MEDITATIONS
AND
PRAYERS
.
I
will
meditate
in
thy
precepts
,
and
consider
thy
waies
:
Psalm.
119.15
.
Teach
mee
to
doe
the
thing
that
pleaseth
thee
,
for
thou
art
my
God
:
Psalm.
143.10
.
If
I
regard
wickednes
in
mine
heart
,
the
Lord
will
not
heare
me
:
Psal.
66.18
.
The
Lord
is
neere
vnto
all
that
call
vpon
him
,
euen
to
all
that
call
vpon
him
in
truth
:
Psal.
145.18
.
Enemies
to
deuotion
:
first
sinfull
lusts
.
HE
that
hath
an
aguish
fitte
vpon
him
,
can
taste
nothing
well
,
but
all
things
,
euen
the
most
sweete
and
wholesome
meats
are
vnsauorie
to
him
;
he
can
find
no
relish
in
them
:
So
it
is
with
the
man
whose
soule
is
distempered
through
sinne
.
He
findes
no
sweetnes
,
no
sauour
in
the
things
of
God
;
yea
his
soule
doth
loath
and
abhorre
them
though
they
be
sweeter
then
Manna
it selfe
.
O
Lord
keepe
me
from
this
spiritual
distemperature
,
which
of
all
others
is
most
dangerous
;
and
grant
that
I
may
alwaies
delight
in
those
things
which
are
pleasing
vnto
thee
;
yea
that
I
may
finde
much
sweetnes
in
them
,
euen
in
meditation
,
praier
,
and
all
other
holy
exercises
,
which
thou
hast
prescribed
in
thy
word
,
that
so
my
soule
may
liue
for
euer
.
2
Worldly
Cares
.
THe
cares
of
this
world
,
and
the
desire
of
these
earthly
vanities
,
oh
what
snares
they
are
to
the
soule
and
to
the
spirit
of
a
man
!
How
many
are
taken
in
them
,
and
so
brought
into
a
kinde
of
thraldome
&
bondage
!
What
incumbrances
are
they
vnto
them
in
the
performance
of
good
actions
!
How
doe
they
coole
,
yea
quench
the
holy
motions
,
the
godly
desires
and
purposes
of
the
heart
,
and
hinder
it
from
diuine
and
heauenly
meditations
,
which
otherwise
it
would
relish
farre
better
,
and
finde
much
more
sweetnes
and
delight
therein
,
then
now
it
doth
!
O
my
God
,
preserue
thou
mee
both
now
and
alwaies
from
the
inordinate
and
immoderate
cares
of
this
euill
world
,
and
from
the
excessiue
and
vnlawfull
desire
and
affection
of
all
vaine
and
transitorie
things
:
Let
me
not
be
insnared
,
and
intangled
with
them
,
as
others
are
;
Let
them
not
be
any
let
or
hindrance
vnto
my
soule
,
to
withdraw
it
from
the
more
serious
meditation
of
spirituall
and
heauenly
things
;
or
in
any
sort
to
coole
my
affection
towards
them
,
or
to
cause
me
to
take
the
lesse
pleasure
and
delight
in
them
,
or
to
be
the
more
vnfit
to
be
conuersant
about
them
:
Let
them
not
so
oppresse
my
minde
,
that
I
should
finde
lesse
libertie
and
freedome
of
spirit
in
good
things
,
or
become
more
vnapt
for
the
performance
of
any
dutie
of
thy
worship
and
seruice
,
any
holy
or
religious
exercise
which
thou
requirest
of
me
;
but
grant
I
beseech
thee
,
that
seeing
how
deceitfull
this
world
is
,
how
vaine
all
things
here
below
are
,
I
may
daily
be
more
and
more
weaned
from
the
loue
and
desire
of
them
;
yea
may
haue
thy
loue
so
shed
into
my
heart
,
that
all
my
delight
may
be
in
thee
,
all
my
affections
set
vpon
thee
,
in
such
sort
,
that
all
carnall
and
earthly
things
which
would
withdraw
me
from
thee
,
and
from
the
loue
of
spirituall
and
heauenly
things
,
may
be
bitter
and
vnpleasant
vnto
me
;
and
that
I
may
serue
thee
with
more
chearefulnes
,
and
alacritie
all
my
daies
,
to
thy
glorie
,
and
to
the
increase
of
my
happines
in
thy
kingdome
.
3
Sathans
suggestions
.
THat
euil
and
enuious
spirit
,
the
enemie
of
al
mankinde
,
neuer
resteth
,
but
seeketh
vncessantly
to
cast
ill
motions
,
and
suggestions
into
the
hearts
of
men
,
and
to
draw
away
their
minds
from
euery
good
thing
which
they
enterprise
and
take
in
hand
:
He
vseth
all
meanes
to
make
them
faint
in
the
seruice
of
God
,
to
coole
their
zeale
,
to
quench
their
spirituall
deuotion
,
to
hinder
them
in
the
performance
of
all
good
duties
,
and
religious
exercises
,
which
might
make
for
the
increase
of
grace
in
them
;
and
to
cause
them
(
if
it
be
possible
)
to
fall
from
that
purpose
of
heart
,
and
godly
resolution
which
heretofore
they
haue
had
to
continue
in
the
Lord
,
and
to
walke
in
the
waies
which
he
hath
commanded
:
yea
no
sooner
shall
the
good
spirit
inspire
into
them
any
good
motions
,
any
holy
desires
,
but
that
wicked
and
envious
one
standing
readie
at
hand
,
will
labour
presentlie
to
strangle
them
,
so
that
they
shal
neuer
come
to
any
effect
,
but
vanish
away
and
leaue
the
hearte
more
heardened
,
and
lesse
capable
of
goodnes
and
of
any
spirituall
and
heauenly
grace
,
then
euer
it
was
before
.
Oh
how
closely
,
and
how
slily
doth
he
insinuate
himselfe
into
the
minds
of
men
,
and
deceiue
and
delude
them
in
this
maner
,
when
they
think
little
he
is
so
neare
them
,
or
so
busie
in
working
them
so
great
a
mischiefe
,
euen
that
which
(
if
it
be
not
carefully
preuented
in
time
)
wil
be
their
vtter
ruine
in
the
end
!
O
Lord
,
let
me
neuer
giue
eare
vnto
the
deceitfull
inchantments
,
and
to
the
enticing
&
dangerous
charmes
of
that
subtile
and
wilie
serpent
,
who
is
alwaies
hissing
about
me
;
Let
me
not
once
listen
vnto
him
,
nor
yeeld
vnto
any
of
his
suggestions
,
but
alwaies
resist
him
in
the
first
motions
vnto
euery
sinne
wherunto
he
shall
tempt
me
.
And
whensoeuer
that
good
spirit
of
thine
shall
speake
inwardly
and
secretlie
vnto
my
soule
,
and
inspire
any
good
thought
,
any
holie
affection
or
desire
into
my
heart
,
let
me
hearken
thereunto
,
as
vnto
thy
voice
:
Let
me
carefullie
vse
the
meanes
to
foster
and
cherish
such
beginnings
of
grace
as
it
shall
please
thee
in
mercie
and
goodnes
to
infuse
into
me
;
that
so
I
may
not
fall
away
from
any
good
thing
which
thou
hast
wrought
in
me
heretofore
;
nor
finde
my selfe
more
vnfit
,
or
vnto
ward
vnto
any
dutie
,
or
spirituall
exercise
,
wherein
heretofore
thou
hast
caused
me
to
take
much
ioy
and
great
delight
;
but
graunt
that
I
may
daily
increase
in
grace
,
and
goe
forward
cheerefully
&
constantly
in
the
wayes
of
pietie
and
true
holines
,
and
with
full
purpose
of
heart
cleaue
fast
vnto
thee
,
to
the
end
of
my
daies
,
neuer
forsaking
thee
,
nor
being
forsaken
of
thee
,
who
art
the
God
of
my
hope
,
my
strength
,
&
my
saluation
.
WORKES
OF
CREAtion
.
ALl
the
workes
of
God
are
excellent
and
glorious
,
if
we
stand
to
consider
them
,
Who
is
there
that
considereth
of
them
aright
,
or
is
so
affected
with
them
as
he
ought
?
Lord
let
me
alwaies
delight
to
be
searching
into
them
;
and
in
them
,
as
in
a
glasse
,
see
cleerely
thy
wisdome
,
and
mightie
power
;
and
learne
to
know
thee
,
the
Creator
of
all
things
both
in
heauen
and
in
earth
,
and
in
all
places
:
and
knowing
thee
,
to
worship
and
serue
thee
,
in
spirit
and
truth
,
lest
I
be
like
vnto
the
heathen
,
who
when
by
the
frame
and
workmanship
of
the
world
,
and
the
creatures
therein
,
(
wherein
thy
maruellous
wisdom
is
ingrauen
)
they
knew
thee
to
be
God
,
and
yet
glorified
thee
not
as
God
,
became
vile
and
abominable
,
and
altogether
inxecusable
,
forsaking
thee
their
Creator
,
who
art
blessed
for
euer
.
Amen
.
Worke
of
Redemption
.
OF
al
the
workes
of
God
,
that
of
the
Redemption
of
man-kind
,
is
most
wonderfull
and
glorious
,
whether
we
consider
the
person
of
the
Redeemer
,
the
persons
redeemed
,
or
the
meanes
,
and
manner
in
and
by
which
it
was
effected
and
brought
to
passe
.
It
passeth
all
knowledge
,
all
vnderstanding
.
The
Angels
,
Mercies
of
God
.
WE
can
neuer
be
sufficiently
thankfull
vnto
the
Lord
,
for
the
least
of
those
blessings
which
he
daily
,
and
most
freely
vouchsafeth
vnto
vs
;
health
,
peace
,
libertie
,
maintenance
and
continuall
protection
&
preseruation
,
&c.
and
yet
who
is
there
almost
that
is
heartily
and
vnfainedly
thankefull
for
those
great
and
wonderfull
mercies
of
his
which
concerne
our
eternall
happinesse
&
saluation
in
the
heauens
,
euen
that
glorious
estate
,
which
of
his
free
grace
and
bountie
he
hath
promised
vnto
vs
,
and
will
in
due
time
giue
vs
full
possession
of
for
euer
.
O
the
exceeding
dulnesse
of
the
hearts
of
men
,
that
are
no
more
mooued
with
the
consideration
of
these
things
!
yea
that
esteeme
more
of
those
ordinary
kindnesses
which
are
shewed
vnto
them
by
men
,
then
of
all
those
infinit
and
vnspeakable
blessings
and
benefites
which
are
vouchsafed
vnto
them
by
so
gratious
a
God
,
so
kinde
and
louing
a
Father
.
O
Lord
,
let
me
neuer
be
vnmindfull
of
the
least
of
thy
mercies
and
fauours
,
which
thou
hast
shewed
vnto
me
from
the
beginning
of
my
life
vnto
this
present
;
giue
me
a
thankful
heart
for
them
:
especially
lift
vp
my
heart
and
soule
,
vnto
a
due
and
serious
meditation
of
those
great
and
inestimable
mercies
of
thine
,
wherein
thou
hast
in
a
speciall
maner
shewed
thy selfe
so
exceeding
good
and
gratious
vnto
me
,
in
electing
me
vnto
life
and
saluation
;
in
freeing
and
deliuering
me
from
that
wretched
estate
,
and
that
wofull
miserie
,
whereinto
I
was
so
deeply
plunged
by
the
sin
of
my
first
parents
;
in
redeeming
me
therefrom
,
by
so
deare
a
price
,
euen
the
death
of
thine
own
Sonne
,
my
blessed
Sauiour
;
in
adopting
me
into
the
number
of
thy
children
by
faith
in
him
;
and
in
prouiding
that
glorious
mansion
for
me
in
the
heauens
,
there
to
liue
and
raigne
with
thee
for
euer
.
O
giue
me
a
liuely
sense
and
feeling
,
of
thy
goodnesse
,
thy
loue
and
vnspeakable
mercies
,
so
gratiously
vouchsafed
vnto
me
so
vile
and
vnworthie
a
creature
:
Inflame
my
heart
with
an
vnfained
and
most
entire
loue
of
thy
maiestie
;
and
let
my
mouth
alwaies
praise
thee
;
yea
let
me
in
heart
,
in
soule
,
and
with
all
the
powers
of
the
same
praise
thee
continually
,
and
yeeld
that
glorie
which
is
due
vnto
thee
both
now
,
and
euermore
.
Amen
.
The
folly
of
the
wicked
to
be
wondered
at
.
I
Maruell
much
,
when
I
reade
how
the
Israelits
being
in
the
way
to
Canaan
(
a
type
of
heauen
for
the
goodnesse
and
pleasantnesse
of
it
)
desired
so
oft
,
and
so
earnestly
to
returne
againe
into
Egypt
(
a
figure
of
hell
it selfe
)
where
they
had
been
so
hardly
intreated
,
yea
so
cruelly
and
vnmercifully
handled
:
But
much
more
do
I
maruell
,
&
can
neuer
sufficientlie
wonder
at
those
,
who
when
the
Lord
offers
to
bring
them
out
of
the
house
of
that
spirituall
bondage
,
and
not
onely
to
free
them
from
the
power
of
darknesse
,
and
the
tyrannie
of
sinne
and
Sathan
,
but
also
by
the
light
of
his
word
&
spirit
,
to
leade
and
conduct
them
safely
into
that
heauenly
Canaan
,
which
floweth
with
the
milk
&
honie
of
his
rich
and
plentifull
graces
,
euen
the
inheritance
of
his
chosen
,
the
place
where
his
honour
dwelleth
;
desire
rather
notwithstanding
,
still
to
be
vnder
the
hands
of
their
cruel
taske-masters
,
in
the
kilnes
among
the
bricks
,
and
in
the
yron
fornace
,
and
to
indure
the
most
seruile
,
and
the
most
wofull
and
wretched
thraldome
and
slauery
,
that
euer
was
or
can
be
possibly
,
that
so
they
may
fill
themselues
with
the
Onions
and
Garlike
of
Egypt
.
Lord
,
let
the
counsell
of
the
wicked
be
farre
from
me
:
suffer
not
thy
seruant
to
delight
in
the
waies
of
such
a
foolish
generation
,
who
know
not
thee
,
nor
regard
that
which
should
be
their
happines
.
But
let
me
euer
praise
thee
with
ioyfulnesse
,
that
thou
hast
deliuered
my
soule
out
of
the
hands
of
my
cruell
and
deadly
enemies
,
and
brought
me
from
the
house
of
bondage
,
the
kingdome
of
darknesse
and
death
it selfe
,
into
the
wayes
which
leade
vnto
thy
heauenly
and
glorious
kingdome
.
And
although
I
am
for
a
while
,
to
wander
in
the
wildernesse
of
this
world
,
and
here
to
indure
much
hardnes
,
and
to
passe
thorow
many
difficulties
and
troubles
,
before
I
can
enter
into
the
land
of
promise
,
yet
let
me
neuer
faint
or
be
discouraged
;
much
lesse
be
so
euill
disposed
,
as
to
repine
,
or
murmure
at
any
time
against
thee
,
and
desire
to
returne
to
the
sinfull
courses
of
the
world
,
or
linger
after
these
earthly
vanities
,
but
goe
forward
according
vnto
thy
direction
,
with
faith
,
hope
,
and
patience
,
looking
continually
for
the
performance
of
thy
gratious
promise
,
that
so
at
length
I
may
enter
into
thy
rest
,
and
liue
&
raigne
with
thee
eternally
.
The
hurt
and
danger
which
sin
bringeth
.
WHat
euill
is
there
that
sinne
bringeth
not
with
it
?
It
closeth
the
Lords
hand
;
it
drieth
vp
the
fountaine
of
his
blessings
and
mercies
;
it
keepeth
all
good
things
from
vs
;
it
pulleth
downe
all
kindes
of
plagues
,
miseries
,
and
iudgements
in
this
world
;
and
in
the
end
will
not
onely
barre
the
gates
of
heauen
against
those
that
liue
and
die
in
it
,
without
true
and
vnfained
repentance
,
but
also
setteth
hel-gates
wide
open
for
them
,
&
draw
them
right
downe
into
the
depth
of
endlesse
perdition
and
destruction
,
the
house
of
darknesse
,
and
the
place
of
the
damned
.
O
what
follie
is
it
to
delight
in
sinne
,
which
is
euerie
way
so
hurtfull
and
dangerous
,
not
onely
depriuing
vs
of
that
which
is
good
,
but
also
bringing
vpon
vs
the
greatest
euils
!
O
Lord
keepe
me
from
falling
into
anie
sinne
,
let
me
euer
abhorre
it
and
flie
from
it
,
as
from
my
greatest
enemie
:
so
shall
I
be
free
from
thy
fearefull
iudgements
the
wages
&
due
desert
of
sinne
:
yea
so
shall
I
be
compassed
with
thy
mercies
,
and
crowned
with
thy
blessings
for

.
Death
alwaies
to
be
expected
and
prouided
for
.
LOrd
,
thou
hast
gratiously
sent
thy
harbingers
aforehand
to
forewarne
me
of
thy
comming
.
Let
my
maine
care
be
,
to
be
alwaies
readie
prouided
for
thee
,
that
so
that
day
which
is
iustlie
feared
of
the
most
;
yea
the
remembrance
whereof
is
bitter
vnto
many
,
euen
those
that
take
their
pleasure
in
wickednes
,
may
be
most
welcome
and
ioyfull
vnto
me
;
the
end
of
all
my
miseries
,
and
the
entrance
into
that
glorie
&
blessednes
which
thou
hast
promised
,
and
which
I
expect
and
long
for
:
I
desire
to
be
dissolued
and
to
be
with
thee
my
Sauiour
;
for
that
is
best
of
all
.
Another
of
the
same
.
AS
the
Lord
will
come
in
that
last
and
generall
iudgement
when
he
is
not
looked
for
of
many
;
so
by
particular
iudgment
,
euen
by
vnexpected
death
,
he
doth
now
often
suddenly
surprize
many
when
they
thinke
little
he
is
so
neere
.
It
is
not
seldome
,
that
we
haue
such
glasses
set
before
our
eyes
wherein
we
may
cleerely
see
the
truth
hereof
,
although
indeed
few
there
be
that
delight
to
look
thereinto
;
the
view
notwithstanding
,
and
daily
consideration
whereof
,
were
verie
profitable
for
them
.
Lord
,
let
me
euer
be
mindful
of
my
frail
&
mortall
estate
and
condition
in
this
world
:
let
me
alwaies
be
ready
at
thy
call
,
euer
prepared
for
thy
comming
in
the
day
of
my
dissolution
,
which
as
I
am
perswaded
is
not
farre
off
,
so
it
may
be
neerer
then
I
thinke
of
.
O
let
me
liue
euery
day
as
if
it
were
my
last
day
;
euery
houre
and
moment
,
as
if
it
were
the
last
houre
and
minute
of
this
transitorie
and
vncertaine
life
of
mine
;
that
so
whiles
I
liue
I
may
die
dayly
;
and
when
I
die
once
,
I
may
liue
for
euer
.
Gods
glorie
carefully
to
be
sought
for
in
all
things
.
ALl
things
were
made
for
Gods
glorie
.
For
this
end
the
Lord
giueth
being
vnto
all
creatures
:
for
this
we
liue
,
moue
,
and
receiue
all
those
blessings
which
we
enioy
.
And
there
is
none
of
vs
,
but
shall
be
called
vnto
an
account
,
when
the
day
of
reckoning
commeth
,
how
we
haue
referred
all
our
actions
vnto
this
end
;
whether
we
haue
in
all
things
,
and
aboue
all
things
sought
the
glorie
of
God
,
and
the
aduancement
thereof
by
all
good
meanes
,
euen
to
the
vttermost
of
our
p●●●er
and
abilitie
.
Euerie
houre
that
hath
been
spent
otherwise
,
〈◊〉
registred
,
and
must
be
answered
for
in
that
day
.
Oh
what
a
heauy
account
shall
the
most
haue
then
to
make
,
who
now
make
this
the
least
part
of
their
care
,
yea
who
altogether
peruert
the
end
for
which
they
were
created
and
sent
into
the
world
,
being
so
farre
from
glorifying
God
in
all
their
actions
,
that
they
doe
nothing
but
dishonour
him
thoroughout
the
whole
course
of
their
liues
;
giuing
that
vnto
Sathan
,
which
is
the
Lords
due
,
and
which
he
calleth
for
continually
of
them
!
where
shall
they
appeare
when
he
shall
require
these
things
at
their
hands
?
Certaine
,
I
cannot
but
wonder
that
such
can
sleepe
in
rest
one
houre
,
whose
case
is
so
fearefull
and
miserable
,
especially
since
they
know
not
,
how
soone
,
how
suddenly
they
shall
be
called
to
their
reckoning
,
if
not
at
that
generall
Audit
,
yet
at
their
particular
counts-day
,
the
day
of
death
.
Lord
,
as
thou
hast
made
me
for
thy
glory
,
so
let
my
eye
be
alwaies
fixed
vpon
the
same
;
let
me
be
carefull
alwaies
by
all
meanes
to
seeke
the
furtherance
and
aduancement
of
the
same
;
yea
doe
thou
inflame
my
heart
with
a
holy
zeale
thereof
.
Let
the
coales
thereof
be
fiery
,
and
the
flame
vehement
,
that
so
nothing
may
be
able
to
quench
it
;
not
the
deepe
waters
,
and
raging
streames
of
the
greatest
troubles
and
afflictions
which
can
betide
me
;
no
,
not
the
losse
of
life
it selfe
,
and
all
things
which
I
enioy
,
or
this
world
could
afford
me
.
Oh
that
thou
wouldst
kindle
and
increase
this
grace
daily
more
and
more
in
me
,
and
cause
it
to
breake
forth
in
all
the
actions
of
my
life
,
that
so
glorifying
thee
here
for
a
while
,
I
may
hereafter
be
glorified
of
thee
for
euer
,
euen
with
that
fulnes
of
glory
which
thou
wilt
giue
vnto
thy
Saints
.
No
standing
at
a
stay
in
Christianitie
.
HE
that
thinketh
that
he
hath
attained
to
perfection
,
and
therefore
standeth
at
a
stay
,
and
striueth
to
goe
no
further
,
may
well
suspect
himselfe
,
and
feare
that
either
he
is
vndermined
with
a
dangerous
temptation
;
or
else
that
indeed
be
hath
heretofore
deceiued
himselfe
and
his
owne
soule
,
thinking
himselfe
to
be
some
thing
,
when
he
was
nothing
,
and
iudging
farre
otherwise
of
his
estate
,
then
he
ought
to
haue
done
.
Lord
,
let
me
euery
day
more
and
more
see
mine
own
weakenesse
and
vnprofitablenesse
,
euen
how
farre
I
come
short
of
that
which
thou
requirest
of
me
;
that
so
forgetting
that
which
is
behind
,
I
may
endeuour
my selfe
vnto
that
which
is
before
,
and
striue
daily
to
make
further
proceedings
,
and
to
attaine
to
a
greater
measure
of
grace
and
godlinesse
,
till
I
come
vnto
that
perfection
which
it
hath
pleased
thee
(
from
whose
diuine
dispensation
onely
it
is
)
to
allott
vnto
me
.
The
benefit
which
is
receiued
by
the
mutuall
prayers
of
the
faithfull
.
THe
prayer
of
one
righteous
man
is
neuer
without
fruit
,
but
auaileth
much
if
it
be
feruent
,
and
proceed
from
a
pure
mind
,
and
a
beleeuing
heart
:
how
much
more
the
earnest
supplications
of
the
assemblies
of
the
Saints
and
seruants
of
God
,
euen
his
faithfull
and
beloued
ones
?
no
doubt
they
pierce
the
cloudes
,
open
heauen-gates
,
and
enter
into
the
presence
of
God
himselfe
,
and
so
preuaile
with
him
,
that
they
cause
him
,
as
to
keepe
backe
his
iudgements
,
where
they
are
feared
,
so
to
powre
down
his
blessings
in
abundance
where
they
are
desired
.
O
Lord
grant
that
I
may
be
frequent
,
and
earnest
in
praier
both
publique
and
priuate
,
for
my selfe
and
for
others
,
euen
for
thy
Saints
,
especially
thy
afflicted
and
distressed
ones
,
either
in
bodie
or
in
mind
;
and
let
it
please
thee
,
as
to
make
me
carefull
daily
to
pray
,
and
powre
out
my
suits
and
supplications
vnto
thee
for
others
,
so
also
in
goodnesse
to
vouchsafe
this
grace
and
fauour
vnto
me
,
that
I
may
enioy
the
fruite
and
benefite
of
the
prayers
of
thy
seruants
,
wheresoeuer
or
whensoeuer
they
shall
be
assembled
in
thy
name
,
crauing
for
thy
blessing
vpon
thy
Church

chosen
children

Heare
O
Lord
from
heauen
,
and
be
mercifull
vnto
all
and
euerie
one
of
thine
that
cals
vpon
thee
in
truth

faithfulnes
:
let
them
taste
of
the
sweetnesse
of
thy

;
yea
let
their
emptie
soules
be
satisfied
and
filled
with
thy
grace
and
goodnesse
,
that
so
they
may
praise
thee
with
ioyfulnesse
,
and
both
with

sing
vnto
thy
glory
all
their

Blessings
of
God
are
not
the
lesse
to
be
regarded
because
they
are
common
.
EVen
that
glorious
creature
the
Sunne
,
because
it
riseth
euerie
day
vpon
vs
,
is
little
thought
of
,
or
regarded
of
the
most
:
The
wondrous
and
admirable
works
of
God
,
because
they
are
ordinarie
and
daily
set
before
our
eyes
,
how
meanely
are
they
accounted
of
?
the
greatest
mercies
and
blessings
of
God
because
we
heare
of
them
,
and
enioy
them
continually
,
how
slightly
are
they
passed
ouer
by
many
▪
of
how
few
so
highly
prized
and
esteemed
as
they
ought
to
be
?
Lord
,
let
not
thy
workes
,
thy
mercies
and
fauours
,
wherein
thou
hast
shewed
thy selfe
so
exceeding
gratious
vnto
me
aboue
all
deserts
of
mine
;
let
not
them
seeme
the
lesse
in
my
eyes
,
because
it
pleaseth
thee
in
great
kindnesse
to
make
them
ordinary
&
vsuall
vnto
me
:
let
me
not
be
the
lesse
mindfull
of
them
,
the
lesse
thankfull
vnto
thee
for
them
,
because
in
the
riches
of
thy
loue
thou
vouchsafest
to
make
them
common
by
the
continuall
supplie
and
increase
of
them
:
yea
rather
let
me
(
as
it
is
meete
I
should
)
be
moued
and
drawne
to
be
so
much
the
more
frequent
in
the
daily
and
conscionable
performance
of
those
ordinarie
duties
and
seruices
which
thou
requirest
of
me
;
and
as
thou
enlargest
thy
hand
in
the
continuance
and
increase
of
thy
mercies
towards
me
,
so
inlarge
my
heart
,
I
humblie
beseech
thee
,
that
I
may
daily
more
and
more
increase
in
true
thankefulnesse
vnto
thee
,
vnto
whom
I
owe
my selfe
,
and
all
things
that
I
haue
:
for
in
thee
I
haue
all
things
;
without
thee
I
can
neither
enioy
nor
hope
for
any
thing
which
is
good
,
or
to
be
desired
.
The
Angels
watch
ouer
the
godlie
.
O
How
strongly
are
Gods
children
continually
garded
!
Lo
what
multitudes
of
those
heauenly
souldiours
doe
attend
vpon
them
daily
,
hourely
,
euerie
moment
;
watch
ouer
them
,
yea
compasse
them
round
about
on
euerie
side
,
so
that
they
can
haue
no
hurt
,
but
liue
and
end
their
daies
in
peace
,
safety
and
happinesse
.
O
how
blinde
are
the
eyes
of
men
that
they
doe
not
see
and
behold
them
;
yea
rather
how
weake
is
their
faith
,
that
will
not
beleeue
this
,
because
they
cannot
see
them
with
the
eyes
of
their
bodies
!
Foolish
and
faithlesse
people
,
who
will
be
perswaed
of
no
more
,
then
they
can
see
with
the
eye
of
flesh
,
and
haue
an
external
view
of
,
by
their
outward
sense
!
why
doe
they
not
as
fondly
doubt
whether
they
haue
soules
within
them
?
since
they
are
spirits
also
which
they
neuer
saw
,
neither
can
see
.
Lord
open
mine
eyes
that
I
may
see
that
heauenly
guard
of
thine
,
wherewith
it
hath
pleased
thee
to
compasse
me
,
euen
those
celestiall
Angels
and
ministring
spirits
which
are
set
continually
to
attend
vpon
me
,
that
so
I
may
be
comforted
in
my
greatest
feares
,
and
encouraged
with
vndanted
resolution
to
goe
forward
with
constancie
in
thy
wayes
,
notwithstanding
the
opposition
of
the
enemies
of
thy
grace
and
truth
,
knowing
assuredly
,
that
they
that
are
with
me
,
are
more
&
mightier
,
then
they
that
are
against
me
.
The
danger
of
security
.
WIll
that
man
be
secure
and
carelesse
of
himselfe
,
that
knoweth
certainly
that
his
enemie
lieth
continuallie
in
waite
for
him
,
seeking
his
vtter
ruine
,
euen
the
spoiling
of
his
estate
,
and
the
spilling
of
his
blood
?
yea
will
he
not
(
if
there
be
any
wisdome
or
prudence
in
him
)
be
verie
watchfull
,
verie
circumspect
,
and
exceeding
carefull
,
to
foresee
and
preuent
all
his
dangerous
attempts
&
enterprises
,
whereby
he
might
haue
the
least
aduantage
at
any
time
against
him
?
Few
there
are
,
but
are
wise
inough
thus
to
procure
the
safetie
and
securitie
of
their
bodily
life
,
and
outward
estate
,
in
this
world
,
and
to
safe-gard
it
that
no
enemie
or
aduersarie
may
impaire
or
hurt
the
same
at
any
time
:
And
shall
any
then
be
so
foolish
,
so
vnwise
,
as
not
carefully
by
al
meanes
to
prouide
for
the
life
and
welfare
of
his
soule
,
yea
to
procure
the
safety
both
of
soule
and
body
,
and
not
onely
his
present
but
also
his
future
estate
in
the
heauens
:
and
yet
loe
,
such
is
the
follie
of
the
most
;
yea
euen
of
many
of
those
,
who
otherwise
are
wise
and
prudent
men
,
men
of
iudgement
and
vnderstanding
.
Sathan
(
that
subtile
,
that
wilie
,
and
most
malicious
enemie
)
lieth
continually
in
waite
for
vs
;
he
omits
no
opportunity
,
no
occasion
whereby
he
may
get
any
aduantage
against
vs
;
he
neuer
leaues
tempting
,
assaulting
and
assailing
of
vs
,
but
seekes
continually
by
all
meanes
possible
to
vndermine
our
estate
,
&
to
worke
our
ruine
and
vtter
ouerthrow
both
of
our
soules
and
bodies
for
euer
;
&
yet
most
men
,
how
carelesse
,
how
secure
are
they
,
as
though
they
had
no
heart
,
no
vnderstanding
?
yea
do
they
not
euen
wilfully
,
and
willingly
giue
themselues
to
sleepe
in
greatest
securitie
.
when
they
are
in
greatest
and
most
apparent
and
eminent
danger
,
euen
then
when
the
enemie
is
ready
to
make
a
spoile
of
them
,
and
eternall
destruction
and
confusion
to
seize
vpon
them
without
all
recouerie
,
or
hope
of
redemption
?
O
mercifull
Lord
,
thou
seest
,
how
busie
Sathan
is
in
tempting
me
;
how
many
and
how
forcible
meanes
he
vseth
to
preuaile
against
me
.
O
let
me
not
be
so
carelesse
and
secure
(
as
others
are
)
but
doe
thou
of
thy
especiall
grace
giue
me
wisdom
from
aboue
,
to
fore-see
the
dangers
which
may
befall
me
;
carefulnesse
and
diligence
with
watchfulnesse
and
aduisednesse
to
preuent
them
;
and
finallie
grace
and
strenghth
not
onelie
to
encounter
and
resist
,
but
also
to
vanquish
and
ouercome
that
cruell
and
malicious
enemie
and
aduersarie
,
and
in
the
end
gloriouslie
to
triumph
ouer
him
,
by
the
power
and
might
of
thy
Christ
,
in
whom
and
through
whom
I
am
able
to
doe
all
things
.
The
folly
of
worldlings
,
and
wickedmen
.
WE
are
ready
to
laugh
at
the
follie
of
him
that
we
see
make
more
account
of
toies
and
trifles
,
then
of
things
of
greater
worth
and
moment
;
that
will
be
better
pleased
with
a
gay
feather
,
then
with
a
rich
iewell
,
with
a
garded
and
partie
coloured
coate
,
then
with
a
costly
raiment
and
goodly
attire
.
And
yet
behold
such
is
the
follie
and
simplicitie
,
euen
of
those
who
seeme
to
be
the
wisest
in
the
world
,
both
in
their
own
eyes
&
in
the
eies
of
others
,
who
neuer
knew
the
wisdome
which
is
from
aboue
,
but
that
onely
which
is
earthlie
and
sensuall
:
with
Heuah
they
preferre
an
Apple
before
Paradise
:
with
Esau
,
a
messe
of
pottage
before
the
inheritance
of
that
celestiall
Canaan
,
the
land
of
promise
which
floweth
with
milke
&
honie
:
with
the
prodigall
sonne
,
the
huskes
of
swine
in
a
strange
countrie
,
before
the
best
fare
in
their
fathers
house
:
in
briefe
,
the
toies
and
trifles
of
this
world
,
euen
the
vaine
and
sinfull
pleasures
and
delights
,
and
the
transitorie
profits
and
commodities
thereof
,
before
those
hidden
treasures
,
those
inestimable
riches
of
ioy
,
glorie
,
and
euerlasting
happinesse
and
felicitie
,
prouided
for
the
Saints
in
the
highest
heauens
,
euen
the
pretious
things
of
God
,
which
can
neuer
be
ouer
prized
,
or
set
at
too
high
a
rate
.
Can
there
be
anie
greater
follie
then
this
?
Is
not
the
simplicitie
of
those
that
are
thus
strangely
besotted
,
to
be
laughed
at
,
by
those
that
know
what
true
wisdom
is
;
yea
rather
to
be
pitied
&
euen
bewailed
with
teares
,
although
they
in
the
meane
while
see
not
their
foolishnesse
,
but
reioyce
in
it
,
accounting
it
wisdome
,
and
themselues
the
onelie
wise
and
prudent
men
?
whereas
if
their
eyes
were
open
,
that
they
might
discerne
rightlie
of
things
(
which
now
by
reason
of
their
blindnesse
they
cannot
)
they
could
not
but
see
plainly
and
acknowledge
freely
(
as
the
truth
is
)
that
of
all
men
they
are
the
most
vaine
,
the
most
vnwise
and
extreame
foolish
.
Lord
,
giue
me
not
ouer
to
the
follie
of
mine
owne
heart
,
but
indue
me
with
true
spirituall
wisdome
and
vnderstanding
,
that
so
I
may
not
with
the
men
of
this
world
(
whose
mindes
are
darkened
,
and
depriued
of
the
light
of
grace
and
knowledge
)
choose
death
rather
then
life
,
shame
rather
then
glorie
,
hell
rather
then
heauen
,
vanitie
and
miserie
,
rather
then
endlesse
and
vnspeakable
happinesse
,
the
seruice
of
sinne
and
Sathan
,
and
the
fruits
and
deceiuable
pleasures
and
profits
of
this
world
,
rather
then
the
seruice
of
thee
the
euerliuing
and
most
glorious
God
,
and
the
blessed
hope
,
of
the
enioyment
and
full
possession
of
that
rich
inheritance
of
thy
chosen
,
euen
those
inualuable
treasures
of
glorie
,
blisse
,
and
happinesse
;
but
that
my
iudgement
being
cleared
,
and
my
heart
sanctified
,
I
may
now
and
alwaies
make
greatest
account
of
those
things
which
are
most
pretious
,
and
chiefly
to
be
desired
and
sought
after
,
of
all
those
that
will
be
the
sonnes
of
true
wisdome
.
The
bondage
and
slauerie
of
the
wicked
.
WE
would
wonder
at
him
that
being
laden
with
manie
irons
,
chained
and
fettered
hand
and
foote
,
so
that
he
were
not
able
to
mooue
from
the
place
where
he
lay
,
should
notwithstanding
perswade
himselfe
that
he
were
a
free
man
,
and
none
more
at
libertie
then
he
.
This
is
the
estate
of
the
wicked
:
they
are
bound
hand
and
foot
,
yea
all
the
parts
and
powers
of
their
soules
haue
manie
heauie
chaines
and
irons
lying
vpon
them
whereby
they
are
euen
pressed
downe
,
and
brought
into
great
miserie
and
bondage
;
and
yet
they
poore
wretches
(
such
is
their
blindnesse
)
though
plunged
into
the
verie
depth
of
that
wofull
miserie
and
hellish
thraldome
,
yet
neither
see
nor
perceiue
the
same
,
but
thinke
themselues
as
free
as
the
best
,
and
reioyce
in
their
estate
,
when
as
they
are
the
seruants
of
corruption
,
the
slaues
of
Sathan
,
subiect
to
the
power
of
darkenesse
.
Lord
,
giue
me
daily
more
and
more
to
see
that
wofull
miserie
,
and
feareful
bondage
and
slauery
,
which
Sathan
by
sinne
bringeth
vpon
the
soules
of
men
,
yea
both
vpon
their
soules
and
bodies
.
And
grant
,
that
seeing
it
,
I
may
bewaile
it
both
in
my selfe
and
others
,
and
labour
to
be
restored
vnto
perfect
libertie
and
freedome
;
being
truly
thankfull
vnto
thee
,
for
this
,
that
thou
hast
in
part
freed
me
alreadie
,
making
those
bolts
lighter
,
and
those
bonds
looser
:
and
earnestlie
desiring
and
expecting
the
time
when
that
which
is
in
part
,
shall
be
fullie
perfected
,
euen
the
day
of
redemption
;
which
I
pray
thee
to
hasten
.
The
fond
and
preposterous
course
of
the
wicked
in
preferring
the
health
of
their
bodies
,
before
the
saluation
of
their
soules
.
IF
any
be
in
danger
,
but
to
lose
a
finger
,
he
will
presentlie
with
all
diligence
and
carefulnesse
seeke
vnto
the
Physition
,
or
Chirurgion
for
to
saue
one
ioynt
of
it
(
if
it
may
be
possible
:
)
But
to
lose
their
soules
how
small
reckoning
doe
most
men
make
?
what
a
preposterous
course
is
this
?
Is
the
bodie
of
more
worth
then
the
soule
?
is
the
life
and
safetie
of
this
corruptible
bodie
,
yea
of
one
little
member
thereof
to
be
more
esteemed
,
more
carefullie
prouided
for
,
then
the
eternall
life
and
saluation
of
the
soule
,
yea
of
soule
and
bodie
?
Is
anie
so
destitute
of
reason
and
vnderstanding
,
as
once
to
imagine
this
?
And
yet
behold
,
such
are
the
liues
and
practises
of
most
men
,
that
either
they
doe
,
or
at
least
would
so
perswade
themselues
;
or
else
,
how
could
they
be
so
carefull
for
the
maintenance
and
preseruation
of
their
bodilie
health
,
and
outward
estate
,
and
so
carelesse
,
yea
desperate
,
neuer
regarding
the
present
and
future
estate
of
their
soules
,
but
passing
awaie
their
daies
most
securelie
in
the
sinfull
pleasures
and
delights
of
this
euill
world
,
euen
bathing
themselues
therein
,
whiles
in
the
meane
time
,
they
willinglie
,
if
not
wilfullie
,
depriue
themselues
of
euerlasting
life
and
saluation
,
and
hasten
forward
vnto
that
endlesse
perdition
and
destruction
,
which
is
prepared
for
them
?
Blessed
be
thy
name
O
mercifull
Lord
,
that
thou
hast
not
giuen
me
ouer
to
the
foolishnesse
of
the
wicked
,
who
shall
perish
for
euer
,
but
vouchsafest
thy
grace
vnto
me
,
whereby
thou
hast
made
me
more
carefull
,
to
seeke
for
the
assurance
of
the
good
estate
of
my
soule
in
this
life
,
and
the
eternall
saluation
thereof
in
the
heauens
after
this
transitorie
life
is
ended
,
then
for
the
procuring
of
the
life
,
and
safetie
of
this
mortall
&
corruptible
body
of
mine
,
which
shall
be
turned
into
dust
and
rottennesse
.
Increase
this
grace
in
me
,
and
in
all
thine
,
that
so
we
may
haue
full
assurance
that
we
are
thine
,
and
that
when
the
earthlie
house
of
this
our
tabernacle
is
destroied
,
we
may
liue
with
thee
in
glorie
for
euer
,
euen
in
that
heauenly
kingdome
,
that
celestiall
mansion
,
which
thou
hast
prouided
and
prepared
for
vs
,
and
for
all
thy
Saints
.
The
forwardnes
of
the
wicked
in
the
way
to
hell
,
ought
to
prouoke
the
godlie
to
make
the
more
speede
in
the
way
to
heauen
.
IS
it
not
strange
to
see
the
wicked
runne
faster
to
hell
,
then
the
godlie
do
to
heauen
?
to
make
more
speed
&
greater
hast
,
in
the
waies
which
leade
vnto
death
and
destruction
,
then
the
righteous
in
the
wayes
which
leade
vnto
life
and
saluation
?
As
we
are
to
pitie
their
rashnesse
and
headinesse
(
yea
rather
their
bold
and
desperate
presumption
)
who
whiles
they
walke
in
so
slipperie
a
way
,
rush
forward
,
or
rather
are
carried
headlong
with
the
violence
of
Sathan
,
and
their
own
corrupt
and
vnsanctified
nature
,
not
considering
what
is
before
them
,
and
whereunto
they
tend
,
vntill
they
fall
into
that
deepe
gulfe
out
of
which
there
is
no
recouerie
;
so
we
ought
to
be
prouoked
by
them
,
and
stirred
vp
by
their
example
,
to
walke
in
the
wayes
of
godlinesse
,
and
to
runne
that
race
of
Christianitie
,
with
more
swiftnesse
,
cheerefulnesse
,
and
alacritie
,
then
hitherto
we
haue
done
:
yea
to
blush
and
to
be
ashamed
of
our
former
backwardnesse
and
vntowardnesse
in
going
forward
,
so
slowly
,
and
so
heauilie
in
the
pathes
which
will
bring
vs
to
life
&
happinesse
,
seing
the
vngodly
doe
make
such
haste
and
walke
on
so
fast
in
those
broad
and
pleasant
,
yet
most
dangerous
and
deceitfull
waies
which
leade
directly
to
endles
woe
and
miserie
,
euen
the
place
of
the
damned
,
as
though
they
were
afraid
they
should
not
come
thither
soon
enough
.
O
Lord
,
if
it
be
thy
will
,
open
their
eyes
,
that
whiles
they
haue
time
,
they
may
be
wisehearted
to
turne
out
of
that
broade
way
,
seeing
that
the
issues
thereof
are
death
and
confusion
;
and
enlarge
my
heart
,
that
I
may
with
more
libertie
and
alacritie
hereafer
runne
in
all
the
waies
of
thy
commaundements
;
and
in
the
end
,
hauing
finished
my
course
with
ioyfulnesse
,
receaue
that
incorruptible
crowne
of
life
,
of
glorie
,
and
happinesse
,
which
thou
hast
promised
vnto
all
those
which
continue
faithfull
and
constant
in
thy
seruice
,
vnto
the
end
of
their
daies
.
More
care
ought
to
be
had
of
the
soule
then
of
the
bodie
.
MAnie
are
exceeding
carefull
that
their
bodies
may
be
clothed
in
costly
,
yea
in
verie
curious
maner
,
who
are
altogether
carelesse
what
cloathing
or
couering
they
haue
for
their
soules
;
nay
though
they
be
clothed
with
the
filthie
ragges
of
sinne
and
Sathan
,
and
quite
stripped
of
all
the
graces
of
Gods
spirit
,
those
pretious
ornaments
,
yet
it
neuer
troubles
their
minds
,
it
neuer
grieues
them
,
or
goes
to
the
heart
of
them
,
but
they
are
well
content
therewith
,
and
desire
no
better
;
yea
they
are
not
once
ashamed
,
although
their
filthie
nakednes
lie
open
continuallie
,
and
appeare
to
the
eyes
of
all
that
see
and
behold
them
,
but
rather
reioyce
and
glorie
therein
:
we
wonder
at
this
,
and
not
without
cause
;
but
would
we
know
the
reason
thereof
?
Alas
they
are
starke
blinde
,
they
see
not
their
owne
nakednesse
,
their
basenes
,
and
extreame
beggerie
:
they
see
not
how
the
glorious
image
of
God
(
which
standeth
in
righteousnesse
and
true
holinesse
)
is
vtterlie
defaced
in
them
,
and
in
steade
thereof
the
image
of
Sathan
stamped
in
them
,
in
such
sort
that
they
are
become
vile
and
abominable
,
exceedingly
disfigured
and
deformed
in
all
the
powers
and
faculties
of
their
soules
,
and
most
lothsome
in
the
eyes
of
God
,
&
his
Saints
.
O
Lord
,
giue
me
to
see
my
nakednes
,
my
spirituall
pouertie
,
&
beggerlinesse
;
&
let
me
daily
seeke
by
all
meanes
to
cast
off
the
old
rotten
ragges
,
of
sinfull
and
corrupted
nature
,
and
to
be
clothed
thoroughout
anew
,
with
the
graces
of
thy
sanctifying
spirit
,
with
righteousnesse
&
holines
,
euen
according
vnto
thine
owne
image
,
wherein
thou
didst
at
the
first
create
man
;
that
so
thou
maist
take
pleasure
and
delight
in
me
;
and
hauing
vouchsafed
vnto
me
thy
grace
here
,
maist
receiue
me
vnto
glory
hereafter
.
The
vnfruitfll
hearing
of
the
word
of
God
verie
dangerous
.
IF
good
seede
be
oft
cast
into
the
ground
,
&
it
brings
forth
no
fruite
,
but
briars
,
thornes
and
thistles
,
it
is
a
signe
that
it
is
either
a
naughtie
,
or
a
barren
soile
,
and
therfore
in
vaine
to
spend
time
,
cost
and
labour
in
tilling
and
manuring
it
:
If
the
word
of
God
(
that
immortall
seed
)
be
often
sowen
by
the
sincere
preaching
of
the
word
,
by
the
Lords
owne
husbandmen
,
whom
he
imployeth
in
that
worke
;
if
it
doth
not
bring
forth
much
fruite
in
those
that
are
the
ordinarie
hearers
thereof
,
but
either
no
fruite
,
or
else
that
cursed
fruite
of
a
corrupt
life
,
and
vngodly
actions
,
it
is
a
certaine
signe
that
they
haue
bad
harts
,
and
such
as
are
barren
of
all
grace
;
and
they
may
iustlie
feare
that
the
Lord
will
cause
his
ministers
to
labour
no
more
among
than
,
but
take
both
them
,
and
his
word
from
them
,
and
bring
such
a
heauie
iudgement
,
and
fearefull
curse
vpon
them
,
as
shall
cause
them
to
mourne
for
their
former
vnfruitfulnes
and
vnprofitablenes
,
vnder
so
many
and
so
great
meanes
,
as
in
former
times
haue
bin
so
gratiously
offered
vnto
them
.
O
Lord
,
suffer
me
neuer
to
receiue
thy
holy
word
in
vaine
,
but
let
it
take
deepe
roote
in
my
heart
,
and
bring
forth
much
fruite
in
my
life
and
conuersation
,
euen
the
plentifull
increase
of
grace
&
godlines
,
to
the
glory
of
thy
name
,
the
good
example
of
others
,
mine
owne
comfort
,
and
eternall
saluation
in
Christ
Iesus
.
Different
degrees
of
grace
in
the
godly
.
THe
Lord
hath
not
measured
out
the
same
portion
of
gifts
and
graces
of
his
spirit
vnto
all
alike
;
but
hath
giuen
this
grace
vnto
one
,
that
vnto
another
;
and
the
same
grace
in
this
maner
vnto
one
,
in
that
vnto
the
other
;
to
some
more
,
to
some
lesse
;
yea
to
diuers
,
different
portions
,
both
for
the
graces
themselues
,
as
also
the
number
,
the
kinde
,
the
qualities
,
measure
and
degrees
thereof
:
and
yet
all
are
his
gifts
and
graces
,
proceeding
from
one
and
the
same
spirit
,
which
worketh
in
all
&
euerie
one
,
as
it
pleaseth
it
.
Lord
,
giue
me
to
see
and
discerne
aright
,
what
grace
thou
hast
vouchsaued
vnto
me
,
and
the
measure
of
it
;
and
as
to
be
truely
thankfull
vnto
thee
for
the
same
,
and
to
glorie
in
thee
who
art
the
author
and
giuer
of
it
,
(
as
of
euerie
other
good
and
perfect
gift
)
so
likewise
to
be
carefull
to
imploy
it
vnto
the
setting
forth
of
thy
glory
,
in
the
performance
of
those
duties
which
thou
requirest
of
me
:
that
so
when
thou
shalt
call
me
to
a
reckoning
for
the
vse
of
that
talent
,
which
thou
hast
committed
vnto
me
,
hauing
bin
faithfull
in
the
improuement
of
the
same
,
I
may
willingly
appeare
before
thee
to
giue
in
my
accounts
,
and
be
plentifully
rewarded
of
thee
,
by
entring
into
that
ioy
and
glorie
which
thou
hast
promised
and
prepared
for
all
thy
faithfull
seruants

