OVr
Saviour
Christ
in
great
humility
and
mercy
,
came
to
save
and
to
seeke
the
lost
sheepe
of
Israel
;
unto
whom
hee
came
,
not
empty
handed
,
neither
did
hee
leade
an
unprofitable
life
among
them
:
but
all
his
workes
were
witnesses
of
his
love
,
to
their
soules
and
bodies
,
in
curing
the
one
,
and
feeding
the
other
;
for
he
went

doing
good
,
curing
all
that
were
oppressed
of
the
divell
.
Yet
for
all
his
manifold
mercies
&
manifest
miracles
which
he
wroght
among
these
stubborne
Iewes
,
they
requited
him
with
inveterate
hatred
,
and
maliciously
interpreted
his
workes
,
to
be
wrought
by
the
power
of
the
Divell
;
for
so
they
say
,
This
fellow
doth
not

out
Divells
but
by
Beelzebub
the
prince
of
the
Divells
.
But
our
blessed
Saviour
knowing
their
cursed
malice
and
obstinate
wickednesse
,
by
sound
arguments
confutes
their
calumnies
,
and
discovers
their
intollerable
blasphemie
.
So
that
in
this
Story
,
the
holy
Evangelist
doth
lay
open
a
double
conflict
ofour
Saviour
;
the
first
is
against
Sathan
the
enemy
of
mankinde
,
in
the
body
of
a
poore
man
;
the
other
in
the
tongue
of
these
obstinate
pharises
.
In
the
one
,
he
was
a
blinde
&
dumb
divell
,
in
the
other
a
seeing
and
perverse
adversarie
.
Now
,
because
violence
doth
not
make
an
enemy
so
dangerous
as
cunning
and
craftie
:
therefore
our
Saviour
casts
him
presently
out
of
the
blinde
and
dumbe
man
.
Where
in
he
shewed
himselfe
by
force
;
but
out
of
these
subtill
and
malicious
Pharises
,
he
did
not
so
easily
cast
him
out
,
but
is
forced
to
come
from
sound
arguments
(
which
might
have
stopt
their
mouths
)
to
passe
a
doome
upon
them
in
the
conclusion
of
Vers
45.
this
Parable
;
Even
so
shalt
it
be
also
to
this
wicked
generation
.
When
the
uncleane
spirit
is
gone
out
of
a
man
.
Whether
these
words
were
directed
to
the
poore
man
,
out
of
whom
the
divell
was
gone
out
,
or
to
the
stubborne
Iewes
,
may
seeme
a
Question
.
No
doubt
but
it
may
very
fitly
be
applyed
to
the
former
,
that
having
received
so
great
a
benefit
,
he
should
not
be
unthankefull
to
the
Lord
for
his
deliverance
,
or
grow
secure
and
carelesse
;
least
by
his
negligence
and
misdemeanour
,
the
devill
which
now
was
cast
out
of
him
,
should
returne
and
take
possession
of
him
againe
;
and
so
his
last
end
should
be
worse
than
the
beginning
.
Or
else
these
words
may
serve
to
be
a
witnesse
against
these
perverse
Scribes
and
Pharises
,
to
seale
up
their
further
damnation
:
It
may
serve
for
both
,
and
bee
as
a
patterne
for
the
godly
to
imitate
;
to
teach
them
to
order
their
speech
,
that
their
words
being
weighed
in
the
ballance
of
wisedome
,
and
powdered
with
the
salte
of
discretion
,
may
tend
to
edification
,
and
minister
grace
to
the

For

many

,
than
those
unto
whom
the

.
When
the
uncleane
spirit
is
gone
out
of
a
man
.
This
uncleane
spirit
which
keepes
possession
by
the
power
of
sinne
,
was
after
a
sort
formerly
cast
out
of
the
Iewes
,
when
they
received
the
Law
of
Moses
,
and
so
were
taught
to
worship
the
true
God
aright
;
then
this
uncleane
spirit
,
with
his
filthy
troope
,
being
destitute
of
so
convenient
a
lodging
,
walked
through
drie
places
,
amongst
the
Gentiles
to
seeke
rest
,
whom
hee
corrupted
in
such
a
vile
manner
,
that
hee
made
them
leese
both
sence
and
humanity
,
and
fall
into
all
manner
of
blindenesse
and
Idolatry
,
as
we
may
see
Rom.
1.
24.
in
so
much
,
that
being
seduced
by
him
,
they
worshipped
and
served
him
,
with
manifold
Idolatries
;
so
that
at
the
last
,
hee
had
so
farre
infatuated
their
understanding
,
that
they
also
worshipped
Catts
,
Serpents
,
and
other
filthy
creatures
,
as
may
appeare
by
the
testimony
of
divers
historians
.
Hesiod
(
as
Eusebius
observes
)
saith
,
There
was
worshipped
upon
the
earth
30.
thousand
gods
.
In
which
Idolatrie
the
Gentiles
continued
,
untill
the
Lord
Iesus
preached
the
truth
of
his
Gospel
amongst
them
;
which
glad
tydings
they
embraced
,
and
forsooke
their
former
errours
,
and
beleeved
in
him
,
and
when
they
saw
his
miracles
,
they
spake
very
honourably
of
him
,
and
acknowledged
him
to
be
Saviour
of
the
world
;
of
whom
it
was
foretold
by
the
Prophet
,
that
He
Esay
35.
6.
should
open
the
eyes
of
the
blinde
,
and
unstop
the
eares
of
the
deafe
.
Then
Sathan
this
uncleane
spirit
,
was
forced
to
goe
out
of
them
also
.
But
the
Iewes
,
unto
whom
Christ
the
Saviour
of
the
world
was
sent
,
opposed
and
disgraced
him
in
his
workes
and
miracles
,
and
by
all
means
laboured
to
withstand
him
.
Sathan
finding
this
opportunity
,
returned
backe
againe
unto
these
stubborne
Iewes
,
whose
Religion
he
found
stuffed
with
a
number
of
blinde
Ceremonies
and
pharisaicall
traditions
,
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
.
In
the
Temple
,
in
stead
of
Pastors
to
teach
the
word
,
he
found
Drovers
&
Brokers
,
making
of
sale
:
In
stead
of
pues
for
prayer
,
tables
for
Vsurers
&
money
changers
;
and
in
stead
of
a
Congregation
for
the
Saints
,
he
found
a
denne
of
Theeves
.
Sathan
I
say
,
finding
this
opportunity
,
enters
into
them
,
and
houlds
them
in
blindnesse
and
ignorance
;
so
that
their
last
end
is
worse
than
their
beginning
:
For
,
now
they
are
deprived
of
their
Temple
and
liberty
,
and
are
as
vagabonds
upon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
as
appeares
this
day
.
By
which
we
may
see
,
what
a
wofull
judgement
all
those
are
liable
unto
,
which
oppose
the
grace
of
God
,
when
it
is
offered
unto
them
.
They
doe
as
much
as
in
them
lyes
,
lay
themselves
open
to
the
malice
of
Sathan
;
who
having
gained
any
opportunity
,
will
hardly
be
driven
from
them
.
Thus
having
sayd
as
much
as
is
needefull
for
the
understanding
of
this
present
Parable
;
yet
,
that
we
may
receive
the
greater
profit
by
it
,
we
will
for
methods
sake
(
which
is
memories
guide
)
reduce
the
matter
therein
contayned
under
these
foure
heads
.
1.
Wee
will
shew
the
manner
and
the
measure
of
Sathans
departure
from
the
soule
of
man
;
and
then
how
he
demeaneth
himselfe
,
when
he
is
gone
.
2.
His
diligence
to
regaine
his
former
possession
,
with
the
reasons
that
induce
him
thereunto
.
3.
When
he
hath
regained
possession
,
how
forciblie
hee
sences
himselfe
to
prevent
expulsion
.
4.
The
miserable
estate
of
all
those
hee
repossesses
,
how
and
wherein
their
end
is
worse
than
their
beginning
.
These
4.
points
by
Gods
grace
shall
be
the
substance
of
my
ensuing
discourse
,
of
which
in
their
order
.
We
will
begin
with
the
first
,
contayned
in
these
words
,
When
the
uncleane
spirit
is
gone
out
,
&c.
In
these
words
is
contained
the
uncleane
spirits
departure
,
and
demeanour
when
he
is
gone
.
This
uncleane
spirit
is
here
described
:
1.
By
his
essence
,
he
is
a
spirit
.
2.
By
his
quality
or
condition
,
an
uncleane
spirit
.
He
is
a
spirit
.
The
word
spirit
in
Scripture
,
sometime
doth
signifie
the
essence
of
the
god-head
,
as
God
is
a
Spirit

But
that
wee
may
not
spend
our
time
about
the
divers
acceptation
of
the
word
Spirit
,
we
are
to
know
,
that
whensoever
wee
finde
the
word
Spirit
set
downe
without
any
other
word
to
expresse
the
meaning
of
it
,
then
we
are
to
know
,
that
the
third
person
in
the
Holy
Trinity
is
meant
,
as
Rom.

.
But
when
it
is
set
downe
with
his
adjective
,
the
nature
and
quality
of
his
adjective
will
easily
demonstrate
what
the
substantive
importeth
;
as
the
evill
spirit
vexed

Saul
;
that
is
,
the
Divell
.
And
in
this
place
he
is
called
An
uncleane
spirit
,
whereby
his
nature
is
expressed
to
be
uncleane
.
And
thus
much
for
his
essence
.
He
is
a
Spirit
.
Come
wee
now
to
speake
of
his
quality
and
condition
;
He
is
uncleane
.
The
divell
is
an
uncleane
spirit
,
but
not
in
regard
of
his
creation
,
but
in
respect
of
the
condition
hee
brought
upon
himselfe
.
The
Scriptures
teach
,
that
the
Divell
was
not
created
evill
;
For
,
God
saw
every
thing
that
he
had
Gen.
1.
31.
made
,
and
behould
it
was
very
good
.
He
was
created
an
Angell
of
Light
,
and
a
spirit
without
mixture
of
body
;
immortall
without
feare
of
corruption
;
intellectuall
with
exceeding
promptnesse
of
wit
;
free
that
nothing
could
force
his
will
,
wise
with
fulnesse
of
naturall
knowledge
;
powerfull
above
all
inferiour
creatures
:
wholy
decked
with
admirable
vertues
;
capable
of
seeing
God
clearely
,
with
promise
of
this
glory
,
if
he
persevered
in
his
service
.
But
not
being
content
with
this
his
estate
,
but
seeking
to
pry
into
the
majesty
of
the
deity
,
Esay
14.
12.
and
to
usurpe
the
glory
of
his
maker
,
was
therefore
dejected
and
cast
into
hell
;
and
so
from
being
a
blessed
Angell
in
Heaven
,
he
is
become
a
damned
devill
in
hell
.
As
he
derived
his
nature
from
God
,
so
he
is
good
;
but
this
depravation
of
his
nature
is
from
himselfe
.
An
Angell
he
was
of
Gods
making
,
&
a
divell
of
his
owne
.
And
now
being
deprived
of
the
glory
of
God
,
he
delights
in
all
uncleannesse
,
&
is
an
utter
enemie
to
all
holinesse
.
Therefore
he
useth
all
meanes
to
make
mankinde
as
unhappie
as
himselfe
,
and
to
wrappe
every
mothers
Childe
under
the
curse
of

As
soone
as
our
first
Parents
were
set
in
Paradise
;
though
they
were
furnished
with
the
invincible
army
of
innocencie
and
righteousnesse
,
so
that
he
was
not
able
to
conquer
them
by
force
and
violence
;
yet
out
of
an
inveterate
hatred
which
he
bare
to
the
Image
of
God
shining
in
them
,
and
out
of
envie
to
their
happinesse
,
hee
entered
into
a
treacherous
parlie
with
our
Grandmother
Eve
,
and
so
bewitched
her
sences
with
flattery
,
that
he
caused
her
to
wandor
from
the
truth
of
Gods
Word
;
and
to
intice
her
husband
to
transgresse

,

the
Commandement
of
God
;
whereby
they
put
off
the
Armour
of
innocencie
and
righteousnesse
,
and
entertayned
into
their
soules
a
troupe
of
his
ambitious
tentations
;
and
then
having
gayned
the
possession
he
sought
for
,
presently
he
ransacked
their
soules
,
and
deprived
them
of
all
spirituall
graces
,
and
brought
them
like
inferiour
Captives
under
his
dominion
.
And
that
he
might
the
more
securely
keepe
them
under
subjection
,
he
did
not
onely
kill
and
wound
Gods
graces
in
their
soules
,
but
in
stead
of
them
,
hee
placed
a
strong
Garison
of
carnall
corruptions
and
fleshly
lusts
,
which
should
be
as
a
Porter
to
open
passage
to
his
temptations
,
whensoever
he
please
to
make
any
entrance
.
Thus
having
so
poysoned
the
fountaine
and
head
spring
of
all
mankinde
;
all
men
now
they
are
conceived
in
sinne
,
and
brought
forth
in
iniquitie
.
And
are
deprived
Psal.

,
23.
of
the
glory
of
God
.
And
remaine
under
the
governance
of
this
uncleane
spirit
.
And
in
this
miserable
condition
,
every
one
had
remained
,
if
the
wisedome
of
God
had
not
found
out
a
way
to
redeeme
us
,
out
of
this
his
bondage
and
servitude
.
Thus
we
have
discovered
our
adversarie
,
to
be
in
power
a
spirit
,
and
in
nature
and
condition
an
uncleane
spirit
,
one
that
for
his
pride
and
rebellion
was
cast
out
of
Heaven
:
therefore
woe
to
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
,
for
hee
will
doe
as
much
mischiefe
as
he
can
;
he
knowes
his
time
is
but
short
,
and
therefore
he
will
loose
no
opportunitie
,
but
will
labour
by
all
meanes
,
to
make
all
mankinde
as
filthy
as
himselfe
.

whosoever

sinne
,
is
the
servant
of
sinne
.
Then
in
this
bondage
and
Captivitie
,
all
naturall
and
unregenerate
men
remaine
,
bound
under
the
curse
of
the
Law
,
untill
the
custome
of
sinne
hath
taken
away
the
sence
of
sinne
;
and
then
this
Tyrant
,
plunges
them
under
the
curse
of
God
before
they
are
aware
.
As
every
sinne
is
uncleane
in
the
Concreat
;
so
there
is
a
sinne
called
uncleannesse
in
the
Abstract
;
as
if
it
were
in
a
speciall
manner
breathed
out
of
the
mouth
of
this
uncleane
spirit
.
This
uncleane
and
filthy
sinne
,
is
the
sinne
of
Adulterie
and
Fornication
,
which
though
it
seeme
a
Paradise
to
the
desire
,
yet
it
is
a
Purgatory
to
the
purse
;
and
a
hell
to
the
soule
,
and
dishonours
the
noble
name
of
a
Christian
.
And
though
the
wanton
minions
of
this
age
extenuate
it
,
and
say
,
it
is
but
a
tricke
of
youth
;
yet
let
them
know
,
that
it
is

God
will

.
But
of
the
filthinesse
and
fearefulnesse
of
this
sinne
I
have
spoken
at
large
in
a
Treatise
,
Intituled
The
Worldlings
looking
Glasse
.
When
the
uncleane
spirit
is
gone
out
of
a
man
,
he
walketh
through
dry
places
,
seeking
rest
,
and
findeth
none
.
In
these
words
is
contained
Sathans
departure
,
and
demeanour
when
he
is
gon
.
In
his
departure
observe
these
particulars
:
1.
The
manner
|
of
his
going
out
.

2.
The
measure
of
his
going
out
.

First
,
for
the
manner
of
his
going
out
;
Sathan
will
not
depart
but
by
compulsion
;
for
he
keepes
possession
like
a
strong
armed
man
,
which
will
not
be
amooved
,
till
a
stronger
,
even
the
strength
of
Israel
come
against
him
;
he
alone
and
none
but
he
,
can

master
and
subdue
him
.
The
disciples
were
unable
to
doe
it
;
and
by
his
owne
good
will
,
he
will
never
depart
.

He
loves
his
dwelling
so
well
,
that
he
accounts
it
no
lesse
than
a
Torment
to
be
cast
out
.
And
so
envious
hee
is
to
mankinde
,
that
he
will
never
leave
him
till
hee
have
brought
him
to
destruction
;
because
he
is
greeved
that
mankinde
should
enjoy
that
happinesse
he
himselfe
hath
lost
.
Secondly
,
In
regard
of
the
curse
that
was
given
him
in
Paradise
,
that
the
seede
of
the
woman
should
bruise

his
head
.
Therefore
he
pursues
mankinde
with
deadly
hatred
and
implacable
malice
,
that
either
he
may
frustrate
the
truth
of
Gods
word
,
or
bring
mankinde
into
perpetuall
bondage
.
Yet
for
all
his
power
and
malice
,
there
is
a
time
when
he
must
be
gon
;
and
that
is
when
the
Lord
by
the
powerfull
working
of
his
Spirit
,
dispelleth
the
blindnesse
of
nature
,
and
the
sinfull
corruptions
thereof
,
out
of
the
hearts
of
his
children
,
and
doeth
inlighten
them
with
the
saving
knowledge
of
himselfe
.
This
he
doeth
,
when
by
the
ministery
of
the
Law
he
convinceth
their
consciences
of
sinne
;
and
sheweth
them
the
heynousnesse
and
fearefulnesse
thereof
,
and
then
the
grievous
punishments
due
to
them
for
the
same
;
which
are

not
onely
all
the
plagues
and
punishments
denounced
in
the
Law
,
but
also
the
eternall
torments
of
Hell
for
ever
and
ever
:
And
that
no
mortall
man
is
able
to
free
them
from
this
condition
,
no
not
all
the
world
is
able
to
make
satisfaction
for
one
soule
;
for
The
Earth
is
the
Lords
,
and
all
that
is
Psal.
24
,

,
therein
.
Nay
,
if
all
the
Angells
in
Heaven
should
offer
themselves
,
they
were
unable
to
deliver
one
soule
,
(
because
they
are
ingaged
to
God
for
their
creation
;
and
they
were
created
but
a
finit
&
temporarie
good
)
are
not
able
to
make
satisfaction
for
infinite
sinnes
committed
against
the
majesty
of
a
most
holy
and
glorious
God
.
Thus
when
the
Lord
hath
1
King
.
19.
11
,
12.
brought
his
children
to
the
gates
of
Hell
,
and
by
the
strong
winde
of
his
wrath
hath
broken
their
hearts
,
and
by
the
Earthquake
of
his
judgement
awakened
their
soules
,
and
by
the
fire
of
his
spirit
ransackt
their
consciences
,
and
by
the
ministery
of
his
word
hath
plowed
up
the
fallow
ground
of
their
hearts
,
and
by
the
terrours
of
conscience
made
them
to
despaire
of
salvation
in
respect
of
themselves
:
Then
he
makes
them
to
heare
the
still
voyce
of
his
Spirit
,
by
which
he
revealeth
to
them
his
infinit
mercy
and
free
grace
,
and
his
eternall
love
to
●hem
in
Christ
Iesus
with
all
his
me●its
;
then
he
worketh
in
their
soules
●aith
,
whereby
they
apprehend
Christ
,
●nd
rest
upon
him
alone
for
their
salvation
;
and
in
their
judgements
a
wonderfull
esteeme
of
Gods
mercies
and
Christs
merits
,
from
whence
and
by
whom
they
receive
and
obtaine
remission
of
all
their
sinnes
.
This
assurance
of
Gods
favour
,
worketh
in
their
soules
,
a
hungering
and
thirsting
after
Christ
and
his
righteousnesse
;
and
in
their
wills
,
a
constant
resolution
,
to
rest
upon
him
alone
,
for
justification
and
salvation
:
And
in
the
whole
course
of
their
lives
,
a
detestation
and
hatred
of
all
sinne
whatsoever
.
And
stirres
up
in
them
a
care
and
conscience
,
to
use
all
good
meanes
whereby
they
may
be
assured
that
they
shall
have
their
part
in
the
mercies
of
God
,
and
in
the
merits
of
Christ
.
Then
God
joyneth
them
unto
him
as
the
head
unto
the
body
,
and
then
as
soone
as
Christ
is
joyned
to
them
,
they
are
made
members
of
his
body
,
who
by
his
Spirit
reneweth
their
will
and
affections
,
and
frameth
in
them
a
spirituall
life
that
they
may
serve
him
in
holinesse
and
righteousnesse

all
the
dayes
of
their
life
.
Thus
the
Lord
by
these
meanes
casteth
this
uncleane
spirit
out
of
the
hearts
of
his
children
,
so
that
he
shall
never
totally
regaine
his
former
possession
;
for
it
is
a
certaine
Maxime
in
Philosophie
,
that
two
contraries
cannot
stand
together
at
one
time
,
in
one
and
the
same
subject
.
There
can
be
no
agreement
betweene
light
and
darkenesse
,
God
and
Belial
;
but
when
grace
comes
in
,
vice
must
goe
out
.
When
the
holy
Spirit
taketh
possession
,
the
uncleane
spirit
must
packe
away
.
So
then
from
the
truth
of
the
premisses
wee
may
conclude
:
That
Sathans
power
must
give
place

to
Christs

And
thus
we
have
confirmed
the
truth
of
the
doctrine
,
by
evidence
of
Scriptures
,
that
Sathans
power
must
give
place
to
Christs
.
The
ground
of
this
truth
is
;

For
this
very
purpose
the

of

for
the
Lord
is
stronger
than
Sathan
,
and
hath
a
better
title
to
his
children
than
he
.

