Lord

MEN
,
brethren
and
fathers
,
yea
&
whosoeuer
amongst
you
truly
feareth
God
,
vnfainedly
loueth
his
lawe
,
stedfastlye
beleeueth
his
promises
,
and
sincerely
obeieth
his
wil
to
you
,
and
to
euery
one
of
you
,
I
say
,
are
the
words
of
trueth
,
and
exhortation
following
directed
:
not
of
a
hatefull
heart
I
assure
you
against
any
,
for
I
wish
&
would
labour
your
good
generally
,
and
especially
the
saluation
of
your
soules
,
as
mine
owne
:
nor
yet
of
a
minde
curious
in
other
mens
causes
,
with
the
neglect
of
them
that
belong
to
my selfe
,
for
I
know
it
to
bee
displeasing
before
God
,
and
vnprofitable
to
my selfe
,
but
of
an
earnest
desire
in
christian
charitie
,
by
al
meanes
lawful
,
and
that
according
to
my
vttermost
abilitie
,
to
assay
to
doe
good
vnto
others
,
as
vnto
mine
owne
soule
,
and
to
labour
what
I
can
,
the
setting
forth
of
his
glory
,
that
hath
created
vs
and
placed
vs
in
this
worlde
,
for
that
speciall
end
and
purpose
,
that
so
at
the
last
also
,
after
we
haue
a
little
glorified
him
here
,
we
might
thorough
his
mercie
,
and
Christs
merites
,
obtaine
the
fruition
of
euerlasting
life
,
and
the
immortall
glorification
of
our
bodies
and
soules
,
in
that
great
and
last
day
.
Wherein
,
if
either
thorow
the
vncleanenes
of
my
heart
,
or
the
pollution
of
my
hands
,
or
thorow
any
other
weakenes
or
want
in
mee
,
or
of
mee
,
I
shall
misse
of
my
purpose
:
or
else
thorow
the
carelesnesse
,
contempt
,
or
any
other
corruption
besides
,
of
those
into
whose
hands
this
treatise
shall
come
,
these
poore
labors
shal
not
sort
these
desired
effects
,
I
shall
for
mine
own
and
their
transgressions
(
which
are
lettes
and
hinderances
to
so
worthie
a
worke
)
mourne
in
my
soule
in
secret
,
to
see
or
heare
the
hand
of
God
come
forth
so
heauilie
against
vs
for
our
sinnes
,
and
yet
I
shall
againe
comfort
my selfe
,
as
well
as
I
can
,
not
onely
in
this
of
heathen
men
,
that
in
great
and
hard
matters
to
haue
a
will
is
sufficient
,
but
especially
in
that
heauenly
speech
of
the
holy
apostle
,
that
God
(
if
there
be
first
a
willing
&
cheerefull
mind
)
accepteth
vs
according
to
that
wee
haue
,
and
not
according
to
that
we
haue
not
:
this
being
alwaies
prouided
also
,
that
that
good
,
whether
it
bee
of
affection
,
or
of
action
,
that
wee
haue
,
we
haue
from
him
,
who
worketh
in
vs
both
the
will
and
the
deede
,
according
to
his
own
good
pleasure
,
and
therefore
will
accept
it
in
vs
,
as
his
own
good
worke
,
notwithstanding
our
imperfections
and
defects
cleauing
thereto
.
What
a
fearefull
fire
fell
in
the
towne
of
Wooburne
,
in
the
Countie
of
Bedford
,
on
Saturday
,
as
they
call
it
,
the
thirteenth
of
September
last
past
,
sundrie
of
the
people
there
felt
,
to
their
extreame
losses
,
yea
vtter
vndooing
,
diuers
did
behold
to
their
great
griefe
,
and
many
haue
heard
of
,
euen
to
the
sorrow
of
their
hearts
.
This
was
so
much
the
more
lamentable
,
not
onely
because
it
burnt
vp
sundrie
houses
,
&
baies
of
building
,
to
the
number
as
I
take
it
,
of
some
hundred
and
thirtie
,
one
with
another
such
as
they
were
,
of
dwelling
howses
,
and
out
houses
,
as
barnes
,
stables
,
houels
,
and
such
like
,
but
also
because
it
consumed
whatsoeuer
store
was
laide
vp
in
the
same
,
as
corne
,
hey
,
wood
,
ferne
,
and
such
other
like
prouision
,
for
man
and
for
beast
,
for
the
backe
and
the
bellie
,
to
bake
and
to
brew
with
,
and
for
such
other
both
necessarie
vse
,
and
profitable
maintenance
:
yea
(
which
may
adde
to
&
increase
the
pitifulnes
of
the
spectacle
,
and
the
very
matter
of
the
narration
it selfe
)
not
only
many
things
within
the
house
,
being
almost
vtterly
spoyled
,
broken
to
peeces
and
consumed
,
as
tables
,
stooles
,
bedsteds
,
wainscot
,
presses
,
glasse
in
the
windowes
,
pewter
,
brasse
,
copper
,
leather
,
and
such
like
,
but
euen
of
that
which
was
caried
into
the
streetes
to
saue
it
,
if
it
might
be
,
from
the
force
of
the
fire
,
as
linnen
,
bedding
,
platters
,
dishes
,
kettles
,
much
stolen
away
,
and
sundrie
sortes
of
ware
,
of
the
traders
of
the
towne
,
as
frise
,
durance
,
sheewes
,
and
such
like
,
purloyned
&
imbeseled
.
By
meanes
whereof
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
the
most
of
them
are
greatlie
weakened
,
as
in
respect
of
that
poore
estate
worldly
,
which
before
they
enioyed
,
yea
that
diuers
of
them
hauing
their
store
and
prouision
consumed
,
and
as
it
were
eaten
vp
with
the
flame
of
the
fire
,
hardly
haue
for
themselues
,
their
wiues
,
children
,
and
seruants
,
breade
to
slake
hunger
,
drinke
to
coole
thirst
,
wood
to
warme
them
with
all
,
or
houses
to
hide
their
heads
in
,
I
will
not
say
conuenient
(
for
that
were
a
great
mercie
in
this
iudgement
)
but
not
such
as
ouer
head
,
are
able
to
keepe
out
the
raine
,
snow
,
and
other
moysture
that
falleth
from
heauen
,
or
on
the
sides
to
beate
backe
the
boysterous
windes
,
and
cold
ayre
,
this
indeede
being
rather
wrought
,
by
the
indiscretion
or
rage
of
some
,
that
came
in
to
succor
and
helpe
their
distresse
,
by
bursting
in
peeces
the
tiles
of
the
house
,
and
breaking
downe
walles
,
windowes
,
glasse
,
and
all
(
and
yet
no
doubt
of
it
,
ment
to
doe
their
best
indeuours
,
for
ayde
and
reliefe
)
than
by
the
violence
or
vehemencie
of
the
fire
.
Many
I
doubt
not
,
are
greatly
egar
,
and
greedie
as
it
were
,
to
heare
of
,
and
to
vnderstand
the
meane
whereby
this
miserable
fire
,
and
fearefull
flame
was
inkindled
:
which
desire
of
theirs
,
as
I
cannot
mislike
,
if
it
bee
free
from
new fanglednes
and
curiositie
,
and
haue
this
adioyned
there
withall
,
that
they
labour
what
they
can
,
to
make
a
good
and
profitable
vse
of
the
same
:
so
will
I
to
my
vttermost
abilitie
,
though
not
in
all
and
euery
particular
,
yet
in
truth
and
plainenes
,
assay
to
satisfie
,
and
certifie
them
thereof
.
A
simple
old
woman
,
as
simple
and
seelie
,
as
euer
I
knew
almost
,
slow
in
speech
,
deafe
in
hearing
,
and
which
is
worst
of
all
,
very
dull
of
vnderstanding
and
sense
(
named
for
her
age
,
olde
Ioane
)
dwelling
in
a
poore
cottage
,
at
the
further
ende
of
the
towne
,
towards
Brickhill
,
hauing
shifted
her
bed
strawe
,
and
put
new
thereinto
,
laide
the
olde
in
the
chimney
of
her
saide
house
,
supposing
in
deede
,
as
she
affirmeth
,
that
there
had
bin
no
fire
in
the
same
.
Afterwards
going
abroad
,
about
some
businesses
that
she
had
to
doe
,
though
verilie
they
were
but
meane
and
small
(
as
such
poore
folkes
haue
no
great
affayres
)
the
cinders
and
sparkes
that
were
in
the
same
chimney
,
tooke
hold
of
that
straw
,
so
carelesly
cast
thereinto
,
and
inflamed
,
and
by
meanes
thereof
set
on
fire
that
thatched
house
,
and
in
very
short
time
tooke
holde
of
others
adioyning
vnto
it
,
that
were
thatched
also
,
and
so
proceeded
in
fearefull
both
measure
and
manner
,
from
one
to
another
,
till
it
had
made
that
lamentable
desolation
,
that
is
yet
to
bee
seene
.
And
as
this
was
the
beginning
of
this
wofull
worke
,
so
was
it
without
al
doubt
very
much
furthered
,
by
the
absence
of
sundry
the
inhabitants
of
that
towne
,
who
being
at
that
time
far
from
home
,
and
abroad
in
the
fieldes
about
their
worldly
affayres
,
could
neither
so
prouidently
preuent
the
rage
of
that
fire
,
nor
so
powerfullie
put
it
out
,
as
by
all
probabilitie
they
might
haue
done
,
had
they
been
at
the
very
beginning
thereof
.
Besides
this
is
most
certaine
,
that
the
Lord
raised
vp
euen
almost
at
that
very
instant
,
a
great
and
mightie
wind
,
to
carrie
it
as
it
were
from
one
house
or
place
to
another
(
the
fire
also
it selfe
,
naturally
gathering
winde
vnto
it
)
(
as
to
mee
was
tolde
)
was
euen
made
thereby
the
more
forcible
and
furious
,
whilst
all
things
,
that
either
they
had
for
defence
,
or
had
gotten
in
for
prouision
,
were
so
far
off
from
lessening
the
furie
of
the
fire
,
that
they
did
rather
increase
the
same
.
For
besides
,
that
the
thatch
of
their
barnes
and
out
houses
,
was
greatly
dried
with
much
and
long
parching
heate
and
drouth
going
before
,
&
so
they
were
the
more
meete
matter
,
for
the
flame
to
set
vpon
,
besides
this
I
say
,
their
corne
,
their
hay
,
their
wood
,
their
ferne
,
and
other
prouision
laide
thereinto
,
and
being
very
drily
inned
,
as
they
vse
to
saye
,
was
fit
foode
for
the
fire
to
feede
vpon
,
not
onely
for
the
increase
of
the
extreame
heate
,
and
violent
rage
of
the
fire
it selfe
,
but
euen
to
the
turning
and
burning
of
the
matter
it selfe
into
dust
and
powder
.
And
not
onely
the
sodaine
,
but
the
great
puffes
and
blastes
of
the
saide
winde
also
,
did
carrie
sparkes
&
flames
from
one
house
to
another
,
yea
(
which
is
more
strange
)
from
the
one
side
of
the
towne
to
the
other
:
this
being
by
the
faithfull
testimonie
of
sundry
credible
persons
,
not
onely
eare
,
but
eye
witnesses
also
,
truely
reported
,
that
there
was
by
the
violence
and
vehemency
of
the
same
winde
taken
vp
,
from
one
of
the
houses
so
consumed
,
and
standing
not
farre
from
the
Church
,
a
flake
of
thatch
inflamed
,
as
broad
as
it
were
a
sheete
,
and
caried
quite
and
cleane
ouer
the
Chauncell
of
the
Church
,
the
schoolehouse
,
and
some
other
housing
of
the
west
side
of
the
towne
,
and
fell
vpon
some
of
the
housing
of
the
east
side
of
the
said
towne
,
where
also
it
burned
some
fifteene
or
sixteene
baye
of
building
as
I
take
it
.
To
all
this
we
may
adde
,
as
meanes
to
increase
this
inkindled
flame
,
the
carefulnes
of
the
people
,
come
together
out
of
the
fieldes
,
and
their
carelesnes
also
.
If
any
man
thinke
it
strange
,
that
such
contraries
should
either
be
in
one
and
the
selfe
same
subiect
,
or
further
one
and
the
selfe
same
action
,
let
him
weigh
,
that
the
care
that
they
had
,
to
carrie
some
of
their
goods
out
of
their
dwelling
houses
,
into
the
streetes
and
other
places
,
least
the
fire
also
should
haue
taken
hold
therof
,
made
them
carelesse
to
stop
the
passage
of
the
fire
,
which
driuen
as
I
say
,
by
the
force
of
the
wind
,
did
not
only
passe
speedily
from
one
place
to
another
,
but
made
as
it
were
a
glade
from
the
end
of
the
town
,
on
the
backside
of
it
especially
,
euen
to
the
Churche
or
temple
yet
standing
there
(
thanks
be
to
God
)
not
much
decayed
or
defaced
,
to
the
end
the
people
might
more
diligently
resorte
and
repaire
thereto
,
and
more
fruitfully
profite
by
the
heauenly
exercises
there
performed
,
than
ther
haue
done
,
or
else
God
will
proceed
further
,
yea
more
fiercely
against
it
,
the
towne
and
all
.
