Know
yee
not
that
a
Prince
and
a
great
man
is
fallen
this
day
in
Israel
?
WEE
reade
before
in
this
chapter
,
that
King
Saul
being
dead
,
there
was
great
warre
betweene
Ishbosheth
and
Dauid
for
the
Crowne
:
Ishbosheth
claymed
it
as
sonne
to
King
Saul
:
Dauid
did
challenge
it
as
anoynted
by
Samuel
,
and
appointed
by
God
.
Abner
Generall
for
Saul
his
house
,
being
rebuked
by
Ishbosheth
for
going
in
to
his
fathers
concubine
,
tooke
it
very
indignely
,
and
threatned
to
forsake
Ishosheth
and
to
vnite
himselfe
to
Dauid
,
for
which
purpose
he
sendeth
messengers
to
Dauid
to
make
a
couenant
with
him
:
Dauid
being
a
wise
King
aswell
as
a
godly
man
,
thought
it
no
〈…〉
neglect
such
〈◊〉
opportunity
,
and
therefore
he
doth
embrace
Abners
loue
,
he
entertayneth
him
royally
,
and
dismisseth
him
peaceably
.
After
this
,
Ioab
Dauids
Generall
comming
to
the
Court
,
and
whether
out
of
malice
,
because
Abner
had
slaine
his
brother
Asael
,
or
out
of
ambition
,
fearing
that
Abner
might
haue
his
command
,
or
out
of
affection
to
Dauid
,
being
his
nephew
,
hee
is
very
angry
,
and
telleth
Dauid
that
Abner
came
but
as
a
spy
to
watch
Dauids
going
in
and
going
out
,
and
therefore
it
was
not
wisedome
in
Dauid
to
suffer
Abner
to
depart
from
him
and
when
he
had
done
speaking
to
the
King
,
he
hastneth
after
Abner
,
who
comming
to
Ioab
,
mistrusting
no
euill
,
was
,
vnder
pretence
of
friendship
,
most
treacherously
killed
by
Ioab
.
This
murder
so
odious
in
the
sight
of
God
and
man
,
doth
astonish
Dauid
:
for
now
Beniamin
and
all
Sauls
Alies
are
likely
to
hate
Dauid
perpetually
,
yea
his
owne
seruants
and
kindred
haue
great
cause
to
suspect
Dauids
tyranny
:
wherefore
Dauid
,
to
cleare
himselfe
from
so
foule
a
blot
,
First
,
he
detesteth
the
fact
.
Secondly
,
he
wisheth
a
curse
vpon
Ioab
and
his
posterity
for
the
same
.
Thirdly
,
he
causeth
his
Nobles
to
lament
,
and
himselfe
followeth
Abners
corps
to
the
graue
;
he
weepeth
,
and
hee
bewaileth
his
death
:
and
hee
sayth
,
Know
yee
not
,
that
a
Prince
,
and
a
great
man
is
fallen
this
day
in
Israel
?
In
which
words
three
things
are
obseruable
.
First
,
that
there
is
a
difference
and
a
degree
betweene
man
and
man
,
in
this
title
giuen
to
Abner
,
a
Prince
,
and
a
great
man
.
Secondly
,
that
Princes
and
great
men
are
subiect
to
mortality
:
A
Prince
,
and
a
great
man
is
fallen
this
day
in
Israel
.
Thirdly
,
notice
is
more
especially
to
be
taken
of
such
mens
deaths
,
Know
yee
,
&
c
?
For
the
first
:
this
difference
of
man
and
man
,
is
not
in
respect
of
our
Creator
,
nor
in
respect
of
our
first
earthly
father
,
nor
in
respect
of
our
matter
,
for
wee
are
all
made
of
the
same
earth
:
but
it
is
in
regard
of
the
vse
and
seruice
of
men
in
a
ciuill
state
,
for
parity
breedeth
confusion
both
in
Church
and
Common-wealth
,
and
God
is
the
God
of
order
.
See
this
in
vnreasonable
creatures
:
The
Bees
haue
in
the
Hiue
a
master-Bee
,
whom
they
obserue
and
follow
:
the
Cranes
march
forth
in
orderly
array
:
yea
,
among
the
diuels
there
is
a
superiority
and
an
order
,
for
Belsebub
is
the
Prince
of
them
,
Acts
17.11
.
There
are
Nobles
:
these
were
Noblemen
,
and
there
is
a
degree
in
Nobility
:
These
were
more
noble
men
then
those
of
Thessalonica
:
For
better
vnderstanding
this
poynt
,
obserue
foure
sorts
of
Nobilitie
.
The
first
is
naturall
,
which
is
by
birth
,
descending
from
ancient
progenitors
,
and
God
promiseth
Abraham
,
that
Kings
shall
come
out
of
his
loynes
.
I
,
but
the
old
Stoickes
obiect
,
Nature
is
alike
to
all
,
she
is
a
stepdame
to
none
:
are
not
all
borne
alike
into
the
world
?
are
not
all
subiect
alike
to
casualties
in
the
world
?
and
doe
not
all
dye
and
go
alike
out
of
the
world
?
where
is
then
any
inequality
?
Likewise
the
new
Switzers
say
,
God
did
not
make
two
Adams
,
one
of
siluer
to
beget
Gentlemen
,
another
of
earth
to
beget
common
people
:
Coates
,
and
Crests
,
notos
magis
facit
quàm
nobiles
:
they
make
men
rather
knowne
then
noble
.
No
more
for
shame
:
let
not
that
sin
rule
among
vs
which
Esay
speakes
of
,
That
the
vile
presume
against
the
honourable
:
They
are
,
me
thinketh
,
as
Esdras
the
1.
booke
the
3.
chapter
saith
,
the
words
of
men
in
wine
,
who
neuer
remember
their
King
,
nor
their
Gouernours
:
doubtlesse
,
it
is
a
great
blessing
of
God
,
to
be
borne
of
honourable
parents
:
for
Christ
himselfe
,
though
he
liued
so
poore
,
as
the
Foxes
had
holes
,
and
the
birds
of
the
ayre
had
nests
,
but
he
had
not
where
to
lay
his
head
:
yet
he
would
not
be
borne
base
,
he
would
bee
borne
a
Gentle
man
,
he
was
of
the
blood
Royall
,
and
true
heyre
to
the
Crowne
of
Iudah
:
for
hee
descended
from
the
linage
of
Dauid
according
to
the
flesh
.
