An
exposition
of
the
Hymne
commonly
called
Benedictus
.
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
,
Luke
.
1.68
.
for
he
hath
visited
&
redeemed
his
people
.
THe
holy
ghost
more
earnestly
now
then
before
,
prouoketh
&
forceth
his
Prophete
Zacharie
to
sound
forth
his
praise
as
in
this
Hymne
is
apparant
:
his
harte
béeing
set
downe
in
the
Chaire
of
déepe
consideration
of
Gods
mercie
to
Jsraell
,
beginneth
wyth
laude
and
prayse
to
God
for
their
and
our
Saluation
in
Christ
Iesus
.
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Israell
,
sayth
he
,
hée
calleth
God
the
God
of
Israell
,
not
because
he
reigneth
onely
ouer
Israell
,
for
he
is
also

vnto
their

seales
of

to

that
of

Israell

he
would
rayse
vp
his
holy
Child

which

These

in

at

times
of

finding
the
lyke

Blessed

First
this

and
God
belongeth
to

as

their

grafted
into
Christ
,
by
whose
spirite
and
worde
preached
,
we
are
made
the
children
of
Abraham
,
not
by
birth
in

for
we
are
of

his

Christ
,
who
is
the
true
séede
of
Abraham

wyth
the

Therfore
as

Blessed

The

But
also
are
set

sure
into

,
that
it
is
impossible
for

satan

flesh

or

to

For
it
is
our

So
that
to

come
no
condemnation

nor
any
want
of
that
which
is
good
.
Therefore
agayne
wyth
the
whole
Church
of
God
we
most
ioyfully
ought
to
say
.
Blessed
be

Lorde
God
&c.
For
he
hath
visited
and
redeemed
his
people
.
Finally
,
note
here
that
the
Papistes
in
their
Mattins
vsing
,
or
rather
into
abuse
bringing
and
chaunting
this
song
did
neuer
a
right
as
Zacharie
the
good
Priest
did
,
therewith
praise
the
Lord
,
for
they
worshipped
him
with
lippes
alone
,
without
vnderstanding
the
causes
why
:
but
he
first
waigheth
the
cause
,
before
hée
poureth
out
by
waight
the
Lordes
praise
.
His
hart
was
wholy
fraught
with
conceiued
matter
of
ioy
,
they
voyd
thereof
&
laden
with
terrible
doubtfulnesse
,
dare
not
presume
(
say
they
)
to
bost
of
their
deliuerance
,
which
popish
vice
as
it
is
their
deuotion
in
their
life
,
so
it
purchaseth
for
them
after
death
the
dregges
of
Gods
angrie
Cup
,
as
dreaming
Dirgis
,
and
restlesse
Masses
,
to
purchace
requiem
,
where
none
is
to
be
had
,
and
a
neuer
ceasing
paye
,
till
land
and
reuenewes
wyll
serue
no
more
.
And
yet
if
eftsones
of
them
it
be
asked
,
neuer
can
it
by
them
be
aunswered
,
the
soule
the
Lord
visiting
hath
redéemed
:
for
then
their
poperie
should
decay
.
But
thankes
be
vnto
God
,
who
by
his
vnfallible
truth
in
his
written
word
hath
assured
as
many
as
beleue
in

,
for
the
Church
of

Israell

speaketh
on

wise
saying

And
hath
raysed
vp
the
horne
of
saluation
vnto

in
the

of
his

Dauid
.
Albeit
(
sayth
the
Prophet
)
that
in
the
eyes
of
all
men
Israel
,
was
cast
downe
,
his
strength
worne
out
,
and
his
light
extinct
,
his
hope
gone
,
and
no
glory
left
in
the
house
of
Dauid
:
yet
do
I
now
sée
thée
O
Lord
,
mindfull
of
thy
former
promises
.
For
in
that
thou
hast
sent
my
sonne
the
Baptist
,
thy
messenger
,
and
enriched
the
wombe
of
the
virgin
with

,
thou
hast
assured
vs
of
thy
erected
Christ
in
the
Tabernacle
of
Dauid
,
which
is
to
vs
a
most
mightie
saluation
by
thy
spirit
,
in
the
mouth
of
the
same
Dauid
promised
saying
.
There
will
I
make
the
horne
of
Dauid
to
bud
,
Psal.

for
I
haue
ordained
a
light
for
mine
anoynted

And
the
time
now
,
thou
hast
respected
to
the
inestimable
comfort
of
thy
Church
,
in
which
Herod
and
thy
enemies
haue
perished
(
in
shew
)
thy
Dauids
line
,
and
haue
vsurped
his
throne
.
As
thou
before
time
hast
promised
,
saying
:
Jn
that
day
will
I
rayse
vp
the
Tabernacle
of
Dauid
that
is

downe

And
J

,
and
J
will
build
it
as
in

A
horne
he
calleth
Christ
our
Sauiour
significantly
,
thereby
checking
the
pride
of
Sathan
in
his
members
,
that
séeke
to
destroy
the
kingdome
of
Israell
,
as
also
declaring
that
he
shal
be
of
strength
to
ouercome
their
strength
:
yea
and
that
his
place
and
dignitie
is
no

Vnderstand
therfore
that
this
word
Cornu

sometime
signifieth

Sa.

kingdom
and
princely
power
,
as
in
Daniell
and
in
Samuel
.
Sometime
it
is
taken
for
strength
and
great
might
,
as
in
Daniel
againe
,
and
in
the
Psalmist
,
[
](A19257-e11840-b)(b)
(b)
Psal.
75.10
.
All
the
hornes
of
the
vngodly
will
J
breake
,
but
the
hornes
of
the
iust
(
saith
he
)
shal
be
exalted
.
The
sum
of
the
Prophets
wordes
are
,
as
if
he
had
sayd
:
To
vs
depriued
of
strength
,
hope
and
comfort
,
by
the
mightie
enemies
of
god
in
the
world
,
the
Lord
in
despite
of
them
that
throw
vs
downe
to
the
dust
,
hath
erected
in
the
midst
of
them
his
promised
Christ
,
which
is
to
vs
that
beleue
in
him
,
a
mightie
king
,
a
strong
saluation
.
That
,
and
the
only
sauing
health
of
God
,
giuen
to
al
nations
,
that
feare
him
,
and
call
vppon
his
name
.
Yea
,
and
that
in
the
same
linage
and
stocke
which
the
mightie
of
the
world
are
now
in
hand
to
destroy
,
euen
in
the
house
of
his
seruant
Dauid
.
Since
to
vs
this
horne
with
his
honour
and
strength
is
erected
,
let
vs
consider
something
further
of
these
the
Prophets
wordes
.
And
first
note
that
in
Christ
alone
,
which
is
borne
of
Dauids
stocke
,
the
virgin
Mary
,
(
not
in
the
popish
wheaten
and
coniured

