shal
the

take

For
I
had
no
sooner
determined
in

but
that
vpon
speciall
occasion
offered

some
of

broode
(
who
vnder
an
hipocriticall
shew
of

sought
to
corrupt
the
pure

deface
the
ministerie
,

subuert
the

I
was
moued
in
zeale
of

to
stay
my
former
pretence

And
rather
(
as
time
then
required
)
to

THE
PILGRIMAGE
to
Paradise
.
Chapter
1.
He
that
in
Paradise
wil
taist
the
fruites
of
Diuinity
,
must
first
learne
to
know
himselfe
in
the
schole
of
humility
.
HVmility
is
a
vertue
springing
from
the
feare
of
God
:
the
mother
of
meekenesse
:
and
sister
of
deuotion
:
without
which
no
man
can
attaine
to
the
knowledge
and
feeling
of
his
owne
misery
in
Adam
:
&
felicity
in
Christ
.
A
Birde
,
except
her
winges
be
mooued
downwards
,
can
not
flye
vp
to
the
top
of
an
hill
:
nor
man
,
except
the
affections
of
his
hart
be
humbled
downwards
:
mount
vp
to
the
towre
of
diuine
vnderstanding
.
And
therfore
that
godly
father
S.
Augustine
,
Augustin
de
ciuitate
Dei
.
compareth
heauen
vnto
a
faire
stately
Pallace
,
with
a
litle
dore
:
whereat
no
man
can
enter
,
except
he
stoupe
very
low
.
As
who
should
say
,
God
reiecteth
the
proude
,
and
giueth
grace
to
the
humble
and
lowlye
.
Psalm.
51.
The
true
wisedome
of
a
Christian
Pilgram
,
consisteth
espetia●ly
,
in
the
knowledge
of
his
owne
imperfections
.
Then
are
we
said
to
bee
righteous
(
saith
Ierom
)
when
we
acknowledge
our selues
to
be
wicked
transgressors
.
Ierom
in
his
first
B.
against
Pelagius
.
Augustin
.
He
hath
much
profited
in
this
life
(
saith
S.
Augustin
)
that
hath
learned
how
farre
he
is
from
perfection
of
righteousnes
.
1
Tim.
1.15
For
the
lesse
opinion
a
man
hath
of
himselfe
:
the
more
trust
he
hath
in
God
.
And
the
more
he
feeleth
in
his
conscience
,
the
horror
of
hell
:
Those
that
feel
not
the
horror
of
hell
,
passe
litle
for
the
ioyes
of
heauen
.
Psal.
●1.

.
the
nearer
he
is
to
the
ioyes
of
Heauen
.
None
so
neare
,
as
the
humble
penitent
,
whose
hart
is
most
deepely
wounded
with
the
greeuousnes
of
sinnes
:
nor
none
so
farre
from
true
religion
,
as
he
who
thinketh
himselfe
most
perfect
and
very
religious
.
The
ioyes
of
Paradise
are
prepared
,
not
for
proud
presumptuous
Pharasyes
,
who
seeme
in
their
owne
Eyes
,

most
iust
,
pure
and
perfect
:
but
poore
humble
Publicans
,
that
iustly
condemne
,
themselues
,
as
most
vile
,
miserable
and
wretched
.
The
Sunne
of
man
came
not
to
call
the
righteous
:
Luke
.
5.32.19
,
10.15
23.24
but
sinners
to
repentance
.
To
seeke
vp
none
,
but
those
that
do
acknowledge
themselues
to
bee
lost
.
To
comfort
and
to
raise
vp
none
with
his
Gospel
:
but
those
which
bee
discomforted
,
and
cast
downe
by
the
law
.
Nor
to
annoint
and
heale
none
with
his
oyle
of
gladnes
,
but
such
broken
and
contrit
hartes
,

Chapter
II.
Of
the
lothsome
deformity
of
nature
through
Adams
fall
.
All
which
parts
of
man
(
at
the
fyrst
)
were
in
such
perfect
order
and
conco●d
,
framed
together
:
as
nether
the
immortall
spirit
did
conceaue
any
thing
:
the
naturall
powers
of
the
soule
desyre
any
thing
:
nor
the
terrestriall
body
,
execute
any
thing
,
contrary
to
the
wil
of
God
.
All
creatures
vnder
heauen
,
being
obedient
to
the
body
of
man
:
as
the
subiects
to
the
Prince
.
The
naturall
body
,
obedient
to
the
reasonable
soule
:
as
the
seruant
to
the
maister
.
And
the
reasonable
soule
,
with
his
affections
,
obedient
to
God
the
Creator
:
as
the
child
to
the
father
:
till
that
cursed
serpent
our
mortall
enemie
,
found
means
to
set
them
at
variance
,
Mat.