THou
O
Lord
art
verie
liberall
in
disposing
of
the
heauenlie
graces
of
thy
spirit
vnto
thy
children

whom
thou
louest

To

there

none

thine
that
hath
not

that
hath
not
receiued
the
measure

for
which
he
can
neuer

sufficiently
thankfull
vnto
thee

O
heauenvly
father
,
increase
thy
grace
in
me
;
&
grant
that
I
may
alwaies

make
pretious
account
of
the

measure
,

shall
please
thee
in

vouchsafe
vnto
me
,

And

let
me
be
content
with
that
portion
,
which
thou
in
thy
wisdome
and
goodnesse
allottest
vnto
me
;

knowing

for

it
is

neither

to
withdraw
that

in

thou
hadst
freelie
giuen
vnto

anie
shall
take
away

my

ragged-worne
coate
,

in

thereof
put
vpon

a

cloath
me

let

Let
me
desire
earnestlie

put
off

to
be
dissolued

to
be
with
Christ
my
Sauiour

Lord

euen
when

let
me
see
thy
saluation
,
which
thou
hast
promised

The
imprisonment
of
the
godlie
in

THe
godlie
whiles
they
remaine
in
this
world
,
liue
,
as
it
were
,
in
perpetuall
imprisonment
.
They
are
laden
with
manie
chaines
and
fetters
,
which
lie
heauie
vpon
them
,
and
cause
them
to
sigh
in
themselues
,
and
to
long
earnestly
for
the
time
of
their
deliuerance
&
freedom
.
O
blessed
Lord
,
thou
knowest
what
a
burden
vnto
my
soule
,
this
corruptible
and
sinnefull
bodie
of
mine
is
,
which
I
carry
continually
about
with
me
;
and
how
this
earthlie
mansion
keepeth
downe
and
oppresseth
my
minde
,
and
maketh
me
heauie
and
vntoward
for
the
performance
of
that
good
which
thou
commandest
,
and
wherein
my
heart
desireth
to
approue
it selfe
vnto
thee
;
I
am
so
fast
in
prison
,
&
so
much
encumbred
with
manifold
annoiances
,
which
are
,
as
it
were
,
so
manie
heauie
irons
pressing
downe
my
minde
,
and
hindring
me
from
walking
before
thee
,
with
that
freedome
of
spirit
,
and
that
cheerefulnes
and
alacrity
wherein
thou
delightest
,
that
my
soule
mourneth
secretlie
within
me
,
and
longeth
to
be
freed
from
this
miserie
and
bondage
,
wherein
I
am
now
detained
.
O
Lord
,
when
wilt
thou
set
me
at
libertie
?
Continually
doe
I
expect
and
waite
for
the
redemption
of
this
earthlie
and
sinfull
bodie
.
The
vanitie
of
all
earthlie
things
.
OH
the
vanitie
of
the
things
of
this
world
,
riches
,
pleasures
,
honour
&
whatsoeuer
else
(
to
him
that
hath
a
carnall
and
fleshly
eye
)
may
seeme
most
pretious
and
glorious
!
how
fruitles
,
how
fading
and
transitorie
are
they
?
was
there
euer
anie
that
found
any
true
peace
,
any
sound
ioy
or
contentment
in
anie
,
or
in
all
of
them
?
What
a
vaine
thing
then
is
it
for
any
one
to
be
carried
with
such
an
vnsatiable
desire
after
them
;
yea
to
place
,
if
not
his
onely
,
yet
his
chiefe
happines
and
felicitie
in
them
,
as
many
doe
?
O
Lord
,
draw
my
heart
daily
more
and
more
from
the
things
of
this
world
,
whereunto
the
most
are
so
fast
glewed
:
weane
my
soule
both
from
the
loue
,
and
desire
of
them
;
and
let
my
delight
be
in
thee
,
let
me
reioyce
in
thee
continuallie
;
yea
let
my
soule
alwaies
long
after
thee
,
and
in
comparison
of
thee
esteeme
of
all
these
earthly
things
but
as
drosse
&
meere
vanitie
.
A
true
discerning
of
the
worlds
vanitie
,
maketh
men
willing
to
leaue
it
,
and
desirous
of
a
better
estate
out
of
it
.
MAnie
there
be
that
complaine
of
the
vanitie
and
deceitfulnesse
of
this
world
,
and
yet
are
loth
to
leaue
it
,
&
to
depart
out
of
it
.
Such
either
had
neuer
a
true
sight
of
the
vanitie
of
all
things
here
below
,
and
of
the
wretchednesse
and
miserie
whereunto
men
,
euen
the
best
are
subiect
in
this
life
;
or
else
they
neuer
indeed
fullie
tasted
of
the
blessednesse
and
felicitie
of
the
life
to
come
,
euen
those
endlesse
ioyes
,
and
vnspeakable
glorie
,
which
are
prepared
and
reserued
for
the
Saints
,
in
the
kingdome
of
God
:
or
if
they
haue
in
some
sort
tasted
of
this
heauenly
gift
,
yet
without
any
certaintie
or
assurance
that
it
belonged
vnto
them
,
and
that
their
right
and
portion
should
be
in
it
,
and
therefore
could
not
be
so
soundly
affected
with
it
,
as
thereby
to
be
brought
into
a
true
dislike
and
contempt
of
this
present
euill
world
,
which
notwithstanding
,
at
least
,
they
wou●d
seeme
to
be
out
of
loue
with
.
The
man
that
seeth
indeed
,
how
vaine
,
how
deceitfull
and
how
miserable
this
world
is
;
and
hath
withall
receiued
the
first
fruits
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
tasted
of
the
sweetnes
&
blessednes
of
the
world
to
come
;
and
also
knoweth
,
that
the
assurance
of
the
promise
thereof
is
made
and
sealed
vnto
him
,
and
that
by
the
truth
it selfe
,
(
euen
by
him
whose
word
shall
stand
,
when
heauen
and
earth
shall
passe
away
;
)
that
man
as
he
shall
finde
cause
enough
to
complaine
of
this
euill
world
wherein
he
liueth
;
so
it
cannot
be
,
but
that
he
should
desire
vnfainedly
to
be
gone
out
of
it
,
&
to
make
change
for
a
better
;
euen
that
which
his
soule
longeth
after
,
and
in
the
hope
and
expectation
whereof
he
resteth
continually
,
sighing
in
himselfe
,
and
waiting
earnestly
for
the
fruition
and
full
possession
thereof
,
when
as
being
vnclothed
of
the
burden
of
this
flesh
,
&
loosed
out
of
the
prison
of
this
earth
,
he
shal
be
clothed
with
glorie
and
immortality
,
and
liue
for
euer
in
that
celestiall
mansion
,
not
made
with
hands
,
but
eternall
in
the
heauens
.
O
Lord
,
when
shall
I
be
fullie
deliuered
from
the
bondage
of
corruption
,
vnto
which
I
am
now
daily
subject
?
when
shall
I
lay
downe
this
bodie
of
sinne
and
death
,
which
I
now
carrie
continually
about
with
me
?
when
shall
I
remoue
out
of
this
earthlie
tabernacle
?
when
shall
I
leaue
the
wildernesse
of
this
wearisome
world
,
and
departing
from
hence
be
translated
into
that
glorious
kingdome
of
thine
,
which
thou
hast
promised
vnto
me
?
My
soule
longeth
to
dwell
in
thy
courts
,
to
see
thy
saluation
,
to
enioy
thy
blessed
presence
,
and
to
liue
and
rest
with
thee
continuallie
.
For
here
,
alas
,
I
find
no
resting
place
;
yea
I
see
vanitie
,
wretchednesse
and
miserie
on
euerie
side
,
in
euerie
place
.
One
sorrow
succeedeth
another
:
The
snares
of
many
afflictions
,
and
temptations
haue
taken
holde
of
me
;
many
deepe
waters
haue
passed
ouer
me
,
and
euen
almost
ouerwhelmed
me
.
I
am
assailed
continually
with
many
and
those
verie
dangerous
and
perillous
enemies
,
who
fight
against
my
soule
,
and
seeke
by
all
meanes
the
vtter
ruine
and
subuersion
thereof
:
yea
there
is
scarce
one
day
,
but
that
I
passe
thorow
many
deaths
(
so
many
are
the
grieuances
whereunto
thy
children
are
continually
subiect
,
whiles
they
haue
their
abode
in
this
place
,
of
vanitie
,
of
death
,
and
miserie
.
)
How
therefore
should
not
that
day
be
pleasant
,
and
not
bitter
vnto
me
?
how
should
I
not
haue
a
feruent
desire
to
be
dissolued
,
&
so
to
remoue
from
earth
to
heauen
;
since
that
as
long
as
I
liue
here
in
this
world
,
I
cannot
be
freed
from
all
miseries
,
nor
attaine
vnto
full
and
perfect
blessednesse
,
which
is
onelie
to
be
expected
in
the
world
to
come
,
where
I
know
that
I
shall
enioy
it
,
and
haue
the
fruition
of
it
for
euer
in
thy
kingdom
?
All
the
daies
of
my
appointed
time
,
will
I
waite
vntill
my
changing
shall
come
,
euen
the
time
of
refreshing
,
which
I
desire
,
and
hope
for
;
and
which
thou
O
Lord
,
(
when
it
pleaseth
thee
)
wilt
vouchsafe
in
mercie
and
goodnesse
to
grant
vnto
me
:
Lord
I
haue
longed
for
thy
saluation
.
Of
whom
death
is
most
feared
.
HE
that
alwaies
feares
death
excessiuely
,
neuer
made
conscience
to
liue
well
.
He
that
is
carefull
to
liue
well
,
will
neuer
be
ouermuch
afraid
to
die
,
though
death
in
it selfe
be
of
all
things
the
most
fearefull
and
terrible
;
or
if
he
doe
feare
it
,
when
it
first
looks
vpon
him
with
a
gastly
countenance
,
yet
when
the
vizard
,
which
it
hath
put
vpon
it
,
be
plucked
away
with
the
due
and
serious
meditation
of
it
,
the
feare
and
dread
of
it
will
vanish
away
presently
.
Lord
,
let
it
be
my
care
and
earnest
endeuour
,
so
to
liue
,
and
to
passe
the
time
of
my
dwelling
here
,
euen
these
short
and
euill
daies
which
thou
hast
measured
out
vnto
me
,
that
the
remembrance
of
ensuing
and
approching
death
,
may
neuer
be
bitter
or
grieuous
,
but
ioyfull
and
pleasant
vnto
me
.
Sathans
craft
and

in
deceiuing
men

THe
Diuell
goes
alwaies
masked
vp
and
downe
in
the
world
in
a
disguised
manner
,
and
neuer
,
or
seldome
sheweth
himselfe
in
his
owne
likenesse
,
because
then
he
knowes
well
enough
,
euery
one
(
not
without
cause
)
would
be
afraid
of
him
,
flie
from
him
,
and
haue
nothing
to
doe
with
him
(
for
who
would
not
shunne
his
deadly
aduersarie
,
whom
he
saw
nothing
but
plotting
his
owne
destruction
and
ouerthrow
)
but
vsually
he
comes
like
a
false
friend
,
with
the
pretence
of
a
seeming
good
;
he
appeares
and
offers
himselfe
vnto
men
in
the
shape
of
pleasure
,
profit
,
honour
,
euen
those
things
which
are
pleasing
vnto
their
nature
,
&
and
whereby
they
may
most
easily
be
enticed
,
and
drawne
away
after
him
.
How
many
thousands
hath
he
by
these
slights
and
policies
of
his
deluded
and
deceiued
?
how
doth
he
hereby
preuaile
against
men
,
till
he
secretly
work
their
irrecouerable
ruin
,
and
that
many
times
before
they
be
aware
of
any
such
matter
,
but
feede
securely
&
greedily
vpon
those
things
which
he
profereth
vnto
them
,
not
seeing
the
snare
which
is
laid
for
them
.
O
Lord
let
me
alwaies
suspect
and
feare
the
deceitfulnesse
of
Sathan
,
in
the
things
which
are
most
pleasing
vnto
me
,
&
which
,
with
the
shew
of
pleasure
,
profit
,
&
worldly
commodities
and
aduantage
,
do
most
allure
me
,
and
draw
my
heart
after
them
,
or
cause
me
to
set
my
affections
inordinatly
vpon
them
;
that
so
in
what
counterfait
forme
soeuer
,
that
deceiuer
shall
seek
cunningly
to
insinuate
himselfe
into
me
,
I
may
discerne
his
craft
,
&
take
heed
by
all
meanes
,
that
I
be
not
at
any
time
beguiled
and
deluded
by
him
.
Sathans
seuerall
baites
for
sundrie
persons
.
THe
Diuell
hath
a
baite
for
euery
age
,
for
euery
place
and
person
,
and
according
to
the
occasions
and
opportunities
,
he
fitteth
them
all
,
to
their
seuerall
natures
,
dispositions
and
inclinations
.
For
the
couetous
,
he
hath
a
siluer
hooke
and
a
golden
baite
;
the
riches
and
commodities
of
this
deceitfull
world
:
for
the
voluptuous
,
sinfull
pleasures
and
sensuall
delights
:
for
the
ambitious
,
honour
and
bewitching
preferments
:
to
such
as
are
cholericke
,
he
ministers
those
things
that
may
kindle
their
wrath
and
inflame
their
furie
:
for
the
melancholick
,
he
laies
the
baite
either
of
vnprofitable
solitarines
,
or
of
pining
enuy
.
And
thus
by
one
meanes
or
other
he
seekes
continually
to
entice
them
to
swallow
his
baite
which
he
so
guilefully
profereth
vnto
them
,
that
being
once
taken
with
it
they
can
hardly
escape
the
danger
which
he
laboureth
to
bring
them
vnto
,
except
the
Lord
be
the
more
mercifull
to
pull
the
hooke
out
of
their
nostrils
,
and
to
set
them
at
libertie
againe
.
Blessed
Lord
,
giue
me
to
see
vnto
what
sins
I
am
,
either
by
nature
,
or
otherwise
,
most
addicted
;
and
whereby
Sathan
seeketh
chiefly
to
insnare
me
,
and
to
draw
me
vnto
perdition
;
and
hauing
grace
to
see
them
,
let
me
also
haue
wisdome
and
strength
to
shunne
and
auoide
them
;
that
so
I
may
not
be
deceiued
by
Sathan
,
nor
perish
with
the
multitude
whom
he
hath
taken
in
his
snares
,
with
those
baites
which
he
hath
laid
for
them
.
The

HE

saith

that

is
loth
to
offend
God
,
through
the
commission
of
any
sinne
,
and
doth
not
carefully
auoide
the
occasions
whereby
he
may
fall
into
the
same
,
is
like
to
him
that
telleth
vs
,
that
he
is
loth
to
be
burnt
,
and
yet
dreads
not
the
fire
when
he
is
neare
vnto
burning
;
yea
rather
will
needs
runne
into
the
flame
,
wihch
is
readie
to
scorch
him
;
or
that
he
is
loth
to
be
drowned
,
and
yet
goes
so
neere
the
pits
brinke
that
it
is
almost
impossible
for
him
not
to
fall
into
it
,
and
to
perish
in
it
.
O
Lord
,
let
me
not
be
so
vnwise
as
to
deceiue
my
selfe
as
many
doe
,
by
taking
too
much
libertie
vnto
my selfe
in
those
things
,
which
though
lawfull
in
themselues
,
yet
may
be
a
meanes
through
the
corruption
of
my
nature
,
&
the
temptation
of
Sathan
,
to
draw
me
to
sin
against
thee
.
But
giue
me
wisdome
in
all
things
to
foresee
and
preuent
the
danger
that
may
come
vpon
me
,
for
want
of
due
prouidence
and
watchfulnesse
;
and
make
me
euer
as
carefull
to
auoide
the
occasions
of
sin
,
as
sinne
and
death
it selfe
:
So
shall
it
neuer
haue
power
or
dominion
ouer
me
;
whereas
otherwise
it
cannot
be
but
that
I
should
fall
oft
,
and
dangerously
.
Respect
of
persons
.
IT
is
a
great
fault
,
and
yet
ordinarie
,
to
respect
men
,
more
for
the
outward
trappings
of
the
bodie
,
then
for
the
inward
graces
,
and
vertues
of
the
mind
.
If
one
be
of
a
goodly
personage
,
or
richly
apparelled
and
attired
,
he
shall
be
regarded
,
and
much
set
by
,
although
his
mind
be
neuer
so
deformed
,
destitute
of
all
grace
and
goodnesse
,
euen
those
inward
endowments
,
which
are
the
greatest
excellencies
.
If
another
be
more
base
or
meane
in
these
outward
respects
;
howsoeuer
he
be
inwardlie
decked
and
adorned
,
yet
there
is
no
reckoning
,
or
very
small
account
made
of
him
.
What
is
this
but
to
preferre
the
body
before
the
soule
,
that
which
is
terrene
,
earthly
and
coruptible
,
before
that
which
is
spirituall
,
heauenly
and
immortall
?
Salomon
the
most
glorious
and
renowned
Prince
that
euer
was
,
in
regard
of
his
outward
glory
,
wherewith
he
was
inuested
and
arraied
,
yet
he
was
not
like
the
lilie
of
the
field
,
or
the
withering
and
fading
grasse
;
whereas
all
things
that
are
most
flourishing
on
earth
,
no
not
those
celestiall
creatures
,
the
starres
of
heauen
,
nor
the
Sunne
and
Moone
themselues
,
(
those
excellent
and
glorious
lights
)
are
comparable
to
one
soule
,
it
being
of
a
farre
more
diuine
and
excellent
nature
then
they
are
.
Good
Lord
giue
me
to
discerne
of
things
aright
;
let
me
alwaies
esteeme
more
of
those
that
are
inwardly
beautified
with
those
vertues
&
graces
of
the
mind
,
wherewith
thou
hast
enriched
them
;
and
which
are
the
things
that
are
most
precious
in
thy
sight
,
and
which
thou
dost
much
set
by
;
then
of
such
as
wanting
these
,
do
most
flourish
in
the
world
,
and
are
most
eminent
for
their
externall
dignities
and
excellencies
.
Gods
speciall
prouidence
ouer
his
children
.
HE
that
takes
care
for
the
watring
of
his
garden
,
the
growing
of
his
hearbes
and
plants
,
and
the
feeding
of
his
cattle
,
will
he
not
much
more
be
carefull
for
the
feeding
and
preseruing
of
his
own
children
,
whom
he
loueth
and
regardeth
farre
more
then
all
those
?
Seeing
therefore
God
our
heauenly
father
watreth
this
great
garden
of
the
world
;
causeth
trees
,
hearbes
,
and
plants
of
all
kinds
to
grow
and
flourish
therein
;
cloaths
the
fields
with
so
glorious
array
,
that
great
Princes
with
their
shining
traine
are
not
like
vnto
them
;
and
seedeth
and
preserueth
continually
by
his
speciall
prouidence
,
the
beasts
of
the
earth
,
the
fowles
of
the
aire
,
and
the
fishes
of
the
sea
;
will
he
not
doe
much
more
,
for
his
owne
children
,
who
depend
vpon
him
,
and
whom
he
loueth
so
deerely
,
and
most
tenderly
regardeth
farre
aboue
all
these
earthly
things
?
Can
it
be
,
that
he
should
not
feed
them
,
preserue
them
,
and
prouide
all
things
for
them
,
which
may
be
for
their
good
estate
in
this
world
?
O
the
faithlesnesse
,
and
infidelitie
of
man
,
who
will
not
rest
on
Gods
prouidence
,
nor
credit
and
beleeue
those
promises
which
he
hath
made
vnto
them
(
if
they
be
his
.
)
O
Lord
God
,
most
gratious
,
and
heauenly
father
,
grant
that
whiles
I
behold
the
birds
of
the
aire
,
the
flowres
of
the
field
,
and
all
things
which
thou
hast
created
,
I
may
not
onely
see
and
acknowledge
thy
power
that
made
them
,
but
also
thy
prouidence
in
preseruing
,
feeding
,
and
apparelling
them
;
and
that
I
may
vse
them
,
as
so
many
seales
to
confirme
me
in
the
truth
of
thy
gratious
promises
,
and
in
the
certaintie
of
that
speciall
prouidence
of
thine
ouer
me
continually
;
euen
that
thou
wilt
preserue
me
,
cloath
me
,
feed
me
,
and
helpe
me
in
all
my
necessities
,
supplying
all
those
things
vnto
me
,
which
thou
in
thy
wisdome
knowest
to
be
most
expedient
and
requisite
for
me
.
Herein
I
rest
:
this
is
that
onely
which
can
make
me
in
all
things
truly
contented
,
and
in
nothing
too
carefull
;
and
without
this
my
life
would
be
irkesom
and
burdensome
vnto
me
,
through
that
carking
care
,
and
those
manifold
distractions
,
which
I
see
in
others
,
euen
in
those
that
are
vnfaithfull
,
O
Lord
,
and
distrust
thy
prouidence
.
Contentednes
in
all
estates
.
LOrd
I
know
not
what
is
good
for
me
,
or
which
I
should
desire
rather
;
prosperity
or
aduersity
,
health
or
sicknes
,
plentie
or
penurie
.
Thou
onely
seest
,
thou
onely
knowest
,
what
is
euery
way
best
for
me
.
Deale
therefore
gratiously
with
me
,
&
do
vnto
me
that
which
is
good
in
thine
eyes
,
and
which
thou
(
who
iudgest
and
discernest
of
all
things
aright
)
seest
to
be
best
for
me
.
And
grant
that
I
may
rest
contentedly
and
thankefully
in
those
things
,
which
thou
according
to
thy
good
pleasure
,
shalt
bring
to
passe
,
howsoeuer
thou
disposest
of
me
.
Coueteousnes
a
dangerous
disease
.
THe
couetous
man
is
like
vnto
those
that
haue
the
dropsie
:
for
they
that
are
falne
into
that
disease
,
do
desire
to
drinke
continually
;
and
yet
the
more
they
drinke
,
the
more
drie
,
the
more
thirsty
they
are
.
So
it
is
with
the
couetous
,
who
through
the
distemper
of
their
minds
,
haue
drawne
that
spirituall
dropsie
vpon
them
,
which
is
so
much
worse
then
the
other
,
as
the
soule
is
better
then
the
bodie
.
They
haue
a
perpetuall
,
and
inordinate
lust
after
riches
,
and
the
profits
and
commodities
of
this
world
:
and
yet
the
more
they
haue
them
,
the
more
they
feele
and
complaine
of
the
want
of
them
;
the
more
they
increase
,
&
the
faster
they
come
in
,
the
more
doth
their
desire
of
them
increase
,
&
the
greater
is
their
lust
and
longing
after
them
.
They
are
vnsatiable
,
and
like
the
two
daughters
of
the
horsleach
,
neuer
thinke
they
haue
enough
.
This
is
an
euill
sickenesse
,
and
yet
common
and
ordinarie
amongst
men
;
yea
many
are
so
farre
gone
in
it
,
that
except
they
seeke
to
preuent
the
danger
of
it
in
time
,
it
will
proue
incurable
,
and
so
in
the
ende
become
mortall
&
deadly
vnto
them
.
O
Lord
,
giue
me
grace
to
couet
after
the
better
things
,
euen
those
which
are
spirituall
&
heauenly
;
&
let
me
neuer
be
carried
away
with
an
immoderate
and
inordinate
desire
of
these
things
here
below
,
which
are
earthlie
and
transitorie
:
but
let
me
alwaies
be
content
with
that
portion
which
thou
shalt
giue
vnto
me
.
If
it
be
much
;
let
me
blesse
thee
for
it
,
and
be
ready
to
distribute
according
to
the
necessities
of
others
.
If
it
be
little
;
let
me
blesse
and
praise
thee
also
,
knowing
that
it
is
sufficient
;
and
withall
,
that
thou
hast
prouided
better
things
for
me
,
euen
that
rich
inheritance
,
and
that
induring
substance
in
the
heauens
,
of
which
after
this
life
,
thou
wilt
giue
me
(
hauing
already
made
me
a
grant
thereof
)
the
full
fruition
and
possession
for
euer
.
And
in
the
meane
while
,
howsoeuer
my
estate
is
,
or
shall
be
hereafter
in
this
world
,
giue
me
a
quiet
and
contented
mind
,
which
may
alwaies
rest
in
thee
,
&
wholly
depend
vpon
thee
,
who
hast
promised
,
that
thou
will
not
faile
nor
forsake
me
;
nor
denie
any
thing
vnto
me
,
which
thou
(
who
knowest
what
is
best
for
euery
one
)
seest
to
be
good
for
me
.
All
must
suffer
afflictions
in
this
life

HE
deceiueth
himselfe
,
that
looketh
for
a
continuall
calme
,
whiles
he
liueth
in
this
world
.
There
was
neuer
man
that
attained
vnto
this
,
neuer
shall
,
in
this
life
.
Let
him
thinke
that
it
is
well
with
him
,
that
is
not
alwaies
in
a
storme
;
that
hath
not
alwaies
rough
and
heard
weather
,
whereby
that
weake
and
small
barke
of
his
,
is
much
tossed
and
troubled
;
but
some
times
,
though
seldome
,
finds
the
benefit
of
a
pleasant
calme
,
whereby
he
may
be
refreshed
,
and
the
better
inabled
with
strength
and
patience
,
both
to
expect
and
to
vndergoe
the
future
imminent
troubles
,
which
shall
betide
him
.
O
Lord
,
I
looke
not
for
my
rest
,
whiles
I
saile
in
this
troublesome
sea
;
for
thou
hast
said
it
,
and
I
beleeue
it
,
and
all
thy
Saints
and
seruants
haue
seene
the
truth
of
it
in
their
own
experience
;
euen
that
thorough
manie
troubles
,
by
many
afflictions
we
must
haue
passage
,
and
entrance
into
thy
kingdome
,
when
it
pleaseth
thee
O
blessed
Lord
,
either
send
me
a
calme
after
those
stormes
which
haue
gone
ouer
me
;
or
else
(
which
I
rather
desire
)
cause
me
speedily
to
arriue
at
that
hauen
,
which
I
hope
and
long
for
;
and
where
I
shall
enioy
perfect
and
perpetuall
rest
and
peace
,
without
anie
trouble
or
disquietnesse
,
yea
without
the
scare
of
any
of
those
perils
and
dangers
,
vnto
which
I
am
now
continually
subiect
.
The
Ancre
of
the
soule
in
afflictions
.
A
Shippe
that
is
on
the
sea
in
stormie
&
tempestuous
weather
,
if
it
hath
not
an
ancre
,
which
being
cast
forth
,
may
hold
and
stay
it
,
is
carried
vp
and
downe
,
and
tossed
to
and
fro
,
with
much
violence
;
and
so
at
length
either
driuen
vpon
the
sands
,
or
dashed
against
the
rocks
:
In
like
maner
it
is
with
all
those
,
that
in
the
troublesome
sea
of
this
dangerous
world
(
where
there
are
so
many
stormes
&
tempests
continually
arising
)
want
the
ancre
of
their
soules
,
euen
true
faith
in
Christ
,
and
an
assured
hope
of
the
promises
made
by
him
;
they
are
tossed
to
and
fro
continually
,
hauing
no
rest
,
no
comfort
,
no
confidence
;
they
are
carried
away
violently
with
the
raging
waters
;
and
in
the
end
,
either
fall
vpon
some
quicke
sands
,
which
swallow
them
vp
,
and
cause
them
to
sink
into
the
bottome
of
that
great
deepe
;
or
else
rush
against
some
stony
and
craggy
rocke
,
which
beateth
them
to
pieces
,
&
bringeth
them
to
ruine
.
O
my
God
,
thou
seest
the
great
perils
and
dangers
I
am
subiect
vnto
,
and
shall
be
as
long
as
I
liue
in
this
world
,
which
is
a
sea
of
miseries
,
and
manifold
calamities
.
The
windes
blow
,
the
deepe
wateres
lift
vp
their
swelling
waues
,
and
the
stormie
tempests
threaten
me
with
shipwracke
,
to
the
ruine
and
destruction
both
of
my
soule
&
bodie
:
O
therefore
,
let
me
neuer
want
that
assured
hope
,
which
being
as
the
ancre
of
my
soule
,
both
sure
and
stedfast
,
may
enter
into
that
which
is
within

and
clasp
fast
hold
of
those
gracious
promises
which
thou
hast
made
vnto
me
in

my

Sauiour
:
so
shall
I
not
onely
be
safe

confident
in
the
middest
of

dangers
,
which
are
round
about
me
;
but
also
in

,
hauing
escaped
out

all
,
arriue
at
that
pleasant
hauen
of
true
felicitie
,
and
endlesse
blisse
and
happinesse
;
vnto
which
the
desire
and
praier
of
my
heart
is
,
that
thou
wouldest
shortly
bring
me
,
that
so
I
may
rest

sing
praises
vnto

in

vncessantly

Great
danger
in
yeelding
to
the
least
motion
of
any
sinne

IN
euery
sinne
that
any
one
yeelds
vnto
,
he
laies
himselfe
open
vnto
the
Diuell
,
&
giues
him
power
of
him
:
how
carefull
therefore
should
men
be
to
auoide
all
sinnes
;
and
not
willingly
to
admit
the
least
,
sith
thereby
they
giue
Sathan
,
so
great
aduantage
against
them
.
O
Lord
giue
me
grace
alwaies
to
resist
Sathan
,
in
the
entrance
of
his
suggestions
,
and
temptations
,
euen
in
the
first
motions
vnto
euill
,
wherewith
he
shall
at
any
time
assaile
me
,
that
so
he
may
neuer
be
able
to
preuaile
against
me
,
or
to
get
the
dominion
ouer
me

Grace
to
be

GRace
if
it
be
not
continually
nourished
and
increased
by
all
good
meanes
,
which
God
hath
appointed
,
it
will
quickly
waste
and
decay
exceedingly
.
How
many
haue
we
seene
that
of
strong
haue
become
weak
&
feeble
?
that
hauing
for
a
time
flourished
with
many
excellent
graces
,
and
been
as
greene
Oliues
,
or
fruitfull
plants
in
the
house
of
God
,
haue
afterwards
appeared
as
seare
trees
,
and
as
withered
branches
,
as
though
they
had
almost
no
iuice
or
sap
left
in
them
,
which
might
cause
them
to
budde
forth
,
and
to
become
fruitfull
?
O
mercifull
God
,
as
it
pleaseth
thee
to
giue
me
thy
grace
in
any
measure
,
so
grant
that
I
maybe
carefull
alwaies
,
to
vse
all
meanes
,
whereby
it
may
be
preserued
,
and
daily
strengthned
,
and
increased
in
me
;
that
thus
the
longer
I
liue
in
this
world
,
the
more
fruitfull
I
may
be
,
abounding
in
euery
good
worke
;
my
last

maybe
my
best
daies
,

and
hauing
in

caused

Sathans
guilefull
temptations
.
WHo
knoweth
the
power
,
the
craft
,
&
malice
,
of
Sathan
,
the
wilie
serpent
,
that
roaring
Lyon
?
he
walketh
about
the
earth
continually
,
and
compasseth
it
to
and
fro
,
on
euery
side
looking
for
his
prey
;
yea
he
seeketh
by
all
meanes
to
insinuate
himselfe
into
vs
by
many
suggestions
,
and
diuers
kinds
of
temptations
,
and
thereby
to
sting
vs
vnto
death
:
he
waites
his
time
,
watches
the
occasion
fittest
for
his
purpose
,
and
whereby
he
may
easiliest
preuaile
;
and
as
hee
is
warie
in
choosing
his
time
,
and
taking
his
occasion
and
opportunitie
,
so
is
he
as
cunning
in
making
choice
of
the
means
,
obseruing
the
inclinations
,
the
natures
and
seuerall
dispositions
of
men
,
both
in
regard
of
mind
,
&
of
bodie
.
Thus
he
deceiued
the
perfectest
that
euer
were
on
earth
,
euen
our
first
parents
in
Paradise
,
and
that
in
the
time
of
their
innocencie
and
integritie
,
before
sin
had
made
man
so
subiect
vnto
Sathan
,
as
now
all
are
:
thus
also
since
the
fall
,
he
hath
deceiued
and
beguiled
the
wisest
that
euer
was
among
men
,
as
he
did
Salomon
;
the
strongest
,
as
he
did
Sampson
;
the
holiest
,
as
he
did
Dauid
,
&c.
There
is
no
place
so
holy
,
no
excercise
so
good
,
which
can
quaile
his
courage
,
or
restraine
the
boldnesse
of
his
attempts
:
yea
euen
the
best
things
will
he
seeke
to
make
serue
for
his
purpose
;
out
of
the
best
duties
and
actions
which
we
doe
,
or
can
performe
,
he
will
take
his
aduantage
against
vs
,
and
cause
vs
to
sinne
against
God
,
when
we
desire
&
endeuour
most
to
approue
our selues
vnto
him
.
O
Lord
sith
that
euil
one
is
alwaies
tempting
,
let
me
alwaies
,
&
in
al
things
be
vigilant
and
watchfull
:
let
my
eies
be
open
,
&
my
heart
waking
continually
,
lest
that
enuious
&
malitious
spirit
,
sow
his
tares
,
whiles
I
sleepe
in
carelesnesse
and
securitie
;
yea
sith
that
enemie
of
thy
grace
,
and
of
the
saluation
of
thy
children
,
is
so
mightie
,
so
subtile
,
and
malitious
,
grant
that
I
may
not
be
secure
at
anie
time
,
but
alwaies
keep
a
sure
guarde
ouer
my
heart
,
and
all
the
affections
of
the
same
:
and
because
I
am
weake
of
my selfe
,
be
thou
faithfull
according
vnto
thy
promise
,
to
assist
me
in
all
those
temptations
,
wherewith
Sathan
shall
at
any
time
assaile
me
:
so
shall
I
praise
the
for
euer
,
who
art
my
strength
&
my
saluation
,
euen
the
God
through
whom
I
am
able
to
doe
all
things
,
&
by
whom
all
mine
enemies
are
subdued
vnto
me
.
Christians
are
to
estrange
themselues
from
this
world
,
and
to
aspire
vnto
heauen
.
WE
are
all
of
vs
heere
pilgrimes
and
strangers
:
heauen
is
our
country
;
God
our
father
;
Christ
our
elder
brother
;
all
the
Saints
and
Angels
our
neerest
kinsfolke
,
and
our
best
friends
,
and
louingst
companions
,
who
expect
&
looke
continuallie
for
our
comming
into
that
heauenly
citie
,
that
celestiall
mansion
,
the
place
where
they
&
we
are
to
rest
&
remain
with
our
Sauiour
in
the
presence
of
that
glorious
God
for
euer
,
to
be
partakers
of
that
felicity
&
blessednes
which
is
vnspeakable
and
glorious
:
Why
then
doe
we
not
weane
our selues
from
the
world
?
why
do
we
settle
our selues
here
,
where
our
rest
is
not
?
yea
why
are
we
so
loth
to
leaue
this
drie
and
barren
wildernesse
,
where
we
liue
among
strangers
that
know
vs
not
,
yea
amongst
many
wild
and
sauage
creatures
,
who
seeke
to
do
vs
all
the
mischiefe
they
can
?
O
Lord
,
raise
vp
my
thoughts
,
and
the
affections
of
my
heart
vnto
those
things
which
are
aboue
,
vnto
those
things
which
concerne
my

