He
that
offereth
praise
,
glorifieth
me
,
And
to
him
that
disposeth
his
waies
aright
,
Will
I
shew
the
saluation
of
God
.
I
Haue
chosen
this
Text
in
three
respects
;
First
in
respect
of
my selfe
being
aged
,
and
about
finishing
my
course
,
after
a
long
seruice
in
the
ministerie
of
the
Word
,
that
I
might
haue
such
a
Text
,
as
would
summe
vp
,
if
not
all
,
yet
most
of
my
Sermons
.
Secondly
,
this
being
the
time
of
the
Assises
,
it
would
be
very
fitting
to
speake
of
that
which
will
be
handled
at
the
generall
Assise
,
which
is
the
day
of
Iudgement
.
Lastly
,
withall
to
exhibit
vnto
you
the
Religion
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
compleat
,
euen
perfectly
set
out
;
for
as
much
as
without
which
we
cannot
be
saued
.
To
performe
these
things
,
I
haue
deuided
my
Text
into
three
parts
.
The
first
will
concerne
praising
of
God
;
The
second
to
be
the
ordering
of
waies
;
The
third
,
a
shewing
of
the
saluation
of
God
.
The
first
of
praising
God
,
I
will
make
instance
thereof
in
the
Church
seruice
,
that
the
religion
of
Christ
in
the
new
Testament
,
may
be
fully
discerned
:
And
where
it
is
said
,
he
that
offereth
praise
(
without
any
exception
of
person
)
albeit
the
word
(
offereth
)
be
the
act
of
a
Priest
,
yet
I
had
rather
say
,
that
all
are
Priests
,
then
to
exempt
any
from
offering
of
praises
,
euen
in
the
Church
.
It
is
said
in
the
Reuelations
of
Christ
,
that
he
hath
made
vs
Yee
as
liuely
stones
,
are
built
vp
a
spirituall
house
vnto
God
,
to
offer
vp
spirituall
sacrifices
vnto
God
,
acceptable
thorough
Iesus
Christ
:
for
albeit
the
burnt
offerings
of
the
old
Testament
are
ceased
,
yet
we
cannot
be
a
peculiar
people
vnto
God
without
sacrifices
:
It
is
a
thing
duly
to
be
marked
,
that
that
part
of
the
Temple
which
was
called
but
the
Porch
thereof
,
was
twice
seuerely
reformed
by
our
Sauiour
,
and
titled
by
the
name
of
the
house
of
God
:
our
Sauiour
applying
that
vnto
it
,
in
the
Prophet
Esay
,
Mine
house
is
the
house
of
Prayer
,
and
you
haue
made
it
a
den
of
theeues
.
And
so
it
followeth
in
the
mysterie
of
the
Temple
,
that
the
vpper
part
thereof
being
fulfilled
by
Christ
,
and
in
him
personally
finished
in
the
heauens
,
where
he
is
now
,
and
appeareth
in
the
sight
of
God
for
vs
:
Now
nothing
remaineth
for
vs
,
but
only
that
part
wherein
was
Prayer
,
and
Preaching
:
And
so
that
place
honoured
with
the
title
of
the
house
of
God
.
To
this
,
that
answereth
that
our
Sauiour
after
he
was
ascended
,
gaue
gifts
vnto
men
,
Saint
Paul
naming
by
them
,
Apostles
,
Euangelists
,
Prophets
,
Pastors
,
Teachers
,
Hee
that
offereth
Praises
glorifieth
me
.
This
assertion
,
howsoeuer
it
mislike
Trent

others
,
it
hath
one
most
vehement
aduersary
,
as
decreeing
in
a
Counsell
:
that
whosoeuer
shall
say
that
the
Lords
Supper
is
a
Sacrifice
of
praise
and
thanks-giuing
,
a
bare
remembrance
of
the
Sacrifice
done
vpon
the
Crosse
,
and
not
propitiatorie
,
or
only
to
profit
the
receauer
,
neither
ought
to
bee
offered
for
the
liuing
,
and
for
the
dead
for
sinnes
,
punishments
,
satisfactions
,
and
other
necessities
,
let
Hee
that
offereth
praises
glorifieth
mee
.
And
to
make
answer
;
this
Psalme
containing
such
matter
as
shall
bee
accomptable
at
that
day
,
when
God
will
call
all
the
world
from
the
rising
of
the
Sunne
,
to
the
going
downe
of
the
same
,
vnto
iudgement
.
First
of
all
it
is
said
,
I
will
not
reproue
thee
for
burnt
offerings
,
So
that
wee
are
discharged
from
the
Leueticall
sacrifice
:
And
then
commeth
in
these
words
,
Offer
vnto
God
Praise
,
and
pay
thy
vowes
to
the
most
Negat
Scriptura
quod
tacet
:
The
Scripture
denieth
that
it
speaketh
not
of
:
but
it
is
in
the
Scripture
by
strong
reasons
,
&
arguments
contradicted
.
And
as
for
the
Doctors
of
the
Church
,
there
are
the
names
of
Priest
,
Sacrifice
,
Altar
;
but
the
thing
not
so
:
Thirdly
,
the
practice
of
the
Apostolike
,
and
Catholike
Church
will
not
beare
such
a
thing
as
the
Masse
is
:
that
is
by
the
Scripture
,
it
is
contradicted
;
in
the
Doctors
a
verball
matter
,
a
thing
of
words
;
in
the
practice
of
the
Church
,
a
nullitie
,
a
thing
of
nothing
.
To
make
these
things
appeare
,
I
must
first
set
out
the
Scriptures
contradicting
it
,
euen
in
his
Masse
priest
,
and
in
his
sacrifice
.
In
this
respect
I
will
set
out
seuen
faults
in
the
Masse
,
two
against
Christ
his
Priesthood
according
to
the
order
of
Melchisedech
,
and
fiue
against
his
Sacrifice
on
the
Crosse
;
The
two
faults
against
the
Priesthood
are
these
.
First
,
that
the
Masse-Priest
will
presumptuously
thrust
himselfe
into
such
a
priesthood
,
as
is
proper
to
an
euerlasting
Person
:
and
the
Priesthood
therefore
continued
in
him
,
not
passing
it
ouer
to
any
other
,
for
so
is
the
Prophesie
;
Thou
art
a
Priest
for
euer
,
according
to
the
order
of
Melchisedech
.
And
accordingly
the
Prophesie
is
so
applyed
,
as
this
man
because
he
endureth
for
euer
,
hath
an
vnchangeable
Priesthood
.
This
word
vnchangable
,
is
otherwise
translated
;
a
continuall
Priesthood
,
or
a
Priesthood
that
passeth
not
from
one
to
another
;
but
Athanasius
,
a
Doctor
The
second
fault
is
,
that
the
Masse-Priest
will
be
so
bold
as
to
be
of
that
order
,
that
was
made
with
an
oath
after
this
manner
:
(
I
haue
sworne
and
will
not
repent
:
)
for
this
(
will
not
repent
)
will
not
agree
with
a
sinner
that
needeth
repentance
,
therefore
said
;
That
the
Law
maketh
Priests
that
haue
infirmities
,
but
the
word
of
the
Oath
which
is
since
the
Law
,
maketh
the
Sonne
who
was
perfected
for
euermore
:
such
a
sonne
,
as
of
whom
the
Father
will
say
,
this
is
my
welbeloued
Sonne
in
whom
I
am
well
pleased
,
To
discourse
of
these
two
points
,
would
require
longer
time
then
is
allotted
.
I
will
passe
therefore
to
the
second
kinde
of
faults
against
his
sacrifice
,
in
number
fiue
:
The
first
thing
is
,
that
in
sacrificing
he
will
imitate
Christ
sacrificing
himselfe
vpon
the
Crosse
,
which
thing
must
not
be
imitated
in
any
wise
.
This
thing
may
be
obserued
that
our
Sauiour
Instituting
his
Supper
as
a
remembrance
of
him
vntill
he
come
againe
,
gaue
himselfe
as
already
sacrificed
:
that
is
,
his
body
broken
and
his
blood
shed
;
for
the
Sonne
of
God
,
may
doe
as
God
his
Father
doth
,
which
calleth
things
that
are
not
,
as
if
they
with
one
oblation
,
he
hath
for
euer
perfected
those
,
that
are
to
bee
s●nctified
.
As
Ambrose
a
Doctor
of
the
Church
saith
vpon
that
place
,
Si.
Medicamentum
forte
,
&c.
if
the
Medicine
bee
strong
once
applied
,
it
will
cure
all
together
:
if
with
one
oblation
he
hath
perfected
those
that
are
to
be
sanctified
,
he
that
will
bee
sanctified
by
the
repetition
of
the
Sacrifice
,
saith
the
medicine
is
not
strong
.
The
second
fault
is
,
that
the
Masse-Priest
not
marking
the
order
of
the
attonement
in
the
old
Testament
,
taketh
in
hand
a
worke
which
he
cannot
possibly
finish
:
for
the
attonement
was
not
finished
when
the
Priest
in
the
lower
part
of
the
Temple
had
offered
his
Sacrifice
:
but
for
to
make
vp
the
attonement
,
Hee
must
goe
vp
into
the
holy
place
,
and
sprinckle
the
blood
vpon
the
mercie
seat
:
So
did
our
Sauiour
the
Priest
according
to
the
order
of
Melchisedech
,
when
hee
had
offered
himselfe
vpon
the
Crosse
,
he
entred
into
heauen
it selfe
,
now
to
appeare
before
the
presence
of
God
for
vs
:
and
standeth
in
the
middest
of
the
throne
,
as
a
Lambe
staine
:
This
second
point
of
entring
into
the
Holy
place
,
is
farre
from
a
Masse-priest
,
that
if
hee
should
boast
that
he
beganne
,
say
hee
cannot
,
that
according
to
the
Leuiticalls
,
hee
hath
finished
an
attonement
.