And
which
is
not
of
least
consequence
concerning
this
cause
:
Though
the
people
of
the
countrey
came
in
very
louingly
and
readily
,
(
many
of
them
leauing
their
owne
labours
,
and
freeing
their
hired
workemen
from
their
taske
,
and
paying
them
notwithstanding
their
daies
wages
)
to
helpe
to
extinguish
and
quench
the
fire
,
and
indeed
though
diuers
of
them
wrought
and
toiled
very
sore
and
hard
there
about
:
yet
some
thorow
want
of
experience
,
in
such
particular
actions
and
causes
,
and
other
some
for
lacke
of
good
guidance
and
direction
,
(
a
special
remedie
doubtlesse
in
such
extreame
and
dangerous
causes
)
tooke
not
the
readiest
and
easiest
way
to
stop
or
hinder
the
passage
of
this
fearefull
flame
,
but
being
as
commonly
people
are
,
in
other
cases
of
greater
quiet
,
and
therefore
no
maruaile
in
this
hurly burlie
,
of
many
mindes
,
what
thorowe
ignorance
and
strangenes
of
the
sight
,
and
want
of
experience
in
such
vnusuall
actions
,
confounded
in
themselues
,
cried
some
one
thing
and
some
another
,
and
indeede
did
some
one
thing
and
some
another
,
all
supposing
they
saide
and
did
for
the
best
,
but
indeed
,
though
not
of
purpose
(
for
I
dare
not
so
much
as
thinke
that
any
caried
such
bad
minds
)
increased
rather
the
desolation
and
wast
,
than
any
manner
of
way
lessened
the
same
.
In
all
this
lamentable
discourse
or
narration
,
there
are
surely
many
points
worthy
the
obseruation
and
marking
:
all
and
euerie
one
whereof
directly
tende
to
the
manifestation
of
most
excellent
things
in
God
himselfe
,
for
example
,
his
great
power
,
his
gracious
prouidence
,
his
perfect
iustice
,
his
heauenly
wisdome
,
and
mercie
more
than
fatherly
,
yea
more
than
can
be
spoken
or
thought
of
:
and
to
the
declaration
of
many
foule
and
feareful
corruptions
,
that
lie
lurking
in
vs
,
and
altogether
serue
for
our
Christian
admonition
and
instruction
,
as
well
for
that
which
is
past
and
present
,
as
also
for
all
time
hereafter
to
come
,
specially
if
wee
haue
eies
to
see
the
wayes
of
God
in
his
works
,
or
hearts
to
tremble
at
his
iudgements
,
or
mindes
that
can
bee
affected
with
his
fauours
,
or
any
grace
and
abilitie
to
make
good
vse
either
of
the
one
,
or
of
the
other
.
For
tell
me
I
pray
you
first
,
was
not
this
a
plaine
proofe
of
his
power
,
vpon
so
small
beginnings
to
make
so
great
a
flame
,
and
wasting
fire
?
to
execute
his
iudgement
by
so
weake
instruments
and
meanes
?
to
raise
vp
the
creatures
for
the
further
dispersing
of
the
iudgement
?
to
accomplish
his
owne
purpose
and
counsell
,
in
so
short
a
season
,
and
small
a
time
?
to
strike
such
feare
and
amazednes
into
the
mindes
,
not
onely
of
weake
women
and
little
children
,
but
of
men
(
who
seeme
to
haue
more
courage
and
wisdome
)
that
their
heads
should
not
be
able
to
deuise
what
were
most
profitable
,
nor
their
hands
fit
to
execute
anie
thing
to
speake
of
in
comparison
?
If
any
and
euery
one
of
these
be
euident
declarations
of
his
might
and
maiestie
,
what
then
are
al
these
together
,
but
strong
instruments
more
effectually
to
perswade
our
hearts
in
his
all-working
and
almightie
power
?
And
dooth
not
this
shew
his
wonderfull
prouidence
,
that
he
did
not
onely
beare
the
persons
of
all
and
euery
one
of
them
,
as
it
were
vpon
the
wings
of
his
gracious
goodnes
,
so
as
wee
may
by
a
manner
of
speech
saye
,
and
confesse
it
to
the
glory
of
his
name
,
and
the
strengthening
of
our
perswasion
in
trouble
against
time
to
come
,
that
not
one
of
them
did
so
much
as
dash
his
foot
against
a
stone
,
but
spared
much
of
that
,
that
the
fire
had
,
as
wee
may
say
,
laid
handes
on
,
and
the
flame
no
doubt
,
woulde
haue
consumed
that
,
that
it
had
fearefully
taken
hold
of
,
had
not
he
restrained
it
,
and
kept
it
as
it
were
in
his
fist
?
Doth
not
this
argue
hisiustice
,
in
striking
for
sinne
?
he
that
knoweth
Gods
nature
will
easily
giue
glory
to
God
in
it
,
and
confesse
the
truth
.
For
we
know
by
the
trueth
of
the
worde
,
and
our
experience
and
obseruation
in
the
world
,
that
he
delighteth
not
in
punishing
the
sonnes
of
men
,
and
if
their
transgressions
were
not
as
it
were
gable
ropes
to
hale
downe
iudgements
,
surelie
men
should
neuer
taste
of
this
,
howsoeuer
it
might
be
alwayes
in
the
diuine
nature
.
Nay
I
will
say
more
.
May
wee
not
as
well
in
the
maner
of
the
iudgement
,
as
in
the
iudgement
it selfe
,
yea
in
the
very
things
striken
with
his
wrath
,
beholde
the
haude
of
God
punishing
the
sinnes
of
men
,
in
those
members
and
matters
,
they
had
most
abused
to
licenciousnesse
and
euill
.
Yea
to
speake
more
plainely
of
this
particular
,
was
it
not
a
token
of
wrath
from
aboue
,
by
fire
to
consume
their
bread
,
meate
,
and
strong
drinke
,
that
they
had
prepared
against
the
faire
,
thereby
to
put
them
in
mind
how
they
haue
offended
,
yea
doe
offend
(
notwithstanding
this
chastisement
and
correction
)
in
abusing
these
blessings
to
gourmandise
,
and
drunkennes
?
And
doth
not
this
manifest
his
wisedome
,
that
in
that
outwarde
iudgement
he
hath
scourged
,
as
sundry
prophane
and
carelesse
men
,
so
some
also
that
in
some
measure
,
do
vnfainedly
feare
his
name
,
heartily
loue
his
trueth
,
and
carefully
walke
in
obedience
of
his
will
?
And
why
hath
hee
done
it
?
Surely
that
in
both
sorts
,
they
themselues
and
al
men
might
see
,
that
if
God
,
as
in
respect
of
outward
punishment
,
spare
not
his
owne
people
(
who
are
as
deare
to
him
as
the
apple
of
his
eye
)
he
will
much
lesse
in
this
,
or
that
which
is
to
come
,
winke
at
the
sinnes
of
the
wicked
,
(
for
if
iudgement
beginne
at
the
house
of
God
,
as
Saint
Peter
saith
,
what
shall
be
the
end
of
them
that
obey
not
the
gospell
of
God
?
)
and
that
his
seruants
might
vnderstand
,
that
therefore
they
are
chastened
of
the
Lord
in
this
life
,
to
the
end
that
the
drosse
of
their
corruption
being
scoured
from
them
,
they
shoulde
not
perishe
with
this
wicked
world
.
And
as
for
his
mercie
,
what
can
wee
cast
our
eie
vpon
(
I
will
not
say
,
if
wee
looke
vpon
it
with
sanctified
and
inlightned
minds
from
aboue
,
but
euen
in
the
light
of
reason
or
nature
)
and
that
in
this
very
desolation
it self
?
or
thinke
vpon
with
our
mindes
,
in
which
we
may
not
see
the
glory
of
it
breake
forth
as
the
sunne
in
his
greatest
brightnes
?
For
if
the
Prophet
Ieremiah
for
himselfe
and
his
people
,
did
frankly
confesse
it
,
as
he
doth
indeed
,
Lament.
3.
that
it
was
the
Lords
mercie
that
they
were
not
consumed
:
And
the
faithfull
in
Isaiah
,
willingly
acknowledge
,
that
vnles
the
Lord
of
hosts
had
reserued
some
,
though
but
few
,
they
had
beene
as
Sodom
,
and
made
like
vnto
Gomorrah
?
Haue
not
wee
as
good
cause
,
with
vnfained
minds
and
mouths
,
also
to
speak
and
declare
the
same
?
More
than
the
one
halfe
of
the
towne
,
by
much
,
was
neither
touched
by
fire
(
howsoeuer
it
was
threatned
therewith
)
nor
receiued
any
great
losse
:
and
yet
I
hope
they
thinke
not
themselues
more
righteous
than
the
rest
,
sure
I
am
they
should
not
imagine
any
such
thing
,
for
euen
amongst
them
that
felt
not
the
flame
,
I
am
sure
there
were
as
great
transgressors
,
as
they
that
tasted
of
it
.
And
as
for
them
vpon
whom
the
losse
did
light
,
and
indeede
lieth
very
heauilie
,
a
great
part
of
their
dwelling
houses
,
I
confesse
was
sore
set
vpon
&
assaulted
,
yea
very
much
scorched
with
fire
,
but
yet
not
destroyed
:
much
also
of
their
goods
or
housholde
stuffe
graciously
spared
,
though
greatly
defaced
&
impaired
.
And
which
is
a
very
rare
&
strange
thing
,
specially
in
so
exemplary
a
iudgment
,
none
of
them
or
theirs
,
in
their
bodies
or
persons
,
hurt
with
this
fearful
flame
.
Nay
which
is
more
:
of
all
that
confused
multitude
that
was
there
for
needful
help
and
succour
,
some
running
one
way
and
some
another
,
some
crying
one
thing
,
and
some
another
,
some
doing
this
,
and
some
that
,
and
all
as
if
it
were
a
beast
of
many
heads
for
the
time
,
by
reason
they
were
without
good
guides
or
gouernement
,
not
one
of
them
all
I
saye
,
for
ought
I
heard
,
maymed
or
hurt
.
Surely
,
if
a
better
eie
had
not
watched
ouer
them
than
humane
,
and
a
more
not
onely
mightie
,
but
gracious
hand
vphelde
them
,
than
their
owne
,
a
thousand
to
one
as
wee
say
in
our
prouerbe
,
but
that
in
climing
of
houses
,
beating
downe
of
tiles
,
occupying
of
axes
,
casting
of
water
,
(
all
which
and
many
the
like
are
vsed
in
such
fearefull
extremities
)
euery
one
besides
running
thicke
and
threefold
in
anothers
necke
,
but
that
diuers
had
beene
wounded
,
if
not
slaine
.
And
yet
to
the
end
we
might
behold
,
euen
as
it
were
with
our
bodily
eyes
,
as
well
as
with
the
eies
of
our
minde
,
Gods
great
and
gracious
goodnes
,
not
one
of
so
many
did
miscarrie
,
or
was
as
we
may
say
,
scarse
touched
at
all
,
with
any
dangers
either
deadly
or
grieuous
.
What
shall
we
say
then
?
without
all
controuersie
,
he
that
cannot
learne
by
that
which
is
past
,
to
feare
and
tremble
before
God
in
so
fearefull
a
iudgement
,
must
needes
be
deemed
to
haue
at
the
least
,
a
carelesse
hart
,
if
not
benummed
and
senselesse
.
For
shall
the
Lion
roare
,
and
not
all
the
beastes
of
the
forrest
feare
?
And
he
that
cannot
bee
thankfull
for
the
gracious
reseruation
,
that
God
of
his
meere
mercie
hath
made
both
of
men
,
buildings
,
goods
,
&c.
and
that
as
well
for
other
mens
as
for
his
owne
,
may
iustly
bee
said
to
bee
of
an
vnthankfull
minde
and
mouth
to
Godwarde
,
and
of
an
vncharitable
heart
towards
his
brethren
.
And
whosoeuer
cannot
vse
it
to
further
him
in
faith
vnfained
,
and
sincere
repentance
,
as
in
regard
of
the
former
part
of
his
life
mispent
,
and
for
carefulnesse
&
circumspection
for
that
which
is
to
come
,
let
him
doubt
at
the
least
if
not
despaire
of
his
present
and
subsequent
condition
.
For
if
God
shall
giue
vs
so
liuely
documentes
as
these
are
,
and
wee
not
receiue
instruction
thereby
,
or
bee
in
some
good
measure
bettered
thereby
,
both
for
knowledge
,
beliefe
,
and
obedience
,
hee
shall
haue
iust
occasion
to
take
vp
that
grieuous
complaint
against
vs
,
which
he
hath
done
to
men
of
like
qualitie
and
disposition
,
and
to
say
,
Hearken
O
heauens
,
&
thou
O
earth
,
heare
,
for
the
Lord
speaketh
:
I
haue
brought
vp
children
,
yea
I
haue
exalted
them
,
but
falling
away
they
haue
rebelled
against
me
.
The
oxe
knoweth
his
owner
,
and
the
asse
his
Masters
cribbe
,
but
Israell
knoweth
not
,
my
people
consider
not
.
