VERSE
1.
Blessed
is
the
man
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
and
delighteth
greatly
in
his
commandements
,
his
seed
shall
bee
mighty
vpon
earth
,
the
generation
of
the
righteous
shall
be
blessed
.
THere
is
no
greater
encouragement
or
stronger
motion
to
stirre
a
man
to
an
eager
and
earnest
pursuite
of
the
meanes
,
then
to
propose
vnto
him
an
end
;
wherein
at
length
his
heart
may
repose
,
as
in
a
concurrance
of
al
comforts
and
contentments
:
to
which
there
is
no
possibility
of
attainment
,
but
by
purenesse
of
heart
,
holinesse
of
life
,
constancie
in
the
course
of
sanctification
,
which
onely
leade
vnto
the
face
and
presence
of
God
,
where
,
and
with
whom
alone
,
is
the
highest
perfection
of
blisse
,
a
riuer
of
infinite
pleasures
,
the
well
of
life
,
and
endlesse
rest
of
all
created
desires
.
For
the
capacitie
of
mans
soule
cannot
possibly
be
filled
with
the
sufficiency
of
any
creatures
,
no
not
with
a
world
of
creatures
:
for
they
are
all
nothing
to
the
worth
of
a
mans
soule
:
Christ
himselfe
hauing
preferred
it
in
valuation
:
What
shall
it
profit
a
man
,
though
he
should
winne
the
whole
world
,
if
he
loose
his
owne
soule
?
And
therefore
can
neuer
be
free
from
motion
and
vexation
,
vntill
it
reach
vnto
(
either
in
certaine
hope
,
or
actuall
fruition
)
an
obiect
;
infinite
,
as
well
in
excellency
of
nature
as
duration
of
time
.
Blessed
then
was
the
wisedome
of
the
disposer
of
these
heauenly
songs
of
Dauid
.
First
,
this
Psalme
doth
teach
vs
these
two
worthy
points
;
namely
,
how
the
blessed
man
liues
,
and
that
is
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
.
Secondly
,
what
manner
of
life
he
leades
,
and
greatly
delighteth
in
his
Commandements
.
These
Psalms
of
Dauid
the
sweet
singer
of
Israel
,
are
penned
with
such
heauenly
wisedome
,
that
they
are
convenient
for
the
state
of
the
whole
Church
,
and
euery
member
thereof
.
It
is
a
banquet
of
heauenly
wisedome
saith
Ambrose
;
and
as
Basil
speakes
of
another
part
of
the
Scripture
likening
it
to
an
Apothecaries
shop
;
so
may
this
booke
of
the
Psalmes
fitly
be
compared
:
in
which
are
so
many
sundry
sorts
of
medicines
,
that
euery
man
may
haue
that
which
is
conuenient
for
his
disease
;
for
there
is
no
sickenesse
of
man
,
whereunto
the
booke
of
the
Psalmes
furnisheth
not
a
present
remedy
.
First
,
this
blessed
man
is
described
,
shewing
what
hee
doth
carefully
embrace
and
follow
:
Blessed
is
the
man
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
that
is
,
that
endeauors
to
the
vtmost
of
his
power
to
liue
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
.
Secondly
,
what
is
his
practise
;
namely
,
to
be
much
&
often
in
serious
&
Christian
meditation
;
and
delights
greatly
in
his
commandements
.
Thirdly
,
he
sheweth
the
happy
succes
of
this
blessed
man
,
his
seed
shall
be
mighty
vpon
earth
.
Now
seeing
this
is
the
maine
proposition
of
the
psalm
,
to
proue
that
the
godly
man
,
and
hee
that
feares
the
Lord
is
onely
blessed
;
therefore
the
Prophet
doth
first
shew
who
bee
truely
blessed
,
and
then
wherein
their
blessednesse
doth
consist
.
Dauid
often
vseth
this
phrase
as
in
the
first
Psalm
;
Blessed
is
the
man
that
walketh
not
in
the
councell
of
the
vngodly
,
&c.
And
in
the
32.
Psalme
;
Blessed
is
hee
whose
wickednesse
is
forgiuen
,
whose
sinnes
is
couered
,
&c.
And
as
here
we
haue
it
:
Blessed
is
the
man
that
feareth
the
Lord
.
It
seems
to
be
the
words
of
a
man
in
admiration
or
admiring
with
himselfe
,
as
if
he
should
say
,
O
the
blessednesse
of
that
man
that
feareth
the
Lord
.
In
this
duty
I
obserue
three
points
;
first
,
what
is
the
true
feare
of
God
.
Secondly
,
what
wee
are
to
feare
in
God
.
Thirdly
,
by
what
meanes
wee
may
attaine
to
this
feare
.
There
is
a
two-fold
feare
;
the
one
is
holy
and
good
,
called
filial
or
childish
;
the
other
is
bad
and
naught
,
termed
seruile
or
slauish
:
the
filiall
or
childish
feare
is
such
an
one
,
as
is
in
children
towards
their
parents
,
who
doe
reuerence
and
feare
them
,
as
being
vnwilling
to
offend
them
any
way
,
whether
by
words
or
deeds
,
through
the
tender
loue
and
affection
,
which
they
doe
beare
towards
them
:
the
seruile
feare
is
such
an
one
as
is
in
bondslaues
towards
their
maisters
,
who
doe
reuerence
and
feare
them
,
through
the
dread
and
feare
of
punishment
,
which
otherwise
they
are
sure
to
haue
,
if
they
offend
and
doe
contrary
to
their
duties
:
so
that
some
do
feare
him
through
loue
,
and
care
to
offend
him
;
and
others
do
feare
him
through
dread
of
punishment
,
and
power
to
torment
them
;
and
it
may
be
defined
thus
.
It
is
a
reuerence
of
Gods
maiestie
in
our
hearts
,
whereby
wee
are
made
vnwilling
to
offend
him
in
any
thing
,
and
most
willing
to
please
him
in
all
things
,
through
the
loue
,
which
wee
beare
towards
him
.
This
is
a
vertue
most
necessary
and
requisite
for
all
Christians
whatsoeuer
,
as
might
at
large
be
shewed
:
but
let
the
example
of
Abraham
suffice
,
Thou
shalt
feare
(
saith
Moses
to
Israel
)
the
Lord
thy
God
,
and
serue
him
,
and
shalt
sweare
by
his
name
.
Esay
doth
require
the
same
,
Sanctifie
the
Lord
of
hoasts
,
and
let
him
be
your
feare
,
and
let
him
be
your
dread
.
But
Salomon
sayes
;
Let
vs
heare
the
end
of
all
,
feare
God
and
keepe
his
commandements
,
for
this
is
the
whole
duty
of
man
.
Now
to
apply
this
to
God
and
to
our selues
.
First
,
he
is
of
power
,
and
he
is
able
to
pay
vs
home
if
we
do
displease
him
:
this
our
Sauiour
tels
vs
when
hee
biddeth
vs
not
to
feare
men
who
can
kill
but
the
body
,
but
to
feare
the
Lord
who
is
able
to
destroy
both
body
and
soule
in
hell
.
Secondly
,
he
hath
authoritie
and
iurisdiction
ouer
vs
,
wee
are
his
,
he
hath
made
vs
,
and
he
may
doe
with
vs
what
hee
will
,
as
the
Potter
doth
with
his
vessell
:
this
reason
the
Lord
himselfe
doth
giue
when
he
saith
,
A
sonne
honoureth
his
father
,
and
a
seruant
his
master
,
if
then
I
bee
a
father
,
where
is
mine
honour
;
and
if
I
bee
a
master
where
is
my
feare
,
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts
vnto
you
O
Priests
,
that
despise
my
name
.
Thirdly
,
he
is
good
and
kind
to
vs
,
his
benefits
which
wee
do
enioy
from
him
are
infinite
,
we
haue
all
that
wee
haue
from
him
,
euen
our
liues
and
all
the
rest
:
but
mercy
is
with
thee
,
that
thou
marest
be
feared
.
Fourthly
,
he
is
a
God
of
infinite
maiestie
and
glory
,
and
wee
are
but
poore
simple
creatures
made
of
the
dust
and
clay
of
the
ground
;
the
heauen
of
heauens
cannot
containe
him
,
neither
can
the
Angels
themselues
stand
before
him
for
his
brightnes
,
vnlesse
they
couer
their
faces
with
two
of
their
wings
:
this
reason
doth
Moses
glance
at
when
hee
shewes
the
end
wherefore
the
Lord
did
publish
his
law
,
For
God
is
come
to
proue
you
,
and
that
his
feare
may
be
before
you
,
that
ye
sinne
not
.
Fifthly
,
he
is
holy
and
righteous
,
his
eyes
are
pure
eyes
,
and
cannot
behold
sin
and
iniquity
;
this
reason
is
layde
downe
before
the
eyes
of
the
Israelites
,
oftentimes
in
the
old
Testaments
,
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
when
hee
would
draw
them
to
the
true
feare
and
seruice
of
God
,
from
all
such
manners
as
were
found
among
the
Gentiles
.
Finally
,
the
the
commodities
,
which
the
feare
of
the
Lord
being
had
,
will
bring
vnto
vs
,
are
exceeding
great
.
For
first
,
The
feare
of
the
Lord
(
saith
Salomon
)
is
to
hate
euill
,
as
pride
and
arrogancy
&
the
euill
way
,
where
hee
sheweth
that
in
what
measure
any
one
feares
God
,
in
the
same
measure
he
doth
loath
and
detest
all
euill
,
for
he
saith
not
,
to
hate
euill
,
as
murther
and
adultery
,
but
pride
and
arrogancy
which
lie
in
the
heart
,
and
doe
not
shew
themselues
to
the
world
:
Yet
hee
that
feareth
God
will
hate
them
.
Secondly
,
it
will
make
vs
blessed
and
happy
in
all
our
wayes
;
Blessed
(
saith
Dauid
)
is
euery
one
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
and
walketh
in
his
wayes
:
this
reason
the
sweet
singer
of
Israel
,
hath
alledged
,
when
he
saith
,
feare
the
Lord
,
ye
his
Saints
,
for
nothing
wanteth
to
them
that
feare
him
;
nothing
he
meanes
which
is
good
and
wholesome
for
them
,
the
Lord
will
giue
grace
and
glory
,
and
no
good
thing
will
hee
withhold
from
them
that
walke
vprightly
.
First
,
this
serueth
to
condemne
those
that
haue
not
the
true
feare
of
the
Lord
before
their
eyes
.
Alas
their
case
is
miserable
,
for
they
serue
not
the
true
and
liuing
God
,
what
shew
of
religion
soeuer
they
do
make
,
or
what
brags
soeuer
they
doe
giue
foorth
concerning
the
same
:
for
seeing
the
feare
of
God
is
the
very
beginning
of
wisedome
,
and
the
foundation
or
groundsill
of
Gods
worshippe
(
as
hath
bene
proued
)
it
is
vnpossible
,
that
either
they
should
haue
any
true
wisedome
in
them
,
or
else
religiously
should
serue
the
Lord
,
when
they
want
this
feare
,
the
only
cause
and
fountaine
thereof
.
Secondly
,
this
may
serue
for
to
stirre
vs
vp
to
get
the
true
feare
of
the
Lord
vnto
our selues
,
and
labour
by
all
meanes
possible
to
bring
our
hearts
thereunto
,
the
Lord
is
our
dread
.
But
against
this
it
may
bee
obiected
,
that
perfect
loue
doth
cast
out
feare
;
and
we
are
commanded
to
serue
God
without
feare
.
We
haue
not
receiued
the
spirit
of
bondage
to
feare
againe
,
but
the
spirit
of
adoption
,
whereby
we
cry
Abbah
Father
.
So
that
true
loue
is
so
farre
off
from
casting
out
this
holy
feare
of
adoption
,
whereby
wee
are
drawne
to
hate
sinne
in
loue
towards
God
,
and
not
for
punishments
sake
,
that
it
doth
bring
it
in
,
and
establish
it
within
vs
;
yet
this
is
to
bee
noted
by
the
way
,
that
seruile
feare
is
a
good
meanes
at
the
first
to
bring
vs
vnto
God
,
for
it
prepareth
a
place
for
the
holy
Ghost
to
bring
him
into
our
soules
,
as
the
bristles
bringeth
in
the
thred
.
But
when
it
is
once
entred
into
vs
,
and
hath
taken
vp
the
possession
of
our
soules
within
vs
,
then
this
feare
is
gone
,
as
the
bristle
is
when
the
thred
is
entred
into
the
hole
.
Besides
this
we
must
marke
,
that
as
the
children
of
God
are
not
by
and
by
perfect
;
so
a
peece
of
this
feare
may
still
remaine
in
them
,
but
the
feare
that
is
here
required
,
of
vs
,
and
which
is
to
last
for
euer
,
is
that
feare
of
reuerence
,
whereby
we
beholding
our
owne
weakenesse
,
and
the
excellency
of
God
,
and
his
incomprehensible
Maieiestie
,
dare
not
lift
vp
our selues
against
him
,
but
do
stand
in
awe
of
him
with
all
reuerence
,
being
loath
to
offend
him
in
any
thing
,
and
most
carefull
to
please
him
in
all
things
;
it
is
such
a
feare
as
is
in
louing
children
toward
their
parents
,
in
dutifull
wiues
towards
their
husbands
,
and
in
faithfull
subiects
towards
their
Princes
,
the
fountaine
whereof
is
loue
,
and
a
due
consideration
of
his
excellency
euery
away
about
vs
.
