THE
First
part
of
consideration
concerning
God
.
Consider
:
THis
word
Consider
,
in
a
few
letters
containeth
a
large
volume
,
wherein
the
eies
of
iudgement
may
read
what
is
necessarie
for
the
vnderstanding
of
humaine
reason
:
yea
,
and
the
best
parte
parte
of
the
moste
perfect
and
diuine
contemplation
,
of
the
moste
gracious
and
blessed
spirites
in
the
worlde
:
for
if
it
please
the
Almightie
God
of
his
infinite
goodnes
,
so
farre
to
inspire
the
soule
of
man
with
the
grace
of
his
holy
spirite
,
as
that
being
by
the
heauenly
power
thereof
,
Drawen
from
the
worlde
to
beholde
the
courses
of
higher
comforts
,
when
leauing
the
delights
of
fading
vanities
,
he
shall
be
rauished
with
the
pleasures
of
eternall
life
.
Then
may
he
saye
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
(
entring
into
the
contemplatiue
consideration
that
may
well
be
called
the
admiration
of
the
greatnes
and
goodnes
of
God
)
as
it
is
written
,
in
the
8.
Psalme
verse
3.
Lord
when
I
consider
the
heauens
,
the
Moone
and
the
Starres
that
thou
hast
made
,
what
is
man
(
say
I
)
that
thou
wilt
looke
vpon
him
?
yea
let
me
saye
vnto
thee
(
Oh
man
)
if
thou
couldest
with
an
humble
spirit
looke
into
the
greatnes
of
the
goodnes
of
God
in
the
power
of
his
creation
,
in
the
wisdome
of
his
workemanshippe
,
in
the
preseruation
by
his
grace
,
and
in
the
increase
,
by
his
blessing
:
if
with
all
this
thou
couldest
note
the
difference
of
Heauen
and
earth
,
the
brightnesse
of
the
heauens
,
&
the
darkenesse
of
the
world
:
the
purenesse
of
the
Sunne
and
Moone
and
Starres
,
and
the
dimnes
of
the
obscured
light
of
earthly
natures
:
the
perfection
of
the
Angells
,
and
the
corruption
of
man
;
the
glorie
of
the
diuine
,
and
the
disgrace
of
our
humaine
nature
:
well
mightest
thou
say
to
thy selfe
,
oh
what
am
I
?
a
worme
,
dust
&
ashes
,
&
a
substance
of
all
foule
and
filthy
corruption
,
that
my
GOD
,
the
pure
and
bright
,
gratious
,
holy
,
good
,
and
glotious
essence
of
the
incomprehensible
Deitie
,
will
vouchsafe
to
cast
downe
the
least
looke
of
his
mercie
vppon
me
?
Since
therfore
there
is
nothing
that
can
be
so
truely
pleasing
to
the
spirit
of
man
,
as
knowledge
,
neither
is
there
any
thing
well
knowne
but
by
the
true
consideration
of
the
substance
,
nature
or
qualitie
thereof
:
let
me
begin
to
enter
into
this
necessary
course
of
consideration
,
in
which
we
shall
finde
what
is
most
necessary
,
fit
and
conuenient
,
for
the
vse
,
profit
,
pleasure
,
and
honor
of
man
;
that
the
obiect
of
the
eye
,
considered
by
the
sence
of
the
spirit
,
the
substance
digested
by
the
power
of
reason
,
nature
may
finde
most
comfort
in
the
vertue
of
the
application
.
Touching
Consideration
in
generall
.
FIrst
,
and
aboue
all
things
,
we
are
to
consider
what
is
aboue
all
things
to
be
considered
;
then
for
the
excellencie
of
the
goodnes
in
it selfe
;
and
last
,
for
the
good
that
from
it
wee
receiue
:
for
in
the
instinct
of
nature
wee
haue
planted
in
ourselues
an
insatiable
desire
of
knowledge
,
whereby
we
finde
in
our selues
,
somewhat
more
then
our selues
,
leading
vs
to
a
longing
after
somewhat
aboue
our selues
,
which
if
by
a
light
inlightning
our
mindes
we
be
led
out
of
the
darkenes
of
our
blinded
sence
of
nature
,
to
the
cleare
beholding
of
the
glorious
brightnes
of
Gods
graces
,
wee
shall
see
that
in
him
onely
and
altogether
,
is
the
infinite
goodnes
and
incomprehensible
greatnes
of
all
perfect
knowledge
,
and
knowledge
of
all
perfection
;
and
that
so
much
neerer
commeth
our
nature
vnto
the
diuine
:
as
by
the
light
of
grace
wee
feele
in
our selues
,
an
apprehension
or
participation
of
those
graces
,
that
essentially
doe
onely
dwell
,
and
are
inheritant
in
the
diuine
nature
.
To
come
to
a
plainer
explanation
of
the
first
due
point
of
consideration
:
euery
thing
is
to
be
desired
for
some
good
that
it
doth
containe
in
it
selfe
,
and
may
bring
vnto
other
:
the
goodnes
therefore
of
euery
thing
,
must
be
considered
before
the
thing
it selfe
be
effected
.
Then
if
good
be
for
the
goodnes
desired
;
the
better
that
the
good
is
,
the
more
it
is
to
be
desired
,
and
so
the
best
good
for
the
best
goodnes
to
be
best
and
most
desired
.
Now
who
is
so
euill
,
that
hath
the
least
sparkle
of
Gods
grace
,
but
by
the
light
of
the
same
,
doth
see
in
the
wonder
of
his
works
,
the
glory
of
his
goodnes
?
but
leauing
al
doubts
,
ther
is
no
doubt
to
be
made
,
that
God
is
in
himselfe
the
essence
of
all
goodnes
,
the
first
moouer
,
the
continuall
actor
,
and
the
infinite
furnisher
of
all
good
,
in
thought
,
word
&
deed
;
where
,
when
,
&
in
whatsoeuer
:
this
first
position
then
granted
that
god
is
only
good
&
the
onely
essence
of
al
goodnes
,
what
obiection
can
be
made
,
why
he
should
not
be
aboue
all
things
to
be
desired
,
humblie
to
be
affected
,
faithfully
to
be
loued
,
louingly
to
be
serued
,
duly
to
be
obeyed
,
and
infinitely
to
be
glorified
?
for
the
Athists
,
whom
the
Psalmist
calleth
fooles
,
Psalme
,
53.
verse
1.
that
said
in
their
hearts
there
is
no
God
,
because
they
knowe
no
good
,
I
saie
nothing
to
them
,
but
their
soules
shal
finde
there
1
a
Deuill
that
taught
them
,
and
will
reward
them
for
their
euill●
but
for
them
that
knowe
there
is
a
God
,
and
haue
a
feeling
of
his
goodnesse
,
in
the
comfort
of
his
grace
:
let
me
a
little
speake
vnto
them
touching
the
pointes
that
I
meane
to
speake
of
in
the
considaration
of
the
greatnesse
of
God
aboue
all
thinges
,
and
for
which
for
all
thinges
in
all
,
&
aboue
all
thinges
hee
is
to
be
admired
,
loued
,
and
honoured
:
and
first
touching
the
greatnesse
of
God
.
The
first
consideration
touching
the
greatnesse
of
of
God
.
TO
consider
the
greatnesse
of
God
,
at
least
that
greatnesse
in
which
himselfe
only
knoweth
himselfe
is
incomprehensible
,
&
therfore
aboue
the
power
of
contemplation
,
meditation
,
&
consideration
of
man
or
Angelles
whatsoeuer
;
for
in
the
maiestie
of
his
power
,
hee
is
incomprehensible
in
his
wisdome
;
vnsearchable
in
his
graces
;
incomparable
,
and
in
his
glorye
infinite
:
in
all
which
he
doth
so
far
exceede
the
compasse
of
all
consideration
,
as
in
the
humilitie
of
confession
must
be
left
only
to
admiration
;
But
for
so
much
as
of
his
mercie
he
hath
left
to
our
contemplation
,
let
vs
with
such
humilitie
consider
thereof
,
as
may
be
to
his
glory
and
our
comfort
.
Touching
therefore
his
greatnesse
,
let
vs
humbly
lift
vp
the
eyes
of
our
hearts
to
the
beholding
of
those
thinges
,
that
in
the
excellent
great
workmanship
of
the
same
,
wee
may
finde
that
there
is
a
further
greatnes
,
then
wee
can
euer
finde
againe
.
Let
vs
consider
in
the
Creation
of
al
creatures
,
his
admirable
power
,
who
but
spak
the
word
&
they
were
made
;
oh
powerfull
word
,
by
which
all
thinges
were
created
;
and
if
his
word
was
so
powerfull
,
how
much
more
powerfull
is
he
that
gaue
such
power
vnto
his
word
?
loath
I
am
to
enter
into
particularities
,
to
set
downe
the
greatenesse
of
his
power
,
though
the
least
of
his
workes
shewe
not
a
little
,
and
the
greatest
of
his
workes
shew
but
a
little
of
that
greatnes
which
his
glory
doth
contain
;
where
such
varieties
as
well
of
the
formes
,
as
natures
of
creatures
,
aswell
in
their
differences
as
agreement
,
in
number
so
innumerable
,
as
prooue
an
infinitenes
in
the
power
of
their
creation
,
yet
when
the
greatest
of
all
things
vnder
the
heauens
,
yea
the
heauens
themselues
shall
waxe
olde
as
doth
a
garment
,
and
(
as
a
vesture
)
shal
be
changed
,
how
great
is
his
power
,
who
shall
loose
no
part
of
his
grace
,
but
increase
infinitely
in
his
glory
?
Who
hath
spand
the
heauens
but
the
finger
of
his
hand
?
who
hath
settled
the
earth
but
the
word
of
his
mouth
?
who
hath
digged
the
greate
deep
,
but
the
wisdome
of
his
will
?
Looke
vp
the
heauens
,
they
are
the
works
of
his
hands
:
look
downe
to
the
earth
,
it
is
the
worke
of
his
word
:
beholde
the
Seas
how
they
are
obedient
to
his
will
:
now
to
beholde
in
the
Sunne
the
light
of
the
daye
,
the
Moone
and
the
Starres
;
as
it
were
the
lampes
of
the
night
;
yet
these
so
keepe
their
courses
in
a
continuall
order
,
that
one
is
not
hurtfull
to
another
,
but
all
and
euery
one
in
their
seruice
to
man
,
performe
their
dueties
to
their
Creator
:
Doth
not
the
consideration
of
these
obiectes
to
our
eyes
,
strike
an
impression
in
our
hearts
of
an
admirable
power
in
the
greatnesse
of
his
workmanship
?
Again
,
to
behold
the
thicke
cloudes
,
whereby
the
Sun
is
obscured
,
the
boisterous
&
tempestious
windes
,
wherby
the
highest
Caedars
are
shaken
,
and
the
terrible
lightning
and
thunders
,
that
amaze
the
hearts
of
the
beholders
:
are
not
these
great
proofes
of
a
great
power
?
But
let
vs
looke
downe
a
little
lower
vppon
the
earth
,
and
consider
how
it
is
possible
that
so
great
and
huge
a
Masse
shold
be
carried
in
such
a
circumference
;
Again
,
the
world
of
great
&
huge
trees
in
the
woods
,
with
great
and
strange
wilde
beastes
in
the
wildernes
;
the
one
to
beare
fruit
,
the
other
to
feede
and
breede
,
as
it
were
to
an
infinite
increase
,
&
yet
place
and
foode
enough
for
all
.
Again
,
to
beholde
the
raging
Seas
how
they
roare
against
the
bankes
of
the
earth
,
to
whose
boundes
they
are
limitted
:
&
to
consider
of
the
great
&
huge
fishes
that
make
their
walks
in
these
watry
pathes
:
are
not
all
these
,
spectacles
,
great
aparant
proofes
,
of
a
moste
great
and
admirable
power
?
Again
,
to
note
the
great
and
stout
Foules
,
that
with
the
force
of
their
winges
make
their
passage
through
the
ayre
,
&
yet
neither
the
lights
of
the
heauens
,
the
creatures
in
the
earth
,
nor
seas
,
nor
birds
in
the
ayre
,
shall
longer
retain
their
places
,
then
standeth
with
the
pleasure
of
the
Almightie
:
Oh
how
admirable
is
that
greatnes
to
whom
all
things
are
in
such
obedience
,
which
in
him
onely
hauing
their
being
,
are
onely
at
his
will
in
their
disposing
?
But
let
me
come
a
little
lower
to
thee
:
Oh
man
,
compounded
of
the
worst
matter
,
the
very
slyme
of
the
Earth
,
how
great
a
power
is
in
thy
God
that
hath
created
thee
,
not
by
his
worde
onely
(
as
he
did
all
other
creatures
in
the
Earth
)
but
aboue
them
all
in
a
Diuine
nature
of
grace
;
so
neere
vnto
himselfe
,
as
that
he
woulde
in
the
greatnes
of
his
loue
,
cal
thee
his
Image
,
&
to
this
Image
of
himselfe
,
giue
so
great
a
power
ouer
all
his
creatures
,
that
both
Sunne
,
Moone
,
and
Starres
in
the
heauens
,
the
beasts
in
the
fielde
,
the
birdes
in
the
aire
,
the
fishes
in
the
Sea
,
the
Trees
in
the
woods
,
and
the
mineralles
in
the
earth
,
shoulde
all
be
subiect
to
the
disposing
of
thy
discretion
&
obedient
to
thy
commaund
.
Hath
he
not
made
the
great
horse
to
cary
thee
,
the
great
Lyon
to
be
led
by
thee
,
the
Beare
,
the
Wolfe
,
the
Tygre
and
the
Dogge
,
yea
