My
sonne
keepe
my
words
,
and
hide
my
commandements
with
thee
.
Keepe
my
commandements
and
thou
shalt
liue
.
THis
text
containeth
an
exhortation
to
the
faithful
and
diligent
keeping
of
Gods
commandementes
,
with
a
promise
of
life
annexed
thervnto
.
And
the
doctrine
that
is
to
be
gathered
from
the
same
,
ariseth
partly
from
the
maner
of
speaking
that
is
there
vsed
,
and
partly
from
the
exhortation
.
The
manner
of
speaking
is
to
be
considered
in
the
two
first
wordes
,
My
sonne
.
Wherein
is
to
be
obserued
,
that
whosoeuer
is
the
partie
that
speaketh
,
he
speaketh
not
like
an
Emperour
nor
like
a
king
,
nor
like
a
Iudge
,
nor
like
a
maister
,
of
his
absolute
power
,
I
will
and
command
,
&c.
But
he
persuadeth
like
a
father
,
most
louingly
and
tenderly
.
Hee
doth
not
say
,
My
slaue
,
nor
my
ennemy
,
nor
my
seruaunt
,
nor
my
subiect
,
nor
my
friend
,
nor
my
brother
,
which
is
much
:
but
he
saith
,
My
sonne
,
which
is
more
;
a
name
of
loue
,
and
a
title
of
the
greatest
loue
that
can
be
.
The
loue
of
a
Prince
is
great
,
the
loue
of
a
friend
is
great
,
the
loue
of
a
brother
is
great
,
the
loue
of
husbands
and
wiues
is
great
,
but
the
loue
of
father
and
mother
to
their
children
,
is
like
the
loue
of
Ionathan
to
Dauid
:
It
is
wonderfull
passing
Esay
)
can
a
woman
forget
her
child
?
As
if
he
should
say
,
My
sonne
,
perswadeth
by
all
loues
,
and
sheweth
that
whatsoeuer
hee
counselleth
or
reprooueth
,
it
is
not
of
mallice
,
or
enuy
to
hurt
vs
,
but
of
singular
loue
and
care
to
doe
vs
good
.
We
are
further
to
consider
of
two
principall
circumstances
:
one
is
of
the
person
that
spake
these
words
:
the
other
is
of
the
partie
to
whom
they
were
spoken
.
Now
the
question
is
not
of
his
fatherly
affection
vnto
his
children
:
for
of
that
we
are
persuaded
:
nor
of
his
fatherly
authoritie
ouer
his
children
,
for
that
is
graunted
,
nor
of
his
childrens
duetie
towardes
him
,
for
that
is
acknowledged
:
but
now
the
question
of
his
person
,
and
who
it
is
,
that
heere
saith
,
My
sonne
,
that
hee
might
be
reuerenced
:
and
who
they
are
to
whom
this
title
of
Sonnes
doth
belong
that
they
might
not
neglect
to
doe
their
dutie
.
If
thou
knewest
(
saith
the
Lord
Iesus
to
the
woman
of
Samaria
)
who
it
is
that
saith
vnto
thee
giue
mee
drinke
,
thou
wouldest
haue
asked
of
him
,
and
hee
would
haue
giuen
thee
water
of
life
.
So
if
wee
knewe
who
it
is
that
heere
saith
,
My
sonne
,
and
giueth
counsell
like
a
father
in
matters
of
this
life
,
we
would
aske
of
him
,
and
he
would
giue
vs
counsell
to
eternal
life
.
Let
vs
know
then
who
it
is
that
saith
,
My
sonne
,
whose
voice
is
it
?
what
,
is
it
the
voice
of
God
or
of
man
?
is
it
from
heauen
or
from
earth
,
or
from
whence
is
it
?
For
the
better
finding
out
of
this
point
wee
are
to
consider
that
as
these
names
of
Father
and
Sonne
be
often
vsed
in
this
booke
of
Prouerbs
,
so
they
are
not
alwaies
the
words
of
one
,
and
the
selfe
same
partie
.
They
are
somtimes
to
be
vnderstood
of
God
and
of
his
Church
:
as
in
the
1.
chapter
,
verse
8.
They
are
sometimes
to
be
vnderstood
of
Salomon
and
the
members
of
Gods
Church
,
as
chap.
4.
ver.
1.
They
are
somtime
to
be
vnderstood
onely
of
Dauid
the
father
of
Salomon
Bethsheba
,
Salomons
mother
vnto
Salomon
her
sonne
,
as
in
chap.
30.
ver.
1.
But
most
commonly
they
are
the
wordes
of
God
and
Salomon
togither
,
and
are
spoken
to
the
members
of
the
Church
in
generall
,
and
so
they
are
to
be
vnderstoode
,
when
there
is
no
manifest
difference
,
as
there
is
in
the
places
before
mentioned
.
In
this
exhortation
,
these
words
My
sonne
,
are
to
be
taken
as
the
words
of
God
the
common
father
of
all
his
creatures
,
but
especially
of
his
Church
in
generall
,
and
they
are
also
the
wordes
of
Salomon
a
notable
instrument
in
the
Church
of
God
,
My
sonne
,
saith
God
,
&
my
son
saith
Salomon
:
for
this
is
Gods
worde
,
though
Salomons
writing
,
because
Salomon
writeth
as
the
holy
Ghost
inditeth
,
My
sonne
,
saith
God
,
by
the
ministery
of
Salomon
,
naming
no
body
,
because
he
speakes
to
euery
one
that
will
follow
his
counsell
,
of
what
nation
,
or
of
what
countrie
,
or
of
what
language
,
or
of
what
yeares
,
of
what
estate
and
conditition
soeuer
he
be
,
My
sonne
,
saith
Salomon
in
the
person
of
God
,
naming
no
body
,
yet
speaking
to
all
that
shal
either
heare
or
read
his
writings
,
that
at
the
verie
entrance
,
(
the
dores
being
of
loue
)
they
may
be
in
loue
with
the
whole
frame
of
his
counsell
,
&
haue
a
delight
to
dwell
therein
.
My
sonne
,
saith
God
,
by
the
ministerie
of
Salomon
,
that
wee
might
perceiue
what
loue
hee
beareth
to
vs
,
and
knowe
what
dutie
we
beare
to
him
:
My
son
saith
Salomon
in
the
person
of
God
,
to
teach
all
teachers
with
what
affection
to
teach
the
Lords
people
,
and
to
shewe
all
hearers
what
accompt
they
must
make
of
their
teachers
.
My
sonne
,
saith
God
,
to
teach
vs
that
all
his
care
is
to
doe
vs
good
;
and
if
we
follow
his
counsell
,
it
is
the
better
for
our selues
,
hee
is
neuer
the
better
for
it
:
and
therefore
that
all
our
care
and
studie
must
be
to
aduance
him
,
and
to
direct
all
our
actions
to
his
glorie
,
as
he
hath
directed
his
glorie
to
our
good
,
So
that
these
wordes
My
sonne
,
are
to
be
considered
after
a
double
manner
of
speaking
;
First
as
spoken
by
God
the
first
authour
of
them
,
next
as
proceeding
from
Salomon
the
minister
of
God
,
and
so
much
briefly
for
the
persons
by
whom
they
were
spoken
.
The
persons
which
are
called
sonnes
.
NOw
we
are
to
consider
of
the
persons
that
are
called
by
the
title
of
sonnes
,
and
because
God
is
first
in
order
,
we
will
first
see
of
whom
hee
speaketh
,
in
this
place
,
when
hee
saith
,
My
sonne
,
for
many
be
called
the
sonnes
of
God
,
in
the
scripture
,
and
they
are
of
three
sorts
,
some
are
by
nature
the
sons
of
God
,
some
are
by
adoption
the
sonnes
of
God
,
and
some
for
their
exellencie
,
are
called
the
children
of
God
.
By
nature
,
none
is
the
sonne
of
God
,
but
Iesus
Christ
onely
,
who
was
begotten
from
all
eternitie
,
of
his
fathers
S.
Iohn
speaketh
,
by
way
of
administration
,
Behold
,
(
saith
he
)
what
loue
the
father
hath
giuen
to
vs
,
that
we
The
Angels
are
called
the
children
of
God
.
Iob
1.
6.
&
Iob
2.
chap.
and
1
verse
.
When
the
children
of
God
stood
before
the
Lord
,
Sathan
came
also
and
stood
amongst
them
.
&c.
And
they
are
so
called
,
partly
for
their
excellent
state
and
condition
,
but
principally
,
for
their
willingnesse
and
readines
,
to
doo
the
will
of
God
.
Sometime
also
the
Lord
is
called
our
father
,
in
respect
of
our
creation
onely
,
as
in
Mat.
2.
10.
Haue
we
not
all
one
father
?
hath
not
one
God
made
vs
?
and
in
Esa.
64.
8.
But
now
thou
O
Lord
art
our
father
,
we
are
the
clay
,
thou
art
our
potter
,
&
we
are
the
worke
of
thy
handes
.
So
Adam
is
called
the
sonne
of
God
by
immediate
creation
,
in
the
3
of
S.
Luke
.
the
last
verse
.
In
this
respect
God
is
a
common
father
not
found
out
many
inuentions
,
but
we
shal
neuer
find
that
God
vouchsafed
to
call
any
reprobat
in
the
scripture
,
by
the
name
of
his
sonne
.
Non
tam
praestanti
reprobos
dignatur
honore
.
He
did
neuer
honour
them
with
so
excellent
a
title
.
Many
are
so
called
and
so
accoumpted
amongst
men
,
which
doe
iudge
onely
by
the
outwarde
appearance
,
but
when
they
come
before
the
Lord
,
whose
waies
are
not
our
waies
,
and
whose
thoughts
So
God
is
called
the
father
of
the
reprobate
,
because
he
first
created
them
,
but
yet
they
can
no
more
be
called
the
children
of
God
,
than
the
tentes
might
be
called
the
children
of
Iabal
,
or
the
harps
and
organs
the
children
of
his
brother
Iubal
.
But
when
the
scriptures
do
speak
of
God
,
as
he
is
a
father
not
onely
by
creation
,
but
also
by
adoption
,
then
is
the
title
of
sonnes
also
therewithal
bestowed
vpon
those
whom
he
hath
created
,
because
he
hath
also
adopted
them
to
be
haires
of
his
kingdome
through
Christ
,
but
it
is
limited
onely
to
the
elect
,
which
do
receiue
him
by
faith
,
as
in
Iohn
1.
12.
As
many
as
receiued
him
,
to
them
he
gaue
prerogatiue
,
to
be
called
the
sons
of
God
.
So
doth
the
Apostle
Paul
also
restraine
the
title
of
Gods
children
onely
to
the
godly
.
As
manie
as
are
led
by
the
spirite
of
God
(
saith
he
)
are
the
sonnes
of
God
.
And
because
the
reprobate
And
least
anie
shoulde
deceiue
themselues
,
The
Lord
Iesus
hath
laid
downe
an
euerlasting
rule
;
By
their
fruits
you
shall
know
them
.
And
the
sword
of
the
spirite
,
because
it
doth
not
try
And
as
the
elect
are
like
Trees
planted
by
the
waters
side
,
which
doe
bring
forth
fruite
in
due
season
:
Now
let
vs
come
to
the
matter
in
hand
.
We
haue
heard
who
be
called
the
sonnes
of
God
.
how
this
title
is
giuen
to
the
Lord
Iesus
,
how
to
Angels
,
and
how
to
men
hath
been
also
declared
,
but
to
imagine
that
in
this
place
it
were
spoken
to
the
Lord
Iesus
,
were
no
lesse
than
blasphemy
,
because
he
was
euer
without
sinne
,
and
to
enquire
,
whether
it
were
spoken
to
the
Angels
or
no
,
were
vaine
curiositie
.
Now
if
it
be
man
to
whom
the
Lord
saith
,
My
son
,
as
it
is
indeede
,
O
Lord
what
is
man
,
that
thou
doost
speak
so
kindly
to
him
?
or
the
sonne
of
man
that
thou
doest
so
regarde
him
.
Againe
,
if
it
be
spoken
to
man
,
how
art
thou
O
Man
,
gotten
into
such
fauour
with
God
,
which
sometimes
thou
hadst
lost
?
How
happy
and
honourable
are
those
men
,
which
are
the
sonnes
of
God
.
But
is
it
spoken
to
me
in
deede
?
what
,
to
sinfull
and
miserable
man
?
and
are
the
sonnes
of
Adam
among
the
sons
of
God
,
as
Saul
was
amongst
the
prophets
,
is
the
prodigall
son
come
home
againe
?
is
it
for
him
that
such
costly
robes
are
brought
forth
?
and
is
it
he
that
his
father
went
out
to
meete
,
and
so
louingly
embraced
?
is
this
he
whom
he
saluted
with
such
sweete
kisses
,
and
teares
of
ioy
?
was
it
for
him
,
that
the
fat
calfe
was
killed
?
and
is
all
this
feasting
and
reioycing
for
his
returne
,
as
though
he
had
neuer
offended
?
surely
so
it
should
seeme
.
But
what
shall
man
now
giue
vnto
God
,
for
so
greate
loue
and
fauour
,
or
how
shall
we
shew
our selues
thankfull
,
for
such
kindnesse
vndeserued
?
Surely
this
is
the
Lordes
doing
,
and
it
is
wonderfull
in
our
eyes
,
but
that
our
profit
may
encrease
to
the
further
instruction
of
our
iudgmente
,
and
comfort
of
our
faith
,
we
will
by
the
grace
of
God
,
set
downe
certain
pointes
,
to
consider
of
,
and
by
this
text
to
be
examined
.
First
we
will
consider
how
or
by
what
meanes
we
are
come
into
this
fauour
with
God
,
and
how
we
are
come
by
the
knowledge
thereof
.
Secondly
we
will
see
the
exellencie
of
the
children
of
God
aboue
other
men
.
Thirdly
we
will
enquire
what
duety
the
children-of
God
do
owe
vnto
God
their
heauenly
father
,
wherby
they
may
shew
themselues
thankful
for
such
fauour
restored
.
Fourthly
we
will
consider
,
why
the
Lord
both
here
and
els
where
vseth
these
wordes
,
My
sonne
,
Last
of
all
we
will
see
what
may
bee
gathered
from
them
as
they
bee
the
words
of
Solomon
.
How
we
are
made
the
sonnes
of
God
.
NOw
touching
the
First
point
,
if
we
be
the
sonnes
of
God
,
then
God
is
our
father
,
the
church
of
god
is
our
mother
,
the
members
of
the
church
be
our
bretheren
,
and
the
kingdome
of
heauen
is
our
inheritance
.
This
purchase
the
father
hath
bestowed
vpon
vs
,
the
sonne
hath
bought
it
for
vs
,
and
the
holy
ghost
hath
sealed
vnto
vs
.
Of
this
couenant
God
is
the
author
,
the
sonne
of
God
is
the
purchaser
,
and
the
spirite
of
God
is
the
certifier
.
It
is
freely
graunted
,
it
is
fully
discharged
,
it
is
certainely
assured
,
and
shall
be
for
euer
possessed
.
This
prerogatiue
as
it
is
great
,
so
the
first
cause
thereof
was
the
infinite
loue
of
God
,
in
his
son
Iesus
Christ
.
It
is
the
free
gift
of
the
father
,
so
saith
the
sonne
,
Feare
not
litle
flocke
,
it
is
youre
fathers
pleasure
to
giue
you
a
kingdome
.
It
is
the
free
gift
My
sheepe
heare
my
voice
and
follow
me
,
and
I
giue
vnto
them
eternall
life
.
It
is
also
the
gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
so
saith
the
prophet
Dauid
,
Lord
let
thy
good
spirite
lead
me
into
the
land
of
righteousnesse
,
The
euidence
or
assurance
which
we
haue
to
shew
for
this
priuiledge
,
is
Gods
promise
,
which
is
surely
ratified
in
heauen
,
by
the
eternall
decree
of
the
holy
Trinitie
,
as
it
were
,
by
an
euerlasting
Act
of
Parlement
,
neuer
to
be
repealed
,
wherunto
the
father
,
the
word
,
and
the
spirite
,
do
beare
sufficient
witnesse
,
If
therefore
we
receiue
the
witnesse
of
men

