THis
Texte
maye
well
be
deuided
into
foure
partes
as
it
lyeth
,
and
séeing
the
words
themselues
doe
leade
me
to
so
good
an
order
,
I
will
contente
my selfe
,
and
not
séeke
to
be
wyser
than
the
holy
Ghost
.
The
firste
and
principall
parte
is
a
gréeuous
accusation
of
the
whole
state
of
Ierusalem
both
for
life
and
religion
.
Secondlye
,
an
enumeration
of
the
particular
causes
thereof
.
Thirdly
,
a
reprehension
of
the
persons
,
but
especially
of
Magistrates
and
Ministers
.
And
fourthly
,
a
denouncing
of
woes
and
plagues
against
them
.
For
the
firste
,
it
is
wonderfull
to
sée
,
that
nothing
will
doe
the
wicked
anye
good
.
And
agayne
,
there
is
nothing
can
doe
the
godly
any
harme
.
All
the
woes
in
the
world
will
not
make
the
wilfull
once
to
beware
,
but
to
the
faithfull
seruaunte
of
God
one
worde
is
ynough
.
When
the
Lyon
roreth
,
who
quaketh
not
?
Gods
threatnings
haue
a
tw●folde
operation
and
effect
:
the
one
in
the
chosen
,
and
it
toucheth
them
verye
néere
,
and
turneth
their
hearts
,
and
humbleth
them
in
all
their
soule
,
It
is
and
hathe
bin
euer
a
mercifull
manner
of
our
God
,
to
speake
before
he
strike
,
and
he
is
not
by
&
by
at
a
worde
and
a
blowe
neither
,
but
giueth
time
and
space
for
repentance
:
Whatsoeuer
a
man
soweth
,
that
shall
he
reape
.

As
Adam
and
Cayne
did
.
that
God
will
not
be
mocked
,
and
when
hée
accuseth
,
it
is
but
lost
labour
to
excuse
,
and
as
his
word
endureth
for
euer
,
and
euerye
iotte
thereof
is
perfecte
&
to
bée
performed
,
so
these
woes
being
a
parte
of
his
word
,
can
not
returne
in
vayne
,
thy
Prophete
,
yet
be
perused
and

And

then
this

Ieremy

the

where
the
present

for

(
as
I
take
it
)
not
to

the
assuraunce
of

,
when
Christe
shoulde

Sayth

Looke
what
the
Lord
hath
sayde
,
and
that
is
sure
to
come
to
passe
in
al
pointes
as
he
hath
sayd
it
,
for
God
is
not
as
man
is
,
mutable
in
repenting
his
promises
,
albeit
he
is
sayd
to
repent
that
euer
he
made
man
.
Gen.
6.
It
is
but
to
expresse
the
hartie
hatred
he
beareth
against
sinne
,
&
against
their
sinnes
of
the
olde
worlde
:
or
else
why
do
we
so
confidentlye
buylde
,
and
constantly
assure
our selues
of
the
inexplicable
comfort
of
euerlasting
saluation
:
but
bicause
of
his
woorde
which
is
immutable
?
&
hath
he
sayd
it
?
nay
,
he
hath
sworne
it
,
That
I
wyll
raise
vp
the
right
braunch
Dauid
.
This
alludes
to
that
raysing
of
séede
to
a
mans
brother
,
if
he
dye
without
issue
,
as
it
is
in
the
lawe
.
Here
we
must
note
,
howsoeuer
God
promised
to
Adam
,
the
Womans
séede
shal
breake
the
serpentes
head
.
Gen.
3.
Howsoeuer
to
Abraham
in
blessing
I
wyl
blesse
thée
,
and
in
multiplying
,
I
wyl
multiply
thy
seede
as
the
starres
of
heauen
,
or
as
the
innumerable
sandes
of
the
shore
:
and
howsoeuer
to
Dauid
,
thy
seede
shall
endure
for
euer
,
&
thy
seate
as
the
Sun
,
&c.
That
is
,
how
so
euer
the
couenauntes
,
or
mercifull
promises
of
God
made
to
our
Forefathers
,
did
differ
in
circumstaunce
,
yet
do
they
all
agree
in
effect
&
substaunce
.
Againe
,
howe
soeuer
the
Prophetes
dreamed
dreames
,
or
sawe
visions
,
whether
they
prophecied
some
plainer
,
some
darker
,
some
as
it
were
farther
off
and
mysticall
,
some
more
euident
and
neare
,
as
the
spirite
gaue
them
vtteraunce
:
Yet
all
inspired
from
aboue
,
spake
in
effect
one
and
the
same
thing
.
And
there
can
not
be
founde
any
contrarietie
in
al
the
doctrine
of
the
Prophets
of
God
,
than
is
possible
to
be
in
the
spirite
wherewith
they
were
inspired
.
The
marke
they
all
shotte
at
,
is
Iesus
Christe
,
Salomon
,
Ezechias
,
This
done
,
I
saye
he
was
begotten
of
God
,
conceyued
by
the
holy
ghoste
,
incarnate
in
the
sanctified
wombe
of
the
Uirgin
Marie
,
euen
in
the
fulnesse
of
time
according
to
the
Scriptures
:
and
it
is
parte
of
the
Articles
of
our
Christian
beléefe
:
which
none
of
all
Dauids
posteritie
coulde
saye
,
But
here
maye
a
more
strong
and
mighty
obiection
be
gathered
than
before
as
it
seemeth
,
Ihesse
,
Dauids
father
,
was
the
roote
,
&
Dauid
as
the
braunch
:
Marie
the
Uirgin
was
the
flower
of
Dauides
braunche
,
and
Christ
our
Sauiour
was
the
fruite
of
Maries
blossome
.
Therefore
is
he
called
the
sonne
of
Dauid
in
the
Genealogie
by
Math.
1.
and
often
in
the
new
Testament
,
He
is
called
therefore
the
righteous
braunch
for
thrée
respectes
.
Secondlie
,
bicause
of
those
degenerating
bastardes
,
Roboham
,
Manasses
,
and
the
like
wicked
Princes
,
who
notwithstanding
,
were
of
his
lyne
,
yet
followed
not
a
foote
of
Dauids
wayes
,
but
defiled
his
seate
,
and
prophaned
the
Sanctuarie
,
and
turned
his
Scepter
another
waye
.
And
as
he
is
not
a
Iewe
,
which
is
a
Iewe
borne
:
nor
he
a
true
Israelite
,
which
is
so
called
:
nor
all
are
not
Abrahams
sonnes
,
that
are
after
the
flesh
.
Roma

