TO
THE
Right
Honourable
ROBERT
Earle
of
VVarwick
,
Baron
of
Lees
,
one
of
his
Majesties
most
Honourable
Privie
Councell
.
My
very
honourable
Lord
,
THe
many
noble
favours
which
I
have
received
from
your
Lordship
chiefly
,
and
from
others
of
your
noble
Family
,
compell
mee
(
since
these
Sermons
will
needs
be
publike
,
beyond
my
intentions
)
to
adde
to
them
the
honour
of
your
Lordships
name
;
and
to
set
upon
them
this
Seal
of
Gratitude
,
from
a
heart
that
unfainedly
prayes
for
all
those
encreases
to
your
Lordship
and
yours
,
which
may
make
both
your
Lordship
and
them
truly
honourable
in
this
,
and
ever
happy
in
the
other
world
:
For
so
I
must
professe
to
all
the
world
,
your
Noblenesse
hath
abundantly
deserved
of
your
Lordships
most
humble
,
and
obliged
Servant
,
IOHN
GAUDEN
.
A
SERMON
preached
before
his
MAIESTIE
HEBR.
12.14
.
Follow
peace
with
all
men
,
and
holinesse
,
without
which
no
man
shall
see
the
Lord
.
THough
there
needs
a
large
Preface
and
Apology
for
the
Speaker
(
as
Elihu
used
to
Iob
and
his
friends
)
being
a
stranger
to
this
place
,
and
no
way
proportionable
to
so
great
and
sacred
a
presence
;
yet
I
am
sure
there
needs
no
Apology
for
the
Text
I
have
read
unto
you
.
The
weight
of
the
matter
being
of
greatest
and
highest
concernment
to
every
one
of
your
soules
may
,
by
the
favour
of
your
patience
,
piety
,
and
wisedome
,
much
supply
the
want
of
gravity
and
sufficiency
in
the
Speaker
.
The
subject
I
have
propounded
being
so
necessary
and
indispensible
,
that
without
it
none
that
heare
me
this
day
,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest
,
from
the
Cottage
to
the
Palace
,
from
the
Mill
to
the
Throne
,
neither
hearer
nor
speaker
,
shall
ever
be
happy
to
see
the
face
of
God
.
And
certainly
in
this
brokennesse
and
distraction
of
minds
and
times
,
every
one
almost
going
a
severall
way
,
full
of
fractions
and
divisions
,
crossing
and
thwarting
each
other
;
if
we
could
all
be
so
happy
as
to
learne
this
lesson
,
and
conspire
to
follow
these
two
,
Peace
and
Holinesse
,
no
doubt
it
would
much
abate
and
compose
our
distances
,
while
like
lines
we
all
tend
to
one
Centre
,
God
;
or
run
parallel
to
that
straight
rule
of
his
will
:
and
This
is
the
will
of
God
,
even
your
sanctification
.
I
should
be
too
happy
,
and
aboundantly
excusable
for
my
boldnesse
in
speaking
to
you
this
day
,
if
,
through
Gods
assistance
,
and
your
patience
,
I
might
be
able
so
to
represent
to
you
that
smooth
,
safe
,
and
beautifull
way
of
Peace
and
Holinesse
;
that
by
the
serious
and
consciencious
following
of
them
,
all
of
us
might
orderly
and
cheerfully
goe
together
,
the
Prince
with
the
People
;
and
the
People
with
the
Prince
;
the
hearts
of
each
drawing
neerer
to
other
,
and
all
to
God
;
to
the
sight
and
fruition
of
him
in
whose
presence
is
fulnesse
of
joy
,
and
life
for
evermore
.
The
Text
is
a
sacred
and
solemn
exhortation
,
by
which
the
Spirit
of
God
directs
all
men
the
next
and
onely
way
to
attaine
the
most
soveraign
good
,
and
desireable
end
,
the
happy
sight
of
God
.
In
it
we
have
,
1
The
precept
or
direction
,
Follow
peace
with
all
men
,
and
holinesse
.
2
The
motive
or
inducement
,
Without
which
no
man
shall
see
God
:
not
promissory
and
affirmative
,
for
in
so
doing
you
shall
see
God
;
but
menacing
and
negative
:
such
being
indeed
the
temper
of
mens
hearts
,
that
they
are
more
terrified
with
losse
,
than
won
and
invited
with
the
hopes
of
good
;
the
misery
of
suffering
prevailing
more
with
our
hardnesse
,
than
the
happinesse
of
enjoying
.
The
horror
of
being
ever
separated
from
the
sight
of
God
,
the
chiefest
good
of
the
soule
,
which
can
import
no
lesse
than
hell
and
extreme
misery
,
this
happily
may
scare
many
one
to
follow
Peace
and
Holinesse
,
whom
neither
the
pleasantnesse
of
the
way
,
nor
the
amplenesse
of
the
reward
,
would
induce
to
forsake
their
pleasing
,
but
yet
impure
and
dangerous
courses
.
In
the
Precept
we
have
1
the
Object
,
which
is
double
,
Peace
and
Holinesse
.
2
The
Act
,
or
Duty
,
but
one
,
and
serves
to
both
;
Follow
them
.
We
will
consider
the
objects
severally
in
their
natures
,
and
carry
along
the
Act
or
Duty
with
them
.
1
Of
Peace
:
Follow
peace
with
all
men
.
Now
although
the
beauty
,
sweetnesse
,
and
usefulnesse
of
this
subject
(
which
is
so
agreeable
to
my
mind
,
and
so
necessary
to
our
times
,
that
I
should
be
glad
to
meet
it
in
every
Sermon
I
make
or
heare
,
and
in
every
man
with
whom
I
deale
)
though
(
I
say
)
it
might
deserve
and
justifie
a
large
and
renewed
discourse
upon
it
;
yet
I
may
but
sparingly
now
speak
of
it
,
and
onely
sprinkle
you
with
a
few
drops
of
this
pure
and
chrystall
stream
,
which
makes
all
to
flow
with
milke
and
honey
wheresoever
it
runs
;
in
the
Conscience
,
in
the
Church
,
or
in
the
State
,
and
Civill
Societies
;
because
I
have
,
not
long
agoe
,
in
a
publick
,
though
farre
inferiour
,
Assembly
,
largely
discoursed
of
it
:
And
I
would
not
seem
to
doe
what
I
need
not
,
that
is
,
drive
two
Mills
with
one
streame
,
since
the
plenty
of
the
other
Branch
of
Holinesse
will
afford
matter
sufficient
,
and
worthy
your
attention
,
my
speech
,
and
all
our
practices
.
Onely
give
me
leave
to
point
out
briefly
to
you
these
three
things
:
1
What
this
Peace
is
.
2
How
and
by
whom
to
be
followed
.
3
Why.
1
For
this
generall
Peace
,
we
can
better
tell
what
it
is
by
the
fruition
,
than
any
description
of
it
.
What
health
is
to
the
body
,
and
calmnesse
to
the
Sea
,
and
serenity
to
the
day
,
such
is
peace
to
the
hearts
and
conversation
of
men
:
it
is
a
kind
of
sweet
,
divine
,
and
heavenly
concent
,
harmony
,
and
beauty
of
minds
and
manners
,
of
affections
and
actions
:
it
is
one
of
the
fairest
and
pleasantest
fruits
of
that
which
among
Christians
wee
call
charity
,
by
which
each
is
endeared
to
other
by
a
mutuall
love
,
and
study
of
one
anothers
good
,
welfare
,
and
happinesse
,
as
their
own
,
both
private
and
publick
,
temporall
and
eternall
.
This
must
be
followed
to
the
latitude
and
extension
of
the
subject
,
with
all
men
,
Rom.
12.18
.
As
much
as
in
you
lies
(
if
it
bee
possible
)
live
peaceably
with
all
men
.
As
farre
as
the
common
bounds
of
our
nature
extend
we
are
to
follow
peace
with
all
men
,
so
farre
as
men
;
Pax
cum
hominibus
,
bellum
cum
vitiis
.
The
more
thou
art
an
enemy
to
their
enemies
,
their
sins
and
vices
,
the
more
faithfull
friend
thou
art
to
them
.
Peccata
interficio
homines
amplector
is
the
Motto
not
onely
of
every
good
Magistrate
,
but
of
every
good
man
;
hate
and
slay
their
sinnes
,
but
love
and
save
their
soules
.
There
is
a
double
bond
for
it
,
1
Commune
vinculum
naturae
,
the
common
tie
of
our
nature
,
being
all
of
one
metall
,
binds
us
to
peace
,
by
making
us
sociable
;
God
having
sweetned
our
nature
beyond
the
savagenesse
and
fiercenesse
of
other
creatures
,
which
are
prone
and
armed
to
offend
:
God
hath
tempered
our
dust
,
and
softned
our
clay
with
a
spring
of
teares
,
a
fountain
of
pity
,
humanity
,
and
compassion
above
other
creatures
.
Principio
indulsit
communis
conditor
illis
Tantùm
animam
,
nobis
Animum
quoque
,
mutuus
ut
nos
Affectus
petere
auxilium
,
&
praestare
juberet
.
And
again
,
—
Mollissima
corda
Humano
generi
dare
se
natura
fatetur
,
Cum
lachrymas
dedit
.
2
There
is
Commune
vinculum
Indigentiae
:
we
are
weake
and
wanting
in
many
things
,
if
alone
and
at
distance
,
which
society
and
communion
strengthens
and
supplies
us
withall
.
So
that
nothing
more
agrees
to
the
nature
of
man
,
nothing
more
suits
to
his
necessities
,
than
to
follow
peace
together
,
both
publick
and
private
.
2
How
must
we
all
follow
Peace
?
As
of
pride
and
envie
comes
strife
and
contention
,
so
this
universall
peacefulnesse
proceeds
from
humility
,
self-denying
,
low
and
moderate
opinion
of
our selves
,
studying
our
own
nothingnesse
and
unworthinesse
,
in
honour
preferring
one
another
.
This
sweetens
,
plaines
and
polisheth
the
roughnesse
and
asperity
of
mens
minds
and
manners
,
and
fits
them
to
follow
peace
,
1
by
avoiding
to
give
offence
.
2
By
loathnesse
to
take
offence
.
3
By
a
forwardnesse
and
easinesse
to
be
reconciled
,
though
unjustly
offended
.
4
By
seeking
for
peace
,
and
a
faire
understanding
between
our selves
and
others
;
though
at
present
,
through
humane
infirmities
,
things
cannot
be
so
well
composed
.
Thus
all
must
follow
Peace
with
all
men
,
seriously
,
freely
,
cheerfully
,
heartily
,
constantly
,
not
to
be
damped
or
discouraged
;
we
must
prosequi
till
we
doe
assequi
,
follow
till
we
overtake
and
obtain
it
.
But
who
?
1
Princes
,
and
soveraigne
Magistrates
,
the
great
Arbitrators
of
warre
and
peace
,
they
must
follow
Peace
with
all
men
,
by
equall
and
impartiall
distributions
of
justice
and
righteousnesse
,
which
makes
Kingdomes
to
flourish
with
peace
.
He
that
will
be
Melchisalem
,
King
of
peace
,
must
be
Melchisedec
,
King
of
righteousnesse
,
as
Christ
was
both
.
Further
,
Peace
deserves
sometimes
to
be
fomented
by
favourable
moderation
and
indulgence
in
Princes
;
Clemency
being
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
(
as
Synesius
)
the
most
Regall
ornament
,
and
in
some
sort
a
debt
which
is
due
to
the
weaknesse
of
humane
nature
:
and
sometimes
the
malignity
of
times
,
minds
,
and
affaires
,
may
be
such
,
that
peace
is
to
be
preserved
rather
by
gracious
remissions
,
than
rigorous
,
though
iust
exactions
.
Wise
Princes
,
that
have
the
keyes
of
Ianus
his
Temple
,
will
not
easily
open
the
gate
to
warre
,
when
they
may
with
safety
and
honour
keep
it
shut
to
peace
.
2
As
Princes
,
so
the
People
and
Subjects
must
follow
Peace
with
all
men
,
but
especially
with
their
Prince
,
the
great
and
publick
Father
of
their
Peace
,
and
the
numerous
blessings
that
issue
from
it
;
who
ought
to
bee
in
their
esteeme
as
those
loyall
and
valiant
Hearts
said
of
David
,
worth
ten
thousand
of
us
.
They
must
follow
it
.
1
By
an
orderly
and
willing
obedience
and
submission
to
wholsome
lawes
,
which
are
but
the
interpreters
of
the
mind
of
a
just
Prince
.
2
By
faithfull
and
humble
Councels
of
Peace
.
3
By
free
,
liberall
,
and
seasonable
Aides
and
Subsidies
to
maintaine
Peace
.
4
Those
that
contribute
least
to
Peace
,
yet
may
follow
the
King
,
the
Church
,
the
Common-weale
,
and
all
men
,
with
their
daily
and
fervent
prayers
,
that
God
who
makes
men
to
be
of
one
mind
in
a
house
and
kingdome
,
would
give
to
all
the
blessing
of
Peace
.
3
Why
should
we
follow
Peace
with
all
men
?
1
God
hath
commanded
it
,
whose
commands
will
return
upon
accounts
,
and
he
will
exact
of
us
how
we
have
kept
them
:
Certainly
the
conscience
of
obeying
God
,
is
the
powerfullest
motive
,
and
the
noblest
reward
of
our
obedience
.
2
Christ
hath
deserved
this
of
us
,
our
great
and
ever-blessed
Peace-maker
,
who
followed
our
Peace
so
farre
,
that
he
seemed
to
have
lost
himselfe
,
and
to
have
been
forsaken
of
his
Father
.
He
followed
us
with
thoughts
,
and
offers
,
and
promises
of
Peace
,
when
we
were
at
greater
distance
and
defiance
,
than
can
be
between
us
and
any
man
never
so
much
our
enemy
.
He
made
his
own
soule
an
offering
for
Peace
,
rather
than
faile
to
procure
our
Peace
.
O
shew
wee
follow
Christ
by
following
of
Peace
.
3
Follow
it
for
thy
brothers
sake
;
1
as
a
man
,
that
name
bespeakes
thee
much
.
2
as
a
Christian
,
more
.
3
Thy
Countrey-man
,
and
thy
Neighbour
too
.
When
all
these
ties
of
nature
,
countrey
,
and
vicinity
;
of
Religion
,
of
the
same
God
and
Saviour
,
of
the
same
hopes
,
faith
,
and
heaven
;
when
(
I
say
)
all
these
do
bind
thy
heart
and
hands
from
breaking
the
Peace
,
should
they
not
prevaile
more
with
thee
to
follow
it
,
than
any
poore
mistakes
and
injuries
should
doe
to
violate
or
fly
from
it
?
3
Consider
thy
brothers
good
in
it
.
Every
man
should
study
to
be
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
as
publick
,
diffusive
,
and
preventive
in
his
goodnesse
as
may
be
.
Now
distance
,
defiance
,
and
dis-affections
with
men
,
doe
extremely
harden
and
shut
up
their
hearts
,
that
thou
hast
not
those
opportunities
and
advantages
to
doe
them
that
good
,
which
love
,
and
sweetnesse
,
and
peacefulnesse
,
doe
put
into
thy
hands
by
softning
and
melting
them
.
4
For
thy
owne
sake
follow
peace
with
all
men
,
1
For
thy
owne
safety
,
and
sweetnesse
of
living
:
who
but
turbulent
and
inhumane
dispositions
,
like
Salamanders
,
would
willingly
live
in
the
fire
of
strife
and
dissention
?
which
as
it
cannot
but
be
unpleasing
,
so
it
may
be
dangerous
and
unsafe
:
For
no
mans
anger
is
to
bee
despised
,
much
lesse
the
displeasure
of
many
men
,
which
may
embroile
the
publick
,
and
in
that
,
thy
private
happinesse
.
Even
the
tallest
Cedars
,
and
mighty
Oakes
,
which
are
as
the
Princes
of
the
Forrest
,
have
their
share
of
safety
and
flourishing
in
Peace
,
as
well
as
the
lower
shrubs
and
bushes
:
nay
,
the
violent
blasts
of
warre
,
like
vehement
winds
,
threaten
them
more
,
and
make
greater
impressions
on
their
heigth
,
than
on
inferiours
,
whose
inferiority
is
a
great
point
of
their
safety
.
Divide
,
&
regnare
desine
.
Peace
and
union
are
the
mutuall
preservation
as
well
of
head
as
members
.
2
For
thy
own
honour
follow
Peace
,
though
it
be
through
the
bushes
and
asperities
of
some
injuries
and
offences
.
It
is
the
glory
of
a
man
to
passe
by
offences
(
saith
the
wisest
of
Kings
)
especially
in
the
pursuit
of
Peace
.
The
greater
indeed
the
Person
is
,
the
greater
the
offence
;
but
the
greater
the
offence
,
the
greater
glory
in
passing
by
it
,
because
it
brings
us
nearest
to
the
imitation
of
Gods
infinite
mercy
,
patience
,
and
forgivenesse
.
One
victory
over
a
mans
selfe
is
more
glorious
,
than
many
over
an
enemy
.
The
triumphs
of
reason
,
vertue
,
morality
and
grace
,
over
our
passions
,
are
farre
more
honourable
than
those
of
the
sword
,
and
power
of
arms
in
the
field
,
which
are
stained
and
deformed
with
the
bloud
of
men
.
Pax
una
triumphis
innumeris
potior
:
One
faire
and
spotlesse
Lilly
of
preserved
Peace
is
a
greater
ornament
to
a
Princes
Diadem
,
than
to
have
it
beset
round
with
many
Red
Roses
of
bloudy
triumphs
.
May
his
memory
be
ever
blest
,
and
his
pretious
name
had
in
honour
,
who
first
of
Princes
,
next
after
Christ
,
gave
that
for
his
word
,
Beati
Pacifici
.
And
may
they
be
blessed
,
who
being
heires
to
his
Crowne
,
are
also
heires
to
his
Princely
vertues
,
and
peacefull
disposition
.
And
have
we
not
all
causes
to
blesse
God
,
who
hath
inclined
their
hearts
;
and
to
blesse
them
who
have
followed
those
inclinations
,
to
re-establish
our
late
dubious
and
endangered
peace
,
and
lengthen
out
our
tranquility
?
May
the
great
God
of
peace
crowne
their
Persons
,
Posterity
,
and
Kingdomes
,
with
aboundance
of
mercy
and
peace
,
so
long
as
the
Sun
and
Moone
endure
.
3
Follow
peace
with
all
men
,
for
thy
own
internall
and
eternall
peace
with
God
.
God
is
surely
an
enemy
to
those
that
are
enemies
to
peace
;
since
they
are
contrary
,
1
To
his
nature
,
which
is
happy
in
an
unmoved
and
eternall
tranquility
.
2
To
his
word
,
which
seeks
,
by
the
message
of
peace
,
to
bring
us
neerer
,
and
make
us
liker
to
himselfe
.
3
A
peacelesse
and
unquiet
disposition
,
like
troubled
waters
,
is
lesse
apt
for
the
sweet
and
cleere
reflections
of
Gods
love
to
it
,
or
the
operations
of
his
Spirit
in
it
;
which
creates
that
internall
and
unexpressible
peace
,
which
no
man
knowes
the
price
of
,
but
he
that
hath
it
.
4
Lastly
,
they
only
shall
rest
with
God
in
Peace
,
who
have
followed
after
Peace
,
and
in
so
doing
,
after
God
.
They
shall
dye
in
Peace
,
and
lye
in
Peace
,
and
rise
in
Peace
,
and
reigne
in
Peace
with
God
for
ever
.
The
fruit
of
righteousnesse
is
sown
in
Peace
of
them
that
make
Peace
.
But
I
have
done
with
the
first
Object
,
and
the
Duty
,
Follow
Peace
with
all
men
:
we
come
now
to
the
second
.
2.
And
Holinesse
.
Peaceablenesse
and
Holinesse
must
goe
together
,
and
indeed
it
is
pity
they
should
bee
separated
;
yet
they
are
oftentimes
:
for
many
are
of
sweet
,
soft
,
and
calm
natures
,
not
farre
from
the
kingdome
of
heaven
;
yet
they
rise
not
to
the
heigth
of
holinesse
,
which
must
exceed
and
amend
the
best
of
natures
.
Vae
optimae
naturae
,
nisi
superveniat
gratia
.
Good
natures
,
like
small
and
shallow
brooks
,
may
empty
themselves
,
and
carry
us
to
that
narrow
lake
of
humane
love
,
honour
,
and
approbation
;
but
holinesse
only
is
that
great
and
noble
streame
which
conveyes
the
soule
to
heaven
,
and
looseth
it
in
the
Ocean
of
Gods
infinite
happinesse
.
O
let
us
not
content
our selves
with
the
study
of
Peace
,
and
neglect
Holinesse
.
Peace
will
soon
corrupt
and
sowre
,
to
troubles
inward
and
outward
,
which
is
not
preserved
and
eterniz'd
with
Holinesse
.
There
is
no
Peace
to
the
wicked
,
saith
God
;
no
true
,
inward
,
and
durable
Peace
:
we
must
follow
Peace
as
men
,
and
Holinesse
as
Christians
.
What
is
it
to
have
Peace
with
men
,
and
warre
with
God
?
Let
us
therefore
see
,
1
What
Holinesse
is
.
2
Who
must
follow
it
.
3
How
we
must
follow
it
.
4
Wherefore
.
1
What
Holinesse
is
.
Holinesse
is
a
word
of
various
acceptation
.
1
There
is
a
Holinesse
transcendent
,
essentiall
,
and
absolute
,
which
is
in
God
,
or
rather
which
is
God
himselfe
;
who
is
the
eternall
,
first
,
and
onely
rule
to
himselfe
;
by
his
immutable
goodnesse
,
unerring
wisedome
,
and
irresistable
power
;
who
is
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
thrice
holy
,
as
the
Seraphins
cry
,
Holy
,
holy
,
holy
Lord
God
of
Hoasts
,
&c.
Holy
in
his
will
,
in
his
word
,
and
in
his
works
;
in
his
justice
,
mercy
,
and
power
:
and
therefore
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
infinitely
great
and
powerfull
,
because
infinitely
good
and
holy
.
The
Father
is
holy
,
and
the
Son
holy
,
and
the
Spirit
holy
;
in
their
essence
,
in
their
relations
,
and
in
their
operations
.
This
Holinesse
wee
must
follow
.
Mat.
5.48
.
Be
ye
perfect
,
as
your
heavenly
Father
is
perfect
.
1
Pet.
1.15
.
Be
ye
holy
,
as
he
that
hath
called
you
is
holy
.
Here
is
the
rule
,
patterne
,
Idea
,
and
Prototype
of
Holinesse
;
the
fountain
,
Sun
,
and
Sea
of
Holinesse
,
from
whence
it
derives
it selfe
in
the
second
place
to
reasonable
creatures
,
Angels
and
men
,
who
onely
are
capable
of
Holinesse
in
a
strict
and
proper
sense
.
2
All
creatures
have
a
goodnesse
of
nature
and
being
by
creation
,
onely
the
reasonable
are
vessels
of
Holinesse
;
which
properly
is
,
or
at
least
ought
to
be
in
us
,
A
full
and
exact
conformity
of
the
Soul
in
all
its
motions
and
operations
to
the
will
and
mind
of
God
.
In
the
blessed
Angels
it
is
,
and
was
in
man
at
first
a
gift
of
creation
,
whereby
they
and
wee
were
made
in
the
Image
of
God
,
in
righteousnesse
and
true
Holinesse
.
Since
our
fall
Holinesse
is
a
gift
of
free
grace
,
a
supernaturall
quality
or
habit
infused
into
the
Soule
by
the
Holy
Spirit
,
which
by
degrees
reneweth
us
to
a
conformity
(
or
an
unfained
study
at
least
of
conformity
)
to
the
will
of
God
;
doing
all
out
of
conscience
to
his
command
,
regulating
all
by
to
his
word
,
and
directing
all
to
his
glory
.
This
Holinesse
we
must
also
follow
,
as
the
true
and
onely
beauty
,
honour
,
riches
,
pleasure
,
and
perfection
of
the
soule
.
For
,
as
much
as
men
by
reason
exceed
beasts
,
so
much
doe
Christians
by
Holinesse
exceed
meere
men
,
in
their
unholy
and
unregenerate
state
.
By
Holinesse
wee
recover
our
station
and
neerenesse
to
Angels
,
our
claime
to
heaven
,
our
kindred
and
relation
to
God
,
not
only
as
his
creatures
,
but
as
his
Sons
,
regenerate
by
his
holy
Spirit
.
3
There
is
yet
a
Holinesse
in
a
low
and
inferiour
sense
,
not
of
vertue
or
grace
,
but
of
use
and
relation
;
which
is
in
Scripture
and
common
speech
applied
to
things
unreasonable
and
inanimate
too
.
This
is
a
Holinesse
of
dedication
,
when
things
are
devote
and
consecrated
to
the
worship
and
service
of
the
most
holy
God
,
set
apart
from
common
and
civill
uses
to
sacred
.
This
likewise
we
must
follow
,
not
as
conceiving
any
inherent
quality
of
Holinesse
to
be
in
those
things
,
whereby
they
are
able
to
work
on
thy
Spirit
,
or
recommend
thee
and
thy
service
to
a
greater
degree
of
acceptation
,
by
conferring
a
greater
degree
of
Holinesse
(
except
in
respect
to
Gods
speciall
appointment
and
promise
,
as
of
old
)
but
only
so
farre
we
must
follow
this
relative
Holinesse
,
as
to
a
decent
use
and
reverentiall
comportment
;
such
as
becomes
the
gravity
,
majesty
,
and
solemnity
of
Christian
Religion
;
and
those
outward
services
God
requireth
of
us
:
Sancta
sanctè
,
Holinesse
becomes
the
house
and
worship
of
God
for
ever
.
But
take
heed
that
thy
superstitious
mind
doe
not
impute
to
,
nor
expect
to
find
any
active
or
virtuall
Holinesse
,
in
or
from
times
,
places
,
pictures
,
reliques
,
garments
,
or
postures
;
when
that
must
be
,
as
it
onely
can
be
,
in
thy
heart
:
There
is
that
Sanctum
Sanctorum
,
the
immediate
residence
and
operation
of
Gods
holy
Spirit
.
It
is
preposterous
and
vaine
to
imagine
or
seek
it
in
other
things
:
if
thou
hast
it
not
there
,
thou
maist
profane
them
;
they
cannot
sanctifie
thee
,
nor
thy
services
.
Yet
here
it
is
that
superstition
is
prone
to
dote
and
flatter
it selfe
in
its
outward
formalities
of
Holinesse
(
as
Lewis
the
eleventh
did
in
his
leaden
gods
pardon
,
and
the
protection
of
an
Hermite
and
his
Reliques
,
with
which
he
had
fortified
and
barricadoed
himselfe
against
the
invasions
of
death
,
but
all
in
vaine
.
)
Superstition
,
I
say
,
which
is
the
Ape
and
Mimick
of
Religion
,
having
a
Dream
and
fancy
of
external
Holinesse
,
when
indeed
it
is
the
moth
and
rust
both
of
true
Religion
,
and
proper
Holinesse
;
the
paint
and
meretricious
beauty
of
a
Church
or
Person
;
the
Ivy
which
by
secret
and
unsensible
steps
creeps
upon
and
overspreads
its
supporter
,
Religion
;
stealing
away
the
sap
of
piety
,
which
should
be
in
the
heart
and
inward
man
(
in
spirit
and
truth
)
to
the
pleasing
of
the
senses
and
fancy
onely
,
by
nourishing
them
with
externall
and
pompous
formalities
.
It
is
indeed
a
heavie
Incubus
,
when
once
it
hath
seised
upon
a
Church
or
conscience
,
oppressing
it
with
needlesse
scruples
,
and
ceremonious
burthens
,
which
extremely
abate
,
if
not
quite
take
away
that
beauty
,
vigour
,
and
majesty
of
true
Religion
and
Holinesse
,
which
keeps
the
medium
between
superstition
and
profanenesse
.
Yet
must
Holinesse
have
an
universall
influence
upon
the
whole
man
,
all
faculties
,
motions
,
and
actions
,
inward
and
outward
;
on
the
soule
and
body
.
In
the
Soule
there
must
be
a
Holinesse
of
mind
or
understanding
,
by
seeing
and
beleeving
the
saving
truth
of
God
;
of
the
will
,
by
applying
,
embracing
,
and
subjecting
to
it
;
of
the
affections
(
feare
,
love
,
joy
,
anger
,
hope
,
sorrow
,
zeale
,
&c.
)
when
they
are
by
Gods
Spirit
carried
to
their
right
objects
,
and
moderated
in
their
measure
to
them
;
thus
is
truth
,
rectitude
,
and
order
,
the
Holinesse
of
the
mind
,
will
,
and
affections
.
Further
,
Holinesse
must
have
an
influence
on
the
externall
expressions
.
Truth
and
purity
are
the
Holinesse
of
speech
;
so
chastity
,
temperance
,
meeknesse
,
humility
,
modesty
,
&c.
are
the
Holinesse
of
our
outward
manners
and
comportments
.
As
Morality
improves
the
affections
,
and
regulates
the
motions
of
the
will
to
vertues
,
so
Holinesse
beautifies
and
raiseth
those
vertues
to
graces
;
and
of
the
Philosophers
Alchimy
produceth
the
Christians
pure
gold
:
while
it
keeps
all
our
actions
,
desires
,
and
affections
,
within
those
bounds
of
honour
and
moderation
,
which
Reason
and
Religion
doe
require
.
Holinesse
is
the
Soules
fitting
for
God
,
its
union
and
tie
to
God
,
its
communion
with
him
;
in
some
sort
deifying
us
,
and
making
us
partakers
of
the
divine
nature
.
What
light
is
to
the
Sunne
and
day
,
what
clearnesse
to
the
fountain
,
what
fruitfulnesse
to
the
earth
,
what
beauty
and
health
are
to
the
body
;
that
indeed
is
Holinesse
to
the
soule
,
to
the
whole
man
,
and
all
our
actions
.
Holinesse
is
the
supernaturall
and
universall
beauty
of
the
reasonable
creature
.
We
are
corruption
,
till
Holinesse
make
us
sound
;
ruined
,
till
Holinesse
repaire
us
;
we
are
barrennesse
,
till
that
make
us
fruitfull
;
we
are
deformity
,
till
that
make
us
beautifull
;
we
are
darknesse
,
till
Holinesse
enlighten
us
;
dead
,
till
that
enliven
us
;
depraved
,
till
that
rectifie
us
;
we
are
sin
,
till
Holinesse
make
us
gracious
;
wee
are
hell
,
till
Holinesse
make
us
heavenly
;
we
are
Devils
,
till
Holinesse
make
us
Saints
;
wee
are
damned
wretches
,
till
Holinesse
sets
us
in
a
capacity
of
salvation
,
and
seeing
of
God
:
whose
enimies
we
are
,
till
Holinesse
have
endeared
us
;
from
whom
sin
would
seperate
us
forever
,
being
filthy
and
abominable
in
his
sight
,
till
holinesse
wash
and
clense
us
through
faith
in
the
blood
of
Christ
.
In
the
sight
of
the
most
holy
God
,
all
beauty
is
deformity
,
all
wisedom
folly
,
all
honour
basenesse
,
all
plenty
poverty
,
all
liberty
bondage
,
all
happinesse
misery
,
all
life
but
a
death
,
all
our
splendid
works
but
dead
and
damnable
,
without
holinesse
.
All
words
and
humane
notions
are
too
grosse
to
set
forth
to
you
this
spirituall
beauty
of
holinesse
,
like
dead
colours
to
paint
the
light
and
heat
of
the
Sun
:
one
beame
discovers
it
better
than
all
the
shadowes
of
words
or
Pencils
could
doe
;
so
the
best
knowledge
of
holinesse
is
experimentall
in
the
soule
and
conscience
.
For
it
is
not
only
in
words
,
in
notion
,
fancy
,
or
speculation
,
or
outward
shewes
,
but
in
reality
of
effects
;
serious
and
solid
without
vanity
or
ostentation
,
or
affectation
,
setled
upon
indisputable
principles
,
and
unmovable
grounds
,
the
revealed
will
of
God
:
who
since
he
is
the
author
of
our
being
,
nothing
is
more
gratefully
just
,
than
that
his
will
should
prescribe
a
rule
to
our
actions
:
to
which
the
more
we
study
to
apply
and
conforme
our selves
in
all
our
actions
,
the
more
we
follow
holinesse
.
This
,
this
is
that
frame
and
temper
of
our
soules
and
lives
,
which
God
our
Father
,
and
Christ
our
Saviour
,
and
the
holy
Spirit
our
Sanctifier
,
the
Word
our
Instructer
,
the
Sacraments
our
confirmers
,
the
Saints
our
forerunners
,
the
Angels
our
protectors
:
all
with
one
voice
recommend
to
us
Follow
holinesse
,
O
ye
sonnes
of
men
,
without
which
yet
shall
never
see
the
face
of
God
.
Our
most
holy
faith
and
profession
;
the
precepts
,
promises
,
and
hopes
revealed
;
all
our
duties
of
preaching
,
hearing
,
reading
,
meditating
,
praying
,
receiving
,
fasting
,
almsgiving
,
&c.
all
are
to
advance
this
quality
of
holinesse
in
us
.
This
is
one
great
intent
of
Christs
comming
,
his
living
with
us
,
and
dying
for
us
,
that
hee
might
sanctifie
,
as
well
as
justifie
us
;
save
us
from
the
power
as
well
as
the
punishment
of
sinne
;
that
he
might
give
us
a
most
perfect
and
excellent
example
,
and
purchase
to
himselfe
a
holy
people
,
Luke
1.74
.
That
we
being
delivered
from
our
enemies
,
might
serve
him
without
feare
,
in
righteousnesse
and
holinesse
all
the
dayes
of
our
life
,
So
Titus
2.11
.
The
grace
of
God
that
bringeth
salvation
to
all
men
hath
appeared
,
teaching
us
that
denying
,
&c.
1
Cor.
1.30
.
Christ
is
made
to
us
wisedome
,
righteousnesse
,
sanctification
,
and
redemption
.
This
is
the
fire
that
inflames
,
and
the
incense
that
perfumes
all
our
duties
,
sacrifices
,
and
services
to
God
,
so
as
to
make
them
accepted
through
Christ
.
This
sets
a
value
on
two
mites
,
and
a
cup
of
cold
water
,
and
a
handfull
of
meale
,
without
which
all
externall
pompe
and
cost
of
services
,
is
not
only
not
pleasing
,
but
fulsome
,
nauseous
,
and
abominable
to
God
,
Esay
1.12
Offer
no
more
vaine
oblations
;
who
hath
required
these
things
at
your
hands
?
yet
the
Law
did
,
but
not
in
such
a
manner
,
with
unwashed
hands
,
and
unholy
hearts
,
Prov.
21.27
.
Even
the
prayers
and
sacrifices
of
the
wicked
are
abomination
to
God
.
The
Heathen
saw
this
well
,
and
hath
admirably
expressed
it
,
—
Quin
demus
superis
—
Compositum
jus
,
fasque
animi
,
sanctosque
recessus
Mentis
,
&
incoctum
generoso
pectus
honesto
,
Haec
cedò
,
ut
admoveam
templis
&

