THE
VNBELEEFE
OF
.
S.
Thomas
the
Apostle
laid
open
,
for
the
comfort
of
all
that
desire
to
beleeue
:
which
armeth
vs
against
despaire
in
the
houre
of
death
.
Ioh.
20.24
.
&c.
But
Thomas
one
of
the
twelue
,
called
Didymus
,
was
not
with
them
,
when
Iesus
came
.
25
The
other
Disciples
therefore
said
vnto
him
,
We
haue
seene
the
Lord
:
but
he
said
vnto
them
,
Except
I
see
in
his
hands
the
print
of
the
nayles
,
and
put
my
finger
into
the
print
of
the
nayles
,
and
put
mine
hand
into
his
side
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
.
26
And
eight
daies
after
again
his
Disciples
were
within
,
and
Thomas
with
them
.
Then
came
Iesus
,
when
the
doores
were
shut
,
and
stood
in
the
middes
,
and
said
;
Peace
be
vnto
you
.
27
After
he
said
to
Thomas
▪
Put
thy
finger
here
,
and
see
mine
●ands
,
and
put
forth
thine
hand
,
and
put
it
●●to
my
side
:
and
be
not
faithlesse
,
but
faithfull
.
28
Then
Thomas
answered
,
and
saide
vnto
him
,
My
Lord
,
and
my
God
.
29
Iesu●
saide
vnto
him
,
Thomas
,
because
thou
has●
seene
me
,
thou
beleeuest
:
blessed
are
they
,
tha●
haue
not
seene
,
and
haue
beleeued
.
THis
text
of
Scripture
is
appointe●
to
be
read
for
th●
Gospel
vpon
S.
Thomas
day
,
because
it
containet●
a
memorable
storie
of
him
,
whose
blessed
memori●
we
keepe
vpon
that
day
:
to
that
end
that
we
might
be
thankful
vnto
Go●
for
him
,
and
for
the
excellent
gif●
bestowed
vpon
him
,
and
the
gre●●
good
done
to
the
Church
by
his
m●●nisterie
and
preaching
:
and
that
w●●
might
labour
to
imitate
his
vertue
and
to
profit
by
his
great
infirmitie
wherein
consisteth
the
true
and
rig●●
obseruation
of
this
,
and
all
other
su●●
like
daies
.
And
not
in
the
worshipping
of
him
,
and
praying
to
him
,
and
setting
vp
candles
before
his
image
,
and
offering
to
him
,
as
they
did
in
the
time
of
Poperie
;
when
they
praied
vnto
God
to
be
heard
at
his
intercession
,
and
for
his
merits
,
and
blood
shedding
;
as
they
did
vpon
other
such
daies
for
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
,
and
Saints
.
And
they
thought
that
the
celebrating
of
those
daies
was
a
great
honour
and
seruice
acceptable
vnto
them
,
and
they
kept
them
to
that
ende
,
that
they
might
become
their
patrons
,
and
fare
the
better
for
their
sakes
before
God
:
and
they
know
no
other
vse
of
them
vnto
this
day
.
Wherein
they
offer
great
indignitie
vnto
Christ
,
first
,
in
robbing
and
spoyling
him
of
the
honour
and
office
of
his
mediation
and
intercession
,
to
whom
onely
it
belongeth
:
of
whom
the
Apostle
thus
writeth
:
it
is
Christ
which
is
dead
,
yea
or
rather
which
is
risen
againe
:
Secondly
,
they
doe
great
wrong
vnto
him
,
in
hallowing
any
daies
to
the
honour
of
any
,
but
of
God
alone
.
For
all
things
that
are
sanctified
,
are
sanctified
to
his
honour
and
worship
onely
,
who
only
is
to
be
worshipped
&
serued
with
diuine
worship
:
therefore
the
bread
and
wine
in
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
supper
,
and
the
water
in
Baptisme
,
are
sanctified
to
the
honour
of
Christ
,
and
of
none
other
:
as
those
that
represent
vnto
v●
the
breaking
of
his
bodie
,
and
th●
shedding
of
his
most
pretious
bloo●
for
the
forgiuenes
of
our
sinnes
.
An●
so
are
and
ought
the
Churches
to
be
confecrated
to
the
name
and
honour
of
God
alone
(
who
onely
is
there
to
be
serued
)
and
not
of
any
Saint
,
as
in
time
past
they
haue
beene
.
And
so
ought
the
daies
also
:
As
vnder
the
law
all
the
Sabbaths
were
consecrated
vnto
the
honour
of
God
the
creator
of
heauen
and
earth
:
and
vnder
the
Gospel
vnto
the
honour
of
Christ
the
Redeemer
of
his
Church
:
and
all
other
daies
,
that
are
now
put
a
part
among
vs
from
the
common
affaires
of
the
world
,
they
are
sanctified
to
that
ende
,
that
God
might
be
honoured
in
them
,
and
by
them
.
And
therefore
we
put
a
great
difference
betweene
these
holy
daies
,
and
the
Sabbath
,
or
Lords
day
.
First
of
all
in
that
we
know
this
later
to
stand
vpon
a
better
foundation
then
they
,
as
hauing
his
institution
from
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
and
so
doth
binde
all
nations
,
and
is
perpetuall
,
neuer
to
be
changed
.
Whereas
the
former
haue
their
warrant
only
from
men
,
and
so
doe
not
binde
all
Churches
alike
,
and
may
be
changed
,
yea
taken
cleane
away
:
and
serue
onely
for
Christian
policie
,
and
good
order
in
the
Church
,
that
men
vpon
these
daies
might
come
together
,
and
serue
God
.
And
therefore
it
is
to
be
prouided
,
that
there
should
not
be
too
many
of
them
,
least
thereby
men
should
be
hindred
from
the
necessarie
workes
of
their
callings
;
which
hath
mooued
the
reformed
Churches
,
as
in
this
Realme
,
so
els-where
,
to
cut
off
many
that
were
vsed
in
the
time
of
Poperie
,
and
so
to
keepe
themselues
in
a
mediocritie
,
neither
hauing
too
many
,
nor
putting
downe
all
.
Secondly
,
there
is
a
difference
betweene
them
,
in
the
manner
of
keeping
the
one
,
and
the
other
:
for
on
the
Christian
Sabbath
the
lawes
of
our
kingdome
and
Church
doe
restraine
all
men
from
many
things
,
as
from
markets
,
and
faires
,
and
keeping
of
Assises
and
Sessions
for
the
execution
of
iustice
:
which
they
doe
tolerate
and
permit
vpon
other
holydaies
.
Whereas
in
the
time
of
blindnesse
they
sometimes
preferred
these
daies
before
the
Sabbath
;
and
had
more
solemne
seruice
and
feasts
vpon
them
,
and
counted
it
a
more
deadly
sinne
then
to
worke
,
then
vpon
the
Sabbath
day
.
Besides
this
,
they
appointing
these
daies
to
the
honor
of
men
,
did
thereby
greatly
dishonour
the
Saints
themselues
.
For
what
greater
dishonour
can
there
be
vnto
any
man
,
then
to
make
him
a
traytor
?
and
to
giue
vnto
him
that
honour
,
that
is
due
onely
to
the
Prince
?
And
if
any
should
in
simplicitie
and
good
will
ascribe
so
much
to
the
greatest
noble
man
in
the
Realme
,
that
at
the
last
he
should
giue
him
the
titles
that
belong
vnto
the
King
,
and
so
bring
him
into
the
suspicion
of
treason
against
his
will
,
it
were
no
honour
,
but
dishonour
vnto
him
:
So
the
Papists
in
extolling
the
Saints
so
highly
,
that
they
consecrate
daies
vnto
them
,
and
thereby
seeke
to
honour
them
,
and
hope
that
therefore
they
will
become
Patrons
vnto
them
:
all
which
are
proper
vnto
Christ
;
in
so
doing
they
dishonour
them
:
for
they
make
them
,
as
much
as
lieth
in
them
,
to
be
traytors
vnto
Christ
,
in
robbing
him
of
that
honor
that
is
proper
vnto
him
.
And
these
Saints
if
they
were
now
aliue
vpon
earth
,
would
not
onely
not
take
this
honor
vnto
themselues
,
and
thanke
them
for
it
,
but
altogether
refuse
it
,
and
rebuke
them
for
it
:
as
Paul
and
Barnabas
did
vnto
the
people
at
Lystra
,
when
they
brought
buls
with
garlands
,
and
would
haue
sacrificed
vnto
them
:
They
rent
their
cloathes
,
and
ranne
in
among
them
,
IN
this
text
there
are
these
foure
things
principally
to
be
obserued
:
first
of
all
the
great
infidelitie
of
S.
Thomas
the
Apostle
,
who
did
not
beleeue
the
resurrection
of
Christ
,
reported
vnto
him
by
all
his
fellow
Apostles
,
who
had
seene
him
,
v.
24
,
25.
Secondly
,
the
great
mercie
of
Christ
,
who
did
not
cast
him
off
,
and
leaue
him
to
perish
in
this
vnbeleefe
of
his
,
but
most
louingly
in
time
conuenient
sought
to
pull
him
out
of
it
by
all
good
meanes
;
euen
the
very
same
,
which
himselfe
desired
.
vers.
26
,
27.
Thirdly
,
the
increase
of
faith
in
Thomas
by
these
meanes
,
appearing
by
the
confession
that
he
made
,
after
that
he
was
thus
confirmed
,
namely
,
that
he
did
beleeue
,
not
onely
that
he
was
risen
againe
,
but
for
him
,
and
therefore
calleth
him
,
his
Lord
,
and
his
God
.
v.
28.
Lastly
,
here
Christ
vpon
this
occasion
deliuereth
a
generall
doctrine
,
and
so
applieth
this
fact
of
Thomas
vnto
the
whole
church
;
euen
that
they
should
be
blessed
,
who
should
beleeue
in
him
,
though
they
did
not
see
him
,
as
he
had
done
.
I
doe
not
purpose
to
intreat
of
all
these
,
but
onely
of
so
much
,
as
doth
concerne
the
vnbeleefe
of
S.
Thomas
.
But
before
I
come
to
it
,
it
may
seeme
somewhat
strange
,
that
S.
Iohn
in
his
Gospel
doth
write
this
of
his
fellow
Apostle
,
seeing
it
tendeth
so
wholly
to
his
discredit
.
The
other
Euangelists
all
of
them
haue
left
it
out
,
it
may
seeme
in
fauour
of
him
;
and
it
might
be
thought
,
that
it
had
beene
better
,
if
he
had
passed
it
ouer
with
silence
also
.
But
this
Apostle
liuing
longer
then
all
the
rest
,
about
an
hundred
yeares
after
Christ
,
and
so
seeing
all
their
writings
,
doth
adde
this
,
as
a
matter
of
speciall
moment
:
as
indeede
in
it
there
is
offered
to
the
Church
great
instruction
and
consolation
.
And
this
plaine
dealing
of
his
is
a
note
of
that
integritie
,
that
is
to
be
found
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
as
beeing
penned
by
the
spirit
of
God
.
For
they
came
not
in
old
time
,
as
S.
Peter
saith
,
And
the
Apostles
doe
write
the
truth
boldly
and
sincerely
of
their
fellow
Apostles
,
though
their
faults
were
exceeding
great
,
and
not
the
like
almost
heard
of
.
And
to
conclude
this
point
,
their
vprightnes
in
their
writings
appeareth
so
much
the
more
,
that
they
doe
not
spare
themselues
,
but
publish
their
owne
faults
to
the
praise
of
God
,
as
his
spirit
in
them
did
direct
them
.
For
Moses
declareth
at
large
how
slow
&
backward
he
was
to
take
vpon
him
that
calling
,
that
God
had
appointed
him
vnto
,
and
what
excuses
and
delaies
he
made
,
in
so
much
that
the
Lord
was
very
angrie
with
him
.
And
Dauid
writeth
of
the
adulterie
and
murder
,
that
he
had
secretly
committed
against
Bath-sheba
,
and
her
husband
Vriah
:
and
confesseth
openly
,
that
he
had
deserued
death
for
both
of
them
,
when
he
thus
prayeth
,
But
it
may
further
be
demanded
,
though
such
things
as
these
be
written
of
the
Saints
,
whether
they
should
be
read
openly
in
the
Church
vpon
those
holy
daies
,
that
cary
their
name
:
as
if
,
when
we
keepe
the
memorie
of
a
man
,
all
his
euill
deedes
should
be
reckoned
vp
,
tending
to
his
infamie
and
discredit
.
Concerning
which
,
as
the
prouidence
of
God
therein
is
to
be
acknowledged
,
who
hath
thus
disposed
of
it
:
so
we
are
to
reuerence
and
highly
esteeme
the
godly
wisdome
of
those
holy
fathers
,
who
did
first
appoint
those
daies
thus
to
be
kept
.
For
they
did
it
to
the
honour
of
God
;
and
therefore
would
by
the
reading
of
these
texts
of
scripture
haue
all
men
know
,
what
the
Saints
were
of
themselues
:
and
what
infirmities
,
vnbeleefe
,
and
other
sinnes
they
were
subiect
vnto
;
euen
the
same
that
we
are
:
as
Paul
and
Barnabas
saide
of
themselues
,
For
the
purpose
of
those
ancient
fathers
of
the
Church
,
who
apointed
these
daies
thus
to
be
kept
,
was
not
to
set
out
the
Saints
themselues
,
that
we
might
glory
in
them
,
and
in
their
merits
:
but
in
the
merits
of
Christ
,
&
in
the
mercie
of
God
shewed
to
them
for
his
sake
:
and
so
not
only
to
teach
vs
how
rightly
to
esteem
of
them
,
but
●hat
in
them
,
as
in
a
glasse
we
might
see
,
what
we
are
subiect
vnto
:
and
yet
●ow
gratious
God
is
to
pore
sinners
,
〈◊〉
so
might
take
comfort
in
the
mercie
of
God
shewed
to
them
.
As
here
what
great
vnbeeleefe
was
in
Saint
Thomas
,
and
yet
Christ
did
help
him
of
it
,
and
saued
him
?
to
shew
vs
,
that
we
are
as
full
of
vnbeleefe
,
as
he
,
and
much
more
:
yet
Christ
will
not
refuse
vs
,
if
we
do
not
obstinatly
remaine
in
it
,
but
are
willing
to
be
holpen
of
it
,
and
haue
a
desire
to
beleeue
,
by
the
meanes
that
he
shall
bestow
vpon
vs
.
And
this
is
the
vse
that
we
are
to
mak
of
the
vnbeleefe
of
S.
Thomas
,
euen
then
when
we
heare
it
read
vpon
his
day
.
The
Papists
did
not
so
:
for
besides
that
they
had
a
great
number
of
counterfeit
Saints
in
their
Calender
,
whose
names
were
not
written
in
the
booke
of
life
;
some
of
them
traytors
,
and
others
as
ill
,
or
worse
then
they
:
vpon
their
festiuall
daies
,
they
caused
to
be
read
out
of
Legenda
aurea
,
that
is
their
Legend
of
lies
,
a
storie
of
their
liues
,
full
of
all
vertues
,
and
miracles
that
they
wrought
,
some
in
their
life
,
some
after
their
death
,
whereof
most
were
fained
,
and
some
of
them
most
absurd
.
And
thus
they
made
them
to
be
Gods
vpon
the
earth
,
not
making
mention
of
any
fault
of
theirs
at
any
time
,
especially
so
great
as
these
,
that
we
haue
heard
of
in
S.
Thomas
,
S.
Paul
,
and
the
rest
.
Whereby
it
came
to
passe
,
partly
by
the
obseruation
of
those
daies
,
and
partly
by
hearing
what
was
then
reported
of
them
out
of
their
stories
,
that
the
common
people
were
brought
into
a
superstitious
admiration
of
them
,
and
had
no
hope
by
imitating
their
vertues
to
be
like
them
:
but
rather
did
worship
them
by
meanes
of
the
straunge
and
incredible
things
,
that
they
heard
of
them
.
And
so
here
was
no
comfort
from
them
for
poore
sinners
,
but
only
for
their
merits
and
mediation
:
for
they
did
not
speake
of
their
infirmities
and
falls
.
But
we
see
,
how
the
Scriptures
set
out
the
true
Saints
of
God
after
an
other
manner
:
not
onely
in
their
miracles
and
vertues
,
but
in
their
greatest
corruptions
and
sinnes
:
that
we
knowing
what
they
were
of
themselues
,
and
what
they
are
by
the
mercie
of
God
,
and
the
grace
of
Christ
;
the
poorest
sinner
might
be
comforted
in
themselues
by
the
one
,
and
giue
thanks
to
God
for
the
other
.
Seeing
that
there
is
no
sinne
in
themselues
,
which
they
haue
not
seene
pardoned
and
cured
in
some
of
the
Saints
or
other
:
nor
any
grace
wanting
to
themselues
,
which
by
that
experience
of
Gods
goodnes
which
they
haue
scene
in
others
,
they
might
not
hope
for
in
themselues
in
some
measure
.
