The
fyrste
braunche
of
the
fyrste
Generall
,
namelye
,
the
callyng
of
the
Gentiles
,
and
of
casting
off
the
Iewes
.
THe
calling
of
the
Gentiles
(
of
the
which
I
am
to
speak
somewhat
,
And
to
this
effect
in
most
comfortable
sorte
,
is
almoste
the
whole
.49
.
I
come
nowe
to
speake
of
the
casting
off
of
the
Iewes
,
In
the
twentith
Chapter
of
Mathew
,
Christe
sayeth
to
the
Iewes
thus
:
Therfore
saye
I
vnto
you
,
The
Kyngdome
of
God
shall
be
taken
from
you
,
and
shal
be
giuen
to
a
nation
whiche
shall
bryng
forth
the
fruites
thereof
.
Paule
in
the
.13
.
of
the
Actes
,
speaketh
to
the
obstinate
Iewes
after
this
maner
:
It
was
necessarye
,
that
the
worde
of
GOD
shoulde
fyrste
haue
béene
spoken
vnto
you
:
But
séeing
you
putte
it
from
you
,
and
iudge
your selues
worthy
of
euerlasting
life
:
Lo
,
we
turne
to
the
Gentiles
.
And
for
confirmation
of
their
so
doing
,
they
alleadge
the
wordes
of
the
Prophet
I
say
:
Besides
these
playne
Scriptures
,
it
shall
not
be
néedfull
for
mée
to
alleadge
,
●xamples
of
theyr
reiection
.
For
(
alas
)
●heir
miserable
and
lamentable
dispersi●n
,
and
scattering
abroad
ouer
the
face
●f
the
earth
at
this
daye
,
and
greate
sla●erie
and
bondage
that
they
liue
in
,
in
●he
places
where
they
are
scattered
,
are
●ufficient
testimonies
,
that
GOD
his
●eauie
iudgementes
are
come
vppon
●hem
.
And
these
thinges
wil
séeme
so
muche
●he
more
wonderfull
in
oure
eies
,
if
wée
●onsider
with
how
neare
a
bande
of
loue
●nd
fatherly
kindnesse
GOD
tyed
him●●lfe
,
as
it
were
vnto
his
people
,
&
what
〈◊〉
barre
of
partition
,
and
mightie
wall
of
●paration
,
he
set
betwéene
them
and
vs
.
●somuche
,
that
as
well
in
Ceremonies
,
●nd
Religion
,
as
in
other
matters
of
life
common
trafficke
,
they
were
straight●
forbidden
to
haue
any
manner
of
fe●●wshippe
or
familiarity
with
the
Gen●les
,
so
that
the
very
entraunce
of
one
●ccirumcised
into
theyr
Temple
,
●as
accompted
a
Prophanation
,
●d
also
a
defyling
of
the
same
whyche
the
Lord
himselfe
saieth
by
his
Prophet
Ezechiel
:
Also
of
Ierusalem
he
speaketh
by
the
Prophete
Isaias
:
Arise
,
arise
,
putte
on
thy
strength
,
What
haue
we
to
learne
,
(
for
nowe
I
come
to
the
application
of
this
,
hitherto
spoken
of
the
receyuing
of
the
Heathen
,
and
of
casting
off
the
Iewes
)
for
oure
comforte
or
admonition
,
out
of
this
wonderfull
dealing
of
God
,
bothe
towards
the
one
and
the
other
?
By
the
off
casting
of
the
Iewes
,
They
scorned
the
Prophets
of
the
Lord
:
they
themselues
are
now
a
common
scorne
and
laughing
stocke
vnto
others
.
They
killed
,
and
persecuted
the
seruauntes
of
God
sent
vnto
them
for
their
health
:
they
themselues
to
their
great
woe
and
misery
haue
bin
slaine
,
murthered
,
and
killed
.
They
refused
Iesus
Christe
himselfe
their
Sauioure
,
solde
hym
for
thirtye
pence
by
the
hande
of
Iudas
,
and
chose
rather
a
cut-throat
murtherer
,
than
that
they
woulde
haue
Christe
sette
at
libertie
:
and
they
themselues
haue
bin
reiected
by
Christ
,
and
thirty
of
them
at
the
siege
of
Ierusalem
solde
for
a
penny
,
and
cruelly
slaine
by
cut-throate
and
mercilesse
murtherers
.
They
cry
,
his
bloud
be
vpon
vs
and
oure
children
:
and
they
hadde
their
desire
at
the
full
,
when
their
Cittie
was
taken
.
For
their
olde
menne
were
slaine
in
their
beddes
,
their
yong
men
in
the
streates
,
yong
infants
murthered
at
their
mothers
breastes
,
little
children
dispatched
in
their
nurses
lappes
:
and
to
be
shorte
,
bloude
they
asked
,
and
bloude
they
hadde
,
in
suche
abundaunce
issuing
from
the
greate
multitudes
of
them
that
were
slayne
,
that
the
channels
of
theyr
stréetes
ranne
with
streames
of
whot●●reaking
bloud
(
a
wofull
and
lamentable
sight
to
behold
)
in
as
great
plentie
,
as
you
sée
them
héere
vsually
wont
to
do
,
after
a
greate
shoure
of
rayne
.
They
shut
their
eares
at
the
pitifull
complaynt
of
the
poore
,
themselues
sinning
in
excesse
of
meate
,
as
it
is
cast
in
their
teth
by
the
Prophet
,
&
contrary
to
the
expresse
commandement
of
the
Lord
,
who
streightly
charged
,
that
there
should
be
no
begger
in
Israell
:
they
hadde
theyr
stréetes
and
high
wayes
swarming
wyth
beggers
,
and
themselues
afterwardes
were
so
punished
with
famine
,
that
they
were
constreyned
to
eate
(
sauing
youre
manner
)
most
lothsome
and
vile
things
,
as
their
owne
vomite
and
excrementes
,
and
that
whiche
is
most
vnnaturall
and
barbarous
,
they
did
eate
their
owne
children
,
and
yet
could
not
be
let
alone
wyth
thys
mercilesse
meate
,
but
the
vnmercifull
and
hungerstaruen
Souldiers
would
breake
in
,
and
by
force
take
it
from
them
.
They
banished
,
and
draue
out
of
theyr
Cities
and
territories
,
the
Apostles
of
Christe
suffering
them
to
haue
no
place
nor
abode
amongst
them
,
and
they
themselues
are
nowe
driuen
and
banished
from
those
places
,
and
are
become
a
byworde
and
reproche
in
those
places
where
they
in
small
number
dwell
,
carrying
a
note
of
reproche
on
theyr
garmentes
,
that
they
may
be
knowen
from
other
people
:
and
that
whiche
is
most
horrible
,
they
refused
the
word
of
saluation
,
the
foode
of
theyr
soules
,
and
therefore
hathe
GOD
taken
it
from
them
,
and
bereaued
them
of
the
comforte
,
that
they
myghte
reape
by
the
vnderstandyng
of
it
.
For
albeit
they
haue
the
olde
Testamente
,
yet
GOD
hathe
so
fearefully
punished
theyr
disobedience
,
that
they
vnderstande
it
not
in
the
Hebrewe
tong
wherein
it
is
written
,
and
whiche
was
sometyme
theyr
owne
mother
tong
,
they
vnderstande
it
not
(
I
saye
)
one
amongst
an
hundreth
,
theyr
Rabbines
excepted
,
but
it
is
vnto
them
,
as
the
Lattine
seruice
was
vnto
vs
:
yea
theyr
Rabbines
themselues
whyche
vnderstande
the
signification
of
the
wordes
,
are
farre
from
the
knowledge
of
the
meaning
of
the
same
,
and
that
(
as
I
take
it
)
of
malice
,
especially
in
the
matter
of
the
Messias
Chryste
Iesus
oure
Sauioure
,
whome
they
vtterlye
detest
,
and
abhorre
,
lookyng
yet
styll
for
another
to
come
to
delyuer
them
:
Besydes
that
,
they
haue
horribly
corrupted
the
holye
Scripture
,
by
their
false
interpretations
,
and
Iewishe
,
and
olde
wyues
fables
.
These
horrible
vices
,
deserued
thys
fearefull
reiection
,
and
so
muche
the
rather
,
for
that
they
contemned
the
admonitions
,
and
the
forewarnings
of
the
Prophetes
and
Apostles
,
yea
of
Iesus
Chryste
hymselfe
,
so
that
henceforthe
in
the
Storye
of
the
Actes
,
you
shall
heare
very
little
mention
made
of
the
Iewishe
Churche
,
but
to
theyr
reproche
,
We
people
of
Englande
haue
enioyed
the
Preaching
of
the
Gospell
nowe
these
twenty
yeares
,
and
God
graunte
we
may
many
moe
yeares
enioy
it
,
we
haue
hadde
,
and
at
this
present
haue
manye
Godly
,
zealous
,
and
learned
Preachers
,
the
Lorde
for
his
Christes
sake
,
dayly
increase
the
number
of
them
,
whiche
lay
before
vs
out
of
the
worde
,
God
hys
greate
blessings
bestowed
vppon
vs
,
and
oure
greate
vnthankefulnesse
for
them
.
And
you
héere
in
London
,
out
of
thys
place
,
and
others
,
eeuery
foote
are
admonished
,
and
put
in
mynde
of
youre
duties
,
but
both
we
of
the
Countrey
,
and
you
of
the
Citie
,
for
the
most
parte
,
contemne
it
.
We
are
lyke
vnto
the
children
of
Israell
,
we
are
wéerie
of
the
Heauenly
Manna
,
the
worde
●f
life
,
the
foode
of
our
soules
,
for
the
●bteyning
whereof
,
whych
wée
so
scorne●ully
despise
,
manye
of
oure
poore
brée●hren
in
other
Countreys
,
hazzarde
both
●yfe
and
goodes
.
What
remayneth
therfore
,
but
that
GOD
,
if
we
doe
not
●péedyly
repente
,
shewe
tokens
of
hys
wrath
vppon
vs
,
as
he
did
vppon
the
Iewes
?
And
you
héere
of
London
,
haue
good
experience
of
that
,
Beholde
yee
despisers
,
and
wonder
and
vanishe
away
:
For
I
worke
a
worke
in
your
dayes
,
a
worke
whiche
yee
shall
not
beleeue
,
if
a
man
would
declare
it
you
.
The
Lord
(
I
say
)
for
our
contempte
will
take
his
worde
from
vs
a●
he
did
from
the
Israelits
,
and
bestowe
it
on
suche
as
will
both
make
more
accompte
of
it
,
and
also
be
more
thankefull
for
it
,
which
by
this
that
hath
fallen
out
to
the
Iewes
,
the
LORDE
for
his
Christes
sake
make
vs
to
be
.
We
haue
secondlye
to
learne
out
of
thys
reiection
of
the
Iewes
,
As
you
haue
séene
in
these
Iewes
a
fearefull
example
of
God
his
wonderfull
iustice
in
casting
them
off
for
their
offences
:
There
is
not
therefore
anye
cause
of
boasting
of
our selues
,
or
of
any
thing
in
our selues
,
for
that
we
are
nothing
else
indéede
but
a
huge
masse
and
heauy
lumpe
of
sinne
.
Let
vs
therefore
ascribe
all
the
whole
glorie
of
our
callyng
,
vnto
God
,
that
mercifullye
hath
called
vs
from
errour
vnto
trueth
,
from
darkenesse
to
lighte
,
from
wickednesse
to
holynesse
,
from
condemnation
to
saluation
,
from
death
to
life
,
yea
,
from
Hel
to
Heauen
:
for
vnto
all
these
and
a
greate
manye
moe
enormities
,
are
we
by
nature
enthralled
.
Let
vs
therefore
enter
the
déeper
into
a
true
consyderation
of
our selues
,
and
into
a
thorough
examination
of
our
owne
soules
and
consciences
,
and
then
finding
in
our selues
what
indéede
wée
be
of
our selues
,
we
shall
learne
to
set
lesse
by
our
painted
sheathes
,
and
to
make
better
accoumptes
of
GOD
hys
infinite
and
endlesse
mercie
,
who
hath
thoughte
good
to
place
vs
in
the
roome
of
his
owne
peculiar
and
chosen
people
.
Agayne
we
sée
in
the
consideration
of
the
manner
of
GOD
his
calling
vs
of
the
Gentiles
to
the
knowledge
of
hys
Christ
,
The
iuste
manne
shall
●iue
by
fayth
.
And
againe
:
By
the
workes
of
the
law
no
flesh
can
be
saued
or
iustified
:
by
how
muche
the
more
so
often
as
I
thinke
on
it
(
and
truely
I
doe
manye
times
thinke
on
it
)
I
doe
greately
maruayle
,
what
madnesse
hath
ouertaken
our
Arch-Papistes
to
besotte
themselues
and
others
with
a
vaine
and
wicked
perswasion
of
their
owne
righteousnesse
,
and
an
arrogante
trusting
to
scale
the
highe
forte
of
heauen
,
by
the
broken
and
rotten
ladder
of
man
hys
merytes
,
and
the
corrupte
workes
and
inuentions
of
their
owne
idle
fancies
.
For
if
Christe
and
hys
Apostles
neuer
charged
anye
with
the
obseruations
of
the
Mosaicall
Lawe
,
as
a
thing
necessarye
to
saluation
:
and
that
(
as
appeareth
in
the
wrytings
of
the
Apostles
)
it
hath
alwayes
béene
accounted
an
infallible
note
of
false
Apostles
to
pleade
workes
,
and
that
of
GOD
hys
owne
Law
,
in
the
matter
of
iustification
,
let
then
this
second
note
drawn
from
the
manner
of
God
hys
callyng
of
the
Gentiles
without
inioyning
them
the
obseruations
of
hys
owne
lawe
,
bée
sufficient
in
a
worde
to
touch
the
shamelesse
boldnesse
of
the
Catolikes
,
that
dare
shuffle
in
drosse
&
trumperie
of
their
own
forging
,
to
claime
righteousnes
withal
,
that
I
stand
no
longer
to
conuince
those
,
as
iniurious
to
the
death
and
bloudsheading
of
Christe
Iesus
,
who
teache
that
they
haue
workes
sufficient
,
not
only
to
purchase
Heauen
for
themselues
,
but
also
a
surplus
and
ouerflow
to
help
others
withall
,
that
will
pay
swéetely
for
them
,
in
as
muche
as
their
owne
conscience
euery
nighte
when
they
goe
to
bed
,
maye
teache
them
,
if
they
truely
examine
it
,
that
of
themselues
they
are
not
able
to
thinke
so
much
as
one
good
thought
,
and
therefore
muste
néedes
ascribe
saluation
to
the
only
and
alone
frée
mercie
of
God
in
Christe
,
laide
holde
on
by
the
sure
and
strong
hand
of
a
constant
faith
,
workes
being
no
maner
of
cause
thereof
at
all
,
the
whiche
Fryer
Ferus
,
a
man
of
theyr
owne
,
writing
vpon
this
tenth
Chapiter
of
the
Actes
,
in
moste
plaine
words
,
doth
confesse
,
saying
:
For
so
in
that
firste
and
moste
great
calling
of
the
Gentiles
,
they
oughte
to
haue
beene
made
equall
with
the
Iewes
without
all
manner
of
helpe
of
the
Lawe
,
that
it
mighte
be
now
manifestly
knowne
,
that
righteousnes
commeth
of
the
onely
grace
and
election
of
God
,
and
not
of
workes
:
than
the
which
,
what
can
be
spoken
more
truely
,
&
more
agréeable
to
the
truth
.
