A
TREATISE
TO
COMFORT
THE
SICKE
,
AND
TO
ASSVRE
THEM
AGAINST
THE
FEARES
AND
APPREHENSIONS
OF
THEIR
SINS
,
OF
DEATH
,
OF
THE
DIVEL
,
of
the
Law
,
and
of
the
Anger
and
Iudgement
of
God
.
THE
life
of
all
men
that
liue
in
the
world
is
besieged
on
euery
side
with
many
aduersities
;
whereof
some
are
particular
to
some
,
and
the
others
are
generall
and
common
to
all
,
as
are
Death
,
and
the
diseases
which
tend
therevnto
,
the
which
ordinarily
astonish
vs
by
so
much
the
more
,
as
they
are
more
dangerous
,
and
that
there
is
lesse
meanes
to
auoid
them
.
For
although
that
Kings
,
Emperours
,
and
other
Princes
,
and
great
Lords
can
sometimes
(
with
the
helpe
of
God
,
and
the
great
meanes
which
hee
hath
administred
vnto
them
preserue
and
warrant
themselues
from
many
dangers
;
yet
none
of
them
can
saue
or
exempt
themselues
,
but
in
the
end
they
must
die
,
either
in
the
warres
,
by
the
sword
,
or
in
their
beds
through
age
or
sicknesse
,
or
elsewhere
,
by
such
accidents
,
as
God
by
his
prouidence
,
euen
before
they
were
borne
,
had
appointed
vnto
them
:
which
Dauid
teacheth
vs
in
many
places
,
as
in
the
82.
Psalme
where
he
speakes
of
Princes
.
Item
elsewhere
where
he
speakes
in
general
of
the
condition
and
end
of
all
men
.
or
And
againe
in
the
Psalme
following
.
Thou
grindest
man
through
griefe
and
paine
,
So
here
we
see
it
is
an
inuiolable
decree
and
ordinance
of
God
,
that
all
men
that
come
into
the
world
,
come
with
this
charge
not
to
stay
there
long
,
like
vnto
trees
,
which
are
fastned
to
it
by
the
rootes
;
but
to
thrill
lightly
through
it
as
doth
the
water
,
And
although
that
the
ends
and
occasions
are
not
all
alike
,
neuerthelesse
the
Author
of
it
is
alike
,
as
hee
is
of
health
:
for
it
is
from
the
mouth
and
ordinance
of
God
,
as
saith
Ieremy
,
Acknowledging
that
the
sicknesse
wherewith
he
was
so
grieuously
afflicted
,
was
an
effect
of
the
wrath
of
God
whom
he
had
offended
.
As
much
saith
he
of
it
:
Ezechias
and
Iob
likewise
do
not
attribute
their
sicknesse
to
any
other
but
to
God
▪
It
is
true
indeed
that
that
which
happeneth
vnto
vs
directly
of
his
goodnesse
,
is
more
answerable
to
our
taste
,
then
that
which
is
of
his
iustice
;
as
it
happens
also
,
that
in
the
workes
of
nature
,
some
of
them
are
more
pleasant
vnto
vs
then
others
,
the
day
is
more
agreeable
then
the
night
,
and
Sommer
then
Winter
,
After
that
we
are
resolued
in
our
minds
;
that
not
only
the
sicknesses
,
but
also
all
other
euils
,
happen
vnto
vs
by
the
prouidence
of
God
,
and
that
from
them
we
haue
gathered
all
the
comforts
which
may
be
drawne
:
Then
,
to
comfort
vs
yet
more
,
we
must
consider
who
is
this
God
that
sends
them
vnto
vs
,
and
how
neare
he
is
vnto
vs
;
for
it
is
not
such
a
God
as
are
those
that
these
foolish
people
worship
,
Now
this
most
good
and
most
great
God
is
not
farre
from
vs
,
S.
Paul
,
when
we
are
enimies
,
we
were
reconciled
vnto
him
by
the
death
of
his
Sonne
;
much
more
rather
being
already
reconciled
vnto
him
,
shall
we
be
deliuered
by
his
life
;
Is
there
any
thing
more
absurd
then
to
thinke
that
God
who
is
the
soueraigne
good
,
can
be
the
authour
of
any
euill
;
The
Heretikes
themselues
as
Marcion
,
and
the
Manicheans
,
for
the
horror
which
they
had
of
such
a
blasphemy
,
would
establish
two
principles
;
the
one
of
life
and
of
the
light
,
the
other
of
death
and
of
darkenesse
,
not
being
able
to
perswade
themselues
that
of
God
,
For
seeing
God
is
alwaies
like
vnto
himselfe
,
and
that
in
him
,
as
saith
S.
Iames
,
And
S.
Peter
after
he
had
so
oftentimes
denyed
his
Master
,
euen
cursing
and
swearing
that
he
neuer
knew
him
;
Would
hee
not
haue
perseuered
therein
,
and
altogither
haue
abandoned
the
Church
of
God
as
wel
as
Iudas
,
and
infinite
more
Apostates
,
that
goe
from
it
euery
day
,
if
Iesus
Christ
had
not
cast
his
eye
vpon
him
,
S.
Paul
who
like
vnto
a
furious
rauening
beast
,
sought
euery
where
for
Christians
to
slay
and
deuour
them
;
would
he
euer
haue
repented
of
these
faults
?
But
to
the
contrary
,
would
hee
not
haue
beene
obstinate
and
hardened
,
Ere
thou
didst
touch
me
with
thy
rod
,
It
is
then
a
thing
very
profitable
to
man
,
to
haue
sicknesse
and
all
other
aduersities
,
which
happen
vnto
vs
,
when
wee
can
vse
them
well
;
for
they
make
vs
to
know
and
feele
our
sinnes
;
As
to
the
contrary
health
and
prosperity
makes
vs
to
forget
them
;
for
when
in
prime
of
age
,
we
are
healthfull
and
Iustie
,
and
that
all
things
smile
vpon
vs
,
wee
thinke
vpon
nothing
but
of
leaping
and
dancing
like
to
yong
fawnes
&
yong
beasts
.
Nebuchadnezzar
,
Antiochus
Theus
,
Xerxes
,
Alexander
;
King
Herode
,
Domitian
,
who
became
so
insolent
and
proud
,
by
reason
of
their
prosperitie
,
that
they
would
compare
themselues
with
God
;
Which
Philip
of
Macedone
considering
,
because
that
by
the
happie
successe
of
his
businesse
hee
should
not
come
to
fall
into
such
an
arrogancy
,
appointed
one
of
his
Gentlemen
of
his
chamber
,
to
say
to
him
euerie
morning
at
his
awaking
,
Remember
(
Philip
)
that
thou
art
a
mortall
man
;
and
did
verie
wisely
therein
,
foreseeing
that
prosperitie
is
a
verie
slippery
thing
,
which
makes
men
drunke
,
S.
Peter
was
seased
vpon
,
S.
Peter
made
them
,
for
that
they
had
so
vildly
consented
to
the
death
of
Iesus
Christ
,
to
obey
vnto
the
appetite
and
desire
of
the
high
Priests
?
Where
is
this
griefe
and
sorrow
of
heart
wherewith
Dauid
was
pressed
,
when
groaning
and
sighing
he
said
?
S.
Peter
)
purifies
the
heart
;
S.
Paul
,
that
there
is
no
condemnation
for
those
that
are
ingrafted
by
faith
into
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
?
Now
those
which
liue
according
to
the
flesh
,
and
that
haue
no
feare
to
doe
that
which
God
forbiddeth
,
and
to
the
contrary
to
omit
that
which
he
hath
commanded
,
how
can
they
auoide
the
sentence
of
death
and
malediction
,
giuen
and
pronounced
in
the
law
against
all
those
that
transgresse
it
,
seeing
withal
that
they
doe
it
wittingly
and
willingly
of
set
purpose
?
Item
,
to
be
condemned
to
euerlasting
death
,
and
consigned
for
euer
to
fire
and
torments
with
the
diuell
and
the
reprobate
,
seeing
that
it
is
the
recompence
and
reward
of
sinnes
and
for
conclusion
,
that
hee
hath
deserued
to
be
buried
in
hell
,
and
there
in
the
flame
to
suffer
such
torments
as
doth
the
euill
rich
man
,
Item
,
that
Iesus
Christ
hath
bought
vs
againe
from
the
malediction
and
curse
of
the
law
,
when
he
was
made
a
curse
for
vs
;
(
for
it
is
written
,
And
it
makes
no
matter
what
manner
of
sinnes
,
not
in
what
number
they
be
,
so
they
be
not
sinnes
against
the
holy
Ghost
,
not
yet
in
what
sort
and
manner
they
haue
bene
committed
,
whether
by
ignorance
,
weakenesse
,
or
of
set
malice
;
for
the
sin
cannot
so
much
abound
,
but
the
grace
of
God
which
is
procured
vs
by
the
death
and
iustice
of
Iesus
Christ
doth
yet
more
abound
.
And
although
that
the
sinne
being
committed
against
the
infinit
maiesty
of
God
,
be
also
for
that
regard
reputed
infinite
,
yet
that
hinders
not
that
the
bloud
of
Christ
,
which
by
the
eternall
spirit
hath
offered
him selfe
to
God
himselfe
without
any
spot
,
doth
cleanse
our
consciences
from
dead
works
;
to
serue
the
liuing
God
,
Let
Israel
then
boldly
In
the
Lord
put
his
trust
,
And
else
where
.
And
Iesus
Christ
who
is
the
soueraigne
medicine
of
our
soules
,
and
who
came
into
the
world
but
to
seeke
those
that
were
lost
,
and
to
heale
that
which
was
sicke
,
and
(
as
saith
the
Prophet
)
to
beare
our
infirmities
;
We
may
plainly
see
it
in
the
examples
of
the
Publicane
,
of
the
woman
sinner
,
of
the
prodigall
,
of
the
good
theefe
,
of
Dauid
,
of
St.
Peter
,
And
how
can
we
doubt
of
it
,
seeing
wee
carry
it
printed
and
sealed
,
not
only
in
our
hearts
and
consciences
,
but
also
in
our
bodies
,
with
the
two
great
seales
of
the
Chancellor
of
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
,
to
wit
,
Baptisme
and
the
Lords
Supper
?
Let
then
the
sicke
assure
themselues
,
that
beleeuing
the
remission
of
his
sinnes
,
hee
obtaine
.