BVt
I
come
to
the
principal
thing
in
this
text
,
which
is
the
great
infirmitie
,
and
wonderfull
vnbeleefe
that
was
in
the
Apostle
S.
Thomas
,
declared
in
these
wordes
of
his
owne
that
when
the
rest
of
the
Disciples
had
told
him
,
that
they
had
seene
the
Lord
,
he
answered
them
,
Except
I
see
in
his
hands
the
print
of
the
nayles
,
and
put
my
finger
into
the
print
of
the
nailes
,
and
put
mine
hand
into
his
side
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
.
The
circumstance
of
time
,
and
many
occurrants
going
before
this
,
doe
aggrauate
the
greatnes
of
his
vnbeleefe
.
For
this
was
done
the
eight
day
after
Christs
resurrection
:
then
he
did
shew
himselfe
vnto
Thomas
,
as
it
is
saide
,
vers.
26.
Eight
daies
after
his
Disciples
were
againe
within
,
and
Thomas
with
them
,
then
came
Iesus
,
when
the
doores
were
shut
,
&
stood
in
the
middes
,
and
said
,
Peace
be
vnto
you
:
after
he
said
to
Thomas
,
Put
thy
finger
here
,
and
see
mine
hands
:
and
put
forth
thine
hand
,
and
put
it
into
my
side
,
and
be
not
faithlesse
,
but
faithfull
.
In
the
meane
season
he
had
●ppeared
vnto
Marie
Magdalene
at
the
sepulchre
the
first
day
of
his
resurrection
earely
in
the
morning
,
and
shee
knew
him
:
for
he
called
her
Marie
,
and
shee
answered
,
Rabboni
,
that
is
to
say
,
master
,
vers.
17.
at
what
time
,
shee
was
willed
to
goe
tell
the
Disciples
,
that
he
was
risen
:
and
shee
did
so
:
and
also
shewed
them
,
what
other
words
he
had
spoken
vnto
her
:
but
none
of
them
did
beleeue
her
:
as
S.
Marke
saith
.
The
same
night
therefore
he
appeared
vnto
the
eleuen
,
as
they
sat●
together
,
and
cast
in
their
teeth
the●●
vnbeleefe
,
and
hardnes
of
heart
,
because
they
beleeued
not
them
,
wh●●
had
now
twise
told
them
,
that
the●
had
seene
him
,
beeing
risen
againe
,
vers.
14.
And
because
their
vnbeleefe
was
so
great
at
that
time
,
to
put
them
out
of
al
doubt
for
the
time
to
come
,
he
shewed
them
his
hands
,
and
his
side
that
was
pierced
,
and
the
print
of
the
nayles
in
the
one
,
&
of
the
speare
in
the
other
,
and
bad
them
looke
on
them
,
that
they
might
know
that
it
was
he
indeede
,
S.
Iohn
the
Euangelist
doth
report
it
.
At
this
time
Thomas
was
not
present
among
them
.
The
Lord
of
his
infinite
wisdome
and
goodnes
thus
disposing
of
it
,
for
the
further
good
both
of
Thomas
,
and
of
all
the
rest
,
and
of
the
whole
Church
:
that
by
this
meanes
there
might
be
a
new
confirmation
of
his
resurrection
,
by
a
second
and
more
sensible
apparition
:
when
they
should
not
onely
see
againe
the
print
of
the
nailes
in
his
hands
,
but
for
Thomas
also
to
put
his
finger
into
them
.
But
in
the
meane
while
,
all
the
rest
tell
him
,
what
they
had
seene
,
namely
,
not
onely
Christ
in
some
forme
,
but
so
certenly
that
he
spake
vnto
them
,
and
shewed
them
his
hands
and
his
feete
,
and
the
print
of
the
nayles
in
them
,
so
that
they
could
not
possibly
be
deceiued
in
so
cleare
a
matter
:
yet
for
all
this
he
not
onely
not
giueth
credit
vnto
some
one
of
them
seuerally
,
but
not
vnto
all
of
them
ioyntly
,
beeing
so
many
,
and
so
credible
witnesses
:
and
further
,
is
so
wilfull
and
obstinate
,
and
so
addicted
to
his
owne
senses
and
feeling
,
that
he
tells
them
plainly
,
that
vnles
he
himselfe
see
the
print
of
the
nayles
in
his
hands
,
and
may
put
his
finger
into
them
;
and
the
print
of
the
speare
in
his
side
,
and
may
put
his
hand
into
that
,
he
will
neuer
beleeue
it
.
This
is
a
maruelous
thing
,
&
may
seeme
iustly
to
be
wondred
at
,
that
he
beeing
an
Apostle
,
and
one
that
had
beene
conuersant
with
our
Sauiour
Christ
a
long
time
,
and
had
heard
his
doctrine
,
and
seene
his
miracles
;
yea
,
had
preached
saluation
in
his
name
with
the
rest
:
and
had
heard
Christ
often
say
,
that
he
must
be
put
to
death
,
and
the
third
day
rise
againe
:
that
though
he
did
generally
beleeue
in
him
,
yet
he
was
not
perswaded
particularly
of
this
article
of
his
resurrection
.
But
such
is
our
corruption
,
and
we
doe
so
receiue
the
Spirit
but
in
measure
,
that
we
may
be
true
beleeuers
in
many
particulars
:
as
we
see
in
the
Apostle
here
,
who
beleeuing
Christ
to
be
the
sonne
of
God
,
and
the
Sauiour
of
the
world
,
and
so
held
the
maine
point
of
saluation
,
failed
in
the
particular
manner
,
and
was
not
yet
perswaded
of
the
truth
of
his
resurrection
.
But
for
all
this
we
are
not
to
account
him
,
as
an
infidell
,
but
thinke
thus
with
our selues
,
if
such
a
man
as
he
,
was
subiect
vnto
so
great
doubtings
,
no
maruell
then
,
if
I
in
many
particulars
finde
my
faith
to
be
so
full
of
doubting
and
wauering
.
Onely
let
vs
in
these
doubtings
still
vse
the
meanes
,
and
God
will
at
one
time
or
other
blesse
some
of
them
vnto
vs
.
As
Thomas
here
not
beleeuing
that
Christ
was
risen
,
though
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
did
tell
him
of
it
,
did
not
forsake
their
companie
,
but
came
into
their
assemblies
vpon
the
Lords
day
,
to
serue
Christ
with
them
,
and
then
Christ
did
appeare
vnto
him
,
and
ridde
him
of
his
vnbeleefe
.
Whereas
if
he
had
beene
still
absent
,
as
he
was
before
,
and
therefore
hee
remained
longer
in
his
vnbeleefe
then
they
,
God
might
haue
depriued
him
of
all
meanes
,
and
iustly
haue
giuen
him
vp
to
his
vnbeleefe
.
But
this
is
a
greater
wonder
,
and
herein
his
vnbeleefe
doth
appeare
much
more
:
that
besides
the
former
things
,
when
the
other
Apostles
,
whom
he
by
long
experience
knew
to
be
very
reuerend
and
credible
men
,
told
him
that
they
had
seene
the
Lord
,
and
after
what
manner
,
euen
with
the
prints
of
the
nailes
,
&
of
the
speare
in
his
body
,
yet
he
so
distrusted
all
of
them
,
that
he
would
beleeue
none
of
them
.
Oftentimes
wee
beleeue
meaner
men
and
of
lesse
credite
in
matters
of
great
vncertentie
,
and
of
small
moment
:
therefore
not
to
beleeue
so
many
and
of
so
good
credit
,
and
in
a
thing
of
great
moment
,
it
beeing
true
also
,
doth
plainly
shew
,
how
deeply
vnbeleefe
was
rooted
in
him
.
Especially
if
we
consider
how
he
further
addeth
,
that
if
there
were
neuer
so
many
more
of
them
,
let
than
be
,
what
they
will
be
,
that
should
tell
him
so
,
he
would
beleeue
none
of
them
but
his
owne
selfe
,
and
his
owne
sense
and
feeling
:
for
v●les
he
could
see
in
his
hands
the
print
of
the
nailes
,
and
put
his
finger
into
the
print
of
the
nailes
,
and
put
his
hand
into
his
side
,
he
would
not
beleeue
it
.
And
it
seemeth
,
that
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
were
subiect
vnto
this
vnbeleefe
,
though
not
in
the
like
measure
:
for
when
Marie
Magdalen
at
Christs
commandement
,
came
vnto
them
,
and
finding
them
weeping
&
mourning
,
tolde
them
for
their
comfort
,
that
Christ
was
risen
;
though
they
heard
her
say
,
And
it
is
very
probable
,
that
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
in
this
vnbeleefe
of
theirs
,
were
subiect
vnto
the
same
temptations
that
Thomas
was
,
and
had
the
same
thoughts
to
hinder
them
from
beleeuing
,
that
he
had
:
and
namely
,
that
they
spake
within
themselues
,
as
he
did
openly
,
though
for
shame
they
did
not
vtter
it
,
as
often
it
falleth
out
,
that
many
are
afraid
to
vtter
their
temptations
,
they
are
so
fearefull
and
so
straunge
,
that
they
thinke
,
that
none
are
possessed
with
them
,
but
themselues
.
But
the
Apostle
telleth
the
Corinthians
,
that
no
tentation
had
taken
hold
of
them
,
And
that
they
had
indeede
the
same
thoughts
of
vnbeleef
that
Thomas
had
,
it
appeareth
by
the
fact
of
Christ
.
For
when
he
came
among
them
,
and
they
were
abashed
and
afraid
,
If
such
holy
men
as
these
,
who
had
so
many
meanes
to
helpe
their
faith
,
did
not
sufficiently
profit
by
them
at
the
first
;
but
were
found
thus
incredulous
:
then
we
may
be
assured
,
that
vnbeleefe
is
more
deepely
rooted
in
vs
,
then
we
be
a
ware
of
:
and
if
after
many
meanes
,
and
long
continuance
in
the
same
we
finde
it
in
our selues
more
then
we
would
,
we
must
not
too
much
suspect
our selues
,
as
long
as
we
are
sorie
for
it
,
and
doe
groane
vnder
it
,
as
vnder
an
heauie
burden
,
desiring
to
be
eased
of
the
same
.
For
indeed
there
is
no
sinne
in
the
world
,
that
hath
more
infected
mankinde
,
then
that
:
it
came
in
with
our
first
parents
euen
in
Paradise
,
and
it
will
continue
as
long
as
there
is
any
man
vpon
earth
:
it
is
the
first
sinne
that
possesseth
all
men
:
and
it
is
the
last
that
we
must
striue
against
:
in
so
much
that
when
we
haue
ouercome
all
other
,
then
wil
our
vnbeleefe
most
of
all
trouble
vs
.
And
especially
we
shall
finde
this
to
be
true
in
all
afflictions
,
and
in
the
houre
of
death
:
when
the
temptations
of
pride
,
of
vo●uptuousnes
,
of
reuenge
,
&c.
shall
●eaue
vs
,
as
hauing
receiued
their
●eadly
blow
;
then
will
vnbeleefe
,
and
●istrust
fall
vpon
vs
afresh
,
as
though
〈◊〉
had
neuer
beene
wounded
,
or
ne●er
so
much
as
incountred
with
.
For
seeing
that
faith
is
,
as
the
A●ostle
calleth
it
,
Adam
and
Eue
were
first
ouer
come
by
vnbeleefe
,
and
that
was
th●
cause
of
their
ruine
:
for
the
deuill
b●
disputing
with
the
woman
like
a
subtile
Sophister
,
brought
her
at
the
last
to
cal
into
question
the
truth
of
Gods
word
,
and
to
say
,
Besides
,
when
men
are
fallen
into
any
sinnes
,
what
is
the
cause
that
they
doe
not
speedily
repent
them
of
them
,
and
so
leaue
them
,
but
onely
vnbeleefe
?
For
if
they
did
rightly
beleeue
either
the
promises
of
God
,
as
,
At
what
time
soeuer
a
sinner
shall
returne
from
his
sinnes
,
As
that
,
they
shall
doe
wel
enough
though
they
continue
in
their
sinnes
:
or
that
they
shall
haue
time
enough
hereafter
to
repent
them
at
their
leisure
:
and
that
they
may
repent
them
when
they
list
,
or
some
such
like
:
of
which
there
is
nothing
promised
in
the
word
of
God
,
but
the
cleane
contrary
set
down
often
and
very
plainly
.
Therefore
that
men
,
when
they
haue
fallen
into
any
sinne
,
do
so
easily
continue
in
them
,
and
either
repent
them
not
at
all
,
or
doe
it
very
slowly
,
&
that
doth
bewray
sufficiently
,
how
full
of
vnbeleefe
they
are
.
Seeing
therefore
that
it
is
so
vniuersally
spread
ouer
all
men
,
no
maruell
,
if
the
better
sort
doe
complaine
so
much
of
it
in
themselues
,
and
finde
it
to
be
a
great
deale
more
,
then
they
would
.
Agine
,
let
vs
be
in
trouble
,
&
want
meanes
to
helpe
our selues
,
and
see
if
we
be
not
prone
to
distrust
God
?
and
so
not
to
depend
on
his
prouidence
:
but
rather
to
vse
vnlawfull
meanes
to
helpe
our selues
:
or
to
be
too
restles
&
vnquiet
in
the
vse
of
those
that
are
lawfull
:
and
so
either
altogether
to
forget
to
seeke
vnto
God
by
prayer
:
or
else
to
doe
it
very
coldly
,
and
with
little
hope
.
Though
God
hath
saide
,
Call
vpon
me
in
thy
trouble
,
And
to
be
short
,
when
we
are
tempted
vnto
any
sinne
,
we
by
lamentable
experience
finde
,
that
we
are
too
easily
ouercome
,
because
we
beleeue
not
Gods
threatnings
,
that
he
will
assuredly
punish
it
.
And
when
we
are
tempted
for
any
sinne
,
how
soone
are
we
readie
to
despaire
,
because
we
beleeue
not
the
promises
of
forgiuenes
vnto
the
repentant
?
So
that
this
sinne
is
found
in
the
whole
course
of
our
life
:
in
so
much
that
when
we
haue
ouercome
many
other
sinnes
in
the
first
and
second
table
;
then
we
shal
be
either
wholly
ouercome
with
vnbeleefe
,
or
greatly
polluted
with
it
.
The
Deuill
did
greatly
assault
our
Sauiour
Christ
with
this
,
both
in
the
first
entrance
into
his
office
,
and
also
in
the
last
discharging
of
it
.
First
of
all
in
the
wildernes
,
when
he
would
by
that
long
time
of
abstinence
&
want
of
corporall
foode
by
the
space
of
fourtie
daies
,
and
fourtie
nights
,
haue
perswaded
him
,
that
God
had
forsaken
him
,
and
had
no
care
of
him
:
for
then
he
would
haue
prouided
for
him
all
this
while
:
and
therefore
he
must
now
shift
for
himselfe
,
and
if
he
could
doe
any
thing
,
he
must
shew
his
power
,
If
he
be
the
sonne
of
God
indeed
,
Thus
by
tempting
him
to
vnbeleefe
in
the
beginning
,
he
sought
to
discourage
him
from
it
:
and
by
the
same
temptation
of
vnbeleefe
in
the
ending
,
to
cause
him
to
giue
it
ouer
,
before
he
had
happily
finished
it
.
And
after
the
same
manner
the
deuill
setteth
vpon
all
the
members
of
Christ
:
in
the
beginning
of
their
calling
,
he
greatly
buffeteth
them
with
vnbeleefe
,
and
puts
into
them
many
feares
and
doubts
,
that
their
sinnes
shal
not
be
pardoned
;
that
so
they
might
as
men
tired
in
the
combate
,
giue
ouer
,
and
returne
to
their
old
byas
.
And
before
their
death
he
terrifieth
them
againe
with
feare
,
that
they
shall
not
goe
to
heauen
,
that
so
in
despairing
of
so
great
a
matter
,
they
might
giue
ouer
seeking
it
any
longer
.
But
Christ
did
ouercome
by
the
power
of
his
Spirit
in
those
temptations
of
his
,
that
by
the
same
Spirit
he
might
succour
vs
in
ours
.
BVt
to
proceede
,
the
first
degree
of
Thomas
his
vnbeleefe
appeareth
in
this
,
that
he
did
heare
this
often
,
and
of
diuers
,
that
were
very
credible
,
and
yet
he
did
not
beleeue
it
:
as
first
of
all
of
diuers
holy
and
godly
women
,
And
this
though
it
be
a
great
sinne
,
yet
it
was
not
proper
vnto
Thomas
only
,
but
it
was
found
in
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
at
this
present
.
