PREACHED
in
London
before
the
right
honourable
the
Lord
Lawarre
,
Lord
Gouernour
and
Captaine
Generall
of
VIRGINEA
,
and
others
of
his
Maiesties
Counsell
for
that
Kingdome
,
and
the

of
the
aduenturers
in
that
plantation

But
I
haue
praied
for
thee
,
that
thy
saith
saile
not
:
therefore
when
thou
art
conuerted
strengthen
thy
brethren
.
FOure
places
of
Scripture
are
abused
by
the
Papists
aboue
the
rest
.
First
,
those
words
of
Christ
,
Vpon
this
Rocke
I
will
build
my
This
is
my
bodie
:
Thirdly
,
his
speech
to
Peter
after
his
resurrection
,
Feed
my
sheepe
:
Lastly
,
these
to
Peter
afore
his
passion
,
I
haue
praied
for
thee
,
that
thy
faith
faile
not
.
These
last
Bellarmine
likes
so
well
,
that
ten
times
he
allegeth
them
in
one
of
his
Tomes
,
and
makes
them
serue
,
not
for
one
,
but
many
purposes
.
Hence
he
can
prooue
,
that
the
Pope
is
the
supreme
and
infallible
Iudge
of
all
controuersies
:
Why
?
Because
Christ
saith
to
Peter
,
I
have
praicd
for
thee
,
that
thy
faith
faile
not
.
Hence
he
can
prooue
,
that
Peter
is
the
head
and
prince
of
his
brethren
:
Why
?
Because
strengthen
his
brethren
.
Hence
hee
can
prooue
that
the
Pope
cannot
erre
in
matter
of
faith
,
Christ
praied
that
Peters
faith
might
not
faile
.
Hence
he
will
proue
that
Peter
hath
more
and
greater
priuileges
then
the
whole
Church
:
nay
this
serues
his
turne
to
prooue
that
Councels
cannot
erre
if
they
it
is
probable
,
the
Pope
,
as
he
is
a
priuate
person
,
cannot
bee
an
heretike
.
Such
plentifull
vse
can
Bellarmine
make
of
any
peece
of
Scripture
,
if
he
thinke
it
doe
but
sound
for
him
.
But
I
dare
say
the
Scripture
that
the
diuell
brought
against
But
seeing
the
primitiue
fathers
haue
made
no
such
Particularly
,
as
the
body
,
so
the
soule
stands
in
need
of
three
sorts
of
physicke
.
First
,
it
is
necessarie
that
it
be
purged
from
the
corruption
of
sinne
,
which
else
will
kill
the
soule
:
then
,
being
purged
,
it
is
to
be
restored
to
life
and
strength
:
lastly
,
being
so
restored
,
it
is
requisite
that
it
bee
preserued
in
that
state
vnto
the
end
.
Answerable
vnto
these
there
is
a
threefold
kinde
of
physicke
wee
receiue
from
Christ
:
viz.
purgatiue
,
restoratiue
,
and
preseruatiue
.
First
,
purgatiue
,
to
purge
our
soules
from
the
corrupt
humours
and
the
infectious
staine
of
sinne
:
and
this
powerfull
potion
is
confected
of
the
precious
merits
of
the
death
and
passion
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
who
died
,
that
we
might
die
to
sinne
,
and
our
sinnes
die
in
vs
:
and
was
crucified
,
that
our
sinnes
might
be
nailed
on
his
crosse
:
and
buried
,
that
our
sinnes
might
so
die
,
that
they
may
neuer
liue
againe
in
vs
.
But
when
a
sicke
man
is
purged
of
all
his
euill
humours
,
it
helpeth
not
if
he
be
not
also
restored
to
strength
.
Therefore
secondly
,
wee
receiue
also
from
Christ
restoratiue
physicke
,
such
as
whereby
we
are
restored
to
the
life
of
grace
,
and
fauour
of
God
.
And
this
comfortable
restoratiue
balme
distils
from
the
glorious
merits
of
the
resurrection
of
Christ
:
who
,
as
he
died
for
our
sinnes
,
so
hee
rose
againe
for
our
iustification
:
and
who
therefore
rose
from
death
to
life
,
that
he
might
merit
grace
for
vs
whereby
wee
may
rise
vp
from
the
death
of
our
sinnes
to
newnesse
and
holinesse
of
life
.
But
because
it
is
not
sufficient
to
be
restored
,
vnlesse
a
man
be
kept
in
health
,
for
that
a
relapse
is
more
dangerous
then
the
former
sicknesse
;
therefore
to
keepe
vs
from
deadly
relapses
(
into
which
without
Christ
we
were
sure
to
fall
)
we
doe
finally
receiue
from
Christ
preseruatiue
physicke
,
by
the
vertue
whereof
wee
are
preserued
in
the
state
of
grace
,
and
fauour
of
God
;
and
these
blessed
and
soueraigne
antidotes
are
confected
of
the
glorious
merits
of
Christ
his
ascension
and
intercession
,
who
therefore
is
entred
into
heauen
to
appeare
now
in
the
sight
of
God
for
us
.
Now
for
the
words
in
hand
,
they
speake
of
the
sweet
and
comfortable
Preseruatiues
wee
receiue
from
Christ
his
powerfull
intercession
:
as
though
Christ
had
said
,
I
confesse
(
Peter
)
thou
art
a
great
professor
and
protester
,
but
little
knowest
thou
how
mighty
thy
enemy
is
,
and
how
weake
thy selfe
;
thou
rellest
me
thou
wilt
die
for
me
,
but
know
that
thy
enemy
Satan
will
sift
thee
to
the
full
,
and
not
cease
till
he
haue
tried
the
vtmost
of
his
power
against
thee
:
But
I
who
redeemed
thee
will
not
leaue
to
loue
thee
;
I
will
therefore
by
the
power
of
my
intercession
,
purchase
thee
such
grace
,
as
shall
vphold
thee
and
raise
thee
vp
againe
,
and
will
so
make
thee
a
comfortable
example
to
all
my
elect
:
Thou
therefore
in
remembrance
of
what
I
haue
done
for
thee
,
when
thou
feelest
the
sweetnesse
of
this
my
mercy
to
thy selfe
,
teach
others
by
thy
example
,
and
endeuour
seriously
the
conuersion
and
confirmation
of
thy
brethren
.
All
this
the
Lord
Iesus
piles
vp
in
a
few
words
:
But
I
haue
praied
for
thee
that
thy
faith
faile
not
,
therefore
when
thou
art
conuerted
strengthen
thy
brethren
.
The
parts
are
two
:
Christs
mercy
,
and
Peters
dutie
.
I
haue
praied
for
thee
,
&c.
Secondly
the
duty
of
all
men
who
tast
of
that
loue
;
when
they
are
conuerted
they
must
labour
the
conuersion
of
others
:
When
thou
art
conuerted
,
&c.
Both
are
directed
first
and
personally
to
Peter
,
but
from
him
deriued
to
all
Gods
children
in
the
world
,
for
that
which
then
was
Peters
case
,
falles
out
to
be
the
case
of
all
men
:
so
that
the
words
are
not
spoken
to
Peter
as
he
was
an
Apostle
,
but
as
he
was
an
ordinary
Christian
and
a
child
of
God
.
And
as
in
the
first
part
Christ
did
no
fauour
to
Peter
which
he
doth
not
to
euery
christian
in
like
case
;
namely
to
pray
for
them
that
their
faith
faile
not
:
so
the
duty
here
laid
vpon
Peter
,
in
him
is
laid
vpon
all
men
,
to
labour
to
bring
others
to
Christ
after
they
be
brought
themselues
.
The
meaning
being
thus
explaned
,
let
vs
open
the
points
in
order
.
But
I
haue
praied
for
thee
that
thy
faith
faile
not
.
This
time
and
occasion
will
not
giue
leaue
to
vnfold
the
questions
that
might
bee
mooued
touching
Christs
praier
and
intercession
for
his
Church
;
much
lesse
may
wee
spend
any
of
the
short
time
wee
haue
in
discouering
or
disproouing
the
Popish
abuse
of
these
words
.
I
wish
no
congregation
did
need
it
more
then
this
:
for
then
the
names
of
Pope
and
Poperie
might
be
buried
as
they
long
agoe
deserued
.
Let
vs
therefore
come
to
such
necessarie
instructions
as
arise
directly
out
of
that
meaning
which
hath
beene
laid
downe
.
And
first
of
all
,
wee
may
heere
see
out
of
the
hath
desired
to
sift
thee
,
but
I
haue
praied
for
thee
.
See
,
Satan
cannot
bee
so
ready
to
hurt
as
Christ
to
helpe
vs
:
Satan
not
so
malicious
to
conspire
our
fall
,
as
Christ
is
mercifull
to
sustaine
and
preserue
vs
:
and
if
the
Diuell
deuise
any
new
way
to
hurt
vs
,
Christ
is
present
with
new
meanes
,
and
new
supply
of
grace
to
releeue
vs
.
A
comfortable
doctrine
and
hath
comfortable
vse
to
all
that
are
any
way
distressed
.
For
if
it
be
satisfaction
to
a
man
in
matters
of
this
life
where
hee
hath
a
potent
enemy
,
that
is
able
many
waies
,
and
much
to
hurt
him
,
to
be
assured
that
he
hath
a
friend
that
most
deerly
loues
him
,
and
is
wiser
,
stronger
,
wealthier
and
euery
way
mightier
then
his
aduersary
:
then
doubtlesse
it
cannot
but
minister
strong
consolation
to
a
distressed
soule
and
terrified
conscience
to
remember
that
they
haue
a
Sauior
more
mighty
in
his
mercy
,
then
the
diuell
can
be
in
his
malice
,
and
more
willing
to
saue
then
the
diuell
can
be
to
destroy
.
And
no
lesse
vnto
the
penitent
sinner
,
who
may
hereupon
be
assured
that
though
he
haue
to
grapple
with
many
and
mighty
corruptions
,
yet
Christ
will
be
ready
with
continuall
supply
of
grace
,
that
so
where
sinne
abounds
grace
may
abound
much
more
.
The
man
also
that
is
oppressed
in
this
world
with
the
might
and
multitude
of
his
enemies
may
here
receiue
comfort
to
consider
,
that
there
are
still
more
with
him
,
then
against
him
:
And
lastly
,
the
poore
man
,
whom
the
floud
of
outward
misery
doe
beate
vpon
,
may
here
see
for
his
comfort
that
the
loue
and
prouidence
of
his
Sauiour
shall
euer
be
as
ready
to
releeue
him
,
as
the
worlds
occasions
can
fall
out
to
pinch
him
.
And
to
make
application
:
It
may
yeeld
vs
much
satisfaction
who
are
ingaged
in
this
present
action
,
to
consider
that
though
satan
seeke
to
make
vs
desist
,
and
because
he
cannot
,
therefore
will
hurt
vs
,
by
all
his
power
;
(
as
who
can
maruel
seeing
we
touch
his
freehold
so
neere
?
)
yet
we
haue
Christ
Iesus
on
our
side
,
whose
kingdome
we
goe
to
inlarge
:
whose
loue
to
his
children
is
such
,
that
euen
then
when
satan
sifts
them
most
narrowly
,
he
with
his
praiers
is
most
neere
them
for
their
assistance
:
And
therefore
we
doubt
not
,
but
that
seeing
satan
is
now
so
busie
to
sift
vs
by
all
discouragements
,
and
by
slanders
,
false
reports
,
backwardness
of
some
,
basenesse
of
others
,
by
raising
obiections
and
deuising
doubts
,
endeauours
to
dant
vs
,
and
so
to
betray
the
businesse
that
God
himselfe
hath
put
into
our
hands
:
the
more
I
say
are
we
assured
that
Christ
will
the
more
mightily
oppose
this
malice
of
the
diuell
,
and
by
his
glorious
intercession
,
obtaine
from
his
father
so
much
the
greater
blessing
both
on
vs
and
it
.
Furthermore
,
in
as
much
as
Christ
himselfe
that
their
faith
shall
not
saile
,
no
not
in
the
greatest
temptations
,
and
when
satan
sifts
them
most
narrowly
,
wee
learne
,
that
therefore
a
christian
truly
conuerted
and
called
to
the
state
of
grace
,
cannot
fall
away
totally
nor
finally
.
The
aduersaries
of
the
grace
of
God
the
Papists
,
hold
he
may
fall
both
finally
and
totally
:
others
much
neerer
vs
then
they
,
say
totally
,
but
not
finally
.
Both
are
confuted
by
these
words
of
our
Sauiour
;
for
if
a
man
should
fall
totally
from
faith
and
the
fauour
of
God
,
though
it
were
but
for
a
day
,
and
the
next
day
should
bee
restored
againe
,
yet
for
that
time
,
be
it
more
or
lesse
,
his
faith
hath
failed
:
But
saith
Christ
,
I
haue
praied
that
it
shall
not
.
Hereupon
we
argue
;
That
which
Christ
praieth
for
God
will
grant
:
But
Christ
praieth
(
not
that
we
may
not
be
tempted
or
sifted
,
but
)
that
our
faith
faile
not
,
and
this
not
for
Peter
alone
,
but
as
himselfe
saith
,
I
pray
not
for
these
alone
,
but
for
all
that
shall
beleeue
in
me
through
their
word
:
therefore
no
true
In
reason
,
we
know
a
gracelesse
child
will
neither
be
feared
from
euill
by
the
anger
,
nor
wonne
to
his
duty
by
the
loue
of
his
father
:
but
contrary
is
it
with
the
good
and
gratious
child
(
I
meane
if
he
haue
no
more
but
the
grace
of
a
ciuill
nature
and
good
education
:
)
if
his
father
so
loue
him
that
though
he
often
offend
him
,
yet
he
will
not
disinherit
him
,
will
he
therefore
be
imboldned
to
offend
him
the
more
carelesly
?
