Vers.
5.
They
encourage
themselues
in
a
wicked
purpose
,
they
commune
togeather
to
lay
snares
priuily
,
and
say
,
who
shall
see
them
?
6.
They
haue
sought
out
iniquities
,
they
haue
accomplished
that
which
they
sought
out
,
euen
euery
one
in
his
secret
thought
,
and
the
depth
of
his
heart
.
THe
holy
Ghost
,
hauing
in
the
latter
Lords
Annointed
,
by
two
Circumstances
;
The
one
,
That
they
are
suddain
in
execution
,
implying
their
desperatenesse
;
The
other
,
That
they
feare
not
,
arguing
their
boldnesse
and
confidence
in
their
proceedings
,
doth
in
the
two
next
verses
yeeld
a
reason
,
heart
smote
him
with
conscience
of
some
great
euill
,
in
lifting
vp
his
handagainst
the
Lords
Annointed
.
And
when
the
Amalekite
How
wast
thou
not
affraide
to
life
vp
thy
hand
against
the
Annointed
of
the
Lord
?
and
rewards
him
with
such
wages
,
as
so
haynous
a
murther
did
require
.
To
feare
then
in
attempting
against
the
li●e
of
a
Prince
,
as
there
is
great
reason
,
in
regard
of
the
haynousnesse
of
the
sinne
,
and
the
Maiestie
of
the
person
against
whome
it
is
committed
,
so
there
had
neede
be
great
policie
vsed
to
banish
this
feare
.
What
this
policie
was
,
the
holy
Ghost
proceedes
to
relate
vnto
vs
,
in
these
two
verses
following
:
leading
vs
The
first
whereof
,
respecteth
the
manner
of
their
plotting
,
and
it
is
here
set
out
vnto
vs
to
be
two-fold
.
First
,
(
saith
the
spirit
)
They
encourage
themselues
in
a
wicked
purpose
,
they
commune
together
,
wherein
the
meaning
of
the
holy
Ghost
is
,
to
lead
vs
to
a
policie
verie
vsuall
in
great
and
desperate
attempts
,
that
they
are
vndertaken
Secondly
,
whereas
close
carriage
&
conueyance
is
an
especiall
helpe
to
further
dangerous
designes
,
therefore
the
holy
Ghost
addeth
,
that
the
speciall
matter
of
their
counsell
was
,
how
they
might
lay
snares
priuily
,
signifying
therein
,
that
they
did
not
onely
encourage
themselues
by
mutuall
who
shall
see
them
,
that
is
,
they
say
in
effect
,
there
is
no
God
.
Now
,
because
malice
is
insatiable
,
and
yet
iealous
too
,
doubtfull
to
be
discried
,
and
yet
desirous
to
preuaile
;
therfore
behold
,
a
second
policie
in
these
traiterous
practises
,
both
to
delude
secrecie
,
and
more
effectually
to
preuaile
,
they
haue
sought
out
iniquities
(
saith
the
blessed
spirit
)
that
is
,
they
haue
deuised
store
of
snares
,
to
entrap
the
life
of
the
King
,
that
so
if
one
should
faile
,
the
other
might
take
The
snares
being
thus
contriued
in
such
secrecie
&
varietie
,
that
they
haue
accomplished
that
,
which
they
sought
for
,
euen
euery
one
in
his
secret
thought
,
and
in
the
depth
of
his
hart
,
signifying
vnto
vs
thereby
,
thus
much
;
that
what
plots
were
layed
by
the
wicked
against
the
life
of
the
King
,
were
contriued
with
such
secrecie
,
and
managed
with
such
skill
&
variety
,
as
that
the
Contriuers
thereof
,
made
full
account
that
they
should
preuaile
,
though
not
in
the
profession
of
their
mouths
,
lest
they
should
be
descried
,
yet
in
the
depth
and
secret
of
their
hart
,
wherein
they
flattered
themselues
.
And
herevppon
followeth
another
effect
in
the
Saints
Wherein
we
may
behould
the
admirable
wisdome
of
the
lord
,
who
hauing
certainly
determined
to
free
his
seruants
calling
vpon
the
Lord
in
the
day
of
trouble
in
this
full
affiance
of
helpe
in
him
alone
,
they
are
deliuered
by
him
,
that
so
they
may
glorifie
him
,
As
for
that
securitie
suddaine
destruction
shall
come
vpon
them
,
and
they
shall
not
be
able
to
auoyd
it
.
For
so
it
felloweth
in
the
next
words
.
But
God
shall
shoot
an
arrow
at
them
suddenly
&c.
Wherin
For
are
the
wicked
wise
,
and
deliberate
in
plotting
their
enterprises
?
are
they
long
in
weauing
,
&
warie
in
contriuing
?
behold
,
the
Lord
doth
confound
this
their
wisdom
Againe
,
are
the
wicked
subtill
in
deuising
many
stratagems
?
of
at
once
.
Affliction
shall
not
rise
vppon
them
the
second
time
;
who
had
hoped
many
times
to
haue
ensnared
the
Saints
of
God
:
Behold
here
the
multitude
of
their
wicked
conspiracies
confounded
with
one
stroake
of
Gods
righteous
vengeance
.
Thirdly
,
were
they
so
secret
in
the
contriuing
of
their
mischiefes
,
that
they
gaue
it
out
confidently
that
none
shall
see
:
behold
the
spirit
of
God
giues
them
the
lie
,
and
tels
them
playnely
,
that
All
men
shall
see
it
,
yea
,
they
who
had
thought
so
cunningly
to
haue
caried
their
wickednes
,
as
to
haue
gone
clearely
away
with
it
,
the
spirit
tells
them
they
shal
be
discouered
,
and
to
confound
them
the
more
,
in
this
discouery
,
he
tells
them
plainely
,
that
their
owne
tongues
shall
fall
vppon
them
.
They
that
say
,
their
tongues
are
their
owne
,
who
is
Lord
ouer
them
?
shall
now
see
,
that
the
mighty
God
ouer-rules
their
tongues
,
and
makes
them
the
instruments
of
his
glory
,
in
the
discouery
of
sinne
,
and
the
executioners
of
his
vengeance
,
in
the
punishment
of
the
sinner
.
Behold
their
secrecie
,
euen
confounded
from
their
owne
mouthes
.
Lastly
,
do
the
wicked
strengthen
themselues
in
their
mischeifes
by
confederacies
and
leagues
?
Loe
,
the
Lord
whosoeuer
doth
see
them
shall
flye
away
:
Behold
here
the
disvniting
and
breaking
of
their
confederacies
.
The
practices
of
the
wicked
thus
wonderfully
defeated
,
The
holy
Ghost
proceedeth
in
the
two
next
verses
to
informe
vs
in
such
duties
as
concerne
vs
in
this
case
,
All
men
shall
see
it
(
saith
the
blessed
spirit
)
that
is
,
the
eyes
of
all
men
shal
be
fastened
vpon
it
,
to
obserue
and
behold
the
wonderfull
workes
of
God
.
And
whosoeuer
shall
duely
obserue
these
great
workes
of
God
,
and
shall
giue
him
the
reuerence
that
is
due
vnto
his
name
,
for
the
execution
of
so
great
iudgments
,
his
mouth
shal
be
opened
to
declare
the
worke
of
God
,
he
cannot
be
silent
in
a
day
of
so
good
tydings
,
nay
,
he
shall
not
onely
speake
of
what
is
done
,
but
his
vnderstanding
shal
be
convinced
,
that
it
was
not
the
arme
of
flesh
but
the
Lords
owne
doing
,
nay
,
he
what
God
hath
done
.
And
this
vse
shall
euerie
one
make
of
great
deliuerances
.
But
the
righteous
,
who
onely
hath
true
interest
Lords
doing
,
which
is
maruailous
in
his
eyes
,
this
shall
bee
a
meanes
to
make
him
trust
in
God
,
and
thereby
heart
vpright
vnto
the
Lord
his
God
,
hee
shall
againe
reioyce
in
the
greatnesse
of
his
mercie
.
Thus
shall
the
righteous
doe
,
whose
hearts
are
vpright
in
the
Lord
.
Thus
shall
a
great
deliuerance
bee
entertained
by
them
.
Now
,
that
wee
may
approoue
our selues
to
bee
of
the
number
of
these
,
hauing
thus
briefly
deliuered
the
sum
of
the
Scripture
,
let
vs
turne
backe
againe
,
and
consider
the
seuerall
lessons
therein
contained
,
that
so
we
may
lay
them
vnto
our
hearts
,
as
they
lye
in
order
,
and
make
further
application
of
them
,
to
our
building
vp
in
Christ
Iesus
.
And
first
,
let
vs
consider
the
policies
,
whereby
Rebels
and
desperat
persons
so
animate
themselues
in
their
traiterous
practises
,
that
they
are
fearelesse
,
and
exceeding
presumptuous
in
the
deuising
,
and
prosecuting
thereof
.
They
encourage
them selues
&c.
(
saith
the
holy
Ghost
)
past
feeling
,
when
they
shall
say
peace
,
and
securitie
,
and
feare
no
euill
,
then
shall
a
suddaine
destruction
come
vpon
them
,
and
they
shall
not
be
able
to
auoide
it
.
Loe
,
heare
the
wisedome
of
the
wicked
in
this
encouraging
of
themselues
;
and
yet
behold
a
further
depth
of
their
wisedome
in
the
meanes
,
and
manner
of
this
encouragement
,
and
yet
all
tending
to
their
further
confusion
.
These
meanes
I
haue
obserued
to
be
of
two
sorts
;
The
first
are
carnall
,
seruing
onely
to
satisfie
the
flesh
;
but
the
The
Carnall
furtherances
,
to
these
desperate
attempts
First
,
a
combining
and
vniting
of
forces
together
,
by
leagues
,
and
associations
;
and
that
for
diuers
ends
.
First
,
to
giue
credite
vnto
their
attempts
in
regard
force
openly
be
maintained
.
So
did
the
nations
of
the
earth
,
band
themselues
against
the
Lord
,
and
against
his
Annointed
.
So
did
the
Tabernacles
of
Edom
Israelites
,
Moab
with
the
Ammonites
,
Gebal
,
Amelech
,
the
Philistines
,
and
the
rest
,
when
they
sayd
:
Come
&
let
vs
cut
them
off
from
being
a
nation
,
&
let
the
name
of
Israel
be
no
more
in
remembrance
.
So
did
the
enemies
of
God
,
combine
themselues
in
that
vnholy
League
,
euen
in
our
age
,
for
the
rooting
out
of
the
poore
Church
of
God
.
And
so
did
that
viperous
brood
,
thus
incourage
it selfe
by
secret
leagues
and
associations
at
home
,
and
abroad
,
to
ruinate
,
and
destroy
vtterly
the
most
excellent
estate
of
the
blood
Royall
,
the
Church
,
and
Common
wealth
.
And
shall
the
wicked
be
thus
wise
in
their
generation
,
to
strengthen
themselues
in
their
mischiefes
,
against
God
,
and
his
Church
,
by
combining
their
forces
together
:
and
shall
not
wee
which
are
the
children
of
light
,
much
more
be
knit
together
in
the
bond
of
peace
,
that
wee
may
ioyntly
bend
our
strength
against
the
common
enemie
?
shall
the
the
shadowes
separate
vs
,
when
the
substance
is
endangered
?
It
was
a
comfortable
speech
of
Iudah
vnto
Come
vp
with
me
into
my
lot
,
that
wee
may
fight
against
the
Canaanites
,
and
I
likewise
will
goe
vp
with
thee
vnto
thy
lot
,
(
so
,
saith
the
spirit
)
Simeon
went
vp
with
him
.
So
should
brethren
ioyne
together
;
Brethren
against
the
common
enemie
,
that
his
force
may
be
weakned
.
Oh
that
Simeon
and
Iudah
would
thus
ioine
together
for
good
;
as
Simeon
and
Leui
are
brethren
in
euill
.
Onely
let
vs
be
carefull
,
that
we
be
not
yoaked
vnequally
,
that
so
our
coniunction
being
in
the
Lord
,
it
may
be
blessed
of
him
.
A
second
carnall
meanes
,
whereby
the
wicked
are
encouraged
in
euill
purposes
,
is
a
gift
in
the
bosome
,
some
present
to
curse
the
people
of
God
:
So
was
Iudas
hyred
to
betray
his
master
:
Italianated
Diuels
.
Oh
that
we
could
be
as
bountifull
to
good
purposes
,
as
these
are
to
bad
,
that
wee
could
be
as
willing
to
employ
compassing
Land
and
Sea
,
sparing
no
paines
,
neither
to
make
one
of
their
profession
;
though
when
hee
is
made
,
they
make
him
two-fold
more
the
child
of
hell
,
than
they
themselues
.
Certainly
,
if
we
be
not
;
the
thirtie
peeces
of
siluer
,
shall
one
day
condemne
vs
,
and
Math.

Exod.
32.
A
third
carnall
meanes
,
is
hope
of
Honor
&
preferment
.
the
earings
,
&
bracelets
of
the
people
,
which
they
willingly
imparted
to
Idolatrie
,
shall
at
the
day
of
Iudgement
giue
sentence
against
vs
.
A
third
carnall
means
to
encourage
the
wicked
in
their
traiterous
purposes
,
is
the
hope
of
such
honors
and
preferments
as
may
afterward
befall
them
.
Great
is
the
abiectnesse
which
is
incident
into
pride
,
and
the
slauerie
which
ambition
is
subiect
vnto
,
is
intollerable
.
What
wickednesse
is
there
which
the
hope
of
honour
will
not
digest
?
what
danger
is
there
,
which
it
will
not
cause
to
aduenture
?
Let
our
first
Parents
,
be
but
tickled
with
this
hope
that
they
shall
be
like
vnto
God
;
and
they
will
not
sticke
to
commit
that
,
whereby
they
become
subiect
to
the
Diuell
.
Let
Diotrephes
haue
this
spurre
,
and
hee
will
easily
make
shipwracke
Oh
that
our
climing
heads
would
consider
this
:
that
such
pleasant
baites
,
haue
such
deadly
hooks
!
And
seing
there
Carnall
meanes
.
Now
it
followeth
,
that
we
speake
of
the
spirituall
means
.
By
spirituall
meanes
we
vnderstand
such
,
whereby
the
mind
and
conscience
is
in
some
sort
resolued
,
and
seemingly
satisfied
;
but
indeed
deceiued
,
in
the
doing
of
so
great
,
and
outragious
mischiefes
.
For
in
vaine
should
Satan
offer
all
these
carnall
meanes
,
to
perswade
the
attempting
of
such
monstrous
,
and
horrible
actions
vnto
those
,
that
pretend
conscience
,
and
boast
of
exquisitie
perfection
in
all
their
actions
;
if
now
the
conscience
were
vtterly
vnresolued
in
the
lawfulnes
thereof
.
What
policy
then
doth
Satan
vse
to
perswade
the
conscience
.
Surely
,
as
he
is
the
Lords
executioner
to
blind
the
minds
of
such
,
who
not
obaying
the
truth

are
therefore
iustly
giuen
ouer
to
be
deceiued
by
strange
delusions
,
so
as
God
of
this
world
,
doth
he
blind
the
minds
of
Infidels
,
not
only
making
them
to
shut
their
eies
against
the
truth
,
but
further
also
infatuating
their
iudgments
,
that
they
shal
call
darkenesse
light
,
and
light
darkenesse
,
and
so
their
iudgements
being
peruerted
,
he
worketh
vpon
their
affections
,
not
onely
to
mooue
them
to
doe
such
things
as
are
most
inconuenient
,
but
further
so
to
flatter
themselues
in
the
doing
thereof
,
that
in
so
doing
,
they
shall
doe
God
good
seruice
.
So
hath
that
great
deceauer
bewitched
his
followers
,
not
word
of
God
,
and
common
law
of
nature
and
equitie
,
but
further
aduancing
the
fact
to
an
high
degree
of
merit
,
yea
aduancing
the
authors
an
extraordinarie
measure
of
glorie
,
for
this
their
abhominable
act
of
the
murther
he
bindes
them
to
the
same
euen
by
the
straightest
bonds
of
their
religion
.
We
read
of
the
souldiers
that
lay
in
wait
for
Paul
,
that
they
bound
themselues
by
an
oath
,
that
they
would
not
eat
,
before
they
bad
depriued
him
of
his
life
.
But
this
man
of
sinne
,
is
not
content
only
with
an
oath
,
but
their
vowes
must
further
by
the
sacrament
of
the
body
and
blood
of
our
Lord
Iesus
,
that
so
they
may
more
desperatly

