Come

let
us
returne

Lord
,

torne

;
he
hath
broken

will
bind
us
up

Hosea
6.
vers.
2.
After
two
dayes
he
will
revive
us
;
the
third
day
he
will
raise
us
up
,
and
we
shall
live
in
his
sight
.
HEere
are
a
sort
of
good
people
met
in
my
text
,
and
I
hope
within
mine
eye
too
;
and
though
we
are
not
all
of
one
blood
,
yet
we
are
all
of
one
businesse
;
they
and
wee
are
now
met
,
about
a
returne
to
the
Lord
.
And
the
time
fitly
conspires
with
our
purpose
,
for
the
yeere
is
now
returned
;
the
Sun
begins
to
returne
,
and
lengthens
the
day
;
after
him
the
Spring
,
and
Fowles
will
follow
:
and
most
of
you
here
are
returned
from
your
last
yeeres
exile
,
to
your
owne
houses
,
O
stay
not
behind
in
the
best
and
chiefe
of
all
returnes
,
your
returne
to
the
Lord
.
Here
is
none
in
this
,
needes
feare
Solomons
Va
soli
,
woe
to
him
that
is
alone
;
for
if
you
will
returne
,
you
shall
have
a
whole
Nation
to
be
are
you
company
;
the
twelve
Tribes
are
now
ready
to
set
forth
:
their
way
is
our
way
,
their
case
our
case
,
even
smiting
and
tearing
,
and
their
Physitian
our
Physitian
:
oh
then
let
their
voyce
be
ours
,
and
every
one
of
us
say
to
our
neighbour
,
as
they
here
did
,
Venite
&
revertamur
ad
Dominum
,
&c.
The
words
are
a
story
of
the
egresse
,
and
regresse
,
of
prodigal
children
,
a
cleare
christall
glasse
,
wherein
may
bee
seene
the
face
,
and
perfect
proportion
of
penitent
mens
conversion
.
Now
as
Travellers
in
a
morning
,
will
not
stay
at
every
man
they
meete
,
to
enquire
the
way
,
but
having
tooke
good
direction
in
their
Inne
,
passe
on
with
speede
.
No
more
will
I
now
stand
to
dispute
with
all
expositors
of
these
many
wayes
,
which
is
the
best
,
but
leade
you
on
like
Ahimaaz
by
the
way
of
the
plaine
,
neither
marching
too
furiously
,
like
some
Iehu's
of
Rome
,
who
thinke
to
winne
Heaven
by
their
spurs
,
nor
yet
creeping
a
snailes
pace
with
our
lasie
Solifidians
,
who
would
get
to
heaven
too
when
they
dye
,
and
yet
live
with
their
armes
a
crosse
:
but
leade
you
fairely
on
,
as
Iacob
did
his
wives
children
,
and
in
your
way
desire
you
to
take
notice
of
these
observations
.
-
First
,
Israels
proposition
.
-
Secondly
,
their
reasons
.
The
Proposition
is
revertamur
ad
Dominum
,
let
us
returne
to
the
Lord
.
In
few
words
they
have
spoke
much
.
Their
reasons
.
1.
Drawne
from
Gods
Justice
,
Hee
hath
torne
,
and
he
hath
smitten
us
,
ideo
revertamur
,
therefore
let
us
returne
.
2.
Drawne
from
Gods
mercy
,
and
the
profit
which
shall
redound
to
us
,
Hee
will
heale
,
hee
will
binde
us
up
:
He
is
a
Chyrurgion
that
can
heale
all
sores
,
a
Physitian
that
can
cure
all
diseases
,
ideo
revertamur
,
therefore
let
us
returne
.
3.
Is
drawne
from
Gods
power
and
goodnesse
,
he
can
revive
and
raise
us
up
;
though
we
are
now
dead
in
misery
,
yet
he
can
revive
us
;
though
buryed
in
the
graves
of
Assyrian
bondage
,
he
can
raise
us
up
:
and
this
with
as
much
speed
as
power
;
after
two
dayes
he
will
doe
it
,
and
if
not
upon
the
second
,
yet
hee
will
bee
sure
to
doe
it
upon
the
third
,
&
ideo
revertamur
,
come
therefore
and
let
us
returne
.
Last
of
all
,
here
's
the
happy
estate
we
shall
enjoy
after
our
returne
,
We
shall
live
in
his
sight
:
now
wee
suffer
a
living
death
in
the
Assyrian
land
,
where
they
that
hate
us
are
Lords
over
us
,
but
when
once
wee
returne
to
the
Lord
,
we
shall
live
in
his
sight
.
In
the
proposition
wee
have
the
Persons
,
Israel
and
Iudah
;
their
Act
,
a
returne
;
their
Object
,
to
the
Lord
:
Wherein
they
make
:
-
1.
An
ingenuous
confession
of
their
faults
;
they
acknowledge
,
that
they
had
gone
astray
,
because
they
desire
to
returne
.
-
2.
Here
's
their
faith
,
in
that
they
durst
returne
,
had
they
not
beleeved
in
Gods
mercy
,
they
would
not
have
come
backe
to
him
.
-
3.
Their
charity
,
they
would
not
steale
to
him
in
private
,
nor
come
alone
like
Nicodemus
by
night
,
but
all
joyne
together
in
the
bands
of
love
,
with
a
venite
,
Come
,
let
us
.
-
4.
Heer
's
their
humility
,
in
that
they
confesse
,
to
the
glory
of
Gods
justice
,
with
Daniel
,
tibi
Domine
justitia
,
nobis
confusio
facierum
,
to
thee
,
O
God
,
belongs
justice
,
but
to
us
smiting
and
tearing
,
as
at
this
day
.
-
5.
Heer
's
their
hope
,
in
Gods
power
and
goodnes
,
that
as
he
can
,
so
he
will
revive
,
he
will
raise
them
up
.
-
6.
Heer
's
their
patience
,
that
they
would
tarry
the
Lords
leisure
,
not
only
to
the
second
,
but
till
the
third
day
;
and
blessed
are
all
they
that
wait
,
Isaiah
30.
Last
of
all
,
which
is
the
Crowne
of
all
,
they
should
live
in
his
sight
,
which
was
,
They
should
leade
the
life
of
Grace
here
,
and
that
should
conduct
them
to
the
life
of
Glory
hereafter
.
And
these
parts
are
distillatio
favi
,
the
voluntary
droppings
of
this
Honey-combe
;
which
I
intend
to
speake
of
with
much
plainenesse
,
the
sadnesse
of
this
time
,
and
subject
,
will
admit
no
descant
;
sicke
men
must
sigh
and
groane
out
their
words
,
the
whole
may
sing
and
be
witty
.
I
begin
with
the
persons
,
Israel
and
Iudah
,
and
their
ingenuous
confession
,
That
they
had
gone
astray
,
inferr'd
out
of
their
venite
&
revertamur
,
Come
and
let
us
returne
.
THis
life
is
a
journey
to
another
,
to
a
better
life
,
't
is
mans
way
upon
earth
,
so
said
David
,
I
am
going
the
way
of
all
the
earth
,
1.
King
.
2.2
.
and
no
long
way
neither
,
't
is
but
a
short
walke
betwixt
Cradle
and
a
Grave
:
But
as
in
a
Labyrinth
,
so
here
,
many
turnings
there
are
,
many
aberrations
,
and
therefore
the
Scripture
cryes
,
cavete
,
take
heede
,
for
straite
is
the
gate
,
and
narrow
is
the
path
which
leades
to
life
,
and
therefore
the
Prophet
Isaiah
,
ch.
30.21
.
tells
us
of
a
voyce
behinde
us
,
that
cryes
,
O
all
ye
that
passe
on
,
turne
neither
to
your
right
hand
nor
your
left
:
this
is
the
way
walke
in
it
:
The
Church
is
your
way
,
the
Priest
your
guide
,
follow
them
,
and
you
shall
finde
rest
to
your
soules
.
But
alas
we
are
men
,
&
while
we
cary
about
us
these
bodies
of
clay
,
we
shall
either
fall
,
as
the
most
righteous
man
doth
,
seaven
times
a
day
,
or
else
forsake
the
right
way
,
as
Baalam
did
,
who
followed
the
wages
of
unrighteousnes
,
2.
Pet.
2.
in
many
things
we
all
offend
,
and
who
can
say
,
that
when
pleasure
and
profit
have
beckned
to
him
,
he
has
not
beene
ready
to
say
to
God
,
as
Elisha
did
to
his
Master
,
1.
King
.
19.
Suffer
me
I
pray
thee
to
goe
kisse
them
,
and
I
will
follow
thee
:
this
is
our
misery
.
O
but
her
's
our
comfort
,
the
errors
in
our
life
are
not
like
those
in
warre
,
for
which
all
repentance
comes
too
late
,
no
,
being
out
of
the
way
we
may
get
in
againe
;
in
the
valley
of
Achor
,
there
was
the
doore
of
hope
left
open
for
us
,
Hos.
2.15
.
and
we
have
a
Saviour
,
that
tooke
compassion
on
them
that
were
out
of
the
way
,
Heb.
5.2
.
who
sent
forth
his
Disciples
to
be
guides
and
leaders
to
all
the
World
;
who
lift
up
their
voyces
like
Trumpets
,
who
cry
,
heus
vos
,
O
all
yee
that
are
out
of
your
way
,
make
haste
backe
againe
,
ye
that
have
turned
aside
,
returne
,
this
is
your
way
,
walke
in
it
.
But
what
is
it
that
so
makes
us
loose
our
way
?
O
't
is
sinne
,
and
therefore
it
is
called
transgressie
from
gressus
,
our
going
;
and
whereas
it
promiseth
us
a
nearer
way
and
a
fairer
,