litabo
.
Holinesse
is
the
Ladder
of
heaven
,
whose
lowest
step
is
humility
,
and
the
highest
love
,
and
devotion
;
by
which
the
soule
descends
to
men
in
charity
,
and
ascends
to
God
in
piety
.
This
is
that
which
prepares
and
disposeth
the
soule
for
Heaven
;
without
which
Heaven
it selfe
would
be
no
Heaven
,
or
not
pleasing
to
us
:
Better
be
holy
in
hell
,
if
possible
than
unholy
in
Heaven
;
though
these
two
are
unseparable
,
Holinesse
and
Happinesse
;
differing
only
in
degree
,
not
in
kinde
.
For
Holinesse
is
the
sparke
of
Happinesse
,
and
happinesse
the
flame
of
holinesse
.
Holinesse
is
the
infancy
of
happinesse
,
and
happinesse
the
compleat
stature
of
holinesse
.
Holinesse
is
the
morning
of
happinesse
,
and
happinesse
the
meridian
or
noone-tide
of
holinesse
.
Holinesse
is
the
seed-time
,
and
happinesse
the
full
harvest
:
For
Heaven
is
not
,
as
grosser
mindes
imagine
,
onely
an
impunity
,
or
freedome
from
punishment
,
and
fruition
of
pleasures
,
&c.
but
rather
it
consists
in
an
immunity
from
sin
,
and
a
perfection
of
holinesse
.
This
is
that
one
thing
necessary
,
and
required
of
the
Sons
of
men
,
as
the
condition
of
seeing
God
;
t
is
not
without
Riches
no
man
shall
see
God
;
or
without
Beauty
,
honour
,
strength
,
learning
,
wit
,
&c.
No
,
but
without
holinesse
:
all
other
additaments
thou
maist
dispense
with
,
and
yet
be
happy
;
but
Holinesse
is
indispensible
.
By
the
paths
of
holinesse
onely
our
wearied
and
wandring
Soules
may
returne
to
paradise
,
that
happy
state
and
station
,
whence
we
fell
,
and
were
driven
out
:
all
other
waies
are
severely
kept
against
us
,
by
the
flaming
sword
of
Gods
irreconciliable
anger
and
hatred
against
sinne
:
No
unholy
thing
shall
enter
(
much
lesse
remaine
)
in
the
holy
City
;
all
such
shall
be
cast
out
,
Rev.
21.27
.
Psal.
5.4
.
Thou
art
the
God
that
hast
no
pleasure
in
wickednesse
,
nor
shall
any
evill
dwell
with
thee
.
God
is
of
so
pure
eyes
that
he
cannot
behold
iniquity
,
no
more
than
the
Sun
can
behold
darknesse
;
for
its
appearing
turnes
all
darknesse
into
light
;
much
lesse
can
darknesse
looke
upon
light
,
or
sinners
on
God
;
this
is
hell
neither
to
see
,
nor
to
be
seen
of
God
;
whose
favourable
presence
is
the
life
,
his
absence
the
death
of
the
soule
forever
.
But
I
have
done
with
the
first
particular
,
what
holinesse
is
.
The
second
thing
is
,
who
must
follow
it
?
Every
one
that
hath
a
soule
to
save
,
or
a
minde
to
see
God
.
The
exclusion
is
peremptory
and
universall
;
Without
holinesse
no
man
shall
see
God
:
with
this
no
man
need
despaire
,
though
never
so
defective
for
other
things
;
without
this
no
man
may
presume
,
God
is
no
Accepter
of
persons
.
Not
the
rich
,
nor
great
,
nor
noble
,
nor
valiant
,
nor
beautifull
;
not
the
morally
civill
,
not
the
witty
and
learned
Scholars
,
not
the
deepe
States-men
,
and
darke
Polititians
,
not
the
potent
Princes
and
mighty
Monarchs
of
the
world
;
none
of
them
may
flatter
themselves
to
reach
Heaven
without
holinesse
:
God
will
cast
deformity
on
all
your
so
much
flattered
and
selfe-admiring
beauty
,
which
is
deceitfull
to
the
owner
,
and
dangerous
to
others
;
unlesse
the
beauty
of
holinesse
be
added
to
thee
,
like
Apples
of
Gold
in
pictures
of
silver
,
which
makes
thee
lovely
not
only
to
good
minds
on
earth
,
but
also
to
the
Angels
,
and
God
himselfe
in
Heaven
.
God
will
infatuate
all
your
fallacious
wisedome
and
selfe-destroying
wit
:
he
will
discover
the
shallownesse
of
all
your
imaginary
depths
and
counsels
.
He
will
one
day
appeare
the
only
true
wise
man
,
who
is
wise
for
his
soule
to
God
and
to
Eternity
,
which
is
none
but
the
holy
man
.
God
will
make
to
vanish
all
the
dreames
and
shadowes
of
your
imaginary
greatnesse
,
and
flat
the
swelling
sailes
of
your
titles
of
honour
,
fild
only
with
popular
breath
and
opinion
of
men
,
your selves
and
others
:
He
will
be
then
truely
and
only
honourable
who
hath
sought
Gods
honour
,
more
than
his
owne
,
whom
God
will
admit
to
his
sacred
presence
and
favour
:
this
is
none
but
the
holy
man
.
Nay
God
will
cast
contempt
upon
Princes
,
as
the
Psalmist
speakes
,
and
in
stead
of
Robes
of
Majesty
,
they
shall
be
covered
with
their
owne
confusion
as
with
a
cloake
,
unlesse
they
be
sacred
in
heart
as
wel
as
in
title
;
consecrated
to
God
as
wel
as
exalted
above
men
;
except
there
be
the
inward
annointing
of
Gods
holy
Spirit
,
as
wel
as
the
outward
of
the
Prelate
.
As
they
are
neere
to
God
in
greatnesse
and
place
,
so
they
must
be
in
grace
and
holinesse
,
if
ever
they
hope
to
attaine
to
glory
and
happinesse
.
Even
in
Princes
God
tels
Samuel
,
He
lookes
not
at
the
outward
appearance
,
but
at
the
heart
.
That
,
that
indeed
is
truely
Sacred
Majesty
in
Princes
,
when
being
Gods
Vicegerents
on
earth
,
they
doe
that
which
they
are
perswaded
in
their
conscience
God
himselfe
or
Christ
would
doe
,
if
they
reigned
visibly
as
King
on
earth
:
when
being
Vmbratiles
Dij
,
the
back
parts
and
shadowes
of
God
,
they
most
fully
represent
in
a
humane
model
,
the
divine
perfections
.
Certainely
nothing
sets
forth
Princes
to
a
more
divine
honour
,
love
and
veneration
,
than
their
exemplary
vertues
and
holinesse
.
Hic
animus
,
atque
hae
sunt
generosi
Principis
artes
.
This
even
they
,
the
greatest
of
men
,
must
follow
,
since
they
are
but
Mortales
Dij
,
and
must
die
like
men
;
unlesse
they
meane
to
come
infinitely
below
the
meanest
of
their
good
Subjects
in
the
other
world
,
whom
in
this
they
so
much
exceed
.
Indeed
all
of
us
,
both
great
and
small
must
follow
holinesse
,
since
all
have
relation
to
so
holy
a
Creator
,
to
so
holy
a
Redeemer
,
and
to
so
holy
a
Comforter
,
being
Subjects
to
the
King
of
Saints
.
Yea
,
we
are
,
or
should
be
the
habitation
and
Temple
wherein
God
will
delight
to
dwell
,
1
Cor.
3.17
.
If
any
man
defile
the
Temple
of
God
,
him
will
God
destroy
.
Nay
we
are
the
Heaven
where
God
resides
:
every
Saint
(
saith
Saint
Bernard
)
is
Gods
Sanctuary
,
and
every
holy
heart
a
Heaven
;
therefore
that
is
called
the
Heaven
of
Heavens
where
the
Saints
are
;
in
every
of
whom
God
dwels
more
gloriously
than
in
any
materiall
Heaven
.
In
all
callings
and
states
of
life
holinesse
is
necessary
;
every
action
should
be
a
step
to
arrive
neerer
to
God
:
Holinesse
is
the
poore
mans
riches
,
the
meane
mans
honour
,
the
weak
mans
strength
,
the
banisheds
home
,
the
prisoners
freedome
,
the
young
mans
glory
,
the
old
mans
crowne
,
the
sick
mans
health
,
the
dying
mans
hope
and
life
:
In
a
word
it
is
all
in
all
to
all
men
dying
and
living
.
The
weight
of
this
text
lies
upon
All
,
to
move
them
to
follow
holinesse
,
and
those
especially
who
have
most
impediments
and
diversions
,
yet
their
actions
are
most
exemplary
,
whether
they
be
good
or
bad
.
O
when
power
and
piety
,
greatnesse
and
goodnesse
,
heigth
and
holinesse
meet
together
,
and
make
up
one
Magistrate
,
one
Minister
,
one
King
,
how
divine
,
how
glorious
,
how
attractive
,
and
commanding
all
hearts
to
a
love
or
feare
,
are
their
lives
and
actions
!
Like
a
noble
constellation
which
consists
of
many
stars
,
no
lesse
benigne
and
propitious
for
their
influence
,
than
eminent
and
conspicuous
for
their
light
.
And
if
I
were
to
speake
to
men
of
my
owne
calling
,
superiors
or
equalls
(
as
I
see
I
am
likely
to
doe
to
some
)
I
should
with
all
humble
and
respective
earnestnesse
recommend
Holinesse
to
their
hearts
,
thoughts
,
words
,
lives
,
gestures
,
lookes
,
and
conversations
.
Etiam
vultu
laeditur
sanctitas
:
Haughty
and
supercilious
lookes
,
and
insolent
comportment
,
much
more
such
speech
and
actions
mis-become
the
holinesse
and
humility
of
our
profession
.
There
are
holy
orders
,
and
holy
duties
,
to
which
we
are
admitted
;
and
there
is
a
speciall
ceremony
of
consecration
used
for
Bishops
.
O
let
us
make
good
the
holinesse
of
our
titles
and
function
,
by
the
holinesse
of
our
conversation
.
Let
not
the
world
reproach
us
,
as
some
doe
the
vanity
and
arrogancy
of
the
Popes
,
who
challenge
to
themselves
the
title
of
his
Holinesse
;
by
way
of
eminency
(
or
emphasis
)
when
indeed
it
is
(
say
they
)
by
Antiphrasis
,
or
contrariety
,
being
for
the
most
part
solecismes
and
contradictions
to
their
names
,
as
he
said
of
Probus
,
vir
minimè
probus
.
O
let
us
never
vainely
imagine
,
that
there
is
a
neerer
way
to
the
Clergies
honour
,
than
by
the
Clergies
Holinesse
.
Though
Holinesse
even
despised
as
a
Jewell
under
foot
,
hath
its
true
and
internall
honour
and
value
still
.
But
O
let
not
our
preaching
,
our
writing
,
our
living
any
way
decry
,
damp
,
and
discountenance
Holinesse
,
which
is
Gods
honour
,
and
the
Churches
honour
,
and
must
be
our
both
honour
and
happinesse
.
O
let
us
not
vainely
contend
for
an
imputed
and
relative
Holinesse
in
Churches
,
and
tables
,
and
vestures
,
and
gestures
,
and
neglect
it
in
our
hearts
and
lives
.
Our
word
must
be
that
of
Saint
Paul
,
Be
ye
followers
of
me
as
I
am
of
Christ
,
that
is
,
of
Holinesse
,
which
was
Christs
way
.
This
,
not
onely
the
better
world
,
which
are
extreamely
ashamed
and
grieved
for
the
contrary
,
but
even
the
worser
,
dissolute
,
and
debauched
sort
of
people
exact
of
us
,
whom
we
harden
extreamly
against
our
doctrines
by
our
contrary
manners
;
and
who
are
glad
by
the
faults
and
scandalls
of
Ministers
(
holy
men
as
they
should
be
)
to
justifie
or
excuse
their
owne
vitious
and
unholy
lives
.
The
higher
our
calling
raiseth
us
,
the
neerer
should
it
bring
us
to
God
,
and
the
more
should
the
face
of
our
lives
like
Moses
his
,
shine
with
the
beames
of
holinesse
while
we
daily
converse
with
God
.
Nothing
more
justifies
,
and
assures
the
truth
of
our
faith
and
doctrine
,
than
the
sutable
holinesse
of
our
lives
.
(
let
not
that
be
verified
of
us
,
which
Ieremy
complained
of
in
his
time
,
From
the
Prophets
is
prophanenesse
gone
into
all
the
Land
.
But
rather
let
us
take
Saint
Pauls
good
advice
to
Timothy
,
Thou
O
man
of

these
things

,
love
,

,
meeknesse
,
&c.
3
We
come
now
to
the
third
particular
,
how
we
must
follow
Holinesse
.
1
For
the
measure
how
farre
,
to
the
heigth
,
aime
at
perfection
;
anticipate
thy
Heaven
as
much
as
may
be
here
on
earth
;
emulate
and
strive
to
equall
thy
patterne
for
parts
,
though
not
for
degrees
;
Be
ye
holy
as
your
heavenly
Father
is
holy
:
he
hath
nothing
of
true
holinesse
,
who
thinkes
he
hath
enough
,
or
may
have
too
much
.
Nimietates
&
excessus
affectuum
Deo
debentur
:
All
the
excesse
of
our
vehement
and
unsatisfied
desires
should
run
this
way
after
God
and
Holinesse
.
2
For
the
manner
how
:
I
answer
,
1
Follow
it
universally
in
all
points
;
the
same
tie
lies
upon
thee
in
any
one
action
which
doth
in
all
:
Holinesse
is
the
salt
which
must
season
all
,
so
farre
as
humane
infirmity
can
attaine
.
Thou
wouldst
not
have
some
sparkes
of
Hell
mixt
with
thy
joyes
of
Heaven
:
O
strive
that
no
sin
(
if
possible
)
may
allay
thy
Holinesse
and
integrity
,
Be
ye
holy
in
all
manner
of
conversation
,
and
perfecting
holinesse
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
.
2
Follow
it
earnestly
,
with
vehement
affections
,
not
cold
,
languishing
,
lukewarme
and
indifferent
;
content
not
thy selfe
with
a
few
posting
and
perfunctory
prayers
;
easie
and
lazy
formalities
of
duties
,
obesae
animae
,
like
fat
and
pursie
soules
that
cannot
follow
either
fast
,
or
farre
:
But
rise
to
that
intensivenesse
in
following
Holinesse
,
with
which
the
Covetous
man
followes
his
gain
,
the
Ambitious
his
honour
,
the
Voluptuous
his
pleasure
;
follow
it
with
the
same
eagernesse
,
wherewith
thou
hast
formerly
followed
sin
,
the
world
,
and
the
Devill
;
Follow
Holinesse
with
the
same
flagrancy
and
contention
,
as
wicked
men
doe
persecute
and
oppose
it
.
They
have
their
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
so
must
thou
,
but
sancta
&
pia
persecutio
,
a
sacred
and
commendable
prosecution
.
3
Follow
it
cheerfully
,
not
in
a
tedious
drooping
and
dejected
manner
which
brings
an
ill
report
on
Gods
wayes
;
no
man
hath
more
right
to
moderate
mirth
(
which
is
the
only
true
)
than
he
which
is
in
the
way
of
Holinesse
,
and
indeed
of
happinesse
.
O
let
not
that
be
a
burthen
to
our
Spirits
here
,
which
must
be
the
joy
and
crowne
and
constant
disposition
of
our
soules
in
heaven
.
The
deadnesse
and
indispositions
from
within
,
which
we
are
Subject
unto
,
are
not
to
be
imputed
to
the
wayes
of
holinesse
,
but
to
the
weaknesse
of
our
natures
;
as
the
lothnesse
to
use
exercise
proceedeth
from
the
ill
humors
,
which
oppresse
the
Spirits
in
a
diseased
body
,
and
not
from
the
inconvenience
of
exercise
,
which
is
the
way
to
dispel
those
ill
humours
,
and
to
recover
health
and
agility
.
For
the
difficulties
and
discouragements
from
without
,
they
are
not
much
to
be
considered
by
any
,
but
those
that
know
not
what
is
the
worth
of
a
Soule
,
the
weight
of
Eternity
,
the
comfort
of
a
good
conscience
,
and
of
the
hopes
of
Heaven
,
in
the
sight
and
fruition
of
God
.
4
Follow
it
exactly
&
closely
,
not
at
large
and
at
distances
a
far
off
,
as
the
Disciples
followed
Christ
to
be
crucified
,
Ephes.

