
this
world
,
the
wicked
spirits
in
heavenly
places
namely
in
the
spirits
and
soules
of
men
and
women
,
where
the
Spirit
of
God
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
should
onely
live
,
walke
,
dwell
,
rule
and
raigne
.
signifieth
,
that
people
,
till
they
bee
penitent
for
their
sinfull
life
,
and
doe
bring
forth
fruits
meet
for
repentance
,
are
in
the
snare
of
the
Devill
,
taken
captive
of
him
at
his
will
.
Saint
foretold
how
that
Satan
should
bee
bound
a
thousand
yeares
:
and
after
that
he
must
bee
loosed
a
little
season
,
when
the
thousand
yeares
were
expired
,
Satan
should
be
loosed
out
of
prison
;
and
should
goe
out
to
deceive
the
Nations
,
which
are
in
the
foure
quarters
of
the
earth
,
Gog
and
Magog
,
to
gather
them
together
to
battell
,
the
number
of
whom
is
as
the
sand
of
the
sea
:
And
that
they
would
goe
up
on
the
breadth
of
the
earth
,
and
compasse
the
campe
of
the
Saints
about
,
and
the
beloved
City
;
but
fire
should
come
downe
from
God
out
of
heaven
,
and
devoure
them
.
Saint
likewise
foreknowing
how
that
in
the
time
when
Satan
was
let
loose
out
of
the
prison
,
wherein
hee
had
beene
bound
a
thousand
yeeres
,
iniquity
would
abound
,
and
the
love
of
many
would
waxe
cold
,
foretelleth
what
sinnes
would
raigne
then
,
yea
in
the
professours
of
the
name
of
Christianity
,
saying
:
This
know
also
,
that
in
the
last
dayes
,
perillous
times
shall
come
.
For
men
will
be
lovers
of
their
owne
selves
,
covetous
,
boasters
,
proud
,
blasphemers
,
disobedient
to
parents
,
unthankfull
,
unholy
,
without
naturall
affection
,
truce-breakers
,
false
accusers
,
incontinent
,
fierce
despisers
of
those
that
are
good
,
traitors
,
heady
,
high-minded
,
lovers
of
pleasures
more
than
lovers
of
God
,
having
a
forme
of
godlinesse
,
but
denying
the
power
thereof
.
How
mighty
soever
the
Devill
is
,
and
that
he
is
like
a
roaring
Lyon
;
yet
if
the
obedient
people
of
God
doe
resist
him
,
Saint
saith
,
that
he
will
flee
from
them
.
Saint
saith
,
He
that
is
begotten
of
God
,
keepeth
himselfe
,
and
that
wicked
one
toucheth
him
not
.
Such
as
doe
draw
nigh
unto
God
,
cleansing
their
hands
,
and
purifying
their
hearts
,
submitting
themselves
unto
God
,
humbling
themselves
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
unto
such
God
draweth
nigh
,
he
giveth
grace
,
he
lifteth
them
up
into
heavenly
places
in
Christ
Iesus
the
obedient
child
of
God
,
witnessed
by
God
himselfe
,
to
be
a
perfect
and
upright
man
,
a
fearer
of
God
,
and
an
eschewer
of
evill
,
was
by
Gods
Almighty
power
and
wisdome
hedged
in
round
about
,
so
that
the
Devils
hand
could
not
reach
him
,
untill
for
a
time
and
with
limitation
there
was
permission
:
Wonderfull
is
the
providence
of
God
for
such
as
feare
him
,
and
have
a
religious
and
conscionable
respect
unto
all
his
Commandements
.
It
is
ever
remarkably
signified
in
the
prayer
towards
the
end
of
the
most
sacred
Letany
,
reckoneth
up
seventeene
deadly
sins
,
that
among
many
professours
of
the
name
of
Christianity
would
raigne
in
these
latter
times
.
And
holy
Church
according
to
the
delivery
of
godly
antiquity
,
in
the
third
part
of
the
Homily
against
disobedience
and
wilfull
rebellion
saith
We
are
taught
to
pray
in
the
sacred
Letany
:
IN
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
of
the
misery
of
man
,
it
is
said
In
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
of
falling
from
God
,
it
is
said
:
In
the
Homily
against
excesse
of