:
let
it
be
continually
the
earnest
desire
of
my
heart
,
to
be
with
thee
my
God
in
the
heauens
,
there
to
behold
thy
face
in
glory
for
euer
,
and
to
haue
the
full
fruition
of
that
sweet
and
comfortable
fellowship
and
communion
of
my
Sauiour
,
and
of
all
the
Saints
&

,
wherein
consists
true
happinesse

.
Death
alwaies
to
be
remembred

MAny
liue
as
if
they
shold
neuer
die
;
they
remember
not
the
euill
daies
that
shall
come
vpon
them
,
and
the
yeares
which
shall
approch
,
wherein
they
shall
say
,
We
haue
no
pleasure
in
them
.
They
consider
not
how
their
eyes
shall
waxe
dimme
,
their
eares
deafe
,
their
tongues
speechles
,
yea
how
their
spirits
&
all
their
senses
shall
faile
them
,
and
all
those
worldlie
helpes
(
wherein
now
they
rest
and
comfort
themselues
)
vtterly
forsake
them
.
O
Lord
,
teach
thou
me
to
number
my
daies
,
that
I
may
applie
my
heart
vnto
wisdome
:
Let
me
alwaies
be
mindfull
of
my
end
,
&
consider
seriously
of
my
frailetie
&
mortalitie
,
that
so
when
death
commeth
(
which
continually
waiteth
vpon
me
)
it
may
not
find
me
vnprepared
,
but
that
in
the
last
houre
,
(
the
verie
remembrance
whereof
is
bitter
vnto
many
)
I
may
find
sound
comfort
,
and
be
translated
out
of
this
vale
of
teares
,
this
place
of
mourning
,
where
I
am
compassed
about
with
sinne
and
miserie
,
into
the
kingdome
of
thy
deare
Sonne
,
and
my
blessed
Sauiour
,
and
so
be
made
partaker
of
that
glorious
and
immortall
inheritance
,
which
thou
reseruest
for
vs
,
euen
for
all
thy
Saints
,
in
the
highest
heauens
,
the
place
where
thou
dwellest
in
glorie
and
maiestie
,
and
where
we
shall
liue
and
raigne
with
thee
eternallie

What
maner
of
life
it
becommeth
Christians
to
leade
.
THe
heathen
could
say
,
that
if
men
(
as
it
is
meet
they
should
)
would
haue
this
alwaies
in
their
minds
,
that
they
were
made
of
God
himselfe
,
in
regard
of
the
better
part
,
which
is
the
soule
and
spirit
;
that
God
was
their
father
,
he
doubted
not
but
they
would
leade
a
life
beseeming
their
estate
and
condition
;
that
they
would
do
nothing
,
whereby
they
might
shew
themselues
to
be
base
&
degenerate
,
such
as
in
whom
there
were
no
resemblance
,
of
that
diuine
and
heauenly
nature
.
Me
thinks
,
many
that
are
Christians
(
at
least
in
name
and
profession
)
should
blush
when
they
reade
,
when
they
heare
this
.
They
call
God
father
,
and
thinke
themselues
much
wronged
,
if
any
should
tell
them
that
they
were
not
his
children
,
and
that
not
onelie
by
creation
(
as
the
heathen
are
)
but
also
in
a
more
speciall
maner
by
grace
and
adoption
through
Christ
:
and
yet
behold
,
many
of
them
are
not
ashamed
of
that
vilenesse
and
basenesse
in
their
behauiour
,
their
actions
,
liues
and
practises
,
which
the
pagans
and
heathen
themselues
were
ashamed
of
,
and
haue
condemned
as
by
their
liues
,
so
also
by
their
writings
,
thereby
setting
a
brand
of
iust
reproch
and
eternall
infamie
vpon
the
foreheads
of
such
fained
&
counterfet
Christians
,
who
are
the
staine
of
true
religion
and
christianity
;
&
such
as
though
they
think
,
that
of
right
they
may
claime
this
title
to
themselues
,
to
be
the
chosen
people
of
God
,
those
to
whom
he
hath
giuen
the
name
&
priuiledge
of
his
owne
sonnes
,
yet
in
verie
deed
are
the
children
of
the
diuell
seuen-fold
more
then
the
heathen
themselues
,
who
knew
not
God
in
Christ
.
O
mercifull
Lord
,
grant
I
humblie
beseech
thee
,
that
as
I
call
thee
father
,
and
beleeue
and
acknowledge
my selfe
to
be
thine
owne
adopted
sonne
through
thy
Christ
,
in
whom
thou
hast
freely
loued
and
elected
me
from
eternitie
;
so
also
I
may
haue
grace
from
thee
(
for
thy
gift
onelie
it
is
)
not
to
fashion
my selfe
like
vnto
the
wicked
and
vngodly
,
the
men
of
this
world
;
that
I
may
not
be
like
vnto
them
in
those
vaine
courses
,
wherein
they
walke
and
delight
themselues
;
but
that
I
may
alwaies
do
those
things
which
are
beseeming
my
calling
and
profession
;
as
acknowledging
thee
to
be
my
father
,
and
glorying
in
this
,
that
I
am
thy
sonne
,
so
liuing
and
ordering
my selfe
as
it
becommeth
thy
sonne
;
euen
shining
forth
in
all
holinesse
of
life
,
and
godly
conuersation
,
to
the
glory
of
thy
name
,
the
peace
and
comfort
of
mine
owne
conscience
,
and
to
the
good
example
of
others
,
whom
thou
hast
aduanced
vnto
the
same
profession
,
which
is
so
glorious
.
Gods
patience
in
bearing
with
sinners
.
IT
is
a
wonder
,
that
the
Sunne
,
which
is
a
witnesse
of
so
many
,
and
so
enormous
sinnes
and
wickednesses
as
are
committed
vpon
the
earth
,
standeth
so
long
in
the
heauens
,
and
giueth
light
vnto
the
world
;
that
the
heauens
are
not
dissolued
,
and
that
the
elements
melt
not
;
that
the
waters
ouerflow
not
and
ouerwhelme
vs
:
yea
that
Christ
,
that
iust
and
righteous
Iudge
of
the
whole
world
,
commeth
not
in
flaming
fire
,
to
burne
vp
this
earth
with
all
the
workes
therein
,
which
are
polluted
&
defiled
with
our
sins
.
It
is
thy
mercie
O
Lord
,
that
we
are
not
consumed
.
O
be
thou
patient
towards
vs
,
who
cease
not
to
prouoke
thee
daily
.
Let
thy
good
spirit
still
striue
with
vs
,
yea
draw
vs
vnto
thee
,
with
the
consideration
of
thy
lenitie
,
and
the
riches
of
thy
bountifulnesse
;
that
so
thy
long
sufferance
may
be
vnto
vs
saluation
,
euen
an
effectuall
meanes
,
to
winne
vs
vnto
the
loue
,
and
obedience
of
thy
maiestie
,
and
so
in
the
end
to
bring
vs
to
eternall
life
and
happinesse
in
the
heauens
.
The
soule
how
it
is
to
be
fitted
and
prepared
,
for
the
entertainment
of
so
glorious
a
guest
,
as
the
holy
Ghost
is
.
IF
thou
wert
to
entertaine
some
honourable
personage
,
how
carefull
wouldst
thou
be
to
make
such
preparation
and
prouision
for
him
,
that
he
might
be
receiued
in
that
maner
that
were
fit
for
his
place
and
estate
?
how
much
more
carefull
&
sollicitous
then
oughtest
thou
to
be
,
to
prepare
the
secret
lodgings
of
thy
heart
and
soule
;
to
see
that
nothing
be
out
of
order
in
thy
whole
man
;
that
no
vncleannesse
,
nor
any
thing
which
is
any
way
polluted
remaine
within
thee
,
who
art
to
receiue
and
to
entertaine
so
honourable
a
guest
,
euen
the
holy
spirit
of
the
most
high
God
,
and
to
become
a
temple
for
so
great
,
and
so
glorious
a
presence
,
to
dwell
in
for
euer
?
O
heauenly
Father
,
purifie
my
heart
,
with
the
sprinkling
of
the
blood
of
that
immaculate
lambe
Christ
Iesus
the
righteous
;
purge
me
daily
more
and
more
from
all
my
corruptions
,
euen
those
which
are
most
secret
,
and
open
to
the
view
of
none
,
but
of
thy
all-seeing
maiestie
,
whose
eye
pierceth
thorough
all
things
,
and
seeth
and
discerneth
perfectlie
those
things
which
are
hid
from
the
sight
of
men
,
and
which
we
our selues
are
ignorant
of
.
Cleanse
me
both
in
soule
,
in
bodie
,
and
in
spirit
,
from
the
filthinesse
of
all
sinne
and
iniquitie
,
and
from
the
staine
of
all
inbred
corruption
;
and
so
sanctifie
me
throughout
with
thy
grace
,
that
I
may
be
a
fit
temple
and
mansion
for
thy
holy
spirit
to
rest
in
;
yea
that
thou
maist
delight
to
remaine
,
to
abide
,
and
to
dwell
with
me
for
euer
;
which
is
the
onely
happinesse
and
felicitie
which
my
soule
desireth
and
longeth
for
,
and
which
I
know
assuredly
,
thou
who
hast
promised
it
,
wilt
not
denie
vnto
me
.
Grieuing
of
the
spirit
of
God
.
THou
art
vnwilling
to
giue
iust
occasion
wherby
thy
kind
friend
might
be
grieued
,
and
so
for
thy
vnkind
dealing
with
him
,
be
moued
to
leaue
thee
,
and
depart
from
thee
in
displeasure
,
hauing
no
delight
,
no
desire
to
return
any
more
vnto
thee
,
no
scarcely
though
he
be
much
sought
vnto
,
and
intreated
with
great
importunitie
.
Why
then
dost
thou
daily
and
hourely
deale
so
vnkindly
with
thy
best
friend
?
why
dost
thou
grieue
the
spirit
of
God
,
which
is
the
onely
comforter
,
and
without
whom
,
thou
canst
neuer
haue
anie
true
peace
,
or
contentment
,
in
any
estate
or
condition
of
life
?
Why
dost
thou
continually
offer
him
so
iust
cause
to
turn
away
from
thee
,
yea
to
remoue
farre
off
,
and
to
denie
any
more
to
visite
thee
,
with
that
gratious
and
comfortable
presence
of
his
,
though
thou
shouldest
hereafter
neuer
so
oft
,
and
so
earnestly
seeke
and
sue
vnto
him
?
O
my
God
,
forgiue
me
my
sins
whereby
I
haue
heretofore
grieued
that
holy
spirit
of
thine
,
by
whom
thou
hast
sealed
me
,
and
assured
me
of
those
gracious
promises
which
thou
hast
made
vnto
me
in
thy
Christ
.
Forgiue
me
those
manifold
sinnes
and
trangressions
,
whereby
I
haue
from
time
to
time
,
most
grieuously
displeased
and
prouoked
thy
maiestie
,
who
hast
continually
shewed
thy selfe
euery
way
so
good
,
and
so
kinde
vnto
me
.
Hide
thy
face
from
them
,
and
let
them
neuer
come
into
thy
remembrance
,
to
be
a
meanes
to
cause
thee
(
as
iustlie
thou
maist
)
to
depart
,
and
to
take
thy
spirit
from
me
,
lest
I
die
,
and
perish
.
But
notwithstanding
my
vndeseruednesse
,
for
thy
promise
sake
,
doe
thou
stil
in
mercie
,
vouchsafe
freely
to
continue
thy
wonted
and
accustomed
loue
and
kindnesse
vnto
me
.
Giue
me
not
onely
the
presence
,
but
also
the
grace
and
comfort
of
thy
spirit
;
yea
let
it
alwaies
rest
and
remaine
with
me
,
that
so
my
spirit
may
liue
and
praise
thee

