¶
A
Sermon
made
in
the
Chappel
at
the
Gilde
hall
in
London
,
the
.xxix.
day
of
September
,
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
God
.
1574.
before
the
Lord
Maior
and
the
whole
state
of
the
Citie
,
then
assembled
for
the
chusing
of
their
Maior
that
should
then
succéede
in
the
gouernment
of
that
Citie
:
Concionatore
Roberto
Croleo
.
IN
the
Psalme
.
139.
it
is
written
thus
,
Do
not
I
hate
them
(
O
Lord
)
that
hate
thee
?
And
am
not
I
greeued
with
them
that
rise
vp
against
thee
?
Yea
I
hate
them
right
sore
:
euen
as
though
they
were
myne
own
enemies
.
Try
me
(
O
God
)
and
seeke
the
ground
of
my
hart
:
Proue
mee
,
and
examyne
my
thoughtes
.
Looke
well
if
there
be
any
way
of
wickednes
in
me
,
and
leade
me
in
the
way
euerlasting
.
That
Psalme
(
dearely
beloued
in
our
sauiour
Christ
)
in
the
latter
end
wherof
these
foure
verses
are
written
,
being
in
number
.139
.
is
one
of
those
Psalmes
,
which
are
by
order
appointed
to
be
read
this
mornyng
at
the
Mornyng
prayer
:
I
haue
thought
good
therfore
to
take
a
parcell
thereof
to
entreate
of
,
as
offered
by
order
.
The
Prophet
Dauid
doth
in
this
Psalme
shew
him selfe
to
be
myndfull
of
the
maruelous
and
mercyful
prouidence
of
God
towardes
al
his
creatures
:
but
especially
towardes
Man
:
in
whose
creation
,
preseruation
and
gouernment
,
hee
doth
shew
both
his
infinite
wysedome
,
and
almighty
power
.
He
sheweth
hym selfe
also
to
bee
myndeful
of
the
infinite
and
incomprehensible
nature
of
God
,
whych
cannot
be
comprehended
in
heauen
,
or
earth
,
or
in
any
deepe
places
:
but
fylleth
all
places
,
and
is
fylled
or
comprehended
of
none
.
He
fylleth
all
,
and
contayneth
all
:
and
is
not
filled
or
contayned
of
any
.
If
I
go
vp
into
heauen
(
sayth
he
)
thou
art
there
:
if
I
go
downe
into
hel
,
thou
art
there
to
:
Yea
,
if
I
shall
take
the
winges
of
the
morning
(
that
is
,
if
I
shal
make
as
much
speede
as
man
can
make
to
flee
from
thee
)
and
so
flee
into
the
vttermost
parts
of
the
sea
,
euen
there
also
thy
hand
shall
leade
me
,
and
thy
right
hand
shall
hold
me
.
Whether
shall
I
go
from
thy
spirit
,
and
whither
shall
I
flee
from
thy
presence
?
He
sheweth
also
,
how
he
estemeth
of
the
deare
friendes
of
God
,
and
on
the
contrary
,
how
he
doth
hate
&
abhorre
Gods
enemies
:
such
as
do
hate
and
rise
vp
against
God
.
Thus
you
haue
hearde
a
briefe
summe
of
this
whole
Psalme
:
that
is
,
of
the
chiefe
pointes
contayned
in
this
Psalme
,
being
in
number
.139
.
I
do
not
entende
(
at
this
time
)
to
entreate
of
all
these
thinges
,
or
of
any
one
of
them
:
but
to
apply
these
foure
verses
(
which
I
haue
nowe
read
,
being
the
last
of
this
Psalme
)
vnto
this
present
Auditory
,
and
to
the
present
occasion
of
this
assemble
.
For
I
thinke
it
the
duty
of
as
many
as
shall
occupye
such
places
as
this
,
to
apply
all
their
speeches
to
their
Auditories
,
and
to
the
occasions
of
their
assembling
.
Considering
therefore
that
thys
Auditory
is
assembled
to
chuse
one
to
rule
the
rest
:
I
haue
thought
it
meete
to
apply
the
woordes
of
the
Prophet
in
these
foure
last
verses
of
this
Psalme
,
to
them
that
be
assembled
,
and
to
the
present
occasion
of
assemblyng
.
And
herein
I
must
speake
of
another
manner
of
hatred
then
the
Prophet
ment
of
in
these
wordes
,
when
he
saith
:
Haue
not
I
hated
them
that
hate
thee
.
&c.
And
I
am
occasioned
so
to
do
by
that
which
I
reade
in
the
first
chapter
of
the
booke
of
prophecies
of
Malachie
the
prophet
,
where
it
is
wrytten
thus
:
Iacob
haue
I
loued
,
but
Esau
haue
I
hated
.
It
is
not
ment
here
,
that
the
Lord
hated
Esau
wyth
that
hatred
that
Dauid
speaketh
of
in
these
wordes
of
the
Psalme
whych
I
haue
in
hand
:
but
that
he
did
so
hate
him
,
that
he
would
not
chuse
hym
to
be
Lord
ouer
hys
brethren
,
notwithstanding
that
by
nature
the
birth-right
dyd
belong
vnto
hym
,
for
he
was
the
elder
and
the
first
borne
.
