Great
LORD
and
LADY
,
IT
were
vaine
to
excuse
this
enterprize
,
your
goodnesse
will
not
refuse
it
,
it
were
folly
to
commend
it
,
your
wisdomes
might
iustly
explode
it
.
I
will
not
say
,
I
contriued
and
compiled
it
for
your
sakes
,
so
shoulde
I
seeme
to
begge
your
thanks
,
and
depriue
my selfe
of
a
vniuersall
benefite
;
for
wee
that
labour
in
the
Church
,
must
not
bee
personall
.
Yet
I
will
say
,
that
I
would
not
divulge
it
to
the
world
,
but
vnder
the
honor
of
your
names
:
And
if
it
could
adde
either
Goodnesse
or
greatnesse
to
your
Honours
,
(
as
I
hope
Almighty
God
in
time
will
both
)
I
would
euery
line
had
beene
a
leafe
,
and
euery
page
a
volume
,
till
both
your
soules
and
selues
could
say
with
Salomon
,
who
could
eate
or
hast
to
these
things
more
then
we
?
You
are
nowe
become
other
then
you
were
,
and
the
graces
of
your
Noble
Natures
and
education
,
begin
to
appeare
to
the
view
of
all
that
will
beholde
you
:
for
your
great
places
haue
mounted
you
on
the
highest
seates
,
whereby
you
cannot
bee
secret
though
you
woulde
;
for
you
may
not
discend
that
Theater
of
Honor
,
till
you
dye
,
Principibus
regnare
est
viuere
,
&
non
regnare
est
mori
,
Princes
&
Rulers
,
their
life
is
to
be
eminent
,
and
when
they
cease
to
be
eminent
,
they
dye
,
and
cease
to
liue
.
Wherefore
you
see
(
without
my
Narration
)
the
good
and
euil
in
great
personages
will
disclose
it selfe
,
so
as
all
the
enemies
shall
not
staine
their
Vertues
,
which
will
breake
forth
like
the
Sunne
in
his
heighth
and
heate
;
nor
all
the
flatterers
,
with
their
seuerall
false
colours
,
and
false
praises
,
so
enammell
and
gilte
ouer
their
vices
,
Your
Hon:
are
greatly
blessed
by
Almighty
God
,
&
I
am
assured
you
will
,
as
you
ought
,
euer
acknowledge
his
goodnesse
and
greatnesse
,
the
Author
of
yours
:
For
you
haue
not
forsaken
your
Fathers
houses
,
with
Abraham
,
Iacob
,
and
other
,
but
you
are
both
heires
of
your
Fathers
houses
,
and
in
their
houses
,
to
your
mutuall
glory
,
your
coniunction
hath
increased
their
honour
for
you
acquired
.
And
that
which
hapneth
to
fewe
,
is
fallen
vpon
you
,
euen
in
your
first
and
yonger
yeares
,
to
be
rich
,
and
good
,
God
graunt
it
to
continue
,
and
(
without
blemish
,
to
the
Noble
Stemmes
from
which
you
are
descended
)
I
will
not
cease
to
pray
,
that
you
may
bee
glad
Parentes
of
many
children
like
your selues
,
and
you
,
and
your
Posterity
,
be
greater
and
better
then
they
,
if
it
bee
Gods
good
will
and
pleasure
.
The
first
thing
wherein
your
Hon:
must
now
shew
your selues
to
the
worlde
,
Regra
,
satrapicia
ciuilis
&
priuata
,
of
which
the
second
,
which
is
the
Lordly
House
,
fitteth
your
Honour
.
is
your
Houshold
gouernment
.
Houshold
Gouernment
,
I
say
,
the
Parent
&
first
beginner
of
Common-wealthes
,
the
Seminary
of
Kingdoms
,
&
Counsels
;
the
discerner
of
naturall
wisedome
,
the
Architect
of
honour
,
and
Disciplinarie
schoole
of
a
wise
,
vertuous
,
and
happy
life
:
from
which
Almighty
God
fetcheth
his
Byshops
.
The
Romaines
,
and
best
common-wealth-men
,
fetched
their
Consuls
&
Tribunes
,
and
many
times
Kings
haue
beene
chosen
out
of
this
ranke
.
The
wise
Salomon
is
an
Authour
of
this
gouernment
,
as
you
may
reade
in
the
succeeding
discourse
.
Antoninus
was
made
an
Emperor
,
out
of
this
sight
,
proofe
,
and
hope
,
who
is
commended
for
taking
away
all
wages
from
the
ydle
,
and
leauing
nothing
to
his
Daughter
,
Hermion
,
the
fift
King
of
Germanie
,
who
liued
after
the
floud
,
Wittenberge
,
for
this
cause
honoured
like
a
God
.
Of
Galeacius
,
of
Columella
,
and
of
Cato
the
wise
,
who
wrote
heereof
,
and
is
commended
for
this
saying
,
For
these
causes
,
when
I
came
vnto
Hartfield
,
after
seauenteen
years
absence
,
(
the
first
Pulpit
that
euer
I
ascended
,
and
the
first
place
of
my
Ministerial
function
)
I
chose
to
speake
heereof
,
how
,
and
with
what
successe
your
Hon:
haue
hearde
,
and
I
am
not
now
bound
to
make
relation
thereof
,
or
trouble
my selfe
,
against
rash
,
ydle
,
false
,
and
at
the
best
,
ignorant
censures
;
yet
as
euill
Lawes
gaue
occasion
to
good
manners
,
sinnes
to
Sermons
,
so
hath
contradiction
to
many
good
Bookes
,
and
therefore
I
resolued
first
for
your
Honours
satisfaction
,
and
in
you
for
a
more
vniuersall
commodity
to
all
my
Countrey-men
,
to
giue
my
Sermons
a
publicke
birth
,
through
my
further
trauell
,
praying
your
Hon:
to
be
the
witnesses
of
their
Christendome
,
that
they
containe
nothing
but
Christian
doctrine
,
and
let
them
be
called
,
the
Housholder
.
Conueniunt
rebus
nomina
saepe
suis
,
I
trust
that
either
their
Ancestor
(
I
mean
Salomons
Text
)
who
was
a
Preacher
,
from
which
I
haue
lineally
deriued
them
.
Or
at
the
least
,
some
Aungell
of
God
,
may
giue
me
(
with
blessed
Zachary
)
a
sufficient
warrant
,
to
take
Tables
and
write
,
Their
name
is
the
Housholder
,
To
conclude
therefore
,
right
Noble
and
happy
Earle
and
Countesse
,
you
haue
already
begun
as
much
as
I
haue
obserued
,
your
Family
,
and
Domesticall
affaires
are
handled
,
not
as
though
their
Gouernors
were
but
twenty
,
yea
rather
,
sixtie
yeare
olde
.
You
haue
done
as
well
for
the
time
(
I
thinke
by
inspiration
)
as
all
the
Diuines
could
haue
aduised
you
,
Purging
out
the
old
leauen
from
the
family
to
you
descended
.
Yet
giue
mee
leaue
to
say
one
thing
,
for
the
enemy
of
mankind
is
cunning
.
When
Humericus
purged
his
Court
from
the
Manichees
(
a
pestilent
kind
of
Haeretickes
,
which
made
two
Gods
)
in
crept
the
Arrians
,
which
denied
Christ
to
bee
God
:
and
thereof
,
there
was
a
vision
:
First
,
a
holy
man
saw
a
Church
full
of
men
,
and
presently
after
they
were
driuen
foorth
,
bee
saw
it
full
of
Swine
.
Vines
,
for
his
owne
glory
,
for
the
Church
,
for
your
Nation
,
for
your
families
,
&
for
your
owne
soules
estate
,
which
I
intreate
you
to
prefer
before
all
earthly
honour
and
glory
,
and
so
I
rest
.

your
Honours
command

open
to
all
that
are
to

praised
,
as
that
is
open
to
all
that
are
to
be
relieued
.
If
they
want
,
you
examine
not
their
Religion
,
for
GOD
hath
made
you
a
feeder
,
and
not
a
corrector
;
the
faults
of

You

Auizare

,
you

in
your

and
charity
.
Well
,
God
hath
made
you
happie
,
in
that
you
are
able
to
giue
:
and
I
hope
,
that
as
one
of
your
eyes
is
opened
,
&
seeth
the
obiect
of
your

,
and
the

so
in

Amen

,
Farewell
.
Maister
LENNARD
,
YOu
are
a
Housholder
by
birth
,
for
your
aged
and
most
prouident
Father
,
was
the
best
that
euer
I
knew
,
except
yourselfe
.
You
have
truly
performed
his
last
charge
to
you
,
which
was
to
doe
the
like
.
You
haue
done
it
in
two
Counties
,
Kent
hath
missed
you
,
Seuenoke
(
the
place
of
my
birth
and
education
)
hath
wept
for
your
absence
:
Sussex
hath
found
you
,
and
God
prouided
for
you
therein
,
the
noble
Patrimony
of
the
Dacres
of
the
South
.
So
that
now
,
I
cannot
decide
,
whether
your
worthy
father
your
noble
wife
(
being
a
Baronesse
by
birth
,
and
most
louing
to
you
)
or
your
owne
disposition
,
haue
made
you
happiest
.
He
blessed
you
as
Isaac
did
Iacob
,
she
enriched
you
,
and
ennobled
you
,
as
Acsah
did
Othniell
.
But
your selfe
is
best
to
your selfe
,
obeying
Father
,
honouring
wife
,
feeding
many
,
good
to
all
.
Let
your
latter
end
be
late
,
and
all
your
posterity
possesse
the
same
blessings
,
till
the
worlds
end
.
And
for
your selfe
,
I
will
pray
for
your
reward
,
that
if
it
bee
Gods
will
and
pleasure
,
you
may
haue
such
rewarde
at
one
time
or
other
,
as
had
Miltiades
.
Herod
.
lib.
6
They
were
Thracians
,
called
Dolonci
.
When
the
inhabitants
of
Hellesponte
Chersonesus
,
were
warned
by
the
Oracle
,
that
they
shold
chuse
him
for
the
Prince
and
restorer
of
their
Country
,
who
did
first
of
all
inuite
them
to
his
house
after
their
departure
out
of
the
Temple
,
who
passing
by
this
Miltiades
,
and
hee
by
their
apparrel
knew
them
to
be
strangers
,
hee
called
to
them
,
and
offered
them
entertainment
in
his
house
,
which
they
accepted
,
and
the
next
day
they
shewed
him
the
Oracle
,
and
intreated
him
to
go
with
them
,
&
possesse
their
Countries
principality
,
which
thing
hee
did
,
and
happily
enioyed
many
yeares
,
the
reward
of
his
hospitality
.
Euen
so
,
the
Diuine
Oracles
,
I
know
,
haue
prouided
for
you
,
&
your
posterity
(
in
Testimony
that
almighty
God
loueth
Hospitality
)
more
honour
on
earth
,
Maister
PELHAM
,
WHo
may
in
all
your
Country
say
better
then
you
?
My

was
the
Lorde
of
Laughton
.
it
is
a
regal
Bird
:
you
(
if
I
be
not
deceiued
)
are
descended
of
that
race
.
Royall
thinges
do
therefore
become
you

(
Good
Sir
)
let
me
not
slatter
you
,
the
fame
and
name
of
your
Antecessours
,
haue
long
sounded
in
those
partes
.
Honour
of
Armes
commended
your
Father
and
Vncle
:
Herodes
Atticus
did
to
Bradeas
,
his
Wiues
Brother
,
when
hee
had
praised
his
race
and
descent
,
and
yet
beeing
vnwoorthy
himselfe
,
Maister
BLOVNT
,
YOu
are
my
latest
acquaintance
,
&
therefore
with
you
I
must
conclude
,
not
as
the
least
,
but
as
the
vpper
most
in
my
hart
,
and
if
I
would
praise
you
for
houskeeping
,
you
might
giue
me
leaue
to
say
as
much
of
you
as
of
the
residue
,
and
in
your
proportion
equall
to
the
best
.
For
with
the
Centurion
,
you
haue
euer
loued
our
Nation
,
I
meane
the
Preaohers
:
&
vnto
your
commendation
do
al
the
Prophets
,
and
Children
of
the
Prophets
,
giue
Testimony
.
You
and
your
nobly
borne
&
minded
wife
,
Lazarus
,
Mary
and
Martha
,
meate
drink
,
entertainment
&
obedience
,
&
with
Onesiphorus
sought
them
out
,
being
not
ashamed
of
their
chains
.
So
as
Candala
Q.
of
Panonia
,
&
neece
to
Lewis
the
12.
of
France
,
said
to
the
Venetians
,
for
her
royall
entertainment
,
that
she
neuer
knew
her selfe
to
be
Queene
,
til
she
came
to
their
teritory
:
so
may
the
Preachers
say
,
they
know
not
themselues
to
bee
Christes
Ministers
,
til
they
come
to
your
house
.
The
Lorde
shewe
mercy
to
this
house
,
and
the
peace
of
Christ
(
which
the
Apostles
preached
)
and
the
sonne
of
peace
rest
in
it
to
the
worlds
end
.
So
be
it
.
FInally
vnto
al

Noble

Worshipfull

,
I
present
this
Treatise

for

Who
keepeth
the

?
the
Housekeeper
.
Who
relieueth
the
Widdow
?
the
Housholder
.
Who
traineth
vp

in
the
feare
of

,
and

of

and

?
the
Housholder
.
Who
norisheth
Arts
,
Learning
,
and
them
that
serue
at
the
Altar
?
but
the
Housholder
that
payeth
Tythes
.
Who
maintaineth
the
world
,
and
defendeth
the
Countrey
?
the
Housholder
;
who
hauing
a
posterity
,
loueth
it
thrice
so
well
as
the
barren
,
&
mariage-hating
Inmate
.
Who
is
a
monster
among
men
?
hated
,
of
God
,
disdained
of
the
angels
,
shame
of
his
Parents
,
&
burden
to
his
countrey
,
but
he
that
liueth
,
by
whom
no
other
liueth
;
that
is
,
no
Housholder
,
and
yet
rich
enough
:
no
liker
a
Christian
,
then
an
Ape
is
like
a
man
,
whose
flesh
is
not
good
for
meat
,
as
a
sheepes
,
nor
his
back
for
burthen
,
as
the
horse
and
Asse
,
nor
skins
for
warmth
and
Ornament
,
as
the
Conies
,
Squirrels
,
and
Martins
,
nor
good
to
keep
a
house
as
a
Bandogge
.

You
renowned
Housholders
,
that
loue
this
kind
of
life
,
purge
out
of
your
families
,
the
Drones
which
eate
and
consume
that
whereuppon
the
Bees
should
liue
;
ô
drunkennesse
,
the
horror
of
Religion
,
the
consumer
of
youth
and
strength
,
the
deuourer
of
al
goodnesse
,
the
bane
of
the
Housholder
,
can
no
iudgment
of
God
or
man
,
dry
thee
vp
,
but
like
Deucalions
floude
,
thou
must
ouerrun
and
ouerslow
all
,
except
two
onely
:
the
Temperate
,
and
the
Religious
?
Stand
vp
ye
worthies
of
the
time
,
finde
a
remedy
for
this
euil
,
or
else
your
honor
is
in
the
dust
,
in
the
Kennell
.
For
as
when
your
best
lande
is
ouerflowed
,
it
yeeldeth
nothing
:
so
if
you
suffer
your
families
to
be
drenched
in
this
vice
,
rottennesse
&
barrennesse
will
deuoure
you
all
.
It
maketh
your
families
like
Fennes
,
&
the
ditches
of
Marish
Land
,
wherein
nothing
but
Snakes
and
Serpentes
,
and
vgly
Frogges
doe
ingender
.
It
is
the
pit
of
hell
,
as
out
of
hell
no
man
can
come
againe
;
so
out
of
drunkennesse
are
none
recouered
.

Be
diligent
to
know
the
estate
of
thy
flocke
,
and
take
heed
to
thy
heards
.

For
riches
remaine
not

And

Crowne

The
Hay
discouereth
it
felfe
,
&
the
grasse
appeareth
,
and
the
hearbs
of
the
Mountaine
are
to
be
gathered
.
26
The
Lambes
are
for
they
cloathing
,
and
the
male
Goats
a
price
of
the
field
.
27
And
let
the
milke
of
thy
Goats
be
sufficient
for
the
food
of
thy
family
,
and
for
the
sustenance
of
thy
Maidens
.
WHatsoeuer
is
Life
(
according
to
mans
weake
vnderstanding
)
must
either
be
vegetatiue
or
growing
,
as
in
Plantes
;
Sensitiue
,
ye●
without
motion
,
as
in
the
Oyster
and
such
like
;
Sence
and
motion
,
as
in
all
Beastes
,
Fishes
,
&
Fowles
;
and
lastly
,
Reason
,
as
in
Aungelles
and
Men.
Now
,
almighty
God
hath
giuen
vnto
Man
all
these
:
Growth
,
with
the
Plantes
;
Sence
and
motion
with
the
Beastes
;
Grauity
of
substance
with
al
corporeal
things
;
Spirituality
&
reason
with
the
Aungels
:
that

Maiesty

Life
and
the
Fountaine
from
whence
issueth
all
other
life
,
it
may
most
aptly
agree
with
vs
,
not
onely
that
we
liue
,
but
that
we

then
liue
,

that
in
him
we
liue
,
&
moue
,
and
haue
our
being
.
And
verily
,
seeing
we
participate
in
the
variety
and
dissimilitude
of
so
many
creatures
,
it
is
no
maruell
,
although
the
faces
,
and
inclinations
of
so
many
men
,
bee
also
so
various
,
diuers
,
and
estranged
one
from
another
:
for
our
minds
are
as
many
as
our
persons
,
and
our
sences
more
then
our
heades

of

,
ô

(
saith
S.

Would
God

might
perish

but
that
cannot
bee

for

destroyed
them

there
was
not
one
,
no
not
one
,
and
yet
for
strength
thirty
and
one
Worthies
,
Among
a
thousand
men
I
haue
found
one
;
2
There
be
foure
things
whereby
a
man
is
declared
a
perfect
man
:
First
,
Wisedome
,
whereby
he
teacheth
himselfe
and
others
.
Secondly
,
Gouernment
,
whereby
hee
ruleth
himselfe
and
others
.
Thirdly
,
Frugality
and
Labour
,
whereby
he
prouideth
for
himself
&
others
.
Fourthly
,
Liberality
,
and
Mercie
,
whereby
hee
feedeth
himselfe
and
others
:
All
these
make
a
perfect
man
,
and
without
them
,
our
perfection
is
imperfection
and
lamenesse
:
And
all
these
were
in
Salomon
,
a
Type
of
the
mirrour
of
perfection
,
Iesus
Christ
.
First
,
he
was
wiser
then
all
his
predecessors
,
and
taught
himselfe
and
others
,
as
appeareth
by
his
writinges
:
Secondly
,
he
was
of
excellent
gouernment
,
for
he
was
the
King
of
peace
,
or
a
peaceable
King
.
Thirdly
,
his
frugality
,
in
laying
vp
graine
,
feeding
and
breeding
of
Cattle
,
and
building
of
houses
,
for
himselfe
and
other
,
was
great
,
yea
he
made
gold
and
Siluer
like
stones
in
Ierusalem
Fourthly
,
Salomon
,
h●
deliuereth
all
these
in
my
Text
vnto
other
,
first
expressed
in
his
own
person
.
First
,
his
Wisedome
,
whil●
he
aduiseth
,
Be
diligent
to
know
th●
state
of
thy
flocke
,
&c.
Secondly
,
h●●
Gouernment
,
while
he
saith
,
Th●
riches
indure
not
alway
,
nor
th●
Crowne
from
generation
to
gener●tion
;
intimating
hee
had
tasted
〈◊〉
Crowne
and
riches
.
Thirdly
,
h●●
Frugality
and
Labour
,
The
hay
di●couereth
it selfe
,
and
the
grasse
appeareth
,
and
the
hearbes
of
the
mountaines
are
to
be
gathered
:
Namely
,
for
the
vse
and
fodder
of
men
and
Beasts
:
and
because
money
&
garments
are
also
the
beauty
and
spirit
of
a
family
,
especially
if
they
bee
well
gotten
;
hee
teacheth
how
to
obtaine
them
,
while
he
saith
,
The
Lambes
are
for
thy
cloathing
,
and
the
Goats
a
price
of
the
fielde
,
(
Viz.
)
to
get
by
sale
and
exchange
of
them
,
Money
,
for
other
commodities
.
Lastly
,
his
liberality
and
mercy
,
in
house-keeping
,
and
let
the
milke
of
thy
Goats
be
sufficient
for
the
foode
of
thy
family
,
and
the
sustenance
of
thy
Maides
.
The
first
thing
is
Wisedome
,
obserued
in
Salomon
by
Collection
,
because
out
of
the
fulnesse
of
his
Wisedome
,
he
giueth
Counsell
for
other
:
a
note
,
which
I
heere
note
,
not
out
of
one
word
onely
of
my
Text
,
but
out
of
all
of
them
togither
,
and
I
trust
not
out
of
order
,
or
curiosity
of
nicety
,
but
naturally
,
as
the
scope
of
my
Text
giueth
me
occasion
,
considering
my
Preface
▪
and
therefore
I
will
speake
of
it
at
this
time
in
my
visitation
of
this
place
,
after
many
yeares
absence
,
that
although
you
neede
it
not
in
regarde
of
your
continued
instruction
,
yet
I
will
endeauour
(
that
I
may
be
remembred
when
I
am
gone
)
to
helpe
forwarde
your
Faith
and
Wisedome
both
together
,
wherein
the
boundes
that
I
will
walk
,
shall
be
Truth
;
my
matter
,
Plainnesse
;
and
my
Method
,
Brevity
.

