Goe
to
the
Pismire
or
Emot
,
O
sluggard
,
behold
her
waies
,
and
be
wise
:
7
For
she
hauing
no
guide
,
gouernor
,
nor
ruler
,
8
Prepareth
her
meate
in
the
Summer
,
and
gathereth
her
foode
in
haruest
.
9
How
long
wilt
thou
sleepe
O
sluggard
?
when
wilt
thou
arise
out
of
thy
sleepe
?
10
Yet
a
little
sleepe
,
a
little
slumber
,
a
little
folding
of
the
hands
to
sleepe
.
11
Therefore
thy
pouertie
commeth
as
one
that
trauaileth
by
the
way
,
and
thy
necessitie
like
an
armed
man
.
IN
the
fiue
former
verses
,
the
holie
Ghost
hath
condemned
hastines
,
and
vnaduised
rashnes
,
as
the
very
bane
of
sur●●iship
,
and
the
vndoing
of
many
men
.
In
these
verses
he
proceedeth
against
idlenes
,
and
negligent
slouthfulnes
,
or
slouthfull
negligence
,
another
extreame
,
contrarie
to
the
former
,
and
no
whit
inferiour
in
daunger
vnto
the
former
.
And
betweene
both
he
requireth
in
all
the
children
of
God
,
an
aduised
diligence
in
all
the
waies
of
their
calling
,
to
shew
that
the
way
of
a
Christian
is
to
make
an
euen
course
betweene
so
many
rocks
and
dangers
,
as
he
is
on
both
sides
beset
withall
,
and
alwaies
to
saile
by
the
carde
and
compasse
of
Gods
word
,
the
spirit
of
God
sitting
as
Pilote
at
the
helme
to
direct
the
course
by
the
same
;
lest
otherwise
,
either
vpon
the
rocks
of
rashnes
&
vaine
glorie
,
or
vpon
the
sands
of
slouthfulnes
and
negligence
,
he
suffer
shipwracke
of
bodie
and
soule
before
he
neede
,
or
before
he
would
.
The
matter
of
these
verses
is
in
generall
a
disswasion
from
idlenes
and
negligence
:
Idlenes
for
want
of
a
calling
,
and
negligence
in
a
mans
calling
are
the
principall
things
which
the
spirite
of
God
here
dealeth
against
,
perswading
also
to
faithfull
diligence
,
by
the
example
of
a
sillie
creature
the
Pismire
.
But
more
particularly
these
poynts
are
in
these
verses
to
be
considered
of
:
first
,
the
Sluggards
Schoolemaster
,
and
his
lesson
that
he
must
learne
,
in
the
6.
7.
8
verses
:
them
the
Sluggards
examination
in
the
9.
verse
:
then
his
answere
in
the
10.
verse
:
and
lastly
his
iudgement
in
the
11.
verse
.
And
this
text
may
be
called
the
rowsing
of
the
Sluggard
,
because
it
hath
to
deale
with
one
that
is
fast
asleepe
,
and
therefore
commeth
to
awaken
him
by
all
the
meanes
he
can
deuise
,
as
it
were
by
calling
,
pulling
,
and
hallowing
,
and
pinching
,
&
terrifying
,
as
if
he
would
not
leaue
him
till
he
had
awakened
him
,
if
he
will
be
awakened
:
for
first
,
he
perswadeth
him
by
the
example
of
a
Pismire
,
to
shame
him
withall
:
then
he
debateth
the
matter
with
him
to
know
how
long
he
will
sleepe
,
to
see
if
that
will
awake
him
:
and
then
he
sheweth
him
his
nature
and
propertie
,
to
see
if
that
will
awaken
him
:
and
then
seeing
he
will
not
awake
,
hee
sheweth
him
the
danger
of
it
,
and
so
he
leaueth
him
:
And
the
same
course
will
I
take
.
But
for
as
much
as
euery
man
consisteth
of
two
parts
,
viz.
bodie
and
soule
,
both
which
are
in
time
to
be
prouided
for
,
and
Salomons
care
was
aswell
for
the
one
,
as
for
the
other
:
therefore
we
will
set
downe
two
sorts
of
Sluggards
to
deale
withall
.
The
Sluggard
temporall
,
and
the
Sluggard
spiritual
:
for
some
are
Sluggards
for
the
bodie
,
and
some
are
Sluggards
for
the
soule
.
Of
Sluggards
temporall
which
neglect
the
things
of
this
life
,
wee
may
also
set
downe
two
sorts
,
either
such
as
liue
without
any
calling
,
or
such
as
liue
negligently
in
their
calling
.
Of
Sluggards
spirituall
likewise
,
I
summon
two
sorts
to
appeare
before
the
Pismire
:
first
,
those
that
haue
no
care
at
al
to
vse
the
meanes
of
their
soules
health
,
but
liue
as
though
they
had
no
soules
to
saue
:
then
those
that
vse
the
meanes
of
their
saluation
but
coldly
,
and
negligently
,
driuing
off
all
to
the
last
cast
,
thinke
that
it
is
not
yet
time
to
make
their
prouision
.
And
first
of
the
Sluggard
temporall
.
Goe
to
the
Pismire
,
&c.
The
Sluggard
is
here
set
to
schoole
with
a
very
simple
schoolemaster
,
and
yet
able
to
teach
the
Sluggard
wisedome
,
if
he
will
take
the
paines
to
behold
her
waies
,
that
is
,
to
consider
well
of
the
order
and
manner
of
her
liuing
,
and
to
applie
the
same
vnto
himselfe
.
Whereby
wee
may
learne
first
that
idle
bodies
and
slow
bellies
which
liue
without
a
calling
,
or
negligently
in
their
calling
,
are
not
so
wise
,
and
therefore
neither
so
profitable
,
as
the
sillie
Pismire
is
.
For
she
is
wise
to
helpe
her selfe
,
by
making
readie
her
prouision
in
time
:
the
Sluggard
hath
no
wisedome
,
nor
care
to
helpe
himselfe
,
nor
to
saue
any
thing
that
he
hath
.
Now
he
that
hath
no
care
to
helpe
himselfe
,
for
whom
will
he
care
?
He
that
is
vnprofitable
to
himselfe
,
to
whom
will
he
be
profitable
?
He
that
will
not
till
his
owne
ground
,
whose
ground
will
he
till
?
He
that
will
not
labour
for
himselfe
,
for
whom
wil
he
labour
?
for
euery
man
naturally
is
giuen
to
helpe
himselfe
,
and
to
prouide
for
himselfe
:
therefore
it
seemeth
that
Sluggards
and
idle
packes
are
vnnaturall
,
and
monsters
in
nature
.
And
therefore
ought
to
haue
no
place
in
nature
,
that
is
amongst
men
or
beasts
,
because
they
are
not
so
profitable
as
either
man
,
or
beast
,
be
the
one
neuer
so
simple
,
and
the
other
neuer
so
filthie
.
For
the
beast
is
still
in
his
kind
euen
to
the
very
Pismire
or
Emmot
,
but
the
Sluggard
is
out
of
kind
.
And
therefore
the
Apostle
warneth
the
Thessalonians
,
liue
in
pleasure
,
that
is
,
they
loue
not
to
take
any
paine
for
their
liuing
,
now
heare
the
Apostles
iudgement
of
them
,
They
that
liue
in
pleasure
(
sayth
he
)
are
dead
,
while
they
liue
:
that
is
,
they
are
vnprofitable
to
men
,
and
as
good
dead
as
aliue
,
and
better
too
:
for
while
they
liued
many
were
the
worse
,
no
man
the
better
for
them
:
but
when
they
bee
dead
,
they
hurt
no
bodie
:
besides
that
,
the
wormes
,
or
something
els
,
doe
then
feed
their
fill
vpon
their
carkasse
,
which
in
their
life
time
fed
vpon
all
other
,
but
fed
none
themselues
.
The
naturall
man
hath
abho●ed
idlenes
for
want
of
a
calling
,
although
he
had
no
light
but
the
light
of
nature
:
therfore
when
Iosephs
brethren
came
before
Pharao
,
he
asked
them
of
what
trade
they
were
:
As
the
naturall
man
condemned
it
,
so
doth
the
Pismire
here
in
our
text
rise
vp
in
iudgement
against
the
Sluggard
whatsoeuer
he
bee
,
but
especially
against
him
that
for
want
of
a
trade
,
or
some
calling
,
is
become
a
sluggard
,
&
leadeth
an
idle
life
:
For
she
hauing
no
guide
,
gouernour
,
nor
ruler
,
doth
gather
her
meate
in
summer
,
&c.
What
would
she
do
if
she
had
a
guide
and
gouernour
?
&c.
And
what
a
shame
is
this
to
the
slouthful
person
(
if
he
be
not
past
shame
)
that
hath
both
guides
,
and
gouernours
,
and
rulers
,
both
to
teach
him
,
and
keep
him
in
order
,
besides
the
benefite
of
reason
and
vnderstanding
:
and
yet
for
all
these
meanes
and
helpes
,
which
the
Pismire
wanteth
,
is
carelesse
of
his
owne
good
?
But
hath
the
Pismire
or
Ant
no
guide
,
nor
gouernour
,
will
some
say
?
how
is
it
then
that
she
doth
alwaies
keepe
that
wonderfull
order
,
and
take
that
meruailous
trauaile
for
her
liuing
,
without
breaking
or
altering
thereof
?
To
this
we
may
answere
,
that
her
order
is
the
order
of
nature
giuen
and
imprinted
in
nature
by
God
at
the
beginning
,
her
guide
is
God
himself
,
and
her
gouernour
is
the
euer-watching
,
and
euerlasting
prouidence
of
the
Almighty
,
which
extendeth
it selfe
to
man
and
beast
,
to
all
things
in
heauen
,
in
earth
,
in
the
sea
,
in
hell
,
and
in
all
places
,
and
at
all
times
,
yea
to
the
Pismire
,
the
flye
,
the
haires
of
a
mans
head
,
the
haires
of
euery
mans
head
in
the
worlde
,
and
finally
taketh
accompt
of
euery
haire
vpon
euery
mans
head
.
goe
to
the
Pismire
,
O
sluggard
,
behold
her
waies
,
and
be
wise
:
for
she
hauing
no
guide
,
&c.
There
be
some
,
companions
to
Atheists
,
which
partly
through
ignorance
,
and
partly
through
pride
of
heart
,
(
for
commonly
they
goe
together
)
that
haue
not
stuck
to
finde
fault
with
the
creating
of
the
Pismire
,
the
flye
,
the
worme
,
&
an
infinite
number
of
creatures
moe
,
and
as
it
were
to
quarrell
with
God
for
making
of
them
,
because
(
as
they
say
)
they
cannot
see
to
what
purpose
they
serue
,
or
what
good
they
doe
in
the
world
.
Now
for
an
answere
to
these
wittie
fellowes
that
will
set
God
to
schoole
,
wee
may
tell
them
,
that
if
these
sillie
creatures
(
whereat
they
are
so
offended
)
did
no
more
good
,
nor
were
no
more
profitable
in
their
kinde
,
then
idle
braines
and
the
sluggish
persons
be
,
and
such
as
themselues
bee
,
which
doe
nothing
but
finde
fault
with
God
,
and
his
workes
in
nature
,
like
dogs
which
bark
at
the
Moone
;
it
were
no
great
matter
if
the
world
were
rid
of
them
,
sauing
that
God
must
be
glorified
in
his
iudgements
vpon
them
,
if
they
repent
not
,
or
in
his
mercie
,
if
it
please
him
to
worke
their
conuersion
.
But
in
the
meane
time
,
I
demaund
of
these
cauillers
,
and
quarrellers
with
God
,
what
hurt
doth
the
flye
,
&
c
?
It
is
said
of
Apelles
the
cunning
painter
,
that
he
did
by
arte
make
the
picture
of
a
flye
,
sitting
vpon
a
mans
face
,
in
such
artificiall
and
liuely
manner
,
that
diuers
comming
to
looke
vpon
the
picture
of
the
man
,
tooke
the
sayd
painted
flye
for
a
liuing
flye
indeede
,
in
so
much
that
one
with
his
handkerchefe
stroke
at
it
,
and
thought
to
haue
driuen
it
away
but
could
not
,
which
being
perceiued
,
they
did
greatly
wonder
at
the
excellent
cunning
of
the
painter
.
But
what
is
Appelles
to
the
Almightie
?
or
who
gaue
him
that
cunning
which
hee
had
?
did
not
God
?
Now
,
shall
a
pain●ed
flye
,
which
is
no
flye
,
serue
to
set
forth
the
cunning
and
skill
of
a
man
,
and
shall
not
men
much
more
take
occasion
by
seeing
a
liuing
flye
,
to
praise
the
Lord
,
and
to
wonder
at
his
most
excellent
and
vnspeakable
wisdome
,
and
skill
,
and
power
,
and
glorie
,
which
into
a
thing
of
so
small
compasse
,
and
quantitie
,
hath
put
such
varietie
of
ioynts
and
members
in
such
order
,
and
comelines
,
with
such
●ute
of
diuers
colours
,
such
liuelines
,
nimblenes
,
and
swiftnes
,
as
a
thousand
worlds
are
not
able
to
match
or
make
the
like
vnto
any
part
thereof
?
If
any
man
would
know
to
what
vse
frogs
,
grashoppers
,
caterpillers
,
and
lice
,
&c.
serue
,
let
him
aske
Pharao
,
and
his
subiects
of
Egypt
,
&
they
will
tell
him
,
that
as
there
be
many
vses
of
them
,
so
one
especiall
vse
is
to
punish
wicked
men
by
them
,
and
when
the
Lord
will
,
they
shall
be
his
hoste
to
subdue
euen
the
pride
of
the
proudest
,
&
to
make
the
stoutest
to
stoope
.
But
the
Pismire
,
the
Pismire
,
wherfore
is
she
good
,
or
what
profite
commeth
by
her
,
wil
the
sluggish
Atheist
say
,
that
had
neuer
any
leisure
yet
to
peruse
the
Prouerbes
of
Salomon
?
Oh
sayth
the
sluggard
,
we
reade
that
she
gathereth
her
meate
in
summer
and
haruest
,
&c.
But
what
good
doth
she
els
?
doth
she
nothing
but
gather
meate
and
deuoure
it
?
Verely
no.
That
s
enough
for
thee
O
sluggard
,
to
deuoure
,
and
helpe
none
:
for
so
thou
doest
indeed
.
Or
els
there
is
no
creature
but
is
profitable
in
some
measure
:
The
sea
swalloweth
vp
whatsoe●●●
is
cast
into
it
,
but
yet
it
is
profitable
both
in
nourishing
of
fishes
,
and
carrying
the
ships
for
the
good
of
man
.
The
fire
consumeth
al
that
is
cast
into
it
,
but
yet
it
maketh
a
recompence
with
his
heate
,
which
is
so
necessarie
that
no
man
can
be
without
it
.
Now
,
if
idlenes
and
slouthfulnes
were
but
halfe
so
profitable
as
the
sea
,
which
yet
drowneth
infinite
numbers
:
or
as
the
fire
,
which
spareth
neither
house
nor
citie
:
or
as
the
graue
,
wherein
is
nothing
but
stinke
and
rottennes
:
yea
if
they
were
not
1000.
times
more
hurtful
,
then
any
of
these
,
they
might
bee
more
borne
withall
,
then
now
they
can
be
,
or
ought
to
be
.
But
yet
the
Sluggard
is
not
answered
,
hee
must
needes
knowe
wherefore
the
Pismire
serueth
,
and
what
she
should
do
in
the
world
:
And
the
Pismire
on
the
other
side
meruaileth
what
the
idle
Sluggard
doth
in
the
world
.
It
is
no
meruaile
though
the
Sluggard
cannot
away
with
the
Pismire
of
all
other
things
:
for
many
idle
schollers
cannot
away
with
the
schoole
,
nor
their
schoolemaster
;
no
more
can
the
Sluggard
well
digest
the
sight
of
the
Pismire
,
because
he
is
put
to
schoole
with
her
to
learne
wisedome
.
For
he
counteth
it
as
a
kinde
of
disgrace
to
his
person
,
to
be
set
to
schoole
at
an
Ant-heape
,
or
at
any
body
els
:
but
so
it
pleaseth
the
Lord
wee
see
to
pull
downe
the
pride
of
men
,
and
by
the
vile
and
base
things
of
this
world
(
as
S.
Paul
sayth
)
to
confound
the
mightie
.
Behold
her
waies
,
and
be
wise
.
Here
wee
are
further
taught
,
that
wee
ought
to
beholde
the
creatures
,
with
due
consideration
of
their
natures
,
and
the
wonderfull
workes
of
God
in
them
,
and
that
we
ought
so
to
behold
them
,
as
to
bee
the
better
for
beholding
them
,
and
not
to
bee
(
as
most
are
)
idle
gazers
vpon
them
,
or
vaine
and
curious
disputers
of
them
to
no
purpose
,
but
for
ostentation
of
learning
or
wit
,
&c.
It
is
good
to
be
a
naturall
Philosopher
,
but
it
is
better
to
bee
a
christian
Philosopher
withall
:
that
is
,
when
by
beholding
and
learning
the
natures
of
the
creatures
,
we
are
drawne
neerer
to
the
Creator
,
and
taught
to
know
our selues
,
and
our
duetie
to
God
better
then
we
did
.
For
this
is
true
wisedome
,
and
true
wisedome
is
true
Philosophie
.
Therefore
the
Sluggard
being
sent
to
the
Pismire
to
behold
her
waies
,
&
so
to
get
wisedome
,
what
els
is
he
taught
,
but
to
become
a
right
Philosopher
?
So
that
a
man
may
learne
Philosophie
in
the
fieldes
,
by
an
Ant-heape
,
if
he
hath
the
spirit
of
God
;
yea
as
good
as
any
Aristotle
can
teach
him
in
the
schooles
,
and
better
too
:
for
he
goeth
no
further
then
the
causes
of
things
,
and
teacheth
men
to
rest
there
,
saying
:
Foelix
qui
potuit
rerum
cognoscere
causas
:
that
is
,
Happines
standeth
in
the
knowledge
of
naturall
things
,
and
the
naturall
causes
of
naturall
things
.
But
Christians
haue
learned
out
of
the
booke
of
God
,
to
goe
one
step
beyond
Aristotle
,
and
all
that
are
but
meere
naturals
,
and
that
is
not
onely
to
search
out
the
causes
and
qualities
of
the
creatures
,
(
wherein
indeede
Salomon
did
excell
,
for
he
disputed
of
all
things
from
the
Hyssoppe
that
springs
out
of
the
wall
to
the
Cedar
in
Lebanus
)
but
then
further
to
make
vse
of
the
same
,
Dauid
:
When
I
behold
thy
heauens
(
sayth
he
)
euen
the
workes
of
thy
fingers
,
the
Moone
,
and
the
Starres
which
thou
hast
ordained
,
what
is
man
,
say
I
,
that
thou
art
mindfull
of
him
,
or
the
sonne
of
man
,
that
thou
visitest
him
?
There
is
no
creature
of
God
in
the
world
,
but
that
man
may
learne
somewhat
out
of
the
same
,
and
profite
by
it
,
to
the
amendment
of
his
life
.
The
reason
is
,
because
all
the
creatures
of
God
doe
serue
their
Creator
in
that
course
and
kind
wherein
they
were
first
created
,
only
men
are
the
sinners
in
this
world
,
and
haue
forsaken
their
first
estate
,
and
are
become
vnkind
against
their
Creator
.
If
we
speake
of
dutifulnes
to
our
superiours
,
wee
may
learne
it
of
the
oxe
,
and
the
asse
:
for
,
The
oxe
knoweth
his
owner
,
(
sayth
Esay
)
and
the
asse
his
masters
cribbe
,
but
Israel
hath
not
knowne
,
my
people
hath
not
vnderstand
.
If
we
speake
of
louingnes
&
kindnes
betweene
man
and
wife
,
euery
man
may
learne
it
of
the
Hind
and
the
Roe
:
for
Salomon
willeth
the
husband
and
the
wife
,
to
loue
together
as
the
louing
hind
and
pleasant
roe
:
The
conies
are
not
mightie
,
yet
they
build
in
rockes
.
The
grashoppers
haue
no
King
,
yet
g●e
forth
all
by
bands
:
The
spider
takes
hold
with
her
hands
,
and
is
in
Kings
palaces
.
Againe
,
the
Prophet
Ieremie
sayth
,
storke
,
the
turtle
,
the
crane
,
and
the
swallowe
are
skilfull
in
the●
appointed
times
:
but
man
knoweth
not
the
indgements
of
the
Lord
.
The
dogge
is
in
his
kinde
more
thankfull
then
man
is
.
The
sea
keepeth
his
tides
of
ebbing
and
flowing
,
iust
at
the
day
and
houre
appoynted
,
that
a
man
may
be
bold
to
build
vpon
his
comming
:
to
shame
those
that
promise
much
,
but
performe
nothing
,
and
to
shewe
that
vnconstant
men
of
their
word
may
be
taught
by
the
sea
.
As
they
goe
beyond
vs
in
glorifying
their
Creator
,
so
doe
they
also
farre
excell
vs
in
many
naturall
gifts
,
or
qualities
of
the
bodie
,
which
make
men
forget
themselues
:
The
Horse
in
strength
:
The
Roe
in
swiftnes
:
The
Lion
in
courage
:
The
Eagle
in
sight
:
The
Dogge
in
winding
.
These
and
●●ny
moe
besides
these
,
doe
excell
man
in
the
naturall
faculties
and
qualities
of
the
bodie
.
And
therefore
to
conclude
this
poynt
,
what
cause
is
there
that
we
should
bee
so
proude
of
our selues
,
or
any
thing
that
wee
haue
,
or
can
doe
,
seeing
as
all
the
creatures
in
their
kinde
doe
excell
vs
?
glorifying
their
Creator
better
then
wee
doe
,
yea
and
are
appoynted
as
tutors
and
schoolemasters
to
teach
vs
our
dueties
?
Lastly
,
we
may
learne
from
hence
,
not
to
contemne
,
and
disdaine
,
but
with
great
reuerence
,
and
in
the
feare
of
God
to
vse
all
the
creatures
of
God
:
both
for
that
they
serue
so
notably
to
set
forth
the
glorie
of
the
Creator
,
and
also
for
that
they
are
appointed
to
teach
men
their
duties
.
Of
Lecturers
,
some
reade
of
one
thing
,
and
some
of
another
,
and
are
reuerenced
for
their
labour
〈◊〉
are
maintained
in
Cities
,
and
V●iuersities
:
some
by
the
Citie
,
some
by
the
Vniuersitie
,
some
by
Noblemen
,
&
some
by
the
Prince
,
and
therfore
are
called
their
Lecturers
,
&
are
greatly
reuerenced
&
regarded
.
The
Pismire
here
is
the
Sluggards
reader
,
but
maintained
at
the
Lords
cost
and
charges
:
therfore
〈◊〉
may
not
be
despised
,
but
the
work
of
the
Lord
in
her
is
to
bee
had
in
great
reuerence
.
For
the
works
of
the
Lord
are
great
,
and
ought
to
bee
sought
out
of
all
them
that
loue
them
.
Yea
,
His
worke
is
beautiful
and
glorious
,
&
therfore
greatly
to
be
regarded
.
It
is
counted
no
small
matter
to
bee
the
Philosphie
Lecturer
,
or
the
Greeke
Lecturer
,
or
the
Phisicke
Lecturer
,
or
a
Reader
in
the
Law
:
but
to
reade
a
Lecture
of
wisedome
,
as
the
Ant
doth
,
is
more
▪
because
wisedome
is
aboue
them
all
.
That
was
the
cause
why
the
Queene
of
the
South
counted
the
seruants
of
Salomon
blessed
,
We
doe
r●●tly
reprehend
the
Papi●ts
for
that
Monkish
life
that
is
amongst
them
,
to
liue
like
Eremites
,
Next
vnto
them
must
Churchmen
haue
a
place
on
the
low
fourme
,
which
fish
till
they
haue
caught
that
fish
that
they
looked
for
,
〈◊〉
then
hang
vp
the
net
.
And
no
merua●●●
,
〈◊〉
their
net
they
say
hit
vpon
a
company
of
od●e
steeples
which
lay
in
the
bottome
of
the
ri●er
,
behold
her
waies
,
and
to
learne
to
be
wise
.
The
vnlearned
Minister
likewise
which
hath
made
the
Ministerie
his
last
refuge
,
What
trade
,
or
calling
haue
they
?
What
●ust
their
answere
be
?
Forsooth
,
I
was
sometime
a
Taylor
,
or
a
Cobler
,
or
a
Weauer
,
or
a
Glouer
,
or
an
Ostler
,
or
a
Huntsman
,
or
a
Seruingman
,
or
a
Player
,
but
now
I
am
a
Minister
,
or
a
Curat
,
or
for
fault
of
a
better
,
the
booke-reader
of
our
parish
,
for
preacher
he
is
none
,
that
is
too
painfull
:
Therefore
goe
to
the
Pismire
O
sluggard
,
behold
her
waies
,
and
be
wise
.
That
is
,
giue
ouer
the
Ministerie
for
which
thou
art
so
v●fit
,
and
betake
thee
to
thy
old
occupation
againe
,
and
learne
of
thy
tutor
the
●ismire
,
to
take
more
paines
therein
.
Next
,
the
negligent
Minister
must
goe
along
to
the
Pismires
Lecture
.
Their
watchmen
are
all
blind
:
they
haue
no
knowledge
:
they
are
aldu●●●
dogges
:
they
cannot
barke
:
they
lie
and
sleepe
▪
and
delight
in
sleeping
.
And
the
Prophet
〈◊〉
sayth
,
Cursed
is
be
that
doth
the
work
of
the
Lord
negligently
.
Therefore
if
these
sluggards
will
auoyde
the
curse
of
God
,
they
must
of
necessitie
goe
to
the
Pismire
,
and
learne
of
her
to
be
more
painfull
and
diligent
in
the
worke
of
the
Lord
,
there
is
no
remedie
.
The
Magistrate
also
aswell
as
the
Minister
must
goe
to
the
Pismire
,
if
he
be
slouthfull
and
negligent
in
his
office
.
●e
fed
the
people
of
the
Lord
according
to
the
simpliciti●
of
his
heart
,
And
guided
them
by
the
discretion
of
his
hands
.
The
reason
was
,
because
the
Lord
did
choose
him
,
and
take
him
from
the
sheepfolds
,
for
to
feed
his
people
in
Iacob
,
and
his
inheritance
in
Israel
:
By
which
Magistrates
may
see
what
they
should
doe
.
But
if
they
be
hot
in
their
owne
matters
,
There
be
many
Gentlemen
also
that
must
be
schollers
to
this
schoolmaster
:
Giue
account
of
thy
stewardship
▪
how
hast
thou
spent
that
which
I
lent
thee
?
What
will
they
answer
?
I
haue
spent
it
in
play
,
shall
they
say
▪
And
will
this
go
for
pa●ment
?
God
placed
Adam
in
the
garden
of
Eden
,
not
to
liue
idly
,
but
to
dresse
it
,
and
till
it
,
&c.
Adam
was
as
well
to
liue
as
any
gentleman
(
for
th●
al
was
his
)
&
yet
he
was
not
permitted
to
liue
idlie
.
Let
no
gentleman
say
,
he
hath
no
calling
:
for
al
haue
a
calling
.
If
he
hath
no
calling
,
he
may
busie
himselfe
in
teaching
his
seruants
&
children
to
know
God
,
as
Ioshua
did
:
or
in
visiting
and
relieuing
the
poore
,
And
this
is
also
for
them
that
spend
their
daies
and
reuenewes
in
voluptuousnes
&
carnal
delights
,
as
at
cards
&
dice
,
hunting
&
hawking
,
and
bowling
,
and
dauncing
,
and
chambering
,
and
wantonnes
,
&c.
smoking
it
out
in
the
excessiue
pride
of
apparell
,
and
spending
of
other
mens
labours
:
Surely
they
must
needes
to
schoole
.
Therefore
goe
thou
noble
sluggard
,
or
thou
gentle
sluggard
,
Goe
to
the
Pismire
,
beholde
her
waies
,
and
be
wise
.
A
number
of
Citizens
likewise
must
be
sent
after
the
rest
of
their
fellowes
,
for
that
they
haue
taken
pains
heretofore
,
but
now
sit
downe
,
and
studie
how
to
liue
idlie
with
their
families
:
some
by
vsurie
,
and
some
by
brokerage
,
the
one
is
the
diuell
himselfe
,
the
other
the
diuels
huntsman
:
some
by
promoting
,
&
some
by
extortion
,
and
all
because
of
a
more
easie
life
,
that
it
may
bee
sayd
of
them
as
it
is
sayd
of
Issachar
,
who
seeing
that
ease
was
good
,
&
the
land
pleasant
,
a
strong
●sse
couching
downe
betweene
diuers
burdens
:
that
is
,
he
gaue
himselfe
to
ease
,
and
let
all
alone
.
So
these
men
perceiuing
that
ease
is
good
,
&
the
gaine
of
vsurie
,
and
iniquitie
to
bee
pleasant
,
they
are
become
very
beasts
,
and
are
content
to
lye
downe
vnder
diuers
burdens
:
that
is
,
to
let
all
their
dueties
be
vnperformed
,
which
they
owe
to
God
and
the
Common-wealth
.
Now
,
for
that
idlenes
and
lazines
hath
drawne
them
to
liue
a
monkish
life
,
this
Pismire
shall
stand
vp
to
giue
iudgement
against
them
,
if
they
doe
not
the
sooner
goe
to
her
Lecture
,
and
learne
to
be
wiser
.
Besides
all
these
,
the
Pismire
hath
a
great
number
of
schollers
moe
,
which
if
they
should
come
altogether
the
schoole
would
not
h●ld
them
,
&
they
are
scattered
abroad
in
euery
countries
,
some
in
euery
shire
,
some
in
euery
towne
,
and
in
euery
village
,
in
euery
faire
and
market
some
,
and
in
euery
alehouse
some
,
and
vpon
euery
hie
way
some
:
and
therefore
the
Pismire
hath
set
vp
her
schoole
in
euery
field
,
and
in
euery
wood
,
in
euery
pasture
,
in
euery
lane
,
and
in
euery
hie
way
almost
through
the
world
,
that
they
might
not
miscarrie
for
want
of
teaching
.
And
these
bee
idle
Players
,
and
Fidlers
,
and
Rimers
,
and
Iesters
,
and
Couseners
,
and
Alehouse-hunters
,
and
whorehunters
,
and
tiplers
,
and
tospots
,
and
Bearewards
,
and
walking
mates
,
with
a
number
of
counterfeit
Souldiers
,
and
Pedlers
,
and
talebearers
,
with
a
companie
of
pratling
gossips
,
&
a
crue
of
good
fellowes
,
besides
legions
of
idle
Seruingmen
,
and
retainers
,
that
be
crept
into
Bishops
houses
,
Noblemens
houses
,
Knights
houses
,
and
Gentlemen●
houses
,
which
for
any
great
busines
that
many
of
them
haue
to
doe
,
might
very
well
intend
it
to
goe
to
the
Sluggards
schoole
.
Now
to
euery
one
of
these
is
this
spoken
:
Go
to
the
Pismire
O
sluggard
,
&c.
that
is
,
vp
,
and
away
to
schoole
.
Me
thinkes
▪
I
heare
them
all
called
at
schoole
by
their
names
,
and
some
bodie
answering
for
them
to
excuse
their
absence
:
Some
(
sayth
he
)
I
saw
on
the
stage
at
midnight
,
teaching
youth
and
seruants
,
and
all
that
came
how
to
play
the
Cousener
,
the
Lecherer
,
the
Bawde
,
the
Th●e●e
,
the
Traitor
,
and
how
to
scorne
and
deride
the
preacher
,
and
religion
,
and
how
to
practise
all
kinde
of
impietie
and
wickedne●●e
,
and
all
to
maintaine
a
poore
liuing
.
Some
are
at
the
Alehouses
set
at
tables
,
that
they
cannot
come
yet
:
and
besides
that
,
they
are
so
filled
with
drinke
,
and
so
emptied
of
wit
and
reason
,
that
if
they
should
be
brought
to
schoole
,
(
for
come
alone
they
cannot
)
yet
they
should
not
be
able
to
learne
any
thing
,
for
they
would
fall
fast
asleep
at
the
Antheape
before
the
Pismire
,
as
they
doe
at
Church
before
the
preacher
.
Then
others
were
called
:
but
answer
was
made
againe
,
that
some
are
gone
to
the
faire
,
and
some
to
market
to
cut
purses
,
and
some
are
keeping
the
hie
way
to
take
mens
purses
from
them
,
that
they
might
not
bee
robbed
before
they
come
home
:
Some
are
at
the
Tauerne
drinking
with
their
friends
:
some
are
stept
aside
to
diuide
the
spoyle
,
and
therefore
they
cannot
come
.
Then
another
was
called
,
and
one
answered
for
him
and
sayd
,
agr●tat
,
he
is
sicke
of
the
dropsie
,
or
layd
of
the
new
disease
,
called
the
French
disease
,
and
so
is
she
too
,
his
beloued
companion
.
Then
others
were
called
,
and
answer
was
made
,
that
they
would
come
,
but
they
cannot
:
for
some
of
them
bee
in
prison
,
and
some
bee
at
the
Barre
to
answere
for
themselues
,
and
some
bee
fast
in
the
stockes
,
some
Bee
vpon
the
pillorie
,
some
be
dauncing
about
the
market
before
the
whip
;
and
therefore
cannot
come
yet
:
and
some
are
executed
at
the
gallowes
,
and
therefore
neuer
looke
▪
for
their
comming
.
So
they
were
discharged
▪
a●d
others
came
in
their
stead
.
Now
these
we
see
haue
their
excuses
when
they
are
sent
to
schoole
:
like
the
worldling●
in
the
Gospell
,
who
(
being
called
to
the
feast
of
the
Gospell
)
could
not
come
,
because
of
their
farmes
,
or
their
oxen
,
or
their
plough
,
or
their
wiues
,
or
some
what
els
,
and
therefore
were
shut
out
when
they
would
haue
come
.
And
yet
though
they
could
not
,
that
is
,
would
not
come
to
the
feast
,
the
feast
was
furnished
with
other
guests
:
so
though
this
crue
of
good
fellowes
cannot
,
that
is
,
will
not
goe
to
the
Pismire
,
yet
her
schoole
is
furnished
with
other
schollers
.
And
the
summe
of
all
her
reading
is
this
,
All
that
thy
band
shall
finde
to
doe
,
doe
it
with
al●
thy
power
:
for
there
is
neither
works
,
nor
inuention
,
nor
knowledge
,
nor
wisedome
in
the
graue
,
whither
thou
goest
.
The
Second
Sermon
.
AS
this
diligence
and
painfulnes
in
the
Pismire
doth
reprooue
those
that
liue
idlie
,
for
want
of
a
calling
,
and
negligently
in
their
calling
:
so
dooth
it
also
speciallie
and
generallie
condemne
all
of
vs
for
the
contempt
of
the
Worde
,
But
we
sell
away
the
time
,
and
trueth
and
al
,
in
stead
of
redeeming
it
.
And
is
not
this
worse
prophanenes
then
that
of
Esaw
?
for
he
sold
his
birthright
for
hunger
:
wee
sell
away
ours
for
a
winke
of
sleepe
,
or
a
game
at
bowles
,
or
cards
,
or
tables
,
or
any
thing
els
.
Nay
,
wee
are
more
▪
base-minded
then
Iudas
:
for
he
would
not
sell
Christ
vnder
30.
pence
▪
wee
are
content
to
let
him
go
for
30.
halfepence
,
or

