wisheth

of
all
true
Honor
,
and

in
this

,
&
euerlasting
happines
,
in
that
which
is
to
come
IT
hath
euer
bene
the
naturall
disposition
of
man
,
(
right
Honourable
)
in
all
those
miseries
that
fall
vpon
him
,
to
turne
his
minde
a
contrary
way
,
and
thinke
amisse
of
the
cause
of
his
estate
and
condition
,
&
therevpon
to
vse
such
means
for
the
redres
thereof
,
as
shal
neuer
amend
,
but
rather
make
worse
that
whiche
they
would
helpe
;
or
if
they
take
in
hand
any
of
the
wayes
that
be
lawfull
,
yet
it
is
that
which
shoulde
bee
the
laste
,
as
their
owne
pollicie
and
wisdome
,
and
neuer
thinke
of
their
sinnes
that
haue
procured
Gods
displeasure
against
them
,
that
they
might
begin
by
repentance
to
seeke
reconciliation
with
him
:
which
prepostrous
dealing
doth
not
only
possesse
the
hart
of
perticular
men
,
but
also
beareth
the
swaye
(
for
the
most
parte
)
euen
in
common-wealthes
and
gouernements
.
For
we
see
,
that
when
any
thing
is
amis
in
the
same
,
there
is
great
consultation
,
and
prouident
aduising
,
how
things
may
be
redressed
:
but
the
wayes
that
be
taken
,
are
(
for
the
most
part
)
framed
in
the
shop
of
humane
pollicy
only
,
&
therefore
the
effect
thereof
,
is
but
as
the
loppinge
of
some
boughes
or
twigges
from
the
toppe
of
a
tree
,
after
which
,
it
doth
rather
flowrish
the
more
,
then
wither
away
:
wheras
it
shoulde
bee
considered
,
that
all
ennormities
and
disorder
doe
proceed
from
sinne
,
and
euerie
breach
in
a
state
,
from
the
displeasure
of
the
Lorde
for
the
contempte
or
neglect
of
his
holy
commaundements
:
and
therefore
(
if
euer
wee
looke
to
haue
our
policies
prosper
)
to
search
more
narowly
into
the
wil
of
God
,
to
the
end
it
may
be
established
with
more
authority
,
and
practized
with
more
holy
obedience
;
and
then
shoulde
those
wise
plots
,
that
the
guiftes
of
nature
or
experience
doe
teach
vs
,
(
when
once
they
com
in
their
place
attendinge
vppon
that
Souereigne
scepter
of
Gods
most
blessed
word
)
receiue
a
blessinge
from
the
Lorde
and
haue
a
good
issue
,
whiche
else
shall
bee
as
the
winde
,
that
beeinge
long
trauelled
of
,
when
it
is
brought
forth
doeth
vanishe
,
as
the
smoake
in
the
sight
of
the
sunne
.
This
lesson
doth
the
holy
Ghoste
,
(
by
this
his
Prophet
IOEL
)
teache
vnto
vs
in
his
firste
chapter
,
more
at
large
,
the
doctrine
wherof
(
as
neere
as
I
could
remember
)
according
as
the
Lorde
did
inable
me
to
vtter
it
,
I
haue
penned
,
being
drawne
thereunto
,
both
by
the
importunitie
of
some
,
whom
I
might
not
well
denie
in
so
honest
a
request
,
as
also
by
the
conueniencye
of
the
doctrine
,
for
the
instruction
of
moe
then
heard
it
.
Nowe
among
many
other
notable
instrumentes
,
that
the
Lorde
(
in
his
mercie
)
hath
stirred
vp
,
not
onely
to
wishe
well
vnto
,
but
also
to
trauayle
for
the
good
of
that
poore
people
his
faythfull
seruauntes
,
among
whom
it
hath
pleased
him
to
place
me
,
not
onely
I
,
but
they
also
doe
stand
bound
in
dutie
(
and
shall
so
remaine
still
)
vnto
your
HH.
for
that
carefull
diligence
,
that
it
pleased
you
both
to
vse
,
then
,
to
intreat
for
vs
,
when
(
if
God
had
not
beene
on

side
)
the
floodes
of
malicious
mens
practises
had
runne
ouer
our
heades
,
to
the
vtter
vndoing
of
all
good

so
that
whatsoeuer
good
it
shall
please

weake
laboures

beene

¶
The
word
of
the
Lord
that
came
to
Ioel
,
the
sonne
of
Pethuel
.
Heare
ye
this
,
O
elders
,
and
hearken
ye
all
inhabitants
of
the
land
,
whether
such
a
thing
hath
bin
in
your
days
,
or
yet
in
the
dayes
of
your
fathers
.
COncerning
the
time
when
this
Prophet
liued
,
and
prophecied
,
diuers
men
haue
shewed
their
diuers
iudgements
and
opinions
:
whereof
,
if
the
best
and
most
probable
be
receiued
,
yet
it
is
but
a
coniecture
,
and
therefore
I
will
leaue
it
(
as
doth
the
holie
ghost
in
this
place
)
vndetermined
,
and
so
much
the
rather
,
for
that
the
ignoraunce
thereof
,
bringeth
neither
anie
dammage
to
the
truth
of
the
prophesie
,
nor
yet
any
darknesse
vnto
the
vnderstanding
of
the
same
.
This
onely
is
to
be
obserued
,
that
the
time
when
he
liued
,
and
the
age
wherevnto
hee
did
prophesie
,
had
great
need
of
the
doctrine
which
he
taught
them
:
for
that
(
as
appeareth
by
the
course
of
his
wordes
)
they
were
growne
vnto
great
extremitie
in
rebellion
against
the
Lord
,
and
besotted
so
senslesly
in
their
iniquitie
,
that
albeit
the
hand
of
God
was
heauie
vppon
them
,
yet
they
considered
it
not
,
but
to
the
ende
that
those
on
whome
God
had
ordained
to
bestowe
his
grace
,
might
be
rowzed
out
of
their
sleepinesse
,
and
they
whom
in
his
heauie
and
eternal
displeasure
he
had
cast
off
,
might
be
made
the
more
without
excuse
:
the
Lorde
stirred
vp
this
prophet
to
speak
vnto
them
,
which
teacheth
vnto
vs
this
doctrine
for
our
instruction
,
that
in
those
places
,
and
among
that
people
,
God
neuer
punisheth
in
his
visible
church
before
he
giue
warning
.
where
(
in
any
maner
)
his
name
is
called
vpon
,
the
Lord
wil
euer
(
in
more
or
lesse
measure
)
make
knowne
his
iudgements
for
their
particular
sinnes
,
and
shewe
vnto
them
the
way
to
escape
the
same
,
and
meanes
howe
to
preuent
it
:
to
this
end
,
that
when
either
in
any
one
priuate
person
,
the
matter
shall
be
discoursed
in
the
court
of
his
owne
conscience
,
or
when
the
Lord
shall
call
men
vnto
a
reckoning
,
all
colour
of
excuse
may
be
taken
away
,
and
their
iudgement
(
if
they
repent
not
)
may
be
made
vnto
them
(
euen
by
their
owne
confession
)
more
iust
:
for
albeit
that
the
verye
visible
creatures
of
God
,
which
we
dayly
see
before
our
eies
,
and
haue
(
by
the
blessing
of
God
)
from
time
to
time
to
attend
vppon
vs
,
and
minister
vnto
our
seueral
necessities
,
are
sufficient
to
teach
vs
,
so
much
of
the
wisedome
and
knowledge
of
God
,
as
to
make
vs
excuselesse
:
yet
when
God
●●all
go
thus
far
with
vs
,
as
to
speake
vnto
vs
out
of
his
holie
worde
,
to
teach
vs
,
not
onelie
in
generall
,
what
he
required
at
our
handes
,
but
in
particular
also
,
to
conuict
vs
of
the
sinnes
that
wee
stand
guiltie
of
before
his
maiestie
,
and
to
shewe
vs
both
the
meanes
howe
to
be
ridde
of
them
,
and
to
do
the
things
that
he
commandeth
:
when
(
I
say
)
the
Lorde
shall
go
thus
farre
with
vs
,
if
then
we
turne
not
vnto
him
,
in
forsaking
the
waies
of
wickednes
,
and
submitting
our selues
to
the
rule
and
gouernment
of
his
blessed
worde
,
our
excuse
being
(
euen
in
our
owne
iudgement
)
lesse
,
our
iudgement
must
needs
be
the
more
heauy
.
Nowe
euery
one
of
vs
must
applie
this
to
our
owne
hearts
,
and
make
it
a
particular
doctrine
for
our
seuerall
instructions
,
seeing
that
God
(
in
most
plentifull
maner
)
hath
shewed
vnto
vs
this
vnspeakeable
mercie
and
grace
,
as
to
teach
vs
from
time
to
time
the
waies
that
we
are
to
walke
in
,
which
if
we
doe
not
,
we
make
our selues
guilty
of
our
iudgement
aboue
them
of
Sodom
,
and
bring
our selues
into
a
more
miserable
condition
than
they
of
Gomorrah
?
Now
,
to
shew
you
the
cause
,
of
this
change
of
my
course
,
in
leauing
of
our
ordinary
porti●ns
of
scripture
,
&
taking
this
in
hand
,
it
is
briefely
this
:
as
all
scripture
doth
at
all
times
belong
to
gods
church
,
good
is
to
be
taught
therin
:
so
are
there
some
parts
therof
that
do
more
properly
belong
vnto
some
times
,
Our
time
like
vnto
that
in
which
Ioel
prophesied
.
places
,
&
persons
:
Now
for
so
much
as
that
time
,
&
this
,
wherein
wee
presently
do
liue
,
being
compared
togither
,
are
found
to
bee
(
in
euery
respect
)
very
like
the
one
to
the
other
,
I
think
the
doctrine
that
then
fitted
them
,
to
be
very
necessary
for
vs
,
vpon
the
like
occasion
,
for
as
the
hand
of
God
was
vpon
them
in
the
want
of
bread
,
so
(
though
not
in
the
like
measure
)
is
it
vpon
vs
:
as
they
had
little
sence
,
or
feeling
therof
,
to
acknowledge
it
,
the
punishment
of
god
vpon
them
for
their
sins
,
but
ascribed
it
to
other
causes
,
so
do
we
,
imputing
it
,
some
to
the
hardnes
of
wise
mens
hearts
,
some
to
the
the
euery
of
transporting
,
and
some
to
the
vnseasonable
times
,
A
comparison
betwixt
Israel
&
vs
,
conteining
the
sum
of
these
sermons
.
but
few
look
into
themselues
,
&
their
sins
,
that
procure
the
Lord
to
turn
the
hearts
of
men
,
&
the
benefit
of
heauen
&
earth
from
vs
:
as
the
Lord
hauing
sent
famine
,
which
preuailed
not
with
them
,
to
their
conuersion
,
did
threaten
to
send
a
more
violent
and
forcible
rod
,
the
inuasion
of
strangers
vpon
the
land
:
so
doth
hee
by
many
warnings
&
tokens
threaten
the
same
vnto
vs
,
&
(
lastly
)
as
the
Lord
prescribed
vnto
them
,
if
euer
they
looked
to
haue
his
iudgements
present
,
remoued
,
or
those
that
hanged
ouer
their
heads
,
turned
away
,
they
must
meet
the
Lord
,
and
preuent
his
wrath
,
by
fasting
and
praier
,
which
might
be
as
means
to
bring
them
to
the
true
humiliation
of
their
soules
:
so
we
,
that
by
the
same
sins
,
are
punished
,
&
threatned
in
the
same
maner
,
by
the
hand
&
rod
of
the
same
ielous
God
,
if
euer
we
look
to
be
reduced
soundlye
againe
into
his
fauour
,
must
take
the
same
course
,
that
hee
(
which
did
knowe
the
best
waye
)
prescribed
vnto
them
.
The
word
of
the
Lord
.
)
Before
that
the
holy
Ghost
setteth
downe
vnto
vs
the
matter
of
hys
prophesie
,
he
first
of
all
speaketh
of
the
party
,
that
was
sent
to
doe
thys
message
,
and
the
Author
from
whome
it
was
addressed
,
conteyned
in
the
first
verse
:
wherin
,
hee
describing
the
Ambassadour
that
GOD
,
did
send
,
doth
not
shewe
hys
pedegree
,
from
anye
notable
,
and
famous
man
in
Israell
,
nor
of
what
Tribe
hee
was
,
whether
he
was
of
the
ordinary
ministers
of
the
order
of
Leui
,
or
of
some
other
familie
,
raised
vp
extraordinarylie
from
God
,
wythout
the
calling
of
men
:
the
which
,
(
though
it
be
so
)
bringeth
no
doubt
either
of
the
doctrine
to
be
deliuered
,
or
of
the
party
by
whom
it
is
to
be
made
knowen
.
For
as
concerning
the
doctrine
,
albeit
it
be
euery
way
authenticall
(
that
is
,
of
sufficient
authoritie
in
it selfe
)
yet
when
wee
looke
into
the
matters
for
which
this
prophet
is
alleadged
,
in
the
new
Testament
we
shall
see
,
that
with
the
Lord
it
is
of
soueraigne
account
,
being
made
(
as
it
were
)
the
vmpare
of
so
great
matters

for
it

with
few
wordes

not
so
carefully
describing
his
flocke

as
often
he
doeth
in
others
of
the
Prophets
,
to
the
ende
,
that
the
matter
wherof
he
was
to
speake
,
being
of
so
great
importance
they
might
regarde
and
respect
it
,
and
not
the
party
by
whom
it
was
to
be
vttered
:
which
thing
is
also
vnto
vs
worthy
the
consideration
,
to
teach
vs
that
wee
maye
not
hang
the
credite
or
truth
of
the
worde
of
God
,
The
authoritie
of
gods
word
dependeth
not
on
man
.
on
the
sleeue
of
him
that
vttereth
it
,
but
to
receiue
and
imbrace
it
(
as
it
is
indeede
)
for
the
worde
of
God
whatsoeuer
hee
bee

speaketh
it

whereby
I
doe

that
wee
are

with

sinisterly

preacheth
the
word
,
and
him
also
that
sincerely
,
and
with
a
sincere
conscience
deliuereth
it
,

for
the
thing
it selfe

to
esteeme
of

and
(
by

may
receiue
it
in
a
vessell
fit
and
worthy
(
as
neare
as
can
be
)
so
pretious
treasure
:
the
which
may
be
made
more
euident
by
a
comparison
from
the
body
to
the
soule
,
and
from
the
food
of
the
bodie
to
the
foode
of
the
soule
:
for
as
meate
is
stil
the
creature
of
God
,
ordained
for
the
nourishing
of
mans
bodie
whatsoeuer
it
be
,
dressed
and
made
ready
by
a
neate
and
cleanlie
cooke
,
or
by
him
that
doeth
handle
it
sluttishly
and
vnhansomly
:
so
is
the
worde
of
God
,
being
ordained
for
the
feeding
of
the
soule
,
still
to
be
esteemed
the
same
in
it selfe
,
whatsoeuer
he
be
that
dispenseth
it
vnto
vs
,
but
as
there
is
no
man
that
hath
care
of
the
health
of
his
body
,
that
will
haue
his
meate
dressed
(
if
he
can
choose
)
by
him
that
either
for
want
of
skill
can
not
,
or
of
curious
vanitie
will
not
vse
it
as
hee
should
,
least
by
the
rawnesse
thereof
,
or
by
some
euil
and
vnwholsome
mixture
,
it
bring
poison
in
stead
of
nourishment
,
euen
so
,
no
man
that
hath
care
in
deede
of
his
owne
soule
,
will
commit
it
indifferentlie
(
without
any
choice
)
to
the
riffe-raffe
,
and
common
sorte
of
Popish
priests
,
but
to
such
a
one
,
as
both
for
knowledge
is
able
,
and
willingnes
wil
be
careful
to
diuide
vnto
him
the
worde
of
God
aright
,
and
giue
him
his
portion
in
due
season
.
The
word
of
the
Lord
that
came
vnto
Ioel
,
that
is
,
the
doctrine
which
is
to
be
deliuered
,
is
that
which
God
determining
to
make
knowen
vnto
the
people
of
Israel
,
did
first
reueale
vnto
his
seruant
Ioel
,
that
he
might
speake
it
vnto
them
,
which
wordes
beeing
diligently
marked
,
doe
affoorde
vnto
vs
diuers
doctrines
for
our
instruction
,
the
first
is
that
,
wherein
the
calling
of
the
prophet
is
prooued
both
vnto
his
owne
conscience
,
and
also
to
the
people
:
to
his
owne
conscience
thus
,
that
when
hee
should
enter
into
the
triall
of
himselfe
,
It
is
needful
for
a
Minister
to
be
assured
of
his
calling
.
and
into
the
consideration
of
his
estate
,
and
seeing
his
course
to
be
such
as
fewe
woulde
like
of
,
yet
this
might
be
his
comfort
,
the
Lord
had
set
him
aworke
:
&
surely
this
is
a
thing
most
needful
to
be
examined
&
considered
of
,
in
these
our
dayes
of
the
ministers
of
God
,
not
onlie
in
generall
in
respect
of
their
calling
,
and
the
manner
of
their
dealing
in
it
,
that
is
almost
euery
where
gainesaid
,
but
especially
in
those
particular
things
,
for
which
they
are
often
called
into
question
,
condemned
,
and
(
as
malefactors
)
punished
by
the
worldlings
that
vsurpe
vpon
them
:
for
as
on
the
one
side
,
if
we
shall
take
that
course
which
is
displesant
vnto
God
,
and
wherby
wee
doe
also
come
into
disgrace
with
men
,
our
estate
is
most
wretched
&
miserable
,
so
on
the
other
side
,
if
we
do
nothing
but
that
which
is
come
vnto
vs
by
the
worde
of
the
Lorde
,
that
is
inioyned
vs
from
God
that
hath
placed
vs
in
our
calling
,
though
the
world
think
hardly
of
vs
for
it
,
&
we
suffer
ignominie
,
losse
,
and
smarte
because
of
it
,
yea
,
though
it
bring
tediousnesse
vnto
our
owne
flesh
,
and
wearisomnesse
to
our
spirits
,
yet
this
shall
be
vnto
vs
as
an
inuincible
fortresse
,
as
a
brazen
wall
against
our
aduersaries
,
and
as
a
thousand
witnesses
to
testifie
with
vs
,
and
giue
vs
comfort
in
the
middest
of
all
extremities
.
Againe
,
the
calling
of
the
prophet
is
approoued
by
the
fame
(
euen
)
vnto
men
,
for
,
if
they
shoulde
haue
denied
that
which
he
spake
to
be
true
,
or
him
to
be
the
prophet
of
God
,
he
had
wherwith
to
answer
&
conuince
them
in
both
respects
:
in
the
first
,
that
that
which
he
said
must
needes
be
true
,
for
that
it
came
from
God
:
on
the
behalfe
of
the
second
,
that
he
was
the
prophet
of
God
,
for
that
the
word
came
not
in
generall
to
all
,
or
to
many
,
but
particularly
to
him
,
for
that
he
was
furnished
,
and
euery
way
inabled
,
not
onelie
in
the
vnderstanding
of
that
which
hee
was
to
deliuer
,
but
also
in
his
owne
conscience
perswaded
to
be
the
man
,
forsomuch
as
GOD
,
sending
the
message
vnto
him
,
did
thereby
assure
him
,
that
he
had
alotted
,
and
called
him
to
that
function
.
Which
if
we
marke
it
well
,
and
gather
a
generall
doctrine
for
our
instruction
out
of
it
,
doeth
teach
vs
how
to
knowe
the
most
reall
and
essentiall
markes
of
those
whome
wee
are
to
esteeme
the
messengers
of
God
sent
vnto
vs
:
The
markes
of
a
true
minister
.
for
if
it
be
true
that
God
sendeth
first
his
word
vnto
him
(
that
is
,
furnisheth
him
with
knowledge
of
his
wil
,
and
care
to
aduance
his
glorie
in
the
deliuerance
of
it
vnto
his
people
)
then
must
it
needes
follow
,
that
they
who
by
reason
of
lacke
of
knowledge
,
diligently
imploy
themselues
(
in
an
ordinarie
and
lawfull
calling
,
to
breake
vnto
the
people
of
GOD
the
bread
of
life
,
and
train
them
vp
to
the
knowledge
of
the
gospell
,
were
neuer
sent
of
God
into
that
place
,
and
therefore
are
not
(
of
his
people
)
to
bee
receiued
&
esteemed
as
ambassadors
from
his
maiestie
,
but
as
wolues
bursting
in
,
and
rauenners
sent
of
Satan
to
the
keeping
from
them
the
kay
of
knowledge
,
and
so
fore-closing
vnto
them
(
as
much
as
in
them
lieth
)
the
passage
and
entry
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
for
Gods
people
(
who
are
to
think
as
the
Lord
hath
taught
them
in
his
word
)
must
acknowlege
and
receiue
(
onely
them
that
are
found
to
be
qualified
with
the
giftes
of
his
ministers
,
the
first
wherof
is
euery
where
in
the
word
of
god
)
saide
to
be
the
gift
of
teaching
,
the
knowledge
of
his
mysteries
,
which
caused
the
Lord
(
before
he
sent
the
prophet
[
a

.
Ezech.
to
preach
vnto
his
people
,
&
denounce
those
iudgementes
that
he
meant
to
inflict
vpon
them
)
to
shew
to
him
a
booke
,
&
command
him
to
eat
it
,
which
signified
,
the
knowlege
&
present
readines
that
he
should
haue
in
executing
his
office
:
it
is
alwaies
said
,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
the
prophets
:
our
sauior
christ
saith
,
that
[

.
a
Scribe
taught
vnto
the
law
,
must
be
as
one
that
bringeth
out
of
his
tresury
old
&
new
,
&
S.
Paul
describeth
a
B.
(
by
which
he
meaneth
euery
Minister
of
the
gospel
)
that
he
[
c
](A14191-e690-b)
c
Tit.
1.9
.
must
be
apt
to
teach
&
conuince
the
gainsaier
:
but
I
wil
not
stand
on
this
point
that
is
so
clear
(
to
them
that
haue
eies
)
as
the
sunne
at
noone-daye
.
Euerie
man
will
confesse
,
that
no
earthlie
prince
will
send
an
ambassador
that
wanteth
eyther
knowledge
or
vtterance
to
deliuer
his
message
,
&
is
not
God
far
wiser
than
men
?
Againe
,
in
that
it
is
said
,
The
word
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
Ioel
,
we
must
note
to
what
ende
it
was
,
namely
,
as
followeth
in
hys
practise
,
that
he
might
make
it
known
vnto
the
elders
of
the
land
,
which
is
to
be
noted
,
for
many
there
be
in
the
world
,
who
(
if
they
haue
any
more
vnderstanding
than
the
common
sort
haue
)
do
by
&
by
persuade
themselues
that
they
are
(
as
they
are
termed
)
learned
ministers
,
albeit
they
haue
neither
vtterance
to
deliuer
that
which
they
know
,
neither
(
if
they
haue
any
gift
that
way
)
yet
make
smal
conscience
whether
they
imploy
themselues
in
painfull
preaching
or
no
:
the
end
for
which
the
word
came
to
Ioel
,
Learning
maketh
not
a
Minister
.
condemneth
both
the
sorts
of
them
.
For
the
first
we
must
note
,
that
the
holy
ghost
when
he
requireth
of
a
Minister
,
to
be
apte
to
teach
,
wee
must
not
thinke
,
that
he
meaneth
him
that
hath
it
within
him
,
&
is
as
a
tub
without
any
vent
,
for
that
is
but
as
a
candle
lighted
,
&
after
couered
with
a
bushell
,
but
he
meaneth
him
that
is
so
prepared
and
furnished
thervnto
,
that
he
is
also
set
on
work
in
the
same
:
and
therefore
it
is
,
that
the
prophet
Esay
saith
[
a
](A14191-e790-b)
a
Esay
.
50.4
.
that
God
had
geuen
vnto
him
a
learned
toong
,
that
hee
might
know
to
minister
the
word
in
time
to
him
that
is
weary
:
&
the
apostls
in
their
praier
intreated
God
for
the
gift
of

vtterance
:
&
for
the
second
it
is
clear
as
the
sun
,
that
he
who
(
hauing
all
the
gifts
that
may
furnish
a
Minister
vnto
his
calling
)
laboreth
not
painefully
wyth
them
to

others
,

Moreouer
,
in
that
it
is
said
,
that
this
word
of
the
Lord
was
vnto
Ioel
,
before
it
came
to
the
people
,
we
learne
another
lesson
for
our
instruction
,
which
is
,
that
as
the
Lorde
meant
,
that
this
worde
shoulde
be
common
vnto
all
Israell
,
yet
sent
it
first
to
his
prophet
,
that
by
his
ministerie
they
might
be
taught
it
,
so
doeth
hee
euer
(
in
that
ordinarie
waie
which
hee
in
his
word
hath
commended
and
commaunded
vnto
vs
)
deale
with
his
people
,
that
is
,
bring
them
to
the
knowledge
of
his
worde
by
the
ministerie
of
men
,
to
the
ende
,
The
preaching
of
the
word
is
the
meanes
whereby
God
will
be
knowne
.
that
wee
may
learne
(
if
wee
bee
willing
to
let
God
be
our
teacher
)
to
submit
our selues
vnto
that
his
ordinance
,
and
by
such
means
as
he
hath
and
doth
out
of
the
same
daylye
affoorde
vnto
vs
,
to
begge
and
expect
the
blessing
of
knowledge
,
and
the
graces
that
accompany
the
same
from
his
hands
:
which
doctrine
is
very
needfull
to
be
learned
,
for
we
see
that
men
waxe
so
wise
in
their
own
conceit
,
that
for
the
knowledge
of
the
way
to
heauen
,
they
thinke
(
as
their
practise
declareth
)
to
finde
out
a
better
waye
,
and
make
it
a
shorter
cut
than
GOD
hath
appointed
:
for
whereas
God
hath
ordayned
the
preaching
ministerie
of
his
worde
to
be
dayly
sounding
in
his
church
,
to
bring
men
vnto
knowledge
,
and
by
knowledge
vnto
faith
,
and
so
to
saluation
,
it
is
come
now
to
passe
,
that
(
the
most
men
thinke
that
waie
not
so
needfull
,
but
as
an
indifferent
thing
to
be
attended
vppon
,
or
to
be
refused
at
their
pleasure
,
and
therefore
doe
betake
themselues
,
either
to
such
a
sheepeheard
,
as
shal
keepe
them
in
ignoraunce
(
for
that
he
cannot
open
vnto
them
the
Scriptures
)
al
the
daies
of
their
liues
,
and
thinke
their
estate
better
then
theirs
that
bee
dailie
instructed
,
or
els
they
perswade
them selues
,
that
they
can
come
to
knowledge
sufficient
by
their
owne
priuate
reading
,
and
so
contemne
,
or
account
it
too
base
a
matter
to
be
a
scholer
to
preching
,
but
if
they

it

that

may

it

deliuered
vnto

that

receiued

the
word
of
the
Lord
,
whereby
is
sette
downe
vnto
vs
the
dutie
of
euerie
faithfull
Minister
of
God
,
which
is
to
keepe
himselfe
vnto
the
contents
of
his
commission
with
all
faithfulnesse
,
neither