The
Lord
if
it
be
his
wil
,
open
their
eies
,
that
in
this
and
all
other
pointes
,
they
maye
bowe
and
yéelde
vnto
the
trueth
.
Thus
muche
of
the
reiection
of
the
Iewes
,
and
calling
of
the
Gentiles
,
by
occasion
of
GOD
his
calling
Cornelius
,
being
a
Gentile
,
to
the
knowledge
of
his
trueth
.
These
bands
consisted
some
of
more
and
some
of
fewer
Souldioures
,
some
footemenne
,
and
some
horsemenne
.
The
fyrste
or
chiefe
bande
contayned
commonlye
a
thousande
footemenne
,
ouer
whych
was
a
Generall
,
and
euerye
Centurye
,
or
hundreth
,
hadde
besides
,
hys
seuerall
Capitayne
,
whyche
of
the
number
of
Souldiours
vnder
his
conducte
,
was
commonlye
called
a
Centurion
,
or
Capitayne
ouer
an
hundreth
menne
.
Such
a
one
was
oure
Cornelius
,
who
in
that
he
is
termed
to
be
Ruler
of
the
Italian
bande
,
we
maye
gather
,
that
he
was
bothe
an
Italian
himself
,
and
also
in
good
estimation
with
the
Emperoure
:
For
as
the
Romaynes
g
thered
their
garrisons
out
of
sundrye
Countrie
men
,
of
the
whyche
also
they
had
their
names
,
like
as
this
consisting
of
Italians
is
thereof
called
the
Italian
band
,
so
likewise
did
they
make
greatest
accompts
,
&
reposed
most
confidence
in
the
garrisons
of
their
own
countreymen
,
out
of
which
also
for
the
most
part
there
were
chosen
Captaines
suche
as
best
liked
the
Emperoure
.
It
is
(
I
saye
)
therefore
verye
likelye
,
that
Cornelius
béeyng
made
Capitayne
of
the
Italian
bande
,
was
hymselfe
an
Italian
well
lyked
of
the
Emperoure
.
More
than
this
,
both
he
and
his
bande
were
not
suche
as
carried
theyr
houses
on
their
backes
,
or
were
in
thys
place
to
daye
,
and
in
an
other
to
morrowe
,
but
hadde
their
fyxed
and
settled
seate
and
abode
at
Cesarea
,
Nowe
if
you
call
to
remembraunce
the
manners
and
conditions
of
the
souldiors
of
that
age
,
Cornelius
hys
vertues
therefore
so
rare
in
suche
licentiousnesse
of
life
,
and
loosenesse
of
manners
,
as
at
that
tyme
raigned
euerye
where
,
but
principallye
amongest
Souldioures
,
are
bothe
to
be
commended
and
praised
,
and
highly
also
to
be
wondered
at
:
who
in
suche
gréedinesse
of
spoile
,
was
so
wel
content
with
his
owne
:
in
suche
vnmercifulnesse
of
others
,
was
himselfe
more
mercifull
:
in
suche
rudenesse
,
so
courteous
:
in
suche
barbarousnesse
,
so
gentle
:
in
suche
irreligiousnesse
,
so
religious
:
in
such
wickednesse
,
so
godly
:
whyche
vertues
,
as
he
had
them
not
of
himselfe
,
so
do
they
the
clearer
sette
foorthe
the
grace
of
GOD
in
him
,
who
staied
him
,
that
he
followed
not
the
multitude
to
do
euil
,
neither
was
led
with
the
most
sort
,
to
do
,
as
most
do
.
The
Doctrines
whyche
thys
second
braunche
ministreth
vnto
vs
,
are
dyuerse
,
but
chieflye
these
:
Firste
,
that
with
God
there
is
no
respect
of
persons
,
but
that
out
of
al
trades
of
life
,
and
sorts
of
men
,
those
that
hate
sin
and
delighte
in
righteousnes
,
are
acceptable
to
him
:
so
the
here
for
oure
comforte
is
set
downe
,
that
whiche
the
Scriptures
plentifully
other
where
do
teache
,
before
him
,
there
is
neither
bonde
nor
frée
,
neyther
riche
nor
poore
,
neither
wise
,
nor
foolishe
,
neither
man
,
nor
woman
,
neither
Gretian
,
nor
Barbarian
,
Iewe
,
nor
Gentile
,
but
whosoeuer
he
be
that
calleth
on
the
name
of
the
Lorde
,
shall
be
saued
.
In
greate
mercie
he
hath
receiued
Noah
the
drunken
,
Abraham
the
Idolater
,
Lot
the
incestuous
,
Dauid
an
adulterer
.
Mathewe
the
Publicane
,
Peter
the
denier
of
hys
Maister
.
Paule
the
persecutor
,
and
Cornelius
the
Capitaine
,
not
to
encourage
vs
boldelye
to
synne
,
but
for
to
assure
vs
(
if
of
infirmitie
falling
with
these
,
we
do
with
the
same
by
harty
repentance
run
vnto
him
)
he
hath
in
store
for
vs
the
like
mercie
which
he
had
for
them
.
As
for
such
as
can
peruersly
alleage
the
falles
of
the
godlie
as
bucklers
for
their
wickednesse
,
their
estate
is
daungerous
and
almoste
desperate
,
but
the
LORDE
kéepe
vs
from
presumptuous
and
malicious
sinnes
.
We
sée
here
again
,
in
that
Cornelius
●
Capitaine
and
Souldioure
is
called
by
GOD
to
the
vnderstandyng
of
hys
worde
and
fayth
in
Christe
,
and
not
bidden
to
laye
aside
armoure
,
and
caste
away
his
weapon
,
and
take
him
to
a
new
●rade
and
profession
of
life
,
that
the
vocation
of
a
souldioure
is
suche
,
as
if
it
be
well
and
honestlye
vsed
,
displeaseth
not
GOD
,
and
that
it
is
also
lawfull
for
●
Christian
Magistrate
(
for
suche
a
one
was
Cornelius
)
to
vse
the
sword
,
either
●or
the
defence
of
the
godlye
,
or
for
the
punishment
of
the
wicked
,
the
whiche
Paule
at
large
teacheth
in
the
thirtéenth
of
the
Romaines
,
and
I
mention
in
a
worde
to
ouerthrowe
the
furie
of
the
Anabaptistes
,
which
contrary
to
the
scrip●ures
do
teache
,
that
it
is
vnlawfull
for
●he
Magistrate
to
vse
the
sworde
.
We
learne
further
,
that
vnder
vngod●y
persecutors
and
wicked
Tirants
,
God
notwithstandyng
hathe
alwaies
hadde
●ome
that
haue
feared
and
serued
him
:
So
in
the
Court
of
Pharao
was
Ioseph
●nder
Achab
,
Obadiah
,
vnder
the
Kyng
of
Aram
,
Naaman
the
Syrian
:
vnder
Herode
the
Ruler
at
Capernaum
:
amongste
the
Scribes
and
Pharisies
,
that
made
a
lawe
to
excommunecate
Christ
,
and
all
those
that
didde
confesse
him
,
the
chiefe
ruler
of
the
Sinagoge
:
vnder
Tyberius
,
or
else
Caligula
,
a
moste
cruell
persecuter
,
this
Cornelius
.
And
I
nothyng
doubt
,
but
that
at
this
day
wythin
the
gates
and
pallace
of
Rome
,
the
Lord
hath
yet
some
one
good
Obadiah
or
other
,
that
one
daye
he
will
vse
,
as
singular
instruments
for
the
behoofe
of
his
Church
.
Yet
is
there
behind
one
lesson
more
to
be
learned
oute
of
thys
seconde
member
,
very
profitable
,
being
applyed
,
for
these
oure
daies
and
times
,
that
we
now
liue
in
,
for
oute
of
this
that
is
here
saide
of
Cornelius
his
being
Captaine
of
the
Italian
bande
at
Cesarea
,
you
euidently
sée
by
that
whiche
hathe
béene
noted
before
of
Cesarea
,
namelye
,
that
it
was
a
Towne
of
the
Iewes
,
but
subiected
to
the
Romanes
,
with
all
the
reste
of
the
Countrey
:
you
sée
(
I
saye
,
)
that
manye
tymes
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
GOD
deliuereth
vppe
a
people
that
was
wont
●o
be
gouerned
by
godlye
lawes
and
orders
,
and
vnder
godly
Princes
,
vnto
Tirants
and
persecutors
,
for
their
greate
●ngratitude
and
vnthankefulnesse
.
For
who
were
euer
better
gouerned
,
and
with
more
equal
and
reasonable
gouernment
,
than
were
the
people
of
the
Iews
:
●et
when
they
disdained
to
be
ordered
,
●y
the
gouernement
of
godlye
Princes
,
whome
GOD
appointed
ouer
them
,
●n
the
ende
,
he
bereaued
them
of
that
be●efite
,
and
gaue
them
,
who
knewe
not
●ell
to
vse
the
libertie
that
he
had
pla●ed
them
in
,
so
farre
ouer
vnto
the
subie●ion
of
others
,
that
they
were
nowe
not
●●ely
vnder
the
rule
of
Presidentes
and
●eputies
,
but
also
hadde
in
al
their
Ci●es
,
bandes
,
&
garrisons
of
forren
souldi●rs
,
amongest
the
which
,
albeit
some
●nes
they
mette
with
some
one
suche
as
●is
oure
Cornelius
,
which
was
a
thing
●oste
seldome
,
yet
the
miseries
that
vn●●●
those
other
,
they
suffered
,
were
won●●●full
,
and
suche
as
they
can
better
re●ember
,
that
sometimes
haue
liued
vnder
the
gripings
of
the
sharpe
talants
of
those
eagree
and
gréedy
Hawkes
,
I
meane
the
violence
of
forraine
Souldioures
,
than
I
am
able
to
expresse
:
and
the
Lorde
,
if
it
be
his
will
,
graunt
,
that
we
Englishmen
haue
neuer
laste
,
nor
experience
of
the
like
.
Lette
vs
therefore
here-out
learne
t●
be
thankefull
vnto
God
for
placing
ouer
vs
in
great
mercie
so
godly
&
gratious
〈◊〉
Quéene

1
We
learne
firste
out
of
this
thirde
branch
,
Thou
shalt
not
follow
a
multitude
to
do
euill
.
walke
ye
not
in
the
ordinances
of
your
fathers
,
neyther
obserue
their
maners
,
nor
defile
your selues
with
their
Idols
.
I
am
the
Lorde
your
God
:
Walke
in
my
statutes
,
&
kepe
my
iudgements
,
and
do
them
,
&c.
Oh
that
our
Papistes
had
eyes
to
sée
this
,
and
heartes
to
beleeue
it
,
with
earnest
mindes
also
to
followe
it
,
then
woulde
they
not
be
so
blinded
with
these
vaine
shadowes
of
fathers
,
times
and
customes
,
but
woulde
measure
the
truth
of
religion
by
the
square
of
the
word
,
which
the
Lorde
if
it
be
hys
pleasure
,
graunt
them
to
do
.
2
Secondly
we
learne
out
of
this
place
and
by
this
example
of
Cornelius
,
in
receyuing
of
true
religion
,
not
to
tarrie
vntill
the
chiefe
rulers
and
Magistrates
imbrace
it
,
but
so
soone
as
God
reuealeth
it
vnto
vs
,
presently
to
take
the
occasion
offered
,
and
to
followe
it
,
otherwise
if
Cornelius
had
wayted
vpon
the
Emperours
receyuing
it
,
he
might
till
this
daye
haue
wallowed
in
his
olde
puddle
of
hethenishe
superstition
,
like
as
in
manye
cuntries
at
this
time
,
if
the
people
should
tarrie
the
leysure
of
theyr
Princes
,
they
muste
still
remaine
in
the
filth
of
Popish
Idolatrie
.
Those
Neutres
therefore
,
that
if
there
come
an
hundreth
chaunges
,
are
still
iumpe
of
the
Princes
religion
,
are
by
this
example
manifestly
confuted
.
Yet
hereof
doth
not
followe
,
that
if
the
magistrate
commaunde
false
religion
,
that
therefore
,
the
subiecte
maye
with
force
●esist
,
but
rather
offering
his
body
to
the
pleasure
of
his
Prince
,
for
the
fréedome
●f
his
conscience
,
saye
with
the
Apostle
:
Whether
it
be
better
to
obey
God
or
man
,
●udge
you
.
3
Thirdely
,
in
that
the
holy
Ghoste
sayth
,
that
Cornelius
was
a
religious
or
deuoute
manne
,
is
moste
apparante
that
to
bée
godly
and
religious
apperteyneth
not
onely
to
the
ministers
,
but
also
vnto
those
whome
they
call
secular
persons
,
by
which
also
is
beaten
downe
their
vaine
distinction
,
made
betwéene
them
of
the
ministerie
,
and
the
rest
of
the
people
,
the
one
of
them
to
be
termed
the
Spiritualtie
,
and
the
other
,
the
Temporaltie
:
the
one
the
Cleargie
,
and
the
other
the
Laytie
:
whiche
difference
as
it
came
first
from
Rome
,
so
I
woulde
to
GOD
that
there
it
were
againe
.
The
onlye
good
it
hath
done
is
this
,
namely
,
it
hath
made
a
greate
manye
,
and
that
of
those
principallye
whyche
are
of
greatest
callings
,
to
thinke
,
that
it
belongeth
onlye
to
those
of
the
ministerie
to
bée
godlye
,
to
bée
zealous
,
to
feare
GOD
,
to
bée
religious
,
as
for
themselues
they
néede
take
no
care
nor
kéepe
of
anye
suche
matter
,
but
rather
wyth
gréedynesse
followe
euerye
one
that
whyche
best●
liketh
his
corrupte
affection
.
