Arthingtons
seduction
and
Repentance
.
BE
it
knowne
to
al
Christian
people
,
of
what
condition
or
callinge
soeuer
,
that
I
(
Henry
Arthington
prisoner
)
for
my
dangerous
offence
committed
in
proclaiming
Hacket
to
bee
Christ
Iesus
,
{etc}
.
Haue
longe
desired
and
from
my
heart
requested
,
to
shewe
some
testimonies
of
my
vnfeined
repentance
,
either
by
word
or
writinge
,
but
could
not
be
admitted
till
of
late
,
that
the
libertie
of
the
prisonne
was
granted
vnto
mee
:
Heare
now
therfore
with
patience
my
humble
confession
in
manner
following
.
As
it
cannot
be
denied
,
which
Peter
the
Apostle
,
hath
recorded
that
Satan
the
old
Arch-enis
wie
of
Mankind
seeketh
[a](A21681-e10800-b)
a

cotinually
like
a
roring
Lion
whom
he
may
deuoure
:
So
it
must
needs
be
granted
of
all
,
which
the
Apostle
Paule
noteth
,
That
to
the
end
he
may
the
more
easille
deceiue
,
Satan
transformeth
himselfe

into
an
Angell
of

.
So
did
he
seduce

,

the
woman
in
Paradise
,
so
did
he

Samuel
Saule
the
King
,
in
the
likenesse
of
Samuel
the
Prophet
of
God
,
and
so
did
hee
of
late
most
pitifullie
misvse
Coppinger
and
mee
,
in
the
likenesse
of
the
holiest
manne
liuing
in
the
world
,
closelie
represented
before
our
eies
,
in
the
person
of
that
wicked
Sorcerer
William
Hacket
the
instrument
of
Satan
,
or
rather
himselfe
a
diuell
incarnate
,
raised
vp
to
seeke
the
dishonor
of
Christ
Iesus
,
and
both
our
destructions
so
much
as
he
could
:
As
by
the
true
report
of
his
storie
ensuing
shall
more
manifestlye
appeare
.
In
the
discourse
whereof
,
though
I
muste
of
necessitie
blaze
abroad
mine
owne
infamie
to
all
posterities
,
yet
hadde
I
rather
doo
the
same
to
detect
Satans
practises
,
that
others
might
be
admonished
in
time
to
take
heede
,
then
that
anie
manner
of
personne
should
through
my
silence
(
in
concealing
that
knowledge
which
I
haue
gained
by
my
wofull
experience
)
fall
into
that
pit
of
endlesse
peridition
,
by
Satans
temptations
;
out
of
the
which
(
by
Gods
Almightie
prouidence
)
I
am
escaped
.
It
is
not
vnknowne
throughout
all
England
,
there
were
two
false
Prophets
set
on
worke
in
London
,
to
proclaime
that
Christ
Iesus
was
come
to
iudge
the
world
with
his
fan
in
his
handes
,
Hacket
that
curssed
condemned
wretche
,
was
that
supposed
Christ
Iesus
the
Iudge
,
Edmunde
Coppinger
the
one
prophet
,
and
I
the
other
,
The
one
of
mercie
,
the
other
of
iudgements
falslie
so
tearmed
:
Three
vnlikelie
instruments
to
effect
so
great
matters
as
were
pretended
,
viz
:
either
to
bring
all
men
vnto
repentance
,
or
else
to
iudge
and
condemne
the
obstinate
.
Good
matters
pretended
.
How
my
brother
false
prophet
and
I
,
behaued
our selues
in
Cheapside
,
16.
Iuli
,
1591
{etc}
.
running
bothe
into
one
Cart
,
to
proclaime
our
curssed
newe
Iudge
,
{etc}
:
Because
the
maner
therof
was
commonlie
known
,
and
that
I
suppose
the
Chronicler
of
this
land
,
hath
long
before
this
time
discoursed
more
at
large
vpon
our
whole
proceedings
,
I
meane
not
to
trouble
thee
gentle
Reader
with
new
repetitions
,
but
onely
to
dilate
of
the
greatnesse
of
our
sins
,
with
the
manner
how
my selfe
was
drawne
into
this
action
,
wherein
I
hope
to
supplie
more
fullie
,
whatsoeuer
the
Chronicler
hath
lefte
vntouched
,
for
wante
of
true
notice
.
First
therefore
,
I
will
indeuour
to
the
vttermoste
of
my
skill
,
co
describe
the
greatnesse
of
Hackets
rebellion
against
the
Lord
Iesus
.
Secondly
,
what
meanes
he
vsed
to
bewitch
my
poor
selfe
to
be
one
of
those
false
prophets
.
Thirdlie
,
to
consider
howe
deepelie
,
I
have
trespassed
in
proclaiming
the
villaine
,
to
bee
Christ
Iesus
the
Iudge
,
and
other
wise
also
.
Fourthlie
,
to
obserue
notwithstanding
,
the
exceeding
greatnesse
of
Gods
Almightie
prouidence
,
in
my
preseruation
.
Fiftlie
,
To
set
downe
thesubstance
of
that
Christian
to
passion
,
which
I
haue
found
at
the
hands
of
hir
excellent
Maiesty
,
&
most
honorable
Councell
.
Sixtly
,
To
moue
all
manner
people
to
bee
thankfull
vnto
God
on
my
behalfe
,
and
further
to
assist
me
with
their
praiers
,
that
my
preseruation
may
tende
to
his
glorie
,
and
the
good
of
his
Church
.
Seuenthlie
,
To
admonish
all
people
(
by
my
wofull
example
to
take
heede
and
beware
of
Satans
temptations
.
To
come
to
the
first
point
,
concerning
Hackets
wilfull
rebellion
against
the
Lord
Iesus
:
I
can
deem
it
no
lesse
(
in
my
poore
iudgement
)
Then
to
be
a
deep
sinne
against
the
holy-ghost
,
The
firste
point
of
Hackets
rebellion
.
which
may
bee
the
more
plainelie
discerned
,
both
by
comparing
it
with
the
sinne
against
the
holy-ghost
(
according
to
the
Scripture
)
And
with
the
like
fact
committed
by
Iudas
,
in
betraieng
Christ
Iesus
the
Lord
of
life
himselfe
.
The
sinne
of
the
Holy
ghost
as
it
is
defined
by
Peter
and
Paule
the
Apostles
of
Christ
;
The
sinne
against
the
Holy-ghost
defined
.
Is
A
wilfull
sinning
against
the
knowne
truth
,
and
a
mans
owne
conscience
,
making
a
mocke
thereof
Which
may
be
the
more
aggrauated
,
Heb
.
6.4.5
,
6
&
10.26.29
By
spitefull
reproching
the
said
knowne
truth
,
in
contempt
of
Christ
Iesus
the
Author
thereof
.

Pet
.

.
Oh
then
how
groslie
and
greeuouslie
maye
it
be
feared
that
Hacket
did
commit
this
great
sinne
against
the
Holy
ghost
,
not
onely
in
Wilfull
proceeding
againste
the
knowne
truth
and
his
owne
conscience
,
but
in
obstinate
rebelling
against
the
very
person
and
office
of
Christ
Iesus
,
(
peculiar
onely
to
the
euerlasting
Sonne
of
God
in
heauen
)
by
causing
and
compelling
vs
poore
soules
(
for
so
wee
were
inforced
by
a
Deuilish
spirit
within
vs
)
amongst
other
things
to
proclaime
him
)
Christ
Iesus
,
the
Iudge
of
the
world
.
Which
purpose
he
had
in
heart
before
,
as
apeareth
by
giuing
vs
in
charge
to
proclaim
him
,
{etc}
.
Hackets
presumption
,
a
deepe
sinne
against
the
Holy
ghost
prooued
.
Whose
sinne
is
heereby
the
more
inlarged
,
by
the
hardnesse
of
his
heart
,
that
coulde
not
in
mans
iudgement
repent
at
his
latter
end
,
nor
so
much
as
vtter
one
Word
to
that
ende
:
for
if
such
as
refuse
the
knowledge
of
God
,
and
hare
to
be
guided
by
his
holy
counsels
,
shal
not
find
mercy
at
their
latter
ends

(
though
they
beg
hard
for
the
same
with
teares
)
as
the
Scripture
dooth
record
:
O
then
,
how
feareful
is
his
case
,
That
at
his
last
end
was
so
farre
off
from
asking
pardon
(
being
moued
therevnto
vpon
the
ladder
)
that
euan
then
he
fell
to
banning
and
cursing
,
vttering
these
or
such
like
speaches
.
Oh
fearfull
example
.
Thes
words
only
by
report
,
for
I
was
then
close
prisoner
.
If
ther
be
a
God
in
Heauen
,
hee
will
either
ridde
mee
out
of
these
villaines
handes
,
or
else
I
will
pull
him
out
of
his
throne
,
&
within
one
moneth
destroy
this
Cittie
with
fire
and
Brimstone
.
O
moste
abhominable
and
blasphemous
wretch
,
who
durst
haue
once
vttered
such
horrible
speeches
,
but
he
that
had
soulde
his
soule
to
Satan
.
Hacket
worse
then
Iudas
in
three
respects
.
Behold
yet
more
testimonie
of
the
greatnesse
of
his
sinne
(
I
feare
)
against
the
Holy
ghost
,
which
exceeded
Iudas
in
three
respects
.
First
,
Hacket
rebelliouslie
tooke
vppon
him
,
the
titles
,
person
,
and
office
of
Christ
Iesus
,
but
Iudas
durst
neuer
presume
so
high
.
Secondly
,
Hacket
exalted
himselfe
aboue
the
Lord
lesus
,
for
wheras
Christ
Iesus
,
had
onlie
but
one
Prophet
to
go
before
his
face
,
(
Iohn
[e](A21681-e11490-b)
e
Luk
.
1.76
.
Baptist
by
name
)
Hacket
had
two
,
but
Iudas
none
at
all
.
Thirdlie
,
Hacket
did
neither
repent
,
nor
yet
confesse
his
sinnes
before
his
death
,
but
Iudas
did
both
[f](A21681-e11560-b)
f
Mat
.
27.34
.
after
a
sort
.
Wherefore
it
appeareth
most
euidentlie
,
that
in
these
respects
before
mentioned
,
Hacket
was
a
greater
sinner
then
Iudas
,
yea
the
greatest
sinner
that
euer
was
heard
of
since
the
worlde
begun
,
who
no
doubt
if
he
hadde
beene
in
Iudas
roome
,
(
and
his
power
answereable
to
his
desire
)
woulde
himselfe
haue
killed
the
Lord
of
glorie
,
as
might
appeare
by
his
afore
noted
most
horrible
speeches
vpon
the
ladder
.
Wherfore
as
his
end
was
the
most
fearefull
and
desperate
that
euer
was
red
of
,
so
(
if
indeed
he
repented
not
)
it
may
greatlie
bee
feared
his
torments
are
most
greeuous
,
of
any
that
euer
were
condemned
,
(
euen
by
the
most
powerfull
and
vpright
doome
,
of
that
eternall
and
Almightie
Iudge
,
whose
office
he
sought
to
vsurpe
in
this
world
.
)
And
heere
an
end
of
him
,
though
his
paines
happilie
bee
endlesse
,
for
his
pride
and
presumption
against
the
Lord
Iesus
,
after
the
example
of
his
graund-captaine
Lucifer
,
whoe
was
banished
heauen
,
and
made
prince