O
Lord
,
this
I
know
,
that
nothing
but
my
sinnes
,
can
hinder
this
goodnes
and
blessing
of
thine
from
me
:
forget
therefore
,
I
pray
thee
,
my
sins
past
,
couer
my
sinnes
present
,
and
keepe
me
from
falling
into
sinne
hereafter
,
and
then
I
am
assured
,
that
thy
blessed
and
gratious
spirit
shall
dwell
with
me
,
and
comfort
me
both
now
and
euer
,
according
vnto
thy
promise
.
Spirituall
desertions
.
THe
Sunne
may
be
eclipsed
for
a
while
,
by
the
interposition
of
the
thicke
&
duskie
bodie
of
the
Moone
;
but
that
being
remoued
,
it
will
quickly
cause
the
bright
beams
therof
to
shine
forth
again
vnto
the
world
.
The
Lord
may
hide
his
face
from
me
for
a
time
,
by
reason
of
my
sinnes
,
which
onely
can
make
a
separation
and
diuision
betweene
him
and
me
,
and
cause
him
to
withdraw
the
light
of
his
gracious
countenance
from
me
;
but
sure
I
am
,
that
he
will
neuer
vtterly
forsake
me
:
for
his
foundation
is
surely
laide
;
his
loue
and
grace
is
vnchangeable
:
He
hath
been
once
,
nay
often
gracious
vnto
me
,
and
will
continue
so
for
euer
.
O
my
God
,
keepe
me
from
sinning
against
thee
;
so
shall
the
light
of
thy
countenance
shine
alwaies
vpon
me
;
so
shall
I
feele
the
comfort
of
thy
presence
remaining
with
me
,
in
life
,
in
death
,
after
death
,
euen
for
euer
.
The
truth
and
faithfulnesse
of
God
,
in
performing
his
promises
.
THe
Lord
is
mercifull
in
promising
,
and
true
in
performing
whatsoeuer
he
hath
promised
vnto
his
children
.
We
haue
no
other
title
to
the
least
of
Gods
blessings
,
but
euen
this
,
his
mercie
and
truth
,
to
claime
them
by
;
and
hauing
that
,
wee
need
no
other
.
O
Lord
,
although
my
sinnes
are
many
and
grieuous
,
and
might
iustlie
cause
thee
to
withdraw
all
thy
mercies
and
fauours
from
me
,
and
to
denie
any
more
to
be
gracious
vnto
me
:
yet
Lord
,
thy
truth
and
faithfulnesse
indure
for
euer
.
O
thinke
vpon
thy
couenant
,
and
according
to
thy
mercie
,
do
thou
alwaies
remember
me
,
and
looke
vpon
me
.
Euen
for
thy
promise
sake
haue
mercie
vpon
me
;
and
notwithstanding
my
sinnes
call
for
iudgement
,
yet
doe
thou
continue
still
to
be
good
and
gracious
vnto
me
,
in
the
supplie
of
thy
manifold
blessings
and
mercies
.
The
comfort
of
a
good
conscience
,
especially
in
death
.
A
Good
conscience
is
a
continuall
feast
,
as
in
and
thoroughout
the
whole
life
time
,
so
especiallie
in
the
houre
,
and
in
the
verie
agonie
and
pang
of
death
.
With
what
sweet
&
pleasant
food
of
diuine
consolation
,
doth
it
then
feed
the
soule
,
&
refresh
the
mind
,
when
all
other
comforts
faile
,
and
become
as
running
streames
dried
vp
in
the
heate
of
summer
?
nothing
then
will
afford
the
like
comfort
vnto
this
.
Wouldst
thou
see
this
,
as
it
were
in
a
glasse
,
clearely
represented
vnto
thy
view
?
Suppose
that
euen
now
,
thou
sawest
one
lying
at
the
point
of
death
,
vpon
the
bed
of
his
sorrowes
,
readie
to
take
his
last
farewell
of
the
world
,
&
to
lay
downe
his
bodie
in
the
dust
,
where
he
should
haue
corruption
to
be
his
father
,
and
the
crawling
worme
his
mother
,
and
his
sister
;
and
the
graue
his
house
and
dwelling
place
for
a
long
season
,
whiles
his
soule
being
separated
from
his
bodie
should
depart
into
a
farre
countrie
.
Suppose
,
now
at
this
instant
,
thou
sawest
one
in
this
estate
,
(
as
thus
most
certaine
it
shall
be
with
thee
,
with
me
,
with
all
of
vs
)
what
,
thinkest
thou
,
would
be
the
greatest
comfort
vnto
him
?
what
is
it
,
that
would
most
refresh
him
and
cheere
him
vp
?
Fine
fare
,
or
sweete
iuncats
?
Alas
,
he
takes
no
pleasure
in
them
;
he
cannot
tast
them
though
they
be
neuer
so
daintie
;
or
if
he
could
,
yet
should
hee
take
no
delight
,
nor
finde
any
sweetnesse
in
them
:
for
it
is
his
soule
that
now
hungers
,
and
thirsts
,
and
seeks
for
comfort
,
whiles
his
bodie
is
almost
senselesse
:
He
desireth
,
he
looketh
for
spirituall
foode
wherewith
his
fainting
soule
,
and
languishing
spirits
may
be
fed
and
refreshed
,
and
not
for
corporall
;
yea
that
is
loathsome
vnto
him
.
Sweet
musicke
,
and
delightsome
melodie
?
Alas
,
the
daughters
of
singing
are
now
abased
;
he
is
almost
past
hearing
,
and
though
he
could
heare
it
neuer
so
well
,
yet
it
would
not
be
any
refreshing
vnto
him
,
he
could
not
solace
himselfe
in
it
;
yea
rather
it
would
seeme
harsh
in
his
eares
,
and
vnpleasant
vnto
his
mind
:
it
is
another
kind
of
musick
and
melodie
which
hee
longs
to
heare
and
hearken
after
,
that
therein
he
may
finde
sound
ioy
and
true
comfort
in
that
his
extremitie
.
His
pleasures
,
profits
,
or
great
reuenues
in
this
world
?
neither
can
these
comfort
him
in
that
houre
,
they
will
not
afford
him
any
true
ioy
,
pleasure
or
delight
;
no
though
he
might
euen
swimme
and
bathe
himselfe
in
the
abundance
of
them
:
yea
rather
they
would
be
a
trouble
vnto
him
,
they
would
disquiet
&
distract
his
mind
,
both
because
he
now
seeth
that
he
is
presently
to
leaue
them
for
euer
,
&
to
giue
a
finall
farewell
vnto
them
,
neuer
to
haue
any
vse
or
benefit
of
them
afterwards
;
as
also
,
and
that
especiallie
,
because
he
knoweth
that
he
is
forthwith
,
to
goe
to
answer
,
and
to
giue
an
account
,
both
for
the
getting
,
vsing
&
imploying
of
them
,
and
to
receiue
accordinglie
.
His
credit
,
fame
and
reputation
amongst
men
?
alas
,
although
he
were
as
famous
,
and
renowned
as
Salomon
was
,
when
he
was
so
admired
,
that
nations
came
farre
and
neere
to
see
&
to
heare
him
;
this
then
would
little
auaile
him
,
it
would
yeeld
him
no
pleasure
,
no
delight
;
yea
rather
it
will
grieue
him
to
thinke
how
that
haply
hath
bin
an
occasion
heretofore
to
make
him
proud
&
vaine-glorious
,
and
how
that
hereafter
it
will
perish
with
the
remembrance
of
him
,
and
vanish
as
the
smoake
,
so
that
all
his
glory
shall
lie
buried
in
the
dust
,
and
his
name
be
as
if
it
had
neuer
been
.
Friends
,
kins-folke
and
acquaintance
?
Neither
can
they
affoord
him
any
true
peace
and
sound
comfort
.
Indeed
in
the
time
of
his
health
,
they
might
be
a
ioy
and
refreshing
vnto
him
,
euen
the
verie
sight
and
presence
of
them
peraduenture
would
affect
him
with
an
inward
and
secret
delight
and
contentment
:
but
now
they
can
bring
little
or
no
comfort
vnto
him
,
no
more
then
Iobs
friends
did
vnto
him
in
the
depth
of
his
miserie
,
euen
sit
by
him
and
say
nothing
:
yea
rather
they
will
be
a
meanes
to
renue
his
sorrow
and
to
increase
his
griefe
,
because
he
is
so
shortly
to
take
his
last
farewell
of
them
for
so
long
a
season
,
as
also
for
that
hee
sees
them
who
are
most
deare
vnto
him
,
nothing
but
mourning
,
weeping
,
sorrowing
and
lamenting
for
him
on
euery
side
,
which
cannot
but
disquiet
and
trouble
him
very
much
,
especially
hauing
his
minde
so
much
busied
with
the
serious
consideration
of
that
long
iourney
,
which
his
soule
,
immediatly
after
the
dissolution
and
separation
thereof
from
his
body
,
is
now
presently
to
take
into
that
vnknowne
land
.
It
is
therefore
neither
the
finest
fare
,
or
daintiest
iuncats
,
the
sweetest
musicke
and
most
delightsome
melodie
,
neither
pleasures
,
profits
,
great
reuenues
,
honor
,
preferment
,
friends
,
kinsfolks
,
acquaintance
,
nor
any
worldly
thing
else
whatsoeuer
,
though
neuer
so
pretious
,
neuer
so
glorious
in
the
eyes
of
men
,
that
can
yeeld
him
any
true
peace
,
or
sound
comfort
,
when
this
houre
is
once
come
,
wherein
he
must
breathe
out
his
soule
(
which
hath
a
long
time
beene
vnited
vnto
his
body
in
such
a
firme
league
,
and
with
so
straite
a
bond
of
speciall
loue
and
amitie
,
that
it
is
death
now
to
depart
or
to
be
separated
from
it
)
and
lay
downe
his
body
in
the
dust
,
and
make
his
graue
in
the
darke
,
where
he
shall
neither
see
any
,
nor
be
seene
of
any
.
What
therfore
(
thinkest
thou
)
is
it
,
wherein
he
shall
finde
comfort
,
when
he
shall
stand
in
most
need
of
it
,
hauing
besides
all
the
former
occasions
of
griefe
and
sorrowe
,
sinne
and
Sathan
assaulting
,
yea
laying
harder
siege
against
him
,
then
euer
before
;
seeking
by
all
meanes
to
daunt
him
,
and
to
rob
&
depriue
him
of
al
true
peace
and
comfort
,
yea
if
it
be
possible
to
bring
him
vnto
deepe
despaire
?
What
then
would
be
most
sweete
and
pleasant
vnto
him
?
What
would
most
refresh
him
,
and
cheere
vp
his
languishing
spirit
?
In
briefe
;
if
thou
shouldest
aske
him
,
what
was
his
comfort
in
this
extremity
,
wherein
he
found
most
ioy
and
delight
:
would
he
not
answere
thee
,
that
his
reioycing
was
the
testimonie
of
his
owne
conscience
,
euen
in
this
,
that
he
had
endeauoured
himselfe
,
with
Paul
,
to
haue
alway
a
cleare
conscience
toward
God
,
and
men
?
in
this
that
he
had
laboured
with
Henoch
to
walke
with
God
al
his
life
long
:
in
this
,
that
it
was
his
chiefe
care
continually
,
to
liue
vprightly
,
and
sincerely
before
God
,
and
blamelesly
and
innocently
before
men
.
Would
he
not
tell
thee
,
that
this
was
the
thing
wherin
he
reioyced
,
wherewith
he
was
comforted
?
Surely
without
doubt
he
would
.
And
no
maruaile
:
For
this
,
this
(
the
testimony
I
meane
of
a
good
conscience
)
would
then
be
as
a
delightsome
feast
,
&
a
most
heauenly
banquet
vnto
him
.
It
would
be
sweete
musicke
,
and
a
pleasant
melodie
within
him
.
Neuer
did
he
tast
of
such
iuncats
,
as
these
would
be
to
his
hungry
soule
,
and
to
his
fainting
spirits
.
It
would
be
as
it
were
Manna
from
heauen
,
and
water
of
life
,
out
of
the
Sanctuarie
of
God
,
to
refresh
and
to
reuiue
him
when
hee
were
almost
dead
.
Neuer
did
he
heare
any
musicke
that
so
much
delighted
him
.
Oh
how
would
it
cheere
vp
his
soule
,
and
refresh
his
minde
,
causing
him
to
breake
foorth
into
that
speech
of
the
holie
Prophet
:
Why
art
thou
so
cast
downe
O
my
soule
?
why
art
thou
so
disquieted
&
so
troubled
within
me
?
O
put
thy
trust
in
God
,
euen
thy
God
;
reioyce
,
yea
againe
reioyce
in
him
:
for
loe
(
as
he
hath
promised
)
hee
will
send
foorth
his
light
and
his
truth
,
which
shal
leade
thee
&
bring
thee
safely
vnto
his
holy
mountaine
,
and
vnto
his
dwelling
place
.
Lo
he
wil
plenteously
reward
thee
,
receiuing
thee
presently
into
his
heauenly
palace
,
and
set
thee
vpon
a
Throne
,
and
crowne
thee
with
glorie
and
immortalitie
.
Or
to
say
with
that
ancient
and
religious
Father
:
Goe
foorth
ô
my
soule
,
what
fearest
thou
?
why
art
thou
danted
or
any
waies
dismaied
?
Goe
foorth
,
what
needest
thou
to
feare
?
Commit
thy selfe
vnto
him
;
who
as
he
is
a
faithfull
Creator
,
so
is
hee
also
a
liberall
rewarder
of
all
them
that
delight
in
well
doing
.
Behold
thou
hast
fought
a
good
fight
,
thou
hast
finished
thy
course
,
thou
hast
endeuoured
to
keepe
faith
and
a
good
conscience
,
and
to
serue
God
in
truth
,
vprightnes
and
sinceritie
all
thy
daies
.
So
therefore
those
heauenly
ministers
,
the
Angels
of
God
who
haue
heretofore
attended
vpon
thee
,
are
now
ready
waiting
for
thee
,
eue●
to
embrace
thee
wi●●
their
armes
,
and
to
c●r●ie
thee
with
ioy
and
triumph
into
that
heauenly
citie
,
that
celestiall
paradise
,
that
new
Hierusalem
,
where
thou
shalt
enioy
the
blessed
presence
of
that
glorious
God
,
a●d
the
comfortable
societie
and
compa●●●
o●
al
the
Saints
and
Angels
,
who
desire
and
expect
thy
comming
,
and
with
whom
thou
shalt
liue
,
and
conuer●e
in
heauenly
manner
,
being
●●tisfied
with
fulnes
of
ioy
,
bl●sse
and
happinesse
for
euermore
.
This
is
the
comfort
which
a
good
conscience
will
giue
,
as
thoroughout
the
whole
life
,
in
the
daies
of
triall
and
affliction
,
so
especially
in
the
last
houre
,
when
all
worldly
comforts
shall
flie
from
vs
,
and
vtterly
forsake
vs
:
As
Rahabs
threed
was
better
vnto
her
then
all
her
goods
and
substance
when
the
sword
came
,
so
wil
this
be
better
vnto
vs
than
all
the
world
,
when
death
comes
&
assailes
vs
,
which
we
know
not
when
,
or
how
soone
it
will
.
O
mercifull
God
,
I
beseech
thee
,
make
me
wise
to
consider
of
these
things
,
that
so
I
may
finde
comfort
both
now
,
and
hereafter
,
when
I
shall
most
want
it
,
most
desire
it
;
and
when
as
without
it
I
cannot
but
bee
exceeding
wretched
and
miserable
.
Grant
me
thy
grace
,
to
serue
thee
in
righteousnesse
and
holinesse
all
my
daies
,
yea
to
walk
before
thee
in
truth
and
sinceritie
with
a
perfect
heart
,
and
to
doe
alwaies
that
which
is
good
in
thy
sight
,
and
pleasing
vnto
thy
Maiestie
;
that
so
(
hauing
my
conuersation
in
this
world
in
simplicitie
,
and
godly
purenes
)
I
may
haue
the
testimonie
of
my
conscience
to
be
my
reioycing
,
and
,
as
it
were
,
a
continuall
feast
vnto
me
al
my
life
long
,
in
all
troubles
▪
miseries
and
afflictions
whatsoeuer
;
yea
and
that
when
this
short
and
transitorie
life
shall
draw
to
an
end
,
and
al
worldly
comforts
become
vaine
,
and
no
waies
auaileable
vnto
me
,
I
may
haue
the
sweete
comfort
and
solace
hereof
following
and
accompanying
me
vnto
death
,
and
resting
and
remaining
with
me
in
death
:
that
so
when
at
length
I
shall
send
foorth
my
last
breath
(
calling
to
minde
and
recounting
my
sinceritie
in
thy
seruice
,
and
resting
vpon
thy
gracious
promise
for
the
couering
of
my
manifold
defects
and
infirmities
with
thy
sonnes
righteousnes
)
I
may
then
euen
lift
vp
my
head
with
confidence
and
boldnes
,
and
taking
my
farewell
of
this
wearisome
world
,
depart
hence
with
ioy
and
reioycing
,
knowing
assuredly
that
I
shal
not
die
but
liue
,
being
clothed
with
glorie
,
and
immortalitie
for
euermore
.
This
is
my
life
,
my
hope
.
They
●hat
liue
not
thus
,
they
die
whiles
they
liue
,
and
when
they
once
die
,
they
die
for
euer
.
Oh
therefore
that
all
would
so
liue
,
that
thus
they
might
haue
peace
and
comfort
whiles
they
liue
,
and
in
the
end
die
the
death
of
the
righteous
,
and
be
made
partakers
of
their
glorie
,
which
many
wish
for
,
few
seeke
after
,
but
fewest
of
all
attaine
vnto
.
Sinne
exceeding
dangerous
,
though
pleasant
for
a
time
.
SInne
is
sweet
and
pleasant
for
the
present
;
at
least
it
seemeth
so
to
the
wicked
,
who
neuer
tasted
of
any
sweeter
delicates
:
But
certaine
,
howsoeuer
they
relish
it
for
the
present
,
yet
doubtlesse
they
shall
finde
,
to
their
griefe
and
sorrow
,
that
in
the
end
it
will
bee
as
bitter
as
gall
or
wormewood
,
yea
as
death
it selfe
.
O
Lord
,
let
me
neuer
delight
in
those
deceiuable
pleasures
of
sinne
which
last
but
for
a
season
,
&
the
end
whereof
is
bitternes
and
destruction
:
let
mee
neuer
willingly
take
down
,
no
nor
so
much
as
once
taste
of
,
those
poysoned
morsels
which
the
wicked
&
vngodly
swallow
with
so
much
greedinesse
,
as
though
they
could
neuer
bee
satisfied
or
glutted
with
them
:
but
let
me
bee
alwaies
carefull
to
auoide
all
sinne
,
as
I
would
doe
the
rankest
poyson
,
which
being
,
though
neuer
so
little
,
but
once
tasted
of
,
present
death
must
needes
followe
,
except
there
be
a
speciall
recouerie
,
by
that
sole
and
soueraigne
medicine
of
Christs
righteousnes
,
which
is
neither
giuen
,
nor
can
be
applied
to
any
of
those
,
who
wilfully
and
desperatly
drinke
downe
any
of
that
deadly
poyson
,
though
they
be
oft
forewarned
of
the
danger
of
it
.
The
vsuall
euent
of
Satans
practises
against
the
Church
of
God
.
IT
hath
alwaies
been
,
and
it
is
diligently
to
be
obserued
,
that
by
what
plots
and
practises
soeuer
,
Satan
hath
attempted
the
vndermining
of
the
Church
of
God
,
and
the
finall
subuersion
and
ouerthrow
of
the
same
,
they
haue
turned
in
the
end
,
if
not
to
the
ruine
,
yet
to
the
weakning
of
his
owne
kingdom
,
so
that
he
receiued
the
greatest
foile
,
where
hee
thought
he
should
haue
most
preuailed
.
Especially
wee
of
this
nation
,
haue
seene
this
more
apparantly
in
later
yeers
;
and
as
it
was
the
Lords
doing
,
and
wonderfull
in
our
eyes
,
so
ought
wee
neuer
to
forget
it
,
but
to
bee
alwaies
mindfull
of
it
,
yea
to
make
report
of
it
vnto
those
that
are
a
farre
off
,
and
to
rehearse
it
hereafter
to
those
that
are
yet
vnborne
,
that
so
the
goodnes
of
the
Lord
,
&
the
care
which
he
hath
ouer
his
Church
,
may
bee
knowne
and
acknowledged
,
and
due
thankes
,
praise
and
glorie
be
returned
vnto
him
by
many
,
for
the
same
,
in
all
ensuing
ages
.
O
Lord
remember
thy
wonted
mercies
,
and
continue
still
good
and
gracious
vnto
thy
Church
&
chosen
.
O
be
thou
fauourable
vnto
thy
Sion
,
and
build
vp
the
walles
of
Ierusalem
;
make
vp
the
breaches
,
and
repaire
the
ruines
and
the
desolate
and
decaied
places
thereof
:
disappoint
Satan
in
al
his
mischieuous
counsell
,
and
diuellish
policies
&
deuices
,
wherby
he
seeketh
the
ouerthrow
of
it
.
Cast
out
all
the
cursed
Iebusites
which
disturbe
the
peace
,
and
are
enemies
vnto
the
prosperitie
of
it
:
keepe
it
as
thy
little
flock
,
which
hath
alwaies
been
tender
and
deare
vnto
thee
:
loue
it
and
delight
in
it
,
as
in
thine
owne
spouse
,
which
thou
hast
chosen
vnto
thy selfe
out
of
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
:
blesse
and
sanctifie
it
with
thy
grace
,
&
defend
it
alwaies
with
thy
mightie
power
.
Compasse
it
with
a
wall
of
fire
round
about
,
and
fight
thou
from
heauen
against
them
that
fight
against
it
.
Thus
O
Lord
bee
thou
gracious
to
thine
owne
inheritance
,
thy
chosen
Sion
.
Let
peace
bee
within
the
walles
,
and
plenteousnesse
within
the
palaces
thereof
,
that
so
thy
Gospell
may
florish
,
thy
name
be
glorified
,
thy
seruants
comforted
,
thy
Saints
repaired
,
the
number
of
thy
children
on
earth
accomplished
,
these
sinfull
daies
finished
,
and
finally
the
glorious
kingdom
of
thy
Son
fully
established
for
euer
in
the
heauens
.
Amen
.
Christians
ought
to
keepe
continuall
watch
in
regard
of
Satans
assaults
.
SEest
thou
not
how
carefull
those
that
are
besieged
&
assaulted
of
their
enemies
,
are
to
haue
their
Centinels
,
and
to
make
their
defence
sure
,
and
to
fortifie
those
places
especially
where
the
enemie
giueth
the
fiercest
onset
,
or
where
there
is
more
danger
that
a
breach
should
be
made
for
his
entrance
.
Behold
thou
art
continually
enuironed
with
many
spirituall
enemies
,
the
powers
of
darknesse
,
which
haue
beset
thee
round
about
on
euery
side
:
They
haue
laid
a
strong
siege
against
thee
,
and
assault
thee
euery
houre
,
euery
moment
,
seeking
by
all
meanes
to
make
a
breach
into
thy
soule
,
and
to
bring
both
thy
soule
and
bodie
to
perpetuall
ruine
and
desolation
:
and
wilt
thou
then
be
secure
?
wilt
thou
bee
carelesse
?
nay
,
wilt
thou
foolishly
set
open
the
gates
,
consenting
vnto
sin
in
the
temptations
thereof
,
that
so
Satan
may
enter
in
and
make
a
spoile
of
thee
?
O
Lord
,
though
many
bee
so
foolish
and
vnwise
,
yet
suffer
not
me
to
bee
like
vnto
them
:
but
since
so
many
,
and
so
dangerous
enemies
,
those
spirituall
wickednesses
,
doe
bend
their
forces
and
intrench
themselues
about
me
continually
,
grant
that
I
may
bee
wise
to
preuent
the
mischiefe
which
they
intend
to
bring
vpon
me
:
make
mee
alwaies
watchfull
and
carefull
to
stand
for
my
defence
and
safetie
against
them
:
especially
let
me
seeke
and
endeuour
by
all
meanes
to
fortifie
my
soule
against
those
sinnes
,
whereby
Satan
doth
most
assaile
me
,
and
to
get
strength
against
those
weaknesses
,
whereby
hee
may
soonest
haue
aduantage
of
me
,
and
bring
me
into
danger
:
yea
O
Lord
doe
thou
watch
ouer
mee
,
doe
thou
strengthen
me
.
Heale
all
my
infirmities
,
repaire
the
ruines
of
my
soule
,
make
vp
the
manifold
breaches
therof
.
Compasse
me
about
with
thy
grace
and
fauour
,
that
so
none
of
those
spirituall
enemies
may
euer
haue
power
ouer
me
,
but
that
I
may
be
defended
from
them
in
the
time
of
this
my
warfare
heere
on
earth
,
and
hereafter
triumph
gloriously
ouer
them
in
the
heauens
for
euermore
.
Greater
care
is
to
be
had
of
things
to
come
,
then
of
things
present
.
O
How
carefull
are
most
for
their
bodies
,
how
carelesse
for
their
soules
!
For
the
things
of
this
world
what
paines
,
what
labour
doe
they
willingly
vndergo
!
for
those
of
the
world
to
come
,
how
remisse
,
how
exceeding
negligent
are
they
?
Lord
grant
that
I
may
be
alwaies
most
carefull
of
that
which
is
most
necessarie
:
that
I
may
preferre
heauen
before
earth
,
those
things
which
are
spirituall
,
before
those
that
are
corporal
;
things
which
are
permanent
and
euerlasting
,
before
the
lying
and
deceitfull
vanities
of
this
world
;
endlesse
and
vnspeakable
glorie
and
happines
,
before
vaine
and
supposed
felicitie
.
Gods
all-seeing
presence
.
THe
eyes
of
the
Lord
are
open
vpon
all
the
waies
of
men
,
hee
seeth
and
obserueth
them
;
euen
those
things
which
they
doe
in
greatest
secrecy
are
most
cleere
and
manifest
vnto
him
:
they
are
naked
&
discouered
in
his
sight
,
and
he
taketh
notice
of
all
of
them
.
O
therefore
how
great
is
the
boldnes
and
audaciousnes
of
such
as
dare
presume
willinglie
and
wittinglie
to
commit
so
grieuous
and
so
odious
sinnes
,
whiles
they
are
in
so
glorious
a
presence
!
who
is
so
prophane
and
so
gracelesse
that
should
not
be
ashamed
of
this
?
yea
that
should
not
bee
euen
astonished
in
himselfe
,
to
consider
that
all
his
sinnes
(
whereof
some
one
of
them
,
if
it
should
bee
made
knowne
vnto
the
world
,
would
make
him
blush
and
hang
downe
his
head
for
shame
)
lie
open
and
vncouered
before
the
face
of
almightie
God
,
euen
the
cleere
eyes
of
that
infinite
and
glorious
Maiesty
,
who
is
so
pure
that
he
cannot
abide
any
vncleannes
,
yea
that
hee
cannot
once
endure
the
sight
of
any
thing
,
which
is
spotted
and
stained
with
the
filth
of
sin
.
O
Lord
,
let
me
alwaies
see
thee
present
with
me
,
viewing
,
marking
,
and
obseruing
the
whole
course
and
carriage
of
my
life
;
not
only
how
I
compose
my selfe
outwardly
before
men
,
but
how
euen
the
thoughts
of
my
heart
are
framed
within
me
;
that
thus
I
may
not
onely
bee
restrained
from
the
commission
of
outward
actuall
wickednesses
,
(
which
euen
the
shame
of
the
world
causeth
many
that
are
altogether
voide
and
destitute
of
thy
sanctifying
grace
to
refraine
themselues
from
)
but
also
may
feare
to
giue
entertainment
to
any
motion
vnto
the
least
sinne
,
and
striue
after
holinesse
and
puritie
,
that
so
I
may
bee
approued
of
thee
,
and
finde
grace
and
fauour
in
thy
sight
.
A
motiue
to
patience
vnder
the
crosse
.
ALthough
it
be
grieuous
vnto
vs
,
yet
it
is
good
for
vs
to
bee
vnder
the
crosse
.
It
is
no
small
benefit
which
we
receiue
by
afflictions
,
if
we
looke
vnto
the
end
and
issue
of
them
:
for
thereby
wee
are
humbled
more
then
we
were
;
made
more
earnest
and
feruent
in
prayer
;
readier
to
seek
vnto
the
Lord
;
to
cleaue
faster
vnto
him
,
and
to
depend
solely
and
wholly
vpon
him
,
making
him
our
hope
,
our
stay
,
and
onely
refuge
;
yea
thereby
our
faith
,
hope
,
patience
,
and
all
other
graces
of
Gods
spirit
are
exercised
and
increased
,
and
that
inward
man
of
ours
daily
more
and
more
renued
,
whiles
wee
are
outwardly
oppressed
and
afflicted
.
In
briefe
,
thereby
we
are
weaned
from
the
world
,
and
the
vaine
and
transitorie
things
thereof
,
and
made
not
onely
mindfull
,
but
also
desirous
of
the
day
of
death
,
and
of
the
time
of
our
dissolution
;
whenas
being
freed
from
all
those
miseries
(
wherewith
we
are
and
shall
be
compassed
on
euery
side
,
as
long
as
wee
liue
in
this
wretched
world
,
and
carrie
this
bodie
of
sin
about
with
vs
)
wee
shall
enter
into
that
resting
place
,
where
wee
shal
want
nothing
which
may
make
for
our
blessednesse
and
felicitie
.
Let
nothing
then
be
distastful
vnto
me
,
which
thou
seest
to
bee
good
for
me
,
O
Lord
:
but
let
me
euer
be
content
(
if
it
so
pleaseth
thee
)
to
drinke
downe
willingly
the
bitterest
cup
of
the
most
grieuous
affliction
,
which
thou
shalt
offer
vnto
me
,
seeing
that
in
the
end
thereof
I
shall
find
much
sweetnes
.
None
euer
free
from
the
temptations
of
Satan
.
THere
is
none
that
is
not
often
assailed
by
the
tempter
,
euen
the
most
holie
and
righteous
men
that
liue
vpon
the
earth
:
when
one
temptation
is
resisted
and
passed
ouer
,
they
are
to
expect
another
,
and
to
prepare
themselues
for
it
:
vnlooked
for
blowes
are
most
dangerous
.
O
Lord
,
I
see
how
busie
that
enemie
of
mine
is
;
how
many
waies
he
laboureth
to
vndermine
me
,
and
that
especially
when
I
am
least
aware
of
him
.
O
let
me
be
alwaies
readie
to
meete
him
in
the
gate
,
before
hee
enter
too
farre
vpon
me
:
let
me
not
be
secure
and
carelesse
,
but
very
watchfull
and
vigilant
;
euer
prepared
to
encounter
with
him
,
and
to
resist
him
,
especially
in
the
beginning
of
his
assaults
,
wherein
if
I
withstand
him
with
faith
,
courage
and
resolution
,
I
doubt
not
,
but
with
thy
grace
,
I
shall
in
the
end
easilie
get
the
victorie
of
him
,
and
see
him
flie
before
me
.
Satans
temptations
,
sometimes
more
grieuous
and
dangerous
then
at
other
times
.
SOme
haue
more
grieuous
temptations
presently
after
their
first
calling
and
conuersion
vnto
God
:
some
long
after
;
some
throughout
their
whole
life
haue
that
euill
one
vncessantly
casting
many
fiery
darts
at
them
,
thereby
(
if
it
were
possible
)
to
wound
them
euen
vnto
death
,
almost
euery
moment
,
or
at
least
to
make
their
liues
wearisome
&
irkesome
vnto
them
:
These
are
not
to
faint
,
or
to
despaire
,
whiles
they
are
thus
tempted
,
but
to
be
the
more
carefull
to
bee
alwaies
well
appointed
,
and
readie
furnished
,
with
the
whole
compleate
armour
of
God
,
whereby
they
may
bee
able
to
defend
themselues
,
from
the
rage
and
malice
of
that
furious
enemie
and
deadly
aduersarie
of
theirs
,
who
thirsteth
after
the
blood
of
their
soules
,
and
desireth
nothing
more
then
their
vtter
ruine
and
confusion
.
Since
hee
is
so
fierce
and
eager
vpon
them
,
they
are
to
bee
thus
armed
continually
;
and
withall
to
pray
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
that
oft
and
more
earnestlie
,
that
he
would
shield
and
safegard
them
,
and
giue
vnto
them
a
ioyfull
issue
out
of
all
their
temptations
;
and
then
no
doubt
at
length
they
shall
see
the
saluation
of
the
Lord
,
in
the
ouerthrow
of
that
malitious
enemie
,
by
whom
heretofore
they
haue
bin
so
greatly
vexed
,
and
so
much
endangered
.
O
Lord
thou
art
the
God
of
my
strength
;
I
flie
vnto
thee
alone
for
succour
and
for
aide
in
these
great
extremities
,
euen
in
these
grieuous
temptations
&
assaults
,
wherby
Satan
,
my
maine
aduersarie
doth
seeke
daily
to
oppresse
my
soule
:
Doe
thou
arme
,
and
so
strengthen
mee
with
thy
grace
,
that
through
the
power
of
thy
might
,
I
may
preuaile
against
him
,
and
put
him
to
the
greatest
foile
,
when
hee
intendeth
the
greatest
mischiefe
,
and
thinketh
to
haue
the
strongest
hand
ouer
me
,
&
the
most
aduantage
against
me
;
so
shall
I
sing
praises
vnto
thy
name
,
both
now
and
euer
;
and
teach
others
to
resort
vnto
thee
in
their
greatest
dangers
,
and
hardest
conflicts
,
euen
then
when
the
powers
of
hell
,
shall
set
themselues
most
against
them
.
Sathan
more
dangerous
in
lesser
temptatious
sometimes
then
in
greater
.
MAny
are
free
from
the
danger
of
greater
tentations
,
who
are
often
ouercome
of
lesser
,
to
the
ende
that
they
might
be
truely
humbled
,
and
haue
no
confidence
in
themselues
,
or
their
owne
strength
;
seeing
of
themselues
(
as
they
finde
by
experience
)
they
are
so
weake
,
that
the
least
tentation
is
too
strong
for
them
,
and
therefore
could
not
possibly
,
but
fainte
presently
vnder
the
greatest
,
and
yeeld
without
any
resistance
,
if
they
were
not
sustained
and
supported
by
the
speciall
assistance
of
that
powerfull
God
,
against
whom
no
emnitie
is
able
to
resist
;
yea
to
whom
the
very
gates
of
hell
are
subiect
,
and
able
to
doe
nothing
without
his
permission
and
sufferance
,
who
is
absolute
Lord
of
all
things
.
O
Lord
,
thou
hast
manifested
thy
power
vnto
me
,
in
deliuering
me
from
the
danger
of
the
most
grieuous
assaults
,
wherewith
Sathan
hath
sought
my
ouerthrowe
,
and
wherby
I
feared
that
he
would
haue
soonest
preuailed
against
me
;
&
thou
hast
giuen
me
sufficient
proofe
of
mine
own
weaknes
,
in
suffering
me
to
be
foyled
,
where
there
seemed
to
be
least
feare
of
any
such
danger
.
O
let
me
alwaies
acknowledge
mine
owne
weaknes
,
and
impotencie
and
extoll
thy
grace
and
power
;
that
so
I
may
not
repose
any
trust
or
confidence
in
my selfe
,
or
in
mine
owne
strength
for
the
resisting
of
the
least
emnitie
,
the
least
assault
that
at
any
time
is
made
against
me
;
but
may
wholly
at
all
times
rest
,
and
depend
vpon
thee
,
who
alone
art
able
to
doe
all
things
.
Whom
Sathan
tempteth
most
.
SAthan
is
alwaies
most
busie
where
he
hath
least
to
doe
:
His
assaults
are
strongest
where
he
is
most
encountred
;
where
he
hath
all
things
in
possession
he
is
quiet
.
Lord
I
am
not
ignorant
of
his
continuall
enterprises
,
his
great
forces
,
his
dangerous
stratagems
,
his
mischieuous
counsell
,
and
diuellish
will
.
To
whom
shall
I
flie
,
but
to
thee
for
helpe
,
for
succour
,
and
for
aide
?
Of
my selfe
I
am
weake
,
feeble
,
fainthearted
,
neuer
able
to
meete
,
much
lesse
to
withstand
and
vanquish
so
strong
an
enemie
,
so
great
an
aduersarie
.
I
make
thee
,
O
Lord
,
my
onely
refuge
:
thou
art
my
strength
;
through
the
helpe
of
thy
Christ
,
who
hath
triumphed
gloriously
ouer
Sathan
and
al
spirituall
enmities
,
I
am
able
to
do
all
things
.
Strengthen
me
,
O
my
God
,
with
thy
might
,
through
that
glorious
power
of
thine
,
wherunto
hell
it selfe
is
subiect
:
strengthen
me
in
the
houre
of
tentation
:
Couer
my
head
in
the
day
of
battell
,
put
thy
spirit
into
my
heart
,
and
that
two-edged
sword
of
thine
into
my
hands
;
and
aboue
all
things
giue
mee
the
shield
of
faith
,
and
the
helmet
of
saluation
;
yea
put
vpon
me
that
whole
complea●e
armour
of
thine
,
that
I
may
be
able
to
resist
in
the
euill
day
when
the
rage
and
furie
of
the
enemie
shall
be
greatest
;
and
to
ouercome
,
yea
euen
to
tread
down
Satan
vnder
my
feete
,
and
so
in
the
end
,
hauing
finished
all
things
,
and
kept
the
faith
,
through
hope
and
patience
at
length
receiue
that
crowne
of
righteousnesse
,
which
thou
hast
promised
,
and
which
as
I
expect
,
so
I
know
,
thou
the
righteous
God
wilt
giue
vnto
me
,
at
that
glorious
appearance
of
my
blessed
Sauiour
;
whose
comming
as
I
dailie
looke
for
,
so
I
desire
thee
to
hasten
.
Come
Lord
Iesus
,
come
quickly
.
Amen
.
The
wonderfull
workes
of
God
in
heauen
and
earth
.
STand
and
consider
:
lift
vp
thine
eyes
to
heauen
,
and
after
that
cast
them
downe
to
the
earth
,
and
behold
the
workes
of
God
:
shalt
thou
not
haue
cause
to
admire
at
the
wisedome
thou
shalt
finde
in
them
,
and
to
giue
glorie
to
the
Lord
,
the
Creator
&
preseruer
of
them
?
Looke
vp
and
consider
the
light
of
the
Sun
,
euen
that
noble
and
swift
giant
,
which
is
appointed
of
the
Lord
to
runne
his
race
euerie
day
,
and
to
be
his
messenger
,
to
shew
forth
to
the
world
,
the
glorie
of
his
Maker
:
Consider
the
Moone
,
the
number
and
order
of
the
Starres
;
that
faire
and
excellent
curtaine
which
the
Lord
hath
drawne
ouer
vs
.
Consider
also
the
power
and
changes
of
the
wind
;
the
store-house
and
treasuries
of
the
raine
,
haile
,
snow
,
lightning
,
thunder
;
the
multitude
and
huge
heaps
of
the
waters
in
that
vast
depth
;
that
great
Leuiathan
which
taketh
his
pastime
therein
,
with
innumerable
creatures
else
which
liue
,
and
moue
there
:
Consider
likewise
the
earth
thou
treadest
vpon
;
the
natures
and
kindes
of
beasts
,
the
fruites
of
the
trees
,
the
varietie
of
flowers
,
the
properties
of
stones
,
the
vertue
of
herbes
,
of
plants
,
and
roots
:
In
brief
,
the
whole
earth
,
the
sea
,
the
heauens
,
with
all
their
rich
and
glorious
furniture
:
Haue
they
not
written
and
engrauen
vpon
them
in
great
and
text
letters
,
Praise
and
glorie
to
the
Lord
?
Yea
do
but
looke
vpon
thy selfe
,
and
into
thy selfe
,
and
shalt
thou
not
find
in
thee
,
a
little
world
,
of
strange
&
admirable
works
of
God
?
Yea
,
O
Lord
,
al
things
are
full
of
thy
wisedome
,
and
of
the
glorie
of
thy
mightie
power
.
O
let
me
delight
in
the
consideration
of
them
,
let
my
minde
bee
raised
vp
,
by
them
,
to
the
meditation
of
the
excellencie
and
great
renowne
of
thee
,
the
Creator
and
maker
of
them
;
yea
let
my
heart
be
drawne
thereby
,
to
a
holie
and
reuerent
feare
of
thy
glorious
Maiestie
,
and
to
an
earnest
desire
and
entire
affection
to
sing
praises
continually
vnto
thee
.
A
shame
it
is
for
me
to
bee
dumbe
or
silent
,
since
all
thy
creatures
are
so
loude
,
neuer
ceasing
to
speake
of
thy
praise
,
and
to
shew
foorth
thy
glorie
in
that
excellent
workmanship
,
which
thine
owne
hand
hath
framed
in
the
heauens
,
the
earth
,
the
seas
,
and
all
places
.
A
caueat
for
rash
censurers
of
the
weaknesses
and
infirmities
of
others
.
IT
is
a
thing
incident
to
the
nature
of
men
,
to
bee
very
curious
in
prying
into
the
faults
of
others
,
&
very
carelesse
in
searching
into
their
owne
waies
,
or
taking
a
view
of
those
sins
and
corruptions
which
lie
lurking
in
their
owne
bosomes
.
Experience
euery
where
giueth
too
cleere
euidence
of
this
.
It
is
a
vice
which
euery
one
,
that
hath
any
care
or
conscience
to
order
his
life
according
to
the
prescript
and
determinate
rule
of
Gods
word
,
must
labour
diligently
to
reforme
himselfe
of
.
And
sure
,
it
were
wisdome
for
men
rather
to
bee
curious
in
things
which
concerne
themselues
,
then
others
;
more
readie
to
espie
out
their
owne
faults
,
to
censure
their
owne
actions
,
and
to
iudge
their
owne
selues
,
then
others
.
For
whiles
they
sift
others
so
narrowly
,
and
passe
sentence
against
them
vnaduisedly
,
they
doe
oft
times
not
only
much
trouble
themselues
in
that
,
for
which
they
shall
haue
no
thankes
for
their
labour
,
nor
benefit
themselues
any
waies
;
but
also
erre
,
and
sinne
most
grieuously
against
God
,
and
their
neighbour
,
and
most
dangerously
against
their
own
soules
,
which
they
wound
whiles
they
seeke
to
wound
others
:
whereas
if
they
would
bee
as
carefull
to
spend
the
same
time
in
examining
their
owne
waies
,
in
looking
and
prying
into
their
own
actions
,
and
in
censuring
and
iudging
themselues
,
without
all
partialitie
and
sinister
affection
,
they
should
doe
that
which
would
bee
very
pleasing
vnto
God
,
and
very
fruitfull
and
profitable
vnto
themselues
,
and
which
they
shall
neuer
haue
cause
to
repent
themselues
of
.
Good
Lord
,
let
me
neuer
delight
,
as
many
doe
,
(
euen
like
the
Spider
,
or
such
venomous
creatures
)
to
feede
vpon
poyson
only
;
to
bee
alwaies
looking
into
the
weaknesses
and
infirmities
of
others
;
but
let
me
euer
be
more
cleere
eied
,
and
quick
sighted
,
in
espying
out
mine
own
sins
,
then
the
frailties
of
others
,
and
more
ready
to
sit
as
iudge
vpon
my selfe
,
then
vpon
others
;
yea
let
me
alwaies
bee
very
charitably
minded
,
in
hoping
,
and
interpreting
the
best
of
others
,
neuer
passing
sentence
against
them
,
no
not
in
my
secretest
thoughts
,
til
I
see
most
cleere
euidence
,
whereby
they
are
so
manifestly
conuicted
,
that
there
can
bee
no
colour
for
their
sinne
,
nor
iust
plea
for
their
defence
;
and
very
seuere
&
censorious
in
dealing
with
my selfe
;
both
fearing
and
suspecting
the
worst
euen
in
my
best
actions
;
and
iudging
and
condemning
my selfe
in
those
things
,
wherein
to
others
happely
,
I
might
seeme
rather
to
bee
iustified
and
approued
.
The
infirmities
of
others
are
to
be
borne
with
.
IT
is
a
rare
vertue
to
beare
with
the
weaknesses
and
infirmities
of
our
brethren
;
and
yet
such
as
must
bee
duly
and
carefully
practised
of
vs
all
,
if
we
be
Christians
,
not
in
name
only
,
but
in
deed
,
and
in
truth
.
We
haue
both
the
commandement
&
example
of
Christ
,
whereby
we
should
be
drawn
vnto
this
dutie
,
so
well
beseeming
all
that
are
his
.
It
is
the
will
of
God
that
wee
should
beare
one
anothers
burthen
;
and
therefore
if
wee
will
not
by
our
practise
make
open
profession
,
that
we
are
such
as
are
lawlesse
,
let
vs
bee
carefull
to
doe
it
.
And
if
any
be
more
auerse
and
backward
hereunto
(
as
indeed
such
is
the
nature
of
vs
all
,
that
wee
can
hardlie
keepe
our selues
strictly
within
the
compasse
of
this
law
)
let
him
looke
into
the
equitie
thereof
,
and
see
how
iust
and
meete
the
thing
is
,
which
the
Lord
requireth
of
him
herein
.
Consider
thy selfe
well
:
Thou
wouldest
haue
others
to
tolerate
those
things
which
,
it
may
be
,
are
intolerable
in
thee
;
and
wilt
not
thou
with
patience
,
wisedome
,
and
loue
,
beare
with
the
frailties
and
weaknesses
of
others
,
which
may
more
easily
be
endured
;
especially
if
they
bee
such
as
complaine
and
groane
vnder
that
burthen
,
so
that
thou
needest
not
lay
more
waight
vpon
them
,
except
thou
mindest
in
the
malice
of
thy
wicked
heart
,
to
presse
them
downe
,
and
cause
them
to
sinke
vnder
their
loade
,
whereas
in
meeknes
of
spirit
,
and
in
a
tender
affection
,
and
brotherly
compassion
,
thou
shouldest
seeke
to
raise
them
vp
,
and
to
strengthen
them
.
Thou
art
desirous
that
others
should
winke
at
thy
faults
which
proceed
f●om
thy
weaknes
,
and
with
a
fauorable
eye
so
look
vpon
thy
defects
,
which
thou
canst
not
couer
,
as
that
they
should
either
not
obserue
them
,
although
they
see
them
;
or
else
,
if
they
both
see
and
obserue
them
,
not
esteeme
the
worse
of
thee
for
them
,
because
that
euen
in
the
best
men
,
and
those
of
greatest
excellencies
,
there
are
many
infirmities
,
which
although
they
may
(
as
in
wisedom
they
ought
)
be
hid
from
the
view
of
others
,
yet
cannot
possibly
be
altogether
healed
as
long
as
they
remaine
in
the
flesh
,
and
carrie
this
bodie
of
sinne
about
with
them
.
Thou
art
desirous
that
others
should
deale
thus
louingly
and
charitably
with
thee
;
yea
thou
takest
it
to
bee
a
great
offence
in
them
,
and
a
great
iniurie
vnto
thy selfe
,
if
they
doe
otherwise
,
and
wilt
thou
not
(
as
the
law
of
equitie
,
according
vnto
which
all
thy
actions
should
be
framed
,
doth
straitly
binde
thee
)
mete
out
the
same
measure
vnto
others
,
which
thou
thy selfe
being
in
their
case
,
in
the
same
,
or
the
like
condition
with
them
,
lookest
to
receiue
from
them
;
and
if
they
denie
it
vnto
thee
,
complainest
,
as
if
they
dealt
hardly
with
thee
:
Oughtest
thou
not
to
be
so
affected
vnto
others
,
as
thou
thinkest
it
meete
that
they
should
be
affected
vnto
thee
?
If
thou
beest
not
,
who
can
excuse
thee
?
seeing
that
thine
own
conscience
condemnes
thee
,
whiles
thou
doest
that
thy selfe
,
which
thou
dislikest
,
and
condemnest
in
another
;
and
neglectest
that
dutie
which
thou
requirest
of
others
,
and
perswadest
thy selfe
that
all
without
exception
are
bound
vnto
.
In
briefe
,
if
thou
canst
not
be
thy selfe
,
euery
way
as
thou
wouldest
be
,
yea
and
vsest
all
diligence
,
and
carefull
endeuour
that
thou
mightest
be
;
oughtest
thou
not
in
wisedome
to
beare
with
others
,
who
doe
not
,
yea
possibly
cannot
in
euery
thing
frame
themselues
vnto
thy
liking
,
nor
be
in
euery
respect
,
as
thou
wouldest
they
should
be
?
Who
is
there
that
will
not
say
,
that
this
is
a
thing
both
iust
and
equall
?
O
Lord
,
I
know
that
none
can
attaine
vnto
absolute
perfection
in
this
world
,
but
that
all
,
euen
the
best
and
dearest
of
thy
children
,
who
haue
the
greatest
measure
of
thy
graces
,
are
subiect
vnto
many
infirmities
,
many
weaknesses
and
imperfections
euen
in
the
best
of
their
endeuours
,
wherin
they
doe
most
striue
after
perfection
:
In
my selfe
especially
I
do
finde
many
defects
,
many
wants
;
I
doe
not
,
neither
can
doe
,
as
I
would
doe
,
but
faile
in
many
things
,
wherein
notwithstanding
I
doe
desire
,
and
endeuour
to
doe
that
,
which
might
be
accepted
of
thee
,
and
pleasing
vnto
thee
:
I
see
much
weakenes
in
me
,
and
many
infirmities
,
which
I
doe
daily
groane
vnder
,
and
desire
thee
in
thy
good
time
to
heale
me
of
,
and
to
giue
me
grace
to
make
this
vse
of
them
,
euen
whiles
I
haue
mine
eyes
continually
vpon
them
,
to
be
thereby
the
more
humbled
in
my selfe
,
and
the
more
equally
,
and
charitablie
affected
toward
others
,
couering
their
offences
,
and
bearing
with
their
weaknesses
,
and
being
readie
with
the
spirit
of
loue
and
compassion
to
support
them
,
where
they
seeme
to
be
most
feeble
;
yea
to
haue
the
same
minde
and
affection
towards
them
,
that
being
in
their
estate
,
I
would
desire
that
they
should
haue
towards
me
,
and
to
put
my
shoulders
vnder
their
burthen
,
and
so
rather
to
ease
them
with
my
patience
and
sufferance
,
then
to
ouerload
them
with
my
vncharitable
dealing
with
them
,
euen
as
I
being
oppressed
in
like
manner
,
would
bee
desirous
that
they
should
beare
part
of
my
burthen
,
and
not
make
it
more
grieuous
vnto
me
,
lest
I
fainted
vnder
it
.
The
liues
of
the
Saints
of
old
,
and
men
now
a
daies
,
how
different
they
are
.
O
What
difference
is
there
betweene
our
liues
,
and
the
liues
of
the
Saints
,
and
holie
men
of
God
recorded
in
scriptures
,
and
other
writings
,
wherin
their
examples
are
commended
vnto
vs
,
as
paterns
,
and
presidents
to
follow
in
so
many
rare
,
and
excellent
vertues
,
as
they
haue
gone
before
vs
,
and
left
the
memorie
of
them
,
behinde
them
,
as
a
light
to
shine
vnto
vs
,
who
walke
in
the
darknes
of
this
world
,
in
the
middest
of
such
a
peruerse
,
and
crooked
generation
,
among
whom
we
should
shine
as
they
haue
done
.
Sure
,
when
I
lay
our
examples
vnto
theirs
,
and
compare
our
liues
with
theirs
,
me
thinkes
,
that
many
,
euen
of
those
who
are
esteemed
as
the
best
Christians
,
deserue
little
more
then
the
name
of
halfe
Christians
,
or
at
least
but
of
weake
ones
and
nouices
in
this
holy
profession
:
so
farre
doe
they
come
short
of
that
which
wee
see
to
haue
been
in
them
,
and
ought
to
be
in
our selues
.
Oh
where
is
the
holy
and
religious
conuersation
of
Enoch
?
whose
whole
life
was
a
continuall
walking
in
the
presence
of
the
glorious
God
,
and
a
daily
conuersing
,
&
familiar
acquainting
himselfe
with
him
,
in
the
carefull
and
conscionable
discharge
of
all
those
duties
which
he
required
of
him
.
Where
is
the
faith
of
Abraham
,
by
which
as
he
well
deserued
to
be
accounted
the
father
of
vs
all
,
that
are
true
beleeuers
;
so
also
he
obteined
this
as
a
singular
prerogatiue
,
and
euidence
of
the
extraordinarie
grace
and
fauour
of
God
towards
him
,
to
be
called
,
and
reputed
in
an
especiall
maner
the
friend
of
God
?
Where
is
the
meeknesse
of
Moses
?
where
is
the
patience
,
and
constancie
of
Iob
in
the
middest
of
so
many
,
and
that
so
fiery
trialls
,
for
which
the
Lord
did
so
plentifully
reward
him
,
when
there
seemed
almost
to
be
no
hope
for
him
,
and
caused
his
example
to
be
famous
among
all
them
,
that
should
heare
of
him
?
Where
is
the
holy
zeale
of
Dauid
,
whose
eyes
did
not
drop
,
but
euen
gush
forth
,
as
it
were
,
riuers
of
teares
,
and
his
heart
euen
consume
within
him
,
whiles
he
sawe
the
wicked
transgresse
the
Lawes
of
God
,
whom
he
loued
so
dearely
;
and
euen
with
iust
Lot
vexed
his
righteous
soule
from
day
to
day
,
whiles
he
beheld
the
vnlawfull
deeds
,
and
wicked
abominations
whereby
the
Lord
was
prouoked
euerie
day
?
Where
is
his
vprightnes
and
sinceritie
in
the
worship
and
seruice
of
God
,
for
which
the
Lord
graced
him
with
this
title
,
that
he
was
a
man
after
Gods
own
heart
?
Where
is
the
delight
that
he
tooke
in
the
commandements
of
God
;
wherin
he
found
such
sweetnes
,
that
all
things
els
were
nothing
so
pleasing
vnto
him
,
nor
so
much
desired
of
him
:
Where
is
that
holy
deuotion
which
proceeded
from
his
pure
minde
,
his
sanctified
heart
,
and
his
heauenly
affections
,
in
such
sort
,
that
night
and
day
,
continually
vpon
al
occasions
,
he
breathed
foorth
those
sweete
hymnes
,
and
most
pleasant
songs
and
ditties
of
laud
and
praise
vnto
the
Lord
,
for
all
his
benefits
,
as
to
himselfe
in
particular
,
so
to
the
whole
Church
,
and
all
the
Saints
in
generall
;
prouoking
them
likewise
and
all
creatures
to
do
the
same
,
with
the
same
affection
?
Where
is
the
integritie
and
vprightnes
of
Iosiah
and
Ezekiah
?
who
walked
before
the
Lord
in
truth
,
and
with
a
perfect
heart
,
doing
that
alwaies
which
was
good
in
his
sight
,
without
all
guile
&
dissimulation
?
Where
is
that
conscionable
practise
of
a
godly
and
of
a
Christian
life
that
was
in
Paul
,
whose
desire
and
endeuour
was
to
haue
alwaies
a
cleere
conscience
towards
God
,
and
towards
men
,
and
to
haue
his
conuersation
in
the
world
,
in
simplicitie
,
and
godly
purenes
?
Or
where
is
the
heauenly
mindednes
of
the
same
Apostle
?
who
whiles
hee
liued
in
the
world
,
yet
carried
himselfe
as
one
that
was
of
another
world
,
hauing
his
conuersation
in
heauen
,
from
thence
expecting
,
and
looking
for
continually
the
glorious
appearance
of
our
blessed
Sauiour
,
for
the
accomplishment
of
his
redemption
.
Or
where
is
there
that
earnest
desire
of
the
conuersion
,
and
saluation
of
others
,
which
so
manifestly
shewed
foorth
it selfe
in
him
;
in
that
it
was
not
only
the
prayer
of
his
heart
,
but
that
which
he
aimed
at
in
all
his
actions
,
and
sought
for
by
all
meanes
,
and
which
that
hee
might
attaine
vnto
,
hee
thought
no
labour
,
no
trauell
painfull
,
or
grieuous
,
no
nor
yet
esteemed
his
life
it selfe
deare
vnto
him
;
euen
that
he
might
win
many
vnto
Christ
,
bringing
them
vnto
the
knowledge
and
obedience
of
the
truth
,
that
so
their
soules
might
bee
saued
in
the
day
of
iudgement
.
Or
where
is
the
pietie
,
and
deuotion
of
that
religious
Gentill
?
who
although
he
wanted
the
meanes
which
wee
now
haue
in
more
plentifull
manner
,
yet
hath
this
commendation
giuen
vnto
him
,
that
he
was
a
man
fearing
God
,
himselfe
,
and
carefull
to
haue
his
whole
household
,
and
all
those
that
belonged
vnto
him
,
acquainted
with
true
religion
and
godlinesse
;
and
withal
,
that
he
caused
his
prayers
,
and
his
almes
to
ascend
continually
into
the
presence
of
God
,
so
that
the
Lord
tooke
pleasure
and
delight
in
him
,
and
reuealed
himselfe
more
cleerely
and
euidently
vnto
him
,
by
the
ministerie
of
his
messenger
which
hee
sent
vnto
him
for
that
purpose
.
Or
where
is
the
forwardnes
of
those
noble
Beroeans
,
in
receiuing
the
word
with
all
readines
,
and
enquiring
and
searching
into
the
Scriptures
from
day
to
day
,
that
they
might
know
&
embrace
the
truth
preached
,
and
being
well
grounded
and
setled
in
it
,
continue
stedfast
and
vnmoueable
in
the
profession
of
it
,
notwithstanding
the
opposition
of
all
false
Teachers
,
and
seducing
aduersaries
?
Or
where
is
there
one
like
,
the
first
Martyr
,
S.
Stephen
,
a
man
full
of
faith
,
and
of
the
holie
Ghost
;
and
of
that
vnfained
loue
and
charitie
,
as
to
continue
praying
for
his
deadly
enemies
,
vnto
the
last
breath
?
Or
where
bee
there
any
that
haue
that
entire
and
louing
affection
,
vnto
all
the
brethren
,
euen
to
all
the
Saints
,
which
that
beloued
Disciple
of
Christ
,
and
fatherly
Apostle
,
S.
Iohn
,
breathes
foorth
,
as
it
were
,
thoroughout
all
his
Epistles
,
and
whereof
no
doubt
he
had
receiued
so
great
a
measure
,
that
he
desired
nothing
more
then
that
as
hee
did
,
so
others
also
might
abound
in
the
same
grace
,
and
thereby
,
vpon
good
ground
,
be
well
assured
,
that
they
were
borne
of
God
,
and
translated
from
death
to
life
?
In
briefe
,
where
are
they
,
that
with
the
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
Martyrs
,
and
other
holie
men
,
and
faithfull
seruants
of
God
in
former
times
,
addresse
themselues
with
all
readines
,
willingnes
,
and
cheerfulnes
,
to
serue
the
Lord
both
day
and
night
,
in
watchings
,
in
fasting
and
praier
,
in
diuine
and
heauenly
meditations
,
and
in
the
daily
exercise
of
al
the
duties
of
a
holie
and
religious
course
;
being
content
(
if
the
will
of
God
bee
so
)
to
passe
thorough
that
fierie
triall
,
with
patience
,
and
perseuerance
;
to
bee
reuiled
,
disgraced
,
hated
,
persecuted
,
made
a
gazing
stocke
to
the
world
,
yea
euen
as
the
filth
of
the
world
,
and
the
ofscouring
of
all
things
;
and
so
to
become
euen
fooles
for
Christs
sake
,
praying
for
those
that
both
speake
and
doe
euill
vnto
them
,
and
blessing
them
that
persecute
them
:
yea
and
not
this
onely
,
but
also
euen
hating
their
owne
liues
,
and
giuing
vp
themselues
vnto
death
(
the
most
bitter
and
cruell
deaths
that
can
possibly
bee
deuised
by
the
most
bloodie
tyrants
that
euer
were
or
can
bee
)
rather
then
to
bee
once
drawne
from
the
loue
,
the
faith
,
and
obedience
of
Christ
,
and
from
the
profession
of
that
trueth
which
they
haue
receiued
?
Alas
,
how
farre
doe
wee
come
behinde
those
Worthies
that
haue
gone
before
vs
,
&
whose
example
the
Lord
hath
set
vp
as
a
light
amongst
vs
,
that
we
might
see
how
to
tread
in
their
steps
,
and
to
imitate
them
in
those
graces
,
for
which
their
memorie
shall
bee
blessed
for
euer
?
how
vnlike
are
our
liues
vnto
theirs
,
if
we
lay
them
both
together
,
&
looke
vpon
them
with
an
equall
view
?
How
few
are
those
that
shine
in
those
excellent
vertues
,
of
zeale
,
deuotion
,
faith
,
sinceritie
,
pietie
,
charitie
,
brotherly
loue
,
patience
,
constancie
,
and
perseuerance
?
in
all
which
they
haue
been
so
eminent
,
that
the
very
remembrance
of
them
may
shame
this
age
wherein
we
liue
,
and
cause
many
to
blush
,
who
thinke
that
they
haue
great
wrong
done
to
them
,
if
they
may
not
haue
the
name
for
good
Christians
,
and
be
so
reputed
and
esteemed
amongst
men
,
how
little
soeuer
they
deserue
it
indeed
.
Nay
,
so
degenerate
are
the
most
in
these
latter
times
,
and
their
liues
and
manners
so
much
swaruing
from
the
vertues
,
and
religious
courses
,
and
practises
of
our
forefathers
,
those
whom
God
hath
made
examples
for
our
imitation
;
that
euen
hee
(
according
to
the
common
rate
)
shall
bee
accounted
honest
&
religious
enough
,
and
one
that
hath
made
sufficient
proceedings
in
the
schoole
of
Christianitie
;
that
is
no
open
,
notorious
and
hainous
offender
;
not
tainted
with
any
grosse
and
capitall
crime
,
theft
,
adulterie
,
drunkennes
,
extortion
,
oppression
;
no
common
railer
or
slanderer
of
others
;
no
malitious
detracter
,
no
troublesome
contentious
person
,
but
one
of
a
free
and
ingenuous
disposition
,
of
a
ciuill
carriage
,
and
commendable
behauiour
;
one
that
liues
quietly
and
friendly
among
his
neighbours
,
and
is
carefull
of
outward
obseruances
,
which
either
law
,
or
some
other
sinister
respect
draweth
him
vnto
,
and
which
a
meere
pagan
&
heathen
might
performe
as
well
as
hee
:
though
he
bee
farre
from
the
truth
of
religion
,
neither
fearing
God
,
nor
working
righteousnesse
,
but
altogether
neglecting
those
maine
and
especiall
duties
both
of
the
publike
,
and
priuate
worship
and
seruice
of
God
,
which
hee
requireth
,
and
hath
expressely
commanded
;
as
prayer
,
due
and
diligent
reading
,
hearing
,
meditating
and
conferring
of
the
word
,
and
those
things
which
might
tend
to
spirituall
edification
;
sanctifying
of
the
Sabbath
;
instructing
of
his
familie
;
yea
although
in
reregard
of
zeale
,
he
be
of
a
colder
temper
,
then
the
luke-warme
Laodiceans
euer
were
,
euen
almost
ashamed
of
that
forwardnes
and
feruencie
in
the
discharge
of
those
duties
,
which
the
word
of
God
doth
prescribe
vnto
him
,
and
of
that
strictnes
and
precisenes
which
the
Scripture
exacteth
of
him
.
This
is
the
estate
of
our
times
;
thus
haue
most
declined
,
and
gone
backward
,
in
this
last
and
worst
age
of
the
world
,
wherein
wee
see
that
verified
which
the
trueth
it selfe
long
ago
foretold
,
and
which
now
is
most
apparent
to
all
that
haue
any
discerning
,
viz.
that
the
loue
&
zeal
of
many
is
growen
cold
;
men
generally
are
lesse
feruent
,
and
more
defectiue
in
the
duties
of
pietie
and
godlinesse
,
then
they
haue
been
heretofore
,
although
the
meanes
were
neuer
more
plentifully
afforded
vnto
any
,
then
they
are
now
,
and
through
the
grace
and
mercie
of
God
,
haue
been
a
long
time
.
It
is
wofull
,
to
see
and
consider
,
the
great
change
and
alteration
,
which
now
,
if
we
haue
eyes
,
wee
cannot
but
see
almost
in
euery
place
,
amongst
all
sorts
and
degrees
of
men
:
what
a
generall
defection
,
as
it
were
,
is
there
from
the
pietie
,
deuotion
,
innocencie
,
simplicitie
,
and
godlie
purenes
,
the
holie
conuersation
,
and
religious
practises
,
the
zeale
,
integritie
,
sinceritie
,
vnfained
loue
,
and
charitie
,
and
al
those
excellent
vertues
,
and
graces
of
the
holy
men
of
God
that
haue
bin
before
vs
?
O
blessed
Lord
,
as
thou
hast
set
the
liues
of
many
of
thy
Saints
and
seruants
,
as
an
ensample
before
mine
eyes
,
that
I
should
be
a
follower
of
them
,
and
walke
as
they
haue
walked
,
according
to
the
rule
of
thy
word
;
so
grant
,
I
beseech
thee
,
that
I
may
bee
excited
and
prouoked
,
whiles
I
looke
on
them
,
to
imitate
them
in
their
vertues
,
and
to
labour
to
frame
my
life
according
to
that
paterne
,
which
thou
in
them
hast
prescribed
vnto
me
;
and
carefully
to
endeuour
proceeding
by
one
and
the
same
rule
,
according
vnto
which
they
haue
walked
,
to
attaine
vnto
that
perfection
of
diuine
and
spiritual
graces
,
which
it
pleased
thee
to
vouchsafe
vnto
them
,
euen
because
they
chose
the
way
of
wisedome
,
and
delited
in
the
waies
of
thy
commandements
.
Let
the
example
of
their
zeale
for
thy
glorie
,
make
me
more
zealous
,
and
earnest
in
those
things
which
are
good
,
and
whereby
thou
maist
be
glorified
:
Let
the

deuotion

me
more

Their

and
godly
simplicitie
,
let

stirre
me
vp
vnto
the

vertues
:
Their

cheerefulnes
and
alacritie
in
the
works
of
thy
worship

,
let
them
draw
me
vnto
the

:
The

of
their
patience
in
so
many
,
and
so
great
afflictions
and
trials
,
let
it
be
an
especiall

the

to

loue
,
and

to
make

the
more
tender

,
louing
and
charitable
vnto
all
men
;
of
their
contempt
of
the
world
,
and
the
vanities
thereof
,
to
make
me
the
lesse
to
regard
them
;
of
their
holy