)
hath
the
heauenly

placed

sauing
health
and
in
no
other
:
wherefore
in
him
alone
must
wée
repose
our
trust
,
as
in

fulnes
of
the
Godhead
and
his
whole
fauour
dwelleth
corporally
,
and
in
whom
alone
[

he
resteth

23.6
.
the
Lord
our
righteousnes
.
Secondly
he
is
of
God
,
set
vp
to
be
our
saluation
,
therefor
may
we
not
els
where
séeke
for

,
of

or

,
neither
feare
any

Thirdly
the
same
horne
that
to
the
wicked

terrible
and
vgly

destroying
their
kingdomes
and

,
is
to
the
faithfull
the
horne
of
their
health
in
God
,
from
the
sicknes
of
their
sinne
.
And
also
it
is
to
them
life
into
heauen
,
from
and
against
the
death
in
hel
.
As
the
same
water
which
drowned
the
wicked
of
the
world
,
neither
sparing
Shippe
,
Citie
,

,
or

at

Yea
,
and
as
naturall
death
it selfe
,
is
to
the
wicked

the
doore
to

:
So
is
the

naturall

,
by
this
our
strength
Christ

(
who
hath
ouercome

,
and
her

the

to

Let
the
Papists
therefore
tremble
at
the

of
this
our

,
for
neither

God
is

,
and
therfore
we
feare
not
what
the

any

Fourthly
,
where
and
when
is
this

there

where

When

Euen
when

also
,
when

And
did

decay

and
the

enter
into
their

Was
not
Dauids
house
aboue

Then
&
there
did
the

send

by

the

Wherfore
alwayes
with

such
places
of

take

And

that

Where
and
when
did
this

shewe

But
when
the
bloud

Then

there
hath

againe

As

Now
hauing
the
text
thus
opened
,
by
Gods
mercies
,
and
grace
of
his
spirit
,
let
vs
according
to
our
former
rule
obserue
some
such
profitable
notes
,
as
the
same
doth
reache
apparantly
,
to
our
considerations
.
And
first
in
this
seconde
verse
of
this
section
,
(
for
of
the
first
,
we
shall
speake
more
herafter
,
Christ
so
willing
,
)
let
vs
vpon
the
wordes
note
,
that
the
Fathers
,
Patriarkes
and
Prophets
,
albeit
they
are
of
the
prophet
here
called
,
and
that
truly
(
holy
)
yet
did
not
their
holinesse
demerit
such
great
treasures
,
and
heauenly
fruitfulnesse
,
eyther
for
their selues
or
their
posterity
,
as
by
his
words
he
here
expresseth
.
But
sayth
the
prophet
(
well
instructed
in
the
doctrine
of
truth
)
the
Lorde
was
there
vnto
brought
towardes
our
Fathers
,
by
his
mere
mercy
,
that
wyth
them
he
should
make
so
Solempne
and
Honorable
a
couenaunt
.
And
if
the
Fathers
whose
holinesse
the
sacred
Scriptures
so
much
recounteth
,
had
not
wherwyth
to
meritte
the
couenaunt
of
peace
wyth
God
,
Where
shall
theyr
Chyldren
obteyne
suche
pryce
.
Naye
,
such
as
haue
sought
by
theyr
worthynesse
and
Obedience
to
the
Lawe
,
set
downe
by
the
LORDE
in
his
woorde
,
to
haue
Iustification
without
measure
,
because
of
their
numbered
vertues
,
suche
I
saye
haue
loste
that
they
sought
for
,
nor
could
atteyne
to
that
they
would
,
to
saye
deliuerance
from
their
Spirituall
Enemies
,
and
to
be
accompted
iust
before
the
Lorde
,
the
Apostle
so
witnesseth
saying
.
[
](A19257-e13820-b)(a)
(a)
Rom
9.30.31
.
Israell
which
followed
the
Lawe
of
righteousnesse
,
coulde
not
atteyne
to
the
Lawe
of
Righteousnesse
,
because
they
sought
it
not
by
Fayth
,
but
as
it
were
by
the
workes
of
the
Lawe
,
for
they
haue
stombled
at
the
stombling
stoane
,
that
is
,
they
are
offended
at
the
Christe
which
GOD
hath
set
to
be
the
Righteousnesse
for
his
people
,
and
refusinge
him
and
his
merites
,
they
rest
vppon
the
shyuering
staffe
of
their
imagined
holynesse
.
But
the
Gentilles
(
sayth
Paule
)
which
folowed
not
righteousnes
haue
atteined
vnto
righteousnes
,
euen
the
righteousnes
that
is
of
faith
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
true
righteousnes
which
cannot
be
bought
by
desert
,
but
is
atteined
by
faith
in
the
promise
of
God
.
Here
let
our
enemies
the
papists
wey
well
with
them selues
how
far
they
are
from
the
sense
of
truth
.
If
the
holy
fathers
accepted
with
God
in
great
fauor
receiued
not
otherwise
,
them
by
his
mercies
his
promised
christ
,
&
in
him
their
saluation
&
ful
deliuerance
,
&
also
if
they
séeking
him
vnfeynedly
with
sinceritie
of
harte
,
came
so
far
short
of
merit
,
the
had
not
the
exhibiting
mercy
,
preuented
his
prouoked
iustice
the
same
our
fathers
had
perishe
.
How
then
can
they
,
or
man
or
angell
for
them
,
obteine
for
vs
saluation
,
or
remission
of
our
sinnes
,
by
any
merit
that
can
procéede
from
a
creature
or
creaturs
?
The
merits
of
the
papistes
,
Popish
merites
.
are
eyther
the
weight
of
their
Massing
Sacrifyces
,
the
bloud
of
Martyres
,
the
absolute
power
of
theyr
Pope
,
or
that
(
which
they
thinke
)
neuer
fayleth
,
the
good
workes
of
men
.
men
.
As
for
the
meritte
of
their
masse
,
out
of
all
question
,
it
meriteth
neyther
pardon
with
God
the
father
,
nor
place
in
the
church
of
christ
his
sonne
.
But
it
being
vsed
doth
derogate
(
as
much
as
it
may
)
the
Power
of
Christ
whiche
alone
of
God
is
set
vp
,
to
&
for
his
church
in
Dauids
house
:
and
arrogateth
the
honor
of