Oh
that
we
were
wise
to
consider
these
things
!
That
seing
the
verdict
of
the
conscience
is
the
warrant
of
euery
action
,
and
yet
the
conscience
may
be
so
informed
,
as
to
knowledge
to
the
worde
of
God
,
so
there
is
none
to
this
,
to
informe
the
conscience
.
And
seing
that
obedience
to
this
blessed
word
of
God
,
is
the
only
meanes
to
haue
this
sauing
knowledge
continued
vnto
vs
,
labour
wee
in
the
feare
of
God
to
make
conscience
of
this
obedience
,
that
so
the
conscience
may
not
be
giuen
vp
to
such
strong
delusions
;
And
seeing
that
the
knowledge
of
the
doctrine
of
obedience
,
oh
let
vs
not
harken
to
that
diuelish
polycy
,
which
sayth
,
that
where
the
people
are
ignorant
,
there
they
may
be
best
ruled
,
but
where
they
are
full
of
knowledge
,
there
they
grow
busie
,
and
will
prooue
seditious
.
But
let
vs
endeauour
,
that
the
word
of
God
may
dwell
plentifully
among
vs
;
that
therin
performing
obedience
vnto
God
,
we
may
also
be
blessed
in
our
obedience
vnto
man
:
Let
it
no
more
be
said
,
that
ignorance
is
the
mother
of
deuotion
,
but
let
it
now
appeare
that
ignorance
is
the
mother
of
rebellion
.
And
if
this
be
a
case
of
conscience
to
lay
hands
vpon
the
Lords
annoynted
.
Oh
let
vs
take
●●ede
of
the
cloake
of
religion
,
which
may
be
a
broker
to
such
vile
practices
.
Let
vs
not
feare
the
curses
of
such
an
accursed
religion
,
whose
vowes
and
sacraments
imployed
to
the
strengthening
and
encouraging
of
such
damnable
mischeifes
,
do
necessarily
draw
downe
a
curse
,
&
not
a
blessing
therevpon
.
Yea
detest
we
vtterly
such
an
abhominable
religion
,
whose
foundation
is
treason
,
and
whose
practice
is
blood-sheding
And
in
the
name
of
God
proceede
wee
couragiously
to
the
rooting
out
thereof
:
that
so
,
the
more
they
curse
,
and
rage
against
the
Lords
ordinance
,
the
more
the
Lord
may
blesse
,
and
prosper
the
same
,
vp
the
measure
of
their
sinne
,
that
so
the
Lord
may
consume
them
with
the
power
of
his
comming
.
Distrust
we
from
hence
forth
all
popish
holines
,
which
is
to
be
approoued
forraine
subiection
;
from
the
bottome
of
our
hearts
renounce
we
all
such
vsurped
power
,
which
thus
exaltes
it selfe
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
,
&
thus
controwling
the
woorde
,
and
abusing
the
meanes
of
Gods
worship
to
such
horrible
purposes
,
presumeth
and
iustifyeth
the
remoouall
of
the
Lords
annoynted
.
It
followeth
.
They
commune
togeather
to
lay
snares
priuily
,
and
say
,
who
shall
see
them
.
Behold
,
here
a
second
policie
,
whereby
the
wicked
confirme
them selues
in
their
desperate
practices
against
the
Lords
Annoynted
,
namely
,
the
secret
plotting
,
&
conueyance
thereof
.
And
this
very
fitly
,
in
regard
of
the
sinne
,
and
also
very
iustly
in
respect
of
the
sinner
.
For
as
euery
sin
is
a
worke
of
darknes
,
as
well
in
that
it
hates
the
light
,
and
delights
to
be
committed
in
darkenes
,
as
also
,
in
that
it
is
Satans
to
vtter
darkenes
;
so
,
is
also
this
sinne
of
treason
,
and
rebellion
aginst
the
Lords
Annoynted
.
And
,
as
other
sinners
desire
to
be
hatcht
in
darkenes
,
both
feare
of
punishment
which
attends
the
same
:
so
also
in
these
respects
,
this
sin
of
treason
,
delights
in
secrecie
,
both
,
in
that
it
is
an
odious
and
monstrous
sinne
,
and
therefore
is
ashamed
to
be
knowen
,
but
especially
,
because
,
how
soeuer
other
sins
may
go
scotfree
in
this
life
,
yet
this
hath
a
seuere
punishment
iustly
assigned
therevnto
,
the
feare
whereof
doth
necessarily
impose
this
secrecie
:
And
herein
especially
Satans
cunning
appeare
;
that
,
whereas
he
hath
a
purpose
by
this
sin
,
to
bring
traytors
to
their
vtter
confusion
,
therefore
,
doth
he
principally
further
this
their
secrecie
heerevnto
.
For
,
whereas
sinne
being
not
iudged
in
this
life
,
shall
certainly
be
iudged
in
the
life
to
come
:
therefore
,
by
this
secrecie
,
doth
he
flatteer
these
monsters
,
for
the
auoiding
of
temporall
iudgments
,
that
so
,
either
auoyding
them
here
,
they
may
be
sure
to
meet
with
them
in
another
life
;
to
goe
clerely
away
with
it
,
in
regard
of
the
suddainesse
and
vnexpectednesse
of
the
same
:
and
also
that
the
contriuers
thereof
,
hauing
accomplished
their
wicked
purposes
.
may
yet
notwithstanding
auoid
such
punishments
as
are
due
vnto
them
.
They
commune
together
to
lay
snares
priuily
,
and
they
say
,
who
can
see
them
?
That
is
,
they
consult
together
to
doe
their
feat
secretly
,
and
in
their
vnknowne
practises
,
they
blesse
their
soules
,
and
say
,
that
none
shall
see
them
,
They
shall
not
know
who
hurt
them
.
Loe
here
,
a
second
policie
of
the
wicked
in
laying
their
snares
,
that
which
they
doe
,
shal
be
done
secretly
,
that
so
it
may
clenly
,
and
without
danger
be
conuayed
.
And
that
wee
may
perceiue
it
is
a
matter
of
importance
,
the
holy
Ghost
tels
vs
,
that
it
is
not
don
,
without
great
aduise
,
They
commune
together
in
their
best
aduizements
.
Thus
did
the
Iewes
often
consult
together
,
against
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
and
the
manner
of
their
councell
was
,
to
surprise
him
priuily
,
And
as
their
religion
is
nought
else
but
a
mistery
of
iniquity
,
cloaking
sinne
from
the
eye
of
the
world
;
so
in
their
seuerall
policies
for
the
managing
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
in
those
manifold
weapons
of
their
warfare
,
whereby
they
mantaine
their
Diadem
,
&
resist
all
opposite
powers
,
we
shall
find
that
secrecie
hath
been
an
espetiall
poynt
,
which
herein
they
haue
aymed
at
,
that
they
might
not
be
Iudas
to
betray
Christ
vnto
them
:
so
brought
they
in
Pylate
to
giue
sentence
vpon
him
.
And
surely
such
hath
been
the
cunning
of
these
Antichristian
Locusts
,
if
wee
incorporating
of
their
cruell
lawes
,
into
the
lawes
of
such
nations
,
among
whome
they
haue
erected
their
high
priests
but
Pilates
doing
,
it
was
the
law
of
the
Land
,
and
not
of
the
Pope
.
And
as
this
hath
been
an
ordinary
course
of
their
policy
,
for
the
more
clenly
conueyance
of
their
mischeiuous
practices
,
against
the
Saints
of
God
:
so
,
when
I
do
consider
the
weapons
of
their
warfare
,
wherewith
especially
they
fight
,
for
the
vpholding
of
man
of
sin
hath
vsually
strouen
,
for
the
vpholding
of
his
triple
crowne
;
I
do
finde
especially
to
haue
been
these
three
.
First
,
combining
with
Satan
to
destroy
by
charmes
and
sorceries
;
Secondly
,
variety
of
poyson
;
And
thirdly
,
laying
secret
traynes
of
gunpowder
to
take
away
the
same
.
In
all
which
,
as
that
purple
strumpet
hath
been
most
fruitfull
,
&
desperatly
prodigious
,
so
by
the
nature
of
these
weapons
,
it
may
easily
appeare
,
that
as
she
principally
laboured
this
,
not
to
bee
seen
in
her
mischeifes
:
so
,
in
not
being
seen
,
her
glory
might
be
the
greater
in
that
opinion
of
holines
,
which
would
redownd
to
her
hereby
,
in
that
her
enemies
were
so
confoûded
by
such
inuisible
meanes
,
Thus
as
the
weapons
of
her
warfare
imploy
her
secrecy
:
so
shall
this
cunning
yet
further
appear
into
vs
,
in
the
diuelish
managing
of
these
desperate
weapons
.
To
attempt
the
life
by
poyson
may
admit
great
secrecie
,
but
if
we
consider
depth
of
wickednesse
,
hardly
to
bee
sounded
by
common
wisedome
.
To
take
life
away
speedily
by
this
desperate
Monke
of
Swinstead
,
is
now
counted
foolishnesse
,
and
vnaduised
malice
in
any
to
take
such
a
course
:
because
by
tasting
and
such
like
meanes
the
snare
may
be
discouered
.
How
then
shall
we
doe
to
lay
this
snare
priuily
,
that
it
may
take
effect
,
and
we
be
out
of
danger
?
Here
consider
I
pray
you
,
the
depth
of
Satan
:
the
poyson
shall
be
so
tempered
,
as
not
to
effect
this
operation
vntill
some
time
afterward
,
that
so
if
we
take
part
,
yet
by
some
present
Antidote
the
infection
may
bee
killed
,
and
others
not
suspecting
the
danger
,
as
not
yet
perceiuing
the
same
,
may
so
suffer
the
contagion
to
preuaile
by
degrees
in
the
bodie
,
that
though
afterwards
it
be
perceiued
;
yet
speedily
seazing
vpon
some
vitall
part
,
it
may
not
by
any
phisicke
be
corrected
or
cured
.
When
I
doe
consider
the
poysoning
of
the
saddle
,
the
snare
,
that
some
may
not
be
secure
in
the
greatest
calmes
;
and
yet
let
vs
not
feare
,
though
the
trayne
shall
bee
layde
as
deepe
as
hell
,
seeing
our
God
raignes
there
,
to
discouer
such
mischiefes
.
As
for
the
other
weapon
of
secrecie
and
Thus
,
as
secrecie
is
the
cloake
to
the
accomplishment
though
I
loue
the
treason
,
yet
(
the
rule
is
true
)
I
hate
the
Traitor
,
because
we
will
doe
the
like
vnto
me
,
as
he
hath
done
vnto
others
,
yea
,
there
is
a
fearefull
punishment
following
at
the
hecles
of
the
same
,
which
we
would
gladly
auoid
.
Say
then
the
Plot
bee
discouered
,
and
the
Treason
knowne
;
how
shall
I
now
preuent
this
blot
of
Infamie
?
how
yet
shall
we
auoid
apprehension
thereby
?
Behold
here
againe
the
depth
of
Satan
,
and
marke
well
how
would
carrie
his
snares
in
secrecie
.
It
is
not
treason
,
but
religion
thus
to
doe
,
here
is
a
large
cloake
to
hide
this
mischiefe
.
It
is
our
glorie
to
deliuer
To
denie
the
fact
impudently
,
to
forsweare
it
damnably
,
these
to
the
rack
to
the
fire
,
to
the
mynes
with
the
Christians
,
this
is
longe
of
them
.
And
thus
had
these
deadly
enemies
purposed
(
if
their
plot
had
taken
effect
)
which
God
forbid
;
to
haue
fathered
it
vpon
those
,
who
endeauour
to
serue
the
Lord
with
a
pure
heart
.
But
blessed
be
God
,
who
is
good
vnto
Israel
,
euen
vnto
those
that
are
pure
in
heart
.
And
blessed
be
the
name
of
his
Maiestie
for
euer
,
who
hath
preserued
his
Annointed
,
and
his
seede
from
these
fatall
engines
,
and
hath
iustified
the
innocencie
of
his
seruants
in
the
sight
of
their
enemies
.
And
let
this
now
be
the
subiect
of
our
ordinary
meditations
,
great
deliuerances
giueth
he
vnto
Dauid
his
king
,
&
to
his
seed
for
euer
.
As
for
these
policies
of
our
enemies

in

They

the
light
,
and
therefore
their
workes
are
euill
;
that
wee
may
not
be

with
their
abhominations
:
so
let
vs
learne
not
to
be
affraide
of
their
snares
,
howsoeuer
they
be
cunningly
and
secretly

Certainely

howsoeuer

with
the

the

the
secret

his

will

that
so
they
may

seeing
there
is
nothing
so
hidden
,
which
shall
not
be
reuealed
,
and
the
more
we
haue
cloaked
our
sinne
,
the
more
wee
shall
inherite
shame
and
confusion
,
when
it
shall
be
discouered
:
yea
,
the
very
cloakes
which
we
vsed
to
hide
our
sinne
,
shall
one
day
be
meanes
to
lay
open
the

and
the
rust
of
that
riches
which
we
haue
vsed
wrongfully
,
shall

the
day

iudgment

and
be
a
means
to
consume
vs
with
fire
.
Oh
consider
this
you
that
forget
God
and
say
in
your
hearts
;
the
Lord
seeth
not
.
Behold
your
owne
iniquities
shall
finde
you
out
,
and
such
weapons
of
vnrighteousnesse
,
appointed
to
strippe
her
naked
,
and
fearefully
to
spoyle
her
,
who
while
she
was
faithfull
with
her
God
,
was
a
terrour
to
all
our
enemies
.
Oh
let
vs
therefore
take
heede
of
daubing
with
our
enemies
,
take
wee
heed
in
any
case
of
buying
our
peace
,
by
committing
abhomination
with
them
,
lest
it
come
to
passe
,
that
as
we
haue
serued
our selues
of
them
,
by
taking
part
in
their
filthinesse
,
so
they
shall
serue
themselues
of

by
making
a
spoile
of

And
the
Lord
shal
serue
himselfe

them

So
shall
he
either
discouer

or
deliuer
vs
out
of
the
secret
snares
of
our
enemies

his
Church
among
vs
:
&
then
vndoubtedly
,
though
many
snares
be
laid
for
vs
,
yet
the
lord
wil
awake
to
discouer
them
vnto
vs
,
yea
,
this
blessing
shal
a
faithfull
king
receiue
at
the
hand
of
God
,
that
his
hand
shal
find
out
all
his
enemies
,
and
his
right
hand
shal
find
out
them
that
hate
him

So
it
pleased
his
Maiestie
to
direct
the
heart
of
our
Annointed
to
apprehend
this
mischiefe
,
and
principally
out
of
the
Letter
contrarie
to
all
grammaticall
,
or
reasonable
construction
to
scan
the
same
,
yea
though
the
snares
might
happily
take
hold
vpon
vs

yet
wil
the
Lord
arise
to
deliuer
him
that
is
snared
,
the
snare
shall
be
broken
,
and
we
deliuered
.
As
for
our
enemies
that
haue
thus
secretly
layd
these
snares
.
Behold
the
Lord
will
raine
snares
vpon
them
,
and
so
take
them
in
the
pit
,
which
they
haue
digged
for
others
,
onely
let

And
they
say
,
who
shall
see
them

That
is
,
They
say
in
effect
,
that
none
shall
see
them
,
and
so
they
doe
put
out
the
eie
of
Gods
prouidence
,
and
thereupon
conclude
indeed
,
that
there
is
no
God
.
Such
was
the
ground
of
Rhamaes
oppression
,
Who
is
the
Lord
,
that
I
should
heare
his
voice
,
and
let
Israel
goe
?
Such
was
the
ground
of
the
Idolatrie
of
the
Iewes
,
they
say
,
the
Lord
seeth
vs
not
,
the
Lord
hath
forsaken
the
earth
.
Such
was
the
ground
of
the
persecution
of
the
wicked
,
that
he
,
not
only
thinketh
alwayes
,
There
is
no
God
:
but
further
also
,
he
contemneth
God
,
and
saith
:
God
hath
forgotten
,
he
hideth
away
his
face
,
and
will
neuer
see
.
And
this
doth
the
holy
Ghost
yeeld
to
be
the
reason
,
why
the
Gentiles
were
giuen
vp
into
a
reprobate
minde
,
whereby
they
became
full
of
vnrighteousnesse
,
euen
because
they
regarded
not
to
acknowledge
God
.
And
surely
as
the
profession
of
Poperie
is
a
flat
deniall
of
the
power
of
God
,
as
being
a
voluntarie
and
perpetuall
worship
,
plausible
to
the
sence
,
and
agreeable
to
reason
,
so
the
practise
thereof
is
nothing
else
,
but
a
maine
Sea
of
impietie
,
framing
out
iustly
it
owne
shame
,
and
confusion
.
Thus
hath
their
spirituall
fornication
against
God
,
and
his
ordinance
,
brought
forth
that
fruitfull
sinne
of
carnall
Fornications
,
and
vncleannesses
of
all
sorts
.
And
thus
hath
their
desperate
rebellion
against
the
Lord
,
&
against
his
Annointed
,
exalting
themselues
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
,
brought
forth
that
cursed
Monster
of
treason
,
and
rebellion
against
Gods
Lieutenant
vpon
earth
.
It
being
a
certaine
consequent
,
that
they
do
not
loue
God
whome
Who
so
is
wise
,
let
him
consider
this
,
and
in
this
glasse
of
Rebellion
,
let
him
obserue
an
heart
of
Atheisme
.
And
if
this
Atheisme
be
so
easily
to
be
discerned
in
her
brood
,
as
wee
may
not
looke
for
grapes
of
thornes
,
or
figges
of
thistles
,
any
better
fruit
,
from
so
cursed
a
tree
;
so
let
vs
in
the
name
of
God
disclaime
,
that
so
Satan
which
in
the
root
and
fruit
,
fights
against
God
and
man
.
And
discerne
wee
wisely
the
truth
of
that
Religion
,
which
ioyning
God
and
man
so
graciously
together
,
doth
teach
vs
not
to
separate
those
,
whome
God
hath
ioyned
,
but
to
maintaine
this
holy
Vnitie
,
euen
with
the
losse
of
our
deerest
blood
;
and
in
the
feare
of
God
cleaue
we
vnspeakably
vnto
that
holy
truth
,
which
teacheth
vs
to
giue
vnto
(
not
to
take
from
)
Caesar
,
the
things
that
are
Caesars
,
and
vnto
God
,
the
things
that
are
Gods
,
that
so
honouring
Caesar
aright
in
giuing
him
his
due
vnder
God
,
wee
may
vnder
Caesar
,
liue
a
quiet
and
peaceable
life
,
in
all
godlynesse
and
honestie
.
And
seing
there
is
not
a
more
effectual
meanes
to
prouoke
vs
to
obedience
,
than
that
the
eye
of
God
is
continually
vpon
vs
:
As
this
was
a
spurre
vnto
our
aduersaries
for
their
treason
against
the
Lords
Annointed
,
that
God
should
not
see
them
,
so
let
it
bee
a
continuall
motiue
of
our
conscionable
obedience
vnto
God
and
man
;
namely
,
that
the
Lord
our
God
looketh
continually
vpon
vs
.
And
that
we
may
not
want
a
liuely
euidence
for
the
same
,
let
vs
onely
consider
how
the
Lord
watched
ouer
vs
in
this
deliuerance
,
that
if
he
had
been
on
our
side
,
and
watched
ouer
vs
,
when
these
snares
were
priuily
layd
against
vs
;
surely
,
they
had
swallowed
vs
vp
quick
,
when
their
wrath
was
kindled
against
vs
.
Yea
,
the
waters
had
drowned
vs
,
and
the
streame
had
gone
ouer
our
soules
.
Oh
that
this
deliueuerance
to
say
,
there
is
no
God
:
Let
vs
looke
that
as
the
Lord
hath
iustified
himselfe
against
them
,
by
deliuering
vs
out
of
their
hands
,
so
will
he
also
iustifie
himselfe
against
vs
,
in
laying
further
punishments
vpon
vs
,
euen
by
exposing
his
people
as
a
pray
vnto
their
enemies
,
that
they
may
learne
to
giue
him
the
honour
that
is
due
vnto
his
name
.
If
the
feare
of
his
rodde
will
not
cause
vs
to
depart
from
euill
,
we
shall
feele
the
smart
of
his
holy
indignation
,
and
the
shaking
of
the
rodde
shall
not
serue
the
turne
,
if
by
it
we
haue
not
returned
vnto
the
Lord
our
God
.
Oh
Lord
,
it
is
not
in
man
to
walke
,
and
to
direct
his
steps
.
Turne
thou
vs
vnto
thee
,
and
then
wee
shall
bee
turned
.
For
why
should
the
wicked
say
,
Where
is
now
our
God
?
Why
should
thy
Children
complaine
,
that
thou
hast
forsaken
them
.
Oh
Lord
,
thou
art
our
God
from
euerlasting
,
and
world
without
end
:
thou
hast
magnified
thy selfe
in
the
sight
of
our
enemies
,
and
put
to
confusion
those
that
hate
vs
;
Oh
,
let
vs
therefore
draw
nere
vnto
the
Lord
our
God
;
let
vs
renew
our
couenant
with
thy
Maiestie
to
the
finall
confusion
of
our
enemies
,
and
to
the
preuenting
of
all
such
further
mischiefes
,
that
they
shall
practise
against
vs
.
It
followeth
.
They
haue
sought
out
iniquities
.
That
is
,
they
haue
studied
and
inuented
diuers
sorts
of
mischiefes
,
to
accomplish
thereby
more
certainely
their
desires
.
Behold
here
a
third
policie
of
the
wicked
to
supply
that
which
may
bee
wanting
in
their
former
deuise
of
secrecy
:
that
though
one
plot
be
discouered
,
another
might
take
place
,
and
still
another
might
bee
one
foote
,
though
a
former
were
preuented
.
A
verie
desperate
and
most
effectuall
varietie
of
stratagems
,
tyres
out
policie
,
and
carnall
wisedome
,
and
puts
it
to
a
Non
plus
in
preuenting
so
many
mischiefes
;
but
further
also
great
terrour
,
and
distraction
ceaseth
on
the
hearts
of
weake
ones
,
in
regard
of
such
strange
and
manifold
snares
:
yea
,
by
this
meanes
,
those
whom
God
hath
giuen
vp
to
these
snares
,
are
heere
appalled
with
wofull
despaire
,
and
so
hereby
lye
open
to
the
snares
,
as
hauing
giuen
ouer
all
hope
to
auoide
the
same
.
We
may
finde
some
steps
of
this
corruption
,
euen
in
the
Saints
of
God
.
When
Dauid
saw
,
that
there
was
no
end
of
Sauls
malice
,
but
stil
he
was
followed
with
new
pursuits
,
the
holy
Ghost
signifieth
,
that
it
wrought
this
effect
in
his
feare

as

of

:
I
shall
now
perish
one
day
by
the
hand
of
Saul
,
and
thereupon
be●ooke
himselfe
to
a
most
desperate
course
euen
to
flye
for
succour
vnto
the
enemies
of
God
.
For
where
feare
doth
possesse
vs
,
that
mal●ce
is
endlesse
,
and
her
mischiefes
so
many
,
that
they
cannot
be
auoided
there
care
will
faile
vs
,
for
the
preuenting
of
them
,
as
thinking
our
labout
lost
,
against
such
vnauoydable
snares
.
And
so
being
carelesse
in
the
danger
,
we
lye
open
thereunto
:
and
are
either
betrayed
by
desperate
securitie
in
the
end
vnto
the
same
,
or
else
seeking
to
auoide
them
by
vile
and
impious
courses
,
we
doe
hereby
exclude
our selues
from
the
protection
of
the
Lord
:
and
so
cause
the
malice
of
our
enemy
to
light
more
heauily
vpon
vs
.
It
hath
been
no
new
Dauids
Lord
,
by
Satan
and
his
most
malicious
instruments
.
Marke
(
I
pray
you
)
how
Satan
sets
vpon
him
.
First
,
he
layes
a
snare
of
distrust
,
perswading
him
to
make
bread
of
stones
,
as
if
God
were
not
To
cast
himselfe
downe
from
the
pinnacle
of
the
Temple
,
that
so
hee
might
exclude
himselfe
out
of
Gods
protection
.
When
this
would
not
preuaile
,
yet
hee
layes
a
third
snare
of
worldly
pompe
and
glorie
,
moouing
him
thereby
to
fall
downe
and
worship
him
,
that
so
hee
might
robbe
God
of
the
glorie
,
that
was
due
vnto
his
name
.
And
as
was
the
father
,
so
were
also
the
children
,
euen
the
nation
of
the
Iewes
,
whose
saluation
he
laboured
.
Their
malice
did
not
cease
against
him
,
so
long
as
hee
was
capable
of
it
,
and
for
the
acting
thereof
,
they
wanted
not
store
of
mischiefes
,
when
they
could
not
preuaile
by
smiting
stone
him
with
against
God
,
when
themselues
durst
not
openly
bee
seene
for
feare
of
the
people
,
then
they
corrupted
one
of
his
owne
house
to
bring
him
to
his
end
:
sometimes
they
with
Satan
,
that
so
they
might
make
him
odious
and
abhominable
to
the
people
:
sometimes
they
propounded
curious
wrest
and
peruert
his
gracious
speeches
.
And
when
they
had
caught
him
,
their
malice
was
yet
vnsatiable
.
Buffeting
clothed
in
purple
,
to
bee
scorned
and
derided
of
them
.
This
crowned
with
thornes
,
that
so
his
torment
might
bee
yet
encreased
:
yea
,
further
yet
to
lengthen
out
their
malice
and
his
paines
;
behold
they
deuised
a
lingting
,
and
yet
most
shamefull
torture
,
to
bring
him
to
his
end
.
Nayled
must
he
be
on
the
crosse
,
to
encrease
his
paine
,
and
yet
to
lengthen
out
his
life
,
and
he
must
be
hanged
betweene
two
theeues
,
and
accounted
among
euill
doers
,
that
so
together
with
his
bodie
,
his
good
name
might
be
killed
.
Thus
was
our
head
Christ
Iesus
persecuted
by
his
owne
:
And
thus
must
all
his
members
looke
to
be

