I
am
not
so
perversly
minded
,
as
not
to
discerne
,
nor
so
ingratefull
as
not
to
acknowledge
Gods
great
goodnesse
to
our
Nation
in
granting
and
bestowing
on
us
,
as
all
things
needfull
for
our
bodies
,
so
also
plentifull
and
necessary
instructions
for
our
soules
.
Yea
I
behold
with
much
joy
many
of
the
Sages
of
our
Law
,
and
others
in
place
of
Government
,
adding
to
their
skill
in
the
Laws
of
this
Land
,
and
promptnesse
in
matters
concerning
mens
temporall
estates
,
the
knowledge
of
Gods
sacred
Book
,
and
heavenly
skill
:
as
for
the
Salvation
of
their
owne
souls
,
so
also
for
keeping
others
from
unjust
courses
prejudicing
their
eternall
estate
.
I
see
this
,
I
say
,
in
many
,
I
hope
it
in
the
rest
:
hence
therefore
I
am
induced
to
present
this
Treatise
to
the
Patronage
of
all
such
as
love
Gods
sacred
truth
,
and
be
in
place
,
and
strive
to
promote
faithfull
and
just
dealing
betweene
man
and
man
:
without
which
two
,
props
the
Commonwealth
may
desire
,
but
will
hardly
finde
true
safetie
.
So
that
their
endeavour
is
highly
to
be
commended
,
who
imploy
their
thoughts
and
paines
in
upholding
the
same
.
Subtle
heads
may
devise
,
and
worldly
policie
may
forge
many
shifts
;
but
justice
armed
with
insight
into
divine
and
humane
lawes
,
will
never
,
or
not
easily
be
deluded
.
Goe
on
therefore
with
noble
and
undanted
resolutions
,
shew
your selves
still
and
ever
men
fearing
God
,
and
hating
Covetousnesse
.
By
rooting
out
of
the
vice
in
this
Book
treated
of
,
take
away
the
blemish
of
Merchandise
,
the
subverter
of
faire
and
just
dealing
,
the
bane
of
Widowes
,
and
Orphanes
and
many
others
,
the
underminer
of
Iustice
,
the
staine
of
Christian
profession
.
So
being
faithfull
in
discharge
of
your
places
for
a
short
time
here
,
God
of
his
mercie
and
goodnesse
will
advance
you
to
a
place
of
endlesse
blisse
hereafter
.
To
the
most
Noble
,
High
and
Prudent
Counsellors
of
State
in
Holland
.
ANcient
writers
to
ennoble
the
force
of
Musick
,
have
recorded
,
that
it
hath
cured
divers
infirmities
both
of
body
and
minde
.
How
farre
their
relations
may
bee
credited
may
not
without
cause
be
questioned
.
But
t
is
undoubtedly
true
,
that
the
diseases
of
mens
minds
have
been
and
are
often
cured
by
pious
reproofs
,
seasonable
admonitions
,
faithfull
counsels
,
and
religious
directions
.
For
to
this
end
God
hath
given
us
his
sacred
Scripture
,
that
it
might
be
a
Closet
and
store-house
full
fraught
with
medecines
of
this
nature
,
by
which
the
depravations
of
humane
frailtie
may
be
corrected
,
and
men
bee
perswaded
(
which
God
often
inculcateth
)
to
eschew
evill
,
and
doe
good
.
Having
well
weighed
this
with
my selfe
:
I
resolved
among
other
Ecclesiasticall
performances
of
my
calling
,
to
attempt
the
cure
of
a
most
dangerous
and
pernitious
sore
among
tradesmen
:
who
by
crafty
devices
and
ungodly
courses
become
Banckrupts
to
the
disgrace
of
their
calling
,
disturbance
of
the
Common-wealth
,
impoverishing
of
their
Creditors
,
and
the
discredit
(
a
thing
much
to
be
lamented
)
of
Christianity
.
And
surely
much
the
worse
are
the
practises
of
delinquents
in
this
kinde
,
because
God
of
his
especiall
favour
hath
given
us
plentifull
knowledge
,
and
divine
directions
most
cleere
,
to
keep
us
in
the
wayes
of
God
,
and
in
honest
,
faithfull
,
gratious
,
and
Christian
dealing
.
Further
,
when
I
saw
and
considered
the
ill
consequents
of
Banckrupts
naughty
practises
;
I
judged
them
more
hurtfull
and
mischievous
,
than
their
diseases
who
are
affected
and
afflicted
with
corporall
maladies
of
what
kinde
soever
;
for
bodily
diseases
especially
grieve
the
outward
man
of
the
partie
diseased
,
&
often
conduce
to
the
safety
of
the
soule
▪
Whereas
the
evils
accompanying
Banckrupts
proceedings
,
cause
much
detriment
and
harme
to
all
such
as
deale
with
them
,
and
cast
the
Banckrupts
headlong
into
many
sinnes
prejudiciall
to
their
soules
.
Thence
it
is
that
often
yee
shall
find
Banckrupts
deafe
to
good
counsell
,
lame
and
not
able
to
tread
in
the
pathes
of
equity
;
blinde
,
and
not
willing
to
see
what
belongeth
to
faire
dealing
.
Men
distracted
,
and
such
as
be
infected
with
the
plague
,
are
shut
up
in
close
places
from
doing
mischiefe
:
But
banckrupts
frequent
Markets
and
places
of
Commerce
,
and
by
crafty
&
cunning
carriage
wrong
full
many
.
Obstructions
in
the
veines
may
breed
some
diseases
in
mens
bodies
;
but
the
intentions
and
dealings
of
these
craftie
deceivers
cause
obstructions
and
stoppage
to
all
faithfull
dealing
&
trading
.
Wherefore
I
have
in
brief
,
1.
Layd
open
the
diseases
of
Banckrupts
.
2.
Shewed
the
vices
incident
to
them
.
3.
Declared
what
laws
have
bin
enacted
to
prevent
their
evill
dealings
.
4.
Vnfolded
the
remedies
necessary
for
the
cure
thereof
.
And
in
each
part
of
my
discourse
intermingled
pious
and
wholsome
exhortations
,
reproofs
,
admonitions
out
of
sundry
learned
&
approved
authors
;
and
with
that
moderation
dealt
with
them
,
that
if
they
rightly
consider
of
my
Endeavours
,
they
shall
have
more
cause
to
embrace
and
like
of
this
Treatise
,
than
to
maligne
and
reproach
it
.
I
am
one
among
the
rest
of
Gods
watch-men
,
might
not
in
any
wise
hold
my
peace
.
May
it
please
you
to
accept
of
,
and
take
into
your
patronage
a
worke
so
necessarie
for
the
Credit
and
quietnesse
of
a
Christian
Commonwealth
,
and
the
defence
and
protection
of
many
Innocent
and
wronged
Creditors
.
Thus
praying
God
to
protect
you
under
the
shadow
of
his
wings
,
and
to
direct
you
in
these
troublsome
times
for
the
happy
&
prosperous
mannaging
of
the
charge
committed
to
you
,
I
rest
Your
Highnesse
in
all
Christian
observance
to
be
commanded