withall
other
beastes
,
to
stand
affraid
at
the
frowne
of
thy
countenance
?
yea
doth
he
not
coward
their
spirits
to
become
seruiceable
to
thy
commaund
?
doth
not
the
Faulcon
stoope
her
pitch
to
come
downe
to
thy
fist
,
and
make
her
fight
at
the
Fowle
,
to
feede
thy
hunger
or
pleasure
?
doth
not
the
Dog
leaue
his
kennell
,
and
make
his
course
at
the
Deere
for
thy
food
or
thy
sport
?
doth
not
the
fish
come
out
of
the
deepe
waters
and
hang
vppon
thy
baite
,
for
thy
profit
or
thy
pleasures
?
&
what
a
greatnesse
is
this
to
haue
this
commaund
ouer
so
many
creatures
?
but
againe
,
consider
withall
how
much
greater
is
that
infinite
greatnesse
in
thy
Creator
,
that
hath
giuen
such
greatnesse
to
his
Creature
.
Againe
,
consider
withall
,
the
greatnesse
of
his
glorie
,
and
glorye
of
his
greatnesse
,
that
his
Angelles
tremble
at
his
brightnesse
:
if
hee
touch
the
hilles
they
shall
smoake
,
and
the
Mountaines
shall
melt
at
his
presence
,
and
no
man
can
see
him
and
liue
:
so
greate
is
his
Brightnesse
,
as
no
eye
can
beholde
:
so
pure
his
essence
,
as
exceedes
the
sence
of
nature
:
so
deepe
his
wisdome
,
as
is
vnsearchable
in
reason
:
&
so
infinit
his
perfection
,
as
surpasseth
the
power
of
consideration
:
and
therefore
let
vs
consider
,
that
in
regarde
of
that
Almightie
power
,
in
his
greatnesse
the
greatest
:
yea
,
and
all
power
without
him
is
so
greate
a
smalnesse
as
nothing
can
be
lesse
.
Againe
,
let
vs
in
admiration
of
his
greatnes
,
and
knowledge
of
his
goodnes
,
consider
whom
we
are
to
thinke
on
,
how
we
are
to
thinke
of
him
,
what
we
are
to
thinke
of
our selues
without
him
,
and
what
we
are
onely
in
him
:
For
the
first
,
whom
we
are
to
thinke
on
,
is
the
incomprehensible
Maiestie
of
all
powers
,
the
biginner
of
all
times
,
the
Creator
of
all
thinges
,
the
Commaunder
of
al
natures
,
the
disposer
of
al
properties
,
the
life
of
all
beings
,
and
the
endles
glory
of
al
graces
:
absolute
in
his
power
,
resolute
in
his
will
,
incomparable
in
his
wisdome
,
and
admirable
in
his
worke
:
thus
I
saye
,
let
vs
consider
whome
wee
are
to
thinke
of
,
not
a
Creature
but
a
Creator
:
not
a
King
,
but
a
King
of
Kinges
;
not
a
power
,
but
a
power
of
powers
;
and
not
an
Angell
but
GOD
:
now
howe
shall
wee
thinke
of
him
?
with
feare
and
trembling
,
and
remember
the
sayings
of
Mathew
,
Chapter
10.
verse
28.
Feare
not
him
that
can
destroy
the
bodie
,
but
feare
him
that
can
destroye
both
body
and
soule
.
And
therefore
when
wee
fall
into
sinne
,
let
vs
feare
the
greatnesse
of
his
wrath
,
and
the
greate
power
in
his
furie
:
for
though
hee
fedde
Elias
in
the
Wildernesse
by
the
Rauens
,
and
preserued
Daniel
in
the
Den
from
the
Lyons
,
made
the
Dogges
licke
the
sores
of
Lazarus
,
and
made
the
Sunne
to
stay
his
course
at
the
prayer
of
Iosuah
,
yet
,
with
the
wicked
he
maketh
his
Creature
in
the
vengeance
of
his
wrath
,
tooke
another
course
,
for
the
Lyons
deuoured
the
false
Prophets
:
The
Beares
came
out
of
the
wood
to
destroy
the
children
that
mocked
the
Prophet
:
the
dogs
fed
vppon
Iesabell
,
and
the
darkenesse
blinded
the
Sodomites
,
till
fire
came
downe
from
Heauen
to
consume
them
.
Consider
therfore
(
I
say
)
whom
wee
are
to
thinke
on
?
in
one
word
which
concludeth
all
that
can
be
spoken
,
God
&
not
man
:
for
in
God
is
all
greatnesse
,
without
whome
the
greatest
of
all
powers
,
is
but
the
power
of
all
smallnesse
:
but
since
so
great
is
his
greatnesse
euerie
way
,
as
is
no
way
to
be
comprehended
,
let
vs
onely
know
and
acknowledge
his
infinitenes
therin
to
be
such
,
as
we
must
humbly
leaue
to
admiration
,
and
say
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
Psalme
.
1●6
.
vers.
26.
Praise
yee
the
God
of
heauen
for
his
mercie
endureth
for
euer
.
Now
let
vs
see
what
wee
are
without
him
;
as
bubbles
of
water
that
breakes
in
an
instant
:
or
a
blasted
flower
ere
it
bee
out
of
the
bud
:
the
shame
of
nature
:
meate
for
Dogges
:
fuell
for
fire
:
out-lawes
from
Heauen
,
and
Prisoners
for
Hell
.
Oh
fearefull
state
of
such
as
feare
not
God
:
feare
therefore
the
greatnes
of
his
wrath
,
least
you
be
consumed
in
the
greatnes
of
his
fury
.
Now
what
are
wee
to
thinke
of
our selues
in
him
,
the
chosen
vessels
of
grace
,
the
comaunders
of
all
earthly
powers
,
the
compagnions
of
his
Saints
▪
coheires
in
the
heauenly
Kingdome
,
&
brethren
with
his
blessed
Sonne
and
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
:
thus
greate
doth
his
greatnes
make
his
,
both
in
this
world
,
&
in
the
worlde
to
come
:
and
thus
much
for
the
first
pointe
of
consideration
of
the
greatnes
of
God
.
Touching
the
goodnesse
of
God
the
second
Consideration
.
IT
is
a
position
infallible
,
that
of
goodnes
can
come
nothing
but
good
:
God
then
being
the
onely
&
euer
true
and
pure
essence
of
al
goodnes
,
of
him
what
can
be
spoken
but
all
good
?
is
it
not
written
,
that
whatsoeuer
he
created
,
hee
sawe
that
it
was
good
?
and
hauing
made
man
to
his
owne
Image
,
the
best
good
,
how
did
he
shew
to
him
his
exceeding
goodnes
,
in
giuing
him
dominion
ouer
al
his
good
creatures
?
onely
the
Tree
of
life
excepted
,
which
though
in
it selfe
it
was
good
,
yet
in
that
he
knew
it
was
not
good
for
man
to
meddle
with
,
hee
forbad
him
to
taste
of
the
fruite
therof
;
&
this
good
warning
his
good
God
gaue
him
,
that
there
might
nothing
but
good
come
to
him
:
but
we
may
well
say
there
is
nothing
good
but
God
;
it
is
the
worde
of
truth
spoken
by
the
Lord
of
life
.
Our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
when
the
Pharises
called
him
good
Maister
,
his
answer
was
,
why
call
you
me
good
?
there
is
none
good
but
God
:
And
if
the
only
begotten
Son
of
God
wold
not
be
called
good
,
how
can
this
title
of
good
,
be
properly
giuen
to
any
of
his
creatures
?
though
it
pleased
him
to
say
that
he
sawe
euery
thing
was
good
that
hee
created
,
yet
it
was
good
onely
respectiuely
as
it
came
from
his
goodnes
,
and
onely
effectiuely
as
might
serue
to
his
glory
:
for
though
the
spirite
of
man
by
the
grace
of
the
holy
Ghost
doe
participate
with
the
great
blessing
of
God
,
which
from
his
goodnes
proceeding
,
cannot
be
but
good
;
yet
onely
and
altogether
in
God
doth
abide
and
dwell
that
pure
essence
&
Eternall
goodnes
,
which
may
onely
make
him
be
iustly
and
properly
called
good
.
Now
all
goodnes
being
in
him
and
of
him
,
and
whatsoeuer
is
or
may
be
in
any
part
thought
,
or
called
good
,
must
be
onely
in
respect
of
God
,
the
onely
giuer
of
the
same
:
and
whatsoeuer
good
we
receiue
,
is
things
good
,
&
all
the
good
that
he
created
for
the
good
vse
of
man
,
that
good
knowledge
,
knowledge
of
goodnes
,
and
goodnes
of
knowledge
,
the
perfection
whereof
is
onely
in
himselfe
,
and
the
participation
wherof
shold
be
in
none
but
the
Image
of
himselfe
:
this
Image
did
hee
chuse
to
make
in
man
,
and
this
good
onely
to
bestowe
vpon
man
:
now
howsoeuer
the
Deuill
by
corruption
of
temptation
,
hath
drawen
away
the
hearts
of
those
outward
men
which
retaine
in
their
soules
small
or
no
parte
of
the
Image
of
God
,
vnto
the
delight
of
euill
,
yet
those
men
that
are
touched
with
the
least
parte
of
Gods
grace
,
haue
not
onely
a
hatefull
loathing
of
the
nature
of
euill
,
but
a
longing
desire
after
good
,
and
a
delight
in
the
good
of
the
desire
of
that
good
that
they
long
after
:
Man
being
therefore
by
the
goodnes
of
God
elected
for
his
best
creature
,
his
best
seruant
and
coheire
with
his
onely
beloued
Sonne
in
his
heauenly
Kingdome
:
hee
hath
also
elected
him
to
that
knowledge
of
God
,
that
by
the
good
thereof
,
may
breede
in
him
the
greefe
of
sinne
,
vnto
which
by
corruption
he
is
a
subiect
,
and
a
neuer-satisfied
desire
to
enioye
the
good
that
by
faith
he
is
assured
to
come
vnto
:
now
as
he
hath
elected
man
onely
,
and
aboue
all
his
creatures
to
this
knowledge
of
good
,
which
he
did
as
it
were
chuse
out
of
all
his
blessings
,
to
bestow
onely
vpon
man
,
so
did
he
withall
giue
him
knowledge
how
to
come
to
the
possession
of
that
good
,
to
which
onely
he
is
elected
:
Oh
how
infinit
a
goodnes
is
this
in
God
towards
vs
,
in
this
gratious
benefit
of
our
election
!
oh
what
heart
can
(
without
the
rauishing
ioy
of
the
soule
)
think
vpon
this
goodnes
of
God
towards
man
,
that
(
as
I
aforesaid
)
hauing
chosen
him
for
his
best
creature
,
his
best
seruant
and
coheire
,
with
his
bestand
onely
beloued
Son
,
he
did
not
only
inspire
his
soule
with
an
especiall
knowledge
aboue
all
other
creatures
,
but
with
this
knowledge
of
good
,
a
knowledge
likewise
of
a
direct
way
to
come
vnto
it
;
which
waie
is
not
to
be
sought
in
a
strange
country
,
nor
among
the
Saints
or
Angells
,
but
euen
here
at
home
,
and
in
his
holy
word
,
and
that
waie
to
be
onely
founde
,
by
the
faith
of
that
grace
,
that
in
the
good
creatures
of
God
doth
onely
worke
to
his
glorie
:
in
somme
,
when
hee
himselfe
is
both
the
waie
to
life
,
and
the
life
of
the
faithfull
.
What
an
excellent
comfort
is
this
in
one
worde
,
one
truth
,
and
one
Christe
;
to
seeke
and
finde
the
waie
to
our
is
from
the
aboundance
of
his
mercie
,
and
for
the
which
wee
are
bounde
in
all
humilitie
to
giue
him
glory
:
let
vs
acknowledge
all
goodnes
to
be
onely
in
him
,
and
himselfe
the
glorious
Essence
of
the
same
:
consider
with
thankefulness
the
good
that
vnworthylye
wee
receiue
from
him
.
First
let
vs
thinke
on
the
goodnes
of
God
,
in
out
election
,
that
being
the
worst
matter
to
worke
vpon
,
hee
would
show
the
best
of
his
working
,
in
framing
a
substance
to
the
Image
of
himselfe
:
can
there
be
any
thing
so
good
vnto
man
as
to
be
made
the
Image
of
God
?
and
when
in
the
righteousness
of
the
soule
,
which
is
the
best
goodnes
in
man
,
wee
be
most
like
vnto
God
?
what
glory
are
we
to
giue
vnto
him
,
who
ingrafteth
in
our
hearts
such
a
loue
vnto
righteousnes
,
and
such
a
righteous
loue
vnto
his
grace
,
as
that
by
the
vertue
thereof
we
become
as
it
were
members
of
his
sacred
body
,
&
branches
of
the
Tree
of
life
:
Consider
I
say
thus
,
first
the
goodnes
of
God
in
our
election
from
the
slime
of
the
earth
,
the
worst
matter
in
the
world
to
worke
vpon
,
to
be
the
best
and
fairest
of
his
works
in
the
world
:
and
all
earthly
things
to
endure
but
their
time
,
in
the
course
of
their
liues
,
man
onely
in
his
grace
to
liue
for
euer
:
in
himselfe
,
he
is
onely
all
goodnesse
,
and
from
whome
onely
being
onely
good
,
we
receiue
this
first
good
of
our
election
:
how
great
a
proofe
of
the
glorious
essence
of
the
goodnesse
in
God
is
this
?
that
not
by
perswasion
of
Angelles
,
nor
the
merrite
of
any
power
of
nature
,
this
free
election
of
man
aboue
all
creatures
,
&
vnder
him
to
be
Lord
ouer
them
,
fell
vnto
vs
by
the
onely
gratious
working
of
his
holy
wil
to
his
onely
infinite
glory
&
our
vnspeakable
comfort
:
Now
let