Not

you
with

of
forraine
stories
,
neither
to
seeke
furth●r
in
our
owne
,
than
what
is
fresh
in
our
memories
;
how
did
the
enemies
of
the
Gospell
multiplie
their
snares
against
vs
,
in
this
late
practise
the
life
of
the
King
,
this
was
but
an
entrance
.
Nay
,
we
must
cut
off
root
and
braunches
too
,
if
we
shall
make
sure
worke
,
was
this
all
?
Nay
,
the
esta●es
of
the
Land
,
they
must
also
be
cut
off
,
that
so
strength
and
councell
being
remooued
,
and
the
heads
being
cut
off
,
the
Conquest
might
be
the
easier
,
and
the
confusion
the
greater
.
Is
this
yet
all
?
Nay
,
the
life
of
the
Kingdome
true
Religion
,
must
be
extinguished
,
and
all
the
Professors
thereof
,
vtterly
rooted
out
;
that
so
Idolatrie
may
take
sure
footing
againe
.
And
to
make
vp
the
measure
of
their
mischiefe
:
the
execution
of
all
this
practise
must
bee
layd
vpon
true
Religion
:
that
herein
their
malice
might
reach
to
heauen
,
and
in
some
measure
insult
and
triumph
ouer
God
himselfe
.
Behold
heere
the
trauaile
of
the
wicked
,
which
is
to
bring
forth
mischiefe
:
behold
the
fruitfulnesse
of
malice

Nay
,
they
will
spare
their

,
that
they
may
imagine

on

and
when

Let

trie

by
this

To

is

incident
to
the
most
regenerate
,
but
to
make
it
our
studie
,
and
delight
,
to
commit
sinne
with
greedinesse
and
to
continue
therein
;
this
cannot
stand
with
a
sanctifyed
nature
.
I
delight
in
the
Law
of
the
Lord
concerning
the
inward
man
saith
that
chosen
Vessell
Saint
Paul
:
)
and
therfore
,
I
doe
that
which
I
would
not
,
it
is
no
more
I
,
but
sinne
that
dwelleth
in
me
.
Ohlet
vs
,
howsoeuer
we
cannot
choose
but
sinne
,
yet
notwithstanding
delight
in
the
law
of
the
Lord
,
that
so
our
sinne
may
not
be
imputed
vnto
vs
.
Once
haue
I
spoken
(
saith
holy
Iob
)
but
I
will
answere
no
more
,
yea
twise
,
but
I
will
proceede
no
further
:
If
we
haue
once
offended
,
lest
otherwise
a
worse
thing
happen
vnio
vs
.
And
if
so
be
the
wicked
are
so
fruitfull
in
mischiefe
,
and
vnwearied
in
euill
to
gaine
hell
therby
;
oh
let
vs
neuer
bee
wearie
of
well
doing
;
let
vs
bee
plentifull
in
good
workes
,
seeing
if
we
faint
not
,
wee
shall
certainely
reape
an
euerlast●ng
reward
in
heauen
.
Lastly
,
seeing
the
enemies
of
the
Gospell
are
neuer
wearie
of
mischiefe
,
but
still
are
deuising
and
practising
against
the
Iust
.
Oh
let
vs
not
be
secure
of
them
,
nor
hope
to
winne
them
by
gentlenesse
,
seeing
conniuencie
at
their
wickednesse
,
is
but
a
spurre
to
further
mischiefe
,
as
giuing
them
respite
and
oportunitie
to
commit
the
same
.
If
we
shall
wisely
stand
vpon
the
guard
,
and
keepe
this
enemie
at
the
staues
end
,
though
happily
his
malice
might
hereby
bee
encreased
,
yet
seeing
his
sinne
is
by
this
meanes
ripened
,
&
when
the
Haruest
is
ripe
,
the
sickle
shal
be
put
in
,
his
practises
shal
be
so
〈◊〉
from
preuailing
against
vs
:
as
that
the
pit
which
hee
hath
digged
,
hee
shall
fall
into
himselfe
:
his
owne
s●ord
shall
enter
into
his
owne
heart
,
and
his
bowe
shall
bee
broken
:
and
in
the
s●are
which
hee
priuily
layes
for
vs
,
shall
his
owne
foote
bee
taken
.
It
followeth
.
And
they
haue
accomplished
that
which
they
s●ught
for
&c.
The
meaning
is
that
they
are
perswaded
secretly
in
their
soules
that
,
what
they
haue
deuised
shall
surely
take
conceaue
highly
of
their
owne
deuises
,
especially
caried
in
such
stro●g
,
and
yet
secret
manner
:
but
principally
the
iustice
of
God
is
seen
herein
,
who
giuing
them
vp
to
this
resolute
confidence
,
doth
thereby
prepare
the
way
to
their
more
fearefull
confusion
.
So
did
the
enemie
secure
themselus
against
the
Lords
Annoynted
,
that
they
had
already
deuoured
him
,
as
hauing
so
hemd
him
in
with
their
secret
and
manifold
snares
that
he
could
not
possible
escape
:
yea
for
the
further
confirming
themselues
in
this
confidence
,
because
his
onely
protection
was
from
God
;
therefore
so
farre
did
they
proceed
in
this
presumption
:
that
measuring
the
fauour
of
God
by
outward
prosperity
,
they
concluded
herevpon
falsely
vpon
some
light
affliction
that
did
befall
him
A
mischeife
is
light
vpon
him
&
he
that
lieth
shall
no
more
rise
:
and
their
reason
is
.
God
hath
forsaken
him
:
wherevpon
they
encouradge
themselues
in
come
let
vs
pursue
and
take
him
,
for
their
is
none
to
deliuer
him
.
Yea
so
blasphemously
confident
grow
they
herein
,
as
building
vpon
the
strength
and
effectuallnes
of
their
snares
,
that
they
euen
make
a
mocke
at
the
counsell
of
the
poore
,
because
the
Lord
is
his
refuge
,
and
as
if
so
be
god
were
not
able
to
deliuer
out
of
their
hands
,
they
deryde
his
confidence
in
the
Lord
his
God
,
saying
,
he
trusted
in
God
let
him
deliuer
him
,
let
him
saue
him
,
seeing
hee
loueth
him
.
Implying
thereby
most
impiously
,
that
they
had
him
so
sure
,
that
his
confidence
in
God
should
not
deliuer
him
out
of
their
hands
.
Thus
did
Senacharib
Let
not
thy
God
deceaue
thee
in
whime
thou
trustest
&c.
Imploying
that
the
Lord
could
not
deliuer
him
out
of
his
hands
:
Thus
did
the
mother
of
Sisera
flatter
her selfe
,
when
shee
looked
out
of
the
window
why
is
his
chariot
so
long
a
comming
,
why
tarie
the
wheeles
of
his
chariot
,
expecting
indoubtedly
her
sons
returne
with
victorie
:
and
thus
did
her
wise
Ladyes
answeare
her
with
owne
wordes
,
haue
they
not
gotten
and
they
diuide
the
spoyle
&c.
shewing
also
their
confidence
in
the
good
successe
of
the
battaile
.
And
surely
if
we
shall
consider
the
hopes
of
our
enemies
,
concerning
the
good
successe
of
their
desperate
attempts
:
as
their
micheifes
haue
not
been
short
of
any
,
so
their
confidence
also
hath
been
with
the
best
,
For
was
not
the
Nauie
which
was
sent
against
vs
in
the
Inuincible
Armadoe
,
as
if
no
force
were
able
to
scatter
it
.
And
did
not
their
Friars
tauntingly
,
and
most
blasphemously
preach
,
that
they
had
Pope
(
and
Diuell
)
and
all
to
fight
for
them
,
but
the
Hugnenots
and
Lutherans
had
none
but
God
to
stand
on
their
fide
,
as
if
hee
were
no
bodie
,
to
withstand
them
?
had
they
not
diuided
the
spoyle
in
conceit
,
before
they
sawe
the
shoare
,
which
should
haue
been
gayned
?
had
they
not
brought
whips
,
and
other
instruments
of
torture
to
execute
their
crueltie
vpon
vs
,
as
if
they
made
account
to
be
maisters
of
the
field
.
And
that
it
was
decreed
by
God
&
men
,
to
punish
the
iniquitie
of
the
time
,
therein
,
both
making
the
Lord
a
party
in
this
their
damnable
enterprice
,
&
also
thereby
building
so
certainly
vpon
the
accomplishment
theirof
,
as
if
it
were
the
decree
of
God
himselfe
.
What
preparacions
they
had
made
for
the
aduancement
of
themselues
,
terrible
blowe
should
be
giuen
:
their
sumptuous
apparell
,
store
of
bloody
weapons
,
proclamations
and
such
like
,
all
in
a
readynes
,
as
if
the
thing
were
done
:
did
it
not
most
liuely
d●scouer
their
confidence
,
that
they
had
accomplisht
that
which
they
sought
for
.
If
we
would
know
what
might
bee
the
reason
of
such
resolution
of
their
conscience
,
which
though
erronious
,
yet
hereby
the
stronglier
con●eited
,
&
the
more
obstinatly
presumptuous
apprehension
of
the
cause
for
which
they
iust
,
yea
meritorious
;
must
needs
puffe
them
vp
with
confident
hope
of
good
successe
therein
.
Adde
we
herevnto
the
approbation
of
this
fact
not
onely
by
the
conscience
by
God
and
men
.
And
hauing
so
sure
a
warrant
(
as
they
thinke
)
for
the
attempting
of
their
mischiefs
;
is
it
any
wonder
,
if
they
promise
exceeding
good
successe
vnto
themselues
therein
?
Were
it
onely
the
policy
which
they
haue
vsed
in
the
managing
of
their
practices
:
their
encouragments
to
strengthen
,
their
secrery
to
entrapp
,
&
their
manifold
snares
to
wearie
terrible
blow
:
not
only
shall
not
be
able
to
rise
againe
,
doth
therefore
in
his
wisedome
let
them
alone
so
farre
in
these
their
diuelish
practices
,
that
hauing
brought
them
in
a
manner
to
ripenes
,
and
perfection
,
as
they
could
wish
,
they
might
herevpon
be
lifted
vp
with
pride
and
confidence
in
the
good
successe
thereof
:
that
by
the
suddaine
defaiture
of
these
practices
afterward
,
their
confusion
might
be
the
greater
both
to
body
&
soule
:
not
onely
to
the
body
in
such
punishments
which
doe
attend
them
,
but
especially
into
their
soules
and
consciences
either
breeding
in
them
an
obstinate
allowance
of
their
diuelish
practices
,
when
they
shall
see
their
expectation
so
deceiued
,
&
their
wisedome
confounded
.
Oh
this
will
make
Ahitophell
euen
to
hang
Maruaile
not
we
therefore
,
if
we
see
the
wicked
puffed
standing
in
grace
,
by
our
feare
in
sinne
.
Certainly
as
the
feare
of
offending
God
,
is
a
meanes
to
preuent
sin
:
so
feare
in
the
sence
of
our
owne
vnworthynes
in
regard
of
our
sinnes
,
working
repentance
not
to
be
repented
of
:
is
the
meanes
to
restore
vnto
vs
the
ioy
of
Gods
saluation
,
which
before
we
had
lost
:
than
so
we
may
either
auoyde
,
or
sanctifie
such
iudgments
,
as
are
due
vnto
our
sinnes
:
And
if
the
wicked
are
so
confident
in
euill
purposes
.
Oh
let
vs
not
cast
away
our
confidence
&
couradge
in
well-doing
,
which
hath
so
greatre
compence
of
reward
.
Lastly
seeing
confidence
in
sinne
is
a
note
of
ripenes
,
and
when
the
measure
is
full
,
the
vessels
shall
be
emptied
:
Let
vs
not
be
cast
downe
,
when
we
see
the
wicked
Alas
,
how
shall
we
doe
,
we
are
but
dead
men
:
yet
let
vs
here
Elishaes
eyes
,
to
see
more
with
vs
,
than
those
that
are
against
vs
,
yea
,
if
wee
can
bee
still
,
and
behold
the
saluation
of
the
Lord
,
our
enemies
whome
wee
see
this
day
,
wee
shall
see
them
no
more
.
And
if
wee
would
desire
,
that
the
Lord
would
shew
vs
some
token
for
good
,
whereby
we
may
see
the
confusion
of
our
enemies
neere
at
hand
;
we
before
destruction
the
minde
is
haughtie
.
Our
enemies
are
secure
and
confident
in
the
accomplishment
of
their
practises
.
For
so
it
followeth
in
the

WHere

For
what

to
Traytors

than
to
know

that
as

resist

they
shall

haue

whome
they
shall
not
be

to
stand
;
Against
,
whom
no
power
nor
wisedome
,
nor
counsell
,
shal
be
able
to
preuaile
:
What
greater
comfort
can
there
be
vnto
Princes
than
this
,
that
whereas
it
is
God
,
that
exalteth
them
,
and
not
they
themselues
,
it
is
he
also
that
will
maintaine
his
owne
calling
,
and
institution
,
and
rescue
his
seruants
from
the
hurtfull
sword
.
Certainely
,
though
Magistrates
are
so
exalted
,
that
they
are
aboue
all
others
;
yet
by
this
they
may
learne
,
that
the
Lord
is
aboue
them
:
that
so
they
may
be
by
kissing
the
sonne
,
and
aduauncing
his
kingdome
:
oh
that
they
would
learne
to
bound
themselues
within
the
compasse
of
Gods
protection
,
by
seruing
the
Lord
in
feare
and
reioycing
before
him
in
reuerence
:
So
should
the
Lord
establish
their
Kingdomes
for
euer
,
and
their
enemies
should
be
cloathed
with
perpetuall
shame
:
so
should
their
earthly
honour
bee
a
pledge
vnto
them
of
euerlasting
glorie
:
and
this
,
that
they
gouerned
faithfully
ouer
men
,
vnder
God
,
should
be
a
meanes
to
further
them
to
raigne
with
God
for
euer
.
Onely
,
let
them
take
heede
that
they
tempt
not
the
Lord
,
that
because
the
Lord
will
Sonnes
of
Zeruiah
,
are
to
stronge
for
the
Kingdome
,
and
his
sinne
not
yet
breake
out
to
ripenesse
Shall
shoot
an
arrow
at
them
suddenly
.
Behold
now
the
admirable
wisedome
and
powers
of
God
in
this
effectuall
maner
of
defeating
his
enemies
,
by
deliberate
consultation
is
here
confounded
with
the
suddennes
of
the
vengeance
:
that
they
which
tooke
such
time
&
laysure
to
bring
their
purposes
to
passe
,
they
which
so
aduisedly
consulted
,
to
do
mischeife
vnto
others
,
shall
now
haue
no
time
or
leasure
to
consult
their
owne
deliuerance
,
because
the
hand
of
the
Lord
shall
come
suddenly
vpon
them
,
So
doth
the
Lord
threaten
rod
of
his
indignation
,
that
he
will
come
vpon
her
suddenly
with
many
plagues
.
So
doth
the
holy
Ghost
prophecie
of
that
spirituall
Babell
that
not
onely
in
one
daie
but
euen
in
one
hower
she
shal
be
ouerthrowne
:
Yea
her
iudgment
shall
come
vpon
her
as
the
casting
of
a
great
milstone
into
the
middest
of
the
Sea
,
so
sudden
&
violent
shal
be
her
affection
of
the
Lord
in
laying
the
end
which
he
aymeth
at
,
in
confounding
them
in
this
life
:
or
lastly
the
vse
that
he
entendeth
in
regard
of
others
.
Concerning
the
affection
of
the
Lord
in
the
punishments
of
the
wicked
,
as
his
children
in
loue
and
of
verie
faithfullnes
causeth
them
to
be
afflicted
:
so
on
the
contrary
doth
hee
consume
the
wicked
in
his
wrath
and
sore
displeasure
.
And
therefore
as
he
giues
warning
vnto
the
one
,
to
witnes
his
loue
vnto
them
,
that
so
they
might
be
prepared
to
meet
the
Lord
:
so
on
the
other
side
doth
he
ouer
take
the
wicked
,
with
his
suddaine
iudgments
,
that
being
vnprepared
therevnto
,
they
might
be
ouer-whelmed
with
the
fury
of
his
speedy
indignation
.
And
this
also
doth
the
end
of
their
afflictions
manyfestly
declare
,
For
whereas
the
Lord
in
these
temporall
plagues
,
entendes
to
giue
them
a
tast
of
eternall
wits
endes
,
their
harts
might
not
onely
bee
hardned
and
so
enraged
against
the
Lord
,
but
further
also
this
confusion
of
their
wisedome
,
driuing
them
to
dispayre
,
they
shal
be
possed
with
the
fearfull
expection
of
the
vengeance
to
come
.
And
surely
seeing
God
doth
turne
all
things
to
the
good
of
the
elect
,
therfore
also
doth
he
difference
betweene
them
and
the
wicked
,
euen
in
that
which
seemeth
to
be
alike
vnto
both
.
Oh
that
our
carelesse
impes
would
consider
this
:
who
spend
their
dayes
in
wealth
,
and
put
the
euill
day
farre
from
them
,
that
so
they
may
more
securely
approach
the
sea
of
iniquity
;
that
they
would
remember
this
suddaine
reckoning
,
and
lay
vnto
their
harts
this
course
of
Gods
iustice
,
euen
to
take
sinne
napping
,
and
suddenly
to
surprise
it
.
That
they
would
remember
how
Ieroboam
was
smitten
,
euen
when
he
stretched
out
his
hand
to
smite
,
that
they
would
remember
the
suddaine
hand-writing
with
sauced
Belshazzers
,
we
remember
that
for
all
theise
things
we
must
come
to
iudgment
,
and
that
our
iudgment
shall
come
suddenly
in
the
hower
that
we
know
not
:
It
would
make
vs
be
watchfull
euen
euery
hower
,
that
so
though
it
be
sudden
,
yet
it
may
not
be
sudden
vnto
vs
,
as
being
ready
&
prepared
in
some
measure
therevnto
.
And
seeing
the
suddenes
of
a
iudgment
breedes
great
distraction
&
takes
away
time
of
councell
or
resolution
,
as
this
should
teach
vs
not
to
be
afraid
of
sudden
death
,
If
so
be
that
we
haue
been
by
an
holy
life
prepared
therevnto
:
neither
to
censure
others
for
dying
suddenly
:
seeing
wee
haue
sufficient
testimony
of
their
former
liues
:
so
it
should
be
a
very
not
to
put
of
our
repentance
vnto
the
time
of
our
deathes
,
least
the
horrour
and
suddenes
of
that
messenger
,
distract
vs
in
our
reckoning
,
and
so
we
be
surprised
,
before
we
haue
made
euen
with
our
God
,
And
seing
the
suddennes
of
a
iudgment
,
is
herein
onely
a
note
of
Gods
wrath
,
in
that
it
findes
the
wicked
vnprepared
thervnto
:
as
we
are
therefore
not
to
pray
further
against
suddaine
iudgments
,
then
that
they
may
not
finde
vs
vnprepared
:
to
distrust
of
Gods
mercie
though
we
be
suddenly
met
with
all
,
if
so
be
that
our
soules
haue
formely
been
prepared
to
temptations
.
Onely
we
may
rather
wish
,
(
if
it
so
please
the
Lord
)
to
see
the
plague
before
it
cometh
:
fearing
therod
,
we
may
depart
from
euill
;
and
therby
either
remooue
or
sanctifie
the
iudgment
vnto
vs
.
Certainly
as
confindence
in
sinne
makes
euery
iudgment
suddaine
,
so
feare
in
the
sence
of
our
iniquities
,
preparing
vs
to
the
end
,
doth
thereby
effect
,
that
no
scourge
shal
be
sudden
vnto
vs
,
As
for
the
the
wicked
it
is
not
so
with
them
,
their
confidence
in
sinne
makes
them
secure
,
and
their
security
breedes
a
sudden
iudgment
.
And
thus
doth
the
Lord
confound
their
wisedome
in
consulting
and
deliberating
,
aduisedly
of
their
mischiefs
against
the
saints
,
by
comming
vpon
them
with
his
sudden
iudgments
.
But
this
is
not
all
.
For
though
the
iudgment
be
sudden
,
and
so
take
them
vnprepared
slow
and
moderate
and
so
giue
them
time
of
preparation
,
euen
while
the
scourge
is
vpon
them
.
To
preuent
this
,
the
holy
Ghost
addeth
,
that
their
stroake
shall
be
at
once
.
That
is
,
their
Iudgment
shal
be
as
speedie
in
executing
,
as
it
was
sudden
in
surprising
:
that
so
not
taking
time
before
to
prepare
themselues
,
now
the
swiftnesse
,
and
greeuousnesse
of
the
Plague
,
may
take
away
time
of
preparation
afterward
;
and
so
conuincing
iustly
their
former
abuse
of
the
time
past
,
doth
thereby
exclude
them
from
all
hope
of
mercie
for
the
time
to
come
:
yea
this
speedinesse
of
the
iudgement
,
implying
also
the
sharpenesse
and
terrour
of
it
,
doth
hereby
make
to
their
greater
confusion
,
as
being
not
able
to
vndergoe
so
extreame
a
scourge
.
Their
stroakes
shall
be
at
once
.
Behold
heere
a
second
point
of
Gods
wisedome
and
power
in
the
punishments
of
the
wicked
:
hee
will
bee
a
swife
witnesse
against
them
,
to
take
them
in
their
sinne
:
and
take
away
from
them
oportunitie
of
repentance
,
that
so
his
wrath
may
be
powred
out
in
full
measure
vpon
them
.
Surely
a
most
holy
and
righteous
course
,
not
onely
hereby
to
confound
their
policie
,
in
deuising
many
snares
,
as
seeing
them
now
all
broken
,
as
it
were
with
one
stroake
,
but
further
also
to
consume
such
fearefully
,
who
thought
all
plagues
too
little
against
the
Annointed
of
the
Lord
.
So
doth
the
Lord
threaten
the
wicked
,
as
with
sudden
,
so
with
speedie
Iudgements
vpon
the
wicked
(
saith
the
holy
Ghost
)
he
shall
raine
snares
,
fire
and
brimstone
,
and
stormie
tempest
,
this
is
the
portion
of
their
cuppe
:
all
which
are
both
sudden
and
speedie
plagues
:
making
quicke
riddance
,
where
once
the
oldworld
:
an
hundred
and
twentie
yeares
time
gaue
hee
them
to
make
vp
their
account
,
but
when
he
came
to
Sod●me
and
Gomorrha
:
he
rayned
vpon
them
fire
and
brimstone
,
and
so
with
one
stroake
made
a
full
end
of
them
:
so
that
affliction
did
not
arise
the
second
time
.
And
howsoeuer
he
deales
not
generally
thus
with
all
sorts
of
sinners
;
yet
because
the
sinne
of
Treason
,
is
a
monstrous
and
capitall
offence
,
neerely
touching
Corah
,
Dathan
,
and
Abiram
,
putting
it
to
that
if
these
men
died
the
common
death
of
all
men
,
then
the
Lord
had
not
spoken
by
him
:
the
Lord
(
I
say
)
iustified
herein
the
authoritie
of
his
seruant
,
and
confounded
their
vnnaturall
Rebellion
,
by
a
strange
and
woonderfull
iudgement
answerable
thereunto
.
For
as
they
were
vnnaturall
,
and
would
not
endure
a
superiour
ouer
them
;
so
the
earth
became
rebellious
Absolon
,
by
as
long
&
beautifull
haire
:
to
be
the
halter
to
hang
him
vp
,
betwixt
heauen
&
earth
:
suddenly
was
he
caught
vp
,
and
speedily
was
he
dispatcht
by
another
,
who
in
that
murther
happily
made
way
for
his
owne
ambition
,
and
also
for
the
like
fault
dranke
after
of
the
cup
of
vengeance
.
Oh
,
that
the
enemies
of
gouernement
would
consider
in
their
hearts
,
there
is
no
God
;
and
Their
owne
tongues
shall
fall
vpon
them
,
to
betray
their
wickednesse
:
and
become
the
executioners
of
Gods
righteous
iudgements
vpon
them
.
For
so
it
followeth
.
He
shall
cause
their
owne
tongues
to
fall
vpon
them
.
Loe
heere
a
third
degree
of
Gods
iustice
against
the
wicked
:
themselues
shall
be
the
instruments
of
their
owne
confusion
:
&
the
snares
which
they
haue
laid
for
the
righteous
shall
confound
themselues
,
that
the
Lord
may
yet
be
more
apparantly
iustified
when
he
iudgeth
:
and
the
wicked
more
confounded
by
the
cause
of
their
discouerie
.
A
verie
vsuall
,
and
righteous
course
of
Gods
proceeding
against
them
,
discouering
both
the
admirable
vprightnesse
of
Gods
Iudgements
vpon
them
,
and
also
his
profound
wisedome
in
executing
the
same
.
It
is
a
comfortable
promise
which
the
Lord
makes
vnto
his
children
,
That
the
righteous
shall
escape
out
of
trouble
,
and
the
wicked
shall
come