No
more
maye
they
be
called
ryght
braunches
of
good
Princes
,
which
beare
no
lyke
fruite
,
although
that
otherwise
they
be
their
owne
sonnes
.
Thyrdlie
,
he
is
called
the
ryghteous
braunche
,
in
respecte
of
the
good
Kinges
also
,
Salomon
,
Iosias
,
Ezechias
,
and
those
fewe
more
,
which
not
onelye
were
of
Dauids
loynes
,
but
also
dyd
treade
in
hys
steppes
,
and
walked
in
the
waye
of
Dauid
theyr
Father
,
in
obedience
to
the
commaundement
of
the
Lorde
,
in
setting
foorth
the
true
seruice
of
the
GOD
of
Israell
,
in
fyring
the
supersticious
Idolles
,
cutting
downe
theyr
groues
and
wooddes
,
to
the
ruine
and
spoyle
of
their
Idoll
aultares
,
which
farre
better
deserued
the
tytle
of
Dauids
righteous
braunche
,
than
anye
of
the
wicked
Kinges
forespoken
of
:
And
yet
they
are
not
this
braunche
neyther
,
but
onely
,
and
trulie
,
and
properlie
,
it
is
Iesus
the
Messias
.
You
wyll
thinke
then
that
I
do
to
much
wrong
to
them
which
were
lawfullie
begotten
Sonnes
,
and
laudablie
raygned
Kinges
,
whiche
came
of
his
séede
aryght
,
and
raigned
righteouslie
in
the
seate
to
,
and
yet
not
the
true
braunch
?
I
shall
satisfie
you
,
if
you
marke
,
and
that
in
a
worde
:
I
do
not
denye
them
to
be
the
right
braunch
according
to
the
flesh
,
and
so
is
Christ
to
,
but
I
deny
them
to
be
the
ryght
and
righteous
braunche
,
for
so
is
Christe
alone
:
for
such
a
sprygge
or
stemme
,
neuer
sprouted
out
,
neyther
of
Abraham
,
whose
Isaack
was
so
increased
,
nor
out
of
Dauid
,
whose
kinges
so
succeded
,
nor
out
of
all
generations
againe
,
for
the
fountaine
is
too
fowle
,
&
our
petigrue
must
be
fetcht
from
Adam
which
is
earth
:
and
this
seconde
Adam
is
the
Lord
from
heauen
.

And
the
reason
is
,
that
those
excellent
vertues
,
and
Princely
qualities
of
wisdome
,
iustice
,
&
Religion
,
in
any
of
those
good
kinges
,
the
sonnes
of
Dauid
,
or
in
all
,
it
was
in
them
but
as
shadowes
,
and
vnperfect
figures
of
him
in
whome
dwelleth
the
fulnesse
of
all
goodnesse
,
So
that
he
onely
and
alone
,
is
this
ryghteous
braunche
.
Here
we
maye
sée
the
infinite
loue
of
God
towardes
his
Church
,
neuer
forsaking
hir
,
but
in
hir
first
fall
renuing
of
hir
with
promises
:
in
hir
forgetfulnesse
,
reuiuing
of
hir
with
prophecies
,
that
shée
myght
styll
hope
,
an●
not
be
confounded
for
euer
.
And
if
the
Patriarkes
and
men
of
God
,
in
elder
tymes
receyued
such
plentyfulnesse
of
ioy
and
gladnesse
,
in
the
onely
promyse
of
the
Messias
,
whereby
their
faith
was
full
:
What
flowing
,
and
ouerstreaming
vnmeasurable
confort
should
we
reape
,
to
whome
those
prophecies
do
mynister
more
,
than
to
the
Prophetes
them selues
.

For

sée
what

in

we
lyue
as

For
the

of

the
longer
,
and
the
later
it
is
,
the
more
mercifull
it
is
to
them

And
howe

be
with
a
single
hart
I
trust
:
but
that
is
a
double
harte
that
speakes
one
thing
and
dothe
thinke
another
,
whose
minde
is
cleane
contrary
to
his
mouth
.
For
all
the
members
of
the
body
are
but
ministers
&
expressers
of
the
minde
,
although
the
tongue
be
chief
thereof
:
ful
faine
I
sée
they
would
serue
God
and
Man
,
and
they
are
answered
by
Christ
himselfe
,
it
cannot
be
.

