A
Memento
for
Christians
.

Remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
as
though
you
were
bound
with
them
,
and
them
that
are
in
affliction
as
if
you
were
also
afflicted
in
the
body
.
THe
summe
of
which
words
is
an
exhortation
to
a
dutie
,
with
a
direction
for
the
manner
how
to
performe
the
same
.
In
the
exhortation
wee
may
obserue
the
earnestnesse
of
it
;
Remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
:
In
the
direction
the
strictnesse
of
it
;
euen
as
though
we
our selues
were
afflicted
in
the
body
.
These
words
as
they
are
a
perfect
sentence
of
themselues
,
so
they
need
not
much
to
be
stood
vpon
for
the
explication
:
the
latter
part
expounding
the
former
.
For
by
bonds
is
not
meant
onely
chaines
and
imprisonment
,
but
all
kinde
of
reproches
,
aduersities
,
and
persecutions
that
come
vpon
vs
for
the
truthes
sake
:
as
is
plaine
by
the
word
affliction
.
Therefore
let
vs
see
what
instruction
the
Lord
doth
afford
vs
in
the
same
;
in
the
which
for
orders
sake
we
will
first
obserue
the
exhortation
;
secondly
the
manner
of
it
,
which
consists
in
the
earnestnesse
of
the
words
:
and
thirdly
the
dutie
we
are
exhorted
vnto
.
In
the
direction
we
will
first
obserue
the
direction
it selfe
;
secondly
the
manner
of
it
,
consisting
in
the
strictnesse
of
the
words
:
and
thirdly
the
thing
we
are
directed
in
.
And
after
wee
haue
thus
considered
of
the
words
,
as
they
are
laid
downe
by
the
Lord
,
for
exhortation
and
direction
,
we
will
consider
of
the
words
themselues
,
as
they
lie
in
the
text
;
wherein
wee
will
obserue
first
,
what
wee
must
doe
,
Remember
;
secondly
who
,
those
in
bonds
;
and
thirdly
how
,
euen
as
though
we
were
bound
with
them
;
and
lastly
wee
will
consider
of
the
words
in
generall
,
taking
them
altogether
,
and
obserue
from
them
,
what
they
then
doe
naturally
afford
in
one
point
:
for
the
accomplishment
of
which
worke
so
that
God
may
haue
glory
,
and
each
of
vs
benefit
,
he
that
openeth
and
no
man
shutteth
,
and
shutteth
and
no
man
openeth
,
vouchsafe
his
speciall
presence
,
for
direction
and
assistance
.
Amen
.
In
that
the
Lord
who
hath
made
all
things
,
and
gouernes
all
things
,
and
therfore
hath
power
ouer
all
things
,
need
but
command
,
and
might
be
obeyed
:
yet
of
his
free
grace
doth
so
stoupe
vnto
vs
,
as
to
exhort
where
hee
might
compell
:
Wee
learne
thus
much
:
Doct.

1.
Doct.
That
in
effecting
our
saluation
,
the
Lord
doth
more
manifest
his
loue
then
shew
his
power
;
the
truth
of
which
point
as
it
is
cleere
from
the
text
,
so
also
it
will
euidently
apeare
,
if
wee
doe
duly
consider
of
all
the
parts
of
our
saluation
,
the
beginning
,
the
degrees
,
the
meanes
,
the
manner
,
the
causes
,
and
the
effects
;
they
all
preach
vnto
vs
of
nothing
else
but
the
loue
of
God
.
For
the
beginning
of
it
as
it
is
manifested
vnto
vs
in
Gen.
3.
What
should
moue
the
Lord
to
make
that
gracious
promise
,
that
the
seed
of
the
woman
should
breake
the
serpents
head
,
but
his
free
loue
,
wherewith
he
loued
vs
from
the
foundation
of
the
world
?
For
the
degrees
of
it
,
what
should
moue
the
Lord
to
send
his
Sonne
into
the
world
in
the
fulnesse
of
time
,
to
fulfill
all
righteousnesse
,
and
by
his
death
to
purchase
vs
saluation
and
life
,
but
because
he
loued
the
world
?
Iohn
3.
For
the
meanes
of
it
,
what
should
moue
the
Lord
to
giue
his
iudgements
vnto
Iacob
,
his
statutes
,
and
his
ordinances
vnto
Israel
,
but
because
he
had
a
fauour
vnto
them
?
for
he
hath
not
dealt
so
with
euery
nation
,
Psal.
147.
For
the
manner
of
it
;
what
should
moue
the
Lord
to
vse
so
many
exhortanions
,
perswasions
,
inuitations
,
and
allurements
,
but
only
his
loue
,
because
hee
would
not
that
wee
should
die
?
Ezek.
18.
For
the
cause
of
it
,
where
is
it
to
be
found
but
in
the
loue
of
God
?
Deut.
7.
And
for
the
effects
,
which
is
grace
here
,
and
glory
hereafter
,
what
doth
it
shew
vnto
vs
but
the
loue
of
God
,
that
where
he
is
there
we
might
bee
also
?
Iohn
17.
By
all
which
it
is
euident
that
in
effecting
our
saluation
,
the
Lord
doth
more
manifest
his
loue
then
shew
his
power
.
Reas.
1.
The
reason
is
,
first
,
because
his
mercy
is
Math.

45.
ouer
all
his
workes
.
Reas.
2
Secondly
,
because
mercy
pleaseth
him
,
Mich.
7.
18.
he
delights
himselfe
in
shewing
mercy
,
and
manifesting
his
loue
.
Reas.
3
Thirdly
,
because
there
is
no
other
way
would
serue
turne
to
effect
our
saluation
;
his
power
would
destroy
vs
;
his
iustice
would
condemn
vs
.
It
is
his
mercy
&
loue
Rom.
5.
8.
that
must
doe
vs
good
.
This
point
being
thus
proued
both
by
Scripture
and
reasons
,
the
vses
follow
.
Vse
.
1
And
first
,
it
serues
for
instruction
to
teach
euery
one
of
vs
,
to
take
notice
of
the
loue
of
God
towards
vs
in
effecting
our
saluation
,
and
to
cry
out
with
the
Apostle
:
O
the
Eph.
3.
18
,
19.
heigth
and
depth
,
the
length
and
bredth
of
the
loue
of
God
towards
vs
,
in
the
beginning
,
the
degrees
,
the
meanes
,
the
manner
,
the
causes
and
effects
of
our
saluation
.
2.
Secondly
,
it
serues
for
imitation
to
all
those
that
any
way
are
instruments
in
the
saluation
of
others
;
not
so
much
to
shew
their
power
&
authority
they
haue
receiued
,
asto
manifest
their
loue
towards
Gods
people
,
&
to
say
with
the
Apostle
,
that
the
2
Cor.
5.
14.
loue
of
Christ
constraines
vs
:
for
in
this
they
follow
the
best
master
that
euer
taught
.
3.
Thirdly
,
it
serues
for
exhortation
vnto
euery
one
to
praise
God
,
for
his
mercy
:
like
as
for
our
preseruation
Psa.
107.
12
by
his
prouidence
,
so
especially
for
our
saluation
by
his
loue
,
Psal.
103.
4.
Fourthly
,
it
serues
for
reproofe
of
all
those
whom
God
hath
made
instruments
in
the
salutation
of
others
,
that
stand
more
to
shew
their
power
and
authoritie
,
then
to
manifest
their
loue
;
in
this
they
leaue
the
example
of
Christ
,
and
follow
Antichrist
.
5.
Fiftly
,
it
serues
for
consolation
vnto
all
those
that
haue
part
in
the
saluation
brought
vnto
them
by
the
Lord
Iesu
;
they
haue
so
many
testimonies
of
the
loue
of
God
,
as
they
haue
experiments
of
the
worke
of
their
saluation
.
So
much
for
the
first
point
in
the
exhortation
;
the
manner
followes
,
which
shewes
the
earnestnesse
of
it
in
the
word
remember
,
from
whence
we
learne
,
Doct.
2
That
the
Lords
words
come
not
lightly
from
him
:
but
with
aboundance
of
affection
and
earnestnesse
,
as
is
cleere
not
only
in
this
place
,
remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
,
which
shewes
the
earnestnesse
of
his
affection
;
but
else-where
,
Oh
that
my
Deut.
32.
29.
people
would
haue
heard
,
oh
that
they
would
vnderstand
,
oh
that
they
would
remember
their
latter
end
:
and
sometime
why
will
yee
Ezek.
18.
31.
die
O
house
of
Israel
?
which
plainely
proues
the
truth
of
this
point
,
that
the
Lords
words
come
not
lightly
nor
slightly
from
him
;
but
with
aboundance
of
affection
and
earnestnesse
.
Reas.
1
The
reason
,
it
is
in
a
matter
of
great
weight
,
it
concernes
his
owne
glory
,
and
the
saluation
of
all
his
people
.
The
point
being
thus
proued
both
by
Scripture
and
reason
,
the
vses
follow
.
Vse
1
And
first
it
serues
for
instruction
,
to
teach
vs
diligently
to
attend
vnto
the
words
of
the
Lord
,
because
they
are
spoken
with
such
abundance
of
affection
and
earnestnesse
:
As
also
in
that
it
treats
of
a
matter
of
such
great
weight
and
moment
:
and
thirdly
in
that
the
speaker
is
so
great
a
personage
,
euen
the
Lord
himselfe
;
the
least
of
which
motiues
is
sufficient
to
draw
attention
in
matters
of
lesse
moment
.
Vse
2
Secondly
,
it
serues
for
imitation
to
all
those
that
handle
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
to
speake
it
as
the
word
of
the
Lord
:
that
is
,
as
in
the
plainenesse
and
euidence
,
so
also
in
the
power
of
the
Spirit
,
with
aboundance
of
affection
and
earnestnesse
,
for
it
is
a
matter
of
great
weight
:
they
are
arbitrators
between
God
and
his
people
,
they
are
making
a
loue-day
,
and
a
reconcilement
betweene
God
and
man
;
therefore
2
Cor.
5.
20.
they
should
with
the
Apostle
say
,
As
though
God
did
beseech
you
by
vs
,
we
pray
you
in
Christs
steed
,
be
you
reconciled
to
God
.
Rom.
12.
1.
And
in
another
place
;
I
beseech
you
by
the
mercies
of
God
,
that
you
giue
vp
your selues
a
liuing
sacrifice
;
holy
and
acceptable
vnto
God
.
Vse
.
3
Thirdly
,
it
serues
for
reproofe
of
all
those
whom
God
hath
called
to
the
handling
of
his
word
,
and
yet
doe
it
so
lasily
,
and
carelesly
,
as
though
they
cared
not
whether
they
speake
or
no
:
which
sheweth
euidently
,
that
seeing
they
come
not
in
the
power
,
neither
haue
they
the
spirit
of
Elias
;
for
it
is
said
of
Christ
that
he
spake
with
authority
,
and
not
as
the
Scribes
:
in
which
words
there
is
a
plaine
difference
betweene
the
ministery
of
Christ
,
and
those
of
antichrist
:
those
of
Christ
as
they
come
in
the
name
,
so
in
the
power
also
:
those
of
antichrist
come
in
the
name
onely
,
which
howsoeuer
they
may
be
great
scholiers
,
and
bee
of
great
note
in
the
Church
,
euen
as
the
Scribes
and
Pharises
Mat.
5.
20.
were
,
yet
our
righteousnesse
must
exceede
theirs
,
els
shall
wee
neuer
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
For
these
men
handle
not
the
word
as
the
word
of
God
,
nay
not
as
the
cause
of
men
;
for
if
they
were
made
arbitrators
betweene
men
,
oh
how
earnest
they
would
be
,
oh
how
full
of
affection
,
how
full
of
power
in
perswading
and
intreating
?
But
now
in
the
cause
of
God
,
they
are
frozen
vp
as
it
were
,
vnlesse
it
bee
in
respect
of
titles
or
personall
wrongs
,
then
they
will
bestirre
them
,
euen
to
spend
whole
sermons
on
it
:
which
sheweth
that
they
preferre
themselues
,
and
the
cause
of
men
before
the
cause
of
the
Lord
,
who
is
Almighty
:
Therefore
because
they
respect
the
Lord
no
more
now
,
he
will
respect
them
no
whit
hereafter
;
for
howsoeuer
they
may
come
with
their
fellowes
,
and
pleade
,
Lord
haue
wee
not
preached
in
thy
name
?
yet
because
it
hath
beene
but
in
the
name
onely
,
hee
will
say
vnto
them
,
Depart
from
me
ye
cursed
into
euerlasting
fire
,
I
know
you
not
.
4.
Fourthly
,
it
serues
for
consolation
to
all
those
that
in
handling
the
word
of
God
take
this
course
,
to
imitate
the
Lord
herein
:
for
howsoeuer
it
may
not
bee
liked
of
the
most
:
yet
we
know
that
it
is
approoued
of
the
best
.
And
howsoeuer
they
may
be
called
hotspurres
,
&
thought
to
be
too
much
of
the
Spirit
:
yet
it
is
better
to
bee
blamed
of
the
world
,
to
bee
too
much
of
the
spirit
,
and
liue
:
then
to
be
Rom.
8.
13.
blamed
of
God
,
to
bee
too
much
of
the
flesh
and
dye
.
And
so
much
for
this
point
concerning
the
manner
of
the
exhortation
:
the
duty
that
wee
are
exhorted
vnto
,
followes
:
that
is
,
that
we
remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
,
from
whence
wee
learne
this
lesson
:
Doct.
3
That
it
is
a
speciall
duty
laid
vpon
vs
by
the
Lord
himselfe
,
To
remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
,
to
remember
those
that
are
in
affliction
.
The
truth
of
which
as
it
is
cleere
from
the
text
,
in
that
the
Lord
is
so
earnest
and
diligent
in
the
pressing
of
it
;
so
also
,
in
that
he
hath
taken
such
vengeance
,
not
onely
on
those
which
haue
beene
instruments
of
their
sorrow
,
as
on
Pharao
,
Amelecke
,
Exod.
14.
24
Isa.
37.
36
,
37.
Iudg.
5.
Rabsheca
and
the
rest
,
but
euen
of
those
who
haue
not
helped
them
in
their
sorrowes
,
as
Curse
ye
Meroshe
,
because
they
came
not
to
helpe
the
Lords
people
,
and
Amo.
6.
Woe
to
those
that
are
at
ease
in
Sion
,
and
are
not
sorry
for
the
affliction
of
Ioseph
:
therefore
shall
they
goe
captiue
with
the
first
,
their
sorrow
is
at
hand
.
Reas.
1
Now
there
can
no
other
reason
bee
giuen
of
this
but
the
will
of
God
,
of
which
to
aske
a
reason
as
an
ancient
Father
saith
,
is
to
seeke
that
which
is
not
to
bee
found
,
or
to
passe
by
an
vnpassable
way
.
Argu.
For
his
will
being
our
rule
of
life
,
those
that
seeke
to
passe
those
bounds
may
expect
nothing
but
death
:
for
he
willes
it
onely
,
because
it
is
his
good
pleasure
so
to
do
:
which
reason
should
serue
in
stead
of
a
thousand
;
for
if
the
will
of
a
king
will
so
preuaile
with
vs
,
especially
if
we
know
that
it
is
his
good
pleasure
so
to
haue
it
;
Oh
how
then
should
the
will
of
God
who
is
King
of
Kings
,
and
Lord
of
Lords
,
that
great
Iehouah
,
whose
name
is
,
Iam
,
perswade
vs
to
obedience
?
Vse
.
1
The
vse
of
this
point
is
first
for
instruction
to
euery
one
high
and
low
,
rich
and
poore
,
to
set
to
the
practise
of
this
duty
:
for
it
is
required
of
vs
by
God
himselfe
as
well
as
any
other
part
of
his
worship
,
as
hearing
the
word
,
receiuing
the
sacraments
,
or
calling
vpon
the
holy
name
of
God
it selfe
.
The
motiues
hereunto
are
these
following
,
and
they
are
drawne
partly
from
God
,
partly
from
men
;
those
from
God
are
drawne
partly
from
the
will
of
God
,
and
partly
from
the
sake
of
God
;
those
from
men
are
drawne
partly
from
others
,
partly
from
our selues
.
Those
from
others
are
drawne
partly
as
they
stand
in
relation
to
vs
.
Those
from
our selues
are
drawne
partly
from
the
benefite
we
shall
reape
if
we
do
it
,
and
partly
from
the
euill
that
will
insue
if
wee
doe
it
not
.
The
first
motiue
then
to
stirre
vp
euery
one
to
the
diligent
practise
of
this
duty
is
,
because
it
is
the
will
of
God
,
God
doth
earnestly
require
it
:
the
which
if
we
would
but
duly
consider
,
when
wee
looke
vpon
the
affliction
of
Gods
children
,
or
doe
but
heare
of
it
in
any
kinde
that
they
are
afflicted
in
their
estates
,
in
their
names
,
in
their
persons
,
or
in
their
liberty
:
if
,
I
say
,
that
wee
doe
but
duely
consider
of
this
present
text
,
that
it
is
the
Lords
will
that
we
should
remember
them
,
it
would
be
motiue
sufficient
to
stirre
vs
vp
to
the
practise
and
performance
of
this
duty
.
2.
The
second
motiue
is
drawne
from
the
sake
of
God
,
because
they
are
his

