Sermon
.
1.
WHo
Ioel
the
sonne
of
Pethuel
was
,
The
assyrians
agaynst
Ezechias
.
For
albeit
the
same
Eezechias
had
restored
the
true
seruice
&
worship
of
God
,

.
yet
notwithstanding
(
as
we
may
see
in
Esay
)
there
wanted
not
some
,
which
laboured
to
keep
still
their
old
superstitions
,
&
withall
brake
forth
by
vnbrydeled
libertie
into
all
kind
of
sinne
&
wickednes
.
Hereunto
was
added
the
Egyptian
league
or
couenant
,
The
woorde
of
the
Lorde
that
came
to
Ioel
the
sonne
of
Pethuel
.
In
these
wordes
he
both
auoucheth
his
calling
,
and
also
procureth
authoritie
to
his
doctrine
,
least
they
shoulde
thinke
him
to
vtter
foorth
the
conreytes
or
dreames
of
his
own
braine
.
This
thing
the
Prophets
are
accustomed
euery
where
to
doe
by
reason
of
the
boldenesse
of
the
wicked
;
with
whome
it
is
a
verye
common
and
ordinarye
matter
,
to
seeke
on
euery
side
occasions
,
whereby
they
may
call
the
doctrine
,
that
reproueth
them
,
into
question
,
and
bryng
it
into
batted
.
Against
whiche
men
there
can
no
other
authoritie
more
ryghtly
or
conueniently
be
obiected
,
then
the
authoritie
of
God
him selfe
:
for
albeit
for
the
present
time
they
laugh
it
to
scorne
,
&
abuse
it
with
their
vnseemely
scoffes
and
iestes
,
yet
notwithstanding
in
their
season
they
fynde
those
thinges
to
bee
true
,
which
they
will
nowe
by
no
meanes
beleeue
,
and
then
beyng
conuicted
in
their
owne
heartes
,
they
feele
horrible
boylinges
in
their
consciences
.
In
the
meane
tyme
wee
are
admonished
,
that
in
the
Churche
,
whiche
(
as
Paule
sayth
)
is
the
house
of
the
liuing
GOD
,
1.
Tim.
3.
In
the
Church
the
word
of
God
is
only
to
bee
taught
.
there
ought
nothing
to
bee
taught
and
set
foorth
but
the
woorde
of
God
.
For
if
so
bee
this
thynge
were
so
diligently
obserued
of
the
Prophetes
and
Apostles
,
whose
calling
GOD
confirmed
by
infinite
argumentes
and
testimonies
:
howe
much
more
then
ought
the
same
to
bee
regarded
of
those
that
are
by
no
meanes
comparable
vnto
them
:
Detestable
therefore
is
their
boldenesse
and
unpudence
,
whiche
in
these
dayes
thinke
euery
thing
to
bee
lawefull
for
them
,
and
that
which
eyther
they
them selues
haue
deuised
,
or
else
receyued
from
their
most
superstitions
fathers
,
they
thrust
into
the
Churche
for
vndoubted
oracles
.
As
for
vs
,
let
vs
bee
mindefull
of
Christ
,
who
sayth
:
My
sheepe
heare
my
voyce
,
and
they
followe
mee
:
a
stranger
will
they
not
follow
,
but
will
flie
from
him
,
because
they
knowe
not
the
voyce
of
strangers
.
&c.
Iohn
10.
In
the
beginning
of
this
first
Sermon
,
hee
procureth
attention
,
Hearken
ye
(
saith
he
)
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
,
whether
such
a
thing
(
that
is
to
say
,
any
thing
like
vnto
this
)
hath
happened
in
your
dayes
,
or
in
the
daies
of
your
fathers
.
Tel
your
children
of
it
,
&
let
your
children
shew
their
children
,
&c.
1.
Cor.
2.
Psal.
119.
Where
wee
are
admonished
first
of
all
,
that
the
word
of
belongeth
to
the
information
of
all
sortes
of
men
:
for
in
as
much
as
by
the
fall
of
sinne
wee
haue
all
of
vs
lost
that
true
light
of
reason
whiche
was
in
our
first
Parentes
,
wee
nowe
stande
all
in
neede
of
a
newe
light
,
which
God
vseth
to
offer
vnto
vs
by
his
worde
.
And
hitherto
serueth
it
,
that
hee
willeth
the
Elders
especially
to
giue
their
attendance
,
whome
wee
saide
euen
nowe
to
goe
before
others
in
experience
of
thinges
and
in
giuing
of
aduice
.
For
albeit
we
be
neuer
so
diligently
instructed
,
nor
neuer
so
wel
seene
in
the
long
vse
and
experience
of
things
;
yet
shall
we
nothing
at
all
profit
in
the
things
belonging
to
Gods
kingdome
,
vnlesse
wee
bee
inlightened
from
aboue
,
and
hearken
to
God
speaking
vnto
vs
by
his
worde
:
Which
is
the
cause
,
that
the
Scriptures
do
euery
where
exhort
vs
to
the
studie
of
the
word
,
and
also
do
reproue
the
insolencie
of
those
,
that
neglecting
it
,
will
needes
be
wise
of
themselues
,
and
follow
the
swindge
of
their
owne
braine
.
I
know
that
hee
will
commaunde
his
sonnes
,
and
his
housholde
after
him
,
that
they
keepe
the
way
of
the
Lorde
,
and
doe
righteousnesse
and
iudgement
.
&c.
They
therefore
doe
hyghlye
deserue
of
Gods
glory
,
religion
and
publike
welfare
of
men
,
that
eyther
priuately
instructe
and
bring
vp
their
children
in
the
knoweledge
of
gods
workes
,
or
publikely
lay
before
them
the
histories
of
their
owne
countrie
,
or
also
of
other
nations
,
to
the
intent
that
out
of
them
their
posteritie
may
fetch
examples
of
Gods
iudgements
,
and
bee
admonished
of
theyr
owne
dueties
.
But
greatly
is
the
wretchednesse
of
our
tyme
to
bee
lamented
,
wherein
the
exercise
of
Gods
word
is
of
the
most
part
neglected
,
the
iudgementes
of
God
marked
of
very
fewe
,
histories
corrupted
through
the
peruerse
affections
of
men
,
and
as
for
our
children
,
they
eyther
not
regarded
at
all
,
or
els
trayned
vp
in
those
thinges
,
that
it
had
beene
muche
better
for
them
neuer
to
haue
knowen
.
This
negligence
of
ours
must
God
needes
punishe
,
to
the
end
wee
may
learne
to
bee
wise
by
our
owne
harmes
,
that
woulde
not
be
warned
by
other
mens
.
That
which
is
left
of
the
palmer
worme
,
hath
the
grashopper
eaten
,
and
that
which
is
left
of
the
Grashopper
,
hath
the
canker
worme
eaten
,
and
that
which
is
left
of
the
canker
worme
,
hath
the
caterpiller
eaten
.
The
sense
is
this
:
If
one
onely
calamitie
had
destroyed
the
increase
but
of
one
yeere
alone
,
it
might
haue
seemed
to
come
by
chaunce
,
or
at
least
not
to
deserue
so
great
obseruation
.
But
seeing
there
haue
now
certaine
yeeres
together
,
one
folowing
in
anothers
necke
,
succeeded
in
a
maner
whatsoeuer
is
wont
to
bee
hurtfull
&
noysome
,
to
the
fruits
of
the
earth
,
&
that
of
the
later
plagues
is
deuoured
&
corrupted
,
whatsoeuer
was
left
of
the
former
:
you
must
of
necessitie
be
very
blockishe
,
that
haue
not
acknowledged
the
manifest
and
singuler
iudgement
of
God
,
who
would
not
only
punish
you
with
scarcitie
&
hunger
,
but
also
teach
you
by
those
wormes
,
what
shold
shortly
come
to
passe
,
vnlesse
by
these
smaler
punishments
you
amended
your
liues
:
namely
that
forraine
enemies
with
an
incredible
multitude
of
souldiers
shoulde
ouerrunne
the
whole
land
,
and
in
maner
〈◊〉
Caterpillers
or
canker
wormes
wast
and
destroy
all
that
euer
is
both
farre
&
neer●
And
that
this
is
the
meaning
of
the
Prophe●
appeareth
sufficiently
by
his
woorde●
following
.
Oftetimes
the
trembling
trees
,
I
do
remember
well
,
(
If
so
bewitcht
we
had
not
beene
)
This
mischiefe
did
foretell
.
Heere
appeareth
also
the
inuincible
power
of
God
,
and
how
little
the
forces
of
men
can
doe
against
him
,
when
as
he
is
able
by
such
small
and
feeble
creatures
to
vanquishe
and
ouercome
them
.
For
why
?
he
is
called
the
God
of
hosts
,
not
onely
for
this
cause
,
that
all
creatures
do
serue
him
,
but
for
that
also
hee
can
(
according
to
his
good
pleasure
)
arme
them
with
straunge
forces
,
so
as
they
may
be
sufficient
to
ouercome
euen
the
most
fel
Tyrants
and
most
mightie
nations
.
A
notable
example
of
this
thing
wee
haue
in
Pharao
,
whose
fiercenes
god
tamed
diuers
times
by
mice
,
frogges
,
flyes
,
wormes
,
lice
,
so
that
he
was
faine
to
stoupe
and
crouch
vnto
Moses
.
The
same
happened
to
the
Philistines
.
when
as
they
were
in
their
chiefe
pride
for
the
Arke
of
the
couenant
which
they
had
taken
.
In
like
manner
wee
reade
of
Antiochus
,
Herode
,
Sylla
and
diuers
other
eaten
and
gnawen
of
wormes
&
of
most
mightle
monarchies
vtterly
su●uerted
&
ouerthrowen
by
people
that
we●●
before
obscure
&
vnknowen
.
As
for
the
fruit
of
the
earth
,
wherupon
our
life
dependet
▪
God
can
take
them
away
either
by
winde
or
vnseasonable
raine
,
or
by
euery
little
change
of
weather
:
that
wee
may
speak●
nothing
nowe
of
haile
,
frost
,
and
other●
bruntes
of
more
grieuous
tempests
.
Whe●●fore
being
mindefull
of
these
things
,
let●
obserue
the
examples
of
gods
iudgements
and
humble
our selues
vnder
his
might●

,
who
will
bountifully
bestowe

Sermon
2.

Yea
a
nation
commeth
vpon
my
land
mightie
,
and
without
number
:
whose
teeth
are
like
the
teeth
of
a
Lion
,
and
he
hath
the
iawes
of
a
Lionesse
.
7
Hee
maketh
my
Vine
waste
,
and
pilleth
off
the
barke
of
my
figtree
.
Hee
maketh
it
bare
,
and
casteth
it
downe
,
the
branches
thereof
are
made
white
.
8
Mourne
like
a
Virgin
girded
with
sackcloth
for
the
husband
of
her
youth
.

