O
Praise
the
Lord
all
yee
Nations
,
praise
him
all
yee
People
.
THis
booke
of
Psalmes
,
contayning
the
Sacred
songs
in
the
Scriptures
,
was
penned
by
the
direction
and
inspiration
of
that
all-guiding
Spirit
of
Truth
,
as
a
briefe
Compendium
of
the
holy
Historie
,
First
,
a
Proposition
or
generall
exhortation
,

,
1.
O
praise
the
Lord
all
yee
Nations
,
praise
him
all
yee
People
.
Secondly
,
a
double
reason
,
-
1.
In
regard
of
his
Mercy
in
making
Promises
.
-
2.
His
Truth
in
the
performing
of
them
,

To
leave
this
for
a
while
,
come
wee
to
the
first
,
which
is
the
Exhortation
:
In
which
consider
;
1.
The
Duty
enjoyned
in
the
Exhortation
,
[
Praise
]
which
is
urged
by
the
interjection
[
O
]
which
is
not
supernumerall
,
but
necessary
:

The
Object
[
the
Lord

3.
The
parties
enjoyned
,

[
Nations
,
]
2.
[
People
,
]
which
are
taken
of
some
generally
for
all
the
people
of
God
:
but
others
and
the
more
generall
current
of
Interpreters
,
doe
by
these
note
the
two
great
Seedes
;
The
Gentiles
,
which
are
accounted
before
theyr
calling
,
Not
beloved
,
Not
my
People
;
but
heere
Prophetically
called
to
praise
God
:
And
the
Iewes
which
by
a
certaine
speciall
prerogative
,
are
called
Gods
people
,
his
darlings
,
and
dearely
Beloved
ones
,
which
hee
carried
upon
his
winges
as
an
Eagle
her
young
ones
,
and
led
them
in
the
Wildernesse
like
a
flocke
of
Sheepe
,
which
had
his
speciall
protection
and
favour
,
the
kisses
of
his
mouth
,
Hee
gave
his
Lawes
unto
Iacob
,
his
Statutes
and
Ordinances
to
Israel
,
Hee
hath
not
dealt
so
with
any
Nation
,
Psal.

it

confining
his
Graces

the
skirts
and
straite
borders

Psal.

The
duty
is
called
here

Next
,
[
Praise
]
which
is
nothing
else
(
as
Aristotle
sayth
)
but
to
elucidare
,
Iulius
Caesar
for
his
Patience
,
&c.
To
praise
Mercy
,
Power
,
Iustice
,
Wisedome
,
what
is
it
,
but
to
magnifie
those
eminent
backe-parts
and
attributes
of
I●HOVA
the
mighty
GOD
,
in
and
by
which
hee
hath
revealed
himselfe
unto
his
Creatures
,
Men
,
and
Angels
?

And
so
this
leades
us
to
the
true
object
of
our
Duty
.
[
The
Lord
,
]
There
be
many
Gods
and
many
Lords
,
To
which
of
the
Saints
wilt
thou
turne
?
not
to
Baal-zebub
the
God
of
Ekron
,
nor
Belz●bub
the
Prince
of
Devils
,
but
with
David
,
Psal.
73.
28.
It
is
good
for
mee
to
drawe
neare
unto
the
Lord
.
Our
prayers
and
praises
,
confidence
and
hope
,
doe
here
levell
at
him
,
as
the
surest
marke
.
Make
him
the
beginning
and
end
,
Gregory
Nazianzen
;
the
very
Heathen
could
both
acknowledge
and
practise
this
.
So
then
this
stands
as
one
of
the
Priests
upon
a
turret
of
the
Temple
,
or
as
a
monitor
to
tell
us
what
praise
belongs
not
to
our selves
.
Prov.
27.
2.
Let
another
man
praise
thee
,
and
not
thine
owne
mouth
,
a
stranger
,
and
not
thine
owne
lips
;
This
is
Pharisee-like
,
Luke
18.
Because
he
had
slow
neighbours
,
he
becomes
his
owne
trumpet
,
and
sounds
an
Alarum
to
his
owne
follie
:
this
is
but
a
cold
praise
,
Who
maketh
thee
to
differ
from
another
?
and
what
hast
thou
that
thou
hast
not
received
?
(
gifts
of
mind
,
as
learning
,
wisedome
;
gifts
of
body
,
strength
,
agility
,
beautie
)
if
thou
hast
received
them
,
why
boastest
thou
as
if
thou
hadst
not
received
them
?

1.
17.
This
is
the
ground-worke
of
all
Christian
modesty
.
Hast
thou
Faith
?
It
is
from
thy
calling
:
hast
thou
Remission
of
sinnes
,
and
Iustification
?
It
is
from
Christ
:
The
gift
of
Prayer
,
Prophecy
,
Preaching
,
or
of
the
Tongues
?
it
is
from
the
Spirit
:
all
which
or
whatsoever
else
thou
hast
,
I
am
the
least
of
the
Apostles
,
which
am
not
worthy
to
be
called
an
Apostle
,
because
I
persecuted
the
Church
of
God
;
ashamed
,
and
yet
not
ashamed
to
confesse
,
1
Tim.
1.
15.
A
blasphemer
,
a
persecuter
,
and
iniurious
,
the
chiefe
of
all
sinners
.
Neyther
must
wee
hunt
after
others
,
to
praise
us
:
where
there
is
good
Wine
,
there
needs
no
Ivie-bush
,
and
where
there
is
true
worth
,
there
needs
no
flatterer
.
It
is
but
a
poore
reputation
,
that
is
pinned
upon
another
mans
Tongue
,
and
hangs
upon
the
sound
of
his
clapper
:
This
man
must
bee
left
as
a
prey
for
his
Parmeno
,
and
carry
with
him
the
badge
of
Pride
,
Neyther
must
wee
settle
our
admiration
and
praise
upon
any
particular
Person
or
Sect
,
to
pinne
our
salvation
onely
upon
them
,
as
if
they
were
the
onely
Oracles
of
GOD
,
to
account
of
them
as
the
people
voyced
of
Herod
,
Act.
12.
22.
The
voyce
of
God
and
not
of
Man
.
And
thus
to
despise
others
,
as
not
sufficiently
guifted
for
their
calling
and
embassage
:
what
is
this
,
but
to
have
mens
persons
in
admiration
?
The
Apostle
accounts
such
to
be
but

and

not

and
walke
as

?
While
one
sayth
,
I
am
of
Paul
,
and
another
,
I
am
of
Apollos
,
are
yee
not
carnall

