A
Christal
Glas
for
christian
women
:
wherein
,
they
may
see
a
most
wonderfull
and
rare
example
,
of
a
right
vertuous
life
and
Christian
death
:
as
by
the
discourse
following
,
may
appeare
.
CAlling
to
remembrance
(
most
Christian
reader
)
the
finall
end
of
mans
creation
,
which
is
to
glorifie
God
,
and
to
edifie
one
another
in
the
way
of
true
godlinesse
,
I
thought
it
my
dutie
aswel
in
respect
of
the
one
,
as
in
regarde
of
the
other
,
to
publish
this
rare
and
wonderfull
example
of
the
vertuous
life
,
and
Christian
death
of
Mistresse
Katherine
Stubbes
,
who
whilest
shee
liued
,
was
a
Myrrour
of
womanhood
,
and
now
being
dead
,
is
a
perfect
patterne
of
true
Christianitie
.
She
was
descended
of
honest
and
wealthie
parents
.
Her
father
had
borne
diuerse
offices
of
worship
in
his
companie
,
Her
Parentag●
amongest
whom
he
liued
in
good
account
,
credit
&
estimation
all
his
daies
:
he
was
zealous
in
the
truth
,
and
of
a
sound
religion
.
Her
mother
was
a
Dutch
woman
,
both
discreete
and
wise
,
of
singular
good
grace
&
modestie
:
and
which
did
most
of
all
adorne
her
,
shee
was
both
religious
,
and
also
zealous
.
This
couple
liuing
together
in
the
Citie
of
London
certaine
yeares
,
it
pleased
God
to
blesse
them
with
Children
,
of
whom
this
Katherine
was
yongest
saue
one
.
But
as
she
was
yongest
saue
one
by
course
of
nature
:
so
was
she
not
inferiour
to
any
of
the
rest
,
or
rather
farre
excelled
them
all
without
comparison
by
many
degrees
,
in
the
induments
&
qualities
of
the
mind
.
At
xv
.
yeares
of
age
(
her
father
being
dead
)
her
mother
bestowed
her
in
mariage
to
one
Maister
Philip
Stubbes
,
Her
mariage
.
with
whom
she
liued
foure
yeares
&
almost
a
halfe
,
very
honestly
and
godly
,
with
rare
commendations
of
all
that
knew
her
,
as
wel
for
her
singular
wisdom
,
as
also
for
her
modesty
,
courtesie
,
gentlenes
affability
&
good
gouernment
.
And
aboue
al
,
for
her
feruent
zeale
which
she
bare
to
the
truth
,
wherein
she
seemed
to
surpasse
many
:
in
so
much
,
as
if
she
chanced
at
any
time
to
be
in
place
where
either
Papists
,
or
Atheists
were
,
and
heard
them
talke
of
Religion
,
of
what
countenaunce
or
credit
soeuer
they
seemed
to
be
,
she
would
not
yeeld
a
iote
,
nor
giue
place
vnto
them
at
al
,
but
would
most
mightily
iustifie
the
truth
of
God
,
agaynst
their
blasphemous
vntruths
,
and
conuince
them
,
yea
,
&
confound
them
by
the
testimonies
of
the
word
of
God
.
Her
godly
●eale
.
Which
thing
how
could
it
bee
otherwise
?
for
her
whole
heart
was
bent
to
seeke
the
Lord
,
her
whole
delight
was
to
be
conuersant
in
the
scriptures
,
&
to
meditate
vpon
them
day
and
night
:
in
so
much
that
you
could
seldome
or
neuer
haue
come
into
her
house
,
and
haue
found
her
without
a
bible
,
or
some
other
good
booke
in
her
hands
.
And
when
she
was
not
reading
,
she
would
spend
the
time
in
conferring
,
talking
and
reasoning
with
her
busband
of
the
worde
of
God
,
and
of
religion
:
asking
him
,
what
is
the
sense
of
this
place
,
and
what
is
the
sense
of
that
?
How
expound
you
this
place
,
and
how
expound
you
that
?
what
obserue
you
of
this
place
,
and
what
obserue
you
of
that
?
so
that
she
seemed
to
be
as
it
were
,
Her
loue
of
●he
word
of
God
.
rauished
with
the
same
spirit
that
Dauid
was
,
when
he
said
:
The
zeale
of
thy
house
hath
eaten
me
vp
.
She
followed
the
commaundement
of
our
sauiour
Christ
,
who
biddeth
vs
to
search
the
scriptures
,
for
in
them
ye
hope
to
haue
eternall
life
.
She
obeyed
the
commandement
of
the
Apostle
,
who
biddeth
women
to
bee
silent
,
and
to
learne
of
their
husbandes
at
home
.
She
would
suffer
no
disorder
or
abuse
in
her
house
,
to
be
either
vnreproued
,
Her
gentlenesse
.
or
vnreformed
.
And
so
gentle
was
she
&
curteous
of
nature
,
that
she
was
neuer
heard
to
giue
any
the
lie
in
all
her
life
,
nor
so
much
as
to
(
thou
)
any
in
anger
.
She
was
neuer
knowne
to
fall
out
with
any
of
her
neighbours
,
nor
with
the
least
child
that
liued
,
much
lesse
to
scold
or
brawle
,
as
many
will
now
a
daies
for
euery
trifle
,
or
rather
for
no
cause
at
al
:
&
so
solitary
was
she
giuen
,
that
she
would
verie
seldome
or
neuer
,
&
that
not
without
great
constraint
(
&
than
not
neither
,
except
her
husband
were
in
companie
)
goe
abroad
with
any
,
either
to
banquet
or
feast
,
to
gossip
or
make
merry
(
as
they
tearme
it
)
in
so
much
that
she
hath
beene
noted
to
do
it
in
contempt
and
disdaine
of
others
.
When
her
husband
was
abroad
in
London
,
or
elsewhere
,
there
was
not
the
dearest
friend
she
had
in
the
world
that
could
get
her
abroad
to
dinner
or
supper
,
or
to
any
disports
,
plaies
,
enterludes
,
or
pastimes
whatsoeuer
:
neither
was
shee
giuen
to
pamper
her
bodie
with
delicate
meates
,
wines
,
or
strong
drinkes
,
but
rather
refrained
them
altogether
,
saying
,
that
we
should
eate
to
liue
,
and
not
liue
to
eat
.
And
as
shee
excelled
in
the
gift
of
sobrietie
,
so
shee
surpassed
in
the
vertue
of
humilitie
.
For
it
is
well
knowne
to
diuers
yet
liuing
,
that
she
vtterly
abhorred
all
kinde
of
pride
both
in
apparell
,
and
otherwise
.
She
could
neuer
abide
to
heare
any
filthy
or
vnseemly
talke
of
scurrilitie
,
bawdrie
or
vncleannes
,
neither
swearing
or
blaspheming
,
cursing
or
banning
,
but
woulde
reprooue
them
sharpely
,
shewing
them
the
vengeaunce
of
GOD
due
for
such
deserts
.
And
which
is
more
,
there
was
neuer
one
filthie
,
vncleane
,
vndecent
,
or
vnseemely
word
heard
to
come
forth
of
her
mouth
,
nor
euer
once
to
curse
or
ban
,
to
swear
,
or
blaspheme
God
any
maner
of
way
:
but
alwayes
her
speaches
were
such
,
as
both
might
glorifie
God
,
Her
integ●●●tie
of
life
.
and
minister
grace
to
the
hearers
,
as
the
Apostle
speaketh
.
And
for
her
conuersation
,
there
was
neuer
any
man
or
woman
that
euer
opened
their
mouthes
against
her
,
or
that
euer
either
did
or
could
once
accuse
her
of
the
least
shadow
of
dishonestie
,
so
continently
she
liued
,
and
so
circumspectly
she
walked
,
eschuing
euen
the
very
outward
appearance
or
shewe
of
euill
.
Againe
,
for
true
loue
and
loyaltie
to
her
husband
,
&
his
friends
,
she
was
(
let
me
speake
it
without
offence
)
I
thinke
,
the
rarest
Paragon
in
the
world
:
for
she
was
so
far
of
from
disswading
her
husband
to
be
beneficiall
to
his
friends
,
that
she
wold
rather
perswade
him
to
be
more
beneficial
to
them
.
If
she
saw
her
husband
merry
,
then
she
was
merry
:
if
he
were
sad
,
she
was
sad
:
Her
demea●nour
towar●
her
husban●
▪
if
he
were
heauy
or
passionate
,
she
would
endeuour
to
make
him
glad
:
if
hee
were
angry
,
she
would
quickly
please
him
,
so
wisely
shee
demeaned
her selfe
towards
him
.
She
would
neuer
contrarie
him
in
any
thing
,
but
by
wise
counsaile
,
and
sage
aduice
,
with
all
humilitie
,
&
submission
,
seeke
to
perswade
him
.
And
so
little
giuen
was
she
to
this
world
,
that
some
of
her
neighbours
maruailing
why
shee
was
no
more
carefull
of
it
,
would
aske
her
sometimes
saying
:
Mistres
Stubbes
,
why
are
you
no
more
carefull
for
the
things
of
this
lyfe
,
but
sit
alwayes
poaring
vppon
a
