Make
no
tarrying
to
turne
vnto
the
Lorde

and
put
not
off
from

for
suddenlie
shall
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
breake
foorth
,
and
in
thy
securitie
shalt
thou
be
destroyed
;
and
thou
shalt
perish
in
the
time
of
vengeance
.

the

Maurice

Duke
of

,
Elector

Landgraue

his

Iohn
Riuius
,
wisheth
S.
AMong
all
euils
,
well-nigh
infinite
,
which
,
to
the
astonishment
of
euerie
man
,
haue
taken
strength
this
daie
in
the
world
,
the
securitie
of
men
,
in
delaying
the
amendment
of
their
sinfull
life
,
is
not
the
least
;
which
when
I
remember
,
and
call
into
minde
,
which
often
I
doo
,
I
am
not
a
little
amazed
.
And
surelie
forsomuch
as
the
life
of
man
(
as
holie
Iob
dooth
witnes
,
and
experience
dooth
confirme
)
is
but
verie
short
;
and
a
Christian
should
euermore
consider
that
presentlie
he
either
must
or
maie
die
,
(
for
our
Sauiour
willeth
vs
to
watch
continuallie
,
to
be
readie
against
death
,
)
the
foolishnes
of
men
in
prolonging
repentaunce
from
daie
to
daie
,
maie
well
make
all
men
to
wonder
;
vnlesse
they
be
of
the
sect
of
Epicures
,
supposing
the
soule
to
die
with
the
bodie
,
and
after
death
no
parte
of
man
to
remaine
.
For
otherwise
,
he
which
hath
anie
care
of
his
owne
saluation
,
and
beleeueth
there
be
after
death
both
rewardes
for
the
godlie
,
and
punishments
for
sinners
,
cannot
chuse
but
,
not
onlie
for
his
owne
part
continuallie
thinke
of
repenting
,
while
sinnes
maie
be
forgiuen
:
but
also
in
respect
of
others
,
maruelouslie
muze
at
their
follie
,
which
neglect
a
thing
so
profitable
,
and
so
necessarie
;
and
the
more
a
great
deale
,
for
that
no
man
liuing
is
sure
he
shall
liue
,
I
saie
not
vntil
night
,
but
an
houre
more
,
no
not
a
minute
or
moment
of
time
.
But
to
saie
nothing
of
the
yonger
and
lustier
sort
,
who
thinke
they
maie
haue
whatsoeuer
they
hope
for
,
though
fondlie
,
and
foolishlie
they
doo
so
:
what
doo
doting
and
bald
men
in
their
old
age
,
when
they
should
spend
the
time
which
they
haue
to
liue
in
none
other
cogitations
,
and
workes
,
but
such
as
pertaine
vnto
the
attainement
of
saluation
?
Surelie
they
thinke
as
little
of
death
as
yong
men
doo
:
and
so
deferre
the
amendment
of
their
life
,
and
neuer
thinke
while
time
is
to
repent
,
as
though
they
could
promise
manie
yeeres
moe
to
themselues
;
which
thing
notwithstanding
they
should
rather
wish
,
than
hope
for
.
Yea
,
which
is
more
wonderfull
,
and
showeth
more
plainelie
the
dotage
of
old
men
,
they
blush
not
at
foure
score
yeeres
of
age
,
to
marrie
wenches
vnder
sixteene
yeeres
.
What
more
?
I
am
ashamed
,
it
greeueth
me
to
saie
it
,
so
I
maie
liue
,
and
so
I
maie
haue
Christ
mercifull
vnto
me
.
Then
what
?
wantonlie
,
delicatelie
,
riotouslie
they
spend
the
time
,
they
loue
,
they
make
good
cheere
,
they
plaie
the
whore-masters
,
they
are
sweete
in
ointments
,
they
take
their
pleasure
;
and
as
an
old
man
in
the
Poet
saith
:
Because
my
daies
be
short
,
which
I
haue
heare
to
liue
;
To
women
,
wine
,
and
pleasant
sport
,
my selfe
I
minde
to
giue
.
The
same
doo
our
old
men
in
words
commonlie
,
in
deedes
openlie
saie
,
and
confirme
by
their
life
.
Neither
doo
they
,
which
commit
these
hainous
offences
,
euen
with
hoare
heads
(
for
whie
should
I
be
afraide
to
speake
it
)
make
anie
great
accoumpt
with
themselues
,
or
care
of
reforming
their
manners
;
but
are
Christians
in
name
onlie
,
but
in
deede
and
life
nothing
so
.
To
come
to
the
crooked
old
women
,
which
haue
had
manie
husbands
,
what
doo
they
?
Surelie
euen
they
too
,
when
they
are
most
old
,
and
full
of
wrinckles
,
make
death
a
banquet
(
as
the
Poet
saith
,
)
that
is
,
they
be
not
afraide
to
marrie
yet
againe
:
whereas
in
deede
,
if
they
were
touched
with
anie
care
of
their
saluation
,
they
should
do
better
,
if
with
Anna
the
Prophetisse
,
of
whom
Luke
.
2
,
36
,
37.
maketh
mention
,
they
neuer
went
out
of
the
temple
,
but
serued
God
with
fasting
and
praiers
night
and
daie
.
I
speake
not
of
the
yonger
women
,
for
whom
,
according
to
the
sentence
of
Paule
,
1.
Tim.
5
,
14.
1.
Cor.

,

,

it
is
better
that
they
marrie
then
to
burne
:
but
of
old
,
and
aged
women
,
who
in
respect
of
their
yeeres
can
beare
no
children
.
For
they
,
after
the
manner
of
doting
old
men
(
of
whom
I
haue
spoken
)
bid
honestie
fare-well
,
and
care
little
what
becommeth
them
.
Such
a
mischeef
is
in
example
.
They
alledge
for
them-selues
solitarines
and
pouertie
▪
and
other
(
as
they
thinke
)
iust
causes
at
those
yeeres
and
likelie
:
but
pretend
they
what
they
will
,
yet
shall
they
neuer
prooue
their
intemperancie
good
either
before
God
,
or
men
,
howsoeuer
they
cloake
and
couer
the
same
.
We
dallie
too
much
with
our selues
,
we
doo
yeelde
too
too
much
to
our
weakenes
,
or
lust
rather
;
we
suffer
our selues
ouer
easelie
to
be
snarled
by
the
allurements
of
the
flesh
;
we
cast
not
awaie
the
tendernes
of
our
minde
,
we
resist
not
the
snares
,
and
ingines
of
Satan
by
continuall
praier
;
we
tame
not
our
bodie
with
abstinence
,
and
fasting
.
Hence
come
the
teares
,
as
it
is
saide
;
and
this
maketh
such
old
marriages
,
in
those
yeeres
which
call
for
a
new
life
,
and
a
new
conuersation
.
For
it
were
time
then
,
not
to
thinke
of
the
short
time
,
which
is
to
be
spent
,
but
of
the
life
to
come
which
alwaie
shall
indure
.
When
thinke
you
they
will
begin
to
amend
,
and
haue
regard
of
their
saluation
?
When
will
they
repent
?
When
will
they
prepare
themselues
vnto
death
,
which
marrie
euen
when
they
are
going
to
the
graue
?
Either
I
am
deceaued
,
or
this
is
not
the
waie
vnto
heauen
,
as
the
Tragicall
Poet
dooth
saie
.
Alack
,
alack
,
whether
is
the
godlines
of
Christians
gone
?
Howe
fewe
are
they
,
if
there
be
anie
at
all
,
which
call
into
minde
the
shortnes
,
and
vncertaintie
of
this
life
;
death
alwaies
at
hand
;
the
iudgement
seate
of
Christ
;
the
last
iudgement
;
euerlasting
felicitie
in
the
heauens
;
the
torments
and
cursed
state
of
hell
?
Neither
the
regarde
of
the
kingdome
of
God
,
and
of
an
happie
life
dooth
stir
vp
vnto
godlines
;
nor
the
feare
of
hell
,
and
euerlasting
destruction
either
reclame
from
offending
,
or
terrefie
from
sinne
.
Neither
doo
moste
men
giue
credit
to
the
woord
of
God
,
and
religion
;
or
if
they
beleeue
it
,
through
a
vaine
hope
of
Gods
pardon
toward
the
obstinate
,
and
such
as
perseuere
in
sinne
;
they
moste
foolishlie
doo
flatter
themselues
:
neither
doo
they
endeuor
by
little
and
little
to
caste
off
wicked
custome
,
which
in
manner
is
turned
into
another
nature
.
Slothfulnes
and
securitie
hath
inuaded
them
,
being
drunke
as
it
were
with
prosperitie
;
they
are
lead
awaie
and
fed
with
a
false
and
foolish
hope
of
longer
life
.
Manie
also
through
confidence
which
they
put
in
the
Popes
pardons
;
in
the
superstitious
woorship
of
S.
Barbara
;
and
in
a
Friers
cowle
,
thinke
nothing
at
all
of
amending
their
life
.
Furthermore
,
some
are
spilled
either
through
wicked
companie
,
and
too
much
familiaritie
with
vngodlie
persons
;
or
by
the
Sermons
of
vndiscreete
men
,
by
such
I
meane
,
as
preach
much
of
the
forgiuenes
of
sinne
for
Christ
his
sake
,
and
of
Christes
righteousnes
;
but
either
nothing
at
all
,
or
verie
little
at
all
of
dooing
and
following
the
will
of
God
;
and
of
the
sanctification
of
the
spirit
,
wherebie
we
be
renued
vnto
good
woorkes
.
To
be
shorte
:
No
man
contemning
earthlie
,
breatheth
and
sigheth
after
heauenlie
things
;
no
man
is
touched
with
the
anger
of
God
against
wickednes
;
no
man
blusheth
at
the
violating
of
Gods
commaundements
;
no
man
is
reclamed
either
from
filthines
through
shame
;
or
from
sinne
,
through
the
feare
of
God
.
So
that
euerie
mans
life
is
polluted
with
great
sinnes
,
and
wickednes
.
And
although
I
graunt
,
what
Seneca
in
a
certaine
place
writeth
,
that
Hereof
our
elders
haue
complained
,
hereof
doo
we
complaine
,
hereof
they
which
liue
after
vs
will
complaine
,
namelie
that
good
manners
be
ouerthrowen
,
wickednes
dooth
raigne
,
the
world
waxeth
worse
and
worse
,
and
falleth
into
all
vngodlines
:
though
I
graunt
this
,
I
saie
,
yet
I
dare
affirme
that
in
this
corrupt
,
and
wretched
age
of
ours
,
all
manner
vices
haue
so
encreased
,
that
hardlie
greater
wickednes
cannot
be
.
For
what
sinne
or
wickednes
at
this
daie
is
wanting
,
which
if
it
raigned
,
this
age
might
be
saide
to
be
the
more
vngodlie
for
that
respect
?
When
as
in
deede
we
can
neither
patientlie
abide
to
heare
our
sinnes
laide
afore
vs
;
nor
quietlie
suffer
to
be
reprehended
:
or
if
anie
can
,
it
is
as
much
as
if
a
tale
were
told
to
a
deafe
man
(
as
the
saying
is
)
.
For
no
man
amendeth
his
life
or
manners
;
no
man
reformeth
his
wickednes
by
contrarie
vertues
;
no
man
healeth
his
sinnes
past
,
no
not
with
the
least
good
woorkes
.
I
am
greatlie
afraide
least
in
that
daie
of
the
great
iudgement
,
our
outragious
wickednes
;
our
lust
,
couetousnes
,
dishonestie
,
pride
,
riotousnes
wil
be
condemned
by
the
egregious
and
most
excellent
vertues
of
Heathen
men
;
as
by
the
abstinence
of
Aristides
,
the
innocencie
of
Phocion
,
the
holines
of
Socrates
,
the
almes
deedes
of
Cimon
,
the
moderation
of
Camillus
,
the
honestie
,
iustice
,
and
faithfulnes
of
both
Catoes
;
and
who
can
recite
all
of
them
?
Yea
,
I
am
afraide
,
the
sobrietie
of
the
Turkes
,
will
condemne
our
gluttonie
,
and
dronkennes
.
Yea
,
and
Sodom
,
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
will
there
laie
before
our
face
our
extreame
wickednes
euen
in
this
new
light
of
the
Gospell
;
so
that
in
the
daie
of
iudgement
it
shal
be
easier
for
these
,
then
for
vs
:
as
our
Sauior
vpon
like
occasion
threatened
certaine
townes
,
as
Luke
recordeth
.
So
that
it
plainelie
appereth
,
how
farre
we
be
in
deede
from
right
Christians
,
though
we
desire
to
be
compted
so
.
For
in
vaine
taketh
he
the
name
of
a
Christian
to
him
,
that
dooth
not
leade
a
life
aunswerable
and
agreeable
to
Christian
profession
;
and
(
as
Paule
saith
)
worthie
of
God
.
Had
we
anie
wit
,
the
verie
name
of
a
Christian
would
make
vs
blush
,
and
be
ashamed
to
violate
the
commaundements
of
God
.
O
would
to
God
,
that
at
the
length
,
though
late
,
we
would
repent
,
and
turne
vnto
God
with
our
whole
hart
,
and
not
destroie
our selues
by
deferring
our
amendment
;
the
which
manie-times
God
punisheth
both
with
sudden
death
,
vnawares
,
and
also
with
euerlasting
destruction
:
that
in
deede
it
standeth
vs
vpon
to
haue
in
minde
continuallie
both
death
and
hell
,
and
the
tribunall
seate
of
Christ
;
and
to
thinke
that
the
eares
of
our
conscience
be
stroken
both
with
the
terrible
sounde
of
that
trumpe
,
summoning
vnto
the
last
iudgement
;
and
with
the
dredfull
voice
of
the
iudge
,
condemning
the
wicked
and
vngodlie
mates
vnto
the
fire
which
neuer
shal
be
quenched
.
Now
if
these
things
doo
nothing
mooue
the
obstinate
,
I
see
not
what
hope
at
all
is
left
:
and
whether
there
be
anie
he
dooth
know
,
who
knoweth
all
things
,
euen
God
alone
.
But
omit
we
vaine
,
and
vnprofitable
complaints
.
Therefore
(
to
returne
to
our
purpose
)
forsomuch
as
the
securitie
,
&
wickednes
of
men
in
prolonging
the
correction
of
their
sinfull
conuersation
,
is
so
great
:
I
haue
thought
good
,
to
seeke
,
out
according
to
my
poore
skill
,
some
remedie
for
that
matter
,
&
to
communicate
the
same
with
the
ruder
sorte
,
if
anie
whit
it
may
profit
others
.
For
at
the
first
I
wrote
the
same
for
my
priuate
vse
,
that
alwaie
I
might
haue
before
me
that
,
which
might
waken
me
,
as
it
were
out
of
the
sleepe
of
too
much
securitie
.
Happie
I
saie
much
happie
is
that
man
,
which
standeth
in
no
neede
of
such
a
remedie
against
the
old
man
;
nor
of
such
a
remembrance
to
cast-awaie
sloth
.
But
,
as
I
saide
,
the
song
which
I
sang
to
my selfe
,
I
haue
thought
good
to
impart
with
the
simpler
sorte
,
forsomuch
as
I
knowe
in
some
respect
it
maie
doo
good
;
least
with
Aspendius
the
Musicion
,
as
the
Prouerbe
is
,
I
sing
within
to
my selfe
.
For
my
desire
is
by
all
meanes
to
profit
others
.
Which
my
labor
I
haue
thought
good
to
dedicate
to
you
,
most
gratious
Prince
,
and
that
in
none
other
respect
,
but
to
leaue
a
publique
monument
of
our
obedience
toward
you
.
Accept

A
Preface
vnto
the
discourse
following
.
WOuld
they
,
which
desire
to
be
taken
for
Christians
,
so
much
abhorre
and
shun
the
manners
,
as
they
do
at
this
daie
,
detest
the
name
and
profession
of
Epicures
,
and
Sadduces
!
doubtles
they
would
as
zealously
not
onely
flie
from
all
euill
,
but
also
followe
vertue
,
as
now
they
obstinately
persist
in
sinne
,
and
liue
in
wickednes
;
yea
,
they
would
as
carefullie
obserue
the
lawes
of
the
most
righteous
and
almightie
God
,
as
they
liue
securelie
,
without
all
feare
of
his
Maiestie
.
But
in
verie
deede
,
our
life
,
deedes
,
and
conuersation
,
dooth
shewe
,
that
we
more
abhorre
,
and
feare
the
odious
name
of
a
wicked
Epicure
,
or
Sadduceie
,
than
we
doo
the
nature
.
For
what
?
Thinke
yee
,
they
beleeue
the
soule
is
immortall
,
who
liue
in
manner
as
Beastes
?
or
be
they
perswaded
,
there
be
either
rewardes
for
the
godlie
in
heauen
,
or
punishment
in
hell
appointed
for
sinners
,
who
in
euerie
thing
dread
not
to
violate
the
commaundements
of
God
;
and
run
altogether
headlong
into
sinne
,
euen
as
though
they
did
either
thinke
that
God
were
but
a
vaine
and
fained
thing
;
or
beleeue
that
when
the
bodie
dieth
,
the
soule
likewise
perisheth
,
and
commeth
vnto
nothing
?
Notwithstanding
,
be
it
,
that
some
,
who
God
knowes
are
verie
fewe
,
doo
bothe
feare
God
,
and
doubt
no
whit
that
in
time
to
come
he
will
either
punish
,
or
reward
euerie
man
according
to
his
desert
:
yet
what
is
he
whome
the
feare
of
Gods
iustice
dooth
reclame
from
sinne
,
or
bring
to
amendment
of
life
?
Wherein
we
haue
iust
occasion
offered
,
to
lament
and
bewaile
the
condition
of
vs
all
,
and
to
maruaile
at
our
foolishnes
,
blindnes
,
and
madnes
,
who
,
in
such
a
shortnes
and
vncertaintie
of
this
present
life
,
so
behaue
our selues
,
that
,
no
not
in
crooked
old
age
,
when
the
vttermoste
daie
of
our
life
cannot
be
farre
off
,
much
lesse
in
our
youth
,
while
we
are
lustie
,
doo
we
take
anie
care
of
reforming
our
manners
.
I
therefore
calling
this
follie
,
or
madnes
rather
of
men
,
in
deferring
the
amendment
of
life
,
into
minde
,
haue
thought
it
good
to
search
out
the
causes
,
whie
in
a
matter
of
such
importance
,
as
the
saluation
of
the
soule
is
,
we
are
so
rechlesse
,
and
secure
.
For
these
being
founde
and
brought
foorth
,
it
will
be
an
easie
thing
,
as
I
thinke
,
to
finde
a
remedie
for
this
euill
.

