A
TREATISE
of
FAITH
;
Which
is
the
foundation
of
Christian
Religion
.
CHAP.
I.
¶
What
ought
to
make
vs
to
esteeme
and
seeke
after
Faith
aboue
all
things
.
THere
is
nothing
ordinarily
that
hath
more
power
and
efficacie
to
stirre
vp
the
desires
and
appetites
of
the
will
of
man
,
then
the
profite
which
he
knoweth
to
be
in
the
thing
that
he
pursueth
:
As
to
the
contrary
there
is
nothing
that
diswadeth
him
more
from
an
enterprise
,
than
the
inconveniences
,
losses
,
and
dammages
which
he
foresees
and
feares
may
happen
vnto
him
in
the
pursute
thereof
;
Because
that
naturally
men
are
enclined
to
desire
and
seeke
after
their
profit
and
advantage
in
all
things
.
Now
in
all
that
man
can
thinke
on
or
jmagine
in
this
world
,
there
is
nothing
that
is
more
,
nor
so
profitable
nor
healthfull
vnto
him
,
as
is
the
true
Faith
,
for
many
reasons
;
of
the
which
,
to
avoyde
prolixity
,
I
will
onely
touch
three
.
The
first
shall
be
,
that
without
faith
(
as
saith
the
Apostle
)
it
is
jmpossible
to
please
God
;
Iob
,
Peter
,
Paul
,
and
other
Apostles
,
and
in
all
the
Saints
that
ever
were
:
The
which
by
how
much
they
haue
been
more
tempted
,
they
haue
by
so
much
the
more
profited
in
the
knowledge
and
feare
of
God
;
as
sayth
the
Prophet
speaking
of
the
faithfull
man
.
Vnto
the
righteous
ariseth
light
in
darknes
;
he
is
mercifull
and
full
of
compassion
and
righteousnes
.
This
grace
bringeth
vs
also
a
sufficiency
,
as
Iesus
Christ
sayth
to
to
the
Apostle
:
That
his
grace
ought
to
suffice
him
.
The
Lord
is
the
portion
of
mine
inheritance
,
and
of
my
cup
,
thou
shalt
maintaine
my
lot
.
The
lines
are
fallen
vnto
mee
in
pleasant
places
,
I
haue
a
faire
heritage
.
And
elsewhere
.
O
Lord
that
art
my
portion
,
I
haue
determined
to
keepe
thy
word
.
Seeing
then
that
faith
puts
vs
in
possession
of
our
GOD
,
Now
to
assure
vs
yet
farther
of
that
which
is
spoken
,
As
we
haue
heard
so
haue
wee
seene
in
the
Citie
of
the
Lord
of
Hostes
,
in
the
Citie
of
our
God
,
God
will
stablish
it
for
euer
.
God
is
in
the
middest
thereof
,
therefore
shall
it
not
be
mooued
:
God
shall
helpe
it
verie
early
.
Blessed
is
he
whome
thou
choosest
and
causest
to
come
to
thee
,
he
shall
dwell
in
thy
courts
,
and
wee
shall
be
satisfied
with
the
pleasures
of
thine
house
,
euen
of
thine
holie
Temple
.
The
third
reason
which
ought
greatly
to
recommend
faith
vnto
vs
,
is
that
,
as
we
cannot
be
agreeable
to
God
without
it
,
as
we
haue
shewed
;
Socrates
,
Licurgus
,
Epaminondas
,
Aristides
,
Phocian
,
both
the
Catoes
,
and
diuers
others
,
and
neverthelesse
all
that
which
seemed
resplendant
in
them
,
was
but
a
maske
and
false
visard
of
vertue
.
For
even
as
a
flower
painted
vpon
a
wall
,
hath
the
forme
and
colour
of
a
flower
,
but
not
the
life
,
the
beauty
,
and
the
sweetnesse
;
Like
also
as
a
fire
painted
on
a
board
hath
the
forme
therof
,
but
not
the
light
nor
the
heat
;
also
all
the
vertues
that
were
in
these
great
jllustrious
personages
,
were
all
but
shadows
and
shews
of
vertue
.
And
as
no
meat
how
exquisite
soever
it
be
,
hath
any
tast
or
savour
if
it
be
not
seasoned
with
some
salt
;
also
the
patience
of
Socrates
,
the
justice
of
Aristides
,
the
piety
of
Epaminondas
,
the
constancie
of
Phocion
,
being
not
seasoned
with
Faith
,
was
but
vnsavoury
.
And
such
personages
sayth
S.
Austin
did
resemble
a
liuely
horse
,
that
trots
well
and
vseth
his
joynts
nimbly
,
but
is
out
of
his
way
;
for
the
more
he
goeth
forward
,
the
more
hee
looseth
himselfe
;
So
such
people
being
not
in
the
way
which
God
hath
appoyn●ed
and
taught
in
his
Law
,
although
they
may
seeme
to
runne
and
gallop
well
:
neverthelesse
,
to
be
short
,
they
did
nothing
but
stray
and
goe
farre
from
their
dutie
,
having
not
chosen
the
way
that
they
must
follow
,
nor
the
end
whereto
they
must
tend
,
which
is
the
cause
for
the
which
that
good
Father
sayd
in
many
places
,
that
the
vertues
that
were
in
them
(
beeing
destitute
of
Faith
)
were
reputed
for
sinnes
before
God
,
grounding
his
speech
vppon
that
which
the
Apostle
writeth
to
the
Romans
.
All
that
is
done
without
Faith
,
CHAP.
II.
¶
A
diuision
of
the
kinds
of
Faith
,
wherof
mention
is
made
in
the
Scripture
.
THis
word
of
Faith
in
the
scripture
is
not
alwaies
to
bee
taken
in
one
sence
,
nor
in
one
signification
;
which
must
bee
noted
,
to
the
end
that
those
that
read
the
woord
of
God
bee
not
deceaved
by
the
antiquity
and
equivocation
of
this
word
,
the
which
is
found
to
be
alledged
in
six
sundry
sorts
,
wherof
fiue
are
vaine
,
and
the
last
onely
is
true
.
Now
the
first
kind
is
the
Faith
which
some
men
call
historicall
,
the
which
is
nothing
else
but
the
simple
knowledge
of
the
things
spoken
of
in
the
Scriptures
,
as
well
of
the
old
as
of
the
new
Testament
.
The
which
knowledge
onely
is
not
sufficient
to
make
a
man
faithfull
,
for
we
see
that
the
Rabbines
among
the
Iewes
haue
great
knowledge
in
texts
of
the
Scripture
,
and
some
true
jntelligence
of
many
places
thereof
,
the
which
neverthelesse
are
not
reputed
faithfull
for
all
that
.
In
the
Papistry
likewise
wee
see
many
Monckes
and
Doctors
of
Sorbonne
,
and
of
other
Vniversities
,
that
can
well
alleadge
and
compare
divers
places
of
holy
Scripture
in
their
sermons
and
writings
,
the
which
most
an
end
they
pull
(
as
it
is
sayd
)
by
the
haires
,
to
make
them
to
serue
for
proofe
and
confirmation
of
their
errours
and
lyes
.
Nevertheles
they
are
so
farre
from
being
faithfull
,
that
there
are
no
people
more
contrary
nor
more
enemies
to
the
true
Faith
of
Iesus
Christ
,
nor
that
do
resist
and
fight
with
greater
furie
and
courage
against
the
Evangelicall
verity
,
then
they
.
It
is
not
then
jnough
to
read
the
holy
Scriptures
,
to
remember
that
which
is
therein
spoken
of
,
for
to
ground
a
firme
Faith
,
by
the
which
we
may
be
justified
in
the
judgement
of
God
,
and
be
agreeable
vnto
him
.
The
second
kind
is
of
those
that
haue
a
faith
like
vnto
that
of
Divels
;
Arius
,
Macedonius
,
Valentine
,
Marcion
,
Apollinaris
,
Nestorius
,
Eutiches
,
and
divers
others
,
had
the
Scriptures
in
hand
,
which
they
did
pervert
and
corrupt
,
being
jnduced
therevnto
by
the
evill
spirit
,
who
vrged
them
,
and
made
them
obstinate
,
the
which
although
they
were
in
the
Church
,
marked
with
the
Baptisme
of
Iesus
Christ
,
exercised
in
the
texts
of
the
Bible
it selfe
,
provided
with
Ecclesiasticall
charge
.
Nevertheles
let
not
to
be
wicked
and
vnbeleevers
,
as
also
the
Apostle
calleth
them
Apostates
,
and
straglers
from
the
faith
.
Caine
,
Sem
,
and
Iudas
.
The
third
is
the
faith
of
Myracles
,
whereof
mention
is
made
in
S.
Mathew
,
If
I
haue
all
faith
,
so
that
I
can
remooue
Mountaines
,
and
haue
not
charitie
,
I
am
nothing
.
Which
he
would
not
say
of
a
true
faith
,
the
which
maketh
a
man
the
child
of
God
,
and
a
member
of
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
Citizens
of
heavenly
Cittie
;
It
is
also
spoken
of
in
the
2.
Epistle
to
the
Thessalonians
,
Then
shall
the
wicked
bee
reuealed
whome
the
Lord
shall
consume
with
the
spirit
of
his
mouth
,
and
shall
destroye
with
the
brightnesse
of
his
comming
:
Euen
him
whose
comming
is
after
the
working
of
Satan
,
in
all
power
and
signes
and
woonders
of
lying
,
and
in
all
deceauablenes
of
vnrighteousnes
,
in
them
that
perish
,
because
they
receaued
not
the
loue
of
the
truth
,
that
they
might
be
saued
,
which
sheweth
jnough
that
faith
and
the
facultie
to
doe
miracles
,
is
not
alwayes
jnoyned
with
the
Spirit
of
regeneration
and
sanctification
;
for
Iudas
who
was
of
the
nomber
of
the
Apostles
,
had
that
power
to
doe
miracles
,
although
that
Iesus
Christ
saith
of
him
that
he
was
a
Divell
.
The
fourth
kind
of
Fith
,
whereof
is
spoken
in
the
Scripture
is
a
Temporall
faith
,
wherewith
those
men
were
prouided
for
a
while
,
of
whome
mention
is
made
in
St.
Luke
,
That
he
beleeued
and
was
baptized
;
fell
backe
and
returned
to
their
vomit
,
like
vnto
the
Dog
;
and
to
wallow
themselues
in
their
filthines
,
like
vnto
the
Sowe
;
CHAP.
III.
¶
Of
true
Faith
by
the
which
Christians
are
iustified
,
which
is
the
sixt
and
last
kind
of
Faith
.
BEfore
we
enter
into
the
diffinition
of
the
true
Faith
,
which
justifieth
him
that
hath
it
,
we
must
take
our
subject
a
little
higher
,
and
declare
what
is
the
office
and
dutie
of
a
christian
man
;
which
is
to
know
what
hee
ought
to
wayt
for
from
God
,
and
what
God
requireth
of
him
.
That
which
the
faithfull
wayt
for
from
God
,
is
their
salvation
&
everlasting
life
.
That
God
which
requireth
of
him
,
is
a
trust
in
his
goodnes
,
a
feare
of
his
Majestie
,
and
an
obedience
to
his
will
.
The
which
three
things
are
taught
him
by
the
word
of
God
,
the
which
being
divided
into
three
parts
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
promises
,
the
commandements
,
and
the
threatnings
;
by
the
promises
,
it
teacheth
the
Christian
man
to
trust
in
God
,
and
vppon
him
to
set
all
his
hope
,
and
to
wayt
from
him
all
comfort
,
ayde
,
and
blessing
in
all
his
affayres
and
necessities
;
and
by
the
commandements
teacheth
him
,
what
obedience
he
ought
to
render
to
God
,
and
the
readinesse
and
great
care
which
he
ought
to
shew
therein
;
and
by
the
threatnings
,
the
feare
which
he
should
haue
to
offend
him
,
and
to
doe
or
commit
any
thing
that
may
displease
him
.
Now
Faith
sets
before
it selfe
these
three
kinds
of
words
.
And
even
as
the
object
of
the
sight
is
the
colour
,
and
the
sound
is
the
object
to
the
hearing
,
also
the
object
of
Faith
is
the
word
of
God
,
the
which
it
looketh
vppon
continually
,
ayming
at
it
as
at
a
marke
,
and
thereto
bending
her
whole
sight
,
and
her
jntention
,
from
the
which
word
shee
can
never
so
little
stray
,
but
shee
must
loose
her selfe
,
because
that
to
bee
sure
,
shee
must
of
necessity
rest
vpon
a
word
that
is
certaine
,
and
such
a
one
as
is
the
only
word
of
God
.
Therefore
is
it
that
honest
folkes
doe
with
good
right
condemne
the
faith
of
Papists
,
who
depend
altogether
of
the
Pope
,
and
beleeue
jndifferently
all
that
hee
sayth
vnto
them
and
all
that
he
teacheth
them
.
Because
that
beeing
a
lying
and
variable
man
,
filled
with
jgnorance
,
as
are
others
,
it
cannot
be
but
his
word
and
his
doctrine
must
bee
doubtfull
and
subject
to
warranties
.
But
the
Christian
Faith
which
is
assayled
in
so
many
sorts
,
and
which
hath
so
many
assaults
to
withstand
,
and
so
many
devises
to
prevent
,
hath
great
need
to
bee
vpheld
by
a
word
that
is
firme
,
and
which
cannot
bee
easily
shooke
with
all
the
temptations
wherewith
it
is
assayled
.
Then
for
to
know
what
Christian
Faith
is
,
it
is
needfull
to
giue
a
breefe
and
succinct
definition
thereof
.
CHAP.
IIII.
¶
A
definition
of
Faith
.
THe
Christian
Faith
is
a
certaine
knowledge
and
firme
perswasion
,
which
the
elect
by
the
vertue
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
haue
every
one
in
themselues
,
of
the
vndoubted
verity
of
all
the
things
contayned
in
the
word
of
God
,
as
well
in
the
old
as
in
the
new
Testament
,
joyned
with
a
true
and
perfect
trust
of
their
salvarion
,
propounded
vnto
them
in
the
Evangelicall
promise
by
the
grace
of
God
,
and
ratyfied
by
the
satisfaction
made
for
their
sinnes
vnto
his
justice
,
by
the
death
and
obedience
of
his
sonne
,
in
their
name
;
wherevppon
followeth
in
their
hearts
a
perpetuall
joye
and
consolation
,
and
an
assurance
against
all
dangers
and
temptations
,
and
a
resolued
will
to
walke
before
his
face
,
and
to
acknowledge
towards
him
all
their
life
time
so
great
a
benefit
,
by
a
loue
,
feare
,
and
obedience
which
they
vowe
vnto
him
,
and
doe
striue
to
render
him
for
ever
.
The
which
definition
we
must
now
declare
in
particulars
.
We
say
first
,
that
Faith
is
a
certaine
knowledge
of
the
word
of
God
,
What
can
a
Booke
profit
a
man
if
it
be
shut
,
or
if
it
bee
open
,
and
bee
in
an
vnknowen
tongue
,
and
not
vndestood
?
It
cannot
profit
him
no
more
then
the
light
of
the
Sun
at
noone
day
doth
to
a
blind
man
,
and
to
a
man
that
hath
no
eyes
,
to
apprehend
it
.
Wherefore
the
elect
must
be
very
curious
in
searching
,
hearing
,
reading
,
and
meditating
of
the
word
of
God
,
which
are
the
meanes
to
haue
the
knowledge
thereof
.
Iesus
Christ
also
exhorteth
euery
one
of
vs
thervnto
,
when
he
saith
,
Search
the
Scriptures
which
maketh
sufficient
testimony
of
me
.
And
S.
Paul
conformably
,
where
he
saith
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Romaines
,
That
all
that
which
is
written
is
written
for
our
comfort
.
And
in
the
2.
Epistle
to
Timothie
,
That
all
Scripture
diuinely
inspired
,
is
profitable
to
teach
,
to
exhort
,
counsaile
and
reprooue
,
and
to
make
a
man
perfect
in
good
workes
.
Wherefore
God
did
also
command
every
one
in
times
past
,
That
hee
should
write
his
Law
vpon
the
postes
of
his
house
,
and
in
all
places
,
where
it
might
continually
shew
it selfe
before
their
eyes
,
to
the
end
that
contemplating
it
assidually
they
should
by
that
meanes
haue
a
desire
to
loue
it
,
and
to
shut
it
vp
in
their
hearts
,
and
in
their
vnderstandings
.
Whereof
wee
see
a
good
example
in
Dauid
,
who
speaking
of
the
Law
and
word
of
God
,
sayd
thus
;
Thy
testimonies
haue
I
taken
as
an
heritage
for
euer
:
for
they
are
the
ioye
of
mine
heart
.
Thy
woord
is
a
Lanthorne
vnto
my
feet
and
a
light
vnto
my
pathes
.
It
followeth
in
the
definition
,
that
it
is
a
firme
perswasion
of
that
which
is
contained
in
Scriptures
:
Because
that
to
beleeue
,
it
is
not
jnough
that
wee
know
the
things
contained
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
but
wee
must
also
approone
it
without
any
doubting
;
and
not
resemble
the
Accademiques
,
who
are
jrresolute
of
all
the
things
which
they
read
or
which
are
read
vnto
them
,
and
yet
lesse
to
the
Atheists
,
who
doe
openly
mocke
at
the
woord
of
God
,
whereof
they
make
yet
lesse
account
,
then
of
the
other
Sciences
,
the
which
they
thinke
are
grounded
vpon
some
humane
reason
.
It
followeth
.
That
the
Elect
,
&c.
Expresse
mention
is
made
of
the
Elect
in
the
definition
,
because
it
is
onely
they
and
no
other
that
are
capable
of
Faith
,
as
it
is
written
in
the
first
chapter
which
the
Apostle
Paul
writ
to
his
Disciple
Titus
,
where
it
is
sayd
.
Paul
the
seruant
of
God
,
and
an
Apostle
of
Iesus
Christ
,
according
to
the
faith
of
the
Elect
of
God
,
and
the
knowledge
of
the
turth
which
is
according
to
godlynesse
.
Whereby
it
appeares
that
Faith
doth
onely
appertaine
to
those
that
from
all
eternity
haue
been
elected
and
chosen
of
God
,
and
since
by
him
separated
from
the
world
,
to
be
brought
vnto
the
Church
,
and
by
degrees
to
attaine
to
the
possession
of
glory
and
everlasting
life
,
the
which
God
from
the
beginning
hath
promised
and
prepared
for
his
children
.
The
which
may
also
appeare
by
that
which
is
written
in
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
where
it
is
sayd
,
that
S.
Paul
having
preached
in
Antioch
of
Pisidie
,
his
sheepe
heare
his
voyce
,
and
that
all
that
his
Father
hath
giuen
him
,
come
vnto
him
;
sheweth
thereby
,
that
those
onely
heare
and
beleeue
the
Gospell
,
who
haue
beene
predestinated
,
and
since
created
and
called
to
this
end
.
S.
Iohn
also
in
his
Catholicke
chapter
4.
confirmes
it
saying
That
those
onely
beleeue
the
word
of
God
that
are
of
God
,
that
is
to
say
,
whome
he
hath
ordayned
and
destinate
to
that
end
.
When
also
Iesus
Christ
speaking
to
Pylate
of
his
kingdome
,
of
the
which
he
was
examined
,
sayd
,
That
his
kingdome
was
not
of
this
world
,
and
that
all
that
were
of
the
truth
were
his
,
and
heard
his
voyce
,
giveth
sufficiently
to
vnderstand
therby
,
that
vnto
all
grace
is
not
jndifferently
given
to
yeeld
themselues
docible
and
attentiue
to
heare
,
beleeue
and
follow
the
truth
,
but
onely
to
those
that
God
the
Father
hath
disposed
therevnto
;
and
the
reason
for
the
which
Iesus
Christ
said
,
That
he
was
come
into
the
world
not
to
be
serued
,
but
to
serue
,
and
to
deliuer
vp
his
life
to
paye
the
ransome
of
many
:
sheweth
that
sufficiently
,
for
when
he
sayth
many
,
he
sheweth
therby
that
his
death
is
not
for
all
,
which
it
should
be
neverthelesse
,
if
by
Faith
every
one
could
apprehend
it
.
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Israell
for
he
hath
visited
and
redeemed
his
people
.
Wherevpon
is
to
bee
noted
that
he
speaketh
specially
of
his
people
;
that
is
to
say
,
of
those
whome
he
hath
elected
,
and
reserued
to
himselfe
particularly
,
and
not
of
all
in
generall
.
Considering
what
hath
been
sayd
,
that
there
are
none
but
the
Elect
that
are
capeable
of
Faith
,
we
must
not
wonder
if
we
see
so
many
despisers
of
the
word
of
God
,
which
is
the
word
of
life
,
and
Science
of
Salvation
,
others
that
hate
and
abhorre
it
as
a
savour
of
death
;
others
that
blaspheme
and
persecute
it
cruelly
with
fier
and
water
,
and
all
the
cruellest
and
most
horrible
torments
that
they
can
jnvent
or
jmagine
.
Also
on
the
other
side
we
must
not
maruaile
,
if
wee
see
the
Elect
,
after
they
haue
receaued
and
beleeued
the
word
of
God
,
the
which
hath
taken
deep
roote
in
them
,
to
be
firme
&
constant
against
all
temptations
,
and
jnvincible
against
all
the
sleights
,
threatnings
,
and
promises
that
can
bee
made
them
,
to
divert
and
turne
them
from
the
Faith
,
which
God
by
his
spirit
hath
jnspired
and
continued
in
their
hearts
.
It
followeth
in
the
definition
.
Every
one
in
themselues
,
which
haue
been
jnsorted
to
giue
to
vnderstand
that
every
one
ought
to
haue
his
Faith
proper
and
particular
,
for
to
apprehend
Iesus
Christ
with
all
his
graces
and
blessings
,
and
to
enjoye
the
effect
and
accomplishment
of
the
gratious
and
Evangelicall
promises
,
as
writeth
the
Prophet
.
That
the
iust
shall
liue
by
his
faith
,
By
which
Iesus
Christ
wee
haue
boldnesse
and
and
entrance
in
with
confidence
by
Faith
vnto
him
.
Also
in
the
Epistle
to
Hebrews
chap.
4.
All
the
faithfull
are
exhorted
to
goe
with
boldnesse
vnto
the
throne
of
grace
,
that
we
may
obtaine
mercy
,
and
find
grace
to
helpe
in
the
time
of
need
.
Iesus
Christ
also
in
S.
Iohn
exhorting
the
Apostle
to
beleeue
in
him
,
That
who
so
euer
beleeueth
in
God
shall
neuer
bee
confounded
.
It
ought
not
to
be
vnderstood
only
of
the
knowledge
which
we
ought
to
haue
of
the
certainty
and
verity
of
the
doctrine
and
word
pronounced
and
preached
;
but
also
of
the
trust
vnto
the
which
such
a
knowledge
doth
conduct
vs
,
to
referre
our selues
with
all
our
affayres
,
to
God
,
and
to
his
providence
.
Which
Dauid
teacheth
vs
in
many
places
,
as
in
the
2.
Psalme
,
where
hee
exhorteth
the
Princes
and
great
Lords
to
do
homage
to
Iesus
Christ
,
saying
,
Serue
the
Lord
in
feare
,
&
reioyce
in
trembling
,
Kisse
the
Sonne
least
he
be
angry
,
and
yee
perish
in
the
way
,
when
his
wrath
shall
suddainly
burne
.
Blessed
are
all
they
that
trust
in
him
.
And
in
the
3.
Psalme
at
the
end
thereof
,
Saluation
belongeth
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
thy
blessing
is
vpon
thy
people
.
And
in
the
5.
Psalme
,
And
let
all
them
that
trust
in
thee
reioyce
and
triumph
for
euer
,
and
couer
thou
them
.
And
in
the
32
Psalme
,
Many
sorrows
shall
come
to
the
wicked
:
but
he
that
trusteth
in
the
Lord
,
mercy
shall
compasse
him
.
And
in
the
25
Psalme
,
Let
me
not
be
confounded
.
I
trust
in
thee
:
but
let
them
be
confounded
that
trangresse
without
cause
.
And
in
the
34
Psalme
,
The
Lord
redeemeth
the
soules
of
his
Seruants
:
and
none
that
trust
in
him
shall
perish
.
Wee
may
see
by
these
percels
and
jnfinite
others
which
are
in
the
Scripture
,
that
this
terme
of
Faith
is
not
simply
taken
onely
for
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
of
the
word
of
God
;
but
principally
for
the
trust
,
hope
,
and
assurance
which
we
have
of
the
effect
of
the
promises
of
God
,
of
his
grace
and
favour
,
of
the
loue
and
affection
which
he
beareth
vs
,
and
of
his
care
of
vs
,
and
of
all
our
affaires
to
conduct
them
happily
,
according
as
our
good
and
salvation
requireth
.
It
followeth
that
this
Faith
is
propounded
vnto
them
in
the
Evangelicall
promise
by
the
grace
of
God
.
Wherevpon
we
must
note
two
things
;
first
that
the
subject
and
principal
foundation
,
vpon
the
which
Faith
is
built
,
is
not
the
Law
,
nor
the
commandements
which
propound
nothing
else
but
a
curse
vpon
those
that
transgresse
them
,
nor
yet
the
threatnings
which
propound
nothing
but
the
wrath
of
God
to
those
that
withstand
them
,
which
may
rather
affright
and
astonish
,
then
comfort
and
assure
,
wherefore
the
faithfull
man
must
not
haue
a
regard
to
the
Law
,
or
to
threatnings
of
God
,
to
assure
himselfe
of
his
grace
,
and
by
consequent
of
his
salvation
,
which
dependeth
thereon
;
but
he
must
keepe
his
eyes
fixed
vppon
the
promise
of
God
,
which
is
the
ground
and
the
foundation
wherevpon
the
whole
building
and
edifies
of
his
Faith
may
rest
,
and
be
well
vpheld
,
which
is
the
cause
that
the
Apostle
sayth
in
Romaines
the
10.
That
Faith
commeth
by
hearing
,
and
hearing
by
the
word
of
God
:
to
wit
the
woord
of
Faith
,
the
which
was
preached
by
the
Apostles
.
And
in
the
4.
hee
sayth
it
more
expresly
.
Therefore
by
Faith
is
the
Inheritance
giuen
,
that
it
might
be
by
grace
,
that
the
promise
might
be
sure
to
all
the
seed
,
not
to
that
onely
which
is
of
the
Law
,
but
to
that
also
which
is
the
Faith
of
Abraham
,
which
is
the
father
of
vs
all
.
These
two
percels
evidently
shew
that
Faith
regards
principally
the
promise
of
the
grace
,
which
God
offereth
in
his
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
,
to
all
those
that
shal
acknowledge
him
for
their
Saviour
,
and
Mediatour
,
and
we
must
not
seeke
any
other
meanes
wherevppon
to
ground
the
hope
of
our
salvation
;
for
there
is
no
other
name
vnder
Heaven
by
the
which
wee
can
bee
saued
.
The
other
poynt
that
we
must
obserue
,
is
that
,
the
grace
of
God
,
that
is
to
say
,
his
good
will
and
affection
towards
vs
,
is
the
only
cause
that
hath
jnduced
him
,
as
well
to
make
vs
a
promise
of
life
,
as
to
jmpart
the
gift
of
Faith
,
by
the
which
we
embrace
him
.
For
that
he
hath
taken
out
of
our
hearts
the
naturall
hardnesse
and
obstinacy
which
was
therein
,
and
hath
mollyfied
them
,
to
the
end
that
being
tender
and
soft
,
they
might
be
capable
to
receaue
their
promise
to
bee
there
printed
and
jngraven
;
this
proceeds
not
,
nor
comes
of
any
thing
else
than
of
his
onely
grace
and
favour
,
which
it
hath
pleased
him
to
doe
vs
,
as
it
is
written
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Ephesians
,
That
Faith
is
a
gift
of
God
:
and
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Philippians
,
It
hath
beene
giuen
vnto
you
to
beleeue
,
sayd
the
Apostle
vnto
them
.
Also
the
spirit
of
God
is
called
the
spirit
of
Faith
,
in
the
2.
Epistle
to
the
Corinthians
,
The
other
poynt
which
we
must
note
in
the
obedience
of
Iesus
Christ
,
is
the
perfect
and
jntire
observation
of
all
the
commandements
of
God
his
father
,
in
the
which
he
hath
not
left
out
one
only
poynt
,
but
all
hath
been
accomplished
by
him
.
The
which
hee
hath
likewise
done
in
the
name
of
the
elect
,
who
by
reason
of
the
naturall
corruption
and
vice
rayning
in
them
,
were
altogether
vncapable
,
whiles
they
liue
in
this
world
,
to
obserue
the
Law
of
God
,
and
to
render
him
a
perfect
justice
,
the
which
consisteth
in
a
perfect
loue
,
which
they
ought
to
beare
him
;
but
they
cannot
not
knowing
him
perfectly
;
by
reason
●lso
of
the
desires
of
the
flesh
which
are
in
them
,
which
turne
them
from
louing
God
and
their
neighbour
perfectly
,
as
they
are
bound
.
The
third
poynt
or
reason
which
is
to
be
considered
in
the
perfect
obedience
of
Iesus
Christ
,
is
the
ordinary
remission
of
sinnes
,
which
wee
commit
every
day
,
the
which
are
covered
by
his
obedience
;
in
such
sort
,
that
they
come
not
in
accompt
in
his
judgement
.
For
even
so
as
Phyloctetes
covered
the
stinckingnes
of
his
lothsōe
&
infectious
vlcers
,
with
the
perfumed
robes
wherewith
he
clothed
himselfe
;
also
the
elect
being
by
Faith
clothed
with
the
odoriferous
justice
of
Iesus
Christ
,
although
they
were
stincking
in
themselues
,
they
are
neverthelesse
a
good
savour
vnto
God
.
And
even
as
in
the
time
of
the
ancient
people
,
when
walking
by
the
horrible
deserts
of
Arabia
,
it
happened
that
some
one
of
them
were
bitten
by
Serpents
,
to
the
end
that
of
the
poysoned
byt
death
should
not
follow
,
Of
this
obedience
,
vertue
,
and
effect
thereof
is
spoken
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Romaines
,
chap.
5.
verse
19.
As
by
the
disobedience
of
one
man
many
haue
beene
made
sinners
,
also
by
the
obedience
of
one
many
are
made
righteous
.
Also
in
the
2.
Epistle
to
the
Corinthians
chap.
1.
God
was
in
Christ
reconciling
the
world
to
himselfe
,
not
jmputing
their
sinnes
vnto
them
.
Also
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Phillipians
chapter
2.
vers.
7.
He
made
himselfe
of
no
reputation
,
taking
vpon
him
the
forme
of
a
servant
,
and
made
himselfe
in
the
likenesse
of
men
,
and
found
in
figure
as
a
man
,
he
humbled
himselfe
,
made
obedient
to
death
,
even
the
death
of
the
crosse
.
And
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Hebrewes
,
chap.
6.
vers.
11.
Christ
being
become
an
high
Priest
of
good
things
that
should
bee
,
by
a
greater
and
more
perfect
Tabernacle
not
made
with
hands
,
that
is
to
say
,
not
of
his
building
.
Neither
by
the
blood
of
Goates
and
Calues
,
but
by
his
owne
bloud
,
he
entred
once
into
the
holy
place
and
found
eternal
redemption
.
And
in
the
10.
chap.
vers.
8.
having
sayd
before
,
that
sacrifice
and
offering
,
and
burnt
offerings
,
and
offerings
for
sin
thou
wouldst
not
,
neither
hadst
pleasure
therin
,
(
which
are
offered
by
the
Law
.
)
Then
sayth
hee
,
Loe
I
come
to
doe
thy
will
O
God
,
he
taketh
then
the
first
away
,
to
the
end
to
establish
the
second
.
By
the
which
Will
we
are
sanctified
.
To
wit
,
by
the
obligation
once
done
by
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
.
It
followeth
in
the
definiton
,
that
of
this
Faith
there
commeth
forth
of
the
hearts
of
those
that
are
justified
,
a
perpetuall
peace
,
joye
,
and
consolation
.
Which
is
easie
to
be
vnderstood
;
for
it
is
not
possible
that
wee
can
bee
assured
and
perswaded
of
the
grace
of
God
,
and
of
the
remission
of
our
sinnes
,
of
our
salvation
,
and
of
the
everlasting
blessing
,
which
Iesus
Christ
hath
purchased
for
vs
,
also
of
the
justice
,
and
of
the
life
,
and
of
a
certaine
hope
of
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
,
and
of
that
perfect
and
entire
felicity
,
which
there
waytes
for
vs
for
ever
,
that
we
may
feele