saith
,
The
rebukes
of
Christ
,
shewing
that
the
afflictions
of
his
people
in
all
times
haue
beene
his
affliction
:
therefore
if
we
would
take
to
heart
to
see
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
in
his
owne
person
to
bee
afflicted
,
imprisoned
,
reuiled
and
persecuted
;
oh
then
let
vs
remember
the
bonds
,
and
the
afflictions
of
the
people
of
God
;
for
they
are
his
,
they
are
his
bonds
,
they
are
his
afflictions
,
they
are
his
rebukes
,
they
are
his
persecutions
:
therefore
if
any
thing
will
mooue
vs
,
the
due
consideration
of
this
will
.
3.
The
third
motiue
is
drawne
from
men
,
and
first
from
others
,
as
they
stand
in
relation
vnto
God
being
his
children
;
for

Ioh.

5.
1.
all
true
beleeuers
are
the
sons
of
God
,
they
are
borne
of
God
:
now
the
consideration
of
this
,
that
all
the
people
of
God
are
Gods
owne
children
,
will
be
a
great
motiue
to
cause
vs
to
take
to
heart
their
bonds
and
their
afflictions
:
for
if
the
children
of
a
King
being
in
a
strange
land
where
they
were
not
knowne
,
should
be
in
great
calamity
and
distresse
,
&
it
should
be
manifest
to
some
other
by
their
princely
carriage
,
or
by
their
honorable
speech
,
that
they
were
the
children
of
such
a
King
that
were
a
great
Monarch
on
earth
:
O
how
would
these
men
labour
to
deliuer
them
and
free
them
,
partly
by
their
suits
,
telling
their
aduersaries
that
they
must
take
heed
what
they
doe
.
They
are
honourably
descended
,
that
they
are
children
to
such
a
King
,
and
heires
apparant
to
such
a
kingdome
,
well
knowne
in
their
owne
countrey
,
And
thus
hauing
deliuered
them
,
o
how
would
they
straine
themselues
to
doe
them
good
,
by
letting
them
dwell
in
their
owne
houses
,
feede
at
their
owne
tables
,
and
lodge
in
their
owne
beds
;
perswading
themselues
that
when
the
King
their
father
should
heare
of
it
,
they
should
be
richly
rewarded
for
the
same
,
although
happily
they
know
not
their
fathers
minde
how
hee
stands
affected
towards
them
,
nor
the
power
of
the
king
how
hee
is
able
to
steed
them
,
or
at
least
it
may
be
a
long
time
ere
the
king
might
heare
of
it
.
Now
beloued
all
the
people
of
God
,
are
Gods
owne
children
,
who
is
the
Lord
of
Lords
,
and
King
of
Kings
,
the
great
Monarch
of
heauen
and
earth
:
and
they
are
in
this
world
as
in
a
strange
countrey
where
they
are
not
knowne
,
for
the
world
knowes
them
not
:
by
reason
wherof
Ioh.
15.
19
they
are
many
times
in
great
calamity
and
distresse
,
sometime
in
bonds
,
sometime
in
great
afflictions
O
then
how
should
this
mooue
vs
to
take
pitty
vpon
them
,
knowing
that
their
Father
,
euen
the
Lord
Almighty
is
not
onely
able
and
iust
to
recompence
tribulation
to
those
that
trouble
them
,
but
also
is
ready
and
willing

richly
to
reward
all
those
that
vnfeinedly
indeauour
to
doe
them
good
,
yea
and
takes
notice
of
the
least
good
that
is
done
vnto
them
,
and
that
at
the
very
first
moment
of
time
,
if
we
doe
but
vnfeinedly
inquite
of
their
estate
,
or
offer
vp
a
prayer
vnto
God
for
them
;
yea
if
wee
can
but
sigh
vnto
God
fot
them
in
their
distresse
,
the
Lord
who
searcheth
the
hearts
takes
notice
of
it
:
but
if
wee
giue
but
a
cuppe
of
cold
water
in
his
name
,
we
shall
not
lose
our

reward
.
But
lest
any
should
thinke
that
this
might
be
soon
rewarded
,
the
Lord
seconds
it
saying
,
That
whosoeuer
shall
giue
house
or
goods
,
or
lands
,
leaue
father
or
mother
,
or
wife
or
children
for
his
sake
and
the
Gospells
,
they
shall
receiue
a
hundred
fold
now
at
this
present
,
and
in
the
world
to
come
eternall
life
.
O
rich
reward
!
shall
not
the
least
kindenesse
be
forgot
euen
to
a
cuppe
of
cold
water
?
and
shall
the
greatest
fauour
we
can
doe
,
euen
to
the
leauing
of
all
,
bee
so
aboundantly
rewarded
!
O
how
should
this
moue
vs
to
take
to
heart
the
affliction
of
Gods
people
,
and
to
striue
to
the
vttermost
of
our
power
to
doe
them
good
,
and
to
remember
them
,
euen
because
they
are
the
children
of
the
Almighty
.
4.
The
fourth
motiue
to
stirre
vs
vp
to
the
practise
of
this
duty
,
is
drawn
from
the
people
of
God
as
they
stand
in
relation
vnto
vs
:
that
is
,
They
are
members
with
1.
Cor.
12.
26.
vs
,
of
one
and
the
same
body
.
Now
shall
one
member
suffer
,
and
shall
not
the
whole
body
suffer
with
it
?
this
were
against
nature
:
Therefore
let
the
consideration
of
this
mooue
vs
to
the
diligent
practise
of
this
duty
.
5.
The
fift
motiue
is
drawne
from
our selues
,
and
first
from
the
benefite
we
shall
reape
if
we
doe
it
;
as
,
wee
shall
testifie
our
obedience
to
the
holy
will
of
God
.
Secondly
,
that
wee
doe
it
for
the
sake
of
God
.
Thirdly
,
that
we
loue
God
:
for
those
that
loue
him
which
begat
,
loue
those
also
which
are
begotten
of
him
.
Fourthly
,
that
we
are
liuing
members
of
the
Lord
Iesus
.
Fiftly
,
it
will
be
the
best
meanes
to
prouide
comfort
for
vs
in
our
affliction
,
according
to
that
law
of
equity
,
our
abundance
now
supplying
their
want
,
another
time
their
aboundance
may
supply
ours
:
and
according
to
that
generall
law
,
What
measure
yee
meate
,
it
shall
bee
measured
to
you
againe
.
Sixtly
,
it
will
cause
the
Lord
to
giue
vs
aboundance
of
good
things
here
.
And
seuenthly
,
and
lastly
,
glory
and
life
hereafter
.
6.
The
sixth
motiue
is
drawne
from
the
euill
that
will
insue
,
if
wee
doe
it
not
:
that
is
,
not
onely
to
bee
depriued
of
all
the
former
blessings
,
but
also
it
will
testifie
against
vs
;
1.
that
we
are
disobedient
to
the
holy
will
of
God
.
2.
that
we
will
doe
nothing
for
the
sake
of
God
.
3.
that
wee
loue
not
God
.
4.
that
wee
are
not
liuing
members
of
the
body
of
the
Lord
Iesus
.
5.
that
wee
shall
want
comfort
in
our
affliction
,
according
to
that
speech
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
There
shall
be
iudgement
Iam.

that

6.
They
shall

;
and
7.
they
shall
bee
shutte
out
of

hereafter
.
Yea
,
not
onely
thus
,
but
by
the
omitting
of
this
duty
,
they

And

to

farre
away
the
euill

,
that
lye
vpon
beddes
of
Iuory
,
and
eate
the
lambes
of
the
flockes
,
and
sing
to
the
sound
of
the
violl
,
and
drinke
wine
in
bowles
:
that
is
,
doe
abound
with
these
outward
things
,
and
are
not
sorry
for
the
affliction
of
Joseph
:
that
is
,
of
the
people
of
God
;
Therefore
shall
they
goe
captiue
with
the
first
that
goe
captiue
,
and
their
sorrow
is
at
hand
;
and

thee
,
and
thou
shalt
be

7.
The
seauenth
and
last
motiue
is
drawne
from
the
example
of
God
,
and
the
Saints
of
God
in
the
Scripture
;
in
Exodus
3.
6.
8
,
9.
the
Lord
is
said
to
see
the
affliction
of
his
,
and
to
come
to
deliuer
them
,
and
to
bring
them
into
a
good
land
:
and
in
the
booke
of
Judg.
how
oft
is
the
Lord
said
to
see
the
affliction
of
his
people
,
to
heare
their
prayers
,
and
to
deliuer
them
out
of
their
distresse
?
And
for
the
Saints
we
haue
Nehemiah
,
Mordecay
,
Hester
,
Daniell
,
and
whole
Churches
in
the
new
Testament
:
some
that
haue
ministred
2.
Cor.
8.
3.
vnto
them
beyond
their
ability
;
some
that
1.
Cor:
16.
2
haue
set
apart
for
them
euery
first
day
of
the
weeke
:
the
due
consideration
of
which
will
serue
to
quicken
vp
euery
one
whom
the
Lord
hath
made
willing
,
continually
to
put
in
practise
this
duty
.
But
if
neither
those
motiues
which
concerne
God
as
the
first
three
,
nor
those
that
concerne
men
as
the
last
three
,
nor
those
which
concerne
God
and
man
together
in
the
last
place
;
if
none
of
these
,
nor
all
these
together
will
mooue
vs
to
the
sincere
practise
of
this
duty
,
it
shewes
plainely
that
as
yet
our
hearts
are
exceeding
obdurate
and
hard
.
The
means
Now
the
meanes
,
by
which
wee
must
doe
it
,
is
partly
by
our
prayers
,
partly
by
our
purse
,
partly
by
our
presence
,
and
partly
by
our
paines
;
our
prayers
must
be
first
and
last
.
Yea
in
this
doth
our
remembring
of
them
chiefly
consist
,
for
we
may
remember
those
by
our
prayers
that
wee
cannot
by
any
of
the
other
meanes
:
for
by
it
we
may
remember
those
that
are
a
thousand
miles
off
vs
,
yea
that
are
as
farre
as
there
is
any
distance
on
earth
:
therefore
saith
the
Apostle
,
Remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
,
as
if
he
should
say
,
If
thou
canst
not
helpe
them
any
other
way
,
yet
doe
not
forget
them
in
thy
prayers
.
Now
thy
purse
will
extend
to
all
their
necessities
,
as
to
cloth
them
and
feede
them
;
thy
presence
to
visite
them
,
thy
paines
to
goe
for
them
,
like
Hester
to
the
King
.
But
the
two
first
will
extend
furthest
:
therfore
howsoeuer
they
are
most
harshest
:
yet
they
should
be
most
practised
.
The
manner
.
For
the
manner
how
we
must
doe
it
,
is
first
,
willingly
,
and
chearefully
,
for
God
loueth
a
chearefull
giuer
,
2.
Cor.
9.
Secondly
,
it
must
supply
their
wants
,
in
the
thing
whereof
they
stand
in
neede
,
Iames
2.
16.
But
if
any
thinke
this
an
hard
saying
,
and
to
go
too
neare
the
quicke
,
let
them
consider
besides
the
motiues
that
haue
beene
alleadged
,
the
benefites
that
it
will
affoorde
,
laide
downe
by
the
Apostle
himselfe
in
the
2.
Cor
9.
and
that
is
,
it
wil
cause
God
to
be
praysed
,
the
necessity
of
the
Saints
to
be
supplied
,
and
our selues
to
be
inriched
,
and
that
in

