Heauenly
Treasure

MATTHEW

19.
Lay
not
vp
Treasures
for
your selues
in
earth
,
where
the
Moth
and
Canker
corrupt
,
and
where
Theeues
digge
through
and
steale
.

But
lay
vp
for
your selues
Treasures
in
Heauen
,
where
neither
the
Moth
,
nor
Canker
corrupteth
,
and
where
Theeues
neither
dig
through
nor
steale
.
21
For
,
where
your
Treasure
is
,
there
will
your
hart
bee
also
.
OVr
Sauiour
Christ
hath
in
the
former
part
of
this
chapter
condemned
the
fond
affectation
of
Vaine-glory
as
the
onely
bane
and
poyson
of
all
good
actions
,
wherof
he
giueth
three
instances
:
The
one
in
giuing
of
Almes
:
The
other
in
Fasting
:
The
last
in
Prayer
▪
He
now
for
biddeth
worldlinesse
,
and
greedy
desire
of
earthly
things
,
as
dangerous
an
enemie
to
our
Saluation
,
&
no
lesse
a
staine
vnto
our
Christian
profession
,
as
the
former
.
Vaine-glory
and
Hypocrisie
as
a
burning
poyson
that
infecteth
and
inflameth
the
inward
parts
,
is
to
be
auoyded
,
yea
,
as
a
Theefe
that
robbeth
the
Almightie
of
his
glory
is
to
be
pursued
.
Greedy
Couetousnesse
or
worldlinesse
as
Thrones
that
choke
the
graces
of
Gods
Spirit
,
is
to
bee
plucked
vp
by
the
rootes
.
As
a
spirituall
Feuer
that
relisheth
no
goodnesse
,
but
distasteth
all
H●●uenly
and
Spirituall
things
,
is
to
bee
purged
and
taken
heed
of
,
yea
,
the
desire
of
riches
is
to
bee
auoyded
as
a
streame
both
deepe
and
swift
,
that
will
both
drowne
mens
soules
&
carry
them
quite
away
from
God
.
To
that
ende
Saint
Paul
saith
,
will
bee
rich
,
(
meaning
whether
God
will
or
no
,
or
before
the
time
that
God
hath
appointed
)
fall
into
many
noysome
and
foolish
lusts
,
which
drowne
men
in
perdition
and
destruction
,
to
shew
in
what
a
miserable
case
a
worldling
is
:
for
speak
to
a
drowned
man
,
smite
him
,
teach
him
,
and
cry
out
vnto
him
,
or
sound
a
Trumpet
in
his
Eare
,
and
he
heareth
not
,
he
feeleth
not
:
and
so
is
it
with
a
man
whose
hart
is
drowned
in
the
cares
of
this
World
,
and
loue
of
riches
.
And
yet
those
are
in
greatest
admiration
,
for
the
world
doth
not
onely
desire
to
be
hauing
more
still
,
but
doth
admire
those
that
haue
worldly
Treasures
.
Therefore
our
Sauiour
Christ
doth
warne
vs
of
that
gnawing
Worme
,
and
tels
vs
,
that
if
wee
bee
so
greedy
of
the
world
as
to
set
our
harts
vpon
it
,
we
loose
heauen
for
our
labo●●
.
And
therefore
wee
must
take
heed
how
wee
vse
this
world
:
for
Christ
would
teach
vs
how
to
vse
the
world
,
that
wee
bee
not
cousened
by
it
.
As
a
man
that
remooueth
to
another
place
to
abide
there
,
sendeth
his
stuffe
and
prouision
before
him
:
so
they
that
meane
to
remoue
hence
and
to
abide
in
Heauen
,
must
send
their
Treasure
thether
before
hand
,
by
relieuing
the
poor
,
and
helping
forward
other
holy
&
cha●●table
works
.
And
wheras
some
alledge
for
themselues
,
that
they
haue
had
great
losses
,
&c.
and
therefore
cannot
giue
any
thing
to
the
poore
,
or
other
holy
and
charitable
vses
,
they
must
know
that
they
haue
the
more
need
to
giue
,
and
to
bee
liberall
,
and
to
doe
good
with
that
they
haue
,
and
so
to
lay
vp
in
Heauen
,
when
the
World
goeth
from
them
,
or
else
they
will
bee
poore
both
here
and
there
too
.
Now
if
any
man
bee
desirous
to
know
whether
he
hath
any
treasure
in
heauen
or
no
,
let
him
take
this
course
:
First
,
let
him
see
what
it
is
that
doth
command
his
hart
:
and
next
what
doth
most
moue
him
,
and
touch
him
:
and
lastly
,
what
hee
taketh
most
delight
in
,
and
what
he
beateth
his
braine
about
most
:
and
if
the
matters
of
Heauen
and
Gods
Kingdome
doe
most
commaund
his
heart
,
and
occupy
his
head
,
and
delight
his
minde
,
then
his
Treasure
is
there
,
his
stuffe
is
sent
before
hand
to
the
place
whether
hee
intendeth
to
remoue
when
God
calleth
him
,
or
else
not
:
and
this
is
the
summe
of
Christs
words
and
holy
counsell
in
this
place
.
This
Text
hath
2.
parts
.
-
1.
A
Commandement
.
-
2.
A
reason
of
the
same
.
The
Commandement
hath
likewise
two
parts
.
The
first
is
Negatiue
in
Verse
19.
Lay
not
vp
Treasure
for
your selues
in
▪
earth
,
&c.
The
second
is
Affirmatiue
in
verse
20.
But
lay
vp
for
your selues
Treasure
in
Heauen
,
where
neither
the
Moth
,
&c.
The
Reason
is
in
Verse
.
21.
For
where
your
Treasure
is
,
there
will
your
hart
bee
also
.
As
touching
the
Negatiue
part
of
our
Sauiour
his
Precept
,
wee
are
to
vnderstand
that
his
manner
of
speaking
is
here
no
otherwise
then
in
other
places
,
and
other
cases
also
of
the
like
kinde
:
Labour
not
for
the
meate
that
perisheth
,
but
labour
for
the
meat
that
endureth
to
Eternall
Life
.
And
in
another
place
,
Sell
that
you
haue
,
and
giue
to
the
poore
.
Possesse
not
gold
nor
siluer
.
And
in
another
place
,
Be
not
carefull
what
to
eate
and
drinck
,
or
what
rayment
to
put
on
.
All
which
places
being
literally
taken
,
and
not
according
to
the
minde
and
meaning
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
may
breed
error
,
as
they
haue
done
:
for
from
hence
the
Anabaptists
fetch
their
communitie
of
goods
;
the
Monks
and
Fryers
their
wilfull
pouerty
;
and
the
Iesuits
hereupon
perswade
others
to
impouerish
themselues
to
enrich
them
:
And
lastly
,
vnder
the
shadow
of
these
words
:
the
slothfull
sluggard
,
&
idle
person
would
shrowd
themselues
,
to
bee
thereby
discharged
of
all
honest
labor
and
diligent
following
of
their
vocations
.
Therfore
first
the
true
meaning
of
the
words
is
to
be
sought
for
,
and
then
we
shall
the
better
vnderstand
what
do●trines
from
thence
may
bee
gathered
,
for
our
further
instruction
and
consolation
in
the
Lord.

things

Gold

and
laid
them
among
the
Treasures
of
the
house
of

thou

The
Kingdome
of
Heauen
is
like
vnto
a
Treasure

Sometime
it

A

man
out
of
the
good
Treasure
of
his
hart
,
or
abundance
of
good
things

Where

there

that

where
the

that
you

there

Eternall

heauenly
Treasure

Such
as
no
Eye
hath
seene
,
nor
Eare
hath
heard
▪
nor
haue
entered
into
the
hart
of
man
.
And
here
in
our
Text
such
as
Moths
cannot
eate
,
nor
Rust
consume
,
nor
Theeues
steale
,
that
is
,
they
are
not
subiect
to
any
kinde
of
casualtie
or
mischance
:
all
which
places
doe
rather
shew
what
it
is
not
,
then
what
it
is
,
for
indeed
it
is
God
himselfe
in
Christ
Iesus
,
which
cannot
bee
expressed
,
because
he
is
infinite
and
incomprehensible
.
Of
this
latter
it
is
not
that
hee
speaketh
,
when
hee
saith
Lay
not
vp
for
your selues
Treasures
in
earth
,
then
hee
must
needes
meane
the
former
.
But
what
?
doth
the
Lord
Iesus
meane
that
it
is
in
no
wise
lawfull
for
a
Christian
man
to
get
,
or
enioy
the
riches
of
this
world
?
not
so
,
for
in
Pro.
2.
4.
The
Children
ought
not
to
lay
vp
for
their
Fathers
,
but
Fathers
for
their
Children
.
And
hee
telleth
Timothy
,
that
hee
which
prouideth
not
for
his
familie
worse
than
an
Infidell
,
and
hath
denyed
the
faith
What
then
?
doth
hee
meane
that
all
must
bee
common
?
Not
so
neither
,
for
then
there
could
bee
no
breach
of
the
eight
Commaundement
if
any
man
did
steale
;
and
all
exhortations
and
precepts
of
distributing
to
the
poore
were
in
vaine
,
if
the
poore
might
bee
their
owne
caruers
of
rich
mens
goods
:
yea
,
what
should
then
become
of
buying
and
selling
?
Buy
the
Truth
but
sell
it
not
,
What
then
?
doth
hee
mean
that
we
must
sell
away
all
that
wee
haue
and
begge
for
our selues
,
as
Popish
Fryers
,
and
Monkish
Papists
would
haue
vs
to
doe
?
Not
so
neither
,
for
in
Luke
12.
33.
Sell
that
you
haue
ouerplus
,
and
may
well
spare
,
and
giue
to
the
poore
,
otherwise
we
should
loue
our
neighbours
not
as
our selues
,
but
aboue
our selues
,
which
God
neuer
required
.
And
better
it
is
for
a
man
to
keepe
his
goods
for
himselfe
,
than
to
bestow
them
vpon
idle
Monks
,
and
a
wicked
rabble
of
Fryerly
locusts
,
which
bee
as
necessarie
in
a
christian
Common-wealth
,
as
Snakes
in
a
mans
bosome
,
or
Mice
in
a
barne
full
of
Corne
.
What
then
?
doth
hee
meane
that
a
man
may
liue
idly
,
and
then
looke
to
be
maintained
by
others
?
Not
so
neither
,
for
the
Apostle
being
ruled
himselfe
by
the
spirit
of
Christ
,
hath
set
downe
a
Rule
for
such
irregular
persons
,
that
if
any
can
worke
and
will
not
,
such
should
not
eate
,
to
shew
that
idle
persons
are
inordinate
,
and
so
burdensome
to
a
Common-wealth
,
that
they
are
not
worthy
to
liue
,
but
to
bee
punished
by
the
most
cruell
death
that
●an
bee
,
and
that
is
to
bee
starued
and
pined
to
death
.
And
in
Pro.