But
thy●
example
of
Cornelius
,
sayde
to
be
a
deuoute
and
religious
man
,
sufficientlye
confuteth
all
those
whiche
so
thinke
,
and
withall
,
learneth
euerye
perticular
person
,
that
hée
muste
bée
carefull
to
serue
GOD
,
to
feare
him
,
to
worship
him
,
to
pray
vnto
him
,
and
that
religiously
&
deu●●tly
,
and
that
it
is
not
only
the
part
of
euery
priuate
man
so
to
do
,
but
also
concerneth
as
well
the
Magistrate
,
for
Cornelius
was
a
Magistrate
,
&
therfore
hereby
is
also
ouerthrowen
the
most
wicked
assertion
of
the
vnpure
Atheiste
Machiauel
,
Fourthly
,
Cornelius
being
a
publike
Magistrate
,
and
openlye
professing
religion
,
not
waying
the
daunger
that
thereby
might
insue
vnto
him
,
as
the
displeasure
of
the
Emperoure
,
the
losse
of
his
lyuing
,
of
hys
gooddes
,
and
of
hys
life
,
teacheth
all
men
,
and
amongst
the
reste
noble
men
,
boldlye
to
professe
and
also
expresse
religion
and
godlynesse
,
and
not
to
stande
aloofe
for
feare
of
displeasure
,
and
losse
of
their
honour
,
their
roomes
,
and
theyr
offices
,
as
a
greate
manye
nowadayes
doe
,
where
there
is
in
déede
no
feare
,
hauing
so
Godlye
a
Prince
,
vnto
whome
nothing
can
bée
more
ioyfull
than
to
heare
that
hyr
nobilitye
and
commons
are
moste
religious
and
Godly
.
A
greate
manye
in
this
cleare
light
of
the
Gospell
,
in
which
euerye
man
vnder
his
owne
vine
,
and
vnder
hys
owne
figge
trée
(
as
the
Prophete
speaketh
)
maye
boldely
sitte
and
reason
of
the
wordes
and
wayes
of
hys
GOD
,
are
notwythstandyng
so
luke warme
,
or
rather
in
déede
key
cold
,
that
one
can
not
tell
what
to
make
of
them
.
They
are
very
like
the
thing
called
Spongia
,
the
whiche
a
man
can
hardely
tell
whether
it
haue
any
life
at
al
,
sauing
that
when
it
is
touched
,
it
draweth
it selfe
more
closelye
togyther
,
and
cleaueth
a
great
deale
faster
,
to
the
thing
it
hangeth
on
:
so
they
all
these
twentie
yeares
,
in
whiche
the
word
hath
béen
preached
,
are
notwithstanding
so
close
to
themselues
,
that
you
can
not
by
anye
meanes
knowe
their
religion
,
or
what
they
professe
:
nay
.
if
such
as
by
their
calling
it
lyeth
vpon
to
trye
them
,
and
therfore
doubting
of
them
wil
go
about
to
féele
them
,
to
sée
whether
there
be
in
them
any
life
of
the
word
and
any
knowlege
of
God
méete
for
a
christian
,
then
will
they
indéede
play
the
righte
Spongiaes
,
&
cleane
more
hardly
to
theyr
rocke
of
close
profession
,
shrinking
in
their selues
,
and
wil
not
stick
to
say
vnto
you
:
my
religion
(
Sir
)
nay
you
must
pardon
me
therin
,
I
kepe
that
secrete
from
my
dearest
friend
:
none
shal
know
my
conscience
,
but
God
&
my self
.
But
truely
it
were
greatly
to
be
wished
,
that
the
Quéenes
Maiestie
would
take
order
,
that
these
Spongiaes
,
of
what
degrée
soeuer
they
be
,
may
be
pulled
vp
from
this
stone
of
secrete
and
priuie
profession
,
and
the
rather
,
for
that
it
can
not
be
chosen
,
but
that
they
which
deale
so
closely
towards
God
in
this
peace
of
the
Gospel
,
must
néeds
be
as
hollowe
harted
towards
hir
maiesty
,
what
soeuer
they
pretende
to
the
contrarie
.
But
these
are
the
warye
children
,
they
wil
beare
themselues
warily
and
wisely
as
they
thinke
,
for
feare
of
a
chaunge
,
but
the
Lorde
(
I
trust
)
in
blessing
hir
maiestie
with
long
continuance
of
reygne
ouer
vs
,
will
disappoint
them
of
their
purpose
,
as
hytherto
he
hath
done
,
and
cause
that
before
they
haue
their
chaunge
,
they
themselues
shall
first
make
a
change
of
life
with
death
,
by
one
meanes
or
other
.
In
the
mean
season
,
the
Lorde
graunt
hir
fewe
of
these
doubtfull
Spongiaes
,
and
great
store
of
Cornelians
,
such
as
do
boldlye
,
but
yet
truely
religiouslye
and
deuoutely
serue
and
feare
the
Lorde
.
For
in
those
doth
consiste
hir
su●este
safetie
,
and
those
,
when
so
euer
she
shall
haue
néede
,
shée
shall
finde
hir
trustiest
friendes
.
For
those
that
truelye
worship
God
,
and
embrace
his
religion
,
will
no
doubte
,
most
faithfully
serue
and
obey
hir
.
But
were
it
so
with
vs
,
as
it
is
with
manye
of
our
brethren
in
other
Countryes
,
that
we
coulde
not
serue
GOD
truely
without
the
daunger
of
our
liues
,
yet
Cornelius
,
who
was
in
the
like
daunger
,
telleth
vs
what
to
doe
,
and
so
doeth
also
Daniel
,
wyth
Sydrach
,
Misach
,
and
Abednago
:
of
the
whiche
,
he
chose
rather
to
be
caste
into
the
Lyons
denne
,
than
he
woulde
make
prayer
to
anye
other
than
the
true
God
:
and
they
thoughte
it
better
to
be
thrown
into
the
hote
burning
ouen
,
than
to
worship
the
golden
image
of
Nabucha●nezer
.
For
this
saying
of
Christ
shal
stand
to
the
ende
of
the
world
true
:
He
that
is
ashamed
to
acknowledge
me
before
men
,
I
wil
bee
also
ashamed
to
acknowledge
him
before
my
father
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
But
the
case
is
nothing
so
wyth
vs
as
it
was
with
Cornelius
.
We
maye
professe
religion
,
in
safetie
,
he
coulde
not
without
daunger
:
we
enioy
the
worde
in
peace
,
he
with
persecution
:
we
with
the
liking
of
oure
Prince
haue
the
libertie
of
our
conscience
,
he
could
not
serue
God
without
the
displeasure
of
the
Emperor
:
we
néede
not
to
feare
the
losse
of
life
nor
goodes
,
he
stoode
in
great
hazarde
of
them
bothe
:
and
yet
in
this
greate
peace
,
prosperitie
,
quiet
,
safetie
,
and
libertie
,
we
stand
vpon
such
a
nice
and
tender
point
,
of
sauing
honour
,
estimation
,
credite
,
fauour
,
loue
and
liking
,
that
rare
is
that
man
that
will
venter
to
open
his
mouth
for
the
furtheraunce
of
the
building
of
Gods
Churche
,
or
speake
for
the
preferring
of
good
and
godly
causes
,
wheras
in
our
own
causes
,
if
it
be
for
a
licence
that
may
tend
to
oure
owne
commoditie
,
or
that
may
enrich
our
owne
coffers
,
albeit
to
the
great
hindraunce
of
many
others
,
Lorde
,
how
will
we
labour
,
toile
,
trauel
,
go
,
run
,
ride
,
speake
,
sue
,
and
sue
againe
,
till
we
haue
obtained
it
,
which
argueth
in
vs
great
want
of
zeale
,
for
the
glorie
of
God
,
which
he
for
his
Christes
sake
stirre
vppe
,
and
kindle
in
vs
.
We
are
far
vnlike
the
good
Christian
Capitaine
Terenti
,
As
you
haue
hitherto
hearde
of
such
vertues
in
Cornelius
,
He
feared
God
with
all
his
housholde
,
whiche
coulde
not
be
small
,
he
béeyng
a
Magistrate
,
and
Capitayne
of
suche
countenance
,
as
you
haue
heard
,
and
therefore
his
diligence
and
paines
(
no
doubte
)
was
excéedyng
great
,
which
hée
tooke
,
in
instructing
suche
a
number
in
the
feare
and
knowledge
of
the
Lorde
,
wherein
the
holy
Ghoste
witnessing
,
that
they
all
profyted
,
it
appeareth
euidently
,
that
God
did
wonderfuly
blesse
his
godlye
endeuour
and
faythfull
trauaile
,
by
whiche
it
came
to
passe
,
that
to
his
great
ioy
and
comforte
(
no
doubt
)
he
had
now
a
Church
in
his
owne
house
,
as
euery
true
worshipper
of
God
,
in
hys
feare
shoulde
labour
to
haue
.
Thus
you
sée
,
that
Cornelius
thought
if
not
inough
to
be
godly
himself
,
vnlesse
he
had
his
housholde
godlye
to
:
he
was
not
content
himselfe
alone
to
serue
God
,
but
woulde
haue
his
familie
also
to
doe
the
like
:
he
iudged
it
his
duty
,
as
he
himselfe
was
religious
,
so
to
make
holy
vnto
God
all
those
which
were
his
:
he
would
not
his
selfe
alone
walke
in
the
wayes
of
the
Lorde
,
and
suffer
his
seruants
belonging
to
his
charge
,
to
doe
what
they
liste
,
to
runne
(
as
they
say
)
at
randone
,
to
be
at
their
owne
libertie
,
and
to
liue
as
strangers
from
God
,
but
would
make
them
partakers
of
that
knowledge
,
whiche
he
himselfe
had
learned
,
whiche
as
it
was
a
matter
of
greate
paine
,
so
was
it
also
of
no
mall
daunger
,
the
religion
of
the
Iewes
being
then
in
a
manner
vniuersally
hated
and
disdained
,
yea
,
and
that
whiche
more
is
,
of
the
proude
and
scornefull
Romaynes
cruellye
persecuted
.
But
Cornelius
was
not
ignorant
,
that
it
was
farre
better
to
please
God
,
than
men
,
and
that
the
ignorance
of
his
familie
,
shold
be
laid
to
his
charge
,
if
through
his
negligence
and
slouthfulnesse
to
instruct
them
,
they
ran
into
his
ignorance
.
Therefore
not
weighing
the
scorne
nor
persecution
of
men
,
he
walketh
vprightly
in
the
dischardge
of
his
duetie
,
and
faithfully
and
painefullye
teacheth
his
whole
familie
,
to
serue
and
feare
the
LORD
,
and
in
the
end
,
reapeth
the
fruite
of
hys
labours
,
namelye
,
the
profiting
of
hys
whole
housholde
in
the
true
feare
of
the
Lorde
,
But
take
heede
to
thy self
,
and
keepe
thy
soule
diligently
,
that
thou
forget
not
the
thinges
whiche
thine
eies
haue
seene
,
&
that
they
departe
not
out
of
thine
hearte
,
all
the
dayes
of
thy
life
,
but
teach
them
thy
sonnes
,
and
thy
sons
sonnes
.
And
thou
shalt
rehearse
them
continually
vnto
thy
children
,
and
shalte
talke
of
them
when
thou
tarriest
in
thine
house
,
and
as
thou
walkest
by
the
way
,
and
when
thou
liest
downe
,
and
when
thou
risest
vp
.
This
is
againe
repeated
in
the
eleauenth
chapiter
,
and
a
blessing
added
to
those
that
performe
it
,
in
these
wordes
:
That
youre
daies
may
be
multiplyed
,
and
the
dayes
of
youre
children
,
in
the
lande
,
whiche
the
Lorde
sware
vnto
youre
fathers
to
giue
them
,
as
long
as
the
Heauens
are
aboue
the
Earth
.
That
the
posteritie
might
know
it
,
&
the
children
,
which
shoulde
be
borne
,
shoulde
stande
vp
,
and
declare
it
to
their
children
,
that
they
might
set
their
hope
on
God
,
and
not
forget
the
workes
of
God
,
but
kepe
his
commaundements
.
The
Quéene
of
Sheba
greatlye
commendeth
That
he
will
destroy
suche
as
priuily
slaunder
their
neighbour
,
that
he
will
not
suffer
those
that
haue
proude
lookes
and
highe
hartes
:
that
those
whyche
are
the
faithfull
of
the
lande
,
shall
dwell
with
hym
,
and
those
that
walke
in
the
perfect
way
,
shall
serue
him
:
that
no
deceitful
person
shall
dwell
wyth
hym
,
nor
anye
that
telleth
lyes
remaine
in
his
sighte
:
that
he
will
betymes
cutte
off
all
the
wicked
of
the
lande
,
and
to
be
shorte
,
concerning
the
gouernement
of
his
house
,
that
hée
will
walke
in
the
vprightnesse
of
hys
harte
,
in
the
middest
of
his
house
,
whereby
,
as
the
wordes
following
doe
declare
,
he
meaneth
to
vse
exquisite
diligence
in
trayning
vppe
his
housholde
in
the
seruice
of
the
Lord
.
Helie
the
Priest
of
the
Lorde
,
for
letting
his
children
runne
at
libertie
,
is
himselfe
charged
to
haue
committed
those
sinnes
,
whiche
in
his
sonnes
he
lette
passe
vnpunished
:
besides
that
,
God
fearefully
punished
both
him
and
his
sonnes
,
for
neglecting
hys
dutie
in
this
behalfe
,
for
he
himselfe
fell
and
brake
his
neck
,
his
two
sonnes
were
slaine
in
battell
both
in
one
daye
,
the
Arke
of
the
Lord
taken
by
the
Philistins
,
and
.3000

people
slaine
,
his
sonnes
wife
vppon
the
newes
sodainelye
broughte
to
bedde
before
hir
time
,
and
dieth
in
trauaile
,
whiche
heauie
iudgementes
maye
learne
al
men
worthily
to
tremble
at
the
forslewing
their
duetie
,
in
instructing
their
families
.