And
that
we
might
not
wonder
at
it
in
them
without
any
profit
,
we
shall
see
it
as
deeply
rooted
in
our selues
,
&
others
:
for
this
is
but
a
looking
glasse
to
let
vs
see
our
owne
vnbeleefe
in
.
For
how
often
haue
we
heard
one
&
the
same
truth
constantly
deliuered
vnto
vs
by
the
Prophets
,
Euangelists
,
and
Apostles
?
&
yet
we
doe
not
beleeue
them
:
we
haue
sundry
times
heard
them
,
and
read
them
,
yea
they
haue
bin
often
preached
vnto
vs
,
and
that
by
sundry
of
the
faithfull
ministers
and
seruants
of
God
;
and
yet
we
gi●e
no
credit
vnto
them
:
and
this
is
too
true
,
whether
we
looke
to
Gods
fearefull
threatnings
,
or
his
mercifull
promises
,
both
for
this
life
,
and
the
life
to
come
.
How
oftentimes
,
and
by
how
many
men
haue
we
heard
,
that
vnlesse
we
repent
,
we
shall
all
perish
;
and
yet
very
few
beleeue
it
,
for
they
goe
on
full
in
their
sinne
,
and
thinke
that
they
shall
doe
well
enough
.
And
that
euery
tree
,
Moreouer
,
how
often
haue
we
heard
,
and
by
how
many
,
that
he
that
is
angrie
with
his
brother
vnaduisedly
,
is
culpable
of
iudgement
:
Yea
let
a
man
come
,
and
deale
with
one
in
any
sinne
of
his
,
in
which
he
is
setled
,
and
denounce
the
iudgements
of
God
against
him
out
of
the
truth
of
his
word
:
and
let
a
second
&
a
third
man
likewise
preach
the
same
vnto
him
at
an
other
time
:
and
he
yet
is
resolute
in
himselfe
,
he
knoweth
as
much
of
that
matter
,
as
any
man
can
tell
him
,
he
will
beleeue
none
but
his
owne
deceitfull
heart
,
and
his
owne
feeling
;
vnlesse
he
feele
the
smart
of
it
vpon
himselfe
,
he
will
giue
no
credit
vnto
it
:
like
vnto
the
men
of
Sodom
,
who
when
righteous
Lot
told
them
of
fire
and
brimstone
,
that
should
come
downe
from
heauen
vpon
them
for
their
horrible
wickednes
,
they
iudged
him
to
be
an
old
doting
foole
,
By
this
infidelitie
,
which
is
in
vs
naturally
,
we
are
enemies
to
our
own
saluation
,
in
that
we
will
not
beleeue
this
part
of
Gods
holy
word
,
preached
vnto
vs
often
by
them
,
that
are
worthie
of
all
credit
.
And
this
was
●he
estate
of
all
of
vs
,
till
God
of
his
great
mercie
did
reforme
vs
,
&
purge
●s
of
this
vnbeleefe
,
that
for
the
amendment
of
our
liues
,
and
repen●ing
vs
of
our
sinnes
,
that
we
might
●e
saued
,
we
would
beleeue
nothing
of
Gods
iudgements
,
and
of
hell
fire
,
●hough
preached
by
many
;
but
onely
●uch
things
,
as
our
blind
reason
did
●erswade
our
false
hearts
of
:
and
that
●e
did
sticke
fast
vnto
,
whatsoeuer
●hen
said
,
and
of
neuer
so
many
to
the
●ontrarie
.
And
the
same
vnbeleefe
●emaineth
still
in
vs
in
measure
in
●at
part
,
that
is
vnregenerate
.
We
must
therefore
examine
our selues
,
that
we
may
find
it
out
,
&
pray
to
God
to
helpe
vs
against
it
,
which
no
doubt
he
will
,
if
we
seeke
vnto
him
,
and
be
desirous
to
be
holpen
of
it
;
as
he
did
here
his
seruant
Thomas
the
Apostle
.
For
this
storie
of
his
vnbeleefe
is
written
,
to
comfort
all
those
that
are
fallen
into
vnbeleefe
,
and
are
desirous
to
be
ridde
of
it
,
and
to
beleeue
,
as
this
Apostle
was
.
But
if
men
for
want
of
due
examinatio●
and
triall
of
their
owne
heart
,
do●
presume
of
that
,
that
is
not
in
them
▪
and
so
imagine
that
they
beleeue
when
they
doe
not
,
or
to
haue
mor●
faith
then
they
haue
;
they
shall
on●
day
finde
,
that
their
phantasie
hat●
deceiued
them
,
and
they
shal
be
farr●
from
beeing
holpen
in
that
,
that
the●
want
.
For
many
thinke
that
it
is
the●
easiest
thing
in
the
world
to
beleeue
when
as
indeede
it
is
the
hardest
;
an●
it
is
more
hard
to
ouercome
our
re●son
in
beleeuing
,
then
the
affections
of
our
heart
in
doing
:
and
therefore
Christ
saith
,
The
gate
is
strait
,
And
that
which
hath
bin
said
of
Gods
iudgments
,
it
is
true
also
of
his
●romises
,
that
there
is
as
much
vn●eleefe
in
vs
towards
the
one
,
as
to●ards
the
other
.
For
how
often
haue
●e
read
the
same
sweet
and
comfor●able
promises
of
God
made
for
our
●ood
:
yea
how
often
haue
they
bin
●reached
ouer
and
ouer
againe
vnto
●s
;
and
yet
we
rather
not
beleeue
thē●t
all
,
or
not
as
we
should
.
Let
vs
take
●ne
for
example
.
The
Lord
saith
by
●is
Prophet
,
Few
or
none
can
say
,
as
Salomon
doth
,
Nay
,
which
is
more
,
if
any
com●
to
them
in
their
trouble
,
and
tell
them
that
they
haue
often
found
this
to
be
true
by
experience
in
themselues
:
as
Dauid
doth
,
The
poore
man
cried
,
Againe
,
how
often
,
and
by
how
many
haue
we
heard
this
truth
of
God
,
To
be
short
,
how
often
haue
we
heard
this
promise
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
;
Lastly
,
let
vs
come
to
the
matter
of
our
saluation
:
This
then
we
see
is
no
new
thing
,
for
men
not
to
beleeue
sundry
parts
of
Gods
word
brought
vnto
them
by
the
ministerie
of
diuers
of
his
faithful
seruants
,
by
reason
of
the
great
vnbeleefe
and
hardnes
of
heart
that
is
in
them
:
whereby
it
commeth
to
passe
that
their
owne
vnderstanding
doth
more
preuaile
with
them
to
distrust
,
then
the
testimonie
of
many
to
beleeue
.
How
then
had
we
neede
to
find
out
this
vnbeleefe
in
our selues
:
which
when
we
haue
done
,
we
are
not
to
iudge
too
hardly
of
our selues
,
seeing
that
it
is
so
common
:
but
onely
lament
&
bewaile
it
,
&
seeke
vnto
Christ
to
be
holpen
of
it
,
who
is
the
author
and
finisher
of
our
faith
:
And
if
there
be
such
great
streams
of
vnbeleefe
in
Gods
children
,
till
they
be
holpen
of
it
,
what
a
bottomlesse
sea
,
thinke
you
,
is
there
of
it
in
the
wicked
?
whereby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
they
are
filled
with
all
atheisme
and
prophannes
;
casting
the
word
of
God
behinde
their
backs
,
so
that
let
neuer
so
many
learned
and
godly
men
,
witnesse
the
truth
vnto
them
for
their
amendment
,
they
will
beleeue
no
more
,
then
they
haue
determined
before
hand
with
themselues
.
Let
vs
pray
to
God
for
them
,
that
they
may
haue
better
mindes
,
euen
desirous
to
beleeue
;
and
then
shall
they
be
holpen
in
time
,
as
the
Apostle
S.
Thomas
was
.
And
for
our selues
,
let
vs
labour
to
haue
teachable
hearts
,
that
we
may
reuerence
&
giue
credit
vnto
them
,
who
in
the
mysterie
of
our
saluation
know
more
then
we
doe
:
and
haue
in
the
matter
of
faith
a
great
deale
more
experience
then
we
our selues
.
That
so
it
may
come
to
passe
,
of
what
minde
so
euer
we
haue
beene
before
,
that
when
Gods
faithfull
seruants
,
whome
we
should
esteeme
and
trust
,
they
shall
tell
vs
so
and
so
:
whether
for
Gods
iudgements
,
or
for
his
promises
,
or
for
the
direction
of
our
liues
,
we
may
beleeue
,
and
obey
them
.
Then
shall
we
come
to
faith
,
and
be
confirmed
in
it
:
And
if
in
other
matters
we
thinke
it
reasonable
,
that
we
should
beleeue
those
,
that
haue
more
knowledge
than
our selues
;
yea
euen
cleane
contrarie
to
that
,
that
we
thought
before
:
as
for
the
matter
of
our
health
we
beleeue
many
skilfull
Physitians
for
the
state
of
our
bodies
,
and
many
expert
lawyers
for
the
state
of
our
lands
and
goods
;
why
should
we
not
then
in
matters
of
diuinitie
,
and
for
the
state
of
our
soules
,
giue
more
credit
to
many
skilfull
Diuines
then
to
our selues
.
Especially
when
as
the
generall
rule
holdeth
as
well
in
that
,
as
in
any
other
science
:
that
euery
skilfull
man
is
to
be
credited
in
his
owne
arte
and
facultie
:
our
reason
is
more
corrupt
in
this
,
then
in
any
other
thing
,
and
therefore
there
is
more
cause
that
we
should
beleeue
others
,
then
our selues
.
Therefore
as
in
other
matters
,
when
we
are
doubtfull
,
we
conferre
with
them
that
haue
more
skill
and
knowledge
,
and
giue
credit
vnto
them
contrarie
to
our
owne
thoughts
,
and
we
are
readie
to
relie
vpon
them
rather
then
vpon
our selues
:
So
let
vs
doe
in
matters
of
faith
,
and
let
vs
not
offer
Gods
seruants
and
our selues
this
great
wrong
,
that
we
wil
beleeue
all
men
in
other
things
,
sauing
then
in
this
.
It
is
too
much
,
that
we
haue
done
it
so
often
alreadie
,
let
vs
not
continue
in
it
,
that
we
should
come
to
the
Church
,
and
heare
Gods
word
preached
,
and
goe
away
not
beleeuing
it
:
and
come
againe
the
next
day
,
and
then
depart
away
,
as
full
of
vnbeleefe
,
as
before
:
and
thus
from
day
to
day
,
&
so
still
be
of
this
mind
,
that
whatsoeuer
men
say
,
we
will
beleeue
none
but
our selues
,
thinking
that
we
haue
reason
as
well
as
they
,
and
therefore
vnles
we
can
conceiue
it
by
reason
,
we
will
not
admit
it
,
whatsoeuer
they
say
.
For
faith
is
aboue
reason
,
therfore
we
must
beleeue
the
seruants
of
God
in
things
,
whereof
we
can
conceiue
no
reason
:
nay
reason
is
against
faith
,
and
there
is
nothing
in
vs
more
to
hinder
vs
from
beleeuing
,
then
to
harken
to
our
owne
reason
.
And
this
is
that
which
is
so
highly
commended
by
the
spirit
of
God
in
our
father
Abraham
,
And
who
can
by
any
reason
con●eiue
the
truth
of
this
article
of
our
●aith
,
The
resurrection
of
the
bodie
?
●hat
is
,
that
these
very
bodies
of
ours
,
●eeing
turned
into
dust
and
ashes
,
●●e
same
in
euery
part
and
member
●ould
be
raised
vp
againe
.
Some
of
●●e
wiser
sort
of
the
Heathen
did
ac●●owledge
the
immortalitie
of
the
●ule
,
and
that
there
was
a
place
of
●y
for
them
that
liued
well
,
and
of
paine
for
them
that
swarued
from
the
rules
of
right
reason
,
after
death
.
Bu●
that
the
same
bodies
of
men
should
rise
againe
,
they
did
not
so
much
as
once
dreame
of
it
,
because
they
could
not
comprehend
it
by
any
reason●
therefore
in
that
matter
we
must
beleeue
others
aboue
all
reason
.
The
like
is
to
be
saide
of
almes
,
which
hath
a
promise
of
increase
:
so
that
by
giuing
to
the
poore
we
shal●
not
loose
any
thing
,
but
gaine
:
which
is
a
thing
contrarie
to
reason
,
that
th●
more
a
man
should
giue
away
from
himselfe
,
the
more
he
should
inric●
himselfe
:
and
therefore
few
doe
beleeue
it
,
which
maketh
them
couetous
and
hard
hearted
,
and
to
be
wi●●ling
to
depart
from
nothing
,
lea●●
they
should
want
themselues
:
and
●●
specially
to
be
most
hard
hearted
●●●
their
poore
brethren
in
the
times
o●
scarsitie
and
want
,
when
they
shoul●
be
most
liberall
,
and
by
that
meane●
best
prouide
for
themselues
:
which
S.
Paul
was
so
fully
perswaded
of
,
that
he
doth
commend
it
vnto
vs
by
an
excellent
comparison
,
saying
,
THe
2.
degree
of
Thomas
his
vnbeleefe
,
appeares
in
this
;
that
he
wold
not
only
not
beleeue
this
,
being
thus
often
told
him
,
diuers
times
,
&
by
sundrie
credible
persons
,
but
he
will
beleeue
none
but
himselfe
:
for
he
saith
in
plaine
words
,
Except
I
see
in
his
hands
,
the
print
of
the
nayls
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
.
Which
is
,
as
if
he
had
said
;
you
indeed
tel
me
,
that
you
haue
seen
Christ
risen
again
,
&
so
do
diuers
others
;
I
haue
heard
these
things
often
;
but
I
haue
not
yet
seene
him
my selfe
;
what
others
haue
seene
,
that
appertaines
not
vnto
me
,
vnlesse
I
see
him
my selfe
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
.
This
therefore
is
further
to
be
considered
,
because
somtime
it
fals
out
,
that
there
is
good
cause
,
why
we
should
not
beleeue
a
thing
spoken
often
,
&
by
many
.
And
if
they
be
of
any
good
credit
,
though
there
be
no
cause
in
truth
to
suspect
them
,
yet
it
may
seeme
vnto
vs
,
that
there
is
some
:
and
hereupon
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
some
in
their
vnbeleefe
take
exception
against
the
Preachers
,
and
thinke
that
they
haue
some
cause
,
why
they
should
not
beleeue
them
in
the
things
that
they
haue
preached
vnto
them
,
though
in
truth
there
be
none
.
But
yet
to
be
altogether
of
this
mind
,
that
S.
Thomas
was
here
in
this
matter
,
that
we
will
beleeue
none
in
the
world
,
but
our selues
,
that
seemeth
to
be
such
a
thing
as
wanteth
all
colour
of
reason
.
And
yet
thus
vnreasonable
is
vnbeleefe
,
as
we
see
most
clearly
in
this
example
:
for
he
saith
very
peremptorily
,
that
vnlesse
I
my selfe
doe
see
in
his
hands
the
print
of
the
nayles
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
.
He
doth
not
say
,
vnles
better
men
then
you
doe
tell
me
so
;
or
vnles
I
heare
more
in
number
;
or
vnles
I
heare
better
reason
for
this
matter
,
then
I
doe
yet
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
:
but
if
all
men
in
the
world
tell
me
of
it
neuer
so
often
,
vnles
I
see
him
mine
owne
selfe
,
I
will
beleeue
none
of
them
:
which
is
,
as
if
he
had
said
,
In
this
case
I
will
beleeue
my selfe
,
and
no
bodie
els
.
We
see
then
whether
vnbeleefe
will
driue
vs
,
if
we
giue
place
to
it
,
euen
that
we
shall
beleeue
none
but
our selues
.
And
indeede
so
it
is
in
all
sorts
,
in
whome
it
raigneth
,
they
will
beleeue
no
more
from
any
man
,
then
they
can
perswade
themselues
by
their
owne
reason
:
vnto
that
they
obstinatly
sticke
against
all
men
:
and
so
are
not
ashamed
to
say
,
I
will
beleeue
none
of
you
all
;
I
will
beleeue
mine
owne
selfe
,
and
further
I
will
not
be
lead
by
any
:
no
man
shall
draw
me
to
●eleeue
that
,
which
mine
owne
reason
tells
me
not
.
And
thus
they
so
much
abound
in
their
owne
sense
through
vnbeleefe
,
that
they
perswade
themselues
,
that
they
haue
more
reason
for
that
they
hold
,
then
all
other
men
haue
for
the
contrarie
.
And
so
let
men
say
neuer
so
much
against
that
,
which
they
haue
conceited
themselues
,
they
stil
imagine
,
that
they
haue
some
thing
to
say
against
it
,
and
some
reason
,
why
they
should
not
beleeue
them
.