Nay
,
he
will
say
to
himselfe
,
Haue
I
so
good
a
father
as
will
not
deale
with
me
according
to
my
deseruings
,
but
so
oft
and
so
mercifully
hath
forgiuen
my
offences
?
surely
I
will
endeuour
by
all
the
meanes
I
can
to
please
him
and
to
bee
worthy
of
such
a
father
.
Much
more
is
it
true
in
religion
,
for
when
a
man
is
conuerted
,
he
is
cast
in
a
new
mould
,
flesh
and
bloud
no
longer
beare
rule
in
him
,
and
hee
bids
battell
and
stands
in
opposition
and
defiance
with
all
such
carnall
resolutions
as
this
is
.
I
say
not
,
but
such
thoughts
may
come
into
his
mind
,
and
hee
may
be
tempted
to
such
cogitations
,
but
that
hee
should
entertaine
such
resolutions
it
is
impossible
:
Beleeue
not
me
herein
;
but
let
God
himselfe
be
Iudge
:
to
which
end
read
and
marke
well
a
notable
place
:
I.
Ioh.

3.
We
shall
be
like
vnto
him
,
and
shall
see
him
euen
as
he
is
.
And
euery
man
that
hath
this
hope
in
him
,
doth
he
therefore
sinne
the
more
,
or
take
more
scope
to
himselfe
?
No
,
but
contrariwise
,
purgeth
himselfe
euen
as
Christ
is
pure
.
He
therefore
that
sinneth
the
rather
,
it
is
certaine
he
hath
not
this
hope
in
him
;
and
he
that
hath
this
hope
in
him
is
so
far
from
that
,
that
he
endeuoreth
and
striueth
euery
day
,
how
he
may
ouercome
his
sins
and
walke
more
worthy
of
so
louing
and
mercifull
a
father
.
So
then
the
true
vse
of
this
doctrine
is
,
that
it
serues
to
bee
an
excellent
incitement
to
stir
vp
and
prouoke
a
man
vnto
holinesse
,
vnlesse
he
purpose
to
proclaime
to
the
world
that
hee
hath
no
hope
in
him
,
and
that
he
is
not
in
the
state
of
grace
.
In
the
third
place
we
may
here
learne
,
what
is
out
of
vs
,
euen
in
God
:
It
is
the
stablenes
of
his
purpose
,
the
immutability
of
his
election
,
the
truth
of
his
couenant
,
the
infallibility
of
his
word
,
and
the
certainty
of
his
loue
wheresoeuer
hee
bestoweth
it
:
and
the
excellency
and
all
sufficiency
of
Christs
merits
,
in
whom
we
are
loued
and
elected
:
therefore
saith
the
the
gifts
and
callings
of
God
are
without
repentance
:
and
whom
he
loueth
,
he
loueth
vnto
the
end
:
I
will
put
my
feare
into
their
hearts
,
and
they
shall
not
(
marke
,
he
saith
not
,
they
cannot
or
will
not
,
but
they
shall
not
)
depart
from
Peter
,
sathan
desires
to
sift
thee
as
wheat
;
and
such
a
sister
is
hee
as
who
can
stand
by
his
owne
strength
?
but
I
who
so
loued
thee
as
I
died
to
saue
thee
,
haue
also
praied
for
thee
that
thy
faith
shall
not
saile
.
So
then
had
it
not
beene
for
the
intercession
of
Christ
,
Peter
had
faine
and
failde
in
that
temptation
.
This
truth
may
fitly
be
illustrated
by
this
comparison
.
A
strong
man
visits
his
sicke
friend
,
and
willes
him
to
walke
;
the
sicke
man
would
,
but
cannot
;
the
strong
man
lifts
him
vp
,
he
walkes
,
in
the
hand
of
the
strong
man
,
ech
hauing
hold
of
other
:
by
and
by
the
sicke
man
faints
and
lets
his
hold
goe
,
but
the
strong
man
holds
fast
,
and
keeps
him
from
falling
,
and
so
he
stands
not
by
his
owne
,
but
the
strong
mans
strength
:
So
is
it
in
this
case
,
A
christian
conuerted
hath
hold
of
God
by
his
faith
and
loue
:
God
hath
hold
of
him
by
his
eternall
election
and
couenant
of
grace
and
by
the
loue
he
beares
him
in
Christ
:
now
we
walke
with
God
in
the
course
of
our
obedience
,
but
if
temptation
come
,
we
shrinke
and
fall
away
,
our
faith
and
loue
,
like
a
sick
mans
strength
are
soone
spent
.
But
then
,
though
we
let
goe
the
hold
we
haue
of
God
,
God
will
neuer
let
goe
the
hold
he
hath
of
vs
;
but
in
that
loue
he
beares
vs
,
he
still
vpholds
vs
:
and
so
we
stand
not
by
our
own
strength
but
by
the
grace
and
mercie
of
God
,
who
like
the
stronger
man
holds
vs
so
,
as
we
shall
not
depart
from
him
.
Then
for
the
vse
of
this
doctrine
we
may
here
learne
:
first
that
the
Romish
Synagogue
in
denying
this
,
and
affirming
that
a
man
may
fall
vtterly
from
the
state
of
grace
,
doth
no
wrong
at
all
to
vs
,
but
the
wrong
is
to
God
himselfe
,
the
certainty
of
whose
couenant
and
truth
of
whose
purpose
is
heereby
called
into
question
,
as
though
God
should
chuse
a
man
he
will
forsake
,
and
loue
him
to
day
,
whom
he
will
hate
the
next
:
whereas
contrariwise
,
as
he
loued
vs
when
we
loued
not
him
,
so
hee
will
keepe
fast
hold
on
vs
,
when
wee
in
our
weaknesse
would
let
goe
the
hold
wee
haue
of
him
.
And
for
our selues
,
let
this
teach
vs
to
ascribe
the
cause
where
it
is
due
,
euen
to
the
Lords
mercie
and
Christs
mediation
.
If
wee
slip
or
fall
,
we
may
thanke
our selues
:
but
if
we
stand
and
perseuere
,
we
must
thanke
the
Lord
:
Let
vs
therefore
crie
to
God
with
the
Prophet
:
Not
vnto
vs
O
Lord
,
not
vnto
vs
,
but
to
thy
name
giue
the
praise
.
And
why
he
praied
for
him
that
his
faith
failed
not
,
and
so
vpheld
him
by
the
vertue
and
merit
of
his
holy
praier
;
we
learne
here
the
excellencie
of
praier
,
namely
,
that
it
is
the
best
and
pourfullest
meanes
,
whereby
wee
may
doe
good
one
to
another
:
when
Christ
would
doe
the
greatest
fauour
to
Peter
next
to
dying
for
him
,
he
praieth
If
thou
pray
(
saith
Augustine
)
thou
speakest
with
God
:
If
thou
heare
or-read
,
God
speakes
with
thee
.
Both
are
commended
to
vs
by
the
continuall
practise
of
Christ
,
who
spent
much
time
in
preaching
,
and
much
time
in
praier
.
Let
vs
therefore
religiously
embrace
both
these
sacred
ordinances
,
as
the
speciall
meanes
of
our
spirituall
comfort
.
And
by
this
practise
of
our
Sauiour
let
vs
all
be
stirred
vp
to
this
holy
duty
:
Shall
Christ
pray
,
and
not
thou
?
Is
he
tied
,
and
wilt
thou
be
free
?
Bee
ashamed
of
thy
prophanenesse
,
thou
that
neuer
praiest
:
and
say
not
that
thou
goest
to
the
Church
,
and
praiest
with
the
congregation
,
for
therin
thou
doest
but
that
the
Law
requires
thee
:
the
Church
is
to
be
commended
for
that
,
and
not
thou
.
But
remember
that
Christ
besides
his
daily
presence
in
the
Temple
,
did
goe
aside
to
his
priuate
praiers
.
And
let
vs
further
heere
learne
one
to
pray
for
another
.
Shall
Christ
pray
for
vs
,
and
not
we
for
our selues
?
he
for
vs
all
,
and
not
we
one
for
an
other
?
And
the
better
to
stirre
vs
vp
to
this
dutie
,
let
vs
consider
that
praier
hath
three
excellencies
aboue
other
duties
which
wee
performe
to
our
brethren
.
First
,
it
is
the
cheapest
and
easiest
for
the
giuer
(
I
meane
to
a
sanctified
man
)
for
he
who
for
want
of
abilitie
cannot
giue
almes
,
nor
lend
to
his
poore
brother
;
nor
for
want
of
wisdome
can
giue
counsell
,
nor
instruction
for
want
of
knowledge
,
yet
he
hath
a
mouth
,
at
least
if
his
tongue
were
cut
out
,
he
hath
a
heart
to
pray
for
his
brother
;
and
he
that
can
doe
nothing
else
can
doe
this
:
and
this
the
poore
may
doe
for
the
rich
,
as
well
as
the
rich
for
the
poore
.
Secondly
,
it
is
the
most
powerfull
and
profitable
for
the
receiuer
.
An
almes
wee
see
how
much
it
is
:
Counsell
we
see
how
good
it
is
;
and
what
good
they
will
doe
vs
is
easily
perceiued
:
but
what
good
a
good
mans
praier
doth
for
thee
is
past
knowledge
,
and
beyond
all
measure
.
Giuing
and
lending
may
helpe
thee
before
men
:
praier
preuailes
with
God
,
and
puls
downe
blessings
of
all
sorts
;
and
those
good
things
we
often
imagine
to
come
other
waies
,
are
sent
vs
from
God
vpon
the
praiers
of
Gods
children
.
Thirdly
,
it
hath
this
peculiar
honour
more
then
any
other
duty
,
that
it
is
profitable
both
to
the
giuer
and
receiuer
.
As
it
procures
those
good
things
vpon
thy
friend
thou
praiest
for
,
so
it
returnes
also
into
thine
owne
bosome
,
and
brings
downe
the
same
or
greater
blessings
vpon
thy selfe
.
Therefore
(
for
a
conclusion
of
the
first
part
)
let
vs
aboue
all
duties
not
forget
to
pray
for
our
absent
friends
.
When
they
are
present
wee
doe
such
duties
as
may
let
them
see
wee
loue
them
:
and
when
they
are
absent
,
let
vs
pray
for
them
;
that
doth
testifie
to
God
that
we
loue
them
.
And
no
better
dutie
can
we
performe
to
this
noble
voiage
now
in
hand
,
then
earnestly
to
commend
it
to
the
Lord
.
Men
may
furnish
it
,
but
God
must
blesse
it
,
and
praier
must
procure
that
blessing
.
Money
may
winne
,
and
profit
may
allure
men
to
assist
it
:
but
praier
alone
can
preuaile
with
God
to
blesse
it
.
Some
ingage
their
persons
,
and
more
their
purses
;
but
our
petitions
shall
doe
more
good
then
our
persons
,
and
our
praiers
then
our
purses
.
Thou
therefore
that
canst
doe
nothing
else
,
yet
pray
for
vs
:
thou
that
canst
doe
more
,
yet
pray
besides
:
for
though
thou
shouldest
venture
thy
person
,
and
ingage
thy
money
,
yet
let
vs
haue
thy
praiers
also
:
which
(
if
thou
bee
as
thou
oughtest
)
will
doe
more
good
then
all
the
rest
.
Remember
the
end
of
this
voiage
is
the
destruction
of
the
diuels
kingdome
,
and
propagation
of
the
Gospell
.
Are
not
these
ends
worthy
of
thy
praiers
?
Remember
thy
brethren
who
haue
ingaged
their
persons
,
and
aduentured
their
liues
to
lay
the
first
foundation
,
and
doe
now
liue
in
want
of
many
comforts
and
pleasures
,
which
thou
at
home
enioiest
.
Are
not
these
mens
soules
worthy
of
thy
praiers
?
Canst
thou
open
thy
mouth
in
publike
or
in
priuate
,
and
not
remember
them
?
Oh
let
their
liues
be
precious
,
and
their
enterprise
honourable
in
thine
eies
:
and
if
thou
canst
doe
nothing
else
,
send
vp
thy
praiers
to
heauen
for
them
.
And
thus
much
for
the
first
generall
part
,
Christs
mercifull
promise
to
his
Church
.
The
second
is
the
duty
he
inioines
Peter
and
all
others
that
shall
be
partakers
of
this
promise
.
Therefore
when
thou
art
conuerted
strengthen
thy
As
the
promise
,
so
also
the
comandement
vpon
the
occasion
then
offred
was
personally
directed
to
Peter
,
but
from
him
deriued
to
the
whole
Church
,
and
euery
particular
Christian
:
so
that
this
commandement
is
laid
vpon
him
,
not
as
an
Apostle
,
but
as
a
Christian
man
and
a
member
of
Christs
body
:
and
as
his
case
then
may
be
the
case
of
any
man
,
so
euery
man
is
bound
to
this
dutie
:
And
as
there
is
no
Christian
but
may
challenge
this
interest
in
the
intercession
of
Christ
,
that
by
the
vertue
of
it
his
faith
shall
not
faile
:
so
there
is
no
man
,
but
in
his
measure
hee
is
tied
to
the
performance
of
this
dutie
.
For
the
sense
of
the
words
they
are
not
difficult
:
Satan
hath
taken
vantage
of
thy
infirmitie
,
and
hopes
to
giue
thee
such
a
fall
,
as
thou
shalt
neuer
recouer
:
but
I
will
beare
thee
vp
with
my
owne
strength
:
I
will
make
thy
faith
to
hold
out
,
and
ouercome
him
in
the
end
.
Thou
therefore
when
thou
hast
tasted
of
my
mercie
,
and
art
raised
vp
againe
from
that
fall
,
(
which
was
so
dangerous
and
fearefull
,
that
thy
restoration
is
as
it
were
another
conuersion
)
then
bee
mindfull
of
thy
brethren
,
as
I
haue
beene
of
thee
,
and
by
thy
example
and
all
other
good
meanes
helpe
forward
the
conuersion
and
confirmation
of
them
that
need
.