shal
be

neither

neither
shall

bee

And
Dauid
in

36.
Psalme
,
How
excellent
is
thy
mercy
,
O
God
?
therefore
the
children
of
men
trust
vnder
the
shadow
of
thy
wings
.
They
shall
be
satisfied
with
the
fatnes
of
thine
house
,
and
thou
shalt
giue
them
drinke
out
of
thy
pleasures
.
It
followeth
in
the
definition
,
that
this
Faith
is
accompanyed
with
assurance
against
all
dangers
and
tentations
.
The
which
is
added
to
jnstruct
the
faithfull
man
,
that
when
by
faith
he
is
vnited
with
God
,
and
receaued
his
protection
and
safegard
,
Who
is
it
shall
hinder
you
,
if
you
follow
that
which
is
good
?
And
S.
Paul
,
Who
shall
lay
any
thing
to
the
charge
of
Gods
chosen
?
It
is
God
that
iustifieth
?
who
is
hee
that
condemneth
?
it
is
Christ
which
dyed
,
yea
rather
which
is
risen
againe
,
which
is
also
on
the
right
hand
of
God
,
and
maketh
intercession
for
vs
,
who
shall
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
Christ
;
shall
tribulation
,
or
anguish
,
or
persecution
;
either
hunger
,
either
nakednesse
,
either
perill
,
either
Sword
?
(
As
it
is
written
,
for
thy
sake
are
wee
killed
all
the
day
long
,
and
are
counted
as
sheepe
to
the
slaughter
)
Neuerthelesse
,
in
all
these
things
we
ouercome
through
him
that
loued
vs
,
for
I
am
sure
that
neither
death
,
nor
life
,
neither
Angels
,
nor
rule
,
neither
power
,
neither
things
present
,
neither
things
to
come
,
neither
height
nor
depth
,
neither
any
other
creature
,
shall
be
able
to
s●parate
vs
from
the
loue
of
God
which
is
in
Christ
Iesus
our
Lord
.
Dauid
also
in
the
27.
Psalme
sayth
.
The
Lord
is
my
light
and
my
saluation
,
whome
shall
I
feare
.
The
Lord
is
the
strength
of
my
life
,
of
whome
shall
I
bee
affraide
.
Though
an
hoast
be
pitched
against
mee
,
I
will
not
bee
affrayd
:
though
warre
be
raysed
against
mee
,
I
will
trust
in
God
.
For
in
my
trouble
hee
shall
me
hyde
in
his
tabernacle
:
in
the
secret
place
of
his
pauillion
shall
he
hide
me
,
and
set
mee
vp
vpon
a
rocke
.
Therefore
will
I
offer
in
his
Tabernacle
sacrifices
of
ioye
:
I
will
sing
and
praise
the
Lord
.
And
in
the
46.
Psalme
,
God
is
our
hope
and
strength
,
and
helpe
in
troubles
is
ready
to
bee
found
.
Therefore
will
wee
not
feare
though
the
earth
bee
mooued
,
and
though
the
mountaines
fall
into
the
middest
of
the
Sea
.
Though
the
waters
thereof
rage
and
bee
troubled
,
and
the
mountaines
shake
at
the
surges
of
the
same
.
And
in
the
121.
Psalme
,
The
Lord
shall
preserue
thee
from
all
euill
:
he
shall
keepe
thy
soule
.
The
Lord
shall
preserue
thy
going
out
,
and
thy
comming
in
from
henceforth
,
and
for
euer
.
It
followeth
in
the
definition
,
that
this
Faith
is
followed
with
a
resolute
will
to
walke
before
his
face
,
which
is
the
end
of
reconciliation
with
God
,
the
which
is
brought
to
passe
by
the
Faith
which
we
haue
in
Iesus
Christ
,
as
it
appeares
by
that
which
is
written
in
the
Epistle
of
S.
Paul
to
Titus
,
There
hath
appeared
the
grace
of
God
which
is
healthfull
to
all
men
;
teaching
vs
that
denying
vngodlynesse
and
worldly
lusts
,
we
should
liue
soberly
,
and
righteously
,
and
godly
in
this
present
world
,
looking
for
that
blessed
hope
and
appearing
of
the
glory
of
the
great
God
and
our
Saviour
Iesus
Christ
.
And
in
Zacharies
Canticle
,
Luke
1.
That
hee
would
performe
the
oath
which
he
sware
to
our
Father
Abraham
for
giue
to
vs
.
That
wee
being
deliuered
out
of
the
hands
of
our
enemies
,
might
serue
him
without
feare
,
in
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
before
him
all
the
dayes
of
our
Life
.
And
in
the
12.
to
the
Romaines
.
I
beseech
you
therefore
brethren
by
the
mercifulnes
of
God
,
that
ye
giue
vp
your
bodies
a
quicke
sacrifice
holy
and
acceptable
vnto
God
,
which
is
your
reasonable
seruice
;
And
be
not
ye
fashioned
like
vnto
this
world
,
but
be
yee
changed
in
your
shapes
by
the
renuing
of
your
minds
,
that
ye
may
proue
what
is
the
good
,
and
the
acceptable
and
perfect
will
of
God
.
And
Dauid
in
the
130.
Psalme
.
But
mercy
is
in
thee
that
thou
mayest
be
feared
.
All
which
passages
,
and
jnfinite
more
that
are
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
shew
vnto
vs
that
the
end
of
our
redemption
is
not
to
giue
vs
leaue
and
licence
to
doe
evill
,
abusing
of
the
grace
of
God
.
But
that
it
is
to
make
our
light
shine
before
men
,
by
good
workes
,
that
they
may
bee
jnduced
by
our
example
,
and
by
the
doctrine
of
our
life
,
to
glorifie
God
.
CHAP.
V.
HAving
defined
Faith
and
declared
by
particulars
all
the
parts
therof
,
it
now
remaines
to
know
the
causes
that
doe
produce
it
.
All
effects
haue
ordinarily
foure
causes
:
the
efficient
,
the
materiall
,
the
formall
,
and
the
finall
.
As
for
the
efficient
of
Faith
,
it
is
produced
and
jngendered
of
the
grace
of
God
;
as
it
is
written
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Ephesians
chap.
2.
verse
.
8.
By
grace
yee
are
made
safe
through
faith
,
and
that
not
of
your selues
:
it
is
the
gift
of
God
.
The
which
grace
by
the
Spirit
of
God
disposeth
the
hearts
and
the
vnderstandings
of
men
jnteriourly
,
and
secretly
,
taking
away
the
naturall
obscurity
and
darknesse
of
the
vnderstanding
,
to
make
it
capable
of
the
knowledge
of
the
word
of
promise
,
and
the
hardnesse
and
obstinacy
of
heart
,
that
it
may
bee
prepared
with
more
alacrity
and
good
will
to
follow
that
which
the
jlluminated
vnderstanding
doth
set
before
it
.
And
even
as
for
the
ptoducement
of
all
the
fruites
of
the
earth
;
it
is
first
requisite
that
the
earth
be
good
,
and
well
tilled
;
secondly
,
that
the
husbandman
bee
skilfull
in
his
art
,
to
wit
,
to
stirre
the
earth
and
giue
it
all
necessaries
;
thirdly
,
that
the
seed
which
is
cast
vpon
it
be
good
,
and
well
covered
,
and
watered
with
the
dew
of
Heaven
;
so
must
man
be
prepared
to
receaue
the
jncorruptible
seed
of
the
word
of
God
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
who
doth
regenerate
&
change
his
heart
of
stone
into
a
heart
of
flesh
.
Afterwards
that
the
Minister
,
which
is
the
husbandman
,
be
fit
for
to
sowe
it
with
a
graine
that
is
pure
and
entire
,
and
which
is
mingled
neither
with
Darnell
,
nor
any
other
evill
seed
.
So
by
the
concurrence
of
these
three
things
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
regenerates
man
,
and
prepares
it selfe
for
his
salvation
,
the
good
and
faithfull
Minister
,
who
doth
faithfully
dispence
the
misteries
of
God
;
and
the
jncorruptible
seed
of
the
word
which
is
purely
and
sincerely
administred
.
Faith
is
produced
in
the
heart
of
a
faithfull
man
;
the
which
is
not
done
but
at
Gods
appoynted
time
,
for
men
are
called
to
the
knowledge
of
their
salvation
diversly
,
and
at
divers
times
,
some
sooner
,
some
later
.
And
before
Gods
prefixed
time
be
past
,
we
see
that
the
elect
,
as
well
as
the
reprobate
,
are
rebellious
and
contrary
to
the
word
of
God
,
whereof
we
haue
a
notable
example
in
the
Scripture
of
S.
Paul
,
who
before
the
time
of
his
vocation
,
was
not
onely
an
enemy
,
but
also
a
blasph●mer
,
and
furious
persecutor
of
the
Church
of
God
.
But
when
the
time
which
God
had
appointed
to
call
him
,
and
to
bring
him
jnto
the
Church
,
was
come
,
then
in
a
moment
he
was
transformed
from
a
Wolfe
(
which
hee
was
before
)
to
a
Lambe
.
It
is
even
like
vnto
a
peece
of
woode
which
is
layd
vpon
a
harth
,
being
greene
one
cannot
kindle
it
,
but
if
it
be
drye
,
so
soone
as
it
is
put
jnto
the
fire
,
and
that
it
is
blowed
,
it
conceaues
a
flame
,
and
so
kindleth
.
Then
to
the
producing
of
Faith
,
two
things
are
required
;
the
preparation
of
the
heart
,
which
is
made
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
the
word
,
the
which
doth
jnflame
the
heart
of
man
as
soone
as
it
is
disposed
to
receaue
it
.
And
even
as
to
see
bodily
,
it
is
requisite
first
that
the
aire
be
jnlightened
(
for
by
night
men
cannot
see
though
they
haue
eyes
)
and
secondly
that
both
men
and
beasts
haue
a
liuely
faculty
(
for
otherwise
they
could
not
see
,
were
it
even
at
noone
day
)
so
for
to
see
and
contemplate
spirituall
things
,
the
ayre
must
first
be
jnlightened
by
the
preaching
of
the
word
of
God
;
and
secondly
,
that
men
haue
eyes
that
are
capable
to
receaue
this
light
.
As
for
the
materiall
cause
,
they
are
those
thinges
which
Iesus
Christ
hath
done
and
suffered
for
vs
,
as
the
obedience
which
hee
hath
rendered
to
God
his
father
,
and
the
accomplishment
of
the
law
,
the
satisfaction
&
payment
which
hee
hath
made
to
Gods
justice
for
our
debts
,
the
death
,
the
curse
,
the
wrath
and
judgement
of
God
which
he
hath
sustayned
,
and
the
hell
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
abisme
or
bottomlesse
pit
of
all
the
misery
,
whērein
he
hath
been
plunged
for
vs
,
and
for
this
only
end
,
to
free
vs
from
them
.
It
is
the
onely
matter
,
substance
,
subject
,
and
argument
of
our
Faith
.
The
fruits
also
that
do
arise
of
it
,
as
the
establishment
of
the
chu●ch
,
the
communion
of
Saints
,
the
remission
of
sins
,
the
resurrection
of
the
body
,
&
the
life
everlasting
,
are
the
principall
parties
,
and
as
it
were
mater
wherwith
our
faith
is
builded
.
But
because
the
word
of
God
written
in
the
Bible
touching
these
matters
,
in
the
bookes
of
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
is
of
a
large
extent
,
and
of
difficult
apprehension
,
the
Apostles
and
the
successors
being
assembled
haue
promised
for
it
,
and
comprehended
in
a
short
sommary
all
that
wee
ought
to
beleeue
for
our
salvation
.
And
haue
contayned
in
twelue
little
articles
,
all
the
things
which
Iesus
Christ
hath
done
or
suffered
for
vs
:
And
in
generall
all
that
is
needfull
for
vs
to
beleeue
,
and
wherevpon
we
ought
to
ground
and
settle
the
hope
of
the
everlasting
life
and
happinesse
.
Wherevpon
may
be
jnfered
,
that
the
doctrine
of
the
Pope
,
and
of
all
his
Pastors
and
Muncks
of
Papistry
,
cannot
availe
any
thing
to
edifie
our
Faith
,
the
which
is
not
setled
vpon
the
jnventions
,
foolish
traditions
,
and
vaine
jmaginations
of
men
,
But
vpon
the
pure
word
of
God
,
the
which
ought
to
be
layd
open
in
the
church
to
the
people
purely
and
simply
,
without
any
mingling
of
dreames
,
&
ravenings
of
men
;
As
saith
the
Prophet
Ieremie
,
You
must
not
mingle
the
chaffe
among
the
good
graine
,
nor
the
drosse
among
the
fine
Siluer
,
nor
the
water
with
the
good
wine
.
Peter
also
willeth
that
if
any
one
speake
in
the
assembly
,
let
him
speake
like
the
words
of
God
.
S.
Paul
exhorteth
his
Disciple
to
preach
the
word
of
God
without
adding
or
changing
,
The
words
of
the
Lord
are
pure
words
:
euen
as
the
siluer
which
from
the
earth
is
tryed
and
purified
seuen
times
in
the
fire
;
for
which
cause
nothing
may
bee
mingled
with
it
,
but
it
must
needs
corrupt
it
.
The
third
cause
,
to
wit
,
the
formall
of
Faith
is
Iesus
Christ
,
for
as
much
as
he
is
our
Christ
,
that
is
to
say
,
our
Mediatour
and
jntercessor
.
For
in
this
quality
hee
is
as
it
were
the
forme
of
our
Faith
,
the
which
hee
quickneth
and
giveth
a
being
therevnto
,
as
doth
the
shape
to
the
matter
which
it
shapeth
,
and
vnto
the
which
it
is
applyed
.
Now
as
we
see
all
things
take
their
being
and
denomination
of
their
forme
,
as
the
fire
is
named
by
it
forme
,
the
fishes
,
the
beasts
,
the
birds
,
and
all
things
in
generall
are
called
according
to
the
forme
which
●hey
beare
.
Also
so
is
Faith
,
and
calleth
it selfe
Christian
,
because
that
Iesus
Christ
who
is
the
forme
thereof
,
and
wee
are
also
for
this
reason
called
Christians
,
because
that
wee
are
provided
therewith
,
which
causeth
that
through
Iesus
Christ
●e
are
regenerate
to
be
new
creatures
.
Moreover
,
it
is
he
that
hath
kept
the
commandement
of
God
.
It
is
he
who
vndergoing
the
wrath
and
the
malediction
of
the
threatnings
of
God
,
hath
delivered
vs
from
them
.
Finally
,
it
is
he
that
obtayneth
the
blessing
set
downe
in
the
promise
made
to
Abraham
,
and
to
his
posterity
;
and
who
,
in
doing
so
,
hath
beene
a
meanes
that
the
law
,
the
threatnings
,
and
the
promises
,
which
are
the
three
principall
parts
of
the
scripture
were
accomplished
in
his
person
,
and
by
consequent
the
Faith
thereof
healthfull
to
all
belieuers
.
Whereby
wee
may
say
of
Iesus
Christ
,
that
hee
is
ths
forme
Faith
,
the
which
cannot
subsist
without
the
efficacy
of
the
word
,
nor
the
word
haue
her
efficacy
without
him
.
Therefore
is
it
that
we
may
say
that
Iesus
Christ
contaynes
all
the
causes
and
par●s
of
Faith
in
himselfe
,
for
divers
respects
.
First
the
efficient
,
because
that
as
God
he
produceth
it
in
vs
by
his
spirit
.
As
he
did
in
Paul
,
when
going
jnto
Damascus
he
called
him
,
and
in
his
mercy
did
change
him
in
an
jnstant
,
and
made
him
of
a
furious
persecutor
of
the
Church
,
a
faithfull
servant
vnto
him
and
it
.
Afterwards
,
that
hee
is
also
the
matter
of
our
Faith
,
by
reason
of
those
things
which
he
hath
suffered
for
vs
,
&
by
the
which
(
paying
our
ransome
)
he
hath
fully
satisfied
to
the
justice
of
God
for
all
our
jniquities
.
Againe
,
that
he
is
the
forme
of
our
Faith
,
in
as
much
as
he
is
the
Mediatour
and
jntercessour
,
who
by
his
merite
keepeth
vs
perpetually
in
the
grace
of
God
his
Father
,
in
the
which
resteth
all
our
life
,
salvation
,
and
beatitude
.
And
to
conclude
,
that
he
is
also
the
end
thereof
,
because
it
is
hee
vnto
whome
we
ought
wholy
to
referre
and
attribute
the
praise
and
glory
of
our
salvation
,
which
are
the
reasons
for
the
which
it
is
sayd
,
that
in
him
consists
all
fulnesse
of
gifts
and
graces
of
God
.
Also
,
that
God
the
Father
hath
giuen
vs
all
things
with
him
,
that
is
to
say
,
not
only
life
,
but
also
the
meanes
whereby
wee
may
attaine
therevnto
.
And
that
in
him
are
all
treasures
of
the
knowledge
,
wisedome
,
and
other
graces
and
blessings
of
our
God
.
Which
considering
,
S.
Augustine
saith
,
That
in
our selues
we
are
nothing
,
and
that
in
him
we
are
all
things
.
And
the
Apostle
to
the
Hebrues
.
Who
is
the
cheefe
and
the
accomplisher
of
our
Faith
,
who
insteed
of
the
ioy
which
he
had
in
hand
,
hath
indured
the
crosse
,
hauing
despised
the
shame
,
and
is
set
at
the
right
hand
of
the
throne
of
God
.
The
finall
cause
,
which
is
the
fourth
and
last
of
Faith
,
is
the
glory
of
God
and
the
salvation
of
men
,
for
the
mercy
of
God
manifesting
it selfe
in
the
remission
of
our
sinnes
;
and
his
vertue
in
the
execution
,
and
in
the
accomplishment
of
his
promises
;
and
his
justice
in
the
paine
which
Iesus
Christ
did
endure
vppon
the
crosse
for
vs
;
and
his
power
in
the
discomfiting
of
our
enemies
;
and
his
wisedome
by
the
which
he
hath
by
death
brought
life
,
by
sinne
justice
,
by
jnfirmitie
force
,
by
darknesse
light
,
by
wounds
healing
,
by
lowlinesse
exaltation
;
and
by
hell
whither
Iesus
Christ
did
descend
,
Paradice
and
the
kingdome
of
Heaven
;
being
(
I
say
)
all
the
vertues
of
God
manifested
and
layd
open
in
Iesus
Christ
,
all
christian
men
apprehending
them
by
Faith
,
haue
matter
and
cause
to
prayse
and
glorifie
God
;
for
God
doing
that
which
is
sayd
,
hath
shewed
how
glorious
and
wonderfull
his
name
was
.
Men
then
believing
these
things
in
their
hearts
,
and
publishing
them
with
their
mouths
,
cannot
better
magnifie
the
workes
,
vertues
,
and
miracles
of
our
God
,
then
in
doing
it
.

¶
Of
the
effects
of
Faith
,
wherof
the
first
is
the
reconciliation
betweene
God
and
man
.
HAving
spoken
of
the
causes
of
Faith
,
it
is
also
needfull
to
declare
the
effects
thereof
,
which
are
great
and
admirable
;
the
first
is
the
reconciliation
betweene
GOD
and
vs
.
For
when
we
were
as
farre
from
GOD
as
the
East
might
bee
from
the
West
;
&
that
there
was
no
creature
vpon
earth
more
miserable
then
man
in
this
estate
;
That
of
them
should
come
the
seede
which
should
bruse
the
head
of
the
Serpent
.
Adam
,
Abraham
,
and
Dauid
,
and
to
all
their
posterity
,
to
beleeue
and
conceaue
a
certaine
and
assured
hope
of
salvation
;
perswading
themselues
,
that
God
offering
himselfe
so
benignely
vnto
them
,
did
shew
that
he
was
not
willing
to
destroy
them
,
although
that
by
their
rebellion
they
had
well
deserved
it
;
but
was
content
againe
to
gather
to
loue
,
and
to
embrace
them
,
and
even
to
bind
himselfe
as
straightly
vnto
them
,
as
by
marriage
wee
see
man
and
wife
joyned
and
vnited
together
.
Blessed
is
that
Nation
whose
God
is
the
Lord
,
euen
the
people
that
hee
hath
chosen
for
his
inheritance
.
Blessed
is
the
people
,
that
can
reioyce
in
thee
,
they
shall
walke
in
the
light
of
thy
countenance
,
O
Lord
,
They
shall
reioyce
continually
in
thy
name
,
and
in
thy
righteousnesse
shall
they
exalt
themselues
.
Blessed
are
the
people
that
be
so
:
yea
,
blessed
are
the
people
,
whose
God
is
the
Lord
.
For
as
the
body
liveth
,
and
is
happy
whiles
the
soule
remaines
in
it
,
of
which
it
receaveth
mooving
,
feeling
,
and
all
the
force
and
vigour
,
which
is
in
it
;
also
,
and
more
happy
is
the
Church
,
that
is
joyned
with
God
,
of
whome
as
of
it
soule
it
receaueth
all
the
good
and
the
happinesse
that
it
can
haue
,
desire
,
and
hope
for
.
And
to
the
contrary
,
as
the
soule
separated
from
the
body
,
that
body
is
no
more
any
thing
but
a
stincking
and
jnfectious
rottonnes
;
also
that
Church
which
is
sequestred
from
her
God
,
is
nothing
else
but
all
misery
and
vanity
.
Now
the
greatnes
of
the
felicity
which
falleth
vnto
vs
by
the
allyance
which
we
haue
with
God
,
may
bee
yet
better
knowen
by
the
comparison
of
the
allyance
which
the
jdolaters
haue
with
their
jdols
,
Who
haue
eyes
but
see
not
,
mouths
but
speake
not
,
eares
but
heare
not
,
hands
but
feele
not
,
and
feet
but
goe
not
.
The
trust
in
which
jdols
is
altogether
vaine
,
as
sayth
the
Prophet
.
They
that
make
them
are
like
to
them
,
so
are
all
that
trust
in
them
.
But
wee
beeing
vnited
with
God
,
hee
(
by
his
jnfinite
wisedome
)
hath
the
care
of
vs
and
of
our
affayres
,
and
by
his
providence
doth
provide
for
all
our
necessities
,
and
preserveth
vs
from
all
dangers
.
And
by
his
charity
and
the
loue
which
hee
beareth
vs
,
can
never
forsake
vs
;
so
that
having
once
contracted
allyance
with
vs
,
we
are
assured
that
it
shall
be
permanent
for
ever
,
and
shall
continue
towards
vs
without
any
jnterruption
for
ever
and
ever
,
as
it
●s
written
by
the
Prophet
.
Doubtlesse
kindnesse
and
mercie
shall
follow
me
all
the
dayes
of
my
life
,
and
shall
remaine
a
long
season
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
.
In
his
fauour
is
life
.
My
mercy
will
I
keepe
for
him
for
euermore
,
and
my
couenant
shall
stand
fast
with
him
.
And
that
which
ought
yet
to
make
this
allyance
more
recommendable
vnto
vs
,
is
that
God
with
whome
wee
are
allyed
is
alwayes
present
to
know
and
to
provide
for
all
our
affayres
,
as
it
is
written
.
The
Lord
is
thy
keeper
,
the
Lord
is
thy
shaddow
at
thy
right
hand
.
The
Sunne
shall
not
smite
thee
by
day
,
nor
the
Moone
by
night
.
Also
,
Behold
the
eyes
of
the
Lord
is
vppon
them
that
feare
him
,
and
vpon
them
that
trust
in
his
mercy
.

