By
Faith
Noah
being
warned
of
God
of
things
not
seene
as
yet
,
moved
with
feare
,
prepared
an
Arke
,
to
the
saving
of
his
House
.
IN
the
latter
end
of
the
former
Chapter
,
the
Apostle
had
exhorted
vnto
perseverance
in
the
faith
.
To
presse
this
home
the
better
,
he
shewes
the
excellency
of
the
grace
of
Faith
.
That
he
shewes
-
1.
By
the
excellency
of
it
,
in
it selfe
considered
.
Vers.

,

,

-

By
a
Cloud
of
witnesses
,
by
the
examples
of
all
their
fore-fathers
in
both
the
Worlds
,
the
World
before
,
and
after
the
Flood
.
By
all
those
examples
giuing
them
to
vnderstand
that
all
the
goodly
things
that
their
Fathers
had
,
or
did
,
they
were
beholding
vnto
faith
for
them
.
It
is
the
Apostles
purpose
in
this
Chapter
to
set
the
garland
vpon
the
head
of
faith
,
and
for
the
making
of
this
garland
,
he
picks
and
gathers
all
the
most
choyce
and
godly
flowers
that
growe
scattered
through
the
garden
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
so
crownes
Faith
therewith
,
to
make
it
a
louely
,
and
an
amiable
grace
in
the
eyes
of
all
.
This
seauenth
verse
contaynes
the
example
of
the
Faith
of
Noah
,
who
was
the
last
Patriarch
of
the
old
,
and
the
first
of
the
new
World
.
In
the
verse
we
haue
considerable
,
two
speciall
things
.
-
1.
Gods
gracious
goodnesse
and
mercy
to
Noah
,
-
In
giuing
warning
.
-
Being
warned
of
God
.
-
2.
Noahs
great
wisedome
in
taking
warning
.
This
wisedome
of
his
is
set
forth
in
three
degrees
,
-
1.
He
beleeues
the
warning
giuen
him
.
By
Faith
being
warned
,
&c.
-
2.
He
feares
it
:
Moued
with
feare
.
-
3.
He
makes
good
vse
of
the
warning
,
and
therevpon
followes
the
Counsell
of
God
.
For
God
did
not
only
giue
him
warning
of
the
danger
,
but
gaue
him
also
counsell
,
and
direction
,
how
to
secure
himselfe
from
the
danger
,
and
he
taking
the
fayre
warning
,
takes
also
the
good
counsell
,
and
prepares
an
Arke
:
And
all
these
be
three
degrees
of
one
and
the
same
thing
,
each
issuing
and
flowing
out
of
other
.
God
giues
warning
therefore
.
1.
He
beleeues
.
2.
His
faith
,
breedes
feare
of
the
calamity
approaching
.
3.
His
feare
breeds
a
care
of
the
preseruation
of
himselfe
,
and
family
.
Why
builds
he
an
Arke
to
saue
his
house
?
Because
he
feared
:
Why
doth
hee
feare
?
Because
hee
beleeues
Gods
warning
:
God
warnes
him
,
therefore
he
beleeues
:
He
beleeues
therefore
he
feares
:
He
feares
therefore
hee
prouides
agaynst
a
rainy
day
,
and
takes
a
course
to
hide
himselfe
,
and
his
family
in
the
day
of
wrath
.
For
the
first
:
Gods
mercy
and
goodnesse
to
Noah
.
Being
warned
of
God
.
The
old
World
was
growne
to
an
horrible
hight
of
iniquity
.
The
Children
of
God
,
the
posterity
of
●…h
,
made
mongrell
matches
with
the
daughters
of
men
,
the
posterity
of
Caine.
Those
mongrell
matches
brought
forth
a
monstrous
brood
,
who
defiled
,
and
polluted
the
very
earth
.
God
saw
the
earth
so
defiled
with
their
villanies
,
that
he
determines
to
bring
such
a
iudgement
vpon
the
earth
,
as
should
not
only
sweepe
those
monsters
from
off
the
earth
,
but
such
an
one
as
should
lay
the
earth
a
soake
,
and
should
wash
and
wrince
it
from
the
filth
and
defilement
where-with
they
had
corrupted
it
.
God
hauing
set
downe
this
determination
,
he
doth
not
presently
put
it
in
execution
;
but
first
acquaints
Noah
with
his
purpose
,
and
giues
him
warning
of
it
,
and
that
to
this
end
,
that
he
might
giue
the
world
warning
.
For
as
God
by
immediate
reuelation
,
gaue
Noah
warning
;
so
Noah
by
preparing
the
Arke
,
gaue
the
World
warning
of
a
iudgment
comming
,
and
that
vnlesse
some
course
was
taken
to
preuent
it
,
they
were
all
in
danger
to
bee
swept
away
with
a
Flood
;
from
which
course
of
Gods
:
Learne
.
Gods
faire
dealing
in
the
administration
,
and
execution
of
Iustice
:
Seldome
or
neuer
doth
God
bring
generall
iudgements
vpon
a
people
,
but
he
giues
them
faire
warning
.
Hee
doth
not
strike
men
at
vnawares
,
and
suddainly
surprise
them
,
without
any
notice
giuen
of
his
purposes
.

When
the
sword
comes
vppon
the
Land
,
hee
must
blow
the
Trumpet
,
and
warne
the
people
.
The
Prophet
verse
7.
Must
heare
the
Word
at
Gods
mouth
,
and
warne
them
from
him
.
Yea
,
so
carefull
is
God
that
it
be
done
,
that
if
in
case
it
be
neglected
,
he
threatens
to
reckon
sharply
with
those
whom
hee
betrusts
with
that
office
,
vers.
8.
God
will
require
blood
at
such
mens
hands
.
God
doth
not
snatch
vp
the
sword
into
his
hand
,
and
presently
cut
men
of
;
but
Psal.
7.
12.
First
,
God
whets
his
sword
,
bends
his
bow
,
makes
it
ready
;
prepares
the
instruments
of
death
.
And
all
this
whetting
time
,
the
time
of
making
ready
,
and
preparing
,
is
a
warning
time
.
God
whets
,
and
makes
ready
in
mens
sight
,
and
in
mens
hearing
,
that
the
very
noyse
of
his
whetting
,
may
giue
them
warning
of
his
intentions
.
And
Deut.

,

God
first
Whets
his
Sword
before
it
devoures
flesh
;
and
God
first
takes
hold
on
iudgement
,
before
his
judgements
take
hold
on
men
.
God
liu'd
by
his
owne
rule
,
and
by
the
same
Law
,
he
gaue
his
people
in
their
warres
.
Deuter.
20.

Hee
would
not
haue
them
fall
foule
presently
vppon
their
enemies
,
but
they
must
deale
fairely
with
them
.
And
it
was
the
benefit
of
this
Law
,
that
the
wise
woman
of
Abel
challenged
at
the
hands
of
Ioab
,
2.
Sam.

and
blames
him
that
hee
was
come
to
swallow
vp
,
and
neuer
according
to
the
ancient
Law
of
Armes
giues
them
any
parley
,
or
warning
of
his
purposes
.
So
fairely
deales
God
in
his
infinite
goodnesse
with
men
,
before
hee
comes
to
swallow
vp
,
and
to
destroy
;
hee
first
giues
warning
,
and
offers
fayre
quarter
.
Therefore
,
Hos.

God
blowes
the
Trumpet
before
he
drawes
the
sword
;
not
a
Trumpet
for
an
Alarme
,
and
for
the
battle
;
but
a
Trumpet
to
giue
warning
that
a
battle
is
like
to
come
.
God
hath
his
warning
peeces
;
and
his
murdering
peeces
:
God
neuer
dischargeth
his
murdering
,
till
hee
haue
discharged
his
Warning
ones
.
The
King
of
Syria
his
plot
and
policy
,
was
suddenly
and
at
unawares
,
to
surprise
the
King
of
Israel
.

He
would
go
covertly
,
and
closly
to
work
least
the
King
of
Israel
having
intelligence
of
his
designe
,
he
might
thereby
frustrate
his
action
.
God
goes
not
so
covertly
to
worke
,
but
as
one
that
would
be
willing
to
be
kept
off
,
and
put
by
,
he
himselfe
giues
intelligence
of
his
intentions
,
hee
doth
afore-hand
acquaint
men
with
his
projects
.
Ier.
18.
11
,
Behold
I
frame
evill
against
you
,
and
devise
a
device
against
you
.
Thus
God
deales
,
and
giues
warning
.
1.
That
if
it
be
possible
,
men
might
bee
brought
to
〈◊〉
Repentance
,
as
might
prevent
the
threatned

.
Ier.
18.

2.
That
he
may
provide
for
the
good
of
his
owne
.
Sometimes
God
will
deliver
some
of
his
people
from
〈◊〉
calamity
.
Sometimes
he
will
haue
some
of
them
●…dergo
it
.
In
reference
to
both
,
he
giues
warning
.
1.
To
such
as
shall
be
delivered
in
the
day
of
wrath
:
〈◊〉
wrath
should
come
without
warning
,
it
might
●…de
of
Gods
owne
people
,
from
vnder
couert
,
and
〈◊〉
they
might
prooue
a
prey
to
the
judgement
.
Exod.

,

God
had
a
purpose
that
many
of
the
Egyp●…s
servants
and
Cattle
should
escape
,
and
not
bee
●…ayne
,
in
that
terrible
storme
of
fire

.
God
●…erefore
giues
warning
of
the
storme
,
that
so
they
●…ight
be
housed
that
should
escape
.
If
they
had
had
〈◊〉
warning
,
they
had
heene
abroad
in
the
fields
;
and
〈◊〉
in
the
fields
when
the
storme
came
,
they
had
pe●…ht
inevitably
.
God
hath
a
purpose
in
a
storme
to
〈◊〉
some
of
his
,
therefore
hee
giues
them
warning
that
they
may
get
an
house
ouer
their
heads
before
the
storme
come
.
What
had
Noah
beene
better
then
all
the
rest
of
the
vngodly
World
,
if
God
had
not
giuen
him
warning
:
God
warned
him
that
hee
might
be
safe
in
the
evill
day
.
When
iudgements
come
,
and
are
walking
abroad
,
God
would
haue
his
people
within
doores
,
in
their
Chambers
,
their
doores
shut
vpon
them
.
Is.
26.
20
,
21.
and
therefore
to
this
end
giues
them
warning
.
2.
In
reference
to
such
as
shall
vndergoe
common
calamity
,
God
giues
them
warning
that
they
may
lay
in
,
and
lay
vp
that
which
may
support
and
vphold
them
in
the
time
of
distresse
.
God
would
haue
the
demeaner
and
behauiour
of
his
people
in
the
day
of
calamity
be
different
from
other
mens
.
He
would
haue
them
be
of
erected
spirits
,
free
from
those
distressing
perplexities
,
that
others
shal
be
swallowed
vp
withall
.
Therefore
hee
giues
warning
that
so
they
may
gather
that
which
may
strengthen
them
at
such
a
time
:
certainely
if
God
should
giue
no
warning
,
there
would
bee
little
difference
seene
and
discerned
betweene
the
righteous
,
and
the
wicked
;
betweene
him
that
serueth
God
,
and
him
that
serues
him
not
.
Mal.

Little
difference
would
bee
seene
in
their
carriages
vnder
the
pressures
of
calamity
:
You
should
see
Euery
man
with
his
hands
on
his
loynes
,
as
a
Woman
in
trauaile
,
and
all
faces
turned
into
palenesse
.
Ier.