Signifying
,
that
this
admirable

of
meeting
with
the
wicked
,
in
their
owne
policies
,
and
snaring
them
in
their

which
they
haue

that

And
seeing

is
to

The
meaning
whereof
is
,
that
the
terrour
of
such
iudgments
,
Thus
when
the
Captain
of
the
host
of
Israell
,
had
executed
the
feare
of
him
fell
vpon
all
the
nations
round
about
,
who
being
guilty
of
the
same
sins
,
did
therefore
expect
the
like
iudgments
,
and
so
in
a
desperate
manner
exposed
them selues
therevnto
.
So
when
the
Champion
of
the
Philistines
was
cut
of
Philistines
fled
and
were
dispersed
.
And
this
to
haue
been
the
effect
of
great
iudgments
,
vpon
the
enemies
of
God
,

the

witnesseth
in
their

confusions
.
Yea
thus
haue
the
iudgments
of
God
,
from
time
inflicted
vpon
malefactors
,
been
the
meanes
to
awake
others
,
and
so
to
terrifie
them
,
that
haue
been
guilty
of
the
same
sinnes
,
that
by
some
token
or
other
:
either
by
flying
or
blushing
,
by
complaining
or
pytying
,
by
iustifying
or
such
like
,
they
haue
verie
wonderfully
betrayd
them selues
,
and
so
haue
exposed
them selues
to
the
like
iudgments
.
So
were
the
companies
of
these
rebells
scattered
,
when
once
the
head
of
their
treason
was
broken
:
so
did
they
further
each
other
to
their
iust
confusion
.
A
most
wise
&
righteous
course
of
Gods
proceeding
against
the
wicked
:
that
they
which
wil
not
be
ioined
with
vs
breake
his
bandes
,
and
cast
away
his
cords
from
vs
:
should
not
haue
any
durable
socyety
among
themselues
:
that
they
which
abuse
society
to
fight
against
God
and
his
church
,
might
want
the
comfort
of
society
when
they
haue
most
neede
thereof
,
and
be
scattered
from
each
other
,
for
their
more
speedy
apprehension
,
&
confusion
:
who
haue
labored
to
dissolue
the
communion
of
the
saints
.
Euen
so
,
oh
Lord
,
let
all
the
enemies
be
scattered
,
that
such
as
belong
to
thee
,
being
thus
disapoynted
in
their
carnall
fellowship
,
may
seeke
to
be
members
of
that
body
of
thy
sonne
,
which
no
malice
of
Satan
shall
euer
be
able
to
seperate
.
Obserue
wee
here
,
first
,
the
wonderfull
power
of
God
that
their
is
no
councell
nor
confederacy
against
the
Lord
:
Nay
though
the
wicked
shall
make
a
league
with
death
and
be
at
an
agreemont
with
hell
it selfe
:
though
Satan
and
all
his
legions
should
conspire
with
them
against
his
little
flocke
,
yet
when
the
Lord
shall
lay
iudgment
to
the
rule
&
righteousnes
,
to
the
ballance
their
conuenient
with
death
shal
be
dissolued
,
and
their
agreement
with
hell
shall
not
stand
.
Let
vs
not
therefore
be
seduced
,
to
cast
in
our
lot
with
the
wicked
,
when
the

shal

vnto
me
,
then
,
saith
the
prophet
,
the
righteous
shall
resort
vnto
my
company
,
who
before
stood
a
farre
of
for
feare
of
my
plague
:
Yea
when
the
Lord
shall
returne
the
captiuitie
of
Sion
,
this
shall
further
be
a
means
of
the
encrease
of
the
church
.
Then
saith
the
spirit
,
shall
ten
men
take
hold
out
of
all
languages
,
euen
take
hold
of
the
skirt
of
him
that
is
a
Iew
,
and
say
we
will
go
with
you
,
for
wee
haue
heard
that
God
is
with
you
.
Thus
as
the
confounding
of
the
practices
of
the
wicked
,
shal
be
a
meanes
to
scatter
and
disolue
their
confideracies
,
so
the
deliuerance
of
the
church
,
shal
be
a
furtherance
to
the
gathering
againe
of
the
dispersed
of
Israell
,
that
they
may
behold
,
and
conferre
of
what
the
Lord
hath
done
for
them
,
and
so
be
prouoked
to
ioyne
together
in
due
thankfullnes
vnto
his
Maiesty
for
the
same
.
For
so
it

First

in

:
wherein

loue

acknowledging
nothing
of
what
the
Lord
hath
done
vnto

Secondly
if

God

yet
shall
we
be
so
blinded
on
the

with
the
loue
of
these
earthly
thinges
as
that
though
wee
haue
and
may
farther
be
pertakers
of
spirituall
graces
,
yet
shall
wee
account
these
as
nothing
,
in
respect
of
the
comforts
of
this
life
,
but
with
prophane

resolue
,
what
is
this
birthright

seeing
I
die

as

still
shall
we

incident
to

who
measuring
the

principally

the

A
third
token
of
not
vnderstanding
what
God
hath
done
for
vs
,
is
our
forgetfulnesse
of
such
benefits
which
are
dayly
bestowed
,
certaine
it
is
that
the
mercies
of
the
Lord
are
renewed
euery
morning
,
and
yet
who
is
there
that
makes
vp
his
audite
therof
once
in
the
weeke
:
nay
may
we
not
be
iustly
charged
with
th●s
,
that
God
is
not
so
ready
to
giue
,
as
we
to
forget
,
hee
not
so
forward
in
bestowing
,
as
we
in
burying
his
blessings
in
forgetfulnesse
.
And
is
not
this
to
forget
the
goodnesse
of
God
all
one
,
as
if
wee
did
not
vnderstand
it
?
nay
surely
;
we
shall
find
it
to
lie
more
heauily
vpon
vs
,
in
that
this
forgetfulnesse
,
both
implies
some
apprehension
of
them
,
and
therefore
makes

then
if

vnto
all

,
doth
thereby
hasten
the
wrath
of

vpon

Thus
may
wee
faile
in
the
vnderstanding
of
the
good
,
that
God
hath
done
for
vs
:
and
by
meanes
hereof
,
wee

a
second
iudgement
,
not
onely
to
haue
such
tallents
taken
from
vs
,
but
in
steed
thereof
,
as
the
Prophet
Esaiah
threatneth
,
Seeing
when
mercie
is
shewed
vnto
the
wicked
,
he
will
not
learne
righteousnesse
,
but
in
the
land
of
quitie
hee
will
doe
wickedly
,
and
doth
not
consider
the
greatnesse
of
Iehouah
,
therefore
thus
saith
the
holy
Ghost
:
Seeing
they
will
not
see
,
oh
Iehouah
,
when
thy
hand
is
exalted
to
their
good
,
therefore
they
shall
see
and
bee
confounded
with
the
zeale
of
thy
people
,
and
the
fire
of
thine
enemies
shall
deuoure
them
.
Thus
shall
it
befall
those
that
will
not
behold
the
mercies
of
GOD
,
to
bee
stirred
vp
thereby
to
thankefull
obedience
for
the
same
:
if
they
shutte
their
eyes
against
Gods
blessings
,
the
Lord
will
open
them
with
his
iudgements
,
and
they
shall
see
in
the
day
of
Iudgement
,
GOD
the
A●enger
,
which
will
not
acknowledge
their
great
rewarde
.
Wouldest
thou
therefore
auoide
that
sight
of
Gods
vengeance
,
which
shall
spiritually
blind
thee
,
that
so
thou
maiest
be
oppressed
with
the
horror
of
it
,
and
it
shall
necessarily
open

,
that
thou
maiest
bee

them
daily

thee

and
yet
all
this
to
his
further
condemnation
,
because
Idolatry
was
yet
continued
,
and
maintayned
.
And
so
no
doubt
haue
our
aduersaries
abroad
,
and
enimies
at
home
beene
enforced
to
speake
of
Gods
wonderfull
mercies
towards

And
yet
behold
a
further
meanes
herein

for
the
condemnation

the
wicked

Saul

in

art

for

&
I
haue
rendred
thee
euil
,
oh
what
a
confort
is
it
here
to
the
seruants
of
God
,
that
wisdome
shall
not
onely
be
iustified
of
her
children
,
but
euen
of
her
enemies
,
our
very
aduersaries
shall
giue
testimony
vnto
the
goodnesse
of
our
cause
,
oh
what
a
terror
is
this
vnto
the
wicked
,
that
they
shall
thus
desperately
fight
against
the
light
of
their
owne
consciences
,
that
when
they
see
that
the
Lord
doth
maintaine
his
owne
cause
,
and
when
they
haue
beene
compelled
to
acknowledge
,
that
our
cause
is
Gods
,
yet
they
shall
continue
their
malice
against
so
good
a
cause
,
yet
they
shall
thus
desperately
fight
against
heauen
,
and
prouoke
the
holy
one
of
Israel
to
their
iust
confusion
.
And
yet
behold
the
Lord
will
open
their
mouthes
further
to
their
fearefull
condemnation
,
euen
by
the
gratious
deliuerances
that
he
performeth
vnto
his
children
.
It
was
much
that
Saul
should
iustifie
the
innocencie
of
Dauid
,
wonderfull
was
the
Lord
herein
,
to
wring
from
a
reprobate
,
the
approbation
of
his
seruant
,
and
very
holy
herein
was
the
Iustice
of
God
,
in
discouering
this
wilfull
obstinacy
of
a
cast-away
,
that
so
hee
might
prepare
him
thereby
to
his
further
condemnation
.
But
all
this
while
,
innocency
though
it
were
praised
,
yet
it
went
a
begging
.
Dauid
might
be
promised
a
kingdome
&
yet
was
not
sure
of
his
life
;
Nay
for
the
safegard
of
it
,
he
is
driuen
to
a
narrow
shift
;
euen
in
a
sort
to
venture
his
innocency
it selfe
.
So
are
Gods
children
to
seeke
of
that
which
is
theirs
in
hope
,
that
God
may
haue
the
glory
of
what
they
do
enioy
,
so
doth
the
Lord
prepare
his
,
to
the
obtaining
of
a
blessing
,
that
comming
vnto
it
at
so
hard
a
rate
,
they
might
more
highly
prize
it
,
when
they
shall
obtaine
.
But
did
not
the
Lord
heere
giue
his
seruant
some
token
,
that
hee
would
recompence
him
according
to
his
innocency
?
yea
surely
:
the
Lord
that
opened
the
mouth
of
his
enemy
,
to
giue
testimony
vnto
the
one
,
hee
also
opened
the
same
to
be
a
Prophet
of
the
other
.
Harken
(
my
beloued
)
&
wonder
at
the
prouidence
of
God
,
I
know
(
saith
Saule
)
that
thou
shalt
be
King
,
and
that
the
kingdome
of
Israel
shal
be
established
in
thy
hand
.
Loe
here
Saule
is
amonge
the
Prophets
to
declare
glad
tidings
to
the
Saints
,
&
to
speak
feareful
things
against
themselues
.
Harken
howe
the
wife
of
Haman
becomes
a
prophetesse
vnto
her
husband
,
of
the
deliuerance
of
the
Church
,
and
a
swift
witnesse
of
the
destruction
of
the
enemies
thereof
.
If
Mordecay
(
saith
she
)
be
of
the
seede
of
the
Iewes
,
before
whom
thou
hast
begunne
to
fall
,
thou
shalt
not
preuaile
against
him
,
but
shalt
surely
fall
before
him
.
Marke
(
I
pray
you
)
the
ground
of
this
prophecye
,
the
wicked
haue
begunne
to
fall
before
the
righteous
nation
,
some
vpper
hand
haue
they
had
against
their
enemies
,
what
doth
this
infidell
collect
herevpon
?
surely
the
wicked
shall
fall
more
and
more
before
the
righteous
,
till
at
lenght
the
righteous
shal
haue
dominion
ouer
them
in
the
morning
.
Wouldst
thou
then
haue
a
token
that
thine
enemies
shal
be
confounded
?
consider
then
howe
from
time
to
time
they
haue
fallen
before
thee
:
certenly
if
thou
be
of
the
seed
of
the
Iewes
,
and
of
that
royall
generation
,
thou
shalt
one
day
haue
all
thine
enemies
thy
footstoole
.
Wouldst
thou
haue
a
further
euidence
to
confirme
this
vnto
thee
?
behold
the
Lord
shall
open
the
mouth
of
thine
enemie
to
bewray
their
fainting
spirits
,
that
so
thou
maist
be
comforted
as
Gideons
Souldiers