heauenly
conuersation
to

mee
the
more
heauenly

,
the

heauenly
affected
,
hauing

which
leadeth
vnto

;
I
may
hereafter
enter
into

made

Heauenly
mindednes

THE
eye
of
a
Christian
should
be
alwaies
in
heauen
:
euen
when
hee
is
most
busied
in
these
earthlie
affaires
,
he
is
to
haue
his
minde
lifted
vp
vnto
those
things
which
are
aboue
,
and
to
bee
euer
viewing
,
and
beholding
with
the
eye
of
his
soule
,
that
vnspeakable
glorie
,
and
those
endlesse
riches
and
treasures
of
euerlasting
felicitie
and
blessednes
,
which
to
the
eye
of
the
bodie
are
inuisible
,
and
cannot
be
seene
of
any
,
but
of
those
onely
which
are
spirituall
.
O
blessed
Lord
,
what
is
there
on
this
earth
,
wherein
my
soule
can
finde
any
pleasure
,
or
vnto
which
I
should
giue
the
affections
of
my
heart
?
On
euery
side
,
I
see
nothing
but
miserie
,
and
vanitie
,
continuall
occasion
of
griefe
and
mourning
.
My
treasure
,
my
ioy
and
happinesse
is
in
heauen
,
euen
in
the
place
where
thou
dwellest
in
glorie
and
maiestie
,
and
where
thou
hast
prepared
such
things
for
me
,
as
the
heart
of
man
is
not
able
to
conceiue
,
or
comprehend
:
O
therefore
let
mine
eye
neuer
be
fixed
vpon
any
earthly
obiect
;
but
let
me
alwaies
be
looking
vp
vnto
thee
,
and
to
that
heauenly
mansion
,
where
such
glorious
things
are
reserued
for
me
.
Especiall
fauours
of
God
towards
vs
,
often
and
more
especially
to
bee
remembred
of
vs
.
IT
is
a
good
thing
,
to
be
often
meditating
vpon
the
goodnesse
and
louing
kindnesse
of
the
Lord
towards
vs
,
in
those
speciall
fauours
,
and
blessings
,
whereby
hee
hath
chiefly
,
and
most
euidently
manifested
his
loue
vnto
vs
,
and
his
fatherly
care
ouer
vs
:
yea
the
least
of
his
mercies
ought
daily
to
be
remembred
of
vs
,
that
so
in
all
things
wee
might
stirre
vp
our selues
vnto
true
thankfulnes
,
which
is
a
thing
wherewith
he
is
greatly
delighted
,
and
for
which
hee
extendeth
his
louing
fauour
in
a
more
plentifull
encrease
of
his
blessings
,
and
benefits
.
O
mercifull
Lord
,
how
great
is
thy
goodnesse
towards
me
!
how
exceeding
gratious
hast
thou
been
alwaies
vnto
me
!
The
mercies
which
thou
hast
freely
vouchsafed
vnto
mee
,
are
infinite
,
and
innumerable
,
I
am
not
able
to
recount
them
.
O
let
me
euer
be
thinking
of
them
,
and
lifting
vp
my
heart
continuallie
with
vnfained
praise
and
thankes
vnto
thy
Maiestie
for
them
;
that
so
it
may
please
thee
,
to
cause
the
light
of
thy
grace
,
and
fauour
to
shine
still
vpon
me
,
euen
vnto
the
end
of
my
daies
.
How
the
conscience
is
disquieted
and
wounded
.
HE
is
a
happie
man
,
that
doth
alwaies
carefullie
auoide
euery
thing
,
whatsoeuer
it
be
,
that
may
be
either
a
staine
,
or
a
burthen
vnto
his
conscience
;
he
shall
surely
enioy
the
benefit
of
a
quiet
,
and
of
a
peaceable
minde
,
with
much
freedome
and
libertie
of
spirit
;
whereas
on
the
other
side
,
he
that
hath
little
or
no
care
of
this
dutie
,
that
regardeth
not
how
hee
defileth
his
conscience
,
or
what
loade
hee
laieth
vpon
it
,
by
doing
those
things
,
which
are
either
altogether
vnlawfull
in
themselues
,
or
else
vnlawfull
vnto
him
,
because
either
hee
hath
no
warrant
for
the
doing
of
them
,
or
else
faileth
in
the
maner
of
the
doing
of
them
;
hee
thereby
brings
a
greater
miserie
vpon
himselfe
,
then
for
the
present
hee
can
thinke
of
,
and
for
which
,
hereafter
hee
shall
meete
with
much
vntimely
griefe
and
sorrow
,
and
taste
of
much
bitternes
in
his
soule
and
spirit
.
O
Lord
,
let
me
bee
carefull
alwaies
,
to
vse
all
meanes
,
whereby
I
may
keepe
a
cleere
and
a
pure
conscience
,
doing
that
good
with
all
diligence
which
thou
hast
commanded
,
and
abstaining
with
all
my
strength
,
from
that
euil
which
thou
hast
forbidden
,
and
from
whatsoeuer
I
cannot
haue
resolution
out
of
thy
word
,
for
the
lawfulnes
of
it
;
that
so
I
may
haue
comfort
both
in
life
and
in
death
.
The
dulnes
and
sottishnes
of
worldlings
.
O
The
dulnes
of
the
hearts
of
men
,
who
minde
only
those
things
which
are
present
,
neuer
regarding
those
which
are
to
come
!
How
sottish
is
the
nature
of
man
,
that
delighteth
only
to
lie
groueling
on
this
earth
,
and
to
satisfie
his
carnall
&
his
sensuall
appetite
in
the
enioying
of
these
things
which
are
but
vaine
and
corruptible
;
yea
that
neglecteth
euen
heauen
,
and
happinesse
it selfe
,
so
that
hee
may
haue
his
fill
of
them
!
O
Lord
,
let
me
alwaies
be
far
otherwise
affected
then
the
men
of
this
world
are
,
who
sauour
onely
of
those
things
,
which
are
carnall
,
and
earthly
:
vaine
hope
of
a
long
life
vpon
earth
,
as
many
doe
;
When
it
is
morning
,
let
me
think
,
that
I
shall
not
liue
vnto
the
euening
;
and
when
the
euening
is
come
,
let
me
not
promise
vnto
my selfe
assurance
of
life
vntill
the
next
morning
,
sith
there
is
no
power
thereof
in
my
hands
:
But
let
me
liue
so
continually
,
as
if
death
were
to
seize
vpon
me
presently
;
yea
let
me
so
liue
alwaies
,
as
if
I
were
to
die
the
same
instant
,
euen
when
death
might
seeme
to
bee
furthest
off
from
mee
;
that
thus
hauing
death
alwaies
present
before
mine
eyes
,
I
may
learne
daily
to
die
vnto
the
world
,
esteeming
the
things
thereof
as
nothing
,
though
neuer
so
highly
prized
of
the
men
of
this
world
;
and
to
aspire
daily
more
and
more
,
vnto
that
spirituall
and
heauenly
life
in
thy
Christ
:
that
so
when
bodilie
death
shall
close
vp
these
eyes
of
mine
,
I
may
not
rest
in
darknesse
,
and
be
as
those
that
are
cut
off
from
their
hope
,
and
lost
their
comfort
;
but
depart
in
peace
into
that
light
of
glorie
,
where
I
shal
enioy
thy
blessed
presence
,
and
behold
thee
face
to
face
for
euermore
,
to
my
vnspeakable
happinesse
and
felicitie
.
As
is
the
life
of
a
man
,
so
is
his
death
and
finall
estate
.
AS
is
the
life
of
man
,
so
is
his
death
;
and
as
it
is
with
him
in
death
,
so
shall
it
bee
in
the
last
and
dreadfull
iudgement
.
Hee
that
hath
a
care
to
liue
well
,
it
cannot
be
,
but
that
he
should
die
well
;
and
he
that
dies
well
,
shall
assuredly
finde
the
iudgement
day
to
bee
a
maruellous
refreshing
vnto
him
:
On
the
other
side
,
he
that
liues
ill
,
how
can
he
haue
any
hope
that
he
shall
die
well
?
and
if
hee
be
miserable
in
his
death
,
how
much
more
in
the
day
of
iudgement
?
Oh
what
a
terror
shal
that
day
be
vnto
him
!
who
is
able
to
conceiue
,
what
a
sea
of
miserie
,
and
horrour
shall
then
suddenlie
ouerwhelme
him
,
in
most
fearfull
manner
?
O
my
God
,
thou
who
art
my
strength
,
my
hope
,
and
my
saluation
,
giue
mee
both
an
earnest
desire
,
and
a
carefull
endeuour
to
direct
all
my
waies
,
and
to
order
the
whole
course
of
my
life
according
vnto
the
rule
,
&
prescript
of
thy
holy
word
;
let
it
bee
my
care
,
to
haue
a
good
conscience
in
all
things
,
and
to
liue
so
,
that
my
life
being
approoued
of
thee
,
my
death
may
bee
blessed
,
and
my
appearance
before
thee
in
the
day
of
thy
comming
,
with
ioy
and
comfort
;
when
as
the
wicked
shall
not
bee
able
to
stand
in
thy
presence
,
but
call
to
the
mountaines
and
to
the
rocks
to
fall
vpon
them
,
and
to
hide
them
from
the
fiercenes
of
thy
wrath
,
which
shall
be
as
a
consuming
fire
to
deuoure
all
the
vngodly
of
the
earth
.
Iudgement
day
how
terrible
it
will
be
to
the
wicked
.
THe
angrie
countenance
of
a
seuere
Iudge
,
how
dreadfull
is
it
vnto
the
malefactor
that
stands
endited
at
the
barre
before
him
?
what
a
terror
doth
it
strike
into
him
?
how
doth
it
astonish
and
amaze
him
,
especially
if
he
bee
not
only
guiltie
of
the
fact
,
to
himselfe
;
but
perceiues
that
the
Iudge
hath
certain
knowledge
,
and
cleere
euidence
of
the
same
,
and
of
all
the
particular
circumstances
thereof
:
Oh
then
,
what
a
horrible
feare
shall
possesse
the
hearts
and
minds
of
all
sinful
and
vngodly
wretches
,
when
they
shall
stand
before
that
iust
Iudge
?
when
they
shall
bee
brought
vnto
their
answere
,
for
al
their
vnrighteous
&
wicked
deeds
which
they
haue
committed
in
the
whole
course
of
their
liues
?
when
that
glorious
God
,
that
seuere
and
mightie
Iudge
(
the
Iudge
of
the
whole
world
)
hauing
a
perfect
register
of
all
their
actions
,
words
and
workes
,
yea
of
the
secretest
thoughts
and
imaginations
of
their
hearts
;
and
hauing
all
things
which
euer
they
haue
done
,
as
cleere
as
the
Sunne
,
or
as
crystall
before
him
,
shall
looke
vpon
them
with
a
fierie
eye
,
and
with
a
frowning
and
irefull
countenance
,
and
shew
such
signes
of
his
wrathfull
indignation
against
them
,
as
that
the
heauen
shall
shake
,
and
the
earth
tremble
,
yea
both
heauen
and
earth
flie
away
from
his
face
,
and
moue
out
of
their
places
,
for
the
greatnes
of
his
wrath
,
which
shall
be
more
dreadful
,
then
the
heart
of
man
is
now
able
to
conceiue
?
O
then
what
an
astonishment
shall
come
vpon
them
?
how
shall
shame
and
confusion
couer
their
faces
?
how
shall
feare
,
griefe
,
and
anguish
euen
rend
their
hearts
,
and
soules
?
Neuer
was
Belshazzar
so
perplexed
,
so
amazed
,
and
astonished
at
the
sudden
appearing
of
the
hand
writing
ouer
the
wall
,
(
the
forerunner
of
his
speedie
destruction
)
as
they
shall
then
bee
:
The
chaunging
of
his
countenance
,
the
troublesome
thoughts
of
his
minde
,
the
loosing
of
his
ioynts
,
and
the
smiting
of
his
knees
one
against
the
other
,
was
but
a
shadow
of
that
vnspeakeable
dread
,
horror
,
and
fearefull
amazement
,
wherewith
all
vngodly
persons
shall
be
then
stricken
,
and
vtterly
confounded
in
themselues
.
Seeing
,
O
Lord
,
that
appearance
of
thine
,
in
that
day
wherein
thou
hast
appointed
to
iudge
the
world
,
shall
be
so
terrible
vnto
all
the
wicked
,
that
would
not
obey
thee
,
nor
hearken
vnto
thy
voice
,
to
walke
in
the
waies
of
thy
commandements
:
O
let
the
remembrance
thereof
make
me
alwaies
carefull
to
refraine
my
foote
from
their
paths
,
and
to
endeuour
my selfe
vnto
righteousnesse
,
that
so
when
their
feare
commeth
,
I
may
haue
cause
to
reioyce
,
and
be
glad
in
thee
;
yea
euen
to
looke
vp
vnto
thee
,
with
ioyfulnes
,
and
to
glorie
in
thy
saluation
,
who
then
wilt
shew
thy selfe
to
be
maruellous
and
exceeding
glorious
in
all
thy
Saints
,
euen
al
those
that
haue
beleeued
in
thy
name
,
and
waited
for
that
blessed
comming
of
thine
,
which
as
thou
hast
promised
,
so
let
it
bee
thy
pleasure
to
hasten
.
The
excellencie
of
a
true
Christian
.
O
How
great
is
the
excellencie
of
euery
true
christian
;
euen
of
euery
one
that
is
such
a
one
,
not
onely
in
name
,
in
title
,
or
outward
profession
,
but
in
deede
and
in
trueth
!
Surely
,
his
honour
is
great
,
his
estate
is
glorious
;
yea
the
grace
and
dignity
which
he
hath
receiued
is
such
,
as
that
the
spirit
of
a
man
,
is
not
able
fully
to
discerne
,
or
to
comprehend
the
same
.
Although
by
nature
,
he
was
the
childe
of
wrath
,
subiect
vnto
wretchednes
,
and
all
miseries
as
well
as
others
,
yet
by
grace
he
is
become
the
sonne
of
God
,
euen
of
the
most
high
God
,
and
so
partaker
of
endlesse
blisse
,
and
happinesse
:
He
is
borne
againe
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
through
the
incorruptible
and
immortall
seed
of
the
word
,
and
so
made
a
newe
creature
in
Christ
,
more
excellent
and
glorious
then
those
celestiall
creatures
,
the
sunne
,
the
moone
,
and
all
the
starres
of
heauen
.
Beeing
thus
inwardly
renued
in
his
whole
nature
,
which
before
was
so
much
corrupted
,
and
decayed
,
he
is
in
a
mysticall
&
wonderfull
maner
,
ioyned
and
vnited
vnto
Christ
,
and
made
a
member
of
his
bodie
.
Beeing
so
ingrafted
into
him
,
he
receiueth
spirituall
life
,
grace
,
and
strength
from
him
,
vntill
he
come
vnto
a
ripe
and
perfect
age
,
euen
vnto
the
measure
of
the
age
of
the
fulnesse
of
Christ
,
his
heade
.
He
is
made
partaker
of
the
diuine
nature
,
then
which
there
can
be
no
greater
excellencie
;
sith
therby
he
becommeth
like
vnto
God
,
and
hath
the
liuely
printe
of
his
image
stamped
in
his
soule
,
euen
in
those
graces
of
renued
knowledge
,
wisedome
,
righteousnes
and
true
holines
which
shine
therin
.
Beeing
created
in
this
maner
,
of
God
in
Christ
,
and
framed
vnto
the
similitude
&
likenes
of
his
owne
image
,
he
is
beloued
of
God
,
as
his
chiefest
treasure
,
and
chosen
substance
on
earth
,
more
deare
vnto
him
,
and
more
pretious
in
his
sight
,
then
all
these
visible
creatures
;
his
hearts
delight
is
set
vpon
him
.
He
blesseth
him
daily
with
all
spirituall
blessings
in
heauenly
things
.
He
hath
giuen
him
right
and
interest
vnto
all
things
,
whether
it
be
the
world
,
or
life
,
or
death
;
whether
things
present
,
or
things
to
come
,
euen
al
things
whatsoeuer
.
There
is
not
any
thing
,
but
God
causeth
it
to
work
for
the
best
vnto
him
,
and
turneth
it
vnto
his
profite
,
and
greatest
good
:
yea
such
is
his
wisedome
and
goodnes
,
that
by
a
speciall
dispensation
of
his
diuine
prouidence
,
he
causeth
poison
to
become
wholesome
vnto
him
;
making
the
very
sinnes
which
man
committeth
,
to
turne
rather
to
his
good
,
then
to
his
hurt
,
in
that
by
them
beeing
humbled
in
himselfe
,
he
bringeth
him
to
renounce
himselfe
,
and
to
cleaue
faster
and
nearer
vnto
him
,
depending
wholly
and
onely
vpon
him
,
for
the
supply
of
all
spirituall
graces
,
and
strength
;
and
to
be
more
carefull
,
and
watchfull
ouer
all
his
wayes
,
and
more
circumspect
and
heedefull
,
in
auoiding
all
sinne
,
and
the
occasions
therof
.
He
hath
those
glorious
creatures
,
the
Angels
of
God
,
as
ministring
spirits
,
continually
seruing
him
,
as
it
were
,
and
attending
vpon
him
;
yea
garding
him
,
and
compassing
him
round
on
euery
side
,
though
to
the
eye
of
flesh
,
they
are
inuisible
;
and
so
,
not
onely
keeping
and
preseruing
him
from
all
dangers
which
might
befall
him
,
but
also
beeing
meanes
from
God
,
to
conuey
much
good
vnto
him
,
as
the
experience
of
many
faithfull
seruants
of
God
,
giueth
cleare
and
euident
proofe
:
These
,
euen
these
celestiall
creatures
,
are
not
onely
his
familiars
,
and
companions
,
continually
accompanying
him
,
but
also
his
attendants
,
sent
forth
of
God
to
watch
ouer
him
,
and
to
waite
daily
vpon
him
.
He
hath
furthermore
acquainted
him
with
his
will
,
and
reuealed
his
secret
counsell
vnto
him
,
as
farre
as
is
meete
and
conuenient
for
him
,
euen
that
secret
purpose
of
his
,
which
he
had
decreed
in
himselfe
before
all
worlds
;
he
hath
made
manifest
vnto
him
,
and
giuen
him
a
cleare
sight
of
those
hidden
mysteries
wherin
is
blessednes
,
and
true
happinesse
;
he
hath
made
knowen
vnto
him
,
the
secrets
of
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
He
hath
giuen
him
also
his
spirit
,
that
blessed
spirit
of
grace
and
comfort
,
to
refresh
,
and
to
cheere
him
vp
in
al
his
griefes
and
sorrowes
,
and
to
leade
him
forth
into
greene
and
pleasant
pastures
,
so
that
he
is
fulfilled
with
that
spirituall
delight
,
and
heauenly
ioy
and
solace
,
which
is
vnspeakable
,
and
glorious
.
He
hath
set
vp
the
scepter
of
his
kingdome
in
his
heart
,
so
that
all
his
enemies
shall
fall
downe
before
him
;
euen
Sathan
the
chiefest
of
his
aduersaries
,
who
fighteth
continually
against
him
,
and
seeketh
by
all
meanes
to
bring
him
into
bondage
and
thraldome
vnder
him
.
What
should
I
say
more
?
Beeing
vnited
vnto
Christ
his
redeemer
,
and
made
bone
of
his
bone
,
and
flesh
of
his
flesh
,
he
is
also
ioyned
,
and
nearly
allied
vnto
God
the
Father
,
and
so
being
ioynt-heire
with
the
Sonne
,
hath
that
crowne
of
immortal
glory
belonging
vnto
him
,
and
shal
at
length
,
euen
when
this
short
life
is
ended
,
liue
,
and
raigne
in
that
celestiall
kingdome
,
with
God
himselfe
,
and
with
all
his
holy
Saints
,
and
elect
Angels
for
euermore
:
And
in
the
meane-while
,
euen
whiles
he
liueth
here
crawling
as
it
were
vpon
the
earth
,
&
hauing
the
place
of
his
abode
heere
below
,
where
he
is
as
one
of
no
reputation
in
the
world
which
knoweth
him
not
;
he
hath
his
life
,
his
conuersation
,
and
his
chief
abode
in
heauen
,
being
alwaies
looking
vp
vnto
that
place
of
his
glory
which
is
aboue
,
where
Christ
Iesus
his
sauiour
,
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
his
father
;
his
eyes
are
euer
lifted
vp
vnto
heauen
,
and
set
vpon
those
things
which
are
within
the
vaile
,
where
his
hope
,
yea
his
heart
is
;
so
that
euen
whiles
he
liueth
with
his
bodie
on
earth
,
in
minde
and
in
soule
he
is
transported
in
a
maner
,
into
heauen
it selfe
,
and
seeth
those
things
in
spirit
,
which
are
vnutterable
,
and
which
flesh
and
bloud
,
or
the
senses
of
a
natural
man
can
neuer
reach
vnto
,
neuer
be
able
in
any
sorte
to
comprehend
.
O
Lord
,
who
can
expresse
the
honor
which
thou
hast
giuen
vnto
thy
Saints
?
who
is
able
to
declare
the
speciall
grace
,
which
thou
in
thy
infinite
goodnes
and
mercie
,
hast
vouchsafed
to
euery
one
,
whom
it
hath
pleased
thee
,
to
giue
vnto
thy
Christ
,
and
in
him
to
elect
and
chose
vnto
life
,
and
saluation
,
according
to
the
good
pleasure
of
thy
will
,
before
the
world
was
?
Oh
with
what
glorie
and
honour
hast
thou
crowned
them
!
how
highlie
hast
thou
aduanced
them
!
being
moued
thereunto
by
nothing
that
was
in
them
,
but
only
of
thy
free
loue
and
mercie
,
that
therby
thou
mightest
cause
thy
infinite
grace
and
glorie
to
shine
forth
vnto
the
world
,
to
the
praise
of
thy
name
throughout
all
generations
.
O
blessed
God
,
whose
mercy
and
kindnes
vnto
mankind
is
so
infinit
,
and
incomprehensible
;
seeing
it
hath
pleased
thee
,
in
the
exceeding
greatnes
of
thy
loue
,
and
riches
of
thy
grace
towards
mee
in
Christ
,
to
chuse
mee
vnto
life
and
glorie
,
and
to
make
mee
,
euen
me
so
vnworthie
a
creature
,
one
of
that
small
number
,
whom
thou
hast
so
highly
honored
in
this
world
,
and
wilt
for
euer
glorifie
,
euen
with
that
exceeding
measure
of
glorie
in
the
world
to
come
:
O
let
my
heart
and
my
mouth
neuer
cease
praising
and
magnifying
thy
great
and
glorious
name
;
and
howsoeuer
I
may
seeme
vile
and
contemptible
in
the
eyes
of
the
world
,
which
doth
neither
know
thee
,
nor
thine
,
but
hath
alwaies
hardly
intreated
those
whom
thou
hast
chiefly
honored
,
esteeming
them
as
the
scumme
and
ofscouring
of
the
earth
,
the
very
abiects
of
men
,
yea
men
vnworthie
to
liue
in
the
world
;
yet
let
me
neuer
passe
any
thing
at
all
,
how
the
blinde
world
doth
iudge
or
esteeme
of
me
,
or
how
it
is
affected
towards
me
;
but
let
me
alwaies
reioyce
in
thee
and
glorie
in
thy
saluation
,
and
rest
continually
in
a
comfortable
hope
and
ioyfull
expectation
,
of
all
that
goodnes
of
thine
which
thou
hast
treasured
vp
in
store
for
mee
in
thy
kingdome
,
and
whereof
thou
hast
giuen
mee
the
first
fruits
already
,
as
a
pledge
,
and
assurance
of
that
,
which
I
shal
haue
the
full
fruition
of
hereafter
,
for
euer
.
An
humble
heart
most
pleasant
vnto
God
:
a
proud
▪
most
vile
and
abominable
.
AN
humble
and
a
lowlie
hart
is
a
mansion
wherein
the
Lord
delighteth
to
dwell
;
he
filleth
and
replenisheth
it
with
the
riches
of
the
graces
of
his
spirit
:
but
as
for
the
proud
and
high
minded
,
they
are
an
abomination
vnto
him
:
His
soule
doth
loath
them
,
and
his
spirit
will
neuer
rest
nor
remaine
with
them
;
they
are
no
fit
mansion
for
him
;
yea
they
are
meete
only
,
to
be
an
habitation
for
Satan
,
that
euill
and
vncleane
spirit
,
who
being
the
father
of
the
children
of
pride
,
can
take
no
pleasure
,
where
hee
findeth
true
humilitie
,
but
seeketh
for
lodging
in
those
especially
,
who
are
of
a
proud
and
hautie
spirit
:
These
are
his
darlings
,
in
these
is
his
chief
delight
;
in
them
he
hath
a
roome
alwaies
ready
trimmed
&
prepared
for
him
;
euen
in
the
closets
of
their
hearts
,
where
he
dwelleth
and
raigneth
continually
,
&
from
whence
he
will
neuer
depart
,
as
long
as
hee
findeth
so
fit
a
mansion
for
him
.
The
onely
way
to
cast
him
out
of
the
heart
,
and
soule
of
man
,
is
to
emptie
it
altogether
of
pride
,
and
to
haue
it
garnished
with
that
excellent
grace
of
humilitie
and
lowlinesse
.
O
Lord
,
who
art
the
fountaine
of
all
grace
,
giue
vnto
me
,
I
earnestly
desire
thee
,
a
contrite
spirit
,
a
meeke
,
and
an
humble
heart
:
Banish
all
pride
and
vanitie
of
minde
far
from
me
,
and
make
me
lowly
,
yea
base
and
vile
in
mine
owne
eyes
,
that
so
that
wicked
spirit
being
vtterly
dispossessed
,
and
finding
no
abiding
place
within
mee
,
I
may
bee
fit
to
entertaine
that
good
spirit
of
thine
;
thou
maist
delight
to
dwell
and
remaine
with
me
,
and
to
fill
my
emptie
soule
,
with
those
pretious
riches
,
and
treasures
of
thy
heauenly
graces
,
which
are
the
things
which
my
heart
desireth
and
longeth
after
:
Oh
doe
thou
heare
me
,
and
satisfie
me
,
as
my
trust
is
in
thee
,
who
I
know
assuredly
wilt
neuer
faile
me
,
nor
withhold
thy
goodnesse
from
me
,
whiles
I
seeke
vnto
thee
with
a
heart
vnfained
.
Confidence
in
any
creature
,
a
most
vaine
thing
.
WHat
a
vaine
thing
is
it
to
put
any
trust
or
confidence
in
man
,
or
in
any
creature
?
what
is
this
but
to
rest
vpon
a
broken
reed
?
How
greatly
do
such
deceiue
themselues
?
how
oft
doe
they
faile
in
their
desires
,
and
misse
that
which
they
hoped
for
?
O
Lord
God
,
who
art
glorious
and
wonderfull
in
power
and
strength
,
nothing
is
or
can
be
hard
vnto
thee
;
thou
only
art
my
hope
;
all
my
trust
&
confidence
is
in
thee
.
Whom
haue
I
in
heauen
,
or
in
earth
but
thee
?
vpon
thee
,
thee
only
I
rest
and
depend
continually
.
O
doe
thou
neuer
forsake
me
.
Suspition
.
THE
best
man
is
alwaies
le●st
suspitious
:
But
hee
that
is
giuen
euer
to
mistrust
and
to
suspect
the
worst
of
others
,
as
it
may
be
iustly
feared
that
hee
hath
a
very
corrupt
and
vnsound
heart
himselfe
,
so
it
may
bee
vndoubtedly
affirmed
,
that
he
is
very
offensiue
and
displeasing
vnto
God
,
very
vnquiet
in
himselfe
,
and
most
vncharitable
towards
his
neighbour
,
whom
notwithstanding
,
he
hurteth
not
so
much
thereby
as
himselfe
.
O
Lord
,
increase
the
grace
of
true
charitie
daily
more
and
more
in
me
:
Let
me
alwaies
be
looking
into
mine
owne
hart
,
&
considering
the
paths
of
mine
owne
feete
;
let
me
feare
mine
owne
waies
,
and
suspect
the
worst
of
my selfe
in
all
my
actions
,
being
priuie
vnto
those
secret
corruptions
which
lie
lurking
within
me
;
and
both
thinke
and
hope
the
best
of
others
,
because
I
know
not
what
thy
worke
is
,
or
may
be
in
them
:
yea
let
me
alwaies
be
ready
,
to
iudge
,
accuse
,
and
condemne
my selfe
;
and
euen
in
my
thoughts
to
excuse
,
and
acquit
others
,
by
making
a
fauourable
interpretation
of
all
their
doings
,
vntill
such
time
as
thou
doest
manifest
,
&
giue
cleere
euidence
,
that
they
are
such
,
as
are
not
to
be
approoued
:
Thus
I
shall
please
thee
,
and
not
sinne
against
those
,
towards
whom
I
ought
alwaies
,
to
bee
charitably
affected
,
and
free
from
all
ill
suspition
and
wicked
surmizes
.
Why
the
Lord
suffereth
oft
times
the
infirmities
of
his
children
to
be
knowne
to
others
.
IT
is
a
meanes
oft
times
to
make
a
man
the
more
humble
,
to
know
that
others
are
priuie
vnto
his
wants
,
his
weaknesses
and
infirmities
,
which
hee
was
desirous
to
keepe
secret
;
to
perceiue
that
the
sores
and
blemishes
of
his
soule
lie
open
vnto
the
view
of
others
,
which
hee
could
wish
rather
were
couered
and
kept
close
.
And
for
this
end
,
the
Lord
many
times
in
mercie
and
goodnes
,
doth
suffer
the
shame
and
nakednes
of
his
children
,
to
bee
discouered
before
the
face
of
others
,
when
as
they
would
gladly
haue
it
hid
from
the
eyes
of
all
,
and
not
seene
of
any
;
yea
hee
doth
suffer
them
to
fall
by
many
weaknesses
and
infirmities
,
euen
such
as
are
no
waies
pleasing
,
but
grieuous
,
and
irksome
vnto
them
;
that
so
he
may
cause
them
to
be
the
more
humble
and
lowly
,
and
not
to
lift
vp
their
hearts
at
any
time
aboue
their
brethren
,
but
so
to
demeane
themselues
,
that
it
may
appeare
that
they
esteem
better
of
others
,
then
of
themselues
;
which
is
an
excellent
and
a
singular
grace
,
&
whereunto
,
all
that
are
yet
defectiue
herein
,
should
labour
by
all
meanes
to
attaine
.
O
Lord
,
if
it
seeme
good
vnto
thee
at
any
time
,
to
make
others
to
see
the
weaknes
of
thy
seruant
;
to
cause
my
wants
,
imperfections
,
and
infirmities
to
be
knowne
and
discerned
of
others
(
as
thou
knowest
how
readie
I
am
to
faile
,
if
thy
grace
doth
not
continually
sustaine
me
)
let
it
not
grieue
me
so
much
,
that
others
behold
that
in
me
,
which
may
cause
me
to
be
ashamed
,
as
make
me
euery
day
more
carefull
to
vse
al
meanes
to
bee
healed
,
and
cured
of
those
diseases
whereunto
my
soule
is
subiect
,
and
inclinable
through
sinne
;
and
to
increase
as
in
all
other
graces
,
so
especially
in
true

The
heauen
of
the
godly
,
and
the
hell
of
the
wicked
in
this
life
.
IF
there
be
a
heauen
in
this
world
,
it
is
the
true
Christian
onely
that
enioyes
it
,
in
whose
heart
that
blessed
spirit
doth
dwell
,
comforting
and
refreshing
him
continually
in
an
vnspeakable
maner
.
If
there
be
any
hell
in
this
life
,
it
is
in
the
soule
and
conscience
of
the
wicked
and
vngodly
man
,
whom
Satan
that
euill
spirit
hath
possessed
,
and
bereaued
of
that
which
should
bee
the
ioy
and
comfort
of
his
life
;
and
not
that
onely
,
but
also
euen
oppressed
with
many
feares
,
and
sorrowes
,
and
with
much
anguish
and
horrible
amazement
,
arising
from
his
hellish
and
guilty
conscience
.
O
blessed
God
,
who
hast
giuen
me
,
to
see
the
great
difference
,
which
is
betweene
the
estate
of
thy
children
,
and
of
the
wicked
and
vngodly
,
euen
in
this
world
;
how
that
the
one
is
blessed
and
happie
,
the
other
wretched
and
miserable
;
grant
that
I
may
not
at
any
time
desire
to
haue
the
same
lot
with
the
wicked
,
though
it
seeme
outwardly
to
fare
well
with
them
,
but
let
me
alwaies
rest
in
thee
,
and
reioyce
in
that
portion
which
thou
hast
giuen
vnto
mee
,
knowing
that
on
earth
there
can
be
no
better
inheritance
,
nor
any
estate
more
to
be
desired
.
The
cares
of
this
world
what
hindrances
they
are
to
the
sincere
and
entire
worship
of
God
.
HE
that
is
insnared
,
and
intangled
with
the
things
of
this
world
,
or
that
is
not
free
from
all
inordinate
affections
whatsoeuer
,
cannot
haue
a
perfect
and
an
vpright
heart
before
God
,
nor
freedome
of
spirit
in
his
worship
and
seruice
.
The
soule
onely
that
is
emptied
of
the
troublesome
cares
,
and
sinfull
desires
wherwith
most
are
surcharged
;
and
the
minde
that
is
set
at
liberty
from
all
earthly
vanities
,
is
fit
to
come
before
God
,
with
truth
,
vprightnes
,
and
sinceritie
,
and
to
offer
such
sacrifices
with
which
he
is
well
pleased
,
and
wherein
he
most
delighteth
.
O
Lord
,
let
not
the
excessiue
and
inordinate
desire
of
any
earthly
thing
cleaue
vnto
me
;
emptie
my
heart
of
the
cares
of
this
world
;
banish
farre
from
me
the
loue
of
all
those
things
,
whereby
I
may
any
waies
bee
hindred
from
the
performance
of
those
duties
,
which
thou
requirest
of
me
;
and
grant
that
I
may
be
carefull
to
vse
all
meanes
,
whereby
my
affections
may
be
so
rightly
ordered
,
that
I
may
serue
thee
with
a
good
heart
,
in
integritie
and
sinceritie
all
my
daies
.
True
zeale
.
THey
that
are
trulie
zealous
,
are
more
zealous
against
themselues
,
then
others
.
As
they
doe
not
(
when
iust
occasion
,
and
opportunitie
is
offered
)
suffer
the
open
sinnes
of
others
to
passe
vnreproued
;
so
they
are
least
partiall
towards
themselues
,
but
are
readiest
to
check
themselues
,
euen
for
their
inward
,
and
most
secret
corruptions
:
As
they
haue
an
eye
vnto
the
actions
of
others
,
&
are
carefull
to
discountenance
sinne
,
by
fastening
a
seasonable
rebuke
,
and
iust
censure
vpon
it
,
wheresoeuer
it
doth
apparently
shew
and
manifest
it selfe
;
so
especially
they
are
alwaies
chiefly
prying
into
their
own
actions
,
and
hauing
espied
a
fault
,
are
most
seuere
,
&
censorious
in
iudging
and
rebuking
themselues
for
it
:
They
are
grieued
at
the
offences
of
others
,
but
their
owne
sinnes
,
they
doe
most
gall
them
;
yea
they
can
neuer
be
quiet
,
whiles
they
see
the
relikes
&
remainders
of
them
abiding
in
them
,
but
euen
groane
daily
vnder
the
burthen
of
them
,
and
vse
all
means
to
haue
their
hearts
purged
and
freed
from
them
.
Good
Lord
,
increase
true
zeal
daily
more
and
more
in
me
:
let
me
not
through
childish
feare
,
nor
any
other
sinister
respect
,
bee
too
slack
and
remisse
in
shewing
my
dislike
of
the
sinnes
which
others
doe
commit
against
thy
Maiestie
,
and
yet
let
me
not
be
so
readie
to
censure
others
,
as
to
reprooue
,
and
reforme
my selfe
.
A
dangerous
thing
to
affect
the
glorie
of
the
world
.
HE
that
loueth
God
,
and
seekes
his
glorie
,
cannot
bee
altogether
carried
away
with
the
vaine
glorie
of
this
world
,
but
will
either
despise
it
,
or
at
least
set
very
light
by
it
.
He
that
loueth
the
glory
of
this
world
,
and
doth
not
only
affect
it
,
but
is
also
very
eager
in
the
pursuite
of
it
,
thirsting
after
the
praise
,
and
applause
of
men
;
it
is
a
signe
that
there
is
little
or
no
loue
of
God
,
or
of
his
glorie
in
him
.
These
are
things
that
cannot
stand
together
;
the
one
of
them
doth
exclude
the
other
;
the
more
the
one
of
them
doth
increase
,
the
more
the
other
must
needs
decrease
and
bee
diminished
.
Is
there
any
therefore
,
that
with
a
greedie
,
and
ambitious
minde
doth
hunt
after
the
praise
of
men
,
and
the
glorie
of
this
world
;
sure
it
cannot
be
,
but
that
he
should
exceed
in
charitie
,
who
shall
thinke
him
to
bee
truly
religious
,
or
well
affected
towards
God
,
or
vnfainedly
desirous
of
his
glorie
.
O
Lord
,
let
not
my
heart
bee
set
vpon
the
glorie
which
is
from
earth
,
and
from
men
,
but
vpon
that
which
is
from
heauen
,
euen
that
which
commeth
from
thee
alone
:
Let
the
glorie
of
this
world
(
though
neuer
so
glittering
in
the
eyes
of
men
)
seeme
vnto
me
(
as
indeed
it
is
in
it selfe
)
but
vaine
vanitie
,
yea
more
vaine
then
vanitie
it selfe
;
but
let
the
glorie
of
thy
name
bee
deare
and
pretious
vnto
me
,
aboue
al
those
things
which
are
most
desired
of
them
that
know
thee
not
:
yea
,
O
Lord
,
let
it
please
thee
to
inflame
this
chill
and
this
cold
heart
of
mine
with
a
greater
loue
and
zeale
thereof
dailie
more
and
more
;
and
to
increase
in
me
an
earnest
desire
and
endeuour
to
seeke
,
and
to
set
it
foorth
,
to
the
vttermost
of
my
power
,
and
by
al
means
,
and
vpon
all
occasions
which
thou
shalt
offer
vnto
me
.
In
this
onely
,
let
me
alwaies
be
very
ambitious
.
A
singular
priuiledge
belonging
vnto
all
the
children
of
God
.
THe
Lord
doth
cause
all
things
to
work
together
for
the
best
vnto
his
children
.
It
is
good
for
euery
one
of
the
godly
,
to
labor
to
see
and
to
finde
this
by
experience
in
himselfe
,
and
in
his
owne
estate
.
The
diligent
obseruation
hereof
,
cannot
but
make
him
both
patient
,
cheerefull
,
and
vnfainedly
thankfull
in
all
miseries
,
and
afflictions
,
either
outward
,
or
inward
;
whether
it
be
sicknesse
of
bodie
or
distresse
of
minde
,
or
whatsoeuer
else
may
befall
him
,
throughout
the
whole
course
of
his
life
,
euen
to
his
last
houre
.
O
gracious
father
,
whose
exceeding
loue
,
and
vnspeakable
goodnes
all
thy
children
doe
daily
tast
of
in
so
great
,
and
abundant
measure
;
giue
me
,
I
humbly
pray
thee
,
not
onely
to
see
,
and
acknowledge
the
same
with
al
thankfulnes
,
but
also
to
haue
a
liuely
sense
and
feeling
thereof
,
at
all
times
,
in
all
things
:
Let
me
assuredly
perswade
my selfe
,
that
thou
doest
loue
me
,
and
hast
loued
me
eternally
in
thy
sonne
,
and
in
thy
loue
towards
me
,
doest
,
and
wilt
cause
euery
thing
,
which
betideth
me
in
this
world
,
to
tend
vnto
my
great●st
good
;
and
let
the
assurance
,
together
with
the
continuall
experience
hereof
,
cause
me
to
rest
quietly
,
contentedly
,
and
thankfully
in
all
estates
;
howsoeuer
it
shall
please
thee
to
deale
with
me
.
Iustification
by
faith
onely
.
IS
it
not
strange
,
that
any
should
be
so
blind
,
so
extreamly
deluded
with
a
vaine
and
fond
conceite
,
of
their
owne
goodnes
and
inherent
holines
,
as
to
thinke
,
or
once
to
imagine
that
they
may
stand
iust
before
God
thorough
their
owne
righteousnes
?
that
they
should
perswade
themselues
,
that
by
the
merit
and
worthinesse
of
their
owne
workes
they
haue
right
and
interest
vnto
life
and
saluation
?
yea
that
they
should
challenge
,
and
make
claime
thereunto
,
as
vnto
that
which
is
due
vnto
them
as
a
iust
recompence
and
reward
which
they
haue
well
deserued
,
and
which
God
himselfe
cannot
without
iniustice
detaine
,
and
withhold
from
them
;
nay
,
that
they
should
goe
so
farre
as
to
affirme
boldly
,
that
they
may
doe
workes
of
supererogation
,
more
then
God
hath
commanded
,
or
could
require
at
their
hands
,
such
as
wherby
they
may
merit
great
things
not
onely
for
themselues
,
but
for
others
also
?
Had
they
euer
the
spirit
of
Christ
?
or
did
they
euer
receiue
the
annointing
of
that
holy
one
,
who
teach
,
maintaine
,
or
beleeue
this
doctrine
,
so
directly
crosse
and
contrarie
vnto
the
Scriptures
,
so
exceeding
derogatorie
from
the
free
grace
and
mercie
of
God
,
and
from
the
merit
of
the
death
and
passion
of
Christ
Iesus
our
onely
sauiour
and
redeemer
,
by
,
and
for
whose
satisfaction
,
obedience
and
righteousnesse
alone
,
we
receiue
the
promise
of
the
Gospell
,
through
faith
,
without
any
deserts
of
our
owne
.
Alas
,
what
is
man
,
or
what
are
the
workes
of
the
best
men
,
that
they
should
present
them
vnto
God
,
and
plead
with
him
for
the
obtaining
of
so
great
a
reward
,
for
the
righteousnes
and
worthinesse
of
their
owne
deedes
?
Nay
,
certaine
it
is
,
that
if
God
should
make
inquiry
into
the
best
actions
of
the
most
holy
and
sanctified
men
that
liue
vpon
the
earth
,
or
that
euer
were
most
pure
,
most
perfect
,
and
most
spotlesse
and
blamelesse
in
this
world
(
as
great
is
the
commendation
wherewith
God
hath
honoured
many
of
his
Saints
)
if
he
should
marke
and
obserue
them
,
and
enter
into
iudgement
with
them
for
the
same
;
there
is
none
,
no
not
one
of
them
(
as
the
best
and
holiest
of
them
haue
freelie
acknowledged
)
that
should
bee
iustified
,
yea
that
should
not
be
condemned
,
and
perish
euerlastingly
,
being
neuer
able
to
endure
his
presence
;
so
pure
and
so
holy
is
his
Maiestie
,
so
iust
and
so
righteous
are
his
iudgements
,
that
no
flesh
can
abide
the
triall
thereof
.
O
Lord
,
most
glorious
and
most
righteous
God
,
when
I
looke
vp
vnto
the
throne
of
thy
iustice
,
and
set
my self
before
thy
tribunall
and
iudgement
seate
,
I
feare
,
&
tremble
,
&
am
ready
to
flie
from
thy
presence
,
as
not
able
to
stand
before
thee
,
nor
to
answere
for
one
of
a
thousand
of
those
things
whereby
I
haue
most
grieuously
offended
thy
most
glorious
Maiesty
,
and
for
which
thou
mightest
iustly
condemne
mee
for
euer
,
if
thou
shouldest
once
call
me
vnto
a
straite
account
of
the
same
,
yea
euen
of
the
least
of
them
,
and
deale
with
me
therein
,
not
according
to
thy
great
mercie
,
but
according
vnto
mine
owne
deseruings
:
When
I
looke
back
vnto
my
life
past
,
&
take
a
view
of
the
whole
course
therof
,
how
sinfull
,
how
vnfruitfull
&
vnprofitable
it
hath
been
,
I
am
confounded
in
my selfe
,
and
dare
not
lift
vp
mine
eyes
to
heauen
for
the
multitude
of
my
offences
and
transgressions
,
whereby
I
haue
continually
displeased
&
prouoked
thee
:
When
I
consider
my
present
estate
,
how
many
weaknesses
,
and
infirmities
I
am
subiect
vnto
,
how
sinne
cleaueth
fast
vnto
me
,
and
inuironeth
and
compasseth
me
round
about
on
euery
side
:
yea
how
defectiue
my
best
endeuours
,
how
corrupt
and
sinfull
my
best
actions
,
and
seruices
are
,
and
haue
been
:
yea
how
much
my
whole
life
hath
swarued
from
that
perfect
and
exact
rule
of
iustice
which
thy
law
requireth
,
I
am
astonied
,
and
stricken
with
a
great
feare
,
knowing
that
the
time
will
shortlie
come
,
when
I
must
appeare
before
the
tribunall
of
thy
iustice
,
to
answere
for
all
my
actions
,
euen
for
all
those
things
which
I
haue
done
in
the
flesh
,
the
workes
of
my
hands
,
the
words
of
my
mouth
,
and
the
most
secret
thoughts
and
imaginations
of
my
hart
,
and
to
receiue
accordingly
:
What
therefore
is
my
hope
?
vnto
whom
shall
I
flie
?
wherein
is
my
trust
?
Surely
,
my
hope
,
my
trust
,
and
my
confidence
is
not
in
any
merits
or
worthinesse
of
mine
owne
,
but
onely
in
thy
mercie
O
Lord
,
and
in
the
al-sufficient
merits
of
thy
Christ
,
my
Lord
and
blessed
Sauiour
,
who
hath
giuen
himselfe
to
death
for
me
,
and
powred
foorth
his
pretious
blood
vpon
the
crosse
,
to
make
full
satisfaction
for
me
,
and
to
reconcile
me
vnto
thy
Maiestie
.
Loe
therefore
,
I
doe
humbly
prostrate
my self
,
O
Lord
,
before
the
throne
of
thy
grace
and
mercy
in
Christ
Iesus
.
I
doe
renounce
my self
,
and
vtterly
disclaime
mine
owne
righteousnes
,
acknowledging
it
to
bee
but
as
a
stained
and
polluted
cloth
,
and
desire
only
to
appeare
before
thee
in
that
righteousnesse
of
thy
Sonne
,
and
to
be
found
in
him
,
whom
alone
thou
hast
made
vnto
mee
wisedome
,
righteousnesse
,
sanctification
and
redemption
.
Were
it
not
that
I
had
comfort
in
this
,
I
should
be
of
all
creatures
the
most
miserable
;
yea
had
I
not
trusted
herein
,
I
had
long
since
perished
,
and
bin
vtterly
confounded
.
Behold
mee
therefore
,
O
gracious
God
,
and
louing
Father
,
behold
me
with
the
eye
of
thy
mercie
.
Looke
vpon
mee
not
as
I
am
in
my selfe
,
all
stained
and
defiled
with
sinne
and
iniquitie
,
but
in
thy
Sonne
,
euen
that
iust
and
holy
one
,
who
only
is
my
righteousnesse
,
and
my
saluation
;
and
in
whom
alone
I
do
,
and
will
trust
both
in
life
,
and
in
death
.
Accept
therefore
of
me
graciously
in
him
.
Clothe
and
couer
me
with
the
pure
and
spotlesse
garments
of
his
righteousnes
,
and
holinesse
,
that
so
the
filthinesse
of
my
pollution
may
neuer
appeare
in
thy
sight
,
who
art
of
so
pure
eyes
,
that
all
sinne
is
an
abomination
vnto
thee
:
let
the
merit
of
his
obedience
,
of
his
death
and
passion
,
whereby
he
offered
himselfe
a
sacrifice
pleasing
and
acceptable
,
and
of
sweete
smelling
sauour
vnto
thee
,
for
all
thy
chosen
,
and
redeemed
ones
,
be
a
full
satisfaction
for
me
,
and
for
all
my
sinnes
,
though
neuer
so
many
and
so
grieuous
.
Let
me
through
faith
in
him
,
be
made
partaker
of
his
puritie
,
of
his
innocencie
,
of
his
righteousnes
,
of
his
holinesse
,
and
of
his
perfection
;
that
so
howsoeuer
I
am
in
my selfe
vncleane
,
sinfull
,
vnrighteous
,
vnholy
,
and
full
of
manifold
infirmities
and
imperfections
,
yet
in
him
,
and
through
him
,
I
may
appeare
in
thine
eyes
pure
as
he
is
pure
,
innocent
as
he
is
innocent
,
righteous
as
he
is
righteous
,
holy
as
hee
is
holy
,
and
perfect
as
he
is
perfect
;
and
being
accepted
into
thy
grace
and
fauour
through
him
in
this
life
,
may
haue
confort
and
confidence
in
death
,
and
in
the
day
of
iudgement
;
and
liue
with
thee
in
glorie
in
the
life
to
come
,
together
with
Christ
my
Sauiour
&
redeemer
,
and
with
thy
blessed
Spirit
,
and
with
all
thy
Saints
and
elect
Angels
,
in
that
kingdome
which
thou
hast
prepared
,
and
of
which
I
rest
in
continuall
hope
and
expectation
,
desirous
of
the
accomplishment
of
thy