as
theeves
doe
the
true
men
,
when
they
leade
them
into
a
wood
,
yet
alas
't
is
meere
deceit
,
and
therefore
called
the
deceitfulnesse
of
sinne
,
Heb.
3.13
.
'T
is
Gull
,
a
tricke
which
the
grand
Cheator
put
upon
our
Mother
in
Paradise
,
who
promised
her
the
nearest
way
to
Divinity
,
but
shee
found
the
cleane
contrary
,
Serpens
seduxit
,
the
Serpent
hath
deceived
me
and
led
me
out
of
the
way
.
In
Hebrew
the
same
word
goes
for
sinne
and
error
,
because
every
sinne
is
an
error
,
a
turning
out
of
the
way
which
God
commands
us
to
walke
in
,
nonne
errant
omnes
,
saith
Solomon
,
Proverbs
14.
Doe
not
all
sinners
erre
?
yes
they
doe
:
we
may
see
it
in
two
places
,
2.
King
,
21.9
.
where
wicked
Manasseh
,
who
drew
Israel
into
heinous
abominations
,
is
said
to
have
led
them
out
of
the
way
;
Gods
way
,
and
the
way
of
life
,
into
the
Divels
way
,
and
way
of
death
:
Manasseh
led
Israel
out
of
the
way
:
The
second
is
in
the
53.
Psalme
3.
God
looked
downe
from
heaven
upon
the
children
of
men
,
to
see
if
any
would
understand
and
seeke
after
God
,
but
hee
findes
,
they
are
all
gone
out
of
the
way
:
some
had
bought
Farmes
,
and
must
goe
see
them
;
some
yoakes
of
Oxen
,
and
must
goe
prove
them
,
and
some
had
marryed
wives
,
and
must
goe
bed
them
;
that
is
,
their
affections
,
like
Sisera
were
nailed
to
the
earth
,
and
the
wayes
of
God
not
once
thought
on
:
yet
let
all
worldly
wanderers
know
that
truth
of
Solomon
:
There
is
a
way
that
seemes
right
to
a
man
in
his
owne
eyes
,
yet
the
end
thereof
is
death
:
And
though
sinne
may
set
a
man
a
chaire
,
as
it
did
the
scorner
,
in
the
1.
Psalme
;
or
a
stoole
,
as
it
did
in
the
94.
Psalme
,
yet
they
must
quickly
be
diseased
of
both
,
and
lye
in
Hell
,
Psal.
49.
No
Chaire
of
State
,
nor
Stoole
of
ease
there
.
Ther
's
none
of
us
I
am
sure
that
would
endure
that
man
,
who
in
a
strange
place
(
in
foule
weather
)
should
purposely
set
us
out
of
our
way
,
especially
we
being
weary
,
our
beasts
tyred
;
our
Inne
a
great
way
off
,
and
the
night
at
hand
;
surely
if
ever
we
met
with
that
man
again
,
our
blood
would
rise
at
him
,
and
we
should
have
somewhat
to
say
,
yet
sinne
leades
all
out
of
the
way
,
the
way
to
heaven
,
and
who
is
angry
who
falls
out
with
that
?
It
leads
the
old
man
out
of
his
way
,
who
should
make
haste
home
,
death
being
close
at
his
heeles
;
and
it
leads
the
young
man
out
of
his
way
,
and
betrayes
him
to
theeves
which
wound
his
conscience
,
and
rob
him
of
his
innocence
;
and
often
time
casts
him
into
a
pit
,
the
pit
of
despaire
,
from
whence
there
is
no
redemption
.
And
therefore
,
seeing
young
and
old
;
seeing
all
of
us
,
like
sheepe
,
have
gone
astray
,
and
have
turned
to
our
owne
wayes
,
Isaiah
53.6
.
let
us
make
haste
backe
againe
:
and
seeing
,
with
the
Prodigall
,
we
have
gone
into
a
farre
Countrey
(
every
sinner
goes
farre
from
heaven
,
and
the
God
of
it
)
our
mouthes
being
fill'd
with
laughter
,
and
our
tongves
with
joy
,
let
us
come
backe
by
Weeping-Crosse
;
and
as
travellers
love
good
company
,
we
have
in
my
Text
all
the
Israel
of
God
,
who
having
,
like
us
,
travelled
into
the
wildernesse
of
Sinne
,
are
now
making
haste
backe
againe
,
their
way
is
our
way
;
their
home
,
our
home
:
let
their
faith
bee
our
faith
too
;
and
their
voyce
our
voyce
,
we
stirring
up
one
another
as
they
here
doe
,
venite
&
revertamur
,
Come
,
let
us
returne
.
So
much
for
the
persons
and
their
ingenuous
confession
:
I
come
to
the
next
thing
,
the
Act
,
which
they
resolve
upon
,
revertamur
,
Let
us
returne
.
BVt
can
a
man
returne
when
he
will
?
Hath
hee
power
,
as
to
sinne
,
so
to
convert
himselfe
from
it
?
Are
not
the
hearts
of
men
in
the
hands
of
God
,
who
turnes
them
like
the
rivers
of
water
?
Why
then
doth
not
the
Lord
say
,
Egoreducam
,
I
will
bring
them
backe
,
but
suffers
them
to
take
it
out
of
his
hands
with
a
venite
,
Come
,
let
us
returne
?
I
answere
,
they
are
both
true
;
and
the
second
supposes
the
former
;
our
returne
,
Gods
preventing
grace
;
by
which
being
led
,
we
freely
goe
,
and
the
Lord
brings
us
backe
to
him
,
yet
not
without
our selves
;
that
is
,
God
doth
so
reduce
man
to
himselfe
,
that
we
are
neither
refractory
nor
idle
,
but
contribute
to
our
owne
happinesse
,
as
Ionadab
the
sonne
of
Rechab
did
in
the
1.
of
King
.
10.
when
Iehu
call'd
to
him
,
give
me
thy
hand
,
ascend
my
Chariot
;
so
we
must
obey
the
sweet
motions
of
precious
Grace
,
which
some
men
resist
to
their
owne
damnation
.
T
is
true
,
the
Graces
of
God
insinuate
themselves
by
secret
wayes
,
and
the
impressions
of
the
will
are
extreamely
nice
;
all
that
past
is
,
is
a
dreame
,
and
the
future
a
cloud
where
thunders
murmure
in
the
darke
:
and
though
the
matter
be
plaine
,
to
wit
,
no
man
comes
to
Christ
,
except
the
Father
draw
him
,
Ioh.
6.
yet
the
manner
how
,
is
most
hidden
and
secret
.
God
drawes
every
man
,
yet
not
violently
by
the
head
and
shoulders
;
but
rather
by
the
eares
,
with
sweet
and
gracious
perswasions
.
I
let
them
with
the
cords
of
love
,
Hos.
11.4
.
God
led
,
but
they
followed
;
and
leads
by
peacefull
love
,
no
rough
violence
:
As
the
Sun
,
who
breaks
neither
doores
nor
windowes
to
enter
into
houses
,
but
penetrates
mildly
with
his
gentle
beames
;
so
Grace
finds
a
quiet
passage
into
mans
soule
;
which
like
a
chaste
love
,
being
fairely
woo'd
,
is
most
willing
to
be
won
.
Indeed
,
from
the
beginning
it
was
not
so
;
in
our
creation
there
was
Gods
hand
,
faciamus
hominem
,
Gen.
1.
let
us
make
man
;
but
in
our
conversion
there
is
(
if
I
may
so
say
)
but
digitus
Dei
,
the
finger
of
God
,
no
absolute
irresistable
power
,
for
then
man
might
be
saved
without
himselfe
,
and
all
the
rewards
of
Vertue
would
perish
in
the
world
.
But
redemption
was
not
wrought
to
make
men
idle
,
and
therefore
the
Scripture
divides
the
childe
,
sometimes
it
gives
it
to
Gods
grace
,
sometimes
to
man
working
by
grace
.
I
will
draw
them
,
saith
the
Lord
,
Chap.
11.
and
they
shall
seeke
me
,
in
the
vers
.
before
my
Text.
But
to
leave
the
dispute
,
and
come
to
the
practise
:
The
Lord
at
this
instant
,
speakes
to
every
one
that
heares
me
,
to
returne
;
and
offers
grace
sufficient
,
to
all
that
will
goe
about
it
.
Will
you
stand
still
as
Lots
wife
did
;
and
thinke
to
be
ravished
to
heaven
by
some
fatall
decree
?
fie
no
:
though
mans
soule
bee
Gods
spouse
,
as
't
is
in
the
2.
Chap.
ver.
19.
sponsabo
te
mihi
,
yet
he
must
enjoy
thy
love
by
willing
contract
,
not
by
ravishment
.
And
therefore
lasie
Faith
adew
,
let
us
acquit
our selves
like
men
,
like
Christians
,
and
use
that
Grace
which
is
now
offered
,
and
which
exercise
will
improve
;
and
seeing
the
gracious
Lord
of
heaven
and
earth
,
knockes
at
the
doores
of
our
hearts
,
to
come
backe
,
let
us
answere
him
with
David
paratum
est
cor
meum
Domine
,
My
heart
is
ready
,
O
God
,
my
heart
is
ready
;
and
seeing
he
calls
to
us
by
his
Prophet
,
Iere.
3.22
.
O
yee
disobedient
children
,
returne
,
and
I
will
heale
your
backslidings
;
let
us
take
up
that
answere
which
the
Prophet
made
for
them
,
Behold
we
come
unto
thee
,
for
thou
art
the
Lord
our
God
.
Thus
much
for
the
Act
revertamur
:
I
come
to
the
Object
,
to
whom
,
that
is
,
ad
Dominum
:
Let
us
returne
To
the
Lord
.
PEccantes
recedunt

