TO
THE
RIGHT
HONOURABLE
ROBERT
EARLE
of
WARWICK
,
Baron
of
Leeze
.
Right
Honourable
,
THe
noble
favours
which
I
received
from
your
deceased
father
,
are
so
many
,
that
I
can
never
sufficiently
expresse
them
,
and
(
I
hope
)
shall
never
be
so
ungrateful
as
to
forget
them
.
The
chiefest
requital
I
can
now
make
for
them
,
is
to
pray
for
your
Lordship
,
That
as
you
are
his
heire
,
and
inherit
his
estate
,
so
you
may
also
inherit
his
virtues
;
And
that
whatsoever
was
good
in
him
,
may
live
in
you
.
For
as
it
is
a
happinesse
,
when
a
sonne
is
descended
from
religious
Ancestors
(
he
being
hereby
made
partaker
of
their
good
counsels
,
prayers
,
and
pious
examples
)
so
also
it
is
an
invaluable
blessing
,
when
a
father
hath
religious
and
virtuous
children
.
It
was
a
sad
complaint
of
Augustus
,
O
that
I
had
lived
a
Bachelor
,
or
dyed
childlesse
!
And
concerning
Marcus
Aurelius
Antoninus
,
that
he
had
been
perfectly
happy
,
had
he
not
begotten
such
a
wicked
sonne
as
Commodus
was
.
And
that
he
did
injure
his
country
in
nothing
,
but
in
being
the
father
of
such
an
ungodly
child
,
Hoc
solo
patriae
,
quod
genuit
,
nocuit
.
Some
children
are
blots
and
blemishes
to
their
Parents
,
as
Manasseh
was
to
Hezekiah
.
My
prayer
for
your
Lordship
is
,
that
you
may
be
an
honour
,
glory
,
and
crown
of
rejoycing
to
your
Family
,
and
by
your
godly
and
virtuous
life
make
your
Father
(
though
dead
)
to
enjoy
a
kind
of
happiness
upon
earth
while
you
live
.
And
that
you
may
embalme
his
memory
to
posterity
by
the
spices
,
and
sweet
odours
of
your
godly
life
,
and
conversation
.
It
ought
not
to
be
forgotten
,
but
for
ever
to
be
remembred
,
That
your
Lordship
may
not
unfitly
be
called
the
Lords
Passeover
.
For
when
he
took
away
by
death
your
only
sonne
and
heire
,
he
passed
over
you
,
and
instead
of
the
Father
took
to
himselfe
the
Grand-father
.
This
remarkable
Providence
is
alone
sufficient
to
teach
you
to
pass
the
time
of
your
sojourning
here
in
feare
;
and
to
purge
out
the
old
leaven
of
sinne
and
iniquitie
,
that
you
may
be
a
new
lump
of
sincerity
and
truth
;
and
thereby
have
an
undoubted
interest
in
Christ
your
Passeover
,
who
was
sacrificed
for
you
.
This
ensuing
Sermon
was
preached
at
your
Fathers
funeral
,
and
it
is
now
dedicated
to
your
Lordship
as
yours
by
birth-right
,
and
by
many
other
obligations
.
It
will
much
conduce
(
if
put
in
practice
)
for
the
encouraging
of
you
in
wayes
of
holiness
,
and
righteousness
.
For
it
teacheth
wherein
true
Nobility
doth
consist
,
and
that
nothing
makes
a
man
truely
noble
,
but
pietie
,
and
godlinesse
.
Sinne
defiles
a
person
and
makes
him
vile
and
loathsome
,
though
otherwise
never
so
honourable
.
David
calls
a
sinner
a
vile
person
,
and
his
sonne
Solomon
calls
him
a
loathsome
person
.
Antiochus
the
great
because
of
his
wickednesse
,
is
stiled
by
Daniel
a
vile
person
.
Sinne
makes
us
not
only
like
unto
dogs
,
vipers
,
and
swine
,
but
unto
devils
:
Nay
,
Sin
makes
us
devils
.
Christ
himselfe
calls
Judas
a
devil
:
and
saith
,
Revelations●
.
10.
The
devil
shall
cast
some
of
you
into
prison
,
&c.
meaning
thereby
wicked
and
devilish
men
.
He
that
is
a
slave
to
his
lusts
is
base
,
and
ignoble
though
a
King
or
Emperour
.
Nobilitie
without
virtue
is
but
as
a
scarlet
roabe
upon
a
leaprous
body
.
A
true
Christian
is
of
a
noble
extraction
.
He
is
the
adopted
Sonne
of
God
,
brother
to
Jesus
Christ
,
heire
of
God
,
and
co-heire
with
Christ
.
He
is
partaker
of
the
divine
nature
,
and
without
all
controversie
the
Noblest
man
in
the
world
.
The
Lord
give
you
grace
to
believe
this
,
that
as
you
are
nobly
borne
in
reference
to
your
earthly
extraction
,
so
you
may
be
borne
from
above
,
and
borne
of
God
in
reference
to
your
heavenly
original
.
This
Sermon
will
likewise
instruct
your
Lordship
how
to
dye
nobly
and
honourably
.
And
that
is
,
to
dye
in
the
faith
.
He
that
dyes
in
his
sinnes
,
must
of
necessity
be
condemned
for
his
sinnes
:
but
he
that
dyes
with
a
true
faith
in
Jesus
Christ
,
shall
certainly
live
for
ever
in
heaven
with
Christ
.
It
will
teach
you
to
build
your
Sepulchre
in
your
earthly
Paradises
,
and
in
the
midst
of
your
pleasures
to
remember
your
latter
end
.
This
will
be
a
golden
bridle
to
keep
you
from
unlawful
,
and
to
moderate
the
use
of
lawful
pleasures
.
It
sets
before
you
a
double
patterne
for
your
imitation
.
The
lives
of
the
ancient
and
religious
Patriarcks
,
and
many
commendable
,
and
praise-worthy
things
in
your
Fathers
life
.
And
if
your
Lordship
will
endeavour
to
write
after
these
excellent
copies
and
live
as
they
lived
,
you
will
be
happy
both
in
life
and
death
,
which
that
you
may
be
,
is
,
and
shall
be
the
prayer
of
My
Lord
,
Your
humble
servant
in
Christ
Jesus
.

A
SERMON
Preached
at
the
Funeral
OF
THE
Right
Honourable
ROBERT
EARLE
of
WARWICK
.
Heb.
11.
13.
These
all
dyed
in
Faith
.
THese
words
are
a
description
of
the
constancy
and
perseverance
of
the
Old
Testament
Saints
in
holinesse
,
notwithstanding
all
the
difficulties
and
discouragements
they
met
with
.
They
did
not
only
live
in
the
faith
,
but
they
continued
in
it
till
death
,
and
dyed
in
the
same
faith
in
which
they
lived
.
All
these
dyed
in
the
faith
.
In
the
words
we
have
two
parts
.
First
,
The
persons
mentioned
.
Secondly
,
The
things
mentioned
concerning
these
persons
.
1.
The
persons
mentioned
,
these
all
.
That
is
,
(
as
some
would
have
it
)
all
the
forementioned
Saints
,
Abel
,
Noah
,
Abraham
,
Sarah
,
&c.
(
except
Enoch
who
dyed
not
,
and
yet
continued
in
the
faith
,
and
in
that
faith
was
taken
up
)
These
all
.
But
I
conceive
that
the
Holy
Ghost
principally
and
directly
,
intends
only
such
of
the
forenamed
Saints
,
who
were
heirs
of
the
land
of
promise
,
and
sojourned
in
Canaan
as
in
a
strange
Country
.
These
all
.
That
is
,
all
those
who
lived
in
the
second
world
after
the
flood
,
Abraham
,
and
Sarah
,
Isaac
,
and
Jacob
;
the
Husband
,
and
the
Wife
;
the
Father
,
the
Son
,
and
the
Grandchild
.
These
all
.
2.
The
things
mentioned
concerning
these
persons
.

It
is
said
they

Though
they
lived
long
,
and
many
score
of
years
longer
than
we
now
do
,
yet
they
dyed
at
last
.
Though
they
were
very
godly
,
and
religious
persons
,
though
very
noble
,
and
honourable
persons
,
yet
they
dyed
.
These
all
dyed
.

It
is
said
,
That
they
dyed
in
faith
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
.
They
died
according
to
the
faith
in
which
they

,
{non-Roman}

They
died
according
to
the
faith
;
that
is
,
in
the
faith
,
in
●ide
,
seu
●ide
,
seu
per
fidem
.
If
you
would
know
what
this
faith
was
in
which
they
died
,
you
must
take
notice
of
what
followeth
in
the
text
—
not
having
received
the
promises
,
but
having
seen
them
afar
off
,
and
were
perswaded
of
them
,
and
embraced
them
,
and
confessed
that
,
&c.
God
had
promised
that
the
Messias
should
come
of
their
seed
,
and
that
in
him
all
the
nations
of
the
world
should
be
blessed
.
God
had
promised
that
he
would
give
them
the
land
of
Canaun
,
and
not
only
an
earthly
,
but
an
heavenly
Canuan
.
Now
all
these
died
,
perswaded
of
the
truth
of
these
promises
,
embracing
,
or
(
as
the
Greek
word
signifieth
)
kissing
them
.
They
saw
them
afar
off
,
and
beleeved
them
.
Even
as
a
Mariner
that
hath
been
long
at
sea
,
when
he
seeth
afar
off
the
desired
haven
,
claps
his
hands
,
and
skips
for
joy
.
So
did
these
holy
men
.
By
the
prospective
glasse
of
faith
,
they
saw
the
performance
of
that
which
came
not
to
passe
till
foure
hundred
years
after
,
and
rejoyced
in
it
as
if
already
fulfilled
.
They
died
in
the
faith
of
the
Messias
,
beleeving
not
only
that
he
should
come
in
the
flesh
,
but
expecting
salvation
,
and
life
everlasting
by
him
only
.
They
died
perswaded
of
salvation
by
Christ
,
and
embracing
,
saluting
,
and
kissing
the
Lord
Jesus
.
They
died
in
the
faith
of
the
promised
land
of
Canaan
,
and
they
died
looking
,
waiting
,
and
resting
upon
God
in
Christ
for
a
better
country
,
which
is
an
heavenly
,
ver.
16.
In
a
word
,
they
died
beleeving
they
should
go
to
that
City
which
hath
foundations
,
whose
builder
,
and
maker
is
God
,
ver.
10.
This
was
that
blessed
,
happy
,
and
noble
close
,
and
end
of
daies
which
these
godly
and
honourable
Patriarks
made
.
These
all
dyed
in
faith
.
From
the
words
thus
expounded
I
shall
gather
these
following
inferences
.
Doctrine
1.
That
though
a
man
liveth
never
so
long
,
yet
he
must
die
at
last
.
These
all
dyed
though
they
lived
long
.
Abraham
lived
one
hundred
seventy
five
years
,
Isaac
one
hundred
eightie
,
Jacob
one
hundred
fourtie
seven
,
and
yet
died
at
last
.
Before
the
flood
,
some
lived
seven
hundred
,
others
eight
hundred
,
others
nine
hundred
years
▪
but
it
is
added
as
the
common
Epitaph
of
them
all
,
Mortuus
est
,
he
dyed
,
Gen.