,
nor
the

,
neither
dyminishing
anye
thing
there-from
,
nor
adding
anie
thing
therevnto
,
but
teaching
all
that
which
God
hath
put
into
his
mouth
,
and
no
more
,
which
is
diligentlie
to
be
obserued
,
and
carefullie
to
bee
looked
vnto
,
because
there
is
(
often
)
greate
faulte
committed
heerein
on
both
sides
,
for
some
are
verie
willing
to
deliuer
,
or
haue
deliuered
vnto
the
people
,
some
of
the
woorde
of
GOD
,
but
if
there
be
anie
thing
,
that
maye
offend
,
or
bring
anie
daunger
vnto
the
parties
,
they
thinke
that
in
anye
case
,
that
should
not
bee
medled
wythall
,
affirming
,
that
other
thinges
are
more
necessarie
,
and
that
they
belong
not
so
much
(
as
they
perswade
them selues
)
vnto
the
auditorie
which
in
some
things
may
after
a
sorte
bee
true
,
for
albeit
the
knowledge
of
the
woorde
of
GOD
,
and
euerie
part
thereof
,
belongeth
vnto
euerye
member
of
his
Church
,
in
respect
of
the
doctrine
therein
conteined
,
yet
there
is
some
place
and
time
,
wherein
the
Minister
of
GOD
,
is
not
bounde
to
speake
some
thinges
conteyned
directlie
in
hys
commission
:
as
for
example
,
to
make
choice
of
a
text
to
preach
vpon
vnto
a
country
people
,
that
teacheth
the
dutie
of
kings
,
&
out
of
the
same
to
deliuer
onelie
that
doctrine
,
is
not
conuenient
:
howe
then
is
it
,
and
after
what
sort
muste
wee
deliuer
all
that
we
knowe
?
Surely
thus
:
we
proceeding
in
an
ordinarie
course
,
and
comminge
by
order
of
the
text
vnto
places
of
Scriptures
,
that
conteine
the
duties
of
those
that
hear
vs
not
,
yet
are
we
bound
to
deliuer
herein
,
al
the
councell
of
God
:
but
you
wil
say
vnto
me
,
those
matters
(
not
belonging
vnto
your
people
)
you
are
to
passe
ouer
and
to
teach
that
which
is
more
necessarie
.
I
answere
:
that
so
should
I
betraye
that
worde
that
God
hath
put
into
my
hande
.
For
albeit
the
practize
of
a
Kinges
office
belongeth
not
vnto
the
ploughman
,
yet
the
doctrine
is
needfull
for
him
to
know
.
For
seeing
the
Lorde
will
be
praysed
for
the
blessing
that
wee
reape
by
good
and
vertuous
rulers
,
and
praied
vnto
for
the
amendment
of
them
that
bee
euill
,
howe
shall
this
bee
perfourmed
of
him
that
hath
not
beene
taught
it
out
of
the
woord
.
For
God
accepteth
no
praises
,
neither
heareth
anye
praiers
,
which
are
offered
vnto
him
without
faith
and
nothing
is
doone
in
faith
,
but
that
which
is
grounded
vppon
knowledge
:
the
like
is
to
bee
sayde
of
the
corruptions
,
and
wants
that
are
from
time
to
time
descried
to
bee
in
the
Church
,
for
the
attaining
of
the
amendment
whereof
,
the
praier
of
the
faithfull
,
is
verie
forcible
in
the
presence
of
GOD
:
and
so
of
all
other
thinges
,
what
soeuer
concerneth
the
good
or
hurt
of
the
whole
Church
of
God
,
or
anie
member
of
the
same
:
(
though
it
bee
not
for
euerie
one
to
practise
)
is
to
be
taught
by
the
Minister
of
GOD
,
vnto
the
Church
,
and
learned
of
euerie
hearer
,
that
hee
may
giue
GOD
hys
due
praise
for
the
one
,
and
entreat
his
fauour
for
the
other
.
But
the
Minister
of
God
,
which
laboureth
to
do
that
which
shal
be
found
vnblameable
,
will
both
deliuer
without
feare
,
(
as
God
offereth
conuenient
oportunitie
)
[

all
the
counsel
of
God
,
and
also
,
(
knowing
the
fountaine
of
knowledge
and
wisedome
,
to
bee
infinitelie
deepe
in
the
woorde
of
God
,
and
past
drying
vp
,
and
him selfe
neither
to
haue
receiued
anie
thing
els
in
commission
nor
to
haue
anie
promise
of
blessing
vpon
anie
other
course
)
will
keepe
him selfe
from
time
to
time
,
within
the
boundes
of
the
same
,
for
euery
thing
that
he
shall
deliuer
vnto
the
people
of
God
.
Heare
ye
this
)
the
calling
of
the
prophet
being
confirmed
,
and
the
manner
how
hee
was
furnished
,
being
laid
down
vnto
vs
,
it
remaineth
that
we
come
to
the
words
that
he
vttered
vnto
them
,
wherein
(
before
we
come
to
the
matter
)
hee
exh●●teth
them
to
attendaunce
,
and
diligently
to
listen
to
that
which
he
was
to
speake
vnto
them
:
as
if
he
should
haue
said
,
seing
that
I
am
sent
from
God
,
and
furnished
with
the
knowledge
o●
his
word
,
to
the
end
that
by
my
meanes
you
may
be
instructed
from
him
in
that
whic●
he
would
haue
you
to
knowe
&
put
in
practise
,
it
behooueth
therfore
that
euery
one
o●
you
,
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
,
not
onely
the
rulers
&
auncients
of
this
land
,
but
also
all
that
dwell
therein
,
doe
carefullie
and
with
all
reuerence
harken
vnto
and
receiue
,
that
which
I
am
to
deliuer
vnto
you
:
this
being
the
summe
of
his
entrance
,
it
remayneth
that
wee
consider
more
at
large
,
the
particular
duties
that
are
to
bee
learned
out
of
the
same
.
First
,
let
vs
note
:
Because
God
speaketh
man
must
heare
.
how
and
vppon
what
cause
,
this
exhortation
is
vttered
,
(
for
no
man
will
be
perswaded
to
harken
vnto
a
thing
,
but
being
induced
therevnto
by
some
reason
rather
)
and
if
you
marke
well
,
you
shall
see
that
it
is
inferred
vpon
the
words
of
the
former
vers
,
as
if
hee
shoulde
saye
vnto
them
on
this
wise
,
the
Lorde
hath
ordeined
me
his
messenger
,
and
giuen
me
a
message
,
to
deliuer
vno
you
,
and
therefore
it
is
meete
,
that
with
all
carefulnesse
,
you
hearken
vnto
the
same
,
and
(
if
it
bee
ryghtlie
considered
)
it
is
a
most
forcible
reason
,
for
seeing
that
the
LORD
is
hee
by
whome
[
a
](A14191-e1210-b)
a
Act.
17.28
.
wee
haue
our
beeing
,
to
whose
glorie
[
b
](A14191-e1230-b)
b
Prou
16.4
.
we
are
created
,
and
from
whome
we
[
c
](A14191-e1250-b)
c
Iam.
1.17
.
receiue
euerie
good
thing
,
there
is
great
reson
that
when
he
speaketh
,
wee
should
laie
our
hands
vpon
our
mouthes
,
&
with
all
reuerence
receue
that
which
he
wil
vtter
:
but
how
soeuer
,
men
in
general
termes
,
wil
acknowledge
that
it
should
bee
so
,
yet
indeed
,
when
we
come
to
the
trial
of
the
generall
,
by
his
particulars
,
we
shall
finde
the
very
few
do
beleue
that
it
should
be
so
:
or
if
the
tree
be
knoen
by
his
fruit
,
[
a
](A14191-e1300-b)
a
Math.
7.16
.
then
this
perswasion
is
seen
to
rest
in
the
harts
of
a
very
few
.
For
albeit
many
are
found
,
that
with
their
outward
appearance
,
seem
to
be
thus
affected
,
yet
,
few
are
found
,
that
learn
this
word
with
any
loue
,
or
reforme
their
liues
after
the
rule
of
the
same
with
any
care
or
endeuor
.
Now
can
wee
thinke
,
that
they
beleeue
it
to
bee
gods
word
,
or
the
messenger
thereof
to
bee
sent
from
God
,
which
despise
the
particulars
,
that
bee
taught
vnto
them
out
of
the
same
,
and
care
not
a
iote
for
any
obedience
therevnto
;
no
,
it
is
vnpossible
for
if
euer
it
entred
into
their
minds
,
that
it
were
a
message
from
God
in
deed
,
then
wold
they
also
be
perswaded
,
that
the
contempt
&
disobedience
therevnto
,
were
great
&
heinous
offences
against
his
glorious
maiestie
,
which
he
would
neuer
leaue
vnreuenged
,
&
so
(
if
not
for
loue
of
virtue
,
yet
for
very
feare
of
punishment
)
they
would
not
goe
on
in
such
monstrous
disobedience
as
they
do
.
And
therfore
let
euerye
one
of
vs
make
triall
of
our selues
by
this
,
They
that
obey
not
the
word
do
not
beleeue
it
to
be
of
God
.
how
surely
we
are
persuaded
in
our
harts
that
it
is
the
word
of
God
,
which
is
euen
in
so
much
measure
,
as
we
carefully
yeeld
obedience
therevnto
,
&
no
more
.
Again
,
we
se
how
the
prophet
nameth
first
of
al
the
elders
,
wherby
he
meneth
those
,
that
were
assistant
vnto
the
priests
in
the
gouernment
of
the
church
,
who
are
so
called
,
for
that
they
were
(
commonly
)
before
they
were
acounted
fit
for
that
place
,
men
of
ancient
yeeres
,
&
of
gret
grauity
among
the
people
,
now
he
spake
first
vnto
them
,
because
that
they
being
by
reason
of
their
authority
,
and
persons
of
great
regard
among
the
people
(
&
therfore
easily
drawing
after
them
the
greater
number
)
yelding
obedience
,
Great

.
might
bee
forcible
meanes
to
bring
on
others
,
or
refusing
to
harken
,
might
lead
many
with
them
to
disobedience
:
the
holy
ghost
thought
it
meet
,
that
his
prophet
shold
be
al
first
with
them
:
wherby
we
haue
to
learne
this
lesson
for
our
instruction
,
that
it
behoueth
them
whome
God
hath
placed
in
authority
,
either
in
the
church
,
or
common-weale
,
to
be
very
carefull
and
take
especiall
heede
that
they
(
yeelding
obedience
to
the
voyce
of
GOD
by
hys
prophet
,
in
this
place
)
doe
carefully
harken
vnto
the
woorde
of
God
,
and
in
their
liues
(
as
they
bee
placed
aboue
others
)
giue
no
example
for
them
to
follow
,
but
that
which
is
good
and
holie
,
and
(
if
they
would
well
consider
of
it
)
they
should
see
that
there
is
great
cause
that
they
should
doe
so
,
for
as
the
great
Cedars
in
Libanon
,
while
they
staied
,
are
a
defence
vnto
manie
shrubbes
and
bushes
vnder
them
,
but
if
they
fall
,
they
crush
all
that
be
within
their
reache
,
euen
so
,
they
that
are
of
higher
estate
and
calling
,
while
they
continue
in
the
feare
of
God
,
&
the
waies
of
holines
,
are
as
props
and
staies
vnto
many
that
look
vpon
them
,
and
great
meanes
to
drawe
others
on
by
their
authoritie
&
example
,
but
when
they
fal
and
giue
them selues
vnto
the
waies
of
sinne
and
wickednes
,
they
go
not
that
waie
alone
,
but
are
an
occasion
of
falling
vnto
manie
others
besides
of
their
inferiours
,
and
followers
,
nowe
albeit
it
be
true
that
(
because
one
man
sinneth
willingly
)
the
[
a
](A14191-e1430-b)
a

18.4
.
soule
that
sinneth
shall
die
,
yet
shall
their
bloude
bee
required
at
the
handes
of
all
them
,
that
haue
not
doone
their
dutie
to
bring
them
to
GOD
,
but
being
meanes
to
driue
them
from
hym
,
if
wee
could
bee
perswaded
of
the
trueth
of
thys
,
O
what
care
it
would
woorke
in
the
heartes
of
euery
one
in
his
calling
,
it
would
make
the
princes
of
this
worlde
,
A
meditation
for
all
superiours
.
and
all
the
rulers
put
in
authoritie
to
reason
thus
with
themselues
,
is
it
true
that
I
haue
a
share
in
the
actions
of
euery
one
that
is
vnder
my
iurisdiction
,
either
in
his
goodnes
(
if
by
my
authoritie
&
good
example
hee
be
brought
thervnto
)
or
in
his
wickednes
,
if
I
gouern
him
not
aright
,
or
giue
him
in
my
life
any
other
example
than
that
which
is
good
and
lawful
:
then
surely
haue
I
great
neede
to
looke
narrowly
vnto
my
own
ways
,
&
studie
carefully
howe
I
may
be
vnto
all
that
cast
their
eies
vppon
mee
,
a
president
and
patterne
of
all
vertue
and
godlinesse
,
then
woulde
the
Minister
that
hath
charge
of
mens
soules
reason
thus
with
himselfe
:
so
would
the
maister
of
familie
,
the
father
of
children
,
and
in
a
worde
,
all
of
any
superiour
estate
would
make
this
vse
of
it
.
The
cause
that
maketh
all
superiors
euill
.
But
alas
,
it
is
cleane
contrary
,
for
almost
euery
man
looketh
vppon
the
pleasure
,
ease
,
and
gaine
,
that
may
be
had
in
his
calling
,
and
followeth
after
that
to
the
vttermost
,
not
respecting
what

most

(

indeuour
our selues
to
vse

(

that
may

confirme

If
wee
were

this
,
it
woulde
make
the

to
be

For
our
continuall
instruction
and
comforte
wee
haue
yet
to
obserue
an
other
thing
in
the
maner
of
the
Prophets
speach
,
which
is
,
that
whereas
he
might
haue
spoken
indefinitely
vnto
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
,
which
indeede
comprehendeth
the
elders
also
,
hee
speaketh
distinctly
vnto
the
elders
,
and
then
vnto
the
inhabitants
,
as
if
he
should
say
,
hearken
,
both
you
to
whom
God
hath
giuen
greatest
measure
of
his
graces
,
and
so
are
aduanced
vnto

and
also
you
who
haue
obteined
lesse
,
and
therefore
liue
in
meaner
condition
:
that
is
,
lette
neither
the
knowledge
or
authoritie
of
the
elders

keepe
them
from
the
hearing
this
word
of
God
,
nor

let
euery
one
of
euery
condition
hearken
:
in
the
manner
of
which
speache
,
the
prophet
seemeth
,
as
it

of
set

,
to
take
away
the
excuse

word

first
from
the
elders
,
and
then
from
the
people
,
from
the
elders
thus
.
It
might
be
(
if
he
had
spoken
indefinitly
)
that
the
elders
might
haue
refused
to
heare
,
saying
thus
:
God
will
haue
his
word
heard
,
but
of
whome
,
euen
them
that
are
ignorant
and
neede
instruction
,
but
as
for
vs
wee
are
learned
,
and
knowe
as
muche
of
the
worde
as
the
preacher
can
tell
vs
:
or
,
we
haue
busines
about
our
offices
and
calling
,
that
we
cannot
attend
to
heare
him
,
wee
will
doe
it
when
other
things
are
dispatched
:
no
doubt
,
if
the
elders
were
of
that
mind
,
wherof
the
greatest
part
of
superiors
be
among
vs
,
they
would
quickly
alleage
such
things
for
themselues
that
they
might
be
exempted
from
hearing
:
How
the
vngodlye
that
haue
any
learning
esteem
of
preaching
.
for
it
is
a
common
thing
nowe
adaies
,
that
if
a
man
haue
in
his
owne
opinion
,
any
smattering
in
learning
,
that
hee
be
able
in
anie
sort
to
speake
of
the
principles
of
the
humane
artes
,
hee
is
by
and
by
puffed
vp
with
such
a
pride
in
himselfe
by
the
ouerweening
of
his
owne
gifts
,
that
he
disdaineth
to
submitte
himselfe
to
the
ordinaunce
of
GOD
for
any
instruction
,
not
onelie
refusing
to
be
instructed
by
the
same
,
but
persuadyng
hymselfe
(
the
spirite
of
pride
possessing
his
heart
)
that
he
can
learne
as
much
,
yea
farre
more
by
his
owne
priuate
studie
,
in
so
much
that
hee
accounteth
hymselfe
abused
if
hee
shoulde
be
thought
so
meane
,
as
that
hee
coulde
learne
any
thing
at
sermons
,
and
therfore
doth
he
vsually
absent
himselfe
:
or
if
it
happen
that
he
come
nowe
and
then
dropping
in
,
is
it
,
think
you
,
wyth
reuerent
preparation
of
his
heart
to
receiue
,
&
humble
submission
of
his
affections
to
be
informed
by
the
Lordes
message
?
Nothing
lesse
:
but
that
he
may
sit
there
as
a
iudge
,
to
censure
whatsoeuer
shall
be
spoken
,
to
approoue
or
disproue
whatsoeuer
his
humor
leadeth
him
vnto
,
and
so
in
deede
to
set
him selfe
against
the
Lords
ordinaunce
,
to
disgrace
it
,
neuer
giuing
any
more
reuerence
vnto
the
worde
of
God
there
deliuered
,
than
the
man
that
speaketh
,
carieth
opinion
of
learning
in
his
foolish
conceit
:
and
this
is
(
in
very
deed
)
no
lesse
than
to
iudge
euen
the
Lorde
,
as
many
doe
vse
it
,
and
to
set
him
to
schoole
:
but
when
the
wisedome
of
suche
men
shall
be
founde
more
perfite
than
the
Lordes
,
then
shall
they
haue
part
in
the
benefite
brought
vnto
vs
by
that
woorde
which
they
make
so
small
account
of
:
on
the
other
side
,
if
we
be
called
vnto
office
,
be
it
neuer
so
meane
and
easily
performed
,
it
is
as
common
with
the
most
to
make
that
a
sufficient
excuse
to
keep
them
from
the
hearing
of
the
worde
of
GOD
,
Why
so
few
magistrats
be
religious
.
and
if
they
can
alleage
,
that
they
haue
such
and
suche
affaires
of
the
common-wealth
,
to
bee
imployed
about
(
albeit
it
bee
oftentimes
nothing
so
)
they
doe
thinke
themselues
excused
sufficientlye
,
both
before
GOD
and
man
,
in
so
much
,
that
it
is
a
rare
thing
of
all
other
men
,
to
see
magistrates
be
ordinarie
hearers
of
the
word
:
but
if
they
had
either
anie
care
to
discharge
their
dueties
with
a
good
conscience
,
or
anye
religion
in
their
heartes
at
all
(
which
maketh
men
to
thinke
reuerently
of
the
woorde
)
they
woulde
saye
with
themselues
,
howe
can
wee
thinke
,
that
anye
thing
wee
take
in
hande
shall
prosper
,
seeing
wee
haue
no
more
care
to
heare
the
voice
of
GOD
:
if

it

exercise

Tell
you
your
children
of
it
,
and
let
your
children
shewe
it
to
their
children
,
&
their
children
to
another

TEl

vnto
your
children
)
Hauing
shewed
how
strange
a
thing
it
is
that
hee
is
to
speake
,
We
may
not
consider
of
Gods
worde
or
workes
for
the
time
onelie
.
that
they
must
so
learne
and
marke
it
,
that
they
may
from
time
to
time
recount
it
,
and
teach
it
their
children
,
with
charge
to
haue
it
propagated
vnto
the
generations
that
shoulde
come
after
:
whereby
wee
learne
first
,
that
wee
are
not
to
heare
or
make
vse
of
the
words
of
God
for
the
time
present
,
or
consider
of
his
workes
in
mercie
or
iudgement
while
they
are
fresh
and
newe
,
and
no
longer
,
but
to
vse
his
word
as
we
do
the
foode
of
our
bodies
,
that
is
,
to
eate
it
,
that
we
may
digest
it
,
be
norished
by
it
,
and
made
more
able
in
the
strength
of
it
to
walke
in
the
course
of
this
life
.
We
must
learne
gods
woorde
for
our selues
,
&
our
children
also
Againe
,
wee
see
,
that
it
is
enioyned
them
,
not
onely
,
to
knowe
and
consider
those
thynges
themselues
,
but
also
to
make
them
knowne
,
and
teach
the
right
vse
of
them
to
their
children
,
which
being
spoken
to
them
in
one
particular
,
is
also
enioyned
vnto
vs
in
regard
of
the
whole
worde
of
God
in
generall
,
that
is
,
that
we
haue
a
care
to
instruct
and
bring
vp
our
children
in
the
knowledge
and
feare
of
God
,
that
the
honour
of
God
may
bee
retained
among
men
,
and
to
their
posteritie
,
as
also
,
that
wee
may
leaue
behinde
vs
a
godlie
seede
:
the
which
,
albeit
it