things
,
in
out
soules
,
in
our
estate
,
and
in
our
names
.
Quest.
But
here
a
question
may
be
asked
,
what
is
meant
by
remembring
of
those
that
are
in
bonds
,
and
those
that
are
in
afflictions
;
Ans.
vnto
which
I
answer
,
that
howsoeuer
it
is
exprest
in
the
2.
part
of
the
text
,
and
shall
more
fully
bee
handled
there
,
yet
seeing
that
it
is
necessarily
raised
in
this
place
,
I
answer
,
that
to
remember
the
afflictions
of
Gods
people
so
as
the
Lord
doth
require
in
this
place
,
is
to
take
their
afflictions
as
our
owne
.
Now
if
wee
were
afflicted
in
our
owne
bodies
,
euery
one
knowes
what
we
would
doe
,
there
need
not
much
inquiry
what
we
should
doe
;
euen
present●y
seeke
all
lawful
means
of
ease
and
help
,
all
lawfull
means
(
I
say
)
not
in
sciknes
or
●osse
to
seeke
to
witches
or
wizzards
;
nor
to
ease
the
body
to
afflict
the
soule
,
by
doing
any
vnholy
,
vniust
,
or
vnwarrantable
thing
:
for
this
were
to
bee
eased
of
a
small
and
little
affliction
,
&
to
bring
vpon
our selues
an
intolerable
burden
;
for
a
wounded
conscience
who
can
beare
?
yea
this
were
in
stead
of
a
blessing
to
bring
a
curse
▪
But
they
will
vse
all
lawfull
meanes
for
ease
and
helpe
,
euen
so
should
wee
for
the
people
of
God
:
that
is
,
if
they
bee
afflicted
in
their
names
,
seeke
to
cleere
them
;
if
in
their
estates
,
seeke
to
releeue
them
;
if
in
trouble
,
seeke
to
deliuer
them
.
But
if
it
so
fall
out
that
when
wee
haue
done
all
that
wee
can
,
and
yet
cannot
bring
to
passe
the
thing
wee
desire
,
as
sometimes
it
may
so
fall
out
in
case
of
the
body
,
as
the
woman
that
spent
all
that
euer
shee
had
on
Physitians
,
Mar.
5.
26.
and
yet
could
not
bee
healed
nor
cured
:
Then
wee
must
euen
sit
downe
vnder
the
burden
,
mourning
with
the
people
of
God
,
not
only
for
them
,
but
with
them
,
and
so
helpe
to
beare
the
burden
with
them
,
waiting
euery
fit
occasion
for
help
like
the
poore
man
that
sate
by
the
poole
waiting
the
moouing
of
the

.
I
doe

not
say
we
must
lye
downe
vnder
the
burden
as
weary
of
it
,
but
to
sit
downe
vnder
it
the
better
to
nestle
our
shoulders
vnder
it
,
resoluing
to
beare
it
,
vntill
the
Lord
shal
take
it
off
.
And
thus
much
for
the
vse
of
instruction
.
Vse

The
second
vse
is
for
examination
,
to
try
whether
we
haue
thus
remembred
the
affliction
of
the
people
of
God
yea
or
no
,
and
vpon
due
tryall
made
,
if
that
we
finde
that
we
haue
come
short
of
this
,
and
in
stead
thereof
haue
made
our
remembring
of
them
to
rest
onely
in
words
,
saying
,
God
helpe
them

I
am
sorry
for

the

of

and
hast
not
spent
all
that
thou

on

nor

all
thou
hast
,
and
laid
it
downe
at

,
although
happely
thou
maist

and

;
nor

thy selfe
to
bee
raced
out
of
the
booke
of

for
thy
brethrens
sake
:
howsoeuer
these

are
rare
examples
,
and
that
some
thinke
they
belong
not
to
vs
now
,
and
that
Paul
and
Moses
erred
in
their
passions
,
they
are
much
deceiued
:
for
God
requires
them
as
strict
at
vs
now
as
then
hee
did
,
and
Gods
glory
in
the
saluation
of
all
his
people
,
ought
to
bee
preferred
before
our
owne
saluation
.
Therefore
howsoeuer
thou
haue
gone
farre
,
yet
if
thou
hast
not
gone
thus
farre
,
know
that
thou
hast
not
done
yet
that
thou
shouldest
haue
done
:
therefore
let
it
humble
thee
,
yea
let
it
serue
to
further
thy
humiliation
at
this
present
time
,
that
thou
hast
not
only
failed
in
a
duty
,
but
in
a
speciall
duty
required
of
thee
,
not
onely
by
precept
,
but
also
by
example
;
yea
prouoked
thereunto
by
so
many
strong
motiues
.
And
let
it
quicken
thee
vp
for
time
to
come
,
to
settle
throughly
vpon
the
performing
of
this
duty
:
yea
to
make
conscience
of
it
,
as
of
hearing
the
word
,
receiuing
the
Sacraments
,
or
prayer
it selfe
.
If
any
yet
shal
through
too
much
worldlines
,
obiect
against
this
,
and
thinke
that
it
is
a
little
too
strict
,
and
thinke
that
hereby
they
should
bee
depriued
of
being
masters
of
their
owne
goods
:
I
answer
,
That
wee
haue
nothing
but
what
we
haue
receiued
:
and
haue
wee
receiued
it
for
our selues
?
No
,
for
the
heathen
can
answer
,
that
man
is
not
borne
wholly
for
himselfe
,
but
partly
for
his
countrey
;
but
diuinity
teacheth
vs
that
man
is
not
borne
in
part
,
but
wholly
for
the
Church
of
God
,
euen
to
the
laying
downe
of
our
liues
if
need
be
for
the
testimony
of
the
truth
,
for
the
brethrens
sake
,
Rom.
9.

as
Paul
saith
,
Phil.
2.
17.
Yea
though
I
bee
offered
vp
vpon
the
sacrifice
and
seruice
of
your
faith
,
I
am
glad
and
reioyce
with
you
all
.
And
so
much
is
implyed
in
the
story
of
the
talents
,
that
what
gifts
wee
haue
receiued
from
the
Lord
,
whether
concerning
the
inward
or
outward
man
,
they
should
bee
wholly
imployed
to
his
vse
;
and
this
euery
one
will
grant
in
respect
of
the
inward
gifts
,
as
wisedome
,
knowledge
,
vtterance
,
boldnesse
,
memory
,
or
the
like
,
that
wee
haue
not
receiued
them
for
our selues
alone
,
but
for
others
.
And
shall
wee
bee
so
lauish
in
the
more
excellent
,
and
so
spare
in
those
that
are
more
meane
?
Fye
,
fye
:
therefore
of
our
owne
mouths
shall
we
be
condemned
.
Indeed
wee
must
not
loue
others
better
then
our selues
,
nor
giue
so
much
to
one
as
vtterly
to
disable
vs
from
giuing
to
another
:
yet
thou
must
measure
it
at
least
by
this
rule
,
To
doe
to
others
,
as
thou
wouldest
that
others
(
in
thy
estate
)
should
doe
by
thee
,
if
thou
were
in
their
case
.
Hast
done
what
thou
canst
for
them
,
it
is
well
.
Hast
thou
ventured
thy
office
with

hath

?
Haply
(
to
sell
some
part
of
thy
possession
)
thou
thinkest
it
much
;
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
(
which
yet
were
as
farre
Acts
2.
45.
from
community
of
goods
,
some
ignorantly
dreame
of
,
as
they
were
from
other
of
their
idle
fantasies
:
they
had
community
in
vse
indeed
,
but
not
in
propriety
:
)
but
to
venture
life
is
more
;
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
Hester
;
If
I
die
,
I
die
.
To
venture
thy
office
thou
thinkest
is
much
,
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
Nehemia
.
To
venture
the
displeasure
of
a
King
,
thou
thinkest
is
much
,
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
Jonathan
.
To
build
an
house
for
them
,
thou
thinkest
it
much
,
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
the
Sunamite
.
To
entertaine
them
in
house
thou
thinkest
is
much
,
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
Abraham
and
Lot
.
But
for
a
night
or
two
it
may
bee
thou
couldest
be
content
,
but
for
a
longer
time
thou
thinkest
it
much
,
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
Simon
the
Tanner
.
To
become
poore
to
make
others
rich
thou
thinkest
it
much
;
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
Christ
:
to
giue
beyond
ones
ability
thou
thinkest
is
much
,
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
the
Macedonians
:
to
ioyne
in
prayer
for
them
with
the
bretheren
thou
thinkst
is
much
,
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
in
the
house
of
Mary
:
to
speake
to
the
King
for
them
,
thou
thinkst
is
much
,
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
Ebedmelech

blacke
more
:
to
forsake
the
treasure
of
a
kingdome
,
and
the
pleasures
of
a
Court
for
them
,
thou
thinkst
is
much
,
yet
some
haue
done
it
,
as
Moses

Well
,
if
none
of
these
precepts
nor
motiues
,
nor

to

to
Remember

(
to

the

Yea
if

it
shall

The
Lord
shall
sell

into
the
hands
of
a

:
that

vp

for

or
cause
some
Gamaliel

or
some

or
he
will

how
dwels
the
loue
of
God
in
him
?
But
if
any
shal
yet
obiect
,
that
they
would
bee
more
forward
,
but
that
there
are
so
many
hypocrites
,
that
in
releeuing
of
the
Saints
many
times
they
should
feed
the
vnworthy
.
Answ.
I
answer
,
that
if
thou
giuest
to
any
one
in
the
name
of
a
disciple
:
that
is
,
whom
thou
seest
by
profession
to
be
a
disciple
,
thou
shalt
not
lose
thy
reward
:
and
it
is
farre
better
for
thee
to
set
before
thee
the
example
of
Abraham
and
Lot
,
who
in
entertaining
strangers
,
receiued
Angels
into
their
houses
.
So
thou
knowest
not
whether
in
relieuing
of
the
saints
,
thou
shalt
relieue
Christ
himselfe
:
not
,
as
some
foolishly
think
,
that
he
comes
in
the
shape
of
an
old
man
,
but
we
are
sure
that
he
euer
comes
vnto
vs
in
his
members
:
and
better
it
were
that
our
goodnesse
should
extend
to
all
,
then
that
Math.

any
of
the
houshold
of
faith
should
want
;
as
the
Lord
who
lets
his
Sunne
to
shine
vpon
the
good
and
bad
;
vpon
the
iust
and
vniust
.
Now
if
any
shall
say
that
they
would
doe
more
good
:
but
they
want
oportunity
.
I
answer
,
if
that
they
doe
what
good
they
can
,
and
desire
to
doe
more
good
if
they
could
,
the
Lord
will
accept
the
will
for
the
deed
:
and
let
this
text
as
a
shrill
trumpet
euer
sound
an
alarme
in
thy
ears
,
that
thou
maist
remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
;
and
then
thou
shalt
neuer
want
oportunity
to
remember
them
at
least
in
thy
prayers
.
Vse
.

The
third
vse
is
for
terror
to
all
those
that
are
negligent
in
this
dutie
,
they
doe
not
only
depriue
themselues
of
many
blessings
,
but
also
pull
vpon
themselues
horrible
iudgements
,
as
before
hath
beene
shewed
;
that
howsoeuer
they
may
abound
with
these
outward
things
,
yet
it
will
stand
them
in
no
sted
at
the
day
of
account
,
Math.
25.
but
to
further
their
condemnation
.
Vse
.