,

,

,

,
31.
Death
is
the
haven
of
every
man
,
whether
King
,
or
beggar
,
rich
,
or
poor
.
Death
is
the
gulfe
which
will
swallow
us
all
up
.
Length
of
time
cannot
prescribe
against
death
.
The
longest
day
will
have
a
night
,
and
the
longest
life
a
death
.
This
life
is
nothing
else
but
prolixitas
mortis
(
as
one
saith
)
or
tendentia
ad
mortem
.
A
lingring
kind
of
death
,
or
a
pacing
,
or
journeying
to
death
.
Some
have
a
longer
journy
than
others
,
but
all
must
come
to
their
journies
end
at
last
.
There
is
a
statute
in
heaven
for
it
,
Heb.
9.
27.
It
is
appointed
for
all
men
once
to
dye
.
And
death
is
called
the
house
appointed
for
all
living

Now
then

if
they
who
lived
so
long
died
at
last
,
much
more
must
we
,
who
are
dwarfes
in
years
in
comparison
of
them
,
and
who
are
nearer
death
when
first
borne
,
than
some
of
them
were
when
an
hundred
years
old
.
Let
me
beseech
you
frequently
,
solemnly
,
and
seriously
to
consider
,
That
though
we
live
never
so
long
and
labour
by
physick
,
and
temperate
diet
,
and
wholesome
aire
to
prolong
our
lives
,
yet
we
must
die
at
last
.
As
the
King
of
Persia
told
Constantine
the
Emperour
,
when
he
had
shewed
him
all
the
wealth
of
Rome
;
These
are
indeed
(
saith
he
)
wonderful
things
which
you
shew
me
,
but
I
plainiy
see
,
that
as
in
Persia
,
so
in
Rome
also
men
are
subject
to
death
.
For
dust
we
all
are
and
to
dust
we
must
all
returne
.
We
must
say
to
corruption
thou
art
my
Father
,
and
to
the
worme
,
thou
art
my
Mother
and
my
sister
.
We
have
here
no
abiding
City
.
As
we
had
a
day
to
come
into
the
world
,
so
we
shall
have
a
day
to
go
out
of
it
.
The
nature
of
man
is
wonderful
prone
to
dreame
of
an
eternal
abode
,
and
of
a
lasting
happiness
here
upon
earth
.
Saint
Austin
tells
us
of
certain
hereticks
called
Aeternales
,
because
they
held
the
world
to
be
eternal
.
We
have
many
such
Eternalists
,
who
phancy
to
themselves
a
kind
of
eternitie
here
upon
earth
,
and
are
ready
to
say
with
the
rich
foole
in
the
Gospel
,
Soul
take
thy
ease
,
eat
drink
and
be
merry
,
thou
hast
goods
laid
up
for
many
years
,
and
in
the
mean
time
forget
what
God
said
to
him
,
Thou
foole
,
this
night
thy
soul
shall
be
required
of
thee
,
then
whose
shall
those
things
be
which
thou
hast
provided
?
It
is
said
of
wicked
men
,
Psalm
49.
11.
Their
inward
thought
is
,
that
their
houses
shall
continue
for
ever
,
and
their
dwelling
places
to
all
generations
,
&c.
They
are
ashamed
to
utter
any
such
thing
,
but
their
inward
thought
is
that
they
shall
abide
for
ever
.
Then
it
followeth
,
ver.
13.
This
their
way
is
their
folly
,
yet
their
posteritie
approve
their
sayings
.
Nevertheless
man
being
in
honour
abideth
not
,
&c.
Though
he
thinks
he
shall
abide
,
yet
neither
he
,
nor
his
heires
shall
be
continued
,
but
he
shall
be
like
the
beasts
that
perish
.
Therefore
we
had
all
need
to
pray
Davids
prayer
,
Lord
make
me
to
know
mine
end
,
and
the
measure
of
my
dayes
what
it
is
,
that
I
may
know
how
fraile
I
am
.
There
are
few
who
know
practically
and
applicatively
how
fraile
they
are
.
Most
men
say
they
are
mortal
,
magis
usu
quam
sensu
,
more
out
of
custome
than
feeling
;
for
they
live
as
if
their
lives
were
riveted
upon
eternitie
,
and
as
if
they
should
never
come
to
a
reckoning
.
Heu
vivunt
homines
tanquam
mors
nulla
sequatur
,
Aut
velut
infernus
fabula
vana
foret
.
Let
us
supplicate
unto
God
,
That
he
would
teach
us
effectually
to
remember
our
frailtie
,
and
to
consider
that
there
will
come
a
dying
time
,
and
that
it
will
come
certainly
,
shortly
,
uncertainly
,
suddenly
and
irresistibly
.
1.
That
it
will
come
certainly
.
There
is
an
oporte●
for
it
.
We
must
all
appear
before
the
judgement
seat
of
Christ
,
&c.
There
is
nothing
certain
in
life
but
death
.
2.
That
it
will
come
very
shortly
.
It
is
not
long
,
but
we
must
all
go
down
to
the
house
of
rottennesse
.
This
life
is
but
as
an
hand-breadth
,
as
a
vapor
,
&c.
swifter
than
a
post
,
and
passeth
away
as
the
swift
ships
,
and
as
the
Eagle
that
hasteth
to
the
prey
,
it
is
nothing
else
but
a
salve
vale
.
3.
Uncertainly
,
as
to
the
time
when
,
the
place
where
,
and
the
manner
how
.
Your
Almanacks
will
tell
you
when
the
next
Eclipse
of
the
Sunne
and
Moone
will
be
.
But
there
is
no
Almanacks
will
tell
you
when
the
Eclipse
of
your
lives
will
be
.
This
comes
uncertainly
;
And
therefore
uncertainly
,
to
provoke
us
to
be
always
ready
,
because
we
know
not
in
what
hour
the
Son
of
man
will
come
,

oftentimes
it
comes
suddenly
like

Like

the

of

3.
Death
will
not
tarry
till
we
be
ready
for
it
.
The
young
man
as
Gregory
the
great
relates
it
)
when
he
saw
he
must
die
cried
out
,
Inducias
Domine
usque
ad
mane
,
Lord
tarry
till
to
morrow
;
but
God
would
not
heare
.
Death
comes
unavoidably
,
and
if
it
findes
us
unprovided
,
it
sends
us
to
hell
without
remedy
.
Adde
to
this
6.
It
comes
but
once
.
It
is
appointed
for
all
men
once
to
die
.
When
once
dead
,
no
living
againe
to
provide
better
for
death
.
And
therefore
we
had
need
be
careful
ut
semel
pie
moriamur
(
as
Paraeus
saith
)
that
we
may
once
die
well
;
for
we
cannot
live
again
upon
earth
to
live
better
.
7.
That
after
death
comes
judgement
,
and
after
judgement
everlasting
happinesse
,
or
everlasting
misery
.
Death
is
nothing
else
but
a
passage
to
judgement
.
A
thorough-fare
to
heaven
,
or
hell
.
Did
we
consider
these
things
,
and
consider
them
seriously
as
we
ought
to
do
,
it
would
work
very
many
gracious
and
most
glorious
effects
in
us
.
Therefore
Moses
saith
very
emphatically
:
O
that
men
were
wise
,
that
they
understood
this
,
that
they
would
consider
their
latter
end
;
and
prayeth
very
earnestly
.
So
teach
us
O
Lord
to
number
our
dayes
,
that
we
may
apply
our
hearts
unto
wisdom
.
The
very
heathens
have
been
much
in
the
meditation
of
death
.
Plato
tells
us
,
that
true
Philosophy
is
nothing
else
but
a
meditation
of
death
.
The
Egyptians
in
all
their
great
feasts
had
a
deaths-head
served
in
as
one
dish
,
to
teach
them
sobrietie
and
temperance
in
eating
and
drinking
.
This
meditation
if
sanctified
will
be
1.
A
soveraign
antidote
against
all
sin
.
Sume
hoc
remedium
contra
omnia
peccata
.
Would
you
have
a
preservative
against
all
sin
.
Remember
thy
latter
end
and
thou
shalt
never
do
amisse
.
As
a
copy
is
then
safest
from
blotting
when
dust
is
cast
upon
it
,
so
are
we
from
sinning
while
we
remember
that
we
are
but
dust
.
Jerusalems
filthiness
was
in
her
〈◊〉
,
because
she
remembred
not
her
latter
end
,
Lam.
1.
9.
2.
It
will
marvellously
weane
us
from
the
love
of
the
world
.
It
is
the
Apostles
argument
,
1
John
2.
15
,
16
,
17.
Love
not
the
world
,
nor
the
things
in
the
world
;
—
for
the
world-passeth
away
.
It
passeth
away
as
Jonas
his
gourd
when
he
had
most
need
of
it
;
And
as
Absoloms
mule
which
passed
from
under
him
,
and
left
him
hanging
on
the
tree
.
To
what
purpose
do
we
provide
multum
viatici
,
when
we
have
but
parum
viae
;
much
victuals
,
when
we
have
but
a
short
journey
?
The
like
argument
is
used
,
1
Cor.
7.
29.
30
,
31.
3.
It
will
make
Jesus
Christ
and
his
righteousness
very
pretious
to
us
.
For
it
is
Christ
only
that
can
unsting
death
,
and
sweeten
it
,
and
make
it
comfortable
and
desirable
.
And
therefore
the
Apostle
accounts
all
things
dung
and
drosse
,
that
he
might
gaine
Christ
and
be
found
in
him
at
that
great
day
,
not
having
his
own
righteousnesse
,
but
that
which
is
through
the
faith
of
Christ
,
the
righteousuesse
which
is
of
God
by
faith
.
And
St.
John
saith
,
Blessed
are
the
dead
which
dye
in
the
Lord
,
for
they
rest
from
their
labours
,
&c.
He
that
dies
in
Christ
,
shall
certainly
go
to
Christ
.
4.
It
will
exceedingly
quicken
us
to
provide
effectually
,
and
to
speed
and
hasten
our
provisions
for
heaven
.
There
is
nothing
will
more
provoke
us
to
labour
for
that
life
which
never
shall
have
an
end
,
than
the
serious
consideration
that
this
life
will
shortly
have
an
end
.
These
all
died
.
This
is
the
first
inference
.
The
second
Doctrine
.
That
the
best
of
men
must
die
as
well
as
the
worst
of
men
.
These
all
died
.
These
godly
persons
died
,
as
well
as
others
.
Abraham
the
Father
of
the
faithful
,
and
Sarah
the
Mother
of
the
faithful
.
Godly
Isaac
,
〈…〉
Jacob
.
These
all
died
.
The
husband
,
and
the
wife
.
The
father
,
the
child
,
and
grandchild
,
all
godly
,
and
yet
all
these
died
.
The
first
that
ever
tasted
of
death
was
a
godly
man
,
even
godly
Abel
.
For
the
godly
have
the
same
principle
of
mortality
within
them
which
others
have
.
They
dwell
in
houses
of
clay
,
whose
foundation
is
in
the
dust
.
And
they
have
the
same
remainders
of
sinne
in
them
to
make
them
liable
to
death
which
others
have
.
They
have
idem
fundamentum
mortis
,
&
idem
demeritum
.
But
besides
these
,
there
are
proper
and
peculiar
reasons
why
the
godly
must
die
not
only
as
well
,
but
rather
than
others
.
For
,
1.
They
shall
never
be
freed
from
sicknesse
,
sorrow
,
and
laborious
employments
.
They
shall
never
have
all
teares
wiped
from
their
eyes
till
they
die
.
2.
They
shall
never
be
free
from
the
persecutions
of
wicked
and
ungodly
men
,
and
from
the
temptations
of
the
devil
till
they
die
.
3.
They
shall
never
be
rid
of
the
body
of
sin
,
till
they
put
off
the
body
of
the
flesh
.
4.
They
shall
never
be
perfected
in
grace
till
they
die
.
5.
They
shall
never
see
God
face
to
face
,
never
be
with
Christ
in
glory
till
they
die
.
They
shall
never
be
cloathed
with
the
house
which
is
from
above
,
till
they
be
uncloathed
of
their
earthly
Tabernacle
.
Therefore
blessed
be
God
that
they
must
die
.
For
if
they
had
hope
only
in
this
life
,
they
were
of
all
people
most
miserable
.
O
that
I
could
perswade
the
people
of
God
to
look
upon
death
with
a
paire
of
Scripture-spectacles
.
Death
in
it selfe
considered
,
is
the
King
of
terrors
,
and
of
all
terrible
things
most
terrible
.
It
is
as
a
fiery
serpent
with
a
biting
and
destroying
sting
.
But
to
you
that
are
in
Christ
〈…〉
all
comfortable
things
most
comfortable
.
It
is
as
a
〈◊〉
without
a
sting
.
It
is
(
as
the
brazen
Serpent
was
to
the
Isralites
)
not
a
hurting
,
but
a
healing
Serpent
.
It
is
your
birth-day
.
The
birth-day
of
heavens
eternity
.
It
is
not
an
annihilation
,
or
utter
extinction
of
you
,
but
an
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
as
the
Apostle
Peter
calls
it
,
A
going
out
of
Egypt
into
Canaan
.
An
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
as
the
Apostle
Paul
calls
it
.
An
hoysing
up
(
as
it
were
)
of
the
sailes
for
heaven
,
a
letting
out
the
soul
as
a
bird
out
of
the
cage
of
the
body
,
that
it
may
fly
to
heaven
.
An
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
as
old
Simeon
calls
it
,
a
departure
from
earth
to
heaven
:
a
going
from
your
own
houses
,
to
your
Fathers
house
:
a
putting
off
of
the
ragges
of
mortalitie
,
that
you
may
be
cloathed
with
the
robes
of
immortality
.
In
a
word
.
It
is
an
out-let
to
all
misery
,
and
an
in-let
to
perfect
and
perpetual
happinesse
.
It
is
sepultura
laborum
,
vitiorum
&
lachrymarum
.
The
burying
of
all
troubles
,
sins
,
and
teares
.
When
a
godly
man
dies
,
homo
non
moritur
,
sed
peccatum
hominis
.
The
man
doth
not
die
,
but
the
mans
sins
.
Nothing
dies
in
him
totally
and
finally
but
sin
.
For
the
soul
doth
not
die
at
all
,
but
goes
to
live
with
God
in
endlesse
happiness
.
And
the
body
(
though
turned
to
dust
)
shall
rise
againe
unto
the
resurrection
of
life
,
and
be
made
glorious
,
like
unto
the
glorious
body
of
Jesus
Christ
.
But
the
bloody
issue
of
sin
is
totally
and
finally
dried
up
by
death
in
every
true
childe
of
God
.
Let
all
that
feare
the
Lord
comfort
themselves
against
the
feare
of
death
with
these
considerations
.
This
is
the
second
inference
.