aboue

Their

BVt
by
this
small
tast
we
may
learn
in
what
accompt
to
haue

of
God
,
because
God
hath
them
in
so
high
accompt
himselfe

for
shall
not
wee
honour
those
whom
God
doth
honour
?
shall
anie
man
hate
those
whom
God
doth
loue
?
or
despise
those
in
whom
the
Lord
doth
take
delight
?
doe
not
we
loue
them
which
loue
our
children
,
and
doe
not
our
heartes

too
,
arise
against
them
which
misuse
our
children
?
And
shall
not
God
who
exceedeth
all
fathers
in

,
much
more
loue
those
which
loue
his
children
?
and
shall
not
his
heart

too
arise
in
his
heauie
wrath
and
displeasure
against
such
as
misuse
his
children
,
either
in
word
or
deede
?
If
we
loue
anie
man

wee
loue

The
duetie
of
Gods
Children

NOw
let
vs
see
what
God
requireth
of
his
children
,
whereby
they
may
in
some
poore
measure
shewe
themselues
thankefull
to
his
Maiestie
,
for
this
excellent
estate
whereunto
he
hath
called
them
.
As
their
dignitie
is
great
,
so
their
duetie
must
needs
be
great
,
because
much
is
required
,
where
much
is
If
I
be
your
father
,
saith
the
Lord
,
where
is
my
honour
.
Then
honour
is
required
,
and
God
looketh
to
be
honoured
of
his
children
.
Honour
thy
father
and
thy
mother
,
saith
the
commandement
,
that
is
,
heare
them
and
regard
them
,
reuerence
and
obey
them
,
feare
them
and
loue
them
,
mantaine
them
and
their
credit
to
the
vtmost
,
defend
their
persons
,
and
their
honest
quarrels
,
and
take
their
part
against
all
that
rise
vp
against
them
.
If
such
honour
be
due
to
our
earthly
parents
,
which
are
but
instrumentes
of
our
good
vnder
God
,
what
honour
is
due
to
our
heauenly
father
in
whom
our
Parentes
and
we
doe
liue
,
and
moue
,
and
haue
our
being
.
Euerie
one
will
say
that
God
is
their
father
,
and
they
are
Gods
children
,
God
forbid
els
they
say
,
and
yet
many
of
them
care
not
how
litle
they
heare
his
worde
except
they
may
heare
when
they
list
,
or
from
whom
they
list
:
Some
say
,
vrge
doctrine
,
let
application
alone
:
some
say
,
teach
maners
,
but
let
doctrine
alone
;
and
some
care
for
neither
of
both
:
some
say
preach
mercie
,
&
not
iudgement
,
we
will
heare
the
Gospel
,
but
not
the
lawe
,
and
some
are
indifferent
what
they
heare
,
so
that
it
doth
not
touch
them
.
And
most
men
are
like
Ezechiels
auditors
,
that
do
heare
as
the
people
vse
to
do
,
but
with
their
mouthes
they
iest
it
out
,
and
as
much
reckoning
doe
they
make
of
the
preacher
&
his
sermon
,
as
they
doe
of
a
fidler
and
his
song
,
and
not
so
much
:
for
they
will
giue
him
the
hearing
:
but
they
meane
to
doe
stil
as
they
did
,
say
God
what
he
wil.
What
do
these
men
say
in
effect
but
thus
much
?
O
Lord
we
are
content
to
be
children
,
and
thou
shalt
be
our
father
,
so
that
we
may
haue
what
we
will
,
and
say
what
we
will
,
and
do
what
we
will
:
like
Naash
Iabesh
Gilead
,
vpon
condition
that
he
might
put
out
all
their
right
eies
,
and
bring
all
that
shame
vpon
Israel
.
But
what
saith
the
Lord
?
If
I
be
your
father
,
where
is
mine
honour
?
to
shewe
that
they
cannot
be
the
children
of
God
,
which
would
so
dishonor
him
,
and
bring
such
a
shame
vpon
him
:
therefore
where
is
my
honour
saith
God
,
if
you
be
my
children
?
In
effect
it
is
as
much
as
if
he
should
say
,
Why
doe
you
not
listen
to
my
commandements
and
obey
them
.
Why
do
you
not
receiue
my
instructions
,
and
beare
my
reprehensions
.
But
(
as
though
I
had
no
authority
ouer
you
)
will
you
cast
off
the
yoke
of
my
gouernment
?
as
though
you
were
wiser
than
I
,
will
you
cast
behinde
you
all
my
counsels
?
As
though
I
knew
not
what
I
did
,
will
you
censure
and
controll
me
and
my
waies
?
will
you
appoint
me
how
I
shal
be
worshipped
?
must
all
be
as
you
will
?
Hiccene
honos
qui
debetur
mihi
?
doe
my
children
thus
honour
me
?
or
am
I
a
father
vnto
such
children
?
No
saith
the
Lord
,
I
am
no
father
to
such
,
except
you
wil
regard
all
my
counsels
,
and
obey
all
my
lawes
,
and
that
continually
at
all
Now
if
wee
could
remember
alwaies
with
what
titles
of
honor
the
Lord
hath
honoured
vs
,
it
would
make
vs
ashamed
to
serue
the
world
,
or
the
deuill
,
or
our selues
in
anie
thing
.
When
some
went
about

