PARADISE
.
GEN.
17.17
.
Behold
,
the
smell
of
my
sonne
is
as
the
smell
of
a
field
,
which
the
Lord
hath
blessed
.
IT
may
be
,
that
some
among
you
,
doe
no
more
need
a
Seer
,
to
shew
you
the
mysteries
of
this
Text
,
then
Eagles
want
spies
for
the
space
of
their
flight
:
Their
eies
behold
afarre
off
.
Yet
I
must
make
bold
to
tell
you
,
that
which
some
of
you
can
scarce
beleeue
:
That
this
Text
is
Paradise
.
And
it
is
more
likely
so
,
because
the
head
of
it
is
Ecce
,
and
Christ
is
Ecce
,
the
head
of
Paradise
,
of
the
Church
,
as
the
husband
is
the
wiues
head
.
Odor
,
Filius
,
Ager
,
Benedictus
,
all
issuing
out
of
Ecce
;
as
those
foure
riuers
which
did
run
out
of
the
head
fountaine
of
Eden
.
And
out
of
Eden
went
a
riuer
to
water
the
garden
;
and
from
thence
it
was
diuided
,
and
became
into
foure
heads
.
Christ
is
Ecce
,
the
head
fountaine
of
Eden
,
propter
eminentiam
,
continentiam
,
influentiam
,
for
beautie
,
plentie
,
and
bountie
:
a
fountaine
opened
to
the
house
of
Dauid
,
Zach.
13.1
.
The
riches
of
Paradise
are
excellent
,
for
in
the
floods
of
one
riuer
is
Gold
,
&
Bdelium
,
and
the
Onix
stone
.
In
the
Gold
is
truth
,
glorie
,
and
incorruption
:
Come
forth
ye
daughters
of
Sion
,
and
behold
king
Salomon
with
the
Ecce
.
He
shall
giue
you
drinke
out
of
the
riuer
of
his
pleasures
.
In
the
Ecce
of
my
Text
,
Mercie
and
truth
are
met
together
,
righteousnesse
and
peace
haue
kissed
each
other
:
all
holy
streames
of
Paradise
.
Holy
streames
indeed
,
for
euery
one
of
them
is
a
riuer
of
this
Garden
,

2
Filius
is
truth
,
the
word
of
eternall
life
,
and
standeth
here
,
in
the
middest
of
this
little
garden
,
dropping
dewes
of
heauen
to
water
it
;
as
the
tree
of

in

Therefore
was
it
called
,

:
Christ
is

Behold
the
tree
of
life
in
the
middest
of
the
garden
,
on
whom
the
liues
of
all
the
Saints
doe

Christ
is
the

,
and
the
life
of
the

Ager
,
is
righteousnesse
:
O
inualuable
righteousnesse
of
Christ
,
where
we
gather
all
our
righteousnesse
:
for
Christ
is
made
vnto
vs
righteousnesse
.
Iste

He
is
our

,
and
we

followers
,
as

are
guided
by
their
soule
.
Thus
are
wee
made
to
flourish
like
the
Palme
tree
,
and
to
growe
like
the
Cedars
of
Lybanus
,
all

.

Benedictus
is
peace
,
our
healthfull
peace
in
our
deere

,
our
redeemer
,
whence
wee
receiue
our
heauenly
requiem
,
and
rest
from
all
our
labours
,
all
blessed
.
Thus
we
receiue
our

O

neuer

Here
you
may
perceiue
a
comely
Quadrant
of
the
Soueraigne
Ecce
,
like
that
beautiful
type
of
the
Temple
,
whose
borders
were
foure
square
.
The
Church
is
also
resembled
by
the
Quadras
:
a
pretious
stone
foure
square
,
Quadratura
significat
stabilitatem
Ecclesiae
:
the
quadrant
imports
sound
resolution
.
But
it
is
likely
that
some
will
aske
,
where
is
Dominus
,
the
great
Master
of
the
houshold
,
he
which
is
Lord
of
the
smell
,
the
Son
,
the
Shield
,
and
the
blessing
:
In
whom
,
by
whom
,
for
whom
,
&
from
whom
,
mercie
,
and
truth
,
and
righteousnesse
,
and
peace
,
and
all
things
are
.
finitiad
infinitum
.
Some
say
,
that
Isaias
was
therefore
slaine
,
You
may
remember
,
when
the
Lord
was
asked
for
his
name
,
his
answer
was
,
I
am
:
wonderfull
and
past
vnderstanding
.
When
I
awake
I
shall
be
satisfied
with
thy
Image
.
He
onely
hath
immortalitie
,
and
dwelleth
in
the
light
which
none
can
attaine
vnto
,
whom
neuer
man
saw
,
neither
can
see
.
Yet
in
all
our
walke
through
this
garden
,
wee
shall
see
his
beames
shining
vpon
it
,
and
with
faith
,
hope
,
and
loue
,
admire
his
presence
,
whose
seat
is
in
the
pillar
of
the
cloud
.
In
euery
part
we
find
three
consutes
.
-
1
First
,
historicall
narration
pleasant
,
in
Iacob
.
-
2
Secondly
,
mystical
signification
splendent
,
in
Christ
.
-
3
Thirdly
,
congruent
application
honourable
,
in
the
Prince
.
In
the
head
,
Behold
,
I
must
craue
fauour
to
walke
a
long
procession
.
The
Lord
had
promised
a
blessing
to
Abraham
,
in
the
number
and
honour
of
his
issues
:
count
the
starres
,
if
thou
canst
;
so
shall
thy
seed
be
:
numberlesse
as
starres
for
exceeding
plentie
,
glorious
as
starres
for
heauenly
beautie
.
This
promise
was
sure
,
yet
it
came
on
with
leaden
feete
;
Abraham
was
long
without
a
child
,
and
Abraham
was
longer
without
the
child
of
Promise
:
ad
aras
,
as
if
God
had
euery
day
a
consultation
with
himselfe
for
the
progresse
of
this
blessing
.
Isaac
was
not
directed
to
his
wife
,
till
hee
was
fourtie
yeares
olde
,
Gen.
26.
I
shall
not
need
to
fill
this
Ecce
with
the
various
and
perisous
temptations
,
which
came
to
Isaac
.
If
I
might
shew
them
all
,
you
all
might
maruell
that
euer
he
could
reach
this
Ecce
.
Let
this
one
instance
suffice
,
which
was
a
lamentable
distresse
vpon
him
,
Index
expurgatorius
(
fal
shood
in
fellowship
)
or
stop
them
vp
with
glosses
and
earthly
traditions
(
this
their
packe
of
knackes
)
lest
our
Chruch
should
thriue
too
fast
.
But
some
will
say
,
why
say
you
so
of
the
Papists
,
they
are
our
neighbours
?
It
is
true
,
as
the
Philistims
were
neighbours
to
Isaac
:
Enuied
welleth
at
the
next
doore
:
Here
is
the
cause
why
wee
haue
so
much
a
doe
to
keepe
cleere
waters
in
the
welles
which
our
fathers
haue
digged
:
Gen.
26.15
.
they
for
very
spite
haue
filled
with
mudde
,
and
stopped
them
vp
with
earth
,
which
they
haue
digged
out
of
their
infernall
pits
to
this
purpose
.
Thus
the
Philistims
had
enuie
at
him
,
and
filled
vp
with
earth
all
the
welles
which
his
fathers
seruants
digged
in
his
father
Abrahams
time
.
See
then
how
vnlikely
it
is
for
vs
to
hold
in
the
breath
of
diuine
knowledge
,
as
for
Isaac
to
abide
in
the
spirit
of
life
,
if
God
were
not
with
vs
.
Sed
à
Deo
adiuti
refodimus
puteos
paternos
ab
inuidis
palestinis
obturatos
:
but
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
we
discouered
our
fathers
fountaines
,
which
Philistinian
enuie
had
hidden
from
vs
.
Thus
the
Lord
was
on
Isaacks
side
:
Feare
not
Isaac
,
for
I
am
with
thee
,
and
will
blesse
thee
,
and
will
multiply
thy
seed
.
Now
then
to
goe
on
with
Ecce
,
behold
on
thing
more
strange
:
Rebecca's
two
children
were
at
strife
in
the
mothers
wombe
,
like
the
two
Hebrewes
at
strife
in
the
field
.
Potuit
esse
naturalis
causa
,
sed
accessit
mystica
&
supernaturalis
:
for
that
wonder
,
there
be
reasons
rendred
in
nature
,
but
there
was
a
supernaturall
respect
aboue
reason
.
The
two
younglings
are
both
wrestlers
,
Fratrum
diuortium
portendit
ebrionum
collisio
.
The
good
woman
perceiuing
a
strife
in
her
wombe
,
as
of
contentious
inmates
in
the
Bee-hiue
,
shee
went
to
aske
the
Lord
for
the
meaning
of
that
strife
;
Seeing
it
is
so
,
why
am
I
thus
?
I
may
not
trouble
you
with
the
bundles
of
opinions
how
shee
was
answered
,
or
by
whom
.
It
is
needlesse
to
argue
,
whether
it
was
Sem
or
Melchizedeck
,
or
they
both
at
once
;
or
it
was
Heber
,
or
(
as
some
thinke
)
it
was
Abraham
,
as
it
is
most
like
,
for
circumstance
of
time
,
place
,
and
person
.
His
person
(
aboue
the
rest
)
was
of
neerest
acquaintance
,
of
surest
faith
,
and
euident
grace
of
reuelation
,
for
hee
was
a
Prophet
.
These
are
the
rare
blossomes
of
Ecce
.
Behold
two
manner
of
people
shall
be
diuided
out
of
thy
bowels
,
faithfull
and
vnfaithfull
out
of
one
stocke
,
pure
and
impure
fruit
of
one
tree
,
true
worshippers
and
heretickes
in
one
Church
,
sincere
holy
seruants
,
and
prophane
counterfeit
obseruants
,
as
a
grape
and
a
brier-berrie
both
of
one
vine
,
a
lambe
and
a
woolfe
both
of
one
damme
.
And
on
a
day
the
sonnes
of
God
came
and
stood
before
the
Lord
,
and
Sathan
was
also
among
them
.
Abrahams
sonnes
are
compared
to
starres
and
sands
.
Starres
are
the
heauenly
sonnes
of
Ierusalem
,
as
Iaacob
:
Sands
are
filij
terrae
,
sonnes
of
the
flesh
,
earthly
proud
inhabitants
of
Babylon
,
as
Esau
.
Behold
it
was
then
posterior
dies
,
melior

,
the
latter
day
,
the
better
bird
.
The
elder
shall
serue
the
younger
.
Iaacob
did
excelle
his
brother

In
three
faire
pre-eminences
.
In
the
first
is
signified
the
spirit
of
adoption
,
by
which
we
are
sealed
.

second

In

the

,
out
of
which
there
is
no
life
.
Here
our
drie
bones
are
quickned
.
But
let
this
be
true
,
that
thus
the
elder
prerogatiue
was
fastened
to
the
younger
:
yet
(
non
obstante
)
it
could
not
be
true
in
their
specialties
,
because
still
the
elder
did
preoccupate
iurisdiction
ouer
his
brother
.
Yes
;
That
the
Lord
said
to
my
Lord
,
Sit
thou
at
my
right
hand
,
&c.
Such
is
the
superioritie
of
the
second
Adam
,
that
in
his
exaltation
he
had
a
name
giuen
him
aboue
euery
name
.
The
elder
must
serue
they
younger
:
and
glad
may
Adam
bee
,
that
he
and
his
may
doe
seruice
to
Christ
;
as
the
sheaues
which
did
reuerence
Iosephs
sheafe
:
for
in
Adam
all
die
,
but
in
Christ
are
all
made
aliue
.