Salomon
is
therefore
wise
,
because
he
teacheth
and
giueth
Counsel
of
all
thinges
,
from
the
Court
and
Crowne
,
to
the
Cart
;
from
the
Maister
to
the
Seruant
,
from
the
Cofer
full
of
Golde
,
to
the
Barne
full
of
Hay
;
from
the
Family
full
of
Men
and
Maid-seruantes
,
to
the
Field
and
Commons
,
stored
with
Cattle
and
Flockes
:
him
and
his
Wisedome
,
let
vs
not
onely
admire
,
but
imitate
:
for
they
do
not
onely
win
the
Game
,
which
strike
the
white
marke
,
but
also
they
that
shoot
neere
the
pin
:
and
wee
also
shall
win
by
endeauour
(
although
we
misse
and
faile
to
hit
aright
)
if
we
striue
to
draw
nere
in
assurance
of
Faith
.
As
Serpents
,
Salomon
,
to
teach
your selues
and
other
,
for
Serpents
are
wise
in
daunger
,
vnto
which
our
Sauiour
alludeth
,
That
we
should
be
wise
in
&
against
persecution
,
but
the
stormes
of
tirany
are
past
,
&
the
bands
of
danger
to
our
profession
are
broken
,
The
snare
is
broken
,
and
wee
are
deliuered
.
Bee
therefore
wise
as
Salomon
,
in
the
Port
,
in
the
Harbor
,
in
your
peace
,
in
your
prosperity
.
Euery
man
taketh
himselfe
to
be
wise
,
and
therefore
euery
man
(
as
a
Physitian
)
giueth
Counsell
to
other
when
he
is
well
,
and
is
not
able
to
heale
or
aduise
himselfe
in
euill
.
The
highest
piece
and
part
of
Wisedome
is
,
to
Counsell
our selues
,
not
others
.
Salomon
neuer
failed
in
teaching
others
,
for
that
is
easie
,
but
in
teaching
himselfe
,
and
distinguishing
Vice
and
Vertue
assunder
,
when
it
came
to
practise
,
there
hee
failed
.
Salomon
hath
many
disciples
in
his
defection
,
not
in
his
perfection
,
for
they
are
prouided
for
all
but
themselues
.
He
therefore
that
will
bee
wise
,
and
giue
Counsell
to
other
,
whether
to
King
and
Superiour
,
or
to
Seruant
and
Inferiour
,
let
him
first
informe
himselfe
,
for
the
wise
man
is
a
worthy
and
excellent
Maister
,
also
a
dexterious
,
and
industrious
Scholler
:
How
can
he
teach
other
that
teacheth
not
himselfe
?
And
there
is
no
greater
foole
in
the
world
,
then
he
which
is
not
prouided
for
his
last
day
,
for
his
farewell
to
the
world
,
and
last
estate
.
His
soule
is
his
chiefest
care
,
his
greatest
price
,
his
honourable
charge
,
and
his
endlesse
hope
;
he
which
is
wise
for
his
soule
,
cannot
bee
a
foole
in
other
things
,
although
hee
knowe
them
not
,
for
they
belong
not
vnto
him
as
the
essential
Office
of
his
life
,
but
accidentally
,
and
at
pleasure
,
to
know
or
not
to
know
them
.
For
this
cause
,
or
for
the
souls
sake
,
the
wiseman
inricheth
his
mind
,
by
all
that
euer
hee
heareth
,
seeth
,
or
that
commeth
vnder
sence
or
fansie
,
by
obseruing
things
present
,
by
recording
and
calling
to
minde
things
past
and
absent
,
by
foreseeing
the
ends
and
euents
of
thinges
to
come
;
whereby
diligence
maketh
him
like
a
Prophet
for
another
life
,
for
another
world
.
Wisedome
maketh
him
giue
precepts
of
life
,
by
comparing
things
passed
,
with
things
present
,
&
iudgement
so
preuenteth
future
dangers
,
that
hee
is
neuer
at
a
losse
,
euen
for
the
things
he
misseth
,
but
he
is
still
the
wiser
by
defaults
and
defectes
,
and
like
a
wise
and
artificiall
Arithmetician
,
by
a
false
number
findeth
a
true
,
and
by
a
wrong
way
discouereth
the
right
.
His
eyes
are
like
man
and
wife
,
or
like
Dauids
hoast
,
some
went
to
fight
against
the
enemie
,
and
some
stayed
to
keepe
the
stuffe
and
carriage
:
no
more
doe
they
wander
,
both
from
home
together
,
one
still
keepeth
house
,
as
one
Pigeon
still
sitteth
on
the
Egs.
So
the
food
wherewithall
it
is
sped
abroad
,
is
not
deerely
bought
by
the
death
and
daunger
of
the
yong
ones
at
home
.
If
hee
buy
wit
,
hee
maketh
much
of
it
;
to
keepe
it
,
to
value
it
,
to
occupy
it
,
that
hee
may
haue
the
Treasure
of
knowledge
,
his
Counsels
the
infallible
Oracles
of
certainty
,
though
no
medler
,
yet
seeing
into
euery
mans
businesse
,
and
yet
best
experienced
in
his
owne
.
For
he
knoweth
,
He
that
is
wise
shall
shine
as
the
brightnesse
of
the
Firmament
,
and
he
that
turneth
many
vnto
righteousnesse
,
as
the
Stars
for
euermore
.
Heere
is
wisedome
;
namely
,
to
shine
,
and
heere
is
the
fruite
of
Wisedome
,
to
conuert
others
,
and
I
may
say
of
such
a
man
,
as
it
is
in
the
Psalme
,
Who
is
wise
that
hee
may
obserue
these
things
,
for
he
shall
vnderstand
the
louing
kindnesse
of
the
Lord
.
O
happy
man
,
which
is
such
an
obseruer
!
more
happy
,
then
by
obseruing
times
of
sowing
,
and
season
of
reaping
;
yea
,
then
Rules
of
policie
,
Precepts
of
Art
,
course
of
the
skies
,
Lord
or
Lady
,
Maister
or
Mistris
:
yet
most
happy
,
because
hee
shall
see
,
heare
,
and
knowe
,
the
louing
kindnesse
of
the
Lord
.
Heere
is
the
end
of
Wisedome
,
to
inioy
his
louing
kindnesse
,
to
know
his
wil
,
to
haue
his
Wages
,
to
worke
in
his
Vineyard
,
to
receiue
his
penny
,
to
keepe
his
Sheepe
,
to
inioy
his
Rachell
,
to
heare
his
word
,
to
possesse
his
promises
,
to
liue
in
his
feare
,
&
to
die
in
his
fauour
.
4.
Now
,
for
the
attaining
of
this
Wisedome
,
to
counsell
and
teach
our selues
and
others
,
wee
must
(
as
the
Husbandman
)
carrie
our
seede
abroade
,
out
of
the
Barne
into
the
field
,
and
as
he
for
his
increase
,
doeth
(
as
it
were
)
craue
helpe
of
the
Earth
,
of
the
Oxe
,
of
the
Plough
,
of
the
Sunne
,
of
the
Raine
;
yea
,
of
the
Marle
and
compasse
,
thinges
straunge
to
the
seede
:
so
must
wee
seeke
this
wisedome
abroad
out
of
our selues
,
in
holy
&
diuine
books
,
as
in
a
fielde
;
crauing
helpe
of
the
laborious
&
diligent
Pastor
,
of
the
assiduous
and
daily
reading
,
and
Prayer
;
of
the
powerfull
illumination
of
the
Holy-ghost
,
and
of
the
hopeful
euent
,
successe
,
and
perpetuity
of
our
diligence
.
For
our
way
to
heauen
is
by
compasse
,
as
the
Israelites
came
into
Canaan
out
of
Egipt
,
and
the
Lord
doth
exercise
vs
by
windings
and
turnings
,
and
going
out
of
the
nighest
way
,
to
humble
vs
;
for
he
could
bring
vs
a
nearer
way
to
heauen
,
to
teach
vs
to
value
&
prize
our
calling
at
a
higher
estimate
and
rate
:
for
if
the
heathen
coulde
obserue
,
that
earthly
knowledge
was
solde
for
sweat
,
much
more
woorth
is
Heauenly
wisedome
,
euen
water
and
bloud
,
which
our
Sauiour
indured
for
our
sakes
,
before
we
could
bee
conuerted
.
Turne
therefore
your
eyes
to
all
things
,
to
gather
this
wisedom
,
not
onely
to
Heauen
,
but
to
Earth
,
to
Men
,
to
Beasts
,
to
hel
,
to
seas
,
to
all
.
For
a
Heauenly
knowledge
of
earthly
thinges
,
will
helpe
to
Heauen
,
and
an
earthly
knowledge
of
heauenly
things
,
will
send
to
hell
.
He
that
will
first
see
the
Sun
when
it
ariseth
,
must
not
(
like
common
fooles
)
set
his
face
to
the
East
,
expecting
her
body
,
but
contrary
,
let
him
sasten
or
rowle
his
eies
Westward
,
vpon
the
toppes
of
hils
and
Trees
,
where
hee
shall
see
her
shining
,
before
her selfe
;
and
that
is
as
much
light
,
comfort
,
and
assurance
,
as
if
he
sawe
her selfe
;
euen
so
,
if
wee
turne
our
eyes
from
the
inscrutable
,
and
vnsearchable
Maiesty
of
the
eternall
Trinity
,
&
look
vppon
the
radiant
beames
thereof
,
shining
vppon
the
creatures
,
wee
shal
sooner
see
,
both
the
beginning
and
ending
of
our
wisedome
,
then
by
dazling
our
weake
sight
and
iudgement
,
against
the
impenetrable
body
of
his
infinite
goodnesse
,
which
yet
in
due
time
we
shall
behold
,
if
in
the
meane
season
we
remaine
contented
and
studious
,
in
his
word
,
workes
,
and
creatures
.
Saint
Basil
to
stirre
vp
the
Christians
of
his
time
,
Iohn
Baptist
giueth
place
to
Christ
,
and
the
shadowes
of
the
Law
,
to
the
substance
of
the
Gospell
:
The
said
Father
answereth
it
by
another
comparison
,
that
although
the
fruit
be
the
end
of
the
Tree
,
without
which
it
were
good
for
nothing
but
burning
,
yet
Est
aliqua
gloria
frondium
,
there
is
some
glory
and
comely
vse
of
the
very
leaues
,
which
shew
the
life
of
the
Tree
,
before
the
fruite
buddeth
,
and
also
couereth
the
fruit
in
the
tendernesse
thereof
,
against
the
violence
of
storme
&
tempest
:
euen
so
,
humaine
Learning
,
although
it
(
faile
like
the
leaues
that
fall
)
hath
glory
and
comelinesse
in
it
,
and
giueth
much
helpe
,
Honour
and
Grace
to
this
Deuine
wisedome
.
5
Where
first
of
all
,
I
cannot
but
taxe
and
reprooue
them
,
who
hauing
wit
,
youth
,
time
,
health
,
&
other
helpes
,
for
their
better
and
more
easie
accomplishment
of
this
excellent
quality
(
if
I
may
so
terme
it
)
of
Wisedome
,
yet
sit
downe
and
spend
out
their
miserable
dayes
in
vaine
pleasures
,
which
cost
them
more
deare
,
and
most
of
all
in
the
end
.
I
reade
of
a
certaine
Abbot
,
who
busying
himselfe
in
building
,
and
other
worldly
occupations
,
was
reprooued
by
his
foole
in
this
manner
:
ô
stulte
quid
facis
,
quid
te
in
huiusmodi
negotijs
,
&c.
O
foole
(
said
he
)
what
doost
thou
?
Why
art
thou
so
troubled
with
these
laborious
affaires
?
Sit
still
foole
,
sit
still
,
with
thy
good
cheere
in
thy
Parlour
,
and
thy
Whoore
in
thy
Bed-chamber
,
and
Sie
seruias
Deo
quiete
,
and
so
serue
God
in
quietnesse
.
This
foole
,
hath
the
most
part
of
voluptuous
persons
to
follow
his
Counsell
;
for
besides
their
bellies
and
their
lusts
,
they
haue
no
study
,
care
,
or
trauaile
(
and
that
which
is
worst
of
all
)
they
liue
in
an
outward
seruice
of
God
,
without
remorse
of
conscience
for
their
vanity
,
and
thinke
they
serue
God
very
sufficiently
&
quietly
;
whereas
God
calleth
to
them
euerie
day
,
in
that
renewed
reproofe
of
the
wicked
man
in
the
Parable
,
who
Bid
his
soule
take
his
ease
,
Thou
foole
this
night
God
will
fetch
away
thy
soule
from
thee
.
You
fooles
,
which
though
neuor
so
Nobly
borne
and
bred
,
nor
neuer
so
richly
prouided
for
,
with
Lands
,
liuely-hood
,
and
reuenewes
,
what
meane
you
to
spend
that
most
precious
time
,
and
wast
the
means
of
youth
,
in
Hauks
,
Hounds
,
Edifices
,
Buildings
,
Horses
,
Banquettinges
,
and
such
like
;
yea
,
euen
in
labours
,
and
toyling
at
Cart
and
Plough
,
Shop
or
Sea
,
without
respect
of
heauen
,
or
heauenly
wisedome
,
because
you
want
nothing
:
I
tel
you
,
this
yeare
,
this
month
,
this
weeke
,
this
day
,
or
peraduenture
this
night
they
wil
fetch
away
your
soule
from
you
,
oh
then
one
drop
or
dramme
of
heauenly
Grace
and
Wisedome
,
is
worth
a
whole
worlde
of
honour
,
wealth
,
ease
,
and
pleasure
,
wherein
you
haue
wallowed
,
and
destroied
your selues
.
6
But
seeing
this
worlde
is
full
of
Fooles
,
which
do
not
only
come
short
of
Salomon
,
but
plainely
reproue
him
,
and
such
as
vrge
his
example
,
I
meane
our
Theologicall
fooles
;
Fooles
in
Diuinity
,
who
like
the
Iewes
to
whome
Caiaphas
prophesied
,
vnderstand
nothing
,
and
like
the
rabble
in
the
Actes
,
know
not
wherfore
they
are
come
together
,
no
not
in
their
very
Sacred
and
holiest
assemblies
;
I
tell
you
the
hoast
of
these
Fooles
are
so
great
,
that
one
wise
man
cannot
direct
them
,
and
you
had
neede
to
pray
,
that
as
the
generation
of
Fooles
,
(
are
in
Diuine
matters
many
)
so
the
seed
of
the
righteous
(
to
conduct
)
might
also
be
many
.
There
want
labourers
in
this
haruest
,
O
Lord
send
them
foorth
,
to
turne
the
disobedient
to
the
wisedome
of
the
iust
.
They
haue
a
storie
in
Denmarke
,
that
one
Craca
a
Queene
of
that
Countrey
,
hauing
three
sonnes
,
whome
in
her
naturall
affection
she
much
loued
,
and
desired
to
promote
:
and
especially
one
amongst
the
rest
,
named
Ericus
.
She
being
giuen
to
Magicke
,
made
by
the
confection
of
three
Serpents
,
a
strange
messe
of
Broth
,
whereof
none
of
her
sonnes
would
tast
,
saue
onely
this
Ericus
,
who
eating
thereof
,
his
Mother
procured
him
the
Kingdom
,
and
he
was
afterward
called
Ericus
disertus
;
that
is
,
Ericus
the
Wise
.
We
cannot
,
I
cannot
make
any
such
confection
for
you
,
there
are
many
sicke
for
this
broth
,
but
what
need
we
go
to
the
Deuill
for
a
Medicine
to
procure
Wisedome
?
There
is
Balme
in
Gilead
,
there
is
a
Physitian
in
Israel
,
there
is
a
Prophet
in
Iudah
,
there
are
meanes
sufficient
in
the
Lords
holy
word
,
or
else
Salomon
would
neuer
haue
saide
.
Let
him
that
is
simple
&
destitute
of
vnderstanding
,
come
and
eate
of
my
meate
,
and
drinke
of
my
Wine
that
I
haue
drawne
.
Euery
man
is
become
so
wise
in
the
Lords
matters
that
he
can
teach
others
,
but
when
death
and
danger
commeth
vpon
him
,
euen
then
his
resolution
(
like
Ice
and
Snow
)
melteth
away
,
and
hee
is
then
to
seeke
of
his
soules
estate
.
Alas
,
must
fooles
become
teachers
of
the
wise
?
Or
guides
of
as
very
Ingrams
as
themselues
?
Or
shall
the
horse
teach
the
rider
?
The
Oxe
the
Husband-man
to
Plough
?
Or
the
Sowe
the
good
wife
to
spinne
?
No
verily
,
this
is
exorbitant
;
euen
so
is
it
for
Masters
and
Parents
,
and
aged
Persons
,
who
wil
be
guiding
their
Seruants
,
Children
or
youngers
,
&
yet
haue
neuer
learned
Salomons
conclusion
and
end
of
all
thinges
,
Feare
God
,
and
keepe
his
Commaundement
,
for
that
shall
bring
a
man
peace
at
the
last
.
7
Thus
haue
I
discourced
of
Wisedom
,
and
the
benefits
thereof
,
whereunto
I
will
adde
but
this
one
complaint
,
that
all
wants
and
defects
bee
sensible
,
and
their
presence
dolefull
to
them
that
feele
them
,
onely
the
want
of
heauenly
wisedome
is
not
perceiued
,
is
not
lamented
.
If
a
mans
Land
,
or
possession
,
or
leafe
bee
in
any
danger
,
presently
he
repaireth
to
a
Lawier
,
to
declare
his
case
,
either
of
offence
or
defence
,
to
secure
his
owne
:
&
worthily
,
for
wherefore
was
Law
made
?
Or
how
shall
Iustice
be
honoured
,
except
the
estates
of
men
in
the
differences
and
controuersies
of
the
world
,
may
bee
thereby
established
?
If
the
bodie
bee
any
waies
heauy
or
distempered
,
we
instantly
post
for
a
Physitian
,
to
the
end
,
that
Maladies
preuented
in
time
,
may
more
easily
be
auoided
,
and
health
preserued
;
and
we
doe
wel
herein
,
for
God
hath
not
made
vs
for
sicknes
,
but
for
health
,
and
he
which
placed
vs
in
a
Paradice
,
did
signifie
thereby
,
that
wee
coulde
not
brook
a
Desart
,
&
what
Paradice
haue
wee
now
left
,
except
our
health
?
Or
what
Desart
is
so
intollerable
as
sicknesse
?
Wherein
many
are
forsaken
of
their
friends
,
and
forget
their
dearest
selfe
.
Nay
,
if
our
Horse
or
Oxe
be
but
a
little
ill
,
and
forsake
their
meate
,
wee
send
for
a
Leach
,
to
the
end
that
it
may
bee
holpen
:
but
if
our
soule
,
sicke
of
sinne
and
folly
,
forsake
the
wholesome
food
thereof
,
tarry
at
home
,
forbeare
the
church
and
Sermons
,
despise
grace
and
Heauenly
wisedome
,
we
are
so
wise
in
our
owne
conceites
,
that
feeling
no
smart
or
paine
,
we
care
not
to
be
cured
,
but
like
mad
men
,
breake
our
bandes
,
and
set
light
by
our
best
Phisitians
,
ô
therefore
,
I
pray
God
open
our
eyes
,
that
our
souls
be
not
in
worse
case
then
our
Oxen
and
Asses
!
they
fall
and
are
sicke
,
and
find
some
to
helpe
them
vp
,
and
ease
them
;
we
fall
and
are
sicke
,
and
finde
none
to
helpe
vs
vp
,
but
like
wanton
Children
,
wee
lie
still
,
and
cry
against
them
that
would
relieue
vs
.
This
is
folly
,
this
is
an
euill
to
be
abandoned
,
and
whosoeuer
is
but
a
meane
Christian
,
as
he
blesseth
the
hande
that
feedeth
him
with
bread
,
so
let
him
blesse
the
hand
that
feedeth
him
with
knowledge
.
8
But
for
the
more
detestation
of
spirituall
folly
,
giue
mee
leaue
to
argue
against
it
,
and
disproue
it
to
your
consciences
,
that
this
rusticke
sottishnesse
and
soliditie
,
or
foolish
simplicity
in
Diuine
affaires
which
concerne
the
soule
,
may
bee
abandoned
;
for
surely
such
an
one
is
Salomons
foole
:
and
if
our
Sauiour
Christ
say
that
he
is
daunger
of
Hell
fire
,
which
saith
,
thou
foole
,
how
much
more
is
he
worthy
and
likely
to
go
to
hell
,
that
is
a
foole
,
then
he
that
calleth
a
foole
.
For
certainly
,
if
the
wrong
to
bee
so
tearmed
,
when
one
is
not
,
be
so
inexpiable
,
as
that
it
holdeth
the
slaunderer
in
daunger
of
eternall
torment
,
what
is
not
he
worthy
of
,
that
maketh
himselfe
so
?
It
is
but
the
action
on
of
the
case
to
be
so
named
,
but
to
be
so
,
is
reall
;
and
therefore
suffereth
&
yeeldeth
greater
damage
.
Hearken
therefore
vnto
me
,
and
I
will
set
before
you
a
rowe
of
fooles
recorded
in
assured
stories
,
whom
euery
man
in
the
Letter
derideth
,
and
loueth
in
the
figure
;
that
is
,
misliketh
and
scorneth
this
folly
in
other
,
but
loueth
in
himselfe
.
9
Who
is
more
odious
in
scripture
then
Esau
,
10
We
will
leaue
Esau
and
the
folly
of
the
prophane
,
who
contrarie
to
the
wisedome
of
Salomon
,
Deuoure
holy
things
,
and
so
we
will
come
to
a
second
foole
,
and
that
was
a
couetous
foole
,
Nabal
When
Dauid
and
his
men
had
done
him
fauours
in
the
wilde
and
wide
fields
,
at
last
,
he
sent
vnto
him
for
a
recompence
,
and
yet
it
was
not
a
demand
of
any
desert
,
but
an
intreaty
for
som
necessary
victuals
for
himselfe
and
his
troope
;
which
thing
the
foole
did
not
onely
deny
,
but
to
his
perrill
,
and
the
perrill
of
all
his
family
,
reproached
Dauid
and
his
followers
,
for
Runnagates
.
And
if
his
wife
had
not
been
wiser
then
himselfe
,
it
had
not
failed
,
but
that
their
blood
had
all
beene
that
day
shed
vpon
the
ground
.
Heere
was
his
folly
,
that
would
stand
for
a
little
,
to
endaunger
all
;
to
saue
one
horse-load
of
Raisins
,
&
Bread
,
and
Wine
,
woulde
bring
himselfe
in
hazard
to
loose
the
whole
store
in
his
Barne
,
in
his
house
,
in
his
seller
,
besides
the
life
of
himselfe
,
and
his
Family
.
This
foole
wee
also
hate
&
deride
,
who
was
so
penny-wise
,
and
so
pound-foolish
.
But
are
not
many
of
Nabals
haters
,
Nabals
followers
?
Many
of
his
Scorners
,
his
Disciples
?
Yes
verily
,
for
the
very
same
men
,
to
saue
their
wealth
together
,
deny
not
onely
to
Dauid
;
that
is
,
to
men
in
want
,
that
which
should
bee
the
fruite
and
worke
of
mercy
,
but
vnto
the
Church
,
the
Lords
Ministers
,
their
poore
and
iust
deserued
portions
,
pensions
,
&
Tythes
;
whereby
their
priuate
cofers
(
being
not
sanctifyed
vnto
holyvses
)
are
for
a
while
stuffed
with
the
poore
Church-mens
liuinges
,
(
like
Bladders
with
wind
)
and
then
commeth
the
Lord
with
one
little
pricke
,
and
letteth
all
the
whole
store
fly
away
from
their
posterity
.
A
Reuerend
Byshop
in
our
nation
,
Couetousnesse
bringeth
nothing
home
.
And
so
we
take
our
leaue
of
Nabal
.
11
In
the
next
place
commeth
the
proud
foole
Rehoboam
,
(
sauing
the
honour
due
vnto
Kings
)
so
we
will
be
bold
to
stile
him
,
although
he
were
King
Salomons
sonne
.
His
folly
was
,
that
when
people
came
vnto
him
,
and
desired
a
release
of
his
Fathers
impositions
(
which
thing
the
Elders
of
Israel
perswaded
him
vnto
)
by
one
proude
and
scornefull
aunswere
,
following
the
Counsell
of
his
young
Minions
&
Play-fellowes
,
he
lost
ten
Tribes
;
that
is
,
ten
partes
of
Dauids
Kingdome
at
once
,
and
left
himselfe
only
but
two
.
Heere
is
a
foole
indeed
,
for
it
is
impossible
for
a
proud
man
to
bee
wise
,
and
Princes
cannot
hold
their
Subiectes
so
fast
tyed
in
allegiance
vnto
them
with
bloude
and
terrour
,
as
they
may
doe
with
compassion
&
blandishing
words
;
Curtesie
being
a
great
Iewell
in
a
Princes
crowne
;
Compassion
the
handle
,
Iustice
the
edge
,
and
Mercie
the
point
of
a
Kings
sword
.
But
dyed
Rehoboam
childlesse
?
&
hath
he
no
suruiuors
in
his
State
?
I
will
not
meddle
with
kings
,
nor
Lords
,
or
great
persons
,
but
let
vs
come
to
our selues
,
and
such
as
are
our
equals
.
Austen
the
Monke
,
(
whom
the
Papistes
call
the
English-mens
Apostle
)
lost
all
the
Brittish
Monks
by
his
pride
:
Austen
,
loose
our
Friends
,
our
Seruantes
,
our
Neighbors
harts
,
by
our
Lord-like
and
proud
behauiour
;
we
care
not
whom
we
deuoure
,
vpon
whom
we
tread
,
so
we
may
rise
;
some
by
slaunders
,
some
by
fury
,
some
by
folly
and
truth
not
to
be
reuealed
,
fill
the
worlde
with
contentions
,
rending
the
Wife
from
the
Husband
,
the
Husband
from
the
wife
;
the
Father
from
the
Sonne
,
the
Sonne
from
the
Father
;
the
Lorde
and
Maister
from
the
Seruant
,
and
the
Seruant
from
the
Lorde
and
Maister
,
the
Land-lorde
from
the
Tenant
,
and
the
Tenant
from
the
Landlord
:
that
there
is
not
so
much
loue
and
good
wil
left
in
the
Countrey
,
as
was
betwixt
Balaam
&
his
Asse
,
when
he
did
beat
him
.
I
wil
speake
plainly
;
Some
like
Rehoboam
speak
proudly
;
others
(
like
the
rebellious
Israelites
)
take
it
as
peeuishly
,
they
will
haue
as
little
charity
in
their
eares
,
as
other
haue
in
their
tongues
,
a
word
&
a
blow
,
friendship
is
no
heauier
then
a
feather
,
which
euery
blast
of
wind
tosseth
too
and
fro
.
The
losse
of
sixepence
will
cause
a
sute
,
the
gaine
of
a
shilling
will
make
a
Traitour
,
and
they
are
more
ready
to
follow
a
Crowne
of
Gold
,
then
an
Angel
of
Heauen
All
their
varnishing
is
outward
;
they
are
like
Gyants
pictures
,
terrifying
the
beholders
,
and
if
they
haue
not
power
to
be
cruell
inough
in
their
owne
persons
,
of
their
owne
estate
,
then
they
flye
to
the
mightier
,
and
incense
them
,
abusing
good
Natures
by
false
tales
,
and
force
them
,
instead
of
milke
,
to
draw
blood
from
their
Inferiours
,
&
so
they
make
themselues
fooles
,
for
they
liue
without
credite
,
and
die
without
pitty
;
sauing
,
It
is
pitty
they
die
no
sooner
.
12
Yet
behold
more
fooles
then
these
:
And
now
,
wee
bring
in
the
man
in
the
Gospel
,
who
in
presumption
of
long
life
,
destroied
his
Barnes
,
and
builded
greater
,
and
bad
his
soule
take
his
ease
,
eat
drink
,
and
take
pastime
,
for
it
had
much
goods
laide
vppe
for
many
yeares
:
Ah
foole
(
saide
God
)
this
night
they
wil
fetch
away
thy
soule
from
thee
.
And
worthily
and
rightly
is
he
a
Foole
,
whom
God
calleth
a
foole
,
for
his
iudgement
cannot
be
deceiued
,
his
insight
into
mans
heart
is
so
perfect
,
that
it
cannot
erre
:
for
he
hath
anatomized
and
dissected
more
;
then
all
the
Physitians
that
euer
haue
beene
.
But
who
doth
so
now
adaies
?
Who
blesseth
himselfe
in
his
riches
?
Seeketh
them
,
but
to
spend
them
;
spendeth
them
,
but
on
himselfe
;
keepeth
,
but
for
his
pleasure
;
and
maketh
account
to
liue
many
yeares
?
I
will
tell
you
who
:
he
that
wil
not
giue
,
because
he
cannot
tell
what
hee
shall
want
before
hee
die
:
For
,
although
Almighty
God
haue
dealt
neuer
so
liberally
with
him
,
giuing
many
houses
,
and
much
money
,
that
was
borne
to
none
;
the
sixt
part
whereof
,
could
haue
satisfied
him
,
before
he
had
it
;
now
he
will
not
trust
his
bounty
any
more
,
but
out
of
his
owne
prouident
wretchednesse
,
be
vnmercifull
to
other
,
for
feare
of
want
,
while
they
wallow
in
all
surfet
and
abundance
.
Againe
,
they
are
such
fooles
,
who
neuer
cease
trauailing
and
labouring
,
all
for
their
liuing
,
as
if
they
had
at
the
least
a
lease
of
a
thousand
years
for
their
life
,
dealing
with
their
soules
,
as
Hackney
men
with
their
horses
,
giuing
them
no
rest
till
they
bee
dead
;
And
then
,
such
soules
cannot
rest
,
because
if
their
bodies
giue
them
so
little
rest
while
they
bee
in
them
,
(
who
yet
haue
great
occasion
to
honour
them
)
the
deuils
,
into
whose
power
the
soules
of
such
men
doe
passe
,
will
shewe
them
much
lesse
fauour
,
hauing
no
other
ioy
,
but
to
afflict
&
torment
the
soules
that
themselues
haue
beguiled
:
For
if
the
old
Birde
be
vnkinde
to
her
young
one
,
it
must
look
for
lesse
fauour
in
the
Tallant
of
the
Haukes
.
Therefore
,
neuer
gather
or
keepe
,
in
hope
of
long
life
(
but
onely
to
obey
Gods
commandement
,
who
biddeth
thee
labour
)
for
as
the
shaddow
runneth
from
him
that
followeth
it
,
so
doth
long
life
from
him
that
hopeth
after
it
.
Life
(
saith
Ioh
)
is
giuen
to
him
that
desireth
to
dye
.
And
so
we
leaue
these
fools
,
praying
God
for
them
,
that
they
may
learne
to
unmber
their
dayes
,
and
apply
their
hearts
to
Wisedome
.
13
We
read
of
another
generation
of
Spirituall
fooles
in
the
Gospel
(
called
Pharisees
)
and
them
our
Sauiour
called
Fooles
;
Blinde
,
and
leaders
of
the
blind
,
because
they
were
in
nothing
so
wise
,
as
to
beguile
themselues
,
and
by
obseruation
of
their
owne
Traditions
,
they
made
the
Law
of
God
of
no
effect
,
auoyding
(
by
corrupt
and
Haereticall
Glosses
)
the
plainest
Text
of
Gods
holy
word
,
such
as
our
Sauiour
in
those
two
Chapters
alledgeth
:
how
wise
also
,
are
many
rus
set
and
Rusticke
persous
,
to
auoide
euery
one
of
Gods
Lawes
,
hauing
knowledge
in
nothing
but
to
defend
their
sins
.
Tell
them
of
swearing
,
they
say
,
the
Law
respecteth
iudgement
;
Of
the
Sabaoth
,
they
say
,
play
is
not
forbidden
,
but
labour
;
Of
coueting
house
&
land
,
they
say
,
to
desire
to
buy
,
is
not
to
couet
;
and
so
they
condemn
God
,
and
iustifie
Ahab
.
Sometime
they
alledge
,
that
the
Gospell
is
for
the
Church
of
Rome
;
sometime
,
the
Brownists
at
Amsterdam
:
somtime
,
they
snatch
at
Gods
mercy
,
when
their
owne
sinnes
are
taxed
,
&
refuse
his
lustice
;
sometime
againe
,
Gods
iustice
,
when
they
woulde
haue
their
enemies
plagued
,
and
disclaime
mercie
.
Thus
,
they
dare
not
deny
the
Scriptures
,
yet
they
will
not
confesse
them
,
but
in
their
owne
sence
.
They
make
no
reckoning
of
Prayer
,
except
in
the
Church
,
and
there
they
are
superstitious
,
and
a
Holy
day
is
more
then
a
Saboth
:
If
they
be
inclined
to
superstitious
fasting
,
they
haue
Text
for
that
:
If
to
prophane
eating
and
drinking
,
they
haue
another
for
that
.
The
pride
of
womens
Garments
,
in
Esay
and
S.
Peter
,
was
il
in
those
times
,
but
now
(
they
say
)
it
is
good
,
(
so
the
holy
Ghost
was
blinde
,
and
saw
not
what
shoulde
suite
with
our
times
.
)
The
deceitfulnesse
of
Merchants
,
and
oppression
of
rich
men
,
spoken
against
by
Esay
,
Ezechiel
,
and
Michah
,
was
for
the
Tyrians
and
the
Iewes
,
but
all
our
honest
Merchants
are
exempted
,
if
once
we
haue
deliuered
our
wares
,
and
receiued
our
mony
and
security
;
and
to
conclude
,
twenty
deceits
in
Wares
,
in
writinges
,
in
words
,
are
a
farre
lesse
sinne
,
then
to
misse
paiment
of
a
little
money
at
the
day
,
although
it
come
on
the
Morrowe
.
But
I
will
leaue
these
Fooles
,
Which
straine
at
Gnats
,
and
swallow
Camels
,
praying
God
,
that
his
word
may
be
our
Wisedome
,
and
our
minds
be
subiect
to
his
direction
.
14
Now
we
wil
leaue
the
scriptures
,
and
descend
to
the
humaine
Chroniclers
of
Fooles
;
and
first
,
we
wil
shew
you
the
stories
of
such
follies
,
as
haue
beene
more
generall
,
and
then
them
that
were
more
speciall
,
and
by
Gods
assistaunce
,
apply
both
to
our
purpose
:
and
let
my
plainnesse
be
excused
,
because
I
desire
to
bee
remembred
,
and
to
profit
.
We
read
of
a
certaine
people
,
(
called
Atlantes
)
who
dwelling
neare
the
burning
line
,
Blackamoores
,
and
their
bodies
are
not
so
blacke
without
,
as
this
folly
maketh
their
soules
black
within
.
So
are
these
in
story
,
but
how
are
they
resembled
in
figure
?
Marry
against
those
Wretches
I
must
apply
it
,
who
for
their
owne
particular
,
would
remoue
the
gospell
,
the
health
of
vs
all
;
the
Magistrate
,
the
peace
of
vs
all
;
&
Learniing
,
the
light
of
vs
all
:
because
for
the
gospell
,
they
say
other
Nations
disgrace
them
,
and
persecute
them
;
by
the
Magistrate
,
they
are
sometime
punished
,
and
forced
to
right
against
their
will
:
by
Learning
,
they
are
ouertopped
in
Vertue
and
honour
;
Therefore
they
are
weary
of
the
Gospel
,
as
the
Girsites
were
of
Christ
;
they
raile
on
the
Magistrate
,
because
they
may
not
be
protected
in
their
wrong
;
and
they
would
pul
downe
Learning
,
Colledges
,
Byshopprickes
,
Cathedralles
,
and
all
Ecclesiastical
dignities
,
that
they
may
raigne
alone
,
and
be
the
onely
Lordes
of
Vertue
and
Vice
,
leauing
no
better
men
in
the
state
,
then
Merchants
,
Faulkners
,
Hunters
,
Riders
,
and
poore
Carters
and
Seruing-men
,
to
do
their
base
Offices
.
These
are
verier
Fooles
then
the
Atlantes
,
for
beside
their
vaine
opinions
,
neither
Church
,
nor
Magistrate
,
nor
Learning
,
doeth
them
any
harme
,
but
much
good
:
and
whereas
,
the
Moores
curse
that
which
burneth
them
,
&
scorcheth
them
to
blacknesse
,
these
wretches
finde
fault
with
those
that
warme
them
,
and
wash
them
to
whitenes
.
Whensoeuer
therefore
,
you
heare
any
open
their
mouths
against
any
of
these
,
then
remember
this
story
,
and
knowe
,
that
no
pretext
of
reason
can
excuse
them
,
either
from
madnesse
or
folly
:
For
we
may
not
buy
our
Grace
with
other
nations
,
(
if
we
be
disgraced
)
with
the
losse
of
the
Gospell
;
neither
will
we
suffer
our
Rulers
to
be
despised
for
the
pleasure
and
partiality
of
Malefactious
offendors
;
nor
so
much
as
draw
the
Curtain
vpon
Learning
,
for
the
tender
eyes
of
any
ignorant
vaine
men
whatsoeuer
;
And
so
Lord
,
If
these
men
curse
,
yet
blesse
thou
our
church
,
our
King
,
our
State
,
our
Learning
,
our
People
,
for
euermore
.