And
Iacob
hee
loued
so
,
that
notwithstanding
he
was
the
younger
,
the
honour
of
birthright
was
geuen
vnto
hym
,
and
hee
was
made
Lord
ouer
his
brethren
.
After
this
sort
also
dyd
the
Lord
hate
the
elder
sonnes
of
Iesse
,
There
was
none
among
the
brethren
of
Dauid
,
that
was
not
in
the
iudgement
of
man
meete
to
be
preferred
before
Dauid
,
and
therefore
their
father
presented
them
to
Samuel
one
after
another
,
and
shewed
him selfe
to
make
none
accompt
of
Dauid
:
But
the
Lord
so
loued
Dauid
,
and
hated
hys
brethren
,
that
he
refused
them
,
and
chose
Dauid
to
be
king
ouer
his
people
.
Applying
thys
scripture
to
you
that
be
present
therfore
,
I
must
first
speake
of
this
hatred
and
this
loue
:
admonishing
as
many
of
you
as
are
to
geue
voyces
in
this
election
,
that
you
hate
with
this
hatred
of
refusal
,
all
such
as
you
see
to
haue
in
them
those
conditions
as
should
not
bee
in
any
that
should
be
chosen
to
beare
rule
among
the
people
of
God
,
and
that
you
loue
with
thys
loue
that
I
haue
spoken
of
,
such
one
as
hath
in
hym
those
thynges
that
by
the
scriptures
are
required
to
be
in
him
that
shall
be
chosen
to
be
a
Ruler
.
First
,
If
that
people
myght
not
make
them
a
Ruler
of
one
that
were
not
a
brother
by
bloud
and
Religion
:
how
may
we
that
professe
the
religion
of
Christ
,
chuse
one
to
be
our
Ruler
that
is
not
of
one
religion
wyth
vs
?
You
therefore
,
to
whom
it
belongeth
to
geue
voyces
in
this
election
,
must
haue
regard
to
the
religion
of
him
whom
you
shal
chuse
.
He
must
not
be
an
Athiste
(
that
is
,
a
man
that
hath
no
religion
)
hee
must
not
be
a
sectary
,
an
hereticke
,
or
sismaticke
.
He
must
not
be
a
Papist
:
for
of
all
Sectaries
the
Papist
is
most
contrary
to
Christ
:
I
meane
the
right
Papist
,
who
doth
acknowledge
the
Pope
to
bee
the
vniuersall
head
of
the
vniuersall
church
of
Christ
,
for
that
is
,
to
set
the
Pope
in
the
seate
of
Christ
,
and
so
consequently
to
depose
Christ
,
and
to
set
vp
the
Pope
in
hys
place
,
and
so
is
hee
become
Antichrist
.
S.
Paule
in
the
.2
.
chapter
of
his
second
Epistle
to
the
Thessalonians
,
doth
lyuely
describe
this
Antichrist
vnder
the
name
of
the
man
of
syn
.
He
shall
(
sayth
S.
Paule
)
aduaunce
him selfe
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
.
That
is
,
aboue
all
Princes
.
Of
Princes
the
Prophet
Dauid
doth
in
the
Psalme
.82
.
write
thus
in
the
person
of
God
him selfe
:
Ego
dixi
Dii
estis
,
I
haue
sayd
it
,
you
are
Gods.
And
our
sauiour
Christ
him selfe
doth
cite
the
same
wordes
,
He
sitteth
also
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
boasteth
hym selfe
as
though
he
were
God
:
and
this
he
doth
in
twoo
poyntes
especiallye
.
First
,
in
that
he
taketh
vpon
him
to
dispose
kingdomes
:
&
then
in
that
hee
presumeth
to
pardon
synnes
.
For
both
these
thynges
belong
to
God
alone
,
and
no
creature
may
enterprise
to
do
either
of
these
.
Per
me
regnant
Reges
(
sayth
Wisdome
)
and
by
Wysedome
is
ment
God
him selfe
.
By
God
alone
therfore
doo
Kinges
raygne
.
And
the
Prophet
Dauid
saith
,
that
promotion
commeth
neither
from
the
East
nor
from
the
West
,
neyther
from
the
North.
The
Pope
therefore
,
in
disposyng
kingdomes
,
as
hee
hath
,
and
would
presently
dispose
this
kyngdome
(
if
his
power
would
stretch
so
farre
)
doth
take
vpon
hym
,
that
which
belongeth
to
God
alone
,
and
therefore
sytting
in
the
Church
of
Christ
,
which
is
the
temple
of
God
,
he
boasteth
him selfe
as
though
he
were
God
,
and
sheweth
hym selfe
to
be
that
man
of
synne
that
saynt
Paule
speaketh
of
.
He
taketh
vpon
him
also
to
forgeue
syns
,
which
none
can
do
but
God
onely
.
In
his
Buls
of
Iubilie
these
wordes
are
insert
:
A
pena
,
&
a
culpa
,
that
is
,
from
the
payne
due
to
the
fault
,
and
from
the
fault
also
.
So
that
he
acquiteth
and
dischargeth
the
synner
of
the
fault
of
hys
sinne
,
and
maketh
him
as
innocent
as
if
he
had
neuer
committed
synne
.
