Now
will
I
sing
to
my
Beloued
,
the
Song
of
my
Beloued
,
concerning
his
Vineyard
.
The
first
Chapter
.
Of
the
Prophet
,
being
the
Actor
,
or
Singer
of
the
Song
.
THis
part
conteineth
a
Proeme
,
wherein
the
Prophet
Isayah
maketh
preparation
to
sing
the
Song
of
his
Beloued
.
But
before
that
we
speake
thereof
,
or
of
the
Song
,
it
is
meete
that
wee
consider
of
the
Prophet
himselfe
,
and
so
commence
and
begin
our
Oration
with
him
,
who
here
setteth
forth
himselfe
as
the
Actor
or
singer
of
the
Song
:
for
speaking
of
himselfe
,
he
sayth
,
I
will
sing
.
This
is
that
very
Prophet
,
after
The
kinred
and
name
of
the
Prophet
.
whom
the
whole
booke
of
this
prophesie
is
entituled
,
namely
,
Isayah
the
sonne
of
Amos
,
Isay
.
1.
1.
howbeit
,
not
of
that
Amos
which
is
named
and
numbred
among
the
twelue
lesser
Prophets
:
but
of
him
who
was
the
brother
of
Amasiah
or
Azariah
the
King
of
Iudah
:
for
in
this
,
as
the
best
learned
in
the
Church
do
consent
,
so
is
there
no
small
difference
in
the
name
:
for
the
Prophets
name
beginneth
with
the
hebrew
Y
,
as
Yamos
:
but
the
father
Y
Amos.
of
Isayah
his
name
beginneth
with
A
,
and
endeth
with
z
,
as
Amotz
.
By
this
it
appeareth
,
Amotz
.
that
Isayah
was
of
the
Royall
bloud
of
Iudah
,
the
which
by
this
his
function
,
hee
rather
beawtified
,
then
distained
With
this
well
agreeth
the
name
of
thi●
Prophet
,
for
Isayah
is
a
most
sweete
and
delectable
voice
,
and
noteth
health
good
newes
&
gladnes
,
and
it
is
asmuch
to
say
,
as
Iaschay-iah
,
that
is
,
the
health
,
or
saluation
Isayah
.
of
the
Lord
.
And
seeing
the
holy
Ghost
hath
exhibited
vnto
vs
this
Prophesie
vnder
that
delectable
title
,
let
vs
(
as
soone
as
we
either
heare
or
reade
the
same
)
promise
to
our selues
some
ioyfull
,
wholsome
,
and
happie
thing
therein
to
come
from
the
Lord
.
Neither
shall
we

deceiued
,
if
wee
deceiue
not
our selues
through
our
owne
infidelitie

fleshly

those
commonly
do

What
the
calling
and
office
of
The
calling
and
function
of
Isayah
Isayah
was
,
it
playnely
appeareth
in
the
●xt
Chapter
of
his
Prophesie
(
the
which
Chapter
after
the
iudgement
of
the
best
,
●hould
be
in
order
the
first
)
for
there●
is
conteyned
his
calling
,
and
the
be●nning
of
his
Prophesies
,
where
hee
●yeth
,
verse
1.
I
sawe
the
Lorde
sitting
●pon
an
high
Throane
.
And
there
hee
●yeth
,
that
hee
heard
the
Lorde
to
say
,
●hom
shall
I
send
?
and
who
shall
go
for
vs
?
Isayah
answered
(
after
that
his
lips
were
●uched
,
his
iniquitie
taken
away
,
and
his
sinnes
purged
)
Here
am
I
,
send
me
:
and
he
sayd
,
Go
,
and
say
vnto
this
people
,
ye
shall
heare
,
&c.
Lo
,
here
is
the
office
of
the
Prophet
,
his
calling
,
and
authoritie
.
He
is
called
by
the
Lord
,
and
made
his
Embassador
vnto
his
people
,
to
declare
vnto
them
his
word
and
iudgements
.
Thus
are
they
called
,
and
are
(
indeede
)
the
Prophets
of
the
most
high
God
,
which
are
not
instructed
,
taught
and
authorized
by
any
humane
arte
,
studie
,
industrie
,
o●
power
of
man
:
but
furnished
and
inabled
by
the
light
and
power
of
Gods
spirit
and
sent
forth
to
preach
the
holy
mysteries
of
God
,
to
reproue
sinnes
in
the
people
,
to
threaten
them
with
the
iudgement
of
God
,
that
be
rebellious
and
obstinate
and
to
preach
remission
of
sinnes
to
th●
repentant
.
And
this
is
a
thing
commo●
to
all
the
Prophets
.
3.
Further
,
because
it
pleased
th●
high
God
,
to
shew
himselfe
vnto
thi●
Isay
calleth
his
prophesies
visions
.
Prophet
(
according
as
his
capacitie
wa●
made
able
to
comprehend
)
and
fro●
thence
gaue
him
in
charge
what
to
do
(
in
like
sort
as
Kings
and
Princes
befor●
they
send
foorth
their
Embassadors
i●
matters
of
importance
,
do
call
them
into
●heir
presence
,
and
shew
plainely
,
and
deliuer
vnto
them
their
will
and
commis●ion
)
therefore
Isayah
calleth
his
prophesies
Visions
.
By
this
also
he
would
perswade
,
that
he
hath
brought
nothing
to
●he
people
,
but
that
which
he
had
perfectly
seene
reuealed
vnto
him
:
yea
,
things
certaine
and
heauenly
,
and
such
as
concerned
the
Maiestie
of
God
and
his
people
,
which
intimated
these
three
things
:
1.
First
,
that
as
his
authoritie
was
of
the
Lord
of
heauen
:
so
ought
they
to
whom
he
was
sent
,
to
reuerence
and
accept
the
same
.
2.
that
therefore
it
behoued
himselfe
to
walke
therein
honestly
,
wisely
,
●nd
worthely
.
3.
that
hauing
such
a
war●ant
,
and
behauing
himselfe
accordingly
,
●e
needed
not
to
feare
the
sterne
faces
of
men
.
4.
This
Prophet
beyond
all
others
,
Isay
was
an
Euangelical
Prophet
.
hath
preached
and
testified
most
plainely
●nd
significantly
of
the
Conception
,
the
●irth
,
the
life
,
the
death
,
the
resurrection
,
●he
Assension
,
the
rule
,
Dominion
,
Glo●ie
,
and
perpetuitie
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
and
of
that
glad
tidings
of
the
remission
of
sinnes
,
and
eternall
peace
in
the
Sonne
of
God
,
and
therefore
he
hath
bin●
worthely
called
,
not
only
a
Prophet
,
but
also
an
Euangelist
,
&
an
Euangelical
Prophet
.
5.
The
labours
of
the
Prophet
in
The
great
and
long
labours
of
the
Prophet
and
about
these
things
appeare
to
be
great
,
and
also
of
long
time
he
taught
and
instructed
the
people
with
all
wisedome
,
constancie
,
humanitie
,
vehemencie
,
as
the
cause
required
:
he
feared
not
to
reproue
the
corrupt
manners
,
not
only
of
th●
common
people
,
but
also
of
the
Priests
and
Princes
:
to
this
end
,
that
they
might
amend
their
liues
,
and
not
to
perish
in
their
vngodlinesse
without
warning
.
And
hee
amplifieth
his
Sermons
with
many
exquisite
and
pithie
words
,
according
to
that
which
Salomon
noteth
in
the
wise
Preacher
,
and
that
they
might
Eccles.
12.
not
forget
at
any
time
the
great
mercies
of
God
on
them
declared
in
his
manifold
benefits
,
he
often
vseth
these
and
such
other
like
words
in
the
Lords
behalfe
:
I
haue
nourished
and
brought
v●
children
:
I
haue
adopted
them
:
I
haue
brought
them
out
of
Egypt
:
I
haue
born●
them
in
my
bosome
:
I
haue
giuen
them
●
good
land
:
I
haue
made
them
victors
ouer
●heir
enemies
:
I
haue
prescribed
vnto
them
the
right
Gods
seruice
.
I
haue
formed
them
for
my selfe
.
I
haue
created
them
for
my
Glory
,
&c.
6.
And
thus
continued
he
busied
in
The
time
that
Isayah
prophesied

