MODERATION
,
howsoever
she
hath
of
later
dayes
lived
obscurely
,
as
a
Stranger
to
most
Nations
of
the
Earth
,
and
altogether
unknown
to
not
a
few
,
is
descended
of
a
very
ancient
and
honourable
Family
,
famous
for
their
Piety
and
Loyalty
;
She
came
out
of
the
holy
Land
,
was
born
at
Arimathea
,
of
the
most
Honourable
Family
in
that
City
,
and
of
the
Senatorian
Dignity
.
A
Family
which
brought
forth
more
Saints
then
all
the
world
besides
;
all
the
holy
Prophets
of
old
,
and
the
blessed
Apostles
,
sprang
out
o●…
it
;
and
very
near
in
bloud
she
was
,
and
intimately
acquainted
with
those
many
Worthies
famed
in
ancient
Story
whose
Race
is
almost
wholly
worn
out
since
,
to
wit
,
famous
Urban
,
Pudens
Clemens
,
Justus
,
Aristobulus
(
an
excellent
Statesman
and
a
Privy
Councellour
)
Aristarchus
(
a
great
and
gracious
Prince
)
and
Fortunatus
a
happy
and
experienced
General
)
Saints
a●…
in
the
Primitive
Calender
:
As
als●…
with
those
of
her
own
Sex
,
the
Lady
Dorcas
,
the
Lady
Elect
,
and
her
Siste●…
Elect
(
whose
names
I
do
not
now
remember
)
so
well
known
,
and
so
muc●…
honoured
by
the
beloved
Disciple
and
Saint
Lydia
,
Saint
Priscilla
,
Saint
Damaris
,
Saint
Tryphaena
,
and
her
Sister
Saint
Tryphosa
,
and
Saint
Claudia
(
supposed
to
be
our
Country-woman
:
)
But
all
of
them
unquestioned
Saints
in
the
first
Primitive
Calender
,
before
any
of
those
were
Canonized
,
whose
names
fill
up
our
present
Calenders
.
Many
great
Personages
besides
desired
acquaintance
with
her
,
and
some
claimed
Kinred
of
her
;
as
first
the
Lady
Pilate
,
but
it
was
afar
off
,
who
privately
sent
word
to
the
Lord
Deputy
her
Husband
,
sitting
President
in
●…
he
High
Court
of
Justice
(
as
then
●…
alled
)
that
he
should
in
no
hand
proceed
to
the
condemnation
of
the
Pri●…
oner
then
at
the
Bar
,
whatsoever
●…
hould
come
of
it
,
though
he
lost
his
place
upon
it
.
And
King
Agrippa
,
who
was
much
●…
urther
off
,
who
though
he
fouly
dis●…
iked
the
bandying
against
Moderation
,
●…
et
he
spake
but
one
word
,
and
that
●…
ut
faintly
,
in
favour
of
the
cause
,
and
was
but
almost
perswaded
to
countenance
it
.
Doctor
Gamaliel
was
th●…
nearest
of
the
three
,
and
spake
more
i●…
her
behalf
,
to
stop
the
further
prosecution
against
her
for
a
time
,
and
so
di●…
help
her
out
.
But
Tertullus
the
Sollicitor
,
was
a
pestilent
Adversary
(
whether
,
as
o●…
said
,
Avaritiae
magis
quam
maliti●…
causa
,
I
will
not
determine
)
and
〈…〉
spent
all
his
Oratory
and
Rhetoric●…
to
make
her
as
black
and
odious
as
〈…〉
could
.
The
place
of
her
birth
was
Arim●…thea
(
as
I
said
before
)
and
is
the
san●…
with
that
which
was
called
Ramah
old
,
where
was
the
first
Academy
〈…〉
Divine
Students
,
and
the
ancient
〈…〉
Colledge
that
was
for
the
sons
of
t●…
Prophets
,
whereof
Samuel
was
Pres●…dent
;
and
the
self
same
City
,
where
b●…fore
him
Deborah
,
that
renown●…
Princess
,
and
first
Queen
Regent
,
ke●…
her
Court
.
There
was
she
born
.
Her
Fathers
name
was
Seignior
Gr●…vity
:
Her
Mothers
,
Matron
Sagac●…
(
a
Woman
of
few
words
,
but
gre●…
understanding
.
)
And
a
happy
Co●…ple
they
were
,
and
of
ancient
and
honourable
Extractions
.
Gravity's
Father
was
a
Grandee
of
State
,
an
Honourable
Privy
Counsellor
,
lived
and
dyed
at
Arimathea
,
his
name
Joseph
,
whose
Genealogy
may
be
fetcht
from
the
Second
Adam
,
it
was
so
high
,
so
holy
,
and
so
ancient
;
his
Father
Ben
Hagios
,
sirnamed
Bar-Jonah
,
he
the
Son
of
David
,
he
the
Son
of
Abraham
,
he
the
Son
of
Noah
,
he
the
Son
of
Enoch
,
he
the
Son
of
Seth
,
he
the
Son
of
Adam
the
Second
,
he
the
undoubted
Son
of
God
,
and
the
first-born
of
every
Creature
:
He
it
was
that
in
open
Court
,
when
that
first
High
Court
of
Injustice
was
set
to
arraign
and
condemn
the
most
Innocent
Person
that
ever
was
,
and
their
Sacred
Soveraign
besides
,
the
Lords
Annointed
,
perswaded
and
pressed
,
with
all
his
might
,
to
stay
that
bloudy
Sentence
from
being
pronounced
and
executed
,
which
,
as
he
then
told
them
,
might
sooner
be
repented
●…
hen
recalled
,
and
would
set
all
the
Nation
a
bleeding
;
and
when
he
saw
he
could
not
be
heard
,
he
entred
his
Protestation
,
arose
from
the
Bench
,
and
withdrew
with
much
detestation
from
their
Assembly
,
with
whom
h●…
would
not
have
his
Honour
united
nor
his
Loyalty
and
Conscience
stained
.
Sagacity's
Ancestors
were
Churchmen
;
some
of
them
had
been
presen●…
at
the
first
and
best
Synod
that
eve●…
was
called
together
,
met
purposely
fo●…
Accommodation
,
where
all
unanimousl●…
voted
no
Imposition
of
things
burdensom
to
Conscience
,
and
agreed
to
pa●…
a
very
few
Canons
,
enjoyning
onl●…
some
things
necessary
,
whereby
th●…
Peace
of
the
Church
was
then
happily
settled
.
The
Children
did
not
at
all
degenerate
from
their
Parents
,
but
as
the
had
been
vertuously
brought
up
,
s●…
they
lived
together
as
sweetly
,
no●…
being
married
till
of
full
age
,
an●…
good
understanding
;
and
as
their
Fathers
had
been
,
each
of
them
,
th●…
glory
of
their
respective
Professions
,
so
were
the
Children
th●…
glory
and
joy
of
their
Parents
.
But
it
happening
after
a
certain
time
,
that
Persecution
wasting
on
the
one
hand
,
and
desolating
Armies
on
the
other
over-running
all
,
their
Native
Country
grew
too
hot
for
them
to
abide
in
:
Therefore
were
they
forced
to
seek
out
some
more
safe
and
quiet
habitation
;
and
having
travelled
many
Countries
,
but
finding
no
such
,
where
they
might
quietly
settle
,
they
came
at
last
to
a
certain
Island
,
called
Feliciana
,
by
others
corruptly
,
Elysiana
;
an
Island
nearest
the
Aequator
of
any
other
,
yet
not
under
the
Equinoctial
line
;
that
being
an
errour
which
our
times
have
corrected
,
the
just
Aequator
not
being
where
dayes
and
nights
are
of
equal
length
,
but
where
the
Inhabitants
minds
and
spirits
are
equally
affected
each
to
other
,
therefore
by
some
called
the
Aequi-animal
,
or
Aequi-amicitial
line
,
by
others
the
Aequi-scriptural
line
,
more
easie
to
be
found
in
the
new
Coelestial
Globe
,
then
in
the
old
Terrestrial
;
there
did
they
plant
themselves
and
their
Family
.
A
very
fertile
Isle
it
is
and
seated
in
a
most
temperate
Clime
there
being
no
extremity
of
heat
or
cold
;
blessed
with
a
happy
Government
and
Laws
,
squared
many
o●…
them
to
a
Conformity
to
Divine
Precepts
,
others
suited
to
the
condition
o●…
the
people
,
in
order
to
publick
good
No
where
is
a
Deity
more
honoured
a
Prince
more
beloved
,
a
people
mor●…
happy
,
and
peaceably
disposed
.
Then
they
usually
live
to
a
great
age
,
and
i●…
much
health
and
plenty
,
and
dye
no●…
till
they
are
full
of
dayes
.
The
temperateness
of
the
Clime
may
be
easily
conjectured
,
if
you
consider
the
scituation
of
it
,
it
being
seated
just
in
th●…
very
middle
Degree
of
Latitude
,
and
in
the
very
utmost
and
most
remote
degree
of
Longitude
from
the
Meridian
of
Rome
.
Thither
,
I
say
,
came
this
Family
,
and
there
seated
themselves
,
and
there
had
they
the
Children
which
they
had
,
of
whom
we
shall
speak
;
whose
History
being
many
a
day
ago
written
in
the
native
Language
of
that
Island
,
is
here
transcribed
and
translated
out
of
the
Original
,
for
the
benefit
or
delight
of
our
own
Country
.
CHAP.
II
.
Of
the
two
Brethren
of
Moderation
.
THe
Parents
had
but
a
few
Children
,
though
they
lived
long
together
,
to
a
great
age
;
never
had
but
two
Sons
(
and
they
Twins
)
and
one
only
Daughter
,
of
whom
this
Discourse
chiefly
relates
.
The
name
of
the
elder
was
Philodike
,
or
Love-Justice
,
a
rare
Patriot
,
and
excellent
Statesman
:
of
the
other
Philotheos
,
a
true
friend
to
Religion
,
and
as
eminent
a
Clergy-man
.
They
were
Twins
,
as
I
said
,
and
so
alike
,
that
you
could
not
know
the
one
from
the
other
:
Both
were
nursed
by
their
own
Mother
Sagacity
,
o●…
like
feature
,
stature
and
disposition
alwayes
bred
up
together
,
equally
beloved
of
their
Parents
,
and
(
whic●…
is
rare
to
be
found
among
Brethren
i●…
these
dayes
)
no
emulation
or
unkindness
in
the
earth
,
but
alwayes
inti●…
love
and
firm
agreement
to
their
dying
day
;
whatsoever
pleased
or
di●…pleased
the
one
,
did
the
same
to
th●…
other
;
they
both
joyed
and
grieve●…
together
,
liked
and
disliked
alike
,
by
strange
and
rare
simpathy
of
natur●…
and
affection
:
They
lived
both
to
b●…
good
old
men
,
and
dyed
both
together
,
immediately
after
their
Siste●…
Moderation
(
even
the
self-same
Day
and
all
three
buryed
in
one
and
rh●…
same
Grave
.
The
Mother
,
if
she
might
have
ha●…
the
name
,
would
have
had
the
elde●…
called
Philotheos
,
and
bred
a
Divine●…
because
her
father
was
so
;
but
he
Husband
perswaded
her
,
and
she
presently
yielded
to
have
the
younger
s●…
called
,
adding
withall
,
that
it
could
be
no
disparagement
to
him
,
to
have
th●…
elder
called
Philodike
,
for
otherwise
,
said
he
again
,
it
were
but
small
honour
or
comfort
to
me
,
to
give
the
name
of
Religion
and
Love
to
God
,
if
there
were
not
first
had
a
respect
to
Justice
and
Righteousness
.
But
it
made
no
matter
which
was
which
,
for
not
only
their
age
,
habit
and
complexion
were
alike
,
but
their
disposition
too
,
so
that
you
had
not
been
much
mistaken
,
or
at
all
called
them
out
of
their
names
,
if
you
had
called
either
of
them
Philodike
,
or
Philotheos
;
for
Philodike
,
the
Lover
of
Justice
,
was
as
true
a
Friend
to
Religion
as
Philotheus
himself
was
;
and
Philotheos
,
the
Lover
of
God
and
Religion
,
was
as
much
for
Justice
and
Righteousness
as
his
Brother
was
.
CHAP.
III
.
The
Birth
and
Breeding
of
Moderation
.
THey
had
but
one
Sister
between
them
,
her
name
was
Moderation
(
born
to
her
Parents
when
they
were
well
in
years
:
)
And
she
bred
up
at
home
,
and
nursed
by
her
Mother
Sagacity
,
who
,
with
Seignior
Gravity
the
Father
,
had
instilled
into
her
the
chief
Principles
of
Religion
,
Morality
and
Prudence
,
and
she
so
apt
and
apprehensive
withall
,
to
conceive
and
retain
(
whatsoever
she
heard
or
read
was
all
her
own
presently
:
)
And
besides
it
was
observed
in
her
,
she
would
oft
ask
such
Questions
,
and
make
such
Queries
,
to
understand
the
reason
of
things
that
seemed
high
,
or
doubtful
and
obscure
(
but
still
things
pertinent
and
serious
)
as
was
to
be
wondered
at
in
a
Woman
,
and
of
her
age
especially
:
Neither
did
she
ever
trouble
her
head
about
Niceties
and
Impertinencies
,
that
it
was
verily
conceived
she
could
give
as
good
satisfactlon
in
most
points
of
Religion
and
Practice
as
most
Divines
;
and
in
matters
of
Prudenee
,
and
right
State-Policy
,
few
Statesmen
could
go
beyond
her
:
So
that
it
was
said
,
of
all
hands
,
of
her
when
she
was
young
,
that
she
must
be
married
,
either
to
some
eminent
Statesman
,
or
Churchman
,
for
she
would
make
an
excellent
Wife
for
either
,
and
accordingly
it
fell
out
,
for
she
was
married
to
two
such
,
one
after
the
other
,
as
you
will
hear
anon
.
CHAP.
IV
.
Of
Experience
,
Aunt
to
Moderation
,
her
Husband
,
Children
,
Character
and
Employment
,
and
how
Moderation
was
bred
in
her
School
.
I
Might
have
informed
you
also
,
that
Sagacity
had
an
elder
Sister
,
called
Experience
,
a
very
wise
,
knowing
and
vertuous
Woman
,
and
she
lived
to
a
very
great
age
,
in
so
much
as
she
was
commonly
call'd
Old
Experience
:
But
she
had
gone
through
a
world
of
troubles
as
ever
any
did
(
inward
and
outward
)
for
many
years
,
much
sickness
,
many
crosses
in
the
world
,
yet
would
she
still
say
,
all
were
for
her
good
.
And
the
least
was
not
in
her
Husband
,
to
whom
she
was
married
very
young
;
his
name
Philantos
(
he
loved
himself
,
and
cared
for
no
body
else
)
a
great
Gallant
he
was
,
and
newly
come
of
age
,
and
of
a
fair
Estate
;
but
a
wilfull
and
heady
young
man
he
was
,
and
must
not
be
contradicted
nor
counselled
neither
:
He
would
never
hearken
to
the
advice
of
his
Wife
Experience
till
all
was
gone
;
He
was
many
times
hasty
and
unkind
to
his
Wife
besides
,
when
any
thing
had
crossed
him
,
and
this
was
a
great
cut
to
her
.
But
at
last
she
,
by
her
wisdom
and
fair
carriage
,
wrought
a
great
change
in
him
;
so
that
people
would
often
say
,
See
by
Experience
,
what
may
not
a
wise
Woman
bring
a
bad
Husband
to
in
time
?
The
Good
Gill
may
mend
the
Bad
Jack
.
She
had
by
him
many
Children
,
three
Sons
,
and
as
many
more
Daughters
:
The
three
Sons
first
,
whose
names
were
,
Philedonos
,
Misoponos
,
and
Asotos
,
all
three
too
like
the
Father
.
Philedonos
was
all
for
play
and
his
pleasure
;
a
dainty
and
delicate
youth
he
was
,
and
his
Father
had
spoiled
him
,
by
making
a
very
Wanton
of
him
and
he
must
be
a
Gentleman
becaus●…
the
eldest
.
Misoponos
was
put
to
a
Trade
,
but
deadly
lazy
Boy
he
was
,
very
dull
a●…
learning
,
and
hardly
brought
to
settl●…
to
any
thing
,
or
stay
with
any
Master
.
Asotos
was
worst
of
all
,
a
prodiga●…
vain
he
had
in
spending
whatever
h●…
could
wrap
and
rend
,
and
good
at
nothing
in
the
Earth
but
stroying
.
When
many
saw
these
young
Lad●…
and
beheld
their
carriage
,
they
sai●…
it
was
not
for
nothing
that
that
Proverb
was
raised
,
Experientia
Mai●…
Stultorum
,
that
is
,
Experience
is
th●…
Mother
of
Fools
.
But
all
three
at
la●…
having
well
smarted
for
their
folly
and
being
well
taught
by
their
Mother
,
Dear
Experience
(
she
took
a
wor●…
of
pains
with
them
first
)
they
wer●…
much
reclaimed
.
But
her
Daughters
proved
all
singularly
good
.
The
first
was
Probation
;
she
had
endured
much
,
an●…
had
been
exercised
with
many
temptations
.
The
second
Patience
,
a
very
meek
,
quiet
and
submissive
a
Creature
as
lived
,
never
murmuring
,
fretting
,
or
discontented
.
And
the
third
Diligence
,
a
mighty
active
and
handy
body
,
and
so
willing
and
desirous
to
please
,
as
you
never
saw
the
like
.
These
three
she
had
pretty
thick
one
after
the
other
in
her
younger
dayes
,
and
stay'd
a
fair
while
ere
she
●…
ad
any
more
;
in
so
much
that
many
●…
hought
she
would
have
had
no
more
Children
:
And
all
these
three
●…
ent
through
much
hardship
;
you
might
,
if
you
had
looked
wishly
on
●…
hem
,
have
discerned
somewhat
of
Care
in
their
very
Countenances
,
for
●…
he
Mother
had
been
under
several
●…
roubles
all
the
while
she
went
with
●…
hem
;
And
they
had
all
of
them
a
spice
of
Melancholy
,
and
were
troubled
with
the
Hypocondriack
wind
,
which
they
after
rubbed
out
,
and
then
grew
very
healthful
,
and
lived
all
o●…
them
comfortably
.
After
these
three
,
Probation
,
Patience
and
Diligence
,
were
a
little
grown
up
,
she
had
three
other
goodly
Children
:
Hope
the
first
,
after
her
Confidence
,
and
last
of
all
Assurance
:
These
she
had
not
so
thick
as
the
other
three
,
but
she
stay'd
a
fair
while
between
Hope
and
Confidence
,
and
somewhat
longer
ere
she
had
Assurance●…
These
three
last
made
Experience
a●…
joyful
Mother
,
and
crowned
her
late●…
dayes
with
much
happiness
,
and
they
were
as
happy
for
their
part
in
their
Mother
:
Tender
Children
all
thre●…
when
young
,
and
had
never
grow●…
up
,
if
their
own
Mother
had
not
carefully
nursed
them
:
But
when
grown
,
they
were
of
an
excellent
Complexion
,
and
rare
Constitution
,
ever
healthful
,
and
so
chearful
,
that
they
wer●…
never
known
to
have
an
ill
day
,
o●…
look
with
a
sad
Countenance
:
Nay
,
the
Mother
never
had
an
ill
fit
all
the
while
she
went
with
Hope
,
Confidence
and
Assurance
,
as
she
had
formerly
had
with
all
her
other
Children
:
Yea
,
it
is
thought
she
lived
the
longer
for
them
;
and
they
were
such
good
Children
,
and
so
tender
of
their
Mother
,
that
they
eased
her
of
all
troubles
,
so
that
she
was
never
troubled
with
any
earthly
business
after
,
but
lived
as
if
she
had
been
in
Heaven
already
,
no
Creature
in
all
the
world
so
happy
as
she
.
Her
wild
Husband
Philautos
,
having
now
made
away
all
his
Estate
,
and
his
Wives
Portion
too
,
was
at
last
fain
to
live
upon
his
Wives
care
and
●…
ains
;
and
she
maintained
him
and
all
her
Children
very
comfortably
.
She
taught
a
School
,
and
was
excel●…
ently
qualified
for
that
Employment
;
●…
mighty
judicious
and
solid
Person
●…
he
was
;
a
great
and
diligent
Obser●…
er
she
had
been
of
whatever
memorable
matters
she
had
read
,
or
had
occurred
in
her
time
:
She
was
universally
read
,
I
suppose
,
in
all
Historie
whatsoever
,
Ecclesiastical
or
Civil
Ancient
or
Modern
;
she
had
all
th●…
Chronicles
of
the
Kings
of
the
Lan●…
and
all
the
remarkable
Accidents
ar●…
Occurrents
that
had
happened
in
the●…
several
Reigns
,
ad
unguem
,
besid●…
what
she
had
furnisht
her self
with
her
own
Collections
and
Observa●…ons
for
many
years
;
and
she
had
most
rare
memory
.
She
could
tell
you
by
variety
Examples
,
and
plenty
of
Instanc●…
what
had
made
Princes
happy
or
u●…fortunate
,
what
would
make
a
Co●…monwealth
flourish
or
decay
;
w●…
would
raise
or
ruine
a
Family
,
w●…
would
settle
or
disturb
the
Churc●…
peace
:
In
a
word
,
you
could
har●…
put
that
to
her
,
which
she
could
〈…〉
satisfie
you
in
;
she
could
tell
y●…
who
,
or
what
,
was
like
to
thrive
〈…〉
miscarry
;
what
Match
was
like
〈…〉
prove
well
or
ill
:
And
her
Judgme●…
seldom
failed
.
She
had
an
Aphorisme
,
which
was
frequently
and
familiarly
in
her
mouth
,
and
call'd
it
an
infallible
Maxime
,
by
which
you
might
ghess
at
what
was
future
by
what
was
past
,
which
,
she
said
,
she
had
from
the
Pen
of
a
matchless
Prince
,
a
man
of
the
deepest
insight
,
and
greatest
wisdom
and
observation
in
the
world
,
and
was
this
,
That
which
hath
Been
will
Be
,
and
there
is
nothing
new
under
the
Sun.
With
her
Moderation
had
much
of
her
breeding
,
besides
what
she
had
had
put
to
her
by
her
Father
Gravity
,
and
her
Mother
Sagacity
;
and
careful
she
was
to
treasure
up
her
Aunt
Experiences
Aphorismes
and
Dictates
as
so
many
Jewels
of
Gold
;
yea
,
in
every
matter
of
moment
she
would
still
come
and
advise
with
her
Aunt
Experience
,
to
her
dying
day
,
for
she
long
out-lived
Moderation
.
Moreover
,
Philodike
and
Philothe●s
,
the
two
Brothers
,
were
wont
,
at
every
breaking
up
at
School
,
to
come
an●…
spend
their
time
with
her
;
yea
,
afte●…
they
had
been
at
the
University
,
the●…
would
often
come
and
visit
her
,
an●…
they
thought
their
time
well
spe●…
while
they
were
with
her
:
Th●…
would
often
confess
,
they
had
lear●…
that
from
her
mouth
,
which
th●…
might
have
looked
for
long
enoug●…
in
their
Books
,
and
not
have
m●…
withall
:
Yea
,
when
they
were
a●…vanced
to
that
greatness
,
whereof
shall
tell
you
more
anon
,
they
wou●…
familiarly
come
to
her
for
advice
a●…
counsel
,
and
this
made
the
one
so
ha●…py
and
accomplisht
a
Statesman
,
a●…
the
other
a
Divine
.
She
had
not
,
as
was
thought
some
,
much
of
Learning
or
Lang●…ges
,
knew
none
but
her
Mothe●…
tongue
:
But
she
had
read
most
of
t●…
Writings
of
the
Divines
,
and
of
t●…
Histories
of
her
own
Country
o●…
and
over
,
and
had
them
perfect
:
A●…
she
did
constantly
back
her
Prece●…
with
such
choice
and
pregnant
Exa●…ples
,
that
made
such
impression
in
her
Schollers
,
as
that
her
Dictates
were
look'd
upon
as
Authentick
Demonstrations
,
or
Probatums
at
least
;
and
Ipse
dixit
was
never
more
current
in
the
old
Philosophers
School
,
then
ipsa
dixit
,
or
Experientia
docuit
,
was
in
hers
;
yea
,
Experientia
docuit
went
for
currant
Authority
all
the
Land
over
.
Very
famous
she
was
for
the
great
good
she
did
in
teaching
,
and
indeed
she
excelled
all
other
School-masters
and
Mistrisses
whatsoever
,
so
that
she
was
by
some
,
for
a
singular
Gift
she
had
in
teaching
above
all
others
,
by
way
of
Honour
and
Eminency
,
styled
,
Experientia
Magistra
Stultorum
,
Experience
the
Mistress
of
Fools
,
because
where
none
else
could
do
good
of
them
she
could
;
but
by
most
she
was
styled
,
Magistra
Sapientum
,
the
Mistress
of
the
wisest
.
But
to
be
sure
all
were
the
better
that
came
under
her
Education
and
Instruction
;
and
this
was
an
Observation
that
was
generally
taken
of
her
Schollers
,
That
they
alwayes
were
better
Livers
,
then
those
who
had
been
taught
only
by
Book
.
Moderation
was
bred
up
in
her
School
,
as
I
said
,
and
profited
much
,
was
the
most
plyable
Scholler
she
had
in
all
the
School
,
and
therefore
she
took
the
more
delight
to
discourse
with
her
,
read
her
many
a
long
Lecture
:
She
would
sometimes
take
her
in
private
with
her
into
her
Closet
,
and
say
to
her
,
Moderation
,
thou
art
my
near
Kinswoman
,
I
love
thy
very
name
,
I
would
there
were
more
of
it
;
and
next
to
my
three
youngest
Daughters
,
Hope
,
Confidence
and
Assurance
,
so
necessary
to
my
Salvation
,
I
love
thee
as
well
as
any
Child
I
have
,
and
above
any
other
mortal
Creature
whatsoever
;
thy
name
and
nature
being
so
full
of
benignity
and
beneficialness
to
all
mankind
,
because
so
full
of
charity
,
which
brings
us
Mortals
on
Earth
to
the
nearest
affinity
with
those
Immortals
in
Heaven
;
and
should
I
ever
have
another
Daughter
,
I
would
call
her
by
thy
name
.
Moderation
,
I
will
tell
thee
what
I
have
observed
,
and
know
to
be
most
certain
;
Thy
Ancestors
have
been
blessings
to
Mankind
in
all
Ages
,
and
in
whatsoever
Countries
they
have
lived
,
have
honoured
God
,
preserved
Peace
,
secured
States
,
prevented
Commotions
,
suppressed
Insurrections
,

