Counsell
.
THe
greate
and
cunning
workemaister
,
yea
,
the
maister
of
all
mischiefe
Satan
,
hath
not
ceased
,
euen
from
the
firste
creation
of
man
,
to
molest
and
persecute
the
same
,
lying
euer
in
wayt
to
destroy
him
,
as
is
playnely
seene
in
his
assaults
,
deliuered
to
our
first
parents
Adam
and
Eue
,
very
shortlye
after
their
creation
:
he
neuer
left
them
,
vntill
suche
time
as
he
hadde
caused
them
to
transgresse
the
commandement
of
the
Almighty
,
wherby
they
purchaced
to
themselues
,
and
to
all
their
posteritie
eternall
damnation
.
He
continually
putteth
his
cunning
and
Stratagemes
in
vse
against
seely
poore
man
:
Sometime
by
open
battaile
,
as
causing
him
to
commit
murther
,
adulterie
,
theft
,
extortion
,
and
such
like
grosse
offences
,
against
the
commaundementes
of
the
seconde
Table
.
Another
time
,
he
solliciteth
him
to
pride
,
Idolatry
,
blaspheming
,
vnbeliefe
,
lothing
the
word
of
God
,
contempte
of
the
same
,
rebellion
againste
God
,
vnthankefulnesse
toward
God
,
and
such
like
,
against
the
commandements
of
the
first
Table
:
whereby
he
deliuereth
vnto
vs
terrible
and
dangerous
assaultes
,
othertimes
he
dresseth
agaynst
vs
surprinses
,
as
when
by
meane
of
the
ingraffed
corruption
whiche
dwelleth
in
vs
,
he
raiseth
in
vs
horrible
motions
,
thoughtes
,
affections
,
and
consentes
,
yea
,
and
that
whiche
most
daungerous
of
all
is
:
he
hath
so
banded
oure
eyes
,
that
the
greatest
number
of
men
doe
thinke
filthy
motions
,
vncleane
thoughts
,
corrupt
affections
,
and
detestable
consents
to
be
no
sin
,
vnlesse
the
acte
do
ensue
.
But
indede
the
Eternall
,
which
hath
created
the
heart
,
seeth
all
these
things
in
vs
,
and
abhorreth
and
condemneth
them
,
he
is
the
searcher
of
the
raines
,
which
knoweth
the
thought
before
it
bee
hatched
in
vs
.
Wherefore
,
we
haue
great
cause
,
to
beg
of
God
,
his
grace
,
that
we
may
vnderstand
and
know
the
ruzes
and
deceiptes
of
Sathan
,
whereby
to
auoyde
them
,
and
when
he
shal
at
any
time
sollicite
vs
to
any
of
the
aboue
named
things
,
or
suche
like
,
let
vs
then
know
that
the
enimy
is
at
hand
,
that
he
dresseth
his
scaramuches
againste
vs
:
and
that
he
placeth
his
ambushes
to
cut
betweene
vs
,
and
our
saluation
:
wherefore
,
it
behoueth
vs
to
bee
alwayes
armed
with
the
armour
of
God
,
whereof
Sainct
Paule
speaketh
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Ephesians
,
6.
Chapter
,
and
to
bee
well
acquaynted
with
the
perfect
vse
of
our
weapon
:
for
oure
enimie
is
both
strong
and
skilfull
,
and
woulde
soone
make
an
end
of
mankind
,
if
that
God
did
not
holde
him
in
bridle
:
his
cunnings
are
in
maner
infinite
,
he
can
transfigure
himselfe
sometime
into
the
likenesse
of
an
Angel
of

hath
cancelled
the

,
his

wherefore
I
(
being
a
member
of
his
body
)
can
no
more
bee
damned
than
my
Lorde
Christe
may
.
Now
when