the
sluggard
is
sent
by
the
holy
Ghost
to
the
Pismire
,
that
in
beholding
her
wayes
hee
might
learne
to
bee
wise
,
for
shee
hauing
no
guide
,
gouernour
nor
ruler
gathereth
her
meate
in
Summer
,
and
prepareth
her
foode
in
Haruest
,
to
shew
that
euen
by
honest
and
painefull
trauaile
men
should
prouide
in
Summer
against
the
hard
time
of
Winter
,
and
in
health
for
sicknesse
.
And
albeit
the
Lord
Iesus
saith
in
Ioh.
6
Labour
not
for
the
meate
that
perisheth
,
all
is
but
vanit●e
and
vexation
of
spirit
,
as
if
hee
should
say
,
moyle
not
,
vexe
not
,
weare
not
out
your selues
so
much
as
you
haue
done
about
the
world
,
to
the
loosing
of
your
heauenly
treasure
.
Well
then
,
if
Christ
doth
allow
men
to
get
and
enioy
riches
as
the
Merchants
of
Tirus
:
and
King
Salomon
,
if
he
doth
allow
vs
to
prouide
and
lay
vp
beefore
hand
as
Ioseph
did
,
&
to
saue
that
which
is
remaining
,
as
himselfe
and
his
Disciples
did
,
and
to
lay
vp
for
our
families
as
the
very
Infidels
doe
.
If
the
Lord
Iesus
will
not
allow
men
to
haue
all
things
common
as
Anabaptists
doe
,
nor
to
pro●esse
wilfull
pouertie
as
beggerly
Fryers
do
,
nor
to
feed
Idle-packs
which
will
not
labour
for
their
liuing
,
as
preposterous
pittie
doth
,
what
then
should
bee
his
meaning
when
he
saith
,
Lay
not
vp
for
your selues
Treasures
in
earth
?
That
wee
may
the
better
finde
out
the
Lords
meaning
we
,
are
to
know
that
Treasure
here
,
is
put
not
onely
for
money
,
riches
,
and
prouision
for
the
time
to
come
,
but
also
for
any
thing
else
(
as
was
said
before
)
wherein
a
man
taketh
most
delight
,
and
whereupon
hee
dependeth
most
,
or
which
hee
maketh
his
felicitie
;
yea
,
and
doth
so
lauish
out
his
loue
vpon
it
,
and
torment
himselfe
with
careful
thoughts
for
the
same
,
as
if
without
it
hee
should
be
vtterly
vndone
,
and
could
not
possibly
liue
.
In
which
maner
Worlldings
gather
riches
,
and
Atheists
seeks
after
pleasure
,
the
Ambitious
man
hunts
after
Honour
,
euen
with
all
their
harts
,
with
all
their
minde
,
with
all
their
might
,
strength
&
soule
,
as
if
it
were
their
God
that
did
make
them
,
and
it
should
preserue
and
saue
them
,
which
is
a
manifest
breach
of
the
first
commandement
.
Now
all
is
made
the
Treasure
that
the
heart
is
set
vpon
,
as
for
Example
.
Some
men
take
more
to
heart
the
losse
of
a
Childe
,
than
the
losse
of
all
their
goods
besides
,
and
doe
so
much
set
their
affection
vpon
it
,
that
they
will
say
,
if
God
should
take
this
Childe
away
,
then
all
our
ioy
is
gone
,
Some
are
so
iealous
ouer
their
Honour
,
that
if
they
haue
not
all
manner
of
outward
complements
afforded
vnto
them
▪
Some
againe
dote
vpon
their
Credit
.
that
if
their
wicked
counsell
bee
crossed
at
any
time
,
they
are
readie
with
Achitophell
(
that
treacherous
counsellour
)
to
goe
hang
themselues
.
Others
are
so
madde
vpon
their
present
pleasure
,
that
with
the
beastly
Epicures
they
cry
,
Some
are
so
enamored
of
their
wealth
,
that
when
their
goods
are
encreased
and
their
barnes
enlarged
,
then
with
the
worldling
they
dreame
of
a
quietus
est
:
And
cry
soule
be
now
at
rest
,
for
thou
hast
goods
enough
for
many
yeeres
.
Of
all
these
it
may
be
said
they
haue
layde
vp
Treasure
in
Earth
but
not
in
Heauen
,
beecause
in
these
things
they
haue
reposed
all
their
ioy
,
their
delight
,
their
trust
.
And
therefore
being
inuited
to
the
heauenly
banquet
of
the
Gospell
,
they
`answere
like
earth-wormes
,
making
light
of
the
matter
,
Lay
not
vp
your
Treasures
on
earth
,
&c.
And
these
words
may
bee
expounded
two
wayes
.
Lay
not
vp
,
&c.
Thou
that
art
a
Christian
and
hast
giuen
thy
Faith
to
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
in
thy
Baptisme
,
thou
that
art
a
Cittizen
of
the
heauenly
Ierusalem
,
and
hast
the
holy
One
of
Isr●ell
,
euen
the
Lord
of
Hoasts
,
and
the
mightie
God
of
Heauen
and
Earth
for
thy
father
:
his
sonne
,
yea
,
his
onely
beloued
Son
for
thy
Redeemer
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
which
proceedeth
from
them
both
for
thy
sanctified
guide
and
Comforter
,
and
thou
that
hast
the
Angels
to
guarde
thee
,
and
the
Saints
to
pray
for
thee
,
and
all
the
Creatures
to
serue
thee
,
and
therefore
art
of
all
the
Creatures
the
most
noble
and
excellent
,
thou
must
needs
haue
somewhat
to
delight
in
,
to
occupy
thy
minde
vpon
,
and
to
set
thy
hart
vpon
.
Take
heede
it
bee
not
vpon
earthly
things
,
for
all
the
earth
cannot
yeeld
thee
a
fit
match
,
thou
being
called
to
so
high
and
heauenly
●
calling
,
but
heauen
can
.
In
earth
is
●othing
that
can
make
thee
happy
,
but
in
heauen
there
is
happinesse
it selfe
.
In
earth
there
is
no
commoditie
without
a
discommoditie
,
but
in
heauen
there
is
.
In
earth
is
no
perpetuitie
,
but
in
heauen
there
is
.
In
earth
there
is
no
securitie
or
safetie
,
but
in
heauen
there
is
both
:
therefore
Lay
not
vp
thy
Treasure
in
earth
where
the
Moth
and
Canker
corrupteth
,
and
where
Theeues
dig
through
and
steale
,
but
in
heauen
where
is
no
such
matter
.
Or
it
may
thus
bee
expounded
.
Thou
which
art
a
Christian
doe
not
so
greedely
seeke
after
earthly
substance
,
as
thereby
to
neglect
thy
heauenly
substance
,
as
the
manner
of
all
men
is
to
do
by
nature
,
like
Esau
who
was
so
hungry
for
a
messe
of
his
brothers
pottage
,
that
for
loue
thereof
,
and
for
feare
of
●taruing
(
except
he
had
it
)
lost
his
birth-right
,
lay
not
vp
Treasure
in
Earth
where
Moth
and
Canker
do
corrupt
,
and
Theeues
break
through
and
steale
,
&c.
Heare
Christs
reason
Where
Moths
doe
fret
,
Canker
corrupteth
,
and
Theeues
dig
through
and
steale
.
The
summe
of
his
reason
is
this
,
that
whatsouer
this
world
affordeth
,
is
subiect
to
consumption
,
or
corruption
,
or
both
:
if
it
bee
in
vse
,
it
is
consumed
with
the
vse
,
if
it
bee
not
vsed
,
then
it
corrupteth
for
want
of
vse
.
The
consuming
and
spending
of
these
worldly
goods
,
is
eyther
by
the
owners
of
them
,
or
by
Theeues
that
oftentimes
are
pertakers
of
them
to
the
hurt
of
the
owner
.
They
are
also
consumed
●yther
by
sensible
and
liuing
Creatures
,
as
by
Mothes
,
Flyes
,
Mice
,
and
Rats
,
and
such
like
:
or
else
by
insensible
&
dead
things
,
as
Rust
,
and
Mould
,
and
Fire
,
and
Water
,
and
Ayre
,
and
Age
,
&c.
Now
consider
the
matter
,
consult
&
giue
sentence
.
What
madnes
is
it
to
prouide
for
theeues
and
Robbers
?
What
inhumanitie
to
giue
that
to
Mothes
and
Mice
,
&c.
which
is
better
bestowed
vpon
thy selfe
,
vpon
thy
familie
,
or
vpon
the
poore
?
What
vanitie
,
yea
,
what
misery
is
this
to
bee
a
slaue
to
such
things
as
theeues
and
robbers
,
Vermine
,
and
rottennesse
shall
do
.
minier
ouer
,
and
in
a
short
time
must
perish
eyther
in
the
vse
,
or
for
want
of
vse
?
This
doe
not
worldlings
consider
,
they
locke
vp
,
and
lay
vp
,
and
put
out
their
Treasures
to
be
kept
for
them
,
yet
can
they
not
keep
their
garments
from
Moths
,
nor
their
golde
and
siluer
from
Rust
,
nor
any
thing
they
haue
,
from
one
casualtie
or
another
long
.
When
they
haue
gotten
goods
together
,
they
cannot
promise
vnto
themselues
either
perpetuitie
of
them
or
securitie
:
And
what
a
misery
is
that
?
but
either
their
goods
or
themselues
must
weare
away
,
and
their
goods
are
in
daunger
for
their
properties
sake
,
and
the
owners
are
in
danger
for
their
goods
sake
.
Neither
are
these
all
the
discommodities
that
thy
Treasure
is
subiect
vnto
,
who
knoweth
not
that
the
Fire
may
consume
them
,
as
it
hath
done
thousands
?
or
the
Water
may
drowne
them
,
as
it
hath
done
thousands
?
or
the
Plague
may
infect
them
as
it
hath
done
thousands
?
or
Time
may
weare
them
,
as
it
hath
done
millions
of
thousands
?
or
Death
may
fetch
thee
away
,
as
it
hath
done
infinit
millions
of
thousands
?
Besides
all
this
,
The
worldling
is
like
a
Mill
,
driuen
violently
by
a
maine
streame
,
and
great
prouision
is
made
to
feede
in
one
place
,
and
to
coole
in
another
,
the
Sacke
is
brought
to
feede
the
Mill
,
and
the
Mill
grindeth
and
weareth
it selfe
to
fill
the
Sacke
againe
,
and
still
the
Wheele
is
where
it
was
,
for
all
his
whirling
about
,
and
as
you
finde
it
so
you
leaue
it
:
so
is
it
with
a
worldly
man
and
his
goodes
,
but
this
similitude
applyeth
it selfe
,
I
will
therefore
follow
it
no
further
.
This
wee
all
know
,
but
how
often
,
or
rather
how
seldome
doe
wee
thinke
vpon
it
,
or
remember
it
,
or
make
vse
of
it
,
to
stay
vs
from
greedy
coueting
and
egar
pursuing
of
the
World
,
with
the
hazard
of
our
Saluation
?
The
Diuell
hee
cryeth
,
follow
the
World
,
compasse
the
worlds
goods
,
oh
thou
shalt
profit
thy selfe
,
What
shall
it
profit
a
man
to
winne
the
World
,
yea
,
the
whole
World
,
and
to
loose
his
owne
Soule
?
that
the
Diuell
concealeth
;
yea
,
he
dealeth
with
vs
as
hee
did
with
Christ
himselfe
,
hee
shewed
Christ
the
glory
and
maiestie
of
worldly
kingdomes
,
but
not
the
troubles
and
tumults
,
not
the
daungers
and
enimies
of
the
same
:
So
he
deludeth
the
fooles
of
this
world
,
he
sheweth
them
the
brauery
of
the
Court
,
but
not
the
vanitie
that
is
in
the
Court
:
hee
sheweth
them
the
glory
of
honour
,
but
not
the
daunger
of
honour
:
he
sheweth
the
flowers
of
Beautie
,
but
not
the
deceiptfulnesse
of
Beautie
:
hee
sheweth
the
commodities
of
Offices
,
but
not
the
discommodities
of
Offices
:
he
sheweth
the
wealth
of
such
a
Country
,
but
not
the
enuie
&
misery
of
the
same
country
.
And
thus
are
the
Fooles
of
this
world
(
as
God
himselfe
calles
them
)
deluded
and
abused
,
Is
not
this
great
Babell
,
which
I
haue
built
for
the
honour
of
my
Macestie
?
strouting
vp
and
downe
in
his
Galleries
,
and
admiring
himselfe
for
his
Building
,
as
a
foole
admireth
himselfe
in
a
glasse
,
so
doe
the
fooles
of
the
world
,
oh
(
saith
one
)
how
rich
shall
I
bee
?
how
worshipfull
saith
another
?
how
much
admired
for
my
wealth
,
for
my
brauery
,
for
my
strength
,
saith
a
third
?
&c.
Within
a
while
commeth
the
Moth
,
the
Mouse
,
and
the
Rat
for
their
fees
,
the
one
taketh
vp
his
lodging
in
his
braue
apparrell
,
and
gnaweth
holes
in
his
lodging
,
the
other
in
his
Barnes
and
granieries
,
and
taketh
as
deepe
toule
as
the
Miller
,
the
Rust
falleth
and
feedeth
vpon
his
gilded
and
glittering
Armour
,
and
the
Canker
seazeth
vpon
his
Gold
and
Siluer
.
After
these
commeth
the
legall
Theefe
,
that
is
,
the
Vsurer
,
and
he
must
haue
for
the
lone
of
his
money
,
then
comes
the
Mercer
and
Draper
with
their
Bils
,
wherewith
they
giue
many
astonishing
blowes
on
the
head
(
as
it
were
with
clubs
)
for
wearing
out
their
braue
Apparrell
before
it
bee
paid
for
.
Then
the
fashion
altereth
,
or
the
Ayre
is
not
wholesome
,
and
both
must
bee
changed
,
or
the
Flatterer
licketh
his
Dishes
,
or
the
Begger
pulleth
him
by
the
sleeue
,
and
then
the
propertie
is
altered
,
Oh
quantum
mutatus
ab
ille
?
Hee
is
not
the
man
hee
was
taken
to
bee
,
neyther
is
it
all
gold
that
glistred
in
his
eyes
.
Now
,
speake
to
these
Earth-wormes
of
Heauenly
things
,
and
amidst
their
ioyes
or
dumps
,
aske
them
if
they
will
goe
to
a
Sermon
,
or
ioyne
with
the
congregation
in
Prayer
,
or
the
like
,
what
is
their
answere
?
Is
it
not
Nabal-like
?
who
when
his
kindnesse
was
requested
towards
Dauid
and
his
Souldiers
,
answered
like
a
foolish
Churle
,
euen
like
himselfe
.
Who
is
Dauid
?
and
what
is
the
Sonne
of
Ishai
that
I
should
send
of
my
vittailes
vnto
him
?
So
say
they
,
the
Sermon
,
what
good
shall
wee
get
by
going
to
a
Sermon
?
who
worse
then
these
Preachers
themselues
?
Oh
they
can
talke
well
,
and
tell
a
trim
tale
in
the
Pulpit
,
but
their
liues
are
not
thereafter
.
And
thus
they
play
the
currish
Dog
,
barking
and
bawling
at
them
that
bring
them
meate
.
Oh
,
wee
shall
haue
a
Puritaine
of
you
,
how
holy
you
are
?
Tell
not
mee
of
the
Sermon
,
I
haue
other
matters
to
thinke
vpon
,
I
must
follow
my
suites
in
Law
,
or
I
must
goe
and
beare
such
and
such
company
at
the
Tauerne
,
or
at
Bowles
,
or
at
Tables
,
&c.
I
haue
not
sleptinough
,
(
saith
another
:
)
And
others
haue
not
their
ruff●s
,
and
their
cuttes
,
and
their
hoopes
,
and
their
knackes
fine
inough
:
I
cannot
abide
to
sit
so
long
saith
one
:
I
must
goe
serue
my
customers
:
I
like
not
this
kinde
of
teaching
(
faith
another
)
And
thus
doe
they
answere
,
when
they
are
moued
to
meete
the
Lord
,
in
the
meanes
of
their
saluation
and
sanctification
,
which
lay
vp
Treasures
on
earth
,
and
not
in
heauen
:
And
therefore
Lay
not
vp
your
Treasures
on
earth
,
but
in
heauen
.
Againe
,
how
doe
worldlings
deale
in
bargaining
,
in
buying
and
selling
?
Doe
they
not
assault
one
another
with
lyes
?
Doe
they
not
vndermine
one
with
another
with
deepe
dissembling
?
Doe
they
not
sweare
fasly
,
to
deceiue
one
another
?
Doe
they
not
promise
largely
,
deny
impudently
,
and
falsifie
vniustly
their
promises
?
Doe
they
not
work
vpon
the
aduantage
,
and
take
the
extrenitie
of
Law
one
against
another
?
Doe
they
not
thus
deale
which
are
onely
deuoted
and
altogether
addicted
to
the
Treasures
and
pleasures
of
this
World
?
Againe
,
how
are
they
accounted
of
?
how
are
they
accounted
of
?
how
are
they
accursed
?
Are
they
not
(
for
the
most
part
)
accounted
as
Iudasses
and
tray-Gods
?
as
Machiuels
and
Tirants
,
as
Cut-throats
and
Cousoners
,
vnconscionable
and
cruell
,
hard-harted
and
mercilesse
,
and
that
euen
of
their
friends
?
They
are
cursed
of
the
rich
,
which
pay
for
their
kindnesse
,
and
of
the
poore
they
are
cursed
,
because
they
can
get
not
kindnesse
of
them
:
Of
whole
Countries
,
trades
&
Common-wealths
they
are
accursed
,
for
they
will
haue
a
cast
at
all
.
Wee
cannot
buy
but
of
him
faith
one
:
Wee
cannot
sell
but
we
must
agree
with
him
faith
another
:
Wee
cannot
vtter
our
commodities
because
of
him
,
faith
a
third
.
The
country
curseth
him
:
where
were
wont
to
bee
so
many
Ploughes
kept
for
Tillage
(
faith
the
country
)
is
there
now
nothing
but
a
Shepheard
and
his
dogge
.
Vbi
Troia
iam
seges
:
nay
I
would
it
were
so
well
,
but
now
vbi
seges
iam
segnities
:
they
reape
where
they
sowed
not
,
and
take
vp
where
they
laid
not
downe
.
And
thus
are
they
accounted
of
,
which
follow
onely
earthly
Treasure
,
and
therefore
Lay
not
vp
Treasure
on
earth
.
How
they
liue
wee
haue
heard
,
but
how
doe
they
dye
?
commonly
Qualis
vita
,
finis
ita
:
Doe
not
many
of
them
prooue
Bankroupts
and
spend-thrifts
?
Doe
they
not
dye
deepe
in
debt
,
plunged
in
despaire
,
voyd
of
comfort
,
and
without
confidence
in
God
?
Is
not
their
wedge
of
Golde
their
confidence
?
and
doe
they
not
say
to
their
bags
of
gold
,
these
are
the
Angels
that
shall
keepe
vs
?
Oh
most
fearefull
,
and
what
more
miserable
?
As
they
loued
not
the
word
of
God
in
their
health
time
,
so
doe
they
wholy
distast
it
in
their
sicknesse
,
and
their
light
goeth
out
in
obscure
darknesse
,
leauing
a
filthy
smell
behinde
it
,
like
a
snuffe
in
a
socket
,
when
the
candle
is
burnt
out
.
How
many
of
them
doe
take
their
leaue
of
the
World
(
after
their
long
doting
vpon
it
)
most
he●●eshly
blaspheming
of
God
,
most
cruelly
cursing
of
men
,
most
monstrously
execrating
of
themselues
,
and
most
brutishly
roaring
like
beasts
knocked
on
the
head
,
or
lying
most
sencelesly
like
blockes
and
stocks
.
And
if
any
make
a
better
end
,
that
may
bee
reckoned
amongst
the
miracles
of
Gods
superabounding
mercy
.
But
thus
commonly
doe
they
dye
,
that
haue
had
their
thoughts
,
and
their
cares
,
wholy
drenched
in
the
loue
and
delight
of
earthly
things
,
to
verifie
the
saying
of
the
Apostle
:
Many
walke
of
whom
I
haue
tolde
you
often
,
and
now
tell
you
weeping
,
they
are
enimies
of
the
crosse
of
Christ
,
whose
God
is
their
belly
,
whose
glory
is
their
shame
,
which
minde
earthly
things
,
&
therfore
their
end
is
dam●ation
.
And
thus
we
see
how
the
profane
Irreligiousnesse
,
the
deceiptfull
dealing
,
the
wicked
liuing
,
and
the
cursed
ending
of
worldlings
doe
all
cry
out
with
one
consent
,
and
bid
vs
beware
,
that
we
lay
not
vp
Treasure
on
earth
onely
,
where
Moths
doe
gnaw
,
and
Rust
doth
consume
,
and
Theeues
breake
through
and
steale
.
When
the
men
of
Lystra
would
haue
worshipped
Paul
and
Barnabas
,
those
blessed
Apostles
cryed
out
,
O
men
why
doe
you
such
things
?
wee
are
euen
men
as
you
be
,
and
subiect
to
the
same
passions
that
yee
bee
,
yet
scarce
refrained
they
the
people
,
that
they
had
not
sacrificed
vnto
them
.
So
when
worldlings
would
sacrifice
their
harts
to
earthly
Treasure
,
doth
not
the
earth
cry
out
and
say
.
O
vaine
man
what
dost
thou
meane
?
I
am
as
thy selfe
,
and
as
base
as
thy selfe
,
I
was
another
mans
,
and
am
for
euery
mans
turne
,
I
am
enuironed
with
thornes
and
Bryers
,
and
inhabited
with
Toads
,
Vipers
,
and
noysome
Vermine
,
&
all
my
commodities
are
haunted
with
moths
,
&
cankers
,
with
Theeues
and
Diuels
,
yet
scarse
doe
they
refraine
from
offering
sacrifice
vnto
them
.
I
know
not
whereunto
the
earthly
Treasure
may
bee
better
resembled
then
vnto
the
huge
horse
that
the
Greekes
had
prepared
for
the
destruction
of
Troy
(
if
that
story
be
true
)
which
made
a
great
and
goodly
shew
,
but
vterum
armato
milite
complent
,
Simeus
non
leua
fuisset
(
as
the
Poet
speaketh
)
if
they
had
not
beene
too
light
of
beliefe
,
and
too
much
enchaunted
with
a
false
perswasion
thereof
,
they
had
done
well
enough
,
for
hee
spake
plainely
enough
,
when
he
told
them
that
Aut
hocinclusi

