A
SERMON
Preached
without
a
Text
.
I
Have
turned
and
turned
over
and
over
and
yet
that
Text
which
you
expect
(
as
the
subject
of
an
houres
)
discourse
presents
not
it selfe
unto
my
view
;
ye
may
imagine
that
this
Text
was
in
the
Apocrapha
,
for
to
you
it
is
{αβγδ}
,
yet
I
am
sure
it
lyeth
in
the
canonical
Scripture
,
and
that
in
some
part
of
the
old
Testament
,
and
though
precisely
I
doe
not
tell
you
the
place
,
yet
whereabouts
it
is
I
can
declare
,
it
is
in
some
of
the
Prophets
,
and
that
amongst
those
which
are
called
Prophetae
minores
lesser
Prophets
,
in
some
of
their
bookes
or
writings
it
lieth
;
and
since
it
doth
not
yet
appeare
,
give
me
leave
to
make
search
and
inquisition
for
it
amongst
them
:
I
'le
begin
my
search
at
the
first
of
these
Prophets
and
so
hold
on
in
the
search
till
I
find
it
out
:
the
substance
of
it
I
well
remember
and
can
tell
you
what
it
was
about
,
it
was
a
menacing
and
threatning
Text
and
spoke
of
Gods
wrath
and
displeasure
against
proud
and
wicked
ones
;
and
therefore
where
ever
I
meet
with
a
place
of
Scripture
speaking
in
language
,
I
shall
look
on
the
place
and
then
passe
on
along
in
search
of
what
we
desire
to
see
;
and
let
me
entreat
you
to
accompany
me
in
my
search
with
patience
and
attention
;
for
if
in
the
search
ye
find
not
the
thing
desired
,
yet
I
am
sure
we
shall
find
many
observations
resulting
from
the
severall
places
through
which
we
passe
,
that
may
(
if
not
delight
the
eare
of
the
curious
)
yet
may
profit
the
heart
of
the
humble
hearer
.
And
first
we
will
begin
with
Hosea
the
first
of
the
small
Prophets
.
And
here
looking
,
I
find
not
my
Text
;
yet
I
find
a
place
which
hath
a
great
Analogy
with
it
,
for
it
is
a
menacing
place
,
and
mentioneth
Gods
displeasure
against
offenders
;
yee
may
please
to
see
it
,
Hos
.
4.3
.
Therefore
shall
the
Land
mourne
,
and
every
one
that
dwelleth
therein
shall
lanquish
,
with
the
beast
of
the
field
and
the
fowles
of
Heaven
,
yea
,
the
Fishes
of
the
sea
shall
be
taken
away
.
Here
is
a
place
much
resembling
the
place
sought
for
,
and
indeed
't
is
worth
looking
on
it
,
though
we
spent
the
whole
hour
in
looking
on
this
onely
:
but
forasmuch
as
I
have
a
purpose
to
find
out
the
expected
Subject
;
therefore
I
will
onely
look
a
while
at
this
,
and
so
passe
away
to
the
next
Prophet
in
search
of
the
Text
.
Now
in
this
verse
I
see
three
things
,
Fons
mali
,
malum
fontis
,
subjectum
mali
.
Fons
mali
;
A
Fountaine
of
evill
,
and
the
worst
Fountaine
in
all
the
world
.
Historians
tell
of
strange
Fountaines
,
being
noxious
to
those
that
taste
of
them
;
but
none
so
bad
as
this
,
which
is
commonly
called
by
the
name
Peccatum
,
sin
:
this
word
sin
is
onely
contained
in
this
verse
inclusively
,
and
that
in
the
first
word
thereof
,
viz.
therefore
;
which
word
by
its
reflection
on
the
former
verses
,
doth
plainly
intimate
to
us
,
the
originall
of
all
the
ensuing
evils
to
be
sin
and
onely
sin
,
that
is
made
the
Fountaine
;
and
,
as
above
said
,
the
worst
Fountaine
that
ever
was
,
it
sendeth
forth
the
worst
waters
;
the
waters
of
Marah
were
bitter
,
but
these
waters
are
a
thousand
times
worse
then
those
of
Marah
,
for
the
water
flowing
from
this
Fountaine
is
a
venemous
water
,
a
poysoning
water
,
't
is
a
wormie
water
,
that
breeds
wormes
in
those
which
drink
of
it
;
living
wormes
,
stinging
wormes
,
knawing
wormes
,
such
as
will
be
knawing
the
conscience
,
knawing
of
the
soule
to
all
eternity
,
unlesse
there
be
a
timely
cure
;
and
yet
silly
Mortals
will
still
be
about
this
Well
?
about
this
Fountaine
,
bibbing
and
sipping
,
till
like
birds
with
cocculi-Indie
they
are
intoxicated
,
or
like
men
in
an
epilepsie
,
fall
a
turning
and
tumbling
,
till
they
tumble
and
turne
into
perdition
.
The
second
is
,
malum
Fontis
,
The
evill
of
the
Fountaine
:
There
are
many
evils
flowing
from
it
,
some
I
named
,
and
could
to
those
adde
a
hundred
more
;
but
those
evils
which
are
mentioned
in
this
verse
are
onely
two
,
viz.
expressed
by
these
generall
words
of
mourning
and
languishing
,
in
which
two
words
,
are
included
multitudes
of
evils
.
The
third
thing
is
Subjectum
mali
,
The
subject
of
the
evill
,
or
(
to
follow
the
Metaphor
)
the
Channell
of
the
evill
;
or
of
the
evill
water
flowing
from
the
Fountaine
;
this
is
a
broad
and
a
very
broad
channell
,
it
's
as
broad
as
a
whole
Nation
,
yea
,
a
whole
Land
,
with
the
Beasts
thereof
and
the
Fowles
of
Heaven
and
the
Fish
of
the
sea
,
for
it
overfloweth
all
,
and
runneth
over
all
,
forsomuch
is
declared
whilst
it
is
said
,
Therefore
shall
the
Land
mourne
,
&c.
Oh
what
is
this
,
I
read
of
mourning
and
lanquishing
,
and
't
is
a
strange
mourning
and
lanquishing
here
mentioned
;
often
have
I
heard
of
mourning
of
sinners
,
of
languishing
of
wicked
,
but
here
I
read
that
the
earth
is
to
mourne
,
and
the
Beasts
of
the
field
to
mourne
,
the
Fowles
of
Heaven
to
mourne
;
they
are
threatned
,
they
are
menaced
,
the
earth
shall
mourne
,
the
Beasts
of
the
field
shall
mourne
,
Fowles
of
Heaven
shall
languish
.
Alas
what
a
thing
,
what
a
strange
thing
is
this
,
that
evill
should
come
on
them
:
The
earth
it
is
a
harmlesse
thing
,
the
Beasts
,
Fish
,
Fowle
,
they
are
Innocentia
animalia
,
innocent
creatures
;
and
why
must
they
be
brought
into
this
sad
condition
,
what
have
they
done
,
whom
have
they
offended
?
What
is
the
Earths
offence
,
the
Fowls
crime
,
or
the
Fishes
transgression
,
that
they
are
to
suffer
,
with
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
;
I
read
not
,
I
find
not
any
thing
that
they
have
done
worthy
the
evils
which
are
to
come
upon
them
,
the
Scripture
layeth
nothing
to
their
charge
:
Read
your selves
and
see
what
you
can
find
;
well
,
ye
have
read
,
and
what
find
ye
,
ye
have
found
that
there
is
lying
in
the
Land
,
cruelty
in
the
Land
,
ignorance
in
the
Land
,
swearing
in
the
Land
,
stealing
in
the
Land
,
killing
and
murthering
and
effusion
of
blood
in
the
Land
,
and
all
these
things
committed
by
the
People
of
the
Land
;
still
I
find
nothing
that
the
Earth
is
accused
of
,
or
that
the
Beasts
are
accused
of
,
or
the
Fishes
or
Fowles
of
heaven
are
accused
of
;
and
yet
it
is
here
said
that
Terra
lugebit
,
&c.
The
Land
shall
mourne
and
lanquish
,
the
Beasts
shall
mourn
and
lanquish
,
the
Fowles
of
heaven
shall
mourne
and
lanquish
,
none
of
these
creatures
are
accused
,
onely
the
Children
of
men
are
accused
and
condemned
:
and
so
here
menaced
or
threatned
with
sorrow
and
lanquish
,
and
the
poore
and
innocent
creatures
are
wrapt
up
together
with
them
in
this
threatning
;
so
that
though
the
Children
of
men
are
sinners
onely
,
are
transgressors
onely
,
are
offenders
onely
,
and
so
onely
worthy
of
punishments
;
yet
the
harmlesse
creatures
are
to
suffer
with
them
,
for
so
here
it
is
said
:
Therefore
,
viz.
because
of
those
sins
and
abominations
of
men
,
the
Land
it selfe
shall
mourne
and
lanquish
,
and
the
Beasts
,
&c.
The
words
in
the
original
for
therfore
are
{αβγδ}
,
which
interpreted
,
is
Super
sic
&
super
ita
.
Therefore
upon
this
basis
or
on
this
foundation
which
is
laid
in
the
former
verses
,
is
built
this
horrid
structure
of
mourning
and
lanquishing
,
viz.
Upon
sinnes
and
transgresions
of
the
people
,
which
are
the
sole
and
proper
props
,
pillars
,
basis
and
foundation
whereon
God
buildeth
his
judgments
,
for
so
much
is
intimated
in
these
words
.
Therefore
shall
the
Land
mourn
,
&c.
From
whence
observe
:
Doct
.
Through
the
sinnes
of
men
,
the
creatures
,
the
harmlesse
creatures
are
subjected
to
severall
evils
.
)
This
we
may
see
in
the
first
beginning
of
the
World
,
Gen.
3.17
.
For
after
that
Adam
had
sinned
,
presently
God
is
angry
,
and
in
his
anger
fals
upon
the
Earth
,
curseth
the
earth
,
the
innocent
earth
,
saying
,
Cursed
is
the
ground
for
thy
sake
(
Adam
)
why
must
the
Earth
be
cursed
,
what
had
the
Earth
done
?
I
heare
of
no
evill
,
for
the
Earth
obeyed
its
Creator
in
supporting
Adam
and
the
rest
of
the
creatures
which
trod
upon
it
;
and
in
bringing
forth
Herbs
,
Flowers
and
fruits
,
for
the
severall
creatures
which
fed
on
them
,
and
so
kept
the
course
prescribed
by
the
God
of
Nature
;
and
yet
for
all
this
,
here
we
read
of
a
curse
coming
upon
the
earth
:
The
sinlesse
earth
must
be
cursed
,
and
not
for
its
offence
,
but
for
the
offence
of
man
that
had
wandred
from
his
course
,
Cursed
is
the
ground
for
thy
sake
:
so
that
wheras
the
earth
might
have
abounded
with
al
pleasant
fruits
,
now
it
must
bring
forth
bryars
and
thorns
and
thistles
.
This
was
a
strange
change
for
the
earth
,
in
respect
of
what
it
was
in
the
time
of
mans
innocency
;
such
a
change
,
though
somewhat
of
another
nature
,
was
there
of
a
sudden
in
Ireland
;
for
I
know
when
it
might
have
been
said
of
Ireland
,
that
it
was
Terra
florida
,
a
verdant
and
flourishing
Land
;
but
of
a
sudden
it
was
changed
,
that
he
which
had
looked
on
it
would
have
said
of
it
,
that
it
was
Terra
torrida
simul
ac
horrida
:
torrid
being
all
scorched
with
devouring
flames
,
and
horrid
by
reason
of
the
uncouth
spectacles
of
desolation
appearing
in
every
County
.
So
I
may
say
of
England
,
there
is
also
a
strange
change
in
it
,
and
so
strange
a
change
,
that
England
seemeth
not
to
be
England
;
the
people
of
Israel
were
promised
to
be
called
Ammi
,
my
people
;
but
in
respect
of
their
sinnes
,
they
deserved
the
name
of
Loammi
,
i.e.
not
my
people
;
so
England
by
reason
of
her
change
deserveth
a
new
name
,
sometimes
it
was
called
Albion
,
as
it
were
the
Alba
terra
,
the
white
Land
,
but
now
whilst
we
looke
on
the
confusion
that
is
in
it
,
we
may
fitly
call
it
terra
nigra
;
or
whilest
we
consider
the
effusion
of
blood
on
this
English
soile
we
may
(
with
sorrow
be
it
heard
)
call
it
terra
rubra
,
the
red
Land
,
or
rather
the
bloody
Land
;
such
changes
have
our
sinnes
brought
upon
these
two
Kingdomes
now
of
a
sudden
.