by
this
testimony

that
the
Lord
shal
giue
them
vp
into
thy
hands
,
and
thou
shalt
make
a
ful
end
of
them
.
Oh
but
(
thou
wilt
say
)
how
can
these
things
stand
together
?
Saul
tells
shall
certenly
be
King
,
and
yet
hee
continues
persecuting
him
to
take
away
his
life
from
him
:
May
not
this
be
a
policy
to
make
him
secure
,
that
he
may
the
more
easily
seaze
vpon
him
?
I
see
indeed
(
will
the
weake
Christian
say
)
that
God
hath
deliuered
his
church
from
time
to
time
,
&
I
heare
euen
the
enemie
giuing
ouer
for
a
time
,
Behold
we
preuaile
nothing
against
him
,
for
all
the
world
runneth
after
him
,
and
yet
I
see
the
aduersaries
are
in
hope
stil
,
I
see
they
are
stil
practising
,
and
plotting
against
the
soules
of
the
righteous
what
may
I
conceaue
hereof
?
may
I
not
iustly
feare
with
Dauid
,
that
I
shall
one
day
perish
by
the
hand
of
Saul
,
that
at
length
these
aduersaries
shall
obtaine
their
desire
against
the
church
,
and
therevpon
resolue
rather
vpon
some
indirect
course
to
corrupt
my
conscience
,
or
abate
of
my
sincerity
,
that
so
glosing
with
them
,
I
might
finde
fauour
because
his
time
is
short
,
if
thou
therefore
seest
the
instruments
of
Satan
,
still
to
rage
more
fiercely
against
the
spouse
of
Christ
,
know
thou
for
a
certenty
,
that
their
time
is
but
short
,
and
that
thou
maist
not
want
a
prophesie
to
confirme
thee
herein
,
consider
but
what
their
desperate
practises
doe
speake
vnto
thee
.
If
they
were
not
affraid
to
loose
their
kingdome
,
if
they
had
not
a
presage
in
their
conscience
,
that
Christs
Kingdome
would
one
day
We
will
not
haue
this
man
to
raigne
ouer
vs
.
But
the
trueth
is
to
holde
their
own
.
Here
is
the
matter
,
the
Iewes
had
this
Oracle
from
their
Father
the
Deuill
,
that
if
they
let
Christ
alone
,
the
Romanes
would
come
and
take
away
their
Kingdome
,
And
therefore
Daube
vp
their
hypocrisie
,
and
vnderproppe
their
to●tering
Kingdome
,
but
yet
because
they
saw
his
course
to
bee
cleane
contrary
a
sharpe
reprouer
of
their
hipocrisie
,
and
a
mayne
beaterdowne
of
their
carnall
pompe
,
and
vanity
,
redemption
of
mankind
:
and
so
proued
the
occasion
of
the
ouerthrow
of
their
kingdome
.
So
doth
the
Lord
Confound
the
wisdome
of
the
wise
,
and
turneth
their
malice
vpon
their
owne
pates
.
In
like
sort
the
aduersaries
of
the
Church
haue
carried
themselues
.
A
kingdome
they
haue
vsurped
vpon
by
the
power
of
Sathan
,
and
through
his
Subtilty
and
violence
,
the
temple
of
God
,
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
so
that
a
man
would
thinke
they
neede
feare
no
downefall
as
hauing
with
Tyrus
built
their
n●sts
so
high
Oh
but
al
this
honour
is
nothing
vnto
them
,
so
long
as
Mordakie
wil
not
bowe
vnto
them
,
there
is
a
little
flocke
which
is
a
great
●o●●
in
their
eye
,
as
being
founded
vpon
that
stone
●●wen
out
without
hands
,
which
as
the
Lord
hath
prophesied
so
their
consciences
are
conuinced
withall
,
That
it
shall
breake
in
peeces
whatsoeuer
exalteth
it selfe
against
God
,
If
Mordakie
would
bowe
to
Hamon
,
and
the
of
Papists
are
a
like
hereticall
,
as
those
of
Hugunots
and
the
most
deuoted
popelings
soonest
made
their
prey
,
so
lit●le
do
they
esteeme
religion
in
respect
of
their
lusts
,
so
easily
may
we
may
perceiue
the
cause
of
all
their
quarrells
.
And
yet
that
they
may
not
want
a
visor
to
deceiue
themselues
and
others
religion
must
be
the
colour
,
&
the
crosse
must
be
the
standard
,
and
the
Church
and
Saints
of
God
must
goe
downe
,
because
they
are
not
profitable
&
an
aduantage
vnto
them
.
Thus
because
the
spouse
of
Christ
cannot
indure
the
wages
and
habite
of
the
harlot
,
because
there
is
no
halting
betwixt
two
opinions
,
but
wee
must
stand
for
God
and
him
alone
:
seeing
Dagon
cannot
stand
before
the
Arke
of
God
,
and
the
Kingdome
of
Christ
,
will
certenly
confound
the
purple
Strumpet
:
Therefore
doeth
shee
band
her selfe
with
the
Kings
of
the
earth
,
against
the
Lord
,
and
against
his
annointed
,
&
makes
continual
war
with
the
Saints
of
God
.
But
wil
you
see
with
what
Issue
?
Certenly
to
the
exceeding
good
&
profit
of
the
church
,
which
is
continually
Watred
with
the
blood
of
the
Martyrs
,
and
by
these
daily
afflictions
prepared
vnto
her
bridgrome
:
and
to
the
hastening
of
their
own
most
woeful
and
vnavoydable
destruction
.
For
as
the
blood
of
the
Saints
,
on
the
one
side
,
crying
for
vengeance
hasteneth
the
wrath
of
increase
of
their
malice
adding
to
the
measure
of
their
sinne
doth
at
the
length
bring
the
same
to
ripenesse
,
that
so
the
sickle
of
Gods
vengeance
might
bee
put
in
accordingly
.
Maruaile
not
therefore
if
the
aduersary
increaseth
his
rage
against
the
Saints
of
GOD
:
for
wot
you
what
?
his
kingdome
hath
receiued
his
deaths
wound
,
and
now
the
only
hope
is
euen
desperate
wickednesse
.
And
shall
I
now
be
cast
downe
,
when
I
see
them
so
desperate
?
No
saith
our
Sauiour
,
when
you
see
these
things
,
then
lift
vp
your
heads
,
for
your
redemption
draweth
neere
.
I
need
no
truer
a
prophet
of
the
destruction
of
Popery
,
then
to
obserue
how
it
breaketh
out
into
desperate
and
most
barbarous
courses
for
the
maintenance
thereof
:
neither
neede
I
other
weapons
to
vphold
a
righteous
cause
,
then
what
the
malice
of
mine
enemie
shall
minister
vnto
me
.
Onely
let
vs
bee
wise
to
make
this
vse
of
these
weapons
,
as
Hezakiahs
did
of
the
letters
of
Rabshacks
,
let
vs
not
answere
these
fooles
according
to
their
foolishnesse
,
let
vs
not
feare
their
that
for
his
sake
wee
suffer
these
reproches
,
that
for
him
it
is
we
are
appointed
,
as
sheepe
for
the
slaughter
;
let
vs
not
cast
a
way
our
confidence
which
hath
so
greate
hope
of
reward
,
but
in
patience
possesse
our
soules
,
reseruing
vengeance
for
the
Lord
,
and
committing
our selues
in
well
dying
into
the
handes
of
our
faithfull
creator
,
and
then
let
vs
looke
that
is
comming
will
come
in
the
needefull
time
,
the
snare
shal
be
broken
and
wee
deliuered
,
and
our
enemies
shall
full
into
the
pit
which
they
haue
digged
for
vs
.
Let
vs
now
in
a
word
,
examine
our selues
by
this
second
effect
of
Gods
wonderful
mercies
,
namely
that
all
men
shal
declare
the
worke
of
God
.
We
haue
heard
,
how
they
do
open
the
mouthes
of
the
wicked
,
not
onely
to
acknowledge
the
greatnesse
of
the
worke
,
but
to
giue
testimony
also
vnto
the
power
of
the
workeman
,
yea
further
to
approue
the
innocency
of
the
saints
,
and
lastly
,
to
prophecy
of
the
deliuerance
of
the
rightrous
,
and
their
owne
confusion
,
wee
haue
also
heard
;
howe
they
doe
open
the
mouthes
of
the
saints
,
not
onely
to
cheare
vp
one
another
in
the
worship
of
GOD
,
and
to
be
confirmed
in
the
sincerity
thereof
:
but
further
to
acknowledge
the
righteous
power
of
God
,
and
to
prophecy
vnto
themselues
,
the
continuance
of
Gods
mercie
,
for
the
time
to
come
.
Uerily
there
is
a
reward
for
the
righteous
,
that
is
the
Lord
hath
stored
vp
a
full
recompence
for
them
,
in
if
wee
should
bould
our
peace
,
the
very
stones
would
speake
,
thereof
;
and
therefore
it
is
to
bee
fea●ed
,
that
the
stones
one
day
will
rise
vp
in
Iudgement
against
many
,
whose
mouthes
haue
either
beene
shut
vp
,
as
being
confounded
therewith
,
or
opened
blasphemously
to
the
dishonour
of
God
:
so
did
that
it
was
not
God
but
the
deuill
,
that
disclosed
so
desperate
a
treason
,
as
thinking
that
God
would
not
hinder
so
good
a
longer
stay
vpon
him
,
I
wish
if
they
belong
not
vnto
the
Lord
,
my
heartie
prayer
is
that
they
may
bee
so
deceiued
still
,
that
,
that
God
whom
they
will
not
honor
in
their
obedience
to
his
substitute
,
may
be
honoured
in
their
iust
confusion
,
from
his
presence
for
euer
.
If
any
common
discourses
shall
be
put
into
new
matter
,
hereby
to
fill
vp
the
newes
at
a
Table
,
or
else
where
,
to
get
himselfe
credit
,
enuie
him
not
,
neither
doe
I
forbid
him
,
whether
it
be
of
enuie
or
strife
,
vaine
glory
,
or
vanitie
,
whether
of
pretence
,
sincerely
that
this
worke
be
spoken
of
,
therein
I
ioy
,
and
therein
I
will
ioy
,
as
knowing
it
shall
redound
to
Gods
glory
,
and
the
good
of
such
whom
all
men
may
speake
of
this
wonderfull
worke
of
God
,
that
so
God
may
haue
the
glory
in
that
all
g●ue
testimonie
therevnto
,
and
his
children
may
haue
the
comfort
in
the
meditations
thereof
.
I
will
not
heare
vndertake
to
scanne
the
policie
in
this
case
,
I
know
secrecie
is
an
excellent
meanes
to
search
the
bottome
of
a
mischiefe
,
that
so
in
the
end
it
may
deepenesse
of
Sathan
may
be
discouered
,
and
the
inmost
secret
of
the
iniquitie
of
his
instruments
may
be
throughly
laide
open
,
and
truely
searcht
,
from
that
bitter
roote
of
will-worship
,
which
is
the
ground
thereof
:
and
then
I
monster
of
superstition
,
whose
foundation
selfe
loue
,
and
whose
practise
is
nothinels
but
an
●mp●●g
,
and
abasing
,
of
all
others
,
to
fill
and
exalt
it selfe
:
and
when
our
mouthes
shal
be
thus
iustly
opened
in
detestation
of
this
ambition
,
then
shall
they
bee
opened
also
to
giue
GOD
the
glory
for
the
discouery
of
this
beast
,
and
not
worshipping
the
same
,
that
so
approuing
of
the
holy
ones
,
wee
may
desire
to
bee
like
vnto
them
,
and
GOD
may
giue
vs
according
to
our
desire
.
And
when
wee
haue
felt
our selues
how
good
the
Lord
is
:
as
the
Samaritanes
professed
that
they
beleeued
not
because
the
woman
told
them
,
but
in
that
they
haere
and
knowe
him
themselues
:
so
now
wee
our selues
shal
be
able
to
speake
of
this
deliuerance
,
not
vpon
the
heare
say
o●
apprehension
of
o●hers
,
but
vpon
our
owne
sownd
knowledge
and
apprehension
thereof
:
and
that
this
is
the
effect
of
effectuall
declaring
the
workes
of
God
,
the
holy
ghost
is
our
witnesse
in
that
he
addeth
.
And
they
shall
vnderstand
what
he
hath
wrought
.
It
is
a
good
effect
of
great
workes
when
they
shall
open
our
eyes
,
to
behold
the
same
as
being
a
good
furtherance
to
see
GOD
in
them
,
that
so
wee
may
reach
the
further
light
,
wherein
seeing
him
in
the
face
of
his
sonne
Christ
Iesus
,
hee
might
acknowledge
his
Children
.
And
therefore
the
holy
Ghost
not
content
to
tell
vs
that
all
men
shall
see
〈◊〉
,
to
acknowledge
a
GOD
,
addeth
further
in
the
second
place
,
that
they
shall
declare
what
God
hath
donne
,
signifying
thereby
,
that
the
workes
of
God
shall
further
preuaile
in
them
to
a
more
particular
knowledge
of
God
in
they
shall
declare
the
worke
of
God
:
that
is
,
they
shall
say
,
this
is
the
Lords
doing
:
&
yet
if
onely
our
mouthes
shall
be
opened
to
see
that
God
hath
done
this
,
and
shall
no
further
apprehend
what
God
hath
done
,
that
so
we
may
further
say
,
is
maruailous
in
our
eyes
,
neither
shall
we
in
the
worke
apprehend
the
power
of
the
workeman
,
and
so
come
short
herein
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Heathen
,
neither
shal
we
be
euer
able
to
measure
true
thankfulnes
accordingly
:
if
we
cannot
comprehend
the
greatnes
of
the
workē
:
knowledge
of
the
workeman
,
teach
vs
to
looke
downe
againe
into
the
greatnesse
of
the
worke
,
when
he
saith
.
And
shall
vnderstand
what
he
hath
wrought
,
signifying
thereby
,
that
when
the
workes
of
God
shall
open
our
eyes
to
see
God
in
them
,
then
also
by
the
knowledge
of
God
shall
we
attaine
to
the
true
nature
and
greatnesse
of
the
worke
,
that
so
wee
may
returne
againe
vnto
God
,
a
proportionable
measure
of
thankes
giuing
for
the
same
.
Behold
here
a
third
effect
of
Gods
wonderfull
workes
,
as
being
a
necessarie
goodnesse
of
a
blessing
,
vnlesse
the
vnderstanding
comprehend
the
greatnesse
of
it
,
and
if
we
shall
not
comprehend
how
good
the
Lord
is
vnto
vs
,
we
shall
neuer
resolue
to
returne
him
good
againe
.
whatsoeuer
is
not
of
faith
is
sinne
,
and
it
is
not
a
generall
and
confused
knowledge
,
but
a
distinct
and
perticular
apprehension
of
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
which
is
the
meanes
to
be
get
faith
,
therefore
that
what
we
doe
,
may
be
acceptable
vnto
God
,
very
requisite
it
is
,
that
we
comprehend
what
is
the
length
and
the
breadth
,
the
high
and
the
depth
of
Gods
mercies
towards
vs
,
that
so
we
may
performe
their
redemption
by
Iesus
Christ
,
that
so
we
may
be
filled
with
all
fulnesse
of
God
,
so
seeing
all
other
workes
of
mercie
,
are
deriued
from
that
fountaine
,
therefore
are
we
to
labour
the
like
apprehension
,
of
all
such
blessings
as
the
Lord
from
time
to
time
bestoweth
vpon
vs
(
so
farre
as
their
compasse
doth
require
)
that
so
our
mouthes
may
inspired
of
God
to
make
the
man
of
God
perfit
:
so
shall
we
finde
it
exceeding
plentifull
to
informe
our
vnderstandings
in
the
true
apprehension
of
such
blessings
as
are
bestowed
vpon
vs
:
that
so
we
may
measure
out
our
thanksgiuing
accordingly
.
To
instaunce
onely
in
that
a
benefit
comprehend
the
greatnesse
thereof
.
As
euery
deliuerance
implieth
two
things
.
First
a
danger
lying
vpon
vs
,
secondly
,
a
recouery
of
vs
out
of
the
same
:
so
hath
the
spirit
exceedingly
helped
our
vnderstandings
to
the
particular
apprehension
of
both
these
,
in
expressing
vnto
vs
most
liuely
the
greatnesse
of
the
danger
,
and
also
inlarging
most
effectually
the
strangenesse
of
the
recouery
.
The
greatnesse
of
a
danger
may
appeare
by
these
three
circumstances
,
greatnesse
of
the
power
that
threatens
the
same●
Secondly
,
by
the
weakenesse
of
the
meanes
in
our selues
to
auoide
the
per●ll
:
&
lastly
by
that
impossibilitie
which
appeares
in
any
helpe
elsewhere
.
If
our
enemies
be
mightie
,
the
danger
must
needs
be
great
,
but
yet
there
may
be
hope
,
if
there
be
a
powre
to
match
the

If
the
power
be
wanting
in
our selues
,
the
danger
is
greater
,
especially
if
our
owne
hearts
may
herein
faile
vs
and
yet
for
all
this
,
though
our

do
faile

and
our

also
,
there
may
be
hope
from
without
to
supply
our
wants
,
if
not
from
man
,
who
is
deceitfull
,
yet
from
our
God
who
neuer
failes

But
when
the
light
of

looke
on
our
right
hand

and
there
is
none
to
helpe
vs
:
when
we
shall
turne
to
the
left
and
see
no
issue
,
when
shall
say
in
our
haste
,
that
our
God
hath
forsaken
vs
,
and
when
we
shall
heare
our
enemies
say
,
they
haue
deuoured
vs

This
danger
may
seeme
past
recouery
:
And
yet
behold
the
spirit
witnesseth
that
such
hath
beene
the
daunger
of
the
Church
,
and
Saints
of
God
from
time
to

,
yea
she
hath
found
an
issue
vsually
in
such
Straights

the
Church
euen
as
a

out
of
the
snare
of

Fouler

the
snare
is
broken
,
and
wee
are
deliuered

Marke
of
the
Fouler
,
how
effectuall
is
the
snare
to
take
this
silly
Foule
,
what
hope
is
there
of
deliuerance
when
the
bird
is
caught
therein
,
and
yet
behold
our
soule
is
deliuered
,
euen
as
a
Bird
,
out
of
the
snare
of
the
fowler
,
so
desperate
is
our
danger
,
and
so
wonderfull
is
our
recouery
,
what

Is
not
this

Nay
what

of

bones
scattered
in

open
fields

withered

these

saith
the
spirit
of

:
yea
saith
the
Lord
,
behold
I
wil
cause

to
enter
into
you
,
&
you
shal
liue
,
Loe
heere
the
desperate
estate
of
the
Church
of
GOD
,
euen
as
a
Dead
Man
and
quite
out
of
mind
,
nay
,
as
rotten
and
consumed
to
the
very
bones
,
by
the
continuance
of
the
trouble
,
and
extremity
thereof
,
so
that
wee
may
not
onely
tell
all
her
boanes
:
but
indeed
there
dead
and
drye
bones
left
of
her
.
Yet
saith
the
Lord
these
boanes
shall
liue
,
yet
shall
the
desolate
Church
become
an
exceeding
great
Armie
:
yea
terrible
with
banners
,
to
the
confusion
of
her
enemies
,
,
vnderstand
therefore
the
greatnesse
of
thy
deliuerance
,
by
the
greatnesse
of
the
daunger
,
and
sound
the
depth
of
thy
daungers
these
points
accordingly
,
call
to
mind
I
pray
thee
the
deadly
plot
that
was
prepared
for
thee
in
the
practise
of
thine
enemies
,
which
the
Lord
hath
disappointed
,
and
by
deliuerance
,
great
was
thy
daunger
in
that
thou
wast
Appointed
as
a
Sheepe
to
the
slaughter
:
And
yet
herein
was
it
greater
that
the
Daunger
was
not
knowne
.
By
auoide
it
.
Whereby
this
present
State
,
was
vtterly
vnprepared
by
repentance
to
meete
thy
GOD
.
Consider
howe
this
might
haue
indaungered
Thy
Estate
for
the
life
to
come
.
And
if
the
Lord
hath
preuented
that
Blowe
,
because
thou
wast
not
prepared
,
Oh
take
heede
to
Tempt
this
GOD
by
security
hereafter
,
least
the
like
suddaine
vengeance
may
speedily
ouertake
thee
:
Certenly
if
the
malice
of
thine
enemy
bee
as
Hell
that
can
neuer
be
satisfied
,
increase
of
thy
sinne
,
will
adde
more
fuell
to
it
.
And
though
the
Lord
may
spare
for
a
time
because
some
stand
in
the
gappe
.
Yet
when
they
shal
be
taken
from
the
iudgements
to
come
and
thy
sinnes
shal
be
ripened
by
continuance
therein
:
Knowe
then
for
a
certenty
that
thy
Danger
is
now
greater
,
in
that
thorough
the
hardenesse
of
thyne
heart
,
which
cannot
repent
,
thou
dost
heap
vp
wrath
,
against
thy selfe
,
against
the
day
of
wrath
,
and
thy
Maister
will
come
in
an
howre
when
thou
knowest
not
,
and
giue
thee
thy
portion
with
the
Hypocrytes
,
there
shall
bee
great
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
.
It
was
a
notable
testimony
of
the
Apostles
loue
vnto
euerlasting
perdition
,
(
if
so
it
might
haue
stood
with
the
good
pleasure
of
God
,
)
whereby
the
seruant
of
God
did
imply
,
that
the
preuenting
of
a
generall
danger
,
was
to
be
preferred
before
a
perticular
,
and
that
the
losse
of
a
priuate
state
,
ought
to
redeeme
a
publike
.
Had
it
beene
so
then
that
either
thine
owne
priuate
state
had
beene
aymed
at
,
or
though
the
generall
life
of
priuate
person
,
would
quench
their
vnmeasurable
mallice
:
for
then
yet
the
body
might
haue
continued
,
though
an
inferiour
member
had
bin
cut
off
,
Nay
,
yet
inlarge
thine
vnderstanding
,
and
conceiue
yet
further
.
It
was
not
one
principall
member
that
would
weaker
wisedome
could
resolue
them
so
farre
,
that
if
the
roote
were
cut
off
,
yet
the
branches
might
florish
,
and
so
their
malice
discouered
,
and
yet
not
further
their
ambition
.
What
then
was
the
plot
?
and
how
grieuous
was
the
danger
?
surely
euen
to
cut
off
head
and
tayle
,
roote
and
branches
,
vtterly
with
one
blow
;
euen
to
ruinate
,
head
and
members
,
There
is
hope
Iob
)
of
a
tree
,
if
it
bee
cut
downe
,
there
will
yet
sprout
,
and
the
branches
thereof
wil
not
perish
,
though
the
roote
thereof
waxe
old
in
the
earth
,
and
the
stockethereof
be
dead
in
the
ground
,
yet
by
the
descent
of
waters
it
wil
bud
&
bring
forth
boughes
like
a
plant
.
But
as
for
man
he
is
sick
and
dieth
,
&
man
perisheth
,
and
where
is
hee
?
signifying
thereby
that
there
is
no
hope
of
him
.
And
surely
had
we
only
hope
in
this
life
,
wee
were
not
onely
liuing
of
all
men
most
miserable
,
but
dying
also
our
hope
must
needes
perish
with
vs
But
here
is
the
hope
of
the
Saints
,
that
not
onely
their
sufferings
shall
giue
further
life
to
the
Church
in
this
world
,
but
shall
prepare
them
to
a
blessed
life
in
the
world
to
come
.
So
that
now
though
hee
kill
vs
,
yet
wee
will
trust
in
both
by
the
inward
testimonie
of
his
Spirit
,
approuing
so
our
innocencie
that
gouernment
of
the
same
Spirit
soreuiuing
his
Church
,
till
the
heauens
bee
no
more
,
and
euen
then
liuing
and
remayning
shall
bee
caught
vp
in
the
cloudes
to
meete
the
Lord
in
the
ayre
,
and
so
for
euer
to
bee
with
the
Lord
.
So
did
the
Lord
prouide
for
his
seruaint
Iob
,
that
when
hee
was
wearie
of
his
life
,
yet
hee
was
not
wearie
of
his
innocencie
,
and
hee
what
hope
hath
the
hypocrite
when
he
hath
heaped
vp
riches
,
if
God
take
away
his
soule
.
Implying
thereby
that
if
hee
were
an
hipocrite
,
and
had
no
sound
testimonie
of
his
sincerity
,
then
indeed
,
if
GOD
should
kill
him
,
he
could
not
trust
in
him
,
then
he
had
no
hope
,
if
his
soule
should
be
taken
away
.
But
seeing
he
knew
that
the
liuing
Lord
had
taken
away
his
iudgement
,
because
the
Almighty
had
put
his
soule
in
bitternesse
,
and
the
ground
of
this
his
sauing
knowledge
,
was
the
testimonie
of
his
innocencie
,
proceeding
from
the
vndoubted
worke
and
euidence
of
the
Spirit
:
Therefore
doeth
hee
cleaue
to
the
testimonie
of
his
good
conscience
,
as
whe●
by
hee
was
assured
,
not
onely
to
come
out
of
these
troubles
,
but
further
also
was
bould
to
professe
that
Hee
knew
that
his
redeemer
liued
,
and
that
hee
should
see
GOD
in
the
flesh
.
Behould
the
meanes
testimonie
of
our
innocencie
and
vprightnesse
of
heart
.
And
yet
behold
a
further
testimonie
for
the
confirmacion
of
the
same
.
Doest
thou
see
the
Spirit
of
GOD
ruling
in
the
Church
,
and
gouerning
so
comfortably
the
troubles
of
the
same
:
that
though
she
die
dayly
,
yet
shee
liues
continually
Not
onely
in
that
though
the
outward
man
perish
,
yet
the
inward
man
is
renued
dayly
,
but
especially
heerein
is
the
continuate
life
of
the
Church
wonderfull
,
that
the
bloud
of
the
Martirs
becomes
the
seede
of
the
Church
:
Doest
thou
heare
the
wicked
say
,
Come
let
vs
vtterly
roote
them
out
?
Do
the
Godly
complaine
,
they
haue
destroyed
all
,
there
is
no
hope
:
and
yet
doeth
the
Lord
say
still
concerning
the
desolations
of
his
Church
:
The
roote
of
the
righteous
shal
not
bee
remoued
.
Yet
therein
will
I
leaue
a
tenth
,
which
shall
continewe
,
and
shall
bee
eaten
vp
as
an
Elme
:
or
an
Oake
,
which
haue
a
substance
in
them
when
they
cast
their
leaues
:
so
the
holy
seede
shal
be
the
substance
thereof
.
Though
I
vtterly
destroy
all
the
nations
:
where
I
haue
scattered
thee
,
yet
I
will
not
vtterly
destroy
thee
,
but
I
will
correct
thee
by
iudgement
,
and
not
vtterly
cut
thee
off
.
Are
these
the
promises
of
thy
GOD
concerning
his
spouse
that
shee
shall
continue
vnto
the
worlds
ende
?
hath
the
performance
of
them
beene
answerable
from
time
to
time
therevnto
,
that
so
by
the
experience
of
her
former
preseruation
,
thou
maist
collect
that
the
Lord
will
deliuer
her
to
the
end
:
and
by
her
wonderfull
continuance
in
this
life
,
thou
maist
further
gather
art
weake
that
the
Church
of
GOD
,
may
bee
strong
,
that
thou
art
abased
that
the
church
may
be
exalted
?
Yea
though
it
should
so
fall
out
,
that
the
Church
were
to
bee
fetcht
againe
with
thy
dearest
blood
.
If
now
thou
shalt
not
set
light
by
any
troubles
,
that
in
this
respect
may
befall
thee
:
If
nowe
thy
life
shall
not
be
vile
vnto
the
,
That
thou
maist
fulfill
thy
course
with
ioy
,
If
this
shall
not
be
thy
testimonie
that
thou
hast
euen
beene
ready
,
not
onely
to
distribute
the
Gospell
of
God
vnto
thy
people
for
the
after
groeth
of
the
Church
;
but
euen
thine
owne
soule
:
surely
neuer
looke
to
approue
thy selfe
a
good
sheepheard
vnto
thy
people
,
Neither
looke
to
giue
vp
thy
account
with
ioy
,
and
to
shine
as
a
starre
in
the
Firmament
for
euer