gospell
,
that
it
might
appeare
to
be
a
duty
for
euer
required
of
the
people
of
God
,
yet
we
see
how
litle
it
is
(
almost
euery
where
)
regarded
:
in
so
much
,
that
for
lacke
of
godly
education
(
the
parents
letting
them
run
at
randon
)
the
youth
of
this
land
doth
seem
already
to
haue
receiued
vnto
themselues
the
profession
of
Atheisme
and
al
impietie
▪
which
(
if
parents
thought
it
their
duetie
to
instruct
them
otherwise
)
should
among
vs
be
redressed
.
But
lette
all
that
feare
GOD
,
and
make
a
conscience
to
obey
his
will
,
looke
vnto
their
dueties
in
this
behalfe
,
and
take
heede
,
that
they
passe
not
ouer
with
carelesnesse
,
the
education
of
their
children
,
as
is
the
manner
of
the
wicked
among
whom
they
doe
dwell
.
Besides
this
,
we
see
that
the
Prophet
willeth
this
to
be
made
knowne
to
the
generations
folowing
,
and
so
from
one
to
an
other
,
and
yet
it
is
a
particular
action
,
the
force
whereof
they
onely
felt
,
Gods
works
once
shewed
haue
a
perpetuall
rest
.
which
teacheth
vnto
vs
,
that
the
workes
of
God
that
hee
bringeth
to
passe
in
extraordinarie
maner
vppon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
are
(
in
regard
of
the
vse
and
end
of
them
)
to
be
considered
and
regarded
in
all
generations
.
For
if
they
bee
the
workes
of
hys
wrath
in
the
punishementes
of
hys
foes
,
or
sharpe
and
bitter
afflictions
vppon
hys
people
falling
from
obedience
to
hys
truth
,
or
yet
of
his
mercie
shewed
vnto
penitent
sinners
,
or
reuenge
for
the
iniuries
doone
vnto
his
saints
(
the
Lorde
being
alwayes
the
same
)
they
are
to
be
looked
for
vppon
the
like
occasions
,
and
especiallye
those
that
it
hath
pleased
the
holie-ghost
to
register
in
the
holie
Scriptures
,
which
are
therefore
set
downe
,
that
we
might
learne
by
them
the
punishments
that
wee
sin
not
as
they
did
that
felte
them
,
least
wee
feele
them
also
,
and
the
mercies
that
wee
may
take
the
same
course
which
they
did
(
that
in
the
loue
of
God
)
wee
may
finde
the
like
fauour
,
and
so
make
the
worde
of
GOD
both
in
the
preceptes
,
and
also
examples
therof
a
continuall
direction
for
the
course
of
our
whole
life
.
That
which
is
left
of
the
palmer-worme
,
&c.
)
This
is
the
thing
that
hee
hath
made
so
much
preparation
for
,
the
summe
whereof
is
thus
much
,
that
the
hand
of
God
was
so
vppon
them
with
punishment
by
famine
and
dearth
,
that
not
their
superfluitie
,
or
a
part
of
their
necessarye
foode
was
kepte
from
them
,
but
the
LORD
hadde
sent
his
seuerall
punishementes
vppon
them
,
one
after
an
other
,
that
among
them
they
had
deuoured
all
,
and
left
nothing
.
Now
if
wee
looke
into
this
that
the
Prophet
speaketh
according
to
the
action
don
,
there
was
none
of
the
people
that
needed
to
be
so
prepared
,
that
they
might
vnderstand
it
,
for
it
was
apparant
euen
before
their
eies
,
so
that
the
prophet
seemeth
after
so
great
speeches
afore
hande
,
at
the
end
to
say
(
in
effect
)
nothing
,
for
if
a
man
should
come
among
vs
,
and
call
men
in
the
market-place
to
drawe
neere
,
and
calling
for
attention
,
to
a
solemne
proclamation
,
shoulde
in
the
end
tell
the
people
that
corne
is
deare
,
and
so
depart
,
a
number
would
condemne
him
of
follie
,
and
yet
hee
should
say
as
much
(
in
effect
)
as
the
wordes
of
this
prophet
do
expresse
:
but
wee
must
vnderstand
and
that
it
is
not
simplie
the
thing
,
that
the
prophet
nameth
them
to
consider
of
,
and
no
more
,
but
it
is
their
sencelessenesse
,
and
securitie
,
in
that
they
beeing
thus
smitten
of
the
Lord
,
were
not
yet
mooued
with
repentance
,
nor
cared
any
whit
to
seek
reconciliation
with
his
maiestie
:
so
that
,
the
meaning
of
the
holie
ghoost
beeing
euident
,
it
remaineth
that
wee
obserue
those
thinges
out
of
the
words
that
are
to
be
noted
for
our
instruction
,
first
,
these
so
diuers
and
present
punishmentes
one
after
another
,
to
execute
that
part
of
the
Lordes
determination
,
which
the
former
had
left
vndone
,
doth
commend
to
vs
the
power
that
God
is
of
to
punish
the
sinners
&
transgressors
of
his
law
,
to
the
end
that
we
may
learne
to
take
heed
,
&
beware
that
we
cast
not
behind
our
backs
(
as
many
men
do
)
the
consideration
of
Gods
high
hand
against
iniquity
,
God
is
both
able
,
and
very
willing
to
punish
the
transgressours
of
his
lawe
.
but
rather
(
considering
his
power
to
plague
his
foes
)
to
haue
all
watchfulnes
ouer
our
own
affections
,
&
regard
to
his
commandements
to
do
them
,
least
we
procure
against
our selues
the
force
of
that
his
power
,
which
(
taking
hold
on
vs
)
must
needs
throw
vs
into
a
most
forlorne
&
wretched
condition
.
Besides
this
,
we
may
behold
the
readines
of
the
lords
wil
to
put
this
his
power
in
execution
,
which
also
is
to
be
obserued
:
for
euery
one
of
vs
,
is
easly
drawn
to
acknowlege
gods
power
&
abilitie
,
to
do
what
he
will
,
but
we
think
so
litle
of
his
iustice
,
and
presume
so
much
vpon
his
mercy
,
that
we
persuade
our selues
he
wil
not
execute
his
vengeance
vpon
vs
,
albeit
,
we
haue
done
&
doe
daily
prouoke
him
therto
by
our
manifold
rebellions
against
him
,
but
if
we
could
beleue
that
this
people
had
as
great
cause
(
indeed
)
to
stand
vpon
his
mercy
(
for
that
they
had
as
much
experience
as
any
since
euer
had
,
or
could
haue
)
as
we
can
any
way
pretend
for
our selues
,
&
yet
when
they
walked
a
course
,
not
agreable
to
the
calling
whervnto
he
had
called
them
,
were
seuerely
punished
,
it
would
make
vs
more
carefull
to
do
wel
,
that
we
feel
not
the
smart
of
his
powerfull
vengeance
,
&
not
go
on
in
the
course
of
our
own
ways
,
persuading
our selues
that
no
euil
shal
happen
to
vs
,
bicause
the
lord
is
gracious
&
merciful
.
Againe
,
we
are
to
consider
of
the
instruments
that
God
vseth
to
shew
forth
his
displeasure
vpon
them
in
this
place
,
&
they
bee
,
not
the
great
&
puissant
princes
that
then
liued
,
(
thogh
they
be
also
at
gods
commandement
)
nor
the
power
of
darknes
that
ruleth
in
the
air
,
nor
the
angels
that
attend
continually
vpon
him
to
do
his
will
,
for
all
those
we
acount
to
be
great
&
mighty
in
our
own
eies
,
but
it
is
the
seely
&
pore
vermin
,
that
be
of
al
other
gods
creatures
in
their
own
nature
the
weakest
,
&
in
our
eies
most
contemptible
,
which
notwithstanding
)
when
they
bee
set
on
worke
are
armed
with
such
force
&
might
,
The
least
of
gods
creatures
,
can
confound
the
greatest
men
when
God
will
.
as
the
holy
ghost
termeth
them
&
such
like
,
the
lords
mighty
host
,
wherby
god
hath
many
times
ouerthrown
great
&
mighty
monarks
,
as
Pharao
,
Herod
,
&
others
,
to
teach
vs
on
the
one
side
,
how
al
the
creatures
of
God
,
that
haue
their
beeing
in
and
vpon
earth
round
about
vs
,
are
Gods
prepared
souldiours
to
worke
our
vtter
ruine
,
when
wee
transgresse
hys
holye
commaundementes
,
and
on
the
other
side
,
what
little
cause
man
hath
(
if
hee
weigh
his
estate
aright
)
to
bee
proud
in
his
owne
conceit
,
or
perswade
him selfe
of
anie
valour
whereof
he
may
boast
to
be
in
him selfe
,
(
especiallie
when
hee
walketh
in
the
waies
of
wickednes
)
seing
hee
is
inuironed
with
so
manie
and
diuers
of
Gods
creatures
,
the
least
,
and
meanest
whereof
,
is
of
power
sufficient
,
(
if
God
speake
but
the
woorde
)
to
deface
all
that
whereof
he
boasteth
,
and
to
dissapoint
him
of
that
felicitie
,
that
he
vainly
perswadeth
him selfe
long
to
enioye
:
we
may
further
obserue
out
of
these
wordes
,
that
God
punished
not
this
people
with
one
affliction
,
and
so
leaue
them
vntouched
any
more
,
but
sendeth
vpon
them
one
of
these
creatures
after
another
,
because
that
the
first
had
not
effected
that
in
their
hearts
for
which
the
Lord
sent
it
:
for
GOD
scourged
them
to
the
end
that
they
might
be
reclaimed
from
their
wicked
waies
,
vnto
true
repentance
,
and
amendment
of
life
.
Now
when
he
seeeth
that
,
the
destruction
which
the
Palmer-worme
made
in
their
fruites
,
did
not
draw
them
therevnto
,
he
sendeth
the
grassehopper
to
spoile
that
which
the
other
had
left
,
and
so
after
a
third
and
a
fourth
kinde
of
consuming
vermin
.
Wherby
we
may
learn
this
lesson
for
our
instruction
,
God
wil
neuer
leaue
punishing
till
we
be
either
conuerted
or
vtter-confounded
that
whensoeuer
.
God
sendeth
vpon
a
people
,
anie
punishment
to
call
them
to
repentaunce
,
and
it
worke
not
the
same
effect
,
God
wil
still
send
punishment
vpon
punishment
,
and
alwaies
the
latter
to
be
sharper
then
the
former
,
vntill
that
people
bee
either
brought
to
renounce
that
course
which
God
punisheth
them
for
,
and
to
walke
in
his
waies
,
or
else
vntill
it
appeare
,
(
as
it
did
in
Pharaoh
,
&
his
people
,
by
their
seuerall
plagues
,
whereby
they
profited
nothing
)
that
it
is
a
stiffe-necked
generation
,
apparantlie
refusing
his
grace
,
&
so
to
be
cast
off
in
his
eternall
displesure
.
Marke
well
this
application
.
Which
doctrine
(
if
we
can
rightlie
applie
it
vnto
our selues
)
is
verie
necessarie
for
our
present
instruction
,
to
make
vs
see
in
what
case
wee
be
at
this
instant
.
We
all
know
,
that
God
hath
begun
to
deal
with
vs
in
this
point
,
as
he
did
with
the
Israelites
in
this
place
:
that
is
,
to
abridge
vs
of
that
plentie
of
breade
,
that
heretofore
(
by
his
great
mercie
)
wee
haue
long
enioyed
:
&
yet
by
the
shew
that
appeareth
vpon
the
earth
,
in
the
forwardnes
of
the
corne
,
hee
seemeth
to
haue
made
,
or
(
at
the
least
)
to
promise
,
an
end
of
the
former
scarsitie
,
wherby
we
also
promise
to
our selues
abundance
,
and
in
the
meane-while
,
neuer
alter
our
waies
from
anye
former
course
,
wherein
they
haue
bene
framed
,
nor
amend
any
thing
that
is
amisse
,
either
in
the
whol
church
and
common-wealth
,
or
anye
particular
member
of
the
same
:
wherein
it
may
be
,
that
we
shall
not
be
dissappointed
of
our
hope
,
(
for
God
may
doe
what
pleaseth
hym
best
)
but
this
I
dare
saye
,
(
&
as
sure
as
the
Lorde
liueth
,
and
his
woord
is
true
,
it
shall
come
to
passe
)
that
for
somuch
as
this
small
sign
of
gods
anger
,
hath
wroght
no
amendment
in
vs
,
(
which
is
the
end
why
God
afflicts
his
people
)
either
he
seeth
,
that
we
are
a
nation
who
haue
so
long
dallied
with
his
word
that
he
meaneth
to
remoue
it
to
a
nation
that
wil
bring
forth
more
fruit
,
and
so
(
leauing
of
to
smite
vs
anye
more
)
will
let
vs
run
on
to
our
own
destruction
:
or
(
if
we
be
that
people
with
whome
he
meaneth
to
continue
his
word
,
&
whome
he
will
soundlie
conuert
vnto
him selfe
,
hee
will
not
let
vs
alone
with
this
light
easie
blow
that
he
layde
vppon
vs
,
but
hee
will
either
in
the
same
kinde
,
by
remoouing
all
the
fruits
of
the
earth
from

The

in

drawn

vnfit
vnto
the
common
and

of

so
it
is
the
naturall

(

when

sober
)
of
all
vnderstanding

to

therefore
that
the

might
by

declare
,
that
he
looked
for
such
a
generall
amendement

as

reforme

he
speaketh
by

vnto
the

which
of

other
were
the
furthest
off
from
any
such
repentance
.
He
maketh
also
choice
of
this
kind
of
sin
,
rather
than
any
other
,
to
the
end
that
he
might
shew
vnto
the
people
what
estate
they
were
generally
in
,
euen
so
setled
in
sinne
,
and
drowned
in
the
depth
thereof
,
and
contented
to
abide
therin
as
the
drunkard
is
in
his
drunkennes
,
that
they
might
bee
brought
the
more
thorowlie
to

vnfaignedlie
conceiue
detestation

the
more
endeuour

whiche
doth
also
teach

how

it

The

in

perswadeth

is
a

,
that
of

they
are
furthest

which
they
labour
(
as
it

God
dissapointeth
the

rather
to
inforce
their

an
extraordinary
riot

mirth
,

they
propound
vnto
themselues
as
their
finall
felicitie

&
yet
the
prophet
persuadeth
them
vnto
weeping
,
which
is
the
thing
that
they
least
of
all
dreamed
euer
to
be
brought
vnto
:
but
such
is
the
manner
of
the
Lords
dealing
,
with
them

seeke
to
build
themselues
in
sin
,
&
to
bee
persuaded
of
an
assuraunce
,
thereby
euen
vtterlye
to
dissapoint
them
of
their
purpose
,
to
the
end
that
we
may
learne
to
behold
the
exceeding
vanity
that
man
is
blinded
with
,
when
hee
promiseth

him selfe

with
the
disobedience
vnto

which
is
a
thing
worthy
to
be
learned
of

&
so
much

rather
,
for
that
so
few
do
obserue
the
ishue
of
it
,
&
therfore
beleue
it
not
,
for
do
we
not
see
that
(
almost
)
euery
man
in
euery
calling
,
doth
of
purpose
keep
back
,
&
(
as
it
were
)
abridge
the
Lorde
of
that
obedience
that
his
calling
oweth
vnto
him
?
&
al
vpon
these
grounds
:
if
I
do
these

these

I
shall
expose
my selfe

therof

such

a
thing

(
which
indeed

vngodly

I
shall
find
great
ease

it

if
we
could
be
persuaded
(
which
is
most
true
)
that
the
onely
true
safety
is
to
yeelde
obedience
vnto
the
woord

God
in

point

make

neuer
so
fair
promises
we
shal
be
dissapointed
therby
and
fall
vnto
that
which
wee
least
feared
,
it
would
make
vs
not
to
trust
(
as
the
moste
men
doe
)
vnto
such
weake
and
broken
reedes
▪
but
onelie
vnto
the
LORDE
,
in
his
blessing
vppon
the
obedience
of
his
owne
commaundement
,
labouring
aboue
all
things
to
put
the
same
in
practize
,
and
to
committe
the
successe
of
it
vnto
hym
,
who
(
onelye
is
wise
,
and
knoweth
howe
to
bring
euerye
thyng
to
a
prosperous
end
.
The
Prophet
dooth
yet
further
proceed
,
in
laying
open
thys
matter
,
God
(
often
)
punisheth
the
abuse
of
greatest
aboundance
with
greatest
want
.
and
vrging
them
to
bee
affected
wyth
it
,
shewing
that
the
drunkardes
,
who
heretofore
haue
wallowed
in
all
aboundaunce
of
wyne
,
euen
vnto
excesse
,
shall
haue
theyr
condytion
so
farre
chaunged
,
that
it
shall
vtterly
be
cut
from
their
mouthes
,
that
is
,
they
shal
not
haue
any
tast
of
it
at
al
a
merueilous
chaunge
,
(
if
it
bee
well
considered
)
that
they
shall
come
from
so
great
plentye
vnto
such
exceeding
penury
:
but
we
may
see
therin
the
iust
iudgement
of
God
,
that
sendeth
vpon
man
the
gretest
want
of
those
things
wherein
hee
hath
most
abused
himselfe
,
the
which
is
notablie
set
down
by
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
Luke
.
15.16
.
in
the
example
of
the
prodical
son
,
of
whom
it
is
said
,
that
after
he
had
lauished
out
his
patrimony
vpon
whores
&
riotous
company
,
he
came
vnto
such
exceding
misery
,
that
he
would
gladlie
haue
fed
vpon
the
huskes
that
the
swine
ate
,
but
none
gaue
them
vnto
him
,
to
the
end
(
if
we
will
profit
by
it
)
that
wee
may
learne
to
imploye
all
Gods
blessinges
aright
,
but
especiallie
those
whereof
wee
haue
moste
aboundaunce
,
least
the
Lorde
conceiuing
displeasure
against
vs
,
doe
so
remooue
them
from
vs
,
as
we
be
brought
into
greater
misery
&
want
then
they
that
neuer
inioyed
any
of
them
.
The
maner
how
this
great
want
shall
come
vppon
them
,
is
also
to
bee
obserued
,
whereas
it
is
sayde
,
that
it
shal
be
pulled
or
(
as
the
originall
woord
signifieth
)
be
cut
from
their
mouthes
,
whereby
hee
meaneth
,
that
it
shall
be
taken
away
wythout
anye
remnant
left
,
to
come
vnto
them
,
to
the
ende
,
that
they
might
further
consider
of
the
exceeding
neede
that
they
shoulde
be
driuen
into
,
and
so
bee
persuaded
,
that
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
was
more
fierce
against
them
▪
which
coulde
not
bee
appeased
wythout
a
speciall
repentance
on
their
behalfe
,
and
that
in
more
measure
than
was
required
of
others
,
who
had
in
lesse
measure
prouoked
his
displeasure
.
For
albeit
the
Lorde
is
no
way
appeased
with
any
,
vnlesse
hee
doe
vnfeinedly
repent
him
of
his
wicked
wais
:
yet
he
looketh
for
a
more
deepe
lamentation
and
sorow
to
be
in
those
who
haue
most
greeuously
offended
his
maiestie
.
The
greatest
sinner
must
repent
most
deepelie
.
Besides
this
,
the
manner
of
the
speach
doth
shewe
vnto
vs
the
maruellous
securitie
that
they
were
ouerwhelmed
in
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
their
incredulitie
,
that
being
so
sinfull
,
as
their
owne
consciences
could
not
choose

plainly
to
deale
with

,
do
yet
cleaue
so
fast
vnto
their

,
as
nothing
can
remooue
them
from
delighting
therein
,
vntill
the
meanes
whereby
they
are
fostered

be
violentlie
taken
awaie

in
whome
wee
see
a
right
patterne
of
the
obstinate
and
impenitent
sinner
,
who
will
neuer
bee
brought
to
mislike
his
offences
,
nor
to
bee

that
hee
is
(
by

of

shoulde
be
consumed
with
fire
and
brimstone
vntil
they
felt
it
by
their
wofull
experience
:
little
thought
Pharaoh
that
euer
the
Israelites
should
depart
out
of
Egypt
,
and
hee
with
his
people
be
drowned
for
pursuing
them
,
vntill
the
sea
[

ouerwhelmed
him
and
all
his
hoste
:
and
would
not
the
Iews
haue
laughed
him
to
scorne
(
thinke
you
)
that
should
haue
auouched
that
vnto
them
which
our
sauiour
tolde
his
disciples
,
that
euen
the
day
shoulde
come
when

one
stone
of
their
goodly
temple
shoulde
not
be
left
vpon
an
other
.
The
Scripture
is
ful
of
such
examples
,
and
the
world
more
ful
:
it
is
the
nature
of
sinne
to
chaine
mens
affections
so
neare
vnto
it
,
as
all
the
threatnings
,
persuasions
,
exhortations
,
or
anie
other
the
most
forcible
kinde
of
speach
that
can
be
vsed
,
are
not
able
to
preuaile
with
him
,
to
make
him
beleeue
it
shall
be
so
,
vntill
it
come
to
passe
,
and
that
hee
see
it
is
so
indeede
:
and
therefore
it
is
no
maruell
(
there
being
no
discipline
to
driue
men
vnto
outward
godlinesse
vnlesse
it
please
them
)
if
so
manie
in
euerye
place
,
(
yea
where
the
woorde
is
most
sincerelie
preached
)
doe
runne
the
race
of
wickednesse
(
it
being
a
matter
so
hard
to
leaue
)
and
so
few
that
doe
vnfainedly
feare
God
,
and
shewe
foorth
the
fruites
of
it
in
their
conuersation
.
Yea
a
nation
commeth
)
Albeit
the
woord
that
is
here
translated
,
Yea
,
For
,
or
Because
,
and
the
word
,
Commeth
,
in
the
Hebrewe
bee
the
time
past
:
whereby
these
wordes
may
seeme
to
be
either
a
reason
of
the
former
threatnings
,
or
else
a
speach
of
an
other
punishement
,
which
the
Iewes
did
already
feele
more
greeuous
than
the
Famine
:
for
that
it
is
not
greatly
materiall
,
it
being
spoken
to
declare
their
mysterie
,
and
bring
them
to
repentaunce
:
whether
it
bee
spoken
of
the
plague
past
,
or
to
come
,
I
will
not
muche
stand
vpon
the
one
more
than
the
other
,
albeit
I
see
nothing
against
it
,
why
we
may
not
rather
vnderstand
it
of
that
which
is
to
come
,
than
of
any
thing
that
they
felt
already
,
both
for
that
it
is
cleare
,
that
hee
speaketh
of
a
different
plague
from
the
former
,
as
also
,
that
some
things
be
spoken
in
the
discourse
following
,
which
can
hardly
be
saide
of
the
time
past
:
neither
dooth
that
any
way
preiudice
this
sence
,
that
the
words
in
the
Hebrew
doe
all
run
,
in
the
time
past
,
as
speaking
of
a
thing
alreadie
done
:
for
they
that
are
but
a
little
acquainted
with
the
phrase
of
the
Prophets
,
do
know
,
that
it
is
their
vsuall
maner
,
to
speake
of
the
thinges
to
come
,
as
though
they
were
already
come
to
passe
;
to
the
ende
,
that
the
certaintie
of
their
prophecies
may
more
euidently
appeare
.
The
summe
of
the
woordes
,
is
a
description
of
the
force
and
〈◊〉
of
their
enimies
,
to
the
end
,
that
they
might
be
driuen
to
seeke
vnto
GOD
for
aide
and
strength
to
resist
them
.
The
lessons
that
we
haue
to
learne
out
of
the
same
be
diuers
:
first
,
in
that
the
Lorde
,
for
the
reclaiming
of
man
vnto
him selfe
,
God
vseth
many
and
diuers
meanes
to
draw
man
vnto
himselfe
.
doth
(
besides
his
worde
which
is
the
ordinarie
meanes
)
vse
many
and
diuerse
afflictions
,
oftentimes
of
contrarie
kinde
one
to
an
other
,
to
the
end
,
that
if
hee
will
not
bee
mooued
wyth
the
one
,
yet
he
may
be
drawen
on
by
the
other
,
so
did
he
deale
wyth
the
Egyptians
his
ennimies
,
first
,
sending
one
plague
,
then
an
other
,
after
that
a
third
,
and
so
to
the
number
of
tenne
,
and
all
to
the
ende
that
hee
might
drawe
them
to
yeelde
obedience
to
his
commandement
of
letting
his
people
go
:
so
dealte
he
also
with
the
Israelites
his
chosen
people
,
often
,
sometimes
afflicting
them

dearths
and

[

plague
and
pestilence
:
and
all
to
this
ende
,
that
they
might
be
drawne
out
of
those
corruptions
and
enormities
wherin
they
delighted
,
vnto
the
true
and
sincere
seruice
of
the
euerliuing
God
,
whose
people
they
alwayes
professed
themselues
to
be
,
so
dooth
hee
deale
with
vs
(
as
wee
maye
see
by
our
owne
experience
)
sometimes
he
afflicteth
vs
wyth
sickenesse
,
and
if
that
doe
vs
no
good
,
hee
sendeth
outward
trouble
by
vnquiet
neighboures
,
if
that
preuaile
not
,
hee
bringeth
vs
into
pouertie
,
after
that
into
troubles
,
in
respect
of
our
wiues
,
children
,
families
,
or
kinsefolkes
:
all
which
hee
dooth
to
driue
vs
from
delighting
in
any
thing
of
this
life
,
that
might
drawe
vs
vnto
sinne
,
and
to
put
our
whole
affiaunce
in
him
alone
:
This
doctrine
commend
vnto
vs
:
-
1.
Gods
care
of
our
good
.
-
2.
How
excuse
is
taken
from
vs
,
and
that
by
the
testimonie
of
our
owne
conscience
.
the
which
,
as
it
dooth
on
the
one
side
commende
vnto
vs
the
great
desire
that
the
Lorde
sheweth
himselfe
to
haue
of
our
good
,
in
that
hee
tieth
so
many
conclusions
to
profit
vs
,
so
on
the
other
side
it
sheweth
vnto
vs
,
howe
al
coulor
of
excuse
is
taken
from
man
,
that
when
he
doth
any
way
amisse
,
and
is
punished
for
it
,
he
shal
be
able
to
lay
the
blame
in
nothing
in
the
worlde
but
himselfe
onelie
,
yea
,
hee
shall
by
his
owne
knowledge
aggrauate
vnto
himselfe
his
owne
damnation
:
for
hee
shall
truely
saye
of
hymselfe
:
Hath
not
GOD
from
time
to
time
tolde
mee
of
my
faultes
,
by
the
ministerie
of
hys
seruanutes
,
and
called
mee
to
repentaunce
?
And
when
that
would
not
serue
,
hath
hee
not
putte
to
his
owne
hand
touching
mee
wyth
diuerse
afflictions
,
to
bring
mee
vnto
hymselfe
,
and
haue
not
I
despised
all
these
meanes
,
and
preferred
my
delight
and
pleasure
in
sinne
aboue
whatsoeuer
was
promised
in
his
holie
woorde
?
What
can
I
say
for
my selfe
but
euen
this
?
That
all
the
punishements
that
can
be
inflicted
vppon
mee
,
eyther
in
this
life
,
or
in
that
which
is
to
come
,
are
no
more
than
my
misdemeanour
and
obstinate
refusall
of
grace
and
goodnesse
haue
iustly
deserued
.
It
dooth
also
declare
vnto
vs
the
miserable
corruption
that
Manne
is
naturallye
defiled
wythall
:
Our
palpable
corruption
.
and
the
greate
backewardnesse
that
is
in
him
towardes
anie
good
thing
,
that
being
by
so
many
,
and
so
excellent
meanes
inuited
vnto
his
owne
wealth
,
dooth
yet
notwythstanding
,
still
renounce
and
refuse
it
,
to
the
ende
,
that
wee
maye
learne
howe
harde
a
matter
it
is
for
a
manne
to
beecome
truelie
religious
,
and
howe
easie
a
thing
it
is
for
a
man
to
deceiue
hymselfe
,
in
a
perswasion
of
that
whych
(
in
deede
)
hee
is
farre
from
.
For
doe
wee
not
see
,
that
he
whose
estate
(
of
all
other
)
is
most
wretched
,
doth
yet
notwithstanding
flatter
him selfe
,
deeming
his
condition
to
be
as
good
as
the
best
,
and
so
either
thinketh
that
hee
is
so
religious
as
hee
needeth
to
bee
,
or
else
,
that
it
is
a
thing
easly
attained
vnto
,
wherevppon
it
commeth
to
passe
that
he
saith
[
a

21.14
.
vnto
knowledge
,
depart
from
me
,
and
vnto
reformation
,
I
will
not
be
acquainted
with
thee
.
But
if
his
eies
were
opened
by
the
spirite
of
God
,
that
hee
might
see
what
a
straight
gate
hee
must
enter
in
at
,
before
he
can
come
to
the
treasure
of
an
vpright
conscience
,
and
how
many
lets
and
hinderances
rest
in
himselfe
to
keepe
him
from
it
,
how
many
colourable
deceits
his
own
heart
hatcheth
to
keepe
him
in
sinne
,
then
shoulde
hee
bee
brought
willingly
to
confesse
howe
deepely
hee
had
drunke
before
,
of
the
cup
of
corrupt
iudgement
,
and
how
farre
hee
was
from
anie
goodnesse
,
when
hee
thought
him selfe
to
bee
in
excellent
estate
.
Diuers
obiections
of
of
the
Israelites
answered
.
The
prophet
describing
the
qualitie
of
their
enimies
,
dooth
speake
in
such
manner
,
as
euerye
worde
that
he
vttereth
doth
preuent
an
obiection
that
they
might
alleadge
,
and
for
their
safetie
and
securitie
in
that
land
against
all
aduersaries
.
The
first
obiection
.
God
placed
vs
heere
.
For
first
,
whereas
they
might
saye
for
themselues
,
we
are
such
a
people
as
there
is
not
the
like
,
being
al
of
the
stocke
of
one
man
,
and
brought
from
else-where
to
inhabite
this
land
,
in
spite
of
all
that
coulde
bee
against
it
,
and
therefore
being
placed
heere
by
the
hand
of
god
,
what
people
is
there
in
the
world
that
can
annoy
vs
,
to
which
the
prophet
answereth
,
by
saying
:
a
nation
commeth
,
as
if
he
should
say
you
can
alleage
no
thing
for
your selues
in
regarde
of
any
priuileges
or
immunities
that
you
inioy
,
but
God
is
able
to
intitle
an
other
people
into
the
like
:
yea
,
and
wil
now
do
it
,
for
the
sins
of
the
Cananites
hauing
driuen
them
out
before
your
face
,
what
cause
can
there
bee
why
your
sins
also
should
not
expel
you
before
your
enimies
,
vnlesse
you
thinke
that
God
is
not
as
much
displeased
with
sin
in
one
people
,
as
he
is
in
another
.
Nowe
this
being
diligently
marked
,
is
very
profitable
for
our
present
instruction
:
for
when
wee
heare
of
inuasions
to
come
vpon
this
land
,
and
of
forren
foes
to
bend
their
power
against
vs
,
we
do
by
&
by
flee
vnto
that
broken
reed
of
our
own
setled
estate
,
&
allege
carnall
reasons
for
our selues
whereby
we
persuade
our
own
harts
of
continuance
in
the
same
condition
,
as
before
,
and
so
make
no
reckoning
(
at
least
to
work
any
amendment
in
vs
before
god
)
but
say
peace
,
peace
,
and
promise
to
our selues
inuincible
securitie
:
but
let
it
be
said
vnto
vs
,
as
it
might
iustly
be
said
to
the
Israelites
.
Was
not
the
people
that
inhabited
this
land
,
of
as
great
valor
as
we
are
?
Nay
,
were
they
not
Anachims
,
that
is
,
great
&
mighty
giants
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth
?
what
was
it
then
that
ouerthrew
them
,
&
placed
vs
in
their
roomes
,
our
owne
strength
or
multitude
?
Alas
,
no
,
for
they
were
mo
in
number
,
and
stronger
in
strength
than
they
that
ouercame
them
,
but
it
was
their
exceeding
sin
,
the
measure
whereof
was
come
to
the
ful
,
and
the
hainousnesse
whereof
ascended
into
the
eares
of
the
Lorde
of
Hostes
,
and
cried
for
vengeaunce
:
but
this
(
you
maye
saye
)
was
long
ago
,
and
it
may
be
it
was
not
true
.
Admit
it
were
so
,
let
mee
then
propound
it
in
an
example
,
so
late
&
newe
as
many
of
vs
are
eie
and
eare-witnesses
of
:
the
kingdome
of
the
Pope
,
that
euen
(
as
it
were
)
yesterday
,
was
so
seated
and
setled
in
this
land
,
that
it
helde
all
men
willingly
captiue
therevnto
.
What
ouerthrewe
that
?
Wee
cannot
say
,
that
it
was
our
number
,
for
the
most
of
vs
were
then
in
the
loines
of
them
that
mourned
for
the
ouerthrow
of
their
honor
,
neither
can
we
say
,
that
it
was
our
strength
,
wisedome
,
or
policie
,
for
in
all
these
they
didde
farre
exceede
vs
:
but
it
was
euen
the
hainous
and
horrible
synnes
that
were
commytted
(
without
controllment
)
amongst
them
,
euen
in
the
sight
of
the
Sunne
:
if
then
it
bee
founde
(
which
a
blinde
man
maye
easilye
finde
out
)
that
sinne
is
growne
vnto
as
greate
a
head
amongest
vs
as
it
was
amongest
them
,
and
as
little
punished
as
then
it
was
:
what
can
wee
looke
for
,
but
euen
the
iudgement
that
fell
vpon
them
,
vnlesse
wee
thinke
the
Lorde
to
bee
partiall
on
our
sides
more
than
on
theirs
.
But
you
will
say
,
the
case
is
not
alike
,
for
they
were
idolaters
,
&
throwne
out
for
their
idolatrie
,
that
wee
might
bee
planted
that
professe
and
maintaine
true
religion
:
it
is
true
,
but
might
not
the
Israelites
alleadge
this
much
rather
for
themselues
?
and
yet
when
they
sinned
,
it
profited
them
nothing
:
let
vs
not
therefore
couer
our
shame
with
any
of
these
fig
leaues
,
but
rather
say
with
the
apostle
[
a
](A14191-e3240-b)
a
Rom.
11.21
The
second
obiection
.
We
are
the
Lords
inheritance
.
if
God
spared
not
the
natural
branches
,
take
heed
least
hee
also
spare
not
thee
.
They
might
further
say
for
themselues
,
the
Lords
inheritance
is
heere
,
and
though
hee
shoulde
be
willing
to
let
vs
be
ouer-runne
,
yet
hee
will
respect
vs
,
forsomuch
as
wee
are
the
people
with
whom
he
hath
chosen
to
dwell
for
euer
.
That
this
pretence
might
also
be
remooued
,
the
Lorde
saith
by
his
Prophet
,
A
nation
commeth
vppon
my
land
,
as
if
he
shoulde
say
,
albeit
I
haue
separated
it
vnto
my selfe
,
and
chosen
my selfe
a
seate
to
dwell
there
,
yet
shall
not
that
priuilege
be
any
let
:
but
I
will
neuerthelesse
send
vpon
them
the

this
being
then
the
meaning
of
the
holie-ghost
in
this
point
,
it
remaineth
that
we
obserue
out
of
the
same
,
these
two
profitable
doctrines
for
our
instruction
:
the
first
is
this
,
in
that
the
Lorde
calleth
it
his
land
,
we
do
learne
,
that
whatsoeuer
preeminences
they
had
,
wherewith
they
coulde
preferre
themselues
vnto
other
people
,
it
came
from
the
Lordes
blessing
alone
,
for
they
themselues
were
as
miserable
when
God
tooke
them
to
himselfe
as
any
people
coulde
be
(
which
if
it
be
well
weyed
)
will
teache
vs
when
wee
thinke
of
our
prerogatiues
that
wee
excell
others
in