aut

:
Eyther
(
sayth
hee
)
our
enimies
lye
lurking
in
this
woodden
horse
,
or
else
it
is
some
Engine

for
the
battering
of
our
wals
.
Nay

There
is
more
mischiefe
in
it
then
wee
are
aware
of
O
Troyans
,
bee
wise
and
take
heede
you
trust
not
a
Horse
.
Yea
,
but
it
is
a
gifte
that
the
Greekes
haue
left
for
Pallas
.
Well
,
saith
hee
,
Quicquid

Make
what
you
can
of

(
saith
hee
)
there
is
,
no
trusting
to
the
Greekes
,
though
they
come
with
gifts
in
their
hands
:
So
hee
that
hath
a
spirituall
eye
indeed
,
that
can
pearce
further
then
to
the
out-side
of
worldly
shewes
,
can
truely
say
it
,
and
may
safely
iustifie
it
,
that
the
golden
shewes
of
profits
and
pleasures
,
which
are
often
in
this
world
presented
vnto
his
view
,
haue
eyther
some
secret
mischiefes
lurking
in
them
,
or
are
like
some
strange
engine
erected
to
batter
his
estate
,
or
to
cut
his
throate
,
or
to
ouerwhelme
his
head
with
cares
and
feares
,
or
to
prouoke
him
to
some
desperate
attempt
:
but
let
the
best
bee
made
of
it
that
can
bee
made
,
yet
the
world
is
not
to
bee
trusted
,
though
it
comes
sawning
and
flattering
,
creeping
and
crouching
to
a
man
with
giftes
and
presents
in
the
hand
,
for
in
a
kisse
was
treason
,
and
Ioabs
kind
embracings
prooue
but
deadly
stabbings
,
and
the
wisest
that
euer
was
amongst
the
sonnes
of
men
,
hauing
made
tryall
of
all
,
and
taken
not
a
taste
,
but
his
fill
of
all
the
treasures
and
pleasures
that
this
world
could
possibly
inuent
for
the
delight
and
strength
of
a
king
,
could
at
the
casting
vp
of
his
accompts
,
giue
no
better
verdict
of
it
but
this
:
Vanitie
of
Vanities
,
and
all
is
but
Vanitie
and
vexation
of
spirit
.
And
here
againe
one
wiser
and
greater
then
Salomon
tels
vs
(
if
we
haue
grace
to
beleeue
him
)
that
both
the
rust
,
and
the
Moth
,
and
the
Canker
,
and
the
Theefe
,
and
all
cry
out
vnto
vs
,
and
bid
vs
take
heed
how
we
dote
vpon
worldly
Treasure
.
Of
this
discourse
we
may
make
good
vse
,
Agane
when
thou
art
in
prayer
or
hearing
of
Gods
word
,
And
in
like
manner
when
thou
hapnest
to
loose
any
worldlie
commoditie
,
But
lay
vp
for
your selues
treasure
in
heauen
,
where
&c.
Our
Sauiour
Christ
hauing
forbidden
the
gredy
seeking
of
earthly
things
,
What
are
those
treasures
then
that
are
commended
vnto
vs
for
their
excellencie
?
In
a
word
they
are
heauenly
,
This
is
true
indeede
:
In
whom
are
hid
all
the
treasures
of
wisdome
and
knowledge
.
In
whom
God
hath
blessed
vs
,
with
all
spirituall
blessings
in
heauenly
things
:
Of
whose
fulnes
we
receiue
all
grace
for
grace
,
In
whom
and
by
whom
wee
liue
,
and
moue
,
and
haue
our
being
,
of
whom
the
church
enquired
and
was
sicke
of
loue
vntill
she
found
him
.
I
Charge
you
O
Daughters
of
Ierusalem
,
if
you
finde
my
wel-beloued
,
that
you
tell
him
that
I
am
sicke
of
loue
.
Now
mark
the
answer
that
is
made
to
this
charge
by
those
which
yet
knew
not
the
excellency
of
Christ
.
O
the
fairest
a
mong
women
,
what
is
thy
welbeloued
more
then
other
welboued
?
what
is
thy
welbeloued
more
then
an
other
louer
,
that
thou
dost
so
charge
vs
?
Now
mark
the
description
of
Christ
,
set
forth
by
the
true
church
,
as
glorying
and
delighting
to
speake
of
the
beautie
and
riches
of
their
heauenly
Bridegrome
,
to
the
shame
of
those
that
beare
the
title
of
Christians
,
and
yet
are
neuer
so
much
daunted
and
silenced
at
any
thing
,
as
when
speach
is
offered
them
of
Christ
and
Christian
Religion
,
as
if
it
were
possible
that
an
honest
woman
should
bee
ashamed
to
heare
good
spoken
,
or
to
speake
good
things
of
her
Husband
,
My
belouod
(
saith
the
Spouse
of
Christ
)
is
white
and
ruddy
,
the
cheifest
of
ten
thousand
.
His
head
is
as
fine
gold
,
his
locks
curled
,
and
black
as
a
Rauen.
His
eyes
are
as
Doues
vpon
the
Riuers
of
waters
,
which
are
washed
with
milke
,
and
remaine
by
the
full
vessels
.
His
cheekes
are
as
a
bed
of
Spices
,
and
sweet
Flowers
,
and
his
lips
like
Lillies
dropping
downe
pure
Mirrhe
.
His
hands
like
rings
of
Gold
,
What
say
you
to
him
now
?
Heare
now
what
effect
this
sweet
description
of
Christ
hath
wrought
with
the
Daughters
of
Ierusalem
,
that
is
,
with
the
members
of
the
Church
,
yet
such
as
hitherto
were
ignoraunt
of
these
things
.
O
the
fairest
amongst
women
,
whither
is
thy
Welbeloued
gone
?
whither
is
thy
Welbeloued
turned
aside
,
that
wee
may
seeke
him
with
thee
?
And
would
you
seeke
him
indeed
?
then
heare
more
.
This
heauenly
and
louely
Bridegrome
hath
for
his
Spouse
a
whole
Cittie
,
and
A
holy
Cittie
called
new
Ierusalem
(
whose
Daughters
you
are
)
come
downe
from
God
our
of
heauen
,
prepared
as
a
Bride
trimmed
for
her
husband
,
hauing
the
glory
of
God
,
and
her
shining
is
like
vnto
a
stone
most
precious
,
and
as
a
Iasper
stone
cleare
as
Christall
.
The
Wall
of
it
is
great
and
high
,
and
hath
twelue
Gates
,
and
at
the
Gates
twelue
Angels
(
for
Porters
)
And
the
Wall
of
the
Cittie
hath
twelue
Foundations
,
and
in
them
the
names
of
the
Lambs
twelue
Apostles
.
It
is
euery
way
twelue
thousand
furlongs
,
as
broad
as
long
,
and
extending
aswell
to
one
part
of
the
world
as
to
another
.
The
building
of
the
wall
is
of
Iasper
,
and
the
Cittie
pure
Gold
like
cleare
Glasse
.
The
foundations
of
the
Wall
were
ga●nished
with
all
manner
of
precious
stones
.
And
the
twelue
Gates
wore
twelue
Pearles
,
and
euery
Gate
is
of
one
Pearle
,
and
the
Street
of
the
Cittie
is
of
pure
Gold
.
There
is
no
Temple
there
,
for
the
Lord
God
Almightie
,
and
the
Lambe
are
the
Temple
of
it
,
There
is
no
neede
of
Sunn●
or
Moone
,
for
the
glory
of
God
▪
doth
light
it
,
and
the
Lambe
is
the
light
of
it
.
And
the
people
which
are
saued
shall
walk
in
the
light
of
it
,
and
the
Kings
of
the
earth
shall
bring
their
glory
and
honour
vnto
it
.
And
the
gates
of
it
shall
not
bee
shut
by
day
:
for
there
shall
be
no
might
there
.
And
the
glory
and
honour
of
the
Gentiles
shall
bee
brought
vnto
it
.
And
into
it
shall
enter
no
vncleane
thing
,
neyther
whatsoeuer
worketh
Abhomination
or
Lyes
:
but
they
which
are
written
in
the
:
Lambs
booke
of
Life
.
Now
if
the
Gates
,
Wals
and
Streets
of
this
Cittie
bee
so●
beautifull
,
and
sumptuous
,
then
how
glorious
and
rich
are
the
inward
parts
?
nay
who
can
expresse
the
riches
and
pleasures
that
are
there
layd
vp
for
the
Cittizens
and
Spouse
of
Christ
?
are
they
not
(
thinke
you
)
like
those
things
which
Saint
Paul
saw
when
hee
was
rapt
vp
into
the
third
heauen
,
which
the
tongue
of
man
cannot
vtter
?
And
must●
they
not
needes
bee
those
ioyes
which
the
same
Apostle
saith
,
as
no
Eye
hath
seene
,
no
Eare
hath
heard
,
no
Tongue
can
expresse●
nor
Hart
conceaue
?
Now
doe
but
consider
with
thy selfe
(
if
thou
canst
)
what
some
Eyes
haue
seene
,
what
some
mens
Eares
haue
heard
,
and
what
some
trauellers
Tongues
haue
reported
in
these
dayes
,
and
what
the
hart
of
some
man
is
able
to
conceaue
,
and
then
doe
but
imagine
what
those
ioyes
of
heauen
are
if
thou
canst
.
But
what
are
the
commodities
and
Riches
of
that
Heauenly
Ierusalem
,
and
the
Cittizens
therof
,
that
cannot
bee
valued
?
If
the
report
thereof
will
mooue
thee
to
seeke
after
them
▪
then
heare
,
for
euen
in
this
life
the
true
Christian
is
put
in
possession
of
them
in
part
,
by
which
as
by
a
tast
,
hee
is
certified
,
and
as
by
an
earnest
p●nny
hee
is
assured
of
the
rest
that
is
kept
for
him
,
vntill
hee
bee
ready
for
them
.
to
receiue
instruction
and
not
Siluer
,
and
knowledge
rather
then
fine
Gold
.
to
get
wisdome
is
much
better
then
gold
,
but
how
much
better
hee
cannot
tell
,
it
so
far
excelleth
,
and
therefore
hee
sets
it
downe
with
an
Interrogation
:
How
much
better
is
it
,
&c.
and
to
get
Vnderstanding
(
saith
he
)
is
more
to
be
desired
then
Siluer
,
Yea
,
Blessed
is
that
man
(
saith
hee
)
that
findeth
Wisedome
,
and
that
man
that
getteth
Vnderstanding
.
Now
marke
his
reasons
.
For
the
marchandise
thereof
is
better
then
the
marchandise
of
Siluer
,
and
the
gaine
thereof
is
better
then
gold
.
It
is
more
precious
then
Pearles
,
and
all
things
that
thou
canst
desire
,
are
not
to
bee
compared
vnto
her
.
Length
of
dayes
is
in
her
right
hand
,
and
in
her
left
hand
riches
and
glory
.
Her
wayes
are
the
wayes
of
pleasure
,
and
all
her
pathes
posperitie
.
Shee
is
a
Tree
of
Life
to
them
that
lay
hold
on
her
,
and
blessed
is
hee
that
receiueth
her
.
There
is
also
a
spirituall
traffique
and
intercourse
betweene
Christ
&
the
faithfull
Christian.
Our
conuersation
is
in
beauen
saith
S.
Paul
,
very
troublesome
and
dangerous
(
I
confesse
)
for
a
time
,
for
this
world
is
the
sea
,
Siluer
and
Gold
haue
I
none
,
but
such
as
I
haue
,
I
giue
thee
,
in
the
name
of
Iesus
of
Nazaret
arise
and
walke
:
A
better
Almes
a
great
deale
then
hee
expected
.
So
wee
may
say
:
If
you
aske
vs
what
commodities
our
vessell
hath
brought
,
we
may
make
Peters
answere
,
Siluer
and
Gold
wee
haue
none
;
new
wine
haue
we
none
;
pleasant
tales
haue
wee
none
;
and
Popish
trash
haue
wee
none
;
but
wee
haue
the
hidden
treasures
of
the
Gospell
,
Behold
,
these
are
the
Riches
,
and
these
are
the
Treasures
that
the
Lord
Iesus
sendeth
from
heauen
to
enrich
and
glad
his
seruants
withall
,
while
they
liue
here
dispersed
and
despised
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth
.
And
yet
here
bee
not
all
,
for
euen
all
outward
blessings
also
do
attend
vpon
these
inward
graces
,
so
that
if
any
man
can
finde
these
,
and
hartely
affect
them
,
Seeke
first
(
saith
hee
)
the
kingdome
of
God
,
and
his
righteousnesse
,
and
all
these
things
shall
bee
cast
vnto
you
,
but
Gods
Kingdome
must
bee
first
sought
.
Godlinesse
is
profitable
vnto
all
things
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
and
hath
the
promises
of
this
life
,
and
of
the
life
to
come
.
Godlinesse
will
make
thy selfe
,
and
thy
seed
,
thy
ground
and
thy
cattell
,
thy
wealth
and
thy
credit
to
bee
blessed
.
It
is
like
the
Tree
that
bearet●
fruit
euery
month
,
&
beareth
twelue
manner
of
fruits
,
and
the
leaues
thereof
are
good
to
heale
the
nations
withall
.
To
conclude
therefore
this
point
:
seeing
as
the
Christians
heauenly
Treasure
,
which
is
both
Christ
himselfe
and
all
the
riches
of
his
Gospell
bee
so
excellent
,
rare
,
and
precious
that
nothing
may
bee
compared
therewith
;
and
seeing
the
treasures
of
this
his
kingdome
of
Grace
(
though
they
bee
inestimable
and
vnspeakable
)
are
but
a
tast
and
earnest
of
those
treasures
,
which
bee
reserued
for
the
Saints
in
his
kingdome
of
glory
.
And
lastly
,
seeing
as
they
which
seeke
after
the
heauenly
Treasure
,
shall
also
haue
earthly
blessings
to
accompanie
the
same
,
as
farre
forth
as
God
shall
see
good
for
his
children
,
let
euery
Christian
hart
bee
hereby
moued
and
perswaded
to
lay
vp
from
henceforth
Treasure
in
heauen
,
rather
than
on
earth
,
sith
euery
man
desireth
the
best
things
.
As
the
Christians
heauenly
Treasure
is
so
bee
preferred
before
all
things
,
for
the
Excellencie
thereof
,
so
also
is
it
here
commended
vnto
vs
by
our
blessed
Sauiour
,
for
the
Perpetuitie
,
and
the
Securitie
of
the
same
.
For
their
Perpetuitie
,
hee
saith
that
neither
Moth
can
eate
it
,
nor
Rust
consume
it
.
And
for
their
security
the
safe
keeping
,
he
tels
thee
that
they
are
where
no
Theefe
can
dig
through
and
steale
them
,
meaning
that
no
enimie
whether
terrestiall
or
infernall
,
whether
man
or
Diuell
can
possibly
deceiue
thee
or
depriue
thee
of
them
.
Now
as
touching
the
Perpetuitie
of
the
Christians
heauenly
Treasure
,
The
glorious
Garment
,
and
royall
Robe
of
Christ
that
Sonne
of
Righteousnesse
,
The
mercies
of
the
Lord
endure
for
euer
.
And
as
the
Christians
heauenly
treasure
doth
excell
for
Perpetuitie
,
Many
lay
vp
their
treasure
in
the
bottome
of
a
ship
,
and
the
sea
swalloweth
it
vp
;
but
what
sea
can
deuoure
those
Treasures
that
are
layd
vp
in
heauen
?
Many
put
their
treasure
into
other
mens
hands
,
who
spend
it
vainely
,
or
runne
away
secretly
;
but
who
can
spend
,
or
runne
away
with
that
which
is
laid
vp
in
heauen
?
Many
bestow
their
Treasure
vpon
their
backe
,
belly
,
and
building
,
three
such
Bees
as
will
sting
the
land
to
death
,
And
howsoeuer
some
vaine
and
presumptuous
Persons
will
not
sticke
through
greedinesse
of
gaine
,
to
vndertake
(
for
a
quantitie
of
money
)
to
secure
a
mans
goods
at
sea
,
or
at
land
,
yet
considering
the
miserable
vnquietnesse
that
mans
life
is
exposed
vnto
,
and
the
vniuersall
disagreement
and
warre
that
is
betweene
man
and
all
the
Creatures
in
the
world
,
yea
,
betweene
the
Creatures
themselues
,
nay
more
,
betweene
man
and
man
in
all
estates
and
degrees
:
nay
more
than
that
,
between
euery
man
in
himselfe
.
I
see
no
reason
,
why
any
man
should
be
so
vnwise
,
as
to
promise
vnto
himselfe
any
secure
enioying
of
any
worldly
commoditie
,
or
why
another
should
so
confidently
(
or
desperately
rather
)
vndertake
to
secure
any
mans
goods
or
estate
,
when
as
hee
cannot
secure
himselfe
one
minute
of
an
houre
to
an
end
.
And
first
,
for
the
miserable
and
vnquiet
estate
of
this
life
,
I
see
not
what
can
bee
said
more
to
discouer
the
same
,
then
hath
beene
already
said
by
Petrach
that
learned
Italian
Oratour
,
And
besides
the
present
euill
,
we
haue
alwayes
somewhat
to
grieue
vs
behinde
our
backs
,
and
before
our
eyes
to
make
vs
afraid
:
which
thing
hapn●th
to
no
other
Creature
besides
man
,
for
vnto
