THe
people
of
God
,
who
live
in
such
times
wherein
publike
dangers
and
persecutions
are
approaching
,
being
conscious
to
their
own
infirmities
,
and
weaknesse
,
are
many
times
much
perplexed
,
and
distracted
with
the
feares
,
and
apprehensions
of
the
ensuing
perills
,
and
through
weaknesse
of
Faith
much
question
whether
they
be
able
to
undergo
such
conflicts
,
and
endure
such
temptations
as
the
people
of
God
formerly
have
done
?
or
whether
the
power
of
God
doth
so
eminently
appeare
in
these
latter
times
for
the
deliverance
of
his
Church
,
and
Children
,
as
in
the
time
of
the
Old
Testament
,
and
in
the
first
primitive
times
of
the
Gospel
it
did
?
But
certainly
the
Name
of
God
is
wonderful
still
:
His
arme
is
not
shortened
that
it
cannot
save
,
nor
his
eare
heavy
that
it
cannot
heare
:
So
that
we
may
assure
our selves
,
that
either
he
will
preserve
us
from
,
or
support
us
under
,
or
deliver
us
out
of
any
temptation
,
that
may
or
shall
befall
us
:
For
God
never
puts
his
servants
to
suffer
,
but
he
furnisheth
them
with
spirituall
sufficiency
to
go
through
with
the
same
.
And
like
as
a
prudent
Commander
makes
not
choice
of
white-livered
Souldiers
for
hot
service
&
high
attempts
;
but
of
those
of
greatest
experience
,
and
most
approved
valour
:
so
God
singles
out
his
valiantest
Souldiers
for
strongest
encounters
,
his
best
Scholars
for
the
largest
lessons
,
his
choicest
armour
for
the
highest
proof
,
the
most
courageous
Christians
for
the
sorest
afflictions
.
And
that
the
truth
hereof
may
the
more
clearly
appear
,
view
seriously
th●se
ensuing
examples
,
both
of
the
ancient
and
moderne
times
,
which
as
they
were
first
recorded
for
the
publike
benefit
:
so
are
they
now
collected
out
of
severall
authours
of
good
credit
for
our
present
instruction
,
and
consolation
.

be
appeased
,
till
in
his
warres
against
the
Germanes
his
Army
was
ready
to
perish
for
want
of
water
,
whereupon
one
of
his
Legions
(
being
all
Christians
)
prayed
unto
Christ
,
who
immediately
sent
abundance
of
raine
,
which
refreshed
the
Roman
Army
,
and
dashed
their
enemies
with
thunder
and
fire

Antioch

being
apprehended

he
cried
out

Let

the

desirous
of

commanded
him
to
be
sent
home
upon
a
fierce
horse
,
which
used
to
cast
his
riders
,
and
teare
them
to
pieces

the
godly
Bishop
being
mounted

he
laid

his

and
carried
him
home
safely
to
his

Sanctius
a
godly
Christian
under
one
of
the
first
persecutions
,
though
he
was
vexed
with
all
sorts
of
Torments
,
yet
could
he
not
be
compelled
to
confesse
his
name
,
countrey
,
or
kindred
,
but
to
every
question
,
still
answered
,
I
am
a
Christian
;
whereupon
the
tormenters
applied
Plates
of
Brasse
red-hot
to
all
the
tenderest
parts
of
his
body
,
which
was
extreame
sore
with
former
scourgings
,
whereby
his
body
was
so
pitifully
drawne
together
,
that
he
retained
not
the
shape
of
a
man
;
after
which
they
cast
him
into
prison
,
and
after
a
few
dayes
(
his
body
being
all
over
so
sore
that
he
could
scarce
endure
the
least
touch
)
they
bring
him
forth
to
new
torments
,
presuming
thereby
either
to
force
him
to
blaspheme
,
or
to
die
under
them
;
on
the
contrary
,
his
body
was
so
suppled
,
and
refreshed
by
his
torments
,
that
he
recovered
his
former
shape
,
and
use
of
his
members
,
their
intended
punishment
(
by
the
grace
of
Christ
)
proving
a
safe
medicine
unto
him

The
childe
of
a
Christian
,
being
but
seven
years
old
,
was
asked
by
a
heathen
Tyrant
how
many
gods
there
were
?
whereunto
he
answered
,
that
whatsoever
men
affirme
to
be
God
,
must
needs
be
one
,
which
with
one
is
one
and
the
same
:
and
inasmuch
as
this
one
is
Christ
,
of
necessity
Christ
must
be
the
true
God
.
The
Tyrant
being
amazed
at
this
answer
,
asked
him
,
where
,
and
of
whom
he
had
learned
this
lesson
?
Of
my
mother
(
quoth
the
childe
)
with
whose
milke
I
sucked
in
this
Doctrine
.
Whereupon
the
mother
was
called
,
and
she
gladly
appeared
;
The
Tyrant
commanded
the
childe
to
be
horsed
up
,
and
scourged
:
the
joyful
mother
standing
by
with
dry
cheeks
,
whilest
all
the
beholders
wept
:
yea
,
she
rebuked
her
Babe
for
craving
a
cup
of
water
to
quench
his
thirst
,
charging
him
to
thirst
after
the
cup
which
the
Infants
of
Bethlehem
once
dranke
of
,
and
to
remember
little
Isaac
,
who
willingly
offered
his
throat
to
the
sacrificing
knife
.
Whilest
she
thus
counselled
him
,
the
bloody
Tyrant
puld
off
the
skinne
from
the
crowne
of
his
head
:
the
mother
cried
,
Suffer
,
my
childe
,
for
anon
thou
shalt
passe
to
him
who
will
adorn
thy
naked
head
with
a
crown
of
glory
.
Whereby
the
childe
was
so
encouraged
,
that
he
received
the
stripes
with
a
smiling
countenance
:
After
which
the
Tyrant
cast
him
into
prison
,
and
shortly
after
commanded
him
to
be
beheaded
;
at
which
time
the
mother
taking
up
her
childe
into
her
armes
,
kissed
him
,
and
being
required
,
she
delivered
him
to
the
Executioner
,
saying
,
Farewell
,
my
sweet
childe
:
and
whil'st
his
head
was
cutting
off
,
she
sang
,
All
land
and
praise
with
heart
and
voice
,
O
Lord
,
we
give
to
thee
,
To
whom
the
death
of
all
thy
Saints
We
know
full
dear
to
be
.
The
head
being
off
,
the
mother
wrapped
it
in
her
garments
,
laid
it
to
her
breast
,
and
so
departed
.

Babilas
a

Christian
for
the
cause
of
Christ
was
tormented
with
most
exquisite
tortures
,
and
so
cruelly
excruciated
from
morning
till
noone
,
that
he
hardly
escaped
with
life
.
After
which
some
of
his
friends
asking
him
,
how
he
could
abide
such
sharp
torments
?
he
said
,
that
at
the
beginning
he
felt
some
paine
,
but
afterwards
there
stood
by
him
a
young
man
,
who
as
he
was
sweating
with
paine
,
wiped
it
off
,
and
oft-times
refreshed
him
with
cold
water
,
wherewith
he
was
so
delighted
,
that
when
he
was
let
down
from
the
Engine
,
it
grieved
him
more
then
his
torments
.

often
counselled
her
to
take
heed
of
inquiries
farther
then
Gods
Word
,
and
to
trust
assuredly
that
she
might
ground
her
salvation
upon
evidences
out
of
that
,
without
farther
revelations
;
yet
still
did
that
temptation
grow
upon
her
,
insomuch
that
having
a
▪
Venice-glasse
in
her
hand
,
the
Minister
sitting
by
her
,
she
brake
forth
into
very
lamentable
words
,
saying
,
You
have
often
told
me
that
I
must
seek
no
further
then
Gods
Word
,
but
I
have
been
long
without
comfort
,
and
can
endure
no
longer
:
therefore
if
I
must
be
saved
let
this
glasse
be
kept
from
breaking
,
and
therewithal
she
threw
it
against
the
walls
:
and
though
the
Lord
might
have
dealt
otherwise
,
yet
he
was
content
to
satisfie
her
longing
soul
with
a
miracle
:
The
Glasse
rebounds
againe
,
and
comes
safe
unto
the
ground
:
which
the
Minister
taking
up
,
said
,
Oh
repent
of
this
sinne
,
and
blesse
God
for
his
mercy
,
never
distrust
him
more
of
his
promise
.

Mistris
Katharine
Brettergh
upon
her
death-bed

was
assaulted
with
most
grievous
temptations
,
which
made
her
cry
out
that
a
roaring
wildernesse
of
wo
was
within
her
;
that
her
sinnes
had
made
her
a
prey
to
Satan
,
and
wished
that
she
had
never
been
borne
,
or
that
she
had
been
made

at
length

by

wonderful

she
recovered
such
comfort
,
that
in
the
ravishments

spirit

she
cried
out
,
O
Lord
Jesus
,
doest
thou
pray
for
me
?
O
blessed
and
sweet
Saviour
,
how
wonderful

how
wonderful

how
wonderful
are
thy

O
thy
love

O
Lord
my

,
blessed
be
thy
Name
for

which
hast
shewed
me
the
path
of
life
:
thou
diddest
,
O

,
hide
thy
face
from
me
for
a
little
season
,

with
everlasting
mercy
thou
hast
compassion
upon
me

thy

art
come

Mr.
Peacock
a
biessed
servant
of
God
,
being
in
horrour
of
conscience
,
recounting
some
smaller
sinnes
,
burst
out
into
these
words
:
And
for
these
now
(
saith
he
)
I
feele
an
hell
in
my
conscience
;
and
afterwards
groaning
most
pitiously
,
he
cried
out
,
O
me
pitious
wretch
!
Oh
mine
heart
is
miserable
!
Oh
,
oh
,
miserable
,
and
wofull
!
the
burthen
of
my
sinne
lieth
so
heavie
upon
me
,
I
doubt
it
will
break
my
heart
:
Oh
how
wofull
and
miserable
is
my
state
,
that
thus
must
converse
with
hell-hounds
!
Being
asked
whether
he
would
pray
?
he
answered
,
I
cannot
:
then
they
said
,
Let
us
pray
for
you
:
Take
not
(
replied
he
)
the
Name
of
God
in
vain
by
praying
for
a
reprobate
;
but
after
a
while
this
tempest
of
temptation
being
over
:
Truly
(
said
he
)
my
heart
and
soul
hath
been
farre
led
,
and
deeply
troubled
with
temptations
,
and
many
inconsiderate
speeches
have
flowed
from
me
in
the
same
,
for
which
I
humbly
and
heartily
aske
mercy
of
God
:
I
now
finde
that
the
Sea
is
not
more
full
of
water
,
nor
the
Sunne
of
light
,
then
the
Lord
of
mercy
,
yea
his
mercies
are
ten
thousand
times
more
;
what
great
cause
have
I
to
magnifie
the
goodnesse
of
God
,
that
hath
humbled
,
nay
rather
exalted
such
a
wretched
miscreant
,
and
of
so
base
a
condition
,
to
an
estate
so
glorious
and
stately
?
the
Lord
hath
honoured
me
with
his
goodnesse
:
I
am
sure
he
hath
provided
a
glorious
Kingdom
for
me
:
The
joy
that
I
feele
in
my
heart
is
incredible
.

Mr.
Robert
Glover
was
so
worne
and
consumed
by
the
space
of
five
yeares
,
that
neither
almost
any
brooking
of
meate
,
quietnesse
of
sleepe
,
pleasure
of
life
,
yea
,
and
almost
no
kinde
of
sense
was
left
in
him
;
upon
the
apprehension
of
some
backsliding
:
he
was
so
perplexed
,
that
if
he
had
been
almost
in
the
pit
of
hell
,
he
could
have
despaired
no
more
of
his
salvation
;
in
which
condition
although
he
neither
had
,
nor
could
have
any
joy
of
his
meat
,
yet
he
did
eate
against
his
appetite
,
to
deferre
the
time
of
his
damnation
so
long
as
he
might
:
thinking
that
he
must
needs
be
thrown
into
hell
,
so
soon
as
the
breath
should
depart
out
of
his
body
:
yet
the
Lord
,
who
graciously
preserved
him
all
that
while
,
not
onely
at
last
did
rid
him
out
of
all
discomfort
,
but
also
framed
him
thereby
to
such
mortification
of
life
,
as
the
like
hath
seldome
been
seen
;
in
such
sort
as
he
being
like
one
already
placed
in
heaven
,
and
dead
in
this
world
,
both
in
word
and
meditation
,
led
a
life
altogether
celestial
,
abhorring
in
his
minde
all
profane
doings

Mr.
John
Holland
a
faithfull
Minister
of
Gods
Word
,
the
day
before
his
death
calling
for
a
Bible
,
continued
his
meditation
,
and
exposition
upon
the
8.
to
the
Rom.
for
the
space
of
two
hours
;
but
on
a
sudden
he
said
,
O
stay
your
reading
,
what
brightnesse
is
this
I
see
?
have
you
light
up
any
candles
?
A
stander
by
said
,
No
,
it
is
the
Sun-shine
(
for
it
was
about
five
a
clock
in
a
clear
Summers
evening
:
)
Sun-shine
?
saith
he
,
Nay
,
it
is
my
Saviours-shine
:
now
farewell
world
:
welcome
heaven
:
the
day-star
from
on
high
hath
visited
my
heart
:
O
speak
it
when
I
am
gone
,
and
preach
it
at
my
Funeral
:
God
dealeth
familiarly
with
man
,
I
feele
his
mercy
,
I
see
his
Majesty
,
whether
in
the
body
or
out
of
the
body
I
cannot
tell
,
God
he
knoweth
:
But
I
see
things
that
are
unutterable
.
And
being
thus
ravished
in
his
spirit
,
he
roamed
towards
heaven
,
with
a
chearful
look
,
and
soft
sweet
voice
;
but
what
he
said
was
not
understood
:
with
the
Sunne
in
the
morning
following
,
raising
himself
,
as
Jacob
did
upon
his
staffe
,
he
shut
up
his
blessed
life
with
these
blessed
words
:
O
what
an
happy
change
shall
I
make
from
night
to
day
,
from
darknesse
to
light
,
from
death
to
life
,
from
sorrow
to
solace
,
from
a
factious
world
,
to
an
heavenly
being
?
Oh
my
dear
brethren
,
sisters
and
friends
!
it
pitieth
me
to
leave
you
behinde
:
yet
remember
my
death
when
I
am
gone
,
and
what
I
now
feele
,
I
hope
you
shall
feele
ere
you
die
,
that
God
doth
,
and
will
deale
familiarly
with
men
;
and
now
thou
fiery
Chariot
,
that
cam'st
down
to
fetch
up
Elijah
,
carry
me
to
my
happy
hold
:
and
all
you
blessed
Angels
that
attended
the
soul
of
Lazarus
to
bring
it
to
Heaven
,
bear
me
,
Oh
bear
me
into
the
bosome
of
my
best
beloved

who
had
the
Devill
,
the
Popes

the
Emperour
,
and
almost
all
the
Christian
World
against
him
;
both
by
open
force
,
and
secret
fraud
,
seeking
his
destruction
;
yet
the
Lord
miraculously
preserved
him
for
the
space
of
about
thirty
years
,
in
despite
of
them
all
:
and
at
last
he
died
in
peace
in
his
bed
;
at
which
time
he
made
this
heavenly
Prayer
;
My
heavenly
Father
,
Eternall
,
and
Mercifull
God
,
thou
hast
manifested
unto
me
thy
deare
Son
,
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
:
I
have
taught
him
,
I
have
known
him
,
I
love
him
as
my
Life
,
my
health
,
and
my
Redemption
;
whom
the
wicked
have
injured
,
persecuted
,
maligned
,
and
afflicted
:
Draw
my
soule
unto
thee
;
for
though
I
must
lay
down
this
frail
body
,
yet
I
certainly
know
that
I
shall
live
with
thee
eternally
,
and
that
I
cannot
be
taken
out
of
thy
hands
.
I
commend
my
spirit
into
thy
hands
,
thou
hast
redeem'd
it
,
O
Lord
God
of
truth
;
God
so
loved
the
World
,
that
he
gave
his
only
begotten
Son
,
that
all
that
believe
in
him
should
have
life
everlasting
;
which
he
repeated
thrice
;
and
so
as
one
falling
asleep
without
any
bodily
pain
that
could
be
discerned
,
he
departed
this
life
,

Mr.

upon

death-bed
speaking
to

Children

told
them

That

verily
believed
that

durst
thinke
to
meet
him
at
the
great
Tribunall
in
an
unregenerate
state

and
to
some
of

,
desiring
him
,
that
as
he
had
by
his
doctrine
discovered
unto
them
the
exceeding
comforts
that
were
in
Christ
;
so
he
would
now
tell
them
what
he
felt
in

soul
:
he
answered
,
To
give
you

though
I
want

to
speake

I
am
by
the
wonderfull
mercies
of

as
full

nothing

nourished
it

Examples

GOds
faithfull
Ministers
,
as
they

set
up
by
God
in
a
speciall
manner
to
oppose
and
beat
down
the
kingdome
of
sinne
,
and
Satan
:
so
usually
they
are
singled
out
by
the
Devill
and
his
instruments
,
as
the
principall
Buts
against
which
the
invenomed
Arrowes
of
their
malicious
hearts
are
most
directed
:
and
therefore
not
onely
Serpentine
wisdome
,
and
Dove-like
innocency
is
necessary
for
them
above
others
:
but
also
courage
and
magnanimitie
,
not
to
feare
the
faces
of
men
:
Sanctity
and
holinesse

without
which
all
their

a

,
and

all
poyson
:
And
lastly
,
diligence
and
indefatigablenesse
in
that
work
which
God
imployes
them
about
,
who
puts
no
difference
between
nequam
and
nequaquam

an
idle

and

Which
things
that

stirred
up

let
them
diligently
observe
these

Mr.
William
Perkins
borne
at
Marston
nigh
Coventry
in
Warwick-shire
was
a
painfull
,
and
powerfull
Preacher
in
Cambridge
;
whose
Sermons
were
not
so
plaine
,
but
the
piously
learned
did
admire
them
;
nor
so
learned
,
but
the
plaine
did
understand
them
:
He
would
pronounce
the
word
Damne
with
such
an
emphasis
as
left
a
dolefull
echo
in
his
auditors
ear
esa
good
while
after
:
He
had
a
rare
felicity
in
speedy
reading
of
books
,
and
as
it
were
,
but
turning
them
over
would
give
an
exact
account
of
all
considerables
therein
:
besides
his
frequent
preaching
,
he
wrote
many
bookes
:
and
though
lame

his
right
hand
,
yet
this
Ehud

Melancthon
was
wont
to
say
,
that
none
underwent
such
paines
as
Preachers
,
Rulers
,
and
women
in
travell
:

said
,
that

Holy
Melancthon
being
himselfe
newly
converted
,
thought
it
impossible
for
his
hearers
to
withstand
the
evidence
of
the
Gospel
:
but
after
he
had
been
a
Preacher
a
while
,
he
complained
,
that
old
Adam
was
too
hard
for
young
Melancthon

Bolton

his

was
advised
by
his
Physitians
,
for
his
healths-sake
,
to
break
off
the
strong
intentions
of
his
studies
:
but
he
rejected
their
counsell
,
accounting
it
greater
riches
to
enjoy
Christ
by
those
servent
intentions
of
his
minde
,

when

done

he
paused
a

looking

sad
:
and
being
asked
the
reason
,
he
said
;
Surely
I
have
done
amisse
in
drinking
in
that
place
where
the
Word
of

being

was
rejected

that

French
Hist.
St.

an
History
of
a
young
man
,
under

of
the
first
persecutions
,
of
most
invincible
courage
▪
and
constancy
,
against
whom
the
adversaries
had
very
little
hope
of
prevailing
by
tortures
and
torments
,
and
therefore
they
took
another
course
with
him
:
They
brought
him
into
a
most
fragrant
Garden
,
flowing
with
all
pleasure
and
delight
;
there
they
laid
him
upon
a
bed
of
downe
,
softly
enwrapped
in
a
net
of
silke
amongst
the
Lillies
,
and
the
Roses
,
the
delicious
murmur
of
the
streames
,
and
the
sweet
whistling
of
the
leaves
,
and
then
all
departed
:
presently
in
comes
a
beautifull
strumpet
,
and
useth
all
the
abominable
tricks
of
her
impure
Art
,
and
whorish
villanies
to
draw
him
to
her
desire
,
whereupon
the
young
man
fearing
that
he
should
now
beconquered
by
folly
,
who
was
conqueror
over
fury
,
bites
off
a
peece
of
his
tongue
with
his
own
teeth
,
and
spits
it
into
the
face
of
the
whore
,

so
prevented

of

was
asked
the

Saint

relates
a
story
of
40.
Martyrs
who
being
cast
out
naked
all
night
in
the
winter
,
and
were
to
be
burned
the
next
day
,
they
comforted
themselves
on
this
wise
,
Sharp
is
the
winter
,
but
sweet
is
Paradise
:
painfull
is
the
frost
,
but
joyfull
the
fruition
that
followeth
it
;
waite
but
a
while
and
the
Patriarchs
bosome
shall
cherish
us
:
After
one
night
we
shall
lay
hold
upon
eternall
life
:
Let
our
feet
feel
the
fire
for
a
season
,
that
we
may
for
ever
walk
arme
in
arme
with
the

:
Let
our
hands
fall
off
,
that
they
may
for
ever
be
lifted
up

praise
the
Almighty

A
godly
Christian
being
tormented
by
Infidels
with

paines

ignominious
taunts

they
demanded
of
him
by
way
of
scorne
:
Tell
us
what
miracles
thy
Christ
hath
done
?
to
whom
he
answered
,
Even
this
that
you
see
,
that
I
am
not
moved
with
all
the
cruelties
,
and
contumelies
that

,
having
in
Egypt
abolished
their
heathenish
sacrifices

worship
upon
paine
of
confiscation
and
death
:
the
people
fearing
that
the
omission
of
their
accustomed
superstitions
,
would
make
the
river
Nilus
(
which
they
honoured
as
a
God
)
keep
in
his
streames
,
and
not
water
their
Land
as
formerly
,
began
to
mutiny
:
whereupon
the
President
wrote
to
the
Emperour
,
beseeching
him
for
once
to
gratifie
the
people
by
conniving
at
their
superstition
:
to
whom
he
heroically
answered
:
that
it
was
better
to
continue
faithfull
,
and
constant
to
God
,
then
to
preferre
the
overflowing
of
Nilus
,
and
the
fertility
of
the
earth
before
piety
and
godlinesse
:
and
that
he
had
rather
Nilus
should
never
overflow
,
then
that
they
should
raise
it
by
sacrifices
and
inchantments

Saint
Basil
being
sent
to
by
the
Emperor
to
subscribe
to
the
Arian
heresie
,
the
messenger
at
first
gave
him
good
language
,
and
promised
him
great
preferment
if
he
would
turne
Arian
;
to
whom
he
answered
:
Alas
Sir
,
these
speeches
are
fit
to
catch
little
children
withall
that
look
after
such
things
:
but
we
that
are
nourished
and
taught
by
the
holy
Scriptures
,
are
readier
to
suffer
a
thousand
deaths
,
then
to
suffer
one
syllable
,
or
tittle
of
the
Scripture
to
be
altered
:
The
messenger
offended
with
his
boldnesse
,
told
him
that
he
was
mad
:
to
whom
he
replied
,
Opto
me
in
aeternum
sic
delirare
:
I
wish
I
were
for
ever
thus
mad
.

Melancthon
being
much
disquieted
in
spirit
by
reason
of
the
great
opposition
which
the
German
reformation
met
with
,
Luther
thus
encourageth
him
:
Seeing
the
businesse
is
not
mans
,
but
Almighty
Gods
,
laying
aside
all
care
,
you
should
cast
the
whole
weight
of
it
upon
him
:
why
do
you
vex
your self
?
If
God
hath
bestowed
his
Sonne
upon
us
,
why
are
we
afraid
?
what
tremble
we
at
?
why
are
we
distracted
and
sadded
?
Is
Satan
stronger
then
he
?
why
fear
we
the
world
which
Christ
hath
conquered
?
If
we
defend
an
evil
cause
,
why
do
we
not
change
our
purpose
?
If
the
cause
be
holy
and
just
,
why
do
we
not
trust
Gods
promises
?
Certainly
there
is
nothing
besides
our
lives
that
Satan
can
snatch
from
us
,
and
though
we
die
,
yet
Christ
lives
,
and
reignes
for
ever
to
defend
his
own
cause

like
himself
,
a
man
of
an
invincible
spirit

Tyrants

saith
thus
:
In

couragiously

as
it

,
with
the
wings
of
faith
outsoare
the
height
of

He
should
be
like

that
he
feared
nothing

more
then

and
that
if
on

he
should
see
corporally
the
horrour
of
sin
,
and
on
the
other
the
paines

must
necessarily
be
plunged
into

would
chuse
hell

rather

Mr.
Woodman
,
Martyr

speaks
thus
of
himself
:
When
I
have
been
in
prison
wearing
bolts
and
shackles
,
sometimes
lying
upon
the
bare
ground
,
sometimes
sitting
in
the
stocks
,
sometimes
bound
with
cords
that
all
my
body
hath
been
swolne
,
like
to
be
overcome
with
paine
:
sometimes
faine
to
lie
without
in
the
woods
,
and
fields
,
wandring
to
and
fro
:
sometimes
brought
before
the
Justices
,
Sheriffes

sometimes
called
Dog

Devil
,
Heretick

yea
,
and
they
that
did
eat
of
my
bread
,
and
should
have
been
most
my
friends
by
nature
have
betrayed
me
;
yet
for
all
this
I
praise
my
Lord
God
,
that
hath
separated
me
from
my
mothers
wombe
:
all
this
that
hath
happened
to
me
,
hath
been
easie

joyful
of

I
possessed

There
were
five
Monks
that
were
studying
to
finde
out
the
best
means
to
mortifie
sinne
:
One
said
that
it
was
to
meditate
on
death
:
The
second
to
meditate
on
judgement
:
The
third
to
meditate
on
the
joyes
of
heaven
:
The
fourth
to
meditate
on
the
torments
of
hell
:
The
fifth
to
meditate
on
the
love
,
and
sufferings
of
Christ
,
which
indeed
is
the
strongest
motive
of
all
.
Hormisdas
a
Noble
man
of
Persia
,
famous
for
Piety
,
was
deposed
from
all
his
honours
,
and
offices
,
because
he
would
not
forsake
Christ
,
and
his
truth
:
yet
at
last
was
by
the
King
restored
to
them
again
,
yet
withall
was
required
to
renounce
his
profession
of
Christianity
;
to
which
he
bravely
answered
,
Si
propter
ista
me
denegaturum
Christum
putas
,
ista
denuo
accipe

If
you
think
that
I
will
deny

take
them
all
again

Julian
the
Apostate
(
that
subtil
enemy
of
the
Church

when
his
Army
was
to
be
paid
,
caused
an
Altar
to
be
set
by
him
and
a
table
with
incense
on
it
,
requiring
every
souldier
as
he
came
to
receive
his
pay
,
to
cast
some
incense
into
the
fire
upon
the
Altar
;
which
many
of
the
Christians
(
understanding
it
to
be
interpretive
,
and
implicit
Idolatry
)
refused
to
do
,
rather
choosing
to
lose
their
wages
:
whilest
others
not
knowing
the
depth
of
this
mystery
of
iniquity
,
and
suspecting
no
hurt
,
did
it
,
and
so
defiled
their
consciences
;
which
afterwards
filled
them
with
such
extreame
grief
,
and
horror
,
that
they
offered
to
expiate
their
sin
with
their
blood
.
Theod.
I
say
unto
you
,
my
friends
,
Be
not
afraid
of
them
that
kill
the
body
,
and
after
that
have
no
more
that
they
can
do
:
But
I
will
forewarne
you
,
whom
you
shall
feare
:
Fear
him
which
after
he
hath
killed
,
hath
power
to
cast
into
hell
:
yea

say
unto
you
,
Fear

Examples
of
Gods
judgements
upon
Persecutors
.
THere
hath
ever
been
from
the
beginnin●●n
inveterate
antipathy
between
Satan
and
his
instruments
,
and
the
children
of
God
:
whence
it
is
that
wicked
men
being
more
for
number
,
and
stronger
in
power
then
Christs
flock
;
have
watched
all
opportunities
to
be
pushing
and
goaring
of
them
,
yea
solacing
,
and
pleasing
themselves
in
the
others
sufferings
:
So
that
if
Christ
,
the
great
Shepherd
of
his
sheepe
,
should
not
cut
short
,
or
break
off
the
hornes
of
the
wicked
,
there
would
be
no
living
by
them
:
yet
the
Lord
may
,
and
many
times
doth
lengthen
the
chaine
,
and
enlarge
the
power
of
such
to
do
much
mischief
,
though
not
to
the
ruine
,
and
subversion
of
the
Church
,
yet
to
the
cutting
off
many
of
the
members
,
but
still
with
this
promise
,
that
when
he
hath
accomplished
all
his
work
upon
mount
Sion
,
and
Jerusalem
,
he
will
then
visit
the
proud
heart
of
those
his
enemies
,
(
and
like
a
loving
and
tender
Father
)
when
he
hath
sufficiently
corrected
his
children
,
he
will
burne
the
rod
in
the
fire
:
so
that
all
shall
say
,
Verily
,
there
is
a
God
that
judgeth
in
the
earth
.
The
truth
where
of
will
manifestly
appear
in
these
examples

thereof
to
runne
with
their
blood

being
smitten
by

he
went
thitherward

began
to
relent

vowed
that
if
he
recovered
,
he
would
do
many

great
things
for

that

go
through

declare
the
power

the

knowing
his
hypocrisie

still
continued
his
disease

was

intolerable

rotted

thereof

no

could
endure
to
come

Dioclesian
the
authour
of
the
tenth
Persecution
went
more
subtilly
to
work
!
For
first
,
he
used
all
politick
ways
to
make
the
Christians
in
his
Army
renounce
their
Faith
;
Thén
by
Proclamation
commanded
their
Churches
to
be
beaten
down
;
their
Bibles
to
be
burnt
;
and
torne
in
pieces
:
that
all
Christians
which
bore
any
office
should
be
deposed
:
that
bondmen
who
would
forsake
their
profession
should
be
made
free
:
But
when
after
all
his
subtilty
,
and
cruelty
he
saw
that
the
number
of
Christians
still
encreased
,
being
satiated
with
blood
he
gave
up
the
Empire
:
After
which
he
was
tormented
with
divers
and
strange
diseases
:
had
his
house
burnt
down
by
lightning
and
was
himself
so
frighted
with
thunder
that
he
fell
mad

klled
himself

were
met
together
in

on

burned
with
all
that
were

in

of
Christians
after
a
long
siege
he
caused
to
be
burnt

therein
:
But
God
shortly
after
struck
him
with
a
grievous
disease
:
Vermine
bred
abundantly
in
his
body
,
with
such
an
horrible
stinke
,
that
being
not
able

endure
it
,
he
hanged
himself

Maximinus
that

Persecutor

For
which
God
struck
him
with
an
un●outh
disease
:
In
his
privy
members
there
grew
a
sudden
putrefaction
,
and
in
the
bottome
of
the

a
botchy
corrupt
Bile
,
with
a
Fistula
consuming
,
and
eating
up
his
intrals
,
out
of
which
came
swarming
an
innumerable
company
of
lice
,
with
such
a
pestiferous
stinke
that
no
man
could
abide
him
:
And
being
a
fat
man
,
all
his
fat
so
putrified
,
and
stanke
so
horribly
,
that
some
of
his
Physicians
not
being
able
to
endure
it
were
commanded
to
be
slaine
,
others
were
cruelly
put
to
death
because
they
could
not
cure
him
:
But
at
last
being
told
that
this
was
Gods
just
vengeance
upon
him
for
destroying
the
Christians
:
he
seemed
to
repent
,
and
commanded
the
persecution
to
cease
;
and
thereupon
it
pleased
God
to
free
him
from
his
disease
:
But
about
six
moneths
after
he
sent
forth
a
new
Proclamation
for
the
utter
rooting
out
of
the
name
of
Christians
:
whereupon
his
disease
returned
again
,
and
assaulted
him
in
great
extremity
,
so
that
his
body
being
all
rotten
,
full
of
corruption

he
died

Examples

THat
Rome

Babylon

the
Pope
Antichrist
,
are
things
now
so
evident

notorious

that
few
question
it

but
that
so
many
thousands
which
live
under
the
Romish
jurisdiction
should
abide
in
so
grosse
ignorance
,
as
to
continue
courting
that
old
,
and
withered
strumpet
,
may
justly
seeme
a
marvell
,
were
it
not
that
the
common
people
are
kept
in
such
miserable
ignorance
,
being
deprived
of
the
soul-enlightning
Word
of
God
,
and
enjoyned
to
pin
their
faith
on
the
Priests
sleeve
:
And
the
more
knowing
sort
of
them
are
by
Gods
just

which
prophecie
as
it
is
in
many
other
things
fulfilled
,
so
especially
in
these
prodigious
blasphemies
which
are
not
onely
published
,
but
believed
,
and
entertained
with
great
applause
among
them
:
Many
instances
might
be
given
,
but
take
one
onely
in
stead
of
all
,
wherein
they
affirme
that
Christ
imprinted
his
five
wounds
upon
Francis
of
Assise
the
Freir
,
as
if
he
also
were
to
suffer
for
the
world

the
Jesuite
made
these
Verses
:
Exue

Qui

Strip

all
nak't

and
you
shall
see
He

even
now
St.