to

But

geue

wordes

plainely
perceiue

that

hath
for

not

taken
away
from

&

of

,
but
hath
therewith
abrogated
,
the
solempne

commaunded
by
himselfe
in

and
also
hath
taken
away
(
for

all
power
from
any

or

to
set
vp
,
any
other

thereof
:
wherefore
he
sayth
by

And
in

hée
denyeth
that

commaunded

can

preuayle
,
because
that
the

Sacrifyce
Christ
Iesus
is

of

and

they
were
Fygures

Vers

And
also
denyeth
that
this

is
any
more
to
be
Offered
,
but
playnely
affyrmeth
hym
after
that
his

Oblation
,
to

for

at

be

And
that
all
men
might
be
Satisfyed

he
addeth
a
reason
wherefore
,
saying
[

(c)

for
wyth

verses
following
,
and
so
concludeth
vp
his
Assertion
.
That
since
Christ
Iesus
hath
thus
redéemed
vs
,
[
](A19257-e14090-b)(a)
(a)
Heb.
10.17
.
there
is
no
more
Offering
for
sinne
of
one
or
other
,
but
in
place
thereof
there
is
(
sayth
hée
)
set
vppe
to
and
for
vs
,
an
entering
into
lyfe
by
a
more
beautifull
manner
,
which
hée
there
calleth
a
newe
and
liuing
way
,
prepared
for
vs
through
the
person
Christ
,
which
is
our
hye
Priest
:
who
requireth
not
sacrifice
of
vs
,
Vers
.

but
an
approching
hart
made
pure
in
conscience
and
body
from
sinne
by
fayth
&c.
Therefore
away
wyth
your
Popishe
trash
,
your
masking
masses
can
no
longer
shaddowe
the
trueth
.
Further
I
pray
you
,
whether
doth
God
at
any
time
accept
the
man
for
the
Sacrifyce
,
or
the
Sacrifyce
for
the
man
?
I
trow
the
Text
sayth
,
that
God
regarded
not
[
](A19257-e14120-b)(a)
(a)
Gen.
4.4
.
Cayn
,
or
his
Sacrifyce
,
and
contrarily
he
accepted
Habell
and
his
Oblation
:
which
sturred
vp
Cayn
his
wrath
to
kill
his
Brother
Habell
.
Here
it
is
plaine
,
God
respecteth
first
the
man
,
and
then
his
sacrifice
,
if
the
man
be
not
acceptable
,
his
sacrifyce
is
abhominable
,
as
in
the
Prophet
[

Esay
,
the
Lord
reproueth
the
Iewes
for
their
paynefull
seruing
in

worshippe
.
and
sayth
,
he
abhorreth
their
deuises
,
and
will
not
turne
towards
them
with
fauor
,
though
their
sacrifices
be
costly
,
because
they
are
sinful
that
offer
them
.
And
the
people
for
whom
they
are
offred
,
are
the
children
of
sinne
,
their
handes
are
full
of
bloud
,
yea
,
&
they
geue
to
God
that
which
he
asketh
not
,
and
therefore
dislyking
vtterly
thereof
,
he
sayth
,
[

who
required
this

And
there
teacheth
them
to

Wicked

them

&
so
will
he
accept
them

their
Oblations
.
Christ

doth
nothing
more
pacifie
the

wrath
,
in
his
most
holy

in
respecte

not

Thus
good

thou

what

Surely
if
neither

,
nor
his

bloud
can
helpe
,
neither
can
his
pardons
any
thing
profite
thée
,
for
they
are
all
of

force
,
&
haue
all
a

I
néede
not

to
stand
in
the
confutation
of
such

of

that
boasteth

The

glorifie

which

This
is
the
voice
of
holy
scripture
,
declaring
the
end
of
good
works
to
be
as
we
haue
said
,
but
that
they
merit
not
,
Paule
playnely
sheweth
to
the
Romanes
,
for
and
to
al
in
the
person
of
Abraham
,
saying
:
if
[
](A19257-e14500-b)(b)

.
&c
Abraham
were
iustified
by
workes
,
he
hath
wherein
to
reioyce
,
but
not
with
God
.
For
what
saith
the
Scripture
?
Abraham
beleeued
God
,
and
it
was
counted
to
him
for
righteousnes
.
Now
to
him
that
worketh
,
the
wages
is
not
counted
by
fauour
but
by
debt
,
hut
to
him
that
worketh
not
(
vz.
to
merit
thereby
)
but
beleueth
in
him
that
iustifieth
the
wicked
,
his
faith
is
counted
for
righteousnes
.
Thus
then
we
sée
,
that
the
fathers
with
vs
haue
not
merited
Christ
our
onely
felicitie
,
but
Gods
mercie
and
loue
surmounting
(
as
I
may
reuerently
say
)
his
iustice
in
iust
wrath
,
hath
not
of
dutie
,
but
by
loue
,
geuen
,
and
not
sold
to
vs
that
beleue
in
him
his
Sonne
Christ
,
that
we
[
](A19257-e14520-b)(c)
(c)
Io.
3.16
.
should
not
perish
,
but
by
him
being
deliuered
from
our
enemies
,
should
haue
euerlasting
life
and
power
in
him
to
serue
him
,
in
this
time
of
our
mortall
flesh
in
all
holines
,
&
vertuous
exercises
before
him
,
al
the
dayes
of
our
life
.
Moreouer
I
note
that
our
Lord
God
will
not
haue
vs
to
dwell
in
vncertainties
for
our
saluation
,
and
therefore
he
sendeth
vs
to
his
written
word
,
where
his
promises
&
couenant
is
by
his
owne
spirit
set
downe
to
all
flesh
,
for
the
which
cause
Zacharie
hath