It
presently
;
For
hee
dealeth
with
vs
according
to
our
faith
.
And
S.
Ambrose
writes
,
that
all
that
we
beleeue
we
obtaine
;
for
we
cannot
beleeue
but
what
God
hath
told
and
promised
vs
,
who
is
so
faithfull
and
true
in
his
promises
,
S.
Paul
to
the
Romans
.
)
I
am
assured
that
neither
Death
,
nor
Life
,
nor
Angels
,
nor
Principallities
,
nor
Power
,
nor
things
present
,
nor
things
to
come
,
nor
heigth
,
nor
depth
,
nor
any
other
creature
shall
bee
able
to
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
God
which
he
beareth
vs
in
Christ
Iesus
our
Lord
.
And
a
little
before
this
passage
.
What
shall
separate
vs
from
the
loue
of
Christ
?
shall
it
be
tribulation
or
anguish
,
or
persecution
,
or
hunger
,
or
nakednesse
,
or
perill
,
or
sword
?
All
men
then
that
haue
beene
ingrafted
once
by
faith
into
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
by
consequent
adopted
of
God
,
and
receiued
into
his
fauour
,
and
into
his
house
as
his
child
,
neuer
departs
from
thence
afterwards
;
But
as
he
is
assured
of
his
election
by
his
vocation
and
iustification
,
which
haue
followed
;
Dauid
,
S.
Peter
,
S.
Paul
,
and
almost
to
all
the
Saints
,
yea
the
perfectest
that
euer
were
;
neuer
he
lesse
there
is
a
point
vpon
the
which
we
should
be
alwaies
grounded
,
and
which
ought
greatly
to
comfort
vs
,
and
vphold
vs
against
all
the
assaults
and
temptations
of
Sathan
;
which
is
that
which
Saint
Iohn
saith
,
S.
Iohn
cals
to
death
.
For
although
that
faith
bee
sometimes
as
it
were
buried
in
them
,
hauing
not
any
mouing
,
nor
feeling
no
more
then
a
dead
thing
;
neuerthelesse
,
it
is
not
altogither
quenched
,
no
more
then
a
fire
couered
in
the
ashes
,
Though
that
he
fall
,
All
these
passages
and
others
like
out
of
the
Scripture
must
be
alleaged
to
the
sicke
to
strengthen
their
faith
on
euery
side
,
and
to
furnish
and
arme
it
strongly
against
the
inflamed
darts
and
arrowes
of
the
Diuell
,
to
the
end
that
on
which
side
soeuer
hee
may
shoote
them
,
hee
may
not
finde
any
place
bare
,
where
hee
may
reach
or
wound
him
;
For
wee
must
not
doubt
but
then
hee
will
vse
all
his
forces
,
and
all
his
sleights
,
for
to
shake
our
faith
and
to
ouercome
vs
.
But
the
meanes
to
defend
our selues
,
is
,
to
keepe
our selues
alwaies
in
our
fortresse
,
and
neuer
to
depart
from
the
promises
of
God
,
whatsoeuer
hee
can
alleadge
to
the
contrary
;
Let
vs
propound
vnto
him
that
which
I
say
,
saith
,
that
Israel
is
saued
by
the
Lord
,
with
an
eternall
saluation
,
In
iudgment
with
thy
seruant
Lord
Oh
enter
not
at
all
,
And
else
where
.
And
that
St.
Augustine
in
his
booke
of
Confessions
saith
this
good
and
memorable
sentence
;
Mishap
to
all
our
righteousnesse
,
if
it
be
examined
and
iudged
without
mercy
.
But
neuerthelesse
that
cannot
hinder
,
but
God
will
giue
vs
eternall
life
as
he
hath
promised
;
prouided
that
wee
know
,
feele
and
confesse
our
indignity
;
For
there
is
nothing
that
makes
vs
capable
,
and
(
if
it
may
bee
so
spoken
)
worthy
of
the
fauours
and
blessings
of
our
God
,
but
the
knowledge
and
feeling
which
wee
haue
in
our selues
to
bee
altogither
vnworthy
of
them
.
And
what
worthinesse
could
bee
noted
in
the
Theefe
hanged
vpon
the
Crosse
,
at
one
of
the
sides
of
Iesus
Christ
,
who
had
continued
in
his
theeuery
and
wickednesse
vntill
the
extremity
of
his
life
,
Whose
hands
are
harmelesse
,
And
addeth
afterward
.
Him
that
is
such
a
one
,
the
Lord
Shall
place
in
blessefull
plight
,
And
God
his
God
and
Sauiour
,
Shall
yeeld
to
him
his
right
.
This
is
the
broode
of
Trauellers
,
In
seeking
of
his
grace
,
As
Iacob
did
the
Israelites
,
In
that
time
of
his
race
.
For
to
giue
to
vnderstand
,
that
what
duty
soeuer
wee
haue
done
in
obeying
to
God
,
in
washing
our
hearts
from
all
euill
thoughts
and
affections
,
and
our
handes
from
all
euill
workes
,
in
humbling
,
our selues
vnder
the
hand
of
God
,
and
presuming
nothing
of
our selues
,
nor
of
our
vertues
;
neuerthelesse
that
for
all
that
,
we
shall
not
goe
vp
into
the
mountaine
of
our
Lord
,
but
that
it
shall
bee
only
in
fauour
of
the
grace
which
hee
giueth
vs
,
and
of
the
mercy
that
it
pleaseth
him
to
shew
towards
vs
.
And
it
is
much
better
(
to
comfort
and
assure
vs
our
hope
entirely
,
that
it
be
grounded
vpon
his
mercy
and
truth
,
which
are
firme
and
immoueable
,
then
vpon
the
dignitie
of
our
workes
and
vertues
,
which
are
so
imperfect
.
Now
when
yee
shall
see
the
sicke
well
resolued
of
the
remission
of
all
his
sinnes
,
and
that
in
his
heart
there
shall
no
more
remayne
any
feare
of
them
,
that
doth
any
more
trouble
his
conscience
;
then
you
must
proceede
farther
,
and
arme
him
against
the
horrour
and
apprehension
that
hee
may
haue
of
death
,
in
shewing
vnto
him
out
of
the
word
of
God
,
that
it
hath
bene
done
away
,
and
swallowed
vp
by
the
death
of
Iesus
Christ
,
who
speaking
by
the
mouth
of
the
Prophet
,
sayeth
to
Death
,
ano
eis
ton
theon
;
in
French
is
,
now
vp
to
God
,
and
Telutin

:
as
if
he
would
say
that
death
is
like
vnto
a
solemne
ceremonie
,
by
the
which
the
faithfull
are
altogether
consecrated
and
dedicated
to
God
,
for
afterwards
to
apply
themselues
to
no
other
exercise
then
to
sing
the
praises
of
God
and
to
sanctifie
his
holy
name
.
And
for
that
regard
Iesus
Christ
did
also
call
it
Baptisme
,
Alas
too
long
I
slacke
Within
the
tents
so
blacke
,
Elias
seeing
that
the
people
of
Israel
had
forsaken
God
,
Against
all
dangers
from
henceforth
▪
Thy
soule
he
will
preserue
,
And
to
thy
deedes
for
euermore
A
happy
end
reserue
.
And
that
which
ought
to
increase
this
desire
,
is
,
that
going
from
hence
,
we
shall
be
sodainly
transported
into
heauen
,
where
we
shall
see
God
face
to
face
,
and
Iesus
Christ
in
his
glory
;
Which
is
a
fight
that
rauisheth
the
Angels
,
and
all
the
happy
Spirits
,
in
such
sort
that
they
desire
nor
seeke
after
any
thing
else
for
their
perfect
contentment
,
as
saith
the
Prophet
,
I
set
the
Lord
still
in
my
sight
,
The
Queene
of
Saba
hauing
seen
Salomon
and
vnderstood
his
great
wisedome
by
the
resolution
which
he
had
giuen
vpon
all
the
points
and
questions
,
Iohn
Baptist
,
Simeon
,
&
the
Apostles
saw
him
;
what
felicity
ought
we
at
this
day
to
esteem
it
,
when
by
death
wee
are
so
happy
to
see
him
in
his
glory
&
maiesty
,
clothed
with
his
roial
robe
,
sitting
on
the
right
hand
of
God
his
Father
,
hauing
authority
and
power
in
heauen
and
earth
,
to
gouerne
&
dispose
of
all
things
according
to
his
good
pleasure
,
and
holding
al
his
enimies
as
a
foot-stoole
,
vnder
his
feete
?
When
he
transfigured
himself
in
the
mountaine
,
Peter
,
Iohn
,
&
Iames
,
because
they
had
only
seen
as
it
were
passing
by
,
a
small
splendour
of
his
glory
,
were
sodainly
so
rauished
and
transported
with
it
,
that
forgetting
in
an
instant
all
other
things
,
they
desired
for
all
happinesse
,
but
that
the
pleasure
which
they
felt
at
that
houre
,
might
alwaies
continue
with
them
.
Then
let
vs
now
thinke
,
if
〈◊〉
patterne
,
and
as
it
were
a
finall
drop
of
the
life
and
glory
to
come
,
hath
had
so
much
power
as
to
rauish
the
Disciples
&
to
transport
them
forth
of
themselues
;
what
shall
become
of
vs
,
when
according
to
our
hope
we
shall
haue
the
whole
power
,
and
shall
drinke
in
that
brooke
,
or
to
speake
better
,
in
that
Sea
of
pleasure
,
and
all
perfect
contentment
,
when
this
sempitern
all
happinesse
whereof
the
Prophet
speaketh
,
shall
bee
powred
on
our
heads
?
Moreouer
,
shall
not
this
ioy
redouble
when
with
Iesus
Christ
we
shall
see
and
behold
all
this
faire
and
noble
company
of
Angels
,
Archangels
,
Principallities
,
Powers
,
Patriarks
,
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
and
Martyrs
,
and
generally
all
the
Church
triumphant
of
the
happy
Spirits
,
who
occupy
and
exercise
themselues
in
nothing
else
,
but
without
ceasing
to
sing
the
praises
of
God
,
saying
,
Holy
,
holy
,
holy
,
O
God
thy
house
I
loue
most
deare
Item
else
where
.
All
these
passages
,
and
many
other
sufficiently
shew
in
what
estimation
hee
had
the
holy
assemblies
,
which
he
preferred
before
all
other
pleasure
.