all
others
it
is
most
perfect
Securitie
,
to
haue
escaped
that
which
is
present
.
But
wee
in
respect
of
our
Wit
and
Vnderstanding
of
our
minde
,
are
in
a
continuall
wrastling
and
strife
with
an
enemie
.
Which
being
so
,
what
safetie
or
securitie
can
wee
looke
for
with
our
earthly
pelfe
(
notwithstanding
all
the
bonds
,
and
Bils
,
Euidences
and
Conu●aiances
,
and
whatsoeuer
deuise
else
by
craftie
heads
can
bee
contriued
)
when
wee
can
by
no
meanes
secure
our selues
of
our selues
in
rest
and
quietnes
one
houre
to
an
end
.
Now
as
touching
the
vniuersall
disagreement
and
war
,
These
things
vpon
which
we
dwell
,
There
is
no
liuing
Creature
without
war.
But
though
these
cease
,
yet
disagreement
ceaseth
not
:
But
thou
liuest
amongst
the
Richer
and
more
delicate
sort
perhaps
,
At
the
very
beginning
of
the
world
there
was
a
battell
fought
in
the
first
Heauen
,
and
those
vanquished
Angels
(
now
Diuels
)
whilst
they
endeauour
to
bee
reuenged
vpon
vs
mortall
men
,
that
inhabite
the
earth
,
they
procure
vnto
vs
immortall
warre
of
sundry
temptations
,
with
most
hard
and
doubtfull
businesse
.
And
to
gather
all
into
a
short
summe
,
all
things
whatsoeuer
hauing
sence
,
or
without
sence
,
from
the
vppermost
top
of
heauen
,
vnto
the
lowest
center
of
the
earth
,
and
from
the
chiefest
Angell
,
to
the
basest
worme
,
there
is
continuall
and
euerlasting
strife
betweene
them
,
what
securitie
then
can
be
looked
for
of
any
thing
in
this
world
.
As
for
man
himselfe
,
the
Lord
and
gouernour
of
all
things
,
But
if
thou
or
thy
estate
be
called
into
question
,
as
whose
is
not
somtime
?
thou
wilt
repaire
to
s●kilfull
Grammarians
,
who
can
tell
what
Construction
to
make
of
euery
things
;
or
to
eloquent
Rhetoricians
,
that
can
tell
how
to
perswade
much
;
or
to
wittie
Logitians
,
who
can
dispute
thy
cause
well
;
or
to
learned
Lawyers
,
who
can
plead
thy
cause
effectually
,
but
then
remember
againe
,
what
contentions
are
amongst
Grammaians
,
not
yet
decided
?
what
conflicts
among
Rhetoricians
?
what
Quirks
and
quidities
amongst
Logitians
?
what
brabble
and
clamour
amongst
Lawyers
?
who
how
well
they
agree
the
continuance
of
their
Cliants
causes
doth
euidently
declare
.
Well
then
,
He
pulleth
downe
,
and
buildeth
vp
,
and
changeth
that
which
was
square
into
round
.
To
these
may
bee
added
the
contention
that
is
oftentimes
without
an
Aduersary
,
But
to
omit
this
external
strife
(
which
is
one
while
with
Aduersaries
,
But
in
heauen
it
is
otherwise
,
looke
what
Treasures
thou
sendest
thether
before
thy
▪
dying
day
,
thou
shalt
bee
sure
to
haue
them
secured
vnto
thy
vse
for
euer
,
and
why
?
surely
because
they
are
with
thy
GOD
and
most
louing
Father
,
where
no
Theefe
can
breake
through
and
steale
.
As
this
Doctrine
should
cause
vs
to
leaue
our
doting
vpon
this
World
,
But
thou
canst
not
see
it
,
What
then
?
I
once
loued
the
word
of
God
(
thou
wilt
say
)
and
was
zealous
for
the
glory
of
God
,
But
doe
the
Lord
no
iniurie
:
Oh
wretched
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliuer
mee
?
So
whiles
temptations
doe
buffet
vs
,
wee
are
benummed
and
know
not
well
,
how
it
is
with
vs
in
respect
of
Grace
,
but
yet
Gods
grace
doth
vphold
vs
for
all
that
Whiles
Sathan
sifted
Peter
,
Ye
shall
sorrow
(
saith
our
Sauiour
Christ
)
in
the
World
,
but
in
mee
yee
shall
haue
ioy
,
and
your
ioy
shall
no
man
take
from
you
,
no
nor
Diuell
,
nor
Angell
,
nor
God
himselfe
,
The
foundation
of
God
abideth
sure
,
and
hath
this
seale
.
The
Lord
knoweth
who
are
his
,
and
let
euery
one
that
calleth
on
the
name
of
the
Lord
les●is
depart
from
iniqui●●e
,
to
shew
that
if
wee
depart
from
iniquitie
,
wee
shall
our selues
also
know
that
wee
are
the
Lords
,
yea
,
and
to
that
end
wee
ought
to
call
on
the
name
of
the
Lord
Iesus
,
that
by
his
grace
wee
may
depart
from
iniquitie
.
And
in
so
doing
we
may
say
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
I
know
whom
I
haue
beleeued
,
and
I
am
perswaded
that
hee
is
able
to
keepe
that
which
I
haue
committed
Vnto
him
against
the
day
of
Christ
.
And
whereas
thou
complainest
that
thou
canst
not
pray
,
know
that
yet
for
all
that
the
Spirit
of
God
may
bee
in
thee
,
For
the
Spirit
(
saith
Paul
)
helpeth
our
infirmities
for
we
know
not
how
to
pray
as
we
ought
,
but
the
Spirit
it selfe
maketh
request
for
vs
with
●ighes
,
which
cannot
be
expressed
,
to
shew
that
when
the
hearts
of
Gods
Children
are
oppressed
with
burdensome
Temptations
,
which
stop
the
course
and
passage
of
our
Prayers
,
that
then
the
Spirit
of
God
makes
a
supply
by
sighes
and
grones
.
But
if
Gods
spirit
were
in
thee
(
thou
sayest
)
thou
shouldest
feele
it
working
in
thee
some
heauenly
and
spirituall
work
.
True
it
is
,
and
so
hee
doth
,
for
euen
the
sighes
and
grones
of
a
troubled
spirit
,
Sonne
bee
of
good
cheare
,
thy
sinnes
are
forgiuen
thee
,
Hee
hath
thy
pardon
with
him
in
thee
,
and
when
thou
hast
most
neede
,
hee
will
deliuer
it
thee
,
and
thou
shalt
see
it
,
with
ioy
and
great
gladnes
.
In
thee
meane
time
,
that
hee
is
in
thee
know
by
this
,
that
thou
dost
not
hate
the
Lord
,
but
loue
him
and
hast
an
holy
desire
,
Thou
hast
heard
what
high
commendations
are
giuen
of
the
Christians
heauenly
Treasure
;
doest
thou
beleeue
it
?
then
lay
vp
thy
treasure
in
heauen
,
say
not
as
the
buyer
doth
,
it
is
naught
,
it
is
naught
,
for
if
thou
couldst
obtaine
it
,
with
the
losse
of
all
the
world
,
thou
mightst
and
wouldst
brag
of
thy
bargaine
.
But
alas
,
how
few
regard
this
?
The
poorer
sort
care
not
,
but
for
backe
and
belly
,
and
neuer
repaire
with
good
will
to
the
house
of
God
,
But
now
,
as
wee
haue
heard
these
Treasures
commended
for
their
Excellencie
,
-
1
Place
.
-
2
Time
.
-
3
Manner
how
.
-
4
Why.
for
their
Perpetui●y
,
and
Security
,
so
it
will
not
bee
amisse
,
to
consider
of
the
Place
wher
we
must
seeke
for
them
,
of
the
Time
when
,
of
the
Manner
how
to
lay
them
vp
,
and
lastly
of
the
Reason
why
:
All
which
are
questions
necessarie
,
for
the
Serpent
commended
knowledge
,
but
withall
shewed
a
wrong
way
thereunto
:
so
all
commend
the
heauenly
Treasure
,
but
all
take
not
a
right
course
to
obtaine
it
,
therefore
saith
the
Apostle
,
Sorunne
that
yee
may
obtaine
.
These
vessels
haue
a
booke
that
will
shew
all
,
if
any
man
can
open
it
,
and
vnderstand
it
,
and
it
is
the
Word
of
God
,
contayning
the
holy
Scriptures
of
the
old
and
new
Testament
,
which
Christ
would
haue
vs
to
search
,
because
they
beare
witnesse
of
him
,
The
places
then
that
wee
must
frequent
if
wee
will
finde
this
Heauenly
Treasure
,
are
the
holy
Assemblies
of
Gods
people
,
where
God
is
called
vpon
by
the
publike
Prayers
of
the
Saints
,
the
Word
is
truely
taught
,
and
the
Sacraments
sincerely
ministred
,
for
the
working
and
increasing
of
faith
,
and
not
the
conuenticles
of
Schismatikes
,
who
haue
seperated
themselues
from
the
publike
assemblies
of
Gods
Church
,
and
are
at
open
defiance
with
their
mother
the
true
Church
of
Iesus
Christ
,
who
first
brought
them
to
that
knowledge
and
Faith
that
they
haue
,
if
in
truth
and
soundnesse
they
haue
any
at
all
.
That
which
must
discouer
vnto
vs
this
heauenly
Treasure
,
is
the
holy
Bible
,
and
sacred
Scriptures
of
God
,
and
not
the
reuelations
of
Anabaptists
,
nor
the
Dreames
of
the
Familie
of
Loue
,
nor
the
Iewes
Ta●mud
,
nor
the
Turks
Alcaron
,
nor
the
Popes
Portuise
,
nor
the
Tridentine
Counsels
,
nor
the
Traditions
or
decrees
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
all
which
will
leade
vs
to
trash
,
but
not
to
Treasure
;
to
hell
,
but
not
to
heauen
;
to
the
flesh
,
but
not
to
the
spirit
,
and
so
from
God
to
the
Diuell
.
And
being
come
now
to
the
place
,
and
hauing
found
the
Booke
that
will
rcueale
this
Heauenly
Treasure
,
what
must
wee
doe
?
Except
thy
word
had
beene
my
comfort
in
my
Affliction
,
I
had
perished
.
That
the
marchandise
thereof
is
better
then
the
Marchandise
of
Siluer
,
and
the
gaine
thereof
is
better
then
Golde
.
It
is
more
precious
(
saith
he
)
then
Pearles
,
and
all
things
that
thou
canst
desire
,
are
not
to
be
compared
vnto
her
.
Length
of
dayes
is
in
her
right
hand
,
and
in
her
left
hand
riches
and
glory
.
Her
pathes
are
the
pathes
of
pleasure
,
and
all
her
wayes
prosperitie
.
Shee
is
a
Tree
of
Life
to
them
that
lay
hold
on
her
,
and
therefore
blessed
are
they
that
receiue
her
.
But
to
see
these
are
required
very
heauenly
and
spirituall
eyes
,
euen
the
eyes
of
a
liuely
●aith
;
for
carnall
sence
cannot
comprehend
them
,
and
worldly
wisedome
cannot
conceiue
them
,
As
many
then
as
will
not
willinglie
bee
deceiued
and
perish
,
To
which
end
the
Lord
hath
appointed
Preaching
and
Preachers
,
and
endued
them
with
the
tongues
of
the
learned
,
and
all
to
open
the
hidden
Treasures
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
.
To
which
must
bee
ioyned
a
diligent
eare
,
a
minde
to
meditate
,
and
a
sober
tongue
,
to
confer
with
thy
Pastor
and
familie
,
and
an
humble
Spirit
,
to
bee
enformed
and
reformed
by
the
counsell
of
God
.
These
meanes
are
called
digging
,
and
searching
,
laborious
exercises
indeed
,
to
shew
what
paines
and
diligence
must
bee
vsed
in
searching
after
the
heauenly
Treasure
.
My
Sonne
(
saith
Salomon
)
if
thou
wilt
receiue
my
words
,
and
hide
my
commaundement
within
thee
,
and
cause
thine
eares
to
hearken
vnto
Wisedome
,
and
incline
thine
heart
vnto
Vnderstanding
,
But
if
wee
bee
negligent
,
backward
,
and
indifferent
or
luke-warme
,
then
will
it
fare
with
vs
,
as
with
Laodicea
,
wee
shall
thinke
wee
are
rich
,
and
increased
with
goods
,
and
haue
neede
of
nothing
,
when
indeed
wee
are
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
poore
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
.
And
alas
so
it
is
with
too
too
many
and
therefore
when
you
come
into
their
houses
,
if
the
booke
of
God
bee
there
,
you
shall
finde
it
couered
ouer
with
much
rubbill
,
and
drosse
,
as
Cards
and
Tables
,
merry
Tales
with
sorry
or
sorrowfull
tailes
,
profane
and
scurrilous
discourses
,
and
paultry
pamphlets
,
and
such
like
stuffe
,
which
domineere
ouer
the
booke
of
God
,
as
the
Iewes
did
ouer
Christs
in
Pilates
hall
;
all
which
should
bee
swept
out
of
doores
,
or
sacrificed
in
the
fire
:
and
as
for
such
humorists
as
do
nothing
but
feede
mens
humours
with
idlenesse
,
and
ply
them
with
the
pleasures
of
sinne
,
to
the
losse
of
their
precious
time
,
which
should
bee
spent
in
seeking
of
the
heauenly
Treasure
,
say
vnto
them
as
Christ
did
vnto
Peter
,
when
hee
solicited
him
against
the
will
of
God
,
vnto
carnall
courses
,
Turne
thee
behind
me
Sathan
,
thou
art
an
offence
vnto
mee
,
and
sauourest
not
the
things
of
God
.
The
next
thing
to
bee
considered
is
,
Remember
thy
Creator
in
the
dayes
of
thy
youth
,
before
the
euill
dayes
come
vpon
thee
,
and
the
dayes
whereof
thou
shalt
say
I
haue
no
pleasure
.
And
Esai
cryeth
out
vnto
thee
,
saying
:
Seeke
the
Lord
while
hee
may
be
found
,
and
call
vpon
him
while
hee
is
nigh
at
hand
,
to
shew
vs
that
the
Lord
will
not
alwayes
bee
found
,
much
lesse
when
wee
thinke
good
,
neyther
will
the
dayes
of
olde
age
and
sicknesse
bee
like
the
dayes
of
youth
and
health
,
for
then
shall
wee
feele
our selues
vnfit
and
vntoward
to
seek
after
these
things
,
in
two
regards
:
first
,
in
regard
of
naturall
infirmities
and
bodily
paines
which
will
hold
thy
mind
occupied
about
meanes
of
ease
,
as
Phisicke
and
such
like
.
Secondly
,
in
regard
of
that
strong
hand
which
sin
through
long
custome
will
beare
ouer
thy
soule
,
euen
to
the
hardning
of
thy
heart
,
for
custome
of
sinne
,
breedeth
hardnesse
of
heart
,
and
hardnesse
of
heart
begetteth
impenitencie
,
But
the
speciall
time
of
gathering
and
laying
vp
this
heauenly
Treasure
,
is
the
holy
Sabboth
,
and
other
times
of
holy
assemblies
,
and
generally
whensoeuer
thou
art
called
forth
,
to
heare
the
Word
preached
vnto
thee
,
or
hast
any
occasion
to
exercise
thy
Faith
,
in
the
workes
of
Charitie
and
pietie
.
Then
comes
the
Angell
to
stirre
the
Poole
,
The
Sabboth
day
is
especially
appointed
for
gathering
of
heauenly
treasures
,
Remember
therefore
that
thou
keepe
it
holy
as
the
Lord
comminandeth
,
p●etend
not
a
necessitie
of
breaking
the
〈◊〉
rest
,
where
〈◊〉
is
apparant
,
as
the
manner
of
some
is
when
〈◊〉
a
faire
Sabboth
day
,
they
must
work
,
for
feare
of
Raine
,
but
consider
thou
whose
heart
is
buryed
vnder
thy
loafe
,
and
wilt
needs
bee
rich
by
deceiuing
the
Lord
of
his
right
,
consider
I
say
,
hath
not
the
Lord
prouided
for
thee
when
it
hath
rained
?
and
darest
thou
not
trust
him
when
it
is
faire
?
did
he
euer
deceiue
any
that
trusted
him
with
their
estate
,
while
they
walked
reuerently
in
his
feare
,
and
carefully
kept
his
commandements
?
what
indignitie
then
and
dishonor
is
this
that
thou
offrest
vnto
the
most
high
,
in
that
thou
darest
not
trust
him
with
thy
body
,
whiles
thou
seekest
for
the
good
of
thy
Soule
?
And
how
doest
thou
thinke
to
answere
this
geare
,
when
thy
conscience
shall
bee
summoned
to
answere
therevnto
,
before
that
Iudgement
Seat
,
which
maketh
the
very
Angels
and
Celestiall
Powers
to
tremble
?
Oh
consider
of
these
things
betimes
,
and
the
Lord
〈◊〉
thy
drowsie
soule
.
Now
the
manner
how
to
lay
vp
this
heauenly
Treasure
,
Sell
that
you
ha●e
ouerplus
(
saith
Christ
)
or
that
you
can
sp●are