Sathan
is
his
enemy
,
and
labours
to
set
up
the
kingdome
of

,
which

he
hates
;
and
to
governe
his
subjects
in
all
righteousnesse
.
3
His
honour
is
deepely
ingaged
for
the
delivery
of
his
Church
,
because
Sathan
labours
to
overthrow
his
kingdome
,
and
continually
annoyes
his
subjects
by
persecuting
Revel
,
2
,
10
,

,

,
them
,
and
corrupting
them
.
And
if
he
should
not
deliver
them
,
it
would
bee
a
great
disgrace
for
him
,
to
let
his
subjects
be
overcome
by
his
mortall
enemy
.
And
if
he
did
not
preserve
his
servants
,
he
could
not
bee
king
of
his
Church
,
nor
rule
his
subjects
in
peace
.
4
If
he
did
not
deliver
his
children
,
hee
should
want
a
people
to
call
upon
his
Name
,
for
they
cannot
serve
him
,
till
they
bee
freed
from
the
devills
power
.
Thus
also
wee
have
proved
the
truth
of
the
point
,
by
evidence
of
reasons
.
Come
wee
now
to
make
use
and
application
.
This
doctrine
is
usefull
,
and
that
in
Vse
.
a
threefold
respect
.
-
1.
For
examination
and
tryall
.
-
2.
For
comfort
and
consolation
.
-
3.
For
Terrour
.
We
will
begin
with
the
first
.
Must
Sathans
power
give
place
unto
Christ
?
then
examine
thy
heart
and
try
thy
wayes
,
whether
this
uncleane
spirit
be
cast
out
of
thee
or
no
?
Thou
must
try
it
by
the
meanes
which
God
useth
to
make
entrance
,
and
to
take
possession
of
his
children
for
his
owne
service
;
which
is
by
the
ministery
of
the
word
of
God
.
For
when
the
flesh
with
the
lusts
thereof
are
terrified
with
the
canon
shot
of
legall
threatnings
,
making
a
great
breach
into
the
heart
and
conscience
,
wounding
and
smiting
it
,
for
the
breach
of
Gods
Commandements
;
which
workes
feare
and
shame
in
the
soule
,
for
offending
so
gracious
a
God
:
and
then
by
the
Trumpet
of
the
Gospell
,
remission
of
sinnes
,
and
eternall
salvation
is
offered
to
all
that
beleeve
and
repent
;
and
when
the
humbled
soule
doth
embrace
the
grace
of
God
when
it
is
offred
;
then
this
triumphant
Captaine
maketh
his
entrance
,
and
taketh
possession
of
his
soule
for
a
Temple
for
himselfe
to
dwell
in
.
2.
We
may
try
whether
this
uncleane
spirit
bee
cast
out
of
us
,
by
the
reformation
of
our
lives
and
conversations
;
for
by
vertue
of
the
sanctification
of
the
heart
,
Gods
children
are
brought
to
a
sight
of
the
danger
of
their
naturall
estate
,
and
what
neede
they
have
of
repentance
and
of
Christ
,
and
of
inward
purging
from
their
corruptions
.
Regeneration
begins
at
repentance
,
and
repentance
begins
when
sinne
is
forsaken
;
let
every
one
of
us
then
consider
our
thoughts
and
actions
,
and
try
our
sanctification
thereby
:
consider
I
say
,
thy
thoughts
and
thy
actions
when
thou
art
alone
,
is
thy
care
then
to
meditate
upon
Gods
righteous
judgements
;
and
doest
thou
strive
with
thy selfe
,
how
thou
mayst
advance
Gods
glory
and
benefit
his
Church
?
Doest
thou
strive
by
all
meanes
,
to
cast
out
this
uncleane
spirit
out
of
thy
soule
,
whose
power
consists
in
the
corruption
of
nature
,
the
maine
pillar
whereof
is
ignorance
and
unbeleefe
?
And
dost
thou
labour
for
knowledge
and
sanctification
,
that
thereby
thou
maist
be
enabled
to
yeeld
obedience
to
all
the
commandements
of
the
Lord
,
though
they
crosse
thy
nature
,
and
curbe
thee
in
thy
profits
and
delights
;
yet
for
all
this
thou
strivest
to
walke
in
all
Gods
ordinances
without
reproofe
,
Luk
,

,
75
,
and
doest
so
walke
in
thy
calling
towards
the
world
,
as
if
Gods
eye
did
alwayes
behold
thee
,
and
were
privie
to
all
thy
actions
?
Againe
,
dost
thou
so
carry
thy selfe
with
reverence
to
the
glorious
majesty
of
God
,
in
thy
private
devotions
,
as
if
the
eye
of
man
did
alwayes
behold
thee
?
Doest
thou
labour
also
to
subvert
the
kingdome
of
Sathan
in
others
?
If
thou
bee
a
private
man
,
in
love
and
Charity
,
by
exhortation
to
moove
to
good
workes
,
shewing
thy selfe

in
obedience
to

a

If
thou
bee
a
Magistrate
,
to
restraine
from

by
the
power
of
the
sword
:
If
a
Minister
,
to
allure
to
vertue
,
by
the
power
of
the
word
,
and
unblamable
conversation
.
Art
thou
troubled
and
greeved
in
thy
minde
,
when
thou
meetest
with
hinderances
and
lets
,
whereby
thou
canst
not
serve
God
,
in
such
manner
as
thou
wouldest
?
And
dost
thou
carefully
redeeme
the
time
for
thy
soules
good
?
Is
it
a
vexation
&
greefe
for
thee
to
live
among
such
people
as
have
not
the
feare
of
God
before
their
eyes
,
and
are
carelesse
to
use
those
meanes
wch
God
hath
appointed
for
their
salvation
?
If
at
any
time
thou
hast
fallen
into
some
scandalous
sinne
,
how
stands
the
case
betweene
God
and
thy
soule
,
dost
thou
extenuate
or
defend
thy
faults
,
and
so
justify
thy selfe
in
thy
transgression
?
or
,
on
the
contrary
,
canst
thou
not
be
quiet
and
at
rest
,
till
thou
hast
humbled
thy selfe
before
God
,
and
craved
pardon
for
thy
sinnes
?
And
then
canst
thou
more
comfortably
rejoyce
in
the
favour
of
God
,
than
in
any
earthly
blessing
whatsoever
?
Then
if
thou
canst
finde
these
or
the
like
markes
of
salvation
in
thy
soule
;
then
I
pronounce
unto
thee
out
of
the
word
of
God
,
that
this
uncleane
spirit
is
gone
out
of
thee
.
For
if
hee

thee

he
would
not
suffer
thee
to
take
notice
of
thy

sinnes

rather
to
justifie
thy selfe
in
thy
transgressions

Hee
would
not
have
thee
question
thy
want
of
faith

inward
pride
,
malice

covetousnesse
,
or
foolish
speaking
,
conforming
thy selfe

These
with

other
sinnes
he
would
not
have
thee
take
notice
of
,
by
which
thou
maist
conclude
that
God
in
mercy
hath
freed
thee
from
the
bondage
of
this
Tyrant

Hath
Christ
by
the
powerfull
worke

cast

Thus
wee
see
the
miserable
estate
of
all
those
which
are
under
Sathans
bondage
;
how
miserable
they
are
in
this
life
,
and
how
miserable
they
shall
be
in
the
world
to
come
.
But
alasse
,
how
may
wee
lament
the
desperate
estate
of
many
in
our
age
,
who
though
they
remaine
in
so
fearefull
an
estate
,
yet
they
are
unwilling
to
come
out
of
it
.
Tell
the
drunkard
that
this
uncleane
spirit
must
bee
cast
out
of
him
,
else
hee
shall
not
inherit
the
kingdome
of
God
;
and
hee
will
for
your
paines
give
you
a
squib
,
or
,
watch
opportunity
to
doe
you
a
mischiefe
.
Tell
the
Prophaner
of
the
Lords
Sabbath
,
and
the
filthy
livers
of
our
time
,
that
this
uncleane
spirit
must
be
cast
out
of
them
,
and
you
shall
heare
them
roare
like
the
divell
in
the
Gospell
,
that
they
will
not
be
tormented
before
their
time
.
Oh!
what
a
lamentation
may
we
take
up
for
the
desperate
sinnes
of
our
time
,
which
furiously
march
to
hell
under
Sathans
colours
,
and
will
not
be
reclaymed
?
God
hath
offered
them
the
meanes
,
and
hath
shewed
them
the
way
how
they
may
be
freed
from
this
fearefull
bondage
,
and
yet
they
will
not
,
but
had
rather
be
Sathans
vassalls
in
the
Egypt
of
sin
,
than
the
Lords
freemen
in
the
land
of
Canaan
:
The
servant
under
the
Law
,
that
would
not
bee
free
from
his
masters
service
when
he
might
,
was
to
have
his
eare
boared
through
with
an
aule
,
and
so
to
bee
made
a
servant
for
ever
.
So
it
is
just
with
God
,
to
let
such
willing
and
carelesse
men
to
be
slaves
to
Sathan
for
ever
.
Question
.
But
may
some
say
,
if
their
state
be
so
miserable
,
how
comes
it
to
passe
,
that
they
doe
not
see
and
feele
their
miserable
condition
?
Answer
.
Sathan
blindes
their
eyes
with
the
pleasures
and
profits
of
sinne
(
which
are
very
agreeable
to
their
nature
)
that
they
never
consider
of
their
miserable
condition
,
and
so
at
last
the
Custome
of
sinne
takes
away
the

feeling
of
sinne
.
Againe
,
they
were
never
sensible
of
any
better
estate
,
and
therefore
no
marvaile
if
Sathan
hoodwinkes
them
to
their
destruction
.
Let
the
consideration
here
of
moove
all
men
to
labour
in
time
to
see
their
miserable
condition
,
and
to
repent
,
least
they
bee
plunged
under
Gods
judgements
,
before
they
are
aware
.
Spare
no
paines
then
and
give
no
rest
unto
thy
soule
,
untill
thou
art
assured
that
thou
art
freed
out
of
this
miserable
condition
;
Ply
Christ
with
thy
prayers
,
and
take
no
nay
at

crying
for

upon

Lord
,
I
am
a
sinfull
creature
,
and
thou
art
a
God
of
infinite
puritie
and
holinesse
.
Sinne
hath
left
me
no
good
thing
,
all
is
wounded
,
all
is
poysoned
;
how
shall
I
appeare
before
thee
,
whose
glory
the
Angels
cannot
behold
?
I
was
conceived
in
sinne
,
borne
in
sinne
,
and
all
my
daies
have
lived
in
sinne
.
My
heart
is
a
seed-plot
of
sinne
and
corruption
;
my
eyes
the
windowes
of
vanity
,
my
eares
the
eares
of
folly
,
my
mouth
the
mouth
of
deceipt
,
my
hands
the
hands
of
iniquity
;
and
every
part
of
my
body
,
and
faculty
of
my
soule
,
which
thou
hast
created
for
thy
service
,
hath
dishonoured
thee
.
My
understanding
apprehendeth
nothing
but
sinne
,
my
will
delighteth
in
nothing
but
wickednesse
,
my
memory
retaines
nothing
but
evill
things
which
dishonours
thee
.
As
for
thy
holy
precepts
and
heavenly
ordinances
,
I
have
not
observed
;
but
have
prophaned
thy
Sabbaths
,
contemned
thy
Sacraments
,
and
lived
in
contempt
of
thy
providence
all
my
dayes
;
I
have
beene
so
farre
from
keeping
any
part
of
thy
law
,
that
I
have
added
transgression
unto
blindnesse
,
malice
to
ignorance
,
and
rebellion
to
sinne
.
And
because
thou
hast
spared
mee
,
and
wayted
for
my
repentance
,
and
hast
suffered
me
with
such
patience
,
to
run
on
in
my
sinnes
,
and
because
thou
hast
beene
so
mercifull
unto
me
,
and
multiplyed
thy
favours
towards
mee
;
I
have
tooke
liberty
to
my selfe
to
commit
great
sinnes
against
thee
;
so
that
the
same
medicine
which
thou
hast
appointed
to
purge
out
my
sinnes
,
I
have
made
a
provocation
unto
sinne
.
Yet
Lord
for
thy
names
sake
,
thy
mercy
sake
,
thy
truths
sake
,
take
away
all
mine
iniquities
,
and
magnifie
thy
mercy
,
in
the
pardoning
of
my
sinnes
which
I
have
committed
against
thee
,
mine
owne
knowledge
,
and
many
motions
of
thy
Spirit
,
and
purposes
of
my
heart
.
I
doe
acknowledge
I
have
beene
dull
and
unprofitable
in
thy
service
;
I
have
not
had
care
and
zeale
which
I
should
have
had
to
serve
thee
;
I
have
beene
weary
of
well
doing
,
and
have
not
taken
to
heart
my
misery
as
I
should
,
nor
mourned
for
my
transgressions
against
thee
my
God
,
as
becommeth
such
a
notorious
offender
as
I
am
;
but
have
hardned
my
heart
against
thy
judgements
,
and
have
walked
stubbornly
before
thee
,
in
the
light
of
thy
countenance
.
Psal.
90.
But
though
I
am
full
of
wickednesse
,
yet
thou
art
full
of
goodnesse
.
Lord
,
thou
madest
me
at
the
first
of
nothing
,
save
mee
now
I
pray
thee
,
which
am
worse
than
nothing
.
It
is
thou
(
O
Lord
)
which
knowest
my
heart
,
and
it
must
bee
thou
which
must
renew
and
change
it
.
Take
it
therefore
into
thy
owne
hand
,
and
take
from
it
the
hardnesse
,
deadnes
,
and
dulnesse
,
which
the
custome
of
sinne
hath
brought
upon
it
;
and
frame
it
according
to
thy
owne
liking
;
cast
out
of
it
all
the
cursed
fruits
of
the
flesh
which
fight
against
thy
grace
and
my
soule
.
Enlarge
my
understanding
,
and
encrease
my
knowledge
,
that
being
guided
by
thy
wisedome
and
assisted
by
thy
Spirit
,
I
may
understand
and
perceive
those
things
which
may
please
thee
;
and
refraine
those
things
which
may
dishonour
thee
;
that
so
being
directed
by
thy
grace
,
and
guided
by
thy
Spirit
,
I
may
clearely
see
what
thou
requirest
of
mee
▪
and
what
may
make
for
my
peace
and
future
happinesse
.
Lord
,
this
must
bee
thy
worke
,
for
I
confesse
that
my
reason
is
blinde
,
my
will
is
froward
,
my
wit
is
crafty
,
ready
to
deceive
me
,
my
understanding
,
is
quite
estranged
from
thee
;
but
Lord
dispell
these
clowds
of
errour
and
ignorance
,
and
rectifie
the
perversnesse
of
my
understanding
,
and
indue
me
with
thy
holy
Spirit
of
grace
and
wisedome
,
that
my
soule
may
be
cleansed
from
the
corruption
of
this
sinfull
world
,
and
the
eyes
of
my
understanding
opened
to
embrace
the
mystery
of
redemption
by
Iesus
Christ
.
Make
thy
word
unto
me
like
the
starre
which
led
the
wisemen
to
my
Saviour
in
the
time
of
his
infancy
;
make
thy
benefits
and
graces
like
the
Pillar
which
conducted
thy
people
to
the
land
of
promise
.
Kindle
thy
love
in
my
heart
,
that
in
respect
of
thee
and
thy
service
,
I
may
despise
whatsoever
is
against
thee
and
thy
truth
.
Confirme
my
faith
in
thy
promises
,
that
by
thy
Spirit
I
may
be
assured
that
thou
hast
forgiven
my
sinnes
,
and
that
thou
wilt
not
reject
me
a
poore
sinner
,
that
relyeth
wholly
upon
thee
.
Lord
,
thou
desirest
not
the
death
of
a
sinner
,
but
hast
promised
that
if
I
repent
thou
wilt
bee
pleased
;
thou
onely
canst
raise
me
out
of
the
grave
of
sinne
,
for
I
am
dead
and
buried
in
trespasses
and
sinnes
,
quicken
mee
by
thy
grace
,
that
I
may
praise
thy
name
.
Let
mee
not
want
any
mercy
,
whereby
I
may
be
fitted
for
thy
service
,
and
so
dispose
and
guide
the
remainder
of
my
life
,
in
such
manner
as
that
thou
mayest
bee
honoured
,
and
my
soule
comforted
;
which
grant
unto
me
for
the
Lord
Iesus
Christs
sake
,
my
blessed
Saviour
and
Redeemer
,
Amen
.
Thus
wee
have
proved
the
truth
●f
the
proposition
,
that
Sathans
●ower
must
give
place
unto
Christ
.
We
have
also
confirmed
it
by
Scrip●ure
,
proved
it
by
reasons
,
and
have
made
use
and
application
of
it
to
our selves
.
In
the
next
place
wee
are
to
examine
the
measure
of
his
going
out
.
Sathan
is
so
expelled
out
of
the
godly
,
as
that
hee
shall
never
returne
againe
.
But
he
goeth
out
of
hypocrites
so
,
as
that
he
still
remaineth
.
For
if
hee
were
once
reallie
cast
out
,
(
as
wee
have
heard
,
)
he
could
never
returne
againe
.
But
this
speech
of
going
out
,
is
rather
a
forme
of
speaking
,
than
a
reall
action
.
This
phrase
of
speech
is
used
with
other
of
like
signification
,
as
Heb.