,
or
a

,
or

.
We
are
commanded
to
preach
in
season
,
and
out
of
season
,
and
yet
some
thinke
they
are
not
bound
to
heare
so
often
,
but
thinke
that
wee
ought
to
wait
and
attend
their
leisure
:
whereas
indeed
if
we
come
at
any
time
,
they
should
leaue
all
,
and
come
and
heare
in
season
,
&
out
of
season
,
as
they
account
it
.
I
must
worke
the
works
of
him
that
sent
me
,
while
it
is
day
:
the
night
commeth
when
no
man
can
worke
.
Then
it
were
best
for
vs
to
heare
the
word
of
God
while
it
is
day
:
for
we
haue
more
neede
then
he
had
,
that
is
,
while
wee
haue
peace
,
for
the
night
commeth
,
it
is
to
be
feared
,
when
no
mq̄
can
heare
:
and
as
the
night
succeed●th
the
day
,
so
persecution
commonly
succeedeth
peace
,
to
sco●re
off
the
ruft
that
men
gather
in
time
of
peace
.
Some
vse
this
as
a
reason
to
hinder
reformation
,
and
going
forward
in
religion
:
for
say
they
,
the
time
may
come
when
we
shall
be
called
to
account
for
putting
downe
Images
,
for
desacing
idolatrie
and
superstition
,
and
for
going
to
sermons
,
&c.
The
feare
of
these
men
that
doe
thus
reason
,
is
like
the
hope
of
Esaw
,
if
it
bee
not
the
very
same
:
for
Esaw
sayd
,
The
daies
of
mourning
for
my
father
Isaac
will
co●●
shortly
,
and
then
I
will
kill
my
brother
Iacob
.
So
say
they
,
the
daies
of
mourning
for
Queene
Elizabeth
will
come
one
day
,
and
then
we
may
be
called
to
an
account
for
al
the
idolatrie
that
we
haue
defaced
,
and
for
all
the
profession
that
wee
haue
made
of
the
Gospell
.
But
as
Iacob
needed
not
feare
Esaw
,
so
long
as
his
father
Isaac
liued
:
so
(
thankes
be
to
God
)
wee
neede
not
feare
the
threatnings
of
such
ill
affected
men
,
so
long
as
our
mother
Elizabeth
raigneth
.
The
Lord
prolong
her
daies
as
the
daies
of
heauen
,
(
if
it
be
his
blessed
will
)
to
the
vtter
rooting
out
of
all
idolatri●
,
and
impietie
,
and
to
the
further
aduancement
of
his
Gospel
.
And
happie
are
we
,
that
haue
such
golden
opportunitie
.
As
Salomon
therfore
builded
the
Temple
in
his
rest
,
so
God
giue
vs
grace
to
build
his
Church
in
our
peace
.
Our
Sauiour
,
the
Lord
Iesus
,
did
not
teach
vs
to
reason
so
.
Yet
if
he
had
been
of
worldlings
mindes
,
he
would
haue
sayd
,
The
night
co●●●th
when
no
man
can
work●
:
yea
the
night
commeth
when
I
shall
answere
that
which
I
haue
done
,
therefore
it
is
best
to
let
all
a●●ne
&
saue
one
.
But
he
frameth
his
argument
cleane
contrarie
:
I
must
doe
the
workes
of
him
that
s●●t
me
,
while
it
is
day
:
for
the
night
commeth
when
no
man
can
works
.
And
if
these
daies
should
alter
,
what
then
?
Yet
then
shall
wee
hau●
comfort
in
the
obedience
of
our
faith
.
a
good
conscience
(
sayth
Salomon
)
in
the
daies
of
affliction
is
a
continuall
feast
.
Therefore
in
these
matters
,
let
vs
bee
resolute
with
H●ster
,
who
knowing
the
goodnes
of
her
cause
,
If
I
p●rish
▪
I
perish
:
so
say
we
,
If
I
lose
,
I
lose
▪
if
I
answere
,
I
answere
,
I
must
looke
to
lose
more
then
this
,
and
to
answere
for
more
then
this
,
but
I
shall
lose
nothing
by
it
in
the
end
Therefore
now
while
wee
may
,
let
vs
bee
gathering
store
of
knowledge
,
and
comfort
,
or
els
the
Pismire
shall
condemne
vs
:
For
she
〈…〉
go●ernor
,
nor
ruler
,
gathereth
her
〈◊〉
,
&c.
Wee
haue
both
guides
,
&c.
God
make
vs
wise
to
take
the
benefit
of
them
whil●
we
haue
them
.
Ios●ph
being
warned
before
hand
of
a
dearth
that
should
come
vpon
the
land
of
Egypt
,
The
word
of
God
was
his
comfort
in
his
affl●ction
,
or
els
he
had
perished
:
So
let
vs
say
,
(
for
we
may
bee
sure
of
it
)
if
the
word
of
God
bee
not
our
comfort
,
when
affliction
come
,
or
when
sicknes
,
or
death
,
or
persecution
come
,
we
●hal
perish
,
we
shall
despayre
,
and
goe
to
hell
.
And
how
shall
it
bee
our
comfort
then
,
if
we
prouide
not
store
of
it
now
while
we
may
?
Therefore
let
vs
prouide
,
and
gather
,
and
lay
vp
now
as
much
as
we
can
,
&
all
will
be
little
enough
,
if
not
too
little
:
for
as
there
is
a
time
of
〈◊〉
,
so
there
will
be
a
time
of
spending
,
and
we
cannot
gather
so
much
doe
what
wee
ca●
,
as
we
shall
spend
.
But
seeing
as
wee
are
now
come
to
〈◊〉
with
the
spiritual
Sluggard
,
who
hath
as
much
neede
to
bee
to
wsed
as
any
other
,
that
he
may
be
awakened
indeed
,
we
will
take
this
cours●
:
first
,
I
wil
shew
what
must
be
gathered
for
the
soule
:
secondly
,
when
it
is
to
be
gathered
.
But
what
is
it
that
wee
must
gather
in
summer
,
Wherefore
doe
y●
lay
out
〈◊〉
and
not
for
bread
?
and
your
labour
without
be●●g
satisfied
?
he
arken
diligently
vnto
me
,
and
〈…〉
which
is
good
,
and
let
your
soul●
delight
〈…〉
.
Encline
your
●ares
,
and
come
vnto
me
:
〈…〉
your
soules
shall
line
.
To
shewe
that
a
man
may
labour
and
be
neuer
the
more
satisfied
,
he
may
eate
and
his
soule
bee
neuer
the
fatter
,
but
lye
pining
and
languishing
for
all
that
in
the
shadowe
of
death
.
S.
Paul
sheweth
Titus
in
what
things
the
Minister
must
chiefly
labour
,
We
haue
not
so
much
as
heard
whether
there
be
an
holy
Ghost
.
But
some
have
heard
something
,
and
doe
knowe
more
then
others
,
and
bee
as
it
were
awakened
,
&
a
little
enlightened
:
Like
Agrippa
that
was
almost
a
Christian
:
and
now
they
thinke
themselues
safe
enough
,
like
Micah
,
Some
are
of
minde
,
Who
is
Dauid
?
and
who
is
the
s●●ne
of
Is●ai
?
there
bee
many
seruants
now
a
daies
that
breake
away
from
their
masters
.
Shall
I
then
take
my
bread
,
and
my
water
,
and
my
flesh
that
I
ha●e
killed
for
my
sheerers
,
and
giue
it
vnto
men
,
whom
I
know
not
whence
they
be
?
So
say
many
masters
,
and
householders
,
who
is
my
seruant
,
and
what
is
my
familie
?
there
are
many
now
a
daies
leaue
their
worke
,
and
fall
too
much
to
the
scriptures
.
Shall
I
then
take
my
●nowledge
,
and
my
learning
,
and
my
notes
,
&
giue
to
them
?
Shall
I
hinder
my
worke
to
feed
their
humour
,
who●
I
know
not
whence
they
are
?
or
what
reason
there
is
for
it
?
It
should
seeme
that
if
Nabal
had
knowne
Dauid
,
hee
would
haue
giuen
him
some
part
with
him
.
S●
if
thou
knewest
who
are
thy
seruants
,
and
children
,
or
thy
neighbour
,
or
friend
;
or
Christian
acquaintance
,
it
may
bee
thou
wouldest
giue
them
part
with
thee
of
thy
gifts
,
and
suffer
them
to
worke
by
thy
pattterne
,
and
to
light
their
candles
at
thine
.
But
doest
thou
not
knowe
,
who
they
be
?
Are
they
not
thy
brethren
aswel
as
thy
seruants
?
Are
they
not
fellow
members
of
Christ
his
body
with
thee
,
aswell
as
they
are
thy
seruants
?
Haue
not
they
and
thou
all
one
father
,
all
one
master
,
and
all
one
Sauiour
in
heauen
?
Hath
not
the
Lord
Iesus
shed
as
many
drops
of
his
precious
heart
bloud
for
them
as
for
thee
?
and
d●est
thou
not
knowe
what
they
are
,
that
thou
shouldest
haue
a
care
to
prouide
meate
for
their
soules
?
If
thou
keepest
a
beast
,
thou
wilt
giue
him
that
which
is
necessarie
for
this
life
:
and
are
those
of
thy
familie
no
better
then
beasts
,
that
thou
shouldest
prouide
no
more
for
them
then
thou
doest
for
thy
beast
?
When
the
Disciples
wished
(
without
all
mercie
)
to
haue
fire
come
from
heauen
vpon
the
Samaritanes
;
seeketh
not
her
owne
things
:
that
is
,
it
is
not
all
for
it selfe
:
but
as
it
is
carefull
to
edifie
it selfe
in
the
most
holy
faith
,
by
vsing
such
meanes
as
are
appointed
by
God
to
that
purpose
:
so
hath
it
also
compassion
of
others
,
That
wee
may
bee
throughly
moued
with
that
which
hath
been
sayd
,
and
touched
with
compassion
towards
our
owne
soules
,
and
the
●oules
of
others
that
depend
vpo●
vs
:
it
shall
not
bee
amisse
to
hearken
a
little
vnto
the
piteous
moane
and
crie
of
the
godlie
,
in
behalfe
of
their
soules
.
Besides
that
,
in
regard
of
thy
brethren
thou
shouldest
labour
to
store
thy selfe
with
the
comforts
and
counsels
of
Gods
word
,
and
to
bee
strong
in
the
heauenly
graces
of
Gods
spirit
▪
for
such
a
famine
of
the
foode
of
soules
may
come
,
that
one
man
may
bee
glad
to
seeks
to
another
for
counsell
and
comfort
.
And
if
thy
house
be
emptie
,
or
haue
but
a
little
,
thou
wilt
bee
readie
to
say
to
thy
neighbour
,
as
the
widowe
of
Sarepta
sayd
to
Eliyah
,
when
he
asked
,
a
morsell
of
bread
of
her
in
the
great
famine
that
was
in
Israel
,
I
ha●e
not
a
cake
but
a
handfull
of
meale
in
a
barrell
,
and
a
little
●yle
in
a
cruse
,
and
beholde
I
am
gathering
of
stickes●to
dresse
it
,
for
me
and
my
sonne
,
that
wee
may
eat●
thereof
,
and
die
.
So
if
any
man
troubled
in
conscience
,
come
to
thee
for
comfort
and
resolution
of
his
doubts
,
thou
wilt
say
,
Alas
,
I
haue
not
for
you
,
I
am
no
Diuine
,
I
am
troubled
aswell
as
you
,
I
haue
nothing
but
the
Lordes
prayer
,
and
the
Beleefe
,
and
the
Commaundements
by
heart
,
but
I
vnderstand
none
of
them
,
and
some
good
prayers
and
lessons
I
haue
in
a
booke
beside
:
And
if
those
will
not
serue
my
turne
when
the
tempte●
commeth
,
I
may
goe
hang
my selfe
,
or
despayre
,
I
must
die
,
or
do●
as
it
please
God
.
Now
what
crueltie
is
this
so
carelesly
to
neglect
the
meanes
of
thy
soules
health
,
who
was
bred
and
brought
vp
with
thee
from
thy
conception
,
and
hath
in
thy
seruice
spent
her
selfe
,
ministring
strength
and
reliefe
to
thy
bodie
,
to
euery
part
of
thy
bodie
,
yea
to
euery
member
,
to
euery
ioynt
,
to
euery
vaine
and
sinew
in
thy
bodie
.
And
more
seruice
then
that
too
:
for
it
hath
made
thee
to
differ
from
the
beast
,
in
that
it
hath
ministred
to
thee
▪
both
reason
,
and
vnderstanding
,
and
iudgement
,
&
memorie
,
and
affections
,
(
for
it
is
a
reasonable
soule
)
which
the
beasts
want
:
it
hath
taught
thee
to
speake
,
and
to
speake
sensible
,
&
wiselie
,
and
to
conceiue
things
quicklie
,
and
to
vse
all
other
of
Gods
creatures
comfortablie
,
and
to
rule
ouer
them
all
,
which
the
beasts
cannot
doe
:
And
wilt
not
thou
oh
sluggard
finde
so
much
leisure
as
to
gather
heauenly
meate
and
foode
for
thy
soule
,
that
in
the
day
of
affliction
and
iudgement
,
it
may
saue
both
it selfe
,
and
thy
bodie
too
?
Nay
further
consider
,
how
the
Lord
hath
shut
it
vp
in
thy
breast
,
that
it
might
bee
alwaies
in
a
readines
to
supplie
thy
wants
,
and
wilt
not
thou
be
readie
againe
to
supplie
her
wants
?
If
it
should
depart
from
thee
but
a
foote
,
for
a
minute
of
an
houre
,
it
were
present
death
vnto
thee
,
how
canst
thou
then
misse
her
?
nay
,
how
canst
thou
not
in
pi●ie
&
compassion
prouide
for
her
safetie
?
Nay
further
,
that
it
might
be
alwaies
readie
to
minister
vnto
thee
,
the
Lord
hath
made
her
which
is
immortall
,
and
diuine
,
and
spirituall
,
and
heauenly
,
and
the
most
principall
commander
of
all
,
nay
all
in
all
,
and
all
in
euery
part
of
thee
,
to
be
enclosed
within
thee
,
as
thy
close
prisoner
,
and
art
not
thou
then
bound
to
looke
vnto
her
as
her
keeper
?
Say
not
as
Cain
sayd
,
Am
I
my
brothers
keeper
?
So
,
am
I
my
soules
keeper
?
for
thy
soule
is
thy
prisoner
,
therefore
thou
art
her
keeper
:
&
if
thou
either
driue
her
out
of
thee
▪
or
suffer
her
to
perish
within
thee
,
for
want
of
good
keeping
,
her
bloud
shall
be
required
at
thy
hands
.
Take
pitie
then
,
O
sluggard
,
vpon
thy
poore
prisoner
:
which
maketh
as
pitifull
a
crie
for
her
prouision
,
if
it
bee
wanting
,
as
any
prisoners
in
the
world
.
In
London
,
and
other
such
places
,
it
would
moue
a
stonie
heart
to
heare
one
crying
vp
and
downe
the
streetes
.
Bread
and
meate
,
Bread
and
meate
for
the
poore
prisoners
of
Newgate
,
for
Christ
Iesus
sake
,
&
the
prisoners
crying
out
of
their
grates
and
holes
,
one
penie
or
halfepenie
,
for
Christ
his
sake
,
to
buy
some
bread
,
to
buy
some
bread
▪
But
thy
poore
soule
lyeth
in
a
worse
prison
than
Newgate
,
there
is
no
Gatehouse
,
nor
Cole-house
,
no
Bocardo
,
no
Little
ease
,
no
Dungeon
,
no
channell
,
nor
Duckpit
is
so
vile
a
prison
for
thy
bodie
,
as
thy
bodie
is
for
thy
soule
:
for
it
is
neither
lightsome
nor
beautifull
,
but
darke
,
and
most
dirtie
,
disquiet
and
●ustie
,
fraile
,
and
filled
vp
with
much
venome
,
and
venemous
vipers
,
I
meane
it
concerning
our
affections
.
By
reason
whereof
the
soules
of
Gods
children
haue
been
constrained
to
crye
,
lament
,
and
bewaile
their
long
being
in
it
.
Oh
(
sayth
Dauid
)
ha●
long
shall
I
lye
in
this
prison
?
(
sayth
Paul
)
who
shall
deliuer
me
out
of
this
bodie
of
sinne
?
Oh
that
I
were
dissolued
,
and
had
out
of
this
earthly
and
fraile
tabernacle
.
Now
let
thy
seruant
depart
in
peace
,
sayth
Simeon
.
Take
me
vnto
thee
,
(
sayth
Dauid
againe
)
and
bring
my
soule
out
of
this
prison
,
that
it
may
giue
thankes
unto
thee
O
Lord
.
For
so
long
as
it
is
in
this
bodie
it
cannot
see
the
Lord
,
yea
it
is
an
heauy
habitation
,
and
presseth
downe
s●re
the
spirit
from
that
familiaritie
,
which
els
it
should
〈◊〉
with
God
.
Now
al
this
while
there
are
none
that
go
about
to
gather
for
these
poore
prisoners
,
but
as
the
preachers
crye
out
to
men
to
remember
their
soules
:
but
oftentimes
they
speake
but
to
the
bellie
which
hath
no
eares
.
Oh
that
thy
poore
soule
had
but
a
grate
to
looke
out
at
▪
and
leaue
to
speake
for
her selfe
to
those
that
passe
by
thee
,
then
would
it
appeare
how
thou
hast
kept
her
,
nay
how
thou
hast
starued
her
,
oppressed
her
,
and
robbed
her
of
her
spiritual
exercises
,
her
heauenly
comforts
,
and
christian
conference
with
her
godly
friends
&
acquaintance
:
nay
,
that
she
hath
not
been
allowed
a
good
meale
in
a
yeare
,
but
now
and
then
a
few
colde
,
idle
,
sluggish
prayers
,
or
a
little
blowen
milke
from
the
breasts
of
an
old
Homely
:
and
when
any
good
matter
was
in
hand
indeede
,
thy
poore
soule
was
so
oppressed
with
surfeting
&
ryot
,
that
it
was
not
able
to
receiue
any
comfort
:
And
yet
thou
wilt
say
,
thou
hast
as
good
a
soule
to
Godward
as
any
bodie
.
But
thy
soule
may
say
to
thee
,
as
Queene
Elizabeth
sayd
to
Sir
Henry
Bennifield
her
Iayler
(
as
she
called
him
)
from
such
a
keeper
good
Lord
delitier
me
.
The
third
Sermon
.
BVt
yet
some
will
say
(
for
all
that
hath
been
sayd
)
if
there
bee
no
remedie
but
the
soule
must
haue
prouision
made
for
her
,
they
will
looke
out
for
it
:
but
it
shall
be
hereafter
when
they
are
olde
,
Remember
thy
maker
in
the
daies
of
thy
youth
?
want
nothing
:
as
husbandmen
in
the
field
to
till
it
,
and
weede
it
:
as
planters
and
waterers
to
set
it
,
and
dresse
it
:
as
pillars
of
brasse
in
Salomons
temple
,
that
are
mightie
to
vphold
thee
:
as
Elisha
with
his
staffe
readie
to
reuiue
thee
:
as
guides
with
their
lights
readie
to
conduct
thee
:
and
for
thy
safetie
,
and
all
their
safetie
,
behold
the
Lord
&
his
Angels
attending
vpon
thee
,
and
them
too
,
seruing
them
which
serue
thee
,
and
defending
them
which
defend
thee
,
and
guiding
them
which
guide
thee
:
&
therefore
doth
he
serue
,
and
defend
,
and
guide
them
,
that
they
in
him
,
and
by
him
,
may
serue
thee
,
and
defend
thee
,
and
guide
thee
.
And
as
the
Lord
from
heauen
prouided
for
Ioseph
,
that
Ioseph
from
Egypt
might
prouide
for
his
father
and
his
brethren
in
Chanaan
:
So
doth
the
Lord
still
from
heauen
minister
to
our
Princes
,
&
to
our
Magistrates
,
&
to
our
Preachers
,
and
to
our
Captaines
,
and
to
al
the
friends
&
maintainers
of
his
Gospell
,
that
they
in
their
places
may
prouide
both
for
their
owne
soules
,
and
thine
too
.
So
that
now
thou
needest
not
goe
in
feare
,
nor
heare
in
feare
,
nor
reade
in
feare
,
nor
pray
in
feare
,
as
they
did
in
Queene
Maries
daies
,
when
they
could
not
reade
a
good
book
,
but
still
they
must
be
looking
who
came
to
see
them
:
like
the
sillie
Hare
and
Conie
,
that
at
euery
bit
she
taketh
is
still
pricking
vp
her
eares
to
heare
if
the
dogges
come
:
or
rather
like
the
Iewes
which
were
faine
to
builde
the
wall
of
Ierusalem
with
their
trowelles
in
one
hand
,
and
their
swords
in
the
other
hand
,
for
feare
of
their
enemies
.
But
now
,
if
thou
be
not
too
sluggish
,
and
fearefull
of
thy
owne
shadowe
,
thou
maiest
gather
the
food
of
thy
soule
in
peace
&
security
,
&
worke
with
both
hands
,
because
the
Lord
himselfe
fighteth
for
thee
,
&
watcheth
for
thee
,
&
keepeth
thee
while
thou
doest
worke
,
and
that
thou
maiest
gather
:
As
Salomon
sayth
,
Hee
preserueth
the
state
of
the
righteous
:
he
is
a
shield
to
them
that
walke
vprightly
,
that
they
may
keeps
&c.
Thou
seest
what
blessed
meanes
and
helps
thou
hast
now
for
thy
soules
health
.
Now
consider
with
thy selfe
(
O
sluggard
)
what
monsterous
and
intollerable
ingratitude
thou
committest
,
if
thou
giue
the
Lord
leaue
thus
to
waite
and
attende
vpon
thee
,
with
all
his
seruants
,
in
heauen
and
earth
,
and
with
all
his
blessings
ready
for
thee
,
and
thou
in
the
meane
time
lye
downe
and
sleepe
,
and
say
with
thy selfe
,
It
is
not
yet
time
to
goe
,
and
gather
.
Besides
that
,
consider
further
how
hard
a
thing
it
will
be
for
thee
(
if
not
impossible
)
to
make
prouision
for
thy
soule
,
when
all
these
meanes
are
gone
,
and
this
summer
turned
into
winter
.
If
thou
wilt
not
plie
it
for
thy
soule
in
time
of
health
&
peace
,
what
canst
thou
doe
when
thou
are
beset
with
troubles
,
and
sicknes
,
and
paine
?
when
al
thy
mind
shal
be
of
thy
paine
,
and
all
thy
wits
and
sences
shall
be
taken
vp
,
and
gathered
together
to
deuise
some
remedie
against
thy
disease
,
and
to
preuent
,
or
to
sustaine
the
pangs
of
death
:
yea
nothing
will
be
so
fearfull
vnto
thee
then
(
thou
sluggard
)
as
the
remembrance
of
death
,
and
all
thy
studie
will
be
how
to
liue
still
,
for
feare
of
going
to
hell
,
if
thou
dye
.
Remember
againe
the
prouerbe
,
When
the
bellie
is
full
the
●ones
would
be
at
rest
,
not
at
worke
.
Now
if
the
minde
hath
no
list
to
work
when
thy
bellie
is
full
of
meate
and
drinke
,
&
ease
,
I
pray
thee
consider
what
mind
thy
soule
shall
haue
of
heauenely
things
,
when
thy
bodie
is
full
of
paine
,
and
griefe
,
and
torment
,
if
thou
doest
not
prouide
before
hand
spirituall
and
heauenly
comfort
?
Therefore
,
Goe
to
the
Pismire
,
O
sluggard
,
behold
her
waies
,
and
be
wise
:
for
she
gathereth
her
meate
in
summer
,
and
prouideth
her
food●
in
haruest
.
But
some
will
for
all
this
still
put
off
the
euill
day
,
and
say
as
the
euill
seruant
sayd
in
the
Gospell
,
Tush
,
[
Thou
foole
this
night
shal
thy
soule
be
fetched
away
from
thee
:
]
And
wherefore
hath
the
Lord
left
vs
certain
of
our
death
,
and
vncertaine
of
the
time
of
our
death
,
but
that
we
should
be
alwaies
readie
for
the
comming
of
death
?
And
as
for
this
summer
time
of
peace
and
plentie
,
which
vnder
the
gouernment
of
our
soueraigne
Queene
,
the
Lords
handmaide
,
we
enioy
now
,
it
cannot
bee
denied
but
it
hath
been
,
and
is
great
,
and
wonderfull
.
And
therefore
great
and
fearefull
will
be
the
Sluggards
iudgement
,
when
the
winter
of
trouble
and
penurie
shall
come
,
with
the
famine
of
the
Worde
into
the
land
,
because
he
hath
not
gathered
any
riches
for
his
soule
,
but
is
bare
,
and
barren
in
all
the
heauenly
graces
of
Gods
spirit
,
yea
in
all
this
time
,
wherein
any
man
might
haue
stored
himselfe
for
many
winters
,
and
all
weathers
.
And
when
that
time
commeth
,
thou
shalt
lye
and
thinke
vpon
the
time
past
,
yea
and
burst
thy
heart
with
griefe
,
when
thou
shalt
thinke
how
many
golden
occasions
thou
hast
omitted
:
how
many
sweete
sermons
thou
hast
lost
for
a
little
sleepe
,
or
one
vanitie
or
another
.
And
the
burden
of
thy
dolefull
and
woful
song
will
be
then
,
the
fooles
Had
I
wist
.
But
if
we
speake
of
Poperie
and
persecution
,
or
alteration
of
religion
,
or
comming
of
enemies
,
&c.
some
make
a
iest
of
that
,
as
they
doe
of
all
the
iudgements
of
God
:
No
,
no
,
say
the
secure
sluggards
,
we
shal
neuer
see
those
daies
:
and
if
they
should
come
,
thousands
and
thousans
would
dye
before
they
would
turne
:
and
as
for
the
Spanyard
,
let
him
come
when
hee
will
,
or
when
he
durst
,
he
shall
be
met
withall
I
warrant
him
:
oh
one
Englishman
will
be
too
hard
for
ten
Spanyards
:
and
if
we
all
be
true
amognst
our selues
and
hold
together
,
we
need
not
care
how
many
,
or
how
mightie
they
bee
.
Thus
we
see
how
foolishly
foolish
men
talke
,
and
how
vaine
their
confidence
and
hope
is
,
which
is
builded
onely
vpon
ifs
,
and
ands
.
As
if
one
should
say
,
If
it
doth
not
raine
,
it
will
hold
vp
:
But
is
he
sure
it
shall
not
raine
?
so
,
are
they
sure
the
enemies
shall
not
come
?
or
if
they
come
,
are
they
sure
that
al
wil
be
true
amongst
our selues
?
or
is
it
likely
?
And
what
reason
haue
any
man
to
stande
so
much
vpon
the
strength
and
valour
of
an
Englishman
,
as
that
one
should
be
too
hard
for
ten
outlandish
men
?
seeing
God
giueth
strength
,
and
victory
where
it
pleaseth
him
,
and
sometime
armeth
his
enemies
against
his
church
,
yea
and
the
very
flyes
,
and
lice
,
and
frogges
,
and
caterpillers
,
&
grashoppers
,
and
all
his
creatures
he
can
arme
when
he
pleaseth
,
to
humble
proud
flesh
,
and
to
subdue
the
pride
and
power
of
Kings
and
kingdomes
.
Oh
but
God
will
neuer
suffer
them
to
preuaile
so
farre
against
vs
(
say
some
)
they
are
most
wicked
Idolaters
,
and
wee
professe
his
Gospell
,
&c.
As
if
the
Lord
were
more
bound
to
vs
,
then
to
them
:
or
as
though
it
were
for
our
goodnes
sake
that
the
Lord
had
preserued
vs
hetherto
,
and
not
for
his
owne
name
sake
,
because
it
was
his
pleasure
to
make
vs
his
〈◊〉
.
Dauid
was
once
of
that
minde
,
Now
then
let
vs
come
to
the
poynt
,
and
see
why
it
is
not
likelie
.
We
vse
to
saie
,
that
after
a
great
time
of
heate
,
there
will
come
a
cooler
,
and
it
is
so
for
the
most
part
.
And
as
it
is
in
the
state
of
times
and
seasons
,
so
is
it
also
in
the
state
of
the
Church
:
and
therefore
it
is
not
vnlikely
,
that
after
this
long
time
of
peace
and
ease
,
there
may
come
a
cooler
:
for
so
it
hath
been
commonly
seene
from
the
beginning
,
and
not
without
cause
:
for
if
nature
should
not
sometimes
be
corrected
,
it
would
in
time
bee
wholly
corrupted
:
the
standing
water
that
is
neuer
troubled
,
we
knowe
by
experience
doth
breede
the
most
filth
.
And
if
the
ayre
shoulde
still
bee
calme
,
and
neuer
bee
clensed
by
the
windes
,
by
thunder
,
and
lightning
,
it
would
proue
infectious
:
the
bodie
that
is
not
exercised
,
aboundeth
most
in
ill
humours
,
and
the
yron
that
is
not
scoured
still
gathereth
rust
,
and
the
childe
that
is
continually
fed
,
and
hath
whatsoeuer
he
craueth
,
and
cryeth
for
,
at
last
playeth
with
his
meate
,
and
casteth
it
to
the
dogges
:
and
therefore
it
is
necessarie
that
sometime
he
should
be
abridged
and
pinched
.
And
so
doth
the
Lord
also
(
by
interrupting
the
peace
and
ease
of
his
Church
)
purge
the
ill
humours
of
pride
and
contempt
growing
in
the
bodie
of
his
Church
:
so
doth
he
vse
to
scoure
off
the
rust
of
impatience
,
and
distrustfulnes
which
growe
vpon
our
yron
hearts
with
the
graces
of
Gods
spirite
.
So
doth
he
by
stormes
and
tempests
,
by
thunderings
,
&
lightnings
of
troubles
and
persecutions
,
clense
the
corrupt
ayre
of
his
Church
,
least
the
good
graces
of
faith
and
of
repentance
,
and
of
loue
,
and
of
zeale
,
and
of
patience
,
and
of
charitie
,
should
through
continuall
calmenes
be
infected
with
infidelitie
,
or
impenitenc●e
,
or
hardnes
of
heart
,
or
profanenes
,
or
pride
,
or
vaineglorie
,
or
selfe-loue
,
or
coldenes
,
or
Apostasie
,
or
with
one
spirituall
disease
or
another
:
and
so
dooth
the
Lord
vse
to
pinch
,
and
abridge
his
Church
of
the
foode
of
his
heauenly
worde
,
now
and
then
,
and
sometime
for
a
long
time
,
when
it
is
loathed
,
and
plaied
withall
,
and
trode
vnder
foote
,
and
all
this
the
Lord
dooth
in
singular
wisdome
,
because
the
worth
of
benefites
is
not
so
well
knowne
,
as
by
the
want
of
them
.
That
our
hearts
and
soules
are
cankred
and
rustie
it
is
most
euident
,
and
therefore
a
scouring
is
to
be
thought
vpon
at
the
least
:
that
there
are
many
ill
humours
of
vnthankfulnes
,
of
pride
,
of
contempt
,
of
crueltie
,
and
oppression
,
of
swearing
and
forswearing
,
of
whordomes
,
and
drunkennes
,
of
al
kind
of
profanenes
and
abominations
abounding
in
the
bodie
of
the
Church
,
it
is
not
to
be
denied
.
And
therefore
a
time
of
purging
and
exercise
is
to
be
thought
vpon
.
That
Manna
is
loathed
,
and
the
pure
preaching
of
Gods
most
holy
word
despised
,
and
the
faithfull
Prophets
of
the
Lord
hated
,
and
molested
,
for
doing
the
Lords
message
,
and
the
feete
of
the●
which
bring
glad
tidings
counted
most
soule
,
which
should
bee
esteemed
as
most
beautifull
,
all
this
is
too
visible
,
and
palpable
,
and
therefore
Amos
his
famine
is
to
be
thought
vpon
,
When
Christ
,
Rome
The
very
selfe
same
thing
wee
may
obserue
in
this
our
age
,
both
in
the
kingdom
of
France
,
and
elsewhere
:
For
when
the
Church
was
as
it
were
newe
borne
againe
,
and
had
a
glorious
beginning
,
like
the
rising
of
the
Sunne
,
it
hath
been
seene
soone
after
to
slide
downe
and
carried
backe
againe
.
And
yet
before
the
Lorde
layde
those
fearefull
punishments
vpon
them
,
of
ciuill
dissentions
,
and
of
bloudie
massacres
,
accompanied
with
many
horrible
mischiefes
moe
,
the
Gospell
was
seene
diuers
and
sundry
waies
euery
where
filthilie
abused
:
in
so
much
that
the
sudden
turning
vp
of
things
that
happened
,
is
not
so
greatly
to
bee
wondered
at
,
as
Gods
long
sufferance
,
in
bearing
with
the
prodigious
wickednes
of
our
time
.
And
in
England
,
amongst
so
many
thousands
as
to
outward
appearance
had
very
gladlie
denied
the
Pope
,
and
professed
themselues
Gospellers
:
how
fewe
(
I
pray
you
)
doe
fall
to
amendment
of
their
vices
?
Nay
rather
,
what
do
the
greater
part
pretend
,
but
that
when
the
yoke
of
superstition
was
shaken
off
,
they
might
more
licentiously
giue
themselues
to
all
carnall
libertie
?
And
albeit
they
confesse
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
to
bee
true
,
yet
where
is
there
one
among
many
that
submitteth
his
necke
vnto
the
yoke
and
discipline
thereof
?
That
Christ
shall
be
abased
for
their
aduancement
,
they
are
content
:
That
he
shall
be
pinched
with
pouertie
and
penurie
to
make
them
rich
,
they
are
content
:
That
Christ
shall
bee
betrayed
for
them
,
if
not
by
them
too
,
they
are
also
content
:
That
Christ
shall
be
whipped
for
them
,
and
imprisoned
for
them
,
and
buffered
for
them
,
and
mocked
at
for
them
,
and
crucified
for
them
,
they
are
very
well
content
,
and
like
it
well
:
but
that
Christ
shall
be
the
King
of
their
soules
,
and
rule
them
,
and
censure
them
,
and
order
them
,
by
his
owne
lawes
and
ordinances
,
they
will
none
of
that
;
because
that
is
against
our
pleasure
▪
and
against
our
profite
,
and
against
our
honours
,
and
dignities
:
Like
the
young
man
in
the
Gospell
,
that
would
doe
any
thing
that
Christ
bad
him
,
Now
then
what
is
to
be
looked
for
,
or
likely
to
ensue
,
but
a
most
sharpe
punishment
answerable
to
such
wicked
,
&
wilfull
contempts
?
And
if
any
thing
be
to
be
wondered
at
,
here
is
the
wonder
,
that
(
considering
our
great
vnthankfulnes
)
any
part
of
the
worke
remaineth
which
God
hath
begun
.
And
(
to
conclude
this
poynt
)
wee
see
how
the
Lord
hath
tossed
and
turned
his
Church
from
time
to
time
:
how
he
hath
from
the
beginning
of
the
worlde
both
summered
it
,
and
wintered
it
,
eased
it
,
and
pinched
it
,
pardoned●
it
,
and
plagued
it
,
for
the
abuse
of
his
grace
,
and
contempt
of
his
worde●
wee
see
the
print
of
his
steppes
in
all
pla●●●●
before
the
floud
,
and
since
the
floud
:
in
Israel
,
and
in
Iudah
,
and
in
Ierusalem
,
and
in
Rome
,
and
in
Chanaan
,
which
is
now
Turkey
,
and
in
France
,
and
in
Scotland
,
and
in
Germanie
,
and
in
England
too
,
which
hath
been
ouerrunne
sometime
by
the
Danes
,
and
sometime
by
the
Normanes
,
and
somtime
by
the
Britaines
,
and
now
inhabited
with
Englishmen
,
that
can
scarce
tel
of
whom
,
or
whence
they
came
.
And
in
England
we
knowe
what
changes
and
alterations
haue
happened
:
one
while
Poperie
,
another
while
the
Gospell
:
now
peace
,
and
ano●
persecution
:
and
like
the
sea
,
our
peace
still
ebbing
and
flowing
,
but
neuer
certaine
,
and
now
more
enuied
,
and
threatned
,
then
●uer
it
was
.
This
we
see
,
I
say
,
and
this
may
the
sluggard
see
if
he
will
awake
.
And
seeing
●his
course
which
God
hath
continually
thus
taken
,
what
reason
hath
the
sluggard
to
lye
still
snorting
and
sleeping
in
his
sinnes
,
as
he
doth
,
both
in
the
Court
and
countrey
,
in
the
cities
&
villages
,
and
in
euery
place
els
,
as
he
doth
?
And
what
reason
hast
thou
(
oh
sluggard
)
to
dreame
still
of
a
drie
summer
,
as
it
is
in
the
Prouerbe
,
and
not
to
thinke
of
a
winter
aswell
as
of
a
summer
?
What
charter
hast
thou
〈◊〉
then
thy
fellowes
that
are
gone
before
thee
?
〈◊〉
thou
better
then
they
?
I
tell
thee
,
nay
the
Lord
Iesus
tels
thee
,
thou
art
not
better
whatsoeuer
thou
art
,
but
worse
:
Except
thou
repent
〈◊〉
shalt
likewise
perish
.
Thinke
no
longer
therefore
with
thy selfe
,
that
thou
shalt
neuer
be
awakened
:
for
by
all
likelihoods
and
probable
coniectures
,
a
winter
will
come
,
with
such
stormes
and
tempests
,
that
shall
awake
thee
,
and
pinch
thee
,
&
starue
thee
too
,
if
thou
prouide
not
in
time
for
thy
safetie
.
And
take
this
withall
,
that
the
longer
it
be
in
comming
,
she
sharper
will
it
bee
when
it
commeth
:
because
,
to
whom
much
is
giuen
,
of
him
much
shall
bee
required
.
Therefore
,
Goe
to
the
Pismire
,
O
sluggard
,
b●hold
her
waits
and
be
wise
:
for
she
&c.
Whether
this
winter
bee
neere
,
hand
,
or
farre
off
and
how
wee
may
know
it
.
The
fourth
Sermon
.
BVt
all
this
will
no
awake
the
Sluggard
.
〈…〉
with
himselfe
,
〈…〉
for
though
it
〈…〉
winter
may
come
,
yet
now
it
is
summer
,
&
winter
will
not
come
yet
:
Like
the
euill
seruant
in
the
Gospel
that
said
,
My
master
will
not
come
yet
and
so
fell
to
beating
of
his
fellowes
still
,
as
the
sluggard
falleth
to
sleepe
still
,
and
still
puts
off
the
day
of
his
turning
to
God
.
And
it
seemeth
that
this
is
no
news
deuise
of
the
sluggard
:
for
he
hath
learned
it
of
the
scornefull
men
of
Ierusalem
,
and
it
is
a
common
answere
of
all
sluggards
that
meane
to
dwell
still
in
their
sinnes
:
It
will
not
come
yet