In
metals
of
the
same
kinde
(
which
Plato
resembleth
to
the
soule
of
man
)
some
are
farre
purer
then
are
others
:
In
plants
there
is
a
great
difference
of
seeds
and
branches
:
Est
in
iunencis
,
est
in
equis
patrum
virtus
Fortes
creantur
fortibus
et
bonis
.
If
a
man
haue
a
Horse
,
hee
esteemeth
him
better
,
according
to
the
sire
and
damme
he
commeth
from
.
Euen
so
among
men
,
it
doth
often
much
auayle
from
what
stocke
they
descend
:
and
the
Scriptures
call
men
nobly
borne
,
The
famous
of
the
congregation
,
The
worthies
of
the
land
,
The
glory
of
the
Kingdome
,
The
strength
of
Israel
:
and
it
was
one
high
degree
of
sorrow
in
Iudah
her
captiuity
,
that
her
nobles
were
slayne
.
But
Generatio
optima
,
corruptio
pessima
,
best
things
corrupted
,
proue
the
worst
:
Angels
,
if
they
fall
,
doe
become
deuils
:
and
Gentlemen
,
if
they
degenerate
,
become
the
vtter
ruine
of
the
Church
and
Common-wealth
,
they
are
as
so
many
Lucifers
fallen
from
heauen
:
Hence
we
doe
learne
,
not
with
the
Iewes
to
boast
we
haue
Abraham
to
our
Father
,
not
to
stand
so
much
vpon
the
blood
wee
haue
,
as
vpon
the
good
we
doe
.
It
little
benefiteth
a
foule
riuer
to
flow
from
a
cleare
spring
.
It
is
small
comfort
for
a
blind
man
,
to
say
his
father
could
see
well
:
it
is
no
reputation
for
a
deboshed
liuer
,
to
say
that
he
is
nobly
descended
.
If
we
be
the
children
of
Abraham
,
let
vs
doe
the
workes
of
Abraham
:
and
the
better
we
are
borne
,
the
better
wee
must
liue
.
Noblemen
must
be
like
trees
planted
by
the
riuers
of
water
,
which
bring
forth
their
fruit
in
due
season
,
that
their
leafe
may
not
fall
,
nor
their
name
perish
from
the
face
of
the
earth
.
The
second
kinde
of
Gentry
is
Ciuill
nobility
,
which
is
by
riches
;
shining
in
the
goods
of
fortune
.
Hence
Symonides
esteemed
those
to
bee
noble
,
which
in
a
long
course
of
time
,
were
descended
from
wealthy
progenitors
:
and
though
it
often
fall
out
true
,
diuites
in
arca
,
pauperes
in
conscientia
:
Men
rich
in
the
cofers
,
are
poore
in
the
conscience
:
yet
are
riches
reckoned
a
part
of
nobility
.
First
,
because
they
make
it
popular
.
Secondly
,
because
riches
are
the
instruments
by
which
vertue
and
Gentry
are
or
may
bee
maintayned
.
Lastly
,
because
being
gotten
,
they
serue
as
meanes
for
vertue
and
gentry
to
manfiest
themselues
in
action
:
yet
bee
not
proud
of
wealth
,
and
thinke
not
because
thou
art
rich
,
that
therefore
thou
must
bee
honoured
:
this
is
to
make
men
idolaters
,
to
worship
a
golden
Calfe
,
or
a
siluer
Asse
.
Riches
,
sayth
Bonauenture
,
are
but
as
a
dogge
following
two
men
which
walke
together
,
so
long
as
the
men
are
together
,
you
cannot
discerne
to
whom
the
dogge
belongeth
,
but
let
them
part
,
and
then
the
dogge
will
follow
his
true
master
:
so
,
while
man
and
the
world
liue
together
,
wee
doe
imagine
riches
belongeth
to
the
man
,
but
if
the
man
leaue
the
world
,
then
riches
serues
him
but
a
dogged
tricke
,
and
as
the
man
did
come
naked
into
the
world
,
so
his
executors
will
bee
sure
hee
shall
goe
naked
out
of
the
world
,
hee
shall
onely
haue
his
winding-sheete
.
A
man
throweth
a
stone
into
the
water
,
which
begetteth
circle
vpon
circle
,
and
euery
one
bigger
then
other
,
yet
suddenly
they
all
vanish
away
:
so
is
it
with
riches
,
they
are
quickely
gone
.
As
a
bird
hoppeth
heere
,
and
there
,
and
no
man
knoweth
where
she
will
light
:
so
is
it
in
getting
riches
,
which
haue
wings
like
an
Eagle
,
to
flye
away
,
Luke
12.
Thou
foole
,
this
night
shall
thy
soule
be
taken
from
thee
,
and
then
whose
shall
all
thy
goods
bee
?
Striue
not
thou
so
much
to
bee
rich
in
wealth
,
as
to
be
rich
in
fayth
.
He
in
Plutarch
which
had
a
golden
shoo
,
sayd
:
I
,
but
no
man
knoweth
how
it
wringeth
me
:
so
,
to
haue
a
golden
purse
,
and
a
galled
conscience
,
will
make
all
ioy
and
honour
to
bee
but
a
dreame
at
the
last
.
The
world
is
as
the
sea
,
men
as
fishers
,
things
as
fishes
,
none
can
tell
what
he
catcheth
,
till
his
net
come
out
of
the
water
:
neyther
can
we
tell
vntill
we
are
dead
,
what
will
become
of
our
soules
:
then
lay
up
thy
treasure
in
heauen
,
and
not
in
earthly
possessions
.
Purse-nobility
,
though
it
glitter
in
the
eyes
of
worldlings
,
yet
it
is
seated
in
the
hands
of
fortune
,
quae
vitrea
est
,
sayth
Seneca
,
a
very
brittle
she
friend
:
See
in
Haman
,
to
day
the
Kings
onely
Fauourite
,
yet
to
morrow
hanged
.
See
in
Gellinor
that
puissant
Prince
of
the
Vandals
,
yet
driuen
so
low
,
as
hee
begged
a
loafe
of
bread
to
slake
his
hunger
,
a
spunge
to
dry
vp
his
teares
,
and
an
harpe
to
solace
him
in
his
misery
.

Henry
the
fourth
,
a
rich
and
a
victorious
Emperour
,
he
had
fought
fifty
two
pitched
battels
in
the
fields
,
yet
hee
was
driuen
to
that
exigent
,
as
hee
begged
a
Prebend
in
the
Church
of
Spira
to
mainetayne
himselfe
,
and
could
not
obtaine
it
,
no
,
not
of
that
Bishop
whom
himselfe
had
preferd
:
but
hee
answered
,
Per
corpus
Francisci
non
habebis
:
By
St.