If
we
excell
others
,
it
commeth
from
the
Lord
alone
.
not
to
insulte
presumptuously
ouer
them
,
and
to
waxe
insolent
,
forgetting
who
separated
vs
,
but
to
giue
all
glorie
vnto
God
alone
,
from
whome
(
indeede
)
euery
good
thing
that
wee
haue
did
come
,
&
not
from
any
thing
in
our selues
:
secondly
,
in
that
he
sendeth
this
nation
to
the
ouerthrowe
of
his
owne
people
,
wee
learne
,
that
the
priuiledge
of
grace
and
mercie
,
in
the
fauour
of
GOD
,
or
anye
prerogatiue
of
this
life
dooth
not
giue
vs
licence
to
sinne
,
The
priuiledges
of
grace
giue
vs
not
leaue
to
sin
,
then
much
lesse
any
other
.
or
be
more
carelesse
of
the
true
worship
and
seruice
of
God
,
but
(
notwithstanding
all
that
wee
can
saye
for
our selues
)
when
we
transgresse
the
commandements
of
God
,
we
shall
receiue
the
punishment
due
vnto
the
same
,
which
thing
is
worthie
to
be
noted
,
for
we
see
that
very
many
take
occasion
to
liue
looselie
in
the
course
of
their
life
,
vnder
pretence
of
this
,
that
they
are
receiued
vnto
grace
,
Christ
died
for
sinners
:
and
many
will
doe
that
which
is
vnlawfull
,
because
they
be
wealthy
,
and
can
buy
it
out
,
or
great
in
calling
,
and
can
bolster
it
,
or
haue
manie
freendes
,
and
who
dare
meddle
with
them
.
If
any
of
these
woulde
reason
thus
wyth
themselues
,
the
Israelites
had
as
manie
things
to
alleage
for
themselues
as
they
,
and
yet
when
they
sinned
,
they
escaped
not
vnpunished
,
it
woulde
make
them
more
carefull
that
they
offende
not
the
Lord
,
whose
punishing
hand
is
not
turned
away
,

rather
made
more
heauie

,

shoulde

though

they
can
doo

harme
,
for
wee
are
strong
,
and

of

and

,
the
Prophet
wipeth
awaye
that
obiection
also
,
when
hee
saieth
,
that
the
nation
that
commeth
is
mightie
,
as
if
hee
shoulde
haue
saide
,
neuer
stand
vpon
such
termes
,
as
that
you
bee
valiaunt
,
and
therefore
they
can
not
hurt
you
,
for
they
are
a
mightie
people
strengthened
wyth
the
power
of
that
God
,
who
hitherto
hath
enabled
you
against
all
those
enimies
that
set
themselues
against
you
,
but
now
he
hath
turned
his
face
,
not
against
them
that
come
against
you
,
but
euen
against
your selues
:
wherby
the
Prophet
teacheth
vnto
vs
this
lesson
,
that
it
is
a
vaine
thing
for
anye
man
(
when
hee
heareth
of
the
commyng
of
enimies
)
to
stand
vppon
hys
reputation
,
and
perswade
hymselfe
,
that
he
and
his
countri-men
be
of
such
courage
,
that
none
shall
doe
them
anye
hurte
,
and
it
is
(
indeede
)
the
common
speache
of
vs
Englishemen
,
for
wee
are
so
proude
in
our
power
,
and
so
warlike
(
as
wee
take
our selues
,
especiallye
when
wee
sitte
on
our
ale-bench
)
that
wee
thinke
euery
stranger
doth
quake
at
the
name
of
an
Englishman
,
and
we
haue
to
alleage
for
our selues
the
Histories
of
former
times
,
in
which
it
appeareth
that
our
auncestours
haue
doone
great
matters
that
way
:
which
I
doe
confesse
to
be
true
,
and
if
wee
were
as
well
acquainted
wyth
the
Chronicles
of
other
nations
,
it
maye
bee
wee
shoulde
finde
as
great
matters
(
if
not
greater
)
brought
to
passe
by
manye
of
them
,
for
GOD
hath
euer
giuen
vnto
seuerall
nations
their
glorie
one
aboue
an
other
,
to
one
in
this
age
,
to
an
other
in
the
nexte
,
as
the
course
of
the
foure
Monarchs
dooth
euidentlye
declare
.
But
can
wee
saye
anye
more
for
our selues
in
thys
poynt
,
than
the
Babylonians
might
haue
sayde
for
themselues
,
the
Medes
&
Persians
for
themselues
,
the
Assyrians
for
themselues
,
the
Grecians
for
themselues
,
and
the
Romanes
for
themselues
?
and
yet
their
glorie
is
decayed
,
and
euery
one
of
them
hath
sustayned
a
shamefull
foile
by
their
aduersaries
,
yea
,
of
obscure
name
in
the
world
.
Nay
,
can
wee
builde
our selues
in
more
saftie
than
the
Israelites
might
?
who
had
all
the
priuiledges
that
God
euer
bestowed
vpon
any
,
and
so
many
triumphant
victories
ouer
their
seueral
aduersaries
,
that
their
very
name
made
the
heartes
of
the
kings
on
the
earth
to
quake
:
and
yet
for
all
this
,
where
are
they
nowe
?
what
is
become
of
their
glorious
estate
that
was
so
famous
throughout
the
world
?
Surely
,
it
is
defaced
and
brought
to
vtter
ruine
,
so
that
they
are
become
a
by-word
,
and
speech
of
reproch
vnto
all
nations
vnder
the
sun
,
a
most
vaine
thing
it
is
therefore
,
to
stand
vpon
our
owne
strength
,
seeing
,
that
they
onely
shall
preuaile
in
battell
,
whome
the
Lord
will
make
mightie
,
yea
though
they
be
as
weake
as
Dauid
,
and
their
aduersaries
so
strong
(
in
the
iugement
of
men
)
as
Goliah
the
Philistin
.
The
fourth
obiection
.
We
are
manie
.
Now
if
they
should
yet
except
against
the
Prophet
,
that
they
are
a
people
of
infinite
number
,
insomuch
,
that
to
go
about
to
ouerthrow
them
,
were
to
dry
vp
the
sea
,
and
measure
the
sand
vppon
the
shore
.
He
preuenteth
that
when
he
saith
,
that
this
mightie
people
that
commeth
,
is
without
number
,
that
is
,
as
many
as
no
man
is
able
to
reckon
:
and
this
is
also
a
common
allegation
,
that
we
bring
to
perswade
our selues
that
no
forreine
foes
can
ouerrunne
vs
,
seing
that
our
land
is
so
peopled
,
that
wee
seeme
to
bee
as
the
stars
in
the
skie
,
that
cannot
be
numbered
:
but
it
is
as
vaine
,
as
anie
of
the
former
.
For
may
not
one
nation
bee
as
populous
as
an
other
?
can
there
be
so
manie
fighting
men
in
one
kingdome
,
as
cannot
bee
found
elsewhere
,
and
though
it
were
so
,
that
our
aduersaries
were
not
able
to
match
vs
this
way
,
hath
the
victorie
alwais
fallen
on
the
side
of
the
greatest

no

for

They

In
the
words
following
doth
the
prophet
also
preuent
that
which
might
bee
alleaged
against
the
enemies
,
that
if
they
come
,
being
in
a
strange
land
,
they
could
not
tell
in
how
many
daungers
they
should
bee
,
they
should
not
be
able
to
haue
any
stomach
to
proceed
or
if
they
did
,
they
would
quickly
bee
quailed
,
because
they
should
neuer
see
an
end
of
encounters
,
and
so
forth
:
all
which
is
meet
with
al
,
when
he
sayth
,
that
they
shal
haue
teeth
as
a
lyon
,
that
is
,
be
sharpe
and
fierce
,
and
besides
that
,
haue
the
iawes
of
a
great
lyon
,
that
is
,
not
runne
them selues
out
of
breath
,
wyth
theyr
fiercenes
,
but
preuaile
and
become
inuincible
:
In
which
words
,
are
the
enemies
of
the
Church
of
GOD
verie
notably
described
,
whether
they
bee
suche
as
haue
a
will
and
cannot
,
or
haue
not
onelie
a
will
,
but
also
power
to
make
hauocke
,
and
doe
hurt
vnto
Gods
people
.
The
first
sort
of
enemies
bee
described
in
the
former
Metaphor
,
wherein
they
are
sayd
,
to
haue
the
teeth
of
a
lyon
,
that
is
,
to
be
sharpe
,
and
bitter
,
verie
willing
and
desirous
to
rauine
and
deuour
,
and
prepared
for
the
purpose
against
the
daye
that
they
desire
.
And
of
this
minde
are
(
no
doubt
)
all
the
Papists
,
that
are
in
England
,
whether
they
be
recusants
or
church-papistes
,
notwithstanding
that
they
pretend
a
loue
vnto
the
state
,
The
affection
of
an
English
papist
.
and
a
contentednesse
to
liue
quietlie
in
it
,
so
that
they
may
be
let
alone
to
vse
their
conscience
(
as
they
falselye
do
terme
their
hereticall
opinions
)
yet
indeede
,
because
they
beare
a
deadly
hatred
vnto
the
religion
of
Iesus
Christ
(
which
is
the
onelie
piller
whereon
the
safetie
of
her
Maiestie
,
and
the
common-wealth
standeth
,
and
shall
stand
so
safelye
as
they
leane
vnto
it
,
&
no
more
nor
longer
)
if
they
do
not
vnto
vs
all
the
mischiefe
that
can
be
deuised
,
it
is
for
no
other
cause
but
onelye
this
,
that
God
taketh
awaie
from
them
oportunitie
to
bring
it
to
passe
:
and
to
the
end
that
this
may
appeare
to
bee
true
,
(
for
they
haue
plaide
the
part
of
Ismael
so
long
,
that
too
manie
of
vs
bee
brought
to
bee
as
credulous
as
Gedoliah
)
looke
into
the
perticulars
of
their
behauiour
,
Let
them
obserue
this
that
thinke
papists
may
be
good
subiects
.
(
which
is
the
staffe
of
our
state
)
and
the
countenauncing
of
treacherous
papists
,
who
be
the
sworne
vnderminers
of
our
welfare
,
either
in
soule
or
bodie
:
and
therefore
I
maruell
,
that
anie
wise
men
can
be
drawn
to
thinke
,
that
euer
a
papist
can
perfourme
anie
loyall
seruice
to
hir
Maiestie
,
or
good
to
his
countrey
,
vnlesse
it
bee
to
winde
him selfe
in
,
that
he
may
after
do
the
greater
hurt
,
as
the
experience
of
many
of
them
hath
shewed
in
the
sight
of
all
men
.
And
this
is
not
onelie
true
in
those
rich
enemies
to
religion
the
papists
,
but
euen
in
all
other
that
be
wicked
men
,
whether
they
bee
Atheists
,
or
men
giuen
vnto
wickednes
of
life
:
wee
see
how
(
oftentimes
)
manie
of
them
doe
currie
with
Gods
Children
,
but
yet
let
vs
neuer
trust
them
the
more
,
albeit
,
it
bee
better
that
a
dogge
fawne
vppon
vs
,
then
barke
and
bite
vs
,
yet
it
is
most
sure
that
they
neuer
fawne
,
but
to
the
end
that
they
maye
come
neare
vnto
vs
,
and
bite
more
earnestlie
.
The
seconde
sort
of
enemies
,
is
described
in
both
these
termes
set
together
:
for
the
one
importing
sharpnes
,
and
the
other
strength
or
might
,
his
meaning
is
,
that
they
shall
haue
an
earnest
desire
to
deuour
,
and
an
inuincible
might
to
execute
the
same
:
which
when
they
meet
togither
,
what
spoil
they
make
of
all
good
things
,
the
dailie
experience
of
them
where
they
are
lysted
to
do
what
they
wil
,
As
appeareth
by
the
Guise
and
his
complices
of
Fraunce
.
doth
euidentlie
shew
vnto
vs
,
and
the
effect
that
this
of
theirs
in
this
place
bringeth
to
passe
,
will
declare
vnto
vs
in
the
next
sermon
:
onelie
let
this
bee
the
summe
for
this
time
,
that
all
men
who
are
not
trulie
religious
,
doe
beare
a
bitter
emnitie
vnto
the
same
,
and
the
professours
thereof
,
which
if
it
appeare
not
by
their
works
,
it
is
either
because
,
they
want
power
to
their
will
,
or
because
God
brideleth
them
by
one
meanes
or
other
,
to
the
end
that
we
may
learne
to
take
heed
,
how
we
bee
familiar
with
any
of
them
,
or
trust
them
further
than
wee
see
them
,
for
if
wee
doe
,
wee
shall
see
at
one
time
or
other
,
that
they
neuer
did
beare
anye
faithfull
friendship
vnto
vs
.

hee
now
proceedeth
to
declare

what

shal

comparing

,
and
not
onelie
that
,
but
least
it
should
flourish
,
and
bring
foorth
in
such
aboundaunce
,
as
heeretofore
,
he
pilleth
the
barke
from
it
,
to
the
ende
that
the
sappe
which
it
should
be
nourished
withall
,
maie
neither
ascend
,
nor
descend
,
yea
hee
maketh
it
bare
round
about
,
that
no
hope
of
iuyce
maie
bee
left
in
it
,
hee
throweth
it
downe
,
least
the
rootes
should
send
vp
some
newe
braunches
,
insomuch
that
it
is
cleane
wythered
awaye
:
the
meaning
(
in
one
woorde
)
is
,
hee
bringeth
it
to
vtter
ruine
and
finall
destruction
,
that
it
shall
bee
past
hope
,
euer
to
recouer
againe
.
The
ende
of
all
these
so
manie
woordes
to
expresse
the
thing
,
is
,
that
the
people
might
be
brought
vnto
a
deep
consideration
therof
,
not
onelie
in
the
trueth
,
but
also
the
measure
of
it
:
For
such
is
our
nature
,
that
when
anie
daunger
is
fore-tolde
,
to
fall
vppon
vs
,
eyther
wee
doe
not
beleeue
it
,
perswading
our selues
that
no
suche
matter
shall
come
to
passe
,
or
if
wee
thinke
it
will
so
fall
out
indeed
,
wee
doe
in
our
own
opinions
so
extenuate
and
lessen
it
,
that
it
maketh
(
in
a
manner
)
no
impression
in
our
hearts
,
neuer
moouing
vs
to
take
it
to
heart
vnfeygnedlie
:
and
therefore
doth
the
Prophet
lay
open
this
iudgement
of
theirs
so
perticularly
:
so
that
the
prophets
meaning
being
this
,
we
learn
from
the
same
,
first
this
lesson
,
It
is
the
property
of
the
godly
to
do
good
,
and
of
the
wicked
to
make
hauocke
of
euerye
good
thing
.
to
wit
,
by
what
note
,
and
mark
wee
may
discerne
the
godlie
from
the
wicked
,
which
is
by
their
fruites
,
for
as
it
is
the
propertie
of
gods
children
(
considering
)
that
they
are
placed
in
this
life
to
aduance
Gods
glorie
,
and
benefite
his
Church
)
to
labour
by
al
lawful
meanes
how
they
may
do
good
,
and
better
thinges
that
anie
waie
are
amisse
,
and
may
bee
amended
by
them
:
so
on
the
other
side
the
wicked
,
because
they
are
the
children
of
confusion
,
and
disorder
,
doe
(
if
it
lie
in
their
hands
)
make
hauocke
of
euerie
good
thing
,
quicklie
ouerturning
that
,
which
hath
beene
long
in
framing
by
the
carefull
diligence
of
others
.
Now
in
that
the
Lord
by
the
mouth
of
hys
prophet
sayeth
that
they
bring
destruction
vpon
his
vine
,
he
meaneth
thereby
(
as
Dauid
[
a
](A14191-e3820-b)
a
Psal.
80.8
.
dooth
in
the
like
case
)
the
people
of
Israell
his
Church
,
which
hee
had
there
planted
with
his
owne
right
hand
,
whereby
he
doth
first
of
all
giue
them
to
vnderstande
,
that
what
soeuer
priuileges
they
coulde
any
waie
chalenge
vnto
themselues
aboue
all
other
nations
,
the
same
proceeded
not
from
anie
good
thing
,
that
came
of
themselues
,
but
onely
from
this
,
that
the
Lord
had
beautified
them
with
some
excellencie
beyond
others
,
to
the
ende
that
they
might
know
,
that
the
Lord
in
his
promise
,
of
deliueraunce
and
protection
,
was
no
longer
tied
vnto
them
,
then
they
were
careful
to
perfourme
the
couenaunts
of
the
league
which
were
to
bee
doone
on
their
behalfe
:
which
thing
is
worthy
the
noting
,
that
wee
may
make
our
own
profite
of
it
,
for
wee
see
that
many
men
,
beeing
of
greater
gifts
in
the
outward
things
of
this
life
then
others
bee
,
do
so
insolently
demeane
them selues
,
that
they
offer
iniurie
vnto
manye
,
yea
(
by
sinning
against
the
Lord
)
vnto
their
owne
soules
,
and
perswade
them selues
,
that
for
such
and
suche
causes
no
euill
shall
happen
vnto
them
:
but
if
they
did
consider
with
themselues
,
that
if
they
enioy
any
good
thing
,
it
ariseth
from
this
,
that
the
Lord
hath
(
in
mercy
inriched
them
)
it
would
make
them
both
more
humble
in
their
own
eies
,
&
made
carefull
to
yeeld
obedience
vnto
the
Lorde
,
who
hath
so
manye
waies
beene
good
vnto
them
:
againe
,
in
that
the
Lorde
calleth
not
onely
the
land
his
(
as
in
the
former
verse
)
but
also
them
with
all
the
beautye
wherein
they
excelled
to
be
his
,
that
is
brought
to
the
passe
by
his
framing
&
furnishing
of
them
:
he
shewed
that
hee
had
so
put
his
blessings
into
their
hands
,
We
may
not
do
what
we
list
with
gods
blessings
bestowed
on
vs
.
as
yet
they
remained
still
his
own
by
which
he
did
look
to
be
honored
&
serued
:
which
techeth
vnto
vs
this
lesson
,
that
al
the
things
which
we
do
enioy
here
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
(
whether
they
be
for
the
furniture
of
the
mind
)
as
learning
,
wisedom
&
such
like
)
or
for
the
body
,
as
riches
,
honor
,
credit
,
helth
,
or
strength
,
or
whatsoeuer
els
:
are
not
so
absolutely
in
our
possession
as
we
maie
imploye
them
as
please
vs
without
controllment
,
but
onelie
as
of
trust
,
to
bee
bestowed
vnto
his
vse
that
is
the
owner
of
them
:
that
is
,
to
the
glorie
of
that
GOD
,
whose
only
they
are
:
which
thing
is
worthy
to
be
noted
,
for
albeit
it
bee
true
,
that
there
is
not
(
almost
)
any
one
that
will
not
easilie
confes
in
words
,
that
we
are
but
stewards
of
these
thinges
for
a
time
,
yet
(
indeede
)
a
verie
fewe
of
vs
doe
steadfastlie
beleeue
it
,
for
if
euerie
man
were
fullie
perswaded
,
that
he
must
giue
accompt
of
his
stewardship
vnto
the
Lord
,
who
will
be
answered
how
euerie
thing
is
bestowed
:
were
it
possible
(
thinke
you
)
that
the
blessings
of
God
that
are
giuen
vs
for
the
aduauncement
of
his
glory
&
our
own
good
,
shold
so
generaly
he
turned
to
the
defacing
of
his
honour
,
&
destruction
of
our
owne
soules
?
is
it
possible
,
for
the
idle
person
that
loytereth
out
that
good
leasure
which
hee
hath
,
doing
no
good
?
or
the
ruffin
that
lauisheth
out
all
his
patrimonie
vpon
brauerie
?
or
the
whoormonger
,
that
giueth
him selfe
ouer
to
vncleannesse
,
or
the
Atheist
that
maketh
a
iest
of
Gods
woord
,
to
make
anie
man
of
reason
beleeue
,
that
hee
thinkes
that
euer
hee
shall
come
to
a
reckoning
for
these
thinges
?
no
,
no
:
if
hee
did
thinke
it
(
indeed
)
it
would
make
his
heart
quake
within
him
to
thinke
of
the
rearedges
that
he
is
alreadie
runne
into
,
and
the
straightnes
of
the
iudge
,
when
he
taketh
the
account
,
and
in
consideration
therof
,
it
would
make
him
haue
such
a
watchful
eie
ouer
himselfe
,
that
he
would
neuer
cease
to
vse
al
good
meanes
that
might
draw
his
affections
inwardly
,
&
his
temporal
blessings
outwardly
,
to
be
holy
bent
to
honor
him
▪
whose
heauenly
disposition
hath
cast
them
vpon
him
to
the
end
,
besides
this
:
he
calleth
it
his
vine
,
to
this
end
,
that
he
might
bring
them
to
a
due
consideration
of
his
continuall
care
ouer
them
,
that
so
their
own
consciences
might
conuict
them
of
the
greater
ingratitude
against
his
maiesty
,
and
declare
them
to
be
worthy
of
the
more
heauy
iudgements
which
also
serueth
for
our
instruction
,
for
if
this
be
a
true
saiing
of
Christ
our
Sauiour
,
that
hee
that
hath