vs
againe
consider
a
further
goodnes
,
that
from
his
grace
we
receiue
in
our
election
,
not
onely
to
be
made
the
best
best
of
his
creatures
,
but
to
serue
him
with
such
loue
that
wee
maic
liue
with
him
in
glory
:
he
hath
not
onely
chosen
vs
for
his
best
creatures
,
but
also
for
his
best
seruants
;
yea
his
beloued
sonnes
,
and
not
onely
sonnes
,
but
coheires
with
his
blessed
Sonne
in
the
heauenly
kingdome
:
he
hath
chosen
vs
before
the
worlde
,
to
preserue
vs
in
the
worlde
,
and
to
take
vs
out
of
the
worlde
to
eternall
ioyes
aboue
the
worlde
:
Oh
what
tongue
can
expresse
the
greatnes
of
this
his
goodnes
towards
vs
,
besides
the
infinite
comforts
,
graces
and
blessings
,
that
euer
in
this
life
he
bestoweth
vpon
vs
?
hee
created
all
things
could
giue
him
nothng
to
perswade
or
allure
him
to
make
vs
to
his
Image
,
being
created
:
we
were
so
poore
,
that
wee
had
nothing
but
what
he
gaue
vs
,
&
therfore
could
giue
him
nothing
for
our
creation
:
when
hee
had
giuen
vs
dominion
ouer
his
creatures
,
what
could
wee
giue
him
but
what
was
his
owne
,
and
whereof
he
had
no
neede
,
but
might
commaunde
at
his
will
?
naie
more
,
what
did
man
giue
him
but
vnthankfulnesse
in
being
disobedient
to
his
commaundement
?
and
lastly
being
fallen
through
sinne
,
so
farre
from
the
state
of
grace
that
there
was
no
meanes
but
the
death
of
his
dearest
Sonne
and
our
Sauiour
,
for
our
redemtion
:
what
could
wee
giue
him
hauing
nothing
?
and
if
we
had
had
al
the
worlde
it
was
but
his
owne
,
and
as
nothing
to
recompence
this
admirable
point
of
his
goodnes
in
our
redemption
:
Consider
then
for
our
election
we
could
giue
him
nothing
,
and
therefore
it
was
only
of
his
grace
:
for
our
creation
we
had
nothing
to
giue
him
,
for
we
had
nothing
but
what
he
gaue
vs
:
for
our
redemtion
the
least
drop
of
the
pretious
Bloud
of
his
deere
beloued
Sonne
,
was
more
worth
then
the
whole
worlde
:
Oh
then
thinke
wee
coulde
giue
him
nothing
worthy
of
so
greate
a
loue
as
to
dye
for
vs
:
with
the
grace
of
his
holy
spirite
hee
doth
sanctifie
vs
,
and
who
can
thinke
or
dare
presume
to
buy
that
glorious
blessing
of
him
,
shall
with
Symon
Magus
perish
in
the
horror
of
such
a
sinne
,
the
least
sparke
of
his
grace
,
being
more
worth
then
the
whole
worlde
;
and
the
worlde
all
his
,
and
man
but
a
creature
in
the
worlde
.
Againe
,
for
our
iustification
,
his
onely
righteousnesse
in
his
life
and
death
,
his
patience
,
and
his
Passion
,
is
the
onely
substance
of
our
iustification
:
for
as
wee
are
iustified
by
faith
in
his
Bloud
,
an
effect
of
grace
in
the
inspiration
of
his
holy
spirite
:
so
is
that
pretious
Bloud
of
his
,
the
glorious
ground
of
our
beleife
,
whereby
onely
wee
are
iustified
:
our
election
then
from
grace
,
our
creation
in
grace
,
our
redemption
by
grace
,
out
sanctification
by
grace
,
our
iustification
by
grace
,
and
our
glorification
by
grace
:
what
hath
the
world
,
or
man
,
if
he
had
the
whole
worlde
to
purchase
the
least
parte
of
the
glory
that
the
onely
goodnesse
of
God
hath
in
his
mercie
ordained
and
reserued
for
the
good
of
man
?
Let
then
no
man
be
so
blinde
or
blinded
with
the
mist
of
arrogancie
,
as
to
runne
into
merite
in
himselfe
,
or
to
mingle
our
saluation
?
Oh
let
vs
a
little
consider
,
how
many
are
the
sundry
,
yea
and
infinite
varieties
of
God
,
that
by
the
goodnes
of
our
election
wee
receiue
from
the
mercie
of
the
Almightie
:
first
to
be
created
to
his
owne
Image
,
to
be
inspired
with
a
Diuine
knowledge
aboue
all
his
creatures
,
to
haue
dominion
ouer
so
many
creatures
,
to
be
feareles
of
damnation
by
the
assurance
of
our
election
to
saluation
,
to
vse
the
things
of
the
world
,
as
if
wee
had
them
not
,
to
accompt
the
worlde
with
all
the
pompe
and
pride
thereof
,
but
as
vanitie
,
to
haue
a
loathing
of
sinne
,
and
a
loue
to
vertue
,
to
be
furnished
of
what
is
necessarie
to
be
deffended
from
euill
,
preserued
from
hurt
,
to
dread
no
danger
,
to
be
weary
of
the
worlde
,
and
longe
to
be
with
Christ
:
To
speake
of
the
goodnes
of
his
bountie
dayly
bestowed
vpon
his
creatures
,
as
beautie
to
some
,
strength
to
other
,
to
other
wealth
,
to
other
wisdome
,
to
other
honour
,
to
other
diuine
inspirations
;
these
I
say
are
no
small
causes
to
make
vs
consider
of
his
goodnesse
towards
vs
:
but
aboue
all
,
to
giue
vs
himselfe
,
in
his
loue
to
bee
with
vs
,
with
his
grace
to
guide
vs
,
with
his
power
to
defend
vs
,
with
his
word
to
instruct
vs
,
&
with
his
holy
spirit
to
inspite
vs
:
to
finde
the
way
made
for
vs
to
our
eternal
ioyes
that
none
shall
take
from
vs
,
to
which
before
the
worldes
&
world
without
end
,
he
hath
only
elected
vs
:
oh
man
how
canst
thou
thinke
humblie
enough
,
thankfully
enough
,
and
ioyfully
enough
of
the
goodnes
of
thy
God
,
in
this
good
of
thy
election
?
in
summe
what
goodnes
can
be
greater
vnto
vs
,
then
to
know
that
God
to
his
dearest
loue
through
his
beloued
only
dearly
Son
Iesus
Christ
,
hath
elected
vs
,
&
as
it
were
chosen
his
loue
aboue
al
his
creatures
,
in
his
Son
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
,
to
be
bestowed
vpon
vs
;
i●
that
loue
to
liue
with
vs
,
and
that
euer-liuing
loue
neuer
to
leaue
vs
here
on
earth
;
with
his
infinite
blessings
in
his
gratious
goodness
to
comfort
vs
,
and
in
heauen
to
reserue
a
Crowne
of
glory
for
vs
,
to
create
vs
when
we
were
not
,
to
redeeme
vs
being
lost
,
to
preserue
vs
from
destruction
,
to
giue
his
deerest
Sonne
to
death
for
our
sinnes
,
to
assure
vs
of
saluation
,
and
to
receiue
vs
to
glory
.
All
this
did
hee
,
and
all
good
that
euer
was
,
is
,
or
euer
will
or
can
be
,
for
vs
,
to
shew
and
make
vs
consider
of
his
goodnes
towards
vs
:
for
let
vs
in
breefe
a
littltle
consider
how
freely
,
and
onely
of
his
grace
hee
hath
thus
made
manifest
his
vnspe●kable
goodnes
in
this
our
election
,
when
wee
were
not
:
wee
gle
his
corrupt
actions
with
the
pure
merite
of
Christe
Iesus
for
his
saluation
;
but
say
with
Iob
all
our
righteousnesse
is
as
a
filthie
cloth
,
and
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
Psalme
116.
verses
11.
12.
meditating
vppon
the
greatnesse
of
his
goodnes
towards
him
,
what
shall
I
giue
the
Lord
for
all
that
hee
hath
done
vnto
me
?
I
will
take
the
Cuppe
of
Saluation
,
and
be
thankfull
to
the
Lord
:
see
here
all
that
wee
are
,
and
all
that
wee
can
giue
him
for
all
the
good
that
wee
receiue
from
him
,
bare
thanks
:
and
yet
as
much
as
hee
requireth
,
and
more
then
from
a
great
many
(
the
more
their
shame
)
hee
receiueth
.
But
let
those
that
feele
these
great
effects
of
grace
in
the
goodnes
of
the
liuing
God
,
say
with
the
holy
Prophet
,
Psalme
136.
verse
1.
be
thankfull
to
the
Lord
,
and
speake
good
of
his
name
,
for
his
mercie
endureth
for
euer
:
but
since
so
infinite
is
his
goodnes
in
all
things
and
to
al
things
,
and
specially
to
man
aboue
all
things
,
let
me
onely
wish
al
men
for
their
own
good
,
to
acknowledge
all
goodnes
onely
to
bee
in
the
Lord
,
the
onely
Author
and
substance
thereof
;
&
whatsoeuer
is
good
in
heauen
or
earth
,
is
onely
a
free
guifte
of
his
grace
,
that
must
onely
work
to
his
glory
;
the
election
of
man
to
be
an
effect
of
loue
in
the
grace
of
his
goodnes
,
and
not
to
dreame
of
merite
,
but
to
giue
glory
vnto
mercie
,
for
the
benefit
of
such
a
blessing
,
as
being
freely
giuen
to
man
,
through
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
by
his
merite
,
is
onely
confirmed
to
the
eternitie
of
his
glory
:
and
thus
much
touching
the
goodnes
of
God
.
Touching
the
wisdome
of
God
the
third
Consideration
.
TO
speake
of
the
wisdome
of
God
,
is
so
farre
aboue
the
capacitie
of
man
,
that
it
is
rather
with
all
humble
reuerence
to
be
honored
and
admired
,
then
either
to
be
spoken
of
or
considered
:
yet
for
so
much
as
the
creature
doth
giue
glorye
to
his
Creator
,
in
praising
and
with
admiration
beholding
the
excellent
workmanshippe
in
the
varietie
of
his
workes
,
and
finding
it
so
farre
aboue
the
reach
of
reason
,
as
must
noedes
proceede
from
a
vertue
of
diuine
grace
,
hee
doth
in
contemplation
acknowledge
a
wisdome
of
that
excellencie
,
that
maketh
him
saie
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
in
the
104.
Psalme
24.
verse
,
Oh
how
wonderfull
are
thy
workes
?
in
wisdome
hast
thou
made
them
:
but
though
the
wisdome
of
God
as
it
is
in
it selfe
,
is
an
other
himselfe
,
and
not
to
be
comprehended
of
any
but
himselfe
,
yet
the
effectes
thereof
in
all
things
,
doe
giue
him
so
greate
a
praise
,
as
make
him
aboue
all
things
,
to
receiue
the
highest
of
all
glory
:
for
to
enter
into
particulers
,
let
vs
beginne
to
looke
into
his
creation
,
in
the
power
whereof
hee
sheweth
no
small
parte
of
wisdome
:
as
in
the
brightnes
of
the
Sun
,
Moon
,
&
Stars
,
and
the
cleernesse
of
the
skie
,
the
courses
of
the
Planets
,
&
the
motions
of
the
Celestiall
powers
:
in
the
opperations
of
the
elements
,
in
the
perfection
of
proportions
,
in
the
diuersity
of
creatures
,
in
the
wonder
of
arte
,
and
quicknesse
in
working
:
what
excellent
arte
hath
he
taught
nature
,
in
painting
all
the
Trees
,
fruits
,
and
flowres
of
the
earth
?
yea
and
all
the
haires
,
skinnes
,
feathers
,
and
scales
of
beasts
,
fowles
,
and
fishes
?
the
eeuennes
&
purenes
of
euery
one
,
of
whome
being
truly
considered
,
wil
startle
the
best
witts
in
the
due
consideration
of
that
onely
point
of
wisdome
.
Againe
,
what
a
further
secret
cunning
hath
he
taught
nature
,
in
perfuming
so
many
Trees
,
hearbs
,
and
flowres
,
all
growing
out
of
this
darke
and
dusky
earth
:
by
what
wisdome
he
doth
vnite
the
people
,
and
hauing
deuided
the
languages
,
how
hee
giues
the
meanes
of
vnderstanding
:
how
hee
makes
the
fishes
paths
,
and
the
shippes
passages
through
the
seas
,
the
birds
walkes
through
the
ayre
,
and
the
Salamanders
dwelling
in
the
fire
,
and
the
wormes
howses
in
the
earth
:
how
admirable
is
this
wisdome
that
so
worketh
all
things
by
it selfe
?
To
speake
of
the
excellency
of
Arts
,
in
the
secrecie
of
their
working
,
what
can
it
finally
approoue
but
an
admiration
of
knowledge
in
the
maister
of
them
?
But
hauing
with
Salomon
found
by
the
light
of
grace
,
and
experience
of
labor
,
that
al
things
are
vanity
,
except
onely
the
vertue
of
that
grace
,
that
enricheth
the
soule
with
inestimable
treasure
:
what
a
pointe
in
wisdome
is
this
,
not
onely
to
instruct
the
soule
of
man
in
knowledge
of
natures
,
with
their
qualities
and
effects
,
but
through
the
power
of
it selfe
to
breede
a
kinde
of
spirituall
knowledge
in
the
apprehension
of
Faith
,
that
in
contemplation
of
heauenly
treasure
,
maketh
trash
of
the
whole
worlde
.
Oh
superexellent
exllencie
in
wisdome
,
that
frameth
the
heart
vnto
the
soule
,
to
seeke
out
the
waie
of
life
,
and
in
the
prison
of
the
flesh
,
preserues
it
from