For

This

Neither

we
idolatrously
magnifie
the

,
to
shrinke
in
,
and
pinche

and
pinne

laying
downe
the
ground-worke
of
all
Idolatry
,
and
spirituall
fornication
,
saith
thus
;
A
Father
afflicted
with
untimely
mourning
,
when
he
had
made
an
Image
of
his
child
soone
taken
away
,
now
honoured
him
as
a
God
,
which
was
then
a
dead
man
,
and
delivered
to
those
that
were
under
him
,
ceremonies
and
Sacrifices
.
Thus
we
see
,
out
of
the
heat
of
a
too
ardent
and
earnest
love
,
transported
in
a
preposterous
current
,
that
is
soone
taken
from
the
Creator
,
and
given
to
the
creature
;
and
where
that
true-loving
affection
of
man
is
placed
,
there
is
way
made
for
Idolatry
,
if
not
rightly
and
strongly
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
Grace
and
thus
we
may
offend
even
in
things
that
are
most
deare
,
most
neare
unto
us
,
in
our
wives
,
children
,
selfe
love
&c.
as

,
as
the

did
to
their
captived

:
And
upon
this
he
bestowes
a
double
worship
;
an
inward
,
for
hee
loves
,
desires
,
delights
,
and
trusts
in
his
wealth
:
and
an
outward
,
for
he
spends
most
of
his
time
upon
his
Idoll
,
in
gathering
carefully
,
keeping
watchfully
,
encreasing
painefully
,
and
honouring
dutifully
his
carved
and
painted
God
;
and
yet
the

put
out

due

to

Thirdly
to
wicked
men
,
the
worst
of
reasonable
creatures
;
and
then
even
to
Devils
the
enemies
of
God
and
man
,
they
gave
that
incommunicable
name
of
God
;
Thus
by
little
and
little
,
the
Devill
brought
on
the
highest
pitch
of
Idolatry
,
making
the
wayes
of
men
and
their
Religion
as
uncertaine
,
as
Hanniball's
crooked
passages
upon
the
Alpes
;
That
fooles
make
a
mocke
at

,

and
they
erre
in
their
hearts
,
not
knowing
the
wayes
of
God
,
Psal.

Thus
when
we
will
set
our
hearts
upon
these
sublunary
and
terrestriall
vanities
,
it
is
iust
with
God
,
Therefore
have
we
erred
from
the
way
of
truth
,
and
the
light
of
righteousnesse
hath
not
shined
upon
us
,
and
the
Sunne
of
righteousnesse
rose
not
upon
us
;
we
wearied
our selves
in
the
way
of
wickednesse
and
destruction
,
yea
we
have
walked
through
deserts
,
where
there
lay
no
way
,
but
for
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
we
have
not
knowne
it
.
Neither
must
we
,
with
these
bezling
Bacchanalians
of
Belshazzar
(
swallowing
his
last
draught
in
the
sacred
bolles
,
which
his

had
sacrilegiously
taken
from

neglecting
to
praise
and
glorifie
the
God
,
in
whose
hand
our
breath
is

and
whose
are
all
our
wayes
;
sacrificing
to
our
cuppes
and
our

,
our
nets
and
our
navigations
.
Thus
as
though
we
had
made
an
atonement
with

,
and
an
agreement
with

,

some

to
omit
the
rest
,
our selves
which
long
lay
in
the
darknesse
of
superstitious
Gentilisme
:
and
of
late
times
by
those
famous
Colonies
in

,
brought
from
worshipping
of
Divils
(

to
worship
the
true
God
in
spirit

,
the
instruments

whose

were

If
the
mercy

God
had

how
had
wee
and

still
remained

Lord
is

is

This
day
are
these
Scriptures
fulfilled
in
our
eares
.
Thus
much
for
confirmation
of
the
Doctrine
,
the
uses
follow
.
First
to
teach
us
to
magnifie
the
glorious
name
of
God
,
What
is
man
that
thou
art
so
mindfull
of
him
?
or
of
himselfe
,
What
am
I
,
and
what
is
my
Fathers
house
?
Why
,
we
were
even
a
refused
people
,
in
whom
there
was
neither
favour
nor
beauty
,
without
hope
,
without
God
in
the
World
,
children
even
whose
profession
was
disobedience
,
drowned
in
the
sinke
of
abhominations
:
Our
religion
(
if
we
had
any
)
was
mere
idolatry
;
Quicquid
humus
,
pelagus
,
coelum
,
mirabile
gignit
,
Id
dixere
Deos
,
colles
,
freta
,
flumina
,
flammas
.
What'ere
the
God
of
nature
hath
made
strange
,
In
Sea
,
in
earth
,
in
hill
,
floud
,
fire
,
or
skie
,
The
Gentiles
from
their
lawfull
use
did
change
And
made
them
gods
in
their
Idolatrie
.
Nay
even
the
dropping
cloudes
,
Changing
the
glory
of
the
incorruptible
God
,
into
an
image
made
like
unto
corruptible
man
,
&c.
Caesar
(
as
Tertullian
upbraides
them
)
was
so
sacred
,
that
it
was
more
tollerable
to
sweare
&
forswear
by
all
the
Gods
,
than
by
him
:
Nay
in
all
the
whole
course
of
their
lives
,
they
were
so
abhominable
,
and
debauched
,
that
when
the
Scripture
would
aggravate
and
make
a
sinne
seeme
Hyperbolically
great
,
&
paint
it
in
the
true
colours
,
he
sends
us
to
the
Gentiles
for
patternes
,
being
as
truely
Doctored
in
the
acting
of
sinnes
,
as
the
Iesuites
in
the
art
of
poysoning
:
As
against
distrust
,
Math.