Abraham
is
greatly
praised
for
his
carefulnesse
,
in
teaching
his
children
&
houshold
to
walk
in
the
waies
of
the
Lord
:
For
thus
it
is
written
of
him
:
For
I
know
him
,
that
he
wil
command
his
sons
&
his
houshold
after
,
that
they
kepe
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
to
do
righteousnes
and
iudgement
,
that
the
Lord
may
bring
vppon
Abraham
,
that
he
hathe
spoken
vnto
him
.
All
these
bothe
commaundementes
and
examples
(
do
I
trust
)
sufficiently
proue
,
that
it
is
the
part
of
al
men
,
of
what
calling
soeuer
,
to
vse
singular
diligence
and
trauaile
,
to
haue
their
familie
,
and
suche
as
belong
to
their
charge
,
to
feare
the
Lorde
.
As
for
that
I
sayde
they
muste
also
kéepe
none
suche
in
their
house
as
are
stubborne
,
and
tell
scorne
to
serue
the
Lorde
,
the
example
of
Dauid
out
of
the
.101
.
psalme
,
who
will
suffer
no
wicked
person
to
dwell
wyth
hym
,
nor
serue
him
,
and
therefore
none
that
feareth
not
the
Lord
,
doth
sufficiently
proue
it
.
But
thou
wilte
saye
,
Dauid
was
a
King
,
and
I
saye
vnto
thée
,
so
arte
thou
both
a
King
and
Bishoppe
to
,
ouer
thy
house
and
familie
:
a
King
by
gouernement
,
to
kéepe
in
awe
:
and
a
Byshoppe
by
instruction
to
teach
:
&
mayst
so
muche
the
easier
and
with
lesse
daunger
,
teach
and
correct
thine
owne
familie
,
as
it
is
easier
and
lesse
dangerous
to
deale
with
a
priuate
familie
,
than
with
a
whole
realme
,
&
therfore
the
greater
punishmnt
shalte
thou
haue
,
if
herein
thou
omit
thy
dutie
.
If
then
the
instructing
of
those
vnder
oure
gouernement
in
the
worde
of
the
Lorde
bée
suche
,
I
know
he
wil
teach
his
children
and
housholde
,
to
walke
in
the
wayes
of
the
Lorde
:
But
(
alas
)
my
beloued
,
what
is
the
man
,
or
where
is
his
dwelling
,
of
whome
we
maye
saye
,
I
knowe
he
is
painefull
in
instructing
his
children
and
housholde
in
the
wayes
of
the
Lord
.
Surely
suche
a
one
is
almoste
as
rare
vpon
earth
,
as
a
blacke
Swan
.
It
is
saide
of
this
oure
Cornelius
,
And
whereas
euerye
man
is
bounde
to
catechize
his
owne
familie
,
a
greate
many
of
oure
ministers
are
so
ignorant
,
that
they
hadde
néede
to
learne
.
Catechismes
themselues
,
whiche
,
as
in
respecte
of
their
ignoraunce
,
it
is
very
mét
they
should
do
,
so
for
the
same
respecte
it
were
farre
better
that
they
were
vtterly
remoued
,
and
able
Pastors
put
in
theyr
roomths
.
Howe
canste
thou
,
whosoeuer
thou
arte
,
looke
to
haue
thy
familie
faithfull
vnto
thée
,
and
thou
thy selfe
art
faithlesse
to
GOD
?
doest
thou
maruayle
that
thy
seruauntes
feare
not
thée
,
when
as
thou
fearest
not
the
Lorde
,
wilte
thou
stiffely
maintaine
thine
aucthoritie
ouer
those
vnder
thy
charge
,
and
thy selfe
,
yeld
no
obedience
vnto
the
aucthoritie
of
the
eternall
?
Thinkest
thou
muche
that
thy
wife
and
thy
children
shewe
themselues
not
so
obedient
vnto
thée
,
as
peraduenture
they
oughte
,
and
canste
thou
not
sée
howe
thy selfe
arte
a
Traytoure
and
Rebel
vnto
God
,
withoute
all
kéepe
or
regarde
breaking
his
statutes
,
and
without
any
pricke
or
remorse
of
conscience
,
neglecting
and
contemning
his
commandementes
?
Howe
shall
those
vnder
thy
charge
performe
their
dutie
vnto
thée
,
if
thou
performe
no
duety
vnto
God
?
Nay
howe
rather
shall
they
fyrste
learne
to
feare
God
,
and
then
next
truly
serue
thée
without
instruction
in
the
worde
of
the
Lorde
?
Is
it
not
expreslye
sette
downe
in
the
Psalme
,
Howe
God
established
a
testimonie
in
Iacob
,
and
ordained
a
Lawe
in
Israell
,
whiche
he
commaunded
oure
fathers
,
that
they
shoulde
teache
theyr
children
.
And
this
lawe
whiche
he
speaketh
of
,
is
the
commaundement
before
recited
out
of
Deuteronomie
,
concerning
parentes
often
and
diligent
acquainting
their
children
with
the
word
of
the
Lord
.
You
sée
therefore
beloued
,
But
bycause
I
am
thus
farre
entred
into
thys
large
and
fruitefull
fielde
of
childrens
education
;
Wherewithall
shal
a
yong
man
redresse
his
way
?
in
taking
heed
thereto
according
to
thy
worde
.
Hearken
,
hearken
all
you
that
be
Scholemaisters
,
there
is
no
other
meanes
to
haue
your
youth
to
profite
in
vertue
and
godlynesse
,
but
by
taking
héede
to
the
worde
of
the
Lorde
.
And
what
parent
is
he
that
setteth
hys
sonne
to
schoole
,
but
that
hée
woulde
haue
him
as
well
godly
as
learned
?
as
well
a
vertuous
childe
,
as
a
towarde
scholler
?
as
well
instructed
vnto
saluation
,
as
furthered
in
prophane
learning
?
For
if
there
be
any
that
haue
other
endes
in
putting
their
children
to
schole
,
these
being
contemned
,
your
schooles
wer
better
to
be
without
them
,
than
combred
wyth
them
.
From
whence
come
the
generall
complaintes
of
the
vngraciousnesse
and
vnhappinesse
of
schollers
,
but
from
this
,
that
you
neuer
teache
them
theyr
dueties
out
of
the
booke
of
the
Lorde
.
Some
of
you
,
thinke
ouer
muche
gentlenesse
to
be
the
way
,
and
others
continual
and
tyrannicall
scourgyng
and
whyppyng
to
be
the
way
,
whereas
in
déed
you
are
both
sortes
far
and
wide
out
of
the
waye
.
For
the
one
with
too
much
leuitie
encourageth
them
to
a
leud
licenciousnesse
and
loosenesse
of
maners
:
the
others
thinking
by
cruell
and
butcherly
beatyng
to
wynne
reformation
,
ingender
in
them
such
a
mislike
and
lothyng
of
learning
,
that
they
abhorre
with
as
deadly
hatred
the
schoole
house
,
as
we
doe
those
things
whiche
are
moste
lothsome
and
noysome
vnto
vs
.
I
like
wel
of
gentlenesse
,
if
it
be
such
as
by
it
manners
be
not
corrupted
&
spilled
,
and
on
the
other
side
I
allowe
of
reasonable
correction
,
so
as
it
be
vsed
as
the
laste
remedie
,
that
is
,
when
no
other
wyll
serue
.
But
the
first
,
the
best
and
the
chiefest
way
,
is
to
begin
with
teaching
your
youth
the
feare
of
the
Lorde
:
For
that
is
,
as
Salomon
sayth
,
the
beginning
of
Wisdome
.
But
you
feare
peraduenture
that
it
shoulde
be
to
little
profite
to
speake
vnto
children
of
religion
:
I
heare
you
,
and
thinke
of
that
you
saye
,
as
a
cloake
to
hyde
your
faulte
,
and
couer
for
your
slouthfulnesse
,
rather
than
a
true
cause
to
staye
this
duetie
.
He
that
hathe
sayd
,
suffer
little
children
to
come
vnto
me
and
forbidde
them
not
,
for
vnto
such
belongeth
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
wyl
no
doubte
,
blesse
your
labours
taken
in
hande
in
his
feare
.
Beginne
therefore
at
length
and
trye
:
you
shal
I
warrant
you
,
to
your
comfort
,
sée
your
youth
profite
in
vertue
and
godlinesse
.
I
would
haue
you
,
that
setting
aside
all
care
of
religion
in
your
schollers
,
to
make
it
your
only
profession
to
reade
them
prophane
Authors
,
shewe
me
the
example
but
of
one
person
,
whome
,
eyther
Tullie
his
Offices
,
or
Aristotle
his
Ethickes
,
or
Plato
his
Pre●eptes
of
maners
,
euer
yet
made
a
god●y
and
a
vertuous
man
.
I
am
not
against
●he
teaching
of
propha●e
writers
:
I
●nowe
they
haue
their
vse
.
But
I
vtter●ye
misslike
youre
preposterous
,
backewarde
,
and
euerthwarte
care
in
labou●ing
,
chiefely
about
these
,
ommitting
that
whiche
shoulde
be
formoste
,
namelye
in●truction
out
of
the
worde
.
Take
heede
●hat
in
respecte
ye
worthily
runne
not
in●o
the
reprehension
that
oure
sauioure
Christe
vseth
towardes
the
Scribes
and
Pharises
for
touching
Minte
,
and
Annis
,
●nd
Comyn
,
and
leauing
the
weightye
●atters
of
the
lawe
,
as
iudgement
,
mer●e
,
and
fidelitie
:
that
is
,
for
taking
much
●aines
about
trifles
,
and
dealing
slender●●
and
sleightly
in
matters
of
greate
im●●rtaunce
.
Let
the
name
of
God
,
and
of
his
Christe
be
hearde
often
in
youre
scholes
:
let
it
be
familiar
vnto
your
schollers
by
continuall
beating
it
into
theyr
heades
.
What
though
it
enter
in
but
softly
,
the
water
by
often
dropping
pierceth
into
the
harde
stone
:
by
much
heating
the
strong
yron
is
made
softe
:
by
often
putting
into
the
fire
the
toughest
stéele
is
made
pliant
.
And
yet
in
this
comparison
the
case
is
far
otherwise
,
for
we
are
but
the
planters
and
waterers
,
God
is
he
only
that
giueth
the
increase
.
Wherfore
this
duetie
of
instructing
being
especiallye
commaunded
,
being
laboured
in
wyth
reuerence
of
his
holy
name
and
maiestye
,
he
wil
vndoubtedly
blesse
and
further
it
.
Nowe
is
the
time
that
you
may
do
good
,
forslewe
it
not
.
Whilest
your
schollers
be
yong
you
maye
frame
them
as
you
will
.
The
softe
waxe
will
receyue
any
print
,
whereas
the
harde
will
take
none
:
yong
sciences
,
will
be
bowed
,
whiche
waye
you
wyl
haue
them
,
whereas
the
growe●
trées
wyll
rather
breake
than
bende
Loke
what
licoure
a
vessell
is
seasone●
wythall
,
when
it
is
newe
,
it
will
kep●
a
smacke
thereof
when
it
is
olde
.
And
,
teache
a
childe
while
he
is
young
what
wayes
he
shall
walke
,
and
he
will
not
forgette
it
when
hee
commeth
vnto
yeares
.
In
the
fifth
braunche
of
this
firste
generall
,
he
gaue
to
all
the
people
,
this
All
is
to
be
restrained
to
,
all
the
poore
among
the
people
:
for
it
hadde
béene
no
almes
to
haue
giuen
to
the
riche
,
who
had
ynough
alreadie
.
Iohn
the
Baptiste
taughte
the
souldioures
,
that
asked
of
him
their
duetie
,
Th●t
they
shoulde
strike
nor
accuse
no
man
wrongfully
,
but
be
contente
wyth
their
owne
wages
.
Cornelius
hath
plaied
the
good
scholler
,
he
hath
not
only
perfectly
learned
that
lesson
,
but
hath
also
taken
forth
an
other
,
learning
besids
being
contented
with
his
owne
stipend
,
out
of
the
same
,
in
loue
and
of
a
felowe
féeling
of
the
miseries
of
his
poore
brethren
,
to
contribute
vnto
their
necessities
,
for
it
cannot
be
chosen
,
but
in
whome
soeuer
there
is
true
Religion
,
and
the
feare
of
God
,
in
the
same
also
there
muste
néedes
be
loue
,
&
a
brotherly
compassion
,
not
only
to
pitie
,
but
also
to
helpe
the
wants
of
those
that
stande
in
néede
,
so
farre
forth
,
as
by
the
portion
of
good
,
the
whiche
the
Lorde
hathe
blessed
vs
withall
,
he
hath
enabled
vs
.
And
that
out
of
this
loue
this
●elow
féeling
,
this
compassion
,
this
pitie
,
did
issue
in
Cornelius
his
charitable
relieuing
of
the
poore
,
the
very
word
it selfe
,
whyche
Luke
doeth
here
vse
for
almes
,
doth
planely
shewe
.
For
it
properly
signifieth
Mercie
,
whiche
is
an
inwarde
affection
and
touching
of
the
hearte
,
rising
of
the
viewe
of
an
other
mans
miserie
,
and
is
here
put
figuratiuely
,
for
all
outwarde
dueties
of
Charitie
,
whereby
we
doe
good
vnto
suche
as
are
in
pouertie
&
necessitie
.
Wherefore
in
as
muche
as
Cornelius
is
here
said
,
to
haue
bestowed
much
almes
amongst
all
the
people
,
it
is
euident
,
that
there
was
in
him
a
righte
Christian
hearte
,
and
bowels
of
mercie
,
whiche
didde
yerne
,
and
as
it
were
melt
at
the
calamities
of
his
brethren
,
which
did
consider
the
band
of
vnitie
,
which
ought
to
be
betwéene
members
of
all
one
heade
Christ
Iesus
:
who
in
this
respect
did
féede
,
foster
,
and
cherishe
,
prouide
and
care
for
them
,
as
béeing
of
his
own
flesh
,
and
had
regarde
to
helpe
them
,
as
the
very
members
of
his
owne
body
.
There
is
therefore
no
question
,
but
that
Cornelius
liberalitie
and
bounteousnesse
,
springing
oute
of
this
fountaine
of
brotherly
compassion
,
was
no
fained
counterfaite
,
nor
forged
,
but
true
,
right
,
and
perfecte
beneficence
,
almes
and
liberalitie
.
What
auaileth
it
,
my
brethren
,
thoughe
a
man
(
saith
he
)
hath
faith
,
when
he
hath
no
workes
?
can
the
faith
saue
him
?
And
againe
:
But
wilte
thou
vnderstande
,
O
thou
vaine
man
,
that
the
faith
which
is
without
workes
is
deade
?