The
first
cause
why
man
dooth
not
repent
.
IN
my
iudgement
,
the
principall
and
cheefest
cause
hereof
,
is
our
incredulitie
.
For
did
wee
beleeue
those
things
which
are
written
in
the
sacred
Scripture
,
of
the
iudgement
to
come
;
of
the
voice
of
the
Archangel
,
and
Trumpe
of
God
;
of
the
tribunall
seate
of
Christ
,
before
which
all
the
sorte
of
vs
are
to
appeare
;
of
the
paines
of
the
reprobate
;
of
the
endles
condition
and
felicitie
of
the
righteous
;
of
the
resurrection
to
come
bothe
of
body
and
soule
,
to
an
assured
part
either
of
glorie
,
or
of
shame
;
did
we
beleeue
these
things
,
I
say
,
not
to
be
a
vaine
,
or
old
wiues
tale
,
sure
I
am
,
we
would
studie
to
leade
an
other
kind
of
life
,
and
not
diferre
the
amendment
of
our
life
,
so
as
we
doo
from
daie
to
daie
.
For
who
is
there
so
wicked
,
but
will
either
quake
in
bodie
,
or
shake
in
minde
and
harte
,
when
he
considereth
the
iudgement
to
come
?
At
which
iudgement
all
men
must
giue
an
accompt
before
the
tribunall
seate
of
Iesu
Christ
,
not
onelie
of
their
words
and
deedes
,
but
also
of
euerie
thought
and
cogitation
;
where
euery
man
as
I
may
say
,
shall
pleade
for
his
owne
life
.
O
horrible
iudgement
to
the
vngodlie
.
If
the
righteous
scarcelie
be
saued
,
where
shall
the
vngodlie
,
and
the
sinner
appeare
?
The
sonne
of
God
himselfe
shall
sitte
a
Iudge
vpon
all
mankinde
that
haue
beene
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
:
then
will
he
be
seuere
,
sharpe
,
not
intreated
,
which
now
is
an
aduocate
for
sinners
with
God
his
Father
.
All
men
shal
be
summoned
to
giue
an
accompt
of
their
life
spent
,
vea
,
the
hartes
of
all
shal
be
opened
;
euerie
mans
conscience
shall
accuse
,
reprooue
,
and
condemne
himselfe
.
Laste
of
all
,
God
seuerelie
,
yet
righteouslie
,
shall
punish
the
wicked
,
and
of
his
mercie
preserue
the
godlie
,
that
is
,
will
rewarde
euerie
man
according
to
his
workes
,
as
Paule
dooth
saie
.
Neither
at
this
iudgement
shall
wicked
deedes
onelie
be
iudged
,
as
adulterie
,
whoredome
,
incest
,
witchcrafte
,
murther
,
backbiting
,
thefte
,
robberie
,
sacriledge
,
quaffing
,
riotousnes
,
dronkennes
,
vsurie
,
and
such
other
sinnes
;
nor
euerie
idle
,
scurrilous
,
vaine
,
filthie
,
beastlie
,
light
,
fonde
,
foolish
,
rash
,
vnmodest
,
and
babling
worde
onlie
(
and
such
like
)
wherewithall
the
godly
eares
are
iustlie
offended
;
but
also
the
secret
will
,
vngodlie
wishinges
,
and
cogitations
,
with
the
wicked
affections
of
the
minde
,
striuing
against
the
lawe
of
God
,
as
anger
,
hatred
,
dissimulation
,
enmitie
,
spight
,
enuie
,
euil-wil
,
disdaine
,
couetousnes
,
desire
of
that
which
is
an
other
mans
,
and
such
like
.
Therefore
who
beleeueth
,
that
one
day
there
shal
be
a
iudgement
,
and
will
not
by
the
remembrance
thereof
either
be
reclaimed
,
if
he
haue
beene
wicked
;
or
detained
backe
,
if
he
be
inclined
to
fall
into
sinne
?
Well
saide
one
of
the
ancient
Doctors
,
Whether
I
eate
,
or
drinke
,
or
whatsoeuer
els
I
doo
,
me
thinkes
I
alwaies
heare
this
sounde
in
mine
eares
;
Arise
yee
dead
,
and
come
vnto
iudgement
.
As
often
as
I
call
into
minde
the
daie
of
iudgement
,
I
shake
againe
euen
at
the
verie
harte
,
and
all
my
bodie
ouer
;
and
so
foorth
.
If
the
flesh
then
prouoke
anie
man
,
whether
it
be
vnto
lecherie
,
and
vile
pleasure
,
or
vnto
gluttonie
,
and
surfetting
;
or
to
any
other
vices
and
wickednes
:
let
him
remember
the
day
of
the
last
iudgement
.
If
either
prosperitie
puffe
vp
the
minde
(
as
commonlie
it
dooth
;
)
or
wealth
make
hautie
,
and
cruell
;
or
honour
,
worship
,
or
auctoritie
engender
pride
in
any
man
;
let
him
foorthwith
remember
the
iudgement
of
Christ
:
If
either
anger
vnto
reuengement
,
or
enuie
vnto
disdaine
,
or
couetousnesse
vnto
couen
and
theft
,
or
the
world
vnto
ambition
,
pride
,
or
bely
,
cheere
,
or
the
Diuell
tempt
thee
vnto
blaspheming
the
name
of
God
,
and
to
other
sinnes
and
wicked
facts
;
thinke
straight
waie
of
the
voice
of
the
Archangel
:
beleeue
how
thou
must
pleade
thine
owne
cause
before
the
bench
of
Gods
iudgment
,
and
from
thy
verie
hart
,
do
thou
feare
the
heauy
sentence
of
that
Iudge
,
who
doubtles
will
condemne
the
wicked
vnto
euerlasting
fire
.
Would
to
God
,
oh
would
to
God
,
this
day
of
iudgement
were
at
no
time
forgotten
!
then
would
euerie
man
doo
his
dutie
.
Both
Magistrates
then
would
seeke
the
wealth
and
welfare
,
defend
the
libertie
,
and
maintaine
the
lawes
and
rightes
of
the
people
committed
to
their
charge
:
and
Subiects
then
would
giue
lawfull
obedience
to
their
Magistrates
,
and
at
no
time
either
repine
at
their
Gouernors
,
or
withhold
tribute
,
or
custome
;
but
willinglie
would
render
all
feare
and
due
honor
vnto
them
.
Both
Husbandes
then
would
loue
their
wiues
,
euen
as
themselues
:
And
also
wiues
would
feare
their
husbands
,
and
be
subiect
to
them
,
as
vnto
the
Lord
.
Then
would
Parents
bring
vp
their
children
in
instruction
,
and
information
of
the
Lord
,
as
the
Apostle
teacheth
:
and
children
in
the
Lord
would
obey
their
Parents
,
and
honor
them
with
all
humilitie
.
Seruaunts
then
would
be
obedient
vnto
them
which
are
their
Maisters
,
according
to
the
flesh
,
with
feare
and
trembling
,
in
singlenesse
of
their
harts
,
as
vnto
Christ
:
as
the
same
Paule
doth
admonish
:
and
Maisters
would
be
more
milde
and
gentle
toward
them
,
knowing
that
euen
their
Maister
also
is
in
heauen
.
Pastors
then
would
haue
that
care
of
the
Lords
flock
,
which
they
ought
to
haue
.
Rich
men
would
supplie
the
lacke
of
the
poore
.
Widowes
would
continue
in
supplications
and
praiers
night
and
daie
.
The
poore
would
patientlie
endure
pouertie
,
sithe
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
to
allot
the
same
vnto
them
.
He
which
hath
a
wife
would
so
deale
,
as
if
he
had
none
:
and
he
that
is
vnmaried
,
care
onelie
for
those
thinges
which
may
please
the
Lorde
.
To
be
shorte
;
There
is
no
man
but
would
doo
his
dutie
,
did
he
alwaies
remember
the
daie
of
the
laste
iudgement
,
at
which
time
God
will
aske
an
accompt
of
vs
of
our
whole
life
,
and
of
euerie
deede
,
which
we
haue
doone
,
and
so
appoint
either
punishment
,
or
reward
,
according
to
euerie
mans
desert
.
In
the
time
of
a
great
plague
,
All
men
acknowledge
,
that
the
houre
of
death
is
vncertaine
,
yet
is
it
moste
certaine
that
one
daie
we
shall
die
.
Nowe
what
foolishnes
is
it
,
to
feare
death
,
which
euerie
moment
hangeth
ouer
our
heads
;
and
in
the
meane
time
not
to
thinke
of
amendment
of
life
!
But
thus
it
is
.
In
aduersitie
,
as
in
the
time
of
the
plague
,
of
famine
,
of
warre
,
of
Earthquake
,
of
any
greeuous
and
dangerous
sicknes
of
the
body
,
we
can
acknowledge
the
iust
anger
,
&
displeasure
of
God
against
wickednes
:
but
when
things
flowe
foorth
according
to
our
harts
desire
,
we
blush
no
whit
to
abuse
his
goodnes
,
and
liberalitie
,
neither
doo
we
call
into
minde
,
neither
death
ready
to
take
vs
euery
howre
;
Nor
the
last
iudgement
,
nor
the
voice
of
the
Archangell
,
whereof
Paule
maketh
mention
writing
vnto
the
Thessalonians
:
Nor
the
Trumpet
of
God
:
nor
of
Hell
,
either
the
euerlasting
punishment
,
or
the
vnquencheable
fire
,
nor
finallie
that
vtter
darkenes
where
shal
be
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
.
The
memorie
wherof
,
should
be
fresh
in
our
minde
,
both
when
we
rise
from
our
beds
in
the
morning
,
and
when
we
go
vnto
bed
in
the
euening
;
both
when
we
dine
,
and
when
we
suppe
,
when
we
are
washed
for
health
sake
,
when
we
deale
in
matters
that
are
serious
:
yea
and
when
we
doo
recreate
our
minde
with
honest
sporte
.
But
these
things
,
to
wit
the
last
iudgement
;
the
Lords
tribunall
seate
,
the
voice
of
the
Archangell
,
the
Trumpet
of
God
,
the
euerlasting
torments
of
hell
,
these
,
(
I
saie
,
)
are
but
a
meere
fable
to
the
vngodlie
.
And
as
the
Ethnicks
in
old
time
esteemed
all
fained
whatsoeuer
the
Poets
mentioned
of
Tartarus
,
of
Phlegeton
;
of
the
Iudges
Minoes
and
Rhadamanthus
,
of
the
place
and
region
of
the
wicked
,
and
of
the
paines
of
the
vngodlie
(
whereof
sprang
that
of
Seneca
,
saieng
;
The
Poets
haue
battered
and
terrified
our
mindes
with
vaine
feares
:
So
verie
manie
count
all
toies
and
fables
,
yea
and
thinke
all
but
idle
threates
which
at
this
daie
we
reade
in
the
sacred
Scripture
concerning
Hell
;
euerlasting
death
;
Hell
fire
,
where
shal
be
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
;
and
touching
the
covniting
hereafter
of
the
soule
and
bodie
,
either
vnto
paine
or
glorie
.
Whereas
contrariwise
,
these
things
strike
a
maruelous
terror
without
doubt
into
the
godlie
,
and
such
as
feare
God
,
yea
being
but
named
,
as
the
Poet
saith
.
Thus
you
haue
the
firste
,
and
principall
cause
,
as
I
thinke
,
whie
we
so
deferre
the
amendment
of
our
life
,
as
we
doo
.
Cap.

The
second
cause
why
we
doo
not
repent
vs
of
our
wickednes
.
NOw
let
vs
goe
vnto
another
cause
,
which
is
to
wit
,
a
great
,
yet
a
false
,
and
vncertain
hope
of
pardon
at
Gods
hand
.
Through
this
hope
Satan
the
continuall
enimie
of
mankind
,
deteineth
man
in
wickednes
;
and
by
laieng
daily
before
his
eies
the
mercie
and
lenitie
of
God
,
forbiddeth
him
to
dread
his
iustice
.
But
as
God
mercifullie
dooth
pardon
the
penitent
;
and
like
a
father
forgiueth
such
as
returne
from
vice
vnto
wel-doing
:
so
doth
he
leaue
them
neither
vnpunished
,
nor
vnreuenged
,
who
obstinatelie
persist
in
wickednes
.
So
that
in
vaine
doo
they
hope
for
pardon
,
which
repent
not
from
the
harte
.
Notwithstanding
by
proposing
this
vaine
hope
,
the
diuell
dooth
so
bring
it
about
,
that
man
becommeth
secure
in
naughtines
,
and
neuer
taketh
anie
care
at
all
of
amending
his
life
,
but
vtterlie
despiseth
the
riches
of
Gods
bountifulnes
,
and
patience
,
and
long
sufferaunce
,
not
knowing
that
the
bountifulnes
of
Godle●
deth
him
vnto
repentance
,
to
vse
S.
Paule
his
wordes
vnto
〈◊〉
Romanes
.
Heere
that
would
be
remembred
,
which
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
as
it
is
recorded
by
Matthew
,
dooth
saie
;
Repent
(
your
former
euil
conuersation
)
for
the
kingdome
of
heauen
is
at
hand
:
so
would
that
also
which
the
Lord
in
Esaiah
speaketh
,
Christ
saith
moreouer
by
Luke
,
in
the
Actes
,
I
omit
sixe
hundred
places
of
Scripture
,
tending
to
prooue
,
that
no
man
should
haue
hope
,
or
trust
to
haue
their
sinnes
pardoned
,
but
he
which
repenteth
.
For
,
as
I
said
,
in
vaine
dooth
he
looke
for
pardon
,
who
doth
not
repent
from
his
hart
.
And
although
there
is
no
time
too
late
to
aske
forgiuenes
at
Gods
hande
,
as
plainelie
appeareth
by
the
example
of
that
Theefe
,
of
whom
the
Euangelists
make
mention
,
(
For
,
God
desireth
not
the
death
of
the
wicked
,
but
that
the
wicked
turne
from
his
waie
,
and
liue
)
:
yet
who
knoweth
not
,
how
dangerous
a
thing
it
is
to
prolong
amendment
of
life
from
day
vnto
day
?
For
as
the
Poet
saith
,
No
man
so
in
Gods
fauour
is
,
That
to
liue
an
other
daie
he
can
promis
.
Death
taketh
men
oftentimes
when
they
little
thinke
thereof
,
insomuch
that
they
haue
no
space
to
repent
,
and
amend
their
liues
.
Here
I
will
not
recite
what
Plinie
,
in
his
naturall
Historie
,
speaketh
of
suddaine
death
,
because
in
these
daies
nothing
is
more
common
.
Manie
yeares
are
not
passed
,
since
two
old
men
,
dwellers
in
one
towne
together
,
hauing
on
a
certaine
night
had
vnlawfull
copulation
with
two
harlotes
,
whom
they
haunted
,
died
both
of
them
sudēlie
,
the
one
of
an
Apoplexie
,
the
other
thrust
through
with
a
Dagger
.
Now
in
what
danger
their
soules
were
,
let
euerie
man
consider
with
himself
for
his
profit
.
I
am
not
ignorant
,
that
good
men
as
wel
as
wicked
,
may
suddenlie
be
taken
;
and
that
,
though
the
righteous
(
as
he
saith
)
be
preuented
with
death
,
yet
shall
he
be
at
rest
:
notwithstanding
,
how
horrible
is
it
for
an
impenitent
person
suddenlie
to
be
ouertaken
after
such
a
sort
▪
How
manie
haue
we
heard
of
,
murthered
through
contention
,
euen
when
they
haue
beene
at
good
cheere
!
How
manie
slaine
foorth-with
,
taken
in
adulterie
!
How
manie
at
the
Dice
and
Cardes
suddenlie
dispatched
,
euen
of
such
as
they
haue
plaied
withall
!
That
I
speake
nothing
of
them
,
which
falling
from
their
Horse
,
haue
brake
their
neckes
;
which
through
Shipwrack
haue
perished
suddenlie
;
which
finallie
either
by
the
fall
of
houses
,
or
other
chances
haue
beene
bruzed
into
peeces
!
Therefore
,
albe
God
would
the
repentance
rather
then
the
death
of
a
sinner
,
as
vndoubtedlie
he
would
:
yet
is
it
a
dangerous
thing
,
in
respect
of
vncertaine
chances
,
to
deferre
the
amendment
of
our
life
,
in
hope
of
Gods
mercie
.
For
thou
art
in
time
to
repent
,
while
thou
art
yet
aliue
,
while
thou
art
strong
,
while
thou
art
in
health
.
But
thus
it
is
.
The
yong
man
giueth
himselfe
to
pleasure
,
Now
being
an
old
man
,
In
the
meane
season
,
Death
suddenlie
oppresseth
him
that
deferreth
,
and
prolongeth
the
reformation
of
his
life
,
as
euerie
daie
almost
we
haue
examples
giuen
,
yet
doo
not
other
mens
harmes
make
vs
to
beware
:
so
mightelie
dooth
Satan
drawe
on
,
and
feede
vs
with
a
vaine
hope
of
Gods
mercie
,
and
of
a
long
life
.
And
although
it
neither
ought
,
nor
in
deede
anie
waie
can
be
denied
,
that
the
true
penitent
sinners
at
all
times
do
finde
fauor
at
Gods
hand
;
and
that
a
man
neuer
,
no
not
at
the
point
of
death
should
despaire
:
yet
who
is
so
foolish
,
that
maie
haue
that
which
is
voide
of
all
danger
,
and
will
chuse
that
which
is
ioined
with
great
hazard
euen
of
the
soule
!
Therefore
to
be
out
of
all
doubt
,
let
vs
,
while
time
is
,
thinke
of
amending
our
liues
,
and
not
deferre
the
same
from
daie
to
daie
,
especiallie
because
we
are
not
sure
to
liue
till
to
morowe
.
Nowe
concerning
the
mercie
of
God
,
let
vs
remember
continuallie
what
Cyprian
,
in
a
certaine
place
dooth
say
on
this
wise
;
As
much
as
God
is
good
,
and
mercifull
,
in
that
he
is
a
Father
:
so
much
is
he
to
be
feared
,
in
that
he
is
a
Iudge
:
so
will
it
come
to
passe
that
the
feare
of
Gods
vengeance
will
reclaime
vs
from
sinne
;
and
the
vaine
hope
of
his
mercie
in
too
much
securitie
shall
not
deceaue
and
corrupt
vs
.
In
this
vaine
hope
of
Gods
mercie
,
But
,
some
will
saie
,
they
aske
God
mercie
oftentimes
;
and
oftentimes
they
beseech
his
goodnes
to
forgiue
them
.
For
after
their
euening
praier
,
saie
they
not
euerie
daie
welnigh
?
Conuert
vs
,
O
Lord
,
and
turne
awaie
thy
displeasure
against
vs
.
Yea
,
and
in
the
ende
of
their
Mattins
too
,
doo
they
not
saie
?
Lord
haue
mercie
vpon
vs
.
And
at
other
times
,
that
God
would
haue
mercie
on
them
,
spare
,
and
forgiue
them
:
they
praie
,
doo
they
not
?
I
heare
you
.
O
horrible
face
of
the
Popish
Church
!
They
which
aswell
by
example
,
as
by
praier
,
should
rule
;
gouerne
,
and
teach
others
;
euen
they
so
behaue
themselues
,
that
others
in
them
be
maruelouslie
offended
.
Nowe
what
doo
the
Popish
Priestes
?
Forsooth
(
as
one
of
their
owne
crewe
reporteth
)
they
from
the
wicked
embracement
of
an
whore
hasten
vnto
the
altar
,
and
that
commonlie
,
vnpunished
,
without
blushing
.
They
are
touched
neither
with
a
care
of
amending
their
liues
;
nor
of
putting
awaie
their
harlots
;
neither
conceaue
they
anie
sorrow
at
the
remembrance
of
sinne
.
To
be
briefe
,
in
name
onelie
and
word
,
they
be
Christians
,
but
in
deede
and
truth
they
appeare
plaine
Ethnickes
.
What
then
?
some
may
demaunde
,
is
there
no
hope
of
saluation
of
such
?
Surelie
,
to
speake
my
conscience
,
they
,
who
are
such
,
as
I
haue
described
,
can
haue
no
hope
of
mercie
before
God
,
forsomuch
as
the
Auctor
of
the
Epistle
vnto
the
Hebrues
dooth
affirme
,
Whoremongers
and
Adulterers
God
will
iudge
;
They
which
doo
such
things
,
shall
not
inherit
the
kingdome
of
God
.
Wherefore
if
the
Papists
beleeue
it
to
be
true
,
as
it
is
,
which
the
Apostle
hath
saide
,
what
hope
can
they
haue
to
be
saued
,
abiding
in
such
filthines
of
life
?
especiallie
seeing
they
neither
vnfainedlie
repent
,
nor
will
put
away
their
concubines
.
But
if
they
doo
not
beleeue
it
to
be
true
,
then
falselie
doo
they
vsurpe
the
name
of
Christians
,
and
are
not
to
be
numbred
among
the
godlie
:
but
should
be
to
vs
,
as
our
Sauiour
dooth
saie
,
As
Heathen
men
and
Publicans
.
How
then
doo
Bishops
tollerate
such
vngodlie
fellowes
in
their
Churches
?
Yea
&
why
allow
they
such
to
preache
vnto
the
people
?
yea
,
why
for
mony
do
they
permit
them
to
haue
harlots
?
The
matter
is
manifest
;
so
that
it
cannot
be
denied
;
&
so
foule
and
abhominable
,
that
it
neither
ought
,
nor
maie
be
excused
.
And
although
they
denie
that
they
are
altogether
vngodlie
;
because
they
haue
the
name
of
God
in
honour
:
yet
manifest
is
it
that
they
are
not
godly
,
because
they
followe
those
things
which
are
cleane
contrarie
to
godlines
,
as
Hilarie
speketh
of
such
like
.
And
they
are
namlie
those
,
who
,
being
not
grieued
at
this
filthines
,
and
wicked
life
of
their
shauelings
,
show
plainely
that
they
abhorre
the
honest
&
vndefiled
bed
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
that
is
;
the
honest
and
lawfull
mariage
of
the
ministers
of
the
holie
Church
.
Oh
horrible
case
to
heare
oh
wretched
&
miserable
state
of
Christian
people
!
Come
Lord
Iesu
,
come
,
and
helpe
thy
Church
,
which
now
a
long
space
hath
had
those
pastors
vnder
the
popish
tyrannie
:
which
are
vtterlie
in
a
manner
destitute
of
all
Christian
faith
.
They
beleeue
,
will
some
saie
,
to
haue
saluation
through
Christ
.
Go
to
,
for
we
will
not
striue
much
about
that
point
,
let
vs
thinke
it
be
so
.
What
?
Beleeue
they
that
,
which
the
Apostle
saith
,
Whoremongers
shall
not
inherite
the
kingdome
of
God
?
Paule
,
or
the
holy
spirit
rather
by
Paule
saith
,
shall
not
inherit
the
kingdome
of
heauen
;
howe
can
they
promise
themselues
saluation
through
Christ
?
then
beleeue
they
,
both
that
they
shal
be
saued
;
and
that
whoremongers
,
as
they
are
themselues
,
shal
be
condemned
.
Oh
immortal
god
,
what
blokishnes
is
this
!
what
blindnes
of
hart
!
what
darknes
of
minde
!
See
they
not
what
contrarieties
they
speake
?
For
if
they
haue
an
assured
trust
that
they
shal
be
saued
(
for
that
is
it
which
we
call
beleefe
;
)
then
that
is
false
which
Paule
vnto
the
Ephesians
dooth
write
:
What
force
our
conclusion
hath
;
euen
a
blinde
man
maie
see
,
as
the
common
saying
is
.
For
the
Apostle
dooth
propose
and
affirme
,
No
whoremonger
shall
inherite
the
kingdome
of
God
.
The
whole
world
maketh
the
Minor
,
and
saith
with
one
consent
,
Popish
Priestes
are
such
.
Hereof
doo
the
right
Christians
conclude
,
that
no
Popish
Priestes
with
their
concubines
,
shall
inherit
the
Kingdome
of
God
.
All
men
,
though
they
haue
but
meane
skil
in
Logique
,
see
that
this
conclusion
followeth
of
the
former
propositions
,
which
are
manifestlie
true
,
and
granted
euen
of
our
aduersaries
.
For
this
argument
is
made
in
right
moode
and
figure
.
Popish
Priestes
therefore
with
their
harlots
haue
none
hope
to
be
saued
;
neither
doo
they
beleeue
,
as
they
falselie
reporte
,
albeit
they
feine
certaine
vaine
dreames
to
themselues
concerning
faith
.
But
some
will
saie
,
It
maie
be
,
that
they
who
to
daie
are
wicked
,
to
morowe
,
or
when
God
thinkes
good
,
may
repent
,
and
acknowledging
their
faults
,
liue
the
time
which
they
haue
to
spend
in
the
feare
of
God
:
and
therefore
we
should
not
so
quicklie
despaire
of
anie
mans
saluation
.
I
know
it
well
,
but
it
appeareth
how
these
felowes
are
onte
to
returne
vnto
godlines
;
and
how
vnfeindlie
they
repent
.
For
what
one
of
manie
thousands
haue
you
seene
heretofore
,
which
comming
vnto
himselfe
,
hath
either
cast
off
his
whore
,
or
determined
neuer
to
haue
companie
with
her
hereafter
?
I
speake
that
which
is
well
knowen
,
and
what
we
at
this
daie
doo
not
onelie
see
with
our
eies
:
but
also
euen
well
nigh
feele
with
our
handes
,
if
so
I
maie
saie
.
Not
one
of
a
thousand
scarse
,
can
you
finde
,
which
from
his
harte
at
anie
time
purposeth
to
amende
,
or
to
put
awaie
his
concubine

for
monie
permit
them
yeerelie
to
haue
harlots
,
by
these
their
pardons
&
dispenatiōs
:
beside
that
,
it
is
a
speciall
prouocation
vnto
sin
(
as
one
doth
saie
,
)
they
embolden
them
the
more
in
wickednes
;
&
prick
forward
,
&
giue
such
the
head
,
whom
they
should
bridle
;
yea
they
bring
it
so
to
passe
,
that
liuing
in
open
wickednes
,
they
thinke
they
sinne
not
;
&
so
for
their
owne
commoditie
they
giue
them
occasion
obstinatelie
to
persist
in
sinne
:
of
which
,
as
of
all
their
office
,
they
shall
one
daie
render
an
accompt
.
What
I
praie
you
,
admonish
,
improoue
,
rebuke
;
afterward
,
if
these
doo
no
good
,
remoue
them
from
their
charge
and
gouernement
of
the
congregation
where
they
are
placed
;
them
banish
them
from
the
temples
and
sacraments
;
afterward
being
condemned
to
the
pit
of
hel
,
to
excommunicate
them
from
the
companie
of
the
godlie
,
&
finallie
,
as
Paule
saith
,
deliuer
them
vnto
Satan
for
the
destruction
of
the
flesh
,
that
the
spirit
may
be
saued
in
the
daie
of
the
Lord
Iesus
.
These
thinges
they
should
doo
,
if
their
minde
were
to
execute
their
office
vprightlie
,
and
to
be
allowed
before
God
the
iudge
,
who
will
aske
an
account
of
them
for
all
their
doings
.
Cheefelie
and
aboue
all
things
they
should
showe
themselues
an
ensample
of
good
workes
,
as
Paule
admonisheth
Titus
,
to
them
that
beleeue
,
an
ensample
in
woord
,
in
conuersation
,
in
loue
,
in
spirit
,
in
faith
,
and
in
purenesse
,
Timothie
.
But
at
this
daie
,
the
Bishops
for
the
moste
parte
,
showe
themselues
to
be
such
,
as
they
suffer
the
Clergie
to
be
:
whereby
it
falleth
out
,
that
what
by
the
licence
,
and
what
through
the
example
of
Bishops
:
that
they
sinne
more
wilfullie
,
and
boldly
.
For
as
one
saith
;
That
is
thought
to
be
well
doone
,
which
is
doone
by
example
.
But
forsomuch
as
Priestes
,
that
daie
is
a
daie
of
wrath
,
a
daie
of
trouble
,
and
heauines
,
a
great
daie
,
and
a
verie
bitter
;
and
often
mention
is
made
of
the
dreadful
iudgement
,
of
euerlasting
damnation
,
and
of
the
theefe
repenting
at
the
last
gaspe
;
finallie
,
wherein
request
is
made
,
that
neither
torment
of
death
maie
touch
,
nor
chaine
of
the
damned
may
binde
:
furthermore
,
they
attend
on
the
Herse
,
and
followe
the
Corse
;
and
with
great
ceremonies
burie
the
dead
,
and
commit
the
bodie
to
the
earth
:
beside
this
,
walking
in
the
temple
they
oftentimes
reade
Epitaphes
,
and
verses
both
written
and
grauen
vpon
Tombes
and
Sepulchers
;
wherebie
occasion
is
giuen
to
remember
not
onelie
the
dead
:
but
also
death
it selfe
imminent
euerie
houre
,
and
also
the
last
iudgement
and
tribunal
seate
of
the
Lord
,
to
omit
other
things
:
and
yet
more
then
all
this
in
that
sacrifice
of
theirs
,
for
the
dead
,
they
heare
of
the
comming
of
Christ
,
of
the
resurrection
at
the
laste
daie
,
of
the
sound
of
the
Archangell
and
trompet
of
God
,
and
manie
other
such
things
)
yet
forsomuch
as
by
all
these
they
cannot
be