Behold
how

hope
of
the
Saints
concerning
the
life
to
come

and

the

The
Liues
of
the
Saints
would
not
serue
their
malice
,
but
they
will
haue
a
deuise
to
robbe
them
of
their
innocencie
,
by
laying
that
on
their
poore
sheepe
,
which
the
Wolues
would
haue
done
.
It
was
not
the
life
of
the
Prince
royall
seede
,
immortall
seede
of
the
word
;
yea
moreouer
to
abolish
vtterly
the
seed
of
the
righteous
,
that
all
hope
of
posteritie
in
the
Church
might
finally
be
extinguished
,
as
hauing
neither

Oh
consider
the

of
this
diuellish
malice

and
magnifie

And
yet
that
thy

may
bee

as

This
shal
be
written
for

that

And
further
,
that
wee
might
learne
to
iudge
rightly
of
a
deliueraunce
,
hee
addeth
:
And
the
people
which
shal
be
created
,
shall
praise
the
Lord
,
meaning
that
a
deliueraunce
from
so
great
a
danger
,
was
to
bee
accounted
no
lesse
,
then
a
new
creation
,
that
is
of
nothing
,
euen
raysing
vp
a
creature
,
and
a
new
giuing
of
such
blessinges
as
hee
is
furnished
withall
.
Wouldest
thou
therefore
vnderstand
aright
,
what
God
hath
done
for
thee
in
this
great
deliueraunce
?
Surely
,
if
thou
doest
not
accompt
as
nothing
,
whatsoeuer
thou

if

that
whatsoeuer
thou
art

or

thou
must
not
reckon
it
from

,
but
from
this
wonderful
deliuerance
:
consider
what

renued
in
the
Sp●rit
of
thy

,
and
bee
cloathed
with
new
song
of
praise
vnto
thy
GOD
,
which

the
righteous
onely
to
performe
,
for
so
it
followeth
.
But
the
righteous
shall
reioyce
in
the
Lord
.
Behold
here
a
further
dutie
in
the
intertainment
of
this
great
deliuerance
,
and
that
limited
vnto
the
righteous
:
namely
,
that
they
shall
reioyce
in
the
Lord
for
the
same
.
Not
that
they
shall
not
behold
,
declare
,
or
vnderstand
,
as
what
God
hath
done
for
them
:
(
for
these
are
good
furtherances
to
the
dutie
of
thankfulnesse
:
)
but
that
though
they
doe
these
things
,
yet
they
shall
not
stay
heere
,
(
as
the
wicked
doe
,
)
but
shall
proceed
further
to
reioyce
in
the
Lord
for
the
same
,
by
celebrating
the
praises
of
the
Lord
according
to
his
benefits
.
A
dutie
verie
fitly
appropriated
to
the
righteous
.
For
they
onely
haue
right
in
this
ioy
,
and
therefore
if
the
Lord
haue
done
great
things
for
them
,
they
may
safelie
reioyce
therein
;
and
they
onely
know
how
to
vse
this
ioy
aright
,
and
therefore
may
with
greater
libertie
enlarge
themselues
therein
;
they
onely
haue
true
cause
of
ioy
,
euen
the
testimonie
of
their
doe
sanctifie
the
blessing
vnto
them
,
and
so
procure
the
continuance
of
it
;
And
they
onely
shall
haue
no
end
of
theirioy
,
and
therefore
may
not
feare
the
ouerthrow
thereof
.
And
indeede
,
that
hee
doth
not
suffer
our
enemyes
to
triumphe
ouer
vs
?
And
what
greater
cause
the
fauour
of
GOD
shineth
vpon
vs
?
And
if
the
experience
of
Gods
former
Goliah
shall
bee
as
one
of
these
:
And
because
the
Lorde
hath
deliuered
vs
,
and
doth
deliuer
vs
,
therefore
wee
can
say
further
,
that
hee
will
deliuer
vs
,
finally
out
of
all
our
sowen
in
teares
and
manifolde
afflictions
,
should
in
due
time
,
Reape
in
ioye
,
the
fruite
of
all
their
troubles
in
the
wayes
of
God
.
And
seeing
there
is
a
time
for
all
things
,
and
an
appointed
time
to
reioyce
,
as
there
is
to
mourne
.
Therefore

of
affliction
wee
must
consider
,
and
in
the
day
of
mirth
and
deliuerance
,
wee
must
bee
of
good
comfort
,
and
to
expresse
our
ioy
,
wee
must
sing
prayses
vnto
our
God
.
So
hath
the
Lord
himselfe
appointed
this
time
.
I
will
deliuer
thee
,
and
thou
shalt
glorifie
mee
;
So
haue
the
Saints
imployed
this
time
.
So
reioyced
Moses
and
Miriam
,
with
their
seuerall
companies
for
their
delirance
out
of
Egypt
:
So
did
Debora
and
Barak
exercise
the
people
for
their
deliuerance
from
the
Cananites
:
So
did
Dauid
imploy
himselfe
for
his
deliuerances
from
time
to
time
from
his
enemies
:
So
did
the
Church
reioyce
for
her
deliuerance
from
that
cruell
conspiracie
of
Haman
.
And
as
when
a
iudgement
hath
beene
eyther
threatned
or
inflicted
vpon
the
seruants
of
God
:
they
haue
set
a
part
dayes
of
humiliation
,
the
better
to
fitte
themselues

to
meete
the
Lord
by
true
repentance
:
as
did
the
Niniuites
,
Iehosophat
,
and
diuers
others
in
the
like
case
:
So
when
the
Lord
hath
remooued
the
iudgement
from
them
,
and
hath
giuen
them
a
gratious
and
happy
deliuerance
,
that
they
might
neuer
forget
such
mercies
and
be
fully
inlarged
in
thankfulnes
for
the
same
:
they
haue
also
seperated
certaine
dayes
to
be
imployed
principally
in
the
expressing
their
ioy
,
by
such
meanes
as
may
fitte
and
further
the
same
.
Such
were
those
dayes
of
feasting
and
thanksgiuing
instituted
from
time
to
time
,
by
the
godly
Magistrates
to
remember
the
blessings
that
the
Lord
had
bestowed
vpon
them
,
and
to
giue
him
speciall
prayses
on
Iudas
Machabeus
institute
the
feast
of
the
dedication
in
remembrance
of
the
purging
of
the
Temple
from
the
prophanations
of
Antiochus
,
a
Sauiour
Christ
himselfe
seemed
to
approue
by
his
owne
presence
in
the
10.
of
Iohn
;
So
did
our
Gratious
Soueraigne
set
apart
the
5.
of
August
in
remembrance
of
his
wonderfull
deliuerance
from
the
conspiracies
of
the
Gowries
:
And
so
for
euer
may
the
5.
of
Nouember
be
separated
and
recorded
amongst
vs
,
as
by
the
wonderfull
prouidence
of
God
in
discouering
the
horrible
treasons
of
the
Papists
,
beeing
turned
vnto
vs
from
sorrow
to
ioy
,
and
from
murning
into
a
ioyfull
day
to
be
kept
with
feasting
and
ioy
and
to
all
posterities
;
so
long
as
the
name
of
Great
Britaine
shal
be
had
in
remembrance
.
Thus
hath
the
Lord
appointed
dayes
of
ioy
,
and
thus
hath
man
vpon
iust
consideration
celebrated
and
confirmed
such
daies
to
posterity
,
not
inuenting
therein
any
other
worship
then
God
hath
appointed
,
but
vpon
such
extraordinary
occasions
giuing
more
liberty
thereby
vnto
the
publicke
worship
of
God
,
as
beeing
vnder
God
the
determiner
of
order
and
decency
,
according
to
the
general
rules
of
equity
prescribed
in
Gods
blessed
word
.
And
thus
may
euen
priuate
persons
set
apart
some
howre
,
nay
,
some
day
in
the
weeke
vpon
the
like
occasions
to
a
more
intire
and
immediate
worship
of
God
then
in
their
ordinarie
callings
,
as
not
beeing
otherwise
tied
to
bodily
labour
on
the
sixe
dayes
,
then
that
they
might
be
better
fitted
to
the
spirituall
workes
on
the
seuenth
;
and
not
beeing
extraordinary
worship
on
these
dayes
of
labour
,
then
for
the
prouision
of
their
families
,
and
obedience
to
authority
,
and
that
without
presumption
of
Gods
prouidence
,
and
opinion
of
necessity
or
merit
.
Other
institution
then
this
of
such
festiuall
dayes
I
can
finde
none
lawfull
.
Neither
indeed
do
I
account
euen
this
institution
,
anie
otherwise
lawfull
,
then
it
is
kept
vndefiled
from
abuse
and
superstition
,
Considering
what
the
holy
Ghost
addeth
to
trie
our
ioy
by
that
it
must
bee
in
the
Lord
.
And
being
thus
bounded
,
the
spirit
giues
vs
free
liberty
,
Reioyce
in
the
Lord
alwaies
,
and
againe
,
I
say
reioyce
.

And
surely
verie
necessary
it
is
that
our
ioy
should
be
thus
bounded
,
least
our
liberty
being
an
occasion
to
the
flesh
,
sowing
thus
to
the
flesh
,
wee
of
the
flesh
reape
corruption
,
and
so
our
ioy
shal
be
turned
into
sorrow
.
But
howe
shall
I
approue
my
ioy
to
be
in
the
Lord
?
surely
there
are
these
markes
to
try
it
by
.
Hath
the
Lord
done
great
things
for
thee
,
whereof
right
order
and
measure
therein
:
both
which
must
be
according
to
the
diuersity
of
the
things
wherein
thou
doest
reioyce
.
That
we
may
keepe
a
right
order
in
our
ioy
for
the
blessings
of
God
,
the
holy
Ghost
giues
vs
Who
spared
not
his
owne
sonne
,
but
gaue
him
to
die
for
vs
,
how
shall
he
not
with
him
giue
vs
all
things
else
.
Signifying
therein
thus
much
vnto
vs
,
that
,
in
that
the
Lord
hath
giuen
vnto
vs
the
Fountaine
,
hee
will
not
denye
vs
the
streames
,
and
thereby
teaching
vs
this
order
in
reioycing
for
Gods
benefits
,
as
to
deriue
our
ioy
from
the
Fountaine
to
the
Streames
:
not
to
rest
our
ioye
in
the
streams
but
to
returne
it
to
the
fountaine
,
that
the
giuer
of
all
good
blessings
,
may
be
first
and
last
in
our
ioy
:
First
he
must
be
in
our
ioy
,
that
thereby
as
we
haue
these
blessings
and
fauour
of
him
,
so
we
may
bee
assured
also
that
wee
haue
them
in
him
,
and
thereby
haue
a
testimony
that
they
are
sanctified
vnto
vs
,
that
so
now
we
may
haue
a
right
vnto
,
and
comfort
in
the
vse
of
them
:
and
last
also
must
our
God
be
in
this
affection
of
ioy
.
It
must
at
no
hand
rest
in
the
blessing
,
for
so
it
wil
be
a
meanes
to
drawe
vs
from
the
fountaine
,
and
our
resolution
then
must
bee
so
farre
from
reioycing
in
the
streames
,
as
that
we
must
count
them
all
as
dung
in
respect
of
the
fountaine
Iesus
Christ
.
But
,
seeing
God
is
the
Giuer
,
and
receiuer
too
,
Seeing
he
is
the
ending
,
as
well
as
the
beginning
:
therefore
must
our
ioy
be
determined
in
nothing
,
but
in
him
,
that
so
hereby
ordering
of
our
ioy
.
The
Blessings
that
God
hath
renued
vnto
vs
in
this
great
deliuerance
are
very
manie
,
and
yet
some
come
neere
vnto
the
fountaine
then
others
.
Some
that
haue
right
hand
.
As
whatsoeuer
principally
concerne
the
life
to
come
:
Namely
the
Nursery
of
the
Church
,
consisting
of
the
Nurses
both
temporall
and
spirituall
.

of
the
Milke
of
the
Gospell
,
and
communion
of
Saints
to
be
nourished
thereby
:
Together
with
the
manifold
pledges
and
fruites
thereof
,
as
Peace
of
conscience
,
our
ioye
in
the
Spirit
,
and
growth
in
Christ
,
and
such
like
.
Others
haue
beene
the
blessings
of
the
left
hand
,
as
our
Goods
,
Country
,
Friends
:
&c.
Examine
wee
now
our selues
,
whither
our
ioy
hath
beene
ordered
aright
or
no
,
if
it
hath
beene
first
the
blessings
of
the
right
hand
,
rather
then
for
the
other
.
Nay
,
if
wee
could
haue
beene
contented
to
haue
redeemed
the
blessings
of
the
right
hand
,
with
the
losse
of
the
blessings
of
the
left
,
nay
,
if
nowe
wee
can
bee
contented
to
abate
our
ioy
in
the
one
,
that
wee
may
take
our
fill
in
the
other
,
these
are
good
tokens
that
our
ioy
is
ordered
aright
.
So
was
the
affection
of
Mephibosheth
ordered
aright
,
when
the
King
would
make
him
some
part
Lord
the
King
was
come
home
in
peace
,
that
hee
euen
resolued
:
let
him
take
all
the
lands
:
as
beeing
not
willing
that
the
lesser
blessinge
should
haue
any
part
in
his
ioy
.
Oh
that
wee
had
this
testimonie
of
our
true
ioy
for
this
deliuerance
,
that
wee
did
nowe
more
reioyce
in
the
reuiuyng
of
the
Gospell
,
and
the
meanes
thereof
,
the
publique
blessing
of
happie
gouernment
,
then
in
any
priuate
blessing
whatsoeuer
,
prefering
Ierusalem
to
all
our
mirth
.
Oh
that
many
may
not
iustly
be
charged
with
this
disordered
ioy
,
that
they
could
haue
beene
contented
to
haue
lost
the
bessings
of
the
right
hand
,
and
haue
thought
it
aboue
the
Lord
,
it
shall
be
the
meanes
to
bring
a
curse
vpon
that
blessing
,
and
so
bee
the
occasion
that
in
the
end
it
shall
be
taken
from
vs
,
that
wee
which
would
not
reioyce
aright
in
GOD
,
shall
now
haue
nothing
wherein
truely
to
reioyce
.
But
if
so
bee
that
wee
haue
so
reioyced
in
the
principall
blessings
,
that
in
steed
of
them
,
the
other
haue
beene
vile
vnto
vs
,
certainely
this
will
teach
vs
ioy
in
them
:
though
these
bee
taken
from
vs
,
and
beeing
wise
with
the
blessed
Salomon
to
preferre
the
greater
blessings
,
we
shall
haue
the
lesse
also
cast
ouer
and
aboue
into
the
rekoning
vnto
vs
,
that
so
our
ioy
may
be
full
wanting
nothing
:
and
so
vsing
the
lesse
,
that
wee
do
not
set
our
hearts
vpon
them
,
but
are
able
to
extend
our
ioy
vnto
the
giuer
of
them
,
wee
shall
by
this
meanes

beeing
found
faithfull
in
a
little
,
bee
made
stewardes
of
greater
blessings
,
that
so
returning
all
vnto
our
God
in
that
small
measure
which
we
enioy
in
this
life
,
he
may
be
all
in
all
vnto
vs
in
an
heaped
vp
measure
in
the
life
to
come
.
And
thus
ordering
our
ioy
shall
wee
find
it
to
bee
in
the
Lord
,
and
so
shall
wee
also
find
it
by
the
right
measure
thereof
,
proportioned
both
according
to
the
things
wee
doe
inioy
,
as
they
doe
exceede
each
other
in
worth
and
excellencie
,
and
also
to
the
right
vse
and
imployment
thereof
.
So
doeth
our
Sauiour
giue
his
disciples
the
rule
,
when
he
had
giuen
them
that
excellent
gift
of
subduing
all
aduerse
power
.
But
reioyce
not
in
this
that
the
Spirits
are
subdued
vnto
you
;
but
reioyce
rather
that
your
names
are
written
in
heauen
:
therein
not
forbidding
them
to
reioyce
at
all
in
these
excellent
gifts
,
(
for
they
were
great
blessings
of
GOD
,
and
therefore
they
might
lawfully
reioyce
in
them
,
)
but
teaching
them
therein
a
true
measure
of
their
ioy
,
that
they
should
more
reioyce
more
excellent
blessings
.
The
best
apprehension
of
this
right
measure
,
shall
bee
gained
by
the
discouerie
of
two
extreames
,
either
of
reioycing
too
much
,
when
the
cause
doth
not
require
,
or
of
reioycing
too
little
,
if
the
matter
be
of
moment
:
Wouldst
thou
know
in
this
deliuerance
,
reioyce
too
much
?
If
it
hath
not
bettered
thee
in
the
way
to
heauen
:
If
thou
hast
not
answered
the
end
of
a
deliuerance
,
euen
to
serue
thy
God
more
conscionably
in
newnesse
of
life
:
If
thou
art
so
set
vpon
thy
lyes
,
and
bound
in
the
seate
of
the
scorners
,
that
thou
hatest
to
bee
reformed
,
for
all
these
mercies
:
though
all
things
are
renewed
vnto
thee
,
yet
thou
remaynest
in
thine
olde
sinnes
.
If
it
bee
not
more
ioy
vnto
thee
to
doe
righteously
,
then
to
receiue
good
at
the
hands
of
GOD
;
Why

in

seeing
thou
hatest
to
bee
reformed
?
wretch
that
thou
art
,
what
hast
thou
to
doe
with
ioy
,
that
still
reioycest
in
thy
sinne
?
Thou
maiest
well
say
vnto
laughter
thou
art
madde
,
and
vnto
ioy
depart
farre
from
mee
.
Surely
any
ioy
in
this
case
is
too
much
vnto
thee
.
Wouldest
thou
haue
a
president
to
direct
thee
heerein
?
when
the
Lord
had
deliuered
the
Iewes
from
the
handes
of
the
Ethiopians
,
it
is
recorded
by
incouraged
by
the
prophets
of
the
Lord
,
the
First
worke
that
hee
did
,
was
to
purge
the
land
of
all
it
abhominations
.
And
so
performed
true
thankefulnesse
vnto
his
GOD
in
deedes
and
not
in
wordes
.
Afterwardes
hee
gathered
togither
all
the
remainder
of
the
people
to
Ierusalem
,
to
offer
sacrifice
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
to
make
a
couenant
with
him
,
of
an
oath
,
yea
further
by
a
most
grieuous
penaltie
of
death
for
default
all
Iudah
reioyced
at
the
oath
,
and
therevpon
followed
a
most
comfortable
blessing
,
that
the
Lord
gaue
them
rest
round
about
.
Marke
I
pray
you
in
this
example
the
true
vse
and
intertainment
of
a
deliuerance
.
Heere
is
sinne
first
remoued
,
which
was
the
cause
of
the
former
danger
,
that
so
the
like
might
not
after
befall
them
.
Then
heere
is
a
course
taken
to
preuent
sinne
to
come
,
by
most
euident
signes
of
true
conuersion
vnto
GOD
,
that
so
they
might
inioy
both
temporall
,
and
spirituall
happienesse
.
And
then
,
when
the
Lord
was
first
made
glad
with
the
conuersion
of
his
seruants
,
and
when
the
Angells
had
cause
of
ioy
for
the
repentance
of
sinners
,
then
came
ioy
in
a
right
order
from
heauen
vnto
earth
,
and
the
vessells
beeing
thus
fitted
to
receaue
this
heauenly
influence
,
the
holy
Ghost
recordeth
,
that
the
people
reioyced
,
and
showted
euen
vp
to
heauen
,
as
making
a
sweete
consent
therein
with
God
and
the
Angels
.
Oh
neuer
let
vs
looke
ioy
of
the
Dragons
shall
be
better
accepted
of
God
,
then
the
reioycing
of
such
sinners
,
that
proceedes
not
from
repentance
.
Oh
let
vs
haue
respect
at
least
vnto
our
Seede
and
posteritie
.
Doe
wee
know
what
we
doe
,
by
this
entertainement
of
a
deliuerance
,
as
to
reioyce
therein
without
reformation
of
our
liues
?
Surely
wee
prouoke
the
Lord
to
hate
our
feast
dayes
,
hee
hath
protested
hee
will
not
smell
in
our
solemne
assemblies
;
But
doe
they
prouoke
mee
(
sayeth
the
Lord
)
and
not
rather
themselues
,
to
the
confusion
of
their
faces
?
Yes
surely
,
as
our
workes
in
his
owne
countrey
,
because
of
their
vnbeleefe
:
so
let
vs
not
looke
hereafter
for
the
like
wonderfull
worke
of
GOD
,
if
this
bee
the
best
fruite
,
the
multiplying
of
our
sinnes
:
and
then
consider
what
wrong
wee
shall
doe
vnto

