A
SERMON
,
preached
at
the
funeral
of
the
Lady
MARIES
GRACE
.
2.
Cor
.
5.1
.
For
,
we
know
that
if
this
earthly
house
of
our
Tabernacle
be
destroyed
,
we
haue
a
building
giuen
of
God
.
THE
sole
and
soueraigne
priuiledge
,
which
man
can
challenge
to
himself
aboue
all
other
mortal
and
inferiour
creatures
,
appears
not
by
the
fruition
of
any
present
felicitie
;
but
lyes
buried
vnder
the
hope
of
a
future
happinesse
.
For
(
I
thinke
I
may
truly
and
boldly
speak
it
)
there
is
not
the
poorest
worme
that
crawles
vpon
the
earth
,
but
if
a
tongue
were
giuen
it
to
dispute
with
man
,
it
might
plead
&
maintain
against
him
,
that
(
the
hope
which
hee
hath
in
Christ
Iesus
only
being
set
apart
)
he
is
of
al
liuing
creatures
the
most
miserable
.
1.
Cor
.
15.19
In
consideration
wherof
,
ther
be
two
special
things
,
about
which
we
ought
alwayes
to
spend
our
devoutest
thoughts
,
and
to
exercise
our
most
serious
meditations
;
first
,
vnde
abeundum
,
and
then
quò
transeundum
:
first
,
from
whence
we
must
remoue
,
when
we
depart
out
of
this
life
;
&
then
whether
we
must
remoue
,
after
we
are
once
departed
.
That
it
shall
not
be
with
vs
,
as
it
is
with
the
brute
beasts
of
the
fielde
,
which
as
they
liue
without
honour
,
so
they
dye
without
hope
;
but
,
that
an
aftercondition
is
reserued
vnto
vs
,
where
sorrow
shall
be
our
portion
,
or
ioy
our
inheritance
;
though
the
scriptures
themselues
were
silent
,
yet
the
writings
of
heathen
men
might
be
sufficient
to
testifie
:
the
discipline
of
Reason
,
hauing
taught
them
so
much
in
the
school
of
Nature
:
But
that
vnspeakeable
comfort
that
is
now
lockt
vp
in
the
bosomes
of
the
faithfull
,
those
that
are
markt
with
the
seale
of
Gods
Spirit
,
and
haue
receiued
the
adoption
of
Sonnes
,
is
,
that
after
their
deliuerance
from
this
vale
of
teares
,
after
the
dissolution
of
their
earthly
Tabernacle
,
they
shall
bee
clothed
and
crowned
with
the
glorie
of
Saints
,
and
haue
a
heauenly
building
giuen
of
GOD
.
The
confidence
of
this
felicitie
is
as
a
wall
of
fire
to
enuiron
them
,
as
a
hedge
of
pikes
to
defende
them
,
as
a
girdle
of
safetie
to
claspe
about
them
,
as
an
impenetrable
shielde
buckled
fast
vppon
their
arme
,
that
will
shiuer
,
and
break
in
pieces
,
whatsoeuer
darts
of
tentation
the
prince
of
darkenesse
can
throwe
against
them
.
Ephes
.
6.16
And
it
is
heere
specially
commended
,
by
this
blessed
Apostle
,
as
a
maine
argument
of
consolation
,
against
two
speciall
doubts
,
which
may
perhaps
disquiet
&
shake
our
hopes
:
the
one
is
mentioned
in
the
former
Chapter
,
and
that
is
vitae
infaelicitas
,
the
infelicity
of
our
life
;
for
,
the
state
of
it
is
most
wretched
and
miserable
.
The
other
,
specified
in
this
Chapter
:
and
that
is
mortis
necessitas
,
the
necessitie
of
our
death
;
for
,
the
stroke
of
it
is
most
certaine
and
ineuitable
.
For
the
first
.
Though
the
life
that
we
lead
be
ful
of
misery
&
vexation
,
though
we
be
afflicted
on
euery
side
,
though
we
be
distressed
,
though
we
be
persecuted
,
though
we
be
cast
downe
;
yet
notwithstanding
all
this
(
sayth
the
Apostle
)
we
knowe
that
hee
which
raised
vp
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
from
the
dead
,
shal
raise
vs
vp
at
the
last
day
;
and
,
for
al
the
light
and
momentany
afflictions
which
wee
haue
here
indured
,
rewarde
vs
with
an
exceeding
exceeding
weight
of
glorie
.
So
he
concludes
in
the
latter
part
of
the
former
Chap.
For
the
second
.
Though
by
the
sentence
of
death
,
the
soule
that
is
now
marryed
,
must
bee
one