,
which
is
endlesse
blessednes

A
comfort
for
afflicted
consciences
.
THere
is
none
that
receiueth
a
great
measure
of
spirituall
comfort
,
and
diuine
consolation
,
whereby
his
spirits
are
cheered
,
and
his
soule
refreshed
and
filled
with
inward
ioy
and
gladnes
;
but
he
hath
vsually
some
grieuous
temptation
,
either
going
before
,
or
following
after
it
.
Thus
the
Lord
doth
ordinarily
deale
with
his
children
;
there
are
none
of
his
Saints
,
but
haue
experience
of
it
in
themselues
.
The
Lord
doth
not
alwaies
cause
the
ioyfull
light
of
his
cheerfull
countenance
to
shine
cleerely
vpon
them
;
he
doth
not
alwaies
fill
their
hearts
with
that
peace
which
passeth
all
vnderstanding
,
or
rauish
their
soules
with
that
inward
and
spiritual
ioy
,
and
comfort
,
which
is
vnspeakable
and
glorious
;
neither
doth
hee
alwaies
absent
himselfe
,
or
hide
the
brightnes
of
his
face
from
them
,
but
sometimes
he
doth
graciously
visite
them
,
and
causeth
them
to
taste
abundantlie
of
the
sweetnes
of
his
kindnesse
,
his
mercie
,
and
goodnesse
,
so
that
they
are
exceedingly
refreshed
,
and
feele
such
diuine
and
heauenly
comfort
,
and
inward
solace
,
as
that
they
are
not
able
outwardly
to
expresse
it
;
and
sometimes
again
as
though
hee
had
forgotten
them
,
he
seemeth
to
hide
and
to
absent
himselfe
from
them
,
and
suffereth
them
to
be
assailed
with
some
grieuous
temptation
,
so
that
their
day
is
turned
into
night
,
their
light
into
darknesse
,
their
ioy
and
gladnes
into
sorrow
and
heauinesse
.
And
this
the
Lord
doth
,
that
he
may
cause
them
to
acknowledge
this
to
be
his
gift
,
euen
that
inward
&
spirituall
comfort
wherewith
their
spirits
doe
reioyce
before
him
,
and
therefore
to
be
thankfull
vnto
him
,
when
they
receiue
it
,
or
haue
a
more
especiall
sense
and
feeling
of
it
;
as
also
to
make
them
to
depend
wholly
vpon
him
,
who
is
the
life
of
their
soules
,
and
without
whom
there
can
bee
no
true
solace
,
no
found
ioy
;
and
withall
to
exercise
their
faith
,
their
hope
,
and
their
loue
,
the
proofe
whereof
is
seene
in
those
spirituall
desertions
.
O
Lord
God
,
if
it
be
thy
will
,
let
thy
spirit
of
peace
and
confort
alwaies
rest
vpon
me
;
let
me
taste
continually
of
the
sweetnes
of
thy
mercies
,
wherewith
thou
art
wont
to
refresh
the
soules
of
thy
seruants
,
after
that
they
haue
been
wearied
and
oppressed
with
any
grieuous
affliction
or
temptation
:
but
if
it
seeme
good
vnto
thee
,
for
the
triall
of
my
faith
,
and
for
the
exercise
of
the
graces
of
thy
spirit
in
me
,
to
withhold
at
any
time
this
blessing
for
a
while
from
me
,
and
to
depriue
me
of
the
liuely
sense
and
feeling
of
spirituall
and
diuine
consolation
,
yet
let
me
not
faint
,
but
rest
in
hope
,
and
expect
with
patience
the
time
of
thy
gratious
and
heauenly
visitation
,
with
which
according
vnto
thy
promise
thou
wilt
refresh
and
comfort
me
,
giuing
vnto
me
the
oyle
of
ioy
for
mourning
,
and
the
garment
of
gladnesse
for
the
spirit
of
heauinesse
,
that
so
thy
name
may
bee
glorified
of
mee
,
in
the
thankfull
acknowledgement
of
thy
goodnes
towards
me
.
The
Christians
glorious
conquest
.
THere
is
none
that
can
attaine
vnto
so
great
a
conquest
in
this
world
,
as
a
true
Christian
:
Hee
through
the
grace
,
which
hee
receiueth
from
Christ
,
who
daily
assisteth
him
,
and
is
alwaies
present
with
him
,
sustaining
him
with
his
effectuall
power
,
is
able
to
doe
more
then
all
the
greatest
Monarchs
,
or
mightiest
Potentates
in
the
earth
can
possibly
doe
of
their
own
strength
,
yea
though
they
gather
all
their
forces
together
.
For
he
doth
not
only
conquer
himselfe
,
and
subdue
his
own
lusts
which
rebell
against
the
spirit
of
his
minde
,
but
also
he
ouercommeth
this
world
,
yea
the
prince
thereof
,
euen
Satan
himselfe
,
with
all
those
spirituall
wickednesses
which
raigne
in
others
,
and
haue
them
continually
in
subiection
vnder
them
.
O
Lord
,
without
thee
I
am
able
to
do
nothing
;
with
thy
helpe
,
there
is
nothing
but
shall
bee
easie
vnto
me
:
Let
it
please
thee
continually
to
assist
mee
with
thy
grace
,
and
to
strengthen
mee
with
thy
mightie
power
,
that
so
I
may
daily
see
all
mine
enemies
more
and
more
subdued
vnto
mee
;
and
hauing
gotten
the
victorie
and
conquest
of
them
in
this
life
,
may
hereafter
receiue
that
crowne
of
life
,
which
thou
hast
promised
vnto
all
them
that
ouercome
;
liuing
and
raigning
with
thee
,
and
with
all
that
heauenly
and
victorious
host
of
thine
,
in
glorious
,
and
triumphant
manner
for
euermore

Amen

The
difficultie
of
conquering
a
mans
selfe
,
and
his
owne
affections
.
A
Man
must
striue
along
while
,
and
that
with
great
earnestnes
,
and
continuall
exercise
and
endeauour
,
before
he
can
ouercome
himselfe
,
and
hauing
mastered
his
owne
will
and
waiward
affections
,
giue
vp
himselfe
wholly
vnto
the
obedience
of
God
in
all
things
,
with
humble
submission
both
of
body
and
soule
:
So
great
resistance
and
opposition
shal
he
finde
within
himselfe
,
by
reason
of
his
corrupt
nature
,
euen
that
treacherous
enemie
,
which
lieth
lurking
continually
in
his
owne
bosome
,
haling
and
drawing
him
from
that
which
is
good
,
and
hindring
him
in
euery
godly
purpose
,
and
in
euery
holy
action
and
religious
enterprise
,
in
such
sorte
,
that
except
he
euen
offer
violence
,
as
it
were
,
vnto
himselfe
,
and
to
his
sinfull
nature
,
and
labor
with
a
strong
hand
to
subdue
corruption
within
him
,
he
cannot
preuaile
.
O
Lord
my
strength
,
without
thee
I
can
doe
nothing
,
vnto
thee
therefore
do
I
stretch
forth
my
hands
.
Thou
knowest
how
weake
and
how
fraile
I
am
;
how
vnable
of
my selfe
to
resist
that
secret
enemie
which
continually
opposeth
himselfe
against
me
in
euery
thing
which
is
good
:
thou
seest
how
hard
a
matter
it
is
for
me
to
bring
euery
thought
of
my
heart
,
euery
motion
,
desire
and
inclination
of
my
will
,
and
euery
action
of
my
life
,
vnto
that
subiection
and
obedience
which
thou
requirest
;
how
difficult
to
frame
my selfe
wholly
vnto
thy
will
,
and
to
submit
my selfe
vnto
thee
in
all
things
,
according
vnto
that
rule
and
commandement
which
thou
hast
giuen
vnto
me
.
O
therfore
let
it
please
thee
to
strengthen
me
with
thy
grace
,
which
alone
is
sufficient
for
me
:
let
it
please
thee
to
helpe
me
in
all
my
weaknesses
,
and
to
giue
vnto
me
a
greater
measure
of
Christian
fortitude
,
and
of
spirituall
courage
and
resolution
;
&
withall
to
giue
good
successe
vnto
all
my
actions
,
enterprises
and
endeauours
in
the
way
of
godlines
,
and
saluation
:
yea
O
Lord
,
let
it
please
thee
to
leade
me
forth
in
the
constant
and
continuall
practise
,
and
exercise
of
pietie
and
true
religion
;
and
in
the
resistance
of
all
enmitie
whatsoeuer
,
that
so
when
the
time
of
this
spirituall
warfare
is
ended
,
I
may
receiue
that
incorruptible
crowne

glorie

which
thou
hast
promised

The
worlds
esteeme
of
Gods
children
.
IF
one
comes
into
the
presence
of
a
kings
sonne
,
or
some
great
or
noble
personage
,
hee
no
sooner
seeth
him
,
but
he
is
moued
with
reuerence
,
and
sheweth
that
according
to
the
worthines
of
his
person
,
he
doth
regard
and
honour
him
.
But
as
for
the
sonnes
of
God
,
who
haue
God
to
their
father
,
Christ
their
elder
brother
,
all
the
Saints
and
Angels
their
companions
,
and
fellow-bretheren
;
and
the
kingdome
of
heauen
it selfe
their
inheritance
for
euer
,
where
they
are
to
liue
and
raigne
as
kings
,
in
that
glory
which
is
vnspeakeable
;
how
little
are
they
regarded
in
the
world
?
how
meanly
accounted
of
?
What
small
honour
is
shewed
vnto
them
,
whom
the
king
of
heauen
,
doth
and
will
honour
so
greatly
?
Nay
are
they
not
of
all
men
,
the
most
base
and
contemptible
in
the
eyes
of
men
?
The
nearer
they
are
vnto
God
,
the
more
they
are
loued
and
honoured
of
him
,
are
they
not
the
more
hated
&
despised
of
the
world
?
Euen
holy
Dauid
a
man
after
Gods
owne
heart
,
is
but
a
worme
,
and
not
a
man
,
in
the
account
of
men
.
Iehoshua
and
his
followers
,
monstrous
persons
.
Paul
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
,
as
the
filth
and
of
scouring
of
all
things
,
men
vnworthie
to
liue
vpon
the
earth
.
In
briefe
,
all
the
saints
,
who
are
deare
and
precious
in
the
eyes
of
God
,
euen
made
signes
and
wonders
amongst
men
.
Cease
to
wonder
at
this
:
It
is
no
newe
,
no
strange
thing
:
The
world
knoweth
,
and
hath
alwaies
knowen
his
owne
,
and
maketh
much
of
them
;
but
those
that
are
Gods
,
it
neither
knowes
,
nor
regardeth
.
And
no
marueile
,
since
it
knoweth
not
God
himselfe
,
but
hateth
and
despiseth
him
,
euen
whiles
,
in
a
false
and
counterfaite
maner
,
it
professeth
loue
vnto
him
.
Behold
we
(
euen
all
the
faithfull
)
are
now
the
sonnes
of
God
:
such
loue
,
such
honor
hath
our
heauenly
Father
vouchsafed
vnto
vs
:
but
yet
our
glory
and
dignity
doth
not
appeare
;
but
when
Christ
our
hope
,
our
life
and
glorie
,
shal
be
reuealed
and
made
manifest
,
then
shall
we
be
changed
into
the
glory
of
his
image
,
we
shal
be
like
vnto
him
,
and
then
shall
the
blinde
and
contemptuous
world
both
see
and
know
him
and
vs
,
to
their
owne
shame
and
confusion
.
Lord
,
let
me
neuer
regard
the
railings
of
the
wicked
Shemeis
of
this
world
,
nor
the
mockes
and
scoffes
of
those
prophane
Ishmaelites
,
who
could
neuer
abide
thy
chosen
people
,
the
sonnes
of
the
promise
,
for
whom
thou
hast
prouided
the
inheritance
:
yea
let
me
passe
very
little
to
be
iudged
of
mans
iudgement
,
euen
of
those
who
are
carried
whither
their
owne
blinde
and
corrupt
reason
,
or
fancie
leadeth
them
:
But
let
me
alwaies
know
and
consider
,
that
thou
seest
not
as
man
seest
,
that
thy
thoughts
are
not
as
their
thoughts
,
but
that
I
am
deare
and
precious
in
thy
sight
,
and
shal
be
glorious
hereafter
for
euer
,
euen
with
the
same
glorie
wherewith
thy
Christ
my
sauiour
is
glorious
:
Let
mine
eyes
alwaies
be
fixed
vpon
that
blessed
estate
,
wherein
I
shall
continue
for
euer
in
the
heauens
;
and
let
the
hope
thereof
cause
me
to
purge
my selfe
,
that
I
may
be
pure
,
euen
as
he
is
pure
,
vnto
whom
then
I
shall
bee
made
conformable
in
righteousnesse
,
glorie
and
happines
.

GOd

seeth

They
are
many
times
of
great
esteeme
amongst
men
,
who
are
vile
in
Gods
sight
,
such
as
he
hath
reiected
:
And
on
the
other
side
,
they
are
highly
in
Gods
fauour
oftentimes
,
who
are
very
meanly
esteemed
of
among
men
;
yea
despised
,
and
accounted
as
the
refuse
of

and
the

of
the

Those
which
seeme
the
least
and
most
contemptible
in
the
eye
of
men
,
are
oft
,
the
greatest
and
most
honourable
in
the
sight
of
God
;

seeme

very

(
such

in
whom
nothing
is

appeare
as

O
Lord
seeing
thou
dost
iudge
so
differently
from
that
which
the
world
iudgeth
,
hauing
so
precious
an
esteeme
of
those
whom
that
maketh
no
account
of

accounting

yea
abominable
,
and
to
bee
abhorred
of
all
,
whom
that
doth
chiefly
magnifie
,
and
most
esteeme
of
;
let
me
haue
this
resolution
alwaies
,
to
passe
very
little
what
corrupt
men

or

blinde
world
deemeth

iudgeth
of

;
and
let
it
be
my
speciall
care
to
labour
alwaies
by
all
meanes
to
be
approued
of
thee
,
and
to
be
assured
that
howsoeuer
others
shall
seeke
to
cast
shame
,
reproch
,
and
dishonour
vpon
me
,
yet
that
I
am
good
in
thine
eyes
,
and
pretious
in
thy
sight
;
one
whom
thou
dost
iustifie
,
and
wilt
glorifie
.
The
willing
and
ioyfull
bearing
of
the
crosse
,
a
signe
of
a
well
growen
Christian
.
HE
that
doth
finde
sweetnesse
in
drinking
of
the
bitter
cup
of
afflictions
,
which
God
daily
offereth
vnto
him
,
it
is
a
signe
that
hee
is
a
good
proficient
in
the
exercise
of
Christianitie
,
and
true
religion
:
For
to
beare
the
crosse
patiently
,
willingly
,
and
comfortably
;
to
endure
wrongs
and
iniuries
;
to
denie
himselfe
,
and
to
die
daily
vnto
the
world
,
yea
to
be
crucified
vnto
it
,
and
to
haue
it
crucified
vnto
him
,
is
more
then
a
carnall
and
naturall
man
can
possibly
doe
,
or
he
that
hath
not
through
a
daily
practise
of
humilitie
,
and
true
obedience
learned
whollie
to
subiect
himselfe
vnto
Gods
will
and
pleasure
.
Good
Lord
,
seeing
it
pleaseth
thee
to
cause
me
to
taste
of
the
bitternes
of
many
afflictions
,
grant
that
they
may
not
seeme
grieuous
,
but
pleasant
vnto
me
;
knowing
that
it
is
thy
will
thereby
to
humble
me
,
and
to
make
me
more
fit
for
the
receiuing
of
a
greater
measure
of
thy
heauenly
grace
.
Seeing
thou
hast
appointed
me
daily
to
take
vp
my
crosse
and
to
follow
my
blessed
Sauiour
,
who
in
so
many
sufferings
of
his
,
hath
gone
before
me
,
and
left
his
example
as
a
paterne
and
president
behinde
him
,
vnto
which
all
that
are
his
,
should
endeuour
to
frame
themselues
,
that
so
they
may
bee
conformable
vnto
him
;
I
humbly
beseech
thee
,
that
it
would
please
thee
,
to
giue
mee
patience
,
willingnes
and
cheerefulnes
in
vndergoing
whatsoeuer
it
shall
seeme
good
vnto
thee
to
lay
vpon
me
,
being
fully
assured
,
that
hereby
I
shall
haue
entrance
vnto
glorie
,
euen
that
glorie
into
which
thy
Christ
hath
alreadie
entred
,
and
made
a
way
for
me
;
and
of
which
all
these
light
and
momentarie
afflictions
are
not
worthie
,
nor
in
any
sort
comparable
thereunto
.
The
exceeding
follie
and
vanitie
of
the
wicked
.
O
The
vaine
and
preposterous
courses
of
men
!
who
doth
not
wonder
that
beholdeth
,
and
considereth
them
?
and
how
should
they
not
blush
,
and
be
exceedingly
ashamed
of
their
follie
and
sottishnes
when
they
thinke
of
them
?
Let
the
flattering
and
deceitful
world
call
them
and
allure
them
with
the
enticing
promises
of
earthly
and
temporall
things
,
pleasures
,
profits
,
honours
,
euen
those
things
which
are
fading
and
transitorie
;
and
they
are
readie
to
follow
it
presently
,
and
to
shew
themselues
seruiceable
vnto
it
with
all
willingnes
and
readinesse
that
may
be
;
yea
to
vndergoe
much
labour
and
toile
,
and
to
endure
great
hardship
,
and
to
passe
thorough
many
difficulties
,
in
the
earnestnes
of
their
desire
to
attaine
vnto
that
,
whereof
notwithstanding
they
faile
oft
times
,
and
come
short
of
their
hope
,
and
expectation
:
Let
God
(
whose
word
is
truth
,
and
who
neuer
faileth
any
in
that
which
hee
promiseth
vnto
them
,
nor
deceiueth
them
that
rest
vpon
him
,
and
giue
credit
vnto
his
word
,
but
satisfieth
them
most
abundantly
,
and
returneth
more
vnto
them
then
they
did
either
expect
,
or
could
desire
)
let
God
,
euen
that
gratious
and
bountifull
God
(
with
whom
is
the
treasurie
of
all
good
things
)
call
them
,
and
promise
vnto
them
the
vnspeakable
riches
of
celestiall
and
heauenly
things
,
such
as
are
most
excellent
and
glorious
,
farre
passing
the
most
desireable
things
of
this
world
,
and
such
as
shall
neuer
fade
,
nor
bee
any
waies
diminished
,
or
once
subiect
vnto
any
change
or
alteration
;
yet
they
haue
no
heart
to
come
vnto
him
,
or
to
follow
him
,
but
are
exceeding
heauie
and
drowsie
,
yea
very
vnapt
and
vntoward
vnto
that
which
were
so
greatly
for
their
good
;
and
in
which
alone
consisteth
true
blessednesse
,
and
eternall
felicitie
,
and
happinesse
.
O
Lord
,
let
me
neuer
bee
so
foolish
as
the
men
of
this
world
are
,
in
whom
there
is
no
vnderstanding
:
let
me
be
more
carefull
to
serue
thee
,
then
they
are
to
serue
the
world
,
euen
that
cursed
Mammon
which
they
make
their
god
.
Let
me
labour
more
for
spirituall
and
heauenlie
things
,
such
as
shall
remaine
and
abide
for
euer
,
then
for
those
things
which
are
carnall
and
earthly
,
and
such
as
are
of
no
continuance
,
but
shall
quickly
perish
,
and
passe
away
as
a
shadow
,
and
bee
quite
forgotten
,
euen
as
if
they
had
neuer
been
.
Yea
let
me
alwaies
preferre
that
inestimable
price
of
glorie
,
that
chief
,
that
vnchangeable
,
and
euerlasting
good
which
thou
hast
promised
and
prepared
for
thy
Saints
in
that
celestiall
kingdome
which
I
daily
expect
and
hope
for
,
before
all
the
alluring
and
deceitfull
vanities
,
the
seeming
and
supposed
good
,
yea
all
the
most
pretious
and
glorious
things
of
this
world
whatsoeuer
,
wherwith
those
that
are
earthly-minded
are
so
greatly
enamoured
,
and
wherein
they
place
the
height
of
their
false
and
imaginarie
felicitie
and
happinesse
.
The
spirit
of
God
is
the
life
of
the
soule
.
AS
is
the
bodie
without
the
soule
,
so
is
the
soule
without
the
spirit
of
God
,
which
is
the
life
thereof
.
If
there
bee
a
separation
of
the
soule
of
man
,
what
is
his
bodie
,
but
a
dead
,
and
a
liueles
corpse
or
carcase
,
hauing
no
sense
,
or
motion
?
It
cannot
once
breathe
or
stirre
it selfe
,
nor
put
foorth
any
power
for
the
performance
of
the
least
action
:
So
is
it
with
the
soule
of
euery
one
,
in
whom
the
spirit
of
God
is
wanting
,
or
from
whom
it
is
departed
:
There
is
no
life
,
no
vigour
,
no
power
,
or
abilitie
to
doe
any
thing
which
is
good
:
yea
sooner
may
a
dead
body
moue
it self
,
and
exercise
the
actions
,
and
operations
of
a
naturall
life
,
then
the
soule
which
is
without
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
so
destitute
of
the
life
of
grace
,
can
shew
foorth
any
certaine
signes
and
effects
of
a
spiritual
life
.
O
Lord
,
I
haue
found
by
experience
what
a
deadnes
there
is
vpon
me
,
if
thou
at
any
time
withdrawest
thy
spirit
,
and
doest
not
cause
it
to
worke
effectually
vpon
my
soule
;
without
the
continuall
presence
,
and
assistance
thereof
,
I
am
not
able
to
doe
,
no
not
to
will
,
or
desire
in
any
sort
that
which
is
good
,
but
am
euen
as
a
breathlesse
and
liuelesse
creature
,
one
in
whom
there
is
no
life
.
O
therefore
let
it
please
thee
to
powre
out
thy
spirit
plentifully
vpon
me
;
let
me
alwaies
finde
it
not
only
present
,
but
also
powerfully
working
within
me
,
&
quickning
me
vnto
the
willing
and
cheerefull
performance
of
all
those
things
which
thou
requirest
of
me
:
yea
let
it
please
thee
,
(
in
whom
only
I
liue
,
and
moue
,
and
without
whom
I
am
as
one
whose
spirit
is
departed
from
him
,
)
let
it
please
thee
,
O
Lord
,
to
breathe
the
life
of
grace
daily
more
and
more
into
me
,
and
to
inspire
me
continually
with
good
motions
,
with
holy
and
heauenly
desires
,
that
so
I
may
delight
in
those
things
which
are
pleasing
vnto
thee
,
and
bring
foorth
the
fruits
of
the
spirit
abundantly
,
throughout
the
whole
course
of
my
life
,
to
the
praise
of
the
glorie
of
thy
grace
(
from
whence
alone
is
all
my
sufficiency
and
abilitie
)
to
the
benefit
of
those
among
whom
I
either
now
doe
,
or
hereafter
shall
liue
;
and
to
the
endlesse
comfort
and
saluation
of
mine
owne
soule
,
through
Christ
my
Lord
and
Sauiour
,
who
with
thee
,
O
father
,
and
with
thy
holie
spirit
,
bee
blessed
and
praised
both
now
and
euermore
.
Amen
.
The
loue
of
the
world
and
worldly
desires
,
banish
all
true
loue
of
God
from
the
soule
.
HEE
that
suffereth
any
wordlie
desires
,
or
the
inordinate
affection
of
any
earthly
thing
whatsoeuer
to
take
place
in
his
heart
,
cannot
loue
God
sincerely
,
entirely
,
and
vnfainedly
;
yea
the
more
the
desire
of
his
heart
is
inlarged
vnto
the
affecting
of
those
things
,
the
more
is
the
loue
of
God
abated
and
diminished
in
him
;
as
much
as
the
one
increaseth
,
so
much
the
other
of
necessitie
must
decrease
.
O
Lord
,
who
hast
manifested
thy
loue
so
richly
towards
me
,
fill
my
heart
daily
more
and
more
with
the
loue
of
thy
maiestie
;
let
the
same
whollie
possesse
me
:
For
this
end
,
suffer
me
not
to
be
intangled
at
any
time
with
the
inordinate
desire
of
any
of
these
fading
and
fruitlesse
vanities
;
but
free
me
,
I
beseech
thee
,
from
the
sinful
and
immoderate
affecting
thereof
;
yea
purge
my
heart
,
and
banish
farre
from
me
the
loue
of
al
those
things
,
which
might
be
a
meanes
in
any
sort
to
alienate
my
minde
from
thee
,
and
grant
that
my
soule
may
delight
in
thee
,
and
that
I
may
loue
thee
with
my
whole
heart
,
yea
that
the
affection
of
my
loue
may
bee
set
and
fixed
vpon
thee
alone
,
who
only
art
worthie
to
bee
loued
aboue
all
things
;
and
that
if
I
loue
or
affect
any
thing
else
,
it
may
not
bee
otherwise
then
in
thee
,
and
for
thee
,
vnto
whom
I
am
desirous
to
giue
my
heart
with
all
the
affections
thereof
.
The
sinfulnes
of
mans
nature
corrupted
.
O
Lord
,
what
a
fountaine
of
corruption
do
I
see
continually
,
springing
vp
within
me
?
and
how
much
more
doth
there
abound
in
me
,
which
beeing
hid
from
mine
eyes
is
seene
onely
of
thee
,
who
alone
knowest
the
heart
,
and
beholdest
the
inward
and
most
hidden
secrets
thereof
,
which
the
eye
of
man
cannot
pierce
into
.
Doe
thou
vouchsafe
to
clense
it
daily
more
&
more
:
Powre
downe
plentifully
that
cleane
water
of
thy
sanctifying
grace
,
which
may
wash
away
that
filthines
,
euen
those
staines
and
pollutions
wherewith
I
am
defiled
,
and
which
beeing
lothesome
in
mine
owne
eyes
,
cannot
but
be
as
an
abomination
before
thee
,
who
art
so
pure
,
that
thou
canst
not
see
euill
,
nor
behold
wickednesse
.
O
let
thy
spirit
purge
and
purifie
my
soule
from
that
inbred
corruption
and
contagion
thereof
,
which
cleaueth
so
fast
vnto
it
;
yea
let
it
be
as
fire
to
drie
vp
those
polluted
streames
,
which
flow
continually
from
that
vncleane
fountaine
;
that
so
I
may
be
found
of
thee
without
spot
,
and
blamelesse
,
in
the
day
of
that
glorious
appearance
of
thy
sonne
my
blessed
sauiour
and
redeemer
;
in
whom
though
I
see
him
not
,
yet
doe
I
beleeue
,
and
reioyce
with
ioy
vnspeakeable
and
glorious
.
Blindnes
of
minde
,
a
great
miserie
.
IF
any
want
the
eyes
of
their
bodies
,
they
account
it
a
greate
miserie
,
and
would
vse
any
meanes
,
be
at
any
cost
,
to
enioy
the
comfort
and
benefite
of
their
sight
.
And
yet
most
want
the
eyes
of
their
soules
,
and
thinke
it
to
be
no
miserie
;
neither
regard
,
nor
seeke
once
for
that
wherein
the
comfort
of
their
liues
consisteth
,
and
whereby
they
should
come
to
see
the
light
of
glory
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
O
Lord
,
though
others
be
wilfully
blinde
,
and
so
most
miserable
,
whiles
they
see
it
not
,
yet
open
thou
mine
eyes
euer
more
and
more
:
Suffer
not
sinne
with
the
deceitfulnes
thereof
to
drawe
any
filme
ouer
them
;
but
giue
me
daily
a
clearer
sight
of
mine
owne
miserie
,
and
of
thy
vnspeakeable
mercies
towards
mee
,
who
am
vnworthie
of
the
least
of
them
.
Hardnes
of
heart
a
fearefull
plague
.
THere
can
no
worse
plague
happen
vnto
any
one
,
then
a
harde
and
obdurate
heart
;
and
yet
alas
,
how
fewe
be
there
that
complaine
of
it
,
although
they
be
farre
gone
with
it
!
How
fewe
,
that
seeke
to
be
thoroughly
recouered
of
it
,
although
they
haue
present
meanes
continually
offered
vnto
them
,
for
the
cure
of
it
!
Oh
they
know
not
the
danger
of
it
;
or
if
they
doe
,
and
seeke
not
carefullie
for
the
remedie
,
surely
they
are
exceeding
desperate
of
their
estate
.
Good
Lord
,
breake
thou
this
stony
heart
of
mine
,
I
humbly
pray
thee
:
Giue
me
to
see
,
and
to
grieue
daily
more
and
more
for
the
hardnes
of
it
,
and
neuer
to
sleepe
in
rest
,
till
I
feele
it
softned
and
mollified
,
yea
till
I
be
cured
and
altogether
recouered
of
it
.
Howsoeuer
it
shall
please
thee
outwardly
to
afflict
me
for
my
good
,
yet
Lord
keepe
me
alwaies
,
I
beseech
thee
,
from
that
inward
,
spirituall
and
most
fearefull
iudgement
,
which
thou
vsest
to
send
vppon
the
reprobate
,
who
beeing
past
all
feeling
,
seale
vp
vnto
themselues
thereby
the
assurance
of
eternall
perdition
.
Feare
of
God
.
I
Haue
oft
wondered
to
see
,
in
what
awe
most
stand
of
mortall
men
,
who
haue
power
of
their
goods
,
life
,
or
outward
estate
;
how
carefull
they
are
to
please
them
,
how
affraid
to
offend
them
:
and
yet
in
the
meane
while
,
how
regardlesse
they
are
,
and
shew
themselues
to
be
,
of
that
great
,
that
powerfull
and
immortall
God
,
whose
name
is
terrible
;
yea
,
who
is
able
presently
to
cast
them
both
soule
and
bodie
,
into
hell
for
euer
,
there
to
haue
their
portion
among
the
damned
.
Either
men
are
Atheists
,
and
thinke
there
is
no
God
(
for
they
that
beleeue
that
there
is
a
God
,
can
not
but
know
,
that
his
power
is
infinite
,
and
therefore
must
needes
feare
him
more
then
any
man
,
whose
power
is
but
finite
,
when
it
is
greatest
:
)
Or
else
they
are
maruellous
desperat
,
who
though
they
know
and
will
acknowledge
the
power
,
and
the
fiercenes
of
his
wrath
,
yet
feare
not
the
punishment
,
and
the
horrible
torments
which
he
hath
threatned
against
them
.
O
Lord
,
let
me
not
be
either
so
blinded
,
or
so
hard-hearted
,
as
the
wicked
and
vngodly
are
.
Let
me
alwaies
feare
before
thee
,
and
tremble
at
thy
presence
,
standing
continually
in
awe
of
so
great
,
and
glorious
a
maiestie
,
which
the
Angels
adore
,
and
reuerence
.
And
let
this
feare
of
thee
and
thy
righteous
iudgements
,
banish
and
driue
out
of
my
heart
,
the
loue
of
all
sinne
,
so
that
I
may
not
once
dare
willingly
to
commit
the
same
,
though
I
might
thereby
gaine
the
whole
world
.
Yea
Lord
,
doe
thou
plant
thy
feare
in
my
heart
;
let
it
possesse
my
soule
,
and
then
it
can
not
be
,
but
that
I
should
seeke
in
all
things
to
please
thee
more
then
men
,
and
feare
to
offend
thee
in
any
thing
,
not
fearing
the
feare
of
those
that
bee
thine
enemies
,
and
hate
thee
.
Feare
of
God
speaking
in
his
word
.
MEn
we
see
oft
times
are
stricken
and
amazed
at
the
sudden
noise
of
a
great
thunder-clap
;
they
tremble
and
quake
:
yea
this
causeth
many
,
with
the
Heathenish
Emperour
to
seeke
for
couert
,
and
to
hide
and
shroud
themselues
for
feare
.
And
yet
behold
,
such
is
the
corruption
of
mans
nature
;
such
is
their
stupiditie
,
that
although
they
heare
daily
a
greater
,
&
more
dreadfull
noise
,
euen
the
mightie
and
terrible
voice
of
God
which
soundeth
in
his
word
,
and
whereby
he
threatneth
them
in
most
fearefull
manner
,
not
only
with
temporall
iudgement
,
but
also
with
eternall
perdition
and
destruction
,
yet
they
are
scarce
once
moued
;
they
feare
not
;
they
doe
not
quake
and
tremble
,
but
sooth
vp
themselues
in
the
wickednesse
of
their
hearts
,
and
blesse
themselues
in
their
sinfull
and
vngodlie
waies
,
thinking
that
al
is
well
,
and
dreaming
of
nothing
but
of
peace
and
safetie
,
when
thir
confusion
is
neerest
,
and
sudden
destruction
and
desolation
ready
presently
to
seize
vpon
them
.
O
let
it
be
otherwise
with
me
,
&
with
all
them
that
feare
thy
name
O
Lord
;
let
me
be
touched
,
&
rightly
affected
with
the
consideration
of
thy
great
and
glorious
maiestie
,
when
I
behold
thy
wondrous
and
maruellous
workes
,
how
thou
casts
forth
thy
lightnings
vnto
the
ends
of
the
world
,
and
thundrest
from
heauen
with
a
mightie
voice
;
at
the
noise
whereof
,
euen
the
bruit
beasts
,
and
dumbe
creatures
,
doe
quake
and
tremble
for
feare
.
Let
these
things
cause
me
,
to
acknowledge
the
greatnes
of
thy
power
,
to
stand
in
a
holie
and
awfull
reuerence
of
thy
presence
,
and
to
giue
glorie
vnto
thy
name
,
who
art
the
mightie
and
glorious
God
of
heauen
and
earth
:
but
let
me
be
much
more
moued
,
and
inwardly
affected
,
when
I
heare
the
voice
of
that
mightie
and
powerfull
Word
of
thine
,
which
goeth
out
of
thy
mouth
,
and
which
thou
causest
to
sound
in
mine
eares
,
by
the
ministerie
of
men
whom
thou
hast
ordained
;
and
in
and
by
whom
thou
speakest
both
to
the
eares
,
and
to
the
hearts
of
men
.
O
let
this
word
of
thine
,
which
in
it selfe
is
mightie
in
operation
,
and
whereby
,
through
the
working
of
thy
spirit
,
thou
doest
maruellous
things
;
let
it
strike
and
break
in
sunder
this
hard
and
stonie
heart
of
mine
:
let
●r
cause
me
to
tremble
at
the
hearing
of
it
,
yea
euen
to
fall
downe
before
thee
,
and
to
adore
thy
maiestie
,
to
be
afraid
of
thy
displeasure
,
and
to
serue
thee
with
an
humble
,
and
with
a
contrite
heart
all
my
daies
:
Then
according
vnto
thy
promise
,
thou
wilt
looke
mercifully
vpon
me
,
thou
wilt
deale
exceedingly
graciously
with
me
;
yea
though
heauen
be
thy
throne
,
and
the
earth
thy
footstoole
,
yet
thou
wilt
vouchsafe
to
dwell
with
me
,
by
the
comfortable
presence
of
thy
grace
,
and
blessed
spirit
for
euermore
.
Knowledge
and
conscience
must
goe
togther
.
MAny
labour
for
knowledge
,
few
for
conscience
to
practise
those
things
which
they
know