in
this
verse
to
the

John
also

that
wee
should

beléeue
that
Iesus

the
Christ
the
sonne

,
and
that
in

we
might
haue
life
through
his

.
As
for
the
vnwritten
verities
of
the
Papistes
,
as
they
are
counterfet
and
forged
of

brayne
:
so
can
they
bring
no

to
the

of

or

the

For

saluation
,
which
the

of

by

Last
of

in

let

,
that
not
otherwise
,
them

God

Or

The

Comfortable
when

yet
God
in

In

Considering
that
these
euils
are
to
bée
remoued
,
and
that
swearing
is
not
onely
in
some
respect
of
GOD
permitted
,
but
also
wée
haue
now
heard
commaunded
,
and
is
a
chiefe
part
of
the
true
seruice
and
worshippe
of
our
God
,
let
vs
learne
to
serue
him
herein
in
true
holynesse
and
righteousnesse
,
such
as
may
wel
bée
accepted
before
him
.
The
which
to
do
wée
,
must
obserue
that
rule
in
swearing
which
the
Prophet
geueth
to
euery
man
appointed
to
sweare
,
saying
:
[
](A19257-e15160-b)(a)
(a)
Iere.
4.2
.
Thou
shalt
sweare
(
sayth
he
)
in
truth
,
in
iudgement
,
and
in
righteousnes
.
Foure
poyntes
he
teacheth
vs
to
obserue
in
our
swearing
.
First
that
wée
sweare
by
no
lesse
then
by
the
liuing
God
,
by
no
dead
coniured
cake
or
other
Idoll
.
Secondly
,
that
we
sweare
in
veritate
,
in
truth
,
as
if
he
had
sayd
,
play
not
the
hypocrite
,
sweare
not
with
lippes
alone
,
but
with
the
hart
also
,
séeke
not
by
any
meanes
to
be
deceiued
in
thy
soule
,
or
to
deceaue
others
by
thy
craftines
in
swearing
.
Dare
not
to
pronounce
one
part
of
thy
mind
to
the
hearing
of
the
Iudge
,
and
another
secretly
to
thy selfe
.
As
of
late
a
Minister
ryding
to
his
reuerend
Bishop
for
a
benefice
,
at
his
returne
bostingly
sayd
(
as
I
am
credibly
informed
,
)
that
he
vsed
tofore
him
the
same
cunning
figure
of
defection
called
calliditas
,
which
in
plaine
English
is
lying
craftines
,
swearing
outwardly
to
subscribe
&c.
and
softly
saying
to
himself
,
as
far
forth
as
they
are
warranted
&c.
Now
surely
,
to
haue
safe
warrant
of
God
,
is
necessarie
for
our
subscription
in
doctrine
,
but
to
sweare
to
obserue
and
to
[
](A19257-e15240-b)(a)
(a)
Ro.
22.23
allow
of
that
whereof
hée
standeth
in
doubt
,
is
a
halting
with
God
,
a
mocking
of
men
,
and
a
manifest
shew
of
an
ill
conscience
in
him
that
vseth
the
same
,
which
can
not
bee
farre
from
the
curse
of
God
.
Ro.
14.23
Sweare
truly
therefore
,
let
heart
and
tongue
goe
together
,
and
vouch
both
one
thing
,
els
thou
doest
heape
Gods
wrath
vppon
thine
owne
head
.
The
third
poynt
of
swearing
is
to
sweare
in
iudicio
,
that
is
,
with
discretion
,
not
rashly
or
ouerlightly
,
but
first
weighing
the
cause
why
he
sweareth
,
the
matter
which
by
oth
he
is
to
witnesse
,
the
good
that
may
come
therof
,
and
the
wrath
of
God
following
false
swearing
:
he
is
to
sweare
truely
,
that
which
hee
himselfe
knoweth
by
sight
,
or
self
hearing
,
and
not
to
leane
vpon
other
mens
reportes
.
Furthermore
,
let
no
man
frame
himselfe
to
sweare
for
trifling
things
or
lightly
prouoked
,
but
in
mere
necessitie
,
&
then
with
graue
consideration
and
reuerent
regard
of
Gods
presence
,
before
whom
wée
all
stand
,
whose
eyes
behold
the
déedes
of
all
men
,
whose
eares
receaue
the
whispering
spéech
of
the
déepe
dissembling
harte
.
Tremble
therefore
to
sweare
for
light
matters
,
or
at
euery
mans
first
perswasion
,
for
an
oth
is
the
extreme
poynt
of
Gods
ordinance
to
bée
vsed
of
men
,
and
before
Magistrates
to
banish
braules
and
contention
,
and
to
conserue
the
peace
and
vtilitie
of
his
church
.
The
fourth
and
last
poynt
is
,
that
wée
sweare
in
Justicia
.
Let
not
your
othes
,
sayth
he
,
be
contrary
to
right
and
godlines
,
but
thereby
séeke
to
geue
to
euery
man
that
which
of
right
is
due
vnto
him
,
whether
in
cases
pertayning
to
God
,
to
godly
Magistrates
,
or
to
any
other
sorts
of
men
.
And
let
the
loue
of
God
,
and
of
eour
Christian
brethren
,
wyth
regard
of
the
onely
truth
,
hée
alwayes
your
guide
in
swearing
,
and
not
the
faces
of
sinfull
men
.
In
any
case
beware
of
too
much
credite
in
other
men
,
geue
thy selfe
his
true
Iusticia
,
that
is
to
say
,
let
thine
owne
eyes
,
thy
reason
,
thy
conscience
,
thy
faith
,
thy
honestie
,
thy
person
,
with
his
name
,
fame
,
and
crauing
credite
,
kéepe
him selfe
subiect
to
the
Lord
his
God
in
holines
,
and
righteousnes
,
in
the
middle
of
the
euill
world
,
al
the
dayes
of
thy
lyfe
.
Farre
bée
it
from
thée
to
become
the
slaue
of
the
riche
in
thy
swearing
,
the
foresworne
tenaunt
of
thy
leude
prouoking
landlord
,
or
a
chayned
lumpe
of
flesh
to
the
bones
of
thy
kindred
,
by
such
meanes
,
or
any
wayes
else
to
bée
caried
from
the
truth
,
to
the
hurt
of
an
other
,
though
hée
bée
thine
enemie
,
or
to
the
condemnation
of
thine
owne
soule
,
by
a
false
othe
to
purchase
thy
friend
his
pleasure
.
Finally
if
thou
shalt
embrace
that
which
here
thou
art
exhorted
vnto
,
and
shalt
abhorre
that
which
thou
readest
here
forbidden
of
God
,
thou
shalt
in
such
swearing
blesse
his
name
,
and
he
shall
acknowledge
thée
for
his
child
,
and
in
his
Christ
shall
defend
thée
from
the
force
and
rage
of
the
mighty
wicked
in

