A
Sermon
Preached
in
Canterbury
to
the
Corporation
of
Blacke-smiths
,
declaring
the
goodnesse
,
necessity
,
antiquity
,
and
vse
of
that
trade
which
workes
in
Iron
.

There
was
not
a
Smith
found
throughout
all
the
land
of
Israel
,
for
the
Philistines
said
,
least
the
Hebrewes
make
them
swords
or
speares
.
Wherefore
all
the
Israelites
went
downe
to
the
Philistines
,
to
sharpen
euery
man
his
mattocke
,
his
share
,
his
axe
,
and
his
weeding
hooke
.
IT
plainely
appeareth
by
sacred
Story
,
Summe
of
the
text
.
that
God
had
deliuered
the
Israelites
into
the
hands
of
the
Philistines
,
who
were
become
their
Lords
,
and
exercised
do
minion
ouer
them
.
Now
in
this
tex●
it
is
shewed
in
few
termes
what
art
,
&
deuise
the
Philistines
did
still
vse
to
keepe
the
necke
of
the
Israelites
in
their
yoke
:
namely
this
,
by
spoyling
them
of
all
armour
,
and
depriuing
them
of
all
meanes
how
to
come
by
any
weapons
:
for
they
rooted
out
of
their
land
,
both
out
of
villages
,
and
citties
all
the
Black-smiths
.
The
text
is
historicall
,
Diuision
.
and
containeth
three
parts
.
First
,
is
the
narration
of
a
want
,
or
an
euill
hapned
:
which
is
set
forth
by
the
persons
,
to
whom
:
to
wit
,
the
Israelites
or
Hebrewes
(
in
the
land
of
Israel
;
)
secondly
,
bv
the
generality
of
the
iudgement
(
in
all
the
land
not
a
Smith
found
.
)
The
other
part
of
our
text
is
,
a
confirmation
,
rendring
a
reason
of
the
want
,
or
iudgement
,
and
it
is
taken
from
the
instrumentall
cause
,
to
wit
,
the
Philistines
who
were
the
meanes
and
instruments
of
this
great
●●ill
(
for
the
Philistines
said
.
)
The
third
and
last
part
is
,
a
notation
●●d
designement
of
the
effects
which
●llowed
this
euill
brought
vpon
Is●●l
,
by
the
crafty
counsell
of
the
Phi●●stines
.
These
effects
concerne
the
●●●e
both
of
warre
(
lest
the
Hebrewes
●ake
them
swords
or
speares
)
and
of
●eace
(
all
the
Israelites
went
downe
to
●he
Philistines
to
sharpen
euery
man
his
●●●are
,
&c.
Now
let
vs
proceed
to
the
●●terpretation
of
the
words
,
that
we
may
raise
vp
doctrines
out
of
them
,
●nd
make
vse
of
them
for
your
edification
.

of
sundry
kindes
and
sorts
,
according
to
the
diuersity
of
the
subiect
wherein

but
the
circumstances
do
very
clearly
proue
,
that
our
text
speaketh
of
the

Now
in
that

pleaseth
the

of

,
Reason
.
and
to
name
it
with
fauour
and

(
as
he
doth
)
Hence
I
gather
the
goodnesse
,
worth
,
and
dignity
of
the
same
,
that
it
is
a
trade
alowable
and
noble
;
for
it
is
no
small
ennobling
and
dignifying
of
any
person
or
thing
,
Lanàari