Ah
sinfull
nation
,
ah
people
laden
with
iniquitie
,
a
very
wicked
seede
,
corrupted
children
:
they
haue
forsaken
the
Lorde
,
they
haue
contemptuously
prouoked
the
holy
one
of
Israell
:
wherefore
should
ye
be
smitten
any
more
,
sith
you
increase
your
falling
away
:
the
whole
head
is
dangerouslie
sicke
,
and
the
whole
heart
languisheth
,
from
the
sole
of
the
foote
to
the
toppe
of
the
head
,
there
is
no
soundnes
,
but
wounds
and
swellings
,
and
a
sore
that
runneth
continuallie
,
&c.
which
miserable
mischiefes
,
and
grieuous
inconueniences
,
that
we
may
thorow
Gods
goodnes
speedily
auoide
,
as
also
by
the
same
assuredly
attaine
the
contrary
good
thinges
:
it
shall
bee
good
for
vs
to
marke
,
first
the
hand
that
striketh
vs
,
lest
otherwise
not
knowing
that
,
we
runne
whither
wee
should
not
,
and
forsake
that
we
ought
to
cleaue
vnto
.
Secondly
,
the
causes
mouing
such
exemplary
iudgement
,
because
the
ignorance
thereof
may
make
vs
to
lay
it
where
wee
should
not
,
and
to
cleere
them
that
wee
ought
to
charge
.
And
lastly
,
the
endes
that
are
aimed
at
in
these
chastisements
,
because
as
we
are
not
afflicted
without
cause
,
so
we
are
not
chastised
but
to
some
good
and
holy
purpose
.
Hee
that
thus
correcteth
men
,
is
euen
the
eternall
God
himselfe
,
as
we
may
well
see
,
not
only
by
this
generall
sentence
of
the
Prophet
Amos
,
saying
,
Is
there
any
euill
in
the
citie
that
the
Lord
hath
not
done
?
chap.
3.
meaning
by
the
terme
euill
,
the
euill
of
punishment
and
affliction
,
and
not
the
euill
of
sinne
and
transgression
,
because
God
cannot
that
way
(
hee
is
so
absolutely
good
)
be
an
actor
at
al
:
but
also
by
the
particular
confession
,
that
Iob
the
holy
man
of
God
maketh
,
when
hee
saith
,
euen
of
the
greatest
iudgements
almost
,
that
can
fall
out
vpon
men
in
this
life
:
The
Lorde
hath
giuen
,
the
Lord
hath
taken
away
,
blessed
be
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
And
as
Gods
word
doth
almost
euery
where
in
plaine
and
audible
termes
affirme
the
same
,
saying
,
The
Lord
doth
whatsoeuer
pleaseth
him
,
both
in
heauen
,
and
in
earth
,
and
in
all
deepe
places
:
so
reason
grounded
vpon
religion
confirmeth
it
likewise
.
For
if
this
be
not
so
,
why
doe
we
say
we
beleeue
with
our
hearts
,
and
confesse
with
our
mouthes
that
God
is
almightie
?
Is
it
not
because
wee
are
certainly
perswaded
both
by
the
will
of
GOD
reuealed
in
his
worde
,
and
by
his
workes
manifested
in
the
world
,
that
no
such
things
as
these
,
are
or
can
bee
performed
,
but
by
not
onely
his
permission
and
prouidence
(
which
indeed
reach
not
vnto
the
actions
of
God
,
otherwise
than
as
he
suffereth
and
foreseeth
the
same
,
but
to
his
determination
,
councell
,
foresight
,
or
appointment
)
but
by
his
al-sufficient
might
and
power
also
,
at
all
times
,
in
all
places
,
and
in
all
thinges
,
ruling
,
yea
ouerruling
the
same
,
according
to
the
good
pleasure
of
his
owne
will
:
which
if
it
were
not
true
,
we
should
in
our
profession
of
it
,
haue
been
found
falsifiers
of
trueth
,
and
in
our
perswasions
of
it
,
deceiuers
of
our
owne
hearts
.
Neither
doth
this
hinder
it
(
howsoeuer
in
humane
reason
it
may
seeme
so
)
that
in
the
execution
of
his
councels
,
he
vseth
means
.
For
as
we
are
sure
,
that
with
meanes
,
and
without
meanes
,
yea
and
against
meanes
too
,
hee
can
performe
whatsoeuer
he
will
,
either
as
in
regard
of
the
grieuous
punishment
of
the
wicked
,
or
as
in
respect
of
the
mercifull
deliuerance
of
his
owne
people
(
which
we
may
plainly
and
particularly
see
,
in
the
passage
of
the
Israelites
thorow
the
red
sea
,
that
not
only
giuing
them
way
,
but
being
as
a
wal
for
them
on
the
right
hand
,
and
on
the
left
,
and
seruing
of
or
the
drowning
of
the
Egyptians
therein
)
so
hee
both
appoynteth
and
vseth
the
meanes
,
not
for
any
impotencie
,
or
weaknes
in
himselfe
,
for
hee
is
the
God
of
all
might
and
power
,
communicating
it
in
great
measure
to
many
,
and
yet
hauing
neuer
a
whit
the
lesse
in
himselfe
,
and
brideling
that
that
hee
hath
giuen
them
,
making
their
rage
also
to
turne
to
his
praise
,
but
that
he
might
the
more
effectually
humble
,
who
being
grosse
of
nature
,
are
hardly
brought
vnder
,
or
made
to
stoope
,
but
by
such
apparant
and
forcible
meanes
.
And
this
may
appeare
,
not
onely
then
when
he
vseth
grosse
and
outward
meanes
(
and
yet
the
same
powerfull
also
)
because
they
better
sort
with
our
nature
,
&
more
liuely
affect
all
our
senses
,
but
euen
then
when
hee
maketh
the
weakest
,
and
the
meanest
able
to
effect
most
great
and
excellent
matters
.
And
therfore
vnles
we
be
in
sinne
hardned
as
flints
,
these
and
such
like
things
,
cannot
chuse
,
but
pinch
and
pearce
vs
very
farre
.
To
apply
all
this
to
our
particular
,
as
purpose
,
so
past
,
yea
and
if
you
will
present
visitation
also
:
which
howsoeuer
,
as
in
regard
of
time
it
be
past
alreadie
,
yet
are
the
monuments
,
&
the
very
cinders
therof
so
present
before
vs
,
that
all
our
senses
,
sight
,
hearing
,
feeling
,
smelling
,
tasting
,
may
still
,
yea
and
I
feare
me
will
a
long
while
bee
satisfied
therewith
.
Wherein
though
the
Lord
vsed
the
carelesnes
and
negligence
of
a
sillie
poore
wretched
woman
,
for
the
beginning
of
this
punishment
,
as
you
haue
heard
alreadie
;
and
though
for
the
continuance
,
increase
and
carrying
of
it
,
yea
scattering
of
it
abroad
,
he
raised
vp
a
mightie
wind
,
&
other
instruments
and
meanes
aboue
expressed
,
to
serue
his
own
turne
with
,
for
the
declaration
of
his
maiestie
,
and
the
chastisements
of
the
sinnes
of
the
people
:
yet
still
if
wee
haue
any
grace
,
we
must
stedfastly
looke
vpon
him
,
&
vnfeignedly
confesse
,
that
he
as
it
were
alone
,
hath
wrought
this
great
worke
.
And
the
knowledge
and
practise
of
this
poynt
dooth
holy
Iob
teach
vs
,
and
that
not
onely
in
matters
of
the
like
nature
and
euent
,
but
in
such
plaine
termes
also
,
as
wil
admit
or
receiue
no
other
construction
.
For
howsoeuer
he
was
not
ignorant
of
,
yea
by
the
credible
report
of
his
escaped
seruants
,
he
knewe
well
enough
,
and
was
perswaded
,
that
the
Caldeans
,
Sabeans
,
Satan
and
al
,
had
as
it
were
conspired
and
consented
,
but
yet
euerie
one
,
in
and
about
the
thinges
wherein
they
were
imployed
,
as
for
example
,
in
driuing
away
his
cattle
,
as
it
had
beene
a
praye
or
spoyle
obtained
in
iust
warre
,
in
the
ouerthrowing
of
that
house
wherein
his
children
were
banquetting
,
and
in
the
rest
of
the
miseries
and
afflictions
that
God
was
pleased
to
exercise
him
withall
,
yet
doth
he
from
the
hart
,
frankly
and
freely
confesse
and
say
,
The
Lord
hath
giuen
,
the
Lorde
hath
taken
away
:
And
to
his
discomfortable
and
wicked
wife
affirme
,
Shall
wee
receiue
good
at
the
hand
of
God
,
and
not
receiue
euill
also
?
And
indeed
if
we
be
not
thorowly
perswaded
of
this
in
our
hearts
,
as
by
the
cleere
light
of
the
worde
,
so
by
the
gracious
working
of
Gods
blessed
spirite
in
our
seuerall
soules
,
we
shall
with
the
blind
and
superstitious
of
the
world
,
irreligiously
ascribe
as
they
doe
,
the
matters
and
occurences
that
fall
out
in
this
life
,
to
fortune
and
secondary
causes
,
which
is
nothing
else
in
trueth
,
but
to
spoyle
and
robbe
the
diuine
maiestie
of
his
power
,
prouidence
,
wisedome
,
iustice
,
and
whatsoeuer
therein
is
most
excellent
.
And
if
we
doe
not
with
a
sound
mind
and
mouth
,
giue
glory
to
God
therin
,
and
confesse
it
to
the
praise
of
his
name
,
surely
it
is
impossible
,
either
to
minister
sound
consolation
to
others
that
are
distressed
,
a
dutie
that
in
charitie
we
are
bound
to
performe
towardes
men
,
or
with
patience
and
comfort
to
vndergoe
our
owne
calamities
and
miseries
,
a
cause
that
we
ought
greatly
to
care
for
,
or
quietly
and
confidently
to
expect
a
ioyfull
issue
of
them
and
way
to
escape
therefrom
,
a
matter
that
we
must
patiently
hope
for
,
or
else
all
will
bee
nought
on
our
sides
.
For
howe
is
it
likely
that
a
man
should
quietly
indure
the
crosses
and
losses
that
fall
vpon
him
,
who
knoweth
not
that
they
are
inflicted
,
not
onely
by
a
superior
,
but
by
an
absolute
ouerruling
power
,
and
the
same
not
vsurped
,
but
most
holie
,
lawfull
,
&
iust
?
or
howe
can
hee
so
much
as
thinke
of
a
comfortable
deliuerance
,
that
is
not
well
and
thorowly
perswaded
of
the
almightie
power
and
prouidence
of
God
,
who
if
he
worke
it
not
for
him
,
it
can
neuer
be
effected
?
And
if
hee
cannot
as
a
skilfull
Phisitian
,
heale
the
maladies
and
sicknesses
of
his
owne
soule
,
and
minister
consolation
to
his
owne
conscience
,
how
shall
wee
imagine
him
able
to
doe
it
to
others
?
For
as
for
mens
mischieuons
minds
(
if
our
crosses
and
calamities
come
altogether
from
them
)
they
cannot
be
satisfied
,
till
wee
bee
ruinated
and
ouerthrowne
:
and
Satans
malice
specially
against
Gods
people
,
hath
neither
end
nor
measure
,
if
it
bee
not
restrained
.
This
perswasion
therefore
,
that
we
are
vnder
Gods
almightie
hand
and
power
,
in
whatsoeuer
state
or
condition
we
be
,
being
well
setled
in
our
hearts
,
will
vndoubtedly
cause
vs
,
that
in
the
time
of
our
prosperitie
,
wee
shall
not
be
puffed
vp
in
pride
aboue
measure
,
and
in
the
daies
of
our
aduersitie
,
not
to
bee
too
much
depressed
,
but
euen
for
the
time
present
patiently
to
beare
,
and
for
the
time
to
come
,
with
comfort
to
expect
and
waite
for
such
a
deliuery
and
issue
out
of
all
troubles
,
as
the
Lord
shall
see
to
be
fit
for
the
glory
of
his
name
,
the
benefit
of
his
people
,
and
our
own
euerlasting
good
.
Whereas
without
this
,
we
shal
either
with
some
of
the
wicked
languish
away
in
distrustfulnesse
;
murmuring
,
and
all
manner
of
impatiencie
,
or
with
other
some
fall
to
vngodly
deuises
and
shiftes
,
imagining
either
to
haue
our
necessities
satisfied
by
consonage
,
fraud
,
force
,
theft
,
or
some
such
like
wicked
way
,
or
else
that
our
griefes
may
and
shall
bee
recouered
by
repayring
to
witches
,
sorcerers
,
coniurers
,
and
sundry
other
such
wicked
persons
,
the
practise
wherof
we
may
beholde
to
too
many
in
our
time
ouertaken
withall
,
and
running
ryot
to
that
great
and
grieuous
excesse
of
euill
.