That

,

and
as
a
Prince
had

and
with

and
prevailed
over
both
.
These
all
died
.
The
Cardinal
of
Winchester
(
commonly
called
the
rich
Cardinal
,
who
procured
the
death
of
the
good
Duke
of
Glocester
in
the
raign
of
King
Henry
the
sixth
,
and
was
shortly
after
struck
with
an
incurable
disease
,
)
when
he
understood
by
his
Physitians
that
he
could
not
live
;
murmuring
and
repining
thereat
,
cried
out
,
Fie
?
will
not
death
be
hired
?
will
money
do
nothing
?
must
I
die
that
have
so
great
riches
?
If
the
whole
realme
of
England
would
save
my
life
,
I
am
able
either
by
policy
to
get
it
,
or
by
riches
to
buy
it
.
But
yet
all
would
not
availe
,
to
keep
him
from
dying
of
the
same
disease
.
What
man
is
he
that
liveth
(
saith
David
)
and
shall
not
see
death
?
The
Hebrew
is
,
What
strong
man
liveth
and
shall
not
see
death
?
shall
he
deliver
his
soul
from
the
hand
of
the
grave
?
What
's
become
of
Alexander
the
great
?
Pompey
the
great
?
Charles
the
great
?
Are
they
not
all
dead
?
This
day
we
have
a
sad
example
before
us
of
the
death
of
a
very
great
,
and
most
Noble
person
.
Wise
men
die
(
saith
David
)
as
well
as
fools
,
and
great
,
as
well
as
small
.
The
mortal
sithe
(
saith
one
)
is
Master
of
the
Royal
Scepter
,
and
it
moweth
down
the
lillies
of
the
Crown
as
well
as
the
grasse
of
the
field
.
These
all
died
.
And
die
they
must
though
never
so
unwilling
.
I
could
tell
a
doleful
story
of
a
great
man
,
who
when
he
saw
there
was
no
remedy
but
he
must
die
,
cried
out
in
a
lamentable
manner
,
let
me
live
the
life
of
a
toad
rather
than
dye
.
But
yet
he
died
.
And
of
another
,
who
when
he
saw
he
must
die
,
caused
himselfe
to
be
carried
to
the
place
where
his
baggs
of
gold
and
silver
were
,
and
taking
them
up
in
his
armes
,
and
hugging
them
,
was
heard
to
say
,
must
you
and
I
part
?
but
part
they
did
though
unwillingly
.
Rich
men
,
and
Noble-men
must
die
whether
willing
or
unwilling
.
And
when
they
die
they
must
carry
nothing
out
of
the
world
with
them
.
Naked
they
came
out
of
their
mothers
wombe
,
and
naked
they
must
returne
thither
.
They
brought
nothing
into
this
world
,
and
it
is
certaine
they
can
carry
nothing
out
.
And
therefore
when
a
rich
man
dies
the
ordinary
saying
is
,
what
hath
he
left
behind
him
!
for
he
cannot
carry
any
thing
with
him
.
There
is
a
famous
story
of
Saladine
the
great
Sultan
of
Egypt
,
who
when
he
was
dying
caused
his
coffin
to
be
carried
thorough
the
campe
where
all
his
souldiers
were
,
with
this
saying
,
Saladinus
totus
Asiae
Dominator
ex
tanto
imperio
tantisque
opibus
,
&c.
Saladine
the
great
Ruler
of
all
Asia
,
of
all
his
Empire
,
and
all
his
wealth
carrieth
nothing
out
of
the
world
with
him
,
but
his
coffin
and
his
winding
sheet
.
Death
is
the
greatest
of
Levellers
.
It
levels
the
mountains
with
the
valleyes
.
The
Skeletons
and
bones
of
great
men
have
no
inscriptions
,
or
titles
of
honour
put
upon
them
.
Diogenes
told
Alexander
that
he
could
finde
no
difference
between
the
bones
of
his
Father
Philip
,
and
other
mens
bones
.
When
the
Chesse-men
are
put
into
the
bagge
they
are
all
alike
.
There
is
no
difference
between
the
dust
of
an
Earle
,
and
of
a
beggar
.
The
only
use
I
shall
make
of
this
is
,
To
beseech
those
who
are
great
in
estate
and
in
honours
to
remember
that
they
must
die
as
well
as
others
.
Though
they
be
as
Gods
upon
earth
,
yet
they
must
dye
like
men
.
It
is
no
easie
matter
to
perswade
rich
and
noble
persons
to
remember
their
mortality
.
Lewis
the
eleventh
King
of
France
in
his
last
sicknesse
commanded
his
servants
not
to
name
the
word
Death
unto
him
;
But
when
he
saw
there
was
no
remedy
,
he
sent
for
the
Holy
water
from
Rhemes
,
together
with
Aarons
rod
,
as
they
called
it
,
and
other
holy
reliques
,
thinking
therewith
to
stop
deaths
mouth
,
and
to
stave
him
off
;
but
it
would
not
be
.
O
miser
(
saith
one
thereupon
)
hoc
assidue
timés
quod
semel
faciendum
est
?
hoc
times
quod
in
tuä
manu
est
ne
timeas
?
Pietatem
assume
,
superstitionem
omitte
;
mors
tua
vita
erit
,
&
quidem
beata
&
aeterna
.
O
miserable
wretch
,
why
doest
thou
daily
fear
that
which
one
day
must
come
to
passe
?
why
doest
thou
feare
that
which
is
in
thy
power
not
to
feare
?
leave
off
thy
superstitions
,
labour
after
true
piety
,
and
then
thy
death
will
become
life
,
yea
a
most
blessed
and
eternal
life
.
If
I
be
not
mistaken
this
was
one
reason
why
Ahashueroah
would
not
suffer
any
cloathed
with
sackcloath
to
enter
his
Courtgates
;
least
his
excessive
mirth
and
jollity
should
be
damped
,
and
interrupted
by
the
sad
thought
of
death
.
The
wise
man
tells
us
,
O
death
how
bitter
is
thy
memory
to
one
who
hath
great
possessions
!
And
indeed
if
the
not
thinking
of
death
,
could
free
you
from
the
stroak
of
death
,
it
were
worth
the
while
not
to
think
of
death
.
But
whether
you
think
of
it
,
or
not
,
death
will
come
,
and
by
not
remembring
of
it
your
lives
prove
to
be
full
of
abominations
,
and
death
is
made
a
trap-door
to
let
you
down
into
eternal
damnation
.
And
therefore
let
me
beseech
you
to
imitate
Philip
King
of
Macedon
,
who
appointed
a
boy
every
morning
to
come
to
him
and
to
say
to
him
,
Remember
thou
art
a
man
and
must
die
.
And
the
Emperors
of
Constantinople
,
who
on
their
Coronation
day
,
had
a
Mason
appointed
to
present
unto
them
certaine
marble
stones
,
using
these
ensuing
words
,
Elige
ab
his
saxis
ex
quo
(
invictissime
Caesar
)
Ipse
tibi
tumulum
me
fabricare
velis
.
Choose
(
mighty
Sir
)
under
which
of
these
stones
Your
pleasure
is
ere
long
to
lay
your
bones
.
Or
if
you
will
have
a
Scripture-example
,
Let
me
beseech
you
to
imitate
that
rich
and
great
person
,
Joseph
of
Arimathea
who
built
his
Sepulchre
in
his
garden
.
In
the
midst
of
all
your
pleasures
and
pastimes
remember
you
must
shortly
leave
them
.
It
was
a
wise
speech
of
Charles
the
fifth
to
the
Duke
of
Venice
,
who
,
when
he
had
shewed
him
the
glory
of
his
Princely
Palace
,
and
earthly
Paradise
,
instead
of
admiring
it
,
or
him
for
it
,
only
returned
him
this
grave
and
serious
memento
,
Haec
sunt
quae
faciunt
nos
invitos
mori
.
These
are
the
things
which
make
us
unwilling
to
die
.
To
prevent
this
unwillingnesse
,
build
your
Sepulchres
in
your
earthly
Paradises
,
and
remember
that
you
must
very
shortly
die
,
and
that
after
death
comes
judgement
.
And
that
you
must
all
appeare
before
the
tribunal
seat
of
Christ
to
give
a
strict
and
impartial
account
of
whatsoever
you
have
done
in
the
flesh
,
whether
it
be
good
or
evil
.
Let
great
men
remember
,
That
great
,
and
small
must
stand
before
the
great
God
of
heaven
and
earth
at
the
great
day
of
judgement
,
and
that
their
greatnesse
will
nothing
at
all
availe
them
at
that
day
.
Greatnesse
without
goodnesse
will
be
but
as
a
great
fagot
to
burne
them
the
more
in
hell
.
They
that
are
great
in
place
,
and
greater
in
sin
,
shall
have
great
damnation
.
Where
God
hath
bestowed
great
benefits
,
if
they
be
accompanied
with
great
iniquities
,
God
will
plague
them
with
great
punishments
.
It
is
said
,
Rev.
6.
15
,
16.
The
Kings
of
the
earth
and
the
great
men
,
and
the
rich
men
,
and
the
chief
captaines
,
and
the
mightie
men
,
&c.
hid
themselves
in
the
dens
,
and
in
the
rocks
of
the
mountains
:
And
said
to
the
mountains
▪
and
rocks
Fall
on
us
,
and
hide
us
from
the
face
of
him
that
sitteth
on
the
throne
and
from
the
wrath
of
the
Lamb
,
&c.
Therefore
let
rich
men
labour
to
be
righteous
as
well
as
rich
,
and
great
men
to
be
good
as
well
as
great
!
for
riches
without
righteousnesse
is
but
as
a
golden
jewel
in
a
swines
snout
,
and
greatnesse
without
goodnesse
is
,
but
as
the
greatnesse
of
a
man
sick
of
the
dropsie
which
is
not
his
happiness
,
but
his
disease
.
Remember
Abraham
▪
who
though
he
was
a
Lord
and
a
mightie
Prince
,
yet
he
was
also
a
friend
of
Gods
,
and
the
Father
of
the
faithful
:
Though
he
was
rich
in
gold
and
silver
,
yet
he
was
richer
in
faith
and
obedience
.
And
though
he
had
three
hundred
and
eightteen
trained
servants
in
his
house
,
yet
he
was
exactly
carefull
to
traine
them
all
up
in
the
wayes
and
Commandements
of
God
.
And
remember
Jacob
,
and
how
God
himselfe
changed
his
name
,
and
called
him
Israel
because
he
wrestled
with
God
,
and
as
a
Prince
had
power
with
God
and
man
,
and
by
prayers
and
teares
prevailed
over
them
.
When
greatnesse
and
goodnesse
meet
together
,
it
is
like
apples
of
gold
in
pictures
of
silver
;
It
is
as
an
embroidery
upon
an
embroidery
.
And
therefore
let
great
men
labour
to
be
good
men
.
The
more
you
have
of
holiness
the
fitter
you
will
be
for
happiness
.
The
more
you
have
of
grace
,
the
fitter
you
will
be
for
glory
.
This
is
the
third
inference
.
Doctrine
4.
That
it
is
not
enough
for
a
Christian
to
live
in
the
faith
,
but
he
must
also
die
in
the
faith
.
This
text
takes
notice
of
the
constancy
and
perseverance
of
these
holy
men
.
They
persevered
in
the
faith
unto
the
end
maugre
all
oppositions
and
temptations
to
the
contrary
.
They
did
live
in
the
faith
,
and
continued
living
in
the
faith
,
and
as
they
lived
so
they
died
.
These
all
dyed
in
faith
.
Perseverance
in
grace
is
maximum
donum
Dei
(
saith
Austin
)
the
greatest
of
Gods
gifts
,
or
graces
,
without
which
no
other
gift
,
or
grace
,
will
availe
unto
salvation
.
Therefore
Christ
saith
,
he
that
endureth
to
the
end
shall
be
saved
.
And
be
thou
faithful
unto
the
death
,
and
I
will
give
thee
the
crown
of
life
.
No
grace
will
make
us
worthy
to
obtaine
the
crown
of
glory
,
but
perseverance
:
he
that
would
go
to
heaven
must
not
only
live
well
,
but
die
well
.
Though
a
man
continue
never
so
long
in
holinesse
,
yet
if
he
fall
away
before
his
death
,
all
his
righteousnesse
that
he
hath
done
shall
not
be
mentioned
;
in
his
trespasse
that
he
hath
trespassed
,
and
in
his
sin
that
he
hath
sinned
in
them
shall
he
dye
.
If
Methuselah
who
lived
nine
hundred
sixty
nine
years
had
fallen
away
from
grace
the
last
year
of
his
life
he
had
been
undone
for
ever
.
Wherefore
my
beloved
brethren
let
me
beseech
you
not
only
to
beleeve
,
but
to
persevere
in
beleeving
,
not
only
to
be
holy
but
to
persevere
in
holinesse
,
and
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
To
perfect
holinesse
in
the
feare
of
God
.
The
Greek
word
is
to
finish
holinesse
.
The
beauty
,
glory
and
goodness
of
every
thing
is
when
it
is
finished
.
A
garment
till
it
be
finished
is
of
no
use
,
nor
a
shop
,
nor
a
house
till
finished
.
A
house
halfe
built
,
and
halfe
unbuilt
is
good
for
nothing
.
The
excellency
of
a
Christian
is
not
only
to
be
holy
,
but
to
finish
holinesse
,
not
only
to
have
a
good
beginning
,
but
a
happy
closure
,
and
conclusion
of
his
life
.
This
is
a
necessary
lesson
in
this
Apostatizing
age
wherein
so
many
sons