The
fourth
vse
is
,
for
comfort
and
consolation
to
all
those
that
haue
bin
,
and
are
forward
in
this
duty
;
they
take
the
best
course
to
inrich
themselues
here
,
and
to
assure
themselues
of
heauen
hereafter
:
for
they
make
God
their
debter
;
for
hee
that
giues
vnto
the
poore
,
lends
vnto
the
Lord
.
Now
,
what
though
money
be
short
in
thy
owne
purse
,
yet
if
it
bee
in
a
sure
hand
,
thou
wilt
not
care
;
but
whatsoeuer
thou
giuest
or
bestowest
on
the
afflicted
Saints
of
God
,
thou
lendest
vnto
the
Lord
,
who
is
a
sure
paymaster
,
that
will
not
faile
thee
at
thy
need
.
And
thus
much
for
the
point
concerning
the
duty
contained
in
the
exhortation
;
the
direction
followes
,
from
whence
we
learne
this
doctrine
:
Doct.
4
That
the
Lord
in
his
word
doth
not
barely
exhort
vs
to
doe
his
will
,
but
is
very
diligent
to
direct
vs
in
the
manner
how
to
doe
it
.
This
is
cleere
from
the
text
,
and
most
plentifully
shewed
in
the
Scripture
:
I
will
Luk.
1.
74.
but
instance
one
place
in
the
first
chapter
of
Luke
,
there
is
a
duty
required
of
vs
to
serue
God
.
But
is
that
all
?
No
,
hee
addes
the
manner
also
how
we
must
doe
it
:
that
it
must
bee
in
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
:
and
that
without
feare
,
before
him
,
all
the
daies
of
our
liues
:
and
this
is
typed
out
vnto
vs
,
in
the
old
Testament
,
in
the
building
of
the
Tabernacle
;
Moses
must
doe
all
things
according
to
the
patterne
shewed
to
him
in
the
mount
,
Exod.
25.
40.
And
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
which
were
representations
of
Gods
outward
worship
,
both
the
goings
out
,
and
the
commings
in
,
with
the
whole
forme
thereof
must
bee
kept
,
Ezek.
43.
11.
and
46.
9.
And
as
this
serued
for
the
old
Testament
,
so
it
is
in
the
new
;
for
Christ
is
faithfull
in
all
his
house
,
as
Moses
.
Moses
as
the
seruant
,
Christ
is
as
the
Sonne
ouer
his
owne
house
,
whose
house
we
are
,
Heb.
3.
2.
1
Tim.
3.
15.
Reas.
1
And
this
the
Lord
doth
,
because
hee
would
haue
vs
bring
nothing
of
our
owne
into
his
sacred
worship
;
but
as
Moses
,
must
make
all
things
in
the
Tabernacle
according
to
the
patterne
shewed
him
in
the
mount
,
and
the
whole
forme
of
the
house
must
be
kept
,
both
the
length
and
breadth
,
and
height
and
limits
of
it
round
about
;
so
wee
must
doe
nothing
in
the
worship
of
God
,
neither
for
forme
nor
fashion
of
it
,
but
according
to
the
patterne
shewed
vnto
vs
in
the
reuealed
will
of
God
.
2.
Secondly
,
hee
doth
it
because
hee
would
leaue
no
scruple
nor
doubt
in
the
minde
of
his
people
.
Vses
.
The
vse
of
this
serues
first
for
information
,
to
shew
vs
the
perfection
of
the
Scriptures
,
as
it
is
said
in
Timothy
,
that
it
is
able
to
make
the
man
;
yea
the
man
of
God
2
Tim.
3.
17.
perfect
,
yea
absolutely
perfect
vnto
all
good
workes
.
Vse
2
Secondly
,
it
serues
for
instruction
to
euery
one
,
to
rest
onely
on
the
word
of
God
,
as
on
a
perfect
and
sufficient
rule
to
direct
vs
both
in
the
matter
,
and
manner
of
Gods
worship
,
that
as
we
make
it
our
ground
for
the
matter
,
so
our
rule
for
the
manner
of
his
worship
also
.
Vse
3
Thirdly
,
it
serues
for
imitation
vnto
all
the
Ministers
of
the
word
,
that
in
their
ministery
they
vse
not
bare
exhortations
,
but
after
the
example
of
God
himselfe
,
that
they
adde
direction
for
the
manner
how
they
should
doe
the
will
of
God
.
Vse
.

Fourthly
,
it
serues
for
reproofe
;
and
first
,
of
all
those
that
rest
not
on
the
word
of
God
alone
for
direction
in
the
matters
of
saluation
:
Secondly
,
of
those
that
rest
on
it
for
the
matter
,
but
not
for
the
manner
,
they
thinke
this
a
little
too
nice
.
Thirdly
,
it
reproues
those
Ministers
that
in
their
ministery
take
not
this
course
:
and
fourthly
,
it
serues
to
reproue
those
that
mislike
with
those
that
doe
take
this
course
,
thinking
them
too
precise
.
Vse
.
5
Fiftly
and
lastly
,
it
serues
for
comfort
and
consolation
of
all
those
,
first
,
that
rest
on
the
word
of
the
Lord
only
for
direction
,
both
for
the
matter
and
manner
in
the
worship
of
God
,
they
rest
on
a
sure
rule
.
Secondly
those
Ministers
that
take
this
course
in
their
ministeries
,
they
follow
the
best
example
.
Thus
much
for
the
direction
;
the
strictnes
of
it
followes
,
from
whence
we
learne
:
Doct.
5
That
the
Lord
is
very
strict
in
the
obedience
of
his
will
.
This
is
cleere
from
the
text
,
Remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
:
But
is
that
all
?
No
,
it
must
be
as
though

were
bound
with

:
and

,

in

But
is
that
all
?
No
,
it

bee
without

before

,
all
the

of
our
liues
.

Is
not
that

No
,
it
must
bee
with
a
perfect
heart
,
and
a
willing
minde
,

Yea
,
this
is
plentifully
cleered
throughout
the
whole
Scripture
:
not
onely
in
the
precepts
of
the
Law
,
but
of
the
Gospell
also
:
the

saith
,
Thou

all
things
that
are
written
in
the

,
to
doe
them
.

saith
,

her
,
hath
committed
adulterie
with

in

:
and
hee

is
guiltie
of
murther
;
and
hee
that
doth
but
couet
that
which
is
anothers
,
in
his
eye
,
or
in
his
heart
,
is
guiltie
of
theft
.
And

saith
,
hee
that

and

yet
failes
but
in
one
point
,
is
guiltie
of
all
:
And
Moses
wee
know
was
barred
from
entring
into
the
land
of
Deut.
32.
50.
Canaan
,
for
that
wherein
wee
can
scarcely
perceiue
hee
sinned
.
By
all
which
it
is
manifest
,
that
the
Lord
is
very
strict
in
the
obedience
of
his
will
.
Reason
.
The
reason
is
,
because
the
Lord
seeth
how
subiect
we
are
to
run
into
by-pathes
,
if
he
doe
but
giue
vs
the
least
libertie
;
or
that
he
doe
but
lay
the
reines
in
our
neckes
.
Vse
1
The
vse
serues
first
for
information
,
to
informe
our
iudgements
of
the
great
loue
of
God
towards
vs
,
and
care
ouer
vs
for
our
saluation
,
in
that
he
doth
not
onely
exhort
vs
to
obedience
,
but
doth
it
with
aboundance
of
affection
:
yea
,
doth
not
onely
earnestly
exhort
vs
to
doe
his
will
,
but
also
doth
adde
a
direction
,
and
that
very
strict
,
to
haue
vs
walke
in
obedience
before
him
;
and
all
for
our
good
,
to
bring
vs
to
saluation
.
Vse
2
Secondly
,
it
serues
for
defence
of
all
those
that
in
the
vprightnesse
of
their
hearts
,
indeuour
to
walke
in
all
strict
obedience
before
their
God
,
against
all
the
calumniations
,
not
only
of
those
dogges
that
lie
barking
without
,
but
also
of
those
wily
foxes
that
lie
nibling
within
;
that
cry
out
against
all
those
that
exceed
them
in
obedience
,
saying
,
they
are
too
forward
;
that
they
are
more
precise
then
wise
,
and
the
like
.
These
are
they
that
loue
to
sleep
in
a
whole

,
according
to
the
prouerbe
;
they
will
hold
profession
so
long
as
they
may
keepe
their
liuings
too
,
and
no
longer
:
according
to
the
saying
,
they
would
goe
to
heauen
in
a
hay-barne
:
but
I
may
adde
,
in

:
for
they
may
as

expect
to
goe
to

in

haue

to

because

would

for

of

;
but
God
forbid
that

should
reioyce
,
but
in

of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
whereby
the
world
is

vnto

and
we
vnto
the

for
in

nothing
will
auaile

a

;
and

Thirdly
,
it
serues
for
exhortation
vnto
euery
one
of
vs
,
to
bee
very
strict
in
our
obedience
,
howsoeuer
wee
may
incurre
the
name
of
precision
or
the
like
;
seeing
the
Lord
doth
require
it
of
vs
.
Fourthly
,
Vse
.
4
it
serues
for
imitation
to
all
those
that
are
put
in
trust
with
the
saluation
of
others
,
to
take
this
course
,
not
only
earnestly
to
exhort
,
and
to
adde
direction
to
their
exhortation
,
but
also
to
presse
their
people
to
a
strict
obedience
:
wee
see
it
is
the
example
of
God
himselfe
.
Vse
.
5
Fiftly
,
it
serues
for
the
reproofe
of
all
disobedient
persons
,
they
are
left
vtterly
without
all
excuse
:
what
could
the
Lord
doe
more
,
but
first
louinglie
exhort
vs
;
yea
,
with
earnest
affection
to
yeeld
obedience
?
yea
,
to
direct
vs
in
the
manner
:
and
lastly
,
to
presse
vs
with
a
strict
rule
of
obedience
?
Now
,
if
thou
art
yet
disobedient
,
thou
maist
laie
thine
hand
vpon
thy
mouth
,
and
excuse
the
Lord
;
yea
acknowledge
him
to
be
iust
,
when
hee
shall
come
in
flaming
fire
,
rendring
vengeance
vnto
all
those
that
know
not
God
,
and
that
obey

not
the
Gospell
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
;
when
he
shall
come
to
bee
glorified
in
his
Saints
,
and
to
be
admired
in
all
those
that
beleeue
.
Vse
.
6
Sixtly
and
lastly
,
it
serues
for
comfort
and
consolation
to
all
those
,
that
stricktly
walke
in
the
obedience
of
the
will
of
God
.
Notwithstanding
they
are
euilly
intreated
of
the
world
for
the
same
,
they
doe
that
which
God
requireth
of
them
.
Thus
much
for
the
exhortation
and
direction
apart
laid
downe
by
the
Lord
.
Now
wee
will
ioyne
them
both
together
,
as
they
are
required
of
vs
.
Remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
as
bound
with
them
.
Whence
wee
learne
,
Doct.
6
That
it
is
not
enough
to
doe
holy
duties
,
but
wee
must
bee
very
strict
in
the
manner
how
we
doe
them
.
This
is
cleere
from
the
text
,
as
also
from
the
points
formerly
raised
.
Wherein
wee
haue
seene
the
LORDS
diligence
to
direct
vs
euen
in
the
manner
of
his
worship
:
which
shewes
that
it
is
our
dutie
not
only
to
doe
holy
duties
,
but
also
that
we
must
bee
very
strict
,
for
the
manner
how
we
doe
them
.
As
also
the
whole
Scripture
is
plentifull
for
proofe
of
this
point
,
and
therefore
it
is
that
our
Sauiour
saith
,
Take
heed
how
ye
heare
.
So
in
another
Luk.

place
,
Take
heed
how
yee
pray
;
take
heed
how
yee
giue
almes
;
and
take
heed
how
yee
fast
:
all
which
makes
the
point
plaine
,
that
it
is
not
enough
to
doe
holy
duties
,
but
that
we
must
be
very
strict
in
the
manner
how
wee
doe
them
.
And
in
the
Lords
prayer
our
Sauiour
teacheth
vs
to
pray
,
Thy
will
be
done
on
earth
,
as
it
is
done
in
heauen
.
Harke
,
he
doth
not
teach
vs
simply
to
pray
that
the
will
of
God
may
be
done
;
but
that
it
may
bee
so
done
on
earth
,
euen
as
it
is
done
in
heauen
:
and
the
holy
Ghost
teacheth
seruants
to
serue
their
Masters
as
seruing
the
Lord
.
Harke
,
he
doth
not
teach
them
simply
to
serue
them
,
but
to
serue
them
euen
as
seruing
the
Lord
,
and
not
men
.
Which
maketh
the
point
very
cleere
.
Reason
.
The
reason
hereof
is
,
because
the
Lord
Isay
11.
12.
doth
more
respect
the
manner
then
the
matter
of
his
worship
,
how
wee
doe
it
,
then
the
thing
it selfe
.
Vse
.