and
giue
to
the

Make

thou

to

,
and
he
that
will
loose
it
for
my
sake
and
the
Gospell
,
shall
saue
it
.
And
if
wee
suffer
with
him
(
saith
S.
Paul
)
wee
shall
also
raigne
with
him
.
in
all
these
things
(
saith
the
holy
Apostle
)
wee
are
more
then
conquerours
,
through
him
that
loued
us
.
therefore
wee
faint
not
,
but
though
our
o●tward
man
perish
,
yet
th'
inward
man
is
renued
daily
.
For
our
light
affliction
which
is
but
for
a
moment
,
causeth
vnto
vs
a
farre
more
excellent
waight
of
glory
.
While
wee
looke
not
on
the
things
which
are
seene
,
but
on
the
things
which
are
not
seene
.
This
point
will
bee
scarce
welcommed
,
or
well
liked
,
of
nice
and
daintie
professours
of
the
Gospell
,
which
must
neuer
goe
to
Gods
house
,
but
when
the
Sunne
shineth
,
the
waies
are
faire
,
and
no
Winde
is
stirring
,
to
blow
vpon
them
;
and
when
they
are
there
,
they
must
heare
nothing
but
pleasing
things
,
their
sinnes
must
not
bee
touched
,
much
lesse
can
they
endure
to
haue
the
cutting
knife
of
Gods
law
,
laid
to
the
throat
of
their
sinne
.
And
if
all
the
world
doth
not
applaud
and
commend
their
zeale
,
and
good
deeds
,
they
soon
are
discouraged
,
&
stand
stone
stil
,
like
the
winde
mill
that
goeth
no
longer
then
the
winde
bloweth
,
no
scoffe
or
reproach
,
no
persecution
or
trouble
can
they
endure
for
the
Truths
sake
,
what
Treasure
can
these
lay
vp
by
their
daintinesse
in
heauen
?
The
third
way
to
lay
vp
Treasure
in
heauen
,
Christ
is
to
bee
considered
,
as
the
common
Treasurie
and
store-house
of
Gods
Church
,
for
God
hath
blessed
vs
with
all
spirituall
blessings
in
Christ
.
Eph.

The
Merit
of
Christ
is
the
value
of
his
death
and
passion
,
whereby
he
hath
obtained
to
vs
Reconciliation
And
this
Reconciliation
hath
two
parts
:
first
,
Remission
of
sinnes
,
Secondly
,
acceptation
to
eternall
life
,
and
both
for
the
merit
of
Christ
imputed
.
This
benefit
must
bee
knowen
not
by
conceipt
,
nor
carnal
presumption
,
but
by
the
inward
testimonie
of
gods
Spirit
.
To
attaine
to
the
infallible
assurance
of
this
benefite
we
must
call
to
minde
the
promises
of
the
Gospell
touching
remission
of
sins
,
and
the
gift
of
eternall
life
to
the
Faithfull
.
Secondly
,
wee
must
endeuour
by
the
assurance
of
Faith
to
apply
them
to
our
owne
hearts
.
And
thirdly
,
wee
must
vse
often
exercises
of
Inuocation
and
repentance
,
for
by
our
crying
to
God
for
reconciliation
commeth
the
assuraunce
thereof
.
And
if
it
so
fall
out
that
a
man
in
temptation
,
feele
nothing
but
the
furious
wrath
of
God
,
yet
euen
then
against
all
reason
and
feeling
,
hee
must
hold
to
the
merit
of
Christ
,
and
know
that
God
is
a
most
louing
father
to
them
that
haue
a
care
to
serue
him
,
euen
at
that
instant
when
he
sheweth
himselfe
a
most
fierce
and
terrible
enimie
,
which
Iob
knew
right
well
when
hee
said
,
If
the
Lord
should
kill
mee
,
yet
I
will
trust
in
him
.
From
the
benefite
of
Reconciliation
proceede
foure
benefites
.
First
,
that
excellent
peace
of
God
,
which
passeth
all
Vnderstanding
▪
Phil.

And
that
hath
sixe
parts
:
first
,
peace
with
the
Trinitie
,
for
being
Iustified
by
Faith
,
we
haue
peace
with
God
.

,
Peace
with

who

and
descend
vpon
the
Sonne
of

and
all
for
the
good
of
Gods
Church
.
For
the
Angels
doe
incampe
about
those
that
feare
the
Lord
.
Psal.
34.
And
like
Nurses
doe
beare
them
in
their
armes
.
Psal.
90.
12.
that
they
hurt
not
their
foot
against
a
stone
.
All
this
seruice
which
the
Angels
performe
vnto
the
faithfull
,
proceedes
of
this
,
that
the
faithfull
being
in
Christ
,
are
pertakers
of
his
merit
.
Thirdly
,
peace
with
the
Faithfull
,
for
,
the
Wolfe
shall
dwell
with
the
Lambe
,
and
the
Leopard
shall
lye
with
the
Kid
,
and
the
Calfe
and
the
Lyon
,
and
the
fat
beasts
together
,
and
a
little
child
shall
lead
them
.
Esay
.

Fourthly
,
peace
with
a
mans
selfe
,
and
that
is
:
first
,
when
the
Conscience
washed
in
the
bloud
of
Christ
,
ceaseth
to
accuse
a
man
:
secondly
,
when
the
will
and
affections
are
obedient
to
the
minde
,
enlightened
by
the
Word
and
Spirit
of
God
,
and
this
is
that
which
the
Apostle
meaneth
,
when
hee
saith
,
Let
the
peace
of
God
rule
in
your
hearts
.
Col.
3.