saith
Saint
Ierome
,
Sinners
wander
from
God
,
by
the
distance
of
affections
,
not
of
place
;
they
may
goe
from
his
mercies
,
they
can
never
goe
from
his
judgements
the
Prodigall
childe
,
from
his
fathers
house
,
went
afar
off
;
but
as
by
sinning
,
we
depart
from
God
;
so
by
forsaking
it
,
we
come
backe
againe
;
neither
can
our
conversion
be
right
,
unlesse
it
end
in
him
who
is
Alpha
and
Omega
.
If
thou
wilt
returne
,
O
Israel
(
saith
the
Lord
)
returne
to

Iere

some
did
returne

but
it
was
not

High

of

they
returned
from
one
sinne
to
another
,
as
dogs
to
the
vomit
,
or
the
sow
that
was
washed
,
to
wallow
in
the
mire
:
but
these
are
the
Devils
returnes
,
a
malo
ad
pejus
;
ours
must
be
to
the
Lord
:
Turne
ye
unto
him
from
whom
ye
have
deeply
revolted
,
Esay
21.
from
whom
we
have
strayed
,
to
him
we
must
goe
backe
:
Against
thee
onely
have
I
sinned
,
Psal.
51.
and
therefore
to
thee
onely
will
I
returne
,
Esay

Well
,
these
men
did
so
,
and
to
the
honour
of
their
faith
be
it
first
spoken
,
that
although
they
had
sinned
against
heaven
,
and
the
Lord
of
it
,
and
were
of
sonnes
become
rebels
,
yet
they
knew
,
God
remained
unchangeable
,
and
if
they
would
returne
,
he
would
be
still
their
father
:
though
they
had
lost
their
way
,
they
had
not
as
yet
lost
their
faith
,
they
beleeved
God
would
bee
gratious
,
though
they
had
beene
sinners
.
And
this
sparke
of
faith
did
kindle
in
them
a
holy
fire
of
Charity
,
which
is
the
next
thing
observeable
in
their
friendly
compellation
,
venite
,
come
let
us
.
Though
every
man
had
gone
after
his
owne
lusts
,
and
scattered
their
wayes
to
strange
gods
,
Ier.
3.13
.
yet
now
they
will
not
onely
mend
one
,
but
one
another
,
such
is
their
Charity
,
that
they
will
not
steale
,
no
not
to
heaven
,
but
stirre
up
all
to
go
;
you
heare
no
lasie
Solifidians
creditè
,
nor
the
Centurions
Ite
,
goe
thou
,
go
he
,
but
the
Saints
community
,
venite
,
come
let
us
.
And
this
was
that
which
proved
their
faith
to
bee
quick
and
legitimate
:
Faith
in
God
,
neither
ought
,
nor
can
bee
without
charity
to
our
neighbour
:
Faith
is
a
good
huswife
and
lives
by
her
worke
,
she
cryes
for
them
as
Rachel
did
for
issue

Non

saith
St.
Paul

Shee
seekes
not
her
owne
;
she
was
not
so
nobly
borne
to
be

and

like
the

St.