Thirdly
,
if
they
will
néedes
gyue
their
soule
to
God
,
and
their
body
to
the
Deuill
,
let
them
be
sure
that
God
will
haue
eyther
bothe
or
none
:
for
as
he
made
bothe
,
so
hath
his
Sonne
bought
both
:
so
that
as
the
soule
and
all
hyr
powers
are
due
vnto
God
,
so
likewise
the
body
and
all
his
partes
are
déepe
in
dette
and
bound
vnto
the
Lorde
,
to
serue
him
in
holynesse
and
rightuousnesse
al
the
dayes
of
our
life
.
But
these
good
felowes
incline
toward
the
errour
of
the
Manichees
,
&
make
two
beginnings
,
god
&
the
deuill
,
but
in
truth
they
are
rather
Atheists
,
which
serue
no
God
at
all
,
except
their
belly
be
theyr
God
,
or
else
it
is
so
by
halues
,
with
suche
lame
knowlege
&
rotten
faith
,
with
such
a
wounded
conscience
&
a
wicked
harte
,
Gods
seruice
requireth
a
whole
and
perfect
man
.
as
it
is
detestable
&
abominable
before
the
Lorde
.
I
will
say
nothing
of
Gentlemen
trauelers
,
that
hold
in
good
sadnesse
this
diuelish
opinion
,
Cum
fueris
Romae
Romano
viuite
more
,
when
thou
art
at
Rome
liue
after
the
Romish
maner
:
but
they
learne
their
lesson
so
perfit
there
,
that
a
great
number
cannot
forget
it
here
:
&
therfore
let
them
remember
another
saying
,
Roma
recipit
bonos
reddit
malos
,
Rome
receiueth
good
men
but
returneth
euil
men
.
Wel
,
that
I
may
tell
you
what
I
thinke
&
no
more
,
surely
a
man
may
be
a
very
naughty
person
&
yet
a
good
seruant
(
I
speake
it
not
to
maintayne
vnhappinesse
,
God
forbid
)
but
he
can
neuer
be
a
right
Romaine
&
a
faythfull
subiect
.
For
the
other
matter
wherwith
Israel
is
here
to
be
charged
&
England
to
be
condemned
,
is
,
that
she
answered
not
in
déede
what
she
professed
in
word
,
&
for
ourselues
it
is
past
cry
(
I
fear
)
for
we
are
both
helples
&
hopelesse
in
this
point
,
&
therfore
they
for
al
their
fayre
lookes
&
Pecocks
taile
,
were
yet
abhominable
&
filthy
Hypocrites
,
&
cursed
in
the
sight
of
God
,
euen
as
a
strumpet
neuer
so
richly
deckt
,
&
it
be
with
purple
veluet
,
stincketh
the
viler
rather
in
the
sight
of
honest
matrones
:
for
there
is
no
vice
more
pestilent
,
than
that
that
is
like
vertue
:
there
is
no
such
Iudas
kisse
,
as
with
an
Apostles
face
:
there
is
no
suche
deceyuing
Diuell
,
as
like
an
Angel
of
light
:
&
there
is
no
such
dissembling
citie
as
Ierusalem
for
hypocrisie
.
Wherfore
I
pray
you
was
christ
so
gentle
to
Publicanes
,
ouer
he
was
to
Pharisées
?
&
why
is
God
so
earnest
with
Israel
,
in
the
.1
.
of
Esai
.
Why
offer
you
so
many
sacrifices
?
I
am
ful
of
your
burnt
offerings
,
I
haue
no
pleasure
in
the
bloud
of
bullockes
,
And
yet
he
commaunded
them
.
I
hate
your
newe
Moones
,
I
cannot
away
with
your
sabboths
&
solemne
méetings
,
I
am
wery
at
my
hart
with
them
,
offer
me
no
moe
oblations
&c.
but
that
the
seruice
of
God
apointed
by
those
sacrifices
was
vtterly
peruerted
,
&
no
truth
in
their
dealings
:
There
is
nothing
prouoketh
god
more
,
than
when
with
a
cloke
or
colour
of
religion
his
people
shall
wallow
in
sin
or
superstition
.
Vnfrui●tfull
earth
without
water
,
so
vnfruictfull
man
without
the
worde
.
is
blessed
,
but
the
barraine
and
vnfruitefull
is
to
be
cursed
and
burned
.
The
Are
is
at
the
roote
of
euerye
trée
,
and
iudgement
is
not
farre
,
&
by
his
fruit
shall
euery
man
be
knowen
,
&
no
fruite
aswell
as
naughty
fruite
,
is
both
for
the
flame
.
It
was
abhominable
before
God
for
Israel
to
sweare
,
the
Lord
liueth
,
&
yet
to
deceyue
,
Ier.

to

and

And

what
déepe
damnation
euen
in
the
nethermost
hel
remaines
for
the
periured
person
?
There
would
be
some
exquisit
punishment
for
such
helhoundes
,
&
séeing
God
wil
not
hold
them
giltlesse
,
lette
al
Magistrates
that
feare
God
condemne
them
to
some
paine
,
for
they
are
past
shame
.
And
bycause
I
spake
of
Sabbothes
,
knowe
you
that
euery
day
is
a
Christian
Sabboth
,
yet
one
amongst
the
rest
was
specially
commanded
to
the
Iewes
,
Iewes
Sabboth
Saterday
,
Christians
Sonday
.
and
commended
vnto
vs
both
to
reste
oure
bodyes
&
our
beasts
:
but
the
chiefe
end
was
for
Israel
to
go
to
the
Sanctuarie
,
&
for
vs
to
come
to
the
house
of
prayer
.
The
ceremonie
of
the
seuenth
day
is
not
muche
amisse
,
and
that
the
number
of
.7
.
signifieth
perfection
,
you
may
often
reade
in
scriptures
,
especially
in
the
Reuelation
.
Of
churches
,
stars
,
spirits
,
trumpets
,
seales
,
Angels
,
and
al
appeared
by
seauen
,
as
a
most
absolute
&
perfect
number
,
multiplyed
in
it self
,
albeit
this
is
somwhat
mistical
,
yet
no
harme
followeth
if
we
say
God
rested
the
vij
.
day
to
shew
vnto
vs
the
perfection
of
his
workes
,
&
laboured
.vi.
days
,
to
giue
vs
an
example
of
vocation
.
It
may
be
not
one
of
the
least
causes
,
that
God
ceassed
the
seauenth
day
to
beholde
the
excellencye
of
his
creatures
,
and
though
he
séeth
them
alwayes
,
from
whose
eyes
nothing
can
be
hidde
,
yet
to
take
delight
in
their
assemblings
,
singing
of
hymnes
,
in
their
praying
vnto
hym
,
and
praysing
hys
name
,
in
their
reading
and
hearing
his
word
.
And
if
he
looke
downe
on
oure
Sabbothes
,
what
shall
he
finde
I
pray
you
?
euery
daye
euill
,
and
the
Sabboth
worst
.
Trahit