Booke
,
and
reading
?
to
whom
she
would
answere
:
if
I
should
be
a
friend
vnto
this
world
,
I
should
be
an
enemie
to
GOD
:
Her
little
〈◊〉
of
the
worl●
▪
for
GOD
and
the
world
are
two
contraries
.
Iohn
biddeth
mee
,
loue
not
the
worlde
,
nor
anie
thing
in
the
worlde
:
affirming
,
that
if
I
loue
the
worlde
,
the
loue
of
the
father
is
not
in
mee
.
Againe
,
Christ
biddeth
mee
,
first
seeke
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
and
the
righteousnesse
thereof
,
and
then
all
these
worldly
things
shall
be
giuen
to
me
.
Godlines
is
great
riches
,
if
a
man
be
content
with
that
that
he
hath
.
I
haue
chosen
with
good
Mary
in
the
10.
of
Luke
,
the
better
part
,
which
shall
neuer
be
taken
from
me
.
Gods
treasure
(
she
would
say
)
is
neuer
drawne
drie
.
I
haue
inough
in
this
life
,
God
make
mee
thankeful
,
and
I
knowe
I
haue
but
a
short
time
to
liue
here
,
and
it
standeth
me
vpon
to
haue
regard
to
my
saluation
in
the
life
to
come
.
Thus
,
the
godly
yong
Gentlewoman
held
on
her
course
three
or
four
yeares
after
she
was
maried
:
at
which
time
it
pleased
God
that
she
conceiued
with
a
man
Childe
:
after
which
conception
she
would
say
to
her
husbande
,
and
many
other
her
good
neighbours
and
friendes
yet
liuing
,
●er
prophesie
〈◊〉
her
death
.
not
once
,
nor
twise
but
many
times
,
that
she
should
neuer
beare
more
Children
:
that
,
that
child
should
be
her
death
,
&
that
she
should
liue
but
to
bring
that
child
into
the
world
.
Which
thing
(
no
doubt
)
was
reuealed
vnto
her
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
for
according
to
her
prophecie
so
it
came
to
passe
.
The
time
of
her
account
being
come
,
she
was
deliuered
of
a
goodly
man
childe
,
with
as
much
speede
,
and
as
safely
in
all
womens
iudgements
,
as
any
could
be
.
And
after
her
deliuerie
,
she
grew
so
strong
,
that
she
was
able
within
foure
or
fiue
dayes
to
sit
vp
in
her
bed
,
and
to
walke
vp
and
downe
her
chamber
,
and
within
a
fortnight
to
goe
abroad
in
the
house
,
●er
deliuery
of
●●ilde
.
beeing
throughly
well
,
and
past
all
daunger
as
euerie
one
thought
.
But
presently
vpon
this
so
sodaine
recouerie
,
it
pleased
God
to
visite
her
againe
,
with
an
extreame
hot
and
burning
quotidian
Ague
,
in
which
sickenesse
she
languished
for
the
space
of
sixe
weekes
,
or
there
abouts
.
During
all
which
time
,
she
was
neuer
seene
,
nor
perceyued
to
sleepe
one
houre
together
,
neither
night
nor
day
,
and
yet
the
Lord
kept
her
(
which
was
miraculous
)
in
her
perfect
vnderstanding
,
sense
,
and
memorie
,
to
the
last
breath
,
praised
be
his
holy
name
therfore
.
In
all
her
sicknes
,
●er
sicknes
.
which
was
both
long
and
grieuous
,
shee
neuer
shewed
any
signe
of
discontentment
,
or
of
impatiencie
:
neither
was
there
euer
heard
one
worde
come
forth
of
her
mouth
,
sounding
either
of
desperation
,
or
infidelitie
:
of
mistrust
,
or
distrust
,
or
of
any
doubting
or
wauering
,
but
alwayes
remayned
faithfull
and
resolute
in
her
God
.
And
so
desirous
was
she
to
be
with
the
Lord
,
that
these
golden
sentences
were
neuer
out
of
her
mouth
.
I
desire
to
be
dissolued
,
and
to
bee
with
Christ
.
And
,
Her
desire
to
be
with
God
▪
oh
miserable
wretch
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliuer
mee
from
this
bodie
subiect
to
sinne
?
Come
quickly
Lord
Iesus
,
come
quickly
.
Like
as
the
hart
desireth
the
water
springs
,
so
dooth
my
soule
thirst
after
thee
,
O
God
.
I
had
rather
bee
a
doorekeeper
in
the
house
of
my
God
,
then
to
dwell
in
the
tents
of
the
wicked
:
with
many
other
heauenly
sentences
,
which
(
least
I
should
seeme
tedious
)
I
willingly
omit
.
She
would
alwayes
pray
in
her
sicknes
absolutely
,
that
God
would
take
her
out
of
this
miserable
world
:
and
when
her
husband
and
others
would
desire
her
to
pray
for
health
,
if
it
were
the
will
of
God
:
She
would
answer
,
I
beseech
you
pray
not
that
I
should
liue
,
for
I
thinke
it
long
to
be
with
my
God
.
Christ
is
to
me
life
,
and
death
is
to
me
aduantage
.
I
cannot
enter
into
life
but
by
death
,
&
therefore
is
death
the
doore
or
entrance
into
euerlasting
life
to
me
.
Her
absolute
prayer
for
death
.
I
know
and
am
certainely
perswaded
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
that
the
sentence
of
my
death
is
giuen
alredy
,
by
the
great
Iudge
,
in
the
court
or
parliament
of
heauen
,
that
I
shal
now
depart
out
of
this
life
:
and
therefore
pray
not
for
me
,
that
I
might
liue
here
,
but
pray
to
God
to
giue
me
strength
&
patience
,
to
perseuer
to
the
end
,
&
to
close
vp
mine
eies
in
a
iustifying
faith
in
the
blood
of
my
Christ
.
Somtimes
she
would
speake
very
softly
to
her self
,
&
sometimes
very
audibly
these
words
,
doubling
them
an
hundred
times
togither
.
Oh
my
good
God
,
why
not
now
?
Why
not
now
,
oh
my
good
God
?
I
am
redie
for
theee
,
I
am
prepared
,
oh
receiue
me
now
for
thy
Christs
sake
.
Oh
send
thy
messenger
death
to
fetch
me
,
send
thy
sergeant
to
arrest
me
,
thy
purseuant
to
attach
me
,
thy
herauld
to
summon
me
,
oh
send
thy
Iaylour
to
deliuer
my
soule
out
of
prison
,
for
my
body
is
nothing
else
but
a
stinking
prison
to
my
soule
.
Oh
send
thy
holy
Angels
to
conduct
my
soule
vnto
the
euerlasting
kingdome
of
heauen
.
Her
godly
meditation
.
Other
sometimes
she
would
lie
as
it
were
in
a
slumber
,
her
eyes
closed
,
and
her
lips
vttering
these
wordes
very
softly
to
her selfe
:
oh
my
sweet
Iesus
,
oh
my
loue
Iesus
,
why
not
now
?
sweet
Iesus
why
not
now
?
Oh
sweet
Iesus
,
pray
for
me
,
pray
for
me
,
sweete
Iesus
,
repeating
them
many
times
together
.
These
and
infinite
the
like
were
her
dayly
speeches
,
and
continuall
meditations
:
&
neuer
worser
word
was
there
heard
to
come
forth
of
her
mouth
during
all
the
time
of
hir
sickenesse
.
She
was
accustomed
many
times
as
she
lay
,
verie
suddenly
to
fall
into
a
sweet
smiling
,
and
sometimes
into
a
most
heartie
laughter
,
her
face
appearing
right
faire
,
redde
,
amiable
and
louely
:
and
her
countenance
seemed
as
though
she
greatly
reioyced
at
some
glorious
sight
.
Her
glorious
〈◊〉
.
And
when
her
husband
would
aske
her
why
she
smiled
and
laughed
so
:
shee
would
say
:
if
you
sawe
such
glorious
visions
,
and
heauenly
sightes
as
I
see
,
you
would
reioyce
and
laugh
with
me
:
for
I
see
a
vision
of
the
ioyes
of
heauen
,
and
the
glory
that
I
shal
go
too
:
and
I
see
infinite
millions
of
Angels
attendant
vpon
me
,
and
watching
ouer
me
,
readie
to
carie
my
soule
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
In
regard
whereof
,
she
was
willing
to
forsake
her selfe
,
her
husband
,
her
childe
and
all
the
world
besides
.
And
so
calling
for
her
child
,
which
the
Nurse
brought
vnto
her
,
she
tooke
it
in
her
armes
,
and
kissing
it
,
said
:
God
blesse
thee
my
sweete
babe
,
and
make
thee
an
heire
of
the
kingdome
of
heauen
:
and
kissing
it
againe
,
deliuered
it
to
the
nurse
,
with
these
wordes
to
her
husband
standing
by
.
Beloued
husband
,
I
bequeath
this
my
child
vnto
you
,
hee
is
no
longer
mine
,
Her
request
to
her
husbad
for
the
bringing
vp
of
his
childe