Oh!
how
good
and
joyful
it
is
,
to
see
Brethren
dwell
together
in
Unity
,
cemente●…
together
with
the
Spirit
of
tru●…
Christian
Moderation
!
Let
me
advise
thee
,
my
Child
said
she
,
to
hearken
to
old
Experience
;
If
thou
lovest
thy
life
,
an●…
desirest
to
see
good
dayes
,
refra●…
thy
Tongue
from
evil
,
and
thy
Li●…
from
speaking
guile
;
eschew
ev●…
and
do
good
,
seek
peace
and
ens●…
it
:
follow
Peace
with
all
men
an●…
Holiness
:
Be
sure
thou
follow
hi●…
who
said
,
learn
of
me
that
I
a●…
meek
and
lowly
:
Get
that
meek
an●…
quiet
Spirit
,
which
is
said
to
be
so
great
price
with
God
:
Hono●…
the
King
,
obey
Principallities
a●…
Powers
;
speak
evil
of
no
man
,
mu●…
less
of
Dignities
;
clothe
thy
s●…
with
humility
,
meekness
and
inofensiveness
;
and
be
sure
to
reme●…ber
thy
own
old
short
Lesson
,
I
thy
moderation
be
known
to
all
me●…
be
not
high-minded
,
envy
no
ma●…
greatness
;
study
to
be
quiet
,
and
do
thy
own
business
;
fly
,
as
t●…
most
dangerous
disease
,
and
most
infectious
Pest
to
a
State
,
that
itching
and
bewitching
evil
,
called
Polypragmosyne
,
in
our
Language
,
pragmaticalness
,
the
fatal
break-neck
of
many
and
many
:
Avoid
Contentions
,
detest
Schismes
;
conjure
down
by
faithful
prayer
,
self-denial
,
and
all
other
honest
means
,
that
evil
spirit
of
Division
,
Censoriousness
and
Superciliousness
:
Mark
them
that
cause
Divisions
and
avoid
them
:
Have
no
commerce
with
wickedness
,
and
the
rebellious
sons
of
Belial
,
those
of
a
fiery
and
turbulent
spirit
;
in
no
hand
meddle
with
them
who
are
given
to
innovations
and
change
;
pray
for
all
,
and
do
good
to
all
,
that
we
may
lead
a
quiet
and
peaceable
life
in
all
godliness
and
honesty
;
learn
to
bear
and
forbear
:
whosoever
saith
a
Confederacy
,
say
not
thou
a
Confederacy
,
but
let
integrity
and
uprightness
preserve
thee
;
remember
him
,
who
watched
over
himself
,
when
he
saw
others
watched
over
him
,
that
they
might
not
take
him
tardy
in
any
matter
of
the
Kingdom
:
and
who
then
will
harm
thee
,
if
thou
followest
that
which
is
good
?
But
if
thou
meetest
with
trouble
when
thou
doest
well
,
remember
who
said
,
it
is
better
,
if
the
will
of
God
be
so
,
to
suffer
for
well
doing
then
for
evil
,
and
whose
Legacy
that
was
,
In
the
world
you
shall
have
trouble
,
but
in
me
peace
:
But
be
sure
you
never
suffer
as
an
evil
doer
,
or
busie-body
in
other
mens
matters
:
then
trust
in
God
,
and
take
his
promise
,
and
Experiences
testimony
to
it
,
He
will
never
fail
thee
,
nor
forsake
thee
,
but
make
thy
righteousness
shine
as
the
light
,
and
thy
innocency
as
the
noon-day
:
Then
Moderation
thou
shalt
be
a
happy
Woman
,
blessed
in
thy
life
,
and
more
blessed
in
thy
death
;
blessed
in
thy
coming
into
the
world
,
and
more
blessed
in
thy
going
out
of
this
world
into
a
better
.
This
,
and
much
more
to
this
purpose
,
did
Experience
say
to
Moderation
,
and
the
like
precepts
she
gave
to
all
her
Schollers
.
And
when
Philodike
and
Philotheos
came
to
visit
her
at
any
time
,
she
would
be
lessoning
them
the
best
she
could
,
and
she
would
say
to
them
,
You
are
young
,
and
I
am
old
,
I
have
seen
many
changes
,
I
hope
you
will
see
an
happy
settlement
;
I
have
lived
to
see
an
end
of
Wars
,
I
hope
you
shall
never
see
an
end
of
Peace
;
I
have
lived
privately
,
being
a
Woman
,
and
of
many
sad
tryals
,
you
are
hopeful
and
likely
young
men
,
and
it
may
please
God
so
to
bless
you
,
as
that
you
may
be
called
forth
to
publick
Employment
,
and
if
ever
it
shall
please
God
to
raise
you
,
remember
you
are
not
born
for
your selves
:
Labour
to
be
as
good
as
great
,
more
to
please
God
then
men
;
more
to
mind
the
publick
good
then
your
private
interest
:
First
seek
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
the
righteousness
thereof
;
next
,
the
happiness
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
the
welfare
thereof
;
next
to
the
Peace
of
God
,
and
a
good
Conscience
,
prefer
the
Peace
of
Church
and
State
,
without
which
you
can
neither
have
nor
keep
the
former
;
nor
make
nor
cherish
Parties
.
Drive
on
no
Interest
or
Design
but
the
publick
good
;
contend
for
nothing
but
Piety
,
Sanctity
,
Unity
and
Charity
;
oppose
and
detest
nothing
so
much
as
Irreligiousness
,
Prophaness
,
Pride
,
Division
and
Revenge
;
fear
God
,
honour
your
Soveraign
,
love
your
Country
,
pray
for
the
Church
,
then
shall
you
be
blessed
of
God
,
protected
,
and
,
it
may
be
preferred
by
your
Prince
,
and
beloved
of
your
Country
:
Remember
that
old
never
failing
Oracle
,
that
Experience
hath
ever
seen
made
good
,
Them
that
honour
me
I
will
honour
,
and
they
that
despise
me
shall
be
lightly
esteemed
.
And
last
of
all
,
let
me
charge
you
,
in
whatsoever
place
you
may
be
set
,
that
you
never
forget
your
Sister
Moderation
;
whom
she
held
all
that
time
in
her
hand
,
and
there
we
now
leave
her
at
present
,
with
her