cals
it
a
present
from
heaven
,
the
top
and
Zenith
of
all
vertues
,
it
is
the
gate
of
the
Sanctuary
,
which
leades
us
to
the
vision
of
the
Trinity
,
't
is
the
double
spirit
,
which
Elisha
required
,
wherewith
to
love
God
and
our
neighbour
.
You
are
not
much
to
afflict
your selves
to
become
perfect
:
(
saith
St.
Augustine
)
Love
God
,
and
then
doe
what
you
will
:
And
if
you
would
know
whether
your
love
to
God
be
reall
;
mark
how
you
love
your
neighbour
;
by
how
much
the
lines
draw
nearer
to
one
another
,
by
so
much
the
more
they
approach
the
Center
:
by
how
much
the
nearer
you
approach
to
your
neighbour
in
love
,
by
so
much
the
nearer
you
are
to
God
.
In
the
old
Law
the
Iewes
were
commanded
to
lift
an
Oxe
or
an
Asse
out
of
the
Pit
,
into
which
they
were
fallen
:
Numquid
Deo
cura
de
Bobus
?
What
,
hath
God
care
of
Oxen
?
surely
he
hath
more
of
men
,
by
how
much
man
comes
nearer
to
his
Nature
,
than
does
the
Oxe
or
the
Asse
:
And
it
was
our
Saviours
charge
to
St.
Peter
Luke
22.
Thou
being
converted
,
strengthen
thy
brethren
:
Peter
,
lovest
thou
me
?
then
feede
my
sheepe
.
Wee
are
members
of
that
one
body
,
whose
head
is
Christ
:
and
as
in
the
naturall
,
so
in
this
mysticall
body
;
one
member
has
neede
of
another
member
:
the
head
is
to
instruct
the
hand
,
and
the
hand
to
guard
the
head
;
the
eye
must
see
for
the
foote
,
else
they
will
both
fall
into
the
Ditch
:
And
this
St.
Paul
calls
the
fulfilling
of
the
Law
,
Rom.
13.10
.
For
the
Law
commands
no
more
than
to
love
:
And
a
more
delicate
warre
(
saith
Chrysologus
)
was
never
heard
of
,
than
to
conquer
all
by
love
:
and
St.
Cyprian
observes
,
that
all
the
volumes
of
the
Scriptures
are
to
be
found
in
this
one
word
,
Love
,
in
this
all
religion
hath
her
consummation
.
Surely
Charity
is
a
sacred
flame
,
kindled
in
our
breasts
by
the
God
of
Nature
;
't
is
the
soule
and
life
of
the
whole
World
;
it
knowes
no
more
how
to
hide
it selfe
,
than
fire
does
in
straw
;
for
as
fire
will
bewray
it selfe
by
light
and
heate
,
so
will
Divine
Charity
;
it
gives
light
by
holy
examples
,
and
heat
by
pious
admonition
,
teaching
and
admonishing
one
another
,
Col.
3.16
.
The
Donatists
would
to
heaven
alone
,
as
wee
have
some
,
who
will
allow
salvation
to
none
,
but
them
of
their
faction
:
whereas
the
blessed
St.
Paul
would
have
ventured
to
be
accursed
for
the
salvation
of
his
brethren
,
and
these
good
men
here
judged
it
,
in
glorious
piety
,
a
piece
of
repentance
,
to
be
repented
of
,
to
returne
to
the
Lord
alone
;
fearing
(
perhaps
)
GOD
would
give
them
that
answer
,
which
Ioseph
did
the
Patriarchs
:
Gen.
42.
You
shall
not
see
my
face
,
unlesse
you
bring
your
brother
with
you
:
this
made
them
move
together
like
the
fingers
of
one
hand
,
like
the
eyes
of
the
same
head
;
and
in
love
,
that
might
invite
the
eyes
of
Angels
,
locke
arme
in
arme
,
and
as
if
they
had
had
but
one
soule
,
to
say
with
one
voyce
,
venite
,
come
let
us
.
Note
againe
out
of
their
venite
,
what
we
may
think
of
those
,
who
neither
returne
to
God
themselves
,
nor
suffer
others
,
but
are
as
the
Authors
of
their
Schisme
,
so
the
hinderers
of
their
conversion
.
Truely
we
may
fafely
judge
,
that
they
are
not
of
Christs
fold
who
mis-leade
his
sheepe
:
and
it
was
a
sinne
,
which
made
Lucifer
the
Divel
to
draw
the
Angels
away
from
God
;
and
they
who
on
earth
goe
about
to
divide
Christs
seamlesse
coat
,
the
Church
;
shew
that
they
are
not
members
of
his
body
.
Union
builds
Gods
Church
,
but
Schisme
puls
it
downe
:
and
judge
you
,
whether
it
be
not
a
greater
sin
then
Idolatry
,
when
it
was
punished
with
a
greater
vengeance
then
Idolatry
;
the
greatest
Idolatry
of
Israel
was
to
be
punished
with
the
Sword
,
Ex.
32.
but
to
destroy
Church
Rebels
,
the
Lord
did
a
new
thing
on
earth
;
and
made
that
earth
which
fed
the
peacefull
,
devoure
the
factious
Israelites
,
who
went
downe
quicke
into
the
grave
,
and
because
they
were
so
unworthy
to
live
,
the
Lord
scarce
permitted
them
to
dye
:
but
gave
them
that
deadly
vae
of
our
Saviour
,
Matth.
11
7.
Woe
to
them
by
whom
offences
,
come
.
It
was
Ieroboams
brand
set
upon
him
by
God
himselfe
,
that
he
made
Israel
to
sinne
,
and
brought
that
Schisme
into
the
Church
,
which
rent
10
Tribes
,
not
onely
from
the
Scepter
,
but
the
God
of
Iudah
:
As
for
himselfe
,
hee
lived
to
see
his
Altars
cracke
under
the
horrour
of
his
new
religion
,
and
his
posterity
were
so
closely
pursued
by
the
wrath
of
God
,
that
in
the
revolution
of
a
short
time
,
there
was
not
a
handfull
of
the
dust
of
his
house
left
alive
upon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
and
the
miserable
Tribes
whom
he
seduced
,
were
lost
in
forraigne
captivity
,
and
scattered
as
so
much
dust
before
the
wind
,
or
as
so
many
strawes
upon
a
wrought
sea
.
And
thus
(
in
Eusebius
)
the
famous
Schismaticke
Novatus
,
swore
all
his
Communicants
upon
the
Sacrament
,
that
they
should
adhere
to
his
Sect
,
and
never
more
returne
to
the
Orthodox
Cornelius
.
The
Church
at
unity
with
her
children
,
is
the
fairest
among
women
,
but
when
once
torne
in
sunder
,
by
severall
Factions
,
she
prooves
like
the
Levites
divided
Concubine
;
the
horrour
and
detestation
of
every
eye
.
The
speediest
way
to
set
a
man
at
variance
with
God
,
is
to
be
at
opposition
with
his
brother
;
and
what
a
shame
is
it
,
that
Theeves
and
Murderers
should
goe
more
friendly
to
hell
,
than
Christians
doe
to
he
even
.
O
that
our
Novatian
brood
,
they
of
the
separation
,
would
consider
this
,
who
dispose
Heaven
to
〈◊〉
but
them
of
their
brother
and
sisterhood
;
would
they
would
remember
,
That
heaven
was
made
for
more
then
for
themselves
,
though
they
entitle
God
to
a
cruell
Decree
,
and
passe
the
sentence
of
Reprobation
,
upon
all
that
are
not
as
mad
as
themselves
:
Yet
maugre
their
malice
,
all
are
their
brethren
that
can
say
,
Our
Father
;
brethren
by
a
threefold
tye
that
is
not
easily
broken
,
by
the
same
Father
,
God
;
by
the
same
mother
,
the
Church
;
by
the
same
Redeemer
,
Christ
:
And
therefore
I
will
beseech
all
Christians
,
in
the
powerfull
words
of
an
Apostle
,
1.
Cor.
1.10
.
by
the
Name
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
that
they
would
be
perfectly
joyned
together
in
the
same
judgement
,
and
the
same
minde
,
that
yee
all
speake
the
same
things
.
And
if
ye
now
hope
to
reestablish
your
broken
peace
with
God
,
venite
&
revertamur
ad
Dominum
,
come
let
us
,
&c.
And
so
I
passe
from
the
proposition
,
with
its
adjuncts
,
faith
and
charity
,
to
the
reasons
,
whereof
the
first
is
drawn
A
Iustitia
Dei
,
from
Gods
Iustice
.
For
he
hath
torne
,
and
he
hath
smitten
us
.
ANd
this
may
seeme
a
strange
reason
,
that
a
man
should
returne
to
him
,
by
whom
he
is
sore
wounded
;
and
kisse
that
hand
,
to
whose
severity
he
owes
the
losse
of
blood
;
as
if
David
should
embrace
Saul
for
running
at
him
with
a
javelin
.
Yet
such
is
the
wholesome
power
of
affliction
,
that
whom
faire
words
could
not
returne
,
rough
blowes
will
bring
backe
againe
;
and
the
Prodigall
childe
did
more
at
the
urgence
of
hunger
and
could
,
than
at
the
teares
,
and
oratory
of
his
Father
.
Ionah
in
faire
weather
would
be
running
from
God
,
but
the
tempest
and
the
Whale
brought
him
backe
againe
.
Nay
,
a
Dungeon
freed
Manasseh
from
the
Pit
of
Hell
;
had
he
not
beene
chained
in
Babilon
,
he
had
gone
on
in
sinne
,
till
hee
had
beene
bound