Wherefore
wee
may
well
see
and
say
,
that
it
much
standeth
vs
in
hand
indeed
,
yea
and
greatly
importeth
all
and
euery
one
of
vs
,
to
bee
rightly
and
religiously
perswaded
,
as
of
other
grounds
&
principles
of
Christian
religion
,
so
of
this
one
point
particularly
,
and
that
not
onely
for
the
auoyding
of
iniquitie
and
sinne
,
in
louing
&
liking
,
in
seeking
and
striuing
to
them
,
whom
for
their
grosse
and
grieuous
transgressions
,
we
ought
to
loath
and
abhorre
,
but
euen
for
the
faithfull
accomplishment
of
many
good
duties
in
pietie
towardes
God
,
in
charitie
towards
men
,
and
in
comfort
and
patience
,
as
in
respect
of
ourselues
.
For
otherwise
,
how
shall
wee
stedfastly
trust
in
,
or
religiously
call
vpon
him
,
whome
wee
beleeue
not
to
bee
almightie
?
or
how
can
wee
comfort
our selues
or
other
men
,
if
there
bee
any
power
that
is
either
equall
with
,
or
can
ouerrule
the
same
?
Nowe
wee
are
to
see
what
causes
should
moue
the
Lord
,
in
such
fearefull
measure
and
manner
,
as
many
times
he
doth
,
to
exercise
&
execute
his
iudgements
.
Of
a
truth
it
proceedeth
not
of
himselfe
,
and
his
owne
nature
,
as
though
hee
tooke
pleasure
in
punishing
the
sonnes
of
men
.
For
the
scripture
telleth
vs
in
many
places
,
that
hee
is
as
it
were
of
another
disposition
,
namely
,
slow
to
wrath
,
&
of
great
goodnes
,
and
inclinable
to
much
mercie
,
(
for
which
purpose
see
Exod.
34.
and
Psalm.
86.
)
neither
indeede
delighteth
hee
to
afflict
his
owne
creatures
,
specially
man
the
excellentest
and
chiefest
of
the
rest
.
Some
thing
then
from
elsewhere
,
must
of
necessitie
draw
him
and
driue
him
to
doe
it
,
or
else
it
could
neuer
bee
performed
From
our selues
therefore
surely
,
and
our
most
grieuous
transgressions
,
is
the
first
,
yea
and
as
a
man
may
say
,
indeede
is
the
onely
cause
of
all
our
miserie
,
of
what
kinde
,
sorte
,
or
condition
soeuer
it
bee
,
either
outwarde
in
the
bodie
,
or
inwarde
in
the
minde
,
temporall
in
this
life
,
or
euerlasting
in
that
which
is
to
come
.
Which
because
men
are
not
easily
perswaded
of
,
nor
willingly
yeelde
to
(
pride
and
conceitednes
concerning
some
good
things
in
themselues
,
taketh
so
strong
hold
of
them
,
and
possesseth
them
so
mightily
)
God
in
sundry
places
of
the
holy
scripture
,
doth
not
onely
plainely
describe
the
corruption
of
mans
nature
,
saying
,
The
thoughts
and
imaginations
of
mans
heart
are
onely
euill
,
euery
day
from
his
youth
vpwarde
:
and
againe
,
There
is
none
that
doth
good
,
no
not
one
,
they
are
al
become
corrupt
&
abominal
le
,
&c.
But
also
by
his
Prophet
peremptorily
telleth
vs
,
that
our
sins
are
they
that
make
a
separation
betwixt
the
Lord
and
vs
:
and
againe
in
another
place
,
Thy
destruction
O
Israell
is
of
thy selfe
.
For
the
further
cleering
and
confirmation
of
which
point
,
we
are
to
marke
that
God
at
the
first
made
man
,
iust
,
holy
,
innocent
,
righteous
,
&c.
but
he
not
continuing
in
that
excellent
estate
,
corrupted
himselfe
and
all
his
posteritie
,
who
as
they
were
by
creation
in
his
loynes
,
so
were
they
all
standing
with
him
in
innocencie
,
had
hee
stoode
,
and
falling
together
with
him
thorow
transgression
.
So
that
nowe
it
is
no
more
naturall
for
man
,
as
man
,
that
is
to
say
,
vitiated
and
corrupted
as
hee
is
,
to
breath
or
speake
,
than
it
is
for
all
and
euery
one
of
them
,
euery
way
and
euery
day
to
sin
.
On
the
other
side
,
God
is
a
God
,
with
whom
there
can
dwell
no
manner
of
wickednes
,
yea
whose
eies
can
at
no
hand
behold
that
which
is
euill
,
whether
it
bee
in
deuise
,
or
desire
,
in
thought
,
in
word
,
or
in
deede
.
As
soone
therfore
as
man
hath
sinned
any
manner
of
waye
,
so
soone
hath
hee
plunged
himselfe
,
as
in
regard
of
Gods
absolute
and
exact
iustice
,
into
most
grieuous
and
fearefull
iudgements
.
And
though
God
strike
not
presently
therefore
(
as
wee
see
many
times
,
according
to
his
nature
inclinable
to
mercie
,
yea
mercie
it selfe
,
hee
doth
with
much
patience
and
lenitie
forbeare
)
wee
must
not
thinke
as
the
wicked
doe
,
that
either
he
doth
it
not
,
because
he
cannot
,
(
for
what
is
it
that
hee
cannot
accomplish
?
)
or
because
hee
careth
not
for
the
sins
of
our
soules
,
for
wee
know
that
hee
hateth
sinnes
,
and
sinners
to
,
but
rather
to
expresse
the
wonderfull
ouerflowing
mercie
that
is
in
him
,
waiting
for
mens
conuersion
if
it
may
be
,
yea
assaying
to
worke
it
by
all
good
meanes
possible
,
or
else
that
forbearing
them
,
and
they
not
amending
,
he
way
the
more
sharply
and
seuerely
in
his
iustice
punish
them
for
abusing
of
his
goodnes
,
and
turning
his
grace
into
wantonnes
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
.
Which
thing
the
world
either
not
soundly
knowing
,
or
else
not
sincerely
confessing
the
same
to
bee
true
,
falleth
into
fearefull
,
dangerous
,
yea
deadly
extremities
:
sometimes
accusing
God
of
iniustice
,
as
as
that
either
he
striketh
them
without
cause
,
or
more
than
by
reason
of
the
offence
committed
,
they
haue
deserued
:
sometimes
they
post
the
cause
of
their
punishment
,
from
them selues
to
others
,
supposing
that
other
mens
sinnes
rather
than
their
owne
,
haue
thus
prouoked
the
Lord
:
and
sometimes
againe
,
they
ascribe
or
attribute
all
to
secondary
causes
,
as
to
such
a
coniunction
and
influence
,
of
such
and
such
planets
,
to
the
negligence
or
reachlesnes
of
such
and
such
persons
,
to
the
strength
and
power
of
such
and
such
windes
and
waters
,
&c.
And
sometimes
they
doe
prophanely
charge
and
accuse
their
miserable
mishap
or
fortune
,
as
they
call
it
,
making
her
with
the
heathen
a
God
,
or
goddesse
:
and
sometimes
they
fling
out
into
one
corruption
,
and
sometimes
to
another
.
By
meanes
whereof
,
they
as
much
as
in
them
lyeth
,
rob
God
of
his
gouernement
,
as
though
there
were
any
thing
that
without
him
or
against
him
did
beare
sway
in
the
worlde
,
and
spoile
him
of
his
iustice
,
as
though
that
he
,
which
indeede
is
the
onely
iust
iudge
of
the
worlde
,
could
doe
iniustice
or
wrong
,
and
forget
his
long
forbearing
hande
:
and
so
besides
that
they
depriue
him
of
his
honour
in
thankfulnes
,
profite
not
therby
to
amendment
,
&
make
other
things
,
namely
creatures
,
God
,
&
a
creator
as
it
were
,
yea
sometimes
such
things
as
neuer
were
in
the
nature
of
things
,
but
in
mans
imagination
and
conceite
onely
,
and
hinder
themselues
,
&
it
may
be
others
likewise
,
by
their
bad
example
also
,
from
the
sight
and
sense
of
sinne
,
yea
from
religious
repentance
,
and
godly
sorrow
for
the
same
,
whereby
they
might
be
led
vnto
amendment
of
life
,
not
to
bee
repented
of
,
and
plunge
themselues
into
innumerable
paines
of
bodie
and
soule
here
,
and
without
speciall
fauour
and
grace
of
forgiuenes
from
God
(
who
onely
forgiueth
sinnes
)
into
euerlasting
tormērs
in
the
world
to
come
.
Wheras
Gods
children
are
so
far
off
from
entering
into
these
corrupted
courses
,
that
many
times
before
iudgements
,
I
will
not
say
haue
seazed
vpon
them
,
but
euen
before
they
haue
beene
threatned
against
them
,
haue
yet
in
the
reuerend
feare
which
they
haue
had
in
their
harts
of
them
,
either
humbled
themselues
,
and
as
we
may
say
,
preuented
the
pouring
foorth
of
Gods
wrath
vpon
them
:
or
else
at
the
thundering
out
of
the
same
,
or
the
first
stroake
thereof
laide
vpon
them
,
haue
soundly
and
speedily
cast
downe
themselues
at
the
feete
of
Gods
mercie
,
in
faith
vnfained
,
and
sincere
repentance
,
&
so
if
not
remoued
the
temporary
or
outwarde
punishment
(
and
yet
vpon
their
submission
,
God
hath
been
pleased
many
times
,
graciously
to
graunt
the
same
)
haue
notwithstanding
found
fauor
from
the
Lord
to
vndergoe
it
for
the
present
with
patience
and
prayer
,
and
sincerely
to
profite
by
it
(
yea
indeed
to
ouercome
it
)
to
Christian
mortification
and
holy
obedience
.
As
for
the
ends
,
why
God
should
strike
vs
,
we
must
know
and
beleeue
,
that
it
is
impossible
that
they
should
be
(
whether
wee
respect
them
in
themselues
,
or
as
they
proceed
from
him
that
is
onely
good
)
of
any
other
nature
than
hee
is
.
For
as
all
his
affections
and
actions
are
meerely
and
absolutely
good
,
so
must
also
all
his
purposes
,
and
the
ends
that
he
aimeth
at
be
likewise
,
though
alwaies
happilie
by
reason
of
Satans
malice
and
mans
corruption
,
they
bring
not
forth
this
effect
in
man
.
To
make
this
plaine
by
some
particulars
.
His
loue
is
absolutelie
good
,
and
no
man
that
knoweth
what
either
GOD
or
nature
meaneth
,
can
deny
it
:
for
if
the
loue
of
earthly
creatures
,
as
of
parentes
to
children
,
husbandes
to
wiues
,
friendes
to
friends
,
&c.
bee
good
and
lawfull
,
then
that
which
is
in
and
from
the
diuine
maiestie
must
much
more
be
so
,
because
it
is
more
certaine
,
more
holy
,
and
indeed
infinite
,
he
hauing
it
also
in
himselfe
,
and
of
himselfe
absolutely
&
perfectly
good
,
whereas
others
haue
it
but
by
communication
,
and
that
in
measure
,
and
in
men
much
vitiated
and
corrupted
thorow
the
taint
of
originall
sinne
.
And
yet
this
so
excellently
and
absolutely
good
,
he
laboureth
to
manifest
,
as
in
the
correction
of
all
men
generally
,
so
particularly
of
his
owne
people
and
children
,
according
to
which
the
spirite
saith
,
in
the
Apostle
to
the
Hebrewes
.
My
sonne
despise
not
the
chastening
of
the
Lorde
,
neither
faint
when
thou
art
rebuked
of
him
,
for
whome
the
Lord
loueth
he
chastiseth
,
and
hee
scourgeth
euery
sonne
that
he
receiueth
:
And
if
we
bee
without
correction
whereof
all
are
partakers
,
than
are
we
bastards
,
and
not
sons
and
dauhgters
.
Wherefore
sith
in
this
and
such
like
actions
,
hee
aimeth
at
the
manifestation
of
his
loue
,
and
that
is
indeede
the
principall
end
of
his
chastisements
,
specially
as
in
regard
of
his
owne
people
,
it
cannot
be
but
good
.
True
it
is
that
flesh
and
bloud
seeth
not
this
,
nor
thinketh
so
.
The
reason
is
,
because
their
eyes
are
blind
,
and
their
vnderstandings
darke
.
But
as
it
is
not
reason
,
because
a
blinde
man
beholdeth
not
the
Sunne
,
to
conclude
,
there
is
no
Sunne
:
so
is
it
absurd
to
say
,
because
the
wicked
worldlings
,
neither
feele
nor
feare
these
things
,
therefore
they
are
not
.
For
these
are
as
all
the
rest
of
the
things
of
God
,
specially
as
in
respect
of
his
purpose
&
end
,
spirituall
,
and
therefore
must
bee
spiritually
discerned
:
but
they
are
carnall
,
and
sold
vnder
sinne
.