The
meat
offring
,
and
the
drink
offring
is
cutte
off
from
the
house
of
the
Lorde
:
the
Priestes
the
Lordes
ministers
mourne
.
10
The
field
is
wasted
,
the
land
mourneth
,
for
the
corne
is
destroyed
,
the
new
wine
is
dried
vp
,
and
the
oyle
is
decayed
.
11
Be
yee
ashamed
O
husbandmen
,
howle
O
yee
Vine
dressers
,
for
the
wheat
and
for
the
barley
,
because
the
haruest
of
the
fielde
is
perished
.
12
The
Vine
is
dried
vp
,
the
figtree
is
decayed
,
the
Pomegranate
tree
,
and
the
Palme
tree
,
and
the
Aple
tree
,
and
all
the
trees
of
the
fielde
are
withered
:
surely
the
ioye
is
withered
awaye
from
the
sonnes
of
men
.
ALbeit
God
being
prouoked
by
the
incurable
malice
of
men
,
Esay
,
Micheas
,
and
others
,
and
that
very
bitterly
and
often
.
But
when
as
hee
preuayled
nothing
thereby
,
at
the
length
hee
mooued
Warre
against
them
by
the
Assyrians
.
And
beeing
in
danger
,
hee
gaue
Ioel
vnto
them
for
to
exhorte
them
to
repentance
,
and
to
put
them
in
hope
of
pardon
if
they
conuerted
vnto
him
.
Hee
therefore
to
the
intent
hee
might
the
more
easily
obtaine
this
at
their
handes
,
is
very
plentifull
in
describing
the
punishments
,
which
he
so
layeth
before
them
,
that
they
might
vnderstande
that
they
came
not
to
passe
by
haphazard
,
but
were
sent
by
the
iust
iudgement
of
God
.
Whither
especially
serueth
this
present
place
,
wherin
he
stirreth
vp
all
sortes
of
men
to
mourning
:
intending
thus
much
,
that
they
that
had
hytherto
careleslye
concenmed
the
iudgementes
of
God
,
might
nowe
euery
of
them
enter
into
their
own
heartes
,
and
seeke
for
the
causes
of
the
present
warre
in
them selues
,
and
hauing
found
them
,
go
in
hand
with
amendment
of
life
.
Where
wee
learne
,
howe
that
in
publike
calamities
no
man
ought
to
bee
carelesse
,
as
though
hee
him selfe
were
no
parte
or
cause
thereof
.
For
albeeit
some
sinne
more
greeuously
then
other
,
yet
is
no
man
altogether
without
fault
:
yea
and
it
commeth
commonly
to
passe
by
the
sinnes
of
the
people
,
that
eyther
wicked
princes
are
giuen
vnto
them
,
which
bring
all
thinges
out
of
order
by
their
desperate
counsayle
,
or
els
that
there
is
no
good
done
by
the
holesome
counsailes
of
the
best
and
most
godly
princes
.
Euery
one
therfore
ought
to
enter
into
themselues
,
and
to
bewayle
not
onely
the
common
calamitie
,
but
also
their
sinnes
,
wherby
they
haue
caused
it
,
and
to
seeke
the
amendement
of
them
,
which
is
the
very
best
and
onely
way
,
whereby
they
maye
prouide
both
for
the
safety
of
themselues
and
of
that
which
they
haue
.
yee
drunkards
,
and
weepe
,
howle
all
yee
drinkers
of
wine
.
&c.
For
why
:
Drunkards
and
winebibbers
are
wont
to
spend
the
greatest
part
of
their
time
in
slouthfull
sleepe
,
and
although
they
somtimes
wake
,
yet
differ
they
little
from
sleepers
,
sith
they
haue
no
certainetie
of
any
thing
,
and
want
the
vse
both
of
reason
and
senses
.
Moreouer
they
sleepe
securely
in
their
sinnes
,
they
reioyce
in
them
,
yeathey
fill
al
thinges
with
their
mad
musicke
and
frantike
iollitie
,
and
outrage
in
all
kinde
of
wanconnesse
.
Now
therefore
the
Prophet
willeth
them
to
awake
,
to
weepe
and
to
howle
:
intending
thereby
to
vpbrayde
them
with
these
their
wicked
maners
and
conditions
.
As
though
hee
shoulde
saye
,
Yee
haue
slept
hitherto
through
stitch
O
yee
drunken
rioters
,
in
whose
feastes
(
that
I
may
vse
the
wordes
of
Esay
)
are
the
harpe
and
viole
,
timbrell
and
pipe
,
but
in
the
meane
time
yee
haue
not
regarded
the
worke
of
the
Lord
,
ye
would
seeme
to
be
like
vnto
Dauid
,
and
yet
could
he
nothing
at
al
preuaile
with
you
by
his
godly
admonitions
.
But
now
is
it
time
as
I
suppose
,
that
you
also
should
awake
and
fall
to
weeping
.
For
albeit
the
publike
calamitie
of
the
whole
nation
doe
not
as
yet
mooue
yee
,
yet
at
leaste
mourne
for
the
liquor
of
life
,
which
is
pluckt
awaye
from
your
mouth
.
By
liquor
he
vnderstandeth
nothing
else
then
wine
:
but
yet
he
would
vse
this
word
,
to
the
intent
hee
might
taunt
the
scurrilitie
of
the
Drunkardes
,
which
are
wont
to
giue
sundrye
and
vnusuall
names
to
their
wine
,
that
euen
by
that
means
they
might
testifie
their
vnsatiable
loue
of
wine
.
Examples
of
this
lightnes
we
haue
ouer
many
with
vs
euery
day
to
be
seen
.
But
he
teacheth
them
by
this
means
that
they
should
euen
now
be
compelled
in
spight
of
their
teeth
,
to
become
more
sober
,
when
as
God
had
taken
from
them
this
liquor
,
wherewith
they
had
hitherto
beene
ouermuch
moystend
and
made
frolicke
.
Neither
wanteth
it
great
force
,
in
that
he
saith
it
is
pluckt
from
their
mouth
,
to
shew
,
that
all
hope
was
now
quite
gone
from
them
,
seeing
that
God
had
smitten
the
very
cuppes
out
of
their
hands
,
which
they
were
euen
now
about
to
set
to
their
lippes
.
And
to
the
end
hee
might
the
better
rouze
them
vp
,
hee
layeth
before
them
a
description
of
the
enemies
and
of
the
desolation
by
them
made
very
fearefull
and
terrible
,
saying
:
For
a
nation
commeth
vpon
my
land
,
a
nation
(
I
say
)
mightie
,
and
without
number
,
whose
teeth
are
like
the
teeth
of
a
Lyon
.
&c.
And
by
teeth
he
signifieth
the
inuincible
strength
and
we
apons
of
the
Assyrians
,
such
as
are
in
the
teeth
and
iawes
of
Lions
very
incredible
.
That
nation
maketh
my
Vine
waste
,
&
pilleth
off
the
barke
of
my
fygtree
.
&c.
In
which
wordes
he
signifieth
a
more
than
ordinary
crueltie
of
the
enemies
,
who
not
contented
to
haue
wreaked
their
fury
vpon
the
bodies
of
men
,
and
to
haue
spoyled
the
fruites
nowe
layde
vp
in
the
fielde
and
left
still
on
the
trees
,
should
exercise
their
crueltie
also
,
euen
vppon
the
land
it selfe
,
and
vppon
the
very
trees
,
that
all
commoditie
of
dwelling
in
that
lande
might
quite
be
taken
from
those
,
that
had
happily
escaped
their
handes
.
Neither
doeth
God
say
without
a
cause
,
that
these
thinges
were
done
in
his
land
,
in
his
vineyarde
,
in
his
figtree
:
that
so
he
might
teach
them
,
that
hee
woulde
neuer
haue
suffred
these
thinges
to
come
to
passe
except
their
wickednesse
had
enforced
him
,
which
had
hitherto
prophaned
that
lande
,
that
ought
to
be
consecrated
to
him
alone
and
the
very
seate
of
his
true
worship
.
Wee
are
admonished
therefore
by
this
example
,
Am
I
not
sente
to
these
caytifes
that
keepe
watche
vppon
the
Walles
:
That
they
may
eate
theyr
owne
doung
and
drinke
theyr
owne
pisse
with
you
:
And
truely
this
was
a
horrible
iudgement
of
GOD
,
wherby
he
would
haue
his
own
land
thus
to
be
afflicted
.
Neyther
yet
happened
these
thinges
at
that
time
alone
,
but
when
as
afterwarde
they
returned
to
the
selfe
same
manners
,
they
had
the
desolation
of
seuentie
yeeres
brought
vpon
them
by
the
Babylonians
.
And
at
length
both
the
Citie
and
Temple
beeing
vtterlye
subuerted
by
the
Romanes
,
God
(
according
as
hee
had
threatned
in
the
Lawe
)
wholy
remooued
his
blessing
from
that
lande
,
But
omitting
these
Drunkardes
,
the
Prophet
turneth
his
speeche
to
the
Churche
of
the
Godly
,
like
a
Virgin
girded
with
sackcloth
for
the
Lorde
of
her
youth
.
So
calleth
hee
the
husbande
,
whome
GOD
him selfe
hath
commanded
to
take
the
rule
and
gouernment
ouer
the
wife
.
And
hee
compareth
the
Churche
of
the
Godlye
to
a
wife
or
spouse
,
which
parable
is
euery
where
to
be
met
with
all
in
the
Scriptures
.
But
in
this
place
it
signifieth
moste
bitter
mourning
.
For
like
as
the
loue
of
new
married
folkes
is
most
tender
and
feruent
,
so
can
there
not
bee
but
moste
grieuous
mourning
,
if
euen
in
the
first
beginning
it
be
interrupted
by
the
death
of
the
husband
.
But
he
prescribeth
to
the
Godly
a
farre
other
cause
of
mourning
,
then
vnto
the
Drunkards
.
For
he
willed
these
to
mourne
because
of
the
wine
taken
from
them
,
for
as
much
as
they
make
account
of
nothing
to
be
so
sweete
and
pleasant
vnto
them
as
wine
.
But
to
the
other
he
sayth
:
For
the
meate
offring
and
drinke
offring
is
cutte
off
from
the
house
of
the
Lorde
,
the
Priestes
that
serue
the
Lord
mourne
.
And
in
these
wordes
he
signifieth
the
subuersion
of
Gods
worshippe
,
whiche
was
grown
by
the
terrour
of
the
warre
and
destruction
of
the
Land
,
as
that
whiche
immediath
followeth
doeth
testifie
,
when
hee
addeth
▪
The
fielde
is
wasted
,
the
land
mourneth
,
for
the
Corne
is
destroyed
,
and
the
wine
is
dryed
vp
,
and
the
oyle
is
decayed
.
For
they
vsed
dayly
in
their
meate
offringes
corne
and
oyle
,
and
when
they
offred
their
firste
fruites
they
cooke
also
a
certaine
quantitie
of
wine
.
And
in
these
kindes
he
comprehendeth
the
whole
externall
worship
,
which
in
the
time
of
warre
was
for
the
most
part
intermiteed
,
when
as
they
could
neither
goe
vp
to
the
temple
that
dwelt
in
Iudea
,
neither
also
were
the
fruites
sufficient
for
the
daily
sacrifices
in
that
horible
desolation
of
the
whole
land
.
This
thing
was
most
grieuous
vnto
the
priestes
,
whom
he
sayth
therfore
to
haue
mourned
,
when
namely
they
compared
the
present
confusion
of
thinges
with
the
former
concourse
of
the
whole
nation
vnto
the
holy
rites
.
But
for
the
same
cause
the
Prophet
biddeth
also
the
rest
of
the
godly
to
mourne
.
For
although
it
be
lawfull
for
vs
to
lament
our
domesticall
and
priuate
miseries
(
so
that
it
be
modestlie
done
)
yet
for
so
much
as
the
worship
of
God
ought
before
all
other
thinges
to
bee
most
deare
vnto
vs
,
it
behooueth
vs
to
mourne
,
for
this
also
especially
,
if
at
any
time
we
perceiue
the
same
to
fayle
or
decay
:
and
so
muche
the
more
bitter
ought
this
griefe
to
bee
vnto
vs
,
for
because
this
thing
happeneth
by
our
default
,
whose
duetie
it
was
by
our
continuall
practise
of
godlinesse
and
innocencie
,
to
mamtaine
and
defend
the
true
seruice
and
worship
of
GOD
.
It
is
a
griefe
to
the
childe
,
if
he
heare
the
honour
of
his
father
to
come
in
danger
.
But
if
he
see
the
same
to
happen
by
his
owne
ouersight
,
that
seemeth
indeede
vnto
him
a
thing
intosterable
.
The
like
consideration
is
to
bee
had
of
Gods
children
,
who
are
wont
to
preferre
the
glory
of
God
before
all
maner
of
riches
,
and
euen
before
their
owne
proper
life
it selfe
.
This
thing
bewrayeth
the
great
wretchednesse
of
the
people
of
our
dayes
,
who
are
at
a
point
,
whatsoeuer
the
state
of
Gods
worship
and
religion
bee
,
so
as
they
may
keepe
reuell
route
and
enioy
their
goodes
after
their
owne
heartes
desire
.
But
they
shall
one
day
bee
compelled
to
lament
their
owne
destruction
,
that
would
not
bewayle
the
losse
of
Gods
glory
and
religion
.
Thirdly
,
he
speaketh
to
the
husbandmen
&
vinedressers
,
Be
ye
ashamed
O
husbandmen
(
saith
hee
)
Howle
O
ye
vine
dressers
,
for
the
wheate
and
for
the
Barley
,
because
the
haruest
of
the
fielde
is
perished
.
And
forthwith
he
reckoneth
vp
diuers
and
sundry
kindes
,
and
sheweth
that
all
is
nowe
quite
taken
awaye
,
which
was
wonte
to
bee
a
ioye
and
comforte
vnto
men
.
Neither
ought
this
so
often
a
repetition
of
one
and
the
selfesame
thing
to
bee
thought
superfluous
.
For
there
is
no
question
but
that
they
all
wepte
aboundantly
,
when
they
sawe
the
cruell
enemies
to
destroye
all
that
euer
was
on
euery
side
.
But
they
mourned
no
otherwise
then
like
brute
beastes
,
for
that
they
wanted
those
thinges
,
which
serued
their
necessitie
and
delight
:
in
the
meane
time
as
touching
the
pacifying
of
Gods
wrath
,
they
cared
not
much
for
that
.
Whiche
blockishnesse
to
the
ende
hee
might
driue
from
them
,
he
efte
soones
heapeth
together
and
inculketh
whatsoeuer
was
done
contrary
to
the
common
maner
of
warfaring
by
the
vnaccustomed
fury
of
the
souldiers
:
that
so
they
might
acknowledge
the
singular
iudgèment
of
God
,
and
beginue
by
that
occasion
to
consider
of
their
sinnes
.
These
thinges
therfore
ought
to
serue
also
for
our
instruction
.
For
this
blor●●shnesse
or
stupiditie
sticketh
fast
in
all
men
,
so
as
they
cannot
euen
with
most
grieuous
plagues
be
brought
to
the
acknowledgement
of
their
transgressions
,
for
in
as
much
as
we
sticke
commonly
in
second
causes
,
wee
acknowledge
not
these
thinges
to
proceede
from
Gods
wrath
.
Our
mourning
therefore
being
ioyned
with
a
beastly
astonishment
,
conteyneth
nothing
else
then
outcries
and
howlings
,
witnesses
of
our
impatiencie
and
desperation
,
whereby
we
cause
both
our
punishmentes
to
be
more
grieuous
,
and
also
prouoke
Gods
wrath
so
muche
the
more
against
vs
.
Let
vs
remember
therefore
,
that
wee
haue
so
to
mourne
in
the
time
of
our
troubles
,
that
we
may
diligentlye
obserue
the
causes
of
them
,
and
be
vnfeignedly
grieued
for
that
same
through
faith
to
Godward
:
which
grief
or
sorrow
(
as
Paul
sayth
)
causeth
repentance
to
saluation
,
not
to
bee
repented
of
.
For
it
bringeth
vs
to
Christ
Iesus
,
who
as
he
reconcileth
vs
to
God
his
father
,
so
doth
he
prepare
vs
to
euery
good
worke
,
that
finally
hauing
escaped
all
the
miseries
of
this
world
,
we
may
reigne
with
him
for
euer
in
heauen
.
To
him
therefore
bee
giuen
,
blessing
,
honour
,
glory
and
dominion
for
euer
and
euer
.
Amen
.
Sermon
3.
14
Sanctifie
you
a
fast
,
call
a
solemne
assemblie
,
gather
the
elders
,
and
all
the
inhabitantes
of
the
land
,
into
the
house
of
the
Lord
your
God
,
and
crie
vnto
the
Lorde
.
The
Assyrian
warre
on
euery
side
oppressed
,
to
repentance
.
Which
to
the
intent
hee
might
the
better
bring
to
passe
,
hee
beginneth
with
the
description
of
the
punishments
,
which
being
amplisted
with
a
diligent
rehearsall
of
all
the
circumstances
,
he
layeth
before
them
:
and
this
he
doeth
partly
to
shewe
,
that
the
euils
whiche
they
had
hytherto
suffered
came
not
at
all
aduenture
,
but
were
sente
of
GOD
:
and
partly
to
prooue
that
repentance
and
conuertion
vnto
GOD
was
verye
requisite
and
necessarie
for
them
.
For
why
?
men
are
wont
commonly
to
fayle
in
these
two
pointes
,
that
first
they
acknowledge
not
the
hande
of
GOD
in
afflicting
them
,
but
perswade
themselues
that
all
thinges
come
to
passe
by
chaunce
,
or
at
haphazarde
:
Whereupon
straight
wayes
followeth
the
other
:
namely
,
that
they
thinke
they
haue
no
neede
of
repentaunce
.
Which
two
thinges
forasmuch
as
they
reigne
euerye
where
nowe
adayes
,
the
diligence
of
the
Prophete
,
which
hee
presently
vseth
,
ought
by
no
meanes
to
bee
deemed
superfluous
,
for
to
these
hee
adioyneth
nowe
the
doctrine
of
repentance
,
to
the
which
hee
duely
exhorteth
them
,
and
in
fewe
woordes
comprehendeth
all
those
things
,
which
,
whysest
wee
bee
chastized
of
God
,
are
necessary
of
vs
to
bee
obserued
and
done
.
Gyrde
your selues
,
and
lament
yee
Priestes
,
howle
yee
Ministers
of
the
altar
,
that
is
to
say
:
you
whome
God
hath
appointed
to
bee
administers
of
the
Sacrifices
and
of
the
whole
outwarde
seruice
,
Come
,
to
wit
,
into
the
temple
,
neither
put
yee
on
your
solemne
and
mysticall
garments
,
but
apparrell
your selues
with
,
sackcloth
,
and
lye
there
all
night
O
ye
Ministers
of
my
God
.
And
hee
willeth
them
to
put
on
sackcloth
,
after
the
custome
and
maner
of
the
people
of
the
East
,
who
were
wont
in
theyr
greatest
heauinesse
,
and
in
the
time
of
their
publike
repentance
to
change
their
garmentes
,
&
to
vse
a
more
streighter
kind
of
weede
,
and
more
fitte
to
mourne
withall
.
But
the
end
of
all
is
this
,
that
they
should
not
onelye
require
repentaunce
of
others
,
as
though
they
themselues
were
voyde
of
all
blame
,
but
rather
to
bee
the
first
that
should
returne
vnto
God
,
&
to
become
guides
vnto
other
in
returning
to
him
,
whome
before
by
their
negligence
they
estranged
from
him
.
And
hee
alleadgeth
the
selfesame
cause
,
as
before
,
when
hee
addeth
:
Because
the
meate
offering
and
drinke
off●ring
is
taken
away
from
the
house
of
your
God
.
And
hee
addeth
weight
vnto
the
cause
,
in
that
hee
calleth
them
the
Ministers
of
the
Altar
,
and
of
God
himselfe
.
For
if
so
bee
the
religion
and
worship
of
God
,
bee
highly
to
bee
tendred
euen
of
priuate
persons
,
howe
muche
more
then
ought
the
same
to
be
regarded
of
those
,
whom
God
himselfe
hath
made
Presidents
of
religion
,
and
which
liue
by
the
ministerie
thereof
?
But
heere
must
wee
obserue
also
,
that
the
Ministers
of
the
woorde
haue
receyued
this
commaundemente
from
GOD
himselfe
,
Ieremie
:
Beholde
this
day
daye
doe
I
make
thee
a
defenced
Citie
,
an
yron
pyller
,
and
a
brazen
wall
against
the
whole
lande
,
against
the
kinges
of
Iuda
,
and
againste
the
Princes
thereof
,
againste
the
Priestes
,
and
against
the
people
of
the
whole
land
.
Loe
euen
to
Kinges
,
Princes
,
and
Priestes
ought
Ieremie
to
preache
,
whom
it
is
euidente
to
haue
preached
no
other
thing
then
repentance
,
namely
,
that
forsaking
their
sinnes
they
should
turne
vnto
GOD
,
and
bee
made
partakers
of
saluation
in
Christ
.
This
selfe
same
thing
obserued
the
reste
of
the
Prophetes
,
as
in
theyr
Sermons
is
to
bee
seene
.
And
that
there
is
no
other
order
of
teaching
prescribed
in
the
Newe
Testament
,
the
precepte
of
Christe
declareth
,
who
commaundeth
the
Gospell
to
bee
preached
to
all
people
of
all
sortes
and
degrees
,
The
very
selfe
same
also
do
the
examples
teach
,
which
are
set
foorth
in
the
Ministers
of
the
newe
Testament
.
Certesse
the
first
of
them
Iohn
Baptist
dealt
more
hardly
and
seuerely
with
none
,
then
with
the
Pharisees
,
whose
authoritie
at
that
time
was
greatest
in
matters
of
religion
.
The
same
thought
good
not
to
spare
euen
Herode
himselfe
,
What
shoulde
wee
say
of
Christe
,
Christe
Iesus
.
Dauid
,
Ezechias
,
Iosias
,
&
afterwarde
Theodosius
were
farre
otherwise
minded
,
who
in
this
behalfe
procured
to
them selues
most
excellent
commendation
,
and
to
their
kingdoms
assured
peace
,
for
that
they
set
the
worde
of
God
before
their
eyes
to
be
folowed
,
and
paciently
suffered
the
rebuke
thereof
,
&c.
a
fast
.
That
is
to
say
,
proclaime
such
a
fast
,
as
all
men
at
once
forsaking
al
their
prophane
studies
&
delightes
,
may
bende
themselues
onely
to
those
things
,
that
serue
to
Gods
glory
,
and
the
leading
of
a
holy
and
Christian
conuersation
:
for
by
the
name
of
Fasting
,
the
Scripture
vnderstandeth
not
a
superstitious
abstinence
,
which
consisteth
in
the
difference
of
meats
,
and
obseruation
of
certaine
dayes
,
such
as
of
late
tymes
was
brought
in
by
mens
traditions
:
but
it
requireth
a
discipline
,
where
by
the
pride
and
lust
of
our
fleshe
may
be
tamed
and
kept
vnder
.
This
discipline
is
extended
to
all
those
thinges
,
that
cause
the
flesh
to
become
more
proude
or
fierce
,
whether
the
same
bee
meate
,
or
drinke
,
or
apparell
,
or
also
company
with
our
wiues
,
asit
shal
appeare
in
the
second
Chapter
.
There
can
therefore
heere
no
certaine
lawes
bee
prescribed
,
but
euery
man
must
be
a
law
to
himselfe
,
whilest
he
obserueth
the
nature
and
disposition
of
his
owne
flesh
,
and
withdraweth
the
nourishments
of
lust
from
the
same
.
Neither
also
are
these
thinges
required
to
this
ende
and
purpose
,
as
though
they
merited
any
thing
of
themselues
:
(
for
the
kingdome
of
God
is
not
meate
and
drinke
,
but
righteousnes
,
and
peace
,
and
ioye
in
the
holy
Ghost
.
And
the
saying
of
the
Lorde
is
wel
knowen
in
the
Prophet
:
When
ye
fast
ye
fast
to
your selues
,
and
when
yee
eate
,
yee
eate
to
your selues
,
&c
,
)
But
that
the
spirite
myght
haue
and
enioye
this
power
and
dominion
in
vs
,
least
that
the
fleshe
preuayling
ouer
it
,
shoulde
disturbbe
and
put
bye
the
exercise
of
repentance
.
Whiche
also
is
the
cause
,
that
it
is
not
tyed
or
bounde
to
anye
certayne
dayes
,
but
is
then
commaunded
,
when
eyther
wee
stande
in
neede
of
publique
repentaunce
for
speciall
causes
,
or
else
wee
our selues
priuately
feele
the
power
of
the
spirite
to
decay
and
waxe
weake
in
vs
,
so
farre
foorth
that
Christe
,
whiche
in
the
brydegrome
of
our
soules
,
may
seeme
to
bee
departed
and
gone
fromvs
:
of
whiche
thyng
hee
hym selfe
in
the
Gospell
inueyghyng
agaynst
the
Pharisaical
fastes
,
Ioel
therefore
prescribeth
no
superstitious
thyng
,
but
hee
vegeth
this
at
their
handes
,
that
reiectyng
the
baites
and
entysementes
of
sinne
,
they
woulde
prepare
them selues
vnto
prayer
and
amendemente
of
lyfe
.
But
some
man
may
say
:
Why
wylleth
hee
a
faste
to
be
publikely
proclaymed
,
Secondly
,
Call
a
solemne
assembly
.
And
immediatly
he
setteth
bow●
who
they
are
,
&
whither
they
should
be
called
.
Gather
the
Elders
,
and
all
the
inhabitantes
of
the
lande
,
into
the
house
of
the
Lord
your
God
.
He
will
haue
the
Elders
to
be
called
,
by
the
name
of
whom
are
vnderstood
,
as
many
as
beeing
placed
in
anie
dignitie
doe
surmount
other
in
authoritie
.
And
he
hath
a
speciall
eye
vnto
these
,
because
that
by
the
example
of
such
publik
assemblies
,
repentance
is
greatly
furthered
.
Yet
he
adioyneth
vnto
them
al
other
states
&
degrees
whatsoeuer
:
for
why
,
it
is
conuenient
,
that
seeing
al
together
haue
by
sinning
prouoked
God
vnto
anger
,
all
likewise
shoulde
bee
carefull
howe
to
appease
the
same
.
But
he
will
haue
these
assemblies
to
be
made
in
the
Temple
,
and
that
because
it
had
excellent
promises
,
as
appeareth
in
the
first
booke
of
the
Kings
:
Christ
Iesus
,
who
alone
is
able
to
pac●●e
Gods
wrath
,
and
reconcile
vs
vnto
him
.
Thus
therefore
he
sendeth
them
to
the
promised
Sauior
of
mankinde
,
least
they
shoulde
attribute
any
glory
of
merit
either
to
their
fasts
or
outward
assemblies
.
In
the
meane
time
this
place
maketh
much
to
the
commendation
of
holy
assemblies
,
for
although
neither
the
worshippe
of
God
,
nor
praiers
ought
to
bee
tied
to
any
certaine
places
(
because
that
the
true
worshippers
doe
worshippe
euery
where
in
spirite
and
trueth
)
yet
for
orders
sake
,
Where
two
or
three
are
gathered
together
in
my
name
,
there
I
am
in
the
middest
of
them
:
and
whatsoeuer
they
shal
aske
,
it
shal
be
giuen
them
of
my
Father
,
which
is
in
heauen
.
For
seeyng
God
woulde
haue
vs
eipecially
to
bee
of
one
minde
in
religion
,
their
consent
can
not
but
greatly
please
him
,
that
meete
together
to
praye
that
his
wrath
may
bee
turned
from
them
.
Where
vpon
in
tymes
past
Tertullian
We
come
together
in
the
congregation
,
to
the
intent
that
making
as
is
were
a
hande
vnto
God
wee
may
compasse
him
with
our
prayers
.
This
force
is
acceptable
and
pleasing
vnto
God
.
And
hereof
it
came
(
as
it
seemeth
vnto
mee
)
that
the
auncient
Fathers
appoynted
certayne
houres
of
prayers
,
whereof
there
is
mention
in
Daniel
and
in
the
Actes
:
Furthermore
,
And
crye
vnto
the
Lorde
.
So
he
prouideth
,
least
any
shoulde
thinke
repentance
to
consist
in
a
certaine
vaine
&
stagelike
ostentation
:
for
he
wisteth
them
to
pray
,
nay
to
crye
,
that
he
might
commende
vnto
them
an
earnest
&
feruent
desire
of
praying
.
And
he
will
haue
them
to
direct
their
prayers
vnto
the
Lord
,
least
after
the
maner
of
the
Gentiles
and
superstitious
sorte
,
they
shoulde
craue
ayde
and
helpe
of
the
creatures
.
As
for
the
forme
of
prayer
,
which
they
must
publikely
vse
,
he
will
prescribe
that
in
the
Chapter
following
.
In
the
meane
season
it
is
our
partes
,
to
learne
heereby
what
wee
ought
to
doe
in
these
daies
,
when
as
the
tokens
of
Gods
wrath
are
euerie
where
seene
:
and
the
wicked
euenues
of
God
doe
most
grieuouslye
oppresse
his
church
.
Many
there
be
in
deede
,
endewed
both
with
wisedome
and
authoritie
,
that
consulte
aboute
this
matter
.
But
the
onely
way
of
appeasing
Gods
wrath
and
atteining
vnto
sauing
health
must
this
bee
,
which
is
heere
taught
and
set
downe
.
For
it
is
confirmed
with
infinite
promises
and
examples
,
euen
from
the
beginning
of
the
worlde
to
this
day
.
The
Prophets
doe
thunder
out
this
euery
where
.
Christ
Iesus
our
onely
Sauiour
:
to
whom
be
giuen
blessing
,
honour
,
glory
,
and
dominion
for
euer
and
euer
.
Amen
.
Sermon
.
4.
16.
Is
not
the
meat
cut
off
before
your
eyes
?
and
ioy
&
gladnes
from
the
house
of
our
God
?
17.
The
seed
is
rotten
vnder
the
clods
,
the
garners
are
destroyed
,
the
barnes
are
broken
downe
,
for
the
corne
is
withered
.
18
Howe
haue
the
beastes
mourned
?
the
heards
of
cattell
piue
away
,
because
they
haue
no
pasture
,
and
the
flockes
of
sheepe
are
destroyed
.
19.
To
thee
O
Lorde
will
I
crye
,
for
the
fire
hath
consumed
the
pastures
of
the
wildernesse
,
and
the
flame
hath
burnt
vp
all
the
trees
of
the
fielde
.
20.
The
beastes
of
the
fielde
also
shall
crye
vnto
thee
:
for
the
riuers
of
waters
are
dryed
vp
,
and
the
fire
hath
deuoured
the
pastures
of
the
desert
.
Alas
for
that
day
(
saith
hee
)
for
the
day
of
the
Lorde
is
at
hande
,
and
will
come
as
a
destruction
from
the
Almightie
.
And
the
Scripture
calleth
the
day
of
the
Lorde
the
time
of
vengeance
,
wherein
hee
punisheth
the
vngodly
:
because
he
then
especially
proueth
him self
to
be
God
,
who
seemeth
to
be
none
,
when
he
suffereth
sins
to
goe
vnpunished
.
The
sense
therefore
of
the
words
is
this
:
Hitherto
forsooth
our
gracious
and
merciful
God
hath
of
long
time
deferred
the
punishmentes
,
which
you
haue
deserued
.
But
forsomuch
as
you
haue
shamefully
abused
his
long
suffering
pacience
,
nowe
is
the
day
of
iudgement
at
hande
,
and
that
suche
,
as
euen
nowe
when
I
thinke
of
it
,
it
causeth
mee
to
shake
and
quake
for
feare
.
For
it
will
come
as
a
certayne
desolation
from
the
Almightie
.
That
is
to
say
,
it
will
come
much
like
,
as
if
God
shoulde
bend
all
his
forces
at
once
to
destroy
those
that
woulde
not
hitherto
bee
amended
.
Where
wee
are
admonished
,
that
they
doe
in
vayne
trust
in
the
long
sufferaunce
of
God
,
which
cease
not
to
prouoke
his
wrath
by
their
continuall
custome
of
sinning
.
For
such
doe
heape
vp
to
themselues
wrath
,
as
Paule
saith
,
Is
not
the
meat
(
sayth
he
)
cut
off
from
before
our
eyes
?
Is
not
ioy
and
gladnes
departed
from
the
house
of
our
God
:
for
why
?
the
sacrifices
of
the
Iewes
were
full
of
reioycement
and
comfort
,
as
well
because
they
renewed
the
memorie
of
Gods
auncient
benefites
towardes
them
,
as
also
for
that
they
were
types
and
figures
of
the
redemption
to
come
in
Christ
,
and
confirmed
the
promises
thereof
.
If
your
matters
bee
so
cock-sure
,
that
you
think
ye
haue
no
such
great
neede
of
repentance
,
neither
are
ye
terrifyed
with
the
threatnings
of
calamities
to
come
,
at
lestwise
consider
what
things
ye
haue
hitherto
suffered
.
For
why
?
you
can
not
deny
,
but
that
euen
before
your
faces
are
cutte
vp
,
and
as
it
were
stricken
out
of
your
handes
,
whatsoeuer
serue
to
your
liuing
and
welfare
.
Neyther
is
penury
alone
entred
into
priuate
houses
,
but
it
hath
inuaded
also
the
Temple
,
wherein
are
to
bee
seene
no
maner
of
printes
at
all
of
the
former
ioy
and
gladnesse
.
There
is
nowe
no
resort
vnto
this
,
as
hath
beene
in
times
past
from
all
places
rounde
about
.
There
are
nowe
no
sacrifices
,
no
holy
dayes
,
no
feastes
,
no
remembrance
of
Gods
olde
and
auncient
benefites
,
to
cheere
your
heartes
withall
,
but
all
thinges
are
full
of
mourning
and
heauines
.
And
can
you
thinke
that
these
thinges
are
come
to
passe
without
a
speciall
cause
?
or
woulde
God
haue
suffered
them
thus
to
bee
,
if
his
wrath
had
not
been
kindled
euen
to
the
vttermost
?
It
appeareth
by
this
,
The
feedes
are
rotten
vnder
the
cloddes
,
whereunto
they
were
committed
.
And
what
hope
then
can
you
haue
of
them
?
But
there
are
some
barnes
you
thinke
still
stored
&
replenished
.
Nay
whatsoeuer
was
laid
vp
in
any
place
,
is
all
together
spoyled
&
destroyed
of
the
enemies
:
yea
&
the
very
barnes
themselues
are
not
onely
robbed
&
spoyled
,
but
also
subuerted
and
ouerthrowen
,
insomuch
that
out
of
them
can
now
nothing
at
al
be
looked
for
.
We
are
●●monishe●
hee
by
the
way
,
what
they
are
like
to
find
,
that
doe
not
vse
the
fruites
and
other
giftes
of
God
,
as
becommeth
them
.
The
Iewes
grieuously
offended
in
this
behalfe
,
as
may
appeare
in
the
Sermons
of
the
Prophets
,
partly
by
intemperancie
in
eating
and
drinking
(
as
wee
saide
of
late
)
and
partly
by
coueteousnes
,
wherthrough
they
hoi●ded
vp
the
fruites
of
the
earth
,
to
the
ende
they
might
sell
them
the
dearer
afterward
,
being
in
the
meane
time
no
whitmoued
with
the
miserie
and
outcries
of
the
hungrie
and
needy
.
It
came
to
passe
therefore
by
the
iust
iudgement
of
God
,
that
both
those
drunkardes
hungred
and
thirsted
,
and
also
the
couetous
were
brought
to
extreeme
need
and
necessitie
,
so
as
they
were
constrained
to
leaue
that
for
a
pray
vnto
the
enemies
,
which
they
coulde
not
finde
in
their
heartes
to
bestowe
vpon
the
poore
.
The
like
examples
we
haue
euery
where
in
histories
,
whereof
this
ought
to
bee
the
vse
vnto
vs
,
that
wee
may
bee
thankefull
vnto
God
,
that
wee
may
moderately
and
soberly
vse
his
giftes
,
but
especially
that
wee
may
endeuour
to
bee
liberall
to
the
poore
,
whome
hee
hath
so
carefully
commended
vnto
vs
,
&c.
Howe
doe
the
beasts
mourne
:
how
do
the
heardes
of
cattell
pine
away
?
because
they
haue
no
pasture
,
yea
and
the
flocks
of
sheepe
are
destroyed
.
The
meaning
is
,
that
such
and
so
great
is
the
force
of
Gods
wrath
,
that
the
sense
thereof
is
come
euen
to
the
bruite
and
sauage
beastes
.
The
beastes
mourne
in
the
woods
for
hunger
.
The
wilde
Harts
bray
for
want
of
waters
.
The
hungerstarued
Oxen
wote
not
which
way
to
turne
them
.
The
sheepe
for
want
of
pasture
are
scattered
abroade
.
And
are
not
you
ashamed
in
the
meane
time
not
to
acknowledge
the
hande
of
Gods
wrath
,
neither
as
yet
mourne
ye
for
your
sins
,
wherebye
you
haue
deserued
this
so
greate
a
miserie
:
But
that
which
the
prophet
vpbraydeth
this
people
withall
,
is
nowe
adayes
too
too
common
and
vsuall
.
And
this
is
a
great
token
of
mans
corruption
.
All
creatures
feele
and
perceiue
the
blessing
of
the
Lorde
,
they
reioyce
in
it
,
and
are
thankefull
vnto
God
their
good
benefactour
,
whilest
they
constantly
execute
and
discharge
their
duties
.
The
same
mourne
and
are
greeued
when
God
is
angrie
.
For
euen
the
bruite
beastes
doe
percetue
Gods
wrath
,
and
bewaile
it
:
the
signes
and
tokens
heereof
appeare
in
all
the
Elements
,
yea
and
this
whole
frame
of
the
world
being
greeued
with
the
weight
of
our
sinnes
and
malediction
,
Let
vs
hee
ashamed
therefore
of
this
vnthriftinesse
,
and
let
vs
bee
inflamed
with
the
studie
of
the
woorde
,
whiche
alone
is
able
to
cure
this
maladie
.
Heerewithall
the
Prophet
nowe
interlaceth
his
owne
example
,
I
will
cry
vnto
thee
O
Lord
,
saith
he
.
As
though
hee
should
say
,
Let
them
do
as
they
list
,
&
if
they
will
,
let
them
with
their
blockishnes
exceed
euen
the
very
bruit
beastes
themselues
,
yet
shall
they
neuer
cause
me
to
fayle
in
my
duetie
.
For
I
will
crye
vnto
the
Lorde
that
hee
may
both
giue
them
a
better
minde
,
and
also
mercifully
remoue
these
calamities
.
And
heere
againe
hee
repeateth
the
selfe
same
causes
,
to
the
intent
he
might
both
stirre
vp
himself
the
more
,
and
also
reproue
them
once
againe
for
their
blockishnesse
.
For
the
fire
hath
consumed
the
pastures
of
the
wildernesse
,
&
the
flame
hath
burnt
vp
all
the
trees
of
the
fielde
.
And
in
these
wordes
,
he
betokeneth
the
rage
of
the
enemies
,
or
rather
the
horrible
vengeance
of
God
,
which
should
shew
foorth
it self
euen
in
wilde
and
desert
places
.
But
we
are
admonished
by
the
example
of
the
prophet
,
that
Bishops
and
Ministers
ought
to
pray
continually
for
the
people
committed
to
their
charge
,
so
long
as
they
be
not
forbid●en
by
the
expresse
commandement
of
God
,
as
once
Ieremie
was
.