¶
The
second
effect
of
Faith
,
is
the
remission
of
sinnes
.
THe
second
effect
of
Faith
is
the
resion
of
sinnes
,
by
the
which
the
hinderance
that
men
could
not
be
reconciled
with
God
,
was
taken
away
.
For
God
being
perfectly
just
,
and
we
to
the
contrary
most
sinfull
and
vnjust
in
every
fashion
;
there
was
no
meanes
to
vnite
vs
vnto
him
,
but
that
the
sinne
and
vnjustice
which
was
in
vs
,
must
first
be
abolished
.
What
fellowship
hath
righteousnes
with
vnrighteousnes
;
or
what
communion
hath
light
with
darkenes
;
or
what
concord
hath
Christ
with
Beliall
;
either
what
part
hath
he
that
belieueth
,
with
an
Infidell
;
or
what
agreement
hath
the
Temple
of
God
with
Idols
;
for
(
as
the
Philosophers
say
)
two
things
that
are
quite
contrary
,
cannot
agree
in
one
and
the
same
subject
.
It
was
then
needfull
that
the
sinne
which
was
in
vs
,
should
be
abolished
,
before
we
could
be
capable
to
come
neere
vnto
God
,
and
to
bee
joyned
with
him
.
Now
this
abolishment
was
done
for
the
remission
of
our
sinnes
,
the
which
God
gaue
vs
by
his
grace
,
and
by
the
meanes
of
the
satisfaction
which
Iesus
Christ
made
for
it
by
his
death
;
the
which
satisfaction
is
allowed
and
jmputed
vnto
vs
by
the
faith
which
we
haue
in
him
.
And
it
is
the
article
of
Faith
which
we
protest
to
beleeue
in
the
end
of
our
confession
,
saying
,
I
belieue
the
remission
of
sinnes
.
Wherevpon
wee
must
note
one
thing
which
S.
Bernard
sayth
,
that
is
to
say
,
Even
as
the
grace
of
God
continueth
towards
vs
for
ever
,
and
that
the
efficacy
and
vertue
of
the
death
of
Iesus
Christ
is
perpetuall
;
also
is
the
remission
and
abolition
of
all
our
jniquities
which
come
thereof
,
perpetuall
,
without
being
any
whit
jnterrupted
.
So
that
as
it
is
written
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Hebrewes
,
That
we
are
continually
sprinckled
with
the
bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
,
the
which
is
neuer
clutterd
,
but
is
alwaies
fresh
to
be
powred
vppon
vs
,
to
wash
vs
and
to
cleanse
vs
from
all
our
filthines
.
And
we
may
say
of
this
bloud
,
and
of
the
remission
of
sinnaes
,
which
is
therein
established
,
that
it
is
the
Asile
&
the
freedome
of
Christians
,
whither
they
must
alway
haue
their
recourse
,
to
bee
warranted
,
and
to
saue
their
life
,
when
they
haue
chanced
to
commit
any
criminall
cause
.
And
that
may
be
very
well
fitted
to
this
purpose
,
which
S.
Augustine
sayth
in
his
booke
of
the
Cittie
of
God
;
making
a
comparison
between
the
Church
and
Roome
in
this
poynt
,
that
is
to
say
,
that
as
to
people
and
edifie
the
Citie
of
Roome
in
her
beginning
,
by
the
aduise
of
Romulus
,
the
first
building
that
was
there
set
vp
,
was
the
place
of
Libertie
and
Freedome
,
after
the
framing
wherof
,
hee
caused
a
Proclamation
to
bee
made
in
all
the
places
thereabouts
,
that
who
so
euer
found
himselfe
to
haue
committed
any
capitall
crime
,
retyring
himselfe
into
this
pace
of
Freedome
,
he
should
obtaine
his
fauour
,
and
should
be
receaued
into
the
place
of
Citizen
,
and
defended
by
the
Inhabitants
against
all
those
that
should
doe
him
any
violence
.
Also
in
the
Church
of
God
,
the
first
thing
that
was
published
was
the
remission
of
sinnes
,
which
is
as
it
were
a
place
of
freedome
,
into
the
which
those
malefactors
that
haue
deserved
death
and
the
halter
,
may
retyre
themselues
;
to
the
end
to
be
assured
of
their
life
,
and
from
the
sentence
and
condemnation
,
which
the
judge
might
giue
against
them
,
if
hee
were
not
hindered
from
it
,
by
reason
of
their
refuge
thither
,
and
that
they
are
receaued
into
the
protection
and
safegard
of
the
King
,
who
is
the
Protector
and
warrant
of
the
Church
.
As
then
the
Citie
of
Roome
in
her
beginning
was
peopled
but
with
theeues
,
robbers
,
murderers
,
and
people
abandoned
to
all
kinds
of
vices
,
by
the
meanes
of
the
place
of
Freedome
,
which
had
beene
opened
for
them
,
by
the
founder
of
Rome
;
so
is
the
Church
assembled
&
compounded
of
jdolaters
,
blasphemers
,
prophaners
,
drunkards
,
rebels
,
theeues
,
adulterers
,
murderers
,
evill
speakers
,
detractours
,
covetous
,
ambitious
,
and
voluptuous
persons
,
ravishers
,
robbers
,
and
other
such
like
persons
,
by
the
meanes
of
the
remission
of
sinnes
,
which
hath
been
opened
vnto
them
,
as
a
place
of
Freedome
to
retyre
themselues
in
safty
.
The
which
did
Adam
,
Abell
,
Enoc
,
Noe
,
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
Iacob
,
Samuel
,
Gedeon
,
Iephte
,
Sampson
,
Dauid
,
the
Prophets
,
the
faithfull
,
and
all
the
Saints
that
ever
were
.
Now
this
remission
of
sins
is
the
ground
of
the
hope
of
a
christian
man
,
and
of
all
consolation
.
For
seeing
wee
offend
so
many
wayes
,
and
that
wee
cannot
liue
a
moment
and
minute
of
an
bower
,
without
having
evill
thoughts
in
our
vnderstandings
,
evill
affections
in
our
hearts
,
evill
words
in
our
mouths
,
evill
actions
in
our
hands
,
and
in
all
the
members
of
our
bodyes
,
and
a
great
vanity
in
all
our
sences
.
What
should
we
doe
?
how
should
we
escape
?
wherevppon
should
we
assure
our
salvation
,
withot-the
fayth
which
we
haue
of
the
remissiuon
of
our
sinnes
?
which
is
as
it
were
a
plaister
&
a
tent
,
which
wee
apply
euery
day
vpon
this
moist
&
corrupted
wound
of
our
nature
,
and
which
festured
doth
alwaies
drop
,
without
stenching
,
drying
,
cleansing
or
healing
,
by
other
means
but
by
this
onely
remedy
,
the
which
is
altogether
necessary
for
the
conversation
of
our
life
,
and
to
hinder
that
the
rottenesse
,
spreading
it selfe
,
and
ramping
ouer
all
the
parts
thereof
,
in
the
end
should
not
cause
vs
to
dye
.
It
is
it
which
rayseth
vs
when
we
are
fallen
,
as
sayth
Dauid
,
Though
he
fall
he
shall
not
be
cut
off
:
for
the
Lord
putteth
vnder
his
hand
.
I
haue
waited
on
the
Lord
:
my
soule
hath
wayted
,
and
I
haue
trusted
in
his
word
.
My
soule
waiteth
on
the
Lord
more
then
the
morning
watch
waiteth
for
the
morning
.
Let
Israell
wayt
on
the
Lord
:
for
with
the
Lord
is
mercy
,
and
with
him
is
great
redemption
.
And
he
shall
redeeme
Israell
from
all
his
iniquities
.
Wicked
deeds
haue
preuailed
against
me
,
but
thou
wilt
be
mercifull
vnto
our
transgression
.
This
remission
causeth
that
the
faithfull
do
not
sinne
to
the
death
,
for
this
seed
of
the
grace
of
God
,
of
his
promise
,
and
of
his
spirit
,
wherewith
he
hath
sealed
our
hearts
,
causeth
,
although
that
wee
bee
sinners
,
that
wee
assure
assure
our selues
(
notwitstanding
our
sinne
and
the
corruption
that
is
in
vs
)
that
God
who
is
jnfinite
in
goodnes
and
mercy
,
maketh
his
grace
to
abound
where
sinne
aboundeth
.
Then
I
acknowledged
my
sinne
vnto
thee
,
neither
hid
I
mine
iniquity
:
for
●o
I
thught
,
I
will
confesse
against
my selfe
my
wickednes
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
thou
forgauest
the
punishment
of
my
sin
.
Therfore
shall
euery
one
that
is
godly
,
make
his
prayer
vnto
thee
in
time
,
when
thou
mayest
bee
found
:
surely
in
the
floud
of
great
waters
they
shall
not
come
neere
him
.
Conclusion
,
this
remission
of
sinnes
is
as
a
quittance
vnto
vs
,
and
a
generall
abolition
of
all
that
we
may
owe
,
and
of
whatsoever
we
may
be
sought
after
for
in
the
Chamber
of
Accompts
of
our
God
.
So
that
being
furnished
with
it
,
wee
ought
not
to
feare
any
whit
,
to
present
our selues
before
the
judgement
of
God
with
all
assurance
.
For
there
is
no
condemnation
for
those
that
are
in
Iesus
Christ
,
as
saith
the
Apostle
,
Rom.
8.1

¶
Of
Iustification
,
the
third
effect
of
Faith
.
IT
is
time
then
to
enter
into
the
deduction
of
the
third
effect
of
Faith
,
which
is
our
justification
;
the
which
is
plainely
declared
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Romanes
,
chap.

vers.
22.
The
righteousnesse
of
God
commeth
by
the
Faith
of
Iesus
Christ
,
vnto
all
,
and
vppon
all
them
that
beleeue
.
There
is
no
difference
;
for
all
haue
sinned
and
haue
need
of
the
glory
of
God
,
but
are
justified
freely
by
his
grace
,
through
their
redemption
that
is
in
Christ
Iesus
,
whome
God
hath
set
forth
to
bee
a
propitiation
through
Faith
in
his
bloud
,
to
declare
his
righteousnes
,
by
forgiuing
the
sinnes
that
are
past
,
which
God
doth
suffer
;
to
shew
at
this
time
,
his
righteousnesse
,
that
he
might
bee
just
,
and
the
justifier
of
him
that
beleeueth
on
Iesus
;
Which
hee
confirmeth
in
the
fowrth
alleadging
that
which
Dauid
saith
towching
the
beatitude
of
man
,
vnto
whome
God
alloweth
justice
without
workes
,
saying
,
Blessed
is
he
whose
vnrighteousnesse
is
forgiuen
,
and
whose
sinne
is
couered
.
Blessed
is
the
man
vnto
whome
the
Lord
imputeth
not
sinne
,
and
in
whose
spirit
there
is
no
guile
;
Whereupon
wee
must
note
that
this
terme
of
justifying
signifieth
to
absolue
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
and
that
man
is
justified
before
God
,
when
appearing
before
his
throne
and
Iudgement
seat
he
is
absolved
of
all
his
crimes
and
sinnes
,
which
the
law
,
the
Deuill
,
and
his
owne
conscience
may
set
before
him
,
to
cause
him
to
be
condemned
,
which
is
done
in
the
fauour
of
Iesus
Christ
;
Now
this
Iustice
by
whose
couering
we
escape
the
Iudgement
of
God
,
is
allowed
vnto
vs
,
and
applied
by
the
Faith
of
Iesus
Christ
;
which
is
the
cause
that
in
Saint
Iohn
it
is
sayd
that
whoso
beleeueth
in
him
,
commeth
not
into
Iudgment
.
And
for
the
which
the
Apostle
to
the
Romanes
,
speaking
with
great
assurance
sayth
,
who
shall
lay
any
thing
to
the
charge
of
Gods
chosen
?
It
is
God
that
iustifieth
,
who
is
hee
that
condemneth
?
It
is
Christ
which
died
,
yea
rather
which
is
risen
againe
,
which
is
also
on
the
right
hand
of
God
,
and
maketh
intercession
for
vs
,
Who
shall
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
Iesus
Christ
?
shall
tribulation
,
or
anguish
,
or
persecution
,
eyther
hunger
,
eyther
nakednesse
,
eyther
perill
,
eyther
Sword
.
As
it
is
written
,
for
thy
sake
are
wee
killed
all
the
day
long
,
and
are
counted
as
sheepe
for
the
slaughter
,
neuerthelesse
in
all
these
things
wee
ouercome
through
him
that
loved
vs
;
For
I
am
sure
that
neither
death
,
neither
Life
,
neither
Angels
,
nor
rules
,
neither
Power
,
neyther
things
present
,
neithings
to
come
;
Neyther
height
nor
depth
,
neither
any
other
creature
shal
be
able
to
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
God
,
which
is
in
Christ
Iesus
our
Lord
.
If
by
Faith
we
are
assured
to
be
justified
before
him
,
and
that
this
consuming
fire
,
which
maketh
all
the
creatures
of
the
world
to
shake
when
it
is
once
enflamed
,
can
neither
annoy
nor
consume
vs
;
That
when
we
consider
it
narrowly
,
ought
quickly
to
take
that
feare
from
vs
,
that
we
may
haue
of
all
dangers
,
for
that
which
is
the
fearefullest
of
all
,
to
wit
,
the
wrath
and
anger
of
God
,
can
neither
offend
nor
make
vs
affraid
;
following
then
the
exhortation
and
example
of
the
Apostle
,
we
ought
not
onely
to
be
resolued
against
the
feare
of
Death
,
but
also
insult
ouer
it
as
he
did
in
saying
O
death
,
where
is
thy
victorie
?
O
Sepulcre
where
is
thy
Sting
?
Now
the
sting
of
Death
,
is
sin
;
and
the
power
of
sinne
,
is
the
Law
.
But
thanks
be
to
God
who
giueth
vs
victorie
through
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
Then
when
wee
shall
see
the
day
of
Iudgement
approch
,
the
which
is
fearefull
to
the
Diuels
and
reprobates
;
wee
to
the
contrary
ought
to
lift
vp
our
heads
,
being
joyfull
of
his
comming
;
being
well
assured
,
that
it
shall
be
the
day
of
our
full
and
entire
redemption
,
and
deliuerance
;
in
the
which
we
shall
enioy
all
the
goods
which
Iesus
Christ
hath
purchased
for
vs
,
and
the
fruite
of
our
hope
,
that
is
to
say
of
the
permanent
and
perfect
happinesse
,
which
God
hath
reserued
for
his
Children
.
And
if
the
children
of
Israell
after
they
had
passed
the
Riuer
Iordan
,
beginning
to
take
possession
of
the
Land
which
God
had
promised
them
,
had
great
occasion
to
reioyce
and
to
comfort
themselues
,
so
shall
we
haue
,
when
we
shall
see
Iesus
Christ
appeare
in
his
glory
the
second
time
,
and
when
we
shall
heare
this
pleasant
and
happie
voice
.
Come
ye
Blessed
of
my
Father
,
and
possesse
the
Kingdome
which
hath
been
prepared
for
you
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
.
¶
The
fowrth
effect
of
Faith
,
Mortification
.
FAith
also
begets
in
vs
mortification
of
the
flesh
,
and
true
repentance
purifying
our
hearts
(
as
saith
Saint
Peter
)
of
disordinate
passions
,
also
by
Faith
ingraffed
into
Iesus
Christ
,
wee
bring
forth
fruits
through
grace
,
of
an
other
kind
then
we
did
,
when
●ee
walked
in
our
owne
wayes
,
which
we
●e
in
Zacheus
,
Whereby
wee
see
what
is
the
power
and
force
of
Faith
,
the
which
doth
altogether
change
those
persons
vnto
whom
it
is
given
.
And
although
that
this
changing
be
not
perfect
all
at
once
;
neverthelesse
it
advanceth
every
day
by
little
and
little
in
those
that
are
truely
faithfull
,
to
purge
the
old
Leuin
which
remayneth
yet
in
them
,
and
to
wash
their
feet
(
as
sayth
Iesus
Christ
)
and
to
take
the
leeze
out
of
the
vessell
,
vntill
that
it
be
quite
empty
and
made
cleane
,
as
we
see
that
the
Apostle
did
,
did
runne
in
the
listes
,
to
beare
away
the
price
,
and
brought
his
body
into
slauery
,
to
the
end
that
in
some
fashion
,
after
he
had
preached
to
others
,
himselfe
was
not
found
vnreceaueable
,
I
trye
if
by
any
meanes
I
might
attaine
vnto
the
resurrection
of
the
dead
;
Not
as
though
I
had
already
attained
it
,
either
were
already
perfect
:
but
I
follow
,
if
that
I
may
comprehend
that
for
whose
sake
also
I
am
comprehended
of
Christ
Iesus
;
Brethren
,
I
count
not
my selfe
,
that
I
haue
attained
to
it
,
but
one
thing
I
doe
;
I
forget
that
which
is
behind
,
and
indeauour
my selfe
to
that
which
is
before
.
And
follow
hard
toward
the
marke
,
for
the
price
of
the
high
calling
of
God
in
Christ
Iesus
.
¶
The
fift
effect
of
Faith
,
Obedience
.
THe
other
effect
which
Faith
produceth
in
vs
,
is
the
obedience
which
wee
striue
to
render
to
God
,
when
by
Faith
we
haue
been
regenerated
,
as
S.
Paul
sheweth
to
the
Romanes
chap.
1.
verse
5.
sayjng
.
By
whome
we
haue
receaued
grace
and
Apostleship
(
that
obedience
might
be
giuen
vnto
the
Faith
)
for
his
name
among
all
the
Gentiles
.
It
is
also
sayd
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Hebrewes
.
Abraham
by
Faith
(
when
hee
was
called
)
obeyed
God
to
goe
out
into
a
place
which
he
should
receaue
for
inheritance
,
and
hee
went
out
,
not
knowing
whither
hee
went
;
which
are
two
places
that
shew
sufficiently
that
Faith
beejng
planted
in
our
hearts
,
it
disposeth
them
to
render
perfect
obedience
to
the
will
of
God
.
Also
we
see
that
the
elect
,
before
they
bee
called
and
regenerated
by
Faith
,
they
are
ordinarily
called
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
Rebels
,
dissobedient
,
and
Enemies
of
God
.
Servants
,
and
the
children
of
God
,
by
reason
of
the
will
and
desire
which
they
haue
to
obay
and
serue
him
.
Now
,
there
is
nothing
more
pleasing
and
agreeable
vnto
God
,
then
obedience
,
the
which
he
preferres
before
all
sacrifices
;
whereof
wee
haue
a
notable
example
in
Saul
,
As
by
one
mans
disobedience
many
were
made
sinners
,
so
by
that
obedience
of
that
one
,
shall
many
also
be
made
righteous
.

Phillipians

Hee
humbled
himselfe
&
became
obedient
vnto
the
death

euen
to
the
death
of
the
crosse
;
wherfore
God
hath
highly
exalted
him
,
and
giuen
him
a
name
aboue
euery
name

That
at
the
name
of
Iesus
should
euery
knee
bow
,
both
of
things
in
Heauen
,
and
things
in
Earth
,
and
thinges
vnder
the
Earth

And
that
euery
tongue
should
confesse
,
that
Iesus

is
the
Lord
,
vnto
the
glory
of
God
the
Father
.

vers.

In
burnt
offrings
,
and
sinne
offrings
thou
hast
had
no
pleasure
.
Then
I
sayd
Loe
,
I
come
(
in
the
beginning
of
the
booke
it
is
written
of
me
)
that
I
should
doe
thy
will
O
God
.
Aboue
when
he
had
sayd
,
Sacrifice
and
offring
,
and
burnt
offrings
,
and
sin
offrings
,
thou
wouldest
not
haue
,
neither
haddest
pleasure
therein
(
which
are
offered
by
the
Law
)
.
Then
sayd
hee
,
Loe
,
I
come
to
doe
thy
will
,
O
God
,
hee
taketh
away
the
first
that
he
may
establish
the
second
.
By
the
which
will
we
are
sanctified
euen
by
the
offring
of
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
once
made
;
Dauid
also
teacheth
vs
in
what
recommendations
wee
ought
to
haue
this
obedience
in
the
19.
Psalme
,
when
he
sayth
,
The
feare
of
the
Lord
is
cleane
,
and
endureth
for
euer
:
the
iudgements
of
the
Lord
are
truth
,
they
are
righteous
altogether
.
And
to
shew
the
care
to
render
this
obedience
to
God
,
he
say●h
at
the
end
of
the
same
Psalme
,
Let
the
words
of
my
mouth
,
&
the
meditation
of
my
heart
be
acceptable
in
thy
sight
.
O
Lord
my
strength
and
my
redeemer
.
And
in
the
17.
Psalme
.
Stay
my
steppes
in
thy
pathes
,
that
my
feet
doe
not
slide
.
And
in
the
119.
Psalme
,
Make
me
to
vnderstand
the
way
of
thy
precepts
,
&
I
will
meditate
in
thy
wondrous
workes
.
And
in
the
same
part
of
that
Psalme
.
I
will
run
the
way
of
thy
commandents
when
thou
shalt
enlarge
mine
heart
.
And
for
to
stir
vs
vp
to
render
the
obedience
which
we
owe
,
he
propounds
vnto
vs
in
the
same
Psalme
in
the
12.
part
thereof
,
the
example
of
all
creatures
,
which
haue
ne●er
declyned
from
the
purpose
,
where●ore
God
had
ordayned
them
in
their
●reation
,
as
it
appeares
by
that
which
followeth
,
O
Lord
thy
word
endureth
for
euer
in
Heauen
,
thy
truth
is
from
gene●ation
to
generation
:
thou
hast
layd
the
foundation
of
the
earth
and
it
abideth
.
They
continue
euen
to
this
day
by
thine
ordinance
,
for
all
are
thy
seruants
,
Except
thy
law
had
been
my
delight
,
I
should
now
haue
perished
in
mine
affliction
.
All
these
passages
with
jnfinite
others
which
are
scattered
in
the
Scripture
,
do
sufficiently
shew
into
what
duetie
the
faithfull
man
ought
to
put
himselfe
to
serue
and
obey
God
,
seejng
that
this
obedience
is
the
sole
and
onely
meanes
,
by
the
which
we
may
be
entertayned
in
his
fauour
,
and
retaine
his
spirit
with
vs
.
If
we
should
think
to
be
the
faithful
servants
of
god
,
&
that
neverthelesse
we
should
serue
jdolatry
,
the
devill
,
the
world
,
our
flesh
,
and
the
lusts
thereof
,
we
should
deceaue
our selues
,
Know
you
not
that
to
whome
soeuer
you
giue
your selues
as
seruants
to
obay
,
his
seruants
you
are
to
whome
you
obey
,
whether
it
be
of
si●
vnto
death
,
or
of
obedience
vnto
righteousnes
.
Then
the
faithfull
man
must
(
to
shew
that
hee
is
such
a
one
)
studie
with
all
his
might
to
honour
God
by
his
obedience
,
and
by
the
feare
which
he
shal
haue
to
offend
him
.
We
desire
of
God
every
day
that
his
Will
bee
done
,
and
yet
there
are
few
that
vse
this
prayer
,
that
prepare
themselues
to
doe
it
.
And
doe
lesse
employ
themselues
to
doe
it
so
readily
as
it
is
done
in
Heaven
:
For