Againe
,
to
further
your
sight
of
the
creatures
subjection
to
evill
through
the
sinnes
of
man
,
see
Job
25.5
.
where
ye
may
read
how
that
the
Starres
are
not
pure
in
Gods
sight
,
the
Starres
not
pure
nor
pleasing
to
the
sight
of
God
;
the
words
may
be
taken
and
expounded
comparative
to
God
and
his
purity
,
and
so
also
they
may
be
taken
declarative
to
shew
what
they
are
now
;
and
what
are
they
now
?
why
now
they
are
impure
,
foule
like
him
that
hath
breathed
on
them
even
man
,
sinfull
man
:
what
is
this
?
are
the
Starres
impure
?
T
is
pitty
,
there
was
a
day
when
it
was
not
so
with
the
Starres
of
Heaven
,
when
there
was
no
staine
nor
spot
of
impurity
in
them
.
In
Gen.
1.31
.
We
read
how
that
in
the
first
creation
,
God
having
made
his
creatures
did
looke
upon
them
to
see
how
they
were
,
it
is
said
that
he
found
them
to
be
good
and
very
good
,
the
words
in
the
originall
{αβγδ}
,
that
is
,
very
good
,
very
tifull
,
very
faire
to
looke
on
;
for
in
that
sense
the
word
is
taken
Ester
2.3
.
Where
counsell
is
given
,
that
faire
Virgins
be
sought
for
the
King
;
the
words
in
the
originall
for
faire
are
{αβγδ}
,
good
to
look
on
,
that
is
,
faire
,
beautious
,
such
a
kind
of
goodnesse
was
in
every
kind
of
creature
at
the
first
,
then
every
created
substance
was
a
faire
object
and
pleasing
spectacle
.
God
looked
on
the
earth
,
it
was
good
,
that
is
,
faire
and
beauteous
;
he
looked
on
each
creature
of
the
earth
,
as
Stones
,
Herbs
,
Trees
,
and
each
stone
was
faire
,
each
herb
was
pleasing
,
each
tree
beauteous
.
He
lookes
againe
,
on
the
Sunne
,
Moone
,
and
Starres
;
in
each
of
them
he
beholds
a
beauty
,
the
Sunne
faire
,
the
Moone
faire
,
and
each
Starre
faire
and
beauteous
in
the
appearance
of
it
to
the
eyes
of
the
Almighty
.
But
behold
upon
a
suddain
there
was
a
change
in
all
these
creatures
,
and
so
amongst
the
rest
,
in
the
starres
,
for
soone
they
became
impure
,
foule
,
polluted
.
How
came
this
to
passe
?
What
could
maculate
the
glorious
Sunne
and
Moone
,
or
bespot
the
radiant
and
brightsome
Starres
of
the
Firmament
?
will
ye
know
what
it
was
,
it
was
sinne
,
sinfull
man
breathed
upon
the
heavens
and
by
the
breath
of
sinne
did
make
the
very
Starres
impure
,
uncleane
and
ugly
in
the
sight
of
God
.
Oh!
the
penetrant
and
infectious
power
of
sinne
,
that
passing
forth
from
that
silly
worme
which
creepeth
on
the
earth
(
viz.
man
)
could
so
suddenly
infect
the
creatures
as
high
as
heaven
.
Againe
,
yet
to
give
you
a
clearer
sight
of
the
power
of
sinne
in
subjecting
the
creatures
to
evill
,
see
Rom.
8.22
.
where
the
Apostle
speaking
of
the
creation
,
saith
,
that
the
whole
creation
groaneth
to
be
delivered
.
What
maketh
it
groane
?
It
is
a
burthen
,
a
heavy
burthen
,
a
burthen
of
vanity
,
a
burthen
of
corruption
lying
on
it
;
see
Rom.
8.20.21
.
who
laid
that
burthen
on
the
creatures
?
It
was
one
that
subjected
himself
and
the
creatures
together
in
hope
,
ver
.
20.
in
hope
of
some
great
matter
;
so
Adam
by
eating
the
forbidden
fruit
,
had
a
thought
of
attaining
so
high
a
degree
of
knowledge
,
that
he
thereby
might
be
like
God
himselfe
;
and
so
aspiring
too
high
,
fell
downe
full
lowe
,
and
with
himselfe
brought
downe
the
whole
creation
together
with
the
heavy
burthen
of
corruption
upon
their
backs
,
under
which
ever
since
it
groaneth
in
hope
of
deliverance
,
that
so
with
the
sonnes
of
God
,
it
may
be
delivered
into
a
consimilitude
of
their
glorious
liberty
:
the
Earth
is
one
of
those
which
groaneth
for
deliverance
under
her
heavy
burthen
;
the
Heaven
is
another
of
those
that
groaneth
for
deliverance
under
the
heavy
burthen
;
and
so
I
may
say
of
each
part
of
the
whole
creation
for
all
creatures
are
in
hope
of
a
happy
change
.
Not
that
there
shall
be
terra
nova
et
coelum
novum
but
onely
terra
novata
,
novatum
Coelum
;
not
a
new
earth
,
but
this
earth
renued
and
made
new
:
Not
that
there
shall
be
a
new
heaven
,
but
this
heaven
renued
or
moulded
a
new
i.e.
brought
into
a
more
glorious
forme
,
into
an
incorruptible
,
unchangeable
,
and
eternall
forme
;
't
is
for
such
a
change
that
heaven
groaneth
and
that
the
earth
groaneth
with
the
rest
of
the
creatures
here
below
;
you
will
say
how
can
they
groane
,
they
have
no
sense
no
reason
in
them
?
I
answer
,
that
this
is
but
a
metaphoricall
expression
,
whereby
life
and
so
sense
is
attributed
to
inanimate
things
and
yet
there
be
some
Philosophers
will
tell
you
,
if
you
please
to
beleeve
them
,
then
the
earth
is
Grande
animal
,
and
the
sea
is
Grande
animal
;
and
so
the
sunne
,
moone
and
starres
all
being
so
many
living
and
rationall
creatures
,
but
I
cannot
stand
to
passe
censure
on
their
opinions
.
Use
.
Thus
beloved
,
you
see
the
power
of
sinne
in
hurting
the
creatures
in
provoking
and
stirring
up
God
to
curse
his
creatures
;
man
sinneth
and
God
is
angry
,
and
his
anger
is
exalted
ad
talem
gradum
to
such
a
degree
that
presently
he
fals
a
cursing
;
he
curseth
the
Sunne
,
he
curseth
the
Moone
,
he
curseth
the
Starres
he
curseth
the
earth
,
he
curseth
the
sea
,
and
all
the
creatures
with
that
heavy
curse
of
corruption
;
he
curseth
the
earth
it
groweth
barren
and
brings
forth
nothing
but
bryars
thornes
and
thistles
;
he
curseth
the
celestial
orbs
and
the
meteors
of
the
ayre
and
presently
they
send
down
their
malignant
influences
;
and
so
he
curseth
the
creatures
living
in
their
severall
elements
,
and
presently
they
begin
to
mourne
,
lanquish
and
pine
away
.
Heare
this
O
sinners
and
tremble
,
if
for
the
sinne
of
man
,
the
innocent
creatures
be
subjected
to
a
curse
;
oh
then
how
heavy
a
curse
will
fall
upon
the
sinner
himselfe
.
Here
I
have
occasion
to
set
forth
the
horrid
curses
and
fearfull
evils
,
whereunto
poor
sinners
are
liable
;
but
I
must
not
now
dwell
on
this
part
of
Hosea
,
my
purpose
being
to
travaile
further
in
search
of
my
Text
.
The
next
Prophet
whereof
I
enquire
is
Joel
,
and
here
I
looke
on
his
writings
,
but
find
not
the
thing
enquired
for
,
but
yet
here
is
one
place
much
like
it
,
ye
may
see
it
,
Joel
,
1.15
.
Alas
for
the
day
,
for
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
,
and
as
a
destruction
from
the
Almighty
shall
it
come
.
Here
stay
and
look
a
while
,
't
is
worthy
a
cast
of
your
eye
,
what
see
you
here
?
but
tell
mee
your
visions
another
time
,
and
I
'le
tell
ye
mine
now
:
I
see
here
two
things
:
first
,
a
Prophet
,
and
he
is
in
a
passion
,
and
't
is
Passio
dolorosa
,
a
dolorous
passion
:
I
looke
againe
and
see
here
a
day
,
and
't
is
Dies
luctuosa
,
a
sorrowfull
day
,
which
is
the
cause
of
the
Prophets
passion
:
the
Prophet
here
appeareth
but
all
in
mourning
,
and
in
the
depth
of
his
sorrows
he
cryes
out
,
Alas
for
the
day
,
&c.
Why
,
what
is
the
matter
?
what
hath
hapned
?
Oh
beloved
!
the
Prophet
seeth
a
day
(
as
a
threatning
cloud
in
the
Ayre
)
a
certaine
day
,
but
't
is
a
gloomy
day
,
't
is
a
terrible
day
;
which
he
seeth
comming
upon
the
people
of
God
,
and
the
sight
or
the
vision
of
this
day
so
worketh
on
him
,
that
it
makes
him
cry
out
,
Alas
for
the
day
,
&c.
why
doth
he
cry
?
what
,
can
a
day
of
destruction
hurt
him
?
what
if
it
were
the
last
of
dayes
,
(
when
as
there
shal
be
a
generall
quaking
and
trembling
over
all
the
world
)
such
a
day
as
that
cannot
hurt
a
Saint
or
a
Prophet
,
such
an
one
as
Joel
was
;
what
then
makes
him
cry
so
passionatly
?
Oh!
't
is
not
for
himselfe
,
but
for
others
he
is
so
affected
;
as
ye
may
see
verse
16.17
,
18
,
19
,
20
,
&c.
the
people
of
God
are
in
danger
of
being
uttterly
destroyed
,
that
makes
him
cry
:
Whence
observe
,
Doct
.
Good
men
are
afraid
of
evill
dayes
for
others
sakes
:
so
Paul
seeing
an
evill
day
comming
toward
Ephesus
through
false
Teachers
,
which
should
arise
in
that
City
,
was
so
affected
,
that
he
went
weeping
and
crying
up
and
down
,
and
warning
every
one
night
and
day
with
teares
,
Act
20.21.30
.
And
so
Moses
seeing
an
evill
day
comming
on
Israel
,
stood
in
the
gap
with
prayers
and
teares
of
sorrow
,
to
keepe
out
that
evill
day
from
the
heritage
of
God
:
Oh
,
the
stupidnesse
of
those
that
are
not
affected
with
the
evils
comming
on
their
own
heads
,
when
as
Saints
are
so
affected
with
others
miseries
;
there
is
now
a
day
,
and
a
cloudy
day
comming
on
England
,
comming
on
London
the
glory
of
England
,
and
yet
there
be
full
many
that
lie
at
ease
in
this
our
Sion
,
never
crying
Alas
for
the
day
;
such
as
these
may
take
themselves
for
Angels
of
light
,
yet
they
come
short
of
the
likenesse
of
Saints
,
whose
nature
is
like
Joels
,
being
ready
upon
the
sight
of
an
evill
comming
towards
others
,
to
sigh
out
,
Alas
for
the
day
.
Alas
for
the
day
,
what
day
is
this
?
T
is
a
sad
day
,
't
is
a
cloudy
day
,
't
is
a
destroying
day
;
who
brings
in
this
day
,
Joel
tels
us
here
,
't
is
the
Lords
day
;
that
is
,
a
day
of
the
Lords
bringing
in
,
a
day
of
the
Lords
fetching
in
;
the
day
commeth
from
him
even
as
destruction
from
the
Almighty
,
whence
observe
,
Doct
.
God
hath
his
destroying
dayes
,
his
killing
times
.
There
be
certaine
dayes
,
wherein
God
useth
to
walke
abroad
and
destroy
people
,
to
ruine
people
,
to
kill
people
&
therfore
't
is
said
,
Eccl.
3.3
.
That
there
is
a
time
to
kill
;
God
hath
a
time
to
save
,
so
he
hath
also
his
times
of
killing
;
and
so
in
Pro
.
16.4
.
mention
is
made
of
a
day
of
evill
,
that
is
,
of
a
certaine
day
wherein
God
will
kill
an
evill
man
;
will
slay
a
wicked
man
;
however
sinners
and
wicked
ones
may
escape
for
a
season
,
yet
there
is
a
day
wherein
if
God
meeteth
them
in
the
way
of
wickednesse
,
they
are
gone
,
cut
up
and
destroyed
without
all
mercy
:
Astrologers
tels
us
of
good
dayes
,
and
of
evill
dayes
according
to
the
dominion
of
benevolent
or
malignant
Planets
;
so
God
hath
his
good
dayes
and
his
bad
dayes
,
not
respective
ad
se
,
but
relative
to
his
effects
,
and
influences
upon
us
mortall
creatures
;
but
you
will
say
,
which
are
those
bad
dayes
,
those
killing
dayes
of
God
,
that
wee
may
know
them
and
take
heed
of
them
to
avoid
them
.