God
would
haue
his
people
haue
more
blood
in
their
faces
,
then
the
common
sort
wil
haue
in
such
a
time
.
God
would
not
haue
Faith
and
Religion
so
pale
faced
,
and
so
white
liuer'd
,
as
ciuility
,
and
morality
,
will
be
at
such
a
time
.
Therefore
God
giues
them
warning
,
that
so
their
prouisions
may
be
such
agaynst
the
day
of
euill
;
as
that
their
carriages
may
be
masculine
,
beseeming
God
and

Quest.
How
doth
God
giue
warning
of
wrath
,
and
iudgements
comming
?
Ans.
1.
God
giues
warning
many
wayes
.
1.
By
extraordinary
,
and
immediate
Reuelation
.
Thus
was
Noah
heere
warned
of
God
,

〈◊〉

〈◊〉
,
warned
of
God
.
God
in
a
dreame
immediately
warned
them
.
And
thus
were
all
the
Prophets
warned
of
God
,
of
the
iudgements
that
were
to
come
vpon
the
Iewes
,
and
other
Nations
.
And
thus
specially
is
that
to
be
vnderstood
.
Amos
3.
7.
Surely
the
Lord
God
will
doe
nothing
,
but
he
reueales
his
secrets
vnto
his
seruants
the
Prophets
.
God
by
the
extraordinary
reuelation
of
his
spirit
,
gaue
them
warning
what
hee
meant
to
doe
.
Thus
God
made
knowne
to
Nebucadnezar
what
should
come
to
passe
afterwards
.
Daniel

By
prodigious
signes
,
and

both
in
Heauen
and

God
calls
his
worke
of
iudgement
,
a
strange
worke
;
and
a
strange
act
.
Isa.
28.
21.
And
when
God
doth
these
strange
acts
,
and
workes
of
nationall
iudgements
,
hee
giues
warnings
many
times
thereof
by
some
strange
precursory
signes
and
prodigies
:
Commonly
some
strange
praemonitory
signes
fore
runne
,
strange
executions
of
iustice
:
We
haue
a
text
for
it
.
Luke
21.
11.
Great
earthquakes
shal
be
in
diuerse
places
,
and
famines
,
and
pestilences
,
and
fearefull
fights
;
and
great
signes
shall
there
bee
from
Heauen
:
And
so
it
came
to
passe
before
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
by
a
prodigious
comet
,
and
other
fearefull
sights
God
gaue
them
warning
of
their
approaching
ruine
.
Wee
shall
seldome
finde
any
calamitous
time
to
haue
befallen
this
kingdome
which
hath
not
had
a
fore-warning
giuen
of
it
by
some
prodigious
things
such
as
was
the
rayning
of
blood
at
Yorke
,
sometime
before
the
Danes
entrance
into
the
Land
,
and
others
many
of
the
like
nature
,
as
they
know
well
that
are
but
any
thing
seene
into
our
Chronicles
.
And
what
inconuenience
can
it
be
to
coniecture
,
that
God
by
that
prodigious
blazing
Starre
,
Anno
1618.
gaue
the
churches
warning
of
the
heavie
and
lamentable
times
that
haue
since
ensued
,
&
yet
happily
are
to
ensue
.
God
had
a
strange
worke
,
and
a
strange
act
,
to
doe
,
and
he
gaue
warning
of
it
by
as
strange
a
blazing
Starre
as
had
bin
seene
in
many
ages
.
God
speakes
by
all
such
signes
,
and
therefore
wee
reade
of
the
words
of
Gods
signes
and

voyce
they
speake
not
onely
to
our
eyes
,
but
to
our
eares
also
.
They
are
not
onely
to
be
gazed
upon
,
but
to
bee
hearkened
to

Psal.

Our
fathers
vnderstood
not
thy
wonders
in
Egypt
,
Gods
wonders
then
haue
a
language
,
and
they
are
not
onely
to
bee
lookt
vppon
,
but
their
language
must
be
vnderstood
.
Now
their
words
are
Monitory
words
,
their
language
is
a
Monitory
language
,
and
they
giue
vs
warning
that
some
great
iudgements
are
at
hand
.

God
giues
warning
by
the
Ministery
of
the
word
.
Though
Gods
ministers
haue
not
an
Oraculous
warning
by
Immediate
Revelation
;
yet
they
may
see
an
evill
in
the
causes
,
as
a
storme
in
the
black
cloudes
,
and
by
considering
,
and
comparing
things
present
,
with
things
past
,
and
looking
into
Gods
ancient
wayes
may
see
in
the
general
that
mischiefe
is
comming
,
and
so
from
God
giue
warning
.
Elisha
hath
his
sword
as
well
as

and
Hazael
.

And
when
Elisha
vnsheathes
and
brandishes
his
sword
,
it
is
a
faire
warning
that
the
sword
of
Iehu
,
and
Hazael
are
at
hand
.
God
cuts
downe
by
his
Prophets
,
and
slayes
by
the
wordes
of
his
mouth
.

before
hee
bringes
in
enemyes
to
kill
and
slay
,
and
when
his
Ministers
are
killing
and
slaying
it
is
a
warning
signe
that
enemyes
shall
come
to
doe
the
like
.
So
Ieremy
rootes
out
,
pulles
downe
,
destroyes
,
and
throwes
downe
Kingdomes
.
Ier.

And
when
Ieremy
begins
to
plucke
vp
&
destroy
,
it
is
an
ill
signe
that
Babilonians
,
and
other
nations
are
comming
at
hand
to
doe
the
same
worke
.
Whatsoeuer
ye
bind
on
earth
shal
be
bound
in
heauen
;
and
so
whatsoeuer
yee
roote
out
on
earth
shal
be
rooted
out
in
heauen
;
is
not
onely
true
of
an
extraordinary
and
propheticall
Ministry
,
but
of
the
ordinary
standing
ministry
of
the
Church
,
when
Ministers
go
to
worke
Claue
non
erante
,
and
follow
the
rules
and
grounds
of
the
word
.
The
watchman
giues
warning
.
Eze.

but
how
?
if
he
blow
the
trumpet
,
and
giue
warning
.
When
Gods
watchmen
blow
the
trumpet
,
then
God
giues
warning
.
Specially
then
are
the
warnings
of
Gods
Ministers
to
be
taken
as
warnings
from
God
,
when
God
shal
stirre
vp
the
harts
of
his
seruants
euery
where
in
all
parts
,
&
places
of
a
kingdome
far
distant
,
and
remote
each
from
other
,
to
giue
warning
to
a
Kingdome
.
That
looke
as
it
is
an
argument
of
the
diuine
authority
of
prophetical
Scripture
,
that
the
Prophets
though
they
liued
in
diuerse
places
and
ages
of
the
world
,
yet
they
so
al
agreed
in
one
&
the
same
truth
as
if
they
had
all
spoken
by
one
mouth
.
Hence
Luke
.
1.
70.
As
he
spake
by
the
mouth
of
his
holy
Prophets
.
There
were
many
Prophets
yet
but
one
mouth
,
they
all
so
agreed
that
though
there
were
diverse
persons
,
yet
but
one
mouth
,
as
hee
spake
by
the
mouth
,
not
the
mouthes
of
his
holy
Prophets
which
haue
beene
since
the
world
began
.
So
here
,
when
God
doth
stirre
vp
his
seruants
in
all
parts
of
a
kingdome
,
and
sets
them
all
on
worke
as
with
one
mouth
to
giue
warning
of
wrath
,
it
may
be
taken
for
no
lesse
then
a
diuine
warning
from
God
himselfe
.

God
giues
warning
by
his
administration
,
and
dealing
with
other
nations
,
and
Churches
.
Gods
rods
are
not
only
smarting
rods
to
them
vpon
whom
they
are
,
but
they
are
monitory
&
warning
rods
to
those
vpon
whom
as
yet
they
are
not
.

God
then
aimed
at
this
in
his
Iudgements
vpon
other
nations
that
Ierusalem
should
take
warning
.
Then
God
giues
warning
when
he
puts
the
sword
into
Commission
.
It
is
warning
when
he
whets
his
sword
,
but
much
more
when
he
giues
the
sword
a
Commission
.
Ezekel

If
I
say
;
Sword
goe
through
a
land
,
so
that
I
cut
off
man
and
beast
from
it
.
There
is
the
sword
put
in
Commission
,
and
being
so
put
in
Commission
,
there
is
warning
giuen
of
approaching
calamitie
.
We
may
know
the
sword
to
be
in
Commission
as
wee
know
the
Iudges
of
Assize
to
bee
.
When
we
see
the
Iudges
ride
circuite
,
and
goe
from
one
shire
towne
to
another
,
and
doe
executions
vppon
malefactors
:
then
wee
know
they
haue
their
Commissions
:
Iudges
may
not
ride
circuit
without
their
Commissions
.
So
when
wee
see
the
sword
ride
circuit
,
and
doe
Executions
euery
where
as
it
goes
,
and
cannot
bee
staide
,
but
it
prospers
and
preuailes
,
then
without
all
question
it
is
in
Commission
.
When
it
goes
through
Lands
,
and
Prouinces
,
and
Churches
,
and
cuts
off
man
and
beast
,
then
questionlesse
God
hath
said
,
Sword
,
Go.
See
Ier.
47.
6
,
7.
Oh
thou
sword
of
the
Lord
,
how
long
will
it
be
ere
thou
bee
quiet
:
put
vp
thy selfe
into
thy
scabberd
,
rest
and
be
still
.
Like
inough
Ashkelon
,
and
the
Philistins
vsed
all
the
policie
,
and
power
they
could
:
but
all
their
Combinations
,
Confederacies
,
Leagues
,
Vnions
,
could
do
no
good
.
For
all
these
the
sword
was
restlesse
,
and
prospered
strangely
,
and
not
by
any
weakenesse
of
theirs
,
nor
by
any
strength
of
the
enemy
the
victory
still
lost
:
so
as
a
diuine
hand
of
God
was
manifest
therein
.
What
might
the
reason
of
all
this
be
?
It
had
a
charge
:
How
can
it
be
quiet
,
seeing
the
Lord
hath
giuen
it
a
charge
against
Ashkelon
.
When
the
sword
hath
a
Commission
,
it
doth
as
Samuel
did
,
1.
Sam.
7.
16.
He
went
from
yeare
to
yeare
in
circuit
to
Bethel
,
and
Gilgal
and
Mizpeh
,
and
iudged
Israel
in
all
those
places
,
and
his
returne
was
to
Ramah
.
Now
looke
then
,
as
when
Samuel
was
at
Bethel
,
then
they
had
warning
that
hee
was
comming
to
Gilgal
,
when
he
was
at
Gilgal
then
had
they
warning
that
hee
was
comming
to
do
Iudgment
at
Mizpeh
:
So
when
the
sword
is
once
walking
circuit
to
iudge
,
if
it
bee
come
to
Bethel
,
it
is
a
warning
that
it
is
comming
to
Gilgal
,
if
at
Gilgal
,
there
is
a
warning
for
Mizpeh
.
Let
other
Kingdomes
,
and
Churches
,
that
stands
by
and
looke
on
,
let
them
take
this
as
a
warning
from
God
,
that
the
sword
is
comming
to
execute
iudgements
amongst
them
.
Then
it
is
a
warning
that
God
will
giue
men
to
the
sword
:
when
euill
goes
forth
from
nation
to
nation
,
Ier.
25.
32.
And
why
should
other
nations
bee
amazed
,
and
their
Kings
be
horribly
afraid
,
and
tremble
euery
man
for
his
owne
life
in
the
day
of
Egypts
fall
by
the
sword
,
Ezech.