And
to
say
true
,
all
men
that
know
and
feele
in
themselues
what
the
loue
,
the
goodnesse
,
gentlenesse
,
mercy
,
clemency
,
benignity
,
wisdome
,
faithfulnes
,
patience
,
verity
,
power
,
greatnesse
,
maiesty
,
iustice
,
liberality
,
and
other
soueraigne
and
infinite
vertues
of
God
,
is
,
they
can
neuer
sufficiently
content
themselues
with
thinking
on
them
,
with
preaching
and
celebrating
them
,
with
worshipping
and
admi●ing
them
,
and
summoning
not
only
the
Angels
&
all
the
hosts
of
heauen
,
but
also
all
the
elements
,
all
the
plants
,
&
euen
the
vnreasonable
creatures
,
to
magnifie
his
name
,
&
to
reioyce
infinitly
,
when
they
heare
him
exalted
and
glorified
.
Although
that
neuerthelesse
,
the
praises
that
men
liuing
yet
in
the
world
,
sing
vnto
God
,
cannot
be
so
holy
,
nor
so
well
framed
,
but
there
will
be
much
more
to
be
desired
;
for
being
alwaies
vnperfect
,
as
we
are
,
to
what
degree
of
faith
or
charity
soeuer
we
haue
attained
;
&
besides
,
hauing
a
flesh
the
which
fights
incessantly
against
the
spirit
,
and
holds
it
backe
and
hinders
it
,
when
it
would
lift
it selfe
vp
to
God
,
it
is
impossible
that
we
should
heare
the
word
of
God
with
such
zeale
&
attention
as
might
be
required
,
nor
likewise
that
wee
should
make
our
confessions
,
prayers
,
and
thansgiuings
,
with
such
humility
as
we
ought
.
So
it
is
yet
,
that
when
we
heare
the
singing
of
Psalmes
,
spirituall
Hymnes
,
Canticles
and
Songs
,
to
eccho
&
sound
in
the
middest
of
the
assembly
out
of
the
mouthes
of
the
faithfull
,
although
they
be
infirme
,
weake
,
poore
,
and
miserable
sinners
,
we
doe
not
let
to
be
rauished
&
transported
out
of
our selues
,
with
the
great
ioy
that
we
feele
in
our
harts
;
what
may
we
then
think
of
the
pleasure
which
we
hope
to
receiue
in
heauen
,
when
that
our
soules
separated
from
our
bodies
,
being
then
mounted
,
shall
heare
that
sweet
musicke
and
harmony
of
Angels
and
other
happy
Spirits
,
singing
with
one
accord
the
praises
of
God
,
with
such
a
melodious
sound
,
that
the
contentment
and
ioy
which
they
shall
conceiue
thereby
,
shall
make
them
in
an
instant
to
forget
not
only
all
displeasure
,
but
also
all
other
pleasure
?
Like
as
a
Tubbe
of
water
is
no
more
seene
so
soone
as
it
is
cast
into
the
Sea
,
nor
the
brightnesse
of
the
Starres
when
the
Sunne
beginnes
to
shine
,
and
to
cast
his
beames
vpon
the
earth
.
Moreouer
,
when
we
die
in
the
faith
of
our
Lord
,
we
are
euen
at
the
same
instant
most
happy
,
that
is
to
say
,
that
then
we
haue
no
more
desires
,
but
such
as
are
holy
,
and
which
at
the
selfe
same
houre
of
our
death
are
fully
glutted
and
satisfied
;
Which
is
not
a
small
felicity
,
that
wee
hauing
no
more
flesh
to
contrary
the
spirit
,
nor
rebellious
appetites
to
reason
,
nor
law
in
our
members
disagreeing
to
the
law
of
God
;
but
that
all
tumults
and
troubles
ceasing
in
our
hearts
,
we
may
haue
a
soule
altogither
spirituall
,
calme
,
peaceable
,
liuing
wholly
to
God
,
and
which
may
be
so
fastened
and
vnited
vnto
him
,
that
neither
by
temptations
nor
any
occasion
it
can
be
distracted
neither
from
his
loue
and
seruice
,
nor
from
the
beholding
of
his
face
.
Is
there
any
thing
more
pleasant
to
behold
then
a
well
gouerned
city
,
where
all
the
citizens
and
inhabitants
are
of
one
minde
,
and
streightly
bound
togither
by
a
true
and
firme
amity
,
that
giue
no
way
to
contentions
,
annoyances
,
debates
,
quarrels
,
partialities
,
diuisions
,
tumults
,
and
seditions
,
but
hold
togither
and
liue
all
in
an
amiable
concord
?
Is
there
likewise
any
thing
more
to
be
wished
for
,
then
to
see
a
house
well
ordered
,
where
the
Father
and
Mother
of
a
family
,
with
the
children
and
seruants
,
walke
altogither
in
the
feare
and
obedience
of
God
,
contayne
themselues
within
their
bounds
without
exceeding
,
nor
yet
forsaking
the
rule
and
measure
which
God
hath
giuen
in
his
law
?
St.
Paul
in
many
places
of
the
Scripture
propounds
vnto
vs
the
sweete
harmony
which
is
betweene
all
the
members
of
mans
body
,
S.
Paul
)
but
by
hope
only
;
But
when
by
death
wee
depart
out
of
it
,
then
we
shall
enioy
the
euerlasting
life
,
and
that
so
great
good
,
which
the
eye
,
the
eare
,
the
vnderstanding
,
and
the
heart
of
man
,
cannot
conceiue
nor
apprehend
the
greatnesse
of
it
.
It
was
a
great
pleasure
to
the
children
of
Israel
when
after
so
long
and
hard
a
bondage
in
the
which
they
had
bin
detained
in
Aegypt
,
after
so
many
crosses
and
euill
encounters
which
they
had
had
in
the
deserts
of
Arabia
the
space
of
forty
yeares
,
they
saw
that
they
were
arriued
at
the
riuer
of
Iordan
,
and
that
they
wanting
nothing
but
the
passage
therof
,
to
enter
into
the
possession
of
the
land
which
God
had
promised
to
their
Fathers
,
and
which
they
had
so
long
looked
for
.
A
yong
man
also
that
hath
beene
a
long
time
vnder
the
keeping
and
protection
of
a
rigorous
and
inhumane
protector
,
that
hath
vsed
him
hardly
,
and
hath
suffered
him
to
endure
very
much
,
without
administring
those
things
that
were
necessary
vnto
him
,
hath
not
he
great
matter
of
reioycing
,
seeing
the
time
approch
,
in
the
which
hee
is
to
be
emancipate
,
and
to
goe
out
of
his
keeping
,
to
bee
at
liberty
,
and
to
enioy
his
goods
and
pleasure
,
and
that
without
any
more
controulement
?
The
yong
children
of
good
house
,
that
are
with
a
King
,
or
in
the
house
of
a
Prince
and
great
Lord
,
vnder
the
hand
and
conduct
of
a
seuere
and
sharpe
Rider
or
Tutor
,
who
nourisheth
and
entertaineth
them
vnder
a
good
and
rigorous
discipline
,
are
so
glad
when
they
are
discharged
of
being
Page
,
and
that
they
goe
out
of
the
feare
and
bondage
in
the
which
they
haue
beene
long
and
stricktly
detayned
.
The
young
Maidens
likewise
,
that
haue
beene
very
shortly
curbed
,
in
their
Father
and
Mothers
house
during
the
time
of
their
child-hood
and
youth
,
leape
for
ioy
,
when
there
is
speech
of
marrying
them
,
and
reioyce
yet
more
when
they
are
affianced
;
but
the
scope
of
their
pleasure
is
when
they
are
espoused
,
and
giuen
into
the
hands
of
a
husband
that
loues
them
,
and
is
agreeable
vnto
them
,
for
by
this
meanes
they
are
wholly
satisfied
.
We
also
that
here
below
by
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
the
faith
which
we
haue
added
to
his
promises
,
haue
as
it
were
affianced
or
betrothed
him
,
what
occasion
shall
we
haue
to
reioyce
,
when
our
soules
departing
from
their
bodies
,
shall
flie
vp
into
heauen
,
to
marry
him
,
and
to
celebrate
the
nuptiall
feast
with
an
alacrity
and
contentment
that
shall
neuer
end
,
nor
be
interrupted
nor
troubled
,
neither
by
death
nor
by
sicknesse
,
nor
by
any
other
accidents
that
may
euer
happen
vnto
vs
?
It
shall
be
then
,
that
our
spouse
comming
to
meete
vs
,
shall
say
that
which
is
written
in
the
booke
of
Canticles
;
Come
hither
my
loue
,
enter
into
the
closet
of
thy
friend
,
that
thou
and
I
may
peaceably
and
without
feare
enioy
our
loues
.
Thy
winter
is
passed
,
and
so
are
likewise
the
Raine
,
the
Snow
,
the
Haile
,
the
Cold
and
Frost
,
and
all
this
sharpe
and
cruell
season
which
thou
hast
beene
faine
to
endure
till
now
with
much
paine
;
but
the
spring
wherein
thou
doest
now
enter
,
shall
last
thee
for
euer
,
and
likewise
all
the
pleasures
that
accompany
it
.
Enter
then
my
loue
into
the
ioy
and
rest
of
thy
Lord
;
then
shall
it
bee
that
the
saying
of
the
Prophet
shall
bee
accomplished
.
And
that
being
out
of
custody
and
wardship
,
and
taken
from
vnder
the
hands
and
discipline
of
our
Tutors
,
wee
shall
bee
set
in
full
liberty
and
possession
of
the
heritage
,
which
God
our
good
Father
hath
promised
,
and
destinated
vnto
vs
when
hee
adopted
vs
for
his
children
,
that
is
to
say
,
of
eternall
life
,
and
of
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
:
which
is
a
good
that
here
may
well
bee
hoped
for
;
but
for
to
speake
of
it
or
thinke
it
,
it
is
impossible
,
what
tongue
or
eloquence
soeuer
should
bee
imployed
therein
,
for
the
greatnesse
of
it
passeth
all
humane
capacity
.
Now
hauing
fortified
the
sicke
against
the
feare
that
hee
may
haue
of
death
,
hee
must
also
bee
assured
against
the
feare
of
the
Diuell
,
who
holds
the
Empire
of
death
.