¶
The
sixt
effect
of
Faith
,
Patience
.
FAith
also
begetteth
a
Patience
in
all
aduersities
,
and
causeth
that
the
faithfull
man
taketh
in
good
part
and
moderately
all
the
afflictions
and
calamyties
which
happen
vnto
him
,
for
the
which
he
blesseth
and
praiseth
God
,
acknowledging
that
they
come
from
him
,
for
his
good
and
salvation
,
and
alwaies
to
exercise
,
and
accustome
him
to
the
obedience
of
God
,
&
to
strengthen
him
in
his
duty
,
Luke
That
the
good
seed
which
was
fallen
in
good
ground
,
brought
forth
the
fruite
with
patience
.
S.
Paul
also
in
his
Epistle
to
the
Hebrues
sayth
,
that
by
Faith
,
and
patience
,
we
receaue
the
promises
for
inheritance
.
And
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Romanes
,
That
by
patience
wee
wayte
for
that
which
wee
hope
.
Now
this
patience
is
a
singular
and
commendable
vertue
,
and
the
most
acceptable
that
wee
can
offer
to
God
,
as
saith
the
Prophet
.
The
sacrifices
of
God
are
a
contrite
spirit
:
a
contrite
and
a
broken
heart
,
O
God
thou
wilt
not
despise
▪
And
the
reason
for
the
which
hee
exhorteth
all
those
that
are
faithfull
patiently
to
attend
from
God
a
good
and
happie
issue
of
all
their
aduersities
,
saying
.
Hope
in
the
Lord
:
be
strong
,
an
hee
shall
comfort
thine
heart
,
and
trust
in
the
Lord
.
And
to
confirme
that
,
he
himselfe
alleadgeth
the
experience
and
proofe
which
he
hath
had
of
it
,
I
waited
patiently
for
the
Lord
,
and
he
inclined
vnto
me
and
heard
my
cry
,
he
brought
me
also
out
of
the
mire
and
clay
,
and
set
my
feet
vppon
the
rocke
and
ordered
my
going
.
And
S.
Paul
to
the
Romanes
saith
,
that
tribulation
bringeth
foorth
patience
,
and
patience
experience
,
and
experience
hope
,
and
hope
maketh
not
ashmed
,
because
the
loue
of
God
is
shed
abroad
in
our
hearts
by
the
holy
Ghost
which
is
giuen
vnto
vs
;
The
which
holy
Ghost
beeing
a
vertue
from
aboue
,
and
a
Spirit
of
force
,
as
sayth
the
Apostle
,
vpholding
all
christian
and
faithfull
men
that
they
cannot
be
swallowed
vp
of
temptation
were
they
neuer
so
furious
and
violent
,
and
remaines
firme
and
immooueable
against
the
winds
,
the
stormes
and
the
●empests
and
the
waues
,
the
which
beating
against
them
do
breake
and
disperse
●hemselues
,
and
bring
foorth
nothing
but
scumme
,
It
is
that
which
the
Prophet
saith
,
And
as
for
me
,
thou
vphouldest
me
in
mine
integritie
,
and
doest
set
me
before
thy
face
for
euer
.
One
deepe
calleth
an
other
deepe
by
the
noyse
of
thy
water
spouts
,
all
thy
waues
and
thy
flouds
are
gone
ouer
me
.
The
Lord
will
graunt
his
louing
kindnesse
in
the
day
,
and
in
the
night
shall
I
sing
of
him
,
euer
a
prayer
vnto
the
God
of
my
life
.
Thou
hast
caused
men
to
ride
ouer
our
heads
;
we
went
into
fier
and
into
water
,
but
thou
broughtest
vs
out
into
a
wealthie
place
.
When
the
Lord
brought
againe
the
Captiuitie
of
Syon
,
wee
were
like
them
that
dreame
.
Then
was
our
mouth
filled
with
laughter
,
and
our
tongue
with
Ioy
.
Let
vs
then
remember
the
exhortation
of
the
Prophet
who
addressing
his
speech
to
all
the
faithfull
sayth
,
Yee
that
loue
the
Lord
,
hate
euill
:
he
preserueth
the
soules
of
his
Saints
:
he
will
deliuer
them
from
the
hand
of
the
wicked
;
light
is
sowen
for
the
righteous
,
and
ioy
for
the
vpright
in
heart
.
And
although
that
the
persecutions
are
sometimes
so
hard
&
so
sharpe
that
it
should
seeme
they
are
intollerable
,
We
see
every
day
,
¶
The
Seauenth
effect
of
Faith
,
Humilitie
.
FAith
also
produceth
from
the
faithfull
Humilitie
,
which
is
the
Queene
of
vertues
;
and
that
which
God
doth
most
accompt
of
in
vs
.
For
it
is
also
the
principall
,
and
without
the
which
all
the
others
are
reputed
as
nothing
before
him
.
And
as
sayth
S.
Augustine
,
It
is
of
no
lesse
importance
in
Pietie
and
Religion
,
then
the
pronountiation
in
Rethorick
.
And
as
Demosthenes
beeing
demanded
,
what
was
the
principall
part
thereof
,
answered
,
that
it
was
the
good
grace
and
comlynesse
which
men
had
well
to
prononce
and
expresse
the
conceits
of
their
mindes
;
also
that
good
father
sayd
to
this
purpose
,
that
if
any
one
demanded
him
,
what
was
the
first
vertue
of
Christians
,
he
answered
that
it
was
humilitie
,
by
the
which
men
descending
into
themselues
,
hauing
well
and
diligently
examined
themselues
,
come
to
know
themselues
and
the
great
jmperfections
,
which
are
in
them
,
as
ignorance
,
the
disordinate
affections
,
the
passions
,
the
desires
that
inclination
to
vice
which
is
in
them
,
that
contrarietie
which
is
in
their
nature
to
the
will
of
God
,
to
all
his
ordinances
,
which
causeth
that
humbling
themselues
before
God
,
they
remit
themselues
holy
to
him
jmploring
his
mercy
,
and
seeking
in
his
goodnesse
that
which
wanteth
in
their
nature
;
The
which
they
would
neuer
doe
of
themselues
,
for
naturally
we
are
all
jnclyned
to
presume
of
our selues
,
and
to
esteeme
of
our selues
a
great
deale
more
then
wee
are
worth
:
and
wee
hold
that
of
our
first
parents
,
and
of
the
Diuell
,
whose
pride
was
the
cause
of
their
ruine
,
the
which
could
neuer
haue
been
repayred
but
by
the
contrarie
,
that
is
to
say
,
by
the
humility
of
our
Saviour
Iesus
Christ
,
who
beeing
in
the
forme
of
God
,
thought
it
no
robberie
to
bee
equall
with
God
.
But
hee
made
himselfe
of
no
reputation
and
tooke
on
him
the
forme
of
a
seruant
,
and
was
made
like
vnto
men
,
and
was
found
in
shape
as
a
man
,
he
humbled
himselfe
,
and
became
obedient
vnto
death
,
and
to
the
death
of
the
crosse
.
The
which
was
the
cause
of
blotting
out
the
presumption
of
our
first
parents
,
and
the
onely
remedie
,
to
heale
the
wound
which
they
had
giuen
themselues
,
and
all
there
posteritie
.
Now
wee
must
be
very
curious
to
purchase
this
humilitie
,
for
without
it
we
cannot
please
God
,
who
looketh
on
the
humble
both
in
heauen
&
in
earth
,
as
sayth
the
Prophet
.
Who
is
like
vnto
the
Lord
our
God
,
that
hath
his
dwelling
on
high
,
who
abaseth
himselfe
to
behold
things
in
Heauen
and
Earth
,
he
rayseth
the
needy
out
of
dust
,
and
lifteth
vp
the
poore
out
of
the
dung
.
That
he
may
set
him
with
the
Princes
,
and
with
the
Princes
of
his
people
.
And
also
.
The
Lord
giueth
sight
to
the
blind
,
the
Lord
raiseth
vp
the
crooked
:
the
Lord
loueth
the
righteous
.
And
in
an
other
place
.
He
hath
no
pleasure
in
the
strength
of
a
Horse
,
neither
delighteth
he
in
the
legs
of
man
.
But
the
Lord
delighteth
in
them
that
feare
him
,
and
attend
vpon
his
mercy
.
It
is
marvaile
that
men
who
are
so
wretched
and
miserable
,
There
is
nothing
more
miserable
then
hee
that
hath
not
pittie
of
himselfe
,
and
of
his
owne
miserie
.
Wee
are
environed
with
sinne
,
and
with
all
the
evils
and
miseries
that
it
draggeth
after
it
,
and
●otwithstanding
we
neither
know
nor
●eele
it
.
As
the
Apostle
confesseth
of
●imselfe
,
But
thou
Lord
art
a
buckler
for
me
:
my
glory
,
and
●he
lifter
vp
of
my
head
.
I
doe
not
trust
●n
my
bow
,
nor
can
my
sword
saue
me
.
But
●hou
hast
saued
vs
from
our
aduersaries
,
and
hast
put
them
to
confusion
that
hate
●s
.
Therefore
will
wee
praise
God
continually
,
and
will
confesse
thy
name
for
euer
.
It
is
that
which
the
Apostle
teacheth
vs
,
What
hast
thou
that
thou
hast
not
receaued
?
and
if
thou
hast
receaued
all
that
is
laudable
in
thee
,
why
doest
thou
boast
,
as
if
thou
haddest
not
receaued
it
?
And
elsewhere
,
Thy
glory
is
shut
vp
by
the
Law
of
Faith
,
which
teacheth
that
what
thou
art
,
thou
art
by
the
only
grace
and
mercy
of
God
.
Blessed
is
the
man
that
maketh
the
Lord
his
trust
,
and
regardeth
not
the
prowd
,
nor
such
as
turne
aside
to
lyes
.
Let
vs
againe
say
with
him
,
Lord
mine
heart
is
not
hawty
,
neither
are
mine
eyes
loftie
,
neither
haue
I
walked
in
great
matters
,
and
hid
from
me
.
It
is
impossible
that
those
that
desire
the
glory
of
men
,
can
belieue
in
God
;
as
he
also
sayth
,
in
S.
Mathew
,
That
the
poore
,
those
that
know
and
feele
their
pouerty
,
and
their
miserie
,
are
onely
those
that
are
Euangelized
:
that
is
to
say
,
that
receaue
the
Gospell
,
and
the
good
tydings
which
Iesus
Christ
at
his
comming
brought
into
the
world
,
in
Faith
and
Obedience
.
All
the
great
personages
that
euer
were
vpon
earth
,
were
all
furnished
and
adorned
with
this
goodly
vertue
.
Moyses
acknowledgeth
that
in
his
nature
is
but
a
heape
of
all
vice
and
corruption
,
and
that
his
heart
is
jnclined
to
nothing
but
wickednesse
.
Dauid
confesseth
that
all
men
are
nothing
,
The
Children
of
men
are
vanity
,
the
cheife
men
are
lyars
,
to
lay
them
vppon
a
ballance
they
are
altogether
lighter
then
vanitie
.
Esay
sayth
,
Lord
withdraw
thy
selse
from
mee
,
who
am
a
poore
and
wretched
sinner
,
vnworthie
to
appeare
before
thy
face
,
and
to
be
in
thy
companie
,
S.
Paul
acknowledgeth
himselfe
a
blasphemer
,
Who
can
vnderstand
his
faults
,
●lense
me
from
secret
faults
.
We
haue
●ll
then
great
need
to
humble
our selues
before
God
,
&
to
hold
downe
our
heads
●owards
the
earth
,
for
shame
&
griefe
,
to
see
in
vs
such
a
disorder
and
confusion
as
wee
see
.
And
to
say
with
Iob
,
Cursed
was
I
when
I
sinned
,
but
if
I
haue
donne
well
,
yet
shall
not
that
make
me
lift
vp
my
head
,
nor
looke
the
higher
.
S.
Augustine
in
his
confessions
,
Cursed
be
all
our
vnrighteousnesses
,
if
they
bee
examyned
and
Iudged
without
the
pittie
and
mercie
of
God
.
¶
The
Eight
effect
of
Faith
,
it
is
the
Mother
of
Prayer
.
FAith
also
is
the
mother
of
Prayer
,
in
the
which
the
truely
faithfull
exercise
themselues
jncessantly
,
followjng
the
commaundement
of
Iesus
Christ
,
who
exhorteth
his
Apostles
,
and
consequently
all
the
faithfull
,
to
pray
without
end
and
without
ceasing
in
Faith
,
without
the
which
wee
cannot
in
any
wise
hope
that
our
requests
be
heard
of
God
,
nor
likewise
graunted
.
For
also
the
prayer
which
is
made
in
doubt
,
and
jncertitude
,
is
displeasing
to
God
,
as
sayth
S.
Iames
,
That
the
vncertaine
man
must
looke
for
nothing
from
God
,
whatsoeuer
he
demandeth
.
How
it
is
possible
to
call
vppon
God
,
if
first
we
doe
not
belieue
and
hope
in
him
?
Now
this
prayer
when
it
is
well
made
,
and
grounded
vppon
the
promises
of
God
,
and
that
then
it
is
addressed
vnto
his
Majestie
,
it
cannot
choose
but
obtaine
of
him
what
it
demandeth
.
Wherfore
Dauid
sayd
,
That
prayer
was
his
refuge
in
all
aduersitie
.
Wee
haue
in
the
holy
Scripture
jnfinite
examples
of
the
prayers
that
this
good
Prophet
hath
made
to
God
,
for
to
obtaine
of
him
some
good
and
happy
jssue
in
all
his
afflictions
,
I
did
call
vppon
the
Lord
with
my
voice
,
and
he
heard
me
out
of
his
holy
mountaine
.
I
layd
mee
downe
and
slept
,
and
rose
vp
againe
:
for
the
Lord
sustained
mee
;
I
will
not
bee
affrayd
for
tenne
Thousand
of
the
people
that
should
beset
me
round
about
.
And
in
the
18.
Psalme
,
where
hee
records
the
meanes
that
hee
vseth
to
avoide
the
furie
of
his
enemies
,
that
kept
him
besieged
on
every
side
,
he
sayth
,
that
for
to
repulse
and
beat
them
backe
,
he
helped
himselfe
principally
with
prayer
,
But
in
my
troubles
did
I
call
vpon
the
Lord
,
and
cryed
vnto
my
God
:
he
heard
my
voyce
out
of
his
Temple
,
and
my
cry
did
come
before
him
&
vnto
his
eares
.
Then
the
earth
trembled
and
quaked
;
the
foundations
also
the
Mountaines
mooued
and
shooke
because
he
was
angry
.
Some
trust
in
Chariots
,
and
some
in
Horses
:
but
wee
will
remember
the
name
of
the
Lord
our
God
.
They
are
brought
downe
and
fallen
,
but
wee
are
risen
and
stand
vpright
.
Saue
Lord
,
let
the
King
heare
vs
in
the
day
that
we
call
.
And
in
the
9.
Psalme
,
The
Lord
also
will
bee
a
refuge
for
the
poore
,
a
refuge
in
due
time
,
euen
in
affliction
.
And
they
that
know
thy
name
,
will
trust
in
thee
:
for
thou
Lord
hast
not
failed
them
that
seeke
thee
.
And
in
the
same
Psalme
,
The
wicked
shall
turne
into
Hell
,
and
all
Nations
that
forget
God
.
For
the
poore
shall
not
alwaies
bee
forgotten
,
the
hope
of
the
afflicted
shall
not
perish
for
euer
.
Though
my
spirit
was
in
perplexity
in
me
,
yet
thou
knewest
my
path
;
in
the
way
wherein
I
walked
,
haue
they
priuilie
laid
a
snare
forme
.
And
in
the
same
Psalme
,
Then
cryed
I
vnto
thee
,
O
Lord
,
and
sayd
,
thou
art
my
hope
and
my
portion
in
the
land
of
the
liuing
.
But
mine
eyes
looke
vnto
thee
,
O
Lord
God
,
in
thee
is
my
trust
:
leaue
not
my
soule
destitute
.
And
in
the
130.
Psalme
,
Out
of
the
deepe
places
haue
I
called
vppon
thee
,
O
Lord
:
Lord
heare
my
voyce
,
let
thine
eares
attend
to
the
voyce
of
my
prayers
.
And
in
the
69.
Psalme
,
Deliuer
me
out
of
the
mire
that
I
sincke
not
:
Let
me
be
deliuered
from
them
that
hate
me
,
and
out
of
the
deep
waters
.
Let
not
the
water
flood
drowne
me
,
neither
let
the
deepe
swallow
me
vp
;
&
let
not
the
pit
shut
her
mouth
vpon
me
.
All
these
passages
shew
sufficiently
,
that
the
Faith
of
the
good
Fathers
was
not
a
cowardly
and
soft
Faith
,
which
was
astonished
and
yeilded
easily
to
afflictions
,
how
hard
and
sharp
soeuer
they
were
;
but
that
like
vnto
the
Palme
it
did
stiffen
it selfe
and
rise
against
the
weight
of
the
burthen
;
So
that
it
was
never
overcome
,
what
burthen
or
waight
so
ever
could
bee
layd
vppon
it
.
Likewise
we
see
Ionas
,
in
the
very
bottome
both
of
the
Sea
,
Men
must
not
then
mistrust
of
Gods
helpe
,
in
what
place
soeuer
they
bee
,
were
they
,
as
it
is
written
in
Deuteronomy
,
in
the
bottome
of
hell
,
that
is
to
say
,
of
all
miserie
and
affliction
,
alwaies
setting
before
their
eyes
,
that
in
what
place
soeuer
they
be
,
God
who
is
their
father
,
is
there
present
,
and
a
spectator
of
their
misery
,
for
after
hee
hath
tryed
their
Faith
and
patience
,
and
heard
their
prayer
,
to
draw
them
out
of
all
the
daungers
wherein
they
are
.
For
as
he
hath
power
to
precipitate
his
into
the
pit
to
trie
them
,
also
hath
he
to
deliuer
them
,
and
in
comforting
them
,
to
giue
them
matter
and
argument
to
praise
him
,
as
he
saith
by
the
prophet
.
Hee
shall
call
vppon
mee
,
and
I
will
heare
him
?
I
will
be
with
him
in
trouble
,
I
will
deliuer
him
,
and
glorifie
him
,
with
long
life
will
I
satisfie
him
and
shew
him
my
salvation
.
The
Ninth
effect
of
Faith
,
true
Adoration
.
FAith
also
begetteth
in
the
faithfull
man
,
true
adoration
and
worship
of
God
,
as
it
is
sayd
,
that
Iacob
by
Faith
when
he
was
dying
,
blessed
euery
one
of
the
Sonnes
of
Ioseph
,
Commit
thy
way
vnto
the
Lord
and
trust
in
him
,
and
hee
shall
bring
it
to
passe
.
And
hee
shall
bring
forth
thy
righteousnesse
as
the
light
,
and
thy
iudgement
as
the
noone
day
:
wayt
patiently
vpon
the
Lord
,
and
hope
in
him
;
fret
not
thy selfe
for
him
which
prospereth
in
his
way
:
not
for
the
man
that
bringeth
his
enterprise
to
passe
.
Cease
from
anger
and
leaue
of
wrath
:
fret
not
thy selfe
also
to
doe
euill
,
for
euill
doers
shall
bee
cut
off
,
and
they
that
wayt
vppon
the
Lord
,
they
shall
inherite
the
land
.
Which
is
no
small
good
to
the
faithfull
man
,
who
from
thence
draweth
tranquility
and
peace
of
conscience
.
For
bejng
tossed
with
adversities
which
beate
against
him
incessantly
,
the
one
after
the
other
,
as
the
waues
of
the
Sea
doe
against
rockes
,
he
hath
great
need
to
be
vpheld
,
that
he
be
stedfast
and
firme
,
and
constantly
to
repulse
the
temptations
wherewith
hee
is
assaulted
on
every
side
.
O
Lord
that
art
my
portion
,
I
haue
determined
to
keepe
thy
words
.
For
thou
hast
deliuered
my
soule
from
death
,
and
also
my
feet
from
falling
that
I
may
walke
before
God
in
the
light
of
the
liuing
.
And
also
,
But
I
will
sing
of
thy
power
,
and
will
prayse
thy
mercie
in
the
morning
:
for
thou
hast
beene
my
defence
and
refuge
in
the
day
of
my
trouble
.
Vnto
thee
,
O
my
strength
,
will
I
sing
:
for
God
is
my
defence
and
my
mercifull
God
.
O
how
happy
is
man
,
when
hee
can
say
and
feele
in
his
heart
,
as
doth
the
Prophet
,
The
Lord
is
the
portion
of
mine
inheritance
,
and
of
my
cup
;
thou
shalt
maintaine
my
lot
.
The
lines
are
fallen
to
mee
in
pleasant
places
:
yea
,
I
haue
a
faire
heritage
.
I
will
praise
the
Lord
,
who
hath
giuen
me
counsell
,
my
reines
also
teach
wee
in
the
night
.
I
haue
set
the
Lord
alwaies
before
me
,
for
he
is
at
my
right
hand
:
therefore
I
shall
not
slide
.
Wherfore
mine
heart
is
glad
,
&
my
tongue
reioyceth
:
my
flesh
also
doth
rest
in
hope
.
Surely
there
is
no
other
meanes
to
content
our
mind
,
then
the
possession
which
wee
haue
of
God
,
when
wee
loue
him
,
and
that
by
Faith
we
enjoye
him
,
wholly
relying
vppon
him
,
and
recommending
all
our
affaires
vnto
him
,
which
cannot
choose
but
bee
well
conducted
,
and
come
to
a
good
end
,
when
he
pleaseth
to
jmbrace
them
;
which
is
the
cause
for
the
which
the
Prophet
sayd
,
My
soule
keepeth
silence
vnto
God
:
of
him
commeth
my
saluation
,
he
is
my
strength
and
my
saluation
,
and
my
defence
:
therefore
I
shall
not
much
be
mooued
.
And
also
,
I
will
praise
the
Lord
with
my
whole
heart
,
in
the
assembly
and
congregation
of
the
iust
,
the
workes
of
the
Lord
are
great
,
and
ought
to
bee
sought
out
of
all
that
loue
him
.
And
a
little
after
,
The
workes
of
his
hands
are
trueth
and
iudgement
:
all
his
statutes
are
true
.
Whence
commeth
it
,
that
men
trouble
themselues
so
,
Many
sorrowes
shall
come
to
the
wicked
:
but
hee
that
trusteth
in
the
Lord
,
mercy
shall
compasse
him
.
And
in
the
84.
Psalme
,
Blessed
are
they
that
dwell
in
thine
howse
,
they
will
euer
praise
thee
.
Blessed
is
the
man
whose
strength
thou
art
,
and
in
whose
heart
are
thy
wayes
.
And
toward
the
end
of
the
same
Psalme
,
For
the
Lord
God
is
the
Sun
and
shield
vnto
vs
,
the
Lord
will
giue
grace
and
glory
,
and
no
good
thing
will
hee
withold
from
them
that
walke
vprightly
.
O
Lord
of
Hostes
,
blessed
is
the
man
that
trusteth
in
thee
.
And
in
the
25.
Psalme
,
Vnto
thee
O
Lord
,
I
lift
vp
my
soule
,
my
God
I
trust
in
thee
:
Let
mee
not
bee
confounded
,
Let
not
mine
enemies
reioyce
ouer
mee
.
They
shall
looke
vnto
him
,
and
run
to
him
,
and
their
faces
shall
not
be
ashamed
saying
,
This
poore
man
cryed
,
and
the
Lord
heard
him
,
and
saued
him
out
of
all
his
troubles
.
And
also
,
Concerning
the
workes
of
men
,
by
the
words
of
thy
lippes
I
kept
mee
from
the
pathes
of
the
cruell
man
.
In
skoffing
shake
their
heads
.
But
then
to
abate
the
grumbling
of
our
hearts
,
we
ought
to
speake
softly
to
it
,
as
it
were
in
the
eare
.
Why
art
thou
cast
downe
my
soule
?
and
why
art
thou
disquieted
within
mee
?
wayt
on
God
:
for
I
will
giue
him
thankes
:
he
is
my
present
helpe
,
and
my
God
.
Confessing
that
which
the
Prophet
sayth
,
to
wit
,
Vntill
I
went
into
the
sanctuary
of
God
:
then
vnderstood
I
their
end
;
Surely
thou
hast
set
them
in
slipperie
places
,
and
castest
them
downe
into
desolation
.
Let
vs
assure
our selues
then
vpon
the
providence
of
our
God
,
and
worshippe
him
,
to
what
estate
soever
wee
bee
brought
;
and
let
vs
not
thinke
that
he
hath
left
the
care
which
he
hath
promised
to
haue
over
vs
and
our
affaires
.
But
let
vs
always
resolutely
hold
,
That
the
eye
of
the
Lord
is
vppon
them
that
feare
him
,
and
vpon
them
that
trust
in
his
mercie
.
And
that
which
the
Prophet
saith
in
the
same
Psalme
,
The
Lord
looketh
downe
from
Heauen
,
and
beholdeth
all
the
children
of
men
.
Also
that
which
he
saith
elsewhere
,
Who
is
like
vnto
the
Lord
our
God
,
that
hath
his
dwellings
on
high
.
Who
abaseth
himselfe
to
behold
things
in
Heauen
and
in
Earth
.
If
we
haue
once
our
eyes
setled
vpon
the
providence
of
God
,
as
wee
see
the
Prophet
had
,
wee
shal
never
be
troubled
in
our
consciences
,
neither
shall
wee
feele
the
anguish
and
sorrow
wherewith
those
are
strongly
vexed
and
tormented
,
who
by
their
passions
are
drawn
now
hither
,
them
thither
,
without
bejng
able
to
rest
in
their
minds
,
nor
to
find
any
resolution
in
their
jmaginations
,
wherevpon
they
may
stay
or
rest
;
but
wee
shall
haue
our
consciences
quiet
and
peaceable
,
and
what
wind
soever
bloweth
it
shal
seeme
propicious
and
favourable
vnto
vs
,
and
what
danger
soever
can
present
it selfe
before
our
eyes
,
it
shall
neuer
be
so
great
as
to
affright
or
make
vs
tremble
.
For
knowjng
and
believing
that
the
goodnesse
of
God
is
vpon
vs
both
aboue
and
beneath
,
Wee
will
not
feare
though
the
earth
bee
mooued
,
and
though
the
mountaines
fall
into
middest
of
the
Sea
.
Though
the
waters
thereof
rage
and
be
troubled
,
and
the
Mountaines
shake
at
the
surges
of
the
same
.
And
also
,
I
will
lay
me
downe
,
and
also
sleepe
in
peace
,
for
thou
Lord
onely
makest
me
dwell
in
safetie
.
Also
that
which
is
written
in
an
other
Psalme
,
The
Lord
is
my
sheepheard
,
I
shall
not
want
.
He
maketh
me
to
rest
in
greene
pasture
,
and
leadeth
me
by
the
still
waters
.
He
restoreth
my
soule
,
and
leadeth
me
in
the
pathes
of
righteousnes
for
his
name
sake
,
yea
though
I
should
walke
through
the
valley
of
the
shadow
of
death
,
I
will
feare
no
euill
for
thou
art
with
mee
:
thy
rod
and
thy
staffe
they
comfort
me
.
Thou
doest
prepare
a
table
before
me
in
the
sight
of
mine
aduersaries
;
thou
doest
annoynt
mine
head
with
oyle
,
and
my
cup
runneth
ouer
.
For
what
evils
,
stormes
,
or
tempests
soever
may
besiege
vs
,
wee
will
alwayes
come
to
his
conclusion
of
all
our
discourses
,
To
wit
,
that
The
Lord
of
hoasts
is
with
vs
:
the
God
of
Iacob
is
our
refuge
.
And
that
which
is
written
elswere
,
I
called
vppon
the
Lord
in
trouble
,
and
the
Lord
heard
me
,
and
set
me
at
large
.
The
Lord
is
with
me
,
therefore
I
will
not
feare
what
man
can
doe
vnto
mee
.
And
in
the
same
place
,
The
Lord
is
mightie
,
and
hath
giuen
vs
light
.
The
resolution
then
that
euery
faithful
man
shall
haue
vpon
this
article
of
Adoration
,
shall
be
such
a
one
as
that
of
the
Prophet
,
to
wit
,
Thou
art
my
God
,
and
I
will
praise
thee
,
euen
my
God
:
therfore
will
I
exalt
thee
.

