AFter

place

The
Diseased
have
yee
not
strengthened
,
neither
have
yee
healed
that
which
is
Sicke
,
neither
have
yee
bound
vp
that
which

broken
,
neither
have
yee
brought
againe
that
which
was
driven
away
,
neither

sought
out
that
which
was
lost
;
but
with
force
and
cruelty
have
yee
ruled
them
.
Some
such
Shepheards
,
or
indeed
,
Cyprian

Non
Pastores
sed
Lanij
,
in
the
words
of
St.
CYPRIAN
,
they
came
for
to
kill
and
to
steale
,
Pseudo-Apostles
,
and
false-teachers
.
Zanch.
in

.
(
As
ZANCHY
and
others
conceive
)
even
at
the
Plantation
of
the
Gospell
,
were
crept
into
the
Church
,
so
farre
from
healing
the
breach
of
the
spirit
,
from
administring
a
word
of
comfort
in
his
season
;
that
they
spake
Law
louder
than
Sina
:
they
made
them
meditate
terrour
:
they
wounded
such
as
were
vexed
at
the
heart
:
they
gave
them
the
cup
of
trembling
,
even
the
dregges
of
the
furie
of
the
Lord
.
Now
the
opportunity
,
now
the
time
for
him
that
bindes
up
the
broken-hearted
,
for
the
God
of
consolation
and
comfort
,
to
lay
to
his
hand
.
Hence
he
that
was
the
pen
of
that
ready
Writer
,
least
these
young
Plants
should
perish
for
want
of
watering
,
lest
they
for
whom
CHRIST
dyed
should
bee
swallowed
up
with
over
much
heavinesse
,
with
all
earnestnesse
of
exhortation
,
hee
laboureth
to
exile
anxiety
,
to
give
beauty
for
ashes
,
and
the
garment
of
gladnesse
for
the
spirit
of
heavinesse
.
That
the
bones
that
were
broken
might
flourish
,
he
inculcates
consolation
once
and
againe
,
he
makes
them
heare
of
joy
and
gladnesse
:
Esay
.
40.1
.
Comfort
yee
?
That
is
not
enough
,
hee
repeates
it
againe
;
Comfort
yee
my
people
;
saith
your
GOD.
See
here
how
hee
replyes
as
it
were
,
how
he
ecchoes
in
effect
to
the
word
of
life
,
as
the
Lord
commanded
,
even
so
did
hee
.
Reioyce
alwayes
in
the
LORD
;
Eccles.
11.6
And
againe
(
hee
knowes
not
whether
may
prosper
,
this
or
that
,
or
whether
both
may
bee
alike
good
)
he
addes
line

line
,
and
precept
unto
precept
,
as
the
Prophet
speaketh
.
Againe
I
say
Reioyce
.

The
parts
are

First

an
affection
incited
unto

:
Reioyce

Secondly
,

Fourthly

The
affections
of
the
mind
,
as
Anger
,
feare
,
sorrow
,
love
,
delight
,
and
joy
,
they
are
neyther
absolutely
good
,
nor
simply
evill
of
themselves
;
but
according
to
the
cause
,
the
object
,
and
measure
,
they
are
both
the
one
and
the
one
and
the
other
.
The

Our

if
not

if

they
are

not
,

is

unto

If
good
,
if
brought

if
guided

,
they
are
as
they
(
saith
Saint
Ambrose
)
that

that
caught
up

If
evill

to
destruction
,
they
run
away
with
us
to
the
ruine
and
subversion
of
our
Soules
.
So
that
Ars
artium
,
it
is
the
science
of
man
and
his
greatest
felicitie
,
to
order
them
aright
,
not
to
let
loose

;
to
hold
them

Those

which
to
use
otherwise
than
well
it
is

Let
us
guide
and
direct
in
the
way
of
truth
.
Omitting
the
rest
,
I
am
at
this
time
to
speake
of
that
,
which
though
one
and
the
selfe-same
thing
,
it
varies
both
according
,
to
the
Object
,
and
Subject
.
It
is
amongst
Fooles
as
the
cracking
of
thornes
,
as
the
phrensie
of
the
Soule
;
but
unto
the
righteous
,
it
is
health
to
their
Navill
,
and
marrow
to
their
bones
.
Ioy
;
it
is
one
of
the
principall
passions
of
the
sensitive
part
;
yet
as
annext
unto
the
Rationall
proper
onely
to
a
reasonable
Soule
,
arising
from
an
Object
eyther
good
,
or
seeming
to
bee
so
:
unto
which
the
heart
opens
as
a
friend
,
his
armes
and
his
bosome
to
imbrace
a
friend
:
so
this
opens
the
hidden
roomes
and
secret
closets
of
it selfe
,
to
entertaine
the
pleasure
that
is
presented
unto
it
.
Thus
in
effect
is
the
definition
of
nature
,
let
us
heare
the
addition
of
grace
.
It
is
all
both
essentiall
and
integrall
,
it
is
all
in
the
whole
,
and
all
every
part
.

My

shall
reioyce

rejoyce

all
they
that
put

him

Eccles.

.
Whether
he
be
poore
or
rich
,
if
hee
have
a
good
heart
towards
the
Lord
,
hee
shall
at
all
times
rejoyce
with
a
cheerefull
countenance
.
For
his
Lute
and
harpe
,
Psal.
118.15
for
the
Daughters
of
Musicke
,
the
voyce
of
joy
and
health
is
in
the
dwelling
of
the
righteous
.
And
last
of
all
for
his
habit
;
Eccles
9.10
.
Let
thy
garments
bee
alwayes
white
,
and
let
thine
head
want
no
oyntment
:
as
the
Preacher
speaketh
.
This
(
Beloved
.
)
Such
is
the
Subject
in
my
Text
,
not
streightned
in
himselfe
,
but
open
,
and
inlarged
as
the
Sea
.
For
grace
,
it
is
not
so
scantie
,
it
is
nothing
so
narrow
as
nature
.
Come
we
to
the
Object
,
it
is
transcendent
too
:
It
is
good
,
not
apparent
,
but
absolute
:
It
is
the
most
supreame
and
Soveraigne
good
,
the
hony-combe
with
the
hony
:
Eccles.
11.3
It
is
the
chiefe
of
sweet
things
,
as
the
Sonne
of
Syrach
speaketh
.
Psal.
73.24
.
Iob.
35.10
.
I
have
none
in
Heaven
but
thee
,
and
there
is
none
in
Earth
that
I
desire
in
comparison
of
thee
.
It
is
God
that
giveth
us
Songs
in
the
night
season
,
it
is
the
God
of
Consolation
and
Comfort
.
And
how
then
(
beloved
)
how
shall
I
expresse
the
affection
,
how
shall
I
open
the
joy
that
issues
from
hence
?
Shall
I
say
it
is
like
that
in
Harvest
,
or
the
joy
of
them
that
divide
the
spoyle
,
or
of
such
as
keepe
holy-day
?
Nay
,
there
is
nothing
upon
Earth
,
that
can
so
much
as
shadow
it
unto
us
.
It
is
as
the
fullnesse
of
Ioy
,
Iob.
38.7
.
it
is
as
theirs
in
Heaven
,
as
the
morning
starres
that
doe
sing
together
,
and
as
the
Sonnes
of
God
,
that
doe
showt
for
joy

Ioy

To
reioyce

Eccles.

