To
the
Right
worshipfull
his
verie
good
friend
,
M.
Alexan●…
Nowel
,
Deane
of
Paules
.
THe
fatherlye
and
faithfull
maner
of
your
diuine
Doctrine
(
M.
Deane
,
)
with
the
blotlesse
life
you
lead
(
sounded
by
the
vniuersal
report
of
good
people
)
made
mee
often
desirous
to
dedicate
some
labour
of
mine
,
to
the
protection
of
your
sound
iudgement
.
And
now
pricked
forward
by
Gods
mightie
motion
(
and
maruellous
workes
of
late
)
to
bestowe
a
fewe
verses
to
a
vertuous
personage
,
in
a
vitious
world
&
dangerous
season
,
I
haue
chosen
you
among
a
multitude
,
to
sounde
out
the
trumpet
of
Gods
glorie
,
and
to
giue
passage
to
the
playnesse
of
my
pen
,
and
willing
paines
I
haue
taken
:
Not
as
though
my
wordes
or
inuention
(
voide
of
depe
profundity
)
might
aduance
any
waye
the
high
maiestie
of
God
,
or
further
the
good
Fame
you
haue
gotten
.
But
being
in
humility
of
minde
,
loking
to
the
basenesse
of
this
world
,
and
meannes
of
my
calling
,
(
vnfurnished
both
of
heauenly
gifts
&
worldly
good
fortunes
)
I
presumed
thorow
my
pen
and
studie
,
to
purchase
you
a
friend
,
and
reclaime
the
enimies
of
God
to
come
home
to
their
consciences
,
and
looke
on
the
wonders
of
the
Lorde
,
that
dayly
is
working
among
his
louing
people
.
So
neyther
meaning
to
flatter
(
where
tender
eares
can
abyde
no
doublenesse
)
nor
stretche
out
a
bare
Epistle
,
with
a
long
discourse
of
borrowed
wordes
,
I
betake
you
to
the
almightie
,
committing
that
followes
(
this
simple
short
Scedule
)
to
the
great
and
good
consideration
of
your
Wisdome
.
From
my
lodging
this
eight
of
April
.
Your
wel
willer
alwayes
at
commaundement

