THE
CHARTER-HOVSE
.
CHARITIE
,
of
the
three
Theologicall
Vertues
,
by
the
vncomptrolable
testimonie
of
Saint
Paul
the
greatest
,
hath
in
these
our
daies
,
vpon
whom
are
(
or
may
be
supposed
to
haue
been
)
come
the
ends
of
the
World
,
amongst
them
all
,
of
all
sorts
hath
beene
least
regarded
.
The
consciences
of
some
particular
persons
,
sealed
with
the
true
seales
of
peace
and
puritie
,
to
their
owne
euerlasting
comfort
,
and
the
sensible
good
of
their
fellow-members
remaining
,
haue
left
to
posteritie
notable
markes
of
their
godly
deuotion
;
〈…〉
followed
.
This
〈…〉
dooers
,
agrees
well
〈…〉
,
where
(
euery
〈…〉
according
to
the
workes
hee
hath
done
in
his
bodie
)
it
is
said
,
few
shall
bee
saued
.
Indeed
it
is
not
to
be
meruailed
at
,
that
Charitie
waxeth
cold
in
these
times
,
where
Auatice
hath
gotten
the
vpper
hand
;
Christ
himselfe
long
since
prophecying
,
that
towards
the
end
of
the
World
it
should
bee
so
.
All
States
generally
are
corrupted
:
each
man
preferring
his
owne
priuate
interest
,
before
the
common
care
of
his
distressed
brethren
;
not
measuring
any
thing
,
but
by
the
rule
of
his
owne
profit
.
To
insist
longer
vpon
these
common
places
would
bee
ouer-tedious
to
the
Reader
;
and
not
much
auaileable
,
but
rather
hurtfull
,
as
wherein
he
may
behold
the
Worlds
miserable
thrift
,
and
so
become
a
sectator
thereof
,
whilest
in
the
meane
while
hee
make
shipwracke
of
his
Conscience
,
and
hazard
the
perdition
of
Heauen
and
his
owne
Soule
.
Let
vs
therefore
walke
into
the
Valley
of
Lillies
,
where
Christ
with
his
true
and
euerlasting
delights
is
ready
to
entertaine
vs
.
Herevnto
wishes
alone
auaile
not
;
though
in
themselues
commendable
.
Quiddam
altius
in
desiderio
:
There
is
something
more
to
be
desired
.
With
this
godly
desire
wee
must
ioyne
sanctitie
.
Holinesse
of
life
is
it
,
whereby
wee
are
acceptable
before
God
.
Naturally
wee
are
inclined
,
to
wish
well
to
our
owne
selues
.
Nemo
odit
earnem
suam
.
But
to
this
well-being
,
well-doing
is
required
.
Quid
oportet
me
facere
,
was
well
propounded
by
that
Holy
Conuertite
in
the
Actes
;
What
must
I
doe
,
to
attaine
euerlasting
life
?
For
to
this
end
by
the
free
grace
of
God
we
are
deliuered
from
the
bondage
of
Sinne
and
Death
,
That
wee
may
serue
him
in
holinesse
.
Surely
the
yoke
of
the
old
Law
was
insupportable
;
in
respect
of
flesh
:
yet
that
yoke
was
not
so
taken
off
by
our
Sauiour
,
that
we
should
thinke
our selues
free
from
all
manner
of
yoke
.
Iugum
meum
dulce
&
leue
,
My
yoke
is
sweet
and
light
;
yet
a
yoke
.
Hee
that
sustaines
the
World
,
beares
part
with
vs
:
therefore
an
easie
yoke
.
As
easie
notwithstanding
as
it
is
,
few
vndergoe
it
.
How
culpable
therefore
the
most
part
of
Mankinde
is
,
in
refusing
to
be
coupled
in
this
sweet
yoke
,
and
to
draw
together
with
Christ
,
who
beares
the
heauiest
part
thereof
,
it
is
more
than
to
be
lamented
.
Not
a
fountaine
,
but
an
Ocean
of
teares
,
is
here
to
be
desired
;
to
wash
away
this
guilt
.
Ex
fructibus
,
by
their
fruits
you
shall
know
them
,
is
the
Cognisance
,
whereby
the
good
are
discerned
from
the
bad
:
the
surest
marke
of
all
others
,
whereby
either
God
,
or
Sathan
may
claime
their
owne
.
If
therefore
wee
would
be
accounted
and
taken
for
the
true
seruants
of
God
,
we
must
weare
his
cognisance
:
wee
must
labour
to
make
our
Election
sure
,
by
bringing
forth
such
fruits
,
as
proceed
from
a
faith
working
by
Loue
.
But
this
Badge
is
so
seldome
seene
among
vs
,
as
it
may
well
be
supposed
,
that
God
hath
heere
but
a
very
few
seruants
.
Let
vs
desire
the
Almightie
for
his
great
Loue
to
Mankinde
,
that
hee
will
more
and
more
kindle
the
small
sparke
of
Charitie
that
is
amongst
vs
,
that
it
may
breake
forth
into
a
bright
flame
of
brotherly
loue
,
and
wholly
involue
vs
in
the
zeale
of
Gods
House
.
Then
may
wee
ioyfully
burne
incense
to
the
GOD
of
Israel
,
and
offer
vp
our
vowes
without
feare
.
For
the
mercifull
man
hath
cast
his
bread
vpon
many
waters
:
and
the
Lord
hath
assured
him
a
reward
.
Now
it
is
time
to
commend
to
posteritie
,
the
due
praises
of
that
truely
worthy
and
neuer
to
bee
forgotten
Gentleman
,
Maister
Thomas
Sutton
,
the
right
Phoenix
of
Charitie
in
our
times
:
who
mounting
vp
to
the
highest
top
of
Gods
holy
Hill
,
and
gathering
together
the
Aromaticall
spices
of
Loue
and
Compassion
,
hath
consumed
himselfe
in
the
fire
of
feruent
zeale
towards
Gods
poore
Saints
,
who
setting
all
worldly
respects
,
eyther
of
Alliance
or
Consanguinitie
,
farre
behinde
his
Loue
to
God
and
his
poore
brethren
in
Christ
,
hath
made
them
(
in
effect
)
the
Heyres
of
all
those
great
riches
,
wherewith
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
blesse
him
.
This
godly
Act
of
his
hath
herein
especially
approoued
it selfe
,
for
that
hee
neuer
stucke
at
any
cost
,
nor
let
slip
any
occasion
,
which
might
further
,
or
establish
it
,
to
the
benefit
of
the
poore
people
.
The
greatnesse
of
the
gift
,
and
the
religious
care
taken
for
confirmation
thereof
,
with
the
pious
forwardnes
of
our
good
Soueraigne
in
the
advancement
of
so
good
a
Worke
;
are
at
large
set