But
woe
to

her

is
worse
then

If

there

because

it
,
it
were
as
if
the
blind
should
say
there
is
no
Sunne
,
because
he
cannot

.
Let
this
suffice
,
that
God
hath
chosen
his
in
Christ
,
before
the
foundations
of
the
world
were
laid
.
If
any
aske
,
how
?
let
the
Apostle
answer
:
of
his
meere
good
will
,
forestanding
all
causes
in
our
own
worthinesse
.
God
calleth
all
to
the
Church
,
and
in
eternal
and
indissoluble
prescience
espying
vessels
of
honour
,
and
wrath
;
the
one
sort
is
chosen
,
the
other
left
,
as
light
ware
at
the
ballance
:
Thou
art
waighed
in
the
ballance
,
and
found
too
light
.
Vnto
this
point
is
annexed
,
the
recogitable
oddes
betwixt
the
elections
of
God
&
man
.
Those
things
which
man
chooseth
,
are
therefore
chosen
,
because
they
are
waight
,
but
the
gold
of
gods
choyce
,
is
therefore
waight
because
it
is
chosen
.
Thus
did
God
loue
and
choose
Israel
,
not
because
they
were
better
people
then
other
,
but
they
were
better
,
because
God
did
choose
them
:
The
Lord
thy
God
hath
chosen
thee
to
be
a
pretious
people
to
himselfe
,
&
All
Popish
Atheisme
,
and
other
blasphemous
insuitations
against
God
,
for
election
and
reiection
of
Iacob
and
Esau
,
were
easily
dashed
,
if
I
should
preferre
Gods
prerogatiue
aboue
the
Popes
.
We
are
certified
long
since
,
Their
vine
is
of
Sodome
,
the
poyson
of
dragons
,
and
the
cruell
gall
of
Aspes
.
But
since
the
wicked
ones
do
thus
wilfully
foreshew
their
owne
ruine
,
let
thee
elect
be
still
gathering
more
ioy
to
their
consciences
,
and
reioyce
that
their
names
are
written
in
heauen
.
Now
then

the
strife
continued

for

birth-right
:
Sel

to
the
crowne
of
Gods
blessings
.
The
blessing
is
not
yet
declared
vpon
him
,
but
hee
is
as
sure
of
the
blessing
as
of
the
birth-right
.
Thus
was
the
preeminence
of
blessing
vpon
Ephraim
,
before
Iaacob
laied
his
right
hand
on
him
,
(
for
in
the
volume
of
thy
booke
were
all
things
written
,
before
there
was
any
of
them
,
)
but
it
was
not
manifest
till
then
.
A
Doctrine
of
comfort
is
this
to
all
which
haue
receiued
that
sauing
grace
which
is
sufficient
.
They
are
as
sure
of
glory
as
they
are
of
grace
,

for
ye
are

The

is

to

,
in
the

,
as
the
time
of
the

was
next
to
the
time
of
the
vintage
.
This
is
now
the
time
of
the
vintage
,
the
sweete
wines
of
the
Scripture
and
Sacraments
of
Christ
and
the
holy
Ghost
are
pressed
out
,
that
after
we
may
drinke
anew
of
the
fruit
of
the
vine
in
the
kingdome
of
God
.
When
yee
haue
gathered
the
fruit
of

Land
,
yee
shall
keepe
an
holy
feast
vnto

.
This
life
is
the
season
of
gathering
sweet
grapes
of
grace
,
next
is
the
feast
,
the
time
of
glorie
.
But
I
must
remember
where
I
am
and
bind
short
all
other
circumstantiall
tidings
together
.
Esau
proud
,
Esau
contemnes
his
brother
(
vt
Diobolarem
)
as
the
irefull
Woolfe
the
little
Kidde
.
Hee
sold
the
title
but
hee
purposeth
perforce
to
hold
the
inheritance
.
In
which
example
were
may
take
a
view
of
the
common
Centaures
and
Cyclopes
of
the
world
,
which
hold
al
per
fas
et
nefas
,
all
by
strong
hand
:
hee
wil
haue
all
lawfull
which
is
vnlawfull
,
and
will
be
as
the
Lion
was
,
his
owne
caruer
.
Neither
was
that
fraus
vulpeculae
wanting
in
Esaus
designes
;
for
to
strengthen
himselfe
that
hee
might
be
able
to
beare
downe
his
brother
,
hee
maketh
matches
with
two
wiues
,
without
liking
,
consent
,
or
knowledge
of
his
parents
.
He
was
as
the
Scrpent
,
which
was
more
subtill
then
any
beast
of
the
field
,
clandestinas

et

,
Moab
,
Ammon
,
Edom
,
Zidon
,
and
Heth
;
and
yet
his
great
sonne
and
heire
for
all
his
fathers
cunning
,
Make
me
sauoury
meat
such
as
I
loue
,
and
bring
it
to
mee
that
I
may
eate
,
and
that
my
soule
may
blesse
thee
before
I
die
.
By
these
thoughts
of
Isaac
we
may
perceiue
,
that
God
seeth
not
as
man
seeth
(
ante
pedes
)
only
,
for
man
purposeth
and
God
disposeth
.
All
is
Gods
to
dispose
or
transpose
at
his
pleasure
,
as
he
tranlsated
the
Egyptian
riches
to
the
Israelites
hands
,
Heere
let
Esau
complaine
that
hee
hath
waried
himself
in
the
waies
of
wickednesse
,
drawing
out
the
cords
of
vanitie
,
Esay
59.5
Luke
5.5
and
weauing
the
Spiders
web
,
and
at
length
is
become
as
the
fishers
,
which
labored
all
night
and
caught
nothing
.
In
a
word
,
these
words
of
my
text
lap
in
the
reason
of
inducement
to
Isaac
to
doe
that
which
he
meant
not
to
haue
done
.
The
Lord
is
such
a
considerate
and
powerfull
agent
in
the
businesse
,
that
Isaac
doth
cheerefull
bestow
that
good
turne
on
Iaacob
which
hee
reserued
for
Esau
.
Why
so
?
The
blessing
doth
consist
of
two
respects
,
as
a
garden
of
pleasant
fruit
,
and
delicious
smell
.
Heere
are
praiers
for
Iaccob
in
prophesies
,
and
promises
of
his
sweete
and
wholsome
fruites
:
And
heere
is
the
praise
of
Iaccob
for
his
delightfull
smell
.
Isaac
his
motiue
,
whereby
he
was
inuited
to
blesse
Iaccob
,
is
plaine
in
these
words
:
Behold
,
the
smell
of
my
sonne
is
as
the
smell
of
a
field
,
which
the
Lord
hath
blessed
.
Now
after
all
this
inference
of
Ecce
,
it
may
bee
said
to
me
as
once
it
was
to
the
Citizens
of
Myndus
:
viri
Myndij
claudite
portas
,
shut
your
gates
least
your
City
runne
out
at
your
mouth
,
and
your
little
corporation
vanish
through
your
great
heat
.
Indeed
a
great
gate
may
be
too
wide
for
a
little
pingle
;
but
albeit
I
cannot
now
cut
my
doore
lesse
,
yet
I
may
well
inlarge
this
garden
plot
to
make
it
greater
,
so
may
the
proportion
be
more
equall
.
First
then
to
fit
and
finish
vp
this
portall
,
Ecce
behold
:
The
word
is
very
specious
in
the
original
Ree
,
and
in
the
translation
vide
,
but
commonly
Ecce
,
as
if
the
meaning
were
to
call
all
the
world
to
come
and
see
,
Now
may
you
stand
vpon
the
top
of
Ecce
as
vpon
a
mount
,
and
behold
all
the
pleasures
of
this
text
,
as
the
plaine
of
Iordan
watered
eueiy
where
.
First
the
difficulty
of
this
Ecce
is
note
worthy
that
euer
Iacob
could
rise
to
this
blessing
,
Christ
ascend
to
his
glory
,
and
the
Prince
of
Wales
attaine
to
his
Principality
.
Where
was
the
Ecce
of
Iacob
when
his
father
Isaac
was
in
offering
for
sacrifice
,
The
daies
will
come
shortly
of
mourning
for
my
father●
〈◊〉
where
was
the
Ecce
of
Christ
,
the
glory
and
riches
of
his
God-head
,
Where
was
the
Ecce
of
the
Prince
,
when
the
Lion
and
the
Lions
Whelp
were
vowed
to
the
massacre
,
inconspiratione
plusquam
Catilinaria
in
the
gun
powder-treason
.
Wee
doe
read
of
Catiline
that
firebrand
of
old
,
that
to
fasten
his
confederates
in
their
mercilesse
intent
,
he
did
mingle
mans
bloud
with
wine
,
as
Pilate
mingled
the
bloud
of
the
Galileans
with
their
owne
facrifice
.
This
drinke
thus
prepared
,
hee
carried
vp
and
downe
,
to
his
partners
,
as
the
Priests
of
Rome
doe
now
beare
their
hoast
and
consecrated
wedges
,
heere
and
there
to
their
abetters
.
When
he
came
to
place
and
company
fit
to
his
purpose
,
he
did
in
this
drinke
carowse
and
swallow
vp
his
impious
vow
:
In
this
draught
all
his
associates
must
follow
him
,
to
make
their
sword
drunke
with
the
bloud
of
their
Country
,
and
wholly
to
subuert
the
present
glory
of
Rome
.
But
this
monstrous
Catilines
brood
among
vs
,
But
is
it
difficultie
alone
?
no
,
it
is
noucltie
also
.
There
are
nouelties
past
in
the
holy
Testament
,
nouelties
present
in
the
new
children
of
regeneration
,
and
nouelties
to
come
in
the
stole
of
glorie
.
The
new
Testament
was
a
noueltie
:
the
Lord
had
written
the
old
law
in
tables
of
stone
,
but
that
the
penne
of
the
Writer
should
indite
a
law
in
the
inward
parts
of
mans
heart
,
this
was
worth
an
Ecce
.
Nouitas
amaena
,
ful
of
delicate
and
healthfull
pleasure
.
Behold
the
daies
come
,
that
I
will
make
a
new
couenant
,
&c.
The
wise
man
said
in
his
time
,
there
was
nothing
new
vnder
the
sunne
,
yet
euery
regenerate
man
,
yong
or
old
,
is
a
new
creature
.
Both
these
are
true
,
because
our
new
birth
is
not
of
earth
,
but
of
heauen
,
not
of
mortall
seed
,
but
of
immortall
,
Thus
is
Iacob
a
new
man
,
a
new
creature
in
Christ
:
O
Christ
Iesus
;
Gal.
8.
Psal.
65.11
.
Vt
ignus
fortis
forti
flatu
fortius
inflammatur
minutatim
.
all
my
fresh
springs
shall
be
in
thee
,
for
thy
steps
droppe
fatnesse
.
Thus
is
the
Prince
,
a
Prince
of
God
,
Abner
his
fathers
candle
lightened
with
fire
from
the
Altar
,
whose
sweet
conditions
,
tempered
with
the
oyle
of
grace
,
beare
witnesse
,
that
he
is
not
onely
borne
of
an
earthly
king
belowe
,
but
borne
againe
of
an
heauenly
King
aboue
;
that
the
King
aboue
,
and
the
king
belowe
,
may
both
reioyce
in
their
sonne
:
Behold
the
smalle
of
my
sonne
,
&c.
But
Ecce
againe
,
behold
a
suddaine
ioy
:
sometimes
wonderfull
things
breake
out
of
their
closets
,
as
lightening
out
of
the
clouds
,
when
there
is
not
any
expectation
or
hope
attending
;
and
sometimes
when
desire
more
or
lesse
is
waiting
for
their
appearance
.
Of
the
first
sort
was
the
suddaine
light
which
came
downe
from
heauen
,
outward
,
before
the
face
of
Saul
to
astonish
him
;
There
were
some
looking
for
Christ
,
and
behold
two
men
stood
suddainely
before
them
in
shining
vestures
.
There
were
some
looking
on
Christ
,
and
behold
a
light
did
shine
suddainly
from
heauen
.
There
were
some
gathered
in
daily
expectation
of
the
comforter
(
whom
Christ
promised
to
send
)
and
suddainly
there
came
a
sound
from
heauen
,
as
of
a
rushing
and
a
mightie
wind
.
What
then
,
came
those
illustrious
messages
without
hope
,
or
no
?
Indeed
hope
was
much
weakened
,
as
one
trauailing
long
is
wearie
;
but
it
did
but
seem
weake
,
they
hoped
still
for
that
vigorous
resurrection
,
they
looked
still
for
that
glorious
ascension
,
they
longed
still
for
the
gladsome
comming
of
the
holy
Ghost
.
Matth.
24.27
.
yet
for
all
our
serious
vigilancie
commanded
,
it
shall
be
suddaine
:
As
the
lightening
which
flieth
from
the
East
to
the
West
,
so
shall
the
comming
of
the
sonne
of
man
be
.
O
blessed
Iacob
,
thy
long
promised
blessing
is
come
suddainely
,
in
a
day
thou
thoughtest
not
:
our
blessed
Sauiour
annointed
with
the
oyle
of
grace
aboue
his
fellowes
,
was
long
and
often
foretold
,
yet
is
his
comming
exceeding
suddaine
:
Therefore
call
his
name
,
make
haste
,
make
speed
,
speed
to
the
pray
,
and
haste
to
the
spoile
.
Our
gracious
Prince
his
honour
hath
stated
long
in
the
glowing
eares
of
ten
thousand
,
whose
eies
burned
with
zealous
desire
to
behold
it
.
And
behold
of
a
suddaine
the
smell
of
my
sonne
.
This
is
the
stemme
of
honour
for
which
great
Britaine
did
sacrifice
their
daily
prayers
,
our
bounteous
Queene
did
breath
out
her
iust
desires
,
our
renowmed
king
did
yeeld
his
sacred
promise
;
and
now
of
a
suddaine
is
that
ioyfull
day
come
,
the
day
of
playing
of
Organes
,
of
singing
of
birds
and
sounding
of
Trumpets
.
Now
is
the
day
come
,
in
which
king
Iames
doth
pay
his
vowes
,
his
vowes
to
God
,
his
right
to
the
Prince
,
his
honour
to
the
Land
,
his
fauour
to
the
subiect
,
his
word
to
the
Queene
,
assuredly
thy
sonne
Salomon
shall
raigne
after
me
.
O

for

the

:
Behold

Now
to
the
Smell
,
the

of

head

Here
might
I
shew

many

must

find
other

,
and
more
leisure

The
common
partition
of
Odour
is
into
good
and
euill
;
but
what
haue
wee
to
doe
with
euill
?
Quid
argijs