Churchyard●…

¶
Churchyardes
admonition
to
the
Reader
.
I
Trust
(
good
Reader
)
that
the
fresh
memorie
of
this
late
woonder
shall
make
thée
to
looke
backe-warde
vnto
thy
former
faultes
,
and
make
thée
a
new
man
,
i●…
cleannesse
of
life
.
For
the
straunger
the
things
are
that
our
eyes
behold
,
the
more
the
impression
of
the
minde
is
carnestly
occupied
about
the
vnderstanding
of
a
wonder
.
And
the
oftener
we
sée
maruelles
,
the
more
is
Gods
might
made
manifest
,
&
we
the
more
affrayed
to
offend
.
But
perhaps
,
some
fine
headed
fellowes
will
wrest
(
by
naturall
argumentes
)
Gods
doing
and
works
,
to
a
worldly
or
earthly
operation
▪
procéeding
from
a
hidden
cause
in
the
body
and
bowels
of
the
earth
.
As
in
déede
of
many
other
earthquakes
before
,
hath
bene
written
and
throughly
disputed
:
A
reason
that
man
maketh
,
and
a
matter
to
be
spoken
of
,
but
not
much
to
be
commended
.
Let
such
fine
wittes
search
out
secretes
,
and
sift
what
they
can
from
the
bottome
of
their
senses
.
Yet
those
that
feare
God
,
(
and
féele
in
their
consciences
a
diuine
motion
from
the
consideration
of
worldly
wonders
)
will
take
the
Earthquake
to
be
of
a nother
kinde
of
Nature
:
And
beholding
the
myraculous
manner
of
the
same
,
with
open
armes
,
and
humble
heart
,
will
embrace
Gods
visitation
,
&
worthily
welcome
the
messanger
he
sendeth
.
Which
assuredly
cannot
come
,
without
his
prouidence
,
nor
be
séen
without
his
heauenly
will
and
pleasure
.
And
this
is
much
to
be
noted
:
If
naturall
causes
onely
compelled
such
Earthquaks
(
and
procured
such
tremblings
,
)
then
aswell
in
the
wilde
fieldes
,
as
in
the
ciuill
Townes
,
these
alterations
were
often
to
be
found
.
In
déede
many
graue
Auctors
write
,
how
mightie
mountaines
haue
bene
remoued
,
&
whole
Countreys
haue
bene
drowned
,
by
the
occasion
of
Earthquaks
.
But
in
those
kingdomes
,
the
Lorde
of
al
Kinges
(
for
some
hidden
iudgement
to
himselfe
)
bore
a
greater
sway
in
those
causes
and
places
,
than
any
other
natural
properties
.
And
though
that
in
many
territories
&
open
fieldes
(
as
good
bookes
make
report
)
Earthquakes
haue
bene
séene
,
and
great
hurt
hath
bene
done
:
yet
the
harmes
that
come
by
Earthquakes
in
a
ciuill
towne
(
where
God
is
honored
and
taketh
care
of
his
people
)
argues
a
maruellous
mysterie
,
and
perswades
a
further
matter
,
than
weake
witted
men
may
meddle
withall
.
For
sundry
Cities
haue
soonk
,
&
millions
of
Houses
,
Churches
,
Towres
,
and
walles
,
haue
bene
by
Earthquake
vtterly
ouerthrowen
.
But
commonly
such
wonders
are
séen
,
where
all
the
world
may
be
a
witnesse
of
Gods
great
glory
:
and
mans
vnsuretie
of
life
may
be
thorowly
vnderstoode
.
Now
if
for
all
things
that
sodenly
happen
,
a
reason
may
be
made
,
and
naturall
argumentes
leade
mans
beléefe
from
the
hope
,
feare
,
&
confidence
in
God
,
then
though
thousandes
of
wonders
happened
in
a
day
,
not
one
among
ten
thousand
would
thinke
that
God
doth
any
thing
at
al
,
but
as
natural
causes
do
fal
out
,
●…h
thing
to
haue
both
beginning
and
their
end
.
God
kéepe
his
chosen
from
such
a
conceit
of
chance
,
and
beléefe
of
blindnesse
.
But
now
to
be
plaine
,
no
threatning
serueth
a
naughtie
seruaunt
,
No
whippe
,
nor
rod
,
amendeth
a
loytering
scholler
,
nor
no
example
may
reforme
a
filthie
liuer
.
For
when
the
plague
is
past
,
the
people
fall
to
pleasure
.
And
euen
as
a
horse
forgets
the
spurre
,
&
falles
to
a
i●…nbeling
pace
,
immediatly
after
his
gentle
remembrance
:
so
man
thinkes
no
longer
on
a
wonder
than
a
dreame
,
and
makes
no
more
accompt
of
a
meruaile
,
than
if
a
trifle
had
bene
tolde
him
.
Yet
my
hope
is
(
good
Reader
)
that
the
wise
will
be
warned
,
and
the
well
disposed
person
will
be
the
better
,
while
he
liueth
,
as
oft
as
this
late
Earthquake
shal
come
to
his
minde
and
memorie
.
For
it
was
maruelous
in
the
sight
of
man
,
&
a
great
thing
(
no
doubt
)
before
the
face
of
the
Almightie
:
to
whom
be
praise
and
glory
for
euer
.