And
as
the
true
feare
of
God
proceeds
from
loue
,
so
it
must
bee
continued
in
loue
&
end
in
loue
:
therefore
if
the
Lord
loue
thee
,
then
thou
doest
loue
him
againe
;
this
Saint
Iohn
doth
confirme
,
We
loue
him
because
he
loued
vs
first
:
Thirdly
,
if
thou
louest
God
,
thou
wilt
then
delight
in
his
presence
;
for
the
nature
of
true
loue
is
such
,
that
it
earnestly
desireth
the
presence
of
the
party
which
is
beloued
:
Hee
that
hath
my
commandements
and
keepeth
them
,
he
it
is
that
loueth
me
,
saith
our
Sauiour
:
this
is
the
loue
of
God
,
that
wee
keepe
his
commandements
,
&
his
commandements
are
not
greeuous
.
So
then
,
come
tribulation
,
or
distresse
,
or
persecution
,
or
famine
,
or
nakednesse
,
or
perill
,
or
sword
,
or
life
,
or
death
,
yet
the
certainty
of
Gods
loue
will
support
him
:
this
assurance
doth
make
bitter
things
sweet
,
and
gall
to
relish
as
hony
.
Comfort
then
thy
heart
thou
beloued
of
the
Lord
,
let
nothing
dismay
thee
,
though
the
wicked
mocke
,
though
the
world
scorne
thee
,
though
thy
acquaintance
hate
thee
,
yet
remember
God
loues
and
fauours
thee
,
Is
not
my
loue
better
vnto
thee
then
ten
children
,
said
Elkanah
,
to
Hannah
?
so
is
not
the
loue
of
God
vnto
vs
better
then
tenne
worlds
:
let
then
the
meditation
of
this
harden
thy
face
like
brasse
against
all
dangers
and
sad
times
of
temptations
and
persecution
,
for
God
shall
giue
his
beloued
rest
,
they
shall
be
deliuered
,
for
he
will
helpe
them
with
his
right
hand
.
Therfore
to
this
feare
we
must
stir
vp
our
soules
euery
day
,
and
so
farre
as
we
would
either
worship
God
aright
,
or
haue
his
blessings
powred
downe
vpon
vs
;
whether
for
this
life
,
or
the
life
to
come
,
we
must
striue
and
contend
with
our
soules
and
our
hearts
to
bring
them
hereunto
:
that
so
wee
may
alwayes
reuerence
and
dread
the
great
name
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
:
doubtlesse
we
shall
neuer
serue
the
Lord
aright
,
or
become
happy
and
blessed
vntill
this
bee
brought
to
passe
:
well
wee
may
performe
some
duties
in
outward
appearance
,
wee
shall
neuer
looke
to
all
with
a
good
heart
and
conscience
within
.
And
howsoeuer
we
prosper
and
flourish
for
a
while
,
yet
woe
and
destruction
will
ouertake
vs
at
the
last
;
but
let
his
feare
bee
once
planted
within
vs
,
then
shall
wee
inwardly
and
from
the
heart
,
haue
a
respect
vnto
all
his
commandements
,
and
bee
most
carefull
to
please
him
in
all
things
,
and
then
againe
shall
wee
prosper
and
flourish
for
euer
,
not
onely
in
this
world
,
but
much
more
in
the
world
to
come
.
If
any
then
shall
come
vnto
vs
,
to
entice
vs
vnto
any
wickednesse
whatsoeuer
,
as
Potiphars
wife
came
vnto
Ioseph
,
This
should
teach
euery
one
of
vs
dayly
to
thinke
of
and
bee
fully
perswaded
of
the
glorious
and
continuall
presence
of
Almighty
God
.
There
is
not
a
word
in
my
tongue
,
but
thou
O
Lord
knowest
it
altogether
:
our
deeds
in
publike
,
&
secret
,
the
eye
of
the
Lord
is
in
euery
place
,
beholding
both
the
euill
and
the
good
.
This
consideration
and
perswasion
,
wee
ought
all
to
labour
for
it
being
a
notable
meanes
to
worke
true
feare
in
our
hearts
:
therefore
let
vs
esteeme
of
euery
place
as
Iacob
did
of
Bethel
,
what
hee
then
sayde
vrge
still
vpon
thy
soule
,
The
Lord
is
present
,
and
I
was
not
aware
of
it
.
Let
thy
shop
bee
a
Bethel
,
thy
chamber
a
Bethel
,
thy
closet
a
Bethel
,
for
God
is
there
present
.
Oh
that
this
meditation
did
take
place
in
our
hearts
,
how
many
sinnes
would
it
keepe
vs
from
?
how
conscionably
should
wee
walke
?
how
vpright
would
be
.
The
chiefe
fountaine
of
all
hypocrisie
is
either
ignorance
,
or
not
considering
of
this
diuine
property
of
God
;
and
surely
if
any
thing
will
banish
hypocrisie
,
this
will
do
it
.
A
man
cannot
chuse
but
be
good
(
sayth
Boetius
)
who
still
remembers
,
that
he
stands
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
.
Let
this
meditation
then
be
euer
in
our
mind
,
that
God
is
before
vs
and
behind
vs
,
within
thee
and
without
thee
,
on
thy
right
hand
and
on
thy
left
hand
,
alwaies
neere
and
neuer
farre
off
;
and
so
shalt
thou
walke
vprightly
.
Holy
Iob
,
we
see
,
tooke
that
course
that
the
Lord
would
haue
vs
take
for
the
repressing
of
all
inordinate
lust
and
affections
:
I
made
sayth
he
,
a
couenant
with
my
eyes
,
why
then
should
I
thinke
on
a
mayde
.
A
carnal
man
would
haue
thought
this
too
much
curiosity
and
nicenesse
,
what
not
to
looke
on
the
beauty
and
comely
visage
of
a
woman
,
at
least
,
not
to
take
some
liberty
for
thoughts
tending
that
way
,
it
is
too
too
much
precisenesse
,
who
can
take
any
notice
of
such
things
in
vs
?
Iob
)
what
portion
should
I
haue
of
God
from
aboue
,
and
what
inheritance
from
the
almighty
from
on
high
.
I
durst
not
giue
any
way
vnto
the
flesh
in
any
sort
,
for
that
were
the
directest
course
to
depriue
my selfe
of
the
comforts
of
the
word
and
spirit
here
,
and
of
the
crowne
of
happinesse
,
which
is
reserued
for
the
Saints
in
the
world
to
come
.
Albeit
I
should
speede
litle
the
worse
with
men
,
yet
I
should
bee
sure
to
come
short
of
many
speciall
fauours
and
blessings
of
the
Lord
:
and
further
he
addeth
,
Is
not
destruction
to
the
wicked
,
and
strange
punishments
to
the
workers
of
iniquitie
.
Suppose
I
should
escape
the
censures
of
men
,
yet
hath
not
the
Lord
meanes
that
I
cannot
conceiue
of
,
for
the
punishment
of
rebellious
sinners
,
and
though
things
may
be
smothered
for
a
time
,
cannot
he
bring
secret
sins
to
open
shame
:
grant
that
it
be
kept
close
from
the
eyes
of
the
world
,
yet
doth
not
he
behold
my
wayes
,
and
tels
al
my
steps
;
though
the
eyes
of
men
take
the
view
onely
of
the
outward
actions
,
yet
hee
looketh
vpon
the
inward
disposition
,
and
affection
of
the
heart
.
These
and
the
like
reasons
he
vsed
to
keepe
himselfe
in
order
,
and
fright
his
conscience
from
all
manner
of
sinne
and
impietie
,
as
is
more
fully
described
vnto
vs
in
that
chapter
.
Fifthly
,
this
may
serue
for
terror
to
all
such
as
liue
in
sinne
;
what
greater
terror
to
a
theefe
,
then
to
haue
the
iudge
an
eye
witnesse
of
his
vilany
.
But
hee
that
sitteth
in
Heauen
shall
laugh
you
to
scorne
,
the
Lord
shall
haue
you
in
derision
.
Take
notice
of
this
all
you
adulterers
and
whoremongers
,
who
say
in
your
hearts
;
Who
sees
vs
,
wee
are
compassed
about
with
darkenesse
,
we
need
not
feare
.
Behold
the
Lord
himselfe
seeth
thy
villany
,
and
looketh
thee
in
the
face
,
in
the
act
of
doing
.
Let
vs
all
consider
this
and
bee
better
aduised
,
thinke
not
by
denying
,
excusing
,
colouring
,
or
cloaking
them
to
auoyde
the
shame
,
for
what
if
men
do
count
you
innocent
,
yet
God
will
bring
in
euidence
to
finde
you
guilty
,
and
therefore
he
himselfe
will
witnesse
against
thee
,
Sixthly
,
this
may
serue
to
stirre
vs
vp
,
and
encourage
vs
to
well
doing
.
What
lazie
seruant
will
not
put
foorth
his
strength
when
his
maisters
eye
is
on
him
?
So
,
who
is
it
,
were
he
well
perswaded
that
the
Lord
is
a
spectator
and
beholder
of
his
doings
,
would
not
put
foorth
his
strength
to
the
Lords
worke
.
Were
this
well
considered
how
couragious
should
wee
bee
,
both
in
the
duties
of
our
generall
and
speciall
callings
;
And
that
we
may
the
better
attaine
to
these
graces
let
vs
vse
feruent
prayer
vnto
almighie
God
,
and
that
dayly
,
humbly
beseeching
him
of
his
infinite
goodnesse
and
mercy
,
to
beget
and
worke
this
holy
feare
in
our
hearts
.
I
will
put
my
feare
in
their
hearts
,
that
they
shall
not
depart
from
me
.
Heere
we
see
it
is
a
propper
gift
,
Wee
haue
not
,
because
wee
aske
not
.
Therefore
saith
Dauid
:
Vnite
my
heart
vnto
thee
,
may
feare
thy
name
:
And
God
is
so
well
pleased
with
our
Prayers
,
when
they
come
vnto
him
,
that
there
is
no
melodious
harmony
so
pleasant
in
our
eares
,
as
a
Prayer
proceeding
from
an
humble
and
broken
heart
,
is
in
the
eares
of
the
Lord
of
Hosts
:
let
vs
present
our
petitions
with
our
soules
full
of
griefe
,
and
our
eyes
full
of
teares
vnto
men
,
and
wee
shall
bee
tedious
and
troublesome
vnto
them
for
the
most
part
,
as
the
woman
of
Canaan
was
vnto
the
disciples
.
Send
her
away
,
say
they
to
our
Sauiour
,
for
she
cryeth
after
vs
.
But
Christ
hath
no
greater
ioy
then
to
heare
and
releiue
such
worthy
beleeuers
as
she
was
.
Now
sith
it
is
a
thing
so
well
pleasing
vnto
him
,
he
cannot
but
grant
and
satisfie
the
desires
of
such
as
faithfully
and
feruently
call
vpon
him
.
Therefore
seeing
the
Lord
is
so
pleased
with
penitent
sinners
when
they
come
vnto
him
,
Behold
this
godly
sorrow
,
what
feare
it
hath
wrought
in
you
.
The
penitent
sinner
feareth
to
displease
God
,
The
feare
of
the
Lord
which
bringeth
repentance
endureth
for
euer
.
And
great
reason
it
should
be
so
,
for
wee
are
commanded
to
bee
constant
,
and
to
perseuer
in
godlines
euen
to
the
end
:
but
this
cannot
be
vnlesse
the
feare
of
God
be
in
vs
alwayes
,
therefore
saith
God
,
I
will
put
my
feare
in
their
hearts
that
they
shall
not
depart
from
mee
.
They
shall
feare
thee
,
as
long
as
the
Sunne
and
Moone
endures
throughout
al
generations
:
let
vs
therfore
continually
vse
al
good
meanes
to
keepe
vs
in
this
feare
,
that
all
of
vs
ioyntly
,
and
each
one
in
particular
may
truly
say
with
Dauid
,
O
Lord
I
am
deuoted
to
thy
feare
.
Seuenthly
,
his
gifts
are
without
repentance
,
Lastly
,
here
the
Prophet
saith
,
Blessed
is
the
man
that
feareth
the
Lord
:
&
Salomon
he
saith
,
Feare
the
Lord
and
depart
from
euill
;
for
no
man
can
depart
from
euill
vnlesse
he
feare
God
,
so
none
feares
God
truely
but
he
doth
cease
from
sin
,
therefore
they
that
boast
of
their
feare
,
and
yet
liue
in
their
former
sinnes
,
are
lyers
against
the
truth
,
and
deceiue
their
owne
soules
.
Let
all
men
therefore
seriously
examin
their
owne
conscience
,
whether
they
haue
left
their
sinnes
,
and
are
become
new
creatures
in
Christ
Iesus
,
and
whether
they
haue
a
full
purpose
and
resolution
of
heart
for
time
to
come
,
to
hate
that
which
is
euill
:
if
they
haue
,
they
may
conclude
to
their
euerlasting
ioy
and
comfort
,
that
they
are
such
as
feare
God
;
if
not
,
then
let
them
know
,
they
cannot
approoue
vnto
their
owne
soules
that
they
haue
this
feare
,
for
he
that
continueth
in
the
practise
of
sinne
,
without
any
penitency
,
hath
not
the
true
feare
of
God
.