this
his
charge
,
aboue
threescore
and
fower
yeares
,
within

in

:
as
namely

,

,

,
and
Manasses
.
In

,
we
may
easily
vnderstand
the
state
and
condition
of
the
time
and
people
:
and
therein
how
comparable
to
this
time
&
people
we
may
likewise
consider
.
But
howsoeuer
the
people
declared
thēselue●
worthy
such
a
benefit
,
it
is
certain
that
the
Lord
expressed
his
loue
towards
them
in
this
,
that
he
vouchsafed
them
the
presence
&
painful
ministery
of
so
holy
a
Prophet
.
How
the
people
esteemed
of
the
Prophet
and
his
words
.
7.
But
all
this
they
nothing
considered
,
and
therfore
,
as
they
contemned
the
mercies
of
God
;
so
contemned
they
his
Prophets
:
and
notwithstanding
all
the
trauels
of
this
Euangelicall
Prophet
,
&
his
goodnes
towards
them
,
they
neuer
gaue
him
his
●ight
honor
among
them
,
but
despised
him
,
tooke
him
as
a
foole
,
and
made
him
their
iesting

,
whereof
he
was
moued
to
say

On
whom
haue
ye
iested
?
vpon
whom
haue
ye
gaped
,
and
thrust
out
your
tongues
?
His
words
also
they
compted
as
fables
,
and
of
no
credit
:
whereof
he
complained
,
Isa.
53.

Who
will
beleeue

?
And
(
indeede
)
vnto
this
impietie
were
the
people
come
in
this
time
,
notwithstanding
those
excellent
meanes
they
had
to
be
well
taught
and
instructed
by
the
Prophets
.
Thereof
it

that
when
King
Hezekiah
in
this
time
sent
forth
his
posts
to
call
the
people
to
the
Lord
,
they
would
not
beleeue
,
but
laughed
the
messengers
to
scorne
,
and
mocked
them
.
And
indeede
this
is
that
the

find
,
and
this
is
the
common
reward
that
the
Ministers
of

Gospell
receiue

their
labours

accused

called
by
them
,
before

Manasses
,
for
an
heretike
and
a

of

people
:
whereupon
(
notwithstanding

was
of

vnto

he
could
neither

nor
be

The
manner
of
the
dealing
of
the
Prophet
with
the
people
:
viz.
Now
will
I
sing
,
verse
.
1.
HAuing
spoken
before
of
the
person
,
office
,
labours
,
and
reward
of
the
Prophet
,
it
is
meete
,
that
now
we
consider
the
manner
of
his
dealing
with
The
Prophet
considered
the
nature
of
the
people
and
of
the
time
.
the
people
in
this
place
,
and
in
this
time
.
Surely
,
the
Prophet
(
as
it
well
beseemed
hym
)
had
euer
a
due
consideration
both
of
the
nature
of
the
people
to
whome
he
spake
,
and
of
the
time
wherein
he
spake
,
and
(
according
to
the
same
)
he
behaued
,
vsed
,
and
ordred
himselfe
in
his
ministerie
.
This
,
as
we
find
,
was
likewise
obserued
of
Christ
Iesus
himselfe
,
of
Dauid
,
of
the
Apostles
of
our
Lord
,
and
the
holy
Martyrs
,
and
fathers
of
the
Church
.
2.
In
the
dealing
of
this
Prophet
w●
are
to
obserue
these
three
things
,
viz.
1.
the
affection
and
mind
of
the
Prophet
2.
his
veine
,
and
stile
in
speaking
.
3.
the
nature
and
kind
of
his
Oration
or
Sermon
.
The
first
whereof
is
noted
in
1
The
motion
of
his
mind
.
Quaeso
.
Nunc.
this
particle
,
Na
,
or
Ana
,
which
signifieth
the
motion
of
the
mind
:
by
the
which
a
man
sheweth
the
desire
of
his
heart
towards
his
superiour
,
to
perswade
or
intreate
,
or
encline
him
,
to
yeeld
or
harken
to
his
words
:
and
is
interpreted
,
Now
forsooth
,
or
now
I
pray
you
,
or
earnestly
beseech
you
.
By
this
therefore
,
the
Prophet
expresseth
his
able
mind
,
and
the
submissiuenesse
of
his
heart
,
with
the
earnest
desire
His
humble
submission
and
courtesie
.
he
had
by
all
wayes
and
meanes
to

He
now
behaueth
himselfe
,
not
as
a
man
of
the
Royall
bloud
,
not
as
a
Prince
,
neither
as
Pope
,
or
as
an

Prelate
:
but
,
as
a
●ruant
to
his
Maister
,
as
a
subiect
to
his

,
as
an
inferiour
man
to
his

,
saying
in

I

I

Thus
he
assayed
by

,

,
and
humble
desires
,
to
get
au●ience
,
and
to
allure
the
people
to
accept

his
words
.

Neither
thought
he
,
it
was
meete
or
him
to
deale
otherwise
with
them
in
His
discree●
dealing
.
●his
time
,
when
men
being
fat
and
full
●ith
prosperitie
,
were
become
more
like
Tygars
,
Lyons
,
Buls
,
Beares

Wolues
,

like
Sheepe

:
and
there●ore
,
as
men
that
vse
such
coloured
garments
,
words
and
gentle
meanes
,
as
ra●her
allure
them
,
then
constraine
them
to
●ecome
gentle
:
so
was
it
the
best
way
for
●he
Prophet
to
do
and
behaue
himselfe
●owards
this
people
,
that
thereby
(
if
it
could
be
)
he
might
allure
and
perswade
●hem
with
gentlenesse
,
which
would
in
no
wise
abide
to
digest
sharp
and
rough
dealing
.
Now
therefore
I
beseech
you
with
all
courtesie
,
and
gently
pray
you
(
my
maisters
,
my
Lords
,
my

that
y●
will
vouchsafe
to

The

with

And
thus
Paule

Now
I

In

A

who

Neither
can
the

blush

be

(
if

The

The
cause
that
moued
the
Prophet
to
sing
:
First
,
to

to

this
veine
,
was
partly
to

him
hearers
:
partly
,
to
make

mo●
attentiue

his
words
:
partly
,
that
th●
things
which
he
deliuered
therein
,
shoul●
be
the
better
remembred
.
For
first
,
b●
this
extending
and
lifting
vp
of
the

(
beyond
his
accustomed
manner
)
he
dre●
the
people
to
flock
about
him
,
as
they

them
that
sing
in

.
Suc●
a
meane
vsed
he
to
get
audience
:
for
th●
longer
he
preached
among
them
,
th●
more
loathsome
he
was
vnto
them
:
an●
might
preach
and
teach
long
enough
(
●
some
of
our
Ministers
do
now
in
the●
Churches
)
without
hearers
.
But
he
hat●
happely
by
this
singing
some
audienc●
before
whome
,
he
might
deliuer
his
e●rand
,
who
should
be
made
witnesses
bot●
for
him
touching
the
discharge
of
his
d●tie
,
and
for
themselues
and
against
themselues
,
touching
their
monstrous
vnkin●nesse

the
Lord
their

,
howsoeue●
they
iested
at
him
,
as
whom
they
made

accounted

as

that
by
this
kind
of
dealing

they
would

And
(
indeede
)
as
this
Song
soundeth
much
like
a
Loue
Song
,
and
seemeth
to
allude
to
the
fashion
of
Louers
,
who
are
wont
to
allure
one
another
with
pleasant
and
sweete
Songs
and
Ditties
,
so
seemeth
it
to
be
of
the
like
note
and
musick
which
Solomon
modulated
in
the

kind
of
Song
,
wherein
hee
setteth
foorth
the
spirituall
loue
The
Song
hath
both
pleasure
and
sorow
.
and
sweete
communication
betweene
Christ
and
his
Church
.
But
yet
,
when
we
consider
the
end
of
this
Song
,
we
can
scarcely
discerne
betweene
it
,
and
our
mournefull
Song
,
for
the
beginning
thereof
is
not
so
Comicall
,
but
the
end
is
also
as
Tragicall
,
for
though
he
began
to
sing
of
loue
and
benefites
,
yet
he
endeth
his
Song
with
anger
and
displeasure
.
He
began
thus
:
My
beloued
had
a
Vineyard
in
a
plentifull
hill
,
the
which
he
hedged
,
planted
,
and
beawtified
,
and
this
is
gladsome
:
but
he
endeth
thus
:
The
Vineyard
is
ingratefull
,
therefore
my
beloued
is
angrie
with
it
,
he
is
not
minded
to
do
〈◊〉
any
more
good
,
but
rather
he
will
spoyle
and
waste
it
:
and
this
is
wofull
.

