is

By
this
definition
it
appears
,
that
the
ordinary
liuing
or
reuenew
of
a
Parsonage
,
is
of
3
sorts
:
the
one
in
Land
,
commonly
called
the
Glebe
:
another
in
Tithe
,
which
is
a
set
and
regular
part
of
our
goods
rendered
to
God
.
the
third
,
in
other
offrings
and
oblations
bestowed
vpon
God
and
his
Church
,
by
the
people
,
either
in
such
arbitrable
proportion
as
their
owne
deuotion
moueth
them
,
or
as
the
lawes
or
customes
of
particular
places
doe
require
them
.

Though
I
inuert
order
a
little
,
Lawe
of
Nature
teacheth
vs
that
God
is
to
bee
honoured
:
and
that
the
honour
due
vnto
him
,
cannot
bee
performed
without
Ministers
,
nor
the
Ministers
attende
their
function
without
maintenance
.
And
therefore
seeing
God
is
the
supreame
Lord
and
possessor
of
all
,
Lawe
of
Nature
teacheth
vs
to
doe
:
and
this
the
Lawe
of
GOD
requireth
also
at
our
hands
:
but
what
the
set
portion
of
our
goods
should
bee
,
that
thus
wee
ought

render

vnto
God

Therfore
though
Leuy
receiued

afterward
,
by

from

:
yet
now

may
well
note
vnto
vs
,
that

also

And
therfore
[

in

saith
:
that

And
in

:
it
may
also
well
intimate
vnto

to
what
kinde
of

we
are

God
also
requireth
this
dutie
of
tythe
by
his
owne
mouth
,
as
of
olde
belonging
vnto
him
,
before
the
Leuites
were
called
to
the
seruice
of
the
Tabernacle
:
and
before
they
were
named
in
Scripture
.
For
they
are
not
named
till
Exodus
.

And
it
is
said
in
Exodus

Thine

shalt
thou
not
keepe
backe
:
meaning
Tithes

therfore
Ierome
doubteth
not
so
to
translate
it
;
Thy
Tithes
and
first
Fruits
shalt
thou
not
keepe
backe
.
And
in
this
manner
of
speech
,
the
word
Keepe
backe
,
sheweth
that
it
was
a
thing
formerlie
due
vnto
GOD
:
for
wee
cannot
say
,
that
any
thing
is
kept
backe
,
or
with-holden
that
was
not
due
before
.
Therefore
wee
finde
no
originall
commondement
of
giuing
tithe
vnto
GOD
:
but
vpon
the
first
mentioning
of
them
in
Leuiticus
,
they
are
positiuely
declared
to
bee
His
,
as
a
part
of
His
Crowne
,
and
ancient
demaine
;
for
it
is
there
said
,

All
the

of

the

And
Moses
commandeth
not

but
declareth
the
Right
that
of

belonged
to
GOD
:
namely
,
that
All
the
tithes
of
the
land
was
his
.
Other
phrases
of
Scripture
doe
confirme
this
;
for
afterward
when
tithes
came
to
be
assigned
to
the
Leuites
:
God
doth
not
say
,
The
children
of
Israel
shal
giue
their
tithes
to
the
Leuites

but
he
saith
,
Behold
I

they
that

more
largely

I

Touching
the
land
,
Gods
fixt
inheritance
,
but
that
I
see
it
is
moueable
:
)
I
cannot
say
that
they
are
Gods
ancient
demaines
,
in
the
same
forme
that
tithes
are
,
and
as
our
Clergie
enioieth
them
,
but
the
warrant
and
ground
thereof
,
riseth
out
of
the
word
of
God
,
who
not
onely
gaue
vs
a
president
thereof
,
when
hee
appointed
Cities
for
the
Leuites
to
dwel
in
,
with
a
conuenient
circuit
of
fields
for
the
maintenance
of
their
Cattell
,
Num.

,
&c.
but
commanded
also
the
Children
of
Israel
(
and
in
them
all
the
Nations
of
the
world
:
)
that
in
diuision
of
their
land
,
they
should
offer
an
oblation
to
the
Lord
,
an
holy
portion
of
the
Land
for
the
Priest
to
dwell
on
,
and
to
build
the
house
of
GOD
vpon
:
Ezeck

So
that
the
houses
and
lands
that
our
Ancestors
haue
dedicated
to
God
in
this
manner
,
for
the
Churches
and
Ministers
of
this
time
:
are
now
also
his
right
and
iust
inheritance
,
as
well
as
those
which
the
Israelites
assigned
for
the
house
of
God
,
and
Leuites
of
that
time
▪
and
commeth
vpon
the
same
reason
and
in
lieu
thereof
.
But
because
it
is
vncertain
when
and
how
they
were
brought
into
the
Church
,
I
will
say
something
touching
that
point
.
In
the
time
of
the
Apostles
the
vse
was
(
as
appeareth
Acts
2.
45.
&
Acts
4.
34
,
&
35.
)
to
sell
their
lands
,
[
a
](A12763-e3030-b)
a
It
appeareth
by
the
Epistles
of
Pius
and
Vrban
who
liued
about
the
yeere
of
Christ
230.
that
the
Church
of
Rome
had
then
begum
to
retain
lands
in
this
manner
vpon
this
reason
,
&
it
may
well
be
,
for
that
Origen
&
Eusebius
shew
,
that
Churches
had
then
possessions
.
it
found
much
casualty
in
pecuniary
contributions
,
and
chused
therefore
rather
to
retaine
the
Lands
themselues
,
giuen
for
the
maintenance
of
Gods
Priests
and
Ministers
:
then
(
by
suffering
the
same
to
be
sold
)
to
furnish
the
time
present
with
abundance
,
and
leaue
the
future
time
to
hazard
and
vncertainety
.

thus
giuen
,
and
to
leaue
them
ouer
to
their
successors
for
a
perpetual
Dowry
of
the
Church
.
And
this
vpon
experience
was
found
to
be
so
godly
and
worthy
a
course
,
that
it
not
onely
receiued
the
applause
of
all
succeeding
ages
:
But
commendeth
for
euer
vnto
vs
their
temperance
,
in
desiring
no
more
then
for
present
necessity
,
their
zeal
in
prouiding
for
posterity
,
and
their
great
wisdome

(

were

yet
,
at

it
might

:
and
therefore
when

serued
,
they
would
by

meanes
prouide
that
the
Church
for
euer
,
should
haue

her
own

this
ensued
many

and
(
by
adding
a

aspiration
to
it

our
vsuall
word
Chyrch
or
Church
,
as
it
were
to

,
which
IACOB
dedicating
vnto
GOD
,
called
(
Bethel

)
that
is
,
the
house
of
God

But
both
Church
and
Church-liuings
were
thus
solemnely
deliuered
into
Gods
possession

and
therefore
all

are

Euery

And
in
what
sort
I
vnderstand
the
word
Holy
,
I
haue
before
declared
.