(
if
we
rightly
iudge
of
it
)
to
be
named
in
the
most
sacred
Scriptures
by
the
Spirit
of
God
with
approbation
.
If
it
be
accounted
a
matter
of
grace
,
countenance
and
credit
to
be
mentioned
with
respect
and
commendation
in
a
prophane
story
;
how
much
more
grace
doth
it
bring
to
a
function
or
person
to
be
honored
so
farre
as
with
good
alowance
to
be
written
and
set
downe
in
holy
writ
.
I
haue
certainely
heard
of
a
wealthy
Citizen
in
London
,
who
hauing
〈◊〉
priuy
Seale
sent
him
from
our
●●te
famous
Queene
,
tooke
it
to
be
no
small
fauour
done
vnto
him
.
Doth
the
Queene
(
saith
he
)
know
me
,
she
shall
lacke
no
money
,
if
I
haue
it
;
●nd
may
not
our
Black-smiths
,
then
account
it
a
fauour
and
honour
vnto
him
,
that
the
King
of
heauen
takes
knowledge
of
him
,
and
hath
put
his
name
,
and
memory
(
not
in
a
peece
of
paper
)
but
in
the
booke
of
bookes
?
especially
,
seeing
sundry
other
vocations
,
of
greater
worth
and
value
,
in
the
eyes
of
the
world
are
past
by
of
him
,
without
the
least
touch
or
mention
?
To
be
short
,
do
men
of
meane
sort
thinke
it
to
be
a
credit
vnto
them
if
but
a
noble
man
do
name
them
,
and
speake
of
them
with
loue
and
respect
;
may
not
I
then
iustly
affirme
,
and
speake
it
to
be
a
dignity
to
this
meane
trade
(
as
men
account
it
)
that
the
Lord
of
Lords
hath
from
his
owne
most
holy
mouth
honored
:
yea
,
sanctified
it
by
a
louing
fauourable
mentioning
of
it
?
Let
the
knowledge
and
consideration
hereof
serue
for
these
purposes
and
vses
.
Vses
.
First
,
to
stir
vp
your
hearts
to
giue
thanks
to
God
for
placing
and
setting
you
in
such
a
calling
,
as
hath
giuen
vnto
it
both
warrant
,
and
worth
from
his
owne
mouth
.
Secondly
,
earnestly
to
pray
vnto
him
for
his
grace
,
that
you
may
walke
in
it
with
all
good
conscience
,
that
as
your
trade
is
good
and
honest
,
so
you
may
deale
in
it
wel
and
honestly
,
gaining
credit
to
that
vocations
,
vpon
which
it
hath
pleased
God
to
put
such
credit
,
and
honouring
him
who
hath
honored
you
.
Thirdly
,
let
this
prouoke
you
to
performe
,
and
go
through
the
hard
labours
of
this
calling
with
a
more
willing
and
chearefull
heart
,
doing
your
tough
worke
not
grudgingly
,
or
of
necessity
,
but
with
a
ready
minde
;
for
that
God
that
hath
honoured
your
calling
,
doth
loue
chearefull
workers
.
Lastly
,
let
it
admonish
others
that
are
wont
to
des●ise
your
persons
for
the
basenesse
of
your
trade
,
hereafter
learne
for
your
●rades
sake
to
make
better
account
of
your selues
;
for
if
no
trade
be
base
in
it selfe
,
being
Gods
ordinnace
,
much
lesse
is
that
,
which
hath
Gods
commendation
.
And
thus
much
be
spoken
of
the
dignity
and
worth
of
your
trade
.
In
the
next
place
,
let
vs
obserue
the
antiquity
thereof
,
Antiquity
.
in
that
it
hath
bene
vsed
in
the
world
,
not
for
a
few
years
,
it
is
no
start
vp
,
and
newly
diuised
trade
(
as
it
were
a
yester-daies
bird
)
but
it
was
bred
and
borne
long
since
,
&
hath
had
so
many
hundred
of
years
gone
ouer
his
head
,
as
it
hath
now
gotten
not
onely
gray
,
but
white
haires
,
euen
as
white
as
wool
,
or
snow
.
It
is
sixteene
hundred
yeares
,
and
more
,
since
the
incarnation
of
Christ
,
who
was
borne
in
the
yeare
of
the
world
3928.
Howbeit
,
your
trade
was
liuing
,
and
flourishing
to
,
a
great
while
before
this
time
:
euen
in
the
daies
when
Samuel
,
and
Saul
gouerned
Israel
,
which
was
490
yeares
from
the
worlds
creation
(
as
the
learned
affirme
:
)
nay
,
which
is
more
,
we
find
,
in
the
history
of
Genesis
,
that
Tubalkaine
,
Gen.
4.22
.
the
seuenth
from
Adam
,
was
the
Father
and
Author
of
those
that
worke
in
yron
,
and
in
brasse
:
so
as
your
trade
is
very
ancient
,
which
doth
adde
no
small
increase
of
credit
,
and
grace
vnto
it
.
For
antiquity
(
when
it
is
ioyned
with
goodnesse
)
doth
more
augment
the
esteeme
,
and
regard
of
a
good
thing
.
We
are
commanded
(
ye
know
)
to
honour
the
gray
head
,
and
to
rise
before
the
person
of
an
old
man
.
Leui.
19.32
.
It
is
written
also
,
that
old
age
when
it
is
found
in
the
way
of
righteousnesse
,
it
is
a
crowne
of
glory
to
a
man
.
Prou.
16.31
.
As
ancientnesse
breeds
reuerence
to
persons
,
so
it
doth
to
things
when
they
be
good
and
commendable
,
wicked
men
the
elder
they
be
,
the
more
to
be
detested
;
but
●ertuous
men
,
the
more
aged
they
be
,
●e
the
more
to
be
respected
;
for
euen
●heir
age
is
a
crowne
to
them
,
when
●hemselues
be
righteous
.
In
like
man●er
it
fareth
with
things
,
which
if
they
●e
euill
they
are
the
worse
they
more
●ncient
they
be
(
for
antiquity
is
a
dis●arce
to
naughtinesse
)
but
if
they
be
●ood
,
Consuetudo
sine
veritat
estv
tus
error
.
they
be
the
better
by
being
ancient
:
for
antiquity
doth
put
more
grace
vpon
a
good
thing
,
and
makes
it
venerable
.
And
were
it
not
so
that
●here
were
some
moment
in
priority
of
time
,
as
well
as
of
place
,
our
two
Vniuersities
should
deserue
some
blame
,
which
haue
striuen
so
long
both
by
word
and
writing
which
should
be
more
ancient
.
In
a
word
,
seeing
it
is
written
that
old
wine
is
better
then
new
,
and
a
new
friend
is
lesse
to
be
esteemed
then
an
old
(
as
experience
teacheth
(
it
is
therefore
sure
that
the
oldnesse
,
and
long
continuance
of
any
good
calling
should
make
it
to
be
more
acceptabl●
and
gracious
.
The
which
point
beeing
we●●
weighed
of
you
,
Vse
.
it
should
serue
as
a
second
spurre
to
quicken
you
to
vndertake
,
and
performe
the
labour
o●
your
vocation
with
so
much
the
more
willingnesse
,
diligence
,
and
vprightnesse
.
Many
euill
men
do
sticke
vnto
,
and
with
greedinesse
follow
after
sundry
euil
things
,
vnder
pretence
of
custome
;
because
they
haue
bene
long
vsed
(
as
if
prescription
could
iustifie
vices
,
as
it
doth
mens
titles
and
things
euill
at
the
first
,
could
in
time
become
good
by
long
vsage
of
them
)
which
to
thinke
,
were
a
great
madnes
;
yet
many
men
(
as
if
they
had
a
desire
to
be
mad
,
and
to
dote
with
reason
)
would
therefore
be
excused
for
their
embracing
euill
things
and
courses
;
because
they
haue
bene
accustomed
to
be
done
of
old
,
and
much
frequented
;
with
how
much
better
reason
may
good
men
cleaue
to
good
things
,
and
exercise
good
trades
when
goodnesse
is
commended
by
reue●ent
antiquity
?
Let
vs
now
passe
forward
to
examine
the
necessity
of
your
function
,
Necessity
.
which
appeares
in
this
,
that
when
the
●●nd
of
Israel
wanted
it
,
the
people
●here
had
a
sensible
,
and
great
misse
of
it
,
neither
should
it
be
spoken
of
●●ere
as
a
iudgement
to
want
Smiths
,
●f
the
hauing
of
them
were
not
necessary
.
Reason
and
experience
teach
,
that
good
men
,
good
creatures
,
good
ordinances
,
good
vocations
are
neuer
so
well
perceiued
how
good
and
needfull
they
be
by
enioying
and
hauing
them
,
as
by
wanting
and
forgoing
them
.
Carenmagis
quam
fruendo
.
Virtutem
presentem
odimus
omnas
sublatum
;
ex
otulis
quaerium

