AS
the
Text
of
the
booke
of
divine
providence
(
worthy
Reader
)
is
the
Church
and
Spouse
of
Jesus
Christ
,
for
every
line
,
word
,
and
letter
thereof
hath
a
necessary
relation
to
that
body
whereof
Christ
Jesus
is
head
,
so
the
draughts
and
passages
of
providence
towards
all
creatures
,
yea
to
devils
and
the
haters
of
Zion
,
seeme
to
bee
but
Annotations
in
the
Margin
of
this
great
volume
.
There
bee
many
wonders
and
depths
in
the
book
,
and
the
Lord
doth
even
before
our
eyes
in
this
old
age
of
the
world
create
new
things
and
miracles
in
Britaine
.
1.
It
is
most
congruous
to
divine
wisedome
to
time
fitly
the
laughing
and
the
weeping
of
the
children
of
men
;
the
triumphing
of
the
wicked
,
and
their
prosperitie
;
The
Sackcloth
and
teares
of
the
prisoners
of
hope
seeme
darke
and
mysterious
Chapters
of
the
booke
,
especially
because
wee
trade
by
the
senses
,
and
colour
of
things
,
for
wee
see
not
how
God
hath
set
his
enemies
in
slippery
places
,
and
that
the
throne
that
mysticall
Babylon
sitteth
on
,
is
made
of
Crystall
glasse
,
and
the
pillars
thereof
nothing
but
Saffes
of
ever-guilded
earth
,
the
Sonnes
of
God
would
not
exchange
their
teares
with
the
joy
of
the
wicked
.
O
that
wee
had
grace
to
read
to
a
full
period
,
and
with
the
sense
of
a
godhead
,
every
section
of
the
treatisc
of
providence
;
wee
doe
halfe
both
the
word
and
the
workes
of
God
,
wrong
reading
of
God
in
his
wayes
doth
spoyle
the
true
sense
and
scope
of
God
in
his
acting
.
The
light
of
faith
maketh
legible
to
us
,
that
The
vision
at
the
end
shall
speak
,
and
not
lie
,
and
that
light
is
sowen
to
the
righteous
;
then
the
harvest
must
be
hoped
for
,
and
wee
erre
not
a
little
,
if
wee
comment
any
otherwise
on
the
short
triumphing
of
the
wicked
,
and
the
joy
of
the
hypocrite
for
a
moment
,
even
when
his
excellency
mounteth
up
to
heaven
,
and
his
head
reacheth
unto
the
clouds
;
then
that
his
golden
heaven
is
not
onely
lined
with
silken
troubles
,
and
woes
,
but
also
that
hee
goeth
downe
to
the
grave
,
and
the
Chambers
of
hell
,
in
a
moment
.
2.
This
seemeth
darke
to
us
,
that
all
the
heires
of
one
inheritance
do
not
mind
and
speak
the
same
thing
;
yet
in
the
Apostolick
Church
there
hath
been
some
discord
,