Francis
thou
shalt
not
haue
it
.
Therefore
labour
to
bee
rich
in
grace
:
For
,
not
many
rich
,
not
many
noble
,
but
God
hath
chosen
the
poore
in
this
world
to
bee
rich
in
fayth
,
and
heires
of
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
.
The
third
kinde
of
Nobility
is
morall
,
which
a
man
doth
purchase
by
vertue
,
and
good
liuing
.
Socrates
asked
what
nobility
was
?
sayd
,
Est
animi
corporisque
temperantia
:
It
is
a
good
composure
,
and
temperature
of
the
minde
and
body
.
Aristotle
esteemed
him
a
Gentleman
,
which
accounted
it
a
glory
to
giue
,
and
a
staine
to
his
honour
to
take
.
And
Plato
sayd
he
was
gentle
,
which
is
adorned
with
his
owne
,
not
with
others
vertues
:
so
thou
to
be
truely
generous
,
is
to
be
in
life
and
behauiour
well
gouerned
,
disdayning
to
become
subiect
to
vice
,
or
to
be
infected
with
bad
manners
,
to
be
iust
and
faythfull
in
promise
,
patient
in
suffering
wrong
,
apt
to
pardon
iniuries
without
reuenge
,
milde
in
countenance
,
courteous
in
speech
,
sober
in
carriage
.
Nobles
may
not
be
like
the
noblest
trees
,
for
they
are
the
most
barren
,
or
without
good
fruite
,
as
the
Oake
,
the
Beech
,
the
Laurell
,
the
Myrtle
.
They
must
not
be
like
beasts
,
whereof
the
noblest
are
the
cruellest
:
neyther
are
they
true
vertues
of
nobility
,
such
as
in
these
dayes
are
vsed
,
as
to
dice
well
,
to
drinke
well
,
to
waste
lauishly
,
and
to
wanton
it
ventrously
:
this
is
the
way
to
bring
ruine
to
your selues
,
for
Now
as
the
axe
layde
to
the
roote
of
the
tree
,
euery
tree
which
bringeth
not
forth
good
fruit
,
is
hewne
downe
&
cast
into
the
fire
:
and
these
courses
will
bring
ruine
to
your
posterity
:
for
the
seed
of
the
wicked
shall
not
bee
renowned
for
euer
.
This
morall
nobility
acquired
by
vertue
,
is
like
Abishai
one
of
Dauids
Worthies
,
he
was
the
worthiest
of
three
:
so
this
excelleth
the
other
two
:
but
if
we
compare
it
with
diuine
Nobility
,
it
is
but
as
Ioseph
to
Pharao
,
the
second
in
the
Kingdome
.
The
fourth
nobility
is
diuine
,
to
be
a
true
Christian
,
to
be
a
new
creature
.
St.
Paul
a
Iew
,
was
a
Citizen
of
Rome
,
a
Pharise
,
a
great
Rabbi
,
brought
vp
at
the
foote
of
Gamaliel
,
of
the
Tribe
of
Beniamin
,
and
circumcised
the
eyghth
day
:
being
a
Christian
,
he
was
rap't
vp
into
the
third
heauen
,
yet
he
did
esteeme
all
as
doung
,
in
comparison
of
being
a
new
creature
in
Christ
Iesus
:
for
then
to
bee
the
true
seruants
of
God
,
exceedeth
all
other
honour
in
the
world
:
Therefore
after
Moses
was
dead
,
God
sayd
to
Ioshua
,
Moses
my
seruant
is
dead
.
If
God
had
so
much
regarded
worldly
titles
,
hee
might
haue
termed
him
another
Noah
:
for
as
when
all
the
World
was
drowned
in
the
Flood
,
onely
Noah
&
his
family
were
preserued
aliue
in
the
Arke
.
Euen
so
,
when
Pharaoh
commanded
all
the
male
children
of
Israel
to
bee
drowned
in
the
riuer
,
there
was
onely
Moses
preserued
aliue
in
a
basket
.
God
might
haue
called
him
another
Enoch
,
for
as
Enoch
walked
with
God
,
and
was
translated
from
men
:
euen
so
Moses
went
into
the
mountayne
Nebo
,
to
the
toppe
of
Pisgah
,
and
was
neuer
seene
more
of
men
.
God
might
haue
called
him
the
familiar
Prophet
,
one
which
spake
to
God
face
to
face
,
but
all
this
layd
aside
,
God
onely
sayth
:
Moses
my
seruant
is
dead
:
to
shew
vs
,
that
to
be
a
true
Christian
,
and
to
serue
God
,
is
most
honourable
,
yea
to
bee
Gods
seruant
,
is
a
Title
most
durable
:
for
if
any
aske
mee
what
was
great
Alexander
?
I
answere
,
that
while
hee
liued
,
hee
was
a
valiant
Monarch
,
one
which
did
conquer
the
Easterne
parts
of
the
world
:
but
if
you
aske
me
what
Alexander
is
now
?
I
say
,
hee
is
a
damned
[
*
](A10904-e11740-b)
*
This
is
sayd
according
to
the
Tenent
,
Without
the
Church
is
no
saluation
.
As
for
Gods
secret
Councell
,
wee
may
not
dare
for
to
meddle
with
it
.
soule
in
hell
.
But
if
you
aske
me
,
what
was
Abraham
?
I
answere
,
Abraham
,
while
hee
liued
,
was
the
father
of
the
faythfull
,
and
now
he
is
dead
,
he
still
is
and
euer
will
bee
Gods
faythfull
seruant
in
heauen
.
In
diuine
nobility
,
wilt
thou
know
thy
pedegree
,
and
thy
kindred
?
Then
know
,
God
is
thy
Father
,
Christ
Iesus
is
thy
brother
,
the
Holy
Ghost
is
thy
preseruer
,
the
blessed
Angels
thy
attendants
,
thy
foode
is
more
precious
then
Manna
,
for
it
is
the
bread
of
life
which
came
from
heauen
,
of
which
he
that
eateth
,
shall
neuer
hunger
,
not
thirst
any
more
.
Alexander
the
great
,
had
a
monster
brought
forth
,
whose
vpper
parts
had
a
manshead
,
and
brest
,
but
these
were
dead
:
but
the
lower
parts
were
full
of
monsters
of
all
kinds
,
and
these
were
liuing
:
this
,
sayd
the
Southsayers
,
did
foretell
the
death
of
Alexander
:
So
is
it
in
noble
houses
.