Impes

state

to
stoppe

ioyes
that
wée
are
to
conceiue
in

most
comfortable
Christ
.
The
first
imphe
is

the
seconde
is

haue
prepared

.
But
from
them
both
the
Lorde
in
his
great
mercie
,
hath

and
doth
deliuer

And
with
the
truth
of

Gospel
,
by
such
habilitie
,
as
he
geueth
to

and
ministerie
,
in

ouertake

wylinesse
of

aduersaries
,
that
their

bookes
are
in
euery
respect
learnedly

made

The

should

I
thinke
it

as

I
answere
I
lament
both
the

yet
here

The
Gentilles
then
as
some
papistes
doe
now
,
sayde
the
christians
are
troublesome
and
contentious
,
they
cannot
agrée
about
their
christ
and
his
religion
,
but
we
:
holde
one
vnitie
in
our
profession
,
therefore
they
offer
vs
more
then
great
cause
,
to
haue
in
suspence
our
hast
to
subscribe
to
their
professed
Gospel
.
Yet
all
this
their
friuolous
speches
set
a
part
,
both
the
Apostles
and
others
wyth
them
at
that
present
,
ioyning
in
the
sinceritie
of
the
professed
trueth
,
were
of
the
true
church
of
God
.
Also
that
church
whereout
these
wicked
Sectories
,
&
Heritykes
came
,
was
that
,
and
the
best
beloued
Wyfe
the
Church
of
Iesus
Christ
,
notwithstanding
such
contentions
and
variable
mindes
,
as
then
that
state
caryed
to
the
posteritie
.
And
euen
so
is
our
church
now
holding
fast
the
substance
of
Doctrine
geuen
by
the
scriptures
,
and
the
administration
of
the

,
according

the

for

,
so
doe
both

striue
to
be
far
from

affects
.
This
our
Church
also
I
say
,
of
and
in

,
is
the
true
church
of

,
&

Thys
is
the
Lordes
Heritage

their
ryghteousnesse
is

Thus

to

great
cause
of

agaynst

be
set

let

I
say
)
stand

And
let

looke

end
of

,
which
they
cast

But
thou
wilt
say
,
why
doth
the
Lord
suffer
so
long
our
weake
consciences
to
be
troubled
with
these
contending
strifes
?
What
art
thou
(
O

that

These

in

Schismes
of

are
but
as

Waite

learne
thy

framed
by
firme
hope
in
truth
,
which
Micah
hath
taught
the

of

,
alwayes
in
her

to
sing
,
&
thou
shalt
be
relieued
though

And
thus
much

the

of

,
in

I
haue

Secondly
we

perceiue
the

who
doth
not

forgiue

enritcheth

the
wicked
part
from
their
ill
,
their
sinnes
the
lord
putteth
quite
out
of
his
remembrance
.
Now
as
of
Zacharies
person
hitherto
we
haue
bestowed
the
vew
of
gods
mercy
towards
him
:
So
let
vs
consider
now
his
propheticall
wordes
,
to
,
&
concerning
the
purpose
of
God
in
this
Baptist
.
Thus
he
saith
:
And
thou
little
babe
shalt
be
called
the
Prophet
of
the
highest
.
&c.
By
these
words
we
are
put
in
mind
stil
of
Gods
aboundant
mercy
,
in
his
Christ
,
who
not
only
maketh
Zacharie
an
old
&
comfortable
father
:
but
openeth
also
vnto
him
the
arcane
counsel
of
his
diuine
disposition
.
And
by
the
spirit
of
prophecy
,
assureth
him
and
the
Church
committed
to
him
of
the
heauenly
benefite
,
their
spirituall
deliuerance
in
this
Christ
their
true
Messias
,
of
whom
this
little
babe
that
yet
can
nothing
say
shal
be
the
most
noble
preacher
and
Prophet
.
When
hée
calleth
him
the
Lords
Prophet
,
he
acknowledgeth
him
to
be
the
interpreter
of
the
lords
Law
and
Oracles
,
the
Doctor
and
preacher
in
&
to
the
Church
of
God
,
by
whose
mouth
the
Lord
him selfe
speaketh
to
the
same
,
opening
to
them
his
secretes
,
and
manifesting
his
holy
will
,
as
appeareth
by
that
which
followeth
:
To
geue
knowledge
of
Saluation
.
&c.
Which
prophecie
of
the
father
was
fulfilled
in
his
sonne
the
Baptist
,
in
the
the
first
yeare
of
Tiberius
,
at
which
time
Christ
was
about
thirtie
yeres
of
age
.
[
](A19257-e18120-b)(a)
(a)
Mat.
3.1.2
.
And
John
began
to
preach
publiquely
saying
,
Repent
for
the
kingdome
of
God
is
at
hand
.
Two
notable
thinges
in
the
wordes
of
this
his
text
he
promiseth
to
his
sonne
,
by
his
warrant
receiued
from
God
.
First
that
albeit
he
be
in
respect
of
natures
worke
,
and
the
worldes
reputation
,
but
a
small
child
,
and
of
lowe
degrée
,
yet
hath
the
lord
chosen
&
appointed
him
from
his
cradell
:
nay
,
before
his
creation
[