The
meaning
is
plaine
:
let
vs
come
to
the
doctrines
.
And
first
of
all
,
whereas
Christ
saith
,
When
thou
art
conuerted
,
&c.
wee
learne
,
that
a
man
is
not
borne
in
the
state
of
grace
,
and
fauour
of
God
,
but
there
is
a
certaine
appointed
time
of
euery
mans
conuersion
:
When
thou
art
:
therefore
there
is
a
time
when
a
man
is
not
.
Now
the
time
of
a
mans
conuersion
is
first
especially
in
Gods
hand
,
but
partly
also
in
our
owne
.
For
the
first
,
Dauid
saith
,
My
times
(
O
Lord
)
are
in
thy
hand
.
If
all
the
times
He
sent
out
his
word
and
healed
them
,
saith
the
Prophet
.
It
is
also
in
a
mans
hand
when
God
vouchsafes
to
giue
a
man
the
meanes
of
vocation
and
conuersion
(
as
to
vs
at
this
day
:
)
this
time
is
therefore
called
the
acceptable
time
and
day
of
saluation
.
Now
then
it
Christ
looked
at
him
:
for
that
was
the
blessed
looke
vpon
vs
.
Now
though
his
corporall
presence
be
remooued
,
he
is
present
in
his
spirit
,
in
his
power
and
his
grace
,
and
lookes
mercifully
vpon
vs
euery
day
in
his
holy
word
.
Oh
then
remember
Peter
,
who
at
the
first
looke
of
Christ
went
out
and
wept
for
his
sinne
,
and
bee
ashamed
that
thou
hast
had
Christ
looke
so
many
hundred
times
vpon
thee
,
and
all
in
vaine
.
In
the
next
place
,
wheras
Christ
bids
Peter
when
he
is
conuerted
,
strengthen
his
brethren
,
as
though
then
a
man
was
fitted
to
doe
good
to
others
,
when
he
is
himselfe
conuerted
,
and
not
till
then
:
wee
may
heere
learne
the
true
cause
why
men
are
so
negligent
in
performance
of
duties
to
others
,
euen
because
themselues
are
vnsanctified
men
:
for
true
loue
begins
at
home
:
and
how
can
hee
loue
another
,
that
loues
not
himselfe
?
or
care
for
anothers
good
,
that
neglects
his
owne
?
Seest
thou
therefore
a
Magistrate
that
gouernes
not
his
people
carefully
,
but
le
ts
all
runne
as
it
will
,
and
himselfe
takes
his
ease
,
followes
his
pleasure
,
or
fils
his
purse
?
The
cause
is
,
he
is
a
carnall
man
,
and
vnsanctified
.
Seest
thou
a
Minister
that
receiues
the
fleece
,
but
feeds
not
the
flocke
?
The
cause
is
,
he
is
an
vnsanctified
man
.
Seest
thou
a
Merchant
or
tradesman
that
deceiues
,
a
master
,
a
father
,
a
husband
,
a
wife
,
childe
,
or
seruant
,
that
are
negligent
or
vnfaithfull
?
The
cause
is
,
they
are
vnsanctified
:
for
if
a
man
were
conuerted
himselfe
,
his
next
care
will
be
to
doe
all
good
he
can
to
others
.
More
particularly
,
wee
heere
see
the
cause
why
no
more
come
in
to
assist
this
present
purpose
of
plantation
in
Virginea
,
euen
because
the
greater
part
of
men
are
vnconuerted
&
vnsanctified
men
,
and
seeke
meerely
the
world
and
themselues
,
and
no
further
.
They
make
many
excuses
,
and
deuise
obiections
;
but
the
fountaine
of
all
is
,
because
they
may
not
haue
present
profit
.
If
other
voiages
be
set
afoot
,
wherein
is
certaine
and
present
profit
,
they
run
,
and
make
meanes
to
get
in
:
but
this
,
which
is
of
a
more
noble
and
excellent
nature
,
and
of
higher
and
worthier
ends
,
because
it
yeelds
not
present
profit
,
it
must
seeke
them
,
and
with
much
difficultie
are
some
brought
in
,
and
many
will
not
at
all
.
Tell
them
of
getting
XX.
in
the
C.
oh
how
they
bite
at
it
,
oh
how
it
stirres
them
!
But
tell
them
of
planting
a
Church
,
of
conuerting
10000.
soules
to
God
,
they
are
senslesse
as
stones
:
they
stirre
no
more
then
if
men
spoke
of
toies
and
trifles
:
nay
they
smile
at
the
simplicities
,
and
laugh
in
their
sleeues
at
the
sillinesse
of
such
as
ingage
themselues
in
such
matters
.
But
these
men
proclaime
to
the
world
what
they
bee
,
euen
Sowes
that
still
wallow
in
the
mire
of
their
profit
and
pleasure
,
and
being
themselues
vnconuerted
,
haue
therefore
no
care
to
conuert
others
.
And
in
deed
no
maruell
,
if
hauing
cast
all
care
of
their
owne
saluation
behinde
their
backes
,
they
be
insensible
of
others
miseries
.
Thirdly
,
inasmuch
as
heere
Christ
commands
him
that
is
conuerted
to
strengthen
another
,
it
appeares

And
Paul
he
cricth
,
I
wish
all
beere
present
were
as
I
am
,
except
these
bonds
.
Lastly
,
out
of
this
commandement
of
Christ
we
confirmt
his
brethren
,
therefore
it
lies
vpon
all
men
by
an
vnauoidable
necessity
to
performe
it
:
it
being
no
way
in
the
power
of
man
to
dispence
with
the
generall
commandement
of
Christ
.
Out
of
which
ground
appeareth
euideutly
,
not
only
the
lawfulnesse
,
but
euen
;
the
excellencie
and
we
are
not
conuerted
,
or
they
are
not
our
brethren
,
or
els
that
we
being
conuerted
must
labour
their
conuersion
:
But
we
by
the
blessing
of
God
are
conuerted
lately
from
Popery
,
and
formerly
from
paganisme
:
Nor
can
it
be
denied
that
they
(
in
this
case
)
are
our
brethren
:
for
the
same
God
made
them
as
well
as
vs
,
of
as
good
matter
as
he
made
vs
,
gaue
them
as
perfect
and
good
soules
and
bodies
as
to
vs
,
and
the
same
Messiah
&
sauiour
is
sent
to
them
as
to
vs
,
for
if
a
Virginian
hauing
our
language
had
learned
our
religion
,
professed
our
f●ith
;
craued
baptisme
,
and
challenged
saluation
by
Christ
:
could
either
man
deny
him
baptisme
,
or
would
God
deny
him
saluation
?
Surely
God
would
not
the
one
,
and
man
may
not
the
other
:
so
then
they
are
our
brethren
,
wanting
not
title
to
Christ
,
but
the
knowledge
of
Christ
:
Oh
thrice
happy
then
are
they
that
shall
carry
the
knowledge
to
them
:
and
we
by
the
mercy
of
God
are
the
men
to
whom
God
hath
offered
the
meanes
and
opportunity
to
do
it
:
first
granting
vs
the
meanes
to
discouer
the
land
more
fully
then
those
that
attempted
it
before
vs
:
then
,
to
find
out
a
faire
,
easie
,
and
short
passage
,
as
though
hee
had
seated
vs
here
and
them
there
for
such
an
entercourse
:
then
,
giuing
vs
fauour
in
the
eies
of
the
sauages
,
who
rather
inuite
vs
then
resist
vs
:
then
,
directing
vs
to
a
land
where
is
want
of
inhabitants
,
and
consequently
roome
both
for
them
and
vs
;
and
to
a
people
inclinable
(
as
we
see
by
some
experience
already
)
first
to
ciuility
,
and
so
to
religion
:
and
to
such
a
land
and
such
a
people
as
(
more
then
any
other
people
or
land
we
know
of
)
haue
the
commodities
which
we
want
,
and
want
that
which
we
haue
for
them
.
These
meanes
and
opportunities
,
I
say
,
being
offered
by
Gods
prouidence
vnto
vs
,
it
not
only
shewes
vs
the
possibility
,
but
laies
vpon
vs
a
necessity
of
seeking
their
conuersions
,
and
consequentlie
of
setting
forward
this
plantation
,
without
which
the
former
cannot
be
:
And
do
not
thinke
that
this
dutie
lieth
more
vpon
him
or
him
then
vpon
thee
,
for
what
euer
thou
art
,
if
thou
be
conuerted
,
this
duty
belongs
vnto
thee
to
teach
others
:
Kings
themselues
are
not
priuiledged
from
the
obedience
of
this
duety
,
which
Dauia
knowing
full
well
,
doth
publikely
acknowledge
to
God
and
to
his
Church
,
saying
:
Restore
me
to
the
ioy
of
thy
saluation
,
and
stablish
mee
with
thy
free
spirit
.
Then
sha'l
I
teach
thy
way
vnto
the
wicked
,
and
sinners
shall
be
conuerted
vnto
thee
:
and
in
another
place
,
Come
(
saith
he
)
ye
children
,
hear
ken
to
me
,
I
will
teach
you
the
feare
of
the
Lord
:
as
though
he
most
gratious
and
christian
King
hath
shewed
himselfe
conscionablie
obedient
to
this
commandement
,
setting
forward
this
blessed
businesse
by
his
princely
priuiledges
and
gratious
grants
vnder
his
great
seale
to
all
the
vndertakers
:
recording
it
also
vnto
all
ensuing
posterities
,
that
he
greatly
affects
the
effectuall
prosecution
and
happy
successe
of
the
said
plantation
,
and
commends
the
good
desires
of
the
vndertakers
,
and
grants
these
priuiledges
for
their
encouragement
in
accomplishing
so
excellent
a
worke
that
is
so
much
pleasing
to
God
and
profitable
to
these
kingdomes
.
And
in
a
former
grant
,
that
his
Maiesty
greatly
commends
and
gratiously
accepts
the
vndertakers
desires
for
so
noble
a
worke
,
which
by
Gods
blessing
is
like
to
tend
to
the
great
glory
of
his
diuine
Maiesty
,
in
propagating
of
christian
religion
to
such
people
as
yet
liue
in
darknesse
and
miserable
ignorance
of
the
true
knowledge
and
worship
of
God
.
If
then
his
Maiesty
out
of
his
duty
to
God
,
loue
of
his
religion
,
and
care
of
their
soules
haue
thus
put
to
his
roiall
hand
for
the
furtherance
of
this
blessed
and
worthy
worke
,
who
art
thou
that
wilt
be
free
from
the
bonds
of
this
duty
?
But
besides
this
necessity
of
duty
:
another
necessity
in
nature
and
reason
lieth
vpon
vs
:
for
the
In
what
a
case
had
we
beene
if
God
had
not
sent
some
to
ciuilize
and
conuert
vs
!
And
shall
not
we
now
labour
to
procure
the
same
good
ro
others
?
Otherwise
surely
we
are
most
vnworthy
of
the
fauours
we
haue
receiued
.
Nay
that
is
not
all
,
but
it
appeares
that
we
are
not
truly
and
effectually
conuerted
:
for
if
wee
be
,
then
assuredly
as
by
vertue
of
Gods
commandement
Wee
must
,
so
out
of
our
owne
conscience
and
fellow-feeling
of
our
brethrens
miseries
,
We
will
be
most
willing
and
ioifull
to
procure
them
saluation
,
where
of
wee
by
Gods
mercie
and
the
same
meanes
are
alreadie
partakers
.
Out
of
these
grounds
I
conclude
,
that
for
my
part
(
without
preiudice
to
others
opinions
)
it
is
not
only
a
lawfull
,
but
a
most
excellent
and
holie
Countenance
,
Power
,
and
Authoritie
(
as
doe
our
gracious
Soueraigne
and
noble
Prince
)
or
with
their
persons
,
as
some
;
or
with
their
purses
,
as
others
of
the
Honorable
and
godly
vndertakers
:
or
with
their
prayers
and
best
wishes
,
as
al
,
I
hope
,
doe
,
that
loue
the
Lord
.
But
because
the
first
part
of
this
assistance
belongs
onely
to
our
Soueraigne
,
none
can
therefore
,
nay
none
neede
take
part
in
that
:
and
as
for
the
last
,
which
is
by
prayer
,
seeing
that
the
poore
may
do
as
well
as
the
rich
,
I
hope
I
may
spare
my
labour
to
exhort
to
that
,
none
being
so
prophane
to
neglect
that
dutie
for
vs
,
vnlesse
they
neglect
it
for
themselues
also
.
But
for
the
middle
,
of
purse
and
person
;
as
I
will
presse
none
to
goe
in
person
:
so
those
whose
consciences
and
resolutions
doe
presse
themselues
,
I
doubt
not
to
affirme
that
they
aduenture
their
liues
in
the
most
worthie
action
that
was
attempted
in
the
Christian
world
these
many
yeeres
.
But
for
assistance
by
the
purse
,
I
will
here
discharge
my
owne
conscience
;
which
is
,
that
vpon
the
premisses
before
proued
,
and
grounds
formerly
laid
downe
,
I
hold
euery
one
that
knowes
the
true
ends
of
this
enterprise
,
and
is
able
,
is
bound
to
assist
it
according
to
that
abilitie
of
his
.
But
lest
any
man
mistaking
or
abusing
my
words
,
should
here
cauill
and
say
;
Belike
then
this
man
holds
all
damned
that
are
not
aduenturers
to
Virginea
,
and
it
is
a
sure
signe
of
a
prophane
man
,
if
he
be
not
an
vndertaker
in
that
action
,
or
the
like
:
Take
notice
that
my
assertion
is
qualified
with
these
two
limitations
:
First
,
that
a
man
must
know
the
true
state
of
this
businesse
,
and
true
grounds
and
ends
both
of
his
Maiesties
gratious
grants
,
and
of
the
vndertakers
aduenture
:
which
as
they
be
ignorantly
mistaken
by
many
,
so
most
malignantly
and
malitiously
misreported
by
Papists
,
who
mislike
all
things
done
by
Protestants
,
and
others
of
base
minde
,
couetous
,
or
otherwaies
maleuolent
spirits
,
who
condemne
all
things
that
serue
not
their
profit
or
their
pleasure
.