of

for
the
verie
like
offense
.
Touching
Coppingers
death
and
temptations
,
(
by
report
of
himselfe
)
hee
had
chambered
in
bed
with
Hacket
,
wherby
I
gather
that
(
by
gods
permission
)
the
Sorcerer
did
more
deepelie
inchant
him
,
to
be
a
meanes
to
take
away
his
life
.
As
for
his
death
maister
Yoong
told
me
,
that
before
his
end
he
detested
Hacket
and
asked
pardon
of
the
almightie
,
whoe
no
doubt
receiued
him
to
mercie
,
for
so
hath
he
promised
,
that
at
what
time
soeuer
a
sinner
repenteth
from
the
bottome
of
his
heart
,
he
will
put

.
and
33.11
.
his
wickednesse
out
of
his
remembrance
.
And
so
an
ende
of
his
story
also
,
not
minding
to
speake
any
further
of
either
,
then
as
shall
necessarilie
fall
out
,
within
the
compasse
of
mine
own
Pageant
.
To
come
to
speake
of
mine
owne
storie
,
how
I
was
drawn
to
become
a
Stager
in
this
fearfull
Tragedie
:
it
is
holden
of
diuers
both
godlie
&
learned
,
Satan
hath
two
waies
to
deceiue
by
feare
and
trust
.
that
albeit
Satan
haue
many
waiees
to
abuse
all
people
:
yet
hath
he
two
chiefe
and
esspeciall
means
to
seduce
the
simple
;
the
one
,
if
men
feare
him
,
the
other
if
they
trust
him
.
1.
Touching
the
former
(
albeit
I
haue
beene
a
verie
grieuous
sinner
manifold
waies
)
yet
since
I
came
to
the
knoweledge
of
the
truthe
,
That
Christ
Iesus
only
hath
conquered
Satan
,
death
,
hell
and
damnation
;

and
that
by
faith

him
,
hee
hath
made
vs
also

,
I
did
neuer
feare
the
mallice
of
vile
Satan
,
no
not
euen
then
when
I
was
his
vassall
.
In
the
latter
point
therefore
was
I
ouertaken
,
viz.
in
crediting
Hacket
the
instrumente
of
Satan
to
be
so
honest
a
man
,
whervnto
I
was
drawne
by
six
likely
reasons
.
2.
I
was
drawn
by
six
resons
to
beleeue
Hacket
.
First
,
by
the
good
reporte
that
was
giuen
of
him
.
Secondlie
,
By
ioyning
with
him
in
his
exercises
.
Thirdlie
,
In
that
he
pretended
the
detection
of
traitors
.
Fourthlie
,
By
giuing
credit
to
his
blasphemous
historie
.
Fiftlie
,
In
feeling
my selfe
possest
with
a
burning
heat
within
.
Sixtlie
,
By
maister
Coppingers
report
of
his
vision
from
heauen
,
that
wee
were
both
Prophets
,
and
Hacket
greater
.
And
firste
,
concerning
the
report
that
was
made
of
Hacket
to
be
so
honest
,
The
first
assalt
,
by
the
good
report
of
Hacket
.
(
whoe
I
nowe
know
,
was
a
more
wicked
wretch
,
then
either
Simon
or
[k](A21681-e11890-b)
k
Acts.