into

This
people
,
who
in
prosperity
,
(
like
Balaam
)
rode
poast
to
sinne
,
yet
when
Divine
vengeance
drew
upon
them
,
as
the
Angel
did
upon
him
,
then
downe
upon
their
faces
,
and
cry
,
If
it
displease

Lord
,
wee
will

These
who
before
made
the
holy
one
of
Israel
to
cease
,
yet
now
the
rod
is
upon
them
,
sue
to
him
without
ceasing
,
and
verifie
that
which
the
Lord
spake
in
the
verse
before
,
in
angustijs
manè
requirent
me
,
in
their
afflictions
they
will
seeke
me
earely
.
Truely
in
this
,
men
use
God
,
as
children
doe
fruite
trees
,
throw
stickes
at
them
in
faire
weather
,
but
when
once
a
storme
comes
,
runne
under
them
for
shelter
.
The
Lord
could
not
otherwise
scowre
Israel
,
but
with
the
file
of
afflictions
;
they
would
not
looke
towards
their
Maker
,
untill
the
destroyer
was
come
forth
;
nor
turne
backe
,
till
judgement
trode
on
their
heeles
:
this
indeede
prevailed
more
with
them
,
without
speaking
a
word
,
than
God
,
and
all
his
Prophets
could
with
their
passionate
Sermons
.
The
Almighty
threatned
them
two
verses
before
this
:
I
will
be
a
Lyon
unto
Ephraim
,
and
as
a
yong
Lyon
to
the
house
of
Judah
;
I
will
teare
,
even
I
,
and
none
shall
rescue
them
:
yet
threatning
would
doe
no
good
,
no
newes
as
yet
of
their
conversion
;
but
when
the
wrath
of
God
had
brought
the
Assyrian
troopes
into
their
land
,
and
they
beganne
to
bathe
their
swords
in
their
bowels
,
then
every
man
to
his
knees
,
O
Israel
!
venite
&
revertamur
,
come
,
and
let
us
returne
to
the
Lord
.
O
how
powerfull
is
Justice
to
save
,
when
grace
comes
with
it
:
these
,
who
before
forgat
God
and
themselves
;
yet
now
in
their
miseries
remember
both
:
they
,
who
before
sought
after
pleasures
and
profits
,
yet
now
when
the
Lord
slew
them
,
then
they
sought
him
,
Psal.
78.
'T
is
true
,
Reprobates
will
not
owne
God
in
his
Judgements
,
unlesse
extreame
;
nothing
can
startle
some
but
thunder
;
yet
good
natures
will
repent
at
the
first
blow
,
and
like
gracious
children
,
kneele
to
the
mothers
for
mercy
at
one
whipping
.
These
men
could
discerne
the
Lord
through
the
thickest
troopes
of
the
Assyrian
Armies
,
and
in
the
middest
of
their
swords
,
confesse
it
was
his
hand
,
not
King
Iareb
,
nor
Salmanaser
,
nor
chance
,
but
Dominus
rapuit
,
the
Lord
hath
smittenus
.
And
thus
,
as
in
Sampsons
riddle
,
Out
of
the
Eater
came
forth
meate
,
when
out
of
this
tearing
Lyon
they
could
gather
the
honey
of
comfort
,
making
Gods
wrath
an
argument
of
his
love
,
and
returne
they
will
,
because
he
hath
smitten
them
.
Now
their
argument
may
bee
framed
thus
:
'T
is
Gods
Nature
(
say
they
)
to
punish
where
he
affects
,
and
to
chasten
every
sonne
whom
he
loves
:
Now
like
a
just
father
,
he
hath
smitten
us
,
but
to
breake
our
stomacks
,
not
our
bones
;
though
he
punishes
our
sinnes
,
yet
he
pitties
our
humanity
;
like
a
wise
Chyrurgion
he
has
torne
us
,
yet
not
to
kill
,
but
cure
our
festered
sores
:
hee
is
salus
Israel
,
Jer.
3.
the
health
of
Israell
;
therefore
let
us
returne
.
And
thus
,
like
Iob
,
they
acknowledge
affliction
commeth
not
out
of
the
dust
,
nor
misery
spring
out
of
the
earth
;
and
therefore
resolve
with
that
Champion
of
heaven
,
Though
the
Lord
teares
and
slaies
us
,
yet
will
we
trust
in
him
.
And
happy
are
they
who
so
kisse
the
sonne
,
when
he
is
first
angry
,
and
fall
upon
their
knees
,
before
his
whole
displeasure
bee
arose
;
a
teare
may
doe
that
with
God
in
time
,
which
afterwards
a
shower
of
blood
cannot
.
But
thrice
miserable
they
,
who
when
they
feele
the
rod
,
yet
will
not
see
the
hand
,
but
arme
themselves
with
Past-boord
against
the
murthering
Canon
,
and
begge
of
the
creature
helpe
against
the
Creator
.
Thus
Asa
in
his
disease
sought
to
the
Physitian
,
not
the
Lord
:
thus
Iobs
Wife
in
her
husbands
misery
,
when
he
should
have
kneel'd
to
Prayer
,
fell
to
cursing
:
Thus
wicked
Ahaziah
turn'd
from
the
God
of
Israel
,
to
seeke
helpe
from
Baalzebub
,
the
god
of
Eckron
;
but
all
these
knockt
at
a
wrong
doore
,
and
tooke
great
paines
to
goe
to
hell
:
Thou
turnest
man
to
destruction
:
(
saith
David
)
Againe
thousai'st
,
come
again
ye
children
of
men
:
And
as
Hannah
sung
,
1
of
Sam.
2.
It
is
the
Lord
that
kils
and
makes
alive
,
that
brings
downe
to
the
grave
,
and
lifts
up
againe
,
ideo
revertamur
,
cries
Israel
,
therefore
let
us
returne
:
and
this
is
the
first
argument
:
the
second
is
drawne
,
A
misericordia
dei
,
from
Gods
mercy
.
He
will
heale
,
he
will
binde
us
up
.
A
Metaphor
taken
from
Physitians
and
Chyrurgeons
:
the
Septuagint
turnes
it
,
alligabit
sicut
fascijs
,
he
will
binde
us
up
as
with
swathes
,
as
Chyrurgeons
doe
sores
till
they
are
whole
:
St.
Ierome