.
not
withstanding
that
the
Lorde
had
saide
vnto
him
.
They
haue
not
reiected
thee
,
but
me
,
because
I
should
not
raigne
ouer
them
.
And
the
Apostle
Paule
prayed
for
the
Iewes
day
and
night
,
Why
shoulde
not
I
crie
,
when
as
the
very
beastes
are
inforced
to
crie
,
from
whome
this
destruction
haue
taken
away
not
onely
the
pastures
,
but
also
the
riuers
and
fountaines
of
wateres
:
The
bruite
beasts
are
saide
to
crye
vnto
GOD
when
as
by
their
braying
or
roaring
they
testifie
that
they
haue
neede
of
Gods
prouidence
.
So
doe
the
young
Rauens
forsaken
of
their
dammes
crie
vnto
the
Lord
for
help
,
And
this
consideration
of
Gods
proiudence
is
very
full
of
comfort
,
whiche
extendeth
it selfe
euen
vnto
beastes
,
and
withal
it
reproueth
the
detestable
distrustfulnesse
of
men
,
who
refuse
,
to
depende
upon
God
,
though
his
fatherly
care
towardes
vs
doe
on
euery
side
appeare
.
Let
these
thinges
therefore
serue
for
our
instruction
also
as
touching
the
matter
of
repentance
,
whereof
is
presently
entreated
.
And
albeit
wee
see
due
plagues
for
our
sinnes
hanging
ouer
vs
alreadie
,
yet
let
vs
not
despaire
of
Gods
goodnes
,
but
turne
vnto
him
with
our
whole
harts
.
For
hee
that
heareth
the
voyces
of
Rauens
crying
vnto
him
,
and
the
waylinges
of
hungrie
beastes
,
cannot
neglect
vs
vnto
whome
hee
hath
giuen
free
accesse
to
the
throne
of
his
grace
by
our
Lorde
Iesus
Christe

to
whome
bee

The

1
BLowe
the
trumpet
in
Zion
,
and
shout
in
my
holy
mountaine
:
let
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
lande
tremble
:
for
the
day
of
the
Lorde
is
come
,
for
it
is
at
hand
.
2
A
day
of
darknesse
,
and
of
blackenesse
,
a
day
of
cloudes
and
obscuritie
,
as
the
morning
spreade
vpon
the
mountaines
,
so
is
there
a
great
people
,
&
mightie
:
the
like
where
of
was
not
from
the
beginning
,
neither
shal
be
after
it
,
vnto
the
yeeres
of
many
generations
.
3
Before
his
face
is
a
deuouring
fire
,
&
behind
him
the
flame
shall
burne
vp
:
the
lande
is
as
the
garden
of
Eden
before
him
,
and
behinde
him
a
desolate
wildernesse
,
so
that
nothing
shall
eseape
him
.
4
The
beholding
of
him
is
like
the
sight
of
horses
,
and
like
the
horsemen
,
so
shall
they
runne
.
5
Like
the
noyse
of
charrets
in
the
cops
of
the
mountaines
shall
they
leape
,
like
the
noyse
of
a
flame
of
fire
that
deuoureth
the
stubble
,
&
as
a
mightie
people
prepared
to
the
battell
.
6
Before
his
face
shall
the
people
tremble
:
all
faces
shall
gather
blacknes
.
7
They
shall
runne
like
gyants
or
strong
men
,
and
goe
vp
to
the
wall
like
men
of
warre
,
and
euery
man
shall
goe
forwarde
in
his
wayes
,
and
shall
not
stay
in
their
pathes
.
8
No
man
shall
thrust
his
brother
,
but
euery
one
shal
walke
in
his
path
:
and
when
they
fall
vpon
the
sworde
,
they
shall
not
be
wounded
.
9
They
shall
runne
to
and
fro
in
the
citie
,
they
shall
runne
vppon
the
wall
,
they
shall
clime
vp
vppon
the
houses
,
and
enter
in
at
the
windowes
like
a
theefe
.
10
The
earth
shall
tremble
before
him
,
the
heauens
shall
shake
,
the
Sunne
and
the
Moone
shall
be
darke
,
and
the
Starres
shall
withdrawe
their
shining
.
11
And
the
Lorde
shall
vtter
his
voyce
before
his
host
:
for
his
armie
is
very
great
,
for
hee
is
strong
that
doeth
his
woorke
:
for
the
day
of
the
Lorde
is
great
and
very
terrible
,
and
who
can

Sermon
5.
Blow
the
trumpet
in
Sion
,
and
shout
in
my
holy
mountayne
.
Hee
maketh
mention
of
Sion
and
of
the
holy
hill
or
Temple
,
partlye
leaste
they
shoulde
thinke
themselues
to
hee
safe
for
the
holynesse
of
the
place
,
and
partly
that
they
might
vnderstand
this
thing
especiallye
to
bee
enioyned
to
the.
Prophetes
,
whome
GOD
had
appointed
watchmen
to
his
people
:
Let
all
the
inhabitantes
of
the
lande
tremble
.
Hee
nameth
all
,
leaste
anye
shoulde
thinke
him selfe
to
bee
without
faulte
.
And
he
biddeth
them
tremble
,
to
the
end
they
might
perceiue
God
to
deale
in
good
earnest
,
and
therefore
that
they
also
must
not
dally
.
Whereunto
serueth
the
cause
which
he
by
and
by
addeth
:
For
the
day
of
the
Lord
commeth
,
that
is
,
the
time
is
at
hand
,
which
God
hath
nowe
long
since
appointed
for
vengeance
,
which
euen
now
also
waiteth
at
your
dores
.
Heere
commeth
the
goodnes
of
God
to
be
noted
of
vs
,
who
like
a
kinde
father
first
dealeth
in
woordes
,
it
is
at
hande
.
For
by
that
threatning
he
putteth
them
in
hope
,
that
they
may
as
yet
escape
the
punishmentes
nowe
ready
to
light
vpon
them
,
if
they
will
applye
them selues
vnto
GOD
giuing
them
warning
.
These
thinges
were
of
vs
to
be
considered
,
O
Brethren
,
when
as
turmoylinges
and
dangers
doe
euery
where
arise
.
And
GOD
truly
for
his
parte
executeth
his
office
,
neither
want
there
faythfull
watchmen
by
him
raysed
vp
,
whiche
reprooue
sinne
and
denounce
the
plagues
hanging
ouer
vs
.
But
in
the
meane
time
there
want
not
such
as
are
negligent
also
,
Nowe
followeth
a
description
of
the
vengeance
which
hee
first
propoundeth
in
generall
,
A
day
of
darkenes
and
blackenes
,
a
day
of
Cloudes
and
obscuritie
.
By
darkenesse
and
blackenes
are
vnderstood
inextricable
troubles
and
calamities
,
which
cause
men
to
be
vncertaine
what
to
doe
,
and
euen
at
their
wittes
end
.
Hee
threatneth
therefore
that
this
also
shall
happen
vnto
them
:
and
addeth
.
As
the
morning
is
spred
vpon
the
mountaines
.
By
which
similitude
is
betokened
the
vnauoydable
necessitie
and
celeritie
of
an
incredible
vengeance
:
and
the
sense
is
this
.
That
like
as
no
man
can
forbid
the
morning
,
but
that
she
will
rise
,
and
stretche
forth
her
rosecoulered
fingers
(
as
the
Greeke
Poets
vse
to
speake
)
sodenly
to
the
very
toppes
of
the
mountaines
,
and
from
thence
with
wonderfull
swiftnesse
throughout
the
whole
earth
:
so
shall
no
man
let
God
,
but
that
he
will
stretch
his
wreakefull
hand
vnto
you
,
whereby
hee
will
sooner
then
can
be
told
afflict
and
destroy
all
your
whole
land
.
For
there
shal
come
(
namely
,
conducted
by
the
Lord
)
a
mighty
&
strong
people
,
the
like
wherof
was
neuer
seene
in
the
world
before
,
neither
shall
be
hereafter
.
He
meaneth
the
Assyrians
,
who
in
continuance
of
gouernement
,
in
victories
and
puissance
farre
surmounted
all
peoples
beside
.
For
their
kingdome
began
in
the
hundreth
and
one
and
thirtith
yeere
after
the
floode
,
the
Assyrians
)
shoulde
doe
:
where
it
is
not
needefull
to
stande
vppon
the
woordes
,
sith
they
are
plaine
and
euident
of
themselues
,
but
rather
the
matter
it selfe
is
to
bee
considered
.
For
the
ende
and
scope
of
all
,
is
this
,
namely
,
that
he
will
shewe
,
that
nothing
can
possiblye
let
,
but
that
Gods
vengeance
shall
proceede
,
and
therefore
hee
taketh
from
them
all
thinges
,
wherein
they
might
put
any
hope
or
confidence
.
The
chiefe
among
these
were
,
the
fertilitie
and
plenteousnesse
of
the
Lande
,
the
greate
distance
of
places
betweene
Iudea
and
the
countries
of
the
Assyrians
,
the
harde
passages
throughe
the
mountaines
,
a
huge
number
of
strong
and
valiant
men
,
together
with
moste
strong
townes
and
fortifications
,
whiche
seemed
to
be
such
as
might
easily
stoppe
the
comming
of
the
enemies
.
But
hee
telleth
them
that
none
of
all
these
thinges
shall
profit
them
.
For
first
of
all
the
Assyrians
shall
come
like
a
fire
,
and
shall
so
hideouslye
waste
and
destroye
all
thinges
,
that
the
Lande
whiche
nowe
florisheth
as
a
Paradise
,
shall
after
theyr
departure
become
like
vnto
a
huge
and
desolate
wil●ernesse
.
Secondly
,
they
shall
come
verye
cruell
and
swift
,
and
shall
euen
runne
through
the
toppes
of
the
Mountaynes
,
where
there
seemed
to
bee
scarce
any
place
for
Horsemen
to
passe
.
Yea
,
and
looke
howe
soone
the
fire
catcheth
and
deuoureth
the
stubble
,
euen
so
soone
shall
they
ouer
runne
the
whole
lande
.
Thirdlye
,
as
touching
men
of
warre
,
all
your
warriours
surdaunted
onely
with
the
fame
and
report
of
their
enemies
,
shall
feare
and
tremble
,
and
shall
with
the
palenesse
of
their
faces
testifie
that
they
are
afrayde
:
on
the
other
side
your
enemies
shall
runne
hither
and
thither
like
Gyants
,
they
shall
scale
the
walles
,
they
shall
keepe
their
order
with
wonderfull
diligence
so
as
none
shall
bee
a
let
vnto
another
:
Moreouer
setting
a
parte
the
feare
of
death
they
shall
rushe
euen
into
the
middest
of
the
swoordes
,
and
yet
shall
not
bee
wounded
.
Fourthly
,
albeit
strong
Cities
bee
set
against
them
,
yet
shall
they
sodenly
passe
through
them
,
euen
as
through
the
open
fieldes
,
and
hauing
broken
vp
the
gates
or
battered
downe
the
walles
,
they
shall
enter
in
at
the
very
windowes
.
Finally
so
great
shal
be
the
rage
and
astonishment
of
your
people
,
that
the
earth
it selfe
shall
tremble
,
the
heauens
shall
mooue
,
the
Sunne
and
Moone
shall
be
darkened
,
and
the
Starres
shall
withdrawe
their
light
.
And
in
these
woordes
his
meaning
is
nothing
else
,
them
that
in
euery
part
of
the
worlde
shall
appeare
tokens
of
Gods
wrath
,
and
nothing
shall
bee
any
safegarde
vnto
them
.
That
these
thinges
were
fulfilled
,
wee
may
gather
by
the
historie
,
especially
out
of
Esay
chap.
10.
Where
it
is
declared
what
way
Sennacharib
came
to
Hierusalem
.
And
so
GOD
perfourmed
in
deede
,
that
which
hee
had
threatned
before
in
the
Law
,
to
the
wicked
transgressours
of
his
commandementes
.
In
the
consideration
heereof
we
haue
so
to
bee
occupied
,
that
wee
bee
not
carried
awaye
with
the
confidence
of
our
owne
strength
or
munitions
,
to
rebell
agaynst
the
Lorde
.
For
to
let
passe
all
olde
examples
,
wee
haue
in
our
time
seene
manye
of
this
forte
,
whiche
maye
teache
vs
howe
vayne
the
Fortes
and
Defences
are
,
that
men
doe
prouide
against
GOD
&c.
Furthermore
least
any
should
attribute
these
thinges
to
the
power
or
rage
of
the
enemies
,
hee
teacheth
expressely
,
that
God
shall
bee
the
Captayne
of
this
Warre
.
The
Lorde
shall
vtter
his
voyce
before
his
hoaste
.
That
is
,
all
thinges
shall
come
to
passe
by
his
conducte
and
assignemente
,
hee
shall
encourage
the
Assyrians
,
but
shall
terryfie
you
,
as
I
sayde
euen
nowe
.
For
Gods
armye
is
exceeding
greate
,
and
hee
that
executeth
his
commaundement
(
namely
the
Assyrian
)
is
strong
:
Terrible
therefore
and
greate
shall
that
day
bee
,
so
as
none
shall
Bee
able
to
abyde
it
.
Wee
haue
heere
to
obserue
and
marke
that
hee
calleth
expressely
the
Hoast
,
and
Camp
of
the
Assyrians
Gods
hoast
and
Campe
,
and
hee
acknowledgeth
the
Tyrant
Sennacharib
to
bee
the
executioner
of
his
woorde
and
commaundement
.
Therefore
GOD
vseth
also
the
ayde
of
the
wicked
whylest
hee
will
execute
his
iudgementes
.
And
yet
for
all
that
are
not
the
wicked
excused
whilest
they
destroy
Cities
and
Townes
,
and
make
hauocke
of
all
with
fire
and
swoorde
.
For
by
their
owne
proper
malice
they
are
carried
vnto
mischiefe
,
and
the
ambition
,
or
couetousnesse
,
or
wrath
,
or
crueltie
that
dritteth
them
forwarde
,
is
of
their
owne
growing
,
neither
is
GOD
to
bee
charged
with
it
.
But
GOD
by
his
wisedome
and
iustice
vseth
theyr
euill
and
malice
to
a
good
ende
and
purpose
,
to
the
intent
he
might
eyther
exercise
the
fayth
of
his
chosen
,
or
bee
auenged
on
the
wicked
and
vugodlye
.
In
these
thinges
shyneth
foorth
his
prouidence
,
which
serueth
greatly
both
for
our
instruction
and
consolation
.
For
it
teacheth
that
no
euils
or
calamities
doe
happen
vnto
vs
without
his
counsel
and
determination
,
whose
iudgementes
are
Iustice
and
Trueth
:
and
therefore
that
wee
must
not
holde
plea
agaynst
him
.
Agayne
it
is
for
our
comforte
that
wee
knowe
him
to
bee
faythfull
,
who
will
not
suffer
his
Children
to
bee
tempted
aboue
theyr
strength
,
Let
vs
acknowledge
therfore
his
prouidence
,
which
extendeth
it selfe
euen
vnto
Sparowes
and
the
heyres
of
our
heade
.