The
wicked
haue
no
feare
of
God
before
their
eyes
.
The
mercy
of
the
Lord
is
from
euerlasting
to
euerlasting
,
vpon
them
that
feares
him
,
to
such
as
keepe
his
Couenant
,
and
remember
his
Commandements
to
doe
them
,
and
blessed
is
euery
one
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
and
walketh
in
his
wayes
,
and
Dauid
saith
,
I
am
a
companion
of
all
them
that
feare
thee
,
and
keepe
thy
Commandements
.
This
must
therefore
teach
euery
one
carefully
to
obserue
and
keep
Gods
Commandements
,
according
to
the
saying
of
God
by
Moses
:
Thou
shalt
keepe
the
Commandement
of
the
Lord
thy
God
,
to
walke
in
his
wayes
,
and
to
feare
him
.
In
vaine
therefore
doe
they
boast
of
their
feare
,
seruice
,
&
worship
of
God
,
who
instead
of
keeping
Gods
Comandements
,
break
them
all
,
&
delight
themselues
in
nothing
more
,
then
in
committing
of
sin
,
&
transgressing
the
Law
of
God
,
let
vs
therfore
take
Salomons
counsell
;
Feare
God
and
keepe
his
Commandements
,
for
this
is
the
whole
duty
of
man
.
Secondly
,
wee
must
get
vprightnesse
of
heart
in
the
whole
course
of
Gods
worship
and
seruice
.
Hee
that
walketh
in
his
vprightnes
,
feareth
the
Lord
.
Iob
was
an
vpright
man
,
and
one
that
feared
God
.
Cornelius
was
a
iust
man
,
and
one
that
feared
God
,
with
all
his
house
:
this
is
our
victory
,
whereby
we
ouercome
the
world
,
euen
our
Faith
.
And
the
Apostle
concludeth
generally
for
all
other
matters
,
that
Neither
death
,
nor
life
,
nor
Angels
,
nor
Principalities
,
nor
Powers
,
nor
things
present
,
nor
things
to
come
,
nor
height
,
nor
depth
,
nor
any
other
creature
,
shall
be
able
to
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
God
,
which
is
in
Christ
Iesus
our
Lord
.
a
booke
of
remembrance
is
written
before
God
,
for
them
that
feare
the
Lord
,
and
they
shall
be
mine
,
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
in
that
day
when
I
make
vp
my
Iewels
.
Here
we
see
,
God
hath
them
in
euerlasting
remembrance
,
neuer
to
forget
them
,
as
being
his
Iewels
and
chiefest
treasure
.
The
woman
that
excelleth
all
,
is
shee
that
feareth
the
Lord
;
Better
is
a
little
with
the
feare
of
the
Lord
,
then
great
Treasure
,
and
trouble
therewith
.
A
little
that
a
righteous
man
hath
is
better
then
the
riches
of
many
wicked
men
,
and
of
all
people
.
The
Lord
taketh
pleasure
in
them
that
feare
him
.
Thirdly
,
we
learne
from
hence
that
this
blessed
man
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
By
the
feare
of
the
Lord
are
riches
,
honour
,
and
life
,
the
feare
of
the
Lord
prolongeth
dayes
,
and
by
it
thy
dayes
shall
bee
multiplyed
and
the
yeeres
of
thy
life
shall
bee
increased
.
Blessed
is
euery
one
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
for
thou
shalt
eate
the
the
labour
of
thine
hands
:
happy
shalt
thou
be
,
and
it
shall
be
well
with
thee
:
Loe
thus
shall
the
man
bee
blessed
that
feareth
the
Lord
.
Againe
,
wouldest
thou
haue
God
to
deliuer
thee
and
saue
thee
from
trouble
?
then
feare
the
Lord.
For
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
encampeth
round
about
them
that
feare
him
,
and
deliuereth
them
.
Wouldest
thou
haue
plenty
,
or
at
least
a
competent
liuing
,
to
enioy
Gods
good
blessings
?
then
feare
God
,
for
their
is
no
want
to
them
that
feare
him
.
The
Lyons
doe
lurke
and
suffer
hunger
,
but
they
that
feare
God
shall
want
to
manner
of
thing
that
is
good
.
Wouldest
thou
haue
thy
hearts
desire
granted
thee
of
God
,
so
far
forth
as
shal
be
agreeable
to
his
will
?
Then
delight
thy selfe
in
the
Lord
,
and
hee
shall
giue
thee
thine
hearts
desire
:
yea
,
he
will
fulfill
the
desires
of
them
that
feare
him
,
hee
will
heare
their
cry
,
and
will
helpe
them
.
Wouldest
thou
haue
all
things
to
be
well
with
thee
?
then
feare
the
Lord
,
for
he
taketh
pleasure
in
them
that
feare
him
.
And
though
a
sinner
doth
euill
an
hundred
times
,
and
his
dayes
be
prolonged
,
yet
surely
I
know
that
it
shall
bee
well
with
them
that
feare
God
,
which
feare
before
him
.
And
though
many
troubles
,
and
manifold
mischiefes
are
in
the
world
,
&
though
the
righteous
fall
into
manifold
afflictions
.
Yet
as
Salomon
saith
,
He
that
feareth
God
,
shall
come
forth
of
them
all
,
so
that
it
will
make
vs
blessed
&
happy
in
all
our
waies
,
so
that
the
feare
of
the
Lord
brings
with
it
alwaies
a
plenty
of
al
good
things
,
and
comes
laden
with
the
blessings
of
God
,
wheresoeuer
it
comes
:
for
all
these
causes
now
rehearsed
,
should
we
feare
the
Lord
,
and
endeauor
to
please
him
.
For
what
man
is
he
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
him
shall
hee
teach
in
the
way
that
hee
shall
choose
:
the
secret
of
the
Lord
is
among
them
that
feare
him
,
and
he
will
shew
them
his
Couenant
,
the
feare
of
the
Lord
is
the
beginning
of
wisedome
.
A
good
vnderstanding
haue
all
they
that
doe
thereafter
.
For
the
Lord
wil
spare
them
that
feare
him
,
as
a
man
that
spareth
his
owne
sonne
that
serueth
him
,
&
as
a
father
pittieth
his
Children
,
so
the
Lord
pittieth
them
that
feare
him
:
Yea
,
the
mercy
of
the
Lord
is
from
euerlasting
to
euerlasting
vpon
them
that
feare
him
,
and
his
righteousnesse
vpon
childrens
children
:
Againe
,
the
Lord
heareth
the
Prayers
of
those
that
feare
him
,
and
granteth
their
request
:
Yea
,
the
Lord
will
giue
grace
and
glory
,
and
no
good
thing
will
hee
withhold
from
them
that
walke
vprightly
.
Lastly
,
it
hath
the
maine
promise
of
eternall
life
in
the
world
to
come
:
His
endlesse
mercy
is
on
them
that
feare
him
from
generation
to
generation
.
Surely
,
Gods
saluation
is
nigh
all
them
that
feare
him
.
And
the
couenant
of
life
and
peace
was
with
Leui
,
because
he
feared
God
,
and
the
soule
of
him
that
feareth
God
shall
dwell
at
ease
:
If
we
feare
the
Lord
alwayes
,
it
shall
be
well
with
vs
,
and
with
our
children
for
euer
.
The
consideration
of
all
which
should
moue
euery
one
of
vs
to
breake
out
with
the
Prophet
saying
,
Who
would
not
feare
thee
,
O
King
of
Nations
,
and
with
Gods
seruants
.
Who
wil
not
feare
thee
O
Lord
,
and
glorifie
thy
Name
,
for
thou
onely
art
holy
.
Loe
,
thus
will
the
Lord
blesse
them
that
feare
him
,
both
small
and
great
.
Therefore
seeing
we
haue
such
promises
,
let
vs
cleanse
our selues
from
all
filthinesse
of
the
flesh
and
spirit
,
perfecting
holinesse
in
the
feare
of
God
:
Worke
out
your
saluation
with
feare
and
trembling
:
sanctifie
the
Lord
of
Hosts
himselfe
,
and
let
him
be
your
dread
.
Now
let
the
feare
of
the
Lord
be
vpon
you
,
take
heede
and
doe
it
.
And
whatsoeuer
yee
doe
,
doe
it
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
faithfully
,
and
with
a
perfect
heart
.
Let
vs
with
good
King
Iehosaphat
,
feare
the
Lord
,
For
as
the
Heauen
is
high
aboue
the
Earth
,
so
great
is
Gods
mercy
towards
them
that
feare
him
,
as
farre
as
the
East
is
from
the
West
,
so
farre
hath
God
set
our
transgressions
from
vs
.
O
let
all
the
earth
feare
the
Lord
,
let
all
the
Inhabitants
of
the
World
stand
in
awe
of
him
:
Serue
the
Lord
with
feare
,
and
reioyce
before
him
with
reuerence
.
The
Lord
of
his
mercy
giue
vs
this
grace
,
and
good
Lord
vnite
our
hearts
to
thee
,
that
wee
may
feare
thy
Name
,
For
thou
onely
,
O
Lord
,
euen
thou
art
to
be
feared
,
and
who
may
stand
in
thy
sight
when
thou
art
angry
?
Wherefore
let
vs
performe
these
things
with
care
and
conscience
,
and
no
doubt
but
wee
shall
haue
the
true
feare
of
the
Lord
within
vs
,
which
will
bee
a
comfort
vnto
vs
for
euermore
.
Now
follwes
the
practise
of
this
blessed
man
,
and
that
is
in
actions
of
piety
,
and
delights
greatly
in
his
Commandements
:
that
is
,
the
whole
Doctrine
,
diuinely
inspired
is
the
very
ioy
of
his
heart
,
and
delight
of
his
soule
:
It
is
sweeter
vnto
him
,
then
the
Honny
and
the
Honny-combe
:
It
is
more
precious
vnto
him
then
gold
;
yea
,
then
much
fine
gold
.
It
is
more
worth
vnto
him
then
the
whole
World
,
and
where
the
heart
is
once
enkindled
with
loue
,
there
the
imagination
imbraceth
with
dearest
apprehension
:
the
thoughts
are
impatient
of
any
other
obiect
:
all
the
powers
of
the
Soule
,
are
vnited
in
a
strong
endeauour
for
the
attainement
,
the
whole
minde
must
needes
bee
possest
with
Meditation
and
Prayer
.
If
hee
delight
in
the
Law
of
the
LORD
his
GOD
,
hee
must
needes
meditate
therein
,
And
this
feruency
of
the
heart
cannot
possibly
be
inclosed
within
the
compasse
of
the
brest
,
it
will
spred
it selfe
in
speech
and
actions
as
is
plaine
by
Dauids
speech
:
The
mouth
of
the
righteous
will
speake
of
wisedome
,
and
his
tongue
will
talke
of
iudgement
,
for
the
Law
of
God
is
in
his
heart
:
My
soule
hath
kept
thy
testimonies
,
for
I
loue
them
exceedingly
.
And
this
loue
,
delight
,
meditation
,
and
exercise
in
the
Commandements
of
God
,
of
this
blessed
man
,
is
not
a
morning
cloud
,
and
as
the
morning
dew
,
before
the
Sunne
,
but
like
the
light
of
the
Sunne
,
that
shineth
more
and
more
vnto
perfect
day
:
it
is
not
for
a
start
,
for
feare
,
vpon
restraint
,
for
rereputation
,
for
aduantage
,
or
to
couer
the
terrors
of
conscience
for
a
while
,
but
it
is
out
of
a
free
resolution
,
and
with
vndaunted
constancy
,
as
hee
speakes
else
where
day
and
night
.
So
that
Gods
Law
and
Word
cannot
simply
profit
vs
▪
When
wisedome
entreth
into
thy
heart
,
and
knowledge
delighteth
thy
soule
:
then
(
and
not
before
)
shall
counsell
preserue
thee
,
and
vnderstanding
shall
keepe
thee
,
and
deliuer
thee
from
the
euill
way
,
and
from
the
man
that
speaketh
froward
things
,
&c.
When
we
once
delight
in
the
law
of
the
Lord
,
&
exercise
our selues
therein
day
and
night
,
then
shal
we
florish
like
the
planted
trees
by
the
riuers
of
water
,
that
are
fruitfull
in
due
season
,
whose
leaues
shall
not
fade
in
any
drought
of
danger
;
them
I
say
,
whatsoeuer
we
do
&
take
in
hand
shall
prosper
:
so
that
if
we
delight
in
the
Commandements
,
we
shall
finde
comfort
in
the
ministery
of
the
word
:
for
there
is
true
ioy
&
peace
to
be
found
,
there
is
ioy
and
saluation
the
sweet
promises
of
God
,
faith
,
grace
,
spiritual
strength
,
and
euery
good
thing
offered
vnto
vs
.
Againe
,
loue
supporteth
our
labour
and
setteth
our
faith
a
worke
:
It
suffereth
all
things
,
it
beleeueth
all
things
,
if
endureth
all
things
.
Iacob
loued
Rachel
,
serued
twise
seuen
yeares
for
her
sake
:
neither
the
heate
of
the
day
,
nor
the
frost
of
the
night
,
nor
the
breaking
of
his
sleepe
,
no
danger
,
losse
or
crosse
could
driue
him
out
.