were
it
not
but
that
Gods
dealing
with
Egypt
,
were
a
warning
of
the
like
wrath
,
and
ruine
comming
vppon
themselues
?
5
God
giues
warning
by
doing
,
as
Psal.
78.
50.
He
made
a
way
to
his
anger
,
he
gaue
their
life
ouer
to
the
pestilence
.
God
brought
the
pestilence
amongst
them
,
but
yet
first
he
made
a
way
for
his
anger
,
and
his
making
of
a
way
,
was
a
warning
that
wrath
was
comming
.
God
when
he
meanes
that
wrath
shall
enter
indeed
:
hee
doth
not
presently
let
it
breake
in
;
but
first
makes
a
way
for
it
,
takes
all
things
out
of
the
way
,
that
may
stop
or
hinder
it
in
its
passage
,
or
be
any
rub
to
it
in
its
entrance
.
Now
then
when
we
see
God
preparing
,
and
making
the
way
,
then
hee
giues
warning
of
wrath
comming
,
and
being
at
hand
.
When
Christ
was
to
manifest
himselfe
in
his
ministerie
,
first
Iohn
Baptist
must
come
before
him
,
and
his
office
was
,
Mark
.
1.
3.
To
prepare
the
way
of
the
Lord
.
Now
then
those
that
had
eyes
to
see
Iohn
Baptist
preparing
a
way
for
Christ
,
might
easily
see
that
God
gaue
warning
,
that
Christ
himselfe
was
shortly
to
come
:
because
Iohn
was
preparing
a
way
for
him
.
So
when
God
is
preparing
a
way
for
wrath
,
such
as
haue
eyes
to
see
the
way
preparing
,
may
see
God
giuing
warning
,
that
some
heauie
iudgement
and
calamitie
is
at
hand
.
When
the
Kings
harbengers
come
before
,
and
prepare
for
the
King
,
it
is
a
warning
to
such
places
that
the
King
is
comming
.
God
so
deales
in
the
bringing
in
of
iudgements
vpon
a
nation
,
as
he
did
in
bringing
in
that
great
plague
vppon
the
Church
,
in
bringing
in
Antichrist
into
the
world
,
2.
Thess.
2.
7.
The
mistery
of
iniquitie
doth
already
worke
,
onely
hee
who
letteth
will
let
,
vntill
he
be
taken
out
of
the
way
.
That
plague
was
breeding
long
before
it
brake
forth
and
came
to
ripenesse
:
but
there
was
a
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
;
namely
,
the
Romane
Ethnick
Emperours
that
stood
in
the
way
,
and
till
they
were
first
done
out
of
the
way
,
the
man
of
sinne
could
not
enter
:
but
when
that
let
should
be
taken
out
of
the
way
,
and
so
a
way
made
,
Then
shall
that
wicked
one
be
reuealed
,
v.
8.
So
that
when
that
let
was
done
away
,
and
so
a
way
making
,
such
as
had
then
eyes
to
see
it
,
might
see
that
God
gaue
warning
that
Antichrist
was
now
comming
into
the
world
.
So
it
is
in
this
case
,
Iudgement
is
breeding
long
before
it
comes
.
God
hath
a
purpose
to
bring
it
,
but
yet
many
times
there
bee
some
lets
in
the
way
that
it
cannot
well
come
till
they
bee
remoued
;
God
therefore
prepares
,
and
makes
a
way
for
the
intended
Iudgement
by
remouing
,
and
taking
out
of
the
way
euery
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
euery
let
that
may
hinder
it
when
it
comes
.
And
when
●he
way
is
making
,
God
giues
warning
that
the
Iudgment
is
comming
.
Now
God
commonly
makes
the
way
by
two
things
;
The
Moath
and
the
Hornet
.
And
when
those
two
come
then
are
the
harbengers
come
,
and
the
Iohn
Baptists
of
the
Iudgement
.
1
The
Moath
,
when
God
meanes
to
bring
a
Iudgment
vpon
a
Kingdome
hee
first
giues
warning
by
making
way
for
it
by
the
Moath
.
God
threatens
,
Hos.
5.
14.
a
terrible
Iudgment
that
hee
will
be
to
Ephraim
as
a
Lyon
,
and
as
a
young
Lyon
to
the
House
of
Iudah
,
that
hee
will
teare
and
goe
away
,
&c.
But
will
God
giue
no
warning
,
yes
that
he
will
,
and
faire
warning
too
.
And
how
?
By
making
way
,
for
the
Lyon
by
the
moath
v.
12.
I
will
bee
vnto
Ephraim
as
a
moath
,
and
to
the
House
of
Iudah
as
rottennesse
.
The
moath
is
a
secret
insensible
Iudgment
that
gradually
,
and
insensibly
eates
out
the
heart
and
strength
of
a
State
,
and
by
the
weakning
of
a
State
prepares
it
for
a
fatall
desolatory
Iudgment
.
A
moath
eates
now
one
threed
,
then
another
,
makes
now
one
hole
,
then
another
,
and
so
by
degrees
wasting
,
and
rotting
the
garment
perpares
it
with
much
ease
,
to
be
rent
in
pieces
.
It
is
difficult
to
rende
in
pieces
a
strong
sound
garment
,
but
when
once
it
is
all
moath
eaten
,
and
rotten
,
how
easy
is
it
for
any
:
much
more
for
a
Lion
to
rende
it
:
thus
therefore
would
God
prepare
Ephraim
for
the
Lion
by
the
moath
,
and
by
the
moath
giue
him
warning
of
the
Lion
.
What
this
moath
is
wee
may
see
plainely
by
that
,
Isay
.

with
the
eight
verse
.
In
the
eight
verse
,
God
threatens
the
ruine
and
the
fall
of
Iudah
and
Ierusalem
.
But
wil
God
come
suddainly
vppon
them
?
No
,
hee
will
giue
them
faire
warning
:
But
how
?
By
making
way
for
their
fatall
blow
,
and
for
the
Lions
clawes
by
the
teeth
of
the
moath
.
First
before
the
Lion
comes
they
shal
see
a
way
making
for
him
by
the
moath
.

for
the
Lord
of
hoast
doth
take
away
from
Ierusalem
,
and
from
Iudah
the
stay
and
the
staffe
.
First
God
before
he
ruines
them
will
weaken
them
,
and
by
some
precursory
Iudgement
wil
infeeble
them
by
taking
from
them
whatsoeuer
might
strenghten
them
against
an
enemy
,
that
when
an
enemy
comes
,
they
shal
haue
no
stay
,
nor
staffe
to
rest
vpon
against
him
.
If
an
enemy
doe
offer
to
make
an
invasion
;
yet
if
a
people
be
well
stored
with
prouisions
,
they
haue

store
of

,
trading
be
quick
,
that
there
be
no
generall
pouerty
and
penury
in
the
Land
,
it
is
a
great
stay
against
an
enemy
,
it
is
a
strong
threed
in
the
garment
.
Againe
if
an

doe
attempt
an

,
yet
if
the

Ancient
,

,
if
withal
it

,
men

,
mighty
men
,
Captaines
of

this
is

It

that
hath

Therefore
that
it
may

God
will
send
some
Iudgement
before
hand
that
moath-like
shall
eate
asunder
those
threeds
,
hee
will
bring
in
the
decay
of
trading
which
is
the
bread
of
a
Land
,
hee
will
now
take
away
one
Prudent
man
,
then
another
,
now
such
a
man
of
warre
,
and
then
another
,
and
thus
by
degrees
so
weaken
them
that
when
an
enemy
should
come
hauing
al
resistances
remoued
he
may
with
all
case
ruine
Iudah
and
Ierusalem
.
Thus
Iudah
by
the
moath
had
warning
of
the
Lyon
,
and
when
God
made
their
State
and
their
Kingdome
a
motheaten
Kingdome
,
he
thereby
gaue
them
warning
that
they
should
assuredly
fall
,
and
ruine
.