Learne
the
parable
of
the
fig
tree
(
sayth
Christ
)
when
her
bough
is
yet
tender
,
and
it
bringeth
foorth
leaues
,
ye
knowe
that
summer
is
neere
:
Therefore
by
the
rule
of
contraries
,
when
the
figge
trees
bough
hath
lost
her
tendernes
,
and
cast
her
leaues
,
we
may
knowe
that
winter
is
neere
.
The
figge
tree
shall
be
the
Church
of
England

the

Before
〈◊〉
was
King
of
Aram
,
the
Prophet
Elisha
looked
earnestly
vpon
him
,
an●
wept
:
&
being
asked
of
Hazael
why
he
wept
,
he
told
him
the
cause
,
From
him
that
hath
not
,
shall
be
taken
away
,
euen
that
which
he
seemeth
to
haue
.
I
say
nothing
all
this
while
of
the
infinite
swarmes
of
Papists
,
&
of
Atheists
,
and
of
Neuters
,
and
of
Libertines
,
and
of
Epicures
,
and
of
Machiuels
,
and
of
Hypocrites
,
&
time-seruers
,
and
false
brethren
,
and
scoffers
at
Religion
,
&
Protestants
at
large
,
&
Schismatikes
,
and
worldlings
,
and
priury
whisperers
,
&
backbiters
,
and
ruffians
,
and
couseners
,
&

,
and
many
moe
of
that
crue
,
besides
whoremongers
and
baudes
,
and
theeues
,
and
rogues
,
&
a
companie
of
rakehels
which
cannot
be
numbred
,
all
which
are
permitted
and
suffered
for
money
,
&
briberie
,
by
baseminded
vnder
officers
to
iet
it
,
&
braue
it
vp
&
down
in
the
land
,
yea
,
with
countenance
&
credite
too
,
perhaps
more
then
shall
be
aforded
to
better
men
.
And
where
is
he
that
dare
speak
almost
against
them
,
much
lesse
bridle
them
:
for
feare
of
many
displeasures
,
and
dangers
?
And
is
it
not
come
to
passe
,
that
a
man
may
with
more
saftie
&
credite
commit
sinne
then
control
sinne
,
which
is
most
lamentable
?
It
was
once
said
of
Rome
,
(
so
far
was
it
degenerate
from
all
grace
&
goodnes
)
that
Omnia
cum
liceant
,
non
licet
esse
bon●●
.
〈◊〉
was
lawfull
to
bee
any
bodie
,
and
to
doe
any
thing
in
Rome
,
but
not
to
bee
a
good
man
.
And
is
it
not
almost
come
to
that
passe
in
some
places
of
England
,
that
it
is
more
tollerable
for
a
man
to
bee
what
hee
will
,
sauing
a
good
man
indeede
?
For
that
can
hardly
bee
without
some
trouble
.
Doest
thou
see
now
how
the
poore
Church
of
GOD
is
pestered
,
and
ou●●runne
with
weedes
and
wildernes
?
And
〈◊〉
thou
not
maruaile
that
the
Lorde
hath
let
it
●lone
so
long
?
When
thou
seest
the
Church
of
God
thus
pained
,
(
though
in
respect
of
others
of
her
sisters
very
blessed
)
imagine
thou
seest
Iob
aliue
againe
,
sitting
downe
vpon
his
ashe
heape
and
breaking
out
with
botches
&
sores
,
from
the
top
to
the
toe
,
And
further
,
it
is
to
be
obserued
,
how
the
enemies
of
the
Gospell
,
and
the
Churche
of
Christ
doe
encrease
,
how
bolde
they
growe
,
how
disguisedly
they
goe
,
and
how
they
can
fitte
themselues
to
the
present
time
,
and
frame
themselues
to
euery
companie
,
hauing
change
of
sutes

and
visards
wherein
they
maske
it
at
the●●
pleasure

that
the
Church

〈◊〉
a

:
neither
doth
she
know

All
our

(
vnder

〈◊〉
still

,
that
our

I
meane
her
〈…〉
,
on
whose

the
poore
Church
of

Lorde
Iesus
may
lay
her
head
,
whose
tender
loue
and
care
doth
still
●euiue
the
fainting
spirits
of
Christs
little
●●ocke
,
which
otherwise
were
euen
readi●
〈◊〉
yeeld

but
that
their
trust

who

This
is
some
comfort
yet

(
God
make

This
is
some

I

But
yet
in
this
bless●d
comfort
there
appeareth
s●fficient
matter
to
humble
vs
,
and
to
make
the
sluggard
looke
about
him
:
For
is
not
the
Church
now
very
sick
,
&
weake
?
Is
not
her
Mother
,
our
gracious
Soueraigne
,
in
continuall
danger
of
〈◊〉
hangbies

and
bloudie
traytors

Are
not
hollow

subiects
a●mitted
to
her
gracious
●●●sence
many
times

more
then
she

But
that
the
Lord
hath
still
〈◊〉
them
,
as
cunningly
as
they
masked
it

(
blessed

his

And
doe
not
the
bloudie
Papists
(
for
that
is

not
onely
waite
for
a
day
,
like
Esaw
who
purposed
to
kill
his
brother
when
his
father
was
gone
?
Well
,
〈◊〉
Lord
is
in
heauen
&
laugheth
them
to
scorne
,
and
knoweth
how
to
dispose
of
their
purposes
and
intents
wel
enough
,
and
can
preuent
them
if
it
please
his
Maiestie
(
as
he
hath
done
)
:
but
this
may
greatly
humble
vs
,
and
awake
vs
.
Againe
,
as
we
haue
obserued
in
the
preaching
of
the
Word
where
it
is
,
a
great
defect
in
respect
of
the
manner
which
is
too
pleasing
:
so
also
may
we
obserue
(
if
our
eyes
be
in
our
head●
)
some
corruption
in
respect
of
the
matter
in
many
places
,
though
not
so
general
as
the
former
.
And
that
is
not
lightly
to
be
passed
ouer
,
but
wee
should
learne
in
the
feare
of
God
to
make
some
vse
thereof
.
And
let
the
sluggard
consider
well
of
it
,
that
when
any
shall
now
in
so
great
and
cleere
a
light
of
the
Gospell
,
popishly
maintaine
the
7.
deadly
sins
:
or
call
in
question
our
iustification
by
faith
in
Christ
alone
:
or
denie
to
the
Church
the
assura●c●
of
her
saluation
by
Christ
:
or
discourage
men
〈◊〉
the
reading
of
the
scriptures
:
we
are
to
〈…〉
of
these
things
.
Last
of
all
(
to
conclude
〈◊〉
poynt
)
when
any
shall
teach
that
we
must
beleeue
as
the
Church
beleeueth
,
without
examining
the
doctrine
by
the
word
:
and
if
any
man
be
deceiued
,
that
it
is
sufficient
for
him
to
say
before
the
Lord
,
that
the
Church
deceiued
him
:
as
if
it
had
been
sufficient
for
,
Adam
to
say
,
his
wife
deceiued
him
,
and
the
serpent
deceiued
her
.
When
thou
Hearest
(
I
say
)
of
these
things
day
them
to
heart
,
&
take
them
as
prognostications
of
further
matters
,
and
forerunners
of
greater
euils
to
ensue
:
especially
seeing
the
people
are
as
greedie
to
drinke
,
as
othe●●
〈…〉
broach
whatsoeuer
it
be
.
Therfore
the
〈…〉
his
rich
mercie
open
our
sluggish
ey●●
〈…〉
of
our
〈…〉
curitie
.
And
as
Christ
sayd
,
Thus
haue
wee
runne
about
the
streetes
,
〈◊〉
Ieremie
did
,
and
in
casting
our
eyes
here
and
there
,
wee
haue
found
that
which
you
see
:
much
more
is
behind
that
we
see
not
.
But
this
is
suffici●n●
to
proue
vnto
the
sluggards
face
,
that
as
a
winter
is
likely
〈◊〉
come
:
so
(
if
God
bee
not
exceeding
mercifull
)
by
all
signes
and
●okens
it
is
hard
at
hande
:
for
the
figge
tree
hath
lost
her
tendernes
,
and
there
is
generally
a
fall
of
the
leafe
in
all
places
:
and
wh●n
wee
see
that
,
we
may
know
for
a
certaine
that
winter
is
neere
.
Therefore
(
O
Sluggard
)
put
off
the
time
no
longer
:
but
while
it
is
yet
summer
prouide
against
winter
,
least
thou
repent
it
too
la●e
.
By
this
time
the
Sluggard
might
haue
been
awakened
,
but
he
sleepeth
still
▪
and
therfore
now
let
vs
heare
the.
Lord
calling
〈◊〉
him
,
and
what
answere
hee
will
make
when
hee
is
called
.
The