The
vse
of
this
serues

for
instruction
vnto
euery
one
,
not
to
rest
onely
in
the
doing
of
the
worke
of
holinesse
,
but
to
be
very
strict
in
the
manner
how
wee
doe
it
:
for
it
is
not
enough
to
preach
the
Word
,
to
heare
the
Word
;
nor
to
frequent
the
house
of
God
,
and
with
the
Iewes

cry

;
and
yet
will
steale
,
murther
,
commit

,
sweare
falsely
,
and
burne
incense
vnto
Baal
;
these
are
but
lying
words
.
Yea
,
this
is
to
make
the
house
of
the
Lord
a
denne
of
theeues
:
yea
this
is
the
next
way
to
bring
downe
fearefull
iudgements
,
that
the
Lord
should
doe
to
you
as
he
did
to
Shilo
.
But
with
Dauid
we
must
wash
our
hands
in
innocency
,
&c.
and
so
compasse
the
altar
;
for
Psal.
26.
6.
as
the
will
of
God
must
bee
our
ground
for
euery
action
,
so
the
holinesse
of
God
must
be
our
rule
.
Wee
may
not
for
the
matter
of
our
worship
doe
as
the
people
of
God
,
and
for
the
manner
,
like
the
Gentiles
.
Nay
,
we
may
not
serue
our
God
for
the
manner
,
as
they
doe
their
Idols
,
Deut.
12.
4.
And
this
stretcheth
it selfe
vnto
euery
holy
dutie
.
Wee
may
not
pray
as
the
hypocrites
doe
,
nor
giue
almes
as
Math.
6.
as
the
hypocrites
doe
,
nor
giue
almes
as
the
hypocrites
doe
;
fast
as
the
hypocrites
doe
:
which
is
to
rest
onely
in
the
outward
worke
,
or
to
doe
it
onely
to
bee
seene
of
men
;
but
as
our
Sauiour
said
to
his
Disciples
,
that
they
must
not
fast
as
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
did
,
so
may
I
say
to
you
:
1.
Thou
must
not
fast
as
the
Papists
do
:
that
is
,
to
rest
in
the
doing
of
the
worke
;
as
though
we
had
done
God
great
seruice
in
abstaining
from
a
bit
of
meat
:
for
God
respects
the
manner
how
we
doe
it
,
more

2.
You

for

therefore
wee
can
appoint
set

no
otherwise
then
wee
can
set

8.
You
must
not

do

in

part
of

and
filling

You

for
a

is
an

for

You
must
not
fast
as
the
Papists
do
,
to
rest
in
the
doing
of

for
a

2.
Now
because
of
the
present
occasion
,
if
any
aske
then
how
should
we
fast
:
I
answer
,
That
we
must
goe
to
the
word
of
God
,
and
therein
wee
shall
know
the
will
of
God
,
as
for
the
matter
,
so
for
the
manner
of
it
also
:
for
it
doth
not
onely
exhort
vs
to
doe
the
thing
,
but
also
doth
direct
vs
in
the
manner
how
to
doe
it
.
For
it
is
a
most
perfect
rule
for
our
practise
.
Now
howsoeuer
some
light
is
already
giuen
vnto
it
by
opposing
of
it
vnto
the
fained
hypocriticall
fasts
of
the
Papists
,
as
that
we
may
not
rest
in
the
worke
done
,
nor
doe
it
to
be
seene
of
men
,
nor
put
holinesse
in
the
worke
,
nor
thinke
to
merite
by
it
,
nor
to
satisfie
for
sinne
with
it
;
nor
to
appoint
times
to
fast
without
lawfull
authority
,
or
otherwise
then
we
haue
occasion
of
sorrow
offered
vnto
vs
;
nor
to
obserue
part
of
the
day
,
but
a
whole
day
at
least
vnto
the
Lord
;
nor
to
abstaine
from
flesh
but
not
from
fish
,
from
meats
,
but
not
from
drinks
;
from
grosse
meates
,
but
not
from
delicates
;
but
from
euery
thing
wherein
the
fast
may
be
broken
:
nor
from
meates
onely
,
but
from
all
outward
comforts
so
farre
as
honesty
and
necessity
will
beare
.
And
lastly
not
from
meates
,
and
outward
comforts
onely
,
but
from
sinne
also
;
yea
that
wee
must
not
hang
downe
the
head
like
a
bulrush
for
a
day
,
but
that
wee
must
afflict
our
soules
,
humble
our selues
,
loose
euery
yoke
,
&
cry
mightily
vnto
God
.
Now
howsoeuer
this
may
giue
some
light
,
yet
more
briefly
,
thus
thou
must
fast
1.
Observ
.
The
occasion
.
2.
Ioyne
thy selfe
with
Gods
people
.
on
this
manner
,
when
the
Lord
offereth
occasion
of
sorrow
and
mourning
,
eyther
in
respect
of
thy selfe
or
others
;
ioyne
thy selfe
with
the
people
of
God
,
if
thou
canst
,
as
in
the
dayes
of
Iosia
:
but
if
not
,
then
thy selfe
with
Nehemiah
:
and
then
set
some
time
apart
,
according
to
the
occasion
,
3.
Setting
apart
.
either
one
day
with
the
Iewes
,
or
three
dayes
with
Hester
,
or
14.
daies
with
Paul
,
or
three
weeks
of
daies
with
Daniel
,
according
as
the
occasion
is
of
greater
or
lesser
weight
.
And
thus
hauing
set
time
apart
,
in
the
fourth
place
testifie
the
inward
affection
4.
Testifie
thy
inward
affection
by
thy
outward
carriage
.
of
thy
soule
by
the
outward
carriage
of
thy
body
:
that
is
,
1.
by
humiliation
before
the
Lord
,
by
ridding
thy selfe
of
all
outward
comforts
,
so
far
as
necessity
and
honesty
will
beare
,
as
from
the
vse
of
the
marriage
bed
,
fine
or
costly
apparel
,
sweet
smels
,
pretious
ointments
,
pleasant
musick
,
or
dainty
fare
.
2.
Testifie
the
inward
desires
of
thy
soule
by
thy
earnest
suits
vnto
God
,
for
attaining
the
thing
thou
desirest
,
or
to
be
freede
from
the
euill
thou
fearest
.
And
thus
continue
seeking
the
face
of
God
the
whole
time
of
thy
fast
.
Now
because
the
exercise
of
this
duty
is
hard
to
flesh
&
blood
,
it
is
good
for
vs
to
obserue
the
motiues
hereunto
:
as
first
,
because
God
hath
commanded
it
.
2.
the
Saints
haue
practised
it
.
3.
much
good
hath
been
obtained
by
it
,
and
4.
by
the
holy
and
sincere
practise
of
it
,
much
perill
hath
beene
preuented
.
Obiect
.
But
if
any
shall
say
that
they
haue
often
fasted
,
and
yet
haue
not
found
this
effect
:
Ans.
I
answer
,
they
must
examine
themselues
whether
they
haue
not
fasted
like
those
in
Isa.
that
haue
afflicted
their
soules
for
a
day
,
and
hanged
downe
their
heads
like
a
Isa.
58.
bulrush
:
haue
they
not
fasted
for
strife
and
debate
,
and
to
smite
with
the
fist
of
wickednes
,
yea
that
they
might
the
more
colourably
commit
sinne
?
Now
if
it
haue
beene
so
with
thee
,
although
thou
hast
made
thy
voice
to
bee
heard
on
high
:
yet
this
is
not
the
fast
which
the
Lord
hath
chosen
:
for
as
hee
hath
appointed
how
we
should
fast
,
so
he
hath
in
his
word
also
set
downe
what
we
should
doe
in
the
day
of
our
fast
:
that
is
,
to
vnloose
the
Isa.
58.
6.
bands
of
wickednesse
,
to
vndoe
the
heauy
burden
,
to
let
the
oppressed
goe
free
,
yea
to
breake
euery
yoke
:
and
not
onely
so
,
but
thou
must
deale
out
thy
bread
to
the
hungry
,
bring
the
poore
that
are
cast
out
into
thine
house
,
couer
the
naked
,
and
not
hide
thy selfe
from
thine
owne
flesh
;
that
so
by
thy
outward
worke
,
thou
mayest
testifie
the
inward
sincerity
and
vprightnesse
of
thy
heart
in
the
seruice
of
God
.
For
thinkest
thou
,
that
if
thou
art
cruell
,
and
vnmercifull
vnto
thy
brethren
,
that
the
Lord
will
be
merciful
vnto
thee
in
the
day
of
thy
fast
,
in
hearing
and
helping
of
thee
.
No
,
no
;
therfore
examine
thine
owne
heart
,
for
we
may
deceiue
ourselues
exceedingly
herein
:
for
thou
maiest
seeke
God
daily
;
yea
thou
maiest
delight
Isa.
58.
2.
3.
5.
to
know
his
wayes
,
yea
thou
mayest
delight
in
approaching
neere
to
God
,
yea
thou
maiest
afflict
thy
soule
before
the
Lord
,
and
cause
thy
voice
to
bee
heard
on
high
in
the
day
of
thy
fast
,
and
yet
bee
no
whit
accepted
with
the
Lord
,
if
thou
come
not
to
it
with
a
pure
and
vpright
heart
,
and
sincere
and
holy
affection
.
Now
the
Lord
hath
promised
,
that
if
his
people
shall
humble
themselues
,
and
2.
Chro.
7.
14.
pray
,
and
seeke
his
face
,
and
turne
from
their
wicked
wayes
,
then
that
hee
will
heare
from
heauen
,
and
forgiue
their
sins
,
and
will
heale
their
land
.
Now
God
is
true
,
and
euery
man
a
lyar
;
therefore
if
thou
haue
not
found
this
effect
,
blame
thy selfe
,
and
seeke
to
finde
out
the
cause
in
thy selfe
:
for
either
thou
hast
not
humbled
thy selfe
as
thou
shouldest
,
or
not
bin
so
earnest
in
prayer
vnto
the
Lord
as
thou
oughtest
;
or
thou
hast
not
sought
the
face
of
God
with
that
singlenesse
of
heart
as
was
meet
:
or
at
least
thou
hast
not
turned
from
euery
euill
way
.
Now
we
must
doe
all
these
,
and
not
rest
in
the
doing
of
any
one
of
them
;
for
wee
must
humble
our selues
,
we
must
pray
,
wee
must
seeke
the
face
of
God
,
we
must
turne
from
euery
euill
way
,
and
then
wee
may
rest
assuredly
on
the
promise
of
God
for
a
blessing
.
Therefore
if
thou
haue
failed
heretofore
,
settle
vpon
it
throughly
for
time
to
come
,
not
in
part
,
but
in
the
whole
,
both
for
matter
and
manner
,
as
God
requireth
:
and
then
try
the
Lord
whether
hee
will
not
heare
from
heauen
,
whether
he
will
not
forgiue
thy
sinne
,
and
heale
the
land
.
And
thus
haue
we
thought
good
because
of
the
present
occasion
,
and
being
so
necessarily
led
vnto
it
by
the
doctrine
which
teacheth
vs
,
that
it
is
not
enough
to
doe
holy
duties
,
but
that
we
must
be
very
strict
in
the
manner
how
we
doe
them
;
to
digresse
a
little
,
to
shew
you
how
wee
ought
to
fast
so
as
may
bee
best
pleasing
vnto
God
.
Vse
2
The
second
vse
of
this
point
serues
for
reproofe
of
all
those
that
rest
onely
in
the
doing
of
holy
duties
,
and
neuer
care
for
the
manner
how
they
doe
them
:
they
will
preach
the
word
,
heare
the
word
,
receiue
the
Sacraments
,
fast
,
pray
,
giue
almes
,
but
neuer
respect
the
manner
how
they
doe
them
;
neither
for
the
inward
nor
outward
man
.
Now
howsoeuer
these
are
holy
duties
as
they
are
commanded
of
God
,
yet
because
they
are
performed
vnholily
,
the
Lord
doth
no
more
respect
them
then
the
cutting
off
of
a
dogs
necke
,
or
the
offering
of
swines
blood
,
or
of
manslaughter
;
which
are
all
things
most
hatefull
and
abhominable
vnto
him
.
Isa.

Obiect
.
But
is
it
not
well
to
do
the
wil
of
God
,
may
some
say
?
Ans.
I
answer
yea
,
so
you
doe
it
according
to
the
will
of
God
:
otherwise
thou
maiest
do
the
wil
of
God
,
in
some
sence
,
&
be
a
Pharaoh
.
Yea
,
thou
maiest
doe
the
will
of
God
,
and
be
a
Rabsheca
,
and
a
Nebuchadnezzar
,
and
be
a
Pilate
:
yea
thou
mayest
doe
the
will
of
God
,
and
be
a
diuell
.
For
it
is
not
enough
to
doe
the
will
of
God
,
but
we
must
doe
it
according
as
we
pray
,
On
earth
as
it
is
in
heauen
:
for
it
is
the
will
of
God
of
preach
the
word
,
yet
if
it
bee
but
in
the
name
onely
,
and
not
in
the
power
and
euidence
of
the
Spirit
,
he
shall
say
to
thee
,
Depart
from
me
,
I
know
you
not
.
It
is
the
will
of
God
to
heare
the
word
,
yet
if
any
cause
diuision
contrary
to
the
truth
which
we
haue
learned
,
wee
must
auoyde
Rom.
16
,
17
them
.
It
is
the
will
of
God
to
heare
the
word
:
yet
we
must
come
with
honest
harts
,
els
it
will
not
bring
foorth
fruit
in
vs
;
wee
must
come
with
hungring
affection
,
else
we
shall
not
be
filled
with
it
:
yea
we
must
heare
in
faith
,
els
it
will
not
profit
vs
.
So
Heb.
4.
2.
it
is
the
will
of
God
to
receiue
the
Sacraments
:
yet
saith
the
Holy
Ghost
,
Let
a
man
examine
himselfe
,
and
so
let
him
eate
,
and
so
let
him
drinke
:
otherwise
thou
mayest
bee
guilty
of
the
body
and
blood
of
the
Lord
.
So
that
thou
mayest
preach
the
word
,
and
bee
shutte
out
from
the
presence
of
God
;
heare
the
word
,
and
reape
no
profite
by
it
;
communicate
in
holy
things
,
and
yet
bee
spued
out
of
the
mouth
of
God
:
yea
,
receiue
Reu.
3.
15.
the
Sacraments
,
and
yet
eate
and
drinke
damnation
vnto
thy selfe
.
So
that
it
is
not
enough
to
heare
with
Herod
,
pray
with
Balaam
,
preach
with
Iudas
,
which
yet
are
all
good
for
the
matter
,
being
the
will
of
God
:
yet
because
they
failed
in
the
manner
,
they
failed
also
in
receiuing
any
benefite
by
their
worke
.
Vse
,