day
diuorc't
&
separated
from
the
body
,
and
the
house
of
this
earthly
Tabernacle
ruinated
and
destroyed
:
Yet
notwithstanding
all
this
,
sayth
the
Apostle
,
2.
Cor
.
4.14
17
We
know
that
we
shall
haue
a
building
giuen
of
God
,
a
house
not
made
with
hands
,
but
eternall
in
the
heauens
.
So
hee
reasons
in
the
beginning
of
this
fift
Chapter
.
The
Text
thē
,
which
I
haue
read
vnto
you
,
containes
in
it
an
argument
of
consolation
,
layde
downe
as
you
see
,
in
a
hypotheticall
proposition
,
which
consisteth
of
2.
parts
;
of
an
Antecedent
&
a
Consequent
(
if
you
wil
;
of
a
supposition
,
and
an
assertion
)
both
of
them
grounded
vpon
certain
knowledge
&
perswasion
.
In
the
Antecedent
there
is
one
conclusion
granted
:
in
the
Consequent
there
is
another
conclusion
prooued
.
That
which
the
Apostle
grants
,
is
,
that
our
earthly
Tabernacle
must
be
destroyed
.
That
which
the
Apostle
prooues
,
is
,
that
wee
shall
haue
a
heauenly
building
giuen
of
God
.
The
testimony
of
his
proofe
is
a
word
of
assurance
,
which
hee
hath
annexed
vnto
both
as
a
band
of
confirmation
,
Gr.
Oidamen
gar
,
Wee
know
&
are
perswaded
.
First
,
therfore
in
the
Antecedent
you
must
be
content
to
furuey
the
ruines
of
an
earthly
house
.
And
thē
in
the
Consequent
you
shall
bee
led
to
behold
the
glory
of
a
heauenly
building
.
If
this
earthly
house
of
our
tabernacle
be
destroied
,
&c.
In
the
16.
v.
of
the
former
chapter
,
the
Apostle
tolde
vs
of
an
outward
man
,
and
an
inward
man
;
that
though
our
outward
man
faint
,
yet
our
inward
man
is
renewed
daily
.
And
in
the
beginning
of
this
chapter
,
he
tels
vs
of
an
earthly
house
,
&
a
heauenly
building
;
that
if
God
do
destroy
the
one
,
yet
he
wil
bestowe
the
other
.
Though
there
bee
some
difference
in
the
words
,
yet
I
think
it
is
a
continuation
of
the
same
allegory
:
and
that
as
he
doth
duos
homines
constituere
,
so
he
doth
duas
vitas
proponere
;
as
hee
doth
distinguish
two
sorts
of
men
,
so
hee
dooth
propose
two
sortes
of
liues
,
an
outwarde
and
an
inward
,
an
earthly
and
a
heauenly
.
By
this
earthly
house
,
he
meanes
this
earthly
bodie
,
which
(
like
creeping
Snayles
)
wee
doe
beare
about
vs
;
a
house
indeede
,
of
which
God
himselfe
is
the
builder
and
the
owner
,
but
yet
hee
leases
and
lets
it
to
the
soule
that
dwelles
in
it
,
as
to
a
guest
or
a
tenant
:
a
house
indeed
,
wherein
there
are
many
offices
,
and
many
roomes
,
some
appointed
to
honour
,
and
som
to
dishonour
;
and
yet
all
of
them
built
,
but
for
the
sustentation
of
that
life
,
whose
continuance
is
as
a
breath
,
and
whose
strength
is
as
a
bubble
:
a
house
indeed
,
that
hath
a
foundation
,
but
not
of
stone
;
pillars
that
vphold
it
,
but
not
of
marble
;
wals
that
inuiron
it
,
but
not
of
brasse
;
gates
that
open
to
it
,
but
not
fastened
with
barres
of
iron
;
a
roofe
that
couers
it
,
but
not
archt
with
beams
of
Cedar
:
Ionah
.
4.7
no
,
rather
like
the
gourd
that
was
made
for
Ionas
,
that
ouernight
sheltred
him
from
the
winde
,
Commorandi
Natura
diuersorium
dedit
,
non
habitandi
.
Cic
.
de
sen
.
and
in
the
morning
was
deuoured
by
a
worm
.
It
is
Domus
indeede
,
a
house
,
and
therfore
a
place
of
habitation
where
the
soule
must
dwel
;
but
terrestris
domus
,
an
earthly
house
,
&
therfore
no
place
of
residence
where
the
soule
must
bide
:
not
only
domus
terrestis
,
an
earthly
house
,
but
domus
terrae
,
a
house
of
earth
;
for
of
that
moulde
it
was
first
made
.
Gen.
2.7
.
yea
domus
luti
,
G●n
.
2.7
a
house
of
clay
,
and
the
foundation
of
it
is
in
the
dust
.