hee
is

and
yours
,
I

,
you
,
and
all

,
yea
and
mine
owne
selfe
,
and
esteeme

,
that
I
may
win

Christ
.
And
I
pray
you
sweet
husband
bring
vp
this
childe
in
good
letters
,
in
learning
and
discipline
,
and
aboue
all
things
,
see
that

brought
vp
and
instructed
in

exercise
of

The
childe
being
taken
away
,
shee
espied
a
little
Puppie
or
Bitch
,
(
which
in
her
life
time
she
loued
well
)
lying
vpon
her
bed
:
she
had
no
sooner
espied
her
,
but
she
beat
her
away
,
and
calling
her
husband
to
her
,
Her
hatred
to
worthly
sayd
:
Good
husband
,
you
and
I
haue
offended
God
grieuously
in
receiuing
this
bitch
many
a
time
into
our
bed
,
we
would
haue
beene
loth
to
haue
receiued
a
Christian
soule
,
purchased
with
the
precious
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
,
into
our
bed
,
and
to
haue
nourished
him
in
our
bosoms
,
and
fed
him
at
our
table
,
as
we
haue
done
this
filthie
our
many
a
time
:
the
lord
giue
vs
grace
to
repent
for
it
and
al
other
vanities
.
And
afterward
could
she
neuer
abide
to
looke
vpon
the
Bitch
any
more
.
Hauing
thus
godly
disposed
of
all
things
,
Her
extasie
or
swound
.
she
fell
into
an
extasie
,
or
into
a
traunce
,
or
swound
,
for
the
space
almost
of
a
quarter
of
an
houre
,
so
as
euerie
one
thought
she
had
beene
dead
.
But
afterward
shee
comming
to
her self
spake
to
them
that
were
present
(
as
there
were
many
both
worshipful
&
others
)
saying
.
Right
worshipful
&
my
good
neighbours
&
friends
,
I
thanke
you
all
for
the
great
paines
you
haue
taken
with
me
,
in
this
bed
of
my
sicknes
:
&
whereas
I
am
not
able
to
requite
you
,
I
beséech
the
Lord
to
reward
you
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
And
for
that
my
houre-glasse
is
run
out
,
&
that
my
time
of
departure
hence
is
at
hand
,
I
am
perswaded
for
thrée
causes
to
make
a
confession
of
my
faith
,
before
you
all
.
The
first
cause
that
moueth
me
hereto
is
,
The
causes
mouing
he●
to
make
co●●fession
of
〈◊〉
faith
.
for
that
those
(
if
there
be
any
such
here
)
that
are
not
throughly
resolued
in
the
truth
of
God
,
may
heare
and
learne
what
the
spirit
of
God
hath
taught
me
out
of
his
blessed
&
al
sauing
word
.
The
second
cause
that
mooueth
me
is
,
for
that
none
of
you
should
iudge
that
I
died
not
a
perfect
christian
&
a
liuely
member
of
the
mystical
body
of
Iesus
christ
,
&
so
by
your
rash
iudgement
might
incurre
the
displeasure
of
God
.
The
third
and
last
cause
,
is
for
that
,
as
you
haue
béene
witnesses
of
part
of
my
life
:
so
you
might
be
witnesses
of
my
faith
and
beleeue
also
.
And
in
this
my
confession
,
I
would
not
haue
you
to
thinke
,
that
it
is
I
that
speak
vnto
you
,
but
the
spirit
of
God
which
dwelleth
in
me
,
and
in
al
the
elect
of
God
,
vnlesse
they
be
reprobates
:
for
Paul
saith
,
Ro.
8.
If
any
one
haue
not
the
spirite
of
Christ
dwelling
in
him
,
he
is
none
of
his
.
This
blessed
spirit
hath
knocked
at
the
dore
of
my
heart
,
and
God
hath
giuen
me
grace
to
open
the
doore
vnto
him
,
&
he
dwelleth
in
me
plentifully
.
And
therefore
I
pray
you
giue
me
pacience
a
little
,
and
imprint
my
words
in
your
hearts
,
for
they
are
not
the
words
of
flesh
and
bloud
,
but
of
the
spirite
of
God
,
by
whom
we
are
sealed
to
the
day
of
redemption
.
A
most
heauenly
confession
of
the
Christian
faith
,
made
by
this
blessed
seruant
of
God
Mistresse
Katherine
Stubbes
,
a
little
before
she
died
.
ALthough
the
Maiestie
of
God
,
bee
both
infinite
and
vnspeakable
,
and
therefore
according
to
his
excellent
dignitie
,
can
neither
bee
conceiued
in
heart
,
nor
expressed
in
words
:
yet
to
the
end
you
may
knowe
what
that
God
is
,
in
whome
I
beléeue
,
as
farre
as
he
hath
reuealed
himselfe
vnto
vs
in
his
holy
word
,
I
will
define
him
vnto
you
,
as
the
spirit
of
God
shal
illuminate
my
heart
.
I
beléeue
therfore
with
my
heart
,
and
freely
confesse
with
my
mouth
,
here
before
you
all

