ANd
one
of
the
Wiues
of
the
sonnes
of
the
Prophets
cried
vnto
Elizha
,
saying
:
Thy
seruant
(
mine
Husband
)
is
dead
,
and
thou
knowest
,
that
thy
seruant
did
feare
the
Lord
:
and
the
Creditor
is
come
to
take
my
two
sonnes
to
be
his
Bond
men
.
2
Then
Elizha
said
vnto
her
,
What
shall
I
doe
for
thee
?
Tell
me
what
hast
thou
at
home
:
And
she
said
,
Thine
Handmaid
hath
nothing
at
home
,
saue
a
Pitcher
of
Oyle
.
3
And
he
said
,
Goe
and
borrow
thee
vessels
abroad
of
all
thy
neighbours
emptie
vessels
,
and
spare
not
.
4
And
when
thou
art
come
in
,
thou
shall
shut
the
doore
vpon
thee
,
and
thy
sonnes
,
and
power
out
into
all
those
Vessels
,
and
set
aside
those
that
are
full
.
5
So
she
departed
from
him
,
and
shut
the
doore
vpon
her
,
and
vpon
her
sons
,
and
they
brought
to
her
,
and
she
powred
out
.
6
And
when
the
Vessels
were
full
,
she
said
vnto
her
sonne
,
bring
me
yet
a
Vessel
;
And
he
said
vnto
her
,
there
is
no
more
Vessels
:
and
the
Oyle
ceased
.
7
Then
she
came
and
told
the
man
of
God
,
and
hee
said
,
Goe
and
sell
the
Oyle
,
and
pay
them
that
thou
art
indebted
vnto
;
Liue
thou
and
thy
children
with
the
rest
.
THE
Argument
of
this
History
is
this
,
Debts
must
be
paid
.
The
circumstances
are
thele
:
First
,
The
Persons
:
Secondly
,
The
meanes
whereby
the
Debt
is
to
be
paid
:
Thirdly
,
The
issue
of
the
meanes
.
The
persons
are
the
Widdow
,
her
two
sonnes
,
the
Prophet
,
and
the
Creditour
:
The
meanes
,
by
the
miraculous
worke
of
God
in
the
ministery
of
Elizha
,
out
of
the
vessell
of
Oyle
:
The
issue
of
the
meanes
,
two-fold
:
First
,
the
Oyle
is
increased
.
Secondly
,
the
Debt
is
paide
.
The
manner
of
handling
this
is
by
Bill
and
Answer
,
the
complaint
of
the
Widdow
,
and
the
answer
of
the
Prophet
.
In
the
circumstances
,
the
first
concerning
the
widdow
,
are
to
be
examined
as
they
are
laid
downe
in
the
first
Verse
,
and
they
are
motiues
of
compassion
,
whereby
she
drawes
the
Prophet
to
tender
her
indebted
estate
:
These
motiues
arise
,
first
,
from
her selfe
,
and
her
two
sonnes
:
secondly
,
from
the
condition
and
credit
of
her
husband
:
thirdly
,
from
the
Creditour
,
in
demanding
of
his
debt
by
the
extremity
of
Law
then
to
be
executed
vpon
those
who
were
no
way
able
to
pay
,
that
is
,
in
requiring
her
two
sonnes
to
be
his
Bond-men
.
The
first
motiue
in
these
words
,
And
one
of
the
wiues
of
the
sonnes
of
the
Prophets
,
wherein
she
layes
downe
her selfe
to
be
a
sole-woman
or
widdow
;
a
good
motiue
of
compassion
,
as
in
the
Law
of
Moses
and
throughout
the
whole
Booke
of
God
is
to
be
seene
.
Ye
shall
not
trouble
any
Widdow
,
nor
fatherlesse
Childe
:
If
thou
vexe
and
trouble
such
,
and
so
hee
shall
call
and
cry
vnto
me
,
I
will
surely
heare
his
cry
,
then
shall
my
wrath
be
kindled
,
and
I
will
kill
you
with
the
sword
,
and
your
Wiues
shall
be
Widdowes
,
and
your
Children
fatherlesse
.
The
other
part
of
this
motiue
concerning
her
two
sonnes
,
in
these
words
:
And
the
Creditour
is
come
to
take
my
two
Sonnes
to
be
his
Bond-men
:
A
wonderfull
motiue
to
enforce
,
from
the
naturalnesse
of
a
mother
;
wherein
she
first
complaines
that
shee
was
to
be
depriued
of
her
speciall
ioyes
and
comforts
in
her
widdowhood
,
viz.
of
her
two
sonnes
,
who
were
to
her
as
the
Images
of
her
Husband
,
by
whom
also
she
found
perhaps
some
meanes
of
helpe
for
their
mutuall
reliefe
,
as
small
helpes
from
children
to
the
fathers
and
mothers
seeme
great
:
Besides
she
complains
that
she
should
not
onely
be
depriued
of
them
,
but
they
should
also
be
taken
as
Bond-slaues
,
their
bones
and
tender
bodies
day
and
night
to
be
worne
and
tyred
out
with
most
hard
and
grieuous
labors
.
A
very
strong
argument
to
breake
a
stony
heart
that
otherwise
would
not
be
mooued
.
Another
motiue
from
the
condition
and
credit
of
her
Husband
;
first
,
a
Prophets
sonne
.
Prophets
seldome
haue
meanes
to
leaue
their
wiues
and
children
rich
:
Secondly
,
a
man
also
that
feared
God
,
(
and
therefore
seldome
without
the
crosse
,
)
whereby
she
bindes
the
Prophet
the
more
strongly
to
her
suite
.
Good
is
to
bee
done
indeede
to
all
,
but
specially
(
saith
the
Apostle
Paul
)
to
the
houshold
of
faith
.
Another
motiue
from
the
person
of
the
Creditour
,
who
came
to
take
her
two
sonnes
to
be
his
bond-men
,
whose
seueritie
(
or
extremitie
rather
,
because
either
so
hee
must
doe
or
loose
all
)
is
not
so
much
to
be
censured
,
as
shee
was
to
be
pittied
who
was
no
otherwise
able
to
discharge
the
debt
but
by
the
losse
of
these
her
two
sonnes
.
Now
that
I
may
lay
downe
some
Lessons
as
they
arise
out
of
the
Text
:
The
first
generall
Lesson
from
the
Widdow
to
all
sorts
of
people
oppressed
is
this
,
That
in
any
wise
they
faile
not
in
their
miseries
and
comfortlesse
estates
to
vse
all
good
helpes
and
meanes
,
both
for
their
comfort
,
and
the
curing
of
their
decaies
.
In
this
the
manifold
examples
in
the
Scripture
are
Presidents
for
our
instruction
,
according
to
proportion
in
the
like
,
euen
from
the
greatest
persons
to
the
least
,
and
so
relatiuely
of
all
to
all
,
I
beseech
thee
,
saith
he
,
pray
vnto
the
Lord
thy
God
,
and
make
intercession
for
me
,
that
mine
hand
may
be
restored
vnto
me
.
Likewise
in
the
New
Testament
,
But
some
perhaps
may
thinke
this
lesson
needlesse
,
because
euery
one
is
forward
enough
to
promote
his
owne
cause
,
and
to
seeke
helpe
for
himselfe
.
Whereunto
I
answer
negatiuely
,
because
what
in
the
pride
we
haue
of
our selues
,
as
thinking
that
God
doth
ouermuch
wrong
vs
,
when
he
doth
any
way
take
vs
downe
short
,
or
on
the
other
side
,
by
an
ouerweening
of
our
too
great
abasement
,
vnder
our
afflictions
through
the
corruption
of
our
distrustfull
hearts
,
wee
,
in
the
dayes
of
our
peace
,
wealth
,
and
welfare
,
not
hauing
once
sought
for
any
meanes
to
succour
vs
in
our
aduersities
,
as
if
it
should
alwaies
goe
well
with
vs
,
doe
many
times
both
shrinke
&
sinke
in
the
necessary
suits
for
our
reliefe
,
especially
in
the
changes
of
our
estates
from
riches
to
pouerty
.
To
omit
them
who
in
the
matters
of
fleshly
&
inordinate
loue
,
because
they
cannot
attaine
to
their
burning
and
lustfull
desires
,
neuer
vsing
any
good
,
lawfull
,
holy
,
and
commaunded
meanes
,
doe
most
Heathen-like
,
as
people
without
God
,
as
by
faithlesse
despaire
,
desperately
vntwist
their
threede
of
this
life
:
To
omit
all
them
,
who
,
because
they
cannot
bee
liked
,
fauoured
,
and
counsels
,
are
ready
with
Achitophel
to
cut
themselues
off
from
the
world
,
as
we
reade
of
him
,
&c.
Now
when
Achitophel
saw
that
his
counsell
was
not
followed
,
he
sadled
his
Asse
,
and
arose
and
went
home
vnto
his
City
,
and
put
his
houshold
in
order
,
and
hanged
himselfe
,
and
dyed
.
Such
are
the
dangers
that
will
fearefully
befall
them
,
who
in
not
acquainting
themselues
with
God
in
his
holy
Word
,
doe
faile
in
depending
vpon
him
,
according
to
the
ordinary
meanes
prescribed
by
himselfe
,
and
to
be
vsed
by
all
his
people
,
in
and
vnder
the
burthen
of
their
griefes
and
calamities
:
The
not
vsing
whereof
,
causes
one
misery
to
follow
another
,
to
the
increase
not
onely
of
miseries
here
,
but
to
the
procuring
most
commonly
of
endlesse
miseries
of
soule
and
body
after
this
life
for
euer
.
Indeede
many
are
the
discouragements
that
step
in
betwixt
vs
and
our
afflictions
,
as
first
the
base
conceit
that
we
are
brought
into
of
our selues
,
as
if
wee
were
the
lesse
in
Gods
fauour
,
because
of
our
present
punishments
,
which
(
we
being
of
Gods
chosen
in
Christ
)
is
but
a
conceit
of
ours
,
arising
from
the
frailty
of
our
faith
,
without
any
iust
ground
of
the
word
of
truth
.
Secondly
,
the
slacknesse
,
(
nay
,
the
feare
of
the
slacknesse
)
and
delay
of
iustice
by
our
superiours
;
for
we
complaine
many
times
without
a
cause
.
Thirdly
,
the
vnmercifulnesse
of
the
time
.
Fourthly
,
the
disdaine
of
our
neighbours
,
brethren
,
and
friends
.
Fiftly
,
the
readinesse
of
the
wicked
cormorants
,
that
still
seeke
to
prey
vpon
our
miseries
,
(
they
be
of
many
sorts
)
iudge
who
they
be
,
who
neuer
giue
ouer
so
long
as
there
be
any
thing
for
them
to
prey
vpon
.
Sixtly
,
the
hard
account
that
the
World
maketh
of
vs
in
their
sinisterly
iudging
vs
to
be
so
much
the
more
wicked
,
by
how
much
the
more
the
Lord
doth
humble
vs
:
All
these
to
vndergoe
,
being
sore
&
grieuous
temptations
,
is
not
in
our
owne
power
,
without
the
lawfull
and
timely
vse
of
the
Ministers
of
God
,
or
of
the
Magistrates
,
or
of
both
,
whom
respectiuely
vsed
,
and
in
their
due
seasons
,
God
hath
sanctified
for
the
comforts
of
our
soules
,
as
also
of
our
bodies
during
this
life
.
Another
danger
may
befall
vs
,
a
fore-runner
of
these
extreames
before
mentioned
,
which
is
a
contempt
of
Gods
holy
Commandement
,
the
very
path
way
to
Anabaptisme
,
an
heresie
wherein
the
most
necessary
vse
of
the
Christian
Magistrate
is
denied
,
whose
vse
and
end
God
,
by
Moses
,
sets
downe
to
his
people
,
in
all
manner
of
trespasse
,
(
whither
it
be
for
Oxen
,
for
Asse
,
for
Sheepe
,
for
rayment
,
or
for
any
manner
of
lost
thing
which
another
challengeth
to
be
his
,
the
cause
of
both
parties
shall
come
before
the
Iudges
,
and
whom
the
Iudges
condemne
,
(
for
euery
one
may
not
be
his
owne
Iudge
)
hee
shall
pay
the
double
vnto
his
Neighbour
.
For
this
cause
ye
also
pay
tribute
,
for
they
are
Gods
Ministers
,
applying
themselues
for
the
same
thing
;
that
is
,
as
in
the
fourth
verse
he
saith
,
He
is
the
Minister
of
God
for
thy
wealth
.
To
conclude
this
point
,
doubtlesse
as
we
cannot
continue
long
in
our
bodies
in
this
life
without
foode
,
or
such
like
;
no
more
can
we
(
considering
the
disordered
course
of
our
wrangling
and
contentious
dispositions
be
,
or
hold
out
long
without
the
Magistrate
,
or
the
Minister
.
The
vse
then
that
we
must
make
of
this
doctrine
,
If
thou
be
faint
in
the
day
of
aduersity
,
thy
strength
is
small
:
or
whether
wee
euer
found
comfort
in
the
Crosse
,
and
thereafter
to
proceede
with
our selues
by
humble
and
hearty
prayer
vnto
God
to
arme
vs
with
patience
,
and
to
teach
vs
the
best
wayes
vnder
our
troubles
,
and
to
leade
vs
on
chearefully
to
vse
them
,
whereby
we
may
not
onely
be
comforted
,
but
also
(
if
God
see
it
good
for
vs
)
be
restored
.
Herein
also
wee
must
proceede
with
continuance
,
waiting
the
happy
issue
of
them
,
(
yea
,
and
that
vntill
the
Lord
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
)
whereunto
let
the
widdow
that
importuned
the
vniust
Iudge
,
and
yet
(
though
long
first
)
in
the
end
preuailed
;
stirre
vs
vp
to
steady
proceeding
on
in
our
suites
,
which
Iudge
though
hee
neither
feared
God
,
nor
reuerenced
man
,
yet
because
this
widdow
saith
he
,
troubleth
me
,
I
will
doe
her
right
,
lest
at
the
last
shee
come
and
make
me
weary
:
And
so
much
the
more
to
hearten
vs
on
,
let
vs
not
forget
in
our
prayers
our
Magistrates
,
then
especially
when
any
of
our
iust
causes
are
vpon
trialls
to
the
which
purpose
the
Psalmist
directeth
vs
in
these
words
;
Giue
thy
iudgements
to
the
King
,
O
God
,
and
thy
righteousnesse
to
the
Kings
Sonne
:
Then
shall
hee
iudge
the
people
in
righteousnesse
,
and
the
poore
with
equitie
.
This
is
the
way
to
keepe
our
faith
vpright
in
God
,
still
to
relie
vpon
him
in
the
blessing
of
the
meanes
to
vs
.
Last
of
all
,
let
vs
looke
backe
to
Gods
former
care
ouer
vs
,
and
from
an
experimentall
feeling
of
that
his
goodnesse
,
let
vs
quicken
vp
our
dull
and
heauy
soules
,
●aying
confidently
,
as
from
the
assurance
of
faith
,
Dauid
;
Though
my
Father
and
Mother
forsake
me
,
yet
the
Lord
will
gather
me
vp
.
And
with
the
Apostle
Paul
,
to
testifie
of
God
in
this
sort
:
Who
hath
deliuered
vs
from
so
great
a
death
,
doth
deliuer
vs
,
and
in
whom
we
trust
that
he
will
deliuer
vs
.
God
is
faithfull
,
which
will
not
suffer
you
to
be
tempted
aboue
that
you
be
able
,
but
will
euen
giue
the
issue
with
the
tentation
,
that
you
may
be
able
to
beare
it
.
Now
let
vs
proceede
to
some
particular
obseruations
further
,
to
be
drawne
out
of
the
words
of
her
Petition
:
Thy
seruant
mine
Husband
is
dead
,
and
thou
knowest
thy
seruant
did
feare
the
Lord
,
and
the
Creditor
is
come
,
&c.
It
is
as
cleare
as
the
Sunne
that
her
Husband
left
her
indebted
,
and
not
that
shee
fell
into
debt
after
,
because
the
words
are
inseparably
conioyned
,
as
also
from
the
custome
of
creditors
,
who
immediately
vpon
the
death
of
their
debtors
doe
seeke
into
their
estates
,
and
with
all
expedition
call
home
their
owne
.
But
the
thing
to
be
obserued
vpon
this
place
,
in
the
mention
making
of
her
Husband
to
feare
God
,
and
therein
appealing
to
the
testimony
of
the
Prophet
himselfe
,
is
this
,
that
against
the
practise
of
most
women
shee
forgets
her
pouerty
,
preuailing
mightily
against
the
male-contentednesse
of
her
estate
,
or
rather
the
hard
estate
her
Husband
left
her
in
,
and
with
the
comfortable
remembrance
of
her
Husbands
piety
,
and
feare
of
God
,
shee
doth
as
it
were
feede
and
satisfie
her selfe
.
The
lesson
that
is
taught
women
aboue
others
in
this
place
,
is
,
that
in
their
chaste
and
sincere
loue
they
ought
(
inasmuch
as
in
them
lieth
)
to
couer
the
trespasses
of
their
Husbands
,
especially
they
failing
but
in
matters
of
worldly
wants
,
or
in
such
like
,
whereof
God
depriues
them
for
some
thing
best
knowne
to
himselfe
.
Doubtlesse
,
worldly
encombrances
doe
breede
much
discontentednesse
betweene
Husband
and
Wife
,
where
Gods
feare
ouer-rules
not
in
each
;
to
which
purpose
,
the
Apostle
Paul
speaketh
as
by
way
of
comparison
betweene
the
marryed
estate
and
single
life
;
The
marryed
man
(
saith
he
)
careth
for
the
things
of
the
World
,
and
how
he
may
please
his
wife
;
which
in
the
things
more
indifferent
of
this
life
to
doe
,
is
no
disparagement
to
the
Husband
at
all
,
being
done
in
knowledge
:
according
also
to
which
the
Wife
is
to
walke
,
yea
,
so
farre
as
behoueth
her
place
,
and
that
for
the
nourishing
of
houshold
peace
,
yea
,
as
a
teacher
of
honest
things
;
which
lesson
howsoeuer
it
concerne
;
specially
the
elder
women
,
yet
all
women
are
(
being
come
to
that
holy
degree
of
the
married
estate
)
not
onely
to
know
for
themselues
,
but
for
their
Husbands
,
Children
,
Seruants
,
and
Neighbours
:
and
herein
the
Apostle
Peter
doth
affirme
,
Likewise
let
the
Wiues
be
subiect
to
their
Husbands
,
that
euen
they
which
obey
not
the
Word
,
may
without
the
Word
be
wonne
by
the
conuersation
of
the
Wiues
.
But
what
if
the
Wife
doe
in
some
good
measure
of
knowledge
goe
beyond
the
Husband
,
and
able
perhaps
to
direct
her
Husband
?
(
God
willing
it
should
be
so
vpon
some
occasions
)
not
ordinarily
:
the
Husband
is
the
Wiues
head
,
and
Husbands
should
dwell
with
their
Wiues
as
men
of
knowledge
.
Such
a
Wife
had
Manoach
the
Father
of
Sampson
,
A
wise
woman
buildeth
her
House
.
The
consideration
of
this
Doctrine
may
serue
all
good
and
Christian
Wiues
,
Thus
then
you
see
this
woman
,
vpon
the
loue
to
her
Husband
,
not
so
soone
forgotten
,
was
comforted
to
sollicite
Elizha
in
her
owne
behalfe
,
by
an
argument
drawne
from
the
feare
of
God
,
that
was
in
him
well
knowne
to
Elizha
himselfe
,
as
shee
saith
;
And
thou
knowest
that
thy
seruant
did
feare
the
Lord
:
whereby
also
the
Prophet
was
so
much
the
more
willing
to
listen
carefully
to
her
suite
.
Good
indeede
is
to
be
done
for
all
,
but
especially
to
them
who
are
of
the
Houshold
of
Faith
.
Another
doctrine
also
out
of
the
words
of
the
woman
doe
issue
,
Be
not
called
Rabbi
;
Call
no
man
Father
vpon
earth
;
Be
not
called
Doctors
,
any
way
of
force
to
abridge
the
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
of
their
due
honour
:
It
serued
indeed
to
restraine
the
ambitious
Pharisees
'
who
hunting
after
vaine
titles
,
desired
so
to
be
called
;
and
would
also
that
the
people
should
wholly
rest
themselues
vpon
whatsoeuer
was
propounded
vnder
their
names
,
as
meerely
authenticall
,
and
no
way
to
be
gain-said
:
Elihu
;
For
I
may
not
giue
titles
,
left
my
Maker
should
take
mee
away
suddenly
.
Iames
;
Be
not
many
Masters
so
to
be
taken
?
as
if
all
title
of
honour
,
or
reuerend
estimation
,
were
taken
away
,
or
forbidden
to
be
giuen
to
the
Ministers
of
the
Church
:
This
is
onely
forbidden
them
and
thee
;
Them
,
that
they
doe
not
ambitiously
seeke
and
hunt
after
the
titles
of
those
places
and
callings
,
for
the
honour
and
titles
sake
,
without
purpose
to
doe
the
duties
beseeming
those
places
and
callings
;
or
,
as
if
vnder
that
name
or
title
of
honour
,
whatsoeuer
seemed
good
in
their
eies
,
they
might
propound
,
and
it
not
to
be
refused
;
which
to
doe
were
meere
Papal
and
antichristian
:
Thee
,
that
thou
also
doe
not
tie
thy
iudgement
,
or
faith
,
(
concerning
God
and
holy
things
)
to
men
;
for
their
outward
respects
sake
:
But
let
them
be
called
Fathers
of
the
Church
,
and
so
call
thou
them
,
for
in
Christ
Iesus
I
haue
begotten
you
,
through
the
Gospel
:
yea
,
hee
called
himselfe
the
Doctor
and
teacher
of
the
Gentiles
;
and
thus
they
are
,
and
may
be
called
,
so
as
they
doe
wholly
and
simply
submit
themselues
to
Christ
,
as
to
their
onely
Master
,
sent
of
God
;
and
seeke
also
to
subiect
and
bring
thee
and
thine
,
by
their
authoritie
,
vnder
the
obedience
,
soueraignty
,
and
dominion
of
Christ
himselfe
,
their
teacher
,
and
thy
teacher
;
their
Lord
and
thy
Lord
;
their
Master
,
and
thy
Master
.
And
thus
much
by
the
way
,
vpon
that
the
Widdow
called
her
Husband
,
Elisha
his
Seruant
,
and
herselfe
his
Hand-maide
.
There
is
further
vpon
this
poynt
,
that
hee
feared
God
,
notwithstanding
hee
died
in
debt
,
this
Doctrine
to
be
obserued
,
that
a
man
may
be
indebted
,
and
yet
be
free
from
the
common
fame
of
the
World
,
that
is
,
to
be
an
ill
Man
:
Which
is
no
more
true
,
then
on
the
other
side
to
say
such
and
such
are
wealthy
,
rich
,
and
of
good
credit
in
the
World
,
and
therefore
they
must
needes
be
good
,
honest
,
and
godly
men
,
when
as
yet
perhaps
they
neuer
knew
what
true
godlinesse
meant
.
But
how
can
this
agree
then
with
those
places
(
will
some
say
)
where
God
makes
a
large
promise
to
his
people
,
vpon
condition
that
they
hearken
to
the
voyce
of
their
God
,
to
obserue
and
doe
all
his
commaundements
,
as
by
Moses
is
written
:
Then
thou
shalt
lend
to
many
Nations
,
and
not
borrow
thy selfe
.
And
againe
the
Prophet
Dauid
saith
,
A
good
man
is
mercifull
,
and
lendeth
.
The
wicked
man
borroweth
,
payeth
not
againe
?
&c.
I
answer
.
Howsoeuer
the
promise
of
Gods
blessings
to
the
whole
body
of
the
people
of
Israel
,
is
no
longer
proper
to
them
,
then
they
shall
ioyntly
and
together
bind
themselues
sincerely
and
simply
to
keepe
,
and
in
so
being
bound
,
doe
indeede
keepe
Gods
Commaundements
;
yet
in
some
other
respect
God
both
may
,
and
at
his
pleasure
doth
oftentimes
temporally
punish
the
godly
with
the
wicked
(
as
the
Apostle
Peter
layeth
it
downe
in
these
wordes
:
For
the
time
is
come
,
that
iudgement
must
beginne
at
the
house
of
God
:
Yea
,
and
amongst
other
punishments
,
with
this
as
one
,
God
punisheth
thee
,
it
being
incident
to
the
children
of
God
,
rather
to
want
then
to
abound
,
and
this
as
hee
doth
iustly
inflict
vpon
man
for
sinne
,
as
Ieremy
saith
;
Man
suffereth
for
sinne
:
Then
he
openeth
the
eyes
of
men
,
euen
by
their
corrections
,
which
he
had
sealed
.
Whereby
he
hauing
(
as
the
Prouerbe
is
)
strooke
the
nayle
to
the
head
,
the
heart
and
the
affections
once
renewed
and
changed
,
then
hee
brings
vnder
obedience
all
those
wandring
lusts
,
which
before-time
went
astray
from
Gods
holy
Commandements
:
to
the
which
purpose
the
Prophet
Dauid
confesseth
,
as
is
119.