The
third
fault
is
,
that
to
make
Christ
a
Sacrifice
,
he
consecrateth
an
Altar
,
by
which
meanes
he
will
make
the
better
the
worse
,
and
the
greater
the
lesser
.
For
in
the
mysterie
of
Sacrificing
,
the
Altar
is
greater
then
the
Sacrifice
,
as
our
Sauiour
calleth
the
Scribes
and
Pharises
fooles
,
and
blinde
,
saying
whether
is
greater
the
gift
,
or
the
Altar
that
sanctifieth
the
gift
?
True
it
is
,
the
Doctors
of
the
Church
haue
vsed
this
word
Altar
,
without
weighing
of
it
;
it
was
not
seauen
times
purified
in
the
fire
:
it
may
be
found
in
them
that
Christ
offered
himselfe
vpon
the
altar
of
the
Crosse
:
but
if
things
must
be
tryed
by
the
touchstone
of
the
Scripture
,
the
Crosse
brought
nothing
but
curse
and
shame
to
Christ
crucified
.
But
for
sanctifying
,
our
Sauiour
I
sanctifie
my selfe
,
and
offered
himselfe
through
an
eternall
,
or
some
reade
it
,
holy
Spirit
,
without
spot
,
and
purgeth
our
conscience
from
dead
workes
to
serue
the
liuing
God
.
The
fourth
fault
,
is
against
the
laytie
only
;
vnto
whom
he
deliuereth
Christ
sacrificed
when
hee
hath
not
sacrificed
him
at
all
:
for
without
blood-shedding
no
sacrifice
,
and
which
is
more
,
no
forgiuenesse
of
sinnes
.
It
is
but
a
mockerie
to
say
a
body
cannot
be
without
blood
:
for
a
sacrifice
cannot
be
without
blood-shedding
where
death
ensueth
,
Christ
shed
his
blood
when
he
was
circumcised
,
and
some
otherwise
,
but
the
Sacrifice
was
not
finished
before
death
was
testified
,
euen
when
out
of
his
blessed
s●de
issued
water
and
blood
,
the
vitalls
of
the
heart
:

be
made
vnto
God
in
the
name
of
the
Mediator
Iesus
Christ
:
for
albeit
any
person
of
the
Trinitie
,
may
be
called
vpon
,
yet
ordinarily
God
is
to
be
prayed
vnto
,
and
Christ
the
Mediator
,
which
in
our
Church
booke
,
is
most
commonly
obserued
.
But
here
is
the
scandall
to
Infidels
of
all
sorts
,
that
this
is
the
God
we
make
shew
of
,
carrying
him
by
processions
in
the
streets
,
and
euery
where
worshipped
:
yet
the
Cake
hath
no
prerogatiue
as
other
things
haue
had
;
as
Manna
appointed
by
Gods
ordinance
to
bee
reserued
,
To
repeate
the
Doctors
of
the
Church
in
the
multitude
of
their
testimonies
,
would
be
too
much
for
a
whole
Sermon
,
much
more
for
a
piece
of
a
Sermon
:
But
to
proue
that
which
I
haue
affirmed
,
that
the
Masse
is
but
a
verball
thing
in
the
Doctors
;
and
as
they
sport
in
Schooles
,
Verum
est
in
vocibus
non
in
rebus
,
true
in
words
but
not
so
in
deeds
:
I
will
set
out
vnto
the
Doctors
an
obiection
to
answer
,
and
a
place
of
Scripture
to
expound
.
The
obiection
made
against
the
Christian
religion
was
,
that
they
had
neither
Temples
,
nor
Altars
,
nor
Images
.
This
obiection
hath
answer
from
the
Doctors
:
the
first
that
answereth
shall
be
Origen
,
who
liued
200.
yeeres
after
Clemens
Alexandrinus
,
an
other
non
sacrificamus
sed
glorificamus
:
wee
sacrifice
not
but
glorifie
.
In
saying
we
sacrifice
not
,
hee
cannot
forget
spirituall
sacrifices
:
therefore
meaneth
such
a
reall
sacrifice
as
the
Masse
is
;
and
the
Doctor
forgetteth
not
spirituall
sacrifices
,
when
he
saith
we
glorifie
,
for
that
answereth
to
my
Text.
An
other
Doctor
of
the
Church
Arnobious
,
Cirillus
an
Archbishop
much
to
bee
regarded
in
this
matter
,
he
liued
about
400.
yeeres
after
Christ
;
the
obiection
he
receaueth
from
Iulian
the
Apostata
:
who
if
any
reall
sacrifice
as
the
Masse
had
beene
but
intimated
in
the
Church
,
he
would
haue
discerned
it
,
being
once
a
Reader
by
Office
in
the
Christian
Church
:
but
the
answer
is
Lata
via
euntes
,
mentalem
cultum
perficientes
.
con
:
Julianus
.
Going
the
broad
way
,
wee
make
a
mentall
or
minde-worship
.
And
now
if
you
expect
more
testimonies
:
mine
answer
is
the
obiection
ceased
not
long
after
him
,
and
Christian
religion
was
better
vnderstood
with
the
reasons
thereof
,
that
Chrisostome
,
Ambrose
,
Augustine
,
Hierome
for
ought
I
haue
read
,
make
not
the
like
mention
thereof
:
And
as
for
Iustin
the
Martyr
an
inhabitant
of
the
Citie
of
Rome
,
and
a
Doctor
of
the
Church
most
ancient
,
about
160.
yeeres
after
Christ
,
his
Church-seruice
is
so
like
ours
,
that
from
him
we
haue
testimony
for
ours
.
Concerning
Dionisius
that
auncient
Doctor
,
as
is
supposed
,
he
maketh
a
great
shew
at
the
first
of
ceremoniall
matter
,
but
it
endeth
with
this
,
the
Bishop
communicateth
,
the
rest
he
exhorteth
to
communicate
,
and
concludeth
with
thanks-giuing
,
and
thus
much
for
the
obiection
.
The
place
of
Scripture
which
is
to
bee
expounded
by
the
Doctors
is
that
in
the
Prophet
Malachie
,
where
it
is
thus
written
:
From
the
rising
of
the
Sunne
,
to
the
going
downe
of
the
same
,
my
name
is
great
among
the
Gentiles
,
and
in
euery
place
,
Incence
shall
be
offered
vnto
my
name
,
and
a
pure
offering
;
for
my
name
is
great
among
the
Heathen
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts
.
This
place
saith
the
Papist
,
so
euidenly
proueth
the
Masse
,
that
it
cannot
be
denied
:
but
then
I
must
make
the
Doctors
of
the
Church
,
if
they
so
expound
it
not
,
vnskilfull
in
the
interpretation
of
the
Scripture
,
preferring
moderne
and
new
Writers
before
them
.
The
force
of
their
assertion
standeth
vpon
these
words
(
pure
offering
)
which
can
agree
to
none
but
vnto
Christ
offering
:
which
I
easily
agree
vnto
,
for
our
offerings
if
they
be
pure
,
they
are
but
pure
by
a
fauourable
grace
,
being
as
Saint
Peter
saith
acceptable
through
Iesus
This
is
my
Body
,
and
the
Cup
likewise
,
that
which
is
of
that
creature
,
and
is
with
vs
confessed
to
be
his
Blood
,
and
taught
the
new
oblation
of
the
new
Testament
,
which
the
Church
taking
from
the
Apostles
in
the
whole
world
,
offereth
vnto
God
.
These
words
to
him
that
is
affected
to
the
Masse
,
may
seeme
to
sound
some
such
thing
,
but
he
is
deceaued
:
for
albeit
the
words
of
the
Lords
Supper
be
brought
in
,
as
that
he
said
of
the
Bread
▪
that
it
was
his
Body
,
and
confessed
the
Wine
,
to
be
his
Bl●od
,
yet
the
body
of
Christ
,
and
his
Blood
,
are
not
the
offerings
;
which
a
Priest
must
only
offer
;
but
the
Bread
only
and
the
Wine
are
the
offerings
,
which
not
Priest
but
Disciples
offer
.
In
the
primitiue
Church
therefore
the
Disciples
offered
at
the
Table
,
new
Corne
,
Grapes
,
Oyle
,
and
Frankinsence
;
and
these
decreed
by
a
Bishop
of
Rome
to
haue
the
De

,
our

is

,
in
which
wee
offer
our

Prayers
:
Theodoret
doth
expound
the
place
of
spirituall
sacrifices
:
These
Doctors
being
the
most
famous
Doctors
of
the
Church
,
and
all
in
their
Expositions
,
not
hitting
vpon
the
Masse
,
how
can
it
then
be
true
,
that
this
place
cannot
be
otherwise
expounded
,
then
of
the
Masse
?
But
I
suppose
S.