And
marke
withall
,
I
beséeche
you
,
the
manner
of
his
speache
(
for
it
maketh
being
rightly
vnderstoode
,
verye
muche
againste
the
Popishe
Iusticiaries
of
oure
time
,
whiche
teache
oute
of
hym
that
manne
is
iustified
by
his
workes
,
whiche
wordes
in
déede
he
vseth
)
he
doth
,
not
saye
,
What
if
a
man
haue
faith
,
but
what
if
a
man
say
he
haue
faith
,
by
whiche
appeareth
,
that
he
speaketh
of
hipocrites
and
vaine
boasters
of
faith
.
For
the
true
and
liuely
faith
can
be
no
more
without
workes
,
than
the
fire
withoute
heate
,
than
water
without
moisture
,
the
Sunne
without
brightnesse
,
the
good
trée
without
his
good
fruite
.
without
Faith
,
it
is
impossible
to
please
God
.
Whereof
I
conclude
,
that
as
after
the
example
of
Cornelius
,
a
Christian
muste
doe
good
workes
,
so
must
he
haue
Faith
before
:
or
else
howe
glorious
soeuer
they
séeme
in
the
sighte
of
man
,
before
the
Lorde
they
stincke
,
and
are
abhominable
.
And
therefore
is
it
also
in
this
place
verye
well
saide
of
Cornelius
,
firste
,
that
he
was
a
religious
man
,
and
one
that
feared
GOD
:
and
secondly
,
that
he
gaue
muche
almes
to
all
the
people
.
Thus
you
sée
,
that
in
hym
went
firste
faith
,
religion
,
and
the
feare
of
God
,
and
then
,
that
these
were
not
ydle
,
his
good
workes
and
déedes
doe
declare
.
And
thus
lette
Papistes
saye
what
they
liste
,
wée
teache
,
that
in
Christians
it
oughte
to
be
,
and
with
their
owne
eies
in
a
greate
manye
they
may
sée
it
for
to
be
,
and
God
graunte
,
that
in
all
those
,
that
doe
professe
hys
name
and
religion
,
it
maye
be
:
I
meane
,
that
all
suche
as
doe
in
worde
confesse
Christe
Iesus
to
be
the
Lorde
,
maye
in
déede
with
Cornelius
so
godlye
walke
,
that
by
their
liuing
before
the
worlde
,
they
maye
be
taken
for
Christians
.
Though
I
feed
the
poore
with
all
my
goods
,
and
haue
not
loue
,
it
profiteth
mee
nothing
.
And
the
Lord
by
his
Prophet
Isay
,
we
hide
not
oure
face
from
our
owne
fleshe
.
So
you
sée
,
that
if
our
giuing
,
issue
out
of
any
other
heads
than
out
of
loue
,
and
a
fellowe
féeling
of
the
wantes
of
oure
néedie
brethren
,
in
that
they
be
oure
very
owne
fleshe
,
it
is
as
nothing
before
GOD
.
Cornelius
gaue
muche
almes
to
all
the
people
:
Wée
that
are
farre
beyonde
him
in
wealth
and
substaunce
,
thynke
wée
haue
done
very
well
,
and
ynoughe
,
if
we
haue
giuen
a
little
vnto
a
fewe
:
Cornelius
gaue
plentifullye
whilest
hée
was
aliue
,
and
we
giue
sparingly
,
for
feare
we
shall
lacke
ere
we
dye
.
And
thys
is
a
greate
faulte
amongest
the
wealthie
of
this
worlde
,
Giue
accountes
of
thy
Stewardship
,
for
thou
shalte
bee
no
longer
Stewarde
Now
followeth
Cornelius
his
dayly
and
often
praying
vnto
God
.
he
prayed
God
continually
.
As
before
where
the
holy
Ghost
speaketh
of
Cornelius
his
almes
,
he
figuratiuely
vseth
that
worde
,
being
but
one
part
,
for
all
the
kindes
of
charitie
:
so
here
he
setteth
down
his
dayly
vse
of
praying
for
the
whole
worship
of
God
,
as
a
certain
and
vndisceauable
note
of
his
vnfeined
godlynesse
.
For
where
there
is
the
true
feare
of
God
,
whych
hath
bene
alredy
shewed
to
haue
remayned
in
Cornelius
,
there
must
needs
be
also
a
feruent
desire
by
earnest
prayer
to
humble
our
selues
before
the
maiestie
of
God
,
to
bée
by
his
holy
spirit
directed
in
the
true
knowledge
of
him
,
&
his
Christ
,
that
thereby
wée
may
be
taught
to
walke
in
such
ways
as
are
acceptable
before
him
.
This
desire
may
appeare
to
haue
bene
in
Cornelius
,
by
the
wordes
whiche
hereafter
the
Angell
vseth
vnto
hym
,
where
hée
willeth
him
to
sende
for
Peter
,
who
shoulde
teach
him
,
what
he
shoulde
do
.
For
being
in
the
number
of
those
whyche
hadde
receyued
the
true
knowledge
of
GOD
,
he
prayeth
that
he
maye
be
admitted
vnto
a
further
and
a
more
clearer
lighte
of
vnderstanding
,
concerning
his
hope
of
saluation
in
the
redéemer
Christ
Iesus
,
yet
not
fully
reueled
vnto
him
.
His
prayer
being
reported
not
to
be
of
course
or
of
custome
,
or
seldome
,
but
dayly
and
often
,
is
a
signe
vnto
vs
,
that
his
religion
was
not
builded
vpon
feyned
and
counterfaite
trifles
,
or
consisted
in
outward
rites
and
ceremonies
,
but
that
as
god
is
a
spirite
(
as
Iohn
witnesseth
)
so
Cornelius
lyke
a
true
worshipper
,
did
pray
vnto
him
and
worship
him
in
spirite
and
truth
,
and
did
not
sleyghtly
(
after
the
manner
of
the
common
sort
)
vse
coldly
and
faintely
this
exercise
of
praying
in
number
&
measure
,
but
was
earnestly
,
and
euen
from
the
hart
,
bent
often
to
call
vppon
God
,
like
as
hys
manifolde
benefites
,
and
vnspeakable
mercies
daylye
towardes
him
,
did
continuallye
prouoke
and
call
him
therevnto
.
Thys
example
of
Cornelius
hys
dayly
praying
vnto
God
,
And
pray
alwayes
with
all
manner
prayer
and
supplication
in
the
spirit
.
Againe
,
if
we
woulde
consider
what
Abraham
,
what
Isaac
,
what
Iacob
,
what
Aaron
,
Moses
,
Iosua
,
Dauid
,
Salomon
,
Iosias
,
Ezechias
,
Elias
,
Daniel
,
the
Publicane
,
the
théefe
on
the
crosse
,
the
Apostles
,
the
Churche
praying
for
Peter
in
prison
,
with
innumerable
others
,
haue
obtayned
at
the
handes
of
GOD
by
prayer
,
the
mighty
and
wonderfull
effectes
that
haue
followed
of
theyr
prayer
,
must
néedes
prouoke
and
stirre
vs
vp
,
to
the
often
and
vnfeyned
exercise
of
this
moste
Godly
duetie
,
and
cause
vs
,
wyth
Cornelius
dayly
to
pray
vnto
God
.
But
we
,
al
these
notwithstanding
,
either
pray
neuer
,
or
else
very
seldome
,
and
euen
then
for
the
most
parte
,
of
custome
,
thinke
the
reading
and
mumbling
vp
other
godlye
mens
prayers
,
howe
farre
soeuer
our
heartes
be
from
that
which
we
speake
,
to
be
a
good
prayer
before
God
,
and
that
for
thys
duetie
perfourmed
thus
,
of
fashion
rather
than
of
hartie
and
earnest
zeale
,
we
haue
God
euen
bounde
vnto
vs
,
so
that
all
the
daye
after
we
are
dispenced
withall
to
doe
what
we
liste
,
muche
like
vnto
the
Papistes
,
who
if
they
haue
once
hearde
Masse
,
they
haue
euen
for
the
worke
done
(
as
they
terme
it
,
)
deserued
frée
remission
for
all
those
offences
which
all
the
daye
after
they
shoulde
committe
.
Wel
,
all
that
I
can
saye
in
this
greate
slackenesse
,
and
disorder
in
prayer
,
is
,
to
wishe
you
all
humblye
to
praye
vnto
GOD
to
roote
out
of
vs
thys
great
negligence
,
and
to
graunte
vs
with
Cornelius
,
continuallye
and
dayly
,
not
with
the
lippes
,
but
with
the
hearte
,
earnestlye
to
call
vpon
him
,
which
if
we
truelye
loue
him
,
we
will
assuredlye
doe
,
and
by
no
meanes
be
letted
therefrom
.
For
as
he
that
truely
loueth
,
delighteth
in
nothing
more
than
in
the
often
talking
and
conference
with
him
whom
he
loueth
:
Thou
shalt
worshippe
the
Lord
thy
God
,
and
him
only
shalt
thou
serue
.
Wherfore
calling
vpon
the
name
of
the
lord
being
one
of
his
chiefest
seruices
,
it
belongeth
vnto
him
alone
,
&
cannot
without
horrible
robbery
be
giuen
to
ani
other
.
And
good
reason
it
is
,
that
he
only
should
be
prayed
vnto
for
helpe
&
saluation
,
who
alone
is
able
to
help
,
who
alone
knoweth
how
to
help
,
who
alone
is
willing
to
help
,
vnto
whom
alone
&
vnto
no
other
our
prayers
can
be
made
,
that
they
may
be
heard
:
who
alone
can
not
only
by
our
suite
conceyue
our
grief
▪
but
also
according
to
his
infinite
wisedome
and
vnsearchable
understanding
,
knoweth
a
great
deale
better
what
we
lack
,
than
we
for
our
ignorance
are
able
to
expresse
.
According
herevnto
speaketh
the
Lord
by
his
Prophete
:
I
,
euen
I
,
am
the
Lorde
,
and
beside
me
there
is
no
sauiour
.
And
againe
:
I
sayde
not
in
vaine
vnto
the
seede
of
Iacob
:
Seeke
you
mee
:
I
the
Lorde
doe
speake
righteousnesse
,
&
declare
righteous
things
.
They
haue
no
knowlege
,
that
set
vp
the
wood
of
their
Idol
;
&
pray
vnto
a
god
that
can
not
saue
them
.
There
is
no
other
God
beside
me
,
a
iust
God
,
&
a
sauiour
:
there
is
none
beside
me
.
Whervpon
he
inferreth
:
Loke
vnto
me
,
and
ye
shall
be
saued
:
all
the
ends
of
the
earth
shall
be
saued
:
for
I
am
God
,
and
there
is
no
other
What
can
be
sayd
either
more
plainly
to
withdraw
vs
from
praying
vnto
any
other
,
sith
god
witnesseth
that
no
other
can
help
,
or
more
comfortably
to
allure
vs
to
cal
only
vpon
the
Lord
,
for
as
much
as
himself
hath
promised
that
séeking
to
him
we
shal
be
saued
.
If
this
promise
can
not
serue
,
we
haue
also
commandements
,
so
wil
I
deliuer
thee
,
&
thou
shalt
glorify
me
.
And
come
vnto
me
(
saith
Christ
our
sauiour
)
all
ye
that
are
wearie
&
laden
,
&
I
wil
ease
you
.
Concerning
Saints
&
Angels
,
we
read
that
when
this
our
Cornelius
fel
down
before
Peter
&
gaue
him
but
only
outward
reuerence
,
Peter
would
none
of
it
,
for
euen
I
my selfe
am
a
man
.
And
Paul
&
Barnabas
refuse
to
be
sacrificed
vnto
at
Lystra
,
willing
the
people
only
to
worship
god
.
See
thou
do
it
not
:
I
am
thy
felowe
seruaunt
,
and
one
of
thy
brethren
,
which
haue
the
testimonie
of
Iesus
.
Worship
God
.
And
the
Angel
in
the
booke
of
Iudges
sayeth
vnto
Manoah
the
father
of
Sampson
:
Though
thou
make
me
abide
,
I
will
not
eate
of
thy
breade
,
and
if
thou
wilt
make
a
burnte
offering
,
offer
it
vnto
the
Lorde
.
In
the
historie
of
the
Euangelistes
you
shal
finde
,
that
Christe
moste
readilye
and
louynglye
graunted
the
requestes
of
all
those
which
humblye
in
faythe
soughte
vnto
hym
,
whereas
to
hys
mother
requesting
hym
at
the
mariage
to
helpe
them
,
when
their
wine
fayled
,
he
answereth
,
woman
what
haue
I
to
do
with
thee
,
mine
houre
is
not
yet
come
.
And
to
his
Apostles
saying
of
the
woman
of
Canaan
:
Lord
dispatche
hir
,
for
she
crieth
after
vs
,
he
saith
,
he
was
not
sente
but
to
the
loste
sheepe
of
the
house
of
Israel
.
And
this
no
doubt
to
embolden
and
encourage
vs
to
make
oure
prayers
vnto
God
by
Christe
and
not
by
saints
,
yea
the
scripture
plainly
teacheth
,
Doubtlesse
thou
art
our
father
:
though
Abraham
be
ignoraunt
of
vs
,
and
Israel
knowe
vs
not
,
yet
thou
oh
Lorde
,
arte
oure
father
,
&
our
redeemer
:
thy
name
is
for
euer
If
then
,
amongst
wise
men
it
be
counted
folly
to
pray
vnto
one
that
is
absent
whiche
can
not
heare
our
prayer
:
nay
if
it
be
Idolatrie
to
suppose
that
the
soules
of
dead
men
eyther
are
in
all
places
at
once
,
or
beyng
but
in
one
place
are
able
to
vnderstande
the
mindes
of
al
men
,
in
all
places
(
for
it
is
the
peculiar
propertie
of
God
to
knowe
the
heartes
,
and
therfore
are
they
Idolaters
that
giue
this
to
anye
other
)
if
it
be
a
greate
and
notorious
iniurie
vnto
Christ
to
think
any
Saint
or
Angel
to
be
in
power
or
loue
equal
vnto
him
,
much
more
superiour
:
if
god
only
(
as
it
hath
bin
by
the
scripture
plainely
proued
,
be
able
,
wylling
,
knowing
how
to
helpe
,
hearyng
our
prayers
in
faith
made
for
helpe
,
and
better
vnderstanding
how
to
helpe
,
than
we
are
able
to
expresse
,
if
he
haue
promised
to
help
,
if
he
haue
commaunded
to
sue
vnto
hym
for
helpe
:
&
finally
if
the
Saints
and
Angels
haue
refused
outward
worshippe
,
and
therefore
woulde
much
more
refuse
inuocation
,
being
a
high
seruice
of
God
,
and
carrying
also
with
it
a
parte
of
beliefe
(
for
howe
shall
they
call
on
him
,
on
whom
they
haue
not
beleeued
?