Psalme
:
Before
I
was
afflicted
,
I
went
astray
:
as
for
that
of
the
good
man
,
to
be
mercifull
,
and
to
lend
,
it
rather
describeth
the
true
propertie
of
a
good
man
already
inriched
,
for
the
disposing
of
his
riches
to
the
good
of
others
,
then
otherwise
in
any
vngodly
care
to
get
or
increase
his
wealth
:
which
(
by
occasion
of
the
next
place
)
viz.
(
The
wicked
man
borroweth
,
and
payeth
not
againe
)
as
afore
is
more
fitly
met
withall
;
which
words
of
the
Prophet
doe
not
concere
those
who
ordinarily
being
poore
and
needy
,
are
inforced
to
borrow
directly
for
the
supply
of
their
present
wants
,
being
also
godlily
minded
,
vpon
good
fore-sight
,
and
hope
of
meanes
in
like
manner
to
make
restitution
by
:
But
it
concernes
all
sorts
and
degrees
both
of
rich
and
poore
,
who
any
way
vniustly
minded
,
doe
take
into
their
hands
the
goods
of
other
men
,
for
their
present
vse
,
without
any
purpose
of
restoring
;
of
whom
those
monsters
amongst
men
,
who
immediately
borrowing
without
need
,
vpon
purpose
to
breake
,
doe
(
by
the
spoyle
of
other
their
creditors
,
inforced
to
stand
at
their
courtesie
for
present
payment
,
)
hastily
become
rich
vpon
other
mens
goods
:
Some
other
there
are
,
who
vnder
the
name
of
a
more
strict
course
of
godlinesse
in
the
profession
of
the
Gospel
then
others
,
hauing
yet
a
mind
that
they
liue
,
but
are
dead
,
(
being
indeed
ashamed
to
acknowledge
their
mother
,
in
whose
wombe
they
had
their
first
conception
vnto
life
)
these
in
like
manner
(
omitting
their
honest
and
lawfull
callings
,
being
weary
of
well-doing
)
as
busie-bodies
,
whilest
they
will
become
planters
,
and
reformers
of
Churches
,
strayning
beyond
their
Last
,
till
all
cracke
againe
,
hauing
run
themselues
out
of
breath
,
are
brought
to
borrow
;
and
this
also
they
hold
they
may
doe
,
not
purposing
euer
to
make
restitution
,
accounting
in
their
Anabaptisticall
community
,
as
a
speciall
point
of
Diuinitie
with
them
,
the
goods
of
them
of
whom
they
make
thus
bold
with
,
euen
the
goods
of
the
Church
(
the
spoyle
of
Babel
,
as
they
tearme
it
)
as
if
they
had
by
some
Oracle
from
Heauen
,
with
the
Israelites
,
The
wicked
borroweth
,
and
payeth
not
againe
.
Out
of
this
which
hath
beene
spoken
,
euery
true
member
of
the
Church
is
to
learne
;
first
,
for
his
setled
course
of
conuersing
and
making
trafficke
with
men
;
in
singlenesse
of
heart
;
he
must
take
heede
(
as
the
Apostle
Paul
teacheth
)
that
he
oppresse
not
,
nor
defraude
his
brother
in
any
matter
.
And
then
,
that
he
trie
and
examine
himselfe
by
the
two
looking-glasses
of
the
Law
,
and
the
Gospel
,
the
two
parts
of
the
Word
of
God
,
wherein
hee
may
finde
out
whether
he
truly
feare
God
,
or
no
;
a
point
very
necessary
to
be
stood
vpon
.
Doubtlesse
in
the
one
and
first
,
which
is
the
Law
,
he
shall
find
out
in
himselfe
nothing
but
sin
and
iniquity
,
and
thereby
that
he
stands
in
the
seuerity
of
Gods
extreame
iustice
,
in
and
vnder
the
danger
of
eternall
death
and
condemnation
:
In
the
other
,
he
shall
find
that
God
according
to
his
owne
goodnesse
,
will
looke
vpon
him
with
an
amiable
and
chearefull
countenance
,
and
discouer
vnto
him
Iesus
Christ
his
Sonne
,
as
the
onely
washer
,
purger
,
and
cleanser
of
him
from
his
sinne
,
not
onely
by
forgiuenesse
,
but
also
by
his
sanctifying
Spirit
;
taking
away
the
power
of
sinne
,
that
it
shall
not
rule
or
raigne
any
longer
in
his
mortall
body
,
to
obey
it
in
the
lusts
thereof
:
And
because
there
is
iust
occasion
offered
to
speake
of
this
point
in
these
words
(
And
thou
knowest
thy
seruant
did
feare
God
)
it
is
not
from
the
purpose
,
that
I
set
downe
thus
much
more
vpon
it
,
before
euery
one
that
reades
it
;
(
viz.
)
that
according
as
God
did
worke
formerly
in
men
a
true
care
of
performance
of
the
duties
,
whatsoeuer
of
equity
,
honesty
,
or
charity
between
themselues
,
so
he
measured
his
owne
loue
to
them-ward
,
by
an
assurance
of
faith
vnto
eternall
life
accordingly
:
For
men
are
reputed
no
further
to
haue
profited
in
the
sound
knowledge
of
God
,
according
to
the
rules
of
the
first
Table
of
the
Law
,
then
they
are
ready
to
expresse
the
same
by
doing
the
duties
of
the
second
:
For
by
this
rule
did
both
the
holy
Prophets
and
Apostles
measure
out
the
assurance
of
the
loue
of
God
to
themselues
,
and
the
people
.
Micah
the
Prophet
expostulating
this
point
with
the
people
of
Israel
in
his
dayes
,
who
satisfied
themselues
,
as
they
doe
now
,
with
an
outward
shew
of
seruing
of
God
,
by
their
sacrifices
;
when
in
the
meane
time
they
were
full
of
cruelty
,
and
oppression
,
voide
of
all
mercy
to
their
Neighbours
.
Will
the
Lord
(
saith
he
)
be
pleased
with
thousands
of
Rammes
,
or
with
ten
thousand
Riuers
of
Oyle
?
shall
I
giue
my
first
borne
for
my
transgression
,
euen
the
fruite
of
my
body
for
the
sinne
of
my
soule
?
And
thereto
he
answereth
.
8.
He
hath
shewed
thee
O
man
what
is
good
,
and
what
the
Lord
requireth
of
thee
;
surely
to
doe
iustly
,
and
to
loue
mercy
,
and
to
humble
thy selfe
to
walke
with
thy
God
:
And
thus
must
euery
debtor
,
yea
,
and
creditor
also
,
trie
himselfe
whether
he
feare
God
,
or
no
;
euen
by
the
Offices
of
borrowing
and
lending
,
according
to
good
and
pure
loue
,
laide
downe
in
the
Word
.
For
saith
the
Apostle
Iohn
;
Whosoeuer
doth
not
righteousnesse
,
is
not
of
God
;
neither
he
that
loueth
not
his
brother
.
All
which
duties
of
the
Law
also
,
concerning
God
and
man
,
must
be
done
in
like
manner
wholly
,
and
that
from
a
sound
heart
:
And
therefore
if
thou
shalt
soothe
vp
thy selfe
in
some
duties
doing
,
and
shalt
in
the
meane
while
faile
in
other
;
know
this
from
the
Apostle
Iames
,
who
saith
:
For
whosoeuer
shall
keepe
the
whole
Law
,
and
yet
faileth
in
one
point
,
is
guilty
in
all
.
Where
then
the
true
feare
of
God
is
,
there
is
first
integrity
of
heart
,
and
then
whole
obedience
,
that
is
,
a
continuall
striuing
vnto
the
performance
of
all
and
euery
duty
,
with
care
of
doing
what
wee
doe
for
Gods
cause
,
or
because
of
the
loue
that
wee
doe
beare
to
God
constrayning
vs
thereunto
.
But
because
in
either
getting
,
or
keeping
a
good
report
,
whilest
men
dealet
together
in
matters
of
this
World
,
as
in
borrowing
and
lending
,
there
be
many
windings
and
turnings
,
so
that
it
is
hard
for
a
man
to
passe
away
without
some
staine
of
his
credit
(
especially
if
hee
bee
one
that
striueth
vnto
godlinesse
,
whom
all
the
World
seeketh
to
speake
ill
of
,
)
it
stands
euery
man
in
hand
therefore
,
so
much
the
more
truly
to
●ift
himselfe
,
especially
when
Gods
hand
is
vpon
him
in
this
affliction
of
being
in
debt
.
He
therefore
that
will
not
be
deceiued
in
himselfe
,
in
looking
vpon
the
Law
of
the
ten
Commandements
,
as
vpon
a
looking-glasse
,
wherein
he
desires
to
behold
the
errors
of
his
life
;
let
him
cast
his
eye
aside
,
and
with
good
care
looke
into
the
extreame
part
of
that
Glasse
,
euen
the
tenth
Commandement
:
Thou
shalt
not
couet
,
&c.
Or
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
Thou
shalt
not
lust
;
and
there
shall
hee
learne
this
lesson
,
that
if
hee
haue
giuen
but
way
to
any
sinne
to
make
proffer
to
him
,
and
so
suffer
it
to
rest
,
and
Sathan
the
first
mouer
or
suggester
to
sinne
,
with
any
,
though
neuer
so
small
an
entertainment
of
him
;
yea
,
if
he
haue
but
granted
time
,
(
vpon
the
motion
and
first
suggestion
thereunto
)
to
demurre
,
and
as
it
were
to
aduise
whether
it
be
best
to
thinke
,
or
not
to
thinke
,
to
doe
,
or
not
to
doe
,
thereby
calling
the
Law
of
God
into
question
or
doubt
,
put
the
case
it
be
vpon
this
point
of
borrowing
,
vpon
a
deceiueable
purpose
to
serue
thy
present
neede
;
if
that
party
whosoeuer
hath
not
giuen
either
in
the
point
in
hand
,
as
borrowing
vpon
deceiueable
purposes
,
or
any
the
like
motion
or
prompting
vnto
sinne
,
(
as
our
Sauiour
Christ
)
did
vnto
Sathan
,
the
present
auant
or
auoid
Sathan
,
Dauid
,
Away
from
me
all
yee
workers
of
iniquitie
;
Away
from
me
yee
wicked
,
I
will
keepe
the
Commaundements
of
my
God
;
let
him
know
that
hee
hath
sinned
already
against
his
owne
soule
,
euen
in
this
,
that
by
demurring
with
Sathan
,
as
by
way
of
counsaile-taking
,
he
hath
giuen
him
some
hope
to
preuaile
at
the
last
;
which
to
doe
is
sinne
with
God
:
and
therefore
to
this
purpose
speaketh
the
holy
Apostle
Paul
:
Let
not
the
Sunne
goe
downe
vpon
your
wrath
,
neither
giue
place
to
the
Deuill
.
For
how
small
soeuer
a
sinne
(
not
to
resist
sinne
vpon
the
first
sight
,
)
in
outward
seeming
appeares
to
be
,
because
the
beginnings
of
sinne
are
very
deceitful
,
it
being
a
common
saying
,
A
little
is
not
so
much
:
Yet
so
great
it
is
doubtlesse
,
as
once
being
entred
vpon
thee
,
hardly
after
,
if
euer
,
vntill
thy
dying
day
,
will
it
be
got
out
:
for
the
very
regenerate
haue
their
sinnes
,
vnder
the
which
they
doe
continually
labour
,
which
maketh
them
goe
heauily
mourning
all
the
day
long
,
and
oftentimes
to
water
their
couch
with
their
teares
,
as
Dauid
did
,
who
complained
saying
;
I
fainted
in
my
mourning
,
I
cause
my
bedde
euery
night
to
swimme
,
and
water
my
couch
with
my
teares
:
and
this
doth
the
looking
into
this
first
glasse
of
the
Law
cause
,
yea
,
in
them
who
truely
feare
God
.
But
here
they
must
not
stand
:
There
is
another
more
cleare
cristalline
and
comfortable
glasse
of
the
Gospel
,
which
also
they
must
with
all
good
speed
looke
into
,
where
they
shall
euen
vpon
the
very
first
view
,
so
sodainly
behold
Christ
Iesus
,
that
onely
comforter
of
them
that
mourne
in
Sion
,
and
the
refresher
of
those
that
goe
heauily
laden
vnder
the
burthen
of
their
sinne
,
and
seeke
their
refreshing
where
it
is
to
be
had
:
for
faith
in
Christ
Iesus
,
is
the
onely
marke
of
that
filial
,
son-like
,
and
true
feare
of
God
,
without
the
which
faith
,
there
is
no
true
feare
of
God
at
all
;
and
when
thou
seest
him
,
goe
to
him
,
lay
hold
on
him
,
make
thy
moane
to
him
,
shew
him
thy
soares
,
thy
wounds
,
certifie
him
of
the
foyles
thou
hast
had
since
thou
entredst
thy selfe
a
Souldier
vnder
his
Banner
,
challenge
him
for
thy
Captaine
,
acknowledge
thy
strayings
and
wandring
out
of
his
Campe
;
let
him
know
thy
seuerall
and
particular
sinnes
,
hide
nothing
from
him
,
(
though
he
know
all
before
)
it
shall
be
his
greater
glory
,
and
in
the
end
thy
greater
comfort
:
bewaile
his
so
long
absence
from
thee
,
with
the
great
dangers
thou
wast
in
whilest
thou
wast
left
to
thy selfe
:
Say
with
the
Church
in
Salomons
Song
.
I
sought
him
,
but
I
found
him
not
;
I
called
vpon
him
,
and
he
answered
me
not
.
Giue
me
leaue
a
little
longer
,
because
this
feare
of
God
,
Hoc
est
totum
hominis
:
it
is
all
that
God
requires
of
man
,
and
it
is
that
thou
must
haue
,
and
it
is
a
point
whereupon
thou
must
trie
,
and
often
examine
thy selfe
;
euen
King
,
Queene
,
Prince
,
Nobles
,
Gouernours
,
Ministers
,
Husband
,
Wife
,
Father
,
Children
,
Masters
,
Seruants
.
I
cannot
therefore
end
,
I
am
as
in
a
maze
;
giue
me
leaue
yet
in
a
word
,
who
is
it
that
as
the
Church
before
saith
,
hath
not
called
vpon
God
often
,
and
yet
hath
not
preuailed
;
and
what
then
,
shall
he
therefore
giue
ouer
?
No
,
shall
he
not
still
pray
?
Yes
.
Wilt
thou
aske
how
long
,
leaue
him
not
vntill
he
haue
mercy
vpon
thee
;
let
not
the
terriblenesse
of
thine
enemy
(
although
he
be
as
a
roaring
and
deuouring
Lyon
,
Watch
ye
,
stand
fast
in
the
Faith
;
quit
you
like
men
,
and
be
strong
.
And
as
in
the
Ephesians
:
Hauing
finished
all
things
,
stand
,
and
to
thy
greater
hope
of
preuailing
,
adde
(
as
the
Apostle
Paul
in
that
very
place
immediatly
after
saith
,
And
pray
alwayes
(
saith
he
)
with
all
manner
prayer
and
supplication
in
the
spirit
,
and
faint
not
.
And
howsoeuer
euery
sinne
,
whereof
Sathan
will
(
hauing
beene
the
first
mouer
of
thee
thereunto
)
be
thy
accuser
,
shall
appeare
to
thy
wounded
conscience
as
a
most
fearefull
and
terrible
monster
,
greedily
,
and
with
open
mouth
gaping
wide
,
doe
seeke
to
swallow
and
deuoure
thee
vp
euen
aliue
;
yet
as
thou
fearest
God
,
and
desirest
the
report
thereof
in
the
World
,
in
life
,
in
death
,
and
after
death
,
as
this
poore
Widdowes
Husband
,
haue
faith
in
God
,
and
shrinke
not
;
behold
his
loue
to
thee
in
Christ
,
and
be
of
good
cheare
:
although
thou
hast
liued
in
the
wayes
of
the
World
,
without
regard
of
God
and
his
Law
heretofore
,
yet
vpon
this
thy
faith
,
fruitfull
in
repentance
,
be
comforted
with
Paul
;
It
is
not
thou
,
but
sinne
in
thee
,
It
is
no
more
I
,
(
for
now
thou
beleeuest
,
thou
art
another
person
in
Christ
Iesus
before
God
,
thy
sinne
is
not
looked
vpon
)
but
saith
he
,
It
is
sinne
that
dwelleth
in
me
:
For
I
allow
not
(
saith
he
)
that
which
I
doe
,
for
what
I
would
,
that
doe
I
not
;
but
what
I
hate
,
that
doe
I.
It
is
that
naturall
corruption
,
which
doubtlesse
cleaueth
to
them
who
are
regenerate
,
and
although
daily
in
conquering
,
yet
not
cleane
conquered
.
But
in
this
triall
of
thy selfe
,
as
concerning
the
true
feare
of
God
to
be
in
thee
;
if
thou
feelest
that
thou
hast
thus
farre
profited
,
goe
on
still
with
the
blessed
Apostle
,
as
one
wearied
with
these
miserable
conflicts
of
Sathan
,
and
shew
thy
faith
more
and
more
,
by
still
going
to
God
,
as
thy
onely
helper
,
and
crie
aloud
with
groanes
and
sighes
;
Oh
wretched
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliuer
me
from
this
body
of
death
?
And
againe
,
to
despite
Sathan
to
his
teeth
,
as
if
thou
hadst
already
gotten
the
victory
,
(
for
Faith
,
whose
obiect
is
Christ
,
with
all
the
graces
of
his
Spirit
,
giueth
to
each
beleeuer
things
absent
,
as
already
present
)
be
bold
to
out-face
him
,
Dauid
to
Saul
;
Thou
hast
thrust
sore
at
me
,
that
I
might
fall
;
but
the
Lord
he
hath
holpen
me
.
To
the
end
then
that
all
iust
suspitions
of
deceitfull
shifts
in
borrowing
may
be
taken
from
thee
,
and
that
thy
name
may
be
free
from
all
iust
slander
,
Remoue
from
me
shame
and
contempt
:
and
againe
in
the
39.
Take
away
my
rebuke
that
I
feare
,
&c.
And
in
thus
doing
,
and
preuailing
,
thou
shalt
reape
vnto
thee
,
for
thy
comfort
,
both
liuing
and
dead
,
this
report
;
that
thou
haft
feared
God
.
Now
to
proceede
to
that
which
followeth
,
concerning
the
Creditor
,
in
these
words
of
her
complaint
:
And
the
Creditor
is
come
to
take
my
two
Sonnes
to
be
his
bond-men
.
The
Law
of
bondage
,
as
appeareth
both
by
the
Scriptures
,
as
also
by
the
Law
of
Nations
hath
been
ancient
;
which
also
may
be
found
to
haue
beene
amongst
vs
,
as
by
certaine
Instruments
of
Manumission
for
the
release
of
bond-men
or
villaines
;
and
this
before
the
time
of
the
Gospell
may
euidently
appeare
.
By
the
Law
of
Nations
it
appeares
so
to
haue
beene
.
Aulus
Gellius
)
by
the
Iudge
,
that
after
the
Debtor
was
demaunded
by
the
Creditor
his
debt
,
hee
not
hauing
to
pay
at
the
instant
,
that
then
hee
should
haue
thirtie
dayes
more
giuen
him
,
and
if
within
that
time
he
could
not
make
satisfaction
,
then
the
poore
man
was
fettered
by
the
feete
;
and
further
,
being
fast
bound
with
a
cord
or
long
line
,
was
so
deliuered
ouer
to
the
Creditor
;
who
leading
him
home
as
an
Oxe
or
an
Asse
,
hee
put
him
to
what
seruile
worke
soeuer
,
vntill
that
by
his
most
slauish
and
more
perhaps
then
Egyptian-like
bondage
,
he
had
by
all
toylesome
labour
wrought
out
vnto
his
Master
ful
satisfaction
of
his
debt
;
and
thus
for
the
time
of
their
bondage
were
they
bought
and
sold
from
one
to
another
,
as
beasts
are
sold
in
a
market
:
For
proofe
wherof
,
vnder
the
law
of
Moses
,
we
read
,
If
thou
buy
an
Hebrew
seruant
,
hee
shall
serue
sixe
yeares
,
and
in
the
seauenth
he
shall
goe
out
free
for
nothing
:
Thou
sellest
thy
people
for
nought
.
(
saith
hee
)
and
thou
doest
not
increase
their
price
:
And
in
the
Prophesie
of
Esay
,
saith
the
Prophet
,
as
in
the
person
of
God
;
who
is
the
creditor
to
whom
I
sold
you
?
Behold
,
for
your
iniquities
are
yee
sold
,
&c.
As
if
he
should
say
;
You
are
indeed
vnder
bondage
,
but
your selues
haue
made
slaues
of
your selues
,
by
your
owne
vngodlinesse
.
Likewise
,
vnder
the
New
Testament
,
where
our
Sauiour
likeneth
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
to
a
certaine
King
which
would
take
account
of
his
seruants
,
and
when
hee
had
begun
to
reckon
,
one
was
brought
vnto
him
which
ought
him
10000.
talents
,
and
because
he
had
nothing
to
pay
,
he
commaunded
him
to
be
sold
,
and
his
wife
,
and
his
children
,
and
all
that
hee
had
,
and
the
debt
to
be
paid
,
&c.
So
that
the
creditor
did
the
widdow
no
wrong
▪
shee
being
insufficient
,
to
take
her
two
sonnes
to
be
his
Bond-men
;
and
yet
shee
complaines
to
the
Prophet
,
I
will
not
say
of
the
cruelty
of
the
Creditor
,
the
Law
then
so
requiring
it
,
but
rather
of
her
owne
distressed
estate
,
who
was
in
danger
of
the
losse
of
so
great
comforts
,
the
losse
whereof
how
great
it
was
,
may
appeare
by
the
example
of
a
poore
man
,
of
whom
Saint
Basil
writes
,
who
hauing
many
children
,
in
a
heauie
time
of
Famine
,
was
with
all
of
them
euen
at
the
point
of
a
famishment
,
ready
to
starue
for
want
of
food
:
for
the
relieuing
of
whom
,
one
of
them
must
be
sold
,
to
buy
corne
and
victuals
withall
,
to
saue
all
the
rest
aliue
.
The
father
cals
his
wife
,
and
causes
her
to
call
all
his
children
together
,
they
aduise
each
with
other
which
of
them
they
should
depart
from
,
and
so
,
not
without
teares
,
the
father
beholding
the
eldest
,
the
beginning
of
his
strength
,
the
excellencie
of
his
dignitie
,
the
first
that
called
him
father
;
the
second
,
too
young
;
the
third
,
like
the
father
;
the
fourth
,
the
mothers
darling
;
the
fift
,
the
expresse
image
of
the
grand-father
;
the
sixt
,
well
made
,
and
like
to
proue
a
souldier
;
the
last
,
wittie
,
ingenious
,
and
very
fit
to
make
a
Schollar
:
so
tender-hearted
was
this
kinde
and
naturall
father
,
as
that
he
could
not
find
any
one
amongst
them
,
from
whom
he
might
depart
,
chusing
rather
to
redeeme
all
their
liues
with
his
owne
perill
and
danger
,
then
to
suffer
any
one
of
them
to
depart
vpon
so
hard
conditions
.
Blame
not
then
this
poore
woman
,
although
shee
complaine
for
this
her
losse
of
the
hope
of
her
comfort
in
both
her
sonnes
,
at
once
;
considering
that
the
sodainenesse
of
her
change
vpon
the
death
of
her
husband
,
together
with
the
hastinesse
of
the
Creditor
to
see
his
owne
,
perhaps
was
such
as
it
could
not
but
moue
her
greatly
to
labour
euery
way
for
her
release
.
But
on
the
other
side
,
(
to
this
of
debts
to
be
payed
by
the
taking
of
the
debtor
,
his
wife
and
children
,
to
be
as
bond-men
to
the
Creditors
behoofe
,
by
their
labours
and
trauailes
,
so
to
be
imployed
vntill
the
debt
be
satisfied
,
)
I
heare
some
carelesse
altogether
of
all
good
credit
,
and
iust
dealing
,
to
say
and
giue
out
;
Tush
I
feare
no
such
bondage
,
the
Gospel
hath
taken
away
all
the
straitnesse
that
was
in
the
Law
,
of
that
slauish
seruitude
in
former
ages
;
I
will
deale
well
enough
,
although
I
pay
not
any
thing
.