seeth
himselfe
thus
aunswered
and
proued
a
lyar
by
the
sacred
Scriptures
of
God
,
whiche
are
the
onely
weapon
wherewith
to
put
him
to
flight
,
he
then
yeeldeth
all
lost
,
therfore
we
may
easily
see
how
needeful
it
is
to
be
armed
against
Sathan
with
the
most
blessed
word
of
God
,
wherwith
to
quenche
all
his
fierie
dartes
,
and
to
repulse
all
his
assaults
.
Wherfore
I
haue
turned
this
exhortation
into
our
english
tongue
,
the
whych
was
written
in
the
French
by
a
reuerend
,
worthy
,
learned
,
and
godly
father
,
to
a
noble
,
martiall
,
and
Christian
Gentleman
of
France
,
his
good
Lorde
and
friende
,
wherewith
in
the
time
of
his
quietnesse
he
might
fitte
his
armoure
and
weapons
in
suche
sort
,
as
by
battayle
,
he
might
valiantly
fighting
:
obtayne
a
glorious
and
victorious
Crowne
For
as
your
honor
knoweth
,
he
that
will
be
a
good
Souldioure
,
must
enter
timely
into
the
warres
,
therefore
I
saye
,
I
haue
turned
into
the
Englishe
the
same
exhortation
,
for
the
profite
of
the
Churche
of

And

I
haue
added
in
the
ende
of

a
Table
of
certayne
consolatorie
passages
of
Scripture
,
whiche
I
haue
gathered
out
of
the
old

new
Testament
,
for
confirmation
of
oure
faith
,
in
the
moste
sweete
and
comfortable
promises
of
the
almighty

For
when
we
shal

which
we
must
once
sighte
,
eyther
in
the
time
of
our
health

or

in
the
article
of

(
for

I
haue
heere

the

letter
signifieth
brother

if

the

Sister

being
a
woman
,
and
the
third
signifyeth
the
propre
name
of
the
person
wherby
he
must
be
named
.
For
we
may
not
then
honor
them
by
names
of
worldlye
honour
and
dignitie
,
but
to
stand
firmely
against
Satan
in
the
vertue
of

We

name
them
by

proper

,

This

in

secret
day
of

how
the
sicke
person
doeth

and
enquire
how
he
féeleth
himselfe
,
with
Christian
and
gratious
spéech
:
but
if
they
sée
that
he
decline
,
and
that
within
shorte
time
after
no
token
of
recouerie
doe
appeare
,
they
may
chose
some
mete
time
to
speake
to
the
sicke
person
,
and
to
aske
hym
if
he
do
desire
to
heare
spéech
of
God
,
and
to
hearken