Should

to

,
or
so
beastly
affected
?
No
,
be
ye
holy
,
for
I
am
holy
(
saith
the
Lord
)
to
shew
that
vnholinesse
doth
A
heathen
man
being
asked
,
why
he
did
weare
such
a
long
bushie
beard
,
he
aunswered
,
that
so
often
as
he
beheld
it
,
he
might
commit
nothinn
vnworthie
the
grauitie
of
the
same
,
he
would
not
be
like
a
Tauerne
with
a
bushe
at
the
dore
,
and
no
wine
within
.
So
now
,
if
any
man
aske
vs
,
why
God
hath
giuen
vs
the
titles
of
Gods
children
,
and
why
we
are
called
christians
,
the
church
of
Christ
,
the
spouse
of
Christ
,
Citizens
of
heauen
,
and
by
such
like
names
,
of
loue
and
honour
,
let
vs
aunswere
(
as
he
did
)
that
so
often
as
we
remember
our
names
and
our
titles
,
we
might
commit
nothing
vnworthie
the
grauity
and
maiesty
of
the
same
.
And
that
is
one
speciall
reason
why
euery
man
hath
his
name
giuen
him
in
his
baptisme
,
that
so
often
as
we
are
called
by
our
names
,
we
might
cal
to
mind
our
baptisme
,
and
what
we
promised
It
is
counted
a
shame
for
a
citizen
to
go
like
a
courtier
,
or
for
a
courtier
to
go
like
a
carter
,
but
if
a
man
put
on
womans
apparrell
,
or
a
woman
put
on
mans
apparrell
,
that
is
an
abomination
.
And
shall
it
not
be
When
the
Lord
of
life
was
put
to
death
,
there
was
darknesse
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
the
vaile
of
the
Temple
rent
,
the
graues
opened
,
and
the
dead
arose
,
and
went
forth
,
with
other
things
which
were
seene
afore
,
at
the
sight
whereof
the
very
enemies
of
Christ
which
watched
him
,
were
afraide
for
that
they
had
done
vnto
him
,
yea
they
were
constrained
to
confesse
and
say
,
Doubtles
this
man
was
the
sonne
of
God
.
So
if
we
be
dead
with
Christ
our
head
,
vnto
sinne
,
as
he
was
dead
for
our
sinnes
,
there
will
follow
a
wonderfull
alteration
in
our
liues
.
There
will
appeare
such
zeale
in
professing
the
Gospell
,
such
pittie
in
releeuing
the
poore
,
such
patience
in
bearing
the
crosse
,
such
faithfulnesse
in
performing
of
promises
,
such
charitie
in
iudging
our
brethren
,
such
compassion
in
condemning
malefactors
,
such
loue
in
reproouing
of
faultes
,
such
mercie
in
forgiuing
offences
,
such
sinceritie
in
worshipping
of
God
,
such
constancie
in
defending
of
the
trueth
,
such
watching
ouer
all
our
waies
,
and
such
wisedome
in
winning
men
to
God
,
that
our
very
ennemies
which
before
did
mocke
vs
,
hate
vs
,
and
perseeute
vs
,
shal
be
constrained
with
shame
enough
to
say
,
These
were
no
doubt
the
children
of
God
,
these
were
good
men
,
these
were
true
professors
indeed
:
for
such
fruites
and
effects
doe
follow
their
profession
,
as
are
not
commonly
seen
in
the
liues
of
others
.
Wherefore
,
to
conclude
this
point
.
Let
not
the
king
go
like
a
Kesar
:
Let
not
the
captaine
runne
away
like
a
coward
:
Let
not
the
tree
Nowe
let
vs
see
why
the
Lord
both
in
this
place
,
and
so
often
in
this
booke
of
Prouerbes
,
doth
vse
these
wordes
,
My
son
,
as
also
,
why
he
doth
not
say
,
My
sonnes
,
in
the
plurall
number
,
seeing
hee
speakes
to
all
the
church
in
general
;
but
,
My
son
,
in
the
singular
number
,
as
though
he
spake
but
to
one
alone
,
that
so
we
may
make
that
vse
of
them
,
for
which
they
were
left
vnto
the
Church
.
And
least
wee
should
thinke
this
to
be
more
than
neede
,
wee
are
to
knowe
,
that
as
the
holyest
speaketh
nothing
in
vaine
,
so
doth
hee
not
speake
anie
worde
at
all
aduenture
,
but
in
singular
wisedome
,
and
in
most
excellent
order
hath
hee
handled
euerie
Treatise
,
and
placed
euerie
sentence
,
euerie
word
,
and
euerie
letter
.
To
great
purpose
it
is
don
,
and
ought
accordingly
to
be
considered
:
for
,
when
heauen
and
earth
shall
passe
,
not
one
iot
or
tittle
of
Well
go
to
then
,
we
will
not
lightly
passe
ouer
this
preface
,
as
we
haue
don
,
as
if
they
were
but
words
of
course
,
for
there
is
more
in
them
then
we
thinke
there
were
,
for
in
deed
,
there
is
more
contained
in
these
two
wordes
,
My
sonne
,
than
(
some
thinke
)
can
be
gathered
out
of
two
chapters
,
yea
ij
books
.
I
will
not
say
the
whole
booke
of
God
,
but
let
vs
see
,
why
the
Lord
vseth
to
speake
so
vnto
miserable
men
,
and
why
he
speaketh
in
the
singular
number
,
as
to
one
alone
,
when
that
which
he
saith
concerneth
not
only
one
man
,
but
the
whole
church
of
God
,
that
we
may
also
vse
them
to
that
ende
,
for
which
they
were
set
downe
.
Surely
the
Lord
of
mercy
,
(
knowing
where
of
we
be
made
,
and
seeing
Here
therefore
,
and
often
in
this
booke
,
the
Lorde
of
heauen
and
earth
,
speaketh
no
otherwise
,
vnto
his
church
than
a
father
doth
to
his
child
,
My
sonne
,
(
saith
he
)
yea
he
taketh
vpon
him
the
person
of
a
father
,
and
speaketh
like
a
father
most
louingly
,
kindly
and
alluringly
,
saying
My
sonne
,
partly
to
persuade
vs
to
heare
our
duetie
,
partly
to
encourage
and
confirme
vs
in
the
discharge
of
our
duetie
,
partly
to
comfort
vs
,
when
we
be
in
troble
for
doing
our
duetie
,
but
principally
to
teach
vs
,
that
whatsoeuer
obedience
we
yeeld
vnto
God
,
wee
must
performe
it
with
a
sonne-like
affection
,
and
whatsoeuer
fauour
God
sheweth
vnto
vs
,
it
commeth
from
a
fatherly
compassion
.
And
lastly
that
al
our
obedience
is
accepted
of
him
,
and
all
his
loue
,
is
bestowed
vppon
vs
,
onely
because
wee
are
his
children
in
Christ
,
but
for
no
cause
of
worthinesse
that
is
in
our selues
.
So
that
these
wordes
,
My
sonne
,
(
proceeding
from
God
to
men
)
are
words
of
persuasion
,
they
are
words
of
encouragement
,
they
are
wordes
of
comfort
,
and
they
are
wordes
of
instruction
:
They
are
in
a
word
like
the
tree
of
life
(
in
the
Reuelation
)
that
beareth
twelue
manner
of
fruit
,
euerie
moneth
;
whose
very
leaues
If
any
shall
say
,
Can
all
this
come
out
of
these
two
wordes
?
I
say
to
them
,
as
Philp
saide
in
another
case
to
Nathaniel
,
Come
and
see
.
But
are
they
not
of
power
sufficient
to
persuade
?
Surely
where
the
spirite
of
grace
is
,
they
are
sufficient
:
for
,
when
nothing
can
preuaile
with
a
childe
,
the
loue
and
authoritie
of
his
father
shall
preuaile
with
him
:
especially
,
if
the
thing
be
honest
and
lawfull
which
is
commanded
.
One
word
of
his
fathers
mouth
shall
persuade
more
than
1000.
of
another
.
How
these
wordes
,
My
sonne
,
do
serue
to
persuade
,
and
to
moue
affection
.
NOw
our
heauenly
father
commandeth
vs
nothing
but
things
honest
&
lawfull
,