Paul
,
the
Doctor
of
vs
Gentiles
,
doth
expound
the
place
,
where
he
saith
,
I
will
therefore
that
men
pray
exery
where
,
lifting
vp
holy
hands
,
and
as
it
is
translated
)
pure
hands
without
wrath
,
or
doubting
.
And
thus
for
the
Doctors
of
the
Church
,
and
to
the
Papists
,
I
say
,
they
are
rather
in
this
matter
,
Sophisticae
verborum
quam
Discipuli
veritatis
:
Sophisters
of
words
,
not
Disciples
of
the
truth
:
As
one
said
to
a
Iesuite
in
the
Councell
of
Trent
,
that
hee
had
taught
them
to
vse
Sophistrie
in
the
simplicity
of
Christs
Religion
.
But
to
auoide
all
Sophistry
,
I
make
a
third
triall
,
which
is
the
practise
of
the
Church
:
where
I
say
the
Masse
is
a
nullity
,
euen
a
nothing
;
and
here
I
make
vse
of
the
Plea
at
Common
Law
:
where
when
an
auncient
Graunt
is
in
question
,
they
enquire
after
the
Vsier
of
it
,
as
they
terme
it
:
how
that
was
continued
from
the
first
time
of
the
Graunt
:
The
like
will
I
doe
in
my
Plea
against
the
Masse
:
And
I
will
aske
the
Masse-Priest
,
where
his
Altar
stoode
in
olde
times
?
and
I
will
answer
him
my selfe
,
for
it
stood
in
the
middle
of
the
Church
:
What
else
?
it
had
railes
about
it
,
and
those
called
the
Chauncell
.
What
was
vpon
it
?
I
answere
a
great
Cake
,
or
Loafe
.
What
besides
?
a
knife
,
called
sacra
lancea
,
the
holy
Speare
,
besides
also
other

themselues
,

,
in

This
being
the
Vsier
in
auncient
times
:
Now
I
will
aske
a
Masse
Priest
whether
this
be
his
Masse
or
not
?
and
withall
,
I
will
bid
him
come
downe
from
his
Altar
,
and
stand
at
a
Table
,
in
the
middest
of
the
Church
,
with
a
great
Cake
,
or
Loafe
vpon
it
,
his
knife
by
it
,
and
then
say
(
if
he
can
say
so
)
we
are
of
a
new
Religion
.
And
now
I
will
answer
when
the
olde
Religion
went
out
,
euen
when
the
Table
that
stoode
in
the
middle
of
the
Church
,
euen
a
boord
Table
,
was
turned
into
a
stone
Altar
,
placed
at
the
vpper
end
of
the
Church
,
the
loafe
of
Bread
turned
into
a
little
round
thinne
Wafer-Cake
,
and
the
knife
out
of
vse
:
and
holy
vestments
deuised
for
the
Priest
;
confessed
therefore
it
must
be
,
that
the
Masse
is
a
latter
,
and
a
new
inuention
,
not
the
Institution
of
Christ
:
And
if
you
aske
when
this
was
done
?
let
the
Masse
Priest
tell
it
:
for
a
man
will
come
by
his
goods
,
though
he
cannot
tell
when
,
and
at
what
time
the
Thiefe
stole
it
.
But
he
may
answer
,
it
is
the
Church
that
hath
done
it
:
that
is
,
I
say
men
deuised
it
,
for
in
Scripture
speech
,
when
God
hath
set
downe
what
he
will
haue
done
,
the
after
doings
,
are
called
the
inuentions
of
men
,
as
when
our
Sauiour
alledgeth
out
of
the
Prophet
,
That
the
feare
of
God
was
taught
by
the
precepts
of
men
;
those
men
were
the
Elders
of
the
Church
,
the
Gouernours
of
the
Church
,
that
is
,
the
Church
:
But
as
Dauid
saith
,
I
hate
inuentions
,
but
thy
law
doe
I
loue
:
And
now
I
will
apply
those
words
of
the
Prophet
Ieremie
,
as
stand
in
the
wayes
,
and
looke
,
and
aske
after
the
olde
way
,
and
walk●
therein
,
and
you
shall
finde
rest
for
your
soules
.
And
if
you
will
haue
proofe
of
these
things
:
first
for
the
boord
Table
.
St.
Augustine
telleth
of
the
Donatists
,
we
are
all
partakers
of
one
Bread
?
which
thing
is
so
Not
of
another
body
this
man
,
of
another
body
that
man
,
but
all
of
one
body
are
fed
and
nourished
.
S.
Augustine
also
saith
,
Knoweth
he
not
that
euen
now
he
is
to
eate
part
of
the
body
of
that
immaculate
Lambe
?
Strange
kindes
of
speaches
of
two
such
famous
Doctors
,
and
contrary
to
the
Councell
of
Trent
;
That
decreeth
that
De
Sacri
.
Euch.

3.
Christ
must
be
taken
to
be
whole
,
in
Diuinitie
soule
and
body
,
and
in
euery
parcell
of
the
bread
,
for
euery
man
by
himselfe
to
participate
:
But
these
Doctors
,
bewray
another
matter
,
as
that
the
Lords
Supper
is
to
be
eaten
in
an
vnderstanding
so
:
not
so
indeede
.
In
an
vnderstanding
,
all
the
houshold
of
Gods
Elect
haue
eaten
,
doe
,
and
shall
eate
,
of
that
onely
Body
,
which
was
broken
at
the
Crosse
.
And
eating
it
in
such
an
vnderstanding
,
we
shall
then
eate
it
spiritually
,
in
the
deede
it selfe
.
No
feeding
to
the
spirituall
feeding
:
so
true
a
feeding
,
and
so
substantiall
,
that
to
it
only
agreeth
all
that
our
Sauiour
speaketh
,
in
the
sixt
of
Iohn
,
of
eating
of
his
Flesh
,
and
drinking
of
his
Blood
:
As
to
this
thing
also
we
are
directed
by
our
Sauiour
his
own
speech
,
saying
:
It
is
the
spirit
that
quickneth
,
the
flesh
profiteth
nothing
,
the
words
that
I
speake
,
are
spirit
,
and
life
.
And
the
conclusion
of
this
note
is
,
that
these
two
famous
Doctors
by
their
speeches
,
haue
ouerthrowne
both
transubstantiation
,
and
the
Masse
.
But
to
proceede
in
the
matter
in
hand
:
that
the
place
for
the
Table
,
was
the
middle
of
the
Church
,
one
onely
proofe
will
serue
,
which
is
Constantine
the
great
,
in
his
glorious
Eusebius
li.
10.
c.
4.
Gerson
.
Church
,
made
for
Christian
Religion
,
so
placed
it
.
And
it
is
reported
by
a
Writer
of
theirs
,
that
when
the
Pope
commaunded
that
the
Tables
should
bee
made
of
stone
,
(
may
be
for
the
iogling
of
it
)
hee
would
haue
for
himselfe
,
a
Table
of
boords
.
And
now
I
haue
ended
my
speech
concerning
Scripture
,
Doctors
,
and
the
Vsier
of
the
Church
;
none
of
them
testifying
the
Masse
:
It
may
be
it
will
be
said
,
if
the
Masse
be
taken
out
of
the
Church
,
a
thing
so
comely
,
and
glorious
in
his
ceremonies
,
the
Religion
of
Christ
will
be
but
a
bare
Religion
.
To
this
I
answer
,
that
if
it
be
bare
,
it
will
fit
well
enough
to
that
worship
which
must
be
,
in
spirit
,
and
in
truth
,
according
to
our
In
templis
quid
fuit
aurum
:
What
doth
gold
in
the
Temples
,
if
it
be
(
saith
hee
)
the
Gods
will
not
thanke
you
;
if
not
,
they
will
not
blame
you
.
What
saith
Cato
?
Si
Deus
est
animus
,
&c.
If
God
be
a
spirit
,
he
is
to
be
worshipped
with
a
pure
minde
.
Numa
had
three
sayings
,
as
that
the
Gods
cared
not
for
bloody
Sacrifices
:
Againe
,
better
things
were
not
to
be
presented
by
worse
things
:
such
as
the
Images
be
made
of
(
no
not
of
gold
,
for
it
is
but
thick
clay
.
)
The
third
thing
was
,
that
the
whole
life
of
man
,
was
to
be
spent
in
Religion
.
If
a
Papist
should
bring
an
Heathen
Philosopher
into
his
Church
,
and
shew
the
goodly
Imagerie
,
and
painting
therein
,
he
would
aske
him
what
else
?
for
these
Images
haue
mouthes
,
and
cannot
speake
,
as
when
they
brought
him
a
childe
,
to
behold
the
beauty
of
him
,
he
said
to
the
childe
:
Loquere
my
pner
vt
te
videam
:
Speake
childe
that
I
may
see
thee
:
hee
respected
inward
vertue
,
not
outward
shewes
.
S.
Augustine
saith
,
In
humilitate
hnius
sacrificij
,
non
est
tiphus
,
nec
cothurnus
,
In
the
humility
of
this
Sacrifice
,
there
is
neither
pride
,
nor
masking
,
like
Players
.
The
sum
is
the
Religion
,
is
not
discerned
by
gewe-gawe
foolish
men
,
but
by
them
that
are
graue
and
sober
.