(b)
Luc.
1.13
.
to
be
the
instrument
most
apt
to
the
Lordes
labour
.
The
second
is
the
nature
of
his
office
,
which
is
to
prepare
&
make
[
](A19257-e18150-b)(a)

.
straight
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
as
the
Angel
before
had
sayd
to
Zacharie
in
the
vision
.
Who
being
corrected
for
his
doutfulnes
assured
him selfe
,
and
others
,
most
constantly
of
the
Lordes
promise
,
which
was
,
that
this
holy
Prophet
the
Baptist
should
be
great
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
should
not
geue
him selfe
with
the
wicked
Priestes
of
the
earth
,
or
the
false
prophets
of
Israel
,
to
gorge
their
crawes
with
bibbing
cheare
,
but
should
lead
an
austere
&
temperate
diet
,
hauing
his
hart
wholy
set
vpon
his
office
,
which
the
spirit
of
God
selected
him
to
from
his
mothers
wombe
,
[
](A19257-e18160-b)b

that
he
should
turne
the
children
of
Israel
to
their
Lord
God
,
by
that
heroicall
spirite
,
which
God
erst
gaue
to
Helias
:
to
turne
the
harts
of
the
fathers
to
the
children
,
and
the
disobedient
to
the
wisedome
of
the
iust
men
,
to
make
ready
a
people
,
prepared
for
the
lord
.
This
was
the
most
excellent
office
of
the
Baptist
,
in
consideration
wherof

This

Concerning
the

whence

,
is
apparantly
sene
by

namely
that
their
sinnes
be
forgiuen
them
:
Neither
is
there
in
any
one
to
purchase
such
remission
,
for
then
should
not
our
iustification
stand
in
forgiuenes
,
but
in
mans
purchase
,
&
so
god
in
bestowing
life
should
not
giue
vs
his
son
,
but
according
our
merit
,
and
his
debt
,
pay
to

This
is
the
minde
of
our
Prophet
,
saying
.
To
giue
knowledge
.
&c.
If
we
should
aske
of
the
Papistes
,
whereby
we
apprehend
Saluation
?
they
will
say
to
vs
,
partly
by
christ
,
and
partly
by
the
worthinesse
of
mans
workes
.
Such
blasphemies
they
bray
out
of
their
helly
hartes
.
But

)

not
deceiued
by
their
delusions
,
lend
thy selfe
some
leasure
,
to
take
view
for
thy
wealth
of
that
which
here
is
sayd
.
Were
it
that
saluation
could
be
atteyned
by
the
workes
of
the
law
(
as
true
it
is
,
the

he
that
doth
fulfill
the
law
,
shall
lyue
by

law
)
yet
are
there
two
absolute
reasones
,
ouerthrowing
all
meritte
in
man
,
what
,
or
whosoeuer
by
the
Lawe
.
The
firste
is
the
impossibilytie
,
that
is
,
men
to
perfourme
the
Law
.
The
other
is
the
frayltie
of
man
,
which
fulfylling
(
if
he
could
)
yet
can
not
alwayes
stand
frée
from
transgressing
the
Law
of
God
.
And
at
what
time
he
falleth
,
his
righteousnes
tombleth
downe
with
himselfe
in
to
the
dyche
,
and
so
frustrate
is
his
vaine
trust
,
before
reposed
in
his
owne
holines
.
For
the
first
,
he
that
shall
by
the
works
of
the
Lawe
become
iust
before
God
,
must
in
hearte
be
pure
from
Sinne
,
for
as
out
of
a
filthy
puddle
can
naturally
come
no
swéete
water
,
so
out
of
a
wicked
hart
can
procéede
no
pure
action
,
nor
is
God
pacified
from
wrath
by
any
worke
which
procéedeth
from
a
sinfull
and
a
corrupted
conscience
.

Finally
the
wisedome
of

is
death
,
and
is
at

So
that
I
conclude
with
Paule
,
that
they
which
be
in
the
flesh
(
and
that
is
euery
Popishe
iusticiarie
)
cannot
please
God
.
Wherfore
since
the
founteine
of
mans
harte
is
corrupt
and
poysoned
,
what
pleasant
action
can
proceede
from
his
conduites
?
But
ye
will
say
,
the
regenerate
man
,
meriteth
.
Yet
Paule
sayth
to
the
man
regenerate
,
what
hast
thou
that
thou
hast
not
receiued
?
I
suppose
Paule
was
regenerate
,
when
he
wrot
his
Epistle
to
the
Romanes
and
yet
he
of
himselfe
sayth
that
his
hart
is
combred
wyth
the
Canker
of
sinne
.
So
that
he
dare
not
boast
of
meritte
,
but
rather
cryeth
out
,
for
woe
agaynst
that
guylt
of
his
Regenerate

Now
let
vs
speak
of
the
second
branch
,
that
is
of

impossibility
to
stand
alwayes

.
The
Scripture
saith

he
neuer
so
pefect
,
that
alwaies
continueth

I
aske
,
where
shall
we
finde
the
meriting
man
?
or
who
shall
dare
to
present
him
before
the
Lorde
,
the
reuenger
of
sin
?
Or
yet
what
is
he
that
can
deliuer
himselfe
from
the
danger
of
Gods
Curse
,
due
to
his
transgressions
?
Vaine
therefore
,
and
diuelish
is
the
confidence
in
such
Popish
doctrine
,
and
pernicious
is
the
euill
which
this
opinion
bringeth
to
the
soule
,
and
great
is
the
iniurie
by
it
committed
against

The

But
cast
thy

at

that

in

ende

The

pointe
is

to
note
whose

so
consequenly
what
kinde
of

albeit
that

to

that

Gods
power
to

And
God
him selfe
standeth
on

So
that
it

more
possible
for

to
become

,
good
euill
,
and
euill
good
,
which
neuer

:
then
that
the
Lordes
people
should
not
be
deliuered
from
death
,
or
yet
want
the
knowledge
of
their
saluation
.
Which
knowledge
teacheth
them
to
féele
in
hart
and
find
by
truth
,
that
the
same
sauing
health
consisteth
not
in
their
remuneration
,
but
commeth
of
god
:
(
for
his
Christs
sake
)
by
full
remission
of
and
from
all
their
sinnes
.
The
Lord
graunt