32.
For
after
all
these
things
doe
the
Gentiles
seeke
:
It
is
reported
,
that
there
is
such
fornication
among
you
,
as
is
not
named
among
the
Gentiles
,
that
one
should
have
his
fathers
Wife
;
which
is
spoken
as
negative
of
the
Gentiles
,
to
aggravate
the
hainousnes
of
it
;
for
we
reade
their
common
practice
thereof
in
the
Iliade
of
their
abhominations
,
I
honour
thee
vertue
,
as
something
,
but
thou
art
indeed
nothing
but
an
empty
name
.
No
sinne
so
sensuall
,
so
sencelesse
,
so
unnaturall
,
unreasonable
,
but
they
have
beene
actors
thereof
,
Pigusians
&c.
Then
learne
wee
to
magnifie
the
name
of
our
God
;
It
is
an
honourable
thing
to
speake
of
the
workes
of
God
,
Tob.
12.
that
was
so
mindfull
of
us
,
when
wee
were
not
mindfull
of
our selves
;
when
our
hearts
like
Ephraims
,
Hos.
7.
11.
as
a
silly
Dove
deceived
,
The
good
wine
was
kept
till
now
;
the
firkins
of
the
Iewes
were
but
water
to
these
,
beggarly
rudiments
.
See
then
and
admire
the
infinite
mercy
of
Almighty
God
,
to
call
thee
beloved
,
which
wast
not
beloved
;
to
remove
thee
from
under
the
regiment
of
Satan
,
to
draw
thee
out
of
his
power
,
as
David
did
the
Lambes
from
the
Lyon
and
the
Beare
:
broken
the
shackles
and
manacles
of
that
more
than
Aegyptian
,
Babylonish
,
or
Turkish
slaverie
;
taken
thee
as
Abraham
out
of
idolatrous
Chaldea
,
Lot
out
of
Sodome
,
or
a
firebrand
out
of
the
fire
,
and
set
thee
in
the
glorious
liberty
of
the
new
Ierusalem
,
confirmed
thy
Charter
to
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
.
Leape
upon
thy
feete
then
with
the
Cripple
at
the
beautifull
gate
of
the
Temple
,
and
praise
thy
God
,
Acts
3.

Let
him
bee
praised
,
that
hath
brought
thee
home
like
the
lost
sheepe
upon
the
shoulders
of
his
Mercy
,
sought
thee
out
with
the
light
and
lanthorne
of
his
Word
,
perswaded
thee
by
his
Spirit
,
called
thee
from
thy
banishment
,
enfranchised
thee
.
A
people
whom
I
have
not
knowne
,
shall
serve
me
;
As
soone
as
they
heare
of
mee
,
they
shall
obey
me
:
The
Oxe
hath
knowne
his

,
and

Asse

,
Esay
1.

I
am
found
of
them
that
seeke
me
not
.
An
admirable
and
surpassing
miracle
,
that
those
which
did
bandy
themselves
against
the
Lord
,
and
his
Annointed
,
should
willingly
put
their
neckes
under
his
yoake

whom
he
will

It
is
not

.
Consider
further
,
that
mankinde
may
be
divided
into
a
tripartite
ranke
;
First
,
are
those
most
remote
,
and
farre
off
from
the
covenant
,
upon
whom
God
in
his
unfearchable
judgements
hath
not
vouchsafed
so
much
as
an
outward
calling
:

Next
is

Have

must
take
heede
how
he
walkes
;
hence
the
Apostles
Caveat
for
thy
feete
,

5.
Walke
circumspectly
:
For
thy
tongue
,
let
no
filthy
communication
proceed
out
of
thy
mouth
;
it
must
not
be
like
Shallecheth
,
but
the
beautifull
gate
of
the
Temple
:
Full
of
grace
are
thy
lips
,
Psal.

For
thy
loynes
,
they
must
not
be
loose
and
lascivious
,
but
girt
;
For
thy
eyes
,
Iob.
31.

I
have
made
a
covenant
with
mint
eyes
,
and
so
for
the
rest
,
all
must
be
like
the
strings
of
a
Davidicall
Harpe
in
tune
:
All
thy
wayes
are
marked
,
and
by
thy
weakenesse
,
and
upon
thine
infirmities
the
prophane
wretch
layes
the
lawfulnesse

endued
with

of

fought
many
excellent

but
when

began
to
rebell

goe
against
the
commandement
of
God
,
as
in
the
matter
of
Agag
,
Chap.

then
Chap.
16.
14.
The
spirit
of
the
Lord
departed
from
him
,
and
an
evill
spirit
from
the
Lord
troubled
him
,
deprived
and
deplumed
of
all
those
graces
of
excellent
government
.
The
like
we
see
in
Iulian
,
Thou
hast
overco●e
,
O
thou
Galelian
.
The
like
of
Nero
,
whose
first
five
yeares
were
peaceable
and
gracious
,
that
we
might
say
of
him
as
Suetonius
of
T●tus
,
He
was
the
love
and
delight
of
mankind
:
But
after
falling
to
st●ddy
Magicke
,
and
sold
himselfe
to
a
Lern●
and
●●ltitude
of
vices
,
That
he
was
a
spounge
of
bloud
:
And
the
like
may
we
see
in
the
Church
of
Rome
,
degenerate
from
her
primitive
purity
,
to
that
height
of
abhominations
.
Therefore
let
us
(
as
it
is
counselled
to
the
Church
of
Thyatira
,
R●●
.
2.
25
)
Hold
fast
,
let
no
man
take
away
the
crowne
of
our
profession
,
let
us
be
knowne
by
our
workes
;
Let
thy
light
shine
when
the
cloudy
children
of
darknesse
grope
at
noone
day
as
the
blinded
Sodomites
:
Be
thou
that
one
among
a
thousand
,
of
whom
the
Heathen
;
—
Vix
repperit
vnum
,
Let
then
thy
love
to
God
,
to
his
word
,
be
without
dissimulation
,
thy
profession
without
hypocrisie
,
thy
calling
and
conversation
without
staine
,
that
thou
mayest
be
found
blamelesse
in
the
great
day
of
the
Lord
.