The
Translator
to
the
Christian
Reader
.
I
Wish
from
my
heart
(
gentle
Reader
)
that
this
Booke
usefull
(
as
it
seemeth
)
in
other
Countreyes
,
had
been
needlesse
in
ours
.
So
might
I
have
spared
my
labour
in
translating
it
,
and
you
better
have
imployed
your
time
than
in
reading
it
.
But
such
is
the
frequency
and
obliquity
of
Banckrupt
courses
at
this
day
with
us
,
that
it
was
thought
necessary
to
fetch
these
Antidotes
and
Medicines
for
the
same
from
our
neighbors
Countrey
.
And
J
knew
not
where
better
to
finde
them
,
than
in
this
learned
Author
;
who
in
this
his
discourse
hath
spoken
of
this
subject
briefly
,
and
yet
usefully
,
judiciously
,
religiously
.
Read
it
thorough
,
and
seriously
consider
each
passage
.
No
ingenuous
and
well-minded
peruser
hereof
can
choose
but
be
bettered
by
it
in
his
judgment
,
as
,
for
the
producing
in
his
heart
an
hatred
of
this
vice
:
so
,
for
discerning
the
crafty
wiles
&
tricks
of
them
,
who
will
lay
Harpyes
claws
on
what
they
can
catch
,
and
part
from
nothing
which
possibly
they
can
hold
.
Jt
cannot
otherwise
be
,
but
that
some
persons
at
sight
hereof
will
fret
in
their
hearts
,
bend
their
brows
,
and
sowre
their
speeches
.
I
wish
them
a
better
temper
,
and
more
calme
affections
,
&
such
a
demeanor
towards
them
,
who
minde
their
good
,
as
may
cleerely
testify
good
ground
of
hope
for
their
amendment
.
Mr
Daniel
Sauterius
the
religious
and
learned
Author
hereof
,
being
a
worthy
and
faithfull
Watch-man
of
God
,
hath
given
warning
of
the
evill
in
the
world
,
which
he
saw
to
grow
too
rife
and
encrease
exceeding
much
;
Hee
hath
admonished
the
wicked
of
his
wicked
way
,
and
done
what
God
his
Master
enjoyned
him
:
It
remaineth
also
that
men
doe
their
parts
,
And
turne
out
of
their
evill
wayes
,
that
they
may
live
.
Jf
there
be
any
who
notwithstanding
will
run
headlong
on
in
their
owne
courses
and
fraudulent
practises
,
to
them
J
say
;
Goe
too
now
yee
false
and
deceitfull
dealers
:
rejoyce
in
your
advantages
subtlily
got
,
whilst
they
which
loose
by
you
,
weep
:
Cloth
your selves
bravely
,
feed
daintily
,
looke
high
,
whilst
your
Creditors
goe
with
dejected
Countenances
,
bee
barely
clad
or
naked
,
and
want
necessary
food
:
Abound
you
in
all
jollity
und
earthly
pleasure
,
whilst
others
groane
under
the
burden
of
sad
miseries
,
into
which
you
have
cast
them
:
But
remember
that
for
all
these
things
God
will
bring
you
to
Judgment
.
But
I
hope
better
things
of
you
,
and
such
as
tend
to
the
future
reformation
of
your
courses
.
I
wish
the
intelligent
and
godly
Reader
to
hope
the
same
with
me
,
and
admonish
all
who
have
been
subtle
and
fraudulent
delinquents
in
the
practises
here
spoken
of
,
not
to
deceive
us
in
our
hopes
,
least
they
deceive
themselves
of
their
future
comfort
.
More
I
shall
not
need
to
say
,
because
the
religious
Author
hath
very
well
opened
his
minde
concerning
this
Treatise
,
and
I
have
briefly
comprised
it
in
the
Epistle

there
could
be

bounds
or

set
to
mens
sinning
,
where
an
ingenuous
blush
was
quite
banished
from
their
hardned
foreheads
.
They
saw
the
market
place
full
of
buyers
and
sellers
,
and
plentie
of
Commerce
,
but
saw
likewise
vices
as
frequent
,
as
men
.

one
man
supplanting
another
;
scarce
any
man
gayning
but
by
anothers
losse
,
and
some
others
for
a
little
pleasure
or
profit
,
not
caring
whom
they
ruinated
;
Then
appeared
also
more
wayes
to
sin
than
means
to
restraine
iniquitie
,
and
men
striving
dayly
,
who
should
outvie
each
other
in
mischiefe
.
Then
pronesse
to
sinne
increased
,
shamefacednesse
decreased
:
So
that
due
respect
to
Authority
and
Justice
being
expelled
,
unbridled
desires
rushed
which
way
they
lusted
;
Innocencie
was
rare
,
Vice
frequent
,
and
sought
not
secrecy
,
but
was
so
rooted
in
mens
hearts
that
it
feared
not
publick
view
.
These
of
old
were
the
Heathens
Complaints
;
and
have
not
the
streames
of
vice
from
former
times
flowed
down
to
us
;
and
all
later
times
made
good
,
what
our
Saviour
foretold
of
the
dayes
after
him
?
Because
[

.
Iniquitie
shall
be
multiplied
,
the
Charity

many

.
Even
now
wee
see
,
as
it
were
a

Concurrence

for
the

not
to

.
In
a
word
this
was

ours
;

craft
and
subtle
dealing
is
more
prized
than
faithfulnesse
.
This
is
most
true
in
the
generall
Courses
of
men
.
But
especially
among
Banckrupts
;
so
that
to
defraud
others
,
and
leave
trading
,
is
no
more
disgrace
,
than
to
goe
from
a
Winter
house
to
a
Summer
house
in

What
else

of

successe
in
ill
and
fraudulent
dealing
maketh
it
counted
a
vertue
.
Because
their
Craft
prospereth
,
even
the
successe
maketh
a
perverted
Judgement
to
thinke
their
sinne
warrantable
;
so
that
away
they
passe
without
punishment
.

also
the
multitude
of
offendors
taketh
away
the
shame
of
the
offence
,
and
the
Commonnesse
of
the
ill
report
maketh
it
cease
to
be
counted
a
disgrace
.
So
that
hereby
it
[

cometh
to
passe
,
that

I

not

who
by

:
These
last
are
the
worst
sort
of
men
and
deserve
no
pitty
.
Of
them
I
intend
to
speake
in
due
order
.
So
that
my

shall

no

make
an
inquirie

the
vice
in

Whosoever
therefore
(

shall
be

therewith
,
even
confesseth
himselfe
in

to

,
who
in

is
spoken
of
.
And
first
I
will
speake
of
Banckrupts

Casualties

of
a
hatred
to

Guilty
,
to
lay

on
the

,
is
contrary
to
naturall
equity
.
And
t
is
thought
altogether
inhumane
,
that
a
Banckrupt
should
be
punished
,
whose
goods
have
been
wasted
by
certain

.
Wherefore
we
cannot

if
it
be

,
that
he

Now

manner
it
may

,
that

may

not

therefore
question
need
not
be
made
concerning
his
corporall
punishment
.
Hence
,
Otho
made
a
law
,
that
men
impoverished
by
Shipwrack
,
not
by
their
owne
negligence
or
wastfulnesse
,
should
stand
in
an
appointed
publick
place
,
that
all
men
might
see
them
,
and
out
of
true
compassion
relieve
them
.
But
whosoever
spent
themselves
by
riotousnesse
and
ill
courses
,
should
be
quite
excluded
and
denyed
that
benefit
.
Now
further
consider
we
,
what
men
undone
by
casualties
are
to
doe
.
When
crosses
able
to
breake
mens
estates
doe
befall
them
and
much
trouble
them
,
they
ought
not
to
fret

Let

therefore
that

with

,
take
unto
themselves
a
patient
prudence
,
and
learne
to
mollifie
hardship

,
with

that

is
one
Haven
of
a

,
to
contemne
chance
,
to
stand
boldly
&
ward
the
darts
cast
by
crosses
with
a
resolute
heart
prepared
for

.
Besides
,
let
them
remember
,
that
they
be
men
brought
forth
and
subject
to
the
common
misery
of
humane
condition
,
and
may
not
refuse
to
live
exposed
to
that
frailtie
,
to
which
men
in

are

.
Let
them
with
patience
undergoe
the
casualties
,
which
by
any

,

,
and

they
could
not

and
remembring
the

,
which

,
think
with

,
that

hath

.
Let

In

to

,

,
but
like

,
to

.
For
we

.
We
are
judged
and

of

Lord
,
that
wee
should
not
be
condemned
with
the
wicked
world
.
Doth
your
faith
languish
?