So
the
Israelites
toyled
and
trauelled
many
miles
to
the
temple
,
hungry
,
weary
,
and
thirsty
,
they
going
through
the
vale
of
Baca
,
make
wells
therein
,
contented
to
refresh
themselues
with
the
raine
that
filled
their
pooles
,
in
so
barren
a
wildernesse
,
O
Lord
of
Hosts
,
how
amiable
are
thy
Tabernacles
,
our
soule
longeth
and
fainteth
for
thy
Courts
,
our
hearts
and
flesh
reioyce
in
the
liuing
God
.
Blessed
are
they
that
dwell
in
thy
house
,
and
in
whose
hearts
are
thy
wayes
.
For
the
Lord
our
God
is
a
Sunne
and
shield
vs
,
the
authour
of
all
good
things
,
and
the
deliuerer
from
euill
:
hee
will
giue
grace
and
glory
and
no
good
thing
will
hee
withhold
from
them
that
are
sincere
:
therefore
O
Lord
of
hosts
,
blessed
is
the
man
that
trusteth
in
thee
.
Here
we
see
that
euery
action
without
affection
is
laborious
&
toylesome
,
none
euer
soundly
profited
by
the
word
,
and
holy
ministry
thereof
,
that
delighted
not
in
the
same
.
First
,
this
serueth
to
stirre
vp
our
loue
and
liking
of
Gods
truth
,
to
raise
vp
our
dead
affections
,
and
to
cause
our
dull
senses
more
earnestly
to
embrace
the
same
,
and
to
set
before
our
eyes
the
best
examples
for
imitation
and
practise
:
The
statutes
of
the
Lord
are
right
,
and
reioyce
the
heart
,
the
commandements
of
the
Lord
is
pure
,
and
giueth
light
to
the
eyes
,
the
feare
of
the
Lord
is
cleane
,
the
iudgements
of
the
Lord
are
true
and
righteous
altogether
,
by
them
is
thy
seruant
made
circumspect
,
in
keeping
of
them
there
is
great
reward
,
and
therefore
they
are
more
to
bee
desired
then
gold
,
yea
then
much
fine
gold
,
sweeter
also
then
hony
,
and
the
hony
combe
.
Gods
word
is
the
meanes
for
young
and
old
to
redresse
their
wicked
wayes
,
a
counseller
to
aduise
vs
,
a
Lanthorne
to
our
feete
,
a
light
to
our
pathes
,
a
resoluer
of
our
doubts
,
a
sweetning
of
our
affections
,
able
to
reuiue
vs
being
dead
,
therfore
saith
Dauid
,
I
will
delight
in
thy
statutes
,
I
will
not
forget
thy
word
,
the
law
of
thy
mouth
is
better
vnto
me
then
thousands
of
gold
and
siluer
:
O
how
loue
I
thy
law
,
it
is
my
meditation
continually
,
how
sweet
are
thy
promises
vnto
my
mouth
:
yea
more
then
hony
vnto
my
tast
,
thy
testimonies
haue
I
taken
as
an
heritage
for
euer
,
no
earthly
thing
being
comparable
to
them
,
for
they
are
the
ioy
of
my
heart
,
they
that
know
thy
law
haue
great
prosperitie
,
and
they
shal
haue
no
hurt
.
Keepe
them
and
doe
them
(
sayth
Moses
)
for
this
is
your
wisedome
,
and
vnderstanding
in
the
sight
of
other
people
,
who
shal
say
,
onely
this
people
is
wise
,
and
what
nation
is
so
great
that
hath
ordinances
and
lawes
so
righteous
:
therefore
take
heede
to
thy selfe
,
and
keepe
thy
soule
diligently
:
let
not
these
things
depart
out
of
thy
heart
all
the
dayes
of
thy
life
,
but
teach
them
thy
sonnes
,
and
thy
sonnes
sonnes
.
Hence
proceedeth
all
blessings
from
heauen
and
earth
,
vpon
man
and
beast
,
corne
and
cattell
,
wine
,
oyle
,
or
what
can
be
desired
,
for
godlinesse
hath
the
promise
of
this
life
,
and
of
the
life
to
come
.
If
we
seeke
the
kingdome
of
God
and
his
righteousnesse
,
all
other
things
shall
be
ministred
vnto
vs
:
Dauid
,
As
the
Hart
panteth
after
the
water
brookes
,
so
panteth
my
soule
after
thee
O
God
.
Thus
euery
good
Christian
must
whet
the
appetite
of
his
soule
to
delight
in
Gods
law
,
by
conference
,
meditation
,
hearing
,
reading
,
praying
,
preaching
,
and
dayly
frequenting
of
holy
assemblyes
:
I
was
glad
when
they
sayd
vnto
mee
,
let
vs
goe
into
the
house
of
the
Lord
.
So
was
it
prophesied
of
the
christian
church
that
many
people
should
go
and
say
,
Come
let
vs
goe
vp
to
the
mountaine
of
the
Lord
,
to
the
house
of
the
God
of
Iacob
,
and
he
will
teach
vs
his
wayes
,
and
we
shal
walke
in
his
paths
:
who
are
these
that
flie
like
a
cloude
,
and
as
Doues
to
their
windoes
?
Noting
not
onely
the
greatnesse
of
the
number
,
but
diligence
and
zeale
of
such
as
should
come
to
Christ
and
receiue
his
doctrine
:
and
Christ
sayd
,
from
the
time
of
Iohn
Baptist
hitherto
the
kingdome
of
heauen
suffereth
violence
,
and
the
violent
take
it
by
force
.
Thus
the
zeale
of
Gods
house
should
eate
vs
vp
.
Secondly
,
this
serueth
to
confute
and
reproue
all
such
as
are
backeward
and
carelesse
in
this
necessary
duty
,
being
idle
and
vaine
in
their
excuses
or
reasons
,
to
hinder
their
zeale
and
loue
to
the
word
,
any
feare
,
the
least
danger
,
There
is
a
Lion
in
the
way
.
Some
haue
their
oxen
to
prooue
,
their
Farme
to
see
,
their
wife
to
marry
,
all
these
yet
are
inuited
to
come
to
the
Feast
,
though
vnworthy
of
the
same
:
therefore
God
will
fill
his
house
with
any
others
then
with
such
,
euen
those
that
sit
in
the
high
way
and
vnder
hedges
:
the
most
basest
and
vilest
of
men
shall
enter
before
them
and
bee
saued
,
Others
there
are
that
thinke
;
if
we
should
make
conscience
of
religion
,
&
begin
to
read
the
word
,
to
frequent
sermons
,
to
haue
prayer
in
our
families
,
and
the
like
;
this
would
make
vs
to
bee
scoffed
,
and
mocked
at
:
but
let
such
heare
what
the
word
saith
,
that
pronounces
them
blessed
that
delight
in
the
law
of
the
Lord
,
Blessed
are
yee
(
saith
Christ
)
when
men
reuile
you
,
and
persecute
you
and
speake
all
manner
of
euill
against
you
falsly
for
my
names
sakt
.
Reioyce
and
be
glad
,
for
great
is
your
reward
in
heauen
:
is
it
not
better
to
endure
a
little
mocking
from
men
for
a
time
,
and
that
for
well
doing
,
then
to
vndergoe
the
wrath
of
God
for
euer
for
ill
doing
.
Let
vs
consider
in
particular
what
benefit
we
may
reape
by
the
ministry
of
the
Gospel
:
&
thy
soule
shal
liue
:
receiue
the
word
with
meekenes
(
saith
Iames
)
which
is
able
to
saue
your
soules
:
blessed
is
he
that
reades
&
heares
the
words
of
this
Prophesie
saith
the
spirit
in
the
Reuelation
.
And
on
the
other
side
:
he
that
turneth
away
his
eare
from
hearing
the
law
,
his
prayer
shall
bee
abomination
,
saith
Salomon
:
and
againe
,
the
wisedome
of
God
speaks
thus
,
because
I
haue
called
,
and
ye
refused
;
I
haue
stretched
out
my
hand
,
&
none
would
regard
:
but
yee
haue
despised
all
my
counsell
,
and
would
none
of
my
correction
;
I
will
also
laugh
at
your
destruction
,
and
mocke
when
your
feare
commeth
.
These
and
the
like
places
,
if
wee
could
throughly
consider
of
,
they
would
worke
more
powerfully
with
vs
to
cause
vs
to
desire
the
word
,
and
to
retaine
and
keepe
our
hearts
still
in
loue
and
liking
of
it
,
then
all
the
reproches
and
persecutions
in
the
world
could
,
to
withdraw
our
affections
from
it
.
grieue
not
the
holy
spirit
of
God
nor
that
holy
delight
in
the
commandements
:
&
he
brings
a
forcible
reason
,
wherby
you
are
sealed
vnto
the
day
of
redemption
.
This
is
the
onely
euidence
wee
haue
of
freedome
from
condemnation
,
this
is
Gods
marke
and
character
set
on
vs
,
and
seizing
vs
for
his
owne
,
this
is
like
the
blood
that
was
stricken
vpon
the
doore
posts
,
Thirdly
,
Fourthly
,
let
euery
one
of
vs
beware
how
wee
suffer
that
blessed
heate
to
slacke
,
Therefore
when
the
Lord
shall
put
any
good
motion
into
our
hearts
,
Quench
not
the
Spirit
(
saith
Paul
)
nor
the
gifts
and
motions
of
the
holy
Ghost
:
hee
vsed
a
Metaphor
borrowed
from
fire
,
whose
heate
and
light
when
it
is
put
out
,
is
said
to
bee
quenched
:
Thus
also
hee
exhorts
Timothy
to
stir
vp
the
graces
of
God
which
bee
in
him
.
Iob
rose
vp
early
to
offer
sacrifice
,
this
did
Iob
continually
:
Dauids
:
Euening
,
Morning
,
and
Noone-tide
,
will
I
pray
vnto
thee
:
Yea
,
we
may
heare
him
speaking
of
seuen
times
a
day
praysing
of
the
Lord
:
And
Isaac
went
into
the
Field
to
pray
and
meditate
in
the
Euening
.
with
the
heart
man
beleeueth
vnto
righteousnesse
,
and
with
the
mouth
confession
is
made
vnto
saluation
.
Let
this
be
well
considered
of
such
as
heare
,
and
reade
,
and
pray
by
fits
and
starts
,
now
and
then
,
as
it
were
vpon
rainy
dayes
.
Alas
,
thousands
there
are
in
the
World
,
who
reade
not
,
pray
not
,
from
Sabbath
to
Sabbath
;
nay
,
nor
then
neither
,
haue
these
any
life
of
grace
in
them
?
Sure
I
am
,
naturall
life
must
be
dayly
fed
,
and
shal
be
too
,
and
is
there
not
as
much
neede
for
the
spirituall
:
be
it
therfore
knowne
vnto
thee
,
and
certified
to
thy
soule
,
Lastly
,
Ioyne
therfore
vnto
your
vertue
faith
,
&
with
faith
knowledge
,
&
with
knowledge
temperance
,
&
with
temperance
patience
,
and
with
patience
godlinesse
,
and
with
godlinesse
brotherly
kindnesse
;
for
if
these
bee
in
you
,
they
will
make
you
neither
vnfruitfull
nor
vnprofitable
.
Keepe
then
thy
grace
in
an
honest
heart
,
and
it
will
encrease
like
the
Widdowes
oyle
in
the
Cruise
,
and
meale
in
the
Barrell
,
till
thou
come
to
be
a
perfect
man
in
Christ
Iesus
.
Therefore
that
we
may
not
deceiue
our selues
in
this
one
tryall
,
the
sincere
and
honest
heart
,
as
our
Sauiour
calls
it
,
is
that
which
cherisheth
hatred
of
all
sin
,
without
exception
,
and
carrieth
a
constant
purpose
and
resolution
in
nothing
willingly
to
sinne
against
God
,
but
to
endeauour
it selfe
to
the
vtmost
in
euery
good
way
of
Gods
Commandements
:
Whatsoeuer
it
shall
know
to
be
a
sinnes
,
it
will
not
purposely
and
deliberately
do
it
for
al
the
world
:
this
note
the
Prophet
Dauid
giueth
,
for
hauing
said
:
Blessed
are
the
vpright
in
their
way
,
hee
teacheth
vs
to
discerne
them
by
this
note
:
Surely
they
doe
no
iniquity
.
With
my
whole
heart
haue
I
sought
thee
,
saith
Dauid
,
suffer
mee
not
to
wander
from
thy
Commandements
:
Insinuating
thereby
,
that
such
as
doe
not
seeke
God
with
their
whole
hearts
,
that
is
,
in
singlenes
of
heart
vnfainedly
,
God
will
suffer
them
to
wander
in
crooked
blind
wayes
,
and
that
fearefully
&
irrecouerably
.
To
the
like
purpose
is
that
in
the
same
Psalme
,
Let
my
heart
be
vpright
in
thy
statutes
,
that
I
may
neuer
be
ashamed
.