leade
thee
a
little
further
in
the
examining
of
thy selfe
,
concerning
thy

this
measure
of
Ioseph
is
in
affliction
,
and
therefore
thou
must
sorrow
too
.
If
therefore
thou
canst
not
bee
more
sorrowfull
in
the
sorrow
of
the
afflicted
,
then
ioyfull
in
respect
of
thine
owne
priuate
good
,
surely
thy
reioyfing
is
not
good
.
Thou
takest
too
much
ioye
vnto
thy selfe
,
and
giuest
too
little
sorrow
vnto
the
cause
of
thy
brother
.
To
lead
thee
yet
a
step
further
,
in
the

rule
,
in
a
case
not
vnlike
.
As
hee
would
not
haue
other
men
eased
,
that
wee
should
bee
grieued
,
but
the
matter
be
grieued
thereby
:
but
wee
must
now
so
temper
our
ioy
,
that
there
may
be
an
equalitie
,
that
all
the
same
benefite
with
vs
,
as
their
conditions
,
and
meanes
doe
require
.
Indeed
if
the
wicked
shall
see
Gods
mercie
vpon
vs
,
and
bee
angrie
;
If
he
shall
gnash
his
teeth
,
and
consume
away
;
If
the
male-contents
and
runnegates
,
that
gaped
for
the
spoile
,
being
now
disappointed
thereof
,
hang
downe
their
heads
,
and
eate
their
hearts
with
sorrow
for
the
same
,
as
it
is
the
righteous
iudgement
of
GOD
vpon
them
;
so
ought
we
euen
to
inlarge
our
ioy
,
that
they
may
be
the
rather
grieued
and
vexed
thereby
:
Yea
wee
are
to
make
it
the
matter
of
our
ioy
,
to
see
the
vengeance
that
is
light
vpon
them
:
so
that
our
ioy
bee
spirituall
euen
in
the
Lord
,
that
they
may
take
no
aduantage
against
vs
:
so
that
wee
adde
vnto
their
affliction
,
not
as
they
are
ours
,
but
enemies
vnto
God
.
But
here
is
the
point
;
doest
thou
reioyce
in
this
happy
deliuerance
,
and
wouldest
thou
learne
the
true
measure
therein
?
Surely
this
is
it
;
So
reioyce
that
all
may
reioyce
with
thee
;
Grieue
not
thy
GOD
,
and
his
Saints
,
by
the
prophanesse
of
thy
were
carefull
herein
.
ioy
:
Remember
how
Moses
and
Miriam
carried
the
matter
.
That
their
ioy
might
not
be
subiect
to
prophanesse
and
sensualitie
:
Moses
and
the
men
reioyced
by
themselues
:
Miriam
and
the
women
reioyced
by
themselues
,
Such
dancing
is
allowable
,
if
the
cause
be
spirituall
.
Grieue
not
the
poore
,
by
taking
too
much
libertie
in
the
meanes
of
thy
ioy
:
deuouring
that
in
thine
excesse
,
which
is
the
blood
of
the
poore
.
Remember
the
care
that
the
Iewes
requite
them
againe
,
but
they
gaue
gifts
to
the
poore
,
that
their
hearts
might
bee
cheered
also
.
Notable
was
the
care
of
good
Nehemiah
,
to
this
purpose
.
We
according
to
our
habilitie
haue
redeemed
our
brethren
the
Iewes
,
which
were
solde
vnto
the
Heathen
,
that
they
also
might
reioyce
with
vs
:
And
will
you
sell
them
againe
,
or
shall
they
be
sold
vnto
vs
,
that
they
may
be
grieued
,
and
we
reioyce
?
So
saith
the
Spirit
,
he
stopped
their
mouthes
,
they
held
their
peace
,
and
could
not
answer
.
Oh
that
our
oppressors
and
inclosers
,
were
thus
put
to
silence
,
that
they
were
not
able
to
answere
their
selling
and
thrusting
out
of
the
poore
:
Well
,
when
he
hath
thus
put
them
to
silence
,
though
hee
might
haue
commanded
(
as
he
was
their
gouernour
,
)
yet
he
falles
to
intreate
them
for
a
restitution
in
this
case
,
that
so
the
blessing
of
the
poore
might
be
vpon
them
,
and
they
might
cause
the
hearts
of
the
widowes
to
reioyce
.
And
what
followed
herevpon
?
The
rich
are
perswaded
,
and
the
poore
are
eased
,
and
so
the
mouthes
of
all
are
opened
to
praise
the
Lord
.
But
is
this
all
?
doth
Nehemiah
play
the
For
twelue
yeares
space
(
he
professeth
)
that
he
had
not
eaten
the
bread
of
the
gouernour
.
And
whereas
the
former
gouernours
had
beene
chargeable
to
the
people
,
by
taking
of
their
bread
and
wine
,
and
he
did
not
so
:
And
he
giues
the
reason
,
because
he
feared
God
.
Not
that
simplie
it
is
not
lawfull
for
a
religious
Gouernour
,
to
bee
maintained
by
the
common-wealth
;
for
indeed
it
is
most
righteous
and
necessarie
to
be
done
.
But
the
meaning
is
to
confirme
vs
this
equalitie
of
ioy
,
that
in
a
case
of
extremitie
,
when
others
are
in
want
;
and
wee
by
taking
our
vtmost
due
,
may
adde
vnto
their
affliction
,
if
it
shall
please
God
inferiour
blessings
,
that
they
may
be
meanes
to
further
vs
in
the
right
entertainment
of
the
greater
,
yeelding
somewhat
of
our
state
and
outward
maintenance
vnto
others
(
so
as
we
may
notwithstanding
,
leaue
a
competencie
to
our selues
,
to
maintaine
a
reasonable
port
)
that
so
they
may
ioyne
with
dutie
of
thanks-giuing
,
as
they
are
ioyned
with
vs
in
the
blessing
of
the
deliuerance
:
Otherwise
wee
shall
not
onely
signifie
that
wee
could
haue
beene
well
ridde
of
them
,
that
we
had
not
cared
,
so
the
iudgement
had
swept
them
away
,
seeing
we
are
escaped
,
as
counting
them
burdens
vnto
the
land
,
and
eye-sores
vnto
vs
;
but
further
also
giuing
them
occasion
of
griefe
,
when
we
should
all
reioyce
.
This
must
needs
follow
herevpon
,
that
they
crying
vnto
the
Lord
for
vengeance
against
vs
,
while
we
are
reioycing
in
the
Lord
,
for
his
mercies
towards
vs
:
The
Lord
will
heare
their
crye
,
and
confound
our
ioy
,
by
deliuering
them
out
of
trouble
,
and
casting
vs
in
their
stead
.
Oh
that
wee
were
wise
to
consider
these
things
,
that
by
this
we
would
trye
our
ioy
,
whether
it
exceed
or
no
:
if
it
be
the
occasion
of
griefe
vnto
others
?
Farre
be
it
from
vs
,
that
seeing
the
Lord
hath
preuented
this
mischiefe
,
and
so
hath
lengthned
the
date
of
our
Stewardships
,
therefore
we
shall
fall
to
beating
of
our
fellow
seruants
vpon
presumption
,
that
our
maister
will
now
deferre
his
comming
,
because
he
hath
so
lately
knocked
at
our
doores
,
and
so
insteed
of
furthering
the
generall
ioy
,
by
the
renuing
of
our
liues
,
we
shall
yet
send
the
poore
into
the
house
of
mourning
,
and
thereby
that
seruants
Maister
will
come
in
a
day
,
when
hee
looketh
not
for
him
,
and
in
an
houre
that
he
is
not
aware
of
,
and
will
cut
him
off
,
and
giue
him
his
portion
with
hypocrites
,
there
shall
be
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
.
Lastly
wouldst
thou
know
,
how
thou
maiest
exceed
ioy
now
,
that
thou
maiest
not
reioyce
hereafter
,
either
by
exceeding
in
the
outward
meanes
,
whereby
thy
estate
shall
vnnecessarily
be
impaired
,
or
else
by
giuing
the
bridle
vnto
thy
carnall
affections
;
thou
art
hereby
hindered
in
the
wayes
of
godlinesse
,
and
art
decayed
in
thy
zeale
and
courage
for
the
truth
.
So
that
howsoeuer
the
Lord
hath
giuen
thee
thy
desire
,
in
deliuering
he
hath
sent
leannesse
into
thy
soule
,
and
that
little
which
thou
seemest
to
haue
had
,
is
taken
away
from
thee
,
thou
hast
reioyced
too
much
,
and
hast
wilfully
ryoted
thy
stock
,
which
might
haue
serued
thee
all
thy
life
long
.
Certainely
,
if
wee
shall
but
once
learne
how
to
reioyce
aright
,
it
will
be
a
bountifull
stock
to
maintaine
vs
all
our
liues
,
not
onely
when
God
doth
God
doth
take
away
,
which
is
the
most
excellent
triall
of
an
holy
and
constant
ioy
.
Examine
therefore
thy selfe
on
the
other
side
,
by
the
other
extreame
,
how
thou
mayest
reioyce
too
little
,
in
this
all
the
Lords
people
may
be
partakers
thereof
:
That
thou
doest
not
wish
withall
,
a
generall
and
finall
deliuerie
of
the
Church
of
God
out
of
all
her
troubles
,
Nay
,
doest
not
labour
in
thy
calling
,
the
conuersion
of
thy
brother
,
that
he
reioycing
is
too
short
,
as
wanting
both
faith
in
the
promises
of
God
,
yea
and
loue
also
,
in
not
prouoking
others
to
be
partakers
thereof
?
nay
if
thou
art
not
so
glad
of
the
blessing
which
thou
hast
receiued
,
as
that
,
though
it
doe
not
euery
way
answer
thine
expectation
,
yet
thou
canst
submit
thy selfe
,
vnto
the
measure
that
God
hath
allotted
thee
,
&
vsing
the
present
good
vnto
the
glory
of
thy
God
,
thou
shalt
waite
with
patience
the
increase
thereof
,
not
grudging
at
that
little
which
thou
hast
in
respect
of
others
,
but
wisely
considering
how
little
thou
hast
deserued
,
yet
also
doest
thou
reioyce
too
little
,
because
thou
doest
not
reioyce
in
God
,
submitting
thy selfe
to
his
will
:
nay
further
,
yet
to
sound
thy
conscience
,
if
thou
doest
so
onely
reioyce
in
the
blessing
thou
hast
receiued
,
as
that
thou
art
not
prepared
in
thy
heart
to
vndergoe
the
contrarie
,
if
thy
God
haue
a
purpose
to
trie
thee
by
the
same
:
surely
yet
thy
reioycing
is
too
short
,
as
not
proceeding
from
true
contentation
,
aswell
to
want
,
as
to
abound
.
Againe
,
if
thou
shalt
so
reioyce
in
the
good
thou
emptied
in
thy selfe
,
wholy
in
the
conceit
of
thine
owne
worthinesse
,
and
to
acknowledge
that
thou
art
so
farre
from
deseruing
this
blessing
,
as
that
nothing
is
due
vnto
thee
,
but
shame
and
confusion
of
thy
face
:
that
thou
hadst
had
thy
desert
if
the
enemy
had
preuailed
,
and
God
might
haue
beene
glorified
in
thy
iust
confusion
,
because
thou
hast
continually
rebelled
against
him
.
Surely
yet
also
thy
reioycing
is
too
short
,
as
being
not
seasoned
with
true
humility
,
for
want
whereof
it
shal
be
taken
from
thee
.
Lastly
,
if
thou
canst
so
onely
reioyce
in
the
blessing
see
further
by
the
same
,
into
the
blessings
of
the
life
to
come
,
that
so
thy
ioy
in
this
deliuerance
,
may
bee
a
pledge
vnto
thee
of
that
full
cup
of
ioy
which
shall
tunne
ouer
in
thy
finall
deliuerance
,
out
of
all
thy
troubles
,
so
that
the
sight
of
that
ioy
(
though
it
be
a
far
off
)
shall
yet
so
rauish
thy
heart
with
the
feeling
thereof
,
as
that
it
shall
vtterly
drowne
,
and
swallow
vp
all
sense
of
present
ioy
,
for
any
present
blessing
whatsoeuer
,
euen
yet
also
thy
ioy
is
too
short
,
as
being
a
blind
and
fading
ioy
,
which
cannot
see
a
farre
off
,
and
indeed
the
portion
which
God
hath
giuen
thee
in
this
life
,
that
so
thou
mayest
not
share
with
the
godly
in
the
life
to
come
.
Oh
consider
this
,
wee
that
haue
beene
partakers
of
his
great
deliuerance
,
whether
it
hath
wrought
in
our
hearts
such
ioy
which
shall
neuer
be
taken
away
from
vs
.
Certenly
if
we
shall
thus
reioyce
,
we
shall
reioyce
in
the
Lord
,
and
then
it
followeth
that
we
shall
also
trust
in
him
,
our
ioy
shall
be
the
meanes
to
confirme
our
fayth
,
and
our
faith
,
shall
be
the
meanes
to
confirme
our
ioy
,
that
no
man
shal
be
able
to
take
it
away
from
vs
.
It
followeth
.
And
shall
trust
in
him
.
Lohere
the
sauing
effect
of
all
Gods
mercies
in
his
true
ioy
in
them
,
Being
a
liuely
euidence
,
that
they
are
sanctified
to
vs
,
&
by
experience
of
Gods
mercy
confirming
our
faith
for
the
time
to
come
:
for
neither
haue
we
any
right
in
Gods
mercies
,
vnlesse
wee
receiue
by
faith
,
neither
can
we
truely
reioyce
in
them
,
vnlesse
by
faith
we
giue
the
glory
vnto
God
for
them
neither
though
we
haue
right
vnto
them
,
shall
they
yet
be
sanctified
vnto
vs
,
vnlesse
they
be
matter
for
the
confirmation
of
our
faith
.
As
therefore
we
haue
beene
taught
how
to
temper
our
ioy
that
it
may
bee
matter
how
to
increase
our
faith
:
so
let
vs
learne
in
a
worde
how
to
irye
our
faith
,
that
so
it
may
bee
meanes
of
the
increase
of
our
ioy
,
that
the
end
of
our
faith
,
may
be
the
accomplishment
of
our
ioy
in
the
full
saluation
of
our
soules
for
euer
.
There
are
the
notes
to
trye
our
faith
by
.
Is
thy
heart
there
is
no
euill
which
thou
shalt
not
vndercome
,
there
is
no
good
thing
which
thou
shalt
not
be
maister
of
.
The
euils
that
do
vsually
assault
our
faith
are
of
two
sorts
,
the
first
are
such
as
are
simply
euil
,
and
these
are
such
temptations
and
sinnes
that
hang
so
fast
vpon
vs
.
The
second
are
such
things
as
beeing
not
euill
in
themselues
are
yet
notwithstanding
either
by
opinion
or
vse
made
euill
vnto
vs
,
those
which
are
good
in
themselues
,
and
yet
euill
by
opinion
,
are
such
punishments
and
afflictions
as
from
time
to
time
,
are
inflicted
vppon
vs
.
These
which
being
good
in
themselues
are
made
euill
by
abuse
,
are
the
temporal
blessings
of
this
life
,
as
riches
,
honour
,
and
such
like
:
And
to
these
in
some
sort
may
be
referred
the
things
that
are
called
indifferent
.
Wouldst
thou
nowe
thou
sayest
,
thou
hast
no
sinne
,
thou
deceiuest
thy selfe
.
Trie
therefore
thy selfe
by
thy
victories
ouer
sinne
.
Doth
sinne
assault
thee
&
Satan
intice
,
behold
here
is
the
victory
of
thy
faith
,
that
thou
consentest
not
to
that
wicked
one
.
Doest
thou
consent
runnest
not
willingly
with
thy
full
consent
,
but
art
drawne
violently
against
the
law
of
thy
mind
.
Hast
thou
committed
the
sinne
,
and
doest
lie
for
a
roused
out
of
it
.
Not
so
much
by
the
touch
of
thy
conscience
(
for
that
is
common
to
the
wicked
)
as
by
the
power
of
the
spirit
which
wil
raise
thee
vp
againe
.
Doest
thou
fall
againe
into
the
same
sinnes
?
yet
behold
herein
is
the
victory
thy
sinnes
(
because
it
is
not
thou
,
but
sinne
that
dwelleth
in
thee
)
Nay
,
they
are
not
the
same
sinnes
,
neither
the
same
in
quality
,
as
hauing
lost
much
of
their
former
force
.
Neither
the
same
in
operations
,
working
O
wretched
man
that
thou
art
,
who
shall
deliuer
thee
from
this
body
of
sinne
?
Behold
heere
is
a
meane
victory
of
thy
faith
.
Be
it
vnto
thee
according
as
thou
beleeuest
,
Corruption
in
due
time
,
shal
be
cloathed
with
Corruption
.
Thus
maiest
thou
trye
thy
faith
by
thy
sinnes
,
and
in
the
seuerall
victories
thereof
,
confirme
thy selfe
therein
,
not
by
each
of
them
seuerally
,
but
by
all
of
them
in
degrees
:
As
the
Lord
,
shall
lead
thee
along
in
the
experience
of
these
conquests
.
As
for
those
euils
which
are
so
conceiued
in
the
world
,
namely
the
euills
of
afflictions
,
which
are
iustly
lead
vpon
thee
.
Examine
the
victory
of
thy
faith
ouer
these
,
euen
by
these
rules
.
Art
thou
a
christian
,
and
is
affliction
thy
portion
?
Let
this
be
the
first
triall
of
thy
faith
,
to
prepare
thy
soule
vnto
them
:
Put
it
in
thy
reckoning
,
if
thou
wilt
liue
godly
in
Christ
Iesus
,
that
thou
must
necessarily
suffer
great
afflictions
.
Art
thou
entred
into
the
combate
,
and
wouldst
thou
haue
a
triall
of
a
conquest
?
First
submit
thy selfe
willingly
vnder
the
mighty
hand
of
GOD
,
that
thou
maiest
witnesse
thy
submission
,
be
are
paciently
what
thy
Lord
hath
laid
vpon
thee
that
thy
patience
may
bee
exercised
,
Lay
voluntary
afflictions
vpon
thy selfe
,
follow
thy
calling
euen
in
thy
greatest
troubles
.
Giue
not
thy
bodie
to
fretting
at
the
prosperity
of
others
,
fall
to
examining
thy selfe
,
why
it
is
thus
with
thee
.
Hauing
found
out
the
cause
eyther
Sinne
,
or
Tryall
;
If
sinne
bee
the
cause
by
repentance
remoue
it
:
If
Tryall
bee
the
cause
,
to
make
experience
of
Gods
graces
in
thee
,
examine
thy selfe
,
againe
how
thou
hast
vsed
the
blessings
of
GOD
,
see
whether
some
rust
of
negligence
or
corruption
,
hath
not
fastned
vpon
thee
:
If
thou
shalt
find
it
so
,
yeeld
thy selfe
willingly
to
the
tryall
,
length
thy
righteousnesse
shall
breake
out
as
the
light
,
and
thy
wel
doing
as
the
noone
day
.
And
thus
shall
thy
faith
triumph
in
all
these
troubles
,
Though
thou
art
afflicted
,
yet
shalt
thou
not
bee
in
distresse
;
persecuted
thou
maiest
bee
;
but
thou
shalt
not
be
forsaken
,
cast
downe
thou
shalt
bee
,
and
yet
thou
shalt
not
perish
,
die
thou
doest
continually
,
and
yet
behold
thou
liuest
;
neuer
free
from
sorrow
,
and
yet
alwaies
reioycing
,
beeing
poore
thy selfe
,
and
yet
making
manie
rich
,
hauing
nothing
,
and
yet
possessing
all
things
,
though
the
outward
man
perish
,
yet
thy
inward
man
is
renewed
dayly
,
and
these
light
afflictions
which
are
but
for
a
moment
causeth
vnto
thee
a
farre
more
excellent
and
eternall
weight
of
glory
.
Thus
shalt
thou
not
onely
in
affliction
,
be
more
then
a
Conquerour
,
through
the
Supporting
hand
of
GOD
giuing
But
further
also
by
trusting
in
GOD
thou
shalt
be
deliuered
out
of
them
all
,
not
onely
from
such
snares
as
are
layde
to
intrappe
thee
in
this
life
,
but
through
faith
thou
shalt
in
the
ende
,
haue
a
full
conquest
ouer
them
all
:
GOD
shall
wipe
away
all
teares
from
thine
eies
,
there
shal
be
no
more
death
,
nor
sorrowe
,
nor
crying
.
For
GOD
shall
tread
Sathan
,
and
all
thine
enemies
vnder
thy
feete
.
Lo
heere
the
victory
of
thy
faith
ouer
all
thy
troubles
,
by
which
thou
mayest
try
thy selfe
whether
thou
art
in
the
faith
or
no.
As
thy
faith
,
(
if
it
be
found
)
will
vphold
thee
in
all
thy
troubles
,
that
thou
sincke
not
vnder
them
,
and
deliuer
thee
also
,
so
farre
out
of
them
,
in
this
life
,
as
shall
stand
with
Gods
glory
and
Thus
shall
thy
faith
inable
thee
to
triumphe
ouer
all
afflictions
,
and
so
shall
it
teach
thee
the
right
vse
of
these
outward
things
that
so
they
may
not
bee
snares
and
euills
vnto
thee
.
It
shall
teach
thee
first
to
rate
them
at
their
iust
and
true
value
,
neither
so
to
ouerprize
them
,
as
to
thinke
none
like
vnto
them
,
as
Esau
did
,
that
so
wee
may
loose
the
better
blessings
:
Neither
so
to
vnderrate
them
as
not
to
account
them
the
good
blessings
of
GOD
,
for
which
wee
must
not
giue
accoumpt
at
the
daye
of
the
comming
of
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
.
Our
faith
hauing
taught
vs
to
giue
them
their
true
worth
,
will
heereby
also
direct
vs
,
for
the
holy
obtaining
of
them
,
both
in
respect
of
the
right
order
(
which
is
to
be
obserued
First
seeke
the
kingdom
of
heauen
&
the
righteousnesse
therof
,
and
all
other
things
shall
be
cast
thereunto
.
Whereby
wee
are
first
the
best
things
that
so
wee
may
haue
a
right
in
these
:
so
not
to
neglect
these
things
altogither
,
though
now
they
shal
be
cast
vpon
vs
,
vpon
presumption
of
Gods
prouidence
,
if
wee
follow
the
better
:
but
to
remember
we
haue
a
calling
to
be
imployed
in
,
and
supplied
also
by
these
things
,
which
if
we
neglect
,
we
are
worse
then
infidells
,
which
we
must
follow
that
we
may
be
humbled
thereby
.
So
hath
GOD
disposed
the
obtaining
of
these
things
,
and
so
is
faith
guided
in
the
right
order
,
of
procuring
of
them
.
The
triall
is
that
.
1.
our
seeking
of
these
things
do
not
hinder
our
enioying
of
the
better
.
2
that
though
God
hath
six
dayes
for
these
things
,
&
but
one
for
the
other
,
yet
we
imploy
more
time
in
seeking
the
things
of
the
soule
,
them
the
things
of
the
body
;
yea
indeede
in
the
seeking
of
these
outward
things
which
concerne
this
life
,
we
may
haue
this
testimonie
,
as
that
we
shal
in
these
seeke
onely
greater
things
.
And
herein
our
faith
doeth
helpe
vs
exceedingly
,
as
both
assuring
vs
that
wee
seeke
these
thinges
not
for
themselues
;
no
not
so
much
for
our
owne
vse
as
for
Gods
glory
(
whose
good
blessings
they
are
)
and
therefore
,
that
wee
may
yeeld
obedience
to
his
commandements
:
and
not
despise
his
blessings
.
Therfore
,
wee
accompt
them
worth
the
seeking
,
and
also
in
the
seeking
of
them
,
thus
resoluing
our
consciences
that
we
seeke
them
not
for
themselues
to
rest
in
them
,
but
that
they
may
bee
stepps
vnto
vs
for
greater
blessings
,
euen
such
as
do
concerne
the
saluation
of
our
soules
.
Thus
doeth
our
faith
teach
vs
to
seeke
them
in
a
right
order
:
and
so
enableth
vs
to
ouercome
hereby
many
dangerous
euills
,
that
in
our
prepoststerous
seeking
of
these
things
doe
vsually
ouertake
vs
,
and
thereby
makes
these
good
blessings
euill
vnto
vs
.
For
hereby
as
idlenesse
and
negligence
is
condemned
,
euen
(
euen
presumption
in
Gods
prouidence
)
is
also
wisely
reiected
,
hereby
faithlesse
and
greedie
hunting
hastie
getting
,
shall
be
punished
with
two
slow
spending
:
wee
,
which
were
so
distrustfull
in
for
loue
of
that
,
which
wee
haue
got
,
and
for
loue
also
vnto
our selues
,
whereby
fearing
want
,
(
where
there
is
such
fulnesse
)
wee
therefore
depriue
our selues
of
the
present
comfort
:
either
vpon
a
malicious
ioy
,
that
we
shall
haue
it
when
others
do
a
desperate
feare
,
that
wee
may
heereafter
want
our selues
.
All
which
euills
,
as
verie
happilie
,
doeth
our
faith
ouercome
in
guiding
vs
in
the
right
order
of
seeking
these
blessings
(
as
heretofore
hath
beene
showen
)
so
doeth
it
further
also
guide
vs
,
in
the
true
meanes
,
for
the
Giue
vs
this
day
our
daylie
bread
,
thereby
implying
that
as
they
are
not
free
gift
of
God
,
so
wee
must
seeke
them
as
gifts
,
not
in
the
confidence
of
our
worthinesse
,
but
in
the
affiance
of
Gods
mercie
.
And
in
that
we
must
pray
for
the
obtayning
of
them
,
the
Spirit
signifieth
,
that
as
to
the
obtayning
of
them
,
wee
must
not
onely
vse
bodyly
labour
,
but
Spirituall
too
(
as
being
the
right
and
effectuall
meanes
to
preuaile
with
our
God
for
them
)
and
a
testimonie
also
of
our
right
and
interest
in
them
:
so
when
wee
haue
obtained
them
(
as
many
are
borne
to
great
possessions
,
and
therefore
,
because
they
haue
them
without
bodily
labour
,
therfore
they
care
not
for
the
other
meanes
to
estate
spirituall
meanes
,
as
by
prayer
,
and
the
word
,
being
onely
sanctified
and
so
secured
vnto
vs
.
Whereby
it
shall
come
to
passe
,
that
seeking
them
by
these
true
and
holy
meanes
,
either
wee
shall
obtaine
what
wee
seeke
,
or
what
is
answerable
vnto
it
,
to
the
glory
of
God
,
haue
not
these
things
,
not
to
condemne
God
,
but
our selues
,
as
hauing
not
vsed
the
right
meanes
in
obtaining
them
:
and
if
wee
haue
them
,
seeing
they
are
kept
by
the
same
meanes
that
they
are
gotten
;
therefore
we
shall
also
learne
to
preserue
them
by
prayer
,
and
such
spirituall
meanes
:
whereby
wee
may
both
be
blessed
in
the
true
vse
of
them
,
and
also
assured
of
the
continuance
of
them
,
so
farre
as
they
shall
make
for
our
good
,
and
the
glorie
of
God
.
Thus
doth
thy
faith
enable
thee
to
preuent
these
euils
:
and
thus
doth
it
also
guide
thee
,
in
the
true
measure
of
seeking
these
things
:
that
liuing
by
faith
&
not
by
sence
,
&
thereby
finding
,
consisteth
not
in
aboundance
,
but
in
the
blessing
of
God
,
we
shall
so
seeke
these
things
in
their
true
qualitie
,
as
true
measure
,
such
as
may
stand
with
our
callings
,
necessities
,
and
present
occasions
;
yet
subordinated
to
an
holy
care
of
our
posteritie
,
speciall
prouidence
of
God
,
watching
so
alwayes
ouer
vs
,
that
if
he
haue
giuen
vs
his
sonne
,
he
will
also
together
with
him
,
giue
vs
all
these
things
:
and
contenting
our selues
,
with
that
right
wee
haue
in
them
,
that
though
all
are
not
fitte
for
vs
,
yet
all
are
ours
,
to
bee
in
such
measure
supplyed
vnto
vs
,
as
may
iustifie
aboundantly
our
right
in
them
,
and
make
them
pledges
vnto
vs
of
greater
blessings
.
Thus
doth
our
faith
direct
vs
in
the
right
seeking
of
these
blessings
,
concerning
the
qualitie
and
measure
thereof
,
and
so
teacheth
vs
to
ouercome
many
euils
,
which
for
want
of
this
true
proportion
wee
fall
into
,
and
so
make
these
blessings
euill
vnto
vs
:
not
onely
that
euill
desire
of
money
,
(
which
is
the
roote
of
all
euill
,
and
makes
thy
riches
a
pitte
to
drowne
thee
in
)
but
further
also
,
the
ignorance
of
thy selfe
,
and
what
is
fit
for
thee
,
yea
further
also
,
the
fruite
of
this
euill
,
euen
selfe-loue
of
thy selfe
,
as
conceiuing
thy selfe
worthy
of
the
best
,
and
therefore
thou
wilt
seeke
with
the
best
,
why
shouldst
not
thou
haue
as
much
as
hee
:
wherevpon
follow
two
other
euills
,
Enuie
against
thy
neighbour
,
(
whose
portion
is
fatter
then
thine
,
)
and
murmuring
against
GOD
,
that
in
thy
opinion
deales
not
so
bountifully
with
his
childe
,
as
with
prophane
Esau.
All
these
temptations
,
thy
faith
maketh
thee
to
ouercome
;
and
yet
further
directeth
thee
to
vse
the
blessing
;
It
teacheth
vse
it
,
not
to
bury
it
in
the
ground
,
because
it
was
giuen
thee
to
that
end
:
In
respect
of
thy selfe
,
it
teacheth
thee
to
vse
it
soberly
,
euen
so
to
vse
it
as
though
thou
vsed
it
not
,
making
it
thy
seruant
for
thy
better
occasions
,
and
to
cast
thy
bread
vpon
the
waters
,
plentifully
to
distribute
,
and
yet
(
for
this
were
to
liue
by
sense
)
yet
from
a
bountifull
GOD
,
whereby
wee
approue
our selues
truely
to
liue
the
life
of
faith
.
And
that
wee
may
vndoubtedly
binde
the
Lord
vnto
vs
,
beholde
here
a
further
power
of
faith
,
teaching
vs
as
to
bee
contented
with
what
wee
haue
,
so
to
returne
glorie
thereof
in
thankefulnesse
vnto
our
GOD
.
By
which
wee
shall
not
onely
auoide
distrustfull
care
in
the
keeping
,
and
feare
for
the
losse
of
these
earthly
and
transitorie
things
,
(
Two
euills
that
doe
make
our
possession
theft
,
and
which
turnes
our
enioying
into
sorrow
)
but
further
also
,
wee
shall
not
feare
to
giue
vp
our
account
for
them
,
as
hauing
laid
vp
in
store
a
good
foundation
for
our selues
by
them
,
against
the
time
to
come
,
by
scattering
on
our selues
soberly
,
on
others
plentifully
,
on
our
God
thankfully
,
the
holy
Ghost
witnesseth
,
that
wee
shall
haue
plentie
,
and
aboundance
;
the
oyle
in
the
cruse
,
and
the
meale
in
the
that
little
which
thou
hast
,
shall
be
better
then
great
riches
of
the
vngodly
,
as
being
a
furtherance
vnto
thee
,
of
that
durable
riches
,
and
neuer
fading
honour
which
remaines
with
,
thee
for
euer
in
the
kingdome
And
now
enlarge
thy
heart
,
and
consider
yet
further
the
wonderfull
conquests
of
thy
faith
:
What
good
thing
is
there
,
which
heauen
and
earth
doeth
afford
,
which
is
not
ours
by
the
power
of
a
liuely
faith
?
What
should
I
tell
you
of
the
creatures
of
GOD
?
the
Creator
himselfe
is
ouercome
by
faith
.