assault

,
that

:
God
[
l
](A11530-e11250-b)

is
good
to
you
;
for
if
he
did
not
mixe
some
bitternesse
amidst
the
happinesse
of
this
world
,
wee
should
forget
him
.
But
by
his
raising
stormes
in
mens
mindes
,
by
vexations
and
crosses
he
wakens
faith
,
which
before
lay
asleep
.
Wherefore
God
by
[
m
](A11530-e11260-b)
m

afflicting
men
out
of
fatherly
good
will
to
them
,
desireth
to
put
life
into
them
,
and
to
make
them
get
new
strength
.
So
that
those
rather
are
truly
to
be
called
miserable
,
who
lie
snorting
in
too
much
happinesse
,
whom
a
lazie
restinesse
possesseth
,
as
in
a
becalmed
Sea
.
Let
us
then
think
it
best
with
patience
to
beare
,
what
God
pleaseth
to
lay
upon
us
:
He
ruleth
as
King
,
we
must
obey
:
Neither
shall
we
ever
be
well
prepared
for
crosses
,
unlesse
without
murmuring
in
the
midst
of
all
troubles
we
can
often
say
;
Deo
aliter
visum
est
,
immo
Deo
melius
quid
visum
est
:
God
hath
a
hand
in
this
,
yea
,
God
hath
laid
this
crosse
on
me
for
my
good
:
He
knew
what
was
best
for
me
.
Our
minds
being
thus
composed
,
will
moderately
and
thankfully
entertain
happinesse
,
and
resolutely
and
constantly
beare
adversity
.
Further
to
comfort
the
former
sort
of
Banckrupts
,
[
a
](A11530-e11310-b)
a
Benvent
in
his
Treatise
of
Banckrupts
.
impoverished
by
their
owne
default
,
and
are
indeed
the
worst
sort
of
men
,
worthy
of
no
commiseration
;
for
their
il
cariage
maketh
them
uncapable
of
pitie
.
Hence
first
antiently
they
were
counted
contemptible
and
infamous
.
This
we
see
by
Crassus
called
the
Rich
[
b
](A11530-e11330-b)
b
Val.
Max.
B.
11.
:
His
poverty
in
the
end
put
on
him
the
name
of
Banckrupt
;
for
his
goods
(
because
he
could
not
make
payment
to
his
Creditors
)
were
sold
and
himselfe
walking
,
as
a
begger
,
saluted
with
the
bitter
geere
;
Behold
rich
Crassus
.
Secondly
,
they
were
forbidden
commerce
.
The
12
Roman
tables
say
thus
:
Because
[
c
](A11530-e11360-b)
c

.

.
you
lavish
out
your
estates
,
we
therefore
forbid
you
the
use
of
money
and
Commerce
.
Thirdly
,
they
were
adjudged
unworthy
of
the
name
of
Tradesmen
:
for
he
that
trades
[
d

unjustly
or
is
an
ill
Tradesman
,
is
not
properly
called
a
Tradesman
,
but
equivocally
and
abusively
.
Fourthly
,
because
not
observing
the
rules
of
fidelity
,
they
deserve
the
stile
of
frandulent
wasters
of
other
mens
money
,
and
in
[
e

of

.
Latin
are
called
Decoctores
;
which
word
cometh
from
decoquo
to
boyle
away
;
for
as
fire
by
little
and
little
boyleth
away
the
substance
of
any
liquor
:
so
these
Banckrupts
by
degrees
waste
and
diminish
their
estate
.
Fifthly
,
in
Tuscany
[
f
](A11530-e11430-b)
f

Divis
.
215.
and
all
Italy
,
they
are
called
Banccafalliti
,
and
in
divers
other
Countreyes
Banckrupts
,
because
they
faile
,
breake
,
and
appeare
not
at
the
banck
,
table
,
or
compting
bord
,
where
they
should
pay
their
debts
.
Of
these
let
us
speak
in
order
,
for
(
as
Cicero
)
t
is
not
enough
to
finde
out
and
declare
any
thing
:
the
maine
matter
is
judiciously
and
orderly
to
intreate
thereof
.
Concerning
this
sort
of
Banckrupts
first
we
will
unfold
their
deceipts
in
getting
other
mens
money
into
their
possession
.
Secondly
,
we
will
describe
their
divers
courses
of
wasting
it
.
Thirdly
,
we
will
lay
open
their
base
and
dishonest
purpose
to
deceive
and
faile
their
Creditors
.

they
cannot

,
a

must
doe
the
deed
;
they
will
cheate
,
steale
,
spoile
,

,
forsweare
,
stick
at
nothing
;
so
that
they
may
glitter
in
brave
apparell
,
rings
,
pearles
,
and
make
a
gallant
shew
with
their
silver
and
gold
,
and
satisfy
their
greedie
desires
with
other
mens
wealth
.
Their
first
trick
is
pretending
themselves
to
be
rich
;
for
[
d
](A11530-e11530-b)
d

.
15.
there
is
(
saith
Salomon
)
one
that
maketh
himselfe
rich
,
when
indeed
he
hath
nothing
:
These
Banckrupts
will
make
a
shew
as
if
they
were
Magnifico●s
,
brave
and
accomplished
Merchants
and
Traders
,
both
by
their
words
and
courses
,
though
they
be
of
meane
estate
.
Secondly
,
they
conceit
that
brave
apparell
,
orient
Pearles
,
gold
Chaynes
,
and
the
like
gallantry
will
easily
beguile

much
from
a
light
opinion
,
little
from
reall
truth
.
Whence
the
report
of
their
wealth
shall
be
so
blasoned
,
that
there
can
be
no
better
birdlime
for
their
bush

Thirdly
,
to
gaine
the
peoples
applause
,
they
build
stately
houses
,
astonishing
the
beholders
with
their
strange
Architecture
the
ready
way
(
saith

)
to
make

men

:
So
that
't
is
a
vanity
of
fooles
and
mad
men
,
to
gaine
popular
applause
,
and
to
make
a

for
to
get

opinion
of

which

is
it
to

to

and

prey
for

Away
with

impudent
speech
.
Heathen
Tully
could
[
b
](A11530-e12340-b)

of

censure
it
for
a
crime
of
wicked
men
,
that
any
thing
should
seeme
good
and
profitable
for
them
,
which
is
not
also
just
,
honest
,
and
may
stand
with
their
credit
.
Undoubtedly
in
these
our
times
t
is
much
to
be
lamented
,
that
men
out
of
an
opinion
of
things
being
for
their
good
,
that
is
,
their
profit
and
advancing
their
estates
,
rush
headlong
into
many
evils
,
if
not
into
their
owne
perdition
.
Now
that
we
may
recall
and
withdraw
Banckrupts
,
who
are
deepest
in
this
bad
opinion
,
from
their
ill
courses
:
Let
us
consider
the
multitude
,
confluence
,
and
sinck
of
evills
issuing
from
their
enormous
courses
.
Yea
there
is
an
Ocean
of
them
;
may
you
please
with
me
compendiously
to
saile
through
them
.
[

a

Tully
doth
more
keep
a
State
in
due
course
,
than
fidelity
in
dealing
,
which
is
utterly
taken
away
if
there
be
not
a
faithfull
and
true
payment
made
to
Creditors
.
If
Banckrupts
the
Arch-builders
of
fraud
,
utterly
subvert
and
take
this
away
,
as
indeed
they
doe
,
who

but
that
the
Commonwealth
,
unlesse

be
in
time
used
,
will
shortly
be
ruinated
?
Secondly

by
Banckrupts
courses
,

,

quite
overthrowne
:
yea
commerce
and
dealing
of
man
with
man
is
the
bond
and
prop
of
Cities
and
Kingdomes
:
If
then
Banckrupts
weaken
or
violate
performance
of
fidelity
,
which
to
doe

Aristotle

overthroweth
all
use
of
trading
among
men
:
The
Commonwealth
cannot
florish
,
but
become
a
body
without
a
soule
.
Thirdly
,
often
seditions
and
&
discords
arise
upon
Banckrupts
cheating
their
Creditors
of
their
estates
,
or
Compounding
with
them
for
the
third
or
fourth
part
.
Tully
[
e

.
censured
that
the
cancelling
the
first
Covenants
made
with
the
Creditors
,
and
drawing
new
Covenants
is
the
overthrow
of
the
foundation
of
a
State
.
And
Seneca

f

f

.
saith
,
that
the
benefit
of
new
Compounding
is
most
pernitious
to
a
Commonwealth
.
And
surely
no
lesse
mischiefe
cometh
to
a
Citty
by
giving
liberty
to
Banckrupts
to
abide
insolvent
;
for
hereby
a
greater
occasion

is
afforded
desperate
men
to
violate
their
promises
and
Covenants
,
and
to
disquiet
all
.
And
truly
this
will
be
the
Condition
of
our
times
,
unlesse
speedily
a
remedy
be
applyed
to
prevent
this
mischief
spreading
in