that
this

I
beleeue

confesse
that
this
glorious
Godhead

this
blessed
substance

or

,
this
diuine
power
which
we
call
God

is
diuid●d
into

I
beleeue
and
confesse
that
God
the
father

the
first
person
in
this

Trinitie

is
from
euerlasting

beyond

not

nor
created
nor
begotten
of
any
,
but
the
onely
maker

creator
and
begetter
of
all
things
whatsoeuer
.
I
beleeue
&
confesse
,
that
Christ
Iesus
the
son
of
God
,
is
the
second
person
in
this
glorious
Trinitie
,
not
created
or
made
of
any
,
but
begotten
of
his
father
before
all
Eternitie

time

I
beléeue
the
holy
spirite
to
be
the
third
person
in
this
sacred
Trinity
,
not
made
of
any
,
nor
begotten
,
but
proceeding
both
from
the
father
&
the
son
,
as
the
very
wisdome
and
inspiration
of
them
both
.
I
do
beleeue
&
confesse
that
this
most
glorious
Trinity
is
consubstantial

&
coessential
together
,
none
before
or
after

none

of

I
beleeue

that
this
God
,
〈◊〉
created
〈◊〉
things
〈…〉
.
this
blessed
Trinity
,
not
onely
created
all
things
both
visible
and
inuisible
,
spiritual
and
corporall
,
where
or
whatsoeuer

but
also
that
he
vpholdeth

maintaineth
them
by
his
almightie
power
,
&
vnsearchable
wisdome

through
the

I
beleeue
and
confesse
,
that
this
God
ordereth
and
disposeth
al
things
according
to
his
good
pleasure
and
will

and
that
he
also
foreseeth
all

I
beleeue
and
confesse
,
that
the
Lord
our
God
,
hauing
created
the
vniuersall
engine
and
frame
of
this
worlde
,
with
all
things
contained
therein
,
for
the
benefite
and
vse
of
man
onely
,
the
last
of
all
other
creatures
euen
the
sixt
day
created
man
,
after
his
owne
similitude
and
likenesse
,
holy
,
pure
,
good
,
innocent
,
and
in
euery
part
perfect
and
absolute
:
giuing
him
also
wisdome
,
discretion
,
vnderstanding
and
knowledge
aboue
all
other
creatures
(
the
holy
Angels
set
apart
.
)
And
which
was
more
,
Mans
perfection
.
hee
gaue
vnto
him
a
certaine
power
,
strength
and
facultie
(
which
wee
call
freewill
)
by
force
whereof
he
might
haue
continued
and
remained
for
euer
in
his
integritie
and
holinesse
,
if
hee
had
would
.
But
hee
had
no
sooner
receiued
this
inestimable
blessing
of
freewill
,
Man●f●s●
.
of
innocencie
,
and
integritie
,
but
by
hearkening
to
the
poysoned
suggestions
of
the
wicked
Serpent
,
and
by
obeying
his
perswasions
,
hee
lost
his
freewill
,
his
integritie
and
perfection
,
and
vs
all
his
posteritie
to
the
end
of
the
world
:
and
so
of
a
Saint
in
heauen
,
hee
(
and
we
in
him
)
became
firebrands
of
hell
,
vassals
of
Sathan
,
Miscreants
,
Reprobates
,
Abiects
and
Castawaies
,
before
the
face
of
God
for
euer
.
Then
,
when
there
was
no
other
way
or
meanes
for
man
to
bee
saued
in
the
iustice
of
God
,
I
constantly
beleeue
and
confesse
,
that
God
the
Father
in
the
multitude
of
his
mercies
,
when
the
fulnesse
of
tyme
was
come
,
Christ
his
incarnation
.
sent
his
owne
Sonne
,
Christ
Iesus
foorth
of
his
owne
bosome
into
this
miserable
world
,
to
take
our
nature
vpon
him
,
and
that
in
the
wombe
of
a
Uirgine
,
without
spot
or
blemish
of
sinne
,
and
without
the
helpe
of
man
by
the
wonderfull
operation
and
ouershadowing
of
the
holy
ghost
.
And
as
I
constan●ly
beléeue
that
Iesus
Christ
is
come
in
the
flesh
(
according
to
the
scriptures
)
so
I
vnfaignedly
beleeue
,
that
he
hath
offered
vp
his
blessed
bodie
vpon
the
aulter
of
the
Crosse
,
as
a
sacrifice
propiciatorie
,
satisfactorie
,
and
expiatorie
,
for
the
sinnes
of
●he
whole
world
,
and
for
me
the
chiefest
of
all
sinners
:
By
v●r●ue
,
power
,
Christ
his
sacrifice
.
and
efficacie
of
which
Sacrifice
and
oblation
onely
,
I
trust
and
beleeue
to
be
saued
,
and
by
the
merits
of
the
sh●ading
of
the
bloud
of
this
immaculate
lambe
,
Christ
Iesus
,
to
be
set
free
,
&
pardoned
of
all
my
sinnes
whatsoeuer
.
And
whereas
the
professed
enemies
of
GOD
the
Papists
doo
bragge
of
their
good
workes
,
of
their
merits
,
righteousnesse
and
deserts
,
I
here
before
you
al
,
in
the
presence
of
God
,
&
his
holy
Angels
,
do
vtterly
ren●unce
,
abandon
&
forsake
all
my
own
merits
,
righteousnes
,
and
deserts
as
filthie
dounge
,
acknowledging
my
merits
to
bee
the
merits
of
GOD
in
Christ
,
who
is
made
vnto
me
righteousnesse
,
holines
,
sanctification
and
redemption
.
For
I
am
assured
that
if
the
Lord
should
wey
my
very
righteousnes
in
the
ballance
of
his
iustice
,
rewarding
mee
according
to
the
same
,
I
should
receiue
nothing
but
iust
damnation
for
my
deserts
.
I
doo
further
beleeue
and
confesse
,
that
Iesus
Christ
hauing
suffered
death
vpon
the
Crosse
for
me
and
all
mankind
,
〈◊〉
heauens
〈◊〉
holde
〈…〉
body
til
the
〈◊〉
of
iudge
〈◊〉
.
I
do
constantly
beleeue
,
that
the
Heauens
must
holde
his
corporall
presence
till
the
day
of
iudgement
:
that
his
blessed
bodie
is
circumscriptible
,
and
contained
in
one
locall
place
,
and
can
not
be
present
in
euery
place
▪
at
one
and
the
same
time
,
his
Deitie
and
his
Godhead
notwithstanding
being
in
euery
place
at
once
,
and
fulfilling
all
places
,
and
yet
contained
in
no
place
.
For
it
is
against
the
nature
of
a
true
bodie
,
to
be
present
in
many
places
at
once
.
And
therefore
the
Papists
in
effect
denie
that
bodie
of
Christ
,
to
bee
a
true
,
essentiall
and
naturall
bodie
,
by
teaching
it
to
be
present
in
their
so
many
and
sundry
Pixes
at
once
.
●hrist
his
●omming
to
●●dgement
,
●nd
of
our
●●surrection
.
I
doe
beleeue
and
confesse
,
that
this
Iesus
Christ
shall
come
at
the
latter
day
of
iudgement
,
when
the
number
of
Gods
elect
shall
be
fulfilled
,
in
the
same
likenes
that
he
was
seene
goe
vp
into
heauen
,
and
with
the
same
naturall
bodie
,
to
iudge
both
the
quicke
and
the
dead
,
and
to
rewarde
euery
man
according
to
his
workes
.
At
which
day
I
doe
constantly
beleeue
,
that
all
flesh
,
(
I
meane
of
mankind
onely
)
shall
rise
againe
by
the
omnipotent
power
of
God
,
whereby
hee
is
able
to
subdue
all
things
to
himselfe
,
not
one
hayre
of
our
heads
lacking
.
Then
death
shall
yeeld
vp
his
dead
,
the
graue
his
dead
,
the
sea
his
dead
,
&
hell
his
dead
.
And
then
shall
the
soules
of
the
godly
,
of
the
elect
and
chosen
of
God
enter
into
their
owne
bodies
againe
,
and
be
reunited
together
,
their
bodies
now
being
renued
,
altered
and
changed
:
for
being
before
corruptible
bodies
,
now
they
shall
bee
made
incorruptible
:
being
before
mortall
bodies
,
now
they
shall
bée
made
immortall
:
being
before
filthy
and
vncleane
,
now
they
shall
bee
made
cleane
and
pure
,
like
to
the
glorious
bodie
of
Christ
Iesus
,
shining