,
linteola
,
Linnen
ragges
put
by
a
Chyrurgeon
into
wounds
,
to
eate
out
the
corrupt
matter
.
Indeed
in
Israels
recovery
the
Lord
used
much
Art
,
and
played
the
skilfull
Chyrurgeon
:
first
he
applyed
applyed
sharpe
corrosives
to
eate
out
the
festered
corruption
;
judgement
to
eate
out
sinne
;
then
he
suppled
their
broken
spirits
with
his
mercy
,
and
swathed
them
with
a
gratious
pardon
:
so
David
:
Hee
forgives
thy
sinnes
and
heales
althy
infirmities
,
Psal.
103.
Their
disease
would
admit
no
Physitian
but
God
,
to
him
alone
belong
the
issues
of
life
and
death
:
the
balmes
of
Gilead
were
antidotes
too
weake
;
for
the
oyle
of
the
Scorpion
must
heale
his
owne
stinge
,
and
the
sight
of
the
Brazen
Serpent
expell
the
poyson
of
the
fiery
Serpent
.
In
the
chapter
before
,
ver.
13.
When
Ephraim
saw
his
sicknesse
,
and
Iudah
his
wound
,
then
went
Ephraim
to
the
Assyrian
,
and
sent
to
King
Iareb
for
helpe
,
yet
could
he
not
heale
,
nor
cure
you
of
your
wound
.
No
said
Ier.
3.
in
vaine
is
salvation
hoped
for
from
the
Hils
and
mountaines
(
the
Kings
and
great
men
of
the
earth
.
)
God
is
the
health
of
Israel
,
ver.
23.
so
that
now
they
conclude
with
Solomon
,
Proverbs
21.
There
is
neither
prudence
,
nor
councell
,
nor
wisedome
against
the
Lord
:
What
is
the
Physitian
over
his
patient
without
God
?
but
a
busie
Ant
,
striving
to
put
life
into
a
mountaine
.
There
is
no
flying
from
him
,
but
to
him
;
from
the
hand
of
his
justice
,
to
the
armes
of
his
mercy
,
and
looke
how
much
the
arme
in
length
exceedes
the
hand
;
by
so
much
his
mercy
,
to
the
penitent
,
is
extended
beyond
his
justice
.
O!
this
is
a
safer
Sanctuary
,
than
was
Ierusalems
hallowed
Temple
:
his
favour
is
a
stronger
protection
,
than
ever
were
the
hornes
of
the
Altar
,
and
therefore
the
Prophet
calls
them
,
the
sure
mercies
of
David
:
mens
mercies
are
sometimes
cruell
,
alwaies
deceitful
;
but
Gods
are
sure
mercies
,
such
as
never
failed
any
soule
that
trusted
in
him
.
And
though
the
same
Physicke
which
helpes
an
Ague
,
will
not
cure
a
Fever
,
yet
the
same
mercy
which
helpes
the
soule
of
one
sinne
,
can
cure
it
of
all
:
Returne
to
me
,
(
saith
the
Lord
)
and
I
will
heale
all
thy
Rebellions
,
Jer.
3.22
.
And
therefore
out
of
this
booke
,
let
me
take
up
one
peeble
,
to
throw
against
the
brow
of
the
Gyant
Despaire
:
though
the
Lord
,
like
an
inraged
Lyon
,
does
smite
,
and
teare
us
with
his
judgements
,
yet
wee
here
learne
,
if
we
will
returne
,
he
wil
heale
us
,
hee
will
binde
us
up
,
and
why
will
he
?
O
,
because
with
him
there
are
multitude
of
mercies
,
with
him
there
is
plenteous
redemption
;
and
with
this
hope
,
Israel
in
captivity
,
did
now
even
guild
their
chaines
.
It
was
prophesied
in
the
fourth
of
Malach.
ver
.
the
second
:
Vnto
them
that
feare
my
name
shall
he
come
,
with
healing
upon
his
wings
:
Who
is
(
Hee
)
that
shall
come
?
O
't
is
Messiah
the
Saviour
of
the
World
,
hee
shall
come
with
wings
,
to
shew
his
speede
,
that
he
will
even
flye
to
be
mercifull
.
Secondly
,
he
shall
come
with
infinite
vertue
,
and
unspeakable
comfort
,
hee
shall
come
with
healing
upon
his
Wings
;
and
therefore
never
feare
your
sanabit
,
but
God
will
heale
,
and
bind
you
up
;
and
this
is
the
second
argument
:
The
third
is
drawne
,
A
potentia
,
&
bonitate
Dei
,
from
Gods
power
and
goodnesse
.
After
two
dayes
hee
will
revive
us
,
the
third
day
hee
will
raise
us
up
.
AMong
many
opinions
,
of
these
dayes
,
I
will
name
but
one
,
and
that
is
of
them
,
who
by
two
dayes
,
understand
a
short
time
,
by
the
third
,
a
long
time
,
and
both
of
them
uncertaine
,
whose
accomplishment
they
might
not
know
,
but
ought
to
expect
,
and
blessed
is
he
that
waites
,
saith
the
Prophet
,
Dan.
12.
but
cursed
is
he
that
saies
with
the
King
of
Israel
,
Why
should
I
waite
upon
the
Lord
any
longer
,
2.
King
.
6.33
.
Now
if
two
dayes
bee
taken
for
a
short
time
,
then
the
argument
runs
thus
:
The
time
wherein
we
are
to
be
afflicted
,
is
no
long
time
,
therefore
never
despaire
,
't
is
but
two
dayes
,
no
more
,
and
therefore
(
O
yee
seede
of
Abraham
)
beare
your
Crosse
with
patient
spirits
,
your
afflictions
are
not
everlasting
afflictions
,
though
heavinesse
may
endure
for
a
night
,
yet
joy
will
come
in
the
morning
,
and
if
not
the
first
,
yet
sure
enough
upon
the
second
,
Post
biduum
,
after
two
dayes
he
will
revive
us
.
But
if
the
third
day
bee
taken
for
along
time
,
then
thus
:
The
Lord
can
raise
a
carkasse
,
as
well
after
three
dayes
,
when
it
beginnes
to
smell
and
putrifie
,
as
the
first
day
and
houre
it
dyed
.
Elishas
Coffin
raised
a
man
that
had
beene
many
yeares
dead
,
as
easily
as
Elias
did
the
childe
that
had
been
so
but
a
few
houres
.
Now
if
Prophets
could
doe
thus
,
surely
the
God
of
those
Prophets
could
doe
much
more
;
and
therefore
,
although
three
daies
(
that
is
along
time
)
we
have
laine
in
the
grave
of
our
captivity
,
yet
the
Lord
can
raise
us
up
.
Some
have
undertaken
to
shew
these
three
dayes
in
the
Chapter
before
my
Text
,
at
whose
,
14.
ver.
the
Lord
said
,
He
would
be
a
Lyon
to
Ephraim
,
and
Iudah
,
and
would
teare
them
as
a
Lyon
doth
his
prey
,
and
sell
them
for
nothing
to
the
Kings
of
Assyria
and
Babylon
:
and
this
may
be
the
first
day
,
Dies
Crucis
,
&
Mortis
,
The
day
of
their
death
.
Secondly
,
at
the
15.
ver.
I
will
goe
saith
the
Lord
to
mine
owne
place
,
I
will
wash
mine
hands
of
Israel
,
as
a
people
that
are
dead
,
and
buried
;
they
shall
lie
in
desperate
captivity
without
Prince
,
Priest
,
Ephod
,
and
Teraphin
,
and
this
is
the
second
day
,
Dies
sepulturae
,
The
day
of
their
buriall
.
Thirdly
,
the
Lord
sayes
in
that
same
ver.
he
would
not
forsake
them
for
ever
,
Donec
,
Vntill
they
acknowledged
their
faults
,
and
sought
him
,
no
longer
:
shewing
that
after
those
dayes
,
of
death
,
and
buriall
,
hee
would
returne
,
and
put
new
life
into
his
people
;
which
is
to
be
understood
,
not
carnally
,
but
spiritually
;
and
respects
not
onely
their
deliverance
out
of
Babylon
,
but
their
freedome
from
the
slavery
of
sinne
,
and
hell
,
to
be
accomplished
ere
long
by
Emmanuel
,
the
Savior
of
the
world
.
Now
,
out
of
their
Vivificabit
we
may
learne
,
that
mans
best
life
comes
from
Gods
grace
:
unlesse
he
revive
us
with
his
Spirit
,
wee
are
dead
in
sinne
,
like
the
Widow
in
pleasure
:
1
Tim.
5.
She
was
dead
,
though
alive
.
Secondly
,
these
men
buried
in
miseries
;
cry
,
Vivemus
,
We
shall
live
;
to
teach
,
that
life
is
to
be
hoped
for
in
the
jawes
of
death
;
and
though
the
Grave
gapes
never
so
wide
,
yet
it
cannot
devoure
the
Article
of
our
Resurrection
.
Wherefore
my
spirit
and
flesh
shall
rest
in
hope
;
for
though
after
my
skin
,
wormes
destroy
this
body
,
yet
with
these
eyes
I
shall
see
God
.
Thirdly
,
here
are
Gods
children
in
the
darke
night
of
Captivity
,
raising
arguments
of
comfort
,
to
helpe
one
another
;
teaching
that
man
should
never
despaire
of
Gods
goodnesse
,
or
his
owne
Salvation
,
but
to
beleeve
in
hope
,
though
against
hope
:
He
that
is
good
to
himselfe
,
neede
not
feare
that
God
will
be
ill
to
him
.
Would
time
permit
,
I
might
shew
you
how
this
Text
was
verified
upon
Christ
,
and
how
upon
each
Christian
;
how
Christ
had
these
three
dayes
of
Death
,
Buriall
,
and
Resurrection
,
upon
whom
God
did
let
fly
,
like
an
enraged
Lyon
,
did
teare
,
and
smite
him
in
the
day
of
his
fierce
wrath
;
and
how
each
Christian
must
drinke
after
him
in
this
bitter
cup
,
and
in
this
life
passe
through
the
Iewes
purgatory
.
But
I
hasten
to
the
period
of
all
,
which
like
Iobs
latter
end
,
is
better
than
his
beginning
,
which
stands
like
a
beloved
harbour
beyond
a
churlish
sea
;
which
looks
like
a
cleare
Heaven
after
a
battaile
of
clouds
,
and
thunder
;
't
is
Visio
Dei
after
all
these
tearings
,
and
smitings
,
deaths
,
and
burials
,
Vivemus