If

the
good
word
of
God
and
of
the
power
of
the
world
to
come
,
if
they
fall
away
,
to
renew
them
by
repentance
.
Then
from
hence
I
reason
thus
.
If
a
man
may
receive
the
truth
and
yet
sinne
willingly
,
and
then
forsake
the
truth
;
be
inlightned
and
tast
of
the
heavenly
gift
,
and
be
made
partakers
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
yet
fall
away
:
then
by
the
same
reason
Sathan
may
bee
said
to
goe
out
of
a
man
,
and
yet
still
remaine
in
him
.
Therefore
wheresoever
we
finde
such
phrases
of
Scripture
,
as
these
of
Sathans
going
out
,
or
of
being
made
partaker
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
yet
by
the
sequell
of
the
words
,
wee
reade
of
their
Apostacie
and
falling
away
,
we
must
not
thinke
that
such
men
,
were
ever
effectually
called
,
and
indued
with
the
Spirit
of
God
,
but
that
the
Lord
would
have
us
take
notice
of
the
riches
of
his
mer●
offered
unto
hypocrites
in
the
out●ard
meanes
of
salvation
,
as
the
●ord
and
Sacraments
for
the
casting
●t
of
Sathan
out
of
them
.
And
also
●e
may
see
what
a
desperate
judge●ent
they
bring
upon
themselves
,
●hich
neglect
and
contemne
the
●eanes
God
offers
for
their
delivery
;

this

then
they

This
uncleane
spirit
may
bee
sayd

farre
to
goe
out
of
a
man

as

to

That
the
spirit
of

may
seeme

this

Se●
this
in

,
he
amended
many
things
,
at
the
Preaching
of
Iohn
,
and
this
uncleane
spirit
seemed
to
begon
out
,
in
regard
of
outward
reformation
;
for●
when
an
hypocrite
hath
understanding
of

,
hee
may
acknowledge
the
truth
,
as
Balaam
did
;
and
leave
his

as
Simon

hee

and
this
●ncleane

may
keepe

for
an

,
rather
than
leave
it
,
as
may
be
seene
by
the
love
which

bare
to

An
hypocrite
will
cleave
unto
Christ
so
farre
as
the

will

him
,
and
if
hee
may
share
with
him
in
his

,
and
not
bee
hindred
in
his
profits

pleasures
;
but
●f
he
must
part
with
them
,
this
is
so
hard
a
saying
,
that
they
cannot
abide
●t
.
By
which
we
may
see
,
that
their
obedience
,
is
but
for
feare
of

and
their
understanding

inlightned

not

Now
so

so

So
farre
this
uncleane
spirit
i●
gon
out
of
an
hypocrite
,
as
he
hath
received
some
sparckles
of
conversion
For
by

hee

behold
the
kingdome

Christ
to
be

and
in

of

.
This
made
the

thinke
,
that

that

This
also

death

Num.
23
,
10.
the
righteous
,
and
that
his
last
end
might
be
like
theirs
.
Now
what
may
bee
the
reason
of
this
that
hypocrites
are
so
ravished
with
the
apprehension
of
future
glory
,
and
happinesse
▪
Surely
this
;
they
perceive
,
that
Gods
kingdome
is
full
of
happinesse
,
and
they
see
a
possibility
of
obtaining
this
happinesse
for
themselves
;
for
they
have
tasted
of
the
heavenly
gifts
floting
in
their
braines
,
which
makes
them
imbrace
the
Gospell
,
and
to
doe
many
things
that
they
are
commanded
;
therefore
they
hope
they
shall
be
saved
.
On
the
contrary
,
they
see
this
sinfull
world
to
bee
full
of
trouble
and
vexation
,
and
they
feare
that
there
will
bee
great
bitternesse
in
death
.
Therefore
hearing
of
a
full
deliverance
by
Christ
from
these
dangers
,
they
are
content
to
yeeld
obedience
to
the
Word
;
but
yet
for
want
of
the
Ioh.
5
,
34
,
sappe
of
grace
,
this
abides
with
them
but
for
a
season
.
And
so
for
all
their
outward
conformity
,
they
may
bee
rotten
and
unsound
.
For
they
doe
not
love
the
truth
,
for
the
truths
sake
,
but
for
some
private
ends
;
as
to
gaine
estimation
of
men
,
and
to
be
accounted
good
Common
wealths
men
,
and
so
thought
fit
to
live
in
a
societie
.
As
for
their
desire
after
the
Word
,
it
is
either
with
Eve
to
get
knowledge
,
or
with
Simon
Magus
to
make
gaine
of
it
,
or
with
the
Pharisees
to
get
a
name
by
it
;
for
they
discover
themselves
in
the
time
of
temptation
,
and
are
either
allured
with
the
baits
of
prosperity
,
or
pinched
with
crosses
and
afflictions
;
so
that
at
last
,
they
fall
away
and
become
Apostates
from
the
faith
.
4.
This
uncleane
spirit
is
so
farre
gone
out
of
a
man
,
as
he
lies
hid
and
covered
;
Hee
may
keepe
his
hold
,
though
he
doe
not
shew
himselfe
in
hostile
manner
;
he
can
transforme
himselfe
into
an
Angell
of
light
,
and
will
make
a
shew
of
holinesse
,
that
he
may
doe
the
more
wickednesse
;
he
cares
not
though
Abimelech
entertayne
Abraham
and
give
him
the
best
of
his
land
,
if
he
can
but
make
him
to
commit
adultery
with
his
wife
.
Hee
cares
not
though
Iudas
become
a
Disciple
and
a
professor
of
Christ
,
if
he
can
fill
his
heart
with
covetousnesse
to
betray
his
Master
.
Hee
cares
not
though
Annanias
and
Saphirah
sell
their
goods
for
the
Churches
good
,
if
he
can
make
them
lye
and
dissemble
.
Hee
cares
not
though
many
of
us
come
to
Church
to
heare
Gods
word
,
if
hee
can
make
our
mindes
wander
after
our
profits
and
pleasures
,
then
hee
knowes
he
can
wrap
us
under
the
curse
of
the
Lord
,
in
doing
his
worke
negligently
.
Hee
will
be
content
to
bee
expelled
out
of
an
ignorant
heart
,
if
so
be
he
can
corrupt
his
knowledge
with
faction
and
Schisme
.
He
can
be
content
to
bee
cast
out
in
one
sinne
,
if
he
can
be
entertained
in
another
.
He
cares
not
if
he
be
cast
out
of
an
Idolatrous
heart
,
if
he
can
keepe
possession
by
prophane
Atheisme
,
then
he
hath
as
much
as
he
desires
.
And
by
this
one
sin
he
markes
them
for
his
owne
.

This
uncleane
spirit
may
be
cast
out
in
the
opinion
of
the
partie
in
whom
he
dwells
,
and
not
in
the
worlds
account
;
for
every
man
is
ready
to
deceive
himselfe
in
this
particuler
,
seeming
pure
in
his
owne
eyes
,
though
he
be
not
washed
from
his
filthinesse
.
Pro.

Let
us
see
how
nature
occasions
this
deceipt
,
and
how
many
delude
themselves
,
in
thinking
they
are
some
Gal.

,
3
,
body
,
when
as
indeede
they
are
no
body
.
1.
Deceipt
is
to
make
a
man
thinke
he
is
a
good
Christian
,
because
hee
leades
a
civill
life
,
and
is
just
and
upright
in
his
dealings
.
This
is
indeede
an
excellent
vertue
in
it selfe
,
and
a
good
step
to
Christianity
,
and
it
were
to
be
wished
,
that
all
Gods
Children
would
be
carefull
to
walke
unblameably
in
respect
of
the
world
.
But
yet
for
all
this
,
this
Commendable
vertue
is
made
evill
by
accident
,
&
so
becomes
a
dangerous
outward
meanes
to
exclude
grace
.
For
civill
honesty
,
if
it
be
severed
from
true
piety
,
is
nothing
else
but
glorious
iniquitie
.
For
the
ornament
thereof
is
,
to
rest
in
the
performance
of
outward
actions
,
as
to
deale
justly
and
uprightly
with
their
neighbours
,
and
to
be
free
from
the
reproachfull
crimes
of
the
world
;
Now
here
they
rest
and
thinke
themselves
good
Christians
,
though
all
this
while
they
bee
ignorant
of
the
true
God
,
and
the
grounds
of
his
worship
.
And
in
their
honest
dealing
with
men
they
ayme
not
at
Gods
glory
,
that
by
their
unblameable
conversation
his
name
may
be
magnified
;
yet
for
all
this
,
because
the
world
cannot
condemne
them
,
they
rest
contented
with
a
probable
errour
of
being
in
the
state
of
grace
;
and
the
rather
because
they
know
that
if
they
should
step
forwards
in
religion
,
and
labour
for
inward
sanctification
,
they
should
not
onely
stirre
up
against
themselves
many
thundring
stormes
and
the
contemptuous
Censures
of
this
spitefull
world
,
but
also
from
the
bottome
of
hell
,
many
disturbances
and
fearefull
temptations
;
therefore
Sathan
labours
to
keepe
them
in
this
estate
,
and
perswades
them
,
that
this
civill
righteousnesse
will
carry
them
to
heaven
;
and
that
God
will
exact
this
precise
and
strict
obedience
at
the
hands
of
the
Preachers
and
those
which
are
better
learned
than
themselves
.
But
these
men
must
know
,
that
though
their
workes
make
a
glorious
shew
in
the
sight
of
men
,
yet
they
are
odious
in
Gods
sight
,
if
they
bee
not
done
in
obedience
to
his
Commandements
,
and
in
zeale
for
his
glory
.
2.
Men
will
not
be
perswaded
they
are
so
bad
,
as
indeed
they
are
.
Will
you
see
how
this
deceipt
is
also
occasioned
?
It
is
,
because
they
compare
themselves
with
those
that
are
Sathans
outragious
revellers
,
whom
they
doe
excell
in
regard
of
their
civill
moderation
and
morall
cariage
:
now
finding
themselves
in
a
better
condition
,
they
are
in
their
owne
opinions
Canonized
Saints
,
and
so
neede
no
reformation
.
Thus
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
the
proud
man
will
not
be
perswaded
,
that
hee
hath
a
filthy
Lucifer
in
him
.
The
covetous
man
will
not
be
perswaded
that
Mammon
rules
in
him
.
The
fornicator
and
Adulterer
will
not
be
perswaded
that
Asmodeus
a
filthy
and
uncleane
spirit
reignes
in
him
:
The
envious
man
will
not
be
perswaded
that
Beelzebub
an
irefull
divell
governes
him
.
The
contentious
man
he
will
not
beleeve
,
that
Baalberith
a
troublesome
Divell
is
in
him
.
The
drunkard
hee
will
not
beleeve
that
Beelphegor
a
beastly
Divell
domineers
in
him
.
The
idle
person
,
he
doth
not
thinke
that
Astaroth
a
lazie
Divell
is
in
him
.
Thus
all
men
are
ready
to
deceive
themselves
;
but
we
must
know
that
where
the
workes
Vbi
opera
●bi
operans
.
are
,
the
workemaister
is
at
hand
.
And
though
the
world
cannot
detect
them
for
their
sinnes
;
yet
the
Allseeing
God
is
privie
to
their
corruptions
.
The
Scribes
and
Pharisees
were
just
and
upright
men
to
the
world
,
in
regard
of
their
austere
life
and
strict
observations
,
but
yet
our
Saviour
tells
his
Disciples
,
and
in
them
us
;
That

your
righteousnesse

.
These
men
were
carefull
to
abstaine
from
such
sinnes
,
as
the
world
takes
notice
of
;
but
the
Lord

them
of

So
he
knowes
these
Iusticiaries
well
enough
,
and
though
they
bee
not
Papists
in

,

for
all
their
civill
honesty
,
Sathan
sees
them
make
little
conscience
of
prophaning
the
Sabboth
;
swearing
by
their
faith
or
troth
,
Masse
,
or
our
Ladie
.
Now
,
because
they
count
these
small
sinnes
,
the
devill
holds
them
fast
enough
as
his
vessales
and
slaves
.

Many
men
deceive
themselves
,
because
upon
some
good
motions
of
Gods
Spirit
,
by
the
powerfull
ministerie
of
the
Word
,
their
consciences
are
awaked
,
and
they
brought
to
a
sight
of
their
sinnes
,
so
that
they
begin
to
hate
those
sinnes
they
delighted
in
,
and
to
performe
some
holy
duties
,
and
so
now
they
thinke
that
this
uncleane
spirit
is
gone
out
of
them
:
but
for
want
of
watchfulnesse
,
he
comes
againe
,
and
allures
them
to
the
committing
of
one
sinne
or
other
,
or
else
by
covetousnesse
sets
them
as
deepe
in
their
gainefull
sinne
of
Vsury
,
deceipt
,
gaming
and
the
like
,
as
ever
they
were
;
so
with
Iudas
they
receive
the
soppe
,
and
the
Divell
againe
;
and
so
their
former
righteousnesse
,
is
but
a
morning
dew
,
and
their
unrighteousnesse
by
little
and
little
returnes
againe
,
and
they
become
as
disordered
in
their
courses
,
and
as
sinfull
in
their
practices
as
ever
they
were
.
6.
This
uncleane
spirit
,
may
seeme
to
bee
cast
out
in
the
opinion
of
the
godly
,
and
not
of
the
partie
himselfe
.
Thus
the
Disciples
had
a
good
opinion
of
Iudas
,
because
of
his
outward
conformity
to
the
word
,
and
because
Christ
had
put
him
in
trust
with
the
bagge
:
therefore
when
our
Saviour
told
them
,
that
one
of
them
should
betray
him
,
they
suspected
themselves
rather
than
Iudas
,
and
yet
all
this
while
Christ
knew
he
would
prove
a
Traitor
to
him
,
and
a
butcher
to
himselfe
,
and
Iudas
himselfe
knew
that
he
had
a
covetous
,
envious
divel
within
him
.
Thus
we
have
seene
how
farre
an
hypocrite
may
go
by
natures
light
,
and
how
they
may
attaine
to
much
knowledge
,
and
so
may
shine
in
outward
profession
;
and
yet
for
all
this
gallop
to
hell
under
Sathans
colours
.
And
though
they
are
well
perswaded
of
their
owne
estate
,
yet
Gods
Word
doth
discover
,
that
they
are
miserable
,
and
are
hoodwinked
of
Sathan
to
their
owne
destruction
;
Because
by
the
shining
lampe
of
outward
profession
,
and
standing
upon
the
goodnesse
of
their
nature
,
and
their
correspondencie
with
the
world
,
they
deprive
themselves
,
of
the
benefit
of
godly
admonition
,
which
is
a
notable
meanes
ordayned
of
God
to
reclayme
many
desperate
sinners
,
from
their
sinfull
courses
,
and
to
bring
them
home
by
repentance
.
Now
because
they
post
off
this
to
others
which
are
more
scandalous
to
the
world
,
and
so
doe
not
feele
that
they
stand
in
neede
of
Christ
to
purge
them
from
their
sinnes
;
therefore
they
remaine
strangers
from
the
covenant
of
Ephe.

,

,
promise
,
and
without
God
in
the
world
.
And
thus
wee
have
seene
the
measure
of
Sathans
going
out
of
an
hypocrite
;
he
so
seemes
to
goe
,
as
that
he
alwayes
continewes
.
We
are
now
to
consider
of
his
demeanour
when
he
is
gone
,
contayned
in
these
words
,
He
walketh
through
dry
places
,
seeking
rest
,
and
findeth
none
.
In
which
words
observe
:
-
1.
His
labour
,
he
walkes
.
-
2.
His
station
,
in
dry
places
.
-
3.
The
end
of
his
walking
,
he
seekes
rest
.
-
4.
The
issue
or
event
,
he
finds
none
.
He
walketh
through
dry
places
,
&c.
We
will
first
indeavour
to
free
the
words
from
obscurity
,
and
then
draw
such
conclusions
as
may
be
profitable
for
our
edification
.
He
walketh
.
This
word
is
a
metaphor
or
borrowed
speech
taken
from
Travellers
,
who
out
of
a
desire
they
have
to
come
to
their
journeyes
end
,
put
forth
all
their
strength
to
the
end
they
may
the
more
speedily
obtaine
their
desires
.
And
this
speech
being
applyed
to
other
actions
,
noteth
celerity
and
continuance
of
that
thing
unto
which
it
is
applyed
.
Which
speech
being
applyed
unto
Sathan
,
noteth
his
restlesse
diligence
;
hee

goe
drowsily
or
sleepily
,
but
couragiously
and
constantly
,
for
so
much
the
word
walketh
importeth
.
He
walketh
through
dry
places
,
is
also
a
metaphor
taken
from
dry
ground
which
for
want
of
moysture
cannot
bring
forth
fruit
;
so
that
by
dry
places
,
as
afterwards
shall
appeare
,
is
meant
the
hearts
of
Gods
children
;
his
banishment
from
them
is
as
uncomfortable
to
him
,
as
a
drye
wildernesse
is
to
a
thirstie
Traveller
seeking
rest
.
What
rest
doth
he
seeke
,
Sathan
seeke
?
Doth
he
seeke
to
be
reconciled
unto
God
?
No.
Would
hee
bee
reconciled
unto
man
whom
hee
hath
so
much
wronged
?
No.
What
rest
doth
hee
then
seeke
?
Surely
this
,
to
doe
all
the
mischeefe
he
can
doe
to
mankinde
,
to
deface
Gods
Image
in
our
soules
,
and
to
wrap
all
mankinde
under
the
curse
of
God
.
The
hearts
of
Gods
children
which
are
watred
with
faith
and
repentance
,
whereby
he
is
excluded
with
all
his
temptations
,
are
sayd
to
be
dry
places
because
they
yeeld
him
no
moysture
,
whereby
hee
may
set
his
temptations
a
working
;
so
that
when
he
cannot
hurt
us
in
our
soules
,
then
he
labours
by
all
meanes
to
plague
us
in
our
bodies
.
If
he
cannot
mischeefe
us
in
our
bodies
,
then
he
labours
to
hurt
us
in
our
states
;
and
if
hee
cannot
hurt
us
in
our
substance
,
then
he
will
vex
us
in
our
good
names
and
reputations
;
and
cast
out
floods
of
reproaches
against
us
;
and
if
he
cannot
prevaile
against
us
herein
,
then
hee
will
destroy
the
fruits
of
the
earth
,
fish
in
the
Sea
;
and
if
he
cannot
hurt
us
in
them
,
then
hee
will
corrupt
and
infect
the
ayre
,
that
thereby
hee
may
infect
our
bodies
with
noysome
diseases
;
and
if
God
will
not
give
him
leave
to
annoy
us
in
these
or
the
like
,
then
hee
is
sayd
to
walke
in
dry
places
,
for
he
accounts
all
those
places
dry
and
uncomfortable
to
him
,
in
which
he
can
doe
no
mischeefe
.

have

of

,
seeking
whom
he
may
devoure
.
Hee
goes
not
about
as
a
king
in
Progresse
for
delight
;
but
his
going
about
is
to
devoure
.
Hee
is
no
idle
spectator
,
but
a
diligent
tempter
;
he
is
one
that
will
never
be
weary
,
for
hee
will
never
give
over
his
temptations
,
till
there
bee
an
end
of
time
.
He
began
earely
,
as
soone
as
our
first
Parents
were
created
;
he
set
upon
them
,
and
rested
not
till
they
were
turned
out
of
Paradise
,
and
wrapped
under
the
curse
of
God
.
Yet
for
all
this
he
was
not
content
,
but
as
soone
as
Adam
had
two
sonnes
,
by
whom
mankinde
might
be
increased
,
he
laboured
to
destroy
the
body
of
one
of
them
,
and
the
soule
of
the
other
.
Therefore
he
filled
Caines
heart
with
envie
,
and
made
him
kill
his
innocent
brother
.
And
then
the
first
age
of
the

world
,
hee
so
corrupted
and
filled
with
iniquitie
,
which
did
so
provoke
the
Lord
,
that
he
drowned
all
the
world
.
And
after
the
world
was
to
be
repayed
by
Noah
and
his
Family
,
presently
he
filled
it
with
Idolatry
;
Gen.