abhominations
;
Behold
more
fooles
.
We
read
of
a
strange
kind
of
foolish
people
,
called
,
Psylli
,
in
Affrica
,
who
were
of
a
very
low
stature
of
bodie
,
but
of
a
much
lower
and
meaner
wit
and
conceipt
.
For
they
,
hauing
a
Citty
much
annoyed
by
the
South-winde
,
vpon
a
season
,
espying
their
opportunity
,
in
a
calme
and
peaceable
weather
,
armed
themselues
to
go
out
into
the
sandy
Sea
,
or
wildernesse
of
sand
,
to
seeke
this
their
enemy
,
the
South-winde
,
and
to
bid
it
battell
,
hoping
vtterly
to
vanquish
it
,
so
as
it
might
neuer
more
blow
vpon
them
:
while
they
ranged
too
and
fro
,
to
seeke
this
their
aduersary
,
suddainely
the
Windes
arose
,
and
so
tossed
the
sand
vppon
them
,
that
in
a
short
space
they
were
all
swallowed
vp
therewith
.
These
are
worthily
punnished
for
their
folly
(
will
euery
man
say
)
for
what
can
a
sharp
sword
do
against
the
cold
winde
?
No
more
,
then
to
cast
stones
;
and
what
simplicitie
were
it
to
thinke
,
that
the
Winde
were
a
liuing
creature
,
and
had
eyther
bloud
or
spirit
to
loose
?
Or
if
it
had
,
that
mortal
men
could
meet
or
match
it
?
Well
,
out
of
these
sands
which
drowned
these
Psylli
people
,
are
arose
a
generation
,
almost
as
foolish
as
they
;
Namely
,
those
which
think
by
carnal
means
to
ouercome
Spirituall
daungers
.
For
,
if
the
soule
haue
no
affinitie
with
Golde
,
the
one
being
a
Corporeall
,
the
other
a
Spirituall
substance
,
what
is
there
in
Magical
inchauntment
,
as
a
Fishes
Liuer
,
to
driue
away
a
Deuill
?
And
Gold
to
satisfie
for
mens
sinnes
?
the
griefe
of
Conscience
,
cannot
be
cured
by
Musicke
,
nor
carnal
Precepts
ouerthrow
our
Spirituall
foe
.
Your
spirituall
daungers
are
greatest
,
therefore
trust
in
the
Lord
,
who
is
a
spirit
,
and
therefore
fittest
to
dispel
&
conquer
them
;
but
as
for
King
,
or
Man
,
or
Horse
,
or
Speare
,
or
Spel
,
or
Medicine
,
they
cannot
help
the
soule
against
the
Lordes
wrath
.
It
is
best
to
yeild
our
bodies
to
Spirituall
blastes
,
and
let
the
minde
bee
compassed
about
with
him
,
whom
Winde
and
Seas
obey
.
Honesty
externall
,
is
a
necessarie
Armour
against
the
malice
of
man
,
yet
our
Spirituall
foe
wil
not
feare
it
,
vnlesse
it
be
accompanied
with
Prayer
and
Spirituall
Weapons
also
.
16
Thus
haue
I
shewed
you
the
more
generall
Fooles
,
now
I
will
proceede
against
the
more
particular
and
speciall
.
And
in
the
first
place
I
will
ranke
the
Hypocrite
,
which
taketh
but
the
vaile
or
garment
of
Religion
;
letting
goe
the
pithe
and
Marrow
thereof
.
I
may
wel
compare
him
to
that
Asinus
Cumanus
,
Cuma
.
An
Asse
finding
a
Lyons
skin
,
to
the
end
to
make
himselfe
more
terrible
to
the
foolish
Citizens
,
put
himself
thereinto
,
and
then
ietted
fearefully
vp
and
downe
in
the
same
,
to
the
terrour
of
as
many
of
that
Cittie
as
saw
him
,
euery
one
thinking
him
(
indeede
to
be
a
Lyon
:
and
when
he
had
helde
them
a
good
time
in
that
dreadful
opinion
,
at
last
,
a
stranger
came
that
way
,
who
hearing
the
general
bruite
of
this
strange
Beast
,
was
desirous
to
see
him
,
and
at
the
very
first
,
beholding
his
eares
,
knew
him
to
bee
an
Asse
in
a
Lyons
skin
,
and
went
boldly
to
him
,
&
before
al
the
multitude
plucked
off
the
Lyons
skin
,
and
so
discouered
the
Asses
practise
.
This
(
I
know
)
doth
very
wel
suite
with
an
Hypocrite
,
first
because
no
wise
man
will
be
a
counterfaite
,
but
only
som
shalow-witted
person
,
therfore
fitly
resembled
to
an
asse
,
apt
to
bear
both
Gods
wrath
&
Mans
:
Gods
,
because
hee
disliketh
him
that
is
not
so
good
as
he
seemeth
:
Mans
,
because
men
of
this
worlde
hate
him
,
that
seemes
to
bee
good
,
although
he
be
not
.
Now
,
the
Lyons
skinne
signifieth
Christ
,
for
he
is
the
Lyon
of
the
Tribe
of
Iuda
,
in
whose
garments
wee
are
blessed
of
God
,
as
Iacob
was
of
Isaac
,
in
the
garmentes
of
his
elder
Brother
.
How
glad
are
some
men
,
if
for
a
season
they
can
counterfait
godlinesse
,
(
for
that
is
both
our
Sauiors
coate
and
skinne
)
and
then
they
beguile
simple
people
that
suspect
no
fraude
,
for
they
will
pray
,
read
,
heare
,
giue
,
praise
Vertue
,
dispraise
Vice
,
and
what
not
?
So
as
they
may
get
an
estimation
of
piety
,
to
couer
their
more
odious
and
secret
practises
.
But
GOD
shall
send
a
man
,
a
stranger
,
of
more
skill
and
Wisedome
,
to
plucke
the
skin
ouer
these
Hypocrites
eares
,
that
all
the
worlde
may
know
and
deride
this
folly
,
&
that
they
themselues
may
likewise
vnderstande
,
that
dissembled
Religion
and
Piety
shall
haue
her
shame
in
this
world
,
and
in
the
world
to
come
.
17
Worldly
men
are
also
very
much
troubled
with
Ignorance
,
&
want
of
experience
in
diuine
matters
,
(
I
meane
matters
of
Conscience
)
whereof
one
Callicon
(
a
notable
foole
)
may
giue
them
a
taste
,
Bee
ye
renewed
in
your
minde
,
and
then
the
softnes
,
sweetnesse
,
goodnesse
,
and
quietnesse
,
of
heauenly
promises
,
more
waighty
then
Feathers
shall
yeelde
eternal
rest
to
our
soules
.
18
I
wil
omit
to
speak
of
vaine
feare
,
which
taketh
away
the
wit
of
man
,
the
feares
of
the
wicked
,
which
are
causelesse
and
easelesse
:
declared
in
the
folly
of
Phanax
the
Graecian
,
who
euer
feared
the
fal
of
the
Moone
,
and
did
often
in
a
foolish
Prophetically
pitty
,
Ethiopians
,
vpon
whom
he
thought
of
necessity
the
Moone
must
fal
;
but
let
men
feare
their
falling
into
sinne
,
and
with
sin
into
hell
,
more
then
the
fall
of
the
Moone
vpon
the
earth
,
or
a
deere
yeare
,
cold
Winter
,
or
wet
Summer
.
Againe
,
I
might
speak
against
that
carelesse
sottishnesse
,
and
wilfull
ignoraunce
of
those
thinges
,
which
they
daily
hear
and
see
;
like
to
one
Amphistides
,
I
will
also
omit
,
to
discourse
against
the
folly
of
prophanesse
in
the
soules
fits
,
wherein
carnall
persons
hauing
beene
stung
in
their
consciences
,
by
some
guilt
of
sinne
presented
to
their
memory
,
by
some
Text
of
Scripture
,
or
other
person
guilty
and
priuy
to
their
offence
:
they
cast
offal
care
of
diuine
sayings
and
iudgement
;
yea
,
peraduenture
make
away
the
person
guilty
to
their
crimes
,
that
he
may
neuer
stand
vp
in
iudgment
against
them
.
These
men
are
resembled
vnto
vs
in
that
foole
,
who
beeing
in
his
bed
grieuously
bitten
with
fleas
,
did
put
out
the
Candle
,
to
the
end
they
might
not
see
him
,
19
I
will
conclude
all
,
with
another
story
,
Seeke
first
the
Kingdome
of
God
,
and
the
righteousnesse
thereof
,
and
all
other
things
shall
be
cast
vpon
you
.
And
heauie
things
come
more
easily
downeward
then
vpward
;
therefore
the
Prophet
telleth
vs
,
God
remembreth
the
Heauens
the
Heauens
the
Clouds
the
Clouds
the
Earth
,
and
the
Earth
the
people
.
So
al
blessings
must
first
be
sought
for
in
heauen
,
and
then
(
as
Agar
)
we
shal
haue
an
Angell
to
direct
vs
to
the
Fountain
of
water
on
the
earth
.
Secondly
,
another
part
of
this
folly
is
,
that
we
cannot
be
perswaded
with
this
foole
,
but
that
Heauenly
thinges
are
more
easily
accomplished
of
all
sorts
,
then
earthly
:
and
therefore
he
which
is
seuen
yeares
apprentice
to
a
Trade
,
and
all
little
enough
;
yet
an
houre
in
a
Church
at
a
Sermon
,
is
losse
of
time
in
Heauenly
matters
,
they
may
do
it
much
sooner
.
So
one
of
you
,
which
liueth
fifty
,
sixtie
,
or
seauenty
yeares
,
and
al
that
time
laboureth
in
,
and
for
the
Worlde
,
thinketh
it
enough
for
heauen
,
to
haue
a
Minister
,
and
a
few
Prayers
an
houre
or
two
before
his
death
.
These
are
our
cares
,
and
our
Articles
,
upon
these
we
passe
our
time
,
and
venture
our
soules
.
But
(
ô
Fooles
)
How
long
will
you
delight
in
foolishnesse
,
and
hate
Wisedome
!
Bee
wise
as
Serpentes
,
bee
innocent
as
Doues
.
If
you
be
onely
wise
for
this
world
,
God
wil
destroy
you
.
None
came
to
the
birth
of
Christ
on
earth
,
but
the
wise
men
in
the
East
.
There
were
more
men
in
the
East
,
but
none
of
them
looked
vppe
to
heauen
but
these
.
It
is
better
,
you
see
,
to
study
on
the
Starres
,
then
the
earth
,
thereby
wee
are
at
least
admonished
,
to
lift
vp
our
heads
,
and
looke
for
Christ
in
heauen
,
as
those
wise
men
did
heare
on
earth
.
We
shal
finde
him
,
wee
shall
see
him
,
Looke
for
him
,
hee
will
appeare
the
second
time
to
saluation
.
You
are
all
the
children
of
wisedome
,
you
must
iustifie
her
,
hearken
to
her
complaint
,
Can
your
hearts
forbeare
rending
and
yearning
to
heare
her
cry
so
earnestly
,
ô
Fooles
,
how
long
will
ye
loue
foolishnesse
,
and
scorners
delight
in
scorning
!
Be
you
turned
at
my
Correction
,
I
will
poure
out
my
minde
vnto
you
,
and
make
you
to
vnderstand
my
wordes
.
Feare
not
the
losse
of
any
thing
,
the
lacke
of
that
you
haue
she
hath
prouided
,
all
,
both
house
,
harbour
,
meate
,
Wine
,
onely
she
wanteth
you
,
you
she
calleth
.
Wisedome
hath
builded
her
house
,
she
hath
hewen
out
her
seauen
Pillars
.
Shee
hath
killed
her
fatlinges
,
drawne
her
Wine
,
and
made
ready
her
Table
.
She
hath
sent
foorth
her
Maides
(
Viz:
)
the
Preachers
,
crying
in
the
high
places
(
out
of
the
Pulpits
)
and
saying
;
He
that
is
simple
and
destitute
of
vnderstanding
,
let
him
come
,
let
him
come
and
eate
of
my
meate
which
I
haue
prepared
,
and
drinke
of
my
wine
which
I
haue
drawne
.
For
sake
your
way
ô
ye
foolish
,
and
you
shall
liue
,
and
walke
in
the
way
of
vnderstanding
.
20
So
cryeth
Wisedome
,
and
let
all
her
children
and
friends
followe
her
;
yea
,
not
onely
them
to
whom
Dauid
saith
;
Bee
you
wise
,
ô
kings
,
he
you
learned
you
that
be
Iudges
of
the
earth
.
But
euery
Maister
,
euery
Gentleman
,
euery
Cittizen
,
euery
husbandman
,
euery
Tradesman
,
euery
Labourer
,
euery
Man
and
Maid-seruant
,
euery
Olde
and
young
man
.
Receiue
instruction
&
not
Siluer
,
&
knowledge
rather
then
Gold
.
Wisedome
is
more
worth
then
precious
Stones
,
and
all
pleasures
are
not
to
be
compared
to
her
.
Striue
to
gaine
the
time
you
haue
lost
,
Striue
(
I
say
)
that
you
may
bee
rescribed
in
the
number
of
the
wise
Virgins
,
and
taken
out
of
the
number
of
the
foolish
.
We
read
of
one
Mycernius
,
that
one
tolde
him
,
(
take
what
course
he
could
)
he
should
liue
but
sixe
yeares
.
The
Prince
(
for
so
he
was
)
amazed
heereat
,
plucked
vp
his
spirits
and
saide
,
hee
would
liue
twelue
yeares
,
for
he
knew
how
to
make
twelue
of
sixe
,
and
this
was
his
course
:
hee
bad
all
sleepe
farewel
,
and
prouided
such
abundance
of
lights
,
that
whithersoere
he
went
,
or
wheresoeuer
hee
was
,
it
was
alway
as
light
as
day
,
&
so
he
thoght
he
liued
twelue
yeeres
,
because
he
waked
in
light
,
when
others
sleepe
in
darkenesse
,
which
is
a
kinde
of
death
,
one
halfe
of
our
life
beeing
alway
cut
off
or
spent
in
sleepe
.
Oh
that
we
had
so
much
wit
and
power
to
double
our
dayes
we
haue
to
liue
,
and
that
the
lightes
of
wisedome
might
neuer
be
quenched
in
our
presence
,
but
shine
about
vs
,
and
in
vs
whether
soeuer
wee
goe
,
so
shall
our
day
excell
Iosuahs
day
,
and
we
walke
in
the
day
wherein
no
man
stumbleth
.
Beloued
,
While
you
haue
the
light
,
walke
in
the
light
,
and
the
God
of
lights
and
peace
fil
you
ful
,
&
bring
euery
one
of
you
out
of
darknesse
,
and
the
shadow
of
death
,
into
the
light
of
Grace
and
Glory
,
guiding
your
feet
into
the
way
of
peace
,
Amen
.
The
second
Sermon
.
THus
did
I
discourse
of
Wisedome
and
the
wise
man
in
my
first
Sermon
,
which
was
a
necessary
circumstance
in
my
Text
,
giuing
precepts
to
all
.
Now
it
followeth
,
that
we
handle
his
wordes
,
and
looke
into
the
Marrow
of
his
prouerbiall
Doctrine
,
wherein
hee
first
instructeth
,
Be
diligent
,
and
take
heed
.
Secondly
,
he
directeth
,
to
thy
flock
,
to
thy
heards
,
that
is
;
to
al
thy
state
,
calling
,
dealing
;
priuate
,
common
,
euery
where
.
Or
by
the
Flock
you
may
vnderstand
our
goods
enclosed
within
house
or
hedge
,
by
the
Heard
,
those
things
that
are
more
common
and
wilde
abroad
,
for
the
wealth
of
those
times
consisted
in
Flockes
and
Heards
.
This
his
instruction
hee
inlargeth
by
reason
.
Secondly
by
parts
.
Thirdly
,
by
vse
.
First
,
the
reason
,
why
wee
must
looke
to
our
goodes
and
charge
is
one
,
and
that
a
mighty
and
waighty
one
.
For
riches
endure
not
alway
,
nor
the
Crowne
of
Kinges
to
all
their
generations
.
Secondly
,
the
partes
of
the
charge
,
are
the
seuerall
possessions
.
First
,
the
Hay
,
that
must
bee
mowed
.
Secondly
,
the
Grasse
,
that
must
bee
eaten
by
Cattle
,
and
not
troden
vnder
foote
.
Thirdly
,
the
hearbes
of
the
Mountaine
,
they
must
bee
gathered
;
that
is
,
Graine
and
Corne
of
the
Mountaines
for
Meate
,
Medicine
,
and
Ornament
.
Fourthly
,
the
Lambes
,
they
must
be
shorne
or
clipped
,
that
out
of
their
fleeces
we
may
fetch
garments
and
cloathing
.
Fiftly
,
the
Goates