(

to
a

;
surely
a
man
may

call

carrieth
it
away
,
and
cheates
him
of
it
by
cunning
and
subtle
devises
.
This
is
thus
proved
:
First
,
if
he

to

otherwise
than
in
that
use
for
which
he
was
let
out
to
him
:
on
the
same
ground
are
not
Banckrupts
,
who
use
mens
money
to
other
uses
than
they
were
lent
,
well
termed
theeves
?
Now
they
turne
them
to
other
uses
than
the
lender
intended
,
1.
when
they
lavish
them
out
upon
their
pleasures
.
Secondly
,
when
they
borrow
them
of
one
Creditor
to
stop
another
Creditors
mouth
,
that
clamours
against
them
.
Such

was
the
fault
of
the
Phocians
,
who
to
pay
the
amercement
to
the
Amphictyons
,
conspired
to
rob
the
Delphick
Temple
.
Thirdly
,
when
Banckrupts
spend
the
borrowed
[
d

money
in
estating
their
Sonnes
or
making
rich
dowries
for
their
Daughters
,
or
any
way
convey
and
turne
them
over
to
their
heires
or
agents
or
friends
in
trust
:
Thus
some
Banckrupt
doth
,
though
it
be
a
folly
in
him
to
provide
for
others
,
and
be
in
want
himselfe
,
or
to
make
others
unjustly
to
gape
after
his
death
and
wealth
,
who
unjustly
robbed
others
of
it
:
for
oftentimes
the
[
e
](A11530-e12990-b)

largenesse
of
the
prey
and
intire
enjoying
it
,
maketh
them
of
friends
turne
enemies
to
the
Banckrupt
.
Secondly
,
Banckrupts
are
proved
lyable
to
theft
thus
;
if
by
all
mens
verdict
he
be
judged
a
thiefe
,
that
having
pawned
,
or
lent
on
consideration
any
thing
,
takes
it
closely
into
his
possession
before
the
time
;
much
more
is
he
to
be
accused
of
theft
,
who
after
the
time
of
payment
is
expired
,
deteineth
in
his
hand
another
mans
money
against
the
owners
minde
,
and
will
not
restore
it
.
The
former
is
true
;
for
by
his
own
consent
to
lend
it
,
he
made
the
use
of
the
thing
another
mans
if
therefore
he
take
it
away
before
the
set
time
,
he
endammageth
the
borrower
and
committeth
theft
,
as
say
the
Lawyers
.

*
qui

&
L.
si
aves
D.

,
therefore
also
the
latter
is
true
.
Thirdly
,
he
is
a
thiefe
that
concealeth
another
mans
goods
:
But
Banckrupts
often
conceale
borrowed
money
,
and
will
not
let
their
Creditors
know
their
estates
;
and
running
away
with
all
or
a
good
part
thereof
,
say
that
they
are
insolvent
.
And
surely
in
all
passages
,
especially
in
concealing
of
goods
got
into
their
hands
,
so
many
and
so
covert
are
Banckrupts
subtilties
that
they
cannot
be
either
unfolded
or
indeed
imagined
.
In
so
much
,
that
't
is
taken
for
granted
among
Lawyers
,
That
[
f
](A11530-e13030-b)
f
Nic.
Boerius
.
Banckrupts
and
fugitive
merchants
or
tradesmen
may
be
wracked
,
that
they
may
tell
what
is
become
of
the
money
lent
them
for
merchandize
and
trading
,
which
now
they
deny
themselves
to
have
,
and
say
,
that
the
Retayler
hath
got
it
,
and
by
him
it
is
lost
:
Therefore
for
concealment
of
other
mens
goods
they
may
have
theeft
layd
to
their
charge
.
Fourthly
,
and
lastly
,
he
[
g
](A11530-e13050-b)
g
Danaeus
in
his
Ethic
Lev.

.
Exod.
22.17
.
committs
theft
,
who
denyeth
what
he
borrowed
or
had
deposited
in
his
hands
:
But
banckrupts
often
deny
with
impudent
faces
that
they
received
the
money
which
was
lent
them
;
therefore
they
are
liable
to
bee
accused
of
theft
.
Now
to
deny
the
truth
in
this
kinde
is
base
and
dishonest
,
and
maketh
a
man
uncapable
of
the
benefit
of
avoiding
prison
and
compounding
with
his
Creditors
.
Besides
't
is
no
ingenuous
part
,
St
Austin
saith
,
every
unjust
motion
[
a
](A11530-e13120-b)

in
Johan
.
of
the
minde
,
by
which
men
are
incited
to
to
wrong
their
brother
,
is
murther
.
Thus
are
they
mutherers
not
armed
with
swords
,
but
with
fraud
and
craft
for
their
owne
gaine
to
overthrow
others
.
Secondly
,
he
that
depriveth
others
of
the
necessaries
for
their
life
,
what
doth
he
else
but
deprive
them
of
their
lives
?
He
killeth

his
neighbour
,
that
taketh
his
bread
from
him
;
he
that
[
c
](A11530-e13140-b)

offic
1.
unjustly
setteth
upon
another
with
craft
to
wrong
him
,
doth
as
it
were
lay
violent
hands
on
him
.
If
Banckrupts
by
their
Cunning
shifts
and
tricks
carry
away
the
money
of
honest
Cittizens
,
poore
widowes
,
and
Orphanes
,
which
should
susteyne
their
lives
,
what
doe
they
else
but
as
Vultures
suck
their
blood
and
teare
in
peeces
,
and
devoure
them
who
are
innocent
,
and
know
not
how
to
help
themselves
?
But
the
Banckrupts
plead
,
doe
we
not
for
their
money
afford
unto
them
the
yearely
maintenance
,
upon
which
they
live
?
I
answer
,
this
small
kindnesse
is
soone
turned
into
a
great
mischiefe
:
Nor
indeed
is
it
a
kindnesse
,
to
seeme
to
doe
Creditors
good
for
a
while
,
and
then
wholly
to
rob
them
.
So
then
thirdly
,
under
a
shew
of
being
helpfull
to
Creditors
lives
,
the
Banckrupts
in
the
end
goe
away
with
the
principall
,
and
dig
the
deeper
pit
for
their
Creditors
overthrow
.
This
kindnesse
of
Banckrupts
is
like
the
stinging
of
the
Aspe
,
with
whose
[

venome
if
a
man
be
infected
,
he
falleth
in
a
pleasing
sleep
,
so
that
the
venome
disperseth
it selfe
through
all
the
veines
,
and
the
party
dieth
sweetly
sleeping
:
So
the
Banckrupt
for
a
while
lulleth
with
kinde
supply
his
Creditor
asleep
,
that
he
may
disperse
his
poyson
more
securely
,
and
carry
away
the
principall
,
and
by
spoyling
[
e
](A11530-e13170-b)

him
of
his
lively
hood
doth
prejudice
to
his
life
;
so
that
Banckrupts
may
be
justly
called
a
viperous
brood
,
who
eate
out
the
very
bowells
and
the
states
of
their
Creditors
,
that
themselves
may
subsist
in
the
world
.
What
difference
[

then
is
there
betweene

and
an

an
enemie
wisheth
thy

,
and
a
Banckrupt
by
pretending
to

with

,
in
the
end
worketh
thy
ruine
.
[
a

but
heare
their
humble
words
&
view
their

faces
,
no

can

,

,
you
shall
find

which

taking

Colour

devours

.
So
Banckrupts
by
taking
and
counterfeiting
the
colour
of
kinde
and
good
men
,
make
such
as
come
neere
them
their
prey
.
First
then
before
they
break

of

into

,
that
they
may
seeme
rich
and
able
easily
to
satisfie
their
Creditors
,
so
that
no
man
needeth
to
presse
them
?
And
for
this
end
,
they
will
discharge

ingagments
,
that
they
may
seeme
some
body
,
and
good
pay-masters
.
Secondly
,
at
their
very
breaking
they
play
the
hypocrites
,
and
perfidiously
blame
the
perfidiousnesse
of
fortune
,
and
faine
Casualties
,
that
they
may
compound
with
their
Creditors
to

yea
they
will

in
plenty
and
have

coming

flush
;
and
to
bring
their
Creditors
to
pity
them
,
they
can
command
some
feined
teares
to
distill
.
Thirdly
,
after
their
breaking
they
conceive
[
g