a
drinke
offring
vnto
the
Lord
your
God
:
The
assyrian
warre
.
The
ende
of
this
declaration
was
,
to
rouze
by
the
secure
and
careles
,
to
the
intent
they
might
see
repentance
to
be
necessarie
for
them
,
and
therefore
prepare
themselues
vnto
it
.
Hee
addeth
therefore
now
the
second
part
,
wherein
hee
entreateth
of
true
repentance
,
and
first
verily
he
teacheth
in
this
present
place
,
what
euery
one
ought
priuately
to
doe
,
intending
afterwarde
also
to
speake
of
those
thinges
,
that
serue
to
publike
and
solemne
repentance
.
But
wee
haue
first
and
formost
especially
to
obserue
,
that
hee
expresly
testifieth
that
these
things
were
prescribed
vnto
them
of
the
Lorde
himselfe
.
For
thereby
wee
may
gather
,
that
a
perpetuall
rule
is
giuen
vnto
vs
,
which
ought
to
bee
obserued
in
all
ages
,
and
which
is
the
onely
&
sole
way
,
wherby
God
may
be
pacified
,
and
the
punishments
at
hande
auerted
and
turned
away
.
It
shall
bee
expedient
therefore
diligently
to
consider
of
euery
point
.
Hee
beginneth
with
a
noting
of
the
time
,
Therefore
euen
now
also
saith
the
Lord
.
These
words
haue
a
certaine
Emphasis
or
force
in
them
,
which
may
easily
appeare
,
if
wee
consider
the
thinges
,
that
went
before
.
For
hee
hath
described
the
horrible
vengeance
of
God
,
which
no
man
was
able
to
abide
.
And
nowe
thereunto
he
adioyneth
these
words
,
as
though
hee
shoulde
say
:
I
woulde
not
haue
these
thinges
so
to
bee
taken
,
as
though
there
were
no
hope
of
grace
left
.
For
albeit
yee
deserue
vtterly
to
bee
destroyed
&
rooted
out
,
&
god
hath
decreed
no
common
plague
against
you
,
yet
is
this
his
decree
conditionall
:
insomuch
that
if
you
wil
euen
nowe
,
whilest
your
matters
stande
as
it
were
vpon
the
rasers
edge
,
turne
and
conuert
vnto
him
,
hee
will
graciously
and
louingly
receiue
you
into
fauour
.
Haue
I
any
desire
that
the
wicked
should
die
?
and
not
rather
that
hee
should
turne
from
his
euill
wayes
,
and
liue
?
Againe
:
If
your
sinnes
were
as
Crimsyn
,
yet
shall
they
be
whiter
then
snow
:
if
they
were
as
red
as
skarlet
,
yet
shal
they
be
as
white
as
woll
.
And
Iohn
saith
:
If
wee
acknowledge
our
sinnes
,
hee
is
faithfull
and
iust
,
to
forgiue
vs
our
sinnes
,
&c.
But
with
infinit
examples
are
these
promises
confirmed
,
among
which
that
ought
not
to
be
lest
accounted
off
,
which
is
here
set
downe
.
For
when
the
Iewes
imbraced
the
counsell
of
the
prophete
,
by
and
by
the
Lord
was
their
helper
,
and
by
his
Angel
smote
the
Assyrians
with
a
mightie
slaughter
.
Magdalen
,
Zacheus
,
the
Thiefe
crucified
with
Christ
,
and
many
other
moe
felt
and
tasted
off
.
Of
all
whiche
this
ought
to
be
the
vse
vnto
vs
,
that
they
may
serue
for
our
comfort
against
the
terrors
and
temptations
of
conscience
,
wherewith
Satan
is
wont
to
weaken
our
fayth
:
for
euery
one
ought
to
applye
this
vnto
him selfe
,
and
to
say
with
himselfe
:
Yea
euen
very
nowe
turne
vnto
the
Lorde
,
and
let
not
the
remembrance
of
thy
life
past
dismay
thee
:
but
the
more
heynous
that
it
hath
been
,
so
much
the
more
earnest
let
thy
conuersion
bee
,
and
thou
shalt
straight-wayes
perceyue
Gods
eares
to
bee
open
to
thy
prayers
,
&c.
vnto
mee
with
all
your
heart
,
with
fasting
,
weeping
and
mourning
:
and
rent
your
heart
,
and
not
your
garmentes
,
&c.
He
comprehendeth
in
these
woordes
all
,
that
may
bee
spoken
of
repentance
,
which
we
haue
oftentimes
saide
,
to
bee
properly
a
turning
or
conuersion
vnto
God
.
But
to
the
intent
the
maner
of
this
conuersion
may
the
more
plainely
appeare
,
foure
things
in
order
are
to
be
considered
of
vs
.
Euen
vnto
me
,
saith
he
.
Our
turning
therfore
,
must
be
vnto
god
,
&
truly
vnto
God
alone
,
because
he
only
is
the
truth
&
fountaine
of
all
goodnes
.
But
we
must
beware
,
that
wee
goe
streight
vnto
him
,
and
not
ceasse
before
wee
haue
layde
hold
of
him
.
And
this
must
bee
done
by
faith
,
seeing
God
,
which
is
a
spirit
,
can
no
other
way
bee
apprehended
or
taken
holde
off
.
They
then
doe
erre
first
,
which
turne
not
vnto
God
,
but
vnto
creatures
,
or
to
the
inuentions
of
men
,
or
to
their
owne
merites
.
Secondly
,
which
beginne
in
deede
to
turne
,
but
stay
in
the
middest
of
their
course
,
before
they
come
to
the
mark
prefixed
vnto
them
.
No
man
that
putteth
his
hande
to
the
plough
,
&
looketh
backe
,
is
fit
for
the
kingdome
of
God
.
Luke
9.
The
same
is
onely
and
alone
Christ
Iesus
,
the
sonne
of
God
the
father
,
coeternall
and
consubstantiall
with
him
,
who
in
the
time
appointed
was
of
the
virgin
Mary
made
man
,
to
the
end
he
might
become
a
mediator
betweene
God
and
vs
,
and
pacifie
his
wrath
.
Of
him
the
father
himselfe
witnesseth
from
heauen
:
This
is
my
deerely
beloued
sonne
in
whom
I
am
well
pleased
.
And
he
himselfe
in
the
gospel
crieth
out
:
I
am
the
way
,
the
truth
,
and
the
life
:
no
man
commeth
to
the
father
,
but
by
mee
.
For
he
alone
by
the
sacrifice
of
his
body
and
blood
,
purgeth
&
purifieth
our
sinnes
,
without
mee
(
saith
hee
)
yee
can
doe
nothing
.
-
And
first
hee
woulde
haue
vs
to
turne
vnto
God
with
our
whole
heart
.
By
mentioning
of
the
heart
,
hee
excludeth
hypocrisie
,
-
Secondly
,
he
requireth
the
sincere
studie
of
godlinesse
and
true
religion
,
and
that
,
to
the
ende
the
forsaking
all
things
which
are
repugnant
vnto
God
,
wee
may
consecrate
vnto
him
our
heartes
and
al
the
powers
both
of
our
mind
and
body
,
according
to
that
which
is
saide
in
the
Lawe
:
Thou
shalt
loue
the
Lorde
thy
God
with
all
thy
heart
,
and
with
all
thy
soule
,
and
with
all
thy
strength
.
There
is
nothing
therefore
left
vnto
vs
heere
,
which
wee
may
giue
vnto
the
worlde
,
or
to
the
desires
of
the
flesh
.
For
inasmuche
as
the
hearte
is
the
fountaine
and
welspring
of
all
actions
,
they
doe
liue
vnto
GOD
alone
as
many
as
are
turned
vnto
him
with
their
whole
hearte
.
Neither
doe
they
yet
truely
repent
,
which
halting
on
both
sides
,
one
while
obey
God
,
and
another
while
thinke
it
lawfull
for
them
,
to
set
him
aside
and
to
serue
the
worlde
and
the
fleshe
.
But
forsomuch
as
wee
are
heere
letted
and
hindred
by
the
pride
and
naturall
corruptions
of
the
fleshe
,
hee
inioyneth
fasting
,
whereby
hee
meaneth
not
a
superstitious
abstinence
,
or
difference
of
meates
,
but
a
discipline
of
the
fleshe
,
wherethrough
the
nourishmentes
of
lust
and
pride
or
stubbornenesse
are
withdrawen
,
as
wee
saide
before
.
Hee
addeth
vnto
this
weeping
and
lamenting
or
mourning
,
which
conteine
an
outwarde
profession
of
repentance
,
whereof
wee
haue
neede
,
partly
,
that
wee
may
testifie
Gods
righteousnesse
,
whilest
wee
confesse
by
this
meanes
that
wee
haue
deserued
punishment
:
and
partly
that
wee
may
remedy
the
offence
,
which
is
publikely
giuen
to
the
weake
.
This
did
Dauid
perceiue
,
who
not
contented
to
haue
bewayled
his
sins
priuately
,
would
publikely
also
in
Psalmes
testifie
his
griefe
and
heauinesse
,
And
rent
your
hearte
,
and
not
your
garments
,
and
turne
to
the
Lord
your
God
.
For
they
of
the
East
countrie
were
wont
to
teare
their
garments
,
if
any
thing
had
happened
vnto
them
,
which
seemed
to
bee
intollerable
.
But
the
hypocrites
abused
that
gesture
as
though
the
whole
order
of
repentance
had
consisted
therein
.
Hee
auoucheth
therefore
that
there
is
a
farre
other
matter
required
:
namely
that
they
should
he
broken
in
their
hearts
,
and
vnfeignedly
detest
their
sinnes
,
and
so
vtterly
retecting
them
returne
vnto
God
,
from
whome
before
they
were
departed
.
For
why
:
God
is
not
delighted
with
outwarde
ceremonies
,
but
(
as
wee
saide
in
the
beginning
)
hee
requireth
the
heart
,
and
the
same
contrite
and
humbled
hee
doth
not
despise
,
as
Dauid
admonisheth
.
For
hee
is
gracious
and
mercifull
,
slowe
to
anger
,
and
of
great
goodnes
,
&
repenteth
him
of
the
euill
.
-
First
.
hee
calleth
him
gracious
or
fauourable
,
as
hee
that
by
nature
is
prone
and
ready
to
doe
good
rather
then
to
punish
.
-
Secondly
,
hee
attributeth
vnto
him
mercy
,
or
rather
(
if
you
consider
the
Hebrwe
word
)
the
bowels
of
mercyes
,
wherby
are
signified
the
naturall
affections
of
parents
towardes
their
children
.
This
Dauid
declareth
in
the
Psalmes
,
saying
:
As
a
father
pitieth
his
children
,
so
doth
the
Lorde
Pitie
them
that
feare
him
.
For
he
knoweth
whereof
we
bee
made
,
hee
remembreth
that
wee
are
but
dust
,
&c.
-
Thirdly
,
hee
sayth
that
hee
is
slowe
to
anger
,
that
is
to
say
,
long
suffering
,
and
one
that
is
not
lightly
prouoked
.
-
Fourthly
,
of
great
goodnesse
or
bountifulnesse
.
For
hee
is
the
bottomelesse
fountaine
of
all
goodnesse
,
who
is
delighted
to
doe
good
vnto
vs
,
sith
for
this
cause
especially
hee
created
men
,
that
hee
might
haue
some
,
whom
to
make
partakers
of
his
benefits
.
-
Fiftly
,
and
it
repenteth
him
of
the
euil
:
that
is
to
say
,
hee
reuoketh
the
sentence
of
punishment
alreadie
pronounced
,
when
he
seeth
them
to
bee
amended
and
conuerted
,
vpon
whom
hee
meant
to
execute
the
same
.
Examples
heereof
are
euerye
where
extant
.
For
hitherto
belongeth
the
whole
historie
of
the
Israelites
,
if
wee
consider
what
was
done
with
them
in
the
desert
,
and
afterwarde
vnder
their
Iudges
and
Kinges
.
To
these
are
added
the
priuate
examples
of
Dauid
,
Peter
,
and
others
,
whome
wee
reade
to
haue
beene
conuerted
from
many
folde
and
most
grèeuous
sinnes
,
and
to
haue
returned
into
fauour
with
God
againe
.
Let
these
things
serue
to
comfort
vs
,
least
wee
rashly
despayre
of
Gods
goodnesse
.
For
sith
hee
suffereth
with
much
lenitie
the
vessels
of
wrath
(
as
Paule
sayeth
)
hee
will
muche
more
pardon
their
infirmities
,
who
knoweth
(
sayth
hee
)
whether
he
will
turne
and
repent
,
and
leaue
behinde
him
a
blessing
,
euen
a
meate
offering
and
drinke
offering
to
the
Lorde
your
God
:
Which
wordes
are
not
so
to
bee
taken
,
as
though
they
proceeded
from
one
doubting
of
Gods
grace
and
the
remission
of
sinnes
,
which
we
with
constant
faith
must
beleeue
:
but
first
they
resemble
the
nature
and
disposition
of
faith
,
which
although
it
sticketh
with
vndoubted
trust
to
the
promises
of
God
,
yet
is
it
modest
,
and
not
malapert
or
importunate
,
neither
doth
it
rashly
presume
vpon
God
.
Secondly
they
ought
to
bee
expounded
rather
of
the
punishment
then
of
the
remission
of
sinne
.
For
albeit
wee
bee
sure
and
certaine
of
this
,
neither
in
deede
is
it
lawefull
to
doubt
:
yet
is
there
an
other
consideration
to
bee
had
of
the
punishments
,
which
God
sendeth
in
the
way
of
chastisemente
,
neyther
doth
hee
take
them
away
before
,
that
hee
seeth
vs
to
bee
amended
,
and
the
pride
of
our
fleshe
to
bee
crushed
and
broken
.
But
heere
is
the
obedience
of
faith
needefull
,
which
both
patiently
submitteth
it selfe
to
Gods
will
,
and
euen
then
also
hopeth
well
of
his
mercy
,
when
the
tokens
of
his
wrath
seeme
still
to
appeare
.
And
that
hytherto
also
these
thinges
ought
to
bee
referred
,
it
appeareth
by
the
wordes
following
,
wherein
he
saith
:
And
leaue
behinde
him
a
blessing
,
that
is
to
say
,
giue
a
plentifull
increase
of
the
earth
,
so
as
wee
may
againe
celebrate
his
Sacrifices
,
which
for
want
and
necessitie
haue
for
a
time
ceased
.
Where
againe
appeareth
the
nature
of
faith
,
which
that
it
is
chiefly
carefull
of
Gods
worship
we
haue
often
sayde
alreadie
.
For
they
craue
the
fruites
of
the
earth
,
not
to
guzzle
,
and
glutte
themselues
,
or
to
pamper
theyr
bodies
with
the
pleasures
of
the
fleshe
:
but
to
the
ende
they
might
serue
God
and
yeelde
vnto
him
his
due
worship
.
They
are
therfore
a
great
way
off
from
the
nature
and
propertie
of
faith
,
who
,
so
they
may
abound
in
delight
is
and
ydlenes
,
doe
seldome
or
neuer
bethinke
themselues
,
eyther
of
the
conseruation
or
instauration
of
Gods
worship
and
glory
.
It
shall
bee
our
parts
to
acknowledge
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
and
forsaking
our
sinnes
and
errours
to
turne
vnto
him
by
fayth
in
Christ
,
who
,
both
giueth
vs
repentance
,
and
also
pardon
and
forgiuenes
of
sinnes
.
To
him
bee
giuen
blessing
,
honour
,
glory
,
and
dominion
for
euer
and
euer
.
Amen
.
Sermon