,
Euery

And
the

Citizens
haue

for

:
they
that

make

with

,
some

on
the

,
some

in
the

,
some

,
some

:
thus
what
you
gette
euelly
all
the

,
is
worst
spente
on
the

day
,
according
to
the

Il

:
blame
not
your

if
they
follow
your

,
for
youre

makes
them
vnthriftie
.
But
what
accompt
?
how
answer
you
?
is
this
the

daye
or
no
?
if
it
be
,
howe
intollerable

nay
howe
accursed
&
moste
condemnable
are
these
outragious
Bachanalia
,

,
I
can
not
tell
what
to
call
them
,
such
as
Heathen
menne
were
euer
ashamed
of
(
I
am
sure
,
)
and
therfore
practised
better
maters
,
although
prophane
exercises
:
but
ours
sauors
so
of
Venus
Court
and
Bacchus
kitchin
,
that
it
may
rightly
be
entituled
an
abhominable
and
filthy
Citie
:
and
withoute
doubte
London
shall
iustifie
hir
elder
sister
Hierusalem
,
if
in
time
she
turne
not
to
the
Lorde
.
I
saye
nothing
of
diuers
other
abuses
,
whych
do
carrie
away
thousands
,
and
drowne
them
in
the
pernicious
vanities
of
the
worlde
.
Looke
but
vppon
the
common
playes
in
London
,
and
sée
the
multitude
that
flocketh
to
them
and
followeth
them
:
beholde
the
sumptuous
Theatre
housee
,
a
continuall
monument
of
Londons
prodigalitie
and
folly
.
But
I
vnderstande
they
are
nowe
forbidden
bycause
of
the
plague
,
I
like
the
pollicye
well
if
it
holde
still
,
for
a
disease
is
but
bodged
or
patched
vp
that
is
not
cured
in
the
cause
,
and
the
cause
of
plagues
is
sinne
,
if
you
looke
to
it
well
:
and
the
cause
of
sinne
are
playes
:
therefore
the
cause
of
plagues
are
playes
.
Quicquid
est
causa

est
causa

.
Shall
I
reckon
vp
the
monstrous
birds
that
brede
in
this
nest
?
An
olde
reason
.
without
doubt
I
am
ashamed
,
&
I
should
surely
offende
your
chast
cares
:
but
the
olde
world
is
matched
,
and
Sodome
ouercome
,
for
more
horrible
enormities
,
and
swelling
sins
are
set
out
by
those
stages
,
then
euery
man
thinks
for
,
or
some
would
beléeue
,
if
I
shold
paint
them
out
in
their
colours
:
without
doubt
you
can
scantly
name
me
a
sinne
,
that
by
that
sincke
is
not
set
a gogge
:
theft
and
whoredome
:
pride
and
prodigality
:
villanie
and
blasphemie
:
these
thrée
couples
of
helhoundes
neuer
ceasse
barking
there
,
and
bite
manye
,
so
as
they
are
vncurable
euer
after
,
so
that
many
a
man
hath
the
leuder
wife
,
and
many
a
wife
the
shreuder
husband
by
it
:
and
it
can
not
otherwise
be
,
but
that
whiche
robbeth
flatlye
the
Lord
of
all
his
honor
,
and
is
directly
against
the
whole
first
table
of
his
law
,
shoulde
make
no
bones
of
breache
of
the
second
also
,
which
is
toward
our
neighbour
only
.
Wherefore
if
thou
be
a
father
,
thou
losest
thy
child
:
if
thou
be
a
maister
,
thou
losest
thy
seruaunt
:
and
thou
be
what
thou
canst
be
,
thou
losest
thy selfe
that
hauntest
those
scholes
of
vice
,
dennes
of
Théeues
,
&
Theatres
of
all
leudnesse
:
and
if
it
be
not
suppressed
in
time
,
it
will
make
such
a
Tragedie
,
that
all
London
may
well
mourne
whyle
it
is
London
,
for
it
is
no
playing
time
,
(
and
euery
man
bethinke
him
wel
)
but
time
to
pray
rather
:
but
faith
is
fainted
,
and
when
the
sonne
of
man
coms
,
shall
he
finde
faith
vppon
the
earthe
?
Blessed
is
the
seruant
whom
when
his
maister
commeth
shall
finde
doing
not
playing
,
but
working
,
And
cruell
Citie
.
This
is
the
other
parte
of
his
accusation
,
wherein
whether
hée
allude
to
that
generall
breach
of
this
commaundement
(
Thou
shalt
loue
thy

as

,
)
for
as
Charitie
in
this
respecte
performeth
the
law
,
so
Crueltie
breaketh
the

,
and
therefore
is
it
sayde
on
thys
word
(
Loue
)
dependeth
the
whole

and
the

,
bycause
all
their

to

al

and
to

(

whiche
is

euer

I
reade
in

It

Couetousnesse
is
the
roote
of
all
euill
:
that
is
no
euill
,
I
hadde
almoste
forgotten
(
Usurye
)
a
yonger
Spryg
,
and
later
graffe
indéede

than
anye
of
those
I
shewed
you
before
:
but
yet
for
mischiefe
,
it
doth
surpasse
them
all
(
excepting
euer
Idolatrie
)
I
thinke
in
my
conscience
the
Deuill
is
the
only
life
thereof
:
and
as
a
man
hauing
manye
children
,
yet
sometimes
the
last
doth
most
resemble
his
father
,
so
can
not
I
sée
the
Diuels
countenance
,
complexion
,
and
condition
more
liuely
naturall
in
any
one
,
than
in
this
bramble
of
Hell.
How
oft
wyll
you
heare
of
this
geare
withoute
amendmente
?
there
is
small
or
no
hope
left
for
aftercommers
to
do
any
good
at
all
therein
:
and
yet
we
must
speake
stil
against
it
for
all
that
.
The
Prophetes
hadde
not
all
successe
,
nor
the
Apostles
preuayled
euerye
where
,
and
Chryste
hymselfe
ceassed
not
to
giue
it
oute
,
though
he
knewe
the
peruersenesse
of
the
proude
Pharises
would
not
learne
Wisedome
,
nor
receyue
Counsayle
of
the
Lorde
.
As
a
nette
full
of
birdes
,
so
are
youre
hooses
full
of
thinges
gotten
by
deceypte
,
I
can
compare
couetous
menne
to
the
Gyauntes
in
Noahs
tyme
,
whyche
were
not
onely
cruell
,
I
say
nothing
of
exequutors
,
which
may
wel
be
called
executors
,
for
spoylyng
of
Orphanes
,
infantes
,
and
widdowes
,
which
are
theyr
owne
caruers
,
and
begger
and
beguile
them
to
whom
the
right
belongs
.
And
here
my
thinkes
I
sée
the
secrete
iudgements
of
God
on
goods
ill
gotten
,
as
Dauid
sayeth
,
thou
scrapest
and
canst
not
tell
for
whome
:
thou
rakest
into
thy