.
A
shorte
Catechisme
,
whiche
is
not
onely
to
instructe
the
sicke
,
but
also
to
refreshe
his
memorie
,
with
the
great
mysterie
of
oure
Redemption
:
for
the
good
vnderstanding
and
remembrance
whereof
,
in
his
latter
dayes
,
The
Minister
.
B.
S.
N.
Euery
man
whiche
knoweth
well
himselfe
,
and
is
not
ignorante
of
his
estate
and
qualitie
,
B.
S.
N.
be
patiente
in
your
sicknesse
,
Now
I
aske
of
you
.
For
what
cause
and
to
what
end
were
you
created
in
this
worlde
?
The
sicke
.
For
to
know
God
.
Minister
.
Was
it
necessarie
for
you
to
know
God
?
The
sicke
.
Yea
truely
,
Minister
.
Séeing
that
you
know
God
,
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
and
Iacob
did
worship
in
spirit
&
truth
.
It
is
the
only
eternall
God
,
whiche
hathe
created
Heauen
and
Earthe
,
as
all
the
thyngs
whyche
are
in
them
:
the
knowledge
of
GOD
whiche
you
haue
,
is
it
not
suche
?
The
sicke
.
Yes
.
Minister
.
But
coulde
suche
a
simple
knowledge
of
God
bring
you
well
to
eternall
life
?
The
sicke
.
Very
hardly
:
for
it
is
eternall
life
,
Minister
.
For
what
cause
is
it
necessarie
for
you
to
confesse
and
knowe
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
?
The
sicke
.
Bycause
I
must
recouer
in
Iesus
Christe
,
all
that
whiche
I
haue
lost
in
my self
,
Minister
.
It
is
very
well
sayde
:
that
is
the
cause
why
Iesus
Christe
was
conceyued
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
The
sicke
.
Yes
verily
,
but
I
beléeue
and
confesse
,
that
this
good
Iesus
Christ
hathe
reconciled
me
to
God
his
Father
.
Minister
.
Yea
,
but
how
hath
he
reconciled
you
to
God
his
father
?
The
sicke
.
By
his
deathe
and
passion
,
in
the
sheding
of
his
pretious
bloud
,
Minister
.
All
this
whiche
you
haue
nowe
confessed
of
Iesus
Christe
,
was
it
sufficient
to
saue
you
?
The
sicke
.
No
,
but
that
the
holy
Scriptures
should
be
in
euery
iote
fulfilled
:
for
what
is
it
that
Iesus
Christ
should
haue
profited
me
,
to
haue
bin
borne
,
crucifyed
,
dead
,
buried
,
and
gone
downe
into
the
lower
partes
for
me
only
,
withoute
being
risen
agayne
.
Wherefore
,
Minister
.
Consequently
it
is
written
,
that
he
is
gone
vp
into
the
Heauens
,
The
sicke
.
My
Lord
,
my
head
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christe
,
is
gone
vp
into
the
Heauens
,
to
make
me
to
go
vp
after
him
,
for
there
where
the
head
is
,
the
members
are
also
,
and
I
beléeue
,
that
being
set
at
the
right
hande
of
God
his
Father
,
Minister
.
Who
hathe
giuen
him
the
grace
to
vnderstande
and
knowe
all
these
things
?
The
sicke
.
It
is
by
the
grace
of
the
holye
Ghost
,
Minister
.
Séeing
that
you
haue
alreadye
confessed
,
that
you
are
a
member
of
Iesus
Christ
,
it
followeth
then
that
you
are
also
incorporate
to
hys
Churche
,
the
whiche
ye
ought
to
beléeue
to
be
holy
,
Catholike
,
and
vniuersall
.
The
sicke
.
I
beléeue
certaynely
the
holye
Church
vniuersal
,
washed
and
clensed
in
the
pretious
bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
:
Minister
.
Nowe
séeing
that
you
are
so
well
founded
vpon
the
liuely
Rocke
which
is
Iesus
Christ
,
The
sicke
.
It
is
very
méete
,
for
I
will
not
be
ingrate
,
to
acknowledge
the
good
things
and
giftes
that
I
haue
receiued
of
God
,
wherefore
I
consesse
,
that
I
wretched
and
miserable
sinner
,
haue
infinitely
,
and
withoute
ceassing
,
Minister
.
Séeing
that
you
haue
receyued
so
great
a
good
thing
of
God
,
by
the
meane
of
his
sonne
Iesus
Christe
,
The
sicke
.
Héerein
haue
I
knowen
the
Law
of
Iesus
Christ
,
Minister
.
Now
séeing
that
it
is
ordeyned
of
God
,
that
all
men
shall
dye
,
we
may
not
resist
his
ordinance
,
but
we
must
continually
conforme
our selues
to
his
holy
will
:
O
Lord
God
be
mercifull
and
haue
pitie
vpon
me
wretched
sinner
,
for
the
loue
of
thy
sonne
Iesus
Christ
my
Lord
and
sauioure
.
This
done
,
you
maye
not
forget
your
house
and
familie
,
the
why
he
you
ought
so
well
to
ordeyne
,
and
dispose
by
good
festamente
,
or
other
last
will
,
that
it
maye
be
after
youre
deceasse
,
in
peace
and
quietnesse
:
but
to
shew
you
the
better
to
vnderstand
howe
to
giue
order
,
and
to
dispose
of
your
house
:
it
is
that
you
giue
vnto
euery
man
that
whiche
is
his
due
,
withoute
deceyuing