which
is
for
the
keeping
of
a
good
house
,
when
he
saith
,
And
let
the
Milke
of
thy
Goats
be
sufficient
for
the
food
of
thy
family
and
the
sustenance
of
thy

That
is
,

not

,
for
so
hee
will
proue
thy

,
if
not
thy

sufficiently
,
and
that
out
of
thine
owne
store
,
buy
nothing
for
him
,
neither
for
thy
Maidens
,
but
that
they
may
better
looke
to
thy
Goats
and
Cattle
,
let
them
liue
vpon
their
Milke
,
that
so
they
may
learne
by
thy
example
to
be
alike
thrifty
in
time
to
come
:
but
if
once
they
finde
thee
loose
,
&
giue
them
boord-wages
,
they
wil
be
negligent
in
their
charges
,
and
bring

[
Be
diligent
.
]
That
is
,
as
if
Solomon
had
saide
,
in
all
the
wayes
of
thy
life
,
be
laborious
and
painefull
;
whatsoeuer
passeth
through
thy
hands
,
do
it
not
by
halues
,
and
slightly
,
but
let
it
still
beare
the
stampe
of
thy
diligence
,
And
if
there
bee
any
thing
to
bee
done
,
which
is
not
fit
for
thy
place
,
or
passing
thy
skil
,
yet
let
thy
eyes
behold
the
doing
thereof
;
It
is
a
vertue
(
and
no
shame
)
to
be
present
at
all
thy
affaires
.
Diligence
is
the
Mother
,
and
negligence
the
Stepmother
of
humaine
life
.
By
diligence
they
are
hatched
and
increased
,
by
negligence
they
are
destroied
and
diminished
.
If
we
look
vp
to
Diuine
and
Heauenly
thinges
,
diligence
is
exemplified
,
For
the
Angels
stand
alway
before
God
;
if
to
the
Precepts
of
the
Law
and
word
of
God
:
Thou
shalt
keepe
diligently
the
Precepts
,
Commandements
,
and
Testimonies
of
the
Lorde
thy
God
.
If
a
case
come
into
Iudgement
(
because
the
Iudge
hath
but
one
power
to
do
a
thing
once
onely
,
whether
good
or
ill
)
and
because
euery
sentence
of
a
Iudge
,
is
the
sentence
of
God
,
therefore
it
must
also
bee
done
with
diligent
inquisition
.
When
a
leprous
man
was
broght
before
the
Priests
,
She
lighteth
her
Candle
sweepeth
hir
house
,
and
searcheth
diligently
euery
Corner
.
Without
dilligence
we
can
do
nothing
.
The
difficulty
and
hardnesse
of
euery
worke
is
made
easie
&
foftned
by
diligence
:
Prudence
without
Iustice
is
naught
worth
,
Iustice
without
Prudence
is
worth
as
little
▪
Knowledge
,
without
Diligence
,
is
of
small
vse
,
Diligence
with
Knowledge
is
worth
very
much
.
The
life
of
man
is
like
an
Iron
,
which
vse
maketh
bright
,
and
rest
maketh
rusty
:
like
a
Water
,
which
standing
,
is
quickly
corrupted
,
but
running
,
remaineth
sweete
and
cleare
,
like
the
Pulse
,
which
beating
,
sheweth
life
,
but
ceasing
,
bringeth
death
.
Therefore
out
of
Salomons
precept
I
will
amplifie
this
point
three
waies
.
First
,
I
wil
shew
the
necessity
of
Diligence
.
Secondly
,
the
commendation
of
it
.
Thirdly
,
the
Commodity
thereof
.
3
Touching
the
necessity
of
diligence
,
it
was
the
ordinaunce
of
God
to
subiect
vs
all
to
labour
,
to
diligent
labour
;
yea
,
euen
to
sweat
,
immediately
after
our
first
parents
fall
,
and
I
verily
thinke
,
had
they
neuer
fallen
,
yet
without
diligence
they
could
not
haue
liued
,
the
necessity
of
all
earthly
and
humaine
affaires
requiring
the
same
.
For
by
dulnesse
,
sluggishnesse
,
and
ydlenesse
,
our
businesse
,
our
liues
labour
is
intermitted
,
omitted
,
and
destroyed
;
neither
the
worke
of
God
or
man
,
without
vse
,
exercitation
and
diligence
can
long
stand
.
Al
is
a
Talent
,
&
euery
talent
must
bee
vsed
(
not
digged
into
the
ground
)
which
cannot
be
without
diligence
.
Thrugh
want
of
exercise
,
the
Armes
of
Hercules
,
of
the
strongest
,
are
dulled
in
the
bodye
,
and
the
purest
and
sharpest
wittes
are
blunted
in
the
minde
.
We
see
that
the
Land
missing
his
Tillage
,
yeeldeth
smaller
and
worser
increase
,
&
that
which
is
often
turned
,
compassed
,
and
Ploughed
,
is
the
surer
ground
to
the
Husbandmans
content
.
The
Merchant
,
which
by
continued
diligence
,
often
cutteth
the
Seas
,
is
much
richer
then
hee
that
sitteth
at
home
,
and
doth
little
or
nothing
,
after
one
venture
or
two
.
The
Iron
,
of
round
is
not
made
flat
with
one
stroke
of
the
Smith
,
but
by
often
doubling
,
&
redoubling
the
same
.
The
Colt
cannot
bee
tamed
&
fitted
for
the
sadle
,
by
once
backing
and
bitting
,
but
by
being
euery
day
in
the
hand
of
the
rider
.
When
Lot
went
out
of
Sodome
,
he
must
doe
it
with
diligence
,
for
hee
must
be
in
Zoar
,
before
the
Sunne
rising
,
and
he
nor
they
in
his
company
must
be
so
ydle
or
carelesse
,
as
once
to
looke
backward
,
and
so
by
diligence
he
and
his
Daughters
escaped
the
fire
and
Brimstone
.
By
diligence
also
,
we
escape
Hel.
Iacob
by
his
diligent
seruice
obtained
Rahell
,
the
Starre
in
his
eyes
,
the
Iewell
of
his
heart
.
By
diligent
and
valiaunt
aduenture
,
did
Dauid
bring
the
200.
foreskins
of
the
Philistims
,
and
wan
the
Kings
Daughter
.
By
diligence
,
and
not
without
dilligence
were
the
fiue
Talents
made
ten
;
and
he
which
had
so
diligently
made
and
multiplied
them
,
was
also
made
the
Ruler
of
ten
Citties
.
I
can
neuer
say
enough
of
the
necessity
heereof
,
but
this
I
will
say
,
without
diligence
the
sinnes
and
filth
of
our
liues
are
increased
,
&
by
diligence
are
they
euacuated
;
for
the
sea
by
ebbing
&
flowing
,
by
fluxe
,
&
reflux
,
by
restlesse
laboring
and
working
,
is
not
corrupted
,
by
al
the
riuers
,
carkasses
,
and
carrions
in
the
world
,
but
stil
it
worketh
them
out
;
so
as
it
is
without
infection
.
Wars
nor
peace
,
omit
or
intermit
diligence
,
for
in
war
it
conserueth
from
enimy
,
it
helpeth
to
victory
;
in
peace
it
conserueth
from
corruption
of
manners
,
and
bringeth
in
plenty
of
honour
and
all
things
.