But
the
more
clearely
to
express
the
fragility
of
our
nature
,
the
Apostle
yet
ads
another
Metaphor
;
and
this
body
of
ours
which
hee
calles
an
earthly
house
,
hee
also
calles
an
earthly
Tabernacle
,
that
which
is
of
lesse
honor
,
of
lesse
vse
,
of
lesse
receipt
.
The
Apostle
Peter
speakes
also
in
the
same
language
:
I
thinke
it
meele
to
admonishe
you
while
I
am
in
this
Tabernacle
;
for
the
time
is
at
hand
when
I
must
laie
my
Tabernacle
downe
.

Now
,
Tents
or
Tabernacles
,
you
knowe
,
were
but
a
light
and
loose
kind
of
couering
,
spredde
over
head
like
a
curtaine
,
(
such
as
the
Patriarches
sometimes
dwelt
in
,
when
they
wandred
about
like
Pilgrims
in
sheeps
skinnes
,
Heb
.
11.37
and
in
goates
skinnes
;
such
as
poore
Sheepheards
at
this
day
do
pitch-vp
in
the
field
,
or
Souldiers
in
a
campe
)
which
were
only
tackt
or
fastened
to
the
ground
with
cordes
,
and
easily
remooued
from
place
to
place
.
Alas
!
how
can
we
then
maruell
,
that
the
corruptible
and
wretched
body
of
man
is
so
infinitely
exposed
to
casualties
and
misfortunes
?
considering
that
it
is
but
domus
terrestris
,
an
earthly
house
,
or
a
house
of
earth
;
yea
,
but
tabernaculum
or
tugurium
,
a
tabernacle
or
a
cottage
,
pitcht
lowe
by
the
ground
;
and
therfore
easie
to
be
ouerturnd
with
euery
blast
of
wind
,
to
be
washt
away
with
euery
storm
of
raine
,
to
be
riuen
in
pieces
with
euery
crack
of
thunder
,
to
be
ransackt
and
troden
vnder
foot
by
the
weakest
enemy
that
laies
siedge
against
it
.
Many
there
be
(
sayth
Seneca
)
that
complaine
of
many
grieuances
,
some
of
paine
in
their
head
,
some
of
swelling
in
their
feete
,
some
of
aches
in
their
boanes
,
some
of
crampes
in
their
ioyntes
,
this
man
of
distillations
,
Seneca
in
Epist.
that
man
of
obstructions
,
one
that
hee
hath
too
much
blood
,
another
that
hee
hath
too
little
:
but
maruell
not
at
it
,
Hoc
euenire
solet
in
alieno
habitantibus
;
thus
it
vsually
falles
out
with
them
that
soiourne
in
a
strange
place
.
For
,
this
receptacle
of
the
bodie
,
wherein
the
soule
dooth
lodge
,
it
is
not
Domus
but
Hospitium
,
not
our
Home
but
our
Inne
;
from
whence
wee
must
bee
turned-out
,
at
the
pleasure
of
our
Hoste
.
In
conclusion
therefore
,
what
can
we
else
expect
,
but
(
as
it
follows
in
my
Text
)
that
this
Tabernacle
,
which
is
so
oft
remooued
,
must
be
at
last
destroyed
?
for
,
how
can
dust
but
returne
to
dust
?
how
can
that
which
is
so
slightly
composed
,
Gen.
3.19
.
but
be
as
lightly
dissolued
?
how
can
miserable
man
,
that
carries
such
a
house
of
earth
vpon
his
backe
,
but
be
in
time
surcharged
with
his
own
burthen
,
and
waighed
down
to
the
earth
?
Happy
is
he
only
that
addes
not
a
second
burthen
to
the
former
,
a
burthen
of
sinne
I
meane
:
which
beside
the
surcharging
of
his
bodie
will
sit
heauie
vppon
his
soule
;
and
,
in
steade
of
pressing
that
to
the
earth
,
waigh
downe
both
into
hell
.
I
haue
heer
a
spacious
field
wherin
to
wander
,
and
my
lot
is
falne
to
me
in
a
very
large
and
fruitful
vineyard
:
but
because
the
vintage
would
be
too
long
,
if
I
should
stand
about
the
gathering
of
euery
grape
I
will
onely
presume
vnder
the
fauour
of
your
honourable
patience
,
to
cull
a
berrie
or
two
from
the
principall
braunches
,
and
to
giue
you
such
a
taste
of
the
wine
,

as
Ionathan
tooke
of
the
honie
when
he
had
beene
wearied
with
the
toyle
of
the
battell
:
which
may
happily
refresh
,
though
it
doe
not
fill
.
I
thinke
there
can
bee
nothing
more
vnpleasant
,
eyther
to
the
eare
,
or
to
the
heart
of
man
;
especially
if
hee
bee
of
that
gluttons
broode
,
Luke
16.19
.
that
neuer
thought
his
hands
so
well
set
a-worke
,
as
when
they
were
putting
on
soft
rayment
vpon
his
back
,
or
sweet
meat
into
his
belly
;
or
,
if
one
of
those
rich
fooles
in
the
Gospell
,
that
found
his
soule
fullest
of
ease
,
Luke
12.19
.
when
he
saw
his
barns
fullest
of
corne
:
nay
,
if
he
be
but
of
that
young
mans
race
that
fayne
would
haue
been
a
Disciple
to
our
Sauior
Christ
;
and
yet
parted
from
him
sorrowfull
and
heauy
,
Mat
.
19
22
because
hee
was
loathe
to
part
with
his
great
possessions
;
to
him
nothing
can
bee
more
vnpleasant
,
than
eyther
to
heare
from
another
,
or
to
remember
with
himselfe
,
that
he
lives
heer
but
as
a
Tenant
to
a
greater
Lord
;
that
his
bodie
is
but
a
house
which
he
holds
by
lease
from
another
owner
;
that
there
will
a
daie
come
,
when
the
dearest
delights
&
the
fairest
ornaments
that
belong
to
it
must
be
rifled
and
ript
in
pieces
,
and
the
building
it selfe
(
because
a
Tabernacle
of
earth
)
ruinated
and
destroyed
.
It
is
therefore
a
memorable
,
though
a
well-knowne
storie
,
that
is
reported
of
Philip
K.
of
Macedon
(
and
me-thinks
the
more
to
be
admired
,
Plutarch
in
vita
Philip
.
because
he
was
so
puissant
&
so
potent
an
Emperour
)
that
after
a
great
battaile
wherein
hee
had
discomfited
and
vanquisht
the
Athenians
;
lest
hee
should
haue
been
puft
vp
with
too
great
a
glory
of
the
victory
that
he
had
gotten
,
he
commanded
the
page
of
his
chamber
,
euery
morning
that
he
rose
,
to
salute
him
with
this
good
morrow
;
memento
Philippe
quòd
homo
es
;
remember
Philip
thou
art
but
a
man
&
thou
must
dy
.
But
,
oh
earth
,
earth
,
earth
!
heare
the
word
of
the
Lord
;
for
,
how
pleasant
,
Ier