BLowe

16
Gather
the
people
,
sanctifie
the
congregation
,
gather
the
elders
,
assemble
she
children
and
those
that
sucke
the
brestes
:
let
the

foorth
of

and
the

.
17
Let
the
priestes
,
the
ministers
of
the
Lorde
weepe
betweene
the
porch
and
the
altar
,
and
let
them
say
:
Spare
thy
people
O
Lord
,
and
giue
not
thine
heritage
to
reproch
,
that
the
heathen
should
rule
ouer
them
.
Wherefore
should
they
say
among
the
people
,
where
is
their
God
:
Blow
the
trumpet
in
Sion
,
sanctifie
a
fast
,
&c.
For
this
place
must
bee
vnderstoode
of
the
holy
trumpets
,
by
the
sounde
whereof
the
feastfull
dayes
were
proclaimed
,
and
the
holy
assemblies
gathered
together
as
Moses
had
commanded
by
Gods
ordinance
.
Iosaphat
,
Ezechias
,
and
Iosias
followed
,
who
were
not
onely
carefull
as
touching
the
outwarde
worship
,
but
also
prouided
,
that
publike
repentance
shoulde
of
all
men
bee
imbraced
and
taken
in
hand
,
if
at
any
time
they
perceiued
Gods
wrath
to
bee
kindled
.
Yea
,
and
the
Scripture
for
this
cause
commendeth
the
king
of
Niniue
,
sanctify
a
fast
.
Wee
haue
spoken
of
this
in
the
first
chapter
.
Secondly
,
Call
a
solemne
assemblie
,
Christ
Iesus
,
who
is
made
vnto
vs
of
God
holynesse
and
sanctification
.
This
except
we
doe
,
neyther
shall
we
heare
Gods
worde
with
any
fruite
,
This
people
draweth
neere
vnto
mee
with
their
mouthes
,
and
honoureth
mee
with
their
lippes
,
but
their
heartes
are
farre
from
mee
.
&c.
But
what
shall
wee
say
of
the
assemblies
of
our
time
,
suche
as
are
gathered
together
in
the
dedications
of
Churches
and
in
very
many
feastes
of
the
Christians
,
where
a
men
shall
see
nothing
but
riot
and
superfluitie
,
and
an
vnbrideled
libertie
of
drinking
,
dauncing
,
playing
and
reuelling
:
They
sanctifie
their
assemblies
,
not
vnto
God
,
but
vnto
Bacchus
and
Venus
,
and
shall
one
day
bee
punished
of
God
,
whose
name
they
so
shamefully
and
and
impudently
abuse
.
Thirdly
hee
sayth
:
Let
the
Bridegrome
goe
foorth
of
his
chamber
,
and
the
Bride
out
of
her
closette
.
By
whiche
woordes
he
proclaimeth
a
publike
mourning
,
and
commaundeth
them
to
abstaine
euen
from
lawfull
delightes
.
For
vnder
the
name
of
marriage
and
the
companye
betweene
man
and
wife
,
hee
comprehendeth
all
other
thinges
of
like
sorte
,
the
vse
wherof
is
otherwise
lawfull
.
But
because
in
the
time
of
peace
wee
doe
commonly
abuse
our
lawfull
and
honest
pleasures
,
it
is
conuenient
,
that
we
afterwarde
abstaine
from
the
same
,
and
euen
by
this
meanes
punishe
the
wantonnesse
of
our
fleshe
.
Christ
Iesus
.
Further
seeing
the
corruption
of
our
nature
is
such
,
that
the
things
which
are
lawfull
doe
withdrawe
vs
from
the
exercises
of
fayth
and
prayer
,
euen
for
this
cause
ought
the
same
to
bee
intermitted
,
that
wee
may
the
more
feruently
bee
occupied
in
those
thinges
,
that
concerne
Gods
glory
and
our
●wne
saluation
.
Fourthly
,
hee
instituteth
publike
prayers
,
Let
the
Priestes
(
sayeth
hee
)
weepe
betweene
the
porch
and
the
altar
.
&c.
The
porche
was
the
place
of
the
people
,
and
the
altar
resembled
the
presence
of
God
himselfe
,
vnto
whom
there
the
sacrifices
were
offred
:
and
that
the
Priestes
bare
the
person
of
Christ
,
it
is
better
knowne
out
of
the
Epistle
to
the
Hebrues
,
Now
he
prescribeth
the
prayer
in
this
sort
:
Spare
thy
people
,
O
Lord
,
and
giue
not
thine
heritage
to
reproche
.
&c.
The
petition
is
briefe
:
Spare
(
say
they
)
thy
people
.
These
wordes
haue
in
them
a
confession
of
sinne
,
and
with
all
they
shew
that
all
hope
of
saluation
is
to
be
sought
onely
in
Gods
mercy
.
As
though
he
should
say
:
We
haue
sinned
,
O
Lorde
,
and
are
vtterly
vnworthy
of
any
better
successe
:
but
spare
vs
we
beseech
thee
,
and
enter
not
into
iudgement
with
vs
.
&c.
Vnto
these
wordes
they
adioyne
reasons
,
and
the
first
they
draw
and
alleadge
from
their
owne
person
,
whilest
they
cal
themselues
Gods
people
,
and
adde
:
Neither
giue
thine
heritage
into
reproch
,
for
the
sense
is
this
,
whatsoeuer
we
be
,
we
are
thy
people
,
thine
inheritance
,
thy
chosen
,
but
who
I
pray
thee
will
suffer
his
inheritance
to
perish
,
if
hee
may
saue
it
:
And
thus
he
sendeth
them
to
the
free
couenant
of
god
,
who
had
made
them
his
peculiar
people
.
The
other
reason
they
fetch
from
the
person
of
god
,
whose
glory
they
say
should
be
called
into
question
:
why
shal
they
say
among
the
people
,
where
is
their
god
?
for
as
the
vngodly
acknowledge
no
God
at
all
,
but
visible
:
So
are
they
wont
to
iudge
of
the
true
God
and
of
his
worship
onely
according
to
the
present
successe
.
Assoone
therefore
as
they
see
the
professours
of
the
true
fayth
and
religion
to
bee
in
danger
,
by
and
by
they
cast
them
in
the
teeth
with
their
fayth
and
worship
of
the
true
God
:
as
in
these
daies
,
alas
for
sorrow
,
is
euery
where
to
bee
seene
.
But
wee
are
taught
in
this
place
,
how
prayers
as
well
publike
as
priuate
ought
to
bee
ordered
,
And
as
the
Prophete
calleth
these
folke
still
the
people
and
inheritance
of
God
,
notwithstanding
that
they
were
presently
to
bee
punished
for
their
sinnes
:
euen
so
at
this
day
the
Lorde
doth
not
by
and
by
reiect
his
Churche
,
although
some
spottes
and
infirmities
doe
cleaue
vnto
it
,
〈◊〉
that
shee
hold-fast
the
seede
of
faith
,
and
be
desirous
to
bee
reconciled
with
him
.
But
especially
wee
must
bee
carefull
to
promote
gods
glory
,
which
ought
to
bee
more
heere
vnto
vs
,
then
our
owne
proper
welfare
and
saluation
.
For
this
thing
doth
the
order
of
the
Ten
commaudementes
,
and
the
course
of
the
Lords
prayer
teach
vs
,
&
euen
the
common
sense
and
experience
of
nature
,
which
causeth
children
to
be
vigilant
and
carefull
for
the
fame
and
honour
of
their
parents
.
This
thing
saw
Moses
,
Not
vnto
vs
,
O
Lord
,
not
vnto
vs
,
but
to
thy
name
giue
the
glory
,
&c.
Most
detestable
therefore
is
their
sinne
and
iniquitie
,
who
when
they
are
not
ignorant
how
Gods
glory
is
blasphemed
of
the
wicked
by
reason
of
their
enormities
and
most
corrupt
maners
,
yet
can
by
no
meanes
bee
brought
,
to
consider
of
the
amendment
of
them
.
Moreouer
it
is
full
of
comfort
,
in
that
wee
see
our
saluation
coupled
with
Gods
glory
.
For
in
as
much
as
God
is
a
ielous
God
,
hee
will
not
suffer
the
glorye
of
his
name
to
fall
to
the
grounde
,
and
therefore
his
chozen
,
in
whom
the
same
is
in
hazarde
,
hee
will
neuer
forsake
.
Let
vs
be
mindefull
of
these
things
in
these
most
dangerous
dayes
,
and
return
vnto
God
,
who
will
be
mercifull
to
so
many
as
conuert
vnto
him
,
through
Iesus
Christ
his
onely
sonne
our
Lord
:
to
whom
be
giuen
blessing
,
honour
,
glory
,
and
dominion
for
euer
and
euer
.
Amen
.
Sermon

Yea
the
Lorde
will
answere
,
and
say
vnto
his
people
:
Beholde
I
wil
sende
you
corne
,
and
wine
,
and
oile
,
and
you
shall
bee
satisfied
therewith
:
and
I
will
no
more
make
you
a
reproch
among
the
heathen
.
20
But
I
will
remoue
farre
off
from
you
the
Northren
armie
,
and
I
will
driue
him
into
a
lande
barren
and
desolate
,
with
his
face
towarde
the
East
Sea
,
and
his
ende
to
the
vttermost
Sea
.
And
his
stinke
shall
come
vp
;
and
his
corruption
shal
ascend
,
because
he
hath
exalted
him selfe
to
doe
this
.
21
Feare
not
,
O
land
,
but
bee
glad
and
reioyce
:
for
the
Lord
will
doe
great
thinges
.
22
Be
not
afraid
,
yee
beasts
of
the
field
:
for
the
pastures
of
the
wildernesse
are
greene
:
for
the
tree
beareth
her
fruit
,
the
figtree
&
the
vine
do
giue
their
force
.
The
Lorde
(
saith
hee
)
will
bee
ielous
ouer
his
la●de
,
&c.
Nowe
ielousie
is
that
loue
,
whereby
the
husbande
through
the
secrete
prou●cation
of
the
spirite
is
so
affected
th●●●●es
his
wife
,
that
he
cannot
abide
that
shee
shoulde
either
bee
subiect
vnto
other
●e●
,
or
iniuriously
dea●●
withal
of
others
.
This
ielousie
the
S●●●pture
attributeth
●nto
God
,
not
that
any
such
affections
or
passions
doe
light
vpon
him
:
but
that
it
●●ght
expresse
the
vehemencie
of
Gods
●oue
towarde
vs
,
which
is
such
&
so
great
,
in
Zacharie
,
saying
:
Hee
that
toucheth
you
toucheth
the
apple
of
mine
eye
.
And
hytherto
maketh
it
,
that
hee
calleth
the
lande
of
the
Iewes
his
land
,
and
the
people
his
people
:
namely
,
that
as
he
had
made
them
his
people
,
so
had
he
consecrated
their
la●de
to
himselfe
,
to
the
ende
is
might
bee
,
a●
y●t
woulde
say
,
the
certaine
seate
of
his
worship
and
religion
according
to
that
saying
of
the
Psalme
,
God
is
knowen
in
Iury
,
&c.
It
becommeth
vs
therefore
to
acknowledge
the
grace
of
GOD
,
and
to
ascribe
vnto
this
alone
,
whatsoeuer
good
is
in
vs
,
which
is
want
to
bee
any
furtherance
to
our
saluation
.
This
thing
serueth
for
our
instruction
,
that
wee
also
may
loue
GOD
againe
,
and
with
no
lesse
zeale
and
feruencie
propagate
and
set
foorth
his
glory
.
But
especially
heereupon
ought
a
comforte
to
bee
raysed
in
temptations
:
in
as
muche
as
we
heare
that
GOD
keepeth
still
his
zeale
men
towardes
those
,
and
acknowledgeth
them
still
for
his
people
,
whome
he
afflicteth
and
punisheth
for
their
sinnes
.
For
thereby
it
appeareth
,
hewe
that
afflictions
are
in
no
wise
the
tokens
of
an
enemilike
●unde
in
God
,
but
rather
doe
testifie
of
his
fatherly
good
will
towardes
vs
.
For
this
doth
the
corruption
of
our
nature
require
,
which
cannot
otherwise
be
brweled
and
tamed
.
For
why
?
if
hee
teache
vs
by
his
worde
,
wee
vnderstand
not
the
teacher
.
If
hee
admonish
vs
,
we
suppose
this
belongs
not
vnto
vs
.
Paule

I
will
sende
you
corne
,
and
wine
,
and
oyle
,
and
you
shall
bee
satisfied
therewith
.
These
thinges
are
set
against
the
penurie
and
hunger
,
which
they
suffered
in
most
gree●ous
wise
:
and
in
three
fores
hee
comprehendeth
all
that
belongeth
to
mans
sustenance
.
And
the
particle
,
Beholde
,
signifieth
a
sodaine
and
vnlo●ked
for
plentie
of
thinges
.
By
which
place
we
are
admonished
,
that
sustenance
and
all
the
fruites
of
the
earth
are
giuen
vnto
vs
of
God
.
that
planteth
,
nor
hee
that
watereth
●●y
thing
(
saith
Saint
Paule
)
but
God
that
giueth
the
increase
.
Let
vs
therefore
acknowledge
Gods
grace
and
goodnesse
,
and
modestly
and
soberly
vse
the
giftes
that
hee
giueth
vs
.
Againe
,
let
vs
not
despaire
,
if
at
any
time
wee
bee
pinched
with
penurie
,
and
the
perill
of
hunger
hang
ouer
our
heads
.
Secondly
hee
saith
:
I
will
no
more
make
you
a
reproche
among
the
Heathen
.
For
they
had
complained
of
this
,
chiefly
because
his
glory
was
in
hazarde
.
Hee
promiseth
therefore
that
they
shall
no
more
bee
troubled
with
any
such
matter
.
They
therefore
doe
best
prouide
for
theyr
owne
glory
,
that
make
most
of
Gods
glory
,
so
as
they
can
preferre
this
before
all
maner
of
riches
of
their
owne
.
For
this
is
Gods
promise
:
I
will
honour
them
,
that
honour
mee
,
and
againe
contrariwise
.
Whereby
it
appeareth
,
what
wee
haue
to
doe
in
these
dayes
as
well
privately
as
publikely
,
if
in
case
wee
desire
to
bee
deliuered
from
reproches
and
●●aunders
.
Let
vs
be
inflamed
with
the
zeale
of
gods
glory
,
and
i●●uour
our
se●●e●●●
a●uannce
the
same
,
and
euen
foorthwith
wee
shall
perceiue
that
God
also
will
prouide
for
〈◊〉
same
and
glory
.
Iewes
.
I
will
driue
(
saith
hee
)
this
Northren
armie
farre
away
from
you
.
By
the
worde
[
driue
]
hee
Theweth
howe
easily
,
and
with
howe
〈◊〉
a
〈◊〉
he
will
d●ing
this
thing
to
p●●●e
,
euen
like
as
if
a
man
with
a
●●●●●lappe
wou●●
driue
away
flyes
,
or
as
the
gras●●●●
vs
are
driuen
away
with
the
●ittde
,
which
before
oc●●●●ed
all
places
both
farre
&
neete
.
Neither
is
there
any
cause
why
ye
should
thinke
that
there
will
bee
no
place
lefte
whither
to
driue
him
.
For
I
will
driue
him
into
desolate
places
,
so
as
one
parte
of
so
great
an
armie
shall
bee
dispearsed
euen
to
the
East
Sea
,
and
another
part
shall
flie
to
the
West
.
And
truly
it
is
to
hee
thought
,
that
so
many
as
eseaped
from
the
slaughter
made
by
the
Angel
,
being
distressed
with
horrible
feare
and
perpleritie
were
scattered
by
flight
into
diuers
&
sundry
places
.
But
he
addeth
:
And
his
stinck
shall
come
vp
,
&c.
Hee
meaneth
the
infamous
memorie
of
his
name
,
which
onely
and
alone
of
so
great
attempts
Sennacherib
shoulde
leaue
behinde
him
.
The
cause
:
For
that
hee
hath
magnified
himself
to
do
this
:
that
is
,
he
hath
proudly
&
unpiously
exalted
himselfe
,
as
though
hee
woulde
after
his
owne
lust
and
liking
ouer
rule
both
God
and
men
.
To
the
exposition
of
this
place
make
those
thinges
,
Aegyptian
Pharaos
,
the
Chananites
,
Antiochusses
,
Herodes
,
Romayne
Emperours
,
haue
caused
their
feare
(
as
the
Prophet
saith
)
to
be
in
the
land
of
the
liuing
.
Let
no
man
therefore
bee
afraide
of
their
attemptes
and
threateninges
,
but
rather
let
vs
feare
GOD
,
and
then
beeing
safe
vnder
his
protection
wee
shall
leaue
behind
vs
a
holy
and
renowmed
memorie
of
our
names
,
howesoeuer
the
wretched
worlde
deuise
all
kinde
of
reproch
against
vs
.
Feare
not
,
O
lande
,
reioyce
and
bee
gladde
,
for
the
Lorde
will
doe
greate
thinges
.
As
though
hee
should
say
:
God
seemeth
nowe
to
lie
along
and
sleepe
,
seeing
Sennacherib
so
proudly
exalteth
himselfe
:
but
euen
foorthwith
God
wil
cast
him
downe
,
and
shew
forth
his
own
power
,
and
restore
a
glad
countenance
to
the
earth
.
And
you
,
O
beasts
,
whom
famine
compelleth
as
yet
to
wander
about
and
mourne
,
nowe
lay
aside
all
feare
.
For
the
pastures
of
the
deferr
shall
floorish
,
and
so
shal
al
trees
,
and
Likewise
the
figtrees
,
and
vines
shal
bring
foorth
their
fruite
,
whereby
foode
shall
be
ministred
both
to
you
and
vnto
men
.
And
thus
woulde
he
comforte
the
people
,
and
stirre
vp
the
same
to
the
consideration
of
Gods
benefite
,
that
from
thence
foorth
,
they
might
yeelde
themselues
thankefull
and
obedient
vnto
God
.
For
as
we
said
of
late
,
a
foule
shame
it
is
,
for
men
not
to
acknowledge
the
hande
of
God
,
which
euen
the
grosse
earth
,
and
bruite
beasts
doe
perceiue
.
But
more
of
this
shal
be
saide
in
that
which
followeth
.
It

Sermon

BE
glad
then
,
yee
children
of
Sion
and
reioyce
in
the
Lorde
your
God
:
for
hee
hath
giuen
you
a
teacher
vnto
righteousnes
,
and
he
will
cause
to
come
downe
vnto
you
the
rayne
,
euen
the
first
rayne
,
and
the
latter
raine
in
the
first
moneth
.
24
And
the
barnes
shall
bee
full
of
wheate
,
and
the
presses
shall
abound
with
wine
and
oyle
.
25
And
I
will
render
you
the
yeeres
that
the
Grashopper
hath
eaten
,
the
Canker
worme
,
and
the
Caterpiller
,
and
the
Palmer
worme
,
my
great
hoast
,
whiche
I
sent
amongest
you
.
29
So
you
shall
eate
and
bee
satisfyed
and
prayse
the
name
of
the
Lorde
your
God
,
that
hath
dealt
maruellously
with
you
,
&
my
people
shal
neuer
be
ashamed
.
27.
And
you
shall
knowe
,
that
I
am
in
the
middest
of
Israel
,
and
that
I
am
the
Lorde
your
God
,
and
none
other
,
and
my
people
shall
neuer
be
ashamed
.
Be
glad
then
ye
children
of
Sion
,
&
reioyce
in
the
Lord
your
God
,
&c.
As
though
he
shoulde
saye
,
Seeing
the
earth
it selfe
is
to
reioyce
and
the
beastes
to
cast
off
al
feare
,
how
much
more
becommeth
it
you
to
reioyce
,
which
are
the
children
of
Sion
,
to
wit
of
the
church
,
which
God
hath
chosen
as
peculiar
to
himself
,
&
for
whose
sake
he
blesseth
the
earth
,
&
the
rest
of
the
creatures
.
And
thus
he
asswageth
the
sharpnes
of
the
present
danger
,
with
the
promise
of
ioy
to
come
:
&
teacheth
,
that
such
as
are
the
children
of
the
church
haue
a
perpetual
cause
of
reioycing
,
albeit
they
be
beset
on
euery
side
with
dangers
.
Where
notwithstanding
wee
haue
diligentlye
to
obserue
,
what
manner
of
ioye
it
is
that
he
inioyneth
vnto
them
.
For
in
as
much
as
he
had
promised
abundance
of
fruites
,
&
was
to
say
yet
more
of
that
matter
,
some
might
conceiue
in
their
heartes
a
carnall
ioy
,
and
by
that
occasion
breake
foorth
into
all
licentiousnes
,
which
thing
commonly
is
wont
to
be
the
cause
of
greater
misery
and
mourning
.
Hee
sayth
therefore
:
Bee
glad
and
reioyce
in
the
Lord
your
God
:
But
the
Prophet
goeth
on
,
because
he
hath
giuen
you
a
teacher
vnto
righteousnesse
.
The
Hebrue
word
signifieth
both
a
teacher
and
rayne
.
For
as
it
behooueth
the
earth
to
bee
watered
with
rayne
,
so
is
it
necessarye
that
the
riuers
of
heauenlye
doctrine
should
flowe
into
the
mindes
of
men
being
otherwise
barren
and
out
of
kilter
,
to
the
end
they
may
be
made
fitte
for
those
thinges
,
that
are
prescribed
vnto
vs
of
the
Lord
.
Whether
it
belongeth
that
God
compareth
his
worde
in
Esay
to
the
rayne
.
These
thinges
teache
vs
what
we
ought
to
iudge
of
the
afflictions
,
wherewith
God
exerciseth
vs
.
It
is
good
O
Lord
,
that
thou
hast
humbled
me
.
Againe
:
Thy
rod
and
thy
staffe
comfort
me
.
For
why
:
Neuerthelesse
least
they
might
think
that
this
affliction
should
alwaies
last
&
continue
,
He
will
cause
the
rayne
to
come
downe
vnto
you
,
euen
the
first
rayne
and
the
latter
rayne
in
the
first
moneth
.
That
is
said
to
be
the
first
rayne
,
which
in
the
moneth
of
September
after
seede
time
watereth
the
fieldes
,
that
the
seedes
may
grow
and
take
roote
.
The
latter
rayne
,
which
when
the
Corne
is
now
in
riping
causeth
,
that
the
Graines
in
the
Eares
are
not
scorched
with
ouermuch
heat
,
but
are
made
more
plentifull
.
And
in
these
two
kindes
he
comprehendeth
all
other
influences
of
the
heauens
,
which
make
to
the
happy
increase
and
foizon
of
the
earth
.
Neither
doeth
hee
promise
these
onely
,
but
te●heth
also
,
that
they
shall
be
effectuall
,
wh●●
hee
addeth
.
And
the
barnes
shall
be
filled
with
wheate
and
the
presses
shall
abound
with
wine
and
oyle
:
and
I
will
render
and
make
good
vnto
you
the
yeeres
,
that
is
,
those
yeerely
fruites
,
which
the
Grashoppers
haue
deuoured
,
the
Canker
worme
,
and
the
Caterpiller
,
and
the
Palmer
worme
,