The
head
with
a
mans
face
and
brest
,
is
religion
:
If
this
bee
dead
,
then
nothing
but
all
monstrous
sins
will
appeare
,
which
will
bring
ruine
and
destruction
to
all
honourable
families
:
Wherefore
let
me
labour
to
stir
you
vp
to
be
diuinely
noble
,
and
to
become
true
Christians
:
and
because
our
meeting
is
to
doe
honour
to
a
worthy
Souldier
,
and
to
a
braue
Commander
,
giue
mee
leaue
to
vse
for
this
purpose
some
few
examples
drawne
from
military
discipline
.
First
,
Souldiers
in
the
field
may
not
vse
their
weapons
as
they
will
,
but
as
they
are
commanded
.
The
Musketeere
must
not
discharge
when
he
listeth
,
but
when
the
Officer
bringeth
him
vp
and
sayth
,
Present
fire
:
so
likewise
the
Cannoneere
.
In
our
spirituall
warfare
,
Christ
is
our
Generall
,
wee
are
his
souldiers
to
fight
vnder
his
banner
,
our
weapons
are
our
soules
with
their
faculties
,
and
our
bodies
with
their
members
,
and
these
must
bee
vsed
as
God
commandeth
,
not
as
wee
desire
.
Our
vnderstanding
must
know
God
aright
,
our
will
must
chuse
what
is
good
,
our
affections
must
loue
God
aboue
all
:
and
for
our
bodies
,
wee
must
not
abuse
them
to
performe
the
lusts
of
the
flesh
:
or
make
them
brewers
horses
to
beare
much
quantity
of
wine
and
beere
:
but
Wee
must
giue
vp
our
members
weapons
of
righteousnesse
to
true
holinesse
:
our
tongues
must
prayse
God
,
or
pray
to
God
:
our
eyes
must
not
looke
on
strange
women
to
lust
after
them
:
our
eares
must
heare
Gods
Word
:
our
taste
must
eate
Christs
flesh
,
and
drinke
his
blood
,
in
the
blessed
Eucharist
:
our
hands
must
relieue
the
poore
:
our
feete
must
carry
vs
into
Gods
Temple
,
and
to
visit
the
sicke
and
such
as
are
in
misery
:
In
one
word
,
wee
must
offer
vp
our
soules
and
our
bodies
a
liuing
sacrifice
,
holy
,
acceptable
to
God
,
which
is
our
reasonable
seruing
of
God
.
Secondly
,
Souldiers
execute
what
the
Commander
willeth
,
without
arguing
and
asking
why
they
should
doe
so
:
as
let
the
Generall
send
to
such
a
Collonell
to
enter
such
a
breach
,
to
make
good
such
a
place
,
he
presently
obeyeth
,
for
they
know
that
the
Generall
his
office
is
for
direction
:
the
Officers
and
Souldiers
duty
is
,
to
put
his
direction
into
execution
.
Euen
so
,
looke
what
our
Generall
Christ
hath
commanded
in
his
Word
,
that
must
we
execute
,
without
discussing
by
our
naturall
reason
,
as
did
Abraham
in
offring
vp
Isaack
,
and
as
the
Iewes
sayd
vnto
Moses
,
Whatsoeuer
the
Lord
commandeth
,
that
will
we
doe
.
Euen
so
,
let
vs
rather
dye
,
then
not
performe
all
God
willeth
and
commandeth
vs
to
doe
.
Thirdly
,
Souldiers
which
beleager
a
Towne
,
vse
two
kinde
of
stratagems
.
First
,
they
make
themselues
masters
of
the
riuers
,
they
cut
off
all
springs
of
water
which
succour
the
Towne
,
they
enquarter
themselues
and
blocke
vp
the
Towne
,
so
that
no
reliefe
of
Ammunition
,
of
Victuall
,
or
of
men
,
shall
any
way
relieue
the
Towne
.
Euen
so
must
we
doe
:
sinne
is
our
great
enemy
:
then
take
heed
that
we
take
away
from
the
strength
of
sinne
,
and
flee
sinne
and
all
occasion
of
sinne
:
Adde
not
to
our
originall
corruption
,
euill
thoughts
,
euill
words
or
euill
deeds
.
If
any
man
had
two
swords
,
and
being
to
fight
with
his
enemy
,
should
lend
him
one
:
this
were
the
next
way
to
haue
his
throat
cut
with
his
owne
sword
.
Hence
euery
one
coueteth
to
disarme
his
enemy
:
so
must
not
wee
adde
sinne
to
sinne
,
this
were
for
to
bring
finall
destruction
to
our
owne
soules
.
Secondly
,
they
doe
not
onely
endeauour
to
withhold
all
necessaries
from
the
Towne
,
but
they
vse
all
the
means
to
offend
the
besieged
:
for
they
raise
their
batteries
to
make
breaches
,
they
make
their
approches
,
build
their
gallies
,
spring
their
mines
,
they
haue
ladders
to
seale
the
wals
,
and
all
this
,
to
force
the
Towne
.
Euen
so
,
wee
must
not
onely
auoyd
sinne
,
and
weaken
our
corruption
,
but
wee
must
take
into
our
hands
the
sword
of
the
Spirit
,
which
is
the
Word
of
God
,
whereby
wee
may
be
able
to
kill
all
the
temptations
of
the
world
,
the
flesh
and
the
deuill
.
Fourthly
,
Souldiers
in
the
field
no
more
feare
the
report
of
the
Cannon
,
then
the
report
of
the
Musket
:
as
I
haue
heard
it
related
of
that
true
noble
Peere
,
and
valiant
Commander
,
Sir
Horace
Vere
,
Baron
of
Tilbery
,
that
when
in
the
Palatinate
a
Councell
of
war
was
called
,
and
there
being
debated
whether
they
should
fight
or
not
:
some
Dutch
Lords
sayd
,
that
the
enemy
had
many
pieces
of
Ordnance
planted
in
such
a
place
,
and
therefore
it
was
dangerous
to
fight
.
That
noble
Gentleman
replyed
,
My
Lords
,
if
you
feare
the
mouth
of
the
Cannon
,
you
must
neuer
come
into
the
field
.
Euen
so
,
oft
times
men
fall
into
diuers
and
great
temptations
:
as
for
to
despayre
of
Gods
mercies
,
for
to
make
themselues
away
:
yea
the
deuill
oft
times
tempteth
men
by
voyce
,
by
appearing
in
some
shapes
and
the
like
.
Yet
a
Christian
courage
must
not
bee
daunted
at
any
crosses
or
temptations
,
but
he
must
endure
constant
to
the
end
:
for
God
is
faythfull
and
iust
,
and
will
not
suffer
vs
to
be
tempted
aboue
what
we
are
able
to
endure
.