Thanksgiuing

THe
last
effect
of
Faith
is
Thanksgiving
,
by
the
which
,
calling
to
mind
the
great
good
which
God
hath
done
for
vs
,
in
such
great
nomber
,
that
wee
should
not
be
jngratefull
towards
him
,
we
giue
him
thanks
for
them
,
&
repeat
them
according
to
the
occasions
presented
to
vs
;
to
the
end
that
God
by
that
means
may
be
jnduced
to
continue
and
multiply
them
towards
vs
,
the
which
he
doth
ordinarily
to
those
who
doe
not
forget
the
benefits
and
favours
which
they
receaue
from
him
,
as
it
is
sayd
,
That
to
him
that
hath
,
shall
be
giuen
;
and
from
him
that
hath
not
,
shall
be
taken
,
euen
that
which
he
seemed
to
haue
:
and
elsewhere
it
is
said
,
That
God
giueth
grace
vppon
grace
to
those
that
loue
and
serue
him
.
And
in
the
parable
of
the
talents
,
For
thou
art
the
glory
of
their
strength
,
and
by
thy
fauour
our
hornes
shall
be
exalted
,
for
our
sheild
appertaineth
to
the
Lord
,
and
our
king
to
the
holy
one
of
Israell
.
Also
,
if
wee
are
nourished
,
cloathed
,
lodged
,
and
fitted
with
all
things
necessarie
for
vs
,
and
fit
for
the
entertainment
of
this
life
,
and
to
auoyde
the
miseries
thereof
,
it
is
by
his
onely
meanes
that
wee
haue
such
a
good
:
Dauid
,
The
Lord
is
my
shepheard
,
I
shall
not
want
.
It
is
he
that
conducts
vs
and
guides
vs
,
through
all
the
ways
which
we
addresse
,
not
only
because
wee
should
not
stumble
,
as
sayth
Dauid
,
For
hee
shall
giue
his
angells
charge
ouer
thee
to
keepe
thee
in
all
thywayes
;
They
shall
beare
thee
in
their
hands
that
thou
hurt
not
thy
foote
against
the
stone
.
But
also
doth
conduct
and
set
vs
in
the
way
of
his
commandements
,
and
causeth
that
wee
do
not
decline
from
the
obedience
of
his
holy
will
,
neither
to
the
right
,
nor
to
the
left
,
as
it
●s
written
in
the
119
Psalme
.
Oh
that
my
wayes
were
directed
to
keepe
thy
sta●utes
.
Then
should
I
not
be
confounded
when
I
haue
respect
vnto
all
thy
commandements
.
And
also
,
Incline
myne
heart
vnto
thy
testimonies
,
and
not
to
couetous●esse
.
Yea
it
is
hee
that
doth
direct
our
●teps
as
hee
writeth
.
The
pathes
of
man
●re
directed
by
the
Lord
for
he
loueth
his
●ay
.
Though
hee
fall
,
hee
shall
not
bee
●ut
off
,
for
the
Lord
putteth
vnder
his
hand
.
It
is
hee
in
some
that
defendeth
vs
from
all
dangers
,
as
it
appeares
by
●hat
which
is
written
in
the
91.
Psalme
Who
so
dwelleth
in
the
secret
of
the
most
high
,
shall
abide
in
the
shadow
of
the
almightie
.
I
will
say
vnto
the
Lord
,
O
myne
hope
and
my
fortresse
:
hee
is
my
God
,
in
him
will
I
trust
.
And
also
,
O
come
let
vs
reioyce
vnto
the
Lord
:
Let
vs
sing
aloud
vnto
the
rocke
of
our
Saluation
.
It
is
hee
,
when
we
are
plunged
in
the
gulfes
of
aduersitie
and
threatned
of
a
totall
ruine
,
that
against
the
opinion
of
all
the
world
,
yea
often
of
our selues
,
draweth
vs
backe
from
the
danger
,
from
whence
it
seemed
that
there
was
no
issue
:
I
waited
patiently
for
the
Lord
,
and
he
enclyned
vnto
me
and
heard
my
cry
:
Hee
brought
me
also
out
of
the
horrible
pit
,
out
of
the
myrie
clay
,
and
set
my
feete
vppon
the
rocke
,
and
ordred
my
goings
.
In
briefe
as
the
Church
singeth
,
They
haue
often
tymes
afflicted
me
from
my
youth
(
may
Israell
now
say
)
they
haue
oftentimes
afflicted
me
from
my
youth
:
but
they
could
not
preuaile
against
me
.
And
also
,
They
came
about
me
like
bees
,
but
they
were
quenched
as
a
fire
of
thornes
,
for
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
I
shall
destroy
them
.
Thou
hast
thrust
sore
at
mee
,
that
I
might
fall
,
but
the
Lord
hath
holpen
me
.
The
Lord
is
my
strength
and
song
,
for
he
hath
been
my
deliuerance
.
The
right
hand
of
the
Lord
hath
done
valiantly
.
Even
when
God
doth
tempt
vs
by
tribulations
and
adversities
which
hee
sendeth
vs
,
as
by
pouerty
,
sicknesse
,
wars
,
famine
,
pestilence
,
Dauid
,
O
Lord
my
God
,
thou
hast
made
thy
woonderfull
woorkes
so
many
,
that
none
can
count
in
order
to
thee
thy
thoughts
towards
vs
.
And
also
,
My
mouth
shall
dailie
rehearse
thy
righteousnesse
,
and
thy
saluation
:
for
I
know
not
the
nomber
.
They
inherited
not
the
land
by
their
own
sword
,
neither
did
their
owne
arme
saue
them
:
but
thy
right
hand
,
and
thine
arme
,
and
the
light
of
thy
countenance
,
because
thou
diddest
fauour
them
.
And
we
must
yet
acknowledge
an
other
favour
,
in
that
hee
giueth
vs
the
right
vse
thereof
.
For
we
see
an
jnfinite
sort
that
abuse
thereof
,
and
turne
them
wholly
to
an
other
purpose
,
then
that
for
the
which
God
hath
giuen
them
;
the
which
sheweth
well
that
by
reason
of
the
corruption
and
vice
which
is
in
vs
,
wee
cannot
make
good
vse
of
his
graces
,
nor
apply
them
to
their
vses
,
nor
yet
know
the
end
for
the
which
he
gaue
them
vnto
vs
,
and
wherevnto
they
ought
to
tend
.
What
graces
also
doth
he
vnto
vs
,
when
through
his
mercy
hee
deliuereth
vs
from
so
many
miseries
and
euils
that
compasse
vs
about
,
by
reason
of
the
sinne
that
is
in
vs
?
Also
,
when
in
so
long
a
patience
,
hee
waiteth
for
the
time
wherein
we
should
turne
vnto
him
,
to
confesse
our
faults
,
and
jmplore
the
assistance
of
his
great
mercy
,
giuing
vs
leasure
to
repent
,
although
we
be
vnworthy
thereof
;
seejng
the
onely
jngratitude
which
wee
vse
towards
him
,
ought
to
bee
a
sufficient
cause
;
not
onely
to
withdraw
his
beneficence
from
vs
,
and
close
his
hand
of
bounty
quite
from
vs
;
but
also
rujnate
and
exterminate
vs
wholly
.
Wherein
hee
sheweth
that
which
is
sayd
of
him
,
that
,
The
Lord
is
full
of
compassion
and
mercie
,
slow
to
anger
,
and
of
great
kindnesse
.
And
who
hath
his
eye
alwayes
rather
turned
to
his
promises
to
execute
them
,
them
to
his
threatnings
to
remember
them
:
and
wee
see
by
experience
the
truth
of
that
which
Ose
the
Prophet
sayth
of
him
,
Deliuer
me
from
bloud
,
O
God
,
which
art
the
God
of
my
saluation
,
and
my
tongue
shall
sing
ioyfully
of
thy
righteousnesse
.
Open
thou
my
lippes
O
Lord
,
and
my
mouth
shall
shew
forth
thy
prayse
.
Seeing
then
that
hee
doth
vs
so
many
fauours
,
in
so
many
sorts
,
ought
wee
not
to
say
with
Dauid
,
What
shall
I
reuder
vnto
the
Lord
for
all
his
henefits
towards
mee
?
I
will
take
the
Cup
of
Saluation
,
and
call
vppon
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
¶
The
First
propertie
of
Faith
.
NOw
hauing
treated
the
definition
,
With
thee
is
the
well
of
life
,
and
in
thy
Light
shall
wee
see
light
.
An
vnwise
man
knoweth
it
not
,
and
a
foole
doth
not
vnderstand
this
.
And
yet
elsewhere
,
What
man
is
he
that
feareth
the
Lord
?
him
will
he
teach
the
way
that
he
shall
choose
.
Noe
likewise
,
Abraham
bejng
very
aged
,
receiued
a
promise
from
god
,
by
the
which
he
assured
him
,
that
he
should
haue
a
child
by
his
wife
Sara
,
who
neverthelesse
was
barren
,
and
besides
vncapable
to
conceaue
,
as
well
by
reason
of
her
age
,
as
of
naturall
meanes
which
failed
her
for
conceaving
.
Neverthelesse
this
patriarke
closed
his
eyes
at
all
this
;
and
had
no
regard
to
his
body
already
benummed
,
seejng
hee
was
almost
an
hundred
yeares
old
,
nor
yet
to
the
matrix
of
Sara
already
benummed
;
and
made
no
doubt
of
the
promise
of
God
in
mistrust
,
but
was
strengthened
by
Faith
,
Dauid
bejng
arriued
in
Sauls
campe
,
We
haue
jnfinite
other
examples
in
the
scripture
of
that
which
is
sayd
;
For
he
spake
and
it
was
done
,
hee
commaunded
and
it
stood
.
Sometimes
it
happeneth
,
My
God
my
God
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
,
and
art
farre
from
my
health
,
and
from
the
words
of
my
roaring
?
O
my
God
I
cry
by
day
,
but
thou
hearest
not
,
and
by
night
but
haue
no
audience
.
Bur
then
we
must
fight
vertuously
against
temptation
,
and
not
judge
of
the
loue
or
hatred
of
God
,
by
that
which
it
seemeth
to
appeare
vnto
vs
,
but
stand
firme
and
setled
in
the
promise
of
God
,
and
perswade
our selues
,
what
face
soever
he
sheweth
vs
,
that
neverthelesse
he
continues
the
same
,
without
altering
his
will
,
in
any
thing
,
or
changing
his
nature
in
any
sort
whatsoeuer
.
We
must
then
in
all
our
aduersities
,
haue
our
eyes
fixed
vpon
God
,
and
say
vnto
him
,
that
which
Dauid
sayth
,
I
haue
wayted
on
the
Lord
:
my
soule
hath
waited
,
and
I
haue
trusted
in
his
word
.
My
soule
waiteth
on
the
Lord
,
more
then
the
morning
watch
watcheth
for
the
morning
.
Also
,
I
haue
set
the
Lord
alwayes
beefore
me
:
for
hee
is
on
my
right
hand
,
thererefore
I
shall
not
slide
.
Wherefore
mine
heart
is
glad
and
my
tongue
reioyceth
;
my
flesh
also
doth
rest
in
hope
.
For
thou
wilt
not
leaue
my
soule
in
the
graue
;
neither
wilt
thou
suffer
thyne
holy
one
to
see
corruption
And
also
,
Concerning
the
workes
of
men
by
the
words
of
thy
lipps
I
kept
me
from
thy
pathes
of
the
cruell
man
.
Although
then
that
God
sheweth
vs
sometimes
an
euill
countenance
,
¶
The
second
propertie
of
Faith
.
THe
other
propertie
of
Faith
is
,
Iesus
Christ
hauing
tould
him
of
his
jnfirmitie
,
hee
durst
to
oppose
himselfe
against
that
he
sayd
,
and
to
affirme
diuers
times
,
that
he
was
ready
to
die
with
him
that
was
his
Maister
,
and
although
hee
were
forsaken
of
all
his
fellowes
,
yet
that
hee
would
follow
him
,
wheresoeuer
hee
went
:
and
neuerthelesse
,
In
my
prosperitie
I
sayd
,
I
shall
neuer
bee
mooued
,
for
thou
Lord
of
thy
goodnesse
hast
made
my
mountaines
to
stand
strong
:
but
thou
diddest
hide
thy
face
and
I
was
troubled
,
then
cryed
I
vnto
thee
,
O
Lord
,
and
prayed
to
my
Lord
.
That
considered
,
That
Faith
commeth
by
hearing
,
and
hearing
by
the
word
of
God
.
Moreouer
it
is
very
necessarie
,
principally
when
wee
are
assaulted
with
any
violent
temptation
,
that
for
to
sustaine
vs
,
wee
may
haue
a
recourse
,
not
onely
to
our
God
by
prayers
,
but
also
to
our
bretheren
,
which
we
thinke
to
be
well
aduaunced
in
the
knowledge
and
feare
of
God
;
and
too
plentifully
furnished
with
his
word
,
to
the
end
,
that
by
the
conference
which
wee
haue
with
them
;
wee
may
bee
raised
and
vpheld
by
the
comfort
which
they
shall
giue
vs
,
putting
vs
in
minde
of
those
parcels
of
Scripture
which
they
shall
know
to
bee
fit
to
fetch
our
hearts
againe
.
For
euen
as
wine
is
cast
vppon
the
face
of
a
man
that
is
swonded
,
to
awake
his
spirites
:
so
there
is
no
remedie
more
proper
to
comfort
our
brethren
in
tentations
,
then
the
word
,
when
it
is
fitly
applyed
vnto
them
.
One
yron
(
sayth
Salomon
)
sharpneth
an
other
,
when
they
are
rubbed
the
one
against
the
other
,
so
is
there
nothing
more
proper
to
whette
our
Faith
when
it
is
blunt
,
then
the
word
of
God
,
which
serueth
it
as
a
whetstone
,
and
more
when
it
is
alleadged
to
him
by
his
brethren
,
then
if
hee
meditated
it
himselfe
onely
.
S.
Iohn
Chrisostom
to
this
purpose
sayth
,
¶
The
Third
propertie
of
Faith
.
Most
gladly
therefore
I
will
rather
glorie
in
my
infirmitie
,
that
the
power
of
Christ
might
dwell
in
me
.
Therefore
haue
I
delectation
in
infirmities
,
in
rebukes
,
in
necessities
,
in
persecutions
,
in
anguishes
for
Christs
sake
:
for
when
I
am
weake
,
then
am
I
strong
.
Dauid
.
Cast
me
not
away
from
thy
presence
,
and
take
not
thy
holy
Spirit
from
mee
.
Beeing
armed
with
all
these
peeces
,
and
with
the
vertue
from
aboue
,
he
is
jnuincible
,
which
wee
see
in
the
examples
which
are
set
before
vs
in
the
Scripture
.
As
in
Abraham
,
Iesus
Christ
was
spread
ouer
the
whole
world
,
was
there
euer
seene
such
examples
of
Faith
in
Christians
,
as
those
that
were
found
in
the
time
of
Dioclesian
,
wherein
men
held
nothing
more
precious
then
martyrdome
?
wherevnto
they
ranne
as
it
had
been
to
nuptials
,
without
that
any
of
them
either
by
promises
or
by
threatnings
could
bee
turned
from
their
Faith
,
what
aduantages
or
torments
soeuer
were
presented
before
their
eyes
;
yea
that
the
meanes
which
the
enemie
vsed
to
turne
them
form
there
religion
and
confession
of
their
Faith
,
was
,
that
which
jnflamed
them
the
more
;
so
that
there
was
no
man
but
esteemed
himselfe
happie
when
for
the
name
of
God
he
had
the
meanes
to
dye
sooner
then
his
fellow
.
And
there
was
more
presse
amongst
them
to
suffer
martyrdome
,
and
the
cruellest
torments
that
the
wicked
could
jmagine
,
then
to
purchase
Bishopricks
and
Ecclesiasticall
dignities
.
Faith
is
like
vnto
the
Iron
,
the
which
the
more
it
is
beaten
the
harder
it
is
,
¶
Of
things
conioyned
vnto
Faith
.
IT
is
now
tyme
to
declare
the
things
which
are
so
conioyned
and
vnited
vnto
Faith
,
that
they
cannot
bee
separated
from
it
:
as
are
the
Spirit
of
God
,
Charitie
,
Hope
,
¶
The
first
thing
Ioyned
to
Faith
,
The
holy
Ghost
.
THe
first
shall
be
taken
out
of
that
which
is
written
in
the
7.
of
the
Gospell
according
to
S.
Iohn
verse
38.
Hee
that
beleeueth
on
mee
as
the
Scripture
hath
sayd
,
out
of
his
bellie
shall
flowe
riuers
of
water
of
life
.
But
this
he
spake
of
the
Spirit
,
which
they
that
beleeue
on
him
should
receiue
;
for
the
holy
Ghost
was
not
yet
there
,
because
that
Iesus
was
not
yet
glorified
.
Whereof
may
be
gathered
that
by
Faith
wee
receiue
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
doth
regenerate
and
sanctifie
vs
,
in
such
sort
,
that
wee
by
his
meanes
,
are
made
fitte
,
ready
,
&
lightsome
to
all
the
workes
which
the
Apostles
reciteth
.
Ephesians
,
That
wee
are
his
workemanship
,
created
in
Iesus
Christ
vnto
good
workes
,
which
God
hath
before
ordained
that
wee
should
walke
in
them
.
Iesus
Christ
,
which
gaue
himselfe
for
vs
that
hee
might
redeeme
vs
from
all
vnrighteousnesse
,
&
purge
vs
a
peculiar
people
vnto
himselfe
zealous
of
good
workes
.
These
parcels
and
jnfinite
others
,
sowed
in
the
Scripture
in
diuers
places
sufficiently
shew
that
the
Faith
of
our
vocation
and
justification
and
of
the
Light
,
vnto
the
which
it
hath
pleased
him
to
call
vs
,
For
why
are
wee
called
good
trees
,
Iesus
Christ
,
saith
.
That
there
shal
be
no
more
Eunuke
that
shall
be
able
to
say
by
complaint
that
hee
is
a
drye
tree
:
because
that
euery
one
of
them
should
keepe
his
sabbaths
,
and
should
chuse
the
things
which
hee
would
haue
,
and
should
keepe
his
alliance
.
Hee
would
teach
thereby
that
in
his
Church
,
there
should
be
no
barren
or
fruitelesse
person
,
that
all
should
bee
as
sayth
Dauid
,
Such
as
be
planted
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
shall
florish
in
the
courts
of
the
house
of
our
God
.
Iesus
Christ
nether
circumcision
auaileth
any
thing
,
nor
vncircumcision
,
but
a
new
creature
?
openly
declaring
,
that
by
Faith
men
are
so
renewed
that
they
chaung
their
thoughts
,
their
affections
,
their
words
,
their
workes
,
their
manners
and
their
whole
life
and
conuersation
,
the
which
they
study
to
make
comformable
wholy
to
the
will
of
God
,
so
as
it
is
propounded
vnto
vs
in
his
Lawes
and
holy
ordinances
:
The
Prophet
Esay
sayth
,
that
at
the
comming
of
Iesus
Christ
,
which
is
the
cheife
,
the
foundation
,
Iohn
)
is
light
,
and
in
him
is
no
darknesse
at
all
.
If
we
say
wee
haue
fellowship
with
him
,
and
walke
in
darkenesse
,
we
lye
,
and
do
not
the
truth
.
But
if
wee
walke
in
the
light
,
as
he
is
the
light
,
then
haue
wee
fellowship
one
with
an
other
,
and
the
bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
his
sonne
cleanseth
vs
from
all
sinne
.
By
that
we
see
plainlie
,
that
we
haue
no
society
and
acquaintance
with
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
,
if
we
do
not
our
dutie
,
and
jndeauour
our selues
to
liue
holily
,
and
conforme
our
selus
with
all
our
thoghts
,
affections
,
words
,
and
actions
,
to
his
holy
will
,
which
is
layd
before
vs
in
his
law
,
which
the
same
Apostle
confirmes
moreouer
,
in
his
first
Epistle
chapt.