.
and
discord
.
Synce
which
time
,
the
nature
of
man
became
so
fraill
and
weake
:
the
occasions
vnto
euill
,
so
many
:
and
the
illusion
of
Satan
,
1
Pet.

.
so
prompt
,
and
ready
:
that
except
,
Gods
special
grace
preu●nt
him
:
he
is
apt
and
prone
vpon
euery
light
occasion
,
to
yeeld
vnto
sinne
,
and
wickednes
.
Being
more
easily
brought
to
con●eaue
an
error
,
by
one
little
word
:
then
the
truth
by
a
long
tale
.
And
sooner
seduced
to
consent
vnto
vice
,
by
one
small
example
:
then
conuerted
vnto
vertue
,
by
many
vehement
perswasions
.
Rom.

And
as
the
Iewish
Church
was
likened
vnto
a
garden
Oliue
tree
:
whose
branches
in
time
,
growing
baren
:
were
cutt
off
,
as
vnprofitable
.
And
the
gentles
though
by
nature
wild
oliues
:
yet
being
grafted
in
the
same
,
were
by
grace
,
made
fruitfull
.
So
is
euery
naturall
man
very
aptly
compared
vnto
a
wild
&
bitter
crab-tree
.
And
as
Abraham
was
remoued
from
the
forest
of
Babilonia
:
Gen.

and
replanted
in

What
is
man
?
Appulius
a
Philosopher
,
and
scholler
to
Plato
:
describeth
him
in
this
wise
.
Men
(
saith
he
:
)
are
liuing
creatures
,
dwelling
vpon
the
earth
:
hauing
soules
immortall
:
brutish
seruile
bodies
,
subiect
to
death
:
light
careful
minds
apt
to

:
vaine

:
diuers

long

:
their
time

short

and

What
is
the
state
of
man
?
Saint
Bernard
describeth
it
in
this
maner
.
There
commeth
before
thine
eies
(
saith
he
)
a
man
,
poore
,
naked
,
and
miserable
:
mourning
that
he
is
a
man
:
blushing
that
he
is
naked
:
weeping
for
that
he
is
a
wretch
replenished
with
miserie
and
feare●ull
for
that
his
t●me
is
but
sho●t
.
A
great
part
of
his
life
passeth
away
in
doing
that
is
euill
:
a
greater
part
in
doing
nothing
:
and
the
greatest
part
,
in
doing
thinges
to
small
purpose
.
And
as
the
life
of
man
is
vaine
,
transitorie
,
and
miserable
:
euen
so
is
the
world
:
with
all
thinges
else
,
wherein
humaine
nature
taketh
pleasure
and
delight
:

What
is
the
world
?
A
vaile
of
miserie
:
A
sinck
of
sinne
:
a
mould
of
mischiefe
:
a
den
of
theeues
:
a
court
of
Satan
:
a
purgatorie
of
paine
:
a
mother
to
the
wicked
:
and
a
stepdame
to
the
good
.
Where
the
proud
and
vitious
are
daily
advanced
without
desert
:
and
the
humble
and
vertuous
oppressed
without
cause
:
the
weiwarde
and
seditious
befrended
,
and
the
quiet
and
obedient
molested
:
the
ignorant
and
foolish
permitted
to
speake
:
and
the
wise
and
discreete
put
to
silence
:
crafty
dissemblers
extolled
:
and
simple
insiocents
dispised
.
What
is
the
world
?
A
second
hell
:
full
of
ambitious
desires
:
couetuous
conceates
:
carefull
studies
:
wicked
willes
:
and
diuelish
intents
.
A
cruell
serpent
that
biteth
vs
with
her
teeth
:
scratcheth
vs
with
her
nailes
:
and
swelleth
vs
with
her
poison
.
Much
like
the
deceitful
Laban
.
Who
made
poore
Iacob
serue
seauen
yeares
for