22.29
or
how
distastful
soeuer
,
the
relish
of
my
doctrine
proue
,
yet
I
must
be
bolde
to
tel
you
from
the
mouth
of
an
Apost
.
that
the
greatest
of
you
all
do
dwel
but
in
earthly
houses
:
&
thogh
you
be
the
Kings
and
the
Iudges
of
the
earth
,
Psal

2.10
yet
(
with
reuerence

you
are
but
earth
,
iudging
earth
,
and
your

but
Tabernacles

manie
flittings

after

Me
thinks
heer
are
two
obseruations
,
that
directly
open
themselues
to
our
vnderstanding
;
the
one
pointing
at
the
mutabilitie
,
the
other
at
the
mortalitie
of
the
liues
that
wee
lead
.
Their
mutability
is
exprest
,
by
comparing
the
body
to
a
Tabernacle
;
the
condition
whereof
is
such
,
that
it
must
be
oft
remoued
.
Their
mortality
,
by
resembling
it
to
an
earthly
house
;
the
property
whereof
is
such
,
that
it
must
bee
soon
destroied
.
Tabernacle
.
They
that
haue
taken
vpon
thē
,
to
distinguish
the
life
of
man
into
seuerall
ages
;
howsoeuer
they
doe
sometime
disagree
in
the
computation
that
they
make
(
some
reckoning
them
to
be
three
,
some
foure
,
some
sixe
,
some
seauen
)
yet
all
of
them
(
to
my
vnderstanding
)
intimate
vnto
vs
thus
much
,
that
so
manie
variations
as
there
be
of
our
age
,
so
many
remoouings
there
be
of
our
Tabernacle
;
which
if
they
be
well
considered
,
be
they
many
,
or
be
they
fewe
,
they
shall
be
found
so
many
degrees
and
steps
of
our
misery
,
not
one
of
them
changing
our
condition
from
worse
to
better
.
The
Insant
that
is
newly
brought
into
the
world
,
hee
prophecies
of
himselfe
that
he
is
borne
the
heue
of
misery
,
when
he
salutes
the
light
of
his
natiuitie
with
crying
&
complaining
.

that
at

of
Funerals
,
the

should
be
born

they
that

attend
it
come

figuring
thereby

putting

in

they
must
all
one

follow

thogh
they
may
appear
strange
vnto

,
yet
Nature
it
seemes
had
taught
them
that
by
instinct
,
which
Salomon
in
his
time
obserued
by
experience
,
that
the
day
of
a
mans
death
is
better
then
the
day
when
he
is
born
;
Eccles
.
7.3
the
day
when
a
man
is
born
,
being
like
the
time
when
the
Trauailer
begins
his
pilgrimage
,
and
pitches
his
Tabernacle
abroade
;
the
daie
of
his
death
,
beeing
like
the
time
when
hee
makes
an
end
of
his
peregrination
and
settles
his
dwelling
at
home
.
But
from
his
infancie
,
he
passes
on
to
his
childhood
,
and
there
with
a
change
of
his
age
,
hee
findes
a
change
of
his
trouble
:
for
,
in
stead
of
beeing
tutourde
by
his
nurse
,
he
is
now
gouerned
by
his
Parents
,
or
liues
perhaps
vnder
the
feruler
and
discipline
of
a
master
,
where
all
the
liberty
that
hee
hath
is
giuen
him
by
allowance
,
and
the
freedom
of
his
nature
ouer
awd
with
a
kind
of
seruile
feare
.
From
his
Childhood
,
he
growes
vp
to
riper
yeares
of
discretion
and
strength

if
euer

happinesse

a

But
then

alas

then
he
lyes
open
to
his
greatest
misfortunes
,
being
growen
sensible
by
that
time
in
the
vnderstanding
of
his
misery
:
or
if
hee
be
not
sensible
to
vnderstand
it
,
the
greater
is
his
misery
.
Then
is
hee
eyther
enuied
for
his
vertues
,
or
else
flattered
in
his