Elimas
those
notable
forcerers
,
mentioned
in
the
Acts.
)
About
Easter
terme
laste
,
the
said
maister
Coppinger
sent
for
mee
to
come
vnto
him
at
a
friends
house
in
London
,
where
(
by
his
meanes
)
I
must
needes
be
acquainted
with
this
goodly
guest
,
which
was
the
first
time
that
euer
I
knew
him
,
where
he
kept
the
Table
talke
against
Papists
and
Seminaries
,
how
dangerous
they
were
to
the
Queene
and
State
:
vpon
which
occasion
one
personne
in
companye
saide
he
was
welcome
,
bicause
the
party
tooke
him
to
be
an
honest
man
,
If
I
be
not
honester
then
you
take
me
(
quoth
Hacket
)
The
Lord
confound
me
.
Se
heer
the
practise
of
this
Sorcerer
,
to
curse
himself
that
we
mighte
credit
him
.
Which
speech
I
noted
,
and
deemed
most
dangerous
,
but
hauing
no
time
then
to
admonish
him
thereof
,
soone
after
dinner
I
departed
,
and
did
see
my
companion
no
more
till
Trinitie
Tearme
following
,
being
that
vacation
time
in
Yorkeshire
,
about
mine
owne
particular
occasions
,
(
as
hundreths
can
witnesse
if
need
required
)
during
the
which
space
(
as
I
was
informed
afterwards
)
master
Coppinger
and
Hacket
had
begun
their
Tragedie
,
and
did
write
certaine
letters
to
great
estates
,
to
detect
pretended
Traitors
against
hir
Maiestie
:
The
copies
whereof
were
afterwards
found
in
Hackets
Chamber
,
the
same
day
we
rose
and
were
carried
I
thinke
to
hir
Maiesties
Councell
.
After
my
businesse
doone
in
the
Countrey
,
I
returned
againe
to
London
,
about
the
middest
of
Trinitie
Tearme
:
to
dispatch
certaine
causes
of
mine
owne
and
my
friendes
,
and
for
obtayning
the
great
Seale
of
England
for
the
foundation
of
a
Free
Schoole
at
Wakefield
,
according
to
hir
Maiesties
grant
.
So
soone
as
I
was
knowne
to
bee
in
the
Cittie
,
maister
Coppinger
comes
vnto
my
Chamber
,
and
begins
to
tell
me
(
after
salutations
)
that
he
was
in
my
absence
become
well
acquainted
with
the
holiest
man
that
euer
was
borne
,
(
Christ
Iesus
excepted
)
hee
durst
boldly
auouch
it
before
whome
soeuer
.
Vnto
whose
speeches
(
notwithstandinge
his
confident
protestations
)
I
gaue
small
regard
at
the
first
,
(
because
I
had
〈◇〉
)
〈◇〉
him
not
long
before
,
to
be
farre
ouer
reached
with
his
owne
affections
in
matters
of
loue
,
building
to
much
vpon
vncertainties
,
and
in
some
other
pointes
,
(
needlesse
heer
to
be
stood
vpon
)
but
continued
willing
to
ioyne
with
him
still
in
our
old
exercise
,
vizd
:
to
keepe
a
priuate
fast
vpon
euery
Lords
day
,
for
some
speciall
causes
best
known
to
our selues
,
choosing
that
day
commonly
,
the
better
to
be
furthered
by
publike
exercises
;
keepping
M.
Gardiners
,
and
M.
Coopers
Lectures
for
the
most
part
,
to
visit
mistresse
Hon●bod
in
the
meane
space
,
who
hath
beene
longe
and
greeuouslie
afflicted
.
Vpon
the
Lordes
day
(
about
one
fortnight
before
our
arising
)
when
the
afternoone
exercise
was
finished
,
maister
Coppinger
would
needs
draw
me
to
Hackets
chamber
,
whither
immediatlie
he
resorted
(
as
himselfe
saide
)
from
M.
Edgertons
Lecture
:
and
foorthwith
begun
to
pray
,
vsing
as
good
words
as
any
other
Christian
yet
denouncing
the
Former
cursse
against
himselfe
,
Vizd
.
the
lorde
confound
him
as
he
did
indeed
,
if
he
sought
not
the
honour
of
Iesus
Christ
simplie
.
The
varlet
(
as
I
since
coniecture
)
meaning
himselfe
,
and
I
in
charitie
iudging
the
best
,
that
he
meant
indeed
the
Lord
Iesus
in
heauen
.
After
praiers
ended
with
some
renuing
of
our
first
acquaintance
at
Easter
Tearme
before
,
we
parted
companie
for
that
time
,
beeing
then
returned
vnto
mine
owne
chamber
,
and
meditating
about
the
curssing
of
himselfe
if
he
sought
not
singlie
the
honour
of
Christ
Iesus
:
I
did
resolue
,
that
he
must
either
be
a
wicked
man
wilfullie
to
condemne
himselfe
,
if
his
hearte
were
not
vpright
,
or
else
he
was
a
verie
rare
man
,
and
tendered
the
honour
of
Christ
Iesus
highlie
:
and
(
as
in
Charitie
I
could
not
but
hope
the
best
)
So
maister
Coppingers
wordes
beganne
to
settle
with
me
,
The
first
assault
by
M.
Coppingers
report
.
that
he
was
a
rare
man
indeed
.
Thus
did
I
make
the
first
way
for
the
wretched
Caytise
to
assault
me
,
who
knowing
my
good
opinion
of
him
by
maister
Coppinger
,
the
next
time
that
he
had
intercourse
between
vs
,
Hacket
ceased
not
to
moue
him
to
drawe
mee
the
second
time
into
his
companie
:
and
that
was
by
making
me
acquainted
with
,
their
proceedinges
in
my
absence
;
for
about
two
or
three
daies
after
,
comes
maister
;
Coppinger
vnto
my
chamber
,
and
brings
with
him
a
packet
of
writings
,
which
I
must
needes
be
made
priuie
vnto
,
but
I
refused
at
the
first
,
and
said
I
would
not
enter
into
their
secrets
,
yet
after
that
maister
Coppinger
told
me
,
they
were
only
copies
of
certaine
letters
which
they
two
had
written
and
sent
alreadye
to
some
of
great
account
about
the
Court
,
for
the
detection
of
supposed
Traitours
,
vnto
the
Queene
and
State
:
Then
I
thought
there
could
be
no
danger
at
all
in
pervsing
of
them
:
wherin
when
I
see
them
so
bolde
,
as
to
name
the
personnes
suspected
,
and
to
auouche
theyr
accusasions
vpon
the
hazzard
&
perrill
of
their
owne
liues
,
I
deemed
neither
of
them
so
mad
,
or
deuoide
of
grace
,
or
carelesse
of
their
owne
estate
,
(
maister
Coppinger
being
sworne
to
her
Maiesties
seruice
)
so
hotly
to
prosecute
so
dangerous
a
sute
,
which
must
either
turne
to
their
owne
,
or
their
betters
destruction
:
but
that
they
could
iustifie
what
they
had
written
:
and
so
gaue
the
rather
credit
vnto
them
,
The
second
assault
by
writings
.
which
was
the
second
meanes
for
Satan
to
assault
me
.
After
this
time
I
was
the
more
willing
to
frequent
Hackets
companie
(
as
a
manne
whome
I
thought
true
hearted
to
hir
Maiestie
)
who
then
discoursed
vnto
me
at
large
,
what
troubles
and
afflictions
he
had
indured
at
the
handes
of
Papists
for
the
Gospels
sake
:
all
to
make
mee
beleeue
he
was
single
minded
that
way
,
All
lies
.
&
sought
the
honour
of
Iesus
,
no
man
more
:
which
I
was
the
easlier
perswaded
to
grant
,
by
his
holye
exercises
and
conuersation
(
which
were
all
Saint
like
,
See
Satans
subtletie
to
seduce
the
simple
minded
:
which
was
my
3.
assault
.
whilst
I
was
with
him
)
complaining
much
of
the
iniquitie
of
the
time
:
that
Religion
was
prophaned
of
all
sortes
of
people
,
by
a
generall
infection
of
sinne
in
all
places
,
which
could
not
but
procure
some
plague
vpon
the
lande
,
without
speedie
repentance
,
wherevnto
I
condiscended
,
and
further
to
credite
him
,
which
was
the
third
way
for
him
to
seduce
me
.
Shortlie
after
,
maister
Coppinger
comes
again
vnto
my
chamber
,
and
brings
other
writinges
penned
by
himselfe
from
Hackets
own
mouth
,
which
was
the
discourse
of
those
supposed
intollerable
torments
,
which
the
villaine
persuaded
him
he
hadde
indured
for
the
triall
of
the
Gospell
to
be
the
true
religion
,
against
Poperie
and
all
other
sectes
and
Heresies
:
And
for
the
preseruation
of
our
Deere
Soueraigne
,
Beholde
the
fourth
waie
how
Satan
did
assault
mee
,
to
beleeue
Hackets
torments
,
in
manner
following
.
and
al
other
Princes
professing
the
Gospell
;
M.
Coppinger
assuring
me
,
that
for
the
outward
torments
they
would
be
iustified
,
by
an
hundred
good
witnesses
,
if
need
required
:
vizd
,
That
Hacket
should
be
tied
the
first
time
twentie
daies
vpon
a
bed
,
his
armes
and
legs
to
the
foure
corners
,
and
beate
with
a
cudgell
:
The
seconde
time
,
bounde
twentie
daies
with
Iron
chaines
,
and
cast
into
a
sinck-hole
vpon
his
backe
,
and
swinged
dailie
with
birchen
roddes
:
and
the
thirde
time
,
bound
other
twentie
daies
vpon
a
bed
againe
,
in
his
owne
dung
and
vrine
(
with
reuerence
be
it
spoken
)
and
whipped
dailye
with
a
dogge
whippe
:
during
all
which
times
(
as
the
storie
imported
)
The
Pope
,
the
King
of
Spaine
&
all
other
Princes
,
And
yet
before
his
death
hee
called
all
such
Heretikes
.
that
were
enimies
to
the
gospell
,
(
vppon
a
certaine
cursse
that
Hacket
hadde
made
God
to
confounde
him
,
if
it
were
not
the
true
Religion
)
had
raised
vp
all
sortes
of
witches
,
inchanters
,
Sorcerers
and
Coniurers
in
all
kingdomes
,
to
practise
vpon
his
bodie
and
soule
by
all
kinde
of
tormentes
,
either
to
make
him
renounce
the
Gospell
,
or
else
to
destroy
him
:
vpon
condition
that
if
he
indured
constant
with
his
life
,
they
would
all
yeeld
vnto
the
Gospell
,
(
as
the
true
religion
only
)
and
make
him
chief
kinge
ouer
all
Europe
,
all
other
kings
to
holde
their
crownes
of
him
.
Nowe
the
report
of
Hackets
outwarde
torments
appearing
so
strange
,
and
the
storye
so
certaine
(
by
maister
Coppingers
testimonie
)
as
he
said
from
a
prencher
of
the
Gospell
,
{etc}
;
I
was
not
only
induced
to
credite
the
same
,
but
to
resolue
further
,
that
the
effects
for
Hacket
to
become
the
King
of
Europe
,
and
to
reforme
religion
were
likelie
to
follow
:
for
I
considered
that
neither
could
such
great
torments
bee
indured
,
See
heer
the
reason
of
my
great
folly
:
which
was
the
4.
assault
either
of
soule
or
bodie
as
was
mentioned
without
special
assistance
from
God
or
Satan
,
(
little
suspecting
he
was
a
satanist
)
neyther
yet
ouerpassing
the
same
with
life
,
but
needs
he
must
be
deare
vnto
God
,
and
preserued
to
some
good
vse
in
the
church
:
for
I
nothing
doubted
of
the
trouth
of
the
story
,
because
besides
M.
Cappinger
report
,
there
was
diuers
great
witnesses
named
therein
:
By
all
which
meanes
aforsaid
,
I
gaue
the
villaine
interest
to
infuse
his
curssed
filthie
spirit
into
me
in
manner
following
,
The
last
Lordes
day
before
our
arising
,
wee
all
concluded
to
keepe
a
priuate
〈◇〉
mayster
Coppinger
and
I
frequenting
our
olde
exercises
,
and
left
Hacket
at
mistris
Honiwoods
in
the
mean
space
,
who
said
the
wicked
spirit
Satan
,
was
fled
into
hir
only
for
a
refuge
,
but
she
shoulde
be
dispossest
of
him
shortlle
:
where
the
villain
praied
,
that
the
same
wicked
spirit
might
be
giuen
vnto
him
,
maister
Coppinger
and
I
thinking
he
did
so
in
good
will
to
the
woman
,
as
one
pitieng
her
wofull
estate
,
Mark
heere
another
way
that
satan
vsed
to
circumuent
vs.
and
able
to
cast
him
out
at
his
pleasure
:
hauing
indured
so
muche
before
.
Then
wee
all
returned
to
Hackets
chamber
,
where
we
finished
our
said
exercise
by
praier
in
course
:
when
the
ssme
came
to
my
poore
turn
considering
the
supposed
intended
treasons
(
as
you
haue
hearde
before
)
I
did
to
the
vttermost
of
my
abilitie
,
intreat
for
her
Maiesties
safe
preseruation
;
(
as
the
secret
searcher
of
all
harts
knoweth
)
and
so
did
maister
Coppinger
,
which
the
Traitor
perceyuing
,
the
next
time
himselfe
did
pray
for
her
Maiestie
,
Another
way
howe
Satan
abused
vs.
and
that
with
great
affection
as
seemed
to
vs
:
after
all
doone
,
he
imbraced
me
in
his
armes
,
protesting
that
he
tendered
the
safetie
of
her
Maiestie
euerye
waie
,
(
as
much
as
either
M.
Coppinger
or
I
did
:
)
at
the
which
instant
I
thinke
I
was
filled
with
Satans
spirit
,
for
before
we
departed
,
I
felt
my selfe
verie
hot
within
,
which
I
verelie
then
thought
had
beene
an
extraordinarie
motion
of
the
holie-ghost
,
(
as
Christs
Disciples
hadde
going
to
Emaus
;
[l](A21681-e12740-b)
l
Luk
.
24
,
3●
.
which
the
Lord
had
sent
downe
as
a
blessing
of
his
loue
vpon
our
exercise
,
so
I
departed
a
very
glad
man
,
The
nexte
night
following
as
I
laie
in
my
bed
,
I
found
my selfe
moued
to
pen
a
curssed
Prophesie
against
the
citty
of
London
,
Curssed
I
cal
it
,
both
in
respect
of
the
autor
(
the
spirit
of
Satan
in
mee
:
)
and
in
regard
of
the
matter
,
for
the
most
part
false
and
wicked
.
And
because
I
was
not
therevnto
called
by
the
Lord
(
though
my
intention
to
bring
all
people
to
repentance
were
neuer
so
holy
)
for
the
minde
and
knowledge
with
a
lawfull
calling
,
Good
points
.
must
all
ioyne
togither
in
the
seruice
of
God
.
But
before
I
durst
presume
to
goe
about
so
waightie
a
businesse
;
needs
must
I
goe
to
Hackets
chamber
to
haue
his
direction
in
the
matter
,
who
persuaded
me
easilie
,
that
I
was
mooued
therevnto
,
Mark
heere
the
vile
practise
of
Sata
to
abuse
,
by
the
very
spirite
of
the
Lorde
Iesus
:
(
The
villaine
I
doubt
meaning
himselfe
)
And
therevpon
kneeling
in
his
shirt
vppon
the
bed
,
praieng
for
the
blessing
of
Gods
holy
spirit
to
direct
and
prosper
my
trauell
and
labors
,
and
after
gaue
me
very
good