As
many
as
abide
in
him
,
sinne
not
;
whosoeuer
sinneth
hath
not
seene
him
,
neither
knowne
him
.
Babes
,
let
no
man
deceaue
you
,
hee
that
doth
righteousnes
is
righteous
,
euen
as
he
is
righteous
;
hee
that
committeth
sinne
is
of
the
Deuill
,
for
the
Diuell
sinneth
from
the
beginning
:
for
this
purpose
appeared
the
Sonne
of
God
,
to
loose
the
workes
of
the
Diuell
;
whosoeuer
is
borne
of
God
sinneth
not
,
for
his
seed
remayneth
in
him
,
and
hee
cannot
sinne
,
because
he
is
borne
of
God
.
In
this
are
the
children
of
God
knowne
and
the
children
of
the
Diuell
,
whosoeuer
doth
not
righteousnes
is
not
of
God
,
nor
he
that
loueth
not
his
brother
:
for
if
we
would
sinne
willingly
,
and
liue
disordinately
,
taking
pleasure
to
doe
evill
,
and
seeking
the
occasions
and
the
meanes
to
follow
and
satisfie
our
worldly
desires
and
appetites
,
we
should
not
be
freed
;
but
should
shew
thereby
that
wee
are
yet
slaues
to
sinne
;
and
that
wee
did
not
participate
any
whit
in
the
benefits
of
Iesus
Christ
,
who
came
into
the
world
to
no
other
end
,
but
to
deliuer
vs
from
the
miserable
seruitude
of
sinne
,
and
set
our
consciences
vppon
full
and
entire
libertie
.
Wee
must
then
endeavour
and
jmploye
our selues
with
all
our
might
to
liue
well
,
to
shew
that
wee
are
francke
and
free
,
and
that
our
condition
is
no
more
servile
,
as
it
was
in
the
time
of
our
jgnorance
.
(
because
the
reward
of
sinne
is
death
)
must
we
not
necessarily
(
if
wee
bee
faithfull
and
desire
to
come
to
life
)
abstaine
from
all
those
things
which
may
bring
vs
to
death
?
Who
is
he
that
shall
conuerse
in
the
Tabernacle
of
the
Lord
,
and
that
shall
be
so
happie
as
to
haue
a
sure
habitation
in
his
holy
mountaine
?
He
answereth
,
He
that
walketh
vprightly
,
and
worketh
righteousnes
,
and
speaketh
the
truth
in
his
heart
.
He
that
slandereth
not
with
his
tongue
,
nor
doth
euill
to
his
neighbours
,
nor
receaueth
a
false
report
against
his
neighbour
.
Which
he
yet
repeateth
elsewhere
,
saying
,
Who
shall
ascend
into
the
mountaine
of
the
Lord
?
and
who
shall
stand
in
his
holy
place
?
Euen
he
that
hath
innocent
hands
,
and
a
pure
heart
:
which
hath
not
lift
vp
his
mind
vnto
vanitie
,
nor
sworne
deceitfully
.
He
shall
receaue
blessing
from
the
Lord
,
and
righteousnes
from
the
God
of
his
saluation
.
This
is
the
generation
of
them
that
seeke
him
.
This
is
Iacob
.
Then
must
all
Christians
to
shew
that
they
are
true
,
&
not
hipocrites
,
nor
dissimulate
,
studie
,
and
exercise
themselues
to
follow
vertue
,
and
to
flye
from
and
detest
vice
;
and
that
they
endeauour
to
resemble
Gods
Angels
;
otherwise
they
are
but
shame
and
scandall
in
the
house
of
God
,
to
dishonour
it
:
the
which
should
bee
adorned
and
hung
with
all
holinesse
:
as
it
is
written
in
the
93.
Psalme
,
Thy
testimonies
are
very
true
,
holynesse
becommeth
thine
house
,
O
Lord
,
for
euer
.
Such
kind
of
folke
them
as
liue
wickedly
in
the
Church
of
god
,
are
like
so
many
warts
in
a
body
,
which
serue
but
to
disfigure
it
,
and
as
rottonnesse
in
a
peece
of
timber
.
Wee
must
not
thinke
that
wee
can
dwell
long
in
Iesus
Christ
,
who
is
the
true
sappe
of
the
vine
,
if
we
beare
no
fruit
;
for
he
that
is
barren
and
fruitlesse
,
Call
vpon
me
in
the
day
of
trouble
,
so
will
I
deliuer
thee
,
and
thou
shalt
glorifie
me
.
But
to
the
wicked
he
sayth
,
What
hast
thou
to
doe
to
declare
mine
ordinances
,
that
thou
shouldest
take
my
couenant
in
thy
mouth
,
seeing
thou
hatest
to
bee
reformed
,
and
hast
cast
my
words
behind
thee
.
For
when
thou
seest
a
theefe
,
thou
runnest
with
him
,
and
thou
art
partaker
with
the
adulterers
.
Thou
giuest
thy
mouth
to
euill
,
and
with
thy
tongue
thou
forgettest
deceit
.
Thou
sittest
,
&c.
The
second
thing
ioyned
to
Faith
.
THe
other
thing
which
is
inseparably
joyned
to
Faith
is
Charitie
,
Iohn
.
If
wee
loue
not
our
brother
whome
we
see
,
how
can
wee
loue
God
that
is
invisible
?
besides
that
our
neighbours
,
being
our
brethren
,
and
members
of
Iesus
Christ
,
as
wee
are
,
it
is
not
possible
that
wee
can
remember
that
in
our selues
,
but
we
shall
be
stirred
vp
to
loue
them
and
shew
that
we
loue
them
,
by
all
the
good
offices
that
wee
can
do
for
them
.
And
it
sufficeth
not
but
wee
must
also
loue
vertue
,
and
our
dutie
,
to
acquite
vs
towards
God
and
our
brethren
,
of
that
which
wee
are
obliged
to
them
,
for
we
do
not
only
owe
them
assistance
in
their
necessities
,
but
also
the
care
which
wee
ought
to
haue
,
as
well
of
them
as
of
their
salvation
,
to
procure
it
with
all
our
might
,
and
by
all
the
meanes
wee
can
.
These
Loues
draw
on
others
with
them
.
For
if
wee
loue
God
,
The
third
thtng
ioyned
to
Faith
.
hope
maketh
not
ashamed
.
And
Esay
sayth
also
,
that
whosoeuer
hopeth
in
God
shal
neuer
be
deceaued
,
of
that
which
he
looketh
for
from
him
.
And
Dauid
sayth
,
Vnto
thee
,
O
Lord
,
I
lift
vp
my
soule
.
My
God
,
I
trust
in
thee
let
me
not
be
confounded
:
Let
not
mine
enemies
reioyce
ouer
me
.
Also
,
I
wayted
patiently
for
the
Lord
,
and
he
inclined
vnto
mee
,
and
heard
my
cry
,
he
brought
me
also
out
of
the
horrible
pit
,
out
of
the
myrie
clay
,
and
set
my
feet
vppon
the
rocke
,
and
ordered
my
goings
.
And
also
,
He
is
my
goodnesse
and
my
fortresse
,
my
Tower
and
my
deliuerer
,
my
shield
,
and
in
him
I
trust
,
which
subdueth
my
people
vnder
me
.
Now
this
hope
,
It
is
an
anker
,
the
which
being
cast
,
not
as
others
in
the
earth
,
but
in
Heaven
,
it
is
jnfallible
,
and
alwaies
certaine
to
hold
the
vessell
during
the
storme
,
so
that
it
cannot
make
shipwracke
.
And
as
saith
S.
Augustine
.
This
hope
maketh
the
great
and
horrible
tempests
to
seeme
little
,
and
the
little
ones
none
.
Which
wee
see
in
Iob
,
who
sayth
,
that
he
hoped
in
God
,
although
hee
saw
his
arme
stretched
out
against
him
,
and
ready
to
strike
,
to
kill
him
,
and
ouerthrow
him
quite
.
We
see
also
the
effect
of
this
hope
in
Dauid
,
who
was
neuer
astonyed
whatsoever
aduersity
befell
him
,
as
may
bee
seene
in
the
27.
Psalme
,
The
Lord
is
my
light
and
my
saluation
,
whome
shall
I
feare
?
The
Lord
is
the
strength
of
my
life
,
of
whome
shall
I
be
affrayd
?
When
the
wicked
euen
mine
enemies
,
and
my
foes
came
vpon
me
to
eate
vp
my
flesh
,
they
stumbled
and
fell
.
Also
,
Thou
preseruest
mee
from
trouble
:
thou
compassest
mee
about
with
ioyfull
deliuerance
.
My
soule
keepeth
silence
vnto
God
:
of
him
commeth
my
saluation
.
And
following
,
In
God
is
my
saluation
and
my
glorye
,
the
rocke
of
my
strength
,
in
God
is
my
trust
.
And
that
which
maketh
this
hope
of
the
Christian
man
,
can
neuer
bee
confounded
,
is
,
that
it
sets
before
it
alwayes
his
head
,
who
is
in
Heaven
,
and
who
can
now
no
more
be
suncke
by
floods
or
deluges
of
water
,
how
great
and
fearefull
soeuer
they
be
.
Now
,
though
a
man
should
be
vp
to
the
necke
in
water
,
and
that
his
head
were
still
aboue
water
,
all
the
other
members
could
not
be
drowned
,
the
head
being
eminent
and
floating
vppon
the
superficies
of
the
water
:
also
the
Church
in
generall
,
and
euery
member
thereof
in
particular
,
could
not
be
drowned
nor
ouerflowne
,
their
head
being
alwayes
eleuated
ouer
all
the
stormes
&
tempests
in
the
world
,
which
he
commaundeth
with
a
greater
power
then
euen
a
King
doth
his
subiects
.
For
the
obedience
which
it
beareth
him
,
is
as
suddaine
as
the
commaundement
which
he
giueth
them
,
which
is
not
found
among
men
,
in
what
degree
of
authoritie
soeuer
they
bee
in
the
world
.
Faith
is
ioyned
with
the
Spirit
of
regeneration
.
FAith
is
also
joyned
with
the
holy
Ghost
,
This
onely
would
I
know
of
you
,
whether
yee
receiued
the
spirit
by
the
deedes
of
the
lawe
,
or
by
the
hearing
of
the
fayth
?
Are
yee
such
fooles
,
that
after
yee
haue
begun
in
the
Spirit
,
yee
would
now
end
in
the
flesh
?
for
otherwise
without
the
spirit
,
Faith
were
not
sufficient
to
regenerate
vs
,
and
to
make
vs
new
creatures
.
Yea
without
the
vertue
of
the
Spirit
,
Fayth
could
not
be
produced
nor
begotten
in
vs
;
as
sayth
the
Apostle
,
hauing
the
spirit
of
Faith
,
according
as
it
is
written
,
I
haue
beleeued
,
therefore
haue
I
spoken
,
also
wee
beleeue
and
therefore
wee
speake
,
Iesus
Christ
(
who
is
the
life
,
the
way
,
and
the
truth
)
cannot
reside
nor
dwell
in
vs
.
And
although
that
our
aduersaries
thinke
and
say
,
that
if
any
haue
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
hee
is
not
his
,
and
who
is
it
that
can
assure
vs
that
wee
are
the
children
of
God
,
but
this
Spirit
of
adoption
,
by
the
which
wee
crie
Abba
Father
?
And
which
witnesseth
with
our
spirit
,
that
we
are
the
children
of
God
,
and
by
consequent
his
heires
,
which
is
likewise
the
principall
cause
of
all
the
good
workes
that
we
do
,
and
of
all
the
good
thoughts
and
affections
,
which
wee
haue
that
this
Spirit
which
the
scripture
compareth
vnto
water
,
the
which
beeing
powred
vpon
a
drie
Land
,
causeth
the
seedes
to
spring
and
fructifie
which
we
are
cast
vppon
it
.
As
sayth
the
Apostle
.
That
the
fruite
of
the
Spirit
is
Charitie
,
ioye
,
peace
,
a
patient
Spirit
,
Louingnesse
,
goodnesse
,
Loyaltie
,
softnesse
,
Temperance
,
How
also
should
wee
resist
the
flesh
with
the
lustes
and
workes
thereof
?
that
is
to
say
,
adulterie
,
whoredom
,
filthinesse
,
jnsolencie
,
jdolatry
,
prisonings
,
enmitie
,
strife
,
spitefulnesse
,
anger
,
quarrels
,
diuisions
sects
,
enuies
,
murders
,
drunkenesse
,
gluttonie
,
and
other
like
things
,
which
cannot
inherit
the
Kingdome
of
God
:
were
it
not
for
the
vertue
and
force
of
this
Spirit
,
wherewith
wee
are
armed
?
how
also
could
we
hould
firme
against
so
many
temptations
&
assaults
,
which
are
continually
presented
vnto
vs
by
Satan
,
the
world
,
tyrants
,
hereticks
,
hipocrites
,
&
other
enemies
of
the
Church
:
if
we
were
not
clothed
with
this
vertue
?
Also
who
would
comfort
vs
in
the
middest
of
so
many
aduersities
,
and
tribulations
,
wherewith
our
poore
life
is
besieged
,
whiles
wee
liue
in
this
world
,
were
it
not
this
comforter
,
which
is
giuen
vs
of
the
Father
,
by
the
meanes
of
his
Sonne
?
Deliuer
mee
from
bloud
,
O
God
which
art
the
God
of
my
saluation
,
and
my
tongue
shall
sing
ioyfully
of
thy
righteousnesse
.
Open
thou
my
lips
oh
Lord
,
and
my
mouth
shall
shew
forth
thy
prayse
.
Moreover
,
without
this
spirit
wee
could
not
loue
God
nor
our
neighbours
;
because
that
the
charitie
of
God
is
by
it
powred
in
our
hearts
,
as
sayth
the
Apostle
.
It
is
also
the
earnest
,
the
pledge
,
&
token
which
God
hath
left
to
his
children
,
to
assure
them
of
eternall
life
,
The
first
man
Adam
was
made
a
liuing
soule
,
and
the
last
Adam
was
made
a
quickning
spirit
.
We
may
then
well
desire
of
God
,
as
did
Dauid
,
tha●
hee
would
preserue
vs
this
spirit
,
and
say
to
him
as
sayth
the
Prophet
,
Creat●
in
me
a
cleane
heart
,
O
God
,
and
renewe
●
right
spirit
within
me
.
Cast
me
not
away
form
thy
presence
,
and
take
not
thine
holy
●pirit
from
me
.
Restore
me
to
the
ioye
of
●hy
saluation
,
and
stablish
me
with
thy
free
spirit
.
Let
vs
then
diligently
keepe
our selues
from
grieuing
it
,
If
wee
are
once
filled
with
this
spirit
,
we
shall
flote
vpon
all
the
waues
and
floods
of
this
world
.
And
shall
neuer
bee
drowned
nor
suncke
,
what
stormes
and
tempests
soeuer
may
stirre
and
threaten
vs
:
no
more
then
a
bushell
or
other
wodden
vessel●
being
vppon
the
water
,
neuer
goeth
to
the
bottom
,
being
filled
with
wind
.
Also
wee
being
prouided
and
full
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
who
is
compared
to
the
wind
in
the
scripture
,
can
neuer
bee
ouerflowen
nor
couered
vnder
the
waters
,
being
still
vpheld
by
the
hand
of
our
God
,
who
will
make
vs
to
swimme
on
the
top
of
the
water
,
as
Noah
and
his
children
did
,
during
the
deluge
,
being
inclosed
in
the
Arke
.
¶
The
first
thing
contrary
to
Faith
,
is
Ignorance
.
Faith
is
a
subsistence
of
things
hoped
for
,
and
a
demonstration
of
things
not
seene
.
And
a
little
after
,
By
Faith
wee
vnderstand
that
the
ages
haue
beene
ordayned
by
the
word
of
God
,
to
bee
made
a
demonstration
of
invisible
things
.
Which
sheweth
well
that
we
cannot
beleeue
the
things
that
are
reuealed
vnto
vs
in
the
holy
scripture
,
but
wee
must
haue
a
certaine
knowledge
of
them
;
and
such
a
one
as
the
Mathematicians
may
haue
of
their
Theoremes
by
the
mathematicke
demonstrations
;
the
which
being
grounded
vppon
euident
principles
and
and
maximes
,
cannot
be
but
most
certaine
and
jndubitable
.
Also
must
Faith
be
grounded
vpon
the
reuelation
of
the
mysteries
and
secrets
o●
God
contained
in
the
scripture
,
Esay
,
The
Oxe
knoweth
his
Lord
,
and
the
Asse
his
Maisters
manger
.
But
my
people
know
not
me
at
all
.
Willing
to
giue
the
people
to
vnderstand
which
he
had
chosen
and
taken
into
his
allyance
,
that
they
were
altogether
prophane
and
vnfaithfull
.
The
Lord
will
bee
a
refuge
for
the
poore
,
a
refuge
in
due
time
,
euen
in
affliction
.
And
they
that
know
thy
name
will
trust
in
thee
,
for
thou
,
Lord
,
hast
not
failed
them
that
seeke
thee
.
Wherevppon
must
be
obserued
,
Iesus
Christ
is
the
light
of
the
wolrd
,
which
lighteneth
all
men
?
If
it
be
not
to
giue
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
we
cannot
haue
any
faith
,
nor
hope
for
life
thereby
,
if
first
we
be
not
illuminated
in
a
true
knowledge
of
his
word
,
the
which
for
this
reason
calleth
himselfe
the
light
of
life
,
and
science
of
saluation
?
Why
also
sayth
the
Apostle
,
that
the
sensuall
man
hath
no
knowledge
of
Gods
matters
,
I
reioyced
when
●hey
sayd
to
me
,
wee
will
goe
into
the
house
●f
the
Lord
,
Our
feete
shall
stand
in
thy
Gates
.
O
Ierusalem
;
Ierusalem
is
builded
as
a
Cittie
,
that
is
compact
together
●n
it
felfe
.
And
also
.
O
Lord
of
Hosts
how
amyable
are
thy
Tabernacles
.
My
soule
longeth
,
yea
,
and
fainteth
for
the
courts
of
the
Lord
;
for
myne
heart
and
my
flesh
reioyce
in
the
liuing
God
.
And
in
the
42.
Psalme
.
As
the
Hart
brayeth
for
the
riuers
of
water
,
so
panteth
my
soule
after
thee
O
God
.
My
soule
thirsteth
for
God
,
euen
for
the
liuing
God
.
When
shall
I
come
and
appeare
before
the
presence
of
God
.
And
in
the
95.
Psalme
,
reproaching
to
the
people
their
obstinacy
,
jncredulitie
,
and
jgnorance
,
he
sayd
,
Forty
yeares
haue
I
contended
with
this
generation
,
and
said
,
they
are
a
people
that
erre
in
heart
,
for
they
haue
not
known
my
ways
.
Wherefore
I
sweare
in
my
wrath
,
saying
,
surely
they
shall
not
enter
into
my
rest
.
Whervpon
it
euidently
appeareth
,
That
Faith
is
by
hearing
,
and
hearing
by
the
word
of
God
.
To
day
if
you
will
heare
his
voyce
harden
not
your
hearts
,
as
in
Meribath
,
and
as
in
the
day
of
Massah
,
in
the
wildernesse
,
where
your
Fathers
tempted
mee
,
prooued
mee
though
they
had
seene
my
workes
,
Fortie
yeares
haue
I
contended
with
this
generation
,
and
sayd
they
are
a
people
that
erre
in
heart
,
for
they
haue
not
knowne
my
wayes
,
wherefore
I
sware
in
my
wrath
,
saying
,
Surely
they
shall
not
enter
into
my
rest
.
Also
,
Teach
vs
to
nomber
our
dayes
,
that
wee
may
applie
our
hearts
vnto
wisedome
.
Returne
(
O
Lord
how
long
)
and
bee
pacified
toward
thy
seruants
.
But
what
auaileth
it
to
some
to
rest
in
that
,
This
is
my
welbeloued
Sonne
in
whome
I
am
well
pleased
,
hearken
vnto
him
.
Moreouer
if
we
belieue
Iesus
to
be
our
Christ
,
that
is
to
say
,
our
King
,
high
priest
,
and
Prophet
;
were
it
not
a
great
fault
,
to
refuse
to
bee
instructed
by
his
doctrine
,
(
seeing
hee
is
our
Prophet
)
or
to
bee
reconciled
to
God
by
his
Sacrifice
,
beeing
our
high
Priest
,
&
Priest
according
to
the
order
of
Melchizedeck
?
Also
,
Come
vnto
mee
all
yee
that
labour
and
are
heauie
loaden
,
and
I
will
ease
you
,
Take
my
yoake
vpon
you
,
and
learne
of
me
that
I
am
kind
and
louing
of
heart
,
and
you
shall
finde
rest
to
your
soules
;
for
my
yoake
is
easie
and
my
burthen
is
light
.
Moreouer
if
God
promiseth
to
powre
his
Spirit
vppon
all
persons
generally
,
To
heare
his
voyce
,
to
liue
,
wee
must
obay
him
,
and
not
hope
to
haue
life
by
any
other
meanes
then
by
Faith
and
knowledge
of
his
word
.
For
it
was
it
whereby
the
world
was
created
in
the
beginning
and
kept
euer
since
in
his
being
,
and
the
means
also
by
the
which
the
Church
is
animated
to
hope
to
liue
eternally
.
¶
The
Second
point
contrary
to
Faith
,
is
Infidelitie
.
THe
other
thing
contrary
to
Faith
,
And
euen
as
good
meat
cannot
nou●ish
a
body
,
vnlesse
it
bee
not
taken
and
eaten
,
or
which
being
taken
,
is
not
well
digested
:
so
the
word
of
God
cannot
bee
profitable
to
their
saluation
,
being
not
well
vnderstood
,
nor
by
them
referred
to
her
end
,
which
is
Iesus
Christ
.
¶
The
Third
thing
contrarie
to
Faith
,
is
Heresie
.
HEresie
also
is
a
kind
of
Infidelity
,
though
it
seeme
that
it
is
grounded
vpon
the
word
,
¶
The
fourth
thing
contrary
to
Faith
.
THe
Schismatickes
are
also
contrary
to
Faith
,
Two
extremities
of
Faith
:
The
first
named
Presumption
,
which
is
the
fift
point
,
also
contrary
to
Faith
.
S.
Augustine
,
if
it
bee
examined
●nd
ivdged
without
the
mercie
of
God
which
is
the
cause
for
the
which
the
A●ostle
sayth
,
The
Chil●ren
of
men
are
vanity
,
the
chiefe
men
are
●ars
,
to
lay
them
vpon
a
ballance
they
are
altogether
Lighter
then
vanitie
.
We
mus●
not
then
make
any
accompt
of
all
those
things
wherein
men
glorie
,
as
of
their
wisedome
,
as
of
those
of
whome
Daui●
spake
.
Which
sayd
,
with
our
tongue
wi●…
we
preuaile
,
our
lippes
are
our
owne
,
who
〈◊〉
the
Lord
ouer
vs
?
For
we
haue
alwaie●
knowne
,
that
all
those
high
minds
who
trust
in
their
owne
determinations
,
and
who
haue
thought
to
get
estimation
by
the
greatnesse
of
their
vnderstandings
and
to
aduance
themselues
by
the
subtiltie
of
their
wits
,
vnto
some
high
degree
of
honour
and
glorie
,
haue
still
been
brought
downe
by
God
,
who
resisteth
the
proud
,
whereof
the
Scripture
furnisheth
vs
with
examples
inough
,
of
Achitophell
,
Sobua
,
Aman
,
and
others
such
like
,
who
thought
that
nothing
could
hinder
them
,
but
that
by
their
industrie
they
should
attaine
to
what
they
did
pretend
,
the
which
the
Prophet
also
teacheth
vs
,
saying
.
The
Lord
breaketh
the
eounsell
of
the
heathen
and
bringeth
to
naught
the
deuises
of
the
people
.
And
wee
must
presume
no
more
of
our
strength
,
Our
shield
appertaineth
to
the
Lord
,
and
our
King
to
the
holy
one
of
Israell
.
And
also
,
The
King
is
not
saued
by
the
multitude
of
an
hoast
,
neither
is
the
mightie
man
deliuered
by
great
strength
.
And
in
the
44.
Psalme
,
They
inherite
not
the
Land
by
their
owne
Sword
,
neither
did
their
owne
arme
saue
them
.
But
thy
●ight
hand
and
thine
arme
,
and
the
light
of
thy
countenance
,
because
thou
diddest
●auour
them
.
We
ought
not
also
to
presume
any
thing
of
our
righteousnes
,
Because
thou
hast
this
opi●ion
of
thy selfe
,
to
be
faultie
in
nothing
;
I
will
call
thee
in
question
,
and
when
thy
life
shall
be
well
tryed
and
examined
,
it
shall
be
known
whether
thou
art
so
pure
and
cleane
,
●s
thou
thinkest
.
We
ought
to
take
heed
of
receauing
these
false
opinions
in
our
minds
,
that
we
are
or
can
be
so
per●ect
,
but
that
our
jmperfections
doe
alwaies
surmount
all
the
perfections
and
●ertue
that
is
in
vs
.
Enter
not
(
saith
the
Prophet
)
into
iudgement
with
thy
seruant
,
for
in
thy
sight
shall
none
that
liueth
be
iu●tified
.
There
is
speech
of
a
history
of
Pericles
,
who
after
hee
had
long
administred
the
common
wealth
of
Athens
,
and
managed
the
publique
finances
and
reuenues
,
was
desirous
to
make
vp
his
accompts
,
to
make
knowen
the
fidelitie
which
he
had
vsed
in
his
charge●
Alcibiades
comming
to
see
him
,
and
seeing
him
so
busie
about
the
matter
abouesayd
,
sayd
vnto
him
,
that
it
were
much
better
if
hee
did
looke
rather
not
to
giue
accompt
,
then
to
giue
it
.
Which
all
faithfull
and
honest
men
ought
to
apply
to
themselues
in
regard
of
God
,
and
to
beleeue
that
there
is
nothing
more
sure
and
expedient
for
them
,
then
not
to
enter
in
accompts
with
this
Soveraigne
Lord
.
But
to
say
vnto
him
a●
did
the
seruant
who
was
jndebted
tenn●
Thousand
Talents
;
Lord
haue
patience
,
and
deale
not
rigorouslie
with
mee
,
I
confesse
that
I
am
indebted
such
a
great
sum
as
it
is
impossible
for
me
to
paye
.
I
haue
●
goodwill
to
doe
it
,
but
I
want
the
meanes
▪
By
meanes
whereof
I
beseech
thee
that
would
please
thee
to
forbeare
mee
,
and
〈◊〉
vse
thy
pittie
towards
me
,
to
the
end
I
may
be
able
to
acquite
my selfe
.
Those
also
that
trust
in
their
riches
,
That
it
might
rest
,
and
that
it
had
goods
inough
for
many
yeares
;
and
that
for
this
reason
it
should
not
care
nor
feare
that
the
goods
could
faile
.
And
as
he
made
these
discourses
in
his
mind
,
hee
was
adjourned
to
appeare
that
present
hower
before
the
judgement
seat
of
God
,
to
giue
an
accompt
of
his
administration
.
Which
is
an
example
that
sheweth
vs
plainely
,
that
all
the
trust
that
men
set
in
their
riches
,
honours
,
strength
,
wisedome
,
might
,
and
credite
,
is
vaine
and
deceitfull
.
And
as
sayth
the
Prophet
,
That
such
people
take
lying
to
ground
their
hope
vppon
,
the
which
saith
Iob
may
be
compared
to
a
cobwebbe
,
which
may
be
violated
by
the
onely
sleight
of
a
Flye
.
Let
it
not
then
bee
therein
,
nor
in
the
arme
and
all
the
glory
of
the
flesh
,
that
men
settle
their
hope
.
For
that
,
to
speake
properly
,
is
nothing
else
but
to
conceaue
wind
,
and
after
to
bring
forth
some
storme
.
Which
we
see
in
the
people
of
Israell
,
which
set
their
hope
sometimes
in
the
strength
of
the
Egiptians
,
Some
trust
in
Chariots
,
and
some
in
horses
:
but
we
will
remember
the
name
of
our
God
.
They
are
brought
downe
and
fallen
,
but
wee
are
risen
and
stand
vpright
.
By
the
things
which
haue
been
spoken
of
,
it
appeareth
that
there
is
nothing
more
contrary
to
the
faith
of
a
christian
man
,
nor
that
is
more
damageable
vnto
him
,
then
to
put
his
trust
in
himselfe
,
or
in
the
other
creatures
,
nor
which
sooner
precipitateth
those
that
ground
&
rely
thervpon
,
&
that
presume
that
by
their
means
they
might
obtaine
that
which
they
desire
and
pursue
:
for
it
is
of
God
onely
,
that
the
euents
of
our
counsels
(
bee
they
happie
or
vnhappie
)
depend
,
by
reason
whereof
it
is
most
requisite
for
vs
,
to
humble
our selues
alwaies
vnder
the
mighty
hand
of
God
,
and
acknowledge
that
all
our
felicite
cannot
depend
of
any
other
thing
,
¶
The
other
extremitie
of
Faith
,
which
is
the
sixt
,
which
is
contrary
to
it
.
THe
other
exttemitie
of
Faith
,
is
mistrust
,
This
mistrust
proceedes
of
diuers
causes
.
For
the
rod
of
the
wicked
shall
not
rest
on
the
lot
of
the
ritghteous
▪
least
the
righteous
put
foorth
their
hand
vnto
wickednesse
.
Vnto
whome
Iesus
Christ
,
walking
vppon
the
waters
of
the
Sea
,
commaunded
him
to
come
out
of
his
boate
,
and
to
come
to
him
vppon
the
waters
which
hee
did
.
But
when
hee
was
in
the
mid
way
,
and
that
the
windes
began
to
rise
,
and
the
waues
to
swell
,
hee
beganne
to
be
affraide
,
and
to
sincke
into
the
water
,
because
that
hee
did
not
any
more
remember
,
the
words
of
Iesus
Christ
,
in
the
which
if
he
had
altogether
setled
himselfe
,
the
superficies
of
the
water
had
alwayes
been
to
him
as
a
plancke
,
and
hee
should
haue
gone
vpon
it
,
as
vpon
the
Land
which
is
firme
and
solide
.
But
hauing
forgotten
it
,
and
euen
doubting
of
the
truth
and
certainty
thereof
,
hee
began
to
sincke
in
the
water
,
in
daunger
to
be
drowned
.
That
was
the
cause
to
make
him
crye
to
Iesus
Christ
that
hee
would
saue
him
,
and
that
hee
was
in
daunger
to
perrish
,
wherevpon
Iesus
Christ
to
make
him
knowe
the
cause
thereof
,
said
vnto
him
,
Oh
man
of
little
Faith
,
why
hast
thou
doubted
?
As
if
hee
should
haue
sayd
vnto
him
,
that
the
occasion
of
the
daunger
wherein
hee
found
himselfe
,
was
,
that
hee
had
not
altogether
assured
himselfe
of
the
word
which
he
had
spoken
vnto
him
.
And
to
this
purpose
may
bee
fitted
the
apologie
of
the
Hart
,
It
commeth
also
sometimes
,
This
mistrust
commeth
also
of
the
di●ersitie
of
the
vsage
of
God
to
his
ser●ants
,
They
shall
be
mine
(
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes
)
when
I
shall
gather
the
treasure
together
,
and
I
will
pardon
them
,
so
as
euerie
one
pardoneth
his
sonne
that
serueth
him
.
Conuert
you
,
and
you
shall
see
the
difference
betweene
the
iust
and
the
infidels
;
betweene
the
seruant
of
God
,
and
him
that
serueth
him
not
.
This
same
temptation
came
to
Dauid
,
as
it
appeares
in
the
73.
Psalme
,
Yet
God
is
good
to
Isreall
:
euen
to
the
pur●
in
heart
.
As
for
mee
,
my
feet
were
almost
gone
,
my
steppes
had
well
neere
slipt
,
for
〈◊〉
feared
at
the
foolish
,
when
I
saw
the
prosperitie
of
the
wicked
.
For
there
are
no
band
in
their
death
,
but
they
are
lustie
and
strong
,
&c.
It
may
also
proceed
from
elsewhere
;
Surelie
for
thy
sake
an●
wee
slaine
continually
,
and
are
counted
●
sheep
for
the
slaughter
;
vp
,
why
sliepest
tho●
O
Lord
?
awake
,
be
not
farre
off
for
euer
Wherefore
hidest
thou
thy
face
?
and
forgettest
our
miserie
and
our
affliction
?
For
our
soule
is
beaten
downe
vnto
the
dust
,
our
bellie
cleaueth
to
the
ground
.
When
God
also
sheweth
himselfe
angrie
,
I
did
thinke
vppon
God
and
was
●roubled
,
I
praied
and
my
spirit
was
full
of
●nguish
.
Thou
keepest
mine
eies
waking
.
I
was
astonied
and
could
not
speake
.
Then
●
considered
the
dayes
of
old
,
and
the
yeres
●f
ancient
time
.
I
called
to
remembrance
my
song
in
the
night
.
I
communed
with
nine
owne
hart
,
and
my
spirit
searched
di●igentlie
.
Will
the
Lord
absent
himselfe
for
euer
,
and
will
he
shew
no
more
fauour
?
Is
his
mercie
cleane
gone
for
euer
?
doth
●is
promise
faile
for
euermore
?
Against
●uch
temptations
,
I
will
not
leaue
,
nor
euer
forsake
thee
.
Esay
,
Although
that
the
Mother
should
forget
the
fruit
of
her
wombe
,
I
will
not
forget
thee
saith
the
Lord
;
for
I
beare
thee
engrauen
on
the
backe
os
my
hand
.
And
that
which
is
in
S.
Iohn
,
I
hold
my
sheepe
in
my
hand
who
shall
take
them
from
mee
?
Is
not
my
Father
greater
then
all
?
And
I
&
my
Father
are
but
one
.
Also
,
they
shall
not
perish
eternally
.
Wee
ought
to
call
such
promises
to
mind
,
and
take
them
to
sustaine
vs
,
and
to
relye
vppon
them
,
against
the
great
sleights
&
temptation●
which
happen
vnto
vs
,
and
to
say
with
Dauid
,
The
Lord
is
my
shepherd
I
shal
not
want
.
He
maketh
mee
to
rest
in
green●
pasture
,
and
leadeth
me
by
the
still
waters
.
He
restoreth
my
soule
,

Yea

thought
J
should
walke
through
the

of
the

thou

And
we
ought
alwayes
to

that

They

waxe

as

as

thou
change

and
they

be

But
thou

and
thy

The

Vaine

contrary
to
Faith
.
Be
not

affraid
for
any

neither

And
Iesus
Chris●
sayth
,
Feare
ye
not
them
that
kill
the
bodie
,
but
are
not
able
to
kill
the

euen

feare
ye
not
therefore
ye
are
of
more
value
the

Sparrowes
▪
In
this
sentence
wee
must
note
man●
things
,
to
strengthen
our
Faith
.
The
other
poynt
which
we
ought
to
note
,
is
,
That
the
haires
of
our
head
are
all
counted
:
The
other
thing
which
ought
to
furnish
vs
against
this
feare
,
is
,
the
charity
of
our
God
,
the
which
as
sayth
S.
Peter
,
being
well
apprehended
in
our
hearts
,
and
meditated
in
our
minds
;
will
alwaies
chase
away
all
casuall
feares
,
which
may
happen
vnto
vs
to
trouble
vs
.
For
knowing
that
God
hauing
once
receaued
vs
into
his
fauour
,
continueth
it
towards
vs
for
euer
.
death
,
life
,
Angels
,

,
power
,
nor
things
present
,
nor
things
to
come
,
nor
height
,
nor
depth
,
nor
any
other
creature
,
that
is
able
to
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
God
which
hee
beareth
vs
in
Christ
Iesus
our
Lord
.
What
accident
could
happen
vnto
vs
sufficient
to
astonish
our
hearts
,
firmely
perswaded
of
this
dilection
of
our
God
.
There
is
yet
another
reason
which
ought
wel
to
assure
vs
against
all
feares
,
Dauid
,
I
will
prayse
the
Lord
,
who
hath
giuen
me
counsell
;
my
reines
also
teach
mee
in
the
nights
.
I
haue
set
the
Lord
alwaies
before
mee
;
for
hee
is
at
my
right
hand
:
therefore
I
shall
not
slide
.
Wherefore
my
heart
is
glad
and
my
tongue
reioyceth
:
my
flesh
also
doth
rest
in
hope
.
For
thou
wilt
not
leaue
my
soule
in
the
graue
,
neither
wilt
thou
suffer
thine
holie
one
to
see
corruption
.
Feare
not
(
sayth
he
)
for
I
am
with
you
.
They
shall
fight
and
giue
you
many
assaults
,
but
I
will
maintaine
you
,
and
place
you
euerie
one
like
a