Sermon

How
long
wilt
thou
sleepe
,
O
sluggard
wh●●
〈◊〉
thou
arise
out
of
thy
sleepe
10
Yet
a
little
sleepe
,
&c.
THis
question
demau●ded
of
the
Sluggard
,
doth
most
〈…〉
set
foorth
his
nature
,
which
●●lighteth
in
sleeping
long
,
which
loueth
ease
and
idlenes
,
which
hat●th
labour
and
diligence
,
and
yet
〈◊〉
al
〈…〉
little
though
he
hath
been
long
idle●
and
finally
▪
is
so
farre
from
amendme●●
,
being
admonished
,
that
he
resolueth
still
to
〈…〉
he
began
,
excusing
it
by
a
little
,
and
〈◊〉
.
Whereby
we
may
see
,
that
whatsoeuer
〈…〉
sayd
to
the
Sluggard
,
that
wanteth
the
spirit
of
God
to
quicken
him
,
is
but
as
so
much
water
powred
on
a
Blackamoore
,
the
water
is
spilt
,
and
the
Blackamoore
is
neuer
the
whiter
.
In
this
demaund
to
the
Sluggard
,
the
Lord
expostulateth
the
matter
with
all
of
vs
for
our
dueties
,
&
rowseth
vs
vp
out
of
our
dead
sleep
,
to
shewe
that
we
are
all
too
careles
in
our
dueties
commaunded
of
God
:
So
loth
is
the
Lord
to
leaue
vs
vnto
our selues
,
that
when
he
hath
called
once
,
he
calleth
againe
,
and
debateth
with
vs
for
our
carelesnes
,
as
he
did
with
Israel
his
owne
people
for
their
vnkindnes
and
wilfulnes
,
in
refusing
the
meanes
of
their
saluation
:
saying
,
Why
will
you
die
O
house
of
Iacob
,
why
will
you
die
?
That
both
they
and
we
might
see
the
great
goodnes
of
the
Lord
towards
vs
,
and
that
the
Lord
might
be
iustified
when
wee
are
iudged
,
The
former
patterne
of
diligence
in
the
Pismire
was
sufficient
to
controll
vs
all
,
and
to
humble
vs
,
for
our
slouthfulnes
in
our
calling
,
(
if
we
were
wise
indeede
,
for
a
word
to
a
wise
man
is
sufficient
)
and
very
effectuall
is
that
doctrine
which
the
Lord
hath
taught
vs
by
it
:
yet
it
pleaseth
God
to
goe
on
still
in
expostulating
and
debating
the
matter
with
vs
(
as
we
see
)
whereby
we
may
learne
,
what
a
hard
matter
it
is
to
awaken
our
sluggish
nature
,
&
when
we
are
awake
,
as
hard
it
is
to
keepe
vs
awake
:
for
our
eyes
are
no
sooner
open
,
but
wee
fall
to
nodding
againe
:
Like
the
Disciples
of
Christ
,
who
slept
on
still
,
though
their
master
called
them
,
though
he
called
them
lowd
,
and
often
,
though
the
tempter
were
neere
,
and
they
in
daunger
of
falling
into
the
pit
of
temptations
;
yet
coulde
they
not
watch
so
much
as
one
houre
,
so
heauie
were
they
:
And
so
is
it
with
vs
,
if
we
bee
as
good
as
Christs
disciples
.
Now
if
the
best
bee
so
heauie
and
sleepie
,
what
are
the
worst
?
The
experience
hereof
we
haue
daily
:
Let
vs
goe
but
to
the
Temple
where
the
word
is
preached
,
and
there
we
shall
see
men
no
sooner
set
downe
,
but
fast
asleepe
.
And
the
like
we
finde
at
home
in
perfourming
our
spiritual
exercises
,
whether
it
bee
of
prayer
,
or
reading
,
or
singing
Psalmes
,
or
instructing
our
families
,
though
Gods
spirite
doth
sometime
touch
vs
,
and
awake
vs
,
yet
are
we
soone
forgetfull
,
and
sleepe
creepeth
on
againe
.
Therefore
the
Lord
giueth
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
we
haue
neede
of
many
words
to
rowse
vs
,
and
all
little
enough
.
For
sinne
is
stubborne
,
like
a
monster
whose
face
is
of
brasse
,
whose
necke
is
of
yron
,
and
his
heart
as
hard
as
an
Adamant
.
And
therefore
when
the
Prophets
had
to
deale
with
the
stubborne
Iewes
,
the
Lord
told
them
they
should
deale
with
a
stiffenecked
people
,
whose
necks
had
finewes
of
yron
,
I
ha●●
swor●e
(
saith
he
in
one
place
)
and
will
perfor●●
it
,
that
I
will
keepe
thy
righteous
iudgements
.
I●
another
place
,
the
Church
prayeth
God
to
●●member
Dauid
:
that
is
,
his
couenant
made
with
Dauid
,
In
this
demand
we
are
(
as
we
see
)
accused
,
and
indited
of
making
great
delaies
of
those
dueties
which
we
owe
to
God
.
A
matter
surely
very
worthie
to
be
expostulated
:
God
be
mercifull
to
me
in
this
:
for
though
he
knewe
it
to
bee
a
sinne
to
goe
into
his
Rimmon
,
yet
he
must
goe
in
and
do
as
his
master
did
,
and
God
must
dispense
with
him
in
that
.
Many
such
Naamans
there
are
still
,
which
haue
one
Rimmon
or
other
that
they
knowe
of
,
and
yet
they
sleepe
on
still
in
their
beloued
sinnes
:
some
in
vsurie
,
some
in
whoring
,
some
in
stealing
,
some
in
swearing
,
some
in
oppressing
the
poore
,
some
in
deceiuing
both
poore
and
rich
,
some
in
scoffing
at
Religion
,
some
in
prophaning
the
Lordes
sabbath
,
some
in
persecuting
their
brethen
,
some
in
their
ambitious
and
vaine-glorious
attempts
,
and
some
in
one
sinne
,
and
some
in
another
,
euery
one
hath
his
Rimmon
.
And
thinketh
in
his
base
conceite
,
that
the
Lord
is
as
negligent
in
punishing
of
their
presumptuous
rebellions
,
as
they
are
in
obeying
his
holy
commaundements
:
but
let
them
take
heed
of
dallying
too
long
with
his
Maiestie
,
for
hee
will
not
bee
mocked
,
though
they
bee
deceiued
.
The
Children
of
God
are
commended
(
in
the
word
)
for
their
diligence
in
obeying
the
will
of
God
,
when
once
they
know
what
was
his
pleasure
:
If
men
cannot
like
that
duetie
which
commeth
slowly
from
vs
,
much
lesse
is
it
acceptable
to
God
.
We
must
first
serue
our selues
,
and
then
obeye
GOD
,
as
he
that
would
first
goe
home
and
burie
his
father
,
Thy
will
be
done
in
earth
by
vs
,
〈…〉
A●gles
doe
it
in
heauen

The
Angels
neuer
〈◊〉
their
busines
,
but
doe
it
〈◊〉
,
and
therefore
the
scripture
doth
gi●●
〈…〉
note
their
swiftnes
:
now
if
wee
say●
his
:
〈◊〉
and
doe
not
〈◊〉
God
〈◊〉
,
●hat
doe
wee
else
〈…〉
with