The
Papist
when
he
would
gaine
a
Disciple
,
he
obiecteth
against
vs
,
that
our
Religion
is
to
easie
;
no
austerity
of
life
,
for
want
of
fasting
:
againe
,
bare
of
all
comely
ceremonies
:
Both
these
obiections
are
not
otherwayes
to
be
answered
then
by
the
wisedome
that
is
in
Christs
Religion
,
As
for
fasting
,
to
answer
in
wisedome
two
wayes
,
shewing
that
wee
eate
not
flesh
to
pamper
our
flesh
:
but
as
S.
Paul
saith
to
Timothy
,
Drinke
a
little
wine
for
thy
stomacke
sake
,
and
for
thy
often
diseases
:
The
like
to
be
in
eating
of
flesh
,
and
this
being
true
without
dissimulation
,
then
it
will
be
seconded
;
that
such
liberty
is
in
Christs
Religion
,
that
nothing
is
to
be
excepted
against
,
which
is
receiued
with
thankes-giuing
vnto
God
:
A
good
Disciple
that
beleeueth
it
;
A
faithfull
deuider
of
the
Word
that
preacheth
it
.
But
for
comely
ceremonies
,
as
farre
as
decencie
goeth
,
wee
must
goe
along
with
them
:
a
fault
to
haue
our
houses
swept
,
and
foule
Churches
;
faire
benches
at
home
,
and
ragged
Pewes
.
Our
Sauiour
being
to
answere
the
obiection
of
fasting
,
made
his
answere
three
wayes
;
first
,
that
new
wine
was
not
to
be
put
in
olde
bottels
:
Iohn
Baptist
came
fasting
,
and
they
said
he
had
a
diuell
:
he
came
eating
,
and
they
said
hee
was
a
glutton
:
The
third
answer
,
which
must
stand
for
all
,
is
,
that
wisedome
is
iustified
of
her
owne
children
:
These
rules
obserued
,
they
must
haue
an
answer
picked
out
of
them
:
But
if
we
fasted
with
them
,
their
fasting
a
matter
of
no
such
hardnesse
;
should
wee
gaine
them
?
that
the
answere
will
be
the
last
(
which
is
)
that
wisedome
is
iustified
of
her
children
.
And
our
Sauiour
will
say
for
all
iudgements
,
If
I
say
the
truth
,
why
doe
yee
not
beleeue
me
?
hee
that
is
of
God
heareth
Gods
word
.
As
the
wisdome
of
Christ
in
his
Religion
,
framed
according
to
spirit
and
truth
,
seemeth
foolishnesse
to
the
wise
men
of
this
wo●ld
:
so
let
the
wisedome
of
the
wise
men
of
this
world
,
be
foolishnes
to
vs
,
that
are
Christs
Disciples
.
I
will
deuide
our
Church
actions
into
three
sorts
.
The
first
is
our
Confessions
and
Praises
,
in
the
house
of
Prayer
:
The
house
of
Prayer
is
Gods
house
:
and
for
these
Confessions
and
Praises
,
they
haue
their
approbation
out
of
the
Text
:
As
God
himselfe
saying
in
his
owne
person
,
He
that
offereth
praises
glorifieth
me
,
where
the
word
Glorifieth
will
answere
to
the
obiection
of
wanting
glorious
setting
forth
of
Church
seruice
,
euen
that
hee
that
offereth
praises
,
glorifieth
him
.
The
second
sort
of
things
are
Baptisme
,
and
the
Lords
Supper
;
of
these
no
question
,
onely
the
Lords
Supper
for
his
name
,
by
the
Masse
Priest
somewhat
excepted
against
;
as
bearing
the
name
of
Supper
,
rather
Thou
doest
prepare
a
Table
before
me
in
the
sight
of
mine
aduersaries
.
I
am
the
bolder
he
taught
daily
in
the
Temple
,
and
then
An
handfull
of
Corne
shall
be
in
the
earth
,
euen
in
the
top
●f
the
mountaines
,
and
the
fruit
thereof
shall
shake
like
the
trees
of
Libanus
,
and
the
children
shall
flourish
out
of
the
Citie
like
grasse
.
What
is
this
handfull
of
Come
,
which
shall
be
in
the
dayes
of
Christ
?
for
the
words
of
that
Psalme
concerne
him
,
and
his
dayes
,
and
said
to
be
in
the
top
of
the
mountaine
:
let
that
Sermon
in
the
mountaine
be
it
;
yet
what
is
the
mountaine
of
the
Church
,
if
not
the
Pulpit
,
the
highest
place
of
the
Church
?
and
what
more
answereth
to
an
handfull
of
Corne
,
then
the
Preachers
Text
:
for
the
seede
the
Sower
sowed
,
was
the
word
of
God
.
And
when
this
handfull
which
The
Kingdome
of
Christ
is
knowledge
and
aboundance
of
knowledge
,
as
it
is
said
by
the
Prophet
,
that
in
the
dayes
of
Christ
,
knowledge
shall
abound
,
euen
as
waters
vpon
the
sea
:
And
who
is
he
that
is
a
man
of
grauity
,
and
wisedom
,
but
that
he
will
say
it
is
a
glorious
sight
,
and
a
glorious
Church
built
of
liuely
stones
,
to
see
men
and
women
of
all
degrees
;
and
youthes
of
all
ages
,
come
into
the
Church
with
their
Bibles
,
and
Psalme-bookes
,
to
heare
the
Word
,
and
to
sing
Psalmes
,
and
praises
to
the
glory
of
our
God
?
These
acts
would
become
the
greatest
Emperour
in
the
world
.
It
is
said
of
Charles
the
great
,
that
he
sung
in
the
Church
:
But
what
neede
I
speake
of
an
Emperour
?
Christ
our
offer
the
Calues
of
their
lips
:
but
to
offer
prayers
by
telling
of
prayers
which
they
vnderstand
not
,
be
they
not
lips
of
Calues
and
not
of
men
?
It
is
said
of
a
Philosopher
,
that
hee
neuer
laughed
but
once
,
and
that
was
when
hee
saw
an
Asse
so
gingerly
to
eate
a
thistle
:
I
suppose
he
would
haue
laughed
once
more
to
see
a
man
like
a
great
boy
,
to
stand
with
a
payre
of
Beads
at
his
girdle
,
and
to
take
them
with
great
deuotion
to
tell
prayers
in
a
tongue
he
vnderstandeth
not
.
But
I
will
follow
these
matters
of
the
Church
no
farther
,
but
will
come
to
the
second
part
of
my
Text
,
which
is
in
these
words
,
And
to
him
that
ordereth
his
waies
aright
,
But
to
bring
in
this
second
part
,
I
must
set
downe
a
common
Church
for
vs
Christians
like
the
Temple
of
the
Iewes
whereunto
all
resorted
,
of
all
Sects
and
of
all
manners
;
Pharises
,
with
their
Leuen
,
Saduces
denying
the
Resurrection
:
with
sinners
of
all
sorts
,
none
accepted
but
the
vncircumcised
:
vpon
this
confuse
mixture
in
the
worshippers
in
one
house
commeth
in
that
question
.
Lord
who
shall
dwell
in
thy
Tabernacle
?
who
shall
rest
in
thy
holy
hill
?
The
like
is
here
,
though
not
proposed
in
a
question
but
affirmatiuely
set
downe
,
as
to
him
that
ordereth
his
waies
aright
,
I
will
shew
the
saluation
of
God
.
God
is
glorified
in
his
house
,
when
in
it
common
praises
be
offered
vnto
him
,
but
the
saluation
of
God
shall
not
bee
shewed
but
vnto
him
that
ordereth
his
waies
aright
.
I
must
deuise
such
a
Church
that
all
must
come
into
,
And
what
need
I
say
deuise
a
Church
,
I
know
where
I
stand
,
and
before
whom
I
speake
at
the
Assifes
:
But
my
deuised
Church
is
none
other
then
the
Church
of
England
as
now
it
is
,
which
hath
in
it
foure
principall
notes
,
Authenticall
and
Catholike
to
the
designing
of
such
a
Church
,
And
they
vnresistable
truths
,
as
these
.
There
shall
be
no
Images
in
the
Church
to
be
worshiped
;
This
is
agreeable
to
the
second
Commandement
,
so
euidently
practised
by
the
Iewes
,
that
you
need
not
inquire
whether
they
worshipped
any
:
for
in
their
Sinagogues
,
as
in
their
Temple
they
had
no
Images
to
be
worshipped
:
that
their
Prophets
may
freely
speake
against
Images
as
it
appeareth
in
the
Prophesies
committed
vnto
them
by
a
certaine
relation
from
the
holy
Ghost
.
This
continued
to
this
day
:
They
cannot
without
great
offence
giuen
of
Christians
,
to
see
that
second
Commandement
put
out
of
their
Catechisme
,
and
the
worship
of
Images
grossely
practised
euery
where
.
The
second
thing
is
,
that
the
whole
Church-Seruice
shall
be
in
their
mother
Tongue
as
we
say
,
that
is
knowne
vnto
them
:
For
Saint
Paul
as
in
a
matter
of
great
absurdity
,
asketh
the
question
when
on
blesseth
in
the
Spirit
,
how
shall
he
that
occupieth
the
roome
of
the
vnlearned
,
say
,
Amen
.
at
the
giuing
of
thankes
?
seeing
he
knoweth
The
third
is
concerning
the
Lords
supper
:
that
it
bee
giuen
and
receaued
vnder
both
the
kindes
:
euen
of
Bread
and
also
of
Wine
alike
consecrated
:
For
who
can
deny
that
our
Sauiour
did
not
so
institute
it
,
and
said
,
Doe
this
as
oft
as
you
doe
it
in
remembrance
of
me
:
and
so
deliuered
it
vnto
Saint
Paul
,
that
it
might
in
that
manner
be
administred
in
the
Church
.