For

therefore
,
when

as

apperteineth

It
is
obiected
,
that
the
Prophet
The
Prophet
by
this
word
Beloued
,
meaneth
not
the
people
,
but
God
.
●
this
place
rather
commendeth
his
Song
●
the
people
of
Israel
,
to
whome
hee
●ake
,
because
hee
sayth
,
I
will
sing
to
my
beloved
,
and
then
proposeth
the
matter
●
the
people
,
the
which
also
he
might
●ll
his
Beloued
,
in
respect
of
his
loue
to
●em
,
and
his
great
desire
to
reforme
and
●end
them
:
But
that
which
followeth
●thstandeth
all
this
,
and
ratifieth
that
●hich
is
said
before
:
namely
,
that
the
Pro●et
by
his
Beloued
,
meaneth
the
Lord
.
●r
he
saith
,
he
will
sing
a
Song
of
his
Belo●d
to
his
Vineyard
.
And
it
is
certaine
,
that
●
Song
or
Parable
,
which
he
proposed
,
is
●e
word
of
God
,
&
the
Vineyard
where●
he
spake
,
was
the
people
of
Israel
and
●dah
,
vnto
whom
the
Lord
himselfe
in
mercy
behaued
himselfe
as
an
husbandman
to
his
Vineyard
:
for
so
the
Prophet
expoundeth
it
,
My
beloued
had
a
Vineyard
that
is
to
say
,
the
Lord
of
hoasts
had
●
chosen
and
peculiar
people
:
namely
,
th●
house
of
Israell
,
and
the
man
of
Iudah
.
7.
There
be
here
two
other
question●
to
be
answered
,
whereof
the
first
is
,
why
he
calleth
God
a
Beloued
:
the
second
i●
why
he
calleth
him
,
his
Beloued
.
Touching
1.
Why
he
calleth
God
Beloued
.
the
first
,
we
haue
the
reason
of
this
title
in
the
2.
Chap.
of
the
2.
Booke
o●
Samuel
,
vers.
24.
where
Dauid
named
hi●
sonne
Iedid-iah
,
the
Beloued
of
the
Lord●
for
that
(
as
it
is
there
sayd
)
the
Lord
loue
him
.
So
the
Psalmist
(
speaking
of
Chris●
in
the
person
of
Salomon
)
sayth
:
Thou
ar●
Psal.
45.
fayrer
then
the
children
of
men
,
full
of
grac●
are
thy
lips
:
the
reason
is
added
,
becaus●
God
hath
loued
thee
for
euer
.
And
th●
Prophet
calleth
the
Lord
Iedid
,
Beloue●
for
that
he
is
the
same
chiefe
Good
;
th●
God
is
the
chiefe
good
which
(
before
all
things
)
is
to
be
loue●
and
to
be
desired
,
according
to
that
commandement
,
Thou
shalt
loue
he
Lord
thy
God
with
all
thy
heart
,
with
all
thy
mind
,
wi●
all
thy
power
:
And
,
first
seeke
:
the
kingdom●
of
God
,
and
the
righteousnes
thereof
.
8.
Next
,
the
Prophet
calleth
him
My
2.
He
calleth
God
his
Beloued
:
as
speaking
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Church
.
Beloued
,
partly
as
speaking
in
the
person
of
the
whole
Church
:
partly
,
for
himselfe
.
He
speaketh
in
the
behal●e
of
the
Church
as
Salomon
did
who
brought
in
the
same
,
speaking
of
Christ
,
as
a
faithfull
wife
of
her
husband
,
saying
:
My
Beloued
is
mine
,
Cant.
2.
16.
Againe
,
I
haue
sought
for
him
whom
my
soule
loueth
:
and
in
that
respect
,
the
Lord
nameth
himselfe
an
husband
,
and
his
people
his
wife
:
Hos.
1.
&
2.
So
is
the
Lord
my
Beloued
(
saith
the
holy
Spowsesse
)
because
he
loueth
me
,
as
the
good
husband
loueth
his
wife
:
he
is
my
best
Beloued
,
because
I
affect
and
desire
him
,
as
the
good
wife
affecteth
and
desireth
her
husband
in
holy
loue
.
And
such
(
indeede
)
he
would
our
loue
should
be
towards
him
,
as
his
loue
is
towards
vs
.
The
Church
said
,
I
am
sick
with
loue
:
so
let
vs
loue
him
,
and
let
vs
be
sick
with
his
loue
.
9.
Next
,
the
Prophet
speaking
in
his
3.
As
speaking
in
his
owne
behalfe
.
owne
behalfe
,
calleth
the
Lord
his
Beloued
,
because
the
Lord
had
especially
chosen
,
called
,
and
loued
him
:
and
also
,
for
that
hee
affected
and
desired
his
loue
,
mercy
,
and
holy
graces
before
all
worldly
treasures
.
For
this
cause
was
the
Lord
called
the
God
of
Abraham
,
the
God
of
Isaack
,
the
God
of
Iaacob
,
the
God
of
Daniel
,
as
the
same
,
who
had
bene
especially
good
vnto
them
,
and
whome
they
loued
and
serued
before
all
other
Gods.
And
in
this
sence
Paule
sayth
,
I
thanke
my
God
:
God
,
that
loueth
and
1.
Cor.
1.
4.
preserueth
mee
;
God
,
whome
I
loue
and
serue
with
my
whole
heart
.
10.
Finally
,
by
this
word
,
the
Prophet
expresseth
his
thankefull
heart
vnto
A
note
of
the
Prophets
thankfulnesse
to
God
.
God
,
whose
loue
and
goodnesse
he
doth
not
only
acknowledge
,
but
reuerently
remember
,
and
endeuour
to
requite
to
his
power
(
through
his
Grace
)
to
stirre
vp
,
and
to
prouoke
the
people
to
do
the
like
.
Neither
could
they
deny
,
how
bountifull
the
Lord
had
bin
in
blessings
towards
them
,
therein
declaring
his
great
loue
to
them
,
as
Ezechiel
also
sayth
in
the
16.
Chapter
:
or
that
thereby
,
he
might
make
them
blush
at
their
monstrous
vnkindnesse
,
who
would
neither
confesse
his
loue
to
them
,
nor
shew
any
token
of
good
will
towardes
him
:
whereat
the
Lorde
was
moued
to
say
,
I
will
call
her
Beloued
,
which
was
not
beloued
,
and
her
whome
I
loued
,
will
I
reiect
and
cast
off
.
Therefore
sayth
the
Prophet
,
I
will
sing
to
my
Beloued
:
that
is
,
to
God
,
whose
loue
towards
me
I
acknowledge
,
and
whom
I
only
loue
and
ende●our
(
by
all
meanes
possible
)
to
expresse
and
vtter
this
my
loue
towards
him
,
as
he
hath
expressed
his
loue
towards
me
.
This
is
my
Beloued
,
and
I
am
his
.
A
most
worthie
lesson
for
all
men
to
learne
and
follow
,
according
to
S.
Iohns
rule
:
Let

loue
God
,
for
he
loued
vs
first
,
and
let
vs

this
loue
,
by
keeping
of
his
commandements
,
as
our
Lord
hath
in
his
Gospell
commanded
vs

it
is
asmuch
,
as
if
he
had
called
it
,
the
Lords
Song
,
for

is
his
The
Lords
Song
,
and
why
it
is
so
called

meaning
,
namely
,
that
he
would
sing
a
Song
of
the
Lord
.
And
worthely
doth
he
so
entitle
it
,
first
,
because
the
Song
was
not
the
Prophets
,
but
the
Lords
:
for
(
indeede
)
the
Lord
put
this
Parable
and
Song
in
the
mouth
of
the
Prophet
,
as
he
also
put
a
Parable
in
the
mouth
of
the
Prophet
Nathan
,
whom
he
sent
to
Dauid
.
By
his
commandement
was
it
,
that
one
of
the
Seraphims
flew
vnto
the
Prophet
with
an
hoat
coale
in
his
hand
,
which
he
had
taken
from
the
al●ar
with
his
tongs
and
touched
his
mouth
,
as
himselfe
sayd
,
Isay
.