And
herein
hee
maketh
hym selfe
equall
,
or
rather
superiour
to
God
him selfe
:
for
no
Inferiour
can
pardon
the
trespasse
that
is
committed
against
his
Superiour
.
If
any
subiect
should
presume
to
pardon
the
treason
that
is
committed
against
his
Prince
:
what
could
that
Prince
thinke
of
that
Subiect
,
otherwyse
then
of
one
that
taketh
him selfe
to
be
of
greater
authority
then
hys
Prince
,
or
at
the
least
of
as
great
authoritye
.
By
these
two
practises
therfore
,
the
Pope
maketh
him self
knowen
to
as
many
as
wyll
know
hym
,
to
be
that
Antichrist
,
whom
S.
Paul
calleth
the
man
of
synne
.
And
so
by
good
consequence
,
whosoeuer
is
a
right
Papist
,
is
most
vnmeete
to
rule
amongest
Christians
.
You
therfore
,
to
whom
it
belongeth
to
geue
voyces
in
this
election
,
looke
wel
to
the
religion
of
him
whom
you
chuse
,
&
if
any
be
a
Papist
,
so
hate
him
as
God
hated
Esau
and
Dauids
elder
brethren
,
that
you
refuse
hym
,
and
chuse
hym
not
to
rule
you
,
because
hee
is
not
a
Brother
,
&
therfore
much
more
vnmete
to
rule
Christians
,
then
any
suche
was
to
rule
the
carnall
Israelites
.
In
the
seconde
booke
of
Moses
called
Exodus
,
Wyse
he
must
be
,
such
one
as
by
long
experience
hath
learned
wisedome
,
and
is
able
to
rule
wysely
:
&
there
must
be
in
him
such
actiuity
,
as
is
meete
for
him
that
shal
occupy
the
place
that
he
shal
be
chosen
vnto
.
He
must
haue
in
him
the
feare
of
God
also
,
Iesus
Siracke
writeth
)
be
careful
to
know
the
wyll
of
God
:
and
when
they
know
it
,
they
wyll
be
as
careful
to
conforme
their
lyues
vnto
it
,
that
the
feare
of
God
maye
appeare
in
all
that
they
do
.
This
feare
is
not
that
whereof
s
.
Iohn
Looke
therefore
for
these
signes
of
Gods
holy
feare
,
and
hate
that
person
in
whom
you
finde
them
not
,
so
that
ye
chuse
him
not
to
rule
you
.
Thirdly
,
ye
must
not
chuse
hym
,
whom
you
know
not
to
bee
a
true
man
:
true
in
his
deedes
,
and
true
in
his
words
.
His
yea
must
be
yea
,
and
his
nay
,
nay
.
He
must
not
say
and
vnsay
,
he
must
not
sweare
to
disceiue
.
His
wordes
must
not
be
winde
,
but
ther
must
be
waight
in
them
.
He
must
not
do
(
as
to
many
vse
to
do
in
these
daies
)
deny
both
his
words
&
his
writing
(
if
ye
can
not
proue
it
)
though
it
be
his
hand
&
his
seale
,
yet
if
he
may
gayne
any
thing
by
denying
it
to
be
his
dede
,
it
was
neuer
hys
deede
.
Woulde
God
there
were
none
suche
to
bee
found
in
Israel
,
(
I
meane
)
among
Christians
.
Last
of
all
,
he
that
must
be
chosen
to
beare
rule
,
must
bee
a
man
that
hateth
couetousnes
.
The
common
sort
of
men
haue
none
other
note
to
know
a
couetous
man
by
,
but
rytches
.
If
he
be
ritch
,
then
is
he
couetous
,
in
the
iudgement
of
most
men
.
But
ritches
is
not
a
note
to
know
a
couetous
man
by
.
Ritches
is
the
gyft
of
God
:
and
it
is
not
a
mans
carefull
toyle
that
can
make
hym
ritch
,
The
Greekes
do
cal
couetousnes
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
a
desire
of
more
.
Wheresoeuer
therefore
you
shal
see
open
sygnes
of
thys
desire
of
more
,
there
is
couetousnes
.
And
that
man
in
whom
that
is
,
must
be
so
hated
of
you
that
haue
to
geue
voyces
in
this
election
,
that
you
chuse
him
not
to
beare
rule
.
Saint
Paule
would
haue
thys
desire
of
more
,
to
be
so
far
from
all
Christians
,
Of
the
fruites
that
spring
out
of
this
pestilent
roote
much
might
be
spoken
,
&
many
examples
brought
out
of
histories
,
both
holy
and
prophane
:
But
because
the
tyme
passeth
away
,
and
I
haue
determined
to
speake
somewhat
of
the
dutye
of
hym
that
shall
bee
chosen
,
I
wyll
make
mention
onelye
of
two
examples
,
the
one
prophane
,
&
the
other
written
in
the
history
of
the
Gospell
.