I
'le
tell
ye
,
first
Negative
,
they
are
not
dayes
of
repentance
,
nor
dayes
of
purity
,
nor
dayes
of
righteousnes
,
&c.
no
:
no
:
these
are
none
of
these
killing
dayes
,
these
are
holy
dayes
,
blessing
dayes
,
wherein
God
casteth
his
favours
upon
the
souls
of
such
and
such
a
kind
of
men
.
The
Penetentiall
day
is
a
day
of
healing
,
a
day
of
curing
;
not
of
brusing
not
of
wounding
,
not
of
killing
,
Hos
.
6.1
.
So
the
pure
dayes
,
the
dayes
of
purity
;
they
are
dayes
of
visions
,
for
in
those
dayes
.
God
useth
to
walke
abroad
,
and
shew
himselfe
to
his
holy
ones
that
are
of
a
pure
heart
;
on
such
times
he
useth
to
come
out
of
his
secret
Pavilion
,
and
appeare
in
some
gracious
manner
,
in
some
irradiant
manner
,
to
his
people
,
(
as
Princes
to
their
Subjects
,
on
some
festivals
)
see
Mat
.
5.8
.
and
so
in
John
14.21
.
He
promiseth
to
the
keepers
of
his
Commandements
,
that
is
,
to
the
generation
of
pure
ones
,
to
manifest
himselfe
.
The
word
in
the
originall
is
,
{αβγδ}
which
signifieth
,
to
shine
upon
them
,
to
lift
up
the
light
of
his
countenance
upon
them
,
as
David
speakes
Ps.
4.6
.
That
day
is
not
a
day
of
harming
,
or
of
hurting
;
and
so
the
dayes
of
righteousnesse
,
they
are
not
the
dayes
of
killing
,
or
of
destroying
,
but
dayes
of
feasting
to
the
soule
,
wherein
God
feeds
the
spirits
of
godly
men
,
with
the
blessed
fruits
of
the
Trees
of
righteousnesse
,
Is.
3.10
.
Which
fruits
are
peace
of
conscience
,
joy
in
the
holy
Ghost
,
assurance
of
Gods
favours
;
and
these
fruits
are
farre
more
beauteous
,
more
amiable
,
and
more
to
be
desired
,
then
that
fruit
our
first
parents
so
much
longed
for
,
Gen.
3.6
.
But
now
to
tell
yee
affirmative
,
what
these
dayes
are
,
briefly
thus
,
these
destroying
dayes
,
these
killing
times
,
wherein
God
useth
to
come
forth
and
kill
,
to
walk
abroad
and
shoot
his
arrowes
of
death
,
to
draw
his
sword
and
cut
off
the
sonnes
of
men
from
the
Land
of
the
living
;
they
are
dayes
of
sinne
,
and
to
particularize
they
are
dayes
of
pride
,
on
such
a
day
I
well
remember
King
Herod
was
slaine
,
Act.
12.22
,
23.
And
dayes
of
murmuring
against
God
and
his
anointed
ones
,
and
on
such
a
day
Corah
,
Dathan
and
Abiram
perished
:
and
dayes
of
lying
against
the
holy
Ghost
,
for
on
such
a
day
Ananias
was
destroyed
:
Dayes
of
security
,
for
on
such
dayes
the
old
world
perished
,
&c.
since
then
,
there
be
such
dangerous
dayes
as
these
,
let
's
looke
to
our selves
,
and
not
stirre
abroad
in
such
dayes
,
in
such
stormy
and
tempestuous
dayes
,
least
we
be
blowne
into
confusion
.
T
is
,
true
there
may
be
such
dayes
and
yet
God
may
forbeare
to
come
forth
,
or
if
he
doth
come
forth
,
yet
he
may
(
in
his
great
mercy
)
forbeare
to
kill
every
sinner
he
meeteth
,
and
every
wicked
one
he
findeth
in
his
way
,
for
though
his
Justice
would
have
him
kill
all
that
he
seeth
,
of
the
evill
ones
on
such
a
day
;
yet
oft
mercy
&
long-suffering
doe
crave
so
hard
,
doe
beg
so
violently
,
that
many
a
time
the
wicked
are
spared
for
a
season
,
to
see
if
they
will
amend
,
if
they
will
repent
;
but
't
is
very
perilous
to
venture
on
such
a
hazard
;
for
those
are
his
killing
dayes
,
and
so
he
may
or
may
not
kill
;
the
wicked
have
no
promise
,
no
word
of
comfort
for
their
security
,
or
safety
:
there
may
be
Mors
in
pane
,
&c.
Death
may
lye
in
their
bread
,
or
in
their
meat
,
or
in
their
cloathes
,
or
in
their
walkes
,
or
in
their
chambers
,
or
in
their
beds
,
&c.
And
therfore
't
is
great
wisdome
to
prevent
the
worst
,
and
keepe
none
of
these
dayes
of
sin
,
but
rather
to
observe
and
keep
those
celestiall
holy
dayes
of
Repentance
,
those
sweet
holy
dayes
of
purity
,
those
blessed
holy
dayes
of
righteousnesse
:
and
then
though
God
killeth
hundreds
on
our
left
hand
,
or
thousands
on
our
right
hand
,
yet
he
will
give
his
Angels
charge
over
us
,
that
nothing
shall
come
neere
us
,
but
onely
such
things
as
shall
be
for
our
good
,
Rom.
8.28
.
Now
I
would
runne
a
little
further
on
this
place
of
Joel
,
but
I
must
away
I
have
staid
over
long
,
and
therefore
in
search
of
the
Text
I
come
to
the
next
Prophet
,
which
is
Amos
.
And
now
looking
about
here
,
in
the
writings
of
this
Prophet
,
I
find
not
the
Text
yee
looke
for
;
but
though
I
find
it
not
,
yet
here
is
a
place
that
hath
the
same
voice
,
and
speaks
in
a
menacing
manner
,
ye
may
heare
it
,
Amos
1.6
.
Thus
saith
the
Lord
,
for
three
transgressions
of
Gaza
,
&
for
foure
,
I
will
not
turne
away
the
punishment
thereof
because
they
carried
away
the
whole
captivity
to
deliver
them
up
to
Edom
.
This
place
is
worth
a
pause
for
the
observations
which
are
lying
in
it
,
here
it
is
said
by
God
himself
,
I
will
not
turn
away
the
punishment
;
it
seemeth
therefore
he
could
if
so
pleased
his
wisdome
,
Doct
.
Punshments
are
in
the
hands
of
God
.
As
rivers
may
be
altered
,
changed
&
turned
by
severall
inlets
and
outlets
by
the
hands
of
men
,
so
God
hath
a
turning
power
,
whereby
he
can
turne
mala
paenae
,
evils
of
punishments
,
and
cause
them
(
like
so
many
Rivers
or
streames
)
to
runne
where
he
pleaseth
;
sometimes
he
turneth
one
of
these
Rivers
through
Egipt
,
sometimes
he
causeth
one
to
streame
through
Babylon
,
sometimes
he
brings
these
Rivers
through
Greece
,
Hungary
,
Germany
,
or
makes
them
overflow
this
or
that
City
;
as
proud
Nineve
,
or
stately
Constantinople
,
(
when
ruined
by
the
Turkish
Conquerour
)
and
therefore
,
whensoever
yee
chance
to
be
in
a
Kingdome
,
or
in
a
City
of
any
Kingdome
,
and
see
one
of
these
Rivers
of
judgements
running
through
the
Kingdome
,
or
overflowing
the
wals
of
the
City
,
yee
may
say
there
is
Digitus
Dei
,
for
none
could
bring
the
waters
in
without
the
peculiar
warrant
and
licence
of
this
God
of
Justice
Amos
3.6
.
For
three
transgresions
,
&c.
I
will
not
turne
away
the
pnishment
therof
,
&c.
Here
again
ye
see
that
God
is
resolved
not
to
turne
away
the
judgements
,
they
are
comming
;
and
God
seeth
them
and
can
stop
them
,
but
will
not
,
decreeth
that
he
will
not
?
Why
will
he
not
save
Gaza
,
preserve
Gaza
,
and
keepe
off
those
evils
from
Gaza
?
Yee
see
the
reason
,
because
of
the
sinnes
of
Gaza
,
and
transgression
of
Gaza
,
Doct
.
Sinnes
are
the
cause
why
God
turneth
the
rivers
of
his
judgements
through
this
or
that
Land
,
this
or
that
other
Country
:
For
though
God
hath
streames
of
judgements
and
rivers
of
punishments
,
which
he
can
turne
this
or
that
other
way
.
Yet
he
keepes
these
waters
in
their
bounds
,
in
their
limits
,
and
suffers
them
not
to
passe
into
,
or
through
any
place
,
but
where
sinnes
and
transgressions
are
croaking
and
crying
,
and
where
iniquities
beare
sway
and
dominion
,
these
are
the
Operarij
,
or
the
Engineers
and
Workemen
,
that
makes
the
Channels
for
Gods
rivers
of
anger
,
and
streames
of
wrath
to
runne
in
;
God
hath
these
at
his
will
,
but
yet
never
doe
they
flow
from
the
maine
Ocean
of
his
fury
,
till
sinne
digges
and
makes
a
channell
,
a
bed
or
passage
for
them
to
flow
through
.
Oh!
that
these
Kingdomes
of
England
and
Ireland
,
had
not
had
so
many
of
these
workers
,
of
these
channell-makers
in
them
;
for
then
we
should
not
have
seene
so
many
rivers
of
blood
,
and
rivers
of
sorrowes
,
rivers
of
tribulation
,
as
our
eyes
have
lately
seene
in
an
overflowing
manner
,
streaming
through
these
sister
Kingdomes
.
Againe
in
this
place
of
Amos
,
you
see
Gods
anger
against
Gaza
,
but
particularly
for
their
cruelty
against
his
people
,
in
being
so
ready
to
deliver
them
up
to
the
Edomites
,
their
mortall
enemies
;
and
for
that
reason
amongst
others
,
if
the
judgements
will
come
they
shall
come
,
if
the
channell
be
made
,
and
the
water
of
his
wrath
begins
to
passe
out
of
the
Ocean
of
his
indignation
,
and
so
to
destroy
Gaza
,
he
will
not
hinder
,
because
of
the
barbarous
usage
of
his
children
:
No
,
he
hath
borne
long
with
Gaza
,
yet
now
he
is
resolved
to
suffer
Gaza
to
be
overthrowne
for
this
their
offence
,
Doct
.
God
is
a
foe
to
those
which
harme
his
people
:
&
therefore
he
is
a
foe
to
Turkey
,
for
the
wrongs
done
the
Christians
in
Asia
and
Europe
;
and
he
is
a
foe
to
Rome
,
for
the
harm
done
by
her
,
to
his
heritage
in
Germany
,
and
in
Ireland
;
and
though
they
escape
for
a
season
,
yet
not
for
ever
,
for
God
will
undoe
those
that
afflict
his
flocke
;
he
will
not
onely
lash
them
,
scourge
them
,
but
totally
undoe
them
,
as
't
is
said
Zeph
.
3.19
.
When
his
time
of
destruction
commeth
,
when
his
day
of
killing
commeth
,
oh
!
then
these
foes
of
God
are
undone
,
so
when
God
ariseth
in
his
anger
,
his
enemies
will
soone
be
scattered
:
he
will
roare
out
of
Syon
,
and
make
them
tremble
;
repentance
I
confesse
may
doe
wonders
,
and
stop
an
evill
,
chase
away
a
cloud
(
if
sound
if
seasonable
)
but
otherwise
without
all
contradiction
,
the
enemies
of
Gods
people
will
perish
:
and
though
for
a
time
,
they
afflict
Joseph
,
and
laugh
at
Josephs
afflictions
;
yet
but
a
little
while
,
and
there
will
a
noise
be
heard
,
founding
in
the
eares
of
the
foes
of
Gods
church
as
in
Nahum
1.3
.
The
Lord
revengeth
,
The
Lord
revengeth
;
and
such
a
thundering
from
the
Throne
of
his
heavy
displeasure
,
as
shall
make
their
hearts
melt
away
with
terrour
to
the
great
amazement
of
those
,
which
behold
the
wonders
that
God
doth
for
the
Saints
of
Syon
,
and
for
all
those
that
trust
in
his
holy
name
.
I
would
willingly
stay
with
this
Prophet
Amos
a
little
longer
,
but
the
desire
of
my
Text
urgeth
me
to
passe
unto
the
next
Prophet
in
search
of
it
,
and
that
is
Obadiah
.
Now
here
I
have
soone
cast
an
eye
over
all
his
prophesie
,
and
here
is
none
of
the
Text
,
but
a
place
that
hath
some
relation
to
it
,
for
't
is
full
of
threats
,
see
Obadiah
v.
4.
these
words
Though
than
exalt
thy selfe
as
the
Eagle
,
and
make
thy
nest
amongst
the
starres
,
thence
will
I
bring
thee
downe
,
saith
the
Lord
.