Again
put
Francis
coat

cowle
on

and
(
marke

He
that
even
now
Christ
Jesus

Francis

cloathing
her self
in
mans
apparel

and
attaining
to
learning
,
procured
to
be
chosen
Pope
under
the
name
of
John
the
eighth

who
afterwards
playing
the
whore
,
fell
in
travel
in
the
time
of
a
solemne
procession
,
and
died
thereof
:
since
which
time
the
Cardinals
shun
that
place
in
all
their
processions

Pope
Stephen
the
sixth
so
envied
the

dissolved
all
his
decrees
,
caused
his
body
to
be
taken
up
,
cutting
off
two
fingers
of
his
right
hand

Pope
John

a
whoremaster

an
adulterer

incestuous

a
gamester
,
and
extortioner
:
Of
some
of
his
Cardinals
he
put
out
their
eyes
,
from
some
he
cut
out
their
tongues
,
some
their
fingers
,
some
their
noses
,
and
privy
members

He
ordained
Deacons
in
a

He
enquiring
of
the
devil
how
long
he
should
live
?
was
answered
,
Till
he
should
say
Masse
in
Jerusalem

In
the
Lent
after
as
he
was
saying
Masse
in
the
Chappell
of
Saint
Crosse
,
he
suddenly
fell
sick
and
remembering
that
that
Chappel
was
called
Jerusalem
,
he
perceived
how
he
was
cousened
by
the
devil
:
He
commanded
his
Cardinals
that
after
his
death
they
should
cut
his
body
in
peeces
,
and
so
bury
him
,
having
before
bequeathed
his
soul
to
the
devil

woods
after
an
horrible

by
magical
Art

of
the
Emperour

a

It

Whether

This

so
soon

peremptorily
resolved

an
ill-fauoured
hooting

and
set
her self
upon
a
crosse
beam
just
over
against
the
Pope
,
casting
her
staring
eyes
upon
him
:
whereupon
the
whole
company
began
to
marvel

whispering
each
to
other
,
said
,
Behold

the
Spirit
is
come

The
Pope
himself
blushed
at
the
matter

to
sweat

fret

and
fume
,
and
so
being
in
great
distraction
dissolved
the
Councel
for
the
present
;
yet
afterwards
calling
another
Sessions
,
when
they
were
met
,
in
came
the
Owle
as
before
,
still
looking
steadfastly
upon
the
Pope
;
whereupon
he
was
more
ashamed
,
saying
,
that
he
could
no
longer
abide
the
sight
of
her

commanded
her
to
be

It
's
recorded
of
Julius
Caesar
that
in
his
warres
he
slew
eleven
hundred
ninty
and
two
thousand
men
,
and
at
last
was
himself
slaine
by
his
seeming
friends
in
the
Senate-house
.
Plin.
Gains
Caligula
the
fourth
Emperour
of
Rome
was
of
a
most
bloody
,
and
cruel
disposition
;
he
caused
Tiberius
,
who
was
made
coheire
with
him
,
to
be
murthered
.
He
caused
Syllanus
his
wives
father
to
murther
himself
:
He
caused
divers
of
the
Senators
to
be
privily
murthered
,
and
then
gave
it
out
that
they
had
murthered
themselves
:
many
other
noble
men
he
stigmatized
&
then
condemned
them
to
the
mettal-mines
,
or
to
mending
the
high-wayes
,
or
to
the
wilde
beasts
:
Some
he
sawed
a
sunder
in
the
middest
.
He
forced
parents
to
be
present
at
the
torments
of
their
children
:
and
whereas
one
excused
himself
by
reason
of
sicknesse
,
he
sent
his
horse-litter
for
him
:
Another
asking
whether
he
might
not
wink
?
for
that
he
caused
him
to
be
slaine
.
Another
whom
he
forced
to
be
present
at
the
torments
of
his
children
,
he
presently
took
him
home
with
him
to
a
feast
,
and
forced
him
to
be
merry
.
When
he
wanted
condemned
persons
to
feed
his
beasts
,
he
would
cause
some
of
the
innocent
spectators
to
have
their
tongues
cut
out
,
that
they
might
not
complaine
,
and
so
to
be
throwne
to
the
beasts
.
When
he
distasted
any
of
the
Senatours
,
he
would
suborne
some
to
come
into
the
Courts
,
and
to
declare
them
publick
enemies
to
the
State
,
and
presently
to
murther
them
,
yet
was
he
not
satisfied
till
he
saw
them
torne
peece-meale
,
and
their
bowels
dragged
along
the
streets
.
He
used
to
say
that
he
commended
nothing
more
in
his
nature
then
his
impudence
.
He
would
not
have
men
presently
to
be
killed
,
but
used
to
say
to
his
executioners
,
Ita
percute
,
ut
mori
se
sentiat
:
So
strike
,
that
he
may
feel
himself
to
die
.
Being
angry
with
the
people
for
coming
slowly
to
his
sports
,
he
wished
,
Vtinam
Populus
Romanus
unam
cervicem
haberet
!
Would
al
the
people
of
Rome
had
but
one
neck
!
He
used
to
complaine
of
his
times
that
they
were

poured
the

upon

though

thirsty

saying
,
If
I
alone
should
drink
it
would
make

accordingly
they
seeing

encouraged
themselves
by

The
odiousnesse
of
this
sinne
will
farther
appear
in

examples
following

M.
Livius
having
prodigally
wasted
a
great
estate
,
jested
at
his
own
folly
,
saying
,
That
he
had
left
nothing
for
his
heire
,
praeter
Coelum
,
&
Caenum
,
more
then
aire
and
mire
.
Vitellius
the
Romane
Emperour
was
addicted
to
such
unmeasurable
Gluttony
,
that
the
whole
employment
of
his
Captaines
was
to
provide
him
Cates
:
He
had
two
thousand
dishes
of
Fish
,
and
seven
thousand
of
Fowle
at
one
Supper
;
and
yet
commended
his
own
temperance
in
a
set
Oration
before
the
Senate
,
and
people
of
Rome
.
In
a
few
moneths
wherein
he
reigned
,
he
wasted
seven
millions
,
which
was
thirty
one
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
pounds
sterling
in
Luxury
.
Heliogabulus
the
Romane
Emperour
,
did
so
excell
in
all
Luxury
,
that
near
the
Sea
,
he
would
eat
no
fish
;
in
the
Midland
,
no
flesh
:
whole
meals
were
made
of
the
tongues
of
singing
Birds
,
and
Peacocks
,
or
of
the
braines
of
costly
Creatures
.
He
used
to
say
,
That
that
meat
was
not
savoury
,
whose
sauce
was
not
costly
.
He
gathered
in
Rome
ten
thousand
weight
of
Spiders
,
that
thereby
he
might
glory
of
the
greatnesse
of
that
City
.
His
apparel
was
most
rich
,
and
yet
never
twice
worne
;
his
shoes
embellished
with
Pearls
and
Diamonds
;
his
seats
strewed
with
Musk
and
Amber
;
his
bed
covered
with
Gold
and
Silver
,
and
beset
with
Pearls
,
and
his
way
strawed
with
pouder
thereof
:
Caius
Caligula
the
Romane
Emperour
was
so
prodigal
,
that
he
spent
an
hundred
millions
within
the
space
of
three
yeares
:
and
so
brutish
,
that
he
defloured
three
of
his
sisters
,
and
one
of
their
daughters
:
and
so
cruel
,
that
he
wished
all
the
people
of
Rome
had
but
one
neck
,
that
he
might
cut
it
off
at
one
blow
.
Dio.
Cleopatra
Queen
of
Egypt
so
excelled
in
Prodigality
,
that
being
at
a
Banquet
with
M.
Antony
,
she
dissolved
a
pearl
worth
fifty
thousand
pounds
,
in
Vineger
,
and
drank
it
at
a
draught
;
and
one
dish
in
the
second
course
was
valued
at
two
hundred
and
fifty
pieces
of
gold
.
Urs.
Maximinus
the
Romane
Emperour
was
eight
foot
high
,
his
body
great
,
and
joynts
proportionable
;
and
according
to
his
limbs
,
so
was
his
diet
;
for
he
daily
devoured
fourty
pounds
of
flesh
,
and
drank
thereto
six
gallons
of
wine
.
When
he
besieged
Aquileia
in
Italy
,
the
Citizens
wives
cut
off
the
hair
of
their
heads
,
to
make
bowe-strings
for
resistance
of
this
Tyrant
.
After
Alexander
M.
had
overcome
Darius
,
and
gotten
possession
of
all
his
Dominions
,
and
riches
,
he
began
to
degenerate
into
the
Asian
Luxury
:
His
chastity
,
and
moderation
were
turned
into
pride
and
lust
.
He
esteemed
his
countrey-manners
,
and
the
discipline
of
the
former
Macedonian
Kings
,
too
light
and
mean
for
him
.
He
imitated
the
pride
of
the
Persian
Kings
:
He
made
him
a
Crown
,
and
robes
like
unto
Darius
:
He
grew
so
proud
,
and
insolent
that
he
suffered
his
Macedonians
to
fall
down
and
worship
him
like
a
god
:
Yea
he
commanded
his
servants
,
and
slaves
to
do
so
.
He
clothed
his
Captaines
and
horse-men
after
the
Persian
manner
,
which
though
they
disliked
,
yet
they
durst
not
refuse
.
He
gat
him
three
hundred
sixty
five
concubines
,
of
the
beautifullest
Virgins
that
could
be
found
in
Asia
,
after
the
manner
of
the
Persian
Kings
:
of
these
he
had
one
that
lay
with
him
every
night
:
He
had
his
troop
of
Eunuchs
.
He
spent
dayes
,
and
nights
in
profuse
feasting
,
and
revelling
.
He
gat
many
Musicians
,
Jesters
,
Singing
women
,
&c.
All
which
was
very
offensive
to
his
old
Captains
,
and
Souldiers
.

Cleopatra
being
very
young

was
with

brother
Ptolomaeus
King
of

besieged
in

by

:
After

caused

to
binde
her
up
in
cloaths
like

so
carried

into

sends
for

to
plead
her
cause

for
assisting

with
money

She
attires
her self
after

costliest
manner
that
could
be

and
upon
the
River
Cydnus
enters

all

sat

thither

but
she
goes
straight
to
her
Inne

all
the
people
left

to
gaze
upon

:
So
that
being
left
alone

he
returnes
to
his
quarters
,

sends
to
invite
her
to
supper
:
She
refuses

could
no

forbear

goes

there
noting
those
that
were

of
flesh

would

filthinesse
with

:
She
prefered

In
France
there
was
one
Fredegundis
,
a
famous
whore
,
who
for
her
beauty
was
entertained
by
Chilperic
King
of
France
,
whom
she
caused
to
banish
his
Queen
Andovera
,
and
his
other
wife
called
Galsuinda
she
caused
to
be
murthered
,
that
she
might
enjoy
the
King
alone
;
yet
neither
was
she
faithful
to
him
,
but
prostituted
her
body
to
Landric
,
Master
of

Kings
horse
.
On
a
time
the
King
being
to
go
a
hunting
,
went
to
bid
his
wife
farewell
,
who
was
combing
her
haire
:
The
King
went
softly
behinde
her
,
and
with
his
wand
in
sport
struck
her
behinde
:
She
thinking
it
had
been
her
Landric
,
said
:
What
doest
thou
do
,
my
Landric
?
It
's
the
part
of
a
good
Knight
to
charge
a
Lady
before
,
and
not
behinde
:
The
King
by
this
means
finding
her
falshood
,
went
his
wayes
on
hunting
,
and
she
finding
her self
discovered
,
sent
for
Landric
:
told
him
what
was
happened
,
and
therefore
perswaded
him
to
kill
the
King
for
his
,
and
her
safety
:
which
he
undertook
,
and
effected
that
night
as
the

came

Plut.
Artaxerxes
Mnemon
King
of
Persia
going
his
progresse
,
the
people
used
to
present
him
with
several
gifts
in
the
way
,
and
amongst
the
rest
a
country
man
having
nothing
else
to
present
him
with
,
ran
to
the
river
,
and
taking
up
his
hands
full
of
water
,
presented
him
with
that
:
Artaxerxes
was
so
taken
herewith
,
that
he
gave
the
fellow
a
golden
platter
,
and
a
thousand
pieces
of

Plut.
Alexander
M.
was
of
such
a
bountiful
disposition
,
that
it
was
a
greater
trouble
to
him
not
to
be
asked
then
to
give
.
He
wrote
to
Phocion
that
he
would
make
use
of
his
friendship
no
more
,
is
he
refused
his
gifts
:
Serapion
a
young
man
that
used
to
play
at
ball
with
him
,
received
nothing
,
because
he
asked
nothing
;
whereupon
the
next
time
he
threw
the
ball
to
all
but
Alexander
:
the
King
marvelling
at
it
asked
him
,
why
he
threw
not
the
ball
to
him
?
Forsooth
,
saith
Serapion
,
because
you
asked
it
not
:
Alexander
laughing
at
the
jest
,
sent
him
a
liberal
gift
.
His
mother
Olympias
often
reproved
him
,
because
he
gave
away
such
great
riches
amongst
his
friends
:
Q.
Curtius
.
When
Alexander
M
was
a
boy
,
he
took
both
his
handfulls
of
perfumes
,
and
cast
them
into
the
fire
when
he
was
offering
sacrifice
,
whereupon
Leonidas
his
Schoolmaster
said
to
him
,
O
Alexander
when
thou
hast
conquered
those
countreys
where
these
Odours
grow
,
then
thou
mayest
be
so
liberal
;
but
in
the
mean
time
be
more
sparing
:
Afterwards
when
he
had
conquered
Arabia
Foelix
,
he
sent
to
Leonidas
an
hundred
Talents
of
Myrrhe
,
and
five
hundred
of
Frankincense
,
bidding
him
hereafter
to
be
more
liberall
in
his
service
to
the
gods
.
Q.
Cur.
Alexander
M.
having
overcome
Darius
,
he
marched
to
Persepolis
,
and
when
he
came
neer
to
it
,
there
met
him
a
miserable
company
of
neere
four
thousand
captive
Greeks
,
wofully
mangled
by
the
Persians
,
some
having
their
legs
cut
off
,
some
their
hands
,
some
their
eares
,
and
all
branded
with
some
letters
:
they
seemed
rather
carcases
then
men
,
so
that
this
wofull
object
drew
teares
from
all
his
Army
,
and
from
Alexander
himself
;
but
to
comfort
them
in
their
misery
,
he
gave
to
each
of
them
three
thousand
pence
,
or
three
hundred
crownes
,
ten
change
of
garments
,
with
corn
,
cattel
,
and
land
to
build

Q.
Cur.
Alexander
M.
going
to
conquer
a
Kingdome
in
India
,
Taxilis
King
thereof
came
and
met
him
,
saying
,
O
Alexander
,
what
need
we
fight
,
if
thou
comest
not
to
take
away
our
food
,
and
water
,
for
which
it's
only
fit
for
wise
men
to
fight
?
If
thou
comest
for
riches
,
if
I
have
more
then
thou
,
I
will
give
thee
part
of
mine
;
if
thou
hast
more
then
I
,
I
will
not
refuse
to
receive
part
of
thine
.
Alexander
being
much
taken
with
this
speech
,
said
to
him
,
Go
to
,
I
will
contend
with
thee
in
bounty
,
and
so
they
mutually
gave
and
received
many
gifts
;
at
last
Alexander
gave
him
a
thousand
Talents
,
which
grieved
his
friends
,
and
pleased
the
Barbarians
very
much
.
Plut.
One
craving
a
small
courtesie
of
Alexander
the
Great
,
he
gave
him
an
whole
City
,
and
when
the
poor
man
said
that
it
was
too
much
for
him
to
receive
,
Yea
(
said
Alexander
)
but
not
for
me
to
give
:
So
God
gives
liberally
like
himself
.
He
that
sowes

shall
reap
sparingly
,
and
he
that
sowes
bountifully
shall
reap
bountifully

History
.
Julius
Caesar
was
of
such
a
covetous
disposition
,
that
making
Warre
in
Spaine
he
picked
quarrels
with
divers
rich
Cities
that
he
might
plunder
them
:
He
brake
also
into
the
Temples
of
the
gods
,
and
robbed
them
of
their
rich
gifts
which
had
been
bestowed
upon
them
.
In
his
first
Consulship
he
robbed
the
Capitol
of
three
thousand
pound
weight
of
gold
.
In
his
own
,
and
Pompey's
name
he
took
six
thousand
Talents
from
Ptolemy
King
of
Egypt
.

Tiberius

Lentulus

a

had
in
his

he
sent

killed
him
,
that
so
he
might
have

of

Also
when
Vonorais
King
of
Parthia

being
expelled
out
of

to
him
for

,
he
seeing

Anno

at

in

there
was
a
strange
example
of
Gods
judgement
upon
a
covetous
gentleman
,
who
living
neere
the
sea
had
a
Marsh
wherein
upon
poles
Fishermen
used
to
drie
their
nets
,
for
which
he
received
of
them
yearly
a
sufficient
sum
of
money
:
But
at
length
being
not
content
with
it
,
he
caused
his
servants
to
pluck
up
the
poles
,
not
suffering
the
Fishermen
to
come
upon
his
ground
any
longer
,
except
they
would
compound
at
a
larger
rate
:
But
it
came
to
passe
the

night
,
that
the
sea
breaking
in

overwhelmed
all
his
Marsh

,
in
the
time
of
a

,
having
store
of
corne
,
and
graine
,
refused
to
help
the
poor
who
cried
unto
him
for
reliefe
,
desiring
,
and
wishing
rather
that
his
corne
might
be
eaten
up
with
Mice
and
Rats
:
Whereupon
God
in
Justice
sent
an
Army
of
Rats
and
Mice
to
assault
him
:
To
avoide
which
he
built
a
place
in

middest
of
the

(

Examples
of
Pride
,
and
Arrogance
,
Ambition
,
and
vain-glory
Many
men
when
they
grow
great
in
the
world
,
are
so
puft
up
with
pride
,
that
they
scarce
know
themselves
;
which
is
,
as
if
the
silly
Ant
the
higher
that
she
gets
upon
her
hill
,
the
bigger
she
should
conceit
her selfe
to
be
:
It
is
the
devils
last
stratagem
,
if
he
cannot
beat
us
down
to
sinne
,
he
will
labour
to
blow
us
up
with
pride
;
and
yet
there
is
nothing
that
the
Lord
doth
more
hate
,
for
he
beholds
the
proud
afar
off
,
as
if
he
were
not
fit
to
be
touched
with
a
paire
of
tongs
:
Besides
,
men
by
pride
do
but
hasten
their
own
ruine
,

Ut
lapsu
graviore
ruant

returne

wherein
I

liberally
with

it
proceeds
from
my
good
nature
,

not
to
curry
favour
with
him
:
I
would
do
what
he
desires
if
he
would
be
my
inferiour
,
but
not
if
he
would
be
my
equal
:
for
as
the

cannot
have
two
Suns

neither
can
it
containe
two

presently
obeyed

Alexander
M
in
a
drunken
feast
that
he
made
after
his
conquest
of
Persia
,
began
to
boast
of
his
great
victories
,

atchievments
to
the
distaste
of
his
own
Captaines
,
insomuch
as
one
of
them
called
Clitus
,
speaking
to
another
,
said
,
He
boasts
of
those
victories
which
were
purchased
with
other
mens
blood
:
Alexander
suspecting
that
he
spake
against
him
,
asked
what
he
said
?
and
when
all
were
silent
,
Clitus
spake
of
the
great
victories
which
Philip
his
father
had
gotten
in
Greece
,
preferring
them
before
these
:
which
so
incensed
Alexander
,
that
he
bade
him
be
gone
out
of
his
presence
:
and
when
Clitus
hastened
not
,
but
multiplied
words
,
the
King
rose
up
in
a
great
fury
,
and
snatching
a
lance
out
of
his
Squires
hand
,
therewith
he
thrust
Clitus
thorow
,

killed
him
:
This
Clitus
had
formerly
saved

,
his

had
nursed
Alexander

So
that
Alexander
when
the
heat
of
his
anger
was
over
,
was
so
enraged
against
himselfe
for
this
murther
,
that
he
was
about
with

lance
to
have
murthered
himself
,
if
he
had
not
been
violently
restrained

judgements
upon

,
and
backsliders
.
TRue
grace
is
not
like
a
slight
staine
,
but
a
durable
die
,
and
graine-colour
which
can
never
be
washed
out
:
the
gates
of
hell
cannot
prevaile
against
the
faith
of
Gods
elect
:
so
that
though
they
may
lose
the
lustre
of
their
graces
,
yet
not
the
graces
themselves
,
but
a
see
will
still
remaine
in
them
:
The
reason
then
why
some
glorious
professors
do
fall
like
starres
from
heaven
,
is
,
because
they
were
never
fixed
in
the
true
Orbe
:
They
had
a
name
only
that
they
lived
,
but
were
dead

suddenly
a

killed

A
Smith
in
King
Edward
the
sixths
dayes
called
Richard
Denson
was
a
forward
professor
of
Religion
,
and
by
his
Christian
instructions
the
happy
instrument
of
the
conversion
of
a
young
man
to
the
faith
:
Afterwards
in
the
reigne
of
Queen
Mary
this
young
man
was
cast
into
prison
for
his
religion
,
who
remembring
his
old
friend
the
Smith
to
whom
he
alwayes
carried
a
reverend
respect
for
the
good
that
he
had
received
by
him
,
sent
to
know
whether
he
was
not
imprisoned
also
,
and
finding
that
he
was
not
,
desired
to
speak
with
him
,
and
when
he
came
asked
his
advice
whether
he
thought
it
comfortable
for
him
to
remaine
in
prison
,
and
whether
he
would
encourage
him
to
burne
at
a
stake
for
his
religion
?
To
whom
the
Smith
answered
that
his
cause
was
good
,
and
he
might
with
comfort
suffer
for
it
:
But
for
my
〈◊〉
(
saith
he
)
I
cannot
burne
:
But
he
that
could
〈◊〉
burne
for
religion
,
by
Gods
just
judgement
was
burned
for
his
Apostasie
:
For
shortly
after
his
shop
,
and
house
being
set
on
fire
,
whilest
over-e●gerly
be
sought
to
save
his
goods
,
himself
was
burned
.
Under
the
fourth
Persecution
there
were
some
Christians
who
for
fear
of
torments
,
and
death
,
denied
their
faith
,
and
sacrificed
to
Idols
,
yet
did
not
th●●
bloody
persecutors
spare
them
;
and
it
was
observed
that
being
full
of
guilt
,
they
went
to
their
death
〈◊〉
dejected
,
and
ill-favoured
countenan●es
;
so
●h●●
the
very
Gentiles
took
notice
of
it
,
and
reproached
them
as
degenerous
persons
,
and
worthy
to
suffer
〈…〉
doers
.

Gen.
Martyr

In
the
late
Persecution
in
Bohemia
,
a
godly
ma●…ing
tired
out
with
imprisonment
,
promised
to
〈◊〉
Catholick
,
and
thereupon
was
released
:
But
pre●…ly
after
God
chastized
him
for
this
fault
,
holding
〈◊〉
conscience
in
captivity
,
so
that
he
could
have

hope
of
mercy

One
Philbert
Hamlin
in
France
having
converted
●
Priest
to
the
profession
of
the
truth
,
was
together
with
the
Priest
apprehended
,
and
cast
into
prison
at
Burdeaux
:
But
after
a
while
the
Priest
being
terrified
with
the
prison
,
and
fear
of
death
,
renounced
Christ
,
and
was
set
at
liberty
;
whereupon
Philbert
said
to
him
:
O
unhappy
,
and
more
then
miserable
man
!
Is
it
possible
that
to
save
your
life
for
a
few
dayes
you
should
so
deny
the
truth
?
Know
therefore
that
though
you
have
avoided
the
corporal
sire
,
yet
your
life
shall
not
be
prolonged
;
for
you
shall
die
before
me
,
and
you
shall
not
have
the
honour
to
die
for
the
cause
of
God
,
but
you
shall
be
an
Example
to
all
Apostates
:
And
accordingly
as
he
went
out
of
the
prison
two
Gentlemen
that
had
a
former
quarrel
to
him
,
met
him
and
slew
him

laid
the

the

would
that

judgements

SWearing
,
Cursing

Perjury
are
such
God-provoking

sinnes

reserve
wrath
for
these

(

being

with

Army
from

into

Minor
against
Tissaphernes
the
King
of
Persiu's
Leiutenant
there
:
Tissaphernes
,
desired
to
know
the
reason
of
his
coming
,
Agesilaus
answered
,
that
it
was
to
let
the
Grecian
Cities
free
:
Tissaphernes
intreated
him
to
make
a
truce
with
him
till
he
had
sent
to
the
King
of
Persia
to
know
his
pleasure
therein
:
Agesilaus
consented
,
and
so
a
truce
was
made
,
with
solemne
oaths
on
both
sides
;
but
Tissaphernes
dealt
deceitfully
,
and
sent
to
the
King
for
a
great
Army
.
which
being
come
to
him
,
he
sent
an
Herauld
to
Agesilaus
to
command
him
presently
to
depart
out
of
Asia
.
Agesilaus
being
nothing
daunted
with
the
newes
,
returned
this
answer
,
That
he
gave
him
no
small
thanks
for
that
by
his
perjury
he
had
made
the
gods
angry
with
the
Persians
,
and
favourable
to
the
Grecians
;
and
accordingly
it
so
fell
out
,
for
coming
to

he
gave
the

a
great
overthrow

Plut.
Eumenes
being
made
General
of
an
Army
against
Antigonus
by
the
young
King
of
Macedonia
,
Alexander
M.
his
sonne
,
and
his
protectour
,
they
wrote
to
the
two
Colonells
of
the
Argyraspides
,
to
adjoyne
themselves
to
him
:
(
These
were
Alexanders
old
souldiers
,
whom
when
he
took
them
with
him
into
India
,
he
made
them
silver
shields
,
and
called
them
Argyraspides
:
)
These
Colonells
obeying
the
command
went
with
him
into
Asia
,
and
after
some
lesser
conflicts
,
the
two
armies
met
at
last
in
Media
,
where
these
silvershields
(
of
whom
none
were
under
sixty
,
and
most
of
them
were
seventy
years
old
,
)
took
in
such
scorne
that
their
sonnes
and
boyes
should
fight
against
them
,
that
they
charged
them
with
such
fury
,
that
after
the
slaughter
of
many
they
made
Antigonus
his
infantry
wholly
to
run
away
;
but
in
the
mean
time
Antigonus
his
Cavalry
,
had
routed
the
Cavalry
of
Eumenes
,
and
seizing
upon
their
carriges
,
had
driven
them
away
,
the
Silver
shields
hearing
of
it
,
sent
presently
to
Antigonus
,
desiring
him
to
restore
them
their
carriages
againe
:
who
answered
,
that
if
they
would
deliver
up
Eumenes
bound
into
his
hands
,
he
would
not
only
restore
their
carriages
,
but
greatly
preferre
them
also
:
Hereupon
most
treacherously
they
ran
upon
Eumenes
,
took
away
his
sword
,
and
bound
his
hands
behinde
him
,
so
that
he
could
scarce
get
leave
to
speake
before
they
carried
him
away
,
but
at
last
having
obtained
leave
,
he
thus
spake
:
O
my
souldiers
,
ye
see
the
habit
,
and
ornaments
of
your
General
,
not
imposed
upon
him
by
his
enemies
,
but
you
your selves
of
a
Conquerer
have
made
him
a
Captive
:
You
that
within
one
yeares
space
,
have
bound
your selves
foure
times
to
me
by
oath
,
do
now
to
redeem
your
carriages
betray
me
to
mine
enemies
,
therefore
I
desire
you
rather
to
kill
me
your selves
,
for
Antigonus
desires
not
to
have
me
living
but
dead
,
and
if
you
will
but
herein
gratifie
me
,
I
freely
absolve
you
,
from
all
the
oaths
wherewith
you
have
bound
your selves
to
me
,
or
if
you
will
not
shew
me
so
much
favour
,
then
loose
one
of
my
bands
,
and
give
me
a
sword
that
I
may
kill
my selfe
,
or
if
you
dare
not
trust
me
with
a
sword
,
cast
me
to
the
Elephants
to
be
destroyed
by
them
.
But
when
he
saw
that
they
would
gratifie
him
in
none
of
these
,
he
grew
into
a
passion
,
and
said
,
Ye
cursed
villaines
,
I
pray
the
gods
,
who
are
the
revengers
of
perjury
,
to
send
you
such
ends
as
ye
have
brought
your
Generals
unto
,
for
I
am
not
the
first
whom
you
have
thus
betrayed
,
&c.
And
so
being
delivered
to
Antigonus
,
he
was
shortly
after
murthered
by
him
:
But
withal
he
so
hated
these
perjured
Silver
shields
,
that
he
burned
one
of
their
Colonells
,
and
slew
the
other
,
the
rest
of
them
he
sent
into
remote
Countreys
,
and
put
them
upon
such
desperate
services
,
that
by
degrees
they
were
all
cut
off
,
and
never
any
one
of
them
,
returned
into
his
own
Countrey
againe
.
Plut.
King
Henry
the
first
of
England
in
the
twenty
seventh
year
of
his
reigne
,
caused
the
Bishops
,
Abbats
,
and
Nobles
to
sweare
allegiance
to
his
daughter
Maud
,
and
that
she
should
succeed
in
his
Kingdome
:
they
which
swore
,
were
first
William
Arch-bishop
of
Canterbury
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Bishops
,
and
Abbats
,
then
David
King
of
Scotland
,
Uncle
to
Maud
,
now
married
to
the
Emperesse
of
Germany
,
then
Stephen
Earle
of
Mortaigne
,
and
Bulloigne
Nephew
to
the
King
,
&c.
But
so
soon
as
King
Henry
was
dead
in
Normandy
,
Stephen
hasted
into
England
,
and
by
the
help
especially
of
the
Bishops
,
was
made
King
,
and
the
Emperesse
put
by
:
but
behold
the
revenging
hand
of
God
following
their
Perjury
:
Stephen
though
otherwise
a
gallant
Prince
,
yet
found
his
Crowne
,
to
be
but
a
glorious
misery
,
Mars
,
and
Vulcan
never
suffering
him
to
be
at
quiet
;
and
as
he
would
not
suffer
the
right
heire
to
inherit
,
so
God
would
not
suffer
him
to
have
an
heire
to
inherit
;
for
his
sonne
was
put
by
the
Crowne
,
which
was
conferred
upon
Henry
sonne
to
the
Emperesse
,
the
rightfull
heire
.
Also
William
Arch-bishop
of
Canterbury
never
prospered
after
his
perjury
,
but
died
within
that
yeare
.
Roger
Bishop
of
Salisbury
fell
into
displeasure
with
King
Stephen
,
who
took
him
prisoner
,
seized
upon
his
Castles
,
and
treasures
,
and
so
used
him
that
he
died
for
very
griefe
.
Alexander
Bishop
of
Lincolne
was
also
taken
by
the
King
,
and
led
in
a
rope
to
the
Castle
of
Newark
upon
Trent
,
the
King
swearing
that
the
Bishop
should
neither
eat
nor
drink
till
his
Castle
was
surrendered
;
so
that
there
he
gat
all
the
Bishops
treasure
:
and
as
for
Hugh
Bigot
he
also
escaped
not
long
unpunished
,
saith
Fabian
.
Rodulph
Duke
of
Sweveh
,
provoked
by
the
Pope
,
rebelled
against
his
Sovereigne
,
the
Emperour
Henry
the
fourth
,
but
in
a
battel
which
he
fought
against
him
,
he
lost
his
right
arme
,
whereof
he
shortly
after
died
:
acknowledging
Gods
justice
for
his
disloyalty
,
punishing
him
in
that
arme
,
which
before
was

up
to
sweare

the

terrified
with

became
very

poured
out
the

provoke
him
to
warre

he
undertaking

out
of

with
his

cast
up

O

behold

this

thy

in

made
with

revenge

deny

Immediately

whereupon
at

told

that

advised

,
yet
in
his

cursing
,

Beza
.
Anno
15●7
.
at
Forchenum
in
the
Bishoprick
of
Bamburg
,
a
Priest
preaching
about
the
Sacrament
,
used
these
,
and
such
like
blasphemous
speeches
:
O
Paul
,
Paul
,
if
thy
Doctrine
touching
the
receiving
of
the
Sacrament
in
both
kindes
be
true
,
and
if
it
be
a
wicked
thing
to
receive
it
otherwise
,
then
let
the
devil
take
me
:
and
if
the
Popes
Doctrine
concerning
this
point
be
false
,
then
am
I
the
devils
bondslave
,
neither
do
I
fear
to
pawn
my
soul
upon
it
:
Presently
the
devil
came
indeed
in
the
shape
of
a
tall
man
,
black
,
and
terrible
,
with
a
fearful
noise
,
and
roaring
winde
,
took
away

old
Priest
,

he
was
never

heard
of

Anno
1556.
a
certaine
man
that
earned
his
living
by
making
cleane
foule
linnen
,
in
his
drunkennesse
used
horrible
cursings
,
wishing
that
the
devil
might
break
his
neck
if
he
ever
went
to
his
old
occupation
again
,
yet
the
next
day
when
he
was
sober
,
he
went
into
the
field
again
about
it
:
where
the
devil
attended
him
in
the
likenesse
of
a
big
swarthy
man
,
asking
him
,
if
he
remembred
his
wish
,
and
withal
struck
him
over
the
shoulders
,
so
that
his
feet
,
and
hands
presently
dried
,
yet
the
Lord
gave
not
the
devil
power
to
do
him
so
much
hurt
as
he
wisht
to
himself
.

Henry
Earle

commonly
to
wish
that
he
might
be
drowned
in

Privy
.
if
such
,
and
such
things
were
not
so
,
and
according
to
his
wish

befell
him
at
Saint
Peters
Monastery
in
Erfor●s
Anno
1148.
Luther

Cor.

reports
of
one
in
Germany
of
a
most
wicked
life
,
who
at
almost
every
word
he
spake
,
the
devil
was
at
one
end
.
Now
it
happened
on
a
time
as
he
was
passing
over
a
bridge
,
he
fell
down
,
and
as
he
was
falling
,
cried
out
,
Hoist
up
with
an
hundred
devils
:
which
was
no
sooner
spoken
,
but
the
devil
whom
he
called
on
so
oft
,
was
at
his
elbow
to
strangle
,
and
carry
him
away
with
him
.
Another
story
he
relates
of
a
Popish
Priest
,
once
a
Professour
of
the
truth
,
but
now
an
Apostate
,
who
thundered
out
many
bitter
curses
against
Luther
at
a
place
called
Ruthnerwald
,
and
amongst
other
passages
,
wished
,
if
Luthers
doctrine
were
true
,
that
a
thunderbolt
might
strike
him
to
death
.
Now
three
dayes
after
there
arose
a
mighty
tempest
with
thunder
,
and
lightning
,
whereat
the
cursing
Priest
being
affrighted
,
having
a
guilty
conscience
within
him
,
ran
hastily
to
the
Church
:
and
there
fell
to
his
prayers
before
the
Altar
,
but
Gods
vengeance
pursued
him
,
and
by
a
flash
of
lightning
he
was
struck
dead
:
and
though
they
recovered
life
in
him
again
,
yet
as
they
carried
him
home
,
in
the
Church-yard
another
flash
of
lightning
,
burnt
him
from
the
head
to
the
foot
as
black
as
a
shoe
,
whereby
he
immediately
died
.
Anno
Christi
1551.
there
lived
in
a
City
of
Savoy
,
a
man
who
was
a
monstrous
swearer
,
and
curser
,
and
though
he
was
often
admonished
,
and
blamed
for
it
,
yet
would
by
no
meanes
mend
his
manners
:
At
length
a
great
plague
happening
in
the
City
,
he
withdrew
himself
with
his
wife
,
and
a
kinswoman
into
a
Garden
which
he
had
:
where
being
again
admonished
to
give
over
his
wickednesse
,
he
hardened
his
heart
more
,
swearing
,
blaspheming
God
,
and
giving
himself
to
the
devil
,
and
immediately
the
devil
snatched
him
up
suddenly
,
his
wife
and
kinswoman
looking
on
,
and
carried
him
quite
away
.
The
Magistrates
advertised
hereof
,
went
to
the
place
,
and
examined
the
two
women
,
who
justified
the
truth
of
it
.
At
Oundle
in
Northampton-shire
there
was
one
William
Hacket
,
who
used
in
his
earnest
talke
thus
to
curse
himself
:
If
it
be
not
true
,
let
God
send
a
visible
confusion
upon
me
:
which
wish
of
his
came
to
passe
:
for
falling
into
abominable
errours
,
he
called
himselfe
Christ
,
and
Judge
of
the
world
,
for
which
he
was
hanged
in
the
thirty
third
year
of
Queen
Elizabeth
in
Cheapside
.
At
Oster
in
the
Dutchy
of
Magala●ole
,
a
wicked
woman
used
in
her
cursings
to
give
her selfe
body
and
soul
to
the
devil
,
and
being
reproved
for
it
,
she
still
contined
the
same
,
till
(
being
at
a
wedding-feast
)
the
devil
came
in
person
,
and
carried
her
up
into
the
aire
with
most
horrible
out-cries
,
and
roarings
,
and
in
that
sort
carried
her
round
about
the
towne
,
that
the
inhabitants
were
ready
to
die
with
fear
:
and
by
and
by
tore
her
in
foure
peeces
,
leaving
her
foure
quarters
in
four
several
high-wayes
,
and
then
brought
her
bowels
to
the
marriage-feast
,
and
threw
them
upon
the
table
before
the
Major
of
the
town
,
saying
,
Behold
,
these
dishes
of
meat
belong
to
thee
,
whom
the
like
destruction
waiteth
for
,
if
thou
doest
not
amend
thy
wicked
life
.
At
Wittenberg
,
before
Martin
Luther
and
others
;
a
woman
whose
daughter
was
possessed
with
a
spirit
,
confessed
that
,
being
angry
she
bid
the
devil
take
her
,
and
that
she
had
no
sooner
spoken
the
word
,
but
she
was
possessed
after
a
strange
sort
.
In
a
towne

,
Sep.