Thirdly
,
it
serues
for
a
comfort
&
consolation
vnto
all
those
that
do
the
will
of
God
,
according
to
the
will
of
God
,
that
performe
holy
duties
holily
,
that
haue
respect
as
well
to
the
manner
how
they
do
,
as
to
the
matter
what
they
doe
.
I
may
say
of
them
as
the
Psalmist
saith
,
They
do
no
iniquity
,
they
walke
in
his
wayes
,
therefore
Psal.
119.
3.
blessed
are
they
.
Vse
4
Fourthly
,
it
may
serue
for
a
iust
defence
of
all
those
,
that
notwithstanding
they
may
partake
in
holy
duties
for
the
matter
,
yet
dare
not
,
when
for
the
manner
they
cannot
doe
the
will
of
God
;
for
they
know
it
is
not
enough
to
doe
the
will
of
God
,
but
that
they
must
be
very
strict
in
the
manner
how
they
doe
it
:
and
howsoeuer
they
chiefly
delight
in
the
holy
things
of
God
,
knowing
the
benefite
of
them
,
yet
they
haue
learned
to
preferre
Gods
glory
by
doing
no
euill
,
before
their
owne
saluation
:
yea
to
damne
themselues
before
God
should
lose
one
iotte
of
his
glory
.
Therefore
those
are
much
to
blame
which
censure
Gods
children
,
which
through
tendernesse
of
conscience
dare
not
ioyne
with
them
in
their
worship
.
But
most
of
all
are
they
worthy
blame
,
that
not
onely
vnaduisedly
meddle
with
the
holy
things
of
God
themselues
,
but
rashly
and
willfully
require
others
to
doe
the
same
;
as
in
the
Papacy
in
Queene
Maries
dayes
,
many
of
the
Martyrs
were
compelled
to
cap
and
kneele
,
and
crouch
:
yea
to
put
on
their
Idolatrous
apparrell
although
it
receiued
but
little
honour
,
by
them
:
as
in
the
history
of
Doctor
Taylour
,
who
when
he
had
a
deale
of
their
trumpery
Foxe
in
the
1385.
pag
of
his
2.
history
.
on
his
backe
,
leapt
and
skipt
,
saying
,
Beholde
what
a
braue
foole
am
I.
Thus
haue
we
by
Gods
assistance
gone
through
the
exhortation
vnto
the
duty
,
with
the
direction
added
how
to
performe
the
same
.
Wherein
wee
haue
considered
of
them
,
first
as
they
are
laide
downe
by
the
Lord
,
with
the
earnestnesse
of
the
exhortation
,
and
strictnesse
of
the
direction
.
Secondly
,
as
they
require
duties
from
vs
in
two
points
.
Now
wee
will
consider
of
the
words
seuerally
as
they
lye
in
the
text
.
And
first
of
the
word
Remember
,
which
signifieth
two
things
,

it
is
al
one
with
the
word
Selah

:
whence
we
learne

That
the
Lord
would
haue
vs
to
take
great
notice
of
the
affliction
of
his
people
:
This
is
plaine
from
the
text
,
and
prooued
plentifully
throughout
all
the
Scripture
.
Reas.
1
The
reason
is
,
because
they
are
precious
Psal.

in
the
sight
of
God
;
for
Precious
in
his
sight
is
the
death
of
his
Saints
,
and
those
that
touch
them
,
touch
the
apple
of

his
eye
.
Reas.

Secondly
,
because
of
their
dignity
;
they

are
all
Kings
,
and
Priests
,
and
Senatours
.
Vse
.
1
The
vse
serues
first
for
instruction
vnto
euery
one
,
Not
to
passe
by
the
affliction
of
the
people
of
God
,
as
a
thing
of
no
weight
,
or
of
no
respect
:
seeing
they
are
so
pretious
in
the
sight
of
God
,
euen
as
the
apple
of
his
eie
,
and
in
themselues
such
an
honourable
people
,
all
Kings
,
all
Priests
,
all
Prophets
,
being
annointed
with
the
oyntment
of
God
.
1.
Ioh.
2.
Vse
.
2
Secondly
,
it
serues
for
reproofe
,
first
,
of
all
those
that
are
instruments
of
their
afflictions
.
2.
those
that
passe
by
their
afflictions
without
any
respect
.
3.
those
that
take
notice
of
them
,
yet
doe
not
duly
respect
them
,
as
they
should
.
Vse
.

Thirdly
,
it
serues
for
a
consolation
vnto
all
those
that
doe
duely
take
to
heart
,
and
remember
the
afflictions
of
the
people
of
God
.
The
word
Remember
being
taken
in
the
other
signification
or
acceptation
,
to
put
vs
in
mind
of
our
forgetfulnes
,
is
all
one
with
that
in
the
beginning
of
the
4.
commandement
;
whence
we
learne
:
Doct.
8
That
naturally
wee
are
very
subiect
to
forget
the
afflictions
of
the
people
of
God
:
for
proofe
whereof
wee
neede
to
goe
no
farther
then
to
our selues
;
for
how
often
haue
wee
heard
of
their
affliction
,
and
how
soone
haue
wee
forgot
it
,
euen
with
the
hearing
?
But
if
at
any
time
wee
haue
had
any
further
purpose
to
remember
them
,
how
soone
hath
it
beene
forgot
by
euery
light
occasion
?
Reas.
The
reason
is
,
partly
our
too
much
loue
of
the
world
,
&
our
too
litle
loue
of
God
.
Vse
.
1
The
vse
serues
to
stir
vp
euery
one
of
vs
to
take
notice
of
our
secure
estate
in
this
respect
,
&
seeing
it
is
occasioned
by
those
things
mentioned
in
the
reason
:
O
let
vs
labour
for
time
to
come
,
to
haue
our
harts
more
and
more
possest
with
the
loue
of
God
,
&
our
affection
more
drawn
from
the
loue
of
the
things
that
are
here
below
,
&
set
wholly
on
the
things
that
are
aboue
:
&
then
we
shall
declare
our
loue
to
him
that
hath
begot
,
by
louing
those
that
are
begotten
of
him
.
And
3.
let
it
humble
vs
:
yea
further
our
humiliation
at
this
present
time
,
that
we
haue
beene
so
forgetfull
of
the
affliction
of
the
people
of
God
in
former
time
.
Thus
much
for
the
word
Remember
,
it
is
added
,
Remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
:
which
teacheth
vs
thus
much
:
Doct.
9
That
the
people
of
God
in
all
ages
haue
beene
subiect
to
bonds
and
afflictions
.
For
proofe
hereof
looke
from
the
very
first
time
;
Abel
by
Cain
,
Abraham
by
Abimelech
,
Isaacke
by
Ishmaal
,
Iacob
by
Esau
,
Ioseph
by
his
brethren
;
the
Israelites
by
the
Egyptians
,
the
Moabits
,
the
Ammonites
,
the
Amalekites
,
the
Palestits
,
the
Canaanites
,
the
Babilonians
,
the
Tyrians
and
Syrians
,
and
who
not
?
Dauid
by
Saul
,
Dauid
by
his
sonnes
:
yea
Dauid
by
his
wife
.
And
if
we
come
to
the
new
Testament
,
Christ
by
the
Iewes
;
his
Apostles
,
by
the
Gentiles
;
his
faithfull
Disciples
,
by
the
Antichristian
Romanes
,
and
his
whole
Church
by
the
world
of
vnbeleeuers
.
Yea
as
the
Israelites
had
not
one
people
alone
set
against
them
,
but
euen
so
many
as
there
were
nations
vnder
heauen
,
so
it
is
with
the
Church
of
Christ
;
they
haue
not
one
people
alone
aduerse
vnto
them
,
but
so
many
as
there
are
vnbeleeuers
in
the
whole
world
,
whether
they
bee
Turkes
,
Papists
,
or
of
what
nation
soeuer
:
besides
those
secret
enemies
that
it
nurceth
vp
in
its
owne
bosome
.
And
yet
they
haue
not
onely
these
enemies
of
diuers
sorts
,
but
also
they
are
subiect
to
afflictions
of
all
sorts
,
as
necessities
,
distresses
,
stripes
,
imprisonment
,
tumults
,
labours
,
watchings
,
fastings
,
dishonours
,
euill

and
what
not
?

The
reason
hereof
our
Sauiour
himselfe
Ioh.
15.

20
,
21.
giues
in
Ioh.
15.
and
that
is
,
Because
they
are
not
of
the
world
.
2.
Secondly
,
because
they
are
not
greater
then
their
maister
;
for
saith
Christ
,
If
they
haue
persecuted
me
,
they
will
persecute
you
also
.
3.
Thirdly
,
because
they
professe
the
name
of
Christ
.
4.
The
fourth
reason
that
our
Sauiour
giues
in
that
place
,
is
in
respect
of
the
wicked
themselues
,
because
they
know
not
God
;
for
saith
Christ
,
All
these
things
will
they
doe
vnto
you
for
my
names
sake
:
because
they
haue
not
knowne
him
that
sent
me
.

The
fifth
reason
why
the
children
of
God
in
al
ages
,
haue
been
subiect
to
bonds
and
afflictions
,
is
in
respect
of
that
auncient
enmity
thrt
is
betweene
the
seede
of
the
woman
,
and
the
seede
of
the
serpent
,
Gen.
3.
6.
Sixtly
,
because
the
Lord
hath
more
respect
to
them
then
to
the
wicked
,
as
in
the
example
of
Cain
and
Abel
,
Gen.
4.
5
,
6.
7.
Seuenthly
,
because
they
testifie
vnto
the
world
,
that
the
works
thereof
are
e-euill
.
Ioh.
7.
7.
8.
Eighthly
,
because
they
cannot
but
speake
the
things
that
they
haue
seene
and
heard

Act.
4.
20
,
9.
Ninthly
,
because
they
wil

same
excesse
of

Quest.
But
heere
a
question
may
bee
asked
,
why
the
Lord
doth
suffer
his
children
to
be
thus
afflicted
in
the
world
.
Ans.
Vnto
which
wee
answer
with
the
Holy
Ghost
in
the
12.
chap.
of
the
epistle
to
the
Heb.
12.
10
Heb.
ver.
10.
that
he
doth
it
for
their
profite
,
and
that
in
diuers
respects
:
first
here
;
secondly
,
hereafter
;
Partly
in
respect
of
the
good
it
brings
forth
in
them
,
partly
in
respect
of
the
good
it
brings
vpon
them
,
or
causeth
vnto
them
;
as
first
hereby
that
they
might
be
partakers
of
his
holinesse
.
Heb.
12.
2.
Secondly
,
that
it
might
bring
foorth
in
them
the
quiet
fruit
of
righteousnesse
,
ver.
11
,
3.
Thirdly
that
the
inward
man
might
be
renued
daily
,
2
Cor.
4.
16.
4.
Fourthly
,
that
by
an
increase
of
grace
,
the
loue
of
God
may
bee
shed
abroad
in
their
hearts
,
Rom.
5.
5.
Fiftly
,
that
the
life
of
Iesus
might
bee
made
manifest
in
their
bodies
,
2
Cor.
4.
10.
6.
Sixtly
,
that
hereby
their
faith
being
made
to
shine
the
more
pretiouser
:
it
might
be
found
vnto
their
praise
and
honour
and
glory
,
at
the
appearing
of
Iesus
Christ
,
1
Pet.
1.
7.

Seuenthly
,
that
hereby
they
might
receiue

farre
more
excellent
and
eternall
weight
of
glory
,

Now
is
not
this
for
their

,
to
be
blessed

And
to
bee
comforted
hereafter

Is

And

Is
not

the
Spirit

here
?

And
to
receiue
a

an

Further
,
the
Lord

to
bee

to
trie
them
,
Iam.

and
proue
them

1

For
he
will
haue
none
but
pure
mettall
:
if
they
will
not
endure
the
fire
of
affliction
,
nor
the
fanne
of
sorrowes
,
nor
the
sieue
of
aduersities
,
they
are
not
for
him
.
Mat.
10.
38.
15.
Further
,
hee
doth
it
to
proue
others
,
Math.

For
as
hee
will
haue
none
but
pure
mettall
,
so
hee
will
haue
none
but
true
mettall
as
we
say
;
such
that
notwithstanding
they
may
see
those
in
the
forefront
of
the
battell
to
bee
beaten
and
sore
opprest
,
yet
will
be
ready
to
stand
in
the
face
of
the
enemy
,
when
their
turne
shall
come
:
Such
that
notwithstanding
they
may
see
Christ
in
his
members
oftentimes
haue
not
wheron
to
rest
their
head
,
yet
with
Ruth
will
resolue
to
worship
the
same
God
with
them
;
yea
to
liue
with
them
and
die
with
them
:
notwithstanding
it
requireth
the
forsaking
of
country
,
kindred
,
meanes
,
and
all
.
Ruth

Further
,
the
Lord
suffers
his
to
be
in
bonds
and
affliction
;
sometime
to
shame
Satan
and
wicked
men
that
accuse
them
,
that
they
serue
God
but
for
their
belly
sake
,
as
Satan
accused
Iob
,
Iob

17.
As
also
because
they
meddle
sometimes
with
that
they
haue
nothing
to
doe
with
;
as
Abraham
with
Hagar
,

16.

And
Dauid
with
numbring
of
the
people
,
2
Sam
,
24.
10.
18.
Also
,
because
that
through
the
vnregenerate
part
that
doth
remaine
in
them
,
they
are
apt
to
forget
God
with
Dauid
,
who
in
his
prosperity
thought
hee
should
neuer
be
moued
,
Psal.
30.
19.
Also
,
because
they
are
children
;
now
the
rod
is
as
necessary
for
children
as
meat
and
cloth
,
Prou.
22.
15.
20.
Also
because
they
are
patients
;
now
strong
potions
are
as
necessary
sometime
for
patients
,
to
purge
out
the
superfluous
that
offends
,
as
cordials
to
comfort
:
yea
,
ordinarily
before
comforting
cordials
,
there
goe
purging
potions
,
as
the
Lord
causeth
his
to
drinke
of
the
waters
of

before

them
in

possession
,
Ruth

,
he

he
takes
delight
in
their
affliction
,
but
in
the
fruits
thereof
,
Psal.
5.
15.
46.
Further
,
the
Lord
lets
his
bee
in
bonds
and
affliction
,
because
hee
would
magnifie
his
prouidence
in
vpholding
of
them
,
2
Cor.
4.
9.
47.
His
goodnesse
in
relieuing
of
them
,
2
Cor.