.
after
his

that
all

if

and
because

make

and
assume
the
title

,
that
they
may
colour
their
dishonest
gaines
and
base
shuffling
dealings
.
Though
their
dealing
be
naught
,
yet
they
desire
to
seeme
of
honest
and

carriage
;
So
deceitfull

for

,
when

And
therein
[

appeareth
the
extremity
of
their
injustice
,
that
they

that

So
that
whilst

,
they
seeme
honest

but
when

:

point
of

to
consist
in

justice
they
neither

nor

So
being
wholly
possessed
with
this
perswasion

they
cared
not

they

Not

that

the
vertuous
and
commendable
life
of
the
Parents
is
a
Treasure
of

left
to
the
Posterity
.
Thirdly
,
when
their
children
come
into
the
market
place
and
Exchange
,
where
Merchants
shew
themselves
,
presently
some
will
step
in
,
and
with
open
mouths
and
bold
faces
give
items
to
others
to
have
no
dealing
with

or
not

Fourthly
,
if

offered
them
with

honest
Citizens
daughter
,
presently
some
unlucky
bird
will
sing
:
take
heed
and
be
well
advised
;
know
you
not
,
that
his
parents
do

debere
owe
more
than
they
can
pay
?
And

in

thus
this
brute
breaketh
off
the
mariage
.
Thus
Banckrupt
parents
are
many
wayes
injurious
to
their
Children
and
posterity
.
And
here
give
mee
leave
to
lay
an
accusation
against
these
unjust
Parents
:
I
know
well
[
e
](A11530-e13950-b)
e
Cic.
orat
.
for
Cluent
.
that
Children
ought
not
only
to
keep
in
silence
injuries
done
them
by
their
Parents
,
but
also
to
take
them
patiently
,
and
therefore
quietly
will
I
beare
those
things
which
are
to
be
borne
,
and
in
silence
conceale
them
which
are
to
be
concealed
.
But
this
branding
with
Infamy
and
blasting
the
credit
of
the
Children
,
which
proceedeth
wholly
from
the
Parents
,
who
can
keepe
silent
,
who
can
be
so
patient
as
to
bury
it
in
oblivion
?
Is
this
fit
?
The
old
men

the

,
the

They
did

,
these
eat
the
bitter
gall

The

,
the

is
punished
;
the

goeth
away
with
the
fault
,
the
innocent
smarteth

;
The

,
what
the
bad

deserves
:
the
Sonne-in-Law
beareth
the
blame
which
the
Father-in-Lawes

merited

what
can

more
grievous
?

and
if
thou
makest
use
of

needs
must
thou
bee
taken
,
and
if
thou
beest
taken
,
what
canst
thou
expect
but
losse
of
thy
soule
?
Hence
it
is
that
many
catching
at
gold
,
captivate
their
soules
,
and
for
fruition
of
money
adventure
upon
perdition
of
their
owne
salvation
.
O
folly
of
men
!
who
to
advance
their
gaine
run
heedlesse
on
their

What
a

is
it

profits
a
chest
full
of
Gold
,
if
the
Soule
be
empty
of
hope
of
Salvation
?
Wilt
thou
have
good
,
and
wilt
not
thou
thy selfe
bee

?
blush
,
blush
at
the
sight
of
thy

:
sith
an

;
What
[
d

.
will
it
profit
a
man
to
gaine
the
whole
world
and
lose
his
owne
Soule
?
or
what
can
a
man
give
in
recompence
for
his
soule
?
what
can
that
which
a
rich
man
hath
doe
him
good
,
if
he
have
not
God
,
who
hath
all
things
at
command
?
These
things
should
be
your
dayly
and
serious
meditation
;
but
oh
your
disturbed
and
perverted
reason
!
oh
your
unbridled
desires
!
oh
your
dissolute
counsells
!
How
long
will
this
your
fury
delude
you
?
whither
will
this
your
undounded
licentiousnes
carry
you
?
Are
your
minds
so
inflamed
with
folly
,
your
desires
so
infatuated
with
the
love
of
money
,
that
the
feare
of
God
and
care
of
your
Soules
cannot
make
you
more
considerate
,
and
with-draw
you
from
your
thirsting
after
Gold
?
Let
the
salvation
of
your
soules
move
you
,
let
it
I
say
move
you
to
consider
better
of
your
courses
,
for
if
the
Soule
be
once
lost
,
you
shall
be
for
ever
after
most
miserable
.
Thus
far
have
we
treated
of
the
severall
kindes
of
sins
(
the
mischievous
joyes
of
perverted
soules
)
which
doe
proceed
from
the
fraudulent
dealings
of
Banckrupts
;
we
have
painted
out
their
folly
in
its
due
colours
,
but
not
so
fully
,
as
wee
might
have
drawne
it
to
the
life
:
for
there
can
be
no
such
depth
of
invention
,
no
such
Copie
of
Elocution
,
no
such
divine
and
incredible
fluence
of
speech
,
which
can
.
I
will
not
say
fully
expresse
,
but
so
much
as
number
up
the
mischiefs
arising
from
the
courses
of
Banckrupts
.
Surely
as
Covetousnesse
in
the
Antients
esteeme
,
comprehended
in
it
all
vices
in
a
lump
:
So
wee
may
judge
,
that
the
fraudulent
courses
of
Banckrupts
have
a
Confluence
in
them
of
all
evill
:
which
any
man
will
easily
grant
,
if
hee
well
and
seriously
weigh
all
their
actions
.
As
for
us
,
wee
contented
our selves
in
few
words
to
lay
open
few
of
their
evills
in
this
briefe
discourse
.

Great

have

WHat

man
guilty
of
unjust
dealing
escape
the
whip
of
revenge
.
T
is
[
d
](A11530-e14300-b)
d
Menand
as
it
were
fatall
and
unavoidable
,
that
the
unjust
and
injurious
designes
of
evill
men
should
be
required
with
their
deserved
doome
.
Even
the
wisest
sort
of
Heathens
held
[
e
](A11530-e14310-b)
e
Salust
.
it
for
a
truth
that
neither
the
good
nor
the
evill
deeds
of
men
should
passe
unregarded
:
but
that
a
different
requitall
should
attend
both
good
and
bad
,
according
to
the
nature
of
their
deeds
.
And
herein
rightly
have
humane
lawes
imitated
the
true
patterne
of
Gods
Justice
:
for
our
Ancestors
[
f
](A11530-e14320-b)
f
Tacitus
Ann.
have
ordained
that
where
Crimes
went
before
,
due
punishment
should
follow
after
.
Let
us
then
briefly
collect
the
severall
lawes
of
our
forefathers
enacted
against
Banckrupts
,
and
in
order
set
downe
what
hath
been
decreed
.
First
,
by
the
lawes
of
Nations
.
Secondly
,
by
the
Cesarean
lawes
.
Thirdly
,
by
severall
Kings
lawes
.
Fourthly
,
by
the
Common
law
.
Fifthly
,
by
Gods
Law
.
So
shall
we
meet
with
those
fraudulent
persons
in
many
of
their
evill
and
enormous
dealings
.
And
surely
needs
must
these
Banckrupts
be
a
most
wicked
and
bad
kinde
of
men
,
The
Romans
decreed
that
the
debter
owing
very
much
to
his
creditors
,
The
Egyptians
ordeined
that
satisfaction
should
bee
made
by
the
debtors
goods
and
estate
,
but
no
punishment
to
to
be
inflicted
on
the
body
;
Among
the
Boetians
he
that
could
not
pay
his
debts
,
Among
the
Indians
,
Among
the
Pisidians
,
Amongsgt
the
Tyrrhenians
,
The
Judgement
upon
Banckrupts
among
the
Smyrneans
and
Athenians
,
Among
the
Muscovits
,
Among
the
Iurkes
when
any
ones
fraudulent
dealing
is
detected
,
Among
the
Florentines
if
any
bee
Banckrupt
,
and
be
convicted
so
to
be
,
there
is
appointed
him
a
certaine
day
of
payment
,
At
Roan
the
Banckrupts
and
men
insolvent
,
are
made
to
weare
a
greene
hat
,
that
by
this
badge
they
may
be
knowne
from
all
other
men
,
and
that
no
man
unawares
may
enter
into
Covenant
and
bargaine
with
them
which
used
to
faile
and
be
insolvent
.
Hence
it
appeareth
how
contemptibly
divers
Nations
and
people
have
thought
of
debtors
branded
with
ignominy
of
false
dealing
or
notorius
Banckrupts
courses
.
In
the
second
place
the
Caesarean
lawes
against
Banckrupts
have
been
many
.