And
after
hee
hath
spoken
of
some
euils
from
the
which
he
doth
assure
the
faithfull
,
that
they
cannot
come
neare
them
;
at
last
he
comes
to
the
Diuels
,
ancient
and
mortall
enimies
to
mankinde
,
and
speaketh
of
them
in
this
manner
.
Vpon
the
Lyon
thou
shalt
goe
,
The
Adder
fell
and
long
,
And
treade
vpon
the
Lyon
yong
With
Dragons
stout
and
strong
.
For
he
that
trusteth
vnto
me
I
will
dispatch
him
quite
,
And
him
defend
,
because
that
he
Doth
know
my
name
aright
.
Where
we
see
the
victory
which
he
promiseth
vs
ouer
the
Diuels
.
And
the
example
of
the
Apostles
,
S.
Peter
)
like
a
roaring
Lion
walketh
about
seeking
whom
he
may
deuour
,
S.
Iohn
,
you
are
strong
,
Item
,
that
there
is
no
fauour
,
nor
acception
of
persons
,
After
the
confession
and
acknowledgement
of
our
sinnes
,
we
must
goe
to
Iesus
Christ
,
the
iust
,
who
is
our
aduocate
towards
the
father
,
and
the
attonement
for
our
sins
,
and
relie
wholy
vpon
him
touching
the
handling
of
our
cause
.
For
hauing
put
it
into
his
hands
,
we
are
assured
to
get
it
.
And
that
when
we
shall
appeare
at
the
iudgement
seate
of
God
,
wee
shall
not
be
condemned
,
what
accusation
or
crime
soeuer
be
alledged
or
produced
against
vs
by
our
aduersaries
.
He
(
saith
he
)
that
beleeueth
and
trusteth
in
mee
,
The
children
of
thy
seruants
Lord
,
Although
then
that
it
bee
so
that
wee
doe
nothing
but
languish
in
the
world
,
like
poore
men
that
liue
in
exile
with
barbarous
and
inhumane
people
,
ought
not
we
to
bee
glad
,
when
God
calles
vs
to
establish
vs
in
our
countrie
,
or
with
our
brethren
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
Patriarches
,
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
Martyrs
,
and
all
the
happie
spirits
,
that
we
may
together
enioy
in
peace
,
the
glory
,
honour
,
rest
,
and
all
that
great
and
perfect
felicity
,
which
he
hath
promised
and
prepared
in
his
Kingdome
for
all
his
elect
.
It
is
maruell
that
men
,
and
euen
the
faithfull
,
that
are
instructed
not
onely
by
the
word
of
God
,
but
also
by
so
many
experiences
which
they
see
euery
day
,
that
all
the
brightnesse
and
glory
of
the
world
are
but
vanities
and
illusions
and
dreames
that
passe
,
doe
neuerthelesse
suffer
themselues
to
be
so
bewitched
by
flatteries
and
wantonnesse
,
that
at
last
they
become
altogether
sencelesse
beastes
,
like
the
companions
of
Vlysses
by
the
charmes
and
enchantments
of
Circes
.
For
must
not
their
iudgement
be
much
corrupted
,
and
altogether
peruerted
,
to
grieue
at
their
departure
out
of
this
world
to
go
vp
into
heauen
;
and
to
preferre
changeable
,
vncertaine
,
transitorie
and
corruptible
things
,
which
cause
infinite
paines
to
follow
&
purchase
them
,
and
as
many
cares
to
keepe
them
,
and
yet
more
sorrow
and
griefe
when
they
are
lost
,
before
the
goods
which
God
promiseth
in
his
Kingdome
,
which
are
certaine
,
vnchangeable
,
incorruptible
,
euerlasting
,
and
assured
,
and
which
can
bring
nothing
to
those
that
enioy
them
,
but
a
true
,
entire
and
perfect
contentment
:
Wherein
(
as
did
our
first
parents
)
for
an
Apple
we
forsake
a
Paradise
,
not
earthly
,
but
heauenly
,
that
is
to
say
,
all
the
delightes
and
greatest
pleasures
that
can
be
imagined
;
for
a
messe
of
pottage
,
wee
sell
our
birth-right
aod
goods
appertayning
thereunto
,
as
did
Esau
;
we
make
more
account
of
the
garlike
and
onions
of
Egypt
,
then
the
holy
Land
with
all
the
plentie
and
blessings
thereof
.
Briefe
,
wee
had
rather
(
as
did
the
prodigall
child
.
)
liue
amongst
hogs
,
vpon
chaffe
and
wash
,
then
bee
nourished
and
sustayned
in
our
fathers
house
with
the
breade
of
Angels
;
and
finally
,
that
after
the
example
of
Lots
wife
,
we
mourne
for
the
losse
of
the
infamous
pleasures
of
our
Sodome
,
with
the
which
we
had
rather
perish
,
then
by
forsaking
them
to
be
saued
:
the
which
bewayling
,
we
may
say
with
the
Prophet
.
O
folke
vnwise
and
people
rude
,
For
what
maketh
you
so
much
to
esteeme
the
world
and
that
which
is
therein
,
but
a
damnable
desire
,
the
which
blindes
vs
in
such
sort
that
it
maketh
vs
oft
times
to
take
the
light
for
darknesse
,
and
to
the
contrary
,
darknesse
for
light
,
the
bitter
for
the
sweete
,
and
the
sweete
for
the
bitter
?
To
the
end
then
that
we
be
not
deceiued
in
our
iudgements
,
wee
must
ground
them
not
vpon
the
outward
appearance
;
nor
vpon
the
common
errour
of
men
,
which
being
sensuall
,
doe
not
approoue
nor
reiect
the
thinges
that
are
present
before
them
,
but
according
as
they
are
pleasant
,
or
contrarie
to
their
sence
and
appetite
.
But
wee
must
iudge
all
thinges
as
saith
the
Apostle
,
by
the
word
of
God
,
which
is
an
infallible
rule
to
discerne
the
true
from
the
false
.
And
not
in
our
iudgements
to
follow
our
reason
or
carnall
prudence
,
which
is
enemie
to
GOD
,
and
iustifieth
ordinarily
that
which
hee
condemnes
,
and
to
the
contrarie
condemnes
that
which
hee
iustifieth
.
Now
let
vs
then
see
what
the
word
of
God
teacheth
vs
touching
the
world
and
the
thinges
that
are
of
the
world
:
Loue
not
the
world
(
saith
Saint
Iohn
,
)
nor
the
thinges
that
are
of
the
world
;
for
if
any
man
loue
the
world
,
the
charitie
of
the
Father
is
not
in
him
;
for
that
which
is
in
the
world
,
to
wit
,
the
desires
of
the
flesh
,
the
desires
of
the
eyes
,
and
the
ouerweaning
of
life
,
is
not
of
God
,
but
of
the
world
.
There
is
then
that
which
the
holy
Apostle
teacheth
vs
of
the
world
,
that
wee
must
not
loue
it
,
if
wee
will
that
God
loue
vs
.
And
Salomon
when
hee
speakes
of
it
,
sayeth
,
that
after
hee
had
long
and
diligently
considered
all
the
state
of
this
world
,
the
varietie
and
inconstancie
of
mens
mindes
,
the
diuersitie
of
studies
,
whereunto
they
apply
themselues
,
the
mutabilitie
and
sodaine
changing
of
their
counsels
,
the
little
iudgement
that
they
haue
to
praise
or
reuile
,
to
extoll
or
disprayse
;
to
loue
or
hate
,
to
pursue
or
disdayne
the
things
which
are
set
before
them
;
hee
hath
obserued
not
onely
by
reason
,
but
also
by
experience
,
that
the
desires
of
most
men
are
but
folly
and
vanitie
,
the
which
they
worship
,
being
induced
thereunto
by
their
appetites
;
the
which
because
they
are
blind
,
and
doe
not
suffer
themselues
to
be
led
by
any
good
reason
,
are
easily
transported
euery
where
,
where
their
pleasure
and
the
diuell
driues
them
;
whereof
commeth
that
some
pursue
ambitiously
the
honors
and
greatnesse
of
the
world
,
&
that
for
to
attayne
thereunto
they
violate
all
rights
and
lawes
,
forget
all
piety
and
humanity
,
mingle
and
confound
all
things
,
cherish
and
fauour
the
wicked
with
whom
they
league
themselues
,
hate
and
reiect
the
good
and
vertuous
,
make
warre
against
the
countrey
wherein
they
were
borne
,
nourished
and
brought
vp
,
take
the
liberty
from
it
if
they
can
,
&
by
a
cruell
tyrannie
which
they
vse
therein
,
bring
it
to
a
miserable
bondage
,
as
did
Iulius
Caesar
,
and
before
and
after
him
many
others
;
doth
not
that
euidently
shew
that
there
is
nothing
truer
then
that
which
Iesus
Christ
said
of
such
ambitious
men
:
to
wit
,
that
that
which
is
great
and
much
esteemed
of
men
,
Thus
man
to
honor
God
hath
cald
,
And
a
little
before
where
hee
yet
speakes
more
expresly
of
the
foolish
purposes
and
imaginations
of
the
ambitious
.
Their
care
is
to
build
houses
faire
,
And
so
determine
sure
,
To
make
their
name
right
great
on
earth
,
For
euer
to
endure
.
Yet
shall
no
man
alwaies
enioy
,
High
honor
,
wealth
and
rest
,
But
shall
at
length
taste
of
deaths
cup
,
As
well
as
the
brute
beast
.
Now
as
wee
ought
not
to
grieue
to
forsake
the
honours
and
great
estates
of
the
world
,
for
the
reasons
aboue
declared
;
also
ought
wee
not
to
bee
sorry
for
the
riches
and
temporall
goods
,
when
going
out
of
this
life
wee
are
constrained
to
leaue
them
.
For
to
speake
properly
,
they
are
not
the
right
goods
of
the
children
of
God
,
nor
the
inheritance
which
their
father
keepeth
,
and
that
Iesus
Christ
hath
purchasest
for
them
;
for
his
Kingdome
,
which
is
the
good
which
is
promised
vs
,
is
not
of
this
world
,
but
heauenly
;
Also
the
force
,
the
estate
,
the
riches
,
the
honours
,
the
pleasures
,
the
counsell
,
the
peace
,
and
all
the
felicity
of
that
Kingdome
is
diuine
and
spirituall
.