And
this
is
most
true
,
not
onely
in
matters
of
faith
,
but
for
life
and
conuersation
:
which
is
the
cause
,
both
that
Papists
and
other
heretikes
are
so
obstinately
addicted
to
their
errors
;
and
also
wicked
men
so
altogether
wedded
vnto
their
sinnes
;
that
neither
the
one
,
nor
the
other
can
be
reclaimed
from
them
.
And
therefore
when
men
haue
saide
what
they
can
,
they
will
not
giue
them
ouer
,
for
they
haue
determined
to
beleeue
none
but
themselues
:
&
of
this
minde
will
they
be
,
till
God
ridde
them
of
their
vnbeleefe
:
and
then
the
saying
of
Christ
shal
be
verified
vpon
them
,
And
that
we
might
come
vnto
this
,
we
are
to
remember
,
that
true
faith
yeildes
vnto
the
bare
word
o●
God
against
our
owne
reason
;
and
so
giueth
glory
vnto
God
,
The
like
may
be
saide
of
Noah
concerning
the
building
of
the
Arke
,
of
whom
it
is
said
;
But
on
the
otherside
vnbeleefe
,
which
is
contrarie
vnto
faith
,
that
resteth
wholly
and
onely
vpon
reason
;
in
so
much
that
vnlesse
they
can
see
some
reason
,
how
that
may
be
done
,
that
is
saide
,
and
promised
,
they
will
not
beleeue
it
,
they
thinke
it
impossible
,
they
reiect
it
as
an
vnreasonable
thing
.
A
most
liuely
patterne
whereof
we
haue
in
that
great
man
of
Samaria
,
in
the
daies
of
Ahab
king
of
Israel
:
at
what
time
by
reason
of
the
siege
of
the
king
of
Aram
,
there
was
such
an
extreame
famine
,
that
women
did
eate
their
owne
children
.
The
whole
world
is
full
of
this
vnbeleefe
,
that
they
will
beleeue
no
more
then
their
owne
reason
perswades
them
vnto
:
and
that
that
goeth
against
their
reason
they
are
readie
to
crosse
it
,
though
it
be
neuer
so
true
.
For
how
many
are
there
,
that
haue
set
downe
with
themselues
,
that
whatsoeuer
the
Preachers
say
,
they
haue
determined
a
course
,
which
they
thinke
,
they
haue
good
reason
for
:
in
that
they
minde
to
continue
,
beyond
that
they
will
not
goe
;
they
are
so
setled
,
that
out
of
it
,
they
will
not
be
remooued
;
they
hope
they
are
not
now
to
learne
,
they
are
too
old
to
be
taught
;
they
trust
that
they
haue
not
liued
so
long
for
nothing
;
they
haue
wit
and
reason
as
well
as
other
men
;
and
so
that
that
they
haue
conceiued
they
will
sticke
vnto
,
that
course
they
haue
entred
into
,
they
purpose
to
continue
in
,
and
in
that
they
minde
to
liue
and
die
;
and
this
course
they
hold
for
doctrine
both
of
faith
and
manners
,
for
duties
to
God
and
to
men
;
and
thus
they
will
beleeue
none
but
themselues
,
and
their
owne
reason
.
And
thus
though
they
come
to
the
Church
from
day
to
day
,
they
come
not
to
learne
any
thing
,
they
haue
determined
beforehand
what
they
minde
to
doe
.
They
will
learne
of
no
man
,
they
can
teach
themselues
sufficiently
.
Whereupon
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
though
they
daily
heare
their
sinnes
rebuked
,
they
will
amend
nothing
;
and
the
iudgements
of
God
denounced
against
them
,
they
will
beleeue
nothing
:
they
thinke
,
they
haue
better
reason
for
their
doings
,
then
any
man
can
haue
against
them
.
And
if
they
be
called
vpon
to
increase
in
knowledge
and
godlines
,
and
so
to
goe
on
to
perfection
;
they
stand
still
at
a
stay
,
and
thinke
it
not
necessarie
;
they
like
well
of
their
owne
doings
,
and
no
man
shall
remooue
them
from
them
,
they
will
beleeue
none
but
themselues
:
vnlesse
I
see
reason
for
it
mine
owne
selfe
,
I
will
not
beleeue
you
.
Thus
through
vnbeleefe
the
word
is
choaked
in
the
greatest
part
of
the
hearers
,
as
our
Sauiour
Christ
sheweth
in
the
parable
of
the
seede
:
and
it
profiteth
them
not
one
whit
,
no
more
then
it
did
the
Iewes
,
when
it
was
preached
vnto
them
,
because
it
was
not
mixed
with
faith
in
them
that
heard
it
.
Let
vs
labour
to
see
this
vnbeleefe
in
our selues
in
any
measure
,
that
we
haue
it
,
and
be
sorie
for
it
,
and
striue
against
it
:
and
pray
God
to
forgiue
vs
,
and
helpe
vs
.
And
that
we
might
this
way
be
holpen
,
let
vs
not
be
too
much
addicted
to
our
reason
,
&
measure
things
by
it
:
for
our
naturall
reason
beeing
corrupt
,
it
doth
not
onely
not
further
vs
vnto
faith
,
but
doth
somtimes
hinder
vs
from
it
;
not
onely
because
faith
is
of
things
aboue
reason
,
but
contrary
vnto
it
.
Therefore
in
the
matter
of
our
saluation
we
must
be
so
farre
from
being
addicted
to
our
owne
will
and
reason
,
as
that
we
must
vtterly
deny
it
,
that
we
might
beleeue
:
as
the
Apostle
Saint
Thomas
should
haue
done
here
:
&
haue
said
,
though
this
that
you
tell
me
be
a
matter
impossible
in
mine
vnderstanding
and
reason
,
and
I
cannot
possibly
conceiue
how
it
should
be
:
yet
because
so
many
of
you
beeing
of
conscience
to
speake
the
truth
,
I
beleeue
it
.
And
thus
did
Abraham
concerning
the
promise
,
which
God
had
made
vnto
him
:
Therefore
first
of
all
let
vs
pray
to
God
to
sanctifie
our
reason
,
and
to
inlighten
it
by
his
holy
spirit
,
that
we
may
be
capable
of
the
mysteries
of
word
of
God
:
A
Third
degree
of
the
vnbeleefe
of
S.
Thomas
appeareth
in
this
,
that
he
saith
,
Except
I
see
in
his
hands
the
print
of
the
nailes
,
and
put
my
finger
into
the
print
of
the
nailes
,
and
put
my
hand
into
his
side
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
.
For
,
as
though
it
had
not
bene
sufficient
that
he
had
sayd
,
that
he
would
beleeue
none
of
them
;
nor
any
other
that
should
tell
him
as
much
as
they
did
:
he
would
beleeue
none
but
himselfe
:
he
further
addeth
,
that
vnles
he
might
see
in
his
hands
and
feete
the
print
of
the
nailes
,
and
put
in
his
finger
into
them
,
he
would
not
beleeue
it
.
Which
is
as
if
he
had
saide
,
if
I
may
not
onely
see
himselfe
,
as
you
say
you
haue
done
:
but
may
be
sure
of
it
,
and
therefore
may
also
see
in
his
body
these
markes
,
that
he
had
on
the
crosse
,
and
especially
if
I
may
come
so
neere
vnto
him
,
that
I
may
feele
them
,
and
put
my
finger
into
them
,
I
will
beleeue
it
;
otherwise
I
will
not
.
So
that
he
will
no
further
beleeue
,
for
all
their
sayings
then
his
outward
senses
shall
perswade
him
;
and
namely
,
his
sight
and
feeling
:
if
I
may
see
and
feele
,
I
will
beleeue
,
and
till
then
I
will
not
beleeue
.
O
wonderfull
infidelitie
:
especially
in
one
that
was
so
neere
Christ
,
and
had
beene
so
long
time
conuersant
with
him
.
For
what
if
Christ
had
neuer
appeared
vnto
him
,
nor
vnto
any
other
of
the
Apostles
?
was
it
not
sufficient
vnto
them
,
that
he
had
often
before
in
their
hearing
saide
;
that
he
should
be
put
to
death
,
Besides
,
if
he
were
of
that
minde
,
and
thought
that
he
had
good
reason
for
it
,
that
he
would
not
beleeue
,
vnles
he
did
thus
see
&
feele
him
why
may
not
other
be
of
the
same
minde
too
?
and
so
Christ
should
haue
remained
vpon
the
earth
vnto
this
day
,
and
not
haue
ascended
into
heauen
:
or
els
often
since
he
should
haue
descended
to
shew
himselfe
to
those
that
should
beleeue
:
if
none
would
beleeue
further
then
they
should
see
and
feele
.
Moreouer
after
that
he
had
thus
seen
him
and
felt
him
himselfe
,
would
he
not
haue
thought
it
strange
,
if
others
would
not
haue
beleeued
him
,
when
he
preached
vnto
them
the
resurrection
of
Christ
?
why
then
doth
he
make
such
a
straight
rule
to
himselfe
?
Surely
that
in
him
we
might
see
a
patterne
of
that
great
weaknes
that
is
in
vs
,
and
how
full
of
vnbeleefe
we
be
:
and
a
liuely
example
of
the
great
mercie
of
Christ
in
bearing
with
sinners
in
the
same
:
and
by
all
meanes
putting
them
out
of
the
same
in
time
,
that
they
might
be
saued
.
And
why
doth
he
say
thus
rather
then
any
thing
else
,
Except
I
may
see
and
feele
,
&c.
Are
these
two
senses
such
sure
iudges
of
the
truth
,
that
they
cannot
be
deceiued
?
May
not
a
man
thinke
,
that
he
seeth
and
feeleth
that
,
which
he
doth
not
?
and
may
he
not
againe
doubt
,
whether
he
seeeth
and
feeleth
that
,
which
indeede
he
doth
?
How
came
it
to
passe
that
when
Elisha
had
caused
water
to
come
miraculously
into
a
vally
of
the
wildernes
,
for
the
Kings
of
Israel
,
of
Iudah
,
and
of
Edom
,
that
the
Moabites
when
as
earely
in
the
morning
the
sunne
rose
vpon
the
water
,
and
they
saw
the
water
as
redde
as
blood
ouer
against
them
;
they
said
,
This
is
blood
:
the
kings
are
surely
slaine
,
and
one
hath
smitten
an
other
:
but
when
they
came
to
the
host
of
Israel
they
found
it
otherwise
.
And
as
the
sight
of
these
men
deceiued
them
,
so
did
the
feeling
of
Isaac
deceiue
him
in
his
old
age
.
For
his
sonne
Iaakob
comming
vnto
him
in
the
person
and
habite
of
his
elder
brother
Esau
to
receiue
the
blessing
:
when
he
felt
the
roughnes
of
his
necke
and
hands
,
which
Rebekah
had
couered
wi●h
skinnes
,
he
iudged
by
his
feeling
that
it
was
Esau
.
For
he
said
,
Come
neere
my
sonne
,
that
I
may
feele
thee
,
whether
thou
be
my
sonne
Esau
or
no
;
&
when
he
had
felt
him
he
said
,
The
hands
are
the
hands
of
Esau
.
Thus
wee
see
that
sight
and
feeling
may
easily
be
deceiued
:
and
yet
this
is
the
nature
of
vnbeleefe
,
to
giue
credit
more
vnto
these
deceiueable
senses
,
then
to
many
other
things
,
that
are
most
sure
and
certaine
.
And
many
men
in
matters
of
faith
will
almost
beleeue
nothing
,
vntill
such
time
,
as
they
see
and
feele
them
:
and
therefore
when
they
are
taught
what
in
heauen
is
prepared
for
them
that
serue
God
;
what
in
hell
for
them
that
disobey
him
:
they
are
readie
to
say
,
who
hath
seen
them
?
giuing
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
they
will
not
beleeue
them
,
vntill
they
either
see
them
,
or
feele
them
themselues
.
Was
not
this
vnbeleefe
vniuersally
spread
ouer
the
face
of
the
whole
world
before
the
flood
,
when
Noah
the
pr●●cher
of
righteosnes
declared
vnto
th●
the
iudgment
of
God
,
that
should
come
vpon
them
for
their
sinnes
;
&
namly
,
that
God
would
bring
a
flood
of
waters
vpon
the
earth
to
destroy
all
flesh
wherin
was
the
breath
of
life
vnder
the
heauen
,
because
all
flesh
had
corrupted
his
way
,
and
the
earth
was
filled
with
cruelty
;
and
thus
he
continued
preaching
an
hundred
&
twentie
yeares
:
But
none
of
them
beleeued
it
though
they
saw
him
also
all
this
while
preparing
the
Arke
for
the
sauing
of
himselfe
and
his
family
.
And
therefore
they
continued
still
in
their
impenitencie
,
and
in
their
sinnes
,
till
the
flood
came
and
tooke
them
all
away
.
And
so
they
said
to
Noah
,
some
in
their
thoghts
,
some
in
their
words
,
as
Thomas
did
here
in
an
other
case
to
the
Apostles
:
You
say
that
the
world
shal
be
drowned
,
but
except
we
see
the
raine
come
in
such
measure
,
and
feele
it
,
we
will
not
beleeue
it
.
And
was
not
the
like
infidelity
afterwards
in
all
the
men
of
Sodom
where
iust
Lot
liued
,
and
was
vexed
with
their
vncleanely
conuersation
:
for
which
he
denounced
Gods
iudgement
against
them
:
and
at
the
last
by
speciall
reuelation
of
the
Angels
that
were
sent
vnto
them
,
he
saide
vnto
his
sonnes
in
law
which
had
maried
his
daughters
,
Arise
,
go
out
of
this
place
,
for
the
Lord
wil
destroy
this
citie
;
but
he
seemed
to
his
sonnes
in
law
as
though
he
had
mocked
.
Thus
they
would
not
beleeue
it
,
because
they
saw
it
not
,
nor
any
likelihood
of
it
,
till
fire
and
brimstone
came
downe
from
heauen
,
and
fell
vpon
them
,
and
consumed
them
.
And
so
they
being
condemned
,
and
the
citie
ouerthrowne
,
they
were
made
an
example
vnto
them
that
after
should
liue
vngodly
,
and
which
would
not
beleeue
the
truth
of
Gods
iudgements
against
sinne
in
the
mouthes
of
his
seruants
any
further
then
they
shall
see
and
feele
themselues
.
Thus
we
see
how
common
this
is
among
all
vnbeleeuers
,
so
farre
as
infidelitie
preuaileth
with
them
,
that
they
will
beleeue
nothing
that
is
threatned
against
sinne
any
further
,
then
they
see
and
feele
it
themselues
.
When
in
the
famin
of
Samaria
there
was
exceeding
great
plentie
against
the
next
day
promised
by
Elisha
the
Prophet
,
did
not
one
of
the
Princes
say
;
when
I
see
it
,
I
will
beleeue
it
,
and
not
before
.
Whereupon
this
answere
was
giuen
vnto
him
,
Beholde
,
thou
shalt
see
it
with
thine
eies
,
but
thou
shalt
not
eate
thereof
.
And
so
vnbeleefe
discredits
not
only
the
threatnings
,
but
the
promises
,
except
they
can
see
them
with
their
eies
,
and
feele
them
with
their
hands
:
of
which
we
shall
speake
more
afterwards
.
Doth
not
S.
Peter
say
,
that
there
shal
come
mockers
in
these
last
daies
,
which
will
walke
after
their
lust
,
and
say
,
where
is
the
promise
of
his
comming
?
for
since
the
fathers
died
,
all
things
continue
alike
from
the
beginning
of
the
creation
.
Wherein
he
sheweth
how
men
through
vnbeleef
will
make
a
mocke
of
Christs
second
comming
,
&
of
the
end
of
the
world
,
and
of
the
day
of
iudgement
:
because
with
their
eyes
they
doe
not
see
any
such
thing
likely
to
come
to
passe
:
when
they
shall
see
some
great
alteration
in
heauen
&
in
earth
bending
that
way
,
they
will
beleeue
it
,
and
no
sooner
,
nor
any
further
.
And
we
finde
by
experience
the
truth
of
this
daily
in
many
,
that
they
will
beleeue
nothing
of
this
matter
any
further
,
then
they
can
see
themselues
.
And
our
Sauiour
Christ
in
the
Gospel
hath
foretold
,
and
forewarned
vs
of
this
,
when
as
he
saith
:
As
it
was
in
the
dayes
of
Noah
,
Likewise
also
,
as
it
was
in
the
daies
of
Lot
,
they
eate
,
they
dranke
,
they
planted
,
they
built
:
but
in
the
day
that
Lot
went
out
of
Sodom
,
it
rained
fire
and
brimstone
from
heauen
,
and
destroyed
them
all
:
after
these
insamples
shall
it
be
,
when
the
sonne
of
man
shall
be
reuealed
:
that
is
,
not
onely
it
shall
come
suddenly
and
all
things
shall
continue
in
their
ordinarie
course
:
but
men
shall
then
giue
themselues
to
all
pleasure
and
worldlines
:
and
shall
neither
beleeue
it
,
nor
thinke
of
it
,
till
it
come
:
as
the
men
of
the
old
world
did
not
:
of
whome
the
Euangelist
S.