This
to
be
obserued
is
necessary
to
be
required
,
that
in
a
matter
of
so
great
importance
there
may
be
no
defect
in
the
Church
.
The
fourth
is
,
that
there
be
proposed
but
one
true
and
liuing
God
to
receaue
the
prayer
,
and
for
Mediator
none
but
our
Sauiour
the
Sonne
of
God
;
as
Saint
Paul
euen
in
that
place
where
he
appointeth
for
the
Church
supplications
and
prayers
to
be
made
in
it
,
and
saith
,
There
is
but
one
God
and
one
Mediator
betweene
God
and
man
,
the
man
Christ
Iesus
who
gaue
himselfe
a
ransome
for
vs
.
No
person
of
the
blessed
Trinity
,
but
may
haue
inuocation
euen
in
the
Church
:
but
Saints
(
whosoeuer
)
are
no
mediators
for
that
place
:
For
I
will
say
as
Saint
Paul
saith
in
a
smaller
matter
,
They
were
neither
crucified
for
vs
,
nor
wee
baptized
in
their
name
.
This
is
the
Church
,
and
so
deuised
,
that
to
contradict
this
Church
,
if
Gouernours
of
people
shall
persecute
their
Subiects
,
if
they
will
not
worship
Imager
,
nor
haue
their
Church
Seruice
in
an
vnknowne
tongue
,
not
receaue
in
one
kinde
,
nor
admit
more
Mediators
then
Christ
,
they
are
execated
and
indurated
,
blinded
in
their
vnderstanding
,
and
hardned
in
their
hearts
:
On
the
contrary
side
,
if
Gouernours
shall
not
tollerate
any
to
say
,
we
will
worship
Images
,
haue
our
Seruice
in
the
Latine
tongue
,
though
not
vnderstood
of
vs
,
and
will
but
vnder
one
kinde
receaue
at
the
Communion
,
and
will
haue
more
Mediators
then
one
:
If
by
the
seuerity
of
their
powers
they
compell
them
to
come
into
this
vndoubted
Catholike
Church
,
they
shall
doe
it
cleerely
with
a
good
conscience
.
There
was
one
named
Apelles
as
it
appeareth
in
the
Ecclesiasticall
Histories
,
who
was
of
this
opinion
,
That
Euseb.
l.
5.
c.
12.
Doctrines
were
not
to
be
inquired
after
,
but
euery
one
to
abide
as
he
hath
beleeued
,
and
euery
man
to
be
saued
that
beleeueth
in
Christ
Crucified
,
so
that
hee
be
found
in
good
Workes
.
This
opinion
was
holden
for
erronious
,
and
so
it
is
.
For
albeit
Pharises
and
Saduces
came
into
the
Church
or
Temple
altogether
,
yet
our
Sauiour
spake
vehemently
against
the
Pharesie
,
denouncing
a
Woe
vnto
them
:
and
There
are
two
sorts
of
men
,
which
professe
Recusancie
against
this
Church
,
which
in
respect
of
these
foure
points
,
I
dare
affirme
to
be
Apostolike
,
and
a
true
Catholike
Church
:
the
one
beareth
the
name
of
a
Recusant
:
the
other
is
called
a
Separatist
.
I
make
to
my selfe
some
difference
betweene
them
,
as
the
other
an
Aduersary
in
doctrines
of
Faith
;
this
agreeing
in
doctrine
,
but
discontented
with
the
Ceremonies
of
our
Church
.
But
notwithstanding
the
other
dislike
of
doctrines
,
and
this
man
distaste
our
Ceremonies
:
why
shall
not
both
of
them
,
come
to
a
common
Church
where
there
will
bee
common
Prayers
,
Supplications
,
Thankes-giuing
for
the
King
and
for
the
Kingdome
,
with
other
necessities
,
for
the
affaires
of
men
,
in
occupying
on
the
Seas
and
on
the
Eearth
?
The
God
is
common
to
both
,
the
Mediator
common
to
both
,
yea
the
Lords
Supper
as
common
to
both
,
as
Baptisme
is
common
:
The
Recusant
Papist
being
with
vs
a
professed
Christian
,
differeth
not
from
vs
in
ciuility
of
life
,
vertues
and
good
workes
:
The
maine
point
of
these
separations
is
only
Scriptures
,
and
only
Christ
,
two
matters
of
great
importance
:
let
them
grant
that
the
Scriptures
are
only
the
tryall
for
matter
of
Saluation
tending
to
eternall
life
,
which
thing
the
Iewes
sought
in
them
as
our
Sauiour
affirmeth
,
and
withall
make
Christ
the
only
Mediator
;
Who
shall
dwell
in
thy
Tabernacle
,
and
who
shall
rest
in
thy
holy
hill
?
Whereunto
answer
is
made
,
He
that
walketh
vprightly
and
worketh
righteousnesse
,
so
I
will
make
the
like
question
:
to
whom
will
he
shew
the
saluation
of
God
?
And
answer
shall
bee
to
him
that
ordereth
his
wayes
aright
.
In
the
Hebrew
it
is
,
to
him
that
shall
put
his
wayes
.
And
I
will
make
to
bee
,
putting
his
way
into
a
vow
;
And
so
it
shall
answer
to
that
which
succeedeth
the
burnt
offerings
,
and
said
,
Offer
vnto
God
praise
and
pay
thy
vowes
vnto
the
most
High
.
For
there
is
no
way
better
then
to
put
our
wayes
into
a
vow
:
into
which
order
of
proceeding
,
the
English
Church
falleth
aright
:
For
the
childe
at
the
baptisme
putteth
his
waies
into
a
vow
:
and
when
he
commath
to
bee
Catechised
he
is
asked
of
it
,
and
he
answereth
,
that
they
did
promise
and
vow
three
things
in
my
name
,
meaning
Godfathers
and
Godmothers
,
whom
otherwise
wee
call
Witnesses
.
And
now
our
waies
are
put
into
vowes
,
they
are
debts
,
and
answer
to
that
in
the
Lords
prayer
,
where
we
are
willed
to
craue
that
our
heauenly
Father
would
forgiue
vs
our
debts
,
for
what
foolishnesse
were
it
to
vnderstand
our
vowes
to
be
other
,
then
those
that
are
specified
in
our
baptisme
,
which
are
diligently
to
be
marked
,
as
to
forsake
the
Diuell
and
all
his
workes
,
the
pompes
also
and
vanities
of
this
wicked
world
,
and
the
sinfull
lusts
of
the
flesh
,
to
beleeue
the
articles
of
the
faith
,
and
generally
to
keepe
Gods
commandements
.
Who
but
a
Papist
would
expound
in
triuiall
matters
?
And
to
draw
to
the
application
of
the
matter
,
Iohn
Baptist
was
the
first
that
began
the
Ministerie
of
our
new
Testament
,
and
applyed
vnto
himselfe
,
out
of
the
Prophet
Esay
his
office
to
be
a
Crier
in
the
Wildernesse
;
saying
,
Prepare
yee
the
wayes
of
the
Lord
,
make
his
pathes
straight
,
euery
valley
shall
be
filled
,
and
euery
mountaine
shall
be
brought
lowe
,
and
the
crooked
shall
be
made
straight
,
and
the
rough
waies
shall
bee
made
smoothe
.
How
manifestly
doth
this
of
the
Psalme
of
ordering
of
wayes
proceed
,
so
confirmed
by
a
Prophet
,
and
executed
by
Iohn
Baptist
more
then
a
Prophet
.
And
that
we
may
thinke
that
these
,
were
not
words
without
deeds
&
a
practise
accordingly
,
it
may
well
appeare
by
the
successe
that
Iohn
Baptist
his
preaching
had
:
for
it
fell
right
into
the
ordering
of
waies
in
such
sort
,
that
particular
persons
one
by
one
enquired
of
him
how
to
order
their
wayes
?
The
people
(
and
they
no
doubt
the
common
people
)
came
vnto
him
,
and
asked
of
him
what
shall
wee
doe
then
?
and
he
answereth
vnto
them
and
saith
,
hee
that
hath
two
coats
let
him
impart
to
him
that
hath
none
,
and
hee
that
hath
meat
let
him
doe
likewise
.
Then
came
also
the
Publicans
to
be
Baptized
and
said
vnto
him
,
Master
what
shall
we
doe
?
And
he
said
vnto
them
,
aske
no
more
then
that
which
is
appointed
you
.
And
the
soldiours
likewise
demaunded
of
him
saying
,
and
what
shall
wee
doe
?
and
hee
said
vnto
them
doe
violence
to
no
man
,
neither
accuse
any
man
falsely
,
and
be
content
with
your
wages
.
And
by
these
we
may
make
a
rule
for
others
,
as
no
doubt
he
did
:
Who
did
the
like
to
Herod
,
rebuking
him
for
keeping
his
brothers
the
true
worshippers
must
worship
the
Father
in
spirit
and
in
truth
,
in
offring
vp
our
bodies
in
a
true
rep●ntance
,
and
holy
sacrifice
vnto
God
.