〈◊〉
▪
How
long
wilt
thou
sleepe
O
Sluggard
?
How
long
shall
God
daunce
attendance
vpon
thee
?
As
the
Lord
in
this
demaund
doth
charge
vs
with
delayes
in
his
seruice
,
so
in
the
same
wordes
he
doth
likew●●e
teach
a
way
to
redresse
the
same
▪
And
that
is
to
consider
how
long
wee
haue
slept
,
or
●ow
long
wee
haue
made
the
Lorde
to
waite
our
leisure
in
euery
thing
.
And
in
the
Scripture
wee
shall
finde
that
by
this
meanes
the
children
of
God
haue
been
much
stirred
〈◊〉
to
doe
their
duetie
.
In
the
119.
Psalme
〈◊〉
60.
Dauid
saith
,
He
considered
his
wai●●
,
〈◊〉
then
made
haste
to
keepe
the
Comma●●●●ments
of
GOD
,
which
hee
did
not
befo●●
he
considered
his
waies
,
that
is
before
he
considered
how
long
he
had
gone
out
of
the
rig●●
waie
,
and
wandred
in
his
owne
crooked
〈◊〉
to
shew
that
the
cause
why
we
put
off
the
k●●ping
of
Gods
commandements
is
,
because
we
consider
not
how
long
wee
haue
dwelt
in
〈◊〉
sinnes
.
But
if
we
doe
consider
how
long
God
hath
forborne
vs
,
and
swallowed
vp
our
sinnes
in
his
mercies
,
this
woulde
make
our
〈◊〉
hearts
to
relent
,
except
we
were
past
all
goodnes
.
To
consider
(
I
say
)
how
long
the
Lor●●
hath
spared
vs
when
he
might
often
most
〈◊〉
haue
punished
vs
:
how
hee
hath
euery
●o●ning
renewed
his
mercies
with
vs
,
when
〈◊〉
might
haue
consumed
vs
in
our
sinnes
:
&
how
long
wee
haue
disobeyed
him
,
and
pro●oked
his
maiestie
to
wrath
,
except
wee
were
desp●rate
,
and
giuen
vp
to
a
reprobate
minde
,
these
things
would
wring
bitter
teares
from
〈◊〉
eyes
.
He
hath
wooed
vs
,
and
besought
vs
this
36.
yeares
,
by
his
worde
,
to
bee
●●conciled
●●to
him
,
and
still
we
prouoke
him
.
Then
let
the
sluggish
Magistrates
consider
of
this
:
How
long
will
they
neglect
the
glorie
of
God
to
set
vp
their
owne
?
How
long
by
their
euill
examples
shall
the
people
stumble
and
fall
into
〈◊〉
How
long
shall
the
poore
crye
out
for
iustice
?
How
long
will
they
continue
in
discountenauncing
of
good
men
and
good
causes
,
and
many
fowle
faultes
moe
would
be
considered
of
them
,
how
long
they
haue
continued
?
This
is
also
for
the
slouthfull
minister
to
thinke
vpon
:
How
long
will
they
keepe
the
doore
of
Heauen
shut
?
For
if
they
had
preached
diligently
and
faithfullie
,
it
had
been
impossible
for
poperie
to
haue
crept
into
so
many
mindes
as
it
hath
done
.
How
long
will
they
betraye
Gods
cause
,
and
let
the
people
perish
for
want
of
instruction
?
So
to
the
Adulterer
also
,
how
long
shall
the
Lorde
beare
thy
filthines
,
and
how
long
wilt
thou
abuse
thy
body
and
thy
●oule
in
his
sight
as
thou
doest
?
And
how
long
will
the
Vsurer
eate
vp
the
Lordes
people
,
as
o●e
eateth
bread
,
and
grinde
the
faces
of
the
poore
like
a
milstone
?
This
must
also
come
to
the
quarreller
,
and
malicious
person
to
be
considered
of
:
how
long
will
they
〈◊〉
in
their
hatred
,
byting
one
of
another
?
is
there
no
end
of
their
malice
?
will
their
rash
iudging
,
and
condemning
one
of
another
neuer
come
to
an
ende
?
This
is
also
spoken
to
Parents
:
how
long
shall
the
Lord
call
vpon
you
to
bring
vp
your
children
in
the
feare
of
his
name
?
How
long
will
you
suffer
them
to
liue
so
wantonly
,
and
so
loosely
as
yee
doe
?
How
long
shall
they
goe
vp
and
downe
the
streetes
with
such
filthie
songes
,
othes
and
ribaldies
in
their
mouthes
to
bewraie
their
filthie
educatio●
withall
?
Consider
of
this
question
also
,
yo●
that
bee
seruants
,
How
long
shall
the
worlde
complaine
of
your
idle
and
vnfaithfull
seruice
?
When
will
you
begin
to
adorne
the
doct●in●
of
the
Gospell
,
with
your
good
conuersation
?
This
is
also
for
vnthriftie
gentlemen
,
that
spe●●
their
da●es
in
play
,
and
●iotting
:
How
long
will
you
bee
vnfaithfull
〈◊〉
?
how
long
shall
the
Lord
waite
for
your
conuersion
?
Thi●
is
also
to
occupiers
,
which
liue
by
false
othes
,
by
false
waights
,
and
false
lights
,
&
false
〈◊〉
how
long
shall
the
Lord
daunce
your
at●●ndance
for
the
reformation
of
these
abomin●tions
?
There
be
many
mo●
that
are
also
to
consider
of
this
poynt
:
but
that
which
the
Lord
speaketh
to
one
,
he
speaketh
to
euery
one
,
〈◊〉
long
wilt
thou
sleepe
O
sluggard
?
Though
〈◊〉
woman
of
Samaria
dallied
and
iested
long
〈◊〉
the
words
of
the
Lord
Iesus
▪
yet
at
the
last
,
Oh
that
there
were
such
a
heart
in
my
people
to
heare
me
,
and
obey
me
,
that
it
might
goe
well
with
them
,
&
their
children
.
But
yet
we
heare
him
not
.
Now
,
if
we
still
shall
giue
him
the
deafe
eare
,
hardening
our
hearts
when
wee
should
heare
his
voyce
,
shall
wee
not
showe
our selues
worse
then
he
that
feared
neither
God
,
nor
man
?
When
Christ
forbad
the
diuell
to
torment
and
vexe
a
man
,
he
trembled
at
his
word
,
and
obeyed
his
commandement
.
There
be
many
that
deuise
with
themselues
how
to
molest
and
vexe
the
children
and
seruants
of
God
,
for
professing
the
truth
,
and
discharging
a
good
conscience
:
The
Lord
Iesus
hath
often
forbidden
them
,
crying
to
them
as
he
did
to
Saul
:
Saul
,
Saul
,
why
persecutest
thou
me
?
thou
doest
but
kicke
against
the
pricke
:
and
yet
they
still
persist
in
their
purpose
.
By
which
it
should
seeme
that
they
haue
lesse
●eare
of
God
in
them
then
the
diuell
himselfe
:
and
if
they
still
continue
so
,
shall
not
the
veri●
diuels
of
hell
condenme
them
?
When
the
Lord
spake
the
word
,
the
flyes
,
Woe
be
to
them
that
laugh
and
reioyce
now
:
for
they
shall
weepe
and
lament
.
When
God
had
both
warned
Pharaoh
to
let
Israel
goe
,
and
plagued
him
for
detayning
of
them
still
:
at
length
he
asked
him
this
question
,
How
long
wilt
thou
refuse
to
humble
thy selfe
before
me
?
So
the
Lord
hath
warned
vs
often
to
let
our
sinnes
goe
,
and
hath
also
in
some
measure
plagued
vs
for
keeping
them
still
.
Now
he
asketh
vs
also
the
same
question
,
How
long
will
you
refuse
to
humble
your selues
before
the
Lord
?
which
argueth
that
we
are
growne
as
hard
&
as
desperate
as
Pharaoh
was
,
which
is
also
a
signe
of
greater
plagues
yet
to
ensue
.
Now
this
is
fearefull
and
grieuous
,
when
the
Lord
commeth
vpon
vs
with
such
questions
:
for
that
sheweth
that
he
doth
not
onel●
note
our
sinnes
,
but
the
long
time
that
wee
haue
prouoked
him
by
them
,
and
that
he
is
euen
wearie
in
bearing
them
any
longer
,
and
mindeth
to
vnburthen
himselfe
of
them
,
and
to
beare
no
longer
.
And
commonly
we
may
obserue
in
the
scriptures
,
that
when
the
Lord
commeth
with
(
How
long
?
and
how
often
?
)
there
is
some
great
iudgement
following
:
as
in
the
14.
of
Numbers
the
11.
verse
,
The
Lord
sayd
t●
Moses
,
How
long
will
this
people
prouoke
me
,
and
how
long
will
it
be
,
ye●
they
beleeue
me
,
for
all
the
signes
which
I
haue
shewed
amongst
them
?
Then
marke
what
followeth
in
the
next
verse
,
I
will
smite
them
with
the
pestilence
,
and
destroy
them
,
&c.
to
shewe
,
that
though
the
Lord
beareth
long
,
yet
hee
will
not
beare
alwaies
.
When
Christ
sayd
,
O
Ierusalem
,
Ierusalem
,
how
often
would
I
haue
gathered
thee
,
as
a
henne
g●thereth
her
young
ones
,
and
thou
wouldest
not
?
So
great
was
his
griefe
conceiued
with
the
remembrance
of
those
mischiefes
that
were
to
come
vpon
Ierusalem
,
that
hee
could
not
vtter
his
speech
without
shedding
of
teares
.
Therefore
when
the
Lord
commeth
,
expostulating
the
matter
with
vs
in
this
sort
,
with
How
long
,
and
how
often
,
&c.
then
let
vs
beware
,
if
euer
wee
beware
,
whether
it
be
spoken
in
generall
to
al
,
or
in
particular
to
any
one
man
,
that
hath
been
often
warned
by
the
hand
of
God
vpon
him
.
Had
not
Moses
prayed
for
the
Israelites
,
Fortie
yeares
long
haue
I
been
grieued
with
this
generation
,
&c.
Fortie
houres
had
been
much
to
grieue
the
Lord
,
but
fortie
yeares
was
intolerable
.
Now
the
same
sinnes
are
we
also
to
be
endited
for
:
and
if
no
Iurie
will
finde
the
inditement
,
our
owne
consciences
will
crie
guiltie
.
And
how
long
haue
wee
grieued
,
and
tempted
,
and
prouoked
the
Lord
?
Hath
it
not
been
euer
since
the
Gospell
came
among
vs
?
waxing
euery
day
worse
and
worse
?
And
what
doth
that
now
lacke
of
fortie
yeares
long
,
haue
I
been
grieued
with
this
generation
?
surely
but
a
little
.
Thus
the
Lord
we
see
marketh
wel
enough
euery
thing
,
not
onely
what
we
doe
,
and
how
we
liue
,
and
how
we
sinne
:
but
how
long
we
haue
sinned
,
and
how
often
we
haue
been
warned
,
&
how
long
we
haue
refused
to
returne
,
&
to
humble
our selues
:
yea
the
Lord
marketh
how
many
yeres
,
how
many
moneths
,
how
many
weeks
,
how
many
houres
,
how
many
sermons
,
&
how
many
sentences
in
euery
sermon
we
haue
passed
ouer
in
careles
contempt
,
without
trembling
at
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
or
profiting
by
his
corrections
.
And
according
to
the
time
of
his
long
suffering
&
patience
,
&
of
our
stubbornnes
&
disobedience
,
shall
his
iudgements
be
powred
vpon
vs
,
if
wee
doe
not
preuent
them
by
true
and
speedie
repentance
.
Long
did
the
olde
worlde
sleepe
in
their
sinnes
:
long
did
Noah
preach
against
their
sins
,
and
at
last
the
floud
came
and
awakened
them
to
their
cost
.
Long
did
Sodom
and
Gomorrha
sleepe
,
and
long
did
they
vexe
the
soule
of
righteous
Lot
amongst
them
,
&
at
last
the
fire
of
Gods
wrath
awakened
them
.
Long
slept
Ierusalem
in
securitie
,
but
at
the
last
their
enemies
awaked
them
.
So
Nabuchadnezzar
heard
his
dreame
as
a
dreame
,
and
Daniel
told
him
what
would
come
of
it
long
before
it
came
,
but
he
fell
a
sleepe
againe
:
and
at
last
the
Lord
turned
him
out
amongst
the
beast
,
and
then
he
remembred
himselfe
:
but
he
was
seuen
yeares
first
in
learning
his
lesson
.
And
this
is
most
certaine
,
The
longer
the
blow
be
in
fetching
,
the
heauier
will
the
wound
be
when
it
commeth
:
And
the
deeper
the
arrowe
bee
drawne
in
the
bowe
,
the
deeper
it
pearceth
when
it
is
let
flie
.
Now
in
trueth
,
all
this
time
the
Lord
hath
forborne
vs
,
he
is
but
bending
of
his
bowe
,
and
whetting
of
his
sword
,
and
aiming
at
the
marke
:
and
because
he
doth
not
yet
let
goe
at
vs
,
wee
thinke
there
is
no
such
matter
.
But
we
deale
with
the
Lord
(
oh
miserable
wretches
that
wee
are
)
as
birds
play
with
a
skare-crowe
standing
in
a
corne
field
with
a
bowe
and
arrowe
in
his
hands
,
as
though
he
would
shoote
,
but
doth
not
:
and
therefore
they
euen
waxe
bolde
by
little
and
little
,
and
at
last
euen
flie
to
him
,
and
sit
downe
vpon
him
,
and
picke
vpon
him
.
In
all
holie
reuerence
of
Gods
vnspeakeable
maiestie
be
this
comparison
made
,
which
serueth
onely
to
declare
the
base
,
and
brutish
conceipt
that
the
wicked
haue
of
God
,
and
his
long
suffering
of
them
.
But
who
knoweth
the
force
of
the
Lords
wrath
?
And
on
the
other
side
,
(
for
the
comfort
of
the
godly
and
faithful
,
which
haue
a
sanctified
desire
to
awake
out
of
their
sleep
,
and
to
serue
the
Lord
at
the
last
in
all
holie
obedience
,
and
careful
diligence
)
though
we
haue
long
tempted
the
Lord
,
and
tried
him
:
yet
if
now
at
the
last
we
awake
in
trueth
,
we
shall
finde
,
that
as
he
hath
been
long
in
suffering
,
so
he
will
bee
as
rich
in
mercie
.
The
prodigall
childe
was
long
absent
,
and
at
last
(
returning
truely
humbled
)
was
welcome
to
his
father
,
and
ioyfully
receiued
:
and
so
shall
we
be
to
our
heauenly
father
,
if
wee
make
such
a
returne
,
and
that
betimes
.
Therefore
let
none
be
so
desperatly
minded
as
to
continue
still
his
old
course
,
as
though
there
were
no
hope
of
grace
at
his
returne
.
And
let
none
be
so
discouraged
with
the
remembrance
of
his
long
sleepe
,
as
to
runne
quite
away
from
the
Lord
:
for
God
will
finde
vs
out
wheresoeuer
we
become
,
as
he
did
Adam
when
he
had
hidden
himselfe
(
as
hee
thought
)
among
the
trees
of
the
garden
.
The
diuell
indeed
will
be
readie
to
shewe
thee
what
a
great
way
thou
hast
to
goe
backe
againe
,
what
a
number
of
dueties
neglected
thou
hast
to
repent
of
while
thou
didst
lie
asleepe
,
and
how
hard
a
thing
,
&
impossible
it
is
for
thee
to
performe
all
this
;
and
all
to
discourage
thee
,
and
to
keepe
thee
still
fast
asleep
,
but
beleeue
him
not
:
for
wherefore
doth
the
Lord
els
put
thee
in
mind
of
the
same
things
,
but
to
haue
thee
awake
and
bee
diligent
in
doing
thy
duetie
hereafter
?
And
wherfore
els
doth
he
thus
reach
forth
the
hand
of
his
grace
vnto
thee
,
but
to
helpe
thee
vp
,
which
canst
not
help
vp
thy selfe
?
Therefore
giue
ouer
now
at
the
last
,
&
be
resolute
in
the
worke
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Lord
hath
promised
,
that
all
that
is
past
shall
be
forgotten
.
Let
vs
therefore
in
the
feare
of
God
,
leaue
our
delaying
,
and
descanting
,
and
lay
this
doctrine
to
our
hearts
,
that
it
may
appeare
in
our
liues
,
that
wee
be
truely
awakened
,
and
all
will
bee
well
:
if
not
,
but
our
purpose
bee
to
sleepe
still
,
then
the
Lord
by
his
Apostle
doth
giue
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
custome
of
sinne
will
bree●e
hardnes
of
heart
,
and
hardnes
of
heart
will
bring
forth
impenitencie
in
the
end
,
that
thou
shalt
not
bee
able
to
repent
if
thou
wouldest
.
And
thus
haue
wee
heard
the
Lord
calling
to
the
Sluggard
,
and
expostulating
with
him
for
his
long
sleeping
.
Now
wee
will
heare
what
answer
the
Sluggard
maketh
vnto
the
Lord
.
The
Sluggards
answer
.
The
sixt
Sermon
.
10.
Yet
a
little
sleepe
,
a
little
slumber
,
a
little
folding
of
the
hands
to
sleepe
.
IN
this
answer
the
spirite
of
God
doth
so
liuelie
describe
the
condition
of
the
Sluggard
,
that
he
may
know
he
is
in
his
bosome
,
to
shewe
vs
that
hee
can
painte
out
our
sinnes
as
plainely
as
we
doe
commit
them
:
for
hee
is
in
our
hearts
,
and
waiteth
vpon
vs
,
and
can
tell
what
we
doe
,
and
though
the
wicked
cannot
see
them
,
because
the
diuell
hath
blinded
their
eyes
,
yet
Gods
spirite
doth
search
them
out
,
because
all
things
are
open
in
his
sight
,
bee
they
in
respect
of
men
neuer
so
secret
.
Now
the
Lorde
in
causing
the
Sluggard
to
speake
for
himselfe
,
doth
make
it
knowne
to
all
the
world
,
that
hee
hath
no
wrong
offered
him
,
because
his
owne
mouth
hath
testified
against
himselfe
,
and
openly
shamed
himselfe
,
and
therefore
his
condemnation
must
needes
bee
when
it
commeth
both
great
,
and
iust
.
For
wheras
other
sinners
being
called
to
their
answers
,
were
both
afraide
of
God
and
ash●med
of
themselues
,
the
Sluggard
cleane
contrarie
as
a
beast
that
is
past
all
feare
of
God
,
and
shame
of
the
world
,
resolueth
still
to
continue
in
his
olde
course
,
counting
all
but
a
little
.
When
Adam
and
Eue
sawe
their
nakednes
they
blushed
,
and
feared
,
and
ran
away
for
feare
,
thus
wrought
their
pride
and
disobedience
:
when
Caine
sawe
his
wickednes
,
hee
knew
not
what
to
doe
,
except
despayre
,
but
wished
it
vndone
againe
,
and
thus
did
murther
bestirre
himselfe
,
when
hee
was
awakened
:
when
Dauid
was
roused
for
his
adulterie
and
murther
,
he
said
that
he
had
offended
:
when
Paul
was
called
to
his
answer
for
persecuting
Christ
,
hee
fell
to
the
grounde
astonied
,
and
tooke
a
new
course
:
when
Peter
was
awakened
for
denying
his
Master
,
hee
went
out
and
wept
.
And
thus
wee
see
that
when
pride
and
disobedience
haue
been
called
,
they
haue
feared
the
iudge
,
and
when
murther
and
adulterie
were
called
,
they
feared
the
iudge
,
when
persecution
and
treason
were
called
,
they
feared
the
iudge
:
And
all
other
sinnes
being
roused
out
of
their
holes
,
haue
startled
at
the
call
,
seeking
either
how
to
yeelde
,
or
how
to
flie
.
And
being
conuicted
,
haue
all
cryed
like
the
prisoner
at
the
barre
,
O
my
Lord
be
good
vnto
me
now
,
and
I
will
neuer
do
the
like
againe
.
But
when
slouth
and
negligence
were
called
,
and
endited
by
the
name
of
careles
his
children
,
they
(
in
stead
of
submitting
themselues
to
the
mercie
of
the
iudge
,
)
stand
to
the
defense
of
their
faulte
,
and
like
beastes
both
careles
,
shameles
,
and
graceles
,
in
stead
of
saying
,
pardon
O
Lorde
that
which
is
past
,
and
wee
will
take
a
new
course
,
they
crye
out
to
the
wonder
of
all
the
world
,
and
the
vtter
shame
of
themselues
,
Yet
a
little
more
sleepe
,
and
a
little
slumber
,
&c.
We
haue
not
enough
yet
,
and
all
is
but
a
little
,
so
that
shamefull
was
pride
,
and
rebellion
,
and
murther
,
and
whoredome
,
and
persecution
,
and
treason
,
and
all
other
sinnes
,
but
shameles
is
the
Sluggard
,
and
passeth
them
all
in
wickednes
.
Here
then
wee
are
taught
to
make
a
reckoning
of
our
sluggishnes
:
and
it
argueth
that
we
count
all
too
little
,
to
giue
vnto
sinne
and
Sathan
:
as
though
they
were
two
such
deare
friendes
of
ours
,
that
wee
coulde
not
doe
too
much
for
them
.
And
the
diuell
on
the
other
side
who
hath
taken
vp
his
lodging
in
the
wicked
,
and
gotten
like
a
fawne
ghest
into
the
mindes
of
the
godly
,
hee
crieth
still
,
a
little
more
,
a
little
longer
,
and
though
we
haue
suffered
him
with
his
impes
to
lye
sleeping
in
our
Churches
,
in
our
common
wealths
,
and
in
our
shoppes
,
and
markets
,
in
our
houses
,
and
families
,
and
in
our
soules
almost
fortie
yeares
,
and
in
some
twise
fortie
yeares
:
yet
hee
hath
taught
vs
to
say
,
yet
a
little
,
and
a
little
,
and
still
he
must
haue
a
little
more
,
like
Achsah
in
15.
of
Ioshua
:
But
as
for
religion
,
and
things
pertaining
to
the
worship
and
seruice
of
God
:
as
the
knowledge
of
the
waies
of
God
,
and
the
graces
of
the
spirite
of
God
:
they
thinke
that
of
such
things
they
haue
enough
,
when
they
haue
nothing
,
like
the
luke-warme
Laodiceans
,
Achab
,
Get
thee
vp
,
eate
and
drinke
,
for
there
is
a
sound
of
much
raine
:
so
say
they
one
to
another
,
get
thee
vp
,
reade
and
studie
,
preach
and
praye
,
and
lose
no
time
,
for
there
is
a
sounde
of
much
trouble
:
and
all
their
feare
is
that
they
shall
be
stopped
and
stayed
by
the
waie
,
when
troubles
arise
,
as
Eliah
feared
least
he
and
Achab
should
bee
stayed
by
the
raine
.
They
can
scarcely
haue
any
rest
in
their
hearts
,
but
are
still
panting
with
Dauid
for
breath
,
Let
my
soule
li●●
&
it
shall
praise
thee