Suffer

I

unto

He
will
poure
upon

the
spirit
of
grace
and
supplication
,
that
is
,
the
Holy
Ghost
with
the
graces
thereof

and
which
restoring
,
Paul
proves

that
they
shall
be
called

acknowledge
CHRIST
,
and
wisheth
to
be
separated
from
CHRIST
in
the
ardency
of
his
love
toward
them

so
that
they
might
be
restored

O
pray
then
for
the
peace
of

that

performe

with

that

Let
thy

be

see
the

He

that
neglects
his
duty
,
and
woe
to
him
that
is
an
enemie
to
Israels

;
but
let
us
pray
for
Ierusalem
,
that
prosperity
may
be
within

The
kingdome
of
God
(
which
was
their

and
honour
)
should
be
taken
from
them
and
given
to
a
nation
,
that
should
bring
forth
the
fruites
thereof
.
Ierusalem
was
the
city
which
the
Lord
did
choose
to
place
his
name
there
,
2

She
was
a
faithfull
citie
,
Esay

How
is
the
faithfull
city
become
an
Harlot
?
But
departing
from
her
former
stepps
,
Let
us
depart
hence
.
And
Almighty
God
,
like
old
Iacob
,
layes
his
right
hand
upon
the
head
of
Ephraim
the
younger
,
and
his
left
hand
upon
Manasses
the
elder
,
Gen.

Now
one
cluster
of
the
grapes
of
Ephraim
are
better
than
a
whole

So
now
the
right
hand
of
honour
is
laid
upon
the
Gentile
,
and
the
Iewes
degraded
,
as
the
birth-right
was
convayed
from
Esau
to
Iacob
,
the
Priesthood
translated
from
Abiathar
to
Zadock
,
and
the
regall
dignity
from
Saul
to
David
;
the
prodigall
Gentile
must
have
the
fat
calfe
killed
,
and
be
brought
into
the
Kings

,
when
the
Elder

not
wherewith
to

Hence
this
doctrine

God
is
not
tyed

any
place

For
confirmation
of
this
truth
,
wee
need
goe
no

which
is

Aelius

have

Cursed

The
beginning
of

in

was

as

,
to
forsake

so
to
be
forsaken

gone

So
this

,
doing

all
that
were

with
the

was
with

somewhat
against
thee

thou

thy

thy
zeale
hath
lost

this

the

Verily

Miserably
wretched

is
every
wicked
man

that
hath
by
sinne
so
distamped
the
Image
of
God
,
and
moulded
himselfe
into
the
similitude
of
Satan
,
that
God
will
never
take
notice

such

metamorphosed
changeling

And
for
sinne
the

And
if
we
demaund
a

why
God
so
hateth
sinne

it

cloathes
himselfe

off

glorifies
himselfe

So
odious
is
sinne

The

his

encrease

so
doth
his

multiply

but
if
love
be
gone
,
then
with

he
gives
a

to
all
Religion

,
his

in

And
so
we
see
a

of
the

ignorance
in
so
many
of
our

,
that
have
had
both
Paul
to

;
that
have
had
the
North

upon

have
heard
the

preached
,
the

and
yet
are

,
some
with

which

,
so
are
the
branches
;
but
they
are
,
1
Pet.
2.
9.
A
chosen
generation
,
a
royall
Priesthood
,
an
holy
nation
,
a
peculiar
people
;
which
is
not
meant
of
an
actuall
holinesse
,
Aquin
super
Rom.
11.
which
was
in
them
,
but
that
they
shall
be
restored
to
the
holinesse
of
theyr
Fathers
.
Fourthly
,
from
Gods
omnipotencie
,
who
is
able
to
restore
them
againe
,
as
a
man
to
awake
out
of
his
sleepe
;
if
he
be
able
to
raise
the
dead
,
and
give
sight
to
the
blind
,
which
are
miraculous
workes
above
the
course
of
nature
;
then
much
more
to
restore
them
,
which
is
but
a
replantation
and
grafting
in
,
a
worke
of
nature
.
So
that
fiftly
,
according
to
likelyhood
,
If
God
engrafted
the
wilde
olive
contrary
to
nature
,
how
much
more
shall
the
naturall
branches
be
regrafted
into
their
owne
place
?
Sixtly
,
from
the
prophecies
of
Esay
chap.
59.
There
shall
come
out
of
Zion
the
deliverer
,
and
shall
turne
away
ungodlines
from
Iacob
:
&
the
testimony
of
Ieremie
,
which
are
the
Prophets
of
God
,
and
have
prophecyed
of
their
Conversion
.
Seventhly
,
from
a
distinction
concerning
the
Gospell
,
They
are
enemies
for
their
sakes
,
but
as
touching
election
,
they
are
beloved
for
their
fathers
sake
.
Eightly
,
from
a
proportion
;
As
you
Gentiles
were
sometimes
in
unbeliefe
,
without
God
in
the
world
,
Eph.
2.
and
by
mercy
are
now
called
;
so
shall
they
obtaine
mercy
to
come
out
of
their
Cimmerian
blindnesse
of
unbeliefe
;
so
shall
yee
both
be
ioyned
in
the
unity
of
faith
,
building
up
the
temple
of
God
,
perfecting
his
house
,
joyntly
singing
unto
God
your
Hallelujahs
〈◊〉
praise
and
thanksgiving
.
It
must
teach
us
then
the
precept
and
the
practice
of
the
Apostle
of
the
Gentiles
,
Rom.
11.
14.
By
all
meanes
to
provoke
them
to
emulation
,
that
they
may
be
saved
;
as
that
speach
of
Moses
,
Deut.
32.