,
quid

:
There
is
no
communion
betwixt
God
and
Belial
:
without
shal
be
dogges
and
idolaters
,
O
blessed
Sauiour
,
these
are
the
virgins
which
delight
in
thy
sauour
:
Thy
name
is
as
an
oyntment
powred
out
,
therefore
the
virgins
loue
thee
.
But
it
is
high
time
to
distinguish
of
good
Odours
.
There
is
a
good
odour
of
pietie
,
a
sweet
sacrifice
,
Shall
I
tell
you
more
,
what
a
sauour
is
there
where
all
these
meet
in
one
soule
,
as
the
incense
of
one
altar
;
pure
religion
,
sweet
conuersation
,
true
faith
,
and
holy
loue
,
they
are
altogether
as
the
offering
of
Noahs
Altar
.
And
Noah
built
an
Altar
to
the
Lord
,
and
tooke
of
euery
cleane
beast
and
of
euery
cleane
bird
,
and
offered
burnt
offerings
to
the
Lord
.
and
the
Lord
smelled
a
sauour
of
rest
.
Such
is
the
smell
of
all
faithfull
hearts
as
the
smell
of
Noahs
Altar
to
the
Lord
:
Iaacobs
heart
is
as
Noahs
Altar
.
Behold
the
smell
of
my
sonne
.
But
I
haue
more
in
my
way
of
my
poore
readings
,
in
which
I
find
good
odours
of
many
distributions
.
There
is
one
smell
of
the
flower
of
the
Vine
,
The
Vine
is
Faith
,
the
Oliue
is
Victory
,
the
Rose
is
Charity
,
the
Lillie
is
Chastity
,
the
Violet
is
Humility
,
the
Corne-eare
is
many
cornes
,
good
workes
in
their
ripenesse
all
in
one
odour
.
Such
Vines
,
and
Oliues
,
and
Roses
,
and
Lillies
,
and
Violets
,
and
Corne-eares
were
the
Philippians
,
hee
shall
grow
as
the
Lillie
,
and
fasten
his
roots
as
the
trees
of
Lebanon
:
his
beauty
shall
be
as
the
Oliue
tree
,
and
his
smell
as
Lebanon
.
Iaacob
had
the
Vine
,
true
faith
in
his
heart
,
his
father
Abrahams
faith
:
not
an
agnus
Dei
about
his
necke
,
or
hanging
in
a
tablet
at
his
brest
,
Ioh.
12.3
as
some
abused
Saint
Iohns
Gospell
;
but
a
sound
faith
growing
within
and
without
his
heart
,
all
his
affections
as
the
branches
of
a
vine
,
for
his
Sauiour
all
the
vine
as
a
bower
to
rest
in
,
and
all
the
bower
as
the
house
filled
with
sweet
sauour
:
what
a
smell
is
the
smell
of
this
vine
.
Iacob
had
the
Oliue
victory
in
his
faith
,
Iacob
had
the
Rose-loue
in
his
faith
,
Iacob
had
a
Lilly
chastity
,
in
his
faith
a
faire
Lilly
,
within
the
borders
of
his
paradise
,
vessell
in
holinesse
.
O
honour
,
let
me
counsell
you
all
to
keep
the
smell
of
this
Lilly
.
Iacob
had
the
Violet
,
humble
deuotion
,
in
his
faith
the
Violet
groweth
low
by
the
ground
,
so
doth
humble
deuotion
to
daily
praiers
,
If
God
will
be
with
me
,
and
will
keepe
me
in
my
iourney
which
I
go
,
and
will
giue
mee
bread
to
eat
and
cloathes
to
put
on
,
so
that
I
come
againe
to
my
fathers
house
in
safetie
,
then
shall
the
Lord
be
my
God
.
Here
was
sweet
contentment
in
a
lowly
estate
:
humble
contentation
was
Iacobs
staffe
,
which
did
flourish
all
with
Violets
,
as
Aarons
Rod
did
but
with
flowers
and
almonds
;
with
this
staffe
came
I
ouer
Iordane
.
Surely
there
is
an
wholesome
breath
in
the
smell
of
this
Violet
.
Iaacob
had
the
corne
eare
the
fruites
of
faith
,
Now
Prince
of
Wales
,
where
is
thy
smell
?
Hast
thou
neither
Vine
,
Oliue
,
Rose
,
Lilly
,
Violet
,
nor
Corne-eare
?
Surely
then
thou
art
a
poore
Prince
,
and
they
are
poore
whom
God
hateth
:
Behold
here
,
the
smell
of
the
fauour
of
God
to
the
Prince
.
The
Prince
hath
them
all
as
Iacob
had
them
,
he
is
all
Suckoth
,
Suckoth
as
the
Tabernacles
of
God
,
his
eies
,
eares
,
lippes
,
heart
,
all
Suckoth
;
Tents
of
godlinesse
,
pitched
in
Rephidim
the
mansion
of
the
medicines
of
Gods
blessings
.
The
Philosophers
describe
an
house
of
desier
:
non
quidem
,
opulentam
et
ambitiosam
,
stuffed
with
the
pelfe
of
the
world
,
and
faced
with
proud
ambition
:
No
,
sed
cui
nihil
testit
in
se
supellectilis
,
with
workes
not
any
thing
of
necessarie
vse
,
〈◊〉

.
Behold
,
here
is
that
house
as
that
happy
little
world
all
furnished
with
necessaries
.
And
here
is
one
thing
more
then
all
those
necessaries
and
more
worth
,
For
whom
God
loueth
hee
loueth
to
the
end
.
This
the
smell
of
my
sonne
.
The
Prince
hath
the
Vine
,
the
Gospell
in
his
faith
:
it
is
the
fountaine
in
which
he
doth
daily
refresh
his
soule
;
it
is
the
lauour
through
which
he
doth
daily
wash
himselfe
.
This
is
his
Bason
and
Ewre
of
honour
,
the
Gospel
is
the
Ewre
,
his
heart
the
Bason
.
This
is
a
Princely
Bath
,
the
Kings
Bath
all
perfumed
with
health
,
all
with
sauing
health
.
Let
young
and
old
,
and
all
wash
themselues
in
this
Bath
.
Knights
of
the
Bath
,
all
the
which
are
souldiers
in
this
militant
life
,
vnder
the
banner
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Christ
is
the
Prince
,
who
gaue
himselfe
,
It
is
written
of
Otho
,
Thus
is
the
Prince
washed
,
The
Prince
hath
the
Oliue
victorie
in
his
faith
,
victorious
holinesse
.
It
was
told
vs
long
,
our
eyes
were
blessed
with
the
sight
of
our
most
prudent
King
,
that
he
hath
the
print
of
a
Lyon
vpon
him
:
I
doe
beleeue
it
,
though
I
did
neuer
see
it
,
that
the
Lyon
of
the
tribe
of
Iudah
is
printed
vpon
him
;
he
hath
put
on
Christ
.
And
loe
,
here
is
a
lyon
againe
,
the
print
of
a
lyon
,
the
sonne
of
his
father
;
the
rpint
of
a
lyon
,
the
image
of
Christ
,
which
the
most
gracious
Saints
doe
reioyce
to
be
.
But
where
is
the
Lyons
victorie
?
where
but
in
the
conquest
of
the
Lyon
of
Iudah
?
Thankes
be
vnto
God
,
who
hath
giuen
vs
victorie
in
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
:
masterie
against
the
sinnes
of
the
world
,
suggestions
of
Satan
,
buffets
of
the
flesh
,
blasphemy
,
intemperancie
,
scorne
,
ire
,
reuenge
,
all
common
serpents
brood
,
yet
all
killed
in
shell
;
all
common
,
as
wormes
in
the
fruit
,
yet
all
cast
away
in
the
budde
;
the
serpents
are
quelled
,
the
sweet
bud
remaineth
:
who
will
not
trie
the
smel
of
this
Oliue
?
The
Prince
hath
the
Rose
loue
in
his
faith
,
a
blessed
rose
,
a
faire
complection
,
the
complexion
of
the
fairest
,
the
beuty
of
the
Church
,
the
colours
of
Christ
,
the
white
rose
and
the
red
:
My
beloued
is
white
and
redde
,
the
chiefest
of
ten
thousand
.
There
are
diuers
kinds
of
loue
,
as
the
loue
of
nature
,
so
loue
birds
one
another
;
loue
of
consanguinitie
,
so
loue
kinsmen
;
loue
of
reason
,
so
loue
heathens
;
loue
of
grace
,
so
loue
Christians
,
which
both
loue
God
,
and
one
another
.
The
Princes
rose
is
Christian
loue
,
the
cheerefull
loue
of
Christ
.
It
is
said
,
that
loue
maketh
a
man
strong
,
rich
,
and
wise
,
and
here
it
is
prooued
;
for
the
Prince
his
loue
hath
done
marueilous
things
for
him
,
whereof
we
reioyce
.
His
loue
is
so
strong
,
that
with
no
strength
of
the
old
Sathans
,
he
can
be
pulled
from
the
truth
:
Omnia
vincit
amor
.
His
light
so
light
,
it
cannot
bee
turned
into
darkenesse
.
His
loue
so
rich
,
set
with
the
pearles
of
Gods
fauours
,
and
beset
with
the
hearts
of
the
thousands
of
Israel
,
that
he
himselfe
is
as
the
chiefest
of
the
Corinthians
,
It
is
written
of
Alexander
,
that
hee
had
a
pretious
stone
,
which
so
long
as
he
kept
it
,
did
preserue
him
from
poyson
.
I
passe
the
credit
of
that
storie
,
and
am
well
pleased
to
behold
the
Princes
rose
,
which
the
rose
of
roses
hath
giuen
him
for
a
preseruatiue
against
poyson
.
No
inchanted
tokens
of
Egyptian
women
can
deceiue
him
,
no
mincing
,
equiuncating
pursenets
of
those
Priests
can
catch
him
.
Schaenobitae
were
of
old
Sophisticall
old
women
,
which
to
seeme
faire
,
painted
all
their
spots
,
and
filled
vp
the
wrinckles
with
smooth
oyle
.
And
now
are
the
Schaenobitae
a
liue
againe
,
Iesuits
in
their
fashion
,
to
put
all
out
of
good
fashion
,
Romish
,
Spanish
,
French
,
Flemish
,
English
Schaenobitae
,
yet
here
they
loose
their
lanthornes
.
Pauones
sunt
,
some
say
they
are
Peacocks
,
because
they
haue
colours
of
an
angel
,
the
pace
of
a
theefe
,
and
the
voyce
of
a
deuill
.
These
birds
haue
sit
so
long
in
such
ease
on
their
nests
,
in
the
darke
places
of
the
kingdome
,
that
they
haue
hatched
here
many
birds
of
their
owne
feather
.
What
are
they
?
Gentlemen
,
and
Ladies
,
and
their
followers
,
Peacockes
birds
,
begot
with
child
with
many
children
,
sinnes
,
and
errors
,
treacheries
of
that
Peacocke
of
Rome
.
Thus
are
there
among
vs
many
wiues
and
children
of
fornication
.
O
say
these
of
their
dammes
,
the
dragons
drawe
out
their
breasts
:
Can
a
bird
be
taken
in
the
snare
if
there
be
no
fowler
?
Let
mee
speake
to
all
our
skilfull
women
,
which
haue
turned
after
Baal
,
and
made
Baalberith
their
God
.
I
would
aske
this
question
,
what
are
your
Priests
?
and
say
you
,
you
Clergie
men
in
England
are
vultures
and
cormorants
,
but
our
holy
Priests
are
harmelesse
gnats
.
It
is
true
deare
Ladies
,
for
our
part
,
that
in
some
things
we
sin
all
,
as
yours
do
,
and
we
arrogate
no
super-arrogant
perfections
as
yours
doe
:
when
we
haue
done
all
,
wee
are
vnprofitable
seruants
,
wee
are
all
compassed
with
our
infirmities
,
as
the
Priests
were
of
old
,
which
were
better
then
your
priests
:
and
for
the
sinnes
sake
,
we
are
bound
to
offer
for
sins
,
as
well
for
our
own
part
,
as
for
the
people
.
O
tongue
of
an
Angel
.
You
may
call
him
Barachel
,
all
blessing
,
and
bowing
the
knee
to
God
.
His
name
may
be
Barionah
,
the
sonne
of
a
Doue
,
all
spirit
of
meekenesse
,
Seruus
seruorum
,
he
will
lie
like
a
strawe
at
your
foote
till
the
blast
come
.
Vt
vipera
curuando
,
sic
iste
humiliando
ingreditur
:
As
a
viper
enters
his
crannie
by
bowing
,
so
these
enter
your
hearts
by
crowching
.
But
though
he
speake
fauourably
,
Barnabas
a
thiefe
and
a
murtherer
.
Their
brotherhood
doth
compasse
our
gallant
heads
like
a
crowne
of
rose-buds
;
but
in
the
end
it
prooueth
a
crowne
of
thornes
.
Thus
might
ye
all
haue
reported
,
man
,
wife
,
and
child
,
one
to
another
,
of
their
brotherhood
,
if
their
spirit
had
sped
at
Westminster
.
Ahohi
my
brother
is
my
thistle
and
my
thorne
.
These
are
your
ghostly
fathers
,
these
Cymerij
,
they
neuer
see
the
sunne
,
they
will
not
depart
from
vs
,
for
we
desire
not
the
knowledge
of
thy
waies
.
These
make
all
their
Proselytes
Cimerios
,
they
neuer
see
the
sunne
,
they
cannot
,
A
ha
,
I
haue
warmed
my selfe
:
loe
these
are
our
Ladies
pretious
gods
.
If
I
had
skill
in
their
tongue
,
I
could
call
them
Pedlers
in
French
,
dicunt
album
&
intendunt
nigrum
;
they
haue
an
heart
and
an
heart
,
combinations
are
daily
stronger
,
and
are
christian
connexions
more
weake
?
Giue
the
holy
Prophet
leaue
to
speake
in
this
case
.
Let
mercy
bee
shewed
to
the
wicked
,
yet
hee
will
not
learne
righteousnesse
,
no
more
then
the
Hogge
manners
,
with
a
chaine
of
Pearles
about
his
necke
.
I
would
willingly
speake
here
,
Consulo
,
praecipio
,
consentio
,
prouoco
,
laudo
,
Non
retego
culpam
,
non
punio
,
non
reprehendo
:
Participo
,
defendo
:
meum
in
caput
ista
redundant
.
All
excuses
of
ancient
acquaintance
are
but
idle
pretenses
in
this
businesse
,
miseratio
effaeminata
:
and
I
thinke
it
hath
beene
called
foolish
loue
,
to
nourish
a
Serpent
in
the
bosome
,
or
to
suffer
Wolues
to
breed
in
the
Wood
to
wast
Sheepe
.
Iesuitae
faces
Romanae
:
Surely
,
you
English
Clergy
play
the
Iauelles
with
vs
,
per
hoc
Ly.
For
those
holy
Votarists
are
goodly
torches
sent
hither
to
enlighten
our
darke
thoughts
as
Iohn
Baptist
,
who
was
a
burning
and
a
shining
candle
.
Iohn
Baptist
was
to
the
Church
as
the
candle
in
the
womans
hand
,
to
helpe
her
to
finde
her
lost
groat
:
and
the
Iesuites
are
as
the
fier
which
came
out
of
the
bramble
,
Esay
9.16
to
consume
the
Cedars
of
Lebanon
.
Yea
those
mount-backes
of
Rome
,
put
out
many
eies
,
and
giue
sight
to
none
,
ignes
fatui
,
they
walke
wilde
in
the
darke
,
blind-fold
their
followers
,
misleade
them
out
of
the
true
way
,
and
are
too
often
as
wildfier
,
but
touch
and
take
.
But
shall
I
turne
my
thoughts
from
these
witch-blasts
,
to
the
Rose
of
England
,
all
sweet
loue
to
his
Sauiour
,
all
,
and
all
inuiolable
loue
to
his
sauing
word
.
No
flatterer
hath
seduced
him
,
no
craft
hath
snared
him
,
no
canker-worme
hath
wasted
him
.
Who
should
not
loue
the
smell
of
this
Rose
?
The
Prince
hath
a
Lillie
chastitie
,
in
his
faith
a
faire
Lillie
,
growing
on
a
golden
pillar
,
the
pillar
of
honour
,
the
honour
of
the
Temple
,
the
Temple
of
God
:
him
that
ouercommeth
I
will
make
a
pillar
in
the
Temple
of
my
God
.
Looke
all
on
this
Onichinus
,
this
peerclesse
Preatle
,
alwaies
clasped
in
white
belts
,
faire
siluer
girdles
,
;
the
chastity
of
his
minde
,
body
,
gesture
,
conuersation
,
with
the
aspect
of
his
eies
,
aureum
semen
within
the
flowers
:
the
golden
seede
is
sanctitie
the
seede
fell
in
good
ground
and
hath
brought
foorth
an
hundred
folde
.
Let
euery
true
heart
here
,
call
his
soule
to
praier
.
The
Lord
grant
when
that
time
may
happely
come
,
that
his
spouse
shall
bee
chosen
among
the
honourable
women
,
that
then
the
Kings
daughter
may
be
brought
to
him
,
with
ioy
and
with
gladnesse
enter
into
the
Kings
pallace
.
So
shall
wee
then
reioice
,
and
againe
I
say
reioice
in
the
smell
of
this
Lillie
.
The
Prince
hath
the
Violet
humility
,
in
his
faith
an
elect
valley
all
of
beautifull
prospect
;
so
high
a
Prince
,
so
lowly
in
his
seruice
to
think
so
highly
of
God
,
and
so
truly
of
himselfe
:
Aquae
descendunt
ad
valles
,
God
giueth
grace
to
the
humble
,
to
bee
frequent
at
praiers
,
sermons
,
holy
quiers
;
as
if
his
cheefe
desire
were
as
Dauids
was
,
to
dwell
in
the
courts
of
the
Lord
;
to
bee
a
friend
to
the
Church
,
and
a
stay
to
the
Altar
,
as
good
Iosiah
was
.
The
Prince
hath
the
Corne-care
,
holy
workes
in
his
faith
,
as
if
hee
had
digested
that
counsell
of
the
wise-man
.
All
that
thine
hand
shall
finde
to
doe
,
doe
it
with
all
thy
power
,
for
there
is
neither
worke
,
nor
inuention
,
nor
knowledge
,
My
bowels
were
mnooued
towards
him
.
Heere
is
our
true
cause
of
ioy
without
sophistically
oppilations
.
Therefore
seeing
his
inclination
to
good
workes
by
those
spices
of
our
Sauiour
,
which
haue
spiced
him
;
wee
all
consent
in
that
concent
of
the
Canticle
of
Christ
:
Thy
Mandrakes
haue
giuen
a
smell
,
and
in
our
gates
are
all
sweet
things
.
The
Princes
words
are
often
as
the
words
of
the
seuenth
day
;
words
of
grace
,
apples
of
gold
in
pictures
of
siluer
;
Now
then
let
vs
compare
Iacob
and
Iacob
,
Hebrew
and
English
;
vterinos
fratres
,
two
twins
both
in
one
womb
of
the
Church
,
both
as
Castor
and
Pollux
,
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
&
Iaacob
:
But
I
say
Castor
is
layd
down
in
peace
and
Pollux
is
vpon
our
Ship
in
daily
aduentures
for
the
golden
flece
.
When
I
was
of
younger
yeares
,
The
holy
lambe
alloweth
vs
his
flesh
to
feed
vs
,
before
Abraham
was
I
am
.
A
lambe
without
spot
was
this
Lambe
,
The
Lord
is
my
portion
in
the
land
of
the
liuing
.
But
now
let
vs
see
the
distance
of
perfection
betwixt
Christ
&
these
two
brothers
:
Iacob