more
love
,
lesse
pride
of
opinion
and
judgement
,
must
either
bee
in
these
kingdomes
,
or
then
wee
are
to
feare
that
God
must
worke
us
to
an
union
,
by
the
sword
of
the
common
enemy
,
wee
might
have
union
at
an
easier
rate
.
3.
It
is
a
mystery
,
but
it
is
also
from
the
Lord
who
is
wonderfull
in
counsell
,
that
truth
must
bee
trailed
through
floods
of
blood
.
4.
That
a
Church
is
greene
and
flowring
and
smelling
out
beautie
,
glory
and
life
,
in
the
flaming
fire
,
that
the
crueltie
,
policie
,
wisedome
,
counsels
of
nations
round
about
Britaine
,
and
so
many
bloody
men
within
our
bowels
in
the
three
kingdomes
,
doe
kill
us
,
and
behold
wee
live
,
troubleand
us
,
wee
are
not
distressed
,
perplex
us
,
and
wee
despaire
not
,
persecute
us
,
and
we
are
not
forsaken
,
cast
us
downe
,
and
wee
are
not
destroyed
.
What
a
living
death
?
what
a
breathing
and
triumphing
grave
is
this
?
what
a
shining
darkenesse
?
what
a
rejoycing
sorrow
is
here
?
5.
Wee
wonder
that
our
warres
are
not
at
an
end
?
But
Gods
thoughts
are
not
like
our
thoughts
,
when
God
hath
by
the
sword
taken
away
his
Jewels
and
his
pretious
ones
out
of
these
Kingdomes
,
it
is
rather
like
the
continued
burning
of
the
house
,
then
any
apparent
end
of
our
miseries
.
6.
Yet
after
the
Lord
hath
made
the
glory
of
Jacob
thinne
,
and
the
fatnesse
of
his
flesh
to
wax
leane
,
are
wee
not
in
silence
and
hope
to
beleeve
that
a
remnant
must
bee
saved
?
and
that
yet
gleaning
Grapes
shall
bee
left
in
the
kingdomes
,
as
the
shaking
of
an
Olive
tree
,
two
or
three
berries
in
the
top
of
the
uppermost
bough
,
foure
or
five
in
the
outmost
fruitfull
branches
thereof
,
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
?
Lord
,
hasten
his
worke
,
and
ripen
us
by
humiliation
and
turning
to
him
who
hath
smitten
us
,
for
the
day
that
the
Lord
is
bringing
forth
out
of
the
wombe
of
his
decree
of
peace
,
when
the
light
of
the
Moone
shall
bee
as
the
light
of
the
Snnne
,
and
the
light
of
the
Sunne
shall
bee
seven
fold
as
the
light
of
seven
dayes
;
Farewell
.
A
SERMON
PREACHED
before
the
Right
Honorable
the
House
of
LORDS
at
their
Monethly
Fast
,
June
25.
1645.
in
the
Abbey
Church
at
Westminster
.
Luke
8.
22.
Now
it
came
to
passe
on
a
certaine
day
,
that
he
went
into
a
ship
with
his
Disciples
,
and
he
said
unto
them
,
let
us
goe
over
into
the
other
side
of
the
Lake
,
and
they
lanced
forth
.
23.
But
as
they
sailed
,
he
fel
asleep
:
&
there
came
down
a
storme
of
wind
on
the
lake
,
and
they
were
filled
with
water
,
and
were
in
jeopardie
.
24.
And
they
came
to
him
and
awoke
him
,
saying
,
Master
,
master
,
we
perish
:
then
he
arose
and
rebuked
the
wind
,
and
the
raging
of
the
water
,
and
they
ceased
,
and
there
was
a
calme
.
25.
And
he
said
unto
them
,
where
is
your
faith
?
and
they
being
afraid
wondered
,
saying
one
to
another
,
What
manner
of
man
is
this
?
for
he
commandeth
even
the
windes
and
the
water
,
and
they
obey
him
.
Marke
4.
38.
And
hee
was
in
the
hinder
part
of
the
ship
asleepe
on
a
pillow
,
and
they
awake
him
,
and
say
unto
him
,
Master
,
carest
thou
not
that
wee
perish
?
39.
And
hee
arose
and
rebuked
the
wind
,
and
said
unto
the
sea
,
Peace
,
bee
still
:
and
the
wind
ceased
,
and
there
was
a
great
calme
.
40.
And
hee
said
unto
them
,
Why
are
yee
so
fearefull
?
how
is
it
that
yee
have
no
faith
?
Matth.
8.
26.
And
he
saith
unto
them
,
Why
are
yee
fearefull
,
O
yee
of
little
faith
?
then
he
arose
and
rebuked
the
winds