We
read
that
the
Milesians
hauing
bin
in
long
ciuill
wars
among
themselues
,
so
as
their
forts
&
houses
were
ruined
,
their
catle
diminished
by
daily
rapines
,
their
grain
consumed
&
burned
,
and
the
Land
wasted
,
&
al
for
the
principality
thereof
.
To
helpe
&
redresse
this
misery
,
the
contending
claimers
pittying
the
state
of
their
Country
,
grew
to
a
parley
,
&
laid
down
their
swords
of
Hostility
,
and
condiscended
to
referre
their
cause
to
the
Pareyans
their
next
Neighbours
,
and
so
vnder
their
common
Seale
,
sent
by
Ambassage
their
cau●e
,
quarrell
,
request
,
and
submission
,
to
their
censure
and
arbitrement
.
The
Pareyans
accepted
the
determination
of
this
businesse
,
&
hauing
receiued
a
more
ample
reference
from
the
heades
of
the
seuerall
factions
,
to
bestow
the
kingdome
or
principalitie
vpon
whomsoeuer
them
pleased
within
the
Territory
,
they
came
to
Miletum
,
and
hearde
all
parties
,
Pro
&
con
,
what
coulde
be
saide
for
euerie
mans
Title
.
At
last
,
walking
abroad
,
they
saw
the
desolations
of
the
whole
Island
,
and
no
man
minding
so
much
as
the
Tillage
,
to
procure
common
food
,
except
one
Husbandman
,
which
then
had
sowed
his
land
,
notwithstanding
the
fury
of
the
sedition
.
This
man
they
called
,
and
before
al
the
claimers
,
they
proclaimed
him
K.
as
the
worthiest
member
of
his
Countrey
,
prouiding
for
himselfe
,
and
the
common
benefit
of
other
,
when
all
in
a
desperate
ydlenesse
gaue
themselues
to
sowing
&
spilling
of
blood
,
he
in
a
diligent
hand
of
prouidence
,
attended
the
sowing
of
Corne
and
graine
,
for
the
filling
of
his
Countrey
with
store
againe
.
And
so
all
vpon
a
little
debate
,
yeilded
to
him
,
and
praised
the
Pareians
election
.
Euen
so
is
it
with
the
diligent
,
their
hand
must
bear
rule
,
as
Iustinus
of
a
diligent
heard-Boy
became
a
diligent
Souldier
;
of
a
diligent
Souldier
,
a
great
Commander
;
of
a
Commander
,
the
Emperour
of
the
worlde
,
and
one
of
the
best
.
5
Hearken
therefore
vnto
me
my
beloued
,
young
men
and
Brethren
,
be
diligent
,
for
they
that
are
not
in
the
labours
of
men
,
are
in
the
labours
of
Deuils
.
When
I
looke
vp
to
heauen
,
I
see
,
and
find
,
that
without
diligent
Prayer
,
fasting
,
reading
,
meditating
,
&
godly
continued
conuersation
to
the
end
,
wee
shall
neuer
come
thither
;
Oh
,
therefore
bee
diligent
,
it
is
for
a
Crowne
,
it
will
quite
the
paines
,
it
will
pay
the
labour
richly
.
If
I
look
vpon
the
earth
,
the
Husbandman
hath
foure
seasons
,
which
obseruing
,
he
is
rewarded
with
plentie
,
and
with
neglecting
,
hee
is
cloathed
with
Beggery
.
Bee
diligent
,
for
God
doth
speed
the
Plough
.
If
I
looke
on
learning
,
and
learned
men
,
I
finde
that
diligence
maketh
their
nights
short
,
their
daies
long
,
their
dyet
thin
,
their
bread
course
,
cording
to
that
of
the
Poet
:
Mùlta
tulit
fecitque
puer
sudauit
&
alsit
Abstinuit
vino
&
venere
qui
pythia
cantat
.
Many
and
many
are
the
miseries
of
the
Student
;
sometimes
hee
sweateth
;
sometimes
,
hee
freezeth
;
and
the
songes
of
his
Diuine
Oracles
make
him
forbeare
both
drunkennesse
and
wantonnesse
.
Be
diligent
therefore
,
for
so
,
meane
men
haue
attained
Kingdomes
;
Husband-men
,
riches
;
Schollers
,
Dignities
;
and
Merchantes
,
Honours
;
and
without
this
diligence
,
God
wil
not
bestow
his
blessing
.
And
thus
much
for
the
necessity
of
diligence
.
6
The
second
thing
I
noted
of
Diligence
,
is
the
praise
and
Commendation
thereof
,
for
this
alone
was
neuer
dispraised
.
The
Turkes
dispraise
Learning
;
some
Temperaunce
,
some
Fortitude
,
some
Iustice
,
some
Religion
,
but
all
commend
Diligence
.
Salomon
is
as
much
commended
for
his
diligence
,
as
for
his
wisedome
,
and
when
he
ceased
to
be
diligent
,
hee
also
ceased
to
be
wise
;
and
when
he
renewed
his
diligence
,
and
forsooke
his
pleasures
,
then
hee
recouered
his
wisedome
.
Saint
Paule
inferiour
to
no
man
,
in
praise
,
in
desert
,
hath
his
Diuine
partes
commended
by
his
diligence
;
first
,
in
that
hee
neuer
ceased
warning
al
men
night
and
day
,
and
serued
the
Lorde
in
watching
and
Prayer
:
that
he
trauailed
two
thousand
Miles
,
and
in
all
that
iourney
preached
the
Gospell
:
for
these
his
many
accidentes
in
his
labour
,
is
(
as
hee
deserued
)
commended
of
all
:
Paule
.
Saint
Chrysostom
in
Ecclesiasticall
story
,
is
memorable
for
many
excellent
partes
in
him
,
and
especially
for
that
in
his
banishment
hee
preached
diligently
,
and
conuerted
many
to
Christ
Iesus
.
Hee
that
tilleth
the
ground
shall
haue
aboundance
(
saith
Salomon
.
)
We
read
of
Furius
Cresinus
(
a
Roman
)
who
hauing
euery
yeare
better
Corne
then
his
Neighbours
,
they
called
him
into
iudgement
for
the
same
,
alledging
that
by
inchauntment
and
witchcraft
hee
spedde
so
well
,
and
that
by
such
secret
euill
meanes
,
hee
drew
away
the
fat
of
other
mens
Lande
into
his
owne
.
The
poore
man
appeared
at
the
day
,
and
brought
with
him
all
his
Tooles
of
husbandry
;
waightye
Plow-shares
,
heauy
Mattockes
&
Spades
,
ful
fed
Oxen
,
all
his
yrons
much
bigger
and
stronger
then
other
mens
,
and
lastly
his
Daughter
,
a
strong
and
mightie
young
woman
,
who
was
his
helper
in
all
his
Husbandry
,
&
setting
all
these
before
his
accusers
and
Iudges
,
cried
out
in
these
wordes
:
Haec
sunt
Quirites
veneficia
mea
.
(
ô
Romans
)
this
Daughter
,
these
Oxen
,
these
Tooles
are
the
Instruments
of
my
Witchcraft
,
and
besides
these
,
I
vse
none
,
and
these
I
apply
with
all
diligence
:
whereat
his
Iudges
being
mooued
,
absolued
him
with
commendation
.
Thus
we
see
,
diligence
procureth
aboundaunce
in
time
of
want
,
and
fauour
in
time
of
iudgement
:
who
can
sufficiently
expresse
or
admire
her
praises
,
which
maketh
men
so
praise-worthy
,
both
in
Court
and
Countrey
.
When
all
Iewry
were
asleepe
at
our
Sauiours
birth
,
who
had
the
warning
and
notice
thereof
from
heauen
,
euen
the
very
same
night
,
but
the
Shepheardes
that
kept
their
flocke
by
night
;
commended
for
nothing
but
for
their
diligence
,
to
them
did
the
Angelles
of
Heauen
bring
tydings
of
the
Byrth
of
Christ
our
Sauiour
the
sonne
of
Dauid
.
Loe
,
another
Commendation
of
diligence
,
and
a
greater
cannot
bee
to
heare
the
Angels
speake
,
the
heauenly
Souldiers
sing
,
and
to
see
before
all
earthly
men
(
next
to
Ioseph
and
Mary
)
the
most
blessed
Babe
that
euer
was
.
Diligence
is
obserued
by
the
heauenly
powers
,
and
rewarded
with
the
happy
vision
of
Iesus
Christ
.

Againe
,
the
continual
brand
of
infamy
and
disgrace
,
that
is
set
vpon
the
negligent
and
sluggish
,
is
no
meane
praise
of
diligence
and
industry
,
and
therefore
wheresoeuer
wee
read
of
a
sluggard
or
ydle
person
,
euen
in
his
greatnesse
he
is
taxed
for
this
.
Esau
,
who
hauing
beene
a
hunting
,
came
home
hungry
,
to
satisfie
his
present
hunger
,
solde
his
Birth-right
,
in
his
negligence
saith
S.
Austen
,
Malebat
emere
quam
quaerere
cibum
,
hee
had
rather
set
his
Birth-right
packing
,
then
tarry
,
or
go
seeke
meate
at
an
easier
rate
,
wh●rfore
he
is
branded
with
the
Title
of
very
fewe
:
Esau
Ihate
.
Claudius
,
after
he
was
Emperour
,
grew
so
carelesse
and
sluggish
,
that
he
minded
nothing
,
neither
what
he
saide
,
nor
to
whome
,
nor
among
whom
hee
spake
.
Ptolomy
another
carelesse
King
of
Egipt
,
would
play
at
Chesse
sitting
in
Iudgement
vppon
mens
liues
,
whereby
many
times
wrong
iudgment
proceeded
out
of
the
Kinges
negligence
,
and
the
bloude
of
an
Innocent
was
shed
,
which
all
the
kings
of
the
world
,
could
not
make
to
liue
againe
,
or
giue
a
satisfaction
.
Theodosius
the
younger
was
wont
to
subscribe
to
all
Letters
or
grauntes
that
were
brought
vnto
him
:
to
draw
him
from
this
carelesnesse
,
his
Sister
Palcheria
deuised
an
edict
to
be
made
,
whereby
hee
banished
his
wife
whom
hee
loued
most
dearely
.
And
then
she
getting
the
writing
againe
after
the
Emperour
had
signed
it
,
brought
it
vnto
him
,
blamed
him
,
he
denied
it
,
she
produced
it
,
and
the
shame
thereof
made
him
more
diligent
euer
afterward
.
Thus
by
negligence
are
al
other
Vertues
stained
,
because
diligence
giueth
grace
to
all
.
Learne
(
I
beseech
you
)
to
be
diligent
,
and
not
to
breake
off
your
diligence
in
any
point
;
and
in
all
your
actions
,
ioyne
labor
and
Prayer
together
:
Labour
,
without
Prayer
is
a
presumption
against
God
;
Prayer
,
without
Labour
is
a
temptation
of
God
.
Let
Iudas
Macchabeus
witnesse
this
for
me
;
before
al
his
batels
,
he
euer
prayed
,
except
two
,
one
against
Eupator
,
and
then
hee
was
ouercome
,
and
lost
the
field
;
the
other
,
against
Alcimus
and
Bacchides
,
and
then
he
lost
his
life
.
Although
his
praises
were
many
,
for
valour
&
fighting
,
yet
his
diligence
had
not
bin
so
fortunate
,
if
he
had
not
ioyned
his
Prayers
to
his
sword
.
Be
faithfull
and
diligent
in
small
thinges
,
so
shall
God
make
you
rulers
ouer
many
,
&
he
which
is
negligent
in
the
smallest
,
shal
not
be
trusted
with
greater
.
I
cannot
forget
,
I
will
not
conceale
the
worthy
saying
of
Bernard
.
Seruans
doctrinam
rarò
accusabit
fortunam
,
diligentiam
cum
infortunia
rarò
sociabis
,
pigritiam
rarò
separabis
.
That
is
,
He
which
keepeth
good
Doctrine
,
shall
sildome
accuse
fortune
.
You
shall
not
seldome
ioyne
diligence
&
misfortune
togither
,
you
shall
as
sildom
seperate
misfortune
and
sluggishnesse
:
and
●o
I
ende
this
second
part
of
the
praises
of
diligence
.
8
The
third
part
I
propounded
to
my selfe
,
are
the
commodities
of
diligence
,
which
are
many
,
and
therefore
neither
this
place
,
nor
this
time
will
not
permit
me
to
set
downe
either
all
,
or
those
fewe
,
so
largely
,
which
I
wil
heere
describe
.
First
,
Almighty
God
,
allureth
and
draweth
on
men
in
all
kind
of
life
,
by
,
and
for
the
hope
of
reward
and
profit
.
Noahs
Arke
,
Moses
message
to
Pharaoh
,
Dauids
fighting
against
Goliah
,
our
Sauiour
Christs
passion
,
&
our
profession
,
haue
all
their
seuerall
rewards
and
promises
annexed
to
them
,
so
hath
diligence
:
for
it
cannot
be
,
that
the
same
vertue
which
blesseth
mankind
with
so
many
benefites
,
but
that
also
it
should
receiue
many
commodities
for
them
.
First
(
Salomon
saith
)
The
diligent
hand
shall
beare
rule
;
Verily
,
there
is
none
of
vs
all
,
but
still
retaine
both
an
Image
of
honour
,
and
an
aspiring
to
Gouernement
,
for
God
made
not
vs
for
seruile
&
base
slauery
,
but
to
beare
rule
ouer
the
creatures
of
the
world
.
By
diligence
we
haue
already
shewed
how
many
Emperours
and
Kings
haue
beene
aduanced
from
mean
estate
,
and
now
I
will
adde
a
fewe
moe
.
The
Kings
of
Hungary
were
deriued
from
Lechus
the
second
,
who
was
a
Husbandman
,
and
by
a
deuine
demonstration
,
taken
from
the
Plough
to
bee
the
Virgin-Queenes
Husband
;
in
rememberance
whereof
,
he
caused
his
wodden
soles
or
shooes
to
be
reserued
in
his
Castle
for
all
posteritie
to
remember
,
how
,
and
in
what
sort
he
came
first
into
the
Court.
All
the
worlde
knoweth
that
the
Byshoppricke
of
Metz
is
one
of
the
greatest
of
Christendome
,
the
Byshop
being
a
Soueraigne
,
and
a
Prince
Elector
,
the
seate
which
Princes
and
great
Lordes
haue
sought
after
for
their
sonnes
.
We
read
of
one
of
their
woorthiest
Bishops
called
[
*
](A13822-e5130-b)
*
Centur
x.
In
his
Chappell
,
where
none
came
but
the
Emperor
,
&
himself
,
he
caused
to
bee
written
,
Villegese
prioris
fortunae
esto
memor
,
&
qui
nunc
ses
considera
.
Villegesus
,
who
was
but
a
Basket-makers
sonne
,
yet
would
hee
haue
the
Badges
of
his
Fathers
occupation
to
remaine
in
his
Pallace
,
aswell
to
make
other
studious
,
whereby
they
might
come
to
honor
,
as
also
to
put
him
in
minde
of
his
meane
descent
.

The
Graecians
saide
,
Ponos
eucleias
Pater
,
Labour
was
the
Father
of
Honour
,
for
the
blessing
of
God
doth
so
follow
it
,
that
many
moe
are
made
honourable
by
diligence
,
then
by
Birth
,
witnesse
all
the
Romaines
,
who
raised
their
Commonwealth
,
and
stoode
not
vpon
termes
of
blood
(
although
it
be
honourable
)
some
of
them
were
fetched
from
the
Plow
,
some
from
other
meane
places
;
then
Vertues
gaue
Titles
,
nowe
Titles
sell
Vertues
.
Cicero
,
Fabius
,
Quintius
,
and
other
,
Witnesse
these
thinges
.
When
Demosthenes
was
asked
how
hee
came
to
that
excellent
facility
of
speaking
,
so
as
hee
led
his
Auditory
to
what
part
he
pleased
,
being
the
glory
of
the
Greekes
,
and
an
honour
to
himselfe
,
hee
gaue
this
aunswere
;
that
by
spending
more
Oyle
then
Wine
,
hee
came
to
that
habit
of
perfect
speaking
;
Meaning
,
that
he
was
in
his
study
,
writing
and
reading
by
his
Lamp
,
when
other
were
at
the
Tauerne
,
or
in
their
banquettes
eating
and
drinking
;
soft
beddes
,
and
much
learning
are
hardly
gotten
together
,
good
cheere
and
painefull
diligence
are
sildome
matched
together
,
therefore
as
Lazarus
his
sorrowes
went
before
his
ioyes
,
&
Diues
his
ioyes
before
his
sorrowes
,
so
Humility
and
Labour
go
before
honour
,
and
Honour
abused
and
taken
before
the
time
,
is
seconded
with
shame
,
misery
,
and
(
peraduenture
)
hell
.
10
Againe
,
another
commodity
wee
receiue
by
labour
and
diligence
,
is
the
comfort
of
a
good
heart
,
when
we
must
sit
downe
in
age
,
and
can
worke
no
longer
:
for
the
night
of
age
commeth
,
when
we
cannot
worke
,
and
therefore
if
a
good
Conscience
bee
any
thing
vnto
vs
,
and
we
know
any
thing
of
our selues
,
then
may
we
with
Authority
reprooue
the
ydlenesse
of
other
,
and
repeate
(
without
boasting
)
with
glory
and
praise
our
owne
practise
:
whereby
posterity
and
the
younger
will
admire
vs
,
and
praise
vs
,
and
Noble
Spirites
,
(
whereof
there
bee
some
in
euerie
age
)
will
by
our
example
be
prouoked
to
do
the
like
.
But
if
wee
remaine
in
ydlenesse
and
sluggishnesse
,
what
ariseth
in
our
mindes
,
but
filthy
Lusts
,
impure
thoughts
,
abhominable
actions
,
such
as
wee
read
were
in
the
Sodomites
.
Be
not
deceiued
,
a
little
cranny
letteth
the
winde
into
the
house
,
and
a
little
leake
ouer-turneth
and
drowneth
a
great
Ship
;
euen
so
,
a
little
ydlenesse
suffereth
Sathans
Wind
and
Water
,
to
enter
into
the
soule
to
the
eternall
perdition
thereof
.
11
By
all
this
we
may
see
the
commodities
of
diligence
,
both
as
it
is
in
it
owne
Nature
,
and
as
it
is
also
in
the
contrary
.
And
indeed
,
wee
may
vrge
this
second
a
little
further
,
to
the
shame
of
Drones
,
sluggards
,
and
ydle
persons
;
God
doth
worthily
punnish
them
,
so
as
they
are
not
like
to
other
men
,
their
hands
and
faces
spotted
or
stained
like
the
greene
sicknesse
,
and
their
bellies
either
blowne
vp
like
Eglons
with
fat
,
or
(
deserued
hunger
following
them
)
lanke
and
flat
downe
like
the
bladder
that
is
pricked
.
Nothing
runneth
in
their
minde
but
the
Torment
of
labour
,
from
that
they
post
as
fast
as
Moses
from
his
rod
,
when
it
was
turned
into
a
Serpent
,
crying
out
against
those
that
prouoke
them
,
as
the
Deuils
against
our
Sauiour
,
Why
art
thou
come
to
torment
vs
before
our
time
.
Yea
,
labour
grieueth
them
so
much
,
as
they
watch
late
,
because
they
will
not
put
off
their
clothes
,
and
lye
long
in
bed
,
because
they
are
loath
to
take
the
paines
to
put
them
on
againe
.
The
sluggard
(
saith
Salomon
)
when
he
turneth
himselfe
,
maketh
a
noyse
like
a
Cart-wheele
:
Why
?
Because
he
is
not
liquored
with
the
Oyle
of
labour
and
diligence
,
he
is
euer
murmuring
and
complaining
:
In
Summer
,
hee
complaines
of
long
dayes
,
and
trifleth
them
away
at
the
Market
,
or
at
the
Ale-house
,
or
at
other
mens
shoppes
,
or
sleepeth
after
euery
Meale
,
or
doth
nothing
but
aske
for
newes
.
He
is
at
defiance
with
his
owne
house
and
Lands
,
so
long
as
there
is
a
meeting
or
assembly
abroad
,
either
at
Bowling
,
Shooting
,
Drinking
,
or
other
vaine
occasions
;
beeing
happy
in
nothing
so
much
(
to
his
owne
conscience
)
as
that
such
company
and
occasion
driueth
his
businesse
out
of
his
head
.
After
meat
,
if
pleasure
call
him
not
away
,
he
goeth
to
sleepe
,
and
if
the
Sabboth
come
,
that
hee
must
bee
forced
to
his
Monthly
day
,
yet
shall
Prayers
be
first
halfe
done
,
and
the
residue
he
passeth
ouer
with
desires
that
they
were
ended
,
and
like
a
merry
Souldier
whome
I
knew
taken
by
the
enemy
,
and
led
from
Tree
to
Tree
to
be
executed
,
was
wont
to
say
,
that
when
he
had
escaped
one
Tree
,
he
thought
long
till
he
had
also
escaped
another
.
12
Well
,
as
riches
and
honour
are
the
end
of
labour
&
diligence
,
so
is
pouerty
the
end
of
ydlenesse
,
and
such
a
pouerty
as
is
lesse
ashamed
to
steale
,
then
to
begge
,
for
his
inward
guilt
of
vngodly
liberty
taketh
away
from
him
the
boldnes
to
aske
for
Gods
sake
,
and
biddeth
him
be
his
owne
Caruer
,
to
want
nothing
till
he
come
to
the
Goale
among
his
fellowes
.
But
woe
bee
to
them
that
bring
not
vppe
their
Children
to
some
honest
and
diligent
labour
,
they
spoile
them
in
their
youth
,
dooing
them
more
harme
for
want
of
seauen
yeares
Apprentiship
,
then
they
doe
them
good
by
an
hundred
pound
a
year
Land
.
For
ease
slayeth
the
foolish
,
and
the
prosperity
of
fooles
destroieth
them
.
Wo
worth
them
also
,
that
get
,
and
gaine
,
and
take
,
and
receiue
from
other
mens
labors
,
not
giuing
them
good
words
for
their
benefitts
,
nor
euer
opening
their
mouth
for
their
large
allowances
,
either
in
the
Church
,
or
at
the
Bar
,
yea
,
both
in
the
Church
,
and
at
the
Barre
:
sometimes
Demosthenes
coynancy
(
not
squinancy
)
stopping
their
mouthes
,
as
if
their
throats
were
sore
:
sore
indeede
of
a
Pestilence
neuer
to
bee
cured
.
Sometimes
,
possessed
of
a
dumbe
and
deafe
deuill
,
whome
they
will
not
suffer
to
be
cast
out
,
least
their
Consciences
should
rend
them
at
his
departure
.
These
are
they
which
giue
vnto
Phisitians
a
groat
,
vnto
their
Counsellers
smoke
,
vnto
their
Flatterers
a
pound
,
vnto
their
Minions
&
Harlots
a
talent
,
vnto
Diuines
and
Preachers
,
a
halfepeny
of
custome
.
To
conclude
,
let
vs
all
beware
of
negligence
,
and
not
onely
crie
out
against
it
,
as
the
souldiers
did
of
Warre
in
the
time
of
Vitellius
,
when
one
had
in
the
warres
slaine
his
own
Father
,
yet
did
euery
man
continue
the
warres
:
and
so
while
we
dislike
ydlenesse
,
we
nourish
&
maintaine
it
;
but
let
the
Sonne
of
God
bee
your
example
,
not
in
his
Miracles
,
but
in
his
labours
,
that
when
death
or
he
calleth
for
you
,
it
may
find
you
working
,
or
praying
,
or
Meditating
,
or
hearing
,
or
Counselling
,
or
perswading
,
or
resisting
euill
,
or
but
saying
this
will
I
do
,
if
the
Lord
Iesus
giue
me
life
and
leaue
,
that
the
fruites
of
your
labours
,
like
the
coat
of
Tabitha
,
may
remaine
when
you
are
dead
and
gone
.
The
third
Sermon
.
YOu
haue
hearde
in
the
first
Sermon
,
I
taught
you
to
bee
wise
;
in
the
second
,
to
be
diligent
;
now
in
the
third
,
I
must
exhort
you
to
the
Christian
care
of
your
owne
estates
and
goodes
;
both
in
their
parts
,
and
in
their
Vses
,
as
they
are
comprised
in
my
Text.
First
,
for
your
Cattle
(
for
good
men
are
mercifull
to
their
Beastes
)
prouide
for
them
Hay
and
Grasse
.
Secondly
,
for
your selues
,
Corne
,
signified
by
the
hearbes
of
the
Mountaine
,
(
for
in
Israel
they
sow
vpon
mountaines
)
and
Mony
out
of
the
price
of
the
Goats
.
Thirdly
,
for
your
seruants
,
meat
,
and
Milke
.
And
lastly
,
for
you
and
them
together
,
clothing
,
out
of
the
fleeces
of
your
flocke
.
And
of
all
these
Salomon
biddeth
vs
,
Know
their
states
,
and
take
heed
to
them
.
Whether
they
liue
with
vs
more
familiarly
in
the
house
,
or
enclosure
,
or
whether
they
are
more
forraign
and
wilde
,
signified
vnder
the
name
of
heards
.
In
this
knowledge
there
are
many
sweet
flowers
,
may
profitable
trees
or
Plantes
,
and
many
faire
growing
seedes
.
For
to
speake
a
little
of
knowledge
in
generall
;
without
knowledge
,
wee
neuer
haue
our selues
,
nor
Almighty
God
.
All
are
bound
to
know
(
except
Children
)
who
cannot
by
their
infancie
of
yeares
;
and
naturall
fooles
,
who
cannot
by
priuation
of
naturall
faculties
.
The
knowledge
of
God
,
is
both
the
cause
of
louing
and
inioying
him
:
for
,
How
can
wee
loue
him
whom
wee
know
not
?
And
how
can
we
haue
him
whome
wee
loue
not
?
The
knowledge
of
God
is
the
beginning
of
Wisdom
,
the
knowledge
of
our selues
is
the
fulnesse
of
Charity
.
If
we
be
ignorant
of
our selues
,
that
ignoraunce
begetteth
Pride
,
if
we
be
ignorant
of
God
,
that
ignorance
draweth
to
Desperation
:
for
if
we
know
not
God
,
we
cannot
hope
in
him
;
if
wee
know
not
our selues
,
we
cannot
be
humble
,
and
then
we
cannot
bee
blessed
.
By
the
knowledge
of
our selues
(
saith
Saint
Bernard
)
wee
Sowe
in
teares
,
because
we
feele
and
see
to
our
sorrow
,
the
defects
of
our
Nature
.
By
the
knowledge
of
God
,
we
reape
in
ioy
;
because
,
we
feele
and
see
,
and
heare
,
the
plenty
and
copiousnesse
of
his
Redemption
:
therefore
let
vs
go
forth
and
carrie
our
seed
weeping
,
that
we
may
return
with
our
sheaues
ioying
;
and
both
,
for
our
knowledge
,
and
for
our
Humility
,
neither
with
the
Pharisies
,
let
vs
boast
our selues
aboue
others
,
nor
with
the
base
multitude
,
be
contented
to
bee
like
others
.
For
,
in
giuing
Honor
(
saith
Saint
Paule
)
go
one
before
another
;
that
is
,
the
rule
of
our
Humility
,
to
wish
with
Martinus
Turonensis
,
Couet
the
best
gifts
,
there
is
the
rule
of
knowledge
;
the
best
giftes
are
the
greatest
knowledge
,
and
the
greatest
knowledge
,
(
if
it
be
sanctified
)
maketh
the
best
men
.
Difference
of
knowledge
,
maketh
difference
of
men
;
and
as
Dauids
grace
and
knowledge
preferred
him
in
the
sight
of
God
and
Samuel
before
his
Brethren
(
thogh
he
were
lower
in
stature
,
and
they
taller
and
more
personable
men
:
)
euen
so
,
God
delighteth
not
in
mens
legs
,
or
strength
,
but
in
their
heart
and
soules
;
The
Angels
are
pictured
,
not
great
,
but
full
of
wings
,
and
wee
that
are
in
the
last
part
and
end
of
the
world
,
&
therefore
lesse
in
our
marriage
bed
,
then
our
Fathers
in
their
Cradle
,
let
vs
flye
about
the
worlde
,
about
our
calling
,
vppe
to
Heauen
,
with
the
wings
of
heauenly
knowledge
.