debt
forgiuen
him
,
ought
(
in
reason
)
to
acknowledge
himselfe
best
beholden
vnto
the
forgiuer
,
and
so
loue
him
more
entirelie
:
then
surelie
that
standeth
as
an
infallible
truth
,
in
the
eies
of
the
maiestie
of
God
,
that
the
more
blessinges
wee
receiue
from
his
hand
,
the
greater
must
our
obedience
bee
vnto
him
,
or
els
the
more
intollerable
shall
our
damnation
be
.
Which
if
it
were
learned
,
then
should
this
bee
a
generall
rule
in
the
worlde
,
the
greater
that
a
man
is
in
riches
,
wisedome
credite
,
or
anie
other
preferment
,
the
holier
,
the
zealouser
,
and
more
obedient
vnto
God
he
should
be
,
but
while
it
is
not
regarded
,
the
clean
contrarie
is
practised
,
that
so
many
thinges
as
we
excell
others
in
,
or
abound
in
,
so
manie
occasions
do
we
take
to
draw
vs
into
sinne
,
&
wickednes
,
but
let
such
persons
(
if
they
will
learne
anie
thing
)
knowe
,
that
as
they
haue
beene
aduaunced
higher
,
in
the
things
of
this
life
then
others
haue
,
so
shall
they
(
for
abusing
the
good
blessings
of
God
be
throwne
downe
lower
into
hell
,
and
receiue
the
greater
condemnation
.
Moreouer
in
that
,
this
vine
of
the
lords
own
planting
and
dressing
,
is
saide
to
come
to
such
a
miserable
confusion
and
ruine
,
we
may
first
beholde
the
vnspeake-able
hatred
that
the
Lord
beareth
vnto
sinne
,
who
cannot
abide
it
,
nor
let
it
goe
vnpunished
,
God
cannot
abide
sinne
,
no
not
in
his
dearest
children
.
no
not
in
hys
peculier
people
whome
he
made
more
reckoning
off
,
then
of
all
the
worlde
besides
,
which
if
we
could
see
and
perceiue
,
&
make
profit
of
it
for
our selues
,
we
should
finde
it
an
exceeding
help
vnto
godlines
,
&
a
break-necke
,
of
all
impietie
and
wickednes
:
for
we
see
that
the
most
men
now-adaies
(
yea
manie
of
them
,
that
take
them selues
to
bee
great
gospellers
)
do
but
make
a
very
mock
of
sin
,
not
esteeming
it
of
anie
importance
,
either
to
do
good
or
harme
,
but
if
they
haue
committed
it
,
laugh
it
out
,
or
if
they
cannot
shift
it
off
,
an
other
helpe
shall
come
,
God
is
mercifull
:
they
them selues
in
the
mean
while
conceiuing
no
grief
at
it
at
al
,
but
if
they
had
learned
on
the
one
side
,
that
God
doth
most
infinitlye
detest
sinne
in
all
men
,
whose
fierce
wrath
(
without
repentance
)
they
can
neuer
hide
themselues
from
:
and
on
the
other
side
,
that
if
they
bee
the
children
of
GOD
,
there
must
be
a
likenes
betweene
him
and
them
,
that
those
thinges
which
he
loueth
without
measure
,
they
ought
to
loue
vnfeignedlie
,
and
those
thinges
that
hee
hateth
with
a
perfect
hatred
,
they
must
hate
from
the
bottome
of
their
hearts
,
or
els
they
canne
haue
no
assurance
,
that
they
be
any
better
than
bastards
,
it
would
(
doubtles
)
make
them
to
look
better
about
them
,
and
haue
in
more
detestation
,
all
sin
and
iniquity
both
in
themselues
and
others
.
The
malice
of
the
wicked
against
the
church
is
vnappeasable
.
Secondly
we
do
learne
the
vnappeasable
malice
,
that
the
wicked
do
bear
to
the
church
of
God
,
for
albeit
this
punishment
was
a
iust
iudgement
of
God
vppon
the
Israelites
for
their
rebellion
againste
his
maiestie
,
yet
the
instruments
that
he
vsed
for
the
effecting
thereof
,
had
no
such
intent
,
but
did
run
on
head
,
beeing
set
on
fire
with
an
hatefull
spite
against
them
,
and
a
thirsting
desire
to
satisfie
their
owne
affection
:
now
in
that
it
is
said
,
that
they
not
onely
lay
it
wast
,
but
pill
it
,
make
it
bare
,
&
cast
it
down
:
it
appeareth
manifestly
,
that
their
malice
was
not
satisfied
in
hurting
them
,
nor
spoiling
them
,
nor
yet
in
killing
and
destroying
many
of
them
:
but
stil
they
proceeded
to
the
vtter
racing
out
of
their
memory
(
as
much
as
in
them
was
)
from
vnder
the
sunne
:
and
if
we
looke
into
the
examples
of
the
word
of
God
,
we
shall
see
the
same
verified
in
practise
from
time
to
time
.
Pharaoh
the
king
of
Egypt
,
did
not
onelie
impose
vpon
the
Israelites
such
[

burdens
as
they
were
not
able
to
bear
,
but
also
gaue
commandement
,
that
all
the
male
children
should
be
killed
,
to
the
end
,
that
within
one
generation
,
they
might
bee
rooted
out
:
the
malice
of
the
Iewes
against
Christ
,
&
hys
church
,
appeareth
in
the
historie
of
the
Euangelists
&
Acts
,
to
be
so
great
,
that
they
not
onelie
pursued
him
to
death
,
but
also
other
,
that
would
any
way
take
his
part
,
the
dailie
experience
of
the
bloud-sucking
papists
doth
verifie
the
same
:
&
if
any
man
doe
seeme
to
meruaile
whye
it
shoulde
bee
so
,
seeing
,
that
wee
bee
all
the
sonnes
of
Adam
,
and
therefore
shal
be
desirous
to
aske
a
reason
of
it
,
if
he
will
looke
into
the
holie
word
of
God
,
hee
shall
easilie
find
that
the
cause
therof
is
this
:
God
hath
not
ordeined
all
men
to
bee
saued
,
Why
the
wicked
doe
so
deadlie
hate
the
godlie
.
but
hath
cast
off
the
greatest
number
in
hys
eternall
displeasure
to
bee
vessels
of
his
wrath
wyth
the
Deuill
and
his
angels
,
all
which
beeing
in
this
life
the
vassals
of
sathan
,
to
put
in
execution
his
auncient
emnity
against
Gods
people
,
are
set
on
fire
by
him
,
from
time
to
time
,
to
woorke
Christ
Iesus
(
in
his
members
)
the
greatest
spite
that
they
can
,
whervpon
it
commeth
,
that
the
wicked
doe
from
time
to
time
do
so
much
hurt
,
and
beare
so
vnreconcilable
hatred
to
the
godlie
:
the
vse
of
which
doctrine
is
,
that
wee
neuer
promise
vnto
our selues
anie
security
heer
,
but
prepare
our
bodies
&
soules
vnto
the
batel
against
sinne
,
the
world
,
and
the
Deuill
,
so
long
as
wee
shal
be
in
this
vale
of
miserie
.
The
hauocke
that
the
enemies
make
in
Israell
,
dooth
clearlie
shew
vnto
vs
,
what
will
and
courage
they
came
vp
withall
,
to
wit
,
with
a
hope
and
purpose
to
ouercome
the
whole
Lande
,
and
yet
a
man
woulde
haue
thought
(
if
they
hadde
but
considered
the
vnspeake-able
victories
▪
that
the
Israelites
hadde
gotten
agaynste
all
theyr
enemies
of
all
nations
)
that
they
neuer
durst

the

cude
shoulde

them
,
that
came
vnto
the
attempters
of
the
like
,
and
so
muche
the
rather
,
for
that
it
was
obserued
by
the
wise
men
of
the
Gentiles
(
as
appeareth
by
the
woordes
of
[

a
Ester

Zeresh
,
the
wife
of
Haman
,
who
told
her
husband
,
that
if
Mordecay
were
of
the
seede
of
the
Iewes
,
before
whome
hee
had
begunne
to
fall
,
hee
shoulde
not
preuaile
,
but
fall
before
him
)
that
the
people
of
Israell
had
alwayes
the
victorie
ouer
theyr
ennimies
in
the
ende
.
But
their
example
doth
shew
vnto
vs
,
the
maruellous
blindnesse
of
the
enimies
of
the
truth
,
who
albeit
they
haue
neuer
so
often
the
repulse
,
and
receiue
neuer
so
many
shamefull
ouerthrowes
by
setting
themselues
against
the
godly
,
yet
they
will
neuer
learne
to
leaue
off
,
but
alwayes
go
on
in
the
hardnes
of
their
heart
(
as
Pharaoh
did
)
vntill
they
come
to
bee
drowned
in
the
redde
sea
of
eternal
perdition
from
the
presence
of
god
,
which
is
the
cause
that
men
go
on
euen
in
these
last
dayes
,
as
earnestly
in
the
course
of
vngodlinesse
,
as
euer
they
did
.
For
if
time
(
which
maketh
men
wise
by
experience
in
other
thinges
)
coulde
teach
the
vngodlie
any
feare
of
God
,
or
if
continual
course
of
Gods
vengeance
against
sinners
(
some
presidentes
whereof
the
eies
of
all
men
doe
nowe
and
then
beholde
)
yea
,
if
our
owne
particular
experience
could
profite
vs
any
whit
that
way
:
the
world
being
now
so
olde
,
should
haue
beene
before
this
time
maruellous
holie
:
but
the
god
of
this
world
hauing
(
aboue
all
other
)
fore-closed
the
eies
of
the
reprobate
,
that
they
shoulde
not
see
these
things
,
and
also
ruling
in
them
,
with
that
vncessant
hatred
(
which
we
heard
of
before
)
against
the
godly
,
dooth
so
cunningly
blindfold
them
,
that
the
wiser
they
shoulde
bee
(
by
reason
of
their
time
)
the
worse
they
wax
,
and
further
from
al
goodnes
.
Now
it
remaineth
that
we
make
one
entire
aplication
of
the
whole
matter
vnto
our selues
,
for
our
further
instruction
considering
that
[

whatsoeuer
was
written
before
was
written
for
our
learning
,
and
seeing
that
the
Holy-ghost
telleth
vs
,
that
[

these
things
fell
vpon
the
Israelites
for
exampls
,
and
were
written
to
admonishe
vs
vppon
whome
the
endes
of
the
worlde
are
come
,
that
the
word
of
the
Lord
being
the
vnserchable
rule
of
his
eternal
wil
,
might
tech
vnto
vs
what
we
are
to
looke
for
,
either
in
the
performance
of
his
mercies
to
them
that
feare
him
,
or
the
execution
of
his
iudgements
vpon
the
transgressors
of
his
commaundements
,
to
the
end
(
then
)
that
this
application
may
be
the
more
euident
,
Marke
this
application
,
and
note
the
conclusion
of
it
.
we
are
first
to
lay
this
foundation
,
that
God
remaineth
now
the
same
that
then
he
was
,
the
arme
of
his
power
to
execute
his
vengeance
being
no
way
shortned
,
&
the
fountain
of
his
mercie
towardes
his
elect
,
beeing
not
drawne
dry
:
secondly
,
we
are
to
be
resolued
of
this
,
that
his
word
is
therfore
left
vnto
vs
that
we
may
learne
out
of
the
same
what
is
his
wil
(
which
he
wil
in
his
appointed
time
bring
to
passe
)
among
men
.
These
two
principls
being
laide
,
wee
must
a
little
consider
the
maner
of
the
Lordes
dealing
with
the
Israelites
▪
how
it
agreeth
with
his
dealing
with
vs
,
and
so
conclude
the
application
vnto
our selues
.
The
Israelites
hauing
had
many
a
blessing
bestowed
vpon
them
(
as
namely
the
quiet
possession
of
the
lande
of
Canaan
,
with
the
plentiful
store
of
al
good
things
that
it
yeelded
vnto
them
)
were
not
only
taught
by
the
lords
messengers
(
which
hee
raised
vppe
among
them
from
time
to
time
)
the
true
feare
of
God
,
and
manner
howe
hee
will
be
worshipped
,
but
also
the
right
vse
of
those
blessings
:
and
wee
haue
receiued
from
his
handes
the
like
temporall
blessinges
(
if
not
greater
)
and
haue
been
taught
and
instructed
in
as
plentiful
a
manner
,
howe
to
feare
God
and
imploy
his
benefites
bestowed
vppon
vs
(
or
if
wee
haue
not
,
the
cause
resteth
in
our selues
,
that
haue
refused
instruction
,
and
the
means
that
might
haue
doubled
it
amongest
vs
.
)
The
Israelites
beganne
to
waxe
fat
wyth
the
good
things
of
this
life
,
and
ouer
turning
the
sincere
worshippe
of
God
,
fell
to
Idolatrie
,
and
all
other
vngodlie
behauiour
:
and
wee
did
long
ago
beginne
to
bee
at
[
a

a
Amos.
6.1
.
ease
in
Syon
,
and
rest
vppon
the
mountaines
of
Samaria
,
insomuch
that
we
are
nowe
approched
vnto
the
seate
of
all
iniquitie
,
not
onely
in
that
,
many
that
neuer
sawe
the
golden
calfe
in
the
wildernes
,
are
fallen
to
the
worshippe
of
the
whoore
of
Rome
,
but
also
in
that
all
iniquitie
doth
so
preuaile
that
a
generall
Atheisme
ouerspredeth
the
face
of
the
whole
land
.
The
Israelites
were
(
by
those
prophets
whome
God
sent
vnto
them
)
reproued
for
their
backesliding
,
threatned
to
be
plagued
by
the
hand
of
God
,
and
cryed
out
of
that
good
land
,
and
also
taught
how
to
beginne
and
proceede
in
a
reformation
acceptable
in
the
sight
of
God
:
and
we
haue
(
both
by
the
liuelie
voice
,
and
writings
of
Gods
ministers
)
bene
reproued
the
iudgements
of
God
denounced
out
of
his
worde
against
vs
,
and
plainely
taught
out
of
the
same
worde
,
what
way
to
take
,
both
for
the
appeasing
of
Gods
wrath
against
our
sinnes
alreadie
committed
,
and
also
for
taking
such
a
way
,
as
may
(
indeede
)
stop
vp
the
spring
heades
of
all
the
abhominations
in
this
land
.
The
Israelites
were
so
farre
from
hearkening
to
the
voice
of
God
by
his
Prophets
,
that
they
intreated
them
euill
,
imprisoned
,
and
shamefullie
abused
them
:
and
wee
haue
so
little
profited
by
the
voice
of
God
sounding
in
our
eares
,
by
the
mouths
of
Gods
Ministers
,
and
make
so
little
account
of
the
reformation
offered
vnto
vs
by
the
mouth
of
God
,
that
wee
conceiue
displeasure
against
the
messengers
.
The
Israelites
(
when
the
Lorde
sawe
that
the
ministerie
of
his
seruants
profited
them
not
)
were
afflicted
with
the
hand
of
God
,
and
among
other
scourges
,
wyth
a
scarcitie
of
bread
,
which
they
had
inioyed
before
in
great
abundance
:
and
wee
haue
had
the
hand
of
God
many
wayes
vppon
vs
(
howsoeuer
we
haue
felt
it
)
and
among
others
,
with
that
scarcity
of
bread
(
though
not
in
the
like
extremitie
)
that
they
felt
.
The
Israelites
not
profiting
by
this
gentle
correction
from
the
Lord
,
but
continuing
in
their
vngodly
ways
without
repentance
,
were
threatned
to
haue
their
forrein
foes
inuade
them
,
and
vtterly
to
ouerturne
both
the
state
of
religion
,
and
the
common
wealth
,
subduing
the
lande
vnto
intollerable
miserie
:
and
we
are
threatned
(
I
wil
not
say
with
whom
,
nor
when
,
no
more
than
this
Prophet
did
)
with
a
people
as
great
as
they
were
,
as
rauenous
to
deuoure
,
as
desirous
of
our
confusion
,
as
their
foes
were
of
theirs
.
If
then
we
haue
no
more
to
alleage
for
our selues
than
they
had
,
if
wee
haue
sinned
as
greeuously
as
they
had
,
if
God
haue
taken
the
same
course
with
vs
,
that
he
did
with
them
,
if
we
profite
as
litle
by
it
as
they
didde
,
and
if
hee
remaine
the
same
God
without
changing
that
then
hee
did
:
then
let
me
see
who
can
alleage
anie
reason
why
I
may
not
conclude
,
that
as
fearefull
a
destruction
approcheth
fast
vpon
England
as
fell
vppon
them
.
Mourne
like
a
virgine
)
The
Prophet
hauing
denounced
against
the
Israelites
those
iudgements
which
their
sinnes
had
procured
against
them
,
and
the
holy-ghost
had
put
in
his
mouth
to
speake
of
,
least
that
now
they
should
proceede
in
desparate
maner
in
the
committing
and
encreasing
of
their
sinnes
,
because
there
was
no
waye
with
them
but
destruction
,
he
proceedeth
now
to
shewe
vnto
them
the
only
way
that
is
to
be
found
for
them
to
take
,
that
they
may
escape
the
iudgements
which
aproched
on
them
,
&
be
freed
from
those
that
they
did
alredy
feele
.
God
threatneth
to
the
end
to
draw
vs
to
repentance
.
In
that
the
prophet
hauing
simply
denounced
gods
iudgments
without
any
clause
of
exception
(
vnles
they
repent
or
any
such
like
)
&
yet
dooth
afterward
enter
into
this
trety
of
persuading
them
to
mourne
,
we
may
plainely
see
the
end
of
the
Lordes
threatning
of
vs
by
his
word
,
through
the
ministery
of
his
seruants
,
not
to
be
our
final
desolation
(
vnles
wee
stop
our
eares
refusing
admonishment
,
&
harden
our
harts
,
not
beleeuing
his
word
)
but
to
the
end
that
we
being
brought
to
the
sight
of
our
miserable
estate
by
reason
of
sinne
,
and
of
the
punishments
that
we
deserue
for
the
same
might
be
rowzed
from
the
delighting
in
,
&
loue
of
any
transgression
,
vnto
a
true
&
vnfaigned
amendment
of
our
ways
,
&
so
into
a
better
condition
than
before
:
the
which
(
indeed
)
causeth
the
godly
not
only
to
be
contented
to
hear
their
faults
ripped
vp
,
their
sins
reproued
,
and
the
iudgements
of
God
laid
open
against
them
,
but
euen
to
desire
and
long
after
it
in
such
wise
that
they
think
themselues
best
edified
,
when
their
corruptions
be
most
ripped
vp
,
because
they
thinke
it
to
be
an
argument
of
the
Lordes
great
loue
towardes
them
,
who
will
not
onely
haue
them
to
professe
,
beleeue
,
and
take
comfort
in
his
truth
,
but
also
to
be
daily
more
and
more
conformed
vnto
the
image
of
his
son
Christ
Iesus
,
by
vnfained
obedience
vnto
his
lawes
.
But
the
vngodly
on
the
other
side
)
because
they
cannot
[
a
](A14191-e4360-b)
a
1.
Cor.
2.14
discerne
the
thinges
that
are
of
God
,
and
therefore
not
perceiue
what
good
the
Lorde
offereth
vnto
them
,
when
hee
launcheth
the
festered
wounde
of
their
sinnes
,
with
the
sharpe
knife
of
the
lawe
of
God
,
nay
because
they
cannot
bee
perswaded
,
that
the
perticular
application
of
reproofe
vnto
their
seuerall
conditions
of
men
,
is
of
God
,
but
onelye
proceeding
from
the
fantasticall
immagynation
or
chollericke
affection
of
the
speaker
,
therefore
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
they
hearing
any
thing
spoken
that
semeth
to
point
at
them
,
they
storme
like
mad
men
and
conceiue
such
a
heauie
displeasure
against
the
speaker
,
that
(
if
it
lie
in
their
power
)
hee
shall
knowe
by
their
kicking
,
that
they
felt
themselues
pitifully
galled
:
but
if
they
do
knowe
,
or
could
bee
brought
to
beleeue
,
that
such
reproouers
bee
the
instruments
of
GOD
for
their
good
,
it
woulde
make
them
to
be
so
farre
from
being
offended
with
them
,
that
it
would
make
them
esteem
of
them
with
such
reuerence
,
as
the
messengers
of
so
good
thinges
are
woorthie
of
,
but
because
it
worketh
these
contrarie
effectes
in
men
of
contrarie
dispositions
,
the
one
beeing
a
note
of
a
godlie
heart
▪
and
the
other
bewraying
a
wicked
minde
;
it
resteth
,
that
euery
one
of
vs
,
enter
into
consideration
of
our
owne
estates
,
tying
our
seuerall
hearts
by
this
touch-stone
,
whereby
wee
shall
knowe
whether
wee
be
of
that
number
which
are
godlie
,
or
of
the
sort
of
them
which
abhorre
the
waies
of
the
Lord
.
When
the
Holy-ghost
dooth
in
this
place
by
the
mouth
of
the
Prophet
exhorts
the
Israelites
to
mourne
,
he
meaneth
not
onely
the
outward
lamentation
which
is
apparant
in
the
eyes
of
men
,
but
rather
that
,
whereby
this
mourning
is
effected
,
to
wit
,
the
sorrow
and
inward
griefe
of
hart
,
which
they
were
to
conceiue
in
regarde
of
the
anger
of
God
against
them
appearing
by
so
manie
fearefull
effectes
:
So
that
the
meaning
of
the
Prophet
being
laid
down
,
it
remaineth
that
wee
obserue
the
things
that
are
to
bee
noted
for
our
instruction
:
the
first
is
,
the
ground
wherevppon
this
lamentation
must
bee
taken
vppe
,
whiche
may
seeme
to
be
onely
in
regarde
of
the
temporall
punishementes
that
so
heauily
pressed
them
,
The
difference
betweene
the
sorrow
of
the
wicked
and
the
godlie
.
which
if
it
were
true
,
then
were
there
no
more
required
at
their
handes
,
but
onely
that
which
the
wicked
may
easilie
,
and
doe
dailye
(
in
the
like
case
)
perfourme
:
for
wee
see
it
a
common
thing
,
in
dailie
proofe
,
that
the
vngodlie
(
whose
felicitie
is
in
this
life
)
being
depriued
of
any
worldlie
commoditie
,
doo
take
it
so
to
heart
,
as
it
wringeth
(
often
)
from
them
great
sorrowe
and
lamentation
,
and
yet
they
no
whit
the
nearer
to
GOD
:
so
did
[
a
](A14191-e4410-b)
a
Gen.
27.34
Esau
,
when
he
sawe
that
hee
had
lost
the
blessing
,
which
contained
in
it
many
worldlie
priuiledges
,
it
is
saide
,
that
hee
wept
for
very
sorrowe
,
and
yet
[
b
](A14191-e4440-b)
b
Heb.
12.17
founde
hee
no
place
to
repentance
.
The
Holy-ghost
(
therefore
)
laieth
the
foundation
of
this
mourning
more
deepe
,
and
fetcheth
it
from
a
further
fountaine
,
which
is
the
meditation
of
this
▪
that
they
had
so
misdemeaned
themselues
,
that
they
had
not
onely
purchased
worldlie
miserie
and
desolation
to
fal
vpon
them
,
but
(
which
was
muche
more
greeuous
to
thinke
of
)
the
anger
,
wrath
,
and
deepe
displeasure
of
that
GOD
,
of
whose
loue
,
liberalitie
,
and
protection
,
they
had
had
so
manifolde
experience
,
which
is
diligently
to
be
marked
,
and
to
be
meditated
of
by
euery
one
of
vs
in
the
like
case
.
For
albeit
it
bee
a
gre●uous
thing
to
bee
punished
wyth
anye
miserie
in
this
life
,
as
sickenesse
,
pouertie
,
disgrace
,
or
any
such
like
.
Yet
wee
remaining
in
the
fauour
of
GOD
,
these
thinges
can
not
greatly
hurt
vs
,
but
when
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
these
,
and
whatsoeuer
else
light
vppon
vs
,
proceede
from
the
Lordes
wrath
and
displeasure
.
Where
then
shall
wee
haue
anie
comfort
?
Of
whome
shall
wee
bee
releeued
?
And
what
meanes
can
wee
finde
out
whereby
we
may
be
holpen
?
Surelie
none
,
for
all
good
things
come
from
him
,
and
all
places
are
in
his
presence
,
we
can
neither
in
death
nor
in
life
hide
vs
from
the
fiercenesse
of
his
wrath
.
And
therefore
of
all
things
that
may
greeue
vs
,
this
must
sitte
nearest
vnto
vs
,
that
wee
doo
anye
way
displease
his
Maiestie
,
whose
goodnesse
wee
haue
so
much
tasted
of
,
and
whose
heauy
hand
is
euerie
waie
so
intollerable
:
and
surely
,
the
repentaunce
of
the
godlie
,
is
in
this
point
especially
discerned
from
that
of
the
wicked
,
for
whereas
they
are
drawne
to
repentaunce
by
the
losse
of
some
carnall
pleasure
and
worldly
profite
,
the
godlie
are
induced
therevnto
by
this
,
that
they
haue
wandered
from
him
,
in
whom
their
chiefe
felicitie
consisteth
,
but
because
the
heart
of
manne
is
full
of
subtiltie
,
and
(
this
beeing
a
principall
grounde
of
true
religion
)
Sathan
dooth
easily
deceiue
manne
,
perswading
him
,
that
hee
mourneth
aright
,
when
(
indeede
)
it
is
nothing
so
,
wee
are
to
knowe
that
the
true
lamentation
which
is
that
not
to
bee
lamented
for
,
approoueth
it selfe
,
both
vnto
the
Lorde
,
our
owne
hearts
,
and
vnto
others
,
by
two
such
infallible
effectes
,
as
will
be
able
to
cleare
and
iustifie
the
same
against
all
aduersaries
whatsoeuer
,
and
those
be
,
first
an
vnfained
and
heartie
loathing
of
that
former
estate
which
procured
the
anger
of
God
against
vs
,
and
a
turning
of
it
into
a
better
,
that
is
,
a
serious
and
earnest
indeuor
to
practise
those
vertues
,
which
are
most
contrary
vnto
our
former
transgressions
:
and
without
this
,
wee
plainelie
declare
our selues
either
not
to
mourne
,
or
to
doo
it
with
Esaus
affecction
,
which
shall
profite
vs
nothing
,
but
to
encrease
our
punishment
in
more
cleare
and
euident
condemnation
.
Againe
,
in
that
the
Prophet
hauing
shewed
the
miseries
of
the
land
,
and
after
going
about
to
teache
them
howe
to
redresse
them
,
perswadeth
the
people
vnto
repentaunce
,
wee
learne
:
that
whensoeuer
the
Lord
hath
conceiued
a
displeasure
against
any
nation
,
or
any
particular
congregation
,
or
person
,
the
onely
waye
to
bee
reconciled
againe
,
and
to
returne
into
his
fauour
,
The
onelie
true
way
to
be
ridde
of
any
miserie
.
is
true
and
vnfained
repentaunce
,
or
whensoeuer
any
bee
oppressed
wyth
the
burthen
of
any
affliction
,
wherewith
they
are
greeued
(
afflictions
beeing
to
vs
,
the
punishements
of
GOD
for
sin
)
the
onely
sounde
remedie
against
it
▪
and
meanes
to
turne
it
away
,
is
,
seeking
vnto
him
that
smiteth
by
humble
praier
,
in
the
anguishe
of
thy
repenting
soule
.
Which
doctrine
is
diligently
to
be
noted
:
for
as
it
is
the
nature
of
al
men
when
any
griefe
trobleth
them
,
or
any
danger
hangeth
ouer
their
heads
,
to
indeuor
many
ways
how
to
be
eased
,
&
to
vse
diuers
remedies
to
preuent
the
dangers
approching
:
so
is
it
not
in
the
nature
of
any
man
to
go
about
or
finde
out
the
right
salue
for
any
such
kind
of
sore
,
&
therefore
we
see
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
some
labour
to
putte
from
themselues
▪
the
sence
of
sorrowe
present
,
or
remembraunce
of
dangers
imminent
by
musicke
,
●●●des
,
or
s●me
other
pastime
(
as
they
terme
it
)
that
their
mindes
being
possessed
with
the
vanitie
present
,
maye
bee
emptied
of
the
griefe
,
which
else
shoulde
haue
possessed
them
▪
others
(
persuading
themselues
to
be
of
inuincible
valor
)
do
rest
vpon
their
own
wisedome
,
knowledge
,
or
strength
,
as
on
a
tower
,
not
able
to
be
ouerthrowne
▪
others
betake
themselues
vnto
the
politike
deuises
of
their
worldlie
wise
acquaintaunce
,
thinking
that
to
bee
a
meanes
that
must
needes
preuaile
:
to
conclude
,
all
(
whose
heartes
the
spirit
of
grace
hath
not
taught
to
aspire
higher
)
rest
vpon
the
second
cause
and
leane
vnto
the
worldlie
helps
that
are
to
be
had
vnder
the
sunne
.
Whereas
(
indeede
)
they
shoulde
consider
;
that
all
miseries
are
the
punishements
of
GOD
for
sinne
,
and
euerye
approching
daunger
,
a
messenger
of
the
Lords
heauy
hand
for
the
same
:
and
that
there
is
no
way
to
satisfie
Gods
anger
but
by
repentance
:
and
therefore
that
the
onely
true
refuge
in
anye
distresse
is
to
flee
vnto
him
in
the
greefe
of
our
hearts
,
crauing
pardon
for
that
which
hath
procured
his
heauie
countenaunce
against
vs
,
&
promising
(
by
the
assistance
of
his
gracious
spirit
)
the
vnfained
indeuour
of
the
amendement
of
our
wayes
.
But
while
these
things
are
not
thought
vppon
of
many
,
nor
knowne
of
moe
,
it
commeth
to
passe
▪
that
we
are
smitten
oftentimes
,
&
neuer
feele
it
,
or
if
we
do
,
yet
conceiue
we
not
whose
hand
it
is
,
what
cause
thereof
is
in
our selues
,
nor
to
what
ende
we
are
touched
,
and
so
become
so
farre
from
making
the
right
vse
of
it
,
that
it
rather
hardeneth
our
heartes
,
and
maketh
vs
more
carelesse
,
ascribing
the
same
to
Nature
or
Fortune
,
which
wee
coulde
not
wythstande
,
and
not
at
all
to
our
sinnes
,
Gods
iudgements
denounced
must
greatly
mooue
vs
to
sorrowe
.
which
we
shoulde
amende
.
Lastly
,
in
that
they
are
persuaded
by
the
Prophet
vppon
the
iudgements
laid
open
against
them
,
to
mourne
,
we
do
learne
that
the
threatning
of
Gods
iudgements
against
sinne
by
the
ministery
of
his
seruants
,
is
not
lightly
to
be
regarded
,
or
easily
to
be
passed
ouer
,
but
so
to
be
applied
vnto
our
owne
heartes
,
as
that
the
consideration
of
them
doe
effect
vs
in
such
manner
,
that
it
may
woorke
in
vs
a
sorrowing
of
heart
,
and
mourning
of
soule
,
yea
though
they
be
such
iudgements
as
wee
our selues
(
by
the
mercie
of
God
)
shall
be
sure
to
escape
,
for
if
our
hearts
be
framed
vnto
that
sympathie
and
fellowe
feeling
that
one
member
hath
of
anothers
condition
,
then
must
the
myseries
of
our
brethren
(
yea
though
they
bee
onely
brethren
according
to
the
flesh
)
so
greeue
vs
,
as
the
meditation
therof
do
leaue
that
impression
of
the
greefe
in
vs
,
which
maye
inforce
vs
in
the
feruencie
of
our
spirites
,
to
powre
out
our
praiers
vnto
the
Lord
in
their
behalfe
:
then
much
rather
must
wee
take
heede
,
that
when
those
threatnings
are
vttered
,
whereof
wee
our selues
are
guiltie
,
that
we
be
not
senselesse
,
and
(
as
the
greatest
number
doe
)
carelesly
lette
it
passe
:
for
those
men
must
needs
be
in
a
fearfull
plight
,
who
are
not
moued
with
those
things
whereat
the
very
diuelles
do
quake
and
tremble
.
Like