,
and
ever
since
hee
hath
shewed
himselfe
an
enemy
that
is
never
wearied
with
toyling
,
nor
weakned
with
watching
,
but
at
all
occasions
is
plyant
and
watchfull
,
and
labours
by
all
meanes
to
molest
the
godly
,
and
make
himselfe
sure
of
the
wicked
.
His
hand
like
Ismaels
is
against
every
man
,
but
especially
against
the
godly
.
Hee
beguiled
Evah
in
the
likenesse
of
a
Gen.
3
,
Serpent
,
and
deceived
Saul
in
Samuels
mantle
.
He
is
very
forward
to
offer
his
service
;
if

Who
shall

Hee
is
at

and
sayes
,
Send

;
for
now
still
he
is
at
hand
to
tempt
all
men
.
He
puts
into
our
hearts
evill
thoughts
into
our
mouths
lewde
speeches
,
into
our
members
sinfull
actions
.
When
we
are
awake
,
hee
stirreth
us
up
to
unlawfull
deedes
;
and
when
wee
are
asleepe
,
hee
stirreth
up
in
us
filthy
dreames
.
If
wee
be
merry
,
then
hee
maketh
us
wanton
;
if
sad
and
melancholy
,
then
he
labours
to
bring
us
to
despaire
.
Hee
tempts
all
men
and
in
all
places
;
and
by
outward
objects
he
stirrs
up
inward
corruptions
.
Hee
tempted
our
Saviour
Christ
presently
after
his
Baptisme
;
he
was
not
affraid
of
the
holinesse
of
his
person
,
though
hee
were
proclaymed
from
heaven
to
be
the
Sonne
of
God
.
Hee
tempted
David
,
a
man
after
Gods
owne
heart
,
to
number
the
people
;
Peter
to
deny
and
forsweare
his
Master
.
Neither
the
holinesse
of
the
place
nor
action
can
hinder
his
temptation
.
He
set
upon
Iudas
,
in
the
presence
of
his
Master

and
is
alwayes
at
hand
to
hinder

Let

will
presently
be
at

to

When
Ioshua
the
high
Priest
began
to
pray
,
Sathan
stood
Zach.
3
,
1
,
at
his
right
hand
to
resist
him
.
If
he
cannot
hinder
us
in
the
performance
of
holy
duties
,
then
he
labours
to
makes
us
overweene
our selves
,
and
to
be
proud
of
those
things
which
are
none
of
our
owne
;
&
if
he
cannot
overcome
us
by
his
owne
vices
,
he
labours
to
insnare
us
by
our
vertues
;
therefore
he
fills
our
hearts
with
boasting
,
that
thereby
we
might
be
arrogant
in
our
owne
eyes
.
Hee
perswades
the
Minister
not
to
preach
,
because
the
people
doe
not
regard
him
nor
his
doctrine
;
&
if
he
cannot
disswade
him
from
preaching
,
then
he
will
perswade
him
to
preach
pleasing
things
,
that
thereby
he
may
be
admired
for
his
gifts
&
learning
.
Then
he
comes
to
the
people
,
&
perswads
them
not
to
heare
;
and
tells
them
the
Preacher
either
is
no
Scholler
,
or
else
hee
vents
his
owne
fancies
,
and
layes
open
their
sinnes
out
of
envie
,
to
disgrace
them
;
and
if
he
cannot
hinder
them
from
hearing
,
then
hee
steales
away
their
hearts
,
and
fills
their
mind
with
wandering
thoughts
;
he
compasses
their
eyes
with
shewes
,
their
eares
with
sounds
,
their
sences
with
sleepe
,
their
thoughts
with
fancies
;
and
all
to
make
them
forget
what
they
heare
,
and
so
to
wrap
them
under
the
curse
of
the
Lord
,
doing
his
work
negligently
.
Hee
labours
to
discourage
men
from
the
practise
of
pietie
,
by
perswading
them
that
to
be
too
strict
in
their
life
,
savours
too
much
of
singularity
.
If
he
meete
with
prophane
wicked
men
,
as
drunkards
,
swearers
and
fornicatours
,
he
tempts
them
to
the
contempt
of
God
and
his
worship
,
and
to
defend
their
gracelesse
courses
,
and
to
glory
in
their
sins
,
Phil.

,
which
should
be
their
shame
.
Hee
makes
those
which
have
cast
off
the
feare
of
the
Almighty
,
to
scorne
and
despise
the
Spirit
of
grace
,
in
the
Children
of
God
,
and
to
become
his
Standard-bearers
,
to
march
furiously
against
the
Majestie
of
God
,
to
their
owne
destruction
,
by
discouraging
and
disgracing
,
vexing
and
perplexing
his
children
,
whom
he
meanes
to
honour
.
Sathan
is
a
cunning
Merchant
and
a
crafty
Sophister
,
hee
knowes
how
to
use
riches
and
poverty
,
sicknesse
and
health
,
and
make
them
instruments
to
serve
his
purpose
.
Hee
is
continually
in
motion
,
and
hath
all
those
which
are
without
Christ
,
at
his
becke
and
command
,
to
take
up
armes
against
their
Saviour
,
either
by
ignorance
,
not
knowing
him
,
or
by
a
negligent
life
not
following
him
,
or
by
violence
resisting
him
.
He
walkes
any
way
to
destroy
;
he
tempts
the
godly
to
destroy
them
,
and
the
wicked
that
they
may
tempt
others
.
If
Ionah
will
runne
away
from
his
God
,
he
shall
not
want
a
ship
to
carry
him
to
Tarshish
.
The
Tyrant
shall
not
want
a
flatterer
,
the
Theefe
a
receiver
,
the
wanton
a
minion
.
He
hath
a
sack
full
of
oathes
for
the
swearer
,
a
budget
full
of
lyes
and
excuses
for
the
Lyar.
Whither
can
a
man
walke
,
but
Sathan
will
finde
him
out
?
Hee
dares
enter
into
the
Church
to
hinder
the
word
;
Nay
clymbe
up
into
the
Pulpit
,
and
broach
sects
and
schismes
.
Hee
will
not
leave
any
meanes
unattempted
to
worke
our
ruine
.
He
deales
with
us
in
our
temptations
as
he
did
when
hee
destroyed
Iobs
children
;
the
Text
saith
,
hee
raised
a
winde
from
all
the
world
;
if
the
East
winde
failed
,
then
the
West
might
effect
his
purpose
;
if
the
West
did
not
,
then
the
North
and
South
might
.
So
if
he
cannot
overcome
us
by
the
East
winde
of
prosperity
,
then
hee
will
try
what
he
can
doe
by
the
West
winde
of
adversity
;
If
he
cannot
prevaile
by
Idolatry
,
he
will
see
what
hee
can
doe
by
vaine
glory
and
popular
applause
.
If
he
cannot
overcome
by
drunkennesse
,
then
he
wil●
see
if
he
can
allure
by
adultery
.
If
he

can

?
Answ.
There
are
infinite
troopes
of
Divells
,
a
whole
Legion
in
one
man
,
which
according
to
the
learneds
Computation
is
6666.
And
if
there
were
so
many
in
one
man
,
there
must
needs
be
many
more
.
Now
these
Divells
flie
about
by
troupes
in
the
Ayre
,
&
certifie
one
another
what
is
done
in
all
places
.
They
know
every

nature
,
by
observing
their

;
They
know
what
men
love
and
hate
,
what
they
want
▪
and
what
they
desire
;
and
so
they
fit
their
temptations

.
And
though
it
be
Gods
Prerogative
to
know

,
yet
by
outward
actions
,
the
Divell
comes
to
rove
at

murther
and

,
and
then
hee
hales
them
forwrd
unto
all
mischiefe
.
Thus
he
saw
Iudas
repine
at
the
oyntment
which
was
spent
upon
his
master
,
and
accounts
it
waste
,
because
it
came
not
to
his
purse
;
therefore
he
filled
his
heart
with
covetousnesse
,
and
gave
him
no
rest
,
till
hee
had
sould
his
master
for
thirty
peeces
of
silver
,
the
price
of
a
Slave
.
Thus
also
hee
saw
Ananias
and
Saphirah
covetous
in
their
hypocriticall
devotion
,
and
therefore
hee
filled
their
hearts
with
dissimulation
to
lye
to
the
holy
Ghost
.
Hee
saw
Abimelech
ambitiously
affected
,
therefore
he
tempts
him
to
murther
his
brethren
,
that
hee
may
make
himselfe
sure
of
the
Kingdome
.
He
knowes
the
tide
of
all
our
affections
,
and
therefore
hee
labours
to
drive
us
violently
to
all
manner
of
sinne
,
and
to
draw
us
from
Gods
service
,
unto
his
owne
.
Thus
we
have
seene
,
how
malicious
our
enemies
are
to
destroy
us
.

Come
wee
now
to
examine
the
reasons
that
make

induce
him
thereunto
.
He
beares
an
inveterate
hatred
to
mankinde
,
partly
for
Gods
cause
,
and
partly
for
our
owne
.
1.
He
hates
us
for
Gods
cause
,
because
If

he
hath
justly
cast
him
out
of
Heaven
for
his
pride

,
and
judged
him

:
now
because
hee
cannot
offer
violence
to
his
sacred
Majesty
,
he
will
persecute

,
with
deadly
hatred
.
2.
He

he

and
to

their

is
nothing
else

such

they
that

such
are
they
that

and
stirre
up

What
a
number
of

hath
hee
in
every
place
,
to
hinder

salvation
?
Some
disgrace
the
Ministers
and
raise
up
ill
reports
against
them
,
to
make
their
doctrine
stinke
in
the
eyes
of

people
;
or
else
to
persecute
them
,
that
either
they
may
remoove
them
out
of
their
places
,
or
else
bee
quickly
weary
of
well
doing
.
And
if
they
take
a
godly
man
tripping
in
some
smal
errour
in
his
carriage
,
and
that
peradventure
but
some
misprision

they
raise

not
onely
of
tryumph
and
insultation
,
but
take
occasion
to
applaude
and
incourage
themselves
in
their
sinfull
courses

What
could
the
divell
doe
more
if
he
were
present
?
Hee
is
an
enemy
to
all

are

how

from

they

How

?
They
send

though

And
are
there
not
many
to
be
found
in
our
age
,
that
are
as
bould
and
impudent
in
sinne
?
Some
sell
themselves
to
commit
iniquity
as
Ahab
did
.
How
violently
are
some
carried
in
their
riotous
courses
of
drinking
,
swaggering
and
dissembling
;
as
if
they
were
swine
carried
by
the
Divell
into
the
lake
of
all
manner
of
filthinesse
?
Let
the
Magistrate
and
Minister
seeke
to
reclayme
them
,
they
will
rage
and
foame
,
like
the
Divell
in
the
Gospel
,
and
like
desperate
wretches
,
will
follow
their
lusts
,
though
they
goe
to
hell
for

These
men
shew
themselves
as
restlesse
as
their
father
the
Divell
.
Now
leas●
they
should
grow
weary
of
their
sinfull
courses
,
they
will
use
variety
of
objects
,
to
take
away
tediousnesse
.
When
they
are
weary
of
gaming
they
will
fall
to
drinking
,
and
from
drinking
to
swearing
,
from
swearing
to
quarrelling
,
and
from
quarrelling
to
fighting
;
and
from
one
extreame
they
will
fall
into
another
,
drinking
downe
sinne
like
water
,
and
make
it
a
pastime
to
commit
iniquity
.
But
of
all
the
sworne
souldiers
of
the
divells
band
,
none
serve
him
better
than
the
talebearer
and
the
envious
man
.
We
will
begin
with
the
flattering
talebearer
;
he
is
also
a
busie
walker
,
the
divell
walkes
in
the
greater
circuit
to
doe
mischiefe
,
and
hee
in
the
little
;
hee
can
quickly
goe
from
one
man
to
another
,
with
tales
and
accusations
,
to
make
enmitie
and
debate
,
and
to
charge
men
openly
or
secretly
,
with
things
utterly
untrue
and
false
;
sometimes
blazing
infirmities
,
which
love
would
have
covered
;
and
sometimes
aggravating
of
facts
or
speeches
,
of
which
charity
would
give
a
better
construction
.
But
if
these
wretches
can
fasten
any
thing
upon
Gods
Children
,
then
are
they
the
divell
swiftest
Dromedaries
to
cary
newes
,
&
to
make
it
passe
through
Tavernes
and
Alehouses
,
Gath
and
Ascalon
,
farre
and
neare
,
as
currant
and
authenticall
,
under
the
seale
of
their
good
fellowship
,
never
to
be
controled
untill
the
matter
be
determined
by
that
everlasting
judge
at
his
generall
session
and
Gaole
delivery
,
at
that
great
and
terrible
day
when
the
thoughts
of
all
hearts
shall
be
disclosed
.
There
is
no
name
given
to
the
Divell
,
but
that
may
bee
applyed
to
him
.
The
Divell
is
a
lyer
,
so
is
the
talebearer
:
he
is
an
accuser
,
so
is
the
talebearer
;
hee
is
an
enemy
to
all
goodnesse
,
so
is
the
talebearer
.
A
second
property
of
the
divell
is
to
roare
in
his
walke
;
so
doth
the
talebearer
,
he
roares
like
a
Lyon
,
and
bellowes
like
a
bull
;
and
rather
than
faile
,
if
hee
thinke
hee
shall
not
be
heard
,
hee
will
tell
his
tale
over
and
over
,
and
deprave
the
truth
,
by
adding
or
substracting
,
to
or
from
his
neighbours
words
;
though
peradventure
his
speeches
hang
together
,
like
a
sicke
mans
dreame
.
Againe
,
the
divell
in
his
walkes
seekes
to
devoure
,
so
doth
the
talebearer
,
hee
devours
a
mans
good
name
.
There
is
(
saith
Pro.
30
,
14.
Agur
)
a
generation
whose
teeth
are
as
swords
,
and
their
jaw
teeth
as
knives
,
to
devoure
the
poore
from
off
the
earth
.
Other
enemies
carry
their
swords
by
their
sides
,
these
carry
theirs
in
their
mouthes
,
that
they
may
shoote
them
out
at
their
pleasure
.
These
men
are
worse
than
the
Crowes
,
for
they
feede
on
dead
carcasses
,
but
these
on
living
men
.
If
Serpents
sting
us
and
mad
dogges
bite
us
,
there
may
bee
some
remedy
found
;
but
against
the
tongue
of
the
slanderer
,
there
can
bee
none
.
To
whom
shall
I
liken
this
filthy
generation
,
they
are
like
an
Archer
,
men
are
their
marke
,
and
evill
report
their
arrowes
;
Their
tongue
is
an
arrow
shot
out
.
Hell
and
the
tale
bearers
are
much
alike
;
the
one
is
never
satisfied
with
sinners
,
nor
the
other
with
slanders
.
The
second
Champion
,
for

,
the

a

we

his
malice
.
There
is
no
place
,
but
that
he
watches
his
opportunity
in
,
to
doe
us
mischiefe
.
There
are
but
two
places
in
the
world
,
where
men
may
be
safe
,
and
they
are
the
places
of
Gods
worship
,
and
the
place
of
our
particular
callings
.
The
former
because
God
is
present
in
the
Congregation
of
his
Saints
,
and
the
latter
because
he
hath
promised
to
keepe
his
in
all

wayes
.
Yet
for
all
this
,
Sathan
is
not
affraid
to
set
upon
us
at
Church
in
the
time
of
Gods
worship
,
and
to
divert
our
thoughts
from
that
we
heare
,
and
fill
our
mindes
with
sleepinesse
and
drowsinesse
;
and
after
we
have
heard
,
by
casting
other
thoughts
into
our
hearts
before
the
seede
of
the
word
is
harrowed
by
meditation
.
Now
this
advantage
he
hath
against
us
,
by
our
owne
carelesnesse
,
because
wee
doe
not
by
prayer
and
meditation
prepare
our
hearts
,
before
wee
come
into
Gods
presence
;
and
when
we
are
come
,
doe
not
so
reverently
carry
our selves
as
we
should
.
Hence
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
God
hath
no
delight
in
our
Sacrifice
;
and
therefore
gives
Sathan
leave
to
deprive
us
of
the
benefit
of
the
word
.
2.
He
tempts
us
in
our
particular
callings
,
and
makes
us
carelesse
in
them
,
or
to
use
some
indirect
courses
to
raise
our selves
by
unlawfull
meanes
,
that
thereby
he
may
deprive
us
of
the
Lords
protection
.
In
each
of
these
places
we
had
neede
to
looke
about
us
,
as
if
the
devill
were
alwayes
at
our
elbowes
,
and
with
feare
and
trembling
checke
our selves
for
giving
way
to
such
a
dangerous
enemie
;
and
when
wee
feele
his
temptations
begin
to
worke
,
then
say
to
our
soules
,
Surely
this
uncleane
spirit
is
here
,
and
I
was
not
aware
.
Vse

This
doctrine
is
usefull
for
reprehension
,
seeing
Sathan
is
so
malicious
&
for
estlesse
in
his
temptations
;
then
this
reprooves
many
,
that
make
light
account
of
such
an
adversary
,
whose
power
is
so
great

having
great
interest
in
us
by
reason
of
our
sinnes
,
which
mightily
take
his
part
:
and
yet
for
all
this
,
they
will
walke
without
their
spirituall
armour
,
and
carelesly
thrust
themselves
into
the
middest
of
his
armed
souldiers
,
and
so
with
Peter
in
the
high
Priests
Hall
,
fall
fearefully
before
they
be
aware
;
and
so
their
case
becomes
fearefull
,
because
they
have
had
so
many
watch
words
,
and
yet
will
not
be
warned
.
Vse

This
doctrine
is
usefull
for
direction
,
seeing
Sathan
and
his
instruments
are
so
resolute
to
doe
mischiefe
,
and
will
not
bee
hindred
in
their
enterprises
;
if
they
cannot
prevaile
one
way
,
they
will
try
another
:
Let
us
learne
of
them
to
bee
resolute
in
well
doing
,
and
not
to
be
discouraged
or
driven
backe
from
any
good
purpose
and
intendment
.
This
is
a
point
necessary
to
bee
urged
in
these
times
,
wherein
the
divell
labours
to
coole
zeale
,
&
to
hinder
us
in
the
practise
of
piety
;
sometime
he
puts
on
the
sheeps
skin
to
hide
his
woolvish
nature
;
hee
comes
to
the
Minister
and
perswades
him
to
pitty
himselfe
,
and
not
indanger
his
health
and
life
,
by
preaching
so
often
;
and
the
rather
because
the
people
do
not
regard
it
,
and
would
thinke
better
if
he
preached
not
at
all
,
or
preached
pleasing
things
.
But
against
these
temptations
Gods
children
must
take
examples
of
his
vassals
,
who
are
diligent
and
constant
in
his
service
;
who
will
reward
them
here
with
shame
,
and
eternall
torments
hereafter
.
Then
should
not
Gods
servants
bee
resolute
in
their
Masters
cause
?
who
in
his
mercy
will
cover
their
sinnes
,
and
crowne
their
weake
endevours
,
which
he
himselfe
worketh
in
them
,
in
such
a
manner
as
that
a
cup
of
cold
water
,
shall
not
goe
unrewarded
.
The
consideration
hereof
should
make
us
diligent
in
our
callings
;
for
can
we
spend
our
time
better
,
than
to
glorify
God
,
and
save
our
soules
?
therefore
let
every
one
of
us
?
say
to
our
soules
,
as
once
the
Prophet
did
to
Ahab
;
Get
thee
up
,
eate
and
drinke
,
for
there
is
a
sound
of
much
raine
.
So
should
we
say
to
our
sluggish
natures
,
up
and
be
doing
;
Get
thee
to
thy
study
,
to
preaching
and
praying
,
loose
no
time
;
for
there
is
a
sound
of
much
trouble
.
We
may
be
deprived
of
the
word
,
before
we
are
aware
;
wee
may
be
stopped
in
our
courses
and
pious
intendments
suddenly
,
wee
may
be
deprived
of
our
lives
in
a
moment
;
the
night
of
sickenesse
,
adversity
&
death
wil
come
,
and
then
we
cannot
worke
.
Oh
what
a
comfort
will
it
be
to
our
soules
when
death
approacheth
,
if
then
wee
can
say
in
sincerity
of
heart
with
godly
Hezekiah
,
Remember
●sa

,

O
Lord
,
I
have
walked
before
thee
with
an
upright
heart
!
Therefore
bee
not
weary
of
well
doing
;
remember
it
is
a
fearefull
thing
to
begin
in
the
spirit
and
to
end
in
the
flesh
;
therefore
let
every
one
of
us
say
to
Sathan
and
his
discouraging
Instruments
,
as
once
Nehemiah
did
to
his
crafty
Counsellers
,
What
,
should
such
a
one
as
I
flie
?
Nehem.