Anno
1552.
a
cholerick
father
seeing
his
sonne
slack
about
his
businesse
,
wished
that
he
might
never
stirre
from
that
place
:
which
he
had
no
sooner
spoken
,
but
his
son
stuck
fast
indeed
,
nor
could
by
any
meanes
possible
be
removed
,
no
not
so
much
as
to
fit
,
or
bend
his
body
,
till
by
the
prayers
of
the
faithful
,
his
paines
were
mitigated
,
though
not
remitted
:
three
yeares
he
continued
so
standing
with
a
post
at
his
back
for
his
ease
,
and
four
years
sitting
,
at
the
end
whereof
he
died
,
nothing
weakned
in
his
understanding
but
professing
the
faith
,
and
not
doubting
of
his
salvation
through
Jesus
Christ
:
when
at
any
time
he
was
asked
how
he
did
?
his
answer
usualy
was
,
that
he
was
fastened
of
God
,
and
that
it
was
not
in
man
to
release
him
.
At
Noeburg
in
Germany
a
woman
in
her
anger
cursed
her
sonne
,
wishing
that
she
might
never
see
him
return
alive
:
and
the
same
day
the
young
man
bathing
himselfe
in
water
,
was
drowned
,
so
that
(
as
she
wished
)
it
befel
her
.
This
is
the
curse
which
goeth
forth
over
the
face
of
the
whole
world
,
I
will
bring
it
forth
,
saith
the
Lord
,
and
it
shall
enter
into
the
house
of
the
thiefe
,
and
into
the
house
of
him
that
sweareth
falsly
by
my
Name
,
and
it
shall
remaine
in
the
middest
of
his
house
,
and
shall
consume
it
with

timber
thereof

with

thereof

There

(
saith
he

presently
after
the
death
of

Hierom
,
a
bold
and
blasphemous
Heretick
,
called

denied

to

opinions

he
published
in

name

Hierome

sharply

him
for
depraving
so
worthy
a
man
now
dead

to
detect
his
falsehood

agreed

that
if
Hierome
did
not
the
next
day
by
some
miracle
declare
his
falsehood

he
would
willingly
die

if
he
did

did

About

there
lived
at
Cubbington
in
Warwick-shire
,
a
Gentleman
called
Master
Griswould
,
of
a
competent
estate
,
and
a
zealous
prosessor
of
Religion
,
familiarly
acquainted
with
most
of
the
godly
Ministers
and
Christians
thereabouts
,
and
well
esteemed
of
by
them
:
till
one
Canne
(
lately
of
Amsterdam
)
falling
into
his
acquaintance
began
to
seduce
him
from
his
former
opinions
,
and
practice
,
causing
him
to
scruple
,
first
,
joyning
with
our
Congregations
in
Prayers
,
and
the
Sacrament
:
Secondly
,
to
question
whether
he
might
lawfully
hear
a
conformable
Minister
,
though
able
,
and
godly
?
from
thence
he
fell
to
separation
:
and
after
a
while
,
he
first
questioned
,
and
after
concluded
,
that
there
was
no
true
Church
in
the
world
,
to
which
he
might
adjoyne
himselfe
,
and
therefore
kept
himselfe
to
duties
with
his
own
family
,
and
rejected
all
others
,
yet
staid
he
not
long
here
,
but
after
a
while
,
excluding
his
servants
,
he
kept
himselfe
in
his
chamber
with
his
children
only
:
Then
he
conceited
that
all
civil
society
with
others
defiled
him
:
and
thereupon
locking
his
chamber-door
continually
,
he
caused
his
servants
to
reach
in
at
the
window
food
for
himselfe
,
and
children
:
He
cut
out
all
the
contents
of
the
Chapters
,
through
the
whole
Bible
:
expected
Enthusiasmes
,
and
revelations
,
often
in
the
day
lying
along
on
the
floore
,
and
causing
his
children
to
do
the
like
with
their
heads
in
a
ring
:
and
when
his
ancient
friends
,
Ministers
,
and
others
hearing
of
it
,
came
to
speake
with
him
(
amongst
whom
my selfe
was
one
)
knocking
at
his
chamber-door
,
importuning
,
intreating
,
and
threatening
to
break
open
the
doore
,
yet
could
they
by
no
meanes
prevaile
either
to
have
a
word
from
him
,
or
the
door
opened
:
at
length
one
of
his
children
sickened
,
and
died
,
yet
he
concealing
it
,
privately
carried
it
into
the
next
roome
,
and
locked
it
up
,
till
the
corpse
putrefying
almost
choaked
him
:
whereupon
he
caused
his
servant
to
bring
him
some
Mosse
,
(
still
concealing
the
occasion
)
wherewith
he
stopped
the
cranies
in
his
wall
to
keep
out
the
stench
:
But
his
course
of
life
being
much
talked
of
abroad
,
a
neighbour
Justice
of
Peace
,
pittying
his
condition
,
sent
some
with
command
to
break
open
his
chamber-doore
,
which
being
done
,
they
found
him
,
and
his
children
(
like
Nebuchadnezzar
)
much
deformed
with
their
haire
,
and
nailes
grown
very
long
,
their
clothes
almost
rotten
upon
their
backes
for
the
want
of
shift
,
and
all
their
healths
very
much
impaired
with
that
course
of
life
:
yet
neither
would
he
,
nor
any
of
his
children
(
being
so
tutored
by
him
)
speak
to
any
one
,
though
never
so
much
pressed
thereunto
.
But
it
pleased
God
at
length
that
his
children
being
taken
from
him
,
and
sent
to
some
friends
,
recovered
both
their
tongues
,
and
health
.
Himself
upon
the
breaking
open
of
this
door
presently
took
his
bed
,
refusing
to
speak
to
,
or
converse
with
any
:
and
though
by
godly
Ministers
and
others
which
came
to
him
,
he
was
laboured
with
to
take
notice
of
the
dangerous
temptation
under
which
he
lay
,
intreated
,
counselled
,
threatened
,
and
prayed
with
,
and
for
him
,
yet
still
turning
his
face
to
the
wall
,
he
would
neither
heare
nor
answer
them
one
word
;
In
which
obstinate
condition
he
remained
till
his
death
,
which
was
not
long
after

the

the

hands

thighes

instead

it
had
on

foot
three
clawes
,
with
Tallons
like
a
Fowle
:
upon
the
back
above
the
belly
,
it
had
two
great
holes
like
mouths
,
and
in
each
of
them
stood
out
two
peeces
of
flesh
:
it
had
no
forehead
,

in
the
place
above
the
eyes
it
had
four
hornes
,
two
of
above
an
inch
long
,
hard
,
and
sharpe
,
and
the
othee
two
somewhat

that
they
were

Mahomet
,
by
birth
an
Arabian
,
was
one
of
the
monstrousest
hereticks
that
ever
lived
.
He
came
of
a
base
stock
,
and
being
fatherlesse
,
one
Abdemonoples
bought
him
for
his
slave
,
and
loved
him
for
his
parts
,
so
that
he
made
him
ruler
of
his
house
;
about
which
time
one
Serg●us
a
Monk
(
flying
for
his
Heresie
into
Arabia
)
instructed
him
in
the
Heresie
of
Nestorius
.
A
while
after
his
Master
died
,
and
Mah●met
married
his
widow
,
after
whose
death
he
grew
famous
for
his
wealth
,
and
skill
in
Magick
.
Wherefore
by
the
advice
of
Sergius
he
called
himself
the
great
prophet
of
God
,
and
his
fame
encreasing
,
he
devised
a
Law
,
and
wrote
it
,
which
he
called
the
Alcoran
,
wherein
he
borrowed
something
from
almost
all
the
Heresies
which
were
before
his
time
.
With
the
Sabellians
he
denied
the
Trinity
.
With
the
Manichees
he
affirmed
that
there
were
but
two
persons
in
the
Deity
.
With
Eunomius
he
denied
the
equality
of
the
Father
with
the
Son
.
With
Macedonius
he
said
that
the
Holy
Ghost
was
a
Creature
:
and
held
the
community
of
women
with
the
Nicolaitans
:
He
borrowed
of
the
Jews
circumcision
,
and
of
the
Gentiles
much
superstition
:
And
somewhat
he
took
from
the
Christian
verity
,
besides
many
devilish
phansies
invented
of
his
own
braine
:
But
when
he
had
lived
in
wickednesse
about
fourty
years
,
God
cut
him
off
by
the
falling
sicknesse
,
which
of
a
long
time
having
been
troubled
with
,
he
told
his
seduced
disciples
that
at
those
times
the
Angel
Gabriel
appeared
to
him
,
whose
brightnesse
he
could
not
behold

him

followed
him
apace
,
with
intention
to
restore
it
:
but
he
fearing
the
worst
,
being
inwardly
pursued
with
a
guilty
conscience
,
ran
away
,
and
hastily
leaping
over
an

into

in
which

Anno
Christi
1591.
there
was
one
Edmund
Coppinger
,
and
Henry
Arthington
,
two
gentlemen
who
associated
themselves
with
William
Hacket
,
sometimes
a
very
lewd
person
,
but
now
converted
in
outward
shew
,
by
whose
hypocritical
behaviour
the
aforesaid
gentlemen
were
deluded
to
think
that
Hacket
was
anointed
to
be
Judge
of
the
world
:
wherefore
coming
one
day
to
his
lodging
in
London
,
Hacket
told
them
that
he
had
been
anointed
by
the
holy
Ghost
:
Then
Coppinger
asked
,
what
his
pleasure
was
to
command
them
?
Go
(
saith
he
)
and
proclaime
in
the
City
,
that
Jesus
Christ
is
come
with
his
fan
in
his
hand
to
judge
the
earth
:
and
if
they
will
not
believe
you
,
let
them
come
,
and
kill
me
if
they
can
.
Coppinger
answered
,
that
it
should
be
done
:
and
so
immediately
he
and
Arthington●an
●an
into
the
streets
▪
and
proclaimed
their
message●
and
when
by
reason
of
the
confluence
of
people
they
could
go
no
further
,
they
gat
up
into
two
empty
carts
in
Cheapside
,
crying
,
Repent
,
repent
,
for
Jesus
Christ
is
come
to
judge
the
world
.
And
so
pulling
a
paper
out
of
their
bosoms
,
they
read
out
of
it
many
things
,
touching
the
calling
and
office
of
Hacket
,
as
how
he
represented
Christ
,
by
partaking
of
his
glorified
body
,
&c.
They
also
called
themselves
his
Prophets
,
one
of
Justice
,
the
other
of
Mercy
.
The
City
being
amazed
at
this
thing
,
took
Hacket
,
carried
him
before
a
Justice
,
who
after
examination
committed
him
,
and
at
the
Sessions
being
found
guilty
of
sedition
,
and
speaking
traiterous
words
against
the
Queen
he
was
condemned
,
and
hanged
on
a
Gibbet
in

,
uttering
horrible
blasphemies
against
the
Majesty
of
God
:
Coppinger
died
the
next
day
in

Arthington
was
kept
in
prison

hope

repentance

London
,
and
continued
some
yeares
in
that
imployment
:
afterwards
he
turned
a
violent
Sectarie
,
and
being
discarded
by
the
City
,
he
went
to
the
Army
,
where
he
found
countenance
and
imployment
:
But
withall
he
sucked
in
errors
so
fast
▪
that
in
Southwark
,
before
a
godly
Minister
,
he
said
,
That
there
was
no
more
holinesse
in
the
Scriptures
,
then
in
a
dogs
taile
:
which
afterwards
he
againe
affirmed
before
the
said
Minister
,
and
many
of
his
Congregation
;
whereupon
the
Minister
went
forth
,
fearing
(
as
he
professed
)
lest
the
house
should
fall
upon
his
head
,
wherein
such
a
blasphemous
wretch
was
:
and
within
few
dayes
after
,
it
pleased
God
to
strike
the
said
Quarterman
with
a
violent
disease
,
viz.
upon
February
the
eleventh
,
where
of
he
presently
died
,
and
was
buried

In
the
same
year
there
were
in
York-shire
,
certaine
seduced
Sectaries
,
who
pretended
that
they
had
a
revelation
to
sacrifice
unto
God
certaine
creatures
,
and
amongst
the
rest
their
aged
mother
,
whom
accordingly
they
slew
,
perswading
her
that
she
should
rise
againe
the
third
day
,
for
which
they
were
apprehended
,
and
afterwards
hanged
at
York

lived
in
Southwark
one

who
lived
in

with
another
mans
wife
for
about
the
space
of
nine
yeares

and
afterwards
solicited
,
and
lay
with
one
Greens
widow
;
whereupon
it
pleased
God
to
strike
him
with
such
horror
of
conscience

that
he
ran
mad
,
and
continued
raving
,
and
raging
in
a
fearfull
manner

at
the
length

having
an
opportunity
he
murthered
himselfe
:
and
the
woman
with

Anno
Christi
1647.
there
was
at
Newbery
some
she
Anabaptists
,
that
took
upon
them
to
have
revelations
,
and
therein
to
see
,
and
know
such
glorious
things
,
as
could
not
be
imagined
:
and
one
of
them
had
such
strange
gestures
,
and
fits
,
as
the
like
was
seldome
seen
.
This
woman
gave
forth
,
that
she
had
a
revelation
that
such
a
night
she
should
be
taken
up
into
heaven
,
against
which
time
many
of
them
assembled
together
,
took
their
solemne
leaves
of
her
with
tears
,
and
the
time
being
come
,
out
they
go
to
see
her
ascension
.
The
night
was
a
Moonshiny
night
,
and
as
they
expected
when
an
Angel
should
come
to
fetch
her
up
in
a
Chariot
,
a
cloud
comes
and
covers
the
face
of
the
Moone
,
whereupon
they
all
cry
out
,
Behold
he
comes
in
the
clouds
:
but
presently
the
cloud
vanisheth
:
whereupon
their
hopes
being
frustrate
;
they
still
expect
his
coming
:
And
after
a
while
comes
a
flock
of
wilde
geese
a
good
way
off
,
whereupon
again
they
cry
out
,
He
comes
,
he
comes
:
But
when
the
wilde
geese
were
gone
,
at
length
they
were
faine
to
returne
to
their
homes
as
wise
as
they
came
,
having
made
themselves
a
ridiculous
spectacle
unto
many
.
In
May
last
1653
in
Kendal
in
Westmoreland
,
there
was
one
Iohn
Gilpin
,
who
was
very
desirous
to
associate
himself
with
the
Quakers
at
their
meetings
,
&
speaking
with
one
of
them
about
it
,
he
much
encouraged
him
to
hold
on
his
purpose
,
and
accordingly
he
went
to
them
when
one
Ch.
Atkinson
was
Speaker
,
whose
drift
was
to
deny
all
Ministerial
Teaching
,
and
Ordinances
,
together
with
all
Notional
knowledge
gained
by
the
use
of
such
means
,
and
to
become
as
if
they
hade
never
learned
any
thing
,
&
now
to
be
taught
of
God
within
themselves
:
by
waiting
upon
an
inward
light
,
which
(
as
he
said
)
lies
low
hidden
under
the
earth
,
viz.
The
old
man
which
is
of
the
earth
earthy
.
Gilpin
was
immediately
so
taken
with
this
new
doctrine
:
that
he
resolved
to
close
with
them
:
was
afraid
to
read
any
good
books
,
to
heare
any
preaching
Minister
,
or
to
call
to
remembrance
any
thing
which
he
had
formerly
learned
concerning
God
,
Christ
,
his
own
estate
,
or
any
other
subject
contained
in
the
Scriptures
;
for
they
told
him
that
all
such
knowledge
was
but
Notional
,
carnal
,
and
hanging
upon
the
Tree
of
Knowledge
:
adding
,
Cursed
is
every
one
that
hangs
on
this
Tree
.
One
of
them
told
him
that
Christ
was
as
man
,
had
his
failings
distrusted
God
,
&c.
At
his
next
meeting
the
Speaker
urged
him
to
take
up
the
crosse
daily
,
saying
.
Carry
the
crosse
all
day
,
and
it
will
keep
thee
at
night
:
He
urged
him
to
hearken
to
a
voice
within
him
:
Spake
much
of
a
light
within
them
,
which
Gilpin
not
yet
finding
,
was
much
troubled
,
desiring
that
he
might
fall
into
quaking
,
thinking
that
thereby
he
should
attaine
to
the
immediate
discoveries
of
God
to
him
.
And
accordingly
shortly
after
as
he
was
walking
in
his
chamber
,
he
began
to
quake
so
extreamly
that
he
could
not
stand
,
but
fell
upon
his
bed
,
where
he
houled
,
and
cried
in
a
terrible
,
and
hideous
manner
,
(
as
others
of
them
used
to
do
)
yet
was
he
not
affraid
but
looked
upon
it
as
the
pangs
of
the
New-birth
.
After
halfe
an
houre
by
degrees
he
ceased
from
houling
,
and
rejoyced
that
now
he
could
witnesse
against
the
Ministers
of
England
,
as
false
prophets
,
and
Priests
of
Baa●
.
All
the
night
after
he
was
much
troubled
with
dreames
about
his
sinnes
:
and
when
he
awaked
,
as
he
thought
thereon
,
he
perceived
something
lighting
on
his
neck
,
and
giving
him
a
great
stroak
,
which
caused
much
paine
,
and
so
a
second
,
third
,
and
fourth
,
each
losse
then
other
,
descending
till
it
came
to
the
middle
of
his
back
,
and
then
he
discerned
something
to
enter
into
his
body
,
which
Satan
suggested
to
be
the
Spirit
of
God
like
a
dove
:
and
he
thought
he
heard
a
voice
within
him
saying
,
It
is
day
:
Adding
twice
:
As
sure
as
it's
light
,
so
surely
shall
Christ
give
thee
light
.
Two
or
three
dayes
after
he
still
waited
for
more
light
,
and
walking
into
his
Garden
,
he
lay
down
with
his
face
to
the
earth
,
at
which
time
his
right
hand
began
extreamly
to
shake
:
and
he
was
in
a
great
rapture
of
joy
,
apprehending
it
to
be
a
Figure
of
his
spiritual
Marriage
,
and
union
with
Christ
:
Then
did
the
power
within
raise
him
,
and
set
him
on
his
feet
,
and
afterwards
laid
him
on
his
back
,
brought
his
sinnes
into
his
remembrance
:
causing
his
hand
at
every
sinne
to
strike
the
ground
;
and
he
heard
a
voice
saying
,
Now
is
such
a
sinne
mortified
:
then
was
he
perswaded
that
all
his
sinnes
were
mortified
at
once
:
then
rose
he
up
,
and
it
was
said
to
him
:
Ask
what
thou
wilt
of
the
Father
in
my
Name
,
and
he
will
give
it
thee
:
then
said
Gilpin
,
What
shall
I
ask
?
It
was
answered
,
Ask
wisdome
in
the
first
place
:
then
he
desired
that
such
things
might
be
given
him
,
as
made
for
Gods
glory
and
the
good
of
others
:
It
was
answered
,
that
his
request
was
granted
,
and
that
he
should
be
endowed
with
the
gift
of
Prophecie
,
and
singing
praises
to
God
.
Presently
after
he
went
to
another
of
their
meetings
where
Atkinson
was
again
the
Speaker
,
with
which
he
was
more
affected
then
formerly
;
for
that
(
as
he
conceited
)
he
could
inwardly
witnesse
to
what
he
spake
.
Atkinson
having
done
,
one
Iohn
Audland
spake
,
in
the
time
of
whose
speaking
Gilpin
was
by
the
devil
within
him
drawn
out
of
his
chaire
,
and
thrown
upon
the
ground
where
he
lay
all
night
;
all
which
time
his
body
and
members
were
all
in
motion
,
being
turned
from
his
back
on
his
belly
,
and
so
back
again
several
times
,
making
crosses
with
his
legs
,
and
his
hands
moving
on
the
ground
as
if
he
had
been
writing
:
and
he
heard
(
as
he
thought
)
a
voice
saying
,
that
that
writing
with
his
hand
on
the
ground
signified
the
writing
of
the
Law
in
his
heart
:
then
were
his
hands
moved
to
his
head
,
and
he
heard
the
voice
saying
,
Christ
in
God
,
and
God
in
Christ
,
and
Christ
in
thee
.
Which
words
he
was
compelled
to
sing
forth
in
a
strange
manner
,
and
with
such
a
voice
as
was
not
his
own
,
he
sung
also
divers
phrases
of
Scripture
which
were
given
in
to
him
:
then
the
devil
raised
him
up
,
and
bade
him
be
humble
,
then
brought
him
on
his
knees
again
,
and
he
heard
the
voice
saying
,
Stoop
low
,
low
:
and
when
his
face
was
almost
at
the
ground
,
it
said
to
him
,
Take
up
thy
crosse
,
and
follow
me
.
Then
rising
he
was
led
out
of
the
house
by
the
devil
at
a
back
doore
to
the
River
,
and
back
again
,
and
then
into
the
Town
,
where
he
was
drawn
down
the
street
,
to
a
doore
that
he
knew
not
:
whereupon
two
of
them
that
followed
him
,
said
,
Whither
will
you
go
?
This
is
the
Fidlers
house
.
Gilpin
answered
:
Be
it
whose
house
it
will
,
Christ
leads
me
hither
,
and
hither
I
must
go
:
then
was
his
hand
forced
to
knock
at
the
doore
,
and
a
voice
bade
him
say
,
Behold
,
Christ
stands
at
the
door
,
and
knocks
.
The
Fidler
opening
the
doore
,
he
went
in
,
and
taking
down
a
Base-viol
,
he
was
forced
to
play
on
it
,
and
to
dance
whereupon
he
questioned
what
power
led
him
to
such
actions
?
and
the
voice
presently
answered
him
,
This
is
not
because
I
love
Musick
,
for
I
hate
it
,
but
to
signifie
to
thee
what
joy
there
is
in
heaven
at
thy
conversion
:
as
also
,
what
spiritual
Melody
thou
shalt
have
hereafter
.
Then
was
he
led
out
of
the
house
,
and
carried
thorow
the
Town
,
being
forced
,
as
he
went
,
to
proclaime
,
I
am
the
way
,
the
truth
,
and
the
life
:
Then
went
he
to
his
own
house
,
and
there
by
the
devil
was
thrown
down
,
and
forced
to
make
circles
with
his
hands
,
the
voice
telling
him
,
that
he
was
now
putting
off
the
old
man
.
His
hand
also
was
forced
to
take
up
a●stone
which
lay
on
the
floore
,
which
he
thought
to
be
like
a
mans
heart
,
and
the
voice
told
him
,
that
Christ
had
taken
that
stone
out
of
his
heart
,
and
given
him
an
heart
of
flesh
:
then
holding
it
forth
to
the
spectatours
,
he
was
forced
to
say
,
Except
you
see
signes
,
and
wonders
,
you
will
not
believe
;
And
throwing
the
stone
amongst
them
,
he
said
,
Lo
,
here
is
my
heart
of
stone
.
Then
was
he
cast
upon
his
back
on
the
ground
,
and
the
voice
said
,
Thou
shalt
have
two
Angels
to
keep
thee
:
and
immediately
two
swallows
came
down
the
Chimney
,
and
sat
on
a
shelfe
neere
him
;
whereupon
he
cried
,
My
Angels
,
my
Angels
,
and
withal
he
held
out
his
hand
to
them
,
expecting
they
should
have
come
to
him
;
but
they
flew
up
the
chimney
again
,
though
the
doore
,
and
windows
were
open
.
Then
was
he
carried
upon
his
hands
,
and
knees
out
of
the
doores
into
the
street
,
and
when
his
wife
would
have
stopped
him
,
he
said
,
he
must
not
be
stopped
,
he
must
forsake
wife
,
children
,
and
all
to
follow
Christ
.
Thus
went
he
up
the
street
,
thinking
that
he
bore
a
crosse
upon
his
neck
,
till
some
pulled
him
out
of
the
mire
,
and
dirt
,
and
by
force
carried
him
into
his
house
,
whereupon
pointing
at
one
of
them
,
he
said
,
Christ
points
at
thee
,
thou
art
a
wicked
woman
,
and
hast
hindred
the
work
of
the
Lord
.
Then
the
voice
asked
him
,
Where
is
thy
crosse
?
upon
which
he
thought
he
saw
a
visible
crosse
hanging
in
a
thread
,
which
with
his
hand
he
put
behinde
his
neck
:
Thus
he
continued
till
the
evening
,
when
many
of
the
Quakers
coming
to
him
,
said
,
Be
lowly
minded
,
and
hearken
to
the
voice
within
thee
,
and
so
they
left
him
,
his
strength
being
almost
quite
spent
with
his
restlessenesse
.
His
wife
and
family
going
to
bed
,
he
remained
alone
,
when
he
began
to
question
,
whether
these
strange
actions
were
Divine
,
or
Diabolical
?
whereupon
he
trembled
,
and
his
hand
was
forced
to
take
up
a
knife
,
which
lay
by
,
and
to
point
it
to
his
throat
,
and
the
voice
said
to
him
,
Open
a
hole
there
,
and
I
will
give
thee
eternal
life
:
But
he
threw
away
the
knife
,
and
his
wife
coming
to
him
,
at
her
perswasion
he
went
to
bed
,
and
all
the
night
after
he
assured
himself
that
he
was
possessed
by
the
devil
,
and
in
the
morning
he
roared
and
cried
out
,
Now
the
devil
is
gone
out
of
me
,
at
which
instant
he
,
and
his
family
heard
it
thunder
,
though
no
others
heard
it
.
Shortly
after
the
devil
came
to
him
again
,
and
told
him
,
that
it
was
Satan
that
had
possessed
,
and
seduced
him
hitherto
,
but
now
Christ
was
come
,
and
had
cast
out
Satan
,
and
told
him
also
that
what
he
had
done
the
day
before
was
in
obedience
unto
Satan
,
and
that
as
he
had
served
Satan
the
day
before
in
his
cloathes
,
so
now
this
day
he
must
undo
all
that
he
had
done
in
his
shirt
in
obedience
to
Christ
:
whereupon
he
rose
out
of
his
bed
,
went
into
the
street
in
his
shirt
,
but
some
stopped
him
:
whereupon
the
devil
within
him
told
him
,
that
he
must
be
carried
into
the
house
by
four
women
,
or
else
that
he
should
for
ever
stand
there
like
a
pillar
of
salt
,
as
Lots
wise
did
.
Then
foure
women
carried
him
into
his
bed
;
whereupon
he
told
them
,
that
the
day
before
he
had
been
doing
the
devils
work
,
but
now
he
must
do
Christs
work
,
&c.
Then
he
fell
to
acting
in
his
shirt
upon
the
bed
,
as
he
had
done
the
day
before
upon
the
floor
,
playing
topsey
turvey
from
one
bed
to
another
:
the
devil
bidding
him
not
to
fear
,
for
(
saith
he
)
I
will
give
thee
strength
:
then
it
told
him
,
that
the
day
before
the
devil
bade
him
bear
his
crosse
,
but
now
Christ
bade
him
lay
it
aside
,
for
Christ
takes
no
pleasure
in
Crosses
,
nor
will
be
worshipped
as
yesterday
he
had
done
:
It
said
farther
:
Yesterday
the
devil
made
thee
lie
all
day
on
the
ground
,
but
now
I
have
provided
a
bed
for
thee
:
For
my
yoak
is
easie
:
He
promised
also
to
give
him
bread
of
life
to
eat
,
and
water
of
life
to
drink
,
and
that
out
of
his
belly
should
flow
rivers
of
living
water
:
Then
were
his
teeth
moved
as
if
he
was
eating
,
and
he
thought
that
he
felt
in
his
belly
a
flowing
up
,
and
down
of
waters
:
he
was
told
also
that
yesterday
the
devils
Angels
waited
on
him
,
but
now
Christs
Angels
should
guard
him
;
hereupon
he
saw
two
Butterflies
in
the
window
,
and
his
hand
was
forced
to
take
one
of
them
,
and
to
put
it
into
his
mouth
,
which
he
swallowed
down
:
then
he
was
moved
to
take
the
other
,
and
put
it
to
his
throat
,
and
he
was
told
that
it
should
enter
in
there
,
for
(
saith
the
voice
)
nothing
is
impossible
to
him
that
beleeveth
:
then
he
was
forced
to
make
circles
on
the
bed
,
whereupon
he
began
to
supect
that
he
was
acted
by
Satan
,
and
thereupon
in
great
fear
cried
out
,
Lord
,
what
wilt
thou
have
me
do
?
But
the
devil
answered
,
It
's
too
late
to
cry
unto
God
,
for
sentence
is
already
passed
against
thee
:
Hereupon
he
lay
down
in
despaire
;
but
presently
the
devil
told
him
the
third
time
,
that
it
was
a
while
devil
that
had
deluded
him
this
second
time
;
but
that
now
Christ
was
come
indeed
,
and
would
cast
him
out
:
and
accordingly
he
thought
the
devil
was
ejected
:
But
then
all
his
members
fell
on
working
as
if
the
pangs
of
death
had
been
upon
him
:
the
voice
teling
him
,
that
they
were
the
pangs
of
the
New-birth
,
and
that
now
Christ
was
new-borne
in
him
:
Thus
he
continued
a
whole
day
,
and
the
devil
told
him
that
now
he
should
work
wonders
,
and
cast
out
devils
in
Christs
Name
.
Then
came
in
two
of
the
Quakers
,
to
whom
he
said
,
I
have
two
devils
cast
out
of
me
,
but
now
Christ
is
in
me
of
a
truth
:
Then
said
the
devil
to
him
,
I
was
crowned
with
a
crown
of
thornes
,
but
I
will
crown
thee
with
a
crown
of
glory
,
and
bade
him
set
his
fist
upon
his
head
,
which
(
saith
he
)
to
the
standers
by
shall
appear
as
a
glorious
crown
:
when
he
did
this
,
he
asked
them
,
what
they
saw
?
they
answered
nothing
:
whereupon
the
devil
told
him
,
that
they
saw
the
crown
on
his
head
,
but
were
so
stricken
with
admiratien
that
they
could
not
expresse
what
they
saw
:
Then
the
devil
bade
him
tell
one
of
the
Quakers
,
that
he
had
a
devil
in
him
,
but
he
should
east
it
out
:
and
that
he
should
quake
,
and
tremble
,
which
accordingly
he
did
:
then
the
devil
bade
him
to
speak
to
him
to
fall
flat
on
the
ground
,
which
he
did
,
and
presently
rose
againe
;
whereupon
Gilpin
asked
him
,
whether
now
the
devil
was
gone
out
of
him
?
to
which
he
answered
not
,
but
the
devil
told
him
that
he
was
now
ejected
,
&c.
A
while
after
he
began
again
to
question
whether
in
all
this
he
were
not
deluded
by
Satan
,
which
made
him
fall
into
a
great
fear
,
and
then
the
devil
told
him
that
all
this
while
he
had
been
serving
him
,
and
blaspheming
God
:
and
that
now
it
was
too
late
to
repent
:
Hereupon
he
fell
into
despaire
for
a
time
,
thinking
that
every
thing
which
he
either
heard
or
saw
was
the
devil
that
came
to
fetch
him
away
:
Sometimes
he
thought
that
he
should
be
taken
away
in
a
flame
of
fire
;
other
sometimes
that
the
earth
would
open
,
and
swallow
him
:
Yet
at
last
it
pleased
God
(
as
it
seemes
)
to
give
him
repentance
and
peace
in
his
conscience
;
whereupon
he
published
a
Narrative
,
of
these
things
to
discover
the
danger
of
these
ways
,
and
to
be
for
caution
to
others
to
take
heed
how
they
go
out
of
Gods
wayes
,
and
forsake
his
Ordinances
,
least
falling
into
the
error
of
the
wicked
,
they
decline
from
their
former
stedfastnesse
,
and
lest
not
receiving
the
love
of
the
truth
,
that
they
might
be
saved
,
God
give
them
over
to
strong
delusions
to
believe
a
lie
.
This
is
attested
under
the
hand
of
the
Major
of
Kendal
,
the
Minister
,
Schoolmaster
,
and
some
others
.
As
we
may
not
tell
a
lie
,
so
neither
may
we
conceal
the
truth
,
especially
when
the
publishing
of
it
may
tend
to
the
advancement
of
Gods
glory
.
There
was
not
many
years
since
in
the
Parish
of
Kirkham
in
Lancashire
,
one
Mistris
Houghton
a
Papist
,
who
used
to
say
,
I
pray
God
rather
then
I
shall
be
around-head
,
or
bear
a
round-head
,
I
may
bring
forth
a
childe
without
an
head
:
Her
mother
also
being
a
Papist
,
used
to
mock
and
scoffe
at
the
round-heads
,
and
in
derision
of
Master
Prin
,
cut
off
her
cats
eares
,
and
called
him
Prin:
but
behold
the
just
retribution
of
God!
For
not
long
after
the
said
Mistris
Houghton
being
brought
to
bed
,
was
delivered
of
a
child
without
an
head
,
ugly
and
deformed
.
This
was
attested
by
Master
Edward
Fleetwood
Minister
,
the
midwife
,
and
others
that
saw
the
childe
taken
out
of
its
grave
.

very
poore
,

almost
pined
with
hunger
,
who
having
a
rich
and
wealthy
sonne
,
went
to
him
only
for
some
food
for
his
belly
&
clothes
for

:
but
this
proud
young
man
thinking
that
it
would
be
a
dishonour
to
him
to
be
borne
of
such
parents
,
drave
him
away
,
denying
not
only
to
give
him
sustenance
,
but
disclaiming
him
from
being
his
father
,
giving
him
bitter
,
and
reproachful
speeches
,
which
made
the
poore
old
man
to
go
away
with
an
heavy
heart
,
and
teares
flowing
from
his
eyes
:
which
the
Lord
beholding
,
struck
his
unnatural
son
with
madnesse
of
which
he
could
never
be
cured
till
his
death

The

author
relates
another
story
of
another
man
that
kept
his
father
in
his
old
age
,
but
used
him
very
currishly
,
as
if
he
had
been
his
slave
,
thinking
every
thing
too
good
for
him
:
and
on
a
time
coming
in
,
found
a
good
dish
set
on
the
table
for
his
father
,
which
he
took
away
,
and
set
courser
meat
in
the
roome
:
but
a
while
after
sending
his
servant
to
fetch
out
that
dish
for
himself
,
he
found
the
meat
turned
into
snakes
,
and
the
sauce
into
serpents
;
one
of
which
leaping
up
caught
this
unnatural
sonne
by
his
lip
,
from
which
it
could
never
be
pulled
to
his
dying
day

so
that
he
could
never
feed
himselfe

he
must
feed
the
serpent
also

made
a

at

finger

wished
that

house

himself

he

In
the
beginning
of
the
reigne
of
Darius
King
of
Persia
,
one
of
his
Nobles
called
Intaphernes
conspired
against
him
,
which
being
discovered
to
Darius
,
he
caused
him
,
and
all
his
kindred
to
be
cast
into
prison
:
But
Intaphernes
wife
exceedingly
weeping
,
and
houling
,
Darius
gave
her
leave
to
choose
any
one
of
the
prisoners
whose
life
she
would
have
spared
:
whereupon
amongst
them
all
she
chose
her
brother
,
and
Darius
asking
her
why
she
●…se
her
brother
rather
then
her
husband
,
or
son
?
she
answered
:
Because
if
God
please
I
may
have
another
husband
,
and
children
;
but
my
Parents
being
dead
,
I
cannot
have
another
brother
.
This
so
pleased
Darius
,
that
he
granted
her
the
life
;
not
only
of
her
brother
,
but
of
her
son
too
Herod
.
Darius
King
of
Persia
being
dead
,
left
two
sons
,
Ariamenes
,
or
as
some
call
him
Artabazanes
,
and
Xerxes
:
these
both
claimed
the
Kingdome
,
but
brotherly
love
so
prevailed
with
them
,
that
they
were
contented
to
stand
to
the
judgement
of
the
Persian
Nobles
;
yet
in
the
interim
,
Xerxes
being
in
Persia
,
performed
all
the
offices
of
a
King
;
and
Ariaments
coming
out
of
Media
,
Xerxes
sent
great
presents
to
him
,
commanding
the
messengers
to
tell
him
:
Thy
brother
Xerxes
presents
thee
with
these
gifts
,
and
if
by
the
consent
and
suffrage
of
the
Nobles
he
be
declared
King
,
he
promises
thee
the
chiefest
place
next
unto
himself
:
To
which
Ariamenes
returned
this
answer
:
Truly
I
willingly
accept
of
these
gifts
,
yet
claim
the
Sovereignty
to
belong
to
me
,
but
will
reserve
the
next
place
of
dignity
for
my
brother
Xerxes
.
The
Persian
Nobles
referred
the
determination
of
this
controversie
to
their
Uncle
Artabanus
,
who
having
heard
both
sides
,
determined
for
Xerxes
,
because
Ariamenes
was
borne
to
Darius
whil'st
he
was
a
private
person
,
Xerxes
,
after
he
was
a
King
:
the
mother
of
Ariamenes
was
the
daughter
of
Gobrias
a
private
woman
,
the
mother
of
Xerxes
was
Atossa
a
Queen
;
Ariamenes
hearing
this
judgement
without
any
distemper
of
spirit
,
rose
up
,
worshipped
his
brother
;
and
taking
him
by
the
hand
,
placed
him
in
the
Kingly
throne
,
and
ever
after
was
very
obsequious
to
him

why

there
was
not
one
in
thine

more
loyal
then
my selfe

all

Mardonius
being
left
with
a
great
Army
in
Greece
,
after
Xerxes
his
returne
into
Asia
;
he
sent
Ambassadors
to
the
Athenians
,
perswading
them
to
make
peace
with
him
making
many
golden
promises
to
them
,
if
they
would
do
it
:
the
Lacedaemonians
hearing
of
it
,
sent
their
Ambassadors
also
to
them
,
to
disswade
them
from
it
,
shewing
how
dishonourable
it
would
be
to
them
,
and
dangerous
to
all
Greece
:
and
the
better
to
prevaile
,
they
sent
them
word
that
whereas
their
houses
had
been
burnt
,
and
their
harvest
spoiled
by
the
Persians
,
they
would
provide
for
their
wives

children
,
so
long

lasted

To
the

they
scorned
so
long
as
the
Sunne
kept
his
course
to
make
any
friendship
with
the
Persians
,
whom
they
hoped
by
the
assistance
of
the
gods
to
drive
out
of
their
Countrey
.
To
the
Lacedaemonians
they
answered
,
that
knowing
the
valour
of
the
Athenians
,
they
marvelled
why
they
should
suspect
their
complying
with
the
Persians
,
assuring
them
,
that
the
greatest
promises
in
the
world
could
not
make
them
unfaithful
to
their
Countrey
,
nor
to
agree
with
the
Persians
whil'st
there
was
any
one
of
them
alive
,
and
for
their
proffer
to
provide
for
their
wives
,
and
children
,
they
gave
them
hearty
thanks
for
the
same
,
but
withall
told
them
,
that
they
hoped
they
should
be
able
to
provide
for
them
themselves

therefore
would
not

himselfe

the

crowned

cried
out
grievously

said
to

thou
diest
without
children

To

he

sent

Cato
seeing
this
said
to
his
Master
,
Why
doth
no
man
kill
this
tyrant
Sylla

Sarpedon
answered
,
Because
they
more
fear
him

then
hate
him
:
Cato
replied
,
Why
then
will
you
not
give
me
a
sword
,
that
I
may
kill
him

free
my

him

himself
thereby

for
this
end
desired
to
marry
with
Cato's
sister

the
maid
much
desired

but
Cato
liked
not
the
motion
,
returning
this
answer
:
That
he
would
not
be
ensnared
with
women
:
If
Pompey
did
that
which
was
just
,

profit
able

he
should
easily

him

was

by
some
that
sat
in

coming
through

flashing
in
their
faces
,
which
much
terrified
them
,

passing
through

Porch
into

,
it
tripped
up
his

that
was
toiling
the

,
and
struck
him
starke
dead

the

that

a

went
on

not

said
,
she
would
dance

God
struck
her
with

I
will
play

shortly

he
had
angred

with
staying
so
late
at

sports
the
last
Sunday
night
.
But
he
said
,
he
would
anger
her
worse
next
Sunday
.
He
had
no
sooner
said
this
,
but
suddenly
the
earth
fell
down
upon
him
,
and
flew
him
outright
,
with
the
fall
whereof
his

was
broken

him
so
nimble
:
Ameredith
replied
,
that
he
doubted
not
but
to
dance
about
the
May-pole
the
next
Lords
day
:
but
before
he
moved
out
of

place
,
he
was
smitten
with
such
a
feeblenesse
of
heart
,

dizzinesse
in

head

that
desiring

him
,
and
watching
his
opportunity
,
murthered
him
,
and
threw
him
into
a
brook
.
But
his
dog
continued
by
his
masters
corps
in
the
wood
,
sometimes
coming
to
the
Court
,
and
fawning
on
the
King
,
and
so
running
towards
the
wood
againe
:
the
King
missing
his
friend
,
of
whom
he
could
hear
no
tidings
,
began
to
suspect
the
matter
,
and
therefore
following
the
dog
,
found
the
corps
,
and
by
some
words
,
the
Faulconer
was
suspected
,
and
upon
examination
found
guilty
;
whereupon
being
put
alone
into
a
boat
,
he
was
committed
to
the
mercy
of
the
Sea
,
that
carried
him
to

there
to
be
punished
for
his
fault

Merchants
travelling
through

together

one
rose
up

slew
him
for

,

so
buried
him
,
and
went
on
his
journey
.
But
the
murthered
mans
dog
filled
the
wood
with
his
howlings
,
still
staying
by
his
Masters
grave
:
the
inhabitants
by
this
meanes
found
out
the
dog
,
and
the
murther
,
and
the
Faire
being
ended
,
they
watched
the
coming
back
of
the
Merchants
,
till
the
murtherer
coming
by
,
the
dog
fell
upon
him
with
all
his
might
,
whereupon
the
people
apprehended
him
,
who
upon
examination
,
confessed
the
fact

him

a

to

Ibycus
said

O

I
take
you

See

yonder

they
which
must
revenge
his

whom

murthered

which
the

A
Merchant
of
Luca
travelling
from
London
to
Roan
in
France
,
was
in
the
way
murthered
by
a
French
man
,
his
servant
,
and
thrown
amongst
the
vines
:
As
the
fact
was
doing
,
comes
by
a
blinde
man
led
by
a
dog
,
and
hearing
one
groane
,
asked
who
it
was
?
the
murtherer
answered
,
that
it
was
a
sick
man
easing
himselfe
:
This
villaine
with
his
masters
money
,
and
bills
of