Fiftly
,
Peace
with
our
enimies
,
and
that
two
wayes
:
first
,
in
seeking
Peace
with
all
,
hurting
none
,
but
doing
good
to
all
:
Thou
shalt
walk
vpon
the
Lyon
and
the
Dragon
,
&c.
And
in
that
day
(
saith
the
Lord
)
I
will
make
a
co●enant
for
them
,
with
the
wild
Beasts
,
and
with
the
foules
of
the
heauen
,
&
with
that
that
creepeth
vpon
the
earth

The
second
benefit
of
Christs
merite
,
Cor.
3.
22.
Whether
it
be
the
world
,
or
life
,
or
death
,
or
things
present
,
or
things
to
come
,
all
are
yours
,
and
you
Christs
.
The
right
way
of
knowing
this
benefit
is
this
,
when
God
giueth
meat
&
drinck
,
&c.
we
must
not
barely
consider
them
,
as
blessings
of
God
,
for
that
very
Heathen
men
can
doe
,
which
know
not
Christ
,
but
as
proceeding
from
the
loue
of
God
in
Christ
.
And
so
often
as
wee
vse
the
Creatures
,
this
point
must
come
to
minde
,
for
blessings
conceiued
a
part
from
Christ
,
are
misconceiued
.
Whatsoeuer
they
are
in
themselues
,
they
are
no
blessings
to
vs
,
but
in
and
by
Christs
Merits
:
for
this
cause
it
is
not
sufficient
generally
to
know
Christ
to
be
our
Redeemer
,
but
wee
must
learne
to
see
him
and
acknowledge
him
in
euery
particular
gift
&
blessing
of
God
.
If
men
when
they
behold
their
meates
and
drincks
,
could
by
faith
behold
in
them
the
merit
of
Christs
passion
,
there
would
not
bee
so
much
gluttony
and
drunkennes
as
there
is
.
If
the
like
in
their
houses
and
lands
,
their
would
not
bee
so
much
fraud
and
deceipt
,
in●ustice
and
oppression
.
Also
noble
birth
,
without
new
birth
is
but
vanitie
.
The
like
is
to
bee
saide
of
phisicke
,
sleepe
,
health
,
libertie
,
recreations
,
and
very
breathing
it self
.
Therefore
it
is
meete
,
that
with
our
earthly
recreation
wee
ioyne
spirituall
medi●ation
of
the
death
of
Christ
,
then
would
there
not
bee
so
many
vnlawfull
sports
and
delights
,
and
so
much
abuse
of
lawfull
Recreations
as
there
is
,
and
this
wee
ought
to
do
,
for
,
Christ
is
all
in
all
things
.

I
have
counted
al
things

,
that
I
may
know
him

&
the
vertue
of
his

.
The
way
to
know
it
,
is
to
cast
off
the
old
man
,
which
is
corrupt
,
through
deceiu●able
▪
lusts

They
which
are
Christs
,
haue
crucified
the
flesh
with
the
lusts
and
affections
.
He
with
a
speare
was
wounded
,
we
with
the
sword
of
the
spirit
must
wound
sinne
to
death
,
and
labour
by
experience
to
feele
the
very
death
of
it
,
and
bury
it
.
Thirdly
,
a
spirituall
Resurrection
:
for
as
he
came
out
of
his
graue
,
so
wee
must
come
out
of
our
sinnes
,
as
out
of
a
most
loathsome
graue
,
to
liue
to
God
.
This
worke
cannot
bee
done
at
once
but
by
degrees
,
as
God
shall
giue
grace
.
Fourthly
,
a
spirituall
ascention
,
by
a
continuall
eleuation
of
the
heart
and
minde
to

,
sitting
at

yee

in
bearing
Patiently

and
suffering
the
curse
of

without
grudging
,
submitting
himselfe
to

in
all

So
must
wee
,
and
the
more
wee
follow
him
herein
,
the
more
wee
are
like
him
in
his
Death
and
Refurrection
.
Fourthly
,
in
his
Humilitie
,
Phil.

Let
the
same
mind
be
in
you
,
that
was
in
Christ
,
who
being
equall
with
God
,
tooke
vpon
him
the
shape
of
a
Seruant
,
and
humbled
himselfe
euen
to
the
death
of
the
Crosse.
Here
is
to
be
obserued
,
that
the
example
of
Christ
hath
something
more
in
it
then
any
other
hath
,
or
can
haue
,
for
it
doth
not
onely
shew
vs
what
wee
ought
to
doe
,
but
it
is
both
a
remedie
against
many
vices
,
as
also
a
motiue
to
many
good
Dueties
:
as
for
example
,
the
serious
consideration
that
the
very
Sonne
of
God
himselfe
suffered
all
the
wrath
of
God
,
and
curse
of
the
Law
for
our
sins
,
is
the
most
effectuall
meanes
to
stir
vp
our
hearts
to
a
godly
sorrow
for
them
,
to
which
end
,
euery
man
must
bee
perswaded
that
hee
was
the
man
that
crucified
Christ
,
that
hee
is
to
bee
blamed
as
well
as
Herod
,
Pilate
,
and
the
Iewes
,
and
that
his
sinnes
were
the
nayles
and
speares
that
pearced
Christ
.
Againe
,
if
Christ
for
our
sinnes
shed
his
bloud
,
and
if
our
sinnes
made
him
sweate
drops
of
bloud
,
why
should
not
wee
shed
bitter
teares
for
our
sinnes
?
Hee
that
findeth
himselfe
so
dull
and
hardened
,
that
the
passion
of
Christ
doth
not
humble
him
,
is
in
a
lamentable
case
.
Againe
,
when
thou
art
sicke
and
in
paine
,
thinke
how
light
these
are
,
being
compared
to
the
Agony
and
bloudy
Sweate
,
the
Thorn●
and
Nayles
which
Christ
endured
:
when
thou
art
wronged
&
abused
,
turne
thy
eie
to
the
crosse
,
consider
how
meekly
Christ
bare
it
,
and
prayed
for
them
that
put
him
to
death
:
When
thou
art
tempted
with
Pride
and
Vaine-glory
,
consider
how
for
thy
sinnes
,
Christ
was
mocked
,
despised
and
condemned
:
when
thou
art
moued
with
anger
and
desire
of
reuenge
,
think
how
Christ
gaue
himselfe
to
death
to
saue
his
enimies
,
when
they
most
cruelly
set
themselues
against
him
,
and
these
meditations
being
mingled
with
faith
,
will
ease
thy
minde
.
And
hence
ariseth
(
sayth
M.
Perk.
)
a
three-fold
knowledge
:
first
,
of
God
:
secondly
,
of
our
neighbour
:
thirdly
,
of
our selues
.
Of
God
,
for
if
wee
would
know
him
to
our
Saluation
,
wee
must
know
him
in
Christ
crucified
,
for
God
of
his
owne
nature
is
inuisible
,
and
is
reuealed
to
vs
onely
in
Christ
,
in
whom
hee
sets
foorth
his
Iustice
,
Wisedome
,
Goodnesse
,
and
Prouidence
.
Heb.

Col.