The
Hornet
.
When
God
meanes
to
bring
Iudgment
vpon
a
Kingdome
he
giues
warning
thereof
by
premising
and
fore-sending
,
the
hornet
.
Exod.
23.
28.
I
will
send
Hornets
before
thee
which
shall
driue
out
the
Hiuite
,
the
Canaanite
before
thee
.
What
that
Hornet
is
wee
may
see
v.
27.
I
will
send
my
feare
before
thee
,
and
will
destroy
all
the
people
to
whom
thou
shalt
come
and
I
will
make
all
thine
enemyes
turne
their
backes
vnto
thee
.
This
Hornet
then
was
nothing
else
but
the
misgiuing
feare
of
the
Canaanites
selfe-condemning
consciences
,
which
should
take
all
heart
and
courage
from
them
,
that
they
should
not
be
able
to
stand
it
out
in
the
day
of
battaile
,
but
their
owne
guilty
consciences
representing
vnto
them
their
deserts
,
should
Hornet-like
so
sting
them
with
feare
,
that
they
should
turne
their
backes
to
the
Israelites
.
And
this
was
that
which
Rahab
told
the
spies
,
and
vpon
which
shee
concludes
that
the
Land
was
theirs
,
Iosh.
2.
9.
11.
I
know
the
Lord
hath
giuen
you
the
land
.
How
did
she
know
it
?
she
saw
the
Hornet
was
come
before
,
and
had
stung
the
Canaanites
,
and
thereby
gaue
warning
of
ruine
,
And
that
your
terrour
is
fallen
vpon
vs
,
and
that
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
faynt
because
of
you
,
And
as
soone
as
we
had
heard
these
things
our
hearts
did
melt
,
neither
did
there
remayne
any
more
courage
in
any
man
because
of
you
.
Here
was
the
stinge
of
the
Hornet
,
here
was
the
Hornet
making
way
for
wrath
.
If
the
Canaanites
had
had
courage
and
spirit
,
and
should
haue
stood
stoutly
,
and
brauely
to
it
,
it
would
not
haue
been
so
easie
a
matter
for
Israel
to
haue
conquered
Canaan
,
but
now
because
God
would
ruine
the
Canaanites
,
and
giue
Israel
their
land
,
therefore
hee
sends
the
Hornet
before
to
make
way
for
their
entrance
,
and
so
to
sting
them
that
all
Courage
,
and
Heart
might
bee
taken
away
.
And
when
the
Canaanites
feele
this
stinging
Hornet
,
then
haue
they
plaine
warning
that
their
Desolation
is
approaching
.
This
is
that
Hornet
which
God
sent
before
the
Medes
,
to
make
way
for
the
destruction
of
the
Babylonians
,
Esay
.
13.
7
,
8
,
9.
And
this
is
that
Hornet
,
that
made
way
for
the
Babylonians
to
ruine
Ierusalem
,
Ier.
6.
24.
Wee
haue
heard
the
fame
thereof
,
our
hands
waxe
feeble
,
anguish
hath
taken
hold
of
vs
,
and
paine
as
of
a
woman
in
trauaile
.
This
was
that
Hornet
,
that
made
Pharaohs
armes
fall
downe
,
Ezech.
30.
25.
and
his
sword
to
fall
out
of
his
hands
,
v.
22.
Hee
was
so
stunge
at
the
heart
with
the
feare
of
the
King
of
Babylon
,
that
he
had
neither
strength
to
lift
vp
his
arme
,
nor
to
hold
his
sword
in
his
hand
.
As
the
Moath
takes
away
all
outward
stayes
and
helps
,
so
the
Hornet
takes
away
inward
Spirit
,
and
Courage
.
And
when
both
these
are
taken
away
,
how
faire
a
way
is
prepared
for
an
enemy
.
Where
euer
then
mens
hearts
melt
with
the
feare
of
an
enemie
,
from
the
guilt
of
selfe-condemning
conscinces
,
it
is
a
warning
from
God
,
that
wrath
is
comming
.
6
God
giues
warning
by
his
graduall
departure
from
a
Nation
and
a
Church
.
When
God
meanes
that
Iugdement
shall
come
,
hee
himselfe
will
first
depart
,
and
as
Iudgement
shall
come
,
so
will
he
goe
.
Iudgement
comes
not
all
at
once
vppon
a
nation
but
by
degrees
,
and
God
giues
it
an
admission
by
a
graduall
recesse
and
departure
.
Now
then
whensoeuer
God
beginnes
to
goe
,
then
is
it
a
faire
warning
that
Iudgement
is
comming
.
In
the
ninth
,
tenth
,
and
eleuenth
Chapters
of
Ezekiel
,
God
makes
diuers
remoues
.
And
we
shall
still
obserue
that
as
hee
goes
out
,
so
some
new
Iudgement
comes
in
.
1.
He
remoues
from
the
Cherubins
,
in
the
Oracle
to
the
threshold
,
Cap.
9.
3.
and
vppon
that
remoue
see
what
followes
,
ver.
5
,
6
,
7
,
&c.
2.
Hee
remoues
to
the
Cherubins
on
the
right
side
of
the
house
,
Cap.
10.
1.
and
vpon
that
remoue
see
what
followes
,
v.
2.
3.
He
remoues
to
the
East
gate
of
the
house
,
and
the
first
entrance
into
the
Temple
,
Cap.
10.
19.
and
see
what
followes
vppon
that
,
Cap.
11.
8
,
9
,
10.
4.
He
remoues
to
Mount
Oliuer
quite
out
of
the
citie
,
Cap.
11.
23.
And
when
God
was
gone
quite
out
,
then
followed
the
fatall
calamity
in
the
ruine
therof
.
Thus
still
as
God
went
out
,
Iudgement
came
in
,
and
by
these
steps
of
his
departure
,
hee
gaue
warning
of
the
comming
of
Iudgement
.
When
God
is
at
the
threshold
,
Iudgement
is
at
the
doores
.
So
Amos.
9.
1.
I
saw
the
Lord
standing
vppon
t●e
Altar
.
But
what
doth
the
Lord
standing
vppon
the
Altar
?
His
station
was
betweene
the
Cherubins
in
the
Holy
place
:
Giue
eare
thou
that
dwellest
betweene
the
Cherubins
.
Psal.
80.
1.
What
then
meanes
the
Lords
standing
vpon
the
Altar
?
surely
it
meanes
no
good
.
It
is
a
signe
God
was
going
,
he
hath
made
a
step
from
the
Cherubins
to
the
Altar
,
and
see
what
followes
in
that
place
:
namely
;
a
terrible
sentence
of
Iudgement
.
God
is
at
the
Altar
when
this
sentence
is
pronounced
.
It
is
in
this
case
as
it
was
in
that
.
Numb.
12.
9
,
10.
The
anger
of
the
Lord
was
kindled
against
them
,
and
he
departed
.
When
God
is
angry
,
then
will
he
depart
.
And
what
if
he
doe
,
what
wil
follow
?
And
the
cloude
departed
from
off
the
Tabernacle
,
and
behold
Miriam
became
Leprous
.
No
sooner
doth
God
depart
,
but
Iudgement
comes
in
his
roome
.
So
that
when
God
beginnes
to
set
his
first
foote
forward
,
it
is
a
faire
warning
of
euill
comming
.
The
destroying
Angells
could
do
nothing
to
Sodome
,
so
long
as
Lot
was
there
:
neither
can
desolatory
Iudgements
haue
power
ouer
a
Nation
so
long
as
God
is
graciously
present
with
them
.
Therefore
as
when
Lot
went
out
of
Sodome
,
in
that
day
fire
and
brimestone
came
downe
vpon
Sodome
,
so
when
God
once
goes
,
then
are
calamities
ready
to
crowde
in
vpon
a
Nation
.
Now
Gods
departure
hath
certaine
foote-steps
,
which
are
Ominous
presages
of
sorrow
at
hand
.
1
When
Idols
and
Idolatrie
enter
into
a
land
.
When
Gods
Arke
came
into
Dagons
Temple
,
then
Dagon
dropt
downe
,
but
when
Dagon
comes
into
Gods
Temple
,
and
rises
and
is
aduanced
there
,
then
God
is
going
.
See
Ezek.
8.
5.
6.
There
was
an
Image
of
Iealousie
,
and
therefore
God
would
go
farre
off
from
his
Sanctuary
.
Specially
are
Gods
jealous
eyes
prouoked
,
when
the
case
is
as
Ezek.
43.
8.
That
but
a
wall
betweene
God
,
and
Idols
.
Hee
likes
no
such
neere
neighbours
,
hee
will
be
gone
rather
then
brooke
such
neighbourhood
.
Nay
,
it
is
a
signe
that
God
is
already
in
some
measure
gone
,
for
had
he
held
his
owne
station
and
possession
,
how
could
they
haue
entred
.
Such
a
step
presages
great
calamitie
.
2
When
the
ministerie
of
a
Church
,
beginnes
to
grow
corrupt
and
vnfounde
in
doctrine
and
manners
:
when
Trueth
and
Holinesse
departs
,
God
departs
.
Hereupon
a
corrupt
ministrie
made
a
presage
of
calamitie
.
Hos.
9.
7.
The
dayes
of
visitation
are
come
,
the
dayes
of
recompence
are
come
,
Israel
shall
know
it
,
Nay
Israel
may
know
it
before
they
come
:
But
how
?
The
Prophet
is
a
foole
,
the
spirituall
man
is
mad
.
When
Prophets
,
and
spirituall
men
once
beginne
to
bee
fooles
,
and
to
bee
mad
,
to
bee
out
of
their
spirituall
wits
,
and
out
of
the
way
of
truth
,
then
looke
for
the
dayes
of
visitation
:
because
when
trueth
goes
,
God
goes
,
and
when
he
goes
no
good
can
come
.
3
It
is
a
manifest
step
of
Gods
departure
,
when
it
is
with
a
Nation
,
as
it
was
with
Sampson
.
Iudg.
16.
20.
He
wist
not
that
the
Lord
was
departed
from
him
.
But
God
was
departed
from
him
,
and
how
appeared
it
?
v.
19.
She
began
to
afflict
him
,
&
his
strength
went
from
him
:
he
thought
he
would
do
as
at
other
times
,
but
could
not
.
At
other
times
he
brake
the
greene
withes
,
at
other
times
hee
brake
new
roapes
,
at
other
times
hee
went
away
with
the
pin
of
the
beame
,
at
other
times
hee
was
still
too
good
for
the
Philistins
,
but
now
hee
could
not
doe
as
at
other
times
.
God
was
departed
from
him
,
and
therevpon
followed
that
misery
,
v.
21.
They
put
out
his
eyes
,
they
put
him
in
fetters
of
brasse
,
&c.
Gods
departure
gaue
warning
of
all
this
sorrow
,
and
in
that
his
strength
went
from
him
,
that
he
could
not
doe
as
at
other
times
;
this
was
the
impression
of
Gods
departing
foote
.
Thus
is
it
with
a
State
and
Nation
.
If
God
depart
from
them
,
he
thereby
giues
them
warning
to
looke
for
Philistins
,
fetters
of
brasse
,
and
the
prison
house
.
And
then
may
a
Nation
know
that
God
is
departing
if
not
departed
,
when
their
strength
is
departed
from
them
,
and
they
cannot
doe
as
they
haue
done
at
other
times
.
That
same
is
an
euident
step
of
Gods
departure
,
Ps.
60.
10.
Wilt
not
thou
O
God
which
hadst
cast
vs
off
?
and
thou
O
God
which
didst
not
go
out
with
our
armies
.
When
God
then
goes
not
forth
with
a
peoples
armies
,
he
casts
them
off
,
hee
departs
from
them
.
And
thus
God
departed
from
Egypt
,
and
gaue
them
by
this
step
of
his
departure
,
warning
of
their
destruction
.
Ier.
46.
14.
19.
Standfast
,
prepare
thee
,
for
the
sword
shall
deuoure
round
about
thee
,
furnish
thy selfe
to
goe
into
captiuitie
.
But
what
signe
or
likelihood
of
Captiuitie
?
See
v.
15.
16.
Why
are
thy
valiant
men
swept
away
?
they
stoode
not
because
the
Lord
did
driue
them
;
he
made
many
to
fal
,
yea
one
fell
vpon
another
,
&
they
said
:
Arise
,
let
vs
goe
againe
to
our
owne
people
,
&
to
the
land
of
our
natiuity
from
the
oppressing
sword
.
God
was
departed
from
them
,
their
enemies
beate
them
,
great
reason
hath
Egypt
to
take
warning
of
sword
and
Captiuitie
comming
vpon
her
:
when
a
Nations
shield
is
gone
,
what
can
they
looke
for
,
but
to
bee
bread
for
their
enemies
.
And
thus
doth
God
giue
warning
in
these
particulars
.
Vse
1.
Take
wee
heere
notice
,
of
Gods
gratious
dealing
with
this
sinfull
English
nation
.
Our
sinnes
are
such
,
that
God
might
haue
done
with
vs
,
as
with
Sodome
,
Lam.
4.
6.
That
was
ouerthrown
as
in
a
moment
.
God
might
suddenly
haue
surprized
vs
,
&
haue
let
in
the
flood
of
his
wrath
to
haue
swallowed
vs
vp
in
a
moment
.
But
heere
may
I
say
as
Paul
,
Rom.
11.
22.
Behold
the
goodnesse
,
and
the
seueritie
of
God
:
The
Seuerity
of
God
in
his
purposes
of
wrath
against
vs
:
The
Goodnesse
of
God
,
in
his
gratious
warnings
,
wherin
he
giues
vs
intelligence
of
his
Intentions
.
This
day
is
this
trueth
fulfilled
in
our
eyes
.
Wee
see
it
true
for
our
parts
,
that
God
giues
faire
warnings
before
Iudgement
ceaze
vpon
a
people
.
God
neuer
gaue
any
fairer
warning
then
he
hath
giuen
vs
:
we
haue
had
warnings
in
all
these
kindes
:
For
,
1.
What
if
I
should
say
that
God
giues
vs
warning
by
Oracle
?
Seemes
he
not
to
doe
it
,
Apoc.
3.
10.
Speakes
he
not
of
an
houre
of
temptation
which
shall
come
vpon
all
the
world
?
Seemes
not
that
houre
to
be
already
begunne
?
Surely
if
that
Scripture
looke
so
farre
towards
the
ends
of
the
world
,
and
if
meant
of
an
houre
of
temptation
,
to
come
in
this
last
houre
of
the
world
:
then
may
we
say
of
this
,
as
our
Sauiour
Christ
of
that
,
This
is
the
houre
,
and
the
power
of
darkenesse
.
The
present
troubles
of
the
Church
,
may
seeme
to
be
the
beginning
of
that
houre
.
But
to
let
this
passe
,
if
God
warne
not
vs
thus
yet
want
we
no
warnings
.
2.
If
prodigious
signes
and
wonders
bee
warnings
,
then
judge
if
God
haue
not
warned
vs
.
Besides
that
common
warning
,
which
God
gaue
vs
with
the
rest
of
his
Churches
,
in
that
prodigious
Comet
wee
haue
had
peculiar
warnings
in
this
kinde
.
God
gaue
vs
warning
in
that
wonder
of
the
doubled
tydes
in
the
riuer
of
Thames
.
God
gaue
vs
warning
in
that
Earth-quake
March
27.
1626.
God
gaue
vs
faire
warning
in
that
prodigious
storme
in
the
Citie
,
that
fetcht
the
dead
bodies
out
of
their
graues
:
together
with
that
stupendious
sight
vppon
the
water
.
And
amongst
diuers
others
,
I
dare
not
slight
that
hand
of
God
in
sending
Iohn
Friths
preparation
to
the
Crosse
,
in
the
fish
bellie
to
the
Vniuersitie

If

then
much
more
the

is
a

What

of

of

What

that

by

picked

but
the
Moath
sent
of
God
to
prepare
,
and
make
way
for
a
rending
,
and
a
ramping
Lyon
?
As
if
God
had
said
,
I
am
determined
to
bring
a
smarting
judgement
vppon
England
:
but
I
see
such
a
mightie
man
,
such
a
man
of
courage
and
skill
,
he
will
be
a
great
hinderance
to
an
enemie
at
his
comming
in
,
hee
may
bee
a
stop
,
and
a
rub
in
an
enemies
way
:
therefore
I
will
take
him
out
of
the
way
,
that
so
judgement
may
passe
on
smoothly
without
any
checke
.
And
when
we
haue
heard
the
fame

and
rumour
of
enemies
approaching
;
alas
what
a
deadly

hath
the
Hornet
stricken

how
haue
our
selfe-condemning
hearts

vnder
the

guilt
melted
like

6.
Lastly
,
vnlesse
wee
will
wilfully
shut
our
eyes
,
may
we
not
trace
God
in
the
foote-steps
of
his
departure
from
vs
?
May
wee
not
finde
him
from
betweene
the
Cherubins
,
and
remoued
not
onely
to
the
threshold
:
but
in
a
manner
to
the
East-gate
of
the
house
,
as
if
hee
had
but
one
remoue
more

to

gone
quite

Shewes
not

And
what

the
going

as
at

When

spake
,
there
was
trembling
,
but
when
he

in

he

Ephraim
was
terrible
to
all
his

and
who
durst

against

name
of

;
but
when
Baal
was

God
was
gone
,
and
then
euery
paltry
aduersary
trampled
vpon
him
,
and
feared
him
no
more
then
a
dead
man
.
How
dreadfull
hath
the
English
name
,
and
the
English
sword
beene
to
all
our
aduersaries
;
when
England
spake
,
there
was
trembling
?