,
sets
up

In

the
Merchant
was
expected
at

,
and
when
he
came
not
,
a

was

to

him

heard
at
an
Inne
,
that
six
moneths
before
a
Lucquois
Merchant
lodged
there
,

was
going
towards
Paris

But
the
messenger
hearing
nothing
of
him
there
,
began
to
suspect
that
he
was
murthered
,
and
made
his
complaint
to
the
Parliament
of
Roan
,
who
(
being
directed
by
Gods
providence
)
enquired
if
any
about
that
time
had
set
up
a
new
shop
,
and
finding
this
man
caused
him
to
be
arested
,
who
upon
examination
denied
the
fact
,
till
the
dead
corps
was

of

also
came
to

for

who
at

confessed
the
fact
,
and
was
executed
for

Plut.
The
Romanes
at
the
first
building
of
their
City
,
wanting
wives
,
made
a
great
feast
,
and
when
as
the
Sabine
virgins
came
to
see
their
pastimes
,
they
seized
upon
them
,
every
man
catching
one
for
his
wife
:
this
was
the
cause
of
great
,
and
long
Warres
between
the
Sabines
and
the
Romanes
:
but
at
last
when
the
two
armies
were
ready
to
joyn
battel
,
these
women
ran
betwixt
them
;
some
of
one
side
,
others
of
the
other
,
with
lamentations
,
and
cries
stepping
between
their
weapons
,
and
seeking
out
their
fathers
,
and
husbands
,
with
their
babes
in
their
armes
,
and
their
haire
dishevelled
,
they
called
sometimes
upon
the
Romanes
,
other
sometimes
upon
the
Sabines
,
with
the
movingest
expressions
they
could
devise
,
which
so
melted
the
enraged
hearts
of
both
Armies
that
they
gave
back
a
little
:
Then
Hersilia
that
was
married
to
Romulus
,
and
some
other
of
the
chiefest
women
said
to
the
Sabines
:
What
offence
have
we
done
to
you
,
that
we
should
deserve
such
an
heap
of
evils
?
we
were
indeed
violently
,
and
against
Law
ravished
by
those
who
are
now
our
husbands
,
but
you
left
us
so
long
with
them
,
that
now
we
are
tied
to
them
by
the
strongest
bonds
of
nature
that
can
be
.
You
came
not
to
our
rescue
when
we
were
Virgins
untouched
;
but
now
you
come
to
take
the
wives
from
their
husbands
,
and
the
mothers
from
their
little
ones
,
so
that
the
help
which
you
now
think
to
give
us
,
doth
but
grieve
us
more
then
your
former
neglect
of
us
:
These
,
and
such
like
speeches
brought
the
two
Armies
to
a
parley
,
during
which
the
women
brought
their
husbands
to
their
parents
,
and
brethren
:
provided
them
meat
,
and
drink
,
dressed
their
wounds
,
and
carrying
them
home
to
their
houses
,
shewed
them
that
they
were
Mistresses
there
with
their
husbands
,
highly
loved
,
and
honoured
by
them
:
So
that
in
the
end
a
peace
was
concluded
,
and
amongst
other
Articles
of
agreement
these
were
some
:
that
the
Sabine
women
should
remaine
with
their
husbands
:
that
they
should
be
exempted
from
all
service
,
and
work
▪
save
spinning
of
wooll
:
that
they
should
have
the
upperhand
of
their
husbands
:
that
the
men
should
speak
no
foule
,
nor
dishonest
words
,
nor
discover
their
nakednesse
before
them
,

grieved

thus
unto

talke
seriously
together

when
I
married
you
,
I
came
to
your
house
as
a
wife

not
as

gave
up

unto
you
not
onely
at
bed

and
board
,
but
as
a
companion
of
all
your
joy

and
sorrows

I
am

I
desire
that
you

come

What

cannot
do
it
in
other
things
:
onely
one
thing
troubles
me
,
that
you
make
me
not
a
partaker
of
your
secrets
,
as
doubting
of
my
fidelity
,
and
taciturnity
,
you
cannot
dissemble
with
me
:
I
discerne
that
your
minde
is
full
of
trouble
,
and
there
is
some
great
secret
that
you
are
about
:
Why
do
you
conceale
it
from
me
?
if
you
cannot
expect
help
,
yet
expect
comfort
from
me
:
and
I
will
assure
you
of
my
silence
:
Do
not
consider
what
others
of
my
sex
are
but
remember
againe
that
I
am
Cato's
daughter
,
and
Brutus's
wife
:
either
nature
from
my
father
,
or
custome
from
my
husband
hath
made
me
valiant
,
and
constant
so
as
not
to
fear
any
danger
.
What
need
more
words
?
I
have
made
trial
of
myself
by
this
wound
,
the
smart
,
and
paine
whereof
I
can
easily
beare
:
yea
,
assure
your self
,
that
I
can
die
with
Brutus
,
and
for
my
husband
.
Wherefore
if
thou
art
about
any
honest
thing
that
beseemes
us
both
,
do
not
conceale
it
from
me
.
Brutus
wondring
at
her
courage
kissed
her
,
and
with
his
hand
lift
up
to
heaven
he
said
,
O
ye
Celestial
gods
,
I
pray
you
make
me
an
husband
fit
for
such
a
wife
:
and
so
discloseth
the
whole
matter
to
her
.

asked

how

answered
,
When

I
yield

his

in

was
one

after
he
had
almost
pined
them
in

he
adjudged
them
to
be
drowned

whereupon
his
daughter
wringing
her
hands
,

falling
at
her
fathers
feet
besought
him
to
spare
her
husband
:
but
he
,
harder
then
a
rock
,
bade
her
hold
her
peace
,
saying
,
What
?
can
you
not
have
a
worthier
husband
then
this
?
to
which
she
answered
,
You
shall
never

espouse
me
to
any

and
so
beating
her
breast

tearing
her
haire
she

when
he
was
cast
into

she
leaped
in
,

caught
him
about
the
middle
,

being
unable
to
draw
him
forth
,
they
were
both
drowned
together

the

found
embracing
one

(
out

conscience
being

her

when

bracelets

this

agreed

in

night-time
opened

,

let
them
in
:
and
afterwards
when
she
challenged
her
reward
:
Tacius
the
Sabine
General
bade
all
his
souldiers
do
as
he
did
:

withall
he
threw
his

at

all
the

doing

like

she
was
pressed
down

them

died
immediately

received

Plut.
Camillus
with
the
Romane
Army
besieged
the
strong
City
of
the
Falerians
in
Italy
,
but
it
was
so
well
fortified
,
and
furnished
,
that
the
inhabitants
made
little
account
of
the
siege
.
At
this
time
the
whole
City
had
but
one
common
Scholmaster
,
who
used
to
lead
out
his
Schoolars
into
the
fields
to
play
,
and
watching
his
opportunity
,
he
at
last
led
them
to
the
Romane
Guards
,
delivering
them
all
up
into
their
hands
,
and
himself
going
to
Camillus
said
:
Sir
,
I
am
Schoolmaster
to
all
these
children
,
yet
do
I
preferre
the
favour
of
the
Romanes
before
my
honour
,
and
office
,
and
therefore
have
I
delivered
up
these
children
to
you
,
by
whom
you
may
make
the
Falerians
yield
upon
your
own
tearms
.
Camillus
answered
,
that
indeed
in
the
Warres
there
were
many
wrongs
done
,
yet
a
Noble
General
should
rather
seek
victory
by
Valour
then
by
wicked
,
or
treacherous
means
:
and
therefore
abhorring
this
vallainy
,
he
presently
commanded
his
Sergeants
to
teare
off
this
Schoolmasters
clothes
,
and
to
binde
his
hands
behinde
him
,
and
to
give
the
boyes
whips
,
and
rods
to
whip
back
the
Traitor
into
the
City
that
had
so
basely
betrayed
them
.
In
the
meane
time
the
Falerians
hearing
how
their
children
were
betrayed
,
ran
up
to
their
City-Walls
like
distracted
persons
,
but
there
they
spied
the
boyes

Ochus
King

raising

went
against
the
City

in

,
where
one
Tennes
was
King
,
who
hearing
of
Ochus
his
purpose
,
hired
Mentor
of
Rhodes
with
some
other
Grecian
Auxiliaries
for
his
aide
;
but
when
Ochus
drew
neere
with
his
huge
Army
,
he
sought
to
provide
for
his
safety
rather
then
his
honour
,
sending
one
privately
to
Ochus
,
proffering
to
betray
the
City
to
him
:
Ochus
being
glad
to
heare
this
,
promised
whatsoever
he
required
;
whereupon
Tennes
accordingly
betrayed
the
City
into
his

But
before
Ochus
came
,
the
Sidonians
to
make
their
men
to
fight
more
desperately
,
had
burnt
all
their
ships
in
the
haven
,
that
so
all
hopes
of
escaping
might
be
taken
away
:
so
that
the

being
thus
betrayed
,
the
Citizens
seeing
their
desperate
condition
,
shut
up
themselves
with
their
wives
and
children
in

houses
,

so
firing
them
,
burnt
themselves
and
all
that
they
had

there
perished
above

thousand
persons

Ochus
now
standing
in
no

,
caused
him
to
be
murthered
.

Other
Examples
:
The
Gaules
having
besieged
the
Romane
Capitol
seven
moneths
,
both
sides
grew
weary
,
and
upon
treaty
the
Romanes
were
to
give
the
Gaules
a
thousand
pound
weight
of
gold
,
and
so
they
were
to
depart
,
which
agreement
was
sworne
to
on
both
sides
;
but
when
they
came
to
weigh
the
gold
,
the
Gaules
would
hold
the
scales
,
and
used
much
falshood
therein
:
Brennus
also
their
King
took
off
his
sword
,
and
girdle
,
and
put
it
into
the
scales
,
and
being
asked
by
Sulpitius
what
he
meant
by
it
?
he
answered
,
What
can
it
meane
but
misery
to
the
vanquished
?
Iust
at
this
time
came
Camillus
to
Rome
with
an
Army
that
he
had
gathered
amongst
the
confederates
,
and
being
informed
of
all
that
happened
,
he
marched
in
good
order
to
the
place
where
the
gold
was
weighing
,
which
he
took
out
of
the
scales
,
and
divided
it
amongst
his
souldiers
,
and
then
falling
upon
the
Gaules
,
he
forced
them
to
depart
without
their
money
.

,
who
called
him
Father
,
promised
to
be

by

,
often
protested
that

Yet
shortly

caused

insulted
over
him
unworthily
after

took

therein
the
King
Psammenitus
,
and
all
his
family
,
and
Nobles
,
after
which
he
kept
him
prisoner
in

then
caused

amongst

Psammenitus
daughter
clad

to
fetch

in

which
when
their
parents
saw
,
they
all
brake
forth
into
grievous
weeping
,
only
Psammenitus
with
his
eyes
fixed
upon
the
ground
shewed
no

Then
did

cause

amongst

Psammenitus
his

to
be

tied

his

in

he
brake
forth

To
whom
Psammenitus
answered
,
My
domestick
evils
were
greater
then
that
I
could
expresse
my
sorrow
for
them
:

the
calamity

Cyrus
Junior
was
of

friendly
disposition
that
of
those
many
gifts
that
were
presented
to
him
by
his
Subjects
,
he
reserved
none
to
himself
,
but
distributed
them
amongst
his
friends
according
to
their
several
qualities
;
and
when
he
had
choice
apparel
sent
him
,
he
used
to
say
,
that
his
own
body
could
not
weare
it
,
but
he
thought
himself
richly
adorned
in
seeing
his
friends
adorned
with
it
:
When
he
had
excellent
wine
,
he
would
send
his
friends
most
of
it
,
saying
,
that
he
beleeved
that
they
could
not
get
better
:
When
he
had
costly
cates
at
his
table
,
he
would
send

a

Theodora
hearing

presented
herself

After
the
battel
of
Marathon
,
wherein
the
Grecians
had
overthrown
the
Persians
,
they
found
their
enemies
tents
full
of
gold
,
silver
,
rich
apparel
,
and
other
treasures
;
yet
Aristides
,
to
whom
a
great
share
of
them
did
belong
,
would
not
touch
any
of
them
,
nor
take
to
himselfe
the
worth
of
one
farthing
.
Plut.
Aristides
,
who
by
his
prudence
,
Policy
,
and
valour
had
exceedingly
enriched
the
Athenians
,
did
so
contemne
riches
,
that
when
others
abounded
,
he
only
remained
poore
:
and
when
a
kinsman
of
his
call●d
Callias
,
who
had
exceedingly
enriched
himself
by
the
Persian
treasure
,
was
accused
to
the
people
for
neglecting
to
relieve
him
in
his
wants
:
Aristides
himself
undertook
his
defence
,
telling
them
that
Callias
had
often
offered
him
much
,
but
he
had
alwayes
refused
it
:
For
there
are
many
,
saith
he
▪
that
abuse
their
riches
,
but
few
can
bear
poverty
well
.
Plut
▪
When
he
died
he
was
bur●ed
at
the
publick
charges
of
the
City
,
not
leaving
so
much
as
would
pay
for
his
own
funeral
Plato
thought
that
amongst
all
those
famous
,
and
worthy
men
that
Athens
had
bread
,
none
deserved
so
much
honour
as
Aristides
:
for
that
whereas
others
had
filled
Athens
with
stately
buildings
,
money
,
and
other
trifles
:
only
Aristides
in
managing
the
affairs
of
the
Common-wealth
,
had
proposed
nothing
to
himself
but
the
advancement
of
virtue

Hist.
Cimon
the
sonne
of
Aristides
,
after
his
fathers
death
,
governing
the
Common-wealth
of
Athens
,
would
by
no
means
take
any
bribes
,
but
did
and
spake
all
things
gratis
:
and
when
a
certaine
Persian
exile
with
a
great
Masse
of
treasures
fled
to
Athens
,
meeting
there
with
some
affronts
,
went
to
the
house
of
Cimon
,
and
there
set
down
before
him
two
great
goblets
full
of
gold
,
and
silver
;
Cimon
seeing
it
,
laughed
▪
and
said
unto
him
,
Whether
wouldst
thou
have
me
thy
friend
Gratis
,
or
thy
Patron
hired
by
a
great
summe
of
money
?
Therefore
,
said
he
,
take
these
things
away
,
and
m●ke
use
of
me
as
thy
friend
,
and
imploy
thy
money
otherwise
as
thou
pleasest
.
Plut.
This
Cimon
when
he
had
gotten
a
compe●ent
estate
,
caused
the
hedges
of
his
fields
to
be
thrown
down
,
that
so
every
one
might
freely
make
use
of
the
fruits
thereof
:
He
kept
a
frugal
Table
,
yet
enough
for
many
,
and
so
entertained
all
comers
.
Plut.
Epimenides
,
a
very
wise
and
good
man
,
having
taken
great
paines
in
reforming
Athens
,
when
he
was
to
returne
home
,
the
people
offered
him
great
summes
of
money
;
but
he
refused
all
,
only
desiring
them
to
give
him
a
branch
of
Olive
,
with
which
he
returned
into
his
own
countrey
.
See
his
example
in
Reformation

Plut.
Epaminondas
that
was
one
of
the
gallantest
men
that
ever
Greece
bred
,
who
freed
his
countrey
of
Thebes
from
the
Lacedemonian
slavery
;
and
obtained
many
great
,
and
admirable
victories
;
yet
was
he
such
a
contemner
of
riches
,
that
when
he
died
he
left
not
enough
to
discharge
the
charge
of
his
funeral
.
Just.
The
Lacedemonians
having
freed
themselves
from
those
Tyrants
that
had
lorded
it
over
them
,
they
sold
their
houses
,
and
goods
,
by
which
they
raised
one
hundred
and
twenty
Talents
,
&
then
bethinking
themselves
,
where
to
choose
a
worthy
General
,
they
at
last
pitched
upon
Philopoemen
,
the
most
accomplished
man
in
all
Greece
,
and
thereupon
resolved
to
send
Ambassadours
to
make
a
tender
to
him
of
this
Masse
of
money
;
but
every
one
,
(
knowing
how
far
he
was
from
being
caught
with
such
baits
)
refused
that
office
:
At
last
they
chose
one
Timolaus
of
his
ancient
acquaintance
,
who
wen
to
him
at
Megalopolis
,
where
being
entertained
and
feasted
by
Philopoemen
,
observing
his
gravity
,
frugality
,
and
temperance
,
was
so
discouraged
,
that
(
not
daring
to
deliver
his
message
)
he
returned
without
effecting
any
thing
;
the
like
did
a
second
:
but
a
third
being
sent
to
him
,
took
the
boldnesse
to
tell
him
how
much
the
Lacedemonians
esteemed
and
honoured
his
virtues
,
whereby
he
prevailed
with
Philopoemen
to
go
to
Lacedemon
,
who
there
(
in
a
publick
Assembly
of
the
people
)
exhorted
them
that
they
would
not
go
about
to
buy
friends
by
their
gifts
who
were
ready
to
serve
them
without
them
,
perswading
them
rather
to
imploy
that
money
in
bribing
their
turbulent
Oratours
that
disturbed
the
peace
of
the
City
:
with
so
high
a
minde
did
he
despise
their
money
.
Plut.
Agesilaus
King
of
Sparta
used
to
say
that
he
had
rather
make
his
souldiers
rich
,
then
to
be
rich
himself
.
Xenoph.
Lysander
King
of
Sparta
having
overcome
the
Athenians
in
a
great
battel
,
did
wonderfully
enrich
his
Countrey
with
the
spoiles
,
yet
himself
remained
poor
,
not
enriching
himself
one
penny
thereby
.
And
when
Dionysius
the
Sicilian
Tyrant
sent
him
costly
garments
for
his
daughters
,
he
returned
them
back
again
,
saying
▪
That
he
feared
lest
his
daughters
should
be
disgraced
by
them
.
Plut.
Xenoph.
The
King
of
Persia
sending
to
Epaminondas
,
that
famous
Thebane
Captaine
,
three
thousand
pieces
of
gold
to
make
him
his
friend
,
he
sharply
rebuked
the
Ambassadour
that
brought
it
,
for
travelling
so
long
a
journey
to
corrupt
Epaminondas
:
and
bad
him
take
it
back
,
and
tell
his
King
,
that
if
he
deserved
the
favour
of
the
Thebanes
,
Epaminondas
would
be
his
friend
without
a
bribe
;
but
if
he
deserved
otherwise
,
he
would
be
his
enemy
.
Plut.
The
same
Epaminondas
hearing
that
his
Squire
had
taken
a
great
summe
of
money
for
the
redemption
of
a
Captive
,
called
him
to
him
,
and
said
,
Give
me
my
shield
from
thee
,
and
go
and
buy
thee
a
shop
,
and
turn
hucster
;
for
now
that
thou
art
grown
rich
,
I
am
sure
thou
wilt
not
adventure
thy self
into
dangers
.
Plut.
Agesilaus
King
of
Sparta
was
a
great
contemner
of
riches
,
and
could
not
endure
covetousnesse
:
So
that
never
any
of
his
souldiers
,
or
Officers
had
cause
to
complaine
that
he
wronged
them
in
their
wages
,
or
otherwise
,
but
every
one
praised
him
for
his
bounty
.
Plut.
Agesilaus
King
of
Sparta
was
such
a
contemner
of
riches
,
that
he
would
never
suffer
himself
to
be
corrupted
by
them
to
do
any
thing
that
was
prejudicial
to
his
Countrey
:
and
whereas
the
Kings
of
Persia
in
his
time
made
it
all
their
care
to
heape
up
gold
,
silver
,
and
all
precious
things
,
he
on
the
contrary
valued
not
any
of
them
:
he
suited
his
expences
to
his
incomes
,
and
to
get
money
would
never
do
any
unjust
thing
.
Plut.
Pyrrhus
King
of
Epyrus
in

first
battel
that
he
fought
in
Italy
against

,
overcame
them
,
and
took
one
thousand
eight
hundred
prisoners
;
whereupon
the
Romanes
sent
Ambassadours
to
him
,
proffering
a
great
summe
of
money
for
their
ransome
;
but
he
rej●cting
their
money
set
them
free

and
taking
a
great
love
to
one
of
the
Ambassadours
called
Fabricius
,
and
understanding
that
he
was
very
poore
,
he
proffered
him
a

his
Kingdom
if
he
would

Fabricius

parching

to

And
when

he
brought

After

afflicted
by
the
Picts
,
and
Scots
,
the
Lord
at
last
gave
them
rest
from
all
their
enemies
,
and
sent
them
such
plenty
of
corne
,
and
fruits
of
the
earth
,
as
the
like
was
never
known
before
:
But
instead
of
returning
thanks

fell

with

For

the

sent
amongst

such
a

that
the
living
were
scarce

at
Dice
on
the
Lords
day
;
and
one
of
them
called
Ulrick
Schraeterus
having
lost
much
money
,
at
last
expecting
a
good
cast
,
brake
out
into
this
cursed
speech
:
If
fortune
deceive
me
now
,
I
will
thrust
my
dagger
into
the
very
body
of
God
,
as
far
as
I
can
:
and
the
cast
miscarrying
,
he
drew
his
dagger
,
and
threw
it
against
heaven
with
all
his
might
,
when
behold
the
dagger
vanished
,
and
five
drops
of
blood
fell
upon
the
table
in
the
midst
of
them
,
and
immediately
the
devil
came
in
,
annd
carried
away
the
blasphemous
wretch
with
such
a
noise
that
the
whole
City
was
amazed
at
it
:
The
other
,
halfe
distracted
with
fear
,
strove
with
all
their
strength
to
wipe
out
the
drops
of
blood
:
but
the
more
they
wiped
it
,
the
more
clearly
it
appeared
.
The
rumour
hereof
flying
through
the
City
,
multitudes
flocked
to
the
place
,
where
they
found
the
Gamesters
washing
the
board
,
whom
by
the
decree
of
the
Senate
they
bound
with
chaines
,
and
carried
towards
the
prison
:
but
as
they
went
by
the
way
,
one
of
them
was
stricken
suddenly
dead
,
with
such
a
number
of
lice
,
and
wormes
creeping
out
of
him
,
as
was
wonderful
,
and
loathsome
to
behold
:
The
third
to
avert
the
indignation
that
seemed
to
hang
over
their
heads
,
was
by
the
Citizens
immediately
put
to
death
.
The
table
was
preserved
for
a
monument
to
shew
the
accursednesse
of
Dicing
with
the
inconveniences
,
and
mischiefes
attending
the
same

one

who
got
his

by
dressing
vines
:
This
man
having
received
his

lost
it
all
at

;
whereupon
he
grew
so
distempered
in
minde
,
wanting
wherewithall
to
maintaine
his
family
,
that
in
his
wives
absence
he
cut
his
three
childrens
throats
,
and
would
have
hanged
himselfe
:
but
that
his
wife
coming
in
,
and
seeing
this
pittifull
tragedie
gave
a
great
out-cry
,

fell
down
dead

coming

to
a

death

down

only
some
few
,
thinking
to
gratifie
Brutus

moved
that
they
might
be
banished
:
but
Brutus
calling
his
sons
by
name
,
asked
them
,
what
they
could
answer
for
themselves

when
,
being
confounded
they
held
their
peace

he
said
to

They

Then
did

teare
off

had
their
heads
struck
off

depart
,

left
the
execution

the
rest

the

called
for
Brutus
again

who
being

spake
thus

for

to
be
called
to
account
for
his
vi●●ainy
,
he
stole
five
thousand
talents
of
silver
,
and
so
fled
to
Athens
,
labouring
by
his
money
to
corrupt
the
Citiz●ns
to
secure
him
against
Alexander
,
and
especially
he
sough
to
corrupt
their
Oratours
,
which
had
most
power
with
the
people
:
But
Demosthenes
exhorted
the
people
to
expell
him
out
of
their
City
,
and
not
to
bring
an
unnecessary
warre
upon
themselves
,
in
defence
of
●o
unjust
a
cause
:
yet
afterwards
being
with
Harpalus
he
spred
amongst
his
treasures
,
one
of
the
Kings
cups
of
gold
,
and
began
highly
to
commend
it
for
the
beauty
,
and
curious
workmanship
;
and
Harpalus
perceiving
his
cove●ous
minde
thereby
,
bade
him
take
the
cup
in
his
hand
,
and
guesse
what
it
might
weigh
:
Demosthenes
answered
that
he
could
not
guesse
:
But
,
saith
Harpalus
,
this
cup
will
bring
you
twenty
talents
;
and
accordingly
at
night
he
carried
him
the
cup
with
twenty
talents
in
it
:
Hereupon
the
next
morning
when
the
people
were
met
together
to
debate
the
cause
of
Harpalus
,
Demosthenes
came
to
the
Pulpit
all
muffled
about
his
throat
,
and
mouth
,
and
when
he
was
called
upon
by
the
people
to
speak
his
minde
,
he
told
them
that
he
was
troubled
with
a
squinancy
,
and
could
not
speak
;
wherewith
some
merry
fellowes
made
sport
,
saying
,
that
Demosthenes
had
that
night
gotten
a
silvernancy
,
and
not
a
squinancy

There
was
a
law
amongst
the
Romans
,
That
if
a
Judge
took
a
bribe
to
pervert
justice
,
he
should
die
for
it
.
And
if
any
bore
false

,
he
should
be
thrown
down
from
the
Tarpeian
Rock
.
By
the
Julian
law
De
Ambitu
amongst
the
ancient
Romanes
it
was
enacted
,
That
if
any
attained
to
honour
or
offices
by
bribes
,
he
should
be
punished
with
a
great
mulct
,
and
also
for
ever
be

Severus
the

Emperour
so
hated
bribery
,

that
he
would

was

Tacitus
used

That
never

came

Amongst

there
was
neither

,
nor

,

equality
with

,
and
a
quiet
life
with
sobriety

Plut.
Lycurgus
was
the
Law-giver
to
the
Lacedemonians
and
to
gaine
more
credit
to
his
Lawes
,
he
went
to
Delphos
to
the
Oracle
of
Apollo
to
consult
therewith
about
the
successe
of
his
enterprize
.
Plut.
He
would
have
none
of
his
Lawes
written
,
but
commanded
parents
by
the
virtuous
education
of
their
children
,
and
youth
to
implant
them
in
their
hearts
,
and
lives
.
Plut.
When
by
experience
he
saw
his
Lawes
well
approved
of
,
and
the
Common-wealth
to
flourish
under
them
,
he
had
a
great
desire
to
make
them
immortal
,
for
which
end
he
assembled
all
the
people
together
,
and
told
them
that
he
thought
his
civil
Policy
was
already
sufficiently
established
to
make
them
happy
:
yet
one
thing
of
the
greatest
importance
was
still
behinde
,
which
he
could
not
reveale
till
he
had
first
consulted
with
the
Oracle
of
Apollo
,
and
in
the
meane
time
he
desired
them
to
observe
his
Laws
inviolably
,
without
altering
any
thing
untill
his
returne
:
this
they
all
promised
him
faithfully
,
yet
for
the
greater
security
,
he
took
an
oath
of
the
Kings
,
Senators
▪
and
all
the
people
to
make
good
their
promise
to
him
,
and
so
went
to
Delphos
,
where
he
sacrificed
to
Apollo
,
and
asked
him
if
his
Lawes
were
sufficient
to
make
a
people
happy
:
the
Oracle
answered
that
they
were
,
and
that
his
Citizens
observing
them
should
be
the
most
renowned
in
all
the
world
.
This
answer
Lycurgus
wrote
,
and
sent
to
Sparta
,
and
then
taking
his
leave
of
his
sonne
,
and
friends
,
he
pined
himself
tò
death
,
commanding
his
friends
to
burne
his
body
,
and
to
throw
his
ashes
into
the
sea
,
lest
any
part
of
him
being
carried
into
Sparta
,
his
Citizens
should
say
that
he
was
returned
again
,
and
so
think
themselves
absolved
from
their
oath
.
According
to
his
expectation
whilest
Lacedemon
observed
his
Lawes
it
flourished
in
wonderful
prosperity
,
and
honour
for
five
hundred
yeeres
together
,
till
King
Agis
his
time
,
in
whose
reigne
gold
,
and
silver
began
to
be
in
request
,
and
so
pride
,
covetousnesse
,
and
curiosity
crept
in
,
which
by
degrees
wrought
their
ruine
.
Plut.
Numa
Pompilius
the
first
Law-giver
amongst
the
Romanes
,
gave
out
that
he
conversed
in
the
woods
with

Egeria
,
that
so
he
might
procure
the
greater
esteeme
to
himself

he
enacted

Thinkest

The
Lacedemonians
having
in
divers
battels
by
sea
,
and
land
overthrown
the
Athenians
,
they
at
last
set
thirty
Tyrants
over
them
,
which
exercised
extreme
cruelty
towards
them
.
The
honest
Citizens
whom
they
either
feared
,
or
hated
,
or
that
excelled
in
wealth
,
they
either
banished
,
or
slew
them
,
and
Teized
upon
their
estates
.
Whereupon
one
of
them
(
somewhat
better
then
the
rest
)
called
Theramenes
spake
against
this
cruelty
,
which
caused
another
called
Critias
to
accuse
him
of
treason
,
and
so
to
condemne
him
to
death
.
Theramenes
hearing
it
,
fled
to
the
Altar
,
saying
,
I
flie
to
this
Altar
,
not
that
I
think
it
will
save
my
life
,
but
that
I
may
shew
that
these
Tyrants
are
not
onely
cruel
towards
men
,
but
prophane
,
and
wicked
towards
the
gods
:
Critias
commanded
armed
men
to
fetch
him
away
to
his
death
:
and
as
they
led
him
through
the
City
,
he
cried
out
against
the
Tyrants
cruelty
,
whereupon
one
of
their
Captaines
said
to
him
:
Flebis
si
non
silebis
:
Thou
shalt
weep
if
thou
wile
not
hold
thy
peace
,
to
whom
he
answered
,
Annon
fleba
,
si

?
Shall
I
not
weep
if
I
do
hold
my
peace
?
when
they
put
the
cup
of
poison
into
his
hand
,
he
drank
it
off
,
and
throwing
away
the
bottome
he
said
,
I
drink
this
to
faire
Critias
.
After
his
death
they
raged
more
extremely
,
filling
all
places
with
rapines
,
and
slaughter
;
and
not
suffering
the
friends
of
the
murthered
to
interre
their
dead
bodies

Having
amongst

slaine
one

they
at

sent
for
his

dance
naked
upon

floore

was
defiled
with

blood
,

abominating

themselves
down

Alexander
the
Tyrant

Thessaly
was
of
such
a
cruel
nature
that
he
buried
many
of

others
he
sowed
up
in
the
skins
of
boares

worried
them
with

others
he
thrust
through
with
darts
,
and
that
not
for
any
offences
that
they
had
done
,
but
meerely
to
make
himself

and
when

had
gathered
the
inhabitants
of
two
confederate
Cities
about
him
,
as
if
he
had
something
to
impart
to

he
caused
his

to
fall
upon
them
,
and
murther
them
all
without
distinction
of
Sex

age
,
or

:
He
slew
his

Polyphron
,
and
then
consecrated
the

did
it

Plut.
Dionysius
the
Sicillian
Tyrant

was
so
suspicious
of
every
one
,
that
he
durst
not
suffer
a
Barber
to
trim
him
,
but
caused
his
daughters
to
do
it
,
neither
when
they
were
grown
to
womans
estate
,
durst
he
suffer
them
to
use
any
sizers
,
or
rasour
about
him
,
but
caused
them
to
burn
his
haire
,
with
burning
walnut-shells
:
He
had
two
wives
,
and
when
he
lodged
with
either
of
them
,
he
carefully
searched
all
the
chamber
before
he
went
to
bed
.
He
durst
not
come
amongst
them
when
he
was
to
speak
to
the
people
,
but
spake
out
of
an
high
Tower
to
them
.
When
he
was
going
to
play
at
tennis
,
he
gave
his
cloke
,
and
sword
to
a
boy
that
waited
on
him
,
whereupon
one
said
to
him
:
Sir
,
you
have
now
put
your
life
into
his
hands
,
at
which
the
boy
smiled
:
whereupon
Dionysius
caused
them
both
to
be
slaine
,
the
man
for
teaching
the
boy
how
to
kill
him
,
and
the
boy
for
laughing
at
it
.
There
was
one
Damocles
,
a
great
slatterer
of
his
,
who
told
him
what
an
happy
man
he
was
that
did
so
abound
in
riches
,
Majesty
,
Power
,
&c.
affirming
that
there
was
never
any
man
more
happy
then
himselfe
:
Well
,
said
Dionysius
,
wilt
thou
,
O
Damocles
,
try
how
happy
a
man
I
am
,
seeing
thou
doest
so
admire
my
condition
?
Yea
,
said
Damocles
,
with
all
my
heart
:
Hereupon
Dionysius
caused
him
to
be
cloathed
in
Kingly
apparel
,
to
be
set
upon
a
golden
seat
,
in
a
room
richly
hung
,
and
curiously
adorned
with
pictures
,
then
a
table
to
be
furnished
with
all
sorts
of
dainty
dishes
,
with
a
company
of
beautifull
boyes
to
waite
upon
him
.
He
had
also
precious
ointments
,
Crownes
,
musick
,
and
what
not
?
So
that
Domacles
thought
himselfe
a
woundro●s
happy
man
:
But
presently
Dionysius
caused
a
sharp
glittering
sword
,
tied
in
an
horse-haire
to
be
hung
just
over
his
head
,
the
terrour
whereof
so
afflicted
Damocles
,
lest
it
should
fall
on
his
head
,
that
he
durst
not
stirre
,
nor
enjoy
any
of
those
felicities
,
whereupon
he
sent
to
the
Tyrant
,
desiring
him
to
give
him
leave
to
go
away
,
for
he
desired
that
happinesse
no
longer

if

answered
,
Let

Antiochus

answer

he

either
of

therefore
he
prayed

yet
that
they

having

went
to
Babylon
where
he
had
the
City

Castle
delivered
up
to

there
in
infinite
treasures
:
from
thence
he
went
to

which
being
also
surrendred
to
him
,
he
found
there
fifty
thousand
Talents
in

such
abundance
of
riches
as
the

had
for

all
which

in

a

greater

it
being
the
richest

much
whereof
had
been
reserved
there

Alexander
setting
himselfe
down
in
the
Kings
throne
it
was
so
high
that
his
feet
could
not
reach
the
ground
,
whereupon
one
brough
a
little
table
;
and
set
under
his
feet
:
and
one
of
Darius
his
Eunuches
standing
by
,
sighed
and
weeped
grievously
,
which
Alexander
taking
notice
of
,
asked
him
what
was
the
cause
of
it
?
to
whom
the
Eunuch
answered