As
then
the

The
cause
why
I
touched
vppon
this
one
heathen
Example
,
Iesus
Christ
him
.
selfe
?
What
is
to
despise
him
;
if
to
robbe
him
of
his
honor
,
be
not
despise
him
?
Or
what
is
to
rob
him
of
honour
,
if
to
take
from
him
the
things
giuen
him
for
maintenance
thereof
,
bee
not
to
rob
him
?
Therefore
when
the
children
of
Israel
withheld
their
tithes
&
offerings
from
the
Leuites
,
hee
crieth
out
in
Malachy
3.
8.
That
himselfe
was
robbed
and
spoiled
:
and
was
so
highly
offended
therewith
,
that
hee
cursed
the
whole
Nation
for
it
.
And
to
make
this
sin
appeare
the
more
monstrous
,
he
conuinceth
the
offenders
therein
:
not
onely
to
bee
violaters
of
his
Legall
ordinances
,
but
euen
of
the
very
lawe
of
Nature
,
written
in
the
heart
of
euery
man
.
For
,
saith
he
,
Will
any
man
spoile
his
gods
?
As
if
hee
should
say
:
Can
such
a
man
bee
found
as
will
,
or
dares
commit
that
sinne
,
that
all
the
Nations
of
the
world
,
euen
by
the
instinct
of
nature
,
account
to
bee
so
horrible
and
impious
?
To
spoile
his
gods
:
what
his
owne
gods
?
Some
were
found
,
that
now
and
then
aduentured
to
spoile
the
gods
of
other
Nations
(
yet
not
without
punishment
)
but
fewe
or
none
that
I
reade
of
(
till
these
latter
daies
)
that
spoiled
their
owne
gods
,
in
apparent
and
ouert
manner
,
as
the
Lawyers
terme
it
.
I
count
it
not
ouert
and
apparant
,
when
we
doe
as
Ananias
and
Saphira
did
:
pinch
&
detract
from
God
,
somewhat
of
that
we
vowed
to
giue
:
Nor
,
when
we
doe
as
the
children
of
Israel
heere
did
;
withhold
that
which
wee
ought
to
pay
out
of
our
own
goods
(
yet
both
these
were
heinous
sinners
,
and
dreadfully
punished
.
)
But
I
call
it
ouert
&
apparant
,
when
we
throw
our selues
into
a
more
dangerous
sinne
,
by
inuading
openly
the
deuotions
of
other
men
,
and
taking
that
from
God
and
from
his
Church
,
8
Doubtlesse
we
haue
much
to
feare
in
this
point

This
Psalme

alledged
to
this

by
Lucius

epistle

in
inueying
particularly
against
these
kind
of
sinners
▪
such
(
expresly
)
as
would
take
to
themselues
the
houses
of
God
in
possession
;
for
that
onely
is
the
very
center
of
the
Psalme
,
and
therein
do
all
the
lines
and
proiections
of
the
Prophets
inuectiues
,
incurre
.
First
hee
maketh
a
flat
opposition
between
God
and
them
:
and
therefore
calleth
them
his
enemies
.
Then
he
describeth
the
nature
of
these
kinde
of
enemies
:
namely
,
that
they
are
murmuring
enemies
,
as
grudging
,
and
enuying
at
the
prosperity
of
the
Church
:
Malicious
enemies
:
as
hating
,
or
hurting
the
seruice
of
God
.
Proud
enemies
,
as
lifting
vp
their
heads
against
God
:
ver.
2.
Craftie
enemies
;
as
imagining
how
to
beguile
the
Church
.
Conspiring
enemies
;
as
taking
Counsell
together
against
Gods
secret
ones
(
as
the
Prophet
calleth
them
)
that
is
,
Gods
seruants
&
Ministers
:
ver.
3.
And
lastly
,
Confederate
enemies
:
as
combining
them
selues
one
by
example
of
another
,
to
perseuere
in
their
course
of
wronging
and
violating
the
Church
:
vers.
5.
Yet
for
all
this
,
those
against
whom
the
Prophet
thus
enueigheth
,
did
not
that
they
desired
▪
They
discouered
their
malitious
purpose
by
word
of
mouth
,
saying
:
Let
vs
take
to
our selues
the
houses
of
God
in
possession
.
But
they
onely
said
it
,
they
did
it
not
.
Their
will
was
good
,
but
their
power
failed
.
Our
will
and
power
haue
both
preuailed
:
for
wee
haue
got
the
houses
of
God
into
our
possession
:
His
Churches
,
his
lands
,
his
offerings
,
his
holy
rights
.
We
haue
gotten
them
,
and
led
them
away
captiue
,
bound
in
cheines
of
yron
:
that
is
,
so
conueied
and
assured
vnto
vs
,
by
Deed
,
by
Fine
,
by
Act
of
Parliament
,
as
if
they
neuer
should
returne
again
vnto
the
Church
.
But
heare
what
Dauid
saith
to
those
of
his
time
.
Mark
how
he
praieth
for
them
.
Marke
what
strange
and
exquisite
punishments
he
designeth
to
them
:
and
that
in
as
many
seuerall
all
sorts
,
as
there
are
seuerall
branches
in
this
kind
of
sinne
.
First
,
hee
praieth
,
that
God
would
deale
with
them
,
as
hee
did
with
the
Madianites
:
vers
.
9.
That
is
,
that
as
Geaeon
by
Trumpets
and
Lampes
,
strooke
such
a
terrour
in
the
night
time
,
into
the
hearts
of
the
Madianites
,
that
the
whole
army
fell
into
confusion
,
drew
their
swords
one
vpon
another
,
were
discomfited
and
120
thousand
of
them
slaine
.
So
that
God
by
his
trumpets
,
the
Preachers
of
his
word
,
by
his
Lamps
,
which
is
,
the
light
of
the
Gospell
,
would
confound
in
like
manner
,
the
enemies
and
spoilers
of
his
Church
,
that
sleepe
in
the
night
of
their
sinne
:
And
that
hee
would
make
them
like
Oreb
,
and
Zeb
,
like
Zeba
and
Salmana
:

But
doth
the
Prophet
stay
here
?
no
,
he
goeth
on
with
them
:
O
my
God
,
saith
he
,
make
them
like
a
wheele
.
vers
.
13.
that
is
,
wauering
and
vnstable
in
their
actions
:
so
as
they
may
neuer
bring
their
purposes

end

Yea
,
make
them
abiect
and
contemptible
;
like
the
chaffe
that

wind
scattereth

face
of

vers

13.
Well
,
is
hee
now
satisfied
?
no.
All
this
doth
but
whet
his
spirits
to
sharper
imprecations
.
He
now
desireth
that
the
very
floudgates
of
Gods
wrath
may
be
broken
open
vpon
them
;
and
that
the
tempest
of
his
indignation
may
rage
at
full
against
them
:
now
he
crieth
out
to
God
to
consume
them
without
mercy
,
yea
and
that
in
two
terrible
manners
.
One
naturally
,
As
the
fire
burneth
vp

wood
.
The
other
miraculously
,
As
the
flame
censumeth

vers.