that

A
thirde
cause
why
we
deferre
the
amendment
of
our
life
.
A
Thirde
cause
,
whie
wee
so
driue
of
the
amendment
of
our
life
,
as
we
doo
,
is
our
custome
of
sinning
,
which
nowe
hath
almoste
gotten
to
be
an
other
nature
.
For
as
it
is
verie
harde
for
a
man
to
bridle
his
nature
:
so
the
strength
of
custome
is
almoste
inuincible
,
and
therefore
not
vnrightlie
called
an
other
nature
:
We
all
know
how
daintelie
and
wantonlie
parents
bring
vp
their
children
,
What
neede
manie
words
?
Parents
now
a
dayes
by
their
euill
behauiour
so
corrupt
their
children
,
that
no
correction
can
make
them
to
be
good
.
How
of
a
father
canst
thou
take
the
face
,
when
thou
by
mo
vices
,
dost
thy self
disgrace
?
&
how
for
loosenes
canst
thou
beat
thy
child
,
Thou
an
old
man
being
thy self
more
wild
?
So
dooth
that
in
another
Poet
of
Nausistrata
,
With
what
countenaunce
,
saith
she
,
will
ye
chide
him
?
And
which
Antemona
brought
foorth
in
Plautus
,
Is
it
meete
,
saith
she
,
that
a
father
should
giue
such
example
?
Art
thou
not
ashamed
?
But
let
vs
heare
that
yong
man
among
declaimers
,
that
accused
his
father
of
madnes
;
My
riot
,
saith
he
,
I
impute
to
my
father
.
I
was
not
brought
vp
straightlie
enough
in
awe
,
nor
in
a
well
gouerned
house
,
which
might
order
the
manners
of
a
yong
man
aright
,
and
withdraw
him
from
vices
,
whereunto
,
in
respect
of
his
age
,
he
is
inclined
.
My
father
in
a
sort
hath
inticed
me
vnto
riotousnes
,
&c.
In
these
daies
when
children
be
committed
to
Schoolemaisters
,
And
forsomuch
as
Schoolemaisters
,
Such
a
matter
it
is
to
be
accustomed
to
a
thing
from
tender
yeeres
,
as
the
moste
excellent
Poet
dooth
saie
.
And
as
another
Tragicall
Poet
writeth
,
The
minde
easelie
forgetteth
not
,
What
long
time
since
,
it
learnd
&
got
.
Oh
that
cities
would
consider
the
waightines
of
this
matter
,
Notwithstanding
,
how
in
this
pointe
now
a
daies
men
offend
,
no
tongue
can
expresse
.
For
now
there
is
no
place
for
godlie
and
learned
Schoolemaisters
,
whose
honest
life
,
commendable
behauiour
,
and
faithfulnes
is
well
knowen
.
Vnlearned
Sciolies
doo
euerie
where
so
creepe
into
the
freendship
&
familiaritie
of
mightie
men
,
and
so
perswade
them
that
they
alone
are
thought
to
be
meetest
(
when
they
are
as
meete
for
that
office
,
as
the
Asse
is
for
the
harp
,
according
to
the
common
saying
)
to
gouern
Scholes
,
and
to
bring
vp
children
.
And
for
their
doctrin
it
is
such
as
no
wise
man
wil
giue
a
straw
,
or
a
burnt
thred
therefore
:
their
ignorance
is
verie
grose
,
notwithstanding
they
can
hide
the
same
maruelous
cunninglie
.
And
for
that
in
respect
of
their
ignorance
&
rudenes
they
carie
none
auctoritie
,
the
which
a
learned
man
doth
easelie
attaine
,
they
lose
the
raines
of
discipline
to
much
,
&
maryong
minds
with
their
cokring
,
that
youth
may
the
more
willinglie
chuse
than
for
their
teachers
.
But
,
that
I
may
returne
to
my
purpose
,
seeing
that
parents
themselues
,
with
teachers
,
&
maisters
do
nussell
yong
children
in
wickednes
,
giue
them
the
head
to
do
what
they
list
;
and
haue
no
care
at
all
of
gouerning
,
&
restraining
their
desires
:
what
maruel
,
if
hardlie
,
or
not
at
all
they
can
leaue
those
vices
in
their
old
age
,
whereunto
they
were
accustomed
in
their
youth
!
custome
so
commeth
to
a
nature
.
And
although
,
when
the
daie
of
iudgement
comes
into
their
minde
,
they
thinke
of
repentance
!
yet
custome
hath
so
marred
them
,
that
,
whether
it
be
vnwillinglie
or
against
their
knowledge
:
they
fall
euermore
vnto
worser
wickednes
,
and
like
fooles
neuer
ceasse
to
prolong
their
amendment
more
and
more
.
Now
what
good
members
of
a
Common-weale
shall
we
thinke
they
will
prooue
in
their
old
age
,
which
in
their
youth
are
so
corrupted
,
through
their
parentes
meanes
;
and
so
ill
brought
vp
,
through
their
maisters
negligence
?
For
whence
come
so
manie
adulterers
now
a
daies
?
Let
euerie
magistrate
therefore
thinke
vpon
his
office
,
and
perswade
himselfe
,
that
when
Christ
shall
returne
to
iudge
the
world
,
he
must
yeeld
an
accompt
;
and
learne
of
Paule
,
that
he
beareth
not
the
sworde
for
naught
.
For
he
is
the
minister
of
God
,
to
take
vengeance
on
them
that
doo
euill
,
as
the
same
Paule
writeth
vnto
the
Romaines
.
And
for
so
much
as
Paule
dooth
witnesse
,
that
the
Lawe
is
not
giuen
to
a
righteous
man
,
but
to
the
laweles
and
disobedient
,
to
the
vngodlie
,
and
to
sinners
,
to
the
vnholie
,
and
to
the
prophane
,
to
murtherers
of
father
and
mothers
,
to
manslaiers
,
to
whoremongers
,
to
buggerers
,
to
manstealers
,
to
liers
,
and
to
the
periured
;
and
because
in
his
office
the
magistrate
is
a
minister
of
the
lawe
,
doubtles
he
cannot
be
negligent
,
or
slacke
and
dissolute
in
punishing
,
without
great
sinne
.
Wherefore
such
as
beare
auctoritie
,
and
rule
in
the
Common-weale
must
remember
,
that
loosenes
of
behauiour
,
and
wildenes
must
be
tamed
,
and
bridled
by
euerie
good
meanes
,
and
that
men
must
be
terrified
from
vice
and
wickednes
,
from
naughtines
,
and
from
all
deceipt
,
and
deadlie
and
hainous
crimes
through
the
feare
of
punishment
.
Vnles
they
do
so
,
they
make
themselues
guiltie
of
horrible
sinnes
,
and
shall
aunswer
for
the
faults
of
others
.
For
,
as
the
Poet
saith
:
He
that
may
restraine
wickednes
&
wil
not
,
Dooth
will
men
to
sinne
,
and
spare
not
.
I
am
afraide
the
seuerenes
of
Ethnickes
in
punishing
sinne
,
It
is
the
part
therefore
of
all
in
auctoritie
to
meete
with
these
mischiefes
;
and
without
delaie
to
punish
offenders
,
that
others
maie
take
heede
.
Little
good
hetherto
hath
beene
doone
by
lawes
;
therefore
the
matter
must
be
gon
about
another
waie
,
to
haue
the
better
successe
.
For
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
the
Magistrate
beareth
not
the
sworde
for
nought
.
Let
him
then
,
when
occasion
serues
,
drawe
out
the
same
,
let
him
strike
therewith
to
the
cutting
away
of
sinne
,
and
let
him
haue
a
care
that
he
be
not
blamed
for
negligence
in
that
behalfe
,
that
in
respect
of
discipline
we
be
not
worse
than
the
verie
Ethnickes
,
nor
giue
occasion
to
the
enemies
of
Christianitie
to
thinke
ill
(
as
they
doo
)
of
the
Gospell
,
and
of
our
profession
,
because
of
our
life
and
ill
behauiour
.
For
what
?
Can
the
Turkes
beleeue
that
religion
to
be
good
whose
professors
they
see
with
their
eies
to
be
of
all
men
the
most
wicked
,
and
prophane
?
They
will
obiect
,
and
cast
in
our
teeth
so
manie
whore-maisters
;
so
manie
ruffins
and
spend-thrifts
;
so
manie
dronkards
;
so
manie
adulterers
;
so
manie
Epicures
;
that
we
maie
be
ashamed
to
heare
so
much
.
They
will
inueigh
against
our
wickednes
,
they
will
laie
in
our
dish
luxuriousnes
;
they
wil
tel
vs
of
our
lecherie
.
And
thus
for
our
behauiour
sake
,
both
religion
it selfe
,
and
Gods
word
is
ill
spoken
of
;
&
as
Paule
saith
,
The
name
of
God
is
blasphemed
among
the
Gentiles
through
vs
.
And
although
,
to
iudge
rightlie
hereof
,
in
euerie
age
there
hath
beene
riotousnes
;
sumptuous
feasting
;
costlie
dinners
and
suppers
;
surfetting
;
dronkennes
,
who
redome
,
adulterie
,
oppression
,
iniurie
,
neglecting
of
well
dooing
,
and
other
such
wickednes
,
which
euery
man
in
his
time
hath
found
fault
withall
,
as
Seneca
doth
saie
,
and
no
age
that
hath
beene
voide
of
sinne
:
For
these
euils
therefore
it
were
the
parte
of
magistrates
bothe
spirituall
,
and
temporall
,
to
finde
some
remedie
,
as
they
whom
God
hath
exalted
,
and
preferred
by
strength
and
honor
,
Both
for
to
rule
the
publique
weale
,
And
subiects
keepe
in
awe
:
And
for
to
watch
both
night
and
daie
,
That
each
liue
vnder
lawe
.
That
with
all
studie
and
seueritie
,
they
cut
off
wickednes
;
and
both
cherish
and
defend
the
good
,
and
through
the
feare
of
punishment
terrifie
the
bad
,
and
make
them
not
onelie
to
fauour
religion
,
but
also
to
aduaunce
the
same
by
their
well
dooing
.
I
saie
therefore
once
againe
,
let
magistrates
remember
their
duties
:
and
what
wickednes
they
cannot
vtterlie
supplant
,
let
them
punish
;
and
though
they
are
not
able
to
make
men
good
(
which
belongeth
vnto
God
alone
:
)
yet
endeuor
they
withall
industrie
that
we
come
not
againe
vnto
Paganisme
,
and
prooue
worse
than
Ethnickes
.
Aboue
all
they
should
enact
and
looke
that
parents
bring
vp
their
children
in
the
feare
of
God
,
and
from
their
youth
teach
them
godlines
,
and
good
manners
.
And
forsomuch
as
the
well
bringing
vp
of
children
is
much
to
the
behoofe
of
a
Common-weale
,
for
there-vpon
consisteth
the
safetie
of
Citties
,
magistrates
must
haue
a
speciall
care
hereof
,
and
see
that
parents
doo
their
dutie
in
bringing
vp
their
children
aright
vnder
correction
.
If
this
were
doone
,
wickednes
would
not
take
such
roote
,
as
hetherto
it
hath
:
which
otherwise
by
no
lawes
can
be
auoided
.
And
therefore
it
hath
beene
the
cheefest
studie
of
wise
gouernors
,
But
from
this
digression
now
returne
we
vnto
our
purpose
.

¶
The
fourth
cause
whie
men
are
loath
to
repent
.
A
Fourth
cause
of
procrastinating
the
reformation
of
our
wicked
life
,
Of
prosperitie
springeth
prodigalitie
;
and
of
prodigalitie
,
as
all
other
vices
,
so
espciallie
impietie
against
God
.
And
Seneca
affirmeth
that
mens
mindes
are
luld
a
sleepe
with
too
much
felicitie
,
as
it
were
with
a
continuall
dronkennes
.
Hetherto
pertaineth
that
of
Paule
vnto
Timothie
,
Charge
them
that
are
rich
in
this
world
,
that
they
be
not
high
minded
,
and
that
they
trust
not
in
vncertaine
riches
,
but
in
the
liuing
God
,
that
they
doo
good
,
and
be
rich
in
good
woorkes
,
&c.
And
if
true
it
be
which
Publius
saide
:
Fortune
makes
him
extreamelie
foolish
,
whom
she
fauoureth
:
then
it
appeareth
euidentlie
,
how
prosperitie
dooth
not
onelie
make
men
secure
,
but
is
the
mother
of
all
wickednes
.
For
hence
it
is
,
that
we
perceaue
not
the
wrath
of
God
against
sinne
,
which
we
ought
continuallie
to
feare
;
hence
dooth
drousines
so
occupie
our
mindes
,
that
we
neither
dread
the
vengeance
of
God
,
nor
think
that
we
shall
either
die
,
or
appere
before
the
iudgement
seate
of
Christ
.
Our
Sauior
in
the
Gospell
after
Luke
,
I
will
gather
all
my
fruites
,
and
heape
my
goods
together
,
and
I
will
saie
to
my
soule
;
Soule
thou
hast
much
goods
laide
vp
for
manie
yeeres
,
liue
at
ease
,
eate
,
drinke
,
and
take
thy
pastime
.
But
,
in
this
securitie
,
and
opinion
of
continuall
felicitie
,
which
the
churle
conceaued
in
his
minde
,
what
saith
God
at
the
lenghth
?
Euen
thus
he
saith
,
O
foole
,
this
night
will
they
fetch
awaie
thy
soule
from
thee
.
Thus
you
plainlie
see
,
how
the
riche
man
,
while
he
dreameth
of
a
secure
and
quiet
life
,
of
dyning
,
and
supping
,
and
faring
deliciouslie
,
&
liuing
delicatelie
;
while
he
thinketh
all
was
well
,
Sudden
destruction
came
vpon
him
,
as
Paule
dooth
saie
.
Therefore
the
holie
Scripture
biddeth
vs
to
Watch
continuallie
,
and
euermore
to
be
readie
against
the
comming
of
the
Lord
.
A
goodlie
admonition
,
did
we
set
therebie
.
But
as
it
fell
out
in
the
time
of
Noe
,
When
as
they
did
eate
&
drinke
,
marrie
and
were
married
,
so
vpon
the
sudden
were
taken
all
awaie
by
the
flood
.
And
as
they
all
suddenlie
were
destroied
with
fire
from
heauen
,
when
Lot
was
departed
from
among
the
Sodomits
:
so
euerie
mans
last
daie
of
life
commeth
vpon
him
vnawares
,
when
he
looketh
not
therefore
.
When
S.
Iames
would
driue
awaie
this
securitie
from
rich
and
fortunate
men
,
what
saith
he
?
Go
to
now
yee
rich
men
,
saith
he
,
weepe
and
houle
,
for
your
miseries
that
shall
come
vpon
you
.
Here
call
into
thy
minde
that
rich
man
in
the
Gospell
,
purple
,
and
fine
linen
,
and
in
faring
well
and
delicatelie
euerie
daie
,
being
dead
,
is
now
in
hell
tormented
.
For
wealth
,
pleasure
,
and
ouermuch
prosperitie
would
not
suffer
him
to
thinke
of
amending
his
life
.
Hetherto
maketh
that
of
our
Sauiour
in
Matthewe
:
A
rich
man
shall
hardlie
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
:
and
,
It
is
easier
for
a
camell
to
goe
through
the
eye
of
a
needle
,
then
for
a
rich
man
to
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
God
.
Our
Sauiour
,
as
Marke
recordeth
,
expounding
the
same
,
dooth
saie
,
Children
,
how
hard
is
it
for
them
that
trust
in
riches
,
to
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
God!
It
maketh
also
to
this
purpose
,
that
Christ
calleth
riches
and
pleasure
of
this
life
,
thornes
,
which
cheake
the
seede
of
the
worde
,
and
make
it
vnfrutefull
.
This
then
is
the
cause
,
The
Scripture
also
showeth
,
that
prosperitie
maketh
men
not
onelie
secure
,
but
blinde
also
,
and
vngodlie
manie-times
:
which
made
Moses
to
saie
:
When
he
waxed
fat
,
he
spurned
with
his
heele
thou
art
fat
,
thou
art
grose
,
thou
art
laden
with
fatnes
:
therefore
he
forsooke
God
that
made
him
,
and
regarded
not
the
strong
God
of
his
saluation
.
They
prouoked
him
with
straunge
gods
,
and
so
foorth
.
Dauid
,
hauing
ouercome
his
enimies
on
all
sides
,
when
he
was
quiet
,
and
thought
all
things
well
,
not
onlie
to
fall
into
adulterie
:
but
also
to
defile
himselfe
with
the
murder
of
an
innocent
man
.
And
he
,
who
in
the
persecution
of
Saule
behaued
himselfe
well
,
in
prosperitie
prooued
wicked
.
So
greatlie
hath
he
to
looke
that
he
fall
not
,
which
thinketh
he
dooth
stande
.
Yea
after
he
had
committed
those
sinnes
,
how
secure
was
he
for
a
long
space
?
For
,
though
there
hung
no
daunger
ouer
his
head
,
forsomuch
as
God
is
mercifull
,
he
went
as
well
as
the
best
vnto
the
tabernacle
,
he
kept
the
Sabaoth
and
other
holie
daies
;
he
was
at
sacrifices
making
,
and
offered
giftes
;
to
be
breefe
,
his
minde
was
without
care
.
But
,
when
God
by
the
Prophet
Nathan
denounced
vengeance
,
Would
to
God
the
like
securitie
were
not
in
vs
,
who
for
the
moste
parte
liue
so
without
care
,
as
if
all
were
well
;
we
neither
confesse
our
sinnes
,
nor
yet
feare
the
sharpe
iudgement
,
and
heauie
hande
of
God
against
wickednes
.
So
farre
be
we
,
from
weeping
so
aboundantlie
,
as
we
haue
greeuouslie
transgressed
,
as
that
holie
Martyr
of
Christ
Cyprian
dooth
saie
.
But
to
returne
vnto
our
matter
,
and
to
conclude
in
fewe
words
:
No
man
can
be
saued
,
but
they
whose
sinnes
be
forgiuen
.
And
no
mans
sinnes
be
forgiuen
,
except
he
aske
forgiuenesse
.
No
man
dooth
aske
forgiuenes
,
but
he
who
desireth
to
come
into
Gods
fauor
againe
.
And
no
man
desireth
that
from
his
hart
,
vnlesse
he
be
touched
with
a
sense
and
feeling
of
his
wickednes
.
And
no
man
is
sorie
for
his
wickednesse
,
but
he
that
confesseth
them
,
and
perceaueth
the
wrath
of
God
against
sinne
.
But
this
dooth
not
a
secure
man
,
for
he
is
touched
with
no
care
of
his
saluation
.
Hee
to
whom
all
things
fall
out
prosperouslie
,
&
is
(
as
he
saith
)
dronken
with
sweete
fortune
,
is
such
a
person
.
Therefore
it
is
euident
,
that
wealth
and
prosperitie
is
a
cause
,
that
men
haue
no
care
of
amending
their
manners
.

A
fift
cause
why
man
will
not
repent
.
A
Fift
cause
of
deferring
the
amending
of
our
manner●
from
day
vnto
daie
,
is
hope
to
liue
long
.
For
,
although
none
,
no
not
the
yong
man
is
assured
,
as
he
in
Cicero
saith
,
that
he
shall
liue
vntill
night
:
yet
there
is
none
so
old
,
but
he
thinketh
he
may
liue
one
yeere
mo
.
The
Poet
bringeth
out
an
old
man
,
exclaiming
on
this
wise
:
Can
ye
wish
me
,
beeing
an
old
man
65.
yeeres
of
age
,
in
mine
old
daies
to
become
a
married
man
,
and
to
take
an
old
doting
woman
to
wife
?
But
now
in
these
daies
men
well
nigh
eightie
yeeres
of
age
doo
marrie
yong
girles
scarse
fifteene
yeeres
old
.
So
that
they
are
of
opinion
that
they
may
liue
as
long
as
lustie
yong
men
,
as
it
plainlie
appeareth
.
Some
perhaps
will
thinke
it
follie
and
madnes
for
old
men
to
become
wooers
:
neither
will
we
reason
for
,
or
against
them
:
this
onelie
I
note
,
that
such
as
at
that
age
take
virgins
to
wiues
,
notwithstanding
they
are
old
&
dote
,
yet
are
they
lead
with
a
vaine
hope
of
vndoubted
long
life
.
So
that
this
hope
is
the
cause
,
why
no
man
well
nigh
will
earnestlie
thinke
either
of
amendment
,
or
of
an
accompt
to
be
giuen
vnto
the
hiest
iudge
of
his
life
spent
.
Euerie
man
deferreth
,
and
,
as
much
as
in
him
lieth
,
puts
off
so
profitable
and
necessarie
a
matter
.
I
am
afraide
the
verie
Heathen
hereafter
in
the
last
iudgement
will
laie
in
our
dish
this
extreame
negligence
,
in
that
either
at
no
time
,
or
not
earnestlie
enough
,
we
thinke
of
reforming
our
manners
,
and
amending
our
life
.
Whereas
many
Heathen
vsed
continually
,
before
they
gaue
them-selues
to
sleepe
at
night
,
to
waigh
with
them-selues
,
according
to
Pythagoras
precept
,
what
thing
they
had
done
,
either
well
or
ill
.
Which
thing
,
Virgil
,
speaking
of
a
good
and
wise
man
,
expressed
on
this
wise
:
He
dooth
not
turne
his
eies
to
take
,
the
sweete
and
wished
sleepe
:
Till
what
he
did
the
daie
before
,
he
waies
with
motions
deepe
Of
minde
:
what
did
I
pretermit
?
what
did
I
in
due
time
Thinkes
he
?
what
not
?
vnseemelie
this
vnwiselie
that
same
crime
Whie
haue
I
done
?
what
ouer
slipt
?
in
fonde
opinion
Haue
I
stoode
?
or
helpt
the
poore
,
and
wisht
my
deede
vndone
?
Or
would
I
ought
,
which
I
should
not
?
whie
,
wretch
,
did
I
delight
In
gaine
,
more
then
in
godlines
?
by
worde
,
or
eke
by
sight
,
Haue
I
offended
anie
man
?
why
to
my
nature
vaine
Doo
I
obeie
?
and
reasons
lore
why
doo
I
so
disdaine
?
Thus
pondring
all
things
in
his
minde
,
from
morning
vntill
night
,
Which
he
hath
saide
or
done
,
forthwith
he
taketh
much
delight
Of
doing
well
;
and
praiseth
all
which
vnto
vertue
tend
:
But
what
he
vainlie
saide
or
did
,
doth
much
his
minde
offend
.
Seneca
likewise
speaketh
somewhat
concerning
this
custome
,
which
I
can
not
chuse
but
mention
.
He
therefore
in
a
certaine
place
,
speaking
of
calling
the
minde
euerie
day
vnto
an
accompt
,
saith
as
followeth
:
And
straightway
;
What
goodlier
thing
then
after
this
forme
to
examine
the
whole
daie
?
Oh
how
quiet
,
how
sound
,
and
how
free
is
the
sleepe
which
followeth
after
the
examination
of
mans
time
spent
!
when
the
minde
is
either
commended
for
dooing
well
;
or
warned
to
beware
of
wickednes
,
and
man
wil
be
his
owne
watchman
,
and
like
a
seuere
Censor
,
This
and
much
mo
thinges
to
this
purpose
speaketh
Seneca
,
which
would
to
God
we
would
fixe
in
our
mindes
,
and
followe
:
yea
,
and
acquaint
our
children
with
this
godlie
custome
.
For
did
we
so
doubtles
,
either
I
am
much
deceaued
,
or
we
should
studie
to
liue
more
aunswerable
to
our
Christian
profession
,
than
we
doo
.
But
what
doo
we
knowe
?
we
feast
merrelie
together
,
we
furnishe
our
boordes
with
most
daintie
dishes
:
yea
,
we
spend
not
the
daie
onlie
in
quaffing
,
but
the
whole
night
also
in
riotousnes
;
(
and
what
horrible
vices
of
all
sortes
tend
vpon
that
kinde
of
life
,
we
all
knowe
)
and
before
willinglie
we
giue
ouer
,
drinke
ouercommeth
vs
,
and
so
we
goe
drunke
to
bed
(
what
saie
I
we
go
?
)
naie
,
manie
times
,
because
we
can
neither
stand
stedelie
,
nor
go
but
totteringlie
,
we
are
lead
:
and
manie
times
plucked
from
the
boord
,
and
laide
in
bed
,
where
we
lie
buried
as
in
a
graue
,
(
for
I
can
not
otherwise
better
expres
the
same
)
ouerwhelmed
with
wine
,
and
sleepe
,
and
this
is
a
dailie
custome
.
Scarce
once
in
a
yeere
,
doo
we
enter
into
an
accoumpt
with
our selues
of
our
life
mispent
,
and
aske
mercie
for
our
offences
;
sildome
it
is
that
we
purpose
to
come
againe
into
Gods
fauor
.
And
when
we
doo
so
,
litle
too
we
minde
to
continue
in
those
thinges
which
we
haue
set
downe
:
so
farre
be
we
from
examining
our
consciences
before
we
go
to
rest
,
and
from
considering
how
we
ought
to
liue
,
or
with
sobs
&
teares
,
and
striking
our
breasts
,
prostrate
vpon
the
ground
,
from
asking
forgiuenes
of
the
Lord
;
from
vowing
a
new
life
;
and
from
endeuoring
to
abide
and
persist
in
that
minde
and
purpose
to
liue
well
.
Yet
for
all
this
we
are
not
afraide
,
in
such
a
cursed
state
of
life
to
sleepe
,
and
to
snort
too
in
securitie
;
wherein
if
sudden
death
should
strike
vs
(
as
no
man
is
sure
that
he
shall
rise
in
the
morning
,
when
he
goeth
vnto
bed
)
we
are
vtterlie
damned
,
and
cast
awaie
.
But
litle
doo
we
thinke
of
these
things
,
so
greatlie
doo
we
flatter
our selues
,
through
a
vaine
hope
of
longer
life
.
Now
for
so
much
as
commonlie
we
see
,
many
are
deceaued
through
such
hope
;
how
childish
be
we
,
naie
,
how
mad
rather
,
which
thinke
our selues
,
by
a
speciall
priuiledge
,
exempted
from
the
number
of
such
?