But
it
is
most
certaine
that
there
be
thousands
in
this
citie
and
kingdome
,
who
if
they
knew
the
truth
,
would
be
more
willing
to
assist
it
,
then
hitherto
they
haue
kept
out
:
such
therefore
wee
are
farre
from
condemning
,
but
leaue
them
till
they
be
satisfied
of
the
truth
,
and
then
if
they
change
not
their
opinion
,
their
owne
consciences
will
condemne
them
,
if
none
else
would
.
Secondly
,
though
a
man
know
it
neuer
so
well
,
hee
must
bee
of
abilitie
to
contribute
,
or
else
this
ties
him
not
:
for
a
man
is
bound
first
to
maintaine
himselfe
and
his
family
,
and
to
beare
his
part
of
the
needfull
burthens
of
the
Church
and
State
where
he
liues
:
then
out
of
that
which
remaines
,
such
actions
as
this
doe
challenge
a
part
.
Now
whether
a
man
be
able
or
no
,
hee
must
be
left
to
his
own
conscience
to
giue
iudgement
.
But
herein
let
a
man
take
heed
hee
flatter
not
himselfe
:
it
is
easie
for
men
to
decciue
themselues
,
and
the
diuell
delights
to
make
men
betray
their
owne
soules
:
thou
therefore
that
pleadest
thou
art
not
able
,
consider
how
much
thou
hast
abroad
at
Interest
,
how
much
thou
hast
in
other
aduentures
,
into
which
nothing
but
hope
of
present
profit
did
allure
thee
:
consider
how
much
thou
spendest
in
sports
and
other
vanities
,
(
besides
necessarie
recreation
)
how
much
in
plaine
superfluities
of
apparell
,
furniture
,
building
or
diet
,
all
which
it
may
be
,
or
much
of
it
,
were
better
spared
then
spent
:
if
thou
and
thy
conscience
doe
but
cast
vp
this
account
,
thou
wilt
neuer
say
hereafter
,
thou
art
vnable
,
for
thou
knowest
how
smal
a
part
of
those
vaine
expences
would
haue
sufficed
this
:
and
that
that
hath
done
thee
hurt
,
being
vainely
spent
,
would
haue
done
much
good
to
this
godly
businesse
:
and
take
heed
,
thou
that
art
of
this
minde
,
the
time
come
not
that
thy
soule
wisheth
a
great
part
of
that
thou
hast
voluntarily
and
wilfully
cast
away
otherwaies
,
were
all
bestowed
in
this
or
some
such
action
.
Thus
with
these
two
cautions
I
make
my
conclusion
,
that
the
assistance
of
this
businesse
is
a
dutie
that
lies
on
all
men
:
and
that
whosoeuer
is
of
abilitie
,
and
knowes
the
true
grounds
and
ends
of
this
voyage
,
if
hee
assist
it
not
,
discouers
himselfe
to
be
an
vnsanctified
,
vnmortified
,
and
vnconuerted
man
,
negligent
of
his
owne
and
other
mens
saluations
:
or
else
Peter
might
haue
replied
on
Christ
and
said
:
Nay
sir
,
I
may
be
conuerted
,
and
yet
be
not
bound
to
strengthen
my
brethren
.
And
this
may
suffice
for
the
true
meaning
and
right
vse
of
this
text
.
But
now
(
right
Honorable
and
beloued
)
seeing
know
it
not
,
for
the
iustification
of
our
course
against
the
aduersaries
of
all
excellent
exploits
,
for
the
stopping
of
the
mouthes
of
the
malignant
,
and
for
the
better
satisfaction
and
encouragement
of
our selues
,
who
either
in
purse
or
person
,
or
both
,
are
ingaged
in
the
action
,
to
descend
a
little
more
particularly
into
consideration
of
the
true
state
hereof
.
All
I
haue
to
say
I
will
reduce
to
two
heads
,
namely
,
to
lay
downe
truly
The
encouragements
.
The
discouragements
in
this
businesse
.
For
in
this
or
any
other
action
to
be
vndertaken
,
if
the
encouragements
to
it
,
and
discouragements
from
it
,
be
both
of
them
truly
&
iustly
laid
down
,
and
then
weighed
in
the
balance
of
wisedome
,
it
will
easily
appeare
to
men
of
vnderstanding
,
whether
the
businesse
be
fitter
to
be
vndertaken
,
or
relinquished
:
Answerably
let
vs
deale
in
the
present
action
,
and
so
proceed
accordingly
.
And
first
let
vs
truly
and
impartially
propound
plantation
of
an
English
Colonie
in
Virginea
.
The
first
and
fundamentall
is
the
doubt
of
lawfulnes
of
the
action
,
the
question
being
moued
by
many
,
and
some
not
out
of
curiositie
,
nor
other
sinister
,
but
conscionable
and
Christian
respects
:
and
this
keepes
many
from
assisting
it
;
for
how
may
they
put
their
helping
hands
to
that
which
they
are
not
resolued
in
conscience
,
to
be
lawfull
and
warrantable
in
it selfe
?
For
these
mens
sakes
,
and
not
for
such
as
make
it
but
a
shelter
of
their
couetous
and
carnal
respects
,
we
will
giue
passage
to
this
obiection
.
And
for
answere
hereunto
;
first
,
we
freely
confesse
an
action
cannot
be
good
,
excellent
or
honorable
,
and
much
lesse
can
it
be
necessarie
,
vnlesse
it
first
of
all
appeare
to
be
lawfull
:
secondly
,
for
the
present
action
,
we
also
confesse
and
yeeld
to
this
as
to
a
principle
of
Iustice
.
A
Christian
may
take
nothing
from
a
Heathen
against
his
chuse
where
hee
would
,
and
take
it
:
No
,
saith
Abraham
,
but
I
will
buie
it
,
and
so
he
paide
the
price
of
it
:
so
must
all
the
children
of
Abraham
doe
.
Thirdly
,
it
is
most
lawfull
to
exchange
with
other
Nations
,
for
that
which
they
may
spare
,
and
it
is
lawfull
for
a
Christian
to
as
he
did
to
the
Israelites
of
the
cursed
Canaanites
,
whom
they
were
commaunded
to
kill
,
and
haue
nothing
to
doe
withall
:
But
we
haue
no
such
commaundement
touching
the
Virginians
.
Vpon
these
grounds
,
which
I
hope
are
vndeniable
,
I
answere
more
particularly
to
the
present
occasion
:
that
first
we
will
take
nothing
from
the
Sauages
by
power
nor
pillage
,
by
craft
nor
violence
,
neither
goods
,
lands
nor
libertie
,
much
lesse
life
(
as
some
of
other
Christian
nations
haue
done
,
to
the
dishonour
of
reiigion
.
)
We
will
offer
them
no
wrong
,
but
rather
defend
them
from
it
:
and
this
is
not
my
bare
speech
,
but
order
is
so
taken
both
in
our
Pattents
and
Instructions
,
and
such
is
the
resolution
of
our
Gouernours
.
Secondly
,
we
will
exchange
with
them
for
that
they
may
spare
,
and
we
doe
neede
;
and
they
shall
haue
that
which
we
may
spare
,
and
they
doe
much
more
need
.
But
what
may
they
spare
?
first
,
land
and
roome
for
vs
to
plant
in
,
their
countrey
being
not
replenished
by
many
degrees
:
in
so
much
as
a
great
part
of
it
lieth
wild
&
inhabited
of
none
but
the
beasts
of
the
fielde
,
and
the
trees
that
haue
growne
there
it
may
be
1000.
yeares
(
whose
antient
possession
to
disturbe
,
we
holde
no
great
offence
:
)
and
who
knowes
not
,
but
as
the
present
state
of
England
stands
,
we
want
roome
,
and
are
likely
enough
to
want
more
?
Againe
,
they
may
spare
vs
Timber
,
Masts
,
Crystall
Wine
,
Copper
,
Iron
,
Pitch
,
Tar
,
Sassasras
,
Sopeashes
,
(
for
all
these
and
more
,
we
are
sure
the
Countrey
yeeldes
in
great
abundance
)
and
who
knowes
not
we
want
these
,
and
are
beholden
to
some
for
them
,
with
whom
it
were
better
for
vs
if
we
had
lesse
to
doe
?
These
things
they
haue
,
these
they
may
spare
,
these
we
neede
,
these
we
will
take
of
them
.
But
what
will
we
giue
them
?
first
,
we
will
giue
them
such
things
as
they
greatly
desire
,
and
doe
holde
a
sufficient
recompence
for
any
of
the
foresaide
commodities
we
take
of
them
:
but
we
holde
it
not
so
;
and
therefore
out
of
our
humanitie
and
conscience
,
we
will
giue
them
more
,
namely
such
things
as
they
want
and
neede
,
and
are
infinitely
more
excellent
then
all
wee
take
from
them
:
and
that
is
1.
Ciuilitie
for
their
bodies
,
2.
Christianitie
for
their
soules
:
happy
men
;
the
first
to
couer
their
bodies
from
the
shame
of
the
world
:
the
second
,
to
couer
their
soules
from
the
wrath
of
God
:
the
lesse
of
these
two
(
being
that
for
the
bodie
)
will
make
them
richer
then
we
finde
them
.
For
he
that
hath
1000.
acres
,
and
being
a
ciuill
and
sociable
man
knowes
how
to
vse
it
,
is
richer
then
he
that
hath
20000.
and
being
a
sauage
,
cannot
plow
,
till
,
plant
nor
set
,
and
so
receiues
no
more
profit
then
what
the
earth
of
it
selfe
will
yeelde
by
nature
:
so
that
we
are
so
farre
from
disinheriting
them
of
their
possessions
,
or
taking
any
thing
from
them
,
that
contrariwise
we
will
make
them
much
richer
,
euen
for
matter
of
this
life
,
then
now
they
are
,
as
they
themselues
will
hereafter
confesse
.
Whereby
appeares
the
vanitie
of
this
obiection
,
for
when
they
are
ciuilized
,
and
see
what
they
haue
receiued
from
vs
,
I
dare
say
they
will
neuer
make
this
obiection
against
if
we
communicate
vnto
them
our
spirituall
things
,
it
is
but
a
a
small
thing
if
they
impart
vnto
vs
their
temporall
:
then
how
much
smaller
is
it
if
they
impart
vnto
vs
their
temporall
,
when
we
communicate
vnto
them
both
spirituall
and
better
temporall
then
we
receiue
from
them
.
And
this
may
suffice
for
the
lawfulnesse
of
the
action
,
especially
seeing
whosoeuer
would
be
satisfied
more
particularly
,
This
discouragement
troubled
the
conscience
,
the
rest
are
rather
grounded
on
politike
and
humane
reasons
,
wherein
therefore
I
will
bee
the
shorter
,
and
commit
them
to
those
whose
element
it
is
to
consider
and
determine
of
such
matters
.
The
second
discouragement
,
is
the
difficultie
of
farre
off
,
and
the
passage
long
and
dangerous
,
the
climate
hot
and
disagrecing
with
the
state
and
temper
of
our
bodies
.
For
answere
,
if
these
obiections
proceede
from
malice
,
they
are
to
be
reiected
,
if
from
ignorance
,
as
we
rather
suppose
,
let
them
then
know
for
satisfaction
,
that
first
for
the
distance
,
it
is
nothing
enemies
countrie
;
no
rocks
,
shelues
,
sands
,
nor
vnknowne
Ilands
lie
in
our
way
:
we
are
not
in
danger
of
the
Turkes
gallies
,
nor
other
enemies
of
Christian
religion
(
who
neuer
yet
did
peepe
out
of
the
straits
of
Gibraltar
:
)
we
feare
no
congealed
seas
nor
mountaines
of
Ice
,
to
immure
vs
:
But
after
we
are
out
of
our
owne
dores
(
the
narrow
Seas
)
wee
keepe
a
faire
course
,
betwixt
the
Sunne
in
the
South
on
the
left
hand
,
and
the
Ice
in
the
North
on
the
right
,
vpon
the
maine
Ocean
,
where
we
haue
sea
roome
enough
:
And
it
is
hard
to
name
any
other
great
voiage
from
this
land
,
but
the
passage
is
subiect
either
to
the
vntemperate
heate
of
the
Sunne
on
the
one
side
,
or
the
danger
of
the
Ice
on
the
other
side
;
witnesse
the
voyages
to
the
East
Indies
,
and
others
into
the
south
,
and
to
Moscouie
,
Danske
,
and
others
into
the
North
and
East
:
onely
this
passage
into
Virginea
,
being
into
the
West
South-west
,
or
thereabouts
,
is
in
that
true
temper
so
faire
,
so
safe
,
so
secure
,
so
easie
,
as
though
God
himselfe
had
built
a
bridge
for
men
to
passe
from
England
to
Virginea
.
And
let
no
wise
man
obiect
that
our
last
fleete
was
dispersed
and
sore
shaken
by
a
storme
;
for
he
cannot
but
know
that
such
as
saile
by
sea
must
as
well
expect
tempests
of
winde
,
as
trauellers
on
the
land
shewers
of
raine
,
and
as
he
on
the
land
is
but
a
simple
swaine
,
as
the
prouerbe
is
,
that
lets
his
businesse
for
a
shewer
of
raine
,
no
lesse
is
he
that
feares
to
saile
on
the
sea
for
a
tempest
of
winde
:
but
our
comfort
is
,
that
as
the
heauens
cannot
giue
raine
of
themselues
,
but
it
is
the
Lord
:
nor
the
windes
can
rise
of
themselues
,
but
at
Gods
word
the
stormie
winde
ariseth
,
and
lifteth
vp
the
waues
of
the
Ocean
:
So
neither
Sea
nor
winde
are
in
the
hand
or
power
of
the
diuell
nor
the
Pope
,
for
if
they
were
,
we
should
neuer
plant
nor
land
at
Virginea
.