Againe
,
in
as
much
as
since
the
deprauation
&
corrupting
of
Gods
image
,
wee
are
nothing
els
but
both
in
bodie
and
soule
tainted
with
all
manner
of
euill
:
and
sith
that
euen
since
our
regeneration
and
new
birth
,
wee
carrie
about
with
vs
(
so
long
as
wee
dwell
in
these
houses
of
clay
,
and
earthly
tabernacles
)
the
relikes
and
remainders
of
sinne
:
and
we
know
by
the
light
of
the
word
,
euery
where
almost
reuealing
it
,
and
by
the
stinging
testimony
of
our
owne
heart
(
which
euen
telleth
it
vs
euery
day
that
wee
rise
vp
,
and
euery
night
that
we
lye
down
)
that
sinne
displeaseth
his
blessed
maiestie
,
and
God
hath
appointed
punishments
and
corrections
,
both
outward
&
inwarde
,
as
one
speciall
meane
to
represse
the
rage
and
power
of
euill
in
vs
,
whilest
it
scoureth
from
vs
the
drosse
of
our
corruption
,
and
so
mortifying
in
some
measure
sinne
in
vs
,
fashioneth
vs
the
better
and
more
effectually
vnto
sanctification
(
for
this
wee
may
assure
our selues
of
,
that
the
decay
of
the
one
,
is
the
increase
of
the
other
)
we
may
euen
thereby
see
,
as
if
it
were
in
a
most
cleere
and
liuely
looking
glasse
,
that
he
aimeth
at
in
these
corrections
,
which
he
hath
sealed
,
not
onely
his
owne
glorie
,
but
our
good
,
both
temporall
and
eternal
,
in
this
work
of
fatherly
chastisement
and
affliction
.
And
this
sure
cannot
chuse
but
be
good
also
,
howsoeuer
somtimes
by
reason
of
the
thicke
clowde
of
our
owne
corruption
,
interposed
between
Gods
works
and
our
reformed
iudgement
,
wee
cannot
so
sensibly
see
,
or
so
plainly
perceiue
the
same
,
as
we
would
or
should
.
Neither
is
this
al
,
the
bettering
of
vs
in
this
life
,
but
for
as
much
as
our
good
estate
here
,
is
in
the
purpose
and
councell
of
God
,
yet
through
his
owne
mercie
and
grace
onely
,
infinitely
as
I
may
say
,
to
be
bettered
in
the
life
that
is
to
come
,
and
afflictions
doe
not
only
frame
vs
to
obedience
in
this
world
,
but
in
some
sort
pledge
vp
vnto
vs
the
saluation
of
our
soules
in
eternall
blessednes
,
according
to
which
the
Apostle
affirmeth
:
We
are
chastened
of
the
Lorde
in
this
world
,
that
wee
should
not
perish
with
the
wicked
in
that
which
is
to
come
.
And
againe
the
spirit
in
another
place
sayth
:
By
many
tribulations
we
must
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
God
.
Men
by
all
this
should
be
perswaded
,
of
the
holy
purposes
&
blessed
ends
of
Gods
visitation
,
and
earnestly
labour
by
these
(
sith
God
also
himselfe
is
pleased
by
them
,
to
aime
at
that
end
,
and
to
effect
that
grace
in
vs
)
to
be
out
of
loue
and
liking
with
this
present
euill
world
,
and
all
the
vanities
and
delights
of
the
same
,
vsing
it
and
them
no
further
,
than
as
by
it
and
them
we
may
be
furthered
in
more
excellent
graces
,
and
to
hunger
and
thirst
after
that
eternal
felicitie
,
that
is
laid
vp
in
the
heauens
for
all
those
,
that
in
faith
,
patience
,
prayer
,
and
other
good
works
,
looke
for
and
long
after
his
blessed
appearing
.
Thus
we
see
what
God
mindeth
to
effect
by
striking
vs
:
but
whether
these
fruites
follow
in
men
,
let
our
own
practise
declare
.
We
are
so
far
off
from
taking
these
things
as
pledges
of
his
loue
,
that
the
more
he
layeth
vpon
vs
that
way
,
the
more
we
thinke
he
hateth
vs
.
And
the
reason
is
,
because
we
measure
these
matters
,
not
by
the
line
or
elne
of
reason
reformed
,
or
religious
reason
,
but
by
our
vnderstanding
much
corrupted
&
defaced
,
from
that
integritie
which
it
had
in
creation
.
And
then
how
can
we
in
that
darkenes
see
light
,
seeing
that
hindereth
vs
from
beholding
graces
more
cleere
than
these
,
that
are
to
be
seene
in
afflictions
and
corrections
?
And
if
wee
cannot
see
in
them
his
loue
,
till
the
thicke
scales
of
our
ignorance
be
pulled
from
the
eies
of
our
minds
,
and
vnderstanding
,
howe
shall
wee
perceiue
that
he
assayeth
our
good
therem
,
til
the
same
also
be
remoued
and
taken
away
?
For
as
we
are
hardly
perswaded
of
this
,
that
strokes
testifie
the
fauor
of
him
that
soundly
&
roundly
layeth
them
vpon
vs
:
so
shall
flesh
&
bloud
neuer
yeelde
to
this
,
that
blowes
better
vs
,
till
the
hearte
specially
inlightned
beleeue
the
same
,
and
wee
know
either
by
experience
in
our selues
,
or
by
obseruation
in
others
,
that
they
haue
not
by
nature
,
but
by
grace
,
gained
that
glorious
issue
.
The
like
may
wee
say
of
pledging
vp
vnto
vs
the
hope
of
heauen
.
For
what
man
,
if
hee
haue
not
more
in
him
than
man
,
will
imagine
that
so
harde
a
measure
of
afflictions
and
sorrowes
,
as
lie
not
onely
vpon
the
backs
,
but
are
in
the
soules
of
men
,
yea
godly
men
,
should
testifie
vnto
them
such
heauenly
graces
?
wee
rather
say
and
see
,
that
the
father
that
beateth
the
child
much
and
often
,
hardly
mindeth
to
giue
him
the
inheritance
,
and
to
make
him
Lord
and
heire
of
all
.
Howbeit
Gods
word
telleth
vs
,
that
it
is
far
otherwise
with
Gods
elect
:
for
if
wee
suffer
with
Christ
,
wee
shall
raigne
with
him
,
and
being
made
conformable
vnto
him
in
his
afflictions
,
wee
shall
also
bee
like
him
in
glory
,
wee
knowing
that
the
momentany
and
light
afflictions
of
this
life
,
doe
cause
vnto
vs
,
or
bring
with
them
a
farre
most
excellent
and
eternall
waight
of
glory
.
Nowe
whether
in
these
points
it
be
better
for
vs
,
to
beleeue
God
and
his
holy
worde
,
or
to
trust
our
owne
reason
,
and
humane
iudgement
,
I
had
almost
said
,
let
all
the
world
iudge
,
but
let
the
godly
especially
speake
their
mindes
,
and
deliuer
their
sentence
according
to
truth
and
right
.
Whatsoeuer
hitherto
hath
beene
deliuered
,
concerneth
especially
,
either
the
narration
it selfe
,
and
the
thing
done
as
we
say
,
or
els
some
profitable
pointes
arising
therefrom
,
or
appertaining
thereto
.
All
which
no
doubt
of
it
,
are
profitable
,
if
they
bee
laide
to
heart
,
to
build
vs
vp
in
knowledge
and
iudgement
.
But
there
is
another
thing
besides
,
that
as
in
all
causes
generally
,
so
particularly
in
this
,
wee
must
carefully
labour
to
attaine
to
:
and
that
is
conscience
of
the
things
that
wee
know
,
&
care
to
profite
by
them
,
to
the
bettering
of
vs
in
this
life
before
God
and
man
,
and
in
our
owne
hearts
also
,
that
so
in
the
comfortable
feeling
of
it
,
we
may
haue
assurance
of
hope
and
heart
,
that
we
shall
not
be
confounded
in
that
which
is
to
come
.
And
to
this
we
cannot
come
or
bee
brought
,
but
by
making
speciall
vse
of
and
particular
applying
vnto
our
owne
soules
,
the
points
of
instruction
,
or
the
seuerall
and
sundrie
actions
that
God
doth
for
,
or
amongst
the
sonnes
of
men
.
Without
which
indeed
,
as
in
the
publike
ministerie
,
all
paines
taken
is
but
labour
lost
,
and
as
it
were
wordes
spoken
in
the
aire
,
as
the
examples
of
former
ages
,
and
the
experience
of
our
owne
times
,
doe
but
too
sufficiently
shewe
:
so
in
al
priuate
doctrines
or
documents
,
whether
they
be
deliuered
by
the
audible
voice
of
man
,
or
propounded
vnto
vs
by
the
workes
of
God
,
in
his
mercie
towards
his
owne
people
,
or
in
his
iudgements
towardes
the
wicked
,
will
bee
at
the
most
,
but
as
a
wonder
of
nine
daies
,
as
we
say
in
the
Prouerbe
,
and
like
vnto
water
spilt
vpon
the
ground
.
True
it
is
,
and
I
am
sure
euery
good
man
will
confesse
it
,
that
neither
the
one
nor
the
other
,
can
indeed
,
either
do
vs
good
in
this
life
,
or
further
vs
vnto
eternall
saluation
(
to
make
vs
without
excuse
and
defence
before
God
,
and
in
our selues
,
I
denye
not
,
but
some
power
they
haue
)
otherwise
than
as
they
are
sanctified
,
by
the
almightie
working
of
the
blessed
spirite
.
And
therefore
,
when
,
or
where
,
or
howsoeuer
God
dealeth
with
vs
,
we
should
presently
and
vnfainedly
humble
our selues
in
prayer
,
and
call
and
craue
for
grace
to
profit
thereby
.
Howbeit
though
that
I
meane
the
gracious
worke
of
Gods
spirit
in
our
hearts
,
be
a
principall
meane
of
our
spirituall
profiting
,
yet
neither
is
it
the
only
,
neither
indeed
doth
it
fol
low
thereupon
,
that
the
others
aboue
recited
,
should
be
reiected
or
refused
.
For
euen
as
in
our
naturall
life
,
the
first
and
chiefe
cause
of
all
is
God
himselfe
,
who
as
he
giueth
it
vs
,
so
vpholdeth
it
and
maintaineth
it
,
according
to
his
good
wil
,
that
being
here
true
that
the
Apostle
saith
,
In
him
we
liue
,
we
moue
,
&
haue
our
being
:
and
yet
no
man
so
vnwise
as
to
refuse
meate
,
drinke
,
cloth
,
sleepe
,
and
other
necessary
helps
and
aides
that
way
,
for
that
were
to
tempt
God
,
and
to
liue
(
if
some
one
or
other
could
doe
it
)
rather
a
miraculous
than
a
naturall
life
,
so
in
our
spirituall
life
,
though
God
by
his
holy
spirite
worke
all
in
all
,
in
the
hearts
of
them
that
he
hath
marked
out
vnto
eternall
blessednes
,
yet
no
man
that
feareth
God
,
or
careth
for
his
owne
saluation
,
neglecteth
,
much
lesse
despiseth
the
worde
,
sacraments
,
prayer
,
admonitions
,
exhortations
,
rebukes
,
publike
,
priuate
,
&c.
but
more
carefully
frequenteth
,
and
more
religiously
vseth
the
same
,
and
laboureth
more
to
treasure
than
vp
in
his
heart
for
goodnes
,
than
hee
doth
all
or
any
of
the
outward
things
appertaining
to
the
body
or
naturall
man
.
And
euen
so
is
it
in
this
case
,
of
applying
to
our
purpose
,
and
making
vse
in
our
soules
of
the
waies
and
works
of
God
,
generall
or
particular
,
open
or
secret
.
To
that
therefore
wee
come
,
as
indeed
vnto
the
life
and
soule
of
the
other
thinges
before
going
,
and
therein
direct
our
speech
,
as
first
to
the
whole
land
generally
,
who
vpon
euery
such
particular
occasion
should
make
speciall
profite
,
as
well
because
all
the
seuerall
members
in
a
kingdome
,
or
in
a
Church
,
make
but
one
politicall
or
ecclesiasticall
bodie
,
and
therefore
if
one
suffer
,
all
should
suffer
,
and
if
one
reioyce
,
all
should
do
likewise
,
as
also
because
some
in
Gods
purpose
and
iudgement
are
striken
,
that
all
or
many
others
,
at
the
least
might
amende
,
because
all
haue
sinued
and
gone
astraye
,
and
stand
in
neede
of
the
grace
of
God
.
And
this
is
that
surely
that
our
Sauiour
meaneth
,
when
in
the
Gospell
hee
saith
,
were
those
Galileans
,
whose
bloud
Pilate
mingled
with
their
sacrifices
,
greater
sinners
than
all
the
other
?
I
tell
you
nay
,
but
except
ye
amend
your
liues
,
ye
shall
all
likewise
perish
:
so
secondly
to
the
particular
persons
,
and
places
touched
&
afflicted
with
this
present
and
searefull
iudgement
,
who
if
others
,
then
they
much
more
,
shoulde
vnfainedly
stoope
downe
,
and
hartily
and
hastily
also
humble
themselues
,
vnder
the
hand
that
hath
striken
them
,
by
how
much
not
only
in
their
own
knowledge
and
conscience
,
their
sinnes
are
greater
than
other
mens
,
but
also
because
the
punishment
was
present
in
their
eies
,
fell
vpon
their
bodies
,
goodes
,
and
houses
,
and
shoulde
(
which
whether
it
doth
yea
or
no
I
know
not
,
but
if
it
do
not
,
I
pray
God
it
may
)
more
effectually
therefore
pearce
and
enter
into
their
soules
and
spirites
,
for
all
time
,
present
,
and
to
come
.