¶
A
sixt
cause
which
alienateth
mens
mindes
from
repentance
.
THere
is
an
other
cause
,
whie
manie
,
vnder
the
dominion
of
the
Pope
,
especiallie
,
such
as
are
welthie
&
rich
,
doo
put
off
their
amendement
from
daie
to
daie
.
And
that
is
not
onlie
the
trust
of
remission
of
their
sinnes
,
which
they
receaue
by
the
Popes
Buls
,
Matthew
,
doth
denie
.
And
Hierome
agreeing
with
him
,
as
euen
in
the
Canon
lawe
he
is
cited
,
saith
:
In
this
present
world
we
maie
helpe
each
other
,
either
by
praiers
or
councell
:
but
when
we
shall
appeare
before
the
iudgement
seate
of
Christ
,
he
affirmeth
that
euerie
man
must
beare
his
owne
burthen
.
To
be
short
,
as
death
it selfe
findeth
a
man
,
so
God
iudgeth
him
.
What
an
horrible
securitie
is
it
therfore
,
to
liue
in
sinne
and
wickednes
,
and
neuer
to
thinke
thereof
!
were
they
touched
with
any
care
of
their
saluation
,
they
doubtles
would
obserue
some
meane
in
sinning
,
and
euermore
thinke
of
the
last
daie
of
their
life
.
As
,
to
open
my
minde
by
particulers
,
he
which
beareth
hatred
against
his
neighbour
,
would
be
reconciled
,
according
to
the
commaundement
in
the
Gospel
;
Whoremongers
,
and
adulterers
,
would
remember
that
God
will
iudge
them
,
as
the
Author
of
the
Epistle
to
the
Hebrues
doth
saie
;
Murderers
,
and
sorcerers
,
and
all
liers
,
would
neuer
forget
,
how
their
part
is
in
the
lake
,
which
burneth
with
fire
and
brimstone
,
as
Iohn
in
the
Reuelation
writeth
;
Couetous
persons
,
dronkardes
,
and
railers
,
would
beare
continuallie
in
remembrance
,
that
they
shall
not
inherite
the
kingdome
of
God
,
as
Paule
writing
not
onlie
vnto
the
Corinthians
,
but
also
vnto
the
Ephesians
,
dooth
testifie
;
Rich
men
would
be
sure
to
haue
in
minde
,
that
our
sauiour
saith
,
How
hard
a
thing
is
it
for
them
that
trust
in
riches
,
to
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
God
?
Finallie
,
each
of
vs
would
be
mindfull
of
that
euerlasting
and
vnquenchable
fire
,
which
Christ
in
the
Gospel
threateneth
to
the
wicked
,
and
their
fellowe-sinners
;
and
euerie
man
for
his
part
would
feare
those
wordes
vnto
the
foolish
virgins
,
I
know
ye
not
;
those
also
vnto
that
idle
seruaunt
,
Cast
that
vnprofitable
seruaunt
into
vtter
darknes
:
there
shal
be
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
;
and
those
too
,
of
him
which
lacked
the
wedding
garment
,
Binde
him
hand
&
foote
;
take
him
awaie
,
and
cast
him
into
vtter
darknes
;
and
to
be
briefe
,
that
vnto
the
wicked
,
Depart
from
me
ye
cursed
into
euerlasting
fire
.
Oh
too
too
obstinate
are
they
whom
these
thinges
doo
not
moue
;
plainlie
Epicures
,
which
beleeue
them
not
;
extremelie
wicked
,
which
contemne
them
;
verie
mad
men
,
and
vnmindfull
of
saluation
,
which
regard
them
not
.
Such
are
they
,
which
by
purchased
pardons
,
doo
thinke
they
haue
got
libertie
,
and
freedome
to
commit
wickednes
,
and
through
this
vaine
perswasion
driue
off
to
amend
from
daie
to
daie
.
An other
cause
of
deferring
and
prolonging
repentaunce
is
,
for
that
manie
are
perswaded
,
if
they
maie
worship
S.
Barbara
,
Barbara
,
hath
possessed
the
mindes
of
all
worldlinges
,
where
the
Pope
hath
to
doo
.
And
therfore
a
fast
is
consecrated
to
her
euerie
yeere
to
be
kept
:
and
Painters
haue
set
her
forth
in
the
likenes
of
one
holding
a
cup
,
and
holie
bread
in
her
hand
.
Furthermore
,
manie
haue
a
great
care
,
and
long
afore
doo
prouide
,
that
when
the
houre
of
their
death
shall
approche
,
they
may
be
adopted
into
Saint
Francis
familie
,
Franciscane
.
For
this
opinion
is
rooted
in
all
their
mindes
,
that
the
diuel
hath
no
power
vpon
them
,
which
can
attaine
thereunto
:
inasmuch
as
the
Monkes
doo
impart
vpon
them
,
together
with
their
habit
,
all
the
merites
and
good
workes
of
their
whole
order
,
as
namely
Masses
,
Church
seruice
,
praiers
,
preachinges
,
meditations
,
fastinges
,
abstinence
,
vigils
,
pilgrimages
,
and
such
like
.
For
Monkes
hereby
,
leauing
alwaies
that
which
is
sufficient
vnto
saluation
,
if
any
thing
happelie
doo
remaine
,
and
be
superfluous
,
as
lightlie
there
is
,
that
they
communicate
with
other
,
not
Gratis
,
but
for
moneie
.
So
that
,
as
I
haue
saide
,
this
also
is
a
cause
,
why
men
,
that
haue
bought
the
good
deeds
of
Monkes
,
and
the
communion
of
godlie
merites
,
at
no
time
doo
thinke
of
amending
their
life
.
But
in
this
place
it
is
needeles
to
refell
,
either
this
manifest
error
of
popish
pardons
;
or
the
doting
superstition
of
worshipping
Saints
;
or
this
wicked
opinion
which
manie
haue
of
commucating
merites
;
especiallie
,
because
both
others
haue
done
it
before
now
,
&
we
also
in
many
places
ere
this
,
haue
oftentimes
confuted
them
.

,
as
vsuall
liuing
,
companie
,
and
dealing
with
the
vngodlie
and
wicked
,
Ill
wordes
corrupt
good
manners
.
And
an
auncient
Greeke
writer
saith
,
In
liuing
with
the
wicked
,
thou
wilt
proue
wicked
.
Here
I
would
haue
Parentes
to
remember
,
that
they
are
to
vse
great
dilligence
,
in
keeping
their
children
from
the
companie
,
and
familiaritie
of
the
wicked
;
and
in
marking
what
youth
,
&
of
what
conuersation
they
be
,
which
are
ioined
to
them
in
much
familiaritie
,
or
that
liue
together
with
them
;
or
finallie
,
which
doo
seeke
their
companie
.
For
such
is
a
man
,
for
the
most
part
,
as
is
the
companie
which
he
vseth
.
And
surelie
,
well
was
it
saide
of
one
,
He
that
toucheth
pitch
,
shal
be
defiled
with
it
.
But
heare
what
an
aduersarie
of
ours
doth
saie
:
We
take
our
manners
from
such
as
we
companie
withall
.
And
as
some
diseases
come
to
the
bodie
,
and
infect
them
which
touch
it
:
so
the
vices
of
the
minde
pollute
them
which
are
next
.
The
dronkard
draweth
his
familiars
vnto
the
loue
of
wine
.
The
companie
of
lasciuious
,
doo
effeminate
euen
the
strongest
man
.
Couetousnes
spueth
foorth
her
poison
vppon
her
companie
.
Such
is
the
force
of
vertue
,
and
of
the
vertuous
on
the
other
side
:
and
so
foorth
.
He
therefore
that
desireth
to
liue
godlie
,
holilie
,
and
to
keepe
him selfe
pure
,
and
whole
from
all
infection
of
wickednes
,
which
euerie
Christian
should
desire
to
doo
,
must
flie
and
auoide
the
companie
of
the
wicked
.
For
they
which
addict
them-selues
wholie
to
keepe
companie
with
such
,
and
abide
with
them
from
daie
to
daie
,
making
merrie
,
feasting
,
eating
and
drinking
together
continuallie
;
they
sildome
or
neuer
will
thinke
of
amending
their
life
,
neither
can
they
be
driuen
easilie
from
their
pleasaunt
fellowship
.
So
that
although
they
frequent
godlie
Sermons
,
are
admonished
by
good-men
in
authoritie
;
yea
,
and
them-selues
too
,
through
the
feare
of
Gods
indignation
,
doo
desire
to
reforme
their
manners
,
and
that
earnestlie
:
yet
,
I
knowe
not
how
,
they
driue
off
from
daie
to
daie
,
and
can
neither
vnfeinedlie
repent
,
nor
at
any
time
come
home
againe
.
In
the
meane
while
,
when
they
litle
thinke
thereof
,
sudden
death
many
times
striketh
them
vnawares
.
For
,
as
euerie
man
is
sure
to
die
:
so
the
houre
of
death
is
vncertaine
.
And
therefore
we
are
willed
in
the
scripture
to
watch
,
and
to
be
readie
against
the
last
daie
of
life
.
Hetherto
maketh
that
of
our
Sauiour
in
Luke
,
where
he
saith
,
Be
yee
prepared
therefore
:
for
the
sonne
of
man
will
come
in
an
houre
,
when
yee
thinke

An
other
cause
of
deferring
repentaunce
.
THere
is
another
cause
,
why
many
of
the
common
people
do
prolong
and
deferre
the
correction
of
their
life
.
For
there
be
some
,
and
those
verie
zelous
too
,
for
we
maie
not
thinke
otherwise
,
yet
not
circumspect
enough
in
this
point
,
which
in
their
Sermons
laie
open
the
mercie
of
God
,
the
remission
of
sinnes
,
and
such
other
thinges
tending
vnto
our
redemption
,
they
vrge
full
zelouslie
:
but
of
newnes
of
life
in
Christ
,
of
holines
,
and
quickening
of
the
holie
spirit
,
they
speake
either
nothing
at
all
,
or
verie
litle
.
For
,
according
to
the
doctrine
of
Paule
,
he
that
would
be
counted
a
Christian
,
must
die
to
sinne
,
liue
to
righteousnes
,
cast
off
the
olde
man
with
all
his
workes
,
and
put
on
the
newe
,
and
so
walke
,
liue
,
&
proue
worthy
the
Gospel
of
Christ
.
Againe
,
God
giueth
the
holie
spirit
to
such
as
beleeue
and
call
vpon
him
,
which
maie
raise
new
motions
in
the
heart
,
and
as
it
were
regenerate
the
will
of
man
,
and
driue
him
vnto
all
duties
of
godlines
,
and
to
all
vertues
seemelie
for
a
Christian
;
and
finallie
,
to
a
life
aunswerable
and
agreeing
to
the
profession
of
the
Gospell
.
Of
which
we
haue
spoken
at
large
in
an
other
place
.
Oh
how
much
are
the
mindes
of
simple
people
offended
by
these
and
such
like
speeches
!
Be
thou
,
saie
they
,
an
adulterer
,
a
fornicator
,
a
couetous
person
,
or
defiled
with
any
other
vice
or
wickednes
;
beleeue
onlie
,
and
thou
shalt
be
saued
.
As
for
the
lawe
,
thou
needest
not
feare
it
:
for
Christ
hath
fulfilled
the
lawe
,
and
satisfied
for
the
sinnes
of
mankinde
.
These
wordes
without
peraduenture
,
doo
much
offend
the
eares
of
the
godlie
,
and
open
a
gap
to
the
committing
of
wickednes
,
and
are
a
cause
that
men
doo
not
think
of
amending
their
manners
,
but
perseuere
obstinatelie
in
vice
and
wickednes
;
yea
,
and
to
saie
the
truth
,
animate
such
as
are
ill
bent
vnto
all
impietie
,
and
,
as
I
maie
saie
,
cut
off
all
occasion
of
repentaunce
.
How
much
better
did
Paule
,
Felix
,
and
to
Drusilla
his
wife
,
the
faith
which
is
in
Christ
;
but
disputed
also
of
righteousnes
,
and
temperaunce
,
and
of
the
iudgement
to
come
,
in
so
much
that
Felix
trembled
therat
.
Yea
,
and
the
same
Paule
againe
in
the
Actes
witnesseth
,
how
that
he
shewed
vnto
the
Gentiles
,
not
onlie
that
they
should
repent
,
and
turne
to
God
;
but
ouer
and
besides
,
doo
workes
worthie
amendment
of
life
.
Thus
you
haue
the
causes
in
a
manner
,
why
we
are
wont
to
prolong
,
and
deferre
the
correction
of
our
life
.
Now
doo
we
purpose
to
shew
what
remedie
maie

this
mischiefe

¶
A
remedie
against
incredulitie
,
which
is
the
first
cause
why
man
doth
not
repent
.
Of
which
afore
Chapter
second
.
AGainst
this
incredulity
therfore
of
ours
,
concerning
the
iudgement
to
come
,
the
paines
of
the
wicked
,
and
immortall
happines
of
the
godlie
,
the
authoritie
of
God
our
Lord
and
sauiour
Christ
(
vnles
we
had
rather
to
be
counted
,
than
in
deede
be
Christians
)
will
preuaile
out
of
doubt
,
if
we
remember
,
and
set
,
as
it
were
,
before
the
eies
of
our
minde
,
those
sayings
which
are
contained
in
the
holie
scripture
concerning
this
matter
.
As
that
is
(
of
many
to
recite
a
few
)
in
the
〈◊〉
after
Iohn
▪
The
houre
shall
come
,
saith
he
,
in
the
which
all
that
are
in
the
graues
shall
heare
his
voice
.
And
they
shall
come
foorth
that
haue
done
good
,
vnto
the
resurrection
of
life
:
but
they
that
haue
done
euill
,
vnto
the
resurrection
of
condemnation
,
&c.
Againe
he
saith
,
This
is
the
will
of
him
that
sent
me
,
that
euerie
one
which
hath
the
Sonne
,
and
beleeueth
in
him
,
shall
haue
euerlasting
life
:
and
I
will
raise
him
vp
at
the
last
daie
.
Furthermore
,
in
the
Gospel
after
Matthew
,
speaking
of
the
last
iudgement
,
among
other
thinges
,
our
sauiour
telleth
of
the
sentence
he
will
pronounce
vpon
the
godlie
on
this
wise
:
Come
ye
blessed
of
my
Father
,
inherit
yee
the
kingdome
prepared
for
you
from
the
foundation
of
the
world
.
And
on
the
other
side
of
the
wicked
,
he
saith
;
Depart
from
me
yee
cursed
into
euerlasting
fire
,
which
is
prepared
for
the
Diuell
and
his
Angels
.
And
a
litle
after
:
And
they
shall
goe
into
euerlasting
paine
,
and
the
righteous
into
life
eternall
.
O
horible
sentence
of
the
Iudge
condemning
the
wicked
vnto
euerlasting
fire
!
Now
,
if
the
feare
of
earthly
Iudges
doo
astonish
malefactors
;
how
should
they
stand
in
feare
of
the
celestiall
Iudge
?
or
how
should
their
gilty
conscience
terrifie
them
?
If
thou
art
so
afraid
of
the
Iudge
in
this
world
,
from
whom
notwithstanding
thou
maist
appeale
;
how
much
more
oughtest
thou
to
stand
in
dread
of
that
Iudge
,
to
whose
verdict
thou
must
stand
?
Depart
from
me
yee
cursed
,
he
saith
.
How
horrible
then
wil
it
be
,
from
God
him-selfe
,
who
is
the
souereigne
,
and
excellent
happines
,
to
be
seperated
;
from
the
fellowship
of
the
righteous
,
and
holie
spirites
to
be
debarred
;
to
be
excluded
from
the
eternall
blessednes
of
the
celestiall
kingdome
,
which
is
such
and
so
great
,
that
neither
wordes
can
expresse
;
nor
the
minde
comprehend
;
nor
all
the
cogitations
of
man
conceaue
the
same
:
and
not
onlie
so
,
but
to
be
sent
vnto
extreame
tormentes
in
hell
,
and
condemned
vnto
euerlasting
fire
,
the
heate
whereof
is
so
extreame
,
that
our
fire
in
comparison
thereof
is
but
ice
,
and
so
continue
worldes
without
end
among
the
diuels
,
voide
of
all
hope
of
better
state
.
What
?
thinke
you
,
that
men
would
liue
so
wretchedlie
as
they
doo
,
if
they
remembred
these
things
?
But
they
remember
not
what
Peter
in
the
Actes
of
the
Apostles
witnesseth
,
that
Christ
is
ordeined
of
God
a
Iudge
of
quicke
and
dead
;
whereof
Paule
in
like
sort
vnto
Timothie
maketh
mention
.
Againe
,
vnto
the
Corinthians
,
he
saith
,
For
we
must
all
appeare
before
the
iudgement
seate
of
Christ
,
that
euerie
man
maie
receaue
the
thinges
which
are
done
in
the
bodie
,
according
to
that
he
hath
done
,
whether
it
be
good
or
euill
.
In
which
iudgement
,
as
testifieth
the
same
Paule
,
He
will
lighten
thinges
that
are
done
in
darknes
,
and
make
the
councels
of
the
heart
manifest
,
so
that
all
men
shall
behold
the
same
.
The
which
how
horrible
it
will
be
to
the
wicked
,
no
man
can
sufficientlie
either
tell
,
or
conceaue
.
For
,
if
in
this
life
,
a
wicked
man
,
whose
wicked
and
shamefull
vices
and
wickednes
are
to
be
ripped
vp
,
and
repeated
in
the
face
of
a
great
multitude
of
men
,
would
wish
rather
to
be
swallowed
vp
of
the
earth
aliue
,
then
haue
so
many
witnesses
of
filthie
life
to
appeare
in
sight
:
how
thinke
yee
our
mindes
shal
be
troubled
,
when
the
harts
of
the
wicked
shal
be
opened
,
and
all
our
cogitations
,
councels
,
and
doinges
,
brought
before
the
sight
of
the
whole
world
,
of
the
Angels
of
God
,
and
of
all
the
Saints
in
heauen
?
If
here
we
deeme
it
a
miserable
and
wretched
thing
to
be
led
vnto
prison
;
how
miserable
will
it
then
seeme
,
to
be
throwen
into
euerlasting
tormentes
?
If
it
be
horrible
to
be
punished
in
this
world
,
either
with
banishment
,
or
death
;
what
will
it
be
hereafter
to
be
banished
worldes
without
end
,
from
the
celestiall
kingdome
;
and
body
and
soule
to
be
put
to
euerlasting
death
?
If
it
be
most
comfortable
for
the
godlie
,
to
heare
God
bidding
them
to
inherite
the
kingdome
prepared
for
them
from
the
foundation
of
the
world
▪
how
horrible
doo
we
thinke
that
the
sentence
of
the
Iudge
will
be
to
the
wicked
,
condemning
them
vnto
euerlasting
fire
prepared
for
the
Diuell
and
his
Angels
?
If
we
beleeue
these
thinges
of
the
iudgement
to
come
,
of
the
reward
of
the
godlie
,
and
due
punishment
of
the
wicked
,
are
true
:
why
doo
we
so
liue
,
as
though
there
were
neither
heauen
nor
hell
?
If
we
doo
not
beleeue
these
thinges
,
why
will
we
needes
be
called
and
counted
Christians
?
Let
vs
therefore
shake
off
securitie
,
which
possesseth
our
mindes
,
together
with
that
sluggishnes
,
cowardnes
,
and
blockishnes
,
and
drousines
which
haue
inuaded
vs
.
We
argue
not
about
nifles
:
but
about
the
saluation
of
the
soule
,
the
possession
of
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
about
euerlasting
life
and
blessednes
.
Wherfore
now
I
saie
,
now
while
we
liue
,
and
are
in
health
;
while
we
maie
be
forgiuen
;
while
he
is
our
aduocate
,
which
will
be
our
Iudge
,
let
vs
endeuor
to
amend
our
liues
:
and
neuer
deferre
we
the
same
till
our
sinnes
forsake
vs
,
before
we
forsake
them
.
Let
vs
alwaies
remember
the
daie
of
iudgement
,
and
the
horrible
voice
of
the
Iudge
,
bidding
the
wicked
depart
from
him
;
also
the
paines
of
hell
,
and
the
euerlasting
fire
let
vs
neuer
forget
.
Finallie
,
let
the
shortnes
of
our
life
,
the
certaintie
of
death
,
the
vncertaintie
when
we
shall
depart
be
euermore
in
minde
:
to
the
ende
that
no
man
maie
promise
him selfe
so
much
as
one
daie
,
no
not
one
moment
of
life
.
To
which
effect
it
was
well
saide
of
Seneca
:
It
is
vncertaine
in
what
place
death
will
waite
for
thee
;
therefore
waite
thou
for
death
in
all
places
.
And
therefore
the
more
vncertaine
,
and
short
mans
life
is
:
the
more
,
while
we
maie
,
we
are
to
thinke
of
repentance
.