,

that

may

Then
shall
we
be
sure
of

in

our
Sauiour
.
And
thus
much
for
these
wordes
his
people
,
in
this
present
verse
mentioned
.
The
third
&
last
branch
of
this
verse
is
,
to
consider
by
what
meanes
his
people
are
brought
to
féel
&
perceiue
that
their
saluation
doth
consist
in
the
remission
geuen
of
god
Namely
by
this
,
that
the
same
is
made
knowne
to
their
consciences
,
by
the
ministerie
of
the
word
preached
vnto
them
.
For
all
if

they

soueraigne

sinne

which

Yet

shall

Christ
promiseth

as

hereto

This
shal
they

saith
he
,
because

Paule
the
Apostle
testifieth
this
to
be
the
meane
to

,
euen
to
come
to
the
knowledge

Thereto

Lo:
a
thing
most
incident

is
to
haue

To
conclude
,
who
are

but
his

And
what
are
they
taught

but
the
truth
of

word
?
Which
he
writeth
with
his
finger
in
their

,
as
the
scripture
saith
,
that
they
may
be
a
knowing
people
,
and
not
ignorant
as
the
Papistes
teach
,
but
falsely
,
the
same
to
be
the
mother

But
Christ
sayth
,
that
ignorance
is

the

verses
whereof
the
first
followeth

[
](A19257-e22290-b)a
a
Io.
3.16
.
The
first
is
,
that
by
the
only
mercy
of
God
without
the
merit
of
man
,
Christ
our
Sauiour
is
giuen
to
vs
,
as
himselfe
testifieth
,
in
the
third
of
Iohn
saying
:
So
dearely
God
loued
the
world
that
hee
gaue

onely
begotten
Sonne

Without
our
merit
gaue

heauenly

his

he
saued

Vpon
the
which
most
mercifull
acte
he
perswadeth
vs
,
that
now
much
more
sence
we
belong
to
him
,
will
he
deliuer
vs
from
wrath
.
The
second
note
is
,
that
albeit
God
in
his
great
mercy
hath
so
copiously
enritched
vs
with
the
hidden
treasure
of
ful
remission
from
al
our
sinnes
:
yet
hath
he
therwith
nothing
impared
his
iustice
,
but
hath

the
merit

conception
and
ioined

.
He
tooke

person
of

vppon
him
,
which
could
be
subiecte
to
the
crosse
,
and
aptly
receiued
the
curse
due
thereto
for
our
iniquitie
,
and
accept
to
the
ful
,
the
fury
of
his
fathers
iust
conceiued
wrath
.
In
which
body
[
](A19257-e22350-b)(e)

he
did
fully
beare
the
same
vpon
the
crosse
in
his
bitter
death
,
at
what
time
the
angrie
countinance
of
his
God
,
with
the
full
paines
of
hell
,
for
mans
sin
was
wholy
laide
vpon
him
:
hee
was
compelled
with
vehemency
to
cry

God
,
why
haste

forsaken

?
The
fruite
of
this
death
is
such
that
as
no
one
of
vs
hath
put
our
hand
to
this
crosse
,
with
him
to
cary
his

wrath
for

:
so
hath

Further
to
vs
our
Saluation

most
frée
:

price
,
it
is
the
ful
satisfaction
of
the
fathers
iustice
,
and
the
valour
is
the
bloud
and
death
of
our
redéemer
Christ
Iesus
.
The
end
is
that
we
being
deliuered
from
sinne
(
c
)
should
depart
from
iniquitie
,
and
dedicat
our selues
to
the
lord
in
newnesse
of
life
as
chilldren
redemed
from
sin
&
death
.
Regard
with
feare
therefore
,
thy
Christ
hys
death
,
yeeld
not
thy self
to
sathans
snare
,
for
he
that

by
wilfull
lustes
wil
treade
his
death
vnder
his
féete
,
cannot
be
partaker
of
his
glory
and
lyfe
.
The
third
thing
to
obserue
is
the
allusion
which
our
Prophet
vseth
in
this
place
to
the
former
prophesies
,
calling
him
the
day
spring
,
or
as
other
the
learned
translate
the
word
,
a
Braunch
.
For
the
former
translation
great
comfort
is
giuen
therby
to
thée
(
deare
reader
)
the
word
rightly
considered
in
such
sence
as
it
ought
,
that
is
to
vnderstand
by
Oriens
not
the
place
wher
the
Sonne
riseth
,
but
the
Sonne
himself
,
&
so
doth

vse

metaphorical
spech
,
when
he
calleth

I

And
where
as
the
Lord

cutteth
those
Leuits
from
his
Alter

,
and
the

of
the
Priest
,
which
fell
to

,
he
doth
not

&
this
shall
be
a

&
made
an

before

and
if
wel
we
weigh
whose
office
it
was
in
that
congregation
to
offer
vp
sacrifice
,
we
shall
further
touch
Aaron
his
person
,
as
also
Moises
séemeth
to
lay
the
whole
crime
vppon
him
.
Aaron
not
remoued
from
the
priesthood
notwithstanding
his
great
sinne
in
Idolatry
.
Yet
behold
the
great
mercy
of
God
in
the
time
of
the
law
.
Nor
is
Aaron
by
god