As
to
the
third
,
which
is
the
Climate
,
let
vs
not
our
brethren
in
Virginea
,
who
some
of
them
haue
been
there
many
yeeres
,
and
doe
not
complaine
of
any
alteration
,
caused
by
distemper
of
the
Climate
.
The
third
discouragement
is
,
that
it
hath
so
For
answere
,
I
say
,
many
greater
States
(
then
being
but
seuentie
soules
,
and
were
there
but
about
two
hundred
yeeres
,
or
little
Mistresse
of
the
world
.
Oh
but
those
that
go
in
person
are
rakte
vp
out
of
the
refuse
,
and
are
a
number
of
disordred
men
,
vnfit
to
bring
to
passe
any
good
action
:
So
indeed
say
those
that
lie
and
slander
.
But
I
answere
:
for
the
generalitie
of
them
that
goe
,
they
be
such
as
offer
themselues
voluntarily
,
for
none
are
pressed
,
none
compelled
:
and
they
be
like
(
for
ought
that
I
see
)
to
those
are
left
behind
,
euen
of
all
sorts
better
and
worse
.
But
for
many
that
goe
in
person
,
let
these
obiecters
know
,
they
be
as
good
as
themselues
,
and
it
may
be
,
many
degrees
better
.
But
as
tell
them
a
sale
,
not
vnfitting
them
,
but
I
will
spare
this
place
and
audience
,
not
them
.
But
I
will
repeate
them
a
true
storie
,
and
leaue
it
to
themselues
to
make
application
.
When
God
had
moued
the
heart
of
Artaxerxes
to
send
Nehemiah
,
and
a
few
with
him
,
to
restore
Ierusalem
Sanballat
the
Horonite
,
and
Tobiah
an
Ammonite
,
and
mocked
the
Iewes
,
and
spake
in
the
hearing
of
their
companions
,
What
doe
these
weake
Iewes
?
will
they
fortifie
?
will
they
sacrifice
?
will
they
finish
it
in
a
day
?
they
build
,
saith
another
;
but
if
a
fox
goe
vp
he
will
breakdowne
their
stonie
wall
:
and
are
not
the
like
scornefull
words
muttered
against
vs
and
this
present
voyage
?
But
what
were
these
mockers
?
euen
Horonites
and
Ammonites
,
and
such
as
had
no
portion
,
nor
right
,
nor
memoriall
in
Ierusalem
:
I
wish
better
to
our
mockers
,
though
they
wish
so
euill
to
vs
:
but
let
them
take
heede
,
though
they
care
not
for
hauing
portions
with
vs
in
this
aduenture
,
that
yet
they
haue
their
right
and
portion
and
memoriall
in
Ierusalem
,
or
else
they
will
proue
mockers
of
vs
in
iest
,
and
of
themselues
in
earnest
.
But
what
saith
Nehemiah
and
the
Iewes
that
thus
were
flouted
?
Heare
O
our
God
,
for
wee
are
despised
,
and
turne
their
shame
vpon
their
owne
head
,
giue
them
vnto
a
prey
in
the
land
of
their
captiuitie
,
couer
not
their
iniquitie
,
nor
let
their
sinne
be
put
out
in
thy
presence
,
for
they
haue
prouoked
vs
before
the
builders
.
Farre
be
it
from
me
and
vs
all
thus
to
say
of
ours
:
but
contrariwise
I
pray
God
this
curse
be
farre
from
our
mockers
,
but
I
also
pray
they
may
be
as
farre
from
deseruing
it
.
But
if
any
with
no
mocking
spirit
nor
ill
mind
,
doe
only
for
his
owne
satisfaction
further
obiect
that
we
send
men
that
cannot
liue
here
,
men
that
are
in
debt
,
men
of
base
fashion
:
Indeed
thus
said
Nabal
the
churle
,
of
Dauid
and
his
companie
reprochfully
,
terming
them
,
a
rout
of
vnruly
seruants
that
runne
away
from
their
masters
,
and
base
fellowes
of
whom
I
know
not
whence
they
are
,
1.
Sam.
25.
10
,
11.
But
hoping
that
these
doe
obiect
out
of
better
mindes
,
I
answere
,
first
,
this
is
true
for
some
,
not
all
,
and
so
it
is
in
euery
towne
in
England
.
Secondly
,
wee
doe
and
must
send
such
as
we
can
,
not
such
as
we
would
.
Thirdly
,
if
they
were
all
,
or
the
most
,
such
as
is
obiected
,
it
is
no
more
then
wee
haue
obserued
to
be
the
beginners
of
great
and
noble
actions
:
Remember
who
and
what
they
were
that
came
to
Romulus
and
Remus
,
and
were
the
founders
of
the
Romane
Citie
&
State
,
euen
such
as
no
man
can
without
impudencie
compare
ours
with
them
.
If
any
man
say
,
this
is
a
prophane
example
,
and
a
base
president
:
let
him
looke
into
Gods
booke
,
and
see
who
kept
with
Dauid
,
and
were
the
beginners
of
the
kingdome
of
Iudah
:
There
gathered
vnto
Dauid
all
men
that
were
in
trouble
,
and
all
that
were
in
debt
,
and
all
that
were
vext
in
minde
:
and
Dauid
was
their
Prince
,
and
they
were
about
foure
hundred
men
.
See
for
their
number
but
foure
hundred
:
and
for
their
qualitie
,
who
were
they
?
three
sorts
:
first
,
me
that
had
done
some
trespasses
against
the
law
,
and
therfore
were
in
trouble
:
secondly
,
such
as
were
in
debt
,
and
could
not
pay
:
thirdly
,
such
as
were
malecontent
at
the
proceedings
of
the
State
in
the
times
of
Saul
,
and
discontented
at
his
gouernment
:
A
strange
kinde
of
people
,
and
a
poore
number
(
a
man
would
thinke
)
to
be
the
founders
and
reformers
of
such
a
kingdome
.
But
thus
hath
God
vsed
to
set
on
foote
,
and
lay
the
beginnings
of
greatest
his
power
might
be
seene
in
weaknesse
,
and
that
it
might
appeare
to
be
the
work
of
God
and
not
mens
:
&
that
therefore
the
glorie
might
be
his
.
Thus
deales
he
in
things
naturall
,
humane
,
politike
and
spirituall
.
For
the
first
,
we
see
he
made
confused
chaos
,
and
the
beautifull
Sunne
and
starres
out
of
a
deformed
heape
.
For
the
second
,
wee
see
the
mightiest
sillie
women
.
And
thirdly
,
forthings
spirituall
,
the
glorious
Church
of
the
Kings
to
be
her
nursing
fathers
,
and
Queenes
her
nursing
mothers
,
and
Princes
to
licke
the
dust
of
her
feete
;
was
it
not
begun
by
twelue
poore
men
,
not
worthie
to
bee
looktat
,
and
taken
most
of
them
from
base
,
and
some
from
bad
occupations
:
No
maruell
then
though
it
be
so
also
in
the
politike
bodie
.
Did
not
God
found
the
first
world
on
the
only
two
sonnes
of
Adam
,
and
the
second
on
the
three
sons
of
Noah
;
and
were
not
one
of
Adams
two
,
and
one
of
Noahs
three
apparantly
wicked
?
Were
not
heere
two
strange
beginnings
both
for
number
and
for
condition
?
But
thus
God
can
and
will
doe
,
that
men
may
see
it
,
and
seeing
may
haue
cause
to
say
:
A
Domino
factum
est
istuc
;
This
is
not
mans
power
nor
wit
,
but
,
this
is
the
Lords
doing
,
and
it
is
maruellous
in
our
eyes
.
If
any
doe
yet
further
replie
and
say
:
But
it
natiue
countrey
,
and
from
the
licentiousnesse
and
too
much
libertie
of
the
States
where
they
haue
liued
,
into
a
more
bare
and
barren
soile
,
as
euery
countrie
is
at
the
first
,
and
to
a
harder
course
of
life
,
wanting
pleasures
,
and
subiect
to
some
pinching
miseries
,
and
to
a
strict
forme
of
gouernement
,
and
seuere
discipline
,
doe
often
become
new
men
,
euen
as
it
were
cast
in
a
new
mould
,
and
proue
good
and
worthie
instruments
and
members
of
a
Common-wealth
:
Witnesse
the
companions
of
Romulus
and
Remus
,
that
were
the
founders
of
the
Romane
State
.
And
if
you
will
haue
a
more
infallible
testimonie
,
looke
into
the
Scriptures
,
call
to
minde
the
men
that
came
to
Dauid
,
qualified
as
you
heard
before
,
men
in
danger
of
law
,
men
in
debt
,
and
discontented
persons
.
Our
base
churles
would
roundly
answer
like
Nabal
,
Are
these
Dauids
companions
?
are
these
his
partakers
?
such
fellowes
as
these
,
that
bee
the
scumme
and
skouring
of
the
streetes
,
and
raked
vp
out
of
the
kennels
,
are
like
to
be
the
founders
of
a
worthie
state
.
But
see
the
shallownes
of
these
mens
conceits
:
for
when
those
men
had
liued
a
while
in
Dauids
fashion
,
and
been
trained
vp
vnder
his
discipline
,
they
were
so
altered
and
refined
,
that
many
of
them
(
all
being
some
foure
hundred
(
no
more
then
a
Virginean
fleete
)
became
worthie
to
bee
of
the
honorable
order
of
Dauids
Worthies
,
or
Mightie
men
,
and
proued
great
statesinen
in
the
Common-wealth
,
and
all
of
he
brought
vp
all
those
men
euery
man
with
his
household
,
and
they
dwelt
in
the
Cittes
of
Hebron
,
long
continuance
,
which
is
ripe
and
rotten
for
want
of
reformation
,
will
easily
be
brought
into
order
in
a
new
gouernment
:
and
no
lesse
good
reasons
are
there
why
there
is
and
will
be
better
gouernment
,
and
better
execution
of
lawes
in
a
little
territorie
,
then
in
a
great
and
populous
kingdome
,
and
in
a
new
begun
rather
then
in
an
old
and
setled
State
:
the
truth
whereof
many
of
you
(
right
Honorable
and
beloued
)
doe
better
conceiue
then
I
can
expresse
.
As
to
the
small
number
of
our
aduenturers
,
besides
that
which
was
said
before
,
let
vs
further
consider
how
Dauids
kingdom
began
with
poore
foure
hundred
men
.
But
what
saith
the
text
?
His
there
came
more
day
by
day
to
Dauid
to
helpe
him
,
vntill
it
was
a
great
host
like
the
host
of
God
.
Euen
so
wee
doubt
not
,
but
as
God
hath
alreadie
augmented
our
numbers
farre
aboue
the
expectation
of
many
in
the
beginning
:
so
he
will
also
stirre
vp
the
minds
of
worthie
and
generous
men
to
assist
this
blessed
businesse
in
purse
and
person
,
vntill
it
be
growne
as
Dauids
foure
hundred
,
to
be
as
as
an
host
of
God
:
and
I
doubt
not
to
see
the
day
that
men
shall
speake
of
this
plantation
as
is
spoken
in
another
case
;
though
thy
beginning
be
small
,
yet
thy
latter
and
shall
greatly
increase
.
The
next
discouragement
is
,
that
the
Countric
God
with
his
owne
voice
gaue
the
Israelites
the
land
of
Canaan
,
and
in
the
word
of
his
truth
told
them
it
was
a
good
land
,
and
they
should
ouercome
the
heathen
,
and
enioy
it
.
Would
a
man
thinke
that
after
this
any
durst
haue
affirmed
the
plaine
contrarie
?
Yet
marke
what
followed
.
A
little
afore
they
came
to
take
possession
,
God
bad
them
send
men
to
search
it
:
and
such
were
sent
as
a
good
land
,
saith
God
:
No
,
say
they
,
it
is
a
land
not
worth
dwelling
in
,
for
it
eates
vp
the
inhabitants
therof
.
You
shall
ouercome
them
,
wee
are
not
able
to
goe
vp
against
this
people
.
Thus
you
(
right
Honorable
and
Worshipfull
)
that
speake
well
of
Virginea
,
and
cannot
be
beleeued
,
be
content
,
God
himselfe
,
you
see
,
was
thus
vsed
,
and
can
you
look
for
better
?
But
though
these
men
(
like
men
,
or
more
like
monsters
)
durst
thus
(
as
the
holy
Ghost
saith
)
bring
vp
an
euill
report
of
the
land
,
which
they
The
land
which
wee
walked
thorow
is
a
very
good
land
;
if
the
Lord
loue
vs
he
will
bring
vs
vnto
it
;
and
feare
not
the
people
of
the
land
,
for
the
Lord
is
with
vs
.
And
see
the
vile
nature
of
the
multitude
,
when
they
gaue
place
to
their
furious
passions
,
they
rather
beleeued
those
ten
that
spoke
euill
,
out
of
their
owne
base
feare
,
then
these
two
that
spoke
the
truth
,
and
no
more
then
God
had
spoke
before
them
;
nay
they
would
not
indure
to
heare
it
well
spoken
of
,
and
therefore
cut
them
off
in
the
midst
of
their
relation
,
and
outragiously
cried
,
stone
them
with
stones
;
dare
they
false
reporters
that
had
so
slandered
that
good
land
;
Those
men
shall
die
by
the
plague
before
the
Lord
.
You
shall
neuer
see
it
,
your
carcases
shall
fall
in
the
wildernesse
:
but
your
children
,
which
you
said
should
be
a
prey
to
the
heathen
,
they
shall
go
in
and
possesse
the
land
which
you
haue
refused
.