And
although
Saint
Iames
say
,
In
many
things
we
offend
all
:
yet
wee
must
resolue
our selues
to
leaue
all
sin
:
For
if
we
liue
&
lie
but
in
one
sin
,
that
one
sin
is
sufficient
to
presse
vs
down
to
hel
:
Whosoeuer
shal
keep
the
whole
Law
,
&
yet
offend
in
one
point
,
he
is
guilty
of
all
,
for
pure
religion
and
vndefiled
,
is
to
keep
our selues
vnspotted
of
the
world
.
Let
vs
therfore
cast
euery
sin
away
,
which
is
as
great
weight
,
First
,
this
serueth
for
the
discouery
of
many
,
to
be
the
sonnes
of
Beliall
,
lawlesse
,
lewd
,
and
dissolute
persons
,
to
whom
nothing
is
more
grieuous
then
Gods
gouernement
,
and
nothing
more
distastfull
then
the
Commandements
of
the
Lord
:
Gods
Word
is
like
hard
meate
lying
heauy
vpon
the
stomacke
,
that
cannot
easily
bee
digested
,
those
precepts
giuen
,
for
the
ordering
of
our
waies
:
Sweare
not
at
all
,
sanctifie
my
Sabboth
,
they
are
hard
sayings
,
who
can
endure
them
;
nay
,
they
could
wish
they
were
rased
out
of
the
booke
,
and
there
were
no
such
iniunction
:
debar
them
from
swearing
,
you
were
as
good
sowe
vp
their
lippes
;
keepe
them
from
their
sports
on
the
Sabbath
day
,
why
then
take
away
their
liues
;
nay
,
they
cannot
nor
will
not
bee
so
straight
laced
,
their
sports
they
must
follow
,
their
pleasures
they
must
take
,
and
no
day
fitter
then
that
,
thus
Sampson
like
,
they
break
Gods
Lawes
,
like
twind
threds
,
and
say
:
Depart
from
vs
,
wee
will
none
of
thy
wayes
.
Let
all
such
then
know
,
that
pretend
what
they
will
,
they
are
but
lawlesse
persons
,
children
of
Belial
,
who
desire
nothing
more
,
then
to
be
from
vnder
Gods
Commandements
,
and
to
cast
his
yoke
from
off
their
necks
:
therefore
I
may
truely
say
,
that
where
the
Sabbath
is
not
sanctified
,
there
is
neither
sound
Religion
nor
a
Christian
conuersation
.
How
God
esteemeth
the
sanctification
of
the
Sabbath
,
may
appeare
by
the
exact
deliuery
of
the
Commandements
,
for
he
hath
fenced
it
about
like
Mount
Sinai
,
sixe
dayes
thou
shalt
labour
,
and
doe
all
that
thou
hast
to
doe
;
thirdly
,
by
his
soueraignty
,
It
is
the
Sabbath
of
the
Lord
thy
God
;
fourthly
,
by
the
latitude
,
thou
,
thy
son
thy
daughter
,
thy
man
seruant
,
thy
maid
seruant
,
the
stranger
that
is
within
thy
gates
must
sanctifie
it
;
fiftly
,
by
his
example
,
The
Lord
rested
the
seuenth
day
;
lastly
,
by
his
benediction
,
he
blessed
and
sanctified
it
.
These
sixe
markes
are
like
the
sixe
Water-pots
in
the
second
of
Iohn
,
Secondly
,
behold
a
difference
,
The
good
Lord
be
mercifull
toward
him
that
prepared
his
whole
heart
to
seeke
the
Lord
God
of
his
fathers
,
though
he
be
not
cleansed
according
to
the
purification
of
the
sanctuarie
.
Fourthly
,
this
serueth
for
comfort
to
the
children
of
God
,
Ye
haue
fed
mee
when
I
was
hungry
,
onely
in
regard
of
their
strong
affection
if
they
had
had
abilitie
:
God
will
answer
vs
before
we
call
,
that
is
in
our
purposes
of
prayer
.
O
sweete
comfort
when
wee
addresse
our selues
to
prayer
in
our
priuate
meditations
,
and
bethinke
our selues
of
our
sundry
wants
,
we
purpose
with
our selues
to
beg
such
and
such
things
,
whereof
yet
happily
wee
forget
some
in
the
vocall
prayer
;
shall
any
good
soule
now
thinke
that
the
memories
weakenesse
shall
any
thing
preiudice
her
in
this
case
?
no
,
thy
purpose
of
asking
the
thing
forgotten
was
a
most
effectuall
asking
of
it
,
I
will
heare
before
they
calll
.
Therefore
seeing
the
Lord
doth
so
highly
esteeme
good
purposes
,
let
vs
not
delay
,
but
speedily
put
then
in
practise
.
Before
the
Iron
coole
it
is
good
striking
,
&
while
the
waxe
is
plyable
it
is
good
setting
on
the
Seale
,
doest
thou
then
feele
at
any
time
that
thy
heart
is
warmed
with
good
motions
,
enlarged
with
good
affections
,
lift
vp
to
heauen
in
spirituall
meditations
:
doest
thou
feele
any
sparkles
of
the
heauenly
fire
?
take
,
take
thou
the
bellowes
presently
,
blow
till
the
flame
cherish
in
thee
,
and
make
much
of
the
smoking
flaxe
:
And
therefore
let
vs
trye
our selues
if
these
good
purposes
haue
wrought
in
vs
a
forsaking
of
sinne
,
and
a
reformation
of
life
:
if
it
bee
thus
,
then
it
is
well
;
for
this
it
is
,
&
must
bee
with
euery
true
penitent
.
True
it
is
in
the
time
of
our
impenitency
,
like
wilde
and
mad
horses
we
gallop
in
the
way
of
sinne
,
yet
in
the
day
of
our
repentance
the
spirit
of
God
as
with
a
bit
or
bridle
giueth
vs
a
checke
,
and
turnes
vs
backe
,
and
setteth
vs
as
fast
a
going
the
other
way
,
insomuch
that
our
olde
companions
stand
wondering
at
the
matter
,
admiring
that
wee
so
suddenly
breake
off
company
,
I
was
once
a
thiefe
a
drunkard
,
an
adulterer
,
a
reuiler
,
an
extortioner
,
a
couetous
person
,
and
the
like
:
but
now
I
am
washed
,
now
I
am
sanctified
,
yea
,
iustified
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
Iesus
,
and
by
the
spirit
of
my
God
;
canst
thou
thus
say
of
thy selfe
,
and
that
in
truth
?
why
then
to
thy
comfort
be
it
spoken
,
this
is
a
notable
euidence
of
the
truth
of
thy
repentance
;
but
if
it
be
otherwise
,
thou
mayest
deceiue
thy selfe
,
for
if
no
reformation
followes
,
these
are
not
signes
of
true
repentance
,
for
this
is
true
repentance
,
Augustine
,
so
to
bewayle
sinnes
past
,
as
that
we
commit
them
no
more
,
which
wee
haue
bewayled
.
It
is
to
no
purpose
then
for
vs
to
bewayle
our
former
courses
,
vnlesse
there
follow
amendment
:
let
not
then
this
deceiue
thee
,
for
thou
doest
but
mocke
,
and
not
indeed
repent
,
when
thou
still
doest
that
whereof
thou
hast
repented
,
this
is
true
repentance
,
so
to
repent
,
that
thou
hast
sinned
,
as
that
thou
doest
so
no
more
:
till
therfore
thou
doest
cease
from
sinne
and
reforme
thy
wayes
,
vntill
thou
doest
find
this
change
in
thy selfe
,
so
that
thou
canst
truely
say
I
was
thus
and
thus
,
but
now
the
case
is
altered
,
thou
canst
haue
no
comfort
in
thy
repentance
,
nor
in
the
commandements
:
for
asure
thy selfe
that
repentance
and
continuance
in
the
old
wicked
courses
can
neuer
stand
together
.
Lastly
,
this
may
serue
for
the
comfort
of
all
such
as
doe
finde
this
change
in
themselues
,
who
can
say
with
that
blinde
man
who
had
his
sight
restored
,
one
thing
know
,
that
whereas
I
was
blinde
,
now
I
see
;
This
may
serue
for
reproofe
,
wee
must
all
appeare
before
the
iudgement
seat
of
Christ
,
to
receiue
according
to
that
which
we
here
haue
done
,
whether
good
or
euill
:
that
hee
that
soweth
of
the
flesh
shall
of
the
flesh
reape
corruption
,
and
hee
that
soweth
of
the
spirit
,
shall
of
the
spirit
reape
life
euerlasting
;
then
would
we
presently
begin
to
reason
with
our selues
;
Alas
how
poore
,
how
how
barren
am
I
in
good
workes
,
how
fruitfull
in
ill
;
it
is
true
indeed
that
according
to
the
quality
of
our
works
we
shall
be
iudged
;
alas
what
other
works
can
I
present
the
Lord
withal
,
besides
the
works
of
death
and
darknes
,
if
these
had
the
promise
of
reward
,
then
were
my
case
good
;
let
vs
examine
our
hearts
herein
,
and
thinke
euer
with
our selues
,
thus
long
haue
I
liued
,
but
what
good
haue
I
done
,
eyther
to
my selfe
or
others
?
where
are
my
prayers
,
fastings
,
humiliations
,
meditations
,
well
spent
Sabaoths
,
well
gouerned
children
,
and
seruants
?
where
are
the
workes
of
mercie
to
my
brethren
,
either
to
their
soules
in
holy
admonition
,
reprehension
,
exhortation
,
or
bodies
in
ministring
reliefe
to
their
necessities
;
how
can
I
look
for
the
penny
that
hath
stood
idle
in
the
market
place
,
all
the
day
long
;
for
the
crown
,
that
refused
to
runne
,
Seeing
then
the
greater
our
zeal
paines
,
and
trauell
hath
beene
in
Gods
cause
,
the
greater
shall
bee
weight
of
our
glory
:
the
twelue
Apostles
shall
haue
twelue
special
thrones
at
the
day
of
iudgement
:
and
whereas
otherwise
men
shall
but
shine
with
the
brightnesse
of
the
firmament
,
hee
that
soweth
liberally
shall
reape
liberally
:
and
euery
good
worke
added
to
the
number
of
the
former
,
helpeth
to
further
our
reckoning
in
the
day
of
the
Lord.
God
rewards
euery
one
according
to
his
worke
,
for
he
will
reward
the
least
good
worke
,
euen
a
cup
of
cold
water
,
Malachy
,
It
is
in
vaine
to
serue
the
Lord
,
therefore
let
vs
feare
Gods
saying
,
Behold
I
come
quickely
and
my
reward
is
with
me
.
When
Mordecay
had
performed
a
worthy
seruice
to
Ahashuerosh
in
discouery
of
a
dangerous
treason
,
Sechemites
,
Gedeon
,
but
God
wil
not
,
our
reward
is
sure
though
not
so
speedy
as
wee
desire
:
From
hence
we
learne
,
that
the
degrees
of
glory
heereafter
,
shall
bee
according
to
the
degrees
of
grace
here
,
so
that
if
wee
would
then
shine
in
glory
,
now
we
must
shine
in
grace
;
therefore
take
the
aduantage
of
this
thy
corruption
,
shake
of
all
spirituall
sloth
,
vse
it
as
a
goade
in
thy
side
,
to
make
thee
sweat
againe
in
Gods
worke
,
double
paines
shall
bring
thee
double
pleasure
;
double
deligence
,
double
delight
;
double
holinesse
,
double
honour
:
Who
will
be
a
common
stone
in
the
building
,
when
he
might
be
a
Piller
?
Who
would
be
a
Doore-keeper
when
he
might
be
a
Steward
;
therefore
let
vs
looke
to
the
whole
course
of
our
liues
:
God
rewards
vs
not
according
to
our
good
or
euill
worke
,
but
according
to
our
workes
,
to
the
ordinary
course
of
them
:
this
must
teach
vs
faithfully
to
walke
before
the
Lord
,
in
the
discharge
of
our
seuerall
callings
;
let
vs
look
well
to
our
worke
that
wee
doe
it
,
and
God
will
looke
farre
better
to
reward
our
worke
.
Oh
then
that
instead
of
taking
thought
how
to
get
this
or
that
good
thing
promised
,
wee
would
once
take
thought
how
to
doe
this
or
that
good
thing
commanded
,
and
so
doing
our
duty
,
we
should
be
happy
for
euermore
.
In
worldly
affaires
no
weighty
thing
can
bee
done
without
diligence
,
farre
lesse
in
spirituall
.
Cursed
be
he
that
doth
the
worke
of
the
Lord
negligently
,
how
shall
hee
looke
for
the
penny
that
hath
stood
idle
:
Oh
that
there
were
no
such
to
bee
found
in
these
our
dayes
,
Preach
in
season
and
out
of
season
.
Hence
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
their
Sheepe
belonging
to
their
charge
are
like
Pharoa
his
Kine
,
so
leane
and
euill
fauoured
,
and
so
weake
as
euery
bush
is
able
to
entangle
,
and
euery
ditch
ready
to
drowne
them
,
and
euery
blast
of
vaine
Doctrine
able
to
blow
them
away
.
Oh
that
this
charge
were
considered
,
and
that
we
remembred
,
that
belongeth
to
them
that
preach
not
the
Gospell
.
Art
thou
a
Steward
?
Art
thou
an
Ambassador
?
Why
then
dost
thou
not
distribute
Gods
food
vnto
his
people
?