I
weep
to

that
table

was

highly
prized

This

flying
out

who
a

was
Lord
of
so
many
Kingdomes

and
people
,
of
so
much
treasure
,
and
riches
,
and
was
adored
as
a
god
by
his
Subjects
,
was
now
taken
by
some
of
his
own
servants
,
put
into
a
base
waggon
covered
with
hides
of
beasts
,
and
so
carried
hither
,
and
thither
as
they
pleased
,
and
to
fill
up
the
measure
of
his
wretchednesse
,
they
bound
him
in
golden
setters
,
and
drave
all
his
attendants
from
him
:
and
when
they
heard
that
Alexander
pursued
,
and
was
now
come
neere
to
them
,
these
villaines
,
Bessus
,
Artabazus
,
and
others
took
Darius
,
wounded
him
in
many
places
,
and
wounded
the
beasts
that
drew
him
,
and
so
fled
themselves
into
Bactria
:
In
the
mean
time
the
beasts
that
drew
Darius
being
weary
,
hot
,
and
wounded
,
turned
out
of
the
way
into
a
certaine
valley
,
whither
one
of
Alexanders
men
called
Polystratus
coming
to
seek
for
water
,
as
he
was
drinking
out
of
his
helmet
,
he
spied
the
waggon
and
mangled
beasts
,
and
going
,
&
looking
into
it
,
he
spied
a
man
halfe
dead
with
many
wounds
:
Darius
lifting
up
his
eyes
,
and
seeing
him
,
said
,
This
comfort
I
have
in
my
present
fortune
,
that
I
shall
breath
out
my
last
words
to
one
that
can
understand
them
:
therefore
,
saith
he
,
I
pray
thee
tell
Alexander
that
though
I
never
deserved
any
favour
at
his
hands
,
yet
I
shall
die
his
debtour
:
giving
him
many
thanks
for
his
kindnesse
to
my
mother
,
wife
,
and
children
.
Tell
him
that
as
he
hath
shewed
favour
to
them
,
so
on
the
contrary
my
servants
,
and
kinsmen
that
received
their
lives
,
and
livelihood
from
me
,
have
basely
betrayed
,
and
murthered
me
.
Tell
him
that
I
pray
that
he
may
Conquer
all
the
World
,
and
desire
him
to
revenge
this
wickednesse
both
for
his
own
,
and
for
the
sake
of
all
Kings
,
it
being
of
evil
example
that
such
treachery
should
go
unpunished
:
and
so
fainting
he
desired
a
little
water
,
which
when
he
had
drunk
,
he
said
to
Polystratus
:
Whosoever
thou
art
that
hast
shewed
me
this
kindnesse
in
my
extreme
misery
,
the
gods
requite
thee
for
so
great
a
benefit
,
and
the
gods
requite
Alexander
also
for
all
his
humanity
,
and
clemency
:
and
so
he
gave
up
the
ghost

some
to
congratulate

others
to
tender
their
homage

all
bringing
great

whil'st
in
the

he
was
feasting
of
them

he
caught
a
surfeit
with
inordinate

turned

a

before

being
asked
by

to
whom
he
would
leave

he
answered
,
To
the
most
worthy
man

and
he
being
asked
,
When
they
should
do
Divine
honours
to
him
?
he
answered
,
When
they
themselves
were
happy
,
which
were
his
last
words
,
and
so
he
died
,
having
lived
not
thirty
three
years

reigned
thirteen

assoon
as
he
was
dead

his

whil'st
they
were
contonding

his
dead
body
lay
many

Hist.
The
Heathenish
Romanes
had
for
a
difference
in
their
Nobility
a
little
ornament
in
the
forme
of
a
Moone
,
to
shew
that
all
worldly
honours
were
mutable
,
and
they
wore
it
upon
their
shooes
,
to
shew
that
they
trod
it
under
their
feete
as
base
and
bootlesse
.
No
sooner
had
the
soul
of
that
victorious
Prince
William
the
Conquerour
left
his
body
,
but
that
his
dead
Corps
was
abandoned
by
all
his
Nobles
,
and
followers
:
and
by
his
meaner
servants
,
he
was
dispoiled
of
Armour
,
Vessels
,
Apparel
,
and
all
Princely
furniture
,
and
his
naked
body
left
upon
the
floore
,
his
Funeral
wholly
neglected
,
till
one
Harluins
,
a
poore
countrey
Knight
,
undertook
the
carriage
of
his
Corps
to
Caen
in
Normandy
to
Saint
Stevens
Church
,
which
this
dead
King
had
formerly
founded
:
At
his
entrance
into
Caen
,
the
Covent
of
Monks
came
forth
to
meet
him
,
but
at
the
same
instant
,
there
happened
a
great
fire
,
so
that
,
as
his
Corps
before
,
so
now
his
Hearse
was
of
all
men
forsaken
,
every
one
running
to
quench
the
fire
;
which
done
,
his
body
being
at
last
carried
to
the
Church
,
and
the
Funeral
Sermon
ended
,
and
the
stone
Coffin
set
into
the
earth
in
the
Chancel
,
as
the
body
was
ready
to
be
laid
therein
,
one
Ascelinus
Fitz-Arthur
,
stood
up
and
forb●de
the
burial
,
alleadging
that
that
very
place
was
the
floore
of
his
fathers
house
,
which
this
dead
Duke
violently
took
from
him
to
build
this
Church
upon
:
Therefore
(
saith
he
)
I
challenge
this
ground
,
and
in
the
Name
of
God
forbid
that
the
body
of
this
dispoiler
be
covered
in
my
earth
:
so
that
they
were
enforced
to
compound
with
him
for
one
hundred
pounds
:
But
when
the
body
came
to
be
laid
in
the
Tombe
,
it
proved
too
little
for
it
,
so
that
being
pressed
,
the
belly
,
not
bowelled
,
brake
and
with
an
intolerable
stench
so
annoyed
the
by-standers
,
that
all
their
Gums
,
and
spices
●uming
in
their
Censers
could
not
relieve
them
,
whereupon
all
with
great
amazement
hasting
away
,
left
the
Monks
only
to
shuffle
up
the
burial
,
which
they
did
in
haste
,
and
so
gat
them
to
their

there
taking
ship
intended
to
escape

was
often
driven

I
will
die

often
saved

heard
that

approached

perforce
put
him
into

him
away

overtaken
him

he
with
an
undaunted

put
his

thanks

great

Bajazet
ingenuously
confessed
that
he
had
never
so
much
as
thought
upon
such
a
thing
:
To
whom
Tamerlane
replied
:
That
is
was
no
wonder
so
ungrateful
a
man
should
be
made
a
spectacle
of
misery
:
For
(
saith
he
)
you
being
blinde
of
one
eye
,
and
I
lame
of
one
leg
,
what
worth
was
there
in
us

God
should
set
us
over
two
such

Empires
,
to
command
so
many

worthy
then
our selves
?

he
thought
that

so
far
below
Reason

accounted
this

neither

Strange
Examples
of
Deafe
,
and
Dumb
Persons
.
WE
have
(
saith
Camerarius
)
in
Noremberg
a
young
man
,
and
a
young
maid
,
both
born
of
one
father
,
and
mother
,
and
of
a
good
house
,
who
though
they
be
deafe
,
and
dumb
,
yet
have
they
a
singular
quick
conceit
:
they
can
both
of
them
reade
very
well
,
write
,
cipher
,
and
cast
an
account
:
they
are
quick
,
and
cunning
at
Cards
,
Dice
,
and
all
games
:
The
maid
is
excellent
at
Sempstry
,
Tapestry
,
Embrodery
,
&c.
And
by
the
motion
of
a
mans
lips
,
they
know
his
meaning
.
Platerus
mentions
one
deafe
,
and
dumb
born
,
yet
could
expresse
his
minde
in
a
table-book
,
and
could
understand
what
others
wrote
therein
.
He
hearing
O●colampadius
preaching
by
the
motions
of
his
lips
,
and
gesture
understood
many
things
.
One
Gennet
Lowes
a
Scottish
woman
dwelling
in
Edenburg
,
being
deafe
,
and
dumb
by
nature
,
could
understand
any
one
in
her
house
,
meerly
by
the
moving
of
their
lips
:
so
that
by
their
motions
alone
without
a
voice
,
she
could
exactly
know
their
meaning
.
Master
Crisp
,
brother
to
Sir
Nicholas
Crisp
,
his
dexterity
in
knowing
the
meaning
of
men
by
the
motions
of
their
lips
is
very
well
known
to
Merchants
upon
the
Exchange
,
and
is
yet
fresh
in
every
ones
memory
.
At
the
time
when
Sir
Alexander
Carey
was
beheaded
at
Tower-hill
,
this
Master
Crisp
(
having
been
deafe
long
before
)
pressed
to
stand
neer
to
the
Scaffold
,
whereupon
Master
Hurst
,
an
officer
in
the
train-bands
that
kept
the
guard
spake
to
him
to
forbear
,
who
not
hearing
him
,
continued
to
labour
to
get
a
convenient
place
,
till
Master
Hurst
being
told
by
some
who
he
was
,
suffered
him
to
place
himself
right
against
the
front
of
the
Scaffold
,
and
when
Sir
Alexander
turned
himself
to
speak
to
the
people
,
Master
▪
Crisp
fixed
his
eyes
upon
his
lips
,
during
all
the
time
of
his
speech
,
which
he
so
perfectly
understood
,
and
carried
away
,
that
relating
it
to
his
friends
,
they
much
wondred
at
the
way
of
his
perception
.
There
was
a
Nobleman
in
Spaine
,
the
younger
brother
of
the
Constable
of
Castile
,
born
so
deafe
that
he
could
not
hear
a
gun
shot
off
by
his
eare
,
and
consequently
dumb
:
yet
the
lovlinesse
of
his
face
,
and
exceeding
vivacity
of
his
eyes
,
the
comlinesse
of
his
person
,
and
the
whole
composure
of
his
body
,
were
pregnant
signes
of
a
well
tempered
minde
:
Physicians
and
Chyrurgions
had
long
imployed
their
skill
to
help
him
,
but
all
in
vaine
:
At
last
a
certain
Priest
undertook
to
teach
him
to
understand
others
when
they
spake
,
and
to
speak
himselfe
that
others
might
understand
him
:
This
attempt
was
at
first
laughed
at
:
but
after
some
yeares
with
great
paines
he
taught
this
young
Lord
to
speak
as
distinctly
as
any
man
,
and
to
understand
so
perfectly
what
others
said
,
that
he
could
understandingly
converse
all
day
with
them
.
Prince
Charles
when
he
was
wooing
the
Infanta
of
Spaine
,
saw
him
,
and
oft
made
trial
of
him
,
not
only
with
English
words
,
but
making
some
Welchmen
in
his
traine
to
speak
words
of
their
language
,
all
which
he
perfectly
repeated
,
only
for
want
of
his
hearing
,
his
tone
was
rather
vehement
,
and
shrill
,
then
pleasing
.
This
many
were
witnesses
of
.
Pausanias
reports
that
one
Balthus
a
dumb
man
,
wandring
in
a
desert
,
met
with
a
Lion
,
and
was
struck
with
such
exceeding
fear
,
and
trepidation
that
thereupon
the
strings
of
his
tongue
were
loosed
,
and
he
spake
ever
after
.

Other
Examples
:
Aristides
is
an
admirable
example
of
constancy
,
of
whom
Phlutarch
writes
that
amidst
all
the
changes
which
befell
the
Athenians
in
his
time
,
he
remained
alwayes
the
same
;
for
honours
never
puffed
him
up
with
pride
,
nor
adversity
never
made
him
impatient
:
For
when
AEschylus
the
Poet
in
the
publick
Amphytheater
made
verses
in
his
commendation
,
and
thereupon
the
eyes
of
all
the
people
were
fixed
upon
him
,
he
was
nothing
affected
,
or
puffed
up
with
it
:
neither
at
other
times
was
he
afflicted
at
the
reproaches
,
and
indignities
of
his
enemies
:
He
used
to
say
,
That
it
was
the
part
of
a
good
Citizen
,
only
to
rejoyce
in
his
good
speeches
,
and
actions
.
Plut.
Nero
being
weary
of
his
wife
Octavia
the
daughter
of
Claudius
,
by
whom
he
had
the
Empire
,
charged
her
with
adultery
,
and
Pythias
one
of
her
women
,
was
miserably
tormented
upon
the
rack
,
to
extort
a
confession
against
her
imperial
Lady
,
but
she
left
this
memorable
Example
of
loyal
constancy
:
Tigellinus
,
Nero's
instrument
of
cruelty
,
sitting
in
Commission
at
the
rack
,
demanded
of
her
some
immodest
▪
questions
about
her
Lady
Octavia
:
But
she
being
raised
above
fear
,
or
paine
by
honest
courage
,
did
spit
into
his
face
,
saying
,
that
Octavia
was
honester
in
her
womans
parts
,
then
his
mouth
.
Suet.
Phocion
the
Athenian
was
semper
idem
▪
alwayes
the
same
,
neither
favour
,
nor
fear
altering
him
:
the
Oracle
declaring
that
there
was
one
man
that
was
an
enemy
to
the
concord
of
the
City
:
when
the
enraged
people
enquired
after
him
,
he
said
,
Pray
you
be
quiet
,
I
am
the
man
whom
ye
seek
,
for
there
are
none
of
your
doings
that
please
me
:
Athens
was
at
this
time
in
her
dotage
.
Afterwards
being
chosen
Captaine
of
the
Athenians
against
the
Macedonians
:
he
seeing
that
his
cowardly
souldiers
were
only
valiant
in
their
tongues
,
wisely
forbore
fighting
,
and
made
a
peace
:
afterwards
being
upbraided
,
as
if
he
had
done
it
through
cowardice
,
he
answered
:
You
are
happy
that
you
had
a
Captaine
that
knew
you
well
enough
,
otherwise
you
had
all
perished
before
this
.
At
another
time
,
when
Demosthenes
that
rode
the
people
by
his
flattery
,
told
Phocion
,
that
the
Athenians
would
kill
him
,
when
they
began
to
be
mad
.
But
,
said
Phocion
,
they
will
kill
thee
,
when
they
begin
to
be
wise
.
Lipsius

Saint
Ambrose
Bishop
of
Millaine
being
besieged
in
his
Church
by
the
Emperour
Valentinian
junior
,
at
the
instigation
of
Justina
his
mother
,
an
Arian
,
the
Emperour
commanded
him
to
come
forth
of
the
Church
,
intending
▪
to
deliver
it
to
the
Arians
:
But
Ambrose
told
him
that
he
would
never
come
out
of
it
willingly
,
neither
would
betray
his
sheepfold
to
the
wolvs
,
nor
his
Church
to
such
as
were
blasphemers
of
God
;
Therefore
(
saith
he
)
if
thou
wilt
kill
me
,
come
in
,
and
thrust
me
through
,
either
with
thy
sword
,
or
speare
,
which
death
will
be
very
grateful
unto
me
.

deliver
up

him
the
books
of
the
Sacred
Scripture
,
and
other
vessels
belonging
to

Church
,
he
rather
chose

driven
out

sharply
chid
him
,
threatening
him
with
death
,
if
he
persisted
therein
:
To
whom
Hormisdas
,
constantly
answered
:
That
which
you
command
me
(
O
King
)
is
wicked
,
and
therefore
I
may
not
abjure
the
God
of
the
whole
world
,
to
procure
your
Majesties
favour
:
For
a
crime
committed

then
disobedience

you

The

given
divine
honours
to
King
Demetrius

in
a

base

flattered
him

of

overthrow
by
Ptolemy
King

that
he
was
coming
to

to
charge
him
that
he
should
not

He

where

whether
in

the

answered

that
no

Examples
of
such
as
have
preferred
Christ
,
before
all
earthly
enjoyments
.
Under
the
eight
Persecution
there
was
one
Marinus
,
a
Nobleman
,
and
valiant
Captaine
in
Caesaria
who
stood
for
an
honourable
office
that
of
right
fell
to
him
;
but
his
Competitor
to
prevent
him
,
accused
him
to
the
Judge
for
being
a
Christian
:
The
Judge
examining
him
of
his
faith
,
and
finding
it
true
,
gave
him
three
houres
time
to
deliberate
with
himselfe
whether
he
would
lose
his
Office
,
and
Life
,
or
renounce
Christ
,
and
his
profession
:
Marinus
being
much
perplexed
what
to
resolve
on
,
a
godly
Bishop
took
him
by
the
hand
,
led
him
into
the
Church
,
laid
before
him
a
sword
,
and
a
New-Testament
,
bidding
him
freely
take
his
choice
which
of
them
he
would
have
,
whereupon
Marinus
ranne
to
the
New
Testament
,
and
chose
that
,
and
so
being
encouraged
by
the
Bishop
,
he
went
boldly
to
the
Judge
,
by
whose
sentence
he
was
beheaded
.
Dioclesian
that
bloody
Persecutor
,
first
laboured
to
seduce
the
Christian
souldiers
in
his
Camp
,
commanding
them
either
to
sacrifice
to
his
gods
,
or
to
lay
down
their
places
,
offices
,
and
armes
:
To
whom
they
resolutely
answered
,
That
they
were
not
only
ready
to
lay
down
their
honours
,
and
weapons
,
but
even
their
lives
,
if
he
required
it
,
rather
then
to
sinne
against
God
,
and
deny
Christ
.
A
Noble
Virgin
in
Portugal
called
Eulalia
,
under
the
tenth
Persecution
,
seeing
the
cruelty
used
against
Christians
for
the
cause
of
Christ
,
went
to
the
Judge
,
and
thus
bespake
him
:
What
a
shame
is
it
for
you
,
thus
wickedly
to
seek
to
kill
mens
souls
,
and
to
break
their
bodies
in
pieces
,
seeking
thereby
to
withdraw
them
from
Christ
?
Would
you
know
what
I
am
?
I
am
a
Christian
,
ana
an
enemy
to
your
devillish
sacrifices
,
I
spurne
your
idols
under
my
feet
,
&c.
Hereupon
the
Judge
being
enraged
,
said
unto
her
:
O
fond
,
and
sturdy
girle
,
I
would
faine
have
thee
before
thou
diest
revoke
thy
wickednesse
:
Remember
the
Honourable
House
of
which
thou
art
come
,
and
thy
friends
teares
:
Wilt
thou
cast
away
thy selfe
in
the
flower
of
thy
youth
?
Wilt
thou
bereave
thy selfe
of
honourable
marriage
?
Doth
the
glittering
pomp
of
the
bride-bed
nothing
prevaile
with
thee
?
&c.
Behold
,
if
these
things
will
not
move
thee
,
I
have
here
variety
of
engins
prepared
to
put
thee
to
a
cruel
death
,
&c.
But
our
Noble
Eulalia
having
her
heart
ravished
with
the
love
of
Christ
,
to
whom
she
desired
to
be
married
,
rejected
both
his
flatteries
,
and
threats
,
and
chose
death
,
rather
then
to
forsake
Christ
.

In
the
late
Bohemian
Persecution
a
noble
Lady
of
the
City
of
Latium
,
leaving
all
her
riches
,
house
,
and
friends
,
crept
under
the
walls
through
the
common
sewer
(
the
gates
being
guarded
)
that
she
might
enjoy
Christ
in
his
Ordinances
elsewhere
.
In
the
Affrican
Persecution
under
the
Arians
there
was
a
noble
man
called
Saturus
,
eminent
for
piety
,
and
holinesse
,
whom
the
Tyrant
King
laboured
to
withdraw
from
Christ
,
and
his
truth
,
to
the
Arian
Heresie
,
telling
him
,
that
if
he
consented
not
presently
,
he
should
forfeit
his
house
,
his
Lands
,
his
goods
,
his
honours
,
that
his
children
and
servants
should
be
sold
,
that
his
wife
should
be
given
to
one
of
his
basest
slaves
,
&c.
But
when
threats
prevailed
not
,
he
was
cast
into
prison
,
and
when
his
Lady
heard
her
doom
,
she
went
to
him
with
her
garments
rent
,
and
her
hair
disheveled
,
her
children
at
her
heeles
,
and
a
sucking
infant
in
her
armes
,
and
falling
down
at
her
husbands
feet
,
she
took
him
about
the
knees
,
saying
,
Have
compassion
(
O
my
sweetest
)
of
me
thy
poor
wife
,
and
of
these
thy
children
,
look
upon
them
;
let
them
not
be
made
slaves
;
let
not
me
be
yoaked
in
so
base
a
marriage
:
consider
that
which
thou
art
required
to
do
,
thou
doest
it
not
willingly
,
but
art
constrained
thereto
,
and
therefore
it
will
not
be
laid
to
thy
charge
,
&c.
But
this
valiant
Souldier
of
Christ
answered
her
in
the
words
of
Job
:
Thou
speakest
like
a
foolish
woman
;
Thou
actest
the
Devils
part
:
If
thou
truly
lovedst
thy
husband
,
thou
wouldest
never
seek
to
draw
him
to
sin
that
may
separate
him
from
Christ
,
and
expose
him
to
the
second
death
:
Know
assuredly
,
that
I
am
resolved
(
as
my
Saviour
Christ
commands
me
)
to
forsake
wife
,
children
,
house
,
lands
,
&c.
that
so
I
may
enjoy
him
which
is
best
of
all
.
One
Copin
a
Merchant
in
France
was
apprehended
,
and
carried
before
the
Bishop
of
Ast
for
his
bold
asserting
of
the
truth
,
to
whom
the
B.
said
,
that
he
must
either
recant
his
opinions
,
or
be
punished
:
But
Copin
answered
,
that
he
would
maintain
them
with
his
life
:
For
,
saith
he
,
I
have
goods
,
a
wife
,
and
children
,
and
yet
have
I
lost
those
affections
which
I
formerly
bore
to
them
,
neither
are
they
dear
to
me
,
so
I
may
gain
Christ
.

Nero
after
the
murther
of
his
mother
Agrippina
was
so
continually
haunted
with
the
furies
of
his
conscience
,
that
he
alwayes
thought
her
ghost
haunted
him
,
which
no
incantation
,
nor
sacrifices
could
appease
till
his
own
descended
,
so
that
when
he
was
to
leave
this
life
for
a
worse
,
he
cryed
out
,
that
his
mother
,
wife
,
and
father
,
willed
him
to
die
Nero's
life
.
Livius
Drusus
being
to
build
him
a
house
in
the
Palace
at
Rome
:
the
chief
workman
told
him
that
he
would
so
contrive
it
that
none
should
overlook
him
,
nor
see
what
was
done
in
his
house
:
to
whom
Drusus
answered
:

Lipsius

Nicephorus
Phocas
the
Greek
Emperour
having
a
guilty
,
and
hellish
conscience
,
and
fearing
heavens
Justice
for
his
sins
,
caused
his
Palace
at
Constantinople
to
be
made
impregnable
,
and
then
began
to
cast
off
his
fears
:
But
when
he
thought
all
safe
▪
●
voyce
was
heard
,
none
know
from
whom
,
or
whence
,
taxing
his
foolish
confidence
,
and
telling
him
that
though
he
raised
his
walls
as
high
as
heaven
,
yet
as
long
as
wickednesse
dwelt
within
,
there
was
no
safety
to
be
expected
.
In
the
reign
of
Q.
Mary
there
was
one
Ralph
Allerton
who
coming
into
the
Church
of
Bently
in
Essex
,
finding
the
people
idle
,
or
ill
imployed
,
read
a
Chapter
to
them
,
and
prayed
with
them
,
for
which
being
brought
before
Bonner
,
he
by
his
subtile
perswasions
,
and
flatteries
so
prevailed
with
him
that
he
drew
him
to
a
recantation
,
after
which
this
Allerton
was
brought
into
such
bondage
,
and
terrours
of
conscience
,
and
was
so
cast
down
that
if
the
Lord
had
not
looked
mercifully
upon
him
he
had
been
utterly
undone
;
but
,
through
Gods
goodnesse
,
upon
his
unseigned
repentance
he
at
last
recovered
comfort
,
and
gave
his
life
for
the
cause
of
Christ
.
See
my
Eng.
Manyrologie

p.

About
the
same
time
there
was
one
Mr.
Whittle
,
an
Essex
Minister
,
who
being
also
called
before
Bonner
,
by
the
subtile
practices
of
the
B.
and
the
advice
of
some
carnal
friends
set
his
hand
to
a
recantation
;
but
presently
after
he
fell
into
grievous
terrours
of
conscience
whereof
himself
thus
writes
:
After
(
saith
he
)
I
had
done
this
thing
,
I
had
little
joy
of
any
thing
,
my
conscience
telling
me
that
I
had
done
very
ill
by
so
slight
a
means
to
shake
off
the
sweet
Crosse
of
Christ
.
Yea
,
his
terrours
of
conscience
were
so
great
that
he
could
not
sleep
;
whereupon
he
procured
the
writing
,
and
to
are
out
his
name
:
After
which
he
thus
writes
,
Being
condemned
to
die
my
conscience
,
and
mind
,
I
praise
God
,
is
quiet
in
Christ
,
and
I
by
his
grace
,
am
very
willing
,
and
content
to
give
over
this
body
to
death
for
the
testimony
of
Christs
truth
,
and
pure
religion
against
Antichrist
,
&c.

Before
this
in
the
reign
of
King
Henry
the
8
th
.
Mr.
Thomas
Bilney
for
fear
of
Death
was
drawn
to
an
Abjuration
,
after
which
he
fell
into
such
terrours
of
conscience
that
he
was
near
the
point
of
utter
despaire
,
so
that
his
friends
were
fain
to
watch
with
him
night
,
and
day
,
endeavouring
to
comfort
him
,
but
all
in
vain
:
In
this
woful
condition
he
continued
for
the
space
of
a
whole
year
,
and
was
in
such
anguish
that
neither
eating
,
drinking
,
sleeping
,
nor
any
thing
else
did
him
good
:
yea
,
he
thought
that
all
the
Word
of
God
was
against
him
,
and
sounded
his
condemnation
:
But
at
last
,
resolving
through
Gods
Grace
,
to
lay
down
his
life
for
▪
the
truth
,
he
began
to
feel
some
comfort
,
&c.
See
his
Life
in
my
first
Part.
When
Gensericus
K.
of
the
Arian
Vandals
in
Africa
raised
a
Persecution
against
the
Orthodox
,
he
had
such
a
hellish
,
and
guilty
conscience
that
if
any
Minister
in
his
Sermon
did
but
mention
Pharaoh
,
Nebuchadnezzar
,
Herod
,
&c.
he
presently
applyed
it
to
himself
,
and
thereupon
banished
him
.

was
so
haunted
with
the

thought

followed

came

told

that

lifting

O

judge

you

justly
to

that
wronged

But

Plut.
Whilest
Codrus
was
K.
of
Athens
,
the
Peloponesians
,
upon
an
old
grudge
came
with
a
great
Army
against
the
Athenians
,
and
sending
to
the
Oracle
to
know
the
event
of
the
War
;
They
were
answered
,
That
they
should
have
good
successe
if
they
did
not
kill
the
King
of
Athens
:
Whereupon
they
charged
all
their
Souldiers
to
be
sure
not
to
hurt
Codrus
the
King
when
they
came
to
the
battell
:
Codrus
understanding
all
this
,
changed
his
apparel
with
a
common
Souldier
,
and
with
a
Snapsack
on
his
back
he
went
to
the
Peloponesian
Army
,
and
there
picking
a
quarrel
with
one
of
the
Souldiers
,
wounded
him
,
whereupon
the
Souldier
slew
him
,
and
after
his
death
,
being
found
to
be
Codrus
,
the
Peloponesians
returned
back
,
expecting
no
good
successe
:
and
thus
Codrus
out
of
love
to
his
Country
,
voluntarily
dyed
to
deliver
it

and
though
by
his
prudent
and

he
had
gotten
all
the
power
into

yet
he
studied
nothing
more

to

to
shew
himself
subservient

amongst

which

Xerxes
getting
upon

near

,

beholding
the

covered
over
with
his
Ships
,
and
all
the
Plains
filled
with
his
Army
which
consisted
of
above
a
million
of
men
,
thought
himself
a
very
happy
man
,
yet
withal
fell
a
weeping
,
and
being
asked
the
reason
of
it
by
Artabanus
his
Uncle
,
he
answered
;
Considering
with
my self
how
short
the
life
of
man
is
,
I
cannot
but
pity
this
great
multitude
of
gallant
men
of
whom
within
an
hundred
years
there
shall
not
one
be
left
alive

they

attained
true
felicity

dyed
virtuously

Xenophon
.
When
Agesilaus
was
ready
to
dye
,
he
charged
his
friends
that
they
should
neither
make
any
picture
nor
statue
of
him
;
for
,
saith
he
,
If
I
have
done
any
thing
that
is
good
,
that
will
be
my
monument
;
but
if
I
have
done
otherwise
,
all

statues
that
you
can
make
will
not
keep
my
good
name

Democritus
the
Philosopher
as
he
was
travelling
abroad
in

world
came
to
the
Court
of
Darius
King
of

,
whom
he
found
overwhelmed
with
grief
for
the
death
of
one
of
his
most
beautifull
wives
,
to
whom
Democritus
promised
that
he
would
restore
her
to
life
again
if
he
would
provide
him
things
necessary
for
such
a
businesse
:
Darius
much
rejoycing
at
this
promise
,
bade
him
ask
for
whatsoever
he
would
have

told
him

amongst

he
must
have
the
names
of
three
men
that
had
never
met
with
any
sorrow
in

whole

The
King
told
him
that
that
was
impossible
to
be
done

What

fortune
which
is
common
to

A

in

,
being
on
a
time
very
sad
;
His
brother
(
a
jolly
Courtier
)
would
needs
know
on
him
what
ailed
him
:
O
brother
(
said
he
)
I
have
been
a
great
sinner
against
God
,
and
I
know
not
how
to
die
,
nor
to
appear
before
God
in
Judgment
.
These
are
(
said
his
brother
)
melancholy
thoughts
;
and
withal
made
a
jest
at
them
.
The
King
replyed
nothing
for
the
present
:
But
the
custom
of
the
Country
was
,
that
if
the
Executioner
came

sounded
a
Trumpet

any

he
was
presently
to
be

trembling
into

him

had
offended

O

(
replyed
the

you
have
never
offended
me
:
And
is
the

of

so
dreadful

Epiphanius
tells
a
sad
story
of
two
Bishops
,
Milesius
,
and
Peter
Bishop
of
Alexandria
,
both
Professours
,
and
fellow-sufferers
for
the
Christian
faith
:
These
two
men
being
condemned
,
and
sent
to
work
in
the
Mettal-Mines
,
for
a
small
difference
fell
into
so
great
a
Schisme
;
that
they
drew
a
partitian-wall
between
each
other
in
the
Mine
,
and
would
not
hold
Communion
each
with
other
in
the
service
of
Christ
,
for
which
they
both
were
sufferers
:
which
dissension
of
theirs
caused
such
a
rent
in
the
Church
,
that
it
did
more
hurt
then
an
open
Persecution
from
the
enemy
.
How
much
better
did
Bishop
Ridley
,
and
Hooper
,
who
though
in
King
Edward
the
sixth
his
daies
they
had
been
at
great
variance
about
the
Ceremonies
;
yet
when
in
Queen
Maries
Reign
they
were
imprisoned
for
the
same
cause
,
they
forgat
all
former
quarrels
,
loved
,
and
wrote
each
to
other
as
brethren
.
See
Dr.
Ridley's
Life
,
in
my
first
Part.
In
Constantine's
time
the
differences
of
the
Bishops
were
so
many
,
and
so
great
,
that
they
brought
in
whole
bundles
of
Petitions
one
against
another
to
the
Emperour
,
which
he
,
out
of
a
wonderfull
desire
after
peace
,
would
not
so
much
as
read
,
but
burnt
them
all
before
their
faces
.
Aristides
,
and
Themistocles
being
sent
joynt
Ambassadours
to
the
same
City
,
fell
out
by
the
way
.
Aristides
was
stout
enough
,
and
crosse
enough
:
yet
when
he
came
neer
the
City
gates
whither
they
were
sent
,
he
condescended
so
far
as
to
bespeak
Themistocles
in
this
manner
;
Sir
,
you
and
I
are
not
now
at
leisure
thus
to
squabble
:
Let
us
dispatch
our
Countrey
affaires
:
It
will
be
time
enough
to
renew
our
quarrel
when
our
work
is
at
an
end
.
Plut.
Empedocles
was
of
such
a
contentious
disposition
,
that
every
day
he
would
quarrel
with
some
body
or
other
,
and
prosecute
his
contentions
with
much
violence

he
was
by
the
advice

Physicians
sowed
up
in
a

The
Chirurgion
having
made
an
end

sowing
the

,
wanted
a

to
cut
off

thread

took
up
a

stood
by
to
burn
it
off
:
But
the
flame
running

them
:
but
it
fell
out
that
there
were
some
holy
geese
kept
in
Juno's
Temple
,
which
hearing
the
Gaules
began
to
run
upon
and
down
,
and
to
cry
for
fear
,
by
which
noise
the
watch
was
awakened
,
and
by
this
providence
the
foolish
geese
betrayed

turning

Wife

so
that
at

then
he
joyned
with

brings

then

Lipsius

Leontius
the
Athenian
Philosopher
had
a
daughter
called
Athenais
,
who
was
very
beautiful
and
witty
:
and
therefore
the
old
man
on
his
death-bed
divided
his
estate
amongst
his
Sons
,
leaving
her
onely
a
small
Legacy
:
Hereupon
she
went
to
Law
with
her
Brothers
hoping
to
recover
more
of
them
,
but
being
overthrown
in
the
suit
,
she
went
to
Constantinople
;
there
she
insinuated
her self
into
the
acquaintance
of
Pulcheria
the
Emperours
Sister
,
who
enquiring
whether
she
was
a
Virgin
,
brought
her
into
the
Court
,
caused
her
to
be
instructed
in
the
Principles
of
Christianity
,
and
Baptized
,
giving
her
the
name
of
Eudocia
:
and
took
such
a
liking
to
her
,
that
she
prevailed
with
her
brother
Theodosius
to
take
her
to
wife
:
long
she
continued
in
that
happy
condition
;
but
at
length
fell
into
suspicion
upon
this
occasion
:
One
presented
the
Emperour
Theodosius
with
an
apple
of
an
extraordinary
greatnesse
,
which
for
the
rarity
of
it
he
sent
to
his
wife
Eudocia
:
she
presently
gave
it
to
Paulinus
,
a
facetious
,
and
learned
man
:
he
knowing
nothing
whence
it
came
,
again
presented
it
to
the
Emperour
;
the
Emperour
marking
it
well
,
knew
that
it
was
the
same
which
he
had
sent
to
his
wife
:
hereupon
he
goes
to
her
,
and
asks
her
for
the
apple
he
sent
her
,
she
rashly
affirms
,
that
she
had
eaten
it
:
he
asks
again
more
earnestly
,
and
she
affirms
the
same
with
an
oath
:
Then
the
Emperour
being
very
angry
produceth
the
apple
;
and
suspecting
that
Paulinus
was
too
familiar
with
his
wife
,
he
causeth
him
to
be
slain
;
and
divorceth
his
wife
:
she
hereupon
went
to
Hierusalem
where
she
led
the
remainder
of
her
life
holily
,
and
chastly
.

the

For
the
confirming

sends

he
comes
upon

had
concluded

Natholicus
the
31th
.
King
of
the
Scots
,
who
had
usurped
the
Crown
,
sent
a
trusty
friend
to
a
famous
Witch
to
know
what
successe
he
should
have
in
his
Kingdom
?
and
how
long
he
should
live
?
The
Witch
answered
,
that
he
should
shortly
be
murthered
,
not
by
an
enemy
,
but
by
his
friend
.
The
Messenger
instantly
inquired
by
what
friend
?
By
thy
self
said
the
Witch
.
The
Messenger
at
first
abhorred
the
thought
of
any
such
villainy
:
but
afterwards
considering
that
it
was
not
safe
to
reveal
the
Witches
answer
,
and
yet
that
it
could
not
be
concealed
,
he
resolved
rather
to
kill
the
King
to
the
content
of
many
,
then
to
hazard
the
losse
of
his
own
head
:
Thereupon
at
his
return
,
being
in
secret
with
the
King
,
to
declare
to
him
the
Witches
answer
,
he
suddenly
slew

him
away

The
Lord
of
Orue

ANno
Christi

in
a
Synod
held
by
the
Popish
Clergy
at
Paris
in
France
,
there
was
one
appointed
to
make
a
Sermon
,
who
as
he
was
walking
abroad
,
and
meditating
upon
what
subject
to
preach
,
the
Devil
appeared
to
him
,
asking
him
what
he
needed
to
be
so
solicitous
about
that
matter
:
Say
(
saith
he
)
in
thy
Sermon
,
The
Princes
of
hell
salute
you
,
O
ye
Princes
of
the
Church
,
and
gladly
give
you
thanks
,
for
that
through
your
default
,
and
negligence
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
so
many
soules
come
down
to
hell
.
Adding
,
that
he
was
enforced
by
God
to
declare
the
same
:
Yea
,
and
he
gave
this
Priest
a
certain
token
,
whereby
the
Synod
might
evidently
see
that
he
did
not
lie
.
On
a
time
as
Luther
was
walking
in
his
garden
,
the
Devil
appeared
to
him
in
the
likenesse
of
a
black
Boar
:
But
Luther
sleighting
,
and
not
regarding
him
,
he
vanished
away
.