Is
hee

most
inclinable

to
the
pleasures
of

and
to

of

either
not

from

which

12.3
they

the

which

the
strong

to

they
bow

the

,
which

as
the

they

and
the

that
doe
the
office
of
grinders
,
to
break
and
to
distribute
the
foode
that
is

for

,
they
do
cease
and
diminish
:
so
destitute
are
we
then
left
of
all
succour
and

,
vt

S.
Austen

that
whosoeuer

they
wish
for
nothing
else
but
a
long-lingering
infirmity
.
Let
me
adde
vnto
all
these
:
As
they
that
dwell
in
Tabernacles
and
in
Tentes
(
because
I
wil
still
guide
the
course
of
my
speeche
by
the
thred
of
my
Text
)
are
somtime
enforc't
to
remooue
eastward
,
and
somtime
westward
;
somtime
wher
the
clime
is
temperate
,
and
sometime
wher
it
is
almost
inhabitable
;
now
to
pitch
in
a
fertile
soyle
,
and
then
in
a
barren
;
now
where
the
ayre
is
healthfull
,
and
then
where
it
is
contagious
;
now
in
the
mountains
,
and
then
in
the
valleies
:
So
is
it
with
wretched
man
,
the
Tabernacle
of
whose
corruptible
bodie
is
not
only
subiect
in
so
many
reuolutions
&
years
of
his
age
to
be
once
remoued
,
but
euery
day
&
houre
of
his
life
to
be
often
changed
.
For
,
if
he
be
now
healthfull
,
hee
is
anon
sickly
:
if
he
be
now
full
,
he
is
anon
empty
:
if
his
good
name
doe
now
flourish
&
smell
as
a
pretious
ointment
,
it
will
anon
rot
,
and
the
very
remembrance
of
it
becom
hatefull
.
In
a
word
;
if
the
state
of
his
body
or
of
his
minde
,
or
of
his
fortune
be
now
prosperous
&
peaceable
,
it
wil
not
long
continue
at
the
same
stay
:
but
,
like
the
Moone
,
it
wil
be
sometime
waxing
and
somtime
waning
,
like
the
Sea
sometime
ebbing
and
somtime
flowing
,
like
the
Ayre
sometime
cleare
and
somtime
clowdie
;
like
the
flowers
of
the
Spring
,
in
the
morning
beautifull
and
fresh
,
in
the
euening
without
sent
or
lustre
.
And
lest
you
might
yet
imagine
,
that
this
is
but
the
condition
of
some
fewe
,
or
a
lot
that
is
layde
out
to
some
one
of
a
thousand
;
I
doe
yet
affirme
,
that
as
there
is
no
age
,
so
there
is
no
state
or
condition
of
mans
life
,
but
more
or
lesse
beares
a
part
of
these
common
calamities
,
wherewith
all
the
race
of
mankinde
is
equally
burthened
.
The
King
sits
vpon
the
imperiall
throne
;
and
yet
the
golden
crowne
that
hee
weares
cannot
keepe
his
head
from
aking
.
The
Peeres
and
Nobles
of
his
land
,
they
are
employed
in
the
honourable
gouernment
of
the
State
;
but
their
cares
are
greater
then
their
honours
.
The
Souldier
hee
fights
for
glory
in
the
field
;
but
the
best
ensignes
of
it
that
he
brings
home
,
are
woundes
and
scarres
.
The
Marchant
he
ransacks
the
bowels
of
the
Sea
for
wealth
;
but
al
hangs
,
vpon
the
end
of
the
cable
,
and
is
exposed
to
the
mercy
of
the
windes
and
waues
.
The
Scholler
,
hee
spendes
his
life
by
an
houreglasse
,
while
hee
labours
for
the
increasing
of
his
knowledge
;
Eccl.
12.12
but
hee
findes
that
there
is
no
end
of
wrighting
many
bookes
,
and
much
reading
is
a
wearinesse
to
the
spirit
.
The
Husband-man
,
he
sweats
his
heart
out
in
the
following
of
his
plough
;
and
thinkes
hee
makes
a
good
haruest
,
when
he
gets
rent
,
for
the
paiment
of
his
Land-Lord
.
What
remaines
vnto
man
of
all
the
trauaile
that
he
hath
vnder
the
Sunne
?

Considering
therfore
that
our
liues
are
so
full
of
mutabilitie

well
may
our
bodies
be
compared
vnto
Tabernacles
,
the
property
wherof
is
such
that
they
must
be
oft
remoued
.
But
,
beside
that
they
are
full
of
change
and
mutability
,
they
be
also
subiect
to
ruine
&
mortalitie

and
therfore
is
the
body
again
resembled
to
an
earthly
house

the
condition

a

,
not
made
by

,
but
bred
with
vs
,
to
which
we
are
not
by
any
humane
discipline
instructed
,
tutourd
,
or
trained
vp
,
but
by
a
celestiall
power
moulded
,
fashioned
,
&
contriued
;
which
not
the
frailety
of
fortune
,
but
a
necessitie
of
Nature
,
not
the
rashnes
of
man
,
but
the
iustice
of
God
hath
enacted
;
that
whatsoeuer
is
composed
of
Elements
,
the
same
should
bee
againe
digested
&
dissolued
into
Elements
;
that
nothing
which
hath
a
spring-time
and
a
birth
,
but
must
haue
a
ruine
and
decaie
;
nothing
which
receiues
grouth
and
increase
,
but
must
languish
and
waste
;
nothing
which
had
once
a
beginning
,
but
must
in
time
decline
vnto
his
ende
.
Yea
,
euen
that
frame
and
texture
which
we
once
receiued
at
our
first
creation
,
when
(
not
by
the
artificiall
workemanship
of
Prometheus
,
but
by
the
hand
of
diuinest
prouidence
)
we
were
composed
of
soules
and
bodies
,
a
soule
that
was
inspired
from
heauen
,
a
body
that
was
extracted
from
the
earth
,
a
soule
that
was
the
daughter
of
eternitie
,
a
bodie
that
was
a
vessell
of
corruption
,
a
soule
that
was
immaculate
and
diuine
,
a
body
that
was
slimie
and
impure
;
euen
this
may
teache
vs
that
in
natures
and
substances
so
different
,
so
repugnant
,
so
full
of
contrarietie
,
it
is
not
possible
that
any
neerenesse
of
friendship
,
or
the
confidence
of
any
long
enduring
safety
should
bee
procured
or
expected