How
wilt
thou
be
able
to
looke
him
in
the
face
,
at
whose
barre
one
day
all
flesh
must
stand
?
First
,
to
all
bee
it
spoken
,
both
Minister
and
people
,
let
vs
auoyd
all
sinne
,
and
endeauour
our
our selues
to
the
vtmost
of
our
power
to
keepe
and
delight
in
the
Commandements
,
not
one
but
al
,
and
that
we
may
not
deceiue
our selues
herein
,
let
euery
man
examine
himselfe
at
this
marke
,
and
with
a
single
eye
,
and
vpright
heart
take
a
view
of
his
affections
;
whether
his
ioy
bee
inward
and
spirituall
;
that
is
,
in
the
assurances
of
God
fauour
in
his
word
,
in
his
Children
,
in
Prayer
,
and
continuall
practise
of
Godlinesse
,
or
outward
and
carnall
;
that
is
,
in
attainement
of
greatnesse
and
worldly
pleasures
,
in
the
encrease
of
our
Corne
,
and
Wine
,
and
Oyle
:
whether
hee
loue
the
peace
of
Conscience
,
farre
more
dearely
then
the
fauour
of
men
,
or
his
owne
life
:
Whether
hee
bee
more
zealous
for
the
honour
and
praise
of
GOD
then
his
owne
:
Whether
hee
bee
more
afraid
of
secret
sinnes
,
then
open
shame
of
offending
God
,
then
outward
afflictions
:
Whether
he
bee
more
angry
in
the
cause
of
Religion
,
and
concerning
Gods
glory
,
or
for
our
owne
priuate
wrongs
,
and
so
throughout
the
rest
of
our
affections
.
Secondly
,
wouldest
thou
repent
thee
of
thy
sinnes
,
turne
from
them
,
and
haue
them
pardoned
,
then
labour
to
know
them
,
striue
to
find
them
out
.
Consider
of
thy
wayes
,
make
a
stand
for
a
while
,
and
examine
thy
courses
,
put
the
question
to
thy
soule
,
what
haue
I
done
,
and
againe
propound
it
,
wherein
am
I
fayling
,
take
the
light
of
Gods
Law
,
that
will
shew
thee
thy
filthinesse
,
that
will
discouer
vnto
thee
thy
great
corruptions
,
and
many
faylings
:
bee
not
backward
in
this
duty
,
the
more
backward
thou
art
,
the
greater
cause
thou
hast
to
feare
thy
estate
.
Bankerouts
that
are
not
worth
a
groat
do
not
dare
look
into
their
state
,
because
they
know
they
bee
worse
then
nought
:
bee
then
perswaded
to
call
thy
courses
to
account
.
Consider
the
estate
wherin
thou
art
,
thy
case
is
fearefull
,
because
thou
art
ignorant
of
it
,
but
it
is
desperate
,
if
thou
wilt
not
be
perswaded
to
looke
into
it
;
but
on
the
other
side
,
if
thou
wilt
take
thy selfe
aside
,
and
commune
with
thy
owne
heart
,
as
Dauid
speaketh
,
But
heare
some
may
aske
,
What
must
we
do
:
and
of
the
Iayler
who
when
once
hee
began
to
be
humbled
,
came
trembling
and
fell
down
before
Paul
and
Silas
,
saying
;
What
must
I
doe
to
be
saued
.
For
howsoeuer
Gods
seruants
haue
learned
for
the
most
part
,
what
things
in
general
must
be
done
,
yet
still
they
need
to
bee
enformed
in
many
things
;
therefore
if
wee
truely
repent
vs
of
our
sinnes
,
the
Lord
wil
neeuer
leaue
vs
till
all
our
iniquities
bee
quite
remoued
from
vs
;
for
they
that
turne
to
the
Lord
by
true
repentance
,
the
Lord
will
wash
them
from
all
their
sinnes
by
the
bloud
of
his
Sonne
;
that
whatsoeuer
offences
we
repent
of
,
wee
shal
be
sure
to
haue
them
pardoned
.
Secondly
,
God
accepteth
of
penitent
persons
the
wil
for
the
deed
as
for
the
fulfilling
of
the
law
in
absolute
perfection
,
Now
that
the
true
purpose
and
intent
of
the
heart
,
is
that
which
God
principally
regardeth
in
his
seruants
,
is
plainly
proued
out
of
holy
Scripture
;
for
we
may
reade
in
Genesis
what
God
saith
of
Abraham
,
(
saith
the
Lord
)
because
thou
hast
done
this
thing
,
and
not
spared
thine
only
son
,
therefore
I
will
surely
blesse
thee
:
and
yet
Isaac
was
not
slaine
,
but
Abraham
withdrew
his
hand
from
him
and
spared
him
:
yet
because
hee
was
content
to
kill
him
,
and
made
all
things
ready
for
the
sacrificing
of
him
,
God
accounts
it
as
good
,
and
rewardeth
it
as
wel
as
if
he
had
killed
him
indeed
.
So
Dauid
had
but
a
purpose
to
build
the
temple
,
whereas
it
was
in
thine
heart
to
build
an
house
vnto
my
name
,
thou
diddest
well
that
thou
wert
so
minded
:
and
besides
this
,
he
biddeth
Nathan
to
carry
him
this
message
;
that
the
Lord
would
build
him
an
house
,
and
would
raise
vp
seed
after
him
,
and
employ
his
sonne
in
that
honourable
seruice
of
building
an
house
vnto
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
and
that
hee
would
establish
his
throne
for
euer
:
and
therefore
if
we
can
beleeue
that
hee
is
pleased
with
our
good
actions
,
we
may
as
well
bee
perswaded
that
hee
is
delighted
with
good
our
motions
,
and
holy
desires
that
are
stirred
vp
in
our
hearts
by
his
owne
spirit
.
And
the
reason
why
God
taketh
such
small
things
in
good
worth
is
,
O
Lord
I
beseech
thee
,
let
thine
eare
now
hearken
to
the
prayer
of
thy
seruant
,
and
to
the
prayer
of
thy
seruants
who
desire
to
feare
thy
name
:
hee
could
not
say
that
they
did
so
feare
his
name
as
they
should
,
but
this
they
could
say
,
that
they
desired
to
doe
it
better
,
which
desire
was
a
fruite
of
the
grace
it selfe
.
This
should
encourage
vs
still
to
be
doing
in
the
seruices
&
workes
of
God
.
But
here
some
may
say
,
we
finde
many
imperfections
,
and
many
wants
and
weakenesses
in
our selues
:
be
it
so
;
yet
if
we
ayme
at
perfection
,
and
haue
respect
to
euery
commandement
of
God
,
&
come
as
neere
to
the
marke
as
we
can
,
the
Lord
wil
accept
vs
according
to
that
wee
haue
,
and
not
reiect
vs
for
that
we
haue
not
;
if
wee
could
obey
perfectly
,
to
what
end
were
Christ
his
obedience
,
and
if
God
should
looke
after
none
but
those
that
can
fully
please
him
in
all
things
,
he
should
bee
a
Lord
&
a
maister
without
subiectes
and
seruants
,
If
thou
O
Lord
,
saith
Dauid
,
should
marke
what
is
done
amisse
who
should
stand
.
Therefore
though
wee
cannot
pray
with
that
feeling
,
This
is
the
commandement
that
wee
beleeue
in
the
name
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
loue
one
another
as
he
gaue
commandement
.
Thirdly
,
that
wee
may
therefore
arme
our selues
with
the
complete
harnesse
of
God
to
vanquish
Satan
,
there
is
no
condemnation
to
them
which
are
in
Iesus
Christ
.
We
cannot
sinne
so
much
as
hee
can
pardon
,
beleeue
Lord
,
but
helpe
my
vnbeliefe
.
Blessed
are
they
which
hunger
and
thirst
after
righteousnesse
,
for
they
shall
be
satisfied
,
euen
at
the
full
though
not
in
this
life
,
yet
in
the
life
to
come
.
Lastly
,
as
we
feele
the
disease
,
so
wee
must
also
feele
the
strength
of
the
medicine
.
My
grace
is
sufficient
to
strengthen
thee
againsh
all
:
Be
not
afraid
,
for
I
am
with
thee
,
step
not
aside
,
for
I
thy
God
haue
strengthned
thee
,
and
haue
assisted
thee
,
the
right
hand
of
my
iust
man
hath
taken
thy
defence
,
and
if
God
be
with
vs
,
who
can
be
against
vs
.
And
that
euery
one
of
vs
may
be
stirred
vp
to
the
performance
of
these
duties
:
Mary
Magdalen
washed
our
Sauiours
feete
,
Therefore
let
your
light
so
shine
before
men
,
that
they
seeing
your
good
workes
may
glorifie
your
Father
which
is
in
Heauen
.
Here
wee
see
the
men
for
whom
our
heauenly
Father
is
glorified
,
are
such
whose
workes
shine
afore
men
,
who
warme
the
loynes
of
the
poore
,
and
with
their
knowledge
are
an
eye
to
the
blind
.
I
can
hardly
beleeue
that
God
euer
made
any
creature
only
to
behold
their
glorious
outsides
;
neither
Starre
,
Pearle
,
Flower
,
or
fethered
Fowle
,
but
to
haue
influence
,
vertues
&
qualities
beneficial
to
mankind
:
much
lesse
a
man
to
know
onely
,
or
an
Art
onely
to
to
be
knowne
,
but
all
to
his
glory
and
mans
seruice
;
which
to
effect
,
is
all
the
glory
of
man
to
keep
the
Commandements
.
Come
ye
blessed
of
my
Father
,
for
I
was
naked
,
and
you
cloathed
mee
,
I
was
hungry
,
and
you
fed
me
,
for
such
men
God
is
blessed
of
men
,
and
such
men
shall
be
blessed
of
God
in
their
deedes
:
and
as
the
more
knowing
without
doing
,
shall
procure
the
more
stripes
,
so
the
more
doing
with
knowing
,
shall
haue
double
honour
,
because
God
was
double
honoured
in
them
:
come
quickly
,
and
my
reward
is
in
my
hand
,
to
giue
euery
man
according
to
his
deedes
:
Blessed
are
they
that
keepe
my
Cammandements
:
If
you
know
them
,
and
do
them
not
,
miserable
are
you
,
but
these
things
if
you
know
and
doe
them
,
you
are
the
happiest
men
liuing
.
Of
all
men
I
hold
them
most
wretched
and
selfe-condemned
,
He
that
doth
my
Fathers
will
,
he
is
my
brother
and
sister
,
not
euery
one
that
saith
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
but
he
that
doth
my
fathers
wil
;
to
him
that
doth
ill
,
shall
bee
tribulation
and
anguish
to
euery
soule
of
Iew
and
Grecian
,
to
him
that
doth
well
,
shall
be
honour
and
and
peace
to
all
the
Israel
of
God
.
Vnto
whom
shall
that
Euge
bee
giuen
at
that
great
day
,
but
to
the
dooer
?
and
in
what
forme
,
but
well
done
,
thou
good
seruant
,
that
hast
not
buried
thy
Talent
in
a
Napkin
;
he
himselfe
expresseth
the
manner
.
Behold
,
I
come
quickly
,
my
reward
is
in
my
hand
,
to
giue
euery
man
according
to
his
workes
:
Blessed
is
euery
one
that
doth
my
Commandements
,
that
he
may
●ate
of
the
Tree
of
life
;
and
enter
tho●ow
the
gates
into
the
Citty
:
In
all
which
happines
in
this
life
,
&
that
to
come
is
confirmed
vpon
the
liuing
acts
and
exercises
,
not
vpon
the
dead
habits
of
any
grace
whatsoeuer
:
In
all
labour
there
is
abundance
;
but
in
the
conceits
of
the
braine
,
and
talke
of
the
lips
,
nothing
but
emptinesse
and
misery
.
Next
to
Gods
glory
and
a
mans
owne
good
,
a
Christian
placeth
much
happinesse
in
winning
and
edifying
others
,
it
is
able
,
saith
hee
,
to
confute
and
conuert
Pagans
;
withall
he
tels
vs
,
they
haue
a
louder
language
then
the
sunne
and
Moone
,
whose
sound
yet
goes
ouer
all
the
world
,
publishing
Gods
glory
:
therefore
saith
Christ
to
his
Disciples
,
goe
and
tell
,
not
what
you
haue
heard
me
preach
,
but
saw
me
doe
.
How
the
blind
receiue
sight
,
&c.
If
I
doe
not
such
workes
as
none
other
hath
done
before
me
,
I
obserued
his
mind
,
and
pleased
him
in
all
indifferent
things
,
forbore
him
in
his
passions
,
gaue
him
all
content
in
dyet
,
and
attendance
,
and
so
haue
made
him
first
Gods
,
and
then
mine
by
degrees
.
These
are
the
Arts
and
charmes
,
that
if
they
were
now
vsed
by
one
Christian
to
another
,
would
couer
multitudes
of
sins
,
and
conuert
multitudes
of
sinners
.
These
things
mind
and
exercise
,
these
things
if
you
know
and
doe
,
you
shall
saue
your selues
and
those
you
liue
withall
,
and
so
be
euery
way
blessed
men
.
Balaam
,
Iudas
,
and
the
diuell
himselfe
,
who
the
more
they
know
,
the
worse
for
them
,
the
more
sinne
,
and
the
more
punishment
.