and
to
doe
good
in

life

Both
these
as
they
are
united
by
the
Spirit
,
so
they
may
not
bee
severed
by
a
man
:
for
as
there
is
no
good

to
rejoyce
,
so
there
is
no
Ioy

in
doing
good

once

Let
the
righteous
be
glad

let
them
also
be

See
how
affluent
,
how
exundant
is
the
joy
of
the
Saints
;
how
full
and
copious
is
the
Prophet
in
the
point
.
Though
not
a
cypher
in
the
Psalmes
,
he
hath
many
words
to
expresse
one
and
the
selfe-same
thing
.
This
is
the
Dialect
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
these
things
are
written
:
That
his
Ioy
(
which
no
man
can
expresse

Ioh.

but
he
that
hath
it

nay
hee

There

might

the
streames
of
consolation
,
the
joyfull
gladnesse
of

So
I
unto

you

A

It

Oh
how
erronious
then
,
is
the
opinion
of
such
as
imbrace
this
present

?
Such
as
suppose
all
our
wayes
to
be
grievous
?
That
imagine
Religion
to
be
nothing
but
melancholy
,
full
of
anxietie
,
vexation
,
and
feares
?
Oh
that
they
would
but
turne
into
her
,
that
they
would
but
repose
their
Soules
with
her
;
without
doubt
they
should
find
more
pleasure
,
than
in
that
which
they
so
eagerly
pursue

Her
consolation
hath
no
bitternesse

and
to
live
with
her
hath
no
sorrow

mirth

peace

In

Doe

your selves
to

doe

Let
your

cleave

and
he
shall
give
you
the

you
shall
be

with
the

with
the

of

Learne

It

a
lesson
,
unto
which
though
we
are
incited
of
our selves
,
though
we
are
schollers
by
nature
,
yet
no
man
attaines
unto
it
,
but
he
that
breaks
off
his
transgression
,
hee
that
forsakes
his
sinne
,
he
that
purgeth
his
conscience
from
dead
workes
,
to
serve
the
living
God
,
who
hath
reserved
the
bloud
of
the
grape
,
the
purest
pleasure
for
piety
,
and
appropriated
his
joy
unto
those
that
are
his
;
But
as
for
the
ungodly
he
writes
bitter
things
against
them
,
and
in
the
middest
of
their
mirth
,
he
makes
them
to
possesse
the
sinnes
of
their
youth
;
so
that
as
their
mercies
are
cruell
,
so
their
very
joyes
are
but
Wine

They

It

Even

Againe
:
The

it
dryeth
vp

filled
with

:
Though
lasciviousnesse
like

make
him
looke
with
a
cheerfull
countenance
,
yet
is
hee
full
of
heavinesse
within
;
Like

as
the

Whatsoever
he
seemes
for

doe
but
enter
into
him
,
and
you
shall
see
,
that
his
heart
is
ashes
,
and
his
hope
is
viler
than

earth
;
all
his
dayes
are
sorrowes
,
his

his

Prov.

his
wayes
are
hedged
with
thornes
,
and
there
is
a

in
all
his

.
In
the
transgression
of
an
evill

there
is
a
snare
,

the

doth
sing
and
Rejoyce
.
The
Corollarie

it
is
this
:
Eccl

To
flye
from

,
as
from

,
for
the
poyson
thereof
of
it
drinketh
up
the
Spirit
,
and
its
venome
,
it
is
the
curse
of
the
heart
.
But
joy
,
and
honour
,
and
glory
,
and
a
crowne
of
rejoycing
,
shall
bee
to
every
one
that
departeth
from
iniquity
,
who
is
onely
capable
of

Now
you

all
the

of

it
is
as
a
Morning
Cloud
,
and
as
the

it

.
Hence
I
suppose
the
followers
of
Pharaoh
Court
,
being
conscious
of
this
inconstancy
,
are
so
solicitous
for
the

Wisd.

so
carefull
that
they
loose

Let

Let

See
how
short
,
how
inconstant
are
the
Ioyes
of
a

who
sayes
the

he
compares
them

the

unto

They
are

In

the

of

of

is

for

Our

They

From

Howbeit
they

their
joy
it
is
not

it
is
neyther
true
nor

But
he
that

a

(
saith

too
high
for
an

it

fulfilled

where
there

neyther

1.11
I
have
satisfied
what
happily
might
be
objected
from
affliction
,
the
poynt
is
as
yet
beset
with
opposition
by
Repentance
and
Temptation
.
First
,
for
Repentance
:
It
should
seeme
that
it
is
wholly
averse
,
that
it
is
cleane
contrary
unto
this
exhortation
of
St.
PAVL
.
For
the
picture
of
a
Penitent
in
the
phrase
of
the
holy-Ghost
it
is
this
.
First
for
his
habit
,
Ion.
3.5
.
it
is
sackcloth
,
it
is
the
garment
of
anguish
and
mourning
.
For
his
Site
,
Lament.
3.
he
lyes
downe
in
his
sorrowes
,
he
wallowes
in
ashes
.
For
his
Person
,
his
head
is
full
of
water
,
his
eyes
are
a
Fountaine
of
teares
,
Ierem
9.1
.
his
face
is
soule
with
weeping
,
and
on
his
eye-lid
is
the
shadow
of
death
.
Iob.
16.16
.
For
his
fare
,
he
is
fed
with
Wormwood
,
and
his
wine
is
water
of
Gall
,
he
eates
ashes
as
it
were
bread
,
and
mingleth
his
drinke
with
weeping
.
Psal.
102.9
.
To
come
something
nearer
unto
him
:
for
his
speech
,
it
answeres
the
originall
,
it
is
contrite
and
broken
,
it
is
often
interrupted
with
sighes
,
Even
to
the
breaking
of
the
loynes
,
Ezech
24
,
as
the
Prophet
speaketh
.
Gemitibus
inenarrabilibus
,
with
sighes
that
cannot
be
uttered
,
as
the
Apostle
speaketh
.
Rom.
8.26
The
halfe
of
the
objection
is
not
yet
at
an
end
.
Psal.
22.14
.
Within
,
you
shall
have
an
heart
in
the
middest
of
his
body
,
like
melting
waxe
.
Prov
18.14
His
spirit
is
wounded
,
and
a
wounded
spirit
who
can
beare
?
Psal.
51.8
.
Psal.
141.8
.
Psal.
38
,
3.
For
his
bones
they
are
broken
,
and
from
the
Crowne
of
the
head
,
unto
the
sole
of
the
foot
,
there
is
no
health
in
his
flesh
,
by
reason
of
his
sinne
.
In
a
word
hee
is
like
unto
the
Roll
of
Ezechiel
,
Ezech.
2.10
in
the
which
there
was
written
within
and
without
,
Lamentation
,
weeping
,
and
mourning
.
So
that
the
words
of
St.
Paul
,
Ruth
.
1.20
.
the
voyce
of
joy
unto
him
,
(
call
me
not
Naomi
,
but
call
me
Marah
)
it
is
as
laughter
at
the
Grave
,
it
is
as
Musicke
at
the
house
of
Mourning
.
Vnto
this
we
reply
,
that
the
heart
of
a
penitent
knowes
his
owne
bitternesse
,
Prov.
14
:
10
and
a
stranger
may
not
intermeddle
with
his
joy
.
The
one
it
is
as
occult
,
as
invisible
as
the
other
;
Howbeit
where
sinne
aboundeth
,
there
Grace
aboundeth
much
more
.
Rom.
5.20
,
So
in
the
repentance
not
to
be
repented
of
,
our
consolations
are
more
than
correspondent
to
our
sorrowes
.
Prov.
20.30
The
blewnesse
of
a
wound
,
it
cleanseth
away
evill
,
so
Repentance
sin
,
whose
cuts
are
as
it
were
of
a
two
edged
Sword
.
Besides
the
effect
,
the
cause
,
it
is
a
comforter
,
the
holy
Ghost
,
that
is
spread
abroad
in
our
heart
,
by
whose
society
our
penitency
is
made
pleasant
:
Et
ut
ita
dicam
,
amaritudo
nostra
dulcissima
,
saith
Saint
Bernard
.
Bernard
.
Our
bitternesse
it
is
sweet
,
not
onely
to
the
Angels
,
that
rejoyce
at
the
conversion
of
a
sinner
,
but
so
to
our
owne
soules
.
Our
very
sighes
and
groanes
they
are
like
Pillars
of
smoake
,
Cant.
3.6
.
perfumed
with
Mirrhe
and
Frankincense
,
(
in
the
phrase
of

)
and
with
all
the
powders
of
the
Merchant
.
Our
teares
(
besides
their
operation
,
which
is
to
make
our
sinnes
melt
away
,
as
the
yee
in
the
faire
warme
weather
)
even
in
the
instant
that
they
run
downe
the
cheekes
,
they
are
as
strong
drinke
unto
him
that
is
readie
to
perish
;
they
rejoyce
,
they
make
glad
the
heart
of
man
.