Though
thou
doest
thus
and
thus
exalt
thy self
,
yet
I
will
downe
with
thee
even
to
the
ground
:
there
observe
,
Doct
.
God
can
cast
downe
and
overturne
the
mightiest
things
;
for
indeed
there
is
in
him
a
fulnesse
of
power
,
an
omnipotency
of
doing
;
the
talest
Cedars
of
Lebanon
are
overturned
with
the
smallest
blast
of
his
anger
,
the
mightiest
trees
of
the
Forrest
of
this
world
,
are
rooted
up
with
a
pluck
of
his
power
;
he
that
reads
the
story
of
Daniel
,
will
find
what
a
vast
bodied
tree
,
or
what
an
overgrowne
oake
Nabuchadnezzar
was
;
and
yet
God
did
but
blow
upon
him
and
downe
he
fell
,
Dan
.
4.30
.
we
read
of
Senacharib
he
was
a
mighty
tree
in
the
Forrest
of
this
world
,
he
,
because
he
had
conquered
the
people
of
Amath
,
Arphad
and
Sepharvaim
,
therefore
thought
to
conquer
the
God
of
Ierusalem
with
his
chosen
people
;
but
worme
that
he
was
;
what
did
he
doe
?
No
sooner
began
he
to
blaspheme
the
God
of
Ierusalem
,
but
God
sent
(
and
that
but
one
of
his
Army
,
to
the
like
whereof
he
had
millions
of
millions
)
namely
,
one
Angell
,
and
immediately
the
Army
of
Senacahrib
was
destroyed
and
totally
routed
,
with
the
death
of
an
hundred
fourscore
and
five
thousand
,
Is.

Let
none
therefore
think
himself
safe
,
by
reason
of
any
Arme
of
flesh
which
doth
support
him
,
or
because
he
sits
under
the
spreading
bowes
of
some
mighty
tree
,
for
these
cannot
save
him
from
the
power
of
the
storme
when
once
it
begins
to
bluster
;
the
sacred
tree
of
Gods
providence
may
and
can
shelter
a
man
,
but
all
the
trees
in
the
world
besides
cannot
secure
us
.
Againe
,
once
more
looke
on
these
words
,
and
here
yee
may
see
in
what
a
case
Edom
stood
;
Edom
thought
his
selfe
safe
,
and
as
safe
as
if
his
habitation
had
been
placed
above
in
the
ayre
,
as
high
,
as
the
Eagle
flieth
,
or
amongst
the
starres
,
whereunto
the
short
hand
of
mortals
could
never
reach
;
and
therefore
blessed
himselfe
in
his
present
fortunes
and
prosperous
security
,
never
thinking
of
the
power
of
the
immortall
God
,
who
all
this
while
lay
in
silence
,
secretly
preparing
engins
to
fetch
downe
Edom
,
and
to
pluck
downe
Edom
from
his
lofty
habitation
of
promising
security
,
Doct
.
men
oft
flatter
themselves
with
hopes
of
happinesse
,
when
the
greatest
dangers
are
at
hand
:
We
find
the
truth
of
this
by
daily
experiment
;
we
of
Ireland
were
crying
peace
,
peace
,
when
destruction
was
at
our
heeles
,
and
ruine
hovering
over
our
heads
:
we
read
of
the
people
of
the
old
world
,
how
they
were
feasting
and
merry
,
marrying
and
giving
in
marriage
,
little
dreaming
of
any
flood
,
of
any
deluge
;
whilest
God
in
the
meane
time
was
very
busie
in
devising
their
ruine
,
and
to
that
purpose
had
imployed
severall
agents
;
some
were
set
at
worke
in
the
sea
to
convey
the
waters
over
the
face
of
the
earth
,
whilest
others
were
as
busie
amongst
the
clouds
,
and
in
opening
the
windowes
of
Heaven
,
that
the
waters
might
overflow
the
world
:
yee
that
heare
this
,
consider
and
make
an
application
to
your selves
,
and
spare
me
in
that
worke
,
having
now
a
motion
to
passe
on
further
in
search
of
what
you
desire
to
behold
.
The
next
prophesie
I
meet
withall
,
is
that
of
the
Prophet
Ionah
,
and
he
is
soone
overviewed
;
but
yet
in
all
Ionah
the
Text
appeareth
not
;
yet
here
is
a
verse
that
doth
in
some
part
resemble
that
which
we
enquire
after
,
for
here
is
a
mention
of
wickednesse
,
and
an
intimation
of
Gods
displeasure
against
it
,
appearing
in
this
,
That
God
sendeth
Jonah
to
cry
against
the
City
,
for
the
wickednesse
thereof
;
yee
may
see
the
verse
Ionah
1.2
.
the
words
of
the
verse
are
these
;
Arise
goe
to
Ninive
that
great
City
,
and
cry
against
it
for
their
wickednesse
is
come
up
before
me
.
Here
see
a
wonder
,
wickednesse
goeth
into
Gods
presence
,
we
would
not
have
imagined
that
God
would
admit
of
such
a
thing
;
such
a
Serpent
,
such
a
Toade
to
come
into
his
sight
;
indeed
purity
admits
it
not
,
but
abhorres
the
sight
of
it
,
yet
Gods
Justice
admits
it
into
his
presence
and
suffers
it
,
as
he
doth
the
devils
to
come
into
his
courts
of
Judgements
,
to
heare
their
accusations
and
complaints
against
sinners
:
but
beholds
them
both
,
no
otherwise
then
with
the
eyes
of
detestation
;
this
they
know
,
yet
such
is
their
envy
and
malice
against
poore
men
,
that
they
will
rush
into
these
courts
of
God
,
to
accuse
and
calumniate
.
Come
here
,
come
here
ye
sinners
of
the
world
,
and
see
your
folly
,
your
wickednesse
;
yee
nourish
wickednesse
,
yee
feede
wickednesse
,
and
lodge
it
in
your
bosomes
;
yee
thinke
it
a
faire
creature
,
and
a
pretty
friend
,
but
see
her
actions
;
she
betrayeth
you
to
the
court
of
Justice
,
tels
all
before
the
terrible
Judge
of
the
soules
of
men
;
and
is
still
yellowing
and
howling
for
judgments
and
executions
against
yee
,
longing
to
see
your
ruine
;
which
your
gracious
God
is
loath
to
behold
(
as
formerly
he
was
unwilling
to
see
the
perdition
of
Ninive
)
and
therefore
sent
his
Prophet
to
cry
against
it
,
as
here
it
is
declared
;
Arise
,
goe
to
Ninive
and
cry
against
it
:
what
was
he
to
cry
?
destruction
,
subversion
,
(
and
that
subitaneous
)
for
within
forty
dayes
,
it
was
to
come
upon
them
;
Yet
forty
dayes
and
Ninive
shall
be
subverted
,
Ion
.
3.4
.
Ninive
was
then
to
be
overthrowne
;
yet
God
will
give
the
Ninivites
forty
dayes
space
of
repentance
:
Doct
.
God
warns
before
he
wounds
;
he
useth
to
give
notice
of
his
comming
in
judgement
;
but
in
mercy
God
seizeth
upon
a
soule
,
surprizeth
it
in
the
armes
of
love
before
it
is
aware
,
and
whilest
it
thinks
not
of
him
,
Isaiah
65.1
.
but
giveth
warning
of
the
comming
of
his
wrath
,
that
people
may
runne
from
the
wrath
that
is
to
come
:
Oh
happy
we
in
such
a
God!
if
we
knew
our
owne
happinesse
;
for
before
he
sends
evils
to
devoure
us
for
our
wickednesse
,
he
sends
some
or
other
to
cry
against
our
wickednesse
,
as
here
against
Ninive
.
I
could
shew
yee
more
things
in
this
glasse
,
but
I
must
away
to
behold
the
prophesie
of
the
Prophet
Micah
.
In
this
booke
,
I
find
;
what
?
not
the
Text
;
but
yet
I
find
a
place
that
hath
a
correspondency
with
it
,
you
may
see
it
Micah
3.12
.
the
words
are
these
,
Therefore
shall
Sion
for
your
sake
be
plowed
as
a
field
,
and
Ierusalem
shall
become
heapes
,
and
the
mountaine
of
the
house
as
the
high
places
of
the
Forrest
.
What
is
this
I
heare
of
Sion
and
of
Ierusalem
,
why
!
't
is
reported
that
Sion
must
be
plowed
and
that
Ierusalem
must
be
turned
into
heapes
,
that
is
,
in
a
more
plain
and
naked
expression
,
Sion
must
be
ruined
and
Ierusalem
be
destroyed
;
and
yet
these
were
the
beloved
habitations
of
the
God
of
Iudah
:
hence
,
Doct
.
God
sometimes
visiteth
his
owne
habitation
with
judgements
.
This
Isaiah
well
knew
,
and
therefore
in
a
sorrowing
manner
he
cryed
,
Woe
to
Ariel
,
to
Ariel
,
the
City
where
David
dwelt
,
Is.
29.1
.
This
Antioch
,
Corinth
,
Ephesus
,
&c.
(
sometimes
glorious
Churches
,
now
dens
of
Turkish
Lyons
)
have
experimentally
proved
;
and
many
hundreds
of
Church-assemblies
in
Ireland
with
weeping
eyes
can
confirme
this
truth
;
and
I
pray
God
,
that
ere
long
England
be
not
brought
in
for
a
witnesse
.
At
this
instaint
we
have
Templa
Domini
,
templa
Domini
,
Churches
for
God
to
dwell
in
:
but
how
long
he
will
stay
amongst
us
,
how
long
he
will
be
worshipped
by
us
in
these
Temples
,
who
can
tell
?
for
he
is
not
tied
to
materiall
Churches
,
be
they
never
so
beauteous
,
he
is
not
taken
with
the
beauty
of
them
,
nor
will
he
shew
himselfe
in
them
to
his
people
,
unlesse
they
themselves
be
beauteous
in
the
beauty
of
holinesse
:
if
a
Temple
or
the
outward
forme
of
worship
in
that
Temple
,
would
have
prevailed
to
have
held
God
,
with
his
favouring
influences
in
a
Land
,
then
had
this
threatning
never
had
a
being
,
and
we
should
not
have
beene
reading
this
day
,
that
Sion
shall
be
plowed
,
and
Ierusalem
be
made
heapes
.
Alas
!
what
is
the
reason
?
Why
yee
heare
that
it
is
for
the
peoples
sake
,
something
they
had
done
which
angred
God
so
much
,
that
therefore
Sion
must
be
plowed
,
&c.
What
did
they
doe
?
yee
may
read
of
their
doings
in
the
9.10
.
and
11.
verses
;
there
yee
may
read
how
the
Princes
.
Counsellours
of
state
,
and
Judges
of
the
Land
were
covetous
,
abhorred
Judgement
,
perverted
Equity
,
and
built
up
Sion
in
blood
,
and
Ierusalem
in
iniquity
;
Priests
and
Prophets
joyning
with
them
for
some
sinister
ends
of
their
owne
,
as
for
money
,
and
preferment
,
and
such
like
things
;
but
God
hereby
the
Prophet
sends
them
word
,
that
their
devices
are
vaine
,
their
projects
foolish
,
their
designes
and
doings
wicked
,
and
therefore
they
shall
come
to
ruine
;
they
may
be
building
and
building
,
rearing
and
rearing
the
wals
of
Jerusalem
,
but
because
they
build
in
blood
,
because
they
build
in
iniquity
,
therefore
all
shall
tumble
downe
againe
;
hence
Doct
.
It
is
an
unprofitable
thing
to
build
upon
an
ill
foundation
.
The
Jewes
here
you
see
were
building
up
Sion
,
but
they
did
build
it
on
an
ill
foundation
;
they
laid
the
foundation
of
it
in
sinne
,
in
iniquity
,
in
oppression
,
in
covetousnesse
,
in
lying
,
in
cruelty
,
in
blood
(
the
worst
lime
and
stone
that
ever
man
can
build
withall
)
and
what
is
the
end
of
it
?
it
wil
tumble
downe
upon
their
owne
heads
,
and
kill
the
very
builders
of
it
.
So
Rome
buildeth
up
many
churches
(
as
in
the
East
and
west
Indies
)
but
they
will
never
stand
long
,
because
the
foundation
of
them
is
laid
upon
lying
miracles
,
false
doctrines
,
covetousnesse
and
blood
(
many
hundreds
,
many
thousands
of
those
poore
Indians
being
wilfully
murthered
by
the
Spaniards
,
Romes
Admirers
.
)
So
Mahomet
,
he
plants
Churches
in
the
Levante
(
Churches
after
his
owne
humour
)
but
the
foundation
of
them
is
blasphemy
,
blood
(
and
that
the
blood
of
many
thousands
of
holy
Martyrs
)
these
Churches
may
stand
for
a
while
,
but
ere
long
they
will
totter
.
for
the
gates
of
hell
will
prevaile
against
them
;
God
abhorreth
them
and
all
such
buildings
,
with
their
builders
;
and
therefore
pray
we
,
that
our
builders
and
planters
,
may
labour
to
reare
up
the
wals
of
our
Sion
,
in
truth
in
meeknes
,
in
equity
,
in
mercy
,
in
compassion
,
&c.