)
if
the
dead
Sainctes
are
ignoraunce
of
vs
and
knowe
vs
not
let
vs
then
(
beloued
)
wyth
Cornelius
pray
continually
,
&
only
vnto
God
,
the
knoweth
vs
,
who
is
not
ignorant
of
vs
,
&
he
no
doubt
for
hys
Christs
sake
,
in
al
things
wil
heare
vs
that
we
shall
aske
in
his
name
:
so
far
as
they
make
for
the
furtherance
of
his
glorie
,
&
benefit
of
vs
the
aske
for
them
at
his
handes
.
For
if
when
through
sin
,
wickednesse
&
transgression
,
we
were
enimies
vnto
God
,
&
strangers
from
righteousnesse
,
which
is
by
Christ
,
it
pleased
God
in
great
mercie
,
to
sende
his
son
to
worke
the
attonement
betwéen
hym
&
vs
.
being
now
by
Christ
made
friendes
with
God
,
it
can
not
be
chosen
,
but
that
he
wil
graunt
vs
whatsoeuer
we
shal
aske
in
hys
name
according
to
his
word
.
Thus
haue
you
séene
in
Cornelius
a
godly
Gentile
,
a
religious
souldiour
,
a
deuoute
gouernor
,
a
Christian
captain
,
one
that
none
of
the
engines
&
trappes
of
Satan
could
so
entangle
&
bewrap
,
that
they
coulde
staye
,
or
withhold
him
from
the
exercises
of
godlynesse
,
albeit
they
were
,
to
catche
withal
,
baited
on
the
one
side
with
the
vain
pleasures
&
delites
of
this
world
,
wyth
promotion
,
with
honor
,
with
loue
,
fauour
,
&
liking
:
on
the
other
side
,
with
persecution
;
with
mockes
&
scornes
of
the
wicked
,
with
hatred
,
disdain
,
enuie
,
displeasure
of
other
superiours
&
the
Emperor
,
&
as
depending
theron
with
feare
of
losse
of
office
,
life
,
&
liuing
,
with
which
notwithstanding
he
is
not
moued
,
but
goeth
on
boldely
in
the
course
of
Christian
religion
,
in
which
hée
had
begun
.
Such
a
one
in
respect
of
godlinesse
,
religion
,
&
the
fear
of
the
Lord
ought
euery
one
of
vs
,
of
what
degrée
or
calling
soeuer
,
for
to
be
.
But
(
alas
)
dere
brethren
,
whiche
waye
might
a
man
take
to
go
to
finde
the
house
of
Cornelius
,
wherein
not
only
the
master
of
the
house
with
his
wife
is
godlye
,
but
hath
by
his
Christian
trauaile
and
paintaking
in
instructing
but
of
the
worde
,
all
his
householde
fearing
God
.
I
beséeche
you
take
a
little
paines
wyth
me
,
to
search
amongst
al
sortes
and
kindes
of
men
,
for
Cornelius
,
and
then
will
it
easily
appeare
how
rare
a
thing
it
is
to
finde
him
.
And
firste
in
the
waye
of
good
spéede
let
vs
beginne
wyth
men
of
his
own
profession
,
and
of
the
same
trade
of
life
with
him
,
I
meane
Captaines
,
and
let
vs
by
conference
of
their
manners
&
qualities
,
with
his
,
make
a
triall
,
howe
neare
of
kinne
the
Captaines
of
our
time
are
with
Cornelius
,
the
Captaine
of
that
time
.
Capitaine
Cornelius
gaue
muche
almes
to
all
the
néedie
of
the
people
:
our
Capitaines
liue
by
the
spoile
and
robberie
of
others
,
chieflie
,
if
they
once
get
to
sea
.
There
God
séeth
them
not
,
all
is
fish
that
commeth
to
nette
,
and
that
shippe
whiche
they
finde
loden
with
richest
bootie
and
most
pretious
marchandize
,
is
alwaies
the
ship
of
oure
enimie
,
and
therefore
we
muste
néedes
haue
the
spoile
of
him
,
albeit
he
be
neuer
so
godly
,
and
many
tymes
our
owne
Countryman
.
Captaine
Cornelius
was
daily
and
continuallye
occupied
in
prayer
vnto
God
:
our
Captaines
like
the
parishe
the
worse
the
Churche
standeth
in
.
Captaine
Cornelius
vsed
weapon
at
the
commandement
,
and
in
the
obedience
of
hys
lawfull
Magistrate
,
for
to
withstande
the
inuasion
of
enimies
,
to
kéepe
vnder
,
as
well
the
Iewes
,
as
others
,
that
were
likelie
to
rebel
,
&
to
maintaine
the
publike
peace
:
oure
Captaines
run
from
place
to
place
,
and
from
realme
to
realme
,
hyred
for
mony
,
not
caring
to
intermeddle
themselues
in
warres
nothing
appertaining
vnto
them
,
and
there
will
they
serue
where
they
may
haue
moste
wages
,
bée
it
vnder
the
banner
,
ensigne
,
or
standard
of
the
Pope
,
the
Turke
,
or
the
Diuell
to
,
if
he
were
vpon
earth
to
entertaine
souldiors
.
And
so
odious
vnto
them
is
the
name
of
Peace
,
that
they
in
manner
abhorre
&
curse
it
,
wishing
and
praying
for
war
,
war
,
that
with
the
bloude
and
spoile
of
others
,
they
may
enrich
themselues
.
The
qualities
whiche
were
in
Cornelius
,
besides
his
knowledge
in
feates
of
warre
,
were
godlinesse
,
religion
,
feare
of
God
,
Christian
trayning
vppe
of
his
familie
,
almes
déeds
,
and
prayer
,
and
such
should
likewise
be
in
the
Captains
of
our
time
in
all
places
.
But
howe
are
men
commonly
iudged
of
in
respecte
of
méetenesse
to
be
Captaines
,
if
he
can
set
his
countenaunce
sternly
,
looke
biggly
,
goe
proudly
,
walke
stately
,
and
sweare
roundlye
,
nay
terribly
,
in
such
fearefull
sorte
,
that
hée
woulde
make
the
Diuell
,
if
hée
were
incarnate
,
to
quake
and
tremble
at
the
hearing
of
it
,
suche
a
one
is
a
valiaunt
and
a
lustie
,
and
stoute
Capitayne
.
I
condemne
not
in
Capitaynes
countenaunce
,
personage
,
making
,
manhoode
,
I
reuerence
them
well
vsed
,
as
the
good
giftes
of
God
:
neyther
doe
I
disallowe
the
callyng
of
a
Capitayne
whiche
I
confesse
to
bée
néedefull
and
necessarie
,
and
wherein
a
manne
may
serue
GOD
as
this
oure
Cornelius
:
I
onelye
reproue
the
disorders
of
badde
Captains
,
and
wishe
and
praye
,
that
as
there
bée
(
no
doubte
)
some
godlye
and
vertuous
Capitaines
,
so
that
all
maye
be
Cornelians
:
for
it
shall
be
no
shame
at
all
for
them
,
to
sette
him
before
them
for
theyr
paterne
,
nay
shame
and
confusion
will
it
be
to
them
all
,
if
hauyng
with
Cornelius
the
same
profession
of
life
,
they
haue
not
also
with
hym
the
like
agréement
in
maners
,
which
God
for
Christes
sake
graunte
vnto
them
.
Nowe
if
we
shall
séeke
for
Cornelius
among
the
common
people
,
we
shal
likewise
proue
it
a
hard
thing
there
to
finde
hym
,
If
thou
tourne
awaye
thy
foote
from
the
Sabaoth
,
from
doyng
thy
will
on
mine
holy
day
,
and
call
the
Sabaoth
a
delighte
to
consecrate
it
,
as
glorious
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
shalte
honour
him
,
not
doing
thine
owne
wayes
,
nor
seeking
thine
own
wil
,
nor
speaking
a
vaine
worde
,
then
shalte
thou
delight
in
the
Lord
,
and
I
wil
cause
thee
to
mount
vppon
the
high
places
of
the
earth
,
and
feede
thee
with
the
heritage
of
Iacob
thy
father
:
For
the
mouthe
of
the
Lorde
hath
spoken
it
.
As
in
these
wordes
is
sette
downe
a
blessing
to
such
,
as
leauing
their
own
waies
,
and
the
doing
of
their
owne
willes
on
the
Lordes
daye
,
sette
their
delighte
to
doe
the
will
of
God
on
his
holy
day
(
which
I
thinke
is
not
to
goe
to
a
wanton
Play
)
and
doe
consecrate
it
as
glorious
vnto
the
Lord
,
so
the
séeking
that
day
to
please
our
own
fantasies
,
and
to
runne
after
that
which
our
flesh
gréedily
delighteth
,
hathe
following
after
it
the
contrarie
curse
,
that
I
speake
not
howe
little
pollicie
it
is
to
suffer
so
muche
mony
to
be
so
ill
spente
,
whiche
might
be
employed
to
better
vses
.
For
reckening
with
the
leaste
,
the
gaine
that
is
reaped
of
eighte
ordinarie
places
in
the
Citie
whiche
I
knowe
,
by
playing
but
once
a
wéeke
(
whereas
many
times
they
play
twice
.
and
somtimes
thrice
)
it
amounteth
to
.2000
.
pounds
by
the
yeare
,
the
suffering
of
whiche
waste
muste
one
daye
be
answered
before
God
,
by
such
as
suffer
it
,
and
the
vnprofitable
expence
by
such
as
giue
it
,
togither
with
the
losse
of
time
,
which
Paule
willeth
vs
to
redéeme
,
for
that
the
dayes
are
euill
:
&
who
is
he
that
is
so
euill
,
as
to
affirme
two
houres
spent
,
in
hearing
a
bawdie
play
,
which
shoulde
be
spent
in
hearing
a
Sermon
,
to
be
the
redéeming
of
tyme
,
whiche
Paule
meaneth
.
I
feare
me
(
beloued
)
I
feare
me
,
if
we
shall
,
notwithstanding
the
often
crying
out
of
the
preachers
againste
suche
vanities
,
still
with
gréedinesse
runne
to
such
lewde
exercise
,
Surely
,
they
are
poore
,
they
are
foolishe
,
for
they
know
not
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
nor
the
iudgement
of
their
God
:
I
will
get
me
in
to
the
greate
men
,
and
wyll
speake
vnto
them
,
for
they
haue
known
the
way
of
the
Lorde
,
and
the
iudgement
of
their
God
:
but
these
haue
altogither
broken
the
yoke
,
and
burste
the
bands
.
Euen
so
fareth
it
with
the
great
men
of
oure
times
,
whereas
they
shoulde
know
the
wayes
of
the
Lorde
,
and
not
be
ignorant
of
the
iudgementes
of
their
GOD
,
by
the
order
and
vsage
in
their
houses
&
families
,
it
shoulde
appeare
that
there
raigneth
in
them
,
greate
ignoraunce
of
both
.
¶
The
second
parte
.
NOwe
I
am
to
handle
the
speciall
parts
of
my
second
general
,
containing
the
Embassage
of
the
Angel
to
Cornelius
,
which
with
the
rest
that
is
behind
of
the
thirde
pointe
,
I
wil
knitte
vp
in
as
much
shortnesse
as
may
be
,
for
that
I
haue
stoode
verye
long
vppon
the
doctrines
and
application
of
the
members
of
the
firste
parte
.
You
haue
therefore
in
this
seconde
pointe
fyrste
,
to
consider
Gods
calling
of
Cornelius
by
the
appearaunce
of
an
Angell
vnto
hym
in
a
vision
at
the
ninth
houre
of
the
daye
,
whyche
was
aboute

their

Thys
circumstaunce
of
tyme
,
by
whiche
it
appeareth
,
that
the
commyng
of
the
Angell
vnto
Cornelius
,
was
not
in
a
dreame
,
or
by
darke
in
the
nighte

(
albeit
in
suche
cases
the
LORDE
also
imprinted

of
them
,
to

by

but
in
the
fayre
and
broade
daye
lighte
,
is
sette
downe
to
declare
,
that
the
Lorde
dyd
neither
mocke
Cornelius
,
nor
blinde
his
eies
by
casting
a
mist
before
them
as
Iugglers
and
other
false
merchauntes
to
deceiue
withall
vse
to
doe
,
but
euidently
&
plainly
dealte
with
him
,
in
suche
sorte
,
that
he
might
easilye
perceyue
that
hys
callyng
was
not
from
earth
,
but
from
heauen
,
not
from
man
,
but
from
God
,
whereby
also
to
his
great

,
he
might
sée
howe
mercifully
God
rewards
his
own

in
him
,
that
for
his
further
instruction
he
vsed
towardes
him
the
information
of
an
Angel.
We
learne
out
of
this
point
many
lessons
.
Lorde
nowe
let
thy
seruaunt
departe
in
peace
,
for
mine
eyes
haue
seene
thy
saluation
.
He
causeth
Apollos
a
religious
and
a
learned
,
and
eloquent
Iew
,
knowing
no
more
but
the
Baptisme
of
Iohn
,
to
méete
with
Aquila
and
Priscilla
,
who
expounded
vnto
him
the
waye
of
the
Lorde
perfectly
.
This
our
Cornelius
a
deuout
man
,
Baudies
de
Gall
,
the
Amaudis
,
I
trow
it
be
,
the
great
Pallace
and
the
little
Pallace
of
pleasure
,
with
a
number
moe
of
suche
filthy
bookes
,
wherwyth
this
Churchyard
swarmeth
in
this
cleare
light
of
the
Gospell
:
if
we
shall
be
occupyed
in
vayne
,
wicked
,
and
vngodly
talke
,
so
far
off
shal
we
be
wyth
Cornelius
from
hauing
the
Angell
or
Peter
to
directe
vs
,
that
the
Deuil
of
hell
wil
associate
himselfe
vnto
vs
,
&
créepe
at
the
length
so
farre
into
our
hearts
,
that
he
wyl
roote
out
of
vs
al
care
of
vertue
and
godlinesse
,
and
make
vs
reioyce
in
our
owne
shame
,
that
we
may
be
the
more
fit
vessels
of
wrath
&
damnation
.