,

No
?
I
will
not
loose
my
labour
and
that
crowne
of

,
that
is
promised
to
all
them
,
that
are
faithfull
to
the
Revel.

death
,
to
please
Sathan
and
his
instruments
.
2.
Seeing
Sathan
is
so
restlesse
in
his
temptations
,
and
is
so
diligent
a
walker
;
be
exhorted
to
keep
out
of
his
walkes
:
though
he
walke
in
all
places
,
yet
hee
frequents
some
places
more
than
the
rest
;
and
,
they
are
the
Ale-houses
,
the
gaming
houses
,
and
the
whore
house
:
unto
which
hee
hath
other
walkes
,
and
they
are
gardens
of
pleasure
,
and
solitary
walkes
;
in
these
places
hee
eyes
us
,
and
many
times
finds
them
fit
places
to
set
his
temptations
on
worke
;
in
these
places
he
prevailed
over
Eve
,
Lot
,
David
,
&c.
These
places
like
him
well
,
and
into
such
places
he
drave
those
which
hee
possessed
,
Luk.
8.
29.
and
there
usually
shewes
himselfe
to
witches
:
Solitarie
places
be
his
walkes
,
and
in
these
he
delights
,
because
hee
is
the
Prince
of
darkenesse
,
and
hates
the
light
because
his
workes
are
evill
:
he
knowes
how
ready
man
is
to
sin
when
he
is
alone
,
and
when
mans
eye
is
not
over
him
to
hinder
him
;
he
knowes
that
many
dare
doe
that
in
the
darke
,
in
the
presence
of
God
,
which
they
would
blush
and
bee
ashamed
to
doe
in
the
presence
of
a
mortall
man
.
Therefore
the
godly
must
bee
carefull
to
shunne
and
avoyd
idlenesse
which
is
Sathans
pillow
,
by
which
hee
takes
many
tripping
,
and
lulls
them
asleepe
to
their
eternall
destruction
.
Therefore
when
we
are
alone
let
us
alwayes
be
speaking
to
God
,
by
our
prayers
,
or
●rayses
,
or
meditating
of
his
good●esse
;
hereby
we
shall
bee
fitted
for
●ur
callings
,
and
made
more
watch●ull
over
our
wayes
:
thus
if
wee
be
●mployed
,
though
Sathan
be
alwayes
walking
,
and
in
continuall
action
,
let
him
walke
whither
he
will
,
for
we
are
●n
our
calling
,
walking
with
God
.
And
if
at
any
time
hee
set
upon
us
in
our
solitary
walkes
,
let
us
take
the
benefit
of
companie
as
soone
as
we
can
,
but
herein
learne
wisedome
;
Let
your
company
be
good
,
and
such
as
feare
God
;
else
wicked
and
prophane
company
are
worse
than
solitarinesse
.
For
wee
heare
of
many
,
who
when
they
are
troubled
by
Sathan
,
runne
to
sinfull
company
,
and
spend
their
time
in
Carding
,
dycing
,
drinking
,
and
so
thinke
to
cast
out
the
divell
by
Beelzebub
the
Prince
of
divells
;
but
therein
they
deceive
themselves
,
and
harden
their
hearts
against
the
meanes
of
their
salvation
.
3.
Seeing
Sathan
goes
about
to
tempt
,
and
to
doe
what
mischiefe
hee
can
,
let
Gods
children
take
the
quite
contrary
course
,
and
endevour
to
doe
as
much
good
as
they
can
,
by
provoking
one
another
to
good
workes
,
and
shewing
themselves
patternes
of
all
goodnesse
.
For
,
shall
our
enemy
watch
for
our
destruction
,
and
shall
not
we
watch
for
our
preservation
?
Sathan
is
a
Fox
,
and
therefore
subtill
;
he
layes
siege
to
the
Castle
of
our
soules
,
and
labours
mightily
,
eyther
to
scale
the
walls
of
our
faith
,
or
to
batter
the
Bulwarke
of
our
patience
,
or
to
undermine
the
Turrets
of
our
zeale
and
fortitude
;
or
one
way
or
other
to
drive
us
from
our
hould
,
and
then
by
some
Stratageme
or
other
to
surprize
us
before
wee
are
aware
.
Wee
had
neede
therefore
to
looke
about
us
,
and
say
to
our
soules
as
Dallilah
did
to
her
husband
,
Vp
Sampson
,
the
Philistims
be
upon
thee
.
So
O
my
soule
,
stand
upon
thy
guard
,
and
looke
to
thy selfe
.
What
?
hath
thy
purse
enemies
on
the
highway
,
and
●hy
goods
enemies
about
thy
house
,
●nd
hast
thou
no
enemies
for
thy
●oule
?
Sathan
is
malicious
,
therefore
●e
will
spare
none
;
strong
,
therefore
●e
will
feare
none
;
up
therefore
and
●and
upon
thy
guard
.
Sathan
is
walk●ng
to
doe
thee
a
mischiefe
;
there●ore
bee
thou
watching
and
praying
,
●o
resist
and
withstand
all
his
tempta●ions
.
For
Sathan
is
vigilant
and
watchfull
,
ready
and
cunning
to
abuse
●ll
outward
objects
to
our
hurt
.
Hee
●abours
by
all
meanes
to
dishonour
God
,
and
to
crosse
him
in
his
provi●ence
,
and
to
deprive
all
mankinde
●f
happinesse
.
Therefore
he
labours
●o
draw
such
to
sinne
which
have
most
●eanes
to
withstand
it
,
and
have
had
●ore
mercies
to
encourage
them
to
●oe
forward
in
Gods
service
;
and
if
●ee
can
overcome
them
by
his
temp●ations
,
he
knowes
how
to
dishonour
God
in
a
high
degree
.
If
hee
can
get
●dam
to
sinne
in
Paradise
,
he
knowes
how
to
fill
the
world
with
sinners
quickly
.
If
hee
can
tempt
David
(
●
man
after
Gods
owne
heart
)
to
commit
adultery
and
murther
,
he
is
su●

If
hee
ca●
make
Iudas
one
of
the
twelve
to
betray
his

,
hee
thinks
hee
hat●
shaken
Christs
kingdome
;
and
if
he●
can
make
Peter
that
great
Champion
to
deny
and
forsweare
him
,
then
h●
doubts
not
but
to
lay
his
honour
i●
the
dust
.
So
at
this
day
,
if
hee
ca●
make
the
professers
of
the
Gosp●
carelesse
and
prophane
,
he
thinks
h●
hath
notably
dishonoured
God
;
i●
making
his
ordinance
unfruitfull
a●
unprofitable
.
Seeing
therefore
he●
is
so
malicious
and
so
diligent
,
let
●
labour
to
resist
him
stedfastly
and
co●stantly
,

and
then
he
will

And
thus
much
for

hee
walketh
through

seeking

Come
wee
now
to

he

Hee
walketh
through
dry
places
,
seeking
rest
,
and
findeth
none
.
Hence
then
we
may
learne
,
That
though
Sathan

,
yet
hee
shall
be
prevented
,
hee
shall
be
disappointed
of
his

.
Though
Sathan
bee
strong
and
mighty
whose
power
no
mortall
man
is
able
to
resist
,
yet
the
victorious
Lyon
of
the

is
stronger
,
and
will
rescue
his

,
and
make
him

that

And
though
the
godly
bee
as

appointed
to
destruction
by
the
malice
of
Sathan
,
yet
they
are
not
so

he

that
though

assaults

yet
their

And
though
the

are

;
yet
God
hath
a

in

,
to
pull
them
backe
,
and
will
not
suffer
them
to
execute
their
malice
upon

Though

yet
he
cannot

And
though
hee
cast
Daniel
into

,
yet
hee
cannot
compell
the

to

.
The
worst
that
Tyrants
can
doe
,
is
to
send
us
to
heaven
in
a
Chariot
of
bloud
,
they
can
doe
no
more
than
God
pleases
;
hee
knowes
how
to
deliver
his
Israel
out
of
all
their
troubles
.
This
doctrine
is
usefull
,
and
that
Vse
.
for
consolation
to
the
people
of
God
:
though
they
have
a
vigilant
enemy
which
pursues
them
with
a
deadly
hatred
,
as
Laban
did
Iacob
;
yet
the
Lord
will
step
in
,
and
commaund
him
not
to
hurt
them
:
though
the
godly
live
among
wicked
men
,
who
like
ravenous
Woolves
thirst
after
their
blood
;
yet
the
Lord
will
not
give
his
children
as
a
prey
to
their
teeth
.
Though
every
wicked
man
in
whom
Sathan
ruleth
,
be
like
a
Canaanite
to
the
Israel
of
God
,
yet
hee
will
not
let
their
furious
floods
carry
them
away
.
Though
the
godly
lie
open
to
the
snares
of
Sathan
,
and
they
like
silly
birds
are
ready
to
be
carried
away
;
yet
for
all
this
,
when
Sathan
and
his
instruments
,
seeme
to
have
made
most
sure
of
them
,
then
his
snares
are
suddenly
broken
and
they
escaped
,
by
the
providence
of
God
.
When
Herod
had
maliciously
cast

Peter
into

,
and
that
for

,
but
to

;
while
he
was
sleeping
betweene
two
Souldiers
,
bound
in
chaines
,
the
Lord
delivers
him
miraculously
out
of
his
hands
.
Seeing
God
is
a
present
helpe
in
the
time
of
neede
,
and
able
and
ready
to
deliver
his
children
from
the
malice
of
wicked
men
.
The
consideration
hereof
,
should
make
them
goe
on
cheerefully
in
the
workes
of
their
callings
,
and
not
to
feare
what
man
can
doe
to
them
.
Therefore
as
they
must
looke
up
to
God
for
helpe
and
deliverance
in
the
time
of
their
troubles
;
so
also
they
must
have
an
eye
to
Sathans
malice
to
expect
it
,
and
to
be
resolved
not
to
shrinke
for
all
his
temptations
and
cunning
Stratagems
.
Shall
the
Israelits
returne
backe
to
Egypt
,
because
Pharaoh
pursues
them
?
No
no
,
but
let
them
make
the
more
haste
to
the
land
of
Canaan
;
So
let
every
one
of
us
resolve
with
our selves
,
not
to
give
over
any
good
action
,
because
the
world
hates
us
and
reproaches
us
for
it
;
No
no
,
let
us
not
neglect
any
good
duty
which
God
and
a
good
conscience
requires
at
our
hands
,
to
please
the
world
or
to
stop
the
devills
mouth
.
For
if
wee
studie
to
please
men
rather
than
God
,
then
wee
cannot
be
the
servants
of
God
;
Let
us
then
couragiously
shew
our selves
on
Christs
side
by
taking
his
part
against
the
enemies
of
his
truth
,
because
there
is
no
peace
to
be
expected
with
Sathan
or
his
instruments
,
unlesse
it
be
upon
dishonourable
conditions
.
Sathan
is
like
to
Nahash
the
Ammonite
,
that
would
not

,
make
a
league
with
the
men
of
Iabesh
Gilead
unlesse
hee
might
put
out
their
eyes
;
so
Sathan
will
not
admit
of
any
conditions
,
unlesse
he
may
coole
our
zeale
,
and
hinder
us
in
the
meanes
of
our
Salvation
,
and
therefore
wee
had
neede
to
stand
upon
our
guard
:
for
if
hee
prevaile
,
hee
will
leade
us
captive
unto
sinne
,
and
inthrall
our
bodies
and
soules
to
miserable
bondage
;
and
therefore
let
us
shew
our selves
valiant
,
and
encourage
one
another
,
as
the
Philistins
did
,
and
quite
our

,
selves
like
men
and
fight
it
out
;
away
with
base
cowardice
,
wee
shall
prevaile
.
Sathan
hath
no
power
but
from
God
;
nor
is
able
to
molest
us
without
his
permission
;
to
incourage
us
to
fight
,
let
us
remember
hee
is
but
a
vanquished
slave
.
Christ
our
Captaine
hath
overcome

This
is
a
point
necessary
to
bee
considered
in
our
dayes
,
wherein
Sathan
and
his
instruments
so
much
prevaile
over
Gods
people
abroad
:
the
consideration
hereof
makes
many
a
poore
soule
stagger
,
as
if
God
had
cast
off
the
care
of
his
people
;
and
therefore
they
discourage
themselves
with
needelesse
feares
,
and
begin
to
fawne
and
curry
favour
with
Sathan
and
his
instruments
,
Papists
,
Atheists
and
the
like
;
as
if
God
were
like
to
have
the
worst
,
and
his
Children
were
like
to
goe
to
the
wall
.
But
let
us
renew
the
battell
,
for
Christ
seemes
to

from

Who
is

Let
us
then
cry

manfully
use

This
doctrine
is
usefull
for
terrour
to
all
Sathans
instruments
that
march
under
his
colours
against
Gods
Children
;
they
doe
but
loose
their
labour
,
and
kicke
against
the
prickes
;
for
God
must
prevaile
,
and
will
disappoint
all
his
enemies
of
their
hopes
,
and
let
the
world
see
they
doe
but
loose
their
labour
,
and
plucke
downe
vengeance
upon
their
soules
,
for
God
will
speake
to
them
in
his
wrath
and
vex
them
in
his
sore
dispeasure
.
Psal.
2
,
5
,
And
thus
much
for
Sathans
departure
and
demeanour
when
he
is
gone
,
He
walketh
through
dry
places
seeking
rest
,
and
findeth
none
.
Then
he
saith
,
I
will
returne
into
my
Vers.