In

griefe

Now
for
Temptation
,
3.
Temptation
.
it
is
the
King
of
terrours
,
it
is
the
Artillary
of
Hell
,
it
is
the
strong
mans
battell
Axe
,
and
his
weapons
of
Warre
;
and
yet
behold
from
hence
there
ariseth
joy
to
the

;
even
in
the
extremity
,
even
in
the
heate
and
violence
thereof

The

themselves
,
nay
hee
whose

,
hee
that
lifteth
up
those
that
are
cast
downe
,
hee
administers
Might
,
Alacrity
,
and
consolation
unto
us
.
So
that
our
temptation
,
it
is
as
the
Whirlewind
in
the
first
of
Ezechiel
,
Ezech.

that
came
out

a
brightnesse
was
about

,
and
out

,
as
it

colour
of

It
is
so
with
that
which
strikes
terrour
into
us
,
the
temptation
of
Sathan
;
there
is
often
serenity
,
joy
,
and
brightnesse
of

,
even
in
the
middest
thereof
.

The

,
his

they
are

and
for
the
honour
of

;
Luk.

.
for
by
this
meanes
hee
and
his
,
the
Divels
themselves
,
are
subject
unto
us

by
this
meanes
we
overcome
the

,
we
tread
upon
Serpents
and
Scorpions
,
and
over
all
the
power
of
the

.
Wherefore
my
Brethren
count
it
all
joy
,
Iam
,
1.2
.
when
yee
fall
into
divers
temptations
.
You
see
now
how
every
way
you
may
fulfill
and
answer
the
exhortation
of
the
Apostle
.
There
is
joy
in
the
light
,
and
joy
when
grosse
darkenesse
covers
the
Earth
;
Ioy
in
our
beds
,
and
joy
in
the
morning
,
in
the
Feild
,
in
all
that
wee
set
our
hand
unto
.
There
is
joy
in
that
which
is
our
portion
under
the
Sun
,
the
good
things
that
God
hath
given
us
;
and
though
they
be
slight
&
momentany
,
though
they
be
taken
away
,
joy
in
him
that
is
more
than
they
all
.
It
was
the
opinion
of
Plato
,
Plato
.
that
the
Celestiall
Orbs
with
their
concourse
and
meeting
,
they
hit
our
harmony
and
make
Musick
not
unworthy
of
Heaven
.
It
is
assuredly
so
with
the
precious
stones
of
Syon
,
even
here
upon
Earth
;
all
that
wheeleth
about
them
,
or
indeed
is
as
wisely
ordered
,
as
sweetly
disposed
by
that
supreame
Providence
,
as
the
things
that
are
above
.
It
worketh
jubilation
and
joy
,
the
voyce
of
melody
and
gladnesse
of
heart
.

So
that
as
in

change
the
Tunes

and
yet
are
they
alwayes
sounds
;
so
is
it
heere
,
though
our
Estate
doe
alter
,
though
we
continue
at
a
stay
,
though
sometimes
we
abound
,
and
sometimes
are
abased
,
though
one
while
in
affluence
and
health
,
another
in
sicknesse
and
distresse
;
all
these
things
they
are
but
as
so
many
severall
tunes
to
the
Righteous
,
there
is
the
voyce
of
joy
and
gladnesse
in
them
all
.
Ioy
in
affliction
,
and
the
Lesson
of
Lachrymae
it
is
delightsome

Our
Harpe
,
our
Lute
,
it
is
in
the
right
tune
,
it
makes
most
melodious

(
heavenly

)
when
it
is
mournfull
most
.
There
is
joy
in
Repentance
,
and
in
Temptation
Ioy
:
When
thou
passest
through
the
Rivers
I
will
be
with
thee
,
Esa

and
through
the
flouds
,
they
shall
not
overflow
thee

When
thou
walkest
through

,
thou
shalt
not
be
burnt
,
neyther

Neither
affliction

nor
distresse
,
nor

,
no
not
all

of

shall
be

I

Many
more
are
the
attributes
of
God
,
in

which
might
amplifie
the
joy
of

As
that
hee

our
Shepheard

in

So

therefore

But

The
latter
part
of
the
4.
Verse
.
Againe
,
I
say
,
Reioyce
.
THere
is
a
deplored
,
there
is
a
desperate
opinion
of
the
wicked
;
That
Piety
is
pensive
:
That
the
Saints
are
men
of
sorrowes
:
That
they
wast
their
lives
with
heavinesse
,
and
their
yeares
with
mourning
.
True
it
is
,
I
confesse
,
that
many
are
the
afflictions
,
divers
and
sundry
are
the
pressures
,
the
troubles
of
the
Righteous
;
But
that
which
makes
a
man
eyther
miserable
or
happy
,
it
is
not
his
passion
but
action
,
not
that
which
he
suffereth
,
but
doth
.
If
it
bee
good
,
sorrow
may
lye
at
the
doore
,
but
there
is
no
ingresse
,
it
cannot
enter
into
it
:
for
that
which
is
nearer
than
the
joynts
and
the
marrow
,
all
his
inward
parts
they
are
possessed
,
they
are
taken
up
with
an
hidden
,
with
a
secret
Ioy
.
So
that
what
is
without
,
say
that
it
may
raze
the
skinne
;
sure
I
am
it
cannot
pierce
the
soule
.
Our
Rejoycing
it
is
not
shallow
,
nor
superficiall
;
it
is
in
the
hidden
man
of
the
heart
,
it
is
the
testimony
of
a
good
conscience
:
2.
Cor.
1.12
let
it
be
sprinkled
with
the
bloud
of
the
Lambe
,
let
it
be
purged
from
the
evill
of
actions
and
affections
,
and
behold
the
bones
that
were
broken
shall
flourish
.
You
shall
heare
of
joy
and
gladnesse
,
and
sorrow
,
and
sighing
,
shall
flye
a
way
.
What
is
sayd
of
Wisedome
,
is
true
of
Religion
also
,
at
first
she
will
walke
with
him
,
Eccles.
4.17
that
is
her
Disciple
,
by
crooked
wayes
,
and
bring
feare
and
dread
upon
him
,
and
torment
him
with
her
Discipline
,
untill
she
may
trust
his
soule
,
and
try
him
by
her
Lawes
,
and
comfort
him
;
then
will
she
returne
the
straight
way
unto
him
,
and
shew
him
her
secrets
.
So
in
the
Schoole
of
Repentance
;
first
anxiety
and
sorrow
,
first
terror
and
contrition
,
and
after
this
great
a
calme
,
after
this
Iubilation
and

the

wee

the

I

Or
thus
.
First
,
there
is
an
Ingemination
of
an
exhortation
.
Againe
.
Secondly
,
there
is
the
party
Exhorting
,
exprest
or
at
least
imployed
in
the
verse
;
I
say
.
Thirdly
,
the
poinct
or
affection
exhorted
;
Reioyce
.
Of
these
in
their
order
,
and
first
of
the
Repetition
.
Againe
.
It
is
the
Dialect
of
joy
,
it
is
the
phrase
of
a
comforter
;
the
voyce
of
the
Holy-Ghost
himselfe
,
Gen.