walke
(
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
)
strictly
and
precisely
in
a
sound
and
Apostolicall
sense
.
There
will
be
rimulae
,
leakes
and
flanes
of
infirmities
,
and
daily
incursions
in
all
our
lives
;
but
let
there
not
be
(
hiatus
)
wide
breaches
and
gapings
of
presumption
:
keep
not
willingly
any
distance
or
dissimilitude
from
Christ
,
be
not
ashamed
or
discountenanced
to
come
neere
to
him
and
to
be
like
to
him
in
all
points
.
Follow
holinesse
,
not
timidè
&
pudibundè
;
it
is
pudendus
pudor
,
a
shame
infinitely
to
be
ashamed
of
,
that
any
Chistian
should
be
ashamed
to
be
,
or
to
be
thought
too
holy
;
but
that
he
must
now
and
then
dare
to
sweare
,
and
ly
,
and
talke
obscenely
&
prophanely
,
or
live
riotously
,
that
he
may
not
seeme
too
precise
.
Canst
thou
be
too
fit
for
heaven
,
or
too
far
from
sin
and
hell
?
5
Follow
Holinesse
speedily
,
begin
betimes
:
all
life
is
lost
that
is
not
spent
in
a
holy
course
of
living
;
it
is
a
dead
life
,
nay
a
damning
life
without
amendment
.
All
our
life
is
too
little
to
live
well
;
the
Sun
cannot
rise
too
early
,
except
to
a
sluggard
;
nor
can
holinesse
be
too
soone
begun
in
thy
heart
,
except
thou
love
to
sleepe
in
thy
sin
:
It
were
happy
if
with
Ieremy
and
Iohn
Baptist
we
were
sanctified
from
the
Wombe
and
Font
,
from
the
dawning
and
morning
of
our
lives
,
but
,
O
jam
clarum
mane
fenestras
intrat
.
Rom.
13.12
.
It
is
high
time
to
rise
from
sin
and
follow
Holinesse
,
the
day
of
our
short
life
is
farre
spent
in
following
vanity
and
things
that
cannot
profit
:
the
night
of
death
is
at
hand
,
ô
make
haste
to
live
,
and
to
live
holily
,
that
thou
mayst
not
come
short
of
dying
happily
.
Breve
sit
quod
turpiter
audes
.
How
many
hast
thou
knowne
cut
off
in
their
youth
and
strength
,
and
confidence
of
living
,
and
it
may
be
in
their
purposes
and
essayes
of
amendng
.
Many
of
us
have
one
foot
in
the
grave
,
through
the
course
of
age
,
and
infirmities
that
attend
it
;
nay
,
even
of
the
strongest
of
us
;
we
may
say
as
David
said
to
Ionathan
,
As
the
Lord
liveth
,
and
as
thy
soule
liveth
,
there
is
but
a
step
betweene
thee
and
death
,
yea
,
and
hell
too
;
and
yet
many
of
us
not
yet
gone
one
step
of
serious
resolutions
,
to
follow
Holinesse
,
and
forsake
our
old
sins
.
O
dally
not
with
thy
life
,
with
thy
soule
,
with
hell
,
and
eternall
death
:
delaies
are
extreame
dangerous
where
the
opportunity
is
short
,
and
the
omission
is
irreparable
:
Remember
on
this
moment
depends
eternity
.
Death
followes
us
,
and
sin
followes
us
,
and
our
owne
evill
consciences
,
and
hell
,
and
the
Devill
too
will
follow
and
overtake
us
,
if
we
flie
not
from
them
by
following
Christ
where
ever
he
goes
in
the
waies
of
Holinesse
.
O
learne
of
David
,
Psalme
119.60
I
made
haste
and
prolonged
not
the
time
to
turne
my
feete
into
thy
wayes
.
6
Follow
it
sincerely
,
Simulata
Sanctitas
▪
duplex
iniquitas
.
Hypocrisie
is
a
double
and
twisted
impiety
.
It
s
not
only
a
not
serving
God
,
but
a
mocking
of
him
,
and
it
shall
have
a
double
condemnation
for
the
want
of
holinesse
which
should
be
,
and
for
the
ly
and
pretension
of
what
was
not
;
nothing
is
more
contrary
to
the
simplicity
of
Gods
Nature
,
and
the
truth
and
integrity
of
his
Word
and
intentions
to
men
,
than
simulation
and
hypocrisie
.
Nothing
hath
more
clouded
,
ecclipsed
and
deformed
the
beauty
of
holinesse
,
than
the
impudent
pretentions
of
some
to
it
;
who
like
Apes
and
Monkies
are
the
more
deformed
and
ridiculous
,
because
in
some
things
they
resemble
the
shape
,
and
imitate
the
actions
of
men
,
but
want
their
reason
,
Galat.
6.7
.
Be
not
deceived
,
God
is
not
mocked
,
what
a
man
sowes
that
he
shall
reape
:
He
that
sowes
only
shadowes
,
and
shewes
,
and
formalities
of
holinesse
,
shall
reape
only
shadowes
and
shewes
and
dreames
of
peace
,
comfort
,
and
happinesse
.
The
deceiver
will
at
last
be
most
deceived
.
O
be
good
in
good
earnest
,
or
not
at
all
;
Lose
not
so
much
time
and
paines
to
act
a
part
of
holinesse
,
which
will
but
improve
thy
misery
:
what
is
it
to
be
applauded
of
men
,
and
abhorred
of
God
?
What
is
the
hope
of
the
hypocrite
(
saith
he
in
Iob
)
when
God
shall
take
away
his
soule
?
7
And
lastly
,
follow
holinesse
constantly
,
not
desultoriè
,
lamely
,
brokenly
,
and
abruptly
,
by
fits
only
;
but
with
a
steddy
and
resolute
course
,
as
the
Sun
moves
,
neither
going
backe
,
nor
standing
still
.
Perseverance
is
the
crowne
of
graces
,
and
gets
the
crowne
of
Glory
:
thou
expectest
God
should
make
thee
incessantly
happy
in
his
Eternity
;
O
be
thou
holy
(
in
tua
aeternitate
as
Saint
Bernard
)
in
thy
limited
and
short
eternity
.
Consider
how
noble
a
patterne
thou
hast
in
Christ
thy
Saviour
,
who
deferred
his
owne
glory
,
till
he
had
finished
thy
salvation
.
Consider
how
great
encouragements
thou
hast
,
how
sweet
comforts
for
the
present
,
how
ample
reward
and
expectation
for
the
future
.
O
let
no
difficulties
take
thee
off
,
nor
errors
divert
thee
,
let
them
rather
whet
and
exasperate
thy
resolutions
and
endeavours
;
let
no
superstition
deceive
thee
,
nor
persecution
deterre
thee
;
having
begunne
in
the
spirit
,
doe
not
end
in
the
flesh
.
Remember
thou
hast
alwaies
a
viaticum
,
means
of
refreshing
neere
thee
;
The
holy
word
and
promises
,
and
Sacraments
to
relieve
thee
;
the
holy
Spirit
to
assist
thee
,
and
helpe
thy
infirmities
.
Thou
hast
Gods
holy
day
wherein
to
be
specially
vacant
to
holy
duties
,
and
the
soules
improvement
;
by
the
carefull
sanctifying
whereof
,
there
is
no
doubt
,
but
the
pious
soule
is
better
enabled
to
see
God
here
,
in
his
Word
and
workes
,
and
hereafter
in
his
glory
and
presence
:
we
have
also
praeclara
exempla
,
of
holy
men
and
women
,
Saints
in
all
ages
,
which
have
gone
before
us
in
the
waies
of
holinesse
to
that
state
of
happinesse
,
through
all
the
oppositions
of
men
and
devills
.
Heroick
and
invincible
followers
of
holinesse
,
now
glorious
and
immortall
possessors
of
happinesse
.
Praeclara
spectantibus
mediocria
praestare
pudori
esse
debet
:
having
so
noble
and
inviting
examples
set
before
us
,
it
is
a
shame
for
us
either
to
follow
them
not
at
all
,
or
with
weake
and
slender
imitations
.
4
Wherefore
must
we
thus
follow
Holinesse
?
This
brings
me
to
the
last
point
,
the
second
generall
,
the
motive
or
inducement
,
without
which
no
man
shall
see
God
.
Holinesse
is
that
alone
which
makes
us
capable
of
the
beatifick
vision
.
But
this
is
a
point
of
so
high
speculation
,
of
so
serious
consideration
for
the
obtaining
or
loosing
of
it
,
of
so
infinite
comfort
is
the
vision
and
fruition
of
God
;
of
so
infinite
honour
,
the
separation
from
him
,
that
it
would
farre
exceed
the
time
,
and
my
speech
,
to
set
it
forth
to
you
as
it
deserves
.
Onely
this
short
glimpse
we
may
take
of
it
,
That
there
are
many
intervenient
fruits
of
holinesse
worth
our
ambition
here
,
by
which
we
see
God
,
though
dimly
,
&
at
distance
in
his
Word
and
promises
,
in
his
Sacraments
,
in
his
Son
our
Saviour
,
in
his
workes
,
in
his
servants
,
in
the
motions
of
his
Spirit
,
in
the
wayes
of
his
providence
,
mercies
and
judgements
.
To
all
which
Holinesse
only
cleares
and
enlightens
and
enables
the
soule
so
as
to
see
God
,
to
enjoy
and
admire
him
.
This
makes
oculatam
animam
,
an
eyed
and
seeing
minde
,
which
otherwaies
is
blinde
and
dead
,
Mat.
5.
Blessed
are
the
pure
in
heart
,
for
they
and
they
onely
do
and
shall
see
God
.
But
O
when
we
come
to
see
not
his
footsteps
,
or
back
parts
,
or
shadow
,
or
hands
,
but
his
face
,
by
an
immediate
intuition
of
his
Majesty
,
how
shall
we
be
filled
with
glory
and
happinesse
?
O
praeclarum
&
invidendum
spectaculum
!
In
this
life
indeed
(
as
God
told
Moses
)
no
man
can
see
his
face
and
live
;
Scrutator
Majestatis
opprimetur
à
gloriâ
.
But
in
heaven
,
we
shall
live
by
the
sight
and
light
of
God
.
Sectator
sanctitatis
perficietur
à
gloriâ
.
If
then
it
be
any
comfort
to
see
the
light
of
the
Sun
,
the
beauty
of
Heaven
and
earth
,
or
the
face
of
an
indulgent
Father
,
an
excellent
friend
,
or
a
gracious
Prince
,
who
is
as
an
Angell
of
God
,
what
is
it
to
see
God
himselfe
?
O
What
a
Sea
and
inundation
of
unspeakeable
joy
and
happinesse
must
flow
in
upon
the
soule
,
to
behold
the
brightnesse
of
Gods
presence
,
the
glory
of
his
Majesty
,
the
beauty
of
his
goodnesse
,
the
treasures
of
his
wisedome
,
the
immensity
of
his
power
,
the
amplitude
of
his
mercy
,
the
perfection
of
his
holinesse
and
infinite
happinesse
!
And
last
of
all
,
the
eternall
wonder
of
his
free
and
unchangeable
love
to
us
,
so
much
below
him
,
so
as
nothing
in
comparison
of
him
!
In
thy
light
(
saith
the
Psalmist
)
wee
shall
see
light
;
the
way
is
by
the
light
of
grace
,
to
come
to
the
light
of
glory
;
by
the
beauty
of
holinesse
to
come
to
the
perfection
of
happinesse
,
which
is
the
sight
of
God
:
which
what
it
is
we
shall
best
tell
when
we
come
to
it
.
I
must
now
leave
it
to
the
worke
of
Gods
Spirit
in
your
devouter
hearts
,
to
consider
more
largely
and
sublimely
of
this
point
.
Onely
give
me
leave
by
way
of
conclusion
to
appeale
to
your
piety
,
wisedome
,
and
experience
,
Whether
the
waies
of
holinesse
be
not
worth
the
following
,
which
end
in
such
happinesse
,
as
is
beyond
expressing
:
Whether
it
be
not
a
vanity
,
folly
,
and
extreame
madnesse
for
men
and
women
,
that
are
built
for
eternity
,
and
capable
of
the
highest
good
,
so
much
to
neglect
their
soules
,
their
God
,
and
their
happinesse
by
following
their
sins
,
the
worldly
pleasures
,
profits
,
and
honours
,
with
the
neglect
of
holinesse
?
The
Devill
,
the
evill
world
,
and
a
mans
owne
corrupt
heart
,
will
allow
him
to
bee
any
thing
,
so
he
be
not
holy
:
let
him
bee
rich
,
and
faire
,
and
strong
,
and
great
,
and
honourable
,
and
witty
,
and
eloquent
,
and
civill
,
and
politicke
,
and
knowing
even
in
divine
mysteries
,
any
thing
,
so
as
hee
bee
not
holy
.
All
these
things
(
as
the
Devill
said
to
Christ
)
will
I
give
thee
,
if
thou
wilt
be
unholy
still
,
and
like
my selfe
:
Holinesse
is
that
alone
the
Devill
wants
,
and
despaires
of
himselfe
,
and
that
he
most
envies
us
the
sons
of
men
;
because
hee
knowes
it
sets
us
in
a
way
of
happinesse
so
infinitely
above
him
.
But
what
our
Saviour
said
,
Matth.
8.22
.
to
the
young
man
that
desired
respite
to
bury
his
dead
Father
,
Let
the
dead
bury
the
dead
,
but
follow
thou
me
.
This
give
me
leave
to
say
to
all
you
that
heare
me
this
day
;
let
dead
hearts
bury
themselves
in
dead
comforts
,
dead
honours
,
dead
pleasures
,
dead
hopes
,
&c.
but
follow
thou
Christ
,
follow
Holinesse
.
I
further
appeale
to
the
justice
of
your
piety
,
and
goodnesse
,
Whether
the
waies
of
holinesse
,
and
the
followers
of
them
deserve
to
be
derided
,
despised
,
discountenanced
,
&
discouraged
so
much
as
they
are
by
the
proud
,
prophane
,
sensuall
,
and
superstitious
mindes
of
the
world
?
whether
they
which
despise
holinesse
doe
not
withall
despise
their
owne
soules
,
their
God
and
Saviour
?
whether
they
forsake
not
their
owne
mercies
,
who
follow
lying
vanities
?
whether
this
be
not
to
glory
in
our
shame
,
to
be
ashamed
of
that
which
is
the
glory
of
God
,
and
the
reasonable
creature
?
Lastly
,
I
appeale
to
your
royall
wisedome
,
and
the
rest
of
your
Noble
and
Christian
Prudence
&
Piety
,
Whether
those
that
follow
peace
and
Holinesse
,
and
are
fitted
to
a
capacity
of
seeing
the
great
God
and
King
of
Heaven
in
his
Glory
,
be
not
also
the
worthiest
and
fittest
to
see
the
face
and
enjoy
the
favours
of
Christian
Kings
on
earth
?
These
,
these
are
they
that
best
know
the
duty
,
honour
,
and
fidelity
,
they
owe
to
Majesty
;
and
make
a
conscience
to
pay
it
,
because
it
is
a
point
of
Holinesse
so
to
doe
.
These
are
the
propugnacula
&
munimenta
regni
&
Ecclesiae
,
as
was
said
of
Saint
Ambrose
,
the
strength
,
honour
,
and
security
of
the
Church
and
State
,
under
God
and
his
Majesties
care
and
pious
providence
.
These
are
in
some
sort
,
the
(
tutelares
Genii
)
protectors
of
his
Majesties
person
,
health
,
life
,
Crowne
,
Queene
,
and
posterity
;
while
they
daily
lift
up
pure
hands
and
holy
hearts
to
the
God
of
Heaven
,
for
his
Majesties
safety
,
honour
,
and
happinesse
.
These
are
like
Moses
and
Elias
,
the
Horsemen
and
Chariots
of
Israel
;
these
have
power
with
God
by
their
prayers
,
counsells
,
and
good
examples
;
they
stand
in
the
gap
,
and
hinder
the
inundation
of
sin
and
judgements
.
To
these
we
owe
under
God
the
enjoyment
of
our
peace
,
plenty
,
safety
,
and
Religion
,
and
of
the
blessing
of
blessings
temporall
,
a
pious
and
gratious
Prince
.
O
then
let
not
Holinesse
(
I
beseech
you
)
bee
banished
,
as
I
beleeve
it
is
not
,
from
your
hearts
,
your
words
,
your
houses
,
your
lives
,
from
your
favour
and
good
opinion
,
from
your
service
;
nor
from
your
Court
:
Let
there
not
be
wanting
in
this
place
Iosephs
,
and
Mordecays
,
and
Nehemiahs
,
and
Daniels
,
men
in
whom
is
the
Spirit
of
the
holy
God
,
as
that
Heathen
Prince
said
of
Daniel
.
There
is
a
Booke
called
The
holy
Court
,
which
might
be
usefull
to
Courtiers
,
if
it
were
not
unsafe
,
being
larded
with
many
false
and
frivolous
opinions
,
and
superstitious
practises
:
It
will
bee
your
honour
and
happinesse
to
act
what
he
sought
to
write
.
O
follow
not
sinne
and
vanity
,
or
strife
and
contention
,
or
lubricity
and
impurity
,
or
vaine-glory
,
&c.
these
will
cast
you
out
from
the
presence
of
God
,
and
betray
you
to
utter
darknesse
:
And
what
considerate
minde
can
with
patience
thinke
of
being
ever
separated
from
the
fountaine
of
its
being
,
life
and
happinesse
?
O
what
infinite
darknesse
,
necessity
,
and
horror
must
for
ever
oppresse
that
soule
!
Holinesse
only
is
that
divine
magnetick
power
,
which
drawes
the
soule
to
God
,
and
God
to
the
soule
,
never
quiet
till
it
be
united
to
the
fountaine
,
its
vertue
.
I
know
your
piety
cannot
but
consider
oft
and
seriously
,
That
the
greatest
of
you
will
be
one
day
like
Sampson
(
when
his
fatall
haire
was
cut
)
weak
,
and
impotent
and
like
other
men
;
your
eyes
blinded
,
your
great
strength
departed
,
the
chaines
of
darknesse
will
involve
you
,
the
wormes
will
be
your
fetters
,
and
the
grave
your
prison
.
O
while
you
live
follow
holinesse
,
that
when
you
die
(
as
Sampson
did
)
you
may
quite
destroy
those
enimies
,
which
living
you
could
not
;
that
death
may
be
an
end
of
your
sinne
and
mortality
,
but
the
beginning
and
consummation
of
your
endlesse
happinesse
in
the
sight
of
God
.
That
when
the
eyes
of
your
bodies
shall
be
shut
to
this
world
,
and
all
things
desirable
here
;
the
eye
of
your
soule
(
that
rationall
and
eternall
eye
)
may
be
opened
to
see
and
enjoy
God
,
and
reigne
with
Christ
for
ever
.
That
you
and
we
though
in
different
degrees
,
may
then
receive
that
Crowne
of
immortall
glory
,
which
is
free
from
cares
and
crosses
,
from
feares
and
jealousies
,
from
sleep
,
and
soule-breaking
distractions
,
but
full
of
a
divine
and
constant
glory
,
serenity
,
joy
,
and
eternall
security
.
Amen
.
A
SERMON
PREACHED
BEFORE
THE
IVDGES
AT
CHELMSFORD
.
ZECH.
8.16
.
These
are
the
things
yee
shall
doe
;
speake
yee
every
man
the
truth
to
his
Neighbour
:
execute
the
judgement
of
truth
and
peace
in
your
Gates
.
THE
Customary
solemnity
of
publike
Assise
,
and
administration
of
Justice
,
hath
not
more
of
state
and
policy
,
than
of
safety
and
piety
,
in
this
;
That
not
only
the
gentry
and
commons
,
but
your
wisedome
and
gravity
(
Right
Honourable
and
Reverend
)
disdaine
not
to
receive
advice
from
the
Pulpit
,
before
you
goe
to
the
Bench
;
and
hear
Gods
charge
to
you
,
before
you
give
your
charge
to
others
:
Hereby
not
so
much
to
conciliate
a
greater
reverence
and
authority
to
your
persons
and
proceedings
,
by
amusing
the
minds
of
the
populacy
,
and
awing
their
consciences
,
with
the
pompe
and
formality
of
religion
(
as
those
Heathen
Law-givers
(
Solon
,
Lycurgus
,
Numa
,
and
others
)
are
said
to
have
done
)
but
seriously
and
in
the
feare
of
God
to
ascend
with
Moses
first
to
the
Mount
,
and
talke
with
God
,
before
you
judge
and
teach
the
people
.
To
the
Law
and
to
the
Testimony
;
these
will
informe
you
the
will
of
God
,
which
is
the
highest
law
and
perfectest
rule
to
examine
truth
,
to
measure
justice
,
and
to
maintaine
peace
;
which
though
they
flow
from
that
pure
and
eternall
fountaine
of
essentiall
truth
,
justice
,
and
peace
,
most
clearly
and
plentifully
in
the
conduit
of
his
Word
;
yet
are
ready
to
contract
much
soil
and
dregs
in
the
vessels
of
mens
hearts
,
and
course
of
humane
actions
;
so
that
the
best
have
need
often
to
refine
and
renew
their
minds
,
by
a
fresh
information
of
their
judgements
,
concerning
the
will
of
God
,
and
resolution
of
their
wills
to
doe
it
.
His
Word
,
no
doubt
,
teacheth
the
best
politicks
;
his
precept
and
example
shew
the
happiest
platforme
of
government
,
whose
almighty
power
is
so
tempered
with
wisedome
and
goodnesse
,
That
as
he
made
at
first
the
state
and
frame
of
all
things
full
of
beauty
,
order
,
and
harmony
,
by
number
,
weight
,
and
measure
;
so
he
still
preserves
and
governes
the
great
Common-wealth
of
all
creatures
in
heaven
and
earth
,
with
that
just
proportion
of
power
and
goodnesse
,
as
keeps
the
generall
peace
of
things
;
and
keepes
off
that
confusion
to
which
the
variety
and
contrariety
of
particular
natures
seeme
to
tend
.
So
that
who
so
will
judge
and
governe
aright
,
shall
not
need
to
use
those
Machiavellian
engines
,
lying
,
fraud
,
simulation
and
injustice
;
mysteries
indeed
not
of
true
policy
,
but
of
iniquity
,
unreasonable
reasons
of
state
,
which
the
impotency
and
folly
of
wicked
men
pretend
as
necessary
;
when
indeed
●●ey
tend
not
to
the
establishing
but
undermining
of
States
,
and
ruine
both
of
governours
and
governed
.
We
need
goe
no
further
than
this
Text
,
to
see
what
God
requires
and
teacheth
us
as
best
,
and
necessary
for
the
well
ordering
of
humane
societies
;
both
for
private
and
publi
,
ke
or
judiciary
proceedings
.
1
In
private
,
that
every
one
speake
the
truth
to
his
neighbour
;
this
would
stop
many
injuries
and
complaints
with
which
the
publike
courts
are
pestred
.
2
In
publike
and
judiciary
proceedings
;
every
one
promote
the
execution
of
truth
and
peace
in
the
gates
.
1
The
people
and
governed
.
By
their
presence
,
obedience
,
assistance
,
by
their
testimony
and
evidence
of
word
and
oath
for
the
search
and
finding
out
of
truth
.
By
their
hands
and
power
for
the
maintaining
of
peace
both
in
the
safety
of
the
person
of
the
Magistrate
,
and
execution
of
that
●ust
sentence
which
they
give
.
2
The
Magistrate
and
persons
governing
,
1
by
their
knowledge
of
what
is
judgement
and
justice
.
2.
By
their
authority
and
power
,
to
execute
what
they
know
is
just
.
3.
By
their
integrity
in
the
execution
,
according
to
truth
and
peace
.
For
these
three
things
are
(
you
know
)
necessary
in
Magistrates
,
and
those
minores
Dii
,
inferiour
mortall
gods
:
1.
Skill
to
governe
power
.
2.
Power
to
arme
their
skill
.
3.
Will●●
actuate
both
uprightly
:
That
neither
ignorance
breed
error
,
and
so
injustice
:
nor
weaknesse
,
contempt
and
opposition
:
nor
corruptnesse
,
injury
and
oppression
.
What
is
knowledge
of
truth
and
equity
,
if
there
be
not
courage
and
conscience
to
speak
it
?
What
is
skill
,
courage
,
and
conscience
,
if
destitute
of
power
,
to
execute
what
they
know
,
and
decree
?
Fundamentum
pacis
veritas
,
stabilimentum
utriusque
potestas
;
Truth
is
the
foundation
of
peace
,
and
power
the
support
of
both
truth
,
and
peace
,
which
without
authority
grow
feeble
,
and
despised
:
as
authority
not
grounded
upon
equity
,
and
guided
by
truth
,
proves
violence
,
tyranny
,
and
oppression
;
and
becommeth
not
a
file
,
sive
,
and
schreene
to
separate
the
rust
from
the
metall
,
the
bran
from
the
flowre
,
the
chaffe
from
the
graine
,
the
vile
and
refuse
from
the
choice
and
precious
;
but
mola
,
&
malleus
plebis
,
the
maul
and
mill
,
that
violently
and
promiscuously
grindes
and
beats
to
peices
all
that
comes
under
its
rigour
,
and
weight
.
Your
Honours
and
wisedomes
I
presume
are
provided
with
all
three
.
Power
and
authority
,
I
am
sure
,
you
have
the
highest
and
amplest
from
the
King
of
Heaven
,
by
the
mediate
appointment
of
our
gracious
King
on
earth
.
Skill
,
and
knowledge
you
have
through
Gods
blessing
by
the
study
and
experience
in
the
lawes
.
Vprightnesse
and
integrity
,
we
charitably
pray
,
and
hope
you
have
from
the
grace
of
God
,
and
the
tendernesse
of
your
owne
consciences
.
Indeed
you
have
all
from
God
;
whose
word
hath
ordained
your
power
,
and
regulated
this
by
just
law
,
and
exacts
a
conscience
in
executing
these
lawes
.
So
that
by
attending
to
Gods
word
you
may
confirme
your
authority
,
encrease
your
knowledge
,
and
incite
your
consciences
.
The
judgement
in
all
points
is
the
Lords
:
as
power
,
justice
▪
and
truth
in
your
judgements
flow
from
him
;
so
will
they
,
as
rivers
,
returne
back
to
him
in
your
reckonings
and
accounts
.
Happy
is
it
when
every
one
of
these
,
as
so
many
rivulets
,
contribute
their
strength
to
the
publick
current
of
justice
;
that
so
judgement
may
runne
downe
,
as
a
noble
and
mighty
streame
,
and
know
no
stop
or
resistance
.
That
every
one
being
a
lover
of
truth
and
peace
,
the
first
and
severest
censurer
and
judge
of
himselfe
,
and
his
owne
actions
;
you
may
with
the
more
patience
and
cheerfulnesse
attend
to
what
I
shall
out
of
Gods
word
with
all
modesty
and
due
observance
,
but
yet
truth
and
faithfulnesse
endeavour
by
the
discharge
of
my
owne
conscience
,
to
informe
some
,
to
reforme
others
,
and
at
least
to
confirme
yours
,
by
stirring
up
your
prudent
mindes
by
way
of
remembrance
of
what
is
just
and
true
,
and
tends
to
your
owne
and
others
peace
.
Which
since
you
know
,
and
have
authority
to
doe
,
happy
are
you
if
you
doe
them
.
These
are
the
things
you
shall
doe
,
&c.
Two
things
are
considerable
in
the
words
.
1.
The
forme
of
the
charge
or
command
,
These
are
the
things
yee
shall
doe
.
2.
The
duty
or
matter
.
1.
Private
,
personall
,
and
universall
to
all
men
,
speak
every
man
the
truth
to
his
neighbour
.
2.
Publick
,
politicall
,
and
speciall
to
Magistrates
;
Execute
the
judgement
of
truth
and
peace
in
your
gates
.
We
will
begin
with
the
duties
themselves
,
and
reserve
the
forme
of
the
command
to
the
last
place
,
when
wee
shall
apply
the
duties
to
every
one
as
they
concerne
them
.
1.
The
first
branch
of
the
duty
and
command
is
private
,
personall
,
and
universall
to
all
men
,
Veriloquentia
.
]
Speak
yee
the
truth
every
man
to
his
neighbour
.
1.
What
we
must
doe
,
speak
the
truth
.
2.
Who
,
every
man
.
3.
To
whom
,
to
his
neighbour
.
1.
Speak
the
truth
:
Man
is
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
a
sociable
creature
.
Speech
is
the
meanes
of
society
and
commerce
.
The
common
change
and
coyne
.
The
mine
of
truth
is
Gods
,
the
mint
and
coynage
of
it
.
Speech
must
have
his
Image
and
superscription
,
the
stamp
and
impression
of
truth
.
It
is
capitall
offence
of
the
highest
Majesty
to
counterfeit
or
falsifie
this
by
a
lie
.
By
Reason
we
come
neere
the

;
by
reason
and
speech
both
wee
exceed
the
beasts
;
by
truth
speaking
we
come
neerest
to
God
,
and
get
farthest
from
the
Devill
,
the
father
of
lies
.
Speech
is
the
peculiar
glory
of
men
;
and
veracity
of
good
men
,
and
Christians
:
It
is
the
glory
of
God
that
his
word
is
truth
,
agreeing
with
his
eternall
minde
and
intention
.
The
glory
of
man
is
to
come
neerest
God
.
Speech
is
the
glasse
and
reflection
of
our
soules
:
words
are
the
characters
,
Ambassadors
,
and
Interpreters
of
our
mindes
,
which
must
give
by
a
true
reflection
,
a
true
information
of
our
meaning
to
others
.
The
soule
of
words
is
truth
,
separated
from
that
they
are
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
cadaverosa

,
rotten
,
corrupt
,
and
unsavory
words
.
To
commend
Truth
in
knowing
or
speaking
,
is
to
commend
the
Sun
;
Sol
est
lux
mundi
,
veritas
mentis
.
As
the
Sun
seated
in
the
heaven
,
from
thence
derives
his
beames
to
all
things
:
so
truth
is
placed
in
the
heaven
of
man
,
the
understanding
,
from
thence
it
must
shine
forth
into
our
words
.
As
light
is
to
our
eyes
,
for
guiding
our
steps
;
so
is
truth
to
our
tongues
,
for
ordering
our
speech
.
Solem
e
mundo
tollunt
,
qui
veritatem
e
verbis
.
Veritas
caeleste
mentis
pabulum
;
Truth
is
that
pure
,
heavenly
,
and
immortall
food
of
the
reasonable
soule
.
A
Liar
feeds
on
the
dust
,
as
the
Serpents
curse
,
nay
on
the
ashes
of
hell
.
He
that
is
in
an
error
,
is
in
an
ecclipse
or
mist
,
through
the
common
imbecillity
of
humane
understanding
:
but
he
that
is
in
a
way
of
lying
,
is
in
a
night
of
utter
darknesse
,
in
the
chaines
of
everlasting
darknesse
,
with
the
Devill
and
his
Angels
.
He
carries
his
Devill
and
lying
spirit
about
him
,
as
Ahabs
false
Prophets
,
and
his
Hell
within
him
in
his
conscience
.
Giving
the
lie
is
,
in
point
of
honour
,
an
offense
of
the
highest
nature
to
ingenuous
mindes
;
because
it
reproacheth
a
man
either
of
Athiesme
,
or
extreme
basenesse
and
cowardize
;
that
either
he
ownes
no
God
,
or
which
is
worse
,
feares
more
to
offend
man
than
God
,
not
daring
to
speak
the
truth
.
Synesius

{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
Truth
is
the
honour
and
noblenesse
of
words
,
and
it
argues
a
generous
minde
to
speak
it
:
though
alone
,
yet
truth
,
as
the
Sun
is
faire
;
though
displeasing
(
&
odium
parit
)
though
dangerous
,
&
grande
praesagium
mali
(
as
Lactant.
)
though
desperate
,
vitamque
impendere
vero
;
Nec
propter
vitam
vivendi
perdere
causam
:
It
is
folly
to
preferre
life
before
the
end
of
life
,
which
is
the
knowing
,
love
,
and
manifesting
of
truth
.
Speak
it
therefore
,
and
feare
not
.
Veritas
nihil
erubescit
,
nisi
solum
abscondi
:
Truth
is
ashamed
of
nothing
but
to
be
hidden
.
But
let
it
be
Verum
,
not
verisimile
,
not
probabile
,
but
certum
&
compertum
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
a
cleere
pregnant
and
well
assured
truth
;
not
what
is
taken
upon
flying
rumors
,
suspitions
,
or
envious
disaffections
.
For
to
affirme
as
certaine
,
what
is
dubious
,
and
only
probable
,
is
out
of
doubt
a
lie
.
Wee
must
not
,
like
Balaams
Asse
,
speak
what
wee
understand
not
,
nor
affirme
what
wee
know
not
.
Therefore
our
speech
must
not
be
rash
,
precipitant
,
tumultuary
,
and
passionate
;
but
calme
,
and
deliberate
,
issuing
from
a
heart
without
prejudice
,
partiality
,
or
injust
interests
;
as
silver
streames
from
a
chrystall
fountaine
,
flowing
without
any
mud
or
tincture
of
malice
,
or
oblique
and
sinister
designes
.
Our
mindes
also
must
be
prudent
,
steddy
,
and
reserved
,
not
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
credulous
,
like
soft
wax
taking
easily
any

.
That

Epicharmus
is

{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
.
Keep
alwayes
the
reines
and
curb
of
diffidence
and
sobriety
in
thy
minde
and
tongue
.
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
way
to
truth
hath
many
turnings
,
and
needs
a
capacious
minde
to
finde
out
the
right
.
Speak
not
what
the
shew
and
superficies
,
or
skin
presents
;
but
what
the
inside
,
substance
,
and
marrow
of
things
discover
to
our
judgements
.
There
is
veritas
entis
,
quae
est
mentis
quae
videtur
.
The
first
we
must
alwayes
seek
to
attaine
.
The
second
we
must
not
faile
to
affirme
:
else
it
is
a
lie
,
which
Lactant.
defines
,
mendacium
est
cum
linguae
animi
interpres
a
sensu
&
cogitatione
discordat
.
When
the
tongue
agrees
not
with
the
thoughts
.
S.
Austin
tels
us
:
&
non
vera
fideliter
,
&
vera
infideliter
dici
possunt
.
A
man
may
speak
what
is
truth
,
yet
falsly
;
and
what
is
false
,
yet
truly
:
such
a
one
is
not
mendax
,
but
temerarius
;
nec
tam
fallit
quam
fallitur
:
hee
is
not
a
lyar
,
but
a
rash
speaker
.
The
rule
is
,
Cum
cogitare
secundùm
veritatem
semper
non
possumus
,
at
loquamur
secundùm
cogitata
:
Our
first
happinesse
and
care
is
to
conforme
our
thoughts
to
the
truth
of
things
;
our
second
,
to
conforme
our
words
to
the
truth
of
our
thoughts
.
Multi
taedio
investigandae
veritatis
ad
proximos
divertunt
errores
;
Many
out
of
a
lazy
,
or
credulous
disposition
,
think
it
tedious
to
search
out
the
way
of
truth
,
and
so
turne
to
the
next
and
easiest
path
of
error
and
probabilities
:
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
as
Thucidides
speaks
;
What
wee
know
uncertainly
,
speak
not
as
certaine
:
what
wee
know
assuredly
,
speak
not
as
dubious
,
and
with
suspence
,
and
by
halfes
.
For
,
as
wee
must
speak
truth
only
;
so
the
whole
truth
,
when
expected
and
required
.
Quantum
supprimitur
quaesitae
veritatis
,
supplet
mendacium
;
As
much
as
wee
defalk
,
or
smother
,
of
an
inquired
Truth
,
which
wee
pretend
fully
to
discover
,
wee
make
up
by
a
tacit
Lye
;
Which
is
an
interpretative
denyall
of
Truth
.
When
thou
knowest
and
believest
a
truth
,
in
ordinary
converse
,
it
is
enough
to
speak
it
;
no
more
is
required
of
thee
.
Therefore
not
sweare
the
truth
.
Truth
hath
native
strength
sufficient
,
and
needs
not
the
volleys
or
barricadoes
of
oaths
and
imprecations
.
Swearing
is
more
than
God
requires
,
or
truth
needs
,
or
ingenuous
mindes
will
exact
;
or
will
consist
with
thy
peace
and
a
good
conscience
.
Let
your
yea
,
be
yea
,
and
your
nay
,
nay
;
what
is
more
than
these
is
sinne
:
That
is
the
simplicity
and
plainnesse
of
our
Saviours
prescripts
,
and
bounds
of
speaking
,
even
Truth
it selfe
.
Sweare
not
at
all
;
no
not
to
the
truth
,
in
ordinary
and
familiar
converse
,
except
in
weighty
matters
of
great
concernment
in
private
,
or
in
publike
and
judiciary
attestations
,
when
called
to
it
.
Ne
jurandi
facilitate
in
perjurium
prolabamur
,
praeceptum
est
,
ne
juremus
omnino
;
Hee
is
in
the
confines
and
next
step
to
false-swearing
,
and
perjury
,
who
accustomes
himselfe
to
sweare
,
though
truly
,
in
triviall
matters
.
Bono
viro
constans
vita
loco
juramenti
est
;
The
credit
and
faithfulnesse
of
an
honest
man
,
hath
the
force
of
an
oath
.
Lyars
only
neede
to
sweare
,
and
for
the
most
part
doe
;
whose
vanity
or
falsity
hath
bred
them
this
just
unhappinesse
,
that
when
they
speak
the
truth
,
they
think
they
shall
not
be
believed
,
unlesse
they
sweare
it
:
Though
hee
that
deserves
to
bee
disbelieved
in
his
truth
speaking
,
merits
not
beliefe
,
though
he
sweare
;
For
,
if
hee
feare
nor
a
lye
,
hee
will
not
an
oath
.
This
customary
swearing
is
not
more
vaine
and
needlesse
,
than
a
spreading
and
epidemicall
evill
,
such
as
the
Land
mournes
under
;
being
growne
to
that
which
Salvian
complaines
of
,
in
his
time
;
Non
criminis
,
sed
sermonis
genus
per
Deum
,
per
Christum
jurare
,
consuetudine
jurandi
videtur
:
Swearing
seemes
to
most
,
not
a
hainous
and
weighty
sin
,
but
a
formality
and
complement
of
speech
,
through
the
custome
and
commonnesse
of
swearing
.
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
;
Truth
is
of
it selfe
cleere
enough
,
and
needs
not
the
vehemence
and
asseveration
of
an
oath
:
Which
renders
it
more
suspected
,
and
the
hearer
more
diffident
,
when
he
sees
one
fears
not
an
oath
,
nor
makes
conscience
of
vaine
swearing
,
which
is
a
sin
as
well
as
lying
.
As
wee
need
but
speak
it
,
so
speak
it
plainly
and
cleerly
.
Truth
,
like
the
Sun
,
joyes
most
in
it selfe
;
it
s
owne
opennesse
,
simplicity
and
cleerenesse
:
as
wee
ought
not
to
sweare
it
,
so
wee
must
not
with
multitude
of
words
clog
and
cumber
it
;
studying
rather
to
cloud
and
involve
it
,
than
to
cleere
and
explaine
it
,
which
is
the
end
of
speech
.
The
contrary
is
but
the
cunning
and
artifice
of
many
,
who
,
though
they
dare
not
(
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
)
flatly
,
and
with
open
forehead
fight
against
Truth
,
yet
with
their
(
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
as
Socrates
speaks
)
fetches
,
dresses
,
ambages
,
circles
,
labarynths
,
perplexed
and
purposely
intricate
termes
and
discourses
,
they
obliquely
fight
against
the
Truth
with
its
owne
armes
,
Eloquence
:
studying
to
confound
and
lose
the
capacities
of
simpler
minds
,
by
using
a
sea
of
words
to
a
drop
of
truth
.
Such
tongues
and
men
,
like
Ignes
fatui
,
intend
not
to
give
light
to
a
matter
,
but
only
to
amuse
and
lead
out
of
the
right
way
,
ignorant
and
well
meaning
minds
:
Which
is
indeed
but
a
more
subtill
,
fine
,
and
sophisticall
way
of
lying
:
An
injury
of
justice
and
truth
with
applause
and
ostentation
;
which
they
hope
to
steale
away
,
in
that
mist
and
obscurity
of
words
,
which
by
their
voluble
and
jugling
tongues
they
cast
upon
them
.
The
practice
and
fault
not
so
much
of
private
men
,
as
of
those
Tertullusses
,
many
publike
Orators
;
whose
profession
cals
them
to
the
barre
,
and
pleas
,
to
be
Vindices
veritatis
,
Advocates
of
truth
and
justice
;
whose
unhappy
tongues
,
and
pernicious
eloquence
,
oft
times
so
darken
and
entangle
truth
and
a
just
cause
,
which
they
know
to
be
such
,
that
they
gaine
it
with
as
much
injustice
as
eloquence
;
whose
mercenary
and
venall
soules
and
tongues
,
count
their
greatest
fee
and
reward
to
come
from
the
purses
of
their
clyents
,
not
from
the
conscience
of
asserting
a
truth
,
and
vindicating
a
just
cause
.
Certainly
,
it
had
been
a
blessing
to
these
men
,
to
have
been
dumbe
;
better
not
speak
at
all
,
than
not
the
truth
;
or
with
applause
and
vaine
glory
,
to
speak
nothing
but
specious
and
plausible
lies
.
These
are
not
Pleaders
,
but
Seducers
;
as
Bernard
,
Bonorum
ingeniorum
insignis
est
indoles
in
verbis
verum
amare
,
non
verba
:
It
argues
a
minde
not
lesse
ingenuous
than
pious
,
to
make
words
subservient
to
truth
;
not
to
subdue
and
captivate
truth
to
words
:
To
count
the
clearing
and
prevailing
of
truth
the
noblest
reward
of
speaking
,
not
to
make
truth
the
booty
and
prey
of
speech
.
Veritas
saepe
offuscatur
eloquentia
:
That
power
and
prevalency
of
speaking
that
some
men
have
,
should
be
as
bellowes
▪
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
to
blow
up
,
and
resuscitate
to
a
flame
and
splendor
,
the
sparks
of
an
obscured
truth
;
not
to
damp
and
oppresse
them
,
by
casting
the
ashes
and
soot
of
dry
and
empty
words
upon
them
.
This
then
is
our
common
duty
,
to
speak
the
truth
;
a
knowne
,
at
least
a
beleeved
truth
,
freely
and
sully
,
without
feare
or
partiality
:
Simply
and
nakedly
,
without
swearing
and
imprecations
:
Candidly
and
ingenuously
without
artifice
or
studied
obscurity
.