Persecute
them
euen
so
,
(
saith
hee
)
with
thy
tempest
,
and
make
them
afraid
with
thy
storme
.
Make
their
faces
ashamed
,
O
Lord
,
that
they
may
seeke
thy
name
.
Let
them
be
confounded
and
vexed
euer
more
and

,
let
them
bee
put
to
shame
and
perish

How
should
the
wit
of
man
discouer
and
prosecute
a
sin
in
more
vehement
and
horrible
manner
?
Or
,
what
shall
make

from

haughty
sinnes

You
see
how
Dauid
in
this
his
sacred
fury
,
The
zeale
of
thine
house
hath
eaten
me
vp
:
Psal.
69.
9.
Yet
,
he
spake
it
not
of
himselfe
alone
:
but
in
the
person
also
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
;
who
in
prosecution
of
Dauids
zeale
,
did
that
in
this
case
;
that
hee
neuer
did
at
any
time
else
in
all
his
life
.
In
all
other
cases
he
shewed
himselfe
like
the
Pascall
Lambe
,
that
euery
body
did
eat
and
deuour●
at
pleasure
;
and
like
the
sheep
that
was
dumbe
before
the
shearer
,
euen
when
his
very
life
was
taken
from
him
.
But
when
he
saw
the
golden
fleece
to
be
taken
from
the
house
of
God
:
that
is
,
when
hee
saw
the
Church
his
beloued
spouse
,
depriued
and
spoiled
of
the
honour
,
reuerence
,
dutie
and
ornament
,
that
belonged
to
her
:
Then
,
as
Dauid
did
,
he
groweth
into
a
sacred
fury
;
hee
leaueth
the
mildnesse
of
the
Pascall
Lambe
,
and
taketh
vppon
him
the
fiercenesse
of
the
Lion
of
Iuda
.
Then
he
beginneth
to
bestir
him
,
and
to
lay
about
him
.
He
whippeth
out
them
that
prophaned
it
;
driueth
out
their
sheep
&
their
oxen
,
though
they
were
for
the
sacrifice
:
and
ouerthroweth
the
table
of
the
mony
changers
:
But
ere
I
depart
from
this
place
of
Scripture
;
let
me
note
one
thing
more
out
of
it
,
for
the
greater
reuerence
of
Churches
:
that
although
our
Lord
bee
heer
said
,
to
haue
cast
these
things
out
of
the
Temple
;
yet
,
in
truth
,
they
were
not
in
the
Temple
it selfe
,
but
in
the
outward
court
or
yard
thereof
.
For
within
the
inward
parts
of
the
Temple
,
(
namely
,
the
first
,
and
second
Tabernacles
)
did
no
man
enter
,
but
the
Leuite
Priests
:
Priest
of
Leuy
:
but
of
the
Tribe
of
Juda
(
of
which
Tribe
Moses
spake
nothing
touching
the
Priesthood
:
Heb.
7.
14.
)
I
take
it
,
that
[
a
](A12763-e5720-b)
a
Christ
came
to
fulfill
the
Law
,
&
not
to
break
it
.
Therefore
(
doubtles
)
he
obserued
the
rules
thereof
,
and
the
quality
of
his
Tribe
.
he
neuer
came
within
these
parts
of
the
Temple
:
nor
where
the

was
,
but

For

were

was

with

Temple
:
And
taken

But
some
will
say
,
that
the
sanctification
of
the
Temple
was
Leuiticall
,
three
functions
;
which
also
had
three
seuerall
places
assigned
to
them
.
The
first
,
belonged
to
the
Diuine
presence
;
&
had
the
custody
of
the
Holiest
types
thereof
;
the
Oracle
,
the
Arke
,
the
Mercy-seat
,
&c.
and
was
therefore
called
Sanctum
Sanctorum
,
or
the
Holiest
of
all
.
The
second
,
was
for
ceremoniall
worship
&
attonement
:
namely
,
by
sacrifice
,
oblations
,
and
other
Leuiticall
rites
:
the
place
thereof
being
the
the
Sanctuary
,
(
wherein
were
the
Holy
vessels
)
and
the
Court
of
Priests
,
wherein
the
Altar
of
burnt
sacrifice
did
stand
.
The
third
,
was
for
simple
worshippe
,
praier
,
and
doctrine
(
without
any
pompe
or
ceremony
:
)
and
the
place
of
this
,
was
the
outward
Court
,
(
called

)
which
therefore
had
in
it
no
Ceremoniall
implement
at
all
.
The
two
first
of
these
functions
,
with
the
places
belonging
to
them
;
were
indeed
particularly
appropriate
to
the
Law
.
For
,
they
were
Ceremoniall
,
Mysticall
,
Secret
,
Leuiticall
,
Iudaicall
,
and
Temporall-Ceremoniall
,
as
celebrated
with
much
worldly
pompe
.
Mysticall
,
as
figurating
some
spirituall
things

Secret
;
as
either
performed
behinde
the
Veile
or
Curtaine
:
or
else
sequestred
&
romote
from
the
people
.
Leuiticall
;
as
committed
only
to
the
administration
;
of
that
Tribe
▪
Iudaicall
;
as
ordained
onely
for
the
saluation
of
that
people
.
And
Temporall
;
as
instituted
onely
for
a
season
,
and
not
to
continue
.
But
the
Sanctification
,
of
the
third
function
,
and
of
the
place
thereto
appointed
,
was
directly
contrary
in
al
the
points
alledged
to
the
former
two
.
First
(
as
I
said
before
)
it
was

Doctrine
which
were
there
to
be
performed
and
deliuered
in
all
sinceritie
,
without
any
ceremony
or
ceremoniall
implement
vsed
therein
.
Secondly
,
there
was
no
matter
of
mystery
therein
to
be
seene
▪
but
whatsoeuer
was
mysticall
in
the
Law
,
or
the
Prophets
,
was
there
expounded
.
Thirdly
,
nothing
there
,
was
hidden