I
answer
thee
,
Thou
doest
greatly
abuse
the
libertie
of
the
Gospel
,
which
is
inward
,
and
stands
most
in
the
peace
of
a
good
conscience
,
by
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
whereof
thou
hast
made
ship
wracke
,
whilest
thou
giuest
thy selfe
liberty
to
liue
in
all
iniustice
,
vpon
the
spoyle
of
other
mens
goods
:
Yea
,
know
this
in
time
whilest
thou
mayest
know
it
,
that
thou
art
but
a
prophane
and
an
vnbeleeuing
wretch
;
thou
doest
blaspheme
God
,
and
takest
the
name
of
the
Gospel
in
vaine
in
thy
mouth
,
whilest
hauing
borrowed
,
and
out
of
other
mens
estates
hast
gathered
vnto
thy selfe
Lands
and
liuing
,
goods
and
money
,
which
vpon
a
false
trust
into
other
mens
hands
,
as
ill
as
thy selfe
,
thou
hast
turned
ouer
,
to
deceiue
by
,
and
vtterly
refusest
to
pay
,
or
at
least
will
pay
at
thy
pleasure
what
thou
seest
good
:
Know
this
,
that
howsoeuer
it
fall
out
with
thee
to
escape
the
hands
of
men
,
and
perhaps
vnder
colour
of
Law
doest
impudently
couer
thy
deceits
,
yet
assuredly
in
seeking
to
rid
thy selfe
from
the
dangers
of
men
,
thou
hast
sold
thy selfe
,
and
art
become
a
very
villaine
and
bond-slaue
to
the
Deuill
,
whose
hands
thou
canst
not
escape
;
vnder
whose
custody
if
once
,
(
not
preuenting
thy
fearefull
estate
in
due
time
,
by
returning
to
God
whilest
thou
art
called
to
repentance
)
be
assured
of
it
,
hell
hauing
receyued
thy
soule
and
body
,
thence
,
there
neither
is
nor
euer
can
be
redemption
;
but
as
in
the
Parable
of
the
Rich-man
and
Lazarus
,
as
vnder
the
speech
of
Abraham
to
the
Rich-man
being
in
hel
in
torments
,
lifting
vp
his
eyes
,
seeing
Abraham
a
farre
off
,
and
Lazarus
in
his
bosome
:
haue
mercy
vpon
me
,
and
send
Lazarus
,
that
he
may
dip
the
tippe
of
his
finger
in
water
,
and
coole
my
tongue
,
for
I
am
tormented
in
this
flame
:
But
Abraham
said
;
Sonne
,
remember
that
thou
in
thy
life
time
receiuedst
thy
pleasure
,
but
Lazarus
paines
;
now
therefore
he
is
comforted
,
and
thou
art
tormented
.
Besides
all
this
,
betweene
you
and
vs
there
is
a
great
gulfe
set
,
so
that
they
which
would
goe
from
hence
to
you
cannot
,
neither
can
they
come
from
hence
to
vs
,
&c.
So
that
once
with
the
Deuill
in
hel
,
thy
Mittimus
being
once
vnder
seale
,
&
charge
to
the
Iaylor
giuen
,
Take
him
,
bind
him
hand
and
foot
,
with
that
most
wofull
sentence
of
the
Iudge
:
Depart
thou
cursed
one
into
Hell
,
there
to
be
tormented
with
the
Deuill
and
his
Angels
for
euer
,
neuer
after
looke
to
be
released
.
But
,
what
is
laid
downe
in
the
case
of
an
vniust
Debtor
,
is
and
may
fitly
be
applyed
vnto
a
hard
,
mercilesse
,
and
vnconscionable
Creditor
,
who
is
like
to
drinke
of
the
same
Cup
,
euen
the
Cup
of
Gods
eternall
wrath
;
whom
to
lay
downe
I
cannot
better
,
then
from
the
out-cry
of
a
poore
,
honest
,
and
well-minded
Debtor
,
whose
pittifull
moane
and
complaint
goes
in
this
manner
:
Alas
,
(
saith
hee
)
I
doe
indeed
owe
much
,
and
haue
not
presently
to
pay
,
but
as
it
arises
out
of
my
trade
,
and
honest
labour
;
little
I
haue
,
but
that
little
I
am
willing
to
depart
from
vnto
satisfaction
:
Yea
further
,
my selfe
,
my
wife
,
and
children
,
all
of
vs
,
will
ioyne
together
in
one
▪
freely
,
to
the
vttermost
by
our
labours
and
trauailes
,
to
worke
out
what
is
in
our
power
for
the
Creditors
best
profit
:
But
alas
this
will
not
serue
his
turne
,
he
will
haue
all
(
and
all
he
may
haue
in
time
vnder
Gods
blessing
,
if
hee
would
but
a
while
depend
with
vs
vpon
Gods
prouidence
,
whose
blessing
alone
makes
rich
,
(
viz.
)
of
extreamitie
,
and
moderation
?
I
will
then
doe
well
enough
with
the
beggarly
knaue
:
He
will
haue
what
Law
will
giue
him
to
the
vttermost
,
body
and
goods
,
yea
all
will
not
serue
his
vnmercifull
and
bloud-thirstie
humour
:
And
whereas
wee
are
in
hand
with
the
Law
of
bondage
,
(
as
before
)
wherein
Husband
,
Wife
,
and
Children
,
were
by
their
honest
labours
to
trauaile
euery
way
at
the
Creditors
pleasure
,
and
for
his
best
auaile
:
hee
will
no
way
yeeld
to
haue
his
mony
paid
in
that
sort
by
peece-meale
:
Hee
will
rather
(
if
by
and
vnder
the
Letter
of
the
Law
he
may
haue
it
,
)
see
him
rot
in
prison
,
and
wife
and
children
starue
all
at
home
,
then
to
accept
of
such
beggarly
payment
,
wherein
I
may
compare
this
bloud-thirstie
wretch
vnto
a
certaine
Iew
,
of
whom
wee
reade
,
who
hauing
lent
money
to
a
Christian
,
the
day
being
come
,
and
the
poore
Christian
not
able
to
make
payment
,
the
Iew
was
contented
,
so
he
might
haue
a
pound
of
the
Christians
flesh
,
to
loose
the
nine
hundred
crownes
,
for
so
much
was
the
debt
that
the
Christian
ought
him
.
But
this
hard
and
vnequall
course
is
no
way
befitting
the
Church
or
people
of
God
,
in
a
Christian
Common-wealth
:
Nay
rather
,
the
rich
Creditor
abounding
in
all
wealth
,
if
hee
will
approue
himselfe
to
be
a
good
man
,
not
before
men
,
(
because
of
his
wealth
,
for
that
may
deceiue
)
but
before
God
in
Christ
Iesus
,
(
being
mercifull
as
Christ
is
mercifull
)
he
must
rather
forgoe
all
,
and
simply
forgiue
the
debt
,
then
vpon
a
wilfull
reuenge
to
attempt
to
doe
any
thing
that
may
endanger
the
life
of
that
his
poore
Debtor
:
or
if
not
wholly
to
forgiue
,
which
is
an
extreame
on
his
part
,
yet
at
the
least
to
haue
a
conscionable
regard
of
his
inability
,
and
therein
so
to
accept
of
his
debt
,
as
by
day
and
day
he
may
at
the
last
(
God
so
seeing
it
good
for
both
)
receiue
his
owne
in
part
or
in
whole
,
without
the
hurt
of
any
one
of
them
both
.
Whereunto
if
parties
cannot
be
drawn
betweene
themselues
,
rather
then
by
their
owne
violent
and
delatory
courses
,
for
the
gaine
onely
of
time
,
without
the
good
of
any
one
of
them
,
they
shall
spoile
each
other
,
it
is
not
amisse
the
Iudge
himselfe
vpon
the
iust
notice
of
the
cause
doth
doe
,
by
enforcing
whithersoeuer
of
them
is
faulty
by
his
power
and
authority
,
immediately
to
yeeld
to
what
indifferent
course
,
for
both
their
goods
he
shall
at
the
very
instant
assigne
them
vnto
.
For
doubtlesse
it
is
generally
supposed
,
that
euery
Law
of
Iustice
,
especially
amongst
vs
Christians
,
hath
these
two
things
in
it
;
that
is
,
the
very
extremity
in
plaine
termes
,
according
to
the
letter
of
the
Law
,
and
the
mitigation
of
the
extreamity
,
according
to
circumstances
implyed
in
it
;
because
otherwise
,
Summum
ius
(
cannot
be
)
but
Summa
iniuria
.
And
this
seemeth
the
Prophet
Dauid
to
teach
from
himselfe
,
in
his
owne
person
,
when
he
saith
;
I
will
sing
mercy
,
and
iudgement
.
But
to
what
end
is
all
this
,
will
some
say
?
Truly
not
beside
the
matter
in
hand
,
wherein
my
purpose
is
to
iustifie
the
execution
of
both
these
parts
of
the
Law
(
viz.
)
Extreamity
and
Mitigation
,
each
of
them
,
according
to
their
times
,
and
this
to
doe
,
as
in
other
cases
,
so
in
the
case
of
the
Creditor
and
Debtor
:
first
as
any
one
of
them
shall
be
spyed
out
to
exceede
in
oppressing
each
other
,
that
then
according
to
the
expresse
letter
of
the
Law
,
(
the
intent
of
the
Law
being
the
good
of
the
people
)
they
be
so
dealt
withall
,
thereby
to
breake
the
necke
of
the
stubborne
and
contentious
party
,
to
make
him
to
know
himselfe
,
as
yet
the
other
point
of
mitigation
closely
concealed
,
without
the
which
no
Law
intented
to
be
,
may
for
the
ioynt
good
of
either
,
according
to
equity
,
be
duely
also
and
seasonably
by
the
Iudge
executed
;
prouided
alwayes
that
this
moderation
of
Law
in
the
extreamity
thereof
,
come
not
too
late
,
when
(
if
not
at
all
)
yet
the
greatest
part
of
that
worth
of
that
which
is
sued
for
,
is
come
already
into
the
Lawyers
Coffers
,
a
little
perhaps
remaining
behind
for
the
suing
party
himselfe
,
and
this
doubtlesse
is
the
generall
complaint
throughout
the
Land
.
I
know
againe
it
will
be
said
,
that
I
goe
ouer-far
in
this
point
,
medling
with
the
Law
,
beyond
my
limits
:
To
this
I
answere
,
that
when
a
meere
cruell
oppressour
shall
vnder
colour
of
Law
to
get
his
owne
,
where
perhaps
it
is
not
possibly
to
be
had
,
and
in
all
extreamity
to
wreake
his
wroth
by
it
,
keepe
that
his
poore
debtor
in
prison
so
long
vntill
he
be
ready
to
starue
,
and
so
endanger
his
life
,
which
is
an
entrance
vpon
the
Kings
free-hold
;
yea
,
and
this
to
doe
as
vnder
the
Kings
name
,
in
the
abuse
of
the
Kings
Writ
,
making
the
Law
and
the
King
ioyntly
partakers
of
this
their
cruelty
,
to
the
ouerthrow
many
times
of
a
better
Subiect
to
the
King
then
himselfe
is
:
It
is
time
then
that
equity
,
the
fountaine
whereof
is
the
Word
of
God
,
and
we
as
the
buckets
by
whom
ye
all
must
draw
forth
,
as
out
of
the
holy
and
heauenly
wells
,
the
comfortable
waters
of
your
saluation
,
it
is
high
time
for
vs
to
put
in
fact
,
considering
that
it
is
a
doctrine
which
Salomon
as
from
Gods
speciall
instinct
hath
left
vs
to
teach
;
In
the
multitude
of
a
people
,
is
the
honour
of
a
King
(
saith
he
)
and
for
want
of
people
,
commeth
the
destruction
of
the
Prince
:
Whence
thus
I
reason
;
If
Kings
themselues
by
all
equity
and
clemency
are
to
encrease
,
and
not
by
tyranny
to
lessen
their
people
,
as
doubtlesse
they
are
,
and
good
reason
,
because
where
this
care
is
not
,
their
Territories
and
Countries
are
easily
subdued
,
and
the
borders
of
their
gouernment
diminished
:
Much
lesse
are
they
to
suffer
the
people
one
to
eate
vp
and
deuoure
another
;
yea
,
if
so
be
the
people
will
,
and
doe
generally
condemne
tyrannous
cruelty
and
oppression
in
their
Kings
to
them
,
much
more
were
it
to
be
condemned
betweene
themselues
.
The
doctrine
then
hence
is
,
that
all
Kings
,
Magistrates
,
and
people
,
must
by
all
meanes
auoide
all
occasions
of
bloud-shedding
,
or
wilfull
murdering
of
any
,
because
God
will
not
suffer
the
life
of
a
man
to
goe
vnreuenged
:
as
it
is
said
;
At
the
hand
of
a
mans
brother
will
I
require
the
life
of
man
.
Who
so
sheddeth
mans
bloud
,
by
man
shall
his
bloud
be
shed
:
For
in
the
Image
of
God
he
made
man
.
Whereunto
let
me
adde
this
,
that
not
onely
murder
it selfe
is
forbidden
,
but
euery
tracke
or
path
that
leadeth
to
it
.
The
vse
that
we
must
make
of
this
point
is
,
alwayes
vpon
the
troublesome
and
furious
motions
of
our
wrathfull
and
reuengefull
affections
and
fierie
passions
,
to
looke
backe
to
the
holy
Word
of
God
,
and
thereby
so
to
temper
our selues
,
as
that
we
suffer
not
our
rage
in
any
wise
to
breake
out
;
because
,
if
God
,
(
as
it
is
said
)
will
put
the
teares
of
his
Saints
into
the
bottle
of
his
remembrance
,
much
more
shall
he
auenge
himselfe
of
the
bloud
of
any
of
his
people
.
But
now
to
returne
againe
to
the
Widdow
,
so
pittifully
complaining
to
the
Prophet
vpon
the
Creditor
,
his
taking
her
two
sonnes
to
be
his
bondmen
,
concerning
whom
,
her
sorrow
being
then
so
great
vpon
the
losse
of
her
two
sonnes
,
if
thou
shalt
by
comparing
time
past
with
the
present
time
,
and
the
courses
which
then
were
vsed
for
the
satisfying
of
debts
to
the
Creditors
,
with
those
straight
courses
that
now
are
vsed
,
and
shalt
finde
,
and
as
it
were
sensibly
feele
,
that
the
Creditors
of
these
dayes
,
and
the
meanes
they
vse
towards
those
poore
debtors
of
theirs
,
are
more
hard
and
grieuous
;
learne
thou
,
first
,
whilest
thou
art
at
liberty
and
thy
state
sound
,
learne
betimes
to
auoide
all
occasions
of
falling
into
the
hands
of
so
vnmercifull
men
,
and
no
further
deale
with
them
if
it
be
possible
,
then
thou
mayest
at
thine
owne
pleasure
easily
escape
out
of
their
hands
.
If
thy
liberty
,
thy
state
,
thy
Wife
,
thy
Children
,
yea
,
thy
life
be
so
deare
vnto
thee
,
and
the
losse
of
them
so
sharpe
and
grieuous
,
let
not
present
pleasures
,
nor
the
seruing
of
thy
turne
to
prodigall
,
or
vnnecessary
vses
,
or
any
way
besides
the
duties
of
thy
calling
,
so
soon
,
or
so
easily
draw
thee
to
buy
repentance
at
so
hard
a
rate
.
But
doth
this
lesson
come
a
little
too
late
,
art
thou
already
caught
by
the
heele
?
learne
then
from
this
Widdow
a
second
lesson
;
lie
not
thou
still
in
thy
wofull
and
perplexed
estate
,
but
speedily
repaire
for
remedy
and
comfort
where
it
is
to
be
had
,
to
God
first
by
prayer
,
for
the
remedying
or
reforming
rather
of
what
master-sinne
soeuer
is
in
thee
,
or
for
patience
vnder
this
thy
crosse
;
then
to
the
Minister
,
to
the
Magistrate
,
to
thy
Creditor
,
to
thy
Friends
,
as
helpers
and
sollicitors
for
thee
,
loose
no
time
,
redeeme
it
rather
,
it
is
the
Wisedome
of
God
by
Salomon
;
Doe
this
now
my
sonne
,
and
deliuer
thy selfe
,
seeing
thou
art
come
into
the
hand
of
thy
neighbour
,
goe
and
humble
thy selfe
,
and
sollicite
thy
friends
,
giue
no
sleepe
to
thine
eyes
,
nor
slumber
to
thine
eye-liddes
,
deliuer
thy selfe
as
a
Doe
from
the
hand
of
the
Hunter
,
and
as
a
Bird
from
the
hand
of
a
Fowler
.
What
thou
doest
herein
doe
speedily

(
Mora

)
make
proofe
at
once
of
the
lawfull
meanes
,
and
leaue
the
successe
to
God
;
knowing
this
,
that
he
it
is
that
hath
the
hearts
of
men
in
his
hands
,
yea
,
and
for
thy
good
:
Salomon
.
The
Kings
heart
is
in
the
hands
of
the
Lord
,
as
the
Riuers
of
waters
he
turneth
it
whithersoeuer
it
pleaseth
him
.
Let
nothing
step
in
thy
way
to
discourage
thee
in
the
lawfull
and
seasonable
vsing
of
these
meanes
for
thy
remedy
,
for
,
for
thee
,
euen
for
thee
,
and
for
thy
reliefe
are
all
Kings
,
Princes
,
Iudges
,
Magistrates
,
Ministers
,
appointed
,
and
by
him
set
vp
:
For
he
is
the
Minister
of
God
for
thy
wealth
.
But
because
where
such
popular
oppressions
doe
grow
,
and
as
by
way
of
example
one
from
another
they
doe
daily
increase
,
it
argues
remissenesse
both
in
the
Gouernours
and
gouernment
,
and
some
heauy
iudgement
(
of
what
kinde
he
best
knowes
that
is
the
Iudge
of
all
)
to
hang
ouer
that
Land
;
for
so
it
appeares
to
haue
beene
in
the
dayes
of
the
Prophet
Esay
,
who
prophecying
of
a
desolation
to
fall
vpon
the
people
of
Ierusalem
and
Iudah
,
as
is
to
see
in
these
words
:
For
loe
the
Lord
of
Hosts
will
take
away
from
Ierusalem
and
Iudah
the
stay
and
the
strength
,
&c.
In
the
fifth
verse
he
saith
,
to
the
purpose
I
haue
in
hand
:
The
people
shall
be
oppressed
one
of
another
,
and
euery
one
by
his
Neighbour
:
the
children
shall
presume
against
the
ancient
;
and
the
vile
against
the
honourable
.
But
because
when
these
grieuous
sinnes
of
oppression
and
vndutifulnesse
doe
exceede
,
it
stands
the
Magistrates
in
hand
first
in
themselues
to
begin
to
reforme
,
and
then
to
proceede
not
onely
to
make
Lawes
of
reformation
for
the
cleansing
of
the
Church
and
Common-wealth
of
their
enormities
,
but
to
proceede
with
all
seuerity
and
celerity
vnto
execution
;
and
because
hereunto
examples
doe
much
prouoke
,
let
me
be
bold
a
little
to
lay
downe
before
all
,
who
are
in
place
of
Magistracy
vnder
the
supreame
Magistrate
,
the
example
of
that
worthy
Gouernour
Nehemiah
:
It
is
yet
time
,
while
then
it
is
called
to
day
(
as
is
said
.
)
All
you
who
would
be
accounted
the
Fathers
of
your
Countries
,
reade
him
,
and
follow
him
.
Fathers
must
not
be
oppressors
;
Fathers
must
be
helpers
,
comforters
,
and
nourishers
of
their
Children
:
Fathers
must
not
suffer
oppression
in
their
Families
,
one
Childe
to
oppresse
another
;
so
the
Fathers
ouer
Churches
and
Common-wealthes
,
must
not
take
vpon
them
those
places
of
honour
and
renowne
for
their
owne
credit
,
gaine
,
or
ease
,
but
to
be
good
ouer-seers
of
their
people
,
carefull
punishers
of
oppression
;
and
not
to
suffer
(
inasmuch
as
in
them
lieth
)
one
to
oppresse
another
,
one
to
lay
ouer-heauy
yoakes
or
burdens
,
one
vpou
another
.
Nehemiah
5.
1.
verse
,
to
the
end
of
the
13.
Reade
it
I
beseech
you
,
marke
it
,
make
vse
of
it
,
and
God
assisting
you
,
doe
it
;
the
words
are
these
.
Now
there
was
a
great
crie
of
the
people
,
and
of
their
wiues
against
their
brethren
the
Iewes
.
2.
For
there
were
that
said
,
We
,
our
Sonnes
and
our
Daughters
,
are
many
;
therefore
we
take
vp
Corne
,
that
we
may
eate
,
and
liue
.
3.
And
there
were
that
said
,
we
must
gage
our
Lands
,
our
Vineyards
,
and
our
Houses
,
and
take
vp
Corne
for
the
famine
.
4.
There
were
also
that
said
,
we
haue
borrowed
money
for
the
Kings
tribute
vpon
our
Lands
,
and
vpon
our
Vineyards
.
5.
And
now
our
flesh
is
as
the
flesh
of
our
brethren
,
and
our
sonnes
as
their
sonnes
,
and
loe
(
saith
he
)
we
bring
into
subiection
our
sonnes
and
daughters
as
seruants
,
and
there
be
of
our
daughters
now
in
subiection
,
and
there
is
no
power
in
our
hands
;
for
other
men
haue
our
Lands
,
and
our
Vineyards
.
6.
Then
was
I
very
angry
,
when
I
heard
their
cry
,
and
these
words
.
7.
And
I
thought
in
my
minde
,
and
I
rebuked
their
Princes
and
Rulers
,
and
said
vnto
them
;
Ye
lay
burdens
euery
one
vpon
his
brethren
,
and
I
set
a
great
Assembly
against
them
.
8.
And
I
said
vnto
them
,
We
(
according
to
our
ability
)
haue
redeemed
our
brethren
the
Iewes
,
which
were
solde
vnto
the
Heathen
,
and
will
you
sell
your
brethren
againe
,
or
shall
they
be
solde
vnto
vs
?
Then
helde
they
their
peace
,
and
could
not
answere
.
9.
I
said
also
,
that
which
you
doe
,
is
not
good
;
ought
you
not
to
walke
in
the
feare
of
God
,
for
the
reproach
of
the
Heathen
our
enemies
?
10.
For
I
,
euen
I
,
my
brethren
and
seruants
doe
lend
them
money
and
corne
:
I
pray
you
let
vs
leaue
off
this
burthen
.
11.
Restore
vnto
them
,
I
pray
you
,
this
day
their
Lands
,
their
Vineyards
,
their
Oliues
,
and
their
houses
,
and
remit
the
100.
part
of
the
siluer
,
and
of
the
corne
,
of
the
Wine
,
and
of
the
Oyle
that
you
exact
of
them
.
12.
Then
,
said
they
,
we
will
restore
it
,
and
will
not
require
it
of
them
:
We
will
doe
as
thou
hast
said
.
Then
I
called
the
Priests
,
and
caused
them
to
sweare
that
they
should
doe
according
to
this
promise
.
13.
So
,
I
shooke
my
lappe
,
and
said
:
So
,
let
God
shake
out
euery
man
,
that
will
not
performe
this
promise
,
from
his
house
,
and
from
his
labour
:
euen
thus
let
him
be
shaken
out
,
and
emptied
.
And
all
the
Congregation
said
,
Amen
,
and
praysed
the
Lord
,
and
the
people
did
according
to
this
promise
:
Oh
blessed
Ruler
,
O
blessed
People
;
and
so
much
for
this
point
.
Now
followeth
,
the
Answer
of
the
Prophet
to
the
Widdow
,
by
way
of
conference
together
,
which
is
a
declaration
of
the
meanes
whereby
the
debt
is
to
be
payed
,
in
these
words
:
Verse
2.
Then
Elizha
said
vnto
her
;
What
shall
I
doe
for
thee
?
Tell
mee
,
What
hast
thou
at
home
?
And
she
said
,
Thine
hand-maid
hath
nothing
at
home
,
saue
a
pitcher
of
Oyle
.
Verse
3.
And
he
said
;
Goe
,
borrow
thee
vessels
abroad
of
all
thy
neighbours
,
emptie
vessels
,
and
spare
not
.
Verse
4.
And
when
thou
art
come
in
,
thou
shalt
shut
the
doore
vpon
thee
,
and
vpon
thy
sonnes
,
and
powre
out
into
all
those
vessels
,
and
set
aside
those
that
are
full
.
In
this
answer
to
her
complaint
by
the
Prophet
,
there
are
two
things
to
be
obserued
:
First
,
a
Question
:
Secondly
,
a
Counsaile
.
The
question
,
two-fold
:
First
,
What
shall
I
doe
for
thee
?
Secondly
,
What
hast
thou
at
home
,
&c.
The
Counsaile
,
Goe
,
and
borrow
thee
vessels
abroad
,
&c.
From
the
Prophets
example
,
wee
are
to
obserue
a
generall
poynt
for
our
practise
(
viz.
)
The
care
that
he
had
ouer
the
poore
widdow
,
which
appeares
in
his
first
demaund
;
What
shall
I
doe
for
thee
?
We
ought
to
doe
the
like
,
a
question
most
fit
for
all
fathers
of
Countries
,
Cities
,
and
Common-wealths
;
For
all
the
reuerend
Fathers
of
Churches
,
as
Bishops
,
Pastors
,
and
Teachers
,
yea
,
for
all
whom
it
concernes
to
be
as
the
Eares
,
Eyes
,
Mouth
,
Hands
,
Feete
,
and
what
not
,
for
the
poore
fatherlesse
,
the
stranger
,
the
oppressed
,
the
widdow
,
and
who
are
no
way
able
to
helpe
or
speake
for
themselues
.