What
a
mightie
hande
of
God
hath
gone
forth
against
the
whole
land
,
by
manifold
and
fearefull
fires
in
the
seuerall
quarters
and
corners
of
it
?
which
whosoeuer
will
but
seriously
thinke
vpon
them
that
are
past
,
&
recall
to
memorie
those
that
howsoeuer
men
forget
them
,
are
yet
fresh
,
and
as
it
were
bleeding
in
the
harts
and
eies
of
them
that
feare
God
,
hee
caunot
chuse
but
see
and
confesse
strange
and
wonderfull
iudgements
.
In
some
particulars
behold
the
rest
:
the
burning
of
Beckles
,
the
wasting
of
Nantwich
,
the
consuming
of
Marleborough
in
the
west
,
and
which
though
it
come
in
the
last
place
is
not
the
least
iudgement
,
the
destroying
of
Stratforde
vpon
Auon
twise
in
one
yeare
,
with
that
great
and
grieuous
punishment
.
Nay
let
vs
proceede
further
,
London
the
blazing
beacon
to
the
whole
lande
,
and
the
mother
citie
of
all
the
kingdome
,
hath
bin
made
thorowe
the
iustice
of
God
against
it
for
sin
,
a
fearefull
spectacle
of
Gods
wrath
to
others
,
not
onely
while
diuers
priuate
mens
houses
,
goodes
and
possessions
haue
beene
defaced
thereby
,
but
while
the
steeple
of
their
cathedrall
Church
(
a
place
that
many
imagined
for
the
deuotion
and
holines
of
it
could
not
haue
been
touched
with
any
such
iudgement
)
was
not
onely
inflamed
and
consumed
it selfe
,
but
ministred
matter
of
feare
also
,
and
that
not
without
good
cause
&
respect
,
that
it
would
haue
fired
the
whole
citie
it selfe
.
Sundrie
other
sortes
of
iudgements
hath
God
exercised
that
famous
place
,
and
the
whole
lande
withall
,
as
with
that
infectiue
and
destroying
sickenesse
the
plague
or
pestilence
,
that
noysome
disease
of
the
small
pocks
,
measels
,
&c.
great
penurie
and
scarsitie
of
victuals
,
and
by
meanes
thereof
and
together
with
the
same
,
a
generall
dearth
of
all
thinges
,
belonging
either
to
the
pleasures
or
the
profits
of
this
present
life
:
to
which
also
adde
the
threatning
of
the
sworde
for
a
fearefull
inuasion
,
and
the
feare
of
domesticall
stirres
to
disturbe
our
long
and
happie
peace
,
with
infinit
others
,
according
to
the
innumerable
multitude
of
sins
and
transgressious
multiplied
against
his
maiestie
,
the
very
sting
whereof
standeth
vp
in
our
soules
to
accuse
vs
euery
night
when
we
lye
downe
,
and
euery
day
when
wee
rise
vp
.
And
yet
who
hath
,
I
will
not
saye
soundly
profited
by
these
things
,
for
vnfained
humiliation
before
God
,
but
thought
seriously
vpon
them
for
the
bettering
of
vs
,
or
for
any
other
good
respect
before
men
in
the
worlde
.
Certainely
whosoeuer
will
looke
into
these
things
with
a
single
eye
,
I
doe
not
thinke
the
contrary
,
but
hee
shall
clearely
perceiue
,
that
whatsoeuer
iniquitie
was
in
any
particular
person
,
state
,
or
degree
amongst
vs
,
or
whatsoeuer
disorder
was
either
in
church
or
common
wealth
,
it
resteth
notwithstanding
this
hand
of
iustice
and
iudgement
gone
foorth
against
vs
still
vnreformed
:
as
though
wee
thought
that
God
in
heauen
did
not
either
beholde
our
sinnes
,
or
did
strike
vs
without
cause
,
or
as
though
there
were
no
ende
why
hee
did
punish
vs
.
And
though
it
bee
true
indeede
,
that
in
the
midst
of
these
iudgements
,
he
hath
remembred
mercie
,
and
hath
not
let
his
wrath
lie
hard
vpon
vs
,
lest
we
also
might
reach
out
our
hands
to
iniquitie
,
but
hath
giuen
vs
great
abundance
of
manifold
fauours
,
turning
our
sickenes
into
health
,
our
penurie
into
plentie
,
our
dread
of
danger
and
distresse
into
all
manner
of
holy
ioy
,
and
ouer
and
besides
hath
bestowed
vpon
vs
the
blessed
light
of
his
holy
worde
both
in
the
publike
ministerie
&
priuate
exercises
of
it
,
the
very
know
ledge
and
light
of
it
breaking
foorth
as
the
flowings
of
the
sea
,
if
wee
could
so
haue
accepted
of
it
:
and
all
this
hath
beene
done
to
this
end
,
that
we
might
haue
beene
led
by
the
lines
of
loue
,
and
cordes
of
men
,
to
haue
walked
more
vprightly
and
carefully
with
the
Lord
;
who
is
the
God
of
our
life
,
and
of
our
health
,
and
of
our
peace
and
all
:
yet
haue
we
misled
by
the
malice
of
Satan
,
and
thorow
the
corruption
of
our
owne
hearts
,
and
deceiued
by
the
pleasures
of
sinne
,
which
indure
but
for
a
while
,
lift
vp
our
heeles
and
our
handes
against
him
,
and
hardned
our
hearts
and
our
faces
against
all
his
waies
,
in
all
his
workes
,
either
of
mercie
or
of
iudgement
,
for
he
that
was
filthie
,
is
filthie
still
,
and
all
the
abominations
of
the
land
(
vnder
the
burden
whereof
also
the
very
earth
it selfe
groaneth
,
and
therfore
men
should
much
more
mourne
,
if
they
were
not
senseles
and
graceles
)
are
so
farre
off
from
being
lessened
and
diminished
,
that
they
daily
increase
and
get
head
amongst
vs
and
ouer
vs
,
which
whosoeuer
wil
but
in
vprightnes
of
heart
and
iudgement
,
in
the
particulars
consider
of
,
cannot
but
giue
glory
vnto
God
,
and
herein
acknowledge
and
confesse
the
trueth
.
As
for
the
pride
of
the
lande
,
it
is
increased
,
not
onely
by
the
excesse
and
abuse
of
our
commodities
at
home
,
but
by
bringing
in
of
forraine
wares
,
and
olde
and
newe
fond
deuises
,
which
in
the
finenes
and
in
the
varietie
and
vanitie
of
them
,
do
ouer
and
besides
wast
and
weare
the
wealth
of
our
own
countrey
,
our
golde
,
siluer
,
tinne
,
lead
,
and
other
things
of
worth
and
durablenes
,
being
transported
for
such
trumperie
.
Gluttonie
and
drunkennesse
,
I
thinke
,
did
neuer
so
much
abound
,
no
not
when
England
had
the
name
for
great
hospitalitie
and
housekeeping
,
there
being
come
now
in
the
steed
of
it
,
not
onelie
amongst
the
poore
,
but
amongst
the
rich
,
noble
and
all
,
either
no
housekeeping
at
all
,
or
the
same
so
pinching
and
miserable
,
as
not
onely
the
poore
being
readie
to
starue
in
our
streetes
,
crie
out
of
it
,
but
euen
the
very
maniall
seruants
,
many
times
doe
very
bitterlie
,
and
that
not
without
good
cause
,
complaine
of
the
same
also
.
Touching
the
extortion
,
oppression
,
briberie
,
vsurie
and
other
iniquities
that
euery
where
amongst
high
and
low
do
daylie
preuaile
,
what
shall
we
say
,
the
very
stones
in
the
streete
,
and
the
beastes
in
the
fielde
,
and
other
dumbe
and
insensible
creatures
,
though
men
should
hold
their
tongues
,
doe
in
their
kinde
,
seriouslie
crie
out
against
it
and
saye
,
euen
as
the
Prophet
did
in
his
dayes
,
Iustice
is
turned
into
gall
and
wormewood
,
and
the
poore
are
bought
and
solde
for
siluer
,
and
the
needy
for
shooes
:
whoredome
and
filthie
life
,
in
al
sorts
and
degrees
of
men
,
both
openly
and
secretly
,
did
neuer
so
much
ouer
flow
and
increase
as
at
this
day
.
The
ciuill
Magistrate
saith
,
either
he
hath
no
law
to
punish
it
,
or
correcteth
it
at
the
most
with
a
simple
whipping
:
and
as
for
those
that
haue
the
ecclesiasticall
censures
in
their
hands
,
they
surely
haue
no
will
to
do
it
,
but
vse
their
authoritie
rather
to
picke
mens
purses
,
than
to
instruct
their
consciences
,
and
to
conuert
men
vnto
God
.
Yea
,
I
wish
with
al
my
heart
,
that
euen
the
very
ministers
themselues
,
to
whom
for
ought
I
see
,
there
is
no
other
thing
left
to
represse
euil
by
,
than
crying
out
against
iniquity
,
were
not
in
this
as
in
other
matters
of
as
great
consequence
tongue-tied
and
mute
,
or
else
as
the
prophet
saith
in
another
place
,
that
they
were
light
and
wicked
persons
,
and
had
polluted
the
sanctuarie
,
and
wrested
the
lawe
.
To
rehearse
all
transgressions
in
the
seuerall
sortes
and
particularities
of
them
,
would
be
too
long
and
tedious
,
take
one
therefore
,
and
the
same
as
the
most
common
,
so
the
most
grieuous
,
that
by
it
we
may
iudge
also
of
the
rest
:
the
prophanation
of
the
Sabbath
is
the
sin
that
I
meane
.
Where
is
the
man
,
woman
,
or
child
,
that
hath
care
and
conscience
publikely
to
sanctifie
it
,
either
by
reuerent
and
religious
preparing
of
themselues
to
come
to
publike
assemblies
as
they
should
,
or
to
repayre
thither
duetifullie
as
they
ought
,
or
to
carrie
themselues
there
as
beseemeth
such
heauenly
exercises
of
prayer
,
preaching
,
&c.
What
househoulder
,
man
or
woman
,
what
childe
,
what
seruant
hath
any
regard
priuately
to
spend
it
well
in
meditation
and
conference
of
things
publikely
taught
them
,
in
singing
of
psalmes
,
in
prayer
,
in
thinking
seriously
vpon
the
creatures
,
in
visiting
the
sicke
,
in
dooing
the
workes
of
charitie
and
christian
loue
?
Or
rather
who
prophaneth
it
not
in
publike
,
and
in
priuate
,
by
themselues
and
in
company
and
in
euery
place
almost
:
some
by
thinking
it
to
be
a
day
of
bodily
rest
only
,
and
therefore
giue
themselues
and
theirs
ouer
to
sleepe
more
and
longer
then
,
than
on
other
dayes
besides
:
other
some
making
no
more
account
of
the
holy
assemblies
of
the
church
,
and
religious
exercises
therein
,
than
of
prophane
and
common
meetings
,
nor
so
much
many
times
,
and
receiuing
the
word
with
no
more
reuerence
&
attention
than
a
prophane
tayle
,
other
some
sitting
idle
at
their
doores
,
gaping
and
gazing
,
suffering
,
yea
some
times
commaunding
their
seruants
and
children
to
abuse
it
,
by
dicing
,
daunsing
,
carding
,
stoole-ball
playing
,
and
other
vnlawfull
and
wicked
recreations
:
others
also
poasting
ouer
their
worldly
affayres
,
as
matters
of
accountes
,
repayring
to
Iustices
for
execution
of
law
,
visiting
and
intertaining
their
friendes
,
and
such
other
worldly
things
,
to
that
daye
,
with
a
thousand
such
like
abominations
,
fearefully
committed
and
performed
vpon
that
daye
,
that
of
all
others
should
bee
best
spent
.
For
these
may
not
wee
saye
,
as
the
Prophet
speaketh
in
cases
of
meaner
importance
:
Shall
not
the
land
tremble
for
this
,
and
euery
one
mourne
that
dwelleth
therein
?
Or
as
another
Prophet
speaketh
against
the
people
that
descended
from
Iaakob
,
for
their
pride
,
contempt
of
Gods
word
;
and
other
iniquities
,
Aram
before
,
and
the
Philistines
behinde
,
and
they
shall
deuoure
Israel
with
open
mouth
,
and
yet
for
all
this
his
wrath
is
not
turned
away
,
but
his
hand
is
stretched
out
still
:
and
good
reason
,
for
the
people
turneth
not
vnto
him
that
striketh
them
iustly
for
their
sinnes
,
neither
doe
they
seeke
the
Lord
of
hostes
:
therefore
will
the
Lord
cut
off
from
Israel
,
head
and
tayle
,
branch
and
bodie
in
one
day
.