to

,
than
the

and

of
the
subjects
.
The
Poet
said

that

I
say
these
vices
be
not
banished
the
Citie
,
an
hundred-fold
wall
is
too
little
to
defend
it
.
Now
suppose
the
state
of
a
Kingdome
be
such
,
that
some
of
these
vices
,
at
least
one
of
them
,
namely
fraudulent
dealing
abundantly
raigne
in
peoples
mindes
:
The
question
is
what
shall
the
chiefe
Magistrate
doe
?
Shall
he
wink
at
it
,
or
inflict
severe
punishment
thereon
?
Too
much
mildnesse
and
too
much
severitie
are
both
culpable
,
the
one
lets
the
reines
of
government
hang
too
loose
,
th'
other
holds
them
in
too
streight
;
reason
and
moderation
is
so
to
be
used
in
punishing
,
that
a
Magistrate
observe
a
due
temper
of
Justice
,
and
justly
punish
unjust
defrauders
of
other
men
:
Blessed

Charles

Fifths
Constitution

by

,
&c.
Against
insolvent
and
fugitive
persons
or
Banckrupts
.
We
formerly
ordeined
,
and
further
ordeine
,
That
all
Merchants
and

who
doe
fraudulently
and
deceitfully
beguile
other
Merchants
or
persons
whatsoever
of
their
moneyes
,
wares
,
or

,
shall
be
counted
and
reputed
in

ranck
and
condition
with
arrant
theeves
.
And
by
this
statute
wee
have
and
doe
declare
them
so
to

In
like
manner
we
declare
our
said
minde
to
bee

all
such
as
tolerate

countenance
them

as
also
all
them
that
are
privie
to
the
said
Banckrupts
frauds
,
and
imbezelling
of
other
mens
goods
,
and
know
whither
they
bee
fled
,
and
where
they
hide
themselves
;
unlesse
they
manifest
these
things
unto
the
Judge
or
chiefe
Magistrate
of
the
place
.
Furthermore
we
count
them
in
the
same
rank
with
theeves
,
who
craftily
agitate
the
busines
of
banckrupts
,
who
be
the
Receivers
or
Retaylers
of
their
wares
,
whether
under
the
pretence
and
name
of
partners

otherwise
,
as
also
all
them
that
pretend
and
faine
themselves
to
be
creditors
of
banckrupts
,
by
whose
meanes
the
fraud
and
perfidiousnesse
of
the
Banckrupts
may
be
concealed
or
boulsterd
out
.
All
the
aforesaid
we
have
and
doe
deprive
of
all
the
immunities

Notwithstanding

that
the
priviledges

of
the

enjoying
any

And

We

that
the
Banckrupts

their
Assistants
before

for
an

to
all

And
further
that
the
goods

of
the
said
Banckrupts
and
their
Agents
and
helpers

taken
from
them
,
and

kept
in
some

convenient

for
the

in
Justice
be

Further

the
Husbands

And
that

Charles
the
niuth
King
of
France
in
an
assembly
of
the
Peeres
and
States
,
at
Orleance
,
did
constitute
that
fraudulent
Banckrupts
should
be
extraordinarily
punished
,
and
afterward
put
to
death
.
Who
can
finde

with
this
?

And

Henry
the
third
renewed
and
confirmed
this
edict
against
against
Banckrupts
at
Bloys
,
Anno
1579.
And
let
not

tax
him
of

:
for
hee
that

Henry
the
Fourth
Successor
to
the
former
,
as
in
Kingly
authority
,
to
in

administration
of

,
did
by

in

courses

what
Merchants

,
or

being

,
&c.
to

&c.
shall
be
counted

.
And
further
is

,
by
which
the
body
and
goods
whatsoever
of
the
said
Banckrupts
may
be
seized

Because
banckrupts
fraud
and
deceit
increased
,
(
as
it
is
there
said
)
to
the
hindrance
of
traffick
&
to
the
generall
hurt
of
the
Realme
,
it
is
further
explained
,
who
are
to
be
reputed
Banckrupts
,
and
how
the
power
of
the
Commissioners
should
be
further
inlarged
.
Also
it
is
enacted
,
That
if
Banckrupts
by
conveying
their
lands
,
tenements
,
leases
,
goods
,
Chattells
,
&c.
to
their
Children
,
or
any
other
person
;
or
persons
,
seeke
and
endeavour
to
defraud
their
Creditors
:
That
then
the
said
Commissioners
shall
have
power
to
bargaine
,
sell
,
grant
,
demise
,
convey
,
and
dispose
of
the
same
,
as
if
the
Banckrupts
had
been
actually
possessed
thereof
,
or
as
if
the
debts
were
in
his
owne
name
.
And
that
the
acts
of
the
Commissioners
in
this
kinde
shall
be
good
in
law
against
any
man
,
who
shall
question
the
same
.
See
these
things
in
that
act
more
largely
set
downe
.
It
is
there
also
further
enacted
that
because
the
practises
of
Banckrupts
were
become
secret
,
subtill
,
and
hardly
to
be
found
out
,
in
what
cases
any
one
withdrawing
him
or
herself
from
their
usuall
aboad
,
shall
be
proclaymed
Banckrupt
,
and
how
the
said
Banckrupt
not
appearing
before
the
said
Commissioners
,
is
to
be
apprehended
,
whereever
hee
or
shee
may
be
found
,
in
places
priviledged
or
not
,
and
are
to
be
examined
by
the
Commissioners
about
their
own
lands
,
goods
,
debts
,
books
of
accounts
,
&c.
It
is
also
enacted
that
if
the
offendor
refuse
to
answer
to
the
Interrogatories
propounded
,
that
then
the
Commissioners
shall
have
power
to
commit
him
or
her
to
close
prison
,
till
they
conforme
themselves
.
&c.
'T
is
also
enacted
,
that
if
the
partie
examined
commit
wilfull
or
corrupt
perjury
to
the
endamagement
of
the
Creditors
,
ten
pounds
or
more
,
hee
or
she
shall
bee
indicted
,
&c.
And
being
convicted
shall
bee
set
on
the
pillory
,
and
have
one
care
nayled
thereto
and
cut
off
.
As
also
such
as
have
Banckrupts
goods
or
bee
indebted
to
them
,
shall
bee
examined
by
the
Commissioners
,
and
how
if
in
case
they
refuse
to
appeare
,
or
if
they
appeare
and
refuse
to
answer
to
interrogatories
,
the
Commissioners
shall
have
power
to
cause
them
to
bee
arrested
and
made
to
appeare
,
and
afterward
may
imprison
them
till
they
submit
themselves
to
the
said
Commissioners
,
and
answer
to
the
said
Interrogatories
:
And
if
any
of
the
said
parties
shall
wilfully
and
corruptly
commit
any
manner
of
wilfull
perjurie
by
his
deposition
before
the
Commissioners
,
that
then
it
shall
be
lawfull
to
indict
the
said
persons
,
and
upon
their
conviction
injoyne
them
such
forfeiture
,
and
lay
upon
them
such
paines
and
punishments
,
as
was
limited
Anno
quinto
Eliz.
by
the
Statute
of
perjurie
.
Further
also
it
is
provided
concerning
the
Commissioners
,
how
they
shall
proceed
and
maintaine
their
proceedings
for
the
good
of
the
Creditors
,
and
the
Banckrupt
,
and
for
their
owne
discharge
of
the
trust
committed
to
them
.
And
how
they
shall
proceed
to
execution
of
their
Commission
,
though
the
Banckrupt
die
.
See
these
things
more
fully
declared
in
the
Statute
.
Also
Anno
21.
Iac.
In
regard
that
Banckrupts
much
increased
in
number
,
and
their
fraudes
were
many
in
deluding
the
former
statutes
,
to
the
hinderance
of
traffick
and
Commerce
,
and
the
great
decay
and
overthrow
and
undoing
of
Clothiers
,
&c.
So
that
the
Banckrupts
evill-dealings
tended
(
as
justly
there
is
affirmed
)
to
the
generall
hurt
of
this
Realme
:
It
is
there
enacted
that
all
lawes
made
against
Banckrupts
,
shall
bee
beneficially
construed
for
the
good
of
the
Creditors
.
There
also
is
more
expresly
shewed
who
are
to
be
accompted
banckrupts
,
what
the
authority
of
the
Commissioners
is
,
what
shall
be
the
prosecution
of
the
lawes
in
force
against
Banckrupts
.
'T
is
further
enacted
that
the
wives
of
Banckrupts
shall
be
examined
in
the
same
manner
,
as
was
before
spoken
concerning
the
husbands
.
As
also
in
what
case
the
Banckrupt
and
his
wife
shall
be
set
on
the
pillory
,
&c.
Also
it
is
there
provided
how
the
Banckrupts
goods
&
estate
shall
be
devided
to
the
Creditors
.
Also
how
Banckrupts
making
themselves
accomptants
to
the
Kings
Majestie
,
shall
not
hinder
the
proceedings
of
the
Commissioners
to
right
the
Creditors
.
These
things
and
many
more
are
conteined
and
more
fully
and
largely
set
down
in
the
foresaid
statutes
concerning
Banckrupts
,
for
the
utter
rooting
out
of
all
Banckrupts
courses
,
and
the
bridling
and
reforming
of
so
great
a
mischiefe
to
the
Common
good
.
Leaving
therefore
these
things
to
the
Readers
perusall
in
the
book
of
the
Statutes
at
large
,
we
forbeare
to
cite
any
more
out
of
them
:
And
having
here
inserted
what
wee
thought
most
expedient
for
our
owne
Nation
to
take
notice
of
;
Let
us
proceed
.
1.
They
lay
a
blemish
and
staine
upon
their
credit
and
reputation
,
who
faithfully
pay
not
their
debts
:
for
in
the
constitutions
of
Boniface
the
eight
,
it
is
said
,
he
[
a
](A11530-e15440-b)
a
8.
Rule
of
the
Canon
Law
▪
that
is
once
a
false
dealer
,
is
ever
presumed
so
to
be
.
Thus
the
honour
&
name
of
a
good
man
is
taken
from
a
Banckrupt
:
who
sheweth
himselfe
by
his
fraudulent
course
and
dealing
,
and
by
palliat
and
pretended
honesty
,
to
be
a
knave
,
and
utterly
unworthy
to
be
trusted
,
or
to
have
Covenant
kept
with
him
.
[
c
](A11530-e15460-b)
c
Canon
12.
ordeyned
,
that
he
which
invadeth
another
mans
goods
,
should
not
escape
unpunished
,
but
should
make
restitution
of
all
with
advantage
.
The
second
decree
of
punishment
was
confirmed
by
a
Statute
of
Iohn
the
Fourth
Pope
of
that
name
;
He
that
invadeth
other
mens
goods
let
him
restore
them
foure-fold
.
Yea
,
Eusebius
the
Pope
constituted
,
that
[
e
](A11530-e15500-b)
e
Ibid.
restitution
ten-fold
should
be
made
.
The
third
punishment
of
such
as
unjustly
possesse
themselves
of
other
mens
goods
,
is
,
that
they
should
hope
for
no
remission
of
their
sins
,
untill
they
had
made
restitution
;
for
[