Aunt
Experience
together
,
we
will
return
to
Philodike
and
Philotheos
,
the
elder
Children
;
While
they
were
young
they
were
bred
together
under
the
same
Tutors
and
Teachers
:
Towardly
and
hopefu●…
Children
both
(
the
forwardest
Schollers
in
all
the
School
)
learning
the
same
Authors
,
and
performing
the
same
School-Exercises
,
and
profited
so
much
,
that
in
a
short
time
(
being
well
fitted
first
)
they
were
sent
to
the
University
,
where
both
were
taken
much
notice
of
for
their
extraordinary
diligence
,
early
rising
,
and
sometimes
late
sitting
up
at
their
study
,
and
their
great
proficiency
.
There
when
they
had
taken
their
several
Degrees
(
which
had
been
conferred
on
them
,
not
out
of
favour
,
but
merit
)
Philodike
removed
thence
first
,
to
the
Inns
of
Court
,
where
he
was
none
of
your
young
Gallants
,
that
brave
it
in
rich
Apparel
,
as
if
they
came
thither
meerly
to
see
and
learn
fashions
;
but
a
close
and
hard
Student
he
was
,
diligently
examining
and
enquiring
into
the
Reasons
and
Grounds
of
the
Law
,
and
diving
deeply
,
and
piercing
thorowly
into
the
more
knotty
Intricacies
and
profound
Mysteries
of
his
Profession
;
to
which
having
so
well
attained
,
he
was
called
to
the
Bar
,
and
in
short
time
became
famous
for
his
practice
;
a
most
courteous
and
affable
Gentleman
he
was
,
of
a
quick
apprehension
,
clear
head
,
firm
memory
,
free
expression
,
and
excellent
good
language
,
and
above
all
,
very
conscientious
as
to
his
Clyents
and
their
Fees
(
great
or
small
)
he
looked
not
so
much
at
Clyent
or
Fee
,
as
at
the
Cause
,
and
that
not
whose
it
was
,
but
what
it
was
.
He
was
afterwards
,
by
many
steps
,
advanced
to
be
Lord
Chief
Justice
in
the
Island
Feliciana
;
which
Dignity
he
did
more
honour
with
his
worthy
carriage
,
then
the
place
did
honour
him
;
there
was
he
commonly
styled
,
the
Incorrupt
Judge
,
and
the
Poor
mans
Advocate
.
And
after
that
,
his
Prince
taking
further
notice
of
him
,
he
was
taken
in
to
be
one
of
the
Privy
Councel
,
and
had
the
Great
Seal
committed
to
his
custody
,
and
so
he
continued
to
his
dying
day
;
living
in
the
high
favour
of
his
Prince
,
and
dying
in
the
love
and
honour
of
his
Country
.
Never
was
Great
Patriot
more
generally
lamented
,
and
his
Funeral
Hearse
more
loaden
with
Encomiastick
Elegies
,
then
when
he
was
buried
.

CHAP.
VII
.
Of
Moderation
her
Virtues
and
Character
,
her
two
Enemies
.
ANd
now
to
return
again
to
Moderation
:
Her
two
Brothers
,
while
living
,
being
of
such
eminent
Quality
(
as
you
have
heard
)
you
would
not
think
that
their
only
Sister
Moderation
could
want
preferment
,
or
sit
long
without
many
fair
offers
for
a
Great
Match
,
and
many
such
she
had
:
But
though
she
was
a
Lady
of
a
most
amiable
Aspect
,
and
compleatly
accomplished
,
yet
did
she
never
affect
Curiosity
in
her
Dress
,
nor
Costlines●
in
her
Apparel
(
though
very
decent
and
comely
;
)
and
upon
that
account
partly
,
some
of
the
Gallants
,
who
had
heard
much
of
her
fame
,
wisdom
and
vertues
,
and
had
begun
to
court
her
,
fell
off
again
,
and
could
give
no
other
reason
for
it
but
this
,
that
they
feared
she
had
so
much
of
her
Father
Gravity
in
her
,
as
was
not
sutable
to
their
youthful
and
frollick
humours
.
And
indeed
she
had
a
great
resemblance
both
of
Father
and
Mother
;
Her
Father
Gravity
she
resembled
to
the
life
in
her
composed
Countenance
and
Gesture
,
and
her
Mother
Sagacity
for
all
the
world
for
her
speech
,
prudence
and
temper
of
spirit
;
so
full
of
serious
consideration
,
and
so
judiciously
circumspect
,
as
not
to
take
up
every
thing
upon
vulgar
estimation
,
and
common
report
,
but
duly
examining
and
deliberately
weighing
every
thing
still
,
as
was
to
admiration
:
And
the
truth
is
,
her
two
Brethren
,
Philodike
and
Philotheos
,
even
in
their
highest
Dignities
,
held
it
not
below
them
to
advise
with
Moderation
,
but
in
difficult
cases
especially
,
they
would
be
sure
to
consult
with
her
,
because
she
had
had
more
of
her
breeding
with
their
Aunt
Experience
then
themselves
:
Neither
did
they
ever
repent
their
hearkening
to
her
,
for
they
still
found
,
by
Experience
,
that
her
counsel
was
alwayes
safest
;
she
was
a
Woman
of
a
deep
insight
into
matters
of
concernment
for
Church
or
State
,
and
was
never
known
to
be
byassed
by
interest
or
private
passion
(
as
most
an
end
others
are
)
but
alwayes
warily
foresaw
what
was
like
to
be
the
issue
of
things
,
and
accordingly
she
advised
what
was
most
for
publick
good
.
She
was
universally
beloved
of
all
,
above
any
mortal
Creature
,
and
had
no
Enemy
in
all
the
World
,
save
only
two
,
Extremity
and
Disobedience
.
Extremity
hated
her
with
all
her
heart
,
though
she
had
never
given
her
any
cause
:
And
Moderation
hated
Disobedience
with
a
perfect
hatred
(
and
blame
her
not
)
she
had
just
cause
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
Of
Extremity
,
her
Ped●g●ee
,
Character
,
and
Enmity
to
Moderation
.
EXtremity
was
descended
of
an
Ancient
and
Noble
Family
in
Cilicia
,
sometimes
a
famous
Province
of
the
old
Roman
Empire
;
Her
Father
Saul
the
second
,
sirnamed
Hyperzelotes
,
a
man
known
far
and
near
,
whose
education
had
been
choice
,
proficiency
incredible
,
parts
great
,
abilities
rare
,
travels
many
,
in
his
life
alwayes
irreprovable
,
and
in
his
way
very
devout
:
In
his
younger
dayes
he
had
been
of
a
hot
and
eager
spirit
,
a
Proto-persecutor
of
the
Proto-Martyr
Steven
,
but
as
he
grew
elder
he
grew
more
mild
and
moderate
;
and
as
he
changed
his
harsher
name
of
Saul
,
into
a
softer
,
Paul
,
so
was
he
quite
changed
in
his
disposition
from
Hyper-zelotes
to
Hyper-philadelphotes
,
and
was
turned
into
another
man
,
as
Saul
the
first
was
for
a
while
,
but
he
for
ever
.
He
had
been
once
of
that
Opinion
,
that
no
sort
of
men
ought
more
severely
to
be
Animadverted
into
,
and
dealt
with
,
then
such
,
who
in
the
least
dissented
from
the
Religion
and
Rites
of
their
Forefathers
;
and
would
but
Authority
pass
Acts
severe
enough
for
suppression
of
such
by
Banishment
,
Bonds
,
Imprisonment
,
or
death
,
he
would
be
the
man
that
would
see
them
put
in
execution
,
which
he
also
did
,
judging
it
the
best
service
could
be
done
to
God
,
or
his
Church
;
thereupon
he
haled
many
into
Prisons
,
and
compelled
them
to
abjure
,
recant
and
blaspheme
,
or
suffer
and
dye
.
But
after
he
was
(
I
say
)
quite
of
another
mind
,
and
became
the
most
complacent
and
complying
Person
in
the
world
,
and
held
with
Moderation
as
much
as
any
:
Now
(
he
said
)
what
was
his
gain
before
was
now
his
loss
,
and
what
he
formerly
esteemed
his
glory
,
he
looked
on
as
his
shame
:
Circumcision
was
no
more
with
him
now
then
Uncircumcision
;
both
nothing
to
the
new
Creature
,
to
faith
in
Christ
,
to
the
keeping
of
the
Commandements
of
God
.
He
could
condescend
and
comply
so
far
now
,
as
to
be
made
all
things
to
all
men
,
so
it
were
to
further
the
salvation
of
any
.
His
Daughter
Extremity
was
begotten
by
him
in
his
younger
years
,
as
he
was
travelling
to
Damascus
,
before
he
had
been
better
catechised
and
instructed
by
Ananias
.
The
younger
dayes
of
the
Daughter
,
were
an
imitation
of
the
Fathers
younger
dayes
,
who
observing
,
in
those
unsettled
times
that
had
been
in
Feliciana
,
about
that
time
when
there
was
no
King
in
Israel
,
and
every
man
did
what
was
right
in
his
own
eyes
,
that
many
distempered
Humours
,
even
to
a
plain
Delirium
,
if
not
Distraction
,
had
pestered
both
Church
and
State
,
thought
it
high
time
to
awaken
Authority
,
to
revive
former
severity
,
with
some
further
addition
too
,
to
curb
Moderation
;
and
being
passionately
zealous
to
prevent
any
Rupture
in
the
Church
,
before
many
other
Disorders
in
the
State
,
would
have
all
brought
into
an
exact
Uniformity
.
It
fell
out
also
unhappily
,
and
much
to
the
prejudice
of
Moderation
,
that
some
of
those
Sons
of
Disobedience
,
and
Grand-children
of
Belial
,
had
much
about
that
time
,
or
not
long
before
,
broke
out
into
an
open
Rebellion
,
and
made
seditious
Commotions
,
when
all
were
in
expectation
of
settlement
in
the
Island
;
and
not
long
after
a
bloudy
War
was
commenced
,
between
that
Island
and
some
other
potent
Neighbours
in
the
adjacent
Islands
:
And
Extremity
,
zealously
watchful
,
and
prudently
sollicitous
,
to
preserve
common
Peace
at
home
,
held
a
suspitious
eye
over
Moderation
and
all
her
Actions
,
as
mistrusting
she
had
underhand
countenanced
the
former
,
or
corresponded
with
the
latter
;
both
which
(
God
knows
)
she
was
far
enough
from
,
constantly
praying
for
publick
Peace
,
and
the
prosperity
of
the
Church
and
State
;
yet
could
not
Innocency
(
as
yet
unknown
)
secure
poor
Moderation
from
many
a
harsh
Censure
and
bitter
Taunt
.
Then
would
Extremity
twit
Moderation
,
and
charge
her
with
disaffection
,
and
often
hit
her
in
the
teeth
with
the
miscarriages
of
others
,
that
she
had
nothing
to
do
withall
;
and
would
be
saying
,
you
must
go
a
way
by
your selves
,
and
be
wiser
then
all
the
world
;
and
had
I
power
in
my
hands
,
said
some
(
which
was
well
they
had
not
)
I
would
make
Moderation
pack
,
or
change
her
note
.
But
afterwards
,
to
the
great
satisfaction
of
all
,
upon
a
through
observation
,
(
I
will
not
say
a
better
information
)
Extremities
prejudice
against
Moderation
was
abated
,
and
afterwards
became
perfect
Friends
,
as
we
shall
say
anon
.