councell
,
not
to
relie
vpon
mine
owne
knowledge
,
but
to
depend
for
direction
from
aboue
,
for
the
Lorde
Iesus
whose
cause
it
was
,
Meaning
himselfe
would
not
faile
to
affist
mee
therein
and
minister
sufficient
matter
vnto
me
(
especially
against
all
hypocrits
)
whom
he
auouched
the
greatest
sinners
in
all
England
and
the
moste
dangerous
enimies
both
to
religion
and
to
the
state
.
Then
I
returned
vnto
my
chamber
,
where
(
as
the
Lord
knoweth
)
I
prosecuted
that
work
with
watered
plantes
,
See
my
affection
to
London
.
that
I
sinfull
wretche
,
should
denounce
so
heauie
and
fearfull
judgements
,
against
that
great
citty
which
I
loued
so
dearly
,
euen
for
the
exercises
of
the
word
therin
,
fearing
(
or
rather
expecting
the
euent
,
with
out
speedie
repentance
)
which
I
did
finssh
and
had
twise
written
it
ouer
,
before
the
wednesday
at
night
following
.
Wherein
I
remember
that
euen
then
(
with
a
good
conscience
)
I
set
down
my selfe
,
to
be
the
greatest
sinner
,
{etc}
:
Oh
how
true
hath
it
since
falne
out
.
During
the
which
aforesaid
space
,
vizd
:
betweene
the
Monday
and
the
Thursday
:
maister
Coppinger
had
penned
the
story
of
Hackets
torments
in
a
more
ample
maner
,
the
which
the
villaine
was
verye
desirous
should
accompanie
prophesie
,
(
which
wee
meant
out
of
hand
to
haue
put
into
print
)
that
I
must
needs
sit
vp
all
Thursday
at
night
to
write
it
fairer
againste
the
morning
,
Note
how
Satans
spirit
still
set
me
forward
.
which
I
perfourmed
without
any
wearinesse
or
desire
to
sleep
,
hauing
waked
almost
the
whole
night
before
.
In
the
morning
which
was
the
same
Fridaie
we
arose
maister
Coppinger
and
I
met
at
Hackets
Chamber
about
eight
of
the
clock
,
the
beastly
Epicure
lieng
then
in
his
bed
,
where
M.
Coppinger
(
after
a
solemne
sort
)
began
to
declare
what
manner
men
we
were
,
viz
:
That
it
was
shewed
him
by
vision
from
Heauen
,
that
himselfe
was
indued
with
the
spirit
of
the
Father
;
to
bee
the
greatest
and
laste
prophet
of
Mercie
,
The
sixt
assault
of
Satan
by
supposd
vision
that
Coppinger
and
I
were
Prophets
.
that
euer
was
or
shoulde
bee
in
the
worlde
:
and
that
I
was
the
laste
and
greatest
Prophet
of
Iudgementes
,
that
euer
was
or
should
be
:
both
of
vs
indued
not
onely
with
Propheticall
,
but
also
with
Angellicall
spirites
,
and
shoulde
separate
betweene
the
sheep
and
the
Goates
before
the
Lord
Iesus
at
the
last
day
:
as
for
Hacket
hee
was
greater
then
either
of
vs
,
and
that
we
were
appointed
to
attend
vpon
his
person
,
in
this
world
,
wherevppon
I
gathered
and
then
fullie
beleeued
that
he
should
indeed
be
the
king
of
all
Europe
as
his
storie
imported
but
not
once
dreaming
,
neither
as
yet
heard
any
speeches
that
he
durst
take
vppon
him
the
title
and
office
of
the
Lord
Iesus
:
which
nowe
followeth
in
order
to
speake
of
.
After
he
had
thus
brought
vs
out
of
order
to
abuse
vs
at
his
pleasure
:
M.
Coppinger
hauing
ended
his
speeches
of
our
callinges
,
we
both
kneeled
downe
at
the
beds
feet
to
praye
:
where
M.
Coppinger
began
,
and
standing
somewhat
vpon
his
vnworthines
and
great
vnfitnes
for
so
high
an
office
:
The
villaine
Hacket
start●
out
of
his
bed
,
and
interrupted
M.
Coppinger
,
(
himself
praieng
at
the
beds
side
in
his
shirt
only
)
that
the
honor
of
Christ
Iesus
might
bee
aduanced
,
See
how
satan
abused
●s
by
praier
.
meaning
himselfe
,
(
but
we
the
Lorde
in
Heauen
)
Then
he
skipt
into
bed
againe
,
M.
Coppinger
still
going
on
with
his
owne
vnworthinesse
,
{etc}
:
which
the
beast
perceiuing
,
hee
came
the
second
time
out
of
the
bed
,
prayeng
as
before
in
effect
,
and
that
wee
might
haue
regard
to
honor
Christ
Iesus
:
meaning
still
himselfe
,
(
but
we
the
Lord
in
Heauen
)
and
after
slipt
into
bed
againe
,
mayster
Coppinger
still
going
on
with
his
praier
,
which
my selfe
the
next
time
interrupted
,
for
seeing
Hacket
twise
before
to
arise
and
pray
so
earnestlie
for
the
honour
of
Iesus
,
I
was
inforced
through
the
spirit
of
Satan
within
me
,
to
bid
my
new
fellow
Prophet
arise
,
and
annoint
the
King
with
the
Holy-ghost
.
Wherevpon
M.
Coppinger
arose
immediatly
,
&
kissing
both
his
hands
three
times
,
Beholde
heare
the
presump●ious
manner
how
Hacket
termed
him selfe
Christ
Iesus
.
fel
downe
flat
vpon
his
face
three
times
also
,
and
kiste
the
chamber
boords
vnder
his
feet
,
and
after
(
with
lowe
obeisance
)
put
foorth
his
arme
towardes
Hackets
beddes
head
,
whoe
foorth
with
clasped
hands
with
him
,
and
said
you
shall
not
need
to
annoint
me
with
the
Holy-ghost
,
for
I
was
annointed
by
the
Holy-ghost
himselfe
when
I
was
in
Heauen
(
as
his
storie
imported
.
)
Then
answered
Coppinger
what
is
your
Maiesties
pleasure
to
be
doone
.
Oh
intollrable
blasphemie
.
You
are
both
the
Lords
prophetes
said
the
villaine
,
Goe
your
way
therefore
in
his
name
into
the
Cittie
,
and
proclaime
that
Christ
Iesus
is
come
to
iudge
the
world
with
his
fan
in
his
handes
,
Se
the
instant
of
time
when
he
proclamed
him selfe
Christ
Iesus
:
so
as
we
coulde
not
doo
otherwise
,
being
both
be
witched
by
his
spirit
.
and
if
the
people
aske
where
hee
is
,
you
may
tell
them
I
am
he
,
and
where
I
am
,
and
if
they
will
not
beleeue
you
,
bid
them
come
kil
me
if
they
can
:
your
Maiesties
pleasure
shall
bee
done
quoth
Coppin
and
down
the
staires
he
goeth
,
whom
Arthington
followed
in
such
hast
,
that
I
assure
you
I
left
my
gloues
behind
me
(
so
smal
time
had
I
to
think
of
the
matter
.
)
But
before
I
got
downe
the
staires
,
my
fellowe
false
prophet
had
proclaimed
news
from
Heauen
,
that
Ch.
Iesus
was
come
to
iudge
the
worlde
,
{etc}
,
At
what
time
I
was
compelled
in
spite
of
my
hart
,
to
tune
the
same
note
:
we
both
going
beyond
our
commission
;
hee
crieng
repent
,
and
mercy
;
and
I
repent
,
or
Iudgement
is
at
hande
:
which
the
Lord
knoweth
wroong
many
salt
teares
out
of
my
poore
eies
,
for
feare
of
the
euent
vpon
the
whole
Cittie
.
After
we
had
thus
plaid
our
pagent
in
Cheap
,
and
had
so
monstrouslie
abused
the
Lorde
Iesus
in
Heauen
,
by
proclaiming
an
vsurper
of
his
office
in
earth
,
All
three
thrown
into
sundry
prisons
.
giuinge
further
exceeding
great
offence
,
against
hir
Excellent
Maiestie
,
hir
Honourable
Councell
,
and
all
Christian
people
,
we
were
all
shortlie
after
clapt
faste
in
close
prisons
seuerally
:
there
to
bethink
our selues
what
answer
to
make
when
we
should
bee
called
to
giue
an
account
of
our
proceedings
:
since
which
time
I
did
neuer
see
either
of
my
companions
,
but
the
Wednesday
after
,
at
Sherife
Brooks
house
as
I
suppose
,
where
I
coulde
not
for
my
life
reframe
,
but
kneele
downe
to
Hacket
(
before
some
of
the
Councell
)
And
bid
God
saue
the
king
of
Europe
:
thinking
still
in
my
minde
hee
had
beene
so
indeed
:
neither
could
I
bee
discharged
either
of
his
wicked
spirite
,
Se
the
force
of
Satans
spirit
in
me
.
or
to
take
him
for
the
speciall
adopted
sonne
of
GOD
,
Christ
Iesus
in
earth
,
to
represent
the
personne
of
,
Christ
Iesus
in
Heauen
,
so
longe
as
the
breath
was
in
the
villaines
breast
:
but
as
Iohn
the
Baptist
was
the
fore-runner
of
Christes
firste
comming
,
to
bring
repentance
vnto
Saluation
:
so
I
deemed
Hacket
to
be
the
forerunner
of
Christs
second
comming
,
to
prepare
his
Iudgementes
against
all
such
persons
as
would
not
repent
.
If
any
should
demande
,
why
I
did
not
discouer
Hackets
intended
villainous
practises
against
the
Queene
and
state
:
(
seeing
hee
was
knowne
to
be
a
Sorcerer
,
An
obiection
.
and
condemned
for
high
Treason
against
hir
Maiestie
.
)
Truly
(
as
I
meane
to
be
saued
at
the
last
daye
)
both
those
matters
were
vnknowne
to
me
so
long
as
he
liued
,
Answered
.
(
and
to
maister
Coppinger
also
as
I
thinke
)
Neither
was
I
euer
anye
further
acquainted
,
with
any
sightes
,
visions
or
speeches
towching
these
matters
,
then
as
before
in
substance
is
declared
:
but
as
I
heard
by
maister
Yoong
,
since
his
death
,
{etc}
:
Therefore
as
on
the
one
side
,
I
should
deepelie
offend
the
Maiestie
of
God
,
if
I
shoulde
conceale
any
danger
intended
against
hir
Maiestie
,
Though
it
were
true
,
I
knew
not
so
much
.
(
falling
within
the
compasse
of
my
knowledge
.
)
So
should
I
displease
the
Lord
on
the
other
side
,
by
speaking
more
then
A
truth
of
any
,
yea
if
it
were
of
the
Deuill
himselfe
Protesting
thus
much
in
the
presence
of
God
,
that
if
I
were
priuie
to
one
euill
worde
(
other
then
I
haue
reuealed
)
spoken
againste
her
Maiestie
,
by
my selfe
or
the
dearest
friende
that
I
haue
,
if
I
should
not
discouer
it
to
hir
Highnes
Councell
,
and
put
them
or
my selfe
in
hir
Maiesties
mercy
:
I
should
thinke
my selfe
vnworthie
of
any
mercy
,
either
at
God
or
hir
Maiesties
hands
.
What
fauour
the
Lord
hath
made
me
finde
of
hir
Highnesse
,
and
her
Honourable
Councell
,
since
I
did
reueale
the
worst
againste
my
selfe
,
shall
appeare
more
plainelie
(
GOD
willing
)
heereafter
,
when
I
come
to
speake
there
of
in
particulers
.
In
the
meane
time
,
howe
I
demeaned
my selfe
,
from
the
day
of
our
arising
,
till
the
verie
houre
of
Hackets
execution
,
diuers
of
good
credit
that
heard
my
poore
praiers
,
The
forme
of
my
dailie
praiers
.
can
truly
witnesse
,
howe
continuallie
I
besought
the
Almightie
,
that
he
woulde
bring
shame
and
destruction
vppon
vs
all
three
or
any
of
vs
,
If
we
did
Wilfullie
seeke
,
Note
this
word
wilfullie
.
either
the
dishonour
of
Christ
Iesus
in
heauen
,
or
the
hurt
of
his
annointed
Queene
Elizabeth
in
Earth
,
which
the
Villaine
perceiuing
,
and
that
he
could
not
inforce
me
to
praye
for
Gods
vengeance
to
fall
vppon
the
Cittie
,
when
hee
knewe
himselfe
condemned
to
die
.
Then
he
sought
to
bee
reuenged
vppon
my
person
:
by
accusing
mee
to
maister
Yoong
,
See
the
malice
of
satan
when
he
cannot
compas
his
inteut
.
to
be
the
chiefe
Conspirator
,
and
so
to
bring
me
into
like
daunger
:
but
the
Lord
that
knewe
my
heart
(
though
I
were
greatlie
misled
)
hee
did
preserue
mee
from
all
extremyties
.
The
night
before
hee
was
to
be
executed
,
hee
sette
his
wicked
Spirite
so
on
worke
within
me
,
to
pray
for
vengeance
to
consume
the
Cittie
,
that
for
one
howre
at
the
least
about
Mydnight
,
I
prayed
so
lowd
,
that
I
awaked
moste
of
the
Prisoners
in
the
house
,
But
as
Balaam
being
hired
to
cursse
God
people
,
did
notwithstanding
[m](A21681-e13750-b)
m
Num
.
23.8
blesse
them
.
So
fell
it
out
with
mee
,
rather
to
praye
for
them
and
against
their
enimies
,
which
I
am
sure
,
did
sooner
helpe
to
set
the
villaine
into
hel
,
then
hurt
the
Citty
of
London
,
for
thus
I
praied
all
the
said
space
,
O
Lorde
,
when
thou
wilt
,
save
thine
elect
,
confound
thine
enimies
.
My
praier
when
Hacket
moued
me
,
but
not
as
he
expeted
.
And
truely
the
spirite
carried
my
minde
throughout
all
the
world
,
yea
into
Gods
secret
predestination
and
reprobation
,
to
saue
his
Elect
and
confounde
his
enimies
:
in
the
which
praier
I
continued
so
long
,
till
the
Master
of
the
prison
came
vp
to
threatē
me
harder
restraint
,
if
I
wold
not
cease
from
disquieting
the
houshold
.
The
next
daye
vpon
which
Hacket
was
executed
,
I
was
compelled
to
bee
more
instant
in
praier
then
before
:
but
still
I
kepte
within
one
compasse
,
My
praier
alwaies
within
one
compasse
.
that
if
any
of
vs
did
Wilfullie
intende
dishonour
to
Christ
Iesus
,
or
hurt
to
Queene
Elizabeth
,
shame
and
confusion
might
couer
their
faces
.
About
the
height
of
the
day
,
my
nexte
neighbor
prisoners
hauing
intelligece
that
Hacket
was
hangd
,
they
gaue
me
notice
therof
thorow
the
dore
,
&
what
a
desperate
end
he
made
.
Then
said
I
he
was
no
man
sure
,
but
a
Deuill
incarnate
,
appearing
to
me
as
an
angel
of
light
.
And
suddenlie
I
felt
my selfe
quite
dispossest
of
that
hot
spirit
;
and
of
all
those
grosse
and
palpable
errors
which
I
held
so
confidently
in
his
life
time
,
thinking
indeed
I
had
not
oftended
:
Euen
so
good
was
God
to
his
poore
and
sinful
seruant
,
that
knowing
me
to
bee
so
subtlelye
seduced
by
the
mallice
of
Satan
,
as
to
abuse
my
vnderstanding
knowledge
,
and
memorie
,
●ealens
,
volens
,
to
sin
so
fearefully
,
that
now
humbling
my selfe
truely
before
his
presence
,
and
expostulating
with
his
mercifull
Maiestie
,
whether
I
was
Reprobate
,
or
no
:
presentlie
the
Holy
ghost
did
assure
my
hart
That
I
was
no
reprobate
:
But
that
my
case
in
effect
,
was
muche
like