Luk.
15.20
who
as
he
walketh
in
his
Iustice
,
so
hee
runneth
in
his
mercy
;
As
he
expresseth
our
sorrowes
with
an
Aposiopesis
,
so
our
joyes
with
an
Epizeuxis
.
He
sighes
out
the
one
,
but
hee
speakes
once
,
yea
twice
,
he
ingeminates
the
other
,
and
sometimes
more
.
Though
no
Tautology
,
not
a
word
in
his
Booke
but
is
weighed
in
the
Ballance
,
yet
hath
many

dilation

to
expresse
this

affection

Once

againe
,
nay
a
third
time
and
more
hee
inculcates
one
and
the
selfe-same
thing
.
So
in
the
Psalmes
:
Psal.
68.3
.
Let
the
Righteous
be
glad
and
reioyce
in
the
Lord
,
let
them
also
be
merry
and
ioyfull
.
In
a
word
,
throughout
this
whole
volume
,
you
shall
seldome
heare
of
this
Heavenly
affection
without
an
Ingemination
at
least
.
Reioyce
in
his
holy
name
(
saith
the
sweet
singer
of
Israel
,
Psal.
105.3

)
Let
the
heart
of
them
reioyce
that
seeke
the

.
And
againe
,
Psal.
149.2

Let
Israel
reioyce

him
that
made
him

and
let
the
children

ioyfull

Thus
hee
watereth
the
Hils
from
above
,
hee
sendeth
raine
into
the
little
Vallyes
;
Psal.

.
He
maketh
them
soft
with
the
drops
of
the
first
,
of
the
former
and
the
latter
raine

Haec

you
cannot

confesse

that
he
leaned
on

:
Surely

Hee
that
speakes
but
once
for
the
most
part
in
the
incitation
of
other
things
,
he
doubles
his
exhortation
of
joy
:
and
without
doubt
,
there
is
something
in
it
,
it
is
expedient
,
nay
it
is
necessary
unto
us
,
that
are
in
this
Valley
of

,
that

Our

and
our

,
nay
the

of

,
it

went
out

returned
againe
with

,
saying
;
Lord

even
the

are

through

Cause
of
tryumph
,
cause
of
exultation
indeed
to
tread
upon
the
Lyon
and
Adder
,
to
overcome
the
evill
,
to
cast
downe
strong
holds
,
and
every
high
thing
that
exalts
it selfe
against
the
knowledge
of
God
.
It
cannot
but
put
gladnesse
into
the
heart
of
man
.
Yet
this
I
dare
say
,
the
joy
of
the
Saints
it
woundeth
him
more
than
this
supreame
and
transcendent
power
.

As

sweetly
applyes
the
words
of
the
Phililistines
,

.
when
they
heard
the
exultation
,
the
shouting
of
the
Host
of

.
Woe

,
for
there
hath
not
been

According
to
the
joy
of
the
Saints
,
so
is
the
sorrow
above
and
besides
their
Hell
.
The
sorrow
of
that
uncircumcised
Host
.
Their
woe

,
and
the

The
next
thing
wee
are
to
observe
,
it
is
the
Quantity
and
the
constancy
of
our
spirituall
joy
,
expressed
or
at
least
implyed
in
the
Reiteration
Againe
.
The
word
it
puts
a
difference
betwixt
the
joyes
of
the
Saints
,
and
the
delights
of
the
Sonnes
of
men
:
In
which
though
you
empty
your selfe
from
Vessell
to
Vessell
;
though
you
make
proofe
of
those
things
in
the
booke
of
the
Preacher
;
Eccles.
2.1
,
2
,
3
,
4.
In
all
the
pleasures
of
Pharaohs
Court
you
cannot
finde
this
Againe
.
Quod
delectat
momentaneum
:
though
the
guilt
of
sinne
be
eternall
,
yet
the
joy
is
not
so
,
but
of
a
moment
,
but
of
a
minute
,
but
of
the
twinkling
of
an
eye
.
In
the
fift
of
Wisdome
there
are
sundry
similitudes
to
expresse
it
unto
you
.
What
hath
Pride
profited
us
,
Wisd
5.8
,
9
,
10
,
11.
and
what
good
hath
riches
with
their
vaunting
brought
us
?
All
these
things
they
are
passed
away
like
a
shadow
,
and
as
a
Post
that
hasteth
by
,
and
as
a
Ship
that
passeth
over
the
Waves
of
the
Waters
,
which
when
it
is
gone
,
by
the
trace
thereof
cannot
be
found
,
neyther
the
Path
way
of
the
Keele
thereof
in
the
Waves
.
Or
as
when
a
Bird
hath
flowne
through
the
ayre
,
there
is
no
token
of
her
way
to
bee
found
.
See
how
swift
,
how
transient
,
how
voluble
is
all
that
is
in
the
world
.
The
lust
of
the
flesh
,
the
lust
of
the
eyes
,
and
the
pride
of
life
.
Besides
their
brevity
,
for
the
most
part
they
end
in
bitternesse
,
and
in
the
enjoying
they
are
fastidious
and
unpleasant
.
Not
to
speake
of
them
in
grosse
,
but
to
single
out
some
of
your
beloved
sinnes
,
as
Concupiscence
,
Drunkennesse
,
and
that
which
you
call
pastime
.
Were
they
such
as
you
suppose
,
yet
evill
in
this
,
that
they
vanish
with
a
breath
,
and
even
in
the
enjoying
they
perish
.
For
the
former
.
Come
on
,
sayth
the
woman
,
whose
lips
drop
as
the
hony-combe
,
and
her
mouth
is

Oyle
:
Prov.
7.18
Come

how
long

Ovid.
Let
us
take
our
fill
of
loves
untill
the
morning
:
but
see
what
followes
.
Before
that
time
(
every
Sinner
is
a
lyer
)
before
that
time
he
is
in
bitternesse
of
spirit
,
Prov
,
7.23
,
and
a
dart
striketh
through
his
liver
.
In
the
next
place
is
the
darling
of
our
dayes
,
Drunkennesse
;
a
sociable
and
insinuating
sinne
,
that
flatters
with
the
profession
of
joy
:
But

but
the
end
thereof

Now

those
things
that
are

Our
Feasts
they
are
turned
into

,
and
our

In

The

;
the
merry

the

So

so

,
but
when
the
wine

oyle
putteth
gladnes
into
our
heart
both
in
peace
and
plenty
:
The
world
and
the
glory
thereof
it
passeth
away
;
and
when
once
gone
,
thou
mayst
as
soone
make
the
flowers
greene
that
are
withered
;
as
soone
mayst
thou
recall
the
Sunne
from
his
course
,
as
redintegrate
the
joyes
and
pleasures
that
are
past
.
Which
though
they
were
alwayes
present
,
though
of
constancy
and
continuance
,
yet
for
this
very
cause
would
they
be
loathed
of

Saith
Seneca

Satiety
for
the
most
part
it
breeds
dislike
,
and
no
such
surfeit
as
of
pleasure
and
joy
:
it
endeth
in
furie
or
deepe
discontentment
at
the
least
.
O
the
dolefull
estate
,
the
deplored
delights
of
the
Sonnes
of
men
;
that
are
neyther
solid
nor
certaine
:
or
if
so
,
if
of
continuance
,
they
cause
satiety
and
loathing
.
The
reason
,
it
is
our
Aberration
from

.