of
the
morning
,
and
children
of
high
illumination
are
fallen
into
the
darknesse
of
sin
,
and
errour
:
and
many
,
who
in
outward
appearance
were
as
fixt
starres
,
are
now
proved
falling
starres
;
in
so
much
,
that
if
Mr.
Fox
were
alive
againe
,
he
would
see
cause
rather
to
write
a
book
of
Apostates
than
a
book
of
Martyrs
.
And
there
are
also
some
risen
up
amongst
us
,
who
(
being
many
of
them
Apostatized
themselves
)
begin
to
preach
the
Doctrine
of
the
Apostacy
of
the
Saints
.
Give
me
leave
therefore
to
perswade
you
,
1.
To
be
rooted
and
established
in
the
Doctrine
of
Perseverance
.
2.
To
practise
the
Doctrine
of
Perseverance
.
1.
To
be
rooted
and
established
in
the
Doctrine
of
the
Perseverance
of
the
Saints
.
And
to
beleeve
that
whosoever
is
truly
united
unto
Jesus
Christ
by
a
lively
faith
,
shall
be
so
preserved
by
Christ
in
the
use
of
all
Gospel-means
,
that
he
shall
never
totally
and
finally
fall
away
.
Christ
Jesus
at
the
day
of
judgement
will
have
a
compleat
body
mystical
,
as
well
as
natural
.
He
will
not
loose
any
of
his
real
members
,
for
then
his
body
should
be
incompleat
.
There
was
a
book
written
in
King
James
his
dayes
by
Bertius
,
of
the
Apostacy
of
the
Saints
.
This
book
the
forenamed
King
calls
(
in
a
letter
written
to
the
States
of
Holland
)
A
book
with
a
blasphemous
title
.
And
a
learned
Professor
of
Oxford
calls
it
a
book
with
an
execrable
title
.
And
surely
if
it
was
blasphemous
and
execrable
then
,
it
is
as
bad
now
.
I
will
notenter
upon
the
controversie
:
there
are
books
lately
written
to
very
good
purpose
for
the
justification
of
the
doctrine
of
perseverance
.
To
me
it
is
sufficient
;
that
God
hath
said
it
;
and
shallnot
he
do
it
?
he
hath
said
,
whom
he
justified
,
them
he
also
glorified
.
He
hath
said
,
The
servant
abideth
not
in
the
house
for
ever
:
but
the
Son
abideth
ever
.
He
hath
said
,
my
sheep
heare
my
voyce
and
I
know
them
,
and
they
follow
me
,
and
I
will
give
unto
them
eternal
life
,
and
they
shall
never
perish
,
neither
shall
any
pluck
them
o●t
of
my
hand
.
My
Father
which
gave
them
me
,
is
greater
than
all
,
and
no
man
is
able
to
pluck
them
out
of
my
Fathers
hand
.
He
hath
said
,
I
will
put
my
feare
in
their
hearts
,
that
they
shall
not
depart
from
me
.
He
hath
said
,
Neverthelesse
the
foundation
of
God
standeth
sure
,
having
this
seale
,
the
Lord
knoweth
who
are
his
,
&c.
Though
Hymeneus
and
Philetas
have
not
stood
sure
,
yet
the
foundation
of
God
standeth
sure
.
He
hath
said
,
being
confident
in
this
very
thing
,
that
he
that
hath
begun
a
good
work
in
you
will
performe
it
untill
the
day
of
Christ
.
And
that
we
are
kept
by
the
power
of
God
through
faith
unto
salvation
.
And
whosoever
is
borne
of
God
doth
not
commit
sin
;
for
his
seed
remaineth
in
him
,
and
he
cannot
sin
because
he
is
born
of
God
.
He
hath
said
,
I
have
prayed
for
thee
that
thy
faith
faile
not
.
And
he
is
now
in
heaven
at
the
right
hand
of
his
Father
making
intercession
for
us
.
And
the
chief
end
of
his
intercession
is
,
that
God
would
uphold
and
continue
us
in
his
favour
unto
the
end
:
Christ
doth
not
intercede
(
as
some
would
have
it
)
That
God
would
save
us
if
we
persevere
.
(
There
is
little
need
of
this
,
and
lesse
comfort
in
it
)
But
he
intercedes
,
that
we
may
persevere
.
And
God
in
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
doth
not
only
promise
to
give
us
heaven
if
we
beleeve
,
and
persevere
;
but
also
to
give
us
in
the
use
of
means
to
beleeve
and
persevere
.
Now
then
,
if
God
the
Father
hath
decreed
the
perseverance
of
the
Saints
;
if
he
hath
promised
that
they
shall
persevere
,
and
that
he
will
enable
them
by
his
power
unto
it
.
If
God
the
Son
hath
prayed
that
the
faith
of
all
those
who
were
given
to
him
by
the
Father
should
not
faile
,
and
if
he
ever
liveth
to
make
intercession
for
them
,
that
they
may
never
utterly
fall
.
If
God
the
holy
Ghost
be
given
to
the
Saints
to
abide
in
them
for
ever
,
and
if
the
seed
of
God
abides
in
them
to
keep
them
from
total
and
final
Apostacy
;
then
we
may
safely
conclude
;
that
the
Doctrine
of
the
perseverance
of
the
Saints
is
most
agreeable
to
Scripture
,
and
that
it
is
our
duty
to
be
stedfast
and
unmoveable
in
it
.
Quest
.
Did
not
Saint
Austin
himselfe
the
great
Champion
of
free
grace
,
against
the
Pelagians
,
hold
the
doctrine
of
the
Apostacy
of
the
Saints
?
For
though
he
saith
,
That
an
elect
justified
person
shall
never
finally
fall
away
,
yet
he
seems
to
say
,
that
there
are
many
truely
justified
who
are
not
elect
,
and
that
justification
,
and
election
are
not
termes
convertible
.
And
that
many
are
justified
by
a
faith
working
by
charity
,
who
(
not
being
elected
)
fall
away
totally
and
finally
.
Answ.
I
must
not
deny
but
that
this
opinion
is
charged
upon
St.
Austin
by
some
learned
men
;
and
a
Reverend
Divine
hath
lately
in
a
book
printed
about
this
subject
asserted
it
as
a
thing
undubitable
and
without
controversie
,
and
for
this
end
he
brings
many
sayings
out
of
his
works
which
favour
this
opinion
.
But
this
learned
brother
may
,
if
he
please
,
read
an
answer
to
most
of
those
quotations
long
ago
given
by
Bishop
Abbot
in
his
animadversions
upon
Tompsons
Diatriba
de
amissione
&
intercisione
justificationis
&
gratiae
.
And
he
may
likewise
find
many
sayings
brought
out
of
St.
Austin
which
do
most
fully
and
clearly
prove
,
that
he
held
not
only
that
no
elect
man
can
finally
fall
away
,
but
also
that
none
but
the
elect
are
justified
,
and
that
those
who
are
truely
justified
can
never
fall
away
.
As
for
example
.
God
(
saith
Austin
)
calleth
none
with
that
calling
which
is
according
to
his
purpose
,
but
such
whom
he
hath
predestinated
;
and
he
justifieth
none
,
but
those
whom
he
thus
calleth
;
and
glorifieth
none
,
but
those
whom
he
hath
predestinated
,
called
,
and
justified
,
&c.
Againe
,
speaking
of
the
vessels
of
wrath
and
of
the
reprobates
he
saith
,
That
God
brings
none
of
them
to
sound
and
spiritual
repentance
,
by
which
a
man
is
reconciled
to
God
in
Christ
,
whether
he
waites
longer
on
them
,
(
then
on
the
elect
)
or
shorter
.
In
another
place
he
saith
,
That
God
doth
not
forgive
the
sins
of
all
men
,
but
only
of
those
whom
he
hath
foreknown
and
whom
he
hath
predestinated
.
Againe
,
he
saith
in
another
place
.
That
the
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
to
wit
,
the
love
of
God
shed
abroad
in
our
hearts
by
the
holy
Ghost
is
given
only
to
those
who
shall
raigne
with
Christ
for
ever
in
heaven
.
Strangers
(
saith
he
)
that
is
such
who
shall
never
inherit
the
Kingdome
of
heaven
,
have
some
of
those
things
which
are
given
to
the
house
of
God
.
But
the
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
is
proper
to
the
Saints
,
of
which
no
stranger
doth
communicate
,
that
is
,
no
man
that
shall
never
inherit
the
Kingdome
of
heaven
.
This
is
wanting
to
all
the
malignant
,
and
sons
of
hell
,
although
they
are
baptized
with
the
baptisme
of
Christ
as
Simon
Magus
was
.
Therefore
he
calls
that
a
peculiar
fountaine
of
waters
running
down
the
streets
of
the
Saints
,
and
no where
else
.
In
other
places
he
saith
,
That
Christ
justifieth
none
but
those
who
are
members
of
his
body
.
And
no
man
is
made
alive
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
but
he
that
is
a
member
of
his
body
.
And
that
no
man
is
indeed
and
in
truth
a
member
of
Christs
body
,
who
shall
not
be
with
him
in
heaven
to
all
eternity
.
These
places
and
many
more
which
might
be
brought
and
are
brought
by
the
forementioned
Author
,
are
sufficient
to
prove
that
according
to
the
mind
of
St.
Austin
none
but
the
elect
of
God
are
in
time
effectually
called
,
and
really
justified
and
pardoned
,
and
made
partakers
of
the
holy
Ghost
and
become
real
members
of
Christs
body
,
and
therefore
the
effectually
called
,
and
justified
,
&c.
can
no
more
fall
away
than
the
elect
,
which
all
confesse
to
be
under
an
impossibility
of
Apostacy
in
St.
Austins
judgment
.
2.
Let
me
perswade
you
not
only
to
beleeve
,
but
to
practise
the
doctrine
of
perseverance
:
For
there
are
Divers
learned
men
that
are
so
much
scandalized
at
the
great
Apostacy
of
some
eminent
professours
in
our
unhappy
dayes
,
that
they
begin
to
be
stagger'd
,
and
to
doubt
of
the
truth
of
the
doctrine
of
Perseverance
.
But
these
men
forget
the
saying
of
the
Apostle
,
They
went
out
from
us
,
but
they
were
not
of
us
;
for
if
they
had
been
of
us
,
they
would
no
doubt
have
continued
with
us
:
but
they
went
out
that
they
might
be
made
manifest
,
that
they
were
not
all
of
us
.
For
my
part
,
I
conceive
,
that
these
Reverend
and
learned
men
should
rather
doubt
of
the
truth
of
their
graces
whom
they
see
thus
foully
to
A
postatize
,
than
of
the
truth
of
the
Doctrine
of
Perseverance
.
But
howsoever
,
let
us
take
heed
of
laying
this
stumbling
block
:
least
by
our
practical
Apostacy
men
should
begin
to
turne
Doctrinal
Apostates
.
Let
us
labour
to
dye
well
,
as
well
as
to
live
well
,
to
continue
and
persevere
in
wel-doing
.
It
is
the
great
commendation
of
the
Saints
in
the
text
,
That
they
died
in
the
faith
.
These
all
dyed
in
faith
.
Remember
what
Christ
saith
,
No
man
having
put
his
hand
to
the
plough
,
and
looking
back
is
fit
for
the
Kingdome
of
God
.
And
what
the
Apostle
Paul
saith
:
If
any
man
draw
back
,
my
soul
shall
have
no
pleasure
in
him
:
but
we
are
not
of
them
who
draw
back
unto
perdition
,
&c.
And
what
the
Apostle
Peter
saith
▪
It
had
been
better
for
them
not
to
have
known
the
way
of
righteousnesse
,
than
after
they
have
known
it
,
to
turne
from
the
holy
commandment
delivered
to
them
,
&c.
Remember
also
Lots
wife
.
She
did
only
look
back
,
she
did
not
go
back
,
and
yet
she
was
turned
into
a
pillar
of
salt
.
As
God
hath
fire
and
brimstone
for
a
Sodomite
,
so
he
hath
a
pillar
of
salt
for
an
Apostate
.
But
why
do
you
exhort
us
to
persevere
when
as
you
tell
us
,
that
if
we
be
true
Saints
we
cannot
but
persevere
?
1.
We
do
not
say
,
it
is
simply
and
absolutely
impossible
for
a
Saint
not
to
persevere
.
(
For
if
you
consider
the
Saints
as
they
are
in
themselves
,
and
the
mightinesse
and
multitude
of
their
spiritual
enemies
,
it
is
impossible
for
them
not
to
fall
away
)
But
we
say
it
is
impossible
upon
supposition
.
Considering
the
unchangeable
nature
of
God
,
and
the
unchangeable
decree
and
purpose
of
God
,
and
the
unchangeable
Covenant
,
promises
and
Oath
of
God
,
in
this
respect
we
say
it
is
impossible
.
2.
Scripture
exhortations
are
divine
motives
and
meanes
to
perswade
and
enable
the
Saints
to
persevere
,
and
they
are
so
farre
from
interfering
with
,
or
nullifying
of
the
promises
of
faith
and
perseverance
,
that
they
are
(
many
of
them
)
built
and
grounded
upon
them
.