,
Paules
,
both
wishing
to
doo
God
good
seruice
,
yet
when
wee
thought
our selues
best
occupied
,
then
did
we
most
dishonor
his
nam
:
Neither
would
not
the
Lord
once
suffer
Satan
to
assault
my
conscience
either
with
the
feare
of
desperation
,
or
once
to
doubt
of
my
saluation
,
Oh
how
truelie
might
I
say
with
Dauid
,
I
did
confesse
my
sinnes
vnto
the
Lord

and
he
forgaue
the
iniquitie

Selah
Thus
hauing
briefty
touched
the
most
horrible
Rebellion
of
Hacket
against
the
Lord
Iesuts
,
with
the
manner
of
his
deluding
mee
,
to
proclaime
him
as
before
:
I
conclude
thus
much
of
this
first
point
,
that
if
we
either
consider
the
purpose
of
the
man
,
the
maner
of
his
proceeding
,
or
the
sequell
of
his
ending
,
wee
can
behold
no
better
in
Hacket
then
fearefull
signes
,
so
farre
as
mortall
man
can
discerne
.
In
the
meane
time
I
Wish
all
christians
to
beware
,
Of
Reprobation
.
how
they
flatter
and
bolster
themselues
in
their
sins
,
vpon
a
vaine
and
foolish
perswasion
,
that
Hacket
(
so
vile
a
wreteh
)
might
be
saued
,
because
forsooth
it
is
reported
,
that
albest
he
could
not
,
or
would
not
ask
God
mercy
:
yet
before
he
died
he
held
vp
his
handes
;
for
the
verie
paines
and
panges
of
death
will
inforce
a
man
to
cast
vp
his
hands
when
he
cannot
otherwise
help
himselfe
:
I
pray
God
blesse
me
and
all
good
men
,
from
such
a
bad
end
or
maner
of
ending
,
that
hauing
his
tongue
,
and
requested
to
pray
,
doth
refuse
praier
and
fall
to
cursing
:
I
hope
(
by
Gods
grace
so
long
as
I
liue
)
that
his
example
shall
be
Lots
wise
vnto
mee
,
to
be
admonished
howe
to
trust
any
man
in
matters
of
Religion
,
(
further
then
he
hath
warrant
from
the
word
)
what
visions
or
reuelations
soeuer
he
pretend
,
A
necessarie
admonition
.
which
rule
heeretofore
,
if
I
had
well
ovserued
,
(
as
my
heart
still
intended
)
i
had
not
committed
so
great
an
offence
in
the
Church
of
god
.
To
the
greater
dishonour
of
Christ
Iesus
,
the
griefe
of

godly
,

reioycing
to
the
aduersarie
,
and
to
the
imminent
danger
of
mine
owne
soule
,
and
bodie
,
whereof
it
followeth
to

First
,
concerning
the
greatnesse
of
mine
own
offence
,
in
proclaiming
Hacket
to
be

Iesus
the
Iudge
of
the
world
,
as
I
cannot
denie
it
(
in
respect
of

)
to

brought

of

who
for
the
same
was
stricken
stark
blind
:
All
which
offences
,
though
they
were
great
,
and
their
examples
fearefull
:
yet
(
in
respect
of
their
outward
facts
committed
)
the
same
extended
no
further
,
My
sinne
greater
thē
the
sins
of
Korah
,
Dathan
,
Abyram
,
Nadab
,
Abihu

{etc}
.
verie
plainly
proued
.
then
either
against
the
commandementes
of
God
in
his
required
worship
,
or
the
good
of
his
saints
.
But
mine
offence
touched
directly
the
person
of
Christ
Iesus
,
the
eternall
sonne
of
the
Almightie
God
,
which
must
needs
be
so
much
the
greater
,
As
the
person
of
Christ
,
is
aboue
a
mortal
man
,
or
God
himselfe
aboue
his
commandements
;
So
that
of
necessitie
I
must
either
compare
it
with
the
sin
of
Iudas
,
or
the
fall
of
Peter
:
because
they
were
both
committed
directly
against
the
very
person
of
Christ
Iesus
,
the
Lord
of
life
,
and
the
king
of
all
glorie
.
My
sin
not
so
great
as
the
treason
of
Iudas
by
these
reasons
following
.
But
as
I
may
not
grant
at
any
hand
,
that
my
sin
was
as
great
as
the
fact
of
Iudas
:
No
more
can
I
estimate
it
to
be
so
small
,
as
the
sinne
of
Peter
,
both
which
shall
appeare
the
more
plainly
by
these
comparisons
following
.
[1](A21681-e14350-b)
1
Comparison
.
First
,
concerning
Iudas
fact
;
It
proceeded
especially
of
a
couetous
desire
to
enrich
hymselfe
,
Luke
23.4.5.6
.
as
the
scripture
beareth
witnesse
:
both
in
asking
the
high
priest
{etc}
.
[t](A21681-e14380-b)
t
Mat
.
26.14.15.16
.
what
they
would
giue
him
to
betray
the
Lord
Iesus
,
Ioh
.
12.4.5.6
.
and
in
taking
mony
to
perform
the
same
.
Truly
,
I
should
accuse
my self
wrongfully
,
if
I
should
grant
there
was
any
such
matter
sought
or
intended
on
my
behalf
:
or
any
talk
among
vs
,
to
any
such
purpose
.
[2](A21681-e14420-b)
2
Comparison
Secondly
,
Iudas
transgressed
wilfully
against
the
forewarning
admonishion
,
and
threatning
of
the
Lord
Iesus
,
saying
,
[v](A21681-e14450-b)
v
Math
.
26.23
:
24.25
.
wo
be
to
that
man
by
whom
the
son
of
man
is
betraied
:
telling
Iudas
when
he
asked
,
that
it
was
himselfe
.
The
Lord
knoweth
I
had
no
such
forewarning
that
Hack
.
meant
to
proclaim
himself
Christ
Iesus
the
Iudge
,
til
the
very
instant
as
before
is
declared
when
I
had
no
power
nor
grace
to
resist
,
being
sore
bewitched
and
possest
with
his
diuelish
spirit
,
to
be
led
like
a
drunkard
which
way
he
would
.
[3](A21681-e14520-b)
3
Comparison
Thirdly
,
Iudas
the
traitor
,
sinned
presumptuously
,
against
his
own
knowledge
&
conscience
,
for
he
knew
Christ
Iesus
to
be
the
sauior
,
&
so
had
himself
profest
and
preached
[w](A21681-e14550-b)
w
Mat
.
10.1.16
.
with
the
rest
of
Christs
apostles
.
Contrariwise
,
I
thought
indeed
I
had
not
offended
,
Luke
9.1.10
but
highly
pleased
God
in
that
which
I
did
vntil
the
sorcerer
Hacket
was
hanged
.
[4](A21681-e14600-b)