house
from
whence
I
came
out
,
&
when
he
is
come
,
he
findeth
it
empty
,
swept
and
garnished
.
Wee
are
now
come
to
the
second
generall
point
propounded
,
wherein
we
are
to
observe
Sathans
diligence
to
regaine
his
former
possession
,
and
to
examine
the
reasons
that
induce
him
thereunto
.
Then
he
saith
,
I
will
returne
to
my
house
.
The
divell
being
ignorant
of
Gods
secrets
,
and
so
not
knowing
whose
names
are
written
in
the
Booke
of
life
,
hopes
to
gaine
the
day
upon
the
best
of
Gods
Children
;
and
if
he
cannot
prevaile
,
hee
will
not
cease
to
be
an
enemy
,
but
will
come
on
with
more
and
more
malice
;
and
if
he
cannot
prevaile
by
policie
,
hee
will
see
what
he
can
do
by
furie
.
Then
he
saith
,
I
will
returne
.
In
the
words
observe
these
particulars
.
1.
Sathans
undaunted
resolution
contained
in
these
words
,
I
will
returne
.
2.
The
Terminus
ad
quem
or
place
whither
,
To
my
house
,
which
hee
exemplifies
by
the
affection
he
beares
to
it
;
My
house
whence
I
came
out
.
3.
The
reasons
that
induce
him
to
make
his
re-entrie
,
and
they
are
described
by
3.
adjuncts
.
-
1.
The
house
is
emptie
.
Emptie
Per
pigritiam
et
negligentiam
.
-
2.
It
is
swept
.
-
3.
It
is
garnished
.
Wee
will
first
endeavour
to
free
the
words
from
obscurity
,
and
then
according
to
the
method
proposed
,
gather
such
instructions
as
naturally
arise
.
He
findeth
it
emptie
.
Ob.
What
is
meant
by
this
?
An.
To
be
empty
,
is
to
be
voyd
of
faith
,
and
hee
that
hath
no
faith
,
is
also
empty
of
good
works
.
For
true
faith
is
never
alone
,
though
in
the
worke
of
justification
,
it
justifies
alone
without
any
dependencie
of
good
workes
;
yet
in
the
declaration
and
manifestation
thereof
,
it
is
alwayes
joyned
with
good
workes
,
Iam.
2.
which
are
inseparable
companions
of
faith
.
But
hypocrites
are
empty
of
faith
,
the
mistresse
,
and
good
workes
the
handmaide
,
and
so
being
empty
of
both
,
they
are
fit
places
for
Sathan
to
set
up
his
rest
.
2.
He
findeth
it
swept
.
Ob.
What
Swept
.
Per
consuetudinem
peccati
.
is
meant
hereby
?
An.
Hypocrites
content
themselves
,
with
a
little
counterfeit
repentance
,
and
to
make
shew
of
a
little
humiliation
for
the
sinnes
which
the
world
takes
notice
of
.
These
are
swept
over
slightly
,
and
superficially
,
with
the
besome
of
hypocrisy
;
but
the
sinnes
of
profit
and
pleasures
,
these
are
baked
on
:
but
if
wee
will
be
a
swept
house
for
God
,
then
all
our
darling
and
pleasing
sinnes
,
must
be
scraped
and
pa●ed
away
,
by
greater
labour
than
●weeping
.
A
stayned
and
defiled
cloth
●s
not
easily
made
cleane
,
there
must
bee
washing
and
cleansing
and
great
paines
.
An
old
inveterate
sore
(
saith
the
wise
man
)
troubleth
the
Physitian
.
So
old
inveterate
sinnes
,
which
are
baked
and
caked
to
our
nature
,
will
not
easily
bee
sweeped
away
;
it
is
a
hard
matter
,
to
bring
men
to
repentance
which
are
dyed
in
graine
in
sin
,
there
must
be
much
scraping
and
digging
,
to
cast
out
this
filth
;
sweeping
will
not
serve
the
turne
;
for
sinne
by
long
continuance
have
defiled
these
houses
which
are
our
bodies
.
How
will
this
appeare
,
may
some
say
?
Doe
but
consider
how
much
rotten
and
unsavorie
communication
proceeds
out
of
our
mouth
;
how
much
envie
and
malice
boiles
in
our
hearts
;
doth
not
this
shew
,
that
there
is
much
filthinesse
within
?
and
doe
wee
then
thinke
a
little
counterfeit
repentance
will
serve
the
turne
?
no
,
no
,
there
must
be
powing
,
paring
and
scraping
out
of
the
uncleannesse
of
our
nature
,
much
purging
out
of
the
drosse
out
of
our
soules
;
else
wee
are
but
swept
houses
of
Sathan
.
It
is
garnished
.
Ob.
What
is
that
?
An.
The
hypocrites
heart
is
Garnished
,
Per
hypocrysim
.
garnished
with
hypocrisie
and
counterfeit
holinesse
,
his
heart
is
empty
of
faith
and
good
workes
,
swept
and
slighted
over
with
counterfeit
repentance
,
to
bleare
the
eyes
of
the
world
,
and
garnished
with
counterfeit
holinesse
;
so
that
Sathan
shall
have
roome
enough
,
it
is
empty
.
He
shall
have
it
pleasing
and
delightfull
,
it
is
swept
and
garnished
,
it
hath
all
manner
of
furniture
fit
to
receive
him
.
And
thus
you
have
the
sence
and
meaning
of
the
words
.
Then
he
saith
,
I
will
returne
to
my
house
.
Here
we
may
see
the
carriage
and
boldnesse
of
Sathan
,
though
he
be
expelled
and
have
received
the
foile
,
●et
hee
will
returne
.
He
is
audacious
●nd
will
aske
no
leave
;
though
hee
●e
chained
by
his
maker
,
yet
he
will
●oe
as
farre
as
he
can
,
hee
will
feare
●o
colours
.
Would
you
know
the
rea●ons
why
he
is
so
bould
and
audaci●us
.
The
reasons
are
these
two
.
-
1.
He
relies
upon
his
owne
strength
.
-
2.
Hee
takes
advantage
of
mans
weakenesse
.
1.
Hee
is
able
to
doe
much
by
his
owne
strength
,
therefore
he
is
called
the
God
of
this
world
and
the
Prince
that
ruleth
in
the
ayre
,
and
hath
all
wicked
men
at
his
becke
and
commaund
,
which
daily
hee
musters
up
to
take
part
against
God
and
his
children
;
he
is
the
head
of
all
Tyrants
and
wicked
men
,
and
makes
them
doe
as
Athaliah
did
,
kill
and
persecute
the
godly
that
hee
may
rule
himselfe
:
therefore
this
powerfull
enemy
knowing
his
owne
strength
,
and
his
Souldiers
courage
and
fidelitie
,
is
so
confident
,
that
by
one
meanes
or
other
he
shall
prevaile
;
and
so
desperate
and
venturous
,
that
he
will
returne
to
his
house
againe
,
nothing
shall
crosse
and
hinder
him
.
Good
Lord
,
what
will
not
Sathan
doe
?
If
thou
O
tryumphant
Lyon
of
the
Tribe
of
Iudah
doe
not
hinder
him
,
his
malice
is
against
thee
and
thy
glory
,
and
cannot
abide
that
thou
shouldst
be
glorifyed
by
thy
people
;
he
hates
thy
worship
,
and
therefore
labours
to
defile
it
:
therefore
shew
thy selfe
strong
to
perserve
thy
children
,
and
to
save
them
from
his
malice
,
and
to
keepe
them
alwayes
in
thy
feare
.
Seeing
then
Sathan
is
so
watchfull
and
diligent
to
doe
mischiefe
;
this
must
teach
us
to
be
watchfull
and
alwayes
to
stand
upon
our
guard
and
be
prepared
to
resist
his
temptations
:
for
as
soone
as
one
is
gone
hee
will
come
with
another
;
he
will
returne
to
his
house
one
way
or
other
;
and
what
hee
cannot
effect
by
force
,
hee
will
performe
by
flattery
.
Thus
many
times
under
the
name
of
friend
,
he
allures
us
to
some
one
sinne
or
other
;
thus
hee
stirred
up
Peter
to
move
his
master
to
pitty
himselfe
,
and
not
to
die
when
he
might
live
.
So
hee
perswades
many
Ministers
of
the
word
,
to
pitty
themselves
,
and
not
to
weare
out
themselves
in
Preaching
and
studying
,
as
many
doe
;
telling
them
that
many
good
Ministers
take
their
pleasure
,
and
yet
discharge
their
dutie
well
enough
.
But
in
this
case
,
we
must
say
to
him
as
our
Master
once
:
Get
thee
behind
me
Sathan
,
for
thou
Matth.
16.
art
an
adversarie
and
enemy
to
Gods
glory
,
and
his
peoples
salvation
.
And
if
hee
cannot
prevaile
with
friendly
termes
,
then
he
perswades
them
,
they
take
too
much
upon
them
,
the
Lords
people
are
holy
enough
,
and
that
there
needs
not
so
much
adoe
.
If
hee
cannot
prevaile
this
way
,
then
hee
will
see
if
he
can
make
them
proud
of
their
gifts
;
so
to
make
them
rob
God
of
his
glory
.
He
spends
all
his
time
in
open
rebellion
against
God
,
and
persecuting
his
children
.
Hee
workes
wonderfully
in
the
Children
of
disobedience
.
Ephe.
2
,
2.
Thus
hee
wrought
upon
the
prophane
heart
of
Esau
to
sell
his
birthright
for
a
messe
of
pottage
;
upon
the
covetous
heart
of
Iudas
to
betray
his
master
.
As
hee
is
cunning
in
his
secret
temptations
,
so
hee
is
very
craftie
to
delude
the
sences
by
outward
objects
.
Thus
he
deceived
Saul
in
Samuels
mantle
;
so
in
the
time
of
ignorance
he
deceived
many
,
by
entring
into
the
corps
of
some
dead
bodie
,
making
them
speake
what
hee
pleased
.
Thus
we
have
seene
the
malice
of
our
enemy
,
and
how
he
is
imbouldned
by
his
owne
strength
.
In
the
second
place
wee
are
to
see
how
our
weakenesse
gives
him
advantage
:
he
observes
our
negligence
and
sinfull
backesliding
,
therefore
like
a
cunning
thiefe
,
he
often
comes
to
view
the
house
,
and
to
spie
out
the
weake
places
before
he
make
any
entry
;
he
lookes
whether
we
be
fallen
into
those
sinnes
which
before
wee
made
a
shew
of
repentance
,
and
when
hee
findes
a
man
fallen
into
his
old
sinnes
againe
,
then
behold
a
swept
house
for
Sathan
.
He
knowes
our
nature
,
what
wee
love
,
delight
,
and
hate
,
and
so
fits
his
temptation
accordingly
.
Thus
hee
can
make
the
covetous
man
dig
to
Hell
for
riches
:
The
ambitious
man
to
use
many
indirect
courses
to
climbe
to
honour
and
preferment
:
The
wanton
to
commit
fornication
and
adultery
.
With
these
sugred
baites
he
hath
not
onely
deceived
the
wicked
,
as
Achan
,
Gehazie
,
Saul
,
Annanias
,
but
even
Gods
deare
children
,
as
Noah
,
Lot
,
David
,
Peter
,
and
many
in
our
dayes
.
Thus
by
knowing
our
nature
hee
provokes
us
●o
sinne
,
hee
stirrs
up
the
cholericke
man
to
anger
and
revenge
;
the
melancholy
man
to
despaire
,
and
distrust
,
and
to
take
things
in
the
worst
sence
.
So
he
perswades
all
mankinde
to
sinfull
security
,
and
that
they
have
time
enough
to
repent
and
amend
their
lives
;
and
so
wraps
them
under
the
curse
of
God
,
before
they
are
aware
.
I
will
returne
.
Sathan
he
thinkes
there
is
none
so
holy
,
but
that
he
may
pervert
;
hee
knowes
the
just
falles
seven
times
a
day
,
and
therefore
may
take
them
tripping
at
one
time
or
other
;
and
make
them
abuse
the
mercie
of
the
Lord
.
Againe
hee
knowes
that
there
is
none
so
sinfull
,
but
that
he
may
be
converted
,
and
therefore
hee
tempts
all
good
and
bad
;
and
rather
than
he
will
faile
of
his
temptations
,
he
will
raise
up
a
tempest
from
all
the
foure
corners
of
the
world
,
as
he
did
when
he
blew
downe
Iobes
house
and
killed
his
children
.
If
the
East
winde
of
prosperity
cannot
puffe
up
Gods
children
,
hee
will
see
what
hee
can
doe
by
the
west
winde
of
adversity
;
he
labours
alwayes
and
by
all
meanes
to
dishonour
God
,
and
to
bring
mankinde
to
ruine
:
and
had
not
we
neede
to
stand
upon
our
watch
,
and
to
take
heede
of
security
,
least
he
deale
with
us
as
Iael
did
with
Sisera
,
naile
us
to
the
posts
of
Hell
before
wee
are
aware
?
He
alwayes
stands
armed
,
so
let
us
;
let
us
not
then
let
our
armour
lie
rustie
,
but
by
prayer
buckle
it
on
;
let
us
alwayes
keepe
in
our
calling
,
and
then
we
are
under
Gods
protection
,
and
then
we
may
bouldly
crave
his
assistance
.
Let
us
remember
wee
have
a
craftie
divell
to
deale
withall
,
that
will
watch
us
at
all
turnes
and
times
;
he
hath
his
tearmes
and
vacations
,
his
goings
and
commings
,
though
sometime
by
Gods
restrayning
power
he
may
stay
away
a
long
time
,
yet
he
will
returne
;
therefore
bee
not
secure
,
but
prepare
for
his
comming
,
he
hath
not
done
with
us
,
he
will
by
one
meanes
or
other
labour
to
get
possession
,
and
therefore
wee
had
neede
to
have
a
vigilant
eye
over
all
the
parts
and
faculties
of
our
soules
and
bodies
,
least
they
become
windowes
to
let
in
Sathan
to
take
possession
.
And
thus
much
for
his
courage
and
resolution
,
contayned
in
these
words
,
I
will
returne
.
Come
we
now
to
the
Terminus
ad
quem
,
or
whither
hee
will
returne
.
I
will
returne
to
my
house
.
Sathan
calls
the
hypocrites
heart
his
house
,
and
so
it
is
indeed
,
but
not
by
creation
.
So
every
man
is
Gods
house
,
1
Cor.

but
by
the
wilfull
refusall
of
Gods
mercies
,
they
then
become
denns
for
Sathan
to
lodge
in
.
Thus
the
proud
mans
heart
is
a
house
for
Lucifer
to
lodge
in
.
The
Adulterers
heart
,
an
Inne
for
Asmodius
to
roost
in
.
The
envious
mans
heart
a
Cage
for
Beelzebub
to
lurke
in
.
The
revengefull
mans
heart
is
a
pallace
for
Baalberith
to
domineere
in
.
The
drun●ards
heart
a
stie
for
Beelphegor
to
reside
in
.
The
idle
mans
heart
is
a
Turret
for
Ashtaroth
to
keepe
Rande
vowes
in
.
Though
men
may
flatter
themselves
,
and
thinke
they
are
in
good
case
,
yet
while
they
live
and
remaine
in
their
sinnes
,
they
are
in
Gods
account
no
better
than
uncleane
houses
for
Sathan
to
roost
in
;
though
they
fare
daintily
and
have
sumptuous
houses
,
yet
all
this
while
,
they
are
but
filthy
Parlours
for
Sathan
.
Here
we
may
take
up
a
bitter
lamentation
,
Heu
dom●s
antiqua
,
&c.
and
with
Ieremy
weepe
day
and
night
for
the
miseries
which
are
befallen
the
sonnes
of
men
.
Man
was
created
holy
and
for
Gods
service
;
but
now
these
glorious
houses
are
become
denns
for
Sathan
to
dwell
in
.
Where
pride
and
malice
domineers
and
carnall
security
beares
sway
,
vice
and
all
manner
of
wickednesse
let
in
,
and
piety
and
the
feare
of
the
Lord
shut
out
:
Pride
and
carnall
security
hath
barred
the
doore
against
the
Lord
the
holy
one
of
Israel
;
he
stands
knocking
,
but
wee
will
not
let
him
in
.
If
pride
,
malice
and
revenge
knocke
,
we
are
ready
to
open
,
and
willingly
embrace
them
;
but
the
motions
of
Gods
Spirit
wee
chocke
and
grieve
,
and
will
not
entertaine
them
;
The
Lord
lay
not
our
sinnes
to
our
charge
.
The
Lord
hath
wooed
us
by
his
Ministers
,
invited
us
by
his
mercies
,
and
drawne
us
by
the
bands
of
love
,
and
would
have
married
us
to
himselfe
;
ose
.
2
,
20.
but
wee
like
desperate
wretches
and
despightfull
creatures
,
will
marry
our selves
to
our
pleasures
,
to
our
delights
,
to
our
sinnes
,
nay
to
Sathan
himselfe
.
O!
consider
this
all
yee
that
forget
God
,
and
so
preferre
hell
before
Heaven
.
The
Gaderens
were
branded
for
infamous
wretches
,
for
preferring
their
swine
before
Christ
the
Saviour
of
the
world
:
And
the
Iewes
accursed
for
choosing
Barrabas
a
filthy
murtherer
,
before
Iesus
a
meeke
Saviour
.
But
O
alas
!
how
shall
wee
bee
registred
for
infamous
wretches
,
if
wee
neglect
so
great
salvation
?
Let
the
consideration
hereof
move
every
one
of
us
,
to
consider
of
these
things
which
belong
to
our
peace
,
and
now
to
make
up
an
agreement
with
our
adversary
;
while
wee
are
in
the
way
with
him
.
It
followes
,
I
will
returne
to
my
house
.
See
heere
what
love
Sathan
beares
to
his
former
house
,
and
his
wisedome
and
policie
to
provide
him
a
resting
place
;
if
hee
may
not
be
where
hee
would
,
yet
he
will
be
where
hee
may
.
If
he
cannot
be
a
king
in
heaven
,
he
will
reigne
as
a
god
in
earth
;
and
if
he
cannot
rest
in
the
hearts
of
Gods
Children
,
then
he
will
dominere
in
the
children
of
disobedience
;
He
had
rather
be
in
any
place
,
than
in
hell
;
therefore
he
will
consider
his
future
place
,
before
hee
will
leave
his
former
habitation
;
hee
would
not
goe

,

out
of
the
man
hee
possessed
,
before
hee
had
liberty
to
goe
into
the
swine
.
He
had
rather
be
in
the
hogs
,
than
no
where
.
While
hee
is
in
earth
,
he
torments
others
,
but
while
hee
is
in
hell
he
is
tormented
himselfe
.
And
therefore
like
an
envious
wretch
,
he
thinks
hee
finds
rest
if
hee
can
revenge
himselfe
upon
mankinde
,
or
any
thing
that
belongs
to
man
.
Hee
can
finde
no
rest
in
a
Papist
or
Atheist
,
for
hee
knowes
that
their
worme-eaten
consciences
lackes
nothing
but
searing
with
the
hot
Iron
of
Gods
wrath
;
he
is
sure
enough
of
them
,
because
they
are
hardned
in
their
prophanenesse
,
and
so
the
custome
of
sinne
hath
taken
away
the
sence
of
sinne
;
yet
for
all
this
,
if
hee
cannot
prevaile
against
Gods
Children
,
hee
will
to
his
old
house
againe
,
there
he
is
like
to
have
good
entertainement
,
which
is
better
to
him
,
than
to
walke
in
dry
places
,
where
he
findes
so
much
resistance
.
Come
we
now
to
see
what
entertainement
he
findes
;
the
house
is
emptie
,
that
is
,
voyd
of
the
graces
of
Gods
Spirit
;
he
findes
the
hypocrite
after
he
is
inlightened
,
fitter
to
receive
him
than
hee
was
before
,
hee
findes
the
house
empty
.
The
Divell
shall
never
want
roome
wheresoever
hee
comes
;
he
shall
not
be
troubled
with
inmates
,
nor
with
any
thing
which
shall
offend
him
.
There
are
many
professors
now
adayes
,
will
cast
off
good
motions
and
the
performance
of
many
good
duties
,
to
please
Sathan
and
his
Instruments
,
rather
than
they
would
be
tearmed
Puritans
and
Precisians
.
Lord
lay
not
this
sinne
to
their
charge
.
Hee
findes
it
empty
both
of
faith
and
good
workes
.
Now
this
emptinesse
proceeds
from
idlenesse
,
which
is
the
mother
of
all
mischiefe
.
An
empty
house
is
a
cage
for
all
uncleannesse
;
So
an
idle
man
is
a
fit
subject
for
Sathan
to
worke
upon
;
he
knowes
God
cannot
endure
idlenesse
,
but
punished
it
in
the
men
of
Sodome
,
Gen.
Ezek.
16.
49.
19.
24.
and
the
men
of
Laish
,
Iudg.
18.
27.
And
wise
men
in
all
ages
have
condemned
it
.
Cato
by
natures

tells
Iomines

us
that
men
by
doing
nothing
learne
to
do
evill
:
and
Themistocles
termed
idlenesse
,
the
Toombe
or
grave
of
such
as
are
alive
;
and
sayd
,
that
there
was
little
difference
betweene
an
idle
man
and
one
that
is
dead
,
for
none
of
them
doe
any
good
.
Therefore
the
ancient
Romans
would
not
suffer
men
to
walke
in
the
Streets
,
unlesse
they
carried
their
manuall
instruments
with
them
;
all
which
shewes
how
they
hated
idlenesse
.
When
men
are
idle
,
then
Sathan
hath
most
advantage
against
them
.
When
David
was
walking
2
Sam
▪
11.
upon
the
roofe
of
his
house
,
then
Sathan
stirred
up
lust
in
his
heart
,
and
made
him
goe
to
his
neighbours
bed
,
and
so
caused
the
name
of
God
to
be
blasphemed
:
so
that
hence
wee
may
conclude
,
that
the
end
of
lazinesse
,
is
the
beginning
of
lewdnesse
▪
When
Sathan
findes
his
house
empty
,
tennantlesle
;
no
marvaile
if
hee
make
it
a
cage
for
all
filthinesse
.
Sathan
cannot
finde
this
emptinesse
in
the
children
of
God
,
for
their
hearts
are
filled
with
the
grace
of
Gods
Spirit
;
faith
stands
as
a
Porter
armed
with
the
sword
of
the
Spirit
,
which
drives
backe
all
the
temptations
of
the
Devill
.
The
next
thing
that
mooved
Sathan
to
make
his
reentry
is
,
he
findes
the
house
swept
;
what
a
swept
house
is
you
have
partly
heard
,
how
that
a
little
counterfeit
repentance
will
not
serve
the
turne
to
get
out
the
dirt
and
filth
which
is
baked
and
seated
in
nature
.
A
house
that
is
made
foule
and
filthy
,
by
much
resort
of
people
,
will
not
bee
made
cleane
by
a
little
sweeping
;
there
must
be
paring
and
scraping
with
a
paring
Iron
,
else
the
filth
will
hang
on
and
will
not
be
remooved
:
Even
so
these
temples
of
our
bodies
,
these
earthly
houses
,
will
not
bee
clensed
and
purged
from
the
corruption
of
sinne
,
with
the
beasome
of
counterfeit
repentance
;
but
the
sharpe
knife
of
the
law
must
be
set
on
worke
,
there
must
be
a
searching
of
the
heart
,
a
plowing
up
of
the
fallow
ground
,
there
must
bee
a
mortifying
of
the
fruits
of
the
flesh
,
there
must
be
a

;
a
little

will
not
serve
the

,

there
must

in
regard
of
the
meanes
that
we
had
to
resist
it
,
if
we
had
had
grace
to
use
them
aright
;
therefore
when
we
have
failed
in
using
our
spirituall
weapons
,
then
we
must
condemne
our selves
,
and
take
a
holy
revenge
upon
our
nature
,
which
did
in●ice
us
to
such
and
such
sinnes

must
doe
as
Mary
Magdalen
did
,
shee
had
abused
her
eyes
to
wantonnesse
,
and
her
haire
to
pride
;
therefore
upon
her
repentance
shee
tooke
revenge
of
her selfe
;
she
made
her
eyes
,
a
fountaine
of
teares
to
wash
her
Saviours
feete
,
and
her
haire
a
towell
to
wipe
them
;
so
must
we
,
if
wee
have
offended
by
gluttony
,
or
drunkennesse
,
wee
must
bring
under
our
bodies
,
by
fasting
and
humiliation
.
Thus
did
David
when
he
had
sinned
against
his
neighbour
in
giving
way
to
sinfull
lusts
and
uncleannesse
:
so
when
he
had
desired
to
drinke
of
the
waters
of
Bethleem
,
1
Chro.