Hee
maketh
the
spirites
his
messengers
,
and
a
flaming
fire
his
ministers
.
Nay
how
greatly
are
we
bounde
to
prayse
our
God
,
before
whom
we
are
in
so
high
account
,
and
ouer
whome
he
is
so
careful
and
tender
,
that
he
hath
not
appointed
for
euery
one
his
seuerall
Angell
(
whiche
some
haue
presumed
to
teache
without
the
warraunt
of
the
worde
)
but
hath
giuen
charge
and
commandement
,
that
vpon
euery
particular
childe
of
hys
,
manye
Angels
shoulde
for
their
safegard
attende
and
wayte
.
For
he
shall
giue
his
Angels
charge
ouer
thee
,
to
keepe
thee
in
al
thy
wayes
.
And
to
Elizeus
seruant
were
shewed
many
firie
chariotes
in
a
readynesse
for
the
defence
of
his
master
.
Wherfore
letting
passe
this
heathenishe
forgerie
of
euery
man
hauing
two
Angels
,
let
vs
be
thankeful
vnto
God
for
this
inestimable
&
inspeakable
goodnesse
,
who
setteth
in
watche
for
the
protection
of
hys
Church
,
the
whole
army
and
host
of
heauenly
souldiours
,
and
as
best
pleaseth
his
endlesse
Wisedome
,
vseth
the
helpe
one
while
of
many
thousandes
,
and
another
while
of
one

,
for
the
safetie
and
defence
of
those

are

Thirdlie
,
we
haue
here
to
note
,
To
the
vnknowen
God
,
taketh
occasion
of
a
thing
familiar
vnto
the
gentiles
,
to
reason
with
them
of
the
true
worship
of
God
.
And
in
this
place
it
pleaseth
God
first
to
vse
in
the
calling
of
Cornelius
the
ministery
of
an
Angel
,
and
afterward
the
seruice
of
man
.
Where
out
we
learne
,
what
discretion
and
iudgemente
there
ought
to
be
,
in
those
that
are
teachers
of
others
,
to
imitate
and
folowe
this
example
of
God
,
Christe
,
and
his
Apostles
,
in
teaching
and
winning
of
men
vnto
hym
,
manye
times
to
applye
themselues
vnto
the
capacities
,
wittes
,
and
vnderstanding
of
their
hearers
and
by
things
acquainted
and
knowen
vnto
them
,
to
séeke
by
little
and
little
to
drawe
them
to
the
knowledge
of
things
darke
and
hidden
from
them
.
But
when
he
loked
on
him
,
hee
was
afrayde
,
and
sayde
,
what
is
it
Lorde
.
The
Angell
of
the
Lorde
was
sent
by
God
vnto
Cornelius
for
his
good
,
for
his
benefite
,
and
for
his
comfort
.
He
came
to
assure
him
,
that
God
in
mercye
had
regarde
vnto
him
,
that
he
had
hearde
his
prayers
,
and
remembred
his
almes
,
and
that
he
had
appointed
Peter
to
be
messenger
vnto
him
of
the
glad
tidings
of
saluation
.
Cornelius
all
thys
notwithstanding
albeit
,
he
were
a
man
that
feared
God
,
and
that
there
were
in
hym
a
great
and
vehement
zeale
in
religion
,
yet
he
is
abashed
and
apailed
,
he
trembleth
&
feareth
at
the
sight
of
Gods
messenger
,
which
is
a
token
of
the
weakenesse
of
man
his
nature
,
whiche
hauing
a
taste
of
the
maiestie
of
God
,
quiuereth
and
quaketh
at
his
presence
,
considering
the
highnesse
and
excellencie
of
the
same
,
and
his
own
lownesse
and
vnworthynesse
,
weying
what
loue
,
and
what
reuerence
,
it
oweth
vnto
God
,
what
perfectnesse
and
purenesse
he
requireth
at
our
hand
in
his
law
,
and
what
imperfection
and
vnpurenesse
there
remaineth
in
vs
,
and
how
little
abilitie
to
performe
that
which
he
commandeth
,
and
therefore
worthyly
it
humbleth
it selfe
with
feare
and
reuerence
before
his
maiestie
.
First
we
learn
out
of
this
place
,
Alas
my
Lorde
God
:
for
bycause
I
haue
seene
an
Angell
of
the
Lorde
face
to
face
,
I
shall
die
.
Manoah
when
the
Angell
brought
him
tydings
of
the
byrth
of
Sampson
,
We
shal
surely
die
,
bicause
we
haue
seene
God
.
Daniel
was
stryken
into
such
a
maruellous
feare
at
the
sight
of
the
Angell
,
that
as
he
sayth
hymselfe
,
there
remayned
no
strength
in
hym
:
For
his
strengthe
in
him
was
turned
into
corruption
,
and
he
retained
no
power
.
Zacharie
feared
when
the
Angell
declared
vnto
him
,
the
byrth
of
Iohn
the
Baptisse
:
so
did
Marie
at
the
vision
of
the
Angel
,
certifying
hir
,
that
she
shoulde
beare
Christe
.
The
shepherds
were
sore
afrayd
when
they
saw
the
Angel
bringing
them
newes
that
Christ
was
borne
The
thrée
Disciples
in
mount
Thabor
,

Secondly
,
Heare
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
all
ye
that
tremble
at
his
word
.
And
againe
:
To
him
will
I
loke
,
euen
to
him
,
that
is
pore
,
and
of
a
contrite
spirite
,
and
trembleth
at
my
words
.
But
what
is
the
cause
(
beloued
)
that
at
this
day
the
word
of
the
Lord
worketh
not
in
vs
this
effect
of
reuerence
,
trembling
and
feare
?
forsooth
,
bicause
we
fasten
our
eyes
vpon
the
person
that
speaketh
,
with
the
basenesse
of
whome
we
are
nothyng
moued
,
wheras
if
we
would
,
as
indeede
we
ought
,
consider
that
it
is
GOD
whiche
speaketh
vnto
vs
in
the
person
of
man
,
then
would
be
driuen
into
this
sluggishe
nature
of
ours
,
suche
a
feare
and
reuerence
of
the
word
of
God
,
as
ought
to
be
in
vs
,
which
I
pray
God
graunt
vnto
vs
.
what
is
the
Lord
?
Wheras
the
drossie
translation
whiche
goeth
vnder
the
name
of
Ierom
,
&
the
common
translation
,
&
is
the
Pope
his
owne
dearling
,
hath
,
who
is
it
Lord
?
Like
as
in
the
first
of
Samuel
,
and
third
chapter
,
it
hath
very
falsely
&
rediculously
,
that
Heli
hys
eyes
were
dimme
and
coulde
not
sée
the
candle
of
the
Lord
,
vntil
it
was
put
out
.
And
in
the
.15
.
of
the
first
to
the
Corinthes
,
clean
contrarie
vnto
the
truth
of
the
Gréek
text
,
which
sayth
,
we
shal
not
all
die
,
but
we
shall
all
be
changed
:
it
sayeth
,
we
shal
all
dye
,
but
shall
not
al
be
chaunged
:
besides
a
greate
many
moe
filthy
corruptions
whyche
haue
often
out
of
this
place
bene
shewed
to
be
in
it
,
that
you
mighte
learne
to
forsake
and
leaue
it
.
Al
whiche
errours
,
moste
of
them
shewed
them
by
vs
,
Glorie
be
to
the
father
and
to
the
sonne
,
and
to
the
holy
ghost
,
they
sing
daylye
,
Glorie
be
to
the
father
,
and
to
the
sonne
,
and
to
the
Diuell
.
Spiritui
paradyto
,
the
wicked
and
infamous
spirite
,
in
steade
of
spiritui
paraclêto
,
the
spirite
,
which
is
the
comforter
.
For
the
,
that
there
is
so
much
difference
betwéen
the
two
words
,
euery
boy
of
the
grammer
schole
can
tel
.
And
I
woulde
fayne
learne
of
some
Papist
,
that
holdeth
that
the
church
of
Rome
can
not
erre
,
whether
this
were
an
error
or
no
,
in
steade
of
the
holy
Ghost
to
pray
to
the
Diuell
.
And
bycause
I
were
loth
to
sustaine
their
ill
will
for
reporting
this
truth
of
them
,
let
it
for
me
,
rest
vpon
the
backe
of
him
where
I
haue
it
,
whych
is
,
Polidor
Vergil
,
a
man
of
their
own
,
who
in
hys
fifth
booke
and
thirtéenth
Chapter
of
the
finders
out
of
things
,
too
too
pitiously
(
poore
soule
)
lamenteth
,
&
complayneth
of
their
waywardnesse
,
that
being
tolde
of
so
horrible
a
faulte
,
will
not
leaue
nor
amende
it
.
Wherefore
leauing
hym
in
his
sorrowe
,
and
his
Popishe
Priestes
in
their
frowarde
errour
,
I
returne
to
my
purpose
,
and
note
vnto
you
,
that
al
the
copies
,
so
manye
as
I
euer
haue
séene
or
hearde
of
,
haue
thys
reading
,
What
is
it
Lord
?
so
that
the
other
,
Who
is
it
Lorde
?
being
such
as
any
that
in
the
Gréeke
tongue
can
set
the
Nominatiue
case
and
the
verbe
togither
,
might
easily
auoyde
,
procéedeth
of
wilfull
ignonoraunce
and
carelesse
negligence
,
and
darkeneth
also
the
meaning
of
the
place
,
for
whyche
cause
onely
I
note
it
.
Wheras
this
reading
,
What
is
it
Lord
?
argueth
that
Cornelius
his
minde
was
touched
with
a
feare
,
as
knowing
,
that
albeit
it
were
onelye
the
Angell
that
spake
vnto
him
,
yet
he
had
indéede
to
do
with
God
,
whose
onelye
messenger
the
Angel
was
.
Therefore
,
thus
saying
,
he
sheweth
forth
a
readie
and
willing
minde
,
euen
before
he
knoweth
,
to
doe
whatsoeuer
the
Lorde
shoulde
commaunde
hym
:
whereas
we
,
after
that
the
Lorde
hath
commaunded
and
commaunded
againe
,
straine
courtesie
,
and
take
leysure
to
performe
his
wil
,
communing
with
fleshe
and
bloude
,
whether
it
be
good
pollicie
or
no
,
to
doe
as
the
Lord
biddeth
,
&
whether
it
maye
not
procure
vs
peril
and
trouble
.
But
all
you
that
feare
the
Lord
saye
with
Cornelius
,
What
is
it
Lorde
?
and
by
thy
mercifull
assistaunce
,
wée
wil
performe
and
doe
it
.
There
followeth
the
thirde
braunche
of
this
second
generall
,
namely
,
Thy
prayers
,
and
thine
almes
are
come
vp
into
remembrance
before
God
.
Now
therefore
send
men
to
Ioppa
,
and
call
for
Simon
,
whose
surname
is
Peter
.
He
lodgeth
with
one
Simon
a
Tanner
,
whose
house
is
by
the
Sea
side
,
he
shal
tell
thee
what
thou
oughtest
to
doe
.
These
wordes
,
as
in
the
beginning
I
declared
,
containe
both
a
comforte
,
and
a
commandement
vnto
Cornelius
,
which
both
,
with
their
doctrines
,
shal
be
handled
in
order
:
firste
the
comforte
,
bycause
it
is
firste
mentioned
,
after
this
maner
:
Thy
prayers
and
almes
are
come
vp
into
remembraunce
before
God
.
Of
these
wordes
we
maye
not
gather
,
that
GOD
,
who
séeth
all
thinges
,
and
before
whose
eies
are
manifeste
those
thinges
whiche
are
done
in
greatest
secret
,
doth
at
any
time
forget
the
doings
of
men
,
but
the
holye
Ghost
in
this
place
,
as
in
manye
other
,
speaketh
of
God
as
of
a
manne
,
for
our
better
vnderstanding
.
And
for
bicause
if
God
deferre
at
the
firste
to
graunt
our
requestes
,
our
dul
nature
conceiueth
no
better
of
him
,
than
of
a
man
that
is
deafe
,
therefore
,
that
Cornelius
might
knowe
,
that
his
praiers
were
hearde
,
and
hys
almes
déedes
accepted
,
the
Angell
assureth
him
,
that
GOD
hathe
in
remembraunce
both
the
one
and
the
other
,
that
is
,
that
God
will
reward
them
with
the
full
lighte
and
knowledge
of
his
Gospel
.
And
so
in
manye
other
places
,
doth
the
worde
Remember
,
béeyng
spoken
of
the
dealing
of
God
towardes
man
,
carrie
with
it
a
signification
of
rewarde
.
So
God
remembred
Noah
,
and
the
floude
ceased
:
he
remembred
Abraham
,
and
deliuered
his
kinsman
Lot
out
of
Sodom
:
he
remembred
Rachell
,
and
gaue
hir
children
:
he
remembred
his
promisse
,
and
deliuered
the
children
of
Israell
oute
of
Egipte
.
So
we
reade
that
the
thiefe
on
the
Crosse
saide
vnto
Christe
:
Lorde
remember
me
when
thou
commeste
into
thy
Kingdome
,
and
he
aunswereth
:
this
day
shalte
thou
be
with
me
in
Paradise
.
And
in
the
Psalme
it
is
saide
,
He
remembred
vs
in
oure
humilitie
,
and
then
followeth
,
he
redeemed
vs
.
And
therfore
you
shall
finde
,
that
Dauid
often
prayeth
to
the
LORDE
,
to
remember
hym
.
In
thys
place
therefore
Gods
remembraunce
of
the
prayers
and
almes
déeds
of
Cornelius
,
teacheth
him
,
that
he
will
reward
them
,
not
for
their
worthinesse
,
but
of
his
mercie
.
For
vnto
him
that
hath
,
shall
be
more
giuen
,
and
the
faithfull
seruaunte
that
is
trustie
in
few
thinges
,
and
putteth
oute
his
maisters
talent
vnto
gaine
,
shall
be
sette
ouer
manye
thinges
,
and
be
made
Ruler
ouer
manye
Cityes
,
like
as
in
this
place
Cornelius
,
bicause
God
hearde
his
prayers
,
and
accepteth
of
his
almes
,
he
directeth
hym
vnto
Peter
,
for
full
instruction
of
the
Gospell
,
and
knowledge
of
Saluation
.
2
Secondly
,
for
asmuche
as
it
is
here
saide
,
that
Cornelius
his
prayers
and
almes
déedes
were
accepted
before
God
,
it
muste
néedes
followe
,
that
Cornelius
had
faith
.