neither
can
he
command
any
thing
els
;
for
it
is
against
his
nature
:
but
our
rebellious
hearts
naturally
doe
go
against
the
hearing
of
them
:
therefore
wee
had
need
of
some
oratour
to
persuade
vs
,
and
that
might
vse
some
good
argumentes
and
strong
reasons
to
moue
our
affections
.
The
Lord
doth
therfore
become
that
Oratour
himselfe
,
but
all
the
fine
eloquence
,
and
al
the
strong
argumentes
by
which
hee
would
mooue
affection
,
are
in
these
wordes
,
My
sonne
,
as
if
he
should
say
,
If
thou
wilt
heare
no
bodie
,
O
thou
rebellious
person
,
yet
thou
wilt
harken
to
the
voyce
of
thy
father
;
if
thou
wilt
not
regard
thy
Father
which
begat
thee
,
and
brought
thee
vp
,
whom
wilt
thou
regarde
?
Thy
father
speaketh
,
heare
him
.
I
loue
thee
with
a
fathers
loue
,
therefore
heare
,
I
haue
a
fathers
aucthoritie
ouer
thee
,
therefore
heare
mee
:
I
haue
a
fathers
interest
in
thee
,
therefore
regard
what
I
say
:
I
haue
a
fathers
care
ouer
thee
,
therefore
giue
eare
vnto
me
.
If
thou
be
my
sonne
,
heare
me
,
and
if
thou
louest
me
as
I
loue
thee
,
heare
mee
.
If
thou
hast
felt
the
power
of
my
loue
,
if
thou
haue
tasted
the
sweetnesse
of
my
loue
,
If
thou
haue
known
the
greatnesse
of
my
loue
,
which
I
haue
shed
abundantly
vpon
thee
,
when
I
gaue
Iesus
Christ
for
thee
,
I
know
thou
wilt
not
stoppe
thy
eares
,
but
wilt
both
regard
me
and
obey
me
,
whatsouer
reasons
or
persuasions
thou
hast
receiued
,
or
maiest
receiue
of
the
worlde
,
or
the
deuill
,
or
thy
owne
false
heart
,
to
the
contrarie
.
Nowe
when
the
Lorde
woulde
speake
all
this
in
one
worde
,
hee
sayth
,
My
sonne
:
Therefore
let
vs
remember
that
GOD
calleth
vs
sonnes
,
and
wee
call
him
father
:
for
wee
say
,
Our
father
,
&c.
and
it
sufficeth
.
Nay
more
(
saith
the
Lord
)
Remember
that
I
call
thee
not
onely
a
sonne
,
but
my
sonne
:
and
remember
that
thou
haue
not
onely
a
father
,
but
that
I
am
thy
father
,
no
man
,
nor
Angell
,
nor
anie
person
of
meane
estate
,
but
the
almightie
God
of
heauen
and
earth
,
the
King
of
kinges
,
and
Lord
of
lords
,
euen
the
King
of
glorie
,
and
the
Lord
of
hostes
,
mightie
in
battaile
,
whose
My
sonne
,
Remember
this
,
My
sonne
,
and
be
persuaded
.
Thus
wee
see
howe
the
Lord
doth
as
it
were
adiure
vs
by
the
loue
,
and
authoritie
of
a
father
,
and
by
the
loue
and
duetie
of
a
sonne
,
to
heare
his
word
,
and
obey
his
commandementes
.
Therefore
doe
these
two
words
,
My
sonne
,
runne
from
one
to
another
so
often
in
this
booke
of
Prouerbs
,
whatsoeuer
matter
almost
he
hath
in
hand
.
Father
and
Sonne
,
must
go
before
as
common
Oratours
to
get
attention
,
and
to
mooue
affection
:
to
shew
vs
that
if
anie
thing
will
draw
a
man
to
God
,
it
is
the
feeling
and
consideration
of
his
loue
in
Christ
:
and
hee
that
will
not
yeeld
,
when
hee
is
thus
charmed
,
will
hee
euer
be
wonne
?
And
hee
that
shall
runne
from
God
,
when
hee
seeth
the
white
auncient
,
with
the
colours
of
mercie
and
fauour
displaied
,
when
wil
he
come
and
humble
himselfe
to
God
?
Therefore
Salomon
saith
,
That
louing
This
knew
the
old
counsellers
of
Salomon
well
inough
,
and
therefore
when
Rehoboam
(
who
succeeded
Salomon
)
asked
them
,
what
course
he
My
sonne
,
the
badge
of
loue
vpon
it
.
When
God
commaunded
Abraham
to
sacrifice
his
sonne
Isaac
,
he
was
ready
to
do
it
.
So
deare
was
the
loue
of
God
vnto
him
,
but
if
all
the
world
besides
had
persuaded
him
therevnto
,
he
would
neuer
haue
yeelded
.
God
doth
not
commaund
vs
to
sacrifice
our
sonnes
,
but
our
sinnes
,
least
they
sacrifice
vs
,
now
if
we
thinke
our selues
as
much
beholding
to
God
as
Abraham
was
,
we
wil
not
spare
them
,
though
they
be
as
necessarie
for
vs
,
as
our
right
hand
,
or
as
profitable
vnto
vs
as
our
right
eye
.
If
Iudas
had
been
the
child
But
the
faithfull
indeed
,
hearing
My
son
,
let
vs
looke
for
no
more
eloquence
,
to
entice
vs
,
nor
reasons
to
persuade
vs
,
for
heare
is
eloquence
inough
,
&
reasons
inow
,
and
learning
inough
,
and
fathers
inow
to
persuade
any
man
that
hath
the
spirit
of
God
in
him
,
and
whosoeuer
doth
not
find
the
cords
of
Gods
loue
,
and
authoritie
strong
inough
,
to
knit
his
hearte
vnto
the
statutes
of
the
Lord
,
he
hath
good
cause
to
suspect
himselfe
as
yet
,
that
he
is
not
the
child
of
God
.
Why
,
My
sonne
,
in
the
singular
number
,
and
not
my
sonnes
.
NOw
we
will
see
,
why
the
Lord
saith
not
My
sonnes
,
in
the
plurall
number
,
seeing
as
he
speaketh
to
all
his
children
,
but
My
sonne
,
as
if
it
concerned
but
onely
one
body
.
This
is
partly
for
the
particular
encouragement
and
confirmation
of
euery
one
in
his
duety
,
and
partly
for
the
particular
comfort
of
euery
one
of
Gods
children
,
when
he
shall
be
troubled
for
doing
of
his
duety
,
for
when
the
Lord
in
particular
shall
giue
euery
one
his
charge
,
then
if
any
man
be
offended
at
him
,
he
may
shew
his
warrant
,
and
say
thus
,
Sir
the
Lord
did
not
speake
generally
to
all
,
least
one
should
post
it
off
to
another
,
but
he
speaketh
particularly
to
me
,
aswell
as
to
another
,
and
therefore
I
am
discharged
:
for
when
the
Lord
speaketh
indefinitly
meaning
none
,
he
excepteth
none
.
But
in
this
particular
kind
of
speaking
,
the
Lord
doth
binde
euery
one
of
his
children
in
particular
,
wholy
to
serue
him
,
and
none
els
,
so
therewithall
he
giueth
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
he
hath
a
speciall
eye
and
fatherly
care
ouer
euery
one
in
particular
,
that
is
his
childe
,
and
will
surely
protect
and
defend
him
as
his
childe
against
all
annoiances
watsoeuer
,
than
the
which
there
can
be
no
greater
comfort
,
whensoeuer
the
crosse
shall
come
.
But
we
will
first
see
,
how
they
doe
binde
vs
wholy
to
God
,
and
afterwarde
we
will
see
how
God
hath
bound
himselfe
to
vs
and
euery
one
of
vs
,
if
we
be
all
his
children
,
as
I
hope
we
be
.
Some
thinke
it
lawfull
to
serue
God
and
the
worlde
too
,
to
be
of
this
Reiiglon
and
of
that
Religion
too
,
to
goe
to
Bethell
the
house
of
God
and
to
Bethauen
,
the
house
of
Idolitrie
.
To
goe
with
Barnabas
and
Barrabas
,
and
to
ioyne
with
Simon
Magus
as
with
Simon
Peter
,
&
thinking
themselues
sufficiently
discharged
,
if
they
serue
God
a
little
now
and
then
,
or
if
they
keepe
their
consciences
to
themselues
,
and
giue
God
their
heartes
,
like
Protestantes
at
large
,
which
thinke
they
need
not
heare