DIsobedience
was
the

Moderation
had
,
and
her
indeed
did
she
as

hate
as
Extremity
did
her
,
and
much

,
for
her
many
wicked
pranks

practises
against
both
Church

State

she
was
the
Daughter
of

Belial
,
and
that

woman
;
she
was
of
a

and
subtle
wit
,
mis-shapen
countenance
,
monstrous
in
her
birth
(
being

old
Incendiary
and
head
of
a
seditious
Crew
;
an●…
after
he
had
lost
his
head
,
she
marrie●…
with
Elymas
the
Sorcerer
,
who
deal
with
the
black
Art
,
an
utter
enemy
t●…
all
Righteousness
,
and
as
full
of
al●…
subtilty

malice
and
wickedness
,
as
hi●…
Brethren
the
Jesuites
could
wish
,
o●…
his
Father
Beelzebub
could
make
him
and
he
was
fittest
for
her
,
for
it
w●
shrewdly
suspected
,
they
had
bee●…
naught
together
before
.
She
was
a
Woman
too
too
fruitful
,
and
had
by
both
her
Husbands
a
many
lewd
,
vicious
,
and
graceless
Children
.
Her
first
Husband
openly
taught
the
Art
,
and
invented
the
Instruments
of
Rebellion
,
was
the
first
that
blew
a
Trumpet
of
Sedition
against
his
Soveraign
;
and
it
is
thought
she
set
him
on
:
She
had
instructed
her
Children
in
all
the
wayes
of
Impiety
and
Disobedience
;
a
Roman
Catholick
she
was
,
and
therefore
sent
some
of
her
Children
beyond-sea
;
some
were
Students
at
Doway
,
some
at
Lovayn
,
and
one
she
sent
to
John
of
Leyden's
Colledge
at
Munster
:
They
were
great
Proficients
all
in
the
Arts
,
and
very
forward
to
propagate
those
Principles
taught
by
the
Hebrew
Doctor
Abaddon
,
the
Greek
Professor
Apollyon
,
and
the
Latine
Dictator
Filius
Perditionis
;
for
some
of
them
understood
all
Languages
;
men
of
working
brains
and
restless
spirits
;
a
viperous
Generation
,
tearing
out
the
bowels
of
whatsoever
Nation
bred
them
;
skilful
to
divide
,
destroy
and
supplant
;
the
only
Enemies
to
Monarchy
and
publick
Peace
;
they
have
set
their
heads
and
their
Agents
awork
to
destroy
Kings
,
blow
up
Parliaments
,
burn
Cities
,
lay
waste
Churches
,
to
divide
between
Prince
and
people
,
to
make
or
increase
parties
,
and
their
last
end
is
to
bring
in
the
Abomination
of
Desolation
.
The
Children
by
the
later
Husband
were
the
more
by
far
,
and
of
several
Complexions
and
Dispositions
,
as
i●…
they
had
not
been
by
the
same
Father
and
Mother
;
yet
were
they
their
natural
Children
,
and
had
somewhat
o●…
both
in
them
,
for
both
were
notorious
for
all
or
any
manner
of
wickedness
imaginable
,
neither
barrel
better
Herring
;
and
the
Children
like
them
,
nothing
came
amiss
to
them
,
so
it
were
bad
enough
;
such
a
Generation
fo●
swearing
,
staring
,
drinking
,
whoring
,
ranting
,
roaring
,
quarrelling
,
fighting
,
filching
,
stealing
,
cutting
of
Purses
,
and
cutting
of
Throats
,
as
was
not
in
the
world
again
,
fearing
nor
God
nor
man
,
slighting
Laws
,
Statutes
Penalties
,
Stocks
,
Pillory
,
Prison
▪
Gallows
,
Death
,
and
Hell
too
,
as
it
they
had
been
the
Spawn
of
the
old
Leviathan
,
of
whom
it
is
said
,
he
is
made
without
fear
;
the
Mother
,
for
the
Childrens
sake
,
was
called
Mystical
Babylon
,
the
Mother
of
whoredoms
and
all
abominations
in
the
earth
.
Some
of
her
Children
are
professed
Atheists
,
and
deriders
of
all
Religion
,
of
the
Sadducean
Heard
,
believing
nor
Angel
,
nor
Spirit
,
nor
Heaven
,
nor
Hell
,
regarding
nor
Law
nor
Gospel
:
Some
again
she
hath
taught
and
trained
up
to
be
the
Inventers
of
new
coined
Oaths
,
prodigious
Blasphemies
,
and
worse
then
hellish
Execrations
,
and
Preterplu-Satanical
Imprecations
,
out-daring
Gods
Justice
and
Patience
,
and
dastarding
Satan
himself
,
yea
a
whole
Legion
of
Devils
,
not
one
of
them
once
saying
Dammee
,
but
all
Let
us

,
I
beseech
thee
torment
us
not
.
Sure
enough
their
damnation
lingreth
not
,
who
draw
sin
thus
with
Cords
,
and
damnation
with
Cart-ropes
,
and
say
,
Let
the
most
High
make
speed
,
that
we
may
see
him
,
and
make
hast
,
that
we
may
know
what
Hell
is
▪
This
I
know
,
that

these
wretched
Souls

excoriated

Others
again
are
the
Masters
and
Professors
of
the
Liberal
Science
o●…
Carowsing
,
and
prescribe
the
rules
and
method
of
drinking
round
by