By
this
,
he
would
declare
the
credit
of
the
matter
,
testifying
,
that
hee
brought
vnto
the
people
nothing
of

owne
,
but
that
which
was
the
Lords
,
who
spake
by
his
mouth
.
Thus
said
Christ
to
his
Apostles
whome
he
sent
forth
to
preach
,
partly
to
embolden
them
,
and
partly
to
giue
authoritie
to
the
word
they
preached
,
It
is
not
you
that
speake
,
but
the
Spirit
of
my
Father
which
speaketh
within
you
.
Againe
,
The
words
that
I
speake
,
are
not
mine
,
but
his
that
sent
me
.
So
,
he
sayth
,
I
will
sing
a
Song
,
not
mine
owne
,
but
my
Beloueds
,
that
is
,
the
Lords
.
Neither
can
it
be
but
a
comfort
to
the
Minister
,
when
he
is
assured
of
his
calling
,
and
the
cause
,
to
be
the
Lords
:
and
a
notable
credit
for
the
matter
,
when
the
people
can
perswade
,
that
it
is
the
Lords
.
4.
Next
,
the
Prophet
entituleth
the
Song
,
the
Lords
Song
,
because
it
concerned
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
the
case
of
his
people
.
As
the
Iewes
in
Babilon
called
that
Song
the
Lords
Song
,
which
concerned
the
praise
of
God
,
the
seruice
of

CHAP.

First
,
the
loue
and
mercie
of
God
is
expressed
in
these
words
:
viz.
My
Beloued
had
a
Vineyard
,
verse
1.
IN
this
Song
or
Parable
,
we
heare
the
Prophet
to
tell
of
a
certaine
Vinitor
or
husbandman
,
and
of
his
Vineyard
:
of
the
place
of
the
Vineyard
,
of
the
hedging
,
cleansing
,
and
planting
thereof
with
the
best
plants
,
and
of
a
Towre
and
a
Wine-presse
builded

made
therein
:
of
all
the
which

I
mind
and
God
will

speake

For
albeit
that
(
after
the
iudgement
of
some
men
)
it
is
not
necessary
that
we
should
exquisitely
sift
euery
word
,
or
that
the
Allegories
of
the
same
should
be
expounded
:
thinking
it
enough
that
only
by
the
words
we
should
generally
●nderstand
the
Lords
loue
and
mercy
to
●is
people
,
and
their
vnkindnesse
toward
▪
●im
:
yet
haue
I
thought
it
meete
and
●●nuement
to
examine
euery
word
par●icularly
,
and
thereof
in
the
feare
of
God
)
●o
yeeld
the
sense
,
as
of
an
Allegorie
or
Parable
which
cannot
wel
be
vnderstood
without
an
exposition
:
and
that
the
soo●er
,
because
it
may
appeare

to
the

and

Lord
had
●lessed
and
beawtified
the
people
of
Israel
,
and
how
carefull
,
prouident
and
watchfull
he
was
ouer
them
at
all
times
:
●a
vehement
Argument
to
haue
stirred
them
to
thankefulnesse
.
Neither
should
we
be
ingratefull
to
the
Lord
,
when
(
the
rather
by
the
consideration
of
these
things
)
we
meditate
of
the
Lords
loue
and
mercies
towards
our selues
,
the
which
in
very
deede
haue
bene
,
and
be
right
plentifull
and
most
apparant
in
this
our
time
.
1.
First
therefore
,
in
that
the
Lord
God
The
Vinitor
and
his
Vineyard
.
likeneth
himselfe
to
a
man
,
and
speaketh
after
the
maner
of
a
man
,
thereby
applying
himselfe
and
his
words
to
our
infirme
and
grosse
capacities
,
it
argueth
his
loue
and
fauour
to
man
,
who
,
as
a
Father
louing
and
liking
his
little
Sonne
,
will
etiam
in
baculo
equitare
(
as
they
say
)
shew
himselfe
as
a
childe
to
teach
his
childe
.
And
thereof
singeth
the
Psalmist
:
Who
is
like
vnto
the
Lord
our
God
,
that
hath
his
dwelling
on
high
?
who
yet
abaseth
himselfe
to
behold
things
in
heauen
and
in
earth
?
And
who
can
but
wonder
with
the
same
,
that
considereth
how
the
Lord
so
high
Isa.
9.
and
wonderfull
vouchsafeth
to
encline
himselfe
to
our
condition
,
to
humble
himselfe
to
teach
and
instruct
vs
:
to
be
mindfull
of
vs
:
to
regard
vs
?
But
yet
,
more
apparant
is
his
loue
and
mercie
to
his
people
,
in
that
he
likeneth
himselfe
not
onely
to
a
man
,
but
also
to
an
husbandman
:
yea
,
to
a
wise
,
carefull
,
and
painefull
Vinitor
,
and
his
people
to
God
is
as
a
Vinitor
.
his
Vineyard
,
which
is
also
oftentimes
spoken
and
repeated
in
the
holy
Scriptures
.
2.
There
is
not
(
in
all
the
Scriptures
)
a
meeter
Comparison
to
set
forth
the
loue
and
mercies
of
God
to
mankinde
:
for
,
as
there
is
not
any
possession
of
the
husbandman
more
pretious
and
deare
A
notable
comparison
to
expresse
the
loue
of
God
to
man
.
vnto
him
,
then
is
his
Vineyard
:
so
nei●her
any
,
that
requireth
the
like
prouidence
,
care
,
labour
,
and
dayly
regard
.
By
this
the
Lord
would
teach
,
that
the
people
of
Israel
and
Iudah
were
not
only
vnto
himselfe
a
pretious
inheritance
:
but
also
,
that
himselfe
hath
a
speciall
loue
,
liking
,
and
regard
of
the
same
,
to
consolate
and
embolden
them
in
all
afflictions
that
put
their
trust
in
him
,
and
to
stirre
them
vp
to
expresse
their
thankfulnesse
,
by
bringing
forth
and
yeelding
vnto
him
the
fruites
of
righteousnesse
.
And
such
a
thing
intended
our
Sauiour
when
he
sayd
to
his
disciples
:
I
am

This
similitude
doth
aptly
set
forth
the
loue
and
mercie
of
God
to
his
people
:

to
amplifie
and

,

bringeth

:

and

How
God
is
sayd
to
haue
one

:
and
how
?
Answere
.
then
is
it
sayd
,
that
God
hath
this
one
Vineyard
?
as
if
therefore
in
respect
of
this
one
,
all
other
Nations
did
nothing
belong
vnto
him
?
I
answere
:
As
those
things
which
men
affect
,
and
vse
either
little
or
nothing
,
are
sayd
to
be
not
their
owne
,
in
respect
of
those
things
which
they
most
loue
and
vse
dayly
;
so
,
albeit
the
Lord
knoweth
who
be
his
,
and
hath
also
other
sheepe
which
are
not
of
this
folde
,
yet
because
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
elect
&
choose
those
sheepe
of
the
house
of
Israel
from
and
before
all
others
,
and
to
fauour
and
feede
them
with
right
good
pasture
,
and
to
be
present
and
dayly
helping
them
,
and
to
accompt
and
recken
them
for
his
peculiar
people
:
therefore
they
are
called
his
Vineyard
:
his
sheepe
,
and
his
peculiar
people
,
and
he
is
called
their
God
.
4.
And
indeed
,
the
Lord
God
hath
not
one
only
Vineyard
,
but
many
Vineyards
,
God
hath
many
Vineyards
:
but
yet
one
aboue
all
:
euen
of
and
among
the
Gentiles
also
:
And
the
time
is
come
,
that
those
sheepe
which
are
without
,
are
also
both
called
and
brought
into
the
right
sheepfold
vnder
the
chiefe
Shepheard
,
according
to
that
desire
of
Noah
when
he
prayed
thus
,
O
that
God
would
perswade
Iaphet
to
dwell
in
the
Tabernacles
of
Shem
!
But
vntill
that
came
to
passe
,
the
Gentiles
were
excluded
(
as
it
were
)
from
the
people
of
God
,
and
the
Israelites
were
chiefely
accompted
and
called
the
Vineyard
of
the
Lord
,
as
the
same
of
whom
he
had
most
regard
,
and
to
whome
he
expressed
his
loue
by
large
benefits
before
all
other
Nations
,
as
Esdras
also
sayd
to
the
most
high
.
O