Therefore
my
good
brother
when
any
such
temptations
do
beginne
to
fawne
vpon
thee
.
Remember
that
God
doth
here
call
euerie
particular
member
of
the
church
,
his
sonne
,
and
to
thee
therfore
he
saith
,
My
sonne
,
as
if
hee
should
say
,
None
may
haue
any
interest
in
thee
,
but
I.
Thou
art
mine
,
thou
art
not
theirs
,
Thy
creation
is
wholly
mine
,
thy
redemption
is
wholly
mine
,
&
thy
preseruation
is
wholly
mine
,
and
therefore
I
looke
that
thy
obedience
,
and
thy
seruice
,
and
thy
worship
,
and
thy
bodie
,
and
thy
soule
,
and
all
should
be
wholly
mine
.
And
good
reason
,
for
do
we
not
owe
all
to
him
of
whom
we
haue
receiued
all
?
Of
God
we
haue
receiued
all
that
we
haue
:
for
in
him
we
liue
,
and
moue
,
and
haue
our

My

if
he
should

If

if
thou

if
thou

if
thou

if
thou

If
thou

and
if
thou

returne

and
to

:
for
now
,
by
vertue
of
the
league
and
couenaunt
wherinto
thou
and
I
be
entered
,
thy
hearing
is
mine
,
thy

is
mine
,
thy

is
mine
,
thy
feare
is
mine
,
thy
obedience
is

,
thy

and
in
euery

therof
,
thou
must
be

therefore
remember
,
that
I

Againe

My

to

that
wee
be
not
our

men

but
our
fathers
,
which
is
in

If
we
be
not
our
own
men
,
but
the
Lords
,
then
we
must
not
be
at
our
own
appointment
,
but
at
his
in
euery
thing