What
meanes
must
I
use
that
I
may
hold
out
and
continue
unto
the
end
,
and
not
only
live
in
the
faith
,
but
also
dye
in
it
.
1.
Dig
deep
in
humiliation
.
The
stony
ground
fell
away
for
want
of
depth
of
earth
.
Humility
is
the
best
preservative
of
grace
.
The
lower
the
foundation
,
the
surer
the
building
.
Spiritual
pride
paves
a
causey
to
Apostacy
.
A
chesnut
put
whole
into
the
fire
will
fly
out
.
It
is
the
broken
heart
only
that
will
persevere
.
2.
Labour
for
sincerity
and
uprightness
of
heart
.
As
the
firmnesse
of
a
pillar
is
in
the
uprightnesse
of
it
(
if
once
it
begins
to
bow
,
it
will
quickly
break
.
)
So
the
firmnesse
and
stability
of
a
Christian
is
in
his
sincerity
and
uprightnesse
.
Rottenness
of
heart
betrayeth
a
man
into
Apostacy
.
A
rotten
apple
will
quickly
appeare
so
outwardly
;
So
will
a
rotten
Christian
.
If
ever
you
would
persevere
,
take
heed
of
making
use
of
Religion
for
the
promotion
of
your
carnal
interest
.
He
that
serves
God
for
an
earthly
Kingdome
,
when
he
bath
got
what
he
sought
for
,
will
forsake
God
as
Jehu
did
.
He
that
followeth
Christ
only
for
the
loaves
,
will
leave
Christ
when
he
hath
got
them
.
3.
Labour
for
a
tender
conscience
.
This
will
keep
us
from
the
least
degree
of
Apostacy
.
As
hot
water
grow's
cold
by
degrees
:
first
it
is
luke-warme
,
before
it
is
starke
cold
:
So
a
Christian
declines
into
Apostacy
by
degrees
.
Lots
wife
first
lingred
,
and
then
afterwards
lookt
back
:
first
we
slack
our
pace
in
Religion
,
then
we
stand
still
,
and
at
last
turne
back
.
But
now
a
tender
conscience
will
keep
us
from
the
least
abatement
of
zeale
and
forwardnesse
in
Religion
.
4.
Be
not
high
minded
but
feare
.
I
speak
not
of
a
feare
of
diffidence
and
distrustfulnesse
,
but
of
a
feare
of
diligence
and
watchfulnesse
.
He
that
would
be
secure
from
feare
,
let
him
feare
to
be
secure
.
Mr.
Saunders
by
his
feare
of
falling
away
kept
himselfe
from
Apostacy
:
whereas
Dr.
Pendleton
by
his
notorious
presumption
,
and
over-bold
confidence
fell
away
.
5.
Take
heed
least
there
be
in
any
of
you
an
evil
heart
of
unbelief
,
in
departing
from
the
living
God
.
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
will
end
in
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
:
Apostacy
is
the
child
of
unbelief
.
Faith
will
set
us
upon
a
rock
higher
than
us
,
even
such
a
rock
against
which
the
gates
of
hell
shall
never
prevaile
.
6.
Take
heed
of
the
inordinate
love
of
the
world
and
of
the
base
feare
of
men
.
The
love
of
mony
is
reckoned
by
the
Apostle
as
the
root
of
all
evil
in
general
,
and
more
especially
of
Apostacy
,
1
Tim.
6.
10.
—
Which
while
some
coveted
after
they
have
erred
from
the
faith
,
&c.
And
the
base
feare
of
men
was
the
cause
which
made
thousands
Apostatize
in
Queen
Maries
bloody
dayes
.
And
therefore
if
ever
you
would
persevere
,
you
must
labour
to
love
God
above
your
corruptions
,
relations
,
and
possessions
,
and
to
feare
sin
more
than
the
losse
of
estate
,
or
life
.
He
that
loves
God
above
the
world
,
will
never
forsake
God
to
gaine
the
world
.
He
that
feares
sin
more
than
death
,
will
rather
dye
than
sin
.
7.
Pray
unto
God
the
Father
,
Son
,
and
holy
Ghost
,
that
they
would
uphold
you
and
enable
you
not
only
to
live
,
but
to
dye
in
the
faith
.
Pray
to
the
Father
that
he
would
keep
you
by
his
power
through
faith
unto
salvation
:
that
he
would
uphold
you
by
his
mighty
hand
and
keep
you
from
falling
,
as
it
is
Psalm
37.
●4
.
Psalm
94.
18.
That
he
would
put
his
feare
in
your
hearts
that
you
may
never
depart
from
him
.
Pray
to
the
Son
,
that
he
would
apprehend
you
and
hold
you
so
fast
in
his
armes
that
none
may
pluck
you
out
of
his
hands
,
and
that
you
may
every
day
enjoy
the
benefit
of
his
Intercession
.
Pray
unto
the
holy
Ghost
that
he
would
abide
in
you
for
ever
,
and
give
you
the
earnest
of
your
inheritance
,
and
seale
you
up
unto
the
day
of
Redemption
.
So
much
for
the
fourth
inference
.
Doctrine
5.
That
to
dye
in
the
true
faith
,
is
a
noble
,
gallant
,
blessed
,
and
happy
●anner
of
dying
;
These
all
died
in
faith
.
Herein
especially
consisted
the
happy
condition
of
these
godly
Patriarks
,
that
they
lived
,
and
dyed
in
the
faith
.
It
is
put
down
by
way
of
commendation
,
and
left
upon
record
as
a
patterne
for
us
to
learne
to
die
by
.
They
died
in
the
faith
of
the
Messias
,
expecting
salvation
by
him
only
.
They
died
perswaded
of
the
promises
and
embracing
the
Lord
Jesus
.
Looking
,
waiting
and
confidently
hoping
for
a
City
which
hath
foundations
,
whose
builder
and
maker
is
God
.
There
is
a
double
manner
of
dying
.
1.
A
dying
in
sin
.
2.
A
dying
in
faith
.
1.
A
dying
in
sin
.
Of
this
we
read
,
John
8.
24.
If
you
beleeve
not
that
I
am
he
,
ye
shall
dye
in
your
sins
.
This
is
a
said
manner
of
dying
.
If
any
should
desire
me
to
give
him
a
character
of
a
man
in
a
cursed
condition
,
I
would
answer
,
He
is
one
who
is
dead
in
sin
while
he
lives
,
and
dies
in
his
sins
when
he
dies
.
It
is
a
happinesse
to
be
dead
to
sin
,
but
to
die
in
sin
is
misery
unexpressible
.
For
he
that
dieth
in
his
sins
shall
certainly
go
into
everlasting
damnation
.
He
that
dies
in
his
sins
dies
out
of
Christ
;
and
he
that
dieth
out
of
Christ
shall
never
go
to
Christ
.
2.
A
dying
in
faith
.
This
is
a
noble
,
gallant
and
blessed
manner
of
dying
;
heaven
it selfe
beares
witnesse
to
this
,
Rev.