.
This
is
a
corruption
in
mans
nature
lesse
to
esteeme
and
care
for
good
things
which
be
present
,
then
for
those
which
be
absent
;
the
reason
is
,
because
the
want
doth
more
bewray
the
necessity
and
vse
.
The
exceeding
and
continuall
lamentation
for
the
death
of
Iosiah
(
that
good
king
)
doth
tel
vs
how
much
they
missed
him
being
gone
,
who
beeing
present
they
did
not
so
regard
.
Lam.

When
our
Sauiour
tels
his
hearers
that
the
time
would
come
,
when
they
should
desire
to
see
but
one
of
the
daies
of
the
Sonne
of
man
.
He
doth
hereby
insinuate
that
the
Mesiah
being
present
in
person
,
was
without
due
respect
to
him
and
his
doctrine
,
and
that
the
great
need
of
him
and
his
teaching
would
be
more
discerned
by
the
absence
of
them
.
The
Sunne
is
a
glorious
creature
very
beautifull
and
benificial
to
the
world
,
yet
our
daily
beholding
it
doth
lessen
our
account
of
it
,
and
our
thankfulnesse
to
God
for
it
,
were
it
taken
from
vs
but
one
yeare
,
by
the
want
of
it
we
should
be
forced
to
learne
the
great
and
manifold
necessity
of
this
one
creature
:
What
,
do
I
speake
of
the
Sunne
that
most
lightsome
and
goodly
creature
,
if
we
should
lacke
either
the
aire
to
breath
in
,
or
the
fire
,
or
water
,
or
the
earth
,
or
trees
,
foules
,
or
beasts
,
or
any
one
creature
allotted
of
God
to
our
necessities
,
though
we
had
and
enioyed
all
the
rest
,
yet
the
want
of
that
very
one
would
be
felt
,
and
would
teach
vs
experimentally
the
necessity
of
that
,
and
of
all
the
rest
:
and
this
which
I
speake
of
the
creatures
,
I
would
haue
vnderstood
of
the
members
of
our
body
,
whereof
there
is
not
the
lest
,
but
is
needfull
;
the
foote
,
the
lowest
and
basest
member
,
yet
it
cannot
be
said
there
is
no
need
of
it
.

This
which
is
true
in
the
naturall
body
,
is
verified
also
into
the
Ecclesiasticall
,
and
politicall
body
in
the
Church
and
common
wealth
.
There
is
no
Church-officer
,
or
ordinance
that
can
be
spared
:
if
we
were
without
either
preaching
,
or
reading
,
or
Sacraments
,
or
prayer
,
we
should
soone
see
that
we
could
not
be
long
without
it
,
and
be
well
,
so
truely
is
that
which
is
commonly
spoken
,
that
God
and
nature
hath
done
nothing
in
vaine
.

Touching
the
common
wealth
,
were
it
so
with
vs
here
in
England
,
as
it
was
sometimes
with
Gods
people
in
Israel
,
that
there
were
no
gouernour
,
or
Magistrate
in
our
land
,
as
sometime
there
was
no

vs

Howsoeuer
now
that
we
haue
the
benefite
of
rule
and
rulers
,
we
do
not
rightly
value
it
:
yet
were
there
no
ruler
to
be
found
in
all
our
land
,
we
should
quickly
misse
it
:
so
auailable
and
effectuall
is
the
absence
of
a
thing
to
teach
vs
the
necessity
of
it
.
After
Magistracy
,
consider
the
ordinance
of
Matrimony
,
which
howsoeuer
by
being
common
groweth
contemptible
with
many
(
as
other
things
do
)
yet
the
lacke
of
it
,
would
soone
proclaime
&
speake
forth
the
necessity
of
it
,
in
as
much
as
without
it

the

should
misle
many
inhabitants
,
and
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
should
in
short
time
haue
none
at
all
.
And
no
maruaile
that
there
is
such
need
of
these
maine
ordinances
,
seeing
there
is
not
the
meanest
manuary
trade
,
or
art
,
but
when
it
is
lacking
the
body
politicke
doth
feele
the
misse
of
it
with
griefe
,
and
smart
,
whereof
we
haue
sufficient
proofe
in
this
very
text
,
which
instructs
vs
to
see
that
the
whole
land
of
Israel
was
the
worse
for
want
of
the
Black-smiths
,
and
sure
it
could
not
otherwise
be
,
for
though
the
particular
euils
which
came
by
this
want
,
were
not
mentioned
in
our
text
(
of
the
which
we
shall
speake
more
at
large
anon
)
yet
common
reason
and
sence
may
teach
vs
the
truth
hereof
.
For
of
many
trades
which
are
now
in
this
citty
vsed
,
tell
me
which
of
them
all
you
could
lacke
,
or
if
you
did
lacke
it
,
whether
you
should
not
feele
the
want
of
it
,
and
thinke
it
a
great
euill
to
be
without
it
;
yea
though
it
were
but
your
scauinger
,
or
chimney
sweeper
.
But
if
we
should
loose
or
be
without
either
our
Tailours
,
or
Shooe-makers
,
or
Smiths
,
Glouers
,
Ioyners
,
Carpenters
,
or
any
one
of
our
meanest
occupations
,
though
we
should
keepe
all
the
rest
,
yet
those
that
be
of
the
best
,
and
richest
trades
amongst
vs
,
should
easily
see
the
great
need
of
that
one
,
and
how
hardly
they
could
subsist
without
it
.
The
mouse
may
plucke
a
thorne
out
of
the
Lyons
foote
,
which
the
Lyon
could
not
do
for
himselfe
:
so
the
basest
trades
are
necessary
euen
to
the
wealthiest
,
and
most
worshippifull
Citizen
,
who
because
they
are
not
in
all
things
sufficient
to
themselues
,
Solus

.