and

possesseth

Christ
is
the

,
the
true
vine
,
which
runnes
all
mercie
and
life
to
Iacob
,
and
all
wither
and

which
doe

Christ

the

,
what

not

,
hath
no

This
violet
was
remoued
from
heauen
to
the
earth
,
to
raise
vs
from
the
earth
to
heauen
.
Some
Philosophers
hold
opinion
,
that
the
dew
which
falleth
from
the
highest
part
of
that
Region
of
the
aire
,
worketh
deepest
vpon
the
earth
;
for
being
more
oylie
and
rich
matter
,
it
doth
more
fatten
the
ground
,
and
with
gentle
kisses
entice
forth
the
fruites
thereof
.
Hosoeuer
this
be
of
that
dew
,
it
is
most
sure
of
the
fattest
dewe
lesus
Christ
.
This
is
the
dew
of
the
morning
,
which
commeth
from
the
highest
,
and
falleth
lowest
,
euen
into
the
center
,
into
the
heart
of
Iacob
.
The
dew
of
heauen
is
the
cause
of
the
fatnesse
of
the
earth
,
else
hath
the
earth
no
fatnesse
:
idest
,
the
diuinitie
of
Christ
is
the
fatnesse
of
our
humanitie
.
The
Lord
giue
thee
of
the
dew
of
heauen
,
and
the
fatnesse
of
the
earth
.
Here
,
here
,
is
mans
blessed
abundance
.
This
is
Manna
,
Behold
the
smell
of
this
violet
.
But
last
of
all
,
I
haue
power
to
lay
downe
my
life
,
and
to
take
it
vp
againe
,
and
all
other
liue
by
this
.
The
spirit
of
grace
and
the
holy
Scriptures
are
the
flower
of
this
wheat
.
The
disciples
of
Christ
gathered
eares
of
corne
on
the
sabbath
day
,
and
we
here
in
England
euery
Sabbath
day
,

Thus
to

That

Behold
,
the
smell
of
my

is
as
the
smell
of

,
which
the
Lord
hath
blessed
.
I
Am
returned
to
remeditate
our

in
the
manifold

of
our
many
ioies

The
sonne
to
whom
I
am
next
now
in
my
text
,
doth
display
many
ioies
;
all
causes
of
ioy
to
vs
,
all
,
if
we
all
as
birds
of
the

,
be
in

with
this
sonne
.
Now
to
the
second
riuer
all
of
truth
.
My
Sonne
.
Heere
I
might
deale
forth
vnto
you
many
multiplicities
of
the
sonnes
of
nature
,
grace
,
and
glory
,
but
heere
Laconismus
is
best
welcome
.
There
is
a
sonne
of
nature
,
and
a
sonne
of
grace
,
which
both
haue
interest
in
this
riuer
of
the
truth
of
God
:
One
as
the
owner
and
Lord
Pooramont
,
the
other
as
tenant
and
inholder
.
The
sonne
of
God
by
nature
,
is
Iesus
Christ
the
truth
it selfe
,
and
God
of
truth
,
the
sonne
of
diuine
generation
,
the
onely
begotten
sonne
of
God
,
Iohn
3.
begotten
before
all
worlds
.
There
is
a
sonne
of
grace
,
the
sonne
of
regeneration
,
borne
againe
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
borne
vnto
glory
in
the
celestiall
Ierusalem
among
the
company
of
innumerable
Angels
.
I
might
shew
you
all
these
flesh-brands
in
mine
owne
nature
to
my
shame
;
but
my
short
time
cals
for
better
matter
.
What
mends
hath
grace
made
?
behold
,
how
good
and
ioyfull
a
thing
it
is
:
Iaacob
is
a
sonne
of
heauen
,
earth
abolished
;
a
sonne
of
the
spirit
,
flesh
mortified
;
a
sonne
of
light
,
darknesse
vanished
;
a
sonne
of
delight
,
wrath
abandoned
;
What
is
it
thinke
you
,
a
small
matter
to
become
the
Kings
son
?
Iaacob
is
Isaacs
sonne
,
and
the
Prince
is
the
Kings
sonne
,
and
they
all
are
Gods
sonnes
,
Shall
I
now
begge
a
discourse
?
There
haue
beene
euill
sonnes
of
euill
fathers
,
as
the
sonnes
of
Cain
and
Cham
:
euill
sonnes
of
good
fathers
,
as
some
sonnes
of
Dauid
:
good
sonnes
of
euill
fathers
,
as
Ezechiah
the
sonne
of
Achah
,
and
Iosiah
the
sonne
of
Ammon
:
and
good
sonnes
of
good
fathers
,
such
were
Isaac
and
Iaacob
.
The
first
sort
were
a
iust
recompence
that
they
should
bee
serued
themselues
as
they
had
serued
others
.
The
second
sort
were
vngratefull
birds
which
stained
their
owne
nest
,

good
sonnes
of
good
fathers
,
all
in
the
Church
,
as
the
lights
in
the
firmament
.
All
these
are
as
the
golden
Viols
full
of
odors
,
odoriferous
and
delectable
to
their
parents
,
as
ointment
and
perfume
reioice
the
heart
.
You
Nobles
,
Gentles
,
Merchants
,
and
Fathers
all
,
what
are
your
sonnes
?
euill
of
euill
,
or
euill
of
good
,
or
good
of
euill
,
or
good
sonnes
of
good
fathers
,
which
is
more
to
bee
desired
then
gold
.
Trie
the
smell
of
your
children
,
and
prooue
whether
your
sonnes
and
daughters
haue
beene
dedicate
to
diuels
,
as
many
were
among
the
children
of
Israel
.
ali
enigenae
,
cuckoo
birds
,
strangers
to
your
owne
country
Church
and
Prophets
,
and
liuing
sometimes
euen
in
the
middest
of
all
,
loue
not
the
heart
of
any
.
The
King
is
the
head
here
in
his
dominions
next
vnder
God
,
and
the
Prince
is
the
heart
vnder
the
head
:
your
children
loue
neither
of
them
,
no
nor
their
parents
neither
,
but
to
serue
their
owne
turne
,
and
their
great
Mistris
the
Whore
of
Babylon
.
You
may
too
many
of
you
thanke
your selues
,
you
haue
yeelded
them
to
their
course
(
as
Daedalus
did
his
sonne
in
the
fiction
)
with
wax
vpon
their
wings
,
bullis
indulgentialibus
linitas
.
Mandrabuli
more
,
worse
and
worse
.
If
you
thinke
this
reason
giuen
of
your
sonnes
ruines
be
without
reason
,
hearken
to
the
Prophet
.
Thy
father
was
an
Ammorite
,
and
thy
mother
an
Hittite
,
and
in
thy
natiuity
,
when
thou
wast
borne
,
thy
nauell
was
not
cut
,
nor
washed
,
nor
saulted
,
&c.
Good
tutors
and
teachers
should
performe
the
offices
of
good
mid-wifes
to
your
children
;
these
to
helpe
them
in
their
generation
,
those
to
further
them
in
their
regeneration
.
This
is
the
cause
that
there
are
among
vs
so
many
young
Amorites
and
Hittites
for
want
of
holy
education
.
Amorites
and
Hittites
a
bitter
people
,
cruell
rebels
,
yet
pratlers
,
which
dare
so
vaunt
themselues
,
that
they
are
euen
an
astonishement
vnto
vs
.
But
may
I
bee
so
bold
heere
,
to
aske
another
question
.
What
are
such
parents
better
then
Tantalus
,
Cambyses
,
or
Lysimachus
.
One
of
them
killed
his
sonne
of
pride
,
another
of
furie
,
and
the
third
of
foolish
loue
.
The
popish
father
is
right
as
Lysimachus
,
who
by
the
cursed
perswasion
of
a
cruell
step-mother
killed
his
sonne
,
his
valiant
sonne
Agathocles
.