Bonifac.
8.
Rul
4.
in
the
Can.
Law
.
Peccatum
non
remittitur
,
nisi
restituatur
ablatum
.
And
that
there
can
be
no
repentance
,
unlesse
the
goods
ill
gotten
bee
restored
,
is
confirmed
by
this
speech
of
Augustin
in
his
Epistle
to
the
Macedonians
:
4.
To
bring
Banckrupts
to
a
true
sence
of
their
sinnes
,
and
to
fit
them
for
Gods
gratious
work
upon
them
,
and
the
obteyning
of
pardon
of
their
offences
,
by
the
edict
of
the
Lateran
Councell
was
decreed
,
that
they
ought
[
h
](A11530-e15580-b)
h
Lateran
.
Conc.
under
Fabian
.
to
be
excommunicated
,
who
possesse
themselves
of
mens
goods
,
unlesse
they
restore
them
to
their
owners
,
their
heires
or
others
,
to
whom
by
law
the
wronged
persons
goods
descended
,
because
they
rob
and
deprive
them
of
their
estates
,
whom
according
to
the
rule
of
Faith
they
ought
to
relieve
.
See
here
how
antiently
decrees
were
made
to
withdraw
men
from
fraudulent
dealings
,
such
as
are
the
subtilties
of
Banckrupts
,
and
to
lay
Condigne
punishment
upon
them
.
As
men
cut
of
those
parts
of
their
bodies
,
which
want
blood
&
spirit
,
and
would
harme
other
joynts
:
So
evils
are
to
bee
taken
away
from
among
men
,
and
to
be
rooted
out
by
good
lawes
,
lest
they
prove
pernitious
and
hurtfull
to
the
Church
and
Common-wealth
,
or
the
parts
and
members
of
the
same
;
Of
which
kinde
,
we
accompt
the
Courses
of
Banckrupts
in
getting
into
their
clutches
other
mens
goods
▪
and
robbing
and
defrauding
them
thereof
.
They
who
blinded
with
[
b
](A11530-e15630-b)
b
Eu●yp
.
folly
,
and
possessed
with
madnesse
,
out
of
opinion
and
hope
of
gaine
,
neglect
Iustice
,
shall
surely
smart
for
it
:
God
whom
they
see
not
,
will
come
upon
them
with
a
silent
foot
,
and
though
long
after
,
will
catch
the
wretched
man
.
Thus
saith
the
Poet
;
As
if
he
had
learned
from
Deut.
25.
That
he
is
an
abomination
to
God
whosoever
doth
what
God
forbids
and
deales
unjustly
.
Now
God
punisheth
such
falfe
dealers
severally
.
-
1
With
externall
punishments
in
this
life
.
-
2
Internall
punishments
in
this
life
.
-
3
With
grievous
punishments
after
this
life
.
Banckrupts
perhaps
promise
to
themselves
much
happinesse
by
lurching
others
of
their
goods
;
but
behold
how
they
(
such
namely
as
bee
wicked
men
among
them
)
beguile
themselves
,
not
minding
how
great
damage
so
small
gaine
bringeth
unto
them
.
Heare

yee
that
devoure
the
poore
,
and
thrust
the
needy
out
of
the
earth
!
Alas
deceived
souls
,
of
all
miserable
men
the
most
miserable
,
I
appeale
to
your selves
,
you
Banckrupts
,
who
get
into
your
hands
great
sums
of
money
lent
you
,
and
with
set
purpose
and
intent
run
your
Countries
,
&
faine
false
courses
by
which
you
lost
them
,
that
having
put
your
Creditors
to
troubles
suits
,
and
expence
,
and
thereby
wearied
them
,
you
may
force
them
having
been
thus
vexed
,
to
compound
with
you
upon
unreasonable
conditions
.
I
pray
you
say
what
you
shall
gaine
in
the
end
,
when
for
that
fading
pelfe
,
which
you
have
so
greedily
and
falsly
hunted
after
,
and
got
by
hook
and
crook
,
you
shall
at
last
reap
a
sad
and
fearefull
harvest
.
O
sad
and
lamentable
harvest
,
of
externall
and
internall
paines
in
this
life
,
and
of
endlesse
paines
after
this
life
:
Of
these
I
will
now
speake
in
order
.
First
,
God
hath
appointed
externall
divine
punishment
to
be
laid
on
Banckrupts
.
[
a
](A11530-e15810-b)
a
Jod
.
Nahum
Domin
.
22.
Trin.
by
no
meanes
,
equity
may
be
left
unvindicated
,
God
hath
concluded
that
not
the
debtors
only
,
but
their
wives
and
children
should
be
taken
and
become
servants
to
the
Creditors
.
This
shall
be
made
evident
by
reasons
and
examples
:
As
it
was
lawfull
among
the
Hebrewes
[
b
](A11530-e15830-b)
b
Ex.
21.7
.
Lev.
25.39
.
Deut.
15.12
.
for
a
man
to
fell
himselfe
and
his
Children
also
,
when
hee
was
impoverished
:
So
it
is
credible
that
there
was
some
Magistrate
,
who
at
the
suit
of
the
Creditors
,
when
the
debtors
were
insolvent
,
did
require
them
to
sell
themselves
,
and
their
children
,
that
by
this
course
the
debt
might
be
discharged
.
This
may
manifestly
enough
be
collected
from
the
parable
,
Matth.
18.
of
the
King
who
had
bid
that
his
debtor
and
his
sonnes
might
be
sold
,
that
payment
might
be
made
.
With
this
agreeth
2
Kings
4.
Where
a
Widow
complayneth
to
Elisha
that
her
Creditor
did
presse
her
earnestly
,
that
he
would
take
her
two
Sons
from
her
to
be
his
servants
.
What
condition
is
more
grievous
than
servitude
?
If
our
deere
children
and
wives
should
be
taken
from
us
,
and
put
to
perpetuall
servitude
,
what
lamentation
,
what
sighes
would
these
put
us
unto
?
Now
it
is
evident
by
these
places
of
Scripture
,
that
debtors
,
who
were
not
able
to
pay
,
were
in
those
times
sold
,
that
fidelity
might
be
observed
,
and
every
man
might
have
what
in
truth
was
due
unto
him
.