.
therefore
can
no
more
lacke
the
meanest
tradesmen
,
then
the
meanest
artisans
can
lacke
them
.
For
it
fareth
so
with
trades
●nd
sciences
,
as
it
doth
with
linkes
in
a
chaine
,
or
steps
in
a
ladder
,
whereof
if
one
or
two
be
wanting
,
the
chaine
is
broken
,
and
the
ladder
were
of
no
vse
,
for
we
could
neither
ascend
nor
descend
by
it
.
Likewise
there
is
such
a
mutuall
,
and
reciprocall
necessity
of
trades
in
the
common-wealth
,
that
when
any
one
faileth
all
the
rest
are
impaired
.
The
comon-wealth
is
like
vnto
a
kind
and
tender
mother
,
which
though
she
be
poore
,
and
haue
a
great
charge
of
children
,
yet
would
she
mourne
for
the
losse
of
any
one
of
them
;
so
the
land
would
mourne
if
is
wanted
but
a
Peuterer
,
or
a
Cutler
,
a
needle-maker
,
or
an
yron
monger
.
But
happily
some
will
say
,
Vses
.
to
what
purpose
is
it
that
you
do
thus
enlarge
the
necessity
of
manuary
trades
and
occupations
?
Of
the
necessity
of
trades
.
we
do
all
know
they
are
needfull
for
vs
.
It
may
be
so
,
but
there
are
many
more
that
know
this
,
then
that
do●
consider
it
so
,
as
to
make
a
right
vse
o●
it
.
Let
me
therefore
entreat
you
to
thinke
seriously
vpon
it
,
and
bend
your
minds
so
to
consider
it
,
as
to
make
profit
of
it
.
And
first
of
all
,
Vs
.

let
it
serue
you
a●
a
rule
to
direct
you
to
iudge
of
the
warrant
,
ablenesse
and
lawfulnesse
,
not
only
of
this
one
trade
o●
Black-smiths
,
hut
of
all
other
ordinary
vocations
amongst
vs
.
Your
rule
is
this
.
Whatsoeuer
calling
is
needfull
in
the
Church
,
Common-wealth
or
family
:
so
as
if
it
be
wanting
there
will
follow
detriment
or
hurt
,
eithe●
to
family
,
common-wealth
or
church
This
is
a
sure
argument
that
such
a
calling
is
approueable
before
God
and
man
in
foro
in
ciuili
,
&
conscientiae
Hereby
we
do
know
that
vermine
are
not
Gods
creatures
,
framed
amongs●
his
workes
of
the
sixe
dayes
:
because
were
they
all
destroyed
,
yet
the
world
should
not
want
any
thing
of
his
perfection
.
Also
it
is
a
certaine
demonstration
that
Carbuncles
,
Wennes
,
Warts
,
are
no
parts
at
all
of
the
body
:
because
they
being
cut
off
and
taken
away
,
the
body
is
not
the
worse
,
but
the
better
.
Semblablewise
,
there
needs
no
better
reason
to
proue
that
common
vsurers
,
which
liue
vpon
the
loane
of
money
,
eating
other
mens
flesh
to
cherish
their
owne
,

and
card-makers
,

,

Also
tapsters
&
beere-drawers
,
Ballad-makers
,
pipers
,
and
fidlers
,
beare-warders

and
hobby-horse-makers
.
These
,
I
say
,
and
all
such
like
,
which
are
so
needlesse
and
idle
,
that
if
none
of
them
at
all
were
found
in
all
this
land
;
yet
not
onely
there
would
be
no
want
of
them
,
but
great
cause
to
thanke
God
for
the
want
of
them
(
being
properly
and
not
by
abuse
,
as
ale-houses
and
brewers
be
,
onely
the
nests
and
nurceries
to
hatch
&
harbor
many
foule
vices
)
need
no
better
euidence
against
them
to
conuince
them
to
be
such
as
ought
to
be
blotted
out
of
the
catalogue
of
warrantable
trades
;
because
they
be
not
onely
needelesse
,
but
some
of
them
also
vnprofitable
and
hurtfull
:
as
on
the
other
side
it
is
an
vngainsayable
argument
to
proue
any
calling
lawfull
,
if
it
may
truly
be
saide
it
is
needfull
.