To
euery
one
of
his
children
,
God
hath
appointed
a
place
,
&
a
standing
,
while
he
liueth
in
the
world
;
to
some
in
the
Church
,
and
to
some
in
the
commonwealth
.
Our
whole
taske
is
appointed
by
God
,
how
much
and
how
long
euerie
one
must
worke
in
his
place
,
God
must
appoint
:
looke
how
farre
euerie
one
is
to
go
by
his
heauenly
fathers
direction
,
so
farre
must
we
go
&
no
further
.
We
must
tarrie
till
God
doth
send
vs
,
and
no
longer
:
and
we
must
speake
all
that
our
father
in
heauen
doth
bid
vs
,
but
no
more

the

doth

haue
said

that

you
are
of
my
appointing

and
you
are

And
then
the
Lord
saith
to
one

My

thou

now
my

to
rule
for
me

to

to

Thou

But
remember
that
you
are
mine
still
,
and
not
your
owne
,
nor
at
anie
bodies
appointment
,
but
at
mine

And
therfore
,
see
that
you
gouerne

I
haue
taught
you

for
your
gouernment
is
my
gouernment

See
that
you

I

for
your

is
my

See
that
you
teach
as
I
haue
prescribed
,
for
your
doctrine
is
my

and
see
that
you
fight

What

tell
them
that
thy

is
for
holie
meditations

there
is
no

Whosoeuer

All
this
is
in
generall
,
but
now
more
particularly
,
suppose
I
bee
a
man
of
wealth
and
countenance
likely
to
beare
office
in
the
church
of
God
,
or
in
the
common
wealth
,
what
if
I
be
called
to
the
place
of
a
chiefe
Maiestrat
amongst
the
people
,
may
I
not
refuse
it
?
Thou
art
not
thy
owne
man
,
but
the
Lords
,
the
calling
is
not
mans
,
but
Gods
,
therefore
thou
maist
not
refuse
it

But
what
if
ease
and
selfeloue
would
persuade
me
to
buy
it
for

Tell
thy
ease
and
thy
selfeloue
,
that
thou
art
not
at

appointment
,
but
at
the
disposing
of
thy

this
be

But
suppose
,
that
I
be
a
minister
of
God
,
and
set
ouer
Gods
people
,
to
teach
them
the
waies
of
the
Lord
maie
I
not
turne
them
ouer
to
another
,
if
ease
or
profite
doe
call
me
?
surely
no
:
for
if
thou
bee
at
Gods
appointment
,
thou
must
keep
thy
standing
,
&
looke
to
that
flock
ouer
which
the
holy
ghost
hath
made
thee
an
ouerseer
.
What
if
mens
traditions
would
borrow
a
roome
in
my
study
?
turne
them
out
,
and
tell
them
,
that
thy
study
is
onely
for
the
law
of
God
,
but
what
if
popular
praise
and
vain-glory
would
persuade
me
to
make
a
shew
of
painted
eloquence
,
and
humane
learning
,
tell
them
that
thou
art
not
set
there
to
seek
thy selfe
,
but
Gods
people
,
not
thy
owne
glory
,
but
the
glorie
of
him
that
sent
thee
.
But
imagine
that
I
am
a
priuat
man
,
and
haue
a
trade
to
liue
vpon
,
and
a
family
to
looke
vnto
?
then
follow
that
,
but
what
if
I
see
thinges
out
of
order
in
the
church
,
may
I
not
helpe
to
put
them
in
order
againe
?
or
may
I
not
leaue
my
trade
and
become
a
minister
?
Surely
by
praier
and
supplication
thou
maiest
help
,
but
keepe
thy
standing
:
for
thou
art
not
thy
owne
man
to
forgoe
thy
place
at
thy
pleasure
.
As
for
the
ministery
,
it
is
to
be
born
by
such
as
haue
gifts
and
calling
for
it
,
as
the
Arke
was
to
be
carried
by
Leuites
,
and
not
by
Oxen.
But
what
if
the
Arke
be
readie
to
fall
,
may
not
I
step
to
and
hold
it
vp
?
Thou
art
not
thereunto
appoynted
.
Therefore
take
heed
Vzzah
,
least
thou
fall
thy selfe
before
the
Arke
.
Therefore
let
Auoide
,
for
it
is
written
,
Thou
shalt
worship
the
Lord
thy
God
,
and
him
only
shalt
thou
serue

And
thus
we
see
how
these
wordes
doe
binde
vs
particularly
,
and
wholly
to
our
heauenly
father
,
and
our
discharge
when
we
haue
done
our
duetie
to

How
these
wordes
My

doe
serue
for
our
consolation

NOw
we
will
see

for
the
comforting

how
the
Lord
in
these
wordes
My

doth
binde
himselfe
to
his

which
thing
(
being
duely

But
thou
doest

again
,
why
doest
thou
set
vp
thy

a

?
is
it
not
against
the
daie
of

?
So
doth
God
likewise
set
vp
the
vngodly
and
proud
men
a
fatting
,
euen
vntill
their

stand
out
with

:
but
is
it
not
But
why
doth
the
Lord
suffer
the
vngodly
so
to
vexe
his
Children
?
surely
,
because
they
are
his
rods
to
whip
them
withall
;
but
when
hee
hath
wel
corrected
his
children
,
and
worne
his
rod
to
the
stumps
,
the
rod
shal
be
cast
into
the
fire
:
and
as
scullions
of
the
kitchen
,
to
scoure
his
vessels
of
honour
,
so
doth
the
Lord
vse
all
the
wicked
ennemies
of
his
Church
,
euen
the
greatest
Tirantes
that
euer
were
.
But
,
why
doth
our
heauenly
father
keepe
his
children
so
bare
and
so
poore
as
they
be
manie
times
?
Neuer
maruell
at
that
:
for
thou
thy selfe
(
being
a
father
)
keepest
thy
child
bare
,
and
giuest
him
neuer
a
pennie
in
his
purse
:
thou
puttest
him
to
schoole
,
thou
doest
keep
him
vnder
,
and
giuest
him
but
from
hand
to
mouth
,
vntill
he
come
to
yeares
of
discretion
,
and
then
thou
doest
giue
him
more
large
allowance
:
and
when
his
time
is
come
,
he
possesseth
also
thy
inheritance
and
not
before
.
For
,
if
he
should
possesse
the
inheritance
,
when
hee
is
a
childe
or
a
youth
,
hee
would
waxe
proud
,
and
perhappes
spend
it
awaie
riotouslie
and
wastfullie
.
So
God
our
heauenlie
father
,
seeth
that
if
wee
should
haue
our
handes
full
,
and
want
nothing
,
we
would
waxe
proud
,
and
wanton
,
and
forget
God
(
as
manie
doe
)
or
we
would
spend
it
vainly
or
maliciously
,
or
(
as
S.
Iames
saith
)
vpon
our
pleasures
and
lustes
,
and
therefore
our
heauenly
father
,
doth
in
singular
wisdome
keepe
vs
vnder
manie
times
,
giuing
vs
but
from
hand
to
mouth
;
yet
doth
he
loue
vs
neuer
the
worse
for
all
that
,
but
the
better
:
and
when
the
time
of
re●eshing
is
come
from
the
Lord
,
it
shal
be
saide
Come
ye
blessed
children
of
my
Father
,
possesse
the
kingdome
prepared
for
you
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
.
But
in
the
meane
time
,
wee
must
looke
for
trouble
in
the
worlde
:
for
so
hath
our
Lord
Iesus
foretolde
vs
.
In
the
world
you
shall
haue
trouble
(
saith
but
be
of
good
cheare
,
I
haue
ouercome
the
world
:
that
victorie
is
not
for
himselfe
,
but
for
the
faithfull
.
And
as
for
trouble
&
affliction
,
the
Lord
doth
see
it
good
for
vs
,
that
we
may
learne
the
statutes
of
our
God
,
as
the
rod
is
necessarie
for
the
childe
,
without
which
he
would
waxe
brutish
,
and
barbarous