For
the
first
,
it
is
wrytten
that
Polymnestor
king
of
Thrasia
,
was
of
great
familiaritie
,
&
ioyned
in
synguler
friendship
with
king
Priamus
of
Troy
:
and
that
when
Troy
was
beseeged
by
the
Grecians
,
and
like
to
be
woon
by
them
,
kyng
Priamus
sent
hys
young
sonne
Polydorus
to
Polymnestor
with
a
great
masse
of
gold
,
trusting
that
of
friendship
he
would
foster
and
bring
vp
the
yong
Prince
,
and
helpe
hym
to
recouer
the
kyngdome
of
Troy
,
if
it
should
at
that
time
be
woon
by
the
Grecians
.
But
when
Polymnestor
perceiued
that
Priamus
was
dead
,
and
Troy
conquered
,
he
slew
Polydorus
,
and
so
possessed
the
gold
hym selfe
.
The
Poet
Virgill
writing
of
thys
,
vseth
this
exclamation
:
Quid
non
mortalia
cogis
pectora
,
auri
sacra
fames
?
O
thou
pestilent
hunger
of
golde
,
what
is
it
that
thou
doest
not
enforce
mens
hartes
to
do
?
The
other
example
is
wrytten
in
the
history
of
the
Gospell
.
The
traitour
Iudas
,
notwithstanding
he
had
sene
the
wonderful
workes
that
our
sauiour
Christ
had
wrought
,
and
heard
hys
heauenly
doctrine
:
yet
in
a
couetous
desire
he
betraied
him
,
and
for
money
deliuered
him
into
the
handes
of
those
enemies
that
sought
his
lyfe
.
Such
fruites
doth
thys
pestilent
roote
bryng
forth
,
and
therefore
such
as
are
to
geue
consent
in
this
election
,
shuld
not
agree
to
chuse
such
one
to
rule
,
as
hath
in
him
the
open
sygnes
of
this
so
pestilent
a
roote
.
Thus
brieflye
you
haue
hearde
what
is
required
in
him
that
must
be
chosen
to
beare
rule
:
He
must
be
a
brother
,
not
of
no
religion
,
neyther
of
any
other
religion
,
then
the
true
religion
of
Christ
.
For
if
the
Iewes
myght
not
make
any
man
ruler
ouer
them
that
was
not
of
their
religion
:
much
lesse
may
Christians
make
that
man
their
Ruler
,
that
is
not
one
of
their
religion
.
He
must
be
a
wyse
&
actiue
man
,
suche
one
as
hath
had
experience
,
and
is
well
able
to
gouerne
,
beyng
endued
wyth
all
those
giftes
that
must
be
vsed
in
gouernment
.
If
he
haue
gouerned
hym selfe
and
hys
own
familye
well
:
then
is
hee
the
meeter
to
rule
other
.
But
if
this
be
not
in
hym
,
then
is
hee
altogether
vnmeete
to
be
chosen
to
publike
gouernment
.
It
is
also
requisite
that
he
haue
in
him
the
feare
of
God
,
in
such
sort
as
I
haue
declared
.
Not
that
feare
that
is
ioyned
wyth
hatred
,
but
that
which
is
matched
with
loue
:
So
that
he
doth
feare
God
,
because
he
loueth
him
,
and
doth
loue
him
because
hee
feareth
hym
,
Moreouer
,
he
must
be
a
true
man
,
no
false
,
no
subtile
,
or
crafty
dealer
:
but
suche
one
as
dealeth
trulye
in
word
and
deede
.
And
to
conclude
,
he
must
(
euen
from
his
very
hart
)
hate
that
pestilent
roote
couetousnes
.
And
thus
much
for
that
which
I
thought
meete
to
speake
,
touching
that
which
is
to
be
done
by
them
that
haue
to
geue
voyces
in
thys
election
.
Now
as
touching
him
that
shal
be
chosen
,
he
must
looke
vpon
the
example
of
Dauid
,
to
follow
it
.
He
sayth
,
Do
not
I
hate
them
(
O
Lord
)
that
hate
thee
?
And
am
not
I
greeued
with
them
that
ryse
vp
against
thee
?
Yea
I
hate
them
,
and
that
right
sore
:
euen
as
though
they
were
myne
own
enemies
.
Try
me
(
O
God
)
and
seeke
the
ground
of
my
hart
:
proue
me
,
and
examine
my
thoughtes
.
Looke
well
if
there
be
any
way
of
wickednes
in
me
,
and
leade
me
in
the
way
euerlasting
.
Thys
example
of
the
Prophet
Dauid
doth
teach
hym
that
shall
be
chosen
,
especially
two
lessons
:
wher
of
the
one
is
how
he
must
be
affected
towardes
them
that
hate
the
Lord
,
and
rise
vp
against
him
:
and
the
other
is
,
what
he
should
continually
craue
at
Gods
hand
in
hys
harty
and
earnest
prayers
to
God
.
For
the
first
he
saith
,
Do
not
I
hate
them
that
hate
thee
?
&c.
And
for
the
other
he
saith
:
Try
me
(
O
God
)
and
seeke
the
ground
of
myne
hart
.
&c.
In
the
scriptures
they
are
sayd
to
hate
the
Lord
that
geue
anye
part
of
his
honor
to
any
creatures
:
as
in
that
commaundement
wherin
the
Lord
forbiddeth
idolatry
,
he
sayth
thus
:
I
wyll
visit
the
syns
of
the
Fathers
vpon
the
children
,
to
the
third
and
fourth
generation
in
them
that
hate
me
.