.
This
he
craued
,
because
he
had
not
praised
God
enough
.
And
vpon
this
Paul
discussed
this
question
in
his
heart
,
For
my selfe
(
sayth
hee
)
it
is
better
to
dye
:
but
for
〈◊〉
(
meaning
the
Church
)
it
is
better
that
I
liue
still
:
to
shewe
,
that
if
we
haue
any
desire
to
liue
longer
,
it
must
be
that
the
Church
of
God
may
bee
the
better
for
vs
:
for
the
godly
are
of
that
minde
that
they
cannot
doe
enough
for
the
good
of
the
Church
of
God
▪
They
are
like
Abraham
,
who
when
〈◊〉
began
to
speake
with
God
,
would
haue
still
one
question
more
:
And
like
the
Disciples
,
who
when
they
heard
Christ
commend
the
bread
of
life
,
Lord
euermore
giue
●s
of
this
bread
.
Now
if
this
be
the
affection
of
the
godlie
,
all
too
little
:
then
what
shal
we
say
to
the
wicked
,
which
count
all
too
much
that
is
giuen
to
God
?
like
I●das
that
grudged
at
the
cost
that
was
bestowed
vpon
Christ
,
counting
is
more
then
needed
.
But
this
was
because
I●das
had
the
bagge
and
was
a
theefe
to
Christ
:
and
so
the
wicked
haue
the
bags
,
and
would
fill
their
bags
with
the
spoyles
of
Christ
and
his
Church
.
They
say
,
they
haue
heard
a
sermon
once
in
a
yere
:
what
so
many
say
they
?
heare
one
and
follow
that
well
,
&c.
This
is
the
voyce
of
a
wicked
heart
,
that
knoweth
not
what
he
oweth
to
God
:
If
he
knewe
that
he
oweth
him
all
his
life
,
he
would
not
speake
in
that
sort
.
Concerning
the
things
of
the
world
,
they
play
the
Horseleach
that
lye
sucking
still
,
and
neuer
cryeth
ho.
And
they
are
of
Achabs
humor
,
when
he
had
a
kingdome
,
yet
he
wanted
a
vineyard
,
and
a
little
was
still
wanting
.
So
wordling
professors
of
the
Gospell
,
when
they
haue
much
,
and
that
which
they
desired
,
yet
they
must
haue
a
little
more
,
another
house
,
or
another
lease
,
or
another
Benefice
:
but
as
for
the
Lords
part
he
shal
haue
the
offall
,
or
refuse
of
their
crooked
old
age
,
when
they
can
serue
the
diuell
no
longer
:
but
then
the
Lord
will
none
,
except
he
giue
them
great
repentance
.
Therefore
,
seeing
as
the
Lord
is
the
beginner
,
and
continuer
,
and
ender
of
our
life
:
let
vs
offer
him
al
for
a
sacrifice
,
and
yet
say
,
we
are
●nprofitable
seruants
,
and
haue
done
but
〈◊〉
duetie
.
Againe
,
here
we
are
to
note
further
the
cunning
of
the
diuell
:
for
he
bringeth
men
by
degrees
to
the
top
of
sinne
:
yet
a
little
,
and
a
little
,
sayth
he
,
and
al
is
but
a
little
:
yet
al
these
littles
being
layd
together
make
a
great
deale
.
And
as
a
couetous
man
gathereth
his
fart●ings
and
his
halfepenies
together
,
till
they
come
to
a
pound
,
and
so
becommeth
rich
in
the
world
:
so
the
diuell
teacheth
the
wicked
,
to
gathe●
now
a
little
and
then
a
little
,
till
at
last
they
become
rich
in
sinne
,
but
bankerout
in
the
grace
of
God
:
for
there
is
neuer
a
sinne
that
is
let
in
to
the
soule
,
but
it
lette●n
out
many
graces
of
Gods
spirit
.
It
is
no
dallying
with
the
Lord
:
for
in
Rom.
2.
5.
the
Apostle
sayth
,
They
that
abuse
the
long
suffering
of
God
,
doe
in
the
hardnes
of
their
heart
heape
vp
vnto
themselues
wrath
against
the
day
of
wrath
.
Therefore
let
vs
take
heede
of
this
little
:
for
by
little
and
little
the
diuell
creepeth
vpon
vs
.
The
wicked
goe
scoffing
at
the
children
of
God
:
oh
there
goe
Puritanes
,
and
Precisians
,
&c.
And
,
what
?
are
you
so
precise
?
Why
?
this
is
but
a
little
oth
,
a
littl●
meriment
,
a
little
of
the
fashion
,
&
a
little
must
bee
borne
withall
,
and
still
they
goe
on
powring
out
themselues
to
all
kinde
of
wickednes
,
till
they
bee
so
drunken
with
sinne
,
that
they
knowe
not
what
they
doe
,
nor
where
they
bee
.
The
diuell
playeth
the
labourer
that
riueth
wood
,
who
hauing
a
great
peece
to
cleaue
,
hath
also
diuers
wedges
for
the
purpose
,
and
euery
one
bigger
than
another
,
and
entreth
with
the
least
first
,
and
that
maketh
way
for
a
bigger
,
and
that
againe
for
the
biggest
of
all
,
and
so
by
little
and
little
the
great
tree
is
split
in
many
small
peeces
,
and
made
fit
for
the
fire
.
So
〈◊〉
Sathan
purposeth
to
make
a
spoyle
of
the
graces
of
God
in
the
soule
,
he
hath
diuers
deuises
for
the
purpose
,
and
euery
one
of
them
differing
from
another
:
for
the
lier
he
hath
a
packe
●●ll
of
lyes
:
for
the
swearer
he
hath
a
packe
full
of
others
:
and
for
the
scoffer
he
hath
a
packe
full
of
frumpes
and
floutes
:
and
so
for
others
:
but
he
will
enter
with
a
little
one
in
shew
,
as
first
to
teach
men
to
sweare
by
their
faith
and
troth
,
or
by
cock
and
pie
,
or
by
some
other
counterfeit
o●●e
,
and
tels
them
that
it
is
nothing
:
and
after
,
by
little
and
little
,
when
it
is
growne
into
a
custome
with
them
,
they
come
euen
to
blaspheme
the
most
holie
name
of
God
,
like
diuels
incarnate
,
not
being
able
to
leaue
it
though
they
would
.
So
doth
〈◊〉
draw
〈◊〉
to
adulterie
,
and
so
to
m●●ther
,
and
to
●o
drunkennes
,
by
〈◊〉
and
a
little
:
first
,
by
circumstances
a
farre
off
,
as
of
dalliance
,
and
●●sting
,
&
quarrelling
,
and
carowsing
,
and
at
last
they
grow
to
the
very
substance
of
the
matt●●
.
And
so
by
little
and
little
doth
he
drawe
〈◊〉
quite
from
hearing
of
the
word
,
to
schisme
,
&
Apostasie
:
first
,
he
breedeth
in
them
a
misliking
of
the
preacher
,
for
his
plainnes
,
〈…〉
roughnes
,
or
his
tediousnes
,
or
his
li●●
,
or
one
thing
or
other
,
and
then
there
is
way
made
〈◊〉
a
loathing
of
the
doctrine
,
and
at
last
they
fall
quite
away
from
that
sinceritie
which
they
professed
at
the
first
,
especially
by
meanes
of
such
companie
as
the
diuell
can
fit
them
withall
for
the
purpose
.
And
if
one
sinne
creep●●●
into
our
conscience
,
it
wil
not
leaue
till
it
hath
made
a
hole
for
the
entring
,
and
a
place
for
the
lodging
of
horrible
and
outragious
sinnes
.
Then
let
vs
say
,
that
is
great
,
which
●hey
call
little
,
and
aggrauate
our
●innes
now
,
a●d
condemne
them
now
,
that
they
bee
not
made
great
,
and
condemned
of
the
Lord
at
the
last
day
.
The
diuell
is
contented
with
a
little
,
and
a
little
will
please
him
:
he
will
(
if
he
can
)
bring
thee
to
all
sinne
:
but
when
he
cannot
doe
so
,
he
〈◊〉
play
at
small
game
rather
then
sit
our
▪
As
if
thou
be
a
Protestant
,
and
traua●●est
beyond
the
seas
amongst
Idolators
and
Massemongers
,
i●
is
sufficient
for
him
if
thou
doe
but
salute
the
crosse
as
it
is
carried
through
the
streetes
,
or
bow
the
knee
to
Baal
,
though
thou
doest
〈◊〉
them
in
thy
hart
.
So
,
if
thou
be
a
Papist
in
England
,
and
goe
to
Church
according
to
lawe
,
it
is
no
matter
,
so
thy
heart
be
at
Rome
,
and
thou
keep
thy
conscience
to
thy selfe
,
that
s
enough
for
the
diuell
,
and
pleaseth
him
very
well
:
for
by
the
outward
gesture
of
the
one
,
and
by
the
inwarde
affection
of
the
other
,
he
doth
(
as
it
were
by
the
ring
of
the
doore
)
take
possession
of
the
whole
house
,
knowing
that
if
hee
hath
the
bodie
,
the
soule
will
come
too
:
for
God
will
haue
all
or
els
none
.
Worldly
men
will
say
now
adaies
,
If
they
bee
not
notorious
offenders
,
they
are
not
Sathans
prisoners
:
which
is
all
one
,
as
if
a
malefactor
,
being
fastened
with
a
chaine
but
by
the
foote
to
a
poste
in
the
street
,
should
bragge
that
he
is
not
the
Iaylors
priso●er
,
because
all
his
bodie
is
at
libertie
sauing
his
foote
.
Alas
poore
soules
,
how
wise
wee
are
to
deceiue
our
owne
soules
.
Though
we
can
see
nothing
but
great
beames
,
yet
that
is
not
the
way
to
bee
discharged
.
The
Papists
can
see
none
but
7.
deadly
sinnes
that
will
hurt
them
:
but
Dauid
prayeth
both
against
presumptuous
sinnes
,
The
Papists
haue
a
question
which
cannot
be
answered
,
as
they
thinke
:
Shew
vs
the
time
(
say
they
)
when
Poperie
came
in
,
and
when
we
sell
away
,
if
wee
bee
fallen
from
the
trueth
.
Alas
poore
soules
,
they
are
not
acquainted
with
the
custome
of
Sathan
:
for
he
commeth
in
by
little
and
little
.
If
then
a
Papist
would
know
how
Papistrie
came
in
,
I
will
say
by
〈◊〉
custome
of
the
diuell
▪
by
little
and
little
:
for
th●
diuell
will
not
get
all
at
once
.
The
Apost●●
Paul
sayth
,
But
alas
there
be
some
too
venturous
,
which
thinke
it
no
masterie
to
offer
themselues
to
ma●king
,
and
minstrelsie
,
and
dauncing
,
and
wanton
companie
,
nor
to
runne
into
quarrels
,
and
brawles
,
and
contentions
,
as
though
they
had
their
ear●s
,
and
their
eyes
,
and
their
hands
at
command●ment
:
But
Gods
children
are
afrayd
of
these
occasions
,
as
knowing
that
their
eyes
may
bee
p●ouoked
to
lust
,
their
eares
may
quickly
listen●
to
vnchast
delights
,
and
their
handes
may
sodainly
strike
a
deadly
blo●●●
&c.
Therefore
both
men
and
women
are
〈◊〉
beware
howe
they
venture
vpon
such
small
occasions
,
for
though
thou
meanest
no
su●●
matter
,
yet
for
thy
venturing
without
warr●●●
thou
mayest
be
ouer
thy
shoes
before
thou
b●
aware
.
And
yet
because
vice
is
so
neare
vnto
vertue
,
wee
must
also
beware
of
superstition
,
fo●
the
enemie
still
laboureth
either
to
make
〈◊〉
too
hardie
and
venturous
,
or
else
to
feare
it
to●
superstitiously
.
And
to
these
temptations
our
nature
is
very
pliable
.
First
to
presumption
,
and
ouer
much
hardines
,
as
may
appear●hy
our
common
speech
.
Tush
the
preacher
i●
but
a
man
as
I
am
,
hee
hath
his
infirmities
as
well
as
others
:
we
are
no
Angels
,
our
nature
is
corrupt
,
we
are
but
men
,
and
I
am
sure
you
will
not
make
vs
Gods
,
a
little
is
not
so
much
,
and
if
God
were
so
hard
as
you
would
make
him
,
that
were
hard
indeede
,
&c.
Thus
Satha●
commeth
to
tempt
men
vnto
presumption
:
but
when
hee
would
driue
men
to
despayre
▪
then
he
apparelleth
himselfe
in
another
sute
,
and
then
of
a
flie
he
maketh
an
Elephant
,
and
of
a
moate
a
mountaine
.
If
hee
cannot
bring
men
to
make
conscience
where
they
should
▪
he
will
labour
to
bring
them
to
make
conscience
where
they
should
not
.
As
wee
see
the●
maner
of
manie
is
either
to
be
profane
in
thei●
mirth
,
or
to
allow
no
mirth
at
all
,
either
too
gawish
&
new●angled
in
their
attire
,
or
to
allow
no
ornament
at
all
,
and
so
in
many
things
●ce
:
he
careth
not
,
whether
thou
be
remisse
,
or
superstitious
,
so
thou
bee
one
.
Gods
children
therefore
must
labour
for
a
measure
,
and
that
must
bee
sought
for
in
the
worde
,
which
will
guide
them
in
the
narrow
way
:
shewing
●●eu●ry
thing
what
is
the
vertue
,
and
what
is
the
vice
;
what
is
the
meane
,
and
what
is
the
extreame
on
either
hand
.
In
these
extremi●ies
,
if
any
man
hath
beene
ouertaken
by
little
,
and
a
little
,
(
as
who
hath
not
)
let
him
imagine
himselfe
to
be
sicke
,
either
of
a
spirituall
consumption
,
or
a
spirituall
burning
fe●er
:
and
let
him
from
henceforth
keepe
that
diet
which
is
prescribed
vnto
him
in
the
word
,
and
carefully
abstaine
from
such
occasions
hereafter
:
and
by
the
grace
of
God
he
shall
redouer
himselfe
againe
,
though
not
by
and
by
,
but
by
little
and
little
,
like
the
man
that
hath
been
very
sicke
,
who
first
feeleth
a
stomacke
to
meate
,
and
then
hath
some
tast
of
his
meat●
which
before
was
vnsauorie
vnto
him
:
and
then
he
beginneth
to
sit
vp
in
his
bed
,
then
to
rise
out
of
his
bed
,
and
then
to
walke
in
his
chamber
:
and
after
that
abroad
by
a
staffe
,
and
by
little
and
little
,
(
through
the
blessing
of
God
)
commeth
to
his
full
strength
againe
.
Neither
let
any
willing
mind
be
discouraged
,
by
the
hardnes
of
his
hart
,
which
he
now
feel●th
wrought
by
the
custome
of
Sathan
:
but
let
him
plie
the
meanes
appointed
by
God
and
he
shall
see
,
that
as
the
water
droppeth
〈◊〉
the
flint
vntill
it
be
worne
hollowe
,
so
the
w●●ter
of
Gods
grace
shall
be
still
dropping
vpo●
thy
hard
hart
,
vntill
thou
be
recouered
.
And
thus
wee
haue
seene
the
custome
of
Sathan
,
and
how
it
may
be
broken
.
Another
note
is
this
:
That
the
wicked
doe
still
extenuate
,
and
lessen
their
sinnes
,
crying
:
Yet
a
little
,
and
it
is
but
a
little
:
but
the
children
of
God
do
say
their
sinnes
are
great
,
and
cannot
aggrauate
them
enough
.
And
this
is
their
griefe
,
that
they
cannot
lay
out
their
sins
enough
:
Hee
that
breaketh
the
least
of
Gods
Commandements
,
and
teacheth
men
so
to
doe
;
shall
bee
the
least
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
:
that
is
,
he
shall
haue
no
place
at
all
there
:
for
Christ
speaketh
of
it
,
but
according
to
that
opinion
▪
which
men
had
of
it
.
Thus
haue
wee
spied
the
diuels
craft
in
minsing
of
sinne
,
now
let
vs
learne
to
make
some
vse
of
it
.
The
Magistrate
may
learne
hereby
to
take
heede
,
that
he
yeeld
not
so
much
as
a
little
to
the
wicked
,
because
they
watch
at
an
inch
for
the
least
aduantage
that
can
bee
:
like
the
seruants
of
Benhadad
King
of
Aram
,
when
they
were
parling
with
Achab
the
King
of
Isra●ll
about
their
master
:
of
whome
it
is
said
in
the
holy
historie
,
that
they
tooke
diligent
heede
,
if
they
could
catch
any
thing
of
him
:
&
when
they
heard
Achab
but
call
their
master
his
brother
,
they
made
hast
,
and
said
thy
brother
Benhadad
:
to
shewe
how
the
Magistrate
is
watched
:
&
if
the
wicked
perceiue
any
coldnes
,
or
fearefulnes
,
or
negligence
in
him
,
or
heare
but
a
word
of
comfort
from
his
mouth
that
makes
for
them
,
they
worke
vpon
that
,
like
the
stream
against
a
bancke
,
if
there
be
but
a
little
hole
made
through
it
.
Hereby
the
Minister
also
is
taught
to
take
heed
how
he
straineth
his
conscience
against
the
trueth
in
any
thing
,
though
neuer
so
small
,
lest
in
time
hee
swallow
downe
camels
,
as
some
doe
steeples
,
and
make
shipwracke
of
all
:
like
Demas
,
and
Hermogenes
,
with
their
fellowe
Phygellus
,
of
whom
Paul
speaketh
:
and
like
Diotrephes
,
against
whom
Saint
Iohn
giu●th
euidence
.
It
is
the
policie
of
the
world
to
lay
baits
and
snares
for
the
Ministers
of
Christ
:
it
must
bee
therefore
their
wisedome
to
hould
out
the
world
at
the
swords
point
.
For
couetousnes
is
like
aquaf●rtis
vpon
steele
,
and
if
it
take
the
hart
once
,
it
will
not
leaue
till
it
hath
eaten
out
the
spirit
of
GOD
there
,
and
all
goodnes
there
.
And
therefore
the
Apostle
doothe
well
call
it
the
roote
of
all
euill
:
for
so
it
is
,
for
wheresoeuer
it
taketh
roote
,
it
rooteth
out
all
goodnes
,
causing
to
erre
from
the
faith
&
pearceth
the
●oule
through
with
many
sorrowes
:
so
doth
she
reward
her
master
for
giuing
her
lodging
,
like
the
viper
that
eateth
out
her
mothers
bellie
,
and
so
getteth
his
owne
being
with
the
destruction
of
another
.
Here
also
may
parents
learne
not
to
feede
their
childrens
humours
too
much
,
nor
to
suffer
them
ouer
long
,
as
the
manner
of
many
is
to
doe
,
nor
to
inure
them
to
such
wantonnes
,
nicenes
,
and
pride
,
as
we
see
in
many
:
for
they
will
grow
to
such
things
fast
enough
without
teaching
:
and
by
little
and
little
it
may
turne
them
to
shame
,
and
their
parents
to
smart
and
griefe
,
as
too
wofull
experience
dooth
daily
teach
.
As
Absalom
being
suffered
a
little
,
first
killed
his
brother
Amnon
:
then
abused
his
fathers
concubines
:
then
stole
a
way
the
hearts
of
his
fathers
subiects
,
and
at
last
rose
vp
in
armes
,
and
droue
his
father
out
of
his
owne
kingdome
:
and
this
came
by
little
and
little
.
And
if
the
twigge
bee
suffered
to
grow
crooked
,
it
will
be
crooked
when
it
is
come
to
bea
●●ee
,
and
then
it
will
sooner
bee
broken
then
●owed
.
To
some
parents
and
masters
it
is
a
pastime
to
see
their
children
and
seruants
runne
colting
about
the
streetes
with
open
mouth
,
like
a
kennell
of
hounds
:
but
to
the
godly
and
wise
it
is
both
a
griefe
,
and
a
shame
,
because
they
know
that
by
little
and
a
little
,
they
may
proue
impudent
,
and
shameles
,
and
theeues
,
and
harlots
:
for
then
doe
such
seede
take
deepest
rooting
.
Hence
may
worldlings
also
take
warning
,
and
learne
to
come
to
the
word
preached
when
they
are
called
,
least
if
they
listen
but
a
little
vnto
the
enchantments
of
worldly
commoditie
,
they
fall
quite
away
:
like
the
vnworthie
guests
in
the
Gospell
,
who
trifled
away
the
time
so
long
with
excuses
,
that
at
length
they
were
quite
excluded
.
And
in
the
hearing
of
the
word
,
take
we
heede
how
wee
heare
:
for
then
by
little
and
by
little
the
diuell
will
robbe
vs
of
al
,
or
fill
our
heads
with
so
many
toyes
and
by-matters
,
that
we
shall
bee
neuer
the
better
,
but
the
worse
.
And
lastly
,
he●
let
all
Christians
learne
not
to
feede
vpon
v●
kindnesses
,
least
by
little
and
little
it
grow
to
●
mortall
hatred
,
and
an
vtter
mislike
one
of
〈◊〉
other
,
without
any
likelihood
of
sound
reconciliation
for
euer
.
And
this
that
teacheth
some
,
may
teach
all
to
beware
of
the
diuels
dangerous
custome
.
But
whosoeuer
taketh
warning
the
Sluggard
will
take
none
:
for
he
crieth
still
,
Yet
a
little
sleepe
,
a
little
slumber
,
and
a
little
folding
of
the
hands
to
sleepe
:
therefore
now
let
him
hearken
vnto
his
iudgement
.
The
Sluggards
iudgment
.
The
seuenth
Sermon
.
11
Therefore
thy
pouertie
commeth
as
one
that
tra●●●leth
by
the
way
▪
and
thy
necessitie
like
an
armed
man
.
HEre
is
now
the
Sluggards
iudgement
,
and
the
fruite
of
idlenes
,
and
negligence
.
The
wicked
man
(
sayth
Dauid
)
trauelleth
of
mischiefe
,
and
bringeth
forth
a
lye
.
And
the
Sluggard
(
sayth
Salomon
)
trauelleth
of
idlenes
,
&
bringeth
forth
pouertie
,
and
necessitie
:
two
twinnes
borne
both
at
a
burden
,
but
such
ill
fauoured
ones
,
that
euery
one
is
out
of
loue
with
them
so
soone
as
they
are
borne
.
A
poore
,
and
a
ne●die
birth
,
without
beautie
,
or
comelines
,
o●
shape
,
or
strength
,
or
any
thing
to
liue
vpon
o●
his
owne
.
And
surely
a
fit
birth
for
the
Sluggard
to
begge
withall
.
The
sluggard
and
the
sluggards
birth
,
are
faine
to
liue
vpon
other
mens
labours
,
and
yet
are
still
poore
,
and
necdie
:
like
Pharaohs
seuen
leane
kine
which
●●uoured
seuen
fat
kine
,
and
yet
were
leane
:
now
that
was
but
a
dreame
,
but
this
is
a
trueth
.
And
no
●●●uaile
:
for
it
is
iust
and
〈…〉
which
will
not
sowe
in
sommer
,
for
feare
of
a
shower
,
should
beg
in
winter
when
showers
doe
fall
.
And
he
that
will
not
worke
when
he
may