Rachell
:
and
in

,
deceiued
him
with
foule
Lea.
Euen
so
the
world
promiseth
health
,
wealth
,
and
long
life
:
and
in
the
ende
,
deceiueth
vs
with
pouertie
,
sicknes
,
and
death
.
What
is
the
world
?
Her
mi●th
is
but
sorow
:
her
pleasure
,
but
paine
:
her
wisedome
but
foolishnesse
:
and
her
wealth
but
misery
.
Where
nothing
is
to
be
looked
for
,
but
euen
a
rancke
of
troubles
,
one
folowing
in
a●others
necke
.
A
great
trauell
is
created
for
all
men
,
(

some
tormented
with

shoulde

the

As

and
his

bodie
(
from

tormented
with
botches
and
sores
:
hauing
nothing
remaining
but
his
wicked
wise
:
who
seemed
to
be
left
of
the

:
not
to

,
but
vexe
and
tempt
him
,
to
blaspheme
God
.
Ioseph

commaunded

Remember

The

many
notable
lessons

touch●ng
the

not
the

Knowing

so
is
death
the

And
therefore
,
as

we
do
willingly
put

in

the

to
put

He
that

so
ought
wee
willingly

assuring

a

is

stedfast
consent

and
conscience
:
wherewith
man
beleeueth
that
,
which
his
dull
capacity
can
not
comprehend
:
and
is
deuided
into
three
kindes
.
The
first

articles
of
the

,
except
remission
of

yet
remaine
still
in
their

The
second
is
to

:
Luk.

:
Acts

the
true

:

whereby

a

doth
seale
and

a

Prayer

The
matter

lyeth

It
is
not
in
the

but
the
zealous
affection

and
the

It
is
moreouer
to
be
obserued
:
that
our

that

And

For

Chapter
XIII
.
A
briefe
summe
of
Christian
religion
.
AS
the
wise
men
of
the
East
did
offer
vnto
Christ
their
costlye
presents
of
gold
,
Math.
2.11
.
frankensence
,
and
mirre
:

.
so
the
most
pretious
thing
that
we
can
present
vnto
him
,
is
the
golde
of
faith
,
and
sure
hope
:
the
franckensence
of
zeale
,
and
true
deuotion
:
and
the
mirre
of
vertue
,
&
charitable
liuing
.
To
honor
him
with
due
obedience
:
and
depend
wholy
vpon
his
prouidence
.
Ioyning
alwaies
practice
with
knowledge
deedes
,
with
wordes
:
keeping
,
with
hearing
:
walking
with
talking
:
and
expressing
,
with
professing
.
Rom.
2.13
.
Knowing
that
not
the
hearers
of
the
word
,
but
the
doers
,
shall
be
iustified
.
Not
euery
one
that
saith
vnto
me
Lord
,
Lord
,
shall
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
:
Mat.
7.21
.
Ioh.
13.17
.
Luk.
11.28
.
but
he
that
doth
the
will
of
my
father
,
which
is
in
heauen
.
If
you
vnderstand
these
things
(
saith
our
Sauiour
)
happy
are
you
if
you
do
them
.
Blessed
are
they
that
heare
the
word
of
God
,
and
●eepe
it
.
Christian
duetie
consisteth
in
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
faith
in
Christ
,
and
obedience
to
his
will
.
He
that
heareth
the
word
willingly
:
vnderstandeth
it
rightly
:
belieueth
it
faithfuly
:
learneth
it
perfectly
applyeth
it
profitably
:
and
keepeth
it
diligently
:
shall
ioy
with
Christ
assuredly
.
And
this
is
religion
,
or
godlines
,
the
ground
of
conscience
,
and
true
deuotion
.
The
word
of
God
propoundeth
;
repentance
seeketh
:
prayer
findeth
:
faith
apprehendeth
:
hope
assureth
:
and
charity
perfourmeth
.
And
where
faith
neuer
doubteth
:
nor
hope
neuer
shrinketh
:
nor
charity
neuer
ceaseth
:
there
God
neuer
faileth
.
And
this
is
the
golden
chaine
of
saluation
:
the
true
pilgrimage
to
Paradise
,
and
right
ladder
to
heauen
.
To
know
and
beleeue
the
truth
,
are
two
winges
to
flye
vnto
ioy
:
and
to
resist
vice
,
and
practise
vertue
,
two
legges
to
walke
to
felicity
.
Iohn
heard
a
voice
from
heauen
saying
:
blessed
are
the
dead
which
die
in
the
Lord
:
Apoc.
14.13
euen
so
sayth
the
spir●t
,
that
they
rest
from
their
labors
,
&
their
works
follow
them
.
And
he
that
will
die
in
the
Lord
,
must
be
carefull
to
liue
in
the
Lord
.
It
is
an
infallible
rule
,
qualis
vita
,
finis
ita
:
to
him
that
liueth
vertuously
.
God
doth
alwayes
giue
grace
to
dye
faithfully
.
A
ioyful
death
followeth
a
charitable
life
:
and
a
happy
life
insueth
such
a
death
.
So
as
hee
that
liueth
to
dye
well
,
shall
surely
die
to
liue
better
:
whereas
he
that
will
not
frame
himselfe
to
honor
and
obay
the
giuer
of
his
life
:
is
vnworthy
to
haue
or
enioy
his
life
.
And
as
God
in
olde
tune
,
Leuit.
21.
was
not
contented
to
be
serued
with
the
blind
,
lame
,
and
maimed
of
the
flock
:
so
he
that
carelesly
imployeth
the
bewty
and
strength
of
his
youth
,
in
vice
,
vanity
,
and
seruice
of
the
Deuill
:
as
though
old
rotten
bones
,
and
dregs
of
age
were
good
ynough
to
vse
in
the
seru●ce
of
God
:
he
seldome
granteth
either
time
to
liue
long
,
or
grace
to
dye
well
.
Such
as
liue
like
wolues
,
do
often
dye
like
swine
.
Commonly
after
a
dissolute
life
without
feare
of
death
,
followeth
a
desperat
death
,
without
hope
of
life
.
And
it
agreeth
with
all
equity
,
right
,
and
reason
,
that
such
as
in
lewd
behauiour
haue
passed
their
time
:
A
wicked
life
deserueth
a
shamefull
death
.
should
by
rygure
of
iustice
receiue
their
end
.