earth
,
and
of
all
the
trees
thereof
,
thou
hast
chosen
thee
one
onely
Vineyard
:
And
of
all
lands
of
the
world
,
thou
hast
chosen
thee
one
pit
:
and
of
all
the
flowers
of
the
ground
,
thou
hast
chosen
thee
one
Lilly
:
and
of
all
the
depthes
of
the
Sea
,
thou
hast
filled
thee
one
Riuer
:
and
of
all
builded
Cities
,
thou
hast
sanctified
Sion
to
thy selfe
.
And
among
all
the
fowles
that
are
created
,
thou
hast
named
thee
one
Doue
:
and
of
all
the
cattell
that
are
made
,
thou
hast
appointed
thee
one
Sheepe
:
and
among
all
the
multitude
of
people
,
thou
hast
gotten
thee
one
people
:
and
vnto
this
people
(
whom
thou
louest
)
thou
gauest
a
law
,
which
is
approued
of
all
.
And
this
is
approued
by
many
testimonies
and
examples
in
the
Law
,
in
the
Prophets
,
in
the
Psalmes
,
and
in
the
Gospell
.
5.
In
this
respect
Christ
sayd
to
the
Syrophenissan
,
It
is
not
meete
to
giue
the
bread
which
belongeth
to
the
children
vnto
dogs
.

Againe
,
I
am
not
come
,
but
to
the
lost
sheepe
of
the
house
of
Israel
.
And
sending
forth
his
Disciples
,
he
charged
them
saying
,
Go
not
into
the
way
of
the
Gentiles
,
and
into
the
Cities
of
the
Samaritanes
enter
ye
not
:
But
go
rather
to
the
lost
sheepe
of
the
house
of
Israel
.
This
was
(
I
say
)
vntill
the
time
of
the
Gentiles
,
who
then
also
came
by
faith
,
and
made
a
challenge
of
the
merits
of
Christ
,
according
as
the
Prophets
,
and
Salomon
in
his
Songs
had
prophesied
.

which
●e
among
some

these
foure
:

is
to

:
First
,
the
Tower
is
buil●ed
for
a
beawtie
to
the
place
;
Se●ondly
,
for
a
meete
prospect
and

the
extreme

,

as
a

●
the

:
Thirdly
,
for

:
Fourthly
,
for

And
so
(

)
euery
of
these
grea●
edifices
before
mentioned
(
as
they
are
,
and
may
be
wisely
considered
)
did
bewtisie
and
adorne
this
people
with
high
glorie
:
did
yeeld
them
a
right
watchfull
regard
and
prospect
vnto
euery
part

member
of
their
Common-wealth
:
did
strongly

them
that
dwelled
vnder
the
shadowe
thereof
,
and
astonished
and
vanquished
their
foes
on

side
.
10.
Thus
hath
the
Prophet
declared
,
The
happy
state
of
them
which
haue
the
presence
of
God
.
not
onely
what
cost
and
charge
the
Lor●
bestowed

the
state

people
,
so
long
as
the
Lord
was
present
among
them
with
his
loue
,
grace
,
mercie

.
And
(
indeed
)
this
was
their
glorie
,
in

the

said
by

●he

WEe
haue
heard
of
the
hedging
,
cleansing
,
and
planting
of
the
Vineyard
,
as
also
of
a
Tower
●uilded
in
the
middest
of

.
Vn●o
this
(
the
Lord
continuing
his
care
,
●ost
and
regard
,
willing
to
omit
nothing
)
The
Wine-presse
.
●
added
a
Wine-presse
.
The
Pro●het
saith
,
he
digged
therein
a
Lake
,
or
a
●essell
,
or
a
Tun
:
The
Greeks
call
it
Lenor
:
●hat
is
,
a
Vessell
,
in
the
which
the
liquor
●f
Grapes
,
or
the
new
Wine
,
is
woont
to

pressed

But
because
the

is

taken
,
it
hath
pleased
the
Latine

,
to
translate
it
Torcular
,
the
which
we
call
in
English
,
a
Wine-presse
,
a
●hing
incident
to
the
Vineyard
.
For
by
●his
,
the
Grapes
are
pressed
,
and
the
Wine
●aken
out
to
the
right
vse
.
And
this
was
a
token
of
the
conceiued
hope
of
the
fertilitie
of
this
Vineyard
,
in
and
about
the
which
,
ther
was
bestowed
&
imploied
such
care

vnmeasurable
expences

But
for
as
much
as
the
Prophet
speaketh
in
a
parable
or
dark
saying
,
which
needeth
an
explication
,
we
may
not
omit
to
search
out
the
true
meaning
of
the
Prophet
,
&
sense
of
his
words
,
least
that
whiles
we
speak
with
the
tongue
,
we
obserue
not
Pauls
rule
,
to
speake
to
edification
.
By
a
Wine-presse
in
the
Scriptures
,
is
signified
The
preaching
of
the
law
,
and
doctrine
of
the
Crosse
.
sometime
the
preaching
of
the
Lawe
,
and
the
Doctrine
of
the
Crosse
,
the
which
by
the
power
of
the
spirit
of
God
doth
wonderfully
breake
downe
the
pride
of
mans
heart
,
the
courage
of
the
cruell
oppressors
of
the
Saints
,
shaketh
euerie
strong
holde
which
is
raised
vp
against
the
Lords
annoynted
,
and
striketh
into
their
hearts
a
terror
of
the
diuine
iudgements
,
their
owne
consciences
beeing
guiltie
,
accusing
them
of
sinne
.
Because
the
children
of
Israel
,
whom
the
Lord
brought
out
of
Egypt
,
were
by
nature
stiffe-necked
&
hard-hearted
,
neither
would
be
restrained
and
nourtred
by
that
law
which
the
Lord
had
written
with
his
finger
in
the
harts
of
men
,
●e
at
length
gaue
them
a
law
written
,
the
which
also
,
he
caused
Moses
to
proclaime
Exo.
20.
●nd
publish
openly
,
to
be
both
heard
and
●nowne
vnto
all
.
This
law
did
the
Pro●het
expound
vnto
the
people
,
and
●om
thence
did
denounce
the
iudgements

vpon
them

albeit
,
this
was
some●imes
spoken
against
the
Idumeans
and
●nemies
which
persecuted
the
Church
,
●nd
which
the
Lord
himselfe
would
destroy
,
and
therefore
he
is
set
forth
there
as
a
victorious
King
or
Captaiue
,
all
bloudie
and
redde
,
after
the
great
slaughter
of
his
enemies
:
yet
do
the
holy
fathers
vnderstand
the
place
of
the
Crosse
and
passion
of
Christ
,
by
the
which
hee
,
powring
out
of
his
bloud
,
did
ouer
come
the
diuell