and
knowest
not
who
shall
possesse
them
,
perhaps
thy
exequutor
,
&
perhaps
a
straunger
,
sometimes
thy
enimy
,
and
sometimes
thy
owne
sonne
(
and
none
soner
)
shal
consume
and
scatter
abroade
,
what
thou
with
toyle
and
turmoile
,
with
vexing
of
thy
body
and
ventryng
of
thy
soule
,
hast
miserably
scratched
togither
in
all
the
dayes
of
thy
life
:
it
is
flushe
in
a
yéere
,
nay
sometymes
in
an
houre
,
if
they
fall
kyndly
too
it
,
as
many
yong
maysters
doe
:
suche
prodigall
prancks
haue
made
a
cleane
riddaunce
of
fayre
possessions
in
a
shorte
tyme
,
and
theyr
punishment
is
righte
for
it
,
that
seyng
they
are
so
forwarde
too
beginne
where
theyr
parents
lefte
,
they
muste
be
fayne
to
make
an
ende
where
theyr
fathers
beganne
:
thus
misery
méetes
with
prodigalitie
,
and
prodigalitie
endes
in
misery
as
it
is
méete
:
and
I
would
bothe
olde
and
yong
would
marke
this
lessen
well
,
&
learne
to
do
wel
with
Mammon
whilest
they
haue
it
,
for
either
the
man
,
or
Mammon
,
or
bothe
will
away
at
length
,
and
cannot
tarrie
still
.
It
is
an
olde
verse
and
forgotten
of
all
,
Da
tua
dum
tua
sunt
,
post
mortem
non
tua
sunt
:
Giue
thine
whyle
they
are
thine
,
for
after
death
they
are
none
of
thine
.
I
am
led
by
occasion
of
these
words
to
another
kinde
of
crueltie
,
and
it
is
very
néedefull
now
to
be
hearde
,
in
good
time
be
it
spoken
therfore
,
I
pray
God
:
and
this
growes
out
of
the
bowels
of
couetousnesse
too
,
and
beareth
hardnesse
of
harte
,
and
as
Christ
foretolde
so
is
it
come
to
passe
,
The
poore
shall
you
haue
alway
with
you
,
but
not
mee
.
bycause
that
Diues
is
dead
,
and
yet
hée
is
aliue
,
and
so
of
Lazarus
who
is
dead
,
and
yet
he
is
aliue
also
:
for
though
Lazarus
be
in
Heauen
,
yet
Lazarus
is
on
earth
,
and
Diues
is
on
earth
,
and
Diues
is
in
Hell.
Goe
to
now
you
riche
menne
,
take
héede
,
and
beware
of
cruelty
,
and
pray
for
charitie
:
you
are
but
stewardes
,
lay
it
out
:
you
are
no
Lordes
you
may
not
lay
it
vp
:
Make
you
fréendes
of
the
wicked
Mammon
,
whyle
you
haue
time
,
for
your
tyme
is
not
for
euer
,
and
perhaps
it
is
not
long
.
She
heard
not
the
voyce
.
I
wil
runne
ouer
the
particular
causes
as
briefly
as
I
can
,
for
I
haue
bene
long
,
and
I
am
afrayde
of
the
tyme
.
This
firste
faulte
is
the
Originall
cause
of
all
erroure
,
bothe
in
Religion
and
liuyng
,
and
it
hath
bredde
monstrous
Heresies
and
mischieuous
enormities
at
all
tymes
,
(
especially
in
the
Churche
)
whyle
wée
haue
lefte
the
voyce
:
For
our
liuing
.
Thy
word
(
O
Lord
)
is
a
Lanterne
to
my
féete
(
saith
Dauid
)
and
a
light
vnto
my
steppes
:
whereby
then
shall
a
yong
man
or
an
olde
man
,
She
receyued
not
correction
.
This
is
a
second
cause
that
the
prophets
warnyngs
were
but
winde
,
but
this
worde
shal
burne
as
fire
,
and
make
the
people
smoke
for
it
.
As
doctrine
is
cold
without
reprehension
,
so
are
threatnings
in
vaine
without
correction
.
This
made
Ionas
so
angry
with
himselfe
,
that
he
wished
death
again
,
Bycause
they
are
reprobate
.
and
nothyng
will
doe
with
the
wicked
till
condemnation
come
.
Hée
is
sayde
to
receyue
correction
that
is
bettered
by
it
,
as
Ezechias
the
King
,
Dauid
the
Prophete
,
Ioseph
the
Patriarch
,
Iob
the
holy
man
.
It
was
good
for
all
these
that
GOD
had
humbled
them
:
but
where
there
is
no
fruyte
,
there
all
is
loste
,
and
that
correction
is
not
receyued
.
As
a
potion
taken
for
health
,
if
it
worke
not
,
there
muste
bée
a
quicker
,
or
else
the
disease
remayneth
still
:
euen
so
if
one
punishmente
will
not
doe
,
a
kynder
muste
bée
putte
in
proofe
,
and
as
where
the
Physition
ceasseth
of
the
seconde
attempt
,
hée
seeth
small
signe
of
recouery
,
and
that
mans
state
is
daungerous
:
euen
so
where
GOD
giues
ouer
and
lettes
alone
,
there
is
no
hope
of
remedie
:
and
that
mans
case
is
desperate
,
for
whome
hee
loueth
,
Lette
vs
nowe
sée
this
in
our
se●ues
,
whether
wée
haue
anye
correction
or
no
,
and
if
we
haue
,
whether
we
receyue
it
as
we
ought
to
do
.
God
hathe
played
the
fathers
parte
,
in
sparing
vs
from
Famine
,
from
Battell
,
from
the
Sworde
,
and
from
Captiuitie
and
bondage
,
the
common
euentes
of
Warres
:
and
hée
hathe
visited
vs
wyth
a
gentle
plague
,
the
disease
that
Dauid
chose
.
GOD
SAVE
THE
QVEENE
,
&
yet
by
our
disobedience
,
cause
hym
to
take
hyr
awaye
.
Oure
Sauioure
wepte
ouer
Hierusalem
,
for
that
shée
knewe
not
those
thynges
whyche
belonged
to
hyr
peace
.
God
forbidde
.
Shee
trusted
not
in
the
Lorde
.
This
is
the
thirde
cause
,
and
it
is
the
fountayne
of
all
vnhappinesse
,
not
to
depend
of
Gods
prouidence
.
This
made
Israell
hunt
after
Idols
so
,
and
putte
hir
trust
in
Horses
and
strength
of
men
,
to
bée
so
cruell
in
dealing
with
deceyt
.
And
what
shall
I
saye
of
oure
engrocers
,
forestallers
,
forfet
takers
,
Usurers
,
oppressing
Landlordes
,
of
murmuring
rich
men
,
that
euer
are
afraid
,
and
neuer
haue
ynough
?
that
you
trust
in
the
Lorde
?
I
will
not
disproue
youre
faith
,
but
if
you
do
those
things
which
denye
and
defye
the
faithe
,
which
fight
agaynste
faithe
,
if
you
iustifye
them
of
little
faythe
,
that
cared
but
for
to
morrowe
,
A
long
liuing
and
a
short
life
.
You
maye
talke
of
Gods
Prouidence
as
long
as
you
wyll
,
and
beléeue
you
he
that
list
.
Youre
trust
is
not
rightely
in
the
Lorde
:
and
if
you
mistrust
hys