Who

Every

No

Not

Mendacium

A
lyar
is
alwayes
a

;
for
he
sels
the
truth
and
his
soule
into
the
bargaine
,
when
the
whole
world
cannot
countervaile
either
of
them
.
Not
for
his

which
is
as
his

soule
:
Nemo

,
nisi

Hee

that
will
falsifie

.
Magis

Maxime
:
Hee
that

false

,
cannot

;
as
Constantine

Great
said
.
That
friend
that
will
bee
lost
by
truth
speaking
,
or
not
lying
,
is
not
worth
the
keeping
.
Hee
values
his

far
too
deare
,
that
will
have
mee
purchase
it
with
the
waste
of

conscience
,
and
hazard

the
love

and
losse
of

.
Not

Our

God
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}

we

to

which
are
infinitely

Not
for
the
Magistrate
,
or
his
Prince
:
A
good
Prince
will
not
require

;
an
evill
doth
not
deserve
that
a

injure
his

by
rebelling
against
the
most

whose
Kingdome

Not

soules
true

Not

A

,
no
more
than
water
enflame
fire
,
or
darknesse
illustrate
light
,
or
hell
promote
heaven
.
It
is
a
lame
religion
,
or
a
halting
heart
at
least
,
which
professeth
it
so
,
as
to
stand
in
need
of
the
crutches
of
lying
and
equivocation
.
Not
for
God
himselfe
,
and
his
glory
;
Whereof
hee
is
so
vigilant
and
powerfull
a
maintainer
;
that
hee
needs
not
the
Devils
ayde
.
Will
yee
accept
the
person
of
the
Almighty
,
or
lye
for
him
?
Doe
you
think
to
serve
him
by
sinning
against
him
,
or
please
him
by
offering
an
abomination
?
This
is
as
if
one
would
pretend
to
secure
a
Prince
by
treason
;
or
defend
him
by
striking
at
him
:
For
every
lyar
doth
strike
at
the
face
of
God
,
which
is
,
Truth
;
by
which
hee
appeares
to
us
,
and
is
seene
by
us
.
Nay
not
for
Truth
it selfe
;
which
cannot
be
strengthened
,
but
enfeebled
and
hindered
by
the
addition
of
a
lye
:
as
a
strong
and
sound
arme
or
leg
,
by
needlesse
splinters
and
bands
:
or
wholesome
meat
,
by
mixture
and
infusion
of
poyson
.
Mendaciorum
natura
est
,
ut
cohaerere
non
possunt
;
Lies
cannot
easily
bee
so
glued
or
sodered
together
,
but
their
flawes
and
gapings
will
bee
detected
:
much
lesse
Truth
and
Lies
;
which
are
more
heterogeneall
,
than
iron
and
clay
:
old
bottles
and
new
wine
:
a
new
piece
and
an
old
garment
.
What
agreement
hath
light
and
darknesse
,
God
and
Beliall
?
So
that
it
is
every
mans
duty
,
in
all
the
course
and
turnings
of
life
,
to
steere
his
speech
by
the
Compasse
of
Truth
;
which
by
a
heavenly
sympathy
,
tends
it selfe
,
and
must
alwayes
carry
us
to
that
Cynosure
,
the
first
and
immoveable
Pole
of
Truth
,
which
is
in
God
.
Lying
and
falsity
is
the
rich
and
Noble
mans
shame
and
dishonour
:
Truth
and
veracity
is
the
meanest
mans
riches
and
glory
.
The
greatnesse
of
the
one
will
not
beare
him
out
in
lying
;
nor
the
necessity
of
the
other
excuse
him
.
Veritas
animae
sponsa
:
Every
reasonable
creature
should
bee
affianced
and
wedded
to
truth
,
by
so
firme
and
indissoluble
a
band
,
as
will
suffer
no
estrangement
,
much
lesse
divorce
.
It
is
the
adultery
of
the
soule
to
embrace
an
error
;
and
of
the
lips
to
speak
a
lie
.
Every
man
must
speak
truth
:
So
much
as
wee
lie
,
wee
are
not
men
,
that
is
,
the
sons
of
God
and
Truth
;
but
devils
,
the
children
of
him
,
who
is
the
father
of
lies
and
liars
.

To
whom
?
To
his
Neighbour
.
But
who
is
my
Neighbour
?
Whomsoever
the
affaires
of
life
,
and
civill
conversation
doe
joyne
us
unto
.
Indeed
wee
are
all
,
Proximi
naturâ
,
neere
Neighbours
by
the
proximity
of
common
nature
,
of
the
same
stock
and
extraction
.
More
neerly
wee
are
Neighbours
,
by
the
consent
and
fruition
of
the
same
Lawes
,
Countrey
,
Government
,
Common-wealth
and
publike
good
.
Many
are
neighbours
by
a
vicinity
of
place
and
cohabitation
:
many
by
community
of
businesse
and
employment
.
As
wee
are
Christians
,
wee
are
all
Proximi
Religione
,
Fide
,
Numine
,
Redemptore
;
and
should
bee
affectu
&
charitate
,
wee
have
a
neerenesse
,
nay
samenesse
of
Religion
,
God
,
Saviour
,
Faith
,
Hope
,
And
affection
one
to
another
.
These
are
obligations
enough
of
neernesse
and
vicinity
to
tye
us
each
to
other
,
under
the
relation
of
Neighbours
;
when
the
least
of
them
may
not
bee
violated
with
a
lie
,
without
a
great
sin
and
unworthinesse
.
Wee
may
not
lie
to
a
stranger
,
an
enimy
,
a
heathen
,
a
Turk
,
an
Infidel
,
a
Lyar
,
nor
to
the
Devill
himselfe
;
wee
may
not
pay
him
in
his
owne
coyne
,
no
more
than
the
Archangel
Michael
durst
give
him
railing
accusation
;
though
hee
bee
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
a
rayler
,
and
false
accuser
.
Certainly
,
nothing
is
lesse
neighbourly
than
lying
:
for
what
trust
,
affiance
or
security
,
can
one
have
in
another
,
if
one
cannot
believe
what
another
promises
,
affirmes
,
or
denyes
.
Commune
vinculum
indigentia
;
The
common
tye
of
society
is
the
mutuall
want
of
each
other
;
and
,
The
common
enterchange
of
good
offices
is
in
the
way
of
truth-speaking
.
Else
every
neighbour
is
Insidiator
&
hostis
,
an
enimy
;
and
the
more
dangerous
;
because
neere
and
treacherous
.
Better
dwell
in
a
Wildernesse
than
such
a
vicinity
.
The
knot
and
summe
,
that
folds
up
all
the
second
Table
,
is
this
,
To
love
thy
neighbour
as
thy selfe
:
Now
,
nemo
libenter
dicipitur
.
Falli
nolunt
qui
fallere
amant
;
adeo
rationalis
natura
errorem
refugit
:
Every
man
hates
a
lye
in
another
,
so
much
as
he
loves
himselfe
.
No
man
loves
you
should
lye
to
him
,
though
himselfe
lies
never
so
frequently
;
no
more
than
a
thiefe
will
like
you
should
steale
from
himselfe
.
Doe
then
as
wee
would
bee
done
to
;
that
is
,
well
and
justly
:
And
,
speak
as
you
would
bee
spoken
to
;
that
is
,
Every
man
the
truth
to
his
neighbour
.
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
;
The
Standard
of
equity
and
vertue
God
hath
set
in
every
mans
owne
reason
and
conscience
to
measure
by
it
to
others
,
so
as
hee
would
they
should
mete
to
him
.
If
but
this
one
branch
of
it
,
(
in
truth
speaking
)
were
conscientiously
observed
,
wee
should
not
have
so
many
contentions
,
which
call
for
publike
examination
and
execution
of
truth
;
for
lying
breeds
injuries
.
Hee
that
feares
not
to
offend
God
by
lying
,
will
not
feare
to
offend
man
by
defrauding
:
whence
spring
so
many
suits
and
quarrels
.
Every
man
,
though
hee
cannot
judge
what
is
aequum
,
just
,
in
mine
,
and
thine
;
yet
hee
may
,
of
what
is
verum
,
in
regard
of
his
owne
thoughts
;
which
needs
no
other
Court
,
Witnesse
or
Judge
,
than
his
owne
conscience
,
for
the
speaking
of
it
.
Neither
private
nor
publike
good
can
flourish
,
if
this
commerce
of
Truth-speaking
to
our
neighbour
faile
and
decay
.
Which
if
in
daily
and
domestick
converse
it
must
bee
maintained
;
how
much
more
in
publike
attestations
,
when
by
word
or
oath
,
wee
are
called
forth
as
Witnesses
or
Iurors
to
speak
the
truth
,
not
only
to
our
neighbour
,
but
to
the
face
of
our
Countrey
;
to
our
Prince
;
to
the
law
;
to
justice
it selfe
;
and
in
a
high
degree
to
the
glory
of
God
?
as
Ioshua
perswades
Achan
to
give
glory
to
God
,
by
telling
the
truth
:
by
which
the
execution
of
the
judgement
of
Truth
and
Peace
may
be
promoted
;
and
the
common
good
advanced
by
a
just
punishment
of
the
wicked
,
and
absolving
of
the
innocent
.
Publike
lies
are
impudent
and
enormous
lies
:
when
death
and
life
,
justice
and
injustice
are
in
the
power
of
the
tongue
:
But
a
lie
upon
oath
,
is
beyond
expression
abominable
to
God
and
man
.
In
this
if
in
any
sin
men
exceed
the
devils
;
whom
wee
read
of
,
notorious
for
lying
,
but
not
for
perjury
;
as
never
having
the
honour
to
bee
called
to
witnesse
a
truth
,
with
the
invocation
of
the
Name
and
Majesty
of
God
.
Perjurium
est
mendacium
sacrilegum
;
That
's
the
definition
of
perjury
;
it
is
a
sacrilegious
lie
:
Which
besides
the
falsity
,
seeks
to
rob
his
neighbour
of
his
right
and
innocency
;
the
law
and
justice
of
a
due
debt
of
punishment
,
which
every
malefactor
owes
:
robs
the
King
,
Countrey
,
and
Common-weale
of
safety
,
and
God
of
his
glory
;
who
is
justified
in
his
providence
,
when
sin
is
detected
,
condemned
and
punished
.
A
sin
out
of
measure
sinfull
:
while
a
man
,
openly
,
deliberately
,
solemnely
,
upon
the
word
of
God
,
pretends
to
call
God
to
witnesse
of
his
truth
speaking
,
when
hee
meanes
nothing
lesse
.
St.
Augustine
tels
us
,
It
is
a
lesse
sin
to
sweare
by
a
false
God
,
truly
;
than
by
the
true
God
,
falsly
:
Hee
is
neerer
piety
,
who
ownes
and
feares
a
false
God
;
than
hee
that
denyes
the
only
true
,
and
so
all
Gods
:
yet
hee
that
denyes
the
true
God
,
is
lesse
wicked
than
hee
that
despiseth
and
blasphemeth
him
;
as
a
perjured
person
doth
,
while
hee
endeavours
so
much
as
lies
in
him
,
to
make
the
true
God
,
his
omniscience
and
power
,
an
abettor
and
maintainer
of
his
lye
and
falsity
.
Quantò
magis
sanctum
est
per
quod
juratur
,
tantò
magis
poenale
perjurium
.
So
that
,
as
Truth
speaking
is
required
of
every
man
to
his
neighbour
in
private
;
so
much
more
in
publike
speaking
;
and
most
of
all
in
solemne
and
publike
swearing
before
the
Magistrate
:
Where
one
false
witnesse
and
false
swearer
may
so
plunder
a
truth
,
and
snarle
a
cause
,
that
it
will
bee
hard
for
the
Judge
to
finde
the
true
method
to
unwinde
it
.
The
truth
and
religion
of
an
Oath
is
then
fulfilled
,
when
he
that
is
lawfully
called
to
sweare
,
doth
so
swear
,
as
is
not
only
agreeable
to
his
owne
knowledge
,
without
equivocation
or
reservation
,
and
to
the
forme
of
words
in
which
the
Oath
is
administred
;
but
also
to
the
meaning
and
purpose
of
the
Magistrate
that
requires
him
to
sweare
,
so
farre
as
hee
doth
conceive
it
.
Which
is
S.
Augustines
determination
,
in
his
Epist.
224.
But
I
may
not
insist
on
this
theame
,
of
Swearing
.
I
have
done
with
the
first
part
of
the
duty
,
Veracity
;
so
farre
as
concernes
all
men
in
a
private
,
or
publike
way
,
so
as
may
further
the
execution
of
truth
and
peace
in
the
gates
;
to
which
wee
are
in
a
good
forwardnesse
,
if
the
first
be
learned
and
practised
.
2.
The
Magistrates
duty
in
speciall
;
Execute
the
judgement
of
Truth
and
Peace
,
&c.
THis
,
although
it
bee
for
every
mans
good
,
yet
is
not
every
mans
worke
;
but
chosen
men
,
appointed
by
lawfull
authority
,
as
Moses
at
first
did
.
No
man
may
arrogate
this
vice-gerency
of
God
,
except
hee
bee
called
by
God
immediately
,
or
his
vice-gerent
Power
on
earth
.
That
was
Lucifer's
pride
,
forwardnesse
and
fall
,
that
hee
would
bee
similis
Altissimo
,
exalt
himselfe
.
Christ
refuseth
this
employment
,
because
hee
had
no
Commission
from
humane
power
:
Who
made
me
a
Iudge
?
Absalom's
ambition
was
not
growne
so
violent
,
and
past
all
bounds
of
modesty
and
respect
to
his
Parent
,
Prince
and
Countrey
,
as
to
assume
this
Office
to
himselfe
;
but
wisheth
,
O
that
I
were
made
a
Iudge
!
In
places
of
Ecclesiasticall
and
Civill
judicature
,
the
forwardest
are
seldome
the
fittest
.
Wise
,
grave
,
and
conscientious
men
,
who
best
understand
the
weight
and
charge
of
publike
execution
of
Justice
,
are
willing
enough
to
wave
it
,
as
seeing
no
lesse
burden
than
honour
in
it
.
But
Those
that
are
called
,
must
not
bee
wanting
to
God
,
the
King
,
their
Countrey
,
their
owne
Consciences
;
but
must
execute
,
&c.
1
It
must
be
Iudgement
.
Not
what
their
owne
or
others
passion
,
will
,
power
,
or
pleasure
suggests
;
but
what
Reason
sees
secundûm
normam
legis
,
agreeable
to
the
rule
of
the
Law
:
which
is
the
common
vote
,
and
consent
of
men
to
Reason
.
Iudex
non
jus
dat
,
sed
docet
;
Iudges
doe
not
give
Lawes
,
but
teach
,
declare
,
and
execute
them
.
Plato
saith
,
That
State
will
flourish
,
where
Magistrates
serve
the
Lawes
,
not
Lawes
the
turne
of
the
Magisrate
;
who
may
not
change
licet
into
libet
.
The
Magistrate
is
but
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
as
hee
sayes
of
Moses
,
the
mouth
by
which
the
Law
doth
breath
.
Iudicium
à
judicando
:
Iudgement
must
proceed
from
a
serious
and
deliberate
examining
of
matters
,
secundùm
allegata
&
probata
:
It
is
but
the
product
,
or
just
account
which
ariseth
from
the
witnesse
of
persons
,
presumption
of
circumstances
,
and
evidence
of
things
,
which
must
bee
weighed
in
the
ballance
of
Iustice
:
In
the
one
scale
whereof
,
is
laid
the
weight
of
the
Law
(
pondus
legis
;
)
in
the
other
(
pondus
causae
)
the
merit
of
the
case
,
fact
,
or
person
.
Though
Justice
must
bee
coeca
in
exequendo
,
impartially
blinde
in
executing
;
yet
it
must
bee
oculata
in
dijudicando
,
most
eagle-ey'd
,
and
acute-sighted
in
searching
out
a
matter
.
The
matter
I
knew
not
,
I
searched
out
.
As
I
heare
I
judge
;
and
my
judgement
is
just
.
Descendam
ut
videam
;
God
himselfe
,
who
is
omniscient
,
and
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
teacheth
us
by
his
slownesse
,
not
to
proceed
to
execution
till
wee
have
a
manifest
cognoisance
of
things
,
by
a
faire
,
free
,
and
calme
hearing
of
matters
on
both
sides
:
else
(
you
know
)
Though
a
Iudge
may
in
his
sentence
hit
on
the
right
,
yet
hee
merits
the
brand
of
an
unrighteous
Judge
:
Though
the
decision
be
just
,
yet
the
Decider
is
not
;
Doth
our
law
condemne
any
man
before
it
heare
him
?
There
must
bee
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
before
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
;
and
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
before
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
:
A
hearing
with
patience
and
judgement
,
before
the
executing
of
judgement
.
Judges
must
bee
scrutatores
,
indagatores
,
viri
decretorii
,
men
of
piercing
,
judicious
,
and
discerning
spirits
;
for
,
Veritas
in
profundo
,
dicti
,
facti
,
cordis
:
Truth
doth
seldome
swim
and
float
in
the
surface
;
but
is
hidden
and
sunke
in
the
bottome
of
the
words
,
actions
,
and
hearts
of
men
:
They
had
need
to
bee
urinatores
,
men
of
profound
and
diving
mindes
,
that
get
this
Pearle
.
Judge
not
according
to
the
appearance
,
but
judge
righteous
judgement
.
Truth
indeed
,
as
God
,
is
but
One
;
yet
falsities
and
pretentions
(
like
Penelopes
sutors
)
are
many
,
and
shape
themselves
into
diverse
formes
and
semblances
of
Truth
.
As
,
Omne
malum
fundatur
in
aliquo
bono
,
so
all
falsity
and
injustice
pretends
a
shew
of
truth
,
and
pleads
for
the
protection
of
justice
;
and
may
easily
impose
upon
a
carelesse
,
drowsie
,
and
oscitant
Judge
,
that
hath
not
his
understanding
and
conscience
vigilant
and
intentive
.
A
Judge
(
saith
Basil
)
must
have
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
:
needs
bee
a
Critick
,
of
sharp
and
exact
understanding
,
to
discerne
betweene
man
and
man
,
cause
and
cause
,
just
and
unjust
,
true
and
veresimilous
,
false
and
specious
,
betweene
the
confidence
of
accusing
or
denying
,
and
the
truth
or
falsity
of
the
accusation
;
betweene
the
modesty
or
rudenesse
of
the
defendant
,
and
the
innocency
of
his
cause
;
betweene
the
weight
of
the
complaint
,
and
the
malice
or
envie
of
the
plaintiffe
:
For
if
it
suffice
to
accuse
boldly
,
who
shall
be
innocent
?
If
to
deny
roundly
,
who
shall
be
guilty
?
—
Aspice
quantâ
Voce
negat
,
quanta
est
ficti
constantia
vultus
.
Oft
times
the
false
confidence
of
the
worser
part
,
and
that
,
(
prostitutae
vocis
venalis
audacia
,
as
Cyprian
,
)
hired
impudence
of
voluble
tongues
,
which
are
(
Lenones
injustitiae
)
the
Bauds
and
Pandars
to
injustice
,
are
ready
to
carry
it
with
a
brasen
forehead
,
and
Stentorian
voyce
.
On
the
other
side
,
Right
and
Innocence
is
ready
to
betray
it selfe
,
through
a
rudenesse
,
simplicity
and
diffidence
of
minde
,
carriage
and
expression
.
Quibus
honestior
conscientia
,
iis
plerumque
frons
imbecillior
:
Innocence
is
often
timorous
,
uneloquent
,
unexpert
in
termes
and
formalities
to
explaine
it selfe
,
when
Dishonesty
,
like
Tamar
,
is
oft
vailed
with
a
mask
of
faire
words
;
and
a
smooth
tongue
gilds
over
a
rotten
cause
.
A
Judge
,
here
,
must
bee
eyes
to
the
blinde
,
and
shew
himselfe
judicious
,
to
have
studied
men
as
well
as
bookes
;
and
like
Solomon
,
by
his
wisedome
,
represse
the
impudent
guiltinesse
of
the
one
part
,
and
relieve
the
diffident
innocence
of
the
other
.
Hee
must
not
bee
(
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
)
carried
away
with
a
streame
of
words
;
or
like
Pigmalion
preferre
an
adorned
statue
,
before
a
naked
,
yet
true
and
living
man
.
A
Judge
must
be
,
as
Christ
,
with
his
fan
in
his
hand
,
throughly
to
purge
his
floor
;
where
chaffe
and
wheat
,
injury
and
innocence
,
justice
and
injustice
,
truth
and
falsity
,
promiscuously
lye
before
him
:
His
just
clemency
must
gather
the
wheat
to
a
safety
;
his
just
severity
must
scatter
and
consume
the
chaffe
,
with
condigne
punishment
.
Iudgement
thus
carried
,
will
have
the
Two
qualities
in
the
Text
;
of
Truth
and
Peace
.
1
Of
Truth
:
that
is
,
a
True
and
just
Judgement
;
For
Truth
and
Justice
are
equivalent
,
and
inseparably
twisted
together
,
in
foro
,
in
Courts
and
decisions
of
right
.
What
is
false
must
needs
bee
unjust
;
what
is
just
must
bee
true
.
Truth
is
the
foundation
of
Equity
.
Truth
in
Iudgement
,
is
,
The
conformity
or
agreement
of
the
sentence
and
decision
with
the
minde
of
the
Law
,
understood
by
the
Iudge
:
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
.
The
intent
of
the
Law
is
,
Suum
cuique
tribuere
;
a
Iudge
must
faithfully
assigne
to
every
one
that
portion
which
the
Law
doth
give
them
,
in
the
true
and
literall
sense
and
meaning
of
it
,
without
warping
or
straining
the
words
by
witty
conceits
,
and
curiosity
of
interpretation
,
beyond
the
intent
of
the
Law
,
or
analogy
of
Justice
,
which
is
,
Reason
:
neither
girding
too
strait
by
rigour
,
nor
slackning
too
loosly
by
indulgence
,
the
words
,
which
are
but
(
vestitus
legis
)
the
clothing
of
the
Law
.
Pessima
tyrannis
lex
in
equuleo
:
Lawes
by
the
tyranny
of
wit
,
may
be
so
rack'd
and
tortured
,
to
such
forced
constructions
,
that
they
may
seeme
to
speak
that
which
they
never
intended
.
Obscure
and
ambiguous
Lawes
are
the
snares
of
a
people
;
and
the
dens
or
refuge
of
tyranny
;
like
Ancipites
gladii
,
two-edged
swords
,
that
cut
on
both
sides
;
having
no
back
whereon
Innocence
may
safely
rely
.
Therefore
Enacters
of
Lawes
have
endeavoured
in
plaine
and
perspicuous
words
,
to
set
downe
their
meaning
;
according
to
which
,
Iudgement
must
be
executed
,
if
it
be
true
Judgement
.
The
highest
honour
and
most
soveraigne
employment
,
and
neerest
to
the
supreame
glory
and
majesty
of
God
(
the
great
King
and
universall
Iudge
of
the
world
)
is
this
,
to
give
true
Iudgement
;
to
search
,
finde
,
declare
,
vindicate
Truth
;
though
darkned
,
oppressed
,
prejudiced
with
injuries
and
calumnies
:
though
prescribed
,
and
proscribed
by
power
,
will
,
time
and
custome
.
Nullum
tempus
satis
longum
est
,
quod
possit
aut
debeat
errori
patrocinari
,
&
injustitiae
;
No
might
,
should
bee
,
and
no
time
or
usage
is
sufficient
to
patronize
falsity
and
injustice
against
Truth
and
equity
;
which
out
of
doubt
are
most
ancient
,
and
should
bee
most
prevalent
:
for
falsity
and
injury
presuppose
them
first
,
and
are
but
the
superstructure
,
a
kinde
of
mosse
and
accrescency
to
them
.
For
this
end
(
saith
our
blessed
Saviour
)
was
I
born
;
to
this
end
came
I
into
the
world
,
that
I
should
beare
witnesse
of
the
Truth
.
I
can
doe
nothing
against
the
Truth
.
To
this
end
,
Judges
have
reason
,
learning
,
experience
,
conscience
,
publike
authority
and
trust
from
the
King
and
Countrey
,
that
their
judgement
may
bee
true
and
just
;
not
false
and
unjust
;
condemning
the
righteous
,
or
absolving
the
wicked
;
both
which
are
an
abomination
to
God
.
It
is
the
prerogative
of
divine
and
omnipotent
mercy
,
to
justifie
an
unrighteous
person
;
yet
still
with
the
safety
of
truth
,
and
integrity
of
justice
:
for
hee
doth
it
not
sine
interventu
mortis
&
meriti
Christi
.
God
so
loved
mercy
,
that
hee
would
magnifie
it
in
justifying
and
saving
of
sinners
;
yet
so
loves
truth
and
justice
,
that
hee
would
not
doe
it
without
the
death
of
his
Son
,
that
just
One
,
to
satisfie
his
justice
:
That
so
hee
might
with
infinite
Mercy
and
Justice
apply
his
righteousnesse
,
to
justifie
the
unrighteous
.
By
this
meanes
,
Righteousnesse
and
Peace
kisse
each
other
:
Your
Judgement
will
bee
not
only
just
and
true
;
but
a
Iudgement
of
Peace
,
the
second
quality
required
in
the
Text
.
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
;
Peace
is
the
daughter
of
true
Judgement
:
Truth
and
justice
the
mother
and
nurse
of
Peace
.
The
God
of
truth
and
justice
is
the
Father
of
order
and
peace
;
The
Devill
and
father
of
lies
is
the
autor
and
fautor
of
disorder
and
confusion
.
It
was
not
the
true
mother
that
required
the
division
of
the
childe
;
nor
is
it
true
and
upright
judgement
that
dissolveth
peace
.
1
It
must
be
judgement
of
Private
Peace
,
betweene
a
man
and
his
neighbour
;
which
can
never
be
maintained
,
except
each
party
by
the
light
of
the
Law
,
cleerely
sees
the
truth
of
the
judgement
,
for
,
or
against
them
.
Endlesse
and
interminate
suits
and
dissentions
(
like
Hydra's
heads
)
must
needs
grow
up
,
where
the
seeds
of
falsity
and
injustice
are
sowne
in
Judgement
.
Of
this
,
great
care
must
bee
had
,
that
,
though
men
lose
their
Cause
,
yet
they
may
not
lose
their
Peace
and
charity
.
A
man
makes
an
ill
bargaine
,
that
gaines
his
Processe
,
and
loseth
the
love
and
good-wil
of
his
neighbour
;
which
is
the
greatest
Dammages
.
Proximorum
odia
sunt
acerbissima
.
Wine
makes
the
sowrest
vinegar
:
The
quarrels
of
neighbours
and
brethren
,
set
their
hearts
at
the
greatest
distance
and
defiance
.
2
Where
the
coales
of
private
dissentions
are
scattered
in
every
corner
,
the
whole
house
will
soone
bee
on
fire
;
and
Publike
Peace
cannot
long
continue
:
For
where
there
are
great
divisions
of
hearts
,
and
Private
grievances
arise
like
swellings
,
and
distemper
of
parts
,
to
affect
the
whole
body
with
the
feaver
of
discontent
,
what
can
be
expected
but
Publike
mutinies
and
combustions
?
Lex
est
corporis
politici
nervus
:
The
great
bodies
of
States
must
needs
bee
paralitick
,
and
vehemently
shaken
,
if
not
dissolved
,
when
the
sinewes
of
justice
faile
.
An
unjust
Judge
,
like
a
Comet
,
portends
warres
and
commotions
;
and
scatters
so
malignant
an
influence
to
mens
mindes
,
that
they
had
rather
venture
the
injustice
of
warre
,
than
suffer
the
injustice
of
peace
.
This
Principle
is
in
most
mens
mindes
,
Pax
est
omni
bello
tristior
,
quae
justitiae
&
veritatis
ruinâ
constat
;
That
peace
is
more
deplorable
than
warre
it selfe
,
which
only
maintaines
power
to
waste
and
oppresse
innocence
and
truth
.
Isidore
Pelusiot
tels
us
truly
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
;
It
is
but
the
name
and
shadow
of
a
false
and
lying
peace
,
where
is
not
true
justice
.
Iustitiae
debetur
,
quod
homo
homini
non
sit
lupus
.
It
is
true
judgement
only
that
can
secure
peace
,
and
hinder
men
from
degenerating
to
wolves
and
tygers
;
which
they
doe
,
when
by
injustice
some
are
exasperated
,
others
are
animated
to
sin
and
injurious
insolencies
.
One
untrue
and
unjust
judgement
,
like
the
winde
,
scatters
and
sheds
the
seeds
of
ill
weeds
and
manners
,
about
the
whole
field
;
which
should
,
by
truth
and
justice
,
have
beene
cut
up
by
the
roote
;
and
its
contagious
spreading
hindred
.
Besides
,
nothing
more
slackens
the
reins
of
government
,
and
the
stability
of
peace
,
which
is
upheld
by
the
reverent
awe
and
respect
which
the
people
and
subjects
give
to
the
Magistrate
,
than
when
by
injustice
and
unworthinesse
,
they
bring
their
persons
and
authority
under
contempt
and
dislike
;
that
they
seeme
to
them
not
as
Gods
but
Idols
,
which
have
eares
but
heare
not
,
eyes
but
see
not
,
mouths
but
speak
not
true
judgement
.
Against
such
Magistrates
,
people
are
prone
to
think
it
,
not
only
just
,
but
meritorious
to
rebell
.
The
Kings
strength
,
or
throne
loveth
judgement
,
and
by
righteousnesse
it
shall
bee
eshablished
with
abundance
of
peace
.
David
,
in
his
prayer
and
blessing
to
his
son
King
Solomon
,
joynes
these
two
;
Give
the
King
thy
judgements
,
O
Lord
,
and
thy
righteousnesse
to
the
Kings
Son
;
and
that
,
Hee
shall
rule
the
people
with
equity
,
and
the
poore
with
judgement
.
Then
the
Mountaines
(
subordinate
Magistrates
and
Judges
,
)
and
the
little
Hils
(
inferiour
Officers
,
)
shall
bring
peace
to
the
people
,
by
righteousnesse
.
Hee
must
bee
Melchisedec
,
King
of
righteousnesse
,
that
will
bee
Melchisalem
,
King
of
peace
.
3
There
is
a
third
Peace
,
that
results
from
the
judgement
of
Truth
,
as
the
crowne
and
greatest
reward
of
the
Iudge
;
That
is
,
the
inward
peace
and
serenity
of
his
owne
conscience
,
witnessing
to
him
,
that
,
as
hee
is
in
the
stead
of
God
,
so
hee
judgeth
as
God
would
judge
;
according
to
his
will
and
law
,
which
is
the
rule
of
Truth
and
Justice
,
and
the
way
of
peace
and
happinesse
.
This
Peace
is
so
pretious
to
a
good
man
,
that
hee
will
choose
to
lose
all
rather
than
this
,
which
is
the
soules
immediate
,
and
inward
enjoyment
of
it selfe
and
God
.
The
fruition
of
which
,
as
it
passeth
all
understanding
;
so
the
losse
of
it
passeth
all
the
skill
and
favour
of
the
world
to
repaire
or
recompence
it
.
An
Vnjust
Iudge
cannot
but
condemne
himselfe
.
—
Prima
est
haec
ultio
,
quod
se
Iudice
nemo
nocens
absolvitur
;
—
Hee
becomes
his
owne
Accuser
,
Witnesse
,
Judge
,
and
Executioner
.
For
,
where
Astraea
(
Justice
)
dwels
not
in
the
conscience
,
Nemesis
(
Revenge
)
will
.
Occultum
quatiente
animo
tortore
flagellum
:
His
soule
must
needs
be
filled
with
a
fearfull
expectation
of
vengeance
and
the
judgement
to
come
.
3
Execute
it
,
when
you
have
judiciously
considered
what
is
Truth
,
and
tending
to
Peace
.
Declare
it
,
pronounce
it
publikely
.
Magistratus
est
lex
loquens
.
Judges
are
ora
&
linguae
publicae
,
Plebis
,
Regis
,
Legis
,
Dei
;
the
publike
Oracles
to
declare
the
will
of
the
State
,
the
Law
,
the
King
,
and
God
.
To
what
purpose
is
finding
out
of
true
judgement
,
if
you
doe
not
,
dare
not
speake
out
?
or
,
speak
otherwise
than
you
judge
in
your selves
?
Procaciùs
peccant
,
qui
maturiùs
&
quasi
ex
consilio
:
Knowing
,
and
not
declaring
and
doing
justice
,
is
the
aggravation
of
injustice
.
It
is
a
calamitous
time
,
as
Hezekiah
said
,
When
children
are
come
to
the
birth
,
and
there
is
not
strength
to
bring
them
forth
.
There
must
not
bee
only
a
Conception
of
what
is
true
and
just
,
and
then
(
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
)
an
abortive
judgement
,
smothered
and
stifled
in
the
breast
of
the
Judge
,
by
silencing
or
suspending
the
sentence
;
nor
yet
must
it
bee
strangled
and
oppressed
unnaturally
,
(
as
the
Egyptian
Tyrant
did
the
Israelites
infants
)
after
it
is
pronounced
,
by
diverting
or
perverting
the
sentence
;
but
there
must
bee
an
execution
of
it
:
which
is
the
soule
and
life
of
Justice
,
and
gives
a
quickening
and
animation
to
the
Lawes
.
Law
(
as
our
learned
Hooker
tels
us
,
)
is
a
directive
rule
to
the
goodnesse
of
operation
;
both
in
nature
,
polity
,
and
religion
.
What
are
Lawes
in
your
books
or
brests
,
if
not
put
in
execution
?
The
not
executing
the
penalty
of
the
Lawes
upon
offenders
,
is
the
execution
of
the
Lawes
themselves
;
and
renders
them
cadaverosae
Leges
,
dead
and
breathlesse
carcases
.
It
is
the
breath
of
the
Iudge
,
in
a
right
and
powerfull
sentence
,
which
must
blast
the
wicked
and
unjust
;
and
revive
and
renew
the
face
and
force
of
the
Lawes
,
of
Justice
,
and
of
good
men
.
Potentia