Delectatio

Ioy
in
the
affections
of
the
mind
,
it
resembles
Rest
in
the
Physicall
body
.
Sed
appetitus
corporis
naturalis
non
quiescit
nisi
in
loco
connaturali
.
Strange
,
that
our
affections
should
not
be
on
the
things
that
are
above
.
The
naturall
body
cannot
rest
but
in
its
proper
place
:
whence
I
may
inferre
,
that
it
is
as
easie
for
a
stone
to
lodge
in
the
ayre
,
it
is
as
easie
for
the
earth
to
ascend
up
on
high
,
as
the
Soule
to
bee
at
peace
,
to
enjoy
it selfe
in
whatsoever
(
but
with
relation
to
God
)
in
whatsoever
is
under
the
Sunne
.
So
farre
the
similitude
holds
.
Heare
the
difference
,
the
inclination
of
that
which
is
inanimate
,
it
is
at
rest
,
it
ceaseth
in
the
place
that
is
appointed
for
it
.
But
the
soule
not
so
:
When
her
joy
is
full
,
her
affections
are
fresh
;
and
behold
there
is
neyther
surfeit
nor
sorrow
,
there
is
neyther
loathing
nor
satiety
in
them
:
They
that
feare
the
Lord
shall
alwayes
Rejoyce
.
A
peculiar
,
a
priviledge
proper
to
the
pretious
Sonnes
of
Syon
;
whose
joy
not
the
enjoying
,
neyther
Estate
nor
time
can
take
away
from
them
.
It
is
established
in
the
Lord
,
and
it
standeth
fast
:
It
is
once
and
for
ever
,
it
is
alwayes
and
againe
.
Thus
much
for
the
difference
betweene
the
joyes
of
the
Saints
,
and
the
delights
of
the
Sonnes
of
men

By

and

it
is
in
effect
the

of

The

of

that

In

of

,
which
they

in
their

,
how
affluent

how
full

the

In

of

through

of

,
The
dry
Land
(

the
Wise-man
)
appeared
,

and
out
of
the
red
Sea
a
way
without
impediment
,
and
out
of
the
violent
streame
a
greene
field
.
It
is
assuredly
so
with
us
that
are
in
via
,
in
our
way
out
of
Egypt
unto
the
Land
of
Promise
,
In
the
great
water
floods
when
the
waves
lift
up
their
heads
.
In
our
manifold
afflictions
there
is
an
evasion
,
a
faire
passage
and
escape
from
them
all
;
For
hee
that
comforteth
those
that
are
cast
downe
,
Psal.
31.8
.
&
32.8
.
hee
considers
our
trouble
,
hee
knowes
our
Soule
in
adversity
,
hee
compasseth
us
about
on
every
side
with
songs
of
deliverance
.
And
not
onely
so
;
but
in
the
violence
of
our
passions
,
inundation
of
affliction
,
hee
doth
more
than
make
a
way
to
escape
.
Hee
turnes
our
Sorrow
into
Ioy
,
the
violent
streame
into
a
greene
field
.
Vnto
the
godly
(
O
their
happie
estate
,
Psal.
112.4
.
whose
night
is
cleerer
than
the
noone
of
the
wicked
)
unto
the
godly
there
ariseth
light
in
the
darknesse
.
Even
in
the
season
of
Sorrow
,
in
the
most
disconsolate
time
of
tribulation
and
anguish
,
there
is
a
day-starre
that
ariseth
in
their
hearts
.

there
is
a
Sonne
of
righteousnesse
that
shineth
upon
them

That

as
those
of

,
that
are
adverse
and
contrary
to
those
of
the

So
that
the
opposites
of
joy
and
gladnesse
,
they
are
not
onely
Sorrow
but
Ioy
.
Such
as
that

;

Folly
is
Ioy
vnto

that
is
destitute

And
againe
,
Prov.
10.23
It
is
a
sport
(
as
the
Wise-man
speaketh
)
to
a
Foole
for
to
doe
mischiefe
.
That
which
cloathes
with
shame
and
covers
with
confusion
of
face
,
that
which
swallowes
up
with
sorrow
,
even
Sinne
it selfe
,
it
is
the
glory
and
the
boasting
;
it
is
the
recreation
and
the
pleasure
of
the
wicked
.
When
hee
doth
evill
than
hee
rejoyceth
;
As
a
mad
man
that
casteth
firebrands
arrowes
,
&
death
;
and
saith
,
am
I
not
in

.
So
is
every
one
that
sinneth
at
his
pleasure
,
that
delighteth
in
the
workes
of
iniquity
,
he
is
be
sides
himselfe
,
he
is
not
in
his
right
mind
.
So
that
wee
may
not
but
mourne
at
his
mirth
,
we
cannot
but
weepe
for
to
see
him
laugh
.
This
evill
it
is
greater
than
the
other
;
he
is
sick
,
and
he
knowes
it
not
;
his
soule
it
draweth
nigh
unto
hell
,
and
yet
hee
is
insensible
of
it
:
more
than
an
Enemy
,
he
laughs
at
his
owne
calamity

griefe
which
causeth
Repentance
not
to
bee
repented
of
,
by
the
hearty
contrition
for
sinnes
committed
against
GOD
,
the
neere
approaching
of
so
many
afflicted
soules
unto
death
,
whom
the
conscience
of
Sinne
(
sayth
that
venerable
Hooker
)
hath
brought
unto
the
very
brinke
of
extreame
dispaire
,
Hooker
,
Serus
doth
but
too
abundantly
expresse
:
deepe
,
disconsolate
,
and
something
diffident
is
the
sorow
of
such
as
mourne
in
Syon
,
they
sayle
lower
than
the
Grave
by
the
gates
of
hell
.
They
sayle
unto
Heaven
;
heare
I
pray
you
their
inundation
,
their
Sea
of
anxiety
and
sorow
.
Hee

because
wee
have
sinned

So
the
Prophet
DAVID
,
though
hee
were
of
a
sanguine
complexion
,
and
by
consequence
naturally
cheerfull
,
though
hee
were
acquainted
with
the
instrument
of
musick
,
yet
see
how
his
Harpe
is
turned
into
mourning
,
and
his
Organ
into
the
voyce
of
them
that
weepe
.
There
is
no
health
in
my
flesh
,
because
of
thy
displeasure
,
Psal.

neyther
is
there
any
rest
in
my

,
because
of
my
sinne
:
Psal.