The

This
is
more
(
I
confesse
)
than
man
can
found
with
the
plummet
of
human
reason
,
neither
is
it
alwais
seen
with
the
eies
of
our

.
Therefore
I
beeloue
in
God
the
father
almightie
&c.
That
which
must
vpholde
our
faith
is
Gods
promise
,
and
his
power
.
So
was
Abraham
vpholden
and
was
persuaded
that
God
would
be
as
good
as
his
word
,
though
he
saw
no
worldly
reason
for
it
,
and
if
we
And
thus
we
see
,
how
these
two
words
,
My
sonne
,
do
not
onely
persuade
vs
to
here
God
,
and
bind
vs
entirely
to
serue
him
,
without
halting
in
our
calling
,
but
they
serue
also
to
comfort
vs
,
and
to
cheare
vs
vp
,
when
the
crosse
doth
meete
vs
in
doing
,
or
rather
in
neglecting
the
dueties
of
our
calling
.
How
these
words
,
My
sonne
,
do
serue
for
instruction
.
LAst
of
all
,
for
our
instruction
the
Lord
saith
,
My
son
,
to
teach
vs
that
if
we
doe
willingly
heare
him
when
he
teacheth
vs
,
if
we
diligently
obay
him
when
he
commaundeth
vs
,
and
if
we
patiently
suffer
him
,
when
he
correcteth
vs
,
he
will
(
no
doubt
)
haue
a
fatherly
care
ouer
vs
,
he
will
accept
of
our
sacrifices
,
and
heare
our
praiers
,
he
will
also
be
mercifull
to
our
sinnes
,
and
forgiue
vs
our
offences
,
he
will
deliuer
vs
from
hell
,
and
bring
vs
into
heauen
.
But
all
this
is
neither
for
our
hearing
,
nor
for
our
obaying
,
nor
for
our
suffering
,
nor
for
our
praying
,
nor
for
our
working
,
but
because
we
are
first
his
adopted
children
in
Iesus
christ
.
It
is
not
for
any
worthinesse
that
is
in
vs
,
but
for
the
worthinesse
of
the
Lord
Iesus
,
by
whose
meanes
we
are
become
his
sonnes
&
his
daughters
,
we
are
not
therfore
made
the
sons
of
God
,
because
we
heare
his
word
,
because
we
obay
his
commaundements
,
because
we
beare
the
crosse
,
or
for
any
other
thing
that
we
haue
done
,
or
possibly
can
doe
,
(
as
Papists
hold
)
but
therfore
we
heare
him
,
and
therfore
we
obay
him
,
and
therefore
we
suffer
him
,
and
therefore
we
loue
him
,
because
we
are
first
made
his
children
in
the
Lord
Iesus
.
Our
good
workes
are
not
the
cause
of
our
election
,
but
Gods
election
is
the
cause
of
our
good
works
,
for
he
hath
chosen
vs
,
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
in
him
that
is
in
Christ
,
before
the
foundation
of
the
world
,
that
wee
should
be
holy
and
blameles
before
him
in
loue
,
Therefore
we
hold
againe
,
that
all
our
poore
endeuours
are
accepted
of
God
,
and
rewarded
with
heauen
,
not
because
we
haue
wrought
them
,
our selues
,
(
as
the
(
Paule
doth
)
It
is
neither
in
him
that
willeth
,
Therefore
saith
Saint
Iohn
,
Blessed
are
the
dead
which
die
in
the
Lord
:
that
is
,
in
the
faith
of
the
Lord
Iesus
:
for
they
shall
rest
from
their
labours
,
and
their
workes
shall
followe
them
:
that
is
,
God
accepteth
of
them
,
and
their
workes
which
are
in
the
Lord
,
but
none
els
.
By
this
place
our
Papistes
woulde
prooue
that
our
workes
doe
merite
heauen
.
But
from
hence
wee
may
gather
more
truely
,
that
none
haue
a
right
faith
in
Christ
,
but
those
which
haue
good
workes
to
accompanie
them
,
when
they
dye
in
the
Lord
.
But
to
gather
heereupon
,
that
they
merite
,
wee
cannot
:
for
then
they
shoulde
goe
before
our
being
in
the
Lord
,
and
be
a
cause
thereof
:
but
nowe
we
see
,
that
they
followe
our
being
in
the
Lord
.
Againe
,
the
workes
doe
not
beautifie
the
man
in
the
Lord
,
but
the
man
in
the
Lorde
doth
beautifie
the
workes
,
as
the
Temple
sanctified
Last
of
all
,
the
Argument
doth
not
hold
,
our
workes
are
rewarded
;
therfore
they
merite
:
for
then
none
should
be
rewarded
,
but
he
that
did
merite
first
:
then
the
seruant
should
be
before
the
heire
,
because
hee
taketh
more
paines
than
the
other
doth
,
and
yet
the
heire
hath
the
land
,
because
he
was
the
sonne
before
.
So
,
we
are
first
borne
the
sons
of
God
by
faith
in
Christ
,
and
so
we
are
made
fellow
heires
with
him
of
My
sonne
,
is
not
put
out
to
them
,
because
they
haue
broken
the
conditions
of
peace
.
Our
Popish
merit-mongers
are
like
the
elders
of
the
Iewes
,
which
went
to
Christ
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Centurion
,
for
his
sicke
seruaunt
.
They
besought
him
instantly
(
as
though
they
might
not
be
denied
)
But
what
saide
the
Centurion
himselfe
?
O
Lord
(
saith
he
)
trouble
not
thou
thy selfe
,
for
I
am
not
worthy
,
that
thou
shouldest
enter
vnder
my
roofe
:
neyther
did
I
thinke
my selfe
worthie
to
come
vnto
thee
:
but
onely
speake
the
worde
,
and
my
seruaunt
shall
bee
Now
to
end
this
pointe
.
If
any
man
be
the
child
of
God
in
Christ
,
let
him
also
become
a
new
creature
,
and
liue
as
becommeth
the
sonnes
of
God
,
let
no
man
say
,
If
I
bee
the
child
of
God
,
I
need
not
care
what
to
doe
,
or
(
as
the
manner
of
many
is
)
GOD
is
mercifull
,
and
Christ
died
for
our
sinnes
,
what
need
we
feare
?
for
as
there
is
no
condemnation
to
them
that
are
in
Christ
,
so
they
which
are
in
Christ
liue
,
not
after
the
flesh
,
but
after
the
My
sonne
,
saith
God
,
for
I
euen
I
,
will
do
them
When
a
lion
roared
vpon
Sampson
,
the
spirite
of
strength
came
vpon
Sampson
,
and
he
rent
him
in
pieces
.
Out
of
the
eater
came
meate
,
and
out
of
the
strong
came
sweetnesse
▪
for
what
is
stronger
than
a
Lion
,
and
what
is
sweeter
than
Hony
.
But
we
may
say
,
What
is
stronger
than
sinne
,
and
what
is
sweeter
than
mercy
?
What
sight
more
terrible
than
the
blacke
flagge
of
defiance
,
with
My
Rebell
,
(
the
colours
of
vengeance
vpon
it
?
)
What
more
comfortable
than
to
see
that
pulled
in
,
and
the
white
flagge
of
truce
put
forth
,
with
My
sonne
,
the
words
of
mercy
and
peace
vpon
it
?
My
Rebell
is
gone
,
My
sonne
is
come
in
the
steede
.
The
Lord
take
away
the
Rebellions
of
our
heartes
,
and
graunt
vs
so
to
keepe
his
conditions
of
peace
,
that
we
may
be
his
sonnes
indeed
,
and
find
peace
to
our
consciences
for
euermore
.
Thus
we
see
,
that
as
the
Lord
did
once
bring
light
out
of
darkenesse
,
so
our
heauenly
father
hath
wrought
comfort
out
of
sinne
to
all
his
children
in
Christ
Iesus
,
blessed
My
sonne
,
as
proceeding
from
God
to
man
.
My
sonne
,
as
being
the
wordes
of
Salomon
considered
.
NOw
if
we
consider
them
as
they
be
the
wordes
of
Salomon
,
somthing
more
may
be
gathered
from
them
,
for
as
God
was
the
Authour
,
so
Salomon
was
the
publisher
,
God
is
our
father
indeede
,
Salomon
is
but
Gods
minister
,
and
speaks
like
a
father
to
all
,
that
of
all
he
might
win
some
,
Salomon
was
a
king
,
yet
he
giueth
counsell
like
a
Preacher
,
and
teacheth
men
how
to
order
their
liues
according
to
the
word
of
god
,
and
therefore
he
calleth
himselfe
a
Preacher
.
So
should
rulers
and
men
in
authoritie
giue
their
inferiours
My
sonne
,
as
if
that
were
the
onely
way
to
win
men
to
God
.
So
when
the
Apostle
would
make
My
sonne
,
saith
Salomon
:
to
teach
vs
that
wee
must
speake
with
a
louing
and
kinde
affection
,
but
not
with
a
couetous
and
vainglorious
affection
,
if
euer
wee
will
winne
men
to
God
:
My
sonne
,
saith
Salomon
,
to
teach
vs
that
whether
we
teach
doctrine
,
or
correct
maners
,
or
reprooue
sinne
,
or
denounce
iudgements
,
we
should
first
see
that
there
be
that
kinde
affection
in
vs
towardes
the
parties
with
whom
we
haue
to
deale
,
which
is
in
fathers
towards
their
children
:
and
that
fatherly
loue
will
sweeten
all
our
reprehensions
,
and
all
our
admonitions
,
&
make
them
in
time
go
down
into
the
stomack
,
if
they
were
as
bitter
as
any
pils
,
if
men
be
not
whollie
giuen
ouer
of
God
.
My
brethren
,
(
saith
S.
Paul
)
in
all
his
Epistles
:
as
if
he
made
as
much
reckoning
of
them
as
of
himselfe
,
and
to
shewe
them
that
he
wished
them
to
do
nothing
,
but
that
hee
himselfe
woulde
helpe
them
in
it
,
and
doe
it
with
them
.