Now
,
as
he
would
,
that
all
they
which
followe
him
should
take
vp
their
Crosse
and
do
the
same
:
so
would
he
,
that
wee
should
not
refuse
to
tread
this
Wine-presse
with
him
,
as
Peter
,
Paul
,
Iames
,
Iohn
,
Stephen
,
Polycarpus
,
&
other
his
faithfull
Apostles
Martirs
and

haue
in
their

done
,
and
so
yeeld
forth
the
precious
liquour
of
the
Vine
.
The
Ministerie
of
the
word
and
discipline
.
5.
Sometimes
the
Wine-presse
noteth
the
externall
ministerie
of
the
word
of
God
,
the
exercise
of
the
Lawe
of
God
,
and
that
godly
discipline
,
by
and
in
the
vse
whereof
the
sweete
iuyce
of
righteousnesse
and
holinesse
is
wroong
out
and
applied
to
the
glory
of
God
,
and
the
edifying
of
the
Church
.
And
surely
this
thing
is
as
needfull
in
the
Church
at
all
time
and
times
,
as
is
the
hand
of
a
man
vnto
his
bodie
,
by
the
which
that
●ode
is
taken
and
applied
whereof
the
●ody
liueth
:
and
as
needfull
,
as
is
the
●ine-presse
to
the
Vinitor
.
And
Vine
to
●esse
out
and
bring
to
right
vse
the
liquor
●
the
Grapes

And
this
surely
was
●erformed
(
as
the
Lord
would
haue
it
)
●y
the
meanes
of
those
godly
Kings
,
●rinces
,
Iudges
,
Captaines

and
Mini●ers

which
the

pla●d

in

&
among
the
people
of
Israel
●
time
to
time
as
the
Histories
and
testi●onies
of
holy
scriptures
do
truly
testifie
.
The
fulnesse
of
all
things
6.
Sometimes
by
this
Winepresse
is
no●d
the
fulnesse
,
aboundance
and
plentie
●
all
good

And
indeed
they

prospered

bles●d

far
beyond
all
other
Nations
(

In

vnder

not

part

the
other
to

the

this
cannot

draw
men
to
a
more
neere
examination

themselues

Euery
one
is
ready
to
say
,
that
he
loueth
God

and
that
he
beleeueth
well

this
is
certaine
,
that
he
only
loueth

hath
faith

that
loueth
his

his

and
hath
an

and
to
performe
those
duties
which
the

hath
enioyned
him

And
we
cannot
say
,
that
that
man
hath
a
liuely
and
sound
faith
,
and
is
a
right
worshipper
of
God
Faith
and
workes

according
to
those
commandements
conteined
in
the
first
Table

who
expresseth
not
the

by
a

by
an

for
faith
which

I
knew
that
thou
wouldest
grieuously
transgresse
,
therefore
haue
I
calle●
thee
a
transgressour
from
the
wombe
:
tha●
is
,
from
the
time
that
I
brought
thee
o●
of
Egypt
.
It
is
sure
that
the
Lord
foresa●
their
rebellion
;
and
what
he
was
to
expec●
from
them
,
he
knew
wel
enough
:
as
like●
wise
he
knew
,
before
he
made
Ada●
what
would
follow
.
Therefore
this
is
no●
spoken
as
if
there
were
in
God
a
doubtf●
hope
what
would
follow
:
nor
doth
th●
Prophet
subtilie
dispute
what
the
Lor●
expected
in
his
own
secret
counsels
:
b●
he
telleth
,
how
meete
it
was
,
that
the
peop●
should
haue
shewed
themselues
thank●full
to
him
,
whose
great
blessings
and

on
them
bestowed
,
they
should
neyther
forget
,
nor
deny
,
nor
reward
with

,
nor
depriue
themselues
of
his
day●
blessings
and
benefits
,
through
their
ow●
abhominations
and
sinnes
.
8.
Thus
the
Lord
hath
commanded
t●
Gospell
to
be
preached
&
published
to●
for
their
obedience
to
the
faith
:
howbe●
not
so
,
as
therefore
in
his
secret
counse●
be
expecteth
that
obedience
in
all
;
for
he
God
doth
not
looke
that
all
men
should
be
conuerted
:
for
there
will
be
some
obstinate
and
vngodly
persons
to
the
end
of
the
world
●noweth
wel
,
that
all
wil
not
beleeue
,
nor
●ey
.
The
godly
are
by
the
word
of
●od
mollified
,
as
waxe
with
the
heate
of
●e
Sunne
,
and
drawen
to
repentance
:
the

are
hardned
as
clay
,
and
made
inex●isable
.
Neither
may
we
thinke
,
but
that
●e
Lord
hath
made
them
ensamples
vn●
his
owne
children
,
who
are
wont
to
●emble
,
and
take
instruction
at
the
con●deration
of
his
iudgements
on
the
wic●d
,
as
the
Lion
is
wont
to
do
,
when
he
●eth
a
dog
beaten
before
him
.
And
thus
●e
Lord
doth
not
only
foreknow
what
●sueth
,
but
also
prouideth
so
,
that
euen
●e
same
things
which
are
most
noysome

grieuous
to
the
vngodly
,
are
most
ofitable
&
comfortable
to
his
children
.
●nd
in
this
,
appeareth
both
the
iudge●ent
and
mercie
of
the
Lord
:
his
iudge●ent
on

vnthankful

those

which
we

those

the
which
two
words

do

those
two
former
words
,
Iudge●ent
and

:

allu●n
,
which
the
Hebrewes
call

Zacoth

●aleshon
:
that
is
,
a
decking
or
garnishing
of
●e
tongue
:
where
(
indeed
)
the
Prophet
●yneth
togither
two
words
of
neare
like
●und
,
but
of
a
contrarie
signification
:
as
●e
looked
for
Mischpat
,
and
loe
Misch●ac
:
There
was
neither
Iudgement
nor
Iustice
,
but
oppression
,
and
crying
.
for
Tsedacah
:
and
loe
,
Tseyacah
.
2.
Where
the
Lord
looked
for
Iudge●ent
,
behold
,
he
found
oppression
:
where
●e
looked
for
Iustice
,
behold
,
he
found
a
crying
.
There
was
neither
Iudgement
to
suppresse
the
wicked
,
nor
Iustice
to
defend
the
godly
:
but
the
wicked
did
oppresse●
the
innocents
,
and
the
innocents
were
constrained
not
onely
to
complain
of
the
iniurie
to
them
in
authoritie
,
but
also
,
to
crie
to
the
Lord
for
vengeance
on
theyr
oppressors
.
In
a
word
:
there
wanted
the
feare
of
God
.
And
so
all
humanitie
,
gentlenesse
and
iust
dealing
:
and
in
ste●d
thereof
,
there
swayed
the
malice
of
the
diuell
,
and
so
all
inhumanitie
,
crueltie
and
iniurious
dealing
one
towards
an
other
.
Therefore
the
Prophet
in
his
first
Chapter
,
saith
:
How
is
the
faithfull
citie
become
an
harlot
?
It
was
full
of
iudgement
,
and
iustice
lodged
therein
:
but
now
,
they
are
murtherers
:
couetous
,
deceitfull
,
extortioners
,
theeues
,
brybers
,
cruell
and
vnpure
.
And
truly
,
where
these
sinnes
sway
,
there
is
neither
any
feare
of
God
,
nor
good
religion
,
whatsoeuer
shewe
of
holinesse
men
make
before
the
world
.
The
Prophet
would
therefore
set
foorth
these
their
sinnes
euen
before
their
faces
to
conuince
them
,
as
transgressors
of
the
lawe
of
GOD
,
whiles
they
would
with
the
Pharisee
iustifie
themselues
●efore
all
other
Nations
,
as
the
●nely
keepers
and
dooers
of
the
law
of
God
.
3.
And
it
may
be
,
that
as
in
the
two
●ormer
words
,
Iudgement
and
Iustice
,
the
Prophet
would
comprehend
al
godly
ver●ues
:
so
by
those
two
latter
words
oppres●on
and
crying
,
hee
would
comprehend
all
●ngodly
vices
.
And
that
as
those
2.
words
●udgement
and
Iustice
were
first
referred
to
●he
function
and
dutie
of
the
Princes
and
●udges
,
and
then
to
the
people
(
as
it
is
be●ore
said
in
the
10.
Chapter
)
so
here
,
the
Prophet
doth
(
no
doubt
)
reproue
the
vn●ust
dealing
and
abuses
of
the
Princes
and
He
first
reproueth
the
vniust
dealing
of
the
Magistrates
.
Magistrates
,
which
were
wont
to
oppresse
●ther
men
with
their
tyrannie
,
when
they
●hould
rather
haue
administred
iudgement
:
and
the
poore
innocents
were
compelled
to
groane
and
crie
out
for
want
of
Iustice
which
they
requested
to
haue
at
theyr
handes
;
the
which
came
into
the
eares
of
the
Lord
,
as
that
clamour
of
the
Israelites
in
Aegypt
,
and
as
that
of
righteous
Loth
in
Sodome
,
and
as
the
innocent
bloud
of
Abel
from
the
earth
.
And
as
that
loud
crie
of
those
Saints
vnder
the
Altar
,
saying
:
How
long
Lord
,
holy
,
and
true
,
doest
not
thou
iudge