great

I

In
which
place
wee
are
admonished
,
that
seasonable
weather
and
the
fruites
of
the
earth
doe
come
to
passe
,
onely
and
alone
by
Gods
blessing
.
There
are
extant
as
touching
this
matter
promises
in
the
law
,
&
Dauid
oftentimes
maketh
mention
thereof
in
the
Psalmes
.
As
ofte
therefore
as
wee
inioye
those
benefites
,
let
vs
acknowledge
them
to
bee
testimonies
of
Gods
grace
and
goodnes
,
and
vse
the
same
soberly
and
with
thankesgiuing
.
Hitherto
maketh
that
which
hee
addeth
,
saying
:
And
you
shall
eate
and
be
satisfied
,
and
prayse
the
name
of
the
Lord
your
God
,
who
hath
dealt
maruellously
with
you
.
In
which
wordes
he
sheweth
them
how
they
ought
to
vse
peace
and
the
plenty
of
things
belonging
to
mans
sustenance
.
For
God
would
that
we
should
enioy
them
&
be
satisfied
with
them
.
But
withall
he
will
haue
vs
to
be
mindfull
of
him
,
and
to
prayse
his
name
,
that
is
,
his
power
and
bountifulnes
.
It
was
miraculous
to
behold
,
the
sodeine
deliuerance
&
felicitie
,
which
happened
to
the
Iewes
after
the
Assyrian
war.
But
no
lesse
admiration
deserue
the
things
that
we
daily
haue
experience
of
,
&
that
al
creatures
are
occupied
about
mans
liuelihood
&
welfare
.
Therfore
a
more
then
beastly
blockishnes
it
is
,
if
in
case
we
being
satisfied
with
Gods
giftes
,
doe
neither
acknowledge
his
liberalitie
our selues
,
nor
prayse
and
commend
the
same
vnto
others
,
&c.
And
you
shal
know
that
I
am
in
the
middest
of
Israel
,
that
is
to
say
,
so
great
and
so
notable
shal
your
happines
be
,
that
if
you
wil
not
beleeue
my
wordes
,
yet
shal
you
find
by
experience
and
indeed
,
that
I
am
conuersant
amongst
you
,
&
that
I
stand
in
defence
for
you
with
mine
aide
:
and
how
that
I
am
your
god
,
&
that
only
,
&
alone
.
Because
I
wil
then
deliuer
you
,
when
as
beeing
forsaken
of
al
men
,
there
shal
no
where
appeare
any
hope
of
health
or
safetie
.
To
be
short
,
I
wil
bring
to
passe
,
that
my
people
shal
neuer
be
confounded
.
And
so
he
sheweth
them
that
the
fountaine
of
al
good
things
consisteth
in
the
free
promise
&
couenant
of
God
.
For
in
that
that
God
had
chosen
his
dwelling
place
amongest
them
,
it
was
of
no
merit
or
desert
of
theirs
,
but
of
his
owne
meere
grace
and
fauour
,
wherewith
he
embraced
them
being
vnworthie
,
and
deseruing
no
such
matter
,

so
hath
God
by
grace
chosen
vs
in
Christ
Iesus
.
Who
hath
not
onely
redeemed
vs
by
the
merit
of
his
death
,
but
also
made
vs
a
liuing
temple
vnto
him selfe
,
which
he
vouchsafeth
to
dwell
in
by
his
spirit
and
worde
.
Yea
and
he
hath
engrauen
his
spirit
in
our
heartes
,
as
a
sure
and
certaine
pledge
of
our
saluation
,
whereby
we
cry
,
Abba
Father
.
Of
which
grace
there
appeare
sufficient
trials
and
cleare
testimonies
,
whilest
among
so
many
treacheries
of
hypocrites
and
horrible
enterprises
of
Tyrantes
,
he
maruellously
defendeth
and
preserueth
his
Churche
.
It
shall
be
our
partes
therefore
to
depend
vpon
him
alone
with
a
strong
and
vnshaken
fayth
,
to
feare
and
worship
him
in
spirit
and
in
truth
.
Whosoeuer
shall
this
doe
,
can
neuer
be
confounded

For
this
is
the
voyce
of
Christ
Iesus
:
Beholde
I
am
with
you
euen
to
the
end
of
the

.
To
him
bee
giuen

AS
God
promised
vnto
our
first
parentes
his
sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
for
a
redeemer
,
who
being
made
man
of
a
woman
should
crush
and
breake
in
pieces
the
heade
of
the
serpent
:
so
did
he
afterward
oftetimes
repeate
the
same
promise
,
yea
&
would
haue
al
other
to
be
grounded
theron
.
For
inasmuch
as
in
him
he
is
reconciled
with
vs
,
Christ
Iesus
,
yet
can
wee
by
no
meanes
enioy
them
without
the
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
.
Ghoste
,
I
will
powre
out
(
saith
hee
)
my
spirite
vpon
all
fleshe
,
&c.
By
the
worde
of
powring
out
,
hee
promiseth
a
large
and
ample
grace
of
the
spirite
.
You
shall
bee
my
people
before
all
nations
.
Againe
:
you
onely
haue
I
knowen
of
all
the
kindreds
of
the
earth
.
In
Iury
is
God
knowen
,
his
name
is
famous
in
Israel
.
In
Salem
is
his
tabernacle
,
&
his
dwelling
in
zion
.
He
declareth
his
word
vnto
Iacob
,
his
ordinances
&
iudgements
vnto
Israel
:
he
hath
not
dealt
so
with
euery
nation
,
&c
But
in
the
newe
Testament
the
spirite
of
God
is
powred
foorth
vpon
all
flesh
,
and
the
doctrine
of
saluation
is
preached
throughout
the
whole
worlde
,
and
they
are
called
from
the
East
and
from
the
West
,
which
shall
sitte
downe
in
the
kingdome
of
God
with
Abraham
,
Your
sonnes
and
your
daughters
(
saith
hee
)
shall
prophesie
.
That
is
,
from
them
shall
euery
where
arise
such
,
as
shall
foresee
things
to
come
,
&
by
drawing
forth
the
secretes
of
the
Scripture
,
apply
them
to
the
common
instruction
and
consolation
of
all
.
Againe
,
Your
olde
men
shall
dreame
dreames
,
and
your
young
men
shall
see
visions
.
For
by
these
meanes
commonly
in
times
past
God
reuealed
his
will
to
the
Prophetes
,
And
Theodoret.
bishop
of
Cyrus
writeth
that
in
his
time
there
were
some
,
who
beeing
instructed
with
a
singuler
gift
of
the
spirite
prophesied
of
thinges
to
come
.
But
because
this
gift
was
singuler
and
for
a
time
onely
,
and
the
thinges
nowe
abundantly
taught
in
the
Scriptures
,
which
are
requisite
for
vs
to
knowe
,
this
gift
(
as
many
other
moe
besides
)
is
ceased
.
Neuerthelesse
there
remaineth
yet
still
a
certaine
and
cleere
knowledge
of
the
trueth
,
the
certaintie
of
our
saluation
,
the
effects
of
our
regeneration
,
adoption
,
and
other
thinges
of
like
sort
,
without
the
which
our
faith
can
by
no
meanes
consist
.
In
the
meane
season
they
are
reprooued
in
this
place
,
which
will
not
haue
the
holy
scriptures
published
in
these
dayes
,
and
that
couet
to
suppresse
the
oracles
of
the
Apostles
,
as
touching
the
last
times
,
seeing
God
would
haue
the
knowledge
of
saluation
to
bee
common
vnto
alhis
people
,
&
therefore
behooued
the
Apostles
to
be
indued
with
the
holy
ghost
,
that
they
might
put
vs
in
mind
of
the
things
,
that
come
to
passe
at
this
day
in
the
Church
,
&c.
I
will
shew
(
saith
the
Lord
)
wonders
in
heauen
and
in
earth
,
blood
&
fire
and
pillers
of
smoke
.
The
Sunne
shal
be
turned
into
darkenesse
,
and
the
Moone
into
blood
,
before
that
great
and
terrible
day
of
the
Lorde
come
.
And
because
hee
maketh
mention
of
that
greate
day
,
wherein
Christe
shall
come
to
iudgement
,
it
is
euident
enough
,
that
hee
comprehendeth
all
the
time
from
Christes
manifestation
in
the
flesh
euen
to
his
last
comming
,
in
which
hee
will
accomplishe
his
kingdome
in
his
elect
,
and
punish
his
enemies
with
the
paines
of
eternall
death
and
damnation
.
And
hee
sheweth
that
there
wil
euery
where
appeare
tokens
of
Gods
wrath
,
and
that
such
shall
bee
the
countenance
of
the
whole
worlde
,
as
that
all
the
partes
thereof
might
seeme
to
haue
conspired
together
to
the
destruction
of
mankynde
.
Heereunto
agree
those
thinges
,
that
Christe
foretelleth
in
the
gospel
of
the
later
times
.
But
vnder
the
Romane
Empyre
,
whereunto
the
whole
worlde
was
then
subiect
,
there
raged
in
horrible
wise
seditions
,
warres
,
pestilences
,
famines
,
and
all
maner
of
mischiefes
whatsoeuer
,
and
the
histories
are
full
stuffed
with
the
rehearsall
of
straunge
tokens
.
These
thinges
haue
continued
euen
vnto
our

neither
as

are
they
come

For
who
is
ignoraunt
of

Cometes

,
of
the
Swoordes
,
Speares
,
and
other
like
thinges
,
which
haue
now
certaine
yeeres
past
beene
seene
in

:
As
for
Earthquakes
and
Inundations
of
waters
wee
haue
seene
very
many
.
And
in
some

great
quantities
of
blood
haue
gushed
out
of

and
els
where
it
hath
rayned

I

monstrous
shapes

,
which
if

shoulde

woulde
scarce
bee
sufficient

And
that
these
are
no
vaine
scare-crowes
the

it selfe
testifieth
,
when
as
the
wretched
worlde
is
vexed
and
disquieted
with
warres

famine
,
pestilence

Christe

giue
saluation

But
whosoeuer
shall
call
on
the
name
of
the
Lord
shall
be
saued
.
And
so
hee
knitteth
this
sen●●●●e
with
that
which
went
before
in
so
much
that
it
is
to
bee
taken
not
without
a
singuler
force
and
emphasis
.
For
it
is
all
one
,
as
if
he
had
sayd
.
Howsoeuer
the
whole
world
is
troubled
,
and
the
signes
of
Gods
wrath
do
euery
where
appeare
,
yet
these
things
oght
by
no
means
to
abash
the
godly
.
For
whosoeuer
in
the
meane
time
shal
cal
vpon
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
shal
find
him
to
be
their
deliuerer
&
redeemer
.
Paule
citeth
this
place
in
a
cause
of
great
weight
,
First
let
vs
see
,
to
whom
this
way
and
maner
of
saluation
is
prescribed
.
whosoeuer
shall
call
on
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
&c.
This
promise
therefore
reacheth
vnto
al
,
so
far
forth
that
neither
the
difference
of
nation
,
nor
sexe
,
nor
state
or
degree
shal
exclude
or
debarre
any
.
So
Paule
expoundeth
this
place
,
when
as
by
it
he
proueth
the
calling
of
the
Gentiles
,
and
teacheth
that
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
belongeth
also
vnto
them
.
For
hee
sayth
:
There
is
no
difference
either
of
Iewe
or
Grecian
.
For
there
is
one
Lord
of
al
riche
vnto
all
that
call
vpon
him
.
For
whosoeuer
shall
cal
on
the
name
of
the
Lord
shal
be
saued
.
And
in
another
place
.
Glory
honour
and
peace
to
euery
one
that
doeth
good
,
to
the
Iewe
first
,
&
also
to
the
Grecian
:
For
there
is
no
respect
of
persons
with
God
.
Whether
also
belongeth
that
saying
of
Peter
,
speaking
to
like
effect
:
I
perceiue
in
very
deede
that
there
is
no
respect
of
persons
with
God
,
but
in
euery
nation
,
he
that
feareth
him
,
and
worketh
righteousnes
,
is
accepted
of
him
.
Yea
and
the
Scripture
also
maketh
the
promises
of
saluation
vniuersal
,
to
the
end
that
euery
man
may
apply
the
same
vnto
himselfe
,
and
conceiue
by
them
a
sure
and
certaine
hope
of
saluation
.
These
thinges
do
commend
and
set
foorth
the
goodnes
and
bounty
of
God
,
and
bring
with
them
a
most
effectuall
comfort
in
temptations
:
and
withall
doe
admonish
vs
of
our
duetie
,
that
wee
also
without
any
enuious
respect
of
persons
,
should
embrace
those
with
Christian
loue
and
charitie
,
whome
the
fellowship
of
one
fayth
hath
ioyned
&
knit
together
with
vs
,
Secondarily
hee
sheweth
what
those
should
doe
that
desire
to
be
saued
,
when
hee
sayth
.
They
that
call
vpon
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
Hereunto
agreeth
the
whole
Scripture
,
which
assigneth
vnto
vs
euery
where
the
port
of
saluation
in
the
calling
vpon
and
inuocation
of
the
Lord
.
Certes
the
Lord
himselfe
in
the
Psalmes
sayth
:
Call
vpon
mee
in
the
daye
of
thy
trouble
,
and
I
will
deliuer
thee
.
Also
:
He
is
neere
vnto
all
that
call
vpon
him
.
And
agayne
:
The
eyes
of
the
Lorde
are
ouer
the
righteous
,
and
his
eares
are
open
vnto
their
prayers
.
Saluation
therefore
is
to
be
sought
for
,
from
without
vs
,
and
nothing
to
be
attributed
vnto
mans
strength
.
For
if
it
were
either
in
our selues
or
might
bee
attained
by
our
owne
strength
,
wee
shoulde
then
haue
no
neede
of
inuocation
.
For
seeing
inuocation
belongeth
onely
vnto
God
,
it
remayneth
that
all
sauing
health
is
to
be
sought
and
hoped
for
in
him
alone
.
Howe
shall
they
call
vpon
him
,
in
whom
they
haue
not
beleeued
?
For
as
none
craueth
ayde
of
a
man
,
vnlesse
hee
be
perswaded
that
hee
both
can
and
will
help
him
:
so
no
man
calleth
vpon
God
that
hath
not
alreadye
conceyued
an
vndoubted
hope
and
assurance
of
his
wil
and
power
.
This
the
Prophet
meaneth
,
when
as
hee
plainely
expresseth
the
maner
of
inuocation
.
For
why
?
he
doeth
not
simply
require
them
to
call
vpon
the
Lord
him selfe
,
but
vpon
the
name
of
the
Lord
:
teaching
thereby
,
Why
askest
thou
for
my
name
?
I
am
that
I
am
.
The
Lord
,
the
Lord
,
strong
,
merciful
,
and
gratious
,
slow
to
anger
,
and
abundant
in
goodnes
and
truth
,
reseruing
mercy
for
thousandes
,
forgiuing
iniquitie
,
transgression
&
sinne
and
not
making
the
wicked
innocent
,
visiting
the
iniquitie
of
the
fathers
vpon
the
children
,
&
vpon
childrens
children
.
&c.
But
for
as
much
as
all
these
thinges
are
found
especially
in
the
sonne
of
God
,
That
he
is
his
dearely
beloued
sonne
in
whom
he
is
well
pleased
.
And
he
himselfe
in
the
Gospell
,
when
he
had
sayd
that
he
was
the
way
by
whiche
wee
come
vnto
the
father
,
immediately
addeth
:
Verily
I
say
vnto
you
whatsoeuer
ye
shall
aske
the
father
in
my
name
,
he
will
giue
it
vnto
you
.
Whosoeuer
calleth
on
the
name
of
the
Lorde
shall
be
saued
or
deliuered
.
Hee
vseth
the
word
of
sauing
or
deliuering
,
to
the
end
he
might
shew
that
saluation
should
happen
euen
vnto
those
also
,
that
seemed
alreadie
to
be
vtterly
perished
,
yea
and
quite
fallen
from
al
hope
.
There
are
many
examples
of
this
sort
to
be
found
.
For
hither
belongeth
that
which
is
written
of
the
children
of
Israel
,
trying
out
at
the
redde
Sea
with
infinite
thinges
beside
,
But
where
sinnes
ceasse
or
bee
abolished
,
there
the
wrath
and
punishmentes
of
God
,
which
flowe
from
sinnes
,
must
of
necessitie
ceasse
likewise
.
Whereupon
true
and
perfect
safetie
followeth
,
which
hath
no
maner
of
neede
of
any
thing
to
be
added
to
it
.
These
thinges
teach
vs
what
we
ought
to
doe
at
this
day
.
The
tokens
of
Gods
wrath
doe
euery
where
appeare
,
and
all
sortes
of
calamities
breake
in
on
euery
side
,
which
Christ
and
the
Apostles
foretolde
,
should
come
to
passe
in
the
last
time
.
Many
there
be
that
acknowledge
these
things
and
consult
by
what
meanes
the
dangers
may
be
auoyded
.
But
how
vayne
their
consultations
are
,
which
chalenge
to
themselues
the
chiefe
prayse
of
wisdome
,
the
euent
and
successe
of
thinges
doeth
abundantlye
prooue
.
Let
vs
therefore
(
omitting
our
owne
reasons
and
deuices
)
goe
that
waye
to
woorke
,
whiche
the
holy
Ghoste
prescribeth
in
this
place
.
For
in
as
muche
as
it
leaneth
vppon
the
promise
of
GOD
,
who
is
the
truth
it selfe
,
wee
can
by
no
meanes
erre
or
goe
astraye
.
Let
vs
acknowledge
our
sinnes
,
and
casting
away
all
confidence
of
our
owne
woorkes
,
let
vs
implore
and
call
for
the
grace
of
God
alone
through
Christ
Iesus
,
who
as
he
hath
reconciled
his
father
vnto
vs
,
so
also
woorketh
hee
true
repentance
in
those
,
whome
hee
regenerateth
by
his
spirit
.
&c.
For
in
mount
Sion
,
and
in
Hierusalem
shal
be
deliuerance
,
as
the
Lord
hath
sayd
,
that
is
to
say
,
albeit
the
church
may
seeme
euen
now
to
be
vtterly
perished
yet
in
Sion
shall
saluation
be
had
,
&
there
agayne
shal
bee
gathered
togither
the
remnantes
,
whiche
the
Lord
hauing
chosen
from
euerlasting
shall
call
by
his
Gospell
,
as
he
hath
promised
,
And
these
promises
are
euery
where
extant
in
the
prophets
.
God
doubtlesse
had
sayd
to
Dauid
as
touching
Hierusalem
,
that
the
same
should
be
his
rest
,
Iesus
Christ
,
who
offering
himselfe
on
mount
Sion
for
our
sinnes
,
hath
pacified
God
his
father
toward
vs
.
This
Church
shall
alwayes
endure
,
howsoeuer
the
world
storme
and
rage
.
For
why
:
it
can
by
no
meanes
reele
or
stagger
,
because
it
is
grounded
vpon
Christ
,
which
is
the
rocke
,
against
whom
the
gates
of
hell
shall
neuer
preuayle
,
to
the
remnants
whom
the
Lord
shall
call
.
He
nameth
these
expressely
,
to
intent
he
might
exclude
hypocrites
,
which
trust
in
the
merites
of
their
owne
workes
,
and
to
the
end
he
might
shewe
vnto
vs
the
foundation
of
saluation
only
and
alone
in
the
grace
and
fauour
of
God
.
For
wee
haue
beene
all
of
vs
subiect
vnto
sinne
,
and
by
reason
of
sinne
to
euerlasting
damnation
,
Wicked
deeds
haue
preuailed
agaynst
vs
,
But
thou
wilt
be
mercifull
vnto
our
transgressions
:
Blessed
is
hee
,
whom
thou
choosest
,
and
causest
to
come
to
thee
:
hee
shall
dwell
in
thy
courtes
,
and
shal
be
satisfied
with
the
pleasures
of
thine
house
,
euen
of
thy
holy
temple
.
For
so
much
therefore
as
out
of
the
corrupt
masse
of
mankind
some
are
saued
,
that
is
onely
of
meere
grace
,
by
the
which
wee
are
elected
in
Christ
:
and
by
this
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
like
as
in
tunes
past
,
when
the
Tyrant
of
the
Assyrians
wasted
&
destroyed
all
that
euer
was
both
far
&
neere
,
God
saued
his
people
in
Hierusalem
:
euen
so
in
all
ages
hee
deliuereth
his
out
of
the
snares
of
the
Diuel
,
&
by
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
calleth
them
into
the
felowship
of
his
church
,
&
maketh
them
partakers
of
saluation
in
Christ
.
In
the
meane
season
the
wordes
of
remnantes
&
reliques
betoken
the
fewenesse
of
beleeuers
,
which
if
they
be
compared
with
the
multitude
of
the
vngodly
,
Christ
Iesus