Such
a
one
was
Iob
;
I
was
(
saith
he
)
the
Eyes
to
the
blinde
,
and
I
was
the
feet
to
the
lame
;
I
was
as
a
Father
vnto
the
poore
,
and
when
I
knew
not
the
cause
,
I
searched
it
out
diligently
;
I
brake
also
the
iawes
of
the
vnrighteous
man
,
and
pluckt
the
pray
out
of
his
mouth
:
This
is
,
to
doe
for
the
oppressed
,
not
barely
to
speake
for
;
and
yet
in
some
respect
,
speaking
may
be
doing
,
as
this
very
same
Prophet
,
in
a
care
hee
had
for
the
woman
of
Shunem
,
and
in
part
of
requitall
of
her
kinde
care
ouer
him
in
his
trauaile
:
He
said
to
his
man
in
these
words
,
Verse
13.
Then
he
said
to
him
(
that
is
,
to
his
man
)
say
vnto
her
now
;
Behold
,
thou
hast
had
all
this
great
care
ouer
vs
:
What
shall
wee
doe
for
thee
?
Is
there
any
thing
to
be
spoken
for
thee
to
the
King
,
or
to
the
Captaine
of
the
Hoste
?
Vnder
which
words
,
speaking
for
,
and
doing
,
are
ioyned
together
,
as
of
like
nature
and
condition
:
as
also
,
the
Ministers
of
the
Gospell
,
men
of
Law
in
the
cases
of
their
Clients
,
who
in
no
wise
are
to
spare
to
speake
in
the
cause
of
the
distressed
,
what
repulse
soeuer
they
haue
;
so
it
be
according
to
equitie
,
whose
speaking
may
be
(
being
throughly
and
seasonable
performed
,
in
a
case
of
iustice
and
iudgement
)
as
a
deed
done
;
for
certainly
words
auaile
not
,
where
deedes
are
not
:
Deedes
are
the
testifications
of
a
fruitfull
and
liuely
faith
,
which
faith
,
if
it
haue
no
deedes
,
is
dead
in
it selfe
.
Iames
:
For
if
a
brother
,
or
a
sister
,
be
naked
,
and
destitute
of
daily
food
,
and
one
of
you
say
to
them
;
Depart
in
peace
,
warme
your selues
,
and
fill
your
bellies
,
notwithstanding
yee
giue
them
not
those
things
that
are
needfull
for
the
body
,
What
helpeth
it
?
Euen
so
the
faith
,
if
it
haue
no
workes
,
is
dead
in
it selfe
.
But
this
spe●ch
of
the
Prophet
,
doubtlesse
,
was
powerfull
and
fruitfull
:
Bare
words
would
haue
done
to
her
small
comfort
;
they
were
then
,
and
are
now
,
Deedes
that
must
cheare
vp
the
hearts
of
the
afflicted
;
or
,
(
as
I
may
say
)
words
that
carry
deedes
with
them
,
as
these
of
the
Prophets
:
What
shall
I
doe
for
thee
?
But
,
alas
,
wordes
tending
to
the
good
of
the
poore
,
especially
in
cases
of
suit
,
are
growne
to
so
high
a
rate
,
as
they
can
hardly
reach
.
But
let
each
party
that
reades
this
,
vpon
view-taking
of
the
slender
deedes
of
charitie
that
these
dayes
affoord
,
(
especially
where
the
Lawyer
must
be
vsed
in
the
helping
of
the
distressed
,
and
oppressed
,
to
his
right
)
let
him
not
weigh
with
himselfe
what
the
World
doth
,
but
let
him
see
into
the
example
of
this
Prophet
,
what
himselfe
should
doe
,
and
doe
it
;
and
hauing
considered
what
,
when
,
to
whom
,
and
in
that
kinde
hee
may
doe
good
,
let
him
resolutely
,
and
speedily
,
as
occasion
serueth
,
doe
it
:
For
true
is
the
Prouerbe
,
Qui
cito
dat
,
bis
dat
,
He
giueth
two
gifts
at
once
,
who
giueth
one
speedily
:
and
let
Solomon
herein
be
thy
director
,
who
teacheth
thus
;
Say
not
vnto
thy
neighbour
,
Goe
,
and
come
againe
,
and
to
morrow
will
I
giue
thee
,
if
thou
now
haue
it
.
What
shall
I
doe
for
thee
?
And
as
it
followeth
,
34.
Verse
;
Hee
came
neere
to
him
,
he
had
compassion
of
him
,
he
bound
vp
his
wounds
,
hee
powred
in
Oyle
,
and
Wine
,
and
put
him
on
his
owne
beast
,
and
brought
him
to
an
Inne
,
and
made
prouision
for
him
,
to
the
end
,
&c.
Thus
,
vpon
the
proffer
of
a
poore
man
that
wants
thy
helpe
,
when
God
will
make
proofe
of
thy
faith
,
according
to
thy
fruitfulnesse
in
mercy
;
bethinke
thee
then
with
this
Prophett
,
and
say
:
What
shall
I
doe
for
such
a
one
for
his
reliefe
?
and
doe
it
;
for
assure
thy selfe
,
what
faire
shew
soeuer
thou
makest
in
the
profession
of
the
Gospel
,
denoting
thy selfe
to
all
holy
exercises
of
faith
and
holinesse
,
without
works
of
mercie
to
testifie
the
same
,
woefull
is
thy
profession
:
for
,
as
Saint
Iames
saith
,
Pure
Religion
,
and
vndefiled
before
God
,
euen
the
Father
,
is
this
;
To
visit
the
Fatherlesse
,
and
Widdowes
in
their
aduersitie
,
and
to
keepe
himselfe
vnspotted
in
the
World
.
Seeing
then
wee
can
no
further
approue
our selues
to
God
,
then
wee
finde
and
feele
our
hearts
inclinable
to
pitty
,
and
mercy
,
and
such
other
fruits
of
the
spirit
,
and
to
the
vnreuocably
,
resolute
execution
of
them
;
because
it
in
not
enough
to
thinke
,
purpose
,
and
resolue
to
doe
good
,
but
we
must
do
it
.
Let
euery
one
,
great
and
small
,
make
a
holy
and
a
good
vse
of
this
point
,
examining
our selues
,
what
we
haue
beene
formerly
,
what
we
should
be
,
and
how
vnapt
and
vnready
wee
haue
beene
and
are
to
that
which
we
should
both
be
,
and
doe
:
and
as
thou
feelest
thine
errour
,
finding
out
thine
vnmercifull
and
hard
heart
,
how
vnready
to
doe
any
good
to
the
poore
and
needy
,
how
strait
a
hand
thou
hast
held
ouer
thy
Tenants
,
thy
Workemen
,
thy
Seruants
,
thy
Debtors
,
and
all
other
thy
poore
Neighbours
;
making
alwaies
gaine
out
of
the
dung-hill
(
with
him
that
said
,
Lucri
suavis
odor
est
ex
re
qualibet
)
to
be
thy
godlinesse
,
acknowledge
thy selfe
,
and
lay
downe
thine
owne
wayes
,
as
Dauid
did
,
before
the
Lord
in
these
words
:
I
haue
declared
my
wayes
,
and
thou
heardest
mee
;
for
God
loueth
men
when
they
can
confesse
against
themselues
their
sinnes
with
remorse
,
and
as
in
touch
of
conscience
,
I
haue
sinned
,
and
peruerted
righteousnesse
,
and
it
doth
no
way
profit
mee
.
And
hauing
gone
thus
farre
in
examining
thy selfe
,
both
of
what
thou
hast
beene
in
former
time
,
with
a
dislike
of
the
wayes
of
sinne
,
wherein
thou
before
thy
effectuall
calling
walkedst
,
especially
those
thy
sinnes
of
cruell
,
hard
,
rigorous
,
and
vnmercifull
dealing
with
all
men
;
as
also
,
if
thou
findest
in
thee
a
desire
to
be
ridde
of
all
those
olde
and
tattered
ragges
of
worldlinesse
,
which
thou
diddest
weare
in
the
dayes
of
thine
oppression
,
and
cruelty
,
at
what
time
thy
money
,
thy
lands
,
thy
cattle
,
thy
corne
,
were
as
thy
gods
:
and
doest
on
the
other
side
desire
to
be
mercifull
,
and
tender
hearted
,
putting
vpon
thee
a
new
liuery
,
euen
the
robe
of
Christs
righteousnesse
,
and
the
liuery
garment
of
Christ
Iesus
himselfe
,
in
all
tender
compassion
,
then
shalt
thou
,
vpon
this
sodaine
change
of
thy
affections
,
bethinke
thy selfe
,
and
seeke
how
thou
mayest
from
henceforth
with
thy
wealth
,
money
,
lands
,
and
liuing
,
doe
good
to
the
Church
,
to
the
Common-wealth
,
to
the
poore
,
miserable
,
and
needie
;
how
thou
mayest
bestow
thy
goods
to
the
restoring
of
the
decayed
,
setting
at
libertie
the
poore
,
that
are
indebted
,
out
of
hard
bondage
,
and
imprisonment
:
Lord
,
Behold
,
the
halfe
of
my
goods
I
doe
giue
to
the
poore
:
and
if
I
haue
taken
from
any
man
by
forged
cauillation
▪
I
restore
him
foure-fold
,
&c.
But
in
thus
beeing
minded
,
if
thou
findest
it
hard
for
thee
to
performe
,
and
art
driuen
to
say
with
Paul
:
For
to
will
is
present
with
mee
,
but
I
finde
no
meanes
to
performe
that
which
is
good
,
&c.
Goe
on
yet
still
,
and
lay
downe
,
as
before
,
thy
wants
,
and
weakenesses
,
neuer
giue
ouer
to
confesse
against
thy selfe
,
against
thy
best-beloued
sin
,
and
pray
withall
,
and
say
:
Lord
,
thou
that
hast
set
at
libertie
the
feete
of
the
lame
,
hast
commaunded
the
sicknesses
and
diseases
of
men
and
women
to
depart
and
to
leaue
them
,
and
hast
made
them
,
by
the
word
of
thy
mouth
,
whole
and
sound
,
to
goe
and
walke
about
their
affaires
:
so
I
come
to
thee
,
O
Father
,
I
come
to
thee
for
my
sicke
,
sinnefull
,
leprous
,
blinde
,
halt
,
lame
,
couetous
,
and
adulterous
soule
,
possessed
with
a
legion
of
vncleane
Deuills
:
and
I
say
to
thee
,
and
beseech
thee
,
with
the
Centurion
,
speake
thou
the
word
onely
,
and
I
shall
be
healed
,
cleansed
,
and
deliuered
from
the
power
of
sinne
:
set
my
soule
at
libertie
,
and
giue
me
thine
holy
Spirit
,
then
shall
I
be
free
:
For
,
as
the
Apostle
Paul
saith
:
Where
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
,
there
is
libertie
,
yea
perfect
and
full
libertie
indeed
.
Then
,
and
neuer
before
shalt
thou
be
able
to
preuaile
against
all
thy
corruptions
,
then
shall
neither
Idolatry
nor
Blasphemy
,
nor
Sabboth-breaking
,
no
Rebellion
,
no
dishonourable
account
of
thy
naturall
Fathers
,
of
Magistrates
,
or
Ministers
,
no
malice
,
no
murdering
affections
,
no
deceit
,
no
adultery
;
then
shall
neither
sinne
nor
Sathan
preuaile
ouer
thee
,
to
thy
destruction
.
Acknowledge
God
mightie
in
mercy
,
and
say
to
him
in
Prayer
from
thy
heart
:
Lord
,
say
Lord
to
mee
,
speake
but
the
word
,
and
commaund
my
heart
to
feare
thee
,
commaund
thou
my
soule
and
body
to
leaue
off
to
doe
euill
,
and
to
doe
the
thing
that
is
iust
and
vpright
,
and
I
know
I
shall
feare
thee
.
Yea
,
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
say
to
God
as
he
said
;
I
will
,
yea
I
shall
,
runne
the
way
of
thy
Commaundements
,
when
thou
shalt
enlarge
my
heart
.
And
let
thy
louing
kindnesse
come
to
mee
,
and
thy
saluation
,
according
to
thy
promise
.
And
in
this
thy
asking
,
make
sure
to
thy selfe
,
that
thou
mayest
be
able
to
charge
God
with
his
promise
,
and
that
thou
art
of
them
to
whom
all
Gods
promises
doe
appertaine
,
that
so
thou
mayest
be
able
to
say
and
pray
to
thy
Lord
God
with
feeling
,
as
Dauid
,
and
doubtlesse
thou
shalt
finde
a
comfortable
change
vpon
this
thy
thus
examining
,
and
further
proceeding
with
thy selfe
in
forme
aforesaid
.
Now
it
followeth
;
What
hast
thou
at
home
?
Whereof
,
as
briefely
as
I
may
,
and
so
to
the
Answere
of
the
Widdow
,
and
the
Counsaile
of
the
Prophet
vpon
this
her
answer
.
Wherein
,
as
well
may
be
gathered
out
of
the
Prophets
words
following
her
Answer
,
this
,
in
the
3.
and
4.
Verses
,
that
each
person
that
is
indebted
,
is
,
out
of
that
which
remaines
ouer
and
aboue
his
ordinary
prouision
for
meat
,
drinke
,
and
necessary
apparell
,
to
make
state
of
the
rest
,
to
the
Creditours
best
behoofe
,
without
further
fraud
,
couin
,
or
deceit
:
This
alwaies
reserued
,
that
nothing
of
present
vse
,
wherein
rests
the
continuing
estate
of
present
life
,
as
meat
,
drinke
,
and
necessary
apparrell
is
to
be
taken
away
,
or
detained
from
him
:
and
to
that
purpose
speakes
Moses
:
If
thou
lend
money
to
my
people
,
that
is
,
to
the
poore
with
thee
,
thou
shalt
not
be
as
an
Vsurer
to
him
,
yee
shall
not
oppresse
him
with
Vsury
.
26.
If
thou
take
thy
Neighbours
rayment
to
pledge
,
thou
shalt
restore
it
before
the
Sunne
goe
downe
.
27.
For
that
is
his
couering
onely
,
and
this
is
his
garment
for
his
skinne
:
Wherein
shall
hee
sleepe
?
Therefore
when
he
crieth
vnto
mee
,
I
will
heare
him
,
for
I
am
mercifull
.
Doubtlesse
,
the
Prophet
did
not
aske
her
,
of
her
estate
,
to
the
end
hee
might
fleece
her
to
his
owne
behoofe
,
as
the
present
age
of
this
World
doth
,
that
is
,
to
lye
in
wait
for
aduantage
,
and
so
long
as
there
remaines
any
flesh
at
all
vpon
the
bone
to
picke
,
yea
so
long
with
the
Crowes
,
Cadowes
,
Kites
,
and
Cormorants
in
the
World
,
to
be
praying
vpon
it
:
But
,
as
a
man
of
God
,
by
godly
counsaile
,
in
due
season
,
taking
occasion
to
helpe
her
distressed
estate
,
and
out
of
that
her
small
store
that
remained
,
he
aduises
her
in
the
feare
of
God
,
and
ioynes
with
her
vnto
God
,
that
as
by
his
speciall
helpe
(
when
all
helpes
faile
)
hee
will
(
as
the
euent
shewes
he
did
)
so
vouch-safe
her
deliuerance
,
out
of
this
her
present
griefe
,
to
the
glory
of
his
owne
name
,
the
comfort
of
her
,
and
credit
of
her
children
;
as
also
,
to
the
continuance
of
her
Husbands
good
report
,
in
the
full
satisfaction
of
the
Creditor
.
Hee
doth
not
herein
,
as
the
men
of
the
World
in
their
selfe-loue
,
narrowly
searching
by
themselues
,
and
their
spies
,
factors
for
that
purpose
,
where
and
whence
any
gaine
,
neuer
so
course
,
vile
,
base
,
shucking
,
and
abhominable
,
is
to
be
had
and
gotten
,
vsually
to
lay
hold
of
it
:
He
doth
not
enquire
of
that
small
remainder
she
had
,
to
buy
it
of
her
for
little
or
naught
,
taking
occasion
of
her
necessitie
,
that
afterwards
he
might
make
his
boast
of
his
great
penniworths
:
For
this
is
the
World
;
happy
is
hee
that
can
ouer-reach
others
in
bargaining
,
that
can
buy
cheape
,
and
sell
deare
,
hauing
a
tongue
that
can
change
note
vpon
a
sodaine
:
as
before
he
buy
the
thing
,
when
he
sees
commodity
to
be
had
,
to
say
it
is
naught
,
the
time
serues
not
,
it
will
decay
in
your
hand
;
the
longer
you
keepe
it
the
lesse
you
will
make
of
it
;
the
sooner
you
make
it
off
,
the
better
:
but
hauing
laid
wait
for
it
by
some
other
(
if
his
owne
perswasion
will
not
preuaile
)
and
so
by
cunning
sleight
,
at
the
last
hauing
got
it
into
his
hands
;
then
,
at
an
instant
,
it
is
good
,
and
very
good
,
and
so
according
to
the
person
that
enioyeth
any
matter
of
commoditie
,
the
price
to
be
,
as
doubtlesse
it
is
and
may
well
be
in
some
cases
,
the
things
with
the
circumstances
and
persons
well
weighed
.
Salomon
to
the
like
purpose
speakes
of
the
craftie
and
deceiuable
fashions
of
the
World
,
where
hee
saith
:
It
is
naught
,
it
is
naught
,
saith
the
buyer
;
but
when
he
is
gone
apart
,
he
boasleth
:
So
doe
men
in
these
dayes
,
(
sinne
and
iniquitie
hauing
got
the
vpper
hand
,
)
they
sinne
,
and
that
egregiously
,
in
what
kind
(
suppose
it
)
whatsoeuer
,
as
the
Prophet
Isay
saith
;
They
declare
their
sinnes
,
as
Sodome
,
and
hide
them
not
:
But
this
Prophet
in
his
demand
of
the
Widdow
what
shee
had
at
home
,
doth
it
wholly
with
respect
of
the
care
he
had
to
relieue
the
Widdowes
distresse
by
his
counsell
,
and
by
what
comfortable
manner
he
might
indeed
performe
the
same
.
In
whose
example
rests
a
good
instruction
for
all
whom
in
such
a
case
it
may
concerne
,
especially
the
very
Creditor
himselfe
,
because
this
Scripture
is
occupyed
wholly
in
the
things
concerning
the
Creditor
and
the
Debtor
,
that
hee
doe
not
by
casting
his
eye
too
much
vpon
what
his
poore
Debtor
hath
left
,
(
hauing
nothing
left
,
but
what
must
serue
present
necessity
perhaps
)
to
lust
after
it
,
and
to
seeke
to
wind
it
wholly
out
of
his
hands
to
his
owne
vse
;
but
he
must
rather
forget
himselfe
,
and
set
vp
all
his
thoughts
how
that
which
remaineth
may
be
disposed
of
to
the
mutuall
good
of
them
both
,
according
as
God
may
blesse
it
in
time
to
both
their
goods
,
choosing
rather
to
loose
all
his
debt
,
then
so
hardly
to
draw
from
the
poore
distressed
man
that
thing
,
the
losse
whereof
cannot
but
withall
hazard
his
life
.
There
be
that
make
godlinesse
,
in
the
profession
thereof
,
to
be
a
very
large
cloake
to
gaine
by
,
but
such
persons
are
condemned
as
hypocrites
,
according
as
the
Prophet
Esay
sets
them
downe
in
their
colours
;
seeking
as
it
were
to
out-face
God
,
by
iustifying
their
holy
Fasts
against
him
,
when
indeede
there
was
nothing
but
cruelty
in
their
hearts
,
and
vnmercifulnesse
in
their
deedes
:
Wherefore
haue
we
fasted
,
and
thou
seest
it
not
?
(
say
they
)
on
the
one
side
we
haue
punished
our selues
,
and
thou
regardest
it
not
:
the
Lord
answeres
them
as
a
iust
Iudge
and
searcher
of
their
hearts
:
Behold
,
in
the
day
of
your
fast
you
will
seeke
your
will
(
saith
the
Lord
)
and
require
all
your
debts
:
As
if
he
would
say
;
The
true
fast
that
I
make
reckoning
of
,
is
to
fast
from
your
owne
gaine
,
and
testifying
it
by
releasing
of
your
poore
Debtors
of
the
straight
bonds
you
haue
them
in
:
and
thus
much
for
that
point
.
Onely
I
adde
this
with
the
Apostle
Paul
;
God
loueth
a
chearefull
giuer
,
to
stirre
thee
vp
,
that
whatsoeuer
thou
doest
in
any
worke
of
Christian
compassion
to
thy
Neighbour
,
to
doe
it
freely
and
chearefully
,
knowing
that
what
thou
doest
so
,
thou
doest
it
to
the
Lord
,
who
will
recompence
it
againe
,
as
Salomon
saith
:
He
that
hath
mercy
vpon
the
poore
,
lendeth
to
the
Lord
,
and
the
Lord
will
recompence
him
that
he
hath
giuen
.
And
thus
hauing
set
downe
that
both
the
Debtor
and
the
Creditor
are
each
to
respect
other
,
according
to
the
rule
of
Christian
equity
;
I
will
proceede
to
the
answere
of
the
Widdow
,
with
the
Prophets
replie
,
wherein
he
counsels
her
what
to
deo
for
her
reliefe
,
vpon
that
poore
remainder
of
her
Pitcher
of
Oyle
:
Her
answere
in
the
end
of
the
second
verse
;
Thine
Hand-maide
hath
nothing
at
home
saue
a
Pitcher
of
Oyle
.
It
appeares
in
the
holy
Scriptures
that
Oyle
was
of
speciall
vse
,
and
thereafter
also
in
great
request
,
and
according
to
their
seuerall
vses
,
so
the
kindes
were
sundry
,
some
seruiceable
vnto
the
sacrifices
,
some
to
the
annointing
of
Kings
,
Priests
,
and
Prophets
,
some
other
to
the
chearing
and
refreshing
of
mens
countenances
,
some
more
common
to
the
seruice
of
their
cakes
,
or
bread-making
,
instead
of
other
liquour
,
to
that
of
sacrifices
as
Moses
prescribeth
:
After
,
thou
shalt
put
Oyle
vpon
it
,
and
lay
incense
thereon
,
for
it
is
a
meate
offering
.
In
the
annointing
of
Kings
,
Then
Samuel
tooke
a
Viall
of
Oyle
,
and
poured
it
vpon
Sauls
head
,
&c.
For
the
chearing
of
the
heauy
countenance
:
It
is
said
;
And
wine
that
maketh
glad
the
heart
of
man
:
And
I
shall
be
annointed
with
fresh
Oyle
:
Oyle
that
maketh
the
face
to
shine
.
And
to
this
our
Sauiour
opposeth
sowre
lookes
,
when
he
saith
,
to
the
beating
downe
of
hypocrisie
in
religious
fasts
;
But
when
thou
fastest
,
annoint
thine
head
,
&c.
to
common
vses
,
where
the
Widdow
of
Sareptah
saide
to
Eliah
:
As
the
Lord
thy
God
liueth
,
I
haue
not
a
cake
,
but
euen
a
handfull
of
meale
in
a
barrell
,
and
a
little
oyle
in
a
cruse
:
Of
this
Oyle
,
which
appeares
to
be
of
the
most
vsuall
and
common
kinde
,
shee
had
but
a
small
quantity
,
farre
vnfit
to
pay
debt
withall
,
euen
one
poore
Pitcher
of
Oyle
.
But
thus
doth
God
most
vsually
deale
with
his
dearest
seruants
,
to
bring
them
very
low
,
yea
,
to
beggars
estate
;
wherein
our
Sauiour
himselfe
did
seeme
to
walke
,
and
that
to
speciall
purpose
:
first
,
to
teach
that
his
Kingdome
was
not
of
this
world
,
neither
came
he
to
abound
with
earthly
riches
,
as
where
hee
affirmes
to
the
Scribe
;
The
Foxes
haue
holes
,
and
the
Birds
of
the
Ayre
haue
nests
,
but
the
Son
of
man
hath
not
where
to
lay
his
head
:
which
also
he
doth
as
to
another
and
second
end
,
that
is
,
to
teach
his
Disciples
not
to
set
vp
their
rest
in
him
,
as
vnder
hope
to
obtaine
,
as
from
him
,
either
profits
,
promotions
,
or
pleasures
,
here
on
the
earth
;
but
rather
to
looke
vpward
to
Heauen
,
and
there
setting
their
affections
where
he
is
,
to
seeke
the
endlesse
comforts
of
euerlasting
ioy
,
according
to
which
purpose
,
the
Apostle
Paul
speaketh
.
1.
If
ye
be
risen
then
with
Christ
,
seeke
those
things
which
are
aboue
,
where
Christ
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
God
.
2.
Set
your
affections
on
things
which
are
aboue
,
and
not
on
things
which
are
on
earth
,
(
saith
he
.