Matthew
saith
,
that
they
knew
nothing
,
till
the
flood
came
and
tooke
them
all
away
:
so
shal
also
the
comming
of
the
sonne
of
man
be
.
They
knew
nothing
,
not
that
they
had
not
heard
of
it
,
for
Noah
did
preach
vnto
them
an
120.
yeares
before
:
but
they
did
not
beleeue
it
,
nor
regard
it
,
because
they
saw
it
not
:
euen
so
shall
it
be
towards
the
end
of
the
world
:
though
they
haue
heard
of
these
things
an
hundred
times
,
yet
they
wil
know
nothing
til
they
see
it
.
And
not
onely
this
sinne
raigneth
in
the
wicked
,
that
they
will
beleeue
no
more
of
the
promises
and
threatnings
;
of
the
ioyes
of
heauen
,
&
pains
of
hell
,
then
they
can
see
&
feele
themselues
:
and
so
because
they
do
neither
of
them
yet
,
they
will
beleeue
none
of
them
;
let
men
say
what
they
will
,
and
neuer
so
long
:
and
so
they
goe
on
in
their
sinnes
,
and
liue
thereafter
:
which
is
greatly
to
be
lamented
.
But
also
if
we
will
examine
our selues
,
&
other
men
,
we
shall
finde
,
that
this
was
in
our selues
,
and
in
them
,
til●
the
Lord
had
mercie
vpon
vs
.
That
though
we
had
often
heard
that
God
was
iust
,
and
would
punish
sinne
,
ye●
we
presumed
otherwise
,
and
did
not
beleeue
it
,
because
we
escaped
a
while
in
our
sinnes
,
and
did
not
see
and
feele
the
truth
of
it
in
our selues
:
and
by
that
meanes
went
on
,
and
were
hardened
in
our
sinnes
.
And
so
that
was
verified
in
vs
,
as
well
as
in
others
,
which
the
Lord
complaineth
●f
by
his
Prophet
;
And
thus
not
only
before
our
cal●●ng
,
infidelity
did
wholly
beare
●●e
sway
in
vs
:
but
also
since
that
time
great
remnant
of
it
still
remaineth
〈◊〉
vs
:
so
that
in
many
things
we
will
●eleeue
no
further
,
then
we
see
,
and
●ele
,
especially
in
the
time
of
temp●●ion
:
for
if
we
be
in
any
great
trou●●e
,
And
this
vnbeleefe
of
ours
is
〈◊〉
much
the
more
dangerous
and
th●
more
deepely
rooted
in
vs
,
becau●●
though
we
haue
had
experience
〈◊〉
Gods
goodnes
towards
our selues
i●●
time
past
,
wherein
we
may
remember
how
he
hath
holpen
and
deliuered
vs
beyond
all
that
we
could
foresee
,
or
haue
any
hope
of
:
yet
at
another
time
we
trust
him
and
his
worde
,
no
further
then
we
can
see
our selues
.
Thus
the
people
of
Israel
doubted
of
the
power
of
God
,
whether
he
would
giue
them
flesh
in
the
wildernes
according
to
their
desire
,
though
they
●ad
seene
his
power
before
in
giuing
them
water
out
of
the
hard
rock
:
wherof
Dauid
speaketh
after
this
manner
,
They
temped
God
in
their
hearts
,
And
we
our selues
are
subiect
to
the
like
,
not
onely
in
these
outward
things
,
and
are
therein
too
much
mislead
,
because
we
relie
wholly
vpon
our
outward
senses
:
but
also
in
the
matter
of
our
saluation
,
therein
our
vnbeleefe
doth
especially
shew
it selfe
,
so
that
we
can
hardly
or
not
at
all
beleeue
any
thing
beyonde
our
sense
and
feeling
.
For
when
we
are
humbled
vnder
the
weighty
hand
of
God
with
the
sight
of
our
corruption
and
sinnes
,
and
haue
the
feeling
of
Gods
wrath
vpon
vs
for
them
in
any
measure
:
them
though
we
heare
the
confortable
promises
of
the
gospel
made
to
all
that
vnfainedly
turne
from
them
:
And
truly
as
the
Deuill
did
by
Gods
permission
thus
farre
preuaile
with
the
Apostle
S.
Thomas
that
he
was
brought
to
this
straight
,
that
without
sight
and
feeling
he
would
not
beleeue
:
So
with
this
one
temptation
of
his
he
hath
so
mightily
preuailed
against
many
of
the
best
seruants
of
god
,
that
he
hath
brought
them
to
a
very
low
ebbe
,
euen
almost
to
their
wits
ende
.
For
besides
that
he
hath
driuen
them
to
this
extremitie
,
which
is
very
great
,
that
they
wil
beleeue
no
more
of
Gods
fauour
towards
them
,
then
they
can
see
and
feele
in
themselues
:
he
hath
gained
this
also
at
their
hands
,
which
is
much
more
:
that
because
they
haue
no
feeling
,
therefore
they
say
they
haue
no
faith
:
as
though
these
two
were
both
one
,
feeling
and
faith
;
or
as
though
they
were
alwaies
necessarily
ioyned
together
.
And
hereupon
haue
come
the
great
complaints
and
outcries
,
which
some
of
them
haue
made
against
themselues
,
in
the
time
of
their
trouble
:
and
not
onely
of
those
,
who
haue
grosly
&
apparantly
fallen
into
some
sinne
,
and
therefore
there
was
some
manifest
cause
of
it
:
but
of
those
also
which
haue
liued
blamelesly
,
neither
haue
beene
tainted
with
any
great
sinne
:
And
yet
both
of
them
in
the
time
of
their
temptation
haue
vttered
many
bitter
words
against
themselues
;
as
that
they
are
altogether
out
of
the
fauour
of
God
;
that
they
are
not
in
the
number
of
them
that
shall
be
saued
;
they
haue
no
part
in
Christ
;
they
are
none
of
Gods
children
,
and
such
like
.
And
why
so
?
for
say
they
,
they
haue
no
sight
and
feeling
of
the
fauour
of
God
in
themselues
,
and
therefore
they
haue
no
faith
,
neither
can
haue
:
for
except
they
haue
some
feeling
in
their
hearts
,
they
cannot
beleeue
.
And
this
temptation
hath
lien
vpon
the
conscience
of
some
more
heauily
,
and
of
others
lesse
:
vpon
some
longer
,
vpon
others
shorter
time
:
euen
as
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
either
in
wisdome
to
trie
the
one
,
or
in
mercie
to
succour
the
other
.
This
was
that
that
did
so
oppresse
Dauid
,
as
appeareth
in
many
Psalmes
,
that
he
was
almost
in
despaire
of
himselfe
:
when
he
said
,
Psalme
of
remembrance
:
But
that
we
may
arme
our selues
sufficiently
against
this
grieuous
temptation
,
and
comfortably
support
our selues
,
when
we
shall
fall
into
it
;
we
must
consider
that
faith
and
feeling
are
not
onely
not
all
one
,
nor
alwaies
ioyned
together
:
but
also
that
they
are
many
times
seuered
in
the
children
of
God
:
so
that
there
is
faith
,
where
there
is
not
,
nor
can
be
any
present
feeling
:
yea
,
that
the
greatest
faith
sometimes
is
,
where
there
is
no
feeling
at
all
.
And
to
this
ende
we
must
remember
,
what
the
Apostle
saith
of
the
nature
of
faith
,
It
is
the
ground
of
things
which
are
hoped
for
,
and
the
euidence
of
things
,
which
are
not
seene
.
Where
he
saith
,
that
faith
is
of
such
things
,
as
we
see
not
,
and
of
those
things
which
are
but
hoped
for
,
and
we
as
yet
haue
not
the
present
possession
and
feeling
of
them
,
and
yet
we
beleeue
them
.
And
this
he
prooueth
by
most
excellent
examples
,
when
as
first
of
all
he
addeth
,
Through
faith
we
vnderstand
,
The
third
example
is
of
Sarah
the
mother
of
vs
all
:
of
whome
it
is
said
,
that
through
faith
shee
receiued
strength
to
conceiue
seede
,
And
so
did
Abraham
,
of
whome
it
is
written
,
Thus
both
Abraham
and
Sarah
beleeued
that
,
which
they
could
haue
no
feeling
of
in
themselues
:
and
so
must
all
the
sonnes
of
Abraham
,
and
daughters
of
Sarah
.
And
thus
to
doe
is
not
onely
faith
,
but
the
greatest
faith
.
For
if
they
could
haue
seen
how
this
might
haue
beene
done
:
and
haue
felt
such
strength
in
their
bodies
,
that
they
might
perceiue
it
very
likely
by
the
course
of
nature
;
then
it
had
beene
no
great
matter
to
beleeue
it
:
nay
it
had
beene
great
infidelitie
not
to
beleeue
it
.
So
for
vs
to
beleeue
the
promises
of
God
,
when
we
may
see
and
feele
,
how
they
may
be
performed
,
that
is
a
matter
of
no
moment
:
but
when
all
things
go
against
them
,
&
we
haue
no
sight
or
feeling
at
all
in
our selues
,
of
that
that
is
said
vnto
vs
:
then
to
beleeue
God
,
and
to
giue
this
glory
vnto
him
,
that
he
is
able
to
performe
it
,
is
a
matter
of
great
faith
.
And
therefore
here
it
is
said
of
Abraham
,
not
onely
that
he
beleeued
,
but
that
he
was
not
weake
in
faith
:
And
this
is
that
,
which
was
in
our
Sauiour
Christ
also
:
who
though
he
did
alwaies
put
his
trust
in
his
father
,
and
was
sure
that
he
loued
him
:
and
his
faith
this
way
was
as
pretious
and
pure
as
gold
:
yet
it
did
most
of
all
shew
it selfe
in
his
full
strength
,
when
he
came
to
suffer
vpon
the
crosse
:
when
it
was
so
many
waies
assaulted
,
that
contrary
to
all
sense
and
feeling
he
remained
constant
,
and
so
ouercame
:
to
succour
all
those
,
that
shall
be
oppressed
with
the
temptations
of
vnbeleefe
,
because
they
haue
no
feeling
.
For
when
things
did
lie
so
heauie
vpon
him
,
he
beeing
then
to
beare
all
our
sinnes
and
corruptions
,
and
in
them
to
appeare
before
God
his
father
,
and
to
answer
for
them
;
yea
,
to
satisfie
his
wrath
by
induring
the
full
punishment
of
them
:
first
of
all
it
is
written
of
him
,
that
he
began
to
waxe
sorowfull
,
And
at
the
last
when
he
was
vpon
the
crosse
,
he
was
further
assaulted
with
temptations
from
the
speeches
of
men
,
euen
his
enemies
,
which
reuiled
him
,
Therefore
his
faith
was
now
the
greatest
,
as
it
was
meete
it
should
be
,
to
incounter
and
ouercome
so
many
and
great
temptations
:
when
as
contrarie
to
all
these
things
,
which
he
saw
and
felt
,
he
not
only
praied
most
earnestly
vnto
his
father
,
and
continued
therein
,
praying
three
times
the
same
words
,
with
such
feruencie
of
spirit
,
that
beeing
vpon
the
cold
ground
,
he
sweat
water
and
blood
:
and
he
praied
in
faith
;
And
thus
no
doubt
the
seruants
of
God
in
their
seuerall
afflictions
of
body
and
mind
,
and
otherwise
are
in
measure
made
like
vnto
Christ
:
when
as
hauing
nothing
,
that
by
any
sight
or
feeling
,
inward
or
outward
,
might
minister
vnto
them
any
confort
,
and
therefore
in
such
cases
they
are
greatly
discouraged
and
cast
downe
in
themselues
;
yet
they
holde
out
constantly
in
them
to
the
end
:
then
the
more
like
they
are
vnto
Christ
in
his
sufferings
,
the
more
like
shall
they
be
vnto
him
in
his
glory
.
For
then
is
their
faith
the
greatest
,
when
in
this
forlone
estate
of
theirs
(
as
it
may
seeme
)
they
can
pray
vnto
God
as
Christ
did
,
and
seeke
for
all
helpe
and
comfort
from
him
:
and
neuer
leaue
praying
till
God
heare
them
,
as
Christ
continued
in
his
prayer
,
till
an
Angel
was
sent
vnto
him
.
And
in
the
meane
time
whatsoeuer
becomes
of
them
,
they
with
a
quiet
and
meeke
spirit
resigne
vp
themselues
wholly
to
his
blessed
will
,
being
contented
whatsoeuer
they
desire
,
that
not
their
owne
,
but
Gods
will
may
take
place
:
as
Christ
did
,
when
he
said
,
Father
not
mine
,
but
thy
will
be
done
.
And
if
they
doe
so
,
that
that
affliction
present
,
of
what
nature
and
kind
soeuer
,
shall
make
an
end
of
them
,
they
can
quietly
and
peaceably
commend
their
soules
and
bodies
,
euen
themselues
wholly
liuing
and
dying
into
his
blessed
hands
;
as
Christ
did
also
vpon
the
crosse
,
when
he
was
readie
to
giue
vp
the
ghost
:
beeing
perswaded
,
that
nothing
euer
perished
that
was
commited
vnto
his
custodie
:
according
as
he
saith
himselfe
,
Those
that
thou
gauest
me
,
And
we
haue
a
worthy
example
of
the
truth
of
this
in
one
of
the
Martyrs
,
of
our
owne
country
,
and
in
the
memory
of
man
,
as
it
is
largely
set
out
by
M.
Foxe
in
his
laborious
worke
of
the
Acts
and
Monuments
of
the
Church
.
The
effect
of
which
storie
shortly
is
this
:
M.
Robert
Glouer
of
Couentry
gentl.
and
Master
of
Artes
in
Cambridge
,
was
in
the
raigne
of
Q.
Mary
,
with
many
the
seruants
of
God
by
the
malicious
practises
of
the
Papists
apprehended
,
&
brought
before
the
Bishop
of
the
Diocesse
for
his
faith
and
religion
,
and
after
examination
he
was
sent
to
prison
:
where
he
receiued
great
comfort
from
the
Lord
from
time
to
time
;
&
as
his
afflictions
did
increase
,
so
did
the
comforts
of
the
Lord
abound
;
till
at
the
last
by
the
permission
of
God
,
for
his
further
triall
and
comfort
,
the
Deuill
did
greatly
assault
him
in
prison
by
the
consideration
of
his
vnworthines
to
be
counted
in
the
number
of
those
,
that
should
suffer
for
Christs
sake
:
which
temptation
of
the
enemie
,
though
he
did
constantly
resist
at
the
first
;
yet
after
that
he
was
condemned
to
death
by
the
Bishop
,
and
was
at
the
point
to
be
deliuered
out
of
this
world
,
it
so
happened
,
that
two
or
three
daies
before
the
time
of
his
burning
,
his
heart
being
lumpish
,
and
destitute
of
all
spirituall
consolation
,
and
feeling
of
gods
fauour
,
he
felt
in
himselfe
no
aptnes
or
willingnes
,
but
rather
an
heauines
and
dulnes
of
spirit
,
full
of
much
discomfort
to
beare
that
bitter
crosse
of
Martyrdome
,
readie
now
to
be
laid
vpon
him
.
Whereupon
he
fearing
himselfe
,
least
the
Lord
had
vtterly
withdrawn
his
woonted
fauour
from
him
,
made
his
moane
to
one
M.
Austen
Bernher
a
minister
,
&
a
familiar
friend
of
his
:
signifying
vnto
him
,
how
earnestly
he
had
praied
day
and
night
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
yet
could
receiue
no
motion
,
nor
sense
of
any
comfort
from
him
.
Vnto
whome
the
said
Austen
answering
againe
,
willed
and
desired
him
patiently
to
wait
the
Lords
pleasure
,
and
howsoeuer
his
present
feeling
was
,
yet
seeing
his
cause
was
iust
and
true
,
he
exhorted
him
constantly
to
sticke
to
the
same
,
and
play
the
man
:
nothing
misdoubting
,
but
the
Lord
in
time
would
visit
him
,
and
satisfie
his
desire
with
plentie
of
consolation
.
Whereof
(
he
saide
)
he
was
right
certen
and
sure
,
and
therefore
desired
him
,
whensoeuer
any
such
feeling
of
Gods
heauenly
mercies
should
begin
to
touch
his
heart
,
that
then
he
would
shew
some
signification
thereof
,
whereby
he
might
witnesse
with
him
the
same
:
and
so
departed
from
him
.