Luther
telleth
us
,
that
when
he
was
lodged
in
the
Castle
of
Wartzhurg
in
a
Chamber
far
from
any
company
,
he
was
many
times
molested
by
noises
made
by
the
Devil
in
his
Chamber
,
and
on
his
staires
:
but
I
(
saith
he
)
encountred
him
with
that
sentence
,
Omnia
subjecisti
pedibus
ejus
,
Thou
hast
put
all
things
in
subjection
under
his
feet
:
and
so
I
laid
me
down
,
and
slept
in
safety

Another
of
the
German
Divines
in
Luther's
time
as
he
was
sitting
at
his
book
in
his
study
,
the
Devil
appeared
,
looking
over
his
shoulder
,
which
the
Minister
perceiving
,
took
a
piece
of
paper
,
and
wrote
in
it
,
The
Son
of
God
came
to
dissolve
the
works
of
the
Devil
:
and
so
holding
up
that
paper
to
the
Devil
,
he
vanished
.
Senerclaus
tells
of
a
plain
Countrey
man
at
Friburg
in
Germany
,
to
whom
,
as
he
lay
on
his
death-bed
,
the
Devil
appeared
in
the
shape
of
a
tall
,
and
grimme
man
,
claiming
his
soul
,
saying
,
Thou
hast
been
a
notorious
sinner
,
and
I
am
now
come
to
set
down
all
thy
sins
,
and
thereupon
drew
out
paper
and
ink
,
and
sitting
down
at
a
Table
that
stood
by
,
began
to
write
.
The
sick
man
said
;
My
soul
is
Christs
,
and
all
my
sins
were
nailed
to
his
Crosse
;
But
if
thou
desirest
to
set
down
my
sins
,
write
thus
:
All
our
righteousnesses
are
as
filthy
rags
.
The
Devil
set
that
down
,
and
bade
him
say
on
.
He
did
;
But
thou
,
Lord
,
hast
promised
for
thine
own
Names
sake
to
blot
out
all
our
iniquities
:
And
to
make
our
scarlet
sins
white
as
snow
.
The
Devill
would
not
write
these
words
,
but
was
earnest
with
the
man
to
go
on
in
his
former
confession
.
Then
said
the
sick
man
with
great
cheerfulnesse
;
The
Son
of
God
appeared
to
destroy
the
works
of
the
Devil
:
whereupon
the
Devil
vanished
,
and
shortly
after
the
sick
man
dyed
.
Mr.
White
of
Dorchester
being
a
member
of
the
Assembly
of
Divines
was
appointed
Minister
of
Lambeth
;
but
for
the
present
could
get
no
convenient
house
to
dwell
in
,
but
one
that
was
possessed
by
the
Devil
:
This
he
took
;
and
not
long
after
his
maid
sitting
up
late
,
the
Devil
appeared
to
her
,
whereupon
in
a
great
fright
she
ran
up
to
tell
her
Master
;
He
bid
her
get
to
bed
,
saying
;
She
was
well
served
for
sitting
up
so
late
:
Presently
after
the
Devil
appeared
to
Mr.
White
himself
standing
at
his
beds
feet
:
To
whom
Mr.
White
said
;
If
thou
hast
nothing
else
to
do
▪
thou
mayest
stand
there
still
;
And
I
will
betake
my self
to
my
rest
:
and
accordingly
composing
himself
to
sleep
,
the
Devill
vanished
.
Not
long
since
at
Stetin
a
University
in
Pomerania
there
was
a
young
Student
,
that
upon
some
discontent
gave
himself
to
the
Devil
,
and
made
a
bond
upon
the
Contract
,
which
,
that
it
might
not
come
to
the
knowledge
of
any
,
he
laid
up
in
one
of
his
books
:
But
it
pleased
God
some
time
after
,
that
another
Student
wanting
that
book
upon
some
occasion
knew
not
where
to
get
it
:
at
last
he
remembred
that
such
an
one
had
it
,
whereupon
he
went
to
him
,
and
borrowed
it
of
him
,
the
young
man
having
forgotten
that
he
had
put
this
bond
into
it
.
The
other
when
he
came
home
,
began
to
turn
over
the
book
,
and
there
met
with
the
bond
,
and
reading
of
it
was
much
affrighted
,
and
not
knowing
what
to
do
,
he
went
to
Dr.
Cramerus
a
Professor
of
Divinity
in
that
University
,
to
ask
his
advice
,
who
wished
him
to
keep
the
bond
:
the
other
replied
that
he
durst
not
;
Then
said
the
Dr.
bring
it
to
me
,
and
I
will
keep
it
.
Some
few
nights
after
as
the
Dr.
was
in
his
study
,
the
Devill
came
rapping
at
his
study
door
,
saying
,
Cramer
,
Cramer
,
give
me
by
bond
,
for
it
belongs
to
me
,
and
thou
hast
nothing
to
do
with
it
.
To
whom
the
Dr.
answered
;
Satan
,
Satan
,
thou
shalt
not
have
the
bond
,
thou
hast
nothing
to
do
with
it
,
I
have
put
it
where
thou
canst
not
fetch
it
;
For
it
is
in
my
Bible
at
the
third
Chapter
of
Genesis
;
where
these
words
are
,
The
seed
of
the
woman
shall
break

head

way

Comment
.
Anno
Christi
1653.
about
the
moneth
of
October
,
came
some
Quakers
out
of
the
North
into
Wales
about
V●rexham
,
endeavouring
to
winne
some
professours
to
their
party
:
Their
principal
design
was
to
disgrace
the
Ministry
,
and
all
publick
Ordinances
.
They
held
universal
Redemption
,
Free-will
,
and
falling
from
Grace
:
they
published
that
all
men
have
the
pure
seed
of
God
in
them
:
boasting
that
themselves
were
perfect
,
and
without
sin
:
that
they
knew
at
the
first
sight
sincere
Christians
from
hypocrites
.
At
their
meetings
after
long
silence
,
sometimes
one
,
sometimes
more
fell
into
a
great
and
dreadfull
shaking
,
and
trembling
in
their
whole
bodies
,
and
all
their
joynts
with
such
risings
,
and
swellings
in
their
bellies
,
and
bowels
,
sending
forth
such
shreekings
,
yellings
,
howlings
,
and
roarings
,
as
not
onely
affrighted
the
spectators
,
but
caused
the
Dogs
to
bark
,
the
swine
to
cry
,
and
the
Cattell
to
run
about
,
to
the
astonishment
of
all
that
heard
them
.
By
these
artifices
one
William
Spencer
was
drawn
by
them
to
leave
the
Church
,
and
to
follow
them
,
whereupon
at
several
times
he
fell
into
the
same
quaking
fits
:
And
lying
with
one
of
them
three
severall
nights
;
the
last
night
being
much
troubled
,
and
not
able
to
sleep
,
upon
a
sudden
he
heard
something
buzzing
,
and
humming
about
the
Quakers
head
like
an
humble
Bee
,
which
did
sore
affright
him
,
whereupon
he
sought
to
rise
:
but
the
Quaker
perswaded
him
to
lie
still
:
and
immediately
there
arose
a
great
wind
,
and
storm
,
which
shook
the
house
wherein
they
lay
:
which
adding
much
to
his
former
fear
,
he
again
attempted
to
arise
:
but
the
Quaker
still
pressed
him
to
lie
still
,
perswading
him
to
expect
the
Power
to
come
(
which
they
often
promise
to
their
Proselytes
,
)
and
thereupon
he
again
heard
the
former
humming
noise
which
more
and
more
terrified
him
,
so
that
he
strove
vehemently
to
rise
,
but
the
Quaker
laid
his
head

Tiberius
Caesar
when
the
Empire
was
first
proffered
to
him
,
seemed
very
shie
in
accepting
of
it
,
whereupon
one
noting
his
dissimulation
said
to
him
:
Other

are
slow

perform

that

said

excelled

afterwards
laying

he
proved

Charles

of

used

Richard
Duke
of
Gloucester
was
so
cunning
a
dissembler
that
he
would
accompany
most
familiarly
,
and
jest
pleasantly
with
such
as
he
hated
in
his
heart
:
He
made
his
conscience
in
all
things
serve
his
will
,
though
his
will
could
not
be
obtained
without
the
effusion
of
guiltlesse
blood
:
when
he
had
murthered
King
Edward
the
5th
.
his
Nephew
,
and
his
Brother
in
the
Tower
,
and
had
cut
off
the
heads
of
some
of
the
Lords
that
stood
in
his
way
,
he
suborned
one
Dr.
Shaw
in
a
Sermon
at
Pauls
Crosse
to
blazon
his
honourable
Birth
,
and
Parentage
,
to
relate
his
Virtues
,
to
commend
his
Valour
,
to
weaken
the
fame
,
and
honour
of
the
deceased
King
Edward
by
reason
of
his
lasciviousnesse
with
Shores
Wife
,
to
basterdize
all
his
children
as
being
born
in
Adultery
,
&c.
and
applying
his
speech
to
the
worthinesse
,
and
goodnesse
of
Richard
,
he
took
it
for
granted
that
the
people
could
not
choose
but
receive
him
for
their
undoubted
Sovereign
,
and
King
,
and
so
he
strove
to
have
prepared
the
multitude
to
have
shouted
when
Richard
came
in
,
and
to
have
cryed
,
King
Richard
,
King
Richard
:
but
he
failed
of
his
purpose
,
for
every
man
was
silent
,
and
more
surprised
with
wonder
then
with
applause
,
to
see
how
wickedly
these
businesses
were
carried
on
.
The
next
day
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
went
to
Guildhall
in
London
,
and
there
to
the
Citizens
endeavoured
by
like
arguments
to
make
Richard
the
Protector
the
right
,
and
undoubted
heire
,
and
inheriter
of
the
Crown
,
and
though
the
people
took
no
content
in
this
speech
,
nor
by
their
voyces
assented
to
that
which
was
delivered
,
yet
he
procured
the
Lord
Major
,
and
Aldermen
the
next
day
to
go
with
him
,
and
many
other
Lords
to
Bainard's
Castle
to
the
Protector
,
where
they
offered
him
to
receive
him
for
their
lawfull
King
,
intreating
him
to
accept
of
the
burden
:
But
oft-times
he
refused
to
grant
their
request
:
yet
at
last
(
seeming
to
be
overcome
by
their
importunity
)
he
assented
:
and
thus
by
their
perswasions
he
gained
his
own
hearts
desire

Themistocles
did
so
envy
Aristides
for
that
favour
which
he
found
in
Athens
,
that
when
he
had
no
other
exceptions
against
him
,
he
suggested
to
the
people
,
that
Aristides
by
his
just
and
upright
dealing
engrossed
all
matters
of
Judicature
into
his
own
hands
,
and
thereby
affected
the
sole
power
,
and
overthrow
of
all
their
other
Tribunals
,
for
which
he
caused
him
to
be
banished
.
Plut.
Their
banishment
was
called
Ostracisme
,
and
the
manner
was
thus
;
Every
Citizen
was
to
write
his
name
in
a
shell
whom
he
would
have
banished
,
and
if
6000
did
not
concur
in
their
judgments
,
there
could
be
no
Ostracisme
:
Now
when
Aristides
was
to
be
banished
,
a
certain
illiterate
Citizen
met
him
in
the
street
,
and
because
he
could
not
write
himself
,
desired
him
to
set
down
Aristides
his
name
in
his
shell
:
Aristides
wondring
at
it
,
asked
him
whether
he
had
ever
suffered
any
wrong
from
Aristides
,
or
whether
he
knew
him
if
he
saw
him
?
No
,
said
the
other
,
I
know
him
not
,
neither
did
he
ever
wrong
me
,
but
yet
I
envy
him
because
her
hath
gotten
the
sirname
of
Just.
Aristides
wondring
at
it
,
took
the
mans
shell
,
wrote
down
his
own
name
,
and
so
delivered
it
,
never
discovering
himself
to
him
.

Two

being

in

lodged
at
the
house
of
one
Scedasus
in

,
a
good
man
,

given
much
to
hospitality
:
this
Scedasus
had
two

beautifull

upon

cast
wanton

into

house

home

maids

into

so
departed

Not
long
after

came
home
,

missing
his
daughters
,
looked
up
,

down
for
them
;
at
last

came
whining

him

ran
out

doors

him

did
,
and
the
dog
brought
him
to
the
pit
into
which
they
were
thrown
,
whence
he
drew
them
out
,
and
hearing
by
his
neighbours
that
those
two
men
had
been
again
at
his
house
,
he
concluded
that
they
were
the
murtherers
,

therefore
went
to
Lacedaemon

to
complain
to
the
Magistrates
of
that
barbarous
cruelty

made

first

complained
to

people

finding
no
redresse
,
he
with
hands
lift
up
to
heaven
complained
to
the
gods
,

then
stabbed
himself
:

left
not
this
wickednesse

this
she

brought
before

asked

The
Jewes
which
crucified
the
Lord
of
life
,
and
wished
that
his
blood
might
be
upon
them
,
and
their
children
,
presently
after
,
through
the
just
Judgment
of
God
,
had
blood
to
drink
in
full
measure
:
For
besides
their
afflictions
in
divers
Countries
,
being
tossed
up
,
and
down
by
the
Deputies
of
the
Romans
;
There
were
slain
in
Caesarea
20000
in
one
day
.
At
Alexandria
50000
another
day
:
At
Zabulon
,
and
Joppa
8400
,
besides
the
burning
of
the
Townes
.
At
Damascus
10000
had
their
throats
cut
.
In
the
siege
of
Hierusalem
they
were
so
famished
,
that
Oxens
dung
was
accounted
good
meat
:
Others
fed
upon
old
leather
,
and
some
women
boiled
their
own
children
,
and
did
eat
them
.
Many
thinking
to
save
their
lives
by
flying
to
the
Romans
were
slit
in
pieces
to
search
for
gold
,
and
Jewels
in
their
guts
:
two
thousand
dyed
thus
miserably
in
one
night
:
97000
were
taken
prisoners
at
the
taking
of
the
City
by
Titus
:
eleven
hundred
thousand
were
slain
.
As
for
the
prisoners
some
of
them
were
carried
to
Rome
in
triumph
.
Others
were
slain
in
sundry
places
at
the
Conquerers
will
:
Some
were
torn
in
pieces
,
and
devoured
by
wild
beasts
:
Others
were
compelled
to
march
in
Troops
against
their
fellowes
,
and
to
kill
one
another
to
make
the
spectators
sport
.
The
reliques
of
these
wretched
people
were
dispersed
into
all
Nations
under
heaven
,
having
no
Magistrates
of
their
own
to
protect
them
,
but
were
,
and
still
are
altogether
at
the
will
,
and
discretion
of
the
Lords
of
those
Countries
where
they
sojourn
:
so
that
no
Nation
in
the
world
is
so
vile
,
and
contemptible
as
the
Jewes
.
In
the
time
of
Julian
the
Apostate
he
gave
leave
to
the
Jewes
to
re-build
the
Temple
at
Jerusalem
;
but
so
soon
as
they
had
laid
the
foundations
thereof
,
all
was
overthrown
by
an
earthquake
,
many
thousands
of
them
being
overwhelmed
with
the
mines
;
and
those
which
were
left
,
were
slain
,
and
scattered
by
a
tempest
,
and
thunder
.
The
Jewes
at
Imnester
near
Antioch
celebrating
their
accustomed
Playes
,
and
Feasts
,
in
the
middest
of
their
jollity
according
to
their
custome
,
they
reviled
Christ
,
and
in
contempt
to
him
,
gat
a
Christian's
child
,
and
hung
him
upon
a
Crosse
,
and
after
many
mocks
,
and
taunts
whipt
him
to
death
.
So
also
they
served
a
boy
called
Simeon
,
Anno
Christi
1476.
And
another
in
Fretulium
five
years
after
.
At
another
time
they
took
a
Carpenters
sonne
in
Hungary
,
in
contempt
of
Christ
,
whom
they
called
the
son
of
a
Carpenter
,
and
cutting
all
his
veines
sucked
out
all
his
blood
with
quills
:
And
being
apprehended
and
tortured
,
they
confessed
that
they
had
done
the
like
at
Thirna
four
years
before
,
and
that
they
could
not
be
without
Christian
blood
,
for
that
therewith
they
anointed
their
Priests
:
But
at
all
these
times
their
wickednesse
being
discovered
,
they
suffered
just
punishment
,
by
hanging
,
burning
,
or
some
other
cruel
death
.
Anno
Christi
1492.
one
Eleazar
a
Jew
bought
the
holy
Host
of
a
Popish
Priest
,
and
most
despightfully
thrust
it
through
with
his
knife
,
for
which
he
was
burned
;
and
the
like
have
others
of
them
done
at
several
times
.

Anno
Christi
1407.
a
Jew
stole
the
picture
of
Christ
out
of
a
Church
,
and
chrust
it
in
contempt
many
times
thorow
with
his
sword
,
out
of
which
when
blood
miraculously
issued
,
the
caitiffe
would
have
burned
it
:
but
being
taken
in
the

The
Jewes
whilest
they
were
suffered
to
live
here
in
England
,
used
every
year
to
steal
some
Christian's
child
,
and
on

to
crucifie
him
in

of
Christ
,
and

Anno

under

Henry

:
And
another
at
Norwich
,
having
first
circumcised
him
,
and
kept
him
a
whole
year
:
For
which
being
apprehended
thirty
two
of
them
were
put
to
death
at
Lincoln
,
and
twenty
at
Norwich
:
Others
of
them
being
besieged
at
York
when
they
could
hold
out
no

,
cut
their
own
throats
,
whereby
fifteen
hundred
of
them
perished
at

At

many
of
them
were
burnt
for
attempting
to
set
the
City
on

with
wildfire
:
And
at
last
for
their
many
wicked
practices
,
they
were
utterly
banished

of
England
by
King
Edward
the

Anno

He
turneth
a
fruitful
Land
into
barrennesse
,
for
the
wickednesse
of
them
that
dwell
therein
.
In
the
Reign
of
Adrianus
the
Emperour
,
he
sent
Severus
his
General
against
the
Jewes
,
who
by
reason
of
their
multitudes
would
not
try
it
out
in
a
set
battel
,
but
proceeding
more
warily
,
and
taking
his
opportunitie
,
he
by
degrees
took
fifty
of
their
fortified
Castles
,
rased
nine
hundred
,
and
fourscore
of
their
best
Townes
,
and
slew
five
hundred
,
and
eighty
thousand
of
their
men
:
besides
innumerable
multitudes
which
perished
by
famine
,
sicknesse
,
and
fire
:
so
that
almost
all
Judaea
was
left
destitute
:
and
Adrian
by
an
Edict
prohibited
the
Jewes
from
coming
neer
to
Hierusalem
,
or
once
from
any
high
place
to
look
towards
the
same
,
or
the
Region
adjoyning
.
Dion
.
Salmanticensis
saith
,
that
there
was
a
decree
made
at
Rome
,
that
no
Jew
should
ever
enter
Cyprus
(
the
place
where
their
rebellion
began
)
and
that
Adrian
destroyed
twice
as
many
Jewes
as
Moses
brought
out
of
Egypt
:
He
rased
Hierusalem
,
and
not
far
from
it
built
another
City
(
the
now
Hierusalem
)
and
called
it
after
his
own
name
AElia
.
And
over
the
gate
of
this
City
he
placed
the
Statues
of
swine
,
which
were
faithful
Porters
to
prohibit
the
superstitious
Iewes
from
entrance
.
This
was
about
the
year
135.
St.
Hierom
tells
us
,
that
in
his
time
on
that
day
wherein
Hierusalem
was
taken
by
the
Romans
,
you
may
see
decrepit
women
,
and
old
ragged
men
,
and
many
wretched
people
(
but
pitied
of
none
)
with
blubbered
cheeks
,
black
armes
,
dishevelled
hair
,
howling
,
and
lamenting
for
the
ruines
of
their
Sanctuary
,
in
their
bodies
,
and
habits
bearing
,
and
wearing
●he
sad
characters
of
Divine
vengeance
,
of
whom
the
Souldiers
also
exact
their
fee
,
for
liberty
of
further
weeping
:
so
that
they
which
formerly
sold
the
blood
of
Christ
,
are
now
fain
to
buy
their
own
teares
.
In
the
Reign
of
Trajan
(
Adrian's
predecessour
)
the
Jewes
rebelled
in
Egypt
,
and
Cyrene
,
where
they
slew
many
Greeks
,
and
Romans
,
did
eat
their
flesh
,
girt
themselves
with
their
guts
,
imbrewed
themselves
with
their
blood
,
and
clothed
themselves
with
their
skins
:
many
they
sawed
in
sunder
from
the
Crown
downwards
,
many
they
cast
to
the
Beasts
,
&c.
Hereupon
Trajan
sent
against
them
Martius
Turbo
,
who
destroved
many
thousands
of
them
:
and
fearing
lest
the
Jewes
in
Mesopotamia
should
break
out
into
the
like
outrages
,
he
commanded
Lucius
Quietus
to
destroy
them
utterly
,
who
so
diligently
executed
his
will
▪
that
the
Emperour
to
recompence
his
service
made
him
President
of
Judea
.
Dion
.
In
Creet
there
arose
amongst
them
a
false
Prophet
that
affirmed
himself
to
be
Moses
that
led
the
Israelites
through
the
Red-sea
,
telling
them
that
he
was
come
to
lead
them
through
the
Sea
into
the
holy
Land
:
Thus
for
a
whole
year
he
went
from
City
to
City
amongst
them
,
perswading
them
to
leave
their
riches
to
any
that
would
take
them
,
and
to
follow
him
;
and
at
a
day
appointed
he
went
before
them
to
a
Promontorie
of
the
Sea
,
and
there
bidsthem
leap
in
,
which
many
doing
perished
in
the
waves
,
and
more
would
have
done
but
that
some
Christian
Merchants
,
and
Mariners
saved
some
,
and
stayed
the
madnesse
of
others
:
But
when
the
Iews
sought
to
revenge
themselves
on
this
counterfeit
Moses
,
he
could
no
where
be
found
,
and
thereupon
they
concluded
him
to
be
the
Devil
in
humane
shape
that
thus
sought

destruction

Much
question
there
is
about
the
beginning
of
Idolatry
:
These
three
causes
seem
not
improbable
:
When
a
father
mourned
grievously
for
his
son
taken
away
by
immature
death
,
he
made
his
Image
,
which
in
processe
of
time
was
worshipped
as
a
god
;
and
served
with
Ceremonies
,
and
Sacrifices
.
The
people
made
the
Images
of
great
Tyrants
,
and
honoured
them
,
that
so
they
might
by
this
flattery
live
the
more
peaceably
under
them
.
The
ambitious
skill
of
the
workman
,
that
through
the
beauty
of
the
work
the
multitude
being
allured
,
took
him
for
a
god
,
that
a
little
before
was
honoured
but
as
a
man
.
Lactantius
saith
,
That
when
Noah
cast
off
his
son
Cham
for
his
wickednesse
.
he
went
into
Canaan
,
and
his
posterity
being
ignorant
of
God
,
because
their
Founder
or
Prince
received
not
of
his
father
rules
for
Gods
worship
,
quickly
sell
to
Idolatry
:
The
Egyptians
being
not
covered
with
houses
by
reason
of
the
temperate
ayr
,
observing
the
motions
of
the
stars
,
whilest
they
often
viewed
them
more
curiously
fell
to
worship
them
:
After
which
they
invented
monstrous
shapes
of
Beasts
,
and
worshipped
them
:
Others
scattered
into
other
regious
,
admiring
the
Heavens
,
Sun
,
Moon
,
Earth
,
Sea
,
without
Images
,
or
Temples
worshipped
them
.
and
sacrificed
to
them
,
till
afterwards
they
erected
Temples
,
and
Images
to
their
most
puissant
Kings
,
and
ordained
to
them
sacrifices
,
and
Incense
,

The

Nations

the

even
the

of

creatures

asked
him
why
he
appointed
such

Alexander
the
Great
,
having
taken
the
Kingdome
of
Sidon
,
gave
it
to
Hephaestion
to
dispose
of
it
to
whom
he
pleased
:
Hephaestion
to
shew
his
gratitude
proffered
it
to
his
host
with
whom
he
quartered
;
but
he
,
not
being
of
the
Kingly
family
,
refused
it
,
saying
;
It
is
not
our
Countrey
fashion
that
any
one
should
be
King
,
but
such
as
are
of
the
King's
line
:
and
such
an
one
,
saith
he
,
lives
hard
by
,
a
good
and
a
wise
man
,
but
very
poor
,
and
one
that
lives
by
his
hard
labour
:
then
Hephaestion
,
taking
Kingly
apparrel
with
him
,
went
to
this
poor
man
,
and
saluted
him
King
,
bidding
him
wash
off
his
dirt
,
and
put
off
his
rags
,
and
put
on
that
Kingly
apparel
:
the
poor
mans
name
was
Abdolonimus
,
who
thought
he
had
been
in
a
dream
,
but
being
by
the
standers
by
washed
,
and
adorned
,
Hephaestion
led
him
into
the
Palace
,
saying
,
When
thou
sittest
on
thy
Throne
,
and
hast
power
over
the

of
all
thy

,
forget
not
thy

Alexander
hearing
of
it
,
sent
for
him
,
and
asked
him
with
what
patience
he
being
of
such
a
noble
extraction
,
could
bear
his
former
poverty
?
To
whom
Abdolonimus
answered
;
I
pray
God
that
I
may
bear
the
Kingdome
with
the
same
mind
;
for
,
said
he
,
these
hands
provided
for
my
necessity
,
and
as
I
had
nothing
,
so
I
wanted
nothing

Plut.
The
Romans
having
taken
the
rich
City
of
Veia
,
decreed
out
of
the
spoiles
to
make
,
and
send
a
Cup
of

gold
to

at

;
but
when

gold
was
found
in

the
Souldiers
having
embezelled
it
,
the
Roman
wives
voluntarily
out
of
their
devotion
brought
in
all
their
Jewels
,
with
which
they
made
a
cup
that
weighed
eight
Talents
,
in

whereof
the

ordained
that

should
be
openly
praised
in

was

reliques
,
caused
his

,
and
children
to
alight
,
and
threw
his
goods
out
of

,
which
he
gave
to
the
Vestals
,
choosing
rather
to
hazard
the
losse
of
all
that
was
dear
to
him
,
then
that
those
holy
things
should
miscarry
.

so
carefull
of

thought
themselves
more
secure
thereby

if

Learned
Gerard
tells
us
of
a
certain
woman
called
Thoda
in
Suevia
in
Germany
,
who
Anno
Christi
848.
Prophesied
that
that
year
the
world
should
end
,
which
(
as
she
said
)
was
revealed
to
her
by
an
Angel
.
Anno
Christi
1526.
there
was
an
Anabaptist
that
ran
up
,
and
down
the
streets
in
the
City
of
St.
Gallus
in
Helvetia
,
crying
with
horrid
gestures
,
that
the
day
of
the
Lord
was
come
;
that
it
was
present
.
And
Anno
Christi
1530.
upon
the
like
Prophecie
another
so
strongly
prevailed
with
some
,
that
he
perswaded
them
the
last
year
of
the
world
was
come
:
whereupon
they
grew
prodigal
of
their
goods
,
and
substance
,
fearing
that
they
should
scarcely
spend
them
in
so
short
a
time
as
the
world
was
to
continue
.
An
unknown
woman
came
to
Tarquinius
Superbus
in
Rome
,
and
proffered
him
the
nine
books
of
the
Sybils
Prophecies
at
a
very
great
rate
,
which
he
refused
to
give
her
:
She
burned
three
of
them
,
and
offered
him
the
other
six
at
the
same
rate
,
but
he
refused
again
;
whereupon
she
burnt
other
three
,
and
asked
him
the
same
rate
for
the
three
remaining
:
which
he
then
bought
,
and
layed
them
up
in
the
Capitol
,
where
they
continued
as
Oracles
,
till

five

fiery
shaking
sword

with
the
hilt
upwards
towards

the
point
downwards

the
Sword
was
of
a
great
length
,
shaking
hither

thither
,
and
comming
lower
towards
the

:
There
was
a
long
flame
of
fire
towards

point
,
sparkling
,
and
flaming
in

At

closing

the
Sword
vanished

the
fire
fell
to
the

and
ran
upon
the

The
Romans
punished
a
young
man
that
was
seen
looking
out
at
a
window
with
a
Crown
of
Roses
upon
his
head
in
the
time
of
a
publick
calamity
.
At
a
time
in
Athens
strange
Prodigies
were
seen
,
and
the
Prognosticators
told
the
people
,
that
they
perceived
by
their
sacrifices
that
the
City
was
defiled
with
some
abominable
and
filthy
thing
:
Hereupon
they
sent
to
Crete
for
Epimenides
,
an
holy
,
and
devout
man
,
and
one
who
was
esteemed
a
Prophet
.
He
being
come
,
taught
them
to
make
their
Sacrifices
with
lesse
cost
,
whereby
they
were
more
frequent
.
He
taught
them
to
pray
daily
to
the
gods
,
to
mourn
moderately
for
the
dead
,
&c.
and
so
brought
them
by
degrces
to
much
holinesse
,
and
devotion
,
to
much
justice
,
and
unity
amongst
themselves
;
by
which
means
for
a
time
they
enjoyed
great
tranquillity
.
Plut.
Alexanders
Macedonians
being
sensible
of
his
displeasure
,
laid
by
their
Armes
,
put
on
mourning
apparel
,
came
running
in
Troops
to
his
Tent
,
where
for
almost
three
daies
together
they
remained
with
loud
cryes
,
and
abundance
of
teares
,
testifying
their
remorse
for
offending
him
,
and
beseeching
his
pardon
,
which
at
last
they
obtained
.
How
much
more
should
we
repent
of
,
and
mourn
for
offending
God
,
and
implore
his
pardon

and
that
both
for

as

and

These
are
the
very
sentences
,
yea
notions
,
that
were
writien
of
old
in
the
mind
of
God
,
and
are
now
clothed
with
his
own
very
terms
,
and
expressions
:
though
by
some
of
his

he
hath
uttered
himself
more
loftily
,
by
some
in
a
lower
Language
,
according
to
the
several
abilities
of
the
speakers
,
and
capacity
of
the
hearers
.
Arguments
à
posteriori
to
prove
the
Divinity
of
the
Scriptures
are
:
The
venerable
antiquity
,
matchlesse
majesty
,
lively
efficacy
,
beautiful
harmony
,
incorrigible
purity
,
invincible
perennity
,
and
continuance
of
them
,
mauger
the
injury
,
and
iniquity
of
times
,
and
Tyrants
who
have
sought
to
suppressc
them
:
Besides
the
confirmation
by
Miracles
,
confession
of
Martyrs
,
destruction
of
oppugners
,
fulfilling
of
Prophecies
,
consent
of

,
yea
,
assent
of

:
As
first
,
of
Hereticks
,
who
in

of

do
yet
alledge
Scripture
to
their
own
utter
destruction
,

,
of

Gods
Library-keepers

Many
Heathens
have
sealed
to
the
truth
of
the
Scripture
by
their
testimonies
,
and
confirmed
them
to
be
Divine
.
Porphyry
testifieth
that
Moses
hath
written
the
History
of
the
Law
truly
.
Numenius
the
Pythagorist
recites
Moses's
History
almost
word
for
word
,
testifying
that
he
was
a
great
Divine
:
But
we
have
better
testimonies
,
both
outward
and
inward
.
That
without
us
is
:
First
,
The
Scripture
testifying
of
it self
,
and
we
know
its
testimony
is
true
,
because
it
's
the
Word
of
that
God
that
can
as
soon
die
as
lie
:
Hence
Moses
so
often
saith
;
I
am
the
Lord
:
And
the
Prophets
,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
:
The
Evangelists
,
Jesus
said
:
The
Apostles
,
I
have
received
of
the
Lord
that
which
I
delivered
unto
you
.
The
truth
is
,
the
best
proof
of
the
Scripture
is
to
be
fetched
out
of
it self
,
whence
also
it
's
called
Light
,
Psal.
119.
105.
because
it
discovers
it self
:
and
the
Testimony
of
the
Lord
,
because
it
beares
witnesse
to
it self
:
and
this
it
doth
not
authoritativè
onely
,
by
an
inartificial
argument
,
but
ratiocinativè
,
by
sound
reasons
,
whether
we
look
to
the
Pen-men
of
the
Scripture
,
the
subject
matter
of
the
Scripture
,
or
the
admirable
effects
thereof
.
The
Pen-men
(
besides
their
divine
vocation
,
mission
,
and
inspiration
)
were
plain
men
,
poor
men
,
shepherds
,
neat-herds
,
fishers
,
Publicans
,
&c.
neither
eloquent
Orators
,
nor
cunning
headed
Politicians
to
art
out
an
Imposture
,
nor
witty
enough
to
deceive
,

Adde
hereunto
their
impartial
faithfulnesse
in
relating
the
naked
truth
,
though
to
the
discredit
(
as
it
might
seem
)
of
themselves
,
and
their
best
friends
.
Moses
repeats
the
sin
and
doom
of
his
grandfather
Levi
:
of
his
brother
A●ron
,
and
sister
Miriam
,
nay
,
of
himself
how
he
sinned
,
and
was
sentenced
at
the
waters
of
strife
.
David
shames
himself
in
his
preface
to
the
51.
Psalm
.
Isaiah
tells
the
world
of
the
wickednesse
of
Ahaz
,
and
weaknesse
of
Hezekiah
,
his
natural
Princes
.
Ezekiel
makes
honorable
mention
of
Daniel
his
coetaneous
,
and
Peter
of
Paul
,
though
he
took
him
up
publickly
for
halting
at
Antioch
.
I
was
a
blasphemer
,
an
oppressour
,
a
persecutor
,
saith
that
blessed
Apostle
,
whereby
we
see
that
it
's
free
from
partiality
,
and
flattery
.
Secondly
,
For
the
matter
of
the
Scripture
,
it
's
proved
to
be
the
Word
of
God
;
By
the
Majesty
of
it
,
which
(
besides
the
stately
plainnesse
of
the
stile
)
far
surpasseth
the
creatures
capacity
,
the
fathom
of
flesh
,
and
reach
of
reason
.
There
is
no
jot
,
or
tittle
of
it
that
savours
of
earthlinesse
:
Every
word
of
Gods
mouth
is
pure
,
precious
,
and
profitable
,
not
a
syllable
superfluous
.
The
very
majesty
of
the
sentence
is
such
as
cannot
be
conceived
,
and
yet
it
's
alwaies
more
powerful
in
matter
then
in
words
.
It
sets
forth
such
an
admirable
concurrence
of
Gods
mercy
,
and
Justice
in
mans
Redemption
,
by
the
man
Christ
Jesus
,
as
no
creature
could
possibly
contrive
:
or
if
they
could
,
yet
certainly
would
not
.
Not
good
men
,
or
Angels
,
for
they
would
never
have
put
upon
the
world
such
a
notorious
imposture
:
Not
evil
men
or
Devils
,
for
it
crosseth
,
and
controlleth
their
contrary
courses
,
and
condemnes
them
to
the
pit
of
hell
.
It
utterly
overturns
the
Devils
Kingdome
,
who
therefore
sharply
eggeth
,
and
edgeth
all
his
instruments
against
it
:
yea
,
and
tempteth
better
men
sometimes
to
doubt
of
it
:
whereas
if
it
were
forged
,
and
false
,
he
would
(
like
a
liar
as
he
is
)
foment
,
and
fight
for
it
,
promote
,
and
propagate
it
,
as
he
doth
Turcisme
,
and
Paganisme
,
and
other
falshoods
abroad
in
the
world
though
never
so
absurd
,
and
impious
.
Lastly
,
look
upon
its
admirable
effects
,
and
irresistible
power
to
effect
the
thing
whereunto
it
's
appointed
,
as
to
break
the
stubborn
,
to
binde
up
the
broken-hearted
,
&c.
Not
onely
to
inform
as
other
writings
,
but
to
reform
,
yea
,
transform
the
soul
from
glory
to
glory
,
till
it
be
wholly
conformed
to
that
heavenly
pattern
:
Adde
hereunto
,
that
it
's
effectual
for
the
conversion
of
a
sinner
from
the
errour
of
his
way
:
Not
from
errour
of
his
mind
onely
,
but
of
his
manners
also
:
For
the
mind
may
be
thorowly
convinced
,
and
yet
the
man
not
truly
converted
;
yea
,
and
when
the
spirit
feeles
it self
dead
,
and
decayed
(
as
by
a
relapse
into
some
foul
sin
)
this
good
Word
revives
it
,
as
the
breath
of
God
did
those
dry
bones
in
Ezekiel
.
Humane
writings
may
shew
some
faults
to
be
avoided
,
but
give
no
power
to
amend
them
:
But
,
Now
are
ye
clean
by
the
Word
that
I
have
spoken
,
saith
Christ
:
Sanctifié
them
by
thy
truth
,
thy
Word
is
truth
.
Philosophie
may
civilize
,
not
sanctifie
:
hide
some
sins
,
not
heal
them
:
cover
,
not
cure
them
.
So
then
,
the
efficacy
,
and
virtue
of
the
Scripture
to
produce
the
love
of
God
,
and
our
enemies
,
to
purifie
the
heart
,
to
pacifie
the
conscience
,
to
rectifie
the
whole
both
constitution
,
and
conversation
of
a
man
,
to
take
him
off
from
the
delights
of
the
world
,
and
the
flesh
,
to
make
him
glory
in
afflictions
,
sing
in
the
flames
,
triumph
over
death
:
all
these
,
and
more
do
necessarily
conclude
the
divine
authority
of
the
Scriptures
.
What
words
of
Philosophers
could
ever
make
of
a
Leopard
a
Lamb
:
of
a
viper
a
child
;
of
a
Leacher
a
chaste
man
;
of
a
Nabal
a
Nadib
;
of
a
covetous
carle
,
a
liberal
person
?
Besides
this
real
,
there
is
also
a
vocal
testimony
from
God
to
the
Divinity
of
the
Scriptures
,
which
yet
is
heard
by
none
but
Gods
houshold
,
and
is
confined
to
the
communion
of
Saints
,
whose
consciences
he
secretly
perswadeth
of
this
truth
,
and
sweetly
seales
it
up
to
them
:
Promised
,
Isa.