)
Which
whilest
men
shall
seeke
to
doe
vnfainedly
,
it
cannot
possibly
be
auoyded
,
but
that
by
how
much
they
shall
finde
out
his
goodnesse
in
small
things
,
by
so
much
the
more
their
tongues
shall
be
occasioned
to
acknowledge
the
greatnesse
of
his
power
,
Maiesty
,
and
mercy
towards
them
,
and
so
finally
to
returne
the
praise
of
them
all
to
him
againe
.
Which
is
a
speciall
vse
that
we
must
make
of
this
point
(
viz.
)
that
although
wee
are
poore
,
not
to
esteeme
the
more
meanely
of
our selues
,
as
in
Gods
presence
,
considering
that
he
hath
sent
his
owne
Sonne
our
Lord
and
Master
Christ
Iesus
,
in
a
base
estate
,
to
fulfill
his
seruice
here
vpon
earth
,
to
his
glory
and
our
good
,
vnto
whom
as
his
seruants
wee
to
conforme
our selues
,
are
not
to
account
of
it
as
any
disparagement
at
all
.
These
lessons
are
to
be
laboured
vpon
,
very
much
:
first
,
the
corrupt
iudgement
of
the
World
,
which
doth
make
reckoning
of
men
who
are
poore
,
needy
,
indebted
,
and
out
of
credit
with
the
World
,
to
be
no
otherwise
with
God
;
besides
(
the
feare
that
many
men
haue
to
fall
into
pouerty
thereby
)
keeping
them
from
the
performing
of
the
workes
of
mercy
and
iust
dealing
,
arising
from
the
great
distrust
that
is
in
them
to
God-ward
,
because
of
the
care
ouer
their
owne
:
These
two
are
mightily
to
be
withstood
,
vpon
this
point
,
that
this
poore
widdow
had
no
more
then
one
poore
pitcher
of
Oyle
.
But
now
to
proceede
,
to
shew
to
what
end
the
Prophet
would
know
what
she
had
at
home
,
which
was
doubtles
to
this
end
,
that
he
might
aduise
her
,
as
also
deale
for
her
with
God
,
how
out
of
that
little
which
shee
had
remaining
,
some
release
of
her selfe
from
care
and
griefe
,
as
also
some
satisfaction
of
the
Creditor
might
be
wrought
;
and
indeede
that
is
the
maine
point
that
ouer-spreadeth
it selfe
in
this
Treatise
(
viz.
)
Debts
(
in
all
that
possibly
may
be
)
must
be
paide
.
To
the
speeding
whereunto
,
one
generall
point
is
to
be
obserued
vpon
the
Prophets
counselling
of
her
,
as
in
part
hath
beene
laide
downe
before
,
and
it
doth
concerne
principally
all
Ministers
,
and
as
from
them
all
other
Christians
;
the
Ministers
to
stand
vp
as
in
Gods
behalfe
,
to
minister
words
of
diuine
and
holy
comfort
to
all
Gods
afflicted
people
,
and
that
in
due
season
:
To
the
which
purpose
the
Prophet
Esay
doth
in
the
person
of
Christ
Iesus
himselfe
the
true
comforter
,
represent
them
who
are
called
to
the
Ministery
of
Gods
Word
.
The
Lord
Gods
hath
giuen
me
(
saith
he
)
a
tongue
of
the
learned
,
that
I
should
know
to
minister
a
word
in
time
to
him
that
is
weary
;
that
is
,
to
him
who
is
any
way
distressed
in
conscience
,
or
oppressed
by
affliction
and
miserie
,
and
that
so
wearyed
comes
to
me
:
and
of
this
mercy
of
God
in
Christ
,
the
Ministers
should
be
able
,
as
from
not
onely
knowledge
out
of
the
Word
of
God
,
but
vpon
experience
also
,
to
speake
comfortably
to
the
soules
of
the
people
.
The
Apostle
Paul
speaketh
to
that
purpose
,
Which
comforteth
vs
in
all
our
tribulation
,
that
wee
may
be
able
to
comfort
them
who
are
in
any
affliction
,
by
the
comfort
wherewith
we
our selues
are
comforted
of
God
;
for
as
the
sufferings
of
Christ
abound
in
vs
,
so
our
consolation
aboundeth
through
Christ
.
For
in
that
hee
suffered
and
was
tempted
,
hee
is
able
to
succour
them
that
are
tempted
.
What
comfort
also
the
people
doe
reape
from
the
Ministers
,
they
are
mutually
as
neede
requires
each
to
comfort
other
,
which
are
vnder
any
heauinesse
or
affliction
;
and
this
is
the
generall
point
to
be
obserued
vpon
the
Prophets
counsell-giuing
to
the
Widdow
:
Now
let
vs
see
the
counsell
it selfe
.
And
he
said
,
goe
borrow
thee
vessels
abroad
of
all
thy
Neighbours
,
empty
vessels
,
and
spare
not
.
4.
And
when
thou
art
come
in
,
thou
shalt
shut
the
doore
vpon
thee
,
and
vpon
thy
sonnes
,
and
poure
out
into
all
those
vessels
,
and
set
aside
those
that
are
full
.
The
generall
obseruation
in
this
counsell
of
the
Prophet
,
and
the
putting
it
in
practise
by
the
Widdow
,
is
this
:
All
persons
,
in
all
cases
of
extreamity
,
are
mutually
to
aide
and
assist
each
other
,
in
the
restoring
of
any
decayed
amongst
them
;
as
here
first
the
Prophet
in
his
counsel-giuing
,
then
Neighbours
in
their
lending
,
the
Widdow
in
her
working
,
together
by
her
sonnes
,
vpon
the
emptie
vessels
of
Oyle
,
her
sonnes
in
going
vp
and
downe
,
fetching
,
carrying
,
pouring
out
of
the
full
vessell
,
sorting
,
and
setting
aside
the
empty
from
the
full
,
to
their
right
ends
:
And
this
is
taught
by
way
of
similitude
,
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Romans
,
where
the
Apostle
speaking
of
the
Church
in
Christ
,
as
of
the
members
in
one
body
,
For
as
we
haue
many
members
in
one
body
,
and
all
members
haue
not
one
office
;
so
we
being
many
,
are
one
body
in
Christ
,
and
euery
one
anothers
members
:
and
as
one
member
in
the
naturall
body
,
according
as
it
is
in
want
and
weakenesse
,
is
to
be
respected
with
care
by
that
other
which
is
aboue
it
in
power
,
and
ability
;
so
it
ought
to
be
much
more
in
the
mysticall
body
of
Christ
Iesus
,
who
are
mutually
to
serue
one
another
in
loue
,
But
that
the
members
should
haue
the
same
care
one
for
another
(
saith
the
Apostle
:
Therefore
if
one
member
suffer
,
all
suffer
with
it
;
if
one
member
be
had
in
honour
,
all
the
members
reioyce
with
it
:
and
to
this
purpose
each
person
and
thing
,
in
Gods
prouidence
,
are
ordayned
for
the
succour
and
reliefe
of
his
Children
vnder
the
Crosse
.
Thus
God
wrought
for
Dauid
by
Ionathan
,
by
Ionathans
boy
,
and
by
the
arrowes
that
Ionathan
shot
beyond
the
marke
,
for
the
informing
of
Dauid
how
Saul
stood
affected
towards
him
,
each
person
and
thing
working
together
for
Dauids
safe
deliuery
out
of
the
malicious
hands
of
Saul
,
who
sought
his
vtter
ouerthrow
.
If
this
were
duely
obserued
by
all
,
that
none
,
no
,
not
the
mightiest
can
stand
alone
by
themselues
without
helpe
,
in
case
of
extreamity
,
it
would
make
them
more
carefull
,
and
ready
to
relieue
each
other
in
their
miseries
.
The
vse
then
that
is
to
be
made
of
this
point
is
,
vpon
the
knowledge
thereof
to
remember
our selues
how
dead
spirited
,
and
dull
we
haue
been
in
former
times
to
discharge
this
duty
,
and
thereupon
to
goe
to
God
by
,
and
in
,
prayer
,
for
the
gracious
assistance
of
his
holy
Spirit
,
thereby
to
quicken
vs
vp
vnto
a
further
and
more
compassionate
care
in
all
Christian
loue
,
to
and
for
the
good
of
others
,
for
the
time
to
come
.
Now
where
he
saith
,
Goe
,
and
borrow
thee
vessels
abroade
,
of
all
thy
Neighbours
,
empty
vessels
,
and
spare
not
;
or
not
a
few
,
but
as
many
as
thou
mayest
get
,
that
there
be
no
want
of
vessels
to
worke
into
;
The
Prophets
counsell
as
a
command
from
God
,
doth
animate
and
encourage
the
Widdow
to
vse
all
her
Neighbours
,
as
helpers
with
her
vnto
this
her
restoring
againe
:
Wherein
giue
mee
leaue
by
the
way
to
set
downe
from
the
Prophets
counselling
of
the
Widdow
,
and
the
Widdow
her
acceptance
of
his
counsell
,
and
putting
it
in
practise
,
with
the
happy
successe
of
the
same
,
this
vndoubted
truth
;
that
is
,
who
so
heares
the
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
and
Ministers
of
God
,
teaching
them
the
way
to
euerlasting
life
,
by
Iesus
Christ
alone
,
the
onely
doore
thereunto
,
and
that
by
the
written
Word
of
God
,
the
holy
Scriptures
,
so
called
,
must
so
heare
them
,
receiue
them
,
and
beleeue
them
and
their
doctrine
,
as
in
full
perswasion
of
their
hearts
that
what
they
haue
heard
,
and
doe
heare
,
is
the
very
speech
of
God
himselfe
,
as
our
Sauiour
Christ
Iesus
assureth
his
Disciples
,
when
he
saith
;
He
that
heareth
you
,
heareth
me
;
and
he
that
despiseth
you
,
despiseth
me
;
and
he
that
despiseth
me
,
despiseth
him
that
sent
me
.
The
want
then
of
such
hearers
and
thus
hearing
,
is
it
that
causes
so
little
practise
in
doing
the
will
of
God
;
for
many
,
if
not
the
most
,
doe
heare
,
but
doe
not
:
This
is
the
cause
why
Papisme
,
Athiesme
,
Turkisme
,
Heathenisme
,
yea
,
Sathanisme
,
the
fulnesse
of
all
sinne
,
(
O
woe
is
me
to
say
it
)
doth
so
fast
and
speedily
creepe
into
,
and
grow
vp
in
the
Land
,
threatning
from
day
to
day
,
as
we
grow
worse
and
worse
,
the
remouall
of
the
glorious
light
of
the
Gospel
,
which
God
forbid
,
out
of
this
our
most
glorious
,
glittering
,
and
golden
Candlesticke
of
the
Church
of
God
,
in
this
our
happy
England
.
Oh
happy
long
,
to
his
good
pleasure
,
may
it
be
,
yea
,
so
happy
,
as
that
the
glorious
light
of
the
Gospell
that
maketh
it
to
shine
so
gloriously
,
may
be
so
farre
from
euer
being
extinguished
,
as
that
it
may
be
rather
like
to
the
light
of
the
righteous
,
whereof
Salomon
speaketh
,
when
he
saith
;
The
way
of
the
righteous
shineth
,
as
the
light
,
that
shineth
more
and
more
vnto
the
perfect
day
:
so
oh
Lord
,
if
it
seeme
good
in
thine
eyes
,
let
not
this
light
of
ours
,
how
outragiously
soeuer
the
wicked
enemies
,
both
without
and
within
the
Land
,
doe
oppose
themselues
to
it
to
extinguish
it
:
let
it
not
O
Lord
,
be
euer
put
out
,
vntill
that
perfect
and
euerlasting
Sonne
of
righteousnesse
,
Christ
Iesus
himselfe
doe
come
triumphantly
in
the
cloudes
to
make
a
full
end
of
all
!
for
the
accomplishment
whereof
,
let
euery
one
that
waites
for
,
and
loues
his
appearing
,
say
with
mee
,
Come
Lord
Iesu
,
come
quickly
,
Euen
so
be
it
:
Lord
,
so
be
it
.
But
now
to
returne
to
our
Widdow
againe
.
Had
not
the
Prophets
Counsaile
wrought
in
her
,
as
the
commaund
of
God
himselfe
,
and
that
by
his
speciall
instinct
through
faith
,
and
animating
or
incouraging
of
her
,
to
the
vsing
of
her
neighbours
,
she
might
haue
beene
dishartened
at
his
Counsaile
,
in
willing
her
to
goe
to
her
neighbours
,
and
to
borrow
of
them
:
Alas
,
she
might
haue
said
to
her selfe
;
No
neighbour
will
lend
me
ought
,
they
will
be
jealous
of
me
,
that
I
should
make
it
away
;
and
because
my
debt
is
so
great
already
,
I
may
perish
before
I
get
ought
:
Nay
,
this
is
the
course
of
the
World
,
they
will
answer
negatiuely
,
and
by
way
of
preuention
;
they
will
discourage
me
from
asking
,
before
euer
I
aske
:
But
if
I
doe
aske
,
they
haue
their
Answere
ready
:
Nay
truely
,
I
cannot
lend
,
I
haue
sworne
to
the
contrary
,
I
haue
bound
my selfe
in
bonds
,
I
haue
promised
all
my
friends
,
not
to
lend
:
So
farre
are
men
from
the
true
knowledge
of
walking
in
that
golden
meane
,
betweene
two
extreames
:
Or
else
they
will
(
not
with
the
Prophets
minde
,
but
for
their
owne
gaine
)
aske
of
me
,
what
I
haue
,
if
I
haue
a
faire
pawne
,
a
pledge
,
or
a
suretie
,
perhaps
somewhat
may
be
had
:
or
if
I
haue
any
thing
to
sell
out-right
,
they
will
then
try
their
friend
to
buy
it
,
if
they
may
haue
a
penniworth
,
or
if
I
will
vse
reason
:
Now
this
reason
,
vpon
extremity
,
you
must
vnderstand
is
as
much
as
little
or
nothing
:
For
it
is
commonly
held
,
that
those
goods
of
the
decayed
,
though
as
good
as
the
Rich
mans
euery
way
for
value
,
and
price
,
yet
being
in
a
ruinated
,
decayed
,
and
a
poore
broken
mans
hands
,
is
worth
some
fourth
part
or
lesse
perhaps
:
This
is
the
fashion
of
the
World
,
whereunto
euery
man
fashioneth
himselfe
;
that
is
,
rather
to
keepe
him
downe
,
that
is
downe
;
or
,
if
not
downe
,
but
going
in
the
way
,
to
beat
him
downe
altogether
,
rather
then
to
helpe
to
raise
him
vp
againe
.
This
is
one
discouragement
,
that
might
haue
staied
this
Widdow
,
(
especially
had
she
liued
in
this
Iron
or
steely
age
of
ours
)
from
following
the
good
Prophets
Counsaile
:
Another
stay
,
(
arising
also
from
the
frailty
of
an
vnbeleeuing
heart
)
had
not
God
wrought
faith
in
her
,
might
haue
stopped
her
course
of
being
contented
to
be
directed
by
the
Prophet
(
as
thus
:
)
Alas
,
might
she
haue
said
,
what
should
I
doe
thus
troubling
so
many
of
my
neighbours
,
in
borrowing
so
many
empty
vessels
?
Why
,
what
good
will
emptie
vessels
doe
mee
?
mine
owne
poore
pitcher
of
Oyle
is
not
able
to
fill
it selfe
,
how
then
shall
it
be
able
to
fill
any
one
other
,
much
lesse
so
many
as
may
amount
to
the
price
or
value
of
my
debt
?
Vnfaithfulnes
,
or
distrust
in
God
,
is
able
to
discourage
flesh
&
bloud
from
vsing
meanes
seeming
vnlikely
to
mans
conceit
;
yea
,
it
hath
bred
great
doubtfulnesse
in
the
very
deare
children
of
God
;
yea
,
so
far
it
hath
preuailed
,
as
that
they
haue
expostulated
the
matter
with
Gods
messengers
,
as
in
a
thing
not
possibly
to
be
effected
:
Iohn
Baptist
,
where
he
reasons
with
the
Angel
thus
:
Then
said
Zacharias
to
the
Angell
,
Whereby
shall
I
know
this
,
for
I
am
an
olde
man
,
and
my
wife
is
of
great
age
?
Likewise
the
blessed
Virgin
Marie
,
vpon
the
salutation
of
the
Angel
,
conceiue
,
and
beare
a
sonne
;
How
shall
this
be
(
saith
shee
)
seeing
I
know
not
man
?
This
troubled
the
blessed
Virgin
greatly
,
as
is
set
downe
in
the
29.
Verse
;
so
as
after
shee
had
heard
the
saluation
of
the
Angel
,
as
is
written
,
she
said
thus
:
And
when
shee
saw
him
,
she
was
troubled
at
his
saying
,
and
thought
what
manner
of
Salutation
this
should
be
:
So
that
wee
see
,
where
faith
in
God
is
not
fully
setled
(
as
in
a
continuall
groath
it
must
be
in
vs
during
life
)
by
many
turbulent
distractions
,
vnbeliefe
wil
breake
out
,
and
cause
many
times
a
yeelding
to
doe
that
which
may
be
very
ill
for
vs
,
and
a
leauing
off
to
doe
what
otherwise
may
be
and
is
warrantable
for
vs
to
doe
,
the
doing
whereof
may
turne
to
our
great
good
;
the
not
doing
,
to
our
greater
hurt
.
Indeed
this
increase
of
Oyle
,
as
out
of
it selfe
without
further
meanes
,
by
the
power
of
God
in
the
ministry
of
Elizha
,
was
miraculous
,
and
may
seeme
incredible
,
wherein
if
I
should
take
occasion
to
speake
of
miracles
,
how
they
were
then
,
and
afterwards
vnder
the
dayes
of
the
Gospel
,
and
to
what
end
they
tended
,
and
vnto
what
time
they
were
limited
;
If
also
I
should
speake
of
the
abuse
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
in
that
poynt
of
miraculous
working
(
a
meere
illusion
to
deceiue
the
people
by
,
)
I
should
not
take
my selfe
vp
in
any
good
time
;
yet
thus
farre
to
say
,
because
they
onely
are
the
miracle-mongers
,
we
seeke
not
to
take
the
credit
of
working
miracles
out
of
their
hands
.
If
counterfaited
signes
,
and
lying
wonders
,
by
the
working
of
Sathan
,
with
all
power
to
deceiue
by
,
(
which
they
arrogate
to
themselues
)
and
that
among
them
that
perish
,
spoken
off
by
the
Apostle
Paul
,
as
purposely
to
set
forth
in
some
of
his
colours
their
Antichrist
,
be
miracles
,
I
yeeld
it
to
them
:
For
wee
of
the
Gospels
profession
,
doe
not
require
any
iuggling
,
or
apish
trickes
,
to
bleare
our
peoples
eyes
withall
;
we
hold
them
close
to
the
holy
and
onely
Word
of
truth
,
for
the
working
of
faith
in
them
,
and
that
by
the
preaching
of
the
same
,
as
the
Apostle
Paul
saith
:
Receiued
you
the
Spirit
,
by
the
workes
of
the
Law
,
or
by
the
hearing
of
Faith
preached
?
A
time
there
was
,
when
before
the
whole
truth
of
Gods
Word
,
in
the
holy
Scriptures
,
was
come
in
,
and
digested
into
those
two
Testaments
,
the
Old
and
the
New
,
as
they
now
are
,
and
so
haue
beene
miraculously
preserued
,
through
the
dangers
of
many
ages
,
and
reserued
to
the
Churches
perpetuall
vse
,
as
also
,
propounded
to
the
view
of
the
whole
World
,
to
the
end
that
the
preachings
of
the
Prophets
,
as
also
,
the
Doctrine
of
our
Sauiour
Christ
himselfe
,
and
of
his
Apostles
,
might
be
the
more
beleeued
and
rested
vpon
,
as
the
very
truth
of
God
himselfe
,
they
had
power
to
worke
miramircales
,
as
this
Prophet
three
times
in
this
Chapter
did
,
besides
this
in
hand
,
thereby
to
testifie
to
the
people
,
that
he
was
the
true
Prophet
of
God
.
Concerning
the
which
point
,
the
Prophet
Eliah
vpon
the
triall
of
the
true
worship
of
God
,
and
the
idolatrous
worship
of
Baal
,
betweene
him
and
those
foure
hundred
and
fiftie
false
Prophets
,
doth
ratifie
and
confirme
both
himselfe
,
and
his
religion
,
and
his
Doctrine
,
to
be
of
God
,
and
from
Heauen
,
by
hauing
power
from
that
God
of
heauen
and
earth
,
to
commaund
the
fire
to
descend
from
heauen
to
consume
the
sacrifice
,
36
Let
it
be
knowne
this
day
that
thou
art
the
God
of
Israel
,
and
that
I
am
thy
seruant
,
and
that
I
haue
done
all
these
things
at
thy
commandement
.
37.
Heare
mee
,
O
Lord
,
heare
mee
,
and
let
this
people
know
that
thou
art
the
Lord
God
,
and
that
thou
hast
turned
their
heart
againe
at
the
last
.
By
which
it
may
appeare
also
,
that
miracles
were
not
to
be
done
at
the
pleasure
of
man
,
but
at
the
will
and
pleasure
of
God
:
Of
which
miracles
,
wee
reade
there
are
two
kindes
;
one
pure
,
and
the
other
mixt
,
as
one
writeth
very
learnedly
of
them
:
The
pure
,
are
they
which
without
meanes
or
creatures
,
God
worketh
alone
:
he
calleth
them
mixt
,
where
God
by
the
ministry
of
any
of
his
seruants
,
doth
worke
strangely
,
in
and
by
creatures
,
as
in
stretching
out
beyond
nature
their
vigor
or
strength
,
in
causing
them
extraordinarily
to
increase
,
to
the
seruing
of
his
will
at
an
instant
,
for
the
good
of
any
of
his
people
.
The
like
did
our
Sauiour
Christ
himselfe
,
in
that
kinde
of
pure
and
simple
miracles
,
when
by
his
Word
alone
hee
commaunded
the
Deuils
,
and
diseases
;
In
the
name
of
Iesus
Christ
of
Nazaret
,
rise
vp
,
and
walke
.
But
in
speaking
vpon
the
counsaile
of
the
Prophet
giuen
to
the
Widdow
,
in
these
words
:
Goe
,
borrow
thee
vessels
abroad
;
and
if
it
shall
be
further
asked
by
what
warrant
the
Prophet
did
this
,
to
commaund
,
as
in
the
name
of
God
,
and
to
assure
the
Widdow
of
these
vnlikelihoods
;
first
,
to
borrow
of
her
Neighbours
,
&c.
and
then
,
how
that
one
full
vessell
of
Oyle
should
hold
out
to
fill
those
other
emptie
Vessels
that
were
borrowed
.
The
answere
is
made
by
the
Prophet
himselfe
,
in
the
43.
Verse
of
this
Chapter
,
where
the
Prophets
Seruant
,
questioning
with
his
Master
about
the
twentie
Loaues
to
be
distributed
to
an
hundred
men
,
as
if
they
were
vnlikely
to
suffice
so
many
:
The
Prophet
replies
againe
vpon
him
with
a
second
commaund
:
Giue
vnto
the
people
,
that
they
may
eate
:
For
(
saith
Elisha
)
thus
saith
the
Lord
,
They
shall
eate
,
and
there
shall
remaine
:
So
that
(
thus
saith
the
Lord
)
is
the
Prophets
warrant
:
and
that
beyond
Gods
Word
he
went
not
,
the
sequell
of
the
successe
doth
manifestly
declare
,
he
not
being
able
any
way
to
performe
so
strange
a
worke
,
to
the
comfort
of
this
Widdow
,
in
her
sonnes
,
and
the
satisfying
of
the
Creditor
,
had
not
God
himselfe
graced
him
with
his
owne
power
,
and
as
it
were
stouped
downe
to
worke
together
with
him
.
Mightie
then
is
this
word
of
God
,
where
God
himselfe
inforceth
it
by
his
Spirit
,
yea
,
mightily
it
preuaileth
both
in
that
executing
his
iudgements
in
iustice
vpon
the
wicked
contemners
of
his
seruants
,
as
in
that
where
Eliah
called
for
fire
vpon
the
two
captaines
of
the
fifties
,
Yea
,
but
I
heare
some
say
me
thinkes
,
Tush
,
the
ministry
of
men
vnder
the
Gospell
,
is
weake
enough
,
there
is
none
of
them
all
can
doe
any
such
strange
worke
,
we
need
not
feare
;
their
big
thunder-bolts
are
but
crackes
:
But
the
reason
of
their
so
blasphemous
speeches
,
in
their
carelesse
regard
to
feare
God
,
is
because
God
meeteth
not
with
them
in
their
present
sinning
,
as
he
did
with
Zimri
and
Cozbi
,
euen
in
the
committing
,
of
fornication
together
(
by
the
hands
of
Phinehas
hee
slew
them
both
)
in
their
Tents
,
as
is
written
in
the
Booke
of
Number
,
25.
9.