apparell
,
it
is
said
:
In
the
second
part
of
the
Homily
for
Whitsunday
,
it
is
said
:
afterward
it
is
said
saith
,
Behold
,
his
soule
which
is
lifted
up
,
is
not
upright
in
him
,
but
the
just
shall
live
by
his
faith
.
Whereby
the
Prophet
giveth
us
to
understand
,
that
faith
whereby
Gods
people
doe
live
,
is
a
property
quite
contrary
to
loftinesse
of
minde
.
Also
God
resisteth
the
proud
,
but
giveth
grace
to
the
lowly
:
as
the
Scripture
sundry
times
delivereth
,
to
the
end
we
should
take
serious
notice
of
it
.
From
Envie
,
hatred
,
and
malice
,
and
all
uncharitablenesse
,
good
Lord
deliver
us
.
As
peace
and
charity
make
us
the
blessed
children
of
Almighty
God
;
so
doth
hatred
and
Envie
make
us
the
cursed
children
of
the
Devill
.
IN
the
second
part
of
the
Homily
against
contention
,
it
is
said
:
And
so
along
in
most
divine
manner
we
are
there
counselled
:
And
afterward
it
is
there
signified
,
Almighty
God
by
saith
:
Bee
not
hasty
in
thy
spirit
to
bee
angry
:
for
anger
resteth
in
the
bosome
of
fooles
.
That
saying
of
the
Lord
Iesus
might
move
us
to
take
heed
how
we
be
angry
:
Whosoever
is
angry
with
his
brother
without
a
cause
,
shall
bee
in
danger
of
the
judgement
:
and
whosoever
shall
say
unto
his
brother
,
Racha
,
shall
be
in
danger
of
the
counsell
:
but
whosoever
shall
say
,
thou
foole
,
shall
be
in
danger
of
hell
sire
.
Likewise
that
saying
of
Saint
The
workes
of
the
flesh
are
these
,
Adultery
,
&c.
Wrath
,
strife
,
&c.
They
which
doe
such
things
shall
not
inherit
the
Kingdome
of
God
.
Saint
therefore
saith
:
Be
angry
and
sinne
not
:
Let
not
the
Sunne
goe
down
upon
your
wrath
:
neither
give
place
to
the
Devill
.
Great
is
the
power
which
the
Devill
hath
in
every
man
and
woman
,
which
easily
will
be
moved
unto
wrath
.
That
some
seeke
excuses
to
withhold
themselves
,
from
the
favour
of
God
,
and
chuse
with
pinching
covetousnesse
,
rather
to
leane
unto
the
Devill
,
than
by
charitable
mercifulnesse
,
either
to
come
unto
Christ
,
or
to
suffer
Christ
to
come
unto
them
.
let
no
resort
to
this
table
,
let
no
covetous
person
approach
.
Receive
our
prayers
and
supplications
,
which
wee
offer
before
thee
for
all
estates
of
men
in
thy
holy
Congregation
,
that
every
member
of
the
same
in
his
vocation
and
ministery
,
may
truely
and
godly
serve
thee
.
Let
young
men
consider
the
pretious
value
of
their
time
,
and
waste
it
not
in
idlenesse
,
in
jollity
,
in
gaming
,
in
banquetting
,
in
ruffians
company
.
Youth
is
but
vanity
,
and
must
be
accounted
for
before
God
.
How
merry
and
glad
soever
thou
be
in
thy
youth
,
O
young
man
(
saith
the
Preacher
)
how
glad
soever
thy
heart
be
in
thy
young
dayes
,
how
fast
and
freely
soever
thou
follow
the
wayes
of
thine
own
heart
,
and
the
lust
of
thine
owne
eyes
,
yet
be
thou
sure
that
God
shall
bring
thee
unto
judgement
for
all
these
things
that
God
is
carefull
to
feed
them
,
who
in
any
state
or
vocation
doe
unfeinedly
serve
him
.
By
the
ordinance
of
God
,
which
hee
hath
set
in
the
nature
of
man
,
every
one
ought
,
in
his
lawfull
vocation
and
calling
,
to
give
himselfe
unto
labour
.
It
is
the
appointment
and
will
of
God
,
that
every
man
,
during
the
time
of
this
mortall
and
transitory
life
,
should
give
himself
to
such
honest
and
godly
exercise
and
labour
,
and
every
one
follow
his
owne
businesse
,
and
to
walke
uprightly
in
his
owne
calling
.
Man
is
borne
to
labour
.
And
we
are
commanded
by
Iesus
not
to
hate
painefull
workes
,
neither
husbandry