Thirdly
,
on
those
two
that
spake
for
the
truth
,
and
stood
to
it
with
danger
of
their
liues
:
Ioshua
and
Caleb
shall
liue
,
and
I
will
bring
them
into
the
land
,
and
their
seede
shall
inherit
it
.
This
was
the
iust
sentence
of
the
righteous
God
,
which
accordingly
was
executed
vpon
them
all
.
Now
how
fitly
this
storie
resembles
the
present
businesse
we
haue
in
hand
,
I
leaue
it
to
others
to
make
application
of
the
particulars
.
I
onely
say
thus
much
:
The
Israelites
had
a
commandement
from
God
to
dwell
in
Canaan
,
we
haue
leaue
to
dwell
in
Virginea
:
commanded
to
kill
the
heathen
,
we
are
forbidden
to
kill
them
,
but
are
commanded
to
conuert
them
:
they
were
mighty
people
,
ours
are
ordinarie
:
they
armed
,
ours
naked
:
they
had
walled
townes
,
ours
haue
scarce
houels
to
couer
them
:
that
land
flowed
with
milke
and
honie
,
our
abounds
with
as
good
or
better
:
they
sent
men
to
search
that
,
so
we
to
search
this
:
they
brought
of
the
commodities
,
so
haue
we
:
many
slandered
that
countrey
,
so
they
doe
ours
:
more
beleeued
the
slander
then
the
trueth
,
and
so
they
doe
of
ours
:
yet
some
stoode
boldly
for
the
trueth
,
and
so
there
doe
in
ours
,
and
better
then
those
that
doe
depraue
it
.
And
as
two
of
the
twelue
resisted
the
slaunder
,
whereby
the
diuell
had
not
a
full
Iurie
:
So
though
many
slanderers
open
their
mouthes
against
vs
and
our
land
,
For
how
can
they
speake
good
things
when
themselues
are
euill
?
yet
I
hope
it
is
hard
to
finde
that
euer
twelue
good
men
and
true
(
as
a
Iurie
must
be
)
did
agree
together
to
speake
euill
of
it
,
and
so
I
doubt
not
,
the
diuell
shall
neuer
get
a
verdict
against
vs
.
But
God
whose
cause
we
vndertake
,
will
euer
and
in
all
companies
haue
a
Caleb
or
Iosua
ready
to
speake
the
trueth
,
and
put
the
slanderers
to
silence
.
There
remaines
the
application
of
the
iudgements
and
executions
,
but
that
belongs
not
to
me
;
It
is
the
Lords
to
inflict
:
the
The
next
discouragement
,
is
the
hard
and
miserable
conditions
of
them
that
goe
and
stay
there
,
I
answere
,
first
,
doe
we
purpose
to
attempt
and
our
forefathers
conquered
kingdomes
,
subdued
their
enemies
,
conuerted
heathen
,
ciuilized
the
Barbarians
,
and
fetled
their
common-wealths
:
nay
they
exposed
themselues
to
frost
and
colde
,
snow
and
heate
,
raine
and
tempests
,
hunger
and
thirst
,
and
cared
not
what
hardnesse
,
what
extremitie
,
what
pinching
miseries
they
endured
,
so
they
might
atchieue
the
ends
they
aimed
at
:
and
shall
wee
thinke
to
bring
to
passe
a
matter
of
this
honour
and
excellencie
,
which
the
ages
to
come
shall
stand
amazed
to
beholde
,
and
not
to
endure
much
corporall
hardnesse
?
What
was
there
euer
excellent
in
the
world
that
was
not
difficult
?
Nay
Secondly
I
answere
,
this
obiection
yeeldes
no
mecocks
and
milksops
,
as
we
are
now
,
they
had
neuer
expulsed
the
Danes
,
nor
ouercome
the
French
;
we
had
neuer
quartered
the
armes
of
France
,
nor
crowned
our
kings
in
Paris
:
we
had
neuer
taken
so
many
forraine
Kings
in
the
fielde
,
and
sometimes
on
their
owne
ground
:
we
had
neuer
made
the
mightiest
Emperours
seeke
alliance
and
marriages
with
vs
,
and
some
of
them
to
come
in
person
into
our
land
,
and
fight
vnder
the
banners
and
pay
of
our
Kings
.
Thus
they
with
labour
wonne
,
what
we
with
idlenes
haue
lost
:
for
what
is
there
that
industrie
,
labour
,
paines
and
patience
will
not
winne
,
and
yet
all
those
cannot
winne
so
much
,
as
idlenesse
,
dainties
,
and
effeminatenesse
will
easilie
lose
:
witnesse
for
proofe
hereof
,
our selues
and
our
neighbours
of
the
lowe
countries
:
who
can
but
wonder
that
will
obserue
,
what
the
Hollanders
were
an
hundred
yeares
agoe
,
how
wonder
of
nations
?
Let
some
ascribe
this
to
a
fortunate
Constellation
,
others
to
other
causes
,
but
all
wise
men
may
casily
perceiue
that
this
grew
only
from
these
two
rootes
,
of
Industrie
and
Vnitie
:
both
of
them
being
perfected
with
a
valour
and
resolution
of
heart
to
endure
any
thing
,
so
they
might
attaine
the
honorable
ends
they
proposed
to
themselues
:
(
which
whether
they
haue
not
now
attained
,
and
that
in
so
braue
a
fashion
as
is
to
the
worlds
admiration
,
I
can
say
but
little
,
but
let
wise
men
iudge
.
)
The
premisses
considered
,
were
it
not
good
for
vs
if
our
people
were
inured
wine
in
boles
,
and
stretchest
thy selfe
vpon
the
bed
of
lazinesse
,
and
followest
nothing
but
pleasure
after
pleasure
;
canst
not
thou
,
I
say
,
be
content
to
see
others
take
in
hand
noble
enterprises
,
but
thou
must
depriue
them
of
their
due
praises
,
and
bring
them
vnder
the
compasse
of
thy
base
censure
?
If
the
action
be
honorable
and
excellent
,
then
either
do
thou
attempt
it
,
not
withstanding
the
difficulties
;
or
if
thou
darest
not
,
at
least
honor
them
that
dare
.
This
should
be
my
answere
if
the
voyage
were
attended
with
as
many
difficulties
and
miseries
as
these
men
doe
,
or
any
can
imagine
.
But
now
I
answer
more
particularly
,
that
if
our
hand
of
God
,
and
force
of
tempest
,
which
neither
humane
wit
could
foresee
,
nor
strength
withstand
.
Or
suppose
something
was
miscarried
by
negligence
,
haste
,
or
other
humane
infirmitie
;
shall
one
staine
blemish
the
beautie
of
so
faire
a
businesse
?
shall
one
particular
miscariage
,
ouerturne
the
frame
,
or
condemne
the
substance
of
the
whole
action
?
Surely
wisedome
and
good
reason
will
not
admit
it
.
And
to
conclude
,
seeing
it
is
knowne
to
all
,
that
know
any
thing
in
this
matter
,
that
the
principal
(
if
not
the
only
)
wound
in
this
businesse
hath
been
the
want
of
gouernment
,
there
is
now
care
taken
,
that
(
by
the
blessing
of
God
)
there
neuer
shall
bee
want
of
that
againe
:
which
being
once
setled
,
we
doe
very
well
know
that
there
will
nothing
else
be
wanting
(
in
a
short
time
after
)
needfull
for
the
comfort
of
mans
life
:
In
the
meane
time
wee
care
not
(
I
speake
in
their
names
who
goe
in
person
,
of
whom
out
of
my
owne
heart
I
could
wish
to
be
one
my selfe
)
I
say
we
care
not
what
we
indure
,
as
long
as
we
go
forward
in
comming
neerer
to
those
high
and
excellent
ends
,
which
in
the
beginning
wee
proposed
to
our selues
.
The
next
discouragement
is
,
the
vncertaintie
of
profit
,
and
the
long
time
that
it
must
be
expected
,
base
an
obiection
.
If
there
be
any
that
came
in
only
or
principally
for
profit
,
or
any
that
would
so
come
in
,
I
wish
the
latter
may
neuer
bee
in
,
and
the
former
out
againe
.
If
the
planting
of
an
English
Colonie
,
in
a
good
and
fruitfull
soile
,
and
of
an
English
Church
in
a
heathen
countrey
;
if
the
conuersion
of
the
Heathen
,
if
the
propagating
of
the
Gospell
,
and
inlarging
aduenture
their
money
haue
respected
the
same
ends
,
I
wish
for
my
part
the
one
in
England
again
,
and
the
other
had
his
money
in
his
purse
;
nay
it
were
better
that
euery
one
gaue
something
to
make
vp
his
aduenture
,
then
that
such
Nabals
should
thrust
in
their
foule
feete
,
and
trouble
so
worthie
a
businesse
.
And
I
could
wish
(
for
my
part
)
that
the
proclamation
which
God
inioyned
to
bee
made
before
the
Israelites
went
to
battell
,
were
also
made
in
this
case
:
namely
,
that
whosoeuer
is
fainthearted
,
let
him
returne
home
againe
,
lest
his
brethrens
hart
faint
like
his
:
for
the
Coward
not
only
betraieth
himself
,
but
daunts
and
discourageth
others
.
Priuate
ends
haue
been
the
bane
of
many
excellent
exploits
,
and
priuate
plots
for
the
gaine
of
a
few
,
haue
giuen
hindrance
to
many
good
and
great
matters
.
Let
vs
take
heed
of
it
in
this
present
businesse
,
and
all
ioyntly
with
one
heart
aime
at
the
generall
and
publike
ends
,
lest
we
finde
hereafter
to
our
shame
and
griefe
,
that
this
one
flye
hath
corrupted
the
whole
box
of
oyntment
,
though
neuer
so
precious
.
Let
vs
therefore
cast
aside
all
cogitation
of
profit
,
let
vs
looke
at
better
things
:
&
then
I
dare
say
vnto
you
as
Christ
hath
taught
me
,
that
if
in
this
action
wee
seeke
first
the
kingdome
of
God
,
all
other
things
shall
be
added
vnto
vs
:
that
is
(
applying
it
to
the
case
in
hand
)
if
wee
first
and
principally
seeke
the
propagation
of
the
Gospell
and
conuersion
of
soules
,
God
wil
vndoubtedly
make
the
voiage
Gods
blessing
to
make
it
gainfull
:
now
the
high
way
to
obtaine
that
,
is
to
forget
our
own
affections
,
&
to
neglect
our
own
priuate
profit
in
respect
of
Gods
glorie
;
and
he
that
is
zealous
of
Gods
glorie
,
God
will
be
mindfull
of
his
profit
:
and
he
that
seekes
only
or
principally
spirituall
things
,
God
will
reward
him
both
with
those
spirituall
and
temporal
things
.
And
as
,
though
we
may
not
do
wel
to
be
wel
spoken
of
,
yet
if
we
do
wel
,
God
will
make
vs
wel
thought
of
,
and
spoken
of
,
of
all
good
men
:
so
though
we
do
not
intend
our
profit
in
this
action
,
yet
,
if
wee
intend
Gods
honor
,
and
the
conuersion
of
soules
,
God
will
assuredly
send
vs
great
profit
,
which
we
may
take
lawfully
and
thankfully
as
his
blessing
.
But
if
it
be
vrged
further
:
Why
is
there
not
present
profit
,
at
least
after
so
many
voyages
and
supplies
sent
?
I
answere
,
that
profit
is
not
the
principall
end
of
this
action
;
if
it
were
,
what
should
so
many
of
the
Nobilitie
,
of
the
Gentry
,
and
especially
of
the
Clergie
,
haue
their
hands
in
it
?
It
is
not
fit
for
them
to
be
Merchants
:
But
the
high
and
principall
end
being
plantation
,
of
an
English
Church
and
Common-wealth
,
and
consequently
the
conuersion
of
heathen
,
hence
it
is
therefore
that
profit
cannot
be
presently
expected
,
because
we
are
still
to
send
more
supplies
of
men
,
munition
,
instruments
and
tooles
for
all
trades
:
but
when
there
be
sent
so
many
that
they
are
able
to
defend
themselues
,
when
they
haue
emptied
a
sufficient
quantity
of
the
land
from
trees
,
&
made
it
fit
for
corne
,
(
which
is
the
onely
want
in
that
place
)
and
when
they
haue
built
their
Church
and
Towne
,
and
haue
the
gouernment
setled
,
(
all
which
are
at
this
day
(
blessed
be
God
)
in
a
comfortable
forwardnesse
)
then
it
is
time
to
expect
,
and
then
we
are
sure
to
receiue
such
quantitie
of
gaine
,
as
will
giue
full
contentment
to
euery
man
for
his
moneyes
aduentured
:
and
then
for
a
short
time
of
disbursements
,
begins
a
long
time
of
profit
,
euen
so
long
,
as
(
for
ought
that
man
can
foresee
)
it
will
continue
whilest
there
are
men
to
goe
betwixt
the
two
kingdomes
.
The
seuenth
and
last
discouragement
is
,
That
we
haue
many
enemies
and
mighty
,
and
that
therefore
better
liked
of
some
because
it
is
misliked
of
others
:
for
there
neuer
was
noble
action
that
had
not
many
enemies
.
But
what
enemies
haue
we
,
or
are
like
to
haue
?
popish
doctrine
,
that
couenants
with
Heretikes
are
not
to
be
kept
:
we
hope
they
bee
too
wise
and
worthie
a
nation
to
breake
their
oath
of
God
which
they
haue
made
:
they
know
the
story
,
that
when
the
Christians
had
taken
truce
with
the
Turkes
for
a
time
,
and
within
that
time
spying
a
vantage
contrarie
to
their
oath
,
fell
vpon
them
;
God
,
whose
name
was
dishonoured
,
so
disposed
the
matter
,
that
when
in
all
humane
reason
the
Turkes
would
haue
been
slaine
vp
like
sheepe
,
and
not
a
man
left
:
contrariwise
they
had
such
aduantage
offered
them
,
by
Gods
owne
prouidence
,
that
they
were
the
conquerours
and
gaue
the
Christians
one
of
the
foulest
Oh
,
thou
that
diedst
on
the
crosse
,
if
thou
be
a
God
,
powre
out
thy
wrath
and
shew
thy
iustice
on
this
vile
people
that
haue
so
horribly
dishonoured
thee
,
violating
the
oath
they
tooke
in
thy
name
,
which
I
that
sware
by
the
name
of
Mahomet
dare
not
doe
.