If
knowing
made
vp
blessednes
,
England
were
an
happy
Nation
,
out
times
as
happy
as
euer
any
,
but
if
doing
be
required
,
great
is
the
felicity
of
both
questionlesse
:
the
more
any
man
knowes
or
professes
to
know
,
and
the
lesse
they
doe
,
the
more
they
doe
dishonor
God
.
And
what
are
such
themselues
the
better
for
their
knowledge
:
Hee
that
encreaseth
such
knowledge
,
addeth
sorrow
.
What
a
misery
is
it
for
a
man
to
haue
no
inward
faithfull
knowledge
or
affection
to
the
Gospell
,
nor
better
proofe
of
his
loue
thereto
,
then
that
hee
carried
it
alwayes
about
him
,
at
his
Girdle
.
My
meaning
is
not
to
taxe
Bible
carrying
,
&
Christian
conference
which
I
hold
a
better
grace
then
Bootes
,
Spurres
and
Rapiers
,
on
Sundayes
,
or
Fannes
of
Fethers
,
&
top-gallant
Ensignes
of
vanity
euery
day
,
but
only
to
shew
the
foppery
of
them
that
carry
Gods
word
and
law
,
not
in
their
hearts
but
only
in
their
heads
,
or
in
their
memories
or
vnderstandings
.
Let
these
bee
as
wise
as
they
may
in
their
own
conceits
,
to
me
they
are
no
better
then
Asses
which
carry
dainty
burdens
,
but
taste
not
of
them
,
Verily
a
man
knowes
no
more
rightly
then
he
Practises
:
it
is
said
of
Christ
,
hee
knew
no
sinne
,
because
he
did
no
sinne
,
and
in
that
sence
,
hee
knowes
no
good
that
doth
no
good
.
Hee
that
will
obey
,
shall
know
my
Fathers
will
,
and
such
as
will
not
doe
what
they
know
to
bee
good
,
a
good
vnderstanding
haue
all
they
that
doe
thereafter
,
and
cursed
are
all
such
as
know
these
things
,
and
doe
the
cleane
contrary
:
Cursed
,
I
say
are
they
because
they
not
onely
cast
away
themselues
,
but
also
lay
a
stumbling
block
before
others
,
both
weake
ones
within
,
and
bad
ones
without
,
such
as
these
know
God
,
and
yet
deny
him
in
their
liues
,
and
are
reprobates
to
euery
good
worke
;
such
as
buy
by
one
Ballance
,
and
sell
by
another
,
haue
a
forme
of
knowledge
,
which
they
pretend
in
themselues
,
&
prescribe
to
others
,
with
all
seuere
seuerity
,
and
liue
themselues
in
secret
by
contrary
rules
.
Friends
in
shew
,
but
indeed
Enemies
to
the
Crosse
of
Christ
,
Therefore
let
vs
all
that
lay
clayme
to
that
honourable
name
,
It
was
wonderfull
,
and
did
wonderfully
ascend
in
the
flame
,
and
made
good
his
name
by
his
action
.
The
art
of
doing
is
that
which
requires
study
,
strength
and
diuine
assistance
:
do
the
sinnes
that
swarm
in
our
times
,
proceed
from
ignorance
,
or
incontinence
rather
,
and
wilfulnes
?
It
were
happy
if
men
had
that
plea
;
if
the
light
were
not
so
great
,
the
times
&
the
nations
had
not
sinne
,
who
amongst
vs
is
so
ignorant
but
hee
knowes
that
Idolatry
,
swearing
,
stabbing
,
whoring
,
and
excessiue
drinking
are
sinnes
,
and
that
for
these
things
comes
the
anger
of
God
?
Is
any
so
simple
that
hee
knowes
not
the
ten
Commandements
,
and
the
sum
of
the
Gospel
yet
how
desperately
doe
men
rush
on
the
pikes
,
carelesly
,
&
wittingly
willingly
,
seeing
the
gulfe
,
and
yet
leaping
into
it
.
Vpon
this
therefore
doe
I
wish
Christians
would
set
prices
,
and
spend
their
studies
,
euen
about
the
art
of
doing
the
Conmandements
.
But
here
some
may
aske
,
how
shall
wee
attaine
this
facility
and
faculty
of
doing
?
I
answer
,
to
wish
it
,
without
Christ
wee
can
doe
iust
nothing
:
therefore
let
euery
one
of
vs
do
that
we
should
do
,
and
blessed
are
we
.
If
we
know
that
Baal
be
God
,
if
Rome
be
the
true
Church
,
let
vs
turne
to
it
againe
;
if
wee
know
that
swearing
,
dicing
,
swaggering
,
and
foolish
fashion
following
be
good
things
;
let
vs
all
fall
to
doe
those
things
:
but
if
God
hath
giuen
vs
the
truth
and
the
light
,
let
vs
walke
in
it
,
and
worke
by
it
while
it
is
to
day
,
lest
if
we
play
reuell
and
riot
,
by
it
the
Candlesticke
be
remoued
,
and
the
light
put
out
:
if
purity
,
sanctitie
,
and
sobrietie
,
be
knowne
to
vs
to
be
good
things
,
and
pleasing
to
God
to
keepe
the
Commandements
,
and
delight
therein
,
O
happy
then
,
thrise
blessed
are
we
if
we
doe
them
.
Therefore
to
conclude
,
though
I
confesse
my selfe
vnworthy
to
write
,
the
night
commeth
when
no
man
can
worke
:
God
loues
a
liuing
sacrifice
,
and
a
chearfull
giuer
:
therfore
let
vs
thinke
with
Titus
Vespasian
wee
haue
lost
thay
day
wherein
wee
haue
not
done
some
good
.
O
what
a
blessed
houre
shall
that
be
,
wherein
our
soules
shall
expire
with
Hezekias
words
:
I
beseech
thee
O
Lord
remember
how
I
haue
walked
before
thee
in
truth
,
and
with
a
perfect
heart
and
haue
done
that
which
is
good
in
thy
sight
.
Deborah
,
O
my
soule
thou
hast
marched
valiantly
.
Dauid
;
Return
vnto
thy
rest
O
my
soule
,
for
the
Lord
hath
rewarded
thee
.
Death
is
the
worlds
strict
doore
keeper
,
and
will
see
,
Blessed
are
the
dead
which
die
in
the
Lord
,
they
rest
from
their
labours
,
and
their
works
follow
them
.
VERSE
2.
His
seed
shall
bee
mighty
vpon
earth
,
the
generation
of
the
righteous
shall
be
blessed
.
HAuing
spoken
of
the
blessednesse
of
that
man
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
and
delighteth
in
his
Commandements
.
Now
in
this
Verse
the
Prophet
Dauid
sheweth
the
happy
successe
of
this
blessed
man
;
His
seed
shall
bee
mighty
vpon
earth
,
&c.
That
is
,
they
shall
not
onely
haue
spirituall
grace
,
but
also
right
vnto
,
and
the
right
vse
of
all
the
benefites
of
this
life
:
true
obedience
to
Gods
Commandements
,
though
it
bee
not
perfect
,
brings
the
blessing
of
God
vpon
vs
for
outwards
things
,
as
well
as
for
inward
.
This
is
promised
in
Deuteronomie
,
where
Moses
speaketh
thus
vnto
the
people
of
Israel
:
If
thou
shalt
obey
diligently
the
voyce
of
the
Lord
thy
God
,
and
obserue
and
doe
all
his
Commandements
,
which
I
command
thee
this
day
,
then
the
Lord
thy
God
will
set
thee
on
high
aboue
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
,
and
all
those
blessings
shall
come
to
thee
,
&c.
Belssed
shalt
thou
be
in
the
citie
,
and
blessed
also
in
the
field
,
godlinesse
is
great
gaine
,
and
that
it
hath
the
promises
of
this
life
,
and
of
the
life
to
come
.
In
which
regard
Dauid
saith
,
I
haue
beene
yong
,
and
now
am
old
,
yet
haue
I
not
seene
the
righteous
forsaken
,
nor
his
seed
begging
bread
:
therfore
Dauids
speech
is
well
to
be
obserued
;
for
he
doth
not
say
,
the
righteous
is
neuer
forsaken
,
Therefore
I
shall
not
want
,
kindenesse
,
and
mercie
shall
follow
mee
all
the
dayes
of
my
life
;
the
Lyons
doe
lacke
and
suffer
hunger
,
but
they
which
seeke
the
Lord
shall
want
nothing
that
is
good
:
the
Lord
God
is
a
sunne
and
a
shield
vnto
vs
,
the
Lord
will
giue
grace
and
glory
,
and
no
good
thing
will
hee
withhold
from
them
that
walke
vprightly
.
And
is
not
this
the
blessing
that
is
promised
to
such
as
feare
the
Lord
,
that
all
good
things
should
flow
vnto
them
from
heauen
and
earth
,
that
they
shall
be
hlessed
in
the
house
,
in
the
field
,
in
their
basket
,
in
their
store
,
in
the
fruite
of
their
bodyes
,
in
the
encrease
of
their
cattle
and
in
the
aboundance
of
all
things
,
first
to
seeke
the
kingdome
of
God
and
his
righteousnesse
,
promising
vs
faithfully
,
that
if
wee
doe
so
all
other
things
shall
be
cast
vpon
vs
.
And
as
he
hath
promised
this
,
so
hath
hee
from
time
to
time
performed
it
,
the
riches
of
iniquitie
shall
not
prosper
,
say
yee
,
surely
it
shall
goe
well
with
the
iust
,
for
they
shall
eate
the
fruite
of
their
workes
:
so
he
would
haue
this
denounced
against
the
vngodly
,
Wo
be
to
the
wicked
,
it
shall
bee
euill
with
him
for
the
reward
of
his
hands
shall
bee
giuen
him
,
they
shall
reape
that
which
they
haue
sowed
.
It
were
and
absurd
thing
for
one
that
hath
sowne
nothing
but
cockle
and
fitches
to
exspect
a
good
crop
of
wheat
,
and
as
contrary
to
all
reason
is
it
for
them
that
sowe
iniquity
to
think
they
shall
reape
any
thing
but
affliction
,
they
may
delude
themselues
with
vaine
hopes
,
but
they
shall
neuer
obtaine
any
happinesse
and
prosperity
from
the
Lord
nay
surely
he
hates
both
them
and
their
practises
,
and
therefore
they
&
their
wicked
seed
shall
be
rooted
out
,
as
wee
may
see
it
verified
in
many
of
the
kings
of
Israel
,
as
in
Ieroboam
,
Ahab
Baasha
,
&c.
And
most
notably
in
that
place
of
Ieremie
,
concerning
Iehoiakim
the
sonne
of
Iosiah
,
woe
vnto
him
,
sayth
the
Lord
,
that
buildeth
his
house
by
vnrighteousnesse
,
and
his
Chambers
without
equity
,
hee
vseth
his
neighbour
without
wages
,
and
giueth
him
not
for
his
works
,
&c.
Shalt
thou
raigne
because
thou
closest
thy selfe
in
Cedar
?
did
not
thy
Father
eate
and
drinke
and
prosper
,
when
he
executed
Iudgement
and
Iustice
?
&c.
Where
is
declared
in
the
example
of
Iosiah
,
the
generation
of
the
righteous
shall
be
blessed
.
Secondly
,
here
is
a
singular
comfort
for
Gods
children
that
are
in
many
wants
&
necessities
,
so
long
as
there
is
any
godly
man
or
woman
that
will
doe
any
thing
for
Christ
his
sake
,
for
their
owne
comforts
sake
,
they
shall
not
bee
destitute
of
reliefe
,
for
God
hath
commanded
his
seruants
to
succour
them
,
and
hath
made
many
gracious
promises
to
such
as
are
mercifull
,
&
will
beare
the
burdens
of
others
,
and
if
men
should
faile
them
,
the
Lord
himselfe
will
looke
vnto
them
,
who
beholds
their
troubles
,
and
sees
their
teares
,
and
is
acquainted
with
all
their
griefes
,
and
he
that
bids
others
to
be
mercifull
,
he
will
not
be
vnmercifull
himselfe
,
and
therefore
it
is
,
that
men
doe
deny
vs
helpe
,
and
comfort
many
times
,
because
God
would
haue
vs
draw
neerer
vnto
him
,
whose
eyes
are
euer
vpon
vs
,
and
whose
eares
are
alwayes
open
to
heare
the
cryes
of
the
poore
,
&
of
those
that
are
humbled
before
him
.
the
Lord
is
with
his
in
mercy
and
goodnesse
,
a
little
that
the
righteous
hath
,
is
better
then
great
riches
of
the
vngodly
:
better
is
a
dinner
of
greene
herbes
,
seasoned
with
the
blessing
of
God
,
then
many
dainty
dishes
poysoned
with
Gods
wrath
and
malediction
.
And
albeit
,
the
Saints
of
God
be
sometimes
depriued
of
these
things
,
yet
they
shall
neuer
be
depriued
of
Gods
fauour
,
and
that
want
of
outward
things
,
shall
bee
supplied
with
inward
graces
,
they
haue
a
sure
promise
,
that
they
shal
haue
sufficient
,
and
God
neuer
giueth
lesse
then
he
promiseth
,
but
many
times
he
giueth
more
then
we
expect
;
and
if
that
which
is
wanting
in
drosse
bee
paid
home
in
good
gold
,
wee
neede
not
to
complaine
,
as
if
we
were
losers
by
such
an
exchange
,
therefore
saith
saith
Salomon
,
Walke
thou
in
the
way
of
good
men
,
and
keepe
the
wayes
of
the
righteous
,
for
the
iust
shall
dwell
in
the
Land
,
and
the
vpright
men
shall
remaine
in
it
,
bue
the
wicked
shall
be
cut
off
from
the
earth
,
and
the
transgressors
shall
be
rooted
out
.