applyed
to
us
Gentiles
,
Who
have
found
him
whom
we
sought

That

theyr

Ought
not

by
grace

&c.
Two
and
thirty
of
which
we
may
see
in
Matthew
,
and
all
fulfilled
:
and
we
may
even
briefely
gather
all
into
one
,
and
let
it
be
him
,
against
whom
they
cannot
,
they
dare
not
except
,
their
owne
Prophet
Esay
of
their
blood-royall
,
Chap.
53.
wherein
the
Iew
may
plainely
see
that
our
Evangelists
have
recorded
nothing
but
what
was
foretold
,
and
to
whom
can
this
be
applyed
but
to
IESVS
whom
yee
crucified

even
his
death
was
acted
without
the
gate
as
the
Bullocke
was
burnt
without

And
further
,
the
remooving
the
Scepter
from
Iudah
,
Idumean
Herod
,
entring
to
the
Kingdome
by
the
favour
and
furtherance
of

afterward

now
taken
away
from
Iudah
,
and
the
Lawgiver
from
betweene

This
might
also
be
shewed
by
the
generall
ceasing
of
the
Iewish
Sacrifices
,
the
multitudes
of
Hecatombes
among
the
Gentiles
,
which
all
gave
place
and
died
with
the
great
Heathenish
Pan
,
when
this
immaculate
Lambe
was
slaine
;
Also
by
the
ending
of
the
yeare
of
Iubile
,
with
Christ
himselfe
upon
the
Crosse
proclaimed
to
be
ended
,
Ioh.
19.
30.
It
is
finished
:
the
ending
of
the
Monarchies
prophecied
by
Daniel
,
which
should
have
their
full
Period
when
the
Stone
should
be
cut
out
of
the
mountaine
without
hands
;
which
ended
in
that
lascivious
Egyptian
Queene
,
Cleopatra
,
all
being
brought
under
the
yoke
and
subjection
of
the
Romane
:
their
owne
Simeon
,
in
whom
they
say
the
spirit
of
the
great
Sinagogue
did
cease
;
hee
testifieth
,
Luke
2.
26
,
27
,
&c.
Also
,
their

to
examine
the
true

Philip

Lord

Thus
must
we
provoke
the
seed
of
holy
Sem
to
embrace
the
Gospell
,
by
shewing
them
;
that
it
is
in
vaine
to
expect

keeping
us
from

,
are
his
sparing
mercies
,
experienced
in
his
longanimitie
and
patience
,
in
which
thou
mayest
say
,
I
have
sinned
,
and
thou
heldest
thy
tongue
,
I
have
transgressed
,
and
thou
hast
spared
me
;
when
thou
lookedst
upon
Zimri
and
Cosbi
slaine
in
the
act
of
uncleannesse
,
Ananias
and
Saphira
,
the
old
world
,
Sodome
and
Gomorrha
,
Iulian
,
Herod
,
with
thousands
more
,
the
dierfull
spectacles
of
Gods
powerfull
Iustice
;
hast
thou
not
sufficient
cause
to
glorifie
that
God
,
that
hath
so
long
suffered
thee
to
wallow
in
the
puddles
of
thine
iniquitie
,
and
hath
not
sunke
thee
downe
to
the
pit
of
perdition
,
but
still
waites
that
hee
may
have
mercie
.
Thirdly
,
his
pardoning
mercies
,
else
what
benefit
were
it
to
be
long
spared
,
Blessed
is
the
man
to
whom
the
Lord
imputeth
no
sinne
.
Fourthly
,
are
his
renuing
mercies
,
by
which
he
gives
not
onely
remission
of
sinnes
,
but
also
the
grace
of
renovation
,
by
which
they
become
new
creatures
,
trees
of
righteousnesse
bearing
and
abounding
in
the
fruits
of
faith
and
repentance
,
sanctified
in
their
soules
;
bodies
and
spirits
,
not
like
the
blacke
Apostata
,
who
after
his
cleansing
is
repossessed
with
seven
spirits
worse
then
the
former
,
or
the
Dog
returning
to
his
vomit
,
or
the
Sowe
to
wallow
in
her
myre
,
and
which
is
more
fully
made
plaine
in
the
fifth
,
Sixtly
and
lastly
,
are
his
crowning
mercies
whereby
he
shall
perfect
his
worke
begun
in
us
,
and
performe
his
Kingdome
promised
to
us
,
where
there
shall
be
no
hurtfull
thing
,
but
wee
estated
in
the
paradise
of
eternall
happinesse
,
shall
have
our
Vnion
and
Communion
with
Christ
and
the
heavenly
Hierarchie
of
the
high
and
holy
Saints
for
ever
,
such
a
measure
of
Beatitude
,
Isa.

1
Cor.

9.
This
unmeasurable
extent
of
Gods
mercies
serves
first
to
urge
upon
us
the
drift
of
the
Prophet
in
this
place
,
viz.
To
praise
God
for
his
mercy
,
the
whole
worke
of
our
salvation
goes
under
this
Title
,
1
Pet.
2.
10.
Which
in
time
past
were
not
the
people
of
God
,
but
are
now
the
people
of
God
,
which
had
not
obtained
mercie
,
but
now
have
obtained
mercie
;
to
what
part
soever
we
looke
,
the
whole
frame
of
it
is
made
of
mercy
,
if
wee
begin
at
Gods
election
,
the
foundation
and
ground-worke
of
all
,
and
passe
downe
to
the
last
period
of
all
,
which
is
glorification
,
and
aske
from
what
roote
each
part
sprung
,
this
onely
Mercie
must
answer
all
;
Mercie
in
chusing
mercie
,
in
sending
CHRIST
,
in
calling
,
justifying
,
sanctifying
,
strengthening
,
preventing
,
preserving
,
and
the
admitting
of
us
to
an
Inheritance
immortall
and
undefiled
,
1
Pet.