and
measure
,
till
it
be
without
either
number
or

.
Others
are
devising
new
Games
at
Cards
and
Dice
,
and
new
wayes
of
cheating
by
them
.
Out
of
this
Family
,
as
once
out
of
tha●…
monstrous
Palladian
Beast
,
came
ou●…
t●ose
that
set
Troynovant
afire
;
or
out
of
this
Pit
came
those
swarms
of
Locusts
,
Drunkards
,
Gamesters
,
Whorers
,
Epicures
,
Luxurious
and
Riotous
persons
,
who
darken
the
glory
of
Feliciana
,
and
besides
the
devouring
their
own
patrimonies
,
devour
the
fat
and
the
best
fruits
and
wealth
of
our
Land
.
All
these
called
Disobedience
Mother
,
and
were
looked
upon
as
hers
by
all
that
knew
them
,
having
the
lively
Image
of
the
Beast
in
their
foreheads
;
others
had
it
in
their
right
hand
,
set
on
by
the
right
hand
of
Justice
;
others
had
it
in
their
Noses
,
by
drinking
too
freely
of
Madam
Porne's
Cup
;
and
others
had
a
brand
all
their
Face
over
,
by
tasting
too
oft
of
their
Sister
Crapula's
Bowl
;
but
all
spake
one
Language
,
which
was
the
Language
of
the
Beast
(
used
by
no
Nation
,
Civil
or
Barbarous
,
but
themselves
)
every
word
an
Oath
,
or
a
Curse
,
or
prophane
Scoffe
and
Jest
at
Scripture
and
Piety
,
or
a
Belch
of
Baudery
,
which
some
called
a
corrupt
or
bastard
Hellenish
,
but
others
,
who
had
more
understanding
,
said
,
it
was
pure
and
perfect
Hellish
Language
.
I
should
have
told
you
also
,
that
Disobedience
,
after
her
second
marriage
,
kept
a
common
Inn
(
otherwise
a
common
Stews
.
)
And
as
Experience
,
Moderation's
Aunt
and
best
Friend
,
kept
her
School
,
so
did
Disobedience
,
her
worst
Enemy
,
set
up
a
School
to
increase
her
comings
in
;
but
with
this
difference
,
that
all
were
made
the
better
(
even
the
worst
)
that
came
under
her
hands
;
so
all
were
the
worse
(
even
the
best
)
that
came
under
the
hands
of
Disobedience
.
Many
a
fair
estate
was
soon
made
away
there
,
and
many
a
hopeful
person
utterly
undone
and
quite
marred
,
that
came
to
be
acquainted
with
her
,
or
any
of
hers
.
She
had
six
Daughters
,
to
whom
she
committed
the
carrying
on
of
her
Trade
.
The
Eldest
was
Madam
Porne
,
a
Woman
of
person
proper
and
handsom
enough
,
but
otherwise
more
common
then
proper
,
mighty
gallant
in
her
Dress
and
Apparel
.
The
Second
Donna
Spatalosa
,
a
very
lascivious
Wanton
and
inticing
Creature
.
The
Third
Mistriss
Crapula
,
a
fowl
Beast
,
all
Belly
and
Guts
.
The
Fourth
Bold
Anaideia
,
a
confident
and
brazen-fac'd
Slut
,
a
Shameless
and
impudent
Carryon
.
The
Fift
Donna
Olympia
,
lately
come
from
the
Holy
Mother-See
,
where
she
had
practised
the
same
Art
,
with
much
success
,
for
many
years
.
The
youngest
Damosilla
Blandula
,
a
mighty
fair-tongued
,
smiling
,
and
bewitching
Creature
.
They
lived
all
under
the
same
Roof
,
and
had
their
several
Offices
,
their
Lodgings
are
within
,
or
over
one
another
.
Blandula
,
the
youngest
,
was
to
sit
at
the
door
,
and
watch
and
espy
who
went
by
,
and
what
Passengers
wer●
fit
to
be
called
in
;
them
would
she
invite
to
come
and
make
choice
of
a
Room
,
and
tell
them
what
Entertainment
was
to
be
had
in
the
House
:
Being
entered
,
she
conveys
them
presently
into
Donna
Olympia's
Lodging
,
who
,
for
her self
,
was
richly
adorned
with
Jewels
taken
out
of
the
Triple
Crown
,
and
her
Room
was
hung
with
the
rich
Hangings
she
had
brought
out
of
the
Vatican
.
After
a
short
stay
there
,
and
a
Collation
given
,
and
the
Curiosities
viewed
and
looked
over
(
that
came
from
beyond
Sea
)
among
which
were
certain
Beads
,
and
Medals
,
and
some
Images
of
our
Lady
and
other
Saints
,
and
a
fair
Crucifix
,
she
desires
them
to
go
up
stairs
to
Mistriss
Anaideia's
Lodgings
;
Her
they
found
at
her
Glass
,
curiously
curling
her
Locks
,
and
spotting
her
Face
,
with
her
naked
Breasts
,
and
her
Chamber
all
round
hung
with
many
a
lascivious
Picture
.
If
then
any
one
startled
,
and
thought
they
had
seen
enough
,
and
craved
leave
to
return
,
they
would
all
three
tell
them
,
there
was
more
to
be
seen
above
,
and
they
must
not
refuse
to
go
up
one
short
pair
of
Stairs
and
taste
of
their
Sister
Crapula's
Cup
;
It
was
a
Gilt
Bole
of
old
and
clear
Circe
,
a
Liquor
,
whosoever
once
tasted
was
turned
into
a
Swine
at
the
second
draught
;
then
they
would
of
themselves
desire
to
go
on
and
see
all
,
and
to
behold
Donna
Spatalosa
;
She
was
preparing
Bracelets
made
of
her
hair
,
and
mixing
Potions
for
Guests
,
that
she
had
expected
,
and
she
came
boldly
and
saluted
them
,
offering
them
the
courtesie
of
the
House
;
and
tells
them
,
they
must
not
refuse
to
visit
their
eldest
Sister
,
Madam
Porne
,
whose
Room
would
give
them
more
content
,
then
all
they
had
yet
seen
;
There
sat
she
on
a
stately
Couch
,
in
rich
array
of
Silk
and
Crimson
Satin
,
all
daubed
with
broad
Gold-lace
;
her
Face
new
painted
;
she
was
old
and
wrinkled
,
but
her
paint
made
her
look
as
fair
as
a
Rose
and
a
mixture
of
Lilly
;
a
fair
Room
it
was
indeed
,
hung
with
the
richest
Arras
;
and
you
would
wonder
to
see
what
a
Cupboard
was
there
of
Plate
,
and
what
a
fair
Prospect
into
all
the
Fields
and
Gardens
round
about
:
She
presented
them
by
the
hands
of
her
waiting
Gentlewoman
Eutrapeleia
,
a
smiling
,
merry
and
witty
young
Woman
(
all
Jests
and
mirth
)
with
a
Venus
Glass
of
Wine
,
and
some
costly
Sweet-meats
:
But
under
the
Balcony
was
a
close
Trap-door
(
discerned
by
few
)
over
a
deep
Ditch
and
narrow
Pit
,
called
Avernus
,
into
which
,
after
a
few
short
Amorous
Embraces
,
she
was
wont
to
throw
her
Guests
headlong
,
with
the
help
of
her
Sisters
,
after
they
had
first
stript
them
of
all
they
had
about
them
,
and
they
were
never
heard
of
more
:
Few
,
or
none
,
that
ever
I
heard
of
,
that
came
once
into
Madam
Porne's
Clutches
,
ever
came
back
again
,
or
were
seen
alive
,
but
sometimes
a
naked
Corps
was
seen
floating
on
the
top
of
the
Ditch
:
Only
one
escaped
once
,
as
Lot
out
of
Sodom
,
to
make
the
relation
of
their
Entertainment
;
and
he
said
,
it
was
almost
as
great
a
miracle
as
his
was
;
for
he
was
fain
to
steal
out
at
a
backdoor
,
which
he
found
locked
,
but
putting
forth
all
his
strength
,
he
burst
it
open
,
and
then
came
down
a
narrow
pair
of
Stairs
,
very
steep
and
dark
,
which
few
were
able
to
find
,
and
so
got
away
,
resolving
never
to
come
more
there
;
for
said
he
,
had
I
stayed
longer
,
or
attempted
to
go
back
the
same
way
I
came
,
I
had
certainly
been
snapt
:
He
would
ever
after
call
them
,
the
six
fatal
Sisters
,
and
would
warn
all
his
Acquaintance
not
to
come
near
them
.
But
enough
,
and
too
much
of
Disobedience
,
and
I
fear
I
have
troubled
the
Reader
,
with
this
long
Discourse
of
her
and
her
Children
,
and
their
wicked
pranks
;
and
no
wonder
,
for
it
is
this
Disobedience
that
hath
troubled
all
the
World
,
troubled
both
God
and
Man
.
To
return
therefore
to
Moderation
;
the
wayes
both
of
the
one
and
other
Litter
she
could
not
chuse
but
detest
;
and
for
the
latter
breed
,
she
never
had
so
much
as
her
name
called
in
question
to
favour
any
of
them
;
but
when
any
of
the
former
Race
broke
out
into
Rebellion
,
she
could
not
help
it
;
but
watchful
and
jealous
Extremity
would
have
some
hard
thoughts
of
her
,
as
if
she
had
been
an
Abettor
,
whereas
she
was
never
so
much
as
privy
to
any
of
their
Designs
,
and
whensoever
she
came
to
hear
of
them
,
was
as
forward
as
any
to
declare
against
them
,
and
to
give
her
best
assistance
to
suppress
them
;
and
whensoever
any
of
the
Sons
of
Rebellion
and
Disobedience
were
taken
,
and
did
receive
condign
punishment
,
she
did
heartily
rejoyce
,
as
having
no
such
enemies
of
her
own
in
that
defiance
,
as
those
that
were
enemies
to
God
,
to
the
King
,
to
Religion
,
and
to
her
Country
.
CHAP.
X.
Of
the
Pedigree
and
Progeny
of
Politicus
,
no
great
friend
to
Moderation
.
I
Could
give
you
a
Relation
of
a
third
Person
also
,
that
lived
in
the
midway
between
Extremity
and
Moderation
,
who
was
no
sure
friend
to
Moderation
,
yet
can
I
not
call
him
an
enemy
neither
.
His
name
Politicus
;
and
a
meer
Politician
he
was
;
no
body
could
tell
of
what
Religion
he
was
,
neither
fish
nor
flesh
;
as
he
loved
not
Moderation
,
so
he
cared
not
for
Extremity
;
he
hated
Disobedience
indeed
to
the
very
death
,
and
was
for
that
much
to
be
commended
.
He
came
of
the
Ancient
Roman
Race
,
Gallio
his
Grand-father
,
and
Portius
Festus
his
near
Alliance
:
Politicus
was
no
bad
Member
in
the
Commonwealth
,
though
none
of
the
greatest
Friends
to
the
Church
nor
Churchmen
,
at
whose
Revenues
he
would
sometime
have
a
fling
;
no
Recusant
,
much
less
Phanatick
;
scarce
good
Protestant
,
but
of
the
Epicene
Gender
.
He
was
a
conformable
,
quiet
and
peaceable
Subject
,
and
many
wayes
useful
and
serviceable
,
being
an
extreme
good
natured
man
,
ever
loyal
to
his
Prince
,
and
true
to
his
Country
.
In
times
of
Peace
he
had
a
Commission
for
the
Peace
,
and
was
in
Authority
,
and
singular
good
service
he
did
,
and
kept
his
Country
in
quiet
and
good
order
,
executing
Justice
between
man
&
man
,
&
now
&
then
he
would
put
down
some
notorious
ill
Alehouse
.
In
time
of
War
he
had
a
Command
,
and
kept
his
Souldiers
in
good
discipline
,
from
Robbing
and
Plundering
,
as
severe
as
Tamerlane
:
But
he
never
troubled
his
head
about

If
God
Almighty
had
created
man
for
no
higher
end
,
then
to
live
in
Civil
Society
,
and
to
mind
the
things
of
this
inferiour
world
,
and
this
present
life
,
there
had
been
no
better
man
then
Politicus
.
But
in
as
much
as
man
,
created
in
the
Image
of
God
,
hath
(
as
a
more
excellent
nature
and
being
then
other
Creatures
,
and
more
noble
Endowments
,
so
)
a
more
excellent
and
higher
end
,
viz.
to
seek
,
know
,
serve
and
worship
God
,
and
at
last
come
to
enjoy
him
,
and
have
Communion
with
him
;
and
that
Religion
and
true
Piety
is
the
only
way
and
means
to
attain
that
end
,
and
that
there
is
another
Country
to
be
looked
for
after
this
,
He
was
much
to
blame
for
his
coldness
and
indifferency
in
matters
of
Religion
;
many
thought
him
little
better
then
an
Atheist
in
his
heart
,
though
his
life
not
much
faulty
.
He
never
exprest
much
zeal
or
regard
to
Piety
,
nor
was
he
ever
known
to
go
to
prayers
by
himself
,
nor
much
to
look
into
his
Bible
:
A
piece
of
Tacitus
,
or
Livy
,
or
Machiavel
,
he
would
sometimes
discourse
of
,
and
their
Observations
he
did
seem
to
rellish
,
as
well
as
any
in
the
Books
of
Moses
and
the
Prophets
:
And
for
Seneca
,
and
his
Epistles
of
Morality
,
he
did
,
in
his
Judgment
,
prefer
them
above
,
and
did
take
more
delight
to
read
them
,
then
all
Saint
Paul's
Epistles
of
Divinity
.
Several
Children
he
had
,
both
Sons
and
Daughters
:
His
Sons
,
he
gave
them
all
a
taste
of
good
Lite●…
ature
,
and
gave
them
the
breeding
●…
nd
education
which
was
fit
for
Gen●…
lemen
.
His
eldest
Son
was
bred
a
Courtier
,
his
name
Honorius
.
The
second
a
Souldier
,
called
Captain
Eupolemus
.
The
third
a
Physitian
,
who
travelled
France
and
Italy
,
and
took
his
D●gree
at
Padua
,
his
name
Temerarius
.
A
fourth
he
bred
a
Merchant
,
his
name
Do●osus
.
And
the
youngest
he
made
a
Scholler
▪
and
a
vain
in
Poetry
he
had
,
his
n●me
Gelasius
,
a
marvellous
witty
and
p●e●sant
Gentleman
he
was
,
full
of
his
Jocues
and
merry
Conceits
,
that
he
made
all
the
Company

whereev●r
he
came
.
Civil
Gentleme●…
all
,
but
of
the
Fathers
Religion
.
His
eldest
Daughter
he
named
H●…nora
,
her
great
Grand-mother
w●…
a
Lady
of
Honour
to
Queen
Bernice
.
And
her
Sister
Phantasia
was
waiting
Lady
to
her
Highness
Drusilla
,
much
about
the
same
time
,
in
remembrance
of
whom
he
called
his
second
Daughter
by
her
name
.
And
the
third
was
Madam
Eulalia
;
she
could
sing
and
dance
rarely
well
,
and
had
her
French
and
Italian
very
perfect
,
and
was
well
read
in
forreign
Histori●s
,
yet
had
never
read
the
New
Testament
over
twice
in
all
her
life
,
nor
the
Old
Testament
so
much
as
once
.
Eudoxia
,
the
youngest
,
was
the
tallest
and
hansomest
Woman
of
them
all
;
an
absolute
Beauty
,
and
of
so
rare
a
temper
you
could
never
anger
her
,
and
of
so
grac●ful
a
deport
,
that
she
took
all
persons
:
H●d
you
seen
her
at
Church
,
which
was
but
seldome
,
you
would
think
you
saw
a
Saint
;
would
you
be
seri●us
at
other
times
,
she
would
be
serious
;
would
you
be
pleasant
,
she
would
be
as
facetious
.
Goodly
Ladies
they
were
indeed
all
four
,
and
as
great
Gallants
as
were
either
in
Court
or
City
:
But
to
tell
you
how
they
spent
their
time
,
and
what
was
their
employment
,
would
be
a
strange
story
to
tell
our
Grandmothers
,
were
they
alive
again
,
and
much
more
strange
to
the
old
Christian
Ladies
that
lived
longer
before
them
:
Their
morning
was
all
taken
up
with
Dressing
,
Painting
,
Powdering
:
The
afternoon
usually
spent
in
Visits
,
or
a
Play-house
;
and
at
night
a
Pack
of
Cards
:
These
were
the
Books
they
were
most
read
in
,
and
had
them
more
in
their
hands
,
then
either
Bible
,
Sermon
,
or
Prayer-book
;
and
indeed
all
of
them
did
more
frequent
the
Play-house
then
their
Parish-Church
,
the
Prayer-house
,
and
were
more
attentive
there
then
here
:
Twice
or
thrice
a
moneth
was
fair
to
come
to
Church
;
but
at
a
Play
three
or
four
times
a
week
was
ordinary
:
To
Church
they
came
to
see
and
to
be
seen
,
and
that
usually
when
Sermon
or
Prayers
were
half
ended
;
but
to
the
Play-house
they
went
to
learn
,
and
came
in
with
the
first
,
and
staid
it
out
without
tediousness
,
as
never
thinking
a
Grace
or
Sermon
too
short
,
or
a
Play
too
long
.
Rabbi
Ben-Johnson
was
highly
in
their
Books
,
and
they
more
versed
in
his
Writings
,
then
either
Rabbi
Ben-Syrach
,
or
Rabbi
Solomon
.
But
in
as
much
as
Politicus
was
no
profest
Enemy
to
Moderation
,
but
wisht
her
as
well
as
he
did
Extremity
(
he
cared
for
them
much
alike
)
we
will
let
him
go
,
wishing
that
the
State
may
never
have
cause
to
fear
any
Enemy
more
,
nor
the
Church
and
Religion
need
a
Friend
less
.