,
by
my

you
shall
mystrust
youre

thys

shall
I
take
awaye
thy

and
whose
shall

bée
then
whyche
then
haste
prouided
?
Agayne
,
there
are
a
sorte
that
goe
downe
into
Egypte
,
It
was
a
greate
faulte
in
this
people
,
&
Manasses
the
Idolater
was
sorely
gyuen
to
it
,
to
obserue
dreames
,
singyng
of
byrdes
,
and
the
lyke
paltrie
as
manye
doe
nowe
,
Popery
ioyneth
with
Sorcery
.
the
howlyng
of
Dogges
,
the
gnawyng
of
Rottes
,
the
spottes
in
the
hande
,
the
crying
of
Rauens
,
the
flying
of
Owles
,
a
sorte
of
fonde
obseruations
and
dreames
,
olde
wyues
fables
,
whereby
the
Diuell
deludeth
manye
,
and
weakeneth
theyr
faythe
.
Saule
woulde
néedes
consulte
wyth
a
Witche
thoughe
hée
hymselfe
hadde
putte
them
downe
:
yet
when
Samuell
the
Prophete
was
deade
,
so
bewitched
was
Kyng
Saule
,
Nowe
for
them
whyche
flye
the
Plague
,
whether
they
trust
in
the
Lorde
or
no
,
héere
are
manye
would
fayne
knowe
,
and
I
wyll
bée
as
willyng
to
declare
my
opinion
therein
.
I
can
not
defyne
it
absolutely
,
or
fynallye
determine
the
case
,
but
I
leaue
it
to
my
betters
,
and
it
is
conscience
in
déede
that
strykes
the
stroke
of
trust
or
mistrust
,
and
therein
euerye
manne
canne
best
tell
hymselfe
:
for
as
thy
lyfe
dothe
declare
thée
to
manne
,
so
thy
faithe
dothe
shewe
thée
vnto
GOD
,
and
Tenera
res
conscientia
est
,
quae
nec
tangi
nec
angi
debet
,
Conscience
is
a
tender
thyng
,
and
maye
not
bée
touched
nor
troubled
.
I
maye
tearme
it
a
signe
of
weakenesse
,
but
not
flatte
infidelitie
,
for
thou
mayest
both
tarrie
and
flée
an
Infidell
.
And
there
is
a
desperate
kynde
of
tarrying
with
preposterous
wordes
,
whyche
I
vtterlye
mislike
:
and
that
same
harde
opinion
flatte
agaynste
all
Phisicke
,
that
the
Plague
is
not
infectious
,
I
canne
not
allowe
:
they
haue
no
reason
to
make
it
good
that
so
saye
:
but
they
bryng
particulare
experience
,
whych
is
no
proofe
at
all
,
as
though
God
coulde
not
be
god
,
and
the
Plague
infectious
.
Let
him
that
hath
a
gift
to
tarry
,
praise
God
for
it
,
and
let
him
not
triumph
ouer
him
that
hathe
it
not
:
and
yet
I
woulde
euerye
man
were
as
he
.
But
mans
nature
is
verye
frayle
,
and
hys
fleshe
soone
afrayde
,
and
euerye
bodye
hathe
not
the
like
measure
of
perfection
and
strength
.
Agayne
,
some
are
more
bounde
to
tarry
than
other
some
:
as
publike
persons
,
the
Magistrate
,
the
Minister
,
the
maister
of
householdes
that
haue
any
publike
office
,
charge
,
or
function
,
let
them
looke
vnto
it
:
and
for
the
rest
that
flye
away
,
if
they
doe
prouide
that
their
neyghbours
doe
not
lacke
that
conueniente
comforte
and
sufficiente
succoure
whyche
their
presence
myghte
yéelde
,
I
say
it
is
the
safer
.
But
to
aunswere
rash
concluders
,
whiche
are
hastie
to
giue
sentence
,
and
do
condemne
their
brethrens
conscience
,
whiche
say
absolutely
,
it
is
lacke
of
faith
,
and
altogither
vnlawfull
,
it
is
to
flye
from
God
&c.
As
though
God
were
the
plague
.
I
say
,
if
you
wil
néeds
proue
your
fayth
for
your
tarying
and
playing
the
men
,
then
must
you
find
a
promise
for
your
fayth
,
or
els
it
is
no
faith
.
For
eternal
life
we
haue
a
promise
,
and
therfore
a
faith
:
&
wher
in
al
the
Scriptures
haue
you
anye
promise
that
God
wil
spare
him
or
hir
,
that
vpon
their
trust
remaine
&
tarie
by
it
?
whereas
as
godly
and
as
faithfull
are
taken
away
,
as
Infidels
and
wicked
:
nay
,
I
think
rather
the
worst
are
left
behinde
to
amende
,
and
it
will
be
,
or
to
féele
a
sorer
plague
.
For
as
Augustine
sayth
,
it
is
a
temptation
not
to
be
tempted
,
so
surely
may
it
be
a
horrible
plague
not
to
be
plagued
,
as
I
haue
proued
before
.
Away
with
that
Heathen
prouerb
,
which
is
too
common
among
Christians
:
He
that
dieth
this
yere
,
is
scused
for
the
next
.
Nay
,
he
that
dieth
this
yéere
,
&
not
in
the
Lorde
,
is
excused
neuer
,
but
dieth
for
euer
.
Let
vs
rather
pray
the
Lorde
to
enable
vs
to
doe
our
dutie
in
all
spiritual
strength
,
and
to
comfort
one
another
in
sicknesse
and
in
health
,
and
let
vs
beséech
the
lord
to
remoue
this
plague
far
from
vs
,
séeing
we
can
not
remoue
our selues
from
the
plague
,
the
wings
of
the
morning
cannot
do
it
,
A
prayer
.
for
he
is
euery
where
.
Haue