Sermon
.
12.
1
FOr
behold
in
those
daies
,
and
in
that
time
,
when
I
shal
bring
again
the
captiuitie
of
Iuda
and
Hierusalem
.
2
I
wil
also
gather
al
nations
,
and
wil
bring
them
down
into
the
valley
of
Iehosophat
,
&
will
pleade
with
them
there
for
my
people
,
and
for
my
heritage
Israel
,
whom
they
haue
scattered
among
the
nations
,
&
parted
my
land
.
3
And
they
haue
cast
lottes
for
my
people
,
and
haue
giuen
the
childe
for
the
harlot
,
&
sold
the
damosell
for
wine
,
that
they
might
drinke
.
4
Yea
,
&
what
haue
you
to
doe
with
me
,
O
Tyrus
&
Sidon
,
&
al
the
coastes
of
Palestina
?
wil
ye
render
me
a
recompence
?
&
if
ye
recompence
me
,
I
wil
swiftly
and
speedily
render
your
recompence
vpon
your
heade
.
5
For
ye
haue
taken
my
siluer
&
my
gold
,
and
haue
caried
into
your
Temples
my
goodly
and
pleasant
thinges
,
6
The
children
also
of
Iuda
and
the
children
of
Hierusalem
haue
you
sold
vnto
the
Grecians
,
that
yee
might
send
them
farre
from
their
borders
.
THe
Prophet
Ioel
hath
with
many
argumentes
and
perswasions
comforted
the
people
of
his
time
against
the
terrours
of
the
Assyrian
warre
,
and
amongest
other
thinges
he
enterlaced
a
prophesie
of
Christes
kingdome
,
to
the
end
they
might
vnderstand
that
God
can
by
no
meanes
neglect
that
nation
,
of
whom
it
behooued
the
promised
redeemer
of
mankinde
to
be
borne
,
who
shoulde
spreade
abroade
his
kingdome
through
the
whole
world
.
And
vpon
that
occasion
he
entreated
of
the
most
perillous
estate
of
the
latter
time
,
and
withall
instructed
the
godly
with
holesome
counsell
,
vnto
whom
hee
promised
a
most
sure
hauen
&
refuge
of
saluation
in
the
Church
.
But
whilest
he
propounded
these
thinges
,
the
faith
of
a
number
was
not
a
little
tempted
,
when
they
saw
the
power
of
the
Assyrians
to
be
in
a
manner
inuincible
,
&
that
the
neere
nations
had
either
conspired
,
or
otherwise
taken
part
with
them
.
Wherefore
by
way
of
confirmation
,
he
entreateth
:
nowe
more
largely
of
the
punishmentes
of
their
enemies
,
to
the
intent
he
might
shew
,
that
there
shoulde
nothing
let
,
but
that
GOD
woulde
restore
them
into
libertie
.
These
thinges
ought
so
to
bee
considered
of
vs
,
that
wee
may
gather
from
hence
a
generall
doctrine
and
consolation
against
the
attempts
as
well
of
our
exterior
as
domesticall
enemies
.
For
God
is
euermore
like
vnto
himselfe
,
and
as
hee
in
times
past
defended
the
cause
of
his
people
&
Church
,
so
also
will
hee
not
neglect
the
same
at
this
day
,
yea
and
they
shall
feele
Christ
to
bee
their
iudge
,
that
wil
not
acknowledge
him
to
bee
their
Sauiour
.
I
will
not
onely
deliuer
you
from
the
present
danger
of
warre
,
but
also
I
will
render
to
the
Assyrians
,
your
enemies
such
punishments
as
their
deedes
haue
deserued
.
And
that
the
credite
of
the
promise
might
be
the
greater
and
more
certaine
,
hee
toucheth
diligently
all
the
circumstances
of
the
whole
businesse
.
For
beginning
with
the
time
:
In
those
dayes
(
saieth
hee
)
and
in
that
time
,
when
I
shall
bring
againe
the
captiuitie
of
Iuda
and
Ierusalem
,
&c.
The
captiuitie
hee
calleth
partly
the
said
Assyrian
warre
,
wherein
they
were
shut
vp
as
captiues
and
prisoners
,
so
as
no
hope
of
deliuerance
appeared
:
and
partly
that
miserie
,
whiche
they
should
at
the
length
suffer
in
Babylon
.
And
because
it
seemed
scarce
possible
,
that
any
man
should
bee
deliuered
from
the
tyranny
of
so
mightie
&
puissant
enemies
,
he
declareth
that
at
the
selfesame
time
the
same
also
shall
be
crushed
&
subuerted
,
to
the
intent
they
might
vnderstand
,
that
this
should
be
no
let
,
but
that
they
should
be
deliuered
.
But
let
vs
remember
that
these
things
belong
especially
to
the
times
of
Christe
,
in
whome
is
fulfilled
indeede
,
whatsoeuer
was
shadowed
long
agoe
by
the
deliuerance
from
the
tyranny
of
the
Assyrians
or
Babylonians
.
For
we
were
all
of
vs
captiues
vnder
the
dominion
of
sinne
and
the
Diuell
.
Therefore
Christe
came
at
the
time
appointed
,
and
set
vs
at
libertie
.
But
forasmuche
as
no
man
can
take
away
(
as
hee
himselfe
saith
)
the
weapons
of
any
strong
man
,
But
the
Lorde
himselfe
goeth
on
,
and
sheweth
what
hee
will
doe
,
I
will
gather
all
nations
,
and
bryng
them
downe
into
the
valley
of
Iehosophat
,
and
there
I
will
pleade
with
them
.
&c.
In
which
wordes
he
protesteth
,
that
he
will
be
the
deliuerer
of
his
people
▪
and
they
haue
euery
of
them
a
certaine
force
or
Emphasis
.
I
will
gather
(
sayth
hee
)
all
nations
.
As
though
hee
shoulde
say
,
They
nowe
conspire
and
flocke
together
against
mee
,
and
trusting
to
their
owne
multitude
and
power
,
thinke
to
bring
euery
thing
to
passe
as
they
liste
themselues
.
But
I
will
gather
them
together
for
an
other
ende
and
purpose
,
&
will
carry
them
euen
against
their
willes
whither
they
woulde
not
:
namely
into
the
valley
of
Iehosophat
,
and
there
will
I
reason
the
matter
with
them
,
there
shall
they
render
an
account
of
their
doinges
,
and
suffer
the
punishmentes
,
which
they
haue
deserued
.
And
hee
calleth
the
valley
of
Iehosophat
appellatiuely
the
iudgement
it selfe
.
For
Iehosophat
in
Hebrwe
is
the
same
,
that
the
Latines
say
,
Dominus
iudicat
,
and
wee
in
Englishe
,
The
Lorde
iudgeth
.
But
hee
woulde
vse
this
worde
,
as
though
hee
had
appointed
a
place
certaine
,
that
so
he
might
bring
backe
to
remembrance
the
auncient
historie
,
and
shewe
,
that
it
woulde
bee
a
very
easie
matter
for
him
to
bring
to
passe
,
that
which
heere
hee
promiseth
.
For
at
what
time
many
nations
had
conspired
against
king
Iehosophat
,
Further
God
expresseth
the
cause
,
for
the
which
he
will
pleade
,
For
my
people
,
and
for
mine
heritage
Israel
.
For
so
he
nameth
the
Iewes
by
reason
of
the
couenant
,
whereby
he
had
consecrated
them
vnto
him selfe
,
and
withall
admonisheth
them
by
these
titles
,
that
howsoeuer
they
were
priuie
of
their
owne
vnworthinesse
,
yet
they
should
not
despayre
:
but
haue
respect
to
the
promises
of
God
,
who
woulde
neuer
foresake
his
owne
inheritance
and
peculiar
people
.
But
we
ought
to
transfer
these
things
vnto
our selues
also
,
to
the
intent
we
may
learne
from
hence
,
what
they
do
,
whosoeuer
they
are
that
persecute
the
Church
of
Christ
.
They
thinke
they
rage
against
men
of
no
valure
or
estimation
,
&
somuch
the
more
cruelly
doe
they
take
on
with
vs
,
because
they
suppose
wee
are
neither
regarded
of
God
nor
men
.
But
in
the
meane
season
they
inuade
and
make
hauocke
of
Gods
people
,
and
of
Gods
inheritance
,
then
the
which
the
whole
vniuersall
worlde
hath
nothing
in●t●more
excellent
and
glorious
.
For
why
?
God
maketh
so
great
account
of
his
elect
and
chosen
,
He
that
toucheth
you
,
toucheth
the
apple
of
mine
eyet
&
the
saying
of
Christ
,
Saule
,
Saul
,
why
persecutest
thou
mee
?
they
haue
scattered
them
among
all
nations
.
For
they
had
both
led
away
the
people
,
and
dispearsed
them
throughout
their
prouinces
,
and
also
had
brought
of
their
own
nation
into
the
land
of
Israel
to
inhabite
,
according
as
the
sacred
historie
euidently
testifieth
of
Salmanazar
:
they
haue
cast
lottes
for
my
people
.
And
so
he
betokeneth
an
extreeme
contempt
,
and
that
they
accounted
them
for
most
vile
,
whomsoeuer
that
tooke
in
that
battaile
.
Hee
addeth
:
And
they
haue
giuen
the
childe
for
the
harlot
,
and
haue
solde
the
damosell
for
wine
.
The
former
member
may
be
taken
two
waies
,
that
wee
may
vnderstande
them
either
to
haue
abused
the
children
to
their
abhominable
lust
,
or
els
to
haue
giuen
them
for
gifces
to
their
harlots
.
But
in
the
latter
member
hee
reprooueth
their
practise
of
gluttonie
and
drunkennesse
:
and
withall
putteth
the
Iewes
in
minde
,
howe
iustly
they
had
hitherto
suffered
extremities
,
that
had
so
carelesly
neglected
Gods
glory
.
For
doubtlesse
a
fearefull
thing
it
is
,
if
we
consider
that
these
things
hapned
to
gods
people
and
inheritance
,
and
euen
then
happened
too
,
when
God
yet
acknowledged
them
for
his
owne
people
.
But
the
like
thinges
in
times
past
the
Christians
also
suffered
,
&
at
this
day
in
some
places
they
are
faine
to
suffer
the
selfe
same
.
Wee
ought
not
therfore
to
bee
offended
,
but
rather
to
consider
of
the
faultes
and
corruptions
of
the
Church
,
which
it
behoueth
by
this
meanes
to
bee
corrected
and
resereined
.
In
the
meane
time
heere
also
are
expressed
the
maners
and
practises
of
the
enemies
and
persecutors
of
the
Church
.
Yea
,
and
what
haue
you
to
doe
with
mee
(
saith
hee
)
O
Tyre
&
Sidon
,
and
all
the
coastes
of
Palestina
?
As
though
hee
shoulde
say
,
Goe
to
,
admit
the
Assyrians
had
some
cause
of
warre
against
mee
,
or
at
least
coulde
pretende
some
excuse
,
that
they
beeing
farre
off
from
my
lande
,
were
also
voide
and
destitute
of
the
knowledge
of
my
lawes
&
maner
of
my
true
worship
.
But
tell
me
,
what
moued
you
,
to
ioyne
your selues
vnto
these
,
and
to
bee
drawen
into
the
societie
of
the
battaile
?
What
,
will
yee
render
mee
a
recompence
?
that
is
to
say
,
haue
yee
suffered
any
iniurie
by
me
,
that
might
deserue
such
a
recompence
?
Certainely
you
can
alleddge
no
such
matter
,
when
rather
yee
owe
thankes
vnto
mee
,
who
woulde
haue
you
to
be
my
people
,
or
my
confederats
or
subjects
,
that
by
this
occasion
ye
might
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
true
faith
and
saluation
.
But
goe
to
,
seeing
it
liketh
you
so
well
,
it
will
bee
a
very
easie
matter
for
me
,
to
recompence
you
vpon
your
head
,
according
as
you
haue
deserued
.
The
summe
therefore
and
effect
of
the
accusation
is
this
,
namely
that
they
rashly
and
prouoked
with
no
wrong
or
iniurie
at
all
,
had
rysen
and
rebelled
againste
the
people
of
GOD
,
&c.
yee
haue
taken
my
siluer
and
my
golde
,
&c.
Hee
accuseth
them
of
Sacriledge
,
and
howe
they
had
wickedly
taken
away
perforce
the
riches
consecrated
vnto
him
,
and
had
carried
them
into
their
temples
or
pallaces
,
where
they
abused
them
eyther
to
superstition
,
or
to
riot
and
superfluitie
as
they
sisted
themselues
.
Secondly
,
yee
haue
solde
the
children
of
Iuda
and
Ierusalem
vnto
the
Grecians
,
or
vnto
forreigne
nations
,
that
beeing
banished
farre
off
from
their
countrie
,
they
might
be
void
of
all
hope
of
return
.
Both
these
sinnes
reigne
openly
at
this
day
.
For
after
that
the
Romishe
Bishops
haue
once
vsurped
to
themselues
the
gouermnent
of
the
Church
,
by
and
by
they
conuert
the
goods
of
the
Church
,
which
aforetime
were
consecrated
vnto
God
and
his
seruice
,
partly
into
superstitions
,
&
partly
to
the
maintenance
of
their
own
pomp
and
prodigalitie
.
And
albeit
their
sacrilegious
holdnesse
bee
euery
where
reproued
by
the
light
of
the
Gospell
,
yet
want
there
not
false
Gospellers
,
which
catching
the
saide
goods
out
of
their
clawes
do
not
restore
them
to
the
Church
,
but
either
scrape
them
together
to
the
common
bancke
,
or
els
challenge
them
priuately
to
themselues
,
that
they
may
the
more
inordinately
reuel
and
make
good
cheere
.
Either
of
these
fortes
haue
their
colours
,
whereby
they
excuse
their
iniquitie
,
and
the
true
children
of
Iuda
,
which
accuse
and
finde
fault
with
these
thinges
,
they
eyther
cast
into
exile
,
or
kill
them
with
sworde
and
fire
,
that
so
they
may
cease
to
bee
troublesome
vnto
them
.
But
let
these
men
remember
,
that
this
is
Gods
golde
and
siluer
,
who
will
not
suffer
their
boldenesse
to
goe
vnpunished
,
as
shal
appeare
in
the
Sermon
following
.
In
the
meane
time
,
let
vs
also
bee
mindfull
of
these
thinges
,
and
paciently
take
this
vnhappie
lot
and
condition
of
the
Churche
,
trusting
onely
in
Christe
Iesu
,
who
will
neuer
suffer
his
owne
cause
to
quaile
.
To
him
bee
giuen
blessing
,
honour
,
glory
and
dominion
for
euer
and
euer
,
Amen
.