10.
48.
His
power
in
deliuering
of
them
,
Psal

19.
49.
Further
,
hee
doth
it
that
heauen
might
be
the
better
welcome
vnto
them
,
when
they
shall
come
thither
,
comming
out
of
great
tribulation
,
and
all
teares
being
wiped
away
from
their
eyes
,
Reue.
7.
14.
50.
And
lastly
,
he
doth
it
because
hee
wils
it
;
for
the
holy
Ghost
saith
,
that
through
many
afflictions
we
must
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
And
,
All
that
will
liue
godly
in
Christ
Iesus
shall
suffer
persecution

This
point
being
thus
proued
and
cleered
,
the
vses
follow
.
Vse
.
1
And
first
it
serues
to
informe
vs
,
that
it
is
no
new
thing
to
heare
of
the
affliction
of
the
people
of
God
,
for
it
hath
beene
so
in
all
ages
.
2.
Secondly
to
instruct
vs
,
that
wee
thinke
it
no
strange
thing
,
if
the
like
doe
befall
vs
,
seeing
that
it
is
the
lotte
of
all
Gods
people
,
1
Thess.
3.
4.
3.
Thirdly
,
it
serues
to
comfort
vs
in
affliction
,
knowing
that
hereby
we
are
so
farre
from
being
seuered
from
the
people
of
God
,
that
euen
by
it
wee
are
made
companions
with
them
,
1
Thess.
2.
14.
4.
Fourthly
,
it
serues
to
take
away
the
offence
of
the
crosse
in
others
;
seeing
that
the
Lord
in
his
wisdome
and
loue
,
makes
it
so
many
waies
beneficiall
vnto
his
children
.
Thus
much
for
this
point
,
it
followes
.
Note
.
But
before
we
passe
any
further
,
note
;
that
whereas
we
said
in
the
beginning
of
the
last
question
,
that
afflictions
were
profitable
,
and
that
in
diuers
respects
,
we
are
not
so
to
take
it
as
the
Papists
doe
,
that
they
are
the
cause
of
profit
vnto
vs
properly
,
but
that
the
wise
disposing
hand
of
God
,
doth
make
them
so
vnto
his
children
;
for
afflictions
are
euill
of
their
owne
nature
,
Amos
3.
6.
And
indeed
they
are
most
euill
vnto
all
the
vngodly
,
euen
as
the
beginnings
of
hell
vnto
them
,
Psal.
11.
5
,
6.
&
50
,
22.
2.
Thess.
1.
6.
But
vnto
all
the
faithfull
,
they
are
fatherly
chastisements
,
whereby
the
Lord
iudgeth
them
here
,
that
they
might
not
be
condemned
hereafter
,
1
Cor.
11.
32.
So
that
this
is
it
that
makes
them
profitable
,
whilest
the
faithfull
doe
feele
God
to
bee
betweene
them
and
the
weight
of
the
euils
which
they
endure
in
the
punishments
and
chastisements
which
hee
inflicts
vpon
them
,
2
Cor.
4.
9.
They
haue
therein
a
certaine
pledge
and
seale
of
his
loue
,
Heb.
12.
6.
for
if
he
loued
them
not
(
as
one
wel
saith
)
Caluin
:
on
Heb.
12.
ver.
6.
hee
would
not
bee
thus
carefull
for
their
saluation
,
Heb.
12.
7.
Therfore
most
ignorant
are
all
those
that
vnder
this
pretence
that
afflictions
are
profitable
,
doe
rashly
,
vnaduisedly
,
indiscreetly
,
or
wilfully
pull
affliction
vpon
them
:
but
most
of
all
foolishly
ignorant
are
the
Papists
,
that
vnder
this
pretence
presently
vow
voluntarie
pouerty
,
and
so
bring
a
burthen
vpon
the
Church
carelesly
,
by
a
company
of
loytering
lubbers
,
idle
bellies
,
whose
glory
is
to
their
shame
.
And
there
leauing
them
,
we
proceed
:
it
followes
in
the
text
,
As
though
yee
were
bound
with
them
.
Whence
we
learne
,
Doct.
10
That
we
ought
so
to
minde
the
affliction
of
Gods
people
,
as
though
wee
were
our selues
afflicted
in
the
body
;
this
is
euident
in
the
Text
,
and
plentifully
proued
by
other
Scriptures
,
1.
Cor.
12.
25.
Reason
.
The
reason
is
,
because
that
as
true
as
our
armes
or
legges
are
members
of
our
naturall
bodies
,
so
verily
are
the
faithfull
members
of
the
Church
of
God
,
which
makes
but
one
spirituall
body
of
the
Lord
Iesus
,
Ephe.
5.
30.
Now
wee
know
what
a
simpathie
there
is
in
the
members
of
a
body
,
though
it
bee
farthest
remote
from
the
head
,
and
of
least
honour
,
yet
if
it
be
grieued
;
what
readinesse
,
what
diligence
,
what
care
,
what
respect
the
whole
body
hath
vnto
it
.
Vse
.
The
vse
serues
,
to
stirre
vs
vp
to
a
sensible
feeling
of
the
bonds
and
afflictions
of
the
people
of
God
;
for
are
they
afflicted
in
any
kinde
?
thou
art
afflicted
in
the
same
,
if
thou
belong
to
Christ
.
Yea
,
if
they
bee
afflicted
in
any
member
,
thou
art
afflicted
in
the
fame
:
therefore
denie
thou
not
the
duty
of
a
true
,
naturall
and
liuing
member
vnto
them
;
but
as
Christ
who
is
the
head
,
said
vnto
Paul
;
Saul
,
Saul
,
why
persecutest
thou
me
,
Act.

although
hee
was
going
to
vexe
the
poore
Saints
at
Damascus
:
Whether
thou
be
an
eye
,
an
arme
or
hand
or
legge
.
so
doe
thou
,
when
thou
hearest
of
the
affliction
of
the
people
of
God
in
any
place
,
take
it
to
heart
,
as
if
thou
were
thy selfe
afflicted
in
thy
owne
body
.
Thus
much
for
the
words
apart
,
now
let
vs
see
what
sweetnesse
wee
may
sucke
out
of
them
as
they
lie
together
:
Remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
,
as
though
ye
were
bound
with
them
;
and
those
that
are
in
affliction
,
as
though
yee
were
afflicted
in
the
body
.
Whence
as
a
second
gleaning
after
haruest
,
we
learne
,
Doct.
11
That
the
Lord
is
very
pittifull
of
his
afflicted
seruants
.
This
is
plaine
in
the
words
of
the
text
,
Remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
:
but
is
that
al
?
no
,
but
euen
as
though
ye
were
bound
with
them
:
remember
those
that
are
in
affliction
:
but
is
that
all
?
No
,
it
must
bee
as
though
we
were
afflicted
in
the
body
.
Wherein
the
Lord
calls
vpon
vs
seriously
to
thinke
vpon
the
affliction
of
his
people
;
which
shewes
that
hee
is
very
pittifull
of
them
.
This
is
very
plaine
also
,
in
all
the
rest
of
the
Scripture
,
Exod.
3.
Psal.
9.
Judges
2.
18.

Yea
,
it
is
proued
not
onely
in
those
places
cited
before
,
where
the
Lord
pronounceth
a
woe
vnto
all
those
that
doe
abound
with
these
outward
things
,
and
are
not
sorrie
for
the
affliction
of
his
people
,
and
curseth
those
that
sit
at
ease
,
&
come
not
out
to
helpe
them
in
their
need
;
but
also
in
all
those
places
,
where
he
calls
all
those
to
account
,
that
haue
beene
instruments
of
their
sorrow
,
as
the
Idumeans
,
the
Assirians
,
Ezek.
35.
15.
the
Babilonians
,
and
the
rest
;
and
like
a
pittifull
father
,
who
hauing
whipt
his
childe
cannot
endure
to
looke
vpon
the
rod
,
but
either
casts
it
into
the
fire
,
or
breakes
it
into
peeces
:
so
doth
the
Lord
deale
with
them
which
euidently
shewes
,
that
hee
is
very
pittifull
of
his
afflicted
seruants
.
And
yet
this
will
further
appeare
,
if
we
doe
duly
consider
,
that
all
the
promises
in
the
Gospell
are
principally
made
vnto
them
,
as
Blessed
are
they
which
suffer
persecution
for
righteousnesse
sake
,
for
theirs
is
the
kingdome
of

Reason
.
The
grounds
why
the
Lord
is
pittifull
of
his
afflicted
seruants
are
two
,
first
because
they
are
his
children
.
Now
wee
all
know
how
neere
it
goes
to
the
heart
of
a
father
,
to
see
his
children
in
distresse
;
This
made
Dauid
cry
out
to
his
seruants
to
remember
the
young
man
Absolom
,
2.
Sam.
18.
5.
euen
as
the
Lord
calles
to
Satan
when
Iob
must
bee
afflicted
,
O
spare
his
person
,
O
spare
his
life
.
And
this
is
the
reason
why
the
LORD
calles
vnto
all
his
people
to
remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
,
to
remember
those
that
are
in
affliction
,
euen
because
they
are
his
children
.
Reas.
2
The
second
ground
of
this
point
,
why
the
Lord
is
thus
pittifull
of
his
afflicted
seruants
,
is
his
owne
holy
names
sake
,
as
in
Ezek.
39.
24.
According
to
their
vncleanenesse
I
hid
my
face
from
them
,
therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
,
Now
will
I
bring
againe
the
captiuitie
of
Iacob
,
and
haue
mercie
vpon
the
whole
house
of
Israel
,
and
will
be
Iealous
for
mine
holie
name
.
And
in
the
thirtie
sixth
Chapter
of
Ezekiel
,
and
the
twentie
one
verse
,
the
Lord
saith
vnto
Israel
,
that
hee
had
pittie
on
them
for
his
owne
holy
name
,
which
was
prophaned
among
the
heathen
where
they
were
scattered
:
for
the
Lord
cannot
endure
that
the
heathen
should
say
where
is
their
GOD
become
?
Therefore
it
is
that
hee
calles
so
vpon
all
his
people
to
remember
those
that
are
in
bondes
,
to
remember
those
that
are
in
affliction
,
euen
because
hee
would
not
haue
his
Name
blasphemed
among
the
heathen
.
Vse

The
vse
serues
;
first
for
comfort
and
consolation
vnto
all
those
that
are
in
any
affliction
or
distresse
,
whether
in
the
denne
with
Daniel
,
or
in
the
stockes
with
Ioseph
,
or
in
the
dungeon
with
Peter
,
or
in
the
fire
with
the
three
children
,
or
in
the
waters
with
Dauid
;
whether
opprest
by
open
enemies
with
the
Isralites
,
or
betrayed
by
secret
enemies
as
Christ
;
whether
they
are
afflicted
inwardly
in
their
mindes
,
or
outwardly
in
their
bodies
:
Whether
in
their
estates
by
pouertie
,
or
in
their
names
by
reproaches
,
in
their
owne
families
or
abroad
,
with
inward
feares
,
or
outward
terrors
,
of
what
kinde
so
euer
,
or
by
what
meanes
soeuer
;
here
is
comfort
and
consolation
for
them
,
as
a
manuscript
sent
from
heauen
to
certifie
them
,
that
the
Lord
is
very
pittifull
of
them
.
Quest.
But
here
a
question
may
bee
asked
by
some
afflicted
soule
;
How
it
can
bee
,
that
the
Lord
is
thus
pittifull
of
them
,
seeing
that
many
times
hee
lets
them
alone
a
long
time
in
great
affliction
;
euen
to
the
reproach
of
the
world
,
and
the
pleasure
of
their
enemies
?
Answ.
Alas
poore
soule
,
art
thou
brought
to
that
estate
,
that
thou
thinkest
his
mercy
is
cleane
gone
,
that
he
hath
forgot
to
bee
mercifull
,
or
that
he
hath
broken
couenant
with
thee
,
and
that
hee
hath
quite
forsaken
thee
?
it
is
but
thy
owne
thoughts
to
thinke
so
;
yet
be
not
discouraged
,
it
is
but
the
same
that
hath
befalne
the
very
best
of
Gods
seruants
;
as
Dauid
and
Christ
:
for
Dauid
was
so
afflicted
and
so
long
,
that
he
thought
the
mercies
of
God
were
cleane
gone
,
and
that
he
had
forgot
to
be
mercifull
,
and
had
quite
broken
couenant
with
them
;
and
Christ
in
his
agony
thought
that
God
had
vtterly
forsaken
him
,
Psal.
77.
8
,
9.
&
89.
39
,
49.
Math.
27.
46.
But
they
were
but
words
of
passion
,
for
God
was
as
pittifull
of
them
in
their
greatest
afflictions
,
and
loued
them
as
at
other
times
.
And
this
Christ
knew
,
when
he
calles
him
my
God
,
my
God
;
and
Dauid
,
when
hee
had
remembred
the
yeares
of
the
right
hand
of
the
most
High
,
and
meditated
of
his
workes
,
and
deuised
of
all
his
acts
;
then
he
could
say
,
Thy
way
O
God
is
in
the
Sanctuarie
:
that
is
,
that
it
is
too
high
for
flesh
and
bloud
to
conceiue
of
,
but
onely
by
faith
.
Therefore
,
if
thou
thinke
through
thy
great
affliction
,
that
the
Lord
hath
forgot
to
bee
mercifull
unto
thee
,
consider
that
it
is
but
the
apprehension
of
flesh
and
bloud
:
thou
must
know
with
Dauid
,
that
Gods
wayes
are
in
his
Sanctuarie
,
the
which
if
thou
wouldst
attaine
to
know
,
thou
must
enter
into
his
Sanctuarie
with
Dauid
,
Psal.
73.
17.
and
there
thou
shalt
cleerely
see
the
end
of
the
Lords
dealing
towards
thee
,
and
how
hee
pittieth
thee
in
thy
greatest
affliction
.
Now
the
Sanctuarie
for
the
Saints
,
is
the
sacred
Scripture
,
into
the
which
if
thou
wilt
enter
with
me
a
while
,
wee
will
call
to
minde
the
waies
of
God
for
thy
greater
comfort
.
1.
And
the
first
steppe
shall
bee
in
Gen.
17.
1.
where
the
Lord
saith
vnto
Abraham
,
and
in
him
vnto
all
the
faithfull
:
I
am
God
all-sufficient
.
The
second
is
in
Ioshua
,
1.
5.
Where
the
Lord
saith
to
Ioshua
(
and
in
him
to
all
the
godly
;
as
the
holy
Ghost
himselfe
doth
expound
it
,
Hebrewes
13.
6.
)
I
will
neuer
faile
thee
nor
forsake
thee
.
3.
The
third
is
in
Isay
54.
7
,
8
,
9
,
10
,
11.
where
the
Lord
speakes
vnto
the
whole
house
of
Israel
,
saying
:
For
a
small
moment
haue
I
forsaken
theee
,
but
with
great
mercies
will
I
gather
thee
:
in
a
little
wrath
I
hid
my
face
from
thee
,
for
a
moment
,
but
with
euerlasting
kindenesse
will
I
haue
mercy
on
thee
,
saith
the
Lord
thy
Redeemer
;
for
this
is
as
the
waters
of
Noah
vnto
mee
.
Yea
,
the
mountaines
shall
depart
,
and
the
hills
be
remoued
,
but
my
kindenesse
shall
not
depart
from
thee
,
neither
shall
the
couenant
of
my
peace
be
remooued
,
saith
the
Lord

by

Temple
of
God
,
where
we
shall
heare
that
melodious
harmony
of
sweete
melody
,
sounding
in
our
eares
,
which
will
cause
our
hearts
exceedingly
to
reioyce
,
though
now
for
a
season
:
Iam.

if
neede
require
,
we
are
in
heauinesse
through
manifolde
tentations
,
1.
Pet.