I
heard
a
voyce
from

,
saying
unto
me
write
,
Blessed
are
the
dead
which
dye
in
the
Lord
,
that
is
,
united
unto
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
by
a
true
and
a
lively
faith
.
Such
as
these
are
happy
,
if
you
will
either
beleeve
a
voyce
from
heaven
,
or
the
voyce
of
the
Spirit
,
for
it
followeth
in
the
text
—
so
saith
the
Spirit
.
And
they
are
blessed
from
the
very
instant
of
their
death
.
So
it
is
in
the
same
place
—
from
henceforth
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
from
that
very
minute
:
for
their
souls
go
immediately
to
God
to
enjoy
perfect
and
perpetual
rest
and
happinesse
,
and
their
works
follow
them
.
It
is
a
greater
happinesse
to
die
in
the
Lord
than
to
die
for
the
Lord
.
If
a
man
die
for
the
Lord
,
and
be
not
in
the
Lord
,
he
is
not
blessed
in
his
death
.
A
man
may
die
for
the
Lords
cause
,
and
not
for
the
Lords
sake
,
but
out
of
vain-glory
.
This
is
hinted
by
the
Apostle
,
Though
I
give
my
body
to
be
burned
,
and
have
not
charity
,
it
profiteth
me
nothing
.
If
I
do
it
not
out
of
love
to
God
,
but
out
of
love
to
my selfe
and
mine
own
praise
,
it
is
nothing
worth
.
But
he
that
dyeth
in
the
Lord
is
certainly
blessed
.
The
only
use
I
shall
make
of
this
,
is
to
beseech
the
New
Testament
Saints
to
follow
this
Old
Testament
copy
and
patterne
.
You
have
been
often
taught
how
to
live
well
,
give
me
leave
to
teach
you
this
day
how
to
dye
well
.
It
is
not
long
but
you
must
all
die
.
Let
it
be
your
care
,
that
when
you
come
to
die
,
you
may
die
in
the
faith
of
the
Lord
Jesus
.
There
is
a
double
faith
in
which
you
must
labour
to
die
;
In
fide
quae
creditur
&
quâ
creditur
.
1.
In
the
true
doctrine
of
faith
.
2.
In
the
saving
grace
of
faith
.
1.
In
the
true
doctrine
of
faith
.
For
there
are
damnable
doctrines
as
well
as
damnable
practices
.
There
are
doctrines
of
Devils
as
well
as
works
of
Devils
.
A
man
may
go
to
hell
for
heresie
as
well
as
●or
iniquity
.
The
Scripture
tells
us
of
some
opinions
which
subvert
the
soul
,
and
overthrow
the
faith
:
which
T●rtullian
calls
doctrines
devouring
a
mans
salvation
,
and
the
cankers
of
Christian
Religion
.
And
therefore
let
it
be
your
care
to
avoid
all
soul-subverting
doctrines
,
to
contend
earnestly
for
the
faith
once
delivered
to
the
Saints
,
and
to
hold
fast
the
ancient
Catholick
and
Apostolical
faith
.
Now
if
you
ask
me
in
what
Religion
I
would
have
you
to
die
;
I
shall
quickly
returne
an
answer
without
the
least
haesitation
.
In
the
true
Christian
Protestant
reformed
Religion
.
This
is
via
tuta
ad
vitam
aeternam
,
A
safe
way
unto
eternal
life
,
as
a
learned
Knight
hath
sufficiently
made
known
to
the
world
:
my
soul
for
yours
he
that
dies
in
this
Religion
,
wants
nothing
in
point
of
doctrine
necessary
to
salvation
.
For
it
is
built
wholly
&
only
upon
the
Scriptures
;
It
is
purely
Apostolical
,
and
teacheth
us
to
deny
ungodliness
and
all
worldly
lusts
,
and
to
live
godly
,
soberly
and
righteously
in
this
present
world
.
It
requires
us
to
beleeve
in
Christ
for
justification
,
and
to
manifest
the
truth
of
our
faith
by
our
holinesse
towards
God
,
and
our
righteousnesse
,
mercy
and
charity
towards
our
neighbour
.
And
when
we
have
done
all
to
account
our selves
but
unprofitable
servants
,
and
to
trust
only
to
the
merits
of
Christ
for
salvation
.
It
hath
been
sealed
by
the
blood
of
many
Martyrs
;
and
he
that
professeth
it
and
liveth
according
to
the
directions
of
it
,
may
die
with
a
tribunal-proofe
confidence
of
everlasting
salvation
.
Let
us
therefore
be
stedfast
and
unmoveable
in
this
faith
:
and
take
heed
of
the
Arrian
and
Socinian
heresies
which
unchristianize
a
man
,
and
of
all
doctrines
that
are
contrary
to
godliness
,
which
drown
the
soul
in
perdition
and
destruction
.
Let
us
abhorre
the
heresie
,
Idolatry
and
tyranny
of
the
Romish
Synagogue
,
alwaies
remembring
that
sad
text
,
If
any
man
worship
the
beast
and
his
image
,
and
receive
his
mark
in
his
forehead
,
or
in
his
hand
,
the
same
shall
drink
of
the
wine
of
the
wrath
of
God
,
which
is
poured
out
witbout
mixture
,
into
the
cup
of
his
indignation
,
and
he
shall
be
tormented
with
●●re
and
brimstone
in
the
presence
of
the
holy
Angels
,
and
in
the
presence
of
the
Lamb
.
Let
us
be
sure
,
that
when
we
come
to
die
,
we
may
be
able
to
say
with
the
Apostle
Paul
,
I
have
fought
a
good
fight
,
I
have
finished
my
course
,
I
have
kept
the
faith
.
Though
I
have
lost
my
liberty
,
wealth
,
and
honours
,
yet
I
have
kept
the
faith
;
And
with
that
Reverend
Bishop
,
I
can
deny
my selfe
,
my
estate
,
my
reputation
,
but
I
cannot
deny
my
faith
.
2.
In
the
saving
grace
of
faith
.
He
that
dieth
with
faith
in
Christ
,
shall
certainly
go
to
live
in
heaven
with
Christ
.
He
that
dieth
embracing
Christ
,
shall
go
from
Christ
,
to
Christ
;
from
Christ
by
grace
,
to
Christ
in
glory
.
But
then
you
must
be
sure
that
this
faith
be
a
true
justifying-faith
.
A
heart-purifying
,
sanctifying
,
and
world-overcoming
faith
.
A
painted
faith
will
never
bring
you
to
a
real
heaven
.
A
dead
faith
will
never
please
a
living
God
.
Faith
without
works
will
send
a
man
merrily
to
hell
instead
of
lifting
him
up
to
heaven
.
It
is
faith
unfaigned
,
the
faith
of
Gods
elect
,
the
faith
which
worketh
by
lov●
,
which
will
make
the
houre
of
death
desireable
and
comfortable
.
And
let
me
adde
That
you
must
not
only
labour
to
die
with
a
true
faith
,
but
with
a
full
assurance
of
faith
;
not
only
to
die
bel●eving
,
but
fully
assured
that
your
faith
is
of
a
right
stamp
.
This
is
a
heaven
upon
earth
.
This
will
put
you
into
heaven
before
you
come
to
heaven
.
This
will
cause
you
to
die
rejoycingly
and
triumphantly
,
as
Stephen
did
,
when
he
saw
the
heavens
opened
,
and
Christ
standing
at
the
right
hand
of
God
ready
to
receive
him
;
And
as
old
Simeon
did
with
Christ
in
your
spiritual
armes
,
and
singing
a
Nunc
dimittis
,
Now
Lord
let
thy
servant
depart
in
peace
,
for
mine
eyes
have
seen
thy
salvation
.
This
then
is
thy
great
work
O
Christian
,
industriously
to
endeavour
,
that
when
thou
comest
to
die
thou
mayest
die
in
the
true
doctrine
,
and
true
grace
of
faith
,
and
in
the
full
assurance
of
faith
,
that
so
thou
mayst
have
an
abundant
entrance
into
the
everlasting
Kingdome
of
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
.
But
what
must
I
do
that
I
may
be
able
to
make
this
gallant
and
noble
end
?
He
that
would
die
in
the
faith
,
must
first
live
in
the
faith
.
For
if
you
observe
it
,
it
is
not
said
in
the
text
,
that
all
without
limitation
died
in
faith
.
But
all
these
:
that
is
,
all
those
who
lived
in
the
faith
,
died
in
the
same
faith
in
which
they
lived
:
These
blessed
Patriarks
had
not
their
faith
to
get
when
they
came
to
die
,
but
they
had
got
it
in
health
.
They
lived
a
holy
life
,
and
died
a
happy
death
.
Life
and
death
for
the
most
part
are
like
the
voyce
and
the
echo
,
the
body
and
the
shadow
.
Such
as
the
voyce
is
,
such
is
the
echo
.
Such
as
the
body
is
,
such
is
the
shadow
.
Qualis
vita
,
finis
ita
.
If
we
would
die
happily
,
we
must
live
holily
.
If
we
would
die
gloriously
,
we
must
live
graciously
.
If
we
would
go
to
Christ
when
we
die
,
we
must
get
into
Christ
while
we
live
.
If
we
would
die
with
assurance
,
we
must
while
we
live
labour
to
get
assurance
▪
Woe
be
to
those
who
have
their
faith
to
get
when
they
are
dying
,
that
begin
to
amend
their
lives
when
they
are
putting
an
end
to
them
.
Woe
be
to
those
who
begin
to
serve
God
when
they
can
do
him
no
service
.
That
begin
to
live
when
they
are
ceasing
to
live
.
And
sad
is
the
condition
of
those
,
who
have
their
evidences
and
comforts
to
seek
when
they
are
going
out
of
the
world
.
And
yet
I
will
not
absolutely
deny
(
as
some
rashly
do
)
but
that
it
is
possible
for
a
man
to
live
a
thiefe
and
die
a
Saint
,
to
live
wickedly
and
to
repent
at
death
.
We
have
one
,
and
but
one
example
of
this
.
But
this
is
not
Gods
ordinary
way
;
and
if
I
had
ten
thousand
souls
,
I
would
not
adventure
one
of
them
upon
a
death-bed
repentance
.
We
must
not
think
to
dance
with
the
Devil
all
day
,
and
to
sup
with
Christ
at
night
.
To
live
all
our
life-time
in
Dalilah's
lap
,
and
to
go
to
Abrahams
bosome
when
we
die
.
The
ordinary
way
to
die
well
,
is
to
live
well
.
In
a
word
,
If
you
would
die
as
Abraham
did
,
you
must
live
as
he
did
:
you
must
imitate
Abrahams
faith
,
obedience
,
and
heavenly-mindednesse
.
If
you
would
die
as
Jacob
did
,
you
must
wrastle
with
God
in
prayer
as
he
did
.
If
you
would