Of
the
Marriage
of
Moderation
,
her
two
Husbands
,
and
Children
by
them
.
NOw
to
return
to
the
Marriage
of
Moderation
.
Her
Brother
Philodike
would
fain
have
brought
her
to
Court
,
and
have
her
married
to
one
of
his
own
Rank
,
a
Privy
Counsellor
of
State
,
as
knowing
full
well
,
how
much
more
good
he
might
do
,
being
assisted
by
such
another
Privy
Counsellor
in
his
own
Bosom
.
But
her
Brother
Philotheos
was
earnest
for
a
Church-man
,
his
old
Acquaintance
,
bred
with
him
in
the
same
Colledge
,
and
his
Chamber-fellow
(
somewhat
his
Junior
)
Doctor
Eusebius
,
and
now
also
settled
near
him
in
a
competent
Living
;
a
Grave
and
Reverend
Minister
he
was
as
any
in
all
the
Country
,
an
Orthodox
and
able
Divine
;
to
him
the
motion
was
no
sooner
made
by
the
Brother
,
but
he
presently
embraced
it
,
both
in
respect
of
her
singular
Vertues
,
and
of
the
Allyance
to
her
Brethren
.
Soon
after
they
were
married
,
and
most
happily
they
lived
,
beloved
of
all
the
Parish
,
and
honoured
of
all
that
knew
them
(
Gentry
,
Clergy
,
and
others
;
)
but
long
she
enjoyed
not
that
happiness
,
for
her
Husband
,
being
a
sickly
man
,
and
worn
out
with
his
Studies
and
painfulness
in
preaching
,
was
taken
away
,
to
her
great
loss
,
and
grief
of
the
Country
,
and
she
left
a
sad
Widdow
,
big
with
Child
,
of
which
she
was
after
delivered
,
whom
she
called
Settlement
;
as
sweet
and
hopeful
Child
as
ever
Woman
bare
,
had
he
lived
,
but
he
dyed
in
his
Cradle
.
After
some
good
space
of
time
,
her
Brother
Philodike
desired
she
might
be
married
to
a
Statesman
;
and
he
was
intimate
with
an
Honourable
Privy
Counsellor
,
whose
name
was
Philodemus
;
to
him
be
recommended
his
Sister
,
and
to
him
she
was
married
,
to
his
great
contentment
,
and
of
all
the
Court
besides
:
He
lived
not
long
with
her
neither
,
being
aged
when
he
married
her
,
and
left
her
with
child
again
of
Twins
,
who
only
lived
to
be
christened
:
They
were
two
Sisters
,
as
lovely
Babes
as
was
ever
lookt
on
,
their
names
,
Peace
and
Plenty
,
who
dyed
soon
after
their
Father
.