Comparisson
.
Fourthly
,
there
is
no
mention
made
in
the
scripture
,
that
Iudas
wept
for
his
offences
,
or
once
asked
the
Lord
pardon
:
on
the
other
side
,
it
is
not
vnknown
both
vnto
God
and
many
of
hys
seruants
,
that
I
haue
often
wept
since
,
euen
for
offending
so
good
a
God
,
still
asking
,
seeking
and
knocking
for
pardon
,
and
not
without
comfort
I
thanke
my
lord
Iesus
.
If
any
man
obiect
,
that
the
scripture
recordeth
howe
Iudas
repented
and

.
An

.
confessed
his
sins
:
and
yet
was
damned
,
Therefore
not
all

I
answer
,
that
is
most
true
,
for
his
repentance

like
a
desperate
reprobate
so
tearmed
by

.
As
for
his
confession
,
it
was
only
to
man
(
and
not
vnto
God
)
neyther
did
he
euer
aske
God
or
man

.
But
l
thanke
God
in
Christ
,
my
sorrow
was
such
,
(
as
the
Apostle
speaketh
should
be
in
true
Christians
)
which
brought
foorth
[a](A21681-e14740-b)

repentance
vnto
saluation
:
for
that
my
greefe
especiallie
arose
from
these
causes
;
(
not
for
fear
of
torments
)
but
for
displeasing
the
almightie
Godhead
:
for
greeuing
his
spirite
,
for
offending
his
little
ones
,
The
true
causes
of
my
sorrow
.
for
discrediting
my
profession
,
{etc}
.
With
full
assurance
notwithstanding
,
that
my
sauiour
Iesus
would
forgiue
me
all
my
sinnes
,
and
grant
the
grace
heereafter
to
serve
him
better
,
for
the
which
I
daily
pray
;
Therefore
I
know
,
my
sin
was
not
so
heauie
or
great
,
as
the
fact
of
Iudas
,
if
they
be
ballanced
with
the
weights
of
Gods
sanctuarie
:
That
my
sinne
cannot
be
so
light
,
My
sinne
greater
thē
the
fall
of
Peter
,
by
these
reasons
ensuing
.
(
but
farre
more
heauie
then
Peters
denial
)
I
wil
easily
grant
.

Comparison
.
First
,
for
that
as
the
scripture
reporteth
)
Peter
did
but
thrise
denie
his
maister
Christ
.
But
I
proclaimed
(
the
suborned
Christ
,
Hacket
)
at
the
least
threescore
times
:
Peter
only
denied
his
maister
before
a
few
secretly
:
but
I
proclaimed
the
vsurper
Christ

openly
,
before
the
face
of
all
maner
people
,
and
that
in
the
greatest
Citie
of
England
,
about
the
varie
height
of
the
day
.
Peter
no
doubt
of
frailty
denied
his
maister
,
onely
for
the
preseruation
of
his
life
,
which
otherwise
might
haue
bene
in
danger
.
3.
Comparison
.
But
there
was
no
such
danger
to
be
feared
of
me
,
if
I
had
renounced
Hacket
to
be
Christ
Iesus
.
Peter
immediatly
repented
of
his
sinnes
at
the
verie
crowing
of
a
poore
cocke
:
4.
Comparison
.
But
I
could
not
be
brought
to
knowe
that
I
had
sinned
,
See
the
force
of
Satans
spirite
in
me
.
(
much
lesse
to
repent
)
for
twelue
daies
together
:
viz.
so
long
as
Hacket
liued
after
our
arising
:
Till
by
his
death
I
was
discharged
of
his
diuelish
spirit
.
Therefore
my
sin
cannot
but
be
greater
then
[a](A21681-e15020-b)
a
Matth
.
26.74
.
Peters
fall
,
who
though
he
cursed
himselfe
twise
or
thrise
,
yet
did
I
farre
exceede
him
therein
also
.
In
cursing
my selfe
threescore
times
at
the
least
.
Thus
albeit
Peters
fall
was
verie
great
in
denying
his
maister
,
yet
you
see
mine
to
be
manie
waies
greater
.
It
may
be
then
demanded
,
how
great
my
sin
was
,
seeing
A
question
.
I
auouch
it
to
be
aboue
peters
;
And
yet
not
so
great
as
the
treason
of
Iudas
,
which
was
the
sinne
against
the
holy
Ghost
,
[b](A21681-e15090-b)
b
Act.
1.18
.
as
the
Scripture
doth
testifie
,
Psal
.
99.
and
might
euidently
appeare
by
his
bowelles
gushing
out
,
when
hee
hanged
hymselfe
.
To
resolue
this
question
,
thus
much
I
protest
vpon
my
very
conscience
,
The
solution
.
that
as
before
I
haue
noted
the
sinne
of
Hacket
to
be
the
greatest
that
euer
was
committed
by
any
reprobate
:
So
I
take
mine
to
be
absolutely
the
greatest
that
euer
was
done
by
any
of
the
elect
;
How
great
my
sin
was
.
And
as
I
note
Hackets
rebellion
,
to
be
a
sinne
in
the
highest
degree
I
feare
against
the
holy-ghost
:
So
doe
I
estimate
my
sinne
in
proclaiming
hym
,
to
be
in
the
highest
degree
against
the
lord
Iesus
,
as
hee
was
man
.
By
this
accompt
may
some
say
,
you
make
your
fact
,
greater
then
the
sinne
of
Iudas
,
which
he
committed
onely
against
the
Lord
Iesus
.
An
obiection
.
I
answer
no
:
for
Iudas
,
The
answer
though
he
sinned
directly
against
the
verie
person
of
the
Lord
Iesus
:
yet
he
sinned
against
the
holy-Ghost
also
:
In
that
hee
knewe
Christ
to
be
the
sauiour
of
the
worlde
,
and
yet
did
wilfully
betraie
hym
to
death
,
as
before
is
noted
:
wherein
hys
sinne
did
farre
exceede
mine
,
as
I
haue
plainly
prooued
by
manie
reasons
,
hee
sinning
of
knowledge
,
I
of
ignorance
:
he
of
wilfulnesse
:
I
of
weakenesse
:
he
against
admonition
and
threatning
,
I
hauing
no
suche
forewarning
at
all
.
Therefore
to
ballance
my
sinne
to
be
equall
with
his
,
(
who
did
persecute
his
treason
,
flat
against
his
conscience
,
which
I
did
not
)
is
directly
vnlawfull
.
An
other
obiection
.
But
it
may
be
further
obiected
:
that
I
sinned
likewise
agaynst
my
knowledge
,
hauing
read
the
forewarning
of
the
Lord
Iesus
:
To
take
heede
of
all
suche
wicked
persons
,
as
should
falsely
take
vppon
them
[c](A21681-e15290-b)
c
Math
.
24.4.5
.
the
titles
of
Christ
Iesus
.
I
confesse
the
same
to
be
true
indeed
,
but
yet
so
,
The
solution
.
as
this
is
true
also
,
that
at
the
verie
instant
when
Hacket
bid
maister
Coppinger
and
mee
to
proclaime
him
Christ
Iesus
:
he
had
quite
expelled
the
former
sentence
out
of
our
mindes
.
And
hauing
once
proclaimed
him
,
{etc}
.
I
could
not
bee
dispossessed
of
that
diuelish
opinion
so
long
as
this
erronious
spirite
was
within
me
,
that
is
to
say
,
during
hys
life
.
Thus
doe
I
with
all
reuerence
and
humilitie
defend
my selfe
not
to
haue
sinned
against
the
holy-Ghost
:
and
yet
as
willingly
I
doe
confesse
,
My
sin
the
greatest
that
euer
was
committed
by
anie
of
the
elect
.
that
my
sinne
is
the
greatest
,
that
euer
was
committed
by
anie
of
the
redeemed
:
Protesting
from
the
verie
bottome
of
my
heart
,
that
if
I
shoulde
lie
in
Cheynes
all
the
dayes
of
my
life
,
What
pennance
I
deeme
my self
worthy
of
in
this

.
in
the
deepest
Dungeon
about
all
LONDON
,
and
should
continue
there
so
long
as
I
liue
;
(
or
rather
so
long
as
the
worlde
indureth
,
if
it
coulde
be
possible
)
yet
were
that
punishment
too
small
a
pennance
,
for
so
grosly
abusing
my
Sauiour
Christ
Iesus
,
and
so
an
ende
of
this
poynt
,
touching
the
greathesse
of
my
sinne
,
and
what
punishment
I
haue
deserued
in
this
world
(
besides
eternall
tormentes
,
in
the
worlde
to
come
)
If
God
should
but
deale
with
me
in
hys
iustice
,
as
I
am
fully
assured
he
will
not
;
But
freely
extend
his
mercies
still
vnto
me
,
whereof
now
followeth
brieftly
to
discourse
:
To
speake
as
I
shoulde
of
Gods
mercies
towardes
me
,