A
remedie
for
the
second
cause

whie
we
repent
not●
mentioned
afore

Chapter
.
FOr
(
to
saie
some-what
against
the
second
cause
)
why
shouldest
thou
defer
the
amendment
of
thy
life
,
in
trust
and
hope
of
Gods
mercie
?
I
graunt
,
Christ
when
he
came
,
called
sinners
,
but
,
vnto
repentance
for
their
life
mispent
,
not
vnto
libertie
to
sinne
.
The
Lord
gratiouslie
(
as
he
is
mercifull
)
doth
forgiue
:
but
such
as
repent
;
nor
them
which
obstinatlie
persist
in
wickednes
.
Christ
bare
our
sinnes
in
his
bodie
on
the
tree
,
saith
Peter
.
I
know
he
did
:
but
what
addeth
he
?
That
we
being
deliuered
from
sin
,
should
liue
in
righteousnes
.
Christ
gaue
himselfe
for
vs
,
saith
Paule
vnto
Titus
.
No
man
denieth
that
:
but
what
followeth
in
the
same
place
?
That
he
might
redeeme
vs
from
all
iniquitie
,
and
purge
vs
to
be
a
peculiar
people
vnto
himselfe
,
zealous
of
good
workes
.
Christ
hath
washed
vs
from
our
sinnes
through
his
blood
,
saith
Iohn
in
the
Reuelation
.
I
knowledge
it
:
but
not
that
we
should
againe
defile
our selues
with
sinne
and
wickednes
.
We
haue
an
aduocate
with
God
the
Father
,
saith
Iohn
,
euen
Iesus
Christ
:
Not
vnles
we
repent
,
and
so
run
vnto
him
for
helpe
.
But
you
will
saie
,
I
will
hereafter
bewaile
my
sinne
.
But
how
knowest
thou
,
that
thou
shalt
liue
one
minute
of
an
houre
;
much
lesse
so
long
a
time
as
thou
wilt
prefixe
for
thy
conuersion
?
Call
into
thy
minde
,
what
God
,
vnto
that
Rich-man
in
the
Gospell
,
which
in
his
great
prosperitie
promised
long
life
to
him-selfe
,
doth
saie
;
O
foole
,
this
night
will
they
fetch
awaie
thy
soule
from
thee
.
Thou
hast
much
to
feare
,
least
the
like
happen
to
thy selfe
.
I
hope
(
thou
saiest
)
it
will
be
better
with
me
then
so
.
But
what
if
your
hope
deceaue
you
?
then
maie
some
one
exclame
and
saie
,
O
vaine
and
deceitfull
hope
!
Now
if
that
should
come
to
passe
(
which
God
forbid
)
thou
art
vtterlie
damned
,
and
voluntarilie
throwest
thy selfe
into
euerlasting
destruction
.
Yet
you
can
not
denie
,
but
it
maie
fall
out
so
,
our
life
is
so
vncertaine
.
Then
what
a
follie
is
it
,
by
procrastinating
repentance
,
to
bring
thy
saluation
in
hazard
,
which
thou
maist
be
sure
of
,
repent
thou
neuer
so
soone
?
Why
then
foorth-with
dost
thou
not
amend
,
rather
then
with
such
daunger
of
thy
saluation
,
to
feede
thy
vaine
hope
?
God
is
mercifull
,
me
thinkes
you
saie
.
So
is
he
righteous
too
.
Why
then
standest
thou
not
in
feare
of
his
iustice
,
whose
mercie
thou
dost
trust
vntoo
?
I
desire
not
the
death
of
the
wicked
,
saith
the
Lord
by
the
Prophet
.
True
;
but
what
followeth
those
wordes
?
But
that
the
wicked
man
turne
from
his
waie
,
and
liue
.
Therefore
turne
you
vnto
the
Lord
(
as
Ioel
adhorteth
)
with
all
your
heart
,
and
with
fasting
,
and
with
weeping
,
and
with
mourning
.
Turne
you
vnto
the
Lord
your
God
,
for
he
is
gratious
,
and
mercifull
,
slowe
to
anger
,
and
of
great
kindnes
;
as
the
same
Ioel
speaketh
.
Hetherto
maketh
that
of
Ezechiel
,
If
the
wicked
man
will
returne
from
all
his
sinnes
that
he
hath
committed
,
and
keepe
all
my
statutes
,
and
doo
that
which
is
lawful
and
right
,
he
shall
surelie
liue
,
and
shall
not
die
,
And
a
litle
after
,
Haue
I
anie
desire
that
the
wicked
should
die
,
saith
the
Lord
?
or
shall
he
not
liue
,
if
he
turne
from
his
waies
?
Hetherto
belongeth
that
of
Esaie
,
Let
the
wicked
forsake
his
waies
,
and
the
vnrighteous
his
own
imaginations
,
and
returne
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
he
wil
haue
mercie
vpon
him
;
and
to
our
God
,
for
he
is
verie
readie
to
forgiue
.
The
Prophet
sheweth
how
that
God
is
gratious
and
merciful
,
but
toward
them
which
repent
,
and
acknowledge
their
sinne
.
Therefore
doo
thou
speedelie
repent
,
turne
againe
vnto
the
feare
of
God
,
aske
forgiuenes
of
thy
sinnes
with
teares
,
and
sighing
,
be
thorowlie
out
of
loue
with
thy selfe
for
wickednes
perpetrated
and
committed
;
leaue
thine
owne
waie
,
and
turne
vnto
the
Lord
thy
God
;
and
then
assure
thy selfe
of
saluation
:
despaire
not
,
neither
doubt
thou
of
Gods
mercie
and
fauour
.
In
the
meane
while
;
remember
the
saying
of
our
Sauiour
,
That
ioie
shal
be
in
heauen
for
one
sinner
that
conuerteth
,
more
then
for
ninetie
and
nine
iust
men
.
Yea
,
let
this
aboue
all
the
rest
,
pricke
thee
vp
vnto
repentance
;
considering
,
both
how
greatlie
the
verie
Angels
desire
thy
conuersion
,
and
how
much
they
reioice
when
thou
dost
amend
.
But
that
in
the
Psalmes
likes
thee
passing
well
,
where
it
is
saide
,
Thou
,
O
Lord
,
art
a
pittifull
God
,
and
mercifull
,
slowe
to
anger
,
and
great
in
kindnes
.
Seeing
you
saie
so
,
hearken
what
in
the
same
booke
of
Psalmes
is
written
,
Thou
hatest
all
them
which
worke
iniquity
.
Againe
,
The
face
of
the
Lord
is
against
them
that
doo
euill
.
Some
will
yet
saie
,
it
is
in
the
Gospel
after
Iohn
,
that
He
which
beleeueth
in
the
Sonne
,
hath
euerlasting
life
.
But
what
saith
the
same
Iohn
in
an
other
place
?
He
that
commiteth
sinne
,
is
of
the
Diuel
.
And
,
He
that
saith
,
I
knowe
God
,
and
keepeth
not
his
commaundementes
,
is
a
liar
,
and
the
truth
is
not
in
him
.
Iohn
Baptist
witnesseth
of
Christ
,
saying
,
Behold
the
Lambe
of
God
,
which
taketh
awaie
the
sinnes
of
the
world
.
But
what
saith
he
beside
?
Repent
.
And
,
Bring
foorth
fruites
worthy
amendment
of
life
.
You
vrge
further
that
of
Peter
in
the
Actes
,
saying
,
We
beleeue
through
the
grace
of
the
Lord
Iesus
to
be
saued
.
But
marke
you
not
what
in
the
same
booke
is
written
?
Amend
your
liues
therefore
,
and
turne
,
that
your
sinnes
maie
be
put
awaie
.
Doth
not
Christ
in
the
Gospel
after
Iohn
saie
,
God
so
loued
the
world
,
that
he
hath
giuen
his
onlie
begotten
Sonne
,
that
whosoeuer
beleeueth
in
him
,
should
not
perish
,
but
haue
euerlasting
life
?
But
doth
he
not
saie
in
Matthewe
also
?
Not
euerie
one
that
saith
vnto
me
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
shall
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
but
he
that
doth
my
Fathers
wil
which
is
in
heauen
.
You
beleeue
I
am
sure
,
that
which
Paule
saith
,
That
Christ
Iesus
came
into
the
world
to
saue
sinners
:
beleeue
also
,
that
neither
enchaunters
,
nor
whooremongers
,
nor
murtherers
,
nor
idolaters
,
nor
theeues
,
nor
couetous
,
nor
proude
persons
,
nor
dronkards
,
nor
railers
,
nor
the
factious
,
nor
enuious
,
nor
euil-willers
,
shall
inherite
the
kingdome
of
God
.
For
if
you
beleeue
,
that
Paule
,
or
the
holie
spirite
rather
by
the
mouth
of
Paule
,
doth
speake
the
truth
:
you
see
plainlie
that
you
can
haue
no
hope
of
mercie
at
Gods
hand
,
or
assurance
to
be
saued
,
liuing
awicked
&
filthie
life
.
For
,
as
faith
through
the
Gospel
,
acknowledgeth
God
to
be
mercifull
to
the
penitent
:
so
doth
it
know
that
he
is
angrie
and
displeased
with
such
as
obstinatelie
proceede
in
sinne
.
There
is
no
cause
then
,
why
through
hope
and
confidence
of
pardon
at
Gods
hand
thou
shouldest
prolong
thy
conuersion
,
and
flatter
thy selfe
.
Repent
,
&
come
into
the
waie
againe
:
and
then
,
doubt
thou
no
whit
,
but
thou
maist
make
thy selfe
a
large
promise
of
Gods
fauour
and
kindnes
.
And
as
no
man
can
trulie
repent
,
but
he
which
hopeth
to
be
forgiuen
,
as
it
is
well
saide
by
Ambrose
:
so
none
maie
hope
to
beforgiuen
,
which
doth
not
vnfeinedlie
repent
.
This
one
thing
I
will
ad
now
out
of
Iesus
the
sonne
of
Sirach
,
before
I
proceede
vnto
the
rest
:
saith
he
,
I
haue
sinned
,
and
what
euil
hath
come
vnto
me
?

¶
A
remedie
against
the
custome
of
sinning
,
which
is
the
third
cause
of
deferring
repentance
:
as
aboue
in
the
fourth
Chapter
hath
bene
showed
.
BVt
custome
of
sinning
doth
hinder
thee
,
that
thou
canst
not
amend
,
&
returne
from
sinne
vnto
godlines
.
For
commonlie
it
falleth
out
,
that
looke
what
a
man
hath
bene
vsed
vnto
from
his
youth
,
he
pursueth
in
his
age
.
Because
,
as
Cyprian
saith
,
that
is
not
quicklie
,
and
speedelie
laide
off
,
which
is
growen
to
ripenes
through
long
vse
.
For
when
will
he
learne
to
be
a
good
husband
,
which
hath
spent
his
time
in
riottousnes
,
and
daintie
fare
?
And
he
which
glittereth
in
braue
apparel
,
gloriouslie
set
out
with
gold
,
and
purple
,
will
hardlie
attire
him-selfe
after
the
facion
of
the
simple
sort
.
It
cannot
be
,
but
that
with
forceable
intisementes
,
as
the
manner
is
,
wine
must
inuite
,
pride
puffe
vp
,
anger
set
on
fire
,
couetousnes
vnquiet
,
cruelty
prick
forward
,
ambition
delight
,
lust
bring
downe
head-long
,
and
so
foorth
.
So
that
it
maie
seeme
verie
hard
by
anie
meanes
to
alter
custome
,
which
in
a
manner
is
become
another
nature
.
Notwithstanding
,
if
you
loue
your
owne
wel-fare
,
you
must
endeuor
yet
.
But
,
you
wil
aske
,
how
you
maie
so
do
?
Euen
if
you
cast
off
that
by
litle
and
litle
through
good
custome
,
which
you
haue
got
through
euil
custome
:
and
if
you
labour
to
plucke
vp
that
by
good
custome
,
which
euil
custome
hath
ingraffed
.
And
nothing
is
so
hard
(
as
Seneca
doth
saie
)
which
the
minde
of
man
cannot
ouercome
.
What-soeuer
the
mind
went
about
,
it
hath
brought
to
passe
.
Wherefore
to
breake
this
almost
inuincible
strength
of
custome
,
you
must
addresse
your
minde
chieflie
there-vnto
,
and
not
striue
and
labour
onlie
by
force
to
ouercome
the
same
.
And
yet
you
must
striue
withall
,
if
you
would
weaken
,
and
plucke
vp
,
and
roote
out
a
thing
which
is
fastened
,
and
sticketh
to
the
rootes
.
Wherefore
,
set
there-vpon
couragiouslie
,
at
the
least
wise
begin
vpon
good
hope
,
endeuor
with
a
sure
trust
in
God
,
&
doubt
thou
not
but
thou
shalt
blessedlie
go
forward
.
For
before
thou
begin
,
thine
olde
custome
perhaps
wil
seeme
vnuincible
,
but
when
you
come
vnto
the
triall
,
straight-waie
that
,
which
you
thought
would
hardlie
be
done
,
will
seeme
nothing
so
,
or
at
least
not
so
difficult
.
So
often-times
that
which
at
the
first
we
thinke
heauie
,
when
we
once
go
about
the
same
,
proueth
light
.
Brieflie
,
what
the
most
excellent
Poet
speaketh
of
Mnestheus
companions
to
this
effect
,
Their
good
successe
doth
make
them
bold
and
stoute
.
They
able
are
Because
they
seeme
to
be
.
Nothing
their
courages
can
dare
:
Thinke
without
peraduenture
,
will
fitlie
be
applied
to
thee
.
Onlie
,
as
I
haue
saide
,
go
about
the
same
with
a
courage
,
hope
wel
,
and
euerie
daie
thy
care
,
and
minde
to
liue
godlie
,
wil
like
thee
more
and
more
;
and
the
loue
of
vertue
,
than
which
,
as
one
trulie
saith
,
nothing
is
more
beutiful
,
nothing
more
faire
,
more
louelie
nothing
is
,
wil
maruelouslie
inflame
,
and
rauish
thy
mind
.
And
in
the
ende
thou
wilt
vse
much
ioiful
gratulations
to
thy selfe
for
addressing
to
reforme
thy
manners
.
Such
a
pleasure
,
and
euerie
daie
more
profite
then
others
shall
you
reape
thereby
.
So
that
you
wil
confesse
that
to
be
true
which
our
Lord
and
sauiour
Christ
,
said
vnto
his
Disciples
in
these
words
,
Ay
yoke
is
easie
,
and
my
burden
light
.
Hetherto
belongeth
that
which
Hierome
in
a
certaine
place
doth
write
:
Too
much
custome
of
sinning
,
saith
he
,
maketh
tie
waie
to
vertue
seeme
hard
and
vnc●mfortable
to
vs
:
but
alter
this
custome
once
,
and
you
shall
finde
the
waie
to
rightiousnes
,
to
be
a
goodly
and
pleasant
waie
.
So
saith
he
no
lesse
trulie
,
then
elegantlie
.
And
if
Stilpho
the
Philosopher
,
which
thing
Cicero
doth
testifie
,
Being
naturallie
enclined
vnto
wine
,
and
women
,
did
by
learning
so
bridle
and
subdue
his
nature
,
that
no
man
sawe
him
drinke
at
anie
time
,
nor
yet
beheld
anie
appearance
of
wicked
lust
in
him
:
Why
maist
thou
not
through
Gods
assistance
,
tame
by
litle
&
litle
,
and
,
as
I
maie
saie
,
cast
of
a
wicked
custome
,
yea
,
though
it
be
much
ingraffed
,
and
verie
old
!
An
Ethnike
subdued
his
nature
,
shall
not
a
Christian
ouer-come
custome
?
especiallie
,
if
earnestlie
he
bend
him
selle
there-vnto
;
if
continuallie
he
looke
to
himselfe
;
if
after
a
sort
he
offer
violence
to
him-selfe
,
and
yeeld
not
to
weaknes
;
if
in
consideration
of
mans
imbecillitie
he
call
for
Gods
assistance
by
earnest
and
ardent
praier
;
if
by
almes
,
and
liberalitie
vpon
the
poore
,
he
seeke
after
the
fauour
of
God
;
finallie
,
if
he
make
petition
that
the
holie
Spirite
,
which
maie
raise
vp
newe
motions
in
his
heart
,
and
pricke
forward
his

to

A
remedie
against
the
fourth
cause
of
prolonging
repentance
,
spoken
of
before
in
the
fift
Chapter
.
THey
whom
riches
&
prosperitie
doo
make
secure
(
for
this
was
the
fourth
cause
of
prolonging
repentance
)
should
often
call
into
minde
that
horrible
voice
of
our
Sauiour
,
extant
in
the
gospel
after
Luke
:
Wo
be
vnto
you
that
are
rich
:
for
you
haue
receiued
your
consolation
.
Wo
be
to
you
that
are
full
,
for
you
shall
hunger
.
Wo
be
to
you
that
nowe
laugh
,
for
you
shall
waile
and
weepe
.
Neither
let
them
forget
,
what
God
saide
vnto
the
rich
man
in
the
Gospel
:
O
foole
,
this
night
wil
they
fetch
awaie
thy
soule
from
thee
.
Let
other
examples
be
remembred
also
,
of
such
,
whome
before
we
cited
,
as
were
either
drowned
suddenlie
by
the
flood
;
or
consumed
suddenlie
by
fire
in
Sodom
.
So
would
both
those
rich
men
,
whome
the
seruant
of
God
Iames
biddeth
,
to
Weepe
and
houle
,
for
the
miseries
that
shall
come
vpon
them
;
and
that
fine
glutton
also
,
who
being
buried
,
was
tormented
with
the
flames
of
hel
fire
.
Let
vs
then
from
our
hearts
cast
of
securitie
;
let
vs
not
forget
God
in
prosperitie
;
let
vs
feare
the
wrath
of
that
Iudge
,
before
whose
iudgement
seate
we
are
all
to
stand
,
to
pleade
our
owne
cause
,
our
owne
conscience
accusing
,
and
bearing
witnes
;
either
with
vs
for
wel-doing
;
or
against
vs
for
our
wickednes
.
It
falleth
out
for
the
most
part
,
that
prosperitie
puffeth
vp
the
minde
,
that
rich
men
are
proud
,
that
wealth
makes
men
head-strong
.
We
should
therfore
continuallie
vse
wel
our
good
fortune
and
prosperitie
:
we
should
looke
againe
and
againe
,
least
this
temporarie
happines
bring
vs
vnto
eternal
miserie
,
and
destruction
.
What
is
then
to
be
done
?
That
Paule
writing
vnto
the
Corinthians
,
sheweth
in
few
words
:
Hereafter
,
saith
he
,
let
both
they
which
haue
wiues
,
be
as
though
they
had
none
;
And
they
that
weepe
,
as
though
they
wept
not
;
And
they
that
reioice
,
as
though
they
reioiced
not
;
And
they
that
buie
,
as
though
they
possessed
not
;
And
they
that
vse
this
world
,
as
though
they
vsed
it
not
;
For
the
facion
of
this
world
goeth
awaie
.
In
which
wordes
the
Apostle
sheweth
,
that
we
must
haue
either
no
care
at
all
,
or
that
our
least
care
should
be
either
of
wiues
,
or
of
prosperitie
or
aduersitie
;
or
finallie
of
riches
and
wealth
of
this
world
:
but
that
our
chiefest
,
yea
,
and
onlie
care
is
to
be
cast
vpon
heauen
,
and
heauenlie
thinges
.
Not
without
cause
did
Paule
commaund
Timothie
,
to
Charge
them
that
are
rich
in
this
world
,
that
they
be
not
high
minded
,
and
that
they
trust
not
in
vncertaine
riches
,
but
in
the
liuing
God
.
And
Dauid
in
the
Psalmes
doth
saie
,
If
riches
encrease
,
set
not
your
heart
thereon
.
Riches
are
not
simplie
condemned
,
the
which
godlie
men
haue
possessed
:
but
the
trust
in
riches
,
and
the
pride
and
hautines
which
ariseth
from
riches
,
is
condemned
.
For
wealth
commonlie
,
and
prosperitie
,
are
woont
to
make
men
haue
stomackes
,
and
hie
mindes
.
Hence
that
in
the
Comedie
,
Because
wealth
is
encreased
,
their
mindes
are
exalted
.
He
therefore
which
hath
gathered
riches
,
and
enioieth
the
world
at
will
,
let
him
both
yeeld
thankes
to
God
for
the
same
;
and
take
heede
that
he
insult
not
,
and
waxe
high
minded
;
yea
,
and
also
let
him
againe
and
againe
too
,
euermore
bring
his
fortune
into
suspicion
:
but
aboue
all
vse
he
dilligence
,
that
through
securitie
(
as
manie
doo
)
he
forget
not
God
;
and
that
he
neuer
leese
the
sense
of
Gods
vengeance
against
sinne
,
nor
haue
his
minde
either
occupied
with
idlenes
,
nor
inuaded
by
negligence
.
Of
which
vnles
he
beware
,
it
is
doubles
to
be
feared
,
least
leaning
too
much
vpon
present
happines
,
he
be
carried
awaie
with
a
false
ioie
;
and
least
flattering
him-selfe
with
hope
of
long
prosperitie
,
the
feare
of
God
being
quite
remoued
,
in
the
meane
while
he
be
oppressed
:
as
commonlie
the
death
of
death
commeth
vpon
vs
,
when
we
litle
looke
for
the
same
.
Let
vs
therefore
place
before
the
eies
of
our
mind
that
saying
of
the
Apostle
,
When
they
saie
,
Peace
and
safetie
,
saith
he
,
then
shall
come
vpon
them
sudden
destruction
.
So
then
,
as
the
same
Apostle
warneth
vs
,
let
vs
not
sleepe
,
but
let
vs
watch
,
and
be
sober
.
Neuer
let
vs
saie
,
we
shall
haue
peace
,
euill
shall
not
come
vpon
vs
:
or
as
they
did
of
whome
the
Prophet
Esaie
maketh
mention
,
who
saide
,
We
haue
made
a
couenant
with
death
,
and
with
hel
are
we
at
agreement
:
Though
a
scourge
runne
ouer
,
and
passe
through
,
it
shall
not
come
at
vs
.
In
the
old
,
and
also
in
the
newe
Testament
we
maie
finde
many
,
both
testimonies
of
Gods
displeasure
against
wickednes
;
and
examples
of
punishmentes
vpon
the
vngodlie
,
by
the
reading
whereof
,
euerie
man
to
his
profit
maie
shake
off
carelenes
in
prosperitie
.
For
it
is
not
our
minde
in
this
place
to
alleadge
all
,
least
our
booke
doo
growe
ouer-big
.
Let
it
neuer
be
forgot
,
which
Moses
mentioneth
of
mankinde
,
which
was
drowned
by
a
flood
in
the
beginning
of
the
world
;
of
the
vtter
consuming
both
of
Sodom
&
Gomor
by
fire
;
of
the
manifold
,
and
extreme
calamities
of
the
people
of
Israel
;
of
the
often
carying
them
into
captiuitie
by
barbarous
nations
for
their
contempt
of
godlines
;
nor
finallie
,
which
ecclesiasticall
histories
doo
write
,
of
the
ouer
throwe
,
wasting
,
and
destruction
of
Ierusalem
.
For
all
these
thinges
are
written
(
as
Paule
writing
vnto
the
Corinthians
doth
saie
)
To
admonish
vs
,
vpon
whome
the
endes
of
the
world
are
come
.
Now
what
punishment
the
Lord
hath
laid
vpon
particular
men
for
their
wickednes
,
it
were
long
(
as
I
haue
said
)
and
needeles
to
show
.
I
wil
alledge
but
one
for
example
sake
:
When
that
noble
&
deerelie
beloued
of
the
Lord
,
Dauid
I
meane
,
at
what
time
he
was
through
much
prosperitie
secure
,
had
fallen
into
the
filthie
sinne
of
adulterie
,
and
increased
the
greatnes
thereof
,
by
the
murthering
of
an
innocent
man
;
with
what
miseries
and
calamities
did
God
afflict
him
,
yea
,
after
he
had
repented
,
and
was
restored
into
Gods
fauour
againe
?
For
God
plagued
him
both
with
the
death
of
his
Sonne
newlie
borne
;
and
with
the
rebellion
of
his
owne
children
;
and
by
his
woful
flight
from
Hierusalem
;
and
with
violence
offered
to
his
concubine
by
his
owne
sonne
;
and
with
defection
of
his
subiectes
;
and
finallie
(
to
omit
other
thinges
)
with
a
great
slaughter
of
his
people
.
So
horrible
and
hore
is
the
wrath
of
God
against
wickednes
.
If
so
holie
a
man
,
no
not
after
his
repentance
and
comming
into
Gods
fauour
,
as
the
bookes
,
wherein
the
Actes
of
the
Kinges
of
Israell
be
contained
,
doo
witnes
;
if
,
I
saie
,
so
holy
a
man
after
his
repentance
scaped
not
vnpunished
for
his
sinnes
committed
:
what
thinke
you
shall
betide
them
,
which
are
touched
with
no
griefe
of
their
wickednes
?
which
securelie
doo
sinne
,
and
proceede
from
one
sinne
vnto
another
;
finallie
,
which
with
obstinate
heartes
persist
in
vngodlines
?
Let
vs
therefore
cast
off
al
slouthfulnes
,
and
that
sleepie
and
drousie
securitie
,
when
we
haue
the
world
at
wil
;
let
vs
liue
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
;
and
make
sure
our
saluation
with
feare
and
trembling
;
let
vs
not
suffer
our selues
to
be
entangled
with
the
wicked
intisementes
of
the
flesh
;
and
finallie
,
by
continuall
praier
,
let
vs
resist
the
tentation
of
Satan
.
And
thus
much
for
this
point
.