Bee
we
assured
,
all
the
temptations
of
that
roaring
Lyon
the
deuill
,
are
but
like
the
Frenchmens
assaults
in
warre
.
Prima
Gallorum
p●aelia
sunt
plusquam
virorum
,
secunda
minus
quam
faminarum
.
At
first
he
doth
come
on
like
an
Emperour
,
hee
chargeth
home
brauely
:
but
resist
him
then
:
and
at
the
second
encounter
he
is
more
effeminate
then
a
woman
.
Euen
so
,
resist
Satan
at
the
first
,
and
hee
will
flee
from
you
:
for
the
deuill
is
but
like
a
coward
.
If
a
coward
deale
with
a
man
whom
hee
knoweth
hee
can
ouermatch
,
or
bee
in
place
where
hee
is
sure
hee
may
not
fight
,
then
none
will
giue
prouder
words
,
nor
make
more
bragges
then
a
coward
:
but
if
he
haue
to
doe
with
a
man
,
with
whom
what
he
speaketh
with
his
tongue
,
hee
must
make
good
with
his
sword
,
and
if
he
bee
in
place
where
they
may
conueniently
buckle
,
then
none
is
more
base
or
submisse
then
a
coward
:
Euen
so
,
resist
Satan
,
and
hee
will
auoyd
thee
,
but
giue
the
least
way
to
his
temptations
,
and
then
he
will
fetch
seuen
other
deuils
,
and
they
all
at
once
will
enter
into
that
man
,
and
make
his
end
farre
worse
then
his
beginning
.
All
this
that
we
may
better
performe
,
let
vs
take
to
vs
the
shield
of
fayth
,
and
pray
to
God
,
that
all
our
thoughts
,
words
,
and
deeds
,
may
be
begun
,
continued
,
and
ended
,
to
his
glory
.
And
so
I
passe
to
the
second
thing
.
Princes
and
great
men
are
subiect
to
mortality
.
Pallida
mors
aequo
pulsat
pede
Pauperum
domos
,
Regumque
turres
.
Death
seazeth
on
the
King
in
his
Palace
,
as
well
as
on
the
begger
in
his
cottage
.
It
is
determined
for
all
men
to
dye
once
.
Death
,
Gods
Baylife
,
returneth
not
his
writ
with
a
Non
est
inuentus
in
baliuanostra
:
but
death
bringeth
corpus
cum
causa
to
the
King
of
heauens
bench
.
A
King
may
loue
his
friends
,
and
aduance
his
followers
to
honour
,
but
to
adiourne
death
,
or
to
fill
the
empty
veines
with
liuely
blood
,
or
the
dry
bones
with
marrow
,
or
redeeme
life
from
the
power
of
the
graue
:
in
these
things
,
nor
Dauid
,
nor
any
other
is
a
King
,
2.
Reg.

Am
I
God
,
sayth
the
King
of
Israel
,
to
kill
,
and
to
giue
life
,
or
can
I
heale
Naamans
leprosie
?
The
Vses
of
this
Doctrine
are
these
.
First
,
let
euery
man
perswade
himselfe
that
he
shall
dye
.
This
may
seeme
a
paradox
:
for
it
any
so
sottish
as
to
imagine
he
shall
neuer
dye
?
Beloued
,
bee
not
deceiued
,
I
am
perswaded
,
few
men
doe
dreame
of
their
owne
death
:
for
there
is
none
so
old
,
but
thinketh
he
may
liue
one
yeere
longer
,
and
then
another
,
though
in
generall
wee
say
all
shall
dye
:
yet
in
numbering
our
particular
liues
,
we
thinke
our selues
shall
neuer
dye
.
Two
ships
meete
on
the
sea
,
they
in
eyther
ship
thinke
themselues
stand
still
,
and
the
other
to
bee
swift
of
sayle
,
whereas
both
sayle
,
though
the
one
faster
then
the
other
.
Euen
so
,
men
are
as
ships
:
see
we
an
old
man
with
a
staffe
in
his
hand
stooping
downeward
?
Alasse
,
poore
old
man
,
say
we
,
hee
cannot
liue
long
.
Heare
wee
a
passing-bell
?
Oh
one
is
going
out
of
the
world
.
Visit
wee
a
sicke
friend
?
We
thinke
he
can
hardly
liue
till
morning
.
Thus
we
imagine
,
all
other
men
are
dying
,
but
we
stand
still
:
whereas
alasse
,
they
may
goe
a
little
before
,
and
wee
are
sure
to
follow
after
.
Secondly
,
let
this
teach
vs
to
prepare
our selues
to
dye
,
that
if
death
be
sudden
to
vs
in
regard
of
expectation
,
yet
death
may
neuer
be
sudden
to
vs
in
regard
of
preparation
:
death
is
like
the
Basiliske
:
It
is
reported
,
if
a
Basiliske
first
see
a
man
before
the
man
see
him
,
that
then
he
killeth
the
man
:
but
if
a
man
first
see
a
Basiliske
,
then
the
Basiliske
dieth
.
Thus
is
it
with
death
:
If
death
first
lay
hold
on
a
man
before
he
is
prepared
to
dye
,
then
death
killeth
that
man
,
body
and
soule
for
euer
:
but
if
a
man
first
looke
on
death
,
and
euery
day
prepare
to
dye
,
then
death
is
but
an
entrance
into
euerlasting
happinesse
.
It
is
a
worthy
thing
which
hath
beene
related
to
me
,
of
that
braue
souldier
,
of
a
noble
Family
,
Sir
Iohn
Burrough
,
who
receiuing
a
mortall
wound
in
the
Iland
of
Rees
,
and
being
aduised
not
to
feare
death
,
but
to
prepare
for
another
world
,
he
answered
:
I
thanke
God
,
I
feare
not
death
,
and
these
thirty
yeeres
together
,
I
neuer
arose
at
the
morning
,
that
euer
I
made
account
to
liue
till
night
:
so
let
euery
true
Christian
euery
day
when
he
awaketh
,
commend
himselfe
to
Gods
protection
,
whether
he
liue
or
dye
,
and
at
the
euening
none
knoweth
,
if
That
nights
bed
shall
be
his
graue
,
or
That
nights
sleepe
shall
be
his
death
:
therefore
before
his
eyes
doe
sleepe
,
or
his
eyelids
slumber
,
or
the
temples
of
his
head
take
rest
,
make
his
peace
with
God
for
all
sinnes
:
that
whether
he
liue
or
dye
,
hee
may
liue
and
dye
to
the
Lord
,
and
Iesus
Christ
may
be
to
him
aduantage
.