all
from
mercy
,
so
that
the
burden
of
our
song
must
still
be
with
David
,
Psal.
132.
1.
For
his
mercie
endureth
for
ever
.
In
the
parable
of
the
profuse
prodigals
returne
,
the
whole
streame
of
his
Fathers
carriage
toward
him
,
is
nothing
but
mercy
,
when
he
was
yet
a
farre
off
,
his
father
saw
him
,
had
compassion
on
him
,
ranne
to
meete
him
,
fell
on
his
necke
,
kissed
him
,
&c.
In
the
whole
worke
,
there
is
nothing
but
mercie
,
Luke
15.
20.
&c.
So
that
light
and
darkenesse
,
God
and
the
Devill
,
hot
and
cold
,
and
not
in
a
line
of
greater
opposition
then
mercie
and
merit
in
the
worke
of
mans
salvation
,
which
Antichristian
Doctrine
is
like
a
Centaure
halfe
man
,
halfe
horse
,
or
like
that
brood
of
Nilus
,
halfe
frog
,
halfe
earth
,
or
the
minotaure
,
halfe
bull
,
halfe
man
,
contraries
in
a
remisse
degree
may
admit
intention
and
remission
,
Death

So
doe
they
temper
the
soules-salving
herbe
of
grace
,
with
the
poysoning
Gourd
of
humane
merrit
,
dealing
with
the
Church
of
God
,
as
unkindly
,
as
unnaturall
Parents
,
or
Nurses
giving
their
children
a
stone
for
bread
,
and
a
Scopion
for
a
fish
,
as
the
Philistines
with
Isaacks
wels
,
stopping
them
with
earth
,
Iacob
,
Zach.

Changing

into
their
owne

of

Nay
,
further
,
it
is
the
corrupt
and
dangerous
conceite
of
many
who
would
not
bee
accounted
popish
,
but
seeme
to
magnifie
the
free
mercies
of
God
,
which
yet
will
be
saved
by
well-doing
,
good
meanings
,
and
good
prayers
,
like
the
children
of
the
Iewes
,
who
marrying
with
the
Ashàodites
,
spake
halfe
in
their
language
,
Neh.
13.
24.
which
is
an
impeachment
to
their
sufferings
,
which
trode
the
wine-presse

Isa.

which
will
not
give
to
others
,
nor
communicate
this
his
glory
with
others
,
Isa.
42.
8.
It
is
onely
mercy
without
merrit
,
that
must
lift
a
man
from
the
gates
of
despaire
,
when
the
angry
brow
of
the
Almighty
is
bended
against
him
for
sinne
,
David
,
Psal.
51.
&c.
and
our
Saviour
Christ
standing
in
the
gappe
of
Gods
wrath
(
being
but
our
surety
and
pledge
)
yet
his
soule
was
heavy
unto
death
,
trickling
down
those
thicke
drops
of
blood
,
in
his
miraculous
sweat
in
the
Garden
;
thou
mayest
for
a
while
with
David
cast
the
darke
cloud
of
security
over
thy
sins
to
hide
them
,
as
the
fish
Sepia
casts
up
a
blacke
liquor
to

her selfe
,
but
woe
be
to
them
that
seeke
in

their

their

Isa.
Hee
that
searcheth
Ierusalem
with

will
find
thee
out
,
and
rouze
up

Conscience

and
then

And

the

verse
9.
The
Lord
is
not
slacke
concerning
his
promises
,
as
some
men
count
slacknesse
,
but
he
is
long
suffering
toward
us
,
not
willing
that
any
,
should
perish
,
but
that
all
should
come
to
repentance
;
Turne
yee
then
unto
the
Lord
,
your
God
,
for
hee
is
gracious
and
mercifull
,
slow
to
anger
,
of
great
kindnesse
,
and
repenteth
him
of
the
evill
,
Ioel
2.
13.
and
that
you
may
rightly
turne
,
find
ease
and
refreshing
for
your
soules
;
Consider
,
that
as
in
Iacobs
ladder
,
which
reached
from
earth
to
heaven
,
there
were
certaine
steppes
for
ascending
and
descending
,
so
are
there
certaine
degrees
in
descending
to
this
all-curing
Bethesda
of
repentance
.
First
,
is
an
inward
perplexitie
,
sitting
like
Hagar
,
Gen.
21.
15.
when
her
bottle
was
emptied
,
or
like
the
Prodigall
,
Luke
15.
which
by
his
want
is
forced
to
a
consideration
of
his
estate
,
retorting
his
thoughts
into
himselfe
,
is
deepely
affected
,
with
the
solid
apprehension
of
his
owne
misery
,
Cain
,
Iudas
,
&c.
but
the
penitent
hath
two
,
with
the
one
he
sees
his
misery
by
sinne
;
with
the
other
,
his
hopefull
comfort
by
Gods
mercie
,
and
thus
his
feare
becomes
filiall
,
Psal.
130.
4.
Thou
art
mercifull
,
and
worthy
to
be
feared
,
drawing
the
Argument
of
his
sonne-like
obedience
from
that
mercie
,
which
he
feares
to
misse
;
the
wicked
mans
service
(
if
ever
he
have
any
)
springs
from
a
terrour
of
judgement
and
wrath
,
which
is
only
servile
,
the
penitent
beares
not
the
image
and
superscription
of
a
Pharisaicall
Iusticiarie
,
Luke
18.
who
begins
with
gloria
patri
,
instead
of
miserere
mei
,
his
motto
,
I
thanke
thee
,
O
God
,
that
I
am
not
like
other
men
,
but
the
portraiture
of
the
poore
Publican
,
perplexed
,
and
knocking
upon
his
breast
;
Crying
,
Lord
be
mercifull
unto
me
a
sinner
.
The
second
degree
,
is
Sorrow
,
which
ariseth
from
the
former
apprehension
of
Gods
anger
,
and
mans
perplexed
guilt
standing
before
him
,
arraigned
and
convicted
in
his
owne
Conscience
,
for
so
many
and
so
manifold
rebellions
and
transgressions
.
And
here
we
must
distinguish
Sorrow
which
is
two-fold
;
Ahab
,
Iudas
,
Esau
,
&c.
Secondly
,
the
other
is
a
godly
sorrow
for
sinne
,
proper
onely
to
the
godly
man
,
and
the
true
badge
of
the
penitent
,
both
which
we
see
,
2
Cor.
7.
10.
Godly
sorrow
worketh
salvation
by
repentance
,
not
to
be
repented
of
,
but
the
sorrow
of
the
world
worketh
death
;
the
former
arising
from
the
mercy
of
God
,
as
being
sorrowfull
that
he
hath
offended
him
,
as
David
,
Psal.
51.
4.
Against
thee
,
thee
onely
have
I
sinned
and
done
this
evill
in
thy
sight
;
the
gracious
favours
which
were
bestowed
upon
him
,
as
his
exhaltation
from
a
poore
ruddy-faced
Shepheard
,
to
sit
upon
a
Princely
throne
;
his
severall
deliverances
from
the
Beare
,
the
Lion
,
the
Champion
of
the
Phlistines
,
and
the
sundry
treacheries
practised
against
him
by
his
Master
Saul
,
hunting
him
as
a
Partridge
upon
the
mountaines
,
establishing
his
kingdome
,
&c.
with
infinite
more
,
being
called
into
Davids
remembrance
and
made
the
matter
of
his
retired
meditations
,
with
his
owne
ungratefull
ungracious
rebellions
,
doe
cause
his
eyes
to
distill
like
a
Lymbecke
,
and
his
rocky-stony-pumise-dry
heart
,
to
overflowwith
the
Teares