,
and
like
a

with

▪
Let
vs
then
thinke
,
as
saith
S.
Iohn
,
That
the
word
of
God
,
and
his
promise
dwelling
in
our
hearts
by
faith
,
wee
are
strong
an●
inuincible
against
all
temptations
.
Besides
,
That
the
spirit
of
God
remaineth
i●
vs
,
which
is
not
a
soft
and
weake
spirit
,
bu●
a
spirit
of
force
,
(
as
saith
the
Apostle
)
which
will
vphold
vs
against
all
temptations
,
although
that
it
seeme
in
appearance
,
that
we
are
verie
infirme
and
weake
.
But
let
vs
thinke
that
the
weake
and
feeble
things
of
this
world
are
sufficient
to
confound
and
beat
down
all
the
highest
and
the
strongest
that
can
be
found
;
and
euen
lead
them
prisoners
in
the
obedience
of
Christ
.
¶
The
euill
conscience
contrary
to
Faith
.
THE
euill
conscience
also
,
the
reward
of
sinne
is
death
,
and
that
the
curse
of
the
wrath
of
God
are
propounded
in
the
law
,
against
all
those
that
transgresse
it
.
That
presupposed
,
it
is
not
possible
but
he
must
bee
astonished
,
and
that
in
his
heart
he
hath
prickings
,
gnawings
,
and
stingings
,
which
doe
transperse
it
incessantly
,
and
that
hee
feeleth
in
his
conscience
an
vlcer
which
tormenteth
and
hindereth
him
from
resting
at
his
ease
.
By
meanes
wherof
,
if
wee
will
retaine
Faith
and
enioye
the
comforts
which
it
bringeth
vs
,
we
must
necessarily
walke
roundly
;
and
applye
our selues
to
doe
all
things
,
which
God
in
his
law
hath
shewed
vs
to
be
agreeable
vnto
him
;
to
the
end
that
our
conscience
doe
not
accuse
nor
reprooue
vs
,
nor
presse
,
jmportune
,
nor
condemne
vs
.
For
if
our
heart
reprooue
vs
(
as
saith
S.
Iohn
)
God
is
greater
then
our
heart
to
reprooue
vs
.
Blessed
are
those
that
are
vpright
in
their
way
,
and
walke
in
the
Law
of
the
Lord
.
And
also
speaking
of
the
faithfull
man
,
Surely
he
shall
neuer
be
mooued
:
but
the
righteous
shall
bee
had
in
euerlasting
remembrance
.
He
will
not
be
affraid
of
euill
tydings
:
for
his
heart
is
fixed
,
and
beleeueth
in
the
Lord
.
He
shall
receaue
a
blessing
from
the
Lord
,
and
righteousnes
from
the
God
of
his
saluation
.
This
is
the
generation
of
them
that
seeke
him
,
of
them
that
seeke
thy
face
,
that
is
Iacob
.
If
then
we
will
appeare
before
the
face
of
God
in
assurance
,
let
vs
walke
before
him
in
all
feare
.
Let
vs
flie
from
euill
,
and
follow
that
which
is
good
.
Let
vs
withdraw
our selues
from
vice
,
and
apply
our selues
to
the
exercise
of
piety
,
as
much
as
we
can
.
We
see
that
our
first
parents
,
whilest
they
continued
in
the
obedience
of
God
,
they
were
familiar
with
him
,
and
spake
with
as
great
assurance
as
one
fellow
doth
with
an
other
.
But
when
they
had
disobeyed
him
,
and
eaten
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree
of
knowledge
of
good
from
evill
against
his
will
,
they
began
to
decline
,
&
fly
from
his
face
,
and
to
haue
him
in
such
great
horrour
,
that
there
was
nothing
more
fearefull
vnto
them
,
then
to
find
themselues
in
his
presence
.
Which
happened
vnto
them
of
nothing
else
but
by
the
disobedience
which
they
had
borne
to
God
,
&
of
the
euill
conscience
which
followed
,
which
made
them
thus
timerous
and
fearefull
.
¶
Hypocrisie
contrary
to
Faith
.
Art
thou
King
?
Iesus
answered
:
Thou
sayest
it
that
I
am
King
,
I
was
borne
for
it
,
and
for
that
I
am
come
into
the
world
,
to
giue
testimonie
of
the
truth
.
Whosoeuer
is
of
the
truth
heareth
my
voyce
.
By
these
words
hee
teacheth
vs
,
that
the
faithfull
regardeth
alwayes
the
truth
,
and
setteth
it
before
them
;
whereas
to
the
contrary
,
the
Hipocrite
contenteth
himselfe
with
the
appearance
.
The
one
loueth
the
things
that
are
of
massie
gould
;
and
the
other
the
things
guilded
onely
.
Esay
,
This
people
draw
neere
me
with
their
,
lips
,
but
their
heart
is
farre
from
me
.
And
Iesus
Christ
in
S.
Mathew
,
Euery
one
that
sayth
Lord
,
Lord
,
shall
not
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
Heauen
,
but
he
that
doth
the
will
of
my
Father
which
is
in
Heauen
.
Many
shall
say
to
me
in
that
day
,
Lord
,
haue
we
not
prophesied
of
thy
name
?
And
haue
we
not
cast
forth
Diuels
in
thy
name
?
And
haue
we
not
done
many
vertues
in
thy
name
?
And
then
will
I
say
openly
vnto
them
,
I
know
you
not
,
depart
from
me
ye
doers
of
iniquity
.
And
also
in
S.
Iohn
,
If
you
were
the
chilrren
of
Abraham
,
you
would
doe
the
workes
of
the
children
of
Abraham
.
Now
you
seeke
to
put
me
to
death
that
am
a
man
,
who
haue
told
you
the
truth
,
the
which
I
haue
heard
of
God
,
Abraham
did
not
that
,
you
do
the
workes
of
your
Father
:
And
the
Father
that
you
come
of
is
the
deuill
,
and
you
will
doe
the
desires
of
your
Father
.
He
was
an
homicide
from
the
beginning
,
and
hath
not
perseuered
in
the
truth
,
for
the
truth
is
not
in
him
.
Euery
time
that
he
preferreth
lies
,
he
speaketh
of
his
owne
;
for
he
is
a
lyar
,
and
the
father
of
lyes
.
And
because
I
say
the
truth
you
beleeue
me
not
.
It
is
also
the
cause
for
the
which
in
the
gospell
of
S.
Mat.
Hee
that
walketh
vprightly
,
and
worketh
righteousnesse
,
and
speaketh
the
truth
in
his
heart
.
And
in
the
24.
Psalme
,
Who
shall
ascend
into
the
mountain
of
the
Lord
,
&
who
shall
stand
in
his
holy
place
?
Euen
hee
that
hath
innocent
hands
,
and
a
pure
heart
;
which
hath
not
lift
vp
his
mind
vnto
vanitie
,
nor
sworne
deceitfully
.
Wee
must
not
thinke
,
that
that
those
hypocrits
who
are
like
vnto
brokers
,
whose
commodities
are
not
loyall
,
rather
nothing
but
old
patcherie
and
deceit
,
can
be
agreable
to
God
who
loueth
integritie
,
simplicitie
,
and
roundnesse
in
all
things
.
And
doth
not
as
men
,
who
affect
flatterie
,
and
paye
themselues
easily
with
false
coyne
,
and
when
it
is
well
stamped

although

falsly
metled

¶
Superstition
is
contrary
to
Faith
.
SVperstition
is
also
contrary
to
Faith
,
They
that
trust
in
the
Lord
,
shall
bee
as
mount
Syon
;
which
cannot
be
remooued
,
but
remaineth
for
euer
.
Saint
Paul
condemnes
those
scrupulous
people
,
If
you
are
dead
with
Christ
,
as
concerning
the
rudiments
of
the
world
,
why
are
you
charged
with
ordinances
,
as
if
you
liued
in
the
world
?
To
wit
,
eate
not
,
taste
not
,
touch
not
.
All
which
things
ordained
by
the
commaundements
and
doctrine
of
men
,
perish
with
the
vse
;
the
which
haue
neuerthelesse
some
kind
of
sapience
in
voluntarie
deuotion
,
and
humilitie
of
spirit
,
and
insomuch
as
they
spare
not
the
body
,
but
haue
no
regard
to
the
satisfying
thereof
.
Thou
art
not
a
God
that
loueth
wickednesse
:
neither
shall
euill
dwell
with
●hee
.
It
remaines
then
to
conclude
,
that
,
It
is
the
reason
for
the
which
God
by
his
Prophet
sayd
,
We
must
now
know
where
our
Faith
resideth
,
and
where
shee
hath
herseat
.
Men
beleeue
with
the
heart
to
righteousnes
,
and
confesse
with
the
mouth
to
saluation
.
Then
the
Schoolmen
deceaue
and
mistake
themselues
,
when
they
put
it
in
the
vnderstanding
,
and
that
they
say
,
that
the
onely
knowledge
which
we
haue
of
the
Bible
,
and
the
approbation
of
all
that
is
contained
therein
,
is
the
Faith
of
a
Christian
man
,
¶
The
first
question
,
to
know
whether
the
reprobate
can
be
furnished
with
Faith
,
or
no.
THe
Schoolemen
say
,
that
all
men
jndifferently
,
To
you
it
is
giuen
,
to
know
the
secrets
and
misteries
of
the
kingdome
of
God
,
and
not
to
them
.
My
sheepe
heare
my
voyce
.
Then
addressing
his
speech
to
the
reprobate
,
he
sayth
to
them
;
But
you
heare
it
not
because
you
are
not
of
God
.
S.
Iohn
also
addeth
,
He
that
is
of
God
heareth
vs
,
and
belieueth
the
woord
which
we
preach
,
but
he
that
is
not
of
God
heareth
vs
not
,
but
reiecteth
vs
.
It
is
the
reason
for
the
which
the
Apostle
calleth
Faith
,
S.
Paul
.
Iohn
hauing
sayd
,
that
hee
hath
giuen
that
right
to
bee
made
the
children
of
God
,
to
wit
,
to
those
that
beleeue
in
his
name
,
addeth
which
are
not
borne
of
blood
,
nor
of
the
will
of
the
flesh
,
nor
of
the
will
of
man
;
but
are
borne
of
God
.
And
it
is
that
which
he
sayth
to
Moyses
.
Which
the
Apostle
alleadgeth
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Romanes
.
That
God
hath
pittie
on
whome
he
will
haue
pittie
,
and
hardeneth
whome
soeuer
he
will
harden
.
And
it
is
also
the
reason
wherefore
Iesvs
Christ
sayd
,
that
none
could
come
to
him
,
¶
The
Second
question
,
whether
Faith
bee
perfect
in
this
world
.
¶
Third
question
,
whether
our
so
little
Faith
,
bee
capable
to
apprehend
the
grace
of
God
.
¶
The
Fourth
question
,
whether
Faith
sheweth
it selfe
alwaies
.
So
it
commeth
often
,
that
the
faithfull
men
shall
not
be
knowne
exteriourly
by
the
works
and
actions
of
faith
,
although
it
bee
inclosed
in
their
hearts
,
and
that
vpon
occasion
when
it
presenteth
,
they
declare
it
according
to
the
grace
which
God
giueth
them
,
agitation
of
the
spirit
which
mooueth
them
to
doe
it
,
when
time
serueth
.
¶
The
fift
and
last
question
,
whether
true
Faith
can
fall
away
.
I
thanke
my
God
hauing
you
in
perfect
memorie
,
alwaies
in
all
my
prayers
for
you
all
,
praying
with
gladnesse
,
because
of
the
fellowship
which
ye
haue
in
the
Gospell
,
from
the
first
day
vntill
now
.
And
I
am
perswaded
of
this
same
thing
,
that
he
that
hath
begunne
this
good
worke
in
you
,
will
perform
it
vntil
the
day
of
Iesus
Christ
.
The
Apostle
confirming
that
,
also
saith
,
The
foundation
of
God
remaineth
sure
,
&
hath
this
seale
,
The
Lord
knoweth
who
are
his
,
and
let
euery
one
that
calleth
on
the
name
of
Christ
,
depart
from
iniquity
.
Also
,
whome
he
predestinated
,
them
also
he
called
;
and
whome
he
called
,
them
also
he
iustified
;
and
whome
hee
iustified
,
them
he
also
glorified
.
Finally
,
speaking
of
himselfe
and
of
all
the
elect
.
I
am
(
saith
he
)
perswaded
,
that
neither
death
,
nor
life
,
nor
Angels
,
nor
principalities
,
nor
powers
,
nor
things
present
,
nor
thinges
to
come
,
nor
height
,
nor
depth
,
nor
any
other
creature
shall
bee
able
to
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
God
which
is
in
Christ
Iesus
.
Christ
also
speaking
to
his
sheepe
,
saith
in
generall
of
all
.
That
all
that
God
his
Father
had
not
planted
,
should
be
plucked
vp
,
he
ment
to
say
the
contrary
,
that
no
thing
which
his
Father
had
planted
,
as
he
did
all
the
elect
,
should
be
plucked
vp
,
doth
not
S.
Iohn
also
say
in
his
first
Epistle
?
That
whosoeuer
is
borne
of
God
sinneth
not
,
(
that
is
to
say
,
)
to
death
,
because
he
is
begotten
of
God
,
he
kepeth
himselfe
,
and
that
wicked
one
toucheth
him
not
.
And
also
,
whosoeuer
is
borne
of
God
doth
not
sinne
,
for
the
seede
of
him
remaineth
in
him
,
and
he
cannot
sinne
because
hee
is
borne
of
God
.
Againe
doth
not
Iesus
Christ
promise
to
whomesoeuer
shall
eate
his
flesh
and
drinke
his
bloud
,
Thou
doest
annoynt
my
head
with
oyle
,
and
my
cuppe
runneth
ouer
.
Doubtlesse
,
kindnesse
and
mercy
shall
followe
mee
all
the
daies
of
my
life
,
and
I
shall
remaine
a
long
season
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
.
And
in
the
30.
Psalme
.
Sing
praises
vnto
the
Lord
,
yee
his
Saints
,
and
giue
thankes
before
the
remembrance
of
his
holynesse
.
For
hee
indureth
but
a
while
in
his
anger
:
but
in
his
fauour
is
life
:
weeping
may
abide
at

but
ioy

And
in
the
65.
Psalme
.
Wicked
deeds
haue
preuailed
against
me
:
but
thou
wilt
be
mercifull
vnto
our
transgressions

Blessed
is
he
whome
thou
choosest
and
causest
to
come
to
thee
;
he
shall
dwell
in
thy
courts
,
and
we
shall
be
satisfied
with
the
pleasures
of
thine
house

euen
of
thine
holy
Temple

And
in
the
119.
Psalme
.
Let
my
soule
liue
and
it
shall
praise
thee
,
and
thy
iudgements
shall
helpe

.
And
also
,
Flye
feom
euill
and
doe
good

and

For
the
Lord
loueth
iudgement
,
and
forsaketh
not
his
Saints
:
they
shall
bee
preserued
for
euermore
:
but
the
seed
of
the
wicked
shall
be
cut
off
.
And
about
the
end
of
the
Psalme
.
The
saluation
of
the
righteous
men
shall
be
of
the
Lord
:
hee
shall
be
their
strength
in
the
time
of
trouble
.
For
the
Lord
shall
helpe
them
,
and
deliuer
them
,
he
shall
deliuer
them
from
the
wicked
,
and
shall
saue

A
TREATISE
OF
CHRISTIAN
CHARITY
;
Then
speciallie
of
the
workes
and
exercises
of
the
children
of
God
.
THe
Charitie
of
Christians
towards
God
and
their
neighbours
,
Peace
be
with
the
brethren
,
and
charitie
with
faith
from
God
the
Father
,
and
from
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
Ephe.
6.23
.
Besides
it
is
called
the
fruit
of
the
Spirit
.
Gal.
5.22
.
The
fruit
of
the
Spirit
,
is
Charitie
,
ioye
,
peace
,
patience
,
benignity
,
goodnes
,
loyaltie
,
gentlenes
,
temperance
.
There
we
see
a
stately
and
diuine
band
of
the
Mother
and
her
eight
daughters
.
Thirdly
,
Charitie
commeth
of
Faith
;
for
Charitie
loueth
and
jmbraceth
that
which
Faith
sheweth
&
maketh
known
vnto
her
,
so
that
Faith
is
as
it
were
the
Mother
of
Charity
;
and
of
these
two
heauenly
vertues
commeth
hope
,
wherof
we
haue
already
spoken
.
This
Charitie
whereof
we
speake
,
is
attributed
to
those
whome
(
closed
and
conioyned
with
that
spirituall
knot
which
S.
Pau●
calleth
The
bond
of
perfectnesse
,
Colos.
3.14
.
)
doe
studie
to
keepe
me
:
Vnity
of
the
spirit
by
the
bond
of
peace
,
Ephe.
4.3
forbearing
the
one
the
other
in
Charity
,
and
whome
the
same
declareth
,
that
they
appertaine
to
Iesus
Christ
,
Whose
whole
kindred
is
named
in
heauen
&
earth
,
Ephes.
3.15
.
These
brethren
&
kindred
are
those
that
by
Christ
haue
in
one
selfe-same
Spirit
Entrance
to
the
Father
,
Ephe.
2.18
.
Wherevppon
hee
concludeth
and
sayth
,
You
are
then
no
more
strangers
and
forriners
,
but
Citizens
with
the
Saints
,
and
of
the
houshold
of
God
;
Built
vpon
the
foundation
of
the
Apostles
,
and
Prophets
,
&c.
Ephes.
2.19
.
By
an
other
elegant
similitude
,
he
sheweth
in
the
same
Epistle
that
all
the
liuely
members
of
Iesus
Christ
are
joyned
to
their
head
by
Charitie
,
saying
,
Following
the
truth
in
loue
,
we
grow
vp
vnto
him
which
is
the
head
,
that
is
,
Christ
.
By
whome
all
the
body
being
coupled
and
knit
together
by
euery
ioynt
,
for
the
fourniture
thereof
(
according
to
the
effectuall
power
which
is
in
the
measure
of
euery
part
)
receaueth
increase
of
the
body
,
vnto
the
edifying
of
it selfe
in
loue
,
Ephes.
4.15.16
.
From
that
which
is
sayd
,
we
gather
that
Charity
is
the
jnfallible
marke
of
christians
,
according
to
the
sentence
of
the
soueraigne
Doctour
.
By
this
shall
all
men
know
that
you
are
my
Disciples
,
if
you
loue
one
another
,
Io.
13.35
,
Let
vs
than
say
that
charitie
is
a
guift
of
God
,
who
by
his
holy
spirit
for
the
loue
of
IESVS
CHRIST
,
doth
inflame
the
hearts
of
his
children
with
an
ardent
dilection
which
they
beare
him
,
by
reason
of
his
infinite
mercy
towards
them
in
their
election
,
vocation
,
justification
,
sanctification
,
&
glorification
hoped
for
according
to
his
infallible
promises
:
of
the
which
dilection
proceedeth
the
humble
and
free
desire
to
render
him
obedience
,
and
to
witnesse
by
all
good
dueties
a
sincere
amity
to
all
men
;
especially
to
the
houshould
of
faith
,
with
whome
we
rejoyce
that
they
were
receaued
into
favour
&
grace
,
and
haue
obtained
pardon
for
their
sinnes
,
remaining
bound
with
a
brotherly
affection
with
them
,
by
reason
of
the
loue
of
God
our
Father
.
S.
Augustine
sayd
in
one
of
Epistles
,
that
charity
is
a
vertue
,
by
the
which
we
loue
those
things
that
are
to
be
loued
;
which
agreeth
very
fitly
with
our
charity
towards
God
,
who
loued
vs
euen
when
we
were
his
enemies
.
The
Lord
sayd
of
the
woman
sinner
,
that
her
sinnes
which
had
beene
great
,
were
forgiuen
her
▪
for
(
addeth
he
)
she
hath
loued
much
,
Luk.
7.47
.
By
this
doe
we
know
that
we
loue
the
children
of
God
,
when
we
loue
God
,
and
keepe
his
commandements
.
For
this
is
the
loue
of
God
,
that
we
keepe
his
commandements
,
and
his
commandements
are
not
grieuous
,
1.
Iohn
5.2.3
.
Who
so
loueth
others
,
hee
hath
accomplished
the
Law
:
for
that
which
is
said
,
Thou
shalt
not
kill
,
Thou
shalt
not
commit
adulterie
,
&c.
and
if
there
be
any
other
commaundement
,
it
is
summarily
comprehended
in
this
point
,
to
wit
,
Thou
shalt
loue
thy
neighbour
as
thy selfe
.
Loue
doth
not
euill
to
his
neighbour
,
therefore
is
Loue
the
fulfilling
of
the
Law
,
Rom.
13.8.9.10
.
The
properties
thereof
are
excellently
described
by
the
Apostle
in
these
words
:
Loue
suffereth
long
:
it
is
bountifull
:
Loue
envieth
not
:
loue
doth
not
boast
it selfe
:
it
●s
not
puffed
vp
:
it
doth
no
vncomely
thing
:
●t
seeketh
not
her
owne
things
:
it
is
not
provoked
to
anger
:
it
thinketh
not
evill
:
it
reioyceth
not
in
iniquitie
,
but
reioyceth
in
the
●ruth
:
it
suffereth
all
things
:
it
belieueth
all
things
:
it
hopeth
all
things
:
it
endureth
all
things
,

What
a
patterne
for
vs
all
?
God
who
is
Charity
it selfe
)
giue
vs
the
grace
that
all
the
dayes
of
our
liues
we
may
cast
the
eye
of
our
thoughts
vpon
this
faire
and
liuely
picture
,
to
learne
to
walke
in
charitie
,
renouncing
all
impatience
,
furie
,
enuie
,
arrogancy
,
jmpudency
,
couetousnesse
,
violence
,
malignity
,
jniquity
,
lying
,
cruelty
,
jnfidelity
,
profanenesse
,
jmpiety
,
crimes
directly
contrary
to
christian
charitie
.
Let
vs
in
order
see
some
effects
of
charity
,
doth
neuer
fall
away
,
whereas
as
for
the
Prophesies
,
they
shall
be
abolished
:
and
as
for
the
languages
,
they
shall
cease
:
as
for
knowledge
,
it
shall
be
abolished
.
3.
Whether
wee
consider
the
houshold
of
Faith
,
or
other
men
,
Charity
is
well
ordered
;
To
this
purpose
it
is
sayd
,
Gal.
6.10
.
Whiles
we
haue
time
,
let
vs
doe
good
to
all
,
principally
to
the
houshould
of
Faith
.

A
seruile
feare
doth
much
hinder
mens
consciences
in
the
execution
of
that
which
appertaineth
to
their
dutie
,
and
in
the
exercises
of
patience
whereto
Charity
remedieth
,
as
saith
S.
Iohn
in
his
1.
Epistle
chap.
4.
ver.
18.
There
is
no
feare
in
loue
,
but
perfect
loue
casteth
out
feare
,
for
feare
hath
painefulnesse
,
and
he
that
feare
this
not
perfect
in
loue
.
5.
The
rule
of
indifferent
workes
and
actions
,
is
Charity
,
witnes
the
acts
of
the
Counsell
at
Ierusalem
,
the
circumsicion
of
Timothie
,
and
such
like
in
the
christian
primitiue
Church
.
To
the
weake
(
saith
S.
Paul
)
I
became
as
weake
,
that
I
might
winne
the
weake
.
I
am
made
all
things
to
all
men
,
that
I
might
by
all
meanes
saue
some
,
1.
Cor.
9.22
.
6.
Charity
is
the
end
of
the
commandement
of
the
law
,
1.
Tim.
1.5
.
Mathew
22.37
.
&c.
Thou
shalt
loue
the
Lord
thy
God
with
all
thine
heart
,
with
all
thy
soule
,
and
with
all
thy
mind
.
This
is
the
first
and
the
great
commandement
.
And
the
second
is
like
vnto
that
,
Thou
shalt
loue
thy
neighbour
as
thy
selfe
.
7.
It
may
be
sayd
that
charitie
is
superiour
and
inferiour
to
Faith
;
but
in
diuers
respects
inferiour
,
by
reason
of
iustification
,
of
her
originall
,
and
of
her
measure
.
For
we
are
iustified
by
Faith
,
Rom.
3.27
.
not
by
charity
,
the
which
sheweth
That
we
are
iustified
,
Iames.
2.18.21
.
From
faith
commeth
charity
:
and
that
which
faith
apprehendeth
,
is
assured
and
accomplished
;
but
charitie
hath
her
progressions
and
increasings
:
in
summe
,
faith
is
the
measure
of
it
,
and
hee
to
whome
God
sheweth
most
mercy
,
more
that
man
loueth
God
and
his
neighbours
.
Besides
,
the
guift
of
charitie
is
most
necessary
for
vs
,
Though
I
speake
(
sayth
the
Apostle
,
1.
Corinth.
13.
)
with
the
tongues
of
men
and
Angels
,
and
haue
not
loue
,
I
am
as
sounding
brasse
or
a
tinckling
Cymbale
.
Againe
,
without
charity
men
cannot
find
peace
nor
agreement
in
any
companie
whatsoeuer
.
Hatred
bringeth
discord
;
but
charitie
couereth
all
faults
,
Prou.
10.12
.
1.
Pet.
4.8
.
He
that
loueth
his
brother
,
hee
abydeth
in
the
light
,
and
there
is
no
occasion
of
euill
in
him
.
1.
Ioh.
2.10
.
We
walke
now
by
faith
,
not
in
sight
.
Charitie
shall
be
accomplished
and
made
greater
in
euerlasting
life
,
without
changing
of
sort
;
but
faith
shall
haue
her
accomplishment
seeing
the
good
denounced
and
belieued
of
all
present
.
We
see
now
through
a
glasse
obscurely
,
but
then
we
shall
see
face
to
face
,
now
I
know
in
part
,
but
then
I
shal
know
,
as
I
haue
also
beene
knowne
,
1.
Cor.
13.12
.
Hope
also
shall
then
bee
abolished
,
all
euill
being
done
away
,
the
teares
wiped
from
our
eyes
,
which
shall
see
the
things
present
which
wee
hoped
for
,
for
the
hope
which
is
seene
,
is
not
hope
:
for
why
should
any
one
hope
for
that
which
he
seeth
?
But
if
we
hope
for
that
which
we
see
not
,
then
we
wayte
for
it
in
patience
,
Rom.
8.23.24
.
Then
as
we
now
possesse
by
hope
this
inheritance
which
S.
Paul
calleth
incorruptible
,
which
cannot
contaminate
,
nor
wither
;
also
wee
shall
one
day
bee
in
effect
coheires
with
Iesus
Christ
,
to
enioye
this
inheritance
indiuisiblie
and
eternally
.
The
doctrine
of
charity
,
as
also
that
of
faith
and
hope
,
amply
expounded
in
the
bookes
of
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
is
precisely
and
articularly
comprehended
in
the
catechismicke
questions
and
answeres
.
And
as
wee
must
drawe
the
summarie
of
the
doctrine
of
Faith
,
and
of
hope
out
of
the
symbole
or
creede
of
the
Apostles
,
and
the
dominicall
praier
,
that
of
charitie
is
found
in
the
Decalogue
.
That
which
repugneth
against
the
articles
therein
contained
,
ought
to
bee
detested
as
erroneous
and
pernicious
.
For
following
the
precept
of
the
Apostle
,
2.
Tim.
1
,
13.
We
must
keepe
the
true
patterne
of
the
wholesome
words
,
and
the
good
intent
by
the
holy
ghost
which
dwelleth
in
vs
.
It
is
fitting
also
to
auoyd
all
prophane
and
vaine
babblings
,
and
the
contradicting
of
a
science
falsly
so
named
,