Of
the
Trouble

Grief
of
Moderation

Her
last
Will

Her
Heir
:
Epitaph
.
ANd
being
now
a
Widow
again
,
as
seldom
one
Cross
or
grief
comes
alone
,
both
her
Husbands
,
Eusebius
and
Philodemus
(
and
the
Children
by
them
)
being
dead
,
who
would
suffer
no
injury
to
be
done
her
while
they
lived
,
they
so
dearly
loved
her
.
It
fell
out
afterwards
,
that
some
of
her
envious
Neighbours
,
who
bare
her
no
good
will
before
,
though
she
never
did
them
the
least
wrong
,
would
be
offering
her
many
an
affront
,
and
ready
to
pick
any
Quarrrel
with
her
.
A
poor
Widdow
is
ever
like
the
gap
broken
in
the
hedge
,
soon
trodden
down
;
and
old
Friends
now
were
grown
Strangers
,
and
,
which
went
nearest
to
her
heart
,
her
two
Brethren
,
who
were
wont
formerly
to
support
and
countenance
her
in
every
thing
,
that
was
just
and
reasonable
,
were
now
under
a
Cloud
:
Philodike
for
appearing
in
a
Cause
,
wherein
Innocency
had
been
opprest
had
he
been
silent
(
as
his
Grand-father
Joseph
and
his
Uncle
Nicodemus
had
done
before
him
)
incurred
the
displeasure
of
some
great
Ones
,
who
procured
his
troubles
;
and
Philotheos
for
being
now
and
then
some●hat
plain
,
and
a
litt●●
smart
in
an
Use
of
Reproof
;
at
both
which
she
was
inwardly
grieved
in
her
mind
(
and
they
being
under
restraint
,
or
else
keeping
their
Chamber
by
reason
of
their
Age
and
Infirmities
)
though
she
had
learned
to
endure
any
thing
,
and
was
never
forward
to
stir
or
move
in
her
own
private
Cause
;
yet
when
she
saw
her
two
Brethren
concerned
in
point
of
their
Honour
and
Reputation
,
and
th●
Publick
more
in
point
of
welfar●
,
she
could
not
for
her
life
sit
still
,
bu●
presents
an
humble
and
modest
Petition
in
their
behalf
,
which
was
but
this
,
that
they
might
come
to
a
fair
hearing
;
and
when
matters
should
be
rightly
understood
,
if
they
were
found
Offenders
,
she
desired
no
favour
for
them
;
she
desired
no
more
,
and
expected
,
at
least
,
she
might
have
been
called
in
,
and
spoken
to
,
or
her
Petition
read
howsoever
:
But
when
no
admittance
could
be
obtained
for
Moderation
,
and
instead
thereof
Taunts
and
Reproaches
sent
after
,
and
told
withall
,
that
if
she
moved
any
further
she
should
be
secured
(
her
old
friend
Extremity
was
then
Doorkeeper
,
and
to
be
sure
would
do
he●
no
good
office
,
and
she
it
was
gave
th●
answer
,
and
it
is
thought
of
her
ow●
head
:
)
Moderation
took
it
so
〈◇〉
heart
,
that
she
never
joyed
her
se●
after
,
nor
had
any
delight
to
go
abroad
,
but
lived
retired
in
her
private
Lodgings
,
and
gave
her self
to
her
Devotions
,
and
not
long
after
departed
this
life
.
The
news
whereof
no
sooner
came
to
the
Brothers
hearing
,
but
it
struck
them
to
the
very
heart
,
that
they
both
of
them
departed
the
self-same
day
,
not
willing
to
out-live
their
Sister
Moderation
.
Never
was
the
like
heard
of
by
all
Relation
,
that
two
Brothers
and
Sister
should
all
three
dye
in
one
day
(
but
they
had
loved
most
entirely
,
as
if
they
all
had
but
one
Soul
)
and
they
were
all
three
buried
together
in
the
same
Grave
,
the
same
Grave
it
was
,
wherein
Eusebius
and
Philodemus
,
the
two
Husbands
,
and
Settlement
the
Son
,
and
Peace
and
Plenty
the
Daughters
of
Moderation
,
had
been
laid
before
.
Now
was
both
Court
,
City
and
Country
full
of
Lamentations
for
the
death
of
three
such
eminent
Persons
;
neither
were
the
two
Brethren
more
lamented
,
then
was
sweet
and
all-contenting
all-pleasing
Moderation
;
only
Extremi●y
rejoyced
extreamly
at
the
death
of
Moderation
;
and
D●sobedience
rejoyced
as
much
at
the
death
of
Philodike
and
Philotheos
.
Philodike
was
most
lamented
at
Court
by
the
Grandees
,
Sage
Statesmen
and
Patriots
,
for
his
grave
advice
and
equal
administration
of
Justice
,
whereby
the
general
Peace
of
Feliciana
was
preserved
.
Philotheos
was
most
lamented
by
the
Clergy
,
and
such
as
were
learned
,
and
able
to
judge
of
his
Elaborate
Tracts
,
his
Solid
and
Learned
Sermons
,
and
his
great
Prudence
in
Ecclesiastical
Affairs
,
whereby
the
Cause
of
Religion
,
and
the
Peace
and
Honour
of
the
Church
,
had
been
maintained
and
preserved
.
But
as
their
names
were
above
the
understanding
,
so
was
their
worth
above
the
cognizance
of
the
Vulgar
.
But
as
for
Moderation
,
all
knew
what
she
was
well
enough
;
all
Feliciana
had
heard
and
talked
much
of
her
all
the
Island
over
;
as
good
a
Subject
as
could
live
under
a
Prince
,
a
true
Daughter
of
the
Church
,
and
a
Mother
in
Israel
;
and
bewailed
she
was
both
in
Court
,
City
and
Country
,
by
Man
,
Woman
and
Child
,
young
and
old
,
simple
and
gentle
,
because
all
understood
she
had
no
interest
but
the
publick
good
,
and
desired
favour
and
protection
only
for
such
,
as
should
be
judged
worthy
to
live
in
any
well-governed
State
in
the
World
:
And
the
more
lamented
she
was
,
because
she
dyed
without
Issue
,
and
left
none
of
her
name
behind
;
yet
being
sick
,
and
knowing
she
was
now
near
her
end
,
she
made
her
Will
,
and
sent
for
a
Kinswoman
of
hers
,
named
Repentance
(
a
Kinswoman
once
removed
)
younger
sister
to
Consideration
,
dead
before
,
and
her
she
made
her
adopted
Child
,
and
sole
Heir
and
Executrix
;
who
so
sadly
took
her
death
,
that
she
was
not
only
Close
Mourner
at
the
Funeral
,
but
went
in
mourning
to
her
dying
day
,
and
could
never
get
Moderation
(
dear
Moderation
)
out
of
her
mind
.
Never
was
the
Lady
Dorcas
more
lamented
,
and
her
recovery
more
desired
then
was
this
Ladies
:
And
very
remarkable
it
is
,
though
it
be
against
the
Religion
professed
in
Feliciana
,
to
put
up
any
Prayers
for
their
best
Friends
when
dead
,
yet
did
all
pray
for
Moderation
when
she
was
dead
and
gone
,
and
the
most
Religious
,
the
most
heartily
of
all
others
,
and
so
do
to
this
day
;
yet
not
for
the
resting
of
her
Soul
,
but
for
her
return
or
Resurrection
,
of
which
they
have
a
stedfast
belief
and
full
expectation
,
grounded
on
an
old
Prophecy
,
whereof
I
shall
tell
you
more
anon
.
And
seldom
did
any
come
near
her
Tomb
,
but
they
bedewed
it
with
their
Tears
,
over
which
,
as
I
remember
,
was
Engraven
in
a
Latine
Character
,
Heu
placidè
obdormit
Veneranda
Matrona
Moderatio
novam
expectans
Resuscitationem
aute
novissimam
Resurrectionem
.
And
under
it
was
this
Epitaph
,
written
in
that
Country
Language
,
Here
lyes
Intombed
Matron
Moderation
,
True
Friend
of
the
Church
,
Joy
of
the
Nation
;
Her
worth
to
few
was
known
Until
that
she
was
gone
:
No
Issue
great
or
small
,
This
the
saddest
of
all
.
All
ye
friends
that
look
on
,
Pray
for
Moderation
.
Long
may
she
not
stay
,
let
the
next
Generation
See
out
of
these
Stones
rise
a
New
Moderation
.
And
to
see
what
good
Prayers
can
do
!
Not
long
after
,
when
you
would
have
thought
she
had
been
quite
consumed
,
Moderation
did
revive
,
and
her
Spirit
did
return
,
yet
not
into
the
former
Corps
(
that
had
been
too
great
a
Miracle
for
this
latter
Age
to
believe
)
but
as
Moses
Spirit
was
once
transfused
into
seventy
others
,
so
did
her
Spirit
return
,
and
was
transfused
,
and
did
enter
into
many
more
,
and
made
a
happy
change
in
them
;
They
were
now
so
many
new
Creatures
,
which
made
the
Author
,
and
many
others
,
sing
in
the
words
of
that
famous
Verser
,
Jam
nova
Progenies
Coelo
dilabitur
alto
.
There
dropped
down
from
Heaven
high
,
Of
Mankind
a
new
Progeny
.
Yea
,
and
which
was
the
wonder
of
all
,
and
you
will
hardly
believe
it
,
even
Extremity
her self
was
changed
,
and
endued
with
another
spirit
,
as
the
next
Chapter
will
inform
you
.
CHAP.
XIII
.
Of
the
wonderful
change
wrought
in
Extremity
,
and
the
occasion
and
means
of
it
.
BEfore
I
make
an
end
,
I
shall
tell
you
what
became
of
Extremity
and
Disobedience
:
Extremity
made
a
happy
end
,
repented
,
reformed
,
and
dyed
comfortably
;
Disobedience
lived
obstinately
and
dyed
miserably
,
and
who
could
look
for
other
?
Extremity
,
as
I
told
you
before
,
was
the
only
Enemy
that
Moderation
had
in
all
the
world
,
and
had
hated
her
extremely
while
she
lived
;
and
she
the
only
Person
that
rejoyced
,
and
indeed
she
insulted
at
her
death
.
But
this
Enmity
lasted
not
alwayes
;
for
,
as
God
would
have
it
,
within
a
few
years
after
Moderation's
death
,
Extremity
fell
into
a
fit
of
Sickness
,
and
a
happy
Sickness
it
was
to
her
,
(
her
Extremity
was
Graces
Opportunity
)
she
was
sore
handled
:
An
ordinary
Disease
it
was
not
,
but
she
was
in
great
extremity
and
pain
.
The
Physitians
,
who
were
sent
for
,
were
at
their
Wits
end
,
when
they
saw
her
:
They
perceived
her
trouble
lay
deeper
,
and
concluded
,
by
all
Conjectures
they
could
make
,
it
was
some
inward
trouble
or
grief
oppressed
her
:
And
being
much
pressed
by
them
,
to
declare
whether
it
were
so
or
no
,
she
confessed
at
last
it
was
so
indeed
,
and
that
she
was
much
troubled
in
her
Mind
,
and
could
get
no
rest
.
It
was
about
her
former
course
o●…
life
,
and
her
many
sins
;
especially
sh●…
said
,
one
thing
lay
heaviest
upon
he●…
above
all
others
,
which
they
were
long
ere
they
could
get
out
of
her
;
yet
she
was
observed
by
them
that
watched
with
her
,
sometimes
,
between
sleeping
and
waking
,
to
mutter
to
her self
,
and
they
could
overhear
her
now
and
then
,
and
her
talk
was
of
Moderation
;
and
many
times
she
would
start
of
a
sudden
,
and
look
agast
,
and
bid
the
By-standers
look
about
,
and
tell
her
if
they
saw
any
thing
;
and
sometimes
would
ask
them
,
if
they
saw
not
Moderation
there
.
Once
she
lay
,
as
in
a
Trance
,
and
seemed
to
them
to
pray
and
call
upon
God
for
mercy
:
At
another
time
she
would
cry
out
of
her self
,
and
her
former
miscarriages
,
saying
,
Ah!
vile
Extremity
!
Ah!
sinful
wretch
Extremity
!
Ah!
cruel
Extremity
!
And
once
she
told
one
of
her
Maids
,
that
Moderation
had
appeared
to
her
in
her
sleep
,
all
clothed
in
white
,
and
with
a
smiling
Countenance
asked
her
,
what
reason
she
had
to
be
so
bitter
an
Enemy
to
her
,
who
had
never
done
her
wrong
in
all
her
life
?
and
now
she
was
dead
continued
her
Enmity
to
her
Friends
:
Told
her
,
she
was
sent
to
admonish
her
to
repent
,
and
amend
her
wayes
,
then
should
she
be
a
happy
Woman
.
This
did
much
run
in
her
mind
,
and
she
would
often
say
,
O!
that
Moderation
were
alive
again
!
All
the
World
should
see
,
I
did
not
so
much
hate
her
before
,
as
I
should
now
prize
and
love
her
.
She
would
often
wish
also
,
that
Eusebius
or
Philotheos
,
the
Husband
and
Brother
of
Moderation
,
were
now
alive
,
that
she
might
manifest
what
respect
she
bare
them
,
and
that
in
her
distress
she
might
ease
her
mind
to
them
,
and
receive
some
comfort
from
them
,
which
she
thought
was
not
possible
for
her
to
have
,
but
from
the
hands
of
some
of
Moderation's
Friends
.
Then
she
began
to
make
enquiry
,
what
able
and
discreet
Divine
there
was
,
to
whom
she
might
unbosom
her self
:
And
was
told
,
there
lived
not
far
from
her
,
a
choice
and
prudent
Minister
,
named
Agathophilus
,
one
well
experienced
in
Cases
and
perplexities
of
Conscience
,
and
one
mighty
tender
in
dealing
with
a
troubled
Spirit
(
a
chearful
and
comfortable
old
Man
he
was
,
and
a
great
cherisher
of
every
Spark
of
good
,
were
it
never
so
little
)
and
for
that
he
had
his
name
given
him
.
Extremity
had
never
been
acquainted
with
him
before
,
although
they
lived
not
far
the
one
from
the
other
(
nor
indeed
with
many
other
strict
Divines
,
whom
she
had
looked
upon
,
for
the
most
of
them
,
formerly
,
as
a
company
of
Soure
and
discontented
persons
)
for
him
she
presently
sends
,
and
he
came
immediately
,
and
she
at
first
sight
of
him
was
ready
,
somewhat
like
Cornelius
to
Saint
Peter
,
to
rise
off
her
Couch
and
fall
down
upon
her
knees
to
him
.
He
asked
her
how
she
did
?
what
was
her
grief
?
She
confessed
she
had
been
a
grievous
sinner
,
and
had
much
offended
;
but
one
thing
there
was
,
which
she
had
hitherto
concealed
,
but
now
she
would
hide
nothing
from
him
;
one
thing
there
was
,
that
troubled
her
more
then
all
the
rest
;
she
had
been
a
bitter
Enemy
to
Moderation
;
and
now
she
saw
plainly
(
the
Evening
of
Sickness
is
the
Morning
of
Light
)
that
she
had
been
much
mistaken
in
her
,
and
feared
she
had
much
to
answer
for
her
uncharitableness
;
she
had
alwayes
looked
upon
Moderation
with
an
evil
eye
,
as
if
she
had
been
the
vilest
Creature
alive
,
and
thereupon
had
hated
her
to
the
death
;
but
now
she
was
quite
and
clean
of
another
mind
,
and
did
think
she
was
as
good
a
Soul
as
lived
,
and
the
most
innocent
,
and
saw
that
she
was
a
better
Christian
then
her self
;
wishing
,
with
all
her
heart
,
that
when
she
dyed
,
she
might
change
places
with
Moderation
;
and
were
she
now
alive
again
,
she
would
shew
her
all
the
love
was
possible
:
This
and
much
more
she
confest
,
and
the
Tears
gushed
out
when
she
mentioned
these
things
;
and
oft-times
would
lift
up
her
eyes
to
Heaven
and
pray
,
God
forgive
me
my
bitterness
against
Moderation
.
And
another
thing
she
charged
her self
withall
,
which
she
thought
made
her
more
inexcusable
,
and
she
said
,
she
had
never
thought
of
it
till
in
this
her
sickness
;
and
that
was
this
;
she
had
been
formerly
under
the
hands
of
cruel
Oppressours
,
and
could
not
help
her self
;
and
indeed
she
had
had
hard
measure
,
but
it
was
not
from
the
hands
of
Moderation
,
nor
any
of
her
Friends
,
who
could
only
pity
her
,
and
were
troubled
to
see
it
;
but
by
other
hands
as
extreme
as
Extremity
her self
:
Schollers
have
a
saying
,
One
extream
is
most
opposite
to
another
:
But
then
she
had
promised
,
and
made
a
solemn
Vow
,
that
if
ever
she
should
come
out
of
her
sufferings
,
she
had
learnt
to
pity
sufferers
while
she
lived
,
and
should
never
countenance
Violence
again
;
yet
since
she
had
been
in
that
good
condition
she
now
enjoyed
;
and
Moderation
she
acknowledged
had
not
been
backward
to
contribute
her
best
assistance
for
hers
and
the
common
benefit
;
she
had
both
forgotten
Moderation
,
and
her
own
former
Vows
and
Promises
:
And
here
she
burst
out
into
Tears
afresh
.
Agathophilus
seeing
her
in
such
an
Agony
,
fell
to
comfort
her
,
yet
told
her
,
she
had
been
much
to
blame
for
her
former
Violence
;
but
seeing
she
was
now
so
true
a
Penitent
,
and
so
changed
in
her
mind
,
as
she
declared
,
he
bad
her
not
fear
,
her
case
was
no
wayes
desperate
;
and
to
confirm
her
,
he
told
her
further
,
that
in
his
Experience
he
had
met
with
the
like
before
,
and
could
give
her
many
Scripture
Instances
.
He
would
not
tell
her
of
Manasses
(
he
said
)
and
what
he
had
done
,
yet
found
mercy
,
for
his
Case
was
quite
beyond
the
Line
,
and
Eccentrical
to
her
Relation
she
had
made
.
But
he
could
tell
her
of
divers
of
no
mean
Quality
,
whose
Names
and
Stories
are
no
wayes
blemished
by
it
,
that
had
been
drawn
aside
sometimes
as
she
had
been
:
As
Darius
,
a
Median
King
;
and
Ahasuerus
,
the
Persian
Emperour
(
some
part
of
whose
Story
is
recorded
by
a
Sacred
Pen
)
whose
good
Natures
had
been
wrought
upon