The
auncient
and
the
honorable
man
hee
is
the
head
,
and
the
Prophet
that
teacheth
lies
,
he
is
the
tayle
,
with
many
such
other
things
as
follow
in
that
ninth
chapter
of
Isatah
,
which
I
would
desire
the
godly
reader
,
with
care
to
looke
vpon
,
and
in
conscience
to
make
vse
of
.
For
who
knoweth
whether
this
bee
yet
,
the
day
of
Gods
grace
offered
,
and
the
acceptable
time
if
it
be
receiued
?
Or
who
can
tell
whether
this
bee
not
a
foretelling
and
a
fore-running
signe
also
,
that
the
land
may
(
and
that
or
euer
it
be
long
,
for
ought
we
know
)
bee
consumed
with
fire
from
the
West
,
by
the
Turke
,
Pope
,
Spaniard
,
&
other
instruments
of
Gods
wrath
to
punish
a
sinfull
and
rebellious
nation
:
All
which
would
bee
glad
,
not
only
for
the
inlarging
of
their
territories
and
kingdomes
,
but
euen
of
hatred
more
than
cruell
,
and
bloodie
against
vs
to
whet
their
teeth
vpon
our
bodies
and
bones
,
and
to
bath
their
swords
in
our
blood
:
or
else
who
can
or
dare
say
,
that
this
may
not
be
an
assured
testimonie
,
that
the
Lord
Iesus
shall
shortly
come
in
the
cloudes
,
in
a
melting
and
consuming
fire
going
before
him
,
and
destroying
all
things
,
with
great
power
and
glory
to
iudge
the
quick
and
the
dead
?
Sin
not
at
the
height
it
is
at
,
doth
in
full
prouoke
the
one
,
&
with
earnestnes
calleth
for
our
aduersaries
to
come
out
against
vs
in
troopes
and
armies
,
and
on
the
other
side
all
signes
(
if
I
be
not
deceiued
)
that
should
goe
before
that
great
and
terrible
daye
of
the
Lorde
bee
accomplished
already
.
Sith
things
then
are
so
vncertaine
,
that
wee
knowe
not
when
nor
where
,
nor
how
the
Lord
will
come
vpon
vs
,
and
yet
wee
cannot
but
feare
that
hee
is
nigh
,
euen
at
the
doore
,
why
should
wee
deferre
with
the
wicked
,
euen
therein
,
or
thereby
,
causing
the
Lordes
wrath
to
breake
forth
against
vs
to
our
vtter
confusion
:
or
rather
considering
that
all
these
things
must
bee
dissolued
,
why
doe
wee
not
make
this
vse
of
it
,
to
learne
what
manner
of
people
wee
should
bee
in
holy
conuersation
and
godly
life
,
looking
for
,
&
hastning
vnto
the
comming
of
that
day
of
the
Lord
,
by
the
which
the
very
heauens
being
on
fire
,
shall
be
dissolued
,
and
the
elements
shall
melt
with
heate
?
But
who
(
I
wil
not
say
practiseth
these
things
,
for
the
number
of
such
persons
is
almost
as
rare
in
the
world
,
as
a
blacke
swanne
amongst
foules
)
thinketh
vpon
these
things
seriously
?
Surely
,
surely
,
the
most
part
busie
their
mindes
and
their
mouthes
also
farre
otherwise
:
for
some
giue
themselues
ouer
to
filthie
and
foolish
speech
,
which
not
onely
bringeth
no
grace
or
godly
edification
to
the
hearer
,
but
rather
corrupteth
good
maners
.
Other
some
though
they
fall
not
so
fouly
,
yet
are
ouertaken
in
their
discourses
of
pleasure
,
of
profit
,
hauking
,
hunting
,
merchandise
,
purchasing
landes
,
&c.
which
though
in
themselues
they
be
not
euill
,
yet
because
they
continually
put
better
matter
out
of
place
,
they
are
become
the
sin
of
their
soules
.
And
if
it
so
fall
out
,
that
now
and
then
,
they
or
some
of
them
stumble
vpon
good
things
,
be
it
either
in
word
or
deede
,
by
the
motion
of
their
owne
minde
,
or
occasion
from
others
,
it
is
certainely
but
as
a
flashe
lightening
,
no
man
knoweth
whence
it
commeth
,
nor
whither
it
goeth
,
and
euen
vanisheth
away
,
as
if
it
were
in
the
first
appearing
of
it
.
And
therefore
surely
thorow
their
sins
of
ignorance
,
negligence
,
carelesnes
,
contempt
&
prophanenes
,
it
is
likely
that
vengeance
shall
breake
forth
from
the
Lord
in
a
grieuous
both
measure
and
manner
,
&
fearefully
consume
both
bough
and
branch
,
roote
and
bodie
,
trunke
stocke
,
and
all
in
a
day
.
And
if
this
bee
the
state
and
condition
of
the
generalitie
,
as
indeede
it
is
,
what
shall
become
of
the
particulars
,
the
whole
bodie
consisting
of
them
as
it
were
of
seueral
parts
,
but
that
they
also
must
remaine
vnder
the
same
iudgement
?
To
you
therefore
that
now
are
vnder
this
hand
&
hammer
of
Gods
heauie
indignation
is
it
that
I
write
and
speake
.
Can
you
deny
,
but
that
euen
many
dayes
and
yeares
alreadie
passed
,
you
haue
long
agoe
pulled
this
and
a
more
grieuous
iudgement
by
much
,
downe
vpon
you
from
almightie
God
?
If
you
should
,
the
heauens
would
blush
at
you
,
and
the
earth
would
beare
witnes
against
you
,
and
testifie
vnto
your
faces
,
the
filthines
of
your
words
and
workes
.
Mee
thinketh
it
should
bee
farre
better
for
you
to
giue
glorie
to
God
,
and
vnfeinedly
confesse
that
it
is
his
singular
fauour
to
haue
spared
you
so
long
,
and
that
it
is
his
more
then
common
mercy
,
that
ye
were
not
al
consumed
.
What
hath
been
threatned
against
you
out
of
Gods
word
,
you
cannot
be
ignorant
of
.
What
punishments
haue
light
vpon
you
,
by
the
plague
,
the
small
pockes
,
and
now
this
last
fearefull
fire
,
you
cannot
but
feele
.
What
?
Hath
God
stricken
you
without
a
cause
?
Be
it
far
from
you
,
either
to
speake
it
or
thinke
it
,
for
that
were
to
condemne
the
most
iust
iudge
of
the
world
for
your
owne
clearing
,
yea
and
to
go
against
the
stinging
testimonie
which
euery
day
when
you
rise
vp
,
and
euery
night
when
you
lye
downe
,
telleth
you
the
cleane
contrary
.
But
if
you
should
proceede
to
that
height
,
are
not
other
men
that
haue
watched
ouer
you
,
&
preached
&
spoken
vnto
you
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
able
to
conuince
you
of
falsehood
to
your
faces
,
and
to
throw
the
dounge
of
your
iniquity
vpon
your
countenances
?
Giue
them
therefore
leaue
to
declare
the
truth
to
you
,
and
labour
to
beare
with
patience
,
and
to
profit
by
the
word
of
exhortation
,
sith
it
is
directed
to
you
for
your
good
,
and
vnfeined
humiliation
also
:
for
they
knowe
you
,
and
your
offences
far
better
than
you
your selues
.
Perhaps
you
will
thinke
this
speech
strange
,
but
deceiue
not
your
owne
hearts
,
I
beseech
you
,
for
if
you
will
weigh
,
that
naturallie
we
are
blinde
to
discerne
sinne
,
and
after
they
see
it
,
yet
many
times
they
are
partiall
in
their
owne
waies
,
and
euen
bleare
vp
their
vnderstanding
,
and
harden
their
hearts
,
and
againe
that
they
are
more
quicke
and
better
sighted
,
to
discerne
other
mens
transgressions
than
their
owne
:
as
also
that
God
reuealeth
not
the
sinnes
of
the
people
vnto
his
faithful
seruants
the
Prophets
by
the
halfes
,
I
think
you
would
,
or
at
the
least
I
am
sure
you
should
be
of
another
mind
.
To
reckon
vp
all
the
particulars
were
harde
and
impossible
,
for
who
can
vnderstande
his
faultes
?
And
yet
not
to
lay
downe
some
,
were
to
faile
in
the
iustififying
of
the
charge
,
which
were
vniust
,
and
to
let
you
alone
in
your
iniquities
,
which
shuld
be
vncharitable
.
This
therefore
I
say
,
that
amongst
the
infinite
and
innumerable
sinnes
of
your
soules
,
there
are
some
particulars
that
haue
beene
and
are
most
odious
before
God
,
and
most
apparant
in
the
view
of
the
world
.
Amongst
which
I
reckon
in
the
first
place
a
fearefull
contempt
of
godlines
in
the
most
of
you
,
and
a
great
and
grieuous
carelesnesse
thereof
euen
in
the
best
.
How
often
and
long
hath
God
spoken
vnto
you
,
by
the
publike
ministerie
of
his
worde
,
in
the
holy
exercises
of
prayer
,
preaching
,
administration
and
participation
of
his
blessed
sacraments
?
If
you
could
haue
seene
your
happines
in
that
behalfe
,
both
for
the
length
of
them
,
&
the
graces
of
the
men
that
God
vsed
as
meanes
to
publish
his
trueth
vnto
you
,
your
fauors
both
waies
not
farre
inferior
to
any
congregation
of
the
land
,
and
in
these
respects
indeede
going
before
many
it
had
beene
well
:
but
how
little
you
haue
profited
by
them
,
nay
howe
carelesly
you
haue
heard
them
,
&
how
coldly
you
haue
frequented
them
,
your
grosse
ignorance
in
the
grounds
of
Christian
religion
sheweth
the
first
,
fewe
or
none
of
you
being
able
to
render
a
reason
thereof
,
to
them
that
shall
aske
you
,
&
your
sleeping
in
the
church
,
talking
one
with
another
,
and
turning
of
your
bookes
there
,
and
vsing
of
your
owne
priuate
deuotions
or
prayers
in
the
time
of
publike
preaching
&
prayer
,
a
grieuous
transgression
no
doubt
proueth
the
second
:
and
your
dayly
and
continuall
absence
therfrom
,
and
specially
vpon
the
Lordes
day
then
lying
in
your
beds
,
haunting
of
alehouses
,
riding
and
going
abroad
for
your
worldly
affaires
of
pleasure
and
profite
manifesteth
the
third
.
And
how
weary
you
are
when
you
are
there
let
this
testifie
:
none
preuent
the
time
of
publike
assemblies
,
and
some
come
in
the
midst
of
your
exercises
,
to
the
great
disturbance
of
the
same
,
and
others
that
are
there
:
and
that
some
againe
before
the
sermons
are
finished
,
other
some
after
the
prayers
made
,
and
before
the
singing
of
the
Psalme
,
and
the
vsuall
blessing
to
bee
pronounced
departe
thence
,
wherof
you
as
well
as
they
that
tarrie
should
be
partakers
,
posting
also
out
of
the
Church
,
as
it
were
from
a
play
or
may
game
,
as
though
you
supposed
,
that
no
more
reuerence
should
be
shewed
there
than
in
other
places
,
or
that
some
parte
of
diuine
seruice
belonged
vnto
you
and
not
other
some
,
whereas
in
trueth
you
ought
to
be
alike
partakers
of
the
whole
.
And
how
should
wee
looke
for
any
goodnes
where
this
that
is
the
seede
of
sinne
,
and
the
nurse
of
all
abominations
swayeth
so
much
?
Surely
when
men
haue
once
cast
Gods
lawe
behind
their
backes
,
and
haue
it
not
in
deede
in
a
high
and
reuerend
regard
,
what
can
there
bee
to
restraine
them
from
euill
?
or
to
direct
them
in
good
?
Nay
what
shall
not
then
bee
right
and
lawfull
,
though
indeede
it
bee
neuer
so
corrupt
and
vile
.
From
this
therfore
,
as
from
a
streame
and
fountaine
of
filthinesse
,
haue
flowed
all
your
othes
,
particular
transgressions
,
as
first
for
example
your
swearing
and
cursing
:
by
the
first
blaspheming
of
Gods
name
,
and
haling
down
wrath
and
vengeance
from
the
Lord
vpon
your selues
,
your
wiues
,
children
,
familie
,
friends
,
yea
all
the
goodes
and
cattle
that
you
haue
and
possesse
,
for
the
Lord
will
not
hold
him
guiltlesse
that
taketh
his
name
in
vaine
,
and
sure
wee
are
that
the
plague
of
God
shal
not
depart
from
the
house
of
the
swearer
:
as
also
wee
may
perceiue
by
the
signe
of
the
flying
booke
mentioned
Zachar
.
5.
in
which
were
contained
curses
against
euery
one
that
sweareth
,
who
also
should
be
cut
off
as
wel
on
this
side
,
as
on
that
:
yea
that
this
iudgement
should
enter
into
,
and
remaine
in
the
midst
of
such
swerers
houses
,
and
should
consume
the
same
with
the
timber
thereof
,
and
stones
thereof
.