in

of
that
nearnes
which
it
hath
plesed
the

hir
,
as
also
in

of
the
loue
and

vnto

other
:
now
this
comparison
dooth
first
of
all
conuict
the

most
heinous
and
horrible
ingratitude

for
that

vnto
him selfe
in
righteousnes
,

in

and
in
mercie

so
when

to
iniquitie
,
and
forgetting
the
Lord
,
fall
to
do

that
it
depriueth

the

that
it

knowing
that
this
true
and

is
hardly
perswaded
vnto

because
naturallie
wee

he
proceedeth
now
to
lay
open
the
causes
,
that
were
yet
further
to
induce
them
therevnto

the
first
whereof
consisteth
in
the
consideration
of
the
miserye
that
was
vpon
them
in

of

and
the
publike
seruice

sayth
,
The
meat-offering
and

is
cutte
off
from

house
of

his
meaning
is
as
much
as
if
hee
should
say
▪
haue
you
not
great
cause
to

seeing
that
the
temple
which
is

glory
among

,
and
the
daily
sacrifices
wherewith
you
daily
serued

there
,
shall
by
reason
of
the
ruin
that
your
foes
shall
bring

bee
so
left
desolate
and
forsaken
,
that
there
shal

this
wofull

fall
vpon

vnworthy
of
eternal
life
,
which
doctrine
is
diligently
to
bee
obserued
:
for
it
is
now
euery
where
the
iust
complaint
of
al
that
haue
any
sight
into
religion
:
that
the
profession
of
thereof
dooth
decaie
,
the
lyking
thereof
is
in
so
few
mens
hearts
,
that
Atheisme
and
poperie
is
in
more
request
euery
wher
then
true
religion
,
which
is
true
:
again
it
is
the
complaint
of
many
,
that
the
word
is
not
of
that
power
in
the
mouth
of
the
ministers
thereof
▪
that
it
hath
bin
hertofore
,
which
also
is
to
true
.
But
where
is
the
fault
▪
no
doubt
,
Satan
is
not
to
bee
excused
,
that
slaundereth
the
truth
,
nor
his
instruments
to
be
accounted
giltlesse
,
that
could
stop
the
passage
of
the
same
:
but
if
we
could
learn
the
lesson
which
the
holie
ghost
teacheth
the
Israelites
in
this
place
,
we
should
say
,
let
vs
mourne
for
that
our
sinnes
haue
caused
the
meat-offeringes
and
drinke-offeringes
to
cease
from
the
house
of
our
God
,
that
is
,
the
passages
of
true
religion
to
be
stopped
,
that
it
floweeth
not
vnto
vs
in
such
streames
as
it
hath
doone
heeretofore
,
and
doth
at
this
daie
vnto
others
,
for
why
should
we
think
that
the
sinnes
of
the
reprobate
,
ordeined
to
destruction
,
Not
the
sins
of
the
reprobate
but
of
gods
people
darken
the
beautie
of
the
gospell
.
should
anye
way
hinder
or
further
the
proceedings
of
the
gospell
:
for
whether
it
bee
taught
,
or
buried
in
silence
,
whether
it
flowrish
,
or
be
extinguished
,
it
is
no
matter
to
them
:
it
is
therefore
the
sinnes
of
the
people
of
god
,
that
dammeth
vp
the
proceeding
of
the
truth
:
for
euen
as
it
was
a
matter
no
waye
appertaining
to
the
nation
which
GOD
threatneth
by
his
prophet
to
come
vpon
the
land
of
Israel
,
whether
the
lords
worship
in
the
temple
florished
or
no
:
but
was
a
thing
perticularlie
belonging
vnto
the
Iewes
,
Gods
chosen
nation
,
and
it
was
not
their
sinnes
,
but
the
sins
of
the
Israelites
,
that
procured
the
decaie
thereof
:
euen
so
it
is
in
the
Church
of
God
for
euer
,
the
sinnes
of
the
vngodlie
,
and
those
that
are
without
,
doe
neuer
cause
the
Lord
to
ouerturne
,
or
giue
smal
successe
vnto
his
owne
ordinance
,
but
the
transgressions
of
those
who
hauing
receiued
the
woord
of
life
,
doe
not
frame
their
hearts
within
,
and
conuersation
without
,
according
to
the
rule
of
the
same
,
this
made
the
prophet
[
a
](A14191-e4860-b)
a
Iere.
5.25
.
Ieremie
to
tell
them
of
Iudah
,
that
their
sins
had
turned
away
Gods
blessings
,
and
their
transgressions
turned
good
thinges
from
them
,
the
Propet
Isaiah
like-wise
telleth
them
[
b
](A14191-e4900-b)
b
Isa.
59.14
.
that
their
sinnes
were
the
cause
,
that
iudgement
was
turned
backward
,
and
iustice
stood
a
farre
off
,
that
truth
was
fallen
in
the
streets
,
and
equitie
could
not
enter
.
And
therefore
,
let
vs
neuer
poste
the
fault
ouer
to
anie
other
,
as
Adam
did
vnto
Eu●●
,
if
any
thing
bee
not
as
it
should
be
,
but
let
vs
laye
the
fault
where
it
is
,
to
wit
,
in
our
owne
sinnes
:
for
assuredlie
,
if
wee
could
in
the
vnrighteousnesse
of
our
hearts
,
consent
together
amongest
our selues
,
A
necessary
thing
to
bee
obserued
,
and
with
one
accord
seeke
the
aduauncement
of
Gods
glorie
.
First
in
our selues
,
and
then
in
others
:
What
wicked
man
?
what
Pope
?
What
Deuill
shoulde
bee
able
to
withstand
vs
?
and
therefore
haue
we
iust
cause
to
mourne
when
wee
see
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
cutte
off
from
the
people
,
and
the
power
thereof
lessened
that
it
conuerteth
not
where
it
is
preached
,
seeing
that
our
owne
sinnes
bee
the
cause
of
al
these
,
with
manie
more
abhominations
:
For
the
zeale
of
the
people
to
receiue
and
practise
the
trueth
,
dooth
open
the
mouth
,
inlarge
the
heart
,
and
furnish
the
minister
of
GOD
with
graces
in
great
aboundaunce
,
that
may
make
his
woorde
more
powerfull
vnto
them
:
whereas
on
the
other
side
,
their
sinnes
,
and
colde
attendance
therevnto
,
doe
freeze
his
affections
,
and
stoppe
his
mouth
,
that
hee
cannot
speak
vnto
them
wyth
that
maiestie
,
that
so
glorious
a
message
requireth
.
Againe
,
by
this
sequell
following
,
vpon
the
warres
in
Israell
,
that
the
dailie
offerings
should
bee
cutte
off
,
wee
learne
,
that
of
all
the
troubles
,
and
afflictions
that
befall
vnto
the
Church
of
GOD
,
warres
bee
the
greatest
enemie
vnto
the
publike
profession
of
religion
:
Why
wars
be
so
great
a
so
to
religion
.
for
though
it
be
true
,
that
as
all
other
trialls
,
so
this
maketh
the
godly
more
feruent
▪
and
stirreth
them
vppe
to
more
feeling
then
they
hadde
in
the
time
of
their
prosperitie
and
peace
,
yet
,
such
is
the
contradiction
betwixt
warres
and
the
open
profession
of
religion
,
that
they
do
hardlie
stande
together
,
but
especialie
if
the
enimies
therof
preuaile
,
then
proue
they
the
bane
of
it
,
and
though
they
do
not
,
yet
such
is
the
hurt
that
it
receiueth
thereby
,
as
it
is
longe
before
it

the
former
condition
:
For
a
good
course
beeing
once
interrupted
,
is
hardlie
renewed
:
So
many

and
so
readie
is
our
nature
to
take
vppe
euerie

grapes
,
and
such
as
causeth
the
Lord
to
threaten
the
casting
downe
of
the
hedge
,
the
ouerthrowe
of
the
wine-presse
,
and
the
vtter
ruine
of
the
whole
vineyard
:
howe
much
better
had
it
beene
for
vs
(
if
God
had
so
beene
pleased
)
if
wee
had
beene
left
with
the
rest
of
our
breathren
,
and
good
neighbours
round
about
vs
,
vnto
the
winde
and
wether
,
that
our
faith
might
the
more
haue
bene
purged
,
and
our
zeale
made
more
feruent
:
and
not
placed
in
this
settled
securitie
(
as
a
standing
people
)
which
gathereth
vnto
it
,
and
reteineth
all
kind
of
filth
and
corruption
:
let
vs
nowe
consider
(
a
little
)
the
reason
which
the
Prophet
vseth
,
to
see
whether
it
bee
of
force
sufficient
to
perswade
them
to
mourne
,
and
it
may
seem
that
it
is
not
:
for
the
meat-offeringes
and
drinke-offeringes
that
were
brought
into
the
temple
,
were
either
consecrated
vnto
the
fire
,
or
(
for
the
most
part
)
allotted
vnto
the
priestes
,
and
therefore
this
reason
seemeth
to
reach
no
further
then
onelie
vnto
them
,
that
were
to
minister
in
the
temple
,
because
their
liuings
did
decaie
:
but
wee
must
note
,
that
he
meaneth
not
onelie
that
they
should
mourne
because
their
ministers
lacked
liuing
,
(
albeit
,
euen
that
is
a
iust
cause
,
for
the
people
of
God
to
mourne
)
but
especiallie
hee
had
regard
vnto
the
exercise
of
the
ministerie
in
the
temple
,
which
concerned
both
the
glorie
of
God
,
and
the
saluation
of
their
own
soules
,
and
then
the
reson
is
in
effect
thus
muche
:
there
is
great
cause
you
should
mourne
,
seing
not
onelie
,
the
meanes
wherby
your
soules
haue
bene
fed
,
is
taken
away
,
but
also
the
maner
how
the
honor
of
God
hath
bin
made
more
glorious
among
you
then
in
any
other
nation
vnder
the
sunne
.
And
surely
the
reason
(
vnto
all
those
that
haue
anye
sparkle
of
grace
in
them
)
is
very
forcible
,
for
seing
it
is
euident
by
manie
places
of
the
scripture
,
that
the
principall
ende
of
our
creation
,
is
,
that
wee
might
with
all
possible
endeuour
,
set
forth
the
glory
of
God
,
it
must
follow
that
when
hee
is
glorified
by
vs
in
deede
,
wee
must
reioyce
aboue
all
other
things
wherof
we
may
take
pleasure
in
this
worlde
:
againe
,
the
principall
ende
of
our
creation
,
and
redemption
(
in
respect
of
our selues
)
being
the
saluation
of
our
soules
,
when
the
meanes
to
drawe
vs
therevnto
bee
(
by
the
the
mercie
of
God
)
bestowed
vppon
vs
,
it
ought
to
affect
our
hearts
with
more
gladnes
,
then
anye
other
thing
that
can
befall
vnto
vs
:
but
when
it
shall
come
to
passe
,
that
the
passage
for
both
these
shal
be
stopped
vp
,
that
is
,
that
the
greatest
helpe
for
the
aduancement
of
his
glorie
,
and
the
attaining
vnto
the
saluation
of
our
soules
,
is
taken
away
:
what
cause
haue
we
then
,
to
take
delight
in
any
thing
vnder
the
sunne
,
but
euen
to
wishe
that
our
eyes
may
bee
made
a
fountaine
of
teares
,
that
wee
may
thorowly
bewayle
our
miserable
estate
,
What
miserable
condition
bee
they
then
in
,
that
are
so
farre
from
taking
this
course
,
or
being
of
this
minde
,
that
they
bende
all
their
powers
both
of
their
mindes
and
bodies
,
to
extinguish
and
race
out
of
memorie
,
that
inestimable
treasure
of
Gods
holye
woorde
,
and
neuer
thinke
themselues
in
good
estate
,
vntill
they
haue
defaced
the
same
?
surely
if
the
aduauncemente
of
it
bee
an
argumente
of
a
care
to
honour
GOD
,
and
to
haue
thine
owne
soule
saued
,
then
the
disanullinge
,
or
desiring
the
ouerthrowe
thereof
,
is
a
fearefull
token
,
that
thou
neyther
carest
for
the
glory
of
God
,
nor
the
saluation
of
thine
owne
soule
,
but
rather
(
for
that
thou
settest
thy selfe
against
the
meanes
of
them
both
)
art
a
professed
enemie
both
to
God
&
thine
owne
saluation
.
If
those
that
are
such
enimies
vnto
the
preaching
of
the
word
,
were
perswaded
,
that
this
were
true
of
them
,
they
woulde
looke
more
carefullie
about
them
,
weying
in
what
state
they
stand
,
but
while
they
go
on
in
the
contempt
of
all
instrucion
,
and
consider
not
that
they
contemne
the
Lord
of
hostes
,
and
destroy
their
owne
soules
,
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
they
passe
on
blind-fold
vnto
their
own
destruction
.
The
Priests
the
Lords
ministers
do
mourne
)
these
words
conteine
in
them
a
second
reason
to
perswade
them
to
mourne
,
which
is
thus
:
there
is
great
cause
that
you
should
all
mourne
and
lament
,
seeing
they
whom
I
haue
made
your
guydes
,
in
the
matters
of
religion
,
who
know
more
then
you
doe
,
and
who
are
to
haue
that
estimation
among
you
,
which
becommeth
messengers
of
so
great
affayers
from
so
mightie
a
prince
,
Gods
people
must
frame
their
affections
vnto
the
good
example
of
their
ministers
.
do
go
heauily
,
&
take
vp
a
lamentation
,
out
of
which
reason
,
the
prophet
doth
teach
vnto
vs
this
lesson
,
that
the
ministers
of
the
land
,
whom
he
hath
placed
ouer
a
people
,
are
by
the
same
people
diligently
to
be
obserued
,
&
their
affections
to
bee
imitated
by
those
whom
they
are
sent
to
instruct
,
for
in
this
reson
the
Lord
saith
vnto
them
mourne
you
,
because
the
Lordes
Ministers
do
mourne
,
as
if
he
should
saye
,
marke
them
well
that
I
haue
set
ouer
you
:
and
in
all
things
that
are
not
vnlawfull
,
frame
your selues
according
vnto
them
,
the
reason
of
the
same
is
this
:
God
appointing
his
minister
to
be
his
owne
mouth
vnto
his
people
,
reuealeth
vnto
him
all
that
his
will
,
whiche
hee
would
haue
them
to
know
.
And
againe
,
he
being
a
watchman
vnto
the
people
,
standeth
aloft
in
the
tower
,
and
espieth
a
farre
off
the
enimies
that
are
a
comming
and
giuing
the
people
a
signe
therof
,
they
receiue
it
,
and
demeane
themselues
accordingly
,
or
els
are
worthily
set
vpon
by
their
enimies
of
a
sudden
,
and
ouerthrowne
:
so
that
the
minister
knowing
more
than
the
people
of
the
will
of
GOD
,
and
seeing
the
iudgements
of
GOD
approching
,
when
the
people
(
otherwise
very
godly
)
can
not
deserue
them
,
it
is
meete
that
they
so
obserue
his
course
,
as
if
he
take
vp
a
mourning
,
it
is
because
of
the
euil
that
he
seeth
approching
vpon
them
,
and
therefore
they
are
to
mourne
also
,
to
the
end
,
that
by
their
vnfained
ioyning
together
in
repentance
,
they
may
meete
the
Lorde
by
the
waye
,
and
preuent
his
iudgementes
,
that
else
shoulde
haue
light
vppon
them
.
Againe
,
in
that
he
willeth
them
to
mourne
because
the
Lordes
Ministers
do
so
:
The
people
may
feare
,
that
giue
their
Minister
cause
of
griefe
.
we
do
learne
that
that
people
among
whome
the
Minister
of
GOD
hath
cause
geuen
to
be
greeued
,
haue
iust
cause
to
bee
greeued
themselues
,
whether
it
doo
arise
from
that
badde
entertainement
that
hee
hath
among
them
,
or
from
that
carelesse
attendaunce
that
they
giue
vnto
the
doctrine
of
the
trueth
taught
them
by
him
,
in
both
which
respectes
our
Sauiour
Christe
sheweth
the
causes
:
for
in
regarde
of
the
person
hee
saith
:
Roma
.
10.15
shall
be
a
witnesse
against
them
.
And
therefore
haue
that
people
,
who
by
either
of
these
meanes
make
GODS
Minister
heauie
hearted
iust
cause
to
sorrowe
,
for
that
the
misery
which
greeueth
him
shall
one
daye
light
vppon
them
.
If
this
were
considered
,
and
the
trueth
thereof
perswaded
vnto
our
consciences
,
coulde
wee
(
thinke
you
)
offer
vnto
them
that
villanie
which
wee
doe
,
by
slaunders
,
reproches
,
disgraces
,
and
all
kinde
of
molestations
?
Coulde
wee
suffer
them
to
liue
amongest
vs
like
beggars
for
want
of
maintenance
,
while
they
[

a

Cor.
6.10
make
vs
rich
with
the
heauenlie
treasure
of
Gods
holy
worde
?
No
,
no
,
it
woulde
make
vs
so
affected
to
them
,
as
the
Galathians
were
to
saint
Paule
,
who
[

.
if
it
had
beene
possible
would
haue
plucked
out
their
owne
eies
,
to
haue
giuen
them
vnto
him
:
it
would
make
vs
learne
,
[
c
](A14191-e5290-b)

.
that
he
who
is
instructed
in
the
word
,
should
make
him
that
teacheth
him
partaker
of
all
his
goodes
:
or
coulde
wee
(
thinke
you
)
make
a
marte
of
the
doctrine
taught
by
them
,
refusing
to
giue
it
the
hearing
?
Or
if
we
do
determine
before
hand
,
not
to
beleeue
it
,
sauing
so
farre
as
it
pleaseth
our
humour
,
no
it
is
not
possible
,
but
rather
it
woulde
make
vs
,
with
all
zealous
care
attend
vnto
the
voice
of
God
speaking
to
vs
by
them
:
pray
to
God
continually
,
to
teache
vs
the
vnderstanding
of
the
same
,
and
to
indeuour
vnfainedly
to
put
in
execution
whatsoeuer
appeareth
vnto
vs
to
bee
enioyned
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lorde
.
I
am
persuaded
,
that
among
many
our
sinnes
that
crie
to
the
Lorde
for
vengeance
vppon
vs
,
this
is
not
the
least
,
that
the
true
Ministers
of
God
,
and
indeede
the
doctrine
of
the
trueth
taught
by
them
,
haue
so
manie
snubs
,
and
discouragements
:
and
on
the
other
side
,
they
that
prophecie
vnto
vs
of
wine
and
strong
drinke
,
and
speake
vnto
vs
pleasant
things
,
are
had
in
such
estimation
,
and
their
lying
vanities
so
highlie
regarded
:
wherein
is

performed

euill
that

that

excellencie
and

Well
,
the
land
hath
cause
to
mourne
that
giueth
the
Ministers
of
God
occasion
of
sadnes
.
The
field

In
these
woords
the
Prophete
sheweth
yet
an

reason
to
induce
them
vnto
mourning
,
If

wee
shoulde

The

that
so
fewe

truly
imbrace
the
word
of

that
heauenly
course
of
life
which
the
Gospell
propoundeth
vnto

onelie
this
:
that
thorowe
the
corruption
of

They

framed
vnto

to
their

some

whych

Nowe

the

of
the
Lorde
is
disobeyed

it
woulde
make
them
aboue
all

it

that
they
might

out

whilest
they
neuer

intertaine
any

rather
,
on
the
contrary
part
thinke
,
the
religion
bringeth
with
it
these
and
these
inconueniences
,
depriueth
of
such
and
such
commodities
,
and
abandoneth
manye
of
those
pleasures
that
they

it

▪
which
doctrine
is
diligently
to
bee
obserued
,
especiallie
in
these
our

blasphemous

so
reputed

that

politist

that
frameth

and
who

of

doth
he
esteeme
as
much
of

as
of
Aesopes
fables
:
wherevpon
it
commeth
that
one
chiefe
principle
wyth

Athisme

or
refusal
of

further
then
maye
serue
their

,
for

better

And
whereas
it
may
bee
sayde
,
that
manie
common-wealths
haue
flourished
,
whose
law-giuers
neuer
knew
God
,
as
the
Lacedemonian

Grecian
,

Romane

gouernements

I
answere
,
that
for
a
time
,
they
did
seeme
to
be
glorious

quicklie
vanished
away
:
but
(
indeed
)
there
was
no
such
matter
in
them

for
not
euerie
gouernment

The
right
flourishing
of
a
common-welth
.
whose
Princes
are
victorers
,
&
gretly

is
flourishing
(
for
then
should
the
popedome
,
then
which
none
was
euer
more
tyrannicall
,
be
reckoned
in
the

rank
)
but
that
is
truly
to
bee
so
esteemed
,
whos
subiects
in
general
,
&
perticular
do
enioy
the
benefit
therof
,
as

as
their
nobles

,
but
he
that
marketh
wel
,
shall
see
that
the
most
florishing
state
that
can
be
without
the
aduancement
of
true
religion
,
though
it
haue
many
outward
titles
of
glory
in
the
face
of
men
,
yet
doth
it
gall
the
hearts
,
&
grieue
the
soules
of
the
best
people
,
that
liue
vnder
the
fame
,
and
shal
in
the
end
(
albeit
God
may
suffer
it
to
grow
for
a
time
)
bring
in
vtter
hauock
and
miserable
confusion
:
the
which
wee
see
also
verified
in
perticular
men
,
for
manie
seeme
in
most
nottable
manner
,
to
growe
great
in
thys
lyfe
,
some
in
honour
,
some
in
riches
,
some
in
one
preferment
,
some
in
another
,
the
foot-steppes
of
whose
excellencie
(
if
you
looke
into
theyr
posteritie
)
are
scarse
to
bee
found
:
Nowe
from
what
ground
shall
wee
saye
that
thys
did
arise
,
but
euen
hence
,
that
the
foundation
was
not
layed
in
the
Lorde
,
the
kingdoome
of
GOD
was
not
first
sought
and
conscience
grounded
vppon
true
Religion
,
did
not
direct
them
in
the
course
which
they
tooke
,
but
they
would
seeme
to
growe
great
,
whether
the
Lorde
woulde
or
no
,
and
therefore
in
the
continuaunce
of
their
building
,
he
letteth
them
see
their
owne
follie
at
the
beginning
.
The
vse
then
of
all
this
whiche
is
saide
,
(
if
wee
haue
anie
care
to
profite
by
religion
in
deede
)
is
first
in
generall
for
whole
peoples
,
nations
,
and
kingdomes
,
that
if
euer
they
looke
to
haue
such
a
setled
estate
as
shall
be
vnmooueable
,
then
must
they
build
it
vpon
mount
Sion
,
that
is
,
they
must
lay
the
first
stone
of
the
foundation
in
true
religion
,
by
the
sincere
establishment
of
the
same
,
for
god
cannot
away
with
that
building
,
whose
arch-piller
&
corner
stone
his
son
Christ
Iesus
is
not
:
and
secondly
,
it
is
for
the
instruction
of
euery
particular
man
,
that
seeing
wee
do
all
desire
our
owne
good
,
and
the
benefite
of
our
posteritie
,
that
wee
haue
this
care
aboue
all
things
,
that
we
aduaunce
true
religion
in
our
owne
heartes
,
and
in
the
heartes
of
our
children
,
making
it
the
principall
care
that
we
haue
,
and
then
in
all
other
thinges
to
go
no
further
than
the
rules
thereof
wil
permit
vs
,
either
in
the
matter
that
wee
take
in
hande
,
or
in
the
manner
howe
wee
doe
it
,
which
is
,
the
onelie
way
that
the