,

and
after
hee
did
see
it
was
brought
with
the
jeopardie
of
the
lives
of
his
three
Worthies
,
then
he
tooke
a
holy
revenge
of
himselfe
;
hee
would
not
drinke
of
it
,
but
powred
it
out
as
a
sacrifice
before
the
Lord
.
Thus
the
cunning
men
being
converted
by
the
preaching
of
the
word
and
brought
to
repentance
,
burned
their
Bookes
,

,
that
were
deere
unto
them
,
for
a
revenge
upon
themselves
for
their
sinne
;
by
which
they
shewed
,
both
an
indignation
in
their
affections
,
and
a
just
revenge
in
their
actions
:
thus
if
men
would
judge
themselves
,
they
should

not
be
judged
of
the
Lord
.
Man
is
made
miserable
quickely
,
but
hee
is
not
so
soone
made
happie
againe
.
Esau
suddenly
lost
his
birth-right
,
but
hee
could
not
gaine
the
blessing
with
many
teares
.
A
swept
house
will
not
serve
the
turne
,
it
must
bee
a
sorrowfull
and
contrite
heart
that
God
delights
to
dwell
in
.
Let
us
then
set
uppon
our
sinnes
,
and
up
with
them
by
the
rootes
;
downe
with
pride
,
covetousnesse
,
and
all
manner
of
sinne
that
offends
God
and
grieves
our
neighbour
;
else
we
are
but
deceiptfull
hypocrites
,
and
garnished
and
swept
houses
for
Sathan
.
If
swept
houses
will
not
serve
the
Vse
.
turne
,
then
how
may
we
bewaile
our
times
,
wherein
so
many
slovens
delight
themselves
in
all
manner
of
sin
and
prophanenesse
?
How
many
are
there
to
bee
found
in
our
dayes
,
that
thinke
it
an
easie
matter
to
be
saved
?
But
brethren
deceive
not
your selves
,
these
filthy
soules
which
have
beene
defiled
with
so
many
sinnes
,
will
not
be
so
easily
cleansed
.
We
have
many
wayes
defiled
our selves
with
vaine
and
unsanctified
thoughts
,
many
foule
and
unsavory
words
have
proceeded
out
of
our
mouthes
;
and
doth
not
this
shew
that
wee
have
filthy
soules
?
Againe
,
how
many
lewde
and
sinfull
acts
have
wee
committed
and
doe
commit
from
time
to
time
?
and
will
a
small
repentance
make
amends
for
all
these
transgressions
?
No
,
no
,
there
must
be
striving
and
preassing
to
enter
in
at
the
straight
gate

kingdome
of
heaven
suffers
violence
and
the
violent
take
in
by
force
.
But
alasse
!
how
many
of
us
sit
still
,
sporting
our selves
in
our
pleasures
and
delights
?
If
eating
and
drinking
,
swearing
and
swilling
,
would
send
us
to
heaven
,
there
are
a
great
many
would
come
thither
.
There
are
many
also
to
be
found
,
that
when
they
are
rebuked
for
their
sinnes
,
and
perswaded
to
amend
their
lives
,
they
will
give
good
words
,
and
wish
that
they
could
doe
as
they
should
,
but
how
few
of
many
are
willing
to
plucke
up
their
sinnes
by
the
rootes
?
Many
will
use
the
broome
of
repentance
in
sweeping
the
house
of
their
soule
lightly
and
superficially
;
but
they
will
leave
still
behind
their
evill
customes
and
wicked
habit
of
sinne
which
cleaveth
fast
to
them
,
and
is
as
deare
as
their
right
eye
.
Wee
see
by
experience
,
that
many
griping
Vsurers
will
hate
adultery
,
make
conscience
of
swearing
and
forswearing
,
&c.
these
cobwebbes
they
will
sweepe
away
;
but
for
the
filthy
habit
,
and
wicked
trade
of
Vsury
,
because
it
is
a
gainefull
sinne
,
and
brings
them
an
easie
life
,
the
broome
shall
not
come
so
farre
.
So
againe
,
many
Adulterers
(
though
well
monied
)
hate
Vsury
,
because
it
is
unlawfull
and
condemned
by
God
,
Psal.
15.
Ezek.
18
:
but
for
adultery
their
beloved
sinne
,
this
dirte
,
this
filth
must
remaine
unswept
.
The
like
may
bee
said
of
all
other
sinnes
.
Thus
hypocrites
will
indent
with
God
as
if
he
kept
a
court
of
Faculties
,
to
dispence
with
their
darling
,
their
beloved
sinnes
,
which
they
are
loath
to
forgoe
.
But
brethren
marke
(
I
pray
you
)
the
policy
of
Sathan
:
If
he
can
keepe
but
one
corner
in
this
spirituall
temple
,
it
shall
suffice
him
,
he
knowes
how
to
keepe
possession
well
enough
;
but
brethren
deceive
not
your selves
,
if
the
divell
have
any
part
in
your
heart
,
God
will
have
none
,
he
will
not
admit
of
a
Corrivall
;
he
will
be
,
aut
Caesar
aut
nihil
,
he
will
have
the
whole
,
or
else
let
the
divell
take
all
;
therefore
learne
wee
to
use
violence
against
our
beloved
sinnes
,
and
let
the
divell
have
no
crevisses
to
looke
into
our
hearts
,
lest
he
circumvent
and
surprise
us
before
we
are
aware
,
as
he
hath
and
doth
many
,
deceiving
them
daily
with
outward
shewes
and
the
leaves
of
religion
,
without
substance
and
through-reformation
of
the
heart
;
but
if
we
will
be
a
swept
house
for
the
Lord
,
wee
must
cast
away
all
our
sinnes
;
outward
shewes
will
not
delight
him
,
he
cannot
endure
a
divell
in
Samuels
Mantle
.
It
is
garnished
.
The
house
swept
and
garnished
,
is
a
similitude
borrowed
from
the
use
and
custome
of
men
,
who
delight
to
have
all
things
handsome
,
cleane
and
comely
,
when
they
are
to
entertaine
their
friends
.
But
the
divell
hee
delights
in
no
such
matter
,
this
uncleane
spirit
hee
delights
in
all
manner
of
filthinesse
,
and
all
manner
of
ungodlinesse
,
nothing
pleaseth
him
better
.
The
beastly
drunkard
,
the
abominable
swearer
,
the
lustfull
talker
,
the
filthy
liver
;
these
men
are
garnished
houses
for
him
;
These
men
are
as
a
princely
pallace
for
him
to
domineere
in
.
When
men
have
bidden
farewell
to
God
and
all
godlinesse
,
then
they
are
fit
houses
for
him
,
when
the
feare
of
God
is
choaked
in
mens
hearts
,
and
the
remembrance
of
Gods
judgements
is
not
before
their
eyes
.
When
the
house
is
swept
from
all
godinesse
and
vertue
,
&
garnished
with
the
damnable
sins
of
swearing
,
lying
,
&
all
maner
of
wickednes
then
behold
these
are
trimmed
houses
for
Sathan
to
roost
in
.
Sathan
delights
to
have
his
house
garnished
,
that
thereby
hee
might
seeme
Gods
Ape
;
for
God
will
have
his
house
garnished
,
saith
the
Apostle
:
For
this
is
the
will
of
God
,
even
our
1
Thess.
4
,
sanctification
,
that
every
one
should
know
how
to
possesse
his
vessell
in
holinesse
and
honour
.
God
will
have
the
beames
of
his
house
Cedar
,
and
the
Galleries
firre
;
hee
will
have
sanctification
for
the
groundworke
,
&
holinesse
of
life
for
the
ornament
;
So
the
devill
,
he
will
have
his
house
garnished
also
,
but
the
beames
of
his
house
,
are
the
ougly
workes
of
darkenesse
,
and
the
galleries
sin
and
all
manner
of
prophanenesse
.
Now
if
hee
can
get
this
house
whited
over
with
a
counterfeit
it
shew
of
Religion
,
then
this
is
a
house
well
trimmed
and
garnished
for
him
to
dwell
in
.
Sathan
will
allow
his
servants
sometime
to
make
shew
of
sanctity
,
that
thereby
they
may
doe
the
more
mischiefe
;
and
to
pretend
Religion
in
shew
,
that
they
may
act
wickednesse
in
substance
.
He
is
loath
to
discourage
his
servants
,
therefore
he
will
gratifie
them
a
little
,
&
sometime
give
them
the
bridle
in
their
hands
.
Thus
hee
was
contented
Abimelech
should
entertaine
Abraham
in
the
best
of
his
land
,
and
that
Iudas
should
be
Christs
disciple
;
he
cared
not
,
seeing
he
could
allure
the
one
to
Adultery
,
and
perswade
the
other
to
betray
his
Master
.
If
he
can
allu●●
any
to
the
love
of
any
one
sinne
●en
he
is
well
enough
.
Sathan
de●●es
with
sinfull
men
as
Pharaoh
did
with
the
Israelits
,
when
he
was
compelled
by
the
judgement
of
God
to
let
them
goe
;
then
hee
would
have
some
pawne
to
remaine
in
his
hand
:
goe
,
saith
he
,
and
sacrifice
to
the
Lord
your
God
,
but
leave
your
sheepe
and
your
cattell
behind
you
.
What
,
had
Pharaoh
any
neede
of
their
goods
?
No
no
,
it
was
not
their
goods
that
hee
aymed
at
,
hee
had
a
further
reach
.
He
knew
that
the
Iewes
were
covetous
and
worldly
minded
,
and
therefore
if
they
should
bee
punished
with
want
in
the
Wildernesse
;
hee
knew
they
would
remember
their
cattell
in
Egypt
,
and
quickly
come
backe
againe
for
them
.
So
Sathan
deales
with
those
he
hath
a
long
time
kept
in
bondage
,
if
at
any
time
he
be
commanded
by
Moses
and
Aaron
,
that
is
,
by
the
powerfull
preaching
of
Gods
word
,
to
let
the
Lords
people
goe
,
and
come
out
of
the
Egypt
of
their
sinnes
,
and
to
travell
in
the
desert
of
repentance
;
then
how
many
blocks
and
hinderances
doth
he
cast
,
how
many
stormes
doth
hee
raise
to
discourage
them
,
and
to
hinder
them
in
their
journey
to
the
Caelestiall
Canaan
?
And
if
he
cannot
hinder
us
,
then
hee
labours
to
make
our
mindes
wander
after
our
profits
and
pleasures
:
but
as
Moyses
and
Aaron
were
resolute
,
that
they
would
not
leave
any
of
their
goods
behinde
them
to
please
the
King
,
but
were
resolved
to
obey
the
Lords
commaund
:
so
must
wee
when
God
calls
unto
us
to
come
out
of
sin
,
wee
must
not
retaine
any
of
them
to
please
Sathan
,
but
must
keepe
the
temples
of
our
bodies
pure
,
that
they
may
be
a
garnished
house
for
the
Lord
to
dwell
,
by
his
Spirit
.
He
findes
it
garnished
.
Wee
have
heard
how
a
garnished
house
pleases
Sathan
,
and
how
an
hypocrite
may
be
sayd
to
be
a
garnished
house
:
we
will
(
notwithstanding
all
that
hath
beene
sayd
)
spend
a
little
more
time
in
examining
what
is
meant
by
the
word
(
Garnished
:
)
by
the
garnished
house
,
wee
may
not
unfitly
understand
also
the
occasions
of
sin
,
for
the
occasions
of
sinne
are
Sathans
●aites
,
whereby
he
is
invited
to
make
re-entry
:
therefore
the
Apostle
would
●ave
us
not
only
abstaine
from
sinne
,
but
also
from
the
appearance
of

If

,
which
he
knoweth
we
wil
at
one
time
or
other
returne
backe
to
fetch
again
,
and
then
he
will
surely
hould
us
captived
.
Take
heede
then
of
the
occasions
of
sin
,
for
●t
is
the
occasion
that
makes

If
by
the
mercy
of
God
,
thou
hast
repented
thee
of
thy
sinnes
,
take
heede
of
the
occasions
of
sinne
.
Hast
thou
beene
a

?
Now
take
heed
of
wanton

,
alluring
harlots
,
●ascivious
talking
,
amorous
songs
,
wanton
pictures
,
idlenesse
and
the

which
are
occasions
of

If

hast
forsaken

damnable
custome
of

,
and
by
the
mercy
of
God
,
hast
bound
thy
tongue
to
the
good
behaviour
,
shunne
also
the
company
of
prophane
swearers
.
If
thou
have
forsaken
the
beastly
sinne
of
drunkennesse
,
abandon
also
thy
boone
companions
,
for
the
occasions
of

are
the
divells

,
which
he
layes
to
ensnare

Iron
is
hard
,
yet
at
last
fire
will
dissolve
it
;
so
a
holy
man
by
familiarity
with
sinners
,
will
quickly
be
brought
to
sinne
.
It
fares
with
our
corrupt
nature
as
it
doth
with
a
little
fire
,
which
though
it
be
almost
out

Then
how
may

the
carelesnesse
of

in
our

,
that
are
so
farre
from
shunning
the
occasions

sinne
,
as
that
they
lay
themselves
open
to
all
manner

temptations

and
so
become
dangerous
instruments
for
Sathan
to
tempt
others
to
sinne
;
like

and
wanton
manner
,
and
to
entice
him
to
take

of
love
with
her
.
But
let
us
learne
to
stop
the
course
of
sinne
in
the
beginning
,
and
to
crucifie
the
flesh
,
with
the
lusts
thereof
,
and
to
say
with

If

have

thee
by
his
Spirit
,
and
pulled
from
thee
the
filthy
raggs
of
sinne
,
take
heede
of

objects
.
For
hee
that
despiseth
small
sinnes
,
doth
easily
fall
into
greater
.
For
there
is
no
sinne
so
little
,
but
if
it
be
neglected
it
will
increase
.
The
drops
of
raine
are
but
little
in
quantitie
,
yet
they
cause
great
floods
which
beares
all
before
them

Therefore
if
wee
would
not
commit
sinne
with
greedinesse
,
let
us
learne
to
take
heed
of
the
beginnings
of
sinne
.
If
there
bee
nothing
but
a
a
little
dust
in
our
Chamber
,
a
broome
will
sweepe
it
away
:
but
if
the
dirt
and
filth
be
hard
and
baked
on
,
there
must
bee
a
spade
to
dig
it
out
:
so
if
sin
be
resisted
at
the
first
,
it
will
not
easily
grow
and
encrease
.
Wee
must
not
give
sinne
entertainement
,
least
it
prove
our
ruine
.
As
men
are
carefull
to
kill
Serpents
in
the
shell
,
Ravens
in
the
nest
,
so
must
we
doe
with
our
sinnes
:
we
must
strangle
them
in
the
birth
,
and
not
suffer
them
to
grow
to
perfection
;
else
if
wee
doe
not
,
wee
shall
remaine
a
garnished
house
for
Sathan
.
Motives
to
induce
us
to
shunne
the
occasions
of
sinne
.
Nature
hath
made
the
creatures
carefull
to
prevent
bodily
danger
.
The
horse
that
hath
beene
plunged
in
a
Quagmire
,
will
not
easily
come
into
it
againe
,
but
will
shun
it
with
all
his
might
.
The
fish
which
hath
beene
Ictus
Pisci●
fugit
hamum
.
wounded
with
the
hooke
,
will
warily
shunne
the
baite
.
Then
if
the
creatures
by
natures
light
shunne
the
occasions
of
danger
,
what
a
shame
is
it
for
man
which
hath
not
onely
natures
light
,
but
also
is
indued
with
reason
,
and
hath
the
light
of
Gods
word
to
be
a
Lanthorne
to
his
feete
and
a
light
to
his
steps
,
if
hee
doe
not
shunne
the
occasions
of
sinne
?
And
thus
much
for
Sathans
entertainement
;
he
findes
his
house
empty
,
swept
,
and
garnished
.
Then
goeth
hee
and
taketh
with
himselfe
Vers.

seven
other
spirits
,
more
wicked
than
himselfe
,
and
they
enter
in
and
dwell
there
.
And
the
last
state
of
that
man
is
worse
than
the
first
.
In
these
words
we
may
observe
Sathans
policy
,
to
fortifie
himselfe
,
hee
encreases
his
strength
;
his
confederates
are
heere
described
:
-
1.
By
their
essence
,
they
are
spirits
.
-
2.
By
their
number
,
they
are
seven
.
-
3.
By
their
malice
,
they
are
more
wicked
.
-
4.
By
their
victory
,
they
prevaile
;
they
enter
in
and
take
possession
.
-
5.
The
issue
and
event
,
the
lamentable
estate
of
that
man
is
not
onely
miserable
,
but
it
is
worse
than
the
first
.
The
enemies
that
strive
for
possession
are
spirits
,
and
so
unresistable
;
they
come
in
the
suggestion
of
unrighteousnesse
,
and
if
we
consent
unto
them
,
then
wee
entertaine
them
.
When
Ananias
and
Iudas
consented
to
the
wicked
motions
that
the
divell
inspired
into
them
,
the
divell
is
sayd
to
fill
the
hearts
of
the
one
,
Act.
3.
and
to
enter
into
the
other
,
Luk.