For

In

Luke

we
reade
that
the

of

straight
after

caried
into

not

was
not
hatched
almost
in

yeres
after
.
The
soule
of
the
penitent
and
faithfull
théefe
,
was
caried
straightway
into
Paradice
:
for
so
Christ
tolde
him
:
this
day
shalt
thou
be
with
me
in
Paradice
:
that
is
in
the
kingdome
of

,
and
not

Salomo
saith

The
soules
of
the
righteous
are
in
the
handes
of
God
,
and
there
shall
no
torments
come
nigh
them
.
Christ
saith
,
he
went
into
heauen
to
prepare
a
place
for
vs
,
then
not
into
Purgatorie
,
except
they
wil
haue
their
Purgatorie
to
be
in
heauen
.
He
saith
further
:
that
where
hée
is
,
there
shall
his
seruants
be
also
.
Purgatory
of
the
Papists
blasphemou●
▪
But
I
hope
they
wil
not
say
that
Christ
is
in
Purgatorie
,
but
in
Heauen
,
and
thither
shall
al
the
soules
of
the
faithfull
ascend
immediately
.
And
therefore
is
the
opinion
of
popish
Purgatory
,
both
blasphemous
,
&
sacrilegious
.
But
the
true
Purgatorie
in
deede
is
this
,
the
blood
of
Iesus
Christ
which
clenseth
vs
from
all
sinne
,
no
other
Purgatorie
doo
I
know
of
by
the
worde
of
God
,
nor
acknowledge
.
I
beleeue
also
and
confesse
,
that
man
is
iustified
,
that
is
,
pronounced
iust
before
God
,
freed
from
sinne
,
and
al
punishments
due
for
sinne
,
by●r
true
and
liuely