the
perill
of
infection
;
that
man
being
created
the
Image
of
perfection
,
can
neuer
be
destroyed
by
the
venome
of
corruption
,
but
in
the
daies
of
iniquitie
,
being
guided
by
grace
,
escaping
the
snares
of
hel
,
shall
fly
to
the
ioyes
of
heauen
.
Consider
that
if
man
by
the
wisdome
of
God
attaine
to
this
excellent
knowledge
,
how
to
walke
through
the
passages
of
nature
,
to
make
vse
of
them
for
his
seruice
,
to
withstand
the
temptation
of
sinne
,
to
receiue
the
instructions
of
grace
,
to
dispise
the
delights
of
the
worlde
,
to
bridle
the
affections
of
the
flesh
,
and
ouercomming
the
power
of
death
,
to
finde
the
path
vnto
life
;
if
this
I
say
,
and
more
then
can
be
said
,
by
the
instruction
of
the
diuine
wisdome
,
man
hath
power
to
attaine
vnto
,
thinke
how
infinite
is
that
wisdome
from
whome
only
commeth
the
essence
of
this
,
and
all
knowledge
:
in
whome
it
onely
liueth
,
and
without
onely
whome
all
is
but
meere
ignorance
:
And
since
it
is
written
,
that
the
beginning
of
wisdome
,
is
the
feare
of
God
;
learne
onely
that
lesson
,
and
feare
to
be
otherwise
learned
:
Paule
thought
he
knew
enough
in
Christ
,
&
him
crucified
:
and
enough
wise
shalt
thou
be
,
if
thou
canst
applie
his
knowledge
to
thy
comfort
.
But
to
returne
breifely
to
speake
of
the
wisdome
of
God
,
it
is
in
the
heauens
so
highe
,
in
the
earth
so
large
,
in
the
water
so
deep
,
in
the
aier
so
secret
,
and
in
the
fire
so
powerfull
;
in
all
things
so
exquisite
,
and
in
perfections
so
infinite
,
that
I
will
onely
in
the
admiration
thereof
,
giue
glory
to
the
same
,
and
saie
with
the
Apostle
1.
Corin.
chapter
3.
verse
19.
The
wisdome
of
the
worlde
is
foolishnesse
before
God
;
And
againe
,
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
Psalme
104.
verse
24
Oh
Lord
how
excellent
are
thy
workes
in
wisdome
hast
thou
made
them
all
.
Psalme
139.
verse
6.
Such
knowledge
is
too
excellent
for
mee
.
O
all
ye
workes
of
the
Lorde
,
praise
him
and
magnifie
him
for
euer
:
but
since
so
many
and
so
infinite
are
the
praises
that
may
worthyly
bee
giuen
vnto
it
:
I
cannot
so
leaue
off
,
but
I
must
speake
a
little
more
of
the
consideration
of
it
,
for
the
power
of
it
:
It
maketh
all
things
for
the
knowledge
of
it
,
it
knoweth
all
things
for
the
direction
of
it
,
it
ordereth
all
thinges
for
the
goodnesse
of
it
,
it
is
good
in
,
and
to
all
things
,
for
the
greatnesse
of
it
,
it
comprehendeth
all
things
for
the
grace
of
it
,
it
is
gratious
in
all
good
things
,
and
for
the
maiestie
of
it
,
it
is
glorious
aboue
all
things
:
for
in
the
power
of
it
is
the
life
of
vertue
;
in
the
life
of
it
is
the
mercie
of
loue
;
in
the
loue
of
it
is
the
blessing
of
grace
;
and
in
the
grace
of
it
,
is
the
eternitie
of
Glorie
:
who
seeketh
it
shall
finde
it
,
who
findeth
it
shall
loue
it
,
who
loueth
it
,
shall
liue
in
it
,
who
liueth
in
it
,
shall
ioy
in
it
,
and
who
so
ioyeth
in
it
,
shall
be
blessed
by
it
.
It
is
brighter
then
the
Sunne
,
purer
then
Golde
,
sweeter
then
the
honie
and
the
honie
combe
,
and
for
the
worth
of
it
,
it
is
more
worth
then
the
whole
worlde
:
it
beautifies
nature
,
it
rectifieth
reason
,
it
magnifies
grace
,
and
glorifieth
loue
:
it
loueth
humilitie
,
it
aduanc●th
vertue
,
it
enricheth
knowledge
,
and
maintaineth
honour
:
it
laboureth
in
heauen
for
such
as
from
heauen
are
preserued
for
heauen
,
to
bring
them
to
heauen
:
in
somme
,
it
is
where
it
is
the
blisse
of
nature
,
the
honour
of
reason
,
the
light
of
life
,
and
the
ioye
of
loue
.
The
elect
loue
her
,
the
Saints
honour
her
,
&
God
onely
hath
her
:
in
summe
,
so
much
may
be
said
of
her
,
and
so
much
more
good
than
can
be
said
or
thought
is
in
her
,
that
fearing
with
the
deuine
light
of
my
praise
,
to
obscure
the
glory
of
her
worthynesse
,
I
will
onely
wish
the
worlde
to
seeke
her
,
the
godly
to
finde
her
,
the
gratious
to
loue
her
,
the
vertuous
to
serue
her
,
the
faithfull
to
honour
her
,
and
all
the
creatures
in
heauen
and
earth
to
praise
her
:
and
so
much
,
touching
the
consideration
of
the
wisdome
of
God
.
The
fourth
Consideration
touching
the
loue
of
God
.
OH
:
who
coulde
with
the
eyes
of
wisdome
,
in
the
humilitie
of
the
hearte
,
looke
into
the
vertue
of
that
grace
that
liueth
in
the
loue
of
the
Almightie
,
should
finde
that
sence
of
sweetnes
,
that
should
rauish
the
soule
of
vnderstanding
:
but
though
it
bee
in
it selfe
so
gracious
,
and
in
grace
so
glorious
as
exceedeth
the
exceeding
o●
all
praise
,
yet
as
a
Mole-hill
t●
a
mountaine
,
a
Flie
to
an
Eagle
or
an
Ante
to
an
Elephant
,
le●
me
with
the
poore
widdow
put
in
my
myte
into
the
treasurie
,
in
humilitie
of
my
hear●
to
speake
of
the
life
of
my
soule
,
which
being
onely
in
the
loue
of
the
liuing
God
,
let
me
speake
a
little
in
the
consideration
of
the
same
,
that
the
vngratefull
world
seeing
their
lacke
of
grace
,
may
blush
at
their
blindnes
,
&
be
ioyful
of
a
better
light
,
where
beholding
the
beautie
that
rauisheth
the
soules
of
the
beloued
,
they
shall
find
the
loue
that
is
the
ioy
of
the
blessed
:
touching
the
which
,
let
me
by
degrees
speake
of
such
points
as
I
find
most
necessarie
in
this
consideration
:
●et
vs
first
I
say
consider
this
first
●oint
of
the
loue
of
God
,
that
●efore
we
were
created
for
his
●eruice
,
wee
were
elected
in
his
●oue
,
then
to
make
an
Image
to
it selfe
,
yea
&
as
it
were
another
it selfe
,
for
the
first
,
Romans
8.
Iacob
haue
I
loued
,
euen
before
he
had
done
good
or
euill
;
There
is
election
prooued
in
loue
.
When
the
Angell
saluted
Elizabeth
,
with
the
message
of
her
conception
,
was
it
not
of
Iohn
the
baptist
,
who
was
sent
to
pronounce
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
to
make
streight
his
way
before
him
?
and
what
greater
proofe
of
loue
,
then
to
electe
him
to
such
a
message
?
againe
,
doth
not
Christ
the
Sonne
of
God
praye
to
his
Father
,
that
as
hee
is
one
with
his
Father
,
so
his
maye
be
one
with
him
?
Oh
how
can
there
be
so
greate
a
proofe
of
the
election
of
loue
in
Christe
,
as
by
his
loue
to
be
made
one
with
him
:
Looke
I
saie
into
the
excellencie
of
this
incomparable
loue
in
God
towards
man
:
first
to
make
him
to
his
Image
,
and
not
onely
by
his
worde
(
as
by
which
he
made
all
other
creatures
)
but
as
it
were
by
a
consent
,
or
consultation
of
the
Trinitie
about
an
especiall
worke
,
to
the
pleasing
of
the
Deitie
,
as
it
is
written
:
Let
vs
make
man
in
our
owne
Image
according
to
our
likenesse
.
But
well
may
it
bee
saide
that
Nullum
simile
est
idem
,
for
though
he
were
perfect
in
respect
of
our
corruption
,
yet
by
his
fall
,
it
appeareth
that
the
creature
was
farre
shorte
of
the
perfection
of
the
Creator
:
but
being
falne
from
that
perfection
,
by
the
venome
of
temptation
,
into
the
state
of
damnation
,
how
greate
was
the
loue
of
God
,
to
effect
againe
by
himselfe
the
blessed
worke
of
his
saluation
?
for
as
it
is
written
:
GOD
so
loued
the
worlde
,
that
hee
gaue
his
onely
begotten
Sonne
to
death
,
that
all
that
beleiue
in
him
shal
be
saued
:
againe
,
looke
into
the
admirable
loue
of
Christe
to
his
beloued
,
to
come
from
the
bosome
of
his
Father
in
heauen
,
to
his
graue
in
the
earth
:
to
leaue
the
seruice
of
Angelles
,
to
be
skoffed
of
diuelish
creatures
;
to
leaue
the
ioyes
of
Paradise
for
the
sorrowes
of
the
worlde
;
to
leaue
his
Throane
in
heauen
,
for
a
maunger
on
the
earth
;
to
leaue
his
seate
of
iudgemente
,
to
suffer
death
vpon
the
crosse
:
well
might
hee
say
as
in
respect
of
his
sorrowes
for
the
sinnes
of
the
worlde
,
with
the
punishement
that
hee
was
to
endure
for
the
sinnes
of
others
,
himselfe
without
sinne
,
when
hee
felte
the
extremitie
of
those
paines
that
in
the
sweate
of
Bloud
and
water
,
prooued
the
passion
of
true
patience
,
and
the
life
of
true
loue
.
Vt
,
non
est
dolor
sicut
meus
,
sic
non
est
amor
sicut
meus
;
for
indeede
he
knoweth
not
,
nor
can
he
iudge
,
what
loue
is
that
in
his
heart
cannot
saie
in
honour
of
his
loue
,
neuer
such
loue
:
the
freinde
to
die
for
his
enemies
;
the
maister
to
die
for
his
seruants
;
the
King
to
die
for
beggers
;
the
Sonne
of
God
,
to
dye
for
the
sonne
of
man
:
well
maye
it
be
saide
neuer
such
loue
:
to
leaue
all
pleasures
to
bringe
thee
to
all
pleasures
;
to
endure
all
crosses
to
worke
thee
all
comforts
;
to
leaue
Heauen
for
a
time
to
bring
thee
to
Heauen
for
euer
.
What
art
thou
that
in
the
thought
of
such
loue
,
canst
not
saie
in
thy
heart
,
in
the
ioye
of
thy
soule
,
as
Nullus
dolor
sicut
eius
,
sic
Nullus
amor
sicuteius
:
as
no
sorrowe
is
like
to
his
,
so
no
loue
is
like
to
his
:
doth
not
hee
truely
saie
that
can
say
nothing
but
truth
?
loue
one
another
as
I
haue
loued
you
:
greater
loue
then
this
cannot
be
,
for
a
man
to
lay
downe
lyfe
for
his
beloued
:
Oh
let
vs
a
little
meditate
vpon
this
excellent
comforte
that
is
vnspeakable
in
God
towards
man
,
through
his
loue
was
man
created
the
goodlest
creature
:
&
where
al
other
creatures
haue
their
eyes
bent
downward
(
to
the
earth
,
where
they
seeke
their
foode
)
man
hath
a
face
,
looking
vpwards
toward
heauen
,
where
the
soule
seeketh
foode
aboue
the
flesh
:
Againe
,
through
the
loue
of
God
was
man
made
the
wisest
creature
,
to
know
the
varieties
of
natures
,
to
giue
names
vnto
creatures
,
to
note
the
courses
of
the
heauens
,
to
till
the
earth
,
and
make
his
pathes
through
the
seas
,
to
deuide
the
times
,
to
distinguish
of
doubts
,
to
search
into
knowledge
,
and
to
know
the
giuer
and
glory
thereof
:
Againe
,
through
the
loue
of
God
,
man
was
made
commaunder
of
all
creatures
vnder
the
Sunne
,
Lord
of
all
the
earth
,
foreseer
of
after-times
,
messenger
of
the
worde
of
God
,
student
of
Diuine
misteries
,
cheife
seruant
to
the
Lord
of
Lords
,
freinde
to
the
King
of
Kings
,
and
coheire
in
the
heauenly
kingdome
,
through
the
loue
of
God
;
hee
was
made
a
seruante
,
but
as
a
friend
,
a
brother
and
a
coheire
:
now
hee
that
thinks
on
these
pointes
of
loue
,
is
worthy
of
no
loue
if
he
cannot
say
in
his
heart
there
was
neuer
such
loue
:
hee
loued
man
in
himselfe
,
when
there
was
none
to
perswade
him
to
loue
him
but
himselfe
;
he
loued
man
as
himselfe
,
that
he
wold
haue
him
one
with
himselfe
;
yea
he
loued
man
more
if
more
could
be
then
himself
,
that
for
man
to
death
would
giue
himselfe
:
hee
made
man
louingly
,
he
blest
man
louingly
,
hee
came
to
man
louingly
,
and
dyed
for
man
most
louingly
:
in
the
beginning
hee
shewed
his
loue
without
beginning
,
and
in
the
end
will
shew
his
loue
without
ending
,
he
made
him
better
then
his
creatures
,
for
hee
made
him
Lord
ouer
them
:
hee
made
them
better
then
his
Angells
,
for
hee
made
them
to
serue
him
alittle
lower
then
himselfe
.
Psalme
8.
verse
5.
that
himself
might
chiefly
loue
him
:
see
further
his
loue
vnto
man
as
it
is
writen
,
I
say
49.