The
Prophet
hauing
perswaded
them
vnto
lamentation
for
their
miseries
,
Now
in
that
the
Prophet
hauing
laid
open
their
miserie
so
plainely
,
as
none
coulde
exempt
him selfe
,
but
euerye
one
must
needes
be
touched
,
doth
yet
notwithstanding
enter
into
a
more
particular
application
.
Application
of
doctrine
is
verie
needefull
.
We
are
to
consider
what
should
be
the
cause
thereof
,
for
we
may
not
think
that
it
was
for
lacke
of
other
matter
(
as
the
wicked
thinke
of
Gods
Ministers
in
the
like
case
)
nor
,
that
the
people
were
well
enough
taught
that
point
before
,
for
then
had
hee
spoken
in
vaine
:
but
it
was
(
doubtlesse
)
to
teach
them
,
and
vs
,
and
all
the
godlie
for
euer
,
that
it
is
meete
and
conuenient
,
if
wee
looke
for
anie
profite
by
the
ministerie
of
Gods
worde
,
or
would
haue
his
Ministers
deale
substantiallye
wyth
vs
for
our
good
,
that
not
onelye
they
tell
vs
the
trueth
in
generall
,
but
also
applie
it
so
neerelie
vnto
vs
,
that
euery
one
of
vs
haue
no
way
to
shift
the
doctrine
from
being
specially
spoken
to
our selues
,
for
such
is
the
backwardnes
of
our
nature
,
and
vnwillingnes
to
make
aplication
vnto
our selues
,
that
if
we
can
finde
any
starting-holes
,
or
any
shifts
to
remoue
it
from
vs
,
it
shall
take
no
hold
on
vs
,
to
do
vs
anie
good
.
Wherevppon
it
commeth
to
passe
(
as
we
see
by
daily
experience
)
that
whensoeuer
we
heare
any
sin
reproued
in
generall
termes
,
or
the
iudgements
of
God
denounced
against
the
same
,
wee
are
very
readie
to
applie
it
vnto
others
,
and
to
saye
,
hee
meaneth
by
such
a
one
,
or
this
was
a
good
lesson
for
such
and
such
people
(
albeit
he
be
as
neerely
touching
himselfe
)
neuer
entring
into
his
owne
heart
,
to
make
vse
of
it
for
his
proper
instruction
:
the
Lord
therfore
knowing
our
wants
this
way
,
and
(
in
his
mercy
)
intending
vnfainedly
our
good
,
hath
prouided
a
remedie
against
the
same
,
in
the
ministerie
of
his
seruaunts
,
putting
not
onely
his
worde
in
their
mouths
to
deliuer
vnto
his
people
,
but
also
giuing
them
the
worde
of
wisedome
,
whereby
they
may
applie
it
according
to
the
circumstaunces
of
time
,
place
,
and
person
,
vnto
euerye
estate
and
condition
,
to
the
ende
,
that
either
they
might
be
soundly
brought
home
vnto
him
,
or
else
al
colour
of
excuse
might
be
taken
away
from
them
.
Againe
,
in
this
application
the
Prophet
nameth
one
kinde
of
people
,
and
leaueth
the
rest
,
because
it
were
very
tedious
to
write
euerye
particular
calling
:
but
the
cause
why
(
of
all
the
common-wealth
)
hee
nameth
the
husbandmen
may
seeme
to
bee
this
,
for
that
they
might
perswade
themselues
to
bee
furthest
from
that
miserye
which
he
had
spoken
of
,
because
that
(
if
anye
fruite
of
the
earth
at
all
were
to
bee
had
)
they
being
the
owners
thereof
,
would
first
serue
them-selues
,
and
therefore
might
(
as
fleshe
and
blood
would
easilye
teache
them
)
saye
,
let
them
mourne
that
want
,
for
wee
are
likest
to
shift
of
all
others
,
seeinge
they
can
haue
nothing
but
our
reuersion
and
leauinges
:
to
the
ende
that
they
might
also
put
that
in
practise
which
(
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
(
he
had
enioyned
vnto
all
,
he
speaketh
vnto
them
by
name
,
whereby
we
learne
first
this
lesson
,
that
those
,
who
hauing
greater
aboundance
then
others
in
time
of
a
common
calamitie
,
They
that
are
not
moued
with
the
miserie
of
others
,
shall
bee
brought
to
feele
it
themselues
.
doe
labour
onely
to
prouide
for
themselues
,
and
are
carelesse
and
harde
hearted
to
them
that
are
in
need
,
the
Lord
will
increase
that
punishement
vntill
it
take
holde
also
vpon
them
,
or
els
send
some
other
,
which
they
shal
be
sure
to
haue
their
part
in
with
the
depest
,
which
lesson
is
worthy
to
be
learned
,
for
it
is
to
common
a
thing
with
men
,
that
the
greatest
prouide
onely
for
them selues
,
and
euerie
man
(
as
the
saying
is
)
to
see
to
one
,
in
the
meane
while
little
care
is
had
ouer
them
that
cannot
see
to
them selues
,
yea
I
appeale
vnto
euerie
mans
conscience
,
whether
(
in
this
time
of
scarcitie
)
hee
hath
not
had
this
cogitation
often
,
in
his
head
:
I
hope
I
shall
prouide
for
my selfe
,
and
mine
owne
familie
:
I
trust
I
shall
haue
sufficient
for
mine
own
turne
,
and
then
I
care
not
:
but
if
we
would
learn
the
right
vse
of
this
doctrine
,
wee
must
say
in
such
a
case
,
GOD
hath
straightned
his
hand
among
vs
,
partly
to
see
howe
wee
of
more
wealth
will
open
ours
to
them
that
neede
,
and
partlie
to
see
how
carefull
wee
will
bee
to
make
the
best
,
for
many
,
of
that
which
is
in
the
possession
of
a
few
,
and
therfore
are
we
carefully
to
aduise
how
we
may
remedie
that
want
which
is
among
vs
,
and
not
(
as
is
the
maner
of
the
most
)
make
the
dearest
times
serue
our
turnes
beste
,
and
seeke
to
grow
rich
by
the
miseries
of
manie
,
for
if
we
do
so
,
wee
shall
heare
such
a
voice
as
GOD
vttereth
vnto
this
people
:
that
he
will
send
a
punishment
that
shal
be
sure
to
touche
vs
,
because
wee
had
no
remorse
nor
pittie
ouer
the
want
of
our
pore
brethren
:
Those
shall
soonest
bee
punished
that
least
looke
for
it
.
Secondlie
it
teacheth
vnto
vs
this
lesson
,
that
when
the
Lorde
meaneth
to
punishe
a
nation
,
hee
will
not
(
of
all
other
)
suffer
them
to
escape
,
that
pretende
moste
priuileges
to
exempte
them selues
from
the
same
,
as
for
example
,
in
this
case
of
the
Iewes
generall
hauock
is
threatned
to
all
,
but
by
name
,
vnto
the
husband-men
,
who
might
haue
manye
thinges
to
say
for
them selues
:
but
(
if
you
note
it
well
)
it
falleth
out
to
be
especialy
grieuous
vnto
such
by
the
iust
iudgement
of
God
,
for
when
the
Lord
sent
famine
vpon
the
land
,
(
no
doubt
)
there
were
many
among
them
that
beeing
of
more
wealth
then
others
,
were
hard
harted
towards
them
,
nowe
the
second
punishment
comming
to
mooue
them
,
whome
the
former
could
not
,
of
all
other
it
must
needs
lay
hold
vpon
them
,
&
surely
this
fitteth
vs
in
these
our
daies
merueilous
well
,
for
if
that
shold
ensue
,
this
want
of
bread
,
which
was
threatned
to
come
vppon
the
Israelites
,
should
the
rych
(
thinke
you
)
whose
hearts
are
pyttilesse
to
their
brethren
bee
spared
?
no
,
no
,
the
hungrie
souldiour
,
that
fighteth
for
the
spoyle
,
will
bee
sure
(
of
all
other
)
to
ransacke
hym
,
because
there
is
more
hope
of
bootie
,
then
with
the
pore
man
that
is
in
extremitie
,
and
then
maie
the
rich
man
saye
that
against
himselfe
,
whiche
hee
woulde
neuer
beleeue
before
:
this
is
gods
iust
iudgement
vpon
me
,
for
my
hard
heart
against
the
needy
,
that
because
I
hadde
no
care
to
let
hym
haue
something
of
that
which
GOD
hath
giuen
mee
in
plentifull
manner
,
when
hee
was
dryuen
into
exstremitie
:
he
hath
iustlie
sent
vppon
mee
these
spoilers
,
who
shall
haue
no
pittie
ouer
mee
,
and
therefore
let
vs
bee
carefull
to
demeane
our selues
religiouslie
in
thys
time
of
the
Lordes
gentle
warning
▪
least
wee
prouoking
hys
Maiestie
vnto
displeasure
,
purchase
vnto
our selues
,
those
iudgementes
that
shall
lie
more
heauilie
vppon
vs
.
The
thyng
that
hee
willeth
them
to
doe
,
is
,
that
they
should
bee
ashamed
,
that
is
,
by
reason
of
their
sins
&
transgressions
,
to
account
them selues
vnworthy
the
name
of
men
,
&
(
as
it
were
)
to
hide
their
faces
before
the
creatures
of
God
:
whereby
the
Prophet
teacheth
vs
,
how
greatly
we
should
bee
greeued
with
our selues
,
and
mislike
our
condition
when
we
consider
of
the
sinnes
and
rebellions
that
wee
commit
against
the
Lord
,
for
you
knowe
that
the
thing
whereof
man
is
ashamed
,
dooth
greatly
moue
him
vnto
an
inward
condemnation
of
that
which
hee
hath
done
:
but
(
alasse
)
sinfulnes
thorowe
custome
,
Mo
be
ashamed
of
godlines
then
of
sinne
.
hath
put
on
suche
a
brasen
face
,
and
godlines
by
discontinuance
is
so
straunge
among
vs
,
that
it
is
an
easy
thing
to
find
him
that
wil
be
ashamed
of
weldoing
,
and
beare
out
all
maner
of
vngodlinesse
with
a
bolde
countenance
,
and
hard
to
find
him
that
is
ashamed
of
sinne
,
blushing
at
the
committing
thereof
,
and
contrariwise
,
followeth
after
truth
and
righteousnes
with
a
bolde
face
,
and
an
inuincible
courage
.
The
reason
why
the
prophet
perswadeth
them
heerevnto
,
because
the
haruest
of
the
field
is
perished
:
the
vine
is
dried
vp
,
Ill
successe
in
our
calling
must
draw
vs
to
repentance
.
&c.
Generallie
,
because
they
had
so
ill
successe
in
their
callings
,
wherby
we
learn
this
lesson
,
that
whensoeuer
we
do
carefullie
employe
our selues
in
the
discharge
of
our
duty
in
that
calling
,
wherin
the
Lord
hath
set
vs
,
and
we
see
little
fruit
redound
vnto
vs
from
the
same
,
we
haue
iust
cause
to
howle
and
be
ashamed
,
because
that
our
sinnes
haue
stepped
betweene
the
Lorde
and
vs
,
to
keepe
from
vs
his
blessing
vpon
our
labours
,
which
doctrine
is
needfull
to
bee
learned
in
euerie
condition
,
for
if
wee
,
that
are
the
ministers
of
the
word
,
could
be
perswaded
,
that
the
not
profiting
of
our
people
is
because
of
our
sinnes
,
if
the
Magistrate
could
beleeue
that
the
rebellion
and
vnrulines
of
his
subiects
,
were
the
fruit
of
Gods
anger
against
him
for
his
offences
:
if
masters
and
Parents
coulde
be
perswaded
that
the
vnfaythfulnesse
of
their
seruants
,
and
vngratiousnes
of
their
children
were
a
punishment
from
God
for
their
transgressions
.
To
conclude
,
if
he
that
goeth
backwarde
,
in
the
worlde
,
could
thinke
that
God
punisheth
him
therewith
for
his
carelesnesse
in
godlines
,
it
woulde
make
euery
one
of
vs
more
religious
and
godly
,
&
to
lessen
the
kingdome
of
sinne
within
vs
daylie
more
and
more
.
The
cause
whiche
the
Prophete
alleageth
is
,
(
as
you
see
)
sett
downe
in
very
many
wordes
,
The
necessitie
of
vrging
the
worde
in
teaching
.
all
which
do
signifie
one
thing
in
effect
,
and
might
(
as
before
)
haue
beene
expressed
in
one
shorte
sentence
,
but
the
Prophet
knowing
howe
hard
a
thing
it
was
to
make
them
beleeue
that
they
shoulde
so
bee
depriued
of
their
commodities
,
doeth
not
onely
tell
it
vnto
them
,
but
also
vrge
,
and
(
as
it
were
)
in
force
it
vnto
them
,
that
they
might
with
the
more
sence
and
feeling
bee
affected
with
the
same
,
which
teacheth
vnto
vs
,
howe
necessarie
a
thing
it
is
,
for
vs
,
not
onelye
to
haue
the
trueth
of
Gods
woorde
tolde
in
plaine
and
clear
termes
,
but
also
vrged
,
inlarged
,
&
stood
vpon
to
the
ende
,
that
our
harts
which
are
dull
,
may
by
little
and
little
,
receiue
impression
with
the
same
,
&
be
the
more
throwly
conformed
to
the
liking
of
it
,
and
therefore
it
is
,
that
the
holy-ghost
requireth
in
a
minister
,
to
bee
instaunt
in
season
and
out
of
seson
,
to
improue
,
rebuke
,
exhort
with
al
long
suffering
,
and
doctrin
,
for
wee
see
that
the
capacitye
of
man
is
so
narrowe
,
that
oftentimes
he
gainsaying
a
good
thing
propounded
generally
vnto
him
,
which
afterward
being
laid
open
,
&
inlarged
by
the
causes
,
commodities
&
circumstances
therof
,
he
imbraceth
with
great
liking
,
to
the
end
that
we
may
learne
to
like
of
&
imbrace
:
the
necessitye
of
those
continuall
discourses
,
whereby
the
word
of
God
is
persuaded
vnto
our
consciences
,
&
not
(
as
is
the
maner
of
many
)
to
contemne
and
despise
them
.
Lastly
,
the
prophet
hauing
laid
open
this
matter
by
his
particulars
,
concludeth
it
with
an
epiphoneme
,
or
general
sentence
,
saying
:
surely
the
ioye
is
withered
away
from
the
sonnes
of
men
,
that
is
,
the
thing
wherein
the
sonnes
of
men
vse
to
reioyce
,
the
which
the
Prophet
doth
not
only
terme
by
the
name
of
ioye
,
because
men
so
relie
of
it
,
but
also
,
because
the
Lorde
hath
allowed
vs
so
to
vse
them
as
we
may
reioyce
therein
,
for
that
they
are
the
blessings
of
God
bestowed
vpon
vs
,
for
our
necessitie
and
delight
,
yet
so
,
as
it
be
with
these
conditions
,
first
,
that
our
greatest
and
chiefe
pleasure
be
in
the
meditation
,
With
what
conditions
we
may
reioyce
in
the
things
of
this
life
.
&
practize
of
the
law
of
God
:
secondly
,
that
our
harts
be
purified
by
faith
in
Christ
,
for
them
are
all
things
cleane
vnto
vs
:
thirdly
,
that
we
do
reioyce
in
them
to
the
end
to
make
vs
more
fit
to
ioy
in
the
Lorde
,
who
is
the
giuer
of
them
,
if
these
thinges
bee
not
obserued
,
not
onelye
our
reioycinge
in
the
thinges
of
this
life
is
vnlawfull
in
vs
,
and
sinnefull
vnto
vs
,
but
also
,
euen
the
ver●e
vse
thereof
for
our
necessitie
,
shall
turne
to
our
condemnation
.

Gird
your selues
and
lament
,
ye
priests
:
howle
ye
ministers
of
the
altar
come
,
and
lie
al
night
in
sackcloth
,
ye
ministers
of
my
God
:
for
the
meat
offring
,
and
the
drink
offring
is
taken
away
from
the
House
of
your
God
.
&c.
GIrde
your selues
,
O
ye
priests
)
the
Prophet
hauing
spoken
before
in
particular
vnto
the
husband-men
,
Gird
your selues
,
&c
as
if
he
should
say
,
seeinge
that
this
miserie
commeth
vpon
the
whole
land
,
and
seeing
that
you
haue
the
places
of
the
Lordes
remembrancers
,
to
put
him
in
minde
of
his
couenant
vnto
Abraham
,
Esai
.
62.6
.
and
his
mercy
to
his
church
,
it
behoueth
you
not
to
think
lightlie
,
or
careleslie
of
these
thinges
,
but
with
suche
griefe
and
sorrowe
to
conceiue
them
,
as
may
inforce
you
to
all
outwarde
signes
of
the
same
,
that
your
example
may
draw
the
people
on
vnto
the
like
humiliation
and
repentance
:
The
ministers
must
giue
al
good
example
vnto
their
flocks
.
which
speache
of
the
Prophet
doth
teache
vnto
vs
,
first
this
lesson
,
that
the
ministers
of
the
word
of
God
(
for
so
much
as
they
are
to
guide
the
people
in
the
wayes
of
knowlege
,
and
to
persuade
them
to
the
obseruation
of
those
things
which
they
teache
them
out
of
the
woord
)
and
for
so
much
as
they
bee
lyke
vnto
the
Citie
set
on
a
hil
,
that
is
,
For
the
simple
people
(
yea
,
and
those
that
thinke
them-selues
no
fooles
also
)
when
they
heare
anye
doctrine
deliuered
vnto
them
,
that
seemeth
not
to
agree
with
flesh
and
blood
,
do
by
and
by
say
:
but
wil
he
doe
as
he
sayth
,
if
it
appeare
by
any
of
his
disorders
,
that
he
doeth
not
,
forthwith
they
say
:
why
should
wee
beleeue
him
,
or
do
as
he
telleth
vs
,
when
he
doth
cleane
contrary
him-selfe
,
with
out
doubt
,
that
whiche
hee
sayeth
,
is
but
for
fashion
sake
,
for
hee
knoweth
some
nearer
way
to
heauen
then
hee
telleth
vs
(
for
els
hee
would
not
doe
cleane
contrarie
)
and
therefore
wee
will
venture
as
well
as
hee
.
I
know
(
beloued
)
that
the
ministers
of
God
,
whose
life
is
no
way
to
be
reprooued
of
men
,
are
often
charged
to
be
such
:
but
it
is
not
of
them
that
I
speake
,
it
is
too
true
,
that
the
complaint
is
most
iust
of
manie
,
whose
behauior
(
though
they
can
speake
neuer
so
smoothly
in
their
pretenced
eloquence
)
doth
sow
more
seedes
of
atheisme
in
one
year
,
then
their
doctrine
will
root
out
in
their
whole
life
:
&
so
much
the
greter
cause
haue
we
to
lament
our
condition
,
that
(
being
plunged
in
so
many
miseries
)
haue
so
few
to
be
found
among
a
gret
number
,
that
may
faithfully
goe
before
vs
in
the
practise
of
the
course
,
which
may
lead
to
the
preuenting
of
gods
iust
iudgement
against
vs
.
In
that
the
ministers
are
willed
to
gyrd
them selues
,
the
Prophet
vseth
a
borrowed
speech
,
from
the
behauiour
of
the
bodie
in
the
businesses
of
this
life
vnto
that
whiche
concerneth
the
life
to
come
.
For
it
was
the
maner
(
as
many
places
of
scripture
teach
vs
)
of
the
Iewes
and
other
the
people
of
the
East
countreis
,
to
go
in
long
garmences
,
which
(
when
they
were
to
do
any
labour
of
importance
)
they
did
gird
vp
,
to
the
end
that
they
myght
no
waie
be
hindered
,
but
might
perfourme
the
same
,
with
more
readines
,
and
more
effectuallie
.
Now
the
prophet
by
this
kinde
of
speach
,
dooth
teach
the
ministers
,
first
,
that
they
imploy
themselues
in
the
execution
of
those
means
that
may
turne
awaie
the
iudgementes
of
God
from
the
people
with
all
expedition
,
and
teacheth
vs
this
lesson
,
that
whatsoeuer
the
Lorde
commaundeth
vs
out
of
hys
woorde
,
We
may
not
put
off
from
day
to
day
.
wee
take
heede
,
of
deferring
or
putting
of
from
daie
to
daie
,
(
for
that
the
wrath
of
the
Lorde
commeth
of
a
sudden
)
and
with
all
speedines
,
endeuour
to
do
the
same
,
not
consulting
with
flesh
and
blood
,
but
propounding
before
our
eies
the
authoritie
of
him
that
commaundeth
,
and
the
punishments
which
doe
abide
the
transgressi●ours
,
and
disobedient
.
Secondlie
,
(
in
this
kinde
of
speach
)
hee
willeth
the
Priestes
,
the
Lords
ministers
to
laie
aside
all
lettes
and
impediments
that
might
any
way
keep
them
from
,
or
make
them
colde
in
the
perfourmaunce
of
this
dutie
:
whereby
wee
learn
,
We
must
carefullie
auoid
al
lets
vnto
godlines
.
that
the
Lord
our
God
,
doth
not
only
require
at
our
handes
(
in
a
generall
sort
)
that
wee
do
his
will
,
but
also
that
wee
doe
waxe
wise
by
obseruation
,
and
diligentlie
marke
by
experience
,
what
things
they
be
that
are
anie
waie
a
hinderance
vnto
vs
in
the
discharge
of
that
dutie
that
we
owe
vnto
God
,
&
carefullie
to
vse
al
those
meanes
that
may
direct
vs
to
auoyd
them
,
which
is
a
lesson
that
is
verie
needfull
to
be
learned
of
euerie
Christian
,
and
(
beeing
rightly
vsed
)
shall
greatlie
increase
vs
in
true
spiritual
wisedome
and
holines
,
for
in
this
regard
it
is
,
that
christians
are
called
souldiours
not
onelie
that
they
may
fight
against
the
enemies
of
their
soules
,
but
also
,
that
by
experience
,
they
may
waxe
wise
and
spirituallie
polliticke
,
to
obserue
diligentlye
wherein
it
is
that
they
bee
most
ouertaken
,
and
carefullie
to
fortifie
them selues
there
,
not
onelie
by
strengthening
their
spirituall
armour
,
but
also
by
lessening
the
power
of
the
olde
man
,
in
taking
away
all
those
allurements
,
or
baytes
that
hee
hath
fedde
him selfe
vppon
,
to
fight
against
the
soule
.
Hee
willeth
them
to
lament
,
which
is
that
earnest
griefe
whiche
is
conceiued
in
the
heart
by
the
liuelie
sence
of
anie
miserie
.
And
this
is
not
onelie
enioyned
vnto
them
,
as
they
are
a
part
of
the
people
,
and
therfore
subiect
to
the
generall
punishment
,
but
especiallie
,
for
that
they
beeing
the
ministers
of
GOD
,
to
stand
(
as
it
were
in
the
gappe
)
betweene
God
and
his
people
,
to
intreat
the
Lorde
for
them
,
and
to
speake
in
the
name
of
all
:
for
which
cause
it
is
requisite
that
the
Ministers
of
God
bee
suche
as
haue
an
especiall
sence
of
the
thinges
that
the
people
stand
in
neede
of
,
and
that
in
more
measure
then
anie
common
Christian
,
for
els
shall
they
neuer
deale
effectuallie
with
the
LORDE
for
them
,
nor
faithfullie
with
them
from
him
.
Againe
,
He
biddeth
them
lie
in
sackcloth
,
which
is
also
a
phrase
of
speech
expressing
the
manner
of
their
behauiour
in
the
actions
of
griefe
and
sorrowe
:
for
they
were
woont
in
suche
cases
to
couer
themselues
wyth
Sackclothe
,
that
they
myght
be
the
more
induced
vnto
mourning
:
the
meaning
(
for
the
generall
equitie
and
trueth
thereof
vnto
the
Godlie
for
euer
)
is
,
that
as
wee
were
taught
out
of
the
woord
Gird
,
to
remooue
from
vs
all
impediments
that
maie
let
vs
from
well-dooing
:
so
in
this
wee
learne
,
Wee
must
vse
al
lawful
prouocations
&
helps
to
stir
vs
vp
to
godlines
.
that
wee
must
take
vnto
our selues
,
all
prouoking
meanes
,
whereby
we
maie
bee
made
more
fitte
,
and
able
to
discharge
our
duties
the
more
effectually
,
the
which
is
(
also
)
diligentlie
to
bee
obserued
,
for
as
the
nature
of
man
,
being
prone
to
all
ill
,
hath
(
on
the
one
side
)
manie
inticements
,
to
drawe
him
from
all
goodnes
,
if
they
bee
not
wiselie
looked
vnto
:
so
hath
it
(
on
the
other
side
)
by
reason
of
the
dulnesse
that
it
is
of
vnto
anie
goodnesse
,
need
of
manie
spurres
and
prickes
to
sturre
him
vppe
,
without
which
,
hee
shall
not
onelie
keepe
him selfe
from
the
perfourming
of
many
duties
that
be
required
at
his
hands
,
but
also
freeze
and
waxe
cold
in
that
which
hee
hath
begunne
:
So
that
(
ioyning
the
former
and
this
together
)
hee
that
determineth
to
beecome
a
Christian
indeede
,
and
euer
looketh
to
attaine
vnto
anie
acceptable
measure
of
Godlinesse
,
or
hauing
attained
therevnto
,
to
contynue
therein
,
vnto
the
ende
,
must
carefullie
watche
to
remooue
all
thinges
that
hee
seeth
maye
hynder
hym
,
and
diligentlie
take
vppe
,
all
those
helpes
which
maie
further
him
in
the
same
.
The
lacke
of
obseruation
whereof
,
is
the
cause
,
that
so
many
in
these
last
and
dangerous
daies
take
vpon
them
the
name
of
christians
with
so
smal
reformation
,
&
that
so
many
shrink
away
from
that
good
course
which
at
the
first
they
had
begun
.
It
is
not
onelie
required
at
their
handes
,
that
they
doe
this
,
but
also
,
that
they
lye
therein
all
night
,
whereby
he
meaneth
to
shew
them
,
that
they
must
abide
in
that
kind
of
humiliation
,
and
not
presently
to
begin
and
end
the
same
,
teaching
vnto
vs
this
doctrine
,
that
the
Lorde
our
God
doth
not
onely
require
at
our
hands
,
We
must
not
onely
begin
well
,
but
continue
so
vnto
the
end
.
onely
that
wee
beginne
well
,
or
that
we
like
of
good
and
godly
motions
for
a
time
,
and
after
suffer
them
to
be
quenched
and
die
,
but
also
that
we
so
begin
that
we
may
continue
,
and
so
continue
,
that
it
may
endure
vnto
the
ende
,
which
lesson
we
haue
great
need
to
learne
,
in
these
declining
daies
,
when
men
doe
so
generallie
fall
from
their
first
loue
for
we
see
,
that
the
truth
is
of
suche
maiestie
in
it selfe
,
that
it
captiueth
the
hearts
of
the
very
reprobate
,
vnto
the
like
thereof
for
a
season
,
but
it
is
(
onely
)
as
the
flashe
of
a
lightning
,
that
commeth
&
goeth
(
almost
)
in
one
moment
,
but
we
are
to
know
,
that
albeit
it
be
a
good
thing
to
begin
well
,
yet
it
profiteth
vs
nothing
,
vnlesse
wee
continue
therein
,