in
the

of

〈◊〉
iustified

only
.
and
not
by
his

,
merits
,
righteousnesse
,
or
deserts
:
neither
yet
by
any
inherent
righteousnesse
in
himselfe
,
as
t●e
blasphemous
Papists
teach
,
nor
by
any
other
meanes
whatsoeu●r
.
And
therefore
the
Apostle
to
th●
Rom.
4.
was
〈◊〉
to
say
,
that
if
Abraham
were
iustified
by
works
,
then
had
he
wherein
to
reioyce
,
but
not
with
God
:
for
he
saith
afterward
in
the
fift
chapter
:
Being
iustified
by
faith
we
haue
peace
tow●rds
God
,
through
Iesus
Chrst.
And
therefo●e
doo
I
constantly
beleeue
,
that
wee
are
iustified
by
faith
onely
,
and
not
by
the
works
of
the
law
:
for
if
good
works
could
●aue
vs
then
had
Christ
died
in
vaine
.
And
if
they
could
sa●e
vs
,
why
should
they
not
be
called
by
the
name
of
Sauiour
?
But
when
I
say
that
Faith
onely
iustifieth
,
I
meane
not
a
barren
faith
,
or
a
dead
Faith
wi●hout
good
works
,
such
as
the
diuels
haue
,
but
I
speake
of
such
a
Faith
as
bringeth
forth
good
works
in
great
plenty
:
and
can
no
more
be
without
good
works
,
than
the
Sun
without
light
,
the
fire
without
heat
or
the
water
without
his
natural
moysture
.
Why
we
●hould
doo
●ood
works
.
If
you
would
know
why
we
should
doo
good
works
,
if
we
cannot
be
saued
by
them
,
I
will
tell
you
:
we
must
doo
good
works
for
foure
causes
,
chiefly
.
First
,
to
shew
our
obedience
to
him
that
commaunds
vs
:
secondly
,
to
glorifie
him
that
created
vs
and
ordained
good
works
also
that
we
should
walke
in
them
.
Thirdly
,
for
the
mutuall
lou●
and
charitie
which
we
beare
towards
the
brethren
.
Fourthly
,
to
make
our
saluation
sure
and
certaine
vnto
vs
,
as
the
Apostle
speaketh
.
For
these
&
other
causes
must
we
do
good
works
,
&
yet
must
we
not
trust
to
be
saued
by
them
:
for
there
is
no
other
name
giuen
vnder
heauen
,
wherby
man
can
be
saued
,
but
onely
the
name
of
Iesus
Christ
.
I
do
also
constantly
beleeue
&
con●esse
,
●he
canoni●al
scriptures
●he
infallible
●ord
of
God
.
●hat
al
the
canonical
scriptures
are
the
in●allible
word
of
God
▪
and
that
the
holy
spirit
of
God
,
was
,
&
is
the
onely
author
of
them
&
that
holy
men
of
God
,
spake
&
writ
them
,
as
they
were
taught
and
inspired
by
the
spirite
of
God
,
as
blessed
Peter
beareth
record
.
I
also
beleeue
that
the
holy
scriptures
do
contain
all
things
necessary
to
sa●uation
,
without
all
popish
trash
of
vnwritten
verities
▪
or
rather
vnwritten
berie
lyes
.
I
do
further
also
beleeue
and
confesse
,
that
God
the
father
hath
from
euerlasting
and
before
all
worlds
,
in
his
secret
counsel
,
Her
faith
in
the
predestination
of
Go●
and
what
it
is
▪
and
in
his
euerlasting
purpose
and
decree
,
elected
,
chosen
and
predestinate
in
Christ
Iesus
,
certaine
of
the
lost
sonnes
of
Adam
,
to
be
members
of
his
body
▪
&
coheir●s
with
him
of
his
heauenvly
kingdom
.
And
othersome
hath
he
pr●destinated
to
euerlasting
destruction
,
leauing
them
in
their
naturall
sin
and
corruption
still
.
Now
if
ye
aske
me
what
predestination
and
reprobation
is
:
I
answer
,
it
is
the
euerlasting
purpose
or
decree
of
God
,
whereby
he
doth
chuse
some
to
saluation
&
some
to
damnation
.
If
you
demaund
why
he
chuseth
some
to
salu●tion
,
and
not
all
,
finding
them
all
in
like
state
and
condition
:
I
answer
In
chusing
of
some
to
saluation
,
he
sheweth
his
vnspeakable
mercy
,
grace
,
fauour
,
and
loue
:
and
in
chusing
other
some
to
damnation
,
he
sheweth
his
power
,
his
iustice
,
and
his
iudgem●nt
to
all
the
world
.
For
as
by
the
one
,
the
mercy
of
God
appeareth
,
so
by
the
other
,
wee
may
see
what
we
haue
all
deserued
.
And
if
you
aske
me
why
he
chuseth
some
,
and
reiecteth
othersome
.
I
tell
you
hee
may
doo
it
at
his
blessed
will
and
pleasure
:
for
if
I
haue
two
debters
that
owe
me
a
thousand
pound
,
it
is
in
mee
to
release
the
one
of
the
whole
debt
,
and
to
exact
the
whole
of
the
other
:
for
to
the
one
I
shew
but
mercie
,
and
to
the
other
but
iustice
.
Our
vocation
or
calling
.
Now
those
that
the
Lord
hath
predestinate
in
Christ
Iesus
to
euerlasting
saluation
,
them
doth
he
call
in
his
good
time
to
the
knowledge
of
his
truth
,
to
repentan●e
to
integrity
of
life
,
&
to
all
perfection
,
and
those
whom
he
doth
call
them
doth
he
iustifie
,
and
whom
he
doth
iustifie
,
them
will
he
glorifie
.
And
that
this
doctrine
of
predestination
&
reprobation
standeth
thus
,
the
Apostle
Eph.
1.11
.
sheweth
euidently
,
saying
:
we
are
chosen
in
Christ
,
when
we
were
p●edestinate
according
to
the
purpose
of
him
that
worketh
all
things
a●ter
the
counsel
of
his
will
.
And
in
the
4
&
5
ver.
of
the
same
chapter
,
he
●aith
:
we
are
chosen
in
him
meaning
Christ
,
before
the
foundation
of
the
world
,
that
we
should
be
holy
&
blamelesse
before
him
in
loue
.
Read
Rom.
9.
and
many
other
places
of
holy
scriptures
&
you
shall
fin●
this
doctrine
to
be
very
cleare
.
I
do
further
beleeue
and
confesse
,
that
God
hath
his
seuerall
churches
as
namely
his
Church
triumphant
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
&
his
Church
militant
,
dispersed
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth
:
I
do
also
beléeue
,
that
this
militant
Church
is
two
folde
,
visible
and
inuisible
.
●he
Church
●wo
folde
,
and
〈◊〉
.
The
visible
Church
is
knowne
and
discerned
by
these
marks
:
the
word
of
God
preached
,
the
Sacraments
sincerely
ministred
,
Ecclesiasticall
discipline
and
other
censures
of
the
Church
duely
executed
.
The
other
Church
I
call
the
inuisible
Church
,
not
for
that
men
are
inuisible
,
but
for
that
it
alwaies
appeareth
not
to
the
eye
of
the
world
,
but
is
knowne
to
God
onely
,
who
alone
knoweth
who
are
his
.
I
beleeue
that
this
Church
,
How
&
when
〈◊〉
Church
●annot
〈◊〉
.
this
spouse
of
Christ
cannot
erre
,
finally
in
matters
of
saluation
,
and
damnation
,
so
long
as
she
holdeth
her
head
Christ
Iesus
aright
.
And
I
constantly
beléeue
,
that
Iesus
Christ
is
the
onely
head
,
ruler
and
gouernour
of
his
Church
,
and
not
Antichrist
the
Pope
,
nor
any
of
his
shauelings
:
as
Paul
testifieth
,
Ephes.
4.15
.
saying
:
Let
vs
grow
vp
in
all
things
in
him
,
who
is
the
head
,
Christ
is
the
●●ole
head
of
●he
Church
.
Christ
Iesus
.
Againe
in
another
place
hee
saith
.
As
Christ
is
the
head
of
the
Church
,
so
is
the
husband
head
ouer
his
wife
.
I
beleeue
and
confesse
,
that
Iesus
Christ
hath
left
,
not
onely
the
holy
Scriptures
to
instruct
and
teach
his
Church
,
but
also
Sacraments
,
in
number
two
:
to
wit
,
Baptisme
,
and
the
Lords
Supper
,
as
seales
of
his
grace
towards
it
to
confirme
it
in
his
truth
,
and
as
conduits
of
his
mercy
,
to
conuey
his
grace
&
goodnesse
to
it
also
.
These
Sacraments
(
I
say
)
are
Seales
and
signes
of
holie
things
,
Two
Sacraments
,
and
what
they
are
,
whereof
they
do
consist
,
and
what
they
represent
vnto
●s
.
and
therefore
cannot
be
the
things
themselues
.
For
it
is
against
the
nature
of
a
Sacrament
,
to
be
the
thing
signified
therby
.
Baptisme
consisteth
of
two
natures
,
the
visible
Element
,
and
the
inuisible
grace
.
The
visible
Element
is
water
,
the
inuisible
grace
is
the
gifts
and
graces
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
conferred
in
baptisme
.
The
water
signifieth
vnto
vs
,
that
our
whole
nature
is
corrupted
,
and
had
need
to
be
purged
and
cleansed
.
It
signifieth
also
vnto
vs
,
our
regeneration
,
sanctification
and
new
birth
.
And
it
representeth
also
vnto
vs
the
bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
,
which
cleanseth
vs
from
all
sinnes
.
And
I
faithfully
beleeue
,
that
it
is
no
more
lawfull
for
a
woman
to
minister
this
Sacrament
,
then
it
is
lawfull
for
her
to
preach
,
or
to
minister
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
.
And
as
concerning
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
,
I
beleeue
and
confesse
,
that
it
consisteth
of
two
natures
also
,
an
earthly
,
and
an
heauenly
nature
or
quality
.
The
visible
element
or
earthly
nature
is
bread
&
wine
:
the
heauenvly
nature
or
quality
,
the
body
and
bloud
of
Christ
signified
thereby
.
The
wine
doth
represent
vnto
vs
the
bloud
of
Christ
which
was
shed
for
vs
:
and
the
bread
doth
signify
vnto
vs
also
,
the
body
of
Christ
,
which
was
giuen
for
vs
.
And
as
many
as
doe
receiue
this
Sacrament
worthily
in
remembrance
of
the
death
&
passion
of
Iesus
Christ
,
doe
eat
and
drink
Iesus
Christ
(
spiritually
)
to
their
euerlasting
saluation
.
And
I
do
verely
beleeue
,
that
in
this
Sacrament
,
Neither
the
bread
nor
wine
chang●
in
the
Lord●
Supper
.
neither
the
bread
nor
the
wine
,
neither
before
,
nor
after
the
wordes
of
consecration
(
as
they
tearme
them
)
are
chaunged
,
altered
,
or
transubstantiate
,
into
the
reall
,
essentiall
,
or
materiall
body
of
Christ
,
but
doe
remaine
the
same
still
in
nature
and
substance
that
they
were
before
.
And
therefore
Paul
feared
not
to
call
it
bread
still
many
times
in
his
epistle
to
the
Corinthians
.
And
our
Sauiour
Christ
in
the
6.
of
Iohn
saith
:
that
they
should
see
him
ascend
into
heauen
with
the
same
body
that
he
sate
in
with
them
at
Supper
,
whole
and
vneaten
:
adding
further
,
that
the
wordes
that
he
spake
,
were
spirite
and
truth
,
and
that
it
is
the
spirit
that
giueth
life
,
the
flesh
profiteth
little
.
And
he
biddeth
vs
to
celebrate
this
Supper
in
remembrance
of
him
:
and
to
preach
his
death
therin
till
he
come
againe
.
If
Christ
were
in
the
Sacrament
,
flesh
,
blood
,
and
bone
,
then
the
wicked
might
eate
him
,
&
so
should
there
neuer
any
wicked
be
condemned
:
for
Christ
sayth
,
hee
that
eateth
his
flesh
and
drinketh
his
bloud
shall
neuer
die
:
yea
Rattes
,
Cattes
and
Mice
,
might
eate
his
body
,
which
were
blasphemous
,
and
sacrilegious
once
to
imagine
,
though
the
Papists
are
not
ashamed
to
teach
it
openly
.
And
albeit
that
these
Sacraments
doe
represent
vnto
vs
most
excellent
things
,
Sacraments
d●
not
conferre
grace
.
yet
do
they
not
conferre
grace
of
themselues
:
neither
is
the
grace
of
God
so
tied
to
the
materiall
Elements
,
that
hee
cannot
saue
without
them
.
And
therefore
are
the
Papists
more
then
cruell
,
that
teach
all
children
to
be
damned
that
die
before
baptisme
.
For
wee
read
of
certaine
in
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
that
were
baptised
,
and
yet
they
had
not
so
much
as
heard
whether
there
were
any
holy
Ghost
or
not
.
Simon
Magus
was
baptised
,
yet
he
receiued
not
the
holy
Ghost
tho
.
And
againe
,
Cornelius
had
receyued
the
holy
Ghost
before
his
Baptisme
.