5.21
Sch●ndelerus
in
Lexico
Pentaglotto
Matrimony
was
ordained
for
a
remedy
against
sinne
,
and
to
avoid
fornication
,
that
such
persons
that
have
not
the
gift
of
continency
,
might
marry
,
and
keepe
themselves
undefiled
members
of
Christs
body
Although
we
want
not
(
good
Christian
people
)
great
swarmes
of
vices
worthy
to
be
rebuked
,
unto
such
decay
is
true
godlinesse
and
vertuous
living
now
come
:
yet
above
other
vices
,
the
outragious
seas
of
adultery
,
(
or
breaking
of
Wedlocke
)
whoredome
,
fornication
and
uncleannesse
,
have
not
onely
burst
in
,
but
also
overflowed
almost
the
whole
world
,
unto
the
great
dishonour
of
God
,
the
exceeding
infamie
of
the
name
of
Christ
,
the
notable
decay
of
true
religion
,
and
the
utter
destruction
of
the
publike
wealth
,
and
that
so
abundantly
that
through
the
accustomable
use
thereof
,
this
vice
is
growne
into
such
a
height
,
that
in
a
manner
among
many
it
is
counted
no
sinne
at
all
,
but
rather
a
pastime
,
a
dalliance
,
and
but
a
touch
of
youth
:
not
rebuked
,
but
winked
at
:
not
punished
,
but
laughed
at
.
He
that
is
ready
to
speak
evill
against
other
men
,
first
let
him
examine
himselfe
,
whether
hee
be
faultlesse
and
cleare
of
the
fault
which
he
findeth
in
another
.
For
it
is
a
shame
when
hee
that
blameth
another
for
any
fault
,
is
guilty
himselfe
,
either
in
the
same
fault
,
or
in
a
greater
.
It
is
a
shame
for
him
that
is
blinde
,
to
call
another
man
blind
;
and
it
is
more
shame
for
him
that
is
whole
blinde
,
to
call
him
blinkard
,
that
is
but
purblinde
.
For
this
is
to
see
a
straw
in
another
mans
eye
,
when
a
man
hath
a
blocke
in
his
owne
eye
.
O
wretched
creatures
that
we
be
at
these
dayes
,
who
be
without
reconciliation
of
our
brethren
whom
wee
have
offended
,
&c.
Without
any
conscience
of
slander
,
disdaine
,
misreport
,
division
,
rancor
,
or
inward
bitternesse