a
more

other
notable

a
Reuerend

famous

and
learned
Iudge
of
this
Land
:
whereunto
,
when
it
shall
be
published
,
I
referre
the
courteous
Reader
for
his
more
ample
satisfaction
.
In
the
meane
time
briefly
take
this
.
The
late
dissolued
Charter-house
by
Smithfield
,
not
long
since
belonging
to
the
Right
Honourable
Thomas
Earle
of
Suffolke
,
Lord
Chamberlaine
of
the
Kings
houshold
,
is
well
knowne
to
bee
a
very
large
and
goodly
Mansion
;
beautified
with
spacious
Gardens
,
Walkes
,
Orchards
,
and
other

;
enriched
with
diuers
dependencies
of
Lands
and
Tenements
therevnto
belonging
,
and
very
fitly
seated
for
wholesome
ayre
,
and
many
other
commodities
.
This
commodiousness
of
syte
,
and
largenesse
of
circuite
,
gaue
occasion
to
this
worthily
renowned
Gentleman
Maister
Sutton
,
to
affect
this
House
,
as
the
onely
fit
place
,
wherein
to
lay
the
foundation
of
his
Religious
desseignes
.
For
hee
had
before
that
time
a
setled
determination
to
erect
an
House
in
Hallingbury
Bouchers
in
the
Countie
of
Essex
,
to
be
an
Hospitall
for
such
poore
Men
and
Children
as
Hee
himselfe
in
his
life
time
,
or
the
future
Gouernours
of
the
same
Hospitall
,
should
nominate
and
appoint
to
bee
lodged
and
relieued
there
:
As
also
for
a
Schoole-Maister
and
Vsher
to
teach
the
Children
to
reade
and
write
,
and
instruct
them
in
their
Latine
and
Greeke
Grammar
:
for
a
Diuine
likewise
,
to
preach
the
Word
of
God
vnto
them
all
,
and
for
one
Maister
to
gouerne
all
those
people
belonging
to
that
House
.
And
to
that
end
&
purpose
,
He
had
,
vpon
earnest
Petition
,
procured
himselfe
ability
by
Vertue
of
an
Act
of
Parliament
,
begun
&
holden
by
prorogation
therof
at
Westminster
in
the
Countie
of
Middlesex
the
9.
day
of
February
in
the
seuenth
yeare
of
his
Maiesties
raigne
ouer
England
,
&c.
and
there
continued
to
the
24.
day
of
Iuly
then
next
following
.
To
erect
&
build
in
the
said
Towne
of
Hallingbury
Bouchers
such
an
house
for
an
Hospital
,
as
is
immediately
before
remembred
:
and
that
the
said
House
should
be
called
The
Hospitall
of
King
Iames
,
founded
in
Hallingbury
in
the
Countie
of
Essex
,
at
the
humble
Petition
,
and
at
the
onely
costs
and
charges
of
Thomas
Sutton
Esquire
.
And
that
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
that
then
was
,
and
other
Reuerend
Praelats
of
this
Realm
,
and
their
Successors
in
their
seuerall
Seas
,
the
right
Honorable
Thomas
Lord
Ellesmere
,
Lord
Chancellor
of
England
,
and
such
as
should
succeed
after
him
to
be
Lo:
Chancellors
or
L
:
Keepers
of
the
Great
Seale
of
England
,
the
Lord
Treasurer
that
then
was
,
&
those
that
should
succeed
in
that
Office
,
with
diuers
other
select
persons
both
of
the
Clergie
and
Laity
,
in
such
manner
as
you
shall
find
them
set
downe
in
the
said
Volume
of
Reports
whereunto
I
referre
you
,
were
by
the
said
Act
of
Parliament
elected
,
nominated
,
and
appointed
the
first
and
present
Gouernours
of
the
Lands