IESVS
CHRIST
who
is
the
King
,
what
temporall
goods
did
hee
possesse
or
purchase
,
being
in
the
world
,
where
he
had
not
only
so
much
as
the
little
birds
or
the
foxes
,
that
is
to
say
,
a
neast
,
a
caue
,
or
a
little
hole
to
rest
his
head
in
?
And
the
Apostles
,
who
are
as
Princes
of
the
Kingdome
,
what
reuenues
,
what
great
possessions
had
they
in
the
world
?
St.
Peter
said
,
speaking
to
the
lame
man
that
lay
at
the
gate
of
the
temple
asking
almes
,
S.
Paul
,
And
speaking
of
the
trust
which
ordinarily
they
set
vpon
their
riches
,
saith
elsewhere
.
Then
mocking
them
he
addes
:
There
is
not
one
of
them
that
can
His
brothers
death
redeeme
,
Or
that
can
giue
a
price
to
pay
Sufficient
for
him
.
Item
,
in
an
other
place
where
he
speakes
of
both
togither
,
to
wit
,
of
the
iniustice
,
violence
,
and
oppression
which
the
rich
and
mighty
of
this
world
vse
to
the
poore
,
and
of
their
vaine
hopes
.
The
sonnes
of
men
deceitfull
are
On
ballance
but
a
sleight
,
It
is
the
reason
for
the
which
Iesus
Christ
calleth
richesse
,
riches
of
iniquity
,
Iohn
Baptist
had
to
nourish
him
,
and
to
cloth
him
,
a
course
coate
shagged
with
Cammels
haire
.
Howsoeuer
,
they
must
possesse
the
riches
,
and
not
suffer
themselues
to
bee
possessed
by
it
,
let
them
rule
it
,
and
let
them
not
suffer
themselues
to
be
ruled
of
it
.
Conclusion
,
whether
God
giueth
them
any
,
or
whether
hee
takes
any
from
them
,
they
must
bee
as
ready
to
leaue
it
as
to
take
it
,
and
to
blesse
the
name
of
God
as
well
for
the
one
as
for
the
other
,
as
did
patient
Iob.
The
third
concupiscence
and
the
most
dangerous
,
is
the
concupiscence
of
the
flesh
,
the
which
Salomon
pursues
at
large
,
in
Ecclesiastes
,
to
shew
that
it
is
the
chiefest
and
most
generall
of
all
vanities
;
For
there
are
few
folkes
in
the
world
,
or
perhaps
none
,
but
seeke
after
the
contentment
and
pleasure
of
the
flesh
.
Some
delight
in
building
of
houses
and
stately
Pallaces
,
for
to
perpetuate
the
memory
of
their
names
,
as
saith
the
Prophet
,
Their
care
is
to
build
houses
faire
,
Others
take
pleasure
in
hauing
faire
gardens
,
faire
orchards
,
faire
plats
,
faire
allies
well
couered
,
to
bee
coole
and
in
the
shaddow
;
Others
apparell
themselues
richly
,
and
spend
almost
the
whole
day
in
combing
and
curling
their
haire
,
in
setting
of
their
stuffes
,
in
looking
in
a
glasse
,
in
perfuming
of
them selues
.
Others
desire
to
haue
rich
and
sumptuous
houshold
stuffe
,
for
to
adorne
and
decke
vp
their
Hals
and
Chambers
,
good
Tapestry
,
faire
Pictures
,
Bedsteds
,
Couerings
,
Chaines
of
gold
,
and
the
richest
imbroderings
that
can
be
found
,
Iuory
casements
,
and
great
store
of
gold
and
siluer
plate
.
Others
desire
to
haue
their
tables
well
couered
with
the
rarest
and
most
exquisite
meates
that
can
bee
found
,
and
lickorish
Cookes
answerable
to
dresse
and
season
them
.
Others
take
pleasure
in
being
in
merry
company
,
there
to
laugh
,
reioyce
,
dance
and
reuell
,
and
to
doe
other
things
which
cannot
bee
spoken
nor
written
with
modesty
.
And
what
is
all
this
in
summe
?
is
it
any
thing
else
but
the
markes
,
monuments
and
trophees
of
the
luxurie
,
dissolution
and
vanity
of
Christians
?
As
it
was
spoken
in
times
past
of
the
golden
Image
which
Phryna
a
famous
Cortizan
of
Athens
,
caused
to
bee
erected
in
the
middest
of
their
Citty
,
with
this
faire
inscription
vnder
it
,
This
is
the
trophie
of
the
spoiles
of
the
dissolute
and
infamous
lasciuiousnesse
of
the
Greekes
,
that
was
done
in
one
onely
Citty
of
the
Grecians
,
for
to
reproue
the
lasciuious
life
of
the
Cittizens
.
But
this
day
amongst
Christians
,
there
is
neuer
a
house
in
the
Citties
and
Townes
,
nor
any
Villages
in
the
Countrey
,
but
you
may
see
the
Scutchins
of
the
world
set
vp
,
and
of
that
filthy
spirit
that
reignes
therein
;
and
euen
in
those
dayes
which
GOD
hath
reserued
to
himselfe
,
to
the
end
that
in
them
all
the
world
should
employ
themselues
to
serue
and
to
praise
him
,
and
they
altogither
should
thinke
of
nothing
else
,
but
of
sanctifying
and
celebrating
his
most
holy
name
.
But
men
are
so
farre
from
doing
that
,
that
of
the
seauen
dayes
in
the
weeke
there
is
neuer
a
one
wherein
GOD
is
so
much
prophaned
and
blasphemed
,
as
hee
is
on
those
dayes
;
which
now
a
dayes
seemes
to
bee
appointed
to
giue
pastime
to
the
Diuell
,
to
our
flesh
,
for
dancing
,
feasting
,
and
all
other
merry
pastimes
,
which
the
one
and
the
other
desire
.
Who
is
hee
then
that
can
with
reason
bee
sorry
for
such
pleasures
when
they
leaue
them
?
the
which
bring
nothing
else
but
shame
and
dishonour
,
spoile
and
losse
of
goods
,
infinite
diseases
to
body
and
soule
,
a
stupidity
and
dulnesse
;
ruines
and
desolations
of
Countries
,
Kingdomes
,
and
houses
,
a
contempt
of
vertue
and
of
all
honesty
,
a
hatred
of
all
true
religion
and
of
God
himselfe
,
whom
these
swine
flie
from
,
and
haue
in
such
horror
,
that
they
would
gladly
neuer
heare
talke
of
him
;
Which
moreouer
doe
not
only
effeminate
vs
,
but
make
vs
in
the
end
like
vnto
beasts
,
and
they
stay
not
long
to
bring
vs
to
death
,
when
wee
continue
in
them
.
Let
vs
then
looke
that
by
their
flatteries
and
faire
countenance
,
they
doe
not
seduce
vs
.
Their
apparant
beauty
which
appeares
outward
,
is
alluring
,
and
deceiues
those
that
doe
not
beware
of
the
poyson
that
is
hidden
vnderneath
.
Like
vnto
the
Bird
and
the
Fish
that
are
taken
with
the
hooke
,
Dina
,
Iacobs
onely
Daughter
?
And
in
Dauids
for
hauing
abused
the
wife
of
his
seruant
Vriah
?
And
Salomons
his
sonne
who
was
so
wise
,
and
had
receiued
of
GOD
so
many
honours
and
fauours
,
and
so
much
glory
,
richesse
,
and
power
,
and
besides
all
that
so
many
faire
and
excellent
promises
of
GOD
,
that
hee
might
iustly
call
himselfe
,
of
all
the
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
earth
the
Pearle
?
And
neuerthelesse
the
delights
and
pleasures
of
the
world
,
could
mannage
him
so
well
,
that
they
tooke
away
his
good
vnderstanding
,
euen
in
his
old
age
when
hee
should
haue
had
most
prudence
,
and
his
iudgement
most
setled
and
stayed
.
And
they
made
him
not
onely
to
forget
GOD
,
and
the
obligation
which
hee
had
towards
him
;
But
also
to
sacrifice
vnto
Idols
,
like
a
man
out
of
his
wits
,
and
that
to
satisfie
to
the
Women
and
strange
Concubines
wherewith
hee
had
acquainted
himselfe
,
against
the
expresse
commaundement
of
GOD
;
whereupon
afterward
followed
many
euils
vnto
his
house
,
and
to
his
posterity
.
Achabs
house
was
it
not
ruinated
and
destroyed
euen
to
the
roote
,
by
reason
of
the
whoredomes
as
well
corporall
as
spirituall
that
reigned
therein
?
What
was
the
cause
of
so
many
piteous
tragedies
,
that
haue
beene
written
of
the
ruines
,
miseries
and
desolations
happened
in
the
house
of
Priam
,
a
King
renowned
in
riches
,
greatnesse
,
and
glory
,
amongst
all
the
greatest
and
mightiest
Princes
of
Asia
;
was
it
not
the
foolish
loue
betweene
Helen
and
Paris
?
The
occasion
likewise
of
those
which
happened
in
the
Court
of
great
Agamemnon
,
after
hee
was
returned
from
Troy
with
victory
,
and
loaden
with
glory
and
bounty
,
was
it
not
the
impudency
of
his
wife
Clitemnestra
,
and
of
Aegistus
,
her
adulterer
?
The
spoiles
which
were
made
in
Ionia
in
the
time
of
Cyrus
,
and
the
great
calamities
and
miseries
that
fell
ouer
all
the
Countrey
,
which
was
the
fairest
and
most
fruitfull
that
was
in
all
Asia
,
did
they
not
also
proceede
of
this
occasion
,
as
Herodotus
reciteth
?
Ah
,
who
is
able
to
repea●e
all
the
euils
,
which
this
cursed
concupiscence
of
the
flesh
hath
brought
,
and
still
bringeth
daylie
with
it
?
Surely
,
Plato
named
it
very
well
,
a
baite
of
all
mishaps
and
miseries
.
And
Adrian
the
Emperour
figured
it
properly
,
Abraham
,
Isaak
,
and
Iacob
?
when
we
shall
heare
the
sweete
musicke
of
Angels
,
singing
incessantly
,
To
the
holy
,
holy
,
holy
great
God
of
battailes
be
praise
,
glory
,
and
honour
for
euer
when
God
shall
wipe
all
teares
from
the
eyes
of
his
children
,
that
he
will
cause
them
to
enter
into
the
possession
of
his
rest
and
of
his
ioy
?
That
he
will
cause
them
to
sit
by
〈◊〉
vpon
the
seats
that
were
long
since
set
vp
and
prepared
for
them
,
that
they
may
altogether
iudge
the
world
and
the
diuels
:
and
finally
that
in
steede
of
the
Sunne
and
the
Moone
,
Hee
will
bee
a
perpetuall
light
vnto
them
,
and
will
powre
vpon
them
a
sempiternal
pleasure
.
This
pleasure
shall
bee
as
saith
IESVS
CHRIST
,
a
permanent
and
euerlasting
pleasure
,
and
not
like
vnto
the
worldly
pleasures
which
vanish
away
with
the
time
,
and
loose
their
sauour
,
how
great
and
agreeable
soeuer
they
be
in
their
beginning
:
which
we
see
in
men
euery
day
by
experience
,
who
long
for
the
things
which
they
desire
with
a
feruencie
and
vehemencie
,
and
when
they
haue
obtained
that
which
they
demanded
,
and
haue
enioyed
it
for
a
time
at
their
pleasure
,
then
this
great
heate
beginneth
to
coole
and
diminish
,
and
in
the
end
,
is
withered
and
decayed
quite
.
And
likewise
it
happeneth
oft
,
that
after
wee
haue
enioyed
that
which
wee
desired
with
such
affection
,
wee
disdaine
it
afterward
,
with
as
great
a
dislike
;
whereof
wee
haue
in
the
Scripture
a
notable
example
in
Ammon
Dauids
sonne
,
and
his
sister
Thamar
.
But
the
true
pleasures
which
the
happie
soules
enioy
in
the
kingdome
of
heauen
,
are
of
another
nature
.
For
in
satisfying
vs
,
they
leaue
vs
alwaies
an
appetite
,
and
in
glutting
vs
,
they
leaue
vs
hungrie
;
they
quench
our
thirst
,
and
yet
wee
are
alwaies
drie
,
insomuch
that
in
contenting
and
satisfying
our
appetites
,
they
leaue
vs
a
desire
to
remaine
alwaies
in
that
estate
,
which
maketh
that
wee
are
neuer
wearie
.
They
are
then
the
true
pleasures
which
wee
ought
alwaies
to
desire
and
seeke
after
,
and
not
the
worldly
pleasures
that
are
all
itchie
and
scabbie
.
There
is
yet
a
griefe
that
may
much
torment
the
sicke
,
and
which
must
be
taken
away
;
to
wit
,
for
their
wiues
and
children
,
from
the
presence
and
companie
of
whom
they
feare
to
bee
separated
by
death
.
Now
the
consolation
which
ought
to
be
giuen
them
,
&
the
remedy
which
ought
to
be
applied
thereunto
,
is
to
alledge
vnto
them
the
promises
which
God
maketh
to
widowes
,
that
he
takes
them
into
his
protection
,
and
promiseth
to
haue
a
particular
care
ouer
them
,
and
to
defend
&
maintaine
them
against
those
that
shall
oppresse
them
,
and
to
doe
a
horrible
vengeance
for
the
outrages
and
iniuries
that
shall
be
done
vnto
them
.
Item
,
it
must
be
alledged
vnto
them
,
that
although
they
be
forsaken
of
their
mortall
husband
whom
they
had
espoused
;
notwithstanding
that
there
remaineth
another
immortall
for
them
,
to
wit
,
Iesus
Christ
,
who
will
neuer
forsake
them
,
no
more
then
all
the
rest
of
the
faithfull
,
who
altogether
relie
vpon
him
,
and
that
leauing
them
in
the
keeping
of
such
an
executor
they
can
want
nothing
;
you
must
also
shew
them
that
going
out
of
this
world
,
it
is
as
if
they
and
their
wiues
,
vndertooke
a
iourney
together
,
whither
the
one
goeth
first
,
and
the
other
followeth
soone
after
.
And
finally
,
that
as
in
the
beginning
of
their
mariage
,
it
hath
not
grieued
him
to
forsake
father
and
mother
to
cleaue
to
his
wife
;
that
now
also
it
should
not
bee
grieuous
to
him
to
leaue
his
wife
for
to
returne
to
God
,
who
ought
to
be
dearer
to
vs
then
fathers
,
mothers
,
wiues
,
children
,
or
any
thing
else
.
As
for
the
children
,
you
must
set
before
them
that
faire
promise
,
which
God
made
to
them
and
to
their
children
,
and
which
hee
hath
sealed
and
ratified
in
the
Baptisme
of
the
one
and
the
other
;
to
wit
,
that
he
will
be
their
God
,
and
to
their
seede
after
them
:
for
that
ought
to
assure
them
,
that
the
same
fauors
that
God
hath
done
for
them
,
shall
be
continued
to
their
posteritie
,
as
he
promiseth
expresly
in
Exodus
,
that
he
will
shew
mercy
to
a
thousand
generations
in
those
that
loue
him
,
and
feare
him
,
and
are
curious
in
keeping
of
his
commaundements
.
What
then
can
those
children
want
,
who
being
imitators
of
the
faith
and
godlinesse
of
their
fathers
,
are
assured
by
the
promise
of
God
,
to
be
alwaies
enuironed
and
couered
with
his
grace
&
goodnesse
,
which
grace
is
the
spring
head
from
whence
all
happinesse
and
prosperity
floweth
vpon
vs
?
Moses
saith
,
that
man
liueth
not
by
bread
onely
,
Item
else
where
,
where
he
compareth
the
condition
of
the
wicked
with
that
of
the
good
,
he
speaketh
thus
of
the
good
:
And
going
on
.
Behold
the
wicked
〈…〉
much
,
And
neuer
payeth
againe
,
And
a
little
after
.
I
haue
bene
yong
,
but
now
am
old
,
Let
him
then
that
is
sicke
leaue
his
children
in
Gods
keeping
.
For
he
cannot
giue
them
a
better
nor
a
more
faithfull
executor
;
and
you
must
not
feare
,
prouided
that
they
containe
themselues
in
his
obedience
,
&
that
they
walke
in
his
feare
,
&
that
they
goe
alwaies
before
him
with
a
roundnes
&
simplicity
of
heart
,
that
any
mishap
befal
them
.
Now
hitherto
we
haue
treated
and
spoken
of
the
things
which
are
fitting
to
be
propounded
to
the
sick
,
as
wel
to
instruct
the
,
as
to
comfort
and
exhort
them
to
do
their
dutie
;
and
also
the
meanes
that
they
must
follow
,
to
arme
themselues
against
the
temptations
,
wherewith
they
may
be
assayled
in
their
sicknesses
It
remaines
to
make
the
summe
of
all
these
discourses
,
to
the
end
the
Reader
may
comprehend
,
and
note
briefely
all
that
is
therein
handled
,
and
serue
himselfe
therewith
in
the
comforting
of
those
that
are
sicke
,
as
hee
shall
finde
to
bee
expedient
for
them
.
The
which
then
to
do
,
we
must
first
shew
them
,
that
all
sicknesse
commeth
from
God
,
and
he
sendeth
it
,
sometimes
to
chastise
and
to
bridle
vs
,
sometimes
to
proue
and
exercise
our
vertue
;
giuing
vs
by
that
meanes
matter
and
argument
to
shew
the
affiance
and
trust
that
we
haue
in
him
,
to
require
his
mercie
by
prayers
,
and
sighings
,
to
acknowledge
and
confesse
our
faults
and
offences
with
griefe
&
displeasure
;
and
to
bring
the
sicke
to
this
point
,
to
cause
him
to
make
a
true
and
humble
confession
of
his
sinne
.
Secondly
we
must
propound
vnto
him
,
that
it
is
the
spring
and
principall
cause
of
sicknesses
as
well
corporall
as
spirituall
,
and
for
to
heale
them
,
they
must
take
away
the
causes
which
ingendred
them
;
that
is
to
say
,
our
sinnes
,
whereof
we
cannot
be
otherwise
deliuered
,
but
by
the
remission
and
pardon
that
God
giueth
vs
of
them
by
his
grace
;
prouided
(
as
saith
St.
Iohn
)
that
we
confesse
them
vnto
him
,
And
because
that
the
loue
which
we
beare
naturally
doth
blind
vs
,
and
is
cause
that
we
neuer
thinke
our selues
so
vicious
,
and
imperfect
as
we
are
,
we
must
(
to
take
away
this
vaile
from
before
the
eyes
of
the
sicke
)
lay
before
him
the
law
of
God
,
as
a
looking
glasse
,
wherein
hee
may
behold
his
whole
life
,
and
to
giue
him
to
vnderstand
how
by
that
,
not
onely
our
actions
,
but
also
our
whole
nature
is
condemned
.
And
for
proofe
and
confirmation
thereof
alledge
generally
vnto
him
,
that
we
are
all
conceiued
in
sinne
,
and
borne
the
children
of
wrath
,
that
we
are
but
flesh
and
all
vanity
,
that
we
are
sold
vnder
sinne
,
that
in
vs
there
is
no
goodnesse
,
that
euen
all
our
iustice
is
but
olde
ragges
;
and
for
conclusion
that
we
are
nothing
at
all
,
but
dust
and
putrifaction
.
After
that
,
we
must
make
vnto
him
a
briefe
discourse
vpon
all
the
commandements
of
God
,
and
shew
vnto
him
by
little
and
little
,
that
whensoeuer
he
shall
examine
himselfe
,
he
shall
finde
that
there
is
not
one
of
them
,
but
he
hath
very
often
transgressed
,
and
beginning
at
the
first
table
put
him
in
mind
.
1
That
he
hath
not
done
his
duty
in
seeking
after
God
,
&
endeuoring
to
know
him
.
That
he
hath
not
loued
him
with
all
his
heart
,
with
all
his
strength
,
and
with
all
his
vnderstanding
.
That
he
hath
not
alwaies
put
his
whole
trust
in
him
.
That
he
hath
often
doubted
of
his
promises
,
and
hath
mistrusted
his
helpe
.
That
hee
hath
rather
relied
vpon
the
armes
of
the
flesh
,
and
humane
meanes
which
he
had
,
then
vpon
the
succour
and
helpe
of
God
.
That
hee
hath
not
waited
for
all
his
prosperity
and
aduancement
from
his
onely
fauour
and
blessing
.
That
he
hath
not
alwaies
called
vpon
him
in
his
affairs
,
with
assurance
&
certaine
hope
to
be
vnderstood
,
and
to
obtaine
.
That
he
hath
not
alwaies
feared
and
reuerenced
him
,
as
did
appertaine
to
his
high
and
soueraigne
Maiestie
.
That
hee
hath
not
alwaies
giuen
him
thankes
,
and
blessed
his
name
for
all
things
,
and
at
all
times
,
as
well
in
aduersitie
as
in
prosperitie
.
2
Afterwards
,
that
thinking
vpon
God
,
he
hath
presented
him
vnto
himselfe
sometimes
vnder
a
humane
and
corporall
figure
.
That
he
hath
not
apprehended
him
like
vnto
a
Spirit
being
immense
,
infinite
,
inuisible
,
immortall
,
impassible
,
vnchangeable
,
soueraigne
in
might
,
goodnesse
,
mercy
,
iustice
and
verity
,
like
vnto
a
protector
of
all
vertue
and
perfection
,
and
a
spring
of
all
life
and
light
,
fountaine
of
all
fulnesse
and
good
,
the
scope
of
beatitude
and
felicity
,
beginning
and
end
of
all
things
,
who
is
,
and
by
his
onely
word
causeth
all
creatures
to
subsist
.
That
he
hath
not
serued
and
worshipped
him
in
spirit
and
truth
,
as
he
requireth
and
commandeth
vs
in
his
law
.
That
he
hath
bene
more
curious
of
ceremonies
and
exterior
demonstrations
of
pietie
,
then
of
piety
it selfe
,
and
to
make
the
shew
of
a
Christian
then
to
be
one
indeed
.
And
finally
,
that
he
hath
not
alwaies
thought
that
the
true
and
legitimate
seruice
of
God
,
consisteth
onely
in
the
obedience
of
his
holy
will
.
3
That
speaking
of
God
,
it
hath
not
bene
with
such
respect
and
reuerence
of
his
Maiestie
as
did
appertaine
;
that
he
hath
not
studied
to
sanctifie
,
celebrate
and
glorifie
his
name
as
he
ought
.
That
by
his
wicked
life
and
conuersation
,
he
hath
bene
cause
that
he
hath
bene
blasphemed
by
the
ignorant
and
infidels
.
That
he
hath
not
heard
,
reade
and
meditated
the
word
of
God
,
with
such
desire
,
feare
and
zeale
as
was
required
,
to
doe
honour
vnto
the
Lord
who
spake
,
and
in
whose
name
it
was
denounced
vnto
him
.
That
he
hath
not
alwaies
spoken
of
the
workes
of
God
,
nor
in
them
acknowledged
the
greatnesse
of
his
power
,
wisedome
,
and
goodnesse
,
with
such
praise
,
admiration
,
and
astonishment
as
they
deserue
by
their
amplitude
and
magnificence
.
That
being
at
the
Lords
table
at
all
times
when
the
communion
hath
bene
celebrated
in
the
Church
,
it
hath
not
bene
with
such
humility
and
deuotion
,
nor
such
contemplation
of
the
mystery
there
set
before
him
,
nor
such
eleuation
of
his
heart
vpwards
,
where
Iesus
Christ
is
set
at
the
right
hand
of
God
his
father
,
as
he
ought
to
haue
done
.
4
That
in
the
daies
appointed
to
abstaine
and
rest
from
prophane
and
bodily
worke
,
to
the
end
wholy
to
be
applied
to
the
sanctification
onely
of
the
name
of
God
,
hee
hath
not
altogether
giuen
himselfe
to
the
meditation
and
exercises
of
spiritual
things
,
thinking
vpon
,
nor
seeking
after
nothing
,
but
onely
those
that
are
aboue
.
That
he
hath
often
bene
more
curious
of
his
temporall
affaires
,
then
to
seeke
the
kingdome
of
God
and
his
iustice
,
preferring
by
that
meanes
this
transitorie
and
corruptible
life
,
before
the
happy
and
euerlasting
life
,
and
the
care
of
his
bodie
before
that
which
he
should
haue
had
of
his
soule
:
and
the
seruice
of
the
world
,
and
of
his
flesh
before
the
seruice
of
God
,
which
hee
ought
to
haue
honoured
aboue
all
things
.
That
for
small
and
light
occasions
he
hath
dispenced
with
himselfe
not
being
at
the
place
of
conuocations
and
Ecclesiasticall
assemblies
,
there
to
make
a
publike
confession
and
protestation
of
his
faith
,
to
shew
his
deuotion
,
and
the
feare
that
he
hath
of
God
,
to
edifie
the
company
by
his
example
,
and
to
publish
to
euery
one
without
shame
,
without
feare
,
and
without
any
dissimulation
and
hypocrisie
,
the
religion
that
hee
meanes
to
follow
and
hold
,
and
in
the
which
hee
is
resolued
to
liue
and
die
.
That
hee
hath
not
employed
himselfe
to
instruct
and
catechise
his
wife
,
his
children
,
his
seruants
,
and
all
his
familie
,
as
he
is
bound
,
calling
them
to
morning
and
euening
prayer
,
exhorting
them
to
reade
and
meditate
the
word
of
God
,
and
to
sing
Psalmes
,
Hymnes
,
and
Canticles
to
his
praise
,
and
to
conferre
amongst
them
of
all
holy
things
,
and
not
to
holde
any
speech
but
that
onely
that
may
aduance
and
make
them
them
to
grow
more
and
more
in
the
knowledge
and
feare
of
God
.
That
after
the
spirituall
exercises
to
the
which
men
ought
principally
to
giue
themselues
in
the
daies
of
rest
,
as
to
heare
the
exhortations
with
feare
and
reuerence
,
and
in
all
humilitie
to
assist
at
the
publicke
confessions
,
prayers
,
and
thankesgiuings
that
are
made
and
giuen
to
God
in
the
whole
assembly
,
hee
hath
not
reserued
himselfe
the
rest
of
the
day
to
visite
the
prisoners
,
to
comfort
the
sicke
,
to
enquire
after
the
poore
,
and
to
seeke
them
out
to
assist
them
.
After
hauing
thus
briefly
discoursed
to
the
sicke
the
faultes
which
he
may
haue
committed
against
the
commandements
of
the
first
Table
,
then
must
you
passe
from
thence
to
the
second
,
and
giue
him
to
vnderstand
:
5
That
first
he
hath
not
borne
to
his
superiours
such
honour
and
reuerence
,
nor
shewed
such
nor
so
readie
obedience
,
nor
finally
bene
so
fearefull
to
offend
them
as
God
commaunds
him
in
his
law
.
And
if
he
haue
done
any
duty
towards
them
,
that
it
rather
hath
bene
to
be
ridde
of
them
,
or
for
feare
of
punishment
,
if
he
should
haue
done
otherwise
,
then
for
respect
that
he
beares
them
in
his
conscience
,
or
desire
that
he
had
in
that
to
obey
God
.
That
he
hath
not
alwaies
so
well
prayed
to
God
for
their
health
and
prosperity
,
and
to
direct
them
with
his
holy
Spirit
in
their
counsels
,
and
to
giue
them
the
grace
to
gouerne
themselues
by
his
word
in
all
their
actions
,
and
generally
to
blesse
and
direct
them
in
all
their
waies
,
as
he
was
bound
thereunto
by
the
expresse
commandement
of
God
.
That
he
hath
not
had
such
an
opinion
and
esteeme
of
his
Pastors
,
that
haue
the
charge
of
his
soule
,
and
to
administer
the
spirituall
foode
and
nourriture
;
that
he
hath
not
respected
their
authority
,
hearkened
to
their
voice
,
receiued
their
admonitions
,
obeyed
the
doctrine
which
they
did
preach
,
and
willingly
yeelded
to
the
soft
yoake
and
charge
of
Iesus
Christ
,
which
they
imposed
vpon
him
in
his
name
.
That
he
hath
not
often
spoken
of
them
nor
of
their
fashions
and
demeanures
in
such
honour
as
might
be
required
.
And
if
in
his
presence
any
would
blase
or
prate
of
them
,
that
he
hath
not
opposed
himselfe
against
them
,
and
hath
not
forbidden
them
as
he
ought
.
6
Item
,
that
hee
hath
not
loued
his
neighbours
as
himselfe
,
desiring
and
wishing
as
much
good
to
them
as
to
themselues
.
That
hee
hath
hated
them
when
hee
hath
thought
to
haue
receiued
some
damage
by
them
,
wishing
all
ill
hap
and
death
vnto
them
.
That
hee
hath
desired
and
sought
the
meanes
to
be
reuenged
of
his
enimies
,
making
no
reckoning
of
the
defence
which
God
maketh
against
it
,
reseruing
the
pursute
and
vengeance
to
himselfe
of
all
the
wrong
done
to
his
children
and
seruants
.
That
hee
hath
not
beene
pittifull
to
the
poore
,
nor
done
his
duty
in
administring
of
his
goods
vnto
them
,
to
nourish
and
clothe
them
,
lodge
and
fit
them
with
things
necessary
to
the
comforting
and
entertayning
of
their
poore
life
,
and
to
the
easing
of
so
many
miseries
and
tribulations
,
wherewith
they
are
inuironed
on
euery
side
.
That
hee
hath
not
visited
his
poore
brethren
being
sicke
,
nor
afforded
them
bodily
and
spirituall
comfort
.
That
hee
hath
not
opposed
himselfe
against
the
wicked
and
malicious
men
,
that
did
oppresse
them
,
and
hath
not
imployed
his
power
and
his
meanes
to
defend
them
,
from
the
violence
and
outrage
that
is
done
vnto
them
.
That
hee
hath
not
reioyced
at
the
prosperity
of
his
neighbours
;
but
hath
beene
iealous
and
enuious
of
their
felicity
,
when
hee
hath
seene
that
God
did
blesse
them
,
and
did
aduaunce
them
to
some
higher
degree
then
hee
.
7
That
hee
hath
not
possessed
his
vessell
,
that
is
to
say
,
his
body
,
in
honour
and
sanctification
as
hee
ought
,
nor
considered
that
it
was
a
Temple
that
God
by
his
spirit
had
dedicated
to
himselfe
,
and
that
hee
ought
for
this
regard
to
keepe
it
from
all
filthinesse
and
pollution
.
That
hee
hath
not
turned
his
eyes
from
false
beholdings
so
carefully
as
hee
ought
,
but
in
steede
of
retaining
and
keeping
them
in
,
hath
suffered
them
to
stray
and
runne
after
all
their
concupiscences
.
That
hee
hath
not
subdued
his
flesh
vnto
such
seruitude
as
hee
ought
,
to
make
it
subiect
or
obedient
to
the
spirit
in
all
points
.
That
hee
hath
nourished
and
intreated
himselfe
too
delicately
,
and
hath
not
alwaies
vsed
sobriety
and
abstinence
,
sufficient
to
represse
the
passions
,
and
to
coole
the
heate
of
his
concupiscence
.
That
by
discourse
,
letters
,
gifts
,
smiles
,
lookes
,
dances
,
gestures
and
shamefull
motions
,
hee
hath
tempted
the
chastity
and
honour
of
the
wife
,
daughter
,
and
seruant
of
his
neighbour
.
That
in
the
fashion
of
his
apparell
hee
hath
had
more
regard
,
and
taken
more
pleasure
to
adorne
the
outward
man
,
then
the
interiour
,
and
to
please
the
world
,
then
to
edifie
the
Church
with
an
outward
apparant
modesty
in
his
behauiour
.
That
hee
hath
not
beene
curious
enough
to
keepe
the
chastity
of
his
eares
and
of
his
tongue
,
neither
to
heare
nor
speake
word
or
speech
,
that
were
dissolute
or
dishonest
.
8
That
hee
hath
beene
couetous
to
inrich
himselfe
by
vnlawfull
and
indirect
meanes
.
That
in
his
dealings
and
businesse
with
his
neighbours
,
hee
hath
not
alwaies
walked
straightly
,
roundly
,
iustly
,
sincerely
,
and
vprightly
,
as
God
commandeth
to
keepe
and
entertaine
the
society
that
he
will
haue
kept
amongst
men
.
That
hee
hath
obserued
the
times
of
famine
and
dearth
,
to
sell
his
goods
and
merchandizes
at
the
highest
rate
,
and
by
that
meanes
to
make
his
gaine
vpon
the
publike
miseries
and
calamities
.
That
the
surplus
of
the
goods
that
God
had
giuen
him
for
the
entertainment
of
him
and
his
family
,
being
due
to
the
poore
,
hee
hath
reserued
and
laid
vp
in
his
chests
,
sellers
,
and
garners
,
robbing
and
defrauding
by
that
meanes
,
those
to
whom
it
was
iustly
due
.
That
not
considering
,
that
piety
with
contentment
(
as
saith
the
Apostle
)
is
a
great
reuenue
,
and
that
for
that
reason
it
ought
to
suffice
to
haue
apparell
,
nourishment
,
and
that
which
is
necessary
for
vs
,
hee
thought
hee
was
not
rich
,
if
beside
that
hee
had
not
many
superfluous
things
.
That
hee
hath
not
beene
liberall
,
nor
quickly
giuen
some
of
his
goods
to
whomsoeuer
demanded
any
,
considering
and
beleeuing
that
it
is
a
happier
thing
to
giue
then
to
take
.
That
hee
hath
not
payed
the
labourers
their
wages
presently
without
deferring
till
the
next
day
.
9
That
he
hath
not
loued
the
truth
in
his
wordes
and
deedes
,
saying
and
speaking
nothing
foolishly
and
slightly
;
nor
shewing
a
grauity
and
sincerity
in
all
his
speeches
,
workes
,
fashions
,
and
countenances
,
that
might
be
worthy
of
a
true
man
in
deede
.
That
in
him
there
hath
beene
much
hypocrisie
,
colouring
and
disguising
,
whether
it
were
to
exalt
and
magnifie
his
vertues
,
or
to
palliate
and
excuse
his
vices
with
some
false
pretence
.
That
hee
hath
not
beene
so
couragious
,
nor
so
constant
to
confesse
and
defend
the
truth
against
the
blasphemers
and
enimies
thereof
,
and
to
the
contrary
to
combate
against
errours
and
lyes
as
he
ought
.
That
through
enuie
and
malice
hee
hath
detracted
and
spoken
euill
of
his
neighbours
,
and
falsly
to
accuse
their
actions
,
which
might
haue
beene
excused
,
and
by
his
exceptions
vsed
meanes
to
obscure
the
brightnesse
and
the
glory
of
their
vertues
.
That
hee
hath
taken
pleasure
to
heare
flatterers
,
and
these
that
indeauoured
to
make
him
beleeue
that
hee
was
more
vertuous
and
lesse
vicious
,
then
his
conscience
it selfe
in
secret
did
witnesse
vnto
him
.
10
That
in
fine
to
close
vp
his
confession
,
you
must
shew
vnto
him
,
that
all
his
nature
,
as
also
the
nature
of
all
men
vpon
the
earth
is
vicious
,
and
that
of
it selfe
it
cannot
bring
forth
nothing
but
bad
fruits
,
no
more
then
a
bad
tree
;
to
wit
all
euill
thoughts
,
all
disordinate
affections
,
all
noysome
and
dishonest
speeches
,
and
all
workes
contrary
to
the
will
of
God
;
leauing
and
omitting
on
the
other
side
,
all
that
which
is
conformable
and
commanded
by
him
.
Now
after
hauing
shewed
him
his
faults
to
make
him
the
better
to
feele
them
,
and
thereby
to
conceiue
the
more
displeasure
for
them
,
they
must
bee
exaggerated
vnto
him
by
the
circumstances
of
the
person
,
of
the
place
,
and
of
the
time
that
hee
did
them
.
And
when
you
see
him
humbled
and
beaten
downe
with
the
feeling
of
them
,
you
must
raise
him
againe
and
comfort
him
,
in
shewing
him
the
remission
of
his
sinnes
,
and
for
to
assure
him
thereof
intirely
.
You
must
deduce
and
discourse
particularly
the
reasons
contayned
in
the
Treatise
,
and
going
on
take
away
the
feare
that
hee
may
haue
of
Death
,
of
the
Diuell
,
and
of
the
Iudgement
of
God
,
and
finally
the
griefe
for
the
world
,
and
those
thinges
which
hee
leaueth
therein
,
by
the
hope
and
desire
which
ought
to
bee
laid
before
him
of
the
neare
enioying
of
heauenly
and
incorruptible
goods
;
and
that
done
,
to
kneele
downe
and
pray
to
GOD
for
him
and
all
that
are
in
the
company
in
this
manner
.
Prayer
.
O
GOD
and
Father
of
all
consolation
,
who
hast
promised
to
heare
the
prayers
and
graunt
the
requests
of
all
those
that
call
vpon
thee
in
verity
,
and
not
to
reiect
any
one
that
presents
and
prostrates
themselues
before
thee
with
a
sorrowfull
soule
and
a
contrite
heart
,
subdued
and
deiected
with
the
remembrance
and
feeling
of
his
sinnes
,
wee
beseech
thee
altogither
that
in
the
name
and
for
the
loue
of
thy
sonne
Iesus
Christ
our
only
Sauiour
and
Mediatour
,
thou
wouldest
please
to
stretch
forth
thy
mercy
ouer
all
vs
that
are
here
assembled
in
thy
name
,
and
singularly
vpon
our
brother
whom
thou
hast
pleased
to
visit
and
afflict
with
sicknesse
,
and
by
it
to
couer
,
forget
,
remit
,
and
quite
blot
out
all
his
faults
whereby
hee
may
haue
offended
thee
in
all
his
life
.
And
we
pray
thee
to
doe
him
yet
this
fauour
,
to
seale
in
his
heart
by
thy
holy
Spirit
the
remission
which
thou
giuest
him
of
all
his
sinnes
;
to
the
end
he
may
feele
peace
in
his
conscience
,
and
that
with
ioy
and
full
assurance
,
he
may
prepare
himselfe
to
appeare
before
thee
when
it
shall
please
thee
to
call
him
out
of
this
world
;
Assuring
himselfe
that
there
is
no
condemnation
neither
for
him
,
nor
for
all
those
that
by
a
true
faith
are
ancred
,
vnited
,
and
incorporated
into
thy
sonne
IESVS
CHRIST
;
That
his
Sinnes
,
Death
,
the
Diuell
,
nor
any
creature
can
separate
him
from
thy
loue
,
nor
cast
him
out
of
thy
fauor
;
and
that
thy
throne
,
is
not
a
throne
of
rigour
and
iustice
,
but
a
hauen
of
health
,
a
shelter
and
saueguard
for
all
the
faithfull
.
Doe
him
this
good
(
good
God
)
to
fortifie
and
strengthen
him
in
the
faith
of
all
these
things
;
in
such
sort
that
hee
may
couer
himselfe
with
them
as
with
a
Target
,
and
may
by
that
meanes
bee
strengthened
and
made
inuincible
against
all
the
temptations
wherewith
hee
may
bee
assailed
,
and
that
leauing
and
casting
behinde
him
all
other
trust
,
he
may
make
no
reckoning
,
nor
relie
vpon
any
thing
else
,
but
vpon
the
onely
iustice
,
obedience
,
and
sacrifice
of
thy
sonne
,
to
assure
himselfe
against
thy
iudgement
.
Wee
beseech
thee
moreouer
to
giue
him
the
grace
,
with
all
his
heart
to
pardon
his
neighbours
all
the
faults
by
the
which
they
may
haue
offended
him
;
To
the
end
that
being
conioyned
and
vnited
in
true
charity
to
all
the
members
of
the
body
of
thy
Church
,
hee
may
bee
so
likewise
with
the
head
,
and
with
thee
Lord
.
Finally
,
wee
beseech
thee
that
it
would
please
thee
to
giue
vs
the
grace
so
well
to
behold
in
the
person
and
sicknesse
of
our
brother
,
how
vncertaine
and
short
the
course
of
our
life
is
,
that
wee
may
looke
about
vs
betimes
,
and
that
withdrawing
our
hearts
from
the
vanities
of
this
world
,
wee
may
employ
that
little
time
that
wee
haue
here
to
liue
,
to
learne
thy
wisedome
,
that
is
to
say
,
firmely
to
beleeue
and
to
trust
to
thy
promises
,
quickly
to
obey
to
that
which
thou
commandest
,
and
carefully
to
shunne
and
auoid
that
which
thou
forbiddest
.