for

endureth

In
most
miserable
case
then
be
they

for

Sauiour
telleth
vs
[
c
](A14191-e6440-b)
c
Mat.
12.45
that
the
ende
of
such
persons
is
woorse
than
their
beginning
.
Nowe
least
they
shoulde
take
exceptions
against
him
,
as
one
that
took
too
much
vpon
him
,
and
reprooued
those
that
were
to
reprooue
him
,
hee
calleth
them
,
Ye
ministers
of
my
God
)
wherein
first
of
all
,
he
auoucheth
his
authoritie
and
warrant
,
by
vertue
whereof
hee
did
so
instruct
them
,
to
shew
them
that
in
disobeying
his
words
their
offence
was
not
against
him
,
but
the
Lorde
.
Secondly
,
hee
sheweth
that
he
doth
acknowledge
them
to
be
the
Ministers
of
God
,
and
yet
dooth
iustly
shew
them
their
duety
,
teaching
vnto
vs
,
that
euen
the
ministers
that
are
to
instruct
others
when
they
do
amisse
,
or
faile
in
anie
duetie
,
are
to
be
reprooued
for
their
fault
,
and
taught
howe
to
amend
.
As
hee
dealt
with
the
husbandmen
,
so
dooth
hee
with
the
priests
,
that
is
,
The
abridging
of
the
gospel
must
greeue
vs
.
the
Ministers
of
the
Lord
must
so
much
be
greeued
therewithall
,
as
the
glorie
of
God
is
deere
vnto
them
.
The
vse
of
which
doctrine
(
for
our
instruction
)
is
this
,
that
as
the
outward
seruice
consisted
then
in
the
multitude
of
sacrifices
,
so
dooth
it
nowe
in
the
enlargement
of
the
preaching
profession
,
and
practise
of
the
gospell
,
so
that
whensoeuer
the
same
is
any
waye
abridged
(
if
we
haue
that
zeale
of
Gods
glory
that
we
shoulde
)
it
must
driue
vs
vnto
the
same
sorrowe
that
these
are
commanded
to
take
vp
in
the
like
case
.
Again
,
we
learn
by
this
(
comparing
it
with
the
cause
thereof
)
that
whensoeuer
the
word
of
God
,
either
in
the
profession
or
practise
of
the
same
hath
not
that
free
passage
that
is
meete
,
the
cause
therof
resteth
in
the
sins
of
the
people
,
that
profes
the
same
word
according
as
we
heard
yesterday
deliuered
vnto
vs
more
at
large
.
Now
in
that
hee
sayth
(
The
house
of
your
God
)
he
doth
not
only
put
them
in
mind
of
their
calling
from
whence
it
came
,
and
the
Iudge
to
whome
they
must
giue
account
,
howe
they
haue
demeaned
themselues
in
it
,
The
comfort
of
the
Minister
when
the
people
be
backe
ward
.
but
also
(
in
the
generall
backewardnesse
of
the
people
)
comforteth
so
many
of
them
as
laie
these
thinges
to
heart
,
that
howsoeuer
they
might
bee
discouraged
by
the
frowardnes
of
the
people
,
and
fear
,
that
God
was
not
therfore
pleased
with
them
,
hee
notwithstanding
remained
still
their
God
,
&
reckned
of
them
according
to
their
faithfulnes
in
their
calling
,
&
not
after
the
fruit
that
came
of
it
,
which
hee
always
reserueth
in
his
owne
hand
,
to
lessen
or
encrease
it
,
according
to
his
good
pleasure
.
And
surely
,
this
lesson
is
very
needefull
to
bee
learned
in
these
euill
dayes
,
of
those
faithfull
Ministers
that
doe
with
a
good
conscience
discharge
their
duties
:
for
the
discoragements
that
we
haue
,
by
the
carelesnes
,
&
obstinat
disobedience
of
the
people
to
whom
our
feete
ought
to
be
most
beautifull
,
are
many
and
greeuous

that
we
wil
speak
no
more
in
the
name
of
the
Lorde
,
but
we
haue
a
more
sure
staffe
to
lean
to
,
which
is
that
whatsoeuer
fruit
come
of
our
labors
though

that

yet
are

for
as
it

Maiestie
to

,
and
to
accept
it
as
a
worshippe
vnto
his
name
,
notwithstanding
nothing
to
their
profite
:
so
is
it
his
gracious
good
will
,
to
accept
of
the
faithfull
diligence
of
his
seruauntes
in
the
ministerie
of
his
woorde
,
though
they
doe
not
conuert
one
soule
,
for
howsoeuer
it
be
,
Gods
glorie
shall
be
aduaunced
therby
,
which
must
bee
the
principall
marke
that
we
are
(
in
all
our
actions
)
to
aime
at
.
Sanctifie
you
a
fast
,
&c.
)
After
that
hee
hath
shewed
vnto
them
howe
they
are
to
behaue
themselues
priuately
,
What
a
publike
fast
is
.
we
are
first
to
consider
what
this
fast
is
,
to
the
ende
,
that
it
may
the
better
appeare
howe
it
is
to
bee
doone
:
briefly
therfore
it
may
be
thus
described
▪
it
is
an
abstinence
commaunded
of
the
Lord
,
thereby
to
make
solemne
profession
of
our
repentance
.
It
is
called
an
abstinence
,
not
as
if
that
were
all
and
euery
thing
requyred
at
our
hands
in
such
an
action
▪
but
because
it
is
the
most
noted
outward
helpe
therevnto
:
for
indeed
fasting
is
no
part
of
the
thing
,
but
onely
an
outward
helpe
to
drawe
vs
the
better
vnto
the
inward
sense
of
that
vnfained
repentaunce
,
which
wee
are
to
shew
foorth
.
Nowe
this
fasting
is
not
like
that
of
the
Papists
,
wherein
they
abstaine
from
some
kinde
of
foode
,
and
cram
themselues
with
others
:
but
it
is
an
vtter
refusall
of
all
the
commodities
and
pleasures
of
this
life
,
therby
to
make
vs
the
apter
to
the
inward
vertue
.
And
therfore
wee
reade
,
that
the
godlye
were
accustomed
to
refraine
from
all
kinde
of
foode
,
vnttil
the
euening
.
Vpon
what
occasion
fasts
are
to
be
sanctified
.
Secondly
,
wee
are
to
see
,
when
,
and
vpon
what
occasion
this
exercise
is
to
bee
taken
in
hande
.
One
,
and
not
the
least
,
the
woordes
of
our
Prophet
doe
shewe
vs
,
who
vppon
consideration
of
the
miserie
that
they
felt
,
and
iudgements
that
they
feared
,
were
commaunded
to
humble
themselues
before
the
lord
:
so
that
whensoeuer
the
Church
of
God
is
in
any
distresse
,
or
feareth
any
danger
approching
,
it
is
the
duetie
of
the
guides
thereof
,
to
call
them
vnto
this
solemne
fasting
.
Other
causes
there
be
of
the
same
,
as
the
electing
of
ministers
or
magistrats
,
Whether
it
belongeth
to
the
magistrates
or
ministers
to
sanctifie
a
fast
.

they
that
lay
it
vpon
the
magistrate
,
doe
alleadge
for
their
profe
the
examples
of
Iehosaphat
,
king
of
Iudah
,
and
the
king
of
Niniuie
,
who
both
in
the
like
extremitie
proclamed
generall
fasts
amongest
their
people
:
but
they
are
aunswered
thus
:
First
,
that
their
particular
examples
doe
not
prooue
a
generall
doctrine
in
this
case
,
seeing
that
the
commandement
of
God
(
as
shall
appeare
)
is
expresse
on
the
other
side
.
Secondlie
,
it
can
not
bee
prooued
,
that
Iehosaphat
(
for
the
other
was
a
heathen
king
,
whose
example
can
prooue
nothing
)
didde
anye
more
in
that
action
,
than
both
hee
might
and
was
commaunded
to
doe
in
euery
part
of
religion
,
and
,
that
is
,
to
proclaime
and
by
his
authoritie
to
compel
them
to
whom
the
Church
matters
appertained
to
doe
their
dueties
faithfully
,
and
therefore
it
is
,
that
the
Holie-ghost
in
that
place
,
(
and
also
in
that
of
Ionah
)
vseth
a
worde
farre
different
from
this
in
this
place
:
for
there
the
woorde
signifieth
to
call
or
send
forth
,
which
maye
in
generall
bee
applied
vnto
the
promulgation
of
anye
edict
whatsoeuer
,
and
heere
it
importeth
(
as
it
were
)
a
conseecration
,
or
hallowing
withall
,
which
is
a
thing
peculiar
to
the
Ministers
of
the
worde
,
so
that
thus
farre
it
belongeth
to
the
Magistrate
to
see
it
done
,
to
enioine
the
doing
of
it
,
and
(
if
it
please
him
)
to
appoint
the
time
thereof
vnto
the
ministers
,
but
that
the
particular
notifieng
of
it
to
the
people
belongeth
vnto
the
ministers
of
the
worde
it
is
euident
by
these
reasons
:
first
,
that
which
the
Lorde
commaundeth
out
of
his
worde
vnto
the
Ministers
of
a
Church
established
,
the
same
(
vnlesse
it
be
repealed
by
some
countermaunde
)
is
the
office
of
the
Ministers
of
the
word
for
euer
:
but
the
Lorde
out
of
his
worde
commaundeth
in
this
place
,
the
Ministers
of
the
Church
of
Israel
,
which
was
an
established
Churche
,
and
that
vnder
a
king
,
to
sanctifie
a
fast
,
&
call
the
solemne
assemblie
,
therfore
it
is
the
duetie
of
the
Ministers
of
the
word
for
euer
:
secondly
,
that
which
cannot
be
done
without
doctrine
and
publike
praier
,
that
same
is
the
office
of
the
Minister
:
but
the
sanctifieng
of
a
fast
(
that
is
,
the
preparing
of
the
people
by
instruction
what
it
is
,
and
to
what
ende
,
and
praying
vnto
God
to
enable
them
therevnto
)
can
not
bee
doone
wythout
doctrine
and
praier
,
An
obiection
answered
.
one
Minister
hath
no
further
authoritie
than
his
particular
flocke
,
and
therefore
can
cal
no
publike
fast
further
than
amongest
his
owne
people
.
But
the
whole
Church
being
guided
by
a
Councell
of
Ministers
,
is
to
be
prepared
to
a
fast
,
by
the
authoritie
of
the
whole
.
You
may
further
saye
vnto
me
:
What
if
the
Eldershippe
of
Ministers
doe
not
,
or

it

whether
oughte
a
particular
Minister
(
who
in
that
case
is
as
a
priuate
manne
)
to
doe
it
or
no
?
An other
obiection
answeared

I
answeare
,
that
if
other
men
will
not
doe
their
duetie
,
yet
I
may
not
meddle
wyth
it
,
but
the
example
or
authoritie
of
others
,
must
not
make
me
leaue
mine
owne
duety
vndone
.
So
that
it
is
true
a
general
fast
,
in
a
whole
kingdome
,
or
in
manie
partes
thereof
may
not
be
proclaimed
by
one
minister
:
yet
may
hee
,
(
and
by
the
worde
of
God
hee
ought
)
when
God
threatneth
or
punisheth
,
What
is
the
ende
of
a
publike
fast
.
call
his
owne
charge
vnto
this
same
exercise
.
Lastly
,
he
sheweth
in
the
latter
ende
of
the
verse
,
Our
repentance
in
the
day
of
fasting
must
be
more
than
ordinarie
.
And
therefore
,
when
all
these
things
are
enioyned
,
to
the
ende
,
that
wee
may
crie
vnto
the
Lorde
:
wee
learne
,
that
it
is
not
an
ordinary
sorrowe
for
sinne
,
a
crauing
of
pardon
,
that
will
serue
the
turne
at
suche
a
time
,
but
as
the
circumstaunces
bee
more
,
and
the
causes
more
weightye
,
so
must
our
humiliation
bee
in
more
measure
,
than
at
anye
other
time
before
or
after
,
if
it
may
bee
accepted
of
the
Lorde
.
Alas
for
the
day

The
crie
that
they
are
to
make
vnto
the
LORD
,
is
in
generall
sorte
sette
downe
in
this
Uerse
,
wherevnto
the
entraunce
is
wyth
a
kinde
of
speache
,
not
onelie
expressing
a
great
and
heauie
griefe
,
but
also
a
minde
exceedingly
troubled
in
the
same
:
for
the
words
(
Alas
this
day
)
which
should
go
together
,
doe
in
effect
signifie
thus
much
:
Great
and
greeuous
is
our
miserie
,
and
the
burthen
thereof
lieth
so
heauie
vppon
vs
,
that
thys
day
we
are
as
vtterly
cast
away
,
and
feele
such
a
smarte
of
the
Lordes
displeasure
at
hande
as
we
tremble
and
quake
to
thinke
of
it
:
So
that
these
woordes
doe
expresse
vnto
vs
,
what
humbled
soules
,
and
what
greeued
heartes
wee
are
to
bee
of
,
when
(
the
Lorde
threatning
to
punish
vs
)
wee
are
employed
in
this
exercise
,
to
the
ende
that
wee
may
learne
,
euen
(
as
it
were
)
to
breake
our
owne
heartes
,
and
to
enforce
them
vnto
a
more
deepe
meditation
of
our
forlorne
condition
than
euer
hath
entered
into
vs
heretofore
.
Againe
,
whereas
they
are
willed
to
say
,
the
day
of
the
Lorde
is
at
hand
,
hee
dooth
not
meane
that
generall
day
,
wherein
hee
wil
call
to
account
both
the
quicke
and
the
dead
:
but
in
consideration
of
that
miserable
ruine
which
was
to
fall
vppon
the
land
,
What
is
meant
by
the
day
of
the
Lorde
.
wherein
the
people
thereof
shall
seeme
to
be
cutte
off
from
vnder
heauen
,
and
in
regarde
of
the
mighty
power
wherewith
the
Lorde
will
stretche
out
his
arme
in
such
a
manner
,
as
though
he
meant
to
consecrate
it
,
as
a
peculiar
daie
to
expresse
his
maiestie
.
For
as
the
Lorde
is
saide
(
of

)
to
sleepe

when
hee
sheweth
not
foorth
his
might
,
and
(
as
it
were
)
to
haue
lefte
thinges
vnto
theyr
owne
disposition
,
so
on
the
other
side
,
it
is
saide
to
bee

or

Moreouer
,
it
is
saide
to
bee

,
that
if

vnto
themselues
one

,
but
rather
to
assure
themselues
of
present
desolation
,
which
is
diligently
to
bee
learned
of
all
persons
,
and
at
all
times

For

of

of

shall
so
quench
all
the
motions
of

that
hee
shall
perfourme
nothyng
therein
,
but
in
such
superficiall
maner
as
shall
bee
to
no

The

from
whence
all
thys
woe
must
bee
looked
for
to
fall
vppon

,
is
sayde
to
be
the
Almighty
,
which
name
is
properly
geuen
to
God
,
when
hee
sheweth
hymselfe
a
victorer
or
ouercommer
,
whereby
the
Prophet
geueth
them
an
other
meditation
of
their
miserie
,
that
the
Lord
of
heauen
and
earth
,
by
whome
,
not
onely
all
things
are
guyded
and
gouerned
,
but
also
they
(
in
peculiar
manner
)
had
many
waies
bin
enriched
and
blessed
,
was
no
more
to
bee
looked
for
as
a
deliuerer
or
a
protector
,
but
as
a
most
terrible
Iudge
,
and
seuere
destroier
,
because
that
they
had
rebelled
against
him
,
who
hadde
euer
beene
so
gratious
and
bountiful
vnto
them
:
and
it
teacheth
vnto
vs
this
lesson
,
that
if
wee
enioye
the
blessings
of
God
,
and
make
not
the
right
vse
of
them
,
when
the
Lorde
seeth
that
we
swarne
from
him
,
&
doe
that
which
seemeth
good
in
our
owne
eies
,
hee
will
come
against
vs
wyth
his
seueritie
so
much
the
more
intolerable
,
as
we
haue
receiued
his
blessings
in
greater
abundance
.
Is
not
the
meat-offering
,
&c.
)
The
causes
of
mourning
(
which
wee
haue
heard
at
large
before
)
are
heere
repeated
:
for
in
a
solemne
sorrowe
before
the
Lorde
,
what
can
go
more
neare
vs
(
if
we
looke
into
the
matter
aright
)
than
this
,
that
the
honour
of
God
shall
be
stained
,
and
(
the
ministerie
of
the
woorde
ceasing
)
the
price
of
the
pretious
bloud
of
the
Sonne
of
GOD
fall
to
the
ground
,
by
reason
that
his
kingdome
receiueth
no
encrease
by
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
which
maye
conuert
soules
vnto
him
?
Nowe
in
that
hee
calleth
it
ioy
and
gladnesse
,
hee
dooth
first
of
all
teach
vs
,
that
(
if
wee
bee
of
the
number
of
them
that
doe
in
heart
wishe
,
that
which
in
woordes
they
daily
begge
at
the
hand
of
God
,
that
is
,
that
his
kingdome
may
come
,
then
is
our
principall
ioy
,
and
chiefest
thing
that
wee
long
after
to
labor
to
enlarge
the
spreading
abroad
of
the
gospell
,
that
manie
may
embrace
it
,
The
ioy
of
the
godlie
.
and
bring
foorth
fruites
woorthie
the
same
,
but
if
wee
haue
litle
or
small
care
hereof
(
which
indeede
is
the
disposition
of
the
most
)
it
is
a
signe
,
that
wee
neuer
yet
profited
so
farre
in
godlinesse
,
as
these
people
,
who
(
for
all
that
are
ready
to
be
throwne
into
finall
destruction
.
And
moreouer
,
it
doth
teach
vs
,
Religion
decaying
,
the
godlie
haue
not
matter
of
gladnesse
in
this
world
that
if
wee
want
this
,
and
see
that
it
goeth
to
wracke
,
then
is
there
nothing
vnder
the
sunne
that
can
giue
vnto
vs
anie
iust
matter
of
gladnesse
.
And
(
indeede
)
if
wee
consider
well
of
it
,
wee
shall
see
,
that
it
is
most
apparaunt
:
For
if
wee
[

gaine
the
whole
worlde
,
and
doe
loose
our
owne
soules
,
what
doth
it
auaile
vs
.
But
if
we
be
not
partakers
of
the
ministery
of
Gods
worde
,
the
meanes
of
our
saluation
dooth
ceasse
,
and
therefore
,
though
wee
shoulde
enioy
honour
,
wealth
,
pleasure
,
and
all
that
our
heart
can
desire
,
and
be
without
Christ
Iesus
,
who
is
the
Sauiour
of
them
(
onelie
)
that
learne
by
the
knowledge
of
his
blessed
woorde
,
to
beleeue
in
hym
,
we
shoulde
but
enioy
so
many
weyghts
to
wey
downe
our
condemnation
,
and
make
it
more
intollerable
vnto
vs
.
Is
not
the
seed
?
)
The
destruction
of
the
common-wealth
(
which
also
we
heard
before
)
is
here
repeated
as
a
matter
for
them
to
meditate
vppon
,
and
commend
the
redresse
of
it
to
the
Lord
,
the
particular
speeches
which
are
heere
more
than
in
that
before
,
are
to
be
considered
:
first
,
where
hee
saieth
:
that
the
seede
is
rotten
vnder
the
clods
,
his
mening
is
,
that
their
seed
which
they
did
sowe
,
and
hoped
to
reape
agayne
wyth
encrease
,
did
neuer
spring
vppe
,
but
rotted
vnder
the
grounde
.
Nowe
if
this
was
a
cause
to
induce
the
Israelites
to
saye
:
Alas
for
this
day
,
then
surely
haue
wee
iust
cause
for
to
sing
the
verye
same
Song
,
or
rather
for
to
mourne
wyth
the
verye
same
lamentation
:
for
we
can
none
of
vs
be
ignorant
,
how
the
Lorde
hath
delt
with
vs
,
in
sending
so
great
aboundance
of
moisture
,
whose
nature
is
to
nourish
,
and
so
drowning
the
earth
therewith
,
whose
kind
is
to
bring
foorth
for
the
vse
of
man
,
that
the
earth
was
vnto
the
corne
,
as
a
graine
,
&
the
raine
vnto
the
earth
,
as
the
running
of
a
floode
,
and
both
they
,
so
bent
againste
man
for
his
disobedience
to
his
maker
,
that
in
manie
places
of
this
land
,
they
denied
him
all
,
not
accompting
him
woorthy
to
receiue
his
seed
againe
:
so
that
we
may
assure
our selues
of
the
lords
anger
against
vs
,
which
will
be
sure
to
burst
out
as
[
a
](A14191-e7350-b)
a
Iere.
4.4
.
a
fire
,
which
none
shal
be
able
to
quench
,
vnlesse
,
we
returne
by
speedy
repentance
.
How
did
the
beasts
mourne
?
)
The
prophet
dooth
further
will
them
to
saie
vnto
the
Lord
,
that
the
beasts
did
mourne
,
whereby
hee
first
sheweth
the
miserable
case
of
this
people
,
that
were
so
afflicted
,
as
the
verye
sence
thereof
did
(
after
a
sort
)
mooue
the
brute
beasts
,
and
yet
did
they
remaine
hard
harted
,
wherby
he
sheweth
their
condition
to
bee
worse
then
that
of
the
beast
without
vnderstanding
.
Secondly
hee
sheweth
the
miserable
confusion
that
the
sinne
of
man
bringeth
vppon
all
creatures
,
that
for
the
same
(
euen
)
the
whole
frame
of
heauen
,
and
earth
becommeth
out
of
square
:
and
the
dumbe
creatures
,
are
pinched
with
penury
,
in
suche
wise
,
as
they
according
to
their
kinde
do
grone
,
vnder
the
burden
of
mans
transgressions
.
Nowe
whereas
hee
sayeth
,
that
the
flockes
of
sheepe
are
destroyed
,
hee
toucheth
one
kinde
of
punishment
that
wee
are
to
thinke
of
,
for
albeit
,
it
be
true
that
if
wee
respect
the
generall
number
,
it
is
not
so
with
vs
,
yet
in
regarde
of
the
particular
estate
of
diuers
,
it
may
bee
trulie
saied
that
it
hath
also
fallen
vppon
vs
,
for
it
is
knowen
,
that
the
vnseasonable
wette
that
did
fall
,
infected
with
rottennes
,
verie
manie
flockes
in
diuers
countries
,
so
that
thys
beeing
another
of
the
causes
of
the
Israelites
sorrowe
,
wee
are
to
assure
our selues
that
vnlesse
we
make
the
right
vse
of
it
,
we
shall
feele
that
punishment
,
and
farre
greater
,
In
seeking
to
redresse
any
thing
we
must
begin
with
seeking
reconciliation
with
God
.
(
except
in
time
wee
repent
)
that
yet
we
doe
not
perceiue
.
In
all
this
councell
,
which
the
Lorde
by
his
Prophet
giueth
them
heere
,
is
no
mention
made
of
anie
aduice
to
prepare
them selues
for
the
Warres
,
that
they
myght
resist
the
enemies
,
nor
of
pollitike
prouision
in
the
time
of
this
dearth
to
make
things
reach
so
farre
,
and
bee
so
well
ordered
as
maie
bee
,
which
hee
dooth
not
leaue
our
,
as
though
they
were
vnlawefull
.
But
hee
speaketh
of
that
which
is
the
first
to
bee
doone
,
and
beeing
trulie
perfourmed
,
will
both
teach
and
gyue
a
blessing
vnto
the
seconde
meanes
,
whereby
wee
learne
this
lesson
,
that
vnlesse
wee
take
thys
course
first
,
and
afterward
proceede
vnto
the
second
,
(
whych
also
was
the
practise
of
that
good
king

in

all
our
preparation
and
politike
deuises
shall
vanish
as
the
smoake
,
and
doe
more
harme
then
good
:
which
thing
(
O
the
want
of
England
heerein
)
if
it
were
considered
,
then
should
wee
see
a
better
issue
,
of
manie
notable
plottes
,
that
fall
to
the
grounde
,
and
doe
no
good
,
because
the
LORD
cannot
awaye
to
bee
made
seruaunt
vnto
fleshe
and
blood
,
and
therefore
when
hee
smyteth
or
threateneth
to
smyte
vs
,
and
wee
flee
to
anye
other
helpe
then
hym
,
or
to
anye
other
good
meanes
that
hee
hath
allowed
vs
,
before
wee
seeke
reconciliation
wyth
hym
,
hee
will
bee
sure
to
laie
his
cursse
vpon
our
labors
,
that
they
shall
bring
forth
wind
,
and
therefore
let
vs
pray
vnto
the
Lord
our
God
,
that
he
would
direct
those
that
he
hath
set
ouer
vs
,
first
,
to
seeke
true
reconciliation
with
him
,
and
then
shall
their
pollicie
prosper
,
or
els
can
we
looke
for
nothing
in
the
end
but
miserie
and
desolation
:
and
let
euerye
priuate
man
learne
the
lesson
for
his
owne
profite
,
that
whensoeuer
anye
thing
goeth
a
crosse
with
him
,
and
hee
would
amend
it
,
let
him
know
that
the
cause
being
in
his
sinne
that
hath
displeased
the
Lorde
,
if
euer
he
looke
to
haue
it
helped
indeed
,
hee
must
beginne
with
this
sound
conuersion
vnto
GOD
,
with
whome
hee
beeing
once
at
one
,
other
things
shall
fall
out
well
,
but
hee
continuing
in
displeasure
with
him
(
which
he
will
doe
so
long
as
he
abideth
in
impenitencie
)
how
can
any
thing
that
hee
taketh
in
hand
go
well
with
him
.
To
thee
will
I
crie
.
)
The
prophet
seeing
that
these
things
did
mooue
them
very
little
,
How
Gods
ministers
must
behaue
themselues
,
when
all
good
things
are
resisted
.
must
neuer
be
so
discouraged
,
as
to
leaue
that
calling
wherein
GOD
hath
set
them
,
for