I
will
not
heere
complaine
with
that
heathen
man
,
of
the
cruelty
of
Nature

which
hee
resembles
to
that
of
Mezentius
the
Hetrurian
tyrant

He
with
most
nefarious
crueltie
deuised
to
chame
liuing

dead

togither

and
bound

to
mouth
,
till
the
rotten
carcasses
of

had
stifled

She
,
in

manner

ioyning

seemes
to
couple
the
liuing

the
rotten

may
hasten
after
future
ioyes
:
the
same
in
effect
which
the
Apostle
hath
heere
deliuered
by
waie
of
consolation
,
that
if
this
earthly
house
of
our
Tabernacle
must
be
needes
destroyed
;
yet
with
assurance
wee
may
know
,
that
we
shall
haue
a
heauenly
building
giuen
of
God
.
The
necessity
of
our
death
being
then
ineuitable
,
because
wee
dwell
as
you
haue
heard
in
houses
that
are
subiect
to
corruption
,
in
houses
I
say
not
made
of
induring
marble
,
or
of
shining
brasse
,
or
of
precious
gold
,
or
of
polisht
Iuory
,
or
of
sweete-smelling
Cedar
;
no
not
of
a
waterie
substance
,
wherein
there
hath
beene
lesse
grossenesse
:
not
of
an
ayerie
,
which
being
more
simple
,
is
therefore
more
pure
:
not
of
afierie
,
which
being
carryed
about
in
a
region
so
neere
the
confines
of
the
heauen
,
is
the
most
vncorrupted
;
but
in
houses
of
slime
and
of
earth
,
the
most
impure
and
putride
Element
of
all
the
rest
;
that
dust
and
ashes
might
haue
nothing
wherof
to
be
proud
;
wee
shall
nor
neede
(
in
manie
words
)
to
dispute
about
the
manner
of
our
death
,
or
to
examine
by
what
meanes
this
house
may
be
defaced
;
when
,
hauing
so
weak
a
foundation
,
it
canot
but
be
battered
with
the
weakest
assault
.
Yet
three
manner
of
waies
there
are
,
by
which
the
fall
and
ruine
of
these
materiall
buildings
,
these
houses
of
wood
&
of
stone
;
which
are
the
seats
of
our
habitation
is
for
the
most
part
occasioned
;
eyther
when
they
be
smitten
with
casualty
,
or
when
they
be
sackt
by
hostility
,
or
when
they
decaie
through
antiquitie
.
And
by
the
very
like
occasions
you
shall
find
,
that
these
naturall
houses
,
these
lodgings
of
earth
and
of
claie
which
we
call
our
bodies
,
doe
also
come
to
bee
wasted
and
dissolued
.
Tres

For

that

the
messenger
of

approaching

that
is
the

But
S.

notable
saying

They
,
that
by

are

to
die
need
not
take

quid

what
happen

but
to
what

they
must
bee
sent
after
their
death

(

,
that
when

earthly
house
of
our
Tabernacle
is
destroyed
,
wee
shall
haue
a

But

The

of

dooth
heere
teach
vs
,
that
our
bodies
are

flitting
Tabernacles

which
must
be

remoued

but
houses

which
must

Now
(

what
meanes
all
the
labour
that
we
employ

all
the
Art

all
the
cost
that
we

about
the

are

How

how

Finally
:
wheras
it

our
principall
indeuour
,
to
seeke
after
heauenly
buildings
,
such
as
are
gi-of

they
bee
earthly
buildings
which
we
do
principally
seek
after
,
such
as
be
made
by

,
houses
of

forsooth
,
to
couer
houses
of

and
lands
and

Let
mee
now
tell
you
at
the
last
(
because
I
will
drawe
to

end
)
that
ther
is
a
three

earth
,
as
by

beene
prettily
obserued

There
is
terra

there

there

There
is
terra

and
this
is
that
wherein
we
labour
,
euen
that
ball
of
earth
vpon
which
we
tread
.
There
is
terra
quam
gerimus
;
and
this
is
that
wherein
we
lodge
,
euen
that
house
of
earth
of
which
wee
speak
.
There
is
terra
quam
quaerimus
;
and
this
is
that
for
which
we
look
,
euen
that
newe
heauen
,
and
that
new
earth
,
whereof
Saint
Iohn
hath
made
that
elegant
description
,
Reuel
.
21.1
.
The
first
of
these
is
subiect
to
corruption
;
for
,
in

day
of
the
Lord
if
shall
be
purged
with
fire

And
the
second
is
subiect
to
mortalitie
;
for
,
what
man
liues
that
shall
not
see
death
?
or
who
shall
deliuer
his
soule
from
the
hand
of
the
graue
?
Psal

.
Application
.
Nemo
tam
senex
,
qui
non
possit
annum
viuere
.
Though
commonly
we
say
that
there
is
none
so
old
but
he
may
liue
a
yeare
;
yet
as
good
reason
we
haue
both
to
say
and
thinke
that
there
is
none
so
young
but
hee
may
dye
to
day
.
Nemo