They
presumptuously
thinke
,
and
say
in
their
hearts
,
there
is
no
God
,
no
Deuill
,
no
Heauen
,
no
Hell
,
they
be
but
tales
that
our
Preachers
doe
tell
vs
:
But
of
these
like
persons
,
the
Apostle
Peter
prophesieth
,
that
there
shall
come
in
the
last
dayes
,
mockers
,
who
will
walke
after
their
lusts
,
and
say
,
Where
is
the
promise
of
his
comming
?
&c.
Thus
the
Deuill
is
very
busie
to
with-draw
mens
mindes
,
yea
let
euery
one
obserue
it
;
the
more
the
ministerie
of
the
Gospel
increaseth
,
the
more
he
rageth
,
by
causing
men
to
seeke
after
that
that
is
not
necessary
,
and
to
leaue
vnsought
after
that
which
maketh
most
for
the
saluation
of
soule
and
body
eternally
:
For
Sathan
hath
his
instruments
in
euery
place
,
who
labour
to
obscure
in
what
they
may
,
and
to
make
inglorious
the
eternall
Word
of
our
immortall
,
inuisible
,
and
onely
wise
God
,
in
the
holy
ministery
of
the
Gospell
,
which
presages
,
and
that
truly
,
that
he
feares
that
his
time
is
not
long
,
but
that
he
is
neere
,
and
very
neere
,
to
his
vtter
and
finall
casting
out
.
Let
them
therefore
know
,
and
that
speedily
,
and
let
them
assure
themselues
,
that
the
Word
of
God
is
no
lesse
effectuall
now
,
neither
is
his
arme
any
whit
more
shortened
in
the
powerfull
Gospell
of
his
Sonne
Christ
Iesus
,
although
it
appeare
so
to
be
to
the
wicked
world
:
Onely
this
is
the
difference
,
the
iudgements
of
God
,
(
for
I
speake
now
to
them
onely
that
make
a
mocke
of
God
)
doe
not
to
them
appeare
so
great
and
heauy
,
because
he
comes
not
so
immediately
and
presently
vpon
their
seueral
wickednesses
committing
to
execute
those
his
iudgements
;
yea
,
he
seemes
to
them
to
haue
forgotten
to
bee
iust
;
but
let
them
know
,
that
not
one
iot
,
or
tittle
of
Gods
word
shall
fall
to
the
ground
;
for
whatsoeuer
wants
in
the
execution
of
these
his
punishments
for
the
present
,
shall
be
doubtlesse
doubled
,
and
redoubled
,
according
to
the
delay
and
putting
off
the
same
:
so
that
when
he
doth
or
shall
strike
indeede
,
his
hand
shall
fall
so
heauily
,
hauing
beene
long
in
lifting
of
it
vp
,
and
when
he
beginnes
to
lift
it
vp
,
he
will
lift
his
rod
so
high
,
to
the
fetching
of
a
greater
stroke
,
that
he
will
make
the
proudest
Ruffian
of
them
all
like
to
a
Potters
vessell
,
which
he
will
so
breake
to
shiuers
,
that
there
shall
not
be
found
any
one
sheard
to
carrie
fire
in
.
Thou
shalt
crush
them
(
saith
Dauid
the
Prophet
)
with
a
Scepter
of
yron
,
and
breake
them
in
pieces
like
a
Potters
vessell
.
But
what
matters
it
to
answer
the
prophane
minded
,
vtterly
answerlesse
?
Let
so
many
then
as
are
contented
to
stoope
downe
to
the
holy
Word
of
God
,
in
the
Ministery
of
men
,
and
to
learne
thereby
soberly
to
be
wise
,
know
of
a
surety
,
that
howsoeuer
God
did
limit
the
times
and
seasons
past
,
wherein
those
persons
whom
he
had
also
more
specially
giuen
power
vnto
,
as
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
to
worke
strangely
in
and
about
the
things
of
this
life
,
for
the
confirmation
of
that
Doctrine
which
they
brought
vnto
the
World
,
whereof
men
being
more
earthly
minded
,
did
also
take
a
greater
view
,
then
thereby
to
be
ledde
to
the
apprehension
of
the
truth
in
Christ
Iesus
,
for
euerlasting
life
;
yet
is
not
the
power
of
God
in
his
Word
any
whit
abated
the
more
now
,
but
rather
aduanced
to
a
further
and
a
more
eminent
working
in
,
and
about
,
the
turning
of
mens
hearts
from
gazing
or
looking
vpon
the
things
of
this
life
,
vnto
the
longing
,
lusting
,
and
thirsting
after
the
righteousnesse
of
God
in
Christ
Iesus
,
to
their
euerlasting
comfort
in
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
.
And
yet
giue
mee
leaue
,
his
care
is
no
lesse
for
vs
now
,
(
if
we
feare
him
)
then
it
was
in
former
times
,
and
according
to
his
care
ouer
vs
,
so
his
power
and
will
,
yea
,
in
prouiding
for
vs
in
our
wants
;
indeede
we
are
blinde
and
see
it
not
,
because
wee
doe
not
continually
referre
our selues
in
the
things
we
haue
,
or
in
the
things
whereby
hee
hath
relieued
vs
beyond
expectation
in
our
distresses
;
we
doe
not
,
I
say
,
referre
our selues
to
Gods
prouidence
,
for
the
beholding
of
it
as
we
ought
:
for
truly
howsoeuer
he
doe
not
encrease
our
Pitcher
of
Oyle
so
miraculously
as
we
see
here
he
did
to
the
poore
indebted
Widdow
,
and
in
that
manner
,
yet
when
he
worketh
mens
hearts
towards
thee
,
for
thy
reliefe
,
yea
,
to
make
thine
aduersaries
thy
friends
,
is
it
not
worth
the
obseruation
?
He
is
the
same
God
to
vs
that
he
was
in
Iobs
dayes
,
who
speaking
of
the
wicked
,
Though
he
should
heape
vp
siluer
as
the
dust
,
and
prepare
rayment
as
the
clay
;
he
may
prepare
it
,
but
the
iust
shall
put
it
on
,
and
the
innocent
shall
diuide
the
siluer
:
The
riches
of
the
sinner
is
laid
vp
for
the
iust
:
and
this
he
hath
done
,
and
doth
daily
performe
,
onely
our
vnbeliefe
,
our
vnthankfulnesse
,
our
deadnesse
of
faith
,
keepes
vs
from
seeing
it
,
to
our
shames
.
But
to
end
this
point
ordinarily
,
the
worke
of
the
Ministery
of
the
Gospell
,
is
a
greater
worke
then
healing
,
or
curing
the
bodily
diseases
of
men
,
by
speaking
the
word
,
whither
from
Peter
,
or
from
Paul
,
or
by
whomsoeuer
,
although
it
be
indeed
miraculous
;
yea
,
as
much
as
the
soule
is
beyond
the
body
in
excellency
,
by
so
much
is
the
holy
worke
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
,
conuersant
wholly
in
the
restoring
of
the
dead
soules
of
men
from
death
to
life
,
more
excellent
;
for
loe
,
now
the
dead
soules
of
men
and
women
,
that
haue
long
slept
in
sinne
,
and
haue
beene
dead
,
as
doubtlesse
all
are
vntill
by
the
power
of
the
Word
of
God
,
they
haue
life
put
into
them
,
euen
the
life
of
the
Spirit
,
whereof
Paul
speaketh
,
when
he
saith
:
Thus
I
liue
,
yet
not
I
now
,
but
Christ
liueth
in
me
;
and
in
that
I
now
liue
in
the
flesh
,
I
liue
by
the
faith
in
the
Sonne
of
God
,
who
hath
loued
me
,
and
giuen
himselfe
for
me
.
Of
this
life
speakes
our
Sauiour
himselfe
:
Verily
verily
,
I
say
vnto
you
,
the
houre
shall
come
,
and
now
is
,
when
the
dead
shall
heare
the
voyce
of
the
Sonne
of
God
,
and
they
that
heare
it
,
shall
liue
.
The
Vse
to
be
made
of
these
last
and
former
doctrines
,
is
this
,
that
whensoeuer
the
word
of
Faith
hath
entred
the
possession
of
Iesus
Christ
into
our
soules
,
whensoeuer
you
thinke
of
him
,
meditate
vpon
him
,
seeke
him
in
your
prayers
,
follow
after
him
in
the
publike
preachings
of
that
his
most
glorious
&
comfortable
Gospel
,
be
sure
so
to
think
of
him
as
of
your
Sauiour
and
deliuerer
,
not
from
bodi●l
sicknesses
,
or
other
perills
or
dangers
of
this
life
,
but
as
he
is
indeed
,
by
God
his
father
,
appointed
to
saue
thee
,
and
deliuer
thee
from
hell
,
death
,
and
eternall
condemnation
,
as
a
Sauiour
of
thee
from
thy
sinnes
,
and
a
deliuerer
of
thee
from
those
miseries
whereinto
thou
hast
ouer-plunged
thy selfe
in
soule
and
body
by
thy
sinne
:
as
Paul
the
Apostle
teacheth
thee
in
these
words
,
concerning
Christ
lesus
,
and
the
working
by
the
Gospel
in
all
those
that
beleeue
,
hath
abolished
death
,
and
hath
brought
life
,
and
immortality
vnto
light
,
through
the
Gospell
.
Iesus
Christ
came
into
the
World
to
saue
sinners
,
of
whom
I
am
chiefe
.
Let
the
thought
of
his
very
name
be
comfortable
to
thee
,
from
the
remembrance
of
his
being
first
named
by
the
Angel
at
his
entrance
into
the
World
,
And
thou
shalt
call
his
name
Iesus
,
for
hee
shall
saue
his
people
from
their
sinnes
.
Finally
,
thinke
and
meditate
vpon
him
,
as
vpon
an
heauenly
,
not
an
earthly
King
;
hee
is
come
for
thy
good
euery
way
,
but
especially
to
deliuer
thee
,
so
as
that
after
the
fulnesse
of
thy
deliuerance
,
thou
mightest
neuer
be
in
danger
after
;
his
deliuerance
being
spirituall
,
not
corporall
,
heauenly
not
earthly
,
as
he
is
further
described
,
where
it
is
said
:
First
vnto
you
(
meaning
the
Iewes
)
hath
God
raised
vp
his
Sonne
Iesus
,
and
him
he
hath
sent
to
blesse
you
,
in
turning
euery
one
of
you
from
your
iniquities
.
Seeke
then
to
him
,
as
to
one
in
whom
you
are
begotten
againe
,
and
in
him
cast
as
in
a
new
mould
,
to
become
new
creatures
,
Blessed
be
God
,
the
father
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
which
,
according
to
his
abundant
mercie
,
hath
begotten
vs
againe
vnto
a
liuely
hope
,
by
the
resurrection
of
Iesus
Christ
from
the
dead
,
to
an
inheritance
immortall
,
vndefiled
,
and
that
fadeth
not
away
,
&c.
For
to
this
end
is
his
comming
into
the
world
:
first
,
to
take
the
burthen
of
thy
sinne
,
lying
heauie
vpon
thee
,
vpon
himselfe
:
secondly
,
to
discharge
thee
from
the
guilt
of
sinne
:
thirdly
,
to
take
away
the
power
and
strength
of
sin
,
that
after
once
thou
art
a
true
member
of
that
his
body
the
Church
,
whereof
he
is
Head
,
Now
it
followeth
in
the
Text.
5.
So
shee
departed
from
him
,
and
shut
the
doore
vpon
her
two
sonnes
,
and
they
brought
to
her
,
and
she
poured
out
.
6.
And
when
the
vessels
were
full
,
shee
said
vnto
her
sonne
,
bring
yet
a
Vessell
;
and
he
said
vnto
her
,
There
are
no
more
Vessels
:
And
the
Oyle
ceased
.
Now
we
are
come
to
the
third
point
,
which
is
,
(
the
issue
of
the
meanes
,
consisting
vpon
the
words
or
command
of
the
Prophet
,
in
the
obedience
of
the
Widdow
.
)
This
issue
of
the
meanes
beeing
two-fold
,
the
increase
of
the
Oyle
,
and
the
paying
of
the
debt
;
from
that
the
obedience
of
the
Widdow
in
these
words
:
So
she
departed
from
him
,
and
shut
the
doore
,
&c.
As
the
words
lye
in
the
Text
,
they
all
are
liuelily
described
,
the
mother
,
and
her
two
sonnes
,
to
settle
themselues
to
their
businesse
;
her
sons
they
bring
,
the
mother
she
powers
o●●
,
no
hand
at
all
idle
amongst
them
.
Whence
I
gather
for
instruction
,
from
the
Womans
example
,
this
;
that
shee
in
finding
out
the
readinesse
of
her
Neighbours
to
helpe
her
with
those
emptie
Vessels
which
she
borrowed
of
them
,
is
heartened
on
cheerefully
to
proceed
in
her
labours
,
and
that
without
delay
,
assuring
her selfe
that
God
,
who
had
begun
so
fauourably
with
her
,
would
not
giue
ouer
vntill
he
had
performed
what
he
had
set
her
about
,
not
doubting
but
that
the
Prophets
Counsaile
was
as
the
Lords
owne
commaundement
,
and
the
commaund
of
the
Lord
,
as
the
deed
done
.
We
then
,
from
her
,
being
thus
aduised
by
the
Prophet
,
and
so
resolutely
and
readily
putting
his
Counsaile
in
execution
,
wee
are
taught
in
all
our
honest
and
necessary
affaires
to
doe
the
like
,
and
after
mature
,
holy
,
and
deliberate
Counsaile
taken
,
not
to
delay
to
performe
what
wee
haue
well
aduised
vpon
,
for
delayes
often
proue
dangerous
.
Salomon
in
those
words
,
(
Establish
thoughts
by
counsaile
)
doth
teach
indeed
this
,
to
be
well
aduised
vpon
mens
thoughts
first
,
before
they
be
set
on
foot
,
but
after
once
counsaile
is
aduisedly
taken
,
then
to
settle
,
stablish
,
and
to
execute
,
not
giuing
ouer
vntill
wee
haue
attained
the
end
of
our
first
well-aduised
purposes
.
Well
(
said
he
)
whosoeuer
he
was
,
That
as
an
vnconstant
,
changeable
,
and
wauering
minded
man
,
is
vnfit
for
societie
,
because
there
is
neither
assurance
of
his
words
,
nor
of
his
purposes
:
so
he
makes
himselfe
ridiculous
to
the
world
,
in
enterprising
that
,
to
his
ouer-great
losse
,
which
hee
neuer
brings
to
any
good
end
:
whereas
the
end
of
a
thing
is
said
to
be
better
then
the
beginning
.
Vpon
the
which
poynt
,
our
Sauiour
doth
seuerely
tax
all
those
that
vndertake
the
profession
of
the
Gospel
,
and
giue
ouer
in
the
mid-way
:
The
Vse
that
we
must
make
of
this
Doctrine
,
arising
from
the
Widdowes
resolution
,
is
to
examine
our selues
,
concerning
the
ill
successes
wee
haue
had
in
our
former
businesse
,
and
whence
they
haue
arisen
(
dealing
soundly
with
our selues
,
)
and
then
if
we
finde
that
either
they
haue
come
from
a
rash
,
heady
,
and
vndiscreet
proceeding
,
without
counsaile-taking
,
or
else
from
an
vnstable
,
wauering
,
and
a
cowardly
minde
,
that
yet
durst
not
resolue
vpon
good
counsaile
had
;
let
vs
then
proceede
with
our selues
,
according
to
the
finding
out
of
our
errours
,
to
repaire
to
him
who
is
able
to
repaire
in
vs
all
our
decayes
,
and
will
at
his
pleasure
;
(
if
once
we
can
assure
our selues
,
and
make
good
to
our
soules
that
we
are
his
children
,
to
whom
all
the
promises
of
God
in
Christ
Iesus
do
appertaine
)
let
vs
then
without
delay
,
goe
to
him
,
and
aske
a
greater
measure
of
wisdome
for
the
going
on
in
our
businesse
,
then
before
time
we
had
.
The
Apostle
Iames
teacheth
so
to
doe
:
If
any
of
you
lacke
wisdome
,
let
him
aske
of
God
,
which
giueth
to
all
men
liberally
,
and
reproacheth
no
man
,
and
it
shall
be
giuen
him
.
a
wise
and
an
vnderstanding
heart
,
and
had
it
graunted
him
,
with
riches
,
and
honour
,
beyond
all
that
were
before
him
.
Let
vs
also
craue
a
stable
and
a
setled
heart
for
execution
,
after
that
by
good
aduice
we
haue
attained
vnto
resolution
:
let
vs
doe
this
with
Dauid
,
seeing
also
all
that
we
doe
is
euill
,
and
cannot
but
be
so
where
the
heart
is
euill
,
that
is
,
let
vs
goe
to
God
,
and
say
with
him
;
Create
in
me
a
cleane
heart
,
and
renew
a
right
spirit
within
me
:
and
againe
,
stablish
me
with
a
free
spirit
.
There
is
further
from
the
obedience
of
this
Widdow
,
in
setling
her
se
fe
and
her
sonnes
so
readily
and
vpon
the
instant
to
labour
,
a
good
lesson
to
be
learned
by
all
Fathers
and
Mothers
,
to
bring
vp
their
Children
as
in
all
good
knowledge
,
and
nurture
;
so
from
the
very
Cradle
to
acquaint
them
with
,
and
accustome
them
vnto
all
good
and
honest
labour
and
trauell
:
and
this
to
doe
,
for
the
anoyding
of
idlenesse
,
because
in
doing
nothing
(
as
one
saith
)
we
learne
for
the
most
part
to
doe
euill
,
and
to
be
idle
is
very
dangerous
,
especially
to
youth
.
Therefore
Salomon
in
his
Prouerbs
giueth
a
good
precept
to
all
Fathers
and
Tutors
ouer
children
&
young
folkes
:
Teach
a
Child
in
the
trade
of
his
way
,
and
when
he
is
old
,
he
shall
not
depart
from
it
.
It
is
a
fit
lesson
to
be
renewed
in
this
age
,
and
vpon
our
people
,
because
many
walke
as
if
they
were
priuiledged
to
liue
out
of
any
calling
at
all
,
and
so
to
liue
as
no
way
helpfull
,
but
hurtfull
both
to
the
Church
and
Common-wealth
;
they
thinke
they
may
doe
it
in
all
licentious
idlenesse
,
inordinately
,
without
the
check
of
the
Magistrate
.
Against
this
idlenesse
,
oppose
this
Law
of
God
set
to
Adam
after
his
fall
:
In
the
sweate
of
thy
face
thou
shalt
eate
thy
bread
,
till
thou
returne
to
earth
:
Not
that
Adam
was
before
idle
,
or
wrought
not
at
all
,
but
that
the
labour
he
tooke
after
that
he
had
broken
Gods
Commandement
,
was
not
without
wearisome
tediousnesse
,
whereof
before
he
was
free
.
To
liue
idle
,
and
in
no
good
,
set
,
certaine
,
and
lawfull
calling
;
the
Apostle
Paul
calleth
it
an
inordinate
,
We
heare
that
there
are
among
you
some
(
saith
he
)
who
walke
inordinately
,
and
worke
not
at
all
,
but
are
busie-bodies
.
This
great
sinne
of
the
Land
,
as
it
is
seuerely
to
be
met
withall
,
by
the
continuall
teaching
and
sharpe
reprehension
of
the
Ministers
,
so
in
no
wise
to
be
permitted
in
the
Houses
of
our
Church-Gouernours
,
who
by
occasion
of
their
large
and
spacious
mansions
,
and
their
many
businesses
,
by
reason
of
their
wide
circuites
,
are
to
retaine
and
intertaine
many
followers
,
and
therefore
to
take
heede
,
may
I
be
bold
to
speake
,
(
Bona
cum
venia
)
that
not
one
be
towards
them
,
whom
they
may
not
,
or
doe
not
applie
to
some
ordinary
businesses
in
their
places
;
not
fostering
this
sinne
of
idlenesse
within
their
walles
:
and
howsoeuer
the
common
desire
of
those
who
will
be
towards
them
in
seruice
is
,
that
they
may
liue
at
ease
,
or
idlely
;
considering
that
the
holy
Apostle
Paul
,
enforming
Timothy
concerning
a
Bishop
,
watchfull
himselfe
in
his
place
,
as
also
one
that
loueth
goodnesse
,
hauing
faithfull
children
,
which
are
not
slandered
of
riot
,
neither
are
disobedient
:
much
more
is
he
,
yea
,
with
a
more
straight
eye
,
to
see
that
none
about
him
,
as
a
seruant
,
be
without
his
place
of
employment
,
and
that
to
good
purpose
.
It
was
one
of
the
sinnes
that
Ezechiel
reporteth
to
haue
beene
the
great
sinne
of
Sodome
,
fore-running
the
destruction
thereof
;
and
this
hee
doth
,
thereby
to
take
vp
roundly
the
people
of
Israel
and
Iudah
,
affirming
that
the
sinnes
of
Sodome
were
not
greater
then
their
sinnes
:
this
was
the
iniquity
of
thy
Sister
Sodome
▪
pride
,
fulnesse
of
bread
,
and
abundance
of
idlenesse
,
was
in
her
,
and
in
her
daughters
:
neither
did
shee
strengthen
the
hands
of
the
poore
and
needy
,
&c.
But
when
this
sinne
shall
grow
vp
(
notwithstanding
the
teaching
of
the
Ministers
,
and
the
care
of
Church-Gouernours
,
inasmuch
as
in
them
lyeth
;
)
The
ciuill
Magistrate
is
then
to
step
in
,
euen
from
him
that
is
in
the
highest
and
most
honourable
place
of
all
,
vnto
him
who
is
the
most
inferiour
in
respect
of
gouernment
,
according
to
the
Lawes
prouided
in
that
case
,
for
the
remedying
of
this
sinne
,
as
also
for
the
prouiding
reliefe
for
the
poore
,
to
see
that
execution
without
intermission
of
those
Statutes
be
had
;
and
not
to
spare
to
punish
the
idle
and
vnprofitable
person
within
his
or
their
libertie
or
liberties
;
and
beyond
all
,
first
,
to
prouide
that
themselues
be
watchfull
,
diligent
,
and
carefull
in
their
owne
places
of
gouernment
,
as
also
ouer
those
who
are
within
their
roofes
,
because
themselues
are
exemplary
presidents
,
and
as
high
Beacons
set
vpon
the
toppes
of
the
highest
places
of
aduantage
,
to
giue
warning
by
to
the
Countrey
,
of
any
danger
present
,
or
neare
it
is
lamentable
to
see
and
heare
the
inordinate
and
more
then
Sodomitish
behauiour
of
those
persons
and
seruants
in
Noble
and
great
mens
Houses
,
who
for
want
of
employment
,
being
idle
,
yea
,
very
babes
new
out
of
the
shell
,
doe
exceede
in
all
manner
of
impiety
and
abomination
;
such
as
I
am
ashamed
once
to
name
:
Let
it
suffice
in
a
word
,
onely
this
as
a
watch
word
(
giue
me
leaue
to
set
downe
to
the
view
of
all
great
ones
;
)
Consider
I
beseech
you
,
consider
how
your
Houses
are
receptacles
of
the
sonnes
and
daughters
of
many
Families
in
your
Countries
,
who
desire
to
liue
vnder
your
seruice
,
and
that
many
Fathers
and
Mothers
doe
make
great
suite
that
their
Children
may
be
your
attendants
and
seruants
,
perhaps
they
looke
no
further
then
that
they
may
in
time
get
somewhat
vnder
you
to
liue
vpon
;
but
to
liue
honestly
,
soberly
,
and
religiously
,
perhaps
they
neuer
looke
after
;
yet
how
carelesse
soeuer
they
haue
beene
,
in
you
must
(
and
God
requireth
it
at
your
hands
)
O
ye
noble
persons
,
whose
greatest
honour
it
is
,
and
ought
to
be
to
feare
God
,
with
your
whole
Families
;
you
must
see
(
I
say
)
that
all
within
your
walles
,
without
exception
,
euen
all
your
sons
,
your
daughters
,
your
men-seruants
your
maid-seruants
,
euery
one
of
them
so
to
bestow
themselues
vnder
your
gouernements
,
as
that
according
to
their
places
aboue
and
vnder
each
other
,
they
may
be
fitted
to
the
Church
or
Common-wealthes
vses
,
as
God
shall
see
it
good
for
them
,
to
the
seruice
of
the
Age
succeeding
:
If
otherwise
there
be
any
that
will
not
fall
to
some
businesse
or
other
,
but
liue
of
the
sweate
of
other
mens
labours
,
then
doe
as
the
profitable
and
most
laborious
Bees
in
their
Common-wealth
doe
;
let
euery
one
as
he
is
in
place
,
take
those
idle
luskes
and
slothfull
droanes
,
within
his
limits
,
and
cast
them
out
as
not
meete
for
the
society
of
men
.
For
thus
are
the
Bees
said
to
doe
,
Ignauum
fucos
pecus
a
praesepibus
arcent
;
They
take
the
droanes
,
and
ioyntly
they
hurle
them
out
of
their
Hiues
:
Much
like
as
we
vse
to
doe
with
our
vagrant
rogues
,
whip
them
out
at
a
Carts
arse
to
the
Townes
end
,
and
so
let
them
goe
.