And
so
I
passe
to
the
last
thing
.
Notice
is
to
be
taken
of
a
great
mans
death
.
Know
ye
not
,
&c.
The
death
of
a
great
man
,
and
of
a
meane
man
is
like
the
report
of
a
Cannon
and
of
a
Musket
:
a
Cannon
is
heard
many
miles
,
but
a
Musket
for
a
little
space
.
So
,
if
a
great
man
dye
,
all
men
speake
of
it
:
as
,
such
an
Earle
,
such
a
Bishop
,
such
a
Commander
is
dead
.
But
if
a
poore
man
,
or
a
common
souldier
dye
,
few
of
his
neyghbours
and
friends
accompany
him
to
the
graue
,
and
there
is
an
end
of
him
.
But
i●
a
great
man
dye
,
which
is
able
to
doe
his
Country
seruice
,
notice
shall
bee
taken
of
it
to
lament
his
death
:
so
is
Abner
heere
bewayled
both
of
King
and
people
.
In
Esay
the
3.
chapter
,
God
threatneth
it
as
a
plague
,
He
will
take
away
the
strong
man
,
and
the
man
of
warre
.
Therefore
as
Lament.
1.15.16
.
The
Lord
hath
troden
vnder
foote
all
the
valiant
men
in
the
middest
of
mee
:
for
this
thing
I
weepe
,
mine
eye
,
euen
mine
eye
casteth
out
water
,
because
the
Comforter
which
should
refresh
my
soule
,
is
farre
from
me
.
God
taketh
away
good
men
,
and
great
men
in
mercy
and
in
iudgement
.
In
mercy
,
when
God
taketh
away
a
bad
Prince
,
and
giueth
a
better
,
as
hee
tooke
Saul
,
and
gaue
Dauid
.
Hee
tooke
away
from
this
land
Queene
Mary
and
gaue
vs
Queene
Elizabeth
.
Or
when
God
taketh
away
a
good
Prince
,
and
giueth
another
good
one
in
his
place
.
Thus
he
tooke
away
Moses
,
and
gaue
Ioshua
:
thus
from
vs
hee
tooke
away
King
Iames
,
and
gaue
vs
King
Charles
,
whom
God
long
preserue
among
vs
:
God
taketh
away
great
men
in
iudgement
,
eyther
when
he
taketh
good
Gouernors
,
and
rayseth
vp
none
in
their
stead
.
Thus
when
all
the
Rulers
were
dead
which
knew
Moses
&
Ioshua
,
God
gaue
the
Iewes
no
Rulers
:
for
in
those
dayes
there
was
no
King
in
Israel
,
but
euery
one
did
what
seemed
best
in
his
owne
eyes
.
Or
else
God
taketh
away
good
Rulers
,
and
rayseth
vp
bad
,
as
he
tooke
away
Samuel
,
and
gaue
Saul
.
Let
vs
consider
,
if
within
these
few
yeeres
God
hath
not
taken
away
many
of
our
braue
Gentiles
,
and
worthy
Souldiers
:
but
where
haue
we
a
succeeding
generation
?
What
are
our
Ships
without
Saylors
?
What
are
our
Gunnes
without
men
?
What
are
our
men
without
discipline
?
And
how
can
we
haue
discipline
,
without
braue
Commanders
,
and
experienced
Souldiers
?
Philip
,
King
of
Macedon
,
accounted
the
Athenians
happy
,
because
they
were
able
euery
yeere
,
to
send
out
ten
worthy
Commanders
,
whereas
he
onely
had
Parmenio
.
Hence
did
this
Nation
florish
heretofore
,
and
was
a
terrour
to
all
Nations
.
Yea
Charles
the
eighth
of
France
attired
his
souldiers
like
Englishmen
to
make
them
more
fearefull
to
his
Rebels
:
but
now
alas
,
of
late
God
hath
not
gone
forth
with
our
armies
,
but
for
our
sinnes
he
hath
made
vs
an
hissing
and
a
by
word
to
other
people
.
Oh
,
now
Abner
hath
leaue
to
dye
,
and
men
of
action
by
the
sword
neuer
lesse
regarded
,
neuer
better
spared
.
Well
,
blessed
be
God
for
our
peace
,
and
pray
we
all
for
the
peace
of
our
Ierusalem
:
Let
them
prosper
which
loue
it
:
yet
let
not
vs
be
secure
.
The
sons
of
Zeruiah
may
be
too
mighty
for
vs
,
though
our
enemies
abroad
do
sleep
,
and
the
Papists
at
home
are
not
plotting
treasons
:
yet
the
deuill
all
this
time
may
rocke
the
cradle
,
and
God
may
one
day
suffer
the
child
to
awake
:
&
therefore
let
not
so
many
Abners
,
nor
this
worthy
Abner
before
vs
dye
,
without
sence
of
a
publike
losse
,
and
an
vniuersall
condolment
of
the
whole
State
.
For
so
saith
my
text
,
Know
yee
not
that
a
Prince
,
&
c
?
A
Prince
,
that
is
,
a
prime
man
,
a
principall
Commander
,
a
valiant
Souldier
,
and
a
worthy
Warrier
.
And
hauing
finished
my
text
,
giue
me
leaue
to
speake
of
this
present
occasion
.
Ptolomeus
asketh
a
question
,
What
course
men
noble
in
birth
,
&
quality
of
mind
,
yet
oppressed
with
pouerty
,
should
take
to
liue
by
,
and
to
be
fruitfull
members
in
the
Commonwealth
?
He
answerd
,
They
may
in
no
wise
practise
any
base
or
mechanicall
trade
,
but
they
must
addict
themselues
,
eyther
to
the
seruice
of
their
Prince
,
or
bee
Priests
of
Gods
Altar
,
or
else
giue
themselues
to
chiualry
,
and
a
military
life
.
This
latter
kinde
of
calling
,
our
Countryman
this
noble
Commander
vndertooke
.
What
,
to
be
a
souldier
?
Nulla
fides
,
pietasque
viris
qui
bella
sequuntur
.
There
is
neyther
fayth
nor
piety
in
men
of
warre
which
liue
by
their
sword
:
But
Gods
Word
will
gainesay
this
.
Abraham
the
father
of
the
faythfull
,
was
a
souldier
,
when
with
300.
armed
men
he
arose
and
rescued
Lot
,
and
the
Kings
which
were
taken
prisoners
.