partake
of
their
happinesse
when
you
die
,
you
must
be
followers
of
their
holinesse
while
you
live
.
This
is
the
fifth
inference
.
Doctrine
6.
That
it
is
an
unvaluable
blessing
when
husband
and
wife
,
Father
and
child
,
and
childs
child
live
and
die
in
the
true
faith
.
These
all
died
in
faith
.
Not
only
some
of
them
,
but
all
.
Abraham
the
husband
,
and
Sarah
his
wife
.
Abraham
the
Father
,
and
Isaac
his
Son
,
and
Jacob
his
Grand-child
.
All
these
died
in
the
faith
.
Behold
a
true
noble
blood
,
a
holy
kindred
,
a
blessed
generation
.
Worthy
is
Abraham
of
all
honour
who
was
the
roote
of
such
a
noble
and
blessed
brood
.
And
worthy
are
Isaac
and
Jacob
of
so
good
a
Father
,
who
stained
not
their
blood
by
forsaking
their
faith
,
but
held
it
as
they
received
it
,
and
lived
and
died
in
the
true
faith
handed
to
them
by
their
Father
.
Behold
here
you
that
are
great
in
place
and
birth
;
behold
,
I
say
,
wherein
true
Nobility
and
Gentry
doth
consist
;
and
what
is
the
fountaine
of
all
true
honour
.
It
is
to
live
and
die
in
the
true
faith
.
In
this
faith
Abraham
died
:
and
Isaac
his
son
and
heire
did
not
only
inherit
his
fathers
estate
,
but
his
fathers
Religion
also
.
And
Jacob
the
Grand-child
follows
both
his
father
and
grand-father
,
and
dieth
in
the
same
faith
with
them
.
Behold
here
Jacob
a
true
Gentleman
in
blood
.
His
holinesse
and
Religion
is
in
the
third
descent
.
Let
great
men
learn
to
adorne
their
Gentility
and
Nobility
with
these
ensignes
of
true
honour
.
It
is
a
rare
blessing
when
there
is
a
succession
of
godlinesse
in
a
family
;
when
godlinesse
is
entailed
upon
children
,
and
childrens
children
.
When
a
man
can
say
to
God
as
Moses
:
O
God
thou
art
my
God
,
and
my
Fathers
God
,
and
my
Grand-Fathers
God
.
There
are
many
families
in
which
there
is
a
succession
of
drunkards
,
swearers
,
and
adulterers
,
&c.
in
which
sin
and
iniquity
is
entailed
,
of
whom
it
may
be
said
,
my
father
was
an
adulterer
,
a
drunkard
,
a
scoffer
at
Religion
,
so
was
my
grand-father
and
so
am
I
.
This
is
a
sad
pedegree
.
O
labour
for
a
holy
succession
.
Let
Parents
write
a
faire
copy
to
their
children
,
let
them
live
and
dye
in
the
true
faith
,
and
let
children
learne
to
follow
such
a
copy
.
Let
husbands
be
patternes
and
examples
of
godlinesse
to
their
wives
;
and
let
wives
follow
their
good
examples
.
Let
wives
imitate
Sarah
,
Parents
Abraham
,
and
children
Isaac
and
Jacob
.
Let
us
and
ours
so
live
,
that
when
we
come
to
die
,
it
may
be
said
of
us
,
not
that
we
died
in
our
sins
,
but
as
it
is
in
the
text
that
we
died
in
the
faith
.
These
all
died
in
faith
.
I
have
done
with
the
text
.
But
there
is
another
text
of
which
I
must
of
necessity
speak
something
.
And
that
is
concerning
the
sad
occasion
of
our
meeting
here
this
day
.
Give
me
leave
to
speak
to
you
in
the
language
of
David
concerning
Abner
:
Know
you
not
that
there
is
a
Prince
,
a
great
man
fallen
this
day
in
Israel
?
and
in
the
language
of
the
children
of
Seth
concerning
Abraham
,
A
Lord
and
a
mighty
Prince
is
this
day
to
be
buried
:
One
who
had
so
much
worth
and
excellency
in
him
,
that
whosoever
will
undertake
to
speak
of
him
needs
not
feare
(
as
Nazianzen
saith
of
his
sister
Gorgonia
)
least
he
should
spea●
too
much
,
but
rather
least
he
should
speak
too
little
,
and
by
coming
so
farre
beneath
his
due
deserts
,
should
dispraise
him
,
even
whil'st
he
is
praising
of
him
.
For
without
all
controversie
he
was
a
person
who
had
not
only
noble
and
honourable
titles
,
but
was
truly
noble
and
honourable
.
It
is
an
observable
speech
of
Gregory
the
great
,
A
King
may
cause
a
man
to
be
called
a
Nobleman
,
but
he
cannot
make
a
man
truly
noble
.
He
may
command
such
a
man
to
be
called
an
Earle
,
or
a
Lord
;
But
it
is
the
noble
minde
which
makes
the
man
truly
noble
.
Such
a
Noble-man
was
the
Earle
of
Warwick
.
He
was
not
only
a
Noble-man
by
Parchment
,
but
he
had
a
noble
mind
,
a
large
heart
,
an
intrinsecal
worth
and
excellency
in
him
.
His
Nobility
was
inameled
with
humility
.
He
was
great
in
place
,
but
humble
in
carriage
,
as
all
who
knew
him
will
testifie
.
There
was
in
him
a
blessed
constellation
,
and
consociation
of
Nobility
,
humilitie
,
pietie
,
and
charitie
.
He
was
not
only
a
great
man
,
but
that
which
is
above
all
,
he
was
(
I
hope
)
a
godly
and
religious
man
.
I
should
be
loth
to
give
flattering
titles
to
any
man
whether
alive
or
dead
;
for
in
so
doing
my
Maker
would
soon
take
me
away
as
Job
saith
.
It
was
well
spoken
by
that
learned
Minister
who
preached
at
the
funeral
of
the
Earle
of
Essex
(
a
kinsman
of
this
Earles
)
That
funeral
encomiastickes
of
the
dead
do
often
prove
confections
of
poyson
to
the
living
;
for
many
whose
lives
speak
nothing
for
them
,
will
draw
the
example
into
consequence
,
and
be
thereby
led
into
hope
,
that
they
may
presse
a
hackny
Funeral
Sermon
to
carry
them
to
heaven
.
And
St.
Austin
if
I
be
not
much
mistaken
,
doth
somewhere
bitterly
enveigh
against
those
Ministers
who
were
overlavish
in
the
commendation
of
the
dead
,
telling
us
,
That
there
are
many
who
are
commended
where
they
are
not
,
and
in
the
mean
time
tormented
with
fire
unquenchable
where
they
are
.
Sure
I
am
that
a
learned
Bishop
doth
quote
a
sharpe
censure
(
though
in
another
case
)
of
a
Popish
Casuist
concerning
Noblemens
Chaplianes
,
saying
,
that
few
confessors
of
great
men
went
to
heaven
,
because
by
their
base
flattery
they
became
guilty
of
soul-murder
,
and
for
want
of
telling
them
of
their
faults
,
destroyed
both
their
own
,
and
their
Patrons
souls
.
And
therefore
God
forbid
that
I
should
say
any
thing
this
day
for
the
hurt
and
disadvantage
of
the
living
,
whil'st
I
am
speaking
in
the
praise
and
commendation
of
the
dead
.
And
yet
notwithstanding
all
this
I
should
be
loth
to
offend
in
the
contrary
extreme
.
For
I
am
not
so
strait-laced
or
superstitious
,
as
when
any
mans
life
hath
been
eminently
remarkable
and
exemplary
,
lest
I
should
be
guilty
of
Idolatry
in
adoring
him
,
to
commit
sacriledge
in
robbing
both
the
dead
of
his
just
praise
,
and
the
living
of
an
useful
patterne
for
their
imitation
.
And
besides
,
(
as
the
forementioned
author
saith
)
Though
common
graves
have
no
inscription
,
yet
Marble
Tombes
are
not
without
some
Epitaph
.
Heroical
examples
should
not
go
with
a
common
passe
,
but
with
a
Trumpet
.
And
therefore
I
doubt
not
,
but
I
may
safely
say
without
the
lest
suspicion
of
flattery
or
falshood
concerning
this
honourable
person
,
That
I
have
just
ground
in
charity
to
beleeve
,
that
this
Noble
Earle
was
not
only
under
the
awe
of
Religion
,
but
that
he
had
the
substance
,
and
power
of
it
in
his
heart
.
And
therefore
his
death
is
the
more
to
be
lamented
by
us
,
because
that
goodnesse
and
greatnesse
do
so
seldome
center
in
one
and
the
same
person
.
In
the
God
of
heaven
they
both
meet
.
He
is
optimus
,
maximus
;
infinite
in
goodness
,
as
well
as
in
greatnesse
.
But
in
the
Gods
upon
earth
they
rarely
meet
:
They
are
many
of
them
pessimi
maximi
,
greater
in
vices
than
in
riches
.
It
was
a
bold
speech
of
Buchanan
to
King
James
,
who
sent
a
messenger
to
him
when
he
was
dying
to
visite
him
,
and
to
know
how
he
did
;
Buchanan
desired
the
messenger
to
tell
the
King
,
That
he
was
going
to
a
place
where
few
Kings
come
.
Indeed
the
Scripture
saith
,
Not
many
wise
men
after
the
flesh
,
not
many
mighty
,
not
many
noble
are
called
.
But
yet
some
are
,
though
not
many
.
Such
a
one
was
Job
,
the
greatest
,
and
the
best
man
in
the
East
.
Such
were
Abraham
,
Isaac
and
Jacob
.
Such
was
Joseph
of
Arimathea
.
And
such
a
one
was
(
I
hope
)
Robert
Earle
of
Warwick
:
And
therefore
the
losse
of
him
is
the
greater
.
For
great
men
are
like
looking
glasses
according
to
which
all
the
country
dresse
themselves
,
and
if
they
be
good
they
do
a
world
of
good
.
When
Crispus
the
chiefe
Ruler
of
the
Synagogue
beleeved
,
many
of
the
Corinthians
hearing
of
it
beleeved
also
.
When
Schechem
and
Hamor
were
circumcised
they
quickly
perswaded
their
people
to
be
circumcised
.
Let
me
tell
you
,
That
we
have
lost
this
day
one
of
the
best
natur'd
Noble-men
in
England
,
&
one
who
had
not
only
a
good
nature
,
but
(
as
I
verily
beleeve
)
gracious
principles
,
and
religious
inclinations
,
and
dispositions
.
He
was
religious
,
1.
In
his
own
person
:
For
he
was
very
exact
in
closet
duties
.
I
have
been
often
with
him
at
private
prayer
in
his
closet
in
which
he
was
very
zealous
and
devout
.
And
he
hath
left
behinde
him
reall