Yes

vpon

to

thou
hast
imployed
Ragmag

,
with
all
the
rest
of
the
Princes
of

of

to

But
why
so
?
that
Aaron
may
beare
the
iniquitie
of
the
offerings
,
&c.
This
is
plaine
which
was
in
speciall
commanded
for
Aaron
,
and
none
other
,
wherein
he
was
the
singular
type
of
Christ
,
and
of
none
other
;
who
onely
could
take
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
,
and
none
other
,
We
poore
Ministers
haue
the
ministerie
of
reconciliation
giuen
vnto
vs
,
but
none
are
reconciled
to
God
,
but
by
Iesus
Christ
,
for
God
was
in
Christ
,
&
reconciled
the
world
to
himselfe
.
And
he
which
hath
the
highest
place
in
the
ministration
,
must
be
holy
,
but
he
cannot
be
Holinesse
:
he
must
be
true
,
but
he
cannot
be
the
Truth
;
these
are
Gods
preheminences
.
Therefore
is
this
name
Gods
onely
,
and
properly
,
Quarto
modo
,
to
signifie
that
soueraigntie
which
is
aboue
the
Popes
capacitie
.
But
what
needeth
this
attempt
(
will
some
say
)
to
cast
him
downe
,
who
hath
so
often
cast
himselfe
downe
,
like
a
blinde
man
,
who
cannot
see
,
or
a
drunken
man
which
cannot
stand
?
How
many
of
the
Popes
haue
beene
,
as
the
beast
,
for
want
of
heauenly
light
,
How
many
of
the
Popes
haue
beene
luxurious
,
with
carnall
and
spirituall
fornication
,
that
thousands
haue
walked
that
way
in
the
twilight
to
the
harlots
house
.
Thy
children
haue
forsaken
me
,
and
sworne
by
them
which
are
no
gods
:
though
I
fedde
them
to
the
full
,
yet
they
did
commit
adulterie
,
and
assembled
themselues
by
companies
in
the
harlots
house
.
Therefore
was
Papacie
called
the
kingdome
of
the
whore
.
Loe
,
where
is
his
Holinesse
?
How
many
of
the
Popes
haue
bin
Nicromancers
,
Coniurers
,
Inchanters
,
Wizards
,
(
quimalis
artibus
adepti
sunt
Pontificatum
)
which
entered
with
cruell
effusions
of
blood
,
by
falshood
,
like
a
Foxe
,
and
passing
on
for
a
time
lyon-like
,
or
like
a
Tygre
,
haue
at
length
beene
drowned
like
a
dogge
in
the
same
streame
.
Their
despite
was
great
against
the
precept
of
God
:
you
shal
not
regard
inchanters
,
themselues
being
such
.
There
is
no
sorcerie
in
Iacob
,
nor
soothsaying
in
Israel
,
much
lesse
is
Aaron
a
sorcerer
himselfe
.
For
this
sinne
,
Papacie
was
called
the
Kingdome
of
the
Dragon
.
How
many
of
them
haue
beene
wicked
Extortioners
,
and
pillers
of
many
states
,
which
haue
shifted
their
hands
like
Iuglers
,
with
all
kinds
of
beggarly
trickes
,
to
scrape
vp
the
off
all
of
kingdomes
,
and
to
emptie
them
of
prouisions
.
Haue
not
their
leane
kine
eaten
vp
the
fatte
,
their
Monkes
,
Friers
,
Seminaries
,
and
Spawne
of
that
monster
Abaddon
,
haue
sucked
as
horse-leaches
,
and
deuoured
as
Locusts
.
That
Prophesie
of
Hildegardis
is
worth
reading
,
to
make
a
shew
of
these
holy
men
,
which
for
their
greedie
worme
,
is
called
the
kingdom
of
Locusts
.
Loe
,
where
is
his
Holinesse
?
Thus
these
holy
Fathers
,
taking
paines
to
doe
euill
,
by
wasting
holinesse
,
haue
striuen
for
the
title
.
But
their
slight
counterfeits
are
now
so
conspicuous
,
that
wee
dare
to
say
,
which
they
dare
to
prooue
,
That
they
haue
too
many
of
them
,
had
no
more
holinesse
then
the
beasts
loue
towards
God
,
the
Whore
virginity
,
the
Magitian
sincerity
,
or
the
Oppressor
charitie
.
It
is
now
manifest
,
that
all
their
faire
shews
were
but
gylden
puppies
,
and
your
holy
Fathers
,
Sentinamundi
,
the
most
loathsome
puddles
of
all
the
world
.
And
for
further
assurance
,
we
appeale
to
the
records
of
those
writers
,
which
haue
espied
and
lamented
the
blots
of
the
Popes
,
as
of
common
strumpets
,
&
the
stench
of
Rome
,
as
the
Stewes
of
Babylon
.
One
seemeth
to
compare
hell
and
Popes
together
,
because
neither
can
be
satisfied
:
Si
tibi
det
sua
,
fuge
Papas
&
Patriarchas
:
hee
that
hath
an
honest
care
to
keepe
something
,
let
him
flie
the
Pope
and
his
Proctors
,
more
then
any
thing
.
In
those
dolefull
considerations
of
Romish
impieties
,
some
of
your
owne
fauourites
haue
cried
out
,
that
Rome
is
Officina
fraudum
,
claustrum
irarum
nidus
proditionum
,
commendations
not
worth
Englishing
:
and
a
bird
of
your
owne
feather
did
flie
abroad
,
crying
as
a
Screech-owle
in
your
owne
streetes
,
Exeat
aula
qui
vult
esse
pius
:
Is
not
the
Popes
impudent
ambition
easily
espied
in
the
vniust
claime
of
the
Popes
vnlawfull
title
?
Heare
an
ancient
speake
,
Colit
hic
reges
calcet
vt
omnes
:
Tantum
vt
noceat
cupit
esse
potens
?
All
his
loue
to
Kings
,
is
like
his
loue
to
his
best
morsels
,
that
he
may
deuoure
them
all
,
and
keepe
his
foote
on
their
neckes
.
I
haue
read
this
question
in
a
Friers
Sermon
,
why
there
hath
beene
peace
so
seldome
in
Westphalia
?
The
answer
is
,
propter
malam
constellationem
martis
plus
ibi
quam
alibi
se
infundentis
.
If
I
might
interpret
that
answer
,
I
should
deeme
the
Pope
to
be
Mars
inter
planetas
,
Manors
among
the
Princes
.
Surely
many
countries
are
dangerously
climated
by
the
influence
of
his
holinesse
,
and
haue
lesse
rest
by
his
predominancie
in
a
bloody
constellation
of
Cardinals
.
The
signes
of
heauen
were
appointed
for
seasons
;
O
Hazael
,
his
holinesse
is
Hazael
,
seeing
God
,
but
who
can
count
the
euils
he
hath
done
,
the
strong
cities
set
on
fire
,
the
young
men
slaine
with
his
sword
,
the
infants
dashed
against
the
stones
,
and
women
with
child
rent
in
peeces
.
I
might
goe
further
to
prooue
why
this
is
not
incredible
,
both
by
the
Chronicles
of
the
Popes
warres
,
and
by
a
reason
without
reason
,
that
none
may
punish
the
Pope
for
any
fact
.
Thus
impunitas
ausum
parit
,
ausus
excessum
:
The
Pope
is
as
the
wild
asse
,
which
for
want
of
taming
doth
kicke
downe
euery
burthen
.
One
euill
breeds
another
:
but
there
is
too
much
already
in
word
and
deed
of
this
badde
matter
.
Now
let
vs
with
ioy
looke
againe
on
the
Kings
sonne
,
trie
his
spirit
hitherto
vnvanquished
,
smell
the
sweetnesse
of
his
pretious
oyntments
,
which
the
Popes
dead
flies
haue
not
yet
corrupted
.
Fathers
,
behold
the
Kings
sonne
,
and
see
of
what
fashion
,
opinion
,
and
affection
your
sonnes
should
be
:
he
smels
as
Iacob
did
,
Iacob
did
smell
of
Christ
,
I
must
confesse
my
sorrow
of
heart
,
in
that
iust
complaint
,
for
the
faith
and
truth
are
diminished
from
among
the
children
of
men
.
There
are
many
numbers
of
them
,
like
idoles
of
the
heathen
,
which
haue
eyes
and
see
not
;
or
in
speciall
like
Harpocrates
the
dumbe
god
,
which
did
see
(
as
they
supposed
)
but
could
not
,
or
would
not
speake
.
To
all
those
,
whatsoeuer
they
be
,
we
may
truly
say
,
Quid
igitur
profuit
te
vidisse
veritatem
quam
nec
defensurus
es
,
nec
secuturus
:
As
the
nice
dame
which
can
looke
vpon
the
table
richly
furnished
with
sumptuous
prouisions
,
and
hath
no
stomacke
to
put
them
vp
.
It
hath
beene
vrged
against
the
Separatists
long
agoe
,
that
the
perfection
of
the
Church
is
aboue
,
and
not
belowe
,
in
heauen
,
and
not
on
earth
.
And
to
this
purpose
are
instances
pressed
out
of
Pater
noster
,
which
was
all
hands
without
eies
;
and
our
Father
,
which
is
all
eies
with
out
few
hands
.
But
see
here
the
true
proportion
of
true
religion
,
both
hands
to
doe
,
and
eies
to
see
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
the
Prince
,
and
the
Princesse
,
in
mutuall
armes
,
embracing
and
feeding
one
the
other
:
as
Prou.
8
Exalt
her
and
she
shall
exalt
thee
.
This
sonne
is
filius
dextrae
,
the
right
sonne
royall
,
the
sonne
of
the
right
hand
,
compendium
gratiarum
,
a
treasure
of
the
treasures
of
gladnesse
.
The
eies
of
the
multitudes
looke
on
him
,
and
the
noblest
of
all
the
Nobles
say
of
him
,
thou
art
worth
ten
thousand
of
one
of
vs
.
Behold
,
the
smell
of
my
sonne
is
as
the
smell
of
a
field
.
Heere
wee
must
leaue
the
second
riuer
,
where
mercy
and
truth
are
mette
together
in
the
Prince
,
as
the
light
and
warmth
of
the
sunne
to
reioice
together
as
two
riuers
of
Paradise
to
runne
one
with
an
other
:
So
that
the
Prince
may
happilie
say
in
the
end
;
I
haue
runne
the
way
of
thy
commandements
:
and
the
Lorde
may
say
of
the
Prince
;
Behold
,
the
smell
of
my
sonne
.
Now
are
wee
come
to
the
cordiall
waters
of
righteousnesse
.
-
There
is
among
men
,
a
Merchants
Righteousnesse
.
-
There
is
among
men
,
a
poore
mans
Righteousnesse
.
-
There
is
among
men
,
a
proud
mans
Righteousnesse
.
-
There
is
among
men
,
a
Christians
Righteousnesse
.
The
first
is
the
righteousnesse
of
a
prophane
Merchant
,
who
selles
all
his
righteousnesse
for
smoke
of
vaine
glory
.
The
second
is
the
righteousnesse
of
a
proud
Lady
,
a
proud
heart
in
a
beggers
purse
.
Thou
saiest
,
I
am
rich
and
increased
with
goods
and
haue
neede
of
nothing
,
and
knowest
not
that
thou
art
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
poore
.
But
except
your
righteousnesse
do
exceed
the
righteousnesse
of
Scribes
,
&c.
The
third
is
the
righteousnesse
of
the
man
with
a
gold
ring
and
goodly
apparell
,
who
must
euer
bee
the
best
of
the
company
.
What
hath
God
commanded
which
he
will
not
do
?
This
man
is
as
the
foole
,
which
hearing
that
God
commanded
man
to
walke
streight
,
neither
turning
to
the
right
hand
nor
the
left
,
he
would
ouer
hedge
and
ditch
,
hilles
and
houses
,
till
hee
fell
and
could
passe
no
further
.
There
is
a
iust
man
that
perisheth
in
his
iustice