¶
A
remedie
against
the
fift
cause
of
deferring
amendment
of
life
,
contained
in
the
sixt
Chapter
of
this
booke
.
THey
which
in
hope
of
long
life
,
doo
procrastinate
the
amendment
of
their
life
,
doo
vtterlie
of
purpose
deceaue
them-selues
;
and
vainelie
doo
hope
for
that
,
which
greatlie
they
desire
:
whereby
,
witting
,
knowing
,
liuing
,
and
seeing
with
their
owne
eies
their
destruction
,
they
perish
,
which
is
the
extremest
follie
that
can
be
.
If
these
men
are
nothing
moued
with
that
which
Philosophers
(
wise
men
I
meane
among
the
Heathen
,
yet
void
of
true
religion
)
haue
left
in
writing
,
touching
the
shortnes
and
vncertaintie
of
this
life
,
as
he
was
,
who
saide
that
Man
is
a
bubble
;
and
he
too
,
who
called
man
,
A
dreame
of
a
shadowe
:
yet
let
Iob
,
that
man
so
beloued
of
God
,
moue
vs
,
which
witnesseth
that
Man
is
of
a
short
continuance
;
let
the
seruant
of
God
Iames
moue
vs
,
which
saith
,
that
the
life
of
man
is
euen
a
vapor
that
appeareth
for
a
litle
time
,
and
afterward
vanisheth
away
;
let
the
sonne
of
God
,
our
Lord
and
sauiour
Christ
,
who
cannot
lie
,
moue
vs
,
who
biddeth
vs
,
Watch
,
for
we
know
neither
the
daie
,
nor
the
houre
.
Finallie
,
if
you
thinke
it
most
true
,
let
euen
common
experience
moue
vs
.
Oftentimes
thou
art
with
such
as
are
grieuouslie
sicke
,
without
hope
of
recouerie
;
thou
art
present
when
they
giue
vp
the
ghost
;
thou
hearest
the
verie
pangs
of
death
;
thou
beholdest
them
vpon
the
beare
;
thou
followest
the
coarses
vnto
the
graue
;
thou
seest
them
laide
into
the
earth
;
thou
hearest
the
pitteous
crie
of
mourners
;
thou
readest
Epitaphes
engraued
on
tombes
;
thou
meetest
manie
in
mourning
weede
:
all
which
thinges
should
stirre
vp
thy
minde
to
remember
the
shortnes
of
this
life
,
and
how
death
is
nigh
at
thine
elbowe
.
If
the
death
of
others
,
whome
we
knowe
not
,
cannot
moue
vs
;
yet
let
vs
be
moued
through
the
death
of
our
friends
and
familiars
;
let
our
own
dangers
,
and
grieuous
sicknes
,
whereinto
we
fall
often-times
moue
vs
.
And
we
,
that
consider
not
our
owne
infirmitie
,
through
the
troubles
of
others
;
let
vs
confesse
our
frailitie
,
and
mortalitie
of
mankinde
,
at
least
wise
through
our
owne
weaknes
where-withall
we
are
tempted
.
Which
thing
if
we
would
doo
,
we
shall
perceaue
there
is
no
cause
why
we
should
flatter
our selues
with
a
vaine
and
deceiptful
hope
of
longer
life
.
But
,
som
wil
say
,
I
may
amend
my self
,
&
repent
when
I
am
old
:
in
the
meane
space
I
wil
take
my
plesure
.
So
you
say
:
But
who
is
sure
he
shall
liue
till
he
be
old
?
Thinkest
thou
,
which
neglectest
,
and
ouer-passest
the
offered
time
,
and
occasion
to
repent
;
thinkest
thou
,
I
saie
,
to
haue
the
like
oportunitie
when
thou
thinkest
good
,
for
thine
owne
behoofe
?
Thou
art
deceaued
,
surelie
thou
art
much
deceaued
,
if
thou
thinke
so
.
God
of
his
mercie
,
which
desireth
the
conuersion
,
rather
then
the
death
of
a
sinner
,
when
he
thinketh
good
,
calleth
thee
vnto
repentance
;
and
,
as
he
in
the
Reuelation
saith
,
Standeth
at
the
doore
and
knocketh
.
Therfore
doo
thou
open
when
he
knocketh
;
hearken
to
him
that
calleth
;
whether
he
calleth
followe
him
;
and
,
neuer
despise
the
riches
of
his
bountifulnes
,
and
patience
;
least
for
thine
hardnes
,
and
heart
that
cannot
repent
,
thou
heape
vnto
thy selfe
wrath
against
the
daie
of
wrath
,
as
Paule
writeth
vnto
the
Romanes
.
Let
vs
beare
in
minde
what
the
same
Paule
vnto
the
Corinthians
doth
saie
:
We
beseech
you
,
that
ye
receaue
not
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
.
For
he
saith
,
I
haue
heard
thee
in
a
time
accepted
,
and
in
the
daie
of
saluation
haue
I
succoured
thee
.
Behold
now
the
accepted
time
;
behold
now
the
daie
of
saluation
.
By
which
words
the
Apostle
sheweth
,
that
the
time
which
God
offereth
for
repentaunce
,
is
not
to
be
ouer-slipt
;
and
that
like
occasion
is
not
alwaies
giuen
.
Hetherto
belongeth
that
vnto
the
Galathians
:
While
we
haue
time
,
let
vs
doo
good
.
And
not
vntrulie
saide
an
olde
writer
:
He
which
hath
promised
pardon
to
him
that
repenteth
;
hath
not
promised
another
daie
of
life
to
him
that
dissembleth
his
sinnes
.
Take
heede
therefore
,
that
by
procrastinating
repentance
,
and
that
through
hope
of
longer
life
,
thou
wittinglie
and
of
purpose
,
doo
not
tempt
the
Lord
,
whose
goodnes
inuiteth
thee
vnto
repentance
.
The
which
we
are
forbidden
by
an
expresse
commaundement
of
God
in
Deuteronomie
.
It
falleth
out
many
times
,
that
men
are
killed
suddenlie
,
euen
in
brauling
,
playing
,
and
quaffing
together
;
so
that
he
can
haue
no
time
to
aske
mercie
at
Gods
hand
for
his
wickednes
:
when
as
we
in
the
meane
while
,
through
the
singuler
goodnes
of
God
,
haue
time
and
space
to
returne
vnto
godlines
.
Wherfore
let
vs
not
abuse
this
so
great
mercie
of
our
most
gratious
God
,
who
looketh
and
longeth
too
,
as
it
were
for
occasion
to
shew
mercie
vpon
vs
.
Amend
we
our
sinful
liues
,
least
being
suddenly
preuented
with
death
,
as
the
Church
doth
sing
,
we
seeke
time
to
repent
,
and
cannot
finde
the
same
.
And
certainlie
,
He
which
hath
promised
pardon
to
him
that
repenteth
(
as
euen-now
I
said
,
and
must
often
saie
)
hath
not
promised
another
daie
of
life
,
to
him
that
dissembleth
his
sinnes
.
But
,
as
some
saie
,
in
the
time
of
sicknes
,
a
sinner
maie
repent
.
He
maie
doo
so
,
I
graunt
:
notwithstanding
,
marke
how
many
impediments
come
then
in
the
waie
,
which
verie
hardlie
can
be
auoided
.
For
,
to
saie
nothing
of
the
care
which
the
sicke
hath
of
making
his
wil
;
of
prouision
for
his
wife
,
and
children
;
of
the
paine
of
sicknes
,
and
such
like
,
which
maie
seeme
of
small
importance
:
how
doth
Satan
bestirre
him-selfe
then
,
what
engins
doth
he
set
to
bring
the
poore
soule
vnto
desperation
,
through
laying
his
manifold
offences
before
his
eies
?
For
then
chieflie
,
if
euer
,
he
rippeth
vp
,
and
bringeth
into
remembraunce
whatsoeuer
euil
a
man
hath
either
thought
,
or
wild
,
or
said
,
or
done
;
and
such
faultes
,
as
of
them-selues
are
great
and
hainous
,
he
doth
make
much
greater
then
they
be
:
and
by
all
meanes
doth
studie
to
withdrawe
him
from
hope
of
saluation
,
and
to
driue
him
vnto
despaire
for
his
manifold
and
great
offences
.
Hetherto
belongeth
the
griefe
of
a
guiltie
conscience
;
the
great
feare
of
death
before
his
eies
;
the
wofull
and
bitter
cogitation
of
Gods
iudgement
seate
;
the
dread
of
a
seuere
sentence
,
which
wil
sore
dismaie
,
and
trouble
the
minde
;
the
horrible
remembrance
of
the
paines
of
hel
:
and
who
is
able
to
repeate
all
the
impediments
,
and
causes
which
let
men
,
that
they
cannot
so
much
as
thinke
of
repenting
at
that
time
?
Doo
not
therefore
,
doo
not
,
if
thou
be
wise
,
deferre
the
amendement
of
their
life
,
till
the
last
daie
.
For
that
is
a
verie
dangerous
matter
:
that
I
saie
not
,
how
such
a
repentance
,
for
so
much
as
of
necessitie
it
springeth
,
and
is
extorted
,
through
the
feare
of
damnation
,
rather
then
taken
in
hand
of
pure
zeale
,
is
of
small
force
to
get
pardon
.
But
no
repentance
is
too
late
before
God
.
I
confesse
so
much
.
For
,
At
what
time
so
euer
a
sinner
dooth
repent
him
of
his
sinne
,
I
wil
put
all
his
wickednes
out
of
my
remembrance
,
saith
the
Lord
.
And
,
as
the
Prophet
in
another
place
,
God
desireth
not
the
death
of
a
sinner
,
but
that
he
repent
and
liue
.
But
what
if
sudden
death
take
thee
vnawares
;
that
thou
canst
haue
no
time
to
lament
,
and
to
repent
thee
of
thy
sinnes
?
For
all
men
should
looke
for
that
,
which
maie
happen
vnto
all
men
.
Let
the
vnlooked
for
destruction
of
them
,
vpon
whome
the
towre
in
Silo
fell
,
as
Luke
recordeth
,
come
into
your
minde
.
What
if
suddenlie
you
should
leese
your
wits
and
vnderstanding
;
as
we
see
many
doo
?
The
which
if
it
should
fall
out
(
as
it
maie
happen
)
then
gone
were
all
hope
of
repenting
,
which
the
sinner
had
placed
in
prolonging
the
amendment
of
his
life
.
For
that
maie
betide
thee
,
which
hath
happened
to
others
:
that
you
maie
thinke
you
are
not
exempted
from
that
which
is
common
to
all
men
.
For
a
true
saying
is
that
of
Publius
,
That
maie
happen
to
euerie
man
,
which
maie
happen
to
anie
man
.
Cast
awaie
therfore
all
hope
of
long
life
,
then
the
which
vndoubtedlie
nothing
is
more
vaine
,
&
fleeting
;
neither
doo
thou
dreame
of
occasion
,
nor
appoint
a
time
wherein
thou
wilt
repent
;
nor
finallie
,
doo
not
thou
nourish
thy
foolishnes
,
or
madnes
rather
in
deferring
the
reformation
of
thy
sinfull
life
,
through
this
deceiptful
hope
.
Wert
thou
wise
,
thou
wouldest
repent
at
that
time
wherein
thou
maist
offend
.
For
if
thou
minde
then
to
repent
,
when
thou
canst
sinne
no
more
,
doubtles
thou
dost
not
leaue
sinne
,
but
sinne
thee
.
Furthermore
,
it
is
to
be
feared
,
least
seeing
when
thou
maist
thou
wilt
not
repent
,
that
when
thou
wouldest
,
thou
maist
not
.
For
the
iudgementes
of
almightie
God
in
punishing
mans
wickednes
,
are
vnsearchable
.
For
as
his
woont
is
of
his
goodnes
and
mercie
,
to
giue
them
space
of
repentance
,
which
are
prepared
readie
,
and
willing
to
receaue
mercie
;
yea
,
and
in
the
meane
while
with
much
patience
and
lenitie
to
beare
with
sinners
,
vntill
they
returne
from
their
wickednes
:
so
when
he
seeth
any
man
vtterlie
bent
vnto
vngodlines
,
and
deriding
Gods
long
suffering
,
and
so
worthie
damnation
,
then
ceaseth
he
to
hold
such
a
one
back
from
falling
into
destruction
,
and
so
(
according
to
the
phrase
of
scripture
)
blindeth
the
desperate
,
and
hardeneth
the
obstinate
:
neither
dooth
he
looke
any
longer
for
his
conuersion
,
nor
offereth
occasion
for
the
damned
to
repent
.
For
God
hath
appointed
a
time
and
manner
for
each
man
,
the
which
no
man
in
wickednes
maie
ouer-passe
;
and
God
will
not
prolong
his
punishment
,
and
paine
of
sinne
.
The
which
should
stirre
vp
all
men
to
repent
without
delaie
,
and
to
prepare
them-selues
to
receaue
the
grace
of
God
.
But
for
so
much
as
we
haue
spoken
sufficient
hereof
,
let
vs
hasten
vnto
other
thinges
.

A
remedie
for
the
sixt
cause
of
deferring
repentance
,
declared
afore
in
the
seuenth
Chapter
.
THey
,
who
through
the
opinion
,
which
they
haue
in
Popes
pardons
,
doo
defer
the
correction
of
their
life
,
doo
trust
to
a
weake
staffe
,
and
depend
vppon
a
tottering
wall
(
as
the
saying
is
.
)
So
doo
they
in
like
sort
,
that
worship
Saint
Barbara
,
and
wil
be
buried
in
the
habite
of
a
Franciscane
.
For
in
all
the
scripture
what
maie
be
found
concerning
these
toies
?
What
in
all
the
old
Testament
?
In
the
Euangelical
doctrine
what
?
What
in
the
works
of
the
Apostles
?
To
conclude
,
which
of
these
thinges
was
obserued
in
the
primitiue
Church
;
or
else
by
a
generall
iudgement
and
consent
of
the
Church
at
all
times
,
receaued
and
allowed
,
as
a
thing
auaileable
,
and
necessarie
to
saluation
?
Therefore
,
who
doth
not
before
death
bewaile
his
offences
,
he
,
albeit
he
haue
a
thousand
Buls
and
Pardons
,
shall
neuer
be
saued
.
And
therefore
,
vnlesse
thou
wilt
be
in
doubt
of
thy
saluation
,
omitting
these
vices
,
thou
must
earnestlie
repent
thy
wicked
life
,
and
be
heartelie
sorie
at
the
remembraunce
of
thy
sinnes
;
thou
must
with
teares
and
praiers
,
beseech
God
to
be
good
vnto
thee
;
finallie
,
thine
onlie
refuge
must
be
to
runne
vnto
the
merites
of
Christ
,
in
a
strong
hope
that
God
the
Father
wil
be
merciful
to
thee
for
Christ
his
sake
,
whome
for
vs
he
hath
deliuered
vnto
the
death
.
So
wil
it
come
to
passe
,
that
God
wil
haue
mercie
on
thee
,
forgiue
thy
sinnes
,
and
for
his
Christes
sake
receaue
thee
into
fauour
.
For
,
we
haue
him
our
aduocate
with
God
,
which
praieth
for
vs
,
and
doth
reconcile
his
heauenlie
Father
,
who
by
reason
of
our
sinnes
and
wickednes
,
is
offended
with
vs
,
and
maketh
him
both
mercifull
and
quiet
,
as
Iohn
in
his
first
Catholical
Epistle
doth
teach
.
So
then
regard
thou
neither
the
Popes
pardons
;
nor
the
worship
of
Barbara
;
nor
the
habite
and
weede
of
a
Franciscane
,
wherin
there
is
no
hope
at
all
to
be
saued
.
Run
thou
v●to
Christ
him-selfe
,
who
is
our
mediator
and
aduocate
,
as
I
said
;
the
throne
of
grace
;
the
propitiation
for
the
sinnes
of
the
world
;
and
the
Lambe
killed
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
as
in
the
Reuelation
it
appeareth
;
brieflie
,
who
is
our
righteousnes
,
sanctification
,
and
redemption
,
as
Paul
vnto
the
Corinthians
doth
witnesse
.
Wherfore
(
to
returne
vnto
the
purpose
)
prolong
not
the
amendement
of
thy
sinfull
life
for
anie
Bull
or
Pardon
from
the
Pope
;
especiallie
,
seeing
our
life
is
so
short
,
and
the
houre
of
certain
death
so
vncertaine
.
The
which
death
,
for
so
much
as
in
respect
of
vncertaine
chaunces
,
it
is
alwaies
nigh
,
and
maie
in
this
verie
moment
ouer-take
a
man
vnawares
;
doubtles
,
as
one
saith
,
can
not
be
farre
off
.
How
daungerous
therefore
is
it
to
liue
in
such
a
state
,
wherein
if
sudden
death
should
strike
thee
,
thou
wert
vtterlie
damned
?
Then
to
auoide
this
daunger
,
see
that
alway
thou
liue
in
the
feare
of
God
;
acknowledge
thy
wickednes
;
flie
vnto
the
mercie
of
God
;
aske
pardon
;
and
hope
&
looke
too
for
saluation
at
Gods
hand
for
Christ
his
sake
.
Beside
,
make
thou
often
recourse
vnto
the
minister
of
the
Church
;
and
craue
consolation
,
and
absolution
from
him
.
And
,
that
thou
maist
be
stirred
vp
vnto
the
remembrance
of
the
promise
of
pardon
,
and
be
confirmed
more
&
more
of
Gods
mercie
to
vs-ward
,
make
often
recourse
vnto
the
Lordes
table
;
and
,
according
to
Christes
institution
,
both
eate
that
bodie
,
which
some-time
was
a
sacrifice
for
the
sinnes
of
mankinde
;
and
drinke
the
blood
shedde
foorth
for
the
remission
of
our
sinnes
:
and
so
being
mindfull
of
the
Lordes
death
,
yeeld
thou
heartie
thankes
to
God
for
his
so
great
benefits
,
and
with
a
grateful
mind
sing
thou
Psalmes
to
him
,
both
with
thy selfe
at
home
,
and
with
others
in
the
congregation
of
the
faithful
.

A
remedie
for
the
seuenth
cause
,
specified
afore
in
the
eight
Chapter
.
AS
much
as
thou
canst
(
to
come
vnto
other
thinges
)
auoide
euermore
the
companie
of
the
wicked
;
and
ioine
thy selfe
vnto
the
societie
of
the
good
.
And
,
as
one
councelleth
,
haue
conuersation
with
such
as
maie
make
thee
better
;
and
admit
them
into
thy
fellowship
,
whome
thou
maist
reclame
from
vice
vnto
vertue
.
For
it
is
behoouefull
to
marke
what
companie
one
vseth
,
and
who
are
his
dailie
companions
.
For
,
as
by
the
familiaritie
of
wicked
men
,
we
are
infected
,
as
with
a
certaine
contagion
:
so
by
dailie
acquaintance
of
the
godlie
and
vertuous
,
we
are
in
manner
corrected
and
amended
.
Seeke
therefore
the
amitie
and
friendship
of
these
men
;
but
haue
no
dealing
at
all
with
those
.
Salomon
in
his
Prouerbes
commaundeth
the
same
thing
.
Yea
,
and
Paule
writing
vnto
the
Corinthians
,
doth
so
dehort
vs
from
liuing
,
and
hauing
to
deale
with
the
wicked
,
that
he
would
not
haue
vs
so
much
as
to
eate
and
drinke
with
them
.
If
anie
,
saith
he
,
that
is
called
a
brother
,
be
a
fornicator
,
or
couetous
,
or
an
idolater
,
or
a
railer
,
or
a
dronkard
,
or
an
extortioner
,
with
such
one
eate
not
.
I
graunt
,
diuers
other
causes
there
be
,
why
he
would
haue
such
to
be
auoided
,
either
because
we
maie
seeme
in
no
sort
to
allowe
the
sinnes
and
wickednes
of
these
men
;
or
that
such
whome
all
men
doo
so
auoide
and
shun
,
through
shame
of
the
world
,
maie
repent
.
Notwithstanding
,
it
is
not
the
least
cause
,
that
the
contagion
of
wickednes
doo
not
redound
vnto
such
,
as
are
ioined
vnto
them
in
friendship
.
For
,
as
a
litle
leauen
maketh
a
great
heape
of
doa
to
swel
;
so
the
example
of
one
wicked
man
doth
corrupt
and
infect
a
great
many
.
And
although
it
be
hard
and
verie
difficult
,
to
for
sake
their
acquaintance
and
familiaritie
,
with
whome
a
man
merelie
,
a
long
time
,
&
iocundlie
hath
liued
:
yet
earnestlie
thou
must
endeuor
,
and
labour
with
carefulnes
by
all
meanes
to
depart
,
and
plucke
thy selfe
from
their
companie
.
If
thou
but
from
thine
heart
once
minde
the
same
,
without
doubt
thou
wilt
finde
better
successe
then
thou
art
ware
of
.
And
for
so
much
as
,
according
to
the
Greeke
prouerbe
,
The
beginning
is
as
good
as
halfe
:
and
,
as
Horace
doth
write
,
He
which
hath
begunne
,
hath
halfe
done
:
set
vpon
the
same
at
the
least
,
and
despaire
not
of
the
successe
through
consideration
of
the
difficultie
.
Now
,
as
commonlie
it
falleth
out
,
if
thou
thinke
of
the
bankets
,
the
feastinges
,
the
reare-suppers
,
the
reuelinges
,
and
such
like
fond
and
childish
things
which
thou
hast
vsed
with
them
;
and
if
thou
against
thy
will
remember
thy
companions
,
and
merrie
mates
,
call
into
thy
minde
foorthwith
the
shortnes
of
this
life
;
the
nighnes
of
death
;
the
last
iudgement
;
the
tribunall
seate
of
Christ
;
hel
fire
,
and
euerlasting
damnation
.
And
so
,
as
the
saying
is
,
Thou
shalt
driue
out
one
naile
by
the
force
of
another
.
If
these
thinges
come
into
minde
,
and
thou
thinke
thus
with
thy selfe
:
My
cup-mates
and
companions
inuite
me
vnto
them
;
their
suppers
,
dinners
,
and
potations
,
doo
allure
me
:
But
what
doo
I
?
Credite
me
,
wouldest
thou
saie
but
thus
much
with
thy selfe
,
what
doo
I
?
foorth-with
,
both
reason
would
ouer-come
thy
lust
;
and
thy
will
would
listen
to
reason
adhorting
vnto
the
best
.
Therefore
,
as
I
saie
,
thou
must
take
a
space
to
deliberate
,
and
make
some
delaie
.
When
any
such
thing
,
by
the
suggestion
of
Satan
,
commeth
into
thy
minde
,
throwe
awaie
thy
weaknes
of
minde
,
and
loase
not
the
bridle
by
and
by
to
thy
lust
,
for
then
thou
wilt
runne
as
the
Diuel
would
haue
thee
.
Doo
thy
companions
inuite
thee
to
the
Tauerne
?
Call
thou
into
thy
remembraunce
,
what
our
Sauiour
in
a
certaine
place
doth
saie
;
Take
heede
to
your selues
,
least
at
anie
time
your
heartes
be
oppressed
with
surfetting
and
dronkennes
;
what
Paule
doth
write
,
Be
not
dronke
with
wine
,
wherein
is
excesse
;
And
,
Neither
dronkardes
,
nor
gluttons
shall
inherite
the
kingdome
of
God
:
what
Peter
saith
,
Be
sober
and
watch
;
finallie
,
what
the
Prophet
Esaie
writeth
,
Wo
vnto
them
that
rise
vp
earlie
to
follow
dronkennes
.
Remember
that
the
authoritie
of
God
,
and
of
his
Apostles
must
be
obeied
;
and
not
the
mindes
of
vngodlie
persons
followed
:
that
thou
art
to
hearken
to
thine
Angel
adhorting
thee
vnto
all
goodnes
;
and
not
to
obeie
the
Diuel
,
pricking
thee
forward
vnto
wickednes
;
finallie
,
that
thou
must
resist
the
euil
spirit
,
and
not
grieue
the
holie
Ghost
.
Wherefore
doo
not
thou
,
I
saie
;
doo
not
thou
destroie
thy selfe
,
for
the
sweete
companie
of
thy
cup-mates
;
but
so
much
as
in
the
lieth
,
withdrawe
thy selfe
from
their
familiaritie
;
and
make
thou
more
accoumpt
of
euerlasting
saluation
,
then
of
a
litle
short
pleasure
.