Salomon
therefore
commandeth
,
to
bee
diligent
to
knowe
our
Heards
,
&
take
heed
to
our
flocks
,
for
they
signifie
but
one
thing
.
Whereby
hee
meaneth
,
that
wee
should
informe
our selues
,
of
al
our
possessions
,
and
not
onely
referre
their
care
to
our
Balyffes
and
Stewards
,
who
many
times
take
more
paines
to
get
our
Liueries
&
Badges
,
then
to
doe
vs
seruice
and
deserts
.
It
is
well
obserued
,
that
Almighty
God
hath
giuen
euery
man
a
minde
and
a
state
equall
,
one
fit
,
or
at
least
fitted
for
another
,
and
no
man
is
so
poore
,
but
his
estate
,
is
big
enough
to
occupie
his
mind
,
and
set
that
on
worke
;
for
a
little
,
with
righteousnesse
,
will
keepe
an
honest
man
in
action
.
But
if
righteousnesse
be
absent
,
what
is
then
the
condition
of
such
a
person
?
Namely
,
to
busie
himselfe
in
other
mens
affaires
,
to
talke
of
their
liuings
,
of
their
stocke
,
of
their
pedigrees
,
of
their
sonnes
and
daughters
,
and
seruants
,
and
of
the
prizes
of
Corne
and
Merchandize
,
as
if
he
had
ten
Characks
at
sea
,
when
he
hath
neither
Money
to
buy
,
nor
ware
to
sell
away
.
This
man
is
neuer
a
stranger
,
but
at
home
;
knoweth
euery
man
,
but
himselfe
;
summes
vp
all
mens
reckoninges
,
but
his
owne
;
is
eeuen
with
all
accounts
,
till
he
leaue
himselfe
,
euen
nothing
.
From
the
roote
of
this
vanity
,
ariseth
the
ydle
humour
of
seeking
after
newes
,
in
Italy
,
Spaine
,
Fraunce
,
Turkey
,
Morocco
,
or
the
Low-countries
,
and
wanting
good
matter
,
hee
coyneth
some
of
his
own
;
then
he
posteth
to
one
Lord
or
Ladye
,
or
other
great
person
,
(
but
of
meane
intelligence
)
and
there
hee
venteth
the
winde
in
his
braine
.
Such
is
the
nature
of
mans
minde
(
my
beloued
)
as
is
the
Nature
of
good
ground
,
if
you
Till
&
Sowe
it
,
will
it
not
bring
foorth
good
fruits
?
But
if
you
Till
it
not
,
and
let
it
alone
vnoccupied
,
will
it
not
bring
forth
weedes
or
Grasse
?
Euen
so
,
our
mindes
sowed
with
knowledge
of
good
discipline
,
yeeldeth
a
happy
haruest
of
honest
faculties
;
but
let
alone
,
and
not
filled
with
some
better
matter
,
becommeth
stuffed
with
the
wind
of
vain
humours
,
lying
Tales
,
credulous
lies
,
and
vnprofitable
discourse
.
From
hence
also
it
commeth
,
that
men
haue
leisure
to
sowe
debate
,
by
immagining
faults
,
where
none
are
,
and
discouering
imperfections
and
follies
of
other
men
,
which
lying
hid
in
secret
,
were
better
buriand
forgotten
,
then
remembred
.
For
what
commeth
of
it
,
but
shame
to
our
Countreymen
,
contentions
in
the
Law
,
troubling
of
the
seates
of
Iudgement
,
hatred
and
diuision
among
honest
families
,
exhausting
of
Treasure
,
and
setting
the
soule
either
wide
open
(
by
malice
)
to
the
deuill
,
or
closed
vp
,
by
shaking
off
grace
and
shame
.
This
is
the
fruite
of
them
that
are
ignorant
of
their
owne
estates
,
and
yet
be
turbulent
discerners
of
other
men
;
&
the
best
is
,
the
world
payeth
them
well
againe
.
For
,
if
they
haue
as
many
Maisters
,
as
they
haue
hearers
,
euery
one
payeth
him
with
hatred
,
reuilings
,
and
reproaches
;
so
as
hee
laboureth
without
fruite
,
Sowing
the
winde
,
and
reaping
the
Whirle-wind
,
discouereth
,
without
thankes
;
speaketh
,
without
credit
;
eateth
,
without
welcome
;
liueth
,
without
reputation
or
loue
;
dieth
,
without
teares
or
pitty
;
sauing
,
it
is
pitty
such
wretches
treade
vpon
Gods
deare
earth
.
2
But
you
(
beloued
)
which
either
heare
this
,
or
heare
of
this
,
binde
and
buckle
your selues
to
knowledge
,
if
it
were
possible
,
of
euery
thing
,
Art
,
Trade
,
and
Occupation
;
but
especially
,
of
your
estates
,
without
which
,
a
Christian
is
vnlike
to
God
,
and
shameth
his
profession
,
which
crediteth
other
men
,
where
onely
he
shoulde
beleeue
himselfe
.
You
haue
but
two
things
in
your
estate
to
looke
into
,
your
soules
,
and
your
Temporalties
:
do
in
the
one
as
you
do
in
the
other
.
I
read
of
one
Pomponianus
a
Mantuan
,
that
he
was
in
secret
accused
for
denying
the
soule
,
and
at
last
(
as
all
secret
faults
shall
bee
reuealed
)
it
came
into
the
light
,
and
hee
was
called
into
Iudgement
for
it
.
His
Iudges
demanded
of
him
,
whether
hee
did
belieue
hee
had
a
soule
or
no
;
hee
answered
Negatiuely
,
hee
did
not
:
whereat
his
enemies
and
accusers
reioyced
,
his
graue
Iudges
reproued
him
sharply
,
and
gaue
sentence
vppon
him
.
The
Prisoner
meruailed
,
and
told
them
they
were
too
hasty
,
for
(
said
he
)
do
you
belieue
you
haue
souls
?
Yea
,
said
they
al
,
and
accurse
them
that
do
not
.
But
said
he
,
do
you
no
more
then
beleeue
it
:
saide
they
,
that
is
sufficient
:
then
saith
he
,
Non
credosed
scio
.
I
do
not
only
belieue
it
as
a
thing
absent
;
but
,
I
knowe
I
haue
a
soule
,
and
faith
,
giues
place
to
knowledge
.
So
my
beloued
,
do
not
onely
beleeue
you
haue
Leases
,
and
Lands
,
and
Friendes
,
and
Cattle
,
and
goods
,
and
Soules
,
but
know
it
:
it
is
better
to
know
,
then
to
beleeue
it
.
Heauenly
thinges
I
must
belieue
,
till
I
may
know
,
but
earthly
things
I
must
know
,
or
else
I
cannot
belieue
.
I
will
loue
my
Seruaunt
for
his
obedience
,
but
I
will
not
belieue
or
trust
him
for
all
my
state
.
Know
your selues
to
be
rich
,
and
doe
not
onely
beleeue
it
:
know
your selues
to
be
Christians
,
and
do
not
onely
beleeue
it
:
know
your selues
to
be
in
the
way
to
heauen
,
for
if
you
doe
but
belieue
it
,
you
are
deceiued
:
Knowe
your selues
to
haue
Hope
,
Faith
,
and
Charity
;
report
and
opinion
are
many
times
false
.
Faith
is
the
beginning
of
life
eternal
,
knowledge
is
the
perfection
and
complement
.
Faith
goeth
before
,
(
as
Grammar
before
other
Arts
)
or
as
the
scholler
belieueth
his
Master
,
but
knowledge
commeth
after
,
and
eyther
confuteth
or
confirmeth
the
Maisters
precepts
.
4
There
be
causes
,
there
be
effects
,
there
be
contraries
to
Faith
,
all
which
knowne
and
discerned
,
doe
no
onely
confirme
Faith
,
but
transport
,
and
transforme
it
into
knowledge
:
and
true
faith
will
neuer
cease
,
til
it
come
to
knowledge
,
as
true
loue
is
not
at
quiet
,
till
it
haue
the
seale
of
Mariage
,
because
it
traineth
to
experience
,
and
experience
resteth
in
knowing
.
The
triall
of
many
thinges
begetteth
Wisedome
,
and
Wisedome
the
better
part
of
experience
,
maketh
triall
of
euill
thinges
(
yet
without
sinne
)
and
keepeth
that
which
is
good
.
It
was
the
fault
of
Hieron
his
wife
,
that
hauing
neuer
kissed
man
(
except
her
Husband
)
thoght
that
euery
mans
breath
did
smel
as
ill
as
her
husbandes
:
whereby
her
husband
blamed
her
,
and
shee
was
not
thought
careful
inough
of
him
.
Vntill
,
and
vnlesse
we
know
what
difference
is
betwixt
a
Iewes
faith
,
a
Turkes
faith
,
an
Anabaptists
faith
,
and
a
true
Christian
faith
:
none
at
all
,
in
respect
of
the
forme
,
but
the
matter
,
the
efficient
,
and
the
ende
of
beleeuing
,
which
is
not
discerned
without
knowledge
.
I
call
the
forme
of
beleeuing
,
not
the
essence
of
a
true
Faith
,
which
is
a
worde
impropriated
to
Diuinity
,
but
the
beeing
of
faith
,
in
the
mindes
Morrall
and
Naturall
Vertues
.
Wherefore
out
of
a
good
doctrine
ariseth
a
good
faith
;
not
on
the
contrary
,
and
out
of
good
Doctrine
and
Faith
,
a
sound
knowledge
,
defending
,
maintaining
,
and
perswading
both
.
This
is
that
knowledge
,
that
Salomon
saith
,
is
better
then
Golde
and
Siluer
,
and
is
not
therefore
to
bee
misliked
,
because
it
is
not
alway
honoured
and
had
in
reputation
.
I
haue
seene
(
saith
the
Preacher
)
an
euil
vnder
the
Sunne
,
The
race
is
not
alway
to
the
swift
,
the
victory
to
the
strong
,
nor
breade
to
men
of
knowledge
.
What
then
?
God
himselfe
is
not
alway
so
respected
as
hee
ought
,
shall
not
wee
therefore
regard
him
as
much
,
as
if
al
the
world
did
agnize
him
?
Bread
(
then
which
nothing
is
more
needfull
to
mankinde
)
yet
is
not
alway
respected
of
wanton
and
full-fed
Children
;
shall
the
hungry
therefore
cast
it
away
?
God
forbid
,
no
more
let
honourable
Science
and
Knowledge
loose
her
reputation
,
because
some
indiscreete
Fooles
,
haue
set
her
in
the
last
,
least
,
and
lowest
place
.
5
God
himselfe
is
a
God
of
knowledge
,
&
next
to
God
,
men
are
the
Professors
and
Students
of
knowledge
,
for
euen
the
Angels
by
the
church
,
are
informed
in
the
secrets
of
our
Redemption
.
A
man
without
knowledge
,
hath
no
God
but
himself
,
no
heauen
but
this
world
,
and
in
this
(
through
ignoraunce
,
of
the
world
to
come
)
they
craue
a
large
improuement
of
their
euill
daies
,
feeling
no
other
loue
,
or
hatred
,
or
feare
,
or
care
,
or
sorrowe
,
or
wounds
,
or
conscience
;
For
,
as
men
first
sinne
,
and
do
not
care
,
by
a
long
&
inueterate
custome
,
they
sinne
,
and
doe
not
knowe
.
From
hence
men
fall
into
a
Reprobate
minde
,
hauing
no
good
thing
in
them
,
like
Beastes
they
are
guided
by
appetite
,
like
him
that
had
a
thousand
Cookes
,
and
a
thousand
Faulconers
.
Reason
,
which
should
rule
,
is
made
of
the
Ladye
the
Hand-maide
,
and
so
the
yssue
of
their
minds
is
like
Ismael
,
a
bastard
,
and
a
Bondage-generation
;
from
which
sildom
commeth
any
good
.
Religion
,
the
Daughter
of
God
&
the
Church
,
and
the
first
borne
in
Paradice
;
yea
,
in
Heauen
,
is
clapped
vp
into
some
stinking
Dungeon
,
thorough
which
,
passeth
the
sincke
of
all
our
beastly
pleasures
,
and
that
which
shoulde
haue
the
highest
,
and
the
most
honourable
room
in
our
house
of
clay
(
too
base
for
such
a
Ghest
)
is
thrust
behinde
the
Stables
of
great
Horses
,
the
Mewes
of
Hawkes
,
the
Porters
lodge
,
yea
the
Scullery
of
the
most
seruile
Offices
,
and
where
she
most
loueth
to
be
(
like
the
Haebrew
seruant
)
shee
is
boared
thorough
the
eare
,
and
hath
many
wronges
and
brands
of
disgrace
;
still
a
Seruant
,
that
should
bee
a
Commaunder
.
Their
rule
to
belieue
is
their
sence
,
except
they
see
(
with
Thomas
)
they
will
neuer
beleeue
,
and
yet
all
the
sences
being
filled
,
they
are
not
ouercome
,
so
easie
is
it
to
shew
the
reasons
of
Diuinity
,
and
so
harde
to
perswade
.
In
error
,
many
(
like
our
late
Apostataes
)
are
first
perswaded
,
and
then
instructed
,
but
in
Religion
and
Faith
,
after
so
much
as
sence
it selfe
cryeth
hoe
,
yet
instruction
can
worke
no
perswasion
,
as
though
some
Ephialtes
ouerlay
their
breasts
.
6
From
hence
also
it
commeth
,
that
Adams
sinne
is
layed
vppon
God
,
because
he
suffered
and
permitted
it
,
therefore
he
decreed
and
acted
it
:
and
whatsoeuer
other
euill
is
committed
in
the
worlde
,
he
must
be
made
the
Authour
thereof
:
so
strangely
rangeth
ignorance
and
want
of
Knowledge
,
being
not
able
to
discerne
betwixt
permission
and
action
,
betwixt
the
action
,
and
the
euill
,
that
like
a
Birde
in
a
net
,
the
more
it
striueth
,
the
faster
it
is
hampered
,
and
the
higher
goeth
the
sin
.
Then
Fortune
or
good
lucke
is
made
their
Goddesse
,
attributing
whatsoeuer
they
haue
,
eyther
to
chaunce
,
or
to
themselues
;
with
the
wicked
in
the
Prophet
,
they
Sacrifice
to
their
net
,
or
else
to
their
Armes
,
to
their
Horses
,
to
their
experience
,
to
their
wit
:
but
if
successe
faile
,
and
the
yssue
aunswere
not
the
expectation
,
then
they
curse
themselues
,
or
open
their
mouth
against
Heauen