We
shall
live
in
his
sight
.
ANd
this
is
no
meane
happinesse
,
to
live
in
Gods
sight
;
in
the
last
Chapter
,
the
Lord
turned
his
backe
upon
them
,
and
did
what
he
threatned
,
Ier
7.15
.
I
will
cast
you
out
of
my
sight
:
And
this
Cain
confessed
to
be
no
light
punishment
,
but
one
greater
than
he
could
beare
.
Gen.
4.14
.
Behold
,
thou
hast
driven
mee
out
this
day
from
the
face
of
the
earth
,
and
from
thy
face
shall
I
bee
bid
;
and
it
shall
come
to
passe
,
that
every
one
that
findes
mee
,
shall
slay
mee
.
Some
affirme
,
that
wheresoever
Caine
set
his
foote
,
the
earth
trembled
:
and
Procopius
adds
a
tradition
,
that
hee
perpetually
saw
certaine
Spectres
with
swords
of
fire
,
which
brought
horrible
affrightments
upon
him
;
the
truth
whereof
I
know
not
.
Yet
this
I
am
sure
of
,
no
sword
could
be
more
fiery
than
that
of
his
conscience
,
which
every
moment
,
with
hidden
launches
,
did
open
his
breast
and
made
him
thinke
every
creature
he
met
,
owed
him
a
murder
.
And
such
is
the
estate
of
every
one
whom
God
turnes
his
backe
upon
;
but
now
,
it
was
Israels
comfort
,
that
the
Lords
face
was
turned
to
them
;
his
favour
,
and
protection
;
and
though
hitherto
they
had
been
cast
out
of
both
,
yet
now
they
should
live
in
his
sight
.
In
a
word
,
the
life
which
the
Prophet
here
meanes
was
primarily
,
a
temporall
life
,
secondarily
,
an
eternall
life
;
absolutely
the
life
of
Grace
,
by
consequence
,
that
of
Glory
:
So
the
Chaldee
para
.
renders
my
Text
,
vita
donabit
nos
in
diebus
consolationis
qui
venturi
sunt
,
in
die
resurrectionis
mortuorum
suscitabit
nos
,
&
vivemus
coram
eo
.
That
is
,
wee
shall
leade
a
happy
life
here
,
and
a
glorified
life
hereafter
:
these
two
following
one
another
,
like
the
twinnes
out
of
Rebecca's
wombe
;
the
later
laying
hold
upon
the
former
,
and
more
then
these
two
,
no
covetous
Jew
could
desire
.
I
cannot
stay
to
shew
you
how
this
Prophesie
was
verified
upon
Israel
&
Iudah
;
whom
the
Lord
,
after
seventy
yeares
captivity
,
raised
from
the
graves
of
Assyrian
bondage
,
and
brought
them
back
to
that
Ierusalem
,
which
they
beheld
with
as
many
tears
of
joy
,
as
they
remembred
with
sorrow
,
when
they
sate
down
by
the
Waters
of
Babylon
;
where
again
they
lived
in
Gods
sight
,
until
new
sinnes
provoked
a
more
consuming
wrath
,
and
the
Romans
,
for
crucifying
theire
innocent
Messiah
,
made
the
Jewes
blood
as
cheape
as
their
mothers
teares
.
The
few
sands
which
are
yet
behinde
,
shall
run
forth
in
a
short
review
of
my
Text
,
by
way
of
application
;
and
so
I
le
commend
you
to
God
.
Come
let
us
returne
to
the
Lord
&c.
HAd
Hosea
uttered
his
Prophesie
the
last
yeare
,
it
would
have
beene
hard
to
say
,
whether
hee
meant
Israel
or
England
:
the
Sceanes
are
the
same
,
onely
the
Actors
differ
;
both
of
us
have
beheld
a
Tragedy
commenced
in
our
owne
blood
:
Ierusalem
bore
the
first
part
,
London
the
second
.
Lord
how
are
we
spoyled
?
said
the
Prophet
of
them
;
and
may
not
I
say
so
of
this
place
?
A
City
undone
,
and
no
man
the
richer
:
Above
1200
slaine
,
and
no
sword
seen
;
Lord
how
are
we
spoyled
?
How
is
Ierusalem
become
a
desolate
widow
?
It
was
the
Lamentation
of
Ieremiah
,
and
may
it
not
be
revived
upon
London
?
how
was
she
forsaken
,
not
onely
of
her
children
,
but
of
her
God
,
and
many
moneths
sate
,
like
Rachel
,
weeping
for
her
children
and
would
not
be
comforted
because
they
were
not
.
Your
doores
which
were
used
to
be
opened
to
your
friends
,
were
shut
up
by
disease
;
and
the
very
casements
whereat
you
tooke
the
breath
of
life
,
did
let
in
death
:
so
that
wee
may
cry
with
Israel
,
The
Lord
hath
torne
,
and
the
Lord
hath
smitten
us
,
and
as
the
Magicians
said
of
the
lice
of
Egypt
,
Exod.
8.16
.
They
were
digitus
Dei
,
the
finger
of
God
;
Wee
may
of
our
Visitation
,
't
was
manus
Dei
,
the
hand
of
God
;
and
therefore
we
call
it
plaga
,
a
stroake
,
a
blow
from
heaven
.
Yet
see
the
goodnesse
of
the
most
high
;
no
sooner
had
we
,
by
the
appoyntment
of
our
most
gracious
Soveraigne
,
run
to
the
second
of
Ioel
,
and
proclaimed
a
Fast
;
called
a
solemne
assembly
,
and
cryed
with
Israel
,
venite
&
revertamur
,
O
come
,
let
us
returne
unto
the
Lord
.
But
that
power
,
who
repented
of
making
us
,
did
also
repent
of
destroying
us
;
and
said
,
My
Spirit
shall
not
alwaies
contend
with
man
,
least
the
soules
which
I
have
made
,
should
faile
before
me
.
Isai