&c.
where
they
that
breake
that
commaundement
either
in
making
or
worshipping
of
any
Image
,
are
sayd
to
hate
God
,
because
they
put
that
image
in
the
place
of
God
,
and
geue
that
honour
to
it
,
whych
is
due
to
God
.
The
Prophet
Dauid
also
calleth
suche
synners
,
when
in
the
fiftith
Psalme
hee
sayth
thus
:
The
Lord
sayd
vnto
the
sinner
,
why
takest
thou
my
testament
in
thy
mouth
,
seing
thou
hatest
to
be
reformed
,
and
thou
hast
cast
my
word
behinde
thee
.
Thou
sawest
a
theefe
,
and
thou
rannest
with
him
,
and
with
the
adulterer
thou
dyddest
cast
in
thy
lot
.
&c.
These
be
they
that
hate
the
Lord
,
because
they
haue
euen
sold
them selues
to
serue
sinne
,
and
must
therefore
needes
hate
him
,
against
whom
they
commit
synne
.
The
example
of
the
Prophet
Dauid
therefore
,
doth
teach
him
(
that
shal
be
chosen
to
beare
rule
)
to
hate
all
such
maner
of
men
as
these
be
:
that
is
,
that
do
geue
them selues
to
serue
synne
,
and
wyll
not
be
reformed
by
any
maner
admonition
or
fatherly
chasticement
.
He
must
hate
them
therfore
,
not
with
such
hatred
as
I
haue
spoken
of
(
that
is
,
to
refuse
them
in
elections
)
but
with
perfect
hatred
,
euen
as
though
they
were
his
own
enemies
.
That
is
,
euen
as
by
the
corruption
of
our
own
nature
,
we
are
moued
to
hate
them
that
bee
our
enemies
(
for
by
the
rule
of
our
Religion
,
He
therfore
that
shal
beare
rule
,
must
so
hate
them
that
hate
the
Lord
(
in
such
sort
as
I
haue
sayd
)
that
hee
vse
the
swoord
that
God
hath
geuen
him
,
Curssed
is
euery
one
that
doth
the
worke
of
God
negligently
.
In
his
praiers
to
God
,
the
Prophet
Dauid
craued
especiallye
two
thinges
:
wherof
one
was
that
he
might
be
throughly
tryed
,
and
the
other
,
that
the
Lord
would
leade
him
in
the
way
euerlasting
.
He
therfore
that
shall
be
chosen
,
must
in
his
prayers
beg
the
same
,
with
desire
to
be
purged
of
all
euil
:
&
that
he
may
be
lead
by
the
good
spirit
of
God
all
the
dayes
of
thys
his
transitory
lyfe
,
and
in
the
ende
thereof
,
into
that
lyfe
that
neuer
shall
haue
ende
.
Try
me
(
O
God
)
sayth
the
Prophet
,
and
seeke
out
the
ground
of
my
hart
.
&c.
In
these
wordes
the
Prophet
sheweth
hym selfe
to
bee
wylling
to
walke
before
the
Lord
hys
God
,
and
to
haue
his
waies
knowen
vnto
him
.
It
is
not
inough
for
vs
to
know
that
the
Lord
knoweth
our
waies
:
but
we
must
be
desirous
that
the
Lord
would
haue
such
regard
vnto
our
wayes
,
that
he
suffer
vs
not
to
walke
in
anye
way
of
wickednes
,
but
that
he
doo
by
such
meanes
as
may
please
him
,
bring
vs
to
the
way
euerlasting
,
&
leade
vs
therein
by
his
holy
spirit
,
that
is
,
in
that
way
,
the
end
wherof
is
euerlasting
lyfe
,
and
that
we
may
continually
walke
in
that
way
all
the
dayes
of
this
our
transitory
lyfe
,
and
so
in
the
ende
thereof
finde
euerlasting
lyfe
.
He
that
shal
be
chosen
therefore
,
must
learne
by
the
example
of
Dauid
,
to
craue
this
at
the
handes
of
God
:
and
so
shall
he
bee
alwayes
carefull
to
walke
in
the
Lordes
wayes
,
that
when
the
Lord
shall
try
him
,
there
be
no
way
of
wickednes
found
in
hym
.
In
that
the
Prophet
desireth
to
be
lead
in
the
euerlastyng
way
:
he
confesseth
that
of
him self
he
is
not
able
to
walke
therein
.
Thus
as
the
shortnes
of
the
time
would
suffer
,
&
as
God
hath
made
me
able
,
I
haue
by
occasion
of
those
wordes
,
which
at
the
beginnyng
I
read
out
of
the
Psalme
.
139.
noted
those
things
that
I
thought
meete
to
be
noted
in
this
Auditory
,
and
to
be
applied
to
the
present
occasion
of
our
assembling
at
this
tyme
.
The
Lord
for
his
mercies
sake
,
so
woorke
in
all
our
hartes
by
hys
holy
spirit
,
that
we
printing
in
memory
,
and
practisyng
in
lyfe
these
profitable
lessons
,
may
in
our
seuerall
callinges
so
deale
in
al
that
we
do
,
that
God
may
in
vs
be
glorified
,
&
we
in
him
euerlastingly
comforted
,
wyth
that
endles
comfort
that
hee
hath
prepared
for
hys
.