,
that

her
feet
,

was

but
also
her
hands
and
her
head
;
this
hath
been
,
is
,
and
must
be
,
the
course
of
every
saved
sinner
to
retire
,
and
returne
by
weeping
crosse
;
thus
breaking
the
heads
of
Dragons
in
the
water
,
washing
away
great
sinnes
by
great
sorrow
:
What
shall
then
be
said
of
the
preposterous
course
of
the
world
,
doing
all
by
contraries
;
like
that
Nation
,
who
in
a
crosse
emulation
of
their
neighbours
,
whose
custome
in
curtese
is
to
put
off
their
Hats
in
saluting

another
;
these
(
because
they
will
be
contrary
)
put
off
their
shooes
at
their
meetings
;
in
repentance
.
so
in
this
maine
matter
you
shall
see
the
wicked
man
play
cart
before
horse
,
and
in
stead
of
sorrow
for
his
sinnes
,
bragge
and
boast
of
them
,
as
if
the
Peacocks
pride
lay
in

in

The

in

is
the

upon

out

Hee
answered
his

behold
my

what
is
with

in

,
and
he
hath
committed
all
that
he
hath
to
my
hand
,
there
is
none
greater
in
this
house
than
I
,
neither
hath
he
kept
any
thing
from
mee
,
but
thee
,
because
thou
art
his
wife
,
how
then
can
I
doe
this
great
wickednesse
and
sinne
against
God
?
Three
things
stay
Ioseph
from
committing
this
sinne
;
first
,
the
feare
of
God
;
secondly
,
the
love
of
his
Master
,
in
regard
of
his
liberality
;
thirdty
,
the
dutie
of
the
wife
toward
her
husband
,
as
learned
Mercerus
hath
well
observed
.
Having
therefore
these
promises
,
dearely
beloved
,
let
us
cleanse
our selves
from
all
filthinesse
of
the
flesh
and
spirit
,
perfecting
holinesse
in
the
feare
of
God
;
The
same
Apostle
,
by
the
same
Apostolicall
spirit
,
exhorts
to
renovation
of

by
the
same
reason
,

I
beseech
you
Brethren

by
the
mercies
of
God
,
that
you
present
your

a
living
sacrifice
,
holy
,
and
acceptable
unto
God
,
which
is
your
reasonable
seruice

Then
beloved

let
the
mercifull
kindnesse
of
God
,
which
every
houre
thou
triest
upon
thee
and
thine
,
even
in
thy
food

&c.
besides
those
inestimable
treasures
of
his
love
in
thy
daily
preservation

&c.
draw
thee
to
repentance
in
newnesse
of

to
stampe
upon
thee

not
the

to
walke

Seeing
all
the
mercies
of
God
like
so
many
remembrancers
,
cry
unto
us
for
this
dutie
;
let
us
not
despise
(
undervaluing
and
vilipending
)
the
mercies
of
God
,
and
the
Gnosticks
.
in
living
after
our
owne
hearts
,
and
following
our
owne
crooked
wayes
,
as
those
Heretiques
of
old
,
which
sprung
up
from
the
malicious
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
immediately
after
the
Apostles
,
have
wickedly
taught
;
else
yee
heape
up
wrath
against
the
day
of
wrath
,
and
make
the
holy
Gospell
of
CHRIST
IESVS
,
no
better
,
then
the
Turkes
licentious
Alcoran
,
which
is
fraught
with
nothing
but
the
merchandize
of
the
corrupted
flesh
,
large
promises
of
Epicurisme
in
Paradise
.
But
Christians
must
not
so
learne
CHRIST
backe
againe
by
repentance
is
the
better
way
,
loosing
the
Herculian
gordian
knot
,
and
unweaving
with
Penelope
the
webbe
of
thy
sins
,
else
can
we
not
hope
for
peace
;
For
there
is
no
peace
to
the
wicked

48.
22.
Our
iniquities
have
made
a
division
betwixt
God
and
us
,
Isa.
59.

which
must
be
broken
downe
by
repentance
;
if
thou
aske
,
being
in
the
Gibeonitish
rags
of
thy
sinnes
,
as
Iehoram
asked
Iehu
,
Is
it
peace

is
it

.