Iacob
his
grandchild
was
a
warrier
:
for
,
Gen.
48.22
.
hee
gaue
to
Ioseph
a
portion
aboue
his
brethren
,
which
,
sayd
he
,
I
got
out
of
the
hands
of
the
Amorites
by
my
sword
and
by
my
bow
.
Dauid
a
godly
man
was
a
souldier
,
for
God
did
teach
his
hands
to
warre
,
and
his
fingers
to
fight
,
and
he
entred
the
lists
and
fought
a
priuate
duell
with
great
Goliah
,
that
monster
of
the
Philistines
,
and
he
did
cut
off
his
head
with
his
owne
sword
.
In
the
new
Testament
,
the
Centurion
was
so
beleeuing
,
as
Christ
sayd
,
Verily
I
haue
not
found
so
great
fayth
,
no
not
in
Israel
.
And
Cornelius
,
Captaine
of
the
Italian
band
,
Acts
10.
was
a
deuout
man
,
who
feared
God
,
with
all
his
household
,
which
did
giue
much
almes
to
the
people
,
and
prayed
God
continually
.
Thus
we
see
,
souldiers
may
be
,
and
often
are
,
very
religious
.
And
they
are
necessary
members
for
the
Common-wealth
.
Hence
Gabriel
Simon
did
picture
Iulius
Caesar
standing
vpon
a
Globe
of
the
world
,
holding
in
his
left
hand
a
booke
,
&
in
his
right
hand
a
sword
drawne
,
with
this
Motto
:
Ex
vtraque
Caesar
:
to
shew
that
the
Empire
was
gotten
,
and
held
by
armes
and
good
letters
.
And
the
great
Turke
,
going
into
his
Oratory
to
performe
his
deuotions
,
the
Talesman
with
a
loud
voyce
willeth
him
to
remember
,
that
as
the
Empire
was
gotten
by
iustice
,
and
military
discipline
,
so
it
must
be
mayntayned
by
the
same
weapons
:
for
as
in
the
body
naturall
,
if
the
head
aduise
neuer
so
well
,
the
eye
see
neuer
so
clearely
,
and
the
toung
speake
neuer
so
pleasingly
,
yet
if
the
armes
be
dead
or
disioynted
,
the
body
can
neyther
offend
other
,
or
defend
it selfe
.
Euen
so
,
in
the
body
politicke
:
If
the
head
,
that
is
,
the
King
,
by
his
Councell
aduise
neuer
so
well
:
if
the
eyes
,
that
is
,
the
reuerend
Bishops
and
Cleargy
,
see
neuer
so
well
,
and
expell
all
mists
of
error
,
superstition
and
idolatry
,
if
the
tongue
,
that
is
,
the
learned
Iudges
and
Lawyers
administer
iustice
neuer
so
vprightly
:
yet
if
the
Strong
men
,
the
men
of
warre
,
which
are
the
armes
of
the
Kingdome
,
be
dead
,
or
disarmed
,
we
can
neyther
offend
any
other
,
nor
defend
our selues
from
the
inuasion
of
an
enemy
:
All
which
doe
shew
the
necessity
of
the
Honorable
profession
of
a
Souldier
.
To
come
now
to
my
subiect
:
This
valiant
Souldier
first
went
for
his
Countries
seruice
,
Portugall
voyage
.
Then
he
serued
in
the
wars
of
Brittany
.
Thirdly
,
He
went
Cales
voyage
.
Next
the
Iland
voyage
.
Fiftly
,
He
went
into
Ireland
,
where
he
was
Collonell
to
a
troope
of
Horse
,
which
being
cassier'd
,
he
was
made
Lieutenant
to
a
Foote-company
.
After
all
these
trauels
,
&
dangers
,
he
went
to
Ostend
,
the
most
famous
siege
that
euer
was
,
or
I
thinke
,
euer
will
be
.
The
enemy
valiantly
assaulted
,
the
besieged
valiantly
repulsed
them
.
The
then
Generall
,
the
honour
of
our
Nation
in
this
latter
age
,
Noble
Sir
Francis
Vere
,
employed
him
being
but
a
priuate
Gentleman
,
in
a
sally
:
in
which
he
got
the
first
badge
of
his
honour
,
being
shot
into
the
thigh
with
a
musket
bullet
.
And
the
Generall
obseruing
his
valour
,
and
his
stout
and
discreete
answere
,
tooke
such
liking
of
him
,
as
shortly
after
his
returne
he
made
him
a
Lieutenant
,
and
in
a
little
space
after
,
he
made
him
a
Chiefetaine
,
we
say
a
Captaine
,
which
hee
alwaies
to
his
dying
day
would
acknowledge
with
a
most
thankefull
mind
,
to
be
the
ground
of
all
his
honour
and
fortune
.
And
such
was
his
fidelity
euer
after
,
to
that
noble
Generall
,
as
he
would
not
endure
any
man
to
speak
basely
of
him
,
or
in
the
least
measure
to
detract
from
his
worth
.
Hauing
gotten
this
honour
,
he
so
carried
himselfe
,
for
valour
,
for
diligence
,
for
insight
in
his
Office
,
as
that
the
late
Prince
of
Orange
of
famous
memory
,
and
the
now
illustrious
and
victorious
Prince
,
and
all
the
army
noted
his
worth
and
merit
.
And
still
he
aduanced
himselfe
to
higher
place
,
being
made
a
Seriant
Maior
of
a
Regiment
,
and
after
that
a
Lieutenant
Collonell
.

sayth
Queene
Dido
of
braue
Aeneas
:
so
this
worthy
Captaine
neuer
harboured
the
least
thought
of
base
cowardise
in
his
brest
.
How
many
dangers
?
How
many
battailes
?
How
many
skirmishes
?
How
many
sieges
hath
he
past
thorow
?
yea
,
with
losse
of
blood
,
but
alwaies
with
gaine
of
honour
.
I
may
say
of
him
,
as
is
sayd
of
Vlysses
,
Omnia
pericula
intrepide
pertransit
,
he
ranne
thorow
all
dangers
with
an
vndanted
resolution
:
and
as
Seneca
of
another
,
fuit
vir
vere
fortis
,
gloriam
maluit
quam
vitam
,
he
was
a
man
truely
valorous
,
hee
had
rather
maintayne
his
honour
then
to
preserue
his
life
.
And
which
is
more
,
he
did
not
abuse
Gods
blessings
,
as
many
doe
,
to
ryot
and
waste
,
but
knowing
hee
is
worse
then
an
Infidell
,
which
prouideth
not
for
his
family
:
yet
abhorring
a
base
and
sordid
course
,
he
liued
in
a
fit
equipage
for
his
place
and
dignity
,
and
yet
left
a
large
possession
behinde
him
for
his
posterity
.