But
the

A●mightie

preuaile
,
if
it
be
feruent
?
are
the
heauens
opened
and
shut
by
faith
?
Yea
,
hell
it selfe
,
and
all
the
powers
thereof
are
subiect
thereunto
.
Is
this
the
victorie
of
our
faith
,
that
it
ouercometh
the
world
?
Nay
,
herein
behold
the
glorious
conquest
thereof
that
it
ouercometh
him
,
that
made
the
world
.
Let
me
alone
(
saith
God
vn●o
Moses
)
where
he
p●aied
vnto
him
for
the
people
:
So
strongly
had
Moses
tied
the
Lord
vnto
him
by
his
faithfull
prayer
.
What
can
wee
desire
more
?
Behold
heere
the
victorie
of
faith
,
and
learne
to
try
thy selfe
by
these
things
,
whether
this
deliuerance
hath
confirmed
thy
faith
in
God
,
whether
thou
bee
in
the
,
faith
,
or
no
?
And
for
our
further
triall
and
conclusion
of
these
meditations
consider
wee
,
what
the
holy
Ghost
addeth
.
And
all
that
are
vpright
in
heart
shall
reioyce
.
Therein
(
as
I
take
it
)

Because
the
heart
is
that
which
as
God
requires
first
so
he
fits
it
that
it
may
beworthilie
giuen
vnto
him
.
discerne
that
true
righteousnesse
which
is
of
faith
,
namely
by
the
soundnes
and
vprightnesse
of
the
heart
.
So
doth
the
spirit
describe
those
that
are
truel●
righteous
&
so
may
true
righteousnesse
best
be
iudged
,
euen
from
the
soundnes
&
sincerity
of
the
heart
,
for
as
the
heart
is
that
which
principally
God
requires
as
knowing
that
if
it
be
giuen
vp
vnto
him
,
the
rest
will
follow
.
So
is
it
that
,
which
first
he
fittes
,
that
it
may
be
yeelded
vp
vnto
him
,
as
an
acceptable
sacrifice
vnto
his
Maiestie
,
by
purifiing
the
same
by
faith
,
through
the
Ministerie
of
the
word
.
And
seeing
the
heart
is
the
fountaine
,
and
originall
of
all
our
actions
,
therefore
the
fountaine
being
purged
,
the
streames
must
needes
be
pure
,
and
though
happily
(
through
imperfection
)
they
may
in
part
be
polluted
,
yet
seeing
the
fountaine
is
purged
,
therefore
certenly
shall
the
streames
one
day
bee
clensed
also
,
and
in

the
meane
time
wee
shall
bee
accepted
,
not
according
to
the
streame
of
our
outward
actions
,
but
answerable
to
the
fountaine
,
euen
the
purpose
of
our
hearts
.
And
surely
seeing
we
haue
heerein
onely
boldnesse
before
GOD
,
ene●y
the
testimonie
of
our
conscience
,
that
it
doeth
not
condemne
vs
:
and
this
,
not
so
much
in
regard
of
the
present
puritie
thereof
(
which
is
imperfect
)
as
in
that
by
faith
wee
still
lay
hold
vpon
Iesus
Christ
,
in
whome
onely
we
haue
boldnesse
to
approach
the
throne
of
grace
,
and
by
whome
we
are
assured
of
full
perfection
.
And
seeing
,
wee
can
haue
no
comfort
in
what
wee
doe
,
nor
incouragement
to
goe
forward
,
vnlesse
wee
haue
the
approbation
of
our
conscience
for
the
same
,
if
now
our
righteousnesse
should
is
as
a
menstrous
cloath
.
What
comfort
could
wee
haue
in
our
outward
well
doing
,
seeing
,
our
vines
bring
forth
so
small
grapes
?
Besides
this
,
howe
should
I
cleare
my self
from
the
note
of
hypocrisie
,
if
I
had
not
an
euidence
established
against
such
slanders
and
reproches
,
as
are
fastned
vpon
me
?
how
possibly
shall
I
not
sinke
vnder
the
burden
of
these
good
name
,
(
which
is
procured
by
my
outward
actions
,
)
and
not
by
the
sincerity
of
my
heart
in
the
sight
of
God
?
Oh
this
is
it
that
makes
the
children
of
God
not
to
esteeme
to
bee
iudged
of
men
,
because
their
hearts
are
cleare
,
they
know
nothing
by
themselues
:
this
makes
them
to
disclame
deceiuers
in
the
opinion
of
men
,
yet
they
are
true
in
the
sight
of
God
,
their
conscience
bearing
them
witnesse
of
the
sinceritie
of
their
outward
action
,
though
it
bee
mingled
with
much
corruption
,
and
performed
with
much
weakenesse
.
So
the
sinceritie
of
their
heart
,
doeth
not
onely
approue
them
,
in
the
sight
of
God
,
but
doeth
also
imbolden
them
,
euen
against
the
forces
of
men
,
that
so
they
may
not
be
discouraged
in
their
greatest
weakenesse
,
but
the
power
of
their
sound
conscience
approuing
what
is
done
,
doeth
thereby
prouoke
them
to
further
measure
of
well
doing
,
that
so
hauing
finished
their
course
with
ioy
,
they
may
in
the
end
attaine
that
crowne
of
glory
which
is
laid
vp
for
them
,
which
Iesus
Christ
the
iust
shall
giue
them
at
that
day
.
Behold
here
the
euidence
of
this
truth
,
concerning
the
triall
of
our
righteousnesse
,
namely
,
the
foundnesse
and
sinceritie
of
our
hearts
.
If
now
hauing
proued
a
sound
heart
,
to
be
the
touchstone
of
true
righteousnesse
,
a
further
triall
shall
bee
required
the
heart
of
man
is
deceitfull
aboue
al
things
,
who
can
know
it
,
and
the
searching
thereof
,
doeth
onely
belong
to
God
,
therefore
as
we
dare
not
vndertake
herein
any
certen
determination
concerning
the
hearts
of
others
,
yet
because
the
Lord
doth
vouchsafe
vs
the
assurance
of
our
saluation
in
this
life
,
the
test
mony
whereof
especially
proceedeth
from
the
spirit
of
God
,
witnessing
vnto
our
spirits
that
we
are
his
children
:
as
by
this
we
are
sure
of
the
soundnesse
of
our
Wouldst
thou
therfore
know
whether
thy
heart
be
sincere
or
no
?
Consider
first
the
meanes
whereby
it
is
purged
,
by
faith
,
applying
vnto
vs
the
blood
of
Christ
Iesus
,
and
●eeing
that
faith
comes
by
hearing
,
and
hearing
by
the
word
of
God
:
Therefore
if
thou
wouldst
haue
a
testimony
of
the
ground
worke
of
sincerity
in
thy
heart
,
thou
must
be
sure
to
fetch
it
from
the
power
of
the
word
.
Nowe
that
thou
maiest
haue
a
testimony
that
thy
heart
is
purged
by
this
meanes
,
obserue
herein
the
operation
of
the
sent
thee
out
of
thy selfe
,
causing
thee
to
hunger
after
Iesus
Christ
?
Behold
he
that
inuites
the
broken
heart
to
come
vnto
him
,
and
promiseth
our
release
of
that
heauy
burden
,
is
now
ready
to
entertaine
thee
,
and
will
reioyce
thy
heart
by
his
gratious
presence
:
Nowe
shalt
thou
bee
at
Christ
Iesus
rooted
,
&
grounded
in
him
now
shalt
thou
grow
vp
in
newnesse
of
life
,
If
thy
heart
beleeue
to
righteousnesse
,
thy
mouth
shall
also
confesse
to
saluation
,
and
thy
whole
life
shal
be
a
sacrifice
of
obedience
vnto
GOD
.
Thou
shalt
be
zealous
for
thy
GOD
,
without
guile
in
thy
calling
,
humble
in
thy
carriage
,
patient
in
thy
troubles
,
tender
hearted
vnto
thy
brethren
:
charitable
vnto
thine
enemies
:
Constant
shalt
thou
be
,
in
thy
profession
,
and
yet
fearefull
of
thy
standing
:
Thou
shalt
reioyce
in
the
Saints
,
and
be
grieued
at
the
wicked
:
obedient
shalt
thou
be
vnto
authority
,
&
yet
preferre
God
before
men
:
desirous
of
death
in
respect
of
thy
sin
,
and
yet
willing
to
liue
in
respect
of
others
,
not
standing
at
a
stay
in
these
things
,
but
still
growing
in
grace
,
not
wedded
to
the
world
,
but
stil
waining
thy selfe
from
it
,
that
so
in
the
end
thou
maiest
be
deliuered
out
of
the
same
.
Thus
shalt
thou
be
able
to
try
the
soundnesse
of
thy
heart
by
the
meanes
and
seuerall
fruits
thereof
,
and
thus
if
thy
heart
bee
right
,
shalt
thou
reioyce
in
Gods
mercies
as
being
very
gratious
recompences
of
thy
syncerity
in
this
life
,
and
very
vndoubted
pledges
vnto
thee
of
euerlasting
happines
,
in
the
life
to
come
.
Euen
so
Lord
,
may
all
that
are
true
in
heart
,
re●oyce
in
thy
mercies
,
which
thou
hast
shewen
vnto
vs
in
this
great
deliuerance
,
as
in
an
vndoubted
euidence
,
that
thou
art