asylum
,
Law
and
Justice
hath
its
last
recourse
to
Power
for
the
executing
.
Forcibly
,
as
Ioh
and
David
,
pulling
the
prey
out
of
the
teeth
of
the
lyon
,
and
breaking
the
jawes
of
the
oppressor
:
Restoring
the
oppressed
and
molested
to
his
liberty
,
right
,
and
quiet
:
Commanding
and
inflicting
condigne
punishment
on
the
purse
or
person
of
offenders
.
If
need
bee
,
and
the
publike
good
require
it
,
not
only
pruning
and
lopping
off
the
branches
and
armes
of
luxuriant
and
spreading
wickednesse
,
by
restraining
the
liberty
,
by
withdrawing
the
sap
and
nutriment
of
estate
and
meanes
;
but
cutting
off
those
noxious
weeds
and
thornes
from
the
land
of
the
living
;
and
utter
extirpation
of
those
that
are
Telluris
inutile
pondus
:
Why
cumber
they
the
ground
?
And
this
,
(
ne
pars
sincera
trabatur
)
not
with
more
justice
than
mercy
and
gentlenesse
;
lest
connivence
,
remissenesse
,
and
impunity
spread
the
contagion
to
parts
,
as
yet
found
and
untainted
.
Quid
enim
tam
iniquum
,
quàm
ut
desertori
boni
bene
sit
?
What
is
more
unjust
than
that
it
should
bee
well
with
him
,
who
hath
left
off
to
doe
well
?
What
more
just
than
that
evill
of
suffering
should
light
on
evill
doers
?
But
how
must
it
bee
executed
?
1
Couragiously
and
resolutely
:
Iethro
,
in
the
character
of
a
Judge
,
requires
this
in
the
first
place
,
That
hee
bee
a
man
of
Truth
and
Courage
;
That
feares
God
and
none
besides
:
Not
the
face
of
man
,
whose
breath
is
in
his
nostrils
.
The
feare
of
man
is
a
snare
.
Qui
fortis
non
est
facilè
ad
injustè
faciendum
vincitur
;
qui
justus
non
est
facilè
ad
imbecillitatem
cogitur
:
Iustice
and
fortitude
as
Twins
grow
together
.
A
weak
and
timorous
man
will
easily
bee
unjust
;
and
like
a
Kite
scared
from
the
prey
which
the
law
hath
justly
seised
on
.
A
just
&
generous
minded
Judge
,
will
no
more
remit
his
judgement
,
and
the
execution
of
it
,
where
the
Law
hath
laid
hold
on
a
malefactor
,
than
the
Lyon
which
the
Prophet
speaks
of
,
will
quit
his
prey
,
or
abase
himselfe
for
the
multitude
of
shepherds
gathered
against
him
.
For
this
would
bee
as
fatall
to
him
,
as
Ahabs
letting
Benhadad
goe
in
peace
:
or
the
Prophet
not
smiting
,
when
hee
was
commanded
by
the
word
of
the
Lord
.
The
blow
and
judgement
,
as
well
as
the
crime
and
offense
,
will
light
on
himselfe
;
for
hee
becomes
guilty
of
what
hee
leaves
unpunished
.
The
malefactor
escapes
,
lives
,
continues
to
sin
,
at
the
charge
and
hazard
of
the
Judges
soule
.
2
Freely
:
For
love
of
justice
,
truth
,
God
,
and
the
publike
good
.
Parum
est
justitiam
facere
nisi
&
diligas
.
The
motions
of
Justice
must
bee
like
the
Heavens
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
by
inward
principles
;
not
like
mils
and
mechanick
Engines
,
that
stir
not
,
but
by
force
of
winds
,
waters
,
and
weight
,
and
hands
;
by
hopes
,
promises
,
or
gifts
.
In
execution
of
justice
,
it
must
not
bee
as
in
scenes
of
masques
and
pageants
,
where
things
seeme
of
themselves
gently
to
slide
from
heaven
,
when
indeed
there
are
secret
devices
and
inventions
of
Art
,
that
violently
,
though
cunningly
,
move
them
.
The
light
of
the
Sun
,
the
liberty
of
heaven
,
the
day
and
ayre
should
not
bee
more
cheap
and
free
than
justice
.
Though
an
Advocate
may
sell
his
pleading
,
and
a
Counsellor
his
counsell
;
yet
a
Judge
may
not
the
execution
of
Iudgement
.
Justice
is
a
debt
they
owe
to
men
;
Hee
cannot
bee
just
that
must
bee
hired
to
pay
his
debts
.
A
purchased
sentence
,
though
just
,
is
unjustly
sold
.
Gifts
doe
blinde
the
eyes
of
the
wise
.
Hee
that
accustomes
himselfe
to
gratuities
for
a
just
sentence
,
will
soone
grow
so
dim-sighted
,
as
to
receive
bribes
in
an
unjust
cause
.
These
must
be
kept
off
by
all
wayes
;
directly
,
indirectly
;
nec
per
se
,
nec
per
alium
.
It
will
not
serve
the
turne
,
nor
satisfie
either
God
or
the
integrity
of
a
mans
owne
conscience
,
to
say
,
as
Adam
,
The
woman
thou
gavest
mee
;
or
the
son
,
or
servant
,
Hee
,
or
Shee
received
it
;
gave
it
mee
,
and
so
I
took
it
.
Nor
to
say
as
the
Woman
,
I
saw
the
offer
was
faire
to
the
eye
;
a
present
to
bee
desired
to
make
one
rich
,
(
I
am
sure
not
wise
)
and
so
I
took
it
:
No
,
that
cursed
Serpent
of
Covetousnesse
in
thy
owne
brest
,
beguiles
thee
:
The
devill
tempts
thee
with
All
these
I
will
give
thee
,
if
thou
wilt
fall
from
thy
integrity
in
judgement
;
which
God
requires
bee
neither
corrupted
by
indulgence
and
favour
,
as
Davids
to
Absolom
;
nor
prejudice
,
as
Davids
to
Mephibosheth
;
nor
hatred
,
as
the
Jewes
against
Christ
;
nor
feare
,
as
in
Pilate
;
nor
covetousnesse
and
popularity
,
as
in
Felix
,
who
failing
of
his
money
,
yet
to
doe
the
Iewes
a
pleasure
,
left
Paul
bound
.
Nay
▪
an
upright
Judge
may
not
feoffe
that
as
a
favour
,
which
is
indeed
but
justice
and
a
duty
:
nor
challenge
and
owne
the
thanks
for
a
happy
issue
,
which
indeed
belongs
to
the
law
and
equity
of
the
cause
.
Hee
doth
not
know
the
price
and
value
of
a
good
conscience
,
who
seeks
for
a
reward
beyond
that
of
doing
vertuously
.

As
the
beauty
and
influence
of
Heaven
,
and
light
of
the
Sun
equally
and
indifferently
fals
on
the
poore
and
rich
,
the
palace
and
cottage
,
the
great
and
meane
,
the
learned
and
ideots
;
without
preferring
one
,
or
disdaining
the
other
;
so
should
the
execution
of
true
Iudgement
.
Iudges
are
married
to
the
Law
,
to
Justice
,
and
to
the
Common-weale
;
and
must
forsake
father
,
mother
,
friends
,
and
all
relations
,
and
adhere
to
Justice
:
as
Levi
in
the
execution
of
justice
,
is
commended
,
that
hee
knew
not
father
,
or
brethren
,
or
kindred
.
The
Magistrate
must
bee
as
an
upright
bowl
,
that
hath
no
byas
;
as
a
true
dy
,
falling
square
,
what
hand
soever
casts
it
.
Not
warping
or
propending
any
way
;
but
as
a
straight
rule
,
or
plumb-line
,
indifferently
shewing
the
rectitude
or
obliquity
of
what
body
soever
it
is
applyed
to
.
To
have
respect
of
persons
is
not
good
:
(
i.
e.
)
it
is
very
bad
,
and
sordid
beyond
expression
;
so
much
debasing
the
soule
,
that
for
a
morsell
of
bread
such
a
man
will
transgresse
.
With
God
is
no
respect
of
persons
:
nor
should
bee
with
those
umbratiles
dii
,
shadowes
and
back-parts
of
God
:
who
in
Judicature
should
forget
they
are
men
,
and
remember
they
are
in
the
place
of
God
.
As
favour
must
not
,
so
nor
personall
offense
may
weigh
in
the
ballance
of
executing
true
judgement
.
No
particular
distaste
,
or
desire
of
revenge
,
may
soure
and
sharpen
the
execution
or
sentence
:
Hee
that
gladly
sacrificeth
a
malefactor
to
his
particular
revenge
and
hatred
,
under
or
with
the
name
of
publike
justice
,
may
bee
a
murtherer
while
hee
is
a
just
Iudge
;
while
hee
satisfies
his
own
revengefull
mind
together
with
the
Law
:
This
destroyes
the
sinner
,
but
he
the
man
and
his
neighbour
.

Speedily
:
Qui
tardè

,
non
vult
ut

velle
.
Judgement
must
be
executed
in
benigniore
parte
,
in
the
way
of
adjudication
and
restoring
to
right
,
of
compensation
of
wrongs
,
and
of
remuneration
of
merit
.
Demurs
and
procrastination
,
beyond
what
is
necessary
,
is
so
far
an
injustice
,
as
it
is
a
hinderance
;
and
so
great
,
that
often-times
the
Delay
countervailes
,
if
not
exceeds
the
benefit
of
the
judgement
.
St.
Bernards
counsell
to
Eugenius
is
good
,
and
would
bee
a
great
ease
to
subjects

Frustratorias

praecide

,
To
circumcise
the
superfluities
of
suits
and
pleas
,
and
cut
off
all
those
tedious
and
expensefull
attendances
of
persons
,
adjournments
of
causes
,
when
they
are
ripe
for
judgement
and
execution
.
Which
unnecessary
detentions
are
for
the
most
part
,
but
the
stratagems
and
windings
of
under-Officers
;
who
,
like
dishonest
Surgeons
,
will
not
cure
their
Patients
,
till
they
have
cured
their
Purses
;
though
with
the
others
molestation
and
torment
,
no
lesse
than
charge
and
expenses
.
Non

You
may
know
the
Leeches
are
full
,
when
they
let
goe
their
hold
.
But
a
noble
and
just
Iudge
,
that
loves
justice
for
it selfe
,
and
tenders
the
good
and
quiet
of
his
poore
countreym-en
,
will
make
a
short
work
of
it
,
and
hasten
judgement
,
that
hee
may
add
charity
to
equity
:
That
it
may
appeare
not
evicta
,
but
lata
sententia
;
a
Judgement
,
as
true
and
just
;
so
not
extorted
by
importunity
,
but
easily
obtained
by
the
merit
of
the
cause
.
5
Yet
leasurely
,
and
full
of
caution
should
the
execution
of
Judgement
bee
,
if
punitive
;
especially
capitall

Vltimo

There

Lastly

compassionately

Execute

such
as
cannot
justly

safely
admit
any

by

Nothing
is

than
for
any

much
more
the
gravity
of
a

,
to
jest
upon
,
and
make
himselfe
merry
with
poore
mens
misery
,
of
the
same
mold
and
mettall
with
himselfe
;
or
to
triumph
in
their
calamity
and
sufferings
,
by
scornfull
and
contumelious
language
:
Far
from

&c.
A
noble

ingenuous

discover

that

it

of

not

;
magis
officii
compulsus

,
quàm

as
St.
Bernard
adviseth
the
Earle
of
Theobald
.
It
is
all
the
solace
left
to
cast
and
condemned
creatures
,
to
see
,
their
sin
hath
not
yet
deprived
them
of
the
pitty
and
prayers
of
the
Judge
and
Court
,
though
it
hath
of
their

Peccata

In
your

.
WEe
have
seene
the
manner
of
the
Execution
;
but
where
must
this
be
done
?
In
your
gates
:
That
is
,
Those
places
that
are
appointed
for
publike
execution
of
justice
and
judgement
;
which
were
anciently
the
Gates
of
Cities
and
Townes
.
1
For
the
ease
and
convenience
of
the
people
;
who
might
follow
their
actions
and
suits
,
without
going
farre
out
of
the
way
of
their
other
affaires
.
2
To
shew
the
equality
and
indifferency
of
justice
,
from
which
none
was
excluded
,
Tros
Tyriusve
fuat
;
but
as
the
Gates
of
Cities
are
open
and
free
to
all
to
goe
in
and
out
,
so
was
the
course
of
Judgement
.
3
To
intimate
,
that
the
chiefest
strength
of
Cities
,
and
safety
of
States
,
doth
consist
in
the
due
execution
of
the
judgement
of
truth
and
peace
;
which
is
as
the
gates
and
barrs
:
the
strongest
batteries
against
sin
and
wickednesse
;
the
firmest
defense
for
virtue
and
peace
.
Take
away
the
free
execution
of
Justice
,
and
not
gates
of
brasse
,
nor
barrs
of
iron
will
hold
out
either
the
dissolution
of
manners
by
vitiousnesse
,
or
of
the
Common-wealth
by
dissentions
.
I
have
done
with
the
substance
and
matter
of
the
Charge
.
I
need
no
further
weight
to
Christian
minds
,
for
the
applying
of
what
concernes
you
joyntly
or
severally
,
than
the
authority
in
the
Text
,
which
enjoynes
these
duties
Dominante
stylo
,
in
a
soveraign
and
commanding
style
;
These
things
yee
shall
doe
.
It
is
the
will
and
word
of
God
.
Where
the
word
of
a
King
is
,
there
is
power
;
But
this
is
the
King
of
Kings
.
Higher
than
the
highest
.
Omne
sub
regno
graviore
regnum
est

Whose
Majesty
is
above
all
to
be
adored
,
whose
Law
and
will
to
be
observed
and
done
.
1
Because
most
wise
and
good
;
commanding
nothing
but
what
tends
to
his
owne
glory
and
our
happinesse
.
2
Most
precisely
and
immutably
just
,
and
not
to
bee
changed
or
swerved
in
his
will
.
3
Most
irresistibly
and
unavoydably
powerfull
,
in
executing
vengeance
on
them
that
obey
not
his
will
and
lawes
.
4
Hee
is
most
graciously
bountifull
,
in
rewarding
those
that
take
heed
to
doe
them
.
It
is
their
life
,
peace
and
happinesse
,
both
here
and
hereafter
.
On
the
otherside
,
The
not
doing
them
is
a
mans
undoing
.
There
is
no
dispensing
with
the
duties
,
or
no
avoyding
of
the
punishment
.
These
things
yee
must
doe
;
cheerfully
,
resolutely
,
zealously
,
constantly
,
necessarily
:
Nihil
magis
justum
,
gratum
,
necessarium
.
The
omission
of
them
will
bee
unexcusable
to
you
,
since
the
Law
and
Charge
is
so
plaine
,
so
short
,
so
just
and
reasonable
;
no
man
can
plead
ignorance
,
mistake
,
forgetfulnesse
,
or
rigour
and
hardnesse
,
since
every
mans
reason
dictates
it
to
him
;
every
mans
heart
desires
it
in
his
owne
particular
cause
and
interest
;
and
every
mans
conscience
will
condemne
him
,
if
hee
doe
them
not
to
others
in
his
degree
and
calling
.

Speak
every
man
the
truth
to
his
neighbour
,
in
private
converse
;
In
publike
,
witnessing
,
swearing
and
pleading
,
so
farre
as
you
are
called
to
it
.
It
is
indiscretion
and
folly
to
let
all
truth
thou
knowest
flow
from
thy
tongue
,
when
it
is
not
expected
or
required
.
But
where
it
is
so
,
and
thou
pretendest
to
reveale
the
truth
,
it
is
damnable
not
to
doe
it
,
and
to
lie
against
the
truth
.
Lyars
are
put
among
the
damned
crew
.
By
thy
words
thou
shalt
be
justified
or
condemned
.
Account
must
be
given
for
idle
words
;
how
much
more
for
impious
,
lying
and
pernicious
?
Let
then
thy
speech
bee
,
neither
rash
and
unadvised
,
nor
profuse
and
overflowing
:
from
inconsiderate
speaking
wee
come
to
much
,
from
much
to
vaine
,
from
vaine
to
false
,
from
false-speaking
to
false-swearing
;
Exundans

The

hath
a

lubricity
,
and
is
set
in
a
moist

place
,
and
needs
the
greater
staydnesse
of

to

For
You
(
Honourable
and
Reverend
)
whom
God
and
the
King
command
to
execute
the
Judgement
of
Truth
and
Peace
,
I
perswade
my selfe
,
your
piety
and
conscience
answers
with
the
Psalmist
,
It
is
required
of
us
to
doe
thy
will
O
God
:
wee
are
content
to
doe
it
.
Else
what
need
all
this
state
,
solemnity
,
expense
and
trouble
?
like
Iezebels
fast
,
to
doe
injustice
?
to
decree
unrighteous
decrees
?
to
pervert
judgement
,
and
turne
away
the
cause
and
right
of
the
poore
and
innocent
?
I
know
your
wisedomes
and
piety
consider
,
and
need
not
to
bee
reminded
,
That
it
is
a
double
and
crying
injustice
which
is
committed
under
the
sacred
name
and
protection
of
justice
.
Vbi

,
&
inter

,
nec

Injustice
in
a
Judge
is
like
a
pestilent
feaver
,
which
seises
the
vitals
and
spirits
,
and
is
deadly
to
the
Common-weale
.
A
lye
in
judgement
,
is
a
loud
lye
;
hath
a
report
that
cals
to
heaven
for
vengeance
.
Besides
that
,
it
is
publicum
perjurii
exemplum
,
contrary
to
the
oath
of
integrity
which
is
taken
by
Judges
,
when
called
to
publike
judicature
.
A
Judge
is
,
and
should
bee
the
publike
Physitian
,
to

the
distempers
of

Peace

which

A

{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}

{non-Roman}

A

Industrious

Not
a

of

.
Farre
bee
it
from
you
and
us
,
That
the
Judges
circuiting
should
bee
like
Satans
round
,
who
goes
about
seeking
what
and
whom
hee
may
devoure
;
but
like
Samuels
course
,
or
the
Suns
constancy
,
which
goes
from
one
end
of
the
heaven
to
the
other
,
and
nothing
is
hid
from
the
benigne
light
,
heat
and
influence
of
it
:
Looking
upon
earthly
and
many
sordid
things
,
but
contracting
nothing
of
their
natures
and
qualities
.
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
A
Judge
and
Magistrate
must
bee
higher
in
his
minde
and
vertues
,
than
his
place
and
office
;
above
all
feare
,
love
,
hatred
,
flattery
,
passion
,
gain
,
preferment
:
One
that
esteemes
his
owne
conscience
,
and
Gods
spirit
there
witnessing
his
integrity
,
the
only
reward
worthy
the
discharge
of
so
great
and
honourable
a
trust
and
employment
.
Remember
I
beseech
you
,
as
I
know
you
doe
,
how
farre
Peace
depends
on
your
integrity
.
1
The
private
peace
betweene
neighbours
,
one
of
the
greatest
sweetners
of
this
present
life
.
2
The
publike
peace
,
wherein
you
are
highly
concerned
;
which
is
greatly
shaken
for
our
sins
,
and
needs
pious
,
prudent
,
and
faithfull
minds
,
as
well
as
valiant
hands
to
re-establish
it
.
3
The
inward
peace
of
your
owne
consciences
with
God
:
One
unjust
act
at
an
Assizes
or
Circuit
,
or
in
your
life
,
will
torment
more
than
all
the
profit
or
honour
can
content
you
;
and
like
an
unwholesome
and
undigested
morsell
,
will
corrupt
and
taint
all
the
comfort
of
your
other
good
parts
and
deeds
.
O
let
not
that
prove
true
by
your
meanes
,
that
hee
complaines
of
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
The
name
,
and
thought
,
and
desire
of
peace
is
every-where
,
the
endeavour
for
it
nowhere
.
Blessed
are
the
peace-makers
:
O
rob
not
your selves
and
us
of
so
great
and
pretious
a
blessing
.
Last
of
all
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
Remember
that
exact
,
and
unavoydable
,
and
unappealeable
Tribunall
of
the
just
Judge
of
the
whole
world
;
For
Hee
commeth
,
for
hee
commeth
to
judge
the
earth
righteously
,
and
the
nations
with
his
truth
.
Hee
will
try
all
things
(
as
the
Refiner
)
by
fire
:
Which
will
discover
and
make
legible
that
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
blinde
and
subtill
characters
of
mens
thoughts
and
actions
,
which
before
could
not
bee
read
or
perceived
.
A
good
and
wise
Judge
will
not
(
sciens
volens
)
wittingly
give
any
sentence
that
shall
then
bee
reversed
,
or
judge
any
judgement
that
need
to
bee
rejudged
;
much
lesse
,
deserve
to
bee
condemned
with
him
at
that
day

Iudicandum

,
qui
injustè
judicat
,
Hee
believes
not
hee
shall
bee
judged
,
who
executes
unrighteous
judgement
:
yet
his
very
injustice
is
a
strong
and
sure
argument
,
against
him
,
of
an
after
Iudgement
,
which
shall
,
which
must
repeale
his
injurious
sentence
,
and
punish
his
impious
practices
;
for
the
goodnesse
and
justice
of
God
and
his
providence
doe
require
this
.
Veniet

:
The
day
is
comming
,
when
not
astuta
verba
but
pura
corda
,
not
plena
marsupia
but
conscientiae
probae
valebunt
,
as
St.
Bernard
,
not
faire
words
but
honest
hearts
;
not
full
purses
,
but
upright
consciences
shall
prevaile
;
which
day
shall
rejudge
all
you
have
judged
,
and
judge
both
you
and
mee
and
us
all
,
and
all
wee
have
done
or
said
.
For
wee
must
every
man
give
account
of
himselfe
at
the
judgement
seat
of
God
.
For
which
Accounts
,
fit
and
prepare
us
O
Lord
by
thy
infinite
mercy
,
as
thou
wilt
raise
us
by
thy
infinite
power
;
that
we
may
appear
not
in
our
own
unrighteousnes
,
which
we
abhor
,
but
cloathed
and
accepted
in
the
righteousnes
of
Jesus
Christ
,
in
whom
wee
believe
;
who
is
our
Saviour
,
and
shall
bee
our
Judge
.
To

EPHES.