The
next
day
,
when
the
time
came
of
his
martyrdome
,
as
he
was
going
to
the
place
,
and
was
now
come
to
the
sight
of
the
stake
:
although
all
the
night
before
praying
earnestly
to
God
for
strength
and
courage
,
hee
could
finde
none
,
neither
had
any
sight
or
taste
of
the
fauour
of
God
in
himselfe
,
sodenly
he
was
so
mightily
replenished
with
Gods
holy
comfort
,
&
heauenly
ioyes
,
that
he
could
not
smother
it
in
himselfe
,
but
cried
out
clapping
his
hands
to
Austen
,
and
saying
on
this
wise
,
Austen
,
he
is
come
,
he
is
come
,
&c.
and
that
with
such
ioy
and
alacritie
,
as
one
seeming
rather
to
be
risen
from
some
deadly
daunger
,
to
libertie
of
life
,
then
one
passing
out
of
this
world
by
any
pains
of
death
.
Here
we
see
that
great
was
his
faith
,
when
he
was
willing
to
giue
his
bodie
to
be
burnt
for
the
testimonie
of
Christ
,
and
was
now
going
to
the
stake
to
that
ende
,
though
he
had
no
feeling
of
Gods
fauour
then
by
any
ioyes
that
he
felt
in
himselfe
.
He
could
neuer
haue
suffered
thus
for
the
truth
,
if
he
had
no
faith
:
if
then
he
had
died
in
this
case
without
the
sense
of
any
speciall
comfort
,
he
must
needs
haue
died
in
the
faith
of
Christ
for
which
he
did
suffer
:
and
so
hee
should
haue
had
faith
,
yea
very
great
faith
,
not
onely
liuing
,
but
dying
without
any
sense
or
feeling
.
But
I
will
come
vnto
an
other
example
,
which
though
it
be
far
more
ancient
in
time
,
yet
is
better
knowne
vnto
vs
,
as
being
recorded
in
the
holy
Scripture
.
The
patience
of
Iob
as
it
is
set
downe
as
a
patterne
,
and
commended
to
all
men
to
follow
,
so
none
can
doubt
of
his
faith
also
,
but
that
it
was
very
great
:
When
he
is
thus
numbred
among
the
faithfullest
men
that
haue
liued
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth
.
When
the
land
sinneth
against
me
by
committing
a
trespase
,
Now
when
all
these
things
came
vpon
him
at
once
,
whereby
his
estate
was
more
miserable
,
then
I
haue
expressed
,
or
you
are
able
to
conceiue
,
what
sense
and
feeling
could
he
possibly
haue
of
Gods
fauour
,
either
inward
or
outward
,
when
all
things
thus
went
against
him
?
yet
now
his
faith
was
at
the
highest
,
and
did
shew
it selfe
in
the
greatest
measure
,
when
he
vttered
this
most
excellent
saying
,
Loe
,
Thus
then
we
ought
to
be
so
farre
from
beeing
discouraged
in
our selues
for
want
of
the
sight
and
feeling
of
inward
comforts
,
as
though
therefore
wee
had
no
faith
;
as
that
when
they
shall
be
altogether
taken
from
vs
for
a
while
,
though
very
long
,
and
many
yeares
:
yet
if
we
can
then
hold
out
in
a
godly
life
,
and
not
giue
ouer
a
good
conscience
,
as
Iob
did
;
and
if
we
still
call
vpon
the
name
of
God
,
and
stay
vpon
his
promises
●n
life
and
death
,
though
we
doe
not
●et
inioy
them
:
all
the
world
shall
●hen
witnesse
for
vs
,
that
our
faith
is
exceeding
great
,
though
wee
our selues
be
not
able
to
see
it
,
neither
can
be
perswaded
of
it
.
For
as
when
the
sunne
shineth
most
clearely
,
and
men
doe
see
the
brightnes
of
it
,
and
doe
feele
the
scortching
heate
of
it
,
then
it
is
an
easie
matter
to
beleeue
,
and
to
say
confidently
,
there
is
a
sunne
in
the
firmament
:
euen
children
and
those
that
are
of
meane
capacitie
,
are
able
to
say
so
,
and
doe
beleeue
as
much
,
and
haue
such
a
full
perswasion
of
it
,
that
if
all
the
world
should
tell
them
the
contrary
,
they
would
not
beleeue
them
,
neither
could
they
possibly
doubt
of
it
,
their
sight
&
feeling
did
sufficiently
instruct
them
.
But
when
the
cloudes
shall
couer
it
,
or
in
the
night
both
the
light
and
heat
thereo●
shall
be
taken
away
;
then
to
be
full●
perswaded
,
that
the
sunne
is
still
i●
the
heauens
,
and
that
it
hath
lost
nothing
of
the
light
and
heate
of
it
;
tha●
is
a
matter
of
a
deeper
conceit
,
an●
more
experience
.
Euen
so
when
the
testimonies
of
Gods
fauour
and
loue
are
so
many
&
great
,
and
so
plentifully
vpon
vs
,
both
outwardly
and
inwardly
,
that
they
may
easily
be
seene
and
felt
;
then
to
beleeue
,
that
God
is
gratious
vnto
vs
,
and
to
be
perswaded
of
his
fauour
towards
vs
,
is
that
which
the
weakest
in
faith
may
attaine
vnto
without
any
difficultie
:
But
when
all
these
shall
be
taken
away
,
not
onely
in
our
owne
iudgement
,
but
in
the
opinion
also
of
others
,
and
the
light
of
Gods
countenan e
shall
be
,
as
it
were
,
darkned
with
the
cloudes
of
aduersitie
,
and
all
things
outwardly
shall
be
as
vncomfortable
vnto
vs
,
as
the
darkest
night
of
winter
;
yet
then
to
beleeue
,
that
God
is
one
and
the
same
towards
vs
,
and
that
his
loue
suffereth
no
eclypse
at
all
,
but
is
the
same
still
to
vs
,
and
to
all
those
that
are
his
,
because
whome
be
once
loueth
,
he
loueth
vnto
the
ende
,
Againe
,
as
if
a
man
doth
come
into
a
fruitfull
garden
or
orchyard
,
well
set
with
many
trees
in
the
spring
time
,
when
all
things
are
greene
and
blossome
,
or
in
sommer
,
when
the
trees
are
full
of
fruit
;
it
is
the
easiest
thing
in
the
world
then
euen
at
the
first
sight
to
be
perswaded
,
that
the
trees
are
liuing
and
growing
:
and
he
that
hath
the
weakest
senses
,
&
meanest
wit
,
and
least
experience
,
is
able
to
say
so
:
But
to
come
thether
in
the
depth
of
winter
,
when
all
the
fruit
shall
be
gathered
,
and
the
leaues
fallen
,
and
see
all
the
bowes
,
white
with
the
whore
frost
,
and
rine
hanging
vpon
euery
twigge
,
so
that
outwardly
they
seeme
to
be
dead
and
rotten
;
yet
then
to
be
perswaded
,
that
they
are
liuing
,
and
that
the
sappe
is
at
the
roote
,
which
in
time
will
come
into
all
the
branches
againe
,
and
shew
it self
,
as
before
,
in
putting
forth
leaues
,
blossomes
,
and
fruit
:
this
requireth
better
iudgement
,
&
more
experience
.
So
is
it
in
the
matter
of
faith
:
when
all
the
testimonies
of
Gods
loue
doe
aboundantly
shew
themselues
,
as
it
were
in
somer
,
it
is
an
easie
matter
to
beleeue
:
but
when
all
these
shall
be
fallen
away
from
vs
,
as
they
were
from
Iob
;
and
there
is
a
very
hard
&
long
winter
ful
of
many
stormes
come
vpon
vs
;
yet
then
not
to
be
too
much
discouraged
&
cast
downe
,
as
though
all
were
cleane
lost
and
gone
:
but
to
be
perswaded
,
that
the
fauour
of
God
is
not
cleane
dried
vp
,
but
is
at
the
roote
,
that
is
,
is
the
same
in
Christ
towards
vs
,
that
euer
it
was
;
and
that
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
For
the
releeuing
of
our selues
therefore
in
such
cases
as
these
,
what
must
wee
doe
?
Wee
must
doe
that
,
which
Thomas
the
Apostle
should
haue
done
:
namely
,
he
should
haue
beleeued
those
that
tolde
him
,
that
Christ
was
risen
,
and
that
they
had
seene
him
:
and
he
should
haue
beleeued
the
wordes
of
Christ
himselfe
,
who
had
foretold
him
,
that
he
should
be
put
to
death
,
and
that
within
three
daies
he
should
rise
againe
:
which
wordes
of
Christ
must
needes
haue
beene
verified
in
their
time
,
though
none
had
euer
seene
him
.
So
must
we
doe
,
euen
beleeue
the
word
and
promises
of
God
,
in
the
mouthes
of
his
faithfull
seruants
,
who
are
able
both
to
see
further
into
them
,
and
also
to
discerne
more
testimonies
of
faith
,
and
of
the
fauour
of
God
in
vs
,
then
we
our selues
can
doe
.
And
though
we
,
whome
they
doe
most
of
all
concerne
,
doe
not
see
them
at
all
,
or
as
we
desire
:
it
is
sufficient
,
that
others
,
whom
we
ought
to
credit
,
doe
see
them
in
vs
,
and
do
constantly
and
vpon
their
credit
auouch
the
same
vnto
vs
.
For
it
is
most
certaine
and
true
,
though
eury
man
should
best
knowe
himselfe
:
yet
it
so
often
falleth
out
,
that
wee
are
not
fit
iudges
of
our selues
,
and
of
our
own
estate
,
neither
of
body
,
nor
of
soule
:
and
therefore
if
we
will
be
rightly
perswaded
of
our selues
,
we
must
not
so
much
rely
vpon
our
owne
iudgement
,
as
giue
credit
vnto
others
;
which
may
and
doe
see
that
in
vs
,
which
wee
our selues
doe
not
,
neither
can
.
As
when
a
man
is
daungerously
sicke
of
some
disease
,
though
he
haue
some
generall
knowledge
of
the
estate
of
his
body
,
yet
he
may
take
himselfe
to
be
stronger
or
weaker
,
nearer
or
further
off
from
death
,
then
indeed
he
is
:
and
therfore
in
such
case
we
ask
the
aduise
of
some
skilfull
Physitians
,
and
trust
their
iudgement
better
then
our
owne
;
in
so
much
that
though
a
man
be
a
very
skilfull
Physitian
,
he
will
hardly
or
not
at
all
practise
vpon
him selfe
in
great
extremities
,
but
vseth
the
helpe
of
other
Physitians
,
and
is
contented
to
be
ordered
at
their
discretion
:
Euen
so
when
a
man
is
dangerously
sicke
in
his
soule
,
either
of
vnbeleefe
,
or
otherwise
,
he
is
not
to
iudge
of
himself
at
that
time
,
though
he
be
a
very
good
christian
,
but
he
must
for
his
recouerie
out
of
that
estate
,
vse
the
helpe
of
other
godly
ministers
,
and
hearken
vnto
their
iudgement
concerning
himselfe
.
And
that
we
might
see
the
truth
of
this
most
clearly
in
an
other
case
,
we
must
consider
,
that
as
when
the
Deuill
preuaileth
against
vs
by
presumption
,
we
so
fauour
our selues
,
&
are
so
partiall
that
way
,
that
we
imagine
,
both
that
we
haue
those
vertues
and
graces
of
God
in
vs
,
and
that
in
great
measure
,
which
we
haue
not
,
neither
can
any
man
see
them
in
vs
;
and
also
that
we
are
free
from
those
corruptions
and
sinnes
,
which
yet
do
apparantly
breake
out
in
vs
,
and
all
the
world
may
easily
see
them
:
So
on
the
otherside
,
when
he
hath
gotten
the
aduantage
of
vs
by
diffidence
&
despaire
,
he
maketh
vs
to
rigorous
&
hard
against
our selues
;
and
perswadeth
vs
that
we
want
those
graces
,
which
doe
apparantly
shew
themselues
to
others
;
and
to
haue
those
sinnes
&
corruptions
,
and
that
measure
of
them
which
in
truth
we
haue
not
,
neither
is
any
able
to
discerne
them
in
vs
,
though
we
crie
out
against
our selues
for
them
.
So
that
in
both
these
estates
,
wherein
we
deceiue
our selues
of
our selues
,
if
we
wil
be
holpen
,
we
must
deny
our selues
,
and
not
measure
our selues
by
our selues
,
but
giue
credit
to
those
,
who
as
they
are
wise
to
discerne
,
and
faithfull
to
iudge
;
so
are
they
also
true
to
report
what
they
thinke
of
vs
,
and
of
our
estate
.
Which
if
we
will
not
doe
,
we
must
needes
continue
in
our
vnbeleefe
,
and
other
sinnes
so
much
the
longer
:
and
it
shall
be
a
very
hard
thing
to
recouer
vs
out
of
the
same
.
Let
vs
therefore
as
we
loue
our
owne
good
,
in
such
extreame
cases
as
these
,
when
by
the
temptation
of
Satan
we
are
brought
to
a
narrowe
poynt
,
hearken
vnto
those
faithfull
ministers
and
godly
brethren
of
ours
,
who
are
able
,
(
because
they
are
out
of
temptation
,
and
the
case
is
not
their
owne
)
better
to
iudge
of
vs
,
then
we
our selues
:
and
then
haue
we
made
a
good
entrance
vnto
the
turning
of
our
soules
,
though
we
be
not
presently
restored
to
perfect
health
:
and
though
we
haue
not
present
comfort
,
yet
the
extremities
of
our
feares
shall
be
greatly
staied
:
and
this
staying
of
vs
wil
minister
further
hope
of
full
recouerie
:
and
it
is
none
of
the
least
mercies
of
God
to
see
,
that
we
haue
beene
deceiued
in
our selues
,
and
are
not
able
rightly
to
iudge
of
our selues
.
Thus
we
see
,
how
faith
,
and
great
faith
,
is
without
feeling
:
and
when
we
be
oppressed
with
this
temptation
,
how
we
must
helpe
our selues
by
beleeuing
others
more
then
our selues
,
yea
euen
of
our
owne
selues
.
Moreouer
,
to
this
effect
must
we
be
admonished
,
that
as
in
the
natural
life
there
are
three
ages
,
the
infancie
,
the
childhood
or
youth
,
and
the
riper
and
perfect
age
:
so
in
the
spirituall
life
the
Scripture
maketh
mention
of
three
ages
;
for
of
those
that
are
in
Christ
,
and
truly
belong
vnto
him
,
some
are
new
borne
babes
,
So
a
great
many
,
that
are
borne
againe
of
water
,
And
for
those
that
are
of
riper
age
in
Christ
,
and
haue
had
some
feeling
of
their
saluation
,
and
haue
lost
it
;
they
are
not
to
be
addicted
to
their
owne
iudgement
,
to
thinke
they
neuer
had
it
,
because
it
is
now
lost
,
or
that
they
shall
neuer
haue
it
againe
,
because
it
is
taken
from
them
for
a
while
;
for
the
life
of
God
may
still
be
in
them
,
though
the
present
feeling
of
it
be
taken
away
:
and
therfore
at
this
time
,
concerning
their
owne
present
state
,
they
must
beleeue
others
,
that
can
see
more
into
them
,
then
themselues
.
For
as
in
some
diseases
of
the
bodie
a
man
may
haue
all
his
senses
taken
away
from
him
for
a
while
;
or
he
may
be
so
sore
wounded
in
the
head
,
and
his
braine
so
distempered
,
that
he
can
not
tell
,
whether
himselfe
be
aliue
or
dead
:
but
o●●●rs
by
their
breathing
,
and
some
〈◊〉
operations
of
life
doe
see
euidently
,
that
life
remaineth
in
them
,
and
so
hope
that
they
may
be
recouered
.
So
a
man
may
be
so
spiritually
sicke
of
vnbeleefe
,
or
so
sore
wounded
in
his
soule
with
temptations
,
that
he
cannot
see
any
token
of
Gods
fauour
in
himselfe
;
but
yet
by
the
praiers
that
●e
maketh
vnto
God
to
be
holpen
●ut
of
these
distresses
,
by
the
loue
●hat
he
beareth
vnto
God
,
and
to
Gods
people
,
and
other
operations
●f
the
spirit
of
God
in
him
,
they
that
●re
wise
shall
be
able
to
discerne
that
●●e
life
of
Gods
spirit
breatheth
in
●●em
,
to
whome
they
must
giue
cre●it
aboue
themselues
:
and
so
thinke
,
●●at
they
are
in
a
better
estate
of
saluation
,
then
they
can
see
themselues
to
be
.
And
it
must
not
seeme
straunge
vnto
vs
,
that
other
should
see
better
into
our
estate
,
then
we
our selues
can
.
For
oftentimes
it
falleth
out
,
that
some
great
affection
of
the
minde
so
blindeth
vs
,
that
we
imagine
that
we
haue
not
that
,
which
indeed
we
haue
.