If
the
Apostles
had
medled
with
lawes
of
carnall
commandements
,
they
had
transgressed
the
rule
:
therefore
they
meddle
not
with
any
thing
,
but
with
matters
of
truth
,
in
squaring
out
duties
for
subiects
to
their
Magistrates
and
high
powers
with
reciprocall
duties
betweene
husband
and
wife
,
father
,
childe
,
Master
,
seruant
:
And
generally
this
to
be
Gods
Commandement
,
to
beleeue
in
the
name
of
his
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
and
to
loue
one
another
as
he
hath
commanded
.
If
this
method
had
heene
continued
betweene
Pastor
and
Flocke
:
the
new
Testament
had
beene
alwaies
seene
in
his
true
colours
:
which
afterwards
by
the
Church
of
Rome
was
bedawbed
with
golden
,
but
vnkinde
and
vnnaturall
ceremonies
.
Notwithstanding
the
Primitiue
Church
kept
his
matter
of
ordering
of
waies
a
long
time
:
And
to
giue
you
a
view
thereof
I
will
bee
so
bold
,
as
to
deuide
this
Auditorie
into
these
particular
estates
;
As
here
are
honourable
Iudges
,
Iustices
of
peace
,
Counsellors
at
law
,
Gentlemen
,
Soldiours
,
Merchants
,
Handycrafts-men
,
and
Husbandmen
:
For
the
Iudges
(
such
honourable
and
wise
persons
)
I
will
say
no
more
then
God
blesse
them
,
and
of
the
rest
I
cannot
in
so
short
a
time
speake
particularly
;
But
that
generally
somewhat
may
be
said
of
Waies
,
I
will
take
out
two
,
which
in
the
primitiue
Church
were
in
some
question
concerning
their
waies
:
those
are
the
Merchant
,
and
the
Soldiour
.
The
Merchant
was
called
into
question
as
not
hauing
the
right
course
of
a
trade
,
because
hee
is
nothing
laborious
as
others
are
,
but
easie
,
selling
whole
sale
,
of
no
action
,
neither
in
hand
or
in
speech
:
for
properly
that
is
a
trade
,
which
getteth
gaine
by
his
labour
,
and
after
gayning
,
returneth
still
to
his
labour
:
as
the
Handycraftsman
maketh
his
worke
,
gayneth
,
and
returneth
to
his
worke
againe
;
so
the
Plowman
soweth
and
reapeth
and
returneth
to
the
Plow
againe
:
so
vocations
of
words
;
haue
their
gaines
,
and
their
returnes
to
labour
againe
.
For
it
was
said
to
Adam
,
in
the
sweat
of
thy
face
shalt
thou
eate
bread
,
till
thou
returne
to
the
earth
,
for
out
of
it
wast
thou
taken
,
because
thou
art
dust
,
and
to
dust
thou
shalt
returne
.
Notwithstanding
this
question
of
the
Merchant
was
not
alike
defined
,
but
men
of
good
iudgement
dissented
:
and
I
suppose
that
Iohn
Baptist
would
not
haue
made
any
exception
against
him
who
excluded
not
the
Publican
,
neither
is
the
Merchant
an
idle
man
,
but
much
occupied
,
and
looketh
vp
vnto
the
heauens
to
haue
successe
and
blessing
from
God
.
You
may
say
that
rather
they
might
haue
made
exception
against
him
whom
I
named
a
Gentleman
:
vnto
that
I
answer
,
that
our
kinde
of
Gentlemen
,
were
not
extant
in
their
dayes
:
But
I
will
helpe
to
admonish
them
to
take
heed
,
that
that
which
is
in
the
booke
of
Wisdome
be
farre
from
them
,
as
to
say
of
the
pleasures
and
pastimes
of
this
life
,
this
is
our
portion
,
this
is
our
lott
:
Remember
what
Abraham
said
to
his
sonne
being
in
hell
torments
,
Thou
in
thy
life
time
receiuedst
thy
good
things
.
As
for
the
Soldiour
,
the
exception
against
him
was
,
not
to
be
receaued
into
the
ministerie
of
the
Word
.
But
there
are
more
kindes
of
trades
,
and
one
there
is
not
so
easie
to
be
condemned
:
because
the
Law
is
to
be
the
ground
of
his
action
;
but
he
is
so
often
in
law
,
that
he
is
lesse
in
charitie
,
and
filleth
whole
parishes
with
vncharitablenesse
.
To
discribe
him
,
I
must
borrow
a
tearme
from
the
common
Law
,
which
may
bee
,
comprehendeth
not
so
generally
these
kinde
of
trades
:
But
the
tearme
is
a
Common
Barretor
:
With
these
kinde
of
men
no
trespasses
must
be
taken
vp
by
neighbours
and
bretheren
,
in
one
faith
and
one
Church
:
but
all
must
be
tryed
by
law
:
that
the
offender
if
he
refuse
that
tryall
,
must
redeeme
his
peace
with
a
great
price
.
This
trade
is
so
violent
,
so
hurtfull
,
and
such
a
cunning
extortion
,
that
our
Sauiour
both
remembreth
it
,
and
giueth
counsell
to
his
Disciples
,
saying
,
If
any
man
will
sue
thee
at
the
law
,
and
take
away
thy
coat
,
let
him
haue
thy
cloake
also
.
If
therefore
Christs
Disciple
must
deliuer
coate
and
cloake
,
whose
Disciple
is
he
that
taketh
them
?
There
is
an
other
Tradesman
,
if
wee
may
call
him
a
tradesman
;
I
meane
the
Vsurer
,
tollerated
in
Common-wealths
,
the
saluation
of
God
,
when
in
the
old
Testament
He
shall
not
dwell
in
the
holy
hill
.
In
this
thing
they
are
both
a
censured
euill
,
by
the
word
of
God
,
and
an
euill
end
will
be
the
encrease
of
riches
in
their
great
abundance
to
them
that
vse
it
.
The
abundance
of
riches
so
blindeth
his
iudgement
,
that
he
seeth
no
euill
,
but
thinkes
that
he
hath
God
by
the
finger
,
when
he
hath
the
diuell
by
the
fist
.
In
the
olde
Law
one
might
not
lend
in
Vsurie
to
his
brother
according
to
the
flesh
,
and
may
he
now
lend
to
his
brother
according
to
the
spirit
?
Let
the
Preachers
of
the
Word
,
and
deuiders
of
the
Word
take
heede
least
while
they
teach
some
vsuries
small
,
that
they
may
be
done
:
they
by
so
teaching
and
so
doing
,
become
least
in
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
:
Let
the
Disciple
hearken
vnto
his
Master
,
and
heare
Christ
saying
;
If
ye
loue
me
keepe
my
commandements
.
A
Lawyer
being
asked
concerning
Arrests
,
he
shall
not
dwell
in
the
holy
hill
.
And
to
speake
somewhat
of
Arresting
on
the
Sabaoth
day
:
whereby
I
say
,
our
wayes
are
not
ordered
aright
:
how
can
that
be
good
in
the
law
of
any
Common-weale
,
that
breaketh
any
one
of
the
ten
Commandements
?
the
ten
Commandements
,
are
not
very
subtill
,
hard
to
be
discerned
,
but
grosse
,
euen
the
law
of
nature
.
Let
vs
put
a
God
,
(
and
what
Nation
doth
not
put
it
)
no
lesse
can
be
then
to
haue
one
set
day
to
worship
in
.
Breake
that
day
so
commanded
,
and
where
then
is
our
Religion
?
To
put
out
his
day
,
and
to
set
out
another
,
would
require
good
warrant
:
Put
,
breake
this
,
and
to
put
in
no
other
will
be
irreligion
.
The
Sabaoth
day
to
be
kept
holy
,
should
be
accounted
,
though
not
so
expressed
in
statute
,
yet
necessary
in
his
vnderstanding
;
but
he
vsurpeth
another
Phrase
as
Arrests
to
be
good
,
any
commandement
from
God
notwithstanding
:
and
so
a
priuate
man
will
make
iudgement
,
for
the
whole
Kingdome
.
Is
it
not
breaking
of
an
holy
Sabaoth
day
,
to
doe
occupations
of
the
world
on
the
Sabaoth
day
,
as
to
Cart
and
Plow
?
and
is
it
nothing
to
vse
violence
,
and
to
draw
to
prison
,
the
Iaylor
to
attend
,
Scriuener
to
be
called
for
,
Obligations
to
be
made
,
money
to
be
payed
?
Iudge
righteous
iudgement
,
shew
not
Art
of
Law
in
the
lawes
of
men
against
the
law
of
God
.
There
is
a
Prophesie
in
the
Scripture
concerning
the
Church
of
Christ
,
as
that
the
Wolfe
shall
dwell
with
the
Lambe
,
and
the
Leopard
shall
be
with
the
Kid
,
and
the
Calfe
,
and
the
Lyon
,
and
the
fat
beasts
together
,
and
a
little
Childe
shall
leade
them
:
What
are
these
beasts
,
but
men
of
diuers
natures
which
haue
subscribed
to
the
faith
and
Religion
of
Christ
?
some
proud
and
haughty
in
minde
,
strong
,
and
by
nature
rauenous
,
fat
some
in
the
pleasures
of
this
life
,
and
in
the
abundance
of
wealth
;
others
meeke
,
gentle
,
poore
and
miserable
:
and
who
is
this
Childe
that
doth
leade
them
vp
and
downe
to
their
pastures
and
feeding
in
the
word
,
but
that
Minister
and
Preacher
of
the
Word
?
in
respect
of
such
a
great
worke
,
as
a
Childe
weake
and
simple
,
yet
ordereth
their
wayes
:
And
when
the
common
Barretor
and
his
neighbour
,
the
Vsurer
and
his
Captiue
shall
sit
before
the
Childe
,
in
one
Church
,
if
not
in
one
Pew
,
the
common
Barretor
shall
learne
a
lesson
of
peace
,
charity
,
and
the
Vsurer
taught
mercie
:
and
his
Debtor
learne
to
borrow
and
pay
againe
.