For
whatsoeuer
is
not
of
faith
is
sinne
.
And
without
faith
it
is
impossible
to
please
God
.
It
were
blasphemy
to
affirme
,
that
GOD
is
delighted
with
sin
,
but
God
is
delighted
with
the
prayer
and
almes
of
Cornelius
:
if
therefore
they
were
not
sinne
,
then
were
they
done
in
faith
,
and
therefore
Cornelius
hadde
nowe
alreadie
faith
.
God
is
saide
to
bée
wel
pleased
with
them
,
it
followeth
therfore
inuincibly
,
that
they
procéeded
of
Faith.
Cornelius
therefore
hadde
faith
,
yea
,
and
also
faith
in
Christe
,
for
without
Christe
,
if
we
beholde
the
bare
Maiestie
of
God
,
we
shal
be
so
farre
off
from
receiuing
any
comforte
,
or
féeling
anye
taste
of
his
goodnesse
,
that
we
shall
haue
oure
eies
dazeled
with
the
brightenesse
thereof
,
and
oure selues
ouer-whelmed
with
the
glorie
of
the
same
.
And
I
praye
you
,
can
it
be
,
that
without
Christe
,
Cornelius
coulde
be
enlightned
with
the
spirite
of
Christe
,
I
meane
the
Spirite
of
regeneration
,
or
newe
birth
?
manifeste
and
euident
tokens
,
whereof
are
his
religion
and
feare
of
God
.
For
God
chalengeth
in
Ezechiel
this
honoure
vnto
himselfe
,
3
Thirdly
,
wée
maye
gather
of
the
nature
of
contraries
,
that
as
God
rewardeth
the
religion
,
feare
of
God
,
godlye
bringing
vppe
of
his
houshold
,
prayer
,
and
almes
déedes
of
Cornelius
,
with
more
plentifull
abundaunce
of
spirituall
giftes
and
knowledge
of
his
Gospell
(
as
he
vseth
in
his
children
daily
,
by
a
newe
and
verye
sensible
increase
,
to
multiplye
his
graces
,
as
it
were
by
degrées
,
vntill
he
bring
them
to
perfection
)
so
the
little
store
of
heauenly
vertues
,
that
this
day
is
to
be
founde
amongest
vs
,
oure
slownesse
in
prayer
,
oure
slackenesse
in
the
déedes
of
Charitie
,
oure
vnwillingnesse
to
laboure
for
the
edifying
one
of
an
other
,
our
wearinesse
in
hearing
the
word
of
God
,
and
our
lesse
profiting
after
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
,
are
manifest
tokens
of
Gods
iuste
reuenge
of
oure
greate
vnthankefulnesse
,
so
that
if
wée
shall
still
goe
on
in
hiding
in
the
ground
oure
Maisters
talent
,
it
shall
in
the
end
be
taken
from
vs
,
and
giuen
vnto
those
that
haue
vsed
their
talentes
to
gaine
,
and
we
for
oure
deseruings
be
caste
out
into
vtter
darkenesse
.
1
You
haue
firste
to
note
,
So
,
when
our
first
Parentes
Adam
&
Eue
had
hidden
themselues
for
shame
of
their
transgression
among
the
trées
of
the
garden
,
GOD
séeketh
and
findeth
them
oute
,
and
assureth
them
of
comfort
in
the
promised
séede
.
So
he
calleth
Abraham
out
of
Vr
of
the
Chaldeis
,
when
he
wallowed
in
Idolatrie
.
Lot
he
draweth
(
as
it
were
)
violently
,
and
against
hys
will
,
out
of
the
destruction
of
Sodom
.
Dauid
sléeping
almost
a
whole
yere
in
securitie
,
and
béeing
touched
with
no
remorse
of
hys
filthye
adulterie
,
and
other
haynous
offences
,
he
awaketh
,
by
his
Prophet
Nathan
.
Paule
he
conuerteth
in
the
middest
of
his
heate
,
and
rage
of
persecution
,
going
to
Damascus
.
And
Peter
after
thrice
deniall
and
forswearing
him
,
he
friendly
admonisheth
of
his
faulte
and
fall
,
by
a
looke
.
But
in
this
case
of
Cornelius
,
GOD
in
letting
hym
tarrye
at
home
,
and
causing
Peter
to
come
vnto
him
,
had
(
no
doubt
)
a
further
respecte
,
than
vnto
Cornelius
his
owne
ease
,
and
that
was
,
that
all
his
whole
housholde
,
togither
wyth
a
greate
manye
of
hys
friendes
and
acquaintaunce
,
might
receiue
the
knowledge
of
the
Gospel
,
and
the
glad
tidings
of
saluation
,
as
well
as
hée
.
For
as
he
is
the
GOD
of
all
,
so
woulde
hée
as
well
haue
those
that
be
seruaunts
,
saued
,
as
those
that
be
Maisters
,
of
whose
instruction
also
,
if
wée
be
carelesse
,
wée
haue
one
daye
an
heauye
accoumptes
and
reckenyng
to
make
for
it
.
2
Secondlye
,
in
that
GOD
instructeth
not
Cornelius
by
himselfe
,
nor
by
the
Angell
,
whiche
bothe
he
coulde
haue
done
,
but
appointeth
hym
ouer
vnto
Peter
,
as
before
hée
dyd
Paule
vnto
Ananias
.
And
the
Chamberlayne
of
the
Quéene
of
the
Ethiopians
vnto
Philippe
:
Wée
sée
here
a
plaine
and
euident
place
for
the
confirmation
of
the
outwarde
preaching
of
the
word
,
and
the
ministerie
of
the
Churche
,
for
in
as
muche
as
,
Faith
commeth
by
hearing
,
and
hearing
by
the
worde
of
GOD
,
and
none
can
preache
,
vnlesse
he
be
sent
:
whosoeuer
he
be
,
that
looking
for
other
reuelations
,
meanes
,
and
wayes
,
despiseth
and
contemneth
the
worde
preached
by
the
mouth
and
ministerie
of
man
,
despiseth
the
meanes
which
GOD
hathe
ordained
for
his
saluation
,
and
to
worke
in
him
faith
by
,
and
sheweth
him selfe
plainely
to
be
none
of
Christes
disciples
,
nor
to
haue
care
to
be
lightened
with
the
light
of
the
heauenly
wisedome
,
in
as
muche
as
he
refuseth
the
voice
of
man
,
whiche
CHRIST
vseth
as
an
instrument
,
vnto
the
whyche
,
hée
will
haue
oure
faith
tyed
:
wherefore
hée
will
not
take
at
the
handes
of
anye
man
,
the
contempte
of
this
order
,
that
I
speake
not
with
what
horrible
examamples
GOD
hathe
punished
the
bold
and
wicked
attemptes
,
and
practises
of
the
Anabaptistes
,
and
Enthusiaste
Heretikes
of
oure
tymes
,
that
casting
aside
the
preaching
of
the
worde
,
will
haue
all
done
by
Reuelations
.
GOD
graunt
,
that
the
wonderfull
errours
and
wickednesses
,
whiche
they
haue
fallen
into
,
maye
be
admonitions
vnto
vs
,
to
make
much
of
Gods
constitutions
and
ordinances
.
3
Thirdly
,
as
this
place
commendeth
the
dignitie
of
the
preching
of
the
word
,
so
also
,
in
that
the
Angell
reporteth
of
Peter
vnto
Cornelius
,
that
he
shold
teach
him
what
to
doe
,
it
also
instructeth
vs
what
maner
of
person
he
ought
to
be
,
which
is
to
be
admitted
into
this
high
&
honorable
function
of
the
ministerie
,
namely
,
suche
a
one
,
as
can
tel
Cornelius
what
to
do
for
to
attaine
vnto
saluation
,
that
is
,
suche
a
one
,
as
is
able
to
teach
them
of
his
cure
&
charge
their
dueties
vnto
the
Lord
:
for
Paule
vnto
Titus
,
he
wil
not
haue
one
made
a
Minister
,
whiche
is
a
yong
Scholler
,
least
he
being
puffed
vp
,
fall
into
the
condemnation
of
the
Diuel
.
What
woful
daies
therfore
(
beloued
)
are
these
dayes
of
ours
,
in
whiche
thousands
of
our
Ministers
,
are
not
onely
not
yong
schollers
,
but
also
no
schollers
at
al
:
not
only
not
able
to
exhort
with
wholsome
doctrine
,
but
also
not
to
reade
distinctly
and
plainely
,
suche
as
in
whome
there
is
no
manner
of
worthinesse
,
that
ought
to
be
in
a
Minister
,
but
suche
as
their
gréedie
Latrones
,
Patrones
I
woulde
saye
,
allowe
of
,
in
giuing
them
liuing
,
I
meane
their
worthy
paying
for
it
,
and
then
a
Quare
impedit
,
againste
the
Bishop
,
that
shall
deny
him
institution
.
And
hereof
commeth
it
to
passe
,
that
oure
Churches
are
full
of
Ieroboams
Priests
,
I
meane
the
very
refuse
of
the
people
,
suche
as
in
their
conscience
abhorre
the
ministerie
,
and
take
it
onely
,
bicause
they
know
no
other
way
to
liue
,
being
manye
of
them
vnméete
to
haue
the
charge
of
oure
shooes
,
muche
lesse
to
be
trusted
with
the
cure
of
oure
soules
.
The
Lorde
graunte
vnto
those
,
whome
it
concerneth
to
redresse
this
foule
abuse
,
bowels
of
pitie
and
compassion
,
with
our
Sauioure
Christe
to
yearne
at
the
greate
ignoraunce
of
the
people
in
the
Countrie
,
for
lacke
of
able
teachers
:
in
somuche
,
that
in
some
Parishes
it
were
no
hard
matter
to
finde
many
,
that
otherwise
than
after
the
manner
of
Parats
mumbling
vp
the
words
of
their
beliefe
without
all
vnderstanding
,
are
not
able
to
tell
whether
there
be
anye
GOD
or
Christ
,
or
no.
And
you
(
deare
brethren
)
of
this
Citie
,
whom
God
hath
blessed
with
stoare
of
good
teachers
,
whose
number
I
pray
to
be
increased
dayly
:
pray
for
vs
of
the
countrey
,
that
the
harueste
wyth
vs
being
maruellous
great
,
&
the
labourers
wonderful
fewe
,
it
would
please
the
Lord
of
the
haruest
to
thrust
out
into
his
haruest
painfull
labourers
and
faithfull
Peters
in
great
numbers
,
that
may
be
able
to
teach
Cornelius
what
to
do
.
For
lacke
of
instructions
in
manye
places
of
theyr
dueties
vnto
God
,
they
clean
forget
their
dueties
vnto
man
,
yea
and
manye
times
take
weapon
againste
their
lawfull
and
Godlye
Prince
,
whyche
if
they
were
well
instructed
in
the
word
of
the
Lord
▪
there
is
very
good
hope
,
they
would
feare
to
do
.
4
Fourthlye
,
where
it
is
sayde
that
Cornelius
should
heare
of
Peter
at
Ioppa
at
the
house
of
one
Simon
a
Tanner
,
we
do
learne
of
what
sortes
of
men
God
commonly
vseth
to
gather
his
Churche
,
namely
of
the
meanest
and
lowest
estate
of
the
people
,
for
the
most
parte
.
For
not
many
wise
,
not
manye
strong
,
not
many
noble
according
to
the
fleshe
.
And
God
hath
chosen
the
folish
,
the
weak
,
the
despised
,
to
confound
the
wise
,
the
strong
,
and
the
esteemed
.
Simon
the
Tanner
must
entertain
Peter
,
and
the
poore
Shunamite
kéepe
a
chamber
for
Elizeus
:
and
the
widowe
of
Sareptha
in
the
time
of
famine
,
giue
a
little
bread
vnto
Elias
:
Matthewe
the
publican
must
bid
Christ
,
yea
,
many
times
the
caues
of
Obadiah
muste
hide
the
Prophetes
of
the
Lorde
by
fiftye
and
fiftye
,
when
as
the
greate
men
of
Ioppa
,
contemne
Peter
:
when
Ahaziah
by
hys
Captain
ouer
fiftie
wil
set
Elias
before
hym
,
if
he
tel
him
he
shall
die
:
when
Achab
wyll
séeke
ouer
all
realmes
and
countries
for
the
life
of
Elias
,
when
Herode
vnder
the
pretence
of
worship
wyll
haue
Christe
diligentlye
soughte
after
,
that
he
maye
slaye
him
:
when
as
Iesabell
will
kill
the
Prophetes
of
the
Lord
,
and
saue
aliue
the
Priestes
of
Baal
.
But
God
hath
hadde
at
all
times
,
and
in
all
places
,
and
hath
at
this
time
,
and
in
this
land
,
many
of
the
greate
men
,
that
make
accountes
of
Peter
,
and
the
Lord
multiplye
them
continuallye
for
his
Christes
sake
,
and
graunt
that
they
maye
all
haue
God
his
faithfull
and
paineful
ministers
and
preachers
in
a
reuerent
regarde
and
good
accounte
.
For
it
is
to
little
purpose
to
féede
vs
wyth
liuyng
,
and
suffer
vs
of
euerye
one
to
be
contemned
,
whyche
wyll
one
daye
be
the
ruine
and
decay
of
the
Churche
.
Besides
that
,
it
is
a
greate
token
in
what
person
soeuer
,
and
of
what
countenaunce
soeuer
,
that
doeth
not
wyth
Simon
the
Tanner
make
muche
of
Peter
,
that
there
is
in
hym
little
feare
of
GOD
.
Nay
it
is
playnelie
set
downe
for
one
of
the
properties
that
muste
bée
in
hym
that
shal
dwell
in
the
LORDES
Tabernacle
and
reste
on
his
holye
hyll
,
that
he
must
not
onelye
estéeme
well
of
the
Preachers
,
but
of
all
other
the
Godlye
whatsoeuer
.
In
whose
eyes
(
sayeth
the
Psalmist
)
a
vile
person
is
contemned
,
but
he
honoureth
them
that
feare
the
Lord.
Those
therfore
that
do
the
cleane
contrarie
,
that
is
,
secretly
maintain
wicked
Papistes
,
and
make
accountes
of
bad
and
lewde
persons
,
contemning
the
godly
,
and
preachers
of
the
Lord
,
I
had
rather
leaue
it
to
your
owne
consideration
,
than
my selfe
declare
,
in
whose
Tabernacle
they
shall
dwell
,
and
on
whose
hill
they
shall
rest
.