And
againe
:
The
sorrowes
of
death
compassed
mee
,
and
the
overflowing
of
vngodlinesse
made
me
afraid
.
Psa.
18.3.4
The
paines
of
death
came
about
me
,
and
the
snares
of
Hell
overtooke
mee
.
These
and
the
like
are
the
voyce
of
the
mourning
Turtles
,
the
Lamentations
and
Threnes
even
of
the
Saints
themselves
,
unto
whom
(
not
as
if
I
did
disswade
from
repentance
,
let
them
weepe
still
,
and
still
desire
to
weepe
)
but
let
their
teares
be
as
the
rayne
in
the
Sun-shine
,
comfortable
and
hopefull

We
are
to
inculcate
consolation
,
Dr.
Hall
.
to
preach
the
good
and
acceptable
yeare
of
the
Lord
;
to
make
them
heare
of
joy
and
gladnesse
,
that
the
bones
that
were
broken
might
flourish
;
give
strong
drinke
,
the
double
exhortation
in
my
Text
,
give
strong
drinke
unto
him
that
is
ready
to
perish
,
Prov.
31.6
.
and
wine
to
those
that
are
of
heavie
hearts
.
If
the
Apostle
wrote
to
the
Corinthians
,
2.
Cor.
2.7
.
concerning
him
that
was
guilty
of
a
sinne
that
was
not
so
much
as
named
amongst
the
Gentiles
themselves
,
to
comfort
him
;
least
peradventure
such
an
one
bee
swallowed
up
with
overmuch
sorow
:
how
should
we
powre
out
our
soules
?
How
should
we
heape
our
consolation
on
those
;
that
come
short
of
his
sinne
,
and
yet
in
sorrow
doe
exceed
?
Comfort
yee
,
Esay
.
4.1.2
.
comfort
yee
my
people
,
saith
your
God
;
speake
yee
comfortably
to
Hierusalem
,
and
cry
vnto
her
,
that
her
warfare
is
accomplished
,
and
that
her
sinne
is
pardoned
.
See
,
there
is
remission
,
there
is
forgivenesse
for
Man
;
and
there
is
mercy
with
God
,
it
is
over
all
his
works
,
so
and
much
more
over
ours
.
We
cannot
offend
so
much
as
he
is
able
to
forgive
.
Neyther
may
wee
imagine
that
our
sorrow
is
sufficient
for
sinne
,
were
our
head
a
fountaine
of
water
;
were
our
breach
as
the
Sea
,
did
our
eyes
gush
out
with
teares
;
should
wee
weepe
as
much
as
the
cloudes
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
untill
this
very
day
;
it
were
too
little
to
make
our
agreement
with
God
;
too
little
to
wash
away
the
least
of
our
sinnes
.
Wee
have
beene
with
child
(
sayth
the
Prophet
Esay
)
such
is
the
griefe
,
Esay
,
26.18
.
the
anguish
of
the
soule
,
as
the
travell
,
as
the
labour
of
a
woman
.
Will
you
see
the
Sonne
of
our
sorowes
?
But
in
respect
of
imputation
it
is
nothing
.
Parturivimus
ventum
;
Wee
have
as
it
were
brought
forth
winde
;
we
have
not
wrought
any
deliverance
upon
earth
.
Yet
heare
our
consolation
,
heare
that
which
will
make
our
wildernesse
like
Eden
,
Esa.
51.3
.
and
our
desert
like
the
garden
of
the
Lord
.
There
is
one
that
hath
wrought
it
for
us
,
Vir
dolorum
,
that
is
his
description
in
the
Prophet
.
Esa.
53.3
.
Hee
is
a
man
of
sorowes
,
and
acquainted
with
griefe
farre
beyond
that
of
affliction
or
Repentance
;
Behold
and
see
,
if
there
bee
any
sorrow
like
vnto
my
sorow
,
Lam.
1.12
.
which
is
done
vnto
me
.
All
that
we
suffer
,
all
that
wee
deplore
,
it
is
but
a
drop
to
the
Sea
in
respect
of
the
Passion
of
our
Saviour
.
The
reason
:
Aug.
de
temp
Serm.
117.
Suscepit
tristitiam
nostram
,
vt
largiretur
laetitiam
suam
:
saith
St.
Augustine
.
Surely
hee
hath
borne
our
griefe
,
hee
hath
taken
our
sorowes
upon
him
,
that
he
might
communicate
and
impart
his
joy
unto
us
.
Now
if
one
should
coëquall
the
other
,
if
our
gladnes
should
be
correspondent
to
his
griefe
;
how
pregnant
,
how
unspeakable
should
be
the
joy
of
the
Saints
?
With
him
you
know
there
is
mercy
and
plentifull
redemption
.
Oh
let
our
rejoycing
be
as
full
,
let
our
exultation
be
answerable
unto
it
.
The
ransommed
of
the
Lord
shall
returne
and
come
to
Syon
with
Songs
and
everlasting
joy
upon
their
heads
They
shall
obtaine
joy
and
gladnesse
,
Esa.
35.10
,
and
sorrow
,
and
sighing
,
shall
flee
away
.
It
is
the
case
of
the
contrite
ones
,
the
estate
of
those
that
are
reconciled
unto
him
,
whose
workes
are
righteousnesse
and
peace
;
quietnesse
and
assurance
for
ever
.

the

called
vnto
weeping

to
mourning
,
Esa.

,

to
baldnesse
and
girding
with
Sackcloath
,
and
behold
Ioy
and
gladnesse
;
sayth
the
Prophet
Esay
.
There
is
a
generation
as
yet
,
that
when
iminent
judgement
calls
upon
Repentance
for
sorow
and
contrition
,
they
mocke
at
feare
,
and
are
not
afraid
;
they
sing
a
Requiem
to
their
soules
;
they
solace
themselves
with
the
pleasures
evill
day
farre
from
them
,
that
say
Peace
,
peace
,
untill
their
destruction
commeth
;
that
spend
their
dayes
in
mirth
,
and
in
a
moment
they
goe
downe
into
hell
.
To
sing
this
Song
of
Syon
,
to
ingeminate
joy
unto
these
,
what
were
it
else
but
to
adde
unto
drunkennesse
thirst
?
What
were
it
else
,
but
to
sow
pillowes
under
the
armes
of
security
.
Strange
is
the
method
of
joy
;
Psal.
51.8
.
the
bones
must
be
broken
before
they
can
flourish
.
They
must
first
mourne
,
and
if
so
,
blessed
are
they
.
Blessed
are
they
that
mourne
,

they

Who
is
hee
that
maketh

glad
,
2
Cor.
2.2
.
sayth
St.
PAVL
,
but
he
that
was
made
sorie
by
mee
?
His
exhortation
without
doubt
,
it
was
onely
unto
those
,
whom
hee
had
made
for
to
meditate
terrour
;
onely
to
those
whom
hee
had
smitten
with
remorse
of
Conscience
.
Esa.
66.2
.
Vnto
this
man
will
I
looke
(
sayth
the
Lord
)
even
vnto
him
that
is
poore
,
and
of
a
contrite
heart
,
and
that
trembleth
at
my
Word
.
Esa.
66.2
.
See
the
most
gracious
aspect
,
the
light
of
the
countenance
that
is
a
thousand
times
more
cleere
than
the
Sunne
,
it
shineth
full
upon
those
that
sit
in
darknesse
,
that
have
the
sentence
of
death
in
themselves
.
I
dwell
(
sayth
the
Lord
)
in
the
high
and
holy
place
;
Esay
,
57.15
(
and
yet
hee
humbleth
himselfe
vnto
those
that
lye
among
the
pots
,
that
are
smitten
into
the
place
of
Dragons
)
with
him
also
that
is
of
a
contrite
and
humble
spirit
,
to
receive
the
spirit
of
the
humble
,
and
to
revive
the
heart
of
the
contrite
ones
.
Vnto
this
purpose
hee
speakes
once
,
yea
twice
,
but
man
perceiveth
it
not
.
When
the
Sunne
is
at
height
(
in
the
middest
of
consolation
)
loe
darknesse
and
sorrow
;
Esay
,
5.30
.
Esa.
19.5
.
And
the
light
(
as
the
Prophet
speaketh
)
is
darkened
in
the
heavens
thereof
.
So
that
once
more
,
a
third
time
(
O
if
yet
the
soule
of
him
that
refuseth
comfort
would
heare
.
)
But
the
waters
they
fayle
from
the
Sea
,
and
the
Rivers
are
wasted
and
dryed
up
;
all
that
hath
beene
spoken
it
is
too
little
to
the
afflicted
Soule
.
So
a
third
time
am
I
to
presse
you
with
the
Exhortation
of
Ioy.
Reioyce
alwayes
in
the
Lord
,
and
Againe
I
say
,
Reioyce
.
The
Parts
the
last
day
were
these
.
-
FIrst
,
an
Ingemination
of
an
Exhortation
:
Againe
.
-
Secondly
,
the
party
exhorting
,
expressed
;
or
at
least
implyed
in
the
verbe
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
I
say
.
-
Thirdly
,
the
Point
or
affection
exhorted
:
Reioyce
.
Of
the
former
of
these
have
I
spoken
plentifully
already
out
of
this
place
,
it
was
the
subject
of
my
whole
discourse
;
and
yet
so
true
is
that
of
St.
Hierom
,
Hierom.
Singula
verba
plena
sunt
sensibus
.
Much
more
might
be
spoken
of
it
,
howbeit
I
intend
not
to
build
a
new
,
but
to
worke
on
the
line
that
I
layd
the
last
day
in
the
later
part
of
the
Sermon
.
Rod.
Agric.
lib.
3.
Dial.