God

the
God

therefore
forbiddeth
all

Saint
saith

God
is
the
revenger
of
all
wrong
and
injustice
,
as
we
see
by
daily
experience
:
how
ever
it
thriveth
ungratiously
,
which
is
gotten
by
falshood

From

Consider
that
all
thy
doings
stinke
before
the

,
if
thou
bee
not

Let
us
take
unto
us
simplicity
,
chastity
,
and

submitting
our

to
the
sweet
yoke
of
Christ

From
contempt
of

good
Lord
deliver
us

may
not

owne
hearts
,
goe
backward
and
not
forward
as
it
is
said
in
they
goe
and
turne
away
from
God
.
God
requireth
a
sincere
and
pure
love
of
godlinesse
,
and
of
the
true
worshipping
and
service
of
God
,
that
is
to
say
,
that
forsaking
all
manner
of
things
that
are
repugnant
pugnant
and
contrary
unto
Gods
will
,
wee
doe
give
our
hearts
unto
him
,
and
the
whole
strength
of
our
bodies
and
soules
,
according
to
that
which
is
written
in

Thou
shalt

the

thy
God
,
with
all
thy
heart
,
with
all
thy

and
with
all
thy

Here
therefore
nothing
is
left
unto
us
,
that
we
may
give
unto
the
world
,
and
unto
the
lusts
of
the
flesh
.
For
sith
that
the
heart
is
the
fountaine
of
all
our
workes
,
as
many
as
doe
with
whole
heart
turne

the
Lord
;
doe
live
unto
him
onely
.
Neither
doe
they
yet
repent
truely
,
that
halting
on
both
sides
,
doe
otherwhiles
obey
God
,

by

doe
thinke

that
laying

lawfull

Wherefore
(

let
us
beware
of
such
hypocrisie

vaine

To

Let

hearken

the
voyce

when

calleth
us
to

,
let
us
not
harden
our

as
such
Infidels
doe
,
who
abuse
the
time
given
them
of
God
to
repent
;
and
turne
it
to
continue
their
pride

contempt

know
not
how
much
they
heape
Gods
wrath
upon

for
the
hardnesse

cannot
repent
at

day
of

IN

And

Come
unto
me
all
ye
that
labour
,
and
are
heavy
laden
(
with
the
burden
of
your
sinnes
and
with
griefe
for
them
)
and
I
will
give
you
rest
.
Take
my
yoke
upon
you
,
and
learne
of
me
,
for
I
am
meeke
and
lowly
in

,
and
ye
shall
finde
rest
unto
your

But
as
Saint
The
Lord
Iesus
shall
bee
revealed
from
heaven
,
with
his
mighty
Angels
,
in
flaming
fire
,
taking
vengeance
on
them
that
know
not
God
,
and
that
obey
not
the
Gospell
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
:
who
shall
be
the
Gospell
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
:
who
shall
be
punished
with
everlasting
destruction
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
from
the
glory
of
his
power
,
&c.
From
all
Sedition
and
privie
conspiracie
,
good
Lord
deliver
us
No
man
can
love
sinne
,
which
God
hateth
so
much
,
and
be
in
his
favour
.
No
man
can
say
,
that
hee
loveth
Christ
truly
,
and
have
his
great
enemy
(
sinne
I
meane
,
aut
hour
of
his
death
)
familiar
and
in
friendship
with
him
.
So
much
doe
we
love
God
and
Christ
,
as
wee
hate
sinne
.
Wee
ought
therfore
to
take
great
heed
,
that
wee
be
not
favourers
thereof
,
lest
wee
be
found
enemies
to
God
,
and
traitours
to
Christ
.
We
can
no
otherwise
live
to
God
,
but
by
dying
to
sin
.
If
Christ
bee
in
us
,
then
is
sinne
dead
in
us
:
and
if
the
spirit
of
God
be
in
us
,
which
raised
Christ
from
death
to
life
,
so
shall
the
same
spirit
raise
us
to
the
Resurrection
of
everlasting
life
.
But
if
sinne
rule
and
raigne
in
us
,
then
is
God
,
which
is
the
fountaine
of
all
grace
and
vertue
,
departed
from
us
:
then
hath
the
Devill
,
and
his
vngratious
spirit
rule
and
dominion
in
us
.
And
surely
if
in
such
miserable
state
wee
dye
,
we
shall
not
rise
to
life
,
but
fall
downe
to
death
and
damnation
,
and
that
without
end
.
David
But
of
the
finall
falling
away
from
Christ
&
his
Gospell
,
which
is
a
sinne
against
the
Holy
Ghost
,
that
shall
never
bee
forgiven
,
because
that
they
doe
utterly
forsake
the
knowne
truth
,
doe
hate
Christ
and
his
word
,
they
doe
crucifie
and
mocke
him
(
but
to
their
utter
destruction
)
and
therefore
fall
into
desperation
,
and
cannot
repent
.
The
third
sort
the
Prophet
calls
scorners
,
that
is
,
a
sort
of
men
whose
hearts
are
so
stuffed
with
malice
,
that
they
are
not
contented
to
dwell
in
sinne
,
and
to
lead
their
lives
in
all
kind
of
wickednesse
:
but
also
they
doe
contemne
and
scorne
in
other
all
godlinesse
,
true
religion
,
all
honesty
and
vertue
.
Of
this
sort
,
I
thinke
I
may
without
danger
of
Gods
judgement
pronounce
,
that
never
any
yet
converted
unto
God
by
repentance
,
but
continued
still
in
their
abominable
wickednesse
,
heaping
up
to
themselves
damnation
,
against
the
day
of
Gods
inevitable
judgements
.
IN
the
first
part
of
the
Homily
of
falling
from