Thirdly
,
this
sheweth
vs
a
difference
betwixt
the
fauor
of
God
,
and
the
fauor
of
men
,
true
it
is
,
the
fauour
of
Princes
and
of
great
men
brings
with
it
many
priueledges
and
preferments
,
but
they
cannot
assure
vs
if
euery
good
thing
,
neither
are
they
able
to
do
all
things
that
they
would
,
yea
many
times
they
are
preuented
by
sudden
death
,
before
opportunity
be
offered
to
manifest
their
loue
,
and
when
they
doe
shew
fauour
vnto
any
,
how
vnstable
is
it
,
and
how
vncertaine
this
Hammon
found
;
to
day
hee
is
honoured
,
His
seed
shall
bee
mighty
vpon
earth
.
whose
breath
is
in
his
Nosthrils
,
and
whose
thoughts
perish
,
and
yet
no
King
can
be
so
bountifull
to
his
fauouries
,
as
is
the
God
of
Heauen
:
excellent
things
shall
bee
done
to
the
man
whom
the
King
doth
honour
,
but
farre
more
excellent
to
him
whom
the
Lord
doth
fauour
:
why
then
doe
we
no
more
respect
his
loue
?
why
doe
we
not
vse
the
meanes
to
become
gratious
in
his
eyes
?
Oh
let
vs
all
seeke
his
fauour
before
the
fauour
of
Princes
,
let
vs
seeke
his
face
euermore
.
Fourthly
,
this
teacheth
vs
to
haue
our
conuersation
without
couetousnes
,
which
is
as
insatiable
as
the
graue
,
in
euery
estate
&
condition
learne
to
depend
vpon
the
Lords
prouidences
,
Commit
thy
way
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
trust
in
him
,
&
he
shall
bring
it
to
passe
.
Vse
no
vnlawfull
meanes
,
take
not
any
indirect
course
for
the
obtaining
of
wealth
or
supplying
our
wants
,
for
God
hath
engaged
his
promise
and
his
truth
,
to
see
our
needs
supplied
.
Lastly
,
let
it
comfort
the
children
of
God
in
the
middest
of
all
the
miseries
of
this
mortall
life
;
The
generation
of
the
righteous
shall
bee
blessed
.
Hence
we
learne
that
Religion
and
true
piety
,
is
the
ready
way
to
the
highest
aduancement
that
can
be
,
therefore
let
vs
set
our
hearts
chiefely
thereupon
,
and
aboue
all
the
treasures
in
the
World
,
principally
to
effect
that
:
wee
count
it
good
husbandry
to
seeke
after
those
things
that
will
doe
vs
most
good
,
if
siluer
bee
offered
,
we
will
preferre
it
before
brasse
;
and
if
gold
be
offered
,
we
will
take
it
rather
then
siluer
.
Now
concerning
this
heauenly
wisedome
it
is
said
,
Receiue
mine
instruction
,
and
not
siluer
;
and
knowledge
rather
then
fine
gold
;
for
wisedome
is
better
then
precious
stones
,
and
all
treasures
are
not
to
bee
compared
vnto
her
.
And
this
should
encourage
vs
rather
to
vse
all
industry
for
the
obtaining
of
this
blessed
estate
,
because
it
is
a
thing
haue-able
:
it
were
in
vaine
for
a
base
person
to
sue
to
bee
a
King
,
a
Duke
,
or
a
Lord
,
none
almost
is
so
foolish
as
to
seeke
for
such
preferments
,
because
they
know
it
would
be
but
lost
labour
,
but
there
is
not
the
meanest
Seruant
,
Slaue
,
or
Bondman
,
but
may
attaine
to
this
spirituall
dignity
,
which
is
far
beyond
all
the
aduancement
that
the
Kingdomes
of
this
world
can
possibly
yeeld
:
hee
that
can
pray
,
heare
,
meditate
,
confer
,
and
with
all
good
care
and
conscionable
respect
,
vse
all
Gods
ordinances
for
the
obtaining
of
faith
and
other
graces
,
which
doe
euer
accompany
the
same
,
shall
be
sure
of
good
and
happy
successe
;
for
the
Lord
will
be
found
of
those
that
seeke
him
with
a
true
heart
,
therefore
let
vs
not
so
cast
our
eyes
on
earthly
commodities
,
as
that
in
the
meane
time
wee
neglect
this
pearle
of
price
,
and
this
inestimable
Iewell
,
that
will
so
exceedingly
enrich
vs
:
Godlinesse
hath
the
promises
of
this
life
,
and
of
that
which
is
to
come
,
and
thereby
shal
all
matters
be
blessed
vnto
vs
.
generation
of
the
righteous
shall
be
blessed
.
First
,
therefore
seeing
religion
is
such
an
incomparable
treasure
,
Therefore
wee
ought
to
breake
through
all
impediments
,
and
swallow
vp
al
difficulties
with
the
consideration
of
this
,
that
our
iourny
tendeth
not
to
the
getting
of
some
small
commoditie
,
or
to
the
purchasing
of
some
worldly
possessions
,
but
that
we
are
trauelling
towards
our
owne
countrey
,
where
we
shall
receiue
an
inualuable
and
eternall
crowne
of
glory
:
and
albeit
we
must
passe
through
many
rough
&
craggy
and
thorny
wayes
,
and
meete
with
sundry
things
that
will
be
very
irkesome
and
vnpleasant
,
Now
that
our
desires
may
bee
futher
enlarged
towards
heauen
,
and
our
affections
the
better
withdrawne
from
the
loue
of
this
deceitfull
life
,
and
world
of
vanities
,
let
vs
meditate
on
those
compleat
ioyes
,
which
no
tongue
indeed
is
able
to
expresse
,
or
heart
of
man
conceiue
,
for
if
their
estate
bee
so
blessed
in
this
life
,
what
shall
their
happinesse
bee
when
they
depart
out
of
this
life
,
at
whose
right
hand
are
pleasures
for
euermore
.
Therefore
I
may
say
with
the
Apostle
,
no
eye
hath
seene
,
no
eare
hath
heard
,
neither
hath
it
entred
into
the
heart
of
man
,
what
vnspeakeable
ioyes
God
hath
prepared
for
them
that
loue
him
.
If
it
be
so
sayth
an
ancient
Father
,
what
can
I
doe
else
,
but
lift
vp
mine
eyes
to
heauen
,
mine
eares
to
God
,
and
my
heart
to
Paradise
,
to
see
and
vnderstand
what
I
can
comprehend
vpon
earth
;
and
therfore
my
soule
longeth
after
thee
O
God
,
and
sigheth
till
it
see
the
brightnesse
of
thy
face
,
O
kingdome
of
euerlasting
blisse
,
where
thou
O
Lord
,
the
hope
of
all
Saints
art
,
reioycing
them
on
euery
side
with
thy
blessed
sight
.
If
the
wise
men
of
the
East
came
so
farre
off
,
and
reioyced
to
see
Christ
in
the
manger
.
What
will
it
be
in
the
sight
of
his
elect
to
see
him
in
his
glory
?
If
Iohn
Baptist
a
babe
sprang
in
his
mothers
wombe
for
ioy
of
Christ
so
newly
conceiued
,
&
not
yet
seene
.
What
shall
his
reall
presence
doe
in
his
royall
kingdome
,
but
euen
rauish
with
ioy
our
very
hearts
&
soules
,
when
we
shall
continually
enioy
his
most
glorious
sight
,
for
it
passeth
all
other
glory
that
the
Saints
haue
in
heauen
,
and
to
receiue
the
beames
of
glory
from
the
brightnesse
of
his
Maiestie
.
If
Salomons
seruants
were
accounted
happy
(
of
Sheha
the
Southerne
queene
)
for
their
dayly
liuing
in
the
Court
of
Salomon
,
&
hearing
of
his
wisedome
,
how
happy
then
and
thrice
blessed
shall
the
Saints
and
seruants
of
God
bee
accounted
,
that
liue
continually
in
the
Court
of
heauen
,
the
very
paradise
and
Pallace
of
God
himselfe
?
O
how
happy
and
blessed
is
hee
which
with
the
onely
desire
and
loue
of
eternitie
pineth
away
;
such
a
one
is
neither
prowde
with
prosperitie
,
nor
cast
downe
with
adversitie
,
for
as
he
hath
nothing
in
this
world
that
hee
loueth
,
so
is
there
no
losse
of
any
thing
in
this
life
that
he
feareth
.
Sweete
is
the
fountaine
to
the
weary
traueller
,
and
rest
to
the
tyred
seruant
;
comfortable
is
the
coole
euening
after
a
hot
Sunny
day
;
yet
much
more
sweet
will
it
be
to
the
Saints
of
this
heauenvly
citie
to
haue
peace
after
warre
,
pleasure
after
paine
,
ioy
after
trouble
,
and
constant
securitie
after
their
so
long
endured
sorrowes
,
then
shall
we
blessed
indeed
as
here
the
Prophet
sayth
.
If
one
Sunne
can
lighten
and
fill
the
whole
world
with
his
brightnesse
,
There
we
shall
rest
,
and
we
shal
see
,
Augustine
,
That
which
is
the
end
,
is
without
end
:
For
what
other
end
is
there
ordained
for
the
godly
,
but
to
attaine
to
that
Kingdome
wich
hath
no
end
.
Wee
call
Paradise
our
Country
,
and
the
Patriarkes
our
Fathers
;
and
the
Saints
our
brethren
and
friends
.
Why
runne
we
not
then
with
all
speede
to
enioy
our
country
,
and
salute
our
Parents
?
a
great
number
of
our
friends
and
kinsfolkes
,
brethren
and
children
,
doe
there
attend
,
wishing
and
expecting
our
comming
,
what
ioy
will
it
bee
both
to
them
and
vs
,
there
to
meete
one
another
?
what
pleasures
are
there
amongst
the
inhabitants
of
heauen
,
which
now
feare
death
no
more
,
and
are
sure
to
liue
for
euer
?
Now
let
thy
seruant
depart
in
peace
:
Dauid
,
when
shall
I
come
and
appeare
before
thee
,
that
we
may
be
blessed
for
euermore
.
Thirdly
,
But
(
alas
)
great
is
our
vnbeliefe
,
full
faint
and
weake
is
our
faith
,
or
else
night
and
day
,
teares
and
cries
should
bee
our
meate
and
drinke
,
whilst
the
wicked
say
vnto
vs
,
Where
is
now
your
God
?
For
one
day
in
his
Courts
,
is
better
then
a
thousand
:
it
is
a
token
of
little
loue
to
God
,
to
be
so
loath
to
goe
vnto
him
when
hee
calleth
,
herein
wee
ought
to
lament
the
weakenesse
of
our
faith
,
and
seeing
our
wants
to
prepare
for
remedy
against
the
time
of
neede
,
and
to
beg
of
God
his
aide
,
strength
and
comfort
against
the
pinch
:
which
things
vndoubtly
if
we
aske
in
faith
,
we
shall
obtaine
and
find
his
promise
true
:
God
reacheth
out
his
hand
to
conduct
vs
,
but
wee
draw
backe
our
owne
,
and
runne
away
when
hee
calleth
vs
,
if
hee
bring
vs
into
the
way
of
saluation
,
wee
mourne
for
the
World
,
and
we
looke
behinde
vs
with
Lots
Wife
,
and
hinder
our
desire
of
well
doing
,
wee
must
therefore
rouze
vp
ourselues
,
and
not
remaine
still
in
the
mire
,
we
must
be
fortified
in
this
vertue
,
who
supporteth
and
comforteth
vs
in
all
distresse
.
Lastly
to
conclude
,
let
vs
attempt
to
despise
corruptible
things
,
and
to
desire
heauenly
and
eternall
,
when
God
calleth
at
euery
occasion
,
let
vs
hearken
vnto
him
:
if
he
be
our
Guide
,
we
must
follow
him
:
for
to
arriue
in
his
house
,
let
vs
receiue
his
benefit
,
and
himselfe
too
,
for
hee
giues
himselfe
vnto
vs
in
the
person
of
his
sonne
,
hee
causeth
vs
to
see
the
meanes
how
to
come
vnto
him
;
wee
must
therefore
request
him
to
bestow
vpon
vs
will
and
desire
,
to
come
thither
by
Faith
,
Repentance
,
Hope
,
&c.
And
that
hee
would
mainetaine
his
gifts
and
graces
in
vs
,
to
the
end
that
heere
wee
may
mourne
in
this
mortall
life
,
and
attend
in
the
assurance
of
his
mercy
,
for
the
end
of
this
world
and
our
last
day
,
which
shal
bee
the
beginning
of
our
true
life
,
when
wee
are
to
receiue
an
inheritance
,
not
mortall
but
immortall
;
not
earthly
,
but
heauenly
;
not
like
the
Goord
of
Ionas
,