secret
from
the
people
,
but
acted
wholly
without
the
Veile
,
and
publikely
for
euery
man
.
Fourthly
,
it
was
not
appropriate
to
the
Leuites
,
but
common
alike
to
all
the
Tribes
.
Fifthly
,
not
ordained
for
the
Iewes
particularly
,
but
for
all
Nations
in
generall
.
And
lastly
,
not
to
endure
for
a
time
,
(
as
those
other
two
of
the
Law
)
but
to
continue
for
euer
:
euen
after
the
Gentiles
were
called
as
well
as
the
Iewes
:
that
is
,
during
the
time
of
the
Gospell
,
as
well
as
the
Law
.
Therefore
,
saith
God
,
by
Isaias
the
Prophet
,
cap.
56.
7.
My
house
shall
bee
called
an
house
of
Praier
,
to
all
Nations
.
Hee
said
not
,
an
House
of
Sacrifice
to
all
Nations
:
for
the
Sacrifice
ended
,
before
the
calling
of
the
Gentiles
,
and
so
they
could
haue
no
part
thereof
.
Nor
an
House
of
praier
for
the
Jewes
onely
,
for
then
had
the
Gentiles
(
when
they
were
called
)
been
likewise
excluded
.
But
an
House
of
praier
to
all
Nations
,
that
is
,
Iewes
and
Gentiles
indifferently
:
which
therefore
,
must
haue
relation
to
the
times
of
the
Gospel
.
And
consequently
,
the
sanctification
of
that
house
,
and
of
that
function
,
is
also
a
sanctification
of
the
Churches
of
the
Gospel
.
We
read
not
therefore
,
that
Christ
reformed
any
thing
in
the
other
two
functions
of
the
Temple
;
for
they
were
now
,
as
at
an
end
.
But
because
this
third
function
was
for
euer
to
continue
to
his
Church
:
therefore
hee
purgeth
it
of
that
that
prophaned
it
;
restoreth
it
(
as
hee
did
mariage
)
to
the
originall
sanctitie
:
And
that
the
future
world
(
which
was
the
time
of
the
Gospell
)
might
better
obserue
it
,
then
the
precedent
,
and
time
of
the
Law
had
done
;
hee
reporteth
,
and
confirmeth
the
decree
,
whereby
it
was
sanctified
:
It
is
written
,
saith
he
,
(
as
producing
the
record
and
wordes
of
the
foundation
)
My
house
shall
bee
called
an
house
of
praier
to
all
people
.
Hee
saith
,
My
House
,
as
excluding
all
other
,
from
hauing
any
property
therein
;
for
,
God
will
bee
Ioynt-tenant
with
no
man
.
And
it
shall
bee
,
An
house
of
praier
for
all
people
:
that
is
,
publike
foreuer
;
not
priuate
,
nor
appropriate
to
any
▪
nor
a
denne
of
theeues
;
that
is
,
no
place
of
Merchandise
,
or
secular
businesse
,
as
Saint
I●rome
expoundeth
it
.
It
must
not
be
an
Impropriation
;
no
man
can
,
or
may
hold
it
in
that
kind
.
The
time
also
when
our
Sauiour
pronounced
these
words
is
much
to
the
purpose
as
it
seemeth
to
mee
.
For
it
was
after
he
had
turned
out
the
oxen
&
doues
;
that
is
,
the
things
for
the
Sacrifice
.
As
though
,
hee
thereby
taught
vs
,
that
when
the
Sacrificall
function
of
the
Temple
was
ended
:
yet
the
sanctification
thereof
,
to
bee
an
house
of
prayer
,
for
euer
remained
.
11
This
doctrine
of
our
Sauiour
,
Despise
ye
the
Church
of
God
?
To
despise
the
place
that
God
hath
sanctified
vnto
himselfe
;
by
making
it
,
as
Saint
Ierome
saith
,
Triclineum
epularum
,
spoile
their
gods
.
And
the
holy
Ghost
heere
wondereth
,
that
any
should
despise
the
materiall
Church
:
for
so
Saint
Ierome
expoundeth
it
.
Thus
both
of
them
wonder
at
one
&
the
same
thing
:
that
any
man
should
be
so
irreligious
,
as
to
profane
the
reuerence
due
vnto
God
,
and
that
that
is
his
.
12
So
precise
therefore
were
the
Ancient
Fathers
in
this
point
,
Serm.