(
as
David
saith
)
they
be
so
many

that
I
am
not
able
either
to
number
them
,
or
rightly
to
consider
of
those
which
I
know
;
But
will
adde
my
best
indeuour
to
expresse
my
present
feeling
in
both
.
And
first
to
speake
of
Gods
prouidence
ouer
me
,
during
Hackets
life
:
Secondly
,
to
speak
of
his
like
fauour
towards
me
after
his
death
.
Concerning
the
former
point
,
touching
the
mightie
and
mercifull
prouidence
of
the
almightie

Of
Gods
prouidence

in
safe
preseruing
mee
from
intended
destruction
,
and
at
manie
dangers
,
during

I
either
consider
the
greatnesse

of
my

the
want

sought

or
compare
the
greatnesse
of

mercies
towards
me

with
his
former
fauor
extended
to
others
:
Then
shal
all
men
perceiue
the
more
plainly
,
the
goodnes
of
God
in
my
preseruation
.
-
1.
To
begin
with
the
first
point
,
touching
the
greatnesse
of
mine
offence
,
I
haue
alreadie
noted
it
before
,
(
according
to
my
conscience
)
to
be
the
greatest
sinne
that
euer
was
committed
(
excepting
the
sinne
against
the
HolieGhost
.
-
The
want
of
grace
that
appeared
in
me
,
was
manifest
to
all
men
,
In
that
I
was
so
farre
off
,
from
shewing
anie
signes
of
true
repentance
,
(
during
all
the
tyme
that
Hacket
liued
)
that
I
coulde
not
be
brought
to
see
mine
offence
,
in
that
perticuler
action
.
-
3.
Concerning
the
hard
euent
that
befell
maister
Coppinger
,
with
the
losse
of
his
life
(
thorough
that
wicked
Inchanters
meanes
especiallie
)
I
spare
to
speake
further
,
considering
the
same
is
touched
before
.
-

That
Satan
sought
my
wofull
destruction
,
not
onely
of
soule
but
of
bodie
also
,
aswell
in
this
world
,
as
in
the
worlde
to
come
,
can
be
denied
of
none
,
that
rightly
consider
what
my
sinnes
deserued
,
both
by
the
lawes
of
God
and
her
Maiestie
,
which
by
his
meanes
I
was
plunged
into
.

fauours
heretofore

in

Concerning

(
which
poor

hauc
found
of
my

,
and
at
the
Migistrates
handes
(
especially
of
her
moste
honorable
Councell
,
whome
I
did
so
much
abuse
in
my
specehcs
,
when
I
Wanted
grace
to
guide
my
selse

)
and
for
proclaiming
Hacket
to
be
the
king
of
Europe
{etc}
.
What
I
haue
deserued
for
abusing
my
Soueraigne
{etc}
.
Alas
what
can
I
saie
for
my
exeuse
,
(
though
I
was
seduced
by
hys
wicked
spirite
,
and
moste
blasphemous
storie
)
but
confesse
freelie
(
as
I
do
from
my
heart
)
that
I
deserued
a
moste
shamefull
death
.
See
then
the
goodnesse
of
my
mercifull
God
,
in
mouing
the
heartes
of
Christian
Magistrates
,
to
pitie
my
bodie
,
(
as
he
did
my
soule
)
father
then
to
suffer
anie
further
tormentes
to
fall
vppon
eyther
,
(
saue
a
gentle
restraint
to
my
good
for
the
time
)
wherein
I
obserue
the
prouidence
of
GOD
,
(
through
their
honors
great
wisdome
,
and
graue
councell
)
in
keeping
me
close
prisoner
so
long
,
to
redound
moste
to
his
honour
and
glorie
.
For
if
they
shoulde
haue
admitted
the
godly
and
Wise
to
haue
conference
with
mee
,
whilest
I
was
possest
with
the
spirite
of
Satan
,
I
might
so
possibly
haue
done
them
hurt
:
Sure
I
am
,
they
coulde
haue
me
verie
small
good
,
vntill
I
was
parted
as
it
Were
with
my
familier
,
which
was
the
same
houre
that
Hacket
suffered
.
Or
,
if
they
had
sent
me
the
blessed
booke
of
God
,
during
the
said
time
(
as
I
did
continuallie
craue
the
same
)
surely
I
should
haue
wrested
the
Scripture
for
the
stronger
maintenance
of
my
errors
:
and
so
haue
increased
my
sinnes
the
more
.
Or
if
they
had
suffered
some
godlye
men
to
haue
accesse
vnto
me
,
when
Hacket
was
executed
,
euen
then
to
comfort
my
sorrowfull
soule
,
when
I
deemed
my selfe
forsaken
of
all
,
How
God
hath
incresed
his
glory
by
my
restauration
.
&
worthie
to
be
accurssed
both
of
God
and
man
.
Assuredlie
,
the
glory
of
God
should
not
thereby
so
brightly
haue
shined
foorth
:
as
in
restoring
me
to
my
former
comfort
in
Christ
,
by
the
speciall
working
of
his
owne
holie
spirit
,
without
the
helpe
of
anye
mortall
creature
,
that
all
the
glory
of
my
restauration
,
might
redound
wholie
vnto
himselfe
.
But
to
speake
of
some
particular
sauours
,
which
I
haue
alreadie
receiued
of
their
Honors
,
Thus
much
I
doo
most
humblie
confesse
.
That
whereas
I
deserued
continuall
restrainte
,
theyr
Honors
are
pleased
I
should
haue
the
libertie
of
the
prison
.
That
all
my
friends
may
come
and
see
me
:
and
where
I
deserued
a
most
shamefull
death
,
they
haue
consented
(
as
I
am
informed
)
that
I
might
sue
for
hir
Maiesties
pardon
.
O
then
,
howe
great
cause
haue
I
and
all
my
friends
to
speake

and
reuerentlye
of
her
Maiestie

for
so
great

extended

the
which

because
some
wicked
wretches
it
may
be

will
carpe
at

(
as
wishing
rather
to
haue
seene
my

albeit
their
Honours
haue
sufficient
reasonne
to
warrant
their
proceedings
in
that
behalfe
:
yet
with
their
fauors
I
humbly
pray
pardon
,
Diuers
reasons
to
moue
their

that
I
may

In

haue
not

vsed
to
pray
dailie
for

(
as
before

but
euen
then
when
as
I
was
the
massenger
of

,
I
protested
(
&
the
Lord
knoweth
it
proceeded
from
my
hart
)
that
if
I
had
ten
mens
liues
within

I

as

againste

in

whereof
,
I
do
humblie
sue
and
not

for

pardon
:
wishing
to
my selfe
no

at

,
if
I
haue
not

More

commend

Marke
these
points

neither
were
their
deliuerances
so
strange
as
mine
:
they
beeing
onlie
preserued
from
bodilie
dangers
,
but
I
,
most
mightilie
protected
from
imminent
danger
of
eternall
destruction
both
of
bodie
and
soule

And
that

I
wanted

as

which
dooth
so
much

exceeding

And
albeit
the
Scripture
recordeth
,
that
our
Sauiour
Christ
cast
out
of
one
man
,
a
Legion
of
Diuels
,
The
casting
of
a

of
deuils
out
of

man
,
not
so
great
fauor
as
is
shewed
to

yet
,
(
in

was
not
that
so
great
mercie
,
as
God
hath
shewed
me
:
as
may
be
gathered
by
these
reasons
.
First
,
It
is
said
that
the
partie
,
was
most
miserablie
tormented
with
them
:
Insomuche
,
1
Reason
.
as
the

kept

that

,
{etc}
.
Answered
.
But
the
Lord
would
not
suffer
me
to
be
so
tormented
,
no
nor
to
be
once
tempted
of
Satan
,
to
hurt
my selfe
anie
waie
.
2.
Reason
.
Secondlie
,
if
he
had
a
great
fauour
shewed
him
,
to
haue
so
maine
deuils
cast
out
of
his
bodie
,
which
did
so
torment
him
.
Answered
.
Howe
much
more
I
,
to
be
altogither
preserued
from
the
same
,
hauing
so
deepelie
trespassed
,
as
before
.
3.
reason
.
There
is
no
record
nor
likelihood
,
that
the
sinne
of
that
man
was
so
great
as
mine
.
Answered
.
Therefore
,
in
sparing
mee
altogither
from
such
torments
,
(
who
rather
deserued
them
doble
vpon
me
)
the
same
must
of
necessitie
proue
the
Lords
mercie

to
be
far
more
extended
vpon

,
then
towards
this
poore

,
notwithstanding
the
casting
out

so
manie
Deuils
.
And
now
(
my
Lord
God
)
how
much
is
thy
Seruant
beholding
to
thy
Maiestie
,
surely
I
cannot
tell
,
nor
no
man
liuing

for
as
thy

that

O

giue

:
truelie
I

What
shal
I
giue

but
acknowledge

with
thankfulnesse
.
(
and
I
wish
all

to
doo
the
like
with

)
that
there
was
neuer
anye
mortall
creature
so
much

as
I
humblye
confes
my self
to

the
most
sinfull
wretch
of

man
liuing

and
yet
haue
founde
more
fauour
at

hands
of
my

then
anye

that
euer
yet
liued

as
none
can
denie

that
rightlie
consider
of

prouidence
ouer

For
is
it
not

moste
strange
to
behold
,
that
the
one
of
my
Companions
beeing
stricken
stark
mad
as
was
informed
,
&
ending
his
life
in
a
pitifull
maner
:
the
other
arrained
,
condemned
and
executed
for
high
treason
against
hir
Maiestie

{etc}
:
and
dieng
moste
desperatelie
like
a

Reprobate
:
that
I
notwithstanding
(
being
the
third
person
in

wofull
pageant
)
should
be
safelie
preserued
from
all
dangers
,
not
once
to
be
brought
before
the
bar
of
iustice
.
O
then
let
all
tongs
confesse
the
[n](A21681-e17210-b)