:
Can
a
Mother
forget
her
children
,
yet
wil
I
neuer
forget
thee
.
Se
heere
loue
more
tender
then
of
a
mother
,
and
more
carefull
then
of
any
other
Father
:
O
loue
of
loues
,
what
loue
is
like
to
this
loue
?
a
kingly
loue
,
which
defendeth
his
subiects
;
a
lordly
loue
,
which
rewardeth
his
seruants
;
a
friendly
loue
,
that
is
kind
to
his
friends
;
a
brotherly
loue
that
is
kinde
to
his
brothers
;
a
motherly
loue
,
that
is
tender
to
her
children
;
a
fatherly
loue
,
that
is
carefull
of
his
Sonnes
;
and
a
Godly
loue
,
that
is
gratious
to
his
creatures
;
a
faithfull
loue
that
neuer
fainteth
;
a
bountifull
loue
that
euer
giueth
;
a
mercifull
loue
that
neuer
grudgeth
,
a
pitifull
loue
that
euer
releiueth
;
a
mindefull
loue
,
that
neuer
forgetteth
;
a
gracefull
loue
that
euer
loueth
.
Now
who
can
enter
into
the
true
and
due
consideration
of
loue
,
worthy
louing
,
&
in
the
thought
of
this
loue
,
will
not
euer
confesse
there
was
neuer
such
loue
?
which
regardeth
nothing
but
loue
:
oh
how
did
God
loue
Abraham
for
shewing
his
loue
in
Isaack
?
where
God
regarding
more
his
will
then
his
worke
,
would
not
suffer
the
sacrifice
of
his
Son
,
but
so
loued
him
,
as
besides
many
other
great
fauours
that
he
did
him
,
could
say
within
himselfe
(
when
he
had
determined
a
destruction
of
his
enemies
)
shal
I
hide
from
my
seruant
Abraham
what
I
will
doe
?
as
thogh
he
wold
keep
nothing
from
his
beloued
that
he
knew
fit
for
his
knowledge
:
Againe
,
how
loued
he
Eliah
that
he
wold
neuer
let
him
see
death
?
how
loued
he
his
seruant
Dauid
that
he
made
him
to
his
owne
heart
?
how
loued
he
the
blessed
Virgine
to
make
her
the
mother
of
his
blesssed
Sonne
?
how
loued
hee
Iohn
the
Euangeliste
,
to
let
him
leane
in
is
bosome
?
how
loued
hee
Paule
to
bringe
him
from
idolatry
?
&
how
loued
he
Peter
to
forgiue
him
when
he
had
denyed
him
?
how
loued
hee
Lazarus
when
he
wept
ouer
him
,
how
loued
he
Mary
Magdalen
when
he
disposs
est
her
of
fowle
spirits
,
and
at
his
Resurrection
let
her
beholde
him
?
and
how
loued
he
the
Theife
when
hee
carried
him
into
heauen
with
him
?
To
recite
all
the
pointes
of
his
particuler
loue
to
a
worlde
of
vnworthy
persons
,
were
more
then
a
worlde
could
set
downe
but
for
so
much
as
I
haue
said
,
and
more
then
may
bee
saide
of
his
loue
,
I
am
perswaded
,
that
if
wee
consider
the
power
,
the
grace
,
the
wisdome
,
the
bountie
,
the
pittie
,
the
maiestie
,
the
mercie
,
the
patience
,
the
passion
,
the
sorrow
,
the
labour
,
the
life
,
and
the
torments
of
his
loue
,
for
our
loue
;
he
hath
no
feeling
of
loue
,
or
is
worthie
of
no
loue
,
that
will
not
in
the
ioye
of
his
soules
loue
,
giue
all
glory
to
this
loue
,
and
say
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
.
Psalm
31.
verse
23.
Loue
him
all
ye
his
Saints
,
praise
him
and
magnifie
him
for
euer
.
For
as
there
was
neuer
such
a
sorrowe
as
he
hath
endured
for
vs
,
so
is
there
no
such
loue
as
he
hath
to
vs
,
and
in
his
mercie
dooth
euer
shew
vs
.
When
he
came
first
into
the
world
,
he
came
as
an
infant
,
to
shewe
vs
the
mildenes
of
his
loue
in
further
yeares
:
he
came
as
a
doctor
in
the
wisdom
of
his
loue
,
to
teach
vs
the
way
vnto
eternall
life
,
in
the
vertue
of
his
loue
:
he
came
as
a
Phisition
to
cure
vs
of
all
diseases
:
in
the
power
of
his
loue
,
he
came
like
himselfe
as
a
God
to
driue
out
the
Deuils
from
vs
:
and
in
the
meekenes
of
his
loue
,
came
as
a
Lambe
to
be
sacrifised
for
vs
:
&
in
the
care
of
his
loue
,
at
the
right
hand
of
his
father
,
is
now
a
Mediator
for
vs
,
&
in
the
glorie
of
his
loue
,
into
the
possession
of
our
inheritance
,
that
hee
hath
purchased
for
vs
:
will
receiue
vs
:
oh
milde
!
oh
wise
!
oh
vertuous
!
oh
powerfull
!
oh
meeke
!
oh
carefull
!
oh
glorious
loue
!
who
can
thinke
of
this
loue
,
and
in
the
true
glorie
of
true
loue
,
cannot
most
truely
say
,
there
was
neuer
such
loue
!
no
,
as
Non
est
dolor
sicut
eius
,
so
Non
est
Amor
sicut
eius
.
And
thus
much
touching
the
consideration
of
the
loue
God
.
The
fift
consideration
of
the
mercy
of
God
.
IN
this
admirable
vertue
of
the
loue
of
God
,
I
finde
the
greate
and
gratious
worke
of
his
mercie
towards
man
,
which
Considering
the
wickednesse
of
our
nature
,
and
the
wofulnesse
of
our
estate
,
is
necessary
to
be
considered
:
for
so
farre
had
the
temtation
of
the
Diuill
poysoned
the
heart
of
man
,
as
through
the
sinne
of
pride
,
sought
not
onely
to
driue
him
out
of
Paradice
,
but
(
in
as
much
as
he
might
)
to
throwe
him
downe
into
hell
,
when
the
Angell
of
his
wrath
was
sent
to
giue
him
punishment
,
yet
wrought
his
mercie
so
with
his
Iustice
,
as
saued
him
from
perdition
:
yea
,
though
hee
cursed
the
earth
for
the
sins
of
his
creature
,
yet
he
blessed
his
labour
with
the
fruite
of
his
patience
,
and
reserued
for
his
beleefe
a
ioy
in
his
mercie
:
Looke
through
the
whole
course
of
the
Scripture
,
how
his
mercie
euer
wrought
with
his
Iustice
,
yea
,
&
as
it
were
had
oftentimes
the
vpper
hand
of
it
:
as
in
the
time
of
Noah
,
when
sinne
had
made
as
it
were
the
whole
world
hateful
in
his
sight
,
that
he
saide
within
himselfe
he
repented
that
he
had
made
man
,
yet
in
his
mercie
hee
made
an
Arke
to
saue
Noah
and
his
Children
,
yea
,
and
of
all
liuing
creatures
,
reserued
some
for
generation
:
in
Sodome
and
Gomora
he
saued
Lot
&
his
Daughters
:
&
yet
Adam
deserued
nothing
but
destruction
for
his
disobedience
.
Noah
deserued
no
grace
for
his
drunkennes
,
not
Lot
any
fauour
for
his
Incest
,
&
yet
mercy
so
wrought
with
iustice
,
that
God
not
onely
for
gaue
their
sins
,
but
blessed
their
repentance
:
such
hath
enerbene
,
is
,
and
euer
will
be
the
mercye
of
God
vnto
man
,
as
so
far
doth
mit●igate
the
furie
of
his
iustice
,
as
reserueth
comfort
for
the
penitent
.
Oh
how
sweete
are
the
reports
and
proofes
of
the
mercie
of
god
vnto
man
in
all
the
world
!
For
is
it
not
written
by
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
Psa.
145.
vers.
9.
His
mercy
is
ouer
al
his
works
?
And
again
,
speaking
of
his
mercy
,
Ps.
103.
13
As
a
father
pittieth
his
owne
Children
,
so
is
the
Lord
merciful
vnto
all
that
feare
him
,
and
in
Psa.
103.
vers
12.
As
far
as
the
East
is
from
the
west
,
so
far
hath
he
set
our
sins
from
vs
:
and
in
the
136.
Psalme
,
through
euerie
verse
,
speaking
to
all
his
workes
,
both
in
heauen
&
earth
,
he
vseth
these
words
.
Blesse
him
and
praise
him
,
for
his
mercie
endureth
for
euer
.
In
mercie
hee
turned
his
wrath
from
the
Israelits
when
Moyses
stood
in
the
gap
:
in
mercy
hee
saued
Moyses
floating
in
the
reedes
:
in
mercy
he
preserued
the
children
in
the
surnace
of
fire
:
in
mercye
hee
preserued
the
the
Israelites
from
the
hoste
of
Pharaoh
:
in
mercy
hee
preserued
Dauid
,
and
deliuered
him
from
all
his
troubles
:
in
mercy
he
deliuered
Ioseph
from
the
pit
and
the
prison
:
in
mercy
he
sent
▪
his
Prophets
to
warne
the
world
of
their
wickednesse
,
and
to
pronounce
comfort
to
the
penitent
:
in
mercy
he
sent
Iohn
Baptist
,
to
deliuer
the
tydings
of
saluation
:
and
in
mercie
hee
sent
his
onely
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
to
be
a
Sauiour
of
all
his
people
:
Oh
infinite
mercie
,
worthy
of
infinite
glorie
!
Consider
againe
how
powerfull
is
his
mercie
in
all
his
workes
,
to
feede
fiue
thousand
people
with
a
few
Loaues
and
Fishes
,
and
with
the
fragments
to
fill
more
baskets
then
the
Loaues
when
they
were
whole
:
to
heale
the
disseased
that
touched
but
the
hem
of
his
garment
:
to
giue
sight
to
the
blinde
,
knowledge
to
the
simple
,
health
to
the
sicke
,
soundnesse
to
the
lame
,
comfort
to
the
penitent
:
to
driue
the
Diuells
from
the
possessed
:
to
giue
life
to
the
deade
,
and
ioy
to
the
faithfull
.
These
words
of
glorious
mercy
,
doth
the
moste
gratious
and
glorious
word
of
truth
plainely
and
truly
lay
before
vs
,
to
make
vs
with
the
holy
Prophets
iustly
say
:
Oh
the
infinite
light
and
bottomles
depth
of
the
mercies
of
our
God!
Glorie
be
to
the
Lord
,
for
his
mercy
indureth
for
euer
.
Againe
,
how
absolute
he
is
in
his
mercie
,
where
he
saith
,
I
will
haue
mercie
,
where
I
will
haue
mercie
,
and
therefore
be
free
both
in
his
power
and
will
,
hath
mercye
for
all
that
will
humblye
and
faithfullye
call
vppon
him
:
and
againe
,
all
are
vnder
sinne
,
that
all
may
come
to
mercie
:
Oh
how
all
glorious
is
that
mercie
which
is
extended
ouer
all
!
Let
vs
therefore
looke
a
little
into
the
blindenesse
of
man
,
in
the
immagination
of
his
owne
merrit
,
of
the
mercy
of
the
liuing
God
,
which
is
onelye
a
fruite
or
effect
of
grace
,
or
free
guift
of
his
onely
glorious
loue
.
How
did
Adam
merit
mercie
,
when
hee
fled
from
his
presence
?
What
merited
Moyses
when
hee
angred
the
Lord
?
What
merrited
Noah
when
hee
was
drunkens
?
What
merrited
Lot
when
hee
committed
Incest
?
What
merited
the
Israelites
with
their
goulden
Calf
?
What
merited
Dauid
when
he
comitted
murther
and
adulterie
?
Againe
,
what
merited
Mary
Magdalen
that
had
seauen
Deuils
within
her
?
what
merited
Paul
that
persecuted
Christ
in
his
people
?
what
merited
Peter
that
denyed
his
maister
?
&
what
merited
the
world
to
work
the
death
of
the
Son
of
God
?
all
&
euerie
one
(
in
the
iudgement
of
Iustice
)
nothing
but
damnation
.
Look
then
into
the
inexplicable
glorye
of
the
mercie
of
God
,
which
not
only
forgaue
all
these
,
but
saued
all
,
and
blessed
all
,
and
so
will
euer
,
al
those
whom
and
whersoeuer
,
that
ashamed
are
of
their
sinnes
,
and
confessing
their
merrit
of
nothing
but
wrath
and
destruction
,
in
the
humble
faith
of
repentance
,
flye
onely
to
the
mercie
of
God
in
the
merrit
of
Christ
Iesus
for
theyr
saluation
.
Oh
the
powerfull
mercy
in
the
loue
of
God
,
that
will
not
suffer
his
Iustice
to
execute
his
wrath
vpon
sinne
!
and
though
such
be
the
pure
and
glorious
brightnes
of
his
grace
,
as
cannot
endure
the
foule
and
filthie
obiect
of
sinne
,
yet
doth
his
mercy
so
rule
the
power
of
his
wrath
,
as
will
not
let
him
destroye
the
sinner
with
his
sinne
:
many
are
the
afflictions
that
hee
layeth
vppon
his
belooued
:
many
are
the
corrections
that
hee
vseth
to
his
Children
:
manye
are
the
sorrowes
that
hee
inflicteth
vppon
his
Elect
,
but
all
is
for
sinne
)
in
the
loue
of
a
Father
,
in
the
care
of
a
Maister
,
&
mercy
of
a
God
)
as
onely
meanes
to
purge
them
of
those
euills
that
are
hinder
ances
to
their
good
;
and
being
healed
of
their
corruption
,
to
bring
them
to
their
first
,
and
a
far
better
perfection
.
For
in
the
correction
of
mercy
,
is
the
sinner
saued
from
destruction
;
&
by
the
regeneration
of
grace
,
brought
to
eternall
saluation
:
Oh
the
vertuous
,
gratious
,
and
glorious
nature
of
mercye
,
which
hath
such
power
with
God
in
the
preseruation
of
his
people
!
It
keekeepeth
the
fire
that
it
fall
not
from
heauen
to
consume
vs
:
it
keepeth
the
water
that
it
riseth
not
to
drown
vs
:
it
keepeth
the
ayre
that
it
doth
not
infect
vs
:
&
keepeth
the
earth
that
it
doth
not
swallow
vs
:
it
keepeth
vs
in
peace
that
discention
do
not
spoile
vs
:
it
keepeth
vs
in
plenty
that
want
doe
not
pinch
vs
:
it
keepeth
vs
in
loue
that
mallice
cannot
hurt
vs
:
and
keepeth
vs
to
God
that
the
Deuill
cannot
confound
vs
.
In
summe
,
it
is
a
gift
of
grace
,
a
worke
of
glorie
,
a
bountie
in
God
,
&
a
blessing
to
man
,
to
speake
of
these
daies
wherin
we
liue
,
and
of
the
late
times
which
we
cannot
forget
:
Let
vs
a
little
consider
the
mercies
of
God
towards
vs
,
how
often
were
we
preserued
from
forraine
enemies
by
Sea
,
and
ciuill
or
vnciuil
enemies
at
home
;
when
not
the
pollicy
of
man
,
but
the
only
mercy
of
god
did
break
the
forces
of
the
one
,
and
reueale
the
deuises
of
the
other
?
And
while
our
Neighbor
Countries
by
continuall
warres
haue
shed
a
world
of
blood
,
we
haue
beene
preserued
in
increase
of
people
:
and
while
they
haue
bin
mourning
in
the
punnishment
of
sinne
,
wee
haue
beene
singing
in
the
ioy
of
grace
:
oh
how
are
wee
bound
to
giue
glorye
vnto
God
for
the
aboundance
of
his
mercie
,
and
say
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
Psal.
136.
verse
.
26
,
Great
is
the
God
of
Heauen
,
for
his
mercie
endureth
for
euer
.
But
as
I
said
of
loue
,
the
life
of
mercy
;
so
of
mercy
the
glory
of
loue
:
since
it
is
so
infinite
in
goodnesse
,
as
exceedeth
in
worthinesse
the
height
of
all
praise
that
the
heart
of
man
can
think
,
or
the
tongue
of
man
can
expresse
,
I
will
onely
say
with
the
Prophet
,
Psalme
.
106.
verse
.
1.
to
all
powers
whatsoeuer
.
Blesse
ye
the
Lord
and
praise
him
,
for
his
mercie
endureth
for
euer
.
And
thus
much
touching
the
consideration
of
the
mercy
of
God
.
The
sixt
consideration
of
the
grace
of
God
.
IN
the
mercy
of
God
,
finding
so
great
a
measure
of
his
grace
as
in
the
bountie
of
his
goodnes
deserueth
no
little
glory
,
I
cannot
but
with
admiration
speake
of
that
grace
,
that
through
his
loue
made
him
haue
such
a
fauour
vnto
man
,
as
to
elect
him
to
his
loue
,
to
frame
him
to
his
image
,
to
inspire
him
with
his
spirit
,
to
instruct
him
in
his
word
,
to
defend
him
with
his
power
,
to
preserue
him
in
his
mercie
:
to
dye
for
him
in
his
loue
,
and
to
receiue
him
to
glorie
:
all
these
and
what
euer
other
good
wee
receiue
,
either
through
the
loue
or
mercye
of
God
,
are
free
guifts
of
his
grace
,
and
not
for
any
merrit
in
man
,
How
can
this
beame
of
glorious
brightnes
bee
beheld
with
the
cies
of
humilitie
,
but
that
the
soule
wold
be
rauished
with
the
contemplation
therof
?
and
say
with
the
Psalmist
,
Psalme
.
103.
verse
.
8.
Gratious
is
the
Lord
,
and
mercifull
,
long
suffering
,
and
of
great
goodnesse
.
Furthermore
,
of
so
great
effect
in
the
working
of
comfort
in
the
hearts
of
the
faithfull
,
is
this
vertue
of
grace
in
God
,
that
wee
finde
the
writings
of
the
Apostles
in
their
Epistles
,
commonlye
to
begin
with
this
word
Grace
:
Grace
,
mercie
and
peace
from
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
:
As
if
from
grace
came
mercie
,
and
from
mercie
peace
.
Oh
consider
the
works
of
grace
,
our
election
out
of
a
speciall
fauour
:
our
creation
out
of
a
gratious
wisdome
:
our
vocation
out
of
a
gratious
kindenes
:
our
sanctification
out
of
a
gratious
holines
:
our
iustification
out
of
a
gratious
merit
:
our
redemption
out
of
a
gratious
loue
,
&
our
glorification
out
of
a
gratious
mercy
.
So
that
still
we
see
that
grace
worketh
in
all
thinges
to
the
onelye
glorie
of
God
,
in
whome
it
worketh
to
the
good
of
man
.
Oh
how
sweet
a
salutation
was
deliuered
to
the
blessed
Virgin
Mary
by
the
Angell
Gabriell
,
Haile
Mary
full
of
grace
,
God
is
with
thee
.
So
that
if
God
be
with
any
soule
,
it
is
full
of
grace
,
&
where
the
fulnes
of
grace
is
,
there
is
surely
God
:
but
as
it
is
written
of
Christ
Iesus
,
Psalme
.
45.
vers.
7.
That
hee
was
annointed
with
the
Oyle
of
Grace
aboue
his
fellowes
,
So
may
wee
well
say
of
the
Grace
of
God
,
it
is
so
excellent
in
working
to
the
Glorie
of
God
,
that
as
it
is
infinite
in
goodnes
,
so
must
it
haue
the
same
measure
in
glorie
,
I
say
,
to
be
glorified
aboue
all
things
.
Note
a
little
the
varieties
of
the
guiftes
of
this
grace
of
God
vnto
his
seruants
:
Moyses
hee
made
a
leader
of
his
people
,
and
gaue
him
the
tables
of
the
law
:
to
Abraham
he
gaue
the
blessing
that
should
follow
in
his
seede
:
in
Isaack
shall
the
seede
be
called
:
at
the
prayer
of
Eliah
,
hee
sent
raine
after
a
long
drought
:
to
Dauid
hee
gaue
a
kingdome
,
and
a
treasure
more
worth
then
many
kingdomes
,
the
enlightning
knowledge
of
his
holy
loue
,
the
spirit
of
prophesie
,
the
confession
of
sinne
,
the
repentance
of
offence
,
the
passion
of
true
patience
,
the
constancie
of
faith
,
and
the
humility
of
loue
.
To
Salomon
he
gaue
especiall
wisdome
to
sit
in
the
Throane
of
iudgement
with
the
greatest
maiestie
and
wealth
of
any
earthlye
creature
in
the
world
,
To
the
blessed
Virgin
Marie
hee
gaue
the
fulnesse
of
grace
,
in
the
conception
of
his
only
Sonne
;
but
to
him
he
gaue
that
grace
that
filled
heauen
and
earth
with
his
glorie
.
Let
vs
then
consider
not
only
the
vertue
,
goodnesse
and
glory
of
grace
,
but
with
all
,
the
height
and
glorie
therof
;
which
being
only
in
Iesus
Christ
our
onely
Lord
and
Sauiour
,
let
vs
in
him
onely
beholde
the
summe
and
substance
,
the
beautie
&
brightnesse
,
the
goodnesse
and
glorie
thereof
,
&
forsaking
our selues
in
the
shame
of
our
sinnes
,
only
flie
to
his
mercie
for
the
comforte
of
those
blessings
,
that
receiuing
onelye
from
him
,
may
make
vs
giue
all
honour
and
glorie
to
him
.
And
so
much
for
consideration
vpon
the
grace
of
God
.
The
seauenth
consideration
of
the
glorie
of
God
.
HAuing
thus
considered
of
the
greatnes
,
the
goodnes
,
the
wisdom
,
the
loue
,
the
mercy
&
grace
of
God
towards
man
,
I
cannot
but
finde
in
this
good
God
,
an
admirable
glory
,
who
containing
all
these
excellencies
in
himselfe
,
and
beeing
indeede
the
verie
essence
of
the
same
,
doth
in
the
vertue
of
his
bountie
,
appeare
so
gratious
vnto
this
people
:
But
since
to
speake
or
thinke
of
the
glory
of
God
,
or
the
least
part
thereof
,
is
●o
farre
aboue
the
reach
of
the
power
of
reason
,
as
in
all
confession
must
be
onely
left
to
admiration
:
Let
me
onely
say
with
the
Apostle
,
Glory
only
belongeth
vnto
the
Lord
,
in
his
presence
so
glorious
is
his
brightnesse
as
nothing
can
see
him
and
liue
:
and
therefore
in
a
bush
of
fire
hee
spake
,
but
not
apeared
vnto
Moyses
:
vpon
the
mount
in
a
cloud
and
a
piller
went
before
his
people
in
the
wildernesse
:
was
as
it
were
inclosed
in
the
Arke
;
in
an
Angell
did
appeare
vnto
his
Prophets
,
and
in
his
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
so
farre
as
he
would
and
might
be
seene
to
his
Apostles
and
Disciples
,
but
for
his
glory
,
his
diuine
essence
cannot
be
seene
of
any
but
himselfe
,
verified
by
his
own
word
,