If
thus
they
goe
about
,
the
workes
and
buildings
of
God
,
then
Christ
the
corner
stone
,
and
foundation
of
all
foundations
,
will
prosper
their
handy
workes
.
Beloved
,
I
have
some
small
skill
in
Atchitecture
,
(
for
it
is
my
trade
;
)
and
therefore
I
would
willingly
say
some
more
things
unto
you
,
touching
the
building
,
rearing
,
or
supporting
of
our
English
Sion
;
but
truth
it
is
,
I
cannot
now
doe
it
,
for
I
must
hence
to
visit
Nahum
,
and
enquire
of
him
for
my
Text
.
Upon
Nahum
I
looke
,
but
this
prophesie
conteineth
not
that
place
,
yet
here
is
one
place
of
great
affinity
with
it
,
yee
may
read
it
,
Nahum
1.8
.
But
with
an
over-running
flood
,
he
will
make
an
utter
end
of
the
place
thereof
,
and
darkenesse
shall
pursue
his
enemies
.
He
tels
us
here
two
things
;
first
,
what
he
will
doe
with
Ninive
,
secondly
,
what
he
will
doe
with
the
people
of
Ninive
.
As
for
Ninive
he
will
destroy
it
,
An
over-running
flood
shall
come
upon
the
place
thereof
,
upon
the
very
place
where
Ninive
is
seated
or
scituated
;
what
will
he
destroy
Ninive
,
that
mighty
City
?
yes
!
it
must
be
destroyed
,
how
?
with
a
flood
,
with
an
over-running
flood
,
that
shall
flow
over
the
wals
thereof
;
a
flood
of
subversion
,
here
see
Doct
.
Gods
judgements
can
enter
the
strongest
holds
)
Witnesse
towring
Babylon
,
whose
wals
were
once
the
wonder
of
the
world
:
and
populous
No
,
Na
.
3.8
.
And
here
proud
Ninive
,
all
now
lye
under
water
,
being
overflowed
by
the
water
of
desolation
:
Hence
may
we
see
what
folly
it
is
to
trust
in
strong
places
,
or
to
place
confidence
in
wals
,
bulworkes
,
fortifications
or
deep
watertrenches
,
for
they
cannot
keepe
out
Gods
judgements
;
were
a
Kingdome
surrounded
with
the
sea
as
populous
No
,
or
encompassed
with
hils
and
mountaines
,
equall
to
the
Alps
,
Atlas
,
or
lofty
Caucasus
,
or
encircled
with
bulworkes
of
iron
,
or
wals
of
brasse
,
reaching
up
to
the
very
clouds
,
yet
judgement
will
passe
through
,
or
runne
over
all
,
if
God
but
give
them
a
commission
;
if
God
but
once
bid
them
goe
and
enter
,
goe
and
destroy
such
a
City
,
such
a
Kingdome
,
it
is
suddenly
done
,
if
he
require
such
a
sudden
expedition
.
What
safety
for
us
then
here
on
earth
?
Yes
,
there
is
some
kind
of
wals
;
some
kind
of
trenches
that
are
of
notable
strength
for
keeping
out
of
evils
;
these
are
the
wals
of
righteousnesse
,
and
trenches
filled
with
penetentiall
waters
;
these
will
be
a
defence
when
Cities
,
like
those
of
Canaan
,
will
fall
downe
and
crumble
into
dust
.
Oh!
that
our
England
were
encompassed
with
such
like
wals
,
and
instead
of
the
Ocean
,
were
surrounded
with
a
river
of
penetentiall
waters
,
streaming
from
humbled
soules
;
then
might
England
enjoy
the
presence
of
God
in
mercy
,
whereas
now
God
appeareth
here
in
England
,
all
clad
in
fury
and
indignation
.
Againe
,
as
you
see
the
threatned
ruine
of
Ninive
,
so
here
behold
the
tragedy
of
the
Inhabitants
;
what
shall
become
of
them
?
It
is
told
us
,
that
darknesse
shall
pursue
them
;
what
darkenesse
?
darknesse
of
affliction
,
and
if
that
bring
them
not
back
(
as
it
did
David
,
Ps.
119.67
.
)
then
followeth
darkenesse
of
judgement
in
this
or
that
degree
;
so
that
they
fall
upon
the
beliefe
of
lies
and
false
delusions
,
2
Thes
.
2.9
,
10.
And
after
these
follow
darkenesse
of
death
;
and
last
of
all
the
darknesse
of
damnation
,
plagues
enough
,
evils
enough
to
fright
men
from
fighting
against
God
;
heare
this
yee
sinners
,
and
reconcile
your selves
unto
your
God
;
heare
this
yee
sonnes
of
rebellion
,
and
reconcile
your selves
unto
your
King
,
even
unto
your
gracious
King
Jesus
,
God
blessed
for
ever
;
but
if
you
doe
not
doe
this
,
then
Actum
est
de
vobis
,
yee
are
an
undone
people
;
for
ere
long
,
God
will
send
one
of
his
Armies
against
you
,
even
this
here
called
by
the
name
or
darknesse
;
somewhat
more
for
illustration
sake
,
I
would
have
said
of
this
darknesse
,
of
this
pursuing
darknesse
,
to
have
shewed
yee
the
horridnesse
of
it
,
but
I
am
in
pursuit
of
another
thing
,
and
therefore
at
present
I
am
urged
to
leave
Nahum
and
passe
over
hence
to
the
prophesie
or
Habacuck
.
This
prophesie
like
some
of
the
rest
is
very
short
and
soone
overlooked
,
but
without
effect
in
respect
of
the
text
:
for
here
likewise
it
is
not
found
,
but
here
is
a
part
of
the
prophesie
that
appeareth
in
a
menacing
forme
,
correspondently
to
the
place
I
enquire
for
,
read
it
Hah
.
2.8
.
Because
thou
hast
spoiled
many
Nations
,
all
the
remnant
of
the
people
shall
spoile
thee
,
because
of
mens
blood
,
and
for
the
violence
of
the
Land
,
of
the
City
,
and
of
all
that
dwell
therein
.
Here
is
a
burden
for
Caldea
,
a
destruction
for
Caldea
,
for
it
must
be
destroyed
and
spoiled
,
but
why
must
Caldea
be
spoiled
?
the
reason
is
given
,
because
Caldea
hath
spoiled
many
Nations
by
pillaging
their
goods
,
ruining
and
burning
their
Cities
,
murdering
the
inhabitants
;
and
therefore
now
Caldea
is
cited
before
God
,
censured
,
condemned
to
ruine
,
rapine
,
spoile
by
a
Law
called
lex
talionis
:
hence
,
Doct
.
(
Spoilers
must
be
spoiled
)
this
is
not
alwayes
done
de
subito
at
an
instant
,
but
God
tarieth
a
season
,
but
at
length
will
come
;
and
though
sero
yet
serio
,
if
not
this
way
,
or
that
way
,
yet
he
findeth
some
other
way
to
destroy
them
;
so
that
the
murtherer
shall
be
destroyed
,
the
cruell
one
destroyed
,
they
which
love
blood
shall
tast
of
blood
,
if
not
here
yet
hereafter
;
they
shall
have
ful
bowls
of
blood
of
wrath
powred
down
their
soules
,
so
the
oppressour
,
the
pillager
,
the
plundrer
,
shall
here
of
his
doings
to
his
owne
terrour
.
Object
.
Why
may
not
one
kill
,
spoile
,
destroy
,
pillage
,
plunder
?
&c.
Answ
.
Yes
,
where
men
have
Gods
warrant
for
it
;
Gods
commission
for
it
:
the
Iewes
spoyled
,
pillaged
,
and
plundered
,
the
pleasant
Land
of
Canaan
;
and
staid
not
there
,
but
killed
and
slayed
the
people
,
men
,
women
and
children
,
even
the
very
beasts
of
the
Land
;
and
they
did
well
in
it
,
they
had
Gods
command
for
it
,
and
therefore
properly
could
not
be
called
murderers
,
pillagers
,
spoylers
,
&c
but
rather
justicers
,
executioners
,
of
the
will
of
God
.
Mercy
in
such
a
case
had
beene
as
bad
as
cruelty
,
pitty
had
beene
equall
to
murder
in
some
degree
:
you
see
that
Saul
spared
,
when
God
commanded
to
kill
;
and
what
did
God
thinke
of
him
for
it
?
he
called
it
disobedience
,
and
counted
it
as
a
sinne
of
witchcraft
,
(
1
Sam
.
15.3
,
9
,
10
,
11.
and
so
to
the
24.
so
in
all
such
cases
,
when
we
have
commission
from
heaven
,
to
ruine
or
destroy
this
or
that
person
,
this
or
that
City
,
this
or
that
Kingdome
,
then
we
are
bound
upon
paine
of
damnation
to
kill
and
slay
(
without
pitty
or
compassion
)
man
,
woman
,
child
,
father
,
mother
,
wife
,
brother
,
any
one
,
every
one
,
&c.
(
if
the
commission
cometh
forth
in
such
a
forme
.
)
But
if
wee
goe
,
without
commission
,
or
without
a
sure
warrant
from
Gods
Word
,
then
is
our
killing
murdering
,
our
pillaging
stealing
,
and
he
will
send
after
us
,
such
as
shall
spoile
and
pillage
us
;
first
of
our
goods
,
after
that
of
our
lives
,
and
last
of
all
of
our
soules
,
unlesse
we
returne
from
such
doings
with
teares
of
repentance
before
the
decree
commeth
forth
:
I
could
most
willingly
here
propound
and
resolve
some
questions
touching
this
point
,
but
the
desire
to
comply
with
my
present
intentions
,
forceth
me
from
hence
to
the
Prophet
Zephan
ah
.
I
here
behold
Zephaniah
,
and
see
him
passionate
in
his
expression
of
Gods
wrath
against
sinners
and
ungodly
ones
:
but
yet
in
no
part
of
that
prophesie
doth
that
lodge
which
I
seeke
,
but
yet
here
is
somewhat
of
the
fame
nature
,
see
it
Zephaniah
1.2
.
(
I
will
utterly
consume
all
things
from
off
the
Land
saith
the
Lord
)
God
here
saith
God
here
faith
that
he
wil
consume
,
not
some
things
only
,
but
all
things
of
the
Land
of
Judah
,
and
if
he
will
doe
it
,
if
he
hath
a
mind
a
purpose
to
doe
it
,
I
am
sure
he
can
doe
it
;
for
the
Psalmist
telleth
us
Ps.
115.3
.
Our
God
is
in
heaven
,
he
hath
done
whatsoever
he
pleaseth
:
hence
Doct
.
God
hath
a
consuming
power
)
he
that
reads
and
beleeves
the
Scripture
,
cannot
doubt
of
this
proposition
;
for
as
there
is
in
God
a
creating
power
,
a
supporting
power
,
so
also
is
there
a
consuming
power
,
and
a
destroying
power
:
and
when
he
hath
a
will
to
consume
he
can
doe
it
,
and
most
easily
he
can
doe
it
,
even
with
the
shaking
of
his
hand
,
with
a
blast
of
his
breath
,
with
a
call
for
the
spirits
of
vengeance
;
a
shaking
of
his
hand
over
a
Nation
undoeth
it
:
so
we
read
Zach.
2.9
.
I
will
shake
my
hand
upon
them
,
and
they
shall
be
a
spoile
to
their
servants
.
They
that
are
mighty
on
earth
,
Rulers
,
Commanders
over
others
subjected
to
them
in
vassaladge
,
these
on
a
sudden
,
upon
the
shaking
of
Gods
hand
over
their
heads
,
fall
downe
and
become
a
spoile
to
their
vassals
,
slaves
and
captives
;
so
he
can
doe
with
a
blast
,
great
power
is
in
the
breath
of
the
Lord
,
he
did
but
breath
and
out
of
nothing
came
a
world
;
he
did
but
breath
,
and
man
was
in
an
instant
framed
out
of
the
earth
;
he
did
but
breath
,
and
in
a
moment
a
soule
issued
out
of
nothing
into
that
forme
of
earth
;
he
doth
but
breath
,
and
blessings
(
like
Aprill
showres
)
fall
from
the
clouds
of
his
mercies
;
but
then
onely
thus
it
is
,
when
he
breatheth
in
love
:
but
when
he
looketh
on
creatures
in
anger
,
and
breatheth
on
them
in
displeasure
,
then
death
and
destruction
is
in
his
breath
;
then
he
blasteth
,
when
he
bloweth
;
Haggai
tels
us
,
that
the
people
of
Israel
looked
for
much
and
it
came
to
little
,
they
looked
for
great
encrease
of
fruits
,
and
they
came
almost
to
nothing
;
what
was
the
cause
?
it
was
Gods
blasting
of
the
fruits
,
he
did
but
blow
,
and
they
were
blasted
and
blowne
cleare
away
,
Haggai
1.9
.
he
can
soone
blow
a
creature
into
a
consumption
,
into
ruine
,
into
death
,
yea
and
into
hell
it selfe
.