and
the
Sea
,
and
there
was
a
great
calme
.
THere
is
so
much
of
G●d
,
and
of
omnipotency
in
these
words
(
which
I
desire
by
Gods
assistance
and
your
patience
to
goe
through
shortly
,
at
least
in
such
heads
of
doctrine
as
may
bee
most
sutable
to
the
present
condition
of
the
Church
)
as
may
prove
that
God
being
sought
by
prayer
is
a
present
helpe
in
trouble
.
The
words
containe
six
particulars
.
1.
There
is
here
Christs
Sea
journey
with
the
convoy
;
secondly
,
time
;
thirdly
,
and
place
.
Christ
and
his
members
have
not
a
way
of
onely
dry
land
to
heaven
,
there
is
much
Sea-way
before
Christ
and
his
followers
,
ere
they
come
to
shoare
.
2.
We
have
in
the
Text
,
the
condition
of
the
ship
and
the
Saylers
and
passengers
that
are
carried
in
the
vessell
with
Christ
,
in
six
particulars
,
expressing
the
greatnesse
of
the
danger
by
reason
of
a
mighty
storme
.
First
,
there
is
a
behold
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
set
before
it
;
first
to
hold
forth
the
greatnesse
of
the
storme
,
Matth.
8.
24.
And
behold
,
there
arose
a
great
tempest
.
Secondly
,
to
note
that
creatures
as
winds
and
stormes
are
daring
and
bold
against
Christ
,
and
his
Church
,
God
permitting
them
;
wee
imagine
when
Christ
goes
to
Sea
,
hee
must
have
faire
weather
,
and
a
calme
Sea
,
for
how
dare
the
winds
blow
upon
the
faire
face
of
him
who
created
Sea
and
winds
?
But
Christ
sayling
must
have
a
mightie
gale
,
if
the
Prince
of
the
ayre
Satan
can
in
his
owne
spheare
and
parish
command
the
winds
.
The
second
circumstance
,
Mark
saith
a
great
storme
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
came
downe
;
it
is
contrary
to
nature
that
winds
descend
,
they
rather
ascend
;
this
saith
it
was
not
an
ordinary
wind
,
but
thirdly
,
a
whirlewind
,
Mark
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
such
a
wind
,
as
Aristotle
saith
,
is
most
dangerous
,
by
rolling
in
a
circle
with
violence
,
so
as
it
doth
in
Italy
and
other
parts
swallow
up
townes
.
Matthew
saith
it
was
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
a
great
tempest
,
a
Sea-quake
,
that
had
as
great
force
and
strength
as
an
Earth-quake
,
that
can
remove
Castles
and
Towers
out
of
their
places
.
Fourthly
,
from
the
effect
,
the
greatnesse
of
it
is
amplified
,
the
ship
was
filled
with
water
;
Chemnitius
observeth
as
the
waterpots
,
Iohn
2.
are
filled
with
water
to
the
brim
:
for
it
is
the
same
word
.
Fiftly
,
they
were
in
such
feare
,
that
the
Disciples
being
some
of
them
Fishermen
,
and
so
experienced
with
Sea
stormes
,
cry
that
they
perish
,
and
are
gone
;
when
the
Shipmasters
art
faileth
him
,
and
the
grayhaired
Seamen
goe
to
their
prayers
,
the
passengers
have
cause
to
bee
afraid
.
But
sixtly
,
that
is
not
much
,
there
is
a
good
Seaman
in
the
Ship
,
the
great
Lord
Admirall
not
of
the
Seas
onely
,
but
also
of
the
winds
,
is
here
;
Lord
Admiralls
on
earth
cannot
make
winds
and
faire
weather
,
all
shall
bee
well
,
the
Creator
of
Sea
and
winds
is
here
;
yea
but
hee
is
so
here
,
as
if
he
were
not
here
to
them
,
hee
is
fast
asleepe
;
God
save
us
from
a
Sea-storme
,
when
Christ
is
either
farre
away
from
us
,
or
sleeping
.
3.
What
course
take
the
Disciples
in
their
danger
?
first
,
they
awake
Christ
with
their
prayer
;
secondly
,
they
double
their
words
,
Luke
saith
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
master
,
m●ster
,
tutor
,
such
as
are
heads
of
Colledges
,
or
take
care
of
Orphanes