No

I

and
I
goe
to

for
the

I
am

with
his

he
filleth
both
heauen

earth
,
as
it
is
written
,
Heauen
and
earth
are
ful
of
the
Maiestie

:
and
againe
,
in
the
Psalme
19.
verse
1.
The

his
Saintes
write
of
his
glorye
,
his
Angelles
sing
of
his
glorie
,
and
all
powers
doe
acknowledge
his
glorie
.
It
is
higher
then
the
Heauens

larger
then
the
Earth
,
deeper
then
the
Sea
,
purer
then
the
fire
,
cleerer
then
the

brighter
then

:
The
power
of
strength
,
the
life
of
Loue
,
the
vertue
of
mercie
,
the
beautie
of
grace
,
the
honour
of
Wisdome
,
and
the
Essence
of
Maiestie
:
The
Angelles
tremble
before
it

the
Saintes
fall
at
the
feete
of
it
,
the
Prophets
beholde
it
a
farre
off
,
and
the
soules
of
the
elected
doe
adore
it
:
and
being
then
so
farre
aboue
the
power
of
man
,
to
come
neerer
the
thought
of
it
:
How
can
the
heart
of
man
but
in
admiration
speake
of
it
?
it
liues
in
the
wisdome
of
the
wise
,
in
the
vertue
of
the
valyant
,
in
the
liberalitie
of
the
Charitable
,
in
the
patience
of
the
Temperate
,
in
the
virginitie
of
the
chaste

in
the
constancye
of
the
faithfull
,
in
the
humilitye
of

&
in
the
truth
of
the
Religious
:
it
dyrects
the
will
of
the
Trinitie
in
the
vnitie
of
the
Deitie
:
it
commaundes
the
seruice
of
the
Angells
,
it
blesseth
the
prayers
of
the
Saints
,
it
pardoneth
the
sinnes
of

,
it
prospereth
the
labours
of
the
vertuous

and
loueth
the

of

:
in
summe
,
it
is
the
Maiestie
of
Maiesties
,
the
power
of

,
the
vertue
of
vertues
,
the
grace
of

the

the
Treasure
of

the
Blessing

and
the

and
in
all
effects
so
neere
vnto
God
himself
,
that
as
he
is
in
his
glory
incomprehensible
,
so
is
the
same
for
the
infinite
perfection
of
all
worthines
inexplicable
;
it
droue
out
of
Paradise
the
disobediente
to
the
comaund
of
it
;
it
made
the
earth
swallowe
the
murmurers
against
the
will
of
it
;
it
sent
fire
from
heauen
,
to
consume
the
Captaines
that
came
against
the
seruant
of
it
;
it
deuided
the
Sea
to
make
a
walke
for
the
chosen
of

;
it
made
the
same
Sea
to
drowne
the
hoast
of
the
enemies

it
sent
destruction
vpon
the
Cities
that
wrought
abhomination
in
the
sight
of
it
;
it
drowned
the
world
for
sinning
against
it
;
and
hath
cursed
the
Iewes
for
the
death
of
the
beloued
of
it
:
in
summe
,
it
is
in
all
so
farre
beyond
all
that
can
be
said
or
thought
of
it
,
in
the
infinitenes
of
excellence
,
that
in
humilitie
of
adoration
I
will
leaue
it
to
the
seruice
of
the
wise
,
the
loue
of
the
vertuous
,
the
honour
of
the
blessed
,
and
the
admiration
of
all
.
And
thus
much
for
consideration
of
the
glorie
of
God
.
The
second
part
of
consideration
concerning
man
:
and
first
touching
the
weakenesse
or
smallnesse
of
man
.
HAuing
now
set
downe
a
few
notes
touching
the
necessarie
consideration
of
the
greatnesse
,
goodnesse
,
wisdom
,
loue
,
mercie
,
grace
and
glory
of
God
,
Let
mee
a
little
speake
of
the
contrarieties
in
man
,
in
mine
opinion
not
vnnecessarie
to
be
considered
:
and
first
,
of
the
weakenesse
or
smallnesse
of
man
:
First
of
his
smallenesse
touching
the
substance
of
his
creation
,
it
was
of
the
slime
of
the
earth
,
then
what
could
bee
lesse
,
or
of
lesse
force
,
quantitye
or
esteeme
?
Next
for
the
substance
of
generation
,
what
was
man
before
the
meeting
of
his
Parents
?
not
so
much
as
a
thought
,
then
which
nothing
could
bee
lesse
,
then
by
the
effect
of
consent
,
What
was
his
substance
?
as
in
his
creation
a
matter
of
like
moment
,
the
quantitie
not
greate
,
and
the
force
little
,
contained
in
a
little
roome
:
bred
vp
in
darkenes
with
paine
and
sorrowe
,
fed
by
the
nauil●
without
vse
of
sence
or
member
.
Then
come
into
the
world
,
is
in
quantitie
little
,
in
strength
meere
weaknes
,
naked
and
feeble
like
anowne
adiectiue
that
cannot
stand
alone
,
cryeth
for
it
knoweth
not
what
,
either
paine
that
it
cannot
expresse
,
or
for
want
of
that
it
cannot
aske
for
:
Now
continuing
long
time
in
this
weaknes
,
being
come
to
further
yeares
,
what
doth
it
finde
but
it
owne
imbecillitie
,
desiring
that
it
cannot
haue
,
beholding
that
it
cannot
comprehend
,
and
enduring
that
it
cannot
helpe
.
Subiect
to
sinne
,
by
the
corruption
of
nature
,
by
temptation
of
the
flesh
,
by
the
enchantment
of
the
worlde
,
and
the
iclousnesse
of
the
Deuill
:
subiect
to
the
burning
of
the
fire
,
to
the
drowning
of
the
water
,
to
the
infection
of
the
aire
,
to
the
swallowing
of
the
earth
:
subiect
to
sicknesse
,
subiect
to
care
,
to
sorrow
,
to
want
,
to
wronge
,
to
oppression
,
to
penurye
,
to
ignorance
,
to
presumption
,
to
tyranye
,
to
death
:
so
vnable
to
defend
himselfe
,
that
a
flea
will
byte
him
,
a
fly
will
blinde
him
,
a
worme
will
wound
him
,
and
a
gnat
will
choake
him
.
And
for
his
sences
,
his
hearing
may
greeue
him
,
his
sight
may
annoye
him
,
his
speeche
may
hurt
him
,
his
feeling
may
distemper
him
,
his
smelling
may
infect
him
,
and
his
tasting
may
kill
him
:
in
summe
,
poore
thing
proud
of
nothing
,
come
of
little
better
then
nothing
,
and
shall
returne
to
(
almoste
)
as
little
a●
nothing
:
muste
hunger
,
must
thirst
,
must
labour
,
must
sleepe
,
must
loose
the
vse
of
his
sences
,
and
committe
himselfe
to
trust
:
must
waxe
olde
,
must
die
,
cannot
chuse
,
hath
no
power
to
withstand
any
of
these
:
and
though
hee
haue
the
commaund
of
creatures
,
is
but
himselfe
a
creature
,
and
can
no
longer
liue
then
to
the
will
of
the
Creator
:
sees
the
Sunne
,
cannot
behold
the
brightnesse
:
heares
the
windes
,
knowes
not
whence
they
blowe
:
feeles
the
ayre
,
knowes
not
how
to
lay
holde
of
it
:
sees
the
fire
,
dares
not
touch
it
:
sees
a
world
of
earth
,
but
possesseth
little
of
it
,
perhappes
none
of
it
:
lookes
at
Heauen
,
but
cannot
come
at
it
:
and
in
summe
,
as
a
substance
of
nothing
,
or
if
anye
thing
,
like
a
Clocke
,
that
no
longer
mooueth
then
by
the
will
of
the
Clockemaker
:
So
no
longer
man
then
in
the
wil
of
his
maker
:
what
shall
this
little
,
weake
,
small
creature
think
,
when
he
shal
in
the
glasse
of
true
sence
beholde
the
obiect
of
himselfe
,
and
then
think
vpon
the
greatnes
of
his
God
,
in
whome
not
onely
himselfe
but
all
creatures
in
heauen
&
earth
haue
their
being
,
and
without
him
haue
no
being
?
in
how
little
a
compasse
himselfe
,
withall
his
is
contained
,
while
such
is
the
greatnesse
of
his
God
,
as
filleth
heauen
and
earth
with
his
glory
;
who
comprehendeth
all
things
,
not
comprehended
in
any
,
nor
all
;
but
aboue
all
in
himself
,
in
the
infinitenes
of
himselfe
.
Oh
poore
man
what
canst
thou
doe
,
but
with
Iob
lay
thy
finger
on
thy
mouth
,
and
say
:
I
haue
spoken
once
and
twise
,
but
I
will
speake
no
more
:
I
thought
I
was
something
,
but
I
see
I
am
nothing
,
at
least
so
little
a
thing
,
as
in
it selfe
is
nothing
:
My
righteousnesse
is
as
a
filthy
cloth
,
my
strength
is
Weakenes
,
my
dayes
as
a
shaddowe
,
my
life
but
a
spanne
,
and
my
substance
so
smal
,
as
but
in
thee
my
God
is
as
nothing
or
worse
then
nothing
at
al
:
thus
I
say
wilt
thou
say
when
beholding
the
least
of
gods
creatures
,
thou
shalt
consider
thyne
owne
smalnesse
;
and
looking
on
the
one
and
the
other
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
say
in
the
admiration
of
his
glorious
goodnes
,
Psalme
8.
vers.
4.
O
God
what
is
man
that
thou
doest
vouchsafe
to
looke
vpon
him
?
And
thus
much
touching
the
smalnesse
or
weaknes
of
man
.
The
second
Consideration
,
touching
the
vilenes
or
wickednes
of
man
.
NOw
I
haue
a
litle
spoken
of
this
smalnesse
or
small
strength
of
man
,
a
thing
doubtles
most
necessary
for
euery
man
to
think
vppon
,
least
finding
his
greatnes
in
commaund
ouer
the
creatures
of
the
earth
,
he
forget
the
Creator
both
of
heauen
and
earth
,
&
al
things
in
the
same
:
so
let
me
tell
him
,
that
finding
his
smalnes
to
bee
so
great
,
and
his
greatnes
to
be
so
smal
,
as
maketh
him
nothing
more
then
in
the
wil
of
the
Almightie
,
hee
must
withal
looke
into
the
vilenes
of
his
nature
,
in
the
wilfull
offending
of
his
moste
good
and
glorious
God
▪
for
in
his
first
offence
,
how
much
did
he
shew
the
vile
wickednes
or
wicked
vilenesse
of
his
condition
,
in
forgeting
the
goodnes
of
his
God
,
in
framing
him
of
so
vile
a
matter
as
the
slime
of
the
earth
,
a
liuing
creture
to
his
own
glorious
image
?
then
to
plant
him
in
Paradice
,
a
place
of
so
much
pleasure
,
to
giue
him
so
large
a
possession
,
as
of
al
his
ground
,
his
fruit
,
yea
&
commaund
of
al
his
creatures
vpon
the
earth
:
thus
not
like
a
Lord
,
but
like
himself
Lord
of
Lords
,
to
giue
him
a
world
of
earth
,
&
there
onely
to
except
one
Tree
,
with
a
sharpe
warning
of
death
,
in
the
touching
of
the
same
,
when
neither
his
loue
in
his
creation
,
his
bountie
in
his
possession
,
nor
his
care
in
his
commaund
regarded
,
but
either
carelesly
forgotten
,
or
wilfully
disobeyed
:
Oh
what
greater
vilenes
could
be
shewed
then
in
such
vnthankfulnes
?
and
what
greater
greater
wickednesse
,
then
to
shake
handes
with
the
Deuill
,
to
offend
the
God
of
so
much
goodnesse
?
but
more
to
make
him
blush
at
his
owne
shame
,
in
beholding
the
foulenesse
of
his
abhominable
filthynesse
,
let
man
in
the
glasse
of
truth
see
the
leprosie
of
his
soule
,
by
the
infection
of
sinne
.
Pryde
hath
defiled
humilitie
,
couetousnesse
charitie
,
lecherie
chastitie
,
wrath
patience
,
sloath
labour
,
enuie
loue
,
and
murther
pity
:
so
that
whereas
man
was
before
in
these
vertues
a
creature
of
Gods
loue
,
and
in
whose
presence
hee
tooke
pleasure
,
now
through
these
vices
is
hee
become
a
most
vglye
and
hatefull
creature
in
the
sight
of
the
Creator
:
what
Peacock
more
proude
of
his
taile
then
man
is
of
his
trumpery
?
what
Tyger
is
more
cruell
to
any
beaste
,
then
one
man
to
another
?
what
Goate
more
lecherous
then
the
licentious
Libertins
?
what
Dogge
more
couetous
in
hiding
of
meate
,
then
the
dogged
miser
in
hoording
vp
of
money
?
what
Snake
more
venemous
then
the
tonge
of
the
enuious
?
and
what
Dormouse
so
sleepie
as
the
slouthfull
Epicure
?
Consider
then
if
there
bee
a
vile
nature
in
any
of
these
,
how
much
more
vile
is
man
,
that
hath
the
condition
of
all
these
?
Oh
should
a
man
haue
his
Image
or
proportion
drawne
according
to
his
condition
,
how
monstrous
would
he
finde
himselfe
?
with
a
Tygers
head
,
a
Goates
bearde
,
a
Snakes
tong
,
a
hogs
belly
,
a
Dormouse
cie
,
and
a
Beares
hand
:
But
let
the
Image
goe
,
and
looke
into
the
vilenes
of
man
,
and
see
if
it
bee
not
such
as
passeth
the
power
of
discription
:
when
God
is
forgotten
,
the
Deuill
shal
be
remembred
;
when
grace
is
forsaken
,
sinne
shal
be
entertained
;
and
when
Christ
shal
be
crucified
,
Iudas
shal
be
monyed
.
A
Dogge
will
fawne
on
his
maister
,
Oh
how
much
worse
then
a
Dogg
was
man
that
was
the
death
of
his
maister
?
an
Elephant
is
a
monstrous
beast
,
and
yet
is
pitifull
to
man
,
&
wil
lead
him
out
of
the
wildernes
:
but
man
more
monstrous
then
any
beast
,
will
leade
man
into
wickednes
:
the
Goate
hath
his
time
,
wherin
to
shew
the
heate
of
his
nature
,
but
man
spareth
no
time
to
follow
the
filthinesse
of
his
lust
:
the
Dogge
will
bee
satisfied
with
a
little
that
hee
hath
hidden
,
but
the
vsurer
is
neuer
satisfied
till
hee
bee
choaked
with
his
Golde
:
the
Lyon
will
not
praie
vpon
the
bloud
of
a
Lambe
,
when
the
murtherer
will
not
spare
the
bloud
of
the
infante
:
the
Ante
will
worke
for
prouision
for
his
foode
,
while
the
Epicure
will
burst
in
the
bed
of
his
ease
.
See
then
(
oh
man
)
the
vile
substance
of
thy
condition
,
whereby
,
of
the
best
creature
in
thy
creation
thou
art
become
the
worst
in
thy
corruption
:
&
therfore
looking
on
the
goodnes
of
thy
God
,
and
the
vilenesse
of
thy selfe
,
Thou
maiest
well
saie
with
Peter
:

Shame
hath
couered
my
face
,
yea
and
beholding
the
leprosie
of
thy
soule
by
the
spottes
of
thy
sinne
,
stand
without
the
gates
of
grace
,
that
the
Angells
may
not
abhorre
thee
,
nor
the
Saincts
be
infected
by
thee
,
till
thy
heauenly
Phisitian
with
the
Bloude
of
the
Lambe
haue
cured
thee
of
thy
corruption
:
Look
I
say
(
oh
vile
man
)
vpon
the
wickednesse
of
thy
will
,
to
offend
thy
good
God
,
to
bee
a
seruant
to
sinne
,
the
ruine
of
thy selfe
,
and
the
plague
of
thy
posteritie
.
In
thy
riches
see
the
rust
of
coueteousnesse
;
in
thy
pryde
see
the
fall
of
Lucifer
;
in
thy
lechery
see
the
fire
of
lust
;
in
thy
wrath
see
the
bloud
of
murther
;
in
thy
sloath
see
the
filth
of
drosse
:
and
thus
beholding
thy
besmeered
soule
,
see
if
thou
canst
see
so
vile
a
creature
,
vile
in
vnthankfulnes
,
vile
in
haughtines
,
vile
in
coueteousnes
,
vile
in
sloathfulnes
,
vile
in
furiousnes
,
vile
in
filthines
,
and
so
vile
,
in
all
vilenes
.
Thus
I
say
looke
into
thy selfe
,
and
see
what
thou
arte
,
and
if
such
thou
be
not
,
think
of
the
greatnes
of
the
goodnes
in
thy
God
,
that
by
the
vertue
of
his
power
in
the
mercie
of
his
loue
,
hath
healed
thee
of
thy
sinne
,
&
made
thee
fit
for
his
seruice
,
which
till
thou
findest
in
thy selfe
,
thinke
there
is
not
so
vile
a
creature
as
thy selfe
.
And
thus
much
touching
the
vilenes
or
wickednes
of
man
.
The
third
Consideration
,
touching
the
folly
or
Ignorance
of
man
.
THe
smalnesse
and
vilenes
of
man
thus
considered
,
we
are
now
to
looke
a
little
vpon
the
folly
or
ignorance
of
man
,
not
a
little
needfull
with
the
precedents
&
what
shall
follow
to
be
considered
:
First
,
to
the
first
point
of
folly
;
could
there
bee
a
greater
folly
thought
vpon
,
then
to
lose
the
benefit
of
Paradise
,
for
the
bit
of
an
Apple
,
for
touching
one
tree
to
loose
all
,
to
loose
the
plesure
of
ease
,
to
labor
for
food
,
to
forget
god
,
to
listen
to
women
,
to
distrust
God
and
to
beleiue
the
Deuill
;
to
loose
the
beautie
of
perfection
,
for
the
foulnesse
of
corruption
;
and
as
much
as
in
him
lay
,
to
leaue
heauen
for
hell
:
are
not
these
(
without
comparison
)
so
high
pointes
in
ignorance
,
as
make
a
ful
point
in
folly
?
But
leauing
the
first
folly
of
the
first
offender
,
Oh
what
a
swarme
of
follyes
hath
this
ignorance
begotten
in
the
worlde
?
which
like
Snakes
in
a
Bee-hiue
,
sting
the
takers
of
misstaken
hony
?
what
a
folly
is
it
in
man
to
worship
a
golden
calfe
,
which
at
the
houre
of
his
death
,
can
giue
his
body
no
breath
,
but
in
the
time
of
his
life
,
may
hasten
his
soule
into
hell
?
For
example
reade
,
the
history
of
Diues
,
and
see
the
fruite
of
such
a
folly
.
Againe
,
what
a
follye
is
it
for
man
to
make
an
Idoll
of
his
fancie
,
when
Sampson
with
his
Dalila
may
shew
the
fruite
of
wantonnesse
?
Againe
,
what
a
folly
it
is
to
execute
the
vengeance
of
wrath
,
Let
the
murther
of
Cain
speake
in
the
bloud
of
his
brother
Abell
:
what
a
folly
is
enuie
,
let
the
swallowing
of
Coran
,
Datha●
and
Abiram
speake
in
their
murmering
against
Moses
:
what
a
folly
is
pride
,
looke
in
the
fall
of
Lucifer
:
But
as
there
are
many
great
follyes
in
the
world
,
so
there
are
many
and
great
fooles
;
but
aboue
all
,
one
most
great
foole
which
wee
may
iustly
call
foole
by
the
word
of
God
,
Psalme
53.
verse
1.
The
foole
hath
said
in
his
heart
,
there
is
no
God
:
This
foole
doe
I
holde
the
foole
of
al
fooles
,
who
hath
ben
so
long
with
the
Deuil
that
he
hath
forgotten
God
,
for
he
is
more
foole
then
the
Deuil
,
who
will
acknowledge
God
,
tremble
at
his
Maiestie
,
and
be
obedient
to
his
commaund
;
&
therefore
I
may
well
say
,
that
he
is
not
only
a
deuilish
foole
,
but
worse
then
a
Deuill
foole
,
and
so
the
foole
of
al
fooles
:
Now
to
speake
of
follyes
in
particular
,
nor
of
a
number
of
Idle
fooles
,
such
as
when
they
are
gay
,
thinke
they
are
rich
,
or
when
they
can
prate
they
are
wise
,
or
when
they
are
proude
they
are
noble
,
or
when
they
are
prodigall
they
are
liberall
,
or
when
they
are
miserable
they
are
thriftie
,
or
when
they
can
swagger
they
are
valiant
,
and
when
they
are
rich
they
are
honest
:
These
and
a
world
of
such
idle
fooles
,
least
I
should
be
thought
too
much
a
foole
,
for
standing
too
much
vpon
the
foole
,
I
leaue
further
to
talke
of
,
&
hoping
that
the
wise
will
confesse
,
that
all
the
wisdome
of
the
worlde
is
foolishnesse
before
God
;
and
therefore
man
finding
in
himself
so
little
touch
of
true
wisdome
,
as
may
make
him
then
confesse
all
the
wit
hee
hath
to
be
but
meere
foolishnesse
without
the
grace
of
God
,
in
the
direction
thereof
.
I
will
leaue
what
I
haue
written
vniustly
to
the
correction
of
the
wise
,
and
for
the
vnwise
,
to
the
amendement
of
their
indiscretion
:
and
thus
much
touching
the
consideration
of
the
folly
of
man
.
The
fourth
Consideration
,
touching
mallice
or
hate
in
man
.
NOw
hauing
spoken
myne
oppinion
,
touching
the
foolishnes
of
man
,
I
finde
that
follye
or
ignorance
of
better
iudgement
,
to
haue
begotten
in
him
a
kinde
of
malice
or
hate
,
as
it
were
opposite
or
contrary
to
the
loue
of
God
,
or
at
the
least
contrary
to
that
loue
which
God
commaundeth
to
bee
in
man
,
where
hee
saith
:
Iohn
chap.

verse
34.
Loue
one
another
as
I
haue
loued
you
:
for
in
some
wicked
people
it
is
too
apparant
,
which
I
may
rather
terme
Deuills
then
men
,
those
Atheisticall
villains
,
that
if
they
haue
not
their
wills
will
not
onely
murmure
against
God
,
but
with
Iobs
wife
seeme
to
curse
God
;
and
with
the
Deuill
blaspheme
God
:
may
not
these
iustly
be
called
the
reprobate
,
that
but
looking
towards
heauen
,
dare
stirre
vp
athought
against
the
glory
thereof
:
and
being
themselues
but
earth
,
dare
mooue
against
the
Great
or
of
heauen
and
earth
.
Oh
how
hath
the
Deuill
had
power
with
man
,
so
to
poyson
his
soule
with
the
venome
of
temptation
,
as
by
the
power
of
the
corruption
,
to
bring
him
to
etrrnall
confusion
?
but
as
the
Deuill
through
his
malice
at
the
greatnes
of
God
,
was
cast
downe
from
Heauen
,
so
hath
hee
euer
since
and
during
his
time
will
,
by
the
same
poison
,
in
as
much
as
he
can
,
keepe
man
from
Heauen
:
but
leauing
to
speake
of
the
vngratious
,
vngratefull
and
malicious
nature
in
some
man
towards
God
,
most
grieuous
to
be
spoken
of
:
let
me
come
to
the
malice
or
hate
of
man
to
man
,
when
there
were
but
two
brethren
in
the
world
Cain
and
Abel
,
one
so
maliced
another
,
that
he
sought
his
death
,
&
not
for
the
hurt
he
did
him
,
but
for
that
God
was
pleased
in
his
brother
,
and
not
in
him
:
Oh
pestiferous
poison
,
to
wound
the
soule
vnto
eternall
death
!