,
and
is
able
,
must
bee
put
from
his
meate
when
he
would
eate
.
Therefore
thy
pouertie
commeth
,
&c.
As
if
he
should
say
,
thou
art
the
cause
of
thy
owne
pouertie
thy selfe
,
which
is
more
then
the
sluggard
would
willingly
confesse
.
For
by
nature
we
would
be
rich
,
and
idle
too
:
and
when
〈◊〉
are
most
dissolute
and
careles
,
yet
then
〈◊〉
looke
to
bee
relieued
aswell
as
if
they
had
●●uer
been
the
cause
of
their
owne
pouertie
:
〈◊〉
prophane
reprobates
,
which
looke
to
come
to
heauen
aswell
as
any
bodie
,
and
yet
care
not
for
the
ordinarie
meanes
which
God
hath
appoynted
to
bring
men
thither
by
.
By
this
then
wee
may
see
what
a
hard
matter
it
is
for
flesh
and
bloud
to
see
what
is
the
crue
cause
of
Gods
hand
vpon
men
,
especia●●●
when
the
fault
is
in
our selues
:
for
selfe-loue
is
blinde
.
And
though
we
bee-plagued
through
our
owne
default
,
yet
commonly
we
think
not
so
:
but
wee
make
that
the
cause
which
is
not
the
cause
:
sometime
most
wickedly
accusing
the
Lord
of
harde
dealing
against
vs
,
who
is
most
iust
in
all
his
waies
,
and
holie
in
all
his
workes
:
sometime
crying
out
vpon
the
hardnes
of
the
weather
,
and
vnseasonablenes
of
the
yeare
:
sometimes
condemming
others
for
wā●
of
charitie
,
and
compassion
,
as
is
to
bee
seene
when
any
dearth
,
or
scarcitio
commeth
vpon
vs
:
sometime
with
one
thing
,
and
sometime
with
another
:
but
as
for
our selues
we
can
neuer
intende
it
,
to
search
out
the
cause
there
:
but
still
put
it
off
from
our selues
,
though
indeede
our
owne
sinnes
haue
moued
the
Lord
to
deale
in
this
and
that
sort
against
vs
.
Wherein
we
shew
our selues
to
be
the
right
children
of
Adam
〈◊〉
:
for
so
playd
they
when
the
Lord
came
to
examine
them
about
the
eating
of
the
fo●bidden
fruite
:
Adam
layeth
his
fault
vpon
his
wife
,
Againe
,
wee
are
to
note
that
God
doth
not
say
●●●plie
[
pouertie
shall
come
vpon
thee
]
but
he
sayth
,
[
Thy
pouertie
]
teaching
vs
thereby
to
distinguish
of
pouertie
,
and
the
causes
thereof
:
for
sometimes
good
men
are
in
pouertie
,
aswell
as
bad
:
Christ
was
poore
in
the
world
,
bu●
his
pouertie
was
to
make
vs
rich
:
Iob
was
striken
with
pouertie
,
&
yet
a
good
man
,
fearing
God
,
and
painfull
to
doe
any
good
that
he
could
to
all
men
:
but
his
pouertie
was
sent
him
to
make
tri●ll
of
his
patience
,
and
to
set
forth
the
riches
of
Gods
spirit
in
him
,
which
els
could
not
haue
so
well
appeared
.
Lazarus
was
poore
,
but
his
pouertie
was
to
trie
the
rich
mans
charitie
withall
,
and
to
make
the
hard
hear●●dnes
of
rich
gluttons
to
appeare
.
And
as
the
blind●
m●n
in
the
Gospell
,
was
made
blinde
,
First
,
how
many
kinds
of
pouertie
there
be
.
Secondly
,
what
be
the
true
causes
of
the
sa●●
.
Of
pouertie
then
we
will
make
two
〈◊〉
,
according
to
the
parts
of
man
consisting
of
body
and
soule
,
as
by
the
same
rule
wee
〈◊〉
both
the
Sluggard
temporall
,
and
the
Sluggard
spirituall
:
So
that
there
is
the
〈◊〉
of
the
bodie
,
and
the
pouertie
of
the
soul●
:
●●dily
pouerty
is
bodily
want
,
and
that
is
when
a
man
wanteth
such
necessaries
as
belong
to
this
life
,
as
health
,
and
food
,
and
apparel●
,
and
money
,
and
lodging
,
and
houshould
〈◊〉
,
and
sufficient
to
pay
euery
man
his
〈◊〉
.
And
of
this
bodily
pouertie
there
bee
also
two
kinds
:
some
belonging
to
the
godly
;
and
some
to
the
wicked
,
for
both
good
and
bad
haue
oftentimes
their
part
in
these
wantes
.
So
that
good
men
,
and
honest
men
may
〈◊〉
poore
,
and
yet
good
and
honest
still
:
for
goodnes
and
hone●tie
goeth
not
by
riches
,
for
oftentimes
worldly
riches
are
meanes
to
the
wicked
to
make
them
worse
and
〈◊〉
,
hauing
wealth
to
corrupt
themselues
and
others
,
authoritie
to
doe
violence
,
and
health
makes
them
lustie
to
doe
mischiefe
.
Neither
doe
dishonestie
and
wickednes
alwaies
go●
by
pouertie
and
want
,
though
these
thinges
be
counted
the
onely
euils
of
this
life
:
yet
we
see
sometime
they
are
meanes
to
good
men
to
make
them
better
,
as
pouertie
to
bridle
lust
,
basenes
to
humble
them
,
and
incumbrances
to
driue
them
to
God
,
and
to
teach
them
to
succour
others
:
by
which
we
may
see
that
the
pouertie
of
La●arus
is
better
then
the
riches
of
Diues
:
The
sickenes
of
a
wise
man
,
with
his
wisedome
,
is
better
then
the
health
of
a
foole
with
his
follie
.
And
what
goods
soeuer
a
man
hath
,
he
cannot
bee
a
good
man
so
long
as
hee
himselfe
is
euill
:
and
if
a
man
may
be
tearmed
a
good
man
for
hauing
riches
,
then
a
foole
may
bee
tearmed
a
wise
man
when
hee
hath
on
a
wise
mans
gowne
.
The
Scriptures
speake
much
in
the
commendation
of
godly
poore
men
,
and
preferreth
them
before
vngodly
rich
men
,
as
there
is
cause
:
ye
see
your
calling
Salomon
sayth
,
Better
is
the
poore
man
that
walketh
in
his
vprightnes
,
then
a
rich
man
that
peruerteth
his
w●●es
:
to
shewe
that
a
poore
man
may
bee
an
vpright
man
,
and
an
vpright
man
may
be
a
poore
man
,
and
yet
is
to
be
preferred
before
the
wicked
rich
man
.
And
in
an
other
place
hee
sayth
,
Better
is
a
poore
and
a
wise
child
,
then
an
old
&
a
foolish
King
which
wil●●●
more
be
admonished
:
to
shew
that
wisedome
and
lowlines
doe
not
alwaies
goe
by
yeares
and
riches
,
though
the
riches
of
a
king
,
and
that
some
mens
pouertie
is
more
blessed
,
then
some
mens
riches
:
and
as
the
poore
which
are
godly
,
are
more
blessed
then
the
vngodly
rich
:
so
are
they
in
more
account
with
the
Lord
,
and
alwaies
more
deare
vnto
him
.
And
therefore
hath
the
Lord
laid
downe
so
many
charges
in
his
worde
concerning
the
poore
,
which
are
as
so
many
letters
sent
vnto
the
rich
in
their
behalfe
.
Remoue
not
the
bounds
of
the
fatherles
,
for
he
that
is
more
mightie
will
surely
defend
them
.
And
againe
,
●ob
not
the
poore
,
because
they
are
poore
,
neither
oppresse
the
afflicted
in
i●dgement
,
for
the
Lord
will
,
&c.
To
shewe
that
the
poore
haue
as
good
frends
to
stand
by
them
,
as
the
rich
:
for
the
Lord
himselfe
doth
promise
to
take
their
part
,
especially
(
as
S.
Paul
saith
)
If
they
feare
God
,
&
be
of
the
houshold
of
faith
.
And
not
without
special
cause
in
his
singular
wisdome
hath
his
maiestie
so
ordained
,
that
there
shall
alwaies
be
some
poore
mingled
among
the
rich
in
this
life
,
&
one
reason
is
:
thereby
to
trie
the
rich
mens
charitie
,
as
appeareth
by
the
Lords
owne
testimonie
,
because
there
shall
be
euer
some
poore
in
the
land
,
therefore
I
command
thee
,
saying
:
Thou
shalt
open
thy
hand
vnto
thy
brother
,
to
thy
needie
,
and
to
thy
poore
in
thy
laude
:
calling
them
our
poore
,
and
our
needie
,
&c.
As
if
they
were
of
our
familie
and
charge
,
to
be
prouided
for
by
vs
.
And
to
this
doth
the
Son
of
God
,
the
Lord
Iesus
also
giue
witnes
:
The
poore
(
saith
he
)
you
shall
alwaies
haue
with
you
,
but
me
you
shall
not
haue
,
(
meaning
in
bodily
presence
)
and
looke
what
〈◊〉
would
doe
for
me
,
doe
it
for
them
:
to
shew
that
if
the
poore
were
wanting
,
the
rich
should
not
haue
whereupon
to
exercise
the
works
of
liberalitie
,
and
christian
compassion
.
Another
reason
why
there
are
poore
in
the
world
aswell
as
rich
,
is
,
that
by
such
a
difference
Gods
bountifull
liberalitie
might
appeare
to
the
rich
,
as
he
would
haue
the
liberalitie
of
the
rich
appeare
to
the
poore
.
God
could
haue
made
all
alike
,
and
enriched
all
alike
,
if
it
pleased
him
:
but
hee
sawe
this
inequalitie
to
bee
more
for
his
glorie
;
wherein
appeareth
so
many
singular
arguments
of
his
vnspeakable
wisdome
,
and
power
,
and
mercie
,
and
goodnes
towards
all
men
,
and
all
his
creatures
.
For
if
al
were
head
,
where
were
the
comelines
of
the
bodie
?
And
what
doth
shew
the
height
of
the
mountaine
but
the
valley
that
lieth
vnder
it
?
And
if
the
rich
consider
well
of
the
worke
of
God
in
this
poynt
,
they
shall
finde
great
cause
to
loue
the
poore
,
and
not
to
disdaine
them
.
We
see
how
proude
and
insolent
many
are
if
they
get
vp
a
gorgious
house
ouer
their
heads
,
or
a
veluet
coate
vpon
their
backes
,
or
a
golde
chaine
about
their
necks
:
and
as
for
their
poore
neighbours
,
they
count
them
but
as
peasants
and
slaues
in
respect
of
themselues
.
But
alas
poore
soules
,
what
is
it
that
setteth
out
the
brauerie
of
their
building
,
but
the
poore
cottage
that
standeth
by
it
?
And
in
what
estimation
would
their
veluets
and
silkes
bee
had
,
if
some
did
not
weare
frize
,
and
goe
plainly
apparelled
?
And
againe
,
if
none
were
vnlearned
,
then
who
would
reuerence
the
learned
?
or
what
account
would
there
be
of
Artes
and
Scicoces
,
if
the
knowledge
of
them
were
equallie
giuen
to
euery
one
?
And
where
doth
wisdome
shine
most
in
her
glorious
beautie
,
but
in
the
middest
of
fooles
?
Therefore
men
should
leaue
admiring
of
themselues
,
and
despising
of
others
which
come
short
of
them
,
whether
it
be
in
the
riches
of
the
bodie
,
or
in
the
riches
of
the
minde
,
and
learne
to
praise
the
wisedome
and
goodnes
of
the
giuer
and
disposer
of
them
,
and
in
all
humblenes
of
minde
vse
them
to
the
glorie
of
the
giuer
,
and
the
benefite
of
their
brethren
.
And
further
,
how
could
the
rich
liue
without
the
poore
and
baser
sort
of
people
,
whom
God
hath
made
their
seruants
to
supplie
their
wants
?
For
as
it
is
not
meete
the
ploughman
should
weare
the
Crowne
:
so
is
it
as
vnfit
for
the
King
to
holde
the
plough
.
And
therefore
as
in
the
bodie
naturall
God
placed
diuers
members
,
and
all
differing
one
from
an
other
,
that
one
might
be
seruiceable
to
an
other
:
so
in
the
bodie
politicall
he
hath
in
no
lesse
wisedome
made
diuers
degrees
&
estates
of
men
,
that
one
might
be
seruiceable
&
helpfull
vnto
another
.
And
thus
wee
see
that
for
diuers
causes
the
Lord
will
haue
the
poore
still
amongst
the
rich
,
and
that
good
men
haue
bin
in
pouertie
aswell
as
bad
:
and
yet
the
Lo●●●
hath
still
supplied
their
wants
,
and
not
〈◊〉
them
to
lacke
what
he
sawe
good
for
〈◊〉
neither
wil
he
,
but
wil
either
giue
them
bread
,
or
abate
their
hunger
,
or
giue
such
a
blesing
with
their
little
portion
,
that
it
shal
go
as
fa●●e
,
and
content
them
aswell
as
if
it
were
gre●●●
,
and
withall
makes
them
rich
in
the
heauenly
graces
of
his
spirite
,
wherein
many
very
〈◊〉
rich
men
of
the
world
are
both
bare
and
barren
.
As
there
be
good
poore
men
,
so
be
there
also
wicked
poore
men
,
which
are
become
poore
and
miserable
through
their
owne
negligence
,
and
slothfulnes
:
such
are
they
〈◊〉
Salomon
speaketh
vnto
in
my
text
.
And
to
such
persons
,
pouertie
is
both
a
reproch
of
men
,
and
a
iudgement
of
God
:
for
as
it
is
no
shame
to
suffer
,
but
to
suffer
for
euill
doing
:
so
it
is
no
shame
to
bee
poore
,
but
to
become
poore
through
our
owne
negligence
and
wilfulnes
.
Of
those
that
beare
the
burthen
of
pouertie
in
that
sort
there
be
some
in
the
Church
,
and
some
in
the
common
wealth
:
of
Church
men
that
bee
in
pouertie
,
some
are
of
the
popish
and
antichristian
Church
,
and
some
of
the
christian
Churches
.
In
the
popish
church
there
are
a
companie
of
idle
Monkes
and
〈◊〉
ers
,
and
hedge
priests
,
and
cloisterers
,
which
professe
wilfull
pouertie
,
making
the
worlds
beleeue
that
it
is
a
step
to
happines
,
and
a
degree
of
christian
perfection
,
and
if
that
be
●●ue
,
what
need
the
Sluggard
care
for
such
a
iudgement
?
Nay
then
it
is
no
iudgement
at
all
,
but
a
blessing
and
a
happines
:
and
so
by
that
reckoning
the
Sluggard
were
a
blessed
and
a
happie
man
,
and
the
Sluggards
life
were
the
onely
happy
life
that
could
bee
deuised
in
this
world
,
but
that
cannot
bee
;
for
here
wee
see
pouertie
and
necessitie
set
vpon
the
Sluggard
to
punish
him
for
his
slothfulnes
.
In
our
christian
Church
also
we
haue
seene
some
both
in
the
ministerie
and
otherwise
,
who
liued
in
good
estate
:
and
yet
afterward
through
their
couetousnes
and
ambition
haue
fallen
into
great
decay
:
for
when
they
were
not
content
with
that
which
was
conuenient
for
them
,
but
still
would
haue
more
:
it
hath
happened
oftentimes
to
them
as
it
did
to
the
dogge
,
that
hauing
a
piece
of
meate
in
his
mouth
,
would
snatch
at
the
shadowe
of
the
meate
in
the
water
,
and
so
when
he
thought
to
haue
both
,
hee
lost
both
.
In
the
scriptures
there
are
diuers
causes
of
pouertie
set
downe
,
and
pouertie
is
made
a
punishment
for
diuers
kindes
of
offenders
,
and
is
a
whip
for
the
backe
of
many
fooles
:
it
is
a
whippe
for
the
Sluggards
backe
,
that
in
time
will
whip
him
to
death
if
he
repent
not
,
for
Salomon
saith
,
The
disire
of
the
Sluggard
●layeth
him
▪
for
his
hands
refus●
to
wor●e
.
It
is
also
a
scourge
for
the
wasting
vnthri●t
,
and
prodigall
spender
,
There
is
that
scattereth
and
is
more
encreased
,
but
hee
that
speaketh
more
then
is
right
,
shall
surely
come
to
pouertie
.
The
liberall
person
(
sa●●h
he
)
shall
haue
plentie
,
and
he
that
watereth
shall
haue
raine
.
When
it
hath
punished
the
niggard
,
and
the
myser
,
it
shall
also
punish
the
●●uell
man
,
&
the
oppressour
:
for
it
is
set
down
by
Salomon
He
that
oppresseth
the
poore
to
enritch
himselfe
,
and
to
giue
to
the
rich
,
shall
surely
come
to
pouertie
.
And
the
Prophet
Esay
as
one
in
the
same
commission
confirmeth
the
sentence
,
and
goeth
a
little
further
and
faith
,
W●e
hee
to
thee
that
spoylest
and
wast
not
spoi●●
,
for
when
thou
shalt
cease
spoiling
of
others
,
th●●
shalt
he
spoiled
by
others
,
and
when
thou
hast
deals
wickedly
against
others
,
then
others
shall
deal●
wickedly
against
thee
.
The
trueth
whereof
i●
not
hard
to
bee
seene
in
some
that
haue
gotten
vp
by
prises
,
and
many
that
haue
liued
by
vsurie
,
brokerage
,
promooting
,
bribing
,
extorting
,
cousoning
,
and
such
like
meanes
.
As
it
punisheth
the
cruell
oppressour
,
so
will
it
also
punish
those
which
are
rash
and
prophane
in
their
affaires
:
as
Esau
,
The
thoughts
of
the
diligent
dee
surely
bring
abundance
,
but
who
soeuer
is
hastie
,
commeth
surely
to
pouertie
.
Which
is
also
verified
in
many
sureties
which
haue
in
a
vaineglorious
heate
,
passed
their
wordes
,
neither
regarding
for
whom
,
nor
for
what
,
and
after
warde
haue
repented
them
too
late
:
and
surely
this
is
a
point
not
vnfit
for
noble
men
,
and
great
gentlemen
to
consider
of
,
whome
God
hath
blessed
both
with
great
liuings
,
and
also
beautified
with
a
liberall
and
free
heart
,
lest
being
(
as
many
are
)
attended
vpon
and
haunted
by
hungrie
horse
leaches
,
and
fawning
parasites
,
they
impeach
their
estate
and
honour
before
they
bee
aware
.
As
it
punisheth
the
rash
and
headie
foole
,
so
doth
it
also
helpe
to
plague
fornicatours
and
adulterous
fooles
:
as
may
appeare
by
that
wofull
complaint
of
such
as
haue
beene
brought
into
the
fooles
paradise
by
the
alluring
ba●tes
of
harlots
.
And
therefore
Salomon
,
If
thou
wilt
not
obey
the
voice
of
the
Lord
thy
God
,
to
keepe
and
to
doe
all
his
commandements
,
and
his
or
〈◊〉
,
which
I
command
thee
this
day
,
The
hea●●●
shall
be
brasse
,
and
the
earth
iron
:
The
Lord
shall
giue
thee
for
the
raine
of
thy
land
,
dust
and
ashes
,
vntill
thou
be
destroyed
.
So
that
pouertie
and
necessitie
,
bee
like
a
common
gallowes
at
the
townes
end
,
which
hang
vp
both
theeues
,
and
murtherers
,
and
traytors
,
and
witches
,
and
all
that
are
brought
to
be
executed
.
Then
it
is
not
a
part
of
happines
,
nor
a
degree
of
perfection
as
papists
holde
,
but
a
verie
sore
iudgement
of
God
.
Here
is
now
the
Sluggards
pouertie
,
and
the
niggards
pouertie
,
and
the
vnthrifts
pouertie
,
and
the
hastie
mans
pouerty
,
&
the
whoremongers
pouertie
,
and
the
cruell
mans
pouertie
,
and
the
vngodly
mans
pouertie
,
and
pouertie
is
a
whippe
for
them
all
.
By
which
we
are
taught
not
to
blame
others
(
as
many
doe
)
if
they
bee
fallen
behinde
hand
,
but
let
euery
man
examine
himselfe
in
these
poyntes
:
and
if
thou
canst
cleere
thy selfe
of
one
,
suspect
thy selfe
in
another
,
and
trie
thy
heart
in
all
,
till
thou
hast
founde
out
the
cause
,
as
thou
wilt
trie
euery
keye
of
the
bunch
vntill
the
locke
bee
opened
.
And
saye
to
thy
soule
as
Dauid
saide
to
the
woman
of
Tekoah
,
who
came
to
the
King
about
Absalom
,
Is
not
the
hand
of
loab
in
all
this
?
So
is
not
the
hand
of
flouth
,
or
negligence
,
or
the
hand
of
crueltie
,
or
the
hand
of
incontinencie
,
or
of
niggardlines
,
or
of
rashnes
,
or
of
vngodlines
in
this
my
pouertie
?
And
this
may
suffice
for
the
pouertie
of
the
bodie
.
And
nowe
a
little
of
spirituall
pouertie
.
Where
of
the
Scriptures
speake
sometime
in
the
better
part
,
and
sometime
in
the
euill
part
:
in
the
better
part
it
is
attributed
to
the
children
of
God
to
their
great
commendation
,
and
as
a
speciall
ve●tue
,
and
grace
of
God
,
and
that
is
when
they
be
humble
&
lowlie
in
their
owne
eyes
,
and
thinke
poorely
and
basely
of
them
themselues
in
respect
of
others
.
And
this
is
that
●pirituall
po●ertie
which
our
Sauiour
〈◊〉
speaketh
of
,
and
calleth
it
blessed
po●●itie
,
in
Ma●th
.
5.
●
.
●hen
hee
saith
:
Blessed
〈◊〉
●oore
in
spirit
,
for
theirs
is
the
Kingdome
of
〈◊〉
:
To
shew
that
it
is
not
onely
a
blessed
,
but
a
rich
pouertie
,
because
the
kingdome
of
H●auen
doth
follow
it
.
And
this
is
a
grace
founde
●swell
in
Kings
and
great
rich
men
of
this
worlde
sometimes
,
as
in
the
pooret
〈◊〉
when
God
dooth
sanctifie
their
hearts
,
and
teach
them
to
knowe
themselues
:
such
a
one
was
Abraham
a
rich
〈◊〉
,
and
Iob
a
rich
man
and
Dauid
a
King
:
yet
were
they
poore
in
〈◊〉
rite
,
and
therefore
blessed
:
the
contrar●e
whe●of
is
found
in
those
that
are
wise
in
their
own
conceite
,
and
wedded
to
their
owne
wai●r
,
whatsoeuer
can
bee
said
to
the
contrarie
,
Sal
〈◊〉
saith
,
There
is
more
hope
of
a
foole
then
of
〈◊〉
Againe
to
bee
poore
in
spirite
is
sometime
taken
in
the
euill
parte
,
not
as
a
vertue
,
but
〈◊〉
fowle
vice
:
not
as
a
grace
but
as
a
disgrace●
and
that
is
when
men
a
bounde
in
their
owne
spirites
,
and
in
their
owne
iudgements
,
and
●●ing
altogether
carnall
,
and
〈◊〉
,
are
〈◊〉
of
the
spirite
of
God
,
and
barren
in
the
gr●t●●
of
the