,
are
so
called
.
Christ
tutors
stormes
,
and
winds
,
and
Church
and
Court
,
and
all
:
Matthew
saith
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
Lord
,
which
signifieth
Christs
dominion
:
Marke
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
Master
,
for
(
if
he
can
,
and
what
can
hee
not
?
)
hee
'l
helpe
his
Disciples
,
so
they
put
an
argument
of
helpe
home
upon
Christ
from
his
office
.
Thirdly
,
they
complaine
,
Carest
thou
not
for
us
?
What
a
master
art
thou
,
who
sleepest
when
wee
are
in
danger
to
be
drowned
?
so
dreame
we
Christ
careth
not
for
us
,
if
he
deliver
not
presently
.
Fourthly
,
they
lay
the
danger
before
him
,
wee
perish
.
4.
Wee
have
Christs
present
helping
of
them
,
Matthew
keepeth
the
naturall
method
;
Why
are
yee
fearefull
,
O
yee
of
little
faith
?
hee
first
rebuketh
the
Disciples
unbeleefe
,
before
hee
rebuke
the
Sea
and
winds
.
Secondly
,
hee
spake
angry
words
to
the
Sea
and
winds
,
or
laid
a
strict
charge
on
the
Sea
and
winds
,
as
the
word
is
,
Luke
3.
12.
Luke
9.
21.
or
it
is
to
rebuke
with
threatning
and
authoritie
,
2
Tim.
4.
2.
not
because
Sea
and
winds
can
stirre
without
speciall
commission
from
God
,
as
the
Poets
fancied
that
their
Aeolus
could
boast
and
chide
the
winds
and
cast
them
in
fetters
,
but
this
is
to
expresse
the
absolute
and
invincible
dominion
of
Christ
over
Sea
and
winds
,
they
being
his
Apparitors
and
Pursevants
,
so
that
thirdly
,
Christ
(
as
Marke
saith
)
uttered
angry
words
of
authoritie
and
commanded
the
Sea
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
bee
quiet
,
peace
,
and
be
still
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
bee
muzled
,
it
is
borrowed
from
wild
beasts
or
dogs
that
are
muzled
up
that
they
cannot
devoure
,
so
is
the
word
,
1
Cor.
9.
9.
Thou
shalt
not
muzle
the
Oxe
that
treadeth
out
the
corne
;
it
is
a
hard
trope
,
and
holds
forth
to
us
the
Sea
as
a
devouring
beast
,
that
would
swallow
up
ships
;
so
Matth.
22.
34.
Iesus
stopped
the
mouths
of
the
Sadduces
.
5.
The
effect
of
Christs
rebuking
is
here
set
downe
,
there
was
without
more
adoe
a
great
calme
;
when
Christ
glowmeth
upon
the
Sea
it
dare
but
smile
and
bee
still
.
6.
The
fruit
of
the
miracle
is
here
,
the
Seamen
,
not
the
Disciples
were
stricken
with
wonder
and
astonishment
.
Now
it
came
to
passe
on
a
certaine
day
.
Touching
the
three
particulars
in
the
first
part
,
a
word
first
of
the
place
,
this
was
not
properly
a
Sea
,
but
a
lake
,
not
Lacus
Gadarenus
,
of
which
Strabo
saith
beasts
could
not
goe
through
it
,
without
the
losse
of
haire
and
hoofes
,
the
waters
being
so
pestilent
,
but
it
was
the
lake
of
Genesareth
,
through
which
Christ
and
his
Disciples
sayled
to
the
Gadarens
,
called
by
a
Hebraisme
the
Sea
of
Tiberias
.
Secondly
Christs
convoy
in
this
Sea-journey
were
his
Disciples
.
Seldome
was
Christ
his
alone
,
onely
when
he
went
to
a
mountaine
to
pray
,
as
Ioh.
6.
15.
and
in
the
garden
when
his
Disciples
would
not
watch
with
him
one
houre
.
But
ordinarily
his
Disciples
,
and
others
were
witnesses
of
his
doctrine
and
miracles
.
First
,
because
the
Disciples
were
to
bee
eye-witnesses
of
him
,
to
preach
by
sense
as
well
as
by
faith
,
1
Iohn
1.
1.
2
Pet.
1.
18.
And
this
voyce
which
came
from
heaven
we
heard
(
saith
Peter
)
when
wee
were
with
him
in
the
holy
mount
.
Sense
of
Christs
sweetnesse
in
Preachers
is
not
so
good
as
faith
,
but
it
is
more
excellent
then
hearesay
;
there
is
a
sense