What
hast
thou
to
doe

so
long
as
thou

prostituting
thy
Soule

vpon
the
stage
,
and
they
will
answer
,
they
never
had
peace
;
because
they
never
had
renovation
by
Repentance
.
Come
then
while
the
Lord
is
neere
,
and
seeke
him
while
he
may
be
found

Seeing
the
mercifull
kindnesse
of
God
is
so
largely
extended
to
all
Creatures
,
Be
holy
for
I
am
holy
.
Every
of
his

being

so
he
would

this
act
of

Doe
good
to
them

that
you

,
who
causeth
his
Sunne
to
shine
both
vpon
the
bad

and
the
good

and
this
our
duty
of
mercy
consists
in
two
things

First
,
in
Giving

that
is
compassionately
and
pittying
,
administring
to
the
necessity
of
our

taught
vnto
vs
in
the

of

:
As

to
sympathise

to
have

feeling
of

it

Seeing

wee

A
congregation
gathered
together
in

My

be
called

,
and
where
two
or
three
are
gathered
together
in
my
name
,
there
am
I
in
the
midst
of
them
;
take
a
patterne
of
the
servants
of
God
,
the
primitive
Church
,
Acts
2.
46.
the
Prophetesse
Anna
,
Luke
2.
37.
and
the
Church
in
St.
Augustins
time
,
which
he
compares
to
Ants
,
because
they
were
alway
about
the
Church
,
as
the
Ant
is
about
her
hole
or
home
;
and
let
not
God
for
this
negligence
,
deprive
thee
of
his
Grace
,
and
bring
upon
thee
that
fearefull
curse
,
Curse
yee
Meroh
,
said

Angell
of

Curse
yee

thee
,
as

not

A
third
sort
are
such
,
as
are
displeased
with
what
they
heare
;
like
the
Mule
,
kicking
the
dam
,
that
feedes
them
;
or
like
undutifull
children
at
every
angry
word
,
casting
dirt
and
myer
in
the
face
of
their
Parents
;
or
like
these
Apes
,
which
breake
every
looking
glasse
,
because
it
shewes
their
deformities
,
whose
galled
backes
,
or
rather
unsound
consciences
,
no
sooner
feele
the
Aqua-Fortis
of
reproofe
,
but
presently
as
Ahab
with
Elija
,
they
accompt
their
Minister
their
enemie
,
1
Kings
21.
20.
or
as
the
same
Ahab
spoke
of
Michajah
,
He
never
Prophecies
good
unto
mee
,
1
Kings
12.
8.
And
for
all
this
,
what
hath
the
righteous
done
?
How
hath
the
Minister
offended
thee
,
when
he
wounds
thy
selfe-love
,
and
the
pride
of
thine
heart
,
and
when
with
the
axe
of
the
word
,
hee
is
hewing
and
fitting
thee
as
a
lively
stone
for
Gods
building
;
wee
see
in
the
Law
,
Deut.
19.
5.
If
a
man
hewing
timber
in
the
wood
,
should
by
chance
let
his
axe
fall
from
the
helue
and
hurt
a
man
,
hee
was
to
goe
to
a
Citty
of
refuge
for
his
safety
?
Why
should
it
not
then
pleade
the
pardon
of
thy
Pastor
,
when
by
chance
,
by
the
sword
of
the
Spirit
hee
rubbs
thy
galled
sores
,
touches
thy
Dalilah
,
thy
Herodias
,
thy
most
beloved
sinnes
,
and
tels
thee
plainely
,
Thou
must
not
have
thy
brothers
wife
,
thou
must
leave
her
,
or
leave
thy
Heaven
and
happinesse
.
Consider
further
that
every
man
being
as
a
brand
taken
forth
of
the
fire
,
all
the
Placentia
pleasing
words
,
comforts
,
and
cordials
,
cannot
cure
him
,
till
he
be
lashed
with
Moses
,
and
driven
out
of
himselfe
into
CHRIST
,
let
not
then
the
poysonous
love
of
sin
,
stop
thine
eares
,
causing
thee
to
say
of
it
,
as
Abraham
of
Ismael
,
Gen.
17.

O
that
Ismael

God
of
Iacob
.
Foure
things
are
required
in
our
spirituall
singing
.
First
,
wee
must
not
babble
them
over
Parrot-like
or
as
the
ignorant
Papist
,
Ave
Maries
,
and
Pater
Nosters
,
but
with
understanding
,
that
we
may
teach
and
admonish
either
our selves
or
others
with
profit
.
Secondly
,
wee
must
sing
with
grace
in
our
hearts
,
that
is
in
exercising
and
stirring
up
the
graces
of
God
in
our
hearts
,
as
our
loy
,
Faith
,
Love
,
confidence
,
and
commemoration
of
Gods
benefits
,
either
in
giving
or
forgiving
,
kindleing
our
dead
zeale
,
as
a
fire
with
bellowes
,

Thirdly
,
wee
must
sing
with
our
hearts
,
not
onely
tongues
and
voyces
,
but
with
a
zealous
desire
,
by
our
singing
to
glorifie
God
,

,
Bind
the
Sacrifice
with
cordes
to
the
hornes
of
the
Altar
;
hence
wee
are
sayd
to
prepare
our
hearts

Thus
David
bids
his
Lute
,
Non
v●x
sed
votum
,
non
musica
chordula
,
sed
cor
,
non
cantans
sed
amans
cantat
in
aure
Dei
.
T
is
not
thy
voyce
but
vowe
,
not
well
tun'd
harp●
but
heart
,
Not
sound
but
solid
love
,
mirths
in
Gods
hearing
part
.
The
fourth
is
,
to
sing
to
Gods
glory
,
with
an
holy
remembrance
of
his
awfull
and
Majesticke
presence
;
and
this
is
that
,
which
is
observed
by
Cramerus
,
primus
moter
of
his
owne
praise
,
they
must
be
of
God
as
the
matter
and
argument
of
all
our
songs
,
they
must
be
with
him
,
as
the
end
and
scope
of
all
our
Hosannaes
of
mercy
,
and
Hallelu-jahs
of
praise
;
thus
making
him
the
efficient
,
materiall
,
formall
,
and
finall
cause
of
all
our
service
,
joyned
together

And