Such
knowledge
is
vaine
,
and
bringeth
no
profit
to
him
that
hath
it
.
●●e
what
if
thou
couldest
repeate
all
the
most
pithie
sentences
of
the
wisest
and
grauest
Philosophers
,
and
the
greatest
Sages
that
euer
were
?
it
were
nothing
.
Yea
what
if
thou
couldest
say
ouer
the
whole
Bible
without
book
,
and
with
the
superstitious
Iew
,
tell
exactly
how

so
that
al
that

All

for

of
those

which
thou

then
for

without

Giue
me

O

,
as
to
vse
all
good

to
attaine
vnto
all
kinde
of

which
is

the

Another

IT
is
not
without
cause
,
that
the
Scriptures
make
the
heart
the
seate
of
truth
,
sinceritie
and
vprightnes
,
and
not
the
head
,
seeing
the
heart
is
the
seate
and
subiect
of
the
affections
;
the
braine
of
knowledge
,
vnderstanding
&
iudgment
.
A
man
may
know
and
vnderstand
much
,
and
yet
be
very
ill
affected
;
he
may
be
of
a
large
capacitie
,
and
of
a
very
deepe
apprehension
,
euen
of
the
greatest
mysteries
of
Christian
religion
,
and
yet
be
of
an
exceeding
corrupt
minde
,
and
of
a
most
vnsound
life
.
Knowledge
is
good
,
and
to
be
desired
,
and
sought
for
,
and
that
with
diligence
;
but
yet
good
affection
must
be
ioyned
with
it
,
and
increased
by
it
;
or
else
it
will
not
bee
profitable
,
but
hurtfull
and
dangerous
,
making
the
owner
of
it
rather
worse
then
better
.
It
is
a
good
thing
to
know
much
;
but
it
is
better
,
and
more
acceptable
to
God
,
to
affect
the
good
things
wee
know
,
that
wee
might
practise
them
,
and
to
dislike
the
euill
we
know
,
that
wee
might
shunne
and
auoid
them
.
God
euer
loued
and
delighted
more
in
the
truth
and
sinceritie
of
the
heart
,
then
in
the
bare
speculation
,
and
fruitlesse
apprehensions
of
the
minde
and
vnderstanding
part
.
Let
it
be
my
desire
,
O
Lord
,
my
care
and
my
earnest
endeuour
,
rather
to
liue
well
then
to
know
much
:
let
me
labour
for
both
,
since
both
are
necessarie
;
yet
alwaies
preferre
this
before
the
other
,
seeing
that
without
this
,
is
least
profitable
,
and
more
dangerous
(
not
of
it selfe
,
but
through
the
fault
of
him
that
vseth
it
amisse
)
making
the
life
more
corrupt
,
and
bringing
with
it
the
greater
condemnation
in
the
end
.
The
worldly
mans
Idoll
.
THat
which
euerie
one
most
setteth
his
heart
vpon
,
that
doth
hee
make
his
God
,
yea
rather
his
Idol
.
Thus
the
God
of
the
couetous
is
riches
,
euen
that
cursed
Mammon
:
The
God
of
the
voluptuous
,
pleasure
:
of
the
ambitious
,
honour
.
O
then
how
many
vile
and
wicked
Idolaters
bee
there
in
the
world
?
Surely
,
as
many
as
doe
giue
themselues
ouer
to
couetousnesse
,
ambition
,
and
voluptuousnes
,
euen
the
excessiue
and
inordinate
desire
of
the
vaine
and
transitorie
things
of
this
world
.
O
Lord
God
,
thou
only
art
my
God
;
whom
haue
I
in
heauen
but
thee
?
or
what
is
there
that
I
should
desire
on
earth
,
in
comparison
of
thee
?
O
let
my
hart
be
alwaies
fixed
vpon
thee
;
let
my
soule
loue
thee
,
delight
in
thee
,
&
seeke
and
long
after
thee
,
aboue
all
things
;
which
is
that
inward
and
spiritual
worship
and
seruice
,
which
thou
requirest
of
all
those
vpon
whom
thy
name
is
called
,
of
all
those
that
acknowledge
thee
,
the
Lord
,
to
be
their
God
.
The
miserable
estate
of
a
worldling
.
HE
that
doth
once
imbrace
this
world
,
can
hardly
be
loosed
from
it
,
and
brought
to
follow
Christ
and
to
cleaue
vnto
true
religion
,
in
the
trueth
and
sinceritie
of
the
profession
thereof
;
yea
such
is
the
bewitching
nature
of
it
,
that
it
will
daily
more
and
more
fasten
vpon
him
,
and
claspe
round
about
him
,
so
that
he
shall
haue
no
power
to
free
himselfe
againe
,
except
an
extraordinarie
grace
be
ministred
vnto
him
of
God
.
Of
all
men
(
of
whom
there
may
be
any
hope
)
a
couetous
worldling
is
in
this
regard
most
miserable
,
and
his
estate
most
dangerous
;
since
that
it
is
harder
for
him
to
be
reclaimed
,
then
for
any
other
;
for
of
all
sinnes
,
(
out
of
which
there
may
be
any
recouery
)
that
sinne
of
auarice
and
couetousnes
is
most
irrecouerable
.
O
blessed
Lord
,
let
not
my
heart
be
glewed
at
any
time
vnto
the
things
of
this
world
;
Let
not
the
immoderate
care
and
desire
thereof
,
take
hold
of
me
,
let
it
not
be
rooted
in
me
;
but
let
me
alwaies
enioy
such
freedome
by
thy
grace
that
I
may
willingly
,
readily
and
cheerefully
performe
those
duties
which
thou
requirest
of
me
;
yea
that
I
may
cleaue
fast
vnto
thee
,
and
runne
with
libertie
,
the
waies
of
thy
commandements
.
The
vnpleasant
and
distracted
life
of
a
carnall
and
wicked
man
.
WHat
pleasure
is
there
in
the
life
of
a
carnall
and
wicked
man
,
who
is
carried
away
with
the
vaine
and
inordinate
desires
of
his
owne
heart
?
Before
he
hath
obtained
that
which
he
lusts
after
,
he
is
restles
and
vnquiet
;
All
that
he
had
before
doth
him
no
good
,
because
hee
wants
that
:
when
he
enioyes
it
,
he
is
grieued
&
displeased
,
yea
vexed
,
because
it
doth
not
satisfie
him
,
nor
yeeld
him
that
contentment
,
which
he
looked
for
in
it
.
Afterwards
,
he
is
perplexed
and
troubled
in
minde
,
by
reason
of
the
guilt
which
he
hath
brought
vpon
his
conscience
,
through
his
sinne
;
the
sweetest
fruite
whereof
in
the
ende
,
is
nothing
but
shame
and
sorrow
,
yea
much
bitternes
.
Thus
he
is
continually
disquieted
,
discontented
,
and
distracted
,
whiles
he
followeth
his
vnlawfull
desires
,
and
yeeldeth
to
his
disordered
and
distempred
affections
;
he
hath
no
peace
,
no
ease
,
no
rest
.
Witnes
the
proud
person
,
the
couetous
,
the
voluptuous
,
the
ambitious
,
the
enuious
and
malitious
,
and
whosoeuer
else
he
be
,
that
letteth
loose
the
raines
to
any
vnbridled
passion
,
any
inordinate
affection
.
It
is
a
meere
slauery
,
to
be
a
seruant
vnto
any
such
lusts
;
&
the
onely
meanes
to
obtaine
true
libertie
,
hearts
ease
,
peace
and
sound
contentement
,
to
resist
them
,
and
to
get
the
mastrie
ouer
them
,
and
to
be
no
wayes
bound
to
them
.
O
mercifull
Lord
,
let
me
not
be
addicted
to
these
things
,
which
are
base
,
earthly
and
sensuall
:
let
me
neuer
willingly
yield
vnto
any
sinfull
desire
of
my
corrupt
nature
;
but
giue
me
grace
alwaies
to
bridle
,
yea
to
subdue
,
and
to
mortifie
those
wicked
affections
,
which
otherwise
would
preuaile
against
me
;
that
so
beeing
ouermastered
,
and
euen
brought
into
subiection
vnder
me
,
through
the
working
of
thy
gracious
spirit
in
me
,
I
may
passe
the
whole
time
of
my
life
hereafter
,
in
rest
,
quietnes
and
true
peace
and
contentednes
,
and
serue
thee
,
with
perfect
libertie
and
freedome
all
my
daies
.
The
life
of
the
righteous
as
well
to
be
sought
after
,
as
their
death
wished
.
I
Marueile
not
that
all
men
(
euen
the
most
wicked
and
prophane
of
the
world
)
do
,
with
cursed
Balaam
,
desire
and
wish
for
the
death
of
the
righteous
,
seeing
the
end
of
it
,
is
true
and
perfect
blessednes
,
and
the
want
of
it
,
extreame
woe
and
miserie
.
But
this
seemes
very
strange
vnto
me
,
that
they
should
not
as
well
desire
the
life
of
the
righteous
:
not
onely
,
because
this
is
the
meanes
to
come
vnto
the
other
,
that
necessarily
depending
hereupon
;
but
also
since
herein
is
true
happines
to
be
found
,
and
that
which
is
to
be
desired
of
all
men
,
and
without
which
,
man
cannot
but
be
miserable
,
and
euen
a
burthen
vnto
himselfe
.
For
the
righteous
,
the
sincere
and
vpright
in
life
and
conuersation
,
they
onely
leade
a
peaceable
,
a
comfortable
,
and
a
ioyfull
life
.
They
reioyce
not
so
much
in
the
face
,
as
in
heart
;
not
so
much
to
the
teeth
outwardly
,
as
in
soule
,
and
spirit
inwardly
:
whereas
the
hypocrite
,
the
false
hearted
,
and
all
that
loue
vnrighteousnes
,
neuer
haue
any
true
mirth
,
any
sound
ioy
,
but
only
a
false
&
counterfeit
image
thereof
,
which
when
it
is
at
the
best
,
is
but
hollow
,
rotten
,
and
vnsound
;
yea
when
they
sport
themselues
in
their
carnall
and
worldly
delights
most
immoderatly
,
and
break
foorth
into
excessiue
laughter
,
yet
then
their
ioy
is
but
the
fit
,
as
it
were
,
of
a
frantick
or
mad
man
,
they
know
not
what
they
doe
;
and
at
length
,
their
sorrowfull
dumpes
,
their
troubled
thoughts
,
and
distracting
cares
,
returne
againe
vnto
them
vnsent
for
,
they
break
off
their
laughter
with
a
sigh
,
and
end
their
mirth
with
heauinesse
,
anguish
and
great
perplexednes
:
yea
the
Lord
filleth
their
soules
with
much
bitternes
;
so
that
many
times
to
bee
eased
of
it
,
they
could
willingly
be
rid
of
their
liues
,
in
which
they
finde
so
small
comfort
.
Lord
,
let
me
be
as
carefull
to
leade
a
good
life
,
as
to
make
a
godly
end
:
let
me
hate
all
vnrighteousnesse
,
and
forsake
all
the
waies
of
the
vngodly
;
and
let
me
seek
by
all
meanes
to
attaine
vnto
true
holinesse
,
and
striue
after
sinceritie
and
vprightnes
;
that
so
the
spirit
of
ioy
and
gladnesse
may
rest
continually
vpon
me
,
and
cause
me
alwaies
to
reioyce
vnfainedly
in
thee
,
with
that
inward
spiritual
ioy
and
comfort
,
the
sweetnes
whereof
none
knoweth
but
thine
only
,
euen
those
whom
thou
hast
giuen
to
taste
of
it
;
and
which
being
once
giuen
of
thee
(
from
whom
alone
it
proceedeth
)
none
is
able
to
take
it
away
againe
.
The
follie
and
danger
of
deferring
Repentance
.
IT
is
exceeding
follie
in
men
to
liue
carelesly
and
securely
,
all
their
life
long
,
and
to
put
off
all
,
vnto
their
dying
houre
,
vainly
supposing
,
that
it
will
be
enough
for
them
,
then
to
commend
themselues
vnto
God
,
and
to
desire
him
to
take
them
to
his
mercie
.
Alas
,
such
know
not
what
they
doe
;
they
know
not
the
price
of
their
soules
:
for
surely
if
they
did
,
they
would
neuer
put
them
in
aduenture
to
the
last
houre
:
They
consider
not
the
danger
of
losing
them
for
euer
;
for
then
certainely
they
would
quickly
be
of
an
other
mind
;
they
would
look
about
them
;
they
would
not
set
all
vpon
such
a
ticklish
point
,
nor
put
themselues
vnto
that
hazard
,
no
not
for
the
gaine
of
the
whole
world
;
but
they
would
presently
cut
off
all
delaies
(
which
in
good
things
are
alwaies
exceeding
dangerous
)
and
seeke
diligently
by
all
meanes
to
leade
their
liues
in
that
manner
,
and
so
to
secure
their
estate
,
that
in
death
they
might
haue
assurance
that
they
should
not
die
,
but
liue
,
hauing
their
soules
translated
and
carried
(
though
not
by
firie
chariots
,
as
Elias
was
,
yet
by
the
hands
of
those
heauenlie
Angels
,
which
continually
waite
and
attend
vpon
them
)
from
earth
to
heauen
,
from
this
vale
of
miserie
,
to
that
place
of
endlesse
glorie
and
happinesse
.
O
Lord
keepe
me
from
that
extreame
follie
and
simplicitie
of
the
wicked
,
whom
Satan
hath
so
deceiued
and
deluded
,
that
they
should
be
carelesse
of
that
which
most
neerly
concernes
them
,
euen
their
future
and
eternall
estate
after
this
life
,
which
depends
vpon
the
course
of
their
life
lead
in
this
world
,
which
is
short
and
momentarie
.
Let
it
bee
my
care
and
endeuour
euery
day
to
seeke
by
a
holy
conuersation
,
to
be
assured
of
the
certaintie
of
my
election
,
and
of
my
blessed
and
happie
estate
after
this
life
,
euen
my
future
glorification
in
thy
kingdom
;
that
so
I
may
be
alwaies
prepared
,
and
rest
continually
in
a
ioyfull
hope
and
expectation
of
the
accomplishment
and
fulfilling
of
thy
gratious
promise
.
Freewill
.
IT
is
a
vaine
thing
to
thinke
that
a
man
hath
freewill
vnto
that
which
is
good
:
As
well
maist
thou
perswade
me
,
that
a
stone
can
moue
it selfe
,
or
that
a
dead
bodie
can
raise
it selfe
out
of
the
graue
.
Except
the
Lord
put
to
his
hand
,
wee
can
neuer
moue
our selues
,
no
not
to
one
good
motion
,
one
good
thought
or
desire
,
much
lesse
giue
our selues
to
the
constant
practise
of
that
which
is
good
.
Except
the
Lord
put
new
life
into
vs
,
except
he
quicken
vs
with
his
spirit
,
we
are
al
but
dead
men
,
and
shall
lie
in
our
graues
vntill
we
be
awaked
vnto
iudgement
.
O
Lord
(
the
fountaine
of
grace
and
life
)
doe
thou
quicken
me
,
so
shall
I
liue
;
do
thou
lift
me
vp
,
so
shall
I
rise
out
of
the
graue
of
sinne
and
death
:
Doe
thou
draw
me
,
so
shall
I
come
vnto
thee
,
yea
so
shall
I
euen
runne
with
libertie
in
all
the
waies
of
thy
commandements
.
Heare
me
,
O
Lord
,
and
help
me
,
for
in
thee
doe
I
trust
,
in
whom
onely
I
liue
,
moue
,
and
haue
my
being
,
and
without
whom
all
my
life
is
but
death
.
Without
thee
I
can
doe
nothing
:
In
thee
,
and
by
thee
all
things
.
What
worship
God
especially
requireth
.
MAny
performe
outward
worship
and
seruice
vnto
God
;
few
that
which
is
in●ard
.
Both
are
required
,
but
the
latter
is
chiefly
necessarie
,
without
which
,
the
former
though
commanded
,
is
neither
pleasing
nor
acceptable
,
yea
vile
and
abominable
vnto
him
,
that
hath
alwaies
loathed
such
dead
carcases
,
such
liuelesse
sacrifices
.
Lord
,
giue
me
grace
alwaies
to
offer
vnto
thee
a
whole
burnt
offering
,
to
serue
thee
as
in
bodie
,
which
thou
hast
made
for
that
end
,
so
especially
in
spirit
and
in
truth
;
so
shall
I
not
bee
reproued
,
yea
then
thou
wilt
accept
both
of
me
,
and
of
all
my
sacrifices
,
and
be
exceeding
gracious
and
mercifull
vnto
me
,
aboue
that
I
can
expect
or
desire
.
Christians
are
willingly
to
resigne
themselues
,
and
all
that
they
enioy
,
to
Gods
will
.
ALL
those
things
which
wee
enioy
in
this
world
,
are
not
our
owne
,
but
Gods
:
he
gaue
them
to
vs
to
vse
,
and
at
his
pleasure
he
may
call
for
them
,
and
cause
vs
to
restore
them
to
him
againe
,
since
he
alone
hath
absolute
right
and
interest
in
them
.
Whiles
wee
haue
them
,
wee
are
to
haue
a
care
to
vse
them
well
,
and
not
to
neglect
them
,
or
to
bee
regardlesse
of
them
.
We
ought
to
vse
them
,
and
yet
not
so
to
vse
them
,
as
if
they
were
our
own
,
but
lent
vnto
vs
by
another
,
of
whom
we
haue
receiued
them
.
When
hee
taketh
them
from
vs
,
we
are
willingly
to
restore
them
,
and
readily
without
any
murmuring
or
repining
to
part
with
them
,
sith
they
were
but
lent
vnto
vs
for
a
time
,
for
our
conuenient
or
necessarie
vse
,
and
are
now
called
for
againe
by
the
right
owner
of
them
;
so
that
to
bee
vnwilling
to
returne
them
at
his
commaund
,
is
not
,
neither
ought
to
bee
otherwise
esteemed
of
vs
,
then
as
the
vsurping
or
violent
detaining
of
another
mans
goods
against
his
will
and
pleasure
;
euen
theft
and
robberie
against
the
highest
.
What
meaneth
it
them
,
that
many
are
so
loth
to
restore
the
things
,
which
God
hath
giuen
them
the
vse
of
for
a
while
,
and
now
requireth
of
them
againe
?
What
meanes
it
,
that
many
are
so
grieued
to
part
with
those
things
which
the
Lord
hath
lent
them
,
vntil
such
time
as
he
should
call
for
them
?
Yea
,
why
is
it
that
many
complaine
so
grieuously
,
as
if
they
were
greatly
iniured
,
or
had
very
hard
measure
offered
vnto
them
,
when
the
Lord
taketh
from
them
,
their
wiues
,
their
children
,
their
friends
,
their
goods
,
their
lands
,
liuings
,
or
their
life
it selfe
?
Are
they
their
owne
,
and
not
Gods
?
Why
then
should
they
sinne
against
him
,
by
repining
that
they
cannot
keepe
them
against
his
will
?
Hath
he
giuen
vnto
them
the
vse
of
them
thus
long
,
&
doth
he
now
call
for
them
,
and
require
them
againe
of
them
?
Why
then
should
they
not
with
al
willingnes
,
and
thankfulnes
restore
them
,
acknowledging
themselues
much
indebted
vnto
him
for
the
fruition
of
them
,
and
the
benefit
they
haue
receiued
by
them
hitherto
.
O
Lord
,
thou
hast
freely
and
most
graciouslie
vouchsafed
many
blessings
,
and
benefits
vnto
me
,
euen
in
the
things
of
this
world
,
the
least
whereof
I
am
altogether
vnworthie
of
;
thou
hast
giuen
me
life
&
health
,
friends
,
and
a
competencie
of
these
earthly
things
,
which
in
wisedome
thou
sawest
to
bee
conuenient
for
me
;
thou
art
the
author
and
giuer
of
them
,
as
of
all
other
things
which
are
good
.
Whiles
it
pleaseth
thee
to
continue
them
vnto
me
for
my
vse
,
giue
me
grace
to
vse
them
soberly
in
a
sanctified
manner
,
so
as
may
be
most
for
thy
glorie
,
and
my
comfort
,
both
here
and
hereafter
;
when
it
shall
please
thee
to
take
them
away
from
me
,
and
to
depriue
me
either
of
any
,
or
of
all
of
them
,
grant
that
I
may
with
a
willing
minde
,
and
with
a
thankfull
heart
,
returne
them
againe
vnto
thee
,
saying
with
that
faithfull
and
constant
seruant
of
thine
,
whom
thou
hast
made
a
paterne
and
president
vnto
me
:
Naked
came
I
out
of
my
mothers
wombe
,
and
naked
shall
I
returne
thither
(
euen
into
the
bellie
of
the
earth
,
which
is
the
mother
of
vs
all
)
:
the
Lord
hath
giuen
,
and
the
Lord
hath
taken
it
:
blessed
be
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
Forgiuing
of
others
,
how
necessary
for
all
men
.
HE
can
neuer
truely
,
and
freely
forgiue
those
that
offend
and
iniurie
him
,
that
hath
not
first
tasted
of
the
infinite
loue
and
fauour
of
God
in
Christ
towards
him
,
in
the
forgiuenes
of
those
manifold
sinnes
,
and
innumerable
and
most
grieuous
offences
whereby
he
hath
displeased
and
prouoked
him
.
But
he
that
hath
a
true
apprehension
,
and
a
liuely
sense
and
feeling
hereof
in
his
owne
soule
,
he
cannot
but
freely
,
euen
from
his
heart
,
forgiue
others
,
as
God
for
Christs
sake
forgaue
him
.
Either
therefore
manifest
thy
loue
vnto
thy
bretheren
,
in
freely
forgiuing
and
forgetting
the
wrongs
and
iniuries
which
they
haue
done
vnto
thee
,
or
else
freely
acknowledge
and
confesse
(
as
indeed
the
truth
is
)
that
thou
neuer
as
yet
tastedst
effectually
of
the
loue
of
God
in
Christ
;
that
it
was
neuer
shed
into
thy
heart
,
and
that
thy
sinnes
are
still
vnpardoned
,
that
thou
hast
no
assurance
of
the
forgiuenes
of
them
;
which
if
thou
hast
not
,
thou
art
a
miserable
and
a
wretched
creature
,
one
that
canst
haue
small
ioy
or
comfort
of
thy
life
.
Chuse
therefore
which
of
these
seemes
best
vnto
thee
?
either
to
continue
in
this
miserie
,
and
to
be
branded
,
as
it
were
,
in
the
forehead
,
for
an
impenitent
sinner
,
one
vpon
whom
God
hath
shewed
no
mercie
,
but
is
still
vnder
the
curse
,
euen
the
most
fearefull
curse
that
can
be
,
in
a
most
comfortles
estate
:
Or
else
(
which
thou
oughtest
rather
to
desire
,
and
to
be
carefull
of
aboue
all
things
)
that
thou
hast
obtained
mercie
,
that
thou
art
in
the
loue
and
fauour
of
God
,
and
that
all
thy
sinnes
are
freely
and
fully
forgiuen
thee
,
because
thou
art
louing
and
mercifull
in
forgiuing
others
,
that
haue
sinned
against
thee
.
O
merciful
God
,
cause
me
daily
more
&
more
daily
to
see
the
exceeding
riches
of
thy
grace
,
and
to
taste
of
that
infinite
and
vnspeakeable
loue
,
and
kindnesse
of
thine
in
Christ
Iesus
so
freely
and
so
graciouslie
pardoning
and
forgiuing
vnto
me
all
my
sinnes
,
euen
that
great
debt
which
no
creature
was
able
to
make
satisfaction
vnto
thy
maiestie
for
me
,
and
those
hainous
offences
for
which
thou
mightst
haue
iustly
condemned
me
.
And
let
the
liuely
sense
and
feeling
of
that
incomprehensible
loue
and
mercie
,
which
thou
of
thy
infinite
goodnes
hast
freely
vouchsafed
vnto
me
,
cause
me
,
following
thy
example
,
to
put
on
the
bowels
of
mercie
,
euen
those
tender
affections
of
loue
and
compassion
,
that
I
may
willingly
and
freely
forgiue
all
those
that
shall
any
waies
offend
me
,
euen
as
thou
for
Christs
sake
forgauest
me
.
Hereby
I
shall
haue
a
sure
euidence
of
thy
loue
towards
me
,
and
an
infallible
signe
and
seale
,
to
certifie
and
assure
me
of
the
absolute
remission
and
forgiuenesse
of
all
my
sinnes
,
which
is
blessednes
it selfe
,
euen
the
verie
gate
which
leadeth
into
heauen
,
vnto
that
glorie
and
saluation
,
which
thy
Saints
hope
for
,
and
whereof
hauing
giuen
them
the
first
fruits
here
,
thou
wilt
giue
them
the
full
possession
hereafter
in
thy
kingdome
for
euer
.
A
comfort
for
such
,
as
are
vniustly
slaundered
of
the
wicked
.
A
Good
man
that
is
vniustly
slandered
and
reuiled
,
or
any
waies
wronged
of
the
wicked
,
hath
many
things
to
stay
his
minde
,
to
comfort
him
,
and
to
cause
him
not
to
bee
moued
,
or
disquieted
,
but
rather
to
be
glad
and
ioyfull
.
First
,
he
is
thereby
made
conformable
vnto
Christ
,
vpon
whom
the
rebukes
of
many
were
laid
,
and
who
was
more
vniustly
wronged
and
disgraced
,
and
more
shamefully
vsed
,
then
he
either
is
or
can
be
.
Againe
,
he
suffers
it
of
euill
and
wicked
men
,
who
alwaies
hate
them
most
,
who
God
loueth
best
;
and
hereby
hath
an
argument
of
Gods
speciall
loue
and
fauour
to
him
.
And
he
doth
not
onely
suffer
it
of
those
which
are
euill
,
but
also
for
that
which
is
good
,
euen
for
his
goodnes
&
for
righteousnes
sake
,
yea
for
Christes
sake
,
for
Gods
sake
,
whom
thereby
they
chiefly
dishonour
,
and
who
will
surely
therefore
take
vengeance
of
them
,
but
recompence
him
with
a
greater
measure
of
glorie
.
O
Lord
,
though
the
wicked
of
this
world
studie
how
they
may
vexe
and
molest
me
,
whiles
they
imagine
lies
,
and
speake
al
manner
of
euill
in
most
malitious
,
disdainfull
,
and
despightfull
manner
against
me
;
yea
hate
and
persecute
mee
without
a
cause
,
as
they
haue
done
thy
seruants
heretofore
,
nay
thine
owne
sonne
,
whom
thou
in
loue
to
mankind
didst
send
out
of
thy
bosome
;
yet
let
not
me
bee
discouraged
at
any
time
therewith
,
but
rather
looking
vnto
the
author
and
finisher
of
my
faith
,
euen
Christ
Iesus
,
who
endured
such
speaking
against
of
sinners
,
let
me
suffer
with
patience
the
euill
which
they
speake
of
me
falsely
,
&
hauing
not
only
mine
owne
conscience
,
but
thee
also
(
who
art
priuie
to
all
my
actions
,
yea
knowest
all
things
,
and
wilt
iudge
vprightly
)
a
witnes
of
my
cleerenes
and
innocencie
in
those
things
which
they
would
cause
to
cleaue
vnto
me
,
let
me
despise
their
shame
,
and
bee
most
ioyfull
when
they
seeke
most
to
oppresse
me
,
and
to
cast
me
downe
with
ouermuch
sorrow
,
anguish
and
heauinesse
,
knowing
assuredly
that
the
shame
which
they
would
cast
vpon
me
,
shall
turne
to
my
greater
glorie
.
Compassion
towards
others
in
their
griefes
.
WE
should
be
affected
with
the
miseries
of
others
,
as
with
our
owne
;
and
haue
a
sense
and
a
feeling
of
those
things
which
are
grieuous
vnto
them
,
as
much
as
if
the
same
were
our
griefe
,
as
it
is
theirs
;
or
the
same
burthen
lay
vpon
vs
,
that
doth
vpon
them
.
This
is
that
which
God
hath
commanded
,
and
which
all
of
vs
must
frame
our selues
vnto
,
if
we
will
not
be
guiltie
of
sinne
,
both
against
God
,
and
our
neighbour
.
But
,
alas
,
such
is
the
weaknes
&
feeblenes
of
mans
nature
,
that
few
or
none
are
thus
indifferently
affected
towards
themselues
,
and
others
;
yea
,
most
do
little
regard
the
euill
which
presseth
others
,
and
lieth
heauie
vpon
them
;
whereas
if
the
same
,
or
a
lesser
be
laid
vpon
themselues
,
they
are
sore
vexed
and
grieued
;
they
complaine
much
,
and
thinke
that
none
can
bee
compassionate
enough
towards
them
.
Good
Lord
,
I
beseech
thee
,
to
heale
me
of
this
infirmitie
,
and
to
free
me
from
this
corruption
.
Grant
that
I
may
haue
a
sympathie
and
fellow-feeling
of
the
sorrowes
and
miseries
of
others
,
as
if
they
were
mine
owne
;
let
me
alwaies
haue
a
tender
compassion
ouer
them
,
and
be
affected
vnto
them
,
in
that
maner
,
as
I
would
desire
,
if
I
were
in
their
estate
,
that
they
should
be
vnto
me
.
This
is
that
which
thy
holie
and
righteous
law
bindeth
me
vnto
,
and
which
therefore
I
desire
to
performe
,
that
so
I
may
please
thee
,
and
doe
good
vnto
my
neighbour
,
by
helping
him
to
beare
the
burthen
which
oppresseth
him
.
A
comfortable
life
,
how
to
be
obtained
.
ALL
men
are
desirous
so
to
liue
,
that
they
may
haue
ioy
and
comfort
of
their
liues
:
but
few
attaine
hereunto
.
For
either
they
know
not
the
right
way
which
leades
vnto
it
;
or
if
they
know
it
,
yet
they
●●haled
and
drawen
aside
,
either
with
t●●
violence
of
the
temptat●ons
of
Satan
,
or
the
strength
of
their
owne
corrupt
and
distempered
affections
,
to
the
seeking
of
it
elsewhere
.
They
are
in
an
error
,
and
farre
out
of
the
way
,
that
thinke
that
either
riches
,
health
,
pleasures
,
honour
,
or
any
earthly
or
worldly
thing
whatsoeuer
will
bring
them
true
,
constant
ioy
.
Nay
,
a
man
hauing
all
these
,
as
much
as
his
heart
can
wish
or
desire
,
may
bee
in
a
miserable
,
and
comfortlesse
estate
and
condition
,
full
of
grief
and
anguish
,
yea
euen
racked
as
it
were
continually
with
manifolde
vexations
and
distractions
.
The
only
way
to
liue
peaceably
,
and
ioyfully
,
is
to
leade
a
holie
,
and
a
religious
life
in
al
sinceritie
and
vprightnes
This
bringeth
with
it
that
sweete
peace
,
and
that
inward
solace
and
ioy
,
which
the
world
cannot
giue
.
O
blessed
Lord
,
the
daies
of
this
my
pilgrimage
are
few
and
euill
;
make
them
comfortable
vnto
me
,
I
humbly
pray
thee
,
by
leading
me
forward
in
the
waies
of
righteousnesse
and
true
holinesse
:
grant
that
I
may
alwaies
endeuour
my selfe
to
haue
faith
and
a
good
conscience
before
thee
,
and
before
all
men
,
and
to
walke
continually
in
simplicitie
and
godlie
purenes
,
without
al
guile
&
hypocrisie
,
that
so
my
heart
may
reioyce
in
thee
vnfainedly
,
yea
euen
be
filled
with
that
ioy
,
which
is
vnspeakable
,
and
glorious
.
How
they
are
to
liue
that
are
redeemed
by
Christ
.
IT
is
a
shame
for
the
Lords
free
man
,
to
make
himselfe
a
seruant
,
a
drudge
,
and
a
slaue
to
the
world
,
to
sinne
and
Satan
.
Hee
that
Christ
hath
redeemed
,
must
liue
like
one
set
at
libertie
,
being
alwaies
very
carefull
and
warie
that
hee
be
not
intangled
nor
ouercome
with
any
lust
,
with
any
corrupt
and
vnlawfull
affection
,
lest
thereby
he
bring
himselfe
into
that
bondage
and
seruitude
,
then
which
there
can
be
nothing
more
wretched
and
miserable
.
O
Lord
,
since
it
hath
pleased
thee
of
thy
infinite
goodnes
and
mercie
to
redeeme
me
with
so
great
a
price
,
euen
with
the
pretious
blood
of
thy
deare
Sonne
that
immaculate
Lambe
,
graunt
that
being
freed
from
that
estate
of
corruption
,
vnto
which
before
I
was
in
bondage
,
and
hauing
escaped
from
the
filthinesse
of
the
world
,
wherewith
I
was
formerlie
stained
and
polluted
,
I
may
be
carefull
to
renounce
all
those
vngodly
courses
,
euen
that
vaine
conuersation
wherein
I
walked
and
delighted
,
before
I
knew
thee
and
that
sauing
grace
of
thine
,
which
thou
in
the
riches
of
thy
mercies
hast
reueiled
,
and
manifested
vnto
me
;
and
that
I
may
daily
more
and
more
labour
and
striue
after
spirituall
libertie
and
freedome
,
liuing
as
thy
seruant
,
as
thy
redeemed
one
,
and
shewing
foorth
the
vertues
of
thee
my
God
and
Sauiour
,
who
hast
called
me
out
of
darknesse
,
into
that
maruellous
light
of
thine
.
Gods
loue
and
fauour
to
be
sought
for
aboue
all
things
,
and
his
wrath
feared
.
IF
wee
bee
out
of
fauour
with
men
,
of
no
esteeme
,
no
reckoning
amongst
them
;
If
despised
,
and
disgraced
of
the
world
,
and
made
as
such
as
are
vile
,
and
of
no
reputation
:
If
wee
bee
but
in
daunger
to
lose
our
goods
,
our
riches
,
our
lands
,
and
liuing
;
or
to
haue
our
outward
estate
by
any
meanes
impaired
and
decayed
,
or
in
any
sort
diminished
:
If
any
of
our
dearest
friends
,
and
nearest
kinsfolke
,
die
and
depart
from
vs
for
a
while
;
or
if
we
our selues
be
in
any
perill
of
death
,
loe
,
then
we
are
very
sad
and
heauie
;
we
are
exceeding
pensiue
,
and
grieued
out
of
measure
,
as
though
no
greater
euill
could
befall
vs
.
But
if
we
be
cleane
out
of
the
loue
and
fauour
of
God
(
then
which
there
can
be
no
greater
miserie
)
;
if
we
be
not
regarded
of
him
,
but
are
vile
in
his
sight
,
such
as
by
reason
of
our
sinnes
hee
doth
lothe
and
abhorre
,
more
then
wee
doe
the
vgliest
and
the
loathsomest
creature
in
the
world
,
and
doth
many
waies
testifie
the
signes
of
his
hatred
,
and
the
deepe
displeasure
which
hee
hath
taken
against
vs
:
If
wee
be
in
continuall
danger
to
hazard
the
most
desireable
goods
(
which
are
better
then
all
things
,
which
this
whole
world
can
affoord
)
euen
those
pretious
things
of
God
,
wherin
onely
true
happinesse
and
felicitie
consists
.
If
wee
be
in
neuer
so
great
and
apparent
danger
and
ieopardie
,
to
lose
the
vnspeakable
riches
of
that
glorious
,
and
immortall
inheritance
,
reserued
for
the
Saints
in
that
heauenly
kingdome
,
that
celestiall
Canaan
,
the
Paradise
of
God
;
where
there
are
such
ioyes
,
such
pleasure
,
such
blessednes
,
as
the
heart
of
man
is
not
able
to
conceiue
,
or
to
comprehend
.
If
our
neerest
and
inmost
friend
,
which
resteth
continually
in
our
bosome
,
and
in
the
secretest
lodgings
of
our
hearts
,
vnto
whom
wee
professe
the
greatest
loue
and
friendship
that
may
be
;
in
briefe
,
to
whom
wee
are
ioyned
and
vnited
,
with
so
neere
and
strait
bands
,
that
it
is
death
for
vs
at
any
time
,
to
bee
seuered
,
and
separated
for
the
least
while
,
for
one
moment
;
euen
our
owne
soule
,
if
that
bee
dead
in
vs
,
whiles
it
seemeth
to
liue
;
dead
in
trespasses
and
sinnes
,
whiles
it
liueth
according
to
the
flesh
,
delighting
in
those
things
which
are
vnlawfull
;
dead
in
regard
of
the
life
of
grace
,
whiles
it
liueth
the
life
of
nature
;
yea
continuallie
in
extreame
danger
to
die
eternally
,
euen
that
second
death
,
which
of
all
euils
is
the
most
fearfull
,
&
most
wofull
,
aboue
that
any
man
doth
thinke
,
or
can
imagine
,
though
he
haue
●resented
vnto
his
minde
,
the
most
dreadfull
things
,
and
fullest
of
horror
,
that
can
possibly
enter
into
the
heart
of
man
:
yet
behold
(
such
is
the
sottishnes
of
mans
nature
)
though
wee
knowe
these
things
,
yet
wee
are
not
inwardly
touched
,
nor
moued
with
them
,
as
we
ought
to
be
;
though
we
reade
of
them
our selues
,
though
wee
heare
of
them
oft
by
others
;
yea
though
the
Lord
from
day
to
day
,
and
from
time
to
time
,
causeth
them
to
sound
in
our
eares
,
by
the
ministerie
and
preaching
of
his
word
,
in
the
mouthes
of
his
faithfull
seruants
,
whom
he
sendeth
,
and
by
the
inward
and
secret
voice
of
his
spirit
,
which
suggesteth
these
things
vnto
vs
,
yet
our
hearts
are
not
affected
with
the
consideration
of
them
;
wee
haue
almost
no
sense
,
or
feeling
of
these
euils
and
miseries
,
wee
make
no
account
of
them
,
we
are
little
,
seldome
,
or
neuer
troubled
with
the
meditation
and
remembrance
of
them
.
The
feare
and
danger
of
them
doth
not
strike
our
soules
with
griefe
and
sorrow
,
nor
make
vs
so
pensiue
and
heauy
,
as
the
feare
and
dread
of
farre
lesser
euils
doe
.
Wee
grieue
more
at
the
losse
of
the
fauour
and
countenance
of
men
,
yea
of
carnall
and
worldly
men
,
then
of
that
glorious
and
immortall
God
,
whose
louing
fauour
is
better
then
life
,
and
the
want
of
it
worse
then
death
:
we
grieue
more
at
the
losse
of
the
things
of
this
world
,
which
are
vaine
,
earthly
,
and
transitory
(
and
such
as
can
neuer
make
the
owner
of
them
trulie
blessed
and
happie
,
though
he
had
them
in
greater
abundance
,
then
his
heart
,
albeit
neuer
so
vnsatiable
,
could
desire
)
them
of
the
things
of
the
world
to
come
,
which
are
most
excellent
,
heauenly
,
and
enduring
for
euer
,
in
the
hope
and
expectation
whereof
there
is
ioy
,
and
comfort
vnspeakable
and
glorious
,
euen
whiles
they
are
not
seen
,
but
beleeued
;
and
in
the
full
fruition
and
possession
whereof
,
there
is
entire
and
absolute
felicitie
and
blessednesse
.
We
are
grieued
more
at
the
death
and
departure
of
our
friend
,
then
at
the
death
and
destruction
of
our
owne
soule
;
more
troubled
with
the
feare
of
the
losse
of
this
temporall
life
,
which
is
alwaies
fading
,
and
whereof
wee
can
haue
no
certaintie
or
assurance
,
one
houre
,
no
not
one
minute
;
then
of
that
which
is
eternall
,
and
shall
neuer
haue
an
end
,
but
continue
for
euer
,
in
such
glorie
,
the
enioying
whereof
one
moment
,
is
better
then
all
the
glorie
,
pleasures
,
and
delights
of
this
life
,
whereof
any
man
is
or
can
bee
made
partaker
in
this
world
;
yea
though
hee
liue
long
,
and
see
many
daies
,
and
wants
nothing
of
those
things
heere
below
,
which
seeme
most
pretious
and
glorious
in
the
eyes
of
men
.
What
should
I
say
more
?
We
are
more
troubled
with
the
feare
and
dread
of
our
naturall
death
,
the
death
of
our
bodies
(
which
if
our
liues
were
such
as
they
ought
to
be
,
would
be
more
desired
then
feared
of
vs
,
being
the
entrance
into
that
promised
rest
and
happinesse
)
then
of
the
death
of
our
spirits
,
yea
of
our
soules
and
bodies
,
euen
that
fearfull
&
most
dreadful
death
,
which
is
the
second
death
,
when
as
the
soule
presently
after
the
dissolution
and
separation
of
it
from
the
bodie
,
in
the
end
of
this
life
;
and
both
soule
and
bodie
,
euen
the
whole
man
immediatly
after
the
day
of
iudgement
,
hauing
receiued
their
finall
doome
,
shall
bee
deliuered
vp
vnto
eternall
death
and
condemnation
in
hell
,
where
they
shall
be
punished
with
euerlasting
perdition
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
from
the
glorie
of
his
power
.
Surely
many
such
there
be
in
al
places
,
who
haue
so
small
sense
and
feeling
of
the
greatest
euils
both
present
and
imminent
;
that
are
more
grieued
and
troubled
for
the
approching
of
some
lesser
euill
,
then
of
the
greatest
miserie
that
can
possibly
befall
a
man
;
the
very
remembrance
and
consideration
whereof
,
were
enough
to
breed
a
horror
and
astonishment
in
the
minde
of
the
hardiest
,
the
most
obstinate
,
and
impenitent
sinner
,
if
he
should
haue
a
right
apprehension
of
it
.
Oh
the
follie
of
such
men
!
who
seeth
not
how
Satan
hath
blinded
and
besotted
them
,
that
they
should
bee
as
those
,
who
haue
no
vnderstanding
,
no
discerning
of
things
that
differ
so
exceedingly
?
O
blessed
Lord
,
open
their
eyes
,
that
they
may
haue
a
sight
of
their
greatest
miseries
;
touch
their
hearts
,
that
they
may
haue
a
feeling
of
that
which
should
bee
their
greatest
griefe
,
and
wherewith
they
should
be
most
affected
:
And
keepe
thy
seruants
from
falling
at
any
time
into
that
vaine
and
foolish
opinion
,
and
imagination
of
theirs
.
Let
vs
alwaies
feare
thy
displeasure
,
more
then
the
angrie
countenance
of
any
mortall
man
whatsoeuer
;
let
vs
be
more
afraid
to
be
despised
and
reiected
of
thee
;
or
to
bee
such
as
thou
takest

to
be
disgraced

,
esteemed
the
filth
and
ofscouring
of
all

,
men
vnworthie
to

;
let
vs
chuse
rather
to
incurre
the
daunger
of
the
losse
of
our

,
and
to
bee

haue
our
outward

in

much
impaired

wasted

euen
to

rather

once
willingly
to
hazard
our

estate
in

to

by
bringing
our selues
into
daunger
of
the
losse
of
those
vnsearchable

of

glorie
,

euen
those

more
excellent
and
glorious
things
,
which
thou
hast
promised
and
prepared
for
all
thy
Saints
in
that
heauenlie
kingdome