The
reporte
of
the
saide
Earthquake
,
howe
it
beganne
.
ON
Wednesdaye
in
the
Easter
wéeke
,
beyng
the
sixt
day
of
April
.
1580.
betwene
the
houres
of
fiue
and
sixe
in
the
euening
,
hapned
generally
through
all
the
City
of
London
,
&
the
Suburbes
of
the
same
(
as
it
were
in
a
moment
and
vppon
the
sodaine
)
a
wonderful
motion
and
trembling
of
the
earth
,
in
somuch
,
as
Churches
,
Pallaces
,
Houses
,
and
other
buildings
did
so
quiuer
and
shake
,
that
such
as
were
then
present
in
the
same
were
tossed
too
and
fro
as
they
stoode
,
and
others
,
as
they
sate
on
seates
,
driuen
off
from
their
places
:
some
leaning
backewardes
,
were
readye
to
fall
:
and
manye
besides
so
shaken
standing
,
that
it
broughte
suche
terror
to
those
that
were
in
the
same
houses
,
that
the
most
part
feared
,
their
houses
woulde
come
downe
vpon
them
,
and
therevppon
ranne
oute
of
their
doores
in
greate
pe●…plexitie
,
to
sée
whether
their
houses
were
stil
standing
in
their
wonted
place
or
no.
And
some
houses
did
so
crackle
,
that
the
tables
and
stooles
,
with
other
furniture
,
as
Bra●…e
and
Pewter
,
so
tottered
,
that
it
was
thought
they
would
haue
fallen
to
the
ground
,
and
the
houses
reste
insunder
.
And
this
chaunced
not
only
in
London
(
&
the
suburbs
of
the
same
)
but
also
in
diuers
other
parts
through
the
nerest
places
of
our
knowlege
in
England
.
But
specially
about
S.
Katherins
,
the
Limehouse
,
&
Rad●…liffe
,
where
the
people
were
so
maruellously
amazed
,
that
it
was
pitifull
to
beholde
how
fearefully
they
ranne
oute
of
their
doores
,
and
howe
strangely
one
would
beholde
an
other
,
thinking
verilye
,
that
the
latter
daye
hadde
bene
come
.
And
the
houses
on
London
bridge
didde
shake
euen
in
the
same
sort
as
in
other
parts
of
the
Citie
.
Whereby
it
appeareth
,
that
the
sayd
trembling
and
mouing
of
the
earth
,
did
not
onely
passe
vnder
the
houses
on
the
firme
ground
,
but
also
vnder
the
riuers
and
waters
.
And
to
signifie
better
the
generalitie
of
the
same
,
you
shal
vnderstand
,
that
the
Abbey
Church
at
Westminster
,
was
there
with
so
shaken
,
that
one
of
the
Pinacles
of
the
same
,
loste
aboue
one
foote
of
his
toppe
,
the
stones
whereof
fel
to
the
ground
.
Also
the
stéeple
in
the
Pallace
so
shoke
,
that
the
bel
of
the
great
Clocke
sounded
therewith
,
as
thoughe
it
hadde
bene
stricken
with
some
hā●…er
.
Also
at
White
H●…l
where
hir
Maiestie
lieth
,
the
great
Chamber
&
other
parts
of
the
Court
so
shooke
,
as
séemed
strange
to
such
as
were
present
.
The
new
Hall
of
the
middle
Temple
did
so
shake
also
,
as
it
caused
a
number
of
Gentlemen
(
being
set
to
Supper
)
to
roon
forth
with
their
kniues
in
their
hands
,
fearing
that
it
woulde
fall
.
It
chanced
also
,
Tho.
Cobhed
being
in
the
pulpit
in
Christes
church
in
Newgate
market
,
preaching
to
the
people
,
sodenly
the