So
I
may
truely
say
of
him
,
Ille
suis
maioribus
virtute
praeterit
,
hee
surpassed
all
his
Ancestors
in
vertue
and
valour
,
and
withall
non
fuit
finis
,
sed
principium
familiae
:
Hee
was
not
the
end
,
but
the
beginning
and
foundation
of
his
family
.
Hee
hath
so
raysed
his
house
,
as
that
his
Heire
may
liue
nobly
,
and
consort
himselfe
with
the
prime
Gentlemen
of
his
Countrey
.
Iulius
Caesar
,
when
he
saw
great
Alexanders
Monument
,
and
that
it
was
written
on
his
Trophee
,
That
at
32.
yeeres
of
age
,
he
had
conquered
the
Easterne
parts
of
the
world
:
did
presently
weepe
,
to
thinke
,
that
himselfe
being
thirty
foure
yeeres
of
age
,
had
done
no
memorable
Act
,
to
purchase
honour
to
his
Country
,
or
to
himselfe
.
And
so
me
thinkes
,
this
patterne
of
true
Nobility
before
vs
,
should
stirre
vp
the
braue
spirits
of
our
Gentlemen
:
specially
,
the
yonger
brothers
of
families
,
not
to
spend
their
dayes
in
idlenesse
,
in
a
Tauerne
,
or
the
like
:
but
they
should
endeuour
by
some
vertuous
profession
to
augment
their
fortunes
,
and
to
adde
lustre
to
their
Families
.
But
to
goe
forward
,
Abner
in
my
text
did
fall
:
so
did
this
our
Abner
:
but
as
Dauid
sayd
,
Dyed
Abner
as
a
foole
?
thy
hands
were
not
bound
,
nor
thy
feete
tyed
with
fetters
of
brasse
.
So
,
did
this
braue
Commander
dye
like
a
foole
?
as
a
base
man
that
is
whipped
in
the
stocks
?
or
as
a
malefactor
which
is
led
bound
to
execution
?
No
surely
,
but
as
we
say
,
O
portet
imperatorem
mori
stantem
:
An
Emperour
should
dye
standing
.
The
comfortablest
bed
for
a
Preacher
to
dye
in
,
is
the
Pulpit
.
So
,
a
Souldier
should
dye
honorably
in
the
field
.
And
thus
did
this
noble
Leader
dye
in
the
bed
of
honour
,
in
the
field
,
in
the
execution
of
his
Office
,
and
the
face
of
his
enemies
.
And
as
Dauid
,
the
Nobles
,
and
the
people
,
buried
Abner
nobly
,
and
mourned
for
him
:
so
the
Prince
,
and
the
whole
Army
bewailed
this
Souldiers
death
:
and
they
did
burie
his
bowels
there
,
in
an
honourable
manner
.
His
body
is
brought
to
bee
interred
in
his
owne
Citty
,
and
Country
.
And
as
when
King
Iosiah
was
buried
,
all
Iuda
and
Ierusalem
mourned
,
and
came
to
his
buriall
:
Euen
so
,
Sic
enim
paruis
componere
magna
solebam
.
all
the
Country
round
about
,
of
the
prime
ranke
,
for
Knights
,
Cleargy
,
and
Gentlemen
,
with
the
graue
Citizens
and
others
came
to
performe
their
last
duety
of
ciuill
humanity
,
and
Christian
charity
,
to
his
deceased
corps
,
desiring
to
giue
him
that
honour
,
which
while
he
liued
,
he
worthily
purchased
to
himselfe
by
his
valour
.
I
,
but
all
this
may
be
said
of
an
Infidell
,
as
of
Alexander
,
Caesar
,
Scipio
,
Hanibal
.
Marke
then
for
his
soule
,
and
for
him
,
a
true
Christian
Noble
.
His
custome
,
when
he
came
into
England
was
obserued
,
still
on
the
Sabbath
,
and
on
the
Lecture
daies
,
to
frequent
Gods
Temple
,
for
to
heare
Gods
Word
:
and
where
hee
liued
,
I
am
credibly
enformed
by
diuers
,
that
twice
euery
day
in
his
priuate
chamber
,
hee
did
vse
to
pray
heartily
,
and
feruently
to
God
on
his
knees
,
both
for
the
forgiuenesse
of
his
owne
sins
,
and
for
a
blessing
vpon
his
family
:
and
he
did
dayly
vse
to
reade
in
the
Bible
,
and
in
other
good
bookes
.
But
some
weeke
before
his
death
,
he
was
farre
more
deuout
,
and
giuen
to
holy
exercises
then
ordinary

As
the
Swan
,
so
this
Christian
noble
Lieutenant
Collonell
,
ready
to
leaue
the
world
,
did
sing
more
sweetly
,
then
euer
he
did
before
.
And
he
carried
into
the
army
,
not
only
sword
and
speare
,
weapons
for
a
Souldier
:
but
for
his
Christian
warfare
,
he
had
his
Bible
,
his
Prayer
booke
,
and
other
Authors
of
holy
deuotion
.
What
should
I
say
more
?
He
which
in
his
life-time
gaue
such
a
testimony
of
a
liuely
,
and
of
an
vnsayned
repentance
:
and
he
which
dyed
in
the
quarrell
of
Gods
true
Religion
,
and
for
his
Countries
firme
Alies
:
I
doubt
not
but
in
the
Canon
of
charity
,
I
may
apply
to
him
the
saying
of
S.
Paul
,
He
hath
fought
a
good
fight
,
he
hath
finished
a
good
course
.
Therefore
hee
is
now
crowned
with
glory
in
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
:
where
wee
leaue
his
soule
singing
with
the
heauenly
Quire
,
Amen
,
Halelluiah
,
glory
,
honor
,
and
maiesty
be
giuen
to
God
,
&
to
the
Lambe
that
sitteth
vpon
the
Throne
for
euermore
.
And
we
commit
his
body
to
the
graue
to
sleepe
and
rest
in
peace
,
till
the
generall
resurrection
at
the
last
day
:
where
they
which
haue
done
euill
,
shall
arise
to
euerlasting
damnation
,
and
they
which
haue
done
well
,
shall
arise
to
euerlasting
saluation
.
Now
,
God
of
his
mercy
make
vs
partakers
of
this
latter
Resurrection
,
for
Christ
Iesus
sake
.
Amen
.