And
as
Ieremiah
cryed
,
God
is
the
health
of
Israel
;
Chap.
3.
so
may
I
,
God
is
become
the
health
of
London
:
it
was
not
the
Frost
,
nor
the
Snow
,
nor
any
of
natures
colds
,
throwne
downe
from
those
moving
shops
of
Meteors
,
but
Dominus
sanauit
,
the
Lord
hath
healed
,
the
Lord
hath
bound
us
up
.
And
now
let
me
direct
my
speech
to
you
,
right
Honourable
,
and
the
inhabitants
of
this
City
,
and
say
in
the
words
of
the
Saviour
of
the
World
;
Art
thou
made
whole
?
sinne
no
more
,
least
a
worse
thing
happen
to
thee
:
though
yee
have
escaped
the
last
yeares
contagion
;
yet
there
is
a
Tophet
in
Isaiah
,
where
plagues
are
eternall
.
And
therefore
let
every
man
beginne
a
reformation
at
home
,
&
as
those
cryed
out
,
much
more
will
I
,
every
man
to
his
tents
,
O
Israel
;
to
his
conscience
,
O
London
.
Now
looke
to
thine
owne
house
David
.
I
make
no
question
,
but
much
cost
and
labour
has
beene
bestowed
in
ayring
and
cleansing
your
houses
;
but
it
is
to
no
purpose
,
unlesse
you
sweepe
out
sinne
,
which
Solomon
calls
,
the
plague
of
the
heart
,
turne
that
out
of
your
shops
and
consciences
,
it
will
prove
a
better
antidote
,
than
all
the
Pitch
,
Rue
,
and
Franckincense
in
the
World
.
Infect
the
aire
no
more
with
your
oathes
and
courteous
equivocations
;
make
not
your selves
worse
in
belying
your
wares
,
that
they
are
better
:
the
most
winning
eloquence
a
trades-man
can
speake
,
is
truth
,
and
the
best
way
to
thrive
apace
,
is
to
pray
.
Look
not
upon
the
next
life
,
as
Mathematitions
do
at
heaven
,
through
a
cranney
,
or
hole
,
out
of
a
darke
Chamber
,
which
renders
it
poore
and
small
;
not
venture
your
hopes
of
heaven
,
like
Cain
,
to
build
upon
earth
.
Raise
not
the
walls
of
your
houses
with
the
ruine
of
Gods
house
,
or
your
neighbours
;
nor
pay
your
Lecturers
with
your
Parsons
tithes
:
let
not
the
wrack't
out
blood
of
the
Tenant
cry
against
you
,
nor
your
workmens
wages
be
kept
backe
.
Use
not
false
lights
,
and
a
deceitfull
ballance
,
wherein
your
soules
are
put
and
found
too
light
.
And
beleeve
me
,
before
it
is
too
late
,
Godlinesse
is
great
gaine
,
and
there
's
no
such
policy
in
this
World
,
as
to
bee
an
honest
man
.
And
you
my
Lord
,
and
your
brethren
,
to
whom
the
government
of
this
City
is
committed
,
I
know
,
you
have
taken
all
the
courses
,
that
wisedome
can
thinke
of
,
to
stay
the
infection
,
when
there
is
but
one
way
to
doe
it
,
that
is
,
to
make
your
Citizens
good
:
but
you
will
say
,
't
is
God
that
must
doe
this
,
you
cannot
;
t
is
true
,
your
part
is
only
to
shew
them
the
way
by
a
good
example
:
and
seeing
your
spirit
is
the
first
wheele
,
whereunto
all
others
are
fastned
;
it
is
necessary
that
you
give
a
good
motion
;
for
it
is
held
by
some
Astronomers
,
that
when
the
Sunne
stood
still
in
the
time
of
Ioshuah
,
the
Moone
and
Starres
kept
the
like
pause
.
Now
,
if
you
that
are
Governours
,
would
have
the
Plague
a
stranger
in
the
City
,
then
see
that
in
your
Courts
of
Iudicature
,
justice
and
mercy
kisse
each
other
:
Let
justice
runne
downe
like
water
,
and
righteousnesse
as
the
river
,
Amos
5.24
.
It
will
clense
the
City
better
,
then
all
your
Conduits
let
loose
upon
Sundayes
.
Suffer
not
the
wicked
Advocate
,
who
plowes
lies
,
and
exchanges
God
for
a
bribe
,
to
put
Trueth
upon
the
Rack
,
and
stretch
a
Clients
cause
with
delayes
,
as
the
Shoomaker
doth
Leather
with
his
teeth
:
these
men
are
our
Plagues
in
the
times
of
health
,
and
it
put
Gods
mercy
to
a
stand
,
when
in
Ierusalem
there
was
not
found
a
man
that
executed
justice
,
Iet
.

How
shall
I
pardon
thee
for
this
?
(
saith
the
Lord
,
ver.
7.
But
God
hath
set
you
on
high
to
no
other
purpose
,
then
to
punish
vice
beneath
you
;
and
if
you
suffer
that
to
rise
,
it
will
trample
you
under
foote
;
and
therefore
,
continue
my
Lord
,
like
a
good
Moses
,
to
stand
in
the
gap
;
pleade
before
God
the
cause
of
his
people
with
your
prayers
;
and
before
his
people
,
the
cause
of
God
with
your
sword
.
And
let
me
beseech
all
that
heare
me
,
that
they
would
leave
no
sparkes
of
sinne
raked
up
in
their
consciences
,
least
the
fire
of
Gods
wrath
breakes
out
againe
more
furiously
the
next
spring
.
Verifie
the
first
part
of
my
Text
,
Returne
to
the
Lord
with
all
your
hearts
,
with
all
your
soules
;
and
he
will
verifie
the
second
,
sanabit
,
hee
will
heale
,
hee
will
binde
us
up
.
And
though
for
two
dayes
,
you
,
and
your
shops
,
and
your
tradings
have
laine
dead
,
yet
there
's
a
third
day
,
wherein
God
will
raise
you
up
,
and
make
you
live
in
his
sight
,
where
Divine
protection
shall
watch
over
you
here
,
and
keepe
all
Plagues
from
your
bodies
,
as
the
Nurse
does
flyes
from
the
face
of
her
sleeping
childe
,
till
you
enter
into
the
other
vision
of
God
,
the
sight
of
Glory
;
where
our
miseries
can
have
no
beginning
,
nor
our
felicity
any
ending
;
where
youth
shall
not
waxe
old
,
nor
health
impaire
,
but
these
bodies
,
which
are
now
the
shops
of
all
diseases
,
shall
become
as
impassible
as
Angels
,
as
subtile
as
rayes
of
light
,
as
radiant
as
the
Sunne
,
and
as
swift
as
the
wings
of
thunder
,
and
we
shall
lead
no
other
life
than
that
of
God
;
of
the
knowledge
of
God
,
of
the
love
of
God
;
and
that
as
long
as
God
shall
be
God
:
and
therefore
,
venite
&
revertamur
ad
Dominum
.
Come
,
and
let
us
returne
to
the
Lord
,
for
hee
hath
torne
,
and
hee
will
heale
us
,
hee
hath
broken
,
and
hee
will
binde
us
up
.
After
two
dayes
hee
will
revive
us
,
the
third
day
hee
will
raise
us
up
,
and
we
shall
live
in
his
sight
.
Which
God
of
his
mercy
grant
,