Which
comfort
he
graunt
that
hath
prepared
it
:
to
whom
be
all
honor
&
glory
,
world
without
end
.
Amen
.
¶
An
Appendix
added
vnto
this
Sermon
.
THus
at
the
request
of
a
friend
(
wishing
the
common
commodity
)
I
haue
(
as
nygh
as
I
could
)
committed
my
Sermon
to
writing
,
in
such
order
,
and
(
as
my
memorye
would
serue
me
)
in
such
woordes
,
as
I
dyd
vtter
it
in
the
hearyng
of
the
Lord
Maior
and
his
Brethren
the
Aldermen
,
and
the
whole
state
of
the
City
of
London
,
being
then
(
according
to
their
yearelye
order
)
assembled
to
chuse
one
to
be
their
Maior
for
the
yere
then
following
.
And
because
the
text
that
I
haue
handled
,
may
as
well
be
applyed
to
al
other
elections
,
as
to
that
which
then
was
to
bee
made
:
I
haue
thought
meete
(
in
the
setting
out
of
this
my
Sermon
in
print
)
to
adde
this
Appendix
,
wherin
I
haue
applyed
the
wordes
of
the
Prophet
,
generally
to
all
elections
:
as
well
of
such
as
shall
serue
in
the
Ecclesiasticall
gouernment
,
as
in
the
Ciuile
.
Notyng
the
duties
both
of
them
to
whom
it
appartayneth
to
chuse
,
and
also
of
them
that
shall
be
chosen
to
anye
gouernment
in
eyther
state
.
And
first
of
them
to
whom
it
belongeth
to
chuse
.
The
persons
that
,
in
any
order
,
haue
to
geue
consent
to
the
choyse
of
any
that
shall
serue
in
any
publike
calling
,
must
first
consyder
the
place
that
is
to
be
supplied
by
hym
that
is
to
bee
chosen
:
wyth
a
due
consideration
of
those
qualities
that
must
be
in
hym
that
shall
be
able
to
do
the
duty
that
belongeth
to
that
place
.
And
then
their
care
must
be
,
to
fynde
out
such
one
as
hath
in
hym
those
qualities
.
And
if
any
shal
offer
them selues
to
take
vpon
them
the
place
,
and
enable
them selues
thereunto
:
they
are
to
bee
narrowlye
looked
vnto
,
and
thorowly
tryed
before
they
be
admitted
,
because
they
do
by
offering
them selues
,
geue
occasion
to
be
suspected
of
some
desire
,
eyther
to
be
aduaunced
,
or
els
to
be
enritched
,
which
desire
is
most
pernicious
in
hym
that
shall
serue
in
any
publike
calling
.
Isocrates
(
an
Heathen
man
)
instructyng
Demonicus
(
a
yong
Gentleman
,
that
was
like
to
be
called
to
publike
office
)
sayth
thus
vnto
hym
:
A
publicis
functionibus
,
non
ditior
sed
gloriosior
discedas
.
Depart
not
from
a
publike
office
,
being
more
ritch
,
but
more
honourable
,
then
when
thou
tookest
it
.
But
if
any
shall
by
wordes
,
writing
,
giftes
,
or
anye
other
ambitions
meane
,
seeke
to
be
admitted
:
the
same
hath
made
him selfe
altogether
vnmeete
to
be
admitted
,
although
there
be
in
him
as
much
as
may
be
in
a
man
,
otherwise
to
make
him
meete
:
For
such
one
beyng
in
place
,
cannot
vse
any
good
gift
that
is
in
hym
to
anye
other
ende
then
that
,
whych
moued
hym
so
to
seeke
the
place
.
They
therfore
that
haue
to
geue
consent
in
elections
,
must
not
bee
subiect
to
their
owne
corrupt
affections
,
so
that
they
be
lead
by
them
to
chuse
or
admit
anye
in
respect
of
consanguinitie
,
affinity
,
friendship
,
or
friendly
familiarity
:
neither
may
they
stand
in
awe
of
any
mans
person
,
&
so
through
feare
of
dyspleasure
,
or
hope
of
some
friendly
pleasure
,
be
enduced
to
chuse
or
admyt
such
one
as
they
do
not
know
to
be
meete
for
the
place
that
they
doo
chuse
or
admit
him
vnto
.
They
must
haue
styl
before
their
eyes
,
the
Maiestye
of
God
,
whose
Ministers
they
are
,
that
occupy
any
publike
place
:
And
therefore
in
chusyng
or
admittyng
them
that
shall
supply
any
such
place
,
the
chusers
and
admitters
must
do
all
that
they
do
in
the
feare
of
Gods
Maiestye
,
euen
as
they
that
know
&
do
not
forget
,
that
they
shal
answer
to
him
for
al
that
they
shall
do
therin
.