And
by
the
second
not
onely
testifying
the
malice
and
madnes
of
your
owne
harts
,
against
men
and
other
creatures
of
GOD
,
vpon
which
you
powre
out
the
poyson
of
your
mindes
and
mouthes
,
but
drawing
iniquitie
with
the
cordes
of
vanitie
,
and
sinne
as
it
were
with
cart
ropes
,
that
so
that
might
bee
fulfilled
in
you
,
that
in
the
book
of
Psalmes
is
spoken
of
the
notorious
wicked
,
As
hee
loued
cursing
,
so
shall
it
come
vnto
him
,
and
as
he
loued
not
blessing
so
shall
it
be
farre
from
him
:
and
as
hee
clothed
himselfe
with
cursing
like
a
rayment
,
so
shall
it
come
into
his
bowels
like
water
,
and
like
oyle
into
his
bones
.
And
by
both
of
them
defiling
the
aire
aboue
you
,
and
polluting
the
earth
beneath
you
,
with
the
creatures
thereupon
,
yea
by
your
bad
examples
,
infecting
and
corrupting
your
wiues
,
children
,
seruants
,
and
all
that
haue
any
conuersation
or
acquaintance
with
you
,
who
hauing
nothing
to
learne
from
you
but
that
which
is
euill
,
will
in
the
pronenesse
of
their
owne
nature
to
naughtinesse
,
easily
treade
in
your
bad
steps
,
and
much
more
easily
resemble
you
in
corruption
,
than
other
men
in
goodnes
,
by
how
much
you
doe
more
nighly
and
straightly
by
many
waies
touch
them
than
others
.
And
as
for
your
owne
idlenes
,
and
the
bad
bringing
vp
of
your
youth
and
children
,
both
sonnes
and
daughters
,
it
is
pitifull
to
beholde
,
and
I
cannot
without
great
griefe
of
heart
,
thinke
or
speake
of
it
:
what
a
shame
before
men
,
nay
indeede
what
sinne
is
it
before
God
,
to
see
amongst
you
day
labourers
and
men
of
manuall
occupations
(
who
according
to
Gods
ordinance
,
and
his
iust
punishment
vpon
them
for
sinne
,
shuld
eat
their
bread
in
the
sweate
of
their
browes
,
and
get
it
as
wee
say
with
their
fingers
endes
)
haunt
and
frequent
alehouses
,
spending
there
not
onely
houres
,
but
dayes
,
and
in
that
time
besides
the
neglect
of
their
callings
,
by
which
they
should
maintaine
themselues
and
theirs
,
wasting
that
also
which
they
haue
gotten
,
&
shuld
be
as
the
reward
of
their
honest
labors
,
so
the
necessary
and
needfull
reliefe
of
their
wiues
,
children
,
and
other
at
home
,
where
they
should
rather
spend
it
in
deede
,
to
the
increase
of
mutuall
comforte
amongst
themselues
,
than
vpon
the
sonnes
of
Beliall
,
and
wicked
and
lewd
persons
in
those
houses
of
vnthriftines
,
yea
some
of
them
of
dishonesty
?
Now
for
your
youth
,
is
it
not
lamentable
to
see
boies
and
girles
,
of
tenne
,
twelue
,
yea
a
fourteene
yeares
of
age
,
and
many
vnder
these
yeares
also
,
to
swarme
in
your
streetes
,
and
to
runne
vp
and
downe
daily
in
mire
and
dirt
,
both
wearing
out
their
shooes
,
and
spoyling
their
apparell
,
and
that
without
laying
their
hands
to
any
honest
labours
to
get
some
thing
towards
their
maintenance
and
reliefe
?
Yea
and
some
of
them
I
feare
me
that
follow
not
this
bad
trade
,
worse
occupied
by
much
,
in
pilfering
,
breaking
of
hedges
,
learning
to
lie
,
sweare
,
and
make
no
concsience
of
anie
sinne
.
And
as
for
those
few
that
you
seeme
to
put
to
learning
,
if
you
consider
the
places
whither
they
goe
,
the
persons
to
whome
(
I
neede
nor
particularize
this
,
for
you
knowe
what
I
meane
)
and
the
small
profite
they
take
thereby
,
it
were
almost
as
small
a
transgression
before
God
and
men
,
to
let
them
liue
idly
with
the
rest
,
as
to
traine
them
vp
in
sorte
as
they
are
.
God
hath
graciously
prouided
far
better
for
you
,
if
you
coulde
either
see
it
or
haue
care
and
conscience
to
vse
it
well
.
As
for
your selues
,
you
haue
long
agoe
done
what
you
could
to
put
religion
from
you
,
by
offering
not
onely
manifold
vnkindnesses
to
the
persons
that
offered
it
vnto
you
,
but
contempt
to
the
trueth
it selfe
,
and
yet
though
it
be
full
sore
against
your
willes
,
it
is
by
honorable
,
and
others
,
and
those
that
loue
you
,
and
care
for
you
more
than
your selues
,
vphelde
still
.
And
now
what
goe
you
about
,
namely
to
banish
learning
from
you
and
yours
?
Perhaps
you
will
think
it
a
hard
charge
,
but
surely
it
appeareth
not
onely
by
this
,
that
you
suffer
your
schoolehouse
,
the
place
appointed
for
the
good
bringing
vp
of
your
youth
,
to
goe
to
foule
decay
,
but
haue
no
regarde
at
all
in
a
manner
that
they
might
attaine
to
some
good
measure
of
knowledge
in
humane
learning
,
what
will
bee
the
issue
consider
:
in
a
word
.
Contempt
of
the
worde
carieth
with
it
alwaies
all
maner
of
impietie
:
and
lacke
of
knowledge
,
breedeth
all
barbarousnes
:
and
then
what
can
you
look
for
,
but
euen
to
haue
that
fulfilled
in
you
,
that
the
scripture
speaketh
of
a
rebellious
and
stifnecked
people
,
Ephraim
shall
eate
vp
Manasseh
,
and
Manasseh
Ephraim
,
and
so
you
to
become
a
sauage
and
wilde
people
deuoid
of
pietie
,
charitie
,
religion
,
righteousnesse
,
loue
,
&c.
and
filled
with
all
manner
of
vngodlines
and
sinne
,
to
which
as
seemeth
to
me
by
your
crooked
paths
,
you
haue
made
more
than
post
haste
already
.
And
though
God
by
many
crosses
and
losses
laide
vpon
you
and
yours
,
labor
to
stay
you
therefrom
,
and
particularly
hath
plagued
almost
al
of
you
,
with
great
and
grieuous
pouertie
,
(
more
I
am
sure
than
many
of
you
will
bee
knowne
of
)
so
that
(
some
few
of
you
excepted
)
you
liue
for
the
most
part
by
shifting
,
if
not
vnhonest
deuises
and
trades
:
yet
you
will
not
see
the
hand
that
striketh
you
with
beggerie
as
it
were
,
and
contempt
for
your
idlenes
and
carelesnes
,
and
so
turne
vnto
him
,
but
shifting
it
from
your selues
vnto
others
,
vniustly
laye
the
fault
vpon
those
that
in
manie
respects
haue
been
but
too
bountifull
and
beneficial
vnto
you
and
yours
.
And
yet
I
would
euen
from
the
bottome
of
my
heart
,
if
GOD
saw
it
so
good
,
that
your
iniquitie
and
sinne
had
staied
here
,
and
had
not
proceeded
further
.
But
surely
it
is
farre
otherwise
with
you
:
for
as
the
godly
thorow
the
light
of
God
his
truth
,
and
the
powerful
working
of
his
blessed
spirite
,
are
mightilie
caried
from
faith
to
faith
,
&
from
one
good
work
to
an
other
,
so
are
you
in
Satans
malice
against
you
,
and
the
strength
of
your
owne
corruption
violently
harried
from
one
transgression
to
another
euill
,
that
so
that
may
be
true
in
you
,
that
the
Apostle
speaketh
.
The
wicked
must
waxe
worse
and
worse
,
and
filling
vp
the
measure
of
their
transgressions
,
bee
at
the
last
ouerwhelmed
with
his
most
fearefull
and
iust
iudgements
.
What
shall
I
say
of
your
excessiue
drinking
,
abusing
therein
and
therewith
that
and
many
other
his
good
creatures
,
giuen
you
sometimes
for
necessitie
especially
,
and
some
times
for
delight
also
,
I
confesse
?
yea
,
is
it
not
written
in
many
of
your
faces
and
foreheads
,
so
that
hee
that
regardeth
but
the
rednes
of
your
eyes
,
the
heate
of
your
countenances
,
the
swelling
of
your
vaines
,
and
sundry
such
other
outward
signes
of
intemperancie
,
might
with
small
a
doe
poynte
and
painte
out
,
what
manner
of
men
you
are
,
and
as
if
it
were
with
great
capitall
letters
written
in
your
foreheads
,
so
as
hee
that
runneth
may
reade
the
same
,
see
and
behold
bouling
and
quaffing
written
therein
?
And
yet
herein
is
this
your
sinne
amongst
others
,
become
exceedingly
sinfull
,
that
many
of
you
leaue
your
owne
houses
,
and
go
vp
&
down
to
other
places
for
strong
drinke
and
company
,
and
not
contented
therewith
,
you
delight
to
drawe
others
from
townes
and
places
abroad
and
rounde
about
you
,
to
be
partakers
with
you
of
the
selfe
same
iniquitie
,
and
that
not
onely
vpon
your
market
and
fayre
daies
,
and
times
of
resort
,
but
euen
vpon
other
daies
of
the
weeke
,
yea
vpon
the
Lords
day
it selfe
,
wherein
you
are
so
farre
off
from
withstanding
euill
,
that
not
one
of
you
yet
for
ought
I
knowe
,
hath
been
found
either
to
represse
this
foule
vice
of
quaffing
and
drunkennes
in
your selues
,
or
to
shut
your
doores
against
them
that
fall
into
riot
and
excesse
that
way
.
Adde
vnto
these
,
the
adulteries
,
whoredomes
and
fearefull
filthinesses
that
haue
heretofore
,
and
daylie
doe
fall
out
amongst
you
,
and
then
you
shall
see
also
,
whether
God
haue
causeleslie
stricken
you
,
with
this
and
other
iudgements
:
or
whether
you
haue
not
indeede
good
cause
for
the
same
,
vnfeinedly
and
speedily
to
humble
your selues
least
otherwise
the
wrath
begun
,
proceede
and
breake
forth
,
to
an
vtter
wasting
of
you
and
yours
.
For
your
secret
sinnes
that
way
,
I
will
say
nothing
,
but
leaue
them
to
God
to
whome
they
are
best
knowne
,
and
to
your
owne
hearts
,
which
should
bee
touched
with
a
godly
sorrow
for
them
,
and
for
your
other
iniquities
likewise
.
Consider
a
little
I
pray
you
of
your
open
transgressions
,
and
waigh
them
for
amendment
of
life
.
Diuers
of
your
daughters
and
maidseruants
,
haue
beene
in
former
time
and
of
late
,
shamefully
defiled
.
Your
sonnes
and
other
of
your
families
,
haue
been
the
authors
and
the
actors
of
this
grieuous
villanie
,
wherein
also
sundry
of
them
haue
growne
to
this
shamelesnesse
in
their
sinne
,
that
they
haue
gone
with
out
stretched
necks
,
and
brasen
foreheads
,
as
though
they
had
done
none
iniquitie
at
all
.
Your
towne
by
this
mernes
too
much
impouerished
alreadie
,
hath
beene
charged
with
the
keeping
of
a
bastardlye
broode
,
beside
other
foule
inconueniences
that
haue
followed
&
flowen
from
this
grieuous
transgression
.
To
reckon
vp
the
rest
of
your
iniquities
would
bee
to
too
tedious
,
by
these
labour
to
learne
,
to
loth
,
and
to
leaue
them
,
and
all
the
other
whatsoeuer
,
&
soundly
and
speedily
to
turne
vnto
the
Lorde
,
and
no
doubt
but
you
shall
find
fauor
,
for
yet
with
the
Lord
there
is
mercie
,
that
he
may
bee
feared
.
Otherwise
,
know
and
assure
your selues
,
that
if
thorowe
the
pleasures
of
sinne
which
indure
but
for
a
while
,
your
hearts
shall
bee
hardened
,
and
you
either
put
the
euill
day
farre
from
you
,
or
do
not
with
speede
turne
vnto
God
,
in
a
holy
conuersation
and
amendment
of
life
,
you
and
yours
shall
both
feele
the
hande
of
God
pursuing
you
in
this
life
,
and
eternally
perish
in
that
which
is
to
come
.
Good
and
bad
are
this
day
propounded
vnto
you
,
and
the
way
of
life
and
death
set
before
your
eyes
,
Looke
well
to
it
,
and
beware
that
the
Lord
haue
not
iust
occasion
thorow
your
carelesesse
and
contempt
of
his
trueth
,
to
say
,
Thy
destructon
,
O
Israell
,
is
of
thy selfe
,
I
knowe
that
the
waies
and
the
workes
of
a
mans
life
,
are
not
in
his
owne
hands
or
power
,
but
that
it
is
God
that
worketh
in
vs
,
both
the
will
and
the
deed
according
to
his
own
good
pleasure
.
Notwithstanding
,
sith

And
that