If
thus
it
fell
out
to
them
that
brake
oath
with
the
Turkes
,
we
hope
no
Christian
Prince
will
offer
it
to
vs
:
if
they
should
,
we
doubt
not
but
God
himselfe
will
be
our
shield
and
buckler
,
and
make
vs
strong
enough
against
such
enemies
.
Againe
,
the
title
that
Spaine
may
pretend
,
must
Popes
gift
:
as
for
the
Pope
,
we
know
indeede
that
a
Spanish
Pope
gaue
America
to
a
Spanish
King
;
but
the
question
is
what
right
he
had
to
giue
it
,
for
Nemo
dat
quod
non
habet
,
and
they
who
remember
that
long
agoe
he
gaue
away
he
giues
him
all
America
,
which
is
not
actually
possessed
before
by
any
other
Christian
Prince
:
so
that
if
the
graunt
were
good
,
yet
it
seemes
to
follow
,
that
whosoeuer
is
possessed
afore
him
,
hath
right
before
him
.
But
of
this
part
called
Virginea
,
hee
neuer
was
,
and
wee
for
many
yeeres
haue
been
possessed
:
and
whereas
his
grant
is
conditionall
,
that
he
shall
send
Preachers
of
the
Christian
faith
into
those
parts
.
If
wee
doe
not
so
into
ours
,
let
all
Nations
rise
against
vs
,
and
giue
it
to
them
that
better
shall
deserue
it
.

Vpon
these
grounds
,
wee
are
perswaded
that
they
will
neuer
offer
vs
that
indignitie
and
iniustice
:
but
if
they
should
,
wee
hope
then
to
giue
another
answere
.
What
Enemies
then
haue
we
?
the
French
?
Nay
they
are
rather
inclined
to
follow
our
example
,
&
to
plant
in
another
countrey
not
far
from
ours
:
the
same
also
might
I
speake
of
other
Christian
Nations
.
The
sauages
?
Nay
,
they
inuite
vs
,
and
vse
vs
well
:
&
if
they
were
,
a
small
matter
,
as
long
as
they
are
their
owne
enemies
.
But
when
they
are
conuerted
and
loue
their
owne
soules
,
then
they
will
loue
vs
also
,
and
eternize
their
names
who
brought
the
Gospell
to
them
.
Thus
no
enemies
are
yet
found
.
But
I
will
saue
their
labour
:
We
confesse
this
But
first
,
let
no
man
thinke
much
that
I
ioyne
them
together
,
for
I
would
gladly
separate
them
,
but
they
will
not
:
for
who
but
the
Diuell
,
and
Papists
,
and
Players
doe
mocke
at
religion
,
and
abuse
the
holie
Scriptures
?
that
the
Diuell
doth
,
who
doubts
?
that
the
Papists
doe
,
their
many
bookes
doe
witnesse
,
especially
their
damnable
and
hellish
Prurit-anus
:
that
Players
doe
,
too
many
eyes
and
eares
can
witnesse
,
some
to
their
content
,
and
many
to
their
hearts
griefe
.
Seeing
then
they
will
not
be
separated
,
let
them
goe
together
:
the
rather
seeing
they
bee
all
enemies
to
this
noble
action
.
1
The
Diuell
:
and
who
can
blame
him
?
for
we
the
breaker
of
his
head
,
and
who
accordingly
triumphed
ouer
him
on
the
crosse
,
and
ouercame
him
in
the
graue
(
his
owne
denne
)
:
we
goe
to
preach
the
faith
,
against
which
all
the
gates
of
hell
shall
not
preuaile
.
And
for
right
is
Christs
,
and
we
are
for
him
,
and
therefore
doubt
not
but
to
bring
from
heauen
such
an
Iniunction
out
of
the
highest
Court
of
Equitie
,
as
shall
remoue
him
out
of
possession
,
maugre
his
malice
.
Wee
know
his
force
,
his
furie
,
his
malice
,
his
wit
and
subtletie
:
and
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
we
are
not
ignorant
of
his
practises
.
but
him
that
we
serue
:
when
wee
remember
cast
out
diuels
by
the
prince
of
diuels
,
the
sword
of
the
spirit
,
which
is
the
word
of
God
:
for
we
know
heathenisme
to
Christ
,
this
was
that
onely
weapon
with
which
they
ouercame
him
:
and
though
wee
be
not
so
skilfull
fencers
,
nor
can
handle
this
weapon
so
well
as
they
,
yet
wee
know
it
hath
not
lost
his
force
,
but
is
the
sharpe
two
edged
sword
,
in
whose
hand
soeuer
it
is
his
ouerthrow
,
and
the
ruine
of
his
kingdome
in
that
countrey
.
2
For
the
Papists
,
wee
know
they
approue
nothing
their
owne
glorie
,
why
should
not
wee
seeke
Gods
?
If
they
seeke
Gods
glorie
,
wee
haue
cause
to
seeke
it
more
then
they
:
in
such
workes
as
these
wee
will
neuer
breake
from
them
,
we
will
neuer
forsake
them
:
wee
would
ioyne
with
them
to
conuert
the
Heathen
,
wee
would
ioyne
with
them
to
vanquish
the
Turke
.
But
their
blinde
guides
the
Iesuites
tell
them
that
wee
are
cursed
,
and
all
that
partake
with
vs
,
and
that
they
had
better
suffer
Heathen
and
Turkes
then
ioyne
with
vs
.
And
makers
and
Merchants
of
Allom
,
that
belong
not
to
himselfe
,
and
all
others
that
shall
any
waies
inuade
any
of
his
reuenues
or
Patrimonie
:
but
wee
see
they
prosper
better
for
it
;
and
all
Princes
and
States
goe
forward
as
they
can
,
each
one
to
plucke
away
their
feathers
from
him
,
with
which
that
proud
peacock
of
Rome
did
adorne
himselfe
:
and
so
the
time
will
come
shortly
that
the
holy
Ghost
foretold
,
namely
,
that
she
shall
be
left
desolate
and
naked
.
And
thus
as
all
inuade
S.
Peters
Patrimonie
,
(
for
so
hee
calles
his
owne
reuenues
)
haue
not
preuailed
,
but
that
her
glorie
and
wealth
is
decaied
by
many
degrees
:
so
all
his
other
causelesse
curses
doe
now
appeare
(
euen
to
many
of
his
owne
)
to
be
but
flashes
,
and
to
be
such
thunderclaps
as
terrifie
,
but
strike
not
,
and
hurt
no
where
,
but
where
they
are
feared
.
Let
him
then
curse
vs
,
when
hee
would
doe
vs
good
,
for
wee
know
his
curse
shall
fall
on
his
owne
head
,
and
when
he
hath
cursed
vs
,
the
Lord
will
blesse
vs
in
more
abundance
.
And
to
conclude
,
wee
know
well
,
that
as
soone
as
this
intent
and
enterprize
of
our
Nation
is
knowne
at
Rome
,
foorthwith
there
will
bee
a
Consistorie
called
,
and
consideration
will
be
had
(
with
wit
and
policie
enough
)
what
course
may
be
taken
to
crosse
vs
and
ouerturne
the
businesse
.
But
we
are
prepared
for
it
,
and
looke
for
no
lesse
then
all
they
can
doe
:
but
if
they
haue
neuer
a
Gamaliel
left
to
tell
it
them
,
let
me
tell
them
,
that
if
this
worke
be
onely
of
men
,
it
will
come
to
nought
of
it selfe
without
their
helpe
:
but
if
it
be
of
God
,
they
cannot
destroy
it
,
but
shall
be
found
euen
fighters
against
God
.
3
As
for
Plaiers
:
(
pardon
me
right
Honourable
and
beloued
,
for
wronging
this
place
and
your
patience
with
so
base
a
subiect
,
)
they
play
with
Princes
and
Potentates
,
Magistrates
and
Ministers
,
nay
with
God
and
Religion
,
and
all
holy
things
:
nothing
that
is
good
,
excellent
or
holy
can
escape
them
:
how
then
can
this
action
?
But
hee
that
sits
in
heauen
laughes
them
to
scorne
;
because
like
the
flie
they
so
long
play
with
the
candle
,
till
first
it
singe
their
wings
,
and
at
last
burnes
them
altogether
.
But
why
are
the
Players
enemies
to
this
Plantation
and
Idle
persons
in
Virginea
,
which
course
if
it
were
taken
in
England
,
they
know
they
might
turne
to
new
occupations
.
Thus
the
Diuell
,
Papists
,
and
Players
,
(
the
enemies
of
this
action
)
single
them
asunder
,
or
let
them
ioyne
their
forces
,
wee
care
not
for
their
malice
,
wee
seeke
not
their
fauour
:
nay
wee
had
rather
haue
them
all
three
against
vs
then
with
vs
:
and
against
them
all
,
and
all
other
that
shall
maligne
vs
whosoeuer
,
we
say
no
more
but
this
:
he
hath
set
vs
on
worke
that
will
maintaine
vs
:
and
for
our selues
no
more
but
this
;
If
God
be
on
our
side
,
who
can
be
against
vs
?
And
thus
with
an
indifferent
vnpartiall
eye
we
haue
obserued
,
and
laid
downe
all
the
discouragements
that
seeme
to
be
incident
to
this
businesse
:
and
all
,
which
I
euer
heard
,
either
friend
to
feare
,
or
enemy
to
obiect
,
and
haue
answered
them
all
out
of
the
grounds
of
truth
.
Now
let
vs
accordingly
consider
of
the
encouragements
which
God
hath
giuen
vs
,
to
proceede
in
the
prosecution
of
this
enterprise
.
The
first
encouragement
is
,
the
consideration
of
excellencie
of
the
action
in
it selfe
:
this
excellencie
consists
of
these
three
degrees
:
It
is
a
most
lawfull
,
an
honorable
,
and
a
holy
action
.
1
The
lawfulnesse
of
this
enterprize
hath
been
,
I
Secondly
,
the
honour
of
this
action
is
extraordinarie
,
Laitie
,
Nobilitie
,
Gentrie
,
and
Commonaltie
,
Citie
and
Countrie
,
Merchants
and
Tradesmen
,
Priuate
persons
and
Corporations
?
as
though
euery
kinde
and
calling
of
men
desired
to
haue
their
hands
in
so
happie
a
worke
.
All
which
considered
,
giue
me
leaue
to
affirme
(
with
due
respect
to
other
,
and
without
disparagement
to
any
)
that
of
all
voiages
euer
attempted
in
this
Nation
,
The
Virginean
voiage
is
the
most
honour
able
.
Thirdly
,
this
is
also
a
holy
action
,
in
regard
of
the
ends
and
purposes
of
it
:
for
this
action
is
not
these
haue
their
reward
.
But
they
that
vndertake
a
voiage
of
vncertaine
and
future
profit
,
and
certaine
and
present
difficulties
,
and
not
for
profit
,
but
for
the
Gospels
sake
,
let
them
know
,
that
if
hee
that
giues
a
cup
of
cold
water
in
Christs
name
,
and
hee
that
cannot
want
his
reward
:
then
how
liberally
and
bountifully
shall
hee
bee
rewarded
from
the
Lord
his
God
,
who
disburseth
so
great
portions
of
his
estate
,
for
the
releefe
of
distressed
and
miserable
soules
.
And
of
all
the
voiages
and
actions
that
men
meddle
with
in
this
world
,
none
can
yeeld
this
satisfaction
and
comfort
to
the
conscience
that
this
can
:
So
that
this
is
an
enterprise
of
that
worth
&
excellency
,
as
no
other
,
seeing
it
is
not
onely
lawfull
in
it selfe
,
and
therefore
acceptable
to
God
,
but
honourable
before
men
,
and
comfortable
to
the
conscience
of
the
doer
:
and
therefore
euery
wise
and
morall
man
may
be
allured
,
especially
euery
christian
man
may
be
encouraged
to
assist
it
.
The
second
encouragement
is
,
the
consideration
there
are
more
with
vs
then
against
vs
.
Our
principall
friend
and
defender
is
the
Lord
delight
is
with
the
sonnes
of
men
:
euen
this
God
blessed
for
euer
,
whose
cause
it
is
we
go
to
maintain
:
whom
therfore
we
may
hope
to
haue
on
our
side
:
Nay
we
know
we
haue
him
,
and
hee
hath
vouchsafed
1
By
inclining
the
hearts
of
our
mighty
King
&
noble
Prince
,
to
make
themselues
fathers
and
founders
new
Constantines
or
Charles
the
great
:
for
by
the
attempting
and
atchieuing
of
this
great
worke
of
the
heathens
conuersion
,
let
their
highnesses
bee
assured
,
the
ages
to
come
will
stile
them
by
the
glorious
names
of
Iames
the
great
,
and
Great
Henry
:
the
one
for
setting
on
foote
,
the
other
for
seconding
,
and
both
for
protecting
so
great
,
so
gracious
,
and
so
glorious
a
worke
:
This
is
doubtlesse
in
them
,
the
blessed
worke
of
that
mighty
God
,
in
2
Inclining
the
hearts
of
so
many
persons
of
honour
and
high
place
(
who
cannot
go
in
person
)
not
onely
to
grace
the
action
with
their
presence
,
countenance
,
and
commendation
,
but
to
part
with
so
faire
a
portion
of
their
estates
vnto
it
,
without
any
assurance
of
present
profit
for
the
same
.