But
yet

be
not

to

,
yet
hee
that
may
receyue

And
as
I
beleeue
that
Iesus
Christ
is
our
onely
mediatour
and
aduocate
:
so
I
constantly
beleeue
,
that
he
onely
is
to
be
called

inuocated

they
seemed

be

For
we
are
assured
by
the
word
of
god
,
that
the
saints
can
neither
heare
our
praiers

nor
grant

And
therefore
Christ
saith
:
Call
vpon
me
in

of
thy

,
and
I
will
deliuer
thee
,
and
thou
shalt
prayse

And
againe
,
the
Apostle
sayth
:
how
shall
they
call
vpon
him
,
in

they
haue
not
beleeued

Then
as
it
is
not
lawfull
to

in

:
so
is
it
not

to

I
doe
also
most
constantly
beleeue
,
that
my
soule
,
so
soone
as
euer
it
shall
depart
foorth
of
my
bodie
,
shall
be
caried
by
the
ministerie
of
the
holy
Angels
of
God
,
into
the
kingdome
of
Heauen
:
where
I
shall
see
,
and
certainly
knowe
,
Adam
,
Euah
,
Noah
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
Iacob
,
Moses
,
Samuel
,
Dauid
,
and
all
other
Prophets
▪
Patriarkes
and
Fathers
,
together
,
with
Marie
the
mother
of
Christ
,
Peter
,
Paul
,
Iames
and
Iohn
,
and
all
other
Martyrs
,
Confessours
,
and
holy
Saints
of
God
,
which
haue
dyed
since
the
beginning
of
the
worlde
,
or
which
shall
die
to
the
ende
of
the
same
.
Oh
what
a
comfortable
thing
is
this
,
that
we
shall
know
one
another
in
the
life
to
come
?
Talke
one
with
another
?
loue
one
another
?
and
praise
God
one
with
another
,
and
all
together
worlde
without
ende
?
And
because
some
of
you
peraduenture
will
hardly
beleeue
this
doctrine
to
be
so
,
I
pray
you
giue
me
leaue
to
proue
it
by
the
worde
of
God
,
and
then
will
I
make
an
end
.
When
God
had
cast
Adam
into
a
dead
sleepe
,
&
made
woman
of
a
ribbe
of
his
side
,
he
brought
her
vnto
him
,
We
shal
kn●●
one
an
other
the
life
to
come
.
and
he
knew
her
straight
way
,
and
called
her
by
her
name
.
Could
Adam
in
the
state
of
innocency
know
his
wife
,
he
being
in
a
dead
sleepe
,
whilest
she
was
in
making
?
And
shal
not
we
being
restored
to
a
farre
more
excellent
dignity
and
perfection
,
then
euer
was
Adam
in
,
not
know
one
another
?
Shall
our
knowledge
be
lesse
in
heauen
,
then
it
is
in
earth
?
Doe
we
know
one
another
in
this
life
,
where
wee
know
but
in
part
,
and
see
but
in
part
,
yea
as
it
were
in
a
Glasse
,
and
shall
we
not
know
one
another
in
the
life
to
come
,
where
all
ignorance
shall
be
done
away
.
In
the
16.
of
Luke
we
reade
,
how
that
the
rich
man
lying
in
hell
,
knew
Abraham
and
Lazarus
in
heauen
a
farre
off
.
Then
I
reason
thus
:
If
the
wicked
that
be
in
hell
in
torments
doe
knowe
those
that
be
in
heauen
so
farre
aboue
them
:
how
much
more
shal
the
godly
know
one
another
,
being
altogether
in
one
place
,
&
fellowe
Citizens
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
?
We
reade
also
in
the
17.
of
Matt:
how
our
Sauiour
Christ
meaning
to
shew
vnto
his
Disciples
Peter
,
Iames
and
Iohn
as
it
were
a
shadowe
,
or
glimmering
of
the
ioyes
of
heauen
(
and
therefore
hee
is
sayd
to
bee
transfigured
before
them
,
and
his
face
did
shine
as
the
Sunne
,
and
his
apparell
was
like
the
light
:
)
there
appeared
vnto
them
Moses
and
Elias
,
sayth
the
text
.
Then
it
followeth
,
that
if
the
Disciples
being
in
their
natural
corruption
,
and
but
in
a
shadow
and
glimmering
of
the
ioyes
of
heauen
,
did
knowe
Moses
and
Elias
,
the
one
whereof
died
almost
two
thousand
yeares
before
,
the
other
not
much
lesse
,
how
much
more
shall
we
knowe
one
another
in
the
life
to
come
,
all
corruption
being
taken
away
,
and
we
in
the
full
fruition
and
possession
of
all
the
ioyes
and
glory
of
heauen
?
This
is
my
faith
,
this
is
my
hope
&
this
is
my
trust
this
hath
the
spirite
of
God
taught
me
,
and
this
haue
I
learned
out
of
the
booke
of
God
.
And
(
good
Lord
)
that
hast
begun
this
good
worke
in
me
,
finish
it
,
I
beseech
thee
:
and
strengthen
me
that
I
may
perseuere
therein
to
the
ende
,
and
in
the
end
,
through
Iesus
Christ
my
onely
Lord
and
Sauiour
.
She
had
no
sooner
made
an
end
of
this
most
heauenly
confession
of
her
faith
but
Sathan
was
ready
to
bid
her
the
combat
,
whome
shee
mightely
repulsed
,
A
most
wonderfull
conflict
betwixt
Sathan
and
her
soule
,
and
of
her
valiaunt
conquest
in
the
same
,
by
the
power
of
Christ
.
HOw
now
Satan
?
what
makest
thou
here
?
Art
thou
come
to
tempt
the
Lords
seruant
?
〈◊〉
wonderful
●emptation
▪