In

of

unto
life
eternall
:
but
when
they
are
in
feare
of
dying
(
their
conscience
then
being
awaked
and
accusing
them
,
and
telling
them
they
must
appeare
before
Christs
judgment
seat
to
receive
everlasting
judgement
according
as
they
have
beleeved
and
lived
)
they
will
acknowledge
some
use
of
the
ministery
,
and
of
the
Church-Prayers
to
be
used
in
the
Visitation
of
the
sicke
.
It
it
is
become
and
old
Proverbe
with
very
many
,
namely
,
that
if
they
can
afore
they
dye
,
have
but
time
to
aske
God
mercy
,
they
shall
doe
as
well
as
the
best
of
them
(
who
have
served
God
in
holines
&
righteousnes
before
him
even
all
the
daies
of
their
life
.
)
But
how
greatly
such
desperate
and
dissolute
persons
doe
mistake
the
proceeding
of
Almighty
God
,
they
may
see
if
they
will
beleeve
what
is
written
in
the
first
chapter
of
the
from
the
20.
verse
unto
that
chapters
end
.
Also
they
may
perceive
that
they
are
in
a
damnable
errour
,
if
they
wil
observe
what
is
delivered
in
that
most
Divine
Whose
beginning
is
Exhortation
in
the
Service
of
Commination
.
Saint
saith
,
Be
not
deceived
,
God
is
not
mocked
:
for
whatsoever
a
man
soweth
,
that
shall
he
reape
.
For
he
that
soweth
to
his
flesh
,
shall
of
the
flesh
reape
corruption
:
but
he
that
soweth
to
the
spirit
,
shall
of
the
spirit
reape
life
everlasting
.
And
againe
he
saith
,
We
then
as
workers
together
with
God
,
beseech
you
also
,
that
yee
receive
not
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
.
For
he
saith
,
I
have
heard
thee
in
a
time
accepted
,
and
in
the
day
of
salvation
have
I
succoured
thee
:
behold
,
now
is
the
accepted
time
;
behold
,
now
is
the
day
of
salvation
.
Whiles
it
is
said
to
day
if
yee
will
heare
his
voyce
,
harden
not
your
hearts
,
as
in
the
provocation
.
If
we
would
with
diligence
resort
to
the
house
of
the
Lord
together
,
to
serve
the
Lord
with
one
accord
and
consent
,
in
all
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
before
him
,
wee
have
promises
of
benefits
both
heavenly
and
worldly
.
Wheresoever
two
or
three
be
gathered
in
my
name
(
saith
our
Saviour
Christ
)
there
am
I
in
the
middest
of
them
.
And
what
can
bee
more
blessed
▪
than
to
have
our
Saviour
Christ
among
us
Godwhich
heard
and
the
and
spared
them
,
will
also
heare
our
prayers
,
and
spare
us
,
so
that
we
after
their
example
,
will
unfainedly
turne
unto
him
:
yea
,
he
will
blesse
us
with
his
heavenly
benedictions
the
time
that
we
have
to
tary
in
this
world
,
and
after
the
race
of
this
mortall
life
,
he
will
bring
us
to
his
heavenly
Kingdome
Our
Saviour
Christ
departing
out
of
the
world
unto
his
Father
,
promised
his
disciples
to
send
downe
another
Comforter
,
that
should
continue
with
them
for
ever
,
and
direct
them
into
all
truth
The
grace
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
and
the
love
of
God
,
and
the
fellowship
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
be
with
us
all
evermore
:
That
untill
the
generall
resurrection
in
the
last
day
,
whiles
wee
now
are
in
this
world
,
Gods
holy
spirit
may
be
had
within
our
hearts
,
as
a
seale
and
pledge
of
our
everlasting
inheritance
Thou
hast
received
Christs
body
,
to
have
within
thee
,
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
for
to
dwell
with
thee
,
for
to
endow
thee
with
grace
,
to
strength
thee
against
thine