,
but
be
not
thou
iust
ouermuch
.
The
fourth
is
Abrahams
righteousnesse
.
Hee
beleeued
and
it
was
counted
to
him
for
righteousnesse
So
vnderstand
this
Scripture
that
good
Christians
may
put
off
that
slander
of
Solifidians
.
For
the
true
Christan
is
not
fier
without
heat
,
or
day
without
light
:
No
,
the
way
of
the
righteous
shineth
as
the
light
,
that
shineth
more
and
more
vnto
the
perfect
day
.
This
is
Iaacobs
righteousnes
glistring
with
his
father
Abrahams
righteousnesse
,
both
righteous
in
Christ
.
The
ground
in
which
wee
find
this
current
of
righteousnesse
is
called
a
field
,
where
wee
haue
of
field
roome
good
store
.
In
the
word
of
God
we
finde
diuerse
fields
:
the
field
of
the
fatherlesse
,
the
field
of
beasts
,
ager
frumenti
,
the
corne-field
where
Christ
walked
:
hortorum
,
the
field
of
gardens
,
where
Christ
praied
;
the
field
of
bloud
&
the
potters
field
,
bought
with
the
price
of
bloud
;
and
ager
Meridianus
,
the
sun-shine
field
,
whither
Christ
is
ascended
.
This
Meridian
field
is
the
ioyfull
Theatre
for
all
true
beleeuers
,
whither
Iaacob
and
Iaacob
are
risen
with
Christ
:
For
we
know
that
we
are
translated
already
from
death
to
life
.
But
what
field
is
Iaacob
?
a
corne-field
:
so
haue
we
heard
of
him
in
the
corne-eare
,
that
his
Corne
,
and
Wine
,
and
Oile
increased
;
Faith
,
Hope
,
Let
my
beloued
come
into
this
garden
and
eate
his
pleasant
things
.
Let
come
prosperity
,
aduersity
,
or
terror
,
or
flattery
,
or
what
ill
blast
soeuer
,
Iacob
is
a
field
of
bloud
;
the
vndefiled
bloud
of
the
Redeemer
was
sprinkled
vpon
him
,
This
is
the
bloud
of
the
Testament
which
God
hath
appointed
vnto
you
.
he
hath
set
at
peace
through
the
bloud
of
the
Crosse
,
both
things
in
heauen
,
and
things
in
earth
.
Iaacob
is
a
potters
field
,
Christ
Iesus
was
laid
vp
in
this
field
,
But
shall
I
say
that
Iaacob
is
a
Meridian
field
?
yes
a
goodly
sun-shine
field
of
common
ioy
,
and
profit
to
the
Church
.
As
the
common
court
of
the
Tabernacle
was
vpon
the
sun-shine
side
,
a
faire
and
comely
passing
to
the
Church
:
Iaacob
.
This
is
the
generation
of
them
which
seeke
him
,
of
them
which
seeke
thy
face
O
Iaacob
.
Nostrum
est
rapere
regnum
coelorum
per
gratiam
quod
quis
nequeat
attingere
per
naturam
:
our
nature
being
lame
,
So
then
,
albeit
Iaacob
be
a
common
field
,
in
whose
faire
paths
and
steppes
of
faith
,
we
repaire
daily
towards
the
house
of
God
.
Yet
is
he
but
a
figure
of
a
fairer
field
;
for
Christ
himselfe
is
for
vs
:
all
our
rich
faire
common
field
.
He
is
ager
frumenti
,
where
we
haue
all
our
bread
of
life
.
ager
hortorum
,
where
all
the
Church
hath
all
her
spices
.
He
is
ager
sanguinis
,
our
mercy
,
truth
,
righteousnesse
,
and
peace
,
beeing
all
died
in
his
bloud
,
who
did
tread
the
winepresse
alone
.
Hee
was
ager
figuli
,
a
man
of
earth
,
in
all
things
like
vnto
man
sinne
onely
excepted
:
hee
bare
the
shape
of
a
seruant
in
our
potters
field
.
Yet
this
was
his
priuiledge
,
that
his
vessell
was
not
broken
.
Hee
was
pierced
with
thornes
and
scourges
,
and
bored
through
with
nailes
and
speare
,
but
he
could
not
be
broken
among
the
spoiles
of
death
:
Not
a
bone
of
him
shall
be
broken
.
Thou
shalt
not
suffer
thine
holy
one
to
see
corruption
.
Let
her
gather
among
the
sheaues
,
and
doe
not
rebuke
her
.
O
blessed
Boaz
our
Sauiour
,
what
strength
is
in
thee
for
vs
all
?
what
strong
charity
?
what
faire
righteousnesse
hast
thou
scattered
for
vs
all
to
gather
?
As
Boaz
scattered
some
of
his
sheaues
of
set
purpose
for
Ruth
;
But
all
this
while
where
is
the
Prince
?
hath
hee
no
place
heere
,
or
doth
he
beare
no
Armes
in
this
Field
?
Yes
;
now
let
all
the
worthies
of
the
world
looke
on
him
:
the
Prince
is
Hur
all
white
;
cleane
hands
,
and
cleane
heart
,
and
vpholdeth
the
armes
of
his
worthy
father
,
as
Hur
did
the
hands
of
Moses
,
to
the
discomfiture
of
our
enemies
,
〈◊〉
he
going
downe
of
the
sunne
.
The
Prince
is
a
field
of
Corne
,
What
then
,
are
all
those
sanctities
lost
in
him
?
no
,
now
let
my
tongue
touch
my
heart
,
and
let
my
voyce
shout
out
for
ioy
that
the
Prince
is
our
English
Paradise
:
Henricus
campus
meridianus
magnae
Britanniae
:
The
Lord
sent
him
out
of
the
North
into
the
South
,
and
now
is
he
becom
our
meridian
field
,
for
the
health
and
wealth
of
Christendome
.
The
Lord
hath
brought
againe
the
captiuitie
of
Sion
,
Now
shake
thy selfe
from
the
dust
,
arise
,
and
sit
downe
O
Ierusalem
,
loose
the
bands
of
thy
necke
,
O
captiue
daughter
Sion
.
Shall
I
compare
with
that
happie
time
of
our
blessed
Queene
Elizabeth
?
They
which
were
banished
in
Queene
Maries
time
for
sowing
,
were
sent
for
againe
in
Elizabeths
daies
to
reape
:
a
fauourable
recompence
of
God
,
In
former
time
,
the
people
went
downe
into
Egypt
,
and
Ashur
oppressed
them
without
cause
:
but
now
how
beautifull
vpon
the
mountaines
are
the
Watchmen
,
which
see
,
&
lift
vp
their
voyce
,
and
shout
together
.
Now
is
our
mouth
filled
with
laughter
,
Heere
is
cause
enough
for
vs
all
to
confesse
the
largesse
of
Gods
mercifull
,
true
,
and
righteous
dealing
,
in
the
performance
of
his
promise
.
I
will
haue
respect
vnto
you
,
and
make
you
increase
,
and
multiply
you
,
and
establish
my
couenant
with
you
.
A
most
happie
performance
,
that
now
we
haue
hope
for
feare
,
truth
for
doubt
,
righteousnesse
for
iniustice
,
peace
for
warre
,
right
heires
for
wrong
,
as
firre
trees
for
thorns
,
Lord
thou
hast
turned
our
captiuitie
,
as
riuers
in
the
South
.
How
did
the
ioyes
of
good
subiects
hearts
sparkle
out
at
their
eies
,
attending
to
the
Kings
comming
,
as
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
,
to
leade
his
people
.
The
King
came
first
,
and
his
Angel
came
after
,
as
the
hawke
doth
flie
by
thy
wisdome
,
stretching
out
his
wings
towards
the
South
.
It
is
written
of
the
South-winde
,
that
his
originall
is
in
the
North
;
but
when
he
passeth
the
coasts
of
the
Zodiacke
towards
the
South
,
there
to
meet
the
sunne
,
as
the
sole
Lord
of
all
those
beautifull
passages
,
then
is
he
whot
and
moist
,
and
yeeldeth
power
to
all
the
nurseries
of
Nature
,
to
worke
,
from
the
worme
that
creepeth
,
to
the
bird
which
flieth
.
If
I
doe
not
mistake
the
likenesse
,
this
is
a
likely
president
of
the
faire
arriuall
here
of
the
King
,
and
the
Kings
sonne
,
to
the
gladnesse
of
Nature
,
and
Art
,
and
Grace
,
and
to
the
common
solace
of
poore
and
rich
,
both
naked
wormes
,
and
feathered
fowles
.
Now
all
true
subiects
,
eased
of
all
their
feares
,
may
sing
vnder
their
owne
vines
.
Loe
how
our
clothes
are
warme
,
when
he
maketh
the
earth
quiet
,
through
the
South
winde
.
In
what
corners
are
those
to
be
found
,
which
doe
not
reioyce
in
this
ioy
?
Henrie
Prince
of
Wales
is
our
Meridian
field
,
richly
mantled
with
pleasant
varieties
of
high
honours
.
His
Father
Apollo
,
the
King
,
hath
watered
him
,
his
excellent
father
,
his
God
,
his
high
father
,
hath
increased
him
in
holy
infusions
of
grace
,
and
rich
ornaments
of
the
purest
Discipline
.
Now
is
the
Prince
his
Court
more
seemely
to
behold
,
then
the
bankes
of
the
Muses
,
all
bright
and
famous
,
with
faire
fountaines
of
knowledge
,
all
garnished
as
a
mellifluous
garden
,
where
many
Bees
doe
gather
hony
vnder
the
Master
Bee
,
Lord
of
the
soyle
:
Behold
,
the
smell
of
my
sonne
is
as
the
smell
of
a
field
.
Some
write
of
the
magnanimous
aduentures
of
the
Holy
Land
,
hands
,
and
hearts
,
and
all
our
aid
to
the
King
,
and
the
Kings
sonne
.
The
Gospel
is
yet
in
bondage
in
our
neighbour
countries
and
states
remote
,
and
there
is
no
Prince
in
the
world
of
more
assurance
for
Gods
assistance
,
In
my
weake
meditations
I
haue
found
,
that
God
hath
fowen
his
diuers
kinds
of
seeds
in
three
sundry
fields
:
in
Paradise
,
in
the
wide
World
,
and
in
the
soule
of
man
.
In
Paradise
a
pure
man
,
in
the
world
a
pure
word
,
and
in
the
soule
of
man
pure
seedes
of
grace
.
In
Paradise
,
the
first
man
Adam
was
made
a
liuing
soule
,
whilest
Adam
slept
,
the
enuious
man
sowed
tares
.
For
this
cause
was
I
borne
,
and
for
this
cause
came
I
into
the
world
.
Therefore
well
may
we
say
,
Except
the
Lord
had
reserued
seed
for
vs
,
wee
had
beene
as
Sodome
,
and
like
to
Gomorrha
.
Here
then
,
among
many
indifferent
questions
of
the
Astrologers
,
I
reioyce
much
in
this
one
,
to
know
where
is
the
best
influence
of
the
heauens
.
Many
men
haue
many
opinions
,
and
if
it
may
please
you
to
accept
mine
among
them
all
,
I
thinke
the
best
is
there
where
is
a
most
plentifull
prosemination
of
the
word
of
God
.
This
is
the
sacred
aspersion
,
wherewith
the
most
parts
of
our
nation
is
copiously
sprinckled
:
Therefore
Iacob
shall
reioyce
,
and
Israel
shall
be
glad
.
he
shewed
his
word
vnto
Iacob
,
his
statutes
and
his
iudgements
vnto
Israel
:
he
hath
not
dealt
so
with
euery
nation
,
For
he
which
keepeth
the
figge-tree
shall
eate
the
fruit
thereof
.
But
shall
I
speake
what
I
haue
heard
from
the
clamours
of
the
wisdome
of
the
world
,
That
this
great
allowance
of
the
word
of
God
,
is
abundant
and
superfluous
.
To
such
I
haue
offered
a
bold
(
some
will
say
a
blinde
)
answere
.
That
their
wisedom
is
the
fooles
bable
,
which
hath
said
in
his
heart
,
There
is
no
God
.
Psal.
14.1
.