3
Perswading
so
many
of
our
nation
(
and
many
liues
and
persons
,
for
the
good
of
this
businesse
,
though
it
be
attended
with
neuer
so
many
dangers
&
difficulties
,
&
though
in
the
vulgar
conceit
(
which
commonly
carrieth
most
men
)
so
many
corporall
miseries
are
threatned
on
them
that
be
the
first
aduenturers
in
this
plantation
.
And
this
I
say
was
done
by
Gods
perswasion
;
perswaded
laphet
to
dwell
in
the
tents
of
Fourthly
;
by
inclining
the
hearts
of
the
Sauages
,
Fiftly
,
stirring
vp
the
minds
of
so
many
hundreds
of
good
protestants
and
professors
of
true
the
Lords
doing
and
very
maruellous
in
our
eies
.
Sixtly
by
exciting
so
many
thousand
soules
,
a
soule
that
cost
his
mother
so
many
praiers
and
so
many
teares
cannot
perish
:
So
may
we
say
populus
tantarum
precum
perire
non
potest
:
a
people
that
hath
so
many
a
good
praier
possibly
cannot
perish
.
And
these
sixe
publicke
euidences
wee
haue
(
which
all
the
world
may
take
notice
of
)
that
God
is
on
our
side
,
and
doth
fauourably
accept
the
enterprise
of
ours
of
carrying
the
Gospell
to
this
people
:
Many
more
priuate
fauours
and
encouragements
doth
this
businesse
and
the
vndertakers
of
it
daily
receiue
from
God
,
which
are
all
so
many
testimonies
of
his
louing
fauour
,
to
vs
and
this
action
.
And
thus
we
haue
not
only
cause
to
hope
,
but
do
find
and
feele
it
in
our
experience
that
the
God
of
heauen
is
a
friend
to
this
enterprize
.
Our
next
friend
and
assistant
is
the
glorious
and
innumerable
multitude
of
the
holy
Angels
:
Angels
reioice
when
one
soule
is
conuerted
,
(
which
because
it
might
seeme
strange
,
that
so
many
great
ones
should
ioy
in
the
saluation
of
One
poore
creature
,
therfore
Christ
hath
affirmed
it
with
England
hath
enterprized
the
conuersion
of
Virginia
:
whereby
so
many
thousand
soules
shall
be
brought
to
heauen
:
oh
happy
man
that
shall
helpe
forward
this
worke
,
the
very
Angels
themselues
will
doe
him
honour
and
seruice
:
Againe
if
they
be
sent
out
by
God
for
the
good
of
all
the
elect
,
and
are
commanded
and
are
willing
to
pitch
their
tents
about
euery
one
that
feares
God
,
then
how
much
more
willing
will
they
be
to
assist
,
defend
,
succour
and
protect
vs
in
this
voiage
,
who
go
about
a
worke
which
pleaseth
and
delights
them
aboue
any
one
thing
in
the
world
:
for
it
is
not
said
of
any
thing
that
man
can
doe
,
that
it
makes
the
Angels
in
heauen
reioice
,
but
this
onely
one
the
conuersion
of
soules
.
Lastly
if
it
be
true
that
they
haue
charge
ouer
euery
child
of
God
to
keepe
him
in
all
his
waies
;
then
let
vs
be
assured
that
this
action
being
one
of
the
worthiest
waies
that
euer
a
christian
nation
walked
in
since
the
Apostles
times
,
we
shal
therefore
be
sure
of
the
presence
and
protection
of
Gods
holy
Angels
,
to
bee
with
vs
and
all
our
partakers
,
and
namely
with
you
(
our
right
honorable
Generall
)
and
all
your
company
,
to
preserue
you
by
land
and
sea
,
at
home
and
abroad
,
from
the
diuell
and
all
other
enemies
:
and
though
our
sinnes
or
yours
may
procure
the
contrary
from
Gods
iustice
,
(
which
his
mercy
auert
)
yet
this
I
dare
affirme
,
as
an
vndoubted
truth
,
that
it
is
the
delight
and
ioy
of
those
glorious
creatures
to
doe
you
seruice
for
your
seruice
in
this
action
.
Another
and
a
comfortable
friend
which
we
the
praiers
and
hearty
welwishings
of
all
Gods
children
in
the
world
,
whereof
as
many
as
know
it
doe
particularly
,
and
all
doe
in
generall
tearmes
and
inclusiuely
commend
vs
and
it
to
the
Lord
:
a
mighty
comfort
is
this
to
all
you
that
goe
in
person
,
if
euer
you
should
be
in
want
or
misery
,
danger
,
or
any
distresse
by
sea
or
land
,
to
remember
that
euery
day
in
the
world
there
is
a
sacrifice
offered
to
God
,
and
a
strong
crie
sent
vp
to
heauen
from
millions
of
soules
for
you
.
It
is
very
memorable
how
when
our
noble
Henrie
the
fift
at
this
houre
they
are
praying
for
vs
at
euery
Church
in
England
.
Semblably
may
you
(
right
Honourable
and
beloued
brethren
)
cheer
vp
your
spirits
against
all
doubts
and
dangers
whatsoeuer
,
seeing
you
may
assure
your selues
there
is
scarce
an
houre
can
passe
,
wherein
you
haue
not
the
praiers
of
many
in
England
for
you
.
Thus
you
see
our
enemies
,
the
diuell
,
Papists
and
Players
:
and
you
see
our
friends
,
God
,
good
Angels
,
and
holy
praiers
:
against
the
diuell
we
haue
God
:
against
the
wicked
Papists
holy
Angels
:
against
plaiers
,
Praiers
.
Now
if
the
power
of
the
whole
army
of
Angels
be
vnto
God
,
but
as
a
drop
of
water
to
the
sea
:
and
the
might
of
all
men
be
inferior
to
the
power
of
one
Angell
,
and
yet
the
praiers
of
one
good
man
is
able
to
shake
hell
,
and
make
the
diuell
tremble
(
which
is
the
ringleader
and
chiefe
of
all
our
enemies
)
then
it
is
apparant
enough
that
our
enemies
are
lesse
then
nothing
to
the
friends
that
this
action
hath
.
The
third
encouragement
to
this
businesse
,
free
and
pleasant
and
contented
life
:
And
some
that
go
in
person
,
as
they
are
corrupt
men
may
dreame
of
greater
ease
and
licentiousnesse
,
and
therefore
put
themselues
into
the
businesse
.
But
as
we
are
Christian
men
,
as
we
are
sanctified
men
the
principall
and
predominant
ends
are
of
a
far
more
high
and
excellent
nature
:
and
they
be
of
two
sorts
.
First
,
respecting
the
Sauages
of
that
countrie
:
that
is
,
the
conuersion
of
their
soules
(
after
they
Oh
how
beautifull
are
the
feete
of
them
that
brought
vs
these
glad
tidings
!
Secondly
,
respecting
our
God
,
our selues
,
and
our
religion
:
in
which
respect
our
ends
are
in
this
businesse
to
appease
and
pacifie
the
wrath
of
our
Rom.

16.
and
propitiate
.
Now
of
all
the
sacrifices
of
the
new
Testament
this
is
not
the
least
,
to
offer
vp
a
sacrifice
of
conuerted
Gentiles
to
the
Lord
:
To
me
(
saith
Paul
)
is
this
grace
giuen
of
God
,
that
I
should
be
the
Minister
of
Iesus
Christ
to
the
Gentiles
,
that
the
offering
vp
of
the
Gentiles
might
be
acceptable
,
being
sanctified
by
the
holy
Ghost
.
Now
the
sins
of
this
our
nation
haue
been
horrible
,
our
vnthankfulnesse
for
the
blessings
of
this
last
age
hath
been
intollerable
:
what
can
we
offer
to
the
Lord
better
,
though
not
for
satisfaction
,
yet
for
gratification
,
then
to
offer
vp
a
sacrifice
of
conuerted
Gentiles
?
Secondly
,
to
honour
the
name
of
our
God
Fourthly
,
to
giue
testimony
to
the
world
that
some
sparkes
of
that
spirit
,
which
was
so
plentifull
These
be
the
high
and
soueraigne
ends
of
this
action
:
Now
these
being
first
laid
,
there
follow
others
And
to
adde
one
word
more
,
(
but
it
is
of
much
moment
,
we
shall
hereby
wipe
off
the
staine
that
stickes
vpon
our
nation
since
,
(
either
for
idlenesse
or
some
other
base
feares
,
or
foolish
conceits
)
we
refused
the
offer
of
the
west
Indies
,
made
vnto
vs
by
that
famous
Christopher
Columbus
,
who
vpon
Englands
refusall
,
tendred
it
to
the
Prince
that
And
you
first
of
all
,
right
honourable
and
worshipfull
of
the
Counsell
,
and
the
rest
of
the
vndertakers
there
where
Satans
throne
is
.
Thus
shall
we
honour
our
God
,
our
religion
,
our
nation
,
and
leaue
that
honour
on
our
names
,
which
shall
make
them
flourish
till
the
worlds
end
,
and
(
which
is
all
in
all
.
)
lay
vp
that
comfort
to
our
soules
which
shall
stand
by
vs
at
our
deaths
,
&
speake
for
vs
to
the
great
Iudge
at
the
last
and
great
day
.
And
to
you
(
right
honourable
and
beloued
)
the
God
that
keepeth
cauenant
and
mercie
for
thousands
;
goe
on
with
the
blessing
And
thou
most
noble
Lord
,
whom
God
hath
Abraham
to
goe
from
thy
country
,
and
for
sake
thy
kindred
and
thy
fathers
house
,
to
goe
to
a
Land
which
God
will
shew
thee
,
giue
me
leaue
to
speak
the
truth
:
binde
him
in
chaines
,
and
his
Angels
in
stronger
fetters
then
iron
,
and
execute
vpon
them
the
iudgement
that
is
written
:
yea
it
shall
lead
captiuitie
captiue
,
and
redeeme
the
soules
of
men
from
bondage
.
And
thus
thy
glory
and
honour
of
thy
house
is
more
at
the
last
then
at
the
first
.
Goe
on
therefore
,
and
prosper
with
this
thy
honor
,
Goe
forward
in
the
strength
of
the
Lord
thy
God
,
and
make
mention
of
his
righteousnesse
only
.
Looke
not
at
the
gaine
,
the
wealth
,
the
honour
,
the
aduancement
of
thy
house
that
may
follow
and
fall
vpon
thee
:
but
looke
at
those
high
and
better
ends
that
concerne
the
kingdome
of
God
.
Remember
thou
art
a
Generall
of
English
men
,
nay
a
Generall
of
Christian
men
:
therefore
principally
looke
to
religion
.
You
goe
to
commend
it
to
the
heathen
;
then
practise
it
your
selues
:
make
the
name
of
Christ
honourable
,
not
hatefull
vnto
them
.
Suffer
no
Papists
;
let
them
not
nestle
there
;
nay
let
the
name
of
the
Pope
for
Poperie
be
neuer
heard
of
in
Virginea
.
Take
heed
of
Atheists
the
Diuels
champions
:
and
if
thou
discouer
any
,
make
them
exemplarie
.
And
(
if
I
may
be
so
bold
as
to
aduise
)
make
Atheisme
and
other
blasphemie
capitall
,
and
let
that
bee
the
first
law
made
in
Virginea
.
Suffer
no
Brownists
,
nor
factious
Separatists
:
let
them
keepe
their
conuenticles
elsewhere
:
let
them
goe
and
conuert
some
other
Heathen
,
and
let
vs
see
if
they
can
constitute
such
Churches
really
,
the
Idaeaes
whereof
they
haue
fancied
in
their
braines
:
and
when
they
haue
giuen
vs
any
such
example
,
we
may
then
haue
some
cause
to
follow
them
.
Till
then
we
will
take
our
paterne
from
their
betters
.
Especially
suffer
no
sinfull
,
no
leaud
,
no
licentious
men
,
none
that
liue
not
vnder
the
obedience
of
good
lawes
:
and
let
your
lawes
be
strict
,
especially
against
swearing
and
other
prophanenesse
.
And
though
vaine
swearing
by
Gods
name
be
the
common
and
crying
sinne
of
England
,
and
no
mortall
,
but
a
veniall
sinne

Popish
doctrine

and
your
land
will
flourish
if
this
otherwise
learned
Christ
,
and
(
we
hope
)
will
otherwise
practise
him
,
and
will
declare
by
your
managing
of
this
action
the
power
of
that
true
religion
you
haue
learned
in
England
.
Thus
shall
heauen
and
earth
blesse
you
,
and
for
this
heroicall
aduenture
of
thy
person
and
state
in
such
a
godly
cause
,
the
God
of
heauen
will
make
thy
name
to
bee
remembred
thorowout
all
generations
:
and
thousands
of
people
shall
honour
thy
memorie
,
and
giue
thankes
to
God
for
thee
while
the
world
endureth
.
And
thou
Virginea
,
whom
though
mine
eies
see
thy
God
is
comming
towards
thee
,
and
in
the
meane
time
sends
to
thee
,
and
salutes
thee
with
the
best
blessing
heauen
hath
,
enen
his
blessed
Gospell
.
Looke
vp
therefore
,
and
lift
vp
thy
head
,
for
thy
redemption
draweth
nie
:
and
he
that
was
the
God
of
Israel
,
and
is
still
the
God
of
England
,
will
shortly
I
doubt
not
bring
it
to
passe
,
that
men
shall
say
,
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Virginea
;
and
let
all
Christian
people
say
,
Amen
.
And
this
salutation
doth
my
soule
send
thee
,
O
Virginea
,
euen
this
poore
New-yeeres
Gift
,
who
though
I
be
not
worthy
to
be
thine
Apostle
,
yet
doe
vow
and
deuote
my selfe
to
be
in
England
thy
faithfull
factor
and
sollicitor
,
and
most
desirous
to
do
thee
any
seruice
in
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
our
Sauiour

thine
:
whom
wee
beseech
for
his
precious
blood-shedding
to
aduance
his
standard
amongst
you

that
you
may