Againe
.
Contrariorum
affectus
discutimus
contrarijs
affectibus
;
you
remember
they
are
the
wordes
of
Rodulphus
Agricola
.
As
in
the
diseases
of
the
body
,
so
in
the
affections
of
the
minde
,
the
cure
for
the
most
part
it
is
wrought
by
the
contrary
.
So
that
with
this
double
Exhortation
,
we
are
to
take
away
a
twofold
evill
.
First
,
the
joy
that
is
enmity
with
this
in
my
text
,
The
joy
of
the
world
;
The
sport
unto
him
that
is
destitute
of
wisdome
,
The
cracking
of
thornes
;
The
mirth
or
indeed
the
madnesse
of
fooles
.
And
on
the
other
side
,
The
sore
evill
under
the
Sunne
;
The
supreame
sicknesse
of
the
soule
,
Sorow
;
which
,
as
it
is
the
rottennesse
of
the
bones
,
as
it
breaketh
the
strength
,
as
it
dryeth
the
marrow
,
as
it
drinketh
up
the
spirit
;
so
it
taketh
possession
of
all
in
the
whole
,
and
all
in
every
part
.
So
that
,
as
the
Physitian
of
the
body
,
so
wee
of
the
soule
are
most
troubled
about
the
cure
thereof
;
for
besides
the
inherency
,
besides
the
deepnesse
of
the
disease
,
there
is
an
inaptitude
,
more
there
is
an
Antipathy
,
an
opposition
of
health
in
the
patient
.

sayth
the
Stoicke
of
such
as
are
overwhelmed
with
anguish
.
Doe
but
administer
comfort
unto
them
,
and
you
make
the
breach
the
greater
;
do
but
speake
of
joy
,
&
though
you
seeke
to
asswadge
,
yet
in
their
opinion
you
doe
but
increase
their
griefe
.
As
hee
that
taketh
away
a
garment
in
cold
weather
,
and
as
vineger
vpon
niter
;
Prov.
25.20
so
is
hee
that
singeth
songs
vnto
an
heavie
heart
.
Proverbs
,
25.20
.
See
how
uncomfortable
(
That
word
not
enough
)
how
refractory
,
how
contumacious
is
the
griefe
of
an
afflicted
Soule
.
They
say
of
sorrow
that
it
is
an
oppression
,
a
straightning
,
a
constriction
of
the
heart
;
so
indeed
and
it
should
seeme
so
of
the
senses
also
.
Hence
I
suppose
that
in
respect
of
the
sullenness
,
or
indeed
the
stupidity
of
sorrow
is
that
figure
Prosopopeia
,
of
speaking
to
things
inanimate
,
such
as
have
neyther
eyes
nor
see
not
,
neyther
eares
nor
heare
not
,
neyther
passeth
their
breath
through
their
nostrils
,
so
obvious
and
common
in
the
word
of
the
Lord.

So
in
the
49.
Chapter
,
and
13.
verse
.
In
exprobation
of
their
diffidence
and
feare
;
because
of
their
sorrow
and
distrust
hee
turnes
aside
to
his
creatures
,
he
speakes
unto
thinges
without
sense
,
as
if
they
would
sooner
heare
than
the
distressed
Soule
.
Sing
,
O
heaven
,
and
bee
ioyfull
O
earth
,
and
breake
forth
into
singing
O
yee
mountaines
;
for
God
hath
comforted
his
people
,
and
will
have
mercy
vpon
the
afflicted
.
But
Syon
sayd
;
The
Lord
hath
forsaken
me
,
and
the
Lord
hath
forgotten
mee
.
It
is
the
true
dialect
of
the
Male-content
,
of
the
disconsolate
Christian
,
that
hee
is
not
in
the
state
of
Grace
,
that
the
deliverer
is
farre
from
him
,
that
the
Lord
hath
cast
him
out
of
his
sight
,
that
hee
is
destitute
,
forlorne
,
and
forsaken
:
and
so
long
;
though
you
have
the
tongue
of
the
Eloquent
,
though
your
lippes
drop
like
an
hony-combe
,
though
your
mouth
flow
with
the
precious
balme
of
Gilead
,
all
your
consolations
they
are
but
as
delicates
powred
upon
a
mouth
that
is
shut
up
.
They
are
but
as
messes
of
meate
upon
a
Grave
,
Ecclus.
30.18
.
as
the
Sonne
of
Syrach
speaketh
.
You
have
now
the
nature
of
Sorow
,
a
full
expression
of
the
anguish
of
the
Spirit
,
it
is
deafe
and
stupid
,
it
is
both
obstinate
and
stubborne
,
and
yet
wee
may
not
despaire
of
the
cure
thereof
,
nor
sinne
against
God
in
ceasing
to
administer
medicine
for
to
heale
their
sicknesse
.
What
if
the
Earth
bee
of
yron
,
shall
the
Heavens
bee
brasse
?
God
forbid
.
Let
them
rather
melt
with
compassion
,
let
them
rather
dissolue
into
showers
,
let
them
water
the
hilles
from
aboue
,
let
them
make
soft
the
cloudes
thereof
with
the
drops
of
the
former
&
the
later
raine
.
Gutta
cavat
lapidem
.
So
without
doubt
the
assiduity
of
consolation
,
the
continuall
dropping
of
comfort
,
it
cannot
but
peirce
through
sorow
,
it
cannot
but
enter
into
the
most
obstructedst
heart
.
And
therefore
as
the
raine
commeth
downe
,
&
the
snow
from
heaven
,
and
turneth
not
thither
,
but
watereth
the
earth
,
and
maketh
it
to
bring
forth
and
bud
,

Hee
that

hee
that

when
wee
shall

Then

more

can
expresse

Our

shall
bee
inlarged

our

shall
be
satisfied
with
the
plenteousnesse
of

It

the
voyce
of

not
of

of
him
that
speakes
by

they

,
heare
another

The

,
the
double
exhortation
,
it
speakes
not
with
so
much

as

Miserable
comforters
are
they
all

I
looked
on
my
right
hand
,
(
sayth
the
Prophet
DAVID
)
and
there
was
no
man
that
would
know
mee
.
Psa.

,

I
had
no
place
for
to
flye
vnto
,
no
man
cared
for
my
Soule
.
So
in
the
69.
Psalme
,
21.
verse
.
I
looked
for
some
to
have
pitie
vpon
mee
,
but
there
was
no
man
,
neither
found
I
any
to
comfort
mee
.
Now
for
our selves
:
though
wee
are
all
right
deare
in
our
owne
eyes
;
though
benevolous
and
well
affected
to
felicity
and
joy
.
Yet
there
is
no
man
that
quickeneth
his
owne
soule
;
all
consolation
it
is
from
without
.
If
I
said
I
will
forget
my
complaint
(
sayth
IOB
,
Iob
,
9.27
,
28.
)
I
will
leaue
off
my
heavinesse
and
comfort
my selfe
,
I
am
afraid
of
all
my
sorowes
.
So
the
Prophet
IEREMY
:
When
I
would
comfort
my selfe
against
sorrow
,
my
heart
is
faint
within
me
.