any
man
:
that
you
leaue
youre
wife
,
heire
,
youre
children
,
and
kinsfolke
,
in
good
agréement
and
quietnesse
,
to
the
end
,
that
after
your
deceasse
,
they
haue
no
occasion
to
be
diuided
.
This
done
,
you
must
forget
al
the
cares
and
griefes
of
this
worlde
,
the
whiche
passeth
away
,
with
all
his
concupiseence
,
but
he
that
doth
the
will
of
God
remaineth
eternally
.
Touching
your
children
,
you
are
only
their
naturall
father
for
a
time
:
but
God
is
euerlastingly
their
spirituall
Father
,
O
Lord
God
,
thou
knowest
my
necessitie
,
if
it
be
thy
pleasure
to
prolong
my
life
,
thy
will
be
done
,
if
it
please
thee
also
to
cal
me
vnto
thee
,
thy
will
bee
done
,
for
thy
creature
O
Lorde
nathe
none
other
will
,
but
thine
.
Now
my
brother
,
comforte
your selfe
in
God
,
who
if
he
haue
ordeyned
to
call
you
,
your
calling
shall
hée
happie
,
for
you
must
beléeue
and
trust
with
a
strong
faith
,
that
hée
will
make
you
to
rise
in
your
owne
body
in
a
glorious
immortalitie
,
to
cause
you
to
raigne
with
him
in
the
eternall
life
,
This
being
done
,
if
they
sée
the
sicke
person
to
impaire
,
and
to
draw
néere
his
deathe
,
as
willing
to
tende
to
his
appoynted
ende
,
forthwith
in
his
mortall
agonie
,
fayle
ye
not
to
recite
wyth
a
loude
voyce
before
him
the
Christian
exhortation
,
the
which
is
placed
here
before
,
thus
doing
,
God
will
giue
him
grace
well
&
faithfully
to
dye
in
him
.
So
be
it
.
I
Woulde
desire
héere
to
saye
something
more
,
but
there
is
I
can
not
tell
what
griefe
in
my
heart
,
which
maketh
me
to
holde
my
peace
in
the
middest
:
of
my
purpose
,
when
I
thinke
vpon
the
blindnesse
,
and
horrible
darkenesse
of
the
time
passed
.
For
the
Monkes
and
Priestes
,
refusing
in
this
laste
necessitie
the
comforts
that
the
Scripture
giueth
,
and
the
confirmations
against
the
feare
of
Death
,
they
brought
forth
of
the
one
side
,
and
of
the
other
,
I
can
not
tell
what
trash
?
Firste
beholde
the
faire
exhortation
whiche
they
gaue
to
those
which
were
vpon
the
pittes
brinke
,
to
trust
in
the
Popes
Bulles
,
wherein
they
did
promise
them
forgiuenesse
of
their
sinnes
,
and
tooke
from
them
all
feare
of
the
fire
of
Purgatorie
.
Now
all
this
,
what
was
it
,
other
than
to
leane
againste
a
wall
that
was
readie
to
fall
,
or
to
trust
to
a
broken
réede
.
Further
,
they
exhorted
the
poore
sicke
persons
,
to
communicate
,
and
to
take
part
of
the
good
works
whiche
should
be
done
in
all
their
order
,
as
fastings
,
abstinences
,
watchings
,
Prayers
,
and
other
such
lyke
dayne
thynges
,
and
to
haue
theyr
parte
therein
:
they
myghte
in
no
wise
spare
anye
siluer
,
no
,
if
they
woulde
saue
their
soule
.
For
it
is
in
this
forte
,
that
these
furred
pawes
,
and
hooded
beastes
,
haue
accustomed
to
set
forthe
their
workes
of
superabundance
that
they
might
sell
to
others
,
leauing
alwaye
that
whiche
was
prositable
and
necessarie
to
obteyne
saluation
.
And
of
this
matter
,
men
maye
yet
at
this
daye
,
bring
forth
faire
obligations
passed
,
which
shall
giue
testimonie
of
these
things
.
S.
Frances
,
and
after
their
death
,
would
be
bursed
in
hys
habit
.
Nowe
I
speake
not
héere
at
all
of
Obsequies
,
Vigilles
,
Anniuersaries
,
Peligrimage
,
taken
in
hand
for
the
saluation
of
the
dead
,
nor
of
other
suffrages
of
the
liuing
,
nor
of
merits
,
satisfactions
,
and
good
works
,
wherein
they
did
put
their
onely
hope
and
trust
,
to
obteyne
saluation
.
And
to
auoyde
the
paynes
of
Purgatorie
.
I
will
not
speake
of
the
other
things
,
which
these
idle
bellies
were
wont
to
set
forth
,
to
poore
sicke
persons
,
to
prepare
them
to
death
,
I
leaue
to
spoke
of
these
blasphemies
.
When
they
shaped
this
goodly
hunne
to
the
Virgin
Marie
in
the
Article
of

Marie

,
mother
of
mercie
,
defend
vs
from
the
enimie
,
and
receyue
vs
at
the
houre
of
death
.
Now
let
vs
acknowledge
the
inestimable
benefites
of
oure
onely
God
,
and
heauenlye
Father
,
who
in
our
dayes
hath
restored
the
doctrine
of
the

,
and
hathe
stirred
vs
vp
to
serue
him
in
all
purenesse
,
in
true
reuerence
and
honor
,
and
hathe
drawen
vs
out
from
the
deadly
darkenasse
,
to
bring
vs
to
the
knowledge
of
his
sonne
our
Lord
&
only
sauiour
Iesus
Christ

And
euen
as