It
is
meete
therefore
,
that
if
the
election
or
admission
be
to
be
made
by
many
,
the
same
do
(
before
they
proceede
to
election
or
admission
)
ioyne
them selues
together
in
publike
praier
,
not
of
custome
onely
,
or
supersticiously
,
but
with
harty
desire
to
obtayne
at
Gods
hand
hys
holy
spirite
to
direct
them
so
,
that
they
may
finde
out
&
consent
vpon
such
one
,
as
may
be
both
able
and
willing
so
to
serue
in
the
place
that
he
shall
be
chosen
vnto
,
that
Gods
glory
may
be
set
forth
in
al
that
he
shall
do
in
that
place
.
After
this
sort
did
the
Apostels
behaue
them selues
,
when
thei
thought
it
meete
to
chuse
one
to
supply
the
place
of
Iudas
▪
And
if
the
election
or
admission
,
do
belong
to
any
one
person
,
then
it
is
meete
that
that
person
,
do
not
onely
make
earnest
and
harty
praiers
to
God
in
his
own
person
,
that
in
the
choyse
that
he
shall
make
,
he
may
be
directed
by
Gods
holy
spirite
,
to
make
such
choise
as
may
be
to
Gods
glorye
:
but
that
the
same
do
desire
that
as
many
as
may
take
either
commoditye
or
hurt
by
the
choise
that
he
shall
make
,
would
in
harty
prayers
vnto
God
beg
,
that
in
chusing
his
hart
may
be
directed
by
Gods
holy
spirite
,
to
chuse
such
one
as
in
all
pointes
may
be
meete
for
the
place
that
he
shall
be
chosen
vnto
.
And
whether
the
election
belong
to
one
or
to
many
,
this
one
thyng
must
be
diligently
looked
vnto
by
the
Electours
,
that
neyther
they
them selues
bee
corrupted
wyth
bribes
,
neither
enduced
by
the
perswasion
of
anye
that
is
bribed
,
to
make
choyse
of
any
,
in
whom
they
do
not
see
those
properties
that
I
haue
before
noted
out
of
the
fyft
and
second
bookes
of
Moses
.
For
he
that
is
not
a
brother
(
that
is
to
saye
,
In
like
maner
,
he
that
is
not
a
man
of
such
wysdome
and
actiuity
as
is
required
in
him
that
shal
supply
that
place
that
is
to
be
supplyed
,
The
persons
that
shal
be
elected
or
admitted
,
must
first
consider
in
them selues
,
whether
they
be
such
in
deede
,
as
they
be
supposed
to
be
,
and
whether
those
qualities
be
in
them
that
be
required
in
those
persons
that
should
supply
such
places
as
they
be
called
or
admitted
vnto
.
And
if
they
shall
not
fynde
them selues
to
be
such
,
or
that
the
qualities
required
be
not
in
them
:
then
must
they
(
if
they
wyll
not
prouoke
the
heauye
wrath
of
God
agaynst
them selues
)
either
seeke
by
earnest
and
continuall
praiers
to
God
,
and
by
all
other
meanes
to
bee
made
such
,
and
to
obtaine
those
qualities
that
they
lacke
:
or
els
vtterly
refuse
to
take
vpon
them
to
supply
a
place
for
which
they
knowe
them selues
to
be
so
vnmeete
.
And
if
(
when
they
haue
examined
them selues
)
they
shall
fynde
,
that
they
bee
in
all
poyntes
meete
for
the
places
that
they
bee
chosen
or
admitted
to
:
they
must
in
the
feare
of
God
,
consider
what
dutye
thei
haue
to
do
in
these
places
,
and
consecrate
them selues
to
bee
occupied
continually
in
doing
those
duties
,
and
not
onely
begge
at
Gods
hand
his
holy
spirite
to
direct
and
strengthen
them
therin
,
but
earnestly
desire
,
that
all
the
people
,
amongest
whom
they
are
appointed
to
serue
,
doo
in
all
their
prayers
commende
them
to
God
,
wythout
whose
conduct
&
ayde
they
cannot
bee
able
to
discharge
any
part
of
their
duty
.
And
according
to
the
example
of
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
these
men
must
hate
all
them
that
hate
the
Lord
,
that
is
,
all
such
as
geue
ouer
them selues
to
serue
syn
:
For
those
persons
do
loue
synne
,
and
none
can
loue
syn
,
but
the
same
must
needes
hate
the
Lord
who
hateth
synne
.
With
such
hatred
therfore
as
the
Lord
hateth
syn
and
such
sinners
,
the
Prophet
hated
them
,
that
in
his
daies
were
suche
synners
,
and
therfore
hated
the
Lord
.
And
euerye
one
that
is
elected
or
admitted
to
serue
in
anye
publike
place
,
must
in
lyke
maner
hate
all
them
that
he
shall
see
to
be
such
synners
.
If
his
calling
be
Ecclesiasticall
,
he
must
reprehend
,
rebuke
,
and
enstruct
them
:
And
if
that
wyll
not
helpe
,
he
must
lay
before
them
the
horrible
threatnynges
of
Gods
wrath
against
them
.
And
thys
he
must
do
(
as
Dauid
dyd
)
without
any
feare
,
fauour
,
hatred
,
or
other
fleshly
respect
,
that
they
might
bee
moued
to
haue
towards
their
persons
.
They
must
alwaies
haue
in
mynde
whose
ministers
they
be
,
&
whose
worke
it
is
that
they
haue
in
hand
.