Iacob

preuailed

was
therefore
called

that

to

that
preuaileth

so
all

To

is
an
office
of
great
honor

and
no

matter
to
obtaine
so
high
a

We
may
not
thinke
to
haue
that
at
the
fyrst

which
all
the
godly
before

with

it
is
our
duty
to
rest
contented
with

:
knowing
that

neuer

nor
suffreth
them

So

to
indure

And
often

those

are
rather

For
euen
as
the
Nurse
,
by
annointing
her

with

doth

so
doth
God
by

:
weane
his
Children

And
as
Moses
,
by

:
euen
so
GOD
by
stryking

stony
Hart

:
bringeth
foorth
teares

contrition
.
And
as
in

the

fined
,

:
so
in
the
Forge

temptation
and

:
the
faithfull
are
tryed
,
and
fined
:
while
the
wicked
are
hardned
and
consumed
.
And
as

,
which

cast
vpon
the
land
:
vnlesse

The

The

correcteth
all

loueth
:
Heb.
12.6

and
scourgeth
euery

So
as
there
is
no
greater
temptation
,
then
neuer
to
be
tempted
:
nor
sorer

then
neuer

Yet
such
is
the
naturall
infirmitie
of

:
that
it
God
beginne

wee
sorow
and
lament
,
as
though
there

none
other

And
if
we
florish

:
we
laugh

Hauing

then

Whereas
wee

Not
what

but
what

For
all
that
Christ
dyed

His

The

The

All

And
there
shall

neither

neither

neither

bee

And
there

and
they
neede
no

neither
light
of

for
the
Lorde
God
giueth
them
light
:
and
they

Thy

neuer
go

shall

and

OH
eternall

thou
God
of
mercy
and

:
to
whom
all
thinges
in
heauen

,
do
bow
and
obay
.
At
t●e
countinance
of
whose
glorious
maiesty
,
the
whole
wo●ld
doth
tremble
and
quake
.
Who
hath
fashioned
man
of
slime
&
earth
,
couered
him
in
his
mothers
wombe
:
and
redeemed
him
from
death
and
hell
.
Who
seeth
the
very
secrets
of
mans
harte
:
vnderstandeth
his
thoughtes
:
and
spiest
out
all
his
wayes
.
To
thee
,
oh
heauenly
king
,
I
humbly
bowe
the
knees
of
my
hart
:
beseeching
thy
fatherly
goodnes
(
in
Iesus
Christ
)
to
heare
me
poore
wretched
child
of
Adam
:
begotten
and
borne
in
sin
:
disquieted
with
troubles
:
wrapt
in
aduersity
,
&
oppressed
with
misery
.
Yet
by
thy
secret
purpose
pertaine
to
thy
kingdome
.
An
vnruly
sheepe
of
thy
fold
,
by
election
and
calling
:
an
vnprofitable
seruant
of
thy
houshold
by
obedience
and
duty
.
And
vnworthy
sonne
of
thy
family
,
by
adoption
and
grace
.
I
will
call
mine
owne
waies
to
remembrance
:
confesse
mine
iniquities
against
my selfe
:
and
power
out
my
complaint
before
thee
.
G●ue
eare
to
my
prayer
O
Lord
:
consider
my
distresse
:
and
ponder
the
voice
of
my
humble
desires
.
Let
the
words
of
my
mouth
,
and
the
meditation
of
my
hart
,
be
alwaies
acceptable
in
thy
sight
:
O
Lord
my
strength
and
my
redemer
.
I
haue
sinned
most
greeuously
(
Oh
mercifull
God
)
against
heauen
,
and
before
thee
.
I
haue
sore
prouoked
thyne
anger
,
oh
Lord
:
thy
wrath
is
waxen
hot
,
&
thy
heauy