He
that
is
blinded
with
couetousnes
of
these
worldly
goods
,
by
the
vnsatiable
desire
that
is
in
him
,
neuer
satisfied
,
though
he
hath
more
to
liu●
on
then
many
hundreds
,
yet
still
h●
is
complaining
of
his
want
,
and
pouerty
;
and
saith
,
that
he
hath
nothing
and
tel
him
of
this
,
and
of
that
whic●
God
hath
bestowed
vpon
him
,
ye●
because
he
hath
not
all
that
he
des●reth
,
he
maketh
no
account
of
the●
and
all
is
vnto
him
,
as
though
he
ha●●
nothing
.
So
he
that
is
sicke
of
a
spir●tuall
couetousnesse
,
and
desireth
th●
feeling
of
Gods
fauour
in
a
gre●●
me●sure
,
and
such
an
assurance
of
his
saluation
,
as
might
be
without
al
doubt
:
which
because
he
can
not
come
vnto
,
because
the
flesh
lusteth
against
the
Spirit
,
and
in
it
there
is
nothing
but
doubting
,
he
imagineth
that
because
there
is
some
want
of
assurance
and
feeling
,
that
therefore
there
is
no
feeling
at
all
:
as
the
couetous
man
by
reason
of
some
want
,
saith
that
he
hath
nothing
:
the
want
of
that
,
which
he
hath
not
,
so
blindeth
his
eyes
,
that
he
can
not
see
that
,
that
he
hath
:
so
the
want
of
some
assurance
so
troubleth
them
,
and
they
haue
so
great
a
desire
vnto
more
,
that
they
can
not
see
that
they
haue
,
but
for
want
of
some
,
denie
all
.
A
remedie
against
which
temptation
is
,
not
to
deceiue
our selues
any
longer
with
an
imagination
of
such
a
measure
of
assurance
of
saluation
ordinarily
in
the
children
of
God
,
which
should
be
without
all
wauering
or
doubting
:
or
such
a
measure
of
feeling
of
the
loue
of
God
,
and
ioy
therein
,
as
should
abandon
all
distrustfulnes
and
sorow
:
this
is
not
to
be
looked
for
in
this
world
:
And
concerning
this
desire
of
feeling
and
assurance
,
wee
must
vnderstand
thus
much
,
that
none
can
haue
this
,
but
those
that
beleeue
:
so
that
though
we
should
want
them
both
altogether
,
yet
the
desire
that
wee
haue
vnto
them
,
doth
manifestly
argue
that
we
haue
faith
.
For
who
can
desire
to
feele
the
heate
and
light
of
the
sunne
,
but
he
that
hath
life
in
him
?
a
dead
carkase
cannot
doe
it
.
So
●f
there
were
not
the
life
of
the
Spi●it
in
vs
by
faith
,
we
could
not
haue
a●y
desire
to
feele
the
fauour
of
God
●n
vs
in
truth
at
all
.
He
that
is
neuer
so
weake
,
yet
if
he
still
desire
strength
,
it
appeareth
that
there
is
life
in
him
:
so
when
we
most
earnestly
desire
to
be
strengthened
in
the
assurance
of
our
saluation
,
it
is
a
manifest
token
,
that
the
life
of
God
is
still
in
vs
:
therefore
let
vs
comfort
our selues
with
such
desires
,
and
know
assuredly
,
that
as
they
be
of
God
,
so
he
will
satisfie
them
in
his
good
time
:
for
the
Lord
heareth
the
desire
of
the
poore
,
That
I
might
not
say
here
that
,
which
is
yet
most
true
,
that
while
they
so
vnmeasurably
desire
it
,
they
haue
it
in
a
good
measure
.
For
herein
is
the
saying
of
S.
Augustine
most
true
,
that
the
desire
of
any
grace
of
God
,
is
in
some
sort
the
grace
it selfe
.
He
that
vnfainedly
desireth
the
forgiuenes
of
his
sinnes
,
doth
with
this
desire
obtaine
the
remission
of
them
.
He
that
desireth
a
greater
measure
of
repentance
,
doth
from
day
to
day
profit
in
repentance
:
he
that
desireth
not
to
sinne
,
is
no
sinner
before
God
:
he
that
desireth
the
fauour
of
God
,
hath
obtained
it
alreadie
:
he
that
desireth
the
assurance
of
his
saluation
,
and
the
feeling
of
Gods
fauour
,
he
hath
both
of
them
in
some
sort
already
.
When
Abraham
was
willing
to
offer
vp
his
sonne
Izack
at
Gods
commandement
,
For
as
the
Apostle
speaketh
o●
almes
,
Christ
saith
in
the
Gospel
,
that
whosoeuer
looketh
on
a
woman
to
lust
after
her
,
Concerning
which
feelings
,
we
must
also
consider
,
that
in
them
that
haue
them
in
the
greatest
measure
,
they
are
not
alwaies
alike
:
but
they
are
going
and
comming
,
as
the
day
and
the
night
.
And
as
in
the
course
of
nature
there
is
not
one
tenour
of
things
,
but
Gods
works
are
subiect
to
many
changes
:
so
is
it
in
the
course
of
Gods
grace
:
that
which
we
haue
receiued
,
doth
not
alwaies
continue
alike
,
neither
haue
we
the
same
feeling
of
it
to
day
,
that
we
had
yesterday
:
whether
we
looke
to
the
feruencie
of
prayer
,
or
zeale
to
Gods
word
,
or
loue
to
his
Saints
,
or
assurance
of
our
saluation
.
Here
we
must
comfort
our selues
with
the
remembrance
of
that
that
we
haue
found
in
our selues
in
times
past
,
and
hope
that
we
may
finde
the
like
againe
:
and
say
as
it
is
in
the
Psalme
,
THe
fourth
and
last
degree
of
his
vnbeleefe
appeareth
in
this
,
Except
I
see
in
his
hands
the
print
of
the
nayles
,
and
in
his
side
the
print
of
the
speare
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
.
For
why
should
he
desire
this
?
not
onely
to
see
him
,
and
to
feele
him
;
but
to
see
in
his
hands
the
print
of
the
nailes
,
and
to
put
his
finger
into
them
;
and
to
see
in
his
side
the
print
of
the
speare
,
and
to
put
his
hand
into
it
.
Did
he
not
know
that
these
wounds
and
skarres
were
proper
vnto
his
bodie
onely
while
it
was
subiect
vnto
infirmitie
and
weaknes
:
and
that
after
his
resurrection
his
bodie
was
glorified
?
And
so
he
might
haue
thought
,
that
though
it
should
be
graunted
vnto
him
to
see
him
,
yet
he
could
not
by
any
reason
or
ground
from
the
Scripture
,
haue
hope
to
see
him
thus
:
&
yet
he
saith
,
Except
I
see
the
print
of
the
nailes
,
&c.
I
will
not
beleeue
it
:
he
doth
not
say
,
except
I
see
him
:
but
,
except
I
see
him
with
the
print
of
the
nayles
,
and
of
the
speare
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
.
This
is
then
the
nature
of
vnbeleefe
,
that
when
it
will
not
profit
by
the
ordinarie
meanes
,
that
God
hath
appointed
for
the
confirming
of
faith
;
it
desireth
such
things
,
whereof
there
is
no
warrant
,
either
from
reason
,
or
from
Scripture
.
As
here
S.
Thomas
neglecting
what
Christ
had
saide
vnto
him
,
that
when
he
should
be
put
to
death
,
within
three
daies
he
would
rise
again
:
and
that
also
which
was
tolde
him
by
the
Apostles
,
and
diuers
others
,
namely
,
that
he
was
risen
againe
,
and
had
appeared
vnto
such
and
such
:
he
saith
,
Except
I
see
him
my selfe
,
with
the
print
of
the
nayles
in
his
feete
,
and
of
the
speare
in
his
side
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
.
Concerning
which
poynt
;
though
Christ
did
rise
indeede
out
of
the
sepulchre
with
these
markes
in
his
glorified
body
,
and
did
retaine
them
whiles
he
taried
on
the
earth
,
that
thereby
it
might
more
certainely
be
knowne
,
that
the
same
body
of
his
that
was
crucified
,
was
raised
vp
againe
;
yet
Thomas
had
no
generall
rule
to
leade
him
to
thinke
that
it
should
be
so
,
but
rather
according
to
the
common
condition
of
the
bodies
of
all
the
faithfull
in
the
day
of
resurrection
,
so
to
conceiue
of
the
body
of
Christ
raised
vp
.
For
that
which
is
said
of
the
resurrection
of
all
the
faithful
,
the
members
of
Christs
mysticall
body
,
must
needes
be
much
more
true
of
him
the
head
:
for
it
belongeth
to
them
onely
by
vertue
of
his
resurrection
.
Now
of
them
the
Apostle
writeth
thus
to
the
Corinthians
;
And
for
the
further
confirmation
of
this
,
we
may
remember
what
the
Apostle
saith
touching
the
glorious
state
of
our
bodies
to
be
raised
vp
:
Our
conuersation
is
in
heauen
,
And
though
he
did
at
the
last
appeare
with
these
markes
in
his
body
both
to
the
eleuen
first
,
and
afterwards
vnto
Thomas
:
yet
it
was
not
because
his
bodie
was
properly
,
and
of
it
owne
nature
then
subiect
vnto
them
,
no
more
then
it
was
to
hunger
,
when
he
did
eate
with
them
:
Thus
in
the
Gospel
our
Sauiour
Christ
in
the
parable
of
the
rich
glutton
,
and
in
his
person
noteth
out
the
thoughts
and
desires
of
vnbeleeuers
here
in
this
world
:
where
he
is
broght
in
speaking
vnto
Abraham
after
this
manner
;
I
pray
thee
father
,
Thus
foolish
is
vnbeleefe
,
to
neglect
the
certen
testimonie
of
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
which
is
the
ordinarie
meanes
to
reueale
his
will
vnto
vs
,
and
to
desire
that
Angels
or
dead
men
might
come
from
heauen
,
or
from
hell
to
speake
vnto
them
,
and
then
they
would
beleeue
them
:
which
in
these
daies
is
so
extraordinary
,
that
it
is
not
to
be
looked
for
.
But
this
is
a
short
and
plaine
answer
for
such
men
set
downe
there
from
Abraham
,
who
said
thus
vnto
him
,
And
truly
if
we
could
so
well
see
into
the
hearts
of
men
,
as
Christ
did
when
he
vttered
this
parable
,
wee
should
see
,
that
the
greatest
part
of
the
world
is
still
of
this
mind
,
to
neglect
all
the
ordinarie
meanes
,
that
God
hath
appointed
either
to
worke
faith
in
them
at
the
first
,
or
to
confirme
it
in
them
afterwards
;
and
to
desire
such
meanes
,
as
are
impossible
and
not
to
be
looked
for
,
because
they
are
contrarie
to
the
word
of
God
.
For
the
Apostle
saith
,
But
yet
vnbeleeuing
men
refuse
these
,
and
with
itching
eares
they
linger
after
the
other
:
and
some
are
ready
to
say
,
Oh
if
I
might
haue
an
Angel
come
and
tell
me
of
the
destruction
that
shall
come
vpon
the
wicked
for
their
sinne
,
But
what
saith
the
Apostle
to
the
Romanes
?
But
the
righteousnes
of
faith
,
that
is
,
true
faith
whereby
we
are
made
righteous
in
Christ
,
suppresseth
these
thoughts
of
vnbeleefe
;
and
telleth
vs
according
to
that
,
that
is
preached
in
the
Gospel
,
that
Christ
hath
fulfilled
all
things
needefull
for
our
saluation
;
euen
that
he
hath
suffered
the
curse
of
the
law
to
deliuer
vs
from
hel
,
and
that
he
hath
fulfilled
the
righteousnes
of
the
law
to
bring
vs
to
heauen
,
and
he
hath
ascended
vp
thither
for
vs
in
our
nature
,
to
prepare
a
place
for
vs
:
and
he
hath
praied
vnto
God
for
vs
,
that
where
he
is
we
may
be
to
behold
his
glorie
.
Thus
true
faith
for
the
certentie
of
our
saluation
,
bids
vs
rely
vpon
that
,
that
Christ
hath
don
for
vs
,
and
vpon
that
,
which
this
way
is
set
downe
in
the
Gospel
:
and
so
our
consciences
shall
be
quieted
,
and
no
man
neede
to
aske
these
questions
,
who
can
ascend
vp
into
heauen
,
or
bring
vs
from
hell
?
seeing
that
the
Gospel
teacheth
that
both
these
are
done
by
Christ
for
all
those
that
imbrace
their
calling
by
a
true
faith
.
But
vnbeleefe
neglecting
this
,
desireth
that
,
that
is
vnreasonable
,
and
saith
,
Oh
,
but
I
see
none
that
hath
ascended
vp
to
heauen
,
&
come
downe
againe
to
tell
me
,
what
is
there
done
for
me
.
Who
shall
ascend
?
who
is
he
that
hath
,
or
will
doe
so
much
?
then
I
could
beleeue
it
.
And
I
see
none
,
that
hath
descended
into
hell
,
and
returned
,
to
tell
me
that
I
am
deliuered
from
thence
.
Who
shall
descend
into
the
deepe
?
where
is
he
that
hath
,
or
will
doe
this
for
me
?
then
I
could
beleeue
it
.
And
so
not
onely
the
vnbeleeuers
are
wholly
possessed
and
ouercom
with
these
doubtfull
thoughts
;
but
all
men
,
so
farre
as
vnbeleefe
preuaileth
in
them
,
are
ready
to
say
thus
,
at
least
in
their
hearts
,
Oh
,
if
any
might
come
from
heauen
,
to
assure
me
,
that
I
shall
come
thither
,
and
be
saued
,
then
I
could
beleeue
it
:
or
if
any
might
come
from
hell
,
to
assure
me
that
I
am
deliuered
from
thence
,
then
I
should
be
quiet
in
my
minde
,
and
deliuered
from
these
feares
,
that
I
am
incombred
with
.
But
what
saith
faith
?
say
not
thus
in
thine
heart
,
&c.
that
is
,
haue
thou
no
such
doubts
in
thy
mind
,
but
consider
what
Christ
hath
done
for
thee
,
to
bring
thee
to
heauen
,
and
to
deliuer
thee
from
hell
:
and
what
the
gospel
doth
this
way
offer
vnto
thee
,
and
what
thou
hast
heard
preached
out
of
it
to
this
ende
,
and
rest
in
them
:
For
if
thou
shalt
confesse
with
thy
mouth
the
Lord
Iesus
,
And
whereas
the
best
beleeuers
are
subiect
vnto
these
temptations
at
one
time
or
other
,
by
reason
of
the
rēnants
of
vnbeleefe
abiding
in
them
:
yet
the
Apostle
giueth
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
they
come
from
vnbeleefe
,
and
not
from
faith
:
but
that
it
is
the
nature
of
saith
to
striue
against
them
,
&
to
suppresse
them
in
measure
,
so
farre
forth
as
faith
preuaileth
,
and
getteth
the
victory
in
them
.
So
that
when
they
begin
to
haue
these
doubts
in
their
minds
,
and
to
thinke
with
themselues
,
how
shal
I
ascend
into
heauen
?
how
shall
I
escape
hell
,
I
cannot
tell
what
shall
become
of
me
?
then
faith
is
as
a
voice
speaking
behind
them
,
to
admonish
them
of
their
duty
,
and
as
it
were
pulling
them
by
the
elbow
bids
them
hold
their
peace
,
Oh
say
not
in
thine
heart
,
who
shall
ascend
into
heauen
,
&c.
Oh
haue
no
such
thoughts
in
thy
mind
:
this
were
to
deny
what
Christ
hath
done
for
thee
concerning
thy
redemption
from
hell
,
and
thy
ascention
into
heauen
:
therefore
say
not
so
in
any
case
,
no
not
in
thine
heart
:
giue
ouer
reasoning
with
vnbeleefe
,
and
rest
in
the
word
of
God
.
Thus
we
see
how
vnbeleefe
bindeth
God
to
vnreasonable
courses
,
&
desireth
of
him
for
the
strengthening
of
faith
things
not
to
be
desired
:
therefore
as
we
see
from
whence
such
do
arise
,
so
we
must
striue
against
vnbeleefe
,
that
we
might
ouercome
such
foolish
conceits
.
And
thus
the
vnbeleuing
Iewes
did
reason
against
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
when
he
was
vpon
the
crosse
,
and
thereby
did
shew
what
wicked
and
absurd
thoughts
their
infidelitie
did
driue
them
vnto
.