church
so
shooke
,
the
out
of
the
roofe
of
the
same
fell
certayne
greate
stones
,
by
the
fall
whereof
,
a
boy
named
Thomas
Gray
,
apprentice
to
Iohn
Spurling
Shoomaker
,
was
brayned
,
and
Mabell
Eueret
his
fellowe
seruaunt
,
was
stricken
on
the
heade
with
a
stone
,
being
daungerously
hurt
,
but
is
not
dead
:
and
a
number
of
the
people
(
by
hasting
to
flee
and
scape
away
)
were
sore
brused
and
hurt
,
by
falles
and
suche
like
a●…cidentes
.
A
number
being
at
the
Theatre
and
the
Curtaine
at
Hollywell
,
beholding
the
playes
,
were
so
sh●…ken
,
especially
those
that
stoode
in
the
hyghest
roomthes
and
standings
,
that
they
were
not
a
little
dismayed
,
considering
,
that
they
coulde
no
waye
shifte
for
themselues
,
vnlesse
they
woulde
,
by
leaping
,
hazarde
their
liues
or
limmes
,
as
some
did
in
déede
,
leaping
from
the
lowest
standings
.
Also
in
Shordiche
,
and
other
places
,
fell
Chimneis
,
and
among
others
,
in
Filpot
Lane
,
at
Maister
Alderman
Osbornes
●…el
a
péece
of
a
Chimney
:
like
wise
from
the
toppe
of
Paules
Church
,
and
other
places
,
fel
small
péeces
of
stone
,
&
morter
from
the
toppes
of
houses
.
And
other
harme
is
not
yet
heard
of
(
for
the
why●…h
God
be
thanked
.
)
LEt
London
wéep
,
whose
wals
of
late
did
shake
with
trembling
feare
,
Put
sack●…loth
on
,
&
waile
your
sins
,
with
many
a
bytter
teare
:
For
in
your
pompe
,
and
chiefest
pryde
,
when
Plagues
began
to
seace
,
And
peoples
hardned
stubborne
heartes
,
forgot
the
God
of
peace
:
An
Earthquake
came
,
with
whirling
noise
as
House
and
Towre
should
fall
:
A
louing
rodde
of
threatning
wrath
,
sent
sure
to
warne
vs
all
.
For
such
a
terror
did
it
bring
,
to
euery
honest
minde
,
As
day
of
Iudgement
had
bene
come
,
with
storme
and
whirling
winde
.
The
stréets
did
shake
,
the
Churches
réelde
,
the
ground
it
quiuered
sore
,
Men
stoode
amazde
,
and
women
shreekt
,
the
babes
did
crie
and
rore
:
The
Stéeples
tottred
too
and
fro
,
and
locks
of
doores
did
clinke
:
The
tiles
from
house
came
tumbling
downe
,
and
ground
began
to
shrinke
.
The
Bels
did
sounde
without
mans
helpe
,
the
water
wawmde
and
boylde
.
The
trées
and
floures
did
quake
for
feare
,
as
fruite
should
cleane
be
spoylde
.
The
Theatre
,
for
(
some
great
regarde
)
that
open
world
shoulde
note
,
Was
shakte
so
sore
,
that
sundrye
there
,
a
feareful
frighting
goett
.
Yea
some
were
slaine
,
&
crusht
with
stones
from
Christs
Church
roofe
that
fel
:
And
earth
was
brought
,
in
such
a
state
,
as
world
shoulde
sinke
to
Hel.
The
wondring
sort
(
of
wicked
mindes
)
that
carelesse
steppes
do
trea●…e
,
Will
smile
to
sée
the
workes
of
God
,
as
wanton
liues
they
leade
.
But
those
that
grace
hath
toucht
within
,
by
outward
signes
will
show
,
That
hart
forethinks
foule
former
faults
,
for
feare
of
greater
blowe
,
Than
now
they
féele
through