,
possessions
,
reuenues
,
and
goods
of
the
said
Hospitall
.
But
afterwards
,
vpon
more
mature
deliberation
,
finding
this
great
Mansion
of
the
Charterhouse
,
farre
more
conuenient
for
his
purpose
,
then
that
of
Hallingburie
could
bee
,
Hee
was
an
earnest
sutor
to
my
Lord
of
Suffolk
to
buy
that
House
of
him
:
acquainting
his
Lordship
with
the
change
of
his
minde
concerning
Hallingburie
,
and
his
great
affection
to
make
the
Charter-house
his
Hospitall
.
To
this
Petition
of
his
,
it
is
not
to
bee
doubted
,
but
that
my
Lord
gaue
the
more
ready
and
willing
way
:
because
the
chiefe
end
thereof
was
the
glorie
of
God
,
and
the
reliefe
and
comfort
of
a
great
number
of
poore
people
.
Long
the
matter
was
not
debated
betweene
them
:
but
the
price
being
concluded
,
the
Bargaine
and
sale
was
assured
.
The
summe
disbursed
for
this
purchase
,
came
to
thirteene
thousand
pounds
:
which
was
paid
down
in
hand
,
before
the
conueyance
was
sealed
.
Hauing
thus
assured
the
state
of
this
great
House
to
him
,
and
his
Heyres
,
He
makes
humble
suite
to
his
Maiestie
,
to
grant
him
licence
to
erect
and
establish
his
intended
Hospitall
and
Grammat
Schoole
,
and
other
his
godly
&
charitable
vses
,
in
the
said
late
dissolued
Charterhouse
;
as
in
a
more
commodious
place
,
then
that
of
Hallingbury
.
Herevnto
the
King
readily
yeelded
;
being
graciously
affected
to
so
charitable
a
worke
.
The
better
therfore
to
encourage
and
enable
this
Heroicall
Gentleman
,
to
prosequute
this
good
minde
to
the
full
perfection
;

his

out

Royall
disposition
,
to

his

thereby

But
alas
,
what
perpetuity
can
bee
looked
for
in
this
world
;
where
there
is
no
certainty
but
of
change
.
In
this
great
expectation
of
all
men
,
whilest
our
eyes
and
mindes
are
occupied
with
admiration
of
the
Worke
,
Death
steales
away
,
the
Master
workeman
:
but
not
vnprouided
;
as
hauing
his
Viaticum
sealed
vp
vnto
him
in
the
peace
of
a
good
conscience
.
Many
prayers
of
the
Saint
went
vp
before
him
,
to
prepare
a
place
for
him
against
the
day
of
his
dissolution
:
and
the
corruptible
Mammon
,
which
he
had
here
imployed
to
the
reliefe
of
Gods
seruants
in
Earth
,
begot
him
friends
to
entertaine
him
in
heauen
.
So
he
fell
asleepe
in
the
Lord
:
leauing
the
rest
of
his
pious
intendments
,
to
bee
performed
by
his
trustie
Executors
,
Master
Richard
Sutton
,
and
Maister
Iohn
Lawe
.
Behold
,
here
a
perfect
Israelite
!
This
is
a
good
worke
:
but
he
hath
not
set
his
rest
on
this
onely
.
He
hath
growne
vp
from
faith
to
faith
,
to
the
accomplishment
of
many
other
singular
workes
of
Charitie
:
whereof
his
last
Will
and
Testament
giues
such
abundant
testimonie
,
that
it
needs
no
other
splendour
than
it selfe
.
Vpon
this
respect
,
I
will
make
no
other
Proeme
to
it
,
than
a
gentle
inuitation
to
the
Reader
to
peruse
it
;
lest
otherwise
I
might
seeme
to
shew
the
Sunne
at
Noone
Day
;
or
perswade
credit
,
to
apparent
demonstration
.
Thus
it