You
haue
heer
the
body
of
a
Princely
Infant
to
beholde
:
and
it
is
heere
presented
to
your
eyes
as
a
memorable
spectacle
,
too
truly
verefying
&
confirming
whatsoeuer
I
haue
saide
.
If
the
benefit
of
anie
priuiledge
might
haue
exempted
and
secur'd
her
;
no
question
but
she
had
beene
rescued
form
the
iawes
of
death
,
and
not
so
soone
made
a
prisoner
to
the
inexorable
barres
and
bandes
of
the
graue
.
The
tabernacle
of
her
house
,
it
was
but
newely
reard
;
it
had
,
you
know
,
a
royall
and
a
Kingly
foundation
,
it
had
all
the
honorable
ornaments
and
supportations
that
might
anie
waie
vphoulde
it
in
strength
and
beautie
.
No
trauell
,
no
charge
,
no
care
,
no
attendance
,
no
seruice
or
obseruation
,
which
the
skilfullest
Art
of
man
,
or
the
most
indulgent
tendernesse
of
a
mother-like
affection
coulde
possibly
compasse
or
inuent
,
eyther
day
or
night
was
wanting
(
and
I
speake
no
more
but
that
of
which
I
haue
been
from
time
to
time
&
auritus
&
oculatus
testis
,
both
an
eare
and
an
eie-witnesse
)
to
haue
preserued
it
inuiolable
from
this
assault
and
battery
.
But
,
what
auailed
it
the
Image
of
Nebuchadnezzar
,
that
it
had
a
head
of
golde
,
a
breast
of
siluer
,
thighs
of
brasse
,
Dan

2.31
legges
of
Iron
,
when
the
clay
that
was
mingled
in
the
feete
,
was
a
most
ominous
and
infallible
prediction
,
that
it
coulde
not
bee
of
any
durable
,
or
lasting
continuance
?
The
house
wherein
shee
lodged
was
a
weake
house
of
clay
:
which
being
manie
wayes
obnoxious
to
frailety
and
corruption
,
it
coulde
not
but
dissolue
;
though
I
doubt
not
,
but
that
noble
Spirit
,
which
once
inhabited
that
earthly
mansion
,
hath
now
a
heauenly
building
giuen
of
GOD
,
where
it
is
made
to
raigne
with
the
Saints
and
Angels
.
Shee
is
therfore
fallen
:
and
wee
may
say
of
her
as
it
was
sayd
of
Abner
,
that
a
great
Prince
is
fallen
this
day
in
Israel
.

of

gorgeously
vphelde
the
maiestie
of

In
her
life
shee
was
louely
and
plesant
,

so
sang

of

and
though

of

We
haue
a
little
sister
and
she
hath
no
breasts
;
yet
by
the
light
and
heate
,
that
was
seen
glowing
from
so
little
a
sparke
,
one
that
promist
excellent
hopes
(
to
the
world
)
of
whatsoeuer
we
account
to
be
vertuous
and
laudable
.
But
such
was
the
manner
of
her
death
,
as
bred
a
kinde
of
admiration
in
vs
all
that
were
present
to
behold
it
.
For
,
whereas
the
new-tuned
Organs
of
her
speech
,
by
reason
of
her
wearisome
and
tedious
sicknesse
,
had
been
so
greatly
weakened
,
that
for
the
space
of
twelue
or
fourteene
howres
at
the
least
,
there
was
no
●ound
of
anie
word
heard
,
breaking
from
her
lips
;
yet
when
it
sensibly
appeard
that
she
would
foone
make
a
peaceable
end
of
a
troublesome
ife
,
she
sight
out
these
words
,
I
goe
,
I
goe
:
and
when
not
long
after
,
ther
was
somthing
to
bee
ministred
vnto
her
by
those
that
attended
her
in
the
time
of
her
sicknes
;
fastning
her
eye
vppon
them
with
a
constant
looke
,
againe
she
repeated
,
Awaie
,
Igoe
.
And
yet
a
third
time
,
almost
immediately
before
shee
offered
vp
her selfe
a
sweete
Virgin-sacrifice
vnto
him
that
made
hir
,
faintly
she
cryed
Igoe
,
Igoe
.
The
more
strange
did
this
appeare
to
vs
that
heard
it
,
in
that
it
was
almost
incredible
that
so
much
vigour
should
stil
remaine
in
so
weake
a
body
;
and
whereas
shee
had
vsed
many
other
words
in
the
time
of
her
extreamitie
,
yet
that
now
at
last
(
as
if
directed
by
supernaturall
inspiration
)
shee
did
so
aptly
vttter
these
,
and
none
but
these
.
Her
losse
cannot
but
bee
an
affliction
to
her
parents
,
a
mayme
to
our
Kingdome
,
a
warning
to
vs
all
,
to
her self
no
matter
of
sorrowe
or
complaint
,
being
happily
arriued
with
so
little
tossing
in
a
tempestuous
Sea
,
at
the
shore
of
blessednesse
and
the
Land
of
peace
.
But
howsoeuer
it
bee
a
smarting
visitation
,
if
it
bee
well
considered
,
that
so
noble
a
branch
is
broken
from
the
bodie
of
our
Land
;
this
comfort
is
yet
reserued
(
and
long
may
it
with
comfort
continue
vnto
vs
)
that
the
royall
stocke
wheron
it
grew
doth
still
flourish
,
that
a
fruitefull
vine
is
still
spreading
vpon
the
side
of
the
Kings
house
,
and
many
oliue
plantes
left
standing
about
his
Table
.
And
yet
another
comfort
in
respect
of
her selfe
,
that
no
sonne
of
Beliall
hath
been
suffered
to
butcher
her
with
a
sacrilegious
hand
(
as
the
Diuell
had
once
intended
it
)
but
that
God
himself
,
who
planted
her
as
a
beautiful
flower
in
his
own
garden
,
hath
with
his
own
hand
bin
pleased
to
gather
her
,
euen
as
a
Lilly
from
among
the
thorns
;
for
whom
I
doubt
not
but
she
was
made
ready
and
ripe
betime
.
The
stalke
of
her
life
being
thus
early
cropt
,
euen
in
the
spring
and
prime
of
her
infancie
,
when
the
blossome
of
it
had
but
newe
begun
to
button
and
to
budde
,
shee
hath
lost
perhappes
a
fewe
dayes
of
ioie
,
but
(
I
dare
boldely
speak
it
)
many
moneths
of
sorrowe
,
being
mercifully
deliuered
from
those
variable
annoiances
which
shee
must
vndoubtedly
haue
felt
,
if
shee
had
surviv'd
to
the
Autumn
of
hir
age
.
So
much
the
greater
is
her
happinesse
,
that
notwithstanding
the
shortning
of
hir
worldly
sorrowes
,
she
loseth
not
the
least
part
in
that
blessed
portion
which
all
the
Saints
of
God
both
great
and
smal
do
expect
at
the
resurrection
of
the
righteous
.
Seneca
,
thogh
a
heathen
man
,
Seneca
in
Epist.
to
this
purpose
hath
an
excellent
saying
:
Hic
plus
edit
;
ille
minus
:
quid
refert
,
si
vterque
satur
est
.
One
eates
more
,
another
lesse
:
but
what
is
this
materiall
,
if
they
both
do
satisfy
their
hunger
.
One
drinks
more
,
another
lesse
:
but
what
is
this
materiall
,
if
they
both
doe
asswage
their
thirst
?
Thou
liuest
a
longer
time
,
I
a
shorter
:
but
what
is
this
to
the
purpose
,
if
at
last
wee
be
both
made
equally
happy
?
The
end
of
all
is
this
;
Conclusion