strange

wherin
Gods
might

And
London
(
if

Loke

what

roote
,
And
search
your

(

So

A

Reporte

the
great
Earthquake
.
SInce
forrain
Reportes
(
right
christian
Reader
)
may
not
suffice
to
call
in
question
our
frailty
,
nor
the
hearing
of
Children
monsterously
borne
prouoke
vs
to
bridle
our
vntamed
flesh
,
nor
the
warres
and
cruel
bloodsheds
of
other
Cuntries
with
their
great
pes●…ilences
,
sorowes
,
and
vnquiet
state
can
make
vs
to
be
thankful
for
the
Gospel
which
wée
haue
quietly
maintaned
by
so
gratious
a
Prince
that
the
vniuersall
world
hath
in
admiration
:
yet
must
this
present
cause
this
fearful
w●…nder
,
this
gentle
token
and
swéet
correction
mortifie
our
cankred
conceits
and
break
in
peeces
our
hardned
●…arts
.
Dul
sighted
is
that
man
that
séeth
no●…
through
this
perfect
spectacle
the
heauy
burden
of
his
grée●…ous
offences
,
when
Heauen
and
Earth
,
Fish
and
Fowle
,
Beasts
and
Woormes
quake
for
our
sin
.
Now
dooth
the
ancient
Enemie
séek
after
starting
holes
,
and
with
vain
encouragements
would
perswade
men
to
esteeme
these
rare
tokens
as
common
trifles
,
therefore
it
behooues
vs
to
put
on
the
helmet
of
Saluation
,
the
swoord
of
the
Spirit
,
the
Armour
of
life
,
&
kéep
the
Castle
of
a
cléer
Conscience
to
with
stand
the
gréeuous
assaults
of
those
thrée
Rebels
the
world
,
the
flesh
and
the
deuil
.
If
wée
haue
with
Péeter
the
Apostle
broken
promise
with
our
Maister
,
and
denyed
him
:
let
vs
also
with
Péeter
the
Apostle
s●…ed
sorowful
teares
,
and
with
hartie
repentaunce
win
him
to
be
our
good
Father
again
.
If
wée
haue
with
cruel
hands
committed
murder
,
or
bondes
of
holy
mariage
:
let
vs
with
Dauid
be
waile
the
death
of
Urias
,
&
lament
the
raye
of
Bet●…sabe
,
for
hée
is
a
gratious
God
,
and
hath
no
plesure
to
giue
vnto
his
Enemy
the
olde
serpent
the
creature
that
hée
hath
made
and
fashioned
for
him self
to
make
vp
his
number
of
Saints
.
If
thou
hast
béen
a
persecuter
with
Saul
:
thy
remedy
is
to
become
a
Preacher
with
Paul
,
for
hée
hath
no
pleasure
in
the
death
of
a
Sinner
,
but
rather
that
hée
may
liue
and
amend
.
If
thou
hast
with
Mary
Magdalen
broken
the
boundes
of
modestie
,
and
folowed
the
vain
whistle
of
wantonnes
,
forgetting
from
whence
thou
camst
,
whers
thou
art
,
and
whither
thou
must
:
throwe
from
thée
the
golden
ball
of
pleasure
which
is
secretly
linde
with
poyson
,
&
humbly
with
Mary
Magdalenanoint
the
feet
of
thy
Sauiour
with
the
teares
of
thy
hart
and
wipe
them
with
the
heares
of
thy
hed
.
Doo
not
with
the
vnwise
man
fall
in
argument
with
thy
maker
why
thou
art
made
of
this
fashion
or
framed
of
the
mettel
,
for
it
is
no
reason
the
pot
should
say
to
the
Potter
why
haste
thou
made
mée
of
this
fashion
?
If
thou
finde
in
thy self
any
imperfections
by
Nature
:
thy
remedie
is
to
make
it
perfect
by
Nurture
.
Set
not
thy
glory
vpon
sumptuous
and
stately
buildings
,
which
are
subiect
to
the
winde
that
is
due
vnto
thy
God
,
which
bothe
winde
and
wethers
doo
obey
,
for
so
dooing
,
thy
wilful
pleasure
wil
in
the
end
return
thy
woful
disproffit
.
Striue
not
with
Pharo
to
be
a
roring
Lyon
,
but
labour
with
the
Apostles
tob●…
a
méek
Lamb.
Consider
what
a
familiēr
name
the
Lord
was
content
to
take
vpon
him
hauing
the
choise
of
all
names
in
his
owne
hands
.
Had
hée
called
him self
Emperour
,
to
that
name
had
belonged
great
maiestie
.
Had
hée
called
him self
King
,
great
is
the
feare
of
a
Subiect
toward
that
name
.
Had
hée
called
him self
Iustice
to
decide
controuersies
,
there
had
belongd
a
woorshipful
reuerence
to
that
degrée
,
but
hée
to
showe
the
kindenes
of
a
merciful
God
:
took
the
name
of
our
Father
vpon
him
,
and
did
not
disoain
to
cal
vs
his
Children
.
Then
must
wée
by
naturall
reason
think
,
which
by
bodily