lord
,
or

,
that
this
law
was
to
the
Iewish
priesthod
,
&
not
to
vs
:
&
the
shrinking
subscribing
hands
of
men
most
famous
in
the
ministery
rightly
measured
with
the
aboundant
gifts
of
gods
spirite
,
to
them
,
after
repentance
giuen
of
god
,
to
seale
his
good
like
of
their
elected
place
,
&
continuance
in
the
function
of
the
ministery
,
aswel
to
his
Apostle
Peter
as
to
sundry
his
excelent
disciples
in
our
,
times
giueth
not
a
little
comfort
to
those
in
that
predicament
,
notwithstanding
the
seuere
censure
of
sundry
zealous
and
learned
persons
.
I
purpose
not
at
all
to
fauour
such
popish
Masse
priestes
,
whose
hartes
remayning
without
Religion
,
haue
and
doe
frame
themselues
to
euery
chaunge
,
thereby
to
satisfy
their
lucring
lust
:
for
these
béeing
onely
Temporarii
,
are
not
in
any
sort
tollerable
in
the
holy
ministerie
of
Christes
worde
and
sacraments
:
neyther
yet
to
support
such
Queene
Maries
priestes
,
as
béeinge
in
her
darcke
raigne
admitted
by
that
Popishe
ennoyling
,
do
yet
with
the
former
,
couer
their
nowe
Idolatrous
hartes
,
with
the
mantell
of
externe
obedience
.
But
if
so
it
be
,
that
God
in
his
great
mercy
haue
fully
altered
,
and
to
him selfe
by
him selfe
chaunged
the
hartes
of
some
of
these
,
and
called
the
Persons
as
extraordynarily
,
(
which
may
be
perceiued
by
his
giftes
and
Spirite
in
them
,
)
then
I
sée
not
,
after
their
publique
confession
,
and
time
of
tryall
,
(
which
were
very
necessary
)
why
eyther
the
Church
should
refuse
to
readmitte
them
to
the
ministerie
of
the
Gospell
,
or
any
the
children
should
impugne
such
their
godly
Mothers
recepte
.
For
this
cause
was
[

Paule
receyued
to
mercy
,
that
Iesus
Christe
should
firste
shewe
vppon
him
all
longe

,
to
the
example
of
them
,
which
in
time
to
come
should
beléeue
in
Christ
,
to
eternall
lyfe
.
This
mercy
,
note
(
good
Reader
)
is
not
ended
,
when
Paule
is
thereby
receyued
to
grace
,
but
it
contynueth
(
and
that
for
our
comfortable
example
)
admittinge
that
persecuting
Conuerte
,
to
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
.
And
as
the
Gospell
yéeldeth
grace
to
this
our
conuert
:
So
the
law
is
not
altogether
voyd
of
fauour
the
slyding
Prieste
Aaron
,
as
before
.
Neyther
yet
doe
I
speake
to
confyrme
the
generall
Troupe
of
the
Idolatrous
priestes
admitted
,
especially
sithe
they
haue
not
turned
to
the
LORDE
,
vntill
the
mighty
God
hath
taken
from
them
their
vaine
trust
,
and
placed
againe
hys
trewe
Religion
,
which
Priestes
haue
continewed
till
the
day
by
Lawe
set
,
in
their
massinge
,
and
wishe
the
same
yet
in
harte
,
in
the
middle
of
theyr
ministration
,
these
wheresoeuer
they
be
,
I
doe
lament
that
so
they
are
and
cannot
by
law
as
yet
be
remoued
.
But
I
only
set
downe
my
dislike
of
this
opinion
,
that
if
once
a
Quéene
Maries
priest
,
or
King
Henries
and
Kyng
Edwardes
Priest
(
so
they
bée
termed
)
then
can
they
not
in
any
case
,
howsoeuer
beautified
with
spiritual
giftes
,
or
conuerted
in
conscience
,
be
admitted
to
the
function
of
the
ecclesiasticall
ministerie
.
As
I
willingly
confesse
that
ther
may
because
of
distrust
into
the
most
of
such
:
So
yet
I
cannot
achieue
the
sight
of
this
,
that
from
all
such
the
grace
of
God
is
so
farre
shortened
.
If
through
repentance
by
his
holy
spirite
they
be
purely
sanctified
and
accompted
in
Gods
sight
for
his
sonne
Christ
,
in
whom
they
beleue
,
as
if
they
had
remained
innocent
:
Why
shuld
the
seueritie
of
men
in
earth
shut
from
the
ministerie
in
his
Church
,
those
whom
his
mercy
from
the
heauens
hath
receiued
as
most
deare
to
himselfe
?
Or
yet
from
the
pastorall
office
such
persons
as
the
Lord
accompteth
innocent
?
But
it
may
bée
sayd
the
Church
is
offended
at
them
,
they
therfore
cannot
profite
the
congregation
.
I
say
,
the
godly
in
the
church
doe
respect
the
gospell
,
which
the
man
bringeth
,
and
not
the
man
his
messenger
,
neither
shall
the
wicked
reprobate

be
holpen
by
the
purest
minister
,
or
yet
the
children
of
adoptton
be
hindered
or
want
their
promised
commoditie
in
the
weakest
pastor
.
Could
the
Israelites
be
ignorant
of
Aarons
fal
?
or
the
Apostles
and
Church
then
of

deniall
in
the

Whose
crimes
were
not
small
,
yet
was
not
the
one
or
the
other
for
the
offence
of
the
Church
through
their
fall
,
abandoned
the
ministerie
.
These
things
by
occasion
thus
touched
for
thy
tast
and
stay
of
conscience
,
I
hast
to
the
end
of
these
my
labours
,
with
this
last
obseruation
to
whom
it
may
concerne
.
Christ
is
giuen
of
God
his
father
to
geue
light
to
them
that
sit
in
the
darknes
of
error
&
sinne
,
&
to
guide
their
wandring
steps
&
wide
walking
féete
,
into
the
gospel
,
which
is
the
way
of
peace
.
Now
is
the
time
wherein
most
amplie
this
his
office
is
by
his
grace
executed
in
this
nation
,
&
yet
are
there
many
which
hauing
in
the
darknes
of
the
late
persecution
,
séene
and
receiued
great
light
of
the
Gospell
,
are
now
in
cleare
shine
of
the
same
,
either
with
the
Moules
digging
and
dwelling
in
earthly
things
,
and
couet
the
darknes
of
Mammon
,
reseruing
to
Christ
and
his
word
their
lippes
alone
:
Or
els
with
Julian
that
Apostata
,
when
they
should
seale
vp
the
fulnes
of
their
ioye
in
receiuing
their
saluation
sent
,
and
obeying
his
kingdome
present
,
they
as
men
all
wearied
of
eternal
life
,
shut
vp
their
harts
from
the
Lord
therof
,
reiect
his
gospell
,
refuse
their
former
fayth
,
and
returne
to
the
vomite
of
poperie
erst
cast
from
them
.
To
all
such
Christ
is
a
stumbling
stone
,
a
stone
of
offence
,
but
in
déede
to
them
he
is
a
terrible
iudge
to