spirite
,
abounding
in
pride
,
and
ba●re●
in
humilitie
,
abounding
in

,
and
barren
in
loue
,
abounding
in
ignorance
,
and
barren
in
knowledge
,
abounding
in
〈◊〉
●ie
,
but
barren
in
〈◊〉
,
and
so
i●
the
rest
and
yet
thinke
not
so
,
●
president
of
which
pouerti●
wee
haue
in
theminister
and
〈◊〉
of
Laodicea
,
to
whom
Christ
speaketh
in
〈◊〉
sorte
:
Thou
saiest
thou
are
rich
and
〈◊〉
with
goods
,
and
bast
needs
of
not
●ing
,
and
〈◊〉
est
not
that
thou
art
wr●●●●ed
,
and
〈◊〉
and
poore
,
and
blinde
,
and
naked
.
And
in
〈◊〉
do
the
soule
that
is
destitute
of
the
heauenly
〈◊〉
c●s
of
the
holy
ghost
,
is
a
poore
soule
,
although
he
iette
it
vp
and
downe
in
his
silkes
and
veluets
:
yea
and
in
cloth
of
golde
too
.
But
the
soule
that
hath
them
is
rich
indeede
,
though
otherwise
for
want
of
worldlie
necessaries
they
bee
constrained
to
lye
begging
in
the
streetes
.
Therefore
the
holy
ghost
doubteth
not
to
call

A
slotfull
〈◊〉
(
saith
the
holy
Ghost
)
maketh
poore
,
but
〈◊〉
hand
of
the
diligent
maketh
rich
:
So
a
slot
〈◊〉
eare
to
heare
,
and
a
slothfull
heart
to
bele●●●
maketh
poore
in
heauenly
things
:
but
the
eare
and
the
heart
of
the
diligent
maketh
rich
.
Some
say
they
haue
been
diligent
in
hearing
,
&c.
and
yet
are
poore
,
and
that
may
well
〈◊〉
for
it
is
not
our
diligence
,
but
the
blessing
of
God
that
maketh
rich
,
which
blessing
is
not
giuen
alwaies
at
the
first
,
but
is
promised
to
those
,
that
in
faith
and
patience
,
and
by
earnest
prayer
are
continuall
su
〈◊〉
and
seekers
for
the
same
,
Ye
lust
and
haue
not
,
ye
〈◊〉
others
,
yede
fire
〈◊〉
derately
,
〈◊〉
cannot
obtai●e
,
yee

and
●arr●
,
and
get
●●●hing
,
because
ye
aske
not
.
Ye
aske
and
receiue
not
,
because
ye
asks
amisse
,
that
you
might
laie
the
same
out
vpon
your
pleasures
.
So
in
seeking
for
heauenly
riches
,
many
〈◊〉
,
and
haue
not
,
and
no
bodie
doth
pitty
their
longing
,
because
they
are
not
with
child
traueling
,
Now
for
the
manner
of
this
iudgement
,
it
●●●ery
fearefull
,
for
it
is
saide
in
my
text
,
first
,
that
it
shall
come
vpon
him
as
one
that
trauai●●h
by
the
way
,
which
●eeteth
with
a
thee●e
on
a
sodaine
,
before
he
looked
for
his
comming
.
〈◊〉
hath
〈◊〉
out
with
●any
dealers
and
●●●upiers
in
the
world
,
who
for
want
of
diligence
,
and
carefull
circumspection
,
haue
gone
〈◊〉
still
,
as
if
they
were
on
a
iourney
,
and
so●●inely
haue
been
ouertaken
with
pouertie
,
and
set
vpon
by
necessitie
before
they
haue
〈◊〉
aware
,
and
where
as
they
were
taken
before
,
to
bee
in
very
good
case
,
it
hath
been
●ounde
,
that
when
euery
man
hath
taken
his
share
,
they
haue
been
left
very
poore
and
naked
.
And
so
shall
Gods
graces
waste
in
v
〈◊〉
one
after
another
,
if
we
suffer
them
to
di
〈◊〉
vs
for
want
of
renewing
,
and
continual
〈◊〉
payring
:
And
at
the
last
when
wee
think●●
haue
the
most
vse
of
them
,
our
faith
will
〈◊〉
gone
,
and
turned
into
infidelitie
;
our
rep●●●tance
shall
bee
turned
into
impenitencie
〈◊〉
hardnes
of
heart
,
our
zeale
will
be
blasted
,
〈◊〉
our
loue
wee
shall
finde
abated
,
and
also
〈◊〉ted
vp
,
as
if
all
the
hogges
in
the
tow●e
〈◊〉
been
in
our
garden
.
And
then
we
shall
〈◊〉
and
doe
nothing
but
weepe
for
them
,
as
〈◊〉chel
wept
for
her
children
,
and
shall
not
〈◊〉
comforted
because
they
are
not
,
nor
can●●●
be
had
or
else
we
shall
hardly
kno●
them
,
●
take
them
againe
,
nay
they
will
hardly
know●
vs
,
or
take
vs
againe
,
we
shall
be
so
altered
,
〈◊〉
if
wee
had
r●●ne
away
from
out
masters
,
〈◊〉
lien
long
abroade
in
ditches
,
or
as
though
w●●
had
been
newlie
taken
out
of
our
sti●ck●●
graues
.
And
lastly
,
as
this
execution
shal
be
so●●●●ly
serued
vpon
the
Sluggard
,
so
shall
it
〈◊〉
mightily
assisted
with
necessitie
,
which
shall
come
against
him
as
an
armed
man
:
so
〈◊〉
no
rescue
or
resistance
can
bee
made
.
And
〈◊〉
the
Sluggard
then
make
any
,
it
will
not
se●●●
his
turne
,
for
he
shall
be
so
ouer
matched
,
that
he
shall
not
be
able
to
recouer
himselfe
,
〈◊〉
new
supplie
of
strenght
and
grace
come
from
God
.
And
this
point
may
serue
notably
t●●
uerthrow
the
folly
of
Papists
,
and
secure
gospe●●ers
,
which
thinke
to
commaund
God
,
and
to
repent
when
they
list
,
or
beleeue
,
or
heare
,
or
worke
when
they
list
.
No
,
no
,
well
maiest
thou
striue
,
but
it
shall
bee
against
an
armed
man
,
and
thy selfe
naked
:
yea
thou
must
then
yeelde
and
confesle
thy
folly
in
spite
of
thy
teeth
.
For
his
pouertie
is
〈◊〉
like
one
that
trauaileth
by
the
way
,
and
his
〈◊〉
cessitie
is
set
vpon
him
like
an
armed
man
.
And
thus
haue
you
heard
the
Sluggardrowsed
.
If
●
hath
roused
any
of
vs
,
let
vs
thanke
God
for
it
if
it
hath
not
,
let
vs
pray
that
it
may
,
and
when
wee
are
gone
,
let
vs
take
heede
wee
fall
not
asleepe
againe
,
lest
a
worse
thing
happen
vnto
vs
.