.
And
bee
renewed
in
the
spirit
of
your
mind
.
THere
is
in
our
nature
,
I
know
not
what
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
an
importunate
desire
after
,
and
delight
in
what-ever
is
presented
to
us
under
the
Notion
of
New
.
Whether
it
bee
out
of
the
restlesnesse
of
our
minds
,
and
their
infinite
capacity
;
or
out
of
the
emptinesse
and
insufficiency
of
all
things
under
the
Sun
,
which
rather
satiate
than
satisfie
:
which
keeps
our
soules
in
a
continuall
appetite
and
longing
,
still
expecting
to
finde
that
content
in
what
is
New
and
unexperienced
,
which
they
have
hitherto
failed
of
.
Thus
daily
deceiving
the
tediousnesse
of
our
life
,
(
which
for
the
main
is
but
the
Crambe
,
and
repetition
of
yesterday
)
by
the
sweetnesse
of
variety
,
and
a
taste
of
novelty
,
which
are
the
sauce
and
seasoning
of
all
things
wee
enjoy
.
—
New
fashions
,
New
cloaths
,
New
houses
,
New
Doctrines
,
New
opinions
,
New
Countrey
,
New
Teachers
:
Any
thing
New
;
though
,
as
our
Saviour
said
of
the
Wines
,
The
elder
bee
the
better
;
Omne
enim
antiquius
&
verius
&
melius
.
In
manners
and
Doctrines
,
for
the
most
part
,
it
holds
,
The
elder
is
the
better
and
truer
.
Yea
so
studious
are
wee
of
Newnesse
,
that
our
whole
life
is
but
a
repairing
and
continuall
renewing
of
what
through
age
and
infirmity
is
daily
decaying
in
us
;
seeking
in
vaine
to
blot
out
the
footsteps
of
old
age
,
and
with
weak
endeavours
to
row
against
the
streame
of
Time
,
which
silently
and
insensibly
carries
us
,
and
all
things
,
downward
to
the
Gulph
of
death
and
destruction
:
which
as
it
hath
involved
all
,
the
most
renowned
men
,
Cities
,
States
,
and
Monuments
,
(
ut
&
ipsae
periere
ruinae
)
that
the
very
ruines
are
now
ruined
;
so
will
it
shortly
swallow
up
us
,
and
all
that
wee
magnifie
and
esteeme
as
ours
.
Yet
there
is
one
thing
in
us
,
whose
ruines
,
though
they
oppresse
us
,
they
grieve
us
not
;
and
though
they
make
us
miserable
they
offend
not
;
These
are
the
Impairings
and
Decayes
of
our
best
and
Divinest
part
,
our
spirits
and
mindes
.
These
,
wee
are
patient
,
as
wee
grow
elder
,
they
should
grow
worser
;
and
though
they
are
pieces
built
for
eternity
,
yet
wee
suffer
them
,
as
much
as
in
us
lyes
,
to
lapse
and
fall
to
eternall
ruines
;
not
only
of
their
happinesse
,
but
of
their
very
Being
:
In
quantum
enim
mali
sumus
,
in
tantum
minus
sumus
,
The
more
wee
have
of
sin
,
the
lesse
wee
have
of
wel-Being
,
and
deserve
to
have
of
simple
Being
;
because
wee
frustrate
that
end
,
for
which
the
wise
and
best
Maker
gave
us
our
Being
:
And
by
sin
wee
goe
farther
from
the
Fountaine
of
our
Being
,
and
our
Happinesse
,
his
will
;
which
is
the
rule
of
Goodnesse
:
And
happinesse
is
nothing
else
but
a
perfection
of
Goodnesse
.
Yet
the
power
of
God
will
perpetuate
wicked
men
,
by
a
necessity
of
being
,
to
all
eternity
,
That
since
they
would
not
bee
the
Objects
of
his
renewing
Mercies
to
happinesse
,
They
should
be
the
Subjects
of
his
revenging
Justice
to
everlasting
miseries
.
These
ruines
and
decayes
then
,
which
of
all
are
most
considerable
,
because
most
dangerous
,
well
merit
our
survey
and
care
;
especially
if
wee
seriously
weigh
,
how
vast
the
decayes
are
,
how
short
the
time
is
allotted
for
this
work
,
being
magnae
mentis
&
molis
opus
,
a
great
designe
indeed
;
and
which
falls
not
under
the
compasse
of
low
,
narrow
,
and
smaller
spirits
;
but
requires
a
raised
,
enlarged
,
and
ennobled
minde
,
to
begin
,
to
persevere
,
and
to
perfect
it
.
Which
that
wee
may
doe
with
the
more
happy
successe
,
Let
us
look
to
this
Modell
of
the
blessed
Apostle
;
who
having
in
the
21.
and
22.
verses
cast
away
all
that
trash
,
and
rubbish
of
the
old
man
,
which
is
not
so
much
ruined
,
as
Ruine
it selfe
;
In
this
verse
layes
the
Foundation
of
this
stately
structure
,
whose
heigth
must
reach
to
Heaven
,
and
whose
paterne
is
the
Beauty
and
Image
of
that
first
,
perfect
,
and
divinest
mind
,
which
wee
call
God
.
Bee
renewed
in
the
spirit
of
your
mind
.
In
the
words
are
two
main
things
.
1.
The
Subject
of
our
worke
:
The
spirit
of
our
mind
.
2.
The
Nature
of
the
work
:
Renewing
.
Wee
will
seek
to
comprehend
them
both
under
these
foure
Heads
of
Discourse
.
1
What
is
this
Spirit
of
our
mind
,
and
how
worthy
Renewing
.
2
Wherein
it
is
Impaired
,
and
needs
Renewing
.
3
How
,
and
by
what
meanes
it
is
to
bee
renewed
.
4
The
Idea
,
or
Character
of
a
renewed
Mind
.
Lastly
,
Wee
will
conclude
so
,
as
by
Gods
Grace
may
make
the
deepest
Impressions
on
your
minds
;
and
at
once
incite
and
enable
you
to
so
serious
,
so
sacred
,
so
Christian
,
so
divine
,
so
necessary
a
work
.
The
first
thing
that
requires
your
Attention
is
the
Subject
,
The
Spirit
of
your
mind
.
What
it
is
.
Some
Interpreters
understand
,
that
holy
Spirit
which
is
in
the
mind
:
Thus
Oecumenius
,
Gorran
,
A
Lapide
,
and
others
:
as
if
it
were
,
Be
renewed
by
that
Spirit
of
God
which
dwels
and
walks
in
your
minds
.
But
this
seemes
to
force
the
words
.
Therefore
S.
Augustine
and
others
more
pertinently
thus
.
Though
the
words
be
two
,
yet
the
Subject
is
but
one
;
non
duas
res
intelligi
voluit
,
quasi
aliud
sit
mens
,
aliud
Spiritus
mentis
;
sed
quia
omnis
mens
Spiritus
est
,
non
autem
omnis
Spiritus
mens
est
,
ideo
dicere
voluit
,
Spiritu
mentis
,
i.
e.
in
Spiritu
qui
mens
vocatur
.
It
is
no
more
,
but
be
renewed
in
that
Spirit
which
is
your
Mind
.
This
sense
agrees
with
that
parallell
place
:
Be
yee
transformed
by
the
renewing
of
your
minds
.
Where
the
word
is
but
one
,
the
meaning
the
same
.
The
Acutenesse
of
some
put
this
difference
;
Mens
est
Spiritus
remissus
,
Spiritus
est
mens
intensa
,
The
Spirit
is
the
Mind
moved
,
the
Mind
is
the
Spirit
composed
.
Spiritus
est
mentis
impetus
,
That
the
Spirit
is
the
vigour
,
livelinesse
and
activity
of
the
Mind
;
by
which
it
is
stirred
up
,
applyed
to
,
and
exercised
about
its
Object
.
That
the
substance
of
the
Soule
is
as
the
Sun
,
the
Mind
as
the
Light
,
The
Spirit
as
the
Heat
.
But
these
may
seeme
niceties
,
beyond
the
Apostolicall
intent
,
which
by
the
most
and
best
is
conceived
to
aime
at
that
Princeps
Animae
facultas
,
The
highest
,
most
excellent
and
divinest
faculty
of
the
humane
Soule
;
which
Plato
calls
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
The
Flower
of
the
Soule
.
S.
Augustine
,
Vis
Animae
suprema
,
extendens
se
ad
Dei
contemplationem
,
honesta
à
turpibus
decernens
.
Which
wee
call
mens
,
the
Mind
à
metiendo
;
because
it
weighs
and
measures
all
things
.
Hyspulensis
,
quasi
eminens
,
because
it
is
the
most
eminent
faculty
in
man
,
by
which
wee
reach
the
most
excellent
objects
,
and
excell
all
other
creatures
.
As
the
Satyrist
comparing
beasts
with
men
,
Principio

illis
Tantùm
Animam
,

quoque
—
And
Ovid
.
Sanctius

capacius

.
There
is
indeed
a
difference
betweene
Anima
and
Mens
,
the
Soule
and
the
Mind
.
Anima
est
vitae
,
Mens
consilii
fons
,
The
Soule
is
the
Principle
of
life
,
the
Mind
of
reason
and
wisedome
.
Beasts
have
Soules
,
men
only
Minds
.
The
Mind
improves
by
age
and
experience
,
the
Soul
not
.
Soules
are
in
all
men
and
at
all
times
equall
,
the
Minds
most
different
.
Philosophers
thought
they
could
never
sufficiently
magnifie
the
excellency
of
this
faculty
in
man
.
Mente
nihil
homini
praestantius
dedit
Deus
,
Tully
.
They
styled
it
partem
Animae
nobilissimam
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
The
noblest
part
,
the
Queene
and
Soveraigne
in
the
Soule
,
which
is
to
rule
all
the
inferiour
faculties
.
That
Ignea
vis
.
That
Divinae
particula
Aurae
,
which
the
Poets
expressed
under
that
fiction
of
fire
,
which
Prometheus
stole
from
Heaven
,
and
framed
man
withall
.
Mens
est
Coelum
hominis
:
The
Mind
is
as
the
Heaven
and
Firmament
seated
above
all
.
Nay
it
is
Sol
in
Coelo
,
as
the
Sun
,
the
most
glorious
and
usefull
part
of
the
Soule
.
Nay
it
is
Deus
in
nobis
.
As
God
is
the
Mind
of
the
greater
world
;
so
the
Mind
is
as
the
God
of
the
lesser
world
.
Plato
in
Timaeo
affirmes
the
Mind
and
rationall
excellency
in
man
,
to
bee
immediatly
derived
from
that
divine
Mind
,
which
is
God
.
By
this
chiefly
it
is
that
wee
are
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
(
as
S.
Paul
canonizeth
that
Hemistick
of
Aratus
)
neere
a
kind
to
God
,
and
allied
to
the
blessed
Angels
;
which
have
neither
Bodies
nor
Soules
;
but
are
pure
Minds
,
Spirits
and
Intelligences
.
In
this
was
the
Image
of
God
first
chiefly
imprinted
;
and
there
are
the
best
lineaments
,
which
remaine
since
our
decay
and
fall
,
incorporeall
,
invisible
,
eternall
in
some
sort
,
and
infinit
,
as
God
;
wise
,
intelligent
,
provident
and
free
,
as
God
.
By
this
God
hath
fitted
us
to
have
communion
with
himselfe
;
and
commerce
with
his
holy
Spirit
:
by
its
union
to
,
and
conformity
with
which
,
it
may
further
partake
of
the
divine
nature
,
perfection
,
and
happinesse
.
This
faculty
then
,
which
the
wisest
Philosophers
of
old
esteemed
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
pure
,
uncorrupt
,
and
unblemish'd
,
which
above
all
things
they
prized
,
admired
,
and
sought
to
improve
and
advance
,
by
abstracting
it
à
sensuum
contagione
,
from
things
sensuall
and
corruptible
,
retyring
it
to
the
study
of
its
selfe
,
and
its
Authour
,
God
;
which
retyring
Plato
in
Phaedo
calls
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
a
wise
mans
first
death
:
defining
his
Philosophy
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
divorcing
of
the
Soule
from
the
body
,
so
farre
as
the
necessities
of
life
will
permit
.
This
,
by
which
they
measured
the
true
dignity
of
a
man
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
(
Socrates
)
Such
a
man
is
to
be
valued
,
as
his
Mind
is
:
by
which
they
said
truly
that
wise
men
exceeded
fooles
,
and
good
men
wicked
,
as
much
as
heaven
doth
earth
,
or
light
darknesse
,
or
the
herd
and
common
rout
of
men
the
beasts
.
Yet
in
this
faculty
it
is
,
that
the
blessed
Apostle
vilifies
and
depreciates
man
;
pulling
downe
the
high
Imaginations
of
those
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
pretenders
to
wisedome
;
of
whom
he
affirmes
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
They
became
darkned
and
blinded
in
their
understanding
,
vaine
and
foolish
in
their
Imaginations
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
Men
of
perverse
and
depraved
Minds
.
Such
as
are
the
best
and
the
ablest
men
in
the
state
of
nature
,
so
as
to
stand
in
need
of
renewing
by
Grace
.
In
this
the
blessed
Apostle
begins
the
work
of
repairing
;
The
mind
being
that
prime-motor
,
the
maine
spring
,
the
root
and
fountaine
of
all
our
actions
.
As
the
eye
to
the
body
,
so
is
the
Mind
to
the
man
;
if
it
bee
darkned
,
how
great
is
that
darknesse
?
how
confused
,
disorderly
and
dangerous
must
our
motions
be
?
As
that
extravagancy
and
folly
which
appears
in
the
actions
of
fooles
and
mad
men
,
proceeding
from
a
flaw
and
defect
in
the
braine
,
and
the
indisposition
of
those
organs
,
which
the
soule
useth
for
the
exercise
of
its
rationall
faculties
,
is
not
to
bee
mended
by
all
the
teaching
,
advice
and
example
you
can
use
,
till
you
cure
the
distemper
of
the
braine
:
so
all
that
wee
can
teach
men
of
Graces
and
virtues
,
of
God
and
his
perfections
,
of
Christ
his
mercy
,
love
and
sufferings
;
of
their
soules
,
heaven
,
hell
,
eternity
,
&c.
all
the
most
weighty
and
serious
matters
,
will
not
change
the
folly
,
vanity
,
disorder
and
wickednesse
of
mens
words
,
actions
and
converse
,
untill
the
minde
bee
first
renewed
,
and
in
some
degree
restored
to
its
primitive
state
and
integrity
.
Till
then
all
wee
preach
or
learne
is
as
new
wine
put
into
old
bottels
,
whose
strength
their
weaknesse
cannot
containe
:
or
as
a
new
piece
into
an
old
garment
,
it
may
helpe
a
little
to
patch
up
our
lives
and
actions
;
but
at
length
it
aggravates
our
sins
,
and
makes
the
ruptures
of
our
consciences
the
more
desperate
and
wide
,
by
the
encrease
of
our
knowledge
.
Second
Part.
So
necessary
is
it
in
the
second
place
,
that
wee
take
a
serious
survey
of
the
decayes
,
and
see
wherein
they
stand
in
need
of
renewing
:
which
is
the
first
step
to
it
.
Hee
is
well
onward
his
work
of
repairing
,
who
hath
fully
discovered
his
defects
.
Wee
are
here
in
no
sort
to
imagine
,
that
our
soules
,
i.
e.
That
invisible
,
immortall
,
and
spirituall
Being
,
in
its
substance
or
essence
is
any
whit
corrupted
or
impaired
;
which
is
made
incorruptible
.
Nor
are
wee
to
dreame
of
a
grosse
and
physicall
renewing
;
but
in
regard
of
those
divine
endowments
,
and
excellent
abilities
,
with
which
the
soule
of
man
was
at
first
chiefly
furnished
,
in
its
highest
faculty
,
the
Mind
.
As
the
life
of
the
body
consists
in
its
union
with
the
soule
;
and
its
health
in
that
[
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
]
fit
temper
and
proportion
of
humours
,
whereby
every
part
is
disposed
to
discharge
the
commands
of
the
soule
,
which
by
excesse
or
defect
becomes
disabled
,
diseased
,
and
indisposed
:
So
the
life
,
health
,
beauty
,
and
integrity
of
the
Mind
or
Spirit
consists
in
that
union
,
harmony
,
and
exact
correspondency
to
the
divine
Mind
,
and
holy
Spirit
of
God
.
And
contra
,
its
decayes
,
diseases
,
deformities
and
corruptions
are
from
that
dissonancy
,
and
estranging
from
the
mind
of
God
,
that
crossenesse
and
opposition
against
his
will
,
which
hath
prescribed
to
us
the
rule
of
nature
,
reason
,
and
of
Religion
,
his
holy
word
and
Gospel
;
from
which
the
Mind
swerves
either
by
excesse
or
defect
;
applying
it selfe
too
much
to
the
creature
,
or
too
little
to
the
Creator
.
As
the
defects
and
darknesse
of
the
Moone
arise
from
its
want
of
the
Suns
light
,
through
the
earths
interposing
:
So
the
Minds
defects
are
from
the
intervening
of
grosse
,
worldly
,
and
sensuall
objects
,
which
hinder
its
aspect
of
God
,
and
intercept
the
light
both
of
Reason
and
Grace
:
so
that
what
before
was
pure
,
holy
,
and
lightsome
,
because
still
looking
at
God
,
as
its
only
perfective
Object
;
summum
verum
,
bonum
&
jucundum
:
Truth
to
the
understanding
,
Good
to
the
will
,
and
Pleasure
to
the
affections
;
to
the
whole
man
unum
optimum
maximum
,
that
One
thing
necessary
;
the
Summe
and
Center
of
all
desires
,
and
delights
;
is
now
become
dark
,
impure
,
disordered
,
diverted
to
other
objects
,
most
unbeseeming
its
owne
originall
excellency
,
and
that
relation
it
hath
to
its
Maker
.
These
decayes
of
the
mind
of
man
I
will
not
aggravate
,
(
as
I
justly
might
)
by
shewing
you
the
Ignorance
,
Error
,
Superstition
,
and
unreasonablenesse
of
the
minds
of
Heathens
and
Infidels
,
in
former
,
or
these
ages
:
Either
in
their
religion
and
esteeme
of
God
;
or
their
manners
and
converse
with
men
.
And
these
not
only
in
the
dregs
of
men
,
but
even
those
who
were
counted
the
Aquilae
naturae
,
the
Eagles
of
nature
,
both
Greeks
and
Romans
;
whose
minds
were
much
improved
above
the
refuse
of
men
,
by
philosophy
and
morall
discourses
:
Who
notwithstanding
the
glorious
works
of
the
creatures
,
their
vastnesse
,
multitude
,
order
,
beauty
,
use
and
constancy
;
which
are
as
loud
,
daily
,
and
visible
Heralds
to
proclaime
to
man
the
invisible
Power
,
Wisedome
,
and
perfection
of
their
Maker
,
which
must
needs
bee
but
one
,
and
the
best
.
Yet
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
they
grew
vaine
in
their
Imaginations
,
and
their
foolish
minds
were
darkned
.
They
cared
not
to
know
God
,
so
farre
as
they
might
,
nor
to
honour
him
so
farre
as
they
knew
.
How
many
Gods
did
they
invent
?
Ludibria
Numinis
,
&
hominis
opprobria
,
the
scorne
of
the
divine
,
and
the
shame
of
humane
nature
;
at
the
best
,
but
making
God
like
themselves
,
nay
much
below
themselves
,
both
for
nature
and
manners
.
Adeo
ut
facinora
in
homine
plectuntur
quae
in
Deo
adorantur
:
as
S.
Augustine
,
Lactantius
,
and
others
have
convinced
.
And
as
in
the
Nature
of
God
,
so
in
his
Worship
they
discovered
minds
so
blinde
,
sensuall
and
devilish
,
ut
non
tam
sacra
,
quam
sacrilegia
,
their
services
and
sacrifices
were
not
only
not
divine
,
but
many
of
them
most
inhumane
.
How
many
things
ridiculous
,
and
to
be
laughed
at
?
how
many
impious
,
and
to
be
pitied
?
Nihil
deo
dignum
;
multa
homine
indigna
:
most
of
them
below
the
dignity
of
the
humane
nature
;
none
of
them
beseeming
the
Majesty
and
excellence
of
that
first
,
best
,
and
infinite
Being
,
which
wee
call
God
.
But
these
I
may
not
insist
upon
.
The
Subject
to
which
I
must
confine
my selfe
,
with
the
Apostle
,
is
,
your
minds
,
Christians
;
such
as
professe
true
Religion
,
which
is
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
raising
and
improving
of
the
Minde
.
The
ruines
and
blemishes
of
these
wee
are
to
discover
.
Now
although
wee
cannot
see
the
minds
of
men
,
by
an
immediate
Intuition
;
yet
as
the
light
through
the
lanterne
,
so
our
minds
appeare
through
our
manners
.
As
Hee
measured
the
Pyramids
,
by
their
shadowes
,
so
may
we
,
minds
:
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
our
words
are
the
shadowes
of
our
actions
,
and
actions
,
of
our
minds
.
For
our
minde
is
as
the
womb
of
all
our
actions
,
which
conceives
,
formes
,
and
brings
them
forth
,
as
its
incarnate
brood
.
That
as
wee
guesse
at
the
Parent
,
by
the
lines
of
the
issue
;
and
judge
of
the
inward
motion
of
the
wheeles
,
by
the
hand
or
Index
;
or
of
the
heigth
of
the
Sun
,
by
the
light
or
shadow
it
makes
on
inferiour
Bodies
;
so
may
we
likewise
of
minds
.
The
minde
of
man
,
as
it
is
of
heavenly
extraction
,
so
it
is
of
a
restlesse
nature
,
and
in
perpetuall
motion
,
especially
being
out
of
its
sphere
,
and
native
place
;
this
inferiour
world
;
as
that
culinary
fire
here
below
it
requires
some
fewell
to
fasten
and
feed
upon
.
And
although
,
Veritas
mentis
pabulum
,
the
proper
sustenance
of
the
mind
be
truth
;
both
in
the
streames
of
the
creatures
,
and
especially
in
that
Fountaine
of
eternall
Truth
,
God
and
his
Will
:
yet
missing
of
this
,
it
snatcheth
at
any
thing
;
and
for
want
of
care
,
or
ability
to
apply
to
better
matter
,
like
Jet
it
drawes
to
it selfe
trash
,
stubble
,
straw
,
leaves
,
i.
e.
things
of
the
vilest
and
most
unproportionable
Natures
.
And
as
an
ill
stomack
,
at
once
it
pleaseth
and
corrupteth
it selfe
;
till
by
sanctified
Reason
and
Religion
it
bee
set
on
higher
and
better
Objects
,
and
become
more
choice
and
delicate
.