,
Tim

,
20.
In
the
consideration
of
the
10.
article
propounded
in
the
Title
.
Let
vs
first
treate
of
the
workes
of
charitie
towards
our
neighbours
.
2.
Let
vs
rise
to
the
contemplation
of
the
doctrine
of
good
workes
.
3.
Let
vs
speake
as
shortly
as
may
bee
,
of
the
vertues
commanded
and
recommended
to
all
Christians
vnder
these
words
,
Thou
shalt
loue
thy
God
with
all
thy
heart
,
and
thy
neighbour
as
thy selfe
.
1.
In
the
consideration
of
the
first
point
heare
treated
generally
,
let
vs
see
the
reasons
which
ought
to
mooue
vs
to
Charitie
towards
our
neighbours
.
Afterwards
what
kind
of
works
of
charitie
are
the
principall
.
Also
the
rules
to
the
which
all
may
be
referred
.
Now
although
that
the
commaundement
of
God
,
our
dutie
,
the
doctrine
of
Faith
,
of
repentance
,
and
of
the
judgements
and
punishments
temporall
and
eternall
,
ought
to
induce
all
christians
to
true
obedience
towards
the
Lord
:
notwithstanding
it
shall
suffice
to
touch
that
which
ought
to
mooue
vs
to
charitie
,
the
obiect
,
then
the
end
thereof
.
The
commaundement
of
God
ought
to
haue
great
sway
which
beareth
that
we
should
loue
our
neighbour
as
our selues
.
If
this
friendship
proceedes
of
a
pure
heart
,
the
effect
thereof
followeth
at
neede
.
Let
vs
ioyne
to
the
commaundement
of
the
Faith
of
the
christian
that
obayeth
.
That
worketh
by
charitie
,
and
it
cannot
bee
that
the
regenerate
man
can
be
guided
by
the
spirit
of
enuie
,
rancour
,
and
crueltie
,
for
the
markes
of
the
disciples
of
the
Lord
,
is
that
they
loue
one
another
in
him
,
whose
example
,
aboue
al
in
the
behoofe
of
Charitie
to
his
neighbours
,
is
set
before
his
to
instruct
them
,
as
he
said
expresly
to
them
the
night
before
hee
died
,
and
doth
there
exhort
them
most
affectionately
,
according
as
S.
Iohn
repeateth
it
in
the
13.14.15
.
&
16.
Chap.
and
his
first
Epistle
serueth
for
a
commentary
to
the
commandement
and
to
this
example
of
the
maister
,
of
whome
may
be
sayd
in
a
word
,
that
his
person
,
his
offices
,
and
benefits
are
nothing
but
Charitie
.
Who
so
reuerenceth
this
sauiour
in
the
qualitie
of
a
gift
of
God
,
ought
to
follow
him
as
an
example
and
patron
of
vertue
.
And
who
so
doth
otherwise
looseth
the
gift
,
and
beareth
the
name
of
a
christian
in
vaine
,
yea
to
his
great
condemnation
.
This
jmitation
doth
not
consist
in
equalitie
nor
in
perfection
,
but
in
a
feruent
desire
,
a
holy
will
,
and
a
perseuerant
continuance
.
There
are
fower
ends
of
the
works
of
Charity
.
With
what
measure
you
meate
,
shall
bee
measured
vnto
you
.
4.
The
fowrth
,
requireth
that
wee
should
in
effect
assist
our
neighbours
:
which
the
Lord
specifieth
in
particular
,
in
the
formularie
of
the
sentence
propounded
to
his
disciples
,
and
which
hee
will
pronounce
at
the
latter
day
.
There
is
no
speech
of
contracts
,
of
lending
and
borrowing
,
of
buying
and
selling
,
and
other
such
like
,
whereby
the
contractours
ought
to
know
in
their
consciences
,
whether
they
followe
the
rule
of
Charitie
,
but
Iesus
Christ
speaketh
of
giuing
,
by
consequent
condemneth
vsuries
,
rapines
,
and
cruelties
so
often
taxed
in
the
whole
Scripture
,
and
bringeth
his
to
the
practise
of
this
holie
and
precious
sentence
,
Act.
20.35
.
That
it
is
a
happier
thing
to
giue
,
then
to
receaue
;
a
sentence
that
condemnes
almost
all
the
Christians
that
liue
in
the
world
at
this
day
.
There
resteth
three
rules
to
propound
to
Christians
in
the
exercise
of
the
workes
of
charitie
.
1.
The
word
of
God
.
2.
Faith
.
3.
Charitie
it selfe
.
jn
these
three
rules
is
inclosed
the
means
to
acquite
our selues
of
our
duties
.
As
for
the
world
,
let
vs
take
for
example
that
which
Salomon
sayth
,
Prou.
5.15
.
Drinke
the
water
of
thy
Cesternes
,
and
the
liuely
waters
out
of
the
middest
of
thy
well
;
let
the
springs
runne
out
,
let
them
bee
for
thee
onely
,
not
for
the
strangers
that
are
with
thee
.
He
will
first
that
euery
one
should
haue
the
vse
of
his
goods
to
his
owne
commoditie
,
according
as
his
condition
requireth
.
Afterwards
hee
treateth
of
the
liberalitie
of
him
that
hath
much
,
and
will
haue
them
to
bee
liberall
towards
those
that
haue
little
:
that
he
hoard
it
not
vp
,
but
that
he
distribute
some
part
of
it
to
others
.
Finally
,
in
regard
of
the
possession
,
that
men
should
auoyd
bad
husbandry
and
prodigalitie
,
for
feare
least
they
should
fall
into
want
.
Faith
regardeth
the
commandement
and
the
promise
of
God
.
By
the
commaundement
the
christian
man
is
sollicited
to
shew
himselfe
charitable
:
and
by
the
fathers
promise
is
enticed
to
discharge
his
dutie
cheerefully
and
with
alacrity
.
As
for
Charitie
,
it
is
mooued
with
the
commodities
and
jncommodities
of
our
neighbours
,
reioycing
with
the
ioyefull
,
lamenting
with
the
sorrowfull
,
suffering
with
some
by
christian
compassion
,
and
bearing
the
burthen
of
another
with
a
sincere
and
cordiall
affection
.
He
that
hath
the
goods
of
this
world
,
and
shall
see
his
brother
in
necessity
,
and
shutteth
vp
his
compassion
from
him
,
how
dwelleth
the
loue
of
God
in
him
?
He
shutteth
vp
his
compassion
from
the
afflicted
that
sheweth
him
no
pittifull
affection
,
that
turneth
his
backe
towards
him
,
that
thrusteth
him
from
him
and
skorneth
him
,
sending
him
backe
emptie
,
that
doth
not
assist
him
speedily
,
cheerefully
,
and
sufficiently
according
to
his
small
power
.
But
whosoeuer
,
with
a
true
compassion
,
supplyeth
to
his
neighbours
necessities
,
it
may
bee
sayd
to
them
that
he
openeth
his
compassion
towards
them
.
And
this
word
sheweth
an
intimate
charitie
,
which
is
as
it
were
fastened
to
the
most
noble
interiour
parts
of
the
bodie
,
a
vehement
pittie
and
mercy
,
which
is
to
be
compared
to
those
of
mothers
towards
their
little
children
,
which
they
loue
and
cherish
tenderly
and
with
an
vnspeakeable
care
.
Then
how
execrable
are
the
cruell
and
vnpittifull
men
,
who
so
many
wayes
dishonour
the
precious
name
of
a
christian
,
and
boast
of
vaine
titles
,
diffamed
before
God
by
reason
of
their
furious
insolencies
towards
the
poore
?
What
volume
might
serue
to
the
description
of
their
mischiefs
,
if
not
Gods
bookes
?
Apoc.
20.12
.
Those
surely
will
suffice
;
for
S.
Iohn
sayth
there
,
That
those
that
are
dead
shall
bee
iudged
by
the
things
written
in
the
bookes
,
according
to
their
workes
.
The
wrath
of
God
is
vpon
the
couetous
and
such
as
are
enemies
to
the
poore
,
hee
curseth
them
,
sends
backe
their
prayers
,
as
sayth
Salomon
,
Prou.
21.13
.
strips
such
vnthankefull
ones
of
their
gifts
,
curseth
their
posteritie
.
2.
As
for
the
affection
of
him
that
doth
almes
,
Hee
delighteth
much
in
such
offrings
,
Heb.
13.16
.
It
is
good
lending
to
him
with
assurance
of
profit
or
interest
of
one
100.
peeces
for
one
,
Regarding
the
houshould
of
Faith
,
then
others
,
according
to
the
rule
of
S.
Paul
,
Gal.
6.10
.
Finally
,
let
them
haue
regard
to
their
faculties
,
that
they
doe
not
waste
them
all
at
once
,
but
to
remaine
maister
of
them
,
to
the
end
they
may
distribute
them
with
reason
,
according
to
the
rules
of
dutie
,
in
the
vocation
whervnto
men
are
called
.
4.
We
ought
to
do
almes
,
to
the
end
that
our
neighbour
may
be
succoured
,
with
diuers
reliefs
marked
by
the
Lord
.
In
S.
Mat.
25.
Also
to
prouoke
other
faithfull
men
to
well
doing
towards
the
poore
,
following
that
which
the
Apostle
sayth
.
2.
Cor.
9.
Afterwards
to
the
end
that
such
a
worke
may
testifie
of
our
Faith
and
pietie
:
for
the
duties
of
Charitie
are
ordayned
,
because
that
by
them
we
shold
make
it
known
,
that
wee
feare
God
and
desire
to
obay
him
.
For
conclusion
,
it
is
to
the
end
that
God
may
be
glorified
.
The
fruites
and
profits
of
our
almes
are
great
and
diuers
.
The
faste
which
I
haue
chosen
is
it
not
that
thou
breake
thy
bread
to
him
that
is
hungrie
?
and
that
thou
cause
those
that
are
in
poore
estate
to
come
to
thyne
house
?
when
thou
seest
him
that
is
naked
,
that
thou
euen
couer
him
,
and
that
thou
hide
not
thy selfe
behind
thy
flesh
?
Then
shall
thy
light
appeare
like
the
break
of
day
,
and
thy
health
shall
come
presently
,
thy
righteousnesse
shall
goe
before
thee
,
and
the
glory
of
the
Lord
shall
embrace
thee
.
Then
thou
shalt
call
,
and
the
Lord
shall
heare
thee
;
thou
shalt
crie
,
and
hee
shall
say
I
am
heere
;
if
thou
take
away
the
yoake
from
the
middest
of
thee
,
and
ceasest
from
lifting
vp
thy
fingar
,
and
from
speaking
euill
.
If
thou
openest
thy
heart
to
him
that
is
hungry
,
and
that
thou
satisfie
the
afflicted
:
thy
light
shall
come
foorth
in
darkenesse
,
and
thy
darkenesse
shall
he
as
the
noone
day
:
and
the
Lord
shall
conduct
thee
continually
,
and
shall
refresh
thy
soule
in
the
great
droughts
,
and
shall
fatten
thy
bones
;
and
thou
shalt
be
like
a
watered
Garden
,
and
like
a
spring
whereof
the
waters
doe
not
faile
:
and
there
shall
come
of
thee
people
that
shall
build
againe
that
which
in
time
past
was
layd
wast
,
thou
shalt
set
the
foundations
againe
which
were
forsaken
from
age
to
age
,
and
thou
shalt
be
called
the
repayrer
of
Breaches
,
and
the
mender
of
the
wayes
,
that
men
may
dwell
in
the
country
.
Yet
another
of
the
Prophet
Daniell
to
the
king
of
Babilon
,
in
the
4.
chap.
vers.
27.
Redeeme
thy
sinnes
with
righteousnesse
,
and
thy
iniquities
in
shewing
mercie
to
the
poore
.
Behold
this
shall
be
a
prolonging
of
thy
prosperitie
.
But
that
which
the
King
and
Sauiour
of
the
Church
shall
say
at
the
last
Iudgement
to
those
that
are
charitable
ought
not
to
be
omitted
.
as
hee
himselfe
hath
declared
it
alreadie
with
his
owne
mouth
,
in
the
25.
of
S.
Mathew
,
vers.
34.
and
following
.
Then
shall
the
King
say
to
them
on
his
right
hand
,
Come
ye
blessed
of
my
Father
:
take
the
inheritance
of
the
Kingdome
prepared
for
you
from
the
foundation
of
the
world
;
For
I
was
an
hungred
,
and
ye
gaue
mee
meate
;
I
thirsted
,
and
yee
gaue
mee
drinke
;
I
was
a
straunger
and
ye
tooke
me
in
vnto
you
,
I
was
naked
&
ye
clothed
me
,
I
was
sick
&
ye
visited
me
;
I
was
in
prison
,
&
ye
came
vnto
me
.
In
as
much
as
ye
haue
done
it
vnto
one
of
the
least
of
these
my
brethren
,
ye
haue
done
it
vnto
me
.
I
say
vnto
their
children
in
the
desart
,
walke
not
in
the
statutes
of
your
fathers
,
and
looke
not
vppon
their
ordinaunces
,
and
defile
not
your selues
in
their
Gods
of
doonge
.
I
am
the
Lord
your
God
:
Walke
in
my
statutes
,
and
keepe
my
ordinaunces
,
and
doe
them
.
Also
in
the
3.
chap.
vers.
17.
Sonne
of
man
,
I
haue
set
thee
as
a
watch
at
the
house
of
Israell
;
thou
shalt
then
hearken
to
the
word
of
my
mouth
,
and
shalt
warne
them
in
my
name
.
Wee
gather
of
that
which
is
aboue
sayd
,
that
wee
must
not
teach
in
the
Church
,
nor
doe
any
other
workes
but
those
which
God
commandeth
vs
by
his
word
,
whereof
we
haue
the
summary
in
the
X.
commandements
.
S.
Paul
speaking
of
things
directly
or
indirectly
opposed
against
the
will
which
God
hath
manifested
vnto
vs
,
2.
The
christian
man
well
resolued
that
he
must
doe
good
workes
,
Without
me
you
can
doe
nothing
.
He
speaketh
of
holy
actions
,
and
of
workes
truely
good
.
And
the
Apostle
sayth
,
Heb.
11.6
.
That
without
faith
,
it
is
impossible
to
please
God
.
Also
Rom.
8.14
.
That
those
are
the
children
of
God
,
that
are
led
by
the
spirit
of
him
.
These
testimonies
shew
euidently
that
three
things
are
required
in
the
accomplishing
of
good
workes
;
to
wit
,
the
knowledge
of
Christ
,
the
faith
which
is
in
a
liuely
trust
in
this
Sauiour
and
Mediatour
,
by
the
which
the
sinner
is
iustified
:
then
the
●ification
,
which
is
done
when
Iesus
●hrist
powreth
his
spirit
into
vs
by
the
●eaching
of
the
Gospell
;
for
without
●rist
we
are
like
vnto
a
dryed
lop
cut
●m
the
stocke
.
But
belieuing
in
him
,
●e
gather
new
life
;
and
as
sayth
the
●ophet
,
Those
that
wayte
vpon
the
Lord
●her
new
strength
;
their
wings
growe
●aine
like
Eagles
,
they
shall
rune
and
shall
●
waxe
weary
,
they
shall
walke
and
shall
●
labour
at
all
,
Esay
,
40.31
.
So
then
●thout
the
knowledge
of
Iesus
Christ
,
●e
trust
in
him
,
and
viuification
by
the
●ly
spirit
,
men
cannot
desire
to
doe
●od
workes
,
lesse
effect
,
and
ac●…mplish
them
.
Therefore
they
abuse
●…emselues
daungerously
,
that
thinke
●at
the
Pagans
,
vnbeleeuers
,
and
pro●e
men
,
whose
hearts
are
not
purified
●
the
truth
of
the
Gospell
accepted
by
●th
,
and
who
doe
not
beleeue
in
the
●nne
of
God
,
manifested
to
the
Church
●
the
doctrine
of
the
Prophets
,
Evan●elists
,
and
Apostles
,
can
doe
workes

and
agreeable
to
God
.
And
●ose
that
maintaine
,
that
the
naturall
●an
can
of
his
owne
will
render
obedience
to
God
:
and
others
,
who
jmagin●
a
concurrance
of
the
value
of
the
wor●
man
and
of
the
workes
,
with
the
dign●ty
and
perfection
of
him
that
comma●deth
them
:
and
those
that
without
c●ryng
whether
the
person
pleaseth
Go●
or
no
,
teach
that
what
he
doth
,
thinkin●
he
doth
well
,
it
is
agreeable
to
God
〈◊〉
farre
,
that
it
is
euen
to
boast
themselue●
before
the
seate
of
his
justice
,
of
th●
which
they
speake
most
vnworthily
,
●
without
a
convenient
respect
of
the
satisfaction
,
obedience
,
and
justice
of
Iesus
Christ
,
confounding
miserably
th●
cause
of
saluation
with
the
demonstration
of
the
grace
receaued
,
and
the
sig●
of
justification
.
Wee
are
debtours
not
to
the
flesh
to
liue
according
to
the
flesh
.
For
if
you
liue
according
to
the
flesh
,
you
die
:
but
if
by
the
spirit
you
mortifie
the
deeds
of
the
body
,
you
liue

of
the
holy
ghost
,
which
is
in
you
,
the
which
you
haue
of
God
,
and
are
not
your
owne
?
for
you
were
bought
with
a
price
:
then
glorifie
God
in
your
body
and
in
your
spirit
,
for
they
are
Gods
.
It
is
commanded
to
all
the
faithfull
carefully
to
keepe
and
entertaine
Faith
.
S.
Paul
sheweth
the
necessity
thereof
,
saying
,
1.
Tim.
1.18.19
.
Fight
a
good
fight
,
hauing
faith
and
a
good
conscience
,
which
some
haue
put
away
,
and
as
concerning
faith
haue
made
shipwracke
.
And
in
the
5.

If
there
be
any
that
prouideth
not
for
his
own
,
and
namely
for
them
of
his
houshold
,
he
denieth
the
faith
,
and
is
worse
then
an
infidell
.
The
necessity
of
repentance
is
conformed
by
this
protestation
of
the
Lord
,
As
surely
as
I
liue
,
I
desire
not
the
death
of
a
sinner
,
but
that
he
turne
from
his
wickednesse
and
liue
.
When
a
sinner
leaueth
his
wicked
course
,
he
is
quickned
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
to
the
end
he
may
walke
in
newnesse
of
life
:
for
regeneration
the
beginning
of
that
life
,
which
is
a
new
light
,
and
a
restauration
of
the
jmage
of
God
in
those
that
are
justified
.
As
for
the
necessity
to
auoyd
his
chastisements
,
Dauid
giueth
vs
warning
jnough
therof
,
when
hee
sayth
,
God
chastiseth
the
sonnes
of
men
,
because
of
their
iniquities
,
Psal.
89.33
.
The
second
cause
named
Dignity
,
Bee
yee
holy
,
as
I
am
holy
,
and
that
they
are
eleuated
and
called
to
be
holy
;
who
seeth
not
,
that
it
soueraignely
appertaineth
vnto
the
Saints
,
during
their
soiourning
in
this
world
,
to
doe
good
woorkes
?
That
in
his
labours
hee
had
a
respect
vnto
the
recompence
of
reward
.
The
children
of
God
are
not
mercenaries
,
and
life
euerlasting
is
not
a
reward
of
varlets
,
but
an
inheritance
of
children
;
the
recompence
which
they
expect
,
is
of
the
good
will
of
him
that
loued
them
from
before
the
foundation
of
the
world
.
They
acknowledge
themselues
vnprofitable
seruants
,
avouch
that
in
all
good
workes
they
haue
done
but
a
small
parcell
of
their
dutie
,
that
their
addresse
,
good
thoughts
,
sufficiency
,
and
force
is
of
God
,
who
maketh
in
them
both
the
willing
and
doing
according
to
his
good
pleasure
:
boasting
in
nothing
but
his
mercie
,
and
to
accomplish
the
law
&
accept
of
grace
:
But
because
that
this
good
Father
hath
vouchsafed
to
promise
them
a
reward
,
they
receiue
it
of
his
free
goodnesse
,
and
the
more
he
giueth
them
,
the
lesse
they
lift
vp
themselues
,
and
lesse
they
alleadge
their
seruices
,
and
the
more
they
condemne
in
their
minds
the
pride
of
the
justifiing
hipocrits
,
and
the
more
they
crie
to
their
Soueraigne
,
Enter
not
into
iudgement
with
thy
poore
seruants
:
for
no
man
liuing
shall
be
iustified
before
thy
face
,
if
he
presume
vppon
himselfe
,
vppon
his
aduantages
and
dignities
.
One
only
Iesvs
Christ
is
our
merite
,
our
wisedome
,
our
righteousnesse
,
sanctification
,
and
redemption
.
And
also
,
the
Faithfull
,
as
Abraham
,
Moyses
,
Dauid
,
S.
Paul
,
and
all
the
rest
,
haue
well
knowne
that
godlinesse
had
the
promises
of
this
present
life
,
as
well
as
of
the
life
to
come
:
and
therefore
asking
of
God
their
dayly
bread
which
comprehendeth
all
the
necessarie
aydes
and
succours
whiles
they
are
in
this
world
.
If
he
graunt
them
vnto
them
,
they
accept
of
them
as
voluntarie
rewards
of
his
liberall
fauour
,
and
render
him
thanksgiuing
for
them
.
They
haue
to
vphould
their
hope
in
this
behalfe
,
infinite
declarations
of
the
good
will
of
their
heauenly
Father
,
who
protesteth
that
the
least
good
deedes
of
his
child●en
,
shall
bee
followed
with
rich
and
ample
rewards
,
yea
euen
in
this
present
life
.

Now
because
that
the
good
works
done
by
Christians
,
Hee
is
thy
life
,
and
the
length
of
thy
dayes
.
Dauid
promiseth
that
those
that
are
good
,
shall
be
glutted
in
time
of
famine
,
Psalme
.
37.19
.
and
sayth
in
Psal.
34.11
.
that
those
that
seeke
the
Lord
,
shall
want
no
good
thing
.
2.
It
sheweth
that
God
will
conserue
and
keepe
his
Church
in
the
world
,
yea
in
the
middest
of
all
his
enemies
;
so
doth
hee
recompence
the
pietie
of
his
,
as
the
Apostle
.
1.
Tim
4.8
.
sayth
expresly
.
3.
God
will
haue
the
corporall
necessities
to
sharpen
Faith
,
patience
,
prayer
,
the
hope
of
his
;
and
that
in
their
refuge
to
his
grace
,
they
goe
from
force
to
force
.
4.
Also
that
the
promises
of
transitorie
goods
aduertise
the
Faithfull
of
the
certaintie
of
their
salvation
.
Faith
,
by
the
which
wee
embrace
Iesus
Christ
and
accept
of
the
reconsiliation
which
hee
hath
made
for
vs
,
ought
alwaies
to
goe
before
the
requests
that
wee
make
for
bodily
goods
.
It
is
in
fauour
of
the
onely
and
welbeloued
sonne
that
we
haue
the
promise
of
blessing
in
heauen
and
earth
according
as
he
himselfe
sayth
of
it
,
Iohn
.
16.23
.
All
that
you
shall
aske
of
my
Father
in
my
name
,
shall
be
giuen
vnto
you
.
5.
The
Lord
will
haue
all
men
to
know
that
his
Church
is
subiect
to
afflictions
,
and
neuerthelesse
is
miraculously
preserued
in
the
middest
of
dangers
,
as
in
times
past
in
Egipt
and
in
Caldea
,
as
also
Daniell
in
the
Lions
denne
,
and
his
companions
in
the
fierie
fournace
:
to
the
end
that
this
admirable
protection
of
the
people
of
God
,
and
all
his
excellent
deliuerances
might
be
euident
testimonies
of
the
presence
of
the
Lord
among
his
people
;
As
Moyses
sayd
,
Nom.
14.13
.
Thou
hast
made
this
people
by
thy
might
to
rise
out
of
the
middest
of
the
Egiptians
.
And
Iosua
to
the
Israelites
.
You
shall
know
that
the
mightie
liuing
God
is
in
the
middest
of
vs
.
Ios
3.10
.
that
all
the
earth
may
vnderstand
that
there
is
a
God
in
Israell
.
Ezechias
also
amongst
other
words
of
his
prayer
,
sayth
,
O
Lord
our
God
deliuer
vs
from
the
hand
of
Sauchirill
,
that
all
the
Kingdomes
of
the
earth
may
know
,
that
thou
only
art
the
Lord
.
That
God
doth
not
heare
sinners
,
Ioh.
9.31
.
Answere
is
made
to
that
by
distinction
,
of
two
sorts
of
sinnes
;
There
is
one
sinne
committed
wittingly
,
willingly
,
and
with
the
whole
consent
of
the
sinner
,
against
his
owne
conscience
,
in
prophane
despight
of
the
trtuth
manifested
in
the
law
,
or
in
the
gospell
,
of
the
which
the
sinner
is
sufficiently
convinced
;
The
good
christians
are
warranted
from
this
horrible
danger
.
There
are
also
sinnes
committed
by
the
corrupt
and
vicious
affections
,
by
foolish
confidence
,
jgnorance
,
euill
custome
,
to
great
presumption
of
strength
,
vehemence
of
vnbrideled
passions
,
forgetfulnesse
,
doubts
,
mistrusts
,
in
the
execution
of
the
which
the
sinners
feele
the
combats
,
goarings
,
gnawings
,
heauinesses
,
shames
,
despights
,
frights
and
feares
;
wherevpon
followeth
at
length
a
sorrow
according
to
God
,
then
repentance
,
faith
,
converting
to
God
,
changing
of
life
,

The
sinners
of
the
first
ranke
are
in
a
very
dangerous
estate
;
those
of
the
second
are
not
deplored
nor
desperate
.
God
knoweth
those
that
are
his
,
and
sheweth
himselfe
maruailous
in
his
justice
and
compassions
.
For
the
last
article
of
our
consideration
touching
christian
Charity
,
Thou
shalt
loue
thy
God
and

.
It

Wee
doe
not
pretend
to
speake
any
more
of
the
vices
opposed
against
the
vertues
:
for
it
is
enough
at
this
time
to
put
christians
in
mind
whereunto
they
ought
to
applye
themselues
,
when
question
is
made
of
the
duty
of
charity
.
The
vertues
commended
and
recommended
in
these
words
of
the
first
precept
,
Thou
shalt
haue
none
other
Gods
but