And

to

for
the

hath
spoken

Publish

Breake

11
Assemble

yee

there

12
Let

be

and
come
vp
to
the

Iehosophat
:
for
there
will
I
sit
to

all

13
Put

O

O

for
the

of
the
Lorde

.
15
The
Sunne
and
Moone
shall
bee
darkened
,
and
the
Startes
shal
withdraw

.
ALbeit
God
loueth
deerly
his
church
,
&
wil
haue
it
to
be
perpetuall
●●●reserued
,
Beholde
,
I
will
rayse
them
out
of
the
place
,
&c.
As
though
he
shoulde
say
,
You
in
deede
goe
about
to
scatter
my
people
,
so
as
no
hope
of
restitution
should
be
left
vnto
them
.
But
you
shal
neuer
bring
this
to
passe
.
For
albeit
it
may
seem
a
thing
impossible
,
that
they
should
euer
returne
to
their
owne
country
:
yet
will
I
rayse
them
vp
,
and
gathering
them
together
out
of
all
places
,
bring
them
backe
againe
.
And
as
for
you
I
wil
rewarde
you
according
to
your
desertes
,
and
that
vpon
your
owne
heade
.
For
I
wil
sel
your
soones
&
your
daughters
into
the
hand
of
the
children
of
Iuda
,
who
shall
also
sell
them
to
the
Sabeans
and
to
other
nations
a
farre
off
.
Hee
a●●●th
by
way
of
confirmation
:
For
the
Lord
himselfe
hath
spoken
it
.
But
yet
we
neuer
reade
,
that
the
Tyrians
and
Sidonians
and
other
the
enemies
of
the
Iewes
were
sold
by
the
Iewes
themselues
.
Yet
so
the
Lord
speaketh
,
that
these
thinges
should
happen
vnto
them
,
by
reason
of
the
disluyaltie
and
crueltie
,
which
they
had
vsed
agaynst
the
Iewes
.
The
execution
therfore
of
Gods
iudgement
is
attributed
to
the
Iewes
,
for
as
much
as
God
woulde
sende
it
,
to
reuenge
the
iniuries
offred
vnto
his
people
.
But
these
thinges
were
fulfilled
,
when
the
selfsame
Assyrians
&
Chaldeans
,
which
had
afflicted
the
Iewes
,
did
also
within
a
while
after
subdue
and
ouerrunne
these
nations
,
togither
with
other
the
neare
neighbours
of
the
Iewes
,
Esay
,
Ieremie
,
and
Ezechiel
.
Neuerthelesse
these
things
ought
chiefly
to
be
referred
to
the
times
of
Christ
,
who
as
he
hath
gathered
together
in
one
the
children
of
God
,
which
were
before
dispersed
and
solde
vnder
sinne
:
so
taketh
hee
most
greeuous
punishments
vpon
the
wicked
enemies
of
his
church
,
whereof
the
Iewes
first
of
all
tasted
.
For
when
these
had
after
a
sort
sold
Christ
,
and
shamefully
denied
him
before
Pilate
,
God
solde
them
also
into
the
handes
of
the
Romanes
,
and
scattered
them
throughout
the
whole
worlde
,
so
as
the
tokens
of
Gods
wrath
are
euery
where
seene
in
them
.
The
like
happened
not
long
after
to
the
Romanes
,
whom
God
solde
into
the
handes
of
the
Gotthes
,
Vandalles
,
Herulians
,
and
other
most
cruell
nations
,
when
they
had
once
atmed
them selues
against
Christ
,
neither
is
it
to
be
doubted
,
but
that
all
they
also
are
to
tast
of
the
selfe
same
cup
in
these
dayes
,
that
are
false
and
iniurious
against
the
church
.
And
withall
let
them
also
obserue
this
thing
whosoeuer
beside
the
cause
of
religion
,
liue
by
oppression
of
the
poore
,
shedding
of
bloode
,
and
by
rauine
and
extertion
:
suche
as
are
those
,
that
addicting
themselues
vnto
mercenary
warfare
,
seeke
their
chiefe
prayse
in
this
,
if
they
may
spoyle
,
kill
,
and
destroy
as
manye
as
is
possible
.
Well
,
God
will
one
day
punishe
them
wick
euen
dealing
:
neither
will
Christ
bee
founde
false
,
With
what
measure
yee
mete
,
with
the
selfesame
shal
others
also
mete
vnto
you
.
Hee
that
leadeth
into
captiuitie
,
goeth
into
captiuitie
.
He
that
killeth
with
the
sword
;
shall
perish
with
the
sword
.
These
things
are
approued
by
the
examples
of
all
ages
,
so
as
wee
haue
by
no
meanes
to
doubt
of
the
truth
of
them
.
&c.
this
among
the
Gentiles
.
For
god
is
the
Lord
of
all
nations
,
●●nctifie
&
prepare
warret
by
which
speech
he
signifieth
,
that
this
warre
should
be
accomplished
by
the
furtherance
and
assistance
of
God
,
albeit
the
prophane
Gentiles
vnderstood
not
so
much
:
&
withal
he
commendeth
vnto
them
an
earnest
care
&
endeuour
to
go
through
with
it
.
Wake
vp
also
al
the
mightie
&
valiant
men
,
&
let
as
many
as
are
furnished
with
any
martiall
prowesse
draw
neere
,
&
come
vp
.
Yea
breake
your
plough
shares
into
swordes
,
&
your
siethes
into
speares
.
And
thus
he
expresseth
the
incessant
practise
of
warring
,
which
should
bring
with
it
a
forgetfulnes
of
husbandry
and
of
all
other
businesses
,
which
are
wonte
to
florishe
in
the
time
of
peace
.
For
Esay
by
diuerse
speeches
expresseth
the
exercise
of
peace
,
when
prophesiyng
of
the
kingdome
of
Christe
hee
sayeth
:
They
shall
breake
their
swordes
into
mattockes
,
and
theyr
speares
into
siethes
,
&c.
Hereunto
Ioel
addeth
:
Hee
that
is
weake
,
let
him
say
,
I
am
a
strong
champion
:
&
let
him
shew
himself
couragious
in
executing
Gods
iudgment
.
What
neede
many
wordes
:
Assemble
your selues
and
come
together
all
ye
heathen
rounde
about
.
The
cause
:
For
the
Lord
shall
there
(
namely
in
the
sight
of
his
Churche
)
cast
downe
all
the
mightie
men
of
the
earth
,
that
haue
hytherto
afflicted
her
.
These
things
admonish
vs
how
greatly
.
God
careth
for
his
Church
.
Palestines
,
Syrians
,
Idumeans
,
Babilonians
,
Medians
,
Persians
,
Grecians
,
and
Romanes
,
as
the
histories
,
doe
euery
where
tostifie
.
And
at
this
daye
wee
see
the
wicked
runne
together
by
the
eares
one
vpon
another
,
and
to
turne
the
weapons
to
their
owne
destruction
,
which
they
had
prouided
to
oppresse
the
Church
:
and
so
is
it
true
in
all
ages
,
that
the
verye
earth
(
that
is
to
say
,
earthly
minded
men
,
and
such
as
are
giuen
ouer
to
the
worlde
)
drinke
up
the
floodes
of
water
,
which
that
olde
Oragon
,
the
Diuell
,
Let
the
heathen
(
sayth
he
)
be
wakened
,
and
come
vp
to
the
valley
of
Iehosophat
,
that
is
,
to
the
place
of
Gods
iudgement
,
where
they
may
be
punished
for
their
wickednes
.
Where
wee
are
taught
,
that
the
iudgments
of
God
are
extended
to
al
nations
,
neither
can
they
be
auoyded
by
any
shiftes
or
forcible
attemptes
of
men
.
For
so
great
is
the
force
of
Gods
summoning
or
citation
,
that
the
wicked
doe
euen
willingly
after
a
forte
come
forth
when
the
time
of
vengeance
is
,
and
no
man
compelling
them
stand
forth
before
God
to
be
punished
.
So
Pharao
willingly
ran
headlong
into
the
bocome
of
the
Sea
:
&
in
these
dayes
we
see
it
no
rare
matter
,
that
the
wicked
desperately
pluck
perils
vpon
their
owne
pates
,
wherin
they
miserably
perish
.
Let
no
man
therefore
either
be
deceiued
by
his
owne
securitie
,
or
dismaied
by
the
successe
and
temerity
of
the
vngodly
.
Secondly
,
God
bewraieth
also
the
iudge
:
to
witee
himselfe
,
will
sitte
to
iudge
all
nations
round
about
.
As
though
hee
shoulde
saye
,
This
wil
I
do
,
who
hitherto
might
seeme
as
though
I
had
neglected
both
mine
owne
cause
,
and
the
cause
of
my
people
.
&c.
This
thing
is
well
to
bee
obserued
of
the
wicked
,
and
euen
of
as
many
as
are
securely
besotted
in
their
sinnes
.
They
for
the
most
part
thinke
,
that
God
regardeth
not
mortall
mens
matters
,
and
with
those
fooles
say
,
There
is
no
God
,
the
Lorde
seeth
not
,
neither
doth
the
God
of
Iacob
vnderstand
.
&c.
But
would
to
god
the
same
woulde
heare
the
Prophet
making
answere
vnto
them
.
Vnderstand
ye
vnwise
among
the
people
,
and
O
yee
fooles
when
wil
yee
be
wise
:
He
that
planted
the
eare
shal
he
not
heare
:
he
that
formed
the
eye
,
shal
he
not
see
:
he
that
chastiseth
the
nations
,
&
teacheth
men
wisedome
,
shall
hee
not
reproue
you
?
The
Lorde
knoweth
the
thoughts
of
men
,
that
they
are
but
vaine
&c.
And
that
these
thinges
are
most
truly
spoken
of
the
Prophet
,
as
well
old
,
as
new
,
and
euen
dayly
examples
doe
so
manifestly
prooue
,
that
they
are
wittinglie
and
willingly
beside
themselues
,
that
dare
call
the
same
into
question
.
Thrust
in
your
siethes
,
for
the
haruest
is
ripe
:
come
,
gette
you
downe
,
for
the
wine
presse
is
full
,
&c.
And
thus
speaketh
he
vnto
those
,
whom
he
had
now
constituted
executioners
of
his
iudgement
.
The
selfesame
parables
Iohn
heard
aleadged
of
the
Angel
,
when
he
described
the
proceeding
of
the
last
iudgement
.
But
for
our
partes
,
let
us
learne
hereby
,
howe
dangerously
they
are
deceiued
,
that
by
the
long
sufferance
of
God
,
promise
to
themselues
an
impunitie
in
sinning
,
and
in
the
meane
season
,
thinke
not
of
Gods
iustice
,
who
distributeth
vnto
euery
thing
his
proper
time
and
season
.
The
husbandman
wayteth
for
the
time
of
haruest
and
vintage
,
neither
gathereth
he
his
fruites
before
they
be
ripe
:
&
shall
we
thinke
that
God
will
rashly
and
vnaduisedly
hasten
his
iudgments
:
But
although
he
sometimes
deferre
the
punishmentes
,
yet
he
forgetteth
not
the
sinnes
,
which
if
together
with
a
setled
and
incurable
libertie
of
sinning
&
contempt
of
Gods
worde
they
come
vnto
ripenes
,
then
by
and
by
he
displayeth
his
iudgement
;
Wherby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
such
as
seemed
of
long
time
to
haue
committed
most
heynous
transgressions
without
check
or
controlement
,
at
length
by
adding
one
sinne
more
,
haue
prouoked
Gods
wrath
against
them
.
For
as
the
haruest
being
already
white
one
day
or
two
bringeth
it
vnto
ripenes
,
&
as
the
measure
filled
vp
to
the
brim
one
onely
drop
maketh
it
run
ouer
:
euen
so
the
sinnes
that
seeme
to
be
smal
,
prouoke
the
iudgement
of
God
,
if
through
an
incurable
malice
&
prophane
contempt
of
the
word
,
they
be
added
to
the
former
transgressions
.
Let
euery
one
obserue
&
marke
these
things
,
neither
let
them
looke
onely
vpon
that
which
is
presently
committed
,
but
call
to
minde
also
their
sinnes
past
,
and
examine
their
hearts
,
least
the
wicked
&
carelesse
contempt
of
god
,
cause
that
to
be
pernitious
vnto
them
,
which
vnto
the
godly
&
to
such
as
sinne
of
infirmitie
is
pardoned
and
forgiuen
.
O
multitude
multitude
,
come
into
the
valley
of
threshing
,
&c.
For
this
is
peculiar
to
the
prophets
,
that
being
rapt
&
rauished
out
of
themselues
,
they
looke
vpon
things
to
come
,
as
though
they
were
present
:
which
thing
the
Poet
obseruing
bringeth
in
Sibyll
crying
out
.
Warres
O
most
fearefull
warres
,
I
say
,
And
slaughters
manifolde
,
And
Tyber
foming
froth
of
blood
,
Great
plentie
I
beholde
.
And
he
calleth
the
place
of
Gods
▪
iudgment
the
valley
of
threshing
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
They
would
not
hitherto
acknowledge
the
iudgment
of
God
,
&
deuise
how
to
escape
it
,
but
haue
brought
their
sins
vnto
ripenes
:
therfore
they
shal
come
into
the
valley
of
threshing
,
and
there
be
broken
in
pieces
:
&
forthwith
he
addeth
the
cause
.
For
the
day
of
the
lord
is
nere
in
the
valley
of
threshing
.
He
calleth
the
day
of
the
lord
the
time
of
vengeance
,
which
he
expressed
before
by
the
names
of
haruest
&
vintage
.
And
that
he
might
be
token
the
greeuousnes
thereof
,
he
sayth
that
the
Sun
&
Moon
with
the
rest
of
the
starres
shal
forgo
their
brightnes
,
insomuch
that
the
tokens
of
gods
wrath
shal
appeare
in
them
:
let
these
things
serue
for
our
confort
against
the
assault
of
the
wicked
;
who
,
howsoeuer
they
rage
&
take
on
for
a
time
,
yet
shall
they
one
day
be
broght
before
the
iudgment
seat
of
Christ
,
&
receuie
rewards
according
to
their
deedes
.
And
withal
being
mindful
of
these
things
,
let
vs
embrace
the
grace
of
God
,
which
he
offereth
vnto
vs
in
Christ
Iesus
,
who
at
the
length
hauing
remooued
vs
from
all
dangers
,
wil
finally
translate
vs
into
the
felowship
of
his
kingdome
,
to
him
be
giuen
blessing
,
honour
,
glory
,
and
dominion
for
euer
and
euer
.
Amen

THe
Lord
also
shall
roare
out
of
Sion
,
17
And
you
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
your
God
,
dwelling
in
Sion
,
mine
holy
mountaine
:
and
then
shall
Hierusalem
be
holy
,
and
there
shall
no
strangers
goe
through
her
any
more
.
18
And
in
that
daye
shall
the
mountaines
drop
down
new
wine
,
and
the
hils
shall
flow
with
milke
,
and
al
the
riuers
of
Iuda
shal
runne
with
waters
:
and
a
fountaine
shal
come
forth
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
and
shal
water
the
valley
of
Sittim
.
19
Egypt
shall
bee
wast
,
and
Edome
shal
be
a
desolate
wildernesse
,
for
the
iniuries
of
the
children
of
Iuda
:
because
they
haue
shed
innocent
blood
in
their
land
.
20
But
Iuda
shall
dwell
for
euer
,
and
Ierusalem
from
generation
to
generation
.
21
For
I
wil
clense
their
blood
,
which
I
haue
not
cleansed
:
and
the
Lorde
will
dwell
in
Zion
.
FOrasmuch
as
all
the
promises
of
God
are
founded
in
Christ
Iesus
,
in
whom
alone
the
father
is
well
pleased
with
vs
:
The
Lord
(
saith
he
)
will
roare
out
of
Zion
,
and
vtter
his
voyce
from
Ierusalem
.
He
compareth
GOD
to
a
Lion
roaring
after
his
pray
,
which
hee
will
not
suffer
to
bee
taken
from
him
.
And
so
hee
teacheth
,
that
God
will
bee
a
deliuerer
and
defender
of
his
people
,
not
onely
faithfull
and
iust
,
but
also
strong
and
valiant
,
which
will
neuer
permit
them
to
bee
purloyned
from
him
.
Therefore
hee
addeth
:
The
heauen
&
the
earth
shall
tremble
.
My
sheepe
(
saith
hee
)
can
no
man
take
out
of
my
hand
,
&c.
Let
these
thinges
comfore
vs
in
our
temptations
.
For
if
we
abide
in
Zion
,
that
is
,
in
the
fellowship
and
societie
of
the
Church
,
no
man
can
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
God
.
But
the
Lorde
will
be
the
hope
of
his
people
,
and
the
strength
of
his
people
Israell
.
In
that
therefore
hee
sheweth
himselfe
terrible
to
the
vngodly
,
in
that
hee
shaketh
heauen
and
earth
,
all
this
hee
doth
to
the
benefice
and
welfare
of
his
Church
,
that
namely
the
wicked
may
bee
abashed
,
and
the
godly
haue
a
stedfast
and
vntemoueable
hope
and
confidence
in
him
.
And
heere
it
appeareth
how
notable
the
fruite
of
faith
and
godlines
is
,
when
as
these
alone
cause
god
to
be
sweete
and
amiable
vnto
vs
,
whose
Maiestie
and
power
otherwise
is
intollerable
.
For
as
good
and
vertuous
children
are
delighted
with
the
port
and
magnificence
of
their
father
,
which
they
know
will
be
honourable
and
profitable
vnto
them
also
,
but
the
vndutifull
and
rebellious
are
dismaide
with
the
same
,
because
they
know
well
enough
they
haue
deserued
punishment
:
euen
so
the
power
and
glory
of
God
doth
wonderfully
cheere
and
comfort
the
godly
,
when
as
they
acknowledge
him
to
bee
their
father
and
protector
,
the
wicked
and
vngodly
in
the
meane
time
miserably
trembling
at
the
mention
of
him
.
But
wee
haue
to
obserue
,
that
he
saith
that
God
will
not
onely
bee
the
hope
,
but
also
the
strength
of
the
godly
.
For
as
hee
protecteth
and
defendeth
his
people
,
so
also
he
furnisheth
them
with
new
force
,
that
they
may
be
able
to
abide
and
do
all
things
.
These
thinges
haue
in
like
maner
their
accomplishment
in
Christ
.
I
am
able
to
do
all
thinges
in
Christe
that
strengtheneth
mee
.

And
you
shall
knowe
,
that
I
am
the
Lord
your
GOD
,
dwelling
in
Zion
,
my
holy
mountaine
.
Hee
opposeth
this
to
the
dangers
,
which
they
had
hytherto
susteyned
,
and
by
reason
whereof
they
supposed
that
they
had
beene
vtterly
forsaken
of
God
.
The
sense
is
this
:
I
will
shewe
my selfe
so
fauorable
vnto
you
,
that
you
shal
feele
by
experience
in
deed
,
that
I
remembring
wel
my
couenant
doe
dwell
amongest
you
,
neither
will
I
euer
depart
away
from
you
.
Ierusalem
shal
be
holy
,
and
there
shall
no
strangers
goe
through
it
any
more
.
In
which
wordes
hee
sayth
two
things
at
once
,
namely
,
that
they
should
both
be
consecrated
wholy
vnto
God
,
and
also
that
God
woulde
defende
them
from
ass
prophanation
and
defilement
of
enemies
.
Neither
are
these
two
thinges
ioyned
together
without
great
cause
,
considering
it
is
impossible
that
the
one
should
bee
deuided
from
the
other
?
For
inasmuch
as
God
hath
consecrated
vnto
himself
his
Church
,
Bee
yee
holy
,
for
I
the
Lorde
your
God
am
holy
.
Againe
:
Who
shall
dwell
in
thy
tabernacle
?
Who
shall
rest
in
thy
holy
hill
?
Hee
that
walketh
vprightly
,
and
worketh
righteousnesse
,
&c.
And
Christe
also
saide
vnto
Peter
:
If
I
washe
thee
not
,
thou
shalt
haue
no
parte
with
mee
:
and
there
he
giueth
in
charge
,
that
such
as
are
washed
by
him
,
should
in
like
maner
wash
their
feete
.
As
long
therfore
as
the
citizens
of
the
church
do
obserue
&
keep
these
things
,
God
is
not
absent
from
his
promises
,
neither
suffereth
hee
them
.
to
bee
subiect
to
the
lust
of
their
enemies
.
And
as
ofte
as
that
commeth
to
passe
,
it
is
certaine
and
sure
that
it
happeneth
by
our
default
,
as
will
easily
appeare
,
if
wee
examine
the
Ecclesiasticall
histories
.
For
euen
nowe
from
the
beginning
sinnes
and
enormities
haue
made
way
&
passage
vnto
persecutions
,
which
creepe
also
into
the
Churche
it selfe
,
when
as
abounding
in
peace
and
idlenesse
,
it
is
occupied
rather
about
earthly
thinges
then
heauenly
.
Eusebius
testifieth
this
thing
in
diuers
and
sundry
places
,
but
of
all
other
most
manifestly
in
the
beginning
of
the
eight
booke
,
when
as
he
taketh
in
hand
to
describe
&
set
forth
that
horrible
and
cruel
persecution
,
which
vnder
Diocletian
afflicted
the
Church
by
the
space
of
whole
ten
yeeres
togeather
.
And
if
wee
compare
the
persecutions
of
our
time
with
the
maners
of
those
,
that
glory
in
the
profession
of
the
Gospell
,
wee
shall
soone
see
that
we
haue
no
cause
at
al
,
to
complaine
of
any
seueritie
in
GOD
.
Wherefore
let
vs
endeuour
to
offer
our selues
pure
and
vndefiled
vnto
God
,
&
then
will
hee
not
suffer
vs
to
bee
troden
vnder
foote
of
the
wicked
,
neither
to
become
a
pray
vnto
them
,
&c.
And
in
that
day
shall
the
mountaines
drop
down
new
wine
,
&
the
hilles
shall
flow
with
milke
,
&c.
These
are
hyperbolicall
or
excessiue
speeches
,
wherby
is
betokened
the
great
and
ouerflowing
plentie
of
Gods
gifts
,
which
the
Prophet
opposeth
against
the
famine
and
scarcitie
,
that
went
before
.
And
albeit
God
graunted
this
plentie
vnto
them
vnder
Ezechias
and
after
,
and
watereth
the
valley
of
Sittim
.
Thirdly
hee
promiseth
that
they
shal
be
safe
and
free
from
the
feare
of
enemies
,
Egypt
shall
be
wast
,
and
Edom
shall
bee
a
desolate
wildernesse
,
&c.
These
were
the
auncient
enemies
of
the
Iewishe
nation
,
and
the
Idumeans
forsooth
being
descended
from
Esau
,
burned
as
it
were
with
a
natiue
and
hereditarie
hatred
,
and
the
Egyptians
mindefull
of
the
departure
,
which
the
Israelites
had
made
from
them
,
neuer
ceased
to
persecute
them
.
But
vnder
these
hee
comprehendeth
al
other
enemies
,
which
he
saith
shall
bee
so
farre
off
from
hurting
heereafter
,
that
rather
they
shall
bee
cut
off
,
and
together
with
their
landes
miserably
perish
.
The
truth
of
this
promise
is
auouched
also
in
this
worlde
,
because
of
the
iniuries
offered
vnto
the
children
of
Israel
,
and
for
they
haue
shedde
innocent
blood
in
their
land
.
Therfore
the
wicked
are
punished
for
their
tyrannie
,
whereby
they
oppresse
the
godly
:
neither
in
deede
will
Christ
suffer
this
to
escape
vnreuenged
,
who
testifieth
himselfe
to
bee
afflicted
in
his
members
,
as
we
said
of
late
.
From
hence
therfore
let
vs
fetch
comfort
in
persecution
,
neither
let
vs
be
offended
with
the
successe
of
the
wicked
,
who
shall
one
day
(
wee
reigning
in
the
heauens
)
bee
cast
into
vtter
darknesse
and
there
tormented
for
euer
.
But
Iuda
shall
dwell
for
euer
,
and
Ierusalem
from
generation
to
generation
.
Which
may
bee
meant
onely
of
the
Church
,
vnto
whome
Christe
being
about
to
conueigh
his
body
from
the
earth
into
heauen
,
Behold
I
am
with
you
euen
vnto
the
ende
of
the
worlde
.
And
that
the
same
shall
neuer
die
,
And
I
will
cleanse
their
blood
,
which
I
haue
not
cleansed
,
and
the
Lord
wil
dwel
in
Zion
.
By
blood
the
scriptures
vnderstand
al
greeuous
and
haynous
sins
.
The
meaning
therefore
is
this
:
Whatsoeuer
filthinesse
remaineth
in
them
,
which
might
seeme
as
yet
not
to
be
clensed
and
taken
away
,
all
that
will
I
cleanse
&
purge
.
This
was
performed
also
in
Christ
,
whose
blood
(
as
the
Apostle
saith
)
cleanseth
vs
from
all
sin
:
and
of
whom
the
Baptist
witnessed
,
Beholde
the
lambe
of
God
,
that
taketh
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
.
But
especially
this
seemeth
to
bee
referred
to
the
calling
of
the
Gentiles
,
who
,
where
before
also
they
wanted
the
purifiyngs
of
the
lawe
,
&
God
had
suffered
them
(
as
the
Apostle
saith
)
to
walk
in
their
owne
wayes
,
God
setteth
out
his
loue
toward
vs
,
seeing
that
while
we
were
yet
sinners
,
Christ
died
for
vs
.
Much
more
then
being
now
iustified
by
his
blood
,
we
shal
bee
saued
from
wrath
through
him
.
For
if
when
we
were
enemies
,
we
were
reconciled
to
God
by
the
death
of
his
sonne
:
much
more
being
reconciled
,
we
shal
be
saued
by
his
life
,
&c.
And
thus
doth
the
diuine
Ioel
conclude
and
shet
vp
his
prophesie
with
a
promise
of
the
Gospell
:
nay
if
you
consider
more
aduisedly
of
him
throughout
,
yee
shall
finde
him
to
bee
an
Euangelical
Preacher
.
For
hee
beganne
with
the
rehearsall
of
the
punishments
,
which
hee
sheweth
they
deserued
by
their
sins
.
And
immediately
he
exhorted
them
to
repentance
,
&
gaue
foorth
the
true
fourme
and
maner
thereof
.
Then
heereunto
he
added
promises
touching
the
penalties
of
the
enemies
,
&
perpetual
happinesse
of
the
godly
.
Let
vs
therfore
transferre
these
thinges
to
our
times
,
and
from
hence
take
aduice
as
touching
the
auoyding
of
plagues
and
calamities
:
whereof
the
summe
is
this
,
that
wee
forsaking
our
sinnes
and
the
cares
of
this
wicked
world
,
doe
with
our
whole
heart
〈◊〉
turne
&
conuert
vnto
God
,
through
Christ
Iesus
,
who
as
hee
hath
cleansed
vs
from
our
sinnes
and
reconciled
vs
to
God
his
father
,
so
doth
hee
protect
and
defende
those
that
beleeue
in
him
amiddest
the
dangers
of
this
life
,
and
finally
causing
them
to
escape
and
surmount
all
calamities
hee
will
translate
them
into
his
owne
kingdome
,
〈◊〉
to
the
places
of
eternall
happinesse
.
To
him
therefore
with
the
father
&
the
holy
ghoste
three
persons
and
one
eternall
and
euerliuing
God
,
bee
all
blessing
,
honour
,
glory
and
dominion
for
euer
and
euer
,
Amen
.