He

For

I
would
pray
to

but
they

That

The
people
of
Rome
neuer
indured
more
slaughter
,
whereby
it
was
prooued
,
that
the
Gods
are
not
so
watchfull
for
our
health
and
safegard
,
as
they
bee
for
our
punnishment
and
reuenge
.
That
wise
Liuy
also
speaking
of
a

ye
are
;
saith
,
that
for

scarce
all
the
Gods
could
haue
supported
our
estate
or
common
wealth
.
It
is
hard
,
yea
almost
impossible
,
for
men
without
the
knowledge
of
God
,
to
stand
in
affliction
if
it
be
not
sudden
,
but
lingering
.
Wicked
men
are
worst
in
long
sorrowes
,
Manaoh
,
Daniel
,
and
Saint
Iohn
)
and
best
in
long
miseries
,
and
continued
calamities
.
Titus
another
Demy-God
among
the
Heathen
,
when
hee
saw
that
hee
must
dye
in
his
youth
,
(
after
he
had
bin
Emperor
but
two
yeares
)
he
cried
out
against
the
heauens
for
their
small
regard
of
his
life
.
Wicked
&
ignorant
men
(
if
they
haue
any
spirits
)
are
like
Tygers
,
who
hearing
a
Drumme
,
bite
and
teare
off
their
own
flesh
;
so
these
in
great
terrors
and
euils
,
are
at
their
wittes
ende
.
When
their
Conscience
byteth
them
,
then
they
seeke
out
false
remedies
,
more
hurtfull
then
assured
perils
;
Namely
,
the
companie
of
good
fellowes
,
and
Musicall
merrimentes
,
as
though
sin
were
sent
to
afflict
them
,
to
helpe
the
Tauerne
,
Alchouse
or
Minstrell
:
but
so
also
they
bewray
their
folly
and
want
of
skill
,
for
their
last
recourse
is
vnto
GOD
,
when
they
haue
tryed
all
other
meanes
,
and
then
they
neither
speed
well
,
nor
do
well
,
because
they
doe
it
late
,
too
late
,
beginning
at
the
wrong
end
,
all
is
out
of
course
,
and
lost
;
yea
,
with
their
own
wiues
they
commit
fornication
,
and
poyson
themselues
with
their
owne
meate
.
There
is
not
one
Vertue
or
grace
of
God
,
which
they
cannot
Nicke-name
,
nor
a
fault
so
foule
,
which
they
wil
not
blaunch
ouer
with
some
defence
;
and
if
at
any
time
it
droppe
into
them
to
heare
a
Sermon
,
it
is
for
the
phrase
,
or
some
sinister
respect
,
goodnesse
being
a
stranger
,
and
scornefulnesse
an
ordinarie
companion
with
them
.
They
haue
learned
nothing
of
God
,
but
to
sweare
by
him
,
and
that
rashly
,
falsely
,
and
presumptuously
;
for
to
reprooue
them
(
neuer
so
gently
)
for
the
same
,
is
to
take
a
Kid
from
a
Beare
,
and
a
Lambe
from
a
Lyon
,
and
a
Wolfe
by
the
eares
.
They
haue
no
care
for
their
soules
,
no
more
then
for
Beggers
by
the
High-way
,
whom
they
neither
desire
to
heare
,
to
remember
,
to
releeue
.
They
loue
none
but
themselues
,
and
care
not
vppon
whom
they
treade
,
nor
whome
they
disgrace
,
to
bee
a
foundation
to
their
rising
.
I
would
they
loued
themselues
in
the
Nature
of
true
loue
,
for
such
loue
is
like
the
Mothers
loue
to
her
Childe
,
a
loue
to
preserue
,
but
their
loue
is
like
the
hungry
mans
loue
to
his
meate
,
a
loue
to
consume
.
To
conclude
,
from
hence
it
commeth
,
that
they
neuer
thinke
of
death
with
patience
and
feare
it
more
then
hell
,
because
they
are
not
so
throughly
perswaded
of
hell
,
as
they
be
of
death
,
and
in
one
word
,
I
may
describe
them
by
the
Psalme
,
The
wayes
of
GOD
they
haue
not
knowne
,
and
there
is
no
feare
of
God
before
their
eyes
.
7
Thus
,
and
this
haue
I
spoken
of
knowledge
,
as
it
is
a
vertue
Morrall
,
and
Theological
;
now
it
is
varied
in
my
Text
,
by
these
words
,
And
take
heed
to
thy
Heards
,
which
afterwarde
are
also
deuided
into
Hay
,
Corne
,
Cattell
,
and
seruants
,
that
euery
one
of
these
may
be
preserued
in
Vse
,
Office
,
Life
.
So
our
Flockes
and
Heards
are
our
Families
,
our
Cattell
,
our
charges
Pastorall
,
and
Magisteriall
,
kingdoms
to
Kinges
,
Monarchies
to
Emperors
,
Counties
to
Sheriffes
,
offices
to
Officers
,
euery
Seruant
&
maid
haue
their
Flockes
,
their
Heards
.
Hee
that
worketh
by
the
day
,
or
that
is
hyred
for
a
yeare
,
or
is
apprentice
till
a
Iubilee
,
whether
hee
follow
the
Flockes
and
Ewes
with
young
,
as
Dauid
did
,
or
the
Plowe
and
Oxen
as
Elisha
did
,
or
the
wars
as
Ioab
and
Abner
did
,
or
attend
on
their
Maister
as
the
Centurions
seruant
did
,
or
on
their
Lady
&
Mistris
,
as
the
Maids
of
Esther
did
,
or
Fish
in
the
Sea
,
as
the
sonnes
of
Zebedee
,
or
walke
on
Messages
on
the
Land
,
as
the
Seruant
of
Abraham
;
and
to
conclude
,
whether
they
be
set
ouer
all
as
Baliffes
and
Stewards
,
or
ouer
the
Hay
,
or
ouer
the
Corne
,
or
ouer
the
Cattle
,
or
ouer
the
Men
and
Maid-seruants
,
they
haue
their
Flocks
,
&
Heards
,
and
charges
,
which
they
must
know
,
and
take
heed
vnto
,
for
seruice
is
no
inheritance
,
and
badges
of
Lords
and
great
men
,
are
neyther
to
maintaine
vs
,
or
defend
vs
in
ill
.
These
are
the
thinges
that
make
a
man
,
that
make
him
perfect
,
in
as
perfect
manner
as
may
bee
,
if
they
be
found
in
the
way
of
righteousnesse
,
such
seruants
shall
diuide
the
inheritance
among
brethren
,
and
men
of
this
quality
,
shal
stand
before
Princes
.

There
is
nothing
more
commendable
in
a
man
,
then
oftentimes
to
visit
,
view
&
review
their
possessions
,
take
special
consideration
of
their
meanest
vtensiles
,
so
shall
they
see
how
they
are
kept
&
preserued
,
which
of
them
must
be
altered
,
which
nourished
,
which
continued
,
which
remoued
,
which
standeth
in
the
stable
,
and
which
is
fallen
into
the
ditch
.
Our
Cattell
are
not
free
from
our
care
on
the
Sabbaoth
day
.
Which
of
you
(
saith
our
Sauiour
)
shall
haue
an
Oxe
,
or
an
Asse
,
fall
into
the
ditch
on
the
Sabaoth
day
,
and
shall
not
help
him
out
.
And
which
of
you
doth
not
loose
his
Oxe
or
his
Asse
to
water
on
the
Sabbaoth
day
.
By
which
we
see
our
blessed
Sauiour
giue
allowance
to
this
labour
,
arising
both
out
of
necessity
and
mercy
,
which
two
onely
cases
,
giue
dispensation
to
ciuill
and
base
seruices
on
the
Sabbaoth
day
,
which
workes
else
were
vnlawfull
and
insufferable
in
true
Diuinitie
.
Yea
,
in
the
Law
wee
are
bounde
,
not
onely
to
regard
our
owne
cattle
,
but
our
Neighbours
,
yea
,
our
enemies
,
and
to
bring
home
his
Oxe
or
Asse
that
goeth
astray
,
to
restore
the
pledge
,
to
restore
that
wee
find
to
the
true
owner
,
(
if
we
can
come
to
the
knowledge
of
him
.
)
Such
care
hath
almighty
God
of
euery
mans
particuler
,
as
that
they
which
follow
not
this
order
,
corrupt
his
ordinaunce
,
alter
his
prouidence
,
chaunge
the
Diuine
property
of
those
things
they
lose
negligently
,
or
retaine
vniustly
,
and
shall
pay
most
deerly
for
vsurpation
of
that
,
which
God
in
triall
(
not
in
right
)
hath
giuen
into
their
handes
.
Againe
,
if
we
often
looke
not
to
our
estates
(
I
meane
such
as
are
householders
)
how
can
we
knowe
what
to
giue
according
to
our
proportion
,
or
what
store
to
keepe
,
after
our
allowance
?
we
may
giue
that
we
cannot
spare
,
and
must
go
buy
else
where
,
which
is
folly
,
we
may
keep
that
we
cannot
spend
,
&
that
is
misery
and
wretchednesse
;
our
Granaries
shall
be
empty
or
fustie
,
without
our
knowledge
,
our
wardrobes
void
of
store
of
Houshold
,
our
Armouries
without
weapons
,
our
Sellers
without
drink
or
wine
,
which
il
beseemeth
a
Housholder
,
a
Man
,
much
lesse
a
Christian
,
to
whome
God
hath
giuen
state
and
liuing
,
and
a
family
,
that
prouideth
not
thinges
honest
before
hande
for
his
owne
Family
,
is
worse
then
an
Infidell
.

The
charge
of
this
life
,
is
food
,
raiment
,
and
friends
;
care
first
to
prouide
these
,
then
to
vse
them
.
Weee
read
that
Ioseph
was
ordained
and
honoured
of
Almightie
GOD
,
Egipt
,
(
after
hee
was
drawne
out
of
prison
)
for
the
prouision
of
Corne
and
Victuall
;
yea
,
for
this
his
Father
&
Brethren
gaue
reuerence
vnto
him
.
Loe
,
an
excellent
dignity
of
hous-keeping
,
and
prouidence
for
to
feede
them
whom
the
Lord
hath
sent
into
the
Worlde
,
among
whom
are
his
Church
,
that
must
not
want
when
the
Lyons
lacke
and
suffer
hunger
.
Euery
Family
hath
its
children
,
in
whose
name
,
bloud
,
and
estate
,
it
consisteth
;
their
enlargement
and
continuance
standeth
vppon
the
wise
administration
of
Housholde
affaires
,
as
well
to
keep
that
which
is
already
gained
,
as
to
gaine
that
which
is
desired
.
Saint
Paul
would
not
haue
a
Byshop
or
Deacon
to
be
chosen
,
but
by
this
Touch-stone
of
experience
,
how
they
had
ordered
and
guided
their
Housholdes
;
for
no
man
can
euer
serue
or
rule
well
the
Church
of
God
,
that
hath
not
well
behaued
himselfe
in
the
Domesticall
and
oeconomical
life
.
The
wise
Cato
woulde
haue
the
Housholder
,
Prouidere
familiae
instituta
,
cibos
&
medicinam
,
to
prouide
first
for
the
maners
,
secondly
,
for
the
maintenance
;
and
lastly
,
for
the
Medicine
of
their
Families
in
the
time
of
sicknesse
.
What
is
meat
and
large
allowance
of
fare
and
dyet
to
our
seruants
,
without
good
and
Diuine
maners
?
What
are
Diuine
&
good
maners
,
Seeke
Wooll
and
Flaxe
,
and
labour
cheerefully
with
the
hands
.
Be
like
a
Merchants
ship
,
to
bring
foode
from
farre
.
Rise
early
while
it
is
Night
,
giue
your
portion
to
the
Housholde
,
and
the
ordinary
to
the
Maides
.
Put
the
hande
to
the
Wheele
,
and
your
Armes
to
the
poore
and
needy
.
Consider
Fields
,
and
Carpets
,
&
fine
Linnen
,
and
Garments
,
and
buy
them
,
so
shall
honour
bee
your
cloathing
,
and
●ou
shall
reioyce
in
your
latter
dayes
.
But
yet
remember
in
all
your
labours
,
that
Almighty
God
be
not
forgotten
,
for
it
is
in
vaine
saith
Dauid
,
to
rise
early
,
&
eat
the
bread
of
carefulnesse
,
going
late
to
bed
,
except
the
Lord
giue
rest
to
his
beloued
.
You
may
with
Elisha
Plow
in
the
field
,
and
follow
the
Oxen
,
but
if
Eliahs
Mantle
bee
cast
vppon
you
,
you
must
forsake
the
Plough
,
and
follow
the
Prophets
.
Our
sermons
are
like
his
Mantle
,
and
they
call
you
to
heauen
,
as
that
did
Elisha
,
to
be
a
Prophet
.
Matthew
may
sit
in
his
Publicans
Office
,
but
if
our
Sauiour
call
him
away
,
Hee
must
arise
and
follow
him
.
Al
Trades
of
life
are
but
Hand-maids
to
Religion
,
therefore
vaine
are
they
which
forsake
the
Mistresses
,
(
which
is
Godlinesse
)
her
Table
and
Parlour
,
which
is
the
Temple
,
for
the
Maidens
webs
,
and
Worke-houses
of
lesse
value
and
estimation
.
10
How
shall
they
bee
able
to
looke
almighty
God
in
the
face
,
which
either
feeling
wealth
comming
vpon
them
,
or
els
in
an
ouer-carefull
desire
,
to
bee
rich
,
and
accounted
laborious
,
forsake
the
Churches
and
Altars
of
the
Lord
,
sildome
visiting
the
holy
Communion
,
as
a
day-feast
;
sildome
comming
to
the
Church
,
as
a
Market
,
wherein
there
is
nothing
gotten
;
and
as
sildome
mumble
vppe
their
priuate
Prayers
,
without
Deuotion
,
Vnderstanding
,
or
Diligence
;
Oh
,
I
say
,
what
account
shal
they
giue
vnto
the
Lorde
,
for
this
drousie
&
Lethargical
negligence
in
their
soules
cases
.
Al
their
care
is
for
the
shoo
,
none
for
the
foote
;
all
for
the
Hat
and
Feather
,
none
for
the
head
;
all
for
the
Badge
on
the
sleeue
,
none
for
the
Wages
in
the
purse
;
all
for
the
body
,
that
body
and
soule
are
both
lost
.
It
is
a
comely
thing
to
see
a
ship
rigged
,
and
with
spread
sailes
floating
on
the
Waters
,
obseruing
also
,
how
one
is
at
the
Sterne
,
another
at
the
top
,
and
euery
man
in
his
place
,
(
the
winds
moouing
withall
)
so
it
will
continue
in
order
and
sayle
surely
;
but
if
either
Pilot
or
Steersman
bee
wanting
,
or
other
Marriner
,
the
Winds
wil
soone
rend
the
sayles
,
and
the
Shippe
split
against
the
rockes
:
euen
so
,
it
is
a
goodly
thing
,
and
a
royall
,
to
see
a
Man
sayling
to
heauen
,
hauing
vnder
,
him
the
earthly
Waters
,
(
though
inconstant
)
aboue
him
the
windes
of
heauen
:
if
hee
want
not
in
him
,
Reason
,
vnderstanding
,
Religion
,
and
Grace
,
which
are
the
Mariners
that
row
and
waft
our
soules
to
the
eternall
kingdom
.
It
is
good
therefore
to
lay
hold
on
this
,
and
not
to
forget
that
,
For
what
shall
it
aduantage
a
man
,
to
win
the
whole
world
,
and
loose
his
owne
soule
.
11.
Now
,
I
returne
againe
to
the
carefull
Housholder
,
who
must
looke
to
euery
part
of
his
possession
,
as
it
is
in
my
text
,
Hay
,
graine
,
Catle
and
Seruants
;
yea
,
although
he
weare
the
Crowne
.
It
was
an
excellent
saying
of
Alphonsus
,
a
King
of
Spaine
:
Principis
inane
nomen
nisi
habet
in
aerario
,
the
name
of
a
king
or
Prince
is
an
idle
thing
,
if
he
haue
not
a
Treasury
to
maintain
it
.
The
Crowne
is
maintained
by
diligence
,
by
the
Plow
,
and
the
Common-wealth
flourisheth
vnder
the
same
.
I
will
not
,
nor
may
I
meddle
with
Princes
;
but
I
say
,
that
the
name
of
a
Housholder
is
an
ydle
thing
without
a
storehouse
more
or
lesse
,
according
to
the
proportion
of
the
family
more
or
lesse
.
The
kingdome
of
heauen
is
likened
to
such
a
store-house
,
out
of
which
the
Lordes
Family
is
replenished
with
things
new
&
old
.
And
seede
time
,
&
haruest
,
cold
and
heat
,
Winter
&
summer
,
day
and
night
,
hath
not
ceased
,
but
shal
remain
as
long
as
the
earth
shal
endure
.
So
must
wise
Housholders
prouide
aforehand
,
things
honest
;
euen
before
mariage
,
Meat
and
houses
,
&
clothing
,
&
before
children
,
as
the
mother
doth
the
swadling
cloaths
.
That
out
of
the
heards
he
may
with
Abraham
fetch
a
Lambe
or
a
Kid
,
or
an
Oxe
:
out
of
the
Pastry
with
Sara
,
fetch
the
Meale
for
the
bread
of
strangers
.
It
is
not
good
to
want
store
and
prouision
at
hande
,
the
Venison
is
best
in
the
Parke
,
and
the
Cattle
in
our
owne
,
and
not
in
others
mens
heards
.
When
Isaac
would
haue
Venison
,
because
it
ran
wilde
,
Esau
was
long
in
taking
it
,
&
so
Iacob
came
in
the
meane
time
with
the
tame
Kid
(
a
thing
in
store
,
and
at
hande
)
and
got
away
the
blessing
.
Euen
so
,
when
necessaries
are
then
to
bee
sought
,
when
they
should
be
vsed
,
it
preuenteth
both
the
thankes
,
and
the
benefit
,
and
store
bringeth
both
:
for
Iacobs
Venison
(
though
not
true
)
had
both
the
blessing
,
and
the
thankes
.
Store
at
hand
,
is
like
friendes
at
hande
,
whereof
Salomon
saith
,
A
friend
at
hand
,
is
better
then
a
Brother
a
great
way
off
.
Romans
,
the
Spears
,
Shields
,
Swords
,
and
warlike
weapons
,
which
their
Antecessors
had
gotten
by
their
prowesse
:
&
these
things
(
though
at
the
doores
)
yet
no
man
durst
remooue
or
make
away
.
Thus
did
they
for
their
Honour
,
let
vs
doe
as
much
for
our
houses
and
Families
,
and
let
not
there
bee
among
vs
any
that
keepeth
not
his
parents
Lands
,
goods
,
Armes
,
Cattle
,
and
Vertue
,
that
as
we
are
known
by
their
names
,
so
wee
may
bee
by
their
Landes
,
Honours
,
Prowesse
,
Frugality
,
&
all
other
workes
of
Faith
,
Hope
,
and
Charity
.
12.
Thus
haue
I
briefly
spoken
of
the
Housholde
care
to
get
and
keepe
.
Now
of
the
last
part
of
the
Housholder
,
or
housekeeping
,
which
is
his
mercy
in
spending
,
&
liberality
in
giuing
foorth
.
That
which
was
first
called
his
charge
,
Flocke
and
Heards
,
he
now
calleth
his
Family
and
Maidens
,
which
must
be
fedde
and
cloathed
.
Whereby
,
is
first
to
be
noted
,
that
all
the
care
we
haue
spoken
of
,
is
to
giue
,
to
bestow
,
to
spend
,
to
distribute
,
and
feed
others
.
Hee
which
is
the
Seruant
of
riches
,
doth
keepe
,
and
get
them
like
a
Seruaunt
,
but
hee
which
is
the
Lorde
and
Maister
of
them
,
doth
giue
and
dispose
them
like
a
Maister
;
nothing
proueth
a
man
so
much
the
owner
of
his
wealth
,
as
the
vse
and
bestowing
of
it
;
nothing
sheweth
him
so
much
a
base
seruant
of
wealth
and
riches
,
as
the
hoording
vppe
,
and
keeping
it
close
from
the
sight
of
the
world
.
Now
,
the
seruant
doth
keepe
them
,
as
Seruantes
do
their
Maisters
goods
;
and
he
which
is
a
Seruant
of
riches
,
is
not
a
Seruant
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Beware
of
this
wretched
getting
of
goods
to
keep
them
,
&
not
to
spend
them
:
God
,
Nature
,
Men
,
Beasts
,
and
all
good
creatures
,
confute
and
denie
this
.
GOD
,
for
he
which
is
infinite
in
wealth
,
giueth
all
in
this
worlde
;
He
eateth
not
of
our
Flockes
or
folds
,
or
of
Beasts
that
run
wild
on
the
hils
,
he
therfore
commandeth
the
earth
to
feede
man
,
For
hee
openeth
his
hand
,
&
filleth
al
liuing
things
with
his
blessing
,
It
is
a
more
blessed
thing
to
giue
,
then
to
receiue
.
He
chargeth
the
rich
in
this
world
to
be
ready
to
distribute
.
He
threatneth
that
the
rust
of
the
Golde
and
Siluer
layed
vp
,
shall
consume
and
torment
the
soules
of
them
that
hoarde
.
that
no
mans
life
standeth
in
the
things
it
possesseth
:
Hee
sheweth
thee
ô
man
what
is
good
;
Namely
,
to
do
Iustice
,
and
loue
Mercie
.
And
to
conclude
,
Him
hee
stiled
a
Foole
,
which
hauing
plenty
of
Corne
,
more
then
his
Barnes
could
hold
,
would
rather
builde
greater
Barnes
(
to
keepe
it
)
then
giue
away
the
superfluous
surplusage
to
the
poore
and
needy
,
ô
Foole
,
this
night
they
will
fetch
away
thy
soule
from
thee
,
then
whose
shall
all
these
goods
,
and
Bagges
,
and
Obligations
bee
?
Surely
,
If
you
say
your
Childrens
;
what
comfort
is
it
to
a
Father
in
hell
to
remember
the
intollerable
Torments
he
there
indureth
,
for
getting
and
keeping
that
wealth
vniustly
,
without
shewing
pitty
to
other
,
which
now
his
Sonnes
and
Daughters
reuell
in
with
all
earthly
pleasures
.
I
tel
you
such
earthly
pleasures
,
haue
a
bitter
end
;
but
such
Torments
haue
no
end
:
For
although
they
aske
but
a
droppe
of
water
,
13
Nature
also
is
an
enemie
to
this
wretchednesse
,
to
this
Couetousnesse
,
she
loueth
to
multiply
,
and
to
increase
,
if
she
haue
Milke
in
her
breastes
,
shee
knoweth
that
(
like
Riches
it
will
rot
)
therefore
with
it
she
feedeth
other
.
The
trees
that
are
laden
with
fruit
,
bear
them
but
till
they
are
ripe
,
and
then
if
they
be
not
taken
off
,
they
let
them
fall
.
How
glad
are
the
fields
when
they
are
couered
Laetis
segetibus
,
with
smiling
Graine
,
and
yet
they
hasten
to
the
haruest
(
as
the
Pigion
to
her
breeding
)
that
being
rid
of
one
crop
,
may
be
Plowed
for
another
.
The
sheepe
wearied
with
his
fleece
,
inuiteth
by
a
panting
necessity
,
the
Shepheard
and
Shearer
to
take
it
off
.
The
seede
would
bee
sowne
,
the
Gardens
would
be
gathered
,
the
Sea
would
bee
Fished
,
the
Heauens
keepe
not
their
influence
,
but
send
it
downe
among
vs
.
Why
then
should
men
get
goods
to
keepe
them
,
and
yet
Riches
endure
not
alway
,
nor
the
Crown
from
generation
to
generation
.
Are
they
not
the
sonnes
of
Nature
?
Why
degenerate
they
?
What
Tygers
Milke
haue
they
sucked
?
What
Cockatrice
hath
hatched
them
,
who
corrupteth
all
that
shee
toucheth
?
Let
Nature
teach
them
(
if
they
will
not
learne
of
such
a
Mother
)
who
as
Boetius
saith
,
14
Men
also
,
I
meane
the
generall
and
Vniuersall
inclination
of
mankind
,
is
against
the
keeping
of
goods
in
priuate
without
some
vse
.
Patrem
,
a
Father
,
because
hee
gaue
them
riches
,
and
layed
vp
,
but
for
their
necessaries
;
and
Darius
,
they
called
Negotiator
,
a
Merchant
,
whose
study
is
to
gaine
,
or
not
to
lay
out
.
Tully
saith
,
Pythagoras
.
Couetous
men
which
haue
riches
,
and
do
not
vse
them
,
are
like
vnto
Orphanes
and
Wardes
in
their
Nonage
,
which
also
haue
houses
and
Landes
,
but
cannot
dispose
them
.
Seneca
saith
,
Inopiae
pauca
desunt
,
Innocentius
.
Achor
,
after
he
was
founde
guilty
of
the
Golden
garment
.
By
Couetous
Ahab
,
was
Nabaoth
put
to
death
for
the
Vineyard
.
Gehazi
got
the
leprosie
thorough
Couetousnesse
,
when
hee
abused
Naaman
in
the
Prophets
name
.
Iudas
for
Couetousnesse
,
sold
his
Maister
and
hanged
himselfe
.
Ananias
and
Saphira
belyed
their
Charity
,
and
keeping
backe
their
portion
(
for
they
had
solde
their
Land
and
kept
their
sin
)
were
stroken
dead
by
the
Lord
.
Belieue
it
,
the
mercifull
man
neuer
dyed
ill
death
,
the
Couetous
and
parsimonious
neuer
happy
death
.
Therefore
away
with
this
monster
,
which
all
men
cry
out
against
,
and
they
which
loue
it
most
,
are
ashamed
to
confesse
it
.
Men
are
wont
to
desire
wealth
,
pleasures
,
and
Honours
:
of
Wealth
commeth
euil
things
;
of
Pleasure
,
filthy
thinges
;
of
Honour
vain
things
.
For
riches
breed
Couetousnesse
and
Auarice
;
Pleasures
bring
foorth
Gluttonie
and
wantonnesse
;
Honour
,
norisheth
Pride
,
and
Vaine-glory
,
and
I
tell
you
if
you
receiue
not
the
witnesse
of
men
,
the
witnesse
of
God
is
greater
.
15
Beasts
&
all
creatures
hate
this
parsimony
,
it
is
the
royalty
of
the
Lyon
to
eate
but
once
of
his
prey
,
the
residue
hee
leaueth
to
other
,
and
commeth
not
againe
to
it
.
The
Elephantes
are
for
that
cause
dispraised
,
because
they
hide
their
teeth
fallen
off
,
that
no
man
,
or
other
creature
should
find
them
.
The
Lizzarde
,
that
knowing
her
vrine
to
congeale
into
a
precious
stone
,
couereth
it
in
the
sand
,
that
it
might
not
be
discerned
.
Of
what
brood
are
these
wicked
men
,
whom
no
example
of
God
,
or
Nature
,
or
Men
,
or
Beast
can
mooue
?
They
are
surely
some
Satyres
,
or
strange
Ethiopian
brood
,
or
peraduenture
sent
by
some
of
the
earthly
spirits
,
of
whom
the
Coniurers
say
,
They
keepe
the
Treasures
in
the
earth
,
that
no
man
may
vse
them
.
Such
spirites
are
these
,
that
is
;
Deuilles
,
but
in
other
shapes
,
that
onely
keep
goods
from
them
,
that
would
vse
them
better
:
let
the
world
sink
or
swim
,
they
get
none
from
them
,
and
if
God
were
mony
they
would
locke
him
vp
,
that
none
else
might
enioy
him
.
But
they
that
haue
this
worlds
good
,
and
see
their
Brother
perish
,
how
dwelleth
the
loue
of
God
in
them
?
that
is
,
there
dwelleth
no
loue
of
God
in
them
,
and
so
out
of
God
his
loue
I
leaue
them
.
16
But
let
mee
not
bee
vnderstood
,
that
I
speake
against
all
keeping
and
storing
vp
of
money
,
and
other
things
,
as
though
it
were
vnlawfull
to
possesse
any
more
prouision
of
meat
,
then
for
a
meale
;
of
Money
,
then
for
a
day
;
of
Garments
then
one
,
for
one
body
,
and
so
of
the
residue
.
God
forbid
,
for
so
in
time
of
necessity
man
should
be
vnprouided
of
helpe
when
hee
shold
vse
it
.
God
hath
euer
in
store
.
There
is
no
question
of
Corne
and
Cattle
,
but
of
Iewels
,
and
money
,
and
such
like
.
Salomon
in
my
text
,
biddeth
to
look
to
the
hee
Goats
,
that
they
may
be
a
price
of
the
fielde
.
Money
must
be
prouided
against
sicknesse
,
sute
,
enemies
of
our
country
,
and
for
all
other
necessities
.
Iacob
had
money
,
which
hee
sent
by
his
sonnes
into
Egipt
for
Corne
,
the
first
and
second
time
.
Abraham
had
Money
,
wherewith
all
hee
bought
the
field
of
Emor
.
The
Church
had
her
store
,
Acts
2.
and
5.
and
therefore
let
no
man
thinke
it
against
conscience
,
to
be
alway
prouided
against
wants
:
wherein
the
rule
of
Socrates
was
good
(
if
it
could
bee
followed
)
that
a
mans
Treasure
should
neither
be
bigger
nor
lesser
then
his
necessity
.
But
because
that
cannot
be
knowne
,
it
is
good
our
store
be
more
plentiful
,
so
our
charity
be
neuer
the
lesse
.
When
Iphicrates
pitched
his
Tents
in
a
little
open
fielde
,
and
then
beganne
to
trench
and
wall
them
,
his
General
asked
why
he
did
so
,
and
what
hee
feared
?
To
whom
hee
answered
,
such
a
question
became
not
a
commander
,
Ah
undans
cautela
non
nocet
,
we
can
neuer
bee
enough
secured
against
future
perilles
.
King
Alexander
seeing
one
of
his
Souldiers
going
to
sharpen
his
Dart
when
all
other
were
going
to
fight
,
cashiered
him
,
and
cast
him
out
of
the
Army
;
saying
,
Inutilis
acie
,
qui
pararet
arma
tunc
cum
ijs
vtendum
.
17
Let
vs
therefore
keepe
our
honest
store
:
for
thereby
did
Abigail
mollifie
the
angry
and
displeased
heart
of
Dauid
,
when
hee
came
against
her
husband
Nabal
:
and
if
the
present
she
brought
him
,
had
not
beene
present
and
at
hande
,
it
had
not
failed
,
but
they
all
had
perrished
before
so
much
coulde
haue
beene
prouided
.
Our
Cofers
must
not
be
like
the
sealed
bags
,
which
Alexius
left
at
Ancona
,
when
hee
had
compounded
the
warres
with
the
King
of
Almanes
.
For
the
Emperour
Comnenus
his
Maister
,
who
being
to
leaue
Hostages
of
mony
with
the
Citizens
,
both
rich
and
poore
,
meet
before
the
Lorde
together
.
Now
followeth
a
conclusion
of
all
,
which
standeth
in
the
amplifyed
distribution
of
the
charge
,
who
they
be
that
must
be
looked
vnto
,
who
entertained
and
maintained
,
who
to
be
prouided
for
,
and
so
an
end
.
Our
Flockes
and
Heardes
,
Family
and
Maydens
,
are
many
in
the
figure
,
for
I
will
allegorize
them
,
as
well
as
handle
them
literally
.
18
And
in
the
first
place
,
the
subiect
of
our
Wisedome
,
Gouernment
,
Wealth
,
and
Mercie
,
seemeth
to
bee
our
Countrey
,
the
common
parent
of
vs
all
,
which
though
it
beare
vs
as
the
horse
doeth
the
Rider
,
and
as
the
oxen
draweth
the
Waine-man
in
his
Cart
,
yet
must
it
be
directed
and
defended
by
vs
.
In
it
wee
haue
all
our
shares
and
inheritances
;
of
it
,
wee
receiue
our
liues
and
breath
,
and
therefore
for
it
we
ought
to
apply
our
care
and
power
.
If
wee
forget
Ierusalem
(
say
the
Iewes
in
Babilon