But
to
this
Widdow
,
in
her
employment
,
let
me
returne
.
Shee
seeing
her
owne
present
misery
,
and
the
miseries
of
her
two
sonnes
,
whereinto
they
were
likely
to
fall
,
on
the
one
side
;
as
also
that
God
had
offered
her
so
great
hope
,
first
,
by
the
Prophets
aduising
of
her
,
and
then
by
the
successe
in
her
neighbours
ioyning
with
her
willingly
,
euery
one
to
helpe
her
by
the
loane
of
their
empty
caske
of
vessels
,
tending
to
all
their
goods
;
on
the
other
side
,
she
loses
no
time
,
shee
spares
no
labour
,
her
sonnes
in
like
manner
as
ready
at
hand
,
it
being
euery
one
of
their
cases
,
they
shake
off
idlenesse
,
and
giue
not
ouer
their
worke
,
vntill
they
had
attained
the
thing
they
laboured
for
.
But
because
all
Scripture
is
written
for
vs
,
euen
for
vs
to
vse
,
let
vs
euery
one
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
,
especially
those
of
vs
who
haue
been
endangered
by
debt
,
howsoeuer
befallen
vpon
vs
,
because
debts
must
be
paid
;
let
vs
I
say
,
vse
the
example
of
this
Widdow
and
her
two
sonnes
aright
,
let
vs
doe
as
they
did
,
worke
vpon
the
remainder
of
that
which
we
haue
,
be
it
but
one
poore
full
pitcher
of
Oyle
;
let
vs
goe
to
worke
,
and
make
triall
what
may
be
done
;
let
not
one
hand
be
idle
,
considering
there
remaines
still
a
promise
vnto
vs
,
as
to
our
fore-fathers
,
God
will
vndoubtedly
blesse
thee
in
vsing
all
good
,
holy
,
and
commanded
meanes
.
The
wise
man
Salomon
telleth
thee
;
In
all
labour
there
is
abundance
;
and
againe
in
another
place
,
he
encourageth
thee
who
hast
made
thy selfe
a
bond
man
to
thy
Creditor
,
if
thou
instead
of
being
bound
,
wouldest
be
free
and
a
commander
in
thine
owne
house
,
and
haue
power
ouer
thine
owne
goods
,
and
comfort
in
thy
wife
and
children
,
heare
his
counsell
,
and
follow
his
direction
:
The
hand
of
the
diligent
shall
beare
rule
,
but
the
idle
shall
be
vnder
tribute
.
Make
then
this
vse
of
it
,
euery
one
that
beareth
the
name
of
a
Christian
;
for
I
tell
thee
howsoeuer
by
the
Law
of
nature
thou
art
tyed
to
giue
suum
cuique
,
that
is
,
to
euery
one
his
owne
,
and
to
make
difference
betweene
meum
and
tuum
,
yet
thou
art
doubly
bound
in
the
Law
of
Christianity
,
and
that
to
thy
further
condemnation
(
if
thou
doe
not
performe
it
,
)
for
there
is
afforded
vnto
thee
by
the
Gospell
(
if
thou
receiue
it
)
the
holy
Ghost
,
for
the
inabling
of
thee
to
doe
what
by
the
Law
of
nature
thou
canst
not
haue
,
which
if
thou
attaine
not
vnto
,
it
is
thine
owne
fault
:
Examine
thy selfe
in
this
point
,
and
see
into
thine
owne
first
estate
,
how
thou
hast
liued
out
of
any
commendable
and
lawfull
calling
before
time
:
for
to
be
a
Gentleman
,
which
is
the
thing
that
many
base
liuers
doe
challenge
to
themselues
,
and
no
way
to
haue
beene
either
publikely
,
or
priuately
seruiceable
to
the
Church
,
the
Prince
,
the
Common-wealth
,
or
any
one
priuate
family
for
the
gouernment
thereof
.
If
thy
conscience
therefore
accuse
thee
in
this
behalfe
,
returne
betimes
,
repent
thee
of
thy
former
wayes
,
and
take
a
more
Christian
course
,
and
instead
of
walking
wholly
after
thy
delights
and
inordinate
pleasures
any
longer
,
see
into
the
wants
of
the
Church
and
of
the
Common-wealth
,
and
giue
thy
helping
hand
to
repaire
the
ruines
or
decayes
either
of
the
one
,
or
of
the
other
,
which
way
soeuer
God
shall
incline
thy
heart
vnto
,
and
make
thee
fit
for
;
knowing
this
for
a
surety
,
that
idlenesse
,
is
a
step
vnto
all
manner
of
wickednesse
:
yea
,
the
eight
Commandement
,
Thou
shalt
not
steale
,
will
take
thee
suspicious
as
a
transgressor
thereof
:
Be
well
aduised
therefore
,
and
follow
the
holy
Apostle
Pauls
counsell
,
who
saith
to
thee
,
to
me
,
and
to
euery
one
that
liueth
,
or
hath
liued
,
or
beene
a
nourisher
of
them
who
haue
liued
inordinately
:
Let
him
that
stole
,
steale
no
more
;
but
labour
the
thing
that
is
good
,
that
hee
may
haue
to
giue
to
him
that
needeth
.
And
thus
much
for
that
point
;
Now
it
followeth
:
And
the
Oyle
ceased
,
stood
at
a
stay
,
or
left
off
to
increase
.
Now
that
the
Widdow
hath
gotten
into
her
hands
the
possession
of
meanes
enough
,
out
of
this
Gods
good
,
(
as
I
may
call
it
)
this
so
plentifull
encrease
for
the
release
of
her selfe
from
care
,
from
debt
,
and
of
her
sonnes
from
seruitude
or
bondage
,
God
stayes
his
hand
,
hee
knowes
what
is
enough
,
the
Oyle
giues
ouer
and
increases
no
more
Doubtlesse
God
is
wise
in
the
performance
of
the
worke
of
mercy
,
according
to
time
&
measure
,
vpon
whomsoeuer
of
his
Children
;
neither
is
any
other
reason
to
be
rendered
thereof
,
besides
his
good
pleasure
;
as
also
in
the
execution
of
his
iudgements
,
when
he
seeth
meete
to
punish
them
whom
he
meaneth
to
punish
:
wherein
for
the
measure
and
time
of
staying
of
these
his
iudgements
when
he
pleaseth
,
he
is
not
to
be
questioned
with
.
that
the
Lord
repented
of
the
euill
,
and
said
to
the
Angell
that
destroyed
the
people
;
It
is
sufficient
,
hold
now
thy
hand
.
The
first
thing
that
is
to
be
obserued
vpon
this
point
is
,
that
all
Creatures
are
at
the
command
of
the
Creator
,
to
liue
or
to
die
at
his
pleasure
,
they
haue
their
time
to
serue
him
in
for
the
good
of
his
Children
,
they
haue
their
spring
time
,
their
haruest
,
and
their
fall
of
leafe
,
their
time
to
liue
and
grow
vp
in
,
their
time
to
cease
growing
,
or
any
way
increasing
;
and
this
commeth
to
passe
wonderfully
,
although
ordinarily
man
knoweth
not
how
:
But
as
the
Apostle
speaketh
of
the
Corne
that
is
sowen
,
Each
Corne
hath
his
owne
body
after
he
is
sowen
,
euen
to
euery
seede
his
owne
body
,
at
Gods
owne
pleasure
:
So
that
it
is
not
the
wit
of
man
,
nor
his
labour
,
with
all
his
skill
;
it
is
not
the
goodnesse
of
the
soyle
,
it
is
not
the
seasonablenesse
of
the
weather
,
but
it
is
God
himselfe
who
bringeth
these
mighty
things
to
passe
.
It
is
he
,
euen
he
alone
,
and
none
but
hee
that
maketh
this
encrease
.
Obserue
it
also
in
another
thing
:
Man
feedes
vpon
bread
and
other
foode
,
which
of
themselues
haue
no
life
at
all
,
whilest
they
feede
him
;
nay
,
euery
thing
must
change
,
and
be
changed
,
before
it
proue
,
or
can
be
meete
nourishment
for
him
,
it
is
by
God
that
they
turne
as
the
preseruatiue
Instruments
of
life
:
Man
liueth
not
by
bread
alone
,
but
by
euery
word
that
proceedeth
out
of
the
mouth
of
God
.
How
then
this
Oyle
encreaseth
,
and
stayeth
from
encreasing
,
let
vs
not
stand
as
at
a
gaze
to
admire
,
and
goe
no
further
;
but
goe
on
to
make
a
holy
and
profitable
vse
of
it
,
thereby
to
be
led
to
glorifie
God
,
who
is
,
as
the
Lord
of
Heauen
and
Earth
,
so
of
the
times
and
seasons
,
wherein
his
Creatures
are
to
serue
him
to
their
seuerall
ends
,
or
to
rest
from
doing
any
seruice
at
all
.
Whereas
these
words
(
And
the
Oyle
ceased
)
doe
seeme
to
yeeld
small
matter
,
let
me
be
bold
yet
in
the
power
of
the
Spirit
,
euen
of
the
Spirit
of
our
Lord
Iesus
,
who
hath
taken
me
(
vnworthy
though
)
into
his
seruice
,
and
according
to
my
poore
measure
and
place
,
hath
giuen
me
to
be
faithfull
,
who
also
vpon
this
Scripture
hath
drawne
me
along
thus
furre
,
whereof
in
the
many
dayes
of
my
distractions
,
in
the
case
which
presently
I
doe
here
handle
,
I
haue
made
some
vse
,
and
receiued
some
comfortable
hope
of
the
goodnesse
of
that
God
,
euen
my
God
(
giue
me
leaue
)
the
God
of
vs
all
,
the
mercifull
God
of
this
Widdow
;
yet
vpon
this
very
ceasing
of
the
Oyle
,
ariseth
most
worthy
doctrine
,
tending
to
the
teaching
of
euery
Christian
man
and
woman
contentednesse
of
his
,
her
,
or
their
estates
,
euen
that
wherein
God
hath
set
them
.
The
doctrine
then
is
this
.
That
as
God
doth
giue
or
take
away
from
thee
,
as
God
encreaseth
or
abateth
of
thy
stocke
or
store
,
be
thou
alwayes
ready
to
set
vp
the
rest
in
Gods
good
pleasure
,
and
not
as
the
World
doth
,
in
that
Heathenish
and
Idolatrous
goddesse
,
blinde
and
vnstable
Fortune
,
an
vtter
enemy
to
Gods
most
certaine
,
and
vndoubted
prouidence
.
It
is
a
lesson
fit
for
this
time
,
wherein
the
bottomlesse
&
vnsatiable
hearts
of
couetous
men
and
women
of
all
sorts
,
rich
and
poore
,
may
be
met
withall
,
whose
nature
is
so
repining
,
that
if
the
Lord
doe
but
stop
the
course
of
any
earthly
increase
,
by
what
meanes
soeuer
,
forth-with
they
fall
into
such
grudgings
,
and
vntoward
repinings
against
God
himselfe
,
as
if
he
denyed
them
once
to
be
their
own
caruers
,
and
did
cause
them
to
stand
to
his
appointment
,
he
then
could
not
but
doe
them
great
wrong
.
Such
male
contents
all
the
sort
of
vs
doe
,
and
will
proue
,
if
God
,
as
he
doe
with-draw
his
hand
from
relieuing
vs
,
and
from
the
increasing
of
our
store
,
he
doe
with-draw
our
hearts
in
like
manner
from
a
setled
and
quiet
contentment
of
enioying
what
he
sees
good
for
vs
.
But
to
the
curing
of
this
malady
,
this
example
of
the
Widdow
,
and
of
the
Lords
hand
,
in
staying
further
then
her
neede
was
to
relieue
her
,
with
some
few
other
Scriptures
that
follow
,
may
be
,
if
they
be
vsed
accordingly
,
very
soueraigne
and
medicinable
remidies
.
Let
vs
then
with
this
,
vse
also
that
prayer
that
is
set
downe
for
our
instruction
in
the
Prouerbs
;
Giue
me
not
pouerty
,
nor
riches
,
feede
me
with
foode
conuenient
for
me
,
lest
I
be
full
and
denie
thee
,
and
say
,
who
is
the
Lord
?
or
lest
I
be
poore
,
and
steale
,
and
take
the
name
of
my
God
in
vaine
.
When
those
empty
vessels
,
(
and
borrowed
)
of
the
widdowes
,
were
once
filled
,
the
Oyle
ceased
,
as
if
God
saide
;
It
is
enough
,
vse
it
well
,
and
be
content
.
The
care
then
which
we
ought
to
haue
for
the
things
of
this
life
,
is
,
as
from
the
teaching
of
the
Apostle
Paul
,
by
God
himselfe
limited
:
Therefore
when
we
haue
foode
and
rayment
,
let
vs
therewith
be
contented
.
The
holy
Patriarke
Iacob
,
although
conditionally
as
the
words
doe
import
,
did
solemnely
binde
himselfe
to
God
,
and
as
by
prayer
entreating
God
to
testifie
himselfe
to
be
his
God
:
If
God
(
saith
he
)
will
be
with
me
,
and
will
keepe
me
in
this
iourney
which
I
goe
,
and
will
giue
me
bread
to
eate
,
and
cloathes
to
put
on
,
so
that
I
come
againe
vnto
my
Fathers
House
in
safetie
,
then
shall
the
Lord
be
my
God
.
As
if
hee
should
say
;
I
desire
no
Kingdomes
,
nor
Lordships
,
I
desire
but
competency
,
with
Gods
fauour
.
Let
vs
also
to
the
same
purpose
,
behold
Paul
in
himselfe
,
for
vs
to
follow
:
For
I
haue
learned
(
saith
he
)
in
whatsoeuer
state
I
am
,
therewith
to
be
content
;
I
can
be
abased
,
and
I
can
abound
,
euery
where
,
in
all
things
;
I
am
instructed
both
to
be
full
,
and
to
be
hungry
,
and
to
abound
,
and
to
haue
want
.
All
which
lessons
,
how
farre
they
are
off
from
hauing
learned
,
who
resolue
themselues
they
will
be
rich
,
and
doe
make
their
reckoning
before
hand
,
that
they
will
not
leaue
vntill
they
haue
attained
to
so
many
thousands
,
giuing
themselues
liberty
to
get
or
gaine
howsoeuer
?
This
is
the
great
sinne
,
both
in
Church
and
Common-wealth
,
and
such
there
are
doubtlesse
too
many
.
These
are
they
of
whom
the
holy
Ghost
speakes
:
For
they
that
will
be
rich
,
(
saith
he
)
fall
into
tentations
and
snares
,
and
many
foolish
and
noysome
lusts
,
which
drowne
men
in
perdition
and
destruction
:
For
the
desire
of
money
is
the
roote
of
all
euill
,
which
while
some
haue
lusted
after
,
they
haue
erred
from
the
Faith
:
And
haue
not
many
amongst
vs
done
so
?
Haue
they
not
turned
Turkes
,
Papists
,
Athiests
,
and
what
not
,
for
Lands
,
liuing
,
honour
,
and
credit
?
)
and
then
saith
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
haue
pierced
themselues
thorow
with
many
sorrowes
.
How
farre
are
these
from
this
contentednesse
,
or
that
before
spoken
of
Iacobs
meate
,
drinke
,
and
apparell
,
who
by
inordinate
couetousnesse
,
and
vsury
of
all
sorts
,
deceit
and
oppression
,
idlenesse
,
and
such
like
,
haue
gone
out
of
the
way
of
Gods
Commandements
?
let
euery
indifferent
Reader
iudge
vprightly
.
But
to
thee
I
speake
,
to
thee
I
write
,
who
art
desirous
to
returne
out
of
these
ill
and
peruerse
wayes
,
who
art
not
wilfull
and
obstinate
,
but
desirest
to
walke
with
an
vpright
heart
,
to
the
well-pleasing
of
God
:
before
thee
it
is
that
I
haue
laide
downe
the
example
of
this
Widdow
and
her
two
sonnes
,
learne
then
from
her
,
for
the
redeeming
of
thy selfe
,
if
thou
hast
endangered
thy
estate
by
debt
any
way
▪
to
labour
from
hence
forth
so
as
thou
mayest
in
thy
honest
and
iust
trauailes
both
liue
and
satisfie
;
and
as
thou
doest
taste
of
Gods
goodnesse
towards
thee
,
so
lift
vp
thine
heart
and
glorifie
God
,
being
contented
with
whatsoeuer
God
in
his
prouidence
shall
prepare
for
thee
;
and
when
thou
seest
thou
art
at
a
stay
,
God
not
pleasing
that
thou
shalt
abound
with
wealth
,
but
onely
haue
from
hand
to
mouth
,
bread
for
the
day
;
with
this
(
and
the
Oyle
ceased
)
set
vp
thy
rest
wholly
in
the
Lord
.
Thus
much
for
that
point
.
Now
it
followeth
.
7.
Then
shee
came
,
and
tolde
the
man
of
God
,
and
he
saide
;
Goe
,
and
sell
the
Oyle
,
and
pay
them
that
thou
art
indebted
vnto
,
and
liue
thou
and
thy
children
of
the
rest
,
&c.
The
thing
that
is
to
be
obserued
in
the
Widdow
in
her
comming
the
second
time
to
the
Prophet
,
is
,
that
shee
doth
not
satisfie
her selfe
in
requiring
the
Prophet
as
at
the
first
which
way
her
present
need
might
be
supplyed
;
but
her
turne
being
serued
,
she
goes
to
him
againe
,
and
desires
aduice
how
she
may
dispose
of
that
to
her
best
auaile
.
Whence
we
are
to
learne
in
euery
seuerall
action
to
goe
to
God
for
his
counsell
,
and
not
to
suffer
any
thing
to
be
done
by
vs
without
the
further
direction
of
his
holy
Word
:
Indeede
to
aske
at
Gods
hands
we
will
be
ready
,
and
to
take
also
all
that
he
giues
with
a
common
or
course
acknowledgement
of
the
giuer
,
asking
perhaps
of
him
,
what
if
we
obtaine
to
consume
it
on
our
lusts
;
often
wee
aske
,
and
goe
empty
away
,
and
receiue
not
.
But
when
we
haue
gotten
of
him
ought
any
way
,
how
then
to
dispose
of
it
,
therein
we
will
make
stay
to
goe
to
him
:
for
euery
one
thinkes
that
being
interessed
,
or
possessed
of
ought
,
it
is
then
his
owne
,
and
lawfull
for
him
to
dispose
of
it
at
his
pleasure
.
Is
it
not
the
common
answere
of
euery
one
;
May
I
not
doe
with
mine
owne
what
I
please
?
I
answere
thee
no
:
for
thou
art
vnder
the
subiection
of
the
Almighty
,
who
hath
thee
and
all
thine
vnder
his
command
,
to
dispose
of
,
according
as
he
hath
prescribed
thee
in
his
holy
Word
:
Otherwise
thou
art
an
vsurper
,
howsoeuer
perhaps
thou
wilt
not
sticke
to
equall
thy selfe
to
Christ
Iesus
,
who
to
stop
the
mouthes
of
the
enuious
,
murmuring
,
and
repining
labourers
,
Is
it
not
lawfull
for
mee
to
doe
what
I
will
with
mine
owne
?
There
is
a
difference
betweene
Christ
Iesus
thy
Soueraigne
Lord
and
Master
and
thee
,
he
being
out
of
all
command
,
and
thou
altogether
vnder
him
:
for
no
otherwise
canst
thou
challenge
a
property
in
the
least
of
Gods
blessings
vpon
thee
,
but
as
thou
art
in
him
.
But
to
the
further
proofe
of
the
matter
in
hand
;
how
that
in
each
particular
action
,
both
for
the
hauing
what
we
want
,
and
the
vsing
it
when
we
haue
it
aright
,
we
ought
not
to
goe
without
counsell
.
There
is
one
example
in
Scripture
to
confirme
vs
,
in
the
Booke
of
Iudges
,
Well
,
be
it
so
,
we
will
expect
a
childe
,
as
thou
sayest
:
But
as
if
Manoah
should
say
further
;
It
is
not
enough
for
one
to
haue
a
childe
,
but
(
saith
he
)
how
shall
we
order
the
childe
,
and
doe
vnto
him
,
&
c
?
Many
desire
to
haue
Husbands
,
Wiues
,
Children
,
Lands
,
liuings
,
and
goods
,
but
to
aduise
out
of
the
Word
of
God
how
to
order
or
behaue
themselues
in
the
rightly
vsing
of
them
to
the
glory
of
God
and
their
owne
good
,
that
they
care
not
for
at
all
;
which
is
a
principall
cause
that
makes
all
goe
wrong
in
Countries
,
Cities
,
Townes
,
and
Families
.
Herein
the
very
Children
of
God
haue
beene
ouertaken
by
an
ouer-great
perswasion
they
haue
had
of
the
goodnesse
of
the
matter
purposed
vpon
.
The
same
night
the
Word
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
Nathan
saying
,
5.
Goe
,
and
tell
my
seruant
Dauid
,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
:
shalt
thou
build
me
an
House
for
my
dwelling
?
As
if
the
Lord
should
say
;
Thou
shalt
not
.
But
speaking
of
Salomon
,
he
saith
;
He
shall
build
a
House
for
my
name
.
So
that
how
good
soeuer
our
matters
seeme
to
be
,
God
will
haue
vs
in
them
all
to
take
his
Law
to
be
our
Counsellors
,
yea
,
aswell
in
the
manner
,
as
in
the
matter
;
otherwise
,
the
failing
in
the
manner
of
proceeding
,
and
that
in
a
good
cause
,
it selfe
may
worke
the
ouerthrow
of
the
cause
.
It
followeth
in
the
answere
of
the
Prophet
:
Goe
,
and
sell
the
Oyle
,
and
pay
to
them
thou
art
indebted
vnto
,
and
liue
thou
and
thy
children
of
the
rest
.
In
these
words
,
the
holy
man
of
God
counselleth
her
,
as
from
God
,
what
vse
shee
must
make
of
the
supplie
that
God
had
made
vnto
her
out
of
her
small
store
:
The
first
is
,
Pay
thy
debts
.
The
second
,
Liue
of
the
rest
.
The
first
vse
is
,
the
shutting
vp
of
the
point
;
that
is
,
the
maine
argument
of
this
History
:
viz.
Debts
must
be
paid
.
Whereof
to
speake
more
fully
,
I
will
set
downe
some
reasons
to
inforce
thereunto
:
the
first
is
drawne
from
our selues
,
in
our
owne
desires
,
who
would
not
willingly
permit
any
man
to
with-draw
from
vs
,
or
to
incroch
vpon
vs
,
for
any
part
of
those
our
goods
,
which
God
hath
giuen
vs
for
our
necessary
vses
,
and
that
against
our
willes
.
To
this
purpose
our
Sauiour
speaketh
:
As
ye
would
that
men
should
doe
to
you
,
so
doe
you
to
them
.
A
second
reason
is
from
Gods
Commandement
in
things
of
lesse
account
then
borrowed
goods
are
,
as
in
finding
things
lost
of
another
mans
,
in
keeping
things
committed
to
his
custodie
.
Againe
:
In
finding
thine
enemies
Oxe
or
Asse
going
astray
,
Thou
shalt
helpe
him
vp
againe
:
Much
more
then
it
behoueth
a
man
or
woman
of
God
,
with
care
and
great
consideration
,
nay
,
conscience
also
of
that
which
was
lent
to
him
vpon
loue
,
and
whereof
he
hath
had
long
vse
perhaps
,
to
make
to
the
vttermost
of
his
power
honest
,
iust
,
and
seasonable
restitution
.
A
third
reason
may
be
drawne
from
the
wrong
that
thou
offerest
thy selfe
,
or
any
other
that
stands
,
or
shall
so
stand
in
neede
for
the
time
to
come
;
for
thou
causest
thy
mercifull
friend
,
a
pitiful
and
compassionate
lender
perhaps
to
many
in
former
times
,
now
to
close
vp
his
heart
,
and
stiffely
to
strengthen
it
from
respecting
thee
,
or
any
other
in
thine
,
or
their
necessities
:
for
doubtlesse
a
chiefe
cause
of
so
little
lending
,
is
euill
and
vniust
payment
.
Fourthly
,
Thou
shalt
not
steale
:
Wherein
whatsoeuer
Lands
,
liuing
,
or
goods
,
not
thine
owne
,
but
another
mans
,
subtilly
,
secretly
,
cunningly
,
and
vniustly
incroched
vpon
by
thee
,
whereinto
thou
hast
entred
possession
,
as
from
a
false
clayme
or
title
,
and
doest
onely
enioy
it
by
might
,
against
right
,
and
that
vnder
colour
of
Law
onely
,
gayning
time
vpon
the
innocent
,
not
being
able
to
match
thee
by
the
purse
,
or
otherwise
by
some
ouer-sight
in
not
timely
seeking
his
owne
;
know
this
,
that
howsoeuer
the
Law
of
man
may
priuiledge
thee
to
hold
that
which
thou
hast
vniustly
gotten
,
yet
the
Law
of
God
will
not
take
from
thee
the
guilt
of
that
sinne
,
vntill
that
faith
of
thine
,
hauing
opened
thy
heart
vnto
true
remorse
for
that
sinne
of
thine
,
doe
wash
thee
thorowly
from
the
same
,
in
the
bloud
of
Iesus
Christ
,
for
thy
full
forgiuenesse
.