Againe
,
it
is
easie
with
God
to
consume
all
creatures
that
are
upon
the
face
of
a
Land
,
or
upon
the
face
of
a
Kingdome
,
because
at
his
call
,
all
the
spirits
of
vengeance
come
with
all
readinesse
to
execute
his
commands
.
't
is
said
in
Zach.
10.8
.
That
he
will
hisse
for
his
people
,
and
so
they
shall
be
gathered
;
so
he
may
but
hisse
for
the
destroying
creatures
,
and
they
will
come
,
such
as
Froggs
,
Locusts
,
Caterpillers
,
Haile
,
Snow
,
Frost
,
Mists
,
Foggs
,
Raine
,
Warre
,
Plague
,
Famine
,
Diseases
,
Windes
,
Stormes
,
Earth-quakes
,
Lightnings
,
Thunder
,
Fire
and
Brimstone
,
Good
and
evill
Angels
,
and
all
standing
in
a
moment
before
him
,
saying
,
what
shall
we
doe
?
whom
shall
we
destroy
?
what
Nation
shall
we
ruine
?
what
Kingdome
shall
we
devoure
?
these
are
the
spirits
,
these
are
the
Guests
which
the
Lord
oft
biddeth
to
a
feast
of
his
wrath
;
and
they
are
strange
guests
,
they
have
hungry
stomackes
,
devouring
stomackes
:
Once
God
set
before
some
of
these
a
City
,
a
great
and
faire
City
,
and
all
on
a
sudden
it
was
devoured
;
it
was
no
lesse
a
City
then
Babylon
.
Another
time
he
set
before
these
Harpies
,
or
these
Ostriches
,
a
whole
Kingdome
and
they
devoured
it
;
it
was
the
pleasant
Kingdom
of
Egypt
;
and
now
lately
,
God
being
in
Ireland
and
there
walking
up
and
downe
,
and
seeing
the
sinnes
of
the
Land
,
and
the
ripenesse
of
them
,
waxeth
angry
;
and
on
a
sudden
hisseth
for
some
of
these
hungry
Spirits
,
and
suddenly
they
came
and
devoured
up
most
of
all
the
Protestants
of
that
Land
,
and
spoiled
the
forme
and
beauty
of
the
whole
Kingdome
,
within
two
or
three
dayes
.
So
God
being
in
England
,
and
looking
about
,
observing
and
seeing
,
that
sinnes
like
Grashoppers
were
skipping
up
and
downe
in
every
place
,
or
like
Froggs
croaking
in
every
ditch
;
at
the
sight
fell
into
a
passion
of
wrath
and
hissed
,
and
at
his
hisse
there
came
one
of
these
Spirits
,
viz.
Warre
;
and
hath
spoiled
our
Kingdome
,
and
falling
upon
the
inhabitants
,
hath
fed
on
their
flesh
,
and
caroused
in
full
bowles
of
their
blood
;
and
where
it
did
least
harme
,
it
gnawed
,
if
not
devoured
the
estates
of
the
most
part
of
the
surviving
people
:
But
what
tell
I
you
of
a
City
,
or
of
a
Kingdome
;
why
amongst
these
creatures
,
there
are
some
that
can
devoure
or
ruine
a
world
in
a
very
short
season
,
as
ye
have
heard
was
done
in
the
dayes
of
Noah
by
Raine
.
Henceforth
I
shall
not
wonder
to
heare
it
said
that
God
hath
a
consuming
power
,
whereby
he
is
able
to
consume
all
things
as
here
is
said
,
I
will
consume
all
things
from
off
the
Land
.
&c.
All
things
,
what
!
must
all
goe
?
must
all
perish
?
the
People
of
the
Land
,
the
Beasts
of
the
Land
,
the
Fruits
of
the
Land
,
&c.
Yes
,
all
must
goe
,
all
must
be
consumed
,
for
so
it
is
said
,
I
will
consume
all
,
&c.
Then
hence
,
(
Doct
.
All
creatures
are
subject
to
a
consumption
;
)
{αβγδ}
here
is
an
evill
,
and
horrid
evill
;
a
disease
and
a
consuming
disease
,
like
scabies
volatica
,
it
runneth
up
and
downe
upon
all
the
creatures
of
the
world
,
as
on
the
Heauen
,
the
Earth
,
the
Men
,
the
Beast
,
the
Fowles
,
the
Fish
,
&c.
they
are
all
subject
to
this
disease
,
to
this
consumption
,
Zach.
1.3
.
But
since
it
is
a
disease
,
so
spreading
,
so
common
,
so
universall
;
't
is
our
wisdome
to
labour
to
prevent
this
consumption
,
(
if
possible
we
may
)
or
at
least
procure
some
Elixirs
that
may
cure
us
,
(
if
we
find
it
be
once
on
us
)
and
nothing
can
doe
the
cure
but
grace
;
a
few
graines
,
nay
,
one
graine
of
saving
grace
will
cure
out
bodies
and
soules
;
though
it
be
true
the
body
will
be
long
a
curing
,
viz.
till
the
day
of
doome
,
yet
it
will
doe
the
deed
;
this
medicine
of
grace
,
will
at
length
perfectly
cure
the
body
,
and
cause
it
to
rise
out
of
Ashes
,
out
of
Dust
,
out
of
Atomes
into
a
most
glorious
body
againe
,
fit
for
the
glorified
soule
to
lodge
in
for
all
Eternity
;
Happy
are
those
which
have
some
few
grains
of
this
most
precious
Elixir
;
I
might
here
more
fully
set
forth
before
you
the
nature
of
this
disease
,
of
this
consumption
,
but
time
alloweth
me
not
,
and
therefore
I
'le
hence
to
Haggai
.
Haggai
is
the
next
Prophet
,
but
yet
for
any
thing
I
see
,
here
is
not
the
object
of
my
inquisition
,
but
here
is
that
which
is
not
much
unlike
it
,
see
it
Haggai
2.23
.
I
will
overthrow
the
throne
of
Kingdomes
,
and
I
will
destroy
the
strength
of
the
Kingdomes
of
the
heathen
,
and
I
will
overthrow
the
Charets
,
and
those
that
ride
in
them
,
and
the
Horse
and
the
Rider
shall
come
downe
every
one
by
the
sword
of
his
brother
.
Here
in
this
verse
,
God
threatneth
to
overthrow
and
to
destroy
the
Kingdoms
&
the
strength
of
the
Heathens
;
here
he
decreeth
to
bring
in
judgements
upon
them
;
and
what
judgements
?
destroying
judgements
,
so
that
they
shall
fall
one
upon
another
;
not
onely
one
Nation
upon
another
nation
,
one
Kingdome
upon
another
Kingdome
;
but
those
of
the
same
Nation
,
of
the
same
Kingdome
,
should
arise
one
against
the
other
,
brother
against
brother
,
and
sheath
their
swords
in
one
the
others
bowels
:
this
was
the
curse
,
this
the
destruction
,
that
God
would
send
amongst
the
Heathens
;
what
is
this
?
God
is
angry
with
the
Heathens
;
and
see
his
way
of
punishing
,
he
will
destroy
them
:
and
how
?
by
infatuating
of
them
in
such
a
manner
,
That
brother
should
rise
against
brother
,
brother
kill
brother
;
this
is
the
Heathens
judgement
;
ah
me
!
is
it
not
thus
now
even
now
in
England
;
doth
God
take
England
to
be
a
Heathen
Land
,
and
the
Inhabitants
to
be
Heathens
?
that
we
are
punished
after
the
way
of
Heathens
;
that
we
are
so
besotted
,
so
infatuated
in
our
understandings
,
that
we
must
rise
up
and
kill
one
another
,
murther
one
the
other
,
embrew
one
the
others
hands
in
blood
of
our
brethren
,
after
the
manner
of
the
Heathens
;
whence
commeth
this
evill
amongst
us
?
surely
we
have
communicated
with
Heathens
in
sinnes
,
or
else
we
should
never
participate
with
them
in
judgements
,
according
to
that
in
Reve
.
18.4
.
And
what
a
shame
is
this
for
England
,
where
the
Gospell
hath
shined
so
gloriously
,
to
be
taken
with
such
like
sinnes
as
the
Heathens
(
which
sate
in
darknesse
)
have
committed
.
Againe
,
here
see
Gods
severity
:
the
Kingdomes
are
to
be
destroyed
;
what
Kingdomes
?
the
mighty
Kingdomes
of
the
Heathens
?
Alas
,
alas
,
the
Heathens
they
are
ignorant
,
they
might
say
,
Domine
non
novimus
te
,
&c.
Lord
,
we
know
thee
not
,
nor
thy
Lawes
,
nor
thy
will
;
we
have
no
Seers
,
no
Prophets
,
no
lights
,
no
visions
,
no
revelations
amongst
us
?
why
then
wilt
thou
be
angry
with
us
,
ignorant
and
blinded
creatures
;
thus
and
thus
might
they
have
pleaded
their
excuse
before
God
;
but
suppose
they
had
,
yet
had
it
beene
in
vaine
,
the
plea
had
not
beene
good
in
curia
Coeli
,
for
it
was
decreed
that
judgements
should
come
upon
them
,
though
Heathens
:
whence
Doct
.
The
plea
of
ignorance
is
not
sufficient
to
excuse
a
people
before
God
.
)
The
plea
of
ignorance
will
not
excuse
ill
deedes
,
ungodly
deeds
,
the
most
that
it
can
doe
is
but
to
excuse
a
Tanto
,
but
it
doth
not
excuse
a
Toto
:
some
stripes
are
due
to
the
ignorant
Luke
12.48
.
Tyre
and
Sydon
may
doe
better
then
Corazan
and
Bethsaida
;
but
still
though
they
sate
(
in
tenebrie
)
in
darknesse
of
ignorance
,
yet
a
woe
will
fall
on
them
,
Mat
.
11.21.22
.
If
God
dealeth
thus
with
Heathens
,
and
those
which
know
not
his
Lawes
;
Oh!
then
what
heavy
judgements
will
fall
on
their
heads
,
that
have
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
,
the
Gospell
and
the
Apostles
daily
set
before
them
,
as
we
of
England
have
:
Here
I
should
distinguish
of
ignorance
vincibilis
&
invincibilis
,
of
ignorantia
purae
negationis
&
pravae
dispositionis
,
and
so
shew
you
what
kind
of
ignorance
(
and
in
what
cases
)
ignorance
is
excusable
,
and
how
farre
excusable
,
but
the
time
hasteth
and
so
must
I
,
or
misse
of
what
I
aime
at
,
and
therefore
hence
I
passe
to
the
Prophet
Zachariah
.
This
prophesie
containeth
many
notable
things
,
yet
herein
is
not
enclosed
the
Text
so
much
sought
,
but
however
here
you
may
see
a
menacing
and
a
threatning
expression
,
see
Zacha
.
7.13
.
Therefore
it
is
come
to
passe
,
that
as
he
cryed
,
and
they
would
not
heare
,
so
they
cryed
and
I
would
not
heare
,
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts
.
Here
is
shewed
the
just
proceedings
of
God
against
foolish
men
;
God
sent
his
spirit
in
his
Prophets
,
as
it
is
verse
12.
And
he
cryeth
unto
men
in
this
or
that
other
way
,
and
sinners
regard
it
not
;
and
when
God
seeth
their
carelesse
negligence
in
hearing
his
spirit
,
then
waxeth
he
wroth
and
will
not
heare
them
in
their
cries
powred
out
before
him
;
God
sent
his
spirit
in
the
old
Testament
,
and
then
the
cry
was
commonly
like
that
in
Ezek
.
33.11
.
Turne
,
turne
,
for
why
will
ye
die
,
oh
house
of
Israel
?
or
like
that
in
Amos
5.4
.
Seeke
ye
me
and
yee
shall
live
;
or
that
in
Isaiah
1.19
.
If
yee
be
willing
and
obedient
,
yee
shall
eat
the
good
of
the
Land
,
&c.
He
sends
his
spirit
now
under
the
Gospell
,
and
it
soundeth
commonly
of
faith
and
repentance
,
as
in
Mar.
1
15.
Repent
and
beleeve
the
Gospell
.
Or
of
Love
and
Charity
,
as
in
Mat
.
5.44
.
Love
your
enemies
,
blesse
them
that
curse
you
,
doe
good
to
them
which
hate
you
,
pray
for
them
which
despitefully
use
you
and
persecute
you
.
Such
are
the
cryes
and
sounds
of
the
spirit
.