They
shall
know
in
that
day
that
I
am
he
that
doth
speak
,
&c.
Joh.

17.
If
any
man
will
do
his
will
,
he
shall
know
of
the
Doctrine
whether
it
be
of
God
,
&c.
1
Joh.
5.
10.
He
that
believeth
hath
the
witnesse
in
himself
.
1
Cor.
2.
15.
The
spiritual
man
discerneth
all
things
:
for
he
hath
the
mind
of
Christ
:
and
an
unction
within
that
teacheth
him
all
things
,
1
Joh.
2.
20
,
27.
So
that
he
no
sooner
heareth
,
but
believes
,
and
is
sealed
with
that
holy
Spirit
of
promise
,
Ephes.
1.
13.
whose
inward
testimony
of
the
truth
,
and
authority
of
the
Scriptures
,
is
ever
met
by
a
motion
of
the
sanctified
soul
,
inspired
by
the
same
Spirit
,
more
steadfastly
resting
it self
on
that
testimony
,
then
if
he
should
hear
from
heaven
,
as
St.
Augustine
did
,
Tolle
,
Lege
,
take
,
and
read
this
book
of
God
:
or
than
if
some
Angel
should
bring
him
a
Bible
,
and
say
;
This
is
the
very
Word
of
God
:
For
he
might
suspect
these
as
delusions
of
the
Devil
But
the
testimony
of
the
Spirit
we
know
to
be
true
;
Job
.
14.
17.
because
he
is
both
a
Spirit
of
truth
,
and
a
searcher
of
the
deep
things
of
God
,
1
Cor.
2.
10.
Onely
it
must
be
remembred
,
that
this
inward
witnesse
must
not
be
brought
for
confirmation
of
this
Doctrine
to
others
,
nor
for
confutation
of
adversaries
:
But
that
every
one
for
himself
might
hereby
be
certified
,
and
satisfied
in
his
conscience
,
that
the
Sacred
Scriptures
are
the
Word
of
God
.
The
Churches
testimony
without
this
is
but
of
little
value
,
and
validity
:
it
being
meerly
informativum
et
directivum
,
non
certificativum
,
et
terminativum
fidei
:
And
whereas
St.
Augustine
saith
,
I
should
not
have
believed
the
Gospel
but
that
the
authority
of
the
Church
moved
me
thereto
:
he
speaks
there
of
himself
as
unconverted
to
the
faith
,
and
so
not
acquainted
with
the
Spirits
testimony
.
Now
no
marvel
though
such
be
moved
by
the
consent
,
and
authority
of
the
Church
;
which
is
to
them
an
introduction
whereby
they
are
better
prepared
to
believe
the
Scriptures
,
yea
,
inclined
at
first
to
think
them
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
and
so
made
willing
to
read
,
and
hear
them
.

a

intermingled

lost

afterwards
restored
to
him
upon

prayers
when
he
once
came
to
a
sight
of
his
sin
.
Aristaeus
.
One
John
Ap-howel
in
Queen
Maries
daies
standing
by
William
Maudon
as
he
was
reading
on
a
Primer
at
Greenwich
,
mocked
him
after
every
word
with
contrary
gaudes
and
flouting
speeches
unreverently
;
whereupon
Maudon
said
to
him
,
John
,
take
heed
what
thou
doest
,
thou
mockest
not
me
but
God
in
his
Word
,
though
I
be
simple
that
read
it
.
Yet
went
he
on
in
his
mocking
,
till
Maudon
reading
,
Lord
have
mercy
upon
us
:
Christ
have
mercy
upon
us
:
the
other
with
a
start
,
said
suddenly
,
Lord
have
mercy
upon
me
:
with
that
Maudon
turning
to
him
,
said
;
What
aileth
thee
,
John
?
to
which
he
answered
,
Nothing
,
but
that
he
was
afraid
:
Whereof

The
Tyrians
having
maintained
long
warres
against
the
Persians
,
were
much
weakned
thereby
;
which
occasion
their
slaves
,
being
many
in
number
,
laying
hold
of
the
opportunity
to
rise
up
against
their
Masters
,
and
put
them
all
to
the
sword
,
together
with
all
their
children
,
and
then
seized
upon
their
houses
,

married
their
wives
:
onely
one
of
them
being
more
merciful
then
the
rest
,
spared
his
old
Master
[
Straton

and
his
son
,
and
hid
them
.
Then
these
Slaves
having
thus
gotten
possession
of

,
consulted
to
choose

agreed
,
That

that

shining
upon

that

To
hate

reporteth
of

,
That
at

time
fornication

adultery
,

incest
,
with
all
other
sins
incident
to
mans
nature
were
rife
amongst

the
maintainers
of
it
;
the
love

the
admitting

Hist.
When
the
Grecian
Navy
understood
that
the
Army
of
Xerxes
was
entred
into
Peloponesus
,
every
one
being
solicitous
for
his
own
home
,
they
resolved
to
divide
themselves
,
and
to
provide
for
the
safety
of
their
own
Countrey
:
This
Themistocles
mainly
opposed
,
as
foreseeing
that
the
division
of
the
Grecian
Navie
would
be
their
ruine
,
and
therefore
when
he
could
no
otherwise
prevail
,
he
sent
a
trusty
person
about
him
privately
to
Xerxes
to
inform
him
,
that
the
Grecian
Navy
was
intended
to
fly
away
,
and
that
therefore
he
should
presently
with
his
Navie
set
upon
them
,
if
he
desired
a
glorious
Victory
.
Xerxes
being
glad
of
this
intelligence
,
thinking
that
Themistocles
had
done
it
out
of
respect
to
him
,
he
presently
caused
his
Navie
to
environ
the
Grecians
on
every
side
,
so
that
they
were
forced
to
fight
whether
they
would
or
no
,
and
so
after
a
terrible
battel
they
gave
the
Persians
a
great
overthrow
,
destroying
two
hundred
of
their
ships
,
besides
those
which
they
took
in
the
battel
.
Herod

Xerxes
seeing
his
great
losses
both
by
Sea
,
and
Land
,
was
resolved
to
leave
his
Army
with
Mardonius
,
and
himself
with
some
small
party
to
return
into
Asia
:
the
Grecian
Generals
understanding
this
,
resolved
to
go
with
their
Navie
to
Abydos
to
break
down
the
Bridge
which
Xerxes
had
made
,
and
left
there
over
the
Sea
for
his
return
at
his
pleasure
,
thinking
by
this
meanes
either
to
destroy
his
whole
Army
thus
shut
up
in
Greece
,
or
to
force
him
to
good
tearms
of
agreement
:
Themistocles
thinking
that
it
was
fitter
to
make
a
golden
bridge
to
a
flying
enemy
,
then
to
take
away
all
hopes
of
escaping
from
them
which
might
make
them
fight
more
desperately
,
gave
contrary
counsel
;
and
when
he
saw
that
he
could
not
prevail
,
he
sent
privately
to
Xerxes
,
acquainting
him
with
the
Grecians
purpose
of
breaking
down
his
bridge
,
and
therefore
advised
him
to
hasten
his
return
before
they
had
put
their
counsel
into
action
.
Xerxes
being
affrighted
with
this
message
,
left
his
Captains
to
bring
after
him
those
Forces
which
he
intended
to
take
back
into
Asia
,
and
himself
with
a
few
attendants
posted
back
to
the
Bridge
for
his
own
safety
.

After
the
final
overthrow
of
the
Persian
Army
,
the
Athenians
began
to
build
their
City
anew
,
which
had
been
burned
by
the
Persians
,
and
to
compasse
it
about
with
strong
Walls
,
which
the
Lacedaemonians
hearing
of
,
and
suspecting
the
Athenian
power
,
they
sent
Ambassadours
to
them
to
disswade
them
from
the
work
,
telling
them
how
dangerous
it
might
be
if
the
Persians
should
again
come
into
Greece
,
&c.
Themistocles
perceiving
that
they
did
it
out
of
envy
,
told
them
that
the
Athenians
would
themselves
send
Ambassadours
of
their
own
to
satisfie
the
Lacedemonians
about
that
matter
:
and
so
dismissing
them
,
he
exhorted
the
Athenians
to
hasten
their
work
all
that
possibly
they
could
;
and
after
a
while
himself
goes
as
their
Ambassadour
to
Sparta
,
but
by
the
way
pretends
sicknesse
,
and
other
impediments
to
hinder
:
yet
at
length
he
comes
to
Sparta
,
but
then
tells
them
that
he
could
do
nothing
effectually
till
his
Colleagues
were
come
to
him
:
In
the
mean
time
the
Lacedemenians
hearing
that
the
Walls
went
forward
apace
,
sent
new
Ambassadours
to
know
the
truth
of
the
businesse
:
Themistocles
therefore
dispeeds
away
his
man
to
Athens
,
writing
to
the
Magistrates
,
that
when
the
Ambassadours
came
they
should
cast
them
into
prison
,
and
keep
them
as
pledges
that
the
Lacedemonians
should
act
nothing
against
them
:
and
at
last
he
makes
an
Oration
to
the
Lacedemonians
,
and
tells
them
,
that
now
Athens
wa●
fortified
,
whereby
they
were
able
to
repel
war
both
by
their
Armes
,
and
Walls
:
and
so
having
out-witted
the
Lacedemonians
by
this
stratagem
,
he
returned
home
with
great
applause
.

,
General
of
the
Athenians
triumphed
over
the
Persians
twice
in
one
day
:
for
first
he
fought
a
great
Battel
with
them
by
Sea
upon
the
Confines
of
Asia
,
wherein
he
gave
them
a
great
overthrow
;
and
then
taking
the
Persian
Ships
,
he
put
all
his
valiantest
Souldiers
into
them
,
and
dressed
them
in
the
Persians
apparel
,
and
so
sailing
to
the
place
where
their
Land-Army
lay
,
they
took
them
for
Persians
returning
in
triumph
from
the
slaughter
of
the
Athenians
:
Cimon
therefore
by
this
stratagem
landing
his
men
,
brake
suddenly
into
the
Camp
of
the
Persians
,
whom
they
quickly
overthrew
with
a
great
slaughter
,
and
took
twenty
thousand
prisoners
,
together
with
an
infinite
masse
of
treasure
,
the
tenth
part
whereof
the
Athenians
dedicated
to
their
gods
.
Diod.
Sic.
Wheu
the
Grecians
had
taken
the
City
of
Bizantium
,
the
Grecian
Captains
referred
to
Cimon
the
dividing
of
the
spoyl
:
whereupon
he
set
all
the
Captives
of
one
side
,
and
all
the
plunder
of
the
City
on
the
other
;
and
then
bade
the
other
Grecians
choose
which
they
would
have
:
they
chose
the
plunder
,
leaving
the
naked
persons
to
the
Athenians
,
and
withal
,
laughed
Cimon
to
scorn
for
his
foolish
division
.
But
shortly
after
the
friends
,
and
kinsfolk
of
the
Captives
came
,
and
brought
great
sums
of
money
to
redeem
the
captives
,
whereby
the
Athenians
gat
more
then
all
the
other
Grecians
;
with
which
Cimon
defrayed
the
whole
charges
of
the
Navy
for
four
moneths
.
Plut.
Another
Stratagem
of
Cimons
was
this
,
whereas
other
Generals
had
been
burthensome
to
the
friends
and
confederates
of
the
Athenians
by
forcing
them
to
serve
in
the
Wars
;
Cimon
on
the
contrary
,
suffered
them
to
commute
their
personal
service
for
a
summe
of
money
,
and
they
that
had
shipping
if
they
would
deliver
him
their
ships
,
he
would
excuse
them
from
going
in
them
themselves
,
and
so
suffered
them
to
follow
their
Trades
,
and
husbandry
:
in
the
mean
time
he
hired
his
Athenians
to
serve
in
all
the
wars
both
by
Sea
,
and
Land
,
and
so
made
them
expert
,
and
excellent
Souldiers
,
whilest
their
confederates
spent
their
time
in
ease
,
or
contrary
affaires
,
and
so
put
the
opportunity
into
the
Athenians
hands
of
being
Lords
over
all
their
neighbours
.
Plut.
In
the
wars
between
the
Lacedemonians
,
and
the
Athenians
,
when
Archidamus
the
Lacedemonian
General
entred
with
his
Army
into
the
Confines
of
Attiea
,
and
laid
all
waste
before
him
;
Pericles
the
Athenian
General
suspecting
that
he
would
spare
his
houses
,
and
Lands
,
sent
to
Athens
,
and
bestowed
them
all
upon
the
Common-Wealth
▪
that
so
he
might
free
himself
from
the
envy
,
and
suspition
of
his
Citizens
.

like
Stratagem

who
when
as
Hanibal
had
spared
his
lands
,
he
presently
sent

sell
them
,

employed
the
money
for
the
redeeming
of
Captives
from

caused
to
be
engraven
in
great
letters
upon

,

stones
an
Exhortation
to
the
Ionians
to
desert
the
Persians
,
and
to
take
part
with
the
Grecians
,
who
were
their
ancestours
,
and
founders
,
and
such
as
fought
for
their
liberty
,
hoping
by
this
stratagem
either
to
bring
the
Ionians
to
take
part
with
him
,
or
at
least
to
make
the
Persians
jealous
,
and
distrustfull
of
them
,
and
so
render
them
the
lesse
useful
.

Example

Sertorius
the
Roman
General
in

fain
to
pay

to

barbarous
people
that
inhabited

Pyrenaean
Mountains
over
which
he
was
to
passe
.
At
this
some
of
his
Souldiers
muttered
,
saying
,
That
it
was
an
act
very
dishonourable
for
the
Romans
:
but
he
told
them
that
he
onely
bought

a
commodity
which

haughty
enterprises
must
take
up
at

unappeasable

Anno
Christi
1204.
at
Oreford
in
Suffolk
a
fish
was
taken
by
the
Fishermen
at
Sea
,
in
shape
resembling
a
wild
man
,
and
by
them
was
presented
to
Sir
Bartholomew
de
Glanvil
,
Keeper
of
Oreford
Castle
.
In
all
his
limbs
,
and
members
he
resembled
a
man
,
had
hair
in
●ll
the
usual
parts
of
his
body
,
onely
his
head
was
bald
.
The
Knight
caused
meat
to
be
set
before
him
,
which
he
greedily
devoured
,
and
did
eat
fish
raw
,
or
sod
:
that
which
was
raw
he
pressed
with
his
hand
till
he
had
squeezed
out
all
the
moisture
:
He
uttered
not
any
speech
,
though
to
try
him
,
they
hung
him
up
by
the
heeles
,
and
grievously
tormented
him
.
He
would
get
him
to
his
couch
at
the
setting
of
the
Sun
,
and
rise
again
at
the
Sun-rising
.
One
day
they
brought
him
to
the
haven
,
and
let
him
go
into
the
Sea
,
but
to
prevent
his
escape
they
set
three
rowes
of
very
strong
nets
before
him
to
catch
him
again
at
their
pleasure
:
But
he
,
streightwaies
diving
to
the
bottom
,
crept
under
all
their
nets
,
and
shewed
himself
again
to
them
,
and
so
often
diving
he
still
came
up
,
and
looked
upon
them
that
stood
on
the
shoare
as
it
were
mocking
of
them
.
At
length
after
he
had
sported
himself
a
great
while
in
the
water
,
and
there
was
no
hope
of
his
return
,
he
came
back
to
them
of
his
own
accord
,
and
remained
with
them
two
moneths
after
.
But
finally
,
when
he
was
negligently
looked
to
,
he
went
to
the
Sea
,
and
was
never
after
seen
,
or
heard
of

is

fight
is

Swordfish
placeth
himself
under
the
belly
of
the
Whale
,

the
Thresher
above
with

thresheth

forceth

perceiving

wounds
him
in
the
belly

Sword
,

so
forceth
him
to
rise
up
again

torment
him

the
fight
is
sometimes
heard

the
Whales
roaring

heard

his

a

growing
up

offering
to
pluck
up
the

it
shrank
down
into
the

,

when
it

pulled
up
,
a

was
the

the

There
is
in
the
Countrey
of
Mexico
a
kind
of
sheep
,
which
all
things
considered
is
a
beast
of
the
greatest
profit
,
and
least
charge
that
is
:
For
from
them
they
draw
meat
,
and
clothing
:
They
use
them
also
to
carry
all
their
burthens
,
having
need
neither
of
shoes
nor
saddles
,
nor
yet
of
Oates
,
so
that
they
serve
their
Masters
for
nought
,
feeding
onely
on
grasse
which
they
find
in
the
fields
;
There
are
two
kinds
of
these
creatures
,
the
one
bearing
wooll
,
the
other
are
bare
,
which
are
the
better
for

they
are
bigger
then
great
sheep
,
and
lesse

they

like

They
are
of
divers
colours
,
some
white
,
some

,
and
others
grey
,
or

;
their
flesh
is
good
meat
,
but
that
of
their
Lambs
is
best
:
Of
their
Wooll
the
Indians
make
cloth

some

,
other

like
half

;
they
also
make
Carpets

Coverings
,
and
other

works
of
it
which
last
long
,
and
have
a

they

it
into
sundry

:
upon
these
the

carry
their

one

these
sheep
carrying
about
an

In

A
Description
of
Hierusalem
,
and
the
Temple
,
as
they
were
when
they
were
destroyed
by
the
Romans
.
HIerusalem
was
compassed
with
a
treble
Wall
on
every
side
,
save
onely
on
that
part
where
it
was
inclosed
with
inaccessible
Vallies
;
for
on
that
side
it
needed
onely
one
Wall
:
It
was
built
upon
two
hills
,
the
one
opposite
to
the
other
,
separated
by
a
valley
which
was
wondrously
replenished
with
houses
.
One
of
these
hills
whereon
stood
the
upper
part
of
the
City
was
far
higher
,
and
s●eeper
then
the
other
,
whereupon
King
David
compassing
it
about
with
a
wall
called
it
the
City
of
David
.
The
other
hill
called
Acra
was
the
place
whereon
the
lower
part
of
the
City
stood
:
And
opposite
to
this
Acra
was
another
hill
lower
then
it
,
which
at
first
was
divided
from
it
by
a
large
valley
;
but
when
the
Asmonaeans
reigned
,
they
filled
up
this
valley
,
and
cut
down
the
top
of
Acra
that
it
might
not
hide
the
Temple
:
within
one
of
the
vallies
was
Siloam
,
a
fountain
sending
forth
abundance
of
cleer
&
sweet
water
:
The
outmost
wall
,
by
reason
of
the
valley
about
it
,
&
rock
whereon
it
stood
was
impregnable
the
rather
because
besides
the
situation
it
was
built
very
strongly
by
David
,
Solomon
,
and
other
Kings
.
A
fourth
wall
was
begun
by
Agrippa
:
In
humane
reason
had
this
wall
been
finished
,
the
City
could
never
have
been
taken
:
For
he
began
to
build
it
with
stones
20.
cubits
long
,
and
10.
cubits
broad
,
so
that
it
could
neither
be
easily
undermined
,
nor
battered
with
Engines
:
but
he
built
this
wall
but
onely
10.
Cubits
high
,
and
then
fearing
lest
Claudius
Caesar
should
think
that
he
had
a
purpose
to
rebell
,
he
gave
it
over
:
yet
afterwards
the
Jews
raised
this
wall
20
Cubits
high
:
made
a
battlement
2.
cubits
high
,
and
the
Tower
3.
cubits
,
in
all
24.
cubits
high
:
Besides
upon
the
wall
were
three
Towers
20.
cubits
broad
,
and
twenty
cubits
high
,
built
four
square
very
strongly
;
within
these
Towers
were
rooms
for
men
to
dwell
in
,
and
Cisterns
to
receive
rain-water
.
The
third
wall
had
ninety
of
these
Towers
,
and
between
every
Tower
were
two
hundred
Cubits
space
:
The
second
wall
had
fourteen
Towers
;
and
the
old
wall
had
threescore
,
and
the
compasse
of
the
whole
City
was
33.
furlongs
.
Between
the
North
,
and
West-part
of
the
City
upon
the
outmost
wall
stood
the
Tower
Psephina
,
which
was
raised
seventy
Cubits
high
;
so
that
in
a
clear
day
a
man
might
from
thence
discover
Arabia
,
and
the
utmost
confines
of
the
Jewes
even
to
the
Sea
.
Just
opposite
to
this
was
the
Tower
Hippicos
built
by
Herod
upon
the
old
wall
,
which
for
bignesse
,
beauty
,
and
strength
surpassed
all
others
in
the
world
:
It
had
four
corners
,
each
of
which
was
25.
Cubits
broad
,
as
many
long
,
and
30.
Cubits
high
,
and
in
no
place
hollow
:
On
the
top
was
a
Well
to
receive
rain-water
twenty
Cubits
deep
.
On
the
Top
of
all
were
houses
25.
Cubits
high
divided
into
many
roomes
:
Above
them
were
battlements
two
Cubits
high
,
and
Turrets
three
Cubits
high
,
so
that
in
all
it
was
eighty
five
Cubits
high
.
He
built
also
a
second
Tower
in
breadth
,
and
length
fourty
Cubits
,
and
as
many
high
in
Figure
of
a
square
pillar
,
all
solid
,
and
not
hollow
within
:
And
above
this
,
a
porch
ten
Cubits
high
adorned
with
Turrets
,
and
Pinacles
:
Over
the
middest
of
this
Porch
he
built
another
Tower
distinguished
into
goodly
roomes
,
and
sumptuous
Baths
;
and
on
the
top
it
was
beautified
with
Turrets
,
and
Pinacles
,
so
that
the
whole
height
was
almost
fourscore
,
and
ten
Cubits
:
Lastly
,
he
built
a
third
Tower
,
which
he
called
after
his
Queens
name
,
Mariamne
twenty
cubits
high
,
and
twenty
broad
,
all
of
solid
stone
,
and
not
hollow
,
having
more
stately
and
magnificent
lodgings
in
it
then
either
of
the
former
:
it
was
in
all
fifty
five
Cubits
high
.
These
Towers
though
they
were
very
high
,
yet
by
reason
of
their
situation
they
seemed
far
higher
:
For
the
old
wall
whereon
they
were
built
stood
upon
rock
that
was
30.
Cubits
high
,
whereby
their
height
was
much
encreased
:
They
were
not
built
also
of
ordinary
stone
,
but
all
of
white
Marble
,
whereof
each
stone
was
20.
Cubits
long
,
and
ten
Cubits
broad
,
and
five
Cubits
thick
;
and
so
curiously
joyned
together
that
every
Tower
seemed
but
one
stone
;
within
the
City
was
the
Kings
Palace
surpassing
all
that
can
be
spoken
of
it
,
and
for
greatnesse
,
and
curious
workmanship
may
be
compared
with
any
other
in
the
world
:
It
was
environed
with
a
wall
30.
Cubits
high
,
adorned
with
goodly
Towers
round
about
:
Beautified
with
houses
for
an
hundred
of
the
Nobility
:
The
variety
of
the
Marble
wherewith
it
was
built
was
admirable
,
all
sorts
being
therein
used
,
though
never
so
rare
to
be
found
.
In
every
room
also
were
many
vessels
of
gold
,
and
silver
,
and
many
Porches
round
about
adorned
with
most
curious
Pillars
:
There
were
in
it
very
many
pleasant
walks
adorned
with
all
sorts
of
trees
,
and
gardens
beset
with
Fountains
that
spouted
up
water
on
high
,
and
Cisterns
beautified
with
many
brazen
Statues
from
which
ran
out
water
continually
.
The
Temple
was
built
upon
a
Rocky
Mountain
;
the
plain
on
the
top
whereof
was
at
first
scarce
big
enough
for
the
Temple
,
and
Court
,
the
hill
being
very
steep
:
But
the
people
every
day
bringing
earth
thither
,
at
last
made
it
plain
,
and
large
enough
,
and
enclosed
the
hill
with
a
treble
wall
,
which
was
a
work
passing
all
expectation
;
to
the
effecting
whereof
many
ages
were
spent
,
and
all
the
holy
treasure
offered
to
God
from
all
parts
of
the
world
:
The
foundations
of
the
Temple
were
laid
three
hundred
Cubits
deep
,
and
in
many
places
more
.
The
stones
of
it
were
40.
Cubit
:
The
Porches
were
double
,
and
every
one
was
supported
by
many
stately
Pillars
,
twenty
five
Cubits
high
all
of
one
piece
of
white
Marble
;
the
Tops
of
them
were
of
Cedar
so
exactly
wrought
as
astonished
the
beholders
:
These
Porches
were
30.
Cubits
broad
,
and
the
Compasse
of
all
was
six
Furlongs
.
The
Courts
were
curiously
wrought
,
and
paved
with
all
sorts
of
stones
.
The
way
to
the
inward
Temple
was
all
inclosed
with
stones
wrought
like
La●tice-work
,
which
were
three
Cubits
high
of
curious
workmanship
:
to
this
second
there
was
an
ascent
by
fourteen
staires
;
and
aloft
it
was
four
square
,
and
enclosed
with
a
wall
by
it self
,
whose
outside
being
fourty
Cubits
high
was
all
covered
with
staires
to
ascend
up
to
it
,
and
within
it
was
twenty
five
Cubits
high
:
At
the
top
of
the
fourteen
staires
within
the
wall
was
a
level
compassed
with
a
wall
of
three
hundred
Cubits
,
which
had
eight
Gates
in
it
;
and
between
the
Gates
were
Porches
opposite
each
to
other
reaching
from
the
wall
to
the
Treasury
,
supported
with
great
,
and
stately
Pillars
.
All
the
gates
were
covered
with
Plates
of
gold
,
and
silver
,
onely
one
was
covered
with
Corinthian
brasse
,
which
for
beauty
far
excelled
the
other
,
dazling
the
eyes
of
the
beholders
:
In
every
gate
were
two
doores
,
each
of
them
thirty
Cubits
high
,
and
fifteen
broad
;
and
on
each
side
they
had
seats
30.
Cubits
long
,
and
40.
Cubits
high
,
each
one
supported
with
two
Pillars
twelve
Cubits
thick
:
Onely
the
Gate
which
was
▪
covered
with
Corinthian
brasse
was
fifty
Cubits
high
,
the
Gates
were
fourty
Cubits
,
and
it
was
more
richly
adorned
then
the
rest
.
The
Holy
of
Holies
was
situated
in
the
middest
of
all
,
and
had
twelve
staires
to
go
up
to
it
.
The
forepart
of
it
was
an
hundred
Cubits
high
,
and
as
many
broad
:
Backward
it
was
fourty
Cubits
;
on
each
side
it
had
as
it
were
two
shoulders
rising
up
in
height
twenty
Cubits
:
The
first
Gate
was
seventy
Cubits
high
,
and
25.
wide
,
and
had
no
doores
to
shew
that
heaven
was
alwaies
open
,
&c.
All
the
foreparts
were
gilded
,
and
all
within
was
covered
with
fine
gold
.
The
inward
part
was
divided
into
two
rooms
,
whereof
the
first
onely
might
be
seen
,
which
was
in
height
fourscore
,
and
ten
Cubits
,
in
length
fourty
,
and
in
breadth
twenty
:
Round
about
the
Wall
was
a
golden
vine
,
whereon
hung
many
grapes
in
clusters
all
of
gold
,
every
cluster
being
about
six
foot
long
:
It
had
golden
gates
fifty
five
Cubits
high
,
and
sixteen
Cubits
broad
.
It
had
curious
hangings
of
the
same
length
,
admirably
wrought
with
purple
,
violet
,
and
Scarlet
silk
,
all
the
fabrick
was
so
exquisitely
,
and
richly
wrought
,
that
none
could
possibly
imagine
any
workmanship
that
it
wanted
:
For
it
was
all
covered
with
a
massie
plate
of
pure
gold
which
dazled
the

:
The

,
sharp
like

River
running
by
it
,
with
the
more
case
to
convey
the
in-land
commodities
for
her
necessity
,
and
delight
;
it
had
the
Sea
at
a
convenient
distance
,
not
too
neer
,
whereby
she
might
be
annoyed
with
forreign
Navies
,
nor
so
remote
but
that
she
might
be
supplyed
with
outlandish
commodities
.
The
river
Tiber
at
Rome
is
four
hundred
foot
broad
,
and
so
deep
that
it
will
carry
ships
of
the
greatest
burden
.
It
s
about
sixteen
miles
distant
from
the
Sea
.
It
was
almost
round
in
compasse
.
The
suburbs
in
processe
of
time
grew
so
great
,
that
Aurelian
the
Emperour
built
new
walls
,
which
were
amost
fifteen
miles
in
compasse
:
and
again
,
the
suburbs
in
a
little
time
grew
so
great
that
one
of
them
was
fifteen
miles
long
,
and
raught
even
to
the
Sea
,
and
in
Augustus
his
time
there
was
numbred
in
Rome
above
three
hundred
,
and
twenty
thousand
poor
people
that
received
relief
from
the
publick
:
Besides
,
the
number
of
bondmen
was
very
great
:
few
rich
men
but
they
had
an
hundred
,
and
some
four
hundred
a
peece
:
Seneca
saith
in
his
time
that
the
inhabitants
were
so
many
that
the
spacious
and
innumerable
houses
were
scarce
able
to
contain
them
:
that
a
great
part
of
them
were
forreigners
that
came
from
all
parts
of
the
world
to
live
there
:
So
that
the
number
of
inhabitants
was
reckoned
to
be
at
least
four
millions
.
These
people
were
sustained
with
provisions
brought
out
of
all
Nations
;
so
that
Rome
seemed
to
be
the
common
Mart
of
the
whole
world
.
Heliogabalns
to
shew
the
greatnesse
of
the
City
caused
all
the
spiders
to
be
gathered
and
put
together
,
which
being
weighed
amounted
to
ten
thousand
pounds
weight
:
and
a
great
Plague
breaking
out
at
Rome
for
many
dayes
together
there
died
ten
thousand
persons
.
The
houses
were
generally
built
very
high
,
that
so
they
might
be
the
more
capcious
,
insomuch
as
Augustus
was
feign
to
make
a
Decree
that
their
buildings
should
not
exceed
seventy
foot
in
height
,
conceiving
that
they
marred
the
delicacy
of
the
air
by
their
over-much
shadow
:
but
this
extended
onely
to
private
mens
houses
,
for
the
great
men
were
not
limited
.
But
besides
,
the
great
height
of
the
houses
,
they
were
beautified
by
the
matter
whereof
they
were
built
,
by
the
Architecture
,
and
by
the
Symmetry
of
them
,
wherein
Art
,
and
Elegancy
strove
for
priority
.
And
for
that
end
what
exquisite
workmen
soever
Greece
,
or
Asia
brought
forth
,
they
were
either
sent
for
,
or
came
of
their
own
accord
to
beautifie
this
Imperial
City
,
especially
in
Augustus's
time
,
who
made
his
boasts
,
Marmoream
se
relinquere
,
quam
lateritiam
accepisset
:
that
he
should
leave
Rome
built
of
Marble
,
which
he
found
built
of
Bricks
.
Nero
also
when
he
had
burned
a
great
part
of
it
,
at
his
own
charges
built
it
up
again
,
beautifying
it
with
excellently
composed
streets
,
large
wayes
,
and
curious
porches
to
all
the
houses
,
which
three
things
were
a
great
Ornament
to
the
City
:
whereupon
Cassiodorus
saith
,
Our
forefathers
tells
us
of
the
seven
wonders
of
the
World
:
The
Temple
of
Diana
at
Epesus
:
The
costly
Tomb
of
King
Mausolus
:
The
brazen
Statue
of
the
Sunin
the
Isle
of
Rhodes
called
the
Colossus
.
The
Image
of
Jupiter
Olympicus
made
by
Phidias
:
The
house
of
Cyrus
King
of
the
Medes
,
and
Persians
built
by
Memnon
:
The
walls
of
Babylon
built
by
Semiramus
:
And
the
Pyramides
of
Egypt
:
But
now
(
saith
he
)
the
City
of
Rome
is
the
greatest
miracle
of
them
all
.
There
were
in
it
four
hundred
twenty
four
Temples
erected
to
their
Idol-gods
.
There
were
two
Capitols
in
Rome
;
The
old
built
by
Numa
,
the
new
,
begun
by
Tarquinius
Priscus
,
and
Superbus
,
finished
by
Horutius
Pulvillus
Consul
,
upon
the
Saturnian
,
or
Tarpeian
,
or
Capitoline
hill
.
It
was
eight
acres
,
or
eight
hundred
feet
in
compasse
,
almost
four
square
.
It
was
ascended
unto
by
one
hundred
steps
on
the
South
part
which
looked
towards
the
Market-place
,
and
Palace
.
It
would
hold
eight
thousand
men
.
It
was
covered
with
brasse-tiles
all
gilt
with
gold
.
There
were
three
Chappels
in
it
;
to
one
of
which
(
viz.
Jupiter's
)
Augustus
gave
sixteen
thousand
pound
weight
of
gold
,
and
jewels
worth
almost
as
much
more
,
twelve
thousand
Talents
were
spent
in
gilding
of
it
.
The
gates
were
cover'd
with
thick
plates
of
gold
.
Next
after
the
Capitol
,
the
Pantheon
is
worthily
noted
.
It
was
built
by
Agrippa
son
in
Law
to
Augustus
in
the
year
of
the
City
729.
The
Architecture
of
it
was
admirable
,
the
beauty
,
and
proportion
of
all
the
parts
most
exquisite
:
The
breadth
of
it
was
one
hundred
and
fourty
four
feet
,
and
the
height
as
much
:
It
was
wholly
covered
over
with
very
great
tiles
of
brasse
richly
gilt
.
In
the
Reign
of
Trajan
it
was
burnt
by
lightning
,
and
re-built
by
Hadrian
.
The
Temple
of
Peace
was
built
by
Vespasian
,
three
hundred
foot
long
,
and
two
hundred
broad
:
It
was
the
most
beautiful
of
all
the
Temples
in
the
City
,
and
enriched
with
gifts
of
inestimable
value
:
It
was
adorned
with
Statues
,
and
pictures
of
most
exquisite
workmanship
:
yea
and
all
the
rarities
were
collected
into
this
Temple
for
the
sight
whereof
men
formerly
used
to
travel
through
the
whole
world
.
And
here
also
he
placed
those
vessels
which
formerly
belonged
to
the
Temple
of
Hierusalem
,
and
were
brought
from
thence
by
Titus
at
the
sacking
of
it
.
It
was
burnt
down
in
the
time
of
Commodus
either
with
fire
from
heaven
,
or
arising
out
of
the
earth
after
a
little
earthquake
.
There
were
an
infinite
number
of
Baths
both
publick
,
and
private
in
Rome
.
Some
of
which
baths
were
all
paved
with
plates
of
silver
,
and
set
with
rowes
of
Pillars
for
ornament
.
Antoninus's
bath
had
sixteen
hundred
slates
of
polished
Marble
in
it
.
The
Appian
Cawsey
was
built
by
Appius
Claudius
Censor
.
It
reached
from
Rome
to
Capua
,
the
bounds
of
the
Empire
that
way
,
at
that
time
;
which
was
afterwards
lengthened
to
Brundisium
by
Julius
,
and
Augustus
Caesar
,
in
all
three
hundred
and
fifty
miles
long
,
and
so
broad
,
that
two
Coaches
might
easily
passe
by
one
another
,
being
about
25
foot
broad
.
It
was
made
of
hard
flinty
stones
,
hewen
and
laid
so
close
together
,
(
yet
without
any
morter
or
claspes
of
iron
)
that
it
seemed
all
of
one
stone
;
the
stones
were
three
,
four
,
and
five
feet
square
:
nine
hundred
yeares
after
it
was
made
the
stones
were
not
one
whit
disjoynted
,
or
broken
:
Ever
and
anon
on
the
sides
were
stones
whereon
persons
might
sit
,
or
lay
their
burdens
,
or
get
on
horseback
,
and
at
every
miles
and
,
high
stones
(
or
pillars
)
were
raised
,
whereon
were
engraven
the
number
of
the
miles
.
Likewise
there
were
many
Monuments
on
both
sides
with
witty
inscriptions
,
or
pretty
inventions
on
them
,
yielding
both
matter
of
mirth
,
and
seriousnesse
to
the
travellers
.
There
were
fourteen
(
saith
Pliny
)
twenty
(
saith
P.
Victor
)
Aquaeducts
in
Rome
;
the
chiefest
of
which
was
the
Claudian
,
began
by
Caligula
,
and
finished
by
Claudius
;
So
big
as
a
man
might
ride
on
horseback
in
it
;
brought
fourty
miles
to
the
City
in
a
level
,
through
the
Mountains
,
and
over
the
Valleys
;
as
high
as
the
highest
hill
in
the
City
:
seven
millions
and
a
half
were
spent
in
making
it
.
There
were
besides
in
the
City
one
thousand
three
hundred
fifty
two
lakes
or
great
receptacles
of
water
for
common
use
.
The
Cloacae
or
common
sewer
,
were
made
by
Tarquinius
Priscus
;
they
were
so
wide
,
that
a
Cart
loaden
with
hay
might
passe
along
them
,
viz.
sixteen
foot
wide
,
and
as
many
high
.
There
were
seven
chief
armes
from
the
seven
hills
(
besides
several
smaller
from
other
parts
)
which
ran
into
the
main
Channel
.
Notwithstanding
all
the
weight
of
building
upon
them
,
and
several
earthquakes
,
they
remained
firm
almost
eight
hundred
years
.
And
at
one
time
when
they
were
out
of
repair
▪
there
were
a
thousand
talents
spent
in
repairing
of
them
.
There
were
an
infinite
number
of
Statues
,
or
Images
in
every
part
of
the
City
,
costly
for
their
matter
,
and
curious
for
their
workmanship
:
some
Authours
say
that
there
were
neer
as
many
of
them
,
as
there
were
living
people
in
the
City
;
some
of
them
were
of
polished
Marble
;
Infinite
of
brasse
,
some
of
Ivory
,
some
of
silver
,
and
some
of
gold
.
Domitian
the
Emperour
commanded
that
no
statues
should
be
made
for
him
in
the
Capitol
,
but
such
as
were
all
of
silver
,
or
all
gold
,
solid
,
and
not
hollow
,
each
of
them
weighing
at
least
an
hundred
pound
weight
.
Commodas
the
Emperour
had
a
Statue
made
for
him
of
gold
that
weighed
a
thousand
pound
weight
:
Together
with
a
Bull
,
and
a
Cow
of
the
same
metal
as
if
he
had
been
the
founder
of
the
City
.
He
had
also
in
the
Market-place
a
Pillar
erected
,
and
his
Statue
made
upon
it
of
a
thousand
five
hundred
pounds
weight
of
silver
.
Their
statues
of
brasse
were
most
of
them
gilt
,
and
so
were
many
of
their
Statues
of
silver
.
Some
of
them
were
of
a
Colossaean
bignesse
;
others
mounted
on
horseback
,
and
in●several
postures
,
and
habits
:
For
the
preserving
of
all
which
from
hurt
,
there
was
one
who
was
called
Comes
,
or
an
Earle
,
whose
office
it
was
continually
to
walk
up
,
and
down
in
the
night
attended
with
many
Souldiers
,
that
none
might
wrong
them
,
and
besides
it
was
death
for
any
man
to
do
it
.