Shall
the
borrower
be
as
an
excommunicate
person
,
for
a
miserie
that
may
be
could
not
be
auoided
?
and
shall
God
leese
his
right
,
because
man
will
haue
his
?
destruction
and
ruine
is
prophesied
,
to
that
place
where
man
is
preferred
before
God
.
If
it
be
said
that
if
we
loue
not
our
brother
whom
wee
see
▪
how
will
we
loue
God
whom
we
see
not
?
Let
these
cruell
men
haue
their
brethren
brought
into
a
place
,
that
they
may
see
them
to
make
experience
if
loue
of
brother
be
in
them
,
if
not
,
how
then
the
loue
of
God
?
The
conclusion
of
these
shall
be
,
take
heede
of
this
generall
Assise
Psalme
;
saying
,
What
hast
thou
to
doe
to
declare
mine
ordinances
,
that
thou
shouldest
take
my
couenant
in
thy
mouth
,
seeing
thou
hatest
to
be
reformed
,
and
hast
cast
my
words
behinde
thee
?
Our
Sauiour
saith
,
Light
is
come
into
the
world
:
but
men
loue
darknesse
more
then
light
.
For
euery
one
that
doth
euill
hateth
the
light
,
neither
commeth
to
the
light
,
least
his
deedes
should
be
reproued
.
But
he
that
doth
the
truth
,
commeth
,
to
the
light
,
that
his
deedes
may
be
manifest
,
that
they
are
wrought
in
God
.
It
is
no
small
inducement
for
men
,
to
runne
to
the
Popish
Religion
,
because
there
is
to
be
had
,
this
ordering
of
wayes
very
particularly
,
like
as
it
was
done
by
Iohn
Baptist
,
when
they
came
to
be
baptized
of
him
,
confessing
their
sinnes
:
euen
at
an
auricular
confession
to
doe
it
,
a
grace
if
it
be
a
grace
,
not
to
be
had
with
vs
will
be
a
defect
:
I
cannot
denie
,
but
that
it
is
an
ordering
,
but
not
an
ordering
aright
of
the
wayes
of
Christians
.
For
that
ordering
is
cursorie
after
this
manner
;
A
deputed
Priest
for
that
purpose
,
a
most
particular
enumeration
and
telling
of
sinnes
,
pennance
proportionably
enioyned
,
and
absolution
administred
.
To
examine
these
in
order
as
they
are
set
downe
,
The
first
a
Priest
Deputed
for
Confessions
:
And
where
in
the
new
Testament
is
this
Deputed
Priest
?
Is
it
euery
Priest
?
St.
Iames
albeit
he
had
said
,
If
any
man
be
sicke
,
let
him
call
the
Presbiters
,
Elders
or
Priests
,
as
they
will
haue
it
:
to
pray
ouer
the
sicke
person
,
and
to
annoint
him
:
yet
in
the
very
next
verse
,
speaking
of
Confessions
of
sinnes
or
faults
,
saith
:
Confesse
one
to
another
sinnes
or
faults
,
neither
doth
he
will
the
Priest
to
enioyne
it
,
but
biddeth
the
Christians
one
to
another
to
confesse
sinnes
:
And
if
it
be
but
to
pray
one
for
another
,
that
Act
is
not
onely
for
Priests
,
but
common
with
euery
Christian
:
and
it
is
not
absolue
one
another
,
but
pray
one
for
another
,
that
they
may
be
healed
:
And
the
prayer
is
of
a
iust
man
,
but
onely
Priests
are
not
iust
.
And
for
the
second
point
,
which
is
so
particular
an
enumeration
and
telling
of
sinnes
,
this
I
will
say
,
that
the
deuising
of
questions
about
the
breaking
of
the
ten
Commandements
,
by
the
Confessor
,
is
worthy
the
reading
,
that
we
may
see
the
multitudes
of
trespasses
and
offences
for
our
instruction
:
And
farther
,
to
helpe
euen
for
the
amendment
of
things
in
our
soule
much
amisse
:
but
the
confession
of
a
crime
and
haynous
fault
,
how
can
it
be
repeated
?
I
haue
read
it
in
a
printed
confession
booke
after
this
manner
.
That
since
I
was
at
Confession
,
or
as
the
words
are
,
first
I
acknowledge
my selfe
guilty
vnto
Almighty
God
,
vnto
our
Lady
St.
Marie
,
and
to
all
the
Company
of
heauen
,
and
to
you
my
ghostly
father
,
that
sith
the
time
of
my
last
Confession
I
haue
offended
my
Lord
God
greeuously
,
and
specially
in
the
seauen
deadly
sinnes
:
and
comming
to
the
ten
Commaundements
,
he
saith
:
I
haue
sinned
fleshly
with
person
that
beene
wedded
,
and
other
moe
,
and
more
would
,
if
I
might
haue
had
time
and
place
.
Such
a
Confession
had
neede
to
be
auricular
,
tolde
in
the
Priests
eares
,
and
kept
close
.
But
what
pennance
shall
be
set
out
for
such
a
man
?
The
saying
is
,
Hee
that
will
not
pay
it
in
his
body
,
must
pay
it
in
his
purse
.
And
will
that
be
an
ordering
of
wayes
?
And
shall
hee
be
thus
absolued
from
time
to
time
?
then
will
it
not
be
washing
a
Sow
that
walloweth
in
the
mire
.
You
Papists
say
,
that
our
Religion
is
an
easie
Religion
,
you
meane
because
you
fast
often
in
abstaining
from
eating
of
flesh
(
for
that
is
all
)
you
taske
your selues
with
Prayers
,
and
vndergoe
penancies
:
but
if
this
ordering
of
wayes
bee
your
Religion
,
your
Religion
will
bee
the
easier
Religion
;
for
it
is
easier
to
mortifie
the
flesh
,
then
to
mortifie
the
deedes
of
the
flesh
:
you
call
it
the
Sacrament
of
penance
;
if
penance
be
the
Sacrament
,
you
will
deceiue
the
more
persons
laden
with
sinne
:
and
to
thinke
themselues
lighted
of
the
burthen
of
sinne
,
when
sinne
still
from
time
to
time
ladeth
them
.
Speake
plainly
,
●nd
say
it
is
repentance
,
and
forgiuenesse
is
the
Sacrament
,
as
our
Sauiour
saith
to
vs
Preachers
,
setting
downe
our
Commission
.
Thus
it
is
written
,
and
thus
it
behooued
Christ
to
suffer
,
and
to
rise
againe
the
third
day
,
and
that
repentance
and
forgiuenesse
of
sinnes
should
be
preached
in
his
name
among
all
Nations
,
beginning
at
Hierusalem
.
But
you
translate
the
word
repentance
by
the
word
penance
:
saying
,
Christ
said
,
that
penance
should
be
preached
.
And
from
whence
haue
you
this
word
penance
?
is
it
from
thence
that
your
Latine
Translation
saith
,
Agite
paenitentiam
?
but
how
dissolutely
do
you
abuse
the
grauity
of
the
Translator
?
For
when
he
meant
to
speake
home
,
as
wee
say
,
and
to
the
purpose
,
translateth
doe
repentance
,
answerable
to
our
conuertion
,
and
ordering
our
wayes
aright
,
according
to
the
Hebrew
and
Greeke
:
you
Translate
him
in
your
English
by
your
Confessors
tearmes
as
doe
pennance
:
But
to
returne
from
speaking
any
more
to
them
;
the
truth
is
,
the
ordering
of
wayes
must
be
done
by
an
effectuall
repentance
,
euen
a
turning
from
our
euill
wayes
,
that
wee
may
be
found
alwayes
in
sinnes
great
and
lesse
,
well
tolde
euen
by
a
Confessors
booke
,
to
bee
vpon
the
mending
hand
.
This
is
published
in
our
Common
prayer
,
where
repentance
and
forgiuenesse
are
ioyned
in
our
absolution
:
the
application
of
which
absolution
we
leaue
to
the
conscience
of
all
hearers
as
they
repent
:
and
not
to
be
a
Sacramentall
donation
or
graunt
to
any
that
repenteth
not
.
And
this
is
the
ordering
of
wayes
in
our
Church
,
where
truthes
should
bee
,
not
deceptions
and
falshoods
.
Repentance
must
bring
in
the
absolution
,
not
any
Sacrament
,
no
not
those
two
noble
Sacraments
of
Baptisme
and
the
Lords
Supper
,
will
with
vs
absolue
an
vnrepentant
sinner
:
vnlesse
you
apply
them
to
Infants
,
vnto
whom
knowledg●
of
repentance
is
not
yet
come
.