Fathers
,
when
wée
sée
our
owne
Children
go
astray
,
fall
into
themiseries
of
the
world
run
after
the
slesh
,
and
become
carelesse
of
their
Elders
counsel
,
if
it
make
our
●…eds
gray
,
our
harts
heauy
,
must
it
not
néeds
offend
our
heauenly
Father
to
sée
his
swéet
promises
refused
,
his
deuine
excellencie
so
slightly
credited
,
and
his
Ministers
so
slowly
followed
?
That
wounded
man
deserues
to
haue
his
sore
rancle
,
his
flesh
rot
,
&
his
bones
putrifie
,
the
knowes
a
●…alue
and
wil
not
be
his
owne
Surgion
.
Euen
so
since
it
hath
pleased
him
to
say
Come
vnto
me
all
you
that
are
heuy
loden
and
I
wil
ease
you
,
if
wée
come
not
,
our
sloth
is
the
cause
of
our
sorrow
,
and
wée
found
guiltie
of
our
owne
blood
.
If
thou
hast
béen
prodigall
or
vainly
spent
thy
life
or
liuing
vpon
surfeting
dishes
the
worldly
pleasure
had
prouided
for
thée
,
or
if
thou
hast
doted
vpon
the
painted
bea●…tie
of
Harlots
whose
secret
winks
and
priuy
smiles
are
like
drawing
Adamants
.
If
thou
hast
béen
●…ld
in
the
Cradle
of
delight
and
●…ng
a
●…léep
with
the
Sirens
,
labor
ernestly
in
the
Uiniard
of
thy
minde
and
with
the
prodigall
Sonne
return
to
to
thy
Father
,
and
say
Father
I
haue
sinned
against
heauen
and
against
thee
,
I
am
no
more
woorthy
to
be
called
thy
sonne
.
Then
he
according
to
his
fatherly
mercy
wil
cause
the
fatted
Calf
to
be
kild
,
put
a
ring
on
thy
hand
and
a
faire
garment
on
thy
back
.
That
wée
may
be
all
so
accepted
after
our
time
of
prodigalitie
&
vain
expence
of
life
:
let
vs
with
harty
repentaunce
humble
harts
&
lowe
knées
pray
vnto
the
Lord
to
whome
be
all
honor
&
glory
.
Amen
.
A
true
Reporte
of
the
Earth
quake
in
London
.
Two
or
thrée
honest
men
that
walked
for
their
pleasure
into
Moorféeld
(
sitting
vpon
a
hil
)
were
vpon
a
suddain
tumbled
down
with
such
violence
that
when
they
recouered
them selues
:
they
were
so
amazed
that
for
a
good
space
they
could
not
one
speake
to
the
other
.
¶
Two
honest
Men
more
sitting
on
a
Cannon
vpon
Tower
hil
were
on
a
sudden
throwen
of
and
the
Cannons
rolled
and
hop●…
vp
and
down
very
straunge
.
The
very
waters
and
diches
shooke
and
frothed
wunderfully
.
There
were
diuers
Chimneies
in
many
places
about
the
Citie
the
vpper
part
throwen
down
.
The
Beasts
in
the
féeld
●…orde
meruelously
.
In
Christes
Church
with
a
stone
that
fel
,
there
was
one
kild
,
and
many
hurt
,
in
stri●…ing
to
get
foorth
of
the
Church
.
¶
They
were
so
terrified
in
the
Royall
Exchaunge
that
many
wept
with
feare
,
&
with
asmuch
spéed
as
they
might
many
shut
vp
their
windowes
béeing
very
fearfully
amazed
.
Through
the
whole
Citie
this
suddain
token
was
suddainly
feard
and
I
stand
in
do●…t
wil
as
suddainly
be
forgotten
.
A
number
of
other
things
which
are
so
commonly
knowen
as
I
néed
not
to
write
them
.
This
wunder
came
so
vnlookd
for
,
that
they
forsooke
their
houses
in
feare
&
with
such
things
as
they
had
in
their
hands
,
running
into
the
stréets
gasing
one
vpon
an
other
.
This
beeing
considered
to
shew
our
thankfulnes
for
so
merciful
a
token
let
vs
desire
the
Lord
our
God
to
accept
our
humble
prayer
.
A

O
Heauenly

which
of

heauenly

after

Such
is
the
blindenes
of
our
present
state

〈◊〉
dooth
kéep
so
great
a
coyle
,
that
Saints
&
Martirs
they
are
slain
a
new
:
And
Usury
bréeds
such
a
bloody
broyle
,
that
Pouertie
bids
all
his
ioyes
adieu
.
Blindnes
hyes
him
●…ast
to

too
smother

with

&
great

Then
Gl●…ttony

challenge
for
his

his
earthly

which

And
wicked

,
dooth
think
this
wanton
world
wil

still

With
seuerall

they
doo
not

to
say
:
Put

til

.
But
if
these
tokens
which

took
no

You

vnlesse

Heauen

Our
health
of

must
hang
in
great
suspence
When
earth
and
Sea

for

But
now

Stewards

See

The

Let

Use

So

With
Psalmes