A
remedie
against
the
last
cause
,
which
holdeth
men
from
repentance
,
entreated
of
before
in
the
ninth
Chapter
.
NOw
to
prescribe
a
remedie
for
the
last
cause
,
thinke
alwaie
with
thy selfe
,
that
he
vnfeinedlie
doth
not
repent
,
neither
that
he
either
is
,
or
maie
be
counted
a
true
Christian
,
that
goeth
on
forward
in
wickednes
;
neither
that
he
hath
true
faith
,
which
continueth
in
sinne
against
his
conscience
,
and
committeth
any
outragious
wickednes
.
Let
vs
not
then
be
Christians
in
name
onlie
,
being
farre
from
the
nature
;
neither
let
vs
in
wordes
boast
of
faith
:
but
let
vs
trulie
and
vnfeinedlie
repent
,
turne
vnto
the
Lord
with
our
whole
heart
,
and
reforme
our
sinfull
conuersation
by
wel
doing
:
yea
,
let
vs
studie
by
good
workes
to
blot
our
wickednes
as
it
were
out
of
the
minde
of
God
,
and
through
hope
of
Gods

Furthermore

beg
we
of

Father
,
through
our
Lord
and
sauiour
Christ
,
that
he
would
impart
vpon

which
maie
rule

and
quicken

according
as
Christ
hath
promised
in

Gospel
,
that
our
heauenlie
Father
wil
giue
the
holie
ghost
,
to
them
which
aske
it
at
his
handes
.
And
yet
in
the
meane
while
let
vs
not
resist
the
holie
Ghost
,
by
yeelding
to
wicked
affections
contrarie
to
our
conscience
;
neither
yet
expel
and
grieue
him
,
to
vse
the
wordes
of
Paule
.
Let
vs
walke
in
newnes
of
life
,
not
insinfulnes
;
Let
vs
giue
vp
our
bodies
a
l●ing
sacrifice
,
holie
,
acceptable
vnto
God
;
let
vs
crucifie
the
flesh
with
the
affections
,
and
the
lustes
thereof
;
let
vs
keepe
our selues
vnspotted
of
the
world
;
Let
vs
be
renued
in
the
spirite
of
our
minde
,
and
put
on
the
newe
man
,
which
after
God
is
created
in
righteousnes
,
and
true
holines
;
Be
we
followers
of
God
,
as
deare
children
;
and
walke
we
worthie
of
the
Lord
,
as
it
becommeth
Saintes
,
supporting
one
another
through
loue
,
endeuoring
to
keepe
the
vnitie
of
the
spirite
,
in
the
bond
of
peace
;
let
vs
be
gentle
one
toward
another
,
and
merciful
;
let
vs
loue
our
enimies
,
blesse
them
that
curse
vs
;
doo
good
to
them
that
hate
vs
;
and
praie
for
them
that
hurt
vs
,
and
persecute
vs
.
Let
vs
giue
to
the
hungrie
meate
,
to
the
thirstie
drinke
,
to
the
needie
reliefe
,
to
the
harborles
lodging
,
cloathing
to
the
naked
;
let
vs
visit
the
sick
,
admonish
the
wanderer
,
teach
the
ignoraunt
,
councel
the
troubled
,
comfort
the
afflicted
;
let
vs
reconcile
them
which
be
at
variance
,
despise
honour
,
refuse
promotion
,
abhorre
couetousnes
;
finallie
,
let
vs
endeuor
euermore
to
tame
and
subdue
our
ingraffed
naughtines
,
together
with
wicked
affections
;
&
let
vs
not
only
,
take
heed
to
ourselues
,
least
at
anie
time
our
hearts
be
oppressed
with
surfetting
and
dronkennes
;
but
also
prepare
we
our selues
in
like
sort
vnto
praier
,
by
abstinence
and
fasting
.
And
,
among
so
manie
subtilties
and
batteringes
both
of
the
Diuel
,
the
world
,
and
the
flesh
,
let
vs
with
earnest
praier
call
for
the
helpe
of
God
,
that
we
be
neither
in
prosperitie
proude
,
nor
out
of
heart
in
aduersitie
.
What
so
euer
we
doo
,
let
vs
doo
it
to
the
glorie
of
God
;
let
no
man
seeke
his
owne
,
but
euerie
man
anothers
wealth
.
Furthermore
,
let
vs
be
such
,
as
maie
offend
no
man
;
but
rather
by
good
example
prouoke
others
vnto
godlines
and
wel-doing
.
And
last
of
all
,
let
vs
praie
continuallie
,
and
in
all
thinges
giue
thankes
;
let
vs
set
our
affection
on
thinges
which
are
aboue
,
and
not
on
thinges
which
are
on
the
earth
.
These
be
hard
thinges
,
thou
saist
.
I
know
that
;
yet
meete
for
Christians
,
and
necessarie
to
saluation
.
Let
vs
then
giue
dilligence
,
to
cast
awaie
this
nicenes
of
minde
;
let
vs
not
pamper
our selues
so
as
we
doo
;
neither
veeld
to
our
weaknes
;
nor
finallie
,
of
purpose
make
the
grace
of
God
in
vaine
to
vs-ward
.
Let
vs
not
onlie
,
not
wittinglie
run
headlong
into
wickednes
;
but
stoutlie
beside
resist
the
Diuel
,
when
he
driueth
vs
to
sinne
,
and
neuer
cowardlie
let
vs
yeeld
vnto
him
.
And
so
what
is
there
so
grieuous
,
but
thou
wilt
iudge
it
light
,
so
thou
maist
attaine
vnto
euerlasting
life
,
and
heauenlie
loies
?
For
wel
and
wiselie
was
it
saide
of
Paule
,
I
count
that
the
afflictions
of
this
present
time
,
are
not
woorthie
of
the
glorie
,
that
shal
be
shewed
vnto
vs
.
Hetherto
maketh
:
The
thinges
which
eie
hath
not
seene
,
neither
eare
hath
heard
,
neither
came
into
mans
heart
,
hath
GOD
prepared
for
them
which
loue
him
.
For
how
great
a
thing
is
it
,
which
no
force
of
wordes
can
expresse
,
not
cogitations
comprehend
,
namelie
,
to
be
a
cittizen
,
and
inhabiter
of
heauen
;
the
heire
of
God
,
the
coheire
of
Christ
;
to
possesse
the
kingdome
prepared
for
the
godlie
before
the
foundations
of
the
world
;
euerlastinglie
to
behold
the
most
souereigne
good
;
to
enioie
the
most
comfortable
contemplation
of
Gods
heauenlie
countenance
;
to
abide
in
the
societie
of
Angels
;
in
the
companie
of
Saintes
;
in
the
number
of
the
righteous
;
with
continuall
Hymnes
and
Psalmes
,
together
with
all
the
holie
Angels
,
and
Patriarkes
,
and
Prophetes
,
and
Apostles
,
and
Martyrs
,
and
with
all
the

,
now
enioying
blessed
immortalitie
,
and
eternitie
,
to
praise
God
,
euen
the
fountaine
of
all
glorie
.
What
?
Are
not
all
the
miseries
and
troubles
of
this
life
,
compared
to
the
glorie
to
come
,
euen
to
be
iudged
of
no
waight
;
nor
meete
to
deserue
so
great
a
reward
as
is
appointed
for
them
;
that
in
verie
deede
we
maie
be
ashamed
of
our
nicenes
and
securitie
?
And
who
is
there
,
calling
to
remembrance
the
kingdome
of
heauen
;
euerlasting
life
;
eternall
happines
;
the
exceeding
great
and
infinite
ioie
;
the
fellowship
of
Angels
;
the
societie
of
all
the
Saints
,
which
departing
in
the
feare
of
God
,
doo
enioie
felicitie
worldes
without
end
:
I
saie
,
who
calling
these
thinges
to
remembrance
,
wil
couet
to
liue
vpon
earth
,
and
not
with
Paule
rather
,
desire
to
be
loased
,
and
deliuered
out
of
the
prison
of
the
bodie
?
Let
vs
not
then
deeme
those
thinges
hard
,
which
our
sauiour
Christ
so
often
beate
into
the
heads
of
his
,
for
the
attainment
of
this
so
vnspeakable
happines
:
especially
,
sith
contrariwise
,
they
which
obserue
not
the
commaundements
of
God
necessarie
vnto
saluation
,
are
not
onlie
bereued
of
the
felicitie
whereof
we
haue
spoken
,
but
are
cast
headlong
into
hel
among
the
damned
;
where
they
are
tormented
euerlastinglie
;
with
extreme
paines
appointed
for
the
reprobate
;
iudged
to
hel
fire
,
and
perpetuall
death
;
throwen
into
vtter
darknes
,
where
shal
be
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
;
plagued
with
most
bitter
paines
and
torments
,
which
euer
shall
endure
,
and
that
in
the
societie
and
crew
of
Diuels
and
damned
soules
,
without
all
hope
of
better
state
:
that
is
,
they
shall
continue
worldes
without
end
in
despaire
,
which
more
grieuouslie
shall
vexe
them
then
anie
torment
,
or
then
all
torments
beside
.
Now
,
whome
would
not
these
things
terrifie
from
sinning
,
as
the
feare
of
hel
;
the
paines
of
which
there
is
neither
end
,
nor
measure
:
euerlasting
death
;
vnquenchable
fire
;
vnspeakable
tormentes
;
the
fellowship
of
Diuels
;
the
societie
of
the
damned
;
horror
;
anguish
;
trembling
,
both
euerlasting
for
continuance
,
and
vnmeasurable
for
greatnes
,
such
as
neither
mans
minde
can
conceaue
,
nor
any
mouth
declare
!
I
saie
,
what
man
is
there
,
but
wil
be
terrifed
by
that
daie
of
wrath
,
as
both
the
Prophet
,
and
Paule
in
his
Epistle
vnto
the
Romanes
calleth
it
,
that
daie
of
trouble
and
heauines
,
of
destruction
and
desolation
,
of
obscuritie
and
darknes
,
of
cloudes
and
blacknes
;
at
what
time
he
wil
reward
euerie
man
according
to
his
workes
?
O
that
the
cogitation
and
memorie
of
these
things
were
continually
fresh
before
the
eies
of
the
minde
!
vndoubtedly
then
,
either
I
am
much
deceaued
,
or
men
with
more
dilligence
would
obserue
Gods
commaundements
;
they
would
study
earnestly
both
to
abstaine
from
sinne
and
wickednes
,
and
also
to
liue
vprightlie
,
and
vertuouslie
all
the
daies
of
their
life
.
Moreouer
,
what
if
here
in
this
world
vertue
sometime
be
rewarded
,
as
wickednes
,
and
il
behauiour
is
punished
?
And
to
saie
nothing
of
the
conscience
,
whereof
we
haue
spoken
at
large
in
other
bookes
,
let
vs
bring
out
those
things
which
in
a
manner
we
doo
feele
with
our
hand
,
much
more
see
with
our
eies
.
For
,
that
I
may
begin
with
the
most
vsual
vice
,
what
euils
doo
not
follow
dronkennes
and
gluttonie
?
For
,
as
he
in
the
Storie
of
the
world
doth
saie
,
Hence
commeth
palenes
of
the
face
,
hanging
cheekes
,
sore
eies
,
palsie
in
the
handes
,
ouglie
dreames
,
and
vnquiet
sleepe
in
the
night
.
Hence
proceede
stincking
breathes
,
hed-aches
,
weake
memories
,
dul
wits
.
Hence
are
ingendered
grieuous
diseases
,
as
ache
of
the
iointes
,
goutes
,
the
falling
euil
,
as
both
Phisitions
doo
affirme
,
and
dailie
examples
testifie
.
Now
,
touching
whoredome
,
how
in
this
our
age
doo
we
behold
the
same
to
be
punished
with
the
French-pocks
;
as
also
other
immoderate
venerie
with
the
palsie
;
with
the
blearednes
of
the
eies
;
with
the
quiuering
of
the
sinewes
!
As
for
luxuriousnes
,
doth
it
not
bring
manie
a
man
vnto
neede
,
and
beggerie
?
Adulterie
,
is
it
not
sometime
punished
,
and
they
which
commit
the
same
alwaies
after
infamous
?
Besides
,
the
angrie
man
,
doth
he
not
oftentimes
get
hurt
,
and
the
proude
man
hatred
?
What
shall
I
saie
of
Enuie
,
is
it
not
a
punishment
to
him
which
is
giuen
there-vnto
?
doth
it
not
eate
vp
,
and
consume
the
enuious
?
As
rightlie
did
one
saie
,
The
Sicilian
Tyrans
did
neuer
finde
,
A
greater
plage
then
enuy
to
the
mind
.
So
did
another
,
Th'
enuious
man
doth
pine
away
in
paine
,
To
see
another
florish
wel
,
and
gaine
.
Now
to
speake
of
couetousnes
,
is
it
not
euermore
tormented
,
as
with
desire
of
getting
,
so
with
feare
of
forgoing
?
For
that
which
a
couetous
man
hath
,
wil
not
content
him
:
and
that
which
he
hath
,
maketh
him
to
feare
,
least
he
loase
the
same
.
Thus
you
maie
see
,
how
that
vice
and
wickednes
are
often
punished
,
yea
,
in
this
world
.
Now
,
if
these
thinges
doo
nothing
moue
vs
,
yet
should
the
euerlasting
tormentes
of
hell
,
threatened
to
the
wicked
in
the
holie
scripture
,
stirre
vp
euerie
man
with
all
earnestnes
of
minde
to
amend
his
naughtie
life
without
delaie
,
if
we
beleeue
those
thinges
to
be
true
,
and
not
a
fable
,
which
the
holie
scripture
teacheth
,
both
of
the
eternall
life
of
the
godlie
,
and
of
the
punishment
of
the
wicked
.

What
meanes
a
godlie
man
maie
vse
,
by
the
example
of
the
Author
,
to
stirre
vp
him selfe
vnto
a
godlie
life
.
HEre
I
wil
brieflie
declare
,
if
happily
it
may
giue
occasion
to
others
in
like
sort
,
to
amend
their
life
,
what
it
is
wher
by
I
am
greatlie
incensed
,
and
set
on
fire
,
to
followe
vertue
and
godlines
.
For
thus
many
times
I
doo
reason
with
my selfe
:
What
Riuius
,
what
if
at
this
verie
instant
of
time
,
thou
shouldest
leaue
this
world
,
in
what
state
shouldest
thou
be
?
Art
thou
wel
prepared
to
die
?
For
albe
thou
reposest
thy
confidence
,
as
it
is
thy
part
to
doo
so
,
in
the
infinite
mercie
and
goodnes
of
God
,
haue
you
not
neede
for
all
that
to
stand
infeare
of
his
iustice
?
How
manie
thousandes
of
Christians
;
how
manie
young
men
,
old
men
,
of
middle
age
,
women
,
wiues
vnwedded
:
finallie
,
of
all
degrees
,
of
all
ages
,
and
of
all
kindes
,
whose
sinnes
are
neither
for
number
so
manie
,
nor
so
hainous
as
thine
,
and
yet
are
damned
to
euerlasting
tormentes
?
O
horrible
iudgement
of
God
,
yet
a
righteous
iudgement
.
How
manie
Iewes
are
in
hel
;
how
manie
Idolaters
are
punished
with
perpetuall
paines
?
The
which
had
escaped
those
paines
,
had
they
bene
conuerted
vnto
the
faith
of
Christ
,
as
we
are
through
the
goodnes
of
God
,
seeing
they
liued
farre
more
vprightlie
in
the
world
,
then
we
haue
done
?
O
cursed
ingratitude
of
ours
;
O
the
hardnes
of
our
harts
!
I
saie
,
what
if
it
were
saide
vnto
thee
,
as
it
was
saide
vnto
Ezechias
?
Put
thine
house
in
an
order
;
for
thou
shalt
die
,
and
not
liue
:
what
wouldest
thou
doo
then
?
I
thinke
thou
wouldest
craue
longer
life
,
that
thou
mightest
bewaile
thy
sinnes
,
repent
,
and
aske
God
mercie
.
Whie
then
dost
thou
not
that
daie
by
daie
,
all
thy
life
long
,
which
thou
wouldest
doo
at
such
a
point
?
By
these
cogitations
,
as
I
saie
,
I
am
woont
maruelouslie
to
be
inflamed
to
liue
well
;
to
flie
sinne
,
and
to
requite
mercie
at
Gods
hand
.
Let
others
then
,
as
like
this
woont
,
place
the
same
before
their
eies
.

How
men
should
addresse
them-selues
to
liue
well
.
THere
is
none
almost
,
but
thinketh
enimies
should
be
forgiuen
before
death
comes
;
let
him
now
then
forgiue
:
none
but
desireth
Gods
fauour
;
let
him
now
then
seeke
the
same
:
none
but
would
thinke
to
amend
his
life
;
let
him
now
then
amend
.
Finallie
,
doo
that
while
thou
liuest
,
and
art
well
,
doo
that
through
trust
in
God
,
which
thou
wouldest
wish
to
doo
at