And
now
we
may
see
why
the
Church
is
rid
from
the
law
of
carnall
commaundements
,
which
were
to
some
but
clokes
for
their
hypocrisie
,
to
all
,
burthens
hard
to
beare
:
for
all
commaund●ments
of
God
must
be
kept
;
albeit
they
be
carnall
rights
,
and
therfore
the
not
sleeping
sinne
and
transgression
worthy
of
an
expiation
and
an
attonement
:
and
now
in
the
new
Testament
the
Church
seruice
easie
,
as
he
that
offereth
prayses
glorifieth
God
:
so
God
himselfe
saying
.
But
when
we
come
to
this
second
point
,
which
is
ordering
of
wayes
:
then
wee
are
come
to
that
straight
gate
,
that
leadeth
to
eternal
life
:
into
which
few
enter
,
and
thereby
true
that
many
are
called
but
few
chosen
.
St.
Iames
saith
,
In
many
things
we
offend
all
of
vs
.
And
St.
Iohn
will
not
Come
to
me
all
yee
that
are
we
arie
,
and
laden
,
and
I
will
ease
you
,
take
my
yoke
on
you
,
and
learne
of
me
that
I
am
meeke
and
lowly
in
heart
,
and
yee
shall
finde
rest
for
your
soules
,
for
mine
yoake
is
easie
,
and
my
burthen
is
light
.
These
words
no
doubt
are
spoken
vnto
them
that
labour
in
conuerting
and
turning
still
from
this
,
and
that
euill
way
euen
as
men
wearied
:
finding
the
burthen
still
heauie
.
And
this
my
Text
will
haue
a
good
correspondencie
,
and
will
answere
well
to
that
our
Sauiour
his
voyce
;
and
that
it
is
said
in
my
Text
,
that
wee
must
order
our
wayes
aright
:
and
it
commeth
in
after
this
manner
:
And
vnto
him
that
ordereth
his
wayes
aright
,
I
will
shew
the
saluation
of
God
.
This
shewing
of
Gods
saluation
,
is
the
third
part
of
my
Sermon
,
and
maketh
my
worke
a
perfect
worke
,
that
I
shall
by
Gods
grace
fulfill
my
promise
,
which
was
to
exhibit
the
Religion
of
Christ
perfectly
,
for
as
much
as
without
which
we
cannot
be
saued
.
For
vnlesse
when
I
will
speake
of
offering
praises
,
and
so
glorifying
God
,
I
bring
not
in
euery
one
of
those
three
persons
of
the
blessed
Trinity
;
God
will
be
vnperfectly
glorified
.
And
this
thing
is
ready
to
be
performed
in
these
words
,
which
are
,
I
will
shew
the
saluation
of
God
.
I
say
,
the
three
persons
are
here
ready
to
be
shewed
vs
.
For
who
is
he
that
can
shew
the
saluation
of
God
,
vnlesse
it
be
the
holy
Ghost
?
and
what
other
saluation
vnder
heauen
besides
Iesus
?
as
for
God
,
he
is
named
:
And
concerning
the
holy
Ghost
,
that
he
must
shew
the
saluation
,
it
is
easily
to
be
proued
,
because
the
saluation
is
such
a
thing
as
eye
neuer
saw
,
eare
neuer
heard
of
,
and
neuer
entred
into
the
heart
of
man
,
euen
Iesus
Christ
crucified
:
to
the
Iewes
a
stumbling
stone
,
to
the
Grecians
foolishnesse
.
Where
is
the
wise
?
where
is
the
Scribe
?
where
is
the
Disputer
of
this
world
?
by
Christ
crucified
,
God
hath
destroyed
the
wisedome
of
the
wise
,
and
hath
brought
to
nothing
the
vnderstanding
of
the
prudent
,
if
they
had
knowne
it
,
would
they
haue
crucified
the
Lord
of
glory
?
We
are
said
to
be
Ministers
of
the
Spirit
,
but
I
suppose
that
none
of
vs
will
say
,
that
wee
doe
minister
the
Spirit
but
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
none
can
say
that
Iesus
is
the
Lord
,
but
by
the
holy
Ghost
:
the
saluation
of
God
,
is
blinde
,
and
to
bee
holden
for
blinde
.
And
as
there
are
degrees
in
seeing
,
some
seeing
better
,
some
worse
;
so
Christ
crucified
,
to
be
The
saluation
of
God
,
is
better
seene
of
some
then
of
others
.
It
is
an
easie
matt●●
for
vs
to
shew
to
a
man
that
Christ
Iesus
is
the
saluation
of
GOD
,
if
shewing
bee
to
say
so
,
and
to
preach
so
,
but
to
bring
it
aright
into
the
heart
,
and
to
beleeue
with
my
vnderstanding
that
Iesus
dyed
for
our
sinnes
,
will
require
an
influence
of
the
holy
Ghost
.
There
is
great
difference
in
shewing
of
a
starre
,
if
it
were
to
be
shewed
betweene
an
Astrologer
,
and
a
Countriman
,
euen
about
the
Creation
of
the
world
,
as
if
the
Country-man
were
asked
whether
might
be
better
spared
,
his
Apple-tree
in
his
Orchard
,
or
one
of
the
little
Starres
in
the
Skie
?
It
may
be
it
would
not
bee
rightly
answered
,
we
are
so
earthly
;
and
therefore
dull
because
we
are
earthly
:
but
an
Astrologer
if
he
wete
to
shew
the
Stars
,
he
will
not
only
shew
it
according
to
his
situation
,
bignesse
,
motion
,
but
according
to
an
influence
it
hath
to
vs-ward
.
The
holy
Ghost
if
hee
shew
the
saluation
of
God
in
Christ
Iesus
,
he
will
shew
it
by
an
influence
in
vs
,
which
the
Astrologer
cannot
doe
,
and
by
that
influence
shew
an
influence
in
Christ
Iesus
to
vs-ward
,
both
for
Iustification
by
faith
,
and
Sanctification
by
a
new
birth
:
and
then
with
ioy
wee
shall
say
the
holy
Ghost
hath
shewed
vs
the
saluation
of
God
.
And
for
the
saluation
of
God
to
be
the
second
Person
in
the
Trinitie
as
no
Christian
will
denie
,
so
he
the
lesse
a
Christian
that
maketh
not
the
second
Person
in
the
Trinitie
all
the
saluation
of
God
.
As
here
he
is
named
,
because
a
time
appointed
would
come
,
when
we
should
readily
name
him
,
as
Saint
Peter
saith
,
Neither
is
there
saluation
in
any
other
,
for
there
is
none
other
name
●nder
heauen
giuen
among
men
,
whereby
wee
must
be
saued
.
In
the
old
Testament
it
is
said
,
Hearken
O
Israel
thy
God
is
one
God
.
To
vs
also
in
the
new
Testament
Christ
saith
,
Goe
yee
therefore
and
teach
all
nations
,
baptizing
them
in
the
name
of
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
.
And
Saint
Iohn
saith
,
There
are
three
that
beare
record
in
heauen
,
the
Father
,
the
Word
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
these
three
are
one
:
So
to
conclude
,
I
will
say
that
by
this
blessed
Trinitie
,
our
Religion
is
not
only
styled
,
but
confyned
:
beyond
these
three
Persons
we
must
not
goe
.
Angels
must
not
be
worshipped
,
neither
yet
any
Saint
:
yet
there
is
one
Saint
which
approacheth
neere
to
the
blessed
Trinitie
,
euen
the
Mother
of
Christ
in
a
right
as
it
were
,
that
she
was
his
Mother
,
though
hee
neuer
called
her
Mother
,
but
Woman
.
She
hath
matched
him
if
not
gone
beyond
him
in
Psalmes
,
Hymnes
,
and
prayers
:
This
iniurie
hath
beene
too
long
in
practise
,
but
now
I
suppose
it
is
come
to
the
highest
:
For
the
Iesuits
to
accomplish
the
iniury
done
vnto
Christ
,
first
nameth
himselfe
by
the
name
of
Iesus
:
yet
as
if
Iesus
were
but
a
Sonne
:
though
I
dare
say
,
they
thinke
not
that
Iesus
had
mo
bretheren
:
they
commend
their
societie
,
not
to
Iesus
but
to
the
Mother
,
as
their
Patronesse
and
Protectrix
.
A
braine-sicke
societie
,
who
will
not
say
?
(
As
lamentable
it
is
)
that
Bellarmine
that
great
Champion
concludeth
his
worke
with
,
praise
be
to
God
and
to
the
blessed
Virgin
the
Mother
?
leauing
out
the
Sonne
and
the
holy
Ghost
;
and
so
the
Papists
in
their
salutations
and
farewells
,
as
Midwiues
in
childe-birth
say
deuoutly
,
not
knowing
how
blasphemously
,
God
and
our
Lady
helpe
you
.
For
who
that
feareth
God
dare
ioyne
a
creature
with
God
the
Father
,
or
the
Sonne
of
the
Father
?
But
it
is
enough
,
to
point
at
these
things
for
this
time
.
My
speach
is
to
better
Christians
;
let
vs
offer
praise
,
that
God
may
be
glorified
:
And
notice
must
be
taken
of
that
which
followeth
:
euen
that
To
him
that
ordereth
his
way
aright
,
shall
bee
shewed
the
saluation
of
God
:
And
to
that
blessed
Trinitie
,
the
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
holy
Ghost
,
be
all
honour
,
praise
and
glory
,
now
and
euermore
.
Amen
.
FINIS
.