A
fift
reason
,
Salomon
:
The
rich
man
ruleth
the
poore
,
and
the
borrower
is
a
seruant
to
the
lender
;
The
latter
part
of
the
sentence
is
it
that
serueth
this
purpose
,
wherein
the
holy-Ghost
doth
not
iustifie
the
pride
,
and
tyranny
of
those
vnmercifull
lenders
;
but
rather
sets
it
downe
as
a
caueat
for
Gods
Children
to
take
heed
how
they
enter
into
the
hands
of
such
vnmercifull
men
.
I
doe
the
rather
presse
this
point
,
and
vrge
it
vpon
vniust
and
base
minded
borrowers
,
towards
them
who
are
conscionable
and
neighbourly
friends
,
who
vopn
meere
loue
were
willing
to
depart
from
their
goods
for
a
season
,
to
pleasure
the
borrower
with
;
because
,
such
is
the
iniquity
of
the
time
,
that
there
are
that
take
other
mens
goods
into
their
hands
,
howsoeuer
in
faire
words
,
and
colourably
,
vnder
cloake
of
Religion
,
they
carry
the
matter
with
faire
promises
,
till
their
turne
be
serued
;
yet
,
before-hand
,
they
resolue
to
breake
time
,
yea
,
and
that
although
they
neede
not
;
some
other
,
not
euer
purposing
to
pay
:
but
whereunto
may
such
deceitful
debtors
be
compared
?
they
are
like
to
a
faire
Horse
of
some
hope
,
whereupon
,
when
the
Master
hath
bestowed
all
his
cost
by
prouandar
,
and
other
keeping
,
to
his
great
charge
;
euen
then
,
when
hee
thinkes
him
fit
,
and
lookes
for
seruice
at
his
hands
,
hee
proues
a
very
Iade
;
and
withall
,
suddenly
turnes
vp
his
heeles
:
Euen
so
is
a
dissembling
debtor
to
an
honest
lender
;
or
rather
,
like
to
a
piece
of
ground
,
whereon
a
man
setting
his
hope
,
and
thereafter
bestoweth
his
labour
;
first
his
rent
,
then
his
labour
,
his
manure
and
his
seede
in
all
good
Husbandry
,
with
long
expectation
;
euen
then
,
when
hee
should
receiue
the
fruites
of
his
tedious
toyle
,
he
looses
all
,
and
scarce
receiues
his
seede
againe
.
Take
heede
then
to
thy selfe
,
if
thou
wilt
not
be
accounted
of
as
a
stinking
lade
,
of
whose
carkeise
comes
carrion
for
the
Kites
and
Crowes
to
picke
on
;
or
,
if
thou
wilt
not
be
as
the
ground
,
which
is
reproued
,
and
is
neere
vnto
cursing
,
whose
end
is
to
be
burned
;
keepe
then
a
good
conscience
,
that
may
be
thy
comfort
when
the
World
speakes
ill
of
thee
;
know
thine
owne
from
other
mens
,
feare
God
,
deale
iustly
,
giue
to
euery
man
his
owne
,
hauing
especially
receiued
(
as
this
Widdow
hath
,
although
not
in
that
manner
)
some
good
increase
from
God
:
let
not
in
any
wise
the
feare
of
thine
owne
want
,
make
thee
corrupt
in
paying
to
them
that
thou
owest
.
God
is
rich
both
for
the
one
and
the
other
:
(
Pay
saith
the
Prophet
)
to
them
thou
art
indebted
;
for
debts
must
be
paid
.
But
if
thou
wilt
say
,
thou
hast
it
not
,
and
in
so
saying
,
speakest
simply
;
I
yet
aduise
thee
with
him
who
said
it
,
and
that
most
truly
:
Si
non
effectu
,
affectu
tamen
:
If
thou
canst
not
come
any
thing
neere
to
pay
the
whole
debt
,
yet
come
as
neere
as
thou
canst
;
shew
thy
readinesse
out
of
that
little
that
thou
hast
remaining
,
if
not
any
thing
neere
to
a
full
,
yet
toward
satisfaction
:
and
howsoeuer
it
will
not
perhaps
please
men
,
yet
in
hauing
a
good
conscience
,
God
will
be
well
pleased
.
One
other
reason
may
induce
vs
to
restitution
,
and
that
is
,
that
loue
of
God
wherewith
he
hath
loued
thee
,
and
caused
thee
by
the
power
of
that
his
loue
,
to
loue
him
againe
;
let
this
loue
of
God
infinitely
shewing
it selfe
to
thee
both
for
soule
and
body
,
worke
in
thee
a
care
of
iust
and
equall
dealing
with
men
,
according
as
God
is
iust
,
and
requires
it
of
thee
,
that
therein
thou
resembling
him
,
mayest
also
reape
the
comfortable
witnesse
fo
God
and
thine
owne
conscience
,
which
neuer
goes
without
her
true
and
endlesse
ioy
.
Besides
these
reasons
already
,
let
me
be
bold
to
stirre
vp
all
sorts
and
degrees
of
people
,
both
Honourable
,
Worshipfull
,
and
others
,
by
the
example
of
a
meane
and
poore
labourer
,
to
discharge
this
duty
of
equity
and
vprightnesse
,
in
making
care
to
pay
to
euery
man
his
owne
,
neither
let
the
meannesse
of
the
person
cause
thee
lesse
to
esteeme
the
truth
,
but
rather
respect
it
highly
,
vnder
whose
person
soeuer
it
be
brought
to
thee
,
because
it
is
the
Word
of
the
onely
true
,
and
eternall
God
.
The
thing
is
this
:
Elizha
;
Alas
Master
,
it
was
but
borrowed
:
as
if
the
poore
man
should
say
;
The
losse
of
the
Axe
head
doth
not
so
much
grieue
me
,
as
that
I
borrowed
it
,
and
must
restore
it
againe
.
The
example
of
Paul
to
Philemon
,
brought
in
before
,
to
teach
all
lenders
mercy
to
their
distressed
prisoners
,
for
debt
,
where
no
meanes
is
otherwise
to
be
had
for
satisfaction
,
may
also
serue
to
this
purpose
of
iust
dealing
,
without
oppression
any
way
of
any
man
:
Where
mention
being
made
of
Philemon
,
If
he
hath
hurt
thee
,
or
oweth
thee
ought
,
that
put
on
my
accounts
,
I
Paul
have
written
this
with
mine
owne
hands
,
I
will
recompence
it
:
As
if
the
Apostle
should
inferre
thus
much
;
I
should
Philemon
,
I
confesse
,
doe
thee
great
wrong
,
if
as
I
doe
intreat
for
thy
seruant
,
I
should
not
withall
either
draw
him
to
restore
what
he
hath
deceiued
thee
of
,
or
else
assume
my selfe
to
satisfie
thee
.
The
vse
that
may
be
made
of
these
reasons
and
proofes
of
this
point
,
(
that
debts
must
be
paid
)
from
this
Widdow
,
is
first
,
as
of
a
Looking-glasse
for
all
the
loofe
,
carelesse
,
vncharitable
,
vnnaturll
,
(
many
of
them
)
and
vnconscionable
Widdowes
in
all
parts
of
our
Countries
to
looke
themselues
in
;
such
Widdowes
as
in
whom
there
in
little
feare
of
God
appearing
,
nor
any
true
loue
to
Husband
while
hee
liued
,
without
care
or
conscience
of
the
Creditors
,
who
without
all
equity
or
honesty
,
(
instead
of
going
to
the
Prophets
,
the
Ministers
of
God
,
such
as
are
men
of
God
,
who
dare
not
but
giue
good
counsell
)
seeke
out
to
themselues
the
most
subtill
,
cunning
,
and
crafty-headed
mates
,
by
whom
they
may
learne
how
to
strip
,
if
possibly
they
may
the
Creditors
of
the
whole
;
or
else
by
delayes
,
when
they
neede
not
,
(
hauing
enough
,
if
not
some
of
them
more
then
enough
)
to
put
them
off
from
their
owne
vntill
they
can
be
at
leasure
.
This
Widdow
,
if
they
looke
well
into
her
,
will
reach
them
another
lesson
;
that
is
,
as
before
is
saide
,
to
conceale
the
Husbands
weakenesses
,
to
doe
all
what
may
returne
him
credit
,
yea
,
after
his
death
,
so
often
as
occasion
is
offered
to
speake
of
him
:
this
Widdow
,
wil
teach
them
to
goe
to
God
,
and
by
their
Ministers
to
be
enformed
to
doe
what
is
meete
to
be
done
,
concerning
hauing
or
leauing
the
things
of
this
life
,
and
how
to
vse
them
in
all
good
conscience
,
for
the
good
of
those
with
whom
they
haue
to
deale
,
as
also
for
their
owne
both
credit
and
comfort
.
And
as
for
Widdowes
(
for
such
there
are
)
this
is
a
good
looking-glasse
,
so
it
may
be
vsed
by
all
manner
of
persons
whomsoeuer
,
to
behold
themselues
in
,
thereby
to
discouer
vnto
them
their
manifold
blemishes
in
the
matter
of
borrowings
and
lendings
,
of
the
which
kindes
,
there
are
of
borrowers
,
if
I
should
say
one
hundred
for
one
,
I
might
perhaps
be
thought
to
ouer-reach
farre
,
but
who
sees
it
not
,
and
that
too
plainely
?
and
herein
who
sees
not
withall
,
the
very
liuely
portraiture
of
a
declining
and
decaying
age
,
enery
way
both
in
Church
and
Common-wealth
approaching
very
neere
,
and
that
vnder
these
happy
dayes
of
prosperity
and
plenty
,
both
of
Preachers
and
preaching
,
blessed
be
God
,
wherein
yet
(
might
I
speake
freely
without
offence
)
what
I
feare
,
(
Oh
were
it
but
one
mans
feare
)
I
would
say
,
not
to
the
laying
of
any
stumbling
blocke
before
the
profession
of
the
Gospell
,
and
the
Professors
,
there
be
too
many
stumbling
blockes
already
,
(
Oh
woe
is
me
)
there
be
too
many
rockes
of
occasion
,
and
stones
to
stumble
at
,
there
be
too
many
lies
in
the
way
;
the
reports
of
these
occasions
are
sounded
throughout
the
World
,
Fame
with
her
light
and
swift
wings
hath
soared
aloft
,
and
cryes
out
,
and
cannot
be
stopped
,
to
the
heartening
of
our
aduersaries
,
vnder
hope
of
a
day
,
which
hope
yet
of
their
God
destroy
,
as
he
hath
hitherto
done
,
and
rather
(
as
Dauid
desired
,
when
he
was
put
to
the
choyce
which
of
the
three
punishments
he
would
rather
require
)
for
God
had
decreed
,
and
punished
the
Land
and
people
must
be
,
for
Dauids
sinne
,
in
the
numoring
of
his
people
,
the
decree
was
already
out
,
and
not
to
be
called
in
:
Heare
the
words
of
Dauid
,
and
let
vs
making
vse
of
them
all
,
euen
all
of
vs
say
,
and
that
with
the
spirit
of
Dauid
;
I
am
in
a
wonderfull
straight
,
(
saith
he
)
Let
vs
fall
now
into
the
hands
of
the
Lord
,
for
his
m●rcies
are
great
,
and
let
vs
not
fall
into
the
hands
of
men
.
But
what
is
the
crie
in
the
Land
?
The
crie
is
this
,
that
Popery
,
and
all
manner
of
prophane
wickednesse
,
couers
it selfe
vnder
the
cloake
of
holinesse
;
yea
,
and
where
it
enters
,
it
preuailes
beyond
holinesse
and
the
thruth
it selfe
:
this
is
the
crie
;
but
to
the
purpose
in
hand
.
The
crie
is
as
the
Prophet
I
say
sets
it
downe
.
Behold
,
there
shall
be
like
People
,
like
Priest
;
like
Seruant
,
like
Master
;
like
Maide
,
like
Mistresse
;
like
buyer
,
like
seller
;
like
lender
,
like
borrower
;
like
giuer
,
like
taker
to
vsury
,
&c.
This
is
the
crie
of
the
Prophet
,
fore-speaking
the
curse
of
God
ready
to
light
vpon
the
people
for
their
sinnes
.
But
my
purpose
is
(
after
this
parentheticall
digression
)
not
altogether
from
the
purpose
,
to
be
vnto
you
(
Oh
ye
rich
and
wealthy
of
the
Land
,
who
haue
huge
Territories
,
and
great
possessions
)
an
humble
suiter
,
that
yet
I
may
be
to
you
as
the
poore
Israelitish
Mayden
,
taken
captiue
in
the
Hoast
,
was
vnto
Naaman
the
Sarian
,
&
a
Captaine
,
a
great
man
,
honourable
,
mighty
,
and
valiant
,
yet
a
Leper
:
Shee
was
as
an
occasion
of
the
healing
of
the
leprosie
of
him
her
Lord
and
Master
,
by
the
report
shee
made
of
Elisha
the
Prophet
vnto
him
.
Let
me
also
as
by
the
way
of
passage
,
and
walke
through
the
Wildernesse
of
this
wretched
life
,
the
full
period
whereof
I
am
almost
at
;
let
me
be
to
some
of
you
and
yours
,
Oh
that
I
might
but
be
,
as
an
occasion
any
way
of
your
good
,
either
for
soule
,
or
body
,
or
for
both
:
For
doubtlesse
there
is
a
creeping
leprosie
,
a
spiritual
and
a
soule-leprosie
entring
into
your
houses
,
if
not
entred
,
(
Principijs
obsta
:
)
it
is
this
leprosie
of
oppression
,
of
this
kinde
whereof
my
Treatise
is
,
that
is
;
Debts
must
be
paid
:
Oh
that
I
might
(
if
not
by
my selfe
)
which
I
cannot
,
my
physicke
being
(
although
I
dare
assure
you
it
is
of
the
right
balme
in
Gilead
)
not
so
fit
for
your
Honours
perhaps
.
Yet
Oh
that
I
might
be
as
this
poore
wench
was
vnto
Naaman
,
an
occasion
,
by
report
vnto
you
of
some
one
or
other
,
such
as
Elisha
was
,
as
doubtlesse
there
be
among
you
men
of
great
worth
,
to
whom
I
would
breede
no
disparagement
;
yet
because
the
malady
is
dangerous
,
and
no
leprosie
so
infectious
as
it
is
,
Where
many
Counsellors
are
▪
there
is
health
:
And
why
should
I
be
so
foolish
as
to
require
the
nomination
of
him
vnto
you
,
who
might
worke
out
the
cure
thorowly
?
Giue
me
leaue
therefore
,
there
is
but
one
,
and
hee
alone
,
who
can
make
the
medicinable
potions
ministred
vnto
you
by
your
skilfull
Physicians
effectuall
,
vnto
the
curing
of
this
disease
,
euen
God
himselfe
;
to
whom
Dauid
prayed
,
Psalme
119.
most
earnestly
:
Incline
my
heart
vnto
thy
Testimonies
,
and
not
to
couetousnesse
;
if
it
be
for
the
leprosie
of
voluptuousnesse
and
inordinate
pleasure
,
for
the
curing
whereof
we
your
Ministers
are
appointed
to
make
you
medicines
,
and
to
lay
them
to
your
running
soares
:
yet
the
same
Prophet
in
the
same
Psalme
also
craueth
of
God
,
that
hee
will
cause
it
to
worke
effectually
,
to
the
curing
thereof
,
where
he
prayeth
.
Turne
away
mine
eyes
from
beholding
vanity
,
and
quicken
me
(
saith
he
)
in
thy
way
.
He
it
is
that
I
must
make
report
of
to
you
,
for
where
he
workes
not
,
there
is
no
prosperous
hope
of
doing
good
by
the
Physicians
of
your
soules
,
nor
of
your
receiuing
good
from
them
without
him
:
Intreate
him
therefore
earnestly
,
that
himselfe
will
take
you
his
Patients
to
cure
,
and
doubtlesse
you
shall
be
cured
.
But
you
must
not
then
(
Oh
ye
Sonnes
of
Men
)
you
must
not
let
your
greatnesse
priuiledge
you
against
your
Teachers
,
but
you
must
heare
them
,
beleeue
them
,
and
follow
them
:
giue
not
eare
to
any
Syrens
charme
,
let
not
the
counsell
of
Wife
,
Friend
,
Counsellor
of
Law
;
let
no
Steward
,
Bayliffe
,
or
Officer
,
nor
ought
else
preuaile
with
you
in
this
point
,
to
cause
you
at
any
hand
to
oppresse
your
Tenants
ouer-heauily
,
to
borrow
of
them
and
not
to
pay
againe
:
Beare
them
not
downe
with
your
greatnesse
,
nor
let
any
towards
you
,
in
your
names
,
detaine
from
them
what
is
due
debt
on
your
parts
to
them
,
but
pay
them
,
and
they
shall
the
better
be
able
both
to
pay
you
,
and
ready
to
serue
you
in
all
necessary
seruices
they
may
.
Farre
be
it
from
vs
that
you
,
or
any
of
the
Church-Ministery
,
should
giue
vs
cause
to
crie
out
so
bitterly
against
you
,
as
the
Prophet
Micah
did
against
the
Rulers
and
false
Prophets
of
his
time
.
They
hate
the
good
,
and
loue
the
euill
;
they
plucke
off
their
skinnes
from
them
,
and
their
flesh
from
their
bones
.
3.
And
they
eate
also
the
flesh
of
my
people
,
&c.
Reade
further
at
your
leasures
.
And
for
the
Prophets
,
(
But
can
this
time
of
the
Gospell
breed
any
such
couetous
false
prophets
thinke
you
?
)
Such
there
were
then
,
and
such
may
be
where
God
takes
away
his
grace
:
Thus
saith
the
Lord
,
concerning
the
Prophets
that
deceiue
my
people
,
and
bite
them
with
their
teeth
,
and
cry
peace
;
but
if
a
man
put
not
into
their
mouthes
,
they
prepare
warre
against
him
.
But
you
wealthy
ones
,
who
cannot
endure
bondage
on
any
hand
,
keepe
your selues
then
free
,
and
discharge
whatsoeuer
any
meane
person
can
iustly
challenge
of
you
:
pay
your
debts
to
the
meanest
person
,
yea
,
the
rather
,
because
he
is
base
or
meane
,
be
you
the
lesse
beholding
to
him
.
A
wofull
Age
we
liue
in
,
who
lookes
abroade
,
sees
it
,
yea
,
he
sees
more
then
he
that
is
shut
vp
:
Euery
one
cries
out
of
wrong
,
when
in
the
meane
while
,
who
is
it
,
if
aduantage
may
be
had
vpon
neuer
so
small
a
straine
,
but
will
be
ready
to
offer
it
,
and
that
without
remorse
.
And
so
to
hast
to
an
end
of
this
point
;
Would
God
there
were
not
iust
cause
to
cry
out
with
the
Prophet
Ieremy
:
Euery
one
from
the
least
to
the
greatest
,
is
giuen
to
couetousnesse
;
and
from
the
Prophet
to
the
Priest
,
euery
one
dealeth
falsely
.
That
last
lesson
(
somewhat
spoken
of
before
in
this
Treatise
)
which
ariseth
out
of
these
words
(
and
liue
thou
and
thy
children
of
the
rest
)
is
to
be
renewed
againe
vpon
vs
for
our
further
instruction
.
First
then
God
will
haue
the
poore
comforted
,
with
this
example
,
that
they
in
whom
it
pleaseth
him
to
worke
a
good
conscience
,
and
in
it
a
care
of
iust
dealing
with
euery
man
,
and
meanes
that
so
it
may
be
(
videlicet
)
in
this
one
kinde
,
that
the
poore
man
doe
testifie
his
vprightnesse
,
by
liuing
of
himselfe
by
his
labour
,
and
paying
where
he
borroweth
;
he
shall
not
then
,
neither
his
,
be
destituted
of
what
necessary
prouision
is
meete
for
him
,
and
his
to
liue
vpon
during
life
:
alwayes
this
prouided
,
that
hauing
foode
and
rayment
according
to
his
,
or
their
places
,
without
excesse
,
therewith
to
learne
to
be
content
.
Another
lesson
as
naturally
issuing
out
of
this
bountifulnesse
of
God
to
this
Widdow
,
in
prouiding
for
her
maintenance
,
besides
for
her
and
hers
,
ouer
and
aboue
that
which
paid
the
Creditor
:
The
rich
man
as
from
God
himselfe
,
is
to
learne
a
lesson
of
tender
pitty
and
compassion
,
to
be
extended
by
them
vnto
their
Debtors
,
when
they
shall
come
to
make
restitution
of
what
they
borrowed
being
not
so
able
as
willing
to
make
satisfaction
,
without
their
great
hurt
,
that
the
man
of
wealth
doe
not
so
narrowly
deale
with
him
or
them
,
as
vtterly
to
strip
them
of
all
,
but
rather
(
if
not
to
forgiue
)
yet
to
leaue
vntill
a
further
time
,
what
is
most
necessary
for
their
present
vse
,
vntill
by
their
honest
and
seasonable
labour
they
haue
gotten
somewhat
more
to
worke
out
in
the
end
full
contentment
.
Whereunto
,
that
Gods
Spirit
may
worke
in
all
an
honest
heart
,
for
iust
and
vpright
dealing
betweene
man
and
man
;
as
also
in
the
rich
,
a
good
care
of
shewing
themselues
pitifull
where
God
requires
it
at
their
hands
;
let
them
be
well
pleased
to
heare
what
charge
God
hath
giuen
to
them
in
that
first
Epist.
Charge
them
that
are
rich
in
this
World
,
that
they
be
not
high
minded
,
and
that
they
trust
not
in
vncertaine
riches
,
but
in
the
liuing
God
,
which

all

That
they
doe
good
,
and
be
rich
in
good
workes
,
and
be
ready
to
distribute
,
and
communicate
.
19.
Laying
vp
in
store
for
themselues
a
good
foundation
against
the
time
to
come
.
Heare
also
,
O
ye
,
whose
state
is
very
low
,
who
are
oppressed
with
pouerty
,
in
the
dangers
of
men
indebted
,
and
neere
to
vtter
ouerthrow
;
heare
O
ye
who
are
of
an
honest
heart
,
and
loue
iust
and
vpright
wayes
,
to
walke
in
them
.
Heare
what
Dauid
teacheth
you
.
Trust
in
the
Lord
(
saith
he
)
and
doe
good
,
dwell
in
the
Land
,
and
thou
shalt
be
fedde
assuredly
.
4.
Delight
thy selfe
in
the
Lord
,
and
he
shall
giue
thee
thine
hearts
desire
.
5.
Commit
thy
way
vnto
the
Lord
,
and
trust
in
him
,
and
hee
shall
bring
it
to
passe
.
7.
Waite
patiently
vpon
the
Lord
,
and
hope
in
him
:
fret
not
thy selfe
for
him
which
prospereth
in
his
way
;
nor
for
the
man
that
bringeth
his
enterprises
to
passe
:
These
,
and
such
like
,
meditate
day
and
night
vpon
;
let
them
be
vnto
thee
as
speciall
preseruatiues
against
pride
,
disdaine
,
enuy
,
grudging
and
repining
at
the
rich
,
because
they
are
rich
,
and
against
thy
murmuring
at
the
Lord
himselfe
,
because
thou
art
poore
:
for
what
thou
art
,
thou
art
by
his
prouidence
,
and
it
is
a
fruite
of
our
originall
and
naturall
corruption
,
to
enuie
and
repine
at
other
mens
prosperity
.
And
thus
I
end
this
Treatise
,
wherein
you
haue
heard
the
prosperous
successe
of
this
Widdow
in
her
suite
,
and
in
the
vse
of
all
good
meanes
by
her
,
according
as
shee
was
prescribed
by
the
Prophet
;
and
of
her
being
made
able
to
pay
,
where
shee
was
left
by
her
Husband
indebted
;
whom
when
we
beganne
with
,
we
found
very
poore
,
and
full
of
heauinesse
,
hauing
but
one
poore
Pitcher
of
Oyle
to
serue
all
her
turnes
withall
:
Now
we
must
leaue
her
ioyfull
,
with
many
full
vessels
plentifully
increased
by
the
LORD
,
whereby
all
her
turnes
more
fully
serued
,
the
History
of
her
is
now
ended
.
Now
let
vs
pray
vnto
our
gracious
and
bountifull
Lord
,
the
Father
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
that
he
will
vouchsafe
to
all
persons
,
(
whether
borrowers
,
or
lenders
,
giuers
,
or
takers
,
buyers
,
or
sellers
,
rich
and
poore
,
)
that
in
all
Christian
moderation
they
may
walke
together
to
the
well-pleasing
of
GOD
,
in
the
whole
course
of
this
life
.
The
God
of
Peace
,
To
whom
be
praise
for
euer
and
euer
.
Amen
.