21●
that
,
that
meeke
Saint
of
God
,
Saint
Augustine
,
would
by
no
meanes
endure
that
any
should
vse
clamors
,
or
dancing
within
the
vi●●
of
the
Church
.
Yea
,
hee
termeth
them
,
Miserable
and
wretched
men
that
did
it
And
denounceth
against
them
,
that
If
such
came
Christians
to
the
Church
,
they
went
Pagans
home
.
But
when
the
Church
it selfe
came
to
be
abused
!
Oh
,
how
Saint
Ambrose
taketh
it
,
euen
against
the
Emperour
himselfe
,
great
Valentinian
that
required
it
for
an
Arian
:
O
(
saith
hee
)
let
him
aske
that
is
mine
,
my
lands
,
my
goods
,
and
whatsoeuer
I
possesse
,
I
will
not
deny
them
;
yet
are
they
not
mine
,
but
belong
to
the
poore
.
Verum
ea
quae
diuina
sunt
,
&c.
saith
hee
,
but
those
things
that
are
Gods
,
are
not
subiect
to
the
authoritie
of
the
Emperour
.
If
my
lands
(
I
say
)
be
desired
,
enter
them
a
Gods
name
;
if
my
body
,
I
will
carry
it
him
;
if
hee
will
haue
mee
to
prison
,
yea
,
vnto
death
,
it
pleaseth
mee
well
,
I
will
not
defend
my selfe
with
multitude
of
people
,
neither
will
I
flie
to
the
Altar
,
desiring
my
life
,
but
with
all
my
heart
will
die
for
the
Altars
.
And
after
,
in
speaking
of
the
impious
Souldiers
:
O
that
God
(
saith
hee
)
would
turne
their
hands
from
violating
the
Church
,
and
then
let
them
turne
all
their
weapons
vpon
mee
,
and
take
their
fill
of
my
bloud
.
And
many
such
excellent
speeches
he
hath
for
the
sanctity
of
the
Church
,
and
of
the
reuerence
due
vnto
it
,
in
his
Oration
,
De
Basilicis
tradendis
.
My
purpose
is
to
bee
short
;
I
will
not
therefore
now
enter
any
further
into
the
authorities
of
the
Fathers
:
or
meddle
with
the
Councels
and
ancient
Canons
of
the
Church
which
abound
so
in
this
kind
of
zeale
,
and
haue
established
it
(
against
the
Eustathians
,
M●ssalians
,
and
Fraticelli
,
[
*
](A12763-e7080-b)
*
Heretikes
which
contemned
Churches
.
heretikes
:
and
all
other
the
enemies
thereof
)
with
so
many
examples
,
admonitions
,
exhortations
,
precepts
,
threatnings
,
curses
,
and
excommunications
:
as
it
requireth
a
booke
alone
to
repeat
them
.
13
It
seemeth
a
small
thing
to
daunce
in
the
Church-yard
,
consisteth
also
euen
in
the
small
things
.
we
giue
not
the
water
passage
,
no
not
in
a
little
.
For
he
that
oponeth
the
waters
but
a
little
,
knoweth
not
how
great
a
breach
they
will
make
at
length
.
So
is
it
to
make
an
entrance
into
sin
,
or
to
breake
the
reuerence
of
holy
things
in
trifles
.
Therefore
God
punished
seuerely
the
petty
offenders
in
this
kind
:
not
Corah
onely
and
his
company
,
that
inuaded
the
high
function
of
the
Priesthood
:
but
euen
him
that
gathered
the
stickes
on
the
Sabath
day
:
Numb.
15.
34.
And
poore
Vzzah
himselfe
(
whom
Dauid
so
much
lamented
)
that
did
,
as
it
were
,
but
stay
the
Arke
from
shaking
,
(
2.
Sam.
6.
6.
and
1.
Chron.
13.
9.
)
and
yet
died
for
it
,
because
his
hand
was
not
sanctified
to
that
purpose
.
14
I
conclude
this
point
with
the
saying
of
Salomon
,
It
is
a
snare
for
a
man
to
deuoure
that
which
is
sanctified
,
and
after
the
Vowes
,
to
enquire
.
A
Snare
hath
three
properties
.
First
,
to
catch
suddenly
.
Secondly
,
to
hold
surely
.
Thirdly
,
to
destroy
certainly
.
So
was
Vzza
taken
ere
hee
was
aware
:
hee
did
but
touch
the
Arke
,
and
presently
hee
was
catcht
.
King
Vzziah
did
but
meddle
with
the
incense
,
and
presently
the
Leprosie
was
on
his
face
:
2.
Chron.
26.
19.
Jeroboam
did
but
stretch
out
his
hand
against
the
Prophet
,
and
presently
it
withered
:
1.
King
.
13.
4.
And
as
a
man
falleth
suddenly
into
it
:
so
is
it
as
hard
to
get
out
.
Vzza
died
in
it
presently
.
Vzziah
languished
in
it
all
his
life
,
and
then
died
in
it
also
,
Corah
,
Dathan
,
and
Abiram
,
were
no
sooner
caught
in
this
snare
,
but
it
held
them
so
surely
,
as
when
all
Israel
else
fled
and
escaped
;
they
,
&
their
companions
(
most
miserable
men
)
were
detained
in
it
,
to
their
notorious
destruction
.
I
might
heere
take
iust
occasion
to
remember
what
hath
happened
to
many
in
this
Kingdom
,
that
became
vnfortunate
after
they
medled
with
Churches
,
and
Church-liuings
.
But
I
will
run
into
no
particularities
.
Let
those
men
,
and
those
families
,
which
are
vnfortunate
(
as
wee
terme
them
)
consider
,
whether
themselues
,
their
Fathers
,
or
some
of
their
Ancestors
,
haue
not
been
fettered
in
this
snare
.
And
let
the
Proprietaries
of
Parsonages
also
well
consider
these
things
.
For
,
if
Vzza
died
,
that
did
but
touch
the
Arke
to
saue
it
:
what
shal
become
of
them
that
stretch
out
their
hands
against
Churches
to
destroy
them
?
If
the
sticke-gatherer
was
stoned
,
for
so
small
a
prophanation
of
the
Sabbath
;
what
shall
they
looke
for
,
that
by
destroying
the
Churches
,
destroy
also
the
Sabbath
it selfe
,
(
in
a
manner
)
as
taking
away
the
place
appointed
to
the
publike
sanctification
thereof
.
And
if
Corah
,
Dathan
and
Abiram
,
offended
so
hainously
,
in
medling
with
the
things
of
the
Leuiticall
Priesthood
,
though
they
imployed
them
to
the
seruice
of
God
:
what
haue
they
to
feare
,
that
vsurpe
the
things
of
the
Gospel
,
&
peruert
them
wholly
to
their
owne
vse
,
from
the
seruice
of
God
?
Yea
,
that
pollute
his
Churches
and
houses
of
prayer
to
seruile
&
base
offices
:
leauing
the
Parishioners
vncertenly
prouided
of
diuine
seruice
,
to
the
destruction
both
of
the
Priesthood
it selfe
,
and
of
the
seruice
of
God
in
generall
.
15
But
they
will
comfort
themselues
with
this
:
Leuiticall
sanctification
:
and
that
God
doth
not
now
kil
any
from
heauen
,
for
prophaning
the
things
of
the
Gospel
,
as
he
did
then
,
for
prophaning
the
things
of
the
law
▪
I
answer
:
The
sanctity
in
deed
of
the
one
,
differeth
from
the
sanctity
of
the
other
.
For
the
Leuiticall
things
were
sanctified
by
the
hand
of
man
,
to
be
matter
of
Ceremony
;
but
the
churches
of
the
Gospel
,
are
sanctified
by
our
Sauiour
himselfe
,
to
be
houses
of
prayer
.
Not
that
prayer
is
to
be
vsed
onely
in
these
places
but
that
these
places
are
onely
to
be
vsed
for
prayer
.
And
wee
must
not
presume
that
God
sleepeth
because
hee
punisheth
not
(
now
as
he
did
of
old
)
the
contemners
of
his
worship
▪
For
as
the
law
consisted
in
visible
&
temporal
things
,
so
the
punishments
therin
,
were
for
the
most
part
visible
and
temporal
.
But
the
Gospel
concerneth
things
inuisible
and
eternall
,
and
therefore
the
punishments
assigned
therein
,
are
for
the
most
part
,
inuisible
&
eternall
.
16
They
haue
also
another
comfort
,
Stat.
of
32.
H.
8.
cap.
7.
It
is
true
that
those
Statutes
apply
diuers
Law-termes
vnto
these
things
that
properly
belong
to
temporall
inheritances
:
and
that
the
Statute
of
32.
H.
8.
hath
made
them
demandable
by
originall
Writs
,
&
hath
giuen
certain
real
actions
,
&
other
courses
for
recouering
&
conueying
of
them
in
Temporall
Courts
:
because
Lay-men
could
not
in
former
times
haue
sued
for
things
of
this
nature
in
any
Court
of
the
Kingdom
.
But
this
prooueth
not
the
things
themselues
to
bee
therefore
temporall
,
Courts
spiritual
.
They
then
that
out
of
the
one
part
of
the
Statute
wil
haue
them
temporall
,
are
by
the
other
part
in
forced
to
confesse
them
still
Spirituall
,
and
so
to
make
them
like
a
Centaure
:
prolem
biformem
.
It
were
very
hard
(
in
my
vnderstanding
)
to
ground
a
point
of
so
great
consequence
,
vpon
subtiltie
of
words
,
and
ambiguous
implications
,
without
any
expresse
letter
of
Law
to
that
purpose
,
especially
,
to
make
the
Houses
and
offerings
of
God
,
temporall
Inheritances
.
But
I
see
it
is
a
Law

destroied

hee
robbed

spoiled
spirituall
persons
of

,
and
tooke
all
things
from
them
whereof
they
should
liue

And
vpon
this
,
in

,
insued
great
ignorance
of
true
religion
,

the
seruice
of
God
,

thereby
great
decay
of

none
wil

that
they
haue

study

,
when
after
long
and
painfull
study
,
they
shall
haue
nothing
whereupon
to
liue
.
Thus
farre
my
Lord
Coke
.
I
alledge
these
Legall
authorities
,
and
leaue
Diuinity
,
because
the
Approprietaries
of
Parsonages
(
which
shield
themselues
vnder
the
target
of
the
Law
)
may
see
the
opinion
of
the
great
Lawyers
of
our
owne
time
and
Religion
,
and
what
the
bookes
of
the
Lawe
haue
of
this
matter
,
to
the
end
,
that
we
should
not
hang
our
consciences
vpon
so
dangerous
a
pinne
,
nor
put
too
great
confidence
in
the
equity
of
Lawes
,
which
we
daily
see
,
are
full
of
imperfection
,
often
amended
,
often
altered
,
and
often