mercy
vpon
vs
therfore
,
O
Lord
,
according
to
thy
wonted
mercy
,
like
as
when
thou
commaundedst
thy
Angel
to
cease
from
slaughter
in
the
time
of
king
Dauid
:
so
if
it
be
thy
blessed
will
,
take
from
vs
nowe
this
pestilence
of
mortalitie
,
and
shewe
thy
louing
countenaunce
once
agayne
,
and
be
not
angry
with
vs
for
euer
.
She
drew
not
neare
to
hir
God
.
This
is
the
fourth
and
last
cause
.
As
a
wilde
Asse
in
the
mountayne
commes
not
neare
his
catcher
,
so
Israel
withdraweth
hir self
from
god
hir
kéeper
.
Christes
crying
,
Hir
Rulers
are
as
roaring
Lions
.
Least
the
Prophet
should
séeme
to
saye
any
thing
that
●e
could
not
proue
,
and
so
slaunder
the
state
of
Ierusalem
,
therfore
as
he
named
the
faults
before
,
so
he
commes
nowe
to
the
persons
also
,
and
that
the
very
chéefe
.
Note
héere
howe
necessarie
it
is
to
come
to
particulars
,
and
to
poynt
at
,
and
paint
out
sinne
,
in
whom
soeuer
it
is
.
He
that
speakes
generally
,
speakes
to
no
man
now
a
days
,
for
euery
body
can
post
it
off
,
or
sport
it
out
so
pretily
.
I
pray
you
sée
how
he
calles
the
best
(
Beastes
)
héere
,
what
are
the
rest
then
?
iudge
you
:
and
not
only
vnder
Manasses
,
but
also
vnder
Iosias
a
good
king
,
were
naughtie
Rulers
to
be
found
.
And
héere
are
names
of
purpose
méete
for
them
,
whatsoeuer
other
titles
they
take
to
them selues
.
As
a
roring
Lion
and
a
hungry
Beare
,
We
haue
a
most
mercyfull
and
gracious
prince
,
Elizabeth
,
God
in
mercy
long
preserue
and
keepe
hir
.
Amen
.
She
is
a
Lambe
and
no
Lion
:
and
where
she
giues
the
Lion
,
it
is
to
be
wished
that
in
this
sense
she
had
many
Lions
,
God
is
our
keeper
.
I
meane
men
of
courage
and
valour
:
But
as
she
hath
hands
ynowe
,
so
I
pray
God
she
haue
many
harts
,
and
then
we
shall
doe
well
ynough
.
Héere
is
the
picture
of
Ierusalem
,
a
monstrous
body
,
For
both
hir
Magistrates
and
Ministers
were
corrupt
.
a
roring
Lions
head
,
a
rauening
Wolues
throte
,
a
Camels
neck
,
a
Cormerants
hart
,
neuer
an
eye
but
starke
blinde
,
not
a
right
hande
or
foote
,
but
talants
like
the
Diuell
:
so
that
you
might
rightly
borrowe
the
Poets
verse
,
to
say
,
Monstrum
horrendum
informe
ingens
,
cui
lumen
ademptum
.
And
all
this
is
for
the
crueltie
in
the
Princes
,
the
couetousnesse
in
the
Priestes
,
and
corruption
in
the
people
.
Suche
a
foule
body
was
it
,
that
from
top
to
toe
there
was
no
whole
part
,
And
héere
I
could
wishe
one
property
yet
of
a
Lion
in
all
our
Rulers
.
They
saye
the
Lion
quaketh
at
the
crowing
of
a
Cocke
:
So
I
pray
God
that
the
threatnings
of
the
worde
may
worke
with
them
,
and
quayle
them
:
that
the
spirite
of
Elias
doubled
vpon
Elizeus
maye
bee
raysed
in
Iohn
:
and
that
suche
men
may
be
founde
out
as
méetest
messangers
for
them
,
whiche
goe
not
about
the
bushe
,
neither
are
blaunchers
,
but
as
playne
as
a
packe
staffe
,
whiche
put
them
in
remembraunce
what
they
are
,
that
as
the
Lyon
though
he
be
the
King
of
beastes
,
yet
at
length
is
made
a
pray
to
small
birds
,
and
then
is
that
saying
veryfied
,
Better
is
a
liue
Dogge
than
a
dead
Lion.
So
they
although
they
be
greate
in
authoritie
,
yet
at
the
last
they
are
but
a
bayte
for
the
small
wormes
.
And
her
Iudges
are
as
Wolues
in
the
euening
.
I
wil
not
stand
on
the
curious
distinction
of
these
degrées
,
but
only
shew
you
some
difference
of
the
beasts
to
whom
he
resembles
them
.
A
Lion
prayeth
in
the
day
,
a
Wolfe
in
the
night
:
a
Lyon
catcheth
stoute
beastes
,
a
Wolfe
killeth
Lambes
:
a
Lion
takes
no
lambes
,
as
an
Eagle
takes
no
flies
,
A
quila
non
capit
Muscas
.
If
a
beast
humble
himselfe
to
a
Lion
he
is
the
lesse
cruell
,
but
do
it
to
a
Wolfe
and
hee
is
the
more
fierce
.
A
Wolfe
hath
a
more
rauenous
nature
,
for
though
he
bee
ful
of
spoyle
,
yet
he
takes
pleasure
in
the
bloud
,
for
he
thrustes
his
snoute
into
the
bowels
of
a
lambe
,
rooting
and
noufling
for
the
hart
:
and
therefore
in
scriptures
,
the
enimies
of
the
Church
are
often
called
Wolues
,
and
for
no
vnlike
qualitie
are
wicked
Iudges
here
resembled
to
them
.
Whatsoeuer
is
rightly
done
of
the
magistrate
,
may
be
sayde
to
be
done
of
god
himself
:
&
I
haue
said
you
are
gods
.
Take
héede
therfore
what
you
do
(