And
Lord
what
shall
we
say
when
England
turnes
her
backe
vpon
her
enemies
?
What
shall
we
say
?
What
can
we
say
,
but
that
God
is
departing
from
vs
,
and
giues
vs
warning
thereby
,
of
fearefull
afterclaps
like
to
follow

hitherto

Hitherto
haue
we
beene
terrible
;
but
it
is

Surely
God
giues
vs

that
our
shield
is
going
,
and
that
if
we
take
not
a
course
to
fetch
him
backe
againe

when

then

Two
thing●
should
make
vs
take
warning
.
1.
The
great
danger
that
will
follow
vpon
warning
▪
neglected
.
Gods
warnings
neglected
,
doe
but
exasperate
wrath
,
and
will
make
vengeance
so
much
the
smarter
when
it
comes
.
See
the
danger
of
not
taking
warning
.
Ezek.
33.

If
the
watchman
blow
the
trumpet
and
warne
the
people
,
then
whosoeuer
heares
the
sound
of
the
trumpet
,
and
takes
not
warning
,
if
the
sword
come
and
take
him
away
,
his
bloud
shal
be
vpon
his
owne
head
;
he
heard
the
sound
of
the
trumpet
,
and
took
not
warning
,
his
bloud
shall
bee
vpon
him
.
Calamity
single
and
alone
,
will
prooue
burden
heauy
enough
;
calamity
with
guilt
,
and
iniquity
vpon
our
heads
,
the
guilt
of
the
neglect
of
Gods
warnings
will
prooue
calamity
vnsupportable
.
2.
The
great
ensuing
benefit
vpon
warning
taken
.
Let
things
be
euer
so
dangerous
and
desperate
,
yet
if
men
would
take
Gods
warnings
,
there
were
possibility
enough
to
saue
all
.
Safety
and
preuention
of
dangers
lies
in
taking
of
warning
.
Noahs
taking
of
warning
,
was
the
sauing
of
his
house
.
Hee
that
takes
warning
shall
deliuer
his
soule
.
Ezek.
33.
5.
The
King
of
Syria
find
many
dangerous
proiects
against
the
King
of
Israel
;
Elisha
still
giues
the
King
of
Israel
warning
of
the
danger
.
2.
King
.
6.
10.
The
King
of
Israel
took
his
warning
,
and
what
was
the
issue
?
Hee
sent
to
the
place
which
the
man
of
God
had
told
him
,
and
warned
him
of
,
and
he
saued
himselfe
there
not
once
nor
twice
.
The
way
to
saue
our selues
from
the
dangers
wee
are
warned
of
,
is
to
take
Gods
warnings
.
Looke
vpon
all
the
warnings
God
hath
giuen
vs
,
and
consider
if
it
may
not
be
sayd
of
vs
as
of
Moab
.
Ier.
48.
16.
The
calamity
of
Moab
is
neere
to
come
,
and
his
affliction
hasteth
fast
.
Yea
consider
,
if
we
haue
not
the
buds
of
the
figtree
,
telling
vs
that
summer
is
nigh
,
and
that
iudgement
is
neere
euen
at
the
doores
.
And
hastens
our
affliction
,
and
sit
we
still
?
As
wee
desire
to
preuent
the
fatall
ruine
of
this
renowmed
Church
and
Kingdome
,
so
in
the
feare
of
God
be
wee
perswaded
to
take
warning
.
But
how
is
that
to
be
done
,
wherein
stands
this
taking
of
warning
?
That
is
now
the
second
thing
in
the
Text.
Noahs
wisedome
in
taking
warning
.
God
giues
,
and
he
takes
warning
;
and
that
1.
in
beleeuing
it
:
2.
in
fearing
it
:
3.
in
making
vse
of
it
for
safety
.
1.
In
beleeuing
it
.
By
faith
Noah
&c.
That
should
indeed
be
mens
wisedomes
to
take
Gods
warnings
by
beleeuing
.
God
is
to
bee
beleeued
in
his
threatnings
,
aswell
as
in
his
promises
.
And
this
was
the
Niniuites
wisedome
.
Ion.
3.
5.
So
the
people
of
Niniueh
beleeued
God
.
And
this
is
the
first
ground
of
safety
.
If
Noah
had
not
beleeued
,
he
had
not
feared
;
if
he
had
not
feared
,
he
had
not
prepared
an
Arke
;
if
an
Arke
had
not
beene
prepared
he
had
perished
.
But
now
his
Arke
saues
him
;
out
of
fayth
and
feare
hee
builds
his
Arke
.
And
this
is
it
God
lookes
for
at
our
hands
,
that
after
so
many
warnings
we
should
beleeue
him
.
Noah
did
so
;
and
though
hee
were
warned
by
immediate
Reuelation
,
and
in
that
regard
had
more
reason
to
beleeue
then
wee
haue
,
yet
againe
in
some
respects
wee
hau●
more
reason
to
beleeue
then
he
had
.
For
1.
He
was
warned
onely
once
,
and
that
an
hundre●
and
twenty
yeeres
before
the
flood
came
;
we
reade
o●
no
more
warnings
that
hee
had
.
In
an
hundred
an●
twenty
yeeres
he
might
haue
an
hundred
and
twent●
doubts
and
questions
in
his
heart
,
whether
it
shoul●
be
so
or
no.
But
we
haue
had
warning
vpon
warning
▪
seuerall
kinds
of
warnings
,
and
euery
of
these
iterate
▪
So
that
as
God
speakes
to
Moses
in
that
case
,
Exod.
4
1.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

9.
so
it
may
bee
sayd
of
vs
.
So
that
i●
regard
of
the
variety
and
frequency
of
our
warnings
▪
we
haue
more
reason
to
beleeue
then
Noah
had
.
2.
He
was
warned
,
as
the
text
saith
,
of
things
as
yet
not
ene
;
and
yet
he
beleeues
,
there
was
nothing
in
naturall
course
that
presaged
the
flouds
.
He
sees
nothing
till
the
floud
begins
,
and
yet
he
beleeued
.
Now
in
this
regard
wee
haue
more
reason
to
beleeue
than
hee
.
He
was
warned
of
things
not
seene
,
but
we
are
warned
of
things
seene
;
we
cannot
say
in
this
case
as
the
Church
complaines
in
another
,
Psal.
74.
9.
We
see
not
our
signes
:
we
see
our
signes
,
euen
all
signes
of
a
flood
that
may
be
.
Except
ye
see
signes
and
wonders
,
saith
our
Sauiour
in
another
case
,
ye
will
not
beleeue
,
Ioh.
4.
48.
it
was
somewhat
yet
,
that
they
would
beleeue
then
:
we
see
signes
and
wonders
,
and
yet
wee
beleeue
not
.
Except
I
may
see
and
feele
,
saith
Thomas
,
I
will
not
beleeue
,
Ioh.
20.
25.
but
when
he
did
see
and
feele
,
he
beleeued
.
We
if
we
haue
not
lost
our
sight
and
senses
,
both
see
and
feele
,
and
yet
will
not
beleeue
.
The
people
of
Nineveh
beleeued
God
,
when
Ionas
warned
them
,
yet
forty
dayes
&c.
The
men
of
Nineveh
will
rise
vp
in
iudgement
against
vs
of
this
Nation
:
they
had
farre
lesse
reason
to
beleeue
than
wee
haue
,
and
yet
they
beleeued
;
we
haue
farre
more
reason
to
beleeue
,
and
yet
we

They
had
but
one
witnesse
,
we
are
compassed
about
with
a
cloude
of
witnesses
.
2.
They
were
warned
but
once
,
we
haue
beene
warned
vnto
wearinesse
.
3.
They
could
see
no
likelihood
of
any
such
suddaine
danger
,
they
knew
of
no
preparations
abroad
;
they
see
no
enemies
begirting
their
City
with
a
siege
,
they
were
a
strong
and
a
well
prouided
City
;
we
heare
and
know
of
enemies
,
of
potent
and
provoked
enemies
,
and
of
their
great
preparations
.
4.
They
were
Heathens
and
Idolaters
that
professed
not
the
name
of
God
;
we
glory
in
our
Christian
title
and
profession
,
in
our
beleeuing
in
God
.
5.
They
were
warned
onely
by
a
stranger
,
one
of
a
nation
held
in
suspition
and
ielousie
.
If
some
Spaniard
should
now
come
into
England
and
threaten
it
with
desolation
within
forty
dayes
,
what
little
regard
would
we
giue
vnto
it
.
But
we
are
warned
and
threatned
by
those
of
our
owne
nation
,
of
whose
loue
,
loyalty
,
and
fidelity
wee
can
make
no
doubt
;
by
those
that
pray
for
the
welfare
of
the
Nation
,
and
wrestle
mightily
with
God
for
the
peace
of
it
.
Here
is
a
great
deale
of
oddes
betweene
Englands
and
Ninevehs
warnings
,
and
yet
Nineueh
beleeued
God
,
and
wee
beleeued
him
not
.
We
haue
more
warnings
,
they
more
fayth
.
The
men
of
Nineueh
will
iudge
this
nation
for
their
vnbeleefe
.
How
long
,
and
how
often
hath
God
warned
vs
by
his
Ministers
,
and
yet
may
they
say
as
Is.

Lord

hath

Behold

in

which
ye
will
not

though

It
is
iust
our
case
,
though
wee
heare
that
which
may
make
both
our
eares

,
yet
we
will
not
beleeue

It
is

it
was
in

Paul
there
giues
them
fayre
warning
:
Sirs
,
I
perceiue
that
this
voyage
will
be
with
hurt
,
and
much
dammage
not
onely
of
the
lading
and
the
ship
,
but
also
of
our
liues
.
And
so
it
prooued
in
the
sequel
.
But
v.
11.
The
Centurion
beleeued
the
master
and
the
owner
of
the
ship
more
then
those
things
which
were
spoken
by
Paul
.
We
are
warned
of
a
storme
,
and
that
no
small
tempest
is
like
to
lie
vpon
vs
,
and
that
all
hope
that
wee
shall
be
saued
is
like
to
be
taken
away
,
and
yet
for
all
this
we
are
readier
to
beleeue
any
that
will
comfort
vs
with
some
poore
shadowes
of
hope
,
then
to
beleeue
Gods
Pauls
.
Nay
wee
are
worse
then
the
Centurion
,
for
he
yet
beleeued
the
Master
,
and
the
owner
of
the
ship
,
and
if
hee
had
told
him
of
danger
,
hee
would
not
haue
loosed
from
Crete
.
Why
now
the
Master
and
Owner
of
the
ship
,
he
and
not
Paul
alone
tells
vs
of
the
danger
.
Our
souereigne
Lord
the
King
in
his
Proclamation
for
the
Parliament
,
and
for
the
Generall
Fast
,
giues
vs
to
vnderstand
of
potent
and
dangerous
enemies
,
and
their
preparations
.