displeasure
is
sore
kindled
against
me
.
And
now
in
the
vexation
of
my
spirit
:
and
the
anguish
of
my
soule
(
Remembring
thy
fatherly
kindnes
towards
penitent
sinners
)
I
appeale
to
thy
eternall
mercy
:
acknowledge
my
wickednes
:
and
lament
my
greuous
offences
.
My
hart
is
broken
with
sorrows
:
my
life
waxen
old
with
heauines
:
and
my
yeares
with
mourning
.
How
long
wilt
thou
be
angry
with
thy
seruant
to
Lord
:
how
lo●g
shall
I
seeke
counsell
in
my
soul
:
and
be
so
vexed
in
my
spirit
?
How
long
shall
I
(
poore
sinfull
wretch
)
be
tossed
in
these
troublesome
floods
of
mortality
:
bewayling
the
tediousnes
of
this
my
yrksome
pilgrimage
.
The
infant
ouercommeth
his
mother
with
crying
:
the
child
his
father
with
weeping
:
and
the
seruant
his
maister
with
submission
.
and
wilt
thou
be
no
more
intreated
?
Oh
Lord
,
where
are
thy
tender
mercies
,
and
louing
kindnes
,
which
hath
bin
euer
of
old
?
our
Fathers
hoped
in
thee
,
and
were
deliuered
:
they
put
their
trust
in
thee
,
and
were
not
confounded
.
Thou
art
the
father
of
the
fatherlesse
:
and
the
helper
of
the
frendlesse
.
Thou
hast
alwaies
heard
the
humble
desire
of
the
poore
:
thou
preparest
their
hart
to
call
vppon
thee
:
and
thine
Eares
harken
thereunto
.
Thou
deliuerest
them
from
wronge
:
and
right
deare
is
their
bloud
in
thy
sight
.
Why
art
thou
so
full
of
heauines
then
,
oh
my
soule
:
&
why
art
thou
so
disquieted
within
mee
?
Oh
put
thy
trust
in
God
:
for
I
will
yet
giue
him
thanks
,
which
is
the
helpe
of
my
countinance
,
and
my
God
.
Yea
though
hee
kill
me
:
yet
will
I
trust
in
him
.
I
will
sing
vnto
the
Lord
,
so
long
as
I
liue
:
and
will
praise
my
God
while
I
haue
any
being
.
He
hath
chastened
,
&
corrected
me
:
but
not
giuen
me
ouer
vnto
death
.
And
therefore
my
hart
daunceth
for
ioy
:
my
flesh
shall
rest
in
hope
:
and
in
my
song
will
I
praise
him
.
I
will
honor
him
with
due
obedience
:
serue
him
in
feare
:
and
reioice
vnto
him
with
reuerence
.
Rebuke
me
not
in
thyne
anger
oh
Lord
;
neither
chasten
me
in
thy
heauy
displeasure
.
Forsake
me
not
in
mine
old
age
,
when
my
strength
faileth
me
:
but
comfort
my
heauines
:
pitty
my
misery
:
and
releeue
my
necessity
.
Clense
me
from
my
secret
faultes
:
and
pardon
the
sinnes
of
my
youth
.
Grant
me
a
new
hart
:
a
new
mind
:
a
new
spirit
:
and
a
new
life
.
And
I
wil
offer
vnto
thee
the
sacrifice
of
thankes
geuing
,
and
reioyce
in
thy
saluation
,
oh
thou
most
highest
.
Thy
testimonies
shal
delight
my
soule
,
in
the
dayes
of
my
trouble
:
thy
statutes
shall
be
my
songes
,
in
the
house
of
my
pilgrimage
:
and
thy
law
shall
be
dearer
vnto
me
:
then
thousands
of
gold
and
siluer
.
To
thee
oh
heauenly
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
:
three
distinct
persons
in
Trinitie
:
