IT
hath
séemed
good
in
the
eyes
of
our
God
(
Christian
Reader
,
no
cause
compelling
but
his
mercie
,
)
alwayes
to
admonishe
and
warne
before
hande
,
by
some
extraordinarie
euent
,
of
the
punishmentes
and
plagues
that
he
will
send
for
sinne
,
and
so
great
is
his
loue
towardes
mankind
,
whom
he
hath
made
,
that
when
he
perceiueth
his
image
to
be
defaced
in
mans
soule
,
he
will
not
yet
strike
generally
,
till
he
haue
warned
vs
vniuersally
,
so
that
before
the
stroke
of
his
iudgements
,
he
alwaies
sendes
the
messengers
of
his
mercies
,
which
bursting
out
through
vehemencie
of
his
looue
,
doth
put
vs
in
mind
of
the
waight
of
his
wrath
,
&
albeit
that
the
heartes
of
the
wicked
are
hardened
,
so
that
no
iudgement
will
make
them
quake
,
no
maruailes
amaze
them
,
no
wonders
wine
them
,
no
myracles
mooue
them
,
nor
mercyes
amende
them
,
for
that
they
are
of
the
nature
of
the
stone
,
which
albeit
it
be
wet
without
and
séemeth
neuer
so
moyst
,
yet
is
it
within
nothing
lesse
then
harde
and
drie
,
therefore
the
Lorde
giueth
them
ouer
to
their
lustes
,
so
that
they
are
brambles
of
the
desert
,
tares
of
the
fielde
,
chaffe
of
the
Corne
,
and
stubble
for
the
fire
,
who
whyle
they
heape
sinne
vpon
sinne
,
and
draw
sinne
together
with
cart-ropes
,
who
while
they
multiplie
one
mischiefe
on
another
gréeue
the
spirit
of
God
,
treade
downe
the
bloud
of
his
Testament
,
and
drinke
vp
iniquitie
like
water
,
who
while
they
eate
vp
the
poore
,
oppresse
the
néedie
,
defraude
the
simple
,
and
gnawe
in
sunder
the
heartes
of
the
innocent
,
treasure
vp
vengeaunce
for
themselues
against
the
day
of
wrath
,
to
these
therefore
are
the
iudgements
of
God
sent
to
make
them
without
excuse
,
but
to
the
godly
are
they
giuen
for
their
better
amendment
,
who
while
they
beholde
the
woorkes
of
the
Lorde
wrought
onely
to
this
ende
,
that
they
should
cast
off
the
workes
of
darknesse
,
and
cloath
themselues
with
the
louely
garments
of
light
,
that
they
shoulde
mortifie
the
déedes
of
the
flesh
,
and
liue
againe
to
the
libertie
of
the
spirit
,
that
they
should
put
of
the
olde
man
with
his
concupiscences
,
and
put
on
the
new
man
Christ
Iesus
with
his
vertues
,
their
conuersion
should
tend
to
his
glorie
and
their
saluation
to
his
endlesse
mercye
.
Philip
Melancthon
recordeth
in
his
Latine
Chronicle
,
that
before
the
deuastation
of
Italie
there
were
séene
manye
prodigious
and
woonderfull
things
,
as
armed
men
fighting
in
the
ayre
,
bloud
to
flowe
out
of
the
earth
and
to
breake
out
of
the
harde
walles
,
with
manye
other
wunders
which
threatened
great
calamities
.
Before
King
Philip
inuaded
Greece
the
heauens
appeared
all
bloudie
.
And
if
we
may
credite
probable
Authors
,
when
Marcus
Acilius
and
C.
Portius
were
Consuls
,
the
Elements
rayned
mylke
,
with
bloud
,
and
L.
Volumnius
and
Ser.
Sulpitius
being
Consuls
,
of
Rome
,
it
rayned
fleshe
.
Also
in
Lucania
a
Countrie
belonging
to
Naples
,
betwéene
Fuel
,
and
Calaber
,
before
Lucicius
Crassus
was
slaine
of
the
Parthians
,
it
rayned
corne
,
L.
Paulus
and
C.
Marcellus
beyng
Consuls
,
it
rayned
Wooll
,
and
at
that
time
also
hard
burned
Tyle
stones
fell
downe
from
heauen
.
Before
the
Warres
in
Denmarke
,
were
heard
the
noise
and
sound
of
trumpets
from
the
skies
.
The
yéere
wherein
Vespasian
destroyed
Ierusalem
,
a
starre
appeared
in
heauen
in
the
figure
of
a
sworde
,
hanging
ouer
the
Citie
,
Wagons
appeared
wandring
and
running
through
the
regions
of
heauen
,
and
armed
men
were
séene
fighting
in
the
Cloudes
.
Pope
Leo
the
seuenth
,
being
Byshop
of
Rome
,
the
Sunne
for
certayne
dayes
séemed
al
bloody
,
after
which
ther
followed
a
greeuous
pestilence
.
In
the
yeare
of
our
Lorde
1348.
Charles
the
fourth
béeing
Emperour
,
certaine
Feastes
,
fell
from
heauen
,
the
corruption
and
stinke
whereof
brought
a
sorrowfull
plague
.
In
the
yeare
of
our
Lorde
1356
Calixtus
the
3
béeing
Bishop
of
Rome
,
among
the
Sabynes
,
was
brought
foorth
a
calfe
hauing
but
two
féete
,
at
which
tyme
in
Rome
ouer
the
gate
of
Venus
It
rayned
bloode
,
and
the
same
tyme
did
it
raine
flesh
in
Lyguria
.
Henrie
the
first
béeing
Emperour
,
in
the
fieldes
of
Hemilianus
and
Flaminius
in
Italie
,
It
rained
bloode
in
the
Ides
of
Iune
.
Innumerable
examples
,
and
most
straunge
wonders
could
I
recite
which
haue
happened
in
times
past
among
our
elders
,
which
would
aske
a
large
scope
,
and
open
too
wide
afeelde
for
me
to
wander
in
,
which
albeit
they
are
reported
of
credible
Authors
,
yet
for
that
they
would
séeme
rather
incredible
then
probable
to
the
common
sorte
,
I
omitte
them
,
and
will
drawe
to
those
which
we
all
doe
stedfastlie
beléeue
,
and
yet
in
their
effectes
are
farre
more
strange
.
Doe
we
not
reade
how
Arons
rodde
changed
into
a
Serpent
,
The
Children
of
Israell
murmured
against
God
,
Corah
,
Dathan
&
Abiram
,
murmured
against
Moses
,
and
the
Lord
sent
a
wonderfull
miracle
vpon
them
,
the
fast
and
solid
earth
opened
her
bowels
,
and
swallowed
them
vp
,
with
their
families
their
goodes
and
all
the
men
that
were
with
Corah
,
so
they
went
downe
into
the
pit
aliue
,
the
earth
couered
them
,
and
they
perished
from
the
congregation
.
In
the
dayes
of
Iosuah
Sundry
and
manifolde
are
the
examples
of
wonders
set
down
or
our
view
in
the
holy
scriptures
,
in
the
same
booke
Adoni
,
Zedek
,
Hoham
,
Piram
,
Iapia
and
Debir
,
made
warre
vpon
Gibeon
,
the
Lorde
discomfited
them
and
threwe
downe
great
stones
from
heauen
,
vpon
them
,
so
that
more
dyed
with
the
haile
stones
then
dyed
by
the
swords
of
the
children
of
Israell
,
the
Sunne
stood
still
in
Gibeon
,
and
the
moone
in
the
valley
of
Aialon
,
tyll
the
children
of
Israell
weare
auenged
of
their
enimies
,
a
hole
day
stoode
the
sonne
still
in
the
middest
of
heauen
,
and
hasted
not
to
goe
downe
.
The
lyke
we
reade
of
,
in
the
Historie
of
Hezekiah
,
and
in
bréefe
the
whole
booke
of
God
is
a
spectacle
of
his
wonders
,
a
glasse
of
examples
,
and
a
mirror
of
hys
miracles
,
set
downe
by
his
spirite
for
our
instructiones
,
looke
through
the
old
Testament
,
and
turne
ouer
the
new
,
sée
if
they
bée
not
bothe
farsed
with
wonders
,
and
stored
with
Miracles
,
wherefore
are
they
written
but
for
our
learninge
?
Wherefore
weare
they
don
but
for
our
comfort
,
Quaecunque
scripta
sunt
,
ad
nostram
doctrinam
scripta
sunt
,
they
weare
not
onely
wrought
for
olde
Israell
,
but
also
for
vs
the
redéemed
and
chosen
people
,
to
teache
vs
to
beware
by
their
daungers
,
who
not
regarding
the
workes
of
the
Lord
,
did
harden
their
hearts
against
his
iudgments
:
who
contemninge
the
mercies
of
God
in
their
deliueraunce
,
were
payed
home
with
the
terror
of
his
vengaunce
,
but
are
there
not
some
Epicures
amonge
vs
that
liuinge
at
their
luste
,
thinke
these
thinges
to
bée
shaddowes
:
are
there
not
some
Libertines
amonge
vs
,
that
perswade
themselues
that
these
thinges
being
past
,
pertaine
not

and
are
there
not
some
hard
harted
Nullafideans
,
that
:
scarsly
beléeue
these
thinges
,
for
that
they
saye
they
are
,
Obliterata
vetusttate
:
therefore
that
they
might
be
without
excuse
,
beholde
the
arme
of
the
Lord
is
not
shortned
,
nor
his
power
is
not
abated
,
but
beinge

Semper

he
leaueth

O
happy
wée
,
if
wée
take
him
,
O
cursed
wée
,
if
wée
forsake
him
:
the
Lorde
hath
heard
the
cryes
of
hys
ministers
,
soundinge
his
Gospell
,
long
time
amonge
vs
,
but
their
voices
are
not

,
nor

and
therefore
séeinge
our
stonye
hartes
wyll
not

with
the
sounde
of
his
Gospell
,
he
prooues
if
they
will
melt
with
the
fire
of
his
miracles
.
It
is
not
longe
sythence
God
shaked
the
earth
in
hys
anger
,
when
hee
was
mooued
,
the
earth
quaked
,
and
the
very
foundacions
thereof
tottered
,
thinges
sencelesse
can
tremble
at
Gods
iudgementes
,
but
sinful
men
feare
not
his
furies
,
for
a
short
tyme
hath
worne
out
the
remembraunce
of
so
great
a
wonder
:
and
as
that
,
so
all
others
doo
laste
wyth
vs
but
nine
dayes
.
That
Godlye
exhortation
of
Maister
Fielde
,
to
the
obseruations
of
the
Sabboth
,
is
almoste
alreadye
forgotten
,
and
that
heauie
iudgement
of
Parris
garden
,
béeginnes
to
flyppe
out
of
remembraunce
,
for
men
beginne
to
flocke
theither
agayne
,
accounting
the
speciall
warning
of
our
GOD
,
to
bée
some
sodayne
accident
,
that
happened
rather
by
chaunce
then
by
choyse
,
and
because
they
will
be
assured
to
scape
the
daunger
of
falling
,
they
make
account
to
set
fast
footing
on
the
grounde
as
though
the
earth
were
not
the
Lordes
and
all
that
is
therein
,
and
as
though
the
Lorde
can
not
open
the
earth
to
swallowe
the
despysers
of
his
worde
.
We
haue
yet
freshe
in
our
remembraunce
,
the
gréeuous
punishment
of
M.
Brustar
,
but
why
do
I
call
him
master
that
being
olde
was
a
filthy
slaue
to
his
lustes
,
&
the
horrible
death
of
his
minion
louelie
Lais
,
that
loathing
labour
,
liued
by
luring
,
but
euen
as
Alcibiades
the
Athenian
was
slaine
in
the
filthie
acte
of
his
pleasure
with
his
harlot
Tymandra
,
and
as
Plutarche
and
Valerius
maketh
mention
vncertaine
how
:
euen
so
the
Lorde
strooke
this
old
Lecher
with
his
fine
Flora
,
that
both
of
them
were
stubble
for
the
fire
,
leauing
the
maner
of
the
iudgement
,
to
iudge
by
the
matter
that
remained
,
and
surely
as
wonderfull
a
iudgement
as
euer
hath
hapned
and
as
harde
to
be
scanned
by
the
deuise
of
mannes
witte
,
that
so
small
a
fyre
as
a
lyttle
panne
of
coales
halfe
wasted
,
should
consume
almost
the
one
,
and
also
burne
the
other
to
death
,
but
sure
a
right
and
iust
iudgement
that
one
fierie
element
beyng
visible
,
shoulde
consume
another
vnuisible
as
the
burning
fire
to
consume
the
flaming
luste
,
for
such
is
the
nature
of
lust
,
&
rightly
and
fitlye
may
the
heart
of
a
lustfull
lecher
bee
compared
to
the
stone
Albestes
,
that
beeyng
once
on
fire
,
is
neuer
quenched
,
nor
the
lustfull
hearte
of
an
olde
crooked
and
consumed
adulterer
tyll
death
neuer
wasted
,
but
they
had
their
iudgement
,
for
our
ensample
,
and
wee
may
by
there
perill
make
our
present
profite
.
GOD
graunt
we
may
,
least
a
spéedie
threatened
punishment
come
vppon
vs
.
This
warning
was
not
giuen
when
the
Lorde
by
a
wonderfull
worke
,
dyd
shewe
his
omnipotencie
in
other
places
for
on
Friday
the
first
of
this
present
moneth
of
Februarie
,
in
the
countie
of
Suffolke
at
Ipswich
,
Storcknayland
,
Hadley
,
and
manye
other
places
:
the
Lorde
shewed
the
power
of
his
hand
in
this
straunge
and
woonderfull
effect
.
Men
ryding
by
the
way
,
as
it
is
credibly
reported
,
felte
in
a
Snowe
as
it
were
in
a
small
drizling
,
a
heauier
fall
of
matter
then
in
snowing
is
accustomed
to
be
,
and
féeling
the
same
to
pat
somewhat
hardly
vpon
them
,
by
better
aduisment
perceyued
it
to
bee
a
contrarie
matter
,
and
therefore
taking
of
it
vp
in
their
handes
,
they
founde
that
it
was
Wheate
,
the
straungenesse
hereof
,
did
amaze
many
,
who
doubting
it
was
some
deceipt
&
coloured
deuise
,
did
not
greatly
beléeue
the
same
,
till
comming
into
the
townes
and
villages
,
and
bruting
the
report
thereof
,
it
caused
the
townsmen
and
dwellers
,
to
make
searche
in
their
Gardens
,
for
as
much
as
they
knew
that
if
any
such
thing
fell
,
it
wold
there
be
presently
found
,
neyther
could
it
bee
séene
in
the
highe
waies
,
forasmuch
as
it
rayned
in
so
thyn
&
small
an
order
,
that
the
moisture
&
wet
,
with
the
slabbinesse
of
the
way
,
did
take
away
the
knowledge
thereof
.
But
in
Gardens
and
Closes
and
by
Yardes
was
founde
greate
aboundance
thereof
:
there
was
(
at
the
writyng
hereof
)
in
Toune
,
one
Maister
Willyam
Geffreies
Clothier
,
acredible
man
and
dwellyng
in
Ipswhich
,
who
founde
of
the
same
in
his
Garden
,
and
brought
thereof
to
London
:
and
liyng
at
the
George
in
Lumbardstreate
,
gaue
therof
to
the
Host
named
Maister
Ginue
,
and
to
other
Gentlemen
that
desired
the
same
of
hym
,
besides
diuers
other
honest
and
credible
persones
dwellyng
in
that
Countie
,
which
lodged
at
the
same
place
,
and
faithfully
reported
the
same
.
Now
,
as
touchyng
the
maner
and
likenesse
thereof
,
it
did
rightly
resemble
our
common
Wheate
,
sauyng
that
it
was
of
a
softer
substaunce
,
and
looked
somewhat
greener
,
otherwise
like
vnto
our
Wheate
in
all
respectes
:
There
are
that
did
bite
and
eate
thereof
,
who
doe
affirme
that
it
hath
a
more
mealier
inwarde
substaunce
then
our
Wheate
hath
,
and
whiter
also
with
in
:
and
it
is
reported
,
that
some
haue
baked
thereof
,
but
whether
that
be
so
or
no
,
it
is
not
greatly
material
,
onely
the
thing
is
straunge
,
that
any
suche
substaunce
should
raine
from
the
Heauens
:
but
least
some
should
obiect
that
it
might
be
scattered
by
the
handes
of
some
,
in
some
certaine
places
.
It
is
assuredly
saied
that
it
rained
not
onely
in
some
one
perticuler
Toune
,
but
sixe
or
seuen
miles
compasse
:
naie
some
saie
that
it
was
founde
also
in
Essex
and
other
places
:
neither
could
it
be
scattered
by
men
,
either
by
negligence
or
pretended
purpose
,
for
as
muche
as
it
was
founde
in
many
mens
Gardens
and
Backsides
,
whereas
none
could
come
to
plaie
any
suche
pageaunt
.
This
gentle
Reader
haue
I
heard
tolde
of
those
men
them selues
inhabityng
that
Countrey
,
whereof
some
substanciall
and
credible
haue
gathered
and
brought
to
this
towne
(
for
triall
thereof
)
of
the
graine
:
Lett
vs
not
therefore
bee
to
curious
in
searchyng
out
the
naturall
cause
hereof
,
for
were
Arictottle
aliue
with
all
the
Philosophers
of
the
world
,
thei
could
not
searche
out
the
cause
thereof
,
neither
is
there
any
cause
to
bee
founde
,
but
the
infringible
,
will
and
power
of
our
God
,
who
is
Causa
causarum
,
and
causa
sine
qua
non
,
he
it
is
that
is
the
efficient
cause
thereof
,
the
finall
cause
and
ende
wherefore
he
sendeth
the
same
is
our
repentaunce
,
that
wee
beholdyng
his
Omnipotencie
,
might
turne
from
sinne
speedily
,
conuert
to
hym
hastely
,
laie
holde
of
his
mercie
,
and
by
our
godly
life
set
forth
his
glorie
:
for
God
,
seyng
his
worde
daiely
preached
,
his
benefites
and
graces
receiued
:
our
peace
,
wealth
,
and
quiett
encreased
,
and
yet
our
liues
no
whit
amended
,
beginneth
to
shoote
out
the
arrowes
of
his
anger
,
out
of
the
bowe
of
his
iudgement
and
displeasure
:
and
seyng
we
regarde
not
his
word
,
he
will
teache
vs
by
wonders
:
Sith
wee
despise
the
inuisible
grace
of
his
Sacramentes
,
he
wil
sende
vs
the
visible
signes
of
his
plagues
and
punishmentes
:
I
can
not
,
neither
wee
maie
not
enter
into
the
counselles
of
the
Lorde
,
to
saie
that
this
or
that
will
happen
or
succeede
thereof
:
But
surely
Marcellus
the
Heathen
man
could
saie
:
Prodigia
esse
deorum
iras
vel
minas
:
that
straunge
euents
are
either
the
anger
or
threatnynges
of
the
Gods
.
And
it
hath
beene
approued
in
all
ages
,
that
after
suche
extraordinarie
and
portentuous
tokens
,
haue
followed
straunge
and
terrible
accidentes
,
as
is
plainly
to
be
proued
by
many
and
sundry
Histories
:
for
thei
haue
been
the
forerunners
of
plagues
,
of
Warres
,
of
Famines
,
of
the
death
of
Princes
,
of
the
alteration
of
states
,
and
of
innumerable
mischeefes
,
all
whiche
lett
vs
leaue
to
the
Lorde
at
his
pleasure
,
and
seeke
to
preuent
them
by
repentaunce
and
prayer
:
Let
vs
leaue
the
secrete
vnderstandyng
thereof
to
hym
,
who
maketh
no
man
of
his
counsell
:
and
for
so
muche
as
we
can
not
comprehende
the
same
,
within
the
compasse
of
our
capacities
.
As
Sainct
Augustine
saieth
:
This
is
the
Lords
doyng
and
it
is
wonderfull
in
our
eyes
.
For
whiche
cause
Christian
Brethren
,
seyng
the
Lorde
hath
by
his
greate
wisedome
and
power
,
declared
himself
in
this
wonderful
sorte
vnto
vs
,
and
hath
as
it
were
,
shaken
the
sworde
in
his
displeasure
,
to
signifie
vnto
vs
the
waight
of
his
anger
.
Seyng
also
wee
knowe
the
cause
thereof
to
bee
our
sinnes
,
whiche
because
thei
are
outragious
,
haue
therefore
incensed
the
wrath
of
our
GOD
:
and
considering
likewise
,
that
wee
knowe
the
meanes
and
waies
to
preuent
the
wrathe
and
indignation
of
God
:
namely
by
our
repentaunce
,
by
a
sorrowe
vnfained
,
a
faith
assured
,
with
a
full
purpose
of
a
life
amenmended
:
Let
vs
not
slacke
to
turne
to
the
Lorde
,
while
he
now
turneth
vnto
vs
:
let
vs
not
be
slow
to
seeke
him
while
he
may
be
founde
,
for
if
we
knowe
our
Maisters
will
and
dooe
it
not
,
wee
shall
bee
beaten
with
many
stripes
.
Let
it
not
be
saied
of
vs
as
it
hath
beene
of
the
Athenians
:
among
whom
when
a
certaine
olde
man
came
in
to
their
Theater
,
and
none
of
the
Citizens
would
rise
and
giue
hym
honour
,
(
albeit
,
the
reuerence
of
age
was
confirmed
among
them
by
lawe
)
he
came
by
chaunce
by
the
Ambassadors
of
Lacedemon
,
who
also
came
thether
to
beholde
,
who
perceiuyng
the
olde
man
because
of
his
graie
heares
,
rose
vp
and
gaue
hym
rome
:
whiche
when
the
Athanians
behelde
,
with
a
great
shoote
thei
praised
the
deede
,
to
whom
one
of
the
Lacedemonians
saied
:
Athenienses
quid
fit
rectum
sciunt
at
illud
facere
ex
toto
negligunt
:
The
Athenians
know
what
is
meete
to
doe
,
but
thei
wholy
neglect
to
doe
the
same
.
Euen
so
Mutato
nomine
de
nobis
fabula
naratur
:
Christians
knowe
what
is
meete
to
doe
,
but
thei
wholy
neglecte
to
dooe
the
same
.
Albertus
telleth
of
certaine
Birdes
that
albeit
,
thei
haue
wynges
yet
thei
can
not
flye
;
because
thei
want
eyes
,
and
therfore
thei
rather
creepe
and
hopp
vpon
the
earth
then
flye
any
whit
at
all
:
and
to
such
maie
wee
bee
compared
:
For
albeit
wee
haue
the
wynges
of
knowledge
,
yet
wee
lacke
the
eyes
of
faith
:
and
therfore
when
wee
shoulde
flye
with
our
myndes
and
thoughtes
to
heauen
,
for
want
of
faithe
,
our
hartes
creepe
vppon
the
yearth
,
and
are
settled
on
yearthly
thynges
:
But
as
Hierome
saieth
:
Quid
faciunt
leges
vbi
sola
pecunia
regnat
,
Aut
vbi
paupertas
viuere
nulla
potest
Iam
non
iudicium
est
,
nihil
est
nisi
public
amerces
Nullaque
iustitia
est
fraus
vbi
iura
regit
,
Venalis
populus
,
venalis
curia
primum
Ipsaque
maiestas
aere
sepulta
iacet
.
What
good
do
lawes
where
money
rainges
alone
Or
where
the
poore
can
not
obtaine
his
right
,
Our
iudgement
now
to
common
gaine
is
growne
:
No
iustice
is
where
fraude
puts
lawe
to
flight
,
Men
set
to
sale
,
the
iudgement
seate
likewise
,
Honor
her self
in
money
buried
lyes
.
But
omittyng
this
with
our
Vsurie
,
Blasphemie
,
Adulterie
,
Enuie
,
Subteltie
,
Oppression
,
Extortion
,
and
Briberie
seyng
we
are
all
corrupte
,
euen
from
the
sole
of
the
foote
vnto
the
hedde
.
Seeyng
there
is
nothyng
whole
in
vs
,
but
all
wounds
and
swellyngs
,
and
sores
full
of
corruption
:
Lette
vs
desire
the
Lorde
to
wrappe
vs
vp
,
to
binde
vp
our
woundes
,
and
to
mollifie
vs
with
the
Oile
of
his
grace
,
for
wee
are
the
vnfruitfull
Vineyard
,
euen
this
little
realme
of
England
whiche
albeit
our
lande
hath
been
plentifull
,
yet
haue
our
liues
been
barren
,
and
vnthanckfull
,
the
Lorde
hath
hedged
vs
in
with
his
graces
,
he
hath
gathered
out
the
stones
of
Poperie
and
errors
,
he
hath
planted
vs
with
the
beste
plantes
,
namely
of
sounde
Religion
,
and
the
truthe
of
his
Gospell
,
he
hath
builte
a
Tower
in
the
middest
of
vs
whiche
is
his
Churche
.
Wee
haue
a
wine
presse
the
house
of
prayer
,
the
Lorde
hath
looked
that
we
should
bryng
forthe
grapes
of
good
life
,
but
we
haue
brought
forthe
the
wilde
grapes
of
wickednesse
,
and
now
our
owne
consciences
can
be
witnesse
,
that
the
lorde
hath
doen
so
muche
for
vs
,
as
more
he
could
not
doe
for
any
Nation
:
he
will
therefore
take
awaie
our
hedge
of
defence
,
namely
his
mercies
,
and
so
shall
wee
bee
troden
doune
of
our
enemies
.
The
Lorde
hath
looued
vs
with
an
euerlastyng
loue
,
he
hath
chosen
vs
to
hym self
in
mercie
,
he
hath
fedde
vs
with
the
fatnesse
of
the
yearth
,
and
giuen
vnto
vs
the
dewe
of
heauen
:
he
hath
caste
a
bancke
about
vs
for
our
defence
,
and
closed
vs
in
with
a
wall
of
strength
,
he
hath
with
peace
sent
vs
plentie
,
and
with
aboundance
giuen
vs
tranquilitie
.
Wee
haue
a
gracious
and
mercifull
Queene
to
guide
vs
,
indued
with
wisedome
;
learnyng
and
vertue
,
that
laboureth
daiely
the

of
the
Gospell
.
God
hath
giuen
wise
and
graue
Counsailers
,
in
the
middest
of
trouble
to
determine
our
causes
,
who
care
and
carke
for
the
defence
of
our
Countrie
,
and
applie
their
studie
for
our
common
weales
commoditie
,
the
Lorde
hath
endewed
vs
with
learned
Bishoppes
,
Pastors
and
teachers
,
who
ring
daiely
in
our
eares
,
the
golden
belles
of
the
Lawe

Gospell
:
who
sounde
out
of
a
sweete
golden
Trompet

Thei
feede

for

whiche
neuer

compasseth
continually
about

if

the

were

the