107.8
goodnesse
of

extoll
the

sound

world

Amen

But
consider
yet
more
deepelie
of
the
lords
mercie
towardes
me
,
by
a
temporall
comparison
:
If
that
wofull
wretch
would
thinke
himselfe
happie
,
that
hauinge
rebelled
againste
his
Souereigne
,
should
notwithstanding
receiue
his
pardon
,
&
be
admitted
not
only
into
the
kings
speciall
fauour
,
but
also
to
beholde
his
countenance
dailie
so
long
as
he
liued
.
O
then
(
poore
soule
)
how
much
am
I
bonnd
and
beholding
dailie
,
to
the
eternall
goodnes
of
my
Sauiour
Iesus
,
the
king
of
all
glorie
:
that
hauing
double
trespassed
,
both
againste
mine
owne
Souereigne
,
Specially
to
the
repentant
.
and
his
glorious
Maiestie
.
In
the
highest
degree
that
euer
did
anie
nowe
liuing
vpon
the
earth
,
yet
for
all
this
,
is
not
onelie
pleased
to
moue
my
said
Souereigne
to
spare
my
life
hitherto
,
and
to
put
me
in
hope
of
further
fauour
:
But
as
a
blessed
example
giuer
to
all
Superiours
,
(
To
delight
in
mercie
,
more
then
in
iustice
)
dooth
(
for
his
owne
names
sake
)
not
only
remit
and
release
all
my
sinnes
,
but
further
assureth
me
of
his
eternall
fauour
,
to
enioy
his
presence
for
euermore
,
which
dooth
as
far
surmount
all
earthlie

fauours
,
as

excelleth
all
temporall
Princes
,
and
the
ioyes
of

,
all
the
vaine
pleasures
of
this
mortall
life
.
How
truelie
then
may
I
say
with

O
the

how
vnserchable
are

to

be

Amen
.
And
if
we
compare
the
dealings
of
the
Lord
with
the
vsuall
proceedings
of

Pry
nces
,
we
shall
further
behold
Gods
great
fauour
towards

,
to
exceed
all
the
fauours
of

Magistrates
:
whoe

doo

proceed
to
condemne

partie
:
and
hardlie
pardon
any
(
as
there
is
no
reason
)
without
some
tokens
of
outwarde
repentance
.
See
and
marke
well
then
,
The
incomparable
greatnesse
of
the
Lords
kindnesse
towards
me
:
who
was
not
onelie
pleased
to
receiue
mee
to
mercie
,
Se
hear
how
Gods
mercies
stil
preuente
me
.
For
Christe
Iesus
forgaue
me
,
&
moued
the
Magistrates
likewise
to
pitty
mee
,
when
I
wanted
grace
to
confesse
my
sinnes
.
vppon
my
true
and
vnfeined
repentance
.
But
euen
then
most
of
all
did
he
shewe
me
greatest
fauour
,
in
safe
preseruing
me
from
all
extremities
of
soule
and
bodie
,
when
Hacket
my
companion
was
condemned
for
Treason
,
and
I
wanted
grace
to
acknowledge
the
same
.
But
the
Lord
had
respect
to
the
innocencie
of
my
hart
:
for
(
albeit
in
regard
of
the
outward
offence
giuen
)
I
deserued
no
fauour
of
God
nor
of
man
:
yet
I
protest
before
his
holy
Maiestie
.
That
when
I
was
busiest
in
seruing
of
Satan
,
I
did
thinke
then
moste
of
all
to
please
the
lord
Iesus
.
And
when
I
pronounced
the
heauiest
iudgementes
againste
the
Cittie
of
London
,
then
did
I
most
of
all
bemone
their
mysery
.
So
innocent
and
guiltlesse
was
I
in
my
will
,
Woe
is
mee
for
London
did
I
crie
in
the
streetes
,
as
diuers
can
witnes
.
either
from
wilfull
dishonouring
Christ
Iesus
in
Heauen
;
or
to
hurt
the
least
of
his
Seruants
in
earth
.
Oh
how
truelie
then
may
I
saie
with
S.
Paule
,
Though
with
my
members
I
serued
Satan
,
[r](A21681-e17500-b)

7.25
.
yet
in
my
minde
I
serued
Christ
Iesus
,
hauing
my
whole
intention
to
please
him
.
It
was
not
I
them
,
that
pronounced
Hacket
to
be

the

(
which
that

had
infused
into

,
as
you
haue
heard
before
)
for
touching
the
inwarde

,
the

and
my

will
still
beare
mee
recorde
,
that
I
had
no
minde
to
dishonour

,
or
to
hurt
anie

:
therfore
had
the
Lord
compassion
vppon
me
(
not
for
mine
innocenoie
)
but
for
his
owne
names
sake
.

I

vsed

concerning

Satan
vseth
two

al
satan
hath
two
waies
to
assault
all

the
one

,

corrupt

a

to

contrarie

The

is
to

a
false
Religion

religion
of

contrarie

to
serue

and
that
by
mine
owne
poore
woefull
example
.
The

by

my

,
My
first
assault
,
by
loue

.
id
planting
my
affections
of
loue
and
hatred
,
as
the
Lord
required
:
for
satan
seeing
me
to
loue
the
preaching
ministerie
,
and
to
stand
with
them
in
their
iust
defence
,
against
all
such
persons
as
sought
their
iniurie
:
And
further
,
howe
I
laboured
to
get
some
notorious
offenders
punished
:
Hee
did
so
procure
my
discredite
with
the
worst
,
that
they
had
almost
cost
me
my
life
.
When
satan
could
not
preuaile
this
waie
,
My
second
by
compassion
.
but
that
my
credite
still
increased
with
the
best
,
who
did
ouermatch
his
malice
against
me
.
Then
he
fought
quite
to
spoile
my
estate
,
for
euer
to
disable
me
from
doing
anie
good
,
in
the
Church
or
commonwealth
:
and
that
was
by
abusing
my
affection
of
compassion
,
in
seeking
to
releeue
a
poore
distressed
gentleman
beyond
my
abilitie
,
which
hath
brought
no
small
discredite
to
the
Gospell
,
and
that
greeueth
my
soule
most
of
all
.
For
though
it
should
be
graunted
,
My
conscience
faith
so
.
that
the
ground
of
my
affection
was
laid
in
Gods
feare
,
to
seeke
to
restore

decaied
meber
of

yet
that

so
farre
pitty
his

ouerthrow

in

preuailed

my selfe
,
My
charge
only
a
wife
and
few
seruants
without
children
.
hauing
no
further
charge
,
then
a
company
of
wilde
deare
to
attend
vpon
,
the
which
(
by
vertue
of
my
patent
)
maie
lawefullie
be
discharged
by
others
(
and
better
then
by
my selfe
,
my
infirmities
considered
)
I
see
no
reason
to
the
contrarie
,
(
except
all
loue
duties
should
surcease
,
{etc}
.
)
But
that
to
do
more
good
to
the
church
and
common-wealth
,
by
seeking
the
repaire
of
a
decaied
profitable
member
of
the
same
,
I
may
well
bee
spared
for
a
time
from
my
charge
,
to
manage
his
cause
,
or
to
helpe
him
with
my
bondes
(
if
I
had
kept
within
my
compasse
therin
)
namelie
considering
these
reasons
following
.
When
Satan
my
old
enimie
,
coulde
by
no
meanes
preuaile
,
neither
to
discredite
nor
disable
me
vtterly
,
but
that
(
by
Gods
prouidence
)
I
was
like
in
short
time
to
passe
through
al
dangers
:
then
did
he
seeke
to
abuse
my
simplicitie
by
the
affection
of
trust
or
credit
in
an
other
respect
,
The
thirde
assalt
by
abusing
my
credit
.
and
so
to
plunge
me
at
once
ouer
head
&
eares
,
into
the
pit
of
woeful
perdition
,
to
destroie
my
soule
and
bodie
for
euer
,
if
he
coulde
possible
:
and
that
was
by
making
Hacket
his
instrument
,
all
men
could
see
no
other
likelihoode
but
present
destruction
of
soule
and
bodie
was
like
to
fall
vpon
me
,
(
my
selfe
preparing
continually
for
death

Cor

whensoeuer
I
shoulde
be
thereunto
called
,
which
I
expected
from
day
to
day
)
Behold
the
great
goodnesse
of
Almightie
God
towards
me
,
in
mouing
their
H
H
to
take
compassion
of
me
,
not
once
to
suffer
me
to
come
in
place
of
iudgement
,
but
further
to
consent
that
my
life
should
be
spared
.
O
then
howe
truely
may
I
say
,
with
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
The
Lord
is
my
shepheard
:
therefore
can
I
lacke
nothing
,
for
though
I
walke
within
the
shade
[q](A21681-e18610-b)
q
Psal
.
23.4
of
death
:
yet
shall
I
feare
nothing
for
with
his
rod
and
shepheardes
staffe
,
I
am
still
comforted
,
yea
he
will
still
preserue
me
from
euerie
euill
worke
intended
against
mee
,
and
reserue
me
safely
to
inherite
his
kingdom
:

to
whom

Amen

Nowe
haue
you
heard
inbriefe
discoursed
,
the
substaunce
of
satans
seducing
mee
,
touching
that
moste
horrible
action
committed
,
of
proclaiming
Christ
Iesus
in
Cheapeside
,
{etc}
.
With
the
maner
of
his
deluding
my
affections
from
time
to
time
,
wishing
and
admonishing
that
my
wofull
fall
,
may
i
teach
all
others
in
time
to
beware
,
and
by
all
good
wisedome
to
preuent
satans
practises
for
I
can
tell
them
(
by
tried
experience
)
that
when
they
themselues
do
least
suspect
him
,
in
may
be
hee
seeketh
most
of
all
to
intrap
them
:
The
Apostle
saith
truely
,
Resist
Satan
,
and
he
will
flee
from
you
:
But
all
the
cunning
[s](A21681-e18690-b)

lieth
howe
to
knowe
when
hee
doth
tempt
vs
,
with
what
weapons
wee
should
resist
him
,
&
at
what
time
to
put
the
same
in
practise
:
whereof
(
God
willing
)
you
shall
heare
more
hereafter
,
as
time
and
opportunitie
will
permit
:
In
the
mean
space
let
all
maner
people
knowe
thus
muche
,
that
seeing
satan
hath
sought
so
instantly
my
death
and
destruction
,
I
protest
my self
his
deuoted
enemie
,
(
by
the
grace
of
God
)
to
oppose
my selfe
against
him
and
his
kingdome
,
so
much
as
in
me
lieth
,
euen
so
long
as
I
liue
:
desiring
further
,
that
it
may
not
be
forgotten
what
Christ
hath
done
for
me
,
that
all
sorts
of
people
may
sound
out
his
praises
worlde
without
end
.
And
nowe
my
poore
soule
,
conclude
and
say
with
Dauid
,
Whom
haue
I
in
heauen

thee

O
Lord

euen