then
let
my
right
hand
forget
her
cunning
.
Vandals
;
Sodom
,
Senacharih
,
whereof
(
it
consisting
of
almost
two
hundred
thousand
men
)
they
died
all
in
one
night
,
Constantinople
,
Anno
760.
was
so
dispeopled
by
a
Pestilence
,
that
the
Emperor
Copronymus
,
was
faine
to
fetch
men
from
other
Countreyes
to
inhabite
the
houses
,
least
they
should
fall
down
.
Before
the
Danes
comming
into
England
,
there
were
aboue
forty
thousand
Churches
,
A
fruitfnl
Land
is
made
barren
for
the
sinnes
of
them
that
dwell
therein
.
19
Your
Wiues
and
Husbandes
are
also
your
flocke
,
these
must
be
taken
heede
vnto
,
for
the
married
are
like
the
Palmes
,
they
are
Males
and
Females
,
so
they
must
bee
planted
one
beside
another
;
yea
,
the
Boughes
of
the
male
must
bee
sometimes
wreathed
and
put
vpon
the
Female
,
or
else
it
will
not
prosper
,
but
mourne
and
pine
away
.
So
it
is
betwixt
Man
and
wife
,
there
must
be
more
then
sight
of
each
other
,
for
they
are
bone
of
each
others
bones
,
&
Flesh
of
each
others
flesh
.
Flesh
cut
asunder
,
looseth
the
vital
powers
and
so
dyeth
,
but
vnited
,
growes
together
again
,
and
so
liueth
.
No
Man
,
but
hee
which
is
wise
knoweth
,
what
heede
to
take
or
respect
to
bear
to
his
Wife
;
For
Christ
doth
thereby
decipher
his
loue
to
his
Church
.
So
ought
a
Man
to
loue
his
Wife
as
Christ
loued
his
Church
,
who
gaue
himselfe
for
it
.
Euery
one
that
is
marryed
hath
giuen
away
himselfe
.
Sweet
are
the
bandes
of
Wedlocke
,
yet
they
are
bandes
and
must
restraine
vs
:
Bonum
est
coniugium
tamen
à
iugo
tractum
:
Be
not
vnequally
yoked
with
Infidels
.
They
which
are
yoaked
haue
no
power
but
to
draw
,
those
which
are
marryed
,
haue
no
liberty
but
to
loue
and
looke
to
one
another
.
When
Darius
had
lost
his
Kingdomes
,
and
Credit
,
and
Honour
,
and
Liberty
,
hee
wept
not
for
all
that
:
but
when
he
heard
tell
that
his
Wife
was
dead
,
then
hee
wept
bitterly
.
So
neare
and
deare
are
the
minds
of
them
that
be
vertuously
married
,
that
they
cannot
part
without
a
thousand
sorrowes
.
They
are
to
each
other
a
true
Glasse
,
as
is
the
face
,
so
is
it
in
the
Glasse
;
as
is
the
Mans
and
Husbandes
,
so
should
bee
the
honest
Wiues
;
as
is
the
louing
Wiues
,
so
should
bee
the
tender
Husbandes
.
To
conclude
,
As
the
vine
on
the
house
toppe
,
so
is
the
Wife
;
The
vine
as
it
is
of
excellent
vse
,
so
it
is
wonderfull
weake
,
and
except
the
Gardiner
support
it
,
it
will
lye
on
the
Earth
and
bear
nothing
.
The
wife
must
also
be
tendred
&
supported
,
or
else
she
cannot
yeeld
the
Wine
of
comforte
to
make
thee
haue
a
glad
heart
.
In
euery
Mans
charge
there
are
faultes
to
bee
espied
,
no
Man
casteth
away
his
flocke
for
one
sicknesse
?
No
,
if
hee
haue
a
thousand
Sheepe
,
and
nine
hundred
fall
foule
,
yet
letteth
the
sicke
go
,
&
keepeth
the
residue
.
Wiues
haue
their
faults
and
frailty
,
and
men
are
not
cleare
:
Vnicuique
dedit
vitium
natura
creato
.
Wee
are
all
blameable
one
way
or
other
,
therefore
spare
one
another
,
forbear
one
another
,
and
let
nothing
breake
of
loue
:
but
that
which
dissolueth
Matrimony
,
that
is
whoredome
,
and
the
God
of
all
loue
shal
marry
you
both
to
Iesus
Christ
.
20
I
proceed
:
Our
Parents
are
the
flock
and
charge
of
vs
that
are
Children
,
and
Children
are
the
charge
of
Parentes
.
For
wee
are
borne
weaker
&
more
feeble
then
all
Creatures
,
and
had
wee
not
some
body
to
receiue
vs
when
we
come
into
the
world
,
woe
were
it
with
vs
,
wee
might
make
a
short
and
woefull
stay
or
Tragedy
,
To
be
borne
,
to
weepe
,
to
dye
.
Neither
our
Parents
or
their
Antecessours
,
haue
any
thing
which
they
transfuse
not
into
their
Children
,
their
honour
,
fame
,
goods
,
or
staines
,
for
their
children
they
haue
them
,
and
in
despite
of
reluctance
,
they
will
descend
vppon
them
.
But
let
them
nourish
and
cherish
their
Children
,
and
not
their
sinnes
,
and
let
them
wisely
take
away
the
rotten
from
the
sound
;
I
meane
their
childrens
vices
from
their
persons
,
or
else
vice
will
ouercome
Parents
and
Children
.
Some
make
theyr
Children
Ludentes
Simias
,
Fodientes
sues
,
That
is
,
Eyther
they
bring
them
vp
to
nothing
but
to
play
,
as
many
of
the
rich
,
or
else
they
traine
them
to
nothing
but
to
delue
and
digge
the
earth
,
as
many
of
the
poore
.
Alas
poore
Children
,
better
vnborne
,
because
the
richer
haue
their
pleasures
deforming
them
,
and
the
poorer
theyr
labours
depressing
them
,
one
of
them
hauing
no
sence
of
Heauen
,
the
other
,
no
vnderstanding
but
of
Earth
,
and
both
of
them
without
God
to
bee
their
Father
,
and
the
Church
to
be
their
Mother
.
21
Our
Parents
are
our
charge
that
are
their
Children
,
we
ought
therefore
to
take
heede
vnto
them
:
Padan-Aran
,
and
what
miseries
did
hee
there
endure
for
twenty
whole
yeares
,
the
Lorde
God
hath
related
.
If
we
haue
any
glory
and
praise
,
let
vs
giue
it
to
our
Parentes
.
When
Antigonus
had
wonne
a
victory
,
yet
he
would
attribute
it
to
his
Father
.
Amphionius
and
Anapius
,
two
Bretheren
,
when
they
had
saued
themselues
from
the
Citty
Catanea
,
which
was
all
on
fire
,
and
remembered
that
their
olde
Father
was
yet
within
,
they
tooke
hands
,
and
forced
thorough
the
flames
,
and
with
difficulty
(
yet
with
safty
)
brought
away
their
poore
old
Father
.
Oh
,
Happy
Father
of
such
Sonnes
!
Oh
,
Happy
Sonnes
,
to
bee
such
Men
!
though
you
bee
dead
,
yet
will
all
good
Childeren
remember
you
while
the
world
lasteth
.
Bee
good
to
your
Parents
,
you
young
Men
&
Maidens
,
for
as
you
serue
them
,
shall
you
bee
serued
againe
;
if
curteously
,
your
Children
will
do
the
like
;
if
disobediently
,
yours
wil
also
pay
the
score
double
and
treble
vpon
you
.
22
The
Seruants
are
also
the
charge
and
flocke
of
the
Maister
,
and
the
Maister
of
the
Seruantes
,
each
must
be
carefull
,
the
Seruant
of
diligence
,
toward
his
Maister
,
and
the
Mayster
,
To
take
heede
to
the
heards
of
his
Seruants
.
Seruants
are
wilde
,
because
they
haue
been
wantonly
bredde
,
therefore
they
loue
no
discipline
.
But
let
your
loue
to
do
them
good
appeare
vnto
them
,
and
then
they
will
bee
more
honest
,
and
more
tractable
.
Great
thinges
haue
beene
done
by
Seruants
.
Isaac
.
By
a
Seruant
,
and
that
a
little
Maide-Seruant
,
Iudea
,
to
the
Prophet
,
and
there
cured
of
his
Leprosie
,
both
of
body
and
mind
.
By
a
Seruant
was
Darius
brought
to
bee
a
King
,
Netherlanders
.
In
sum
of
all
,
breake
of
Prodigality
,
and
neyther
you
that
be
Maysters
,
put
more
on
your
shooes
and
Garters
,
then
many
good
Men
on
their
whole
bodies
,
and
let
not
your
delicate
mouthes
,
buy
your
appetites
pleasure
to
deare
:
neither
suffer
the
poore
to
drink
more
in
one
houre
,
then
they
get
in
a
day
.
You
all
sit
with
Rulers
,
follow
the
wise
mans
counsell
,
Put
thy
knife
to
thy
throat
,
if
thou
be
a
Man
giuen
to
thy
appetite
.
Lastly
,
although
Salomon
nameth
none
in
this
Text
,
But
the
family
&
the
Maidens
:
yet
he
excludeth
not
the
stranger
,
for
in
the
family
on
the
Sabbaoth
day
hee
is
commanded
to
rest
,
and
he
which
receiues
him
,
is
not
to
let
him
depart
on
that
day
,
as
it
is
Exo.
20
,
5.
And
althogh
it
be
not
in
the
estate
of
euery
man
to
entertaine
,
yet
is
it
a
duty
to
guide
and
direct
such
as
are
distressed
to
Houses
of
hospitality
.
And
indeede
in
auncient
time
,
men
were
onely
receiued
to
house
,
&
brought
with
them
their
owne
victuals
,
as
you
may
see
in
the
story
of
Iacobs
Children
in
Egipt
,
Iemini
.
Let
brotherly
loue
continue
,
and
bee
not
forgetfull
to
lodge
straungers
,
for
thereby
some
haue
entertained
Angels
in
the
likenesse
of
men
,
Lot
,
to
whom
the
Angels
came
before
the
destruction
of
Sodome
.
What
is
more
horrible
&
discomfortable
to
men
,
then
to
bee
without
harbour
and
House
;
Fountaine
where
againe
she
filled
her
bottle
.
They
which
inhabit
the
deserts
follow
the
footsteps
of
wilde
Asses
vnto
the
Water-Springes
,
which
without
them
they
should
neuer
find
;
and
therefore
loue
and
make
much
of
them
.
How
much
more
should
we
loue
to
bring
one
another
to
the
places
of
our
refreshing
,
and
not
shut
vp
our
doores
against
the
Straunger
,
as
Paradice
was
against
Adam
:
so
as
it
shoulde
bee
as
equall
or
ready
for
Straungers
to
dye
there
,
as
to
dine
there
.
The
Priestes
and
Scribes
which
put
our
Sauiour
to
death
,
could
Buy
with
the
Money
of
Iudas
a
place
or
field
to
bury
Strangers
,
but
let
vs
not
prouide
theyr
Graues
,
rather
their
Tables
,
whether
they
be
sicke
or
sound
.
When
Dauid
hadde
lost
his
Wiues
,
and
all
his
goods
,
by
making
much
of
a
Stranger
,
he
came
to
finde
and
recouer
all
againe
.
Euen
so
,
we
cannot
loose
by
curtesie
and
humanity
to
strangers
,
For
we
are
all
Strangers
in
this
world
.
And
if
the
first
Christians
had
not
receiued
the
Preachers
of
their
faith
(
that
were
straungers
vnto
them
)
into
their
houses
,
their
peace
which
was
the
peace
of
Christ
had
not
light
or
rested
vpon
them
.
Rahab
for
lodging
straungers
had
her
life
saued
,
and
as
many
as
shee
would
receiue
into
her
Family
.
We
read
of
the
ancient
inhabitants
of
Bretinum
in
Romandiola
,
that
they
did
contend
for
the
entertainement
of
strangers
,
and
for
that
cause
they
erected
a
Piller
in
their
Market
place
,
into
which
euery
one
of
the
Cittizens
draue
and
fastened
a
distinct
ring
,
and
that
euery
stranger
that
came
to
that
Towne
fastened
his
Horse
to
one
of
those
rings
,
into
whose
House
he
was
to
bee
receiued
;
The
Stranger
did
not
lodge
in
the
streete
,
I
opened
my
doores
,
vnto
him
that
went
by
the
way
.
Moses
.
Sebaste
,
that
is
Samaria
,
in
the
Graue
wherin
Elisha
was
after
buried
,
and
S.
Iohn
Baptist
.
The
widdow
of
Sarepta
,
a
heathen
woman
,
the
Sunamite
,
Martha
,
and
Lazarus
,
Zacheus
,
Simon
the
tanner
.
Gatus
,
Onesiphorus
,
and
other
had
neuer
been
spoken
of
but
for
their
Hospitality
,
and
receiuing
of
strangers
.
Theresore
let
not
the
good
Householder
forsake
strangers
,
for
the
Lord
loueth
them
,
and
goeth
with
them
:
and
if
they
be
receiued
in
the
name
of
Christe
,
whether
they
be
good
or
ill
,
he
wil
pay
their
reckoning
.
Learne
therefore
(
saith
Saint
Austen
)
learne
(
ô
Christian
)
without
difference
and
respect
of
persons
,
to
offer
entertainement
,
least
he
whom
thou
shuttest
out
of
doores
be
thy
Lord
and
Sauiour
.
For
he
saith
;
I
haue
been
a
stranger
and
ye
haue
not
lodged
me
.
I
tel
you
,
that
he
that
laboureth
for
Christ
,
and
he
that
refresheth
him
that
laboureth
,
shall
bee
both
rewarded
before
Iesus
Christ
.
To
whom
bee
all
present
and
eternall
glory
.