they

so
it
wold
please
you
to
make
a
conscience
of
your
duty
herein
,
to
afford
your
countenance
and
protection
to
all
painefull
tradesmen
,
and
vnto
all
needefull
trades
,
the

as

as
the

not
so
cherishing

as
you
neglect

but
equally
maintaining

It
is
a
good
speech
of
the
heathen
Oratour
,
that
it
is
requisite
in
a
good
gouernour
so
to
respect
one
part
of
the
weale-publicke
,
as
that
he
doth
not
despise
another
.
Hitherto
I
haue
entreated
of
the
first
part
of
our
text
:
to
wit
,
the
narration
of
the
want
,
that
Israel
had
of
Smiths
:
wherin
we
haue
seene
the
dignity
,
and
the
necessity
of
this
vocation
.
I
hasten
now
to
the
second
part
of
our
text
,
Thesecond
part
of
the
Text
,
to
wit
,
the
reason
of
the
want
.
to
examine
the
reason
of
this
want
.
(
For
●he
Philistines
said
,
lest
they
make
them
wordes
or
speares
.
)
These
words
do
teach
vs
to
know
that
the
reason
of
this
●he
Israelites
want
was
the
deepe
pol●cy
of
the
subtile
Philistines
:
who
●eing
desirous
still
to
keepe
Israel
in
●●ruitude
,
craftely
inuented
this
devise
,
Pollicy
of
the
Philistines
.
to
take
their
Smiths
wholly
●rom
them
,
to
this
end
and
purpose
,
that
the
Hebrewes
might
haue
no
heart
to
rise
vp
in
rebellion
against
them
,
or
no
hope
of
preuailing
of
they
●●d
,
being
left
destitute
of
weapons
,
either
to
defend
themselues
,
or
to
offend
their
aduersaries
,
this
was
a
dangerous
drift
.
These
craftie
vncircumcised
Philistines
dealt
with
Gods
people
,
as
common
robbers
with
vs
deale
,
with
true
men
and
honest
trauellers
:
whome
they
first
spoyle
of
their
weapons
,
and
afterwarde
bind
them
;
so
these
Philistines
that
they
may
keepe
the
Israelites
fa●●
bound
in
the
cords
of
their
tyranny
they
do
therefore
take
order
that
the●
may
haue
no
warlike

to

themselues
.
This
craft
they
learned

This
is
the
vniuersall
policy
of
the
●opish
Prelacy
in
all
places
(
where
●hey
can
preuaile
)
to
depriue
the
people
of
all
meanes
to
escape
the
slauery
and
tyrannicall
butchery
of
consciences
:
for
this
purpose
keeping
from
them
by
fire
and
sword
,
both
the
weapon
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
such
wise
and
expert
Smiths
as
might
instruct
them
how
to
handle
their
weapon
,
herein
lending
their
hand
and
helpe
to
Sathan
(
though
with
no
such
direct
intention
)
to
strengthen
his
power
and
increase
his
dominion
,
which
by
no
way
is
more
established
and
enlarged
,
then
by
driuing
out
such
Smiths
from
vs
,
and
denying
that
two
edged
sword
to
vs
.
To
descend
from
whole
countries
vnto
particular
persons
.
When
Sathan
would
draw
any
backe
into
his
snares
who
haue
escaped
them
,
or
hold
those
fast
which
yet
are
entangled
in
his
bands
,
is
not
this
his
ordinatie
policy
to
perswade
tempted
and
troubled
soules
,
that
it
bootes
them
not
to
reade
or
to
heare
,
An
ancient
and
common
policy
of
the
Tempter
.
and
that
it
is
in
vaine
for
them
to
pray
,
for
God
will
not
heare
such
sinners
,
or
else
such
sinners
cannot
pray
to
God
?
He
knowes
full
well
how
easie
the
victo●y
will
bee
for
him
,
if
once
hee
may
●aine
this
at
our
hands
,
that
we
be●ome
willing
to
cast
away
our
weapons
:
for
then
as
naked
and
vnarmed
●en
,
so
we
may
be
ouercome
by
him
●ithout
any
stroake
striking
.
No
●orldly
enemie
feares
the
edge
of
a
materiall
sword
,
so
much
as
Sathan
●eareth
the
force
of
feruent
prayer
:
which
preuaileth
much
with
that
God
,
whose
power
alone
is
Sathans
curbe
and
bane
:
Therefore
hee
resolues
that
he
hath
more
then
halfe
won
the
field
,
if
he
may
winne
this
to
make
thee
giue
ouer
praying
to

in

mediation
of

.
Now
sithence
we
heare
what
policies
olde
and
new
Philistines
vse
for
vpholding
of
their
kingdomes
,
and
whence
they
learne
it
,
what
remai●eth
but
this
:
that
we
be
admonished
not
onely
to
beware
of
them
,
lest
we
be
circumuented
:
But
furthermore
,
Christian
pollicy
.
to
●se
such
policie
to
good