The
true
nature
of
griefe
,
it
is
so
with
all
those
that
are
in
anguish
,
of
spirit
;
as
they
that
are
fallen
they
need
another
mans
hand
for
to
lift
them
up
.
O
how
happie
then
are
wee
that
are
raised
from
the
gates
of
death
,
that
are
comforted
on
euery
side
,
not
of
others
,
not
of
our selves
,
but
by
the
God
of
all
consolation
and
peace
.
I
say
:
there
is
power
and
spirit
,
there
is
authority
,
there
is
life
and
emphasis
in
the
word
;
and
hee
that
speakes
it
with
a
double
expression
,
will
haue
it
deepely
to
be
observed
of
vs
.
I
,
even
I
am
hee
that
comforteth
thee
,
who
art
thou
that
thou
shouldest
bee
afraid
?

See

how
full

how

is
the
consolation
of
the
Lord
?
But
not
a

not

can
expresse
it
so
much
as

is

how

So
somtimes

least
wee

Nay
rather
let
the

(
his

it
is
not
of

but
of
Gospell
,
it
is
of
Ioy
not
of

)
Let
the
Lord
,
as
a
man
with
his
friend
,
speake
vnto
vs
,
face
to
face
.
Or
,
which
is
the
same
,
let
his
spirit
talke
and
communicate
with
our
spirit
,
that
our
joy
might
be
full
.
Behold
hee
doth
this
,
and
more
also
:
he
speakes
not
only
within
,
but
his
voyce
it
soundeth
in
our
eares
from
without
;
from
his
word
;
from
the
ministers
of
the
manifold
graces
of
God
;
from
the
disposers
of
the
unsearchable
riches
of
the
Gospell
.
First
,
for
his
Word
;
It
is
almost
as
his
voyce
.
(
As
in
the
vision
of
ELIAH
,
1.
King
.
19.12
.
There
was
a
soft
and
still
voyce
,
and
the
Lord
(
as
the
Text
doth
imply
)
was
in
it
.
)
So
in
the
word
of
God
,
especially
of
Peace
,
GOD
in
effect
is
that
Word
:
and
therefore
it
speaketh
with
Spirit
and
power
,
it
is
mighty
and
lively
in
operation
,
it
puts
more
gladnesse
into
our
hearts
,
than
their
wine
and
oyle
,
than
all
that
the
Earth
can
yeeld
.
Thy
wordes
were
found
and
I
did
eate
them

And
,
thy

,
and
so
the

will
I
reioyce

In

the
sweet
Singer
of

Who
for

Law
of

,
had
not
his
Statutes
beene
his
Songs
in
the
house
of
his
pilgrimage
,
he
had
utterly
fainted

in
his
owne

hee
had
perished
in

Heavinesse

O

there

murther

With

not

eternall
judgments

To
him

pitty

bee

How
much
more
is
it
his
pleasure
in
a
case

,
that
the

should
couer

That
consolation
should
spread
,
and
effectually
answeare

lift
it
vp
with

.
Now
(
beloued

you
haue
the
person
exhorting
.
I
say
.
First
,
hee
speakes
by
himselfe
.
Secondly
,
hee
speakes
by
his
word
.
And
thirdly
,
by
those
that
tread
out
the
new
wine
,
by
those
that
breathe
(
as
it
were
)
the
Holy
ghost
vpon
vs
.
So
you
Vse
,
1
see
(
to
vse
the
wordes
of
the
Apostle
)
how
on
euery
side
hee
confirmes
his
loue
towards
you
.
2.
Cor.
2.8
.
And
how
then
(
to
make
some
vse
of
the
poynt
)
how
shall
we
grieue
that
God
,
that
comforteth
vs
in
all
our
griefes
?
how
shall
wee
doe
despight
vnto
the
Spirit
that
at
all
times
,
that
in
euery
place
administers
joy
and
consolation
vnto
vs
.
Doe
yee
remember
how
inhumane
was
the
Act
of
Haman
in
the
2.
Sam.
when
David
sent
to
comfort
him
by
the
hand
of
his
seruants
.
Hee
returned
hatred
for
his
good-will
.
2
Sam.
10.4
Hee
euill
intreated
the
messengers
.
Hee
shaued
the
halfe
of
their
beards
,
and
cut
off
their
garments
in
the
middle
.
Beloved
;
as
much
as
in
vs
lyes
wee
doe
the
same
:
The
same
,
and
more
also
.
When
with
sinnes
of
malice
wee
affront
his
goodnesse
.
When
wee
oppose
with
presumptuous
wickednesse
the
comforts
that
hee
administers
vnto
vs
,
wee
doe
despight
(
that
is
the
word
)
we
doe
despight
vnto
the
spirit
of
Grace
,
and
so
to
our selues
wee
sinne
against
our
owne
Soules
.
So
that
instead
of
a
comforter
,
for
joy

That

that

come
foorth

They
rebelled
(
saith
the
Prophet
of
the
house
of
Israel
)
they
rebelled
and
vexed
his
Spirit

Therefore

The
next
use
we
are
to
make
of
the
point
,
it
is
in
our
straites
,
in
our
sorrow
and
distresse
to
have
recourse
unto
the
author
,
unto
the
Orator
of
our
joy
.
When
I
am
in
heavinesse
I
will
thinke
vpon
God
;
Psal.
77.4
.
(
sayth
he
that
had
as
much
as
a
Kingdome
can
yeeld
for
to
comfort
his
soule
)
but
all
these
things
(
it
should
seeme
)
they
were
not
enough
to
make
him
to
forget
his
sorrow
.
Are
there
among
the
vanities
of
the
Gentiles
that
can
cause
raine
;
Ier.
14.22
.
(
sayth
the
Prophet
Ieremy
)
or
can
the
heathens
giue
showers
.
So
may
I
say
of
the
pleasures
of
Pharaohs
Court
,
of
the
delights
of
the
Sonnes
of
men
;
Are
there
any
but
are
cloudes
without
water
,
any
that
can
power
out
comfort
,
and
drop
the
least
consolation
and
joy
?
Behold
and
condole
the
deplored
estate
of
the
daughter
of
Syon
.
She
wepeeth
sore
(
sayth
the
Prophet
)
in
the
night
,
Lam.
1.2
.
and
the
teares
are
on
her
checkes
.
Among
all
her
louers
shee
hath
none
to
comfort
her
,
all
her
friends
haue
dealt
treacherously
with
her
.
They
are
become
her
enemies
.
It
is
the
case
of
all
such
as
haue
emptyed
themselues
from
vessell
to
vessel
;
that
haue
liued
in
pleasure
;
That
haue
walked
according
to
the
desires
of
the
flesh
in
the
time
of
visitation
,
in
the
day
of
affliction
.
So
farre
are
their
familiar
friends
,
so
farre
are
the
sinnes
,
the
vnfruitful
workes
of
vnrighteousnesse
from
wiping
away
teares
,
from
speaking
of
peace
,
from
preaching
joy
and
gladnesse
vnto
them
that
they
power
out
their
gall
vpon
the
ground
,
they
breake
them
with
breach
vpon
breach
,
they
wound
to
the
soule
,
and
torment
them
with
their
owne
abominations
.
Heare
the
consolation
of
pleasure
,
heare
the
comfort
of