If

,

,
will
not
be

,
yet
let
the
Owner
of
the

,
Gods
annointed

be
beleeued

Faith
would
saue
vs
in
this
kinde

If
the
Centurion
had
beleeued
Paul
,

the
ship
had
beene
saued
.
Sirs
,
ye
should
haue
hearkened
vnto
me
,
and
haue
gayned
this
harme
and
losse
.
They
beleeued
it
at
last
,
when
the
forepart
of
the
ship
stucke
fast
,
and
the
hinder
part
was
broken
with
the
violence
of
the
waues
.
It
is
too
late
to
beleeue
when
all
is
lost
;
it
is
good
beleeuing
when
somewhat
may
bee
saued
by
it
.

In
fearing
,
mooued
with
feare
.
This
must
bee
another
point
of
wisedome
to
take
warning
so
as
to
feare
.
The
warnings
of
wrath
should
worke
deepe
impressions
of
feare
in
our
hearts
.

though
their

would
much
conduce
to

This
is
the
way
to
be

they
were

Much
might
be
sayd
to
this
point
,
but
I
must
contract
and
hasten
.

In
making
vse
of
it
for
safety
,
and
in
taking
a
course
for
the
preuention
of
those
dangers
hee
was
warned
of
,
prepared
an
Arke
.
And
this
is
the
speciall
point
of
wisedome
aboue
the
rest
.
Prou.

A
wise
man
foreseeth
the
euill
.
That
indeed
is
some
wisdome
,
but
that
is
not
all
;
And
he
hides
himselfe
.
That
's
the
speciall
wisedome
which
takes
a
course
for
safety
against
approaching
euills
.
This
is
that
we
are
to
doe
,
and
then
indeed
wee
take
Gods
warnings
when
wee
prouide
for
the
worst
.
And
thus
it
concernes
vs
to
do
now
,
if
euer
.
Doe
we
not
see
a
flood
comming
?
Why
then
are
we
not
at
our
Arkes
?
Why
will
wee
wilfully
perish
and
cast
away
our selues
?
When
a
flood
cames
,
what
would
a
man
giue
for
an
Arke
then
?
Ah
when
the
flood
is
come
,
what
will
be
the
miserable
madding
feares
of
such
as
shall
not
haue

the

Then
shall
the
men
crie
and
the
Inhabitants
of

land
shall
howle
&c.
The

shall
not
looke

How
deepe
and
weighty
is
the
oppression
of
such
feares
,
as
make
parents
grow
vnnaturall

Quest.
What
is
to
be
done
then
for
the
making
of
an
Arke
?
How
may
we
prouide
for
future
safety
?
Ans.
For
the
making
of
an
Arke
and
prouiding
for
future
safety
,
there
be
first
some
things
to
be
done
by
all
in
generall
.
Secondly
some
things
by
some
in
speciall
.
1.
Those
things
that
are
to
be
done
by
all
,
are
two
.
1.
Humiliation
and
deepe
abasement
of
our
soules
vnder
Gods
threatning
hand
.
So
that
here
wee
haue
cause
by
the
way
to
breake
out
into
thanksgiuing
,
and
to
say
as
Ezek.
7.
27.
Blessed
bee
the
Lord
God
which
hath
put
such
a
thing
as
this
into
the
Kings
heart
:
as
to
call
forth
the
whole
Land
to
the
duties
of
Humiliation
that
we
may
yet
beg
for
our
liues
.
Well
,
If
euer
we
will
make
an
Arke
for
the
land
,
and
prouide
for
our
safety
,
this
is
the
first
piece
of
timber
that
must
be
felled
and
squared
for
it
.
They
bee
great
things
that
Humiliation
will
doe
if
it
be
done
aright
.

When
men
are
cast
downe
then
shalt
thou
say
,
There
is
lifting
vp
,
and
he
shall
saue
the
humble
person
.
He
shall
deliuer
the
Island
of
the
innocent
.
Alas
,
we
are
downe
,
exceedingly
downe
from
the
ancient
excellency
of
former
times
.
How
now
might
we
recouer
the
ancient
glory
of
this
Island
?
Let
men
cast
themselues
downe
this
day
,
euen
downe
to
the
dust
,
and
lay
their
mouthes
in
the
dust
,
in
the
depth
;
a
truth
of
humiliation
:
and
though
it
were
ten
times
lower
with
vs
then
it
is
,
God
would
say
,
Behold
England
is
cast
down
,
There
shall
be
a
lifting
vp
.
What
is
our
errand
this
day
in
these
duties
of
humiliation
,
but
that
God
would
be
pleased
to
take
off
present
euils
from
vs
,
and
that
the
future
things
might
goe
well
with
vs
?
And
would
wee
now
in
good
earnest
preuayle
with
God
in
these
things
?
Humble
we
then
our
soules
seriously
this
day
before
our
God
.
Humiliation
indeed
will
doe
the
deed
.
See
2.
Chron.
12.

7.
The
Princes
of
Israel
,
and
the
King
humbled
themselues
,
and
they
said
,
The
Lord
is
righteous
:
And
when
the
Lord
saw
that
they
humbled
themselues
,
he
sayd
,
They
haue
humbled
themselues
,
therefore
I
will
not
destroy
them
&c.
And
againe
v.
12.
And
when
he
humbled
himselfe
,
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
turned
from
him
,
that
hee
would
not
destroy
him
,
and
also
in
Iudah
things
went
well
.
How
welcome
should
that
man
be
vnto
vs
,
that
could
put
vs
into
a
course
that
might
put
vs
in
hope
that
all
things
now
should
goe
well
with
vs
?
Loe
here
is
a
course
will
doe
it
.
Our
feares
and
dangers
are
exceeding
great
,
but
be
they
neuer
so
great
,
yet
if
we
this
day
do
all
deepely
humble
&
afflict
our
soules
,
&
powre
out
broken
and
bleeding
hearts
,
&
buckets
of
water
before
our
God
,
I
dare
be
the
man
that
shall
promise
you
hope
yet
of
sauing
all
.
I
dare
the
boldlier
doe
it
,
because
I
haue
a
text
for
it
.
Ezr.

yet
now
there
is
hope
in
Israel
concerning
this
thing
.
Now
there
is
hope
.
Why
now
?
There
was
praying
,
confessing
,
weeping
,
and
the
people
wept
very
sore
,
they
wept
a
great
weeping
.
Yet
now
,
sayes
Shecaniah
there
is
hope
:
as
if
he
had
sayd
,
though
our
danger
is
great
,
yet
now
vpon
this
humiliation
,
there
is
hope
all
shall
bee
well
.
As
therefore
wee
would
this
day
goe
home
from
this
duty
with
hope
,
so
doe
we
then
to
the
purpose
;
Let
hearts
split
in
sunder
,
rend
to
peeces
,
mourning
and
melting
hearts
in
confession
and
supplication
.
Doe
we
as
Manasseh
did
,
2.
Chron.
33.
12.
He
humbled
himselfe
greatly
.
Great
humiliation
will
send
vs
away
with
great
hope
.
2.
Personall
reformation
and
amendment
of
our
owne
euill
wayes
and
prouocations
.
Euery
soule
this
day
quit
his
hands
of
his
personall
guilt
.
It
is
the
wrath
of
God
from
whence
all
plagues
and
iudgements
come
.
Nos

They
bee
our
sinnes
that
kindle
this
wrath
;
they
be
the
fuell
that
kindle
and
feed
this
fire
.
The
King
of
Nineueh
saw
this
to
be
a
speciall
prouision
for
safety
from
threatned
wrath
.
Ionah
threatens
speedy
wrath
:
he
proclayms
a
fast
,
he
enioines
strickt
abstinence
from
food
and
apparell
.
Would
that
serue
the
turne
?
No
,
he
will
haue
prayer
also
added
thereto
,
and
not
ordinary
prayer
neither
,
but
crying
prayer
,
nor
any
crying
praier
neither
,
but
let
them
crie
mightily
.
And
would
this
serue
?
No
,
hee
will
haue
more
,
he
will
haue
serious
repentance
and
forsaking
of
sin
,
and
this
not
only
of
some
few
,
but
of
all
,
let
them
turn
euery
one
from
his
euill
way
.
Now
one
would
thinke
nothing
could
be
added
to
all
this
,
and
yet
hee
hath
not
done
;
there
is
one
thing
more
behinde
that
makes
vp
all
.
Besides
their
generall
repentance
,
hee
requires
a
speciall
personall
reformation
of
their
speciall
personall
sinne
,
And
from
the
violence
that
is
in
their
hands
.
So
well
did
he
see
the
vanity
of
all
the
rest
without
this
last
.
2.
There
is
something
to
bee
done
by
some
speciall
persons
.
And
that
is
by
you
that
are
now
met
in
this
great
and
honourable
Councell
of

You

that
are
the

of

Bee

fayre

of
foule

and
of

We

see
all
sad
presages
,
and
prognostications
of
a
flood
.
Now
then
so
many
of
you
as
God
hath
called
to
this
Parliamentary
seruice
,
we
haue
to
tell
you
what
God
and
this
Realme
and
Church
with
the
distressed
parts
of
Christs
Church
abroad
,
looke
for
at
your
hands
.
God
hath
called
you
together
to
bee
the
publique
Arke-wrights
for
the
safety
of
this
Church
and
state
.
The
eyes
of
these
Dominions
,
and
the
weeping
eyes
of
Gods
Churches
beyond
the
Seas
are
vpon
you
as
vpon
so
many
Noahs
.
Lamech
when
his
sonne
was
borne
gaue
him
the
name
of
Noah
,
that
is
,
one
refreshing
with
rest
,
bringing
comfort
and
consolation
;
you
see
his
reason
of
the
Imposition
,
Gen.
5.
29.
He
called
his
name
Noah
,
saying
,
This
same
shall
comfort
vs
concerning
the
worke
and
sorrow
of
our
hands
,
because
of
the
earth
which
the
Lord
hath
cursed
.
Now
this
is
that
we
all
pray
and
hope
for
,
that
this
present
assembly
may
be
an
assembly
of
Noahs
,
that
this
Parliament
may
comfort
vs
concerning
the
feares
and
griefes
of
our
hearts
,
and
because
of
the
land
which
of
late
the
Lord
hath
not
blessed
.
This
is
that
we
all
pray
for
,
we
all
looke
for
.
Now
then
if
you
would
proue
right
Noahs
to
vs
,
such
as
may
bring
vs
consolation
,
then
for
Christs
sake
fall
to
the
making
of
an
Arke
,
and
thereby
make
your selues
Noahs
and
Barnabasses
,
the
blessed
sonnes
of
consolation
to
this
Church
and
State
.
Thinke
when
you
sit
together
in
your
solemne
assembly
that
you
heare
the
State
and
Church
cry
out
vnto
you
,
as
once
Peter
did
to
Christ
when
the
winds
rose
,
and
the
Sea
grow
rough
,
Maister
,
Maister
saue
me
,
I
perish

So
thinke
you
heare
the
people
crying
from
all
the
quarters
of
these
Dominions

Fathers
,
Elders

vs

or

Thinke
as
you

in

that
you

Present
vnto
●our
thoughts
the
sad
and
disconsolate
condition
of
the
Church
beyond

Seas
.
Thinke
you
heare
the
shrikings
of
slaughtred
and
butchered
infants
dragd
from
their
mothers
breasts
to
haue
their
braines
dasht
out
against
the
stones
of
the
streets
.
Thinke
that
you
heare
the
sorrowfull
and
dolefull
lamentations
of
ravisht
matrons
,
and
defloured
virgins
in
the
bitternesse
of
their
spirits
,
wringing
their
hands
and
rending
the
hayre
from
off
their
heads
.
Thinke
that
you
heare
the
Church
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
crying
out
vnto
you
,
An
Arke
,
An
Arke
,
for
Gods
loue
prouide
vs
an
Arke
.
Improue
all
the
wisedome
of
your
hearts
,
and
all
the
power
of
your
places
to
which
God
hath
now
called
you
,
to
saue
vs
from
the
rage
of
the
mercilesse
waters