of
faith
in
such
as
have
beene
in
the
Mount
with
Christ
;
I
beleeved
,
therefore
I
spake
,
2
Cor.
4.
13.
Sense
of
Christ
is
an
excellent
Preacher
of
Christ
,
Now
beleeve
wee
(
say
the
Samaritans
,
Ioh.
4.
42.
)
not
because
of
thy
saying
,
for
wee
have
heard
him
our selves
;
every
faithfull
pastor
is
not
onely
a
messenger
to
speake
tydings
,
but
a
witnesse
who
saw
and
heard
the
visions
of
God
.
Secondly
,
Crosse-bearing
is
not
easily
learned
,
Christ
had
the
perfect
art
of
it
,
Heb.
5.
8.
the
Disciples
must
see
how
straight
Christs
shoulders
are
in
walking
under
the
Crosse
;
to
learne
to
doe
is
no
difficill
thing
,
in
comparison
of
learning
to
suffer
.
Thirdly
,
wee
know
our
owne
weaknesse
best
in
conversing
with
Christ
.
Christs
beautie
and
fairenesse
casteth
a
shade
and
a
light
on
our
blacknesse
;
wee
are
all
faire
enough
while
wee
see
Christs
fairenesse
,
Esay
6.
5.
Fourthly
,
the
more
you
converse
with
Christ
,
the
more
you
partake
of
heaven
;
to
bee
with
your selfe
is
to
bee
in
ill
company
,
to
be
with
the
world
rubbeth
rust
on
you
,
to
be
with
Christ
leaveth
a
smell
of
heaven
,
and
a
die
and
colour
of
another
world
on
you
that
you
shall
never
rub
off
;
to
touch
perfume
and
sweet
oyntments
leaveth
a
witnesse
behind
it
;
none
can
preach
nor
suffer
,
but
such
as
have
beene
with
Christ
to
see
and
heare
;
you
may
bee
called
to
a
bloody
death
for
Christ
.
I
pray
you
aske
when
was
you
last
with
Christ
,
and
how
oft
was
you
with
him
,
or
was
you
ever
with
him
?
Thirdly
,
the
time
of
his
sayling
,
Marke
saith
,
in
that
same
day
when
the
evening
was
come
,
chap.
4.
35.
that
is
,
in
the
day
that
hee
preached
the
parables
,
you
have
Matth.
13.
it
is
like
hee
went
to
Sea
in
the
evening
,
when
hee
had
preached
all
the
day
.
Luke
saith
indefinitely
on
a
certaine
day
;
how
ever
there
is
no
waste
of
words
,
here
two
Evangelists
,
as
their
manner
is
,
doe
write
a
Diurnall
of
Christs
life
and
actions
,
they
chronicle
Christs
time
carefully
.
Whence
see
wee
how
well
Christ
husbanded
his
time
upon
earth
,
Act.
10.
38.
he
went
about
doing
good
:
So
in
his
message
to
Herod
,
Luke
13.
32
,
33.
Goe
tell
Herod
,
Behold
,
I
cast
out
devils
,
and
doe
cures
to
day
and
to
morrow
,
and
the
third
day
I
shall
bee
perfected
.
First
,
he
spent
whole
nights
in
prayer
to
God
,
Luke
6.
12.
wrought
miracles
in
the
night
,
at
the
fourth
watch
,
Matth.
14.
25.
yea
now
while
hee
is
sleeping
hee
is
making
way
for
a
miracle
.
Secondly
,
Early
in
the
morning
hee
taught
in
the
Temple
,
Iohn
8.
2.
and
while
hee
was
eating
hee
losed
not
time
,
but
preached
in
time
of
dinner
.
Luke
7.
38
,
39.
Luke
10.
39
,
40.
and
made
it
his
meate
and
drinke
,
when
hee
should
have
eaten
,
to
gaine
soules
,
Ioh.
4.
34.
Thirdly
,
hee
began
early
,
being
twelve
yeares
of
age
,
to
dispute
with
the
Doctors
in
the
Temple
,
and
died
preaching
and
praying
on
the
Crosse
,
Luke
23.
43.
44.
46.
Then
first
,
such
are
rebuked
,
as
know
not
well
their
time
,
Ier.
8.
7.
Yea
the
Storke
of
the
heaven
knoweth
her
appointed
times
,
and
the
Turtle
,
and
the
Crane
,
and
the
Swallow
observe
the
time
of
her
comming
,
but
my
people
know
not
the
judgement
of
the
Lord
.
Who
is
wise
to
know
when
God
is
watering
the
Land
with
blood
?
to
know
that
the
yeare
1645.
is
that
yeare
of
vengeance
that
hath
beene
in
the
Lords
heart
against
England
and
Scotland
?
This
must
bee
a
part
of
prophecy
,
which
the
people
knowes
not
while
God
reveale