3.
whatsoeuer
out
of
Christ
commeth
to
vs
in
the
name
of
God
,
is
a
flat
Idoll
of
mans
braine
.
The
second
knowledge
that
ariseth
from
the
former
meditations
,
is
of
our
neighbours
,
that
is
,
those
that
are
of
gods
Church
.
They
are
to
bee
knowen
of
vs
in
this
manner
.
When
wee
are
to
do
any
Duetie
to
them
,
wee
are
not
barely
to
respect
their
persons
,
but
Christ
crucified
in
them
,
Saul
,
Saul
why
,
&c.
when
the
poore
come
for
reliefe
,
it
is
Christ
,
that
commeth
to
our
dores
,
and
saith
I
am
hungry
,
therefore
let
our
compassion
bee
towards
them
as
towards
Christ
.
The
third
knowledge
is
of
our selues
,
and
the
right
knowledge
of
our selues
,
ariseth
of
Christ
crucified
,
in
whom
and
by
whom
wee
come
to
the
knowledge
of
fiue
speciall
things
:
First
,
the
grieuousnesse
of
our
sinnes
,
and
our
miserie
in
regard
of
them
,
for
if
wee
consider
our
offences
in
our selues
,
wee
may
bee
deceiued
,
because
our
conscience
being
corrupt
often
erreth
in
giuing
testimonie
,
and
so
it
seemes
but
little
,
but
if
sinne
bee
considered
in
the
death
and
passion
of
Christ
,
whereof
it
was
the
cause
,
and
the
vilenesse
thereof
measured
by
the
vnspeakable
torments
endured
by
him
,
the
least
sinne
will
appeare
to
be
a
most
grieuous
sinne
indeed
.
Secondly
,
by
this
wee
know
that
men
beleeuing
in
Christ
,
are
not
their
owne
,
but
wholly
both
body
and
soule
belong
to
Christ
.
Thirdly
,
that
euery
true
beleeuer
hath
this
being
from
Christ
,
not
as
hee
is
a
man
,
but
as
hee
is
a
new
man
.
Fourthly
,
that
all
good
works
done
of
vs
,
proceede
from
the
vertue
,
and
merit
of
Christ
crucified
.
Ioh.
15.
2.
Fiftly
,
that
we
owe
vnto
Christ
an
endlesse
debt
,
for
hee
was
crucified
onely
as
our
suertie
and
pledge
,
and
in
the
spectacle
of
his
passion
,
wee
must
consider
our selues
as
the
chiefe
debters
,
we
owe
him
all
our selues
for
the
paines
that
hee
endured
,
to
set
vs
most
miserable
bankroupts
at
libertie
,
from
Hell
,
Death
,
and
the
Diuell
,
but
〈◊〉
when
doe
wee
beginne
to
pay
it
?
Thus
wee
see
what
benefits
we
haue
by
Christ
crucified
,
and
in
what
manner
wee
ought
to
vse
them
,
but
alas
,
but
few
haue
treasured
vp
this
knowledge
of
Christ
,
as
they
ought
,
for
herein
faile
both
the
Papist
,
and
the
common
Protestant
.
The
Popish
Churches
though
in
word
they
confesse
him
,
yet
doe
they
not
know
him
as
they
ought
,
for
in
their
Sermons
they
vse
the
passion
,
as
a
means
onely
to
stirre
vp
pittie
and
compassion
towards
Christ
,
and
hatred
of
Pilate
,
the
Iewes
,
and
Iudas
,
&c.
But
the
seruice
of
God
which
in
that
Church
,
stands
now
in
force
,
by
the
Cannons
of
the
Counsell
of
Trent
,
defaceth
Christ
crucified
,
in
that
first
the
Passions
of
Martires
are
made
meritorious
;
secondly
,
the
very
word
and
signe
of
the
Crosse
,
is
their
onely
refuge
and
help
;
thirdly
,
the
Virgine
Mary
is
made
the
Queene
of
heauen
,
and
a
mother
of
Mercy
,
who
may
commaund
her
Sonne
;
fourthly
,
they
giue
religious
adoration
to
dumbe
stocks
,
&
Crucifixes
made
by
the
hands
of
men
.
The
common
Protestant
also
commeth
short
,
for
three
causes
,
for
first
though
in
Word
they
confesse
him
to
bee
a
Sauiour
,
that
hath
redeemed
them
,
yet
indeede
they
make
him
a
patron
of
their
sinnes
:
Secondly
,
they
take
knowledge
of
his
merit
,
but
little
regard
the
vertue
of
his
death
,
and
resurrection
,
in
mortifying
of
their
sinfull
lusts
and
affections
:
thirdly
,
they
vsually
content
themselues
generally
and
confusedly
to
know
Christ
to
be
their
redeemer
,
neuer
once
seeking
in
euery
perticuler
estate
of
life
,
and
blessing
of
God
,
to
feele
the
benefit
of
his
passion
.
What
is
the
cause
of
all
the
securitie
in
the
world
,
and
that
men
are
not
touched
for
their
sins
?
surely
because
they
did
neuer
yet
seriouslie
consider
that
Christ
in
the
Garden
,
lay
groueling
vpon
the
earth
,
sweating
of
bloud
,
&c.
for
their
offences
.
Againe
oppressours
of
the
poore
,
neuer
knew
that
their
sinnes
drew
out
the
hart
bloud
of
Christ
.
Againe
proud
persons
puffed
vp
with
strange
atire
,
neuer
consider
that
Christ
was
not
crucified
in
gay
atire
,
but
naked
,
that
hee
might
beare
the
whole
shame
and
curse
of
the
Law
for
vs
.
These
and
such
like
,
whatsoeuer
they
say
in
word
,
if
we
respect
the
tenor
of
their
liues
,
are
flat
enimies
of
the
crosse
of
Christ
,
and
tread
his
precious
bloud
vnder
their
feete
.
So
farre
Perkins
.
But
if
thou
wilt
haue
the
Treasures
of
Christ
in
heauen
,
thus
thou
must
learne
to
know
and
feele
Christ
crucified
,
and
the
benefits
of
his
Merit
,
Vertue
and
Example
,
and
thus
must
thou
come
to
the
knowledge
of
God
,
of
thy
neighbour
,
and
of
thy selfe
,
in
Christ
crucified
,
euen
whiles
thou
art
here
vpon
earth
;
which
feeling
knowledge
is
a
sauing
knowledge
,
euen
an
excellent
portion
of
heauenly
Treasure
,
imparted
to
the
true
Christian
in
this
life
,
and
is
a
pledge
of
endlesse
and
infinite
treasure
prouided
for
him
in
the
life
to
come
,
and
so
much
for
the
wayes
and
meanes
of
laying
vp
treasute
in
heauen
,
which
are
by
giuing
to
the
poore
Members
of
Christ
,
by
suffering
patiently
for
the
truth
of
Christ
,
and
by
growing
in
the
sauing
knowledge
of
Christ
crucified
.
In
laying
vp
Treasure
after
this
sort
,
we
shal
prooue
good
Alcumists
.
An
Alcumist
they
say
can
turne
lead
into
gold
,
or
out
of
Lead
or
other
mettals
extract
Golde
,
which
many
haue
practised
to
their
vtter
vndoing
.
The
Pope
is
the
cunningest
Alcumist
it
is
thought
that
the
world
hath
,
for
hee
can
of
a
pound
of
Lead
,
make
an
hundred
pound
of
Gold
,
for
all
his
Buls
and
Pardons
are
sealed
with
lead
,
but
what
fooles
are
they
that
turne
their
Gold
into
Lead
,
or
what
calues
rather
that
buy
his
Buls
so
deare
?
But
lay
vp
Treasure
as
hath
beene
shewed
thee
before
,
Now
followeth
the
reasons
of
Christs
Commandement
,
For
where
your
Treasure
is
there
will
your
heart
bee
also
.
A
Reason
of
great
force
as
if
hee
should
say
,
for
this
cause
chiefly
you
ought
to
lay
vp
your
treasure
in
heauen
,
that
God
may
haue
your
heart
,
which
cannot
bee
vnlesse
you
lay
vp
your
Treasure
in
heauen
,
for
our
hearts
will
bee
where
wholy
their
Treasure
is
.
Here
wee
are
taught
,
that
no
man
can
loue
the
Lord
with
his
heart
,
that
seeketh
and
placeth
his
happinesse
in
earthly
things
,
but
onely
those
whose
ioy
and
felicitie
is
in
heauen
,
and
the
heauenly
graces
of
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
Worldlings
make
no
doubt
but
that
they
may
,
and
doe
serue
God
,
and
loue
God
with
their
heart
,
yea
,
and
haue
as
good
●
hart
to
God
as
any
whatsoeuer
,
though
they
follow
the
world
,
&
heare
not
sermons
,
although
they
keepe
not
the
Sabboth
so
precisely
as
others
do
,
which
will
not
worke
or
play
then
,
though
they
neuer
meddle
with
the
Scriptures
,
but
bee
vtterly
ignorant
of
the
wayes
and
will
of
God
.
But
Christ
here
sheweth
that
they
are
al
deceiued
,
by
a
general
principle
that
neuer
faileth
.
Wher
the
treasure
is
there
will
be
the
hart
,
and
wher
the
hart
is
,
there
is
the
Treasure
of
the
hart
,
wherupon
it
followeth
that
they
doe
wholy
renounce
heauen
,
that
do
seeke
for
happinesse
here
below
,
and
if
they
set
their
harts
vpon
heauenly
things
,
it
cannot
be
that
they
should
esteeme
of
them
no
better
,
or
frequent
them
no
oftner
,
then
they
doe
.
The
Philosophers
haue
most
exactly
(
so
much
as
the
Star-light
of
nature
would
giue
them
leaue
)
disputed
of
the
happines
or
chiefe
wel-fare
of
man
.
For
where
the
Treasure
is
,
there
will
the
hart
be
,
but
most
men
doe
mistake
the
matter
,
while
they
seeke
for
happinesse
in
the
flesh
,
which
is
not
to
be
found
but
in
the
spirit
,
&
while
they
confesse
that
it
is
in
God
,
yet
runne
after
the
Diuell
for
it
.
When
some
seeke
for
it
in
Honour
,
Ambition
is
made
generall
of
the
field
,
and
doth
commaund
the
minde
:
while
others
seeke
it
in
worldly
profite
,
Couetousnesse
doth
inuade
the
soule
,
taking
vp
euery
roome
for
worldly
desires
,
and
noysome
lusts
,
which
doe
eat
out
the
heart
with
cares
,
and
drowne
men
in
perdition
:
others
seeking
for
it
in
carnall
pleasure
and
sensualitie
,
cry
one
to
another
,
come
let
vs
eate
and
drinck
,
and
bee
merry
,
for
to
morrow
wee
shall
dye
:
and
in
the
meane
time
the
brute
beast
in
that
regard
is
more
happy
then
such
Epicures
,
for
that
more
freely
,
without
any
shame
or
feare
hee
enioyeth
the
pleasure
of
carnall
sensualitie
,
then
they
doe
.
But
if
we
were
once
soundly
perswaded
of
our
happines
in
heauen
,
it
would
bee
an
easie
matter
to
tread
the
World
vnder
foote
,
and
to
haue
our
mindes
mounted
vp
to
heauen
.
If
the
loue
of
God
bee
our
Treasure
,
and
through
the
spectacles
of
a
liuely
faith
,
wee
can
read
our
names
regestred
in
the
booke
of
life
,
and
descry
our
happinesse
to
be
hidden
in
Christ
;
if
the
spirit
of
Adoption
doth
certifie
our
spirits
that
God
is
our
Father
,
and
wee
are
his
children
,
and
with
the
same
certificate
shall
deliuer
vs
a
discharge
against
sinne
,
death
and
hell
,
then
will
our
harts
feede
vpon
heauenly
meditations
,
and
our
soules
hunger
and
thirst
after
righteousnesse
,
wee
will
then
account
all
but
dung
,
that
wee
might
winne
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
And
then
as
the
Hart
brayeth
for
the
riuers
of
water
,
so
will
our
soules
long
for
the
presence
of
the
Lord
:
And
then
the
Word
of
God
will
bee
the
ioy
of
our
harts
,
and
wee
will
desire
to
bee
dissolued
;
and
to
bee
with
Christ
,
for
where
the
Treasure
is
,
there
will
the
hart
bee
also
:
And
vntill
then
wee
shall
sauour
nothing
but
earthly
vanities
.
Therefore
when
S.
Paul
would
draw
the
faithfull
to
the
studie
of
a
heauenly
life
,
he
doth
propound
Christ
vnto
them
,
in
whom
onely
all
true
felicitie
is
to
bee
sought
,
If
yee
bee
risen
with
Christ
(
saith
hee
)
set
your
minds
on
things
aboue
,
and
not
on
things
which
are
below
,
as
if
hee
should
haue
said
,
it
is
an
absurd
and
base
thing
for
christians
to
haue
their
mindes
grubling
on
the
earth
,
whose
Treasure
is
hid
in
heauen
,
and
that
is
his
reason
,
for
yee
are
dead
(
saith
hee
)
and
your
life
is
hid
with
Christ
in
God
.
Hence
we
may
further
learne
,
in
what
a
miserable
case
they
are
,
whose
harts
are
set
vpon
earthly
things
,
which
are
subiect
to
Mothes
,
and
Theeues
,
Rust
▪
and
other
such
manifold
mischiefes
.
A
cousening
match
it
is
of
the
diuels
owne
making
,
hee
is
subtill
,
and
sheweth
men
the
world
and
the
glory
of
it
,
the
Court
and
the
brauery
of
it
,
Honour
and
the
fame
of
it
,
iniquitie
and
the
profit
of
it
,
sinne
and
the
pleasure
of
it
,
as
it
were
his
daughters
with
their
dowrie
.
On
the
other
side
,
wee
are
simple
and
beleeue
him
,
presently
our
hart
is
a
match
,
for
them
,
and
happy
hee
thincks
himselfe
that
can
get
one
of
them
,
and
to
breake
it
off
is
a
hard
matter
.
Their
affections
are
fixed
vpon
a
liking
,
they
haue
taken
,
and
although
God
himselfe
forbid
the
banes
,
yet
it
is
to
no
purpose
,
for
they
haue
made
a
vowe
,
they
haue
spoken
the
word
,
and
their
harts
are
setled
,
and
there
is
no
remouing
of
them
.
And
thus
men
doe
runne
despe●ately
vpon
their
owne
ruine
,
like
the
fool●
that
goeth
laughing
to
the
stocks
,
and
all
for
want
of
due
consideration
,
for
if
wee
did
but
consider
:
How
base
a
Worldling
is
.
HOw
base
and
vile
a
thing
for
a
christian
heart
to
be
wedded
to
worldly
things
,
It
is
not
for
a
Noble
mans
sonne
to
addict
himselfe
to
the
conditions
of
the
vulgar
sort
,
nor
for
a
heroicall
spirit
,
or
man
of
great
place
,
to
besot
himselfe
in
Ale-house
pastimes
:
nor
for
honest
persons
,
to
ioy
in
the
company
of
filthy
packs
:
neither
is
it
for
a
Christian
mind
,
who
is
truely
noble
,
and
altogether
heauenly
,
to
set
his
hart
vpon
earthly
things
,
which
at
the
best
are
but
vanitie
and
vexation
of
spirit
.
Therefore
let
Christians
say
as
the
Apostle
saith
:
When
I
was
●
childe
I
spake
as
a
childe
,
I
vnderstood
as
a
childe
,
I
thought
as
a
childe
:
but
when
I
became
a
man
,
I
put
away
childish
things
:
so
when
I
was
an
earthly
worldling
▪
I
spake
as
a
worldling
,
I
vnderstood
as
a
worldling
,
I
studied
as
a
worldling
,
worldly
things
onely
,
but
when
I
became
a
right
Christian
indeed
,
I
put
away
worldlinesse
,
and
set
my
heart
vppon
Treasure
that
is
in
heauen
.
And
therefore
as
Nehemiah
(
when
he
considered
the
place
of
Magistracie
and
rule
wherein
hee
was
)
said
,
Should
,
should
,
a
man
as
I
flye
?
so
thou
wilt
say
that
art
a
true
Christian
,
and
considerest
thy
excellent
calling
,
and
what
thou
are
borne
againe
vnto
by
grace
,
should
such
a
man
as
I
,
bee
an
earth-worme
?
and
thus
wee
see
how
the
dignitie
of
a
Christian
,
sheweth
how
base
a
thing
it
is
,
to
set
the
heart
vpon
earthly
vanities
,
where
Moths
fret
,
Rust
eate
,
&
Theeues
dig
through
and
steale
.
How
miserable
a
Worldling
is
.
AS
nothing
is
more
base
and
sordid
,
so
nothing
is
more
miserable
then
to
set
the
heart
vpon
earthly
things
,
for
that
is
to
subiect
the
Prince
to
the
Subiect
,
the
Maister
to
the
Seruant
,
or
a
Tyrant
rather
,
who
commaundeth
both
all
the
sences
of
the
body
,
and
all
the
powers
of
the
soule
without
any
rest
at
all
.
They
that
will
bee
rich
fall
into
temptations
and
snares
,
and
into
many
noysome
and
foolish
lusts
,
which
drowne
men
in
perdition
and
destruction
.
Money
is
not
vnfitly
resembled
in
an
Emblem
by
some
to
a
Queene
aduanced
on
a
Chariot
,
which
is
drawne
by
a
couple
that
represent
the
golden
fooles
of
the
world
,
Periculum
&
Pauor
,
Perill
and
Feare
:
the
first
draweth
the
Chariot
in
a
coller
stickt
full
o●
Daggers
with
the
points
inward
,
and
going
bare
footed
vpon
sharpe
thornes
:
the
other
draweth
with
a
sad
countenance
,
and
a
gnawing
conscience
,
still
casting
his
eye
backward
to
see
who
is
neare
,
the
attendants
of
this
Golden
Queene
are
bloudy
Murther
,
spoyling
Theft
,
frantick
Folly
,
and
hart
gnawing
Enuy
,
all
couered
with
her
vaile
.
The
speach
that
she
is
receiued
with
is
this
following
.
Te
bijugi
inuectam
curru
exitiale
periclum
Sollicitusque
pauor
Regina
pecunia
ducunt
.
At
quia
stultitiam
,
furtum
,
caedesque
cruentas
Velas
,
cunctorum
hinc
in
te
spes
firma
recumbit
.
In
English
thus
:
Both
danger
deepe
and
gastly
feare
are
yokt
to
draw
thy
Chariot
O
golden
Queene
:
For
fooles
,
&
theeues
,
&
bloudy
murdring
mates
,
thou
with
thy
vaile
dost
hide
from
being
seene
,
For
which
sole
cause
the
harts
and
hopes
of
all
In
thee
reposde
haue
alwayes
firmely
beene
.
This
is
true
,
yet
of
greater
authoritie
is
that
of
the
Apostle
,
to
the
same
effect
,
The
desire
of
money
is
the
root
of
all
euill
,
which
while
some
haue
lusted
after
,
they
erred
from
the
faith
,
&
pearced
themselues
through
with
many
sorrowes
,
to
shew
that
a
man
cannot
set
his
heart
vpon
transitorie
things
,
except
hee
will
bee
a
murtherer
of
his
owne
soule
,
and
liue
in
continuall
sorrow
,
for
earthly
treasures
and
pleasures
are
lined
and
stuffed
with
sorrowes
,
not
a
few
but
many
,
not
easie
but
sharp
and
pearcing
,
not
a
little
way
,
but
quite
through
to
the
very
hart
.
Lo
,
thus
is
the
worldling
tormented
on
euery
side
,
like
one
rolled
in
a
barrell
of
nailes
.
Sathan
sheweth
onely
the
glory
of
the
world
,
but
Paul
the
sorrowes
of
the
world
;
Sathan
the
hony
,
but
Paul
the
sting
;
Sathan
the
honor
,
Paul
the
dishonour
,
to
teach
vs
what
course
wee
must
take
to
auoid
,
or
to
make
void
this
miserable
match
.
What
greater
misery
then
to
haue
,
and
bee
neuer
satisfied
?
Crescit
amor
nummi
,
&c.
The
desire
of
money
encreaseth
,
as
the
heape
encreaseth
.
Here
is
no
end
of
gathering
,
as
in
the
Dropsie
there
is
no
end
of
drinking
,
because
by
continuall
drinking
the
thirst
is
more
kindled
,
but
no
whit
quench●d
.
How
vaine
a
worldling
is
.
AS
the
worldling
is
most
base
and
miserable
,
so
nothing
is
more
vaine
,
for
what
greater
vanitie
then
to
bee
addict●d
or
deuoted
to
those
things
which
cannot
performe
that
which
is
expected
from
them
?
which
are
of
so
short
continuance
,
which
are
so
little
while
possessed
,
&
are
no
mans
lesse
then
his
that
gathereth
them
:
such
are
all
earthlie
things
,
and
hee
that
lusteth
after
them
,
to
set
his
hart
vpon
them
,
is
like
those
vaine
fooles
that
lust
to
eate
of
painted
grapes
;
or
rather
like
the
rich
foole
in
the
Gospell
,
who
hauing
enlarged
his
Barnes
,
cryeth
out
,
like
one
in
a
dreame
,
and
bids
his
soule
now
take
rest
(
for
indeed
hee
had
found
but
little
rest
before
)
and
his
reason
is
,
because
hee
hath
now
goods
inough
for
many
yeers
,
but
as
he
was
thus
dreaming
of
many
yeeres
goods
and
rest
,
a
voice
comes
and
awakes
him
and
tels
him
plainly
that
he
doth
vtterly
mistake
the
matter
,
Thou
foole
(
saith
hee
)
this
night
shall
they
fetch
away
thy
Soule
,
and
then
whose
goods
shall
those
be
that
thou
hast
gathered
?
So
is
it
(
saith
Christ
)
with
him
that
gathereth
riches
to
himselfe
,
and
is
not
rich
in
God
.
This
vanitie
is
well
set
out
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
when
Salomon
saith
,
there
is
an
euill
sicknesse
,
namely
,
●iches
reserued
to
the
hurt
of
their
owners
,
and
these
riches
perish
by
euill
trauaile
.
And
this
is
also
an
euill
sicknesse
(
saith
the
man
of
experience
)
that
in
all
points
as
hee
came
,
so
shall
hee
goe
,
and
what
profit
hath
hee
that
he
hath
trauailed
for
the
winde
?
I
haue
also
seene
a
man
(
saith
he
)
to
whom
God
hath
giuen
riches
,
and
treasures
,
and
honour
,
and
he
wanteth
nothing
for
his
soule
of
all
that
he
desireth
,
but
God
giueth
not
power
to
eate
thereof
,
this
is
vanitie
and
vexation
of
spi●it
.
As
this
vanitie
is
a
vexation
to
the
spirit
of
man
,
so
is
it
no
lesse
grieuous
to
the
spirit
of
God
,
for
that
contrary
to
the
minde
of
our
heauenly
father
,
we
bestow
our
loue
so
fondly
,
If
I
be
your
father
(
saith
the
Lord
)
where
is
my
honour
?
Timothy
,
Charge
them
that
are
rich
in
this
world
,
that
they
bee
not
high
minded
,
and
that
they
trust
not
in
vncertaine
riches
,
but
in
the
liuing
God
.
How
dangerous
worldliness
is
to
the
Soule
.
THere
is
no
truer
Nobilitie
,
then
to
be
a
citizen
of
the
heauenly
Ierusalem
,
sonne
and
heire
to
the
most
high
,
all
which
is
defaced
and
abolished
,
if
the
hart
lie
buried
in
earthly
things
.
There
is
no
sounder
ioy
,
then
the
ioy
of
the
holy
ghost
,
which
is
a
fruit
of
Faith
,
&
is
grounded
on
the
loue
of
God
,
but
this
cannot
bee
relished
or
tasted
by
him
,
whose
hart
doth
cleaue
to
this
miserable
bondage
of
worldly
cares
.
There
are
no
such
goods
as
the
sanctifying
graces
of
the
holy
ghost
,
which
onely
make
a
man
truely
happy
,
as
to
cleaue
vnto
God
by
faith
,
to
loue
the
Lord
from
the
hart
,
to
worship
him
in
spirit
and
truth
,
and
to
bee
wholly
vnited
vnto
him
.
But
far
is
hee
from
these
things
,
whose
hart
is
set
vpon
earthly
goods
:
for
where
the
Treasure
is
,
there
will
the
hart
bee
also
▪
How
to
iudge
by
the
heart
whether
●
mans
Treasure
be
in
heauen
or
no.
THere
be
certaine
signes
in
the
hart
,
whereby
a
man
may
iudge
of
his
estate
to
come
,
as
there
be
in
the
skie
,
to
know
what
weather
shall
happen
:
Yee
can
discerne
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
and
of
the
Skie
,
but
why
discerne
yee
not
this
time
?
yea
,
and
why
iudge
yee
not
of
your selues
what
is
right
?
But
how
may
that
be
(
will
some
say
)
or
how
may
a
man
know
by
the
affections
of
the
heart
,
where
the
hearts
treasure
is
?
Then
mark
the
way
of
wisdome
,
and
learne
to
bee
wise
,
when
the
Lord
Iesus
heard
one
answeare
discreetely
,
he
said
vnto
him
,
Thou
art
not
farre
from
the
kingdome
of
God
,
to
shew
that
discreet
answeres
in
matters
of
religion
are
signes
of
grace
.
When
Zacheus
did
with
heart
obey
Christ
,
and
with
reuerence
receiue
Christ
,
and
in
charitie
releiue
Christ
,
&
in
conscience
of
his
wrongs
done
,
was
ready
to
restore
where
hee
had
wrongfully
receiued
,
the
Lord
Iesus
said
vnto
him
,
This
day
Saluation
is
come
into
thy
house
:
to
shew
that
true
conuersion
is
a
certaine
signe
of
Life
and
Saluation
.
By
this
I
know
(
saith
Dauid
)
that
thou
louest
mee
O
Lord
,
because
my
enimies
doe
not
triumph
ouer
mee
:
to
shew
that
euen
enimies
are
for
signes
&
tokens
of
gods
fauour
.
By
this
shall
all
men
know
that
yee
are
my
Disciples
(
saith
our
sauiour
Christ
)
●f
yee
loue
one
another
:
to
shew
that
christian
loue
is
for
a
signe
of
gods
loue
,
but
not
a
cause
thereof
as
Papists
teach
.
And
by
the
heart
a
man
may
know
whether
his
part
be
in
the
booke
of
life
,
and
whether
his
soule
shall
bee
bound
vp
in
the
bundell
of
the
righteous
or
no
:
For
where
the
treasure
is
,
there
will
th●
heart
bee
also
:
that
is
,
there
will
be
the
ioy
and
delight
of
the
heart
,
the
loue
and
de●ire
of
the
heart
,
the
care
and
longing
of
the
heart
,
for
the
heart
in
this
place
is
put
for
the
affections
of
the
heart
or
soule
.
If
then
thou
wouldest
know
whether
thy
Treasure
bee
in
heauen
or
hell
:
see
where
thy
heart
doth
most
●aunt
,
and
whereabout
it
is
most
employed
.
If
Christ
be
the
man
&
the
matter
whom
thy
soule
loueth
,
Dost
thou
beleue
because
I
said
I
saw
thee
vnder
the
figge
Tree
?
thou
shalt
see
greater
things
then
these
:
Soe
do
you
beleeue
because
I
say
,
by
the
hart
you
shal
know
whether
your
treasure
be
in
heauen
?
you
shall
see
greater
things
then
yet
you
doe
,
for
now
wee
see
but
in
part
,
and
we
know
but
in
part
;
but
hereafter
wee
shall
know
as
wee
are
knowne
:
in
the
meane
time
take
these
things
as
the
first
fruites
of
the
spirit
,
which
are
but
th●
least
part
of
the
haruest
,
or
as
an
earnest
penny
in
assurance
of
millions
not
to
bee
numbred
,
for
certainly
,
where
the
hart
is
,
there
is
the
treasure
,
but
how
great
a
treasure
,
no
eye
hath
seene
,
nor
eare
hath
heard
,
nor
tongue
can
expresse
,
nor
hart
can
conceiu●
.
On
the
other
side
,
if
thy
hart
hath
no
ioy
in
the
gospell
of
Christ
,
nor
delight
in
the
commandements
of
God
,
if
thou
haue
no
zeale
for
the
glory
of
God
,
no
desire
to
pray
,
nor
longing
for
the
coming
of
Christ
,
then
feare
,
for
where
thy
treasure
is
,
there
will
thy
heart
be
also
.
If
thou
hast
more
felicitie
in
worldly
vanities
,
then
in
heauenly
vertues
,
if
vaine
company
bee
more
welcome
vnto
thee
,
then
such
as
feare
the
Lord
,
if
thy
study
be
onely
how
to
liue
heere
,
&
thy
cares
and
communications
be
altogether
●arthly
and
prophane
,
then
suspect
thy
estate
not
to
bee
good
,
and
know
that
thy
hollow
sound
bewrayeth
an
emptie
vessell
,
thy
figge
tree
hath
nothing
but
leaues
,
all
thy
Termes
are
but
vacations
,
and
as
for
treasure
in
heauen
thou
hast
none
,
for
they
that
are
occupiers
there
,
haue
their
harts
wholly
employed
there
,
and
as
they
looke
for
great
aboundance
when
they
come
thether
,
so
they
finde
an
earnest
thereof
in
their
harts
heere
,
al●
is
holy
,
and
heauenly
,
comfortable
and
happie
,
for
righteousnesse
and
truth
hath
looked
downe
from
heauen
vpon
them
,
and
mercy
and
peace
haue
embraced
each
other
in
their
soules
,
and
heauen
holding
their
treasure
doth
also
hale
and
draw
their
harts
thither
likewise
.
Now
then
let
vs
see
how
our
harts
stand
affected
,
for
there
is
a
sure
witnesse
and
pledge
eyther
of
Hell
or
of
Heauen
.
But
how
shall
wee
know
whether
our
hearts
be
in
heauen
,
and
Gods
holy
spirit
be
in
our
hearts
?
Surely
a
needfull
question
;
for
euery
one
wil
say
as
the
yong
man
in
the
Gospel
,
all
these
things
I
haue
obserued
from
my
youth
,
and
that
he
loueth
God
aboue
all
,
yea
hee
would
be
sorry
else
,
but
the
Prophet
Ieremie
saith
,
the
heart
is
deceiptfull
&
wicked
aboue
all
things
,
who
can
know
it
?
and
therefore
to
be
suspected
&
examined
as
Dauid
aduised
:
my
hart
is
enditing
of
a
good
matter
(
saith
the
Psalmist
)
and
presently
followeth
,
my
tongue
is
the
pen
of
a
ready
writer
.
Againe
in
another
place
,
My
hart
was
hot
within
me
and
I
spake
with
my
tongue
.
A
good
man
(
saith
our
Sauiour
Christ
)
out
of
the
good
treasure
of
his
hart
bringeth
forth
good
things
.
Canticles
,
Oh
let
him
kisse
me
with
the
kisses
of
his
mouth
,
for
thy
loue
is
better
then
wine
,
that
is
,
better
then
all
pleasant
and
profitable
things
.
If
there
bee
abundance
of
ioy
and
delight
in
the
commandements
of
God
,
Arise
,
let
vs
goe
hence
,
here
is
no
abiding
for
vs
,
On
the
contrary
,
if
couetousnes
;
ambition
,
vncleane
lusts
,
pride
,
en●ie
,
mallice
,
profanenes
,
or
the
like
,
doe
abound
in
thy
hart
,
thy
tongue
,
thy
countenance
,
thy
company
,
&
all
will
bewray
it
.
Out
of
the
mouth
will
flie
vnsauery
Iests
,
thy
mind
will
run
like
a
wilde
horse
vp
and
downe
in
the
world
.
When
Christ
is
deuiding
of
heauenly
doctrine
,
then
commeth
the
worldling
and
interrupteth
him
,
Maister
deuide
the
inheritance
between
me
&
my
brother
.
And
as
Christ
himselfe
by
scribling
on
the
ground
,
But
hipocrits
will
make
as
great
a
shew
as
any
,
all
this
haue
we
done
.
The
other
example
is
of
Herods
dealing
towards
the
Wise
men
▪
which
came
from
the
East
they
came
in
simplicity
of
heart
,
shewing
plainly
the
end
of
their
comming
and
confessing
boldly
that
they
had
seene
Christs
star
in
the
East
▪
but
Herod
like
a
Foxe
very
polliti●ely
beareth
a
part
in
their
song
,
but
harbouring
at
the
same
instant
a
bloudy
Tragedy
in
his
hart
,
which
hee
meant
to
haue
acted
so
soone
as
hee
should
learn
wher
Christ
was
borne
.
The
like
dissembling
is
to
be
found
in
another
Herod
,
&
Herodias
,
in
Mat.