〈…〉
in

I
tell
thée
,
thou
hell-hound
,
thou
hast
no
part
nor
portion
in
me
:
nor
by
the
grace
of
God
neuer
shalt
haue
.
I
was
,
now
am
,
and
shall
be
the
Lords
for
euer
Yea
Satan
,
I
was
chosen
&
elected
in
Christ
to
euerlasting
saluation
before
the
foundations
of
the
world
were
laid
:
and
therefore
thou
maist
get
thee
packing
,
thou
damned
Dog
,
and
goe
shake
thine
eares
,
for
in
me
thou
hast
nought
.
But
what
doest
thou
lay
to
my
charge
,
thou
soule
fiend
?
Oh
that
I
am
a
sinner
,
and
therefore
shall
be
damned
:
I
confesse
in
deed
that
I
am
a
sinner
,
and
a
grieuous
sinner
,
both
by
originall
sinne
,
and
actuall
sinne
,
and
that
I
may
thanke
thee
for
.
And
therefore
Satan
I
bequeath
my
sin
to
thee
,
from
whom
it
first
came
,
and
I
appeale
to
the
mercy
of
God
in
Christ
Iesus
Christ
came
to
saue
sinners
(
as
he
saith
himself
)
and
not
the
righteous
:
behold
the
Lambe
of
God
(
saith
Iohn
)
that
taketh
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
.
And
in
another
place
he
crieth
out
,
the
bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
,
doth
cleanse
vs
from
all
sinne
.
And
therefore
Satan
,
I
constantly
beleeue
that
my
sinnes
are
washed
away
in
the
precious
bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
shall
neuer
be
imputed
vnto
me
any
more
.
But
what
sayest
thou
more
,
Satan
?
Doest
thou
aske
me
how
I
dare
come
to
him
for
mercy
,
hee
being
a
righteous
God
,
and
I
a
miserable
sinner
?
I
tell
thee
Satan
,
I
am
bold
through
Christ
,
to
come
vnto
him
,
being
assured
and
certaine
of
pardon
and
remission
of
all
my
sinnes
for
his
names
sake
.
For
,
doeth
not
the
Lorde
bidde
all
that
be
heauy
laden
with
the
burthen
of
sinne
,
to
come
vnto
him
,
and
he
will
ease
them
?
Her
dispu●●
on
with
〈◊〉
Christes
armes
were
spread
wide
open
(
Satan
)
vpon
the
Crosse
(
with
that
shee
spread
her
owne
armes
)
to
embrace
me
,
and
all
penitent
sinners
:
and
therefore
(
Satan
)
I
wil
not
feare
to
present
my selfe
before
his
footestoole
,
in
full
assurance
of
his
mercy
for
Christ
his
sake
.
What
more
,
Satan
?
Doest
thou
say
,
it
is
written
,
that
God
will
rewarde
euery
one
according
to
his
workes
,
or
according
to
his
desertes
?
But
it
is
written
againe
(
thou
deceiptfull
deuill
)
that
Christes
righteousnesse
,
is
my
righteousnesse
,
his
workes
,
my
workes
,
his
desertes
my
deserts
,
his
merits
,
my
merits
,
and
his
precious
bloud
a
full
satisfaction
for
al
my
sins
.
Oh
,
but
God
is
a
iust
God
,
thou
saist
,
and
therefore
must
néedes
in
iustice
condemne
me
.
I
grant
(
Satan
)
that
he
is
a
iust
God
,
and
therefore
he
cannot
in
iustice
punish
me
for
my
sins
,
which
he
hath
punished
already
in
his
sonne
.
It
is
against
the
law
of
iustice
,
to
punish
one
fault
twice
.
I
was
,
and
am
,
a
great
debter
vnto
God
the
Father
,
but
Christ
Iesus
hath
paid
the
debt
for
me
:
and
therefore
it
standeth
not
with
the
iustice
of
God
to
require
it
againe
.
And
therefore
auoid
Satan
,
auoid
thou
firebrand
of
hell
,
auoid
thou
damned
dog
,
and
tempt
me
no
more
,
for
he
that
is
with
me
,
is
mightier
then
thou
,
Her
victory
ouer
Satan
.
euen
the
mighty
and
victorious
Lion
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
who
hath
bruzed
thy
head
,
and
hath
promised
to
be
with
his
children
to
the
end
of

Auoid
therfore
thou

auoid
thou
cowardly
souldier
,
remooue
thy
siege
,
and
yeeld
the
field
won
,
and
get
thée
packing
,
or
else
I
wil
cal
vpon
my
grand-captaine
Christ
Iesus
,
that
valiant
Michael
,
who
beat
thée
in
Heauen
,
and
threw
thee
downe
to
hell
,
with
all
thy
hellish
traine
:
and
diuelish
crew
She
had
scarcely
pronounced
these
last
words
but
she
fell
suddenly
into
a
sweete
smiling
laughter
,
saying
:
Now
is
hee
gone
,
now
is
he
gone
:
doe
ye
not
see
him
flie
like
a
coward
,
and
runne
away
like
a
beaten
cocke
?
He
hath
lost
the
field
,
and
I
haue
wonne
the
victory
,
euen
the
garland
and
crowne
of
euerlasting
life
:
and
that
not
by
my
own
power
and
strength
,
but
by
the
power
and
might
of
Iesus
Christ
,
who
hath
sent
his
holy
Angels
to
keep
me
.
And
speaking
to
them
that
were
by
,
she
said
,
oh
would
God
you
saw
but
what
I
sée
:
For
do
you
not
see
infinite
millions
of
most
glorious
Angels
stand
about
me
,
with
fierie
charets
readie
to
defend
me
,
as
they
did
the
good
Prophet
Elizeus
?
These
holy
Angels
,
〈◊〉
sweete
●editations
.
From
henceforth
is
layd
vp
for
me
a
crowne
of
life
,
which
Christ
shall
giue
to
those
that
loue
him
.
And
as
I
am
nowe
in
possession
thereof
by
hope
,
so
shall
I
be
anon
in
ful
fruition
therof
by
presence
of
my
soule
,
and
hereafter
of
my
body
also
,
when
the
Lorde
shall
please
.
Then
she
spake
softly
to
her selfe
as
followeth
.
Come
Lord
Iesus
,
come
my
loue
Iesus
,
oh
send
thy
Purseuant
(
sweete
Iesus
)
to
fetch
me
.
Oh
(
sweet
Iesus
)
strengthen
thy
seruant
,
and
keepe
thy
promise
.
Then
sang
she
certaine
Psalmes
most
sweetly
,
and
with
a
chearefull
voice
:
which
done
,
the
desired
her
husband
that
the
133.
Psalme
might
he
sung
before
her
to
the
Church
.
And
further
,
shee
desired
him
that
hee
would
not
mourne
for
her
,
alledging
the
Apostle
Paul
,
where
he
saith
:
Brethren
I
would
not
haue
you
to
mourn
,
as
men
without
hope
,
〈◊〉
request
〈◊〉
her
hus●●nd
not
to
●ourne
f●r
〈◊〉
for
them
that
die
in
the
Lord
:
affirming
that
she
was
not
in
case
to
be
mourned
for
,
but
rather
to
be
reioiced
of
:
for
that
shee
should
passe
(
shee
said
)
from
earth
to
heauen
:
from
men
to
holy
Angels
:
to
Cherubins
and
Seraphins
,
to
holy
Saintes
,
Patriarckes
and
Fathers
:
yea
to
God
himselfe
.
After
which
words
,
very
suddenly
she
seemed
as
it
were
greatly
to
reioice
,
and
looke
verie
chearfully
,
as
though
she
had
seene
some
glorious
sight
:
and
lifting
vp
her
whole
bodie
,
and
stretching
forth
both
her
armes
,
as
though
she
would
embrace
some
glorious
and
pleasant
thing
,
said
:
I
thanke
my
God
,
through
Iesus
Christ
,
he
is
come
,
hee
is
come
,
my
good
Iayler
is

to
let
my
soule
out
of
prison
.
Oh

Her

and

neuer

Welcome

Strike

Now

Sweet

Her
last
wordes
Blessed
spirite
of

I
commit

Oh

,
into

I
commit
both
my

and
my

,
at
which
words
her
breath
stayed
,
and
so
neither
moouing

,
she
slept
sweetly
in

Her

Mistresse
Katherine
Stubs

which
is
so
much
the

tender
of
yeares

not
halfe
a

aboue

The