There
are
too
many
wise
men
of
the
West
,
which
hold
opinion
of
common
preaching
,
as
some
Philosophers
doe
of
the
light
about
the
Southerne
pole
;
That
as
by
the
absence
of
the
Sunne
there
,
the
aire
is
not
hindred
in
his
light
;
so
by
the
want
of
ordinary
preaching
,
religion
is
not
darkened
in
her
beautie
.
Circa
polum
Australem
,
per
absentiam

.
Indeed
some
to
compare
much
preaching
,
and
too
much
Sun-shine
together
.
Perpetua
aestas
omnia
exurit
:
but
the
danger
is
more
,
ne
perpetua
hyeme
omnia
rigerent
:
lest
cold
religion
should
be
closed
vp
in
frozen
hearts
,
and
in
the
want
of
the
warmth
of
the
word
of
God
,
this
times
deuotion
become
cold
,
and
dead
as
ice
.
When
I
remember
this
miscreant
conceipt
,
it
seemeth
to
me
like
a
fowle
serpent
,
with
a
great
bellie
,
full
of
young
ones
,
all
deuourers
of
faith
.
Thus
may
you
more
easily
vnderstand
our
Sauiours
question
,
When
the
sonne
of
man
commeth
,
shall
he
find
faith
on
the
earth
?
who
knoweth
not
,
that
faith
may
be
starued
for
want
of
the
waters
of
comforts
,
and
pined
for
want
of
food
,
and
choaked
for
want
of
spirit
:
if
thou
withdrawest
thy
breath
,
then
we
are
gone
.
Thus
mans
breath
departeth
,
he
returneth
to
the
earth
,
and
his
thoughts
perish
.
What
then
must
wee
haue
nothing
but
reading
of
the
most
sure
word
of
the
Prophets
,
Now
must
I
speake
of
the
third
field
,
All
soules
are
mine
.
The
Lord
soweth
seeds
of
grace
purposely
in
our
soules
,
that
they
may
growe
and
out-growe
our
sinnes
,
as
seeds
are
sowen
in
their
seasons
to
out-grow
the
weeds
.
Therefore
euery
one
which
is
borne
of
God
,
doth
no
sinne
,
because
his
seed
remaineth
in
him
.
Heere
then
let
all
English
people
clap
their
hands
,
&
sing
lowd
vnto
God
with
a
cheerfull
voyce
,
for
this
one
instance
of
a
Princely
soule
.
In
the
troupes
of
many
miraculous
coniunctions
,
and
oppositions
,
you
may
all
behold
some
strange
ones
here
.
Rare
coniunctions
of
Maiestie
and
Humilitie
,
of
Youth
and
Wisdome
,
of
Temperance
and
yeares
of
lust
to
sin
.
What
?
Halcyons
dayes
in
summer
?
It
is
reported
that
the
Halcyon
doth
breed
in
winter
,
and
then
there
are
daies
of
peace
,
then
warres
cease
in
all
the
world
.
In
the
daies
of
winter
,
of
old
age
,
then
sinnes
cease
in
microcosmo
,
the
force
of
carnall
desires
are
not
so
fierce
against
the
soule
:
When
the
Almond
tree
shall
flourish
,
concupiscence
shall
be
driuen
away
.
Now
stirre
and
quit
your
forces
well
,
And
now
look
on
him
againe
where
you
may
perceiue
an
opposition
like
rare
,
as
is
the
coniunction
:
duellum
perpetuum
,
a
most
martiall
combat
betwixt
opportunitie
and
sinne
.
These
two
are
commonly
in
league
,
alter
in
alterius
iactantes
lumina
vultus
:
soothing
vp
one
another
as
mutuall
flatterers
.
We
shall
seldome
see
these
two
to
meet
at
any
time
without
shaking
of
hands
as
friends
;
and
hardly
are
they
separated
,
if
the
barres
of
law
be
not
strong
,
and
of
sound
vse
against
them
.
Such
is
the
common
greeting
betwixt
them
,
as
betwixt
Prosperity
and
Pride
,
which
are
seldome
perswaded
to
part
company
.
There
is
one
greeuous
sorrow
with
which
may
parents
are
painted
,
that
our
youth
doe
beare
in
their
thoughts
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
not
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
not
virgins
,
but
curtesans
.
Now
the
least
euill
word
to
young
men
takes
fire
:
youth
is
,
vt
ignis
ad
torrem
,
as
hastie
to
sinne
as
the
dry
brand
to
be
kindled
.
There
is
no
need
of
vnchaste
songs
and
wanton
plaies
to
intice
youth
to
wantonnes
,
for
they
are
apt
to
euil
,
Et
quia
facilè
vulpes
pirum
comest
,
as
wise
to
doe
wickedly
,
as
the
Fox
for
his
prey
.
Marke
then
,
O
that
mine
head
were
full
of
water
,
and
mine
eies
a
fountaine
of
teares
,
that
I
might
weepe
day
and
night
for
the
slaine
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
.
Verily
this
young
Prince
doth
with
great
ioy
draw
waters
out
of
the
welles
of
saluation
;
that
though
thousands
fall
on
his
right
hand
,

In
a
word
,
this
is
the
Phenix
bird
(
de
thure
viuens
)
which
may
teach
you
all
when
to
make
your
flight
from
sinne
.
Let
not
your
flight
bee
in
winter
,
in
the
sorrows
of
old
age
,
and
the
sorrowes
of
the
gray
head
.
It
is
a
pleasant
song
for
young
men
to
sing
in
the
spring
time
of
their
liues
:
Our
soule
is
escaped
as
a
bird
out
of
the
snare
of
the
fowler
.
Who
can
but
praise
those
birds
which
liue
in
innocencie
(
grana
comedentes
pura
)
and
hate
to
do
euill
?
Who
can
but
smile
at
the
prospect
of
those
fields
which
yeeld
plentifull
increase
to
euery
greene
hearbe
for
the
vse
of
man
,
and
will
allow
no
roome
to
harmefull
weedes
?
Loe
heere
Iaacob
and
Iaacob
are
those
birds
,
and
those
fields
;
birds
fethered
,
and
fields
clothed
with
the
righteousnesse
of
Christ
.
Now
compare
all
gardens
with
this
field
:
the
gardens
of
the
Kings
of
Iudah
and
Israel
,
or
of
Hashuerosh
;
all
the
delicate
plots
of
the
Aegyptian
,
Thebanes
,
Hesperines
;
the
fields
of
Semiramis
,
Alcuines
,
or
Spanish
,
or
Italian
gardens
,
of
all
the
Romane
deuices
.
Some
of
these
were
,
either
fantasticall
conceits
and
neuer
were
,
or
corruptible
vanity
and
are
not
,
or
momentarie
existence
and
shall
not
be
.
But
these
two
fields
Iaacob
and
Iaacob
with
their
gardener
Christ
Iesus
betwixt
them
,
are
euerlasting
fields
:
their
Cedars
,
their
high
enterprises
;
their
hisope
,
their
lowly
endeauours
of
grace
shall
neuer
perish
.
Their
leafe
shall
not
fall
,
and
beeing
placed
by
the
water
side
Iacob
shall
bring
forth
his
fruit
in
due
season
,
Behold
,
the
smell
of
my
sonne
is
as
the
smell
of
a
field
.
And
heere
I
take
my
leaue
of
this
field
.
Now
let
vs
lie
downe
in
peace
:
The
field
which
the
Lord
hath
blessed
.
I
am
at
the
last
to
speake
of
blessing
:
this
the
fourth
riuer
that
runneth
softly
,
in
valle
benedictionis
,
in
the
fall
of
Gods
blessings
.
This
the
riuer
of
peace
,
which
runneth
softly
as
the
waters
of
Siloe
:
I
could
wish
you
all
wel
bathed
in
this
water
,
and
so
commend
you
to
the
grace
of
our
English
Paradise
.
If
I
should
beginne
this
Treatise
as
Bonauenture
for
good
speede
hath
taught
me
,
Happy
are
the
people
which
are
in
such
a
case
,
yea
happie
is
the
man
which
hath
his
quiuer
full
of
them
.
This
happinesse
is
translated
beatitude
,
and
yet
is
but
temporary
,
extending
to
this
present
life
onely
.
But
this
blessing
is
commonly
called
benediction
,
Blessed
is
the
man
whose
iniquities
are
forgiuen
.
The
accomplishment
:
Blessed
is
the
man
that
doth
not
walke
in
the
counsell
of
the
vngodly
,
but
his
delight
is
in
the
law
of
the
Lord
.
This
man
thus
discharged
and
accomplished
,
is
the
blessed
subiect
into
which
beatus
and
benedictus
are
vnited
into
one
.
As
in
the
name
of
Ascher
there
is
both
blessing
and
happinesse
,
benediction
and
beatitude
,
and
shee
called
his
name
Ascher
,
blessednesse
.
Ambros
.
Interliu
.
Gen.

Blessednesse
indeed
if
we
consider
the
substance
,
for
Ascher
was
a
figure
of
Christ
,
who
enriched
vs
with
his
riches
,
that
it
is
said
of
him
excellently
:
His
bread
shall
be
fat
,
and
hee
shall
giue
pleasures
for
a
King
.
To
this
purpose
are
heere
discussed
both
an
history
and
a
mystery
.
Riches
and
honour
are
with
mee
,
euen
durable
riches
and
righteousnesse
.
Huius
inopia
ditat
,
fames
satiat
,
mors
viuificat
.
This
is
Ascher
,
his
bread
shall
be
fat
,
and
hee
shall
giue
pleasures
for
a
King
:
Thus
may
you
perceiue
blessing
and
blessednesse
well
met
in
him
,
who
hath
in
himselfe
such
power
of
blessing
,
that
he
can
make
others
blessed
.
This
happinesse
is
the
high
crowne
of
immortality
,
which
wee
all
desire
to
reach
,
as
Hester
did
the
top
of
her
husbands
Scepter
.
The
meanes
whereby
this
blessing
is
inclined
to
vs
,
for
the
way
of
peace
haue
they
not
knowne
,
they
are
all
gone
out
of
the
way
.
Their
highest
point
neerest
to
our
truth
is
this
;
that
man
hath
no
true
blessednesse
vntill
hee
be
ioyned
to
the
first
of
all
things
that
can
be
vnderstood
.
This
is
an
high
flight
,
and
far
beyond
the
sublunary
thoughts
of
baser
mindes
,
yet
far
short
of
the
mount
of
true
Diuinity
.
God
is
blessednesse
it selfe
,
and
to
bee
vnited
vnto
God
is
the
perfect
blessednesse
of
man
in
Iesus
Christ
Emanuel
,
to
knowe
him
,
confesse
him
,
and
delight
in
him
.
But
God
is
the
obiect
of
mans
faith
,
not
the
subiect
of
his
intellect
:
the
heart
of
man
is
too
narrow
a
circumference
to
compasse
God
in
his
vnderstanding
.
Therefore
is
Gods
name
incomparable
,
I
am
that
I
am
,
in
the
Present
tence
,
whom
no
power
can
shift
out
.
Some
haue
translated
more
properly
,
I
will
be
,
who
I
will
be
:
to
shew
that
God
is
able
of
himselfe
to
hold
his
being
and
happinesse
against
all
rebellion
,
Stabilisque
manet
daens
cuncta
moueri
.
To
this
purpose
is
that
spoken
of
God
;
Dei
esse
est
,
Among
the
secrets
in
the
reueiled
word
,
these
two
are
great
.
One
the
hypostaticall
vnion
of
two
natures
,
that
the
word
is
made
flesh
.
The
other
is
our
spirituall
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
O
all
yee
vacant
triflers
of
the
world
:
why
stand
you
heere
idle
as
the
men
in
the
market
place
?
What
stand
you
for
gazing
one
on
another
as
Iosephs
brethren
.
We
must
all
labour
in
the
vine
yard
,
that
we
may
receiue
wages
,
all
striue
that
we
may
be
crowned
,
all
bee
exercised
that
we
may
be
in
breath
,
non
incipientibus
sed
proficientibus
.
We
must
be
I
organimous
,
that
we
may
continue
to
the
end
&
be
blessed
.
Thus
did
the
Apostle
runne
and
continue
to
his
ioy
:
I
haue
finished
my
course
:
qui
amat
ardentius
currit
velocius
:
loue
and
great
reward
makes
labour
light
,
the
reward
is
blessednesse
.
But
it
is
high
time
to
step
out
of
this
digression
,
from
the
marke
to
the
meanes
,
from
beatus
to
benedictus
.
There
are
apparant
vnto
vs
in
holy
Scripture
diuers
blessings
of
diuers
kindes
.
Some
are
of
the
Superiour
to
the
inferiour
,
some
of
the
inferiour
to
the
Superiour
,
and
some
of
the
equall
to
the
equall
.
All
these
haue
their
speciall
distinctions
and
vse
.
When
the
vnderling
doth
acknowledge
the
goodnesse
of
the
Superiour
,
and
sendeth
vp
to
him
thankes
and
praise
for
his
kindnesse
,
My
soule
blesse
thou
the
Lord
.
And
such
a
sacrifice
of
praise
is
that
in
the
melodious
hymme
of
our
praier
book
:
O
all
yee
workes
of
the
Lord
,
blesse
yee
the
Lord
.
The
other
blessing
betwixt
equals
is
termed
benedictio
charitatis
,
when
one
good
christian
doth
pray
for
an
other
,
as
Saint
Peters
counsell
is
blesse
,
and
Saint
Pauls
,
yea
blesse
I
say
and
curse
not
.
But
heere
I
may
but
touch
and
goe
.
The
first
blessing
of
the
Superiour
to
the
inferiour
hath
this
branch
also
,
as
blessing
of
absolute
power
,
and
blessing
of
authority
,
committed
more
or
lesse
.
Blessing
of
absolute
power
hath
in
himselfe
his
preferment
aboue
all
blessings
,
as
heauen
which
droppeth
on
the
highest
trees
,
hath
his
preheminence
aboue
all
effusions
and
drops
of
trees
or
mountaines
.
Euery
good
and
perfect
gift
discendeth
downe
from
aboue
to
the
parts
below
;
from
heauen
to
earth
,
as
the
precious
ointment
went
downe
from
the
top
of
Aarons
head
to
the
beard
,
benedicere
Dei
est
causare
bonitatem
:
there
is
none
but
God
which
can
create

The
other
Superiour
blessing
is
by
commission
to
Gods
Deputies
,
which
blessing
is
either
more-common
,
or
more
rare
.
The
common
blessing
is
praier
,
sent
as
an
Angell
to
fetch
the
blessing
of
God
from
the
top
of
the
ladder
in
heauen
,
to
the
foot
of
the
ladder
on
earth
.
Thus
the
superiours
in
the
Church
(
for
which
cause
we
thinke
superiority
expedient
)
do
pray
for
the
blessing
of
God
inward
and
outward
,
and
ex
officio
,
doe
shew
that
God
will
bestow
them
wich
are
necessary
.
This
blessing
is
dayly
or
ought
to
bee
,
of
Kings
to
their
subiects
,
Pastors
to
their
flocke
,
and
Parents
to
their
children
.
The
blessing
of
the
King
to
his
subiects
,
Abraham
&c.
&
blessed
him
.
This
blessing
when
it
is
directed
according
to
the
prescript
and
allowance
of
the
word
of
God
,
is
then
of
great
power
by
the
power
of
God
annexed
by
promise
.
The
blessing
of
parents
to
their
children
is
also
of
good
vse
,
and
commendable
among
vs
in
England
,
for
the
good
speede
commonly
obserued
in
these
blessings
.
Apud