auenge

hand

The

They

they
did

Thus
farre
the

speaketh
●
generall
words
:
from
the
which
heede●
scendeth
to
certaine
particular
sinnes
an●
abhominations
of
the
Iewes
,
with
th●
which
,
(
as
with
most
vnsauorie
fruites
)
they
had
displeased
the
holy
one
of
Israel
:
yet
not
,
that
euerie
particular
sinne
of
Certaine
particular
sinnes
.
this
people
is
heere
numbred
vp
(
for

a●
they

but
some
certaine

So

Who
no

,

in
him
many
other
sinnes
besides
:
●
pride
is
noted
,
in
that
hee
was

in
purple
and
fine

:
se●nd
,
his
fulnesse
of

,
in
that
he

dilitiously
:
third
,
his
idlenesse
,
●
that
hee
vsed

:
fourth
,
●
neglect
of

in
that
hee
●
not

The

And
thus
Christ
speaking
of
the

,
Mat.

no●h
chiefly
their
contempt
and
blou●
crueltie
against
the
Prophets
,
the
●uants
of
GOD
,
and
his
sonne
:
●
the
which
he
did
sufficiently
depaint
●d
set
forth
their
monstrous
ingratitude
●ainst
God
.
So
here
the
Prophet
num●eth
vp
(
as
I
said
)
some
certaine
sins
,
●d
such
as
we
may
thereby
well
iudge
of
●e
rest
.
Now
therfore
,
as
the
prophet
had
before
generally
vnder
two
words
;
comprehe●ded
either
all
the
wicked
abhominatio●
of
the
Israelites
,
or
at
least
their
two
cap●tal
vices
:
so
in
the
words
following
the
e●position
and
application
of
the
Parabl●
dooth
hee
number
vp
and
note
some
c●taine
particular
sinnes
,
as
the
vnpleasa●
fruites
of
the
ingratefull
Vineyard
.
A●
first
he
depainteth
foorth
the
insatiab●
The

couetousnesse
and
ambition
of
tho●
worldly
rich
men
,
who
are
neuer
conten●
with
any
houses
or

,
be
they
neuer
so
many
,
but
labour
daily
ro
encroa●
and
get
more
,
howsoeuer
they
come
b●
them
:
as
if
the
Lord
had
giuen
all
the
ear●
to
them
,
and
not
to
any
besides
them
;
an●
that
therefore
,
it
is
lawfull

for

to

and
not
lawfull
for
any
poo●
man
,
to
possesse

enioy
any

Thus
Alexander

was
not
contented
,

would
haue

WE
haue
heard
before
on
the
on●
part
,
how
the
Lord
shewed
him selfe
towards
the
people
of
Isr●el
and
Iudah
;
namely
as
a
good
husban●
or
diligent
Vinitor
to
his
Vineyard
:
a●
thereon
what
he
expected
of
them
,
nam●ly
that
they
would
bee
fruitefull
in
goo●
workes
,
as
is
the
good
Vine
in
Grap●

Then
on
the
other
part
,
wee
haue
hear●
how
much
this
Vineyard
deceiued
th●
Lords
hope
and
expectation
,
namely
●
this
;
that
when
he
looked
for
Iudgement
,
yeelded
him
oppression
:
&
when
he
looke
for
Iustice
,
it
yeelded
a
crying
;
it
broug●
forth
nothing
else
but
wickednesse
an●
iniquitie
;
that
vineyard
which
yeelde●
●
the
Vinitor
sowre
Grapes
&
noisome
●uites
.
And
all
this
the
Lord
yet
behol●eth
and
suffereth
,
being
slowe
to
anger
,

of
great
long
suffering
,
waighting
for

if

not
to

by
when

him
.
Gen.

and
and
reprobate

,
hauing
their
●nsciences
seared
with
h●re
yrons
,
think
●at
all
is
safe
and
sure
inough
:
for
they
●erswade
as
Cayn
did
when
hee
had
killed
●s
brother
Abel
,
that
the
bloud
of
the
●or
oppressed
,
crieth
not
to
the
Lord
for
●ngeance
against
them
;
nor
think
they
that
●e
grashoppers
wil
sing
of
their
iniuries
in
●e
fieldes
:
nor
doo
they
beleeue
that
the
●ord
seeth
them
,
&
that
he
will
be
auenged
●
them
for
al
their
sins
:
yea
,
they
imagin
,
●at
god
who
is
gentle
,
mercifull
,
and
wil●g
to
expect
their
amendment
,
is
very