And
they
must
neuer
forget
,
that
who
so
doth
the
Lordes
worke
negligently
,
is
accurssed
of
the
Lord.
More
ouer
,
they
must
styll
beare
in
mynde
the
woordes
which
the
Lord
spake
to
Ezechiel
the
Prophet
saying
thus
:
Take
good
heede
to
the
wordes
of
my
mouth
,
and
geue
them
warning
at
my
commaundement
.
If
I
say
vnto
thee
concernyng
the
vngodly
man
,
that
(
without
doubt
)
he
must
dye
:
and
thou
geuest
him
no
warning
,
nor
speakest
vnto
hym
that
hee
maye
turne
from
his
euyll
waye
,
and
so
lyue
:
then
shall
the
same
vngodly
man
dye
in
his
own
vnrighteousnes
,
but
his
bloud
wyl
I
require
of
thine
hand
.
Yea
,
he
must
alwaies
be
myndfull
of
the
wordes
of
Paule
to
Timothie
,
where
he
saith
thus
:
A
Bishop
,
that
is
a
Church
Minister
,
must
be
without
fault
.
&c.
And
of
the
wordes
of
the
same
Apostle
to
the
Elders
of
Ephesus
,
when
hee
sayth
thus
:
Take
heede
to
your selues
and
to
the
whole
flocke
,
wherein
the
holye
Ghost
hath
appointed
you
to
bee
ouersears
,
to
gouerne
the
Church
of
God
,
which
hee
hath
bought
with
his
owne
bloud
.
And
aboue
all
thinges
,
he
must
take
heede
of
that
pestilent
roote
couetousnes
,
whych
if
it
doo
once
take
hold
in
his
hart
,
it
wyll
bryng
forth
such
fruit
,
as
wyl
turne
al
the
wholsome
wyne
of
hys
good
doctrine
,
to
most
pernicious
poyson
.
For
he
shall
neuer
be
satisfied
with
liuing
.
Yea
,
though
he
haue
a
great
deale
to
much
,
wyth
more
charge
then
many
more
able
then
hee
can
be
able
to
discharge
:
yet
wyl
he
stil
desire
more
,
for
that
desire
of
more
can
neuer
saye
,
inough
,
but
styll
it
cryeth
for
more
.
Out
of
this
pestilent
roote
sprang
all
the
Popes
Dispensations
,
hys
Vnions
,
his
Pluralities
,
hys
Trialities
,
and
his
Totquots
.
His
dispensation
of
Non
residens
,
his
Impropriations
,
and
what
soeuer
els
hath
bene
deuised
,
for
the
augmenting
of
the
lyuing
of
his
Prelates
.
The
Minister
of
Christes
church
therefore
,
must
neuer
forget
these
wordes
which
Paule
wrote
to
Timothe
:
Thou
man
of
God
,
flee
from
these
thinges
,
and
followe
thou
righteousnes
,
faith
,
loue
,
pacience
,
and
meekenes
.
And
he
must
print
in
memorye
the
wordes
of
Christ
,
which
saith
:
First
seeke
the
kingdome
of
God
,
and
the
righteousnes
thereof
,
and
all
these
thinges
shall
be
ministred
vnto
you
.
To
conclude
,
he
must
haue
written
in
his
hart
the
words
of
Christ
to
Peter
,
whych
are
theese
:
Peter
,
doest
thou
loue
me
?
Feede
my
lambes
,
feede
my
sheepe
,
feede
my
sheepe
.
And
the
wordes
of
the
same
Peter
to
al
his
fellow
Elders
,
which
are
these
:
Feede
the
flocke
of
Christ
as
much
as
lyeth
in
you
,
But
if
his
callyng
be
Ciuile
,
hee
must
vse
the
swoorde
in
punishyng
synne
accordyng
to
the
lawes
of
his
Countrye
:
remembring
alway
that
hee
is
appointed
by
God
hymselfe
,
He
must
also
be
myndfull
of
the
wordes
of
Esay
,
which
sayth
of
the
Rulers
of
Ierusalem
in
this
wyse
:
Thy
Princes
are
the
companions
of
theeues
,
Moreouer
hee
must
not
forget
the
wordes
of
Moses
,
who
sayth
thus
:
Bribes
do
blynde
the
eyes
of
the
wyse
,
Thus
muche
I
haue
thought
meete
to
adde
(
in
order
of
Appendix
)
to
that
Sermon
which
I
made
the
.29
.
of
September
.1574
.
as
afore
in
the
title
:
Beseching
the
almighty
,
in
mercy
towards
his
Church
,
to
moue
the
mindes
of
his
reuengers
vpon
earth
,
that
they
maye
bende
them selues
in
al
that
they
are
able
to
reforme
first
in
them selues
,
and
after
in
all
other
,
all
maner
of
corruptions
in
elections
,
both
of
church
Ministers
,
&
of
ciuill
officers
also
.
So
maye
we
hope
to
see
all
corruption
banished
out
of
all
maner
ministration
,
and
Gods
glory
aduaunced
therby
:
which
he
graunt
for
his
mercies
sake
,
to
whom
be
all
honour
and
glory
for
euer
.
Amen
.