But
some
will
say
,
But
that
ioy
that
S.
Matthew
speakes
of
,
But
now
the
afflicted
soule
is
to
be
satisfied
who
complaineth
with
the
Spouse
of
Christ
in
the
Canticles
,
shee
hath
sought
him
whom
her
soule
loueth
,
euen
by
night
in
her
bed
she
hath
sought
him
,
but
she
cannot
finde
him
,
that
is
,
the
conscience
afflicted
with
the
wounds
of
sin
,
cannot
find
in
her
hart
any
assurance
of
Gods
fauour
,
in
the
remission
of
her
sinnes
.
But
for
answere
we
say
,
Seeke
yee
my
face
(
saith
the
Lord
)
my
hart
answered
(
saith
Dauid
)
thy
fa●e
will
I
seeke
,
hee
doth
not
say
,
thy
face
will
I
finde
,
but
seeke
,
to
shew
that
seeking
of
gods
fauour
is
a
grace
of
God
,
as
well
as
finding
of
God●
fauour
,
Seeke
and
yee
shall
find
(
saith
Christ
)
to
shew
that
Seek
the
Lord
(
saith
Esay
)
while
he
may
be
fouud
,
and
call
vpon
him
while
he
is
nigh
at
hand
:
to
shew
that
God
is
sought
for
by
inuocation
or
calling
vpon
his
name
,
long
before
hee
is
found
,
or
felt
gracious
vnto
vs
,
but
euen
then
he
is
nigh
at
hand
,
or
else
we
could
not
call
vpon
him
:
for
it
is
euen
his
spirit
that
sends
forth
our
prayers
,
and
helps
them
with
sighes
and
grones
,
and
if
hee
did
not
help
and
heaue
vp
our
dull
and
drowsie
spirits
,
we
should
neuer
once
flutter
towards
heauen
,
but
euen
lye
like
dead
blocks
,
sencelessely
groueling
vpon
the
ground
.
Again
,
whom
my
soule
loueth
,
which
very
loue
that
thou
bearest
to
Christ
,
is
a
note
of
the
sanctifying
spirit
of
God
.
Waite
on
God
and
be
not
so
cast
downe
,
for
he
is
thy
present
help
,
and
thy
God
.
As
a
sicke
man
taketh
meat
&
drink
,
and
phisick
,
though
it
goeth
against
the
stomacke
,
and
his
stomacke
so
weake
that
it
casteth
vp
all
againe
,
yet
hee
hath
a
desire
to
brooke
it
,
and
doth
striue
to
keepe
it
,
and
at
last
it
worketh
strength
:
so
is
it
with
the
sick
&
distempred
Soule
.
There
is
a
defect
in
the
stomacke
,
or
in
the
pallat
,
or
in
some
other
part
of
the
body
,
which
hindreth
the
working
of
corporall
phisick
;
so
in
the
inward
man
,
there
may
be
a
defect
in
the
vnderstanding
which
may
bee
darkish
&
cloudy
,
or
in
the
vtterance
which
may
be
slow
,
or
in
the
memory
which
may
be
obliuious
,
or
in
the
Faith
which
may
be
weak
,
or
in
the
repentance
which
may
be
dull
,
or
in
the
will
which
may
be
waiward
,
or
in
the
Loue
which
may
be
cold
,
yet
in
all
these
remaine
a
double
com●ort
:
first
,
these
graces
are
in
truth
in
thee
,
for
thou
vnderstandest
aright
,
and
remembrest
the
best
things
,
and
beleeuest
the
word
,
and
repentest
in
truth
,
with
hatred
of
sinne
,
and
louest
God
and
his
word
euen
for
themselues
:
and
secondly
,
so
much
as
thou
vnderstandest
,
knowest
,
remembrest
,
beleeuest
&
louest
,
thou
affectest
&
embracest
in
hart
vnfainedly
,
and
desirest
to
grow
in
them
,
and
to
practise
them
,
all
which
are
blessed
signes
of
the
grace
of
God
.
And
lastly
,
if
thou
didst
once
feele
the
forgiuenes
of
thy
sinnes
,
and
God
fauourable
vnto
thee
in
his
sonne
Christ
,
and
now
wantest
that
feeling
,
know
that
for
some
iust
cause
,
it
is
taken
from
thee
,
either
to
humble
thee
,
or
to
make
thee
more
thankfull
when
thou
feelest
so
great
grace
bestowed
vpon
thee
,
or
to
make
it
come
againe
vnto
thee
,
after
thy
humiliation
,
&
tryall
of
thy
patience
,
with
greater
ioy
&
sweetnes
,
for
ioy
restored
is
sweeter
then
ioy
continued
.
That
God
that
hath
vouchsafed
of
his
great
goodnesse
to
shew
vs
in
some
measure
,
the
difference
betweene
the
treasures
of
the
earth
,
and
the
riches
of
his
kingdome
,
and
by
giuing
vs
the
one
doth
allure
vs
to
loue
and
accept
of
the
other
,
giue
vs
grace
so
to
seeke
and
vse
the
one
,
that
in
the
end
of
our
race
wee
may
obtaine
the
other
,
and
that
for
his
infinite
mercies
sake
in
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
and
all
sufficient
Sauiour
,
to
whom
with
the
Father
and
the
holy
Ghost
,
be
giuen
all
honour
and
glory
,
with
power
and
dominion
,
for
euer
and
euer
,
Amen
.