Gods
watchmen
haue
a
long
time
cried
,
a
Flood
,
a
Flood
,
Gods
people
now
crie
an
Arke
,
an
Arke
.
Now
therefore
in
the
name
of
God
fall
close
to
the
building
of
an
Arke
.
Noah
built
an
Arke
but
for
the
sauing
of
his
house
,
what
is
an
house
to
a
Church
?
to
a
kingdome
?
to
many
Churches
?
to
many
kingdomes
?
Noah
built
an
Arke
for
the
sauing
of
eight
persons
:
what
are
eight
persons
to
millions
and
worldes
of
Christ
an
people
that
are
like
to
perish
,
and
be
ouerwhelmed
by
the
mercilesse
enemies
of
Gods
grace
?
that
make
a
noyse
like
the
noyse
of
the
Seas
,
that
make
a

the

what

an

Doe
what
you
will
,
what
you
can
,
yet
if
this
be
not
done
,
nothing
is
done
.
There
be
three
things
that
conduce
to

1.
The
ioint
endeuours
of
the
Parliament
in
plotting
,
and
the
people
in
praying
.
2.
Warlike
prouisions
and
preparations
.
3.
And
fasting
.
There
is
indeed
much
safety
in
these
,
and
yet
if
Reformation
be
neglected
,
there
〈◊〉
a
vanity
in
all
these
,
and
no
good
will
they
doe
.
See
●…
in

.
1.
People
may
pray
hard
,
and
you
may
worke
hard
,
●et
if
no
reformation
no
safety
.
You
haue
a
good
gale
●f
prayer
at
your
backes
,
there
is
a
great
spirit
of
prai●…
vp
in
the
Land
at
this
time
;
and
I
am
verily
per●…aded
that
neu●…
any
Parliament
in
this
Kingdome
●as
more
hartily
prayed
for
.
Besides
we
doe
with
all
thankfulnesse
acknowledge
the
great
goodnesse
of
God
to
vs
in
you
being
reputed
as
wise
and
iudicious
able
house
as
euer
sat
.
So
that
when
we
consider
the
earnest
prayers
of
the
whole
kingdome
,
and
the
great
wisdome
of
this
Honourable
Senate
;
I
confesse
they
are
as
a
valley
of
Achor
,
a
doore
of
hope

We
haue
great
grounds
of
hope
of
much
good
.
But
yet
neuerthelesse
let
me
be
bold
to
tell
you
,
that
if
there
be
no
reformation
of
angring
prouocations
,
all
will
come
to
nothing
,
and
God
will
blast
our
hopes
.
It
is
much
that
prayer
can
doe
;
it
is
the
locke
and
key
of
heauen
,
and
yet
it
is
little
it
will
doe
without
reformation
.
It
is
much
that
wisedome

The
wisedome

will
do

There
was
a
little
City
and
a
few
men
within
it
,
and
there
came
a
great
King
against
it
and
besieged
it
.
Now
there
was
found
in
it
a
poore
wise
man
,
and
he
by
his
wisdome
deliuered
the
City
.
Therefore
what
great
things
may
a
whole
Parliament
house
of
wise
men
doe
?
And
yet
neyther
our
prayers
,
nor
your
endeuours
and
wisedomes
will
deliuer
the
land
vnlesse
some
course
bee
taken
for
reformation
.
It
will
bee
no
better
in
this
case
with
vs
,
then
it
was
with
the
mariners

There
was
a
mighty

in

that
the

to
be
broken

The
mariners
vse

safety
,
they
crie
to

they
lighten
the
shi●…
and
yet
all
will
not
doe
,
yea
after
they
knew
the
cau●…
of
the
tempest
,
v.

the
men
rowed
hard
to
bring
t●…
ship
to
land
,
but
they
could
not
,
for
the
sea
wrought

So
then
neither
cryin●
to
their
gods
,
nor
casting
foorth
the
wares
,
nor
rowing
,
nor
tugging
at
their
oares

will
bring
the
ship
t●
land
out
of
the
danger
of
the
tempest
,
till
Ionas

And
so
soone
as
that
was
done
▪
see
what
followed
,
v.

They
tooke
vp
Ionah
,
and
ca●…
him
foorth
into
the
sea
,
and
the
sea
ceased
from
her
raging
.
It
is
so
heere
;
let
all
the
people
in
the
Land
tug
and
row
with
all
their
might
in
prayer
,
and
doe
you
row
with
all
the
strength
of
your
wisedome
in
your
Parliamentary
endeuours
,
yet
till
our
Ionasses
and
Iudasses
the
prouoking
sinnes
of
the
Land
that
cause
the
storme
,
and
endanger
the
ship
be
cast
ouer
boord
,
till
they
bee
reformed
,
there
is
no
hope
of
bringing
the
ship
safe
to
land
.
And
heere
by
the
way
let
mee
aduise
euery
Parliament
man
that
intends
to
further
the
worke
of
reformation
,
and
in
it
to
prouide
for
the
Lands
safety
,
to
begin
first
with
the
reformation
of
his
owne
person
.
The
worke
of
reformation
must
not
bee
vndertaken
with
foule
hands
.
God
will
haue
no
honour
from
guiltie
hands
.
God
sends
Moses
to
doe
a
great
seruice
for
his
Church
,
hee
goes
about
it
with
a
guiltie
hand
,
with
the
neglect
of
his
childes
circumcision
,
therfore
God
would
haue
killed
him
by
the
way
.
He
must
first
reforme
his
owne
sinne
before
hee
must
meddle
with
Israels
deliuerance
.
And
when
God
raysed
Gideon
for
the
succour
of
the
afflicted
state
of
Israel
,
before
hee
must
meddle
with
that
worke
,
God
sets
him
another
taske
,
Iudg.
6.
25.
he
must
first
downe
with
Baal
.
That
which
the
Emperor
Sigismund
once
spake
at
the
councell
of
Constance
is
a
good
rule
here
,
one
said
in
the
councell
,
Oportet
reformationem
incipere
à
Minoritis
,
meaning
the
Minorite
Friers
,
To
which
the
Emperor
answered
,
Imo
vero
à
Maioritis
,
meaning
the
Pope
,
Cardinals
&c.
So
I
say
if
you
will
goe
with
a
right
foot
to
the
worke
of
Reformation
,
begin
it
A
Maioritis
,
that
is
,
from
your selues
,
you
are
are
of
the
Maiorites
of
the
kingdome
,
begin
with
your selues
,
your
eyes
will
be
the
clearer
,
and
your
hands
the
cleaner
for
the
worke
.
2.
Warlike
prouisions
and
preparations
will
not
do
it
without
reformation
.
There
be
no
such
traytors
to
the
strength
of
a
land
,
no
such
vnderminers
and
weakeners
thereof
as
are
vnreformed
prouocations
.
It
is
but
a
folly
to
trust
to
our
strength
so
long
as
no
reformation
.
Thinke
vpon
that
Ezek.
33.
26.
Ye
stand
vpon
your
sword

As
if
he
should
say
,
It
is
but
a
folly
for
you
so
to
doe
,
your
sword
shall
doe
you
little
seruice
.
Why
so
?
Ye
worke
Abomination
,
and
yee
defile
euery
one
his
neighbours
wife
,
and
shall
you
possesse
the
Land
?
Shall
your
swords
keepe
you
in
,
whilst
your
sinnes
cast
you
out
of
possession
?
Reformation
is
it
must
strengthen
our
Arme
,
and
sharpen
our
sword
against
our
enemies
.
3.
And
what
can
doe
more
then
fasting
?
and
yet
little
seruice
is
it
,
it
will
doe
without
Reformation
;
Ier.
14.
10.
12.
When
they
fast
I
will
not
heare
their
cry
.
What
may
the
reason
be
?
There
was
fasting
without
reformation
v.
10.
So
Iosh.
7.
deepe
and
harty
was
Ioshuaes
abasement
,
but
yet
somewhat
else
was
to
bee
done
.
Israel
hath
sinned
,
v.
11.
and
they
must
away
with
the
accursed
thing
.
There
was
a
Babilonish
garment
in
the
camp
.
What
if
there
had
beene
a
Babilonish
God
?
what
if
a
Babilonish
Idoll
?
what
if
a
Babilonish
Priest
?
what
if
swarmes
and
crowdes
of
Babilonish
Priests
?
It
is
not
fasting
that
will
make
a
waterlight
Arke
vnlesse
the
execrable
thing
be
remooued
.
Reformation
must
doe
it
.
The
way
to
ease
our
soules
of
all
our
grieuances
and
feares
is
to
grieue
the
soule
of
God
.
Doe
this
and
then
there
is
hope
of
safetie
.
Iudg.
10.
16.
And
they
put
away
the
strange
Gods
from
amongst
them
,
and
serued
the
Lord
:
there
was
reformation
.
And
see
what
followes
.
And
his
soule
was
grieued
for
the
misery
of
Israel
.
And
then
God
rayses
Iephthah
for
their
deliuerance
.
And
this
is
the
first
thing
to
be
done
.
2.
God
we
see
is
going
and
departing

reduce

and
to
set
him
in
his
primitiue

two

power
and
the
purity
of
religion
.
If
we
haue
sinne
amongst
vs
,
he
is
the
one
Arke
in
the
world
against
a
flood

When

shall
come

Therefore
as
you
would
prouide
for
the
safety
of
the
Land
,
so
prouide
for
Gods
returne
and
residence
amongst
vs

God
will
goe
out
;
these
will
soone
driue
him
out
to
mount

take
some
course
therefore
to
suppresse
the

of

Let

if

prosper
vnder
these

Keepe
our

and
our
old

vnder
which
the

hath
enioyed
so
long
and
happy
peace

and
hath
had
so
wonderfull
victories
and

Whatsoeuer
is
commanded
by
the
God
of
heauen
,
let
it
bee
diligently
done
for
the
house
of
the
God
of
heauen
;
for
why
should
there
bee
wrath
against
the
Realme
of
the
King
,
and
his
sonnes
?
The
way
to
preuent
a
flood
is
to
preuent
wrath
,
the
way
to
preuent
wrath
and
keepe
it
from
a
Realme
is
to
doe
for
the
house
of
the
God
of
heauen
whatsoeuer
is
commanded
.
There
bee
three
things
commanded
to
be
done
for
the
house
of
the
God
of
heauen
.
1.
His
house
lies
waste
beyond
the
seas
,
miserably
ruined
.
The
God
of
heauen
commands
that
his
house
be
repayred
.
And
God
seemes
to
say
now
to
you
,
as
Iehoash
to
the
Priests
,
2.
King
.
12.
7.
Why
repaire
ye●
not
the
breaches
of
the
house
?
Whilest
Gods
house
lay
waste
,
there
was
wrath
vpon
the
Land
.
Hag.