it
,
Ezek.
7.
12.
The
time
is
come
,
the
day
draweth
neare
,
vers.
2.
Also
thou
sonne
of
man
,
thus
saith
the
Lord
God
,
unto
the
Lord
of
Israel
,
an
end
,
the
end
is
come
upon
the
foure
corners
of
the
Land
.
Secondly
,
it
were
a
right
timing
of
actions
if
the
honorable
Parliament
would
begin
not
at
the
establishing
of
their
owne
Liberties
,
Lawes
,
houses
,
but
at
the
building
of
the
house
of
God
;
the
Lord
hath
given
opportunitie
for
many
yeares
of
a
sitting
Parliament
,
and
there
is
not
yet
a
face
of
a
Church
in
the
Land
,
and
scarcely
is
there
one
stone
layd
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
;
men
say
,
it
is
not
yet
time
to
build
the
house
of
the
Lord
.
Thirdly
,
wee
have
not
knowne
in
this
our
day
of
the
Gospel
,
these
things
that
belong
to
our
peace
:
had
Tyrus
and
Sidon
,
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
seen
the
dayes
of
the
Son
of
man
,
which
England
and
Scotland
have
seene
,
they
should
have
repented
long
agoe
;
and
had
wee
improved
the
gratious
opportunities
of
mercy
,
our
peace
had
beene
as
a
River
,
and
our
righteousnesse
as
the
waves
of
the
Sea
;
but
now
wee
are
like
broken
men
,
unable
so
much
as
to
cast
up
our
accounts
,
far
lesse
to
pay
the
rent
of
the
Vineyard
,
when
our
Vine
is
as
the
Vine
of
Sodom
,
and
our
Grapes
are
Grapes
of
Gall
;
there
is
much
underhand
dealing
against
the
cause
and
covenant
of
God
;
wee
did
sweare
the
extirpation
of
Prelacie
,
Popery
and
Schisme
,
now
wee
preach
,
professe
and
print
that
libertie
is
to
bee
given
for
consciences
of
men
,
and
how
can
this
bee
denied
to
Papists
and
Prelates
?
not
onely
every
City
,
but
every
family
almost
hath
a
new
Religion
,
the
former
unreprented
wil-worship
in
the
breasts
of
men
,
against
the
power
of
godlinesse
,
vanitie
in
apparell
,
whoring
,
extortion
,
unjustice
to
widowes
and
Orphans
whose
husbands
and
parents
were
killed
in
the
warres
,
drunkennesse
,
excesse
,
lying
and
cousening
,
unjust
and
false
slanders
and
calumnies
,
trusting
in
the
arme
of
men
and
multitudes
,
halting
betweene
God
and
Baal
,
postponing
of
Christs
matters
to
the
end
of
the
day
,
as
if
Religion
and
the
house
of
God
were
of
lesse
concernment
to
us
then
liberties
and
civill
Lawes
,
and
as
if
both
kingdomes
miraculously
defended
by
the
right
arme
of
God
,
against
mercilesse
and
blood-thirsty
Babylon
,
were
not
more
obliged
to
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
who
hath
saved
us
,
then
that
wee
should
now
bee
debtors
to
our
owne
carnall
ends
,
divisions
,
rentings
,
emulations
,
sides
and
factions
;
Ephraim
against
Manasseh
,
and
Manasseh
against
Ephraim
,
though
the
children
of
one
father
:
all
these
and
many
other
sinnes
tesifie
to
our
faces
that
the
time
of
the
Gospel
hath
not
beene
fruitfully
improved
by
the
two
kingdomes
.
Fourthly
,
all
of
us
generally
faile
in
the
bad
husbanding
of
time
,
wee
are
a
dying
ere
wee
know
for
what
end
wee
live
;
imagine
a
master
send
his
servant
to
a
great
Citie
with
a
written
paper
containing
businesses
of
great
concernment
,
having
allotted
to
him
the
space
of
ten
sandglasses
to
dispatch
them
all
,
should
hee
for
the
space
of
the
first
nine
houres
fall
a
drinking
with
his
drunken
companions
,
and
goe
up
and
downe
to
behold
all
the
novelties
of
the
Citie
,
hee
should
break
trust
;
Alas
!
is
not
this
world
like
a
great
Exchange
?
our
Paper
containeth
the
businesse
of
a
great
kingdome
up
above
,
the
honour