is
implanted

by
the
immortall
God
,
so
that

And
truly
God
hath
for

given

into

,
that

the

and
the

,
that
it
might
be
a
bridle
to
us
before
we
sinne
,
because
[
c

it
hath
in
it
a
detestation
of
that
thing
which
nature
condemneth
;
and
a
scourge
after
sinne
,
because
when
sin
is
committed
,
it
understandeth
the
grievousnes
of
it
.
This
we
see
to
be
true
by
experience
in
unjust
men
,
which
though
they
be
environed
and
defended
which
the
countenance
and
assistance
of
great
men
,
yet
when
their
consciences
are
troubled
,
their
mindes
are
inwardly
gnawed
with
wondrous
torments
,
which
never
give
them
a
breathing
space
,
never
suffer
them
to
rest
.
So
that
they
are
not
unlike
to
Prometheus

who
is
said
to
be
chained
upon

,
and
to
have
his
liver
torne
continually
by
a
devouring
Vulture
.
In
this
manner
fareth
it
with
Banckrupts
,
who
rob
others
of
their
money
.
So
that
if
not
in
the
very
act

yet
soone
after

,
they
feele
grievous
stings

,

for

But
thou
wilt
say
,
thy

,
and
rejoyce
.
I
confesse
it
,
but
their
joy
at
their
bankets
is
not
a
true
and
right
joy
:
Surely
t
is
no
other
than
joy
of
such
as
lying
in
prison
adjudged
to
death
,
sometimes
play
at
cards
and
dice
,
and
think
to
beguile
their
griefe
,
but
cannot
;
for
the
terror
of
the
punishment
shortly
to
be
inflicted
is
so
deep
imprinted
in
their
minds
,
that
it
cannot
bee
removed
.
The
representation
of
pale
death
,
still
attendeth
in
their
sight
;
so
the
punishment
due
to
the
wicked
dealings
of
unjust
Banck
rupts
&
insolvent
tradesmen
,
sticketh
fast
in
their
mindes
and
suffereth
them
not
to
rest
.
The
conscience
privy
to
their
wicked
fraudulent
and
injurious

,
doth
disquiet
and
terrify
them
with
restlesse

the

commeth

for

day
,
in
which
God
shall

all

according

Then

in

account
shall

And
fifthly
,
whereas

times
past
offenders

to
Temples

,
and

might
not

;
and
at
this
day
there
be
priviledged
places
,
which

Sanctuaries
,
keep
Banckrupts
and
insolvent
men
from
molestation
;
in
the
last
day
the
fraudulent

escape
,
there
will
be
no
Sanctuary
to
protect
them
.
And
sixthly
,
there
will
be
no
escape
,
no
starting-hole
,
no
shifting
for
malefactors
:
there
can
be
no
colour
to
cloake
their
lies
and
cheating
,
no
pretence
sufficient
to
boulster
out
their
frauds
&
guile
.
Such
as
had
nothing
truly
their
owne
,
but
a
tongue
to
lie
and
forsware
,
and
fraudulent
cunning
tricks
and
wicked
devices

but
more
justly

Thus
have

,
what
will
be
the
punishments
of

.
In

take
heed

and
avoid

and
conceive
that

is

THE
PRACTISE
OF
THE
BANCKRVPTS
OF
THESE
TIMES

The
fourth
Part
,
Concerning
the
remedy
of
their
practises
.
T
Is
now
full
time
to
come
to
the
remedies
of
Banckrupts
practises
:
For
we
have
layd
open
their
wounds
,
not
out
of
a
desire
to
hurt
them
,
or
shame
them
:
but
to
better
them
,
and
cure
their
maladies
.
Now
as
Physitians
having
found
the
causes
of
a
disease
,
[

old
diseases
,
and
so
ill
manners
of
men
inveterated
and
habituated
,
require
the
more
care
in
their
cure
:
We
also
for
the
cure
of
the
spreading
disease
of
Banckrupts
,
will
with
all
care
imitate
the
guise
of
the

who

for

of

in

.
Let
us
then
in
like
manner
publish
holy
Antidotes
and
preservatives
for
the
cure
of
Banckrupts
diseases
,
which
we
wil
borrow
from
the
sacred
Scriptures
:

therfore

and

and
confesseth
them
,
may
be
rightly
judged
to
be
in
the
ready
way
to
recovery
:
But
thou
wilt
say
:
Indeed
I
shamed
not
to
commit
sinns
,
but
I
am
ashamed
to
confesse
them
.
O

incredible
folly
!
art
thou
not
ashamed
of
the
wound
,
and
art
thou
ashamed
to
have
it
bound
up
?
Hee
that
denyeth
,
[
c
](A11530-e16360-b)
c
Plutarch
.
concealeth
,
and
covereth
his
vices
,
maketh
them
to
take
deeper
root
in
him
;
and
he
stoppeth
up
the
way
to
his
cure
,
that
will
not
open
the
cause
of
his
disease
to
his
Physitian
.
Tell
mee
how
will
God
vouchsafe
to
pardon
that
sinne
,
which
man
will
not
vouchsafe
and
humble
himselfe
to
confesse
?
Wherefore
[
d
](A11530-e16370-b)
d

.
for
thy
Souls
good
bee
not
ashamed
to
confesse
the
truth
:
there
is
a
shame
that
bringeth
sinne
,
and
there
is
a
shame
that
bringeth
grace
and
glory
.
In
regard
of
the
concealing
and
not
confessing
sinne
:
the
Kingly
Prophet
said
;
When
I
kept
[
e

silence
,
my
bones
waxed
old
through
my
roaring
all
the
day
long
:
and
to
encourage
us
to
confession
St
Iohn
saith
,
If
wee

f
](A11530-e16440-b)

confesse
our
sinnes
,
God
is
faithfull
and
just
to
forgive
us
our
sinnes
and
to
purge
us
from
iniquity
.
Thus
is
Confession
Salvation
to
the
Soule
and
the
queller
of
vices
.
Wherefore
let
not
the
Banckrupt
conceale
and
hide
,
but
confesse
and
acknowledge
his
offences
.

hath
not
the
least
place
among
the
vertues
:
because
it
is
a
correcting
of
a
mans
selfe
;
and
if
when
we
have
sinned
we
grieve
thereat
and
confesse
that
we
have
done
amisse
,
and
crave
pardon
of
God
,
hee
(
such
is
his
mercy
)
will
not
deny
us
pardon
,
unlesse
we
continue
in
our
sinnes
:
Great
is
the
help
,
great
is
the
comfort
of
repentance
,
it
is
the
curing
of
our
wounds
and
the
hope
and

of

.
When

doth
not
more
take
away
rust
from

,
than
prayer
purges
the
filth
of
our
sins
;
wherfore
let
the
Banckrupt
pray
now
as
heartily
and
opportunely
,
as
he
hath
hath
sinned
highly

proudly
.
Let
him
prepare
his

constantly
to
powre

supplications

prayers
,
and
in
the
end
he
shall
prevaile
for

With
heart
and

let
him
thus
say
.
O
Lord
,
though
I
have
lost
my
integrity
by
my
sinne
,
yet
have
I
not
bereaved
thee
of
thy

;
doe
not
,
O

so
observe
the
evill
of
my

as
to

the
goodnesse
of

:
Be
not

mindfull
of
thy
just
anger
against
my

,
that
thou
minde
not
thy

pitty
to

.
True
it
is
,
that
my
guilty
conscience
hath
deserved
damnation
,
and
my
repentance
hath
not
been
sufficient
to
satisfie
thee
.
But
sure
it
is
,
that
thy
mercy
is
beyond
all
my
sin
:
Therfore

let

while

lest

in

If

Secondly

for

[

at

the

were
so
carefull

they
founded

should
imploy

This

he
may

all

more
worthy

,
and
take
great
care
to
have

I

what

Are

So

But
when