,
in
all
four
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seventy
feet
,
which
was
almost
a
mile
long
.
The
River
was
very
deep
and
swift
,
and
the
bottom
not
firm
ground
,
neither
could
the
stream
be
diverted
any

all
which

augmented

Within
the
huge
,
and
stately
City
of
Babylon
was
built
a
Tower
reckoned
amongst
the
Worlds
Wonders
;
It
had
an
hundred
brazen
gates
,
and
two
hundred
and
fifty
Towers
.
Semiramis
also
built
in
the
same
City
a
stately
Temple
to
Jupiter
Belus
four
square
,
each
side
containing
two
furlongs
with
brazen
gates
:
In
the
middest
was
a
solid
Tower
of
the
height
,
and
thicknesse
of
a
furlong
:
upon
this
another
,
and
so
one
higher

according
to
the
English
Standard
;
so
that
the
whole
Basis
contains
four
hundred
eighty
thousand
two
hundred
,
and
fourty
nine
square
feet
,
or
eleven
English
acres
of
ground
.
The
height
is
the
same
with
the
breadth
,
viz.
six
hundred
ninety
three
feet
.
The
ascent
to
the
top
is
contrived
in
this
manner
:
From
all
the
sides
without
,
the
ascent
is
by
degrees
;
the
lowermost
step
or
degree
is
about
four
foot
in
height
,
and
three
in
breadth
which
runing
about
the
Pyramid
in
a
level
,
makes
on
every
side
of
it
a
long
but
narrow
Walk
;
the
second
row
is
like
the
first
,
retiring
inward
from
the
first
three
feet
,
and
so
runs
about
the
Pyramid
.
In
the
same
manner
is
the
third
row
placed
above
the
second
,
and
so
in
order
the
rest
like
so
many
staires
rising
one
above
another
to
the
top
,
which
containes
about
nine
foot
square
.
The
degrees
by
which
men
ascend
are
not
all
of
an
equal
depth
,
for
some
are
about
four
foot
,
others
scarcely
three
,
and
the
higher
they
ascend
the
more
they
diminish
both
in
breadth
,
and
thicknesse
:
so
that
a
right
line
extended
from
any
part
of
the
Basis
to
the
top
,
will
equally
touch
the
outward
angle
of
every
degree
.
These
are
all
made
of
Massie
,
and
polished
stones
,
hewen
out
of
the
Arabian
Mountaines
which
bound
the
upper
part
of
Egypt
,
being
so
vast
,
that
the
breadth
and
depth
of
every
step
is
one
single
,
and
intire
stone
,
so
that
in
most
of
them
is
contained
thirty
feet
of
stone
:
The
number
of
these
steps
is
two
hundred
and
seven
.
On
the
North
side
ascending
thirty
eight
feet
upon
an
artificial
bank
of
earth
there
is
a
square
,
and
narrow
passage
leading
into
the
inside
of
this
Pyramid
containing
in
length
ninety
two
feet
,
and
an
half
:
The
structure
of
it
hath
been
the
labour
of
an
exquisite
hand
,
as
appears
by
the
smoothnesse
and
evennesse
of
the
work
,
and
by
the
close
knitting
of
the
joynts
:
it
is
now
an
habitation
for
great
ugly
batts
of
about
a
foot
long
:
At
the
end
of
this
entrance
you
must
climb
up
a
massy
stone
,
eight
or
nine
foot
in
height
,
where
you
enter
into
a
Gallery
,
the
pavement
consisting
of
smooth
,
&
polished
white
Marble
;
the
breadth
is
about
five
foot
,
and
the
height
the
like
:
the
length
of
this
Gallery
is
an
hundred
,
and
ten
feet
:
At
the
end
whereof
begins
a
second
Gallery
,
a
very
stately
piece
of
work
,
and
not
inferiour
either
in
respect
of
the
curiosity
of
Art
,
or
richnesse
of
materials
,
to
the
most
sumptuous
or
magnificent
buildings
:
It
's
divided
from
the
former
by
a
wall
;
At
the
end
whereof
is
a
Well
about
three
feet
in
the
diameter
,
the
sides
whereof
are
lined
with
white
Marble
,
it
's
eighty
six
Cubits
in
depth
,
hewen
through
the
rock
on
which
the
Pyramid
stands
:
Beyond
the
Well
about
fifteen
foot
is
a
square
passage
,
the
stones
whereof
are
exceeding
massie
,
and
exquisitely
joyned
,
which
containes
one
hundred
and
ten
feet
,
at
the
end
whereof
is
an
arched
Vault
,
or
little
Chamber
,
the
length
about
twenty
feet
,
the
breadth
seventeen
,
the
height
about
fifteen
.
The
length
of
this
second
Gallery
before
mentioned
is
154
feet
,
of
white
,
and
polished
Marble
both
roof
,
walls
,
and
bottom
;
the
joynts
are
so
well
knit
that
they
are
scarce
discernable
:
The
height
of
this
Gallery
is
twenty
six
feet
,
the
breadth
six
feet
,
bounded
on
both
sides
with
two
banks
,
like
benches
of
polished
Marble
;
At
the
end
of
this
gallery
you
enter
into
a
square
hole
which
brings
you
into
a
little
room
lined
with
rich
,
and
speckled
Thebaick
Marble
,
out
of
which
through
another
passage
being
all
of
Thebaick
Marble
most
exquisitely
cut
,
you
land
at
the
North
end
of
a
very
sumptuous
,
and
well
proportioned
room
wherein
art
seems
to
contend
with
nature
,
the
curious
work
being
not
inferiour
to
the
rich
materials
:
It
stands
in
the
heart
,
or
center
of
the
Pyramid
,
equidistant
from
all
the
sides
,
and
in
the
middest
between
the
Basis
,
and
the
top
:
The
floor
,
sides
,
and
roofe
are
all
made
of
vast
,
and
exquisite
tables
of
Thebaick
Marble
:
From
the
top
to
the
bottom
are
but
six
ranges
of
stone
,
all
of
an
equal
height
.
The
stones
which
cover
this
room
are
of
a
strange
,
and
stupendious
length
,
like
so
many
huge
beams
lying
flat
,
and
traversing
the
room
,
and
bearing
up
that
infinite
weight
,
and
masse
of
the
Pyramid
above
.
Of
these
there
are
nine
which
cover
the
roof
;
the
length
of
this
room
is
thirty
four
English
feet
:
the
breadth
somewhat
above
seventeen
feet
,
the
height
nineteen
feet
and
a
half
.
In
the
middest
of
this
glorious
room
stands
the
Tomb
of
Ch●ops
of
one
piece
of
Marble
,
hollow
within
,
and
sounding
like
a
bell
,
but
empty
:
For
(
saith
Diadorus
)
although
the
Egyptian
Kings
intended
these
for
their
Sepulchres
,
yet
it
happened
that
they
were
not
buried
therein
:
For
the
people
being
exasperated
against
them
by
reason
of
the
toilsomnesse
of
these
works
,
and
for
their
cruelty
,
and
oppression
,
threatned
to
tear
in
pieces
their
dead
bodies
,
and
with
ignominy
to
throw
them
out
of
their
Sepulchres
,
wherefore
they
commanded
their
friends
when
they
were
dead
to
bury
them
in
some
obscure
place
.
The
Tomb
is
cut
smooth
,
and
plain
,
without
any
sculpture
,
and
ingraving
:
the
outsides
contain
in
length
seven
foot
,
three
inches
,
and
a
half
.
In
depth
it
's
three
foot
,
and
almost
four
inches
,
and
the
same
in
breadth
:
The
hollow
part
within
is
something
more
then
six
foot
long
,
the
depth
is
somewhat
above
two
feet
:
whereby
it
appears
that
mens
bodies
are
now
as
big
as
they
were
3000
years
ago
:
For
it
's
almost
so
long
since
this
Tomb
was
made
.
This
Pyramid
was
20
years
in
making
,
and
yet
there
were
three
hundred
threescore
,
and
six
thousand
men
continually
working
about
it
,
who
onely
in
Radishes
,
Garlicks
,
and
Onions
are
said
to
have
consumed
eighteen
hundred
Talents
.

The
Egyptian
Mummi's
described
.
Not
far
from
this
Pyramid
in
Egypt
are
the
Mummi's
which
were
the
graves
of
the
ancient
Egyptians
into
which
are
descents
not
unlike
to
the
narrow
mouths
of
Wells
,
some
neer
ten
fathoms
deep
leading
into
long
vaults
hewen
out
of
the
Rock
with
pillars
of
the
same
.
Between
every
Arch
lie
the
corpses
rank'd
one
by
another
of
all
sizes
,
which
are
innumerable
,
shrowded
in
a
number
of
folds
of
Linnen
,
and
swathed
with
bands
of
the
same
,
the
breasts
of
divers
being
stained
with
Hierogliphical
Characters
:
The
Linnen
being
pulled
off
,
the
bodies
appear
solid
,
uncorrupt
,
and
perfect
in
all
their
dimensions
;
whereof
the
musculous
parts
are
of
a
brown
colour
,
hard
as
stone-pitch
,
and
hath
in
Physick
the
like
operation
,
onely
more
sovereign
.
To
keep
these
from
putrefactions
,
they
drew
the
brains
out
at
the
nostrils
with
an
iron
instrument
,
replenishing
the
head
with
preservative
spices
:
then
cutting
up
the
belly
with
an
AEthiopian
stone
,
they
took
forth
the
bowels
,
cleansed
the
inside
with
Wine
,
and
so
stuffing
it
with
a
composition
of
Myrrhe
,
Cassia
,
and
other
odours
they
closed
it
up
again
:
The
like

from

Lake
of

whereby
they

there
for

thousand

The
Lake
of
Maeris
described
.
Maeris
,
one
of
the
Egyptian
Kings
,
undertook
,
and
finished
that
most
admirable
Lake
,
which
for
greatnesse
,
and
colour
is
like
a
Sea
:
It
's
about
six
hundred
furlongs
from
the
City
of
Memphis
,
the
circumference
of
it

;
the
depth
of
it
is
fifty
fathom
,
or
three
hundred
feet
;
many
myriads
of
men
were
imployed
for
many
years
about
it
.
The
benefit
of
it
to
the
Egyptians
,
and
the
wisdom
of
the
King
cannot
be
sufficiently
commended
:
For
seeing
the
rising
of
Nilus
is
not
alwaies
alike
,
and
the
Countrey
is
more
fruitful
by
the
moderatenesse
thereof
:
He
digged
this
Lake
to
receive
the
superfluity
of
the
water
,
that
neither
by
the
greatnesse
of
the
inundation
it
should
cause
Marshes
,
or
by
the
scarcity
of
water
the
earth
should
not
yield
her
strength
,
he
therefore
cut
a
ditch
from
the
River
to
this
Lake
of
80
furlongs
,
and
three
hundred
feet
in
breadth
,
by
which
sometimes
receiving
in
,
and
sometimes
diverting
the
River
he
gave
a
sufficient
quantity
of
water
to
the
husbandmen
.
After
the
Kings
name
it
's
called
the
Lake
of
Maeris
.
In
the
middest
of
it
he
built
a
Sepulchre
,
and
two
Pyramids
each
of
them
of
an
hundred
fathoms
high
,
placing
upon
them
two
Marble
Statues
sitting
on
a
Throne
,
one
for
himself
,
the
other
for
his
wife
,
seeking
hereby
to
get
an
immortal
memory
.
The
Revenues
of
the
fish
of
this
Lake
he
gave
to
his
wife
for
to
buy
her
unguents
,
and
other
ornaments
:
the
fishing
being
worth
to
her
a
Talent
a
day
:
For
it
was
mightily
replenished
with
Fish
of
twenty
two
sorts
;
so
that
very
many
were
continually
imployed
in
salting
of
them

Porsenna
King
of
Hetruria

not

built
for
himself
a
Monument
of
square
stone
,
each
side
of
it
was
three
hundred
foot
broad
,
and
fifty
foot

;
within

square
Basis
there
was
an
inextricable
labyrinth
,
into
which
whosoever
adventured
without
a
clue
could
find
no

Upon
this
square
he
erected
five
Pyramids

upon
them
(

were

erected
five
other

The
Temple
of
Diana
described
.
THe
Temple
of
Diana
at
Ephesus
was
one
of
the
Worlds
Wonders
:
Two
hundred
,
and
twenty
years
were
spent
in
the
building
of
it
:
It
was
built
upon
a
Marish
to
prevent
hurt
by
earthquakes
,
which
were
very
common
in
those
parts
:
the
first
foundation
was
laid
upon
Coles
,
the
second
upon
Wooll
:
It
was
four
hundred
and
twenty
five
foot
long
,
two
hundred
broad
:
There
were
in
it
one
hundred
and
twenty
seven
Pillars
,
sixty
foot
in
height
,
and
thirty
six
of
them
curiously
wrought
,
the
works
of
so
many
Kings
.
The
doores
of
the
Temple
were
of
Cypresse
,
which
after
four
hundred
years
were
as
fresh
as
if
they
had
been
new
made
:
The
roof
was
of
Cedar
:
The
Image

superstition
supposed
to
have
come
down
from
Jupiter
was
made
by
one
Canesia

some
say
of
Ebonie
;
others
of
the
vine
which
had
many
holes
made
,
and
filled
with
Spikenard
the
moisture
whereof
closed
up
the
rifts

The
Hill
Amara
in
AEthiopia
described
.
In
Ethiopia
under
Prete
Janny
,
commonly
called
Prester
,
or
Presbyter
John
,
is
an
hill
called
Amara
,
situated
in
the
navill
of
the
Ethiopian
body
under
the
Equinoctial
line
,
adorned
with
all
variety
of
fruits
,
wholsome
air
,
pleasant
aspect
,
and
prospect
:
yea
Heaven
,
and
Earth
,
Nature
and
Industry
have
all
been
corrivals
to
present
their
riches
to
it
.
It
stands
in
a
great
plain
,
having
no
other
hill
near
it
by
thirty
leagues
,
the
form
of
it
is
round
:
the
rock
is
cut
so
smooth
without
any
unequal
swelling
,
that
to
him
that
stands
beneath
,
it
's
like
an
high
wall
:
the
top
is
overhanged
with
rocks
,
jutting
forth
for
the
space
of
a
mile
:
It
's
above
twenty
leagues
in
the
circuit
,
compassed
with
a
wall
on
the
top
well
wrought
,
that
so
neither
man
,
nor
beast
in
chase
may
fall
down
.
The
top
is
a
level
,
onely
towards
the
South
is
a
rising
hill
beautifying
this
plain
,
whence
issueth
a
pleasant
Spring
which
passeth
thorow
all
that
plain
,
and
paying
its
tribute
to
every
Garden
that
will
exact
it
,
and
making
a
Lake
at
length
,
whence
issueth
a
River
that
from
thence
runneth
into
Nilus
.
The
way
up
to
it
is
cut
out
of
the
rock
not
with
staires
,
but
by
an
easie
ascent
,
so
that
one
may
ride
up
with
ease
,
at
the
foot
whereof
is
a
fair
Gate
with
a
Corps
du
Guard
:
Half
way
up
is
a
fair
,
and
spacious
Hall
cut
out
of
the
rock
with
three
large
windowes
to
it
,
and
at
the
top
is
another
gate
with
the
like
Guard
:
The
air
above
is
wholsome
,
and
delectable
,
so
that
they
live
long
there
without
sicknesse
:
There
are
upon
it
thirty
four
Palaces
standing
by
themselves
,
spacious
,
sumptuous
,
and
beautifull
,
where
the
Princes
of
the
Royall
blood
have
their
abode
with
their
Families
.
There
are
two
Temples
also
,
the
most
beautifull
in
all
Ethiopia
:
There
are
many
flourishing
,
and
fruitfull
Gardens
,
curiously
made
,
and
plentifully
furnished
with
European
fruits
,
as
Pears
,
Pippins
,
&c.
and
of
their
own
,
as
Oranges
,
Citrons
,
Lemons
.
&c.
It
's
also
adorned
with
Cedars
,
Palm-trees
,
&c.
as
also
with
variety
of
herbs
,
and
flowers
to
delight
the
sight
,
taste
,
and
sent
:
There
are
also
Cubaio
Trees
,
pleasant
in
taste
beyond
all
comparison
,
and
great
store
of
Balm-trees
.
There
is
plenty
of
all
sorts
of
Grain
,
and
Corn
,
and
such
charms
of
Birds
as
delight
the
ear
with
their
melodious
warbling
notes
,
and
pleasing
the
eye
with
their
variety
of
colours
,
and
other
creatures
that
adorn
this
Paradise
.
The
aforenamed
Churches
have
their
Pillars
,
and
Roofes
of
stone
,
richly
,
and
cunningly
wrought
,

two
rare
pieces
whereon

Constantinople
wherein
were
one
hundred
and
twenty
thousand

;
nor
that
of

,
wherein
were
seven

thousand
Books
:
For
the
number
in
this
Library
is
numberlesse
,
their
price
inestimable
.
There
are
three
great
Halls
,
each
above
two

large
,
with

The
admirable
High-waies
in
Peru
described
.
In
Peru
in
the
West-Indies
are
two
admirable
High-waies
made
by
the
Ingas
,
or
Emperours
:
The
one
is
by
the
Andes
or
Forrests
from
Pasto
unto
Chile
,
being
nine
hundred
Leagues
long
,
the
Cawsey
five
,
and
twenty
foot
broad
;
and
every
four
leagues
hath
a
stately
house
where
was
provision
of
victuals
,
and
apparel
,
and
every
half
League
,
men
that
stood
ready
to
carry
messages
,
and
orders
from
hand
to
hand
.
The
other
Way
was
thorow
the
Plaines
along
the
coast
of
twenty
five
foot
broad
,
and
on
each
side
a
wall
of
a
mans
height
from
Piura
to
Chile
where
both
the
waies
met
.
This
latter
way
was
between
trees
that
yielded
a
very
pleasant
shadow
in
those
hot
Countreys
,
and
both
of
them
began
at
the
Imperial
City
of

was
the
Image
of
the
Sun
of
one
plate
of
gold
as
thick
again
as
the
other
:
the
face
was
round
with
raies
of
gold
like
flames
of
fire
,
all
of
one
piece
:
It
was
so
big
,
that
it
filled
all
from
one
wall
to
the
other
.
On
both
sides
were
the
bodies
of
their
deceased
Kings
,
embalmed
,
set
in
seates
of
gold
placed

a
champhered
work
of

broad
round
about
the
Temple
:
Beyond
the
Temple
ran
a
cloister
of
four
squares
,
round
about
the
top
whereof
was
such
a
crown
of
champhered
gold
above
a
yard
broad
:
In
the
corners
of
the
cloister
were
Chappels
;
One
whereof
was
dedicated

the
Moon
,
all
which
with
the
Gates
thereof
were
covered
with

of
the
Suns
,
with
the

In
the
house
also

wherein
they
washed
the
sacrifices
:
out
of
them
the
water
ran
in
Pipes
of

many
of
their
pillars
were
of

A
Description
of
Venice
,
with
her
Rarities
.
This
Wonder
of
Cities
is
seated
in
the
bosome
or
betwixt
the
Armes
of
the
Adriatic
Sea
:
It
is
built
upon
sundry
Islands
,
and
is
(
as
it
were
)
chained
together
by
many
Bridges
.
The
occasion
which
made
these
watry
Isles
a
mansion
for
men
,
was
,
when
that
Northern
Deluge
of
Goths
,
Vandals
,
Huns
,
and
Longobards
did
overflow
all
Italy
,
the
people
of
all
sorts
fled
to
these
Lakes
to
avoid
the
Land
torrent
that
was
like
to
swallow
them
up
;
and
finding
the
air
to
be
gentle
,
and
fit
for
habitation
,
and
propagation
,
they
pitched
their
Tents
upon
these
Isles
,
and
associated
them
by
conjoyning
Bridges
.
There
are
seventy
two
Isles
that
support
Venice
.
and
the
nearest
part
of
the
Continent
is
five
miles
distant
:
There
are
banks
,
and
ditches
cast
up
to
preserve
her
from
the
impetuousnesse
of
the
waves
of
the
Sea
,
extending
in
length
above
six
miles
.
She
is
above
eight
miles
in
circuit
,
and
hath
of
all
sorts
about
a
thousand
Bridges
.
Besides
there
be
above
twenty
thousand
Gondolaes
,
or
Boats
which
ply
up
,
and
down
perpetually
,
in
each
of
which
are
two
rowers
at
least
,
so
that
upon
occasion
she
can
suddenly
make
an
Army
of
above
fifty
thousand
Gondoliers
.
Her
Fabriques
publick
,
and
private
are
extraordinary
specious
,
and
sumptuous
,
and
her
streets
so
neat
,
and
evenly
paved
,
that
in
the
depth
of
winter
a
man
may
walk
up
,
and
down
in
a
pair
of
Sattin
Pantables
,
and
Crimson
Silk
stockings
,
and
not
be
dirtied
.
There
are
above
two
hundred
Palaces
fit
to
receive
any
Prince
with
his
ordinary
retinue
:
Her
situation
is
so
rare
,
every
street
almost
having
an
arme
of
the
Sea
running
thorow
it
;
and
her
structures
so
magnificent
,
and
neat
,
that
she
ravisheth
therewith
all
strangers
that
come
to
visit
her
.
She
hath
in
her
one
hundred
and
fifty
Churches
,
and
Monasteries
:
but
especially
three
things
worthy
of
sight
,
viz.
St.
Mark
's
Church
,
and
Steeple
;
the
Treasury
,
and
the
Arsenal
.
S.
Mark
's
Church
is
built
throughout
with
rare
Mosaique
work
,
and
yet
the
furniture
of
the
Church
surpasseth
the
Fabrique
in
richnesse
;
Her
walls
are
inlaid
in
many
places
with
precious
stones
of
divers
colours
,
and
in
such
a
manner
that
they
seem
rather
to
be
the
work
of
Nature
then
of
Art
.
It
's
built
in
the
form
of
a
Crosse
,
whose
corners
are
highly
vaulted
,
and
covered
with
bright
Lead
,
as
all
the
rest
of
the
Church
is
.
The
whole
Bulk
is
supported
with
most
curious
Arches
joyned
together
by
marvellous
Art
.
The
inside
from
the
middle
to
the
highest
part
thereof
glistereth
with
gold
,
and
the
concavity
of
the
vaults
is
enriched
with
divers
curious
,
and
antick
pictures
.
That
which
is
from
the
gilding
down
to
the
pavement
is
excellently
joyned
together
with
goodly
Tables
of
Marble
,
by
whose
pleasant
veins
in
form
of
raies
the
eyes
of
the
beholders
are
rather
fed
then
satisfied
.
The
seats
below
are
of
an
extraordinary
red
stone
like
to
Porphyrie
,
the
Pavement
is
all
of
Marble
engraven
with
divers
Figures
wholly
different
,
and
of
various
colours
:
There
are
sundry
Columnes
and
Tables
of
Parian
,
Spartan
,
and
Numidian
work
that
environ
the
seats
on
both
sides
the
Quire
.
The
entrance
into
the
Church
on
both
sides
is
in
a
manner
of
the
same
trimming
;
while
gilded
Arches
are
sustained
without
by
more
then
three
hundred
exquisite
Pillars
,
the
space
between
those
Pillars
being
filled
with
choyce
Tables
of
Marble
.
On
the
height
of
this
entrance
are
four
great
brazen
horses
all
gilded
over
,
in
a
posture
as
if
running
,
and
neighing
.
All
this
beares
up
the
highest
top
of
the
Church
divided
into
six
Steeples
,
every
of
which
is
like
a
Pyramid
,
and
hath
on
the
sharpest
point
thereof
a
white
Marble
Statue
of
a
naked
man
standing
upright
.
Divers
other
representations
delightful
to
the
eye
,
and
wrought
with
exceeding
skill
do
beautifie
the
spaces
between
the
Steeples
,
and
all
that
which
is
vaulted
underneath
is
covered
with
gold
.
In
sum
,
there
is
no
place
in
the
whole
Church
,
either
within
,
or
without
,
but
it
's
either
adorned
with
Marble
,
gold
,
or
precious
stones
;
so
that
the
two
Columnes
of
Alabaster
,
and
the
Chalcedony
stones
which
are
in
the
middest
of
the
pavement
are
accounted
the
least
curiosities
.
The
Arsenal
of
Venice
is
one
of
the
greatest
Magazines
of
Armes
in
all
the
world
:
It
's
three
miles
in
compasse
,
wherein
there
are
above
three
hundred
Artificers
perpetually
at
work
▪
who
make
,
and
repair
all
things
that
belong
thereto
.
This
Arsenal
hath
Armes
to
furnish
two
hundred
thousand
men
,
and
hath
constantly
belonging
to
it
two
hundred
Gallies
in
Dock
▪
or
abroad
in
course
,
besides
Galliasses
,
and
Galleons
,
with
all
provisions
necessary
for
them
.
The
Treasury
of
St.
Mark
is
cryed
up
through
the
world
:
They
say
there
is
enough
in
it
to
pay
six
Kings
Ransomes
.
There

,
and
sizes
,
Diamonds

a
Gentleman
of
Venice
:
There
you

an
Armour
all
of
massie
Gold
,
beset
all
over
with
great
Pearles
,
Turkies
,
Rubies
,
and
all
manner
of
precious
stones
in
such
a
quantity
,
and
bignesse
,
that
they
alone
would
make
a
rich
Treasury
.
There
are
also
twelve
Corslets
of
Gold
beset
with
precious
stones
.
There
is
an
huge
gold
Chain
that

:
Divers
Chests
of
Gold
,
and
amongst

one
great
Iron

Inscription
,
When

the
whole
Earth
shall
tremble
.
There
are
two
large
Unicorn's
horns
.
A
great
Bottel
made
of
a
Chalcedonian
stone
transparent
,
and
clear
,
which
will
hold
above
a
quart
.
There
is
a
Garnet
of
a
vast
size
formed
into
the
shape
of
a
Kettle
which
will
hold
neer
a
Gallon
.
There
are
many
Crosses
,
and
Crucifixes
of
massie
Gold
beset

Jewels
of
all

:
There
are
the
Crownes
of
Cyprus
,
and
Candie
,
as
also
that
of
the
Dukes
of
Venice
all
inlaid
with
choice
rich
Diamonds
,
great
Rubies
,
Emerauds
,
Saphires
,
and
other
stones
that
would
beget
astonishment
in
the
beholders
.
In
that
of
the
Dukes
there
is
one
great
Rubie
worth
an
hundred
thousand
Crownes
.
There
are
Cups
of
sundry
formes
cut
out
of
rich
stones
,
with
Dishes
of
sundry
kinds
.
There
are
divers
Presses
full
of
Plate
,
huge
,
and
massie
,
with
Statues
of
silver
,
and
large
Chalices
of
gold
,
and
variety
of
other
rich
things
,
the
worth
whereof
no
eye
is
able
to
judge
.
There
are
moreover
twelve
Crownes
of
massie
Gold
which
were
taken
at
the
sacking
of
Constantinople
when
the
French
,
and
Venetians
divided
the
spoyles
.
Pacheeo
the
Spanish
Ambassadour
coming
to
see
this
Treasury
,
fell
a
groping
whether
it
had
any
bottom
and
being
asked
why
?
answered
;
In
this
amongst
other
things
my
great
Master's
Treasure
differs
from
yours
,
in
that
his
hath
no
bottom
as
I
find
yours
to
have
.

these
Furnaces
be
removed
to
any
other
Island
,
or
but
to
the
other
side
of
the
street
,
though
they
use
the
same
men
,
materials
,
and
fuel
,
yet
can
they
not
make
Glasse
in
the

perfections
for
beauty

The
City
of
Millan
described
.
The
City
of
Millan
in
Italy
lies
within
a
stately
Wall
of
ten
miles
compasse
.
It
's
situated
in
a
great
Plain
,
and
hath
about
it
green
Hills
,
delightfull
Medowes
,
Navigable
Rivers
,
enjoyes
an
wholsome
ayr
,
and
the
fertile
Countrey
about
it
furnisheth
it
with
all
store
of
necessary
provision
.
The
City
it self
is
thronged
with
Artisans
of
all
sorts
.
There
be
many
stately
Churches
in
it
,
and
before
that
of
St.
Lorenzo
there
stand
sixteen
Marble
Pillars
being
a
remnant
of
the
Temple
of
Hercules
.
But
of
all
the
Churches
the
Cathedral
is
most
costly
.
'T
is
all
of
white
Marble
,
and
about
it
are
five
hundred
Statues
of
the
same
:
There
is
a
late
building
added
to
it
which
is
very
glorious
,
especially
for
the
huge
Pillars
of
Granito
,
an
excellent
sort
of
Marble
:
Private
mens
houses
also
in
Millan
are
not
inferiour
to
those
of
other
Cities
in
Italy
.
The
streets
are
of
a
more
then
common
breadth
,
and
there
are
very
many
Gardens
within
the
Walls
.
The
greatest
Hospital
in
Italy
is
that
in
Millan
,
which
is
a
square
of
Columnes
,
and
Porches
six
hundred
Roods
about
,
seeming
fitter
to
be
a
Court
for
some
King
,
then
an
Hospital
for
the
poor
.
The
Castle
in
Millan
is
accounted
by
all
Engineers
the
fairest

The
City
of
Naples
described
.
Naples
the
Metropolis
of
that
Kingdome
stands
upon
the
shore
of
the
Mediterranean
Sea
:
It
's
reckoned
the
third
City
in
Italy
,
and
so
great
are
the
delights
that
nature
hath
allotted
to
this
place
,
that
it
's
still
frequented
by
persons
of
great
quality
.
The
streets
of
it
are
generally
well
paved
of
free
stone
,
large
,
and
even
:
The
Houses
are
very
uniform
,
built
flat
on
the
top
to
walk
on
;
a
notable
convenience
in
those
hot
Countreys
.
Another
like
accommodation
which
this
City
hath
against
the
heat
,
is
the
Mole
,
which
is
an
Artificial
street
casting
it self
into
the
Sea
,
whither
all
the
Gentry
at
the
evenings
resort
to
take
the
Fresco.
Amongst
the
Palaces
that
of
the
Vice-Kings
is
the
fairest
:
It
hath
three
Castles
;
and
the
Churches
generally
are
very
curious
,
and
costly
filled
with
Marble
Statues
.
This
City
is
exceeding
populous
,
and
consequently
vicious
:
He
that
desires
to
live
a
chaste
life
must
not
set
up
there
:
For
as
their
Gardens
are
well
filled
with
Oranges
,
so
their
houses
want
not
Lemmons
;
there
are
usually
thirty
thousand
Courtesans
Registred
that
pay
taxes
for
their
pleasure
.
Near
unto
Naples
is
Virgil's
Tomb

an
High
Rock

And
the
Crypta
Neapolitana
in
the
rocky
Mountain
Pausylippus
,
cut
thorow
,
very
high
,
spacious
,
and
well
paved
,
so
that
for
the
space
of
a
mile
two
Coaches
may
go
on
Front
under
the
earth
:
In
the
middest
is
a
Madonna
with
a
Lamp
perpetually
burning
.
Not
far
off
is
the
hill
of
Brimstone
on
which
neither
grasse
nor
any
Herb
growes
;
but
't
is
all
white
with
ashes
,
and
ever
casts
out
of
several
holes
a
contin●●l
smoke
,
with
Flames
making
the
very
earth
to
boyl
.
The
ground
is
hollow
underneath
,
and
makes
an
hideous
noise
if
struck
upon
with
an
hammer
.
On
the
other
side
Naples
is
the
Mountain
of
Vesuvius
,
brother
to
AEtna
,
upon
the
top
whereof
is
a
terrifying
spectacle
,
viz.
a
Vorago
,
or
hole
about
three
miles
in
compasse
,
and
half
as
much
in
depth
,
and
in
the
middest
is
a
new
hill
that
still
vomits
thick
smoke
which
the
fire
within
hath
raised
within
these
few
years
,
and
it
still
daily
encreaseth
.
Pliny

too
inquisitive

Round
about
this
Room
are
an
infinite
number
of
Natural

and
Artificial
curiosities
:
As
the
Emperour's

Next
is
the

From
hence
is
a
private
passage
to
the
Duke's
Court
on
the
other
side
of
the
River
:
The

of
which
edifice
is
very
Majestique
,
towards
the
Basis
of
Dorick
work
,
in
the
middest

Ionick
,
and
the

a
Grotto
with
Statues
,
and
a
Fountain
over
it
;
and
a
Loadstone
of
a
most
prodigious
greatnesse
.
The
Gardens
belonging

it
for
their
largenesse
have
the
Face
of
a
Forrest
,
for
their
variety
of
a
Paradise
.
Here

Marble
.
The
Cupola
is
so
high
,
that
the
brasse
Globe
at
the
top
will
hold
sixteen
persons
:
No
lesse
excellent
is
the
Steeple
composed
of
the
same
stone
,
and
materials
with
the
Church
,
but
with
more
Art
,
and
Ornaments
.
The
Chappel
of
St.
Laurence
seems
more
then
terrestrial
:
It
's
wholly
overlaid
with
fine
polished
stones
,
neither
is
there
any
colour
upon
Earth
but
it
's
there
in
stones
naturally
.
Near
to
this
is
a
famous
Library
filled
with
great
variety
of
Manuscripts
.

The
first
Invention
of
Printing
.
Laurence
Jans
,
a
rich
Citizen
of
Harlem
in
the
Low-Countreys
,
walking
forth
one
day
into
the
neighbouring
Woods
for
recreation
,
began
to
cut
in
pieces
of
wood
the
letters
of
his
name
,
printing
them
on
the
back
of
his
hand
;
which
pleasing
him
well
,
he
cut
three
or
four
lines
which
he
beat
with
Ink
,
and
printed
them
upon
Paper
,
wherewith
he
much
joyed
,
and
determined
to
find
out
another
kind
of
Ink
more
fastening
,
and
holding
,
and
so
with
his
kinsman
Thomas
Peterse
,
found
out
another
way
to
print
whole
sheets
,
but
of
one
side
onely
,
which
are
yet
to
be
seen
in
the
said
Town
:
afterwards
he
changed
his
letters
of
Wood
into
Lead
,
and
after
that
into
Tinne
,
and
so
by
degrees
this
famous
Art
of
Printing
grew
to
perfection

The
first
Invention
of
Guns
.
A
German
Frier
of
the
Order
of
St.
Francis
called
Bertholdus
Swart
,
being
very
studious
of
Chymistry
,
as
he
was
one
Evening
(
for
the
finding
out
of
some
experiment
)
very
busie
in
tempering
Brimstone
,
Sulphureous
powder
of
dryed
earth
,
and
certain
other
ingredients
in
a
Mortar
which
he
covered
with
a
stone
:
when
it
grew
dark
he
took
〈…〉
tinder-box
to
light
him
a
candle
,
a
spark
whereof
by
chance
flying
into
the
Mortar
,
caught
hold
of
the
Brimstone
,
and
Salt-Peter
,
and
firing
with
〈◊〉
sudden
flash
blew
up
the
stone
.
The
cunning
Chymist
guessing
which
of
his
ingredients
it
was
which
wrought
this
effect
,
never
left
till
he
found
out
the
certainty
,
and
then
taking
an
iron
pipe
he
crammed
it
full
of
the
said
ingredient
together
with
some
stones
,
and
so
putting
fire
to
it
he
saw
that
with
great
fury
,
and
noise
it
discharged
it self
:
Soon
after
which
he
communicated
this
his
Invention
to
the
Venetians
,
who
,
having
been
often
vanquished
by
the
Genowaies
,
did
by
the
help
of
these
Bombards
,
or
Guns
,
give
them
a
notable
discomfiture