.
That
is
,
particularlie
to
expresse
the

,
repent
continuallie
;
feare
the
Lord
vnfainedlie
;
loue
him
heartelie

trust

,
extoll
,
acknowledge
his
goodnes
;
sing
Psalmes
to
him
;
let
him
alone
be
euermore
in
thy
praiers
,
in
thy
cogitations
,
and
in
thy
desires
.
Commit
thy selfe
to
his
goodnes
,
and
submit
thy
wil
to
his
.
Follow
his
example
in
doing
wel
to
all
men
;
and
endeuor
to
be
like
him
in
louing
thine
enimies
.
Furthermore
,
be
thou
in
troubles
,
patient
;
in
peace
,
modest
;
in
thy
office
,
diligent
;
in
thy
liuing
and
apparel
,
temperate
.
Be
thou
toward
thy
neighbour
,
righteous
;
toward
the
poore
,
liberall
;
in
thy
dealing
with
others
,
milde
,
and
courteous
.
Put
vp
iniuries
,
pursue
peace
,
loue
chastitie
,
shamefastnes
,
sobrietie
;
and
in
all
thinges
shew
thy selfe
vp-right
and
vncorrupt
.
And
,
forasmuch
as
these
thinges
cannot
be
attained
by
the
onlie
power
of
nature
,
flie
thou
vnto
the
Lord
for
helpe
and
assistance
,
acknowledging
thy
weaknes
,
&
the
infirmitie
of
man
;
praie
God
both
humblie
and
continuallie
,
to
impart
vpon
thee
his
holie
spirit
,
the
which
Christ
hath
promised
,
that
the
Father
wil
giue
to
them
,
that
desire
him
.
If
therefore
thou
craue
that
the
same
spirit
maie
be
giuen
thee
of
God
,
and
shed
vpon
thee
aboundantlie
,
to
vse
the
wordes
of
S.
Paule
,
through
Iesus
Christ
,
thou
shalt
finde
that
what
thinges
of
thy selfe
thou
couldest
not
doo
,
through
him
thou
shalt
bring
to
passe
.
Onlie
be
not
thou
thine
owne
foe
;
neither
doo
thou
voluntarilie
loase
the
bridle
to
thine
affections
;
and
with
all
endeuor
looke
that
thou
feede
not
thy
wanton
humor
.
For
the
holie
Ghost
doth
not
assist
cowards
,
sluggardes
,
and
such
as
idlelie
sit
with
their
armes
folded
together
;
but
those
which
worke
,
and
labour
earnestlie
to
tame
their
natural
wickednes
;
yea
,
he
deemeth
such
worthie
his
aide
,
which
continuallie
doo
striue
with
the
wicked
affections
of
the
minde
.
Let
vs
not
then
doo
as
that
countrie-man
did
,
as
the
tale
is
,
who
,
his
cart
sticking
fast
in
the
myte
,
cried
vnto
God
for
helpe
,
but
stoode
idlelie
him-selfe
and
would
not
helpe
at
all
.
Aboue
all
,
be
thou
terrified
from
sinning
,
and
stirred
vnto
a
godlie
life
,
through
the
presence
both
of
God
,
who
euerie
,
and
no
waie
can
be
auoided
;
and
of
his
holie
Angel
,
thy
keeper
,
and
guider
,
yea
,
and
the
beholder
,
and
witnes
of
all
thy
doinges
.
Now
,
if
thou
wouldest
for
no
good
,
that
anie
man
should
come
in
,
when
thou
art
committing
anie
fowle
,
and
dishonest
fact
:
how
much
more
oughtest
thou
to
abstaine
there-from
through
reuenence
and
shame
of
God
,
and
his
Angel
?
Fearest
thou
to
haue
man
priuie
to
thy
fact
:
and
art
thou
not
afraide
in
the
presence
of
God
,
whose
eies
beholding
all
thinges
no
man
can
escape
,
to
commit
that
,
which
thou
wouldest
not
doo
in
the
sight
of
man
!
Especially
,
seeing
he
one
daie
shall
be
thy
Iudge
,
which
now
beholdeth
whatsoeuer
thou
doest
!
A
certaine
Philosopher
councelleth
vs
,
So
to
liue
,
as
though
we
liued
in
the
sight
of
all
men
:
so
to
thinke
as
though
one
might
behold
the
most
secrete
cogitation
of
the
heart
.
Againe
,
saith
he
,
So
doo
all
thinges
,
as
though
some
man
sawe
thee
.
It
is
doubtles
good
to
appoint
a
keeper
ouer
thy selfe
;
to
haue
one
vpon
whome
thou
maist
looke
backe
,
whome
thou
maist
suppose
is
priuie
to
all
thy
cogitations
.
A
great
part
of
wickednes
is
left
vndone
,
if
one
be
present
when
a
man
is
about
to
sinne
.
Thus
councelleth
an
Ethnike
,
which
I
would
haue
euerie
man
suppose
to
be
spoken
to
him-selfe
.
If
therefore
thou
enterprise
any
thing
which
is
filthie
and
wicked
,
before
thou
goest
about
the
same
,
thus
reason
with
thy selfe
:
what
is
that
I
doo
?
Shall
I
commit
that
in
the
sight
of
God
,
which
for
my
life
I
would
not
haue
any
man
to
know
?
Should
I
driue
awaie
the
Angel
appointed
to
ouer-looke
me
by
this
crime
:
which
would
not
loase
the
friendship
of
a
mortall
man
?
Shall
I
grieue
the
holie
spirit
;
to
make
the
euil
spirit
reioice
through
my
falling
?
Hath
Christ
redeemed
me
with
his
precious
blood
,
that
voluntarilie
I
should
giue
my selfe
into
the
bondage
of
Satan
?
Hath
he
redeemed
me
from
sinne
,
to
the
end
I
should
runne
headlong
into
wickednes
?
Hath
he
therefore
made
me
an
heire
of
heauen
,
that
through
mine
owne
default
I
should
forgo
the
same
?
Where
is
now
my
zeale
to
God-ward
?
where
is
my
reuerend
feare
of
his
maiestie
?
where
is
my
faith
and
godlines
?
Is
this
the
thankes
I
giue
to
my
God
,
for
his
so
innumerable
benefites
?
Is
this
the
thankes
I
doo
yeeld
to
Christ
for
my
saluation
?
Doo
I
thus
submitte
my selfe
to
the
direction
of
the
holie
spirit
?
With
this
holines
doo
I
approch
vnto
the
Lordes
table
?
Looke
I
for
the
comming
of
Christ
after
such
a
sort
?
Shall
death
laie
hold
on
me
in
this
state
of
life
?
Shall
I
go
vnto
the
iudgement
seate
of
God
in
this
pickle
?
Shall
I
suffer
mine
affections
to
preuaile
;
the
weake
flesh
to
ouercome
;
sinne
to
raigne
in
my
bodie
?
Am
I
so
voide
of
stomacke
,
and
courage
,
that
I
can-not
resist
the
motions
of
the
minde
?
Doo
I
behold
the
better
,
and
yet
chuse
the
worser
still
?
These
and
other
thinges
(
for
who
can
recite
all
)
thinke
dailie
with
thy selfe
;
so
wilt
thou
not
easilie
doo
that
which
is
not
seemelie
.
Then
,
to
come
vnto
an
end
,
whatsoeuer
thou
goest
about
,
perswade
thy selfe
,
that
God
is
present
(
as
in
deede
he
is
)
and
beholdeth
all
thy
doinges
;
and
therfore
stand
thou
in
awe
of
him
,
and
let
the
reuerence
of
him
with-draw
thee
from
wicked
enterprises
.
For
(
as
the
Poet
saith
,
)
He
witnes
is
,
and
Iudge
also
,
He
so
doth
view
the
heart
of
man
,
That
euerie
thought
he
wel
doth
kno
,
And
him
deceaue
no
creature
can
.
This
also
wil
further
thy
zeale
to
liue
wel
,
if
continuallie
thou
thinke
with
thy selfe
,
how
thou
art
the
sonne
and
heire
of
God
,
in
the
spirituall
regeneration
,
and
,
which
is
the
greatest
honour
,
the
brother
,
and
heire
annexed
with
Christ
.
For
who
wil
not
be
inflamed
mightelie
vnto
godlines
,
and
with
a
Christian
feare
,
and
shame
abhorre
sinne
,
when
he
shall
call
into
remembraunce
,
how
that
God
is
his
Father
?
Doo
not
therefore
,
I
saie
,
doo
not
forget
this
benefite
at
anie
time
;
loue
him
,
worship
him
,
serue
him
,
honour
him
ouermore
,
who
hath
made
thee
his
sonne
by
adoption
;
and
neuer
doo
anie
thing
which
maie
displease
him
hencefoorth
.
Fulfil
thou
his
wil
,
obeie
his
commaundement
,
keepe
his
lawes
.
Thinke
with
thy selfe
,
that
not
onlie
the
participation
of
his
inheritance
;
but
also
the
imitation
of
his
vertue
and
goodnes
doth
belong
vnto
thee
:
so
that
although
thou
canst
not
by
imitation
attaine
vnto
that
singularitie
of
goodnes
which
is
in
the
Father
:
yet
endeuor
thou
earnestlie
to
come
nigh
the
same
,
and
thinke
it
a
most
shamefull
thing
to
degenerate
there-from
.
And
if
at
anie
time
vnwittinglie
thou
committest
somwhat
contrarie
to
thy
Fathers
minde
(
as
great
is
mans
frailtie
,
)
let
it
much
grieue
thine
heart
;
punish
thy selfe
therefore
,
thinke
no
paine
grieuous
enough
for
thee
,
who
hast
offended
so
mercifull
a
Father
;
and
neuer
be
quiet
in
minde
,
and
at
rest
,
til
thou
hast
recouered
thine
offence
with
greater
good
deedes
,
and
pacified
thy
Father
by
vnfained
repentance
.
So
farre
shouldest
thou
be
from
sinning
voluntarilie
,
and
from
committing
anie
sinne
against
thy
conscience
.
And
,
who
so
remembreth
howe
that
he
is
the
sonne
,
and
heire
of
God
,
the
brother
&
heire
annexed
to
Christ
,
doubtles
,
wil
be
terrified
from
sinne
and
wickednes
,
not
so
much
for
feare
of
the
last
iudgement
of
euerlasting
tormentes
,
and
of
hel
fire
,
which
neuer
wil
be
quenched
;
as
for
feare
of
displeasing
his
so
louing
Father
;
and
will
endeuour
to
liue
godlie
,
to
offend
no
man
,
after
the
example
of
the
Father
,
to
doo
well
to
all
men
,
not
so
much
in
hope
of
reward
in
heauen
,
and
of
eternall
ioie
,
as
through
a
certaine
greate
,
and
vnspeakable
loue
which
he
beareth
toward
God
the
Father
.
He
which
beleeueth
,
as
Paule
saith
,
that
his
bodie
is
the
Temple
of
the
holie
Ghost
dwelling
in
vs
,
easelie
refraineth
from
sinne
,
and
polluteth
not
him-selfe
with
filthie
lust
.
Finallie
,
who
out
of
doubt
thinketh
that
he
is
adopted
into
the
fellowship
of
Saintes
,
wil
not
neglect
to
emulate
the
vertues
of
the
Saintes
,
namelie
,
zeale
toward
God
,
and
loue
toward
man
.

The
causes
whie
we
proceede
not
in
wel
doing
,
hauing
purposed
to
liue
in
the
feare
of
God
;
with
the
remedies
for
that
infirmitie
of
man
.
BVt
,
some
wil
say
,
what
may
be
the
cause
,
whie
,
minding
some-times
to
liue
chastlie
&
soberlie
,
and
godlie
,
after
the
wil
of
God
,
we
doo
not
constantlie
fulfill
,
which
wiselie
we
purposed
?
To
aunswer
in
few
wordes
,
the
principall
cause
is
,
the
naturall
wickednes
that
is
in
vs
,
&
the
proanesse
which
we
haue
to
sinne
,
which
cleaueth
to
our
bones
and
bowels
;
that
is
to
saie
,
the
verie
flesh
that
we
beare
about
,
which
hath
a
grieuous
and
troublesome
combat
,
and
a
continuall
fight
in
a
manner
,
with
the
inner
man
,
as
witnesseth
Paul
.
So
that
we
must
resist
the
same
,
when
it
inticeth
vs
vnto
lust
,
and
filthy
pleasure
,
vnto
the
vices
of
the
throate
and
bellie
;
vnto
lasciuiousnes
and
wantonnes
,
and
vnto
other
vices
and
vnhonest
factes
:
and
furthermore
,
we
must
bridle
the
same
by
godlie
cogitations
,
exercises
,
watching
,
abstinence
,
and
also
tame
and
bring
it
vnder
by
continuall
sobrietie
and
temperance
.
This
made
our
sauiour
Christ
to
wil
vs
,
To
take
heede
,
least
at
anie
time
our
heartes
be
oppressed
with
surfetting
;
and
Paule
both
to
bid
,
that
we
be
not
dronke
with
wine
;
and
also
to
forbid
gluttonie
and
dronkennes
;
and
Peter
to
commaund
vs
,
to
watch
and
be
sober
.
With
this
we
must
ioine
continuall
praier
,
and
earnest
calling
for
the
assistance
of
God
,
without
which
all
our
endeuor
to
tame
the
flesh
,
and
to
suppresse
the
force
of
the
same
,
is
vaine
,
and
to
no
purpose
.
Now
hauing
as
wel
as
we
can
subdued
the
motions
of
the
flesh
,
there
be
moreouer
the
world
,
and
the
Diuil
,
deadlie
enimies
,
with
whome
we
haue
continual
warfare
;
for
they
wil
not
suffer
vs
to
abide
in
our
godlie
purpose
of
liuing
wel
.
For
the
world
stirreth
vnto
ambition
,
pride
,
and
riottousnes
;
vnto
anger
,
hatred
,
enuie
,
impatience
,
back-biting
;
and
ministreth
occasion
to
fall
vnto
other
vices
,
which
no
man
is
able
to
number
,
they
be
so
manie
;
it
marreth
by
euil
examples
,
and
corrupteth
with
offences
.
The
Diuel
for
his
part
neuer
ceaseth
to
bring
and
driue
man
to
contemne
the
word
of
God
;
to
mistrust
his
promises
;
to
conceaue
amisse
of
him
;
to
persist
obstinatelie
in
wickednes
;
to
blaspheme
;
to
impugne
the
knowen
truth
;
to
plaie
the
hypocrites
;
to
be
superstitious
;
idolatrous
;
and
vnto
other
infinite
and
cursed
wickednes
.
What
is
now
to
be
done
in
this
case
,
dost
thou
saie
?
Surelie
,
we
must
valiantlie
resist
these
enimies
;
we
must
take
a
courage
vnto
vs
;
and
by
earnest
&
zelous
praier
craue
the
helpe
of
God
;
through
confidence
wherof
we
should
neuer
giue
ouer
the
battel
.
Touching
which
point
,
let
vs
heare
what
S.
Paule
writeth
vnto
the
Ephesians
:
Finallie
my
brethren
,
saith
he
,
be
strong
in
the
Lord
,
and
in
the
power
of
his
might
.
Put
on
the
whole
armour
of
God
:
that
ye
may
be
able
to
stand
against
the
assaultes
of
the
Diuel
.
For
we
wrestle
not
against
flesh
and
blood
,
but
against
principallities
,
against
powers
,
against
worldlie
gouerners
,
the
princes
of
the
darknes
of
this
world
,
against
spirituall
wickednes
in
the
hie
places
.
And
by
and
by
shewing
the
armour
by
name
,
he
biddeth
vs
,
to
stand
,
our
loines
girde
with
veritie
,
hauing
on
the
breast-plate
of
righteousnes
,
taking
to
our selues
the
shield
of
faith
,
wherewith
we
maie
quench
all
the
firie
dartes
of
the
wicked
.
He
willeth
vs
to
take
the
helmet
of
saluation
,
and
the
sword
of
the
spirit
,
which
is
the
word
of
God
:
and
adhorteth
,
to
praie
alwaies
.
Thus
you
see
the
armour
,
which
we
must
vse
against
our
aduersarie
the
Diuel
,
who
intermitteth
no
daie
,
nor
houre
,
nor
yet
anie
moment
,
but
continuallie
laieth
at
vs
,
and
raungeth
about
like
a
roaring
Lion
,
seeking
whome
he
maie
deuoure
,
as
Peter
saith
.
Let
vs
therefore
hauing
on
this
armour
of
Paule
,
resist
him
valiantlie
,
and
,
he
wil
flie
from
vs
,
so
saith
Iames.
Let
vs
call
vpon
God
continually
for
helpe
;
praie
we
God
,
that
he
wil
not
leade
vs
into
tentation
;
beg
we
at
his
hand
,
to
be
deliuered
,
through
Christ
from
that
euil
,
which
is
euermore
an
enimie
to
mankinde
.
Aboue
all
,
let
vs
take
diligent
heede
,
least
wittinglie
we
rush
vpon
sinne
,
and
destruction
,
wherevnto
Sathan
driueth
vs
,
and
fauour
our
owne
weaknes
:
but
with
a
courage
,
let
vs
resist
the
Diuel
,
and
desire
of
God
the
eternall
Father
of
our
Lord
Iesu
Christ
,
that
he
would
strengthen
our
weaknes
.
And
for
so
much
as
the
Diuel
doth
not
alwaie
set
vpon
vs
openlie
,
but
some-time
secretlie
,
and
by
vndermining
,
and
often-times
(
as
one
saith
,
)
Doth
flatter
,
to
deceane
;
doth
laugh
,
to
hurt
;
and
doth
entice
vs
,
to
kil
vs
:
Let
vs
vse
diligence
,
that
we
maie
circumspectlie
auoide
the
snares
which
he
hath
set
,
and
prepared
;
and
giue
him
no
occasion
to
assaile
,
and
kil
vs
on
the
sudden
.
Where
manifest
feare
is
,
saith
Cyprian
,
the
weake
is
the
more
easelie
taken
.
Let
vs
therefore
cast
from
vs
all
sluggishnes
,
and
our
too
much
securitie
;
let
vs
feare
,
that
vnder
euerie
stone
,
as
the
common
saying
is
,
there
is
a
Scorpion
;
and
as
though
all
were
safe
,
and
at
a
good
staie
,
let
vs
not
be
secure
.
No
man
commeth
sooner
to
destruction
(
as
that
Heathen
saith
)
then
he
which
feareth
nothing
:
and
the
most
vsuall
beginning
of
miserie
,
is
securitie
.
Thinke
not
foorth-with
thou
shalt
haue
peace
,
or
that
thou
art
quit
from
all
daunger
,
if
thou
hast
once
obtained
victorie
ouer
thine
enimies
.
Thou
must
euermore
keepe
the
battel
,
and
be
readie
to
fight
:
as
well
said
Cyprian
,
In
the
world
we
are
continuallie
to
wage
battel
with
Satan
,
continuallie
we
must
fight
against
his
dartes
,
and
assaults
.
We
are
to
encounter
,
saith
he
,
with
auarice
,
with
lecherie
,
with
anger
,
with
ambition
;
we
haue
an
eger
and
continuall
fight
with
carnall
vices
,
with
the
enticementes
of
the
world
.
Hardlie
can
the
minde
of
man
go
against
euerie
one
,
with
much
a
doo
it
resisteth
,
being
besieged
,
and
round
about
inuironed
with
the
armie
of
Sathan
.
If
auarice
be
laide
flatte
on
the
ground
,
lust
riseth
vp
;
if
lust
be
quenched
,
anger
mooueth
;
pride
,
puffeth
vp
;
dronkennes
,
allureth
;
ielosie
,
parteth
friendship
,
and
so
foorth
.
And
,
as
we
ought
not
to
insult
,
if
we
get
a
conquest
:
so
must
we
not
despaire
,
or
fling
awaie
our
weapons
by
and
by
,
if
we
be
ouercome
.
What
must
we
then
doo
?
Surelie
to
recouer
our
honour
againe
,
we
must
set
vpon
our
enimie
with
more
courage
;
and
with
a
newe
power
make
amendes
for
our
former
faintnes
,
and
foile
:
after
the
example
of
that
noble
warrier
,
whome
Virgil
maketh
mention
of
,
which
being
beaten
to
the
ground
with
great
force
,
nothing
terrefied
with
the
fall
,
Went
to
the
fight
more
fierce
againe
,
which
did
his
courage
fresh
renew
:
And
shame
did
make
him
fight
amaine
,
So
did
his
prowesse
which
he
knew
.
Albeit
we
must
not
encounter
with
the
enimie
,
trusting
to
our
owne
prowesse
,
but
to
the
power
of
God
.
Thus
you
haue
the
causes
,
why
we
doo
not
persist
in
our
purpose
of
liuing
godlie
,
after
the
wil
of
God
.
For
,
as
I
saide
,
one
cause
is
,
the
wickednes
ingraffed
in
our
flesh
,
and
our
proanesse
vnto
sinne
:
another
is
the
world
,
offering
infinite
occasions
and
causes
dailie
to
offend
;
the
last
is
,
the
Diuel
who
continuallie
is
thinking
of
our
destruction
,
and
ouerslippeth
no
minute
of
time
,
either
by
open
force
,
or
by
secrete
fraude
,
to
ouercome
vs
.
O
God
,
father
of
our
Lord
and
sauiour
Christ
,
proceede
we
beseech
thee
in
helping
vs
,
in
this
hard
,
and
continuall
warre
which
we
haue
with
so
manie
enimies
;
and
for
so
much
as
of
our selues
we
are
vnable
to
resist
,
confirme
,
and
strengthen
vs
with
thy
holie
spirit
,
that
we
maie
both
represse
the
motions
of
the
flesh
,
and
neuer
be
corrupted
with
the
allurementes
of
the
same
;
and
also
valiantlie
,
resist
as
wel
the
world
offering
so
manie
occasions
continuallie
to
sinne
,
as
the
Diuel
casting
all
sorts
of
dartes
to
hurt
vs
,
and
vsing
all
meanes
to
bring
vs
to
destruction
.
And
,
that
we
maie
not
onlie
abhorre
sinne
and
wickednesse
,
through
a
seruile
feare
of
Gods
wrath
and
euerlasting
death
,
which
the
lawe
doth
bring
,
terrefying
vs
with
the
anger
and
iudgment
of
God
,
and
striking
men
with
the
terror
of
hell
:
but
also
,
and
the
more
a
great
deale
,
maie
be
crowned
through
childrens
feare
,
which
ariseth
from
faith
,
with
a
certaine
honest
shamefastnes
,
and
through
a
religious
reuerence
toward
God
,
to
commit
nothing
at
anie
time
,
which
maie
offend
our
most
louing
,
and
best
father
:
Also
which
maie
make
vs
so
of
our
owne
accord
to
doo
wel
,
and
to
flie
from
sinne
,
and
so
keepe
vs
through
loue
and
charitie
in
our
calling
,
that
when
vnwittinglie
we
shall
commit
any
offence
,
as
great
is
our
weaknes
,
it
maie
bring
such
a
sorowe
and
griefe
to
our
minde
,
that
both
we
maie
willinglie
enioine
a
punishment
to
our selues
,
and
be
loath
to
liue
;
for
that
we
haue
offended
so
merciful
,
and
gratious
a
Father
.
Finallie
,
O
eternall
Father
,
graunt
for
thy
sonne
,
our
Lord
and
sauiour
Christ
his
sake
,
that
in
such
shortnes
of
life
,
and
vncertainty
of
death
,
we
put
not
of
the
amendment
of
our
life
,
and
deferre
the
same
from
daie
to
daie
:
but
maie
with
speede
endeuour
to
returne
vnto
wel-doing
,
confessing
our
sinnes
,
and
vnfainedlie
repent
,
and
through
repentance
,
pacifie
our
heauenlie
Father
;
and
with
the
Publicane
in
the
Gospel
humblie
,
striking
our
breast
,
craue
mercie
of
God
;
and
finallie
wil
,
and
doo
those
thinges
which
are
grateful
,
and
acceptable
before
God
:
that
we
maie
amend
our
wickednes
by
wel
doing
;
reforme
vices
with
vertues
;
and
through
Gods
assistaunce
spend
the
time
which
we
haue
to

in
this

,
godlie
,
religiouslie

innocentlie

purelie
,
soberlie

temperatlie
,
to
the
profit
of
the
Church
,
the
benefit
of

and
the

;
and
that
in

we
maie
continue
euen
til

,
Amen

A
briefe
repetition
of
that
which
hath
bene
saide
;
with
a
short
conclusion
.
THus
much
I
thought
good
to
write
of
mans
foolishnes
in
putting
of
the
amendment
of
this
life
.
The
matter
which
I
haue
handled
,
hath
enforced
me
to
vtter
those
thinges
which
wil
be
as
to
the
godlie
,
comfortable
;
so
to
them
which
would
seeme
,
but
are
not
vnfained
Christians
,
vnpleasaunt
.
For
we
haue
spoken
much
,
and
aboundantlie
of
the
shortnes
,
and
vncertaintie
of
life
;
of
death
in
respect
of
vncertaine
chaunces
dailie
hanging
ouer
our
heads
,
and
many
times
dispatching
men
before
they
be
aware
;
the
which
all
good
men
doo
wish
,
and
desire
of
God
in
their
godlie
praiers
,
but
the
wicked
do
abhorre
.
Also
we
haue
spoken
of
the
generall
resurrection
,
of
the
comming
of
Christ
,
of
the
last
iudgement
,
when
all
men
shal
be
summoned
to
giue
an
accoumpt
of
their
life
spent
;
which
daie
wil
be
to
the
wicked
horrible
,
but
comfortable
to
the
godly
.
For
then
,
their
redemption
draweth
neere
;
then
is
the
time
,
as
one
said
in
the
Acts
,
of
comfort
,
and
refreshing
;
and
,
as
it
is
in
Tertullian
,
the
daie
of
Christian
triumphing
.
Furthermore
,
we
haue
told
both
what
rewards
be
appointed
for
the
godlie
,
and
what
punishmentes
ordained
for
the
wicked
.
For
the
godlie
shal
be
exalted
vp
vnto
glorie
,
and
liue
a
blessed
,
and
euerlasting
life
in
heauen
.
For
who
is
able
to
expresse
what
a
felicitie
it
wil
be
,
alwaies
to
behold
God
,
and
to
enioie
the
most
comfortable
contemplation
of
his
heauenlie
countenance
,
to
behold
him
euen
as
he
is
,
whome
now
we
doo
see
through
a
glasse
darklie
,
as
Paule
saith
!
to
abound
with
all
good
thinges
?
finallie
,
to
enioie
so
manie
pleasures
and
delightes
,
as
maie
be
neither
conceaued
in
minde
,
nor
expressed
by
wordes
?
On
the
other
side
,
the
vngodlie
shal
be
throwen
headlong
into
hel
,
to
be
afflicted
with
vnmeasurable
,
and
euerlasting
tormentes
.
No
eloquence
can
describe
by
wordes
,
nor
wit
conceaue
the
smallest
part
of
the
paines
which
the
vngodly
are
to
endure
in
hel
being
condemned
through
the
righteous
iudgement
of
God
vnto
euerlasting
fire
.
Last
of
all
,
we
haue
vttered
diuers
other
thinges
,
which
,
as
I
said
,
wil
please
the
godlie
right
wel
;
but
trouble
the
wicked
:
as
of
the
sense
of
Gods
indignation
against
sinne
;
of
casting
of
securitie
when
we
haue
the
world
at
wil
;
of
vnfained
repenting
;
of
reforming
our
manners
;
of
amending
our
liues
;
of
our
continual
fight
with
mightie
enimies
,
the
world
,
the
flesh
,
and
the
diuel
;
and
diuers
such
like
things
,
which
are
needles
to
be
repeated
in
this
place
.
Sharpe
these
are
,
and
sowre
to
blood
and
flesh
:
notwithstanding
,
as
I
am
perswaded
,
verie
profitable
.
For
,
as
one
in
Curtius
doth
saie
,
Phisitions
doo
heale
sore
maladies
,
with
sharpe
medicines
;
and
as
Cicero
writeth
vnto
Octauius
,
No
medicines
applied
vnto
wounds
,
doo
so
grieue
,
as
they
which
are
most
wholsome
.
Now
the
eternall
God
,
father
of
our
Lord
and
sauiour
Christ
,
giue
grace
,
that
this
our
booke
,
how
so
euer
it
be
written
,
maie
in
this
corrupt
and
wretched
world
,
yet
some-what
keepe
the
godlie
in
their
calling
,
and
confirme
them
in
wel-doing
;
if
anie
of
zeale
,
and
wel-liking
thereof
shall
reade
the
same
:
furthermore
,
that
it
maie
offer
some
occasion
to
the
wicked
,
to
reform
them-selues
;
and
that
the
salue
which
is
here
prescribed
to
such
as
are
sicke
,
and
almost
past
recouerie
,
maie
haue
strength
to
helpe
and
heale
them
.
This
he
graunt
,
without
whose
helpe
,
all
the
labour
of
man
is
vaine
,
and
to
no
purpose
,
euen
God
almighty
,
and
most
righteous
,
to
whome
be
all
praise
,
honour
,
and
glorie
,
now
,
and
for
euermore
,
Amen
.