Let
vs
not
feare
the
death
of
these
mortall
bodies
of
ours
,
which
are
but
dust
,
and
shall
returne

they
are
framed

let
not
the
remembrance
thereof
trouble

,
or
bee
any

grieuous

vnto

nay
rather
let

reioyce

that
with
an

seeing
it
shall
be

The
Lords
seruice
the
greatest
freedome
.
TO
be
in
the
Lords
seruice
is
the
greatest
freedome
,
yea
the
greatest
priuiledge
,
and
most
excellent
prerogatiue
that
men
can
attaine
vnto
in
this
world
.
It
is
a
verie
honourable
,
and
glorious
calling
;
no
earthly
dignitie
,
office
,
or
prehemencie
whatsoeuer
,
to
be
compared
vnto
it
.
The
Angells
of
heauen
those
celestiall
creatures
account
it
(
as
it
is
indeed
)
their
crowne
,
and
their
greatest
glorie
;
that
wherein
they
finde
cause
of
continuall
ioy
and
reioycing
:
Why
then
should
any
man
(
a
worme
of
the
earth
)
esteeme
so
meanly
of
it
,
(
as
many
do
)
yea
thinke
it
to
be
a
burden
which
he
is
loth
to
take
vpon
him
;
a
bondage
which
it
is
grieuous
to
him
to
vndergoe
,
yea
a
disgrace
,
and
reproch
which
he
is
vnwilling
to
sustaine
?
Oh
that
vaine
man
should
be
so
degenerate
and
base
minded
,
as
to
haue
so
meane
a●
conceite
of
that
which
he
ought
so
highly
to
prize
;
that
he
should
suppose
the
seruice
of
the
great
king
,
and
monarch
of
the
whole
world
the
most
high
God
,
(
wherein
the
most
excellent
creatures
do
glorie
)
to
be
base
and
contemptible
;
that
he
should
thinke
it
a
dishonour
,
and
disparagment
vnto
him
,
to
professe
himselfe
to
be
a
dutiful
and
obedient
seruant
vnto
the
Lord
of
heauen
,
the
mightie
possessour
of
all
things
,
(
to
whom
all
knees
are
to
bowe
,
and
whom
all
creatures
must
adore
)
when
as
he
accounteth
it
an
honour
,
and
a
grace
vnto
him
to
be
reputed
an
inferior
seruant
vnto
his
minister
,
and
vicegerent
vpon
earth
;
and
no
small
priuiledge
to
be
in
any
office
vnder
him
:
yea
that
he
should
be
such
a
miscreant
,
as
to
despise
that
,
which
if
he
were
not
strangely
blinded
,
and
extremely
besotted
,
he
would
think
himself
happie
that
he
might
haue
it
once
vouchsafed
and
granted
vnto
him
!
O
blessed
Lord
,
how
great
is
thy
goodnesse
and
thy
mercie
towards
me
,
in
that
it
hath
pleased
thee
to
take
me
into
thy
seruice
?
how
much
am
I
bound
vnto
thee
for
this
fauour
which
thou
hast
shewed
vnto
me
,
who
by
reason
of
my
sinnes
whereby
I
haue
from
time
to
time
dishonoured
thee
,
am
altogether
vnworthie
to
be
called
thy
seruant
,
or
once
to
be
reckoned
amongst
the
least
,
and
meanest
of
those
vnto
whom
thou
hast
vouchsafed
this
so
great
a
priuiledge
,
so
glorious
a
dignitie
,
and
prerogatiue
.
Oh
that
I
were
able
to
performe
that
seruice
which
is
due
vnto
thee
,
and
which
thou
requirest
of
me
;
Thou
art
my
Lord
and
my
God
,
vnto
whom
I
owe
all
dutie
all
homage
,
and
loyaltie
;
thou
onely
art
worthie
to
be
serued
,
worshipped
,
and
glorified
of
all
creatures
,
both
in
heauen
and
in
earth
.
I
acknowledge
,
that
all
that
I
can
possible
doe
,
is
lesse
then
that
which
my
dutie
,
and
thy
loue
and
goodnesse
bindeth
me
vnto
,
and
which
thou
mayest
well
expect
of
me
;
It
is
the
desire
of
my
heart
to
be
found
euery
way
obedient
,
and
faithfull
vnto
thee
,
yea
to
serue
thee
with
al
my
strength
,
with
all
my
might
,
and
that
vnto
the
end
of
my
dayes
:
O
Let
it
please
thee
(
who
art
able
to
doe
all
things
)
to
make
a
gracious
supplie
of
that
which
thou
seest
to
be
wanting
in
me
;
and
wherein
through
weakenesse
,
and
infirmitie
,
I
am
subiect
to
faile
most
,
to
helpe
and
to
assist
me
through
the
powerfull
working
of
thy
blessed
spirit
,
without
which
I
am
able
to
doe
nothing
.
The
extreame
follie
of
men
in
hazarding
the
eternall
estate
of
their
soules
,
for
the
enioying
of
the
vaine
pleasures
of
this
world
.
O
How
vaine
,
how
momentarie
,
and
deceitfull
are
all
earthly
pleasures
and
delights
,
euen
then
when
any
enioyeth
all
that
his
heart
can
wish
,
or
desire
,
or
whereunto
his
minde
standeth
most
affected
!
They
are
all
as
smoake
,
or
as
a
shadowe
;
they
vanish
suddenlie
and
come
to
nothing
:
and
when
they
are
gone
,
they
are
as
if
they
had
neuer
been
;
euen
the
remembrance
of
them
doth
perish
,
and
passe
away
.
And
whiles
that
a
man
hath
the
vse
of
them
,
yet
doth
he
not
finde
any
true
delight
or
contentment
in
them
;
yea
it
may
well
be
doubted
,
whether
he
tasteth
of
more
sowre
or
sweet
,
more
honey
or
gall
,
more
pleasure
and
delight
or
griefe
and
vexation
,
whiles
he
drinketh
them
downe
with
a
greedie
appetite
,
and
in
an
vnsatiable
maner
.
For
thus
the
Lord
vs●ally
puts
much
bitternesse
into
their
sweetest
cup
,
and
mingleth
trouble
,
anguish
and
vexation
with
their
chiefest
delights
,
which
they
most
inordinatly
desire
,
and
seeke
after
.
And
yet
loe
,
such
is
the
follie
&
sottishnes
of
many
(
vnto
whom
the
Lord
otherwise
hath
giuen
vnderstanding
whereby
to
iudge
,
and
discerne
of
things
that
differ
)
that
like
vnreasonable
men
,
nay
like
brutish
creatures
,
that
are
destitute
of
all
wisedome
and
knowledge
,
for
the
gaining
of
these
fruitlesse
and
fading
vanities
,
they
sticke
not
to
lose
their
owne
soules
,
then
which
nothing
should
be
more
deare
or
pretious
vnto
them
.
O
Lord
,
let
me
not
be
taken
in
the
snare
of
the
wicked
at
any
time
;
let
me
not
haue
a
longing
and
inordinate
desire
after
those
things
which
please
them
,
and
with
the
loue
whereof
they
are
drawne
away
from
that
wherein
their
happinesse
consisteth
(
if
they
had
eyes
to
see
it
;
)
but
grant
,
that
seeing
and
considering
daily
more
&
more
,
the
vanitie
,
the
vncertainty
,
&
deceitfulnes
of
these
earthly
pleasures
,
and
worldly
delights
,
wherein
most
are
drowned
,
I
may
haue
a
true
contempt
,
and
holy
disdaine
of
them
,
in
comparison
of
those
things
which
concerne
thy
kingdome
;
and
that
beeing
weaned
from
the
immoderate
loue
and
sinful
desire
of
them
,
I
may
delite
my selfe
in
thee
continually
,
yea
solace
my selfe
in
thee
alone
;
that
so
I
may
be
filled
with
true
inward
and
spirituall
ioy
,
reioycing
alwaies
in
thee
,
who
onely
art
the
fountaine
of
all
heauenly
comfort
and
contentment
,
and
of
all
diuine
consolation
.
Deniall
of
a
mans
selfe
,
how
necessary
.
MAn
is
alwaies
to
rest
in
the
will
of
God
,
and
to
yeeld
himselfe
in
all
things
to
be
ruled
,
and
directed
thereby
:
Thereunto
must
he
frame
his
will
,
his
desires
,
yea
all
the
affections
of
his
heart
,
and
actions
of
his
life
;
he
must
in
euery
thing
be
swaied
wholly
,
and
only
by
that
,
or
else
he
shall
neuer
performe
acceptable
obedience
vnto
God
,
that
wherein
he
is
most
delighted
and
best
pleased
.
O
Lord
,
giue
me
grace
alwaies
to
denie
my selfe
,
and
mine
owne
will
,
and
to
resigne
my selfe
vnto
thy
holy
and
heauenly
will
in
all
things
.
Let
me
will
those
things
onely
which
thou
willest
,
and
affect
,
desire
,
and
enterprise
nothing
but
that
,
which
thou
hast
either
commanded
,
or
warranted
the
lawfulnes
of
it
,
that
so
I
may
doe
it
of
faith
and
without
sinne
.
Behold
Lord
I
am
thy
seruant
,
desirous
to
approue
my selfe
vnto
thy
maiestie
,
and
to
please
and
obey
thee
in
all
things
.
Teach
me
daily
both
to
know
and
to
doe
thy
will
better
then
I
haue
done
heretofore
;
euen
with
all
readines
,
willingnes
,
and
cheerefulnes
,
as
those
celestiall
creatures
doe
,
which
alwaies
attend
vpon
thy
presence
,
as
ministring
spirits
,
ready
with
all
diligence
and
alacritie
to
execute
whatsoeuer
thou
commandest
.
Frame
my
heart
more
and
more
vnto
the
obedience
of
thy
lawes
,
and
let
me
with
all
reuerence
,
and
humble
submission
both
of
soule
and
bodie
,
subiect
my selfe
vnto
thee
,
following
thee
whithersoeuer
thou
shalt
leade
me
,
and
being
content
to
be
ruled
,
directed
,
and
gouerned
according
vnto
thy
will
and
good
pleasure
in
all
things
:
yea
O
Lord
,
deale
with
me
as
thou
pleasest
,
and
as
thou
knowest
may
be
most
for
thy
honor
and
glorie
,
and
for
my
greatest
good
in
this
life
,
and
the
furtherance
of
my
happines
and
saluation
in
the
life
to
come
,
through
Christ
my
only
Lord
,
and
blessed
Sauiour
.
Amen
.
The
Lord
is
the
light
and
the
guide
of
his
.
EXcept
the
Lord
doe
inlighten
the
minds
of
men
,
they
are
as
those
that
walk
in
darknes
;
yea
euen
the
best
are
ready
continually
to
erre
,
and
to
go
astray
,
if
he
be
not
their
guide
,
if
he
be
not
present
to
direct
them
,
and
to
leade
them
forward
,
as
it
were
,
with
his
hand
in
the
right
way
.
Daily
experience
and
obseruation
maketh
this
so
cleere
and
euident
,
that
none
can
either
denie
it
,
or
doubt
of
it
.
O
Lord
,
I
know
that
the
way
of
man
is
not
in
himselfe
,
neither
is
it
in
man
to
walke
,
and
to
direct
his
steps
,
but
if
thou
leaue
him
,
he
starteth
aside
,
&
wandreth
like
a
straying
sheepe
:
O
therefore
be
thou
mercifull
vnto
me
;
let
thy
grace
and
thy
truth
alwaies
shine
foorth
cleerely
vnto
me
.
Be
thou
my
guide
in
all
things
,
going
before
me
,
and
directing
me
aright
,
so
that
I
may
neuer
bee
plucked
away
with
the
error
of
those
that
fall
from
thee
,
and
from
thy
trueth
.
Giue
mee
knowledge
,
giue
mee
vnderstanding
,
teach
me
to
doe
thy
will
,
and
to
walke
in
all
the
pathes
of
thy
precepts
with
a
right
foote
,
and
with
all
sinceritie
of
heart
and
affection
;
yea
let
thy
good
spirit
bee
alwaies
present
to
assist
me
,
and
to
leade
me
in
the
way
wherein
I
should
goe
;
that
so
I
may
continue
stedfastly
and
constantly
in
the
knowledge
and
obedience
of
thy
trueth
,
and
doe
those
things
which
may
be
pleasing
and
acceptable
in
thy
sight
,
and
bring
comfort
vnto
my
soule
and
conscience
,
both
in
life
and
in
death
.
The
Lord
neuer
forsaketh
his
in
the
day
of
affliction
or
temptation
.
IF
the
Lord
at
any
time
doth
expose
his
children
vnto
any
kinde
of
miserie
or
affliction
;
if
he
suffer
them
to
fall
into
diuers
and
grieuous
temptations
,
he
meaneth
them
no
hurt
therein
,
neither
is
hee
therefore
to
be
thought
an
enemie
,
or
to
haue
lessened
his
care
and
louing
affection
towards
them
;
but
rather
he
doth
all
this
for
their
good
,
yea
for
their
great
benefite
,
though
they
for
the
present
cannot
easily
discerne
it
,
(
not
beeing
so
well
acquainted
with
the
Lords
dealings
,
and
proceedings
,
with
whom
it
is
an
ordinarie
,
and
no
vnusuall
thing
,
to
proue
,
and
exercise
his
,
euen
his
most
beloued
ones
,
sundrie
wayes
,
and
in
diuers
maners
:
)
His
loue
is
as
great
towards
them
,
when
he
seemeth
to
be
their
enemie
,
as
when
he
carrieth
himselfe
most
friendly
,
and
causeth
his
face
to
shine
most
comfortably
vpon
them
:
in
their
greatest
distresse
and
affliction
,
as
when
they
haue
plentie
&
abundance
of
peace
and
prosperitie
;
yea
rather
(
if
there
bee
any
chaunge
in
the
immutable
and
vnchangeable
God
)
euen
then
when
for
a
while
hee
seemeth
to
withdraw
himselfe
from
them
,
and
to
leaue
them
comfortlesse
in
the
middest
of
their
miseries
,
and
greatest
extreamities
,
hee
is
most
tenderly
affected
,
and
hath
a
most
gracious
respect
vnto
them
,
although
it
doth
not
so
appeare
vntill
he
manifest
it
.
O
my
soule
,
why
then
art
thou
so
cast
downe
?
why
art
thou
so
disquieted
within
me
?
why
doest
thou
not
waite
vpon
God
?
why
doest
thou
not
rest
wholly
on
his
good
will
and
pleasure
?
Why
doest
thou
not
put
thy
whole
trust
and
confidence
in
him
,
yea
returne
continuall
thankes
and
praise
vnto
him
,
whose
mercie
and
goodnes
is
exceeding
great
towards
thee
;
who
in
euery
thing
seeketh
thy
profit
,
and
the
furtherance
of
thy
saluation
and
happinesse
;
yea
who
is
euery
way
infinitlie
gratious
vnto
thee
,
far
aboue
that
which
thou
art
able
to
thinke
,
or
to
conceiue
?
O
blessed
Lord
,
let
mine
eyes
and
my
heart
be
alwaies
lifted
vp
vnto
thee
,
my
God
and
louing
Father
,
the
Father
of
all
mercies
,
and
heauenly
comforts
;
and
suffer
me
not
at

time
to
bee
so
forgetfull
of
thee
,
so
distrustfull
of
thy
loue
and
gratious
fauour
towards
me
,
as
that
I
should
faint
in
the
day
of
affliction
or
temptation
,
when
it
shall
seeme
good
vnto
thee
,
to
trie
and
exercise
me
in
that
manner
that
it
pleaseth
thee
;
but
grant
that
I
may
haue
as
sure
hope
and
confidence
in
thee
,
and
be
as
thankfull
vnto
thee
when
sorrow
and
griefe
shall
lodge
with
me
,
yea
when
a
multitude
of
sorrowes
shall
compasse
me
about
on
euery
side
,
as
when
I
shall
be
most
filled
and
replenished
with
spiritual
and
diuine
comforts
and
consolations
;
knowing
that
thou
art
euer
the
same
,
alwaies
faithfull
in
that
thou
hast
promised
,
and
infinit
in
thy
grace
and
goodnesse
towards
thy
children
,
most
caring
for
them
,
when
they
seeme
to
be
least
respected
,
and
in
a
manner
forsaken
of
thee
.
The
loue
of
the
world
and
worldly
things
,
is
the
cause
of
distraction
,
and
much
disquietnes
.
THE
inordinate
loue
of
any
worldly
thing
,
is
the
cause
of
much
disquiet
of
heart
,
and
great
distraction
and
vexation
of
minde
.
How
many
do
hereby
pierce
themselues
thorough
with
many
sorrowes
;
how
doe
they
trouble
their
own
soules
,
when
otherwise
they
might
be
at
rest
?
into
what
bondage
doe
they
bring
themselues
?
yea
euen
consume
themselues
in
vaine
,
with
vnprofitable
cares
and
pensiuenesse
?
It
is
the
wisdome
of
a
Christian
therfore
,
neuer
to
affect
,
or
to
couet
after
those
things
which
are
vnlawfull
for
him
;
neuer
to
desire
or
to
long
after
any
thing
,
which
may
hinder
him
in
any
sort
,
from
inward
peace
and
freedome
of
minde
,
or
be
a
cause
of
anguish
,
griefe
and
distraction
vnto
him
:
but
to
weane
his
soule
from
the
excessiue
,
and
disordered
loue
and
desire
of
them
;
considering
that
they
are
such
things
,
as
when
he
hath
the
full
fruition
and
enioyment
of
them
,
he
shall
finde
that
they
will
not
satisfie
his
desire
and
expectation
;
and
that
they
will
quickly
vanish
away
,
and
perish
with
the
vse
of
them
.
O
Lord
withdraw
my
heart
,
I
beseech
thee
,
daily
more
and
more
from
the
loue
of
the
world
,
and
the
things
thereof
,
seeing
they
are
vaine
,
transitorie
,
and
full
of
griefe
and
vexation
,
not
yielding
that
delight
and
contentment
which
they
promise
and
make
shewe
of
,
but
rather
much
anguish
and
vnquietnes
of
minde
:
Seeing
they
are
a
cause
of
such
vnlooked
for
bitternesse
,
let
me
not
so
affect
them
as
I
haue
done
;
let
them
not
seeme
so
sweete
and
pleasant
vnto
me
,
as
they
doe
vnto
others
,
who
haue
not
tasted
of
better
things
,
and
therefore
finde
such
relish
in
these
;
but
grant
that
all
the
affections
of
my
heart
may
be
set
vpon
thee
alone
,
and
that
I
may
delite
and
reioyce
continually
in
thee
,
who
art
the
onely
fountaine
of
al
true
ioy
,
peace
,
and
happines
;
assuredly
perswading
my selfe
,
that
hauing
thee
to
be
my
God
,
I
shall
haue
the
desires
of
my
heart
,
yea
more
then
euer
I
did
or
could
expect
or
desire
,
freely
granted
vnto
me
according
vnto
thy
promise
,
wherein
I
trust
,
and
in
which
standeth
my
comfort
.
How
Christians
are
to
iudge
of
their
estate
.
A
Christian
is
not
to
iudge
of
his
estate
according
vnto
his
present
sense
and
feeling
.
For
the
Lord
many
times
is
neerest
vnto
them
,
when
he
seemeth
to
bee
furthest
off
from
them
;
when
they
seeme
to
be
euen
lost
in
themselues
,
then
is
he
readiest
to
be
found
of
them
,
and
to
shew
them
his
saluation
.
O
heauenly
Father
,
giue
me
with
faith
and
patience
continually
to
waite
vpon
thee
,
and
to
hold
fast
that
confidence
,
and
the
reioycing
of
that
stedfast
and
assured
hope
,
wherewith
thou
hast
heretofore
vpholden
me
.
Let
me
neuer
thinke
my selfe
to
bee
altogether
forsaken
of
thee
,
because
thou
sendest
some
griefe
and
affliction
vpon
me
,
or
sufferest
Satan
to
assault
me
with
diuers
and
sundrie
temptations
;
or
else
for
a
time
withdrawest
from
me
the
ioy
of
thy
spirit
,
and
the
comfort
of
thy
saluation
;
yea
though
thou
seemest
to
abs●nt
thy selfe
from
me
,
and
to
denie
that
gratious
presence
of
thine
vnto
me
,
wherewith
thou
hast
heretofore
comforted
and
refreshed
me
exceedingly
:
but
grant
that
I
may
cleaue
fast
vnto
thee
,
euen
when
I
haue
least
feeling
of
thy
loue
and
fauour
,
and
of
the
worke
of
thy
grace
in
me
,
and
that
I
may
alwaies
haue
sure
trust
in
thy
mercie
,
knowing
that
thou
a●t
wont
to
bee
neere
at
hand
vnto
thy
children
,
when
thou
makest
as
though
thou
wert
a
farre
off
,
and
wouldest
not
be
found
of
them
.
The
presence
of
God
how
blessed
and
comfortable
a
thing
it
is
.
OH
how
blessed
a
thing
it
is
,
alwaies
to
enioy
the
gratious
and
comfortable
presence
of
God!
For
when
he
is
present
,
all
things
are
pleasant
and
delightfull
,
the
heart
reioyceth
,
and
the
spirit
of
man
is
refreshed
exceedingly
;
and
when
he
doth
absent
himselfe
or
hide
his
face
(
though
but
for
a
season
)
then
euery
thing
becommeth
irksome
,
and
full
of
wearines
and
lothsomnes
;
the
soule
can
take
no
true
pleasure
nor
delight
in
any
thing
,
no
more
then
the
stomacke
being
distempered
,
in
meates
,
in
which
there
is
no
sweetnesse
,
no
relish
.
O
my
God
,
the
God
of
my
ioy
,
the
fountaine
of
my
peace
and
happinesse
,
doe
not
thou
hide
thy
gratious
countenance
,
nor
depart
farre
from
me
at
any
time
,
but
let
thy
spirit
alwaies
dwell
within
me
,
and
comfort
me
.
Let
my
soule
taste
of
those
sweet
delicates
of
thine
,
euen
that
hidden
and
that
heauenly
Manna
,
which
how
pretious
and
delightsome
it
is
,
none
knoweth
but
those
only
vnto
whom
thou
hast
freely
vouchsafed
to
giue
it
:
let
thy
face
euer
shine
vpon
me
,
and
manifest
thy
presence
alwaies
,
by
causing
me
to
feele
the
comfortable
fruites
and
effects
thereof
within
me
.
Oh
when
shall
that
blessed
and
wished
for
time
come
,
when
as
I
shall
bee
satisfied
with
the
fulnesse
of
thy
presence
,
and
drinke
abundantly
out
of
the
riuers
of
thy
pleasures
for
euermore
?
The
old
man
neuer
dies

life

EVery
Christian
as
long
as
hee
liueth
in
this
world
,
hath
the
old
man
liuing
in
him
;
hee
is
in
part
,
but
not
wholly
crucified
and
slaine
;
hee
hath
receiued
his
deadlie
wound
,
and
lieth
a
dying
euery
day
,
but
will
not
bee
quite
dead
,
till
the
soule
be
separated
by
death
,
from
this
earthly
,
this
sinfull
and
this
corruptible
bodie
.
O
Lord
,
subdue
and
mortifie
daily
more
and
more
,
I
humbly
pray
thee
,
the
corruption
of
my
nature
;
let
mee
feele
the
power
and
strength
thereof
weakened
,
and
decaying
in
me
;
put
thy
spirit
into
my
hart
,
w●ich
may
striue
continually
against
it
,
and
suppresse
the
force
of
it
,
so
that
although
in
some
sort
it
liue
in
me
,
yet
it
may
not
raigne
at
any
time
,
nor
haue
dominion
ouer
me
.
And
when
it
pleaseth
thee
,
make
an
end
of
these
wretched
and
miserable
daies
,
and
deliuer
me
from
this
bodie
of
sinne
,
and
of
death
which
I
carrie
continually
about
with
me
;
that
so
being
wholly
freed
from
the
bondage
vnto
which
I
am
now
subiect
,
and
restored
vnto
perfect
libertie
,
I
may
serue
thee
with
all
cheerefulnes
and
alacritie
,
as
thy
holie
Angels
and
Saints
in
glorie
now
doe
,
and
shall
for
euermore
.
A
free
minde
how
to
be
obtained
.
THere
cannot
bee
a
free
minde
where
the
heart
doth
not
continually
rest
vpon
God
,
and
stay
it selfe
vpon
him
only
.
Hee
that
doth
this
shall
quickly
finde
all
sinfull
and
immoderate
feare
,
and
the
excessiue
and
inordinate
loue
of
all
earthly
things
much
diminished
and
abated
in
him
,
yea
flying
quite
away
,
and
vanishing
in
such
sort
as
if
hee
had
neuer
bin
annoied
or
encumbred
with
them
.
He
that
doth
it
not
,
it
cannot
bee
,
but
that
he
should
liue
and
spend
his
daies
in
continuall
disquietnes
,
yea
in
great
miserie
,
and
vexation
of
minde
and
spirit
,
by
reason
of
many
distracting
thoughts
,
superfluous
cares
,
and
vaine
desires
,
which
will
euen
pierce
his
soule
with
many
sorrowes
,
and
oppresse
his
minde
with
much
griefe
,
anguish
,
and
perplexitie
.
Ah
Lord
,
thou
knowest
the
secret
thoughts
and
desires
of
my
heart
;
thou
seest
what
it
is
that
my
soule
longeth
after
;
how
faine
I
would
serue
thee
with
that
cheerefulnesse
of
minde
,
and
that
freedome
of
spirit
,
which
is
the
sacrifice
wherein
thou
art
so
much
delighted
;
Haue
regard
vnto
me
,
I
humbly
intreate
thee
:
consider
my
request
,
which
I
powre
out
vnto
thee
from
a
heart
vnfained
.
Giue
me
daily
a
greater
measure
of
thy
grace
,
whereby
I
may
breake
thorow
those
snares
which
are
laid
for
me
,
and
wherewith
I
am
readie
continually
to
bee
intangled
;
and
grant
that
I
may
resigne
my selfe
wholly
vnto
thee
,
and
rest
,
yea
set
and
fixe
my
heart
,
&
euen
roule
my selfe
vpon
thee
;
that
so
I
may
passe
the
rest
of
my
pilgrimage
hee●e
on
earth
,
peaceablie
,
cheerefullie
and
comfortably
,
as
one
that
is
set
at
libertie
from
all
sinfull

inordinate
affections

&
from
the
vaine
desires
,
and
the
needlesse

troublesome
cares

euill

wicked
world

of

OH
how
meanly
ought
euery
one
to
esteeme
of
himselfe
?
How
little
ought
he
to
be
in
his
owne
eyes
?
seeing
that
in
himselfe
he
is
nothing
;
notable
of
himselfe
,
no
not
so
much
as
once
to
thinke
that
which
is
good
:
If
he
were
as
wise
as
Salomon
(
so
famous
for
his
wisedom
and
vnderstanding
)
yet
if
the
Lord
did
not
continually
guide
his
heart
,
and
direct
his
st●ppes
,
there
would
be
much
follie
a●d
vanitie
sound
with
him
.
If
he
were
a●
r●ghteous
as
Dauid
(
●
man
after
Gods
owne
heart
)
yet
if
the
Lord
did
not
alwaies
preserue
him
,
and
strengthen
him
through
the
assistance
of
his
gracious
spirit
,
he
would
fall
most
dangerously
:
yea
,
if
he
were
as
pure
,
and
as
holy
as
the
Angels
themselues
,
those
heauenly
spirits
,
yet
if
the
Lord
should
not
sustaine
him
with
his
especiall
grace
,
and
continue
him
in
that
estate
,
but
withdrawe
his
hande
from
him
,
he
would
quickly
fall
,
as
it
were
a
starre
from
heauen
,
and
(
all
his
glorie
being
lost
,
and
his
light
dimmed
,
yea
quite
extinguished
)
become
like
vnto
Sathan
,
the
prince
of
darkenes
;
nothing
but
sinfulnes
and
impuritie
.
There
is
no
wisedom
,
no
righteousnes
,
no
holines
,
no
stedfastnes
but
onely
in
God
,
and
of
God
,
who
is
the
fountaine
of
all
grace
and
goodnes
,
and
from
whom
the
streames
thereof
are
to
be
deriued
into
the
hearts
of
men
,
or
else
there
wil
be
nothing
but
barrennes
and
emptines
in
them
.
God
is
all
in
all
;
the
best
without
him
are
as
nothing
,
hauing
no
power
,
no
ability
to
do
any
thing
which
is
good
.
What
is
it
then
that
men
should
glorie
of
in
themselues
?
Or
how
should
they
not
alwaies
haue
a
verie
meane
conceite
and
esteeme
of
themselues
,
yea
euen
annihilate
themselues
,
and
giue
the
glorie
of
all
vnto
God
,
vnto
whom
alone
it
is
due
?
O
blessed
God
,
giue
me
that
meekenes
of
spirit
,
and
that
true
humblenes
of
minde
,
which
as
it
is
a
thing
rare
and
pretious
in
it selfe
,
so
of
thee
verie
much
set
by
.
Teach
me
,
considering
mine
own
weaknes
,
of
which
I
haue
daily
experience
,
and
my
insufficiencie
of
my selfe
,
and
of
my
owne
strength
to
doe
,
to
will
,
or
to
thinke
any
thing
which
is
good
,
to
be
lowly
,
vile
,
and
abiect
in
mine
owne
eyes
,
yea
to
esteeme
my
selfe
as
nothing
without
thee
;
and
alwaies
acknowledging
mine
owne
feeblenes
,
and
manifold
fraileties
and
infirmities
,
to
depend
wholly
and
onely
vpon
thee
;
yea
to
cleaue
fast
vnto
thee
,
and
to
ascribe
the
praise
and
glorie
of
whatsoeuer
good
is
wrought
in
me
,
or
by
me
,
vnto
thee
alone
,
who
art
the
God
of
my
stre●gth
,
the
author
and
giue●
both
of
grace
and
glorie
,
and
the
beginner
,
and
finisher
of
euery
good
thing
,
which
is
wrought
in
any
of
thy
children
.
Another
.
THE
more
that
any
one
doth
emptie
himselfe
of
his
owne
worth
,
and
goodnes
,
the
more
will
the
Lord
fill
and
replenish
him
with
the
abundant
riches
of
his
diuine
and
heauenly
grace
.
The
lower
that
he
doth
abase
and
cast
downe
himselfe
,
the
higher
wil
the
Lord
aduance
him
,
and
lift
him
vp
,
euen
farre
aboue
that
which
he
did
either
desire
or
expect
.
Thus
his
gaine
wil
be
exceeding
great
,
in
that
wherein
to
others
he
may
seeme
to
suffer
some
losse
,
&
much
to
preiudice
himself
.
O
Lord
,
grant
,
I
beseech
thee
,
that
I
may
euery
day
be
more
humbled
with
the
sight
of
mine
owne
vnworthines
,
of
my
spirituall
pouertie
and
beggarlines
,
that
so
it
may
please
thee
,
to
inrich
me
with
the
greater
measure
of
thy
grace
;
let
me
yet
be
more
vile
in
mine
own
eyes
,
that
so
I
may
at
length
be
exalted
of
thee
,
aboue
that
which
I
deserue
,
and
be
crowned
with
honour
and
glory
in
thy
kingdome
for
euermore
.
Vainglorie
what
a
vanitie
and
follie
it
is
.
VAinglorie
,
as
it
is
a
common
disease
in
the
world
,
so
the
greatest
vanitie
that
can
be
;
yea
meere
follie
and
madnesse
itself
.
It
argues
euidently
,
that
he
that
is
carried
away
with
it
,
is
not
onely
much
distempered
in
his
soule
,
but
euen
out
of
his
right
minde
,
and
destitute
of
true
wisedom
and
vnderstanding
,
seeing
that
it
bereaues
a
man
of
true
glorie
,
vnto
which
that
is
no
waies
comparable
;
and
depriues
him
of
diuine
and
heauenly
grace
,
the
most
pretious
iewell
in
this
world
,
and
most
to
bee
desired
and
sought
for
,
farre
aboue
all
fading
and
earthly
vanities
:
For
whiles
that
any
seeketh
to
please
himselfe
ouermuch
,
in
receiuing
honour
of
men
,
he
cannot
but
displease
God
verie
highly
,
and
want
that
honor
,
which
is
from
aboue
;
whiles
he
couets
and
hunts
after
the
praise
and
applause
of
this
world
,
and
desires
to
lift
vp
himselfe
in
the
pride
and
vanitie
of
his
heart
aboue
others
,
the
Lord
resisteth
him
and
denieth
his
grace
vnto
him
,
so
that
of
all
others
he
is
herein
(
through
the
iust
iudgment
of
God
)
most
barren
and
fruitlesse
,
hauing
perhaps
the
shadow
and
outward
appearance
of
some
morall
vertues
,
but
wanting
that
which
is
the
life
and
soule
of
them
.
O
Lord
,
how
little
cause
haue
I
to
glorie
of
any
thing
that
is
in
me
,
except
it
be
of
my
infirmities
,
my
weaknesses
,
and
manifold
imperfections
,
vnto
which
I
feele
my selfe
continually
subiect
?
What
is
it
for
which
I
should
esteeme
my selfe
to
be
any
thing
,
or
to
bee
once
worthie
to
bee
accounted
amongst
the
meanest
of
thy
seruants
?
For
behold
,
I
am
but
a
fraile
and
a
sinfull
man
,
full
of
wretchednes
and
miserie
;
nothing
without
thee
;
not
able
to
doe
the
least
good
but
as
I
am
strengthened
and
assisted
by
thee
;
readie
to
faile
,
and
to
sinke
right
down
,
if
I
bee
not
continually
sustained
and
supported
by
thee
.
What
shall
I
say
?
If
I
haue
any
thing
,
it
is
only
thy
gift
,
and
thy
gratious
blessing
,
for
the
which
I
can
neuer
be
sufficiently
thankfull
.
Farre
bee
it
from
me
therefore
,
to
bee
so
misled
with
the
vaine
conceit
of
wicked
and
vngodly
men
,
that
I
should
lift
vp
my selfe
aboue
that
which
is
meete
,
or
glorie
in
any
thing
of
this
world
,
lest
it
displease
thee
,
and
cause
thee
in
iustice
to
bring
shame
and
dishonour
vpon
me
;
but
grant
that
I
may
reioyce
and
glorie
alwaies
,
and
only
in
thee
;
yea
that
I
may
extoll
and
magnifie
thy
name
continually
,
who
art
worthie
of
all
praise
and
glorie
,
both
now
and
euermore
.
The
Christians
Paradise
in
this
life
.
THe
children
of
God
liue
continually
in
a
paradise
,
euen
whiles
they
remaine
in
this
world
,
and
seeme
to
others
to
be
wretched
and
miserable
,
subiect
vnto
manifold
afflictions
,
and
diuers
kinds
of
calamities
:
They
taste
daily
of
the
fruite
of
the
tree
of
life
,
and
are
refreshed
with
those
inward
spirituall
ioyes
,
and
heauenly
delights
,
which
are
aboue
all
other
ioyes
,
and
in
comparison
whereof
,
all
the
pleasures
and
delights
,
which
this
deceitfull
and
enticing
world
can
affoord
them
,
are
but
meere
vanitie
.
They
are
certified
of
their
saluation
;
they
know
themselues
to
be
elected
&
redeemed
by
Christ
their
Sauiour
,
and
that
none
can
take
them
out
of
his
hands
,
who
is
so
mightie
and
powerfull
in
himself
,
and
so
gratious
and
louing
vnto
them
:
yea
by
faith
and
hope
they
are
ascended
into
heauen
,
and
in
spirit
behold
that
mansion
place
prouided
for
them
,
and
that
glorie
which
he
(
who
neuer
deceiued
any
that
trusted
in
him
)
hath
promised
vnto
them
;
the
remembrance
and
ioyfull
expectation
whereof
,
doth
euen
rauish
their
soules
,
and
cause
them
to
glory
in
the
Lord
,
and
in
the
riches
of
his
goodnesse
and
mercie
so
gratiously
&
bountifully
vouchsafed
vnto
them
,
when
they
were
most
vnworthie
of
it
.
O
blessed
Lord
,
open
mine
eyes
,
that
I
may
see
the
excellencie
of
that
estate
whereunto
thou
hast
called
mee
of
thy
free
grace
;
take
away
that
vaile
which
Satan
seeketh
to
spread
before
me
,
that
so
I
might
not
see
into
that
glorie
,
which
thou
of
thy
endlesse
loue
and
vnspeakable
goodnesse
hast
made
me
partaker
of
,
euen
in
the
middest
of
those
weaknesses
,
those
infirmities
and
afflictions
wherewith
I
am
compassed
about
on
euerie
side
.
Thou
hast
giuen
me
thy
spirit
to
bee
my
comforter
in
all
my
sorrowes
,
yea
my
faithfull
guide
to
leade
me
along
safely
by
the
waters
of
diuine
and
heauenlie
consolations
,
and
to
conduct
me
with
much
peace
and
ioy
thorow
this
vale
of
miserie
,
vnto
that
promised
rest
,
that
heauenly
Canaan
.
Euery
day
thou
causest
me
to
taste
of
thy
goodnesse
,
yea
fillest
me
with
thy
hid
treasures
,
such
as
the
world
is
not
acquainted
with
:
Euen
in
the
depth
of
miserie
,
thou
makest
me
to
see
,
and
to
enioy
the
blessednesse
and
glorie
of
thy
Saints
and
chosen
ones
:
And
after
that
I
haue
been
for
a
while
tossed
in
this
sea
,
wilt
cause
me
speedily
to
arriue
at
that
hauen
where
I
would
be
;
yea
thou
wilt
stretch
forth
thy
hand
,
and
receiue
me
into
thine
owne
presence
,
&
cause
me
to
behold
thy
face
in
that
brightnes
of
glorie
for
euermore
.
How
the
life
to
come
ought
to
be
desired
of
euery
true
Christian
,
in
regard
of
the
excellencie
and
glorie
of
it
.
THat
heathenish
pagan
(
as
is
reported
of
him
)
reading
Platoes
discourse
of
the
soules
immortalitie
&
estate
after
this
life
,
was
so
rauished
therewith
,
that
with
the
desire
thereof
,
he
cast
himselfe
into
the
sea
,
&
ended
his
life
.
His
act
was
sinfull
,
and
no
waies
to
be
imitated
by
any
(
for
no
man
is
to
cut
off
the
threede
of
his
life
,
vntill
the
Lords
appointed
time
)
but
yet
his
vehement
desire
and
earnest
affecting
of
that
glory
which
he
apprehended
,
&
conceited
in
his
minde
,
may
teach
euen
vs
that
are
Christians
,
to
blush
in
our selues
,
when
we
finde
our
hearts
so
dull
,
and
senseles
,
that
the
remembrance
of
that
promised
glorie
and
happine
,
swill
no
more
affect
vs
,
then
ordinarily
it
doth
the
most
.
Oh
it
should
wholly
possesse
our
soules
,
and
rauish
our
mindes
,
and
cause
vs
to
labour
by
all
meanes
to
get
assurance
vpon
good
euidence
,
that
we
shall
at
length
haue
our
part
and
portion
in
it
,
being
gathered
togeher
with
all
the
Saints
into
that
glorious
kingdome
,
those
heauenly
mansions
.
O
mercifull
God
,
how
great
is
thy
goodnes
?
how
vnsearchable
are
the
riches
of
thy
grace
,
and
fauour
towards
thy
Saints
and
chosen
ones
,
those
whom
in
Christ
Iesus
thou
imbracedst
before
all
worlds
?
Oh
how
blessed
and
glorious
is
that
estate
which
thou
reseruest
for
them
in
the
heauens
,
and
which
thou
wilt
giue
them
possession
of
,
as
soone
as
these
fraile
and
sinfull
daies
of
theirs
are
ended
!
Thou
wilt
cause
them
to
shine
as
the
starres
,
yea
as
the
sunne
it selfe
when
it
is
in
the
greatest
brightnes
.
All
kinde
of
impuritie
and
vncleannes
beeing
done
away
,
thou
wilt
clothe
them
with
the
glorious
robes
of
innocencie
,
righteousnes
,
and
holines
;
thou
wilt
adorne
them
with
those
pretious
iewels
of
all
diuine
and
heauenly
graces
,
and
cause
thy
name
to
be
written
in
their
foreheads
;
yea
thou
wilt
set
them
vpon
thrones
with
thy
Christ
,
with
scepters
in
their
hands
,
and
crownes
on
their
heads
,
and
giue
vnto
them
for
an
euerlasting
inheritance
,
that
celestiall
kingdome
of
endles
blisse
&
happines
.
Thou
wilt
euery
way
shewe
thy selfe
maruellous
towards
them
,
aboue
that
we
are
able
to
thinke
,
or
conceiue
in
this
frailetie
of
ours
,
which
is
not
able
to
comprehend
the
brightnes
of
that
heauenly
light
,
which
thou
wilt
cause
to
shine
forth
vnto
them
in
a
wonderfull
and
glorious
maner
,
no
more
then
our
bodily
eyes
are
able
to
behold
the
glittering
beames
of
the
Sunne
when
it
is
in
the
full
strength
thereof
.
O
blessed
Lord
,
affect
my
heart
with
the
due
consideration
of
that
maruellous
glorie
of
thine
,
euen
that
happie
and
glorious
condition
,
which
in
thy
vnspeakeable
mercie
and
kindnes
thou
wilt
raise
me
vnto
as
soone
as
these
wretched
dayes
of
sinne
and
miserie
are
ended
.
And
let
the
remembrance
thereof
,
cause
me
continually
to
sigh
and
to
long
after
it
,
and
to
rest
euer
in
a
ioyfull
expectation
of
it
,
desiring
either
to
be
dissolued
by
death
;
or
(
which
I
rather
desire
)
to
see
my
Sauiour
comming
in
the
cloudes
with
glory
and
maiesty
,
attended
with
thousands
of
Saints
and
Angels
;
that
so
I
may
haue
entrance
into
that
heauenly
paradise
,
and
take
full
possession
of
that
rich
,
vndefiled
,
and
neuer
fading
inheritance
,
enioying
the
sweete
fellowship
and
communion
of
all
thy
chosen
and
beloued
ones
;
yea
liuing
continually
in
thy
most
blessed
presence
,
and
beholding
that
maruellous
light
wherein
thou
dwellest
who
inhabitest
eternity
.
Who
shall
be
citizens
of
that
heauenly
kingdome
.
THey
that
will
be
citizens
of
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
must
first
liue
as
pilgrims
and
strangers
here
vpon
earth
.
They
must
passe
by
all
these
transitorie
and
earthly
things
,
vsing
them
(
when
they
haue
occasion
)
as
if
they
vsed
them
not
.
They
must
not
set
their
hearts
vpon
any
thing
which
is
here
below
,
but
aspire
alwaies
vnto
those
things
which
are
aboue
,
desiring
and
longing
with
an
earnest
affection
,
to
bee
at
home
,
euen
at
that
heauenly
mansion
where
the
place
of
their
perpetuall
rest
and
abode
is
,
and
where
they
shall
continue
for
euer
with
that
blessed
companie
and
society
of
those
glorious
and
celestiall
creatures
,
which
now
continually
desire
and
expect
their
comming
,
that
so
they
may
reioyce
together
in
the
fruition
and
accomplishment
of
the
same
felicitie
and
happinesse
.
O
Lord
,
let
my
heart
,
I
beseech
thee
,
bee
more
and
more
daily
alienated
and
estranged
from
this
world
,
and
the
things
thereof
,
which
are
but
meere
vanitie
;
and
let
me
carrie
my self
continually
as
a
pilgrime
and
soiourner
heere
on
earth
(
as
all
thy
Saints
haue
been
)
not
suffering
my
affections
at
any
time
to
bee
fastened
vnto
any
of
these
fading
and
transitorie
things
,
but
weaning
them
altogether
from
the
same
,
resting
alwaies
in
a
desire
and
ioyful
expectation
of
my
returne
vnto
that
blessed
home
of
mine
;
that
so
when
this
wearisome
and
sinfull
course
is
ended
,
I
may
be
receiued
into
thy
celestiall
mansion
,
and
liue
with
thee
in
glorie
for
euer
.
Soli
Deo
gloria
.