Now
when
men
hear
not
the
spirits
voice
,
speaking
in
this
kinde
and
gracious
language
,
then
God
calleth
away
his
spirit
;
commands
it
to
cry
no
more
,
but
sends
others
to
cry
,
and
these
cryers
are
judgements
;
&
these
roare
&
yell
so
loud
in
the
eares
of
the
people
,
that
they
beget
an
horrour
in
their
soules
,
and
make
them
heare
them
with
a
king
hearts
?
their
cries
,
their
sounds
are
of
another
kind
,
they
speak
in
a
new
manner
,
to
sinners
saying
,
we
are
judgments
,
judgments
sent
from
the
living
God
;
to
you
we
are
come
to
torture
and
torment
you
,
to
feed
on
yee
,
to
ruine
yee
to
take
yee
and
teare
yee
with
the
teeth
of
perdition
,
and
we
will
not
pitty
,
nor
shall
our
eye
spare
you
.
At
such
a
sound
the
people
start
and
tremble
,
and
then
they
can
find
eares
to
heare
,
and
mouthes
to
open
,
and
tongues
to
answer
the
God
of
Heaven
,
saying
,
Quid
vis
Domine
,
&c.
what
wilt
thou
Lord
that
we
should
doe
;
we
understand
by
the
voice
of
thy
judgements
crying
in
our
eares
,
that
thou
art
angry
with
us
,
because
we
have
not
done
thy
will
,
nor
lissened
to
thy
spirit
;
we
are
sorry
for
the
fault
,
Nunc
jube
quid
vis
,
now
command
what
thou
wilt
and
it
shall
be
done
,
Nunc
mirte
spiritum
,
&c.
now
send
down
thy
spirit
,
and
we
will
heare
and
hearken
to
the
cry
;
but
oft
times
in
such
cases
it
proveth
too
late
(
as
to
the
Isralites
)
for
God
seeing
they
would
not
heare
his
spirit
,
crying
in
his
Prophets
,
he
now
will
not
heare
them
crying
for
feare
of
judgements
;
as
here
it
is
said
;
as
he
cried
(
that
is
)
as
his
spirit
cryed
and
they
would
not
heare
,
so
they
cryed
,
and
J
would
not
heare
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts
.
Beloved
,
ye
here
see
how
the
case
standeth
,
how
dangerous
it
is
not
to
hearken
to
Gods
spirit
crying
in
your
eares
;
and
therefore
have
a
care
of
the
danger
:
as
there
is
a
spring
time
,
so
there
is
a
hearing
time
,
and
that
is
{αβγδ}
Nunc
hodie
,
to
day
,
even
whilst
the
spirit
is
crying
to
day
,
heare
his
voice
,
Heb
.
3.13
.
Me
thinks
I
hear
how
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
running
up
and
downe
this
Kingdome
of
England
is
crying
in
every
County
,
in
every
City
,
in
every
Congregation
,
repent
ye
people
of
England
,
repent
ye
inhabitants
of
England
;
repent
ye
of
your
pride
,
repent
you
of
your
covetousnesse
,
repent
ye
of
your
oppression
,
repent
ye
of
your
chambering
and
wantonnesse
,
repent
ye
of
your
rioting
and
drunkennesse
,
repent
ye
of
your
strifes
and
envyings
,
repent
ye
of
your
divisions
and
contentions
,
or
else
the
God
(
to
whom
vengeance
belongeth
)
will
come
against
yee
,
and
fall
upon
you
with
more
violence
then
as
yet
hath
beene
used
,
and
cause
your
land
to
overflow
with
blood
,
and
your
Cities
to
appeare
in
flames
,
or
bring
in
famine
to
kill
her
thousands
,
and
fetch
in
a
plague
to
kill
ten
thousands
;
so
that
there
shall
be
(
Luctus
crudelis
ubique
)
sorrow
on
all
sides
,
dread
on
all
sides
,
death
and
destruction
on
all
sides
round
about
ye
,
and
then
may
ye
cry
,
Lord
we
are
in
misery
,
have
mercy
upon
us
;
Lord
we
are
in
distresse
,
have
mercy
upon
us
;
Lord
we
are
in
tribulation
,
have
mercy
upon
us
.
And
what
answer
will
there
be
given
?
perchance
such
a
one
as
this
,
hence
,
away
,
God
cares
for
yee
not
,
heares
ye
not
;
goe
cry
to
your
sinnes
,
goe
cry
to
your
pleasures
,
goe
cry
to
your
Mammons
,
(
as
the
Israelites
were
sent
in
Judg
.
10.13
,
14.
Oh!
this
would
be
a
dismall
answer
for
England
,
and
yet
such
an
one
must
England
expect
from
God
,
unlesse
England
heare
God
crying
to
her
in
the
language
of
John
the
Baptist
,
Repent
(
Matth
.
3.2
.
)
Now
beloved
I
could
here
prosecute
this
subject
,
and
cry
unto
you
,
to
heare
the
voice
of
God
now
crying
in
a
louder
manner
then
usually
yee
have
heard
him
cry
in
England
:
but
I
must
on
forward
to
Malachy
in
search
of
the
Text
expected
,
&c.
Now
having
passed
through
severall
Prophets
,
I
am
arrived
at
the
propesie
of
Malachy
the
last
of
Prophets
,
and
here
in
the
last
chapter
of
this
last
Prophet
I
find
the
Text
couchant
in
the
first
verse
of
the
said
chapter
,
the
words
are
these
,
For
behold
,
the
day
commeth
that
shall
burne
as
an
oven
,
and
all
the
proud
,
yea
,
and
all
that
doe
wickedly
,
shall
be
stubble
,
and
the
day
that
commeth
shall
burne
them
up
,
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts
,
and
shall

Here
is
a
Text
and
a
most
observable
Text
,
for
the
things
inclosed
in
it
,
and
since
I
have
travelled
so
much
in
search
of
it
,
you
may
expect
some
strange
rarities
from
it
,
but
what
ever
is
in
it
,
or
deducible
from
it
;
I
cannot
at
present
stay
to
shew
it
unto
you
,
for
I
see
that
now
,
just
now
,
as
I
read
the
Text
the
glasse
is
runne
;
with
reading
of
the
Text
,
the
houre
is
expired
;
but
what
time
doth
not
allow
me
now
to
do
upon
the
next
occasion
I
shall
performe
,
and
so
for
this
present
,
I
leave
this
Text
as
I
found
it
untoucht
,
unhandled
.
Craving
of
your
patience
some
few
minutes
of
time
,
to
plead
my
excuse
for
bringing
in
the
Text
,
in
the
ultimate
conclusion
,
and
finall
period
of
the
Sermon
.
I
know
there
are
some
that
will
censure
me
deeply
for
it
,
whilest
they
let
many
passe
without
a
frowne
,
that
read
their
Text
and
never
come
neere
it
an
houre
after
;
yet
I
may
be
excused
in
part
,
for
if
the
hearers
had
not
this
one
Text
at
the
first
,
yet
instead
of
this
one
,
they
have
had
the
liberty
of
looking
on
eleven
other
Texts
for
this
one
;
but
brethren
be
yee
not
censorious
,
't
is
true
,
that
the
houre
is
out
,
and
just
at
the
last
of
the
houre
I
read
the
Text
,
whilest
others
,
first
reade
the
Text
and
then
discourse
an
houre
:
in
this
yee
will
say
,
I
have
gone
(
retro
)
backward
,
to
common
use
and
custome
,
walking
in
a
new
and
unusuall
path
;
but
herein
is
your
error
,
for
't
is
no
novelty
,
no
new
invention
to
goe
retrograde
,
for
in
this
crosse
and
back-moving
motion
;
I
am
but
an
imitator
,
imitating
the
whole
world
in
generall
,
and
England
in
particular
.
The
world
is
on
her
journey
,
and
whether
is
the
world
journing
?
to
Heaven
,
to
Heaven
,
to
blisse
,
to
happinesse
,
to
the
fruition
of
that
which
is
,
summum
bonum
,
for
at
these
things
all
Nations
,
all
Sects
,
all
Religions
aime
at
;
but
marke
how
the
world
goeth
,
respectively
,
to
the
generall
of
the
Inhabitants
:
It
travaileth
(
retro
)
it
goeth
backward
,
for
the
way
to
Heaven
,
&c.
is
a
way
of
1.
Truth
,
2.
of
Holinesse
,
but
the
world
goeth
in
the
way
of
errours
(
Ethnicall
,
judaicall
,
malnimeticall
,
hereticall
and
seismaticall
)
and
in
the
way
of
prophanenesse
,
ungodlinesse
,
licentiousnesse
,
&c.
and
is
not
this
iter
retrogradum
,
is
not
this
a
crosse
going
,
a
backward
travailing
,
judge
yee
.
So
I
may
say
of
England
in
particular
,
England
is
now
in
a
journey
;
and
whether
is
England
going
?
It
is
travailing
to
find
out
Terra
pacis
a
Land
of
peace
;
and
the
way
leading
to
that
Land
,
to
that
happy
Land
;
is
there
,
directly
,
there
—
☞
Eastwards
;
but
England
is
now
walking
Westward
,
in
an
occidentall
path
,
and
marching
in
Campo
martio
,
even
in
the
blood
of
her
people
;
&
is
not
this
Iter
retrogradum
,
&c.
I
know
a
man
may
saile
towards
the
west
,
and
yet
arive
in
some
Iland
of
the
East
;
but
he
must
make
a
Drakes
voyage
of
it
then
,
he
must
goe
with
a
strange
compasse
,
not
(
without
many
perils
)
so
a
man
may
come
to
this
Terra
pacis
by
marching
through
the
field
of
warre
;
but
it
is
a
great
compasse
about
,
and
thousands
of
dangers
in
the
way
,
and
very
few
of
such
travailours
come
safe
to
their
journeys
end
;
some
lose
their
Armes
,
some
their
legs
,
some
their
eyes
,
some
their
estates
before
ever
they
come
there
,
and
most
lose
their
heads
or
their
bodies
,
perishing
in
the
way
.
Againe
,
England
is
now
on
her
journey
;
and
whether
is
England
passing
?
towards
a
place
called
Terra
prosperitatis
,
she
hath
a
great
desire
to
have
all
her
children
seated
in
a
Land
of
plenty
and
prosperity
,
that
they
may
not
behold
the
face
of
want
and
misery
:
but
marke
how
she
goeth
backward
,
still
backward
doth
she
goe
;
the
direct
and
straight
way
,
to
this
Land
of
prosperity
is
that
there
—
☞
But
now
England
goeth
in
a
path
where
there
is
nothing
for
the
generall
but
force
,
violence
,
fire
and
sword
,
compelling
and
borrowing
,
pillaging
and
plundering
,
&c.
and
what
thinke
you
,
is
not
this
Iter
retrogradum
,
&c.
Againe
,
England
is
now
a
journeying
,
and
whether
doth
England
travaile
?
towards
a
place
called
terra
veritatis
,
a
Land
of
truth
,
for
England
is
much
in
love
with
truth
,
(
if
you
will
beleeve
her
)
and
desireth
to
have
truth
planted
and
established
;
and
to
have
all
her
children
live
in
a
Country
of
truth
,
that
they
may
not
be
in
danger
to
be
swallowed
up
by
the
devouring
jawes
of
errour
;
Well
,
't
is
a
good
desire
,
and
travaile
for
such
a
jewell
is
highly
commendable
;
but
now
marke
the
way
England
taketh
,
the
way
to
this
land
of
truth
lieth
there
,
directly
there
—
☞
But
England
goeth
in
a
way
cleane
backward
,
for
in
this
way
where
England
now
goeth
,
there
is
a
tacite
licentiation
,
or
permission
of
errour
,
as
of
Popery
,
of
Seperatisme
,
Anabaptisme
,
Brownisme
,
&c.
And
these
by
the
silent
influences
of
England
upon
them
,
doe
so
bud
,
so
bloome
,
so
prosper
,
so
spread
abroad
,
that
ere
long
(
without
Gods
preventing
mercy
)
they
are
like
to
overshaddow
those
tender
plants
of
truth
,
which
are
already
planted
in
this
English
soyle
,
and
what
thinke
you
;
is
not
this
iter
retrogradum
?
Againe
,
England
findeth
her
children
to
be
sicke
of
a
misunderstanding
,
and
she
turnes
Phisitian
,
and
for
the
cure
of
their
distempers
,
sets
them
together
by
the
eares
;
calls
on
them
to
beat
out
one
anothers
braines
;
the
strangest
cure
of
wit
,
misunderstanding
and
distempers
,
that
ever
was
heard
of
.