,
as
they
turne
and
employ
vnto
euill

Children

Our
gouernours
do

there
is
order

and

.
The
third
thing

text
,
The
third
part
of
the
Text.
doth
concerne
the
effects
which
did
follow
the
pestilent
policy
of
the
Philistines
,
in
taking
Smiths
from
the
Hebrews
.
These
effectes
do
belong
to
the
time
of
warre
or
of
peace
.
In
the
time
of
warre
they
had
neither
sword
nor
speare
,
a
sore
defect
:
for
it
gaue
power
and
liberty
to
the
treacherous
,
and
tyrannous
Philistines
,
a
great
deale
more
easily
,
not
onely
to
keepe
vnder
the
Israelites
,
but
to
kill
them
also
:
euen
to
take
away
their
liues
when
they
listed
,
as
they
had
before
taken
away
their
liberty
.
We
may
very
well
by
our selues
iudge
how
miserable
this
case
was
,
if
we
will
but
a
little
imagine
it
to
be
our
owne
case
.
Though
we
be
now
at
peace
with
all
our
neighbour
countries
;
yet
doe
but
suppose
that
we
wanted
speare
,
shield
and
sword
,
bow
and
bill
,
guns
,
and
all
other
military
furniture
offensiue
and
defensiue
,
is
it
not
more
then
probable
,
and
likely
that
we
could
not
be
in
this
peace
foure
and
twenty
dayes
to
an
end
:
but
that
one
or
other
which
now
holds
league
of
peace
with
vs
,
more
to
serue
their
owne
turne
then
for
any
loue
to
vs
,
would
take
the
oportunity
,
especially
such
as
hold
their
hands
off
,
because
they
are
too
weake
for
vs
:
lacking
not
will
but
might
to
destroy
this
noble
kingdome
,
and
be
glad
to
make
a
spoyle
of
our
riches
,
and
a
massaker
of
our
persons
.
And
touching
the
other
euill
effect
ensuing
the
want
of
Smiths
,
if
it
were
so
with
vs
,
that
for
our
axes
wherewith
we
hew
our
wood
,
or
mattocks
wherewith
we
digge
our
ground
,
our
shares
wherewith
we
plough
our
fields
,
and
our
hookes
wherewith
we
weed
our
corne
,
we
should
be
inforced
to
trauell
so
farre
as
Scotland
,
or
Wales
,
or
Holland
to
whet
them
when
they
were
blunt
and
vnfit
for
vse
;
might
we
not
thinke
this
(
and
that
worthily
)
to
be
a
very
great
extremitie
?
This
was
the
very
case
of
the
Israelites
,
whose
land
was
much
like
in
compasse
(
as
appeares
by
the
maps
)
to
this
our
Realme
of
England
.
There
being
then
neither
in
towne
nor
city
a
Smith
to
be
had
,
it
must
needs
be
that
such
as
dwelt
in
some
part
of
the
country
,
were
driuen
to
trauell
very
far
when
they
had
need
but
to
whet
a
toole
:
for
they
were
faine
to
go
to
the
Philistines
for
it
,
who
had
gotten
all
their
Smiths
into
their
coasts
.
From
hence
there
is
iust
occasion
offered
to
say
something
of
the
commoditie
of
Black-smiths
,
as
before
we
spake
of
their
worth
,
ancientnesse
,
and
needfulnesse
.
Commodity
of
Smiths
in
peace
.
For
the
times
of
peace
what
vse
and
benefit
they
are
to
vs
it
is
more
manifest
then
I
neede
to
say
much
:
for
who
is
ignorant
that
this
trade
doth
helpe
to
maintaine
husbandry
,
by
which
euen
the
King
is
maintained
.
The
life
both
of
prince
and
subiect
is
preserued
by
the
fruits
of
the
ground
,
and
these
cannot
be
attained
without
the
aid
of
the
Black-smith
,
who
shapeth
and
sharpens
the
instruments
by
which
the
ground
is
manured
.
What
shall
I
tell
you
,
that
neither
could
you
haue
Cities
to
dwell
in
,
nor
Churches
to
serue
God
in
,
nor
ships
to
transport
,
and
import
commodities
by
,
were
it
not
for
Smiths
,
who
make
those
instruments
,
by
which
great
Fabricks
are
both
made
and
maintained
?
Neither
can
we
in
the
night
lye
safe
in
our
beds
,
for
feare
of
theeues
,
if
the
Smiths
daughter
be
not
before
their
hands
.
Nor
trauaile
in
the
day
securely
for
robbers
,
were
we
not
armed
with
weapons
of
their
framing
.
And
touching
the
vse
of
them
in
warre
;
because
euery
man
doth
sufficiently
vnderstand
,
that
neither
our
harnesse
can
be
at
the
first
fashioned
,
For
war
.
nor
afterward
burnished
,
and
made
fit
for
vse
,
but
by
their
hands
;
therefore
I
am
determined
to
spend
,
no
more
time
in
a
thing
so
plaine
.
I
will
addresse
my selfe
now
,
Conclusion
containing
an
exhotation
to
men
of
all
callings
to
behaue
themselues
religiously
and
iustly
in
them
.
that
I
●aue
shewed
you
the
dignity
,
ant●quity
,
necessity
,
and
commodiry
of
th●s
your
calling
,
to
instruct
you
how
t●
cary
your selues
worthy
so
good
●●d
commendable
a
vocation
.
For
the
which
purpose
,
there
are
two
things
sereof
you
haue
speciall
need
,
and
●st
take
speciall
care
of
;
the
one
is
,
that
you
walke
in
your
calling
religio●sly
:
the
other
,
that
you
behaue
your selues
iustly
therein
.
But
this
I
would
haue
noted
,
that
what
I
speake
to
you
Black-smiths
,
for
exhortation
to
carry
your selues
vprightly
and
religiously
in
your
callings
:
the
same
I
also
speake
to
all
sere
present
,
of
what
art
or
function
soeuer
they
be
.
Hearken
then
,
I
pray
you
,
and
consider
,
that
to
a
religious
walking
in
your
calling
,
there
be
these
fiue
things
very
requisite
.
First
,
sound
and
distinct
knowledge
.
Secondly
,
true
faith
.
Thirdly
,
Christian
hope
.
Fourthly
,
feruent
prayer
.
And
lastly
,
humble
thankfulnesse
,
Of
each
of
these
a
little
,
and
but
a
little
.
To
begin
with
knowledge
,
which
is
the
beginning
of
euery
good
action
.
Knowledg
.
That
which
the
Apostle
speakes
of
meates
,
and
marriages
,
that
they
must
be
sanctified
by
the
word
.
1.
Tim.
4.4
,
or
else
the
vse
of
them
cannot
be
holy
and
good
vnto
vs
,
the
very
same
is
to
be
affirmed
concerning
all
trades
and
functions
,
that
ye
cannot
vse
them
with
a
good
conscience
,
vnlesse
your
minds
be
first
informed
,
and
enlightned
by
the
word
to
know
their
lawfulnesse
,
and
directed
by
the
same
word
to
the
right
vse
of
them
.
Ignorance
which
is
the
mother
of
errour
in
opinion
,
is
also
the
mother
of
sinne
in
action
:
men
do
erre