to

,
draw
you
on

another
with
the

speaking
kindly

because
gentle
wordes

This
we
see
by
daily
experience
,
if

say

to
some
one
,
he
cannot
beare
it
,
doest

will
hee
say
againe

An
other
againe
will
take
some
one
worde
more
to
heart
,
than
all
the
rest
:
oh
that
same
one
word
(
will
hee
say
)
went
to
my
verie
heart
.
The
Iewes
which
hated
the
Lord
Iesus
,
woulde
not
vouchsafe
to
giue
him
his
name
,
when
they
talked
of
him
,
or
with
him
;
but
to
shew
their
vtter
dislike
of
him
,
they
vsed
to
say
,

on
the
other
side

if

must
shew
themselues
like
Fathers
,
then
by
the
same
lawe
the
people
must
shew
themselues
like
children

If
the
minister
must
for
his
parte
seeke
them
with
a
fathers
affection
;
then
they
for
their
parte
must
not
be
wanting
with
a
sonnelike
affection

His
authoritie
for
God
bindeth
them
to
reuerence
him
as
the
minister
of
God
,
&
to
obay
him
as
if
God
himselfe

imagin

you
are

a

you
are

you
are

haue
no

I
haue
more
learning
than
you

and
can
teach
you
,
what
though
you
giue
me
meate

what
though
you

yet
it

,
be
esteemed
of
amongst
the
sonnes
of
God
?
If
Preachers
were
lawyers
,
or
Phisitions
,
they
should
be
often
consulted
with
and
in
better
sort
than
they
be
,
or
if
Preachers
were
players
,
and
their
blacke
gownes
turned
into
blew
coates
with
a
badge
on
the
sleeue
,
doubtles
the
chiefest
of
the
towne
would
heare
them
,
and
they
should
lacke
no
audience
,
if
we
be
sicke
in
body
,
send
for
this
doctour
,
and
that
doctoure
:
both
shall
be
heard
without
controllment
,
yea
,
and
shall
they
not
vse
vs
at
their
pleasure
?
If
we
haue
a
sute
at
law
,
we
retaine
this
counseller
,
&
that
counseller
,
we
suspect
our
owne
skill
,
and
they
shall
order
the
matter
as
they
list
,
but
many
mens
soules
are
sicke
to
death
,
being
ready
to
yeeld
vp
the
Ghost
,
and
to
go
to
hell
,
but
the
phisitions
of
the
soule
,
are
seldome
or
neuer
sent
for
,
and
euery
one
is
able
(
for
the
most
part
)
to
appoint
the
preacher
his
text
,
how
he
shall
handle
it
for
matter
and
maner
,
this
was
no
fit
text
(
saith
one
)
this
was
ill
handled
and
worse
applied
(
saith
another
)
why
doth
he
not
preach
vpon
the
Epistle
and
the
Gospell
(
saith
another
)
one
saith
,
there
he
went
besides
his
text
,
another
saith
,
he
stood
too
long
,
or
hee
spake
plainely
,
another
saith
,
he
hath
a
bad
vtterance
,
and
spits
much
,
another
saith
,
this
is
too
high
for
me
,
I
cannot
vnderstand
him
,
another
saith
,
this
is
common
stuffe
,
I
knew
this
before
,
some
say
,
what
hath
he
to
doe
with
Maiestrates
,
must
he
be
medling
with
the
Maiestrates
office
,
some
say
,
what
neede
he
speake
against
images
,
what
hurt
do
they
,
some
say
,
he
neuer
speaks
any
Latin
,
I
warrant
you
he
is
no
scholler
,
and
another
is
much
troubled
in
his
conscience
,
because
the
preacher
hath
gathered
notes
out
of
other
mens
workes
,
but
if
he
hath
any
notes
before
him
in
his
bookes
,
to
helpe
his
memorie
,
Oh
,
that
is
a
haynous
matter
,
and
then
he
is
fallen
into
a
deepe
pit
indeede
,
let
him
get
out
as
well
as
he
can
,
for
poore
Ioseph
was
neuer
in
such
a
pit
as
this
is
.
Euery
one
is
cunning
in
the
preachers
office
,
if
he
be
neuer
so
ignorant
,
and
commonly
the
more
ignorant
,
the
more
presumptuous
.
The
Lord
open
our
eyes
,
and
touch
our
heartes
,
that
we
may
repent
,
before
his
wrath
flame
out
vpon
vs
,
for
the
greate
contempt
of
this
his
holy
and
heauenly
ordenaunce
.
There
is
no
question
but
that
many
things
might
be
better
handled
than
oftentimes
they
are
.
But
for
the
sinnes
of
the
people
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
many
times
(
if
not
generally
)
the
Lord
doth
strengthen
the
meditations
of
the
minister
,
he
dulleth
his
wits
,
and
maketh
his
tounge
to
cleaue
fast
to
the
roofe
of
his
mouth
,
giuing
no
edge
to
his
doctrine
,
no
comfort
to
his
studies
,
nor
any
blessing
to
his
labours
.
But
the
cause
hereof
may
be
,
and
no
doubt
is
partly
in
the
speaker
,
and
partly
in
the
hearer
,
and
want
of
prayer
in
both
is
the
cause
thereof
,
this
knew
the
Apostle
well
inongh
,
and
therefore
he
doth
earnestly
exhort
the
Ephesians
in
al
their
praiers
If
we
can
not
be
so
cleane
as
we
should
,
(
as
Who
can
say
his
heart
is
And
thus
haue
we
heard
,
how
to
teach
and
how
to
learne
.
And
thus
much
of
these
wordes
,
My
sonne
,
both
as
they
be
the
words
of
God
,
and
the
words
of
Salomon