O
how
lamentable
then
is
the

First
why

vse
wee
had
notice
before

therefore
,
(

wee

It

not

restore
these

vnto
God
that

And
it
is
a
worke
of
necessity
towards
the
obtaining
remission
of
these
sinnes
.
Non

of

.
It
is
duety
,
iustice
,
and
necessity
,
to
giue
them
backe
vnto
God
.
For
if
Judas
(
who
was
the
first

of
this
sinne
)
were
a
thiefe
,
It
is
a
great
sinne

steale

much
greater
(
euer●
sacriledge
)
to
steale
from

If
it
were

hainous
a
fact
in
Ananias
to

of

which
he
pretended

An
Appendix
by
the
Author
.
I
Haue
beene
often
sollicited
within
these
two
yeeres
,
both
to
reimprint
this
little
Treatise
,
and
also
to
publish
a
greater
worke
much
of
the
same
Argument
.
Some
especiall
reasons
haue
made
mee
vnwilling
to
doe
either
.
Not
that
I
doe
,
aut
clypeum
abijcere
,
aut
causam
deserere
:
But
I
finde
my
arme
too
feeble
for
so
great
an
attempt
▪
and
in
matters
of
such
weight
and
consequence
,
a
better
opportunity
is
to
be
expected
,
then
is
yet
afforded
.
I
desire
therefore
not
to
be
hastned
herein
,
though
hee
that
published
my
Booke
in
Scotland
(
out
of
his
zeale
to
the
cause
)
taketh
that
for
one
of
his
Motiues
.
preached
vppon
the
house
top
:
or
that
which
passed
priuatly
betweene
me
and
my
friend
,
to
flie
(
in
this
sort
,
at
once
)
to
both
the
Poles
of
the
Monarchy
.
Hereupon
I
hitherto
by
entreaty
with
held
it
from
a
reimpression
:
But
I
being
in
the
Countrey
:
and
It
being
now
to
me
as
●lius
emancipatus
,
and
out
of
my
power
:
the
Printer
hath
taken
aduantage
of
his
liberty
,
and
in
my
absence
printed
it
againe
with
the
former
infirmities
I
wish
,
since
it
must
needes
be
thus
:
that
I
had
ouer
run
it
with
a
new
hand
:
aswell
to
explane
it
in
some
things
,
as
to
helpe
and
fortifie
it
in
other
.
For
the
Argument
hath
many
aduersaries
,
not
of
the
Laity
onely
:
but
amongst
the
Church-men
themselues
.
All
are
not
pleased
with
this
forme
of

*
Tithes
Maintenance
:
other
are
not
satisfied
how
it
is
due
.
Some
also
conceiue
Scriptures
in
this
manner
,
some
in
that
:
and
where
one
is
best
pleased
,
there
another
findeth
most
exception
.
Thus
he
that
commeth
vpon
the
Stage
,
is
the
Obiect
and
Subiect
of
euery
mans
opinion
.
Yet
must
I
herein
confesse
my selfe
beholden
vnto
many
:
for
I
vnderstand
this
small
Essay
hath
giuen
them
good
liking
▪
To
satisfie
all
I
labour
not
:
but
to
the
worthier
sort
I
would
performe
what
I
could
.
Being
therefore
enformed
(
about
a
yeare
almost
since
)
that
some
particular
Diuines
of
learning
and
iudgement
,
(
conceiuing
well
of
my
Booke
,
)
supposed
that
I
had
departed
from
the
ancient
and
moderne
interpreters
in
applying
the
12.
verse
of
the
83.
Psalme
.
Onely
to
the
sanctified
things
of
the
Iewes
which
(
they
said
)
was
spoken
of
all
their
houses
and
Cities
in
generall
.
I
did
then
vnto
them
(
as
I
thought
it
fit
)
reddere
rationem
&
fidei
&
facti
.
And
in
like
manner
(
because
the
booke
goeth
forth
againe
vpon
a
new
aduenture
,
and
may
encounter
with
the
like
obiections
,
)
I
held
it
now
as
necessary
to
adde
something
vnto
it
in
that
point
being
so
materiall
Yet
must
I
signifie
vnto
you
,
that
they
which
tooke
that
exception
,
accounted
both
my
argument
and
whole
discourse
the
stronger
(
notwithstanding
)
Ex
consequente
:
as
namely
,
that
if
it
were
so
heinous
a
sinne
to
inuade
the
temporall
things
of
the
Iewes
,
much
more
must
it
needes
bee
to
inuade
the
spirituall
.
So
that
no
man
is
either
freed
or
cased
by
this
suggestion
,
but
rather
the
more
ensnared
and
ouerwhelmed
.
Neuerthelesse
(
I
vnderstand
)
that
which
followeth
,
hath
cleared
this
point
vnto
them
:
and
I
hope
so
shall
it
also
do●
vnto
others
(
which
separate
not
themselues
from
our
Church
)
if
cause
require
.
I
Am
not
ignorant
that
many
moderne
and
some
Ancient
Interpreters
vnderstand
the
body
of
the
83
Psalme
,
of
the
taking
of
the
houses
and
cites
of
the
Iewes
in
generall
,
not
onely
of
the
Temple
and
Synagogues
,
nor
onely
of
the
Cities
of
the
Leuites
:
for
the
very
historicall
texture
of
the
Psalme
discouers
as
much
.
But
that
branch
of
it
,
where
on
〈◊〉
I
fastened
my
anchor
,
and
where
I
chiefly
insisted
,
namely
the
12
verse
,
touching
the
taking
of
the
houses
of
God
in
possession
,
(
which
indeed
is
the
center
of
the
Psalme
:
what
interpretation
soeuer
it
receiueth
)
most
of
them
interpret
it
primarily
and
positiuely
for
the
Temple
〈◊〉
.
Holy
things
,
then
per
translationem
for
Hierusalem
,
and
by
consequence
,
for
all
Iudea
,
(
and
the
people
of
God
)
in
respect
that
they
were
there
planted
.
For
though
wee
following
Genebr●d
,
Caluin
and
Arias
Montanus
,
translate
it
litterally
,
Take
the
houses
of
God

;
yet
the
Septuagints
&
Greekes
interpret

And

:
in
his
other
translation
called
Haebraeica

which
also
agreeth

cited
by
Lucius
in
the
primer
ages
of
the
Church
)