,
by
the
sollicitation
of
some
mis-informers
,
to
pass
some
Acts
,
severe
enough
,
against
some
of
Moderation's
Ancestors
;
yet
upon
further
enquiry
and
satisfaction
,
gave
a
check
and
stop
to
further
proceedings
,
repealing
those
Acts
,
and
receiving
into
highest
favour
such
as
,
by
mis-representation
,
they
had
been
whetted
against
;
nor
was
it
ever
imputed
to
them
as
a
note
of
Inconstancy
,
that
they
had
rescinded
such
Acts
,
but
is
the
brightest
Star
of
Glory
that
shines
in
their
Story
.
And
for
your
Father
,
Saul
the
Second
(
said
he
)
of
ever
blessed
Memory
,
that
famous
Saint
and
Martyr
,
I
need
not
tell
you
what
the
former
part
of
his
Story
was
;
somewhat
like
yours
,
by
your
own
relation
:
But
he
had
been
outragious
when
time
was
,
not
only
hunting
Moderation
out
of
house
and
home
in
her
own
Corporations
,
but
persecuting
her
and
her
followers
into
strange
Cities
;
yet
did
he
not
only
find
mercy
,
but
for
his
memorable
change
and
Piety
,
afterwards
hath
his
Name
set
down
among
the
first
Three
.
He
was
content
to
take
the
Taunt
of
Heretick
at
the
hands
of
Tertullus
,
and
of
a
Mad
Phanatick
at
the
hands
of
Festus
afterwards
,
he
was
so
much
altered
.
The
like
,
I
trust
,
said
he
,
will
befall
you
,
whose
former
dayes
,
by
your
own
confession
,
have
been
like
his
,
that
your
last
end
will
be
as
his
also
;
and
if
you
continue
in
this
good
mind
,
you
will
hereafter
come
into
the
same
estate
he
is
possessed
of
;
for
which
purpose
I
shall
ever
pray
for
you
,
and
,
if
you
please
,
am
now
ready
to
pray
with
you
—
which
accordingly
he
did
before
they
parted
.
She
was
not
a
little
comforted
and
settled
in
her
mind
,
after
her
discourse
with
Agathophilus
;
and
soon
after
she
mended
apace
and
recovered
,
lived
many
a
day
after
,
and
made
an
happy
end
.
And
to
testifie
the
reallity
of
her
change
(
not
long
after
this
ill
Fit
she
proved
with
Child
,
and
when
she
had
gone
her
time
she
was
delivered
of
a
Daughter
,
and
would
have
her
called
Mitigation
,
her
elder
Daughter
being
dead
a
little
before
,
whose
name
was
Violence
,
and
upon
her
Death-bed
she
made
it
her
last
Request
,
to
some
of
Moderation's
Acquaintance
,
that
her
Daughter
might
be
brought
up
with
their
Children
,
and
if
she
lived
to
be
bestowed
in
marriage
,
it
might
be
to
one
of
that
Family
,
which
she
desired
above
any
thing
in
this
World
,
as
being
verily
perswaded
,
God
had
a
blessing
in
store
for
that
Family
,
then
should
she
dye
in
peace
.
And
so
it
came
to
pass
as
she
desired
,
for
Mitigation
was
married
to
a
near
Kinsman
of
Moderation's
,
called
Philallelos
,
the
loveliest
Person
in
the
World
:
He
was
all
Love
,
and
nothing
but
Love
,
and
so
much
his
name
signified
when
it
was
given
him
,
and
he
made
it
good
.
And
now
can
it
not
be
expressed
,
what
joy
this
Marriage
caused
all
the
Country
over
;
for
by
this
means
,
those
two
great
Families
,
of
Extremity
and
Moderation
,
were
united
,
which
,
while
at
enmity
,
had
divided
and
distracted
all
the
Neighbourhood
.
Of
the
which
memorable
Sickness
,
Repentance
and
Recovery
of
Extremity
,
and
her
change
,
and
the
Marriage
of
her
Daughter
,
one
made
this
following
Verse
,
which
though
a
plain
and
homely
one
,
I
thought
fit
to
have
inserted
.
Extremity
was
sick
,
and
hard
it
is
to
say
,
In
what
extremity
Extremity
then
lay
,
Troubled
much
in
mind
about
Moderation
,
Whom
she
had
pursued
with
much
Indignation
.
Extremity
recovers
,
and
a
while
after
Into
Moderation's
Stock
marries
her
Daughter
.
They
being
made
Friends
,
the
World
was
well
amended
:
Mitigation
survives
,
Extremity
is
ended
.
CHAP.
XIV
.
Containing
a
digression
of
the
Author
.
I
Am
not
ignorant
,
that
many
will
look
upon
all
this
that
hath
been
said
of
Extremities
Sickness
,
trouble
in
mind
,
and
Repentance
,
to
be
but
a
Story
,
no
more
then
Moderation's
rising
again
.
I
shall
not
go
about
to
impose
upon
any
man
a
belief
of
what
he
dislikes
,
but
leave
every
one
to
think
what
he
pleaseth
.
Only
it
is
certain
,
that
Philallelos
and
Mitigation
made
a
happy
match
,
and
many
there
were
that
gave
them
Joy
,
and
wisht
they
might
live
many
a
good
day
together
,
and
have
many
good
Children
between
them
,
and
hoped
there
would
be
much
more
Love
among
all
the
Neighbours
,
then
there
had
been
for
a
while
before
:
And
,
whencesoever
it
came
,
it
was
observed
there
was
a
fresh
breathing
of
a
Spirit
of
Love
all
over
the
Land
,
as
if
serene
Zephirus
had
blown
away
all
the
former
Storms
and
Clouds
,
and
presented
Men
with
a
milder
Air
to
breath
in
;
and
the
content
that
most
had
in
their
hearts
and
their
hopes
,
were
legible
in
the
chearfulness
of
their
Countenances
.
But
what
the
secret
causes
of
this
alteration
and
reconciliation
between
Extremity
and
Moderation
were
,
is
too
deep
a
Mystery
for
Hesychius
Pamphilus
to
penetrate
.
Only
I
shall
relate
to
you
,
what
were
the
several
Conjectures
of
several
Persons
,
who
would
,
as
they
pleased
,
assign
their
several
apprehensions
,
which
might
produce
this
happy
effect
.
First
,
This
is
not
to
be
concealed
,
that
the
Inhabitants
of
Feliciana
are
a
people
above
any
in
all
the
World
beside
,
next
to
the
Word
of
God
,
given
much
to
the
observation
of
Divine
Providences
;
and
they
h●d
taken
notice
,
that
after
some
hard
dealing
with
Moderation
,
many
disasters
had
befallen
that
Island
(
which
though
it
were
too
high
presumption
to
give
the
reason
of
,
yet
is
it
but
piety
to
take
notice
of
)
as
the
Apparition
of
some
prodigious
Comets
,
which
amazed
the
Spectators
,
and
were
seen
in
that
Island
(
whether
one
and
the
same
,
or
two
,
or
three
)
for
about
six
moneths
together
,
followed
with
a
sweeping
Pestilence
,
which
took
away
an
hundred
thousand
out
of
the
Capital
City
;
and
the
same
City
,
the
year
following
,
consumed
with
Fire
,
for
the
greatest
part
of
it
;
and
during
all
this
time
,
a
chargeable
and
doubtful
War
with
potent
Neighbours
,
consuming
what
Lives
the
Pestilence
had
spared
,
and
what
Treasure
had
escaped
the
Fire
.
Dreadful
and
amazing
Judgments
all
.
With
the
pious
sense
whereof
,
many
of
the
Islanders
being
duly
affected
,
began
to
reflect
upon
themselves
,
as
sometimes
the
Patriarks
did
,
in
a
day
of
their
distress
,
and
said
,
Are
we
not
guilty
concerning
our
Brother
,
because
we
saw
the
anguish
of
his
Soul
,
when
he
besought
us
,
and
we
would
not
hear
?
Others
there
are
,
that
,
next
to
the
Goodness
of
God
,
ascribe
it
principally
to
the
Native
and
large-hearted
Clemency
and
Prudence
of
the
Prince
;
who
having
observed
how
patient
and
silent
Moderation
had
been
under
her
Tryals
;
and
moreover
,
when
some
unquiet
Spirits
had
been
formerly
stirring
at
home
;
and
during
the
time
of
that
War
,
that
was
then
afoot
with
the
Neighbours
abroad
,
Extremity
it self
could
not
find
the
least
defection
in
Moderation
from
her
wonted
constant
Fidelity
.
Thereupon
the
prudent
Prince
said
to
his
people
,
as
formerly
another
Prince
had
said
to
his
,
concerning
the
Family
of
Jacob
,
Behold
,
these
men
are
quiet
and
peaceable
,
let
them
dwell
in
the
Land
,
and
trade
therein
;
behold
,
the
Land
is
large
enough
,
let
us
make
Marriages
with
them
,
and
take
their
Daughters
in
marriage
with
our
Sons
.
Others
again
said
,
it
was
no
more
but
this
;
the
good
hour
was
come
,
wherein
God
would
bring
Moderation
out
of
her
Troubles
,
as
he
had
done
Joseph
,
who
had
lyen
in
disgrace
under
some
foul
Accusations
,
till
the
time
that
his
Word
came
,
the
Word
of
the
Lord
had
tryed
him
;
then
the
King
sent
and
loosed
him
,
the
Ruler
of
the
people
,
and
let
him
go
free
:
And
the
rather
,
because
he
had
been
informed
by
some
about
him
,
that
he
had
skill
in
opening
Divine
Revelations
,
and
might
be
of
great
use
in
preventing
a
(
spiritual
)
Famine
.
Others
again
,
that
it
had
been
with
the
Daughter
now
,
as
it
was
with
her
Father
Hyperzelotes
,
both
in
his
first
and
last
:
Time
and
immediate
inspiration
from
God
,
had
wrought
this
blessed
change
in
him
;
who
,
after
his
intemperate
zeal
spent
against
Moderation
,
became
now
her
great
Friend
,
Patron
and
Advocate
,
and
then
the
most
glorious
Champion
for
Truth
,
Piety
and
Charity
that
ever
was
,
and
a
most
Eminent
Instrument
of
good
to
the
universal
Church
;
after
which
,
it
is
observed
by
a
Sacred
Pen
,
Then
had
the
Churches
rest
in
all
Judea
,
Samaria
and
Galilee
,
and
were
edified
,
and
,
walking
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
the
Comforts
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
were
multiplyed
.
And
in
all
the
Churches
,
where
Tidings
came
of
this
blessed
change
,
They
glorified
God
in
him
.
The
like
was
now
done
in
all
Feliciana
.
Howsoever
it
was
,
and
whatsoever
may
be
thought
the
cause
,
it
becomes
not
Pamphilus
to
determine
;
but
all
remembred
,
what
a
Blessed
,
Peace-making
,
and
Great-Uniting-Monarch
of
a
famous
Island
,
had
given
for
his
Motto
upon
his
Coin
,
A
Domino
factum
est
illud
,
&
est
mirabile
in
oculis
nostris
:
This
was
the
Lords
doing
,
and
it
is
marvelous
in
our
eyes
:
who
had
united
Kingdoms
,
formerly
divided
,
and
at
enmity
;
and
said
,
the
like
had
befallen
them
;
and
therefore
desired
God
might
have
the
whole
glory
and
praise
ascribed
to
him
.
Only
this
is
certain
,
nothing
could
have
been
done
more
to
the
general
satisfaction
of
the
sober
sort
of
Men
in
the
Island
,
to
raise
up
their
hearts
in
the
highest
praise
of
God
,
and
to
the
greatest
measure
of
thankfulness
to
so
Gracious
and
Prudent
a
Prince
,
and
to
the
cementing
of
Christian
Love
and
mutual
good
Affection
all
the
Island
over
(
only
Disobedience
was
much
discontented
;
and
looking
scornfully
out
at
a
Window
(
as
Michal
once
,
when
all
Israel
were
in
their
highest
joy
at
a
great
Festival
)
and
shook
her
head
:
)
So
that
Israel
of
old
did
not
more
rejoyce
,
when
the
King
had
brought
the
Ark
out
of
a
private
House
into
publick
again
,
and
appointed
it
a
fixed
Station
;
or
when
the
Son
of
the
same
King
had
newly
Dedicated
the
holy
Temple
;
it
being
set
down
in
their
sacred
Stories
,
that
both
these
Princes
blessed
their
people
,
and
they
were
again
blessed
by
their
people
:
And
the
conclusion
of
the
Story
of
the
latter
was
this
;
after
his
Devotions
ended
,
He
sent
away
the
people
,
and
they
blessed
the
King
,
and
went
into
their
Tents
,
joyful
and
glad
in
heart
,
for
all
the
goodness
the
Lord
had
done
for
David
his
Servant
,
and
for
Israel
his
People
.
CHAP.
XV
.
What
became
of
Disobedience
and
her
Children
,
they
being
quelled
and
reduced
,
what
a
happy
World
followed
,
according
to
an
old
Prophecy
.
NOw
,
when
we
shall
have
dispatched
Disobedience
out
of
the
way
,
our
work
is
at
an
end
;
we
shall
therefore
tell
you
what
became
of
her
,
now
there
was
no
other
Enemy
to
be
suppressed
;
And
would
we
could
say
,
she
came
to
the
like
good
end
Extremity
made
:
But
it
was
never
likely
.
—
She
was
not
of
like
Temper
and
Spirit
as
Extremity
was
,
ever
to
be
touched
with
any
sense
of
Honour
or
Conscience
.
Extremity
was
of
a
Generous
Spirit
,
and
Noble
Education
,
and
ever
bare
a
true
Love
to
her
Country
;
only
too
too
passionate
.
Disobedience
,
on
the
other
side
,
was
of
a
dogged
,
surly
and
unquiet
Spirit
;
nothing
could
please
her
,
neither
could
she
well
tell
what
she
would
have
,
only
fretted
at
the
times
,
and
her
own
private
condition
.
But
now
those
great
Families
of
Extremity
and
Moderation
being
united
and
allyed
,
there
was
no
fear
of
any
considerable
disturbance
Disobedience
could
make
.
And
to
make
sure
,
and
timely
to
prevent
any
mischief
that
any
of
the
Children
of
Disobedience
could
hatch
or
devise
,
Extremity
and
Moderation's
Friends
agreed
,
with
their
united
Forces
to
fall
upon
them
:
And
they
being
within
a
short
time
after
up
in
Rebellion
,
it
was
the
Lot
of
a
Party
of
Extremities
Forces
to
give
the
first
charge
,
who
scattered
the
body
,
and
took
some
of
the
chief
Heads
,
and
made
them
Examples
;
and
Moderation's
,
with
their
Party
,
took
some
others
:
And
both
agreed
,
to
the
terror
of
the
rest
,
to
send
them
bound
to
their
Father
Absalom's
Oak
,
drawn
backward
in
his
Chariot
by
his
Mule
,
whom
when
she
carried
thither
,
and
had
left
them
safe
hanging
by
the
head
,
between
Heaven
and
Earth
,
upon
a
three-forked
Branch
(
the
Wood
devoured
more
that
day
then
the
Sword
)
the
lightened
Beast
went
away
from
under
them
,
leaving
them
hanging
.
Some
of
the
rest
that
were
taken
stragling
,
were
made
to
go
on
Pilgrimage
a
foot
to
the
Oak
of
Reformation
,
a
Tree
which
had
formerly
done
good
service
on
like
occasion
in
the
dayes
of
their
fore-fathers
:
And
because
this
Tree
was
somewhat
higher
then
the
former
,
they
were
fain
to
climb
,
or
else
to
be
lifted
up
to
it
,
and
presently
after
,
the
kind
Earth
,
to
rid
the
World
of
them
,
opened
,
and
they
were
swallowed
up
with
the
Congregation
of
Abiram
.
The
Heads
being
taken
off
thus
,
the
rest
submitted
,
and
fell
to
hard
Labour
;
all
save
a
few
desperate
ones
,
who
seeing
they
could
do
no
more
good
on
it
(
others
call
it
mischief
and
wickedness
)
fled
the
Island
:
Only
some
(
too
many
of
them
too
)
of
the
latter
brood
of
Disobedience
,
the
Hectors
and
Tories
,
the
Drunkards
,
Whoremongers
,
and
other
vicious
persons
,
remained
sculking
in
Corners
,
and
harboured
in
wicked
houses
,
whom
it
is
hoped
,
the
good
and
wholesome
Laws
of
the
Island
(
for
there
are
no
better
any
where
)
and
due
execution
of
them
,
may
,
in
time
,
reduce
from
the
evil
wayes
of
their
Mother
Disobedience
;
then
no
Nation
in
the
World
more
happy
,
and
may
well
be
called
Feliciana
,
or
Elisiana
for
ever
.
But
already
all
Storms
were
scattered
,
and
an
happy
Calm
followed
,
and
there
seemed
to
be
a
new
World
:
The
Island
was
settled
,
Armies
disbanded
,
every
Man
sate
under
his
own
Vine
and
Fig-tree
,
eating
,
drinking
and
making
merry
,
as
in
the
older
World
,
or
in
the
Halcyon
and
Golden
dayes
of
Solomon's
Reign
,
rejoycing
,
that
Mercy
and
Truth
,
Righteousness
and
Peace
,
Extremity
and
Moderation
,
had
kissed
each
other
:
And
the
Primitive
times
did
seem
to
be
returned
,
wherein
they
did
eat
their
meat
with
gladness
and
sing
eness
of
heart
,
praising
God
,
and
having
favour
with
all
the
people
,
and
the
Lord
added
to
his
Church
dayly
such
as
should
be
saved
.
And
all
good
Men
prayed
,
long
may
Extremity
and
Moderation
be
friends
,
or
rather
,
no
more
Extremity
,
but
alwayes
Moderation
.
And
then
many
could
remember
,
there
had
been
an
old
Prophecy
,
which
their
Fathers
had
told
them
(
foretold
many
a
day
agone
by
a
holy
Man
)
which
was
now
fulfilled
,
and
was
to
this
effect
.
Moderation
shall
Revive
,
Extremity
shall
Cease
,
Disobedience
stoop
to
Reason
,
All
end
in
Peace
.
The
Envy
of
Ephraim
shall
cease
;
Ephraim
shall
not
envy
Judah
,
nor
Judah
vex
Ephraim