And
now
being
by
faith
ascended
into
the
Sanctuary
of
the
Lord
,
if
we
trace
him
Psal.
106.
44
,
45.
Psal.
105.
8.
42.
from
one
end
thereof
vnto
the
other
,
we
shall
finde
that
he
neuer
forsooke
any
of
his
in
their
affliction
,
but
euer
when
they
called
vpon
him
,
and
turned
vnto
him
,
he
heard
and
answered
,
and
deliuered
them
out
of
their
distresse
,
either
by
remoouing
the
affliction
from
them
,
or
them
from
it
,
as
the
booke
of
Iudges
doth
plentifully
witnes
;
and
in
the
107.
Psal.
how
oft
is
it
said
,
that
when
they
cried
vnto
the
Lord
,
in
their
trouble
,
he
deliuered
the
out
of
their
distresse
?
But
yet
if
the
tentation
lye
sore
vpon
thee
,
by
reason
of
thy
great
affliction
,
that
thou
mayest
yet
doubt
of
the
mercy
and
truth
of
God
towards
thee
,
and
thinke
that
he
hath
forgot
thee
,
consider
what
the
Lord
himselfe
sayth
in
the
Psal.
105.
8
,
9
,
10.
That
he
remembreth
his
couenant
for
euer
;
and
his
word
to
a
thousand
generations
,
euen
the
couenant
which
he
made
with
Abraham
,
&
his
oath
vnto
Isaack
,
and
confirmed
the
same
vnto
●acob
for
a
law
,
and
to
Israel
for
an
euerla●ting
couenant
.
And
that
we
may
bee
fully
confirmed
in
the
truth
of
this
doctrine
,
●hat
God
is
very
pittifull
of
his
afflicted
seruants
,
seeing
it
is
so
hard
to
fasten
it
vpon
vs
in
our
passions
,
let
vs
further
consider
:
1.
First
,
how
highly
the
Lord
is
displeased
and
offended
with
the
instruments
of
their
afflictions
,
&
what
reuenge
he
hath
,
and
is
purposed
to
take
,
not
onely
on
particular
persons
,
as
Pharao
,
Rabsheca
,
and
Herod
,
but
also
on
whole
peoples
and
nations
,
as
the
Egyptians
by
drowning
them
in
the
midst
of
the
sea
,
the
Babylomians
by
dashing
their
young
against
the
stones
,
the
Iewes
by
scattering
of
them
on
the
face
of
the
earth
,
and
the
Antichristian
Romanes
by
powring
on
them
the
full
violes
of
his
wrath
;
yea
by
consuming
of
them
vtterly
with
the
breath
of
his
mouth
and
the
brightnes
of
his
comming
:
yea
it
is
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
a
righteous
thing
with
God
,
to
recompence
tribulation
to
them
that
trouble
you
,
and
to
you
that
are
troubled
,
rest
,
when
the
Lord
Iesus
shall
appeare
.
2.
Secondly
,
that
all
their
wrongs
he
takes
as
done
vnto
himselfe
:
Saul
,
Saul
,
why
persecutest
thou
me
:
Act.
9.
He
that
toucheth
you
,
toucheth
the
apple
of
mine
eye
.
Zacha.
2.
3.
Thirdly
,
that
their
afflictions
are
pretious
in
his
sight
:
for
Pretious
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
is
the
death
of
his
Saints
,
Psal.
116.
15.
4
Fourthly
,
that
whatsoeuer
is
giuen
,
he
takes
as
lent
vnto
himselfe
.
Pro.
19.
17.
5
,
Fifthly
,
how
that
hee
hath
taken
order
that
none
should
doe
them
wrong
.
Psal.
105.
14
,
15.
Touch
not
mine
annointed
,
and
doe
my
Prophets
no
harme
:
yea
hee
hath
reprooued
kings
for
their
sake
.
6.
Sixtly
,
how
he
supports
them
in
their
troubles
.
Psal.
46.
1.
7.
Seuenthly
,
how
he
accompanies
them
through
them
.
Isa.
43.
5.
And
lastly
,
how
he
calles
vpon
all
his
people
euery
where
to
remember
them
.
The
consideration
of
these
things
,
wilfully
establish
the
truth
of
the
doctrine
,
That
the
Lord
is
very
pittifull
of
his
afflicted
seruants
.
For
if
a
King
seeing
his
subiects
in
great
affliction
and
distresse
,
should
seuerely
take
vengeance
on
their
aduersaries
that
were
the
cause
of
their
affliction
,
and
therby
should
make
it
knowne
,
that
all
their
wrongs
he
tooke
as
done
vnto
himselfe
,
and
that
their
afflictions
were
deare
and
pretious
in
his
sight
,
and
thereupon
had
taken
order
that
no
man
should
doe
them
wrong
;
and
on
the
other
side
should
make
it
knowne
vnto
all
his
subiects
,
that
whatsoeuer
were
giuen
vnto
them
to
help
them
,
hee
tooke
as
lent
vnto
himselfe
:
yea
should
himselfe
support
them
in
their
troubles
,
and
accompany
them
,
through
them
,
in
the
fire
,
in
the
water
,
in
the
denne
,
in
the
dungeon
,
in
banishment
,
in
exile
,
in
pouerty
,
and
in
euery
distresse
:
And
last
of
all
,
should
make
it
knowne
by
publike
writing
sealed
with
his
owne
seale
,
that
it
were
his
will
that
all
his
subiects
should
remember
them
to
minister
vnto
them
,
and
to
doe
them
good
;
would
not
this
perswade
their
hearts
,
that
the
king
did
exceedingly
pitty
them
in
their
afflictions
?
Yea
,
yea
,
beloued
brethren
,
the
Lord
doth
this
to
you
,
and
more
too
;
for
the
king
could
doe
it
but
as
a
man
,
like
Darius
who
laboured
till
the
going
downe
of
the
Dan.
6.
14
Sunne
to
deliuer
Daniel
,
but
that
was
all
he
could
doe
;
but
the
Lord
doth
it
as
the
Almighty
,
who
is
al-sufficient
to
support
thee
in
thy
affliction
,
to
accompany
thee
through
it
,
to
daunt
the
aduersary
,
and
all
at
once
.
Therefore
as
it
may
serue
to
confirme
the
doctrine
,
so
it
serues
exceedingly
for
thy
comfort
,
whosoeuer
thou
art
,
or
whatsoeuer
thy
affliction
be
:
and
therfore
seeing
it
is
chiefly
the
intent
of
the
words
in
the
text
,
and
principally
intended
in
the
raising
of
the
point
to
bring
comfort
vnto
thee
,
depriue
not
thy selfe
of
the
same
.
Vse
.
2
Secondly
,
it
serues
for
imitation
,
That
seeing
God
is
so
pittifull
of
his
afflicted
seruants
,
euery
one
of
his
should
doe
the
like
.
We
cannot
follow
a
better
example
.
Vse
.
3
Thirdly
,
it
serues
to
shame
Christians
that
are
so
pittilesse
of
the
afflicted
seruants
of
God
;
it
shewes
they
are
no
whit
like
their
Father
.
Math.
5.
45.
and
that
they
want
a
great
deale
of
loue
to
God
:
for
he
that
loues
him
that
begat
,
will
loue
him
also
that
is
begotten
,
1.
Ioh.
5.
1.
And
if
wee
loue
,
we
will
shew
it
by
our
pittying
of
them
,
1.
Ioh.
3.
17.
Vse
.
4
Fourthly
,
it
serues
for
terrour
to
all
those
that
are
instruments
,
or
causes
of
the
afflictions
of
the
people
of
God
.
For
howsoeuer
it
may
bee
necessary
in
some
respects
that
they
should
bee
afflicted
:
yet
,
as
it
is
saide
in
another
case
,
so
I
say
in
this
;
Woe
bee
to
them
,
by
whom
the
affliction
commeth
;
for
doth
God
pitty
his
afflicted
seruants
?
then
hee
will
haue
no
pitty
on
thee
that
art
the
instrument
or
cause
of
their
affliction
,
but
will
esteeme
it
a
righteous
thing
to
recompence
tribulation
vnto
thee
.
Yea
if
hee
pronounce
a
woe
vnto
his
owne
people
,
because
they
sorrowed
not
for
them
in
their
afflictions
:
what
will
hee
doe
to
thee
,
who
doest
afflict
them
?
Yea
if
Meroshe
bee
cursed
that
came
not
out
to
helpe
them
,
what
will
hee
doe
to
thee
who
commest
out
against
them
?
but
euen
giue
thee
thy
portion
with
Pharaoh
,
or
Herod
,
or
with
the
Babylonians
,
or
with
the
Antichristian
Romanes
,
to
bee
destroyed
heere
,
and
to
be
cast
into
the
blacke
lake
hereafter
?
For
if
thou
haddest
no
other
sinne
against
thee
but
this
,
euen
thy
cruelty
and
vnmercifullnesse
against
the
afflicted
seruants
of
God
;
It
were
sufficient
to
side
thee
out
to
the
left
hand
of
God
amongst
the
goats
,
to
heare
that
woeful
doome
,
Depart
from
mee
yee
cursed
into
euerlasting
fire
,
which
is
prepared
for
the
diuell
and
his
angels
,
Mat.
25.
O
consider
this
ye
that
forget
God
,
lest
hee
teare
you
in
pieces
,
and
there
bee
no
helpe
,
Psal.
50.
22.
Vse
.

In
the
fift
place
it
serues
for
inuitation
,
to
inuite
euery
one
to
the
serious
meditation
and
due
consideration
of
the
words
in
the
Text
,
Remember
those
that
are
in
bonds
:
For
it
concernes
all
,
it
belongeth
to
all
,
of
what
estate
or
degree
,
or
condition
soeuer
,
whether
high
or
lowe
,
rich
or
poore
,
in
prosperitie
or
aduersitie
,
here
is
matter
for
thy
meditation
.
If
thou
be
in
prosperity
,
it
informes
thee
of
thy
duty
;
if
in
aduersity
,
of
the
Lords
care
ouer
thee
for
thy
comfort
.
Therefore
let
it
often
bee
in
thy
minde
,
and
often
in
thy
memory
:
let
it
lye
downe
with
thee
,
and
rise
vp
with
thee
:
Yea
let
it
bee
with
thee
in
thy
going
out
,
and
at
thy
comming
in
,
and
accompany
thee
in
all
thy
wayes
.
And
as
these
words
in
the
text
,
so
all
the
branches
of
the
same
,
with
the
seuerall
instructions
that
it
yeeldes
for
our
vse
;
and
consider
what
a
storehouse
of
treasure
is
contayned
in
it
;
for
howsoeuer
a
text
may
bee
full
of
heauenly
good
matter
,
yet
it
shall
not
bee
good
to
thee
,
vnlesse
rhou
profitably
receiue
it
.
And
as
this
is
the
masters
ioye
,
so
it
will
bee
the
schollers
comfort
,
euen
with
Dauid
to
hide
the
word
;
and
with
Mary
to
laie
it
vp
in
their
hearts
:
And
seeing
it
is
the
intent
of
the
Lord
in
speaking
,
of
his
Spirit
in
inspiring
;
the
inuiter
in
gathering
,
and
his
soule
in
desiring
,
that
it
may
bee
for
thy
profiting
,
depriue
not
so
many
of
their
expectation
,
thy selfe
of
so
much
good
.
And
seeing
that
the
sweetnesse
of
it
made
it
easie
in
gathering
,
let
it
not
bee
tedious
vnto
thee
in
reteining
it
beeing
gathered
.
And
as
it
serues
for
all
persons
,
so
for
all
times
and
all
changes
;
when
thou
art
in
prosperitie
,
to
teach
thee
;
in
aduersitie
to
comfort
thee
.
Vse
6
It
serues
in
the
last