what
need
I
to
alleage
examples
,
either
in
the
booke
of
God
,
or
wordes
of
bookes
in
the
worlde
,
touching
that
vile
&
hellish
nature
or
humor
of
malice
in
the
corrupted
nature
of
man
,
when
it
is
dayly
seene
euen
almost
in
al
kingdomes
,
Countries
,
Cyties
,
and
Townes
,
to
be
an
occasion
of
ciuill
discorde
,
yea
and
sometime
of
greate
and
long
warres
,
to
the
vtter
spoile
of
many
a
common
wealth
:
doe
not
wee
see
euen
sometime
before
our
eyes
,
how
many
are
hated
euen
for
the
good
that
is
in
them
?
and
for
the
good
that
they
intend
to
them
that
hate
them
?
when
a
wise
man
reprooueth
a
foole
of
his
folly
,
will
not
the
foole
hate
him
for
being
wiser
then
himselfe
,
or
for
telling
him
of
his
folly
?
yea
,
will
he
not
carry
it
in
minde
many
a
day
,
and
worke
him
a
mischeefe
if
hee
can
,
for
his
good
,
and
as
the
Iewes
did
with
Christ
,
put
him
to
death
for
teaching
them
the
waie
of
life
,
hate
him
for
his
loue
,
and
kill
him
for
his
comforte
?
Oh
malicious
nature
in
the
hearte
of
man
!
if
the
lawe
giue
land
to
the
right
heyre
,
will
not
the
wrong
possessor
hate
both
the
heyre
for
his
right
,
and
the
lawe
for
giuing
it
him
,
though
himselfe
would
be
glad
if
the
case
were
his
own
to
haue
it
so
?
if
two
freindes
bee
suiters
for
one
fortune
,
if
the
one
carry
it
,
is
it
not
often
seene
,
that
the
other
will
hate
him
for
it
?
yea
,
of
a
friend
become
a
foe
,
for
enioyning
that
he
should
euer
haue
had
if
the
other
had
missed
it
?
is
it
not
often
seene
that
vpon
a
humor
of
ielouzie
a
man
wil
hate
his
wife
,
and
the
wife
her
husband
,
the
sonne
the
father
,
and
the
mother
the
daughter
,
brother
and
sister
,
neighbor
and
neighbor
,
and
al
one
another
sometimes
for
a
tryfle
,
&
that
with
such
a
fire
of
malice
,
as
is
almost
vnquenchable
.
Oh
how
too
full
are
the
Chronicles
of
the
worlde
,
of
the
horrible
and
miserable
Tragedies
,
that
haue
proceeded
out
of
that
hellish
spirite
of
malice
,
that
hath
spit
her
poyson
through
the
hearts
of
a
great
part
of
the
whole
worlde
,
to
the
destruction
of
a
worlde
of
the
inhabitans
therin
?
Let
me
a
litle
speake
of
this
wicked
spirite
,
and
how
it
wrought
the
fall
of
Lucifer
from
Heauen
(
through
his
malice
)
at
the
Maiestie
of
the
Almightie
:
againe
,
being
falne
from
Heauen
,
how
it
wrought
in
him
the
fall
of
Adam
,
enuying
his
blessed
happines
in
Paradise
,
and
therefore
by
temptation
,
sought
in
as
much
as
hee
could
,
his
destruction
:
In
Cain
it
wrought
an
vnnaturall
hatred
to
the
death
of
Abell
:
in
Esawe
it
wrought
an
vnbrotherly
hatred
to
the
great
feare
of
Iacob
:
in
Pharaoh
it
wrought
an
vnkindly
hatred
to
the
poore
Isralites
,
because
they
throue
by
their
labors
vnder
him
&
increased
in
his
kingdome
:
it
wrough
a
hate
in
the
children
of
Iacob
to
their
brother
Ioseph
,
because
their
father
loued
him
in
breife
,
you
shall
finde
in
the
whole
Scripture
the
hate
of
the
wicked
vnto
the
godly
,
because
God
blesseth
them
:
and
as
in
the
diuine
writ
,
euen
in
these
our
daies
,
do
we
not
see
the
good
hated
of
the
euill
?
which
being
the
spirite
of
so
much
wickednesse
,
as
worketh
so
much
mischeefe
,
what
doth
it
differ
from
the
Deuill
?
Truly
I
thinke
I
may
well
say
,
that
as
it
is
written
,
God
is
charity
and
hee
that
dwelleth
in
charity
dwelleth
in
God
,
and
God
in
him
:
so
contrarily
the
Deuill
is
malice
and
hee
that
dwelleth
in
malice
dwelleth
in
the
Deuill
,
&
the
Diuill
in
hlm
:
But
where
God
entereth
with
his
grace
,
the
Deuill
hath
no
powre
with
his
malice
,
and
though
hee
droue
Adam
out
of
Paradice
,
yet
hee
could
not
keepe
him
out
of
Heauen
:
and
therefore
of
greater
power
is
the
mercy
of
God
,
then
the
malice
of
the
Deuill
:
but
seeing
such
is
the
vile
nature
of
malice
,
as
doth
figure
nothing
more
truly
then
the
Deuill
,
let
no
man
that
can
truly
iudge
of
it
,
but
hate
it
as
the
Deuill
,
which
maketh
a
man
,
in
whom
it
is
hatefull
vnto
God
,
wicked
vnto
man
,
throwen
downe
out
of
Heauen
,
and
cast
into
hell
,
from
which
God
of
his
mercie
blesse
all
his
seruants
for
euermore
:
and
thus
much
touching
the
consideration
of
the
hate
or
malice
in
man
.
The
fifth
Consideration
of
the
crueltie
in
man
.
NOw
as
it
is
euident
by
too
many
proofes
,
that
one
euill
begetteth
another
,
so
in
this
it
appeareth
that
from
the
hate
or
malice
of
man
,
procedeth
the
crueltie
or
tyrannye
executed
vpon
man
:
for
what
beast
in
the
world
was
euer
found
so
tyrannous
vnto
another
,
as
one
man
hath
ben
to
another
?
yea
such
a
power
hath
tyrannye
in
the
hearts
of
some
men
,
as
hath
bene
the
spoile
and
death
of
many
a
thousand
:
what
tyrannye
did
the
Iewes
shewe
in
the
crucifiing
of
our
blessed
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
which
did
proceed
,
not
out
of
any
desert
in
him
(
who
deserued
all
loue
and
honour
of
all
people
)
but
out
of
a
malicious
humour
yfused
into
their
soules
by
the
power
of
the
wicked
finde
?
examples
of
this
vile
and
pestilent
humour
,
not
onely
the
books
of
God
,
as
well
in
the
olde
as
the
new
Testament
,
as
in
many
lamentable
histories
extant
to
the
whole
worlde
,
is
too
ful
of
the
persecution
of
the
Prophets
and
the
chosen
people
of
God
,
by
the
wicked
and
vnbeleeuing
Princes
,
and
people
of
the
worlde
;
some
their
eyes
put
out
,
other
their
tongues
cut
out
,
some
broyled
vpon
hott
Iron
,
other
boyled
in
skalding
lead
:
some
torne
in
peeces
with
horses
,
some
flead
quicke
,
some
starued
to
death
,
other
tortured
with
vnspeakable
torments
,
in
some
for
the
displeasure
conceiued
of
some
one
,
how
many
thousands
haue
suffered
either
death
,
or
vndoing
,
or
both
:
when
whole
howses
,
whole
Cities
,
yea
and
almost
whole
Kingdomes
,
by
the
bloudy
execution
of
tyrany
,
haue
ben
brought
almost
to
vtter
confusion
:
a
Lyon
when
hee
hath
licked
his
lippes
after
warme
bloud
,
returnes
to
his
den
and
takes
his
rest
:
the
Dog
if
he
fight
with
his
match
,
if
hee
runne
away
from
him
,
and
cry
,
he
seldome
pursues
him
,
and
if
he
kill
him
,
he
leaues
him
,
and
as
it
were
mourning
goeth
from
him
,
that
hee
hath
bene
the
death
of
him
:
&
so
of
many
other
beasts
,
Wolues
,
Tygres
,
and
such
like
death
,
or
flight
satisfies
their
crueltie
:
But
man
more
feirce
then
the
Lyon
,
more
bloudie
then
the
Wolfe
,
more
tyranous
then
the
Tygre
,
and
more
dogged
then
the
Dogge
,
will
neuer
be
satisfied
,
till
he
see
the
death
and
seeke
the
ruine
of
the
father
,
childe
,
wife
,
and
seruant
,
kinred
and
generation
,
and
neuer
taketh
rest
through
feare
of
reuenge
,
so
that
he
is
not
onely
tyranous
vnto
other
,
but
through
the
vexation
of
his
spirit
,
is
become
euen
a
torment
vnto
him-selfe
,
whyle
feare
and
wrath
keepe
him
in
continuall
perplexities
:
Oh
how
vnaturall
,
how
monstrous
in
this
horrible
disposition
haue
many
bene
in
the
world
,
some
murthering
their
own
children
,
yea
in
the
time
of
their
infancy
,
some
their
parents
,
some
their
bretheren
,
some
their
Princes
,
some
their
Prophets
,
some
their
maisters
,
some
their
seruants
?
what
crueltie
,
yea
more
then
in
any
beast
,
will
many
such
a
one
shew
to
another
in
pride
,
malice
,
orrevenge
?
the
examples
wherof
the
world
is
euery
day
too
full
of
:
what
Butcher
can
more
cruelly
teare
in
peeces
the
limmes
of
a
beast
,
then
one
man
in
his
malice
will
the
very
heart
of
another
?
what
scourges
,
what
terrors
,
what
tortures
and
what
vnhumaine
kinde
of
mortall
punishments
,
hath
man
deuised
for
man
no
lesse
intolerable
then
inexplicable
?
in
some
the
cryes
,
the
blood
,
the
sorrowes
,
the
miseries
of
the
murthered
,
the
imprisoned
,
the
afflicted
,
and
the
distressed
,
through
the
oppression
of
pryde
,
and
the
tyrannye
of
wrath
,
may
very
well
euen
from
Abell
to
Christ
,
and
from
him
to
the
worlds
end
,
sufficiently
conclude
the
condemnation
of
man
,
for
the
greatest
tyrant
in
the
worlde
.
And
thus
much
touching
the
consideration
of
the
cruelty
or
tyranny
in
man
.
The
sixt
Consideration
of
the
basenes
of
man
.
HAuing
now
spoken
of
the
smalnesse
,
the
vilenesse
,
the
foolishnesse
,
the
hate
,
and
the
crueltie
in
man
,
let
me
a
litle
shew
him
the
basenesse
of
his
condition
,
in
going
from
that
nature
of
grace
wherin
he
was
created
,
vnto
that
horror
of
sinne
by
which
hee
is
confounded-God
in
his
gracious
nature
made
him
like
vnto
himselfe
in
holinesse
,
purenesse
,
and
righteousnesse
,
and
through
these
graces
,
amiable
in
his
sight
,
sociable
for
his
Angells
,
and
coheire
with
his
blessed
Sonne
in
the
paradise
of
the
soule
:
what
greater
title
of
honour
,
then
to
weare
a
Crowne
?
what
Crowne
so
rich
as
of
grace
?
what
grace
so
high
as
in
Heauen
?
and
what
glory
so
great
as
to
bee
gracious
in
the
sight
of
God
:
all
which
was
man
?
(
through
grace
)
assured
of
,
and
through
the
lacke
,
carlesse
,
wherof
,
hath
not
only
lost
all
,
but
through
sinne
is
become
vgly
in
the
sight
of
God
,
banished
the
courte
of
Heauen
,
and
through
the
drossy
loue
of
the
worlde
become
a
slaue
to
the
Deuill
in
hell
.
What
basenesse
can
be
more
then
man
by
sinne
hath
thus
drawne
vpon
himselfe
?
who
while
hee
should
looke
towards
Heauen
,
is
digging
in
the
earth
,
while
hee
shoulde
thinke
vpon
Heauen
is
puzled
in
the
world
,
and
while
he
should
be
soaring
towards
Heauen
,
is
sinking
into
hell
:
Oh
base
wretch
,
that
seeing
the
shamefull
nature
of
sinne
,
will
yet
so
be
meire
his
soule
with
the
filth
thereof
,
that
of
the
best
and
noblest
creature
,
hee
becometh
the
worst
and
most
base
of
all
other
.
Will
the
Spaniels
leaue
their
maister
to
carry
the
tinkers
budget
?
will
the
horse
leaue
the
warlike
rider
to
drawe
in
a
carte
?
and
will
man
leaue
the
King
of
Heauen
to
serue
a
slaue
in
hell
?
Oh
basenes
of
all
basenes
!
in
Heauen
is
man
a
companion
for
the
Saintes
,
the
virgins
,
the
martyrs
and
the
Angells
:
In
hell
for
the
fiends
,
ougly
spirits
,
and
horrible
Deuills
.
And
is
not
hee
of
a
base
spirit
,
that
will
leaue
the
heauenly
for
the
hellish
company
?
fie
vpon
the
basenesse
of
man
,
that
by
sinne
will
bee
brought
vnto
so
base
a
nature
:
there
is
no
place
so
base
as
hell
,
which
is
called
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
the
receptacle
of
all
filthinesse
,
the
caue
of
the
accursed
,
the
denne
of
the
desperate
,
the
habitation
of
the
reprobate
,
the
horror
of
nature
,
the
terror
of
reason
,
the
torment
of
sinne
,
the
misery
of
time
,
the
night
of
darknesse
,
and
the
endles
torture
,
where
Serpents
,
Dragons
,
Night-rauens
,
and
Shrich-owles
,
make
the
best
musique
in
the
eares
of
the
damned
;
where
all
obiects
are
so
ougly
,
all
substances
so
filthy
,
all
voyces
so
frightfull
,
all
torments
so
continuall
,
all
paines
so
pitiles
,
all
care
so
comfortles
,
and
all
hurte
so
helplesse
,
that
if
a
man
through
sin
were
not
worse
then
a
beast
,
hee
would
not
shew
more
basenesse
then
in
the
most
beastly
nature
of
the
most
beastly
creature
:
what
shall
I
say
?
such
is
the
basenesse
of
sinne
in
the
imbasing
of
our
spirits
,
and
so
base
are
our
spirits
in
the
yeelding
to
the
basenesse
of
sinne
,
that
I
must
conclude
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
(
thinking
of
the
glory
of
God
,
and
the
basenesse
of
man
)
Oh
what
is
man
that
thou
O
God
wilt
vouchsafe
to
looke
vpon
him
?
And
so
much
in
breife
touching
the
consideration
of
the
basenesse
of
man
.
The
seauenth
Consideration
touching
the
ignominie
or
defame
of
man
.
IT
is
an
olde
prouerbe
(
and
too
often
true
)
that
hee
who
hath
an
euill
name
is
halfe
hanged
:
and
surely
that
man
that
delighteth
in
sinne
,
by
the
name
of
a
reprobate
,
is
more
then
halfe
damned
before
hee
come
in
hell
,
to
bee
called
a
villaine
is
a
name
of
great
infamy
,
and
doth
not
sinne
make
a
man
a
villaine
to
God
?
to
be
called
a
Dogge
is
most
hatefull
to
man
,
and
is
not
man
called
a
hell-hound
by
the
hate
of
his
sinne
?
would
not
man
bee
loath
to
be
tearmed
a
Serpent
,
and
hath
not
sinne
made
man
become
of
a
Serpent
like
nature
?
Oh
the
filth
of
sinne
,
how
hath
it
fouled
,
and
defiled
the
nature
of
man
?
the
vtter
infamy
of
his
name
,
the
election
of
loue
,
the
Image
of
God
?
the
Lord
of
the
best
of
creatures
,
to
become
the
hated
of
grace
,
the
substance
of
drosse
,
the
worste
of
creatures
,
and
the
slaue
of
hell
?
what
a
shame
is
this
to
man
(
by
sinne
)
to
fall
into
so
foule
an
infamy
?
Is
it
not
a
name
of
great
disgrace
to
be
called
a
disobedient
Sonne
or
a
faithlesse
seruant
?
a
rebellious
subiect
,
or
vnthankfull
freinde
?
an
vnkinde
brother
,
and
an
vnnaturall
childe
?
and
is
not
man
by
sinne
become
all
this
vnto
God
?
to
bee
stubborne
to
so
louing
a
Father
,
false
to
so
good
a
maister
,
rebellious
to
so
gratious
a
King
,
vnkinde
to
so
kinde
a
brother
,
and
vnthankfull
to
so
bountifull
a
Lorde
?
it
is
a
shame
to
liue
to
beare
the
iust
blotts
of
such
blames
:
one
of
these
faults
were
enough
,
but
altogether
,
are
too
too
much
.
The
Dogg
will
follow
his
maister
,
the
Horse
will
cary
his
maister
,
and
will
man
runne
from
his
maister
?
the
Oxe
knowes
his
stall
,
and
the
Asse
his
cribbe
,
and
shall
not
man
know
his
place
of
rest
after
his
labours
?
then
more
vile
then
the
Dogg
,
more
vnkinde
then
the
Horse
,
more
foolish
then
either
Oxe
or
Asse
.
Fie
what
an
infamy
is
this
vnto
man
?
a
seruant
to
entertaine
his
maister
vnkindly
,
to
vse
him
villanously
,
and
to
kill
him
shamefully
,
were
not
this
a
horrible
infamy
,
and
did
not
the
Iewes
so
with
Christ
?
to
forget
a
kindnesse
,
to
distruste
a
truth
,
and
to
abuse
a
blessing
?
is
not
he
infamous
that
doth
so
,
and
what
sinner
but
doth
so
?
so
that
still
I
see
infamy
vpon
infamy
▪
one
followeth
another
by
the
venome
of
sinne
to
the
shame
of
man
:
to
leaue
robes
of
silke
for
rotten
raggs
,
sweete
wine
for
puddle
water
,
and
a
pleasant
walke
for
a
filthy
hole
:
what
foole
would
doe
this
,
and
doth
not
sinneful
man
doe
this
?
leaue
the
rich
graces
(
the
comly
vestures
of
the
soule
)
for
the
poore
fading
pleasures
of
the
flesh
?
the
sweete
water
of
life
for
the
puddle
watter
of
death
?
the
filthy
pleasures
of
this
world
,
and
the
comfortable
way
to
Heauen
,
for
the
miserable
way
to
hell
?
Oh
wretched
,
blinded
,
sencelesse
,
&
bewitched
foole
,
that
doost
suffer
sinne
so
much
to
be-foole
thy
vnderstanding
!
Looke
I
say
what
a
name
thou
iustly
gettest
,
by
yeelding
thy
seruice
vnto
sinne
:
a
slaue
,
a
foole
,
a
beast
,
a
serpent
,
a
monster
,
and
of
the
best
,
the
worste
creature
in
the
worlde
.
Loose
the
beautie
wherein
thou
werte
created
,
the
honour
wherwith
thou
werte
intitled
,
the
riches
whereof
thou
werte
possessed
,
the
libertie
that
thou
enioyedst
,
the
loue
wherein
thou
liuedst
,
and
the
life
wherein
thou
reioycedst
;
to
put
on
deformitie
in
nature
,
basenes
in
ciuilitie
,
beggery
in
wante
of
grace
,
bondage
in
slauery
,
hate
hate
wherin
thou
diest
,
and
death
wherin
thou
arte
euer
accursed
;
and
all
this
through
sin
:
who
now
could
in
the
glasse
of
truth
,
beholde
this
vglye
obiecte
of
sinne
,
and
would
gaine
himselfe
so
foule
an
infamy
,
as
to
be
called
an
obiect
?
through
the
loue
thereof
,
hath
not
Cain
from
the
beginning
,
bene
iustly
called
a
murtherer
?
Laban
a
cozener
,
Sampson
a
foole
,
Achitophel
a
knaue
,
Salomon
an
Idolator
,
Symon
magus
a
sorcerer
,
Diues
an
Epicure
,
and
Iudas
a
traytor
,
and
the
Deuill
a
lyar
?
and
wilt
thou
(
Oh
man
)
that
readest
and
beleeuest
all
this
,
bee
infected
,
nay
delighted
in
all
these
sinnes
?
to
receiue
the
name
of
a
murtherer

acozener
,
a
foole
,
a
knaue
,
an
Idolator
,
a
a

a

Oh
most
hellish
titles
to
set
out
the

of
infamye
!
which
to
auoyde
,
seeing
thy
vildenes

praye
to

to

thee
from