enemies
,
and
to
comfort
thee
with
their
presence
.
Christ
now
entred
within
us
,
how
dare
we
be
so
bold
to
renounce
the
presence
of
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
?
(
for
where
one
is
,
there
is
God
all
whole
in
Majesty
,
together
with
all
his
power
,
wisdome
,
and
goodnesse
)
and
feare
not
I
say
the
danger
and
perill
of
so
traiterous
a
defiance
and
departure
?
God
give
us
all
grace
to
follow
Christs
examples
in
peace
&
in
charity
,
in
patience
and
sufferance
,
that
wee
now
may
have
him
our
ghest
to
enter
and
dwell
within
us
,
so
as
we
may
be
in
full
surety
,
having
such
a
pledge
of
our
salvation
.
If
with
a
true
penitent
heart
,
and
lively
faith
wee
receive
that
holy
Sacrament
,
then
we
spiritually
eate
the
flesh
of
Christ
,
and
drink
his
blood
,
then
we
dwell
in
Christ
and
Christ
in
us
;
we
be
one
with
Christ
,
and
Christ
with
us
.
Apply
your selves
(
good
friends
)
to
live
in
Christ
,
that
Christ
may
still
live
in
you
,
whose
favour
and
assistance
if
ye
have
,
then
have
you
everlasting
life
already
within
you
,
then
can
nothing
hurt
you
.
Whatsoever
is
hitherto
done
and
committed
,
Christ
ye
see
hath
offered
you
pardon
,
and
clearly
received
you
to
his
favour
againe
,
in
full
surety
whereof
,
yee
have
him
now
inhabiting
and
dwelling
within
you
The
Holy
Ghost
doth
not
thinke
it
sufficient
inwardly
to
work
the
spirituall
and
new
birth
of
man
,
unlesse
he
doe
also
dwell
and
abide
in
him
That
a
true
Christian
is
the
very
member
of
Christ
,
the
Temple
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
the
Sonne
of
God
,
and
the
very
inheritour
of
the
everlasting
Kingdome
of
Heaven
.
That
the
world
from
the
beginning
untill
Christs
time
,
was
ever
ready
to
fall
from
the
Commandements
of
God
,
and
to
seeke
other
meanes
to
honour
and
serve
him
,
after
a
devotion
found
out
of
their
owne
heads
:
and
how
they
did
set
up
their
owne
traditions
,
as
high
or
above
Gods
Commandements
;
which
hath
happened
also
in
our
times
(
the
more
it
is
to
be
lamented
)
no
lesse
than
it
did
among
the
Iewes
,
and
that
by
the
corruption
,
or
at
least
by
the
negligence
of
them
that
chiefly
ought
to
have
preserved
the
pure
and
heavenly
doctrine
left
by
Christ
.
What
man
having
any
judgement
or
learning
,
joyned
with
a
true
zeale
unto
God
,
doth
not
see
,
and
lament
,
to
have
entred
into
Christs
Religion
,
such
false
doctrine
,
superstition
,
idolatry
,
hypocrisie
,
and
other
enormities
and
abuses
,
so
as
by
little
and
little
,
through
the
sowre
leaven
thereof
,
the
sweet
bread
of
Gods
holy
Word
hath
been
much
hindred
and
layed
apart
?
the
book
of
common
Prayer
,
the
book
of
Homilies
,
and
the
booke
of
ordering
of
Bishops
,
Priests
,
and
Deacons
,
Constitutions
&
Canons
Ecclesiasticall
God
and
the
King
So
farre
was
it
from
the
purpose
of
the
Church
of
to
forsake
and
reject
the
Churches
of
or
any
such
like
Churches
in
all
things
which
they
held
and
practised
,
that
,
as
the
Apologie
of
the
Church
of
confesseth
,
it
doth
with
reverence
retaine
those
Ceremonies
,
which
doe
neither
endamage
the
Church
of
God
,
nor
offend
the
mindes
of
sober
men
:
and
onely
departed
from
them
in
those
particular
points
,
wherein
they
were
fallen
both
from
themselves
in
their
ancient
integrity
,
and
from
the
Apostolicall
Churches
which
were
their
first
Founders
.