If
thou
be
the
sonne
of
God
,
They
did
not
consider
how
all
the
prophesies
of
the
Messiah
set
downe
in
Scripture
were
verified
in
him
,
euen
from
his
first
conception
,
vnto
this
very
houre
:
how
he
was
conceiued
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
borne
of
a
virgin
,
and
of
the
house
of
Dauid
,
and
in
Bethleem
:
how
the
wise
men
came
from
the
East
vnto
Ierusalem
,
and
told
them
that
the
King
of
the
Iewes
was
borne
,
and
that
they
had
seene
his
starre
:
neither
what
old
father
Simeon
,
and
Anna
the
prophe●esse
said
of
him
in
the
temple
,
when
he
was
circumcised
.
They
regarded
not
his
doctrine
ful
of
authoritie
and
●ower
,
themselues
beeing
driuen
to
confesse
,
that
neuer
man
before
spake
●ike
vnto
him
:
they
were
not
moo●ed
with
his
miracles
,
when
they
●aw
how
by
his
owne
power
he
hea●ed
them
of
incurable
diseases
,
made
●he
blind
to
see
,
the
lame
to
goe
,
the
●eafe
to
heare
:
cast
out
the
deuills
by
●he
power
of
his
word
;
raised
vp
thē●hat
were
dead
:
and
did
many
more
●●ings
els
,
which
were
sufficient
to
●onuince
them
,
that
he
was
the
true
●essiah
and
Sauiour
,
to
whome
all
●●e
Prophets
gaue
witnesse
:
neither
did
they
giue
any
credit
vnto
the
voice
of
God
himselfe
,
which
they
heard
from
heauen
,
when
he
was
baptized
,
None
of
all
these
they
regarded
they
were
not
sufficient
to
cause
th●
to
beleeue
in
him
,
they
despised
the●
all
,
as
though
they
had
been
nothin●
worth
;
but
such
a
foolish
thing
〈◊〉
this
they
desire
,
and
that
should
satisfie
them
:
if
he
would
come
down●
from
the
crosse
,
and
that
euen
ve●
now
at
their
appointment
,
and
tar●●
no
longer
,
then
they
could
beleeue●
him
indeede
:
but
if
he
would
not
d●●
that
at
all
,
or
not
now
presently
wi●●
out
any
delay
they
will
not
beleeue
in
him
.
Which
if
he
had
done
,
he
had
forsaken
his
office
of
redemption
,
for
he
came
to
suffer
and
die
for
vs
,
that
he
might
by
his
owne
sufferings
deliuer
vs
from
death
,
and
to
die
vpon
the
crosse
,
And
after
this
manner
the
Deuill
teacheth
other
men
also
by
vnbeleefe
to
reason
against
good
men
,
and
against
themselues
:
as
if
such
a
man
were
an
vpright
man
,
such
an
one
as
he
maketh
shew
of
,
God
would
not
suffer
him
to
be
so
and
so
afflicted
,
but
he
would
deliuer
him
from
this
crosse
,
that
is
vpon
him
:
and
so
did
the
three
friends
of
Iob
reason
against
him
to
the
great
weakning
of
his
faith
:
as
this
was
also
none
of
the
least
temptations
vnto
Dauid
,
when
the
wicked
saide
of
him
in
his
miserie
,
And
how
long
must
we
thus
wait
vpon
God
for
his
deliuerance
?
euen
vntill
it
pleaseth
him
to
discharge
vs
:
not
prescribing
vnto
him
any
time
.
Euen
as
it
is
said
in
one
of
the
Psalms
of
degres
,
But
vnbeleefe
saith
,
I
could
be●eeue
these
promises
,
if
I
might
now
inioy
them
,
and
vnles
I
be
presently
deliuered
,
I
cannot
thinke
,
that
God
regardeth
me
:
and
so
it
tieth
Gods
fauour
to
present
deliuerance
.
And
though
the
Scripture
hath
said
,
that
affliction
is
like
vnto
fire
,
and
that
our
faith
and
patience
is
like
vnto
gold
;
and
therefore
as
the
gold
must
tarie
in
the
fire
vntill
all
the
drosse
be
consumed
,
and
the
gold
refined
:
so
God
wil
haue
vs
to
indure
the
crosse
,
vntill
our
corruption
be
thoroughly
purged
,
and
our
faith
and
patience
b●
prooued
to
be
pure
and
good
;
yet
we
are
readie
to
say
,
that
vnlesse
he
deliuer
me
now
,
I
cannot
beleeue
,
tha●
he
hath
any
respect
vnto
me
.
An●
vnto
all
that
,
which
faith
saith
vnt●
vs
,
concerning
the
tarying
of
God
leisure
;
vnbeleefe
is
readie
to
mak●
answer
,
that
vnlesse
God
giue
it
now
I
will
thinke
that
I
shall
neuer
haue
i●
And
as
faith
or
vnbeleefe
preuailet●
in
vs
at
any
time
;
so
are
these
thogh●
more
or
lesse
in
vs
,
in
the
time
of
any
affliction
:
for
the
one
is
of
the
flesh
,
and
the
other
of
the
Spirit
,
and
both
these
beeing
in
the
regenerate
,
And
this
is
that
,
which
euery
one
of
vs
hath
experience
of
in
our selues
:
for
how
often
when
we
haue
beene
in
trouble
,
haue
we
thought
,
and
said
in
our
owne
hearts
;
vnles
God
giue
me
such
and
such
meanes
,
there
are
none
that
will
doe
me
good
:
and
vnlesse
these
helpe
me
,
I
can
not
looke
for
helpe
from
any
:
and
so
we
are
readie
to
tie
Gods
helpe
to
times
,
and
to
meanes
.
Whereas
faith
saith
otherwise
out
of
the
word
of
God
,
namely
,
that
he
hath
other
times
,
and
meanes
in
his
hands
to
doe
vs
good
by
,
and
that
he
is
able
to
helpe
vs
when
all
meanes
faile
vs
.
And
besides
,
what
if
he
will
not
deliuer
vs
at
all
?
but
wil
haue
vs
drinke
of
that
cuppe
,
that
he
hath
giuen
vs
,
euen
vnto
death
:
as
Christ
himselfe
did
:
his
loue
is
neuer
a
whit
the
lesse
vnto
vs
,
no
more
then
it
was
vnto
him
.
Thus
we
see
,
how
this
vnbeleefe
raigneth
in
this
world
,
and
yet
how
Christ
of
his
infinite
goodnesse
and
mercie
,
beareth
with
those
that
are
his
in
it
for
a
while
,
and
cureth
them
of
it
at
the
last
,
as
he
did
with
the
Apostle
Thomas
,
and
as
he
hath
done
with
vs
very
often
,
and
in
many
things
.
And
this
is
that
,
which
the
Prophet
noteth
to
haue
beene
very
often
in
the
people
of
Israel
,
whiles
they
were
in
the
wildernes
,
of
whome
he
saith
,
So
doe
many
vnbeleeuers
of
our
time
:
looke
what
they
earnestly
desire
,
if
they
haue
it
not
,
they
will
not
beleeue
that
God
careth
for
them
:
&
hereupon
some
of
them
say
,
if
I
might
haue
such
a
thing
,
I
would
think
that
God
loued
me
:
and
others
say
,
if
God
would
bestowe
this
or
that
vpon
me
,
I
would
hope
that
I
were
in
his
fauour
.
And
what
things
are
they
then
which
they
desire
?
onely
outward
,
and
appertaining
to
this
life
:
and
so
according
to
their
present
wants
through
vnbeleefe
they
limite
the
loue
of
God
,
some
to
one
thing
,
some
to
an
other
,
and
will
not
be
perswaded
of
it
,
but
by
the
inioying
of
such
things
as
themselues
desire
.
And
it
is
thus
not
onely
in
the
vnbeleeuers
:
but
all
Gods
children
,
so
farre
as
the
remnants
of
vnbeleefe
do
preuaile
in
them
,
are
subiect
vnto
these
temptations
,
and
to
these
desires
:
and
are
ready
to
say
,
if
I
were
rid
of
this
affliction
,
which
hath
lien
heauily
vpon
me
a
long
time
,
I
could
be
perswaded
of
his
fauour
towards
me
.
By
which
we
are
thus
to
profit
,
thereby
to
see
,
what
infidelity
is
lurking
in
vs
,
that
so
we
might
be
sory
for
it
,
&
seeke
to
be
holpen
of
it
.
And
then
we
shall
see
the
remedie
against
it
to
be
this
:
that
as
the
Apostle
S.
Thomas
should
not
haue
tied
the
certenty
of
Christs
resurrection
,
to
his
apparition
and
shewing
of
himselfe
vnto
him
,
saying
,
Vnles
I
see
him
my selfe
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
:
for
it
was
true
,
&
to
be
beleeued
of
him
and
others
,
that
Christ
was
risen
againe
,
though
they
had
neuer
seene
him
:
much
lesse
should
he
haue
tied
it
vnto
this
,
that
he
would
see
him
in
that
forme
,
that
he
was
in
vpon
the
crosse
,
with
the
wounds
and
marks
in
his
bodie
,
saying
,
Vnles
I
see
in
his
hands
the
print
of
the
nayles
,
and
put
my
finger
into
the
print
of
the
nayles
,
and
put
my
hand
into
his
side
,
I
will
not
beleeue
it
:
for
he
might
haue
appeared
vnto
him
in
some
other
forme
,
as
he
did
vnto
others
,
at
diuers
times
.
Euen
so
we
are
not
to
tie
the
certentie
of
Gods
fauour
to
any
one
thing
,
and
to
say
,
vnles
I
haue
this
o●●
that
,
I
can
not
be
perswaded
of
Gods
fauour
:
much
lesse
vnto
any
of
these
outward
things
,
which
appertaine
vnto
our
bodies
,
and
to
this
life
:
for
God
our
heauenly
father
hath
many
waies
and
meanes
to
assure
his
children
of
his
loue
and
fauour
towards
them
;
and
doth
it
as
our
earthly
fathers
doe
,
not
onely
to
some
one
way
,
and
to
others
an
other
way
,
but
euen
vnto
the
same
not
alike
at
all
times
,
and
by
the
same
things
.
But
especially
there
are
more
sure
pledges
and
tokens
of
his
loue
,
which
he
bestoweth
vpon
his
children
,
then
all
the
outward
benefits
in
the
world
;
which
onely
for
the
most
part
the
vnbeleeuers
desire
,
and
measure
gods
fauour
by
them
.
For
there
are
the
graces
&
gifts
of
his
holy
Spirit
proper
vnto
the
elect
,
as
a
loue
of
God
and
of
goodnes
,
an
hatred
of
euill
,
a
desire
to
please
God
,
a
delight
in
the
companie
of
the
godly
,
and
such
like
:
in
bestowing
of
which
vpon
man
,
he
doth
most
of
all
manifest
his
loue
vnto
them
.
There
are
also
his
holy
word
and
Sacraments
,
whereby
he
worketh
the
beginning
and
increase
of
these
and
other
graces
in
those
that
are
his
:
rare
and
inestimable
testimonies
of
his
fauour
:
of
which
it
is
said
in
the
Psalme
,
But
the
greatest
token
of
all
,
wherby
God
hath
manifested
his
loue
vn●o
vs
,
is
the
death
of
his
sonne
:
of
which
Christ
speaketh
in
the
gospel
,
God
so
loued
the
world
,
And
therefore
this
is
singula●
commended
in
the
faith
of
Iob
,
th●
when
he
had
lost
al
his
worldly
goo●
and
in
respect
of
his
outward
esta●
he
was
brought
vnto
nothing
;
ye●
did
put
his
trust
in
God
:
beleeu●
that
his
fauour
was
not
tied
to
the●
nor
to
any
one
of
them
:
but
that
it
was
the
same
then
,
that
it
was
before
:
and
so
vttered
this
confortable
speach
proceeding
from
faith
in
Gods
goodnes
;
And
he
had
further
,
for
the
vpholding
of
his
faith
,
the
constant
truth
of
Gods
promises
;
and
those
not
onely
for
this
life
,
but
for
the
life
to
come
:
and
therefore
he
doubted
not
,
but
that
it
should
goe
well
with
him
,
though
he
died
in
that
estate
:
for
he
hoped
at
the
last
day
to
rise
againe
,
&
to
behold
Christ
his
Sauiour
to
his
euerlasting
comfort
:
when
he
saith
,
Oh
that
my
words
were
now
written
,
Thus
true
faith
bindeth
not
Gods
fauor
to
any
of
these
outward
things
,
whereby
men
doe
commonly
desire
to
be
assured
of
it
:
but
it
looketh
vnto
better
things
,
whereby
his
loue
is
most
apparant
;
and
that
not
onely
in
this
life
,
but
in
the
life
to
come
most
of
all
:
as
they
be
promised
and
set
downe
in
the
word
of
God
.
And
that
is
the
remedie
against
the
foolish
&
vaine
desires
of
vnbeleefe
.
Let
vs
not
therefore
tie
the
assurance
of
Gods
fauour
vnto
any
one
thing
,
but
seeing
that
he
hath
many
waies
to
declare
it
,
let
vs
beleeue
the
promises
of
his
word
,
and
pray
him
to
seale
them
vp
in
our
hearts
by
what
meanes
it
shall
please
him
best
:
and
let
vs
not
be
so
froward
and
peruerse
,
as
to
thinke
it
is
not
constant
vnto
vs
,
vnles
it
be
sealed
vp
that
way
,
which
we
our selues
doe
most
of
all
desire
.
Therefore
to
conclude
the
summe
of
all
in
few
words
.
We
see
by
the
weakenes
of
S.
Thomas
,
not
onely
what
we
are
subiect
vnto
,
but
also
how
we
may
helpe
our selues
and
others
against
the
same
.
He
did
not
beleeue
that
Christ
was
risen
againe
,
though
it
was
told
him
at
sundrie
times
by
diuers
,
that
were
very
credible
:
we
must
therefore
in
the
matter
of
faith
giue
credit
vnto
the
word
of
God
brought
vnto
vs
,
in
the
mouthes
of
his
faithfull
seruants
,
if
they
be
but
two
or
three
.
Secondly
,
he
●in
this
case
would
beleeue
none
but
himselfe
:
we
must
beleeue
in
the
mysterie
of
our
saluation
others
rather
then
our selues
,
and
thinke
especially
that
in
the
time
of
temptation
others
are
able
better
to
iudge
of
our
estate
,
then
we
our selues
can
,
and
so
be
not
●oo
much
addicted
to
our
owne
o●erweening
.
Thirdly
,
he
would
beleeue
nothing
●f
this
matter
any
further
then
himselfe
was
able
to
see
and
feele
:
now
●ecause
these
may
deceiue
vs
,
we
●ust
beleeue
without
any
sight
or
●eeling
:
especially
seeing
that
faith
is
●f
things
that
are
not
seene
,
&
the
fa●our
of
God
is
not
alwaies
sensible
〈◊〉
his
benefits
,
we
must
beleeue
his
●ord
without
:
yea
contrary
to
any
thing
,
that
we
can
see
or
feele
.
Lastly
,
he
would
not
beleeue
except
he
saw
Christ
with
his
wounds
,
and
so
in
that
forme
,
which
ordinarily
was
not
to
be
looked
for
:
we
therefore
must
not
by
vnbeleefe
tie
the
testimonies
of
Gods
fauour
for
the
assurance
of
our
faith
vnto
such
things
as
are
vnreasonable
,
and
commonly
not
to
be
looked
for
:
neither
vnto
any
one
particular
thing
,
because
he
hath
many
waies
to
confirme
the
same
vnto
vs
▪
and
pray
him
to
giue
vs
grace
,
tha●
we
may
profit
in
faith
by
any
,
that
h●
shall
bestowe
vpon
vs
.
And
seeing
it
is
so
hard
a
thing
to
beleeue
,
&
there
is
so
much
infidelitie
hidden
in
the
hearts
of
the
bo●●
seruants
of
God
;
let
vs
labour
to
search
into
the
depth
of
our
owne
,
that
fi●ding
the
same
in
our selues
,
we
ma●
whiles
we
haue
time
vse
in
feare
a●●
those
good
meanes
,
that
God
hat●
appointed
for
the
beginning
and
increase
of
faith
in
vs
,
that
so
by
his
blessing
we
daily
going
on
forward
from
faith
to
faith
,
we
may
at
the
last
come
to
that
measure
of
it
,
against
which
the
very
gates
of
hell
be
not
able
to
preuaile
:
that
so
we
may
both
in
temptation
,
and
vnder
all
crosses
,
and
in
the
howre
of
death
,
so
carrie
our selues
,
as
God
may
be
glorified
,
we
our selues
may
be
comforted
,
and
others
may
be
furthered
by
our
Christian
calling
,
and
good
example
:
which
Christ
the
author
and
finisher
of
our
faith
grant
vnto
vs
,
for
his
owne
name
sake
:
to
whome
with
the
father
and
the
holy
Spirit
,
one
true
,
immortall
,
inuisible
,
and
onely
wise
God
,
be
ascribed
as
most
due
all
honour
,
praise
,
and
glory
for
euer
and
euer
,
Amen
.