minde
is
all
things
:
as
a
raw
piece
of
cloath
,
capable
of
any
die
or
tincture
;
or
as
a
glasse
,
of
any
Image
and
reflection
:
According
as
it
minds
any
Object
is
applyed
to
it
,
and
delighteth
in
it
,
it
takes
its
quality
and
denomination
from
it
.
For
the
filth
and
contagion
of
sin
,
and
sinfull
Objects
,
doth
taint
and
infect
the
minde
it selfe
:
and
whilest
it
doth
not
,
by
reason
and
grace
,
command
the
inferiour
and
sensuall
appetites
,
it
serves
them
,
and
by
vitious
customes
is
enslaved
and
conformed
to
them
.
1
Thus
wee
justly
esteeme
and
terme
those
minds
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
grosse
,
groveling
,
dejected
,
worldly
and
earthly
;
who
so
minde
earthly
things
,
as
if
they
were
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
only
made
of
earth
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
mixed
with
blood
;
and
had
no
spark
of
heaven
in
them
:
Men
whose
minds
are
never
nearer
heaven
,
than
their
feet
lift
their
heads
:
Who
are
so
intent
on
the
things
of
this
world
,
ut
divinae
particulam
aurae
humi
detrudunt
:
their
soules
cleave
to
the
dust
;
they
rake
up
that
heavenly
spark
of
the
minde
in
ashes
;
loading
themselves
with
thick
clay
,
never
considering
their
soules
originall
,
end
,
capacity
,
necessity
,
nor
that
viaticum
aeternitatis
,
the
provision
to
be
made
for
it
unto
eternity
.
2
In
like
manner
wee
judge
brutish
,
excessive
and
intemperate
minds
to
bee
in
those
men
,
who
are
carried
with
the
same
Spirit
,
as
the
Gadarens
cattell
were
;
whose
minds
are
choaked
and
drowned
by
luxurious
eating
and
drinking
:
who
live
tanquam
poeniteret
non
pecudes
natos
,
as
repining
they
were
not
made
beasts
;
whose
Reason
is
their
burthen
,
and
the
light
of
minde
their
offense
,
by
its
secret
checks
and
damps
,
taking
off
from
that
full
pleasure
,
they
seek
to
enjoy
in
their
riot
and
excesse
.
Men
of
such
minds
,
doe
they
not
deserve
the
fate
of
that
proud
King
,
to
have
the
hearts
of
beasts
given
them
,
and
to
be
driven
from
the
society
of
all
civill
men
and
Christians
?
3
Thus
likewise
wee
account
sensuall
and
carnall
minds
,
uncleane
spirits
to
possesse
those
,
whose
soules
are
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
as
a
Jewell
in
a
dunghill
,
who
live
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
to
the
shame
and
reproch
of
the
humane
nature
;
so
wholly
given
up
to
their
lusts
and
sensuall
desires
,
as
if
they
were
all
flesh
,
and
had
no
diviner
part
,
whose
Reason
should
set
bounds
of
honour
and
moderation
to
inferiour
desires
.
Veneranda
est
non
erubescenda
natura
;
Wee
ought
not
to
shame
and
dishonour
our
natures
,
by
abusing
those
Inclinations
to
unlawfull
pleasures
,
which
are
planted
in
us
to
a
noble
,
good
,
and
excellent
end
;
i.
e.
the
preservation
of
our
nature
and
kinde
.
Nihil
aequè
deprimit
mentem
ac
libido
(
Aquin.
)
Nothing
doth
more
debase
and
brutise
the
spirit
,
and
cast
the
minde
from
its
station
and
dignity
,
than
those
sordid
and
sensuall
pleasures
.
Octavius
thus
vindicates
the
honour
of
Christian
minds
:
libidinem
aut
nullam
,
aut
unicam
generandi
agnoscimus
,
either
wee
doe
wholly
deny
all
lusts
and
fleshly
desires
,
or
wee
keep
them
from
excesse
and
inordination
,
by
prescribing
those
bounds
and
ends
,
for
which
Nature
,
and
the
God
of
Nature
hath
intended
them
.
I
might
be
infinite
by
the
symptomes
of
mens
lives
,
and
the
pulse
of
their
actions
,
to
discover
the
disorder
,
distempers
and
diseases
of
their
minds
.
If
men
had
fenestrata
pectora
,
a
window
to
see
into
their
soules
,
should
wee
not
discover
in
many
either
stramineas
mentes
,
minds
full
of
vanity
,
levity
and
inconstancy
;
or
elatas
,
full
of
Ignorance
and
its
daughters
,
Pride
and
Ambition
;
or
pusillas
&
angustas
,
weak
,
small
,
narrow
and
impotent
minds
,
neither
fitted
to
doe
nor
suffer
like
a
Christian
?
Full
of
discontent
,
impatience
,
unquietude
;
of
rashnesse
,
confusion
and
destraction
;
in
a
continuall
hurry
and
selfe-vexation
,
through
the
tumult
and
disorder
of
passions
and
affections
.
Minds
for
the
most
part
filled
with
small
,
vile
,
and
perishing
Objects
,
even
when
they
most
please
themselves
and
are
applauded
by
others
.
Spirits
let
out
to
the
creature
beyond
all
reason
,
equity
,
need
,
or
use
.
Which
measure
the
goodnesse
of
things
by
the
pleasure
they
take
in
them
,
and
not
take
pleasure
by
the
goodnesse
that
is
in
things
.
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
Minds
enslaved
to
things
present
,
and
led
only
by
sense
and
imagination
;
which
extremely
bribe
and
corrupt
our
Judgements
.
Saint
Paul
tels
us
of
men
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
of
corrupt
minds
:
Corruptio
est
vilioris
naturae
mixtura
(
S.
Tho.
)
then
a
thing
is
corrupted
,
when
it
admits
a
baser
nature
to
it
.
As
Gold
with
Copper
,
Silver
with
Tin
,
is
allay'd
,
and
looseth
of
its
purity
,
worth
and
use
;
So
our
minds
which
are
of
an
higher
nature
than
any
thing
under
the
Sun
,
when
they
are
joyned
to
these
things
of
base
and
inferiour
kinde
,
are
infinitely
diminished
and
debased
by
them
.
There
can
bee
no
match
so
unproportionable
as
this
,
for
the
mind
of
man
to
be
enamoured
of
,
and
wedded
to
the
creature
;
If
wee
did
but
well
know
its
native
beauty
,
vigour
,
and
excellency
;
its
noble
extraction
,
descent
,
and
capacity
.
Vastum
&
infinitum
aliquid
humanus
spirat
animus
,
sayes
Tully
,
The
mind
of
man
aspires
after
an
immense
and
eternall
Good
;
nor
can
it
bee
satisfied
or
happy
with
any
thing
lesse
.
On
the
other
side
compare
the
emptinesse
,
vanity
,
deformity
,
corruption
,
uncertainty
,
and
nothingnesse
of
all
things
under
the
Sun
;
which
perish
in
the
very
use
of
them
;
of
which
a
man
can
have
no
more
certainty
,
than
if
hee
should
take
a
map
of
this
dayes
clouds
,
and
compare
them
with
to
morrow
.
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
.
More
heterogeneall
and
undecent
is
this
match
of
the
Mind
with
the
Creature
,
than
if
the
rose
and
flower
,
of
youth
and
beauty
,
should
bee
buryed
with
the
ashes
and
wrinkles
of
old
age
.
By
this
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
the
minds
of
men
,
by
a
spirituall
adultery
,
are
divorced
from
that
Object
which
is
best
,
in
it selfe
and
to
us
,
which
above
all
wee
should
seek
to
enjoy
.
They
become
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
Lovers
of
pleasures
,
or
the
the
world
,
or
themselves
,
more
than
of
God
.
At
length
the
coldnesse
of
affection
growes
such
,
and
the
distance
of
mens
minds
from
God
so
great
,
the
intercourse
by
meditation
and
prayer
so
seldome
,
that
in
stead
of
contemplation
of
him
,
and
delighting
in
him
,
as
the
only
adaequate
Object
of
the
mind
,
it
begins
above
all
things
to
bee
estranged
from
him
,
and
to
live
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
without
God
in
the
world
.
Willingly
shutting
its
eye
that
it
may
not
see
him
;
and
so
farre
as
light
doth
break
in
,
and
convince
of
a
God
,
it
only
,
as
flashes
of
lightning
,
breeds
feare
in
a
vile
and
servile
sort
;
looking
at
God
,
only
as
a
Being
,
armed
with
irresistible
power
to
hurt
and
punish
.
Et
quem
timet
odit
:
It
becomes
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
.
What
it
thus
feares
it
growes
to
hate
,
and
seeks
to
oppose
;
and
in
the
most
high
and
desperate
Atheisme
,
non
tam
credit
quam
cupit
non
esse
Deum
,
not
so
much
believes
there
is
not
,
as
secretly
wisheth
there
were
no
God
,
to
take
notice
of
,
and
revenge
its
disorders
and
wickednesse
.
And
what
the
mind
earnestly
desires
,
and
oft
seeks
to
perswade
it selfe
is
not
,
it
begins
at
length
to
think
it
not
indeed
;
and
by
an
affectated
and
resolved
Atheisme
,
willingly
neglects
to
know
,
to
feare
,
to
love
,
to
serve
,
to
enjoy
him
,
whom
to
know
is
life
eternall
,
to
feare
is
security
,
to
love
is
the
divinest
comfort
,
to
serve
is
the
truest
liberty
,
to
enjoy
is
the
only
happinesse
and
content
of
the
mind
.
At
last
they
grow
devilish
and
reprobate
minds
,
such
as
sin
with
greedinesse
,
mock
God
,
and
contemne
what
ever
is
sacred
;
loving
darknesse
more
than
light
;
despising
the
blood
of
the
Covenant
;
and
wilfully
forsaking
their
own
mercies
and
happinesse
.
Thus
you
see
how
the
Mind
of
man
becomes
degraded
from
the
highest
pitch
and
object
God
;
and
miserably
decayed
,
in
respect
of
its
noblest
capacity
and
operations
;
That
as
a
weak
braine
it
cannot
now
look
to
so
great
an
heighth
;
as
a
bleare
eye
,
is
offended
with
so
glorious
a
Light
:
either
Atheising
,
(
i.
e.
)
hath
not
,
or
desires
no
God
at
all
:
or
Idolizing
,
and
erects
false
gods
:
or
its
luxuriancy
and
wantonnesse
runs
out
to
superstitious
and
vaine
worshipping
of
the
true
God
:
hardly
containing
it selfe
in
those
bounds
,
which
right
reason
,
the
word
of
God
,
the
majesty
,
purity
,
and
sobriety
of
true
Religion
doth
permit
or
prescribe
.
And
not
thus
only
are
our
minds
decayed
in
their
chiefest
excellency
,
and
immediate
respects
to
God
,
which
wee
call
Religion
;
But
farther
,
in
the
whole
tenour
of
mens
lives
and
actions
,
you
may
discover
minds
full
of
basenesse
,
disorder
and
unreasonablenesse
.
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
sayes
Chrysost.
Wicked
men
are
unreasonable
men
.
Psal.
14.14
.
Are
they
not
without
understanding
that
work
wickednesse
?
Adeo
omnis
inordinatus
animus
sibi
poena
,
In
this
is
every
inordinate
mind
its
owne
first
and
severest
punisher
;
lessening
and
loosing
that
honour
of
right
reason
,
whereby
we
are
men
and
excell
the
beasts
.
Doe
but
trace
mens
actions
,
and
in
them
you
shall
see
the
print
and
Idea
of
their
minds
.
Insani
esse
animi
non
sanus
juret
Orestes
,
No
man
so
mad
,
but
will
protest
they
are
the
effects
of
unreasonable
minds
.
1
Is
any
thing
more
unreasonable
than
so
farre
to
feare
the
face
of
man
,
and
to
bee
awed
by
his
sight
,
as
not
to
doe
any
thing
shamefull
and
undecent
before
him
;
(
except
there
be
attrita
frons
,
brazen
or
no
fore-heads
?
)
and
yet
neither
to
reverence
our selves
,
and
the
witnesse
of
our
owne
consciences
,
nor
the
presence
and
all-seeing
eye
of
God
;
who
,
wee
think
,
sees
not
our
secret
and
shamefull
actions
;
and
so
upon
the
point
we
deny
him
to
bee
God
,
because
not
omniscient
;
or
if
wee
doe
,
then
adde
wee
to
our
sin
a
most
notorious
impudence
.
2
Is
any
thing
more
unreasonable
,
than
of
a
short
,
pretious
,
and
uncertaine
life
,
to
expend
the
prime
and
morne
of
our
time
,
the
flower
of
our
wit
and
strength
,
to
serve
sin
and
the
Devill
?
reserving
only
the
dregs
and
bran
of
our
age
,
for
repentance
and
devotion
;
whereas
indeed
nothing
should
bee
done
with
more
vigour
and
vivacity
,
than
virtuous
and
pious
actions
:
Besides
all
this
,
we
run
a
desperate
hazard
of
our
soules
,
and
their
eternall
salvation
;
venturing
so
great
a
treasure
in
so
fraile
a
bark
;
whereas
indeed
as
David
said
to
Ionathan
,
As
the
Lord
lives
,
and
as
thy
soule
lives
,
even
the
strongest
,
youngest
,
and
most
confident
of
us
all
,
there
is
but
a
step
betweene
us
and
death
.
3
Is
any
thing
more
unreasonable
than
in
old
age
,
when
our
Sun
is
almost
set
,
when
wee
have
little
time
to
live
,
and
need
least
,
yet
then
to
minde
and
covet
the
world
most
;
so
much
studying
the
body
,
as
to
neglect
the
soules
provision
;
to
value
a
moment
,
and
slight
eternity
?
4
Is
any
thing
more
unreasonable
,
than
to
receive
many
,
great
,
and
daily
blessings
from
the
almost
prodigall
hand
of
God
;
and
yet
to
be
so
farre
from
being
thankfull
for
them
,
that
wee
are
more
offensive
to
the
Giver
by
them
?
dishonouring
him
by
his
very
blessings
of
peace
,
health
,
plenty
,
beauty
,
strength
,
parts
,
wit
,
and
learning
,
&c.
abusing
all
to
pride
,
vanity
,
excesse
,
&c.
Because
God
is
constantly
Good
,
wee
are
confidently
evill
.
5
Is
any
thing
more
unreasonable
,
than
for
a
man
to
sweare
gratis
?
i.
e.
tempted
neither
by
profit
nor
pleasure
;
and
either
out
of
a
proud
affectation
of
Gallantry
,
or
out
of
passion
against
anothers
folly
,
to
blaspheme
the
name
of
that
God
and
Saviour
,
by
which
man
pretends
to
hope
for
salvation
.
If
there
bee
a
God
above
us
,
how
can
they
bee
guiltlesse
that
take
his
name
in
vaine
;
making
that
cheap
and
prophanely
obvious
,
which
all
wise
and
good
men
have
esteemeed
and
used
,
as
most
sacred
and
reverend
?
If
there
bee
no
God
,
how
vaine
then
are
their
violent
expressions
,
their
frequent
and
passionate
swearings
?
6
Is
any
thing
more
unreasonable
,
than
to
disobey
his
commands
,
who
needs
not
our
Service
,
but
we
need
his
commands
;
who
therefore
honours
us
with
his
commands
,
ut
habeat
causas
remunerandi
,
that
hee
may
have
occasion
to
reward
our
obedience
;
by
violating
whose
precepts
and
lawes
,
wee
at
once
,
in
effect
,
deny
all
his
Attributes
,
As
if
hee
were
neither
wise
nor
good
,
in
enacting
such
lawes
;
nor
powerfull
nor
just
in
vindicating
them
.
7
Wee
cannot
endure
a
man
that
hath
a
heart
and
a
heart
,
that
is
,
none
at
all
;
whose
mind
and
expressions
are
alwayes
two
,
and
at
variance
.
Wee
rather
entertaine
such
with
jealousie
and
suspition
,
than
confidence
and
affection
;
because
wee
know
all
is
but
outside
,
a
shew
,
and
simulation
only
for
their
owne
ends
:
And
is
not
that
Hypocrisie
of
those
S.
Iames
calls
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
double-minded
men
,
most
impudent
and
unreasonable
;
which
they
feare
not
to
offer
to
God
?
while
they
desire
only
(
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
)
to
appeare
,
not
to
bee
seriously
and
solidly
religious
;
whose
Affections
are
but
Affectations
;
whose
profession
branches
beyond
the
root
of
their
knowledge
;
whose
religion
is
but
the
part
they
act
to
please
some
spectators
;
the
paint
of
their
actions
,
and
the
cloak
they
assume
,
to
palliate
and
compasse
their
poore
and
small
designes
of
favour
,
or
profit
,
&c.
Forgetting
that
nothing
becomes
the
simplicity
of
Gods
being
,
and
his
serious
intentions
of
good
to
man
,
more
than
that
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
sincerity
and
soundnesse
of
minde
to
Him
and
his
service
.
Nor
is
a
man
ever
more
unfaithfull
to
his
owne
soule
,
than
when
hee
doubles
and
falsifies
with
God
:
What
is
the
hope
of
the
Hypocrite
,
when
God
shall
take
away
his
soule
?
Nothing
leaves
a
man
more
hardned
and
desperate
than
Hypocrisie
.
8
We
are
impatient
that
our
words
and
promises
should
be
disbeleeved
,
and
returned
upon
us
with
the
reproach
of
a
lie
:
And
is
it
not
most
unreasonable
,
that
wee
should
doubt
,
or
not
beleeve
at
all
,
or
utterly
deny
the
word
,
the
Gospel
,
the
promises
and
truth
of
God
;
making
him
a
lyar
who
is
the
first
,
most
necessary
and
eternall
truth
,
who
never
did
,
and
its
impossible
hee
should
,
either
erre
or
deceive
?
9
Wee
think
it
just
that
whoso
offends
our
meannesse
,
and
expects
to
reingratiate
himselfe
to
our
favour
,
should
at
least
ingenuously
acknowledge
his
fault
,
and
promise
amends
,
upon
suit
of
our
pardon
:
And
is
it
not
most
unreasonable
that
when
our
consciences
tell
us
,
wee
have
often
and
highly
offended
the
God
of
heaven
,
yet
never
to
bee
touched
with
remorse
and
sorrow
for
our
sins
,
but
persist
with
dry
eyes
to
adde
sin
unto
sin
:
Abusing
that
long-suffering
of
God
,
which
should
lead
us
to
repentance
:
hardning
our
hearts
by
what
should
melt
them
,
the
patience
and
longanimity
of
God
;
which
is
so
great
and
excessive
,
being
provoked
every
day
,
That
if
wee
had
no
other
Argument
to
convince
there
is
a
God
immensly
good
,
this
were
enough
;
for
no
finite
patience
could
forbeare
so
long
.
Wee
daily
pray
for
,
and
expect
forgivenesse
from
the
Majesty
of
God
,
for
our
numberlesse
and
hainous
offenses
,
which
if
wee
obtaine
not
,
it
had
beene
good
for
us
that
wee
had
never
been
borne
.
And
is
it
not
most
unreasonable
,
that
wee
should
be
so
sensible
of
the
least
injury
offered
to
our
vilenesse
;
so
short
spirited
,
that
like
powder
wee
kindle
upon
the
least
sparke
of
offense
,
and
instantly
flame
to
revenge
.
That
like
Esau
,
or
that
evill
servant
in
the
Gospel
,
Mat.
18.28
.
Wee
feed
our
minds
with
such
black
and
desperate
thoughts
,
as
to
count
nothing
sufficient
to
redeeme
our
honours
,
or
repaire
our
wrongs
,
but
the
very
blood
and
life
of
our
brother
.
That
being
mortall
,
wee
should
meditate
such
immortall
displeasure
;
and
to
expiate
in
point
of
honour
some
small
neglect
or
affront
(
which
a
great
and
noble
minde
would
passe
over
,
quippe
minuti
semper
&
exigui
est
animi
minimique
voluptas
,
ultio
;
and
a
Christian
minde
for
Christs
sake
would
forgive
:
)
so
as
to
adventure
at
once
the
sacrificing
two
soules
to
the
Devill
and
eternall
death
:
So
that
what
event
soever
a
Duell
hath
,
wee
doe
our
soules
a
greater
injury
,
than
is
in
any
mans
power
to
doe
us
.
If
God
had
beene
thus
speedy
and
implacable
to
thee
,
thou
hadst
not
lived
to
have
stood
so
much
upon
thy
termes
,
to
set
a
higher
value
on
that
Idoll
,
thy
Reputation
,
than
upon
thy
God
,
thy
Saviour
,
thy
brothers
and
thine
owne
soules
salvation
.
Hic
animus
atque
hae
sunt
generosi
Principis
Artes
?
Are
these
the
expressions
of
reasonable
minds
?
of
generous
and
great
spirits
?
As
Lactantius
said
of
Iupiter
,
whom
they
stiled
Opt.
Max.
Maximus
sit
,
certè
Optimus
non
est
;
so
may
I
say
of
these
,
How
great
minds
they
are
I
know
not
,
but
I
am
sure
they
are
not
very
good
;
having
little
of
reason
or
religion
,
which
are
the
only
raisers
and
enlargers
of
the
mind
.
Thus
true
it
is
,
That
(
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
)
All
wickednesse
is
for
want
of
wisedome
;
all
sin
the
defect
and
sign
of
an
unreasonable
Mind
:
And
though
it
be
set
off
with
never
so
many
shewes
of
wit
,
and
countenanced
by
greatness
;
yet
it
drawes
deep
of
folly
and
extreme
sottishnesse
;
such
as
a
Christian
mind
should
count
most
unworthy
of
it selfe
,
and
its
Authour
,
God
;
since
it
blemisheth
its
chiefest
ornament
,
Reason
;
and
the
beauty
of
reason
,
which
is
Religion
.
Thus
wee
may
see
,
and
seeing
I
cannot
but
stand
a
while
and
deplore
the
miserable
ruines
and
decayes
of
this
excellent
creature
,
man
,
and
his
excellency
,
the
mind
:
which
the
hand
of
the
best
and
wisest
Maker
,
had
at
first
framed
to
so
goodly
a
frame
and
beauty
,
that
it
seemed
a
fit
Type
and
Modell
to
represent
its
Makers
skill
and
perfections
.
Naturae
imperio
gemimus
,
wee
are
naturally
prone
to
grieve
,
and
pitty
to
see
the
ruines
of
a
stately
building
,
whose
heighth
might
have
shook
hands
with
heaven
;
or
to
see
an
elegant
piece
or
statue
,
where
in
the
Art
and
curiosity
of
the
Workman
had
contended
with
Nature
and
the
life
it selfe
,
now
every-where
flawed
and
deformed
:
only
such
lineaments
left
as
serve
to
shew
,
how
well
it
deserves
our
pitty
,
and
if
it
were
possible
,
our
Repair
.
How
much
more
worthy
of
our
serious
consideration
and
sorrow
,
are
the
Decayes
and
Dilapidations
of
these
goodly
structures
,
our selves
?
not
only
the
base-Court
,
and
out-walls
of
our
bodies
,
nor
that
inward
of
our
sensitive
appetite
and
phantasies
;
but
that
Sacrarium
,
that
Holy
of
Holies
,
our
Spirits
and
Minds
;
spoyled
of
all
those
rich
divine
Ornaments
they
were
once
adorned
withall
.
And
this
not
by
the
Injury
of
Time
,
but
our
owne
voluntary
sin
;
and
which
is
most
deplorable
,
of
our selves
wee
daily
sink
and
moulder
to
an
utter
vastation
and
eternall
ruine
.
For
though
wee
had
power
to
impaire
and
waste
our selves
,
yet
have
wee
neither
skill
nor
will
of
our selves
to
renew
and
repaire
;
till
that
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
first
,
wise
,
and
powerfull
Builder
enable
us
with
power
from
above
,
to
renew
that
by
his
grace
and
Spirit
,
which
wee
have
wasted
by
our
owne
sin
and
folly
.
Nor
did
that
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
great
worker
,
God
,
shew
more
power
,
wisedome
,
and
goodnesse
in
our
first
framing
,
than
hee
doth
Grace
,
Mercy
,
and
pitty
in
our
reforming
.
While
wee
(
alas
)
please
our selves
in
our
rubbish
,
and
dance
in
our
ashes
and
ruines
,
our
sins
and
follies
,
His
truth
discovers
our
decayes
and
danger
;
his
Spirit
stirres
us
up
to
consider
them
,
to
grieve
for
them
,
to
be
ashamed
of
them
;
and
enables
us
to
set
to
the
work
of
renewing
:
having
set
before
us
a
paterne
,
the
expresse
Image
of
himselfe
in
our
nature
,
His
Son
our
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
to
whose
beauty
and
perfections
a
Christian
minde
ought
daily
to
aspire
;
who
as
hee
requires
this
work
of
us
,
so
hee
enables
us
to
it
;
and
that
hee
may
the
more
encourage
us
,
he
doth
in
some
sort
count
it
ours
,
and
will
reward
us
for
it
,
by
crowning
his
graces
in
us
.
The
third
Part.
Thus
having
seene
(
Reverend
,
Honourable
,
and
beloved
)
the
many
great
and
universall
ruines
,
and
decayes
of
our
minds
,
both
in
reason
and
Religion
,
and
so
how
great
need
wee
have
of
renewing
,
It
is
now
time
wee
look
to
the
third
particular
,
The
manner
of
the
Work
,
as
it
is
here
recommended
to
us
by
the
Spirit
of
God
.
Be
renewed
,
&c.
This
wee
will
consider
in
two
things
answerable
to
the
Decayes
.
1
In
point
of
Reason
,
which
is
the
naturall
excellency
of
the
mind
,
so
farre
as
it
looks
to
this
present
life
.
2
In
point
of
Religion
and
Grace
,
which
is
the
supernaturall
excellency
,
as
it
looks
to
the
life
to
come
.
1
Reason
is
the
Manifestation
of
the
divine
will
in
the
creature
.
It
is
as
a
right
line
or
thred
of
wisedome
which
runs
through
all
things
,
by
which
every
thing
is
fitted
and
tyed
together
,
by
a
suitablenesse
and
proportion
of
their
formes
and
ends
;
and
all
of
them
as
lines
in
a
Circle
,
diverse
in
their
circumference
,
but
meeting
in
one
Center
,
the
glory
of
God
their
Maker
.
God
hath
endewed
the
soule
of
man
with
an
ability
which
wee
call
the
mind
or
rationall
faculty
,
to
find
out
this
rule
and
law
both
in
himselfe
and
all
creatures
by
discourse
:
and
having
found
it
,
his
conscience
tyes
him
to
follow
and
observe
it
,
both
towards
himselfe
and
all
things
without
him
.
This
tye
and
relation
of
reason
is
most
constant
and
unchangeable
in
all
things
which
work
and
are
moved
by
instinct
and
necessity
ad
unum
;
only
the
reasonable
creatures
which
have
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
a
free-will
and
liberty
of
working
,
doe
often
swerve
from
this
rule
of
Reason
;
which
whoso
most
observes
,
we
count
a
wise
and
prudent
man
;
whoso
by
sensuality
and
passion
violates
,
we
count
him
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
foolish
,
disorderly
,
and
unreasonable
.
God
is
the
most
rationall
Agent
,
doing
all
to
a
right
end
,
and
by
fitting
meanes
;
having
wisedome
to
dispose
,
and
power
to
effect
beyond
all
possibility
of
power
,
or
resistance
.
Mans
best
improvement
of
reason
is
,
to
find
out
and
propound
to
himselfe
the
right
end
,
which
is
Gods
,
and
must
bee
good
;
and
to
use
fitting
meanes
,
which
must
be
honest
,
in
all
his
Actions
to
himselfe
and
others
.
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
(
Arist.
)
Reason
still
enformes
us
best
.
This
Rule
,
Iuxta
rationem
vivere
,
to
live
by
Reason
,
Philosophers
and
wise
men
of
the
world
thought
the
highest
,
best
,
and
sufficient
Rule
to
live
by
,
which
would
bring
a
man
to
the
best
end
,
in
the
fruition
of
which
consisted
Happinesse
,
or
that
Summum
bonum
.
By
this
Rule
[
Reason
]
they
did
and
said
many
things
very
noble
,
and
commendable
,
wel-becomming
the
dignity
of
the
mind
of
man
;
at
least
for
the
materiality
of
their
actions
,
civill
and
morall
:
as
the
enacting
of
just
and
wholesome
lawes
,
the
constituting
of
formes
of
Government
,
and
well-ordering
of
Common-weales
,
for
administration
of
Justice
in
both
kinds
,
for
moderating
the
sensuall
Appetites
,
for
composing
the
passions
,
&c.
Though
they
seeme
to
have
failed
in
the
main
end
,
which
chiefly
formes
and
qualifies
both
Actions
and
Agents
,
to
wit
,
the
glory
of
the
great
Creator
;
while
they
did
things
not
out
of
Conscience
,
and
obedience
to
his
will
,
but
out
of
respect
and
love
they
had
to
their
Countrey
or
themselves
,
out
of
an
insatiable
desire
of
Glory
and
immortality
of
Fame
.
Hence
their
minds
grew
vaine
and
proud
,
which
blemished
both
themselves
,
and
the
most
specious
of
their
doings
or
sufferings
.
For
although
these
men
went
farre
in
renewing
their
minds
by
the
light
of
Reason
,
to
a
restrained
and
civilized
temper
,
above
the
most
of
men
;
yet
they
came
farre
short
of
that
highest
and
divinest
pitch
of
Renovation
,
which
is
in
respect
of
true
piety
and
Religion
,
which
is
The
minds
conformity
to
the
will
of
God
,
for
what
concernes
a
better
and
eternall
life
;
which
is
the
speciall
effect
of
Christian
faith
;
and
this
is
the
Grace
of
God
.
In
respect
of
this
last
and
great
end
,
the
Glory
of
God
in
the
saving
of
our
soules
,
I
need
not
tell
you
,
how
blinde
Reason
is
and
ever
was
,
in
the
wisest
of
naturall
men
.
You
know
how
confused
and
uncertaine
all
was
that
they
guessed
or
discoursed
of
the
Soules
immortality
and
after-happinesse
,
which
so
farre
as
they
did
expect
,
it
was
only
grounded
on
a
mans
owne
Righteousnesse
,
and
good
works
,
not
upon
anothers
,
applied
by
Faith
,
which
is
only
the
Christians
light
.
For
bare
Reason
will
never
suffice
to
find
out
its
owne
defects
,
the
nature
of
sin
,
and
misery
by
it
,
nor
the
fall
of
man
,
which
no
Philosophers
dreamed
of
;
Much
lesse
of
the
way
of
repairing
by
the
free
love
and
mercy
of
God
through
Jesus
Christ
our
great
Redeemer
.
For
this
,
the
mind
needs
a
supernaturall
light
of
the
word
of
God
and
his
Spirit
:
Which
only
can
raise
the
soule
to
see
its
owne
misery
,
and
accept
of
Gods
mercy
.
So
that
what
the
mind
is
not
able
,
in
this
great
mystery
of
our
salvation
,
by
Reason
to
invent
or
comprehend
,
for
the
uniting
of
two
at
so
infinite
distance
,
as
a
most
holy
and
just
God
and
a
sinfull
man
;
Its
narrownesse
and
incapacity
is
supplied
by
the
Grace
of
faith
;
trusting
in
,
adhaering
to
,
and
relying
upon
the
truth
,
mercy
,
and
power
of
the
Promiser
and
Revealer
of
these
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
great
things
of
God
;
as
also
for
the
effecting
of
them
.
2
So
that
Christian
faith
is
the
greatest
improving
and
raising
of
the
mind
,
bringing
the
soule
back
to
that
first
and
best
object
,
God
;
from
whom
by
sin
it
was
alienated
and
diverted
to
the
creature
.
And
the
nearer
the
mind
approaches
by
faith
to
God
,
the
more
it
partakes
of
his
light
and
grace
;
the
more
is
the
divine
Image
renewed
in
the
mind
and
whole
man
,
which
wee
call
Holinesse
;
which
is
a
study
of
conformity
to
the
will
of
God
,
arising
from
the
apprehension
and
beliefe
of
his
goodnesse
in
himselfe
,
and
his
love
to
us
in
Christ
.
For
untill
a
man
believes
this
truth
of
God
in
the
Gospel
,
and
sees
those
better
things
offered
to
him
in
Christ
,
hee
cannot
mind
the
things
of
God
,
with
any
delight
or
comfort
;
as
being
either
incredible
,
or
impertinent
and
unprofitable
unto
him
;
The
mysteries
of
God
being
,
as
that
of
regeneration
to
Nicodemus
,
hidden
and
strange
Paradoxes
,
rather
than
saving
truths
and
gracious
promises
.
And
certainly
,
till
wee
believe
that
God
hath
loved
us
freely
in
Christ
,
our
minds
cannot
bee
carried
with
that
filiall
love
to
him
as
a
Father
.
Tantum
amamus
quantum
credimus
,
As
farre
as
wee
believe
we
love
,
as
we
love
we
live
.
Till
we
believe
God
will
save
us
,
as
he
hath
promised
,
upon
our
turning
from
sin
to
Christ
,
wee
cannot
serve
him
with
that
free
and
faithfull
service
,
as
hee
requires
.
Till
wee
believe
in
some
measure
,
that
God
hath
chosen
us
in
Christ
to
bee
his
for
ever
,
wee
cannot
quit
our
minds
of
other
things
,
and
choose
him
for
our
highest
good
and
only
happinesse
.
Therefore
wee
see
the
low
and
narrow
minds
of
men
out
of
Christ
,
seek
only
to
supply
their
wants
and
please
themselves
with
these
small
,
temporary
,
and
appearing
good
things
which
this
life
affords
.
Their
desires
and
feares
,
their
shadowes
of
content
,
their
dreames
of
honour
,
of
happinesse
how
meane
and
poore
!
how
false
and
deluding
!
how
much
to
be
pittied
!
having
nothing
in
their
ayme
,
which
is
worthy
the
minds
dignity
,
or
answerable
to
the
soules
infinite
capacity
and
duration
.
Only
true
Christians
,
that
is
,
Beleevers
,
above
all
sects
and
professions
,
have
given
great
proofe
of
the
true
magnanimity
of
their
noble
and
generous
minds
,
both
in
doing
and
suffering
;
having
minds
by
faith
renewed
,
and
so
raised
,
that
they
were
able
to
despise
all
that
the
world
esteemed
,
to
contemne
all
they
threatned
or
inflicted
,
to
deny
themselves
unto
death
;
their
minds
being
fixed
on
that
life
,
treasure
,
and
happinesse
,
which
God
hath
offered
to
mankind
in
Jesus
Christ
.
So
then
,
Iesus
Christ
,
wee
see
,
is
that
first
,
great
,
and
soveraigne
object
,
whom
whilst
our
minds
by
faith
look
upon
,
they
are
renewed
,
raised
,
beautified
,
ennobled
,
and
transformed
:
the
mind
of
Christ
being
that
excellent
paterne
and
type
by
which
ours
must
be
renewed
,
as
the
Apostle
prescribes
.
Let
the
same
mind
be
in
you
,
which
was
also
in
Jesus
Christ
;
so
holy
,
so
pure
,
so
heavenly
,
so
composed
:
whose
spirit
in
and
with
your
spirits
effects
this
great
and
happy
worke
of
renewing
.
For
Christ
is
not
,
as
other
paternes
,
dead
and
unactive
,
but
operative
,
and
assimilating
those
to
himselfe
,
who
strive
to
imitate
his
vertues
and
perfections
.
Therefore
the
Apostle
Paul
,
a
learned
and
judicious
man
,
determined
to
know
nothing
(
as
his
maine
)
but
Iesus
Christ
and
him
crucified
.
Other
learning
and
Philosophy
may
free
us
from
barbarisme
in
manners
,
and
ignorance
of
the
creatures
;
but
faith
in
Christ
crucified
only
is
able
to
redeeme
us
from
our
vaine
conversation
,
to
mortifie
our
sins
,
to
raise
up
our
soules
to
consider
themselves
,
their
great
and
last
end
,
and
highest
eternall
good
,
which
is
God
,
considered
in
the
face
of
Jesus
Christ
.
That
Rapsody
of
humane
knowledge
,
or
rather
opinion
(
indeed
but
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
)
with
which
men
so
stuffe
and
cramb
their
minds
,
of
things
that
need
not
be
knowne
,
or
ought
not
,
or
cannot
fully
be
knowne
,
(
whose
ignorance
were
safe
and
commendable
)
what
doth
it
but
(
as
the
Apostle
tels
us
)
puffe
up
?
as
a
false
conception
breeds
only
(
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
)
a
swelling
and
abortion
of
pride
,
and
selfe-conceit
;
but
brings
forth
nothing
of
those
(
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
)
noble
and
generous
effects
in
their
lives
,
which
become
the
divine
nature
of
the
soule
.
Certainly
,
though
a
man
had
devoured
all
the
learning
of
Philosophers
,
Historians
,
Poets
,
Divines
,
and
Humanists
,
yet
(
as
Pharaohs
lean
Kine
)
the
mind
would
be
never
the
fatter
or
fairer
;
but
still
empty
and
unsatisfied
in
it selfe
,
and
ill-favoured
in
the
sight
of
God
:
as
that
poore
man
that
dreamed
hee
eat
and
drank
and
was
filled
,
but
when
the
soule
awakes
,
in
that
morning
of
eternity
(
death
or
the
resurrection
)
it
will
find
all
without
the
knowledge
of
Christ
to
be
but
vanity
of
mind
,
and
vexation
of
spirit
.
In
all
other
learning
,
the
mind
doth
but
pick
up
a
few
strawes
,
leaves
and
feathers
,
the
notions
and
scatterings
of
a
dark
,
confused
,
and
defective
knowledge
,
to
make
it selfe
a
small
nest
of
temporary
content
;
which
will
be
soon
cast
downe
,
when
death
,
as
a
whirle-wind
,
overtakes
us
;
the
mind
will
be
left
dubious
,
wandring
,
and
distracted
,
not
having
been
truly
wise
to
get
by
faith
a
sure
mansion
for
it selfe
in
that
Rock
Christ
Jesus
.
Now
this
renewing
of
the
mind
,
is
not
a
work
of
wit
and
parts
,
but
of
grace
and
devotion
;
It
is
not
strength
of
reason
,
nor
depth
of
judgement
,
nor
acutenesse
of
invention
,
nor
faithfulnesse
of
memory
,
nor
vastnesse
of
reading
,
nor
subtilty
of
dispute
,
nor
heighth
of
speculation
,
that
renewes
the
carnall
and
naturall
mind
:
all
these
abilities
doe
often
want
most
renewing
,
to
take
off
that
pride
and
vanity
of
mind
,
which
commonly
attends
them
;
to
purge
out
that
leaven
,
which
puffes
them
up
to
vain-glory
and
selfe-seeking
;
to
bring
them
,
as
the
Wise
men
of
the
East
,
in
all
humility
and
devotion
to
seek
Christ
,
and
offer
up
those
treasures
of
wit
and
learning
,
to
the
Honour
of
God
,
the
Giver
.
Beleeve
it
,
Small
and
moderate
minds
for
wit
,
capacity
,
and
secular
learning
,
yet
if
sanctified
by
faith
,
are
often
raised
to
more
eminent
expressions
of
love
,
joy
,
zeale
,
patience
,
constancy
,
and
all
good
affections
;
for
though
they
cannot
formally
dispute
,
yet
they
can
suffer
,
dye
for
Christ
;
and
though
they
bee
not
learned
in
humane
Arts
and
Sciences
,
yet
they
have
learn'd
the
first
and
hardest
lesson
in
Christianity
,
which
is
,
to
deny
themselves
in
point
of
pleasures
,
profits
,
honours
,
and
outward
contents
,
more
than
many
of
the
wise
and
learned
;
whose
learning
,
while
they
nourish
proud
,
sensuall
,
and
Atheisticall
minds
,
is
but
their
crime
and
burthen
;
serving
only
to
die
their
sins
to
a
deeper
tincture
of
folly
;
and
is
as
a
milstone
about
their
necks
,
that
sinks
their
soules
to
a
farther
degree
of
condemnation
.
And
doe
wee
not
often
see
,
men
of
great
wits
and
noble
endowments
for
nature
and
industry
,
who
have
no
cause
to
disbeleeve
the
word
of
God
,
since
hee
never
yet
failed
of
his
promise
;
and
hath
confirmed
the
truth
of
the
Gospel
,
by
so
many
infallible
witnesses
,
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
Martyrs
,
Confessors
,
by
Miracles
,
by
Sacraments
,
and
what
ever
might
induce
men
(
morally
)
to
accept
of
his
mercy
in
Christ
,
and
live
accordingly
.
Yet
these
men
,
not
having
minds
renewed
by
faith
,
count
all
but
,
as
the
Athenians
,
babling
and
foolishnesse
of
preaching
;
continuing
to
please
themselves
with
momentary
and
perishing
Objects
;
meane
time
,
with
extreme
sin
and
folly
(
which
will
bee
their
misery
at
last
)
they
neglect
that
great
salvation
,
which
God
hath
offered
to
mankind
in
Jesus
Christ
;
greater
than
which
neither
the
soule
can
desire
,
nor
God
can
give
,
since
the
Author
,
Meanes
,
and
End
is
God
himselfe
.
We
see
in
the
Gospel
,
till
the
Prodigall
came
to
himselfe
(
peregrinatur
enim
omnis
inordinatus
animus
,
Chrysol.
for
wicked
and
inordinate
minds
are
alwayes
from
home
,
busied
about
all
but
themselves
;
)
till
hee
returned
ad
saniorem
mentem
,
to
consider
seriously
the
necessitous
way
into
which
hee
was
falne
,
and
wherein
hee
maintained
himselfe
,
only
so
farre
as
to
bee
sensible
of
his
sordid
misery
;
and
till
hee
thought
of
the
plenty
both
of
his
fathers
affection
and
provision
,
hee
was
not
resolved
to
quit
his
husks
and
brutish
company
.
Primum
est
compositae
mentis
argumentum
secum
consistere
,
it
is
the
first
step
or
signe
of
a
renewed
mind
,
to
be
composed
,
to
tarry
at
home
,
to
bee
with
and
reflect
on
it selfe
:
which
faith
alone
makes
it
to
doe
,
bringing
the
mind
back
from
the
former
vanity
and
extravagancy
,
and
making
it
seriously
retire
to
it selfe
and
its
Author
,
God
,
its
Saviour
,
Christ
,
what
hee
is
,
and
what
hee
hath
done
for
us
,
revealed
to
us
,
and
requireth
of
us
;
All
which
the
mind
by
faith
considering
of
,
assenting
to
,
and
relying
,
upon
,
is
in
some
degree
renewed
daily
,
to
its
primitive
beauty
and
integrity
;
new
light
in
the
understanding
;
new
objects
to
the
will
;
new
motions
to
the
affections
;
new
actions
in
our
conversation
,
which
are
all
but
earnest
and
pledges
of
that
fulnesse
and
perfection
,
which
the
soule
shall
at
last
receive
in
the
vision
and
fruition
of
God
and
Christ
in
the
life
to
come
,
when
both
soule
and
body
shall
bee
renewed
to
an
undecayable
perfection
.
The
Fourth
Part.
Thus
have
wee
seene
the
nature
,
the
ruines
,
and
way
of
renewing
the
mind
.
Give
mee
leave
now
in
the
fourth
place
,
to
present
to
you
the
Idea
or
Character
of
a
renewed
mind
;
which
(
as
hee
said
of
virtue
)
if
wee
could
discerne
with
our
bodily
eyes
,
it
would
strangely
win
upon
and
ravish
our
affections
.
There
are
three
Regions
of
minds
,
as
of
ayre
of
heavens
.
1
The
first
is
of
low
,
earthly
,
and
debased
to
senses
and
the
things
of
this
world
,
which
covet
much
more
,
and
yet
nothing
more
,
than
this
life
and
the
body
needs
.
2
The
second
is
a
higher
and
middle
Region
of
minds
;
which
are
raised
above
the
vulgar
,
in
desire
of
knowledge
,
honour
and
renowne
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
.
These
are
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
rather
high-minded
than
heavenly
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
as
Comets
raised
up
and
more
lightsome
than
others
,
but
still
of
grosse
and
earthly
qualities
,
and
will
soone
vanish
.
3
The
third
and
highest
Region
is
of
minds
,
that
are
as
the
Starres
in
the
Firmament
;
pure
,
holy
,
heavenly
;
as
heaven
full
of
light
,
beauty
,
order
,
tranquillity
,
and
constancy
of
motion
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
out
of
the
reach
of
inferiour
things
;
not
subject
to
mutation
or
corruption
;
of
a
sweet
and
happy
influence
to
all
inferiour
faculties
,
which
are
as
the
earth
,
or
lower
world
of
the
man
.
It
is
mens
vicina
Deo
;
as
the
highest
heaven
,
so
the
renewed
mind
is
neere
to
God
himselfe
;
above
all
things
looking
to
him
,
filled
with
him
;
adores
,
admires
,
delights
,
converseth
with
God
.
Good
thoughts
as
good
Angels
,
descending
in
all
humble
acknowledgement
of
its
owne
distance
and
unworthinesse
;
yet
ascending
by
faith
to
the
contemplation
of
the
infinite
perfections
of
God
himselfe
,
and
his
mercifull
communicating
of
himselfe
to
us
through
Jesus
Christ
.
This
makes
a
renewed
mind
never
alone
;
a
good
mans
solitude
more
to
bee
envied
than
all
the
company
in
the
world
:
For
as
God
hath
made
us
bodies
fit
to
converse
with
things
corporall
;
so
minds
and
spirits
for
a
mentall
and
spirituall
communion
with
himselfe
,
by
meditation
and
prayer
,
which
are
the
fruits
of
faith
.
The
renewed
mind
alone
sees
God
upon
earth
,
and
discernes
his
wayes
,
which
are
hidden
from
the
eyes
of
the
world
.
In
Warres
and
tumults
,
it
looks
upon
the
anger
of
Princes
,
the
injuries
of
men
and
their
rebellious
spirits
;
and
considers
the
just
judgement
of
God
upon
sinfull
men
,
corrupted
with
long
peace
,
whose
spirits
are
stir'd
up
to
punish
each
other
:
And
through
all
times
and
mutations
of
humane
affaires
,
it
still
marks
and
expects
Gods
care
and
faithfulnesse
,
for
the
preservation
of
the
Ark
his
Church
,
amidst
the
inundation
of
warre
and
barbarisme
;
The
Church
being
Gods
great
designe
in
this
world
,
to
which
all
States
,
Monarchs
,
Princes
,
the
great
men
,
and
great
things
of
this
world
are
subservient
.
Next
to
God
,
a
renewed
mind
reflects
upon
,
and
reverenceth
it selfe
;
studies
books
,
men
,
creatures
,
all
things
,
but
chiefly
it selfe
;
counts
it selfe
as
the
Iewell
of
the
man
,
precious
and
portable
;
all
things
without
as
the
lumber
,
which
may
be
lost
,
and
must
be
left
.
It
turnes
the
current
of
affections
another
way
,
and
improves
them
by
grace
,
to
better
objects
;
love
,
joy
,
desire
,
delight
to
God
and
Christ
,
and
the
doing
of
good
;
fear
,
hatred
,
griefe
,
anger
,
&c.
against
sin
,
and
the
doing
of
evill
.
It
considers
sin
as
the
greatest
deformity
and
evill
that
can
befall
,
and
which
only
can
hurt
the
soule
.
It
had
rather
have
Gods
grace
,
than
his
temporall
gifts
:
It
esteemes
heaven
not
so
much
for
the
impunity
as
the
immunity
from
sin
:
The
happinesse
it
desires
is
a
perfection
of
Holinesse
;
and
its
glory
a
fulnesse
of
Grace
.
In
it selfe
it
is
mens
tranquilla
,
full
of
composednesse
,
tranquillity
,
and
sweet
harmony
;
which
it
counts
so
divine
a
happinesse
,
as
no
occurrence
in
the
world
is
worthy
to
disorder
it
.
It
keeps
a
symmetry
of
actions
,
and
uniformity
of
life
;
making
passions
and
affections
subject
to
reason
,
reason
to
faith
,
and
faith
to
the
truth
and
will
of
God
revealed
.
In
respect
of
men
,
the
renewed
mind
studies
to
be
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
as
publike
,
diffusive
and
universall
a