But
when
once
the
house
built
and
repayred
,
then
Hag.
2.
19.
From
this
day
will
I
blesse
you
.
2.
He
commandes
his
house
to
be
purged
,
2.
Chron.
29.
5.
Sanctifie
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
and
carry
forth
the
filthinesse
out
of
the
holy
place
.
For
this
filthinesse
was
the
wrath
of
God
vpon
Iudah
and
Ierusalem
,
v.
8.
3.
He
commands
an
able
preaching
Ministery
in
his
house
.
In
this
respect
many
houses
of
God
in
this
land
lay
waste
.
Many
congregations
want
Preachers
,
many
Ministers
want
maintenance
,
and
many
couetous
Impropriatours
want
conscience
.
They
haue
learned
that
language
,
Psa.
83.
12.
Let
vs
take
to
our selues
the
houses
of
God
in
possession
.
The
God
of
heauen
commands
a
preaching
Ministery
in
his
house
,
that
cannot
be
had
without
maintenance
.
Denie
the
Leuites
their
portions
,
and
the
house
of
God
will
be
forsaken
,
Nehem.
13.
10.
11.
And
yee
shall
haue
those
in
their
fields
who
should
bee
in
the
Temple
.
Doe
this
one
thing
which
the
God
of
heauen
commands
for
his
house
;
and
you
shall
notably
prouide
for
the
safety
of
the
Land
.
Ministers
of
the
word
are
the
horsemen
and
chariots
of
Israel
:
we
feare
enemies
,
Horsemen
and
chariots
will
be
good
defence
,
prouide

of
horsemen
and

How
confident
was
Abijah
against
Ieroboam
,
2.
Chron.
13.
12.
that
Ieroboam
should
not
prosper
in
fighting
against
him
?
What
was
his
ground
?
With
vs
are
the
Priests
of
the
Lord
with
sounding
trumpets
to
crie
alarme
against
you
.
But
what
safety
was
therein
?
Exceeding
much
,
for
Numb.
10.
9.
And
if
ye
goe
to
warre
in
your
land
against
the
enemie
,
then
shall
ye
blow
an
alarme
with
the
trumpets
,
and
yee
shal
be
remembred
before
the
Lord
your
God
,
And
yee
shal
be
saued
from
your
enemies
.
The
trumpets
of
the
Priests
were
as
good
as
all
the
swords
in
Israel
.
Would
ye
saue
vs
from
our
enemies
then
?
Prouide
that
the
siluer
trumpets
may
be
blowne
and
may
sound
in
euery
Parish
of
the
Kingdome
.
No
such
Arkes
to
saue
from
approaching
dangers
,
as
Pulpits
well
furnisht
.
How
happy
was
the
poore
figge

,
Luc.

that
had
such
a
dresser
of
the
vineyard
that
could
dig
aswel
as
beg
.
His
mattocke
kept
off
the
axe
.
We
are
now
in
feares
of
enemies
,
and
dangers
;
would
we
not
be
glad
to
haue
our
feares
taken
off
,
and
to
haue
them
be
vpon
our
enemies
,
that
they
might
make
no
war
against
vs
?
Heere
is
the
way
to
doe
it
,
to
prouide
preaching
Ministers
in
all
places
of
the
kingdome
.
Consider
seriously
that
passage
of
Scripture
,
2.
Chron.
17.
7.
8.
9.
Iehoshaphat
sets
vp
a
teaching
ministery
,
not
only
heere
and
there
,
but
in
all
the
cities
of
Iudah
.
And
what
was
the
sequele
?
That
v.
10.
And
the
feare
of
the
Lord
fell
vpon
all
the
kingdomes
of
the
lands
that
were
round
about
Iudah
,
so
that
they
made
no
warre
against
Iehoshaphat
.
It
is
worth
our
noting
,
that
at
the
second
verse
of
the
Chapter
it
is
sayd
that
Iehoshaphat
placed
forces
in
all
the
fenced
cities
of
Iudah
,
and
set
garrisons
in
the
land
of
Iudah
.
And
yet
thereupon
it
is
not
said
that
the
feare
of
the
Lord
fell
vpon
the
neighbouring
kingdomes
;
but
when
hee
had
established
a
teaching
Ministry
,
then
his
enemies
had
a
feare
,
and
made
no
warre
.
Forces
and
garrisons
will
not
make
a
kingdome
so
dreadfull
to
an
enemy
as
an
able
and
godly
preaching
Ministry
will
doe
.
Haue
a
care
of
this
,
and
in
doing
this
you
shall
do
that
which
shall
tend
exceedingly
to
our
safety
and
preseruation
.
4.
That
is
another
good
piece
of
timber
for
an
Arke
,

Whosoeuer
will
not
do
the
law
of
thy
God
,
and
the
law
of
the
King
,
let
iudgement
be
executed
speedily
vpon
him
,
whether
it
be
vnto
death
,
or
to
banishment
,
or
to
confiscation
of
goods
,
or
to
imprisonment
.
There
is
a
generation
that
will
neither
doe
the
law
of
God
,
nor
of
the
King
;
who
both
by
the
law
of
God
,
and
the
King
,
are
men
of
death
.
Oh
that
life
might
be
put
into
those
lawes
,
and
iudgement
might
be
speedily
executed
,
whether
vnto
death
&c.
The
Romish
Locusts
swarme
euery
where
in
the
land
,
and
they
goe
about
to
draw
away
men
from
obedience
both
to
God
and
the
King
.
And
these
they
be
whom
we
may
thanke
for
the
increase
of
Popery
,
what
wonder
is
it
that
so
many
are
drawne
into
the
whores
bed
,
when
there
be
so
many
Panders
in
euery
corner
entising
men
to
commit
fornication
with
the
Romish
strumpet
.

Cleare
the

of
these
frogs
that
come
out
of
the

Prophet

Neuer
thinke
to
haue
your
Arke
water-light
,
nor
to
prouide
for
our
common
safety
till
iudgement
be
executed
vpon
them
.
It
is
no
cruelty
to
call
for
Iustice
,
nor
persecution
to
doe
Iustice
vpon
such
,
vpon
whom
Iustice
being
done
,
you
may
procure
mercy
from
God
vpon
a
whole
Church
and
Nation
.
It
is
worth
your
notice
that
after
the
hanging
of
the
sonnes
of
Saul
,
2.
Sam.
21.
14.
it
is
said
,
After
that
God
was
entreated
for
the
land
.
The
land
for
three
yeeres
had
beene
vnder
a
iudgement
and
there
was
(
doubtlesse
)
entreating
of
God
for
the
land
;
but
when
they
were
hanged
,
then
God
was
entreated
for
the
land
,
and
then
it
went
well
with
the
land
.
And
as
God
will
in
some
cases
haue
mercy
and
not
sacrifice
;
so
in
some
he
will
haue
iustice
,
and
not
sacrifice
.
This
day
is
a
day
of
sacrifice
in
prayer
and
humiliation
for
the
safety
of
the
land
.
Honoured
in
the
Lord
,
God
will
haue
iustice
and
not
sacrifice
,
Prou.
21.
3.
To
doe
iustice
and
iudgement
is
more
acceptable
to
the
Lord
than
sacrifice
.
Nay
the
doing
of
iustice
is
a
sacrifice
,
with
the
sacrifices
of
your
prayers
and
humiliations
let
God
haue
the
sacrifices
of
iustice
,
for
with
such
sacrifices
God
is
well
pleased
,
and
for
such
sacrifices
will
be
well
pleased
with
the
land
.
It
was
zeale
yet
in
the
Egyptians
.
Exod.

Loe
shall
we
sacrifice
the
abomination
of
the
Egyptians
before
their
eyes
,
and
will
they
not
stone
vs
?
How
foule
a
shame
for
Israelites
then
,
that
they
can
suffer
the
abominable
sacrifices
of
Egyptians
,
you
are
afraid
that
God
may
let
in
oppressing
enemies
vpon
vs
,
you
sue
this
day
for
mercy
to
God
in
that
thing
;
execute
iustice
and
iudgement
,
and
then
may
yee
pray
as
Dauid
did
,
Psal.
119.
121.
I
haue
done
iudgement
and
iustice
,
leaue
me
not
to
mine
oppressors
.
And
so
I
haue
done
with
the
materials
of
your
Arke
,
the
particulars
whereby
our
safety
may
be
procured
.
2.
The
manner
followes
how
yee
should
build
this
Arke
.
That
stands
in
these
things
,
Goe
to
worke
.
1.
With
a
spirit
of
concord
and
vnitie
.
The
Churches
haue
lost
too
much
already
by
disunion
.
My
praier
and
hearty
desire
is
that
it
may
be
with
both
the
houses
of
this
present
Assembly
,
as
God
promises
to
doe
with
the
two
houses
of
Israel
and
Iudah
,
Ezek.
37.
19.
that
the
Lord
would
make
them
one
in
his
hand
.
And
wee
shall
see
elsewhere
the
mischiefe
of
it
when
these
two
,
were
two
,
Zech.
11.
7.
There
were
two
staues
,
of
Beauty
and
of
Binders
.
That
staffe
of
Binders
was
none
other
but
the
bond
of
vnity
,
by
which
the
two
houses
of
Iudah
and
Israel
were
knit
together
.
God
breakes
the
staffe
of
Binders
,
v.
14.
and
the
brotherhood
breakes
,
So
Iunius
expounds
it
.
and
then
v.
15.
16.
followes
the
threatning
of
sending
into
the
land
forreine
and
Romane
Gouernours
that
should
eat
the
flesh
of
the
fat
,
and
teare
their
clawes
in
pieces
.
See

making

for
the
ruine
of

.
Be
it
therefore
the
vtmost
of
your
cares
and
wisdomes
to
keepe
the
staffe
of
Binders
vnbroken
.
Knit
together
in
and
for
God
to
doe
him
and
his
Church
all
possible
seruice
.
2.
Set
vpon
the
worke
with
speede
.
As
Christ
spake
to
Iudas
in
a
case
of
taking
away
life
,
so
I
say
to
you
in
the
case
of
sauing
the
life
of
the
state
.
That
which
ye
doe
,
doe
quickly
.
It
is
high
time
that
the
Arke
were
already
made
.
It
will
be
too
late
to
build
Arkes
when
the
waters
are
broke
in
:
you
had
need
doe
in
this
case
as
Aaron
did
in
that
Numb.
16.
46.
Goe
quickly
,
for
wrath
is
gone
out
.
3.
Goe
to
worke
thorowly
,
and
substantially
;
make
sure
worke
:
God
bid
Noah
pitch
his
Arke
within
,
and
without
.
Hee
bestowed
a
great
deale
of
time
in
building
it
,
he
made
an
huge
vessell
,
but
if
he
had
not
pitcht
it
well
within
,
and
without
hee
had
lost
all
his
cost
and
labour
;
both
his
Arke
and
himselfe
had
been
cast
away
.
Therefore
God
appoints
him
Copher
as
well
as
Gopher
;
pitch
,
as
well
as
Pine
or
Cedar
trees
.
4.
Goe
to
worke
couragiously
.
Betray
not
the
State
and
Church
with
any
carnall
and
base
feares
.
If
I
be
bereaued
of
my
children
I
am
bereaued
was
Iaa●…bs
conclusion
.
If
I
perish
,
I
perish
,
was
Esthers
reso●…tion
.
Let
the
same
be
yours
also
.
It
is
better
to
perish
for
a
Kingdome
,
than
with
a
Kingdome
.
If
the
Kingdome
perish
who
can
hope
to
escape
?
If
the
publike
wracke
,
who
can
hope
to
saue
his
priuate
●…ake
?
It
is
a
folly
when
the
whole
Ship
is
in
danger
so
to
take
care
for
ones
priuate
cabin
,
as
not
to
put
ones
selfe
in
danger
to
saue
the
Ship
.
If
the
Ship
drowne
,
what
becomes
of
the
cabins
then
?
I
say
no
more
but
as
2.
Chron.
19.
11.
Deale
couragiously
,
and
the
Lord
will
be
with
the
good
.
Thus
we
see
the
materialls
wherewith
,
and
the
manner
how
this
sauing
Arke
must
be
built
.
Now
the
Lord
giue
all
you
,
our
Noahs
and
Parliament
Arke-wrights
,
hearts
to
say
as
Nebemiah
spake
of
building
the
wall
of
Ierusalem
.
Nehem.
2.
20.
The
God
of
heauen
hee
will
prosper
vs
,
therefore
wee
his
seruants
will
arise
and
build
.
You
his
seruants
take
notice
of
Gods
fayre
warnings
,
take
notice
of
our
feares
and
dangers
,
take
notice
of
the
hopes
and
expectations
of
the
Church
at
home
and
abroad
,
take
notice
of
the
eyes
of
the
kingdome
,
and
of
all
Christendome
that
are
vpon
you
,
Doe
you
arise
and

,
and
the
God

prosper
you