Faith

and
practise
,
because
they
know
not
the
Scriptures
.
But
what
vse
is
there
for
faith
(
will
you
say
)
toward
the
religious
performance
of
our
manuary
workes
?
Yes
very
great
:
For
it
is
written
,
that
without
faith
we
cannot
please
God
:
neither
we
,
nor
our
workes
can
please
God
,
vnlesse
they
become
acceptable
vnto
him
through
faith
.
Two
actions
of
faith
there
be
needfull
to
him
,
that
will
do
the
duties
of
his
calling
in
a
religious
sort
,
acceptable
to
God
.
First
,
1.
Action
of
faith
.
to
apprehend
the
promise
of
forgiuenesse
of
sinnes
by
Christ
,
beleeuing
that
God
is
reconciled
to
our
persons
by
the
bloud
of
that
immaculate
Lambe
:
for
as
a
gift
can
neuer
be
welcome
vnto
vs
,
Simile
.
when
we
dislike
the
giuer
:
so
God
is
neuer
well
pleased
with
any
thing
that
we
do
,
till
he
be
pleased
with
vs
.
The
second
office
of
faith
,
2.
Action
of
faith
.
is
to
assure
our
hearts
,
that
our
calling
is
warrantable
,
that
we
may
do
the
workes
thereof
with
a
good
conscience
,
and
that
through
pardon
of
the
wants
,
and
faults
that
sticke
to
them
,
(
as
they
come
from
vs
)
they
are
accepted
of
God
through
that
mediatour
,
by
whom
we
know
our selues
to
be
accepted
.
If
any
of
you
haue
gotten
this
faith
,
you
may
be
bold
and
well
perswaded
,
that
the
meanest
worke
you
do
in
your
calling
,
euen
to
the
wiping
of
a
shooe
,
and
sweeping
of
a
house
,
&
driuing
in
a
horsenaile
,
is
gratious
vnto
that
God
,
who
doth
euer
more
respect
the
manner
,
then
the
matter
of
our
workes
.
3.
Hope
.
Labour
therefore
in
faith
,
and
labour
also
vnder
hope
;
for
seeing
God
hath
made
a
couenant
with
you
to
be
your
God
,
and
this
couenant
containeth
in
it
things
earthly
belonging
to
this
life
,
as
well
as
spirituall
things
belonging
to
the
life
to
come
;
it
is
therefore
your
part
,
and
duty
,
to
do
euery
worke
of
your
calling
with
a
sure
expectation
,
and
hope
for
a
blessing
from
God
.
Howbeit