,
electissima
:
all
of
them
by
such
denominations
,
as
are
most
proper
to
the
Temple
&
holy
things
.
And
therefore
the
Church
in
all
former
ages
and
for
the
most
part
yet
also
beyond
the
Seas
,
euen
in
the
reformed
parts
of
Germany
,
retaineth
that
interpretation
of
Sanctuarium
Dei
,
as
best
agreeing
with
the
intent
of
the
Hebrew
,
which
Hierome
in
the
Preface
to
his
translation
professeth
confidently
(
by
many
witnesses
)
that
he
hath
changed
in
nothing
.
I
alleage
all
this
,
but
to
〈◊〉
,
that
by
what
variety
of
words
soeuer
,
the
translators
expresse
the
originall
Hebrew
,
yet
they
all
concu●re
with
this
as
the
Fountaine
and
st●n●ard
;
that
prima
intentione
,
it
〈…〉
the
holy
things
,
though
in
●ecun●d
it
bee
caried
vnto
temporall
.
Our selues
also
in
our
owne
English
translation
,
vnderstand
the
houses
of
God
,
for
places
dedicated
to
the
seruice
of
God
.
And
therefore
in
the
9.
verse
of
the
74.
Psalme
,
where
our
Church-Psalter
saith
,
burnt
vp
all
the
houses
of
God
in
the
land
:
the
Geneua
and
the
Kings
addition
report
it
,
burnt
vp
al
the
Synagogues
of
God
in
the
Land
.
So
likewise
in
the
1.
verse
of
the
84.
Psal.
The
dwellings
of
God
are
expresly
spoken
of
his
Tabernacles
,
and
holy
habitations
,
not
of
his
Temporall
.
Yet
doe
I
not
deny
;
but
(
as
I
say
)
Secunda
intentione
,
the
words
Sanctuarium
,
or
Houses
of
God
,
in
the
83.
Psalme
are
truely
carried
to
all
Iudea
and
the
people
of
God
,
howbeit
Hierome
noteth
expresly
no
such
matter
vpon
it
:
neither
could
Augustine
find
it
in
the
litterall
or
historicall
sence
of
the
text
:
and
therefore
he
deduceth
it
to
the
people
of
God
by
way
of
Tropology
,
vsing
the
metaphor
of
Saint
Paul
.

&

Arnobius
likewise
of
the
Ancient
,
taketh
it
first
for
the
Temple
&
holy
vessell
:
then
extensiuely
,
for
the
people
and
Land
of
Israel
.
As
for
Cyprian
,
Origen
,
Tertullian
,
Ambrose
,
Chrysostome
,
Gregory
,
they
meddle
not
with
it
,
that
I
can
finde
,
nor
Hierome
otherwise
then
as
I
haue
mentioned
.
But
admit
that
at
this
day
most
doe
expound
it
for
the
Temporalties
of
the
Iews
,
aswell
as
for
their
Leuiticall
and
Sanctified
things
:
What
doth
this
contradict
my
application
of
this
Psalme
against
Spoilers
of
Churches
?
or
wherein
is
my
errour
?
I
affirme
the
Genus
vpon
one
of
the
membra
diuidentia
,
and
they
vpon
both
.
I
vpon
one
not
exclusiue
,
and
they
vppon
both
copulatiue
.
Doe
not
they
then
themselues
affirme
my
assertion
?
Let
Schoolemen
be
Iudges
.
Yea
doe
they
not
iustifie
and
enforce
it
?
For
if
God
loueth
the
gates
of
Syon
,
more
then
all
the
dwellings
of
Iacob
,
Psal.
87.
2.
that
is
,
the
outward
and
petty
things
of
his
Church
,
more
then
a●l
the
stately
temporalties
of
his
Lay
people
,
yea
,
if
he
loueth
Iacob
but
for
Sion
,
that
is
,
the
People
but
for
the
Church
:
then
Ex
necessario
to
consequente
,
when
the
Prophet
denounceth
such
heauy
things
against
them
,
that
menaced
Gods
,
Lay
people
,
and
their
possessions
,
how
much
the
rather
,
doth
hee
it
against
such
as
with
greater
fury
and
impiety
afflict
his
more
peculiar
and
chosen
seruants
,
his
Cleargy
,
his
Leuites
,
his
first
borne
?
Against
these
I
say
,
that
forbeare
not
to
violate
the
things
more
deare
vnto
him
:
His
Temple
,
his
Oracle
,
his
holy
mysteries
,
that
is
,
things
belonging
to
his
honour
and
diuine
seruice
,
things
and
meanes
,
ordained
to
the
propagation
of
his
blessed
word
?
For
this
is
the
consequence
of
destroying
our
Churches
:
this
killeth
the
bird
in
the
shel
:
and
to
a
person
offending
in
this
nature
,
wrote
I
my
Booke
.
By
like
reason
,
it
may
also
be
said
;
that
this
Psalme
was
framed
against
Heathens
and
Infidels
,
(
which
in
open
hostility
assailed
the
Church
&
people
of
God
with
fire
and
sword
)
not
against
such
as
be
our
owne
brethren
,
&
of
the
family
of
the
Church
,
though
(
in
some
sort
)
they
doe
iniury
vnto
it
.
I
answere
that
the
Ammonites
and
Moabites
were
also
of
the
kindred
of
Israel
:
yea
,
the
Edomites
,
and
Ismalites
,
of
the
linage
of
Abraham
,
aswell
as
the
Israelites
themselues
:
yet
when
they
ioined
with
them
that
sought
the
destruction
of
the
Church
;
the
curses
of
the
Pr●prophet
went
as
freely
and
as
fiercely
against
them
as
the
rest
.
So
if
our
Church
be
spoiled
by
her
brethren
,
her
children
,
or
kindred
,
the
sentence
is
all
one
against
them
,
as
against
Heathen
and
Infidels
,
yea
,
and
that
also
more
iustly
and
deseruedly
by
the
iudgement
of
the
Prophet
,
who
accounteth
the
treachery
of
a
familiar
friend
much
more
intollerable
then
the
violence
of
an
open
Enemy
.
Psalm.

But
say
I
haue
erred
(
which
indeed
is
too
common
with
mee
though
it
be
humanum
)
and
doth
the
more
easily
befall
mee
,
hauing
saluted
the
Schoole
of
Diuinity
,
onely
a
longe
and
a
limine
:
I
am
therefore
readie
with
Augustine
to
put
it
amongst
my
retractations
,
if
there
be
cause
why
?
yet
(
as
he
said
of
Romulus
)
Sed
tamen
errorem
quo
tu●atur
habet
.
For
I
am
not
the
Author
of
this
exposition
,
neither
is
it
my
own
weapon
but
borrowed
,
and
put
into
my
hand
by
others
of
elder
time
.
I
confesse
that
as
they
which
go
to
battell
,
whet
their
swordes
,
and
bend
their
bowes
:
so
I
sharpened
both
the
edge
and
the
point
of
it
to
my
purpose
.
For
all
spirits
are
not
cast
out
by
ordinarie
power
,
nor
all
humors
perswaded
by
ordinary
reason
.
Knowing
therefore
what
was
necessary
in
particular
for
the
party
to
whom
I
wrot
,
I
applied
my selfe
,
and
my
pen
to
that
particular
necessity
:
yet
,
not
with
Zidkiah
to
seduce
him
by
vntruthes
,
See
then
what
I
haue
to
defend
my selfe
withall
,
both
of
ancient
&
later
fathers
&
Doct
rs●
of
the
church
:
the
first
application
(
as
I
take
it
)
that
euer
was
made
of
this
Psalme
,
was
(
only
to
the
purpose
I
alleadge
it
)
by
●ucius
a
deuout
Bishop
of
Rome
,
in
the
bloody
age
of
the
primitiue
Church
,
about
225.