3.
So
all
those
that
walke
in
evill
,
evill
hath
possession
of
them
.
But
it
may
bee
replyed
and
said
;
Quest.
What
man
is
there
that
doth
not
sin
,
and
so
give
place
to
the
divell
?
Ans.
In
many
things
wee
sinne
all
,
and
1.
Ioh.
1
,
8.
If
we
say
we
have
no
sinne
,
wee
deceive
our selves
,
and
the
truth
is
not
in
us
.
Yet
the
divell
dwelleth
not
alike
in
all
;
for
those
which
with
consent
of
heart
entertaine
his
suggestions
,
hee
hath
full
hould
of
them
;
but
the
godly
,
when
they
give
place
to
him
through
infirmity
,
they
let
him
come
into
the
Suburbs
and
out
places
;
but
Christ
by
his
Spirit
dwelleth
in
their
hearts
by
faith
,
from
which
he
forces
him
to
retire
.
As
for
the
wicked
,
if
Sathan
get
advantage
,
as
hee
will
be
restlesse
in
his
temptations
,
as
you
have
heard
;
so
hee
will
be
in
his
torments
;
hee
will
spare
none
,
old
nor
young
;
as
you
may
see
,
Luk.
9.
39.
42.
and
if
hee
be
so
cruell
to
children
,
which
for
want
of
knowledge
have
done
him
no
hurt
,
how
cruell
will
hee
be
to
those
which
have
set
themselves
against
him
?
He
taketh
with
him
seaven
other
spirits
more
wicked
.
The
spirits
are
described
by
their
number
,
they
are
seaven
;
which
is
a
certaine
number
put
for
an
uncertaine
,
by
which
is
meant
a
number
of
capitall
sinnes
.
These
Divells
are
lestlesse
;
when
Sathan
entred
into
Iudas
,
he
gave
him
no
rest
,
till
hee
had
betrayed
his
Master
;
hee
called
and
allured
him
by
covetousnesse
,
to
get
the
money
,
and
when
hee
had
it
,
he
stirred
up
such
stormes
in
his
conscience
that
hee
could
not
be
at
rest
,
till
he
had
hanged
himselfe
.
These
spirits
are
more
wicked
than
the
former
,
because
they
make
those
whom
they
possesse
more
wicked
:
and
sinne
may
be
increased
and
made
more
wicked
and
that
in
divers
respects
,
and
that
,
1.
In
the
greatnesse
of
the
mercy
offered
;
thus
Iudas
his
sinne
in
betraying
his
Master
,
was
worse
than
the
Iewes
in
conspiring
his
death
.
Iudas
had
many
watchwords
to
take
heede
of
the
treason
,
and
yet
for
all
this
,
hee
would
not
rest
till
hee
had
brought
the
blood
of
his
Saviour
upon
his
owne
soule

Sinne

the

great
sinne

which
must
be
an
item

out

that

circumstances
,
then
by
the
same
reason
seaven
new
spirits
may
make
a
sinner
more
wicked
than
he
was
when
the
first
left
him
.
The
more
meanes
any
one
hath
to
escape
the
snares
of
the
divel
,
the
greater
shall
be
their
punishments
,
if
they
neglect
the
meanes
to
escape
them
.
Then
hee
taketh
to
him
seaven
spirits
worse
than
the
former
.
Hence
then
wee
may
learne
,
that
there
is
a
difference
of
sinnes
,
sinners
,
and
consequently
of
punishments
.
The

was
said
to
be
an

;
yet
the

are
seaven
worse

An

Now
these

,
seeing

from

;
let

So
sinne
if

will

bee

But
if

will
not
make
use
of
the
meanes
and

God
hath
given
them
to
withstand
sinne
▪
but
will
give
the

unto
their

,
to
wallow
in

,
with
greedinesse
,
not

till
they
have

through

yet
for
all

they

such

up
to

,
and
to

more

God
will

This
armour
is

able
to
secure
those
that
buckle
it
●on
,
from
all
dangers
,
if
they
will
play
the
men
and
quit
themselves
valiantly
;
but
this
backslider
hath
not
a
piece
of
it
to
ward
off
the
least
blow
.
Sathan
is
a
cunning
fencer
,
which
knowes
how
to
handle
his
weapons
,
but
this
silly
wretch
hath
never
a
weapon
to
defend
himselfe
,
and
offend
his
enemie
;
but
is
like
an
unwalled
Citty
,
exposed
to
the
malice
of
his
enemy
.
No
marvaile
then
if
these
foule
spirits
enter
in
&
take
possession
,
seeing
there
is
no
opposition
made
to
resist
them
,
nor
desire
to
repell
them
.
His
misery
now
followes
:
They
enter
in
and
dwell
there
.
They
that
are
fallen
from
common
graces
and
illumination
,
are
twise
more
subject
to
Sathan
than
they
were
before
.
Hee
dwelleth
in
them
Non
tanquam
corpus
locatum
in
loco
,
as
the
Philosophers
say
,
as
a
bodie
seated
in
a
place
;
for
the
Divells
are
spirits
,
and
not
contained
in
any
place
.
Nor
yet
Tanquam

in

,
as
the
soule
doth
dwell
in
the
body
;
but
the
divells
dwelling
is
by
his
power
and
operation
.
He
dwelleth
in
them
by
working
in
them
.
Would
you
know
what
hee
workes
?
The
Philosopher
saith
,
Omne
agens
sibi
simile

.
Every
Agent
worketh
like
himselfe
,
that
is
,
he
maketh

,
cruell
,
envious
,
and
uncleane
as
himselfe
.
Would
you
know
how
he
workes
in
them
?
Sathan
cannot
compell
or
enforce
any
man
to
wickednesse
;
yet
he
is
able
to
worke
upon
the
affections
,
and
by
a
spirituall
power
to
dar●en
the
mindes
of
the
ungodly
,
That

up

.
Sathan
sets
an
edge
upon
the
affecti●ns
,
and
stirrs
them
up
to
desire
and
●oe
evill
.
Thus
he
makes
the

glister
in
the
covetous
mans
●ght
,
the
red
wine
in
the
glasse
plea●ant

sight
:
As
hee
●ets
a
false
varnish
upon
sinne
,
so
also
●e
makes
the
way
of
vertue
hard
and
●npleasant
,
so
that
where
Sathan
doth
●ule
and
raigne
,
there
hee
is
sayd
to
●well
.
The
Lord
defend
us
from
his
●ower
,
that
hee
may
never
dwell
so
●mong
us
,
for
he
is
an
unreasonable
guest
,
he
will
not
bee
gon
till
he
hath
eaten
his
Landlord
out
of
house
and
home
.
They
enter
in
and
dwell
there
.
There
is
roome
enough
in
an
hypocrites
heart
for
many
sinnes
;
Mary
Magdalen
had
seaven
,
but
this
wretch
hath
eight
.
Absalon
had
pride
,
treason
,
ambition
,
incest
,
and
ingratitude
;
all
these
lodged
in
a
small
piece
of
flesh
.
Hee
that
will
carefully
observe
how
much
filthinesse
our
blessed
Lord
discovers
lodged
in
one
heart
,
which
sends
out

Adulteries

;
cannot
but
wonder
,
how
so
small
a
thing
could
containe
,
so
great
a
quantitie
;
yet
here
we
see
that
innumerable
sinnes
are
involved
in
one
man
.
The
divells
know
that
a
kingdome
divided
,
cannot
stand
,
and
therefore
they
are
quiet
among
themselves
.
Would
God
the
factious
spirits
of
our
age
would
consider
this
;
then
there
would
not
bee
so
much
contention
for
things
indifferent
,
as
there
is
.
The
last
state
of
that
man
is
worse
than
the
first
.
His
state
was
bad
enough
before
,
but
now
it
is
worse
,
by
reason
of
the
strong
possession
hee
had
;
but
one
divell
before
,
but
now
hee
hath
eight
;
which
will
the
sooner
worke
out
his
damnation
.
The
last
state
of
such
a
man
is
worse
than
the
former
,
and
that
in
a
threefold
respect
:
-
1.
Of
the
Devills
.
-
2.
Of
the
Sinner
.
-
3.
Of
God
.
1
In
respect
of
the
divell
,
who
now
will
use
him
worse
than
before
;
hee
let
him
enjoy
his
pleasures
and
his
vanities
before
;
but
seeing
him
in
any
good
moode
,
he
feares
least
hee
get
from
him
;
he
cannot
endure
that
a
man
should
repaire
to
the
place
of
Gods
worship
or
converse
with
good
company
;
hee
knowes
,
the
power
of
the
word
and
godly
conference
are
to
convert
a
desperate
sinner
;
therefore
if
he
can
finde
his
opportunity
,
he
will
remoove
him
from
all
meanes
whereby
he
might
be
saved
;
and
harden
his
heart
,
and
dead
his
affections
,
till
hee
hath
plunged
him
under
the
wrath
of
God
unrecoverablie
.
2.
His
state
is
worse
in
regard
of
himselfe
,
while
he
was
mantled
under
the
garment
of
piety
,
and
was
cloathed
with
the
lambe
skin
of
outward
profession
,
so
long
he
injoyed
a
good
estimation
among
the
godly
,
and
enjoyed
the
benefit
of
their
prayers
:
but
when
his
counterfeit
holinesse
appeares
to
be
double
wickednesse
,
as
before
his
hypocrisie
deceived
the
world
,
so
now
his
Apostacy
hath
deceived
himselfe
;
therefore
his
estate
is
worse
.
As
before
he
did
but
counterfeit
his
repentance
,
so
now
he
hath
got
not
onely
a
whoores
forehead
that
he
cannot
blush
;
but
also
,
Ier.
3.
3.
he
hath
gotten
a
brazen
face
,
that
he
can
no
more
blush
,
than
a
blacke
dogge
.
3.
His
estate
is
the
worse
in
respect
of
God
,
who
will
turne
him
out
of
his
protection
:
when
God
seeth
that
he
esteemes
the
dung
,
huske
and
trash
of
this
world
above
him
;
then
hee
forsaketh
his
dwelling
being
so
injuriously
used
,
and
will
not
let
his
providence
any
longer
take
charge
of
him
,
but
let
him
wallow
in
his
sinnes
with
all
greedinesse
;
and
so
,
the
further
hee
goes
from
Gods
mercy
,
the
nearer
hee
comes
unto
his
justice
.
God
cannot
endure
backeslyding
,
but
will
severely
punish
it
.
Carnall
men
,
they
thinke
nothing
of
the
slacking
of
their
zeale
,
but
God
accounts
it
as
a
grievous
thing
;
if
any
draw
backe
,
his
soule
shall
have
no
pleasure
in
him

those
that

have
no

are
unrecoverable

there

,
but
a
fearefull
looking
for

and

.
Nothing
doth
so
provoke
the
vengeance
of
God
against
men
as
Apostacie
doth
.
For
a
man
to
fall
from
riches
to
poverty
,
from
honour
to

,
is
a
matter
of
nothing
;
God
loves
a

never

for
his
abasement
in
the
world
,
as
may
be
seene
in
Iob
on
the
dunghill
,
or
Lazarus
at
the
rich
mans
gate
;
but
when
a
man
falls
from
piety
to
prophanenesse
,
from
the
society
with
the
Saints
,
to
be
companions
with
divels
;
this
is
a
lamentable
thing
.
Against
these
men
the
Lord
complaynes
,

they
have
changed

for
that
which
doth
not
profit
.
Therefore
hee
tells
them
,
Thine
owne
wickednesse
shall
correct
thee
,
and
thy
backslidings
shall
reproove
thee
;
know
therefore
and
see
,
that
it
is
an
evill
thing
and
bitter
,
that
thou
bast
forsaken
the
Lord
thy
God
,
and
that
my
feare
is
not
in
thee
,
saith
the
Lord
God
of
hosts
.
How
fearefull
was
Iudas
fall
,
to
come
Vers.

from
a
Preacher
to
bee
a
Traytor
?
Demas
from
a
Gospeller
to
bee
a
worldling
?
So
fearefull
is
the
case
of
all
those
which
have
entred
into
the
way
of
Godlinesse
and
have
made
a
good
beginning
,
and
yet
leave
off
the
race
in
the
midds
;
such
men
as
they
are
not
worthy
of
the
crowne
,
so
also
they
disgrace
not
onely
themselves
,
but
also
the
godly
,
and
procure
to
them
great
reproach
.
For
when
a
man
falls
from
the
profession
of
the
truth
,
the
world
sees
hee
was
but
a
painted
hypocrite
when
he
was
at
the
best
;
hence
it
comes
to
passe
that
they
loose
their
honour
,
and
their
glory
is
turned
into
shame
.
And
if
shame
rested
upon
them
alone
,
it
were
well
;
but
their
falls
opens
the
mouths
of
prophane
men
to
insult
and
triumph
and
say
,
These
are
your
professors
,
and
Scripture
men
,
they
are
as
bad
as
any
are
;
therefore
I
will
trust
none
of
them
,
for
such
a
mans
sake
.
Now
if
the
spyes
which
brought
an
evill
report
upon
the
land
of
Canaan
,
were
never
suffered
to
enter
into
the
land
because
they
discouraged
the
people
;
so
the
Apostate
because
hee
hath
laid
a
stumbling
blocke
in
Gods
Childrens
way
,
deserves
to
bee
shut
out
of
the
Lords
rest
,
whereof
the
land
of
Canaan
was
a
type
.
Thus
you
have
seene
the
fearefulnesse
of
sinne
,
let
us
now
make
application
of
it
to
our selves
.
Is
the
decay
of
grace
in
the
soule
Vse
.
the
greatest
decay
,
and
to
fall
from
religion
the
greatest
fall
,
because
the
things
that
are
lost
,
are
the
most
precious
,
and
the
ruines
of
the
soule
which
is
the
most
noble
and
excellent
,
produces
dishonour
to
God
,
and
shame
to
religion
?
then
what
a
controversie
hath
the
Lord
with
many
of
us
which
with
the
Church
of
Ephesus
have
forsaken
our
first
love
?
How
many
are
there
to
be
found
which
formerly
have
shined
like
the
morning
starres
by
their
bright
profession
,
which
now
are
turned
retrograde
like
wandring
Planets
,
and
so
their
glory
hath
ended
in
shame
,
because
like
the
foolish
Galathians
,
they
began
in
the
spirit
,
and
ended
in
the
flesh
.
If
a
righteous
man
turne
from
his
righteousnesse
&
committeth
iniquity
,
all
his
righteousnesse
shall
be
forgotten

2.
Seeing
the
sinne
of
Apostacie
is
so
dangerous
,
then
be
exhorted
all
ye
that
feare
God
,
if
yee
would
not
have
a
great
and
shamefull
fall
,
then
take
direction
from
Iude
the
servant
of
Iesus
Christ
,
to
Build
up
your selves
in
your
●de

:
most
holy
faith
,
striving
every
day
to
be
better
and
better
,
for
we
are
like
a
boate
that
goes
against
the
streame
;
if
we
doe
not
labour
with
might
and
maine
,
to
row
upward
,
wee
shall
be
carried
by
the
streame
of
our
affections
downeward
;
therefore
if
wee
would
receive
the
crownes
of
life
,
we
must
continew
faithfull
unto
the
death
.
For
he
that
continueth
unto
the
end

he
saved
.
Therefore
in
the
compasse
of
our
profession
we
must
goe
a
puncto
ad
punctum
,
from
point
to
point
,
from
Alpha
to
Omega
,
from
the
first
to
the
last
.
Let
us
dig
deepe
and
lay
a
good
foundation
,
that
wee
may
be
able
to
●ould
out
when
the
stormes
of
poverty
,
affliction
,
disgrace
and
contempt
beate
upon
us
.
For
these
many
times
come
like
a
wirlewinde
,
and
will
be
ready
to
overturne
us
,
if
we
be
not
well
grounded
;
therefore
that
wee
may
stand
fast
,
make
use
of
these
or
the
like
directions
.
1.
Be
carefull
to
avoyde
the
least
sinne
,
least
it
usher
in
a
greater
;
for
sinne
and
Sathan
,
as
you
have
heard
,
winde
themselves
in
by
some
small
temptations
,
till
at
the
last
like
the
sores
of
the
body
,
which
at
first
are
vicious
humors
,
then
swelling
tumors
,
and
after
that
impostumate
,
and
so
become
uncurable
;
so
the
sores
of
sins
waxe
greater
and
greater
till
they
breed
&
bring
eternal
death
:
therefore
when
thou
art
fallen
,
thinke
of
our
Saviours
counsell
;
remember
whence
Revel.
2
,
thou
art
fallen
,
repent
and
amend
,
confesse
your
sinnes
daily
and
crave
pardon
for
them
.

daily
lamentations
,
to
that
from
which
he
is
fallen
,
by
vaine
delectation
.
Take
heede
of
lukewarmnesse
in
religion
,
and
of
backsliding
.
If
Christ
have
washed
thee
in
his
blood
,
bathed
thee
in
his
wounds
,
and
cured
thee
with
his
stripes
,
and
tooke
off
this
burthen
from
thy
shoulders
;
take
heede
of
lading
thy selfe
againe
by
new
transgressions
,
but
if
thou
be
made
whole
,
sinne
no
more
,
least
a
worse
thing
happen
Ioh
,
5
,
14
,
unto
thee
.
2.
Take
heed
of
sinne
in
generall
,
so
in
a
speciall
manner
;
take
heed
of
vilifying
the
worke
of
grace
that
shines
in
Gods
servants
,
and
is
made
evident
to
your
consciences
by
the
word
or
worke
of
God
.
This
was
the
fearefull
sinne
of
the
Iewes
,
that
daily
saw
the
divine
power
of
Christ
shining
in
their
consciences
,
yet
they
did
oppose
themselves
against
him
,
and
charged
him
that
hee
borrowed
helpe
of
the
divell
,
and
that
hee
cast
out
divels
by
Beelzebub
the
Prince
of
Divells
.
3.
Take
heede
of
in
constancy
in
religion
,
and
of
time-serving
.
Some
thinke
that
if
they
bee
young
Saints
,
they
may
proove
old
divells
;
therefore
they
slacke
their
zeale
in
youth
,
to
conforme
themselves
to
the
time
,
and
resolve
to
bee
more
religious
in
their
old
age
;
but
wee
see
such
flutter
with
Noahs
Raven
,
and
hardly
recover
themselves
againe
:
but
if
wee
finde
our
affections
running
with
an
irregular
motion
,
let
us
stay
our selves
,
and
make
a
league
with
religion
,
as
Ruth
did
with
Naomi
,
resolve
never
to
part
.
4.
What
vertue
soever
you
finde
in
the
Saints
,
endevour
to
imitate
,
and
what
God
reveales
unto
you
,
be
carefull
to
practise
;
God
lookes
that
his
talents
should
be
imployed
to
his
glory
,
therefore
let
not
your
knowledge
swimme
idlie
in
your
braines
for
vaine
speculation
,
but
let
it
be
fruitfull
in
your
lives
for
others
imitation
.
5.
Labour
for
the
Spirit
of
prayer
and
suplication
,
for
this
is
an
invincible
bulwarke
against
Sathans
darts
;
Crave
daily
the
Lords
assistance
,
and
commit
your
soules
unto
him
daily
in
well
doing
,
and
daily
examine
your
heart
by
the
rule
of
Gods
word
,
by
which
try
whether
you
have
faith
to
beleeve
Gods
promises
,
&
if
you
have
it
will
make
you
carefull
to
obey
his
Commandements
;
thus
he
that
keeps
the
forte
of
faith
towards
God
,
and
a
cleare
conscience
towards
the
world
,
Sathan
may
assault
him
,
but
shall
never
Oppugnat
diaboluine●●●●ugnal
.
subdue
him
;
for
whosoever
can
practise
these
directions
shall
be
sure
to
stand
fast
and
firme
.
The
application
doth
now
follow
,
Even
so
shall
it
be
to
this
wicked
generation
.
Wee
have
at
large
shewed
you
Gods
mercy
to
the
Iewes
,
and
their
ingratitude
to
him
againe
,
and
that
God
hath
paid
them
home
,
and
made
them
spectacles
of
his
wrath
,
for
all
ages
to
looke
upon
;
therefore
we
will
leave
them
unto
G●ds
mercy
,
and
in
his
good
time
to
open
their
eyes
,
that
they
may
behold
their
crucified
Saviour
,
and
see
what
may
make
for
their
everlasting
good
;
and
apply
this
doctrine
to
our
owne
soules
.
If
I
should
begin
to
number
the
mercies
the
Lord
hath
continued
unto
the
Land
in
generall
,
I
might
spend
much
time
and
yet
not
report
the
one
halfe
;
of
an
infinite
number
take
a
few
.
We
were
all
possessed
with
the
spirit
of
blindnesse
,
as
other
nations
were
,
and
were
tempted
to
as
much
uncleanenesse
as
ever
the
Pagans
were
;
but
yet
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
expell
the
darkenesse
of
Popery
,
and
to
send
the
light
of
the
Gospell
amongst
us
,
which
we
have
enjoyed
in
peace
and
purity
,
this
threescore
and
thirteene
yeares
;
so
that
we
have
had
peace
within
our
walls
,
and
prosperity
within
our
pallaces
,
and
no
complayning
in
our
streets
.
And
by
the
powerfull
preaching
of
the
Gospell
,
Sathan
this
uncleane
spirit
hath
beene
cast
out
of
us
;
now
let
us
take
heede
least
hee
creepe
into
us
againe
by
hypocrisie
,
and
unthankefulnesse
for
the
Lords
mercies
;
and
so
make
us
thinke
that
our
religion
stands
in
shewes
,
and
consists
in
outward
formality
,
least
wee
abusing
the
Lords
mercies
,
and
grow
leane
and
ill
favoured
after
wee
have
devoured
so
many
yeares
of
store
and
plenty
under
the
powerfull
preaching
of
the
word
,
wee
arme
our
enemie
against
us
,
who
regaining
entrance
,
brings
seaven
spirits
worse
than
he
did
before
,
and
so
fortifie
his
habitation
with
hypocrysie
and
other
foule
sinnes
(
for
our
unthankefulnesse
for
the
Lords
mercies
)
and
then
there
shall
bee
more
prophanenesse
than
there
was
before
.
But
that
this
fearefull
judgement
may
not
overtake
us
,
let
us
speedily
amend
our
lives
,
and
turne
to
the
Lord
with
all
our
hearts
;
and
then
our
latter
end
shall
be
better
●han
our
beginning