is
your
duty
to

comes
from

wherefore
as

and
that

entrance

may
be
found
in
Turks
,
Iewes
,
Pagans
and
Heathen
,
who
by
the
light
of
nature
are
stirred
vp
to
take
care
for
themselues
and
their
families
,
1.
Tim.
5.6.7
.
to
prouide
food
for
the
belly
,
and
cloth
for
the
backe
:
yea
,
the
very
brute
beasts
by
the
instinct
of
nature
are
moued
to
seeke
out
for
themselues
,
and
their
yong
ones
,
that
they
may
be
able
to
liue
without
perishing
for
want
of
meate
.
Therefore
as
our
Sauiour
Christ
said
vnto
them
that
would
loue
none
,
but
they
that
loued
them
;
and
would
do
good
to
none
,
but
to
them
that
do
good
to
them
againe
,
what
a
singular
thing
do
ye
?
do
not
euen
the
publicanes
and
sinners
the
same
?
So
I
say
to
these
that
labour
in
their
calling
,
diligently
and
constantly
:
yet
,
for
their
liuing
sake
onely
,
not
for
the
common
good
of
that
society
wherein
they
liue
,
what
singular
thing
do
ye
?
Do
not
the
Pagans
;
nay
,
the
very
brute
beasts
the
same
?
Hearken
therefore
to
the
counsaile
of
the
Apostle
,
willing
vs
to
do
all
things
in
loue
,
which
will
make
vs
to
respect
our
neighbour
as
well
as
our selues
,
and
in
seruing
our selues
to
serue
others
.
The
next
vertue
required
to
your
iust
walking
in
your
callings
,
Integrity
.
it
is
Integrity
,
that
you
do
vnto
euery
one
that
which
is
right
,
making
your
ware
substantiall
,
and
your
price
equall
,
that
you
may
giue
as
good
as
you
take
,
auoyding
all
wrong
,
deceipt
,
and
oppression
.
To
which
purpose
,
I
beseech
you
,
Reasons
to
perswade
louing
and
iust
dealing
.
to
consider
of
these
few
reasons
,
why
you
ought
after
this
sort
to
cary
your selues
in
your
vocations
.
First
,
if
you
do
not
deale
louingly
,
and
vprightly
,
it
will
cost
you
no
lesse
then
the
losse
both
of
Gods
fauour
and
kingdome
:
for
it
is
written
,
that
vnrighteous
persons
shall
not
inherite
the
hingdome
of
heauen
.
1.
Cor.
6.9
.
Therefore
looke
to
it
,
for
as
sure
as
God
spake
this
,
Non
tollitur
peceatum
,
nisi
restituatur
rabletum
.
so
sure
it
is
they
shall
neuer
be
saued
,
that
deale
deciptfully
,
except
they
repent
,
and
restore
if
they
be
able
.
Againe
,
if
you
deale
subtilly
and
deceiptfully
with
your
neighbours
vttering
bad
ware
in
stead
of
good
,
or
bad
and
good
together
(
as
if
all
were
good
)
or
good
ware
onely
at
too
high
a
rate
,
you
shall
giue
testimony
to
the
world
,
and
to
your selues
that
you
are
his
children
,
who
is
the
father
of
lyes
.
We
vse
to
terrifie
our
children
from
lying
with
this
argument
,
because
they
that
lye
are
the
diuels
children
,
and
in
the
13
of
the
Acts
,
Paul
doth
conclude
Elymas
to
be
the
child
of
the
diuell
,
because
he
was
full
of
subtilty
:
doth
it
not
then
stand
you
vpon
as
you
would
not
be
counted
the
children
of
such
a
father
,
to
abhorre
a
deceiptfull
lying
tongue
,
and
false
weights
,
both
which
are
as
abhominable
to
God
,
as
they
be
pleasing
to
sathan
.
Adde
hereunto
that
you
cannot
deceiue
,
and
wrong
others
in
your
dealings
,
but
that
you
much
more
deceiue
and
wrong
your selues
,
for
by
vncharitable
and
vnrighteous
practise
in
your
callings
,
you
giue
a
deepe
wound
.
First
,
to
your
conscience
.
Secondly
,
to
your
credit
.
And
thirdly
to
your
state
.
Your
conscience
by
your
sin
takes
a
greater
gash
then
any
sword
can
giue
vnto
your
flesh
,
and
it
cannot
but
be
a
great
bleamish
to
your
reputation
and
names
,
when
you
gaine
the
report
of
vnhonest
,
and
vnfaithfull
dealers
,
the
very
fame
and
noise
whereof
will
be
as
a
sharpe
and
strong
scourge
,
to
driue
away
from
you
all
your
customers
.
Thinke
vpon
these
things
seriously
when
you
are
tempted
to
any
falsehood
and
iniury
,
&
do
but
aske
your selfe
,
at
that
time
,
when
you
are
about
to
offer
it
vnto
others
,
whether
ye
could
be
pleased
to
haue
it
done
to
your selues
,
and
if
your
conscience
tell
you
,
that
you
your selues
would
not
be
ill
dealt
withall
;
then
take
heed
how
you
offer
ill
measure
to
others
.
For
this
is
the
law
,
and
the
Prophets
,
Mat.
7.
to
do
to
others
as
we
would
be
done
to
,
I
am
sure
if
a
smith
,
Pewterer
,
or
Ioyner
,
if
he
haue
to
do
with
a
Tailour
,
he
will
looke
to
haue
all
his
cloth
put
into
his
garment
,
or
else
to
returne
to
him
that
which
is
too
much
.
Let
the
Smith
and
the
Cutler
do
likewise
vnto
others
:
and
the
rather
because
if
your
ware
should
not
be
substantiall
;
it
may
proue
not
onely
hurtfull
to
such
as
vse
it
,
but
turne
to
the
harme
and
vndoing
also
of
many
others
,
as
if
a
sword
haue
not
a
strong
backe
it
may
breake
,
and
be
the
ouerthrow
of
an
army
,
if
a
strake
be
not
firme
it
may
ouerturne
the
wagon
,
and
the
passengers
,
as
is
often
seene
by
lamentable
experience
,
if
a
plough
be
not
sharpe
it
will
make
no
furrow
in
the
earth
.
Finally
,
that
we
may
draw
to
an
end
,
among
innumerable
reasons
which
may
preuaile
to
hold
you
in
a
louing
and
vpright
course
one
toward
another
,
be
ye
alwaies
mindfull
of
your
death
,
and
of
the
last
iudgment
.
For
would
you
seriously
thinke
vpon
this
,
and
beleeue
that
you
are
mortall
,
brittle
,
and
glassy
creatures
,
and
of
a
daies
continuance
,
like
to
the
smoake
that
vanisheth
,
like
to
the
weauers
shuttle
,
and
to
the
Eagles
,
that
passe
&
flie
away
swiftly
,
hastening
to
your
graues
,
as
the
day
to
an
end
,
hauing
death
euer
at
your
elbow
,
ready
as
a
sergeant
,
or
baylife
to
arrest
you
:
and
withall
ponder
this
,
that
being
dead
,
you
must
come
before
that
al-seeing
,
seuere
,
and
mighty
Iudge
:
whose
knowledge
you
cannot
deceiue
,
whose
power
you
cannot
auoid
,
whose
iustice
you
cannot
escape
,
and
whose
wrath
you
are
neuer
able
to
abide
.
These
meditations
being
imprinted
in
your
hearts
,
would
moue
and
bow
them
(
were
they
as
hard
as
flint
)
to
relent
for
your
misdealing
past
,
laying
hold
on
Gods
mercies
in
Christ
for
pardon
,
and
conscionably
to
looke
to
your
steppes
in
time
to
come
,
and
surely
if
so
holy
men
as
the
Apostle
Paul
,
and
the
Euangelist
Timothy
did
set
before
their
eyes
the
terrour
of
that
day
,
2.
Cor.
5.10
.
2.
Tim.
4.1.2
.
and
the
comming
of
that
dreadfull
iudge
that
they
might
hold
themselues
the
better
to
the
duties
of
their
callings
,
let
not
other
men
thinke
if
they
neglect
such
meditations
,
that
they
shall
well
and
worthily
discharg
their
workes
?
That
ancient
father
Hierome
professed
of
himselfe
that
whether
he
were
at
home
,
or
abroad
,
in
worke
,
or
recreation
,
eating
,
drinking
,
walking
,
talking
,
sleeping
,
waking
thought
still
he
heard
a
trumpet
sound
,
&
a
voice
saying
vnto
him
,
arise
from
the
dead
and
come
to
iudgement
.
Blessed
are
they
that
are
thus
watchfull
,
alwaies
thinking
vpon
their
own
ends
,
and
the
worlds
end
,
that
when
the
Bridgrome
commeth
either
,
to
euery
man
particularly
by
death
,
or
to
all
generally
by
iudgement
,
he
may
find
vs
all
ready
&
prepared
,
with
the
good
seruant
in
the
Gospell
,
hauing
our
loynes
girt
,
and
our
lampes
burning
that
we
may
enter
with
him
into
his
ioyes
,
which
God
grant
euen
for
Christ
Iesus
sake
,
to
whom
with
the
Father
,
and
the
holy
Spirit
,
be
all
praise
,
and
thanksgiuing
now
and
for
euer
.
Amen
.