:
For
the
blessing
of
the
father
establisheth
the
house
of
the
children
,
and
the
mothers
curse
rooteth
out
the
foundations
.
I
might
here
lift
vp
some
monuments
,
on
which
it
hath
been
proued
and
written
,
how
the
blessings
&
curses
of
parents
haue
kindled
fire
of
heauen
or
hell
,
as
if
Gods
will
and
the
parents
were
all
one
.
In
this
purpose
an
heathen
speaketh
as
if
he
had
been
a
Diuine
,
in
the
skill
of
secrets
:
Si
affirmabit
pater
aduersus
nos
,
pati
nos
oportet
,
quod
ille
faciat
,
cuius
potestas
plus
potest
.
God
doth
iustly
effect
that
which
man
doth
iustly
craue
.
But
of
all
blessings
by
commission
,
that
is
the
highest
,
and
of
most
power
which
is
called
the
Patriarchall
,
or
Propheticall
blessing
.
With
this
blessing
Isaac
blessed
Iaacob
and
Iaacob
after
blessed
his
sonnes
.
This
is
called
a
blessing
of
excellency
,
for
that
those
holy
men
indued
with
the
spirit
of
Prophesie
,
did
blesse
with
the
blessing
of
God
,
which
could
not
be
supplanted
.
I
haue
blessed
him
and
he
shall
be
blessed
.
These
blessings
were
as
delectable
nuts
in
the
Church
;
because
in
them
beeing
words
of
men
,
there
was
deliuered
the
blessing
of
God
,
God
perswade
Iaphet
that
he
may
dwell
in
the
tents
of
Sem.
And
thus
is
it
happilie
with
vs
Gentiles
,
conuerted
and
perswaded
to
fetch
our
light
at
Christ
,
in
the
tents
of
Sem:
our
blessing
is
inlarged
by
him
,
and
the
Church
with
his
blessing
is
inlarged
by
vs
.
Now
then
let
me
shew
you
how
Iaacob
the
Hebrew
and
our
English
Iaacob
are
a
blessed
field
.
The
superiour
blessing
is
vpon
them
both
,
and
their
blessing
is
made
manifest
vnto
vs
in
three
most
worthy
allowances
.
The
first
is
for
scituation
,
the
second
for
plants
,
and
the
third
for
fruitfull
vantages
of
watering
.
In
the
first
Iaacob
is
a
blessed
field
,
scited
in
the
sunne
,
the
fairest
sunne
the
Sonne
of
God
which
alway
shines
.
A
blessed
scite
is
Iaacobs
conscience
,
thus
neighboured
with
the
sun
,
his
conscience
is
asweet
lodging
,
sweetned
with
the
ioies
of
Christ
,
as
his
father
Abrahams
bosome
.
O
blessed
Iacob
thy
fathers
blessing
hath
Iodged
thee
in
the
bosome
of
Christ
,
as
the
spouse
in
the
bosome
of
her
husband
.
Hee
brought
me
into
his
wine-seller
,
and
loue
was
his
banner
ouer
me
.
God
dwelling
with
Iaacob
and
Iaacob
,
is
two
waies
.
One
in
tabernaculo
personali
,
in
the
flesh
of
man
,
the
other
in
tabernaculo
mistico
,
in
the
soule
of
man
.
Heere
may
you
see
the
mysteries
applied
,
which
before
we
admired
.
In
the
manhood
of
Christ
his
body
is
become
bone
of
our
bone
;
heere
is
our
pleasant
scituation
and
our
sweete
neighborhood
.
This
lodging
of
Christ
maketh
all
the
faithfull
smell
sweete
,
the
maiestie
of
his
diuinity
beeing
at
rest
with
our
humanity
in
his
holy
incarnation
.
For
this
fauour
Iaacob
and
Iaacob
may
either
of
them
say
:
Whilest
the
King
was
at
his
rest
my
Spicknard
gaue
the
smell
thereof
.
Heere
Hezechias
his
sicke
body
recouered
,
and
Lazarus
his
dead
body
reuiued
,
that
before
,
and
this
after
,
in
the
same
power
.
Heere
our
bitter
waters
are
made
sweet
in
our
earthly
current
,
that
Christ
may
say
to
Iacob
:
I
haue
healed
this
water
,
death
shall
no
more
come
thereof
,
nor
barrennesse
to
the
ground
.
Christ
as
a
kinde
phisitian
did
vouchsafe
to
lodge
in
the
sicke
mans
bed
,
that
by
the
touch
of
his
body
the
poore
patient
might
be
healed
.
Thus
the
sicke
are
cured
as
the
diseased
woman
was
,
by
the
touch
of
his
garment
when
vertue
went
out
of
him
.
Excellens
recuperatio
per
excellentissimum
recuperatorē
,
the
vantage
of
the
faithfull
.
Man
was
much
shaken
,
torne
;
and
cast
downe
in
euerie
ioint
of
his
building
,
no
mans
merits
could
fasten
againe
one
mans
ioints
:
Christus
venit
in
carnem
,
God
became
man
to
repaire
man
,
and
to
make
vp
all
his
breaches
.
In
his
incarnation
hee
came
to
Iacobs
house
as
the
holy
visiters
into
Abrahams
tent
,
as
a
special
friend
which
brought
good
prouision
with
him
,
all
his
strength
,
skill
,
and
goodnesse
,
to
doe
for
Iaccob
all
kinde
of
good
.
The
second
dwelling
which
Christ
hath
with
Iacob
is
in
tabernaculo
mistico
,
by
his
word
,
sacraments
,
graces
,
tokens
of
his
loue
,
by
his
spirit
the
bond
of
vnity
and
comfortable
seale
of
his
sure
habitation
:
thus
is
Iaacob
a
blessed
field
.
Behold
,
I
am
with
you
to
the
end
of
the
world
.
Cant.

Psalm.
51
A
faithfull
heart
hath
a
singular
delight
to
thinke
how
Iaacob
may
raise
his
glory
and
pleasure
in
this
royall
presence
,
as
the
spouse
doth
.
My
beloued
is
as
a
cluster
of
Camphire
vnto
me
in
the
vines
of
Engaddi
.
Engaddi

,
heere
are
the
most
holy
drops
of
most
precious
Balme
trickling
into
our
consciences
,
to
refresh
and
ease
them
in
their
burning
sores
.
Here
is
our
cleane
heart
and
our
right
spirit
;
here
we
heare
of
ioy
and
gladnesse
that
the
bones
which
were
broken
may
reioice
.
Heere
wee
haue
our
happy
benedictions
out
of
this
circumfluent
spring
,
our
blessinge
which
are
worthily
decanted
in
Psalmes
,
and
ioyfully
published
in
Anthemes
of
the
giuer
and
receiuers
.
The
giuer
is
God
only
,
and
the
receiuers
are
Saints
onely
.
God
is
the
giuer
only
,
a
quo
nil
nisi
bonum
,
vt
a
sole
nil
nisi
pulchrum
,
who
onely
giueth
that
only
,
which
is
good
.
The
Saints
are
receiuers
only
,
and
none
other
haue
any
interest
,
or
are
capable
.
(
if
the
Sonne
haue
made
you
free
then
are
you
free
)
none
other
haue
any
right
in
the
liberties
of
christian
liberty
.
Thus
much
for
the
scituation
of
the
Saints
of
Israel
and
England
.
The
second
blessing
of
Iaacob
and
his
brother
,
is
in
respect
of
plants
,
the
most
louely
plants
,
the
tree
of
knowledge
and
the
tree
of
life
,
both
planted
in
Iaacob
.
This
is
eternall
life
to
know
thee
,
&c.
Here
is
the
beauty
of
Paradise
,
The
glory
that
thou
gauest
me
I
haue
giuen
them
,
that
they
may
bee
one
as
we
are
one
:
and
thus
Iaacob
and
all
the
Saints
are
one
Paradise
.
Here
the
Lord
made
to
grow
euery
tree
pleasant
to
the
sight
and
good
for
meat
;
Loue
,
Ioy
,
Peace
,
Long-suffering
,
Gentlenesse
,
Goodnesse
,
Faith
,
Meekenesse
,
Temperance
.
These
are
plants
which
our
heauenly
father
hath
planted
,
daily
increasing
with
the
increase
of
God
in
this
garden
,
The
third
blessing
of
the
field
,
is
by
the
daily
watering
of
the
plants
.
All
Iaacobs
heauenly
gifts
,
which
hee
hath
receiued
from
the
father
of
lights
,
are
daily
watered
with
shewers
from
heauen
.
Shewers
from
heauen
of
such
holy
waters
,
which
which
our
Sauiour
watered
his
Disciples
.
Now
are
yee
cleane
through
the
word
which
I
haue
spoken
vnto
you
.
So
long
as
we
are
clasped
and
barke
bound
in
the
vncleane
scurfe
of
our
corruption
,
we
cannot
prosper
in
religion
;
but
in
the
washings
of
God
we
being
cleansed
and
purified
,
are
more
prosperous
and
louely
before
the
Lord.
Moses
,
Iohn
Baptist
,
and
S.
Paul
were
but
Ministers
of
one
Baptisme
vnto
the
remission
of
sinnes
in
Iesus
Christ
.
I
liue
,
yet
not
I
now
,
but
Christ
Iesus
liueth
in
me
.
Heere
might
I
shew
you
triplicem
Paradisum
,
the
terrestriall
,
spirituall
,
and
celestiall
paradise
,
all
well
met
in
Christ
.
The
naturall
man
in
the
beauty
of
his
princely
I
mage
built
vpright
with
his
face
prone
to
heauen
,
was
our
terren
Paradise
in
Paradise
before
his
fall
.
The
spirituall
man
renued
and
borne
againe
of
water
and
of
the
spirit
,
in
oriente
fidei
constitutus
,
set
with
his
face
towards
the
day
spring
;
he
is
the
beautifull
continent
of
Gods
manifold
rich
blessings
to
man
;
and
this
is
our
spirituall
Paradise
.
The
holy
troops
of
Angels
and
Saints
in
heauen
in
their
cheerefull
recreations
&
melodious
pleasures
,
are
that
heauenly
Paradise
,
qui
est
triplex
Paradisus
.
Thinke
of
his
body
without
spot
,
and
of
his
spirit
without
staine
,
and
of
his
diuinity
without
mixtures
of
feblenesse
and
mutability
,
O
triplex
Paradisus
.
Heere
flourish
(
without
thornes
and
thistles
)
all
the
faire
flowers
of
Paradise
.
I
would
bee
glad
to
stay
heere
,
yet
I
must
passe
further
from
this
faire
contemplation
,
with
an
obiectiue
question
.
What
?
is
Iacob
a
field
without
weeds
?
No
,
such
a
field
is
Christ
;
but
neither
Iaacob
before
,
nor
Iaacob
after
,
nor
any
other
man
but
God
.
Now
then
shall
I
offer
a
challenge
in
the
name
of
this
Angell
,
to
all
the
enemies
of
Iacob
?
What
Serpent
,
Dragon
,
Beare
,
Leopard
,
Fox
,
or
Woolfe
,
Tyger
,
wild
Boare
,
Lion
,
Giant
,
or
Diuell
himselfe
,
can
roote
vp
this
field
,
thus
kept
vnder
the
shadow
of
the
almighties
wings
.
Heere
is
a
pleasant
Mount
to
stand
on
for
the
vpshot
of
this
text
.
The
prouidence
of
God
is
as
an
high
Zodiacke
ouer
Paradise
,
where
the
Lord
is
beholding
in
a
pleasant
prospect

all

This
prouidence
hath
a
long
reach
,
tam
ad

It
is
Lorica

the
fort

for

in

a
sure
defence
whither
all
celestiall
birds
do
flie
for
safetie
:
fly
to
the
mountaine
as
a
bird
.
This
prouidence
did
direct
Iacob
to
his
Patriarchall
blessing
,
and
maintained
him
in
it
.
What
though
all
the
earth
be
mooued
,
and
the
mountaines
fall
into
the
Sea
,
yet
shall
our
Paradise
be
safe
,
for
God
is
in
the
midst
of
it
.
What
if
all
the
world
stand
forth
as
Senacharibs
hoast
,
against
the
Church
,
yet
shall
it
stand
vp
:
At
thy
rebuke
O
God
of
Iacob
,
both
the
chariot
&
the
horse
are
cast
asleepe
:
here
are
they
falne
,
but
we
are
risen
and
stand
vpright
.
The
Church
of
God
is
often
represented
to
a
ship
,
and
the
prouidence
to
a
sterne
,
which
doth
direct
the
Master
&
his

,
the
King
&
the
Prince
,
and
all
passengers
in
the
ship
to
their
seuerall
blessings
,
and
guide
them
out
of
all
their

dangers
.
Thus
are
they
brought
into
peace
,
externall
,
internall

,
into

a

,
reioising
that
God
had
so
serued
a
defesance
vpon
the
plots
of
Achitophel
,
that
his

What
should
I
speake
of
that
Hungarian
great
Matthius
,
how
miraculouslie
he
was
preserued
and
enthronized
by
this
prouidence
.
I
would
willinglie
remember
many
(
if
time
could
permit
)
as
well
as
that
famous
young
Constantine
,
who
preuailed
against
those
coniured

,
Dioclesian
,
Maximinian
,
&
others
,
and
did
win
that
peace
to
the
Church
which
had
no
fellow
.
All
those
preuailes
were
effected
vnder
this
standerd
the
prouidence
of
God
.
But
once
for
all
,
with
what
an
happy
gale
of

was
that
reprised
Earle

conueyed