,
Mark
these
three
notes
you
that

.
to
picke
out
men
of
courage
,
men
that
feared
God
and
hated
couetousnesse
to
gouern
the
people
.
You
had
néede
of

and

,
and
to

times
,
for
you

Here
is

,
as
if

I
thinke
the

you

be
able
to
commaund

,
or
if
they

,
I
am
sure
you
haue
authoritye
for
theyr
legges
.
I
reade
in
the
4.
of
Genesis
,
For
as
the
body
is
more
worth
than
raiment
,
so
the
life
is
more
precious

liuing
.
but
of
nobles
?
of
Iudges
?
of
magistrates
?
it
were
to
intollerable
:
a
poore
théefe
packes
to
Tyborne
,
but
a
manne
kyller
,
a
murtherer
,
can
shyfte
hys
legges
oute
of
the
shackle
,
and
slippe
his
necke
oute
of
the
haulter
.
In
Platoes
common
welth
,
he
that
killed
one
was
thought
worthy
death
twice
:
firste
for

duetye
,

,
for

toke
away
:
&
shal
a
Ruffyan
kil
twice
in
a
Christian
estate
before
he
can
be
met
with
once
?
And
here
I
haue
a
sute
to
your
honours
,
I
wyll
not
spare
to
speake
,
howsoeuer
I
speede
,
I
shall
discharge
my
conscience
yet
,
and
the
burden
shal
be
yours
:
it
is
to
renewe
my
petition
,
whiche
once
I
made
to
your
predicessor
,
for
poore
condemned
prisoners
:
make
no
such
poste
hast
I
beséech
you
,
that
you
danger
their
soules
with
their
bodies
.
They
are
cut
off
to
saue
their
soule
,
but
&
you
make
no
care
of
that
,
take
héede
that
you
haue
not
as
short
a
warning
,
and
a
more
sodayne
departing
your selues
.
God
hath
giuen
you
faire
warning
,
by
many
late
and
lamentable
examples
,
euen
of
your
own
Cloke
.
I
discommend
not
due
execution
of
Iustice
,
it
is
no
piece
of
my
meaning
,
but
mercy
is
alwayes
better
than
Sacrifice
.
Wherefore
let
it
euer
ioyne
with
your
iustice
,
or
else
there
is
no
difference
betwéene
damning
&
condemning
on
your
part
:
the
olde
Poetes
had
a
blind
saying
,
(
Dimittamte
orco
)
I
le
sende
thée
to
hel
,
when
anye
man
was
don
to
death
:
but
Christians
haue
a
better
phrase
(
I
trow
)
&
I
truste
they
go
to
heauen
.
Wel
,
to
draw
toward
a
conclusion
with
you
which
are
our
honorable
gouernour
and
Maior
of
this
Citie
,
you
must
remember
that
you
are
chosen
in
the
time
of
a
plague
,
and
therfore
in
the
time
of
sinne
:
you
are
come
to
a
sicke
&
a
sore
citie
,
you
must
therfore
play
both
the
Phisition
and
Surgeon
,
you
muste
awake
out
of
Endimions
sleepe
,
and
thrust
dilligently
your
sword
of
iustice
in
,
to
launce
out
all
corruption
and
bagage
which
is
gathered
in
the
bowels
,
we
stoppe
not
our
nose
so
at
the
plague
,
as
the
Lord
doth
stoppe
hys
nose
at
our
sinne
:
the
stincke
of
London
is
come
vp
before
hym
,
God
hath
a
worke
to
doe
by
you
,
do
not
the
Lordes
worke
negligently
,
for
feare
of
a
curse
:

Loue

whether

or

whether

or

,
&
whether
he
be

or

:
and
if
hee
be
a
Lion
,
his
pawes
:
or
if
he
be
a
Wolf
,
his
iawes
wil
soone

:
the
cry
of
the
Orphane

wil
Hunte

It
commes
to
my
minde
,
those
three
ships
,
sent
to
Mar.
Aurelius
Emperor
of
Rome
out
of
Spain
(
as
I
remember
)
full
fraught
with
vagabonds
,
loiterers
,
théeues
,
Iuglers
,
&
Iesters
,
&
in
a
letter
he
wrote
that
these
were
but
the
maisters
of
this
misrule
,
and
the
captain
Roges
,
but
for
the
scholers
themselues
three
hundered
ships
would
not
suffise
.
To
thys
end
I
tell
you
thys
,
bycause
wee
haue
more
than
thrée
shippes
ful
,
by
oddes
.
I
wyl
not
saye
,
the
Cittie
is
ful
:
but
sure
adulterers
and
Harlottes
,
théeues
and
Uacaboundes
do
swarme
in
most
places
of
the
same
,
and
no
marueyle
,
for
Dicing
houses
,
Daunsing
schooles
,
bowling-aleyes
,
Alehouses
,
are
almoste
lawlesse
in
euery
place
:
me
thinkes
the
policye
were
as
good
to
note
on
those
places
(
LORD
HAVE
MERCIE
VPON
VS
)
as
on
infected
houses
,
&
more
néede
to
,
euen
at
this
time
,
if
there
were
due
searche
,
you
shoulde
finde
my
words
true
.
Seruice
or
Sermon
,
all
is
one
to
them
.
I
leaue
to
tell
the
ribaldrie
,
contempte
of
God
,
and
of
good
order
,
blasphemy
and
vilanous
spéeches
amongst
them
,
that
a
man
would
take
them
to
bee
rather
Diuels
than
Christians
.
You
cannot
haue
all
of
me
nowe
,
giue
eare
to
other
when
they
come
,
I
beséeche
you
,
and
in
anye
case
despise
not
the
leaste
that
the
Lorde
doeth
sende
:
so
shall
you
shewe
in
youre
yeares
account
that
you
haue
kepte
your
conscience
vnwounded
,
vnburdened
,
as
Samuels
was
before
the
Lorde
:
you
may
chaunce
els
to
get
such
spottes
and
scarres
in
this
yéere
,
as
will
not
out
agayne
before
the
Iudgement
daye
,
the
which
the
Lorde
God
forbid
.
Amen
.
And
as
for
thée
London
,
I
must
néeds
say
thou
art
déepe
in
debte
,
double
and
treble
daunger
doth
enuiron
thée
round
about
,
and
compasse
thée
in
on
euery
side
,
for
thou
dost
ouerflowe
with
sinne
.
Euen
as
a
Cundit●

,
Amen
.