against
those
that
ambitiously
seeke
Church-liuings
and
dignities

dispiersing
the
curses
of
this
Psalme
,
as
well
among
the
great
men
of
the
Cleargy
as
them
of
the
Laity

which
by

particularly
against

of

as
conferre
Prebends

vpon

Nephewes
and

d.
Nicolaus
de
Lyra
,
who
flourished
about
the
same
time
;
our
owne
country-man
,
(
though
of
Iewish
Parents
)
a
starre
also
in
that
age
,
of
the
first
magnitude
,
for
his
learning
;
and
exquisit
aboue
all
in
the
Hebrew
,
(
it
being
his
mother
tongue
,
and
eleborate
by
him
)
whose
iudgement
I
the
rather
esteeme
,
for
that
Luther
loued
him
,
and
preferred
him
aboue
all
Interpreters
,
as
Luther
himselfe
testifieth
in
the
2.
and
9.
chap.
of
Genesis
.
He
(
I
say
,
as
before
I
haue
noted
)
expoundeth
it
:
first
,
and
properly
for
the
Temple
(
vnder
which
I
vnderstand
all
things
dedicated
vnto
God
)
then
for
Ierusalem
,
because
(
saith
he
)
the
Temple
was
there
:
and
lastly
by
consequence
(
for
that
is
his
owne
word
)
for
the
Land
of
Iudea
,
whose
chiefe
City
Ierusalem
was
.
So
that
he
maketh
the
Temple
and
things
belonging
to
God
,
to
be
the
maine
part
whereat
the
Prophet
aimeth
,
and
the
City
and
Countrey
to
follow
,
but
by
inference
and
implication
.
Come
to
the
later
Writers
,
Genebrard
noteth
vpon
Sanctuarium
dei
;
that
the
Hebrew
word
is
,
Habitacula
,
and
for
the
postill
,
faith
;
Generaliter
de
diuinis
omnibus
templis
,
vrbibus
locis
&
oppidis
populi
dei
.
So
that
if
hee
had
been
questioned
further
;
how
he
vnderstood
Habitacula
,
specialiter
,
it
is
then
like
hee
would
haue
answered
,
de
diuinis
omnibus
templis
tantum
:
that
is
,
onely
of
Churches
.
But
be
it
as
it
is
,
he
setteth
them
in
the
first
place
,
as
the
proper
signification
,
and
the
rest
in
cons●quence
,
as
analogicall
,
according
to
Augustine
&
our
Countrey-man
Ly●anus
.
As
for
Luther
,
he
expoundeth
not
this
Psalme
himselfe
,
that
I
can
finde
;
but
you
see
what
hee
attributeth
to
Lyras
iudgement
.
Pellican
a
great
Hebritian
,
translateth
it
Possideamus
nobis
alectissima
dei
,
and
expoundeth
it
in
like
manner
as
before
,
Templum
ciuitatem
vasa
populum
dei
.
Pomeranus
interpreteth
it
of
them
that
did
seeke
to
make
themselues
Lords
and
heires
of
the
Temple
.
To
conclude
,
because
the
newest
thing●
are
most
acceptable
with
many
.
The
last
man
that
hath
written
vpon
the
Psalter
,
Lorinus
a
Iesuit
,
(
and
therefore
I
will
not
presse
his
authority
)
yet
to
doe
him
right
,
very
well
esteemed
amongst
great
Clarks
of
our
owne
Church
for
much
good
learning
(
though
in
matters
of
controuersie
,
full
enough
of
Romish
leuin
)
reciteth
some-what
more
briefly
the
former
interpretations
of
Petrus
Damianus
,
Hugo
Cardinalis
and
Iohn
Vitalis
,
and
approuing
those
their
applications
,
putteth
them
still
on
into
the
world
,
as
truly
consonant
to
the
tenor
of
the
Psalme
,
which
notwithstanding
I
doubt
not
hath
also
many
other
expositions
,
as
herbes
haue
vsually
diuers
vertues
and
operations
.
But
thus
the
eldest
and
newest
expositors
are
wholly
for
mee
,
many
also
(
&
of
the
best
of
them
)
of
the
middle
ages
,
none
that
I
know
against
me
.
For
although
Musculus
,
Bucer
,
Caluin
,
Marlorat
,
Mollerus
,
expound
this
Psalme
historically
of
the
Countrey
and
Nation
of
the
Iewes
,
yet
when
then
apply
it
to
the
Church
of
Christ
(
as
otherwise
there
were
no
vse
of
it
)
they
make
that
application
by
way
of
figure
&
analogy
;
And
then
is
there
no
cause
to
raise
an
antithesis
,
or
contrariety
betweene
them
and
me
.
For
to
reconcile
the
matter
,
S.
Ierome
in
his
entrance
into
the
exposition
of
this
Psalme
,
telleth
vs
,
that
wee
may
expound
it
figuratiuely
of
the
Church
(
which
I
vnderstand
in
matters
of
action
,
gouernement
,
doctrine
)
or
historically
of
the
people
of
the
Iewes
and
nations
about
them
.
And
though
Caluin
himselfe
pursueth
for
the
most
part
the
historicall
interpretation
,
yet
when
he
commeth
to
the
12.
verse
,
he
faith
;
I
terum
accusat
profanos
homines
sacrilegij
,
quod
praedateria
licentia
inuolant
in
ipsam
dei
haereditatem
.
Thus
much
,
and
too
much
touching
this
point
.
As
it
is
saide
in
the
end
of
the
Machabees
:
If
I
haue
done
well
and
as
the
story
required
,
it
is
the
thing
that
I
desired
:
but
if
I
haue
spoken
slenderly
and
barely
,
it
is
that
I
could
.
Let
no
man
therefore
rely
vpon
me
,
but
learn
of
them
that
are
bound
to
teach
;
For
the
Priest
slips
should
preserue
knowledge
,
and
they
should
seek
the
law
at
his
mouth
:
for
he
is
the
messenger
of
the
Lord
of
Hosts
.

Other
things
there
be
,
wherein
I
would
willingly
haue
enlarged
my self
a
little
:
but
as
Popilius
in
Liuy
discribing
a
circle
about
Antiochus
enforced
him
to
answere
before
hee
stept
out
of
it

So
the
Printer
(
hauing
printed
al
to
the
last
sheet

I
knew
it
)
restraineth
me
,
ad

accordingly
I
must

end