In
the
dayes
of
Hippocrates
and
Galen
,
they
used
to
cure
distempers
of
the
braine
,
with
Hellebore
,
and
it
was
thought
a
violent
phisicke
:
But
our
phisicke
is
farre
more
violent
;
happy
for
us
,
if
we
had
Galen
,
or
Hippocrates
amongst
us
,
to
give
us
of
gentle
Hellebore
for
the
operation
of
it
is
gentle
,
in
respect
of
the
opperation
of
the
phisicke
England
giveth
;
happy
men
if
we
were
all
shipped
hence
to
Anticyra
for
cure
,
rather
then
follow
our
Mothers
prescriptions
here
at
home
;
but
whether
or
no
,
this
be
not
a
crosse
method
,
and
a
retrograde
path
to
tread
in
for
procuration
of
health
,
judge
ye
.
Many
petitions
have
the
Inhabitants
of
England
presented
to
King
and
Parliament
;
I
would
they
would
present
one
to
this
effect
,
namely
,
that
there
may
be
a
toleration
for
those
of
the
Protestant
Religion
heretofore
,
for
many
yeers
fore
passed
,
used
in
England
;
as
also
a
toleration
for
those
that
cannot
beare
the
Ceremonies
of
the
Church
of
England
for
a
season
,
even
till
the
Papists
Separatists
,
Anabaptists
,
&c.
were
disposed
of
to
Englands
safety
,
and
Irelands
recovery
;
and
then
afterwards
(
if
these
two
must
deside
the
quarrell
by
the
sword
)
let
them
fall
to
it
,
and
kill
and
murder
one
another
,
without
pitty
or
mercy
,
to
man
women
or
childe
(
if
they
have
Gods
warant
for
it
)
Quis
talia
fando
temperet
a
lachrymis
?
Can
truth
not
grow
now
in
our
England
,
till
England
be
washed
with
blood
?
is
the
English
soyle
so
barren
,
so
sterile
,
that
it
must
be
fatned
with
the
blood
of
our
brethren
?
to
accelerate
the
production
and
conservation
of
truth
?
IF
SO
,
't
is
a
thousand
pitties
,
is
this
the
way
to
truth
?
Oh!
it
is
iter
retrogradum
a
crosse
way
;
't
is
confessed
that
this
is
a
way
through
which
England
(
possibly
)
may
come
to
truth
,
but
't
is
via
flebilis
,
a
mournfull
way
,
a
lamentable
way
,
and
those
which
walke
in
it
,
may
chance
never
behold
the
face
of
truth
,
but
God
(
qui
solus
facit
mirabilia
)
who
alone
worketh
wonders
,
can
draw
light
out
of
this
darknesse
and
I
hope
he
will
;
otherwise
we
may
say
with
the
Apostles
,
Lord
we
perish
.
Thus
briefly
I
have
presented
ye
with
the
worlds
and
Englands
crosse
motions
,
something
more
I
would
have
said
,
but
it
would
have
ended
as
in
a
mist
,
and
therefore
I
le
not
name
it
;
onely
thus
much
I
have
said
to
shew
you
that
I
am
only
an
Imitator
and
not
an
Inventor
of
motions
Retrogade
,
but
in
these
motions
happier
then
my
native
Countrey
,
for
I
went
(
retro
)
backward
in
my
method
in
respect
of
custome
;
but
I
am
at
an
end
of
that
journey
,
and
now
though
with
a
compasse
have
I
arrived
at
my
text
,
but
the
Lord
onely
knoweth
when
England
will
be
at
an
end
of
her
miserable
and
toyling
journey
,
for
he
that
lookes
on
the
concurrence
of
evills
,
and
at
the
intertexture
and
complication
of
these
concurrent
evills
,
would
almost
conclude
(
Quod
regni
jam
fatae
jubent
)
that
England
should
be
ruined
,
for
she
fetcheth
such
a
a
compasse
about
her
in
passage
to
the
land
of
peace
,
plenty
,
and
truth
,
and
passeth
through
so
maey
dangers
and
perills
;
of
fire
sword
warre
famine
plague
,
pestilence
,
that
it
is
an
hundred
to
one
,
a
thousand
to
one
,
but
poore
England
will
perish
before
she
arrive
at
her
journies
end
)
but
let
us
hope
the
best
,
pray
for
the
best
but
in
the
meane
time
prepare
with
patience
to
endure
the
worst
.
Now
beloved
you
see
the
occasion
of
my
motion
,
and
I
hope
you
will
excuse
me
;
but
some
will
say
,
I
did
not
lodge
the
Text
in
the
conclusion
out
of
any
intent
of
imitation
for
some
exemplary
purpose
,
but
rather
that
this
happened
out
of
forgetfulnesse
,
as
if
I
had
forgot
the
Text
;
well
say
I
had
,
yet
might
you
passe
over
the
fault
in
silence
,
for
if
you
blame
a
Preacher
for
this
,
if
such
an
act
be
meritorious
of
censure
,
then
how
justly
may
you
hearers
be
acused
and
censured
:
I
forgat
the
Text
count
you
this
so
strange
a
thing
?
why
,
't
is
familiar
for
people
to
come
to
Church
,
to
heare
Sermons
,
and
forget
to
bring
their
eares
,
I
meane
their
obedientiall
eares
,
and
is
not
this
as
strange
a
thing
.
I
forgat

count
you
this
so
strange
a
thing
?
why
't
is
familiar
with
people
to
come
to
Church
,
to
draw
the
water
of
life
at
the
well
of
Gods
Ordinances
,
and
yet
oft
they
forget
to
bring
the
vessels
to
hold
that
water
;
I
mean
their
hearts
,
for
these
are
left
at
home
,
or
suffered
to
wander
or
rove
abroad
amongst
the
bagges
of
gold
,
or
flockes
of
Cattell
,
or
gardens
of
pleasure
,
&c.
Is
not
this
as
strange
a
thing
.
I
forgat
the
Text
?
say
I
did
,
count
you
this
so
strange
a
thing
?
why
,
't
is
familiar
with
the
people
to
goe
into
the
Temple
to
worship
God
,
and
yet
full
oft
they
forget
God
is
there
;
witnesse
their
carelesse
preparation
for
that
worship
of
God
,
and
their
unbeseeming
irreverence
of
gesture
in
the
Temple
of
that
glorious
God
;
and
is
not
this
as
strange
a
thing
?
But
say
I
did
forget
this
place
,
yet
at
length
I
found
it
;
but
you
will
say
,
I
found
it
not
till
the
glasse
was
runne
,
even
cleane
runne
out
,
well
't
is
granted
,
yet
herein
you
may
excuse
me
,
for
I
have
done
but
as
others
doe
,
as
I
shall
instance
in
some
particulars
:
There
be
full
many
that
seeke
for
that
Bonum
,
or
that
good
thing
,
that
is
,
in
Temperance
and
Chastity
;
yet
never
find
it
,
till
the
glasse
of
their
health
be
clean
run
out
,
through
their
chambring
and
wantonnesse
,
whereby
they
bring
diseases
upon
their
bodies
,
and
so
become
fit
subjects
for
Chirurgions
to
worke
upon
in
Hospitals
.
So
there
be
many
that
seeke
to
find
out
that
bonum
which
is
in
providence
and
yet
never
find
it
,
till
the
glasse
of
their
estates
be
cleane
runne
out
,
through
their
prodigall
rioting
and
disorders
,
and
then
like
Grashoppers
,
they
are
forced
to
skip
about
the
meddowes
of
this
world
,
sub
forma
pauperum
.
So
there
are
many
that
seeke
to
find
out
that
bonum
which
is
in
Grace
,
but
never
finde
it
till
the
glasse
of
their
life
is
almost
cleane
runne
out
;
and
then
when
they
are
upon
their
death-beds
,
ready
to
breath
out
their
last
,
and
consider
the
excellency
and
necessity
of
grace
,
then
they
begin
to
prize
it
and
cry
out
for
grace
,
for
grace
,
nothing
then
is
cared
for
but
grace
,
then
a
Kingdom
,
then
a
world
for
a
graine
of
grace
would
they
give
,
were
it
in
their
power
,
if
so
they
could
purchase
that
celestiall
gem
.
So
many
there
be
that
spend
some
thoughts
to
find
out
the
nature
of
this
world
,
but
never
find
it
,
till
the
glasse
of
their
life
is
almost
cleane
runne
out
;
and
then
when
they
are
upon
their
dying
beds
,
and
see
how
their
riches
take
the
wing
and
flye
away
,
how
their
honours
take
the
wing
and
flie
away
,
how
their
pleasure
take
the
wing
,
and
fly
away
,
and
so
leave
a
dying
man
naked
in
his
bed
,
as
naked
as
he
came
into
the
world
;
then
he
begins
to
see
that
the
world
is
vanity
,
and
then
seeing
nothing
certaine
before
his
eyes
,
but
death
and
another
world
,
he
begins
to
curse
his
folly
in
admiring
the
world
,
and
to
cry
out
against
himselfe
,
quid
mihi
superbia
,
&c.
what
hath
pride
profited
me
,
what
hath
riches
honours
&
pleasures
advantaged
me
,
&c.
that
now
I
am
left
here
all
alone
,
all
naked
,
having
no
heavenly
treasures
,
than
I
can
challenge
for
mine
owne
,
in
Christ
Jesus
in
the
other
world
;
at
this
he
begins
to
mourne
,
to
weepe
,
and
weeping
dyes
,
whom
we
leave
in
the
hands
of
Gods
mercy
.
Here
beloved
yee
have
severall
instances
of
late
finding
,
so
that
I
am
not
alone
in
finding
when
the
glasse
is
runne
;
I
would
I
were
in
such
a
case
alone
,
but
there
are
too
many
of
these
late
finders
;
and
I
feare
,
I
feare
it
much
,
that
one
more
there
is
,
that
is
to
be
inserted
into
this
number
,
and
to
be
placed
in
this
catalogue
,
and
this
one
is
England
in
which
one
are
many
thousands
,
&c.
England
is
now
seeking
for
peace
,
but
I
feare
shee
will
not
find
it
till
her
glasse
be
runne
,
i.e.
till
it
be
first
destroyed
by
warre
,
and
woefull
is
that
peace
,
which
issueth
out
of
the
bowels
of
warre
;
I
count
it
an
unhappy
peace
,
for
the
children
,
which
is
conveyed
unto
them
,
through
a
flowing
streame
of
the
Parents
blood
.
England
is
now
in
search
of
truth
,
but
I
feare
shee
will
not
find
it
,
till
her
glasse
be
runne
,
i.e.
till
she
be
obscured
if
not
destryoed
by
the
increasing
errours
difusing
themselves
throughout
our
Land
.
England
is
now
seeking
for
plenty
,
but
I
feare
she
will
not
find
it
,
till
her
glasse
be
runne
,
i.e.
till
she
be
starved
;
and
destroyed
by
famine
.
England
is
now
in
a
consumption
,
sicke
and
very
sicke
,
and
seeking
for
health
,
seeking
for
a
Physitian
to
cure
her
malady
and
procure
her
health
,
but
I
feare
shee
will
not
find
it
till
her
glasse
be
runne
,
i.e.
till
she
pine
,
languish
,
and
consume
away
.
But
you
will
say
,
these
are
but
feares
,
but
jealousies
,
true
they
are
no
more
,
I
would
there
were
no
occasion
for
those
,
but
however
I
hope
to
see
the
day
,
that
God
will
blow
upon
the
causes
and
occasions
of
those
feares
and
jealousies
:
and
then
you
shall
see
them
vanish
into
Aire
.
I
hope
ere
long
to
see
the
day
,
that
God
will
blow
upon
this
monster
Warre
,
and
cause
it
vanish
into
nothing
,
and
that
he
will
blow
upon
these
errors
,
and
make
them
vanish
into
nothing
,
and
that
he
will
blow
upon
our
present
wants
,
and
make
them
vanish
into
nothing
;
I
hope
to
see
the
day
,
that
he
will
breath
with
the
breath
of
salvation
on
our
England
,
and
so
cure
the
consumption
,
cure
her
afflicting
,
malady
;
that
she
may
recover
and
arise
out
of
the
bed
of
her
sicknesse
:
and
so
in
her
conclusion
England
being
healed
,
I
hope
that
God
will
by
his
providentiall
disposing
of
things
here
,
send
some
Physitians
from
hence
into
Ireland
with
Balmes
,
Elixirs
,
tinctures
,
for
the
curing
of
the
mortall
wounds
,
and
desperate
imposturnations
of
that
bleeding
,
dying
,
and
perishing
Kingdome
;
Hoc
spero
,
speransque
ono
,
for
this
I
hope
,
for
this
I
pray
,
(
as
one
of
the
sonnes
of
that
dying
mother
,
)
and
I
doubt
not
but
yee
have
the
same
hope
,
now
to
that
hope
superadde
,
your
prayers
,
supplications
,
teares
and
humiliations
,
and
the
Lord
of
mercy
from
his
habitation
in
the
highest
looke
upon
us
,
and
lift
up
the
light
of
his
countenance
and
be
mercifull
unto
us
,
and
blesse
us
now
and
for
ever
.
Amen
.
FINIS