manifestations
of
his
personal
piety
,
by
many
religious
collections
written
with
his
own
hand
for
the
good
of
his
soul
.
2.
In
reference
to
his
deare
and
neare
relations
,
both
by
giving
them
a
good
example
,
and
good
instructions
.
And
my
prayer
to
God
is
;
that
though
the
instructor
be
deceased
,
yet
the
instructions
may
live
,
and
never
die
.
3.
In
his
family-government
.
For
he
was
very
constant
in
his
morning
and
evening
publick
service
of
God
,
and
herein
a
rare
patterne
to
the
Gentry
of
the
Country
:
He
would
not
suffer
any
sports
or
pastimes
to
divert
him
from
his
dayly
publique
devotions
.
It
is
a
great
honour
to
God
,
and
credit
to
Religion
when
there
is
a
forme
and
outside
(
though
but
a
forme
and
outside
)
of
godliness
in
great
families
.
This
is
like
a
candle
set
upon
a
hill
to
illighten
all
inferlour
families
.
It
is
reported
of
Theodosius
the
Emperour
,
that
by
his
religious
carriage
in
his
family
,
he
made
all
his
Court
a
nursery
of
religion
.
And
it
is
said
of
the
house
of
George
Prince
of
Anhalt
,
that
for
the
good
orders
therein
observed
it
was
a
Church
,
an
Academy
,
and
a
Court
.
4.
In
his
conscientious
observation
of
the
Lords
day
,
and
in
causing
the
Sermons
preached
to
be
repeated
in
his
presence
to
the
whole
family
.
In
his
frequent
attendance
when
he
was
at
London
upon
weekly
Lectures
,
and
by
his
example
and
encouragement
,
drawing
many
persons
of
quality
to
our
congregations
.
And
(
which
is
very
remarkable
)
in
the
Moneth
in
which
he
died
,
he
went
constantly
to
the
Morning-exercise
at
St.
Martins
in
the
fields
,
thereby
(
as
by
a
secret
instinct
)
fitting
and
preparing
himselfe
for
his
death
,
which
hapned
towards
the
end
of
it
.
5.
In
his
extraordinary
care
and
diligence
in
preparing
himselfe
for
the
receiving
of
the
Sacrament
of
the
body
and
blood
of
Christ
.
Herein
he
was
very
exact
in
setting
apart
a
sufficient
space
of
time
for
selfe-examination
.
And
besides
this
,
give
me
leave
(
without
offence
)
to
relate
a
passage
which
in
my
opinion
conduceth
much
to
his
honour
,
and
may
through
Gods
blessing
become
an
example
to
his
relations
,
and
to
the
Noble-men
and
Gentlemen
of
the
Nation
.
When
he
first
came
to
the
Sacrament
at
Aldermanbury
,
he
freely
presented
himselfe
to
the
Minister
and
Elders
to
be
examined
:
and
although
he
gave
ample
satisfaction
,
yet
being
at
that
time
indisposed
in
body
by
reason
of
a
sudden
distemper
,
he
afterwards
wrote
me
a
letter
in
which
he
signified
,
that
if
we
were
not
satisfied
,
he
would
rather
come
againe
,
than
come
without
giving
full
satisfaction
;
here
was
humility
in
a
high
degree
;
here
is
a
patterne
to
be
admired
,
and
imitated
.
6.
In
his
faithfulness
to
the
trust
committed
to
him
as
in
other
things
,
so
more
especially
in
disposing
of
his
Church-livings
.
Herein
he
was
very
eminent
,
and
very
exemplary
,
being
alwayes
exactly
careful
to
preferre
able
,
godly
,
and
painful
Ministers
to
them
.
And
I
doubt
not
,
but
there
are
thousands
blessing
God
in
heaven
for
the
good
they
have
got
by
the
Ministers
put
in
by
this
Noble
Earle
.
The
truth
is
,
he
was
a
great
Patron
and
Mecaenas
to
the
pious
and
religious
Ministry
.
We
Ministers
may
say
of
him
as
they
did
of
the
Centurion
,
he
loved
our
Nation
;
we
have
great
cause
to
weep
over
his
herse
,
and
to
bemoane
his
death
:
For
we
have
this
day
lost
one
of
the
greatest
friends
that
the
godly
and
painful
Ministers
had
in
England
.
7.
I
might
adde
(
if
need
were
)
as
a
further
,
and
a
most
signal
testimony
of
his
godlinesse
,
his
singular
care
,
that
not
only
while
he
was
living
,
but
that
after
his
death
also
his
Church-livings
might
be
rightly
disposed
,
but
I
forbeare
.
8.
There
are
three
things
yet
behind
which
I
must
not
omit
.
1.
He
was
bountiful
and
Prince-like
in
his
hospitality
and
house-keeping
.
2.
He
was
very
merciful
and
charitable
to
the
poor
members
of
Jesus
Christ
.
I
have
often
and
often
been
his
Almoner
to
distribute
considerable
summes
of
money
to
necessitous
and
pious
Christians
.
3.
He
was
a
liberal
and
most
loving
Master
to
his
houshold-servants
,
and
hath
given
competent
pensions
to
all
his
old
servants
during
life
.
9.
In
a
word
:
He
was
one
who
did
not
make
use
of
religion
for
his
own
private
gaine
and
interest
;
he
had
no
politick
designe
in
professing
godlinesse
:
his
whole
aime
both
by
sea
and
land
,
both
in
Parliament
and
in
private
was
,
to
be
serviceable
to
Church
and
State
,
and
in
this
particular
he
was
a
true
Nathaneel
in
whom
there
was
no
guile
:
he
was
a
countenancer
of
religion
in
the
worst
times
,
:
he
appeared
for
God
and
for
his
cause
and
servants
,
when
it
was
both
dangerous
and
disgraceful
in
the
eyes
of
the
leading
men
of
the
Nation
;
he
received
Mr.
Burroughs
(
that
eminent
Minister
of
Christ
)
into
his
family
,
and
protected
him
for
a
long
while
,
till
at
last
he
was
forced
to
fly
out
of
the
land
.
He
was
a
very
special
friend
unto
that
man
of
God
of
famous
memory
Dr.
Sibbs
.
To
summe
up
all
in
a
few
lines
,
As
it
is
said
of
Socrates
(
as
I
remember
)
that
he
was
so
good
a
man
that
all
that
knew
him
loved
him
;
and
if
any
man
did
not
love
him
,
it
was
because
they
did
not
know
him
.
So
it
may
be
said
of
the
Earle
of
Warwick
:
All
who
knew
him
loved
him
,
and
if
any
man
did
not
love
him
,
it
was
because
he
did
not
know
him
.
As
for
the
manner
of
his
death
,
it
was
somewhat
sudden
:
but
you
must
know
,
that
a
child
of
God
never
dies
suddenly
,
though
he
die
never
so
suddenly
;
though
he
may
dye
suddenly
in
regard
of
time
,
yet
he
never
dyes
suddenly
in
regard
of
preparation
.
A
wicked
man
dies
suddenly
though
he
dyes
never
so
lingringly
,
because
he
dyes
unpreparedly
;
but
he
that
dyes
with
grace
in
his
heart
,
cannot
be
said
to
die
suddenly
though
he
die
never
so
suddenly
.
And
yet
this
sad
stroak
of
death
was
not
altogether
unexpected
.
For
when
the
funeral
of
his
Grand-child
was
delayed
longer
than
he
desired
or
expected
,
he
was
heard
to
say
,
That
if
they
tarried
a
little
longer
,
they
should
carry
him
down
also
to
he
buried
with
him
.
My
hope
is
,
That
he
dyed
as
these
Noble
Patriarkes
in
the
text
,
he
died
in
the
faith
in
which
he
lived
.
He
dyed
professing
the
true
doctrine
of
faith
,
and
(
I
hope
)
having
his
heart
adorned
with
the
grace
of
faith
.
And
let
me
assure
you
;
that
as
he
lived
much
desired
,
so
he
now
dyeth
much
lamented
,
especially
by
men
professing
godlinesse
.
I
have
heard
a
memorable
story
of
an
ancient
and
religious
Gentleman
Mr.
Knightly
of
Northamptonshire
(
well
known
to
some
here
)
who
coming
to
Leeze
,
and
beholding
the
brave
Parkes
,
and
goodly
gardens
,
and
other
such-like
accommodations
there
to
be
enjoyed
,
was
heard
to
say
to
this
our
Earle
,
My
Lord
,
you
had
need
be
very
good
,
it
is
ill
going
to
hell
from
such
a
Paradise
:
it
will
be
a
doleful
and
dismal
exchange
.
Or
as
others
relate
it
;
My
Lord
,
you
had
need
make
sure
of
heaven
,
or
else
when
you
dye
you
will
be
a
great
loser
.
A
rare
speech
worthy
to
be
laid
to
heart
by
all
Noble
persons
.
Now
I
verily
perswade
my selfe
,
that
this
our
dear
and
honourable
Christian
brother
is
no
loser
,
but
a
great
gainer
by
his
death
.
He
is
gone
(
I
hope
)
from
earth
to
heaven
,
from
an
earthly
Paradise
to
a
heavenly
Pallace
,
from
a
house
made
with
hands
to
a
house
made
without
hands
eternal
in
the
heavens
.
It
is
true
(
and
it
must
be
confessed
least
I
should
be
accounted
a
flatterer
)
he
had
his
failings
,
and
his
many
infirmities
;
which
I
trust
Jesus
Christ
hath
covered
with
the
roabe
of
his
righteousnesse
.
My
prayer
to
God
is
,
That
all
his
infirmities
may
be
buried
in
the
grave
of
oblivion
,
and
that
all
his
virtues
and
graces
may
supervive
,
and
live
in
his
son
and
heire
;
that
as
he
inherits
the
estate
,
so
he
may
also
inherit
the
vertues
of
his
Father
.
And
that
religion
,
piety
,
and
godlinesse
may
be
entailed
upon
the
Noble
family
of
the
Riches
,
from
one
generation
to
another
till
the
coming
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
unto
judgement
;
That
while
they
live
they
may
be
professors
of
the
true
faith
,
and
indued
with
the
heart-purifying
grace
of
faith
:
And
when
they
come
to
dye
,
they
may
make
that
gallant
,
noble
,
and
blessed
closure
and
conclusion
of
their
dayes
which
these
godly
Patriarkes
in
my
text
did
,
of
whom
it
is
said
,
These
all
dyed
in
faith
.

with
this
condition
that
he
should
one

upon

;
which
bred
a
strange
alteration
in