as
may
be
;
not
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
pragmatick
and
censorious
,
out
of
a
pharisaicall
vanity
;
but
in
a
serious
,
solid
and
primitive
way
of
piety
,
discreetly
reserved
,
yet
ingenuously
communicative
;
counting
it
a
halfe
and
defective
happinesse
to
save
it selfe
only
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}

For
all
other
things
in
the
world
,
it
is
mens
sapiens
,
i.
e.
cui
res
sapiunt
ut
sunt
;
The
renewed
mind
relisheth
and
judgeth
aright
of
things
,
and
accordingly
lets
out
its
affections
unto
them
;
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
it
loves
earthly
things
,
as
things
of
a
brittle
temper
,
and
when
they
are
broke
it
is
not
much
troubled
.
It
is
mens
quadrata
,
square
and
fitted
for
all
the
casts
of
that
the
world
calls
fortune
,
this
counts
Providence
:
ready
to
entertaine
any
occurrence
of
life
,
as
becomes
one
whom
God
loves
;
no
condition
befalls
in
which
it
finds
not
occasion
to
improve
some
grace
or
virtue
by
exercising
of
it
.
It
is
mens
immota
;
as
a
Rock
so
is
the
renewed
mind
▪
in
the
stormes
and
inquietudes
of
the
sea
of
this
world
;
wherein
others
are
tossed
and
overwhelmed
,
its
firmnesse
and
constancy
the
more
appeares
:
Ponderibus
librata
suis
:
so
balanced
and
setled
upon
its
weighty
and
serious
intentions
,
and
hopes
for
eternity
,
ut
si
fractus
illabatur
orbis
impavidum
ferient
ruinae
.
It
expects
the
greatest
troubles
and
comforts
from
within
;
for
all
without
the
renewed
mind
,
as
Noahs
Ark
,
when
the
old
world
,
men
of
old
,
grosse
,
and
earthly
minds
sink
to
despaire
,
and
are
drowned
in
a
deluge
of
their
owne
feares
,
This
is
then
raised
higher
,
and
by
faith
and
prayer
makes
neerer
approaches
unto
heaven
.
The
pulls
and
stresses
of
worldly
calamities
doe
but
fasten
the
anchor
of
its
hope
,
that
it
gets
the
better
hold
;
for
the
worse
things
it
finds
in
this
life
,
the
more
confidently
it
expects
better
in
the
life
to
come
.
It
is
mens
defaecata
;
shake
and
stirre
it
never
so
much
,
yet
as
a
cleere
and
living
spring
it
soone
recovers
its
setled
purity
,
and
discovers
nothing
faeculent
or
unsavory
.
Angry
,
but
not
sowred
to
malice
;
cheerfull
,
but
not
vaine
;
provident
,
but
not
distrusting
;
industrious
,
but
not
covetous
,
liberall
,
but
not
profuse
;
abounding
,
but
not
proud
;
advanced
,
but
not
insolent
;
learned
,
but
yet
humble
;
poore
,
but
yet
content
,
&
rerum
Dominus
nil
cupiendo
;
supplyes
its
wants
from
it selfe
,
but
cutting
off
its
desires
.
Its
joyes
and
comforts
are
not
that
(
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
)
superfluity
and
torrent
of
sensuall
and
worldly
joyes
,
which
as
a
winter-streame
soone
abate
,
spending
themselves
apace
,
and
besides
leaves
a
squallor
,
and
filth
after
them
upon
the
conscience
:
But
as
a
modest
spring
,
its
joyes
rise
and
run
in
a
secret
,
cleere
,
and
silent
streame
;
but
yet
fidelibus
aquis
,
constant
and
perennant
,
such
as
the
greatest
drought
of
affliction
cannot
overcome
.
In
a
word
,
the
renewed
mind
as
a
noble
streame
passeth
cleere
by
all
those
pleasant
things
which
worldly
minds
admire
,
and
are
detained
with
in
the
circular
eddy
of
their
owne
fancies
:
This
keeps
its
desires
within
the
banks
of
moderation
and
content
;
being
impatient
of
resistance
still
hastens
its
course
towards
its
great
Sire
,
the
Ocean
.
Irrequieta
est
anima
nostra
,
donec
ad
te
redeat
,
Domine
;
never
quiet
till
it
hath
attained
to
God
,
the
first
and
great
Mind
:
There
it
diffuseth
and
looseth
it selfe
in
the
vision
and
contemplation
of
his
immensity
and
perfection
;
where
being
united
,
it
enjoyes
God
,
Christ
,
and
it selfe
in
an
eternall
fulnesse
and
novelty
.
It
is
now
time
that
wee
looke
toward
a
Conclusion
.
Although
the
weight
and
beauty
of
this
Subject
be
such
,
as
might
well
save
me
the
labour
of
stirring
up
your
affections
;
presuming
that
I
speak
to
an
Audience
,
for
the
most
part
,
piously
learned
,
and
judiciously
devout
:
Who
,
I
hope
,
heare
your selves
rather
commended
,
for
what
you
have
already
begun
to
doe
,
than
either
taught
what
to
doe
,
or
taxed
for
being
wanting
in
a
businesse
so
well-worthy
your selves
,
and
your
best
endeavours
;
as
this
is
,
the
Renewing
of
your
minds
.
And
indeed
I
think
my selfe
happy
,
(
Reverend
and
the
rest
learned
Auditors
)
that
,
by
your
favour
,
I
have
this
opportunity
offered
me
(
which
my
owne
weaknesse
might
not
have
aspired
unto
)
that
is
,
To
recommend
so
serious
,
sublime
,
and
necessary
an
Argument
,
as
this
of
the
Renewing
our
minds
,
to
so
noble
,
so
learned
,
so
choice
,
and
considerable
an
Assembly
,
consisting
of
Minds
and
Spirits
more
elevated
,
enlarged
and
ennobled
than
ordinary
.
And
certainly
,
this
duty
of
renewing
our
minds
,
as
it
concernes
all
men
,
so
it
challengeth
the
practice
of
it
,
from
none
more
than
from
you
:
To
whom
it
will
bee
an
extreme
shame
to
bee
exceeded
by
others
in
piety
and
holinesse
,
as
much
as
you
exceed
them
in
learning
and
knowledge
.
O
Let
not
that
of
S.
Augustine
bee
verefied
of
us
:
Indocti
rapiunt
coelum
,
nos
cum
doctrinis
nostris
perimus
.
Poore
and
simple
minded
men
crowd
into
heaven
,
and
wee
with
all
our
learning
coldly
and
scarcely
creep
thitherward
.
It
will
bee
little
comfort
at
last
to
dye
with
those
words
,
Quantus
Artifex
pereo
?
The
fall
of
Angels
,
you
know
,
was
the
most
desperate
and
irreparable
:
the
cleerer
the
light
,
against
which
wee
sin
,
the
straiter
and
heavier
will
the
chaines
of
everlasting
darknessely
upon
us
.
It
is
not
learning
,
but
renewed
,
that
is
,
sanctified
learning
that
will
comfort
us
,
that
will
save
us
,
that
will
secure
us
,
while
wee
preach
to
others
the
way
of
life
,
our selves
shall
not
be
cast-awayes
.
The
new-fangled
and
phantastick
mind
indeed
despiseth
learning
,
;
but
the
renewed
mind
prizeth
it
,
seeks
it
,
and
useth
it
aright
,
with
humility
,
with
modesty
,
with
industry
,
with
the
love
of
truth
,
with
obedience
to
it
,
with
a
care
and
tendernesse
to
the
soules
of
poore
people
,
with
conscience
to
dispense
its
talents
to
the
glory
of
God
,
and
good
of
mankinde
.
Never
did
any
times
(
indeed
)
require
and
exact
more
of
learned
men
and
Scholars
,
than
these
now
doe
,
in
point
of
renewing
our
minds
,
our
lives
,
our
manners
,
to
the
paterne
in
the
Mount
,
the
example
of
Christ
and
his
holy
Apostles
.
The
faults
you
see
of
some
,
are
made
the
reproaches
of
all
,
by
the
rash
,
unjust
,
and
ignorant
censures
of
many
,
who
offended
with
some
drone
or
waspe
will
bee
revenged
by
overthrowing
the
whole
Hive
of
Bees
.
O
let
us
confute
their
errors
,
represse
their
insolencies
,
disarme
their
malice
,
and
if
it
be
possible
occasion
their
envy
,
rather
than
their
contumelious
pitty
,
by
a
serious
,
speedy
,
and
conscientious
following
this
precept
,
and
the
example
too
;
which
is
most
noble
and
imitable
in
this
great
Apostle
S.
Paul
;
whose
renewed
mind
had
learned
in
all
estates
to
bee
content
,
to
count
Godlinesse
great
gaine
,
to
determine
to
know
nothing
but
Jesus
Christ
and
him
crucified
,
to
glory
in
the
crosse
of
Christ
,
to
esteeme
all
worldly
wisedome
vaine
,
and
foolishnesse
,
without
the
knowledge
of
God
in
Christ
,
to
live
with
all
good
conscience
before
God
and
men
.
This
,
this
method
of
renewing
our
minds
and
lives
to
piety
,
holinesse
,
humility
and
contentednesse
,
will
undoubtedly
renew
upon
us
,
the
love
and
favour
,
the
honour
and
integrity
of
learning
.
It
is
certaine
the
world
cannot
want
us
,
except
they
will
be
wanting
to
themselves
,
in
the
most
sordid
,
supine
and
brutish
negligence
that
can
be
.
It
defends
upon
us
what
opinion
and
esteeme
men
shall
have
of
us
.
Wee
shall
easily
overcome
all
the
difficulties
and
indignities
of
these
times
,
if
wee
can
but
overcome
our
hearts
to
this
sacred
renovation
,
which
will
render
us
accepted
and
honoured
both
of
God
,
and
of
all
wise
,
learned
and
good
men
;
whose
wisedome
and
justice
,
no
doubt
,
will
as
they
ought
discerne
betweene
the
just
punishment
of
some
,
and
the
noble
encouragement
of
others
;
nor
suffer
the
displeasure
against
some
mens
abuse
of
things
to
swallow
up
the
lawfull
,
just
,
and
commendable
use
of
them
.
For
the
ignorant
,
brutish
and
impertinent
clamours
of
others
,
your
only
way
is
to
let
them
weary
themselves
,
with
their
owne
oblatrations
;
while
you
,
as
the
cleere
moone
in
a
spheare
above
them
,
neither
alter
the
constancy
of
your
course
in
learned
studies
,
nor
abate
ought
of
the
splendor
of
your
manners
,
in
a
renewed
,
that
is
,
a
sanctified
life
and
conversation
.
You
know
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
mind
is
the
man
of
the
man
;
how
much
more
of
a
Christian
,
who
should
farre
exceed
all
other
men
,
having
relation
to
a
Saviour
,
that
is
God
as
well
as
man
?
By
our
bodies
wee
live
beasts
,
by
our
minds
men
,
by
renewed
minds
Christians
,
by
perfected
minds
Saints
.
The
minds
improvement
is
the
maine
,
which
God
,
Christ
,
and
Religion
intend
in
us
;
and
shall
wee
bee
incurious
?
ut
animam
serves
nonne
expergisceris
?
All
other
things
in
the
world
,
God
so
little
considers
,
that
hee
will
one
day
destroy
them
,
but
hee
will
make
up
his
Jewels
.
There
is
nothing
God
esteemes
but
man
,
nor
in
man
but
the
minde
,
nor
the
minde
till
renewed
to
holinesse
.
The
Lord
delights
not
in
any
mans
legs
,
no
nor
in
any
mans
strength
,
beauty
,
haire
or
outside
,
which
are
the
leaven
which
puffes
up
vaine
and
small
minds
;
no
,
nor
in
thy
wit
,
learning
,
acutenesse
,
eloquence
,
&c.
but
hee
looks
at
the
ornaments
of
a
renewed
,
a
holy
and
humble
minde
;
this
hee
requires
as
a
gift
worthy
of
his
prizing
and
acceptance
.

It
matters
not
how
meane
thy
drop
or
mite
bee
which
thou
offerest
to
God
,
provided
thou
present
it
with
an

retyred

are
allwayes
digested
to
so
holy
and
just
a
temper
,
as
becomes
God
the
Receiver

The
renewed
mind
is
no
other
but
Bethel
,
the
house
and

wherein
God
will
dwell

even
the
high
and

Our

And

What

Consider
,
the
maine
comfort
of
a
Christians
life
is
the
commerce
with
pure
Minds
,
Spirits
,
and
Intelligences
,
as
God
,
the
Angels
,
and
Saints
.
And
not
only
have
wee
to
doe
with
good
spirits
,
but
also
with
evill
,
which
wee
call
devills
;
which
are
impure
and
discontented
minds
,
whose
endeavour
is
to
continue
our
minds
and
spirits
perverse
,
blind
,
and
depraved
:
It
being
their
envy
,
that
mankind
,
which
is
of
an
inferiour
make
to
them
,
should
have
meanes
of
renewing
,
which
are
denyed
them
.
As
God
and
Christs
Kingdome
is
chiefly
that
in
the
spirits
and
minds
of
men
,
which
hee
secretly
,
but
most
sweetly
and
effectually
,
governes
in
those
that
are
his
;
so
the
Devills
chiefe
usurpation
and
tyranny
is
there
;
secret
and

but

violently
ruling
in
the
minds

seeking
by
infinite
stratagems
and
methods
to
corrupt
the
best
and
ablest
minds
to
the
same
desperate
state
,
to
which
hee
is
irrecoverably
falne
.
Therefore
wee
pray
that
Gods
Spirit
would
be
with
our
spirits
;
for
there
is
no
such
judgement
and
misery
,
as
to
bee
left
to
a
mans
owne
minde
,
to
bee
led
by
his
owne
spirit
,
which
will
certainly
mis-lead
him
.
Men
commonly
pretend
to
magnanimity
,
to
generous
minds
and
great
spirits
.
O
consider
it
is
not
a
great
spirit
,
in
the
worlds
sense
,
but
a
good
one
God
esteemes
.
The
meek
,
lowly
,
and
quiet
spirit
is
greatest
in
Gods
account
,
and
next
to
his
advancing
.
That
mind
is
truly
great
,
which
is
more
impatient
of
a
sin
in
it selfe
,
than
of
an
injury
from
another
;
and
takes
the
severest
revenge
of
it selfe
.
There
is
a
greatnesse
the
world
applauds
,
which
infinitely
lessens
a
Christian
mind
:
Dum
magnitudinem
animi
peccandi
licentia
metiuntur
,
while
men
measure
the
greatnesse
of
their
minds
,
by
their
boldnesse
and
daring
to
sin
.
Such
minds
,
as
Comets
(
which
are
portenta
irae
Dei
)
the
higher
and
greater
they
are
,
the
more
malignant
influence
they
diffuse
on
the
inferiour
world
,
by
the
contagion
of
their
example
.
Wee
esteeme
breeding
,
learning
,
and
civility
,
whereby
the
naturall
rudenesse
of
a
mans
mind
and
manners
is
pared
off
,
and
hee
becomes
tild
and
polished
for
the
best
society
:
Certainly
those
are
the
best
bred
and
most
adorned
minds
,
who
know
to
pay
due
respects
,
not
to
men
so
much
as
,
to
their
owne
soules
,
and
above
all
to
God
,
to
whom
wee
owe
the
greatest
obligations
;
wherein
to
be
wanting
is
extreme
rudenesse
,
and
not
so
much
incivility
,
as
brutishnesse
;
for
nothing
is
more
humane
than
piety
.
Incipiat
ergo
tandem
aliqua
tui
dignatio
esse
apud
te
:
mentem
suspice
:
O
begin
at
length
to
reverence
thy
sefe
,
to
respect
thy
mind
above
all
things
under
heaven
.
Wee
are
prone
to
admire
stately
buildings
,
elegant
pictures
,
elaborate
pieces
of
art
and
humane
invention
;
In
these
wee
magnifie
the
skill
and
ingenuity
of
the
worker
;
and
here
our
low
and
narrow
thoughts
are
stopt
and
bounded
.
O
rise
higher
;
goe
beyond
all
these
,
to
the
Maker
of
these
makers
,
that
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
God
.
Consider
those
unparallel'd
pieces
of
heaven
,
of
earth
,
of
the
sea
,
the
Sun
,
&c.
above
all
,
thy selfe
;
in
thee
,
thy
soule
;
in
thy
soule
thy
mind
;
which
is
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
;
caput
operis
;
Gods
Master-piece
;
in
respect
of
which
all
creatures
are
inconsiderable
to
God
and
the
renewed
mind
.
In
other
things
wee
seek
to
content
our
senses
and
appetites
,
with
the
best
objects
they
are
capable
of
:
curious
pictures
for
the
eye
;
ravishing
musick
for
the
eare
;
exquisite
tasts
for
the
palate
;
fragrant
sents
for
the
smell
.
And
shall
our
minds
only
bee
found
to
fasten
upon
small
,
vile
,
and
inferiour
objects
,
below
their
originall
and
capacity
,
which
our
very
outward
forme
and
stature
pointeth
unto
?
ad
majora
nati
,
immo
renati
.
Animus
excellens
omnia
tanquam
minora
transit
,
diis
cognatus
,
omni
mundo
&
aevo
par
,
ipse
sacer
&
divinus
:
The
most
if
not
all
things
in
this
world
are
impertinent
to
the
mind
,
and
farre
inferiour
to
it
;
and
one
day
,
as
He
brings
in
Pompey's
soule
(
ridetque
sui
ludibria
trunci
,
)
wee
shall
wonder
with
disdaine
to
thinke
how
much
our
minds
stooped
to
our
bodies
,
and
undervalued
themselves
.
Not
but
that
a
renewed
mind
may
consider
of
all
things
below
it
,
as
well
as
the
divine
mind
did
when
hee
first
made
them
,
and
still
preserves
them
;
but
yet
at
a
distance
and
in
subordination
;
let
none
be
in
chiefe
,
or
Rivall
to
God
and
thy
Saviour
,
or
thy
soule
.
The
more
the
mind
truly
knowes
these
sublunary
things
,
the
lesse
it
will
seek
or
prize
them
.
Magnus
animus
,
ut
solis
radii
terram
contingunt
,
at
interim
non
amittunt
,
nec
sordes
contrahunt
:
The
Renewed
mind
,
as
the
Sun
,
may
look
at
all
things
below
,
but
not
to
be
affected
much
with
them
,
lesse
infected
by
them
:
As
Solomon
did
,
whose
wisedome
remained
with
him
,
sublimitatem
suam
servans
,
still
keeping
its
distance
,
from
them
;
thinking
none
adaequate
or
fit
company
for
it selfe
,
but
God
,
good
Angells
,
and
good
men
,
who
are
or
have
minds
eternall
as
it selfe
.
Sacer
&
nobilis
animus
,
naturae
suae
memor
,
nihil
seipso
minus
amare
potest
:
a
renewed
,
i.
e.
a
holy
,
and
truly
ennobled
mind
should
much
forget
it selfe
,
if
it
should
love
any
thing
that
is
lesse
than
it selfe
.
O!
It
were
wisedome
to
begin
this
work
of
renewing
betimes
.
They
live
longest
and
best
whose
minds
are
renewed
soonest
.
Vitae
perit
quantum
peccatis
vivimus
,
so
much
life
is
lost
as
is
spent
before
,
because
it
is
mis-spent
:
while
the
mind
neither
knowes
nor
enjoyes
its
selfe
,
nor
its
Creator
,
nor
its
end
and
happinesse
,
but
lives
in
a
dubious
,
vaine
,
unquiet
,
disorderly
way
.
It
is
miserable
to
think
how
much
of
our
short
and
precious
time
is
raveled
out
in
the
vanity
of
our
minds
,
about
things
that
will
not
profit
us
in
the
end
,
before
wee
consider
to
what
end
God
hath
sent
us
into
this
world
;
before
wee
resolve
to
breake
off
our
sins
by
repentance
,
which
is
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
change
and
renewing
of
the
minde
.
O
brepit
non
intellecta
senectus
:
gray
haires
are
here
and
there
and
wee
consider
it
not
.
S.
Chrysostomes
advice
is
good
:
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
:
hast
thou
sinned
?
thou
hast
wasted
and
impaired
thy
soule
:
O
make
speed
with
teares
and
repentance
to
renew
it
:
As
David
prayes
,
Psal.
51.
Create
,
O
Lord
,
a
new
heart
,
and
renew
a
right
spirit
within
mee
.
Delayes
are
dangerous
,
where
the
opportunity
is
short
,
and
the
omission
irreparable
.
How
many
young
men
are
cut
off
in
their
proffers
and
essayes
to
amend
their
minds
and
manners
?
How
many
renewed
yeares
,
and
dayes
,
and
mercies
shall
upbraid
our
unrenewed
hearts
,
and
minds
,
and
lives
?
The
want
of
this
makes
the
thoughts
of
old
age
and
death
full
of
bitternesse
and
terrour
;
while
men
are
conscious
to
such
minds
still
in
them
,
as
are
in
no
sort
fitted
for
the
society
of
pure
spirits
,
Saints
and
Angels
,
much
lesse
for
the
presence
of
God
and
Christ
in
heaven
.
Wee
should
doe
well
to
consider
,
that
the
sins
of
our
bodies
and
senses
,
such
as
are
lust
,
voluptuousnesse
,
intemperance
,
sensuality
,
&c.
will
wither
with
time
,
and
decay
in
us
of
themselves
,
when
the
dayes
come
in
which
wee
shall
have
no
pleasure
.
But
those
sinfull
habits
,
that
spirituall
wickednesse
which
vitiates
and
corrupts
the
mind
,
except
by
grace
they
bee
put
off
in
this
life
,
will
continue
to
infect
and
oppresse
our
soules
to
eternity
:
Such
as
are
pride
and
unbeliefe
,
prophanesse
,
impenitency
,
hardnesse
,
want
of
love
and
feare
of
God
,
delight
in
sin
,
despising
of
goodnesse
,
and
the
like
;
these
follow
and
encrease
upon
the
soule
,
to
age
,
to
death
,
and
after
death
to
hell
,
where
is
no
possibility
of
renewing
.
This
Vestis
animae
(
as
Tertullian
calls
it
,
)
our
body
,
the
clothing
of
our
soules
,
is
daily
veterascent
and
mouldring
away
;
notwithstanding
all
the
art
wee
use
to
patch
up
our
obsolete
faces
and
withered
carkasses
.
O
let
our
minds
,
that
inward
man
,
as
the
Eagle
,
be
renewed
daily
:
Nothing
will
more
disarme
death
,
and
wel-come
old
age
,
than
when
the
mind
is
such
,
that
the
lesse
pleasure
the
senses
have
,
the
more
it
doth
vacare
sibi
&
Deo
,
enjoy
God
and
it selfe
.
The
more
infirme
the
body
,
the
more
lively
the
mind
growes
,
as
looking
at
its
liberty
and
enlargement
,
which
now
approacheth
:
when
it
shall
be
quit
of
these
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
chaines
of
mortall
and
sinfull
flesh
,
which
have
a
long
time
detained
and
depressed
it
,
below
its
sphere
;
and
as
a
mighty
Eagle
got
out
of
its
cage
or
coop
,
it
shall
instantly
surpasse
the
clouds
,
soare
up
to
heaven
,
and
make
its
nest
in
the
Sun
of
Righteousnesse
.
I
will
adde
no
more
to
perswade
you
to
this
duty
,
but
what
the
Apostle
in
his
patheticall
preface
to
this
doth
:
I
beseech
you
,
Brethren
,
by
the
mercies
of
God
,
that
you
bee
not
conformed
to
this
World
,
but
bee
yee
transformed
by
the
renewing
of
your
minds
.
Salus
ipsa
supplicat
ut
salvi
esse
velimus
:
Salvation
and
our
Saviour
entreat
us
to
be
saved
by
being
renewed
.
Quanta
pietas
,
quae
quod
potuit
imperare
exorare
mallet
!
how
great
condiscending
is
it
for
the
Spirit
of
God
to
entreat
that
which
he
might
command
!
Generosi
animi
faciliùs
ducuntur
quàm
trahuntur
;
Let
us
give
testimony
of
ennobled
and
generous
minds
,
that
are
easier
melted
by
entreaties
,
than
urged
by
commands
.
It
must
needs
condemne
us
of
obstinate
spirits
,
of
base
,
ungratefull
minds
,
if
wee
refuse
,
when
conjured
by
those
many
rich
,
free
,
full
,
preventing
and
eternall
mercies
of
God
.
They
that
refuse
to
heare
and
obey
when
mercy
charmes
and
entreats
,
what
voyce
can
they
expect
,
but
that
of
Justice
,
threatning
and
revenging
?
But
O
thou
first
,
great
,
and
eternall
Mind
,
the
Father
of
our
spirits
and
soules
,
enable
us
to
doe
what
thou
requirest
of
us
;
Thou
that
best
seest
our
decayes
renew
right
spirits
in
us
;
and
by
thy
word
and
Spirit
work
our
minds
to
a
conformity
with
thy
most
holy
,
pure
,
and
perfect
Mind
.
Raise
up
these
divine
and
immortall
soules
,
which
thou
hast
made
capable
of
thy selfe
,
above
the
vanity
and
emptinesse
of
the
things
of
this
world
,
and
settle
them
on
thy selfe
,
and
those
great
things
which
thou
hast
offered
us
in
Iesus
Christ
.
As
our
bodies
daily
decay
,
so
let
our
minds
bee
renewed
daily
;
that
instead
of
darkned
,
proud
,
vaine
,
worldly
,
carnall
,
depraved
and
corrupted
minds
,
wee
may
have
enlightened
,
humble
,
serious
,
heavenly
pure
,
holy
and
sound
minds
;
That
may
know
thee
,
and
love
thee
,
and
delight
in
thee
,
and
bee
united
unto
thee
by
faith
here
,
and
filled
with
thee
by
fruition
hereafter
,
of
thine
owne
immensity
and
perfection
,
in
that
happy
vision
of
Eternity
.
Amen
.