pleased
with
whatsoeuer
they
doo

yet
thus
saith
the
Lord
(

Thou
thinkest
wickedly
,
●at

,
for

of

,
and
th●

that

come

them
make
haste●
for
the
matter
is
not
so
forgotten
nor
neglected
Eccles.
12.
as
they
imagine
,
nor
will
the
Lord
omit
to
call
them
and
the
matter
into
an●
examination
and
reckoning
,
and
co●straine
their
owne
consciences
to
beare
witnesse
,
and
to
condemne
theyr
guiltie
soules
.
3.
But
whom
hath
the
Lord
made
The
vngodly
are
made
Iudges
of
their
owne
case
.
Iudges
of
the
cause
betweene
him
and
his
people
?
Surely
hee
maketh
not
an
exquisite
choise
of
this
or
that
friend
,
or
of
this
or
that
especiall
Iudge
:
but
he
appealeth
euen
to
the
consciences
and
knowledge
of
them
,
who
had
so
egregiously
abused
his
goodnesse
,
and
maketh
them
Iudges
as
they
are
wont
to
do
,
which
are
most
assured
of
the
truth
and
sufficiencie
of
their
causes
,
the
which
being
manifest
,
can
neither
be
concealed
,
nor
denied
by
their
very
aduersaries
.
And
this
is
a
sure
Argument
of
the
goodnesse
of
the
Lords
cause
,
that
he
appealeth
to
the
consciences
of
his
aduersaries
,
&
willeth
them
to
giue
sentence
,
whether
the
matter
be
not
so
,
as
he
hath
de●ared
it
vnto
them
?
Therefore
he
sayth
:
Verse
3.
●ow
therefore
,
ô
Inhabitant
of
Ierusalem
,
●d
thou
man
of
Iudah
,
iudge
(
I
pray
you
)
●tweene
me
and
my
Vineyard
.
4.
Thus
Nathan
the
Prophet
appea●d
not
to
any
other
Iudge
,
then
to
Dauid
●mselfe
,
as
he
pleaded
the
case
of
Vriah
;
●d
he
drew
in
Dauid
to
pronounce
the
2.
Sam.
12.
●
.
●ntence
of
condemnation
against
him●fe
,
which
sayd
;
As
the
Lord
liueth
,
the
●en
that
hath
done
this
thing
shall
surely
●e
.
And
thus
,
when
Christ
had
propo●d
a
Parable
of
the
like
Argument
to
●e
Princes
,
Priests
,
and
Rulers
of
the
●wes
,
he
affixed
to
the
same
,
as
it
were
a
●quest
of
their
owne
iudgement
in
the
●use
,
saying
:
Therefore
when
the
Lord
Math.
21.
40.
●f
the
Vineyard
shall
come
,
what
shall
he
●o
to
those
husbandmen
?
and
they
whom
●e
Parable
reproued
,
gaue
the
sentence
●ying
:
He
will
cruelly
destroy
those
wicked
●es
,
and
will
commit
his
Vineyard
vnto
o●hers
,
which
shall
yeeld
him
the
fruites
there●f
in
their
seasons
.
Neither
can
the
con●cience
refuse
to
be
both
an
vpright
wit●esse
,
and
an
accuser
,
and
condemner
of
the
sinfull
soule
,
euen
against
it selfe
,
especially
there
,
where
the
things
are
manifest
:
therefore
he
goeth
no
further
fo●
iudgement
in
the
cause
,
then
to
the
inhabitor
of
Ierusalem
,
and
the
man
of
Iudah
.
4.
Some
would
,
that
by
this
Inhabitor
of
Ierusalem
,
and
man
of
Iudah
,
should
be
ment
the
Lord
Christ
,
because
the
Prophet
sayth
not
Inhabitors
,
and
men
:
but
,
The
inhabitor
of
Ierusalem
,
and
man
of
Iudah
:
by
this
some
vnderstand
Christ
thou
inhabitor
,
and
thou
man
:
as
also
,
for
that
Christ
was
the
spirituall
head
and
inhabitor
of
Ierusalem
,
the
chiefe
man
of
the
tribe
of
Iudah
,
and
the
Sonne
of
God
,
to
whom
the
Father
had
committed
all
Iudgement
.
Neither
may
we
thinke
otherwise
,
but
that
he
shall
be
the
Iudge
of
this
matter
,
and
of
those
persons
in
the
generall
Iudgement
.
But
yet
,
it
is
plaine
,
that
the
Lord
in
this
place
appealeth
by
the
Prophet
to
the
Iewes
themselues
.
And
in
that
he
speaketh
in
the
singular
number
,
thou
inhabitor
of
Ierusalem
,
and
thou
man
of
Iudah
,
his
purpose
was
thereby
not
to
craue
iudgement
as
simply
of
them
all
together
,
but
He
appealeth
to
euery
one
particularly
.
particularly
of
euery
one
of
them
.
Neither
would
he
that
only
one
of
them
should
be
Iudge
of
another
:
but
that
also
●uery
one
of
them
,
singularly
should
en●r
into
his
owne
heart
,
his
own
conscience
,
●nd
examine
himselfe
,
and
iudge
of
him●elfe
in
this
case
.
5.
Neyther
did
the
Lord
doubt
any
●hing
to
commit
this
iudgement
to
euery
●ne
of
them
,
the
cause
being
indeede
so
●st
and
so
honest
of
his
part
,
and
so
ma●ifest
and
well
knowne
to
euery
one
of
●hem
,
as
could
neither
be
reproued
by
●ny
of
them
,
nor
denyed
.
Therefore
●ayth
he
)
I
come
now
for
iudgement
in
●is
cause
to
thee
,
euen
to
euery
singular
●erson
of
Iuda
and
Ierusalem
:
requesting
●hee
,
to
discerne
betweene
me
and
my
●ineyard
.
Such
a
thing
we
haue
also
in
●he
prophesie
of
Hoseah
,
where
the
Lord
Hoseah
.
6.
4.
●sketh
of
Ephraim
,
and
Iuda
iudgement
,
●n
these
words
:
O
Ephraim
,
what
shall
I
●o
vnto
thee
?
O
Iudah
,
how
shall
I
intreate
●hee
?
6.
Surely
,
this
could
not
but
pierce
●heir
consciences
,
and
compell
them
to
giue
sentence
in
the
cause
,
not
onely
generally
,
Yoni

but
singularly
,
as
Cayn
did
,
saying
:
My
sinne
is
greater
then
I
can
beare
:
he
sayth
not
,
that
mans
sinne
,
or
such
mens
faults
;
but
looking
into
himselfe
,
and
iudging
himselfe
,
he
sayth
;
mine
owne
sinne
:
the
burthen
whereof
oppresseth
my
conscience
,
which
acknowledgeth
,
that
for
the
same
a
greater
punishment
is
due
vnto
me
then
I
am
able
to
sustaine
:
if
he
iested
not
at
Gods
threatnings
,
as
some
do
thinke
:
or
,
as
King
Dauid
did
,
who
in
the
assured
hope

●hat

Why

it

As

:
ye

are

Lo
,
in
thi●
we
see
not
only
a
very
patheticall
complaint
of
the
Lord
against
this
people
of
Israel
,
but
also
the
reason
of
the
same
.
2.
These
two
points
the
Prophet
H●sey
Hos●ah
.

combineth
,
when
he
saith
in
the
Lord●

:
O

thee

O
Iudah
,
how

I
intreate
thee
?
By
Ephraim
,
he
meaneth
the
house
o●
Israel
:
by
Iudah
,
the
Iewes
.
This
is
the
complaint
:
he
addeth
a
reason
thereof
,
saying
:
Your
goodnesse
is
like
a
morning
cloude
,
and
like
a
deawe
that
quickly
goeth
away
:
whereby
he
noteth
their
inconstancie
and
deceitfulnesse
.
This
complaint
is
also
very
patheticall
,
as
if
the
Lord
had
striued
with
himselfe
to
haue
vttred
something
more
,
then
he
could
in
words
expresse
.
And
this
doeth
the
manner
of
the
speech
by
interrogation

manner

or

fortifie
,
hauing
in
it
indeed
a
more
emphasis

force
,
then
he
had
onely
sayd
,
in
a
playne
affir●ation
;
I
am
not
able
to
do
any
more
●en
I

done
for

:
nor
to

better
then
I
haue
intrea●d
him
.
I
know
not
what
more
I
should
●ue
done
for
my
Vineyard
,
then
I
●ue
done
.
In
this
sort
speaketh
the

saying
:
Is
E●hraim
my
deare
sonne
,
or
pleasant
child
?
though
he
would
say
,
No
,
no
:
for
he

dealt
vnfaithfully
with
me
.
And

What
iniquitie

that

punished
;
and
then
,
be
constrayned
●
acknowledge
their
owne
vnkindnesse

sinnes
against
me
.
And
this
is
that
●hich
Moses
prophesied
of
long
before
,
●hereof
the
Prophets
preached
in
their
●●es
,
and
Christ
himselfe
confirmed
and
●●ea●●ed
on
the
latter
Iewes
,
which
in
●e
due
time
was
also
accomplished
.
4.
By
this
we
may
perceiue
,
that
their
●nnes
were
not
small
against
the
Lord
,
●ho
was
so
mightely
prouoked
to
high
●ispleasure
:
and
that
,
as
their
great
●nnes
moued
him
to
great
wrath
,
so
the
end
of
this
wrath
is
the
death
of
th●
irrepentant
sinner
:
for
as
without
sinne
,
there
is
no
displeasure
;
so
without
displeasure
,
there
is
no
death
,
no
miserie
:
for
man
was
not
subiect
either
to
death
or
miserie
,
vntill
he
had
sinned
.
But
thi●
will
appeare
the
more
,
if
we
duely
consider
,
first
who
they
be
which
are
here
threatned
to
be
punished
,
and
then
who
he
is
,
which
threatneth
and
punisheth
them
.
5.
But
who
are
threatned
to
be
punished
?

The
Lords
owne
Vineyard
is
threatned
.

neither

things

that

secondly
,
that

these
two
poynts
he

first
he
saith
;
Now

secondly
,
hee
saith

Of

saith
the

:

Surely
the

will
do

he
reuealeth

And
this
mercie
did
the

vnto
the

,
when
he
war●ed
them
by

of

in

,
he

is
not

rather
let

12.
To
this
end
the
Lord
deferred

after
he
had
giuen

by
Noah
an
hun●ed

in

they

made

after
that
,
in

of
the
Iudges
,
of
the
Kings
,
of
the

;
many
yeares
after
hee
had

them
,
did
hee
defere
to
punish
●em
:
Hezekiah
had
the
time
of
his

,

Iosiah
,
had
his

Lastly
:
the

hadde

to

after
that
Christ
had
foretold
them
of