that
wheras
from
that
which
we
haue
heard

and
by
this
that

seene

it
is
euidently
apparant
that
the
life
that
we
lead
,
is
not
only
exposed
to
mutability
,
but
is
also
subiect
to
mortality
(
for
it
is
that
terra
quam
gerimus
,
that
earth
which
wee
carrie
about
vs
,
euen
that
Tabernacle
sayth
my
Text
,
which
must
be
oft
remooued
,
and
that
terrestriall
house
which
must
be
soone
destroyed
)
that
first
therefore
we
learn
to
confesse
with
Iacob
that
the
dayes
of
this
life
are
but
the
dayes
of
our
pilgrimage
;
Gen.
47.9
the
same
in
effect
which
is
taught
vs
in
the
sixt
ver.
of
this
Chapt
.
that
while
we
are
dwelling
in
the
body
,
wee
are
absent
from
the
Lord
;
and
then
to
pray
with
Moses
,
Psal
.
90.13
that
God
woulde
teach
vs
how
to
number
these
dayes
;
that
,
as
it
followes
in
the
eightth
verse
,
whether
wee
be
remaining
at
home
or
remoouing
from
home
,
wee
may
alwaies
couet
to
be
acceptable
in
his
sight
.
So
shall
we
knowe
&
be
assured
,
that
when
this
earthly
house
of
our
Tabernacle
is
destroyed
,
wee
shall
haue
a
building
giuen
of
God
:
euen
that
inheritance
that
S.
Peter
speakes
of
,
1.
Pet
.
1.4
Luk
.
12.32
Reuel
.
21.1
that
Kingdome
that
our
Sauiour
Christ
speakes
of
,
that
celestiall
Citie
of
the
new
Ierusalem
,
that
S.
Iohn
speakes
of
;
the
frame
wherof
is
all
of
golde
,
and
the
wals
of
shining
Iasper
;
the
walles
haue
twelue
foundations
,
and
the
twelue
foundations
are
twelue
pretious
stones
;
the
foundations
haue
twelue
gates
,
and
euery
gate
an
entire
pearle
;
the
gates
haue
twelue
Porters
&
euery
Porter
a
glorious
Angell
.
In
the
midst
of
this
Citie
,
there
stands
the
throne
of
peace
;
At
the
foote
of
this
throne
,
there
flowes
the
riuer
of
saluation
.
About
the
sides
of
this
riuer
there
growes
the
tree
of
life
.
The
fruite
of
this
tree
is
good
for
foode
;
and
the
leaues
,
to
cure
the
stinges
of
Serpents
.
This
is
that
terra
quam
quaerimus
;
that
new
heauen
and
that
new
earth
,
for
the
which
we
do
seeke
,
after
which
we
must
sigh
,
in
the
which
we
shall
reigne
,
and
to
the
which
God
of
his
infinite
mercy
bring
vs
,
as
we
doubt
not
but
he
hath
brought
this
excellent
and
now-happy
Lady
;
and
that
through
the
alone
merits
and
mediation
of
his
deare
Son
our
blessed
Sauiour
Christ
Iesus
:
to
whom
with
the
Father
and
the
holy
Spirit
be
giuen
and
ascribed
all
honor
,
and
glorie
,
and
power
,
and
dominion
,
both
now
and
for
euer
.
Amen