and
glory
of
our
Lord
,
our
redemption
through
Christ
,
a
treaty
for
everlasting
peace
;
the
time
of
infancy
and
childhood
slippeth
over
,
and
wee
know
not
the
end
of
our
creation
;
youth-head
and
mans
age
like
a
proud
meadow
,
greene
,
faire
,
delightfull
to
day
,
and
to
morrow
hay
,
casteth
blossomes
and
flowers
,
and
with
one
little
stride
skippeth
over
our
span-length
of
time
,
and
wee
goe
through
the
Exchange
to
buy
frothy
honour
,
rotten
pleasure
,
and
when
the
last
houre
is
come
,
wee
scarce
read
our
masters
paper
,
we
barter
one
nothing-creature
with
another
;
alas
!
it
is
but
a
poore
reckoning
that
a
naturall
man
can
make
,
who
can
say
no
more
at
his
death
,
but
I
have
eaten
,
drunken
,
sleeped
,
waked
,
dreamed
and
sinned
,
for
the
space
of
sixtie
or
seventie
yeares
,
and
that
is
all
.
Time
like
a
long
swift
sliding
River
runneth
through
the
Citie
from
the
creation
,
when
God
first
set
the
horologe
a
going
,
to
the
day
of
Christs
second
comming
,
this
River
slideth
through
our
fingers
,
wee
eate
,
drinke
,
sleepe
,
sport
,
laugh
,
buy
,
sell
,
speake
,
breathe
,
die
in
a
moment
,
every
gaspe
of
ayre
is
a
fluxe
of
our
minuts
time
sliding
into
eternitie
;
within
a
few
generations
there
shall
bee
a
Parliament
of
other
faces
,
a
new
generation
of
other
men
in
the
Cities
,
Houses
,
Assemblies
wee
are
now
in
,
and
wee
a
company
of
night-visions
shall
flie
away
,
and
our
places
shall
know
us
no
more
:
and
though
this
should
not
bee
,
the
world
is
not
eternall
,
being
a
great
body
made
up
of
corruptible
peeces
,
of
little
dying
creatures
,
standing
upon
nothing
,
if
God
take
the
legges
from
them
;
at
length
God
shall
remove
the
passes
of
the
watch
,
and
time
shall
bee
no
more
,
the
wheeles
of
time
shall
bee
at
a
stand
.
What
poore
thoughts
shall
wee
have
of
this
poore
fading
ball
of
clay
the
earth
,
when
the
wormes
shall
creepe
in
through
face
&
cheeks
,
and
eate
our
tongue
,
and
seise
upon
Liver
and
heart
?
or
imagine
that
our
spirits
once
entred
within
the
line
of
eternitie
could
but
stay
up
beside
the
Moone
,
and
looke
downe
and
behold
us
children
sweating
and
running
for
our
beloved
shadowes
of
Lands
,
Fields
,
Flocks
,
Castles
,
Towers
,
Crownes
,
Scepters
,
Gold
,
Money
,
hee
should
wonder
that
reason
is
so
bleare-eyed
as
to
hunt
dreames
and
toyes
.
Judge
righteously
,
give
faire
justice
to
Christ
,
doe
good
while
it
is
to
day
,
consider
the
afternoone
of
a
declining
Sunne
,
within
few
houres
wee
are
plunged
in
the
bosome
and
wombe
of
eternitie
,
and
cannot
returne
backe
againe
.
Lord
teach
us
to
number
our
dayes
.
23.
But
as
they
sayled
bee
fell
a
sleepe
,
and

a

I
keepe
the

laid
downe

;
this
is
not

But
is
not
the
most
skilled
Seaman
in

here

dare
the
wind
blow
so
proudly
on
his

,
who
is
white

ruddy
,
and
the
chiefe
amongst
ten
thousand
worlds

do
not
the
Seas
know
their
Creator
?
and
dare
they
wet
his
face
,
who
made
the
Sea
and
the
dry
Land
?
Yet
from
the
greatnesse
of
this
storme
(
as
was
cleared
before
from

)
wee
observe
that
Christ

in

more
then

These
and
the
like
borrowed
expressions
,
hold
forth
that
the
storme
of
afflictions
was
terrible
and
loud
,
as
if
it
would
cleave
Mountaines
and
Rocks
,
and
there
must
bee
such
a
pressure
of
paine
here
,
as
if
you
would
take
a
living
mans
bones
,
and
make
fewell
for
fire
,
and
use
them
as
we
do
Faggots
;
and
not
that
onely
,
but
they
indured
as
much
heat
of
fire
as
the
hearth-stone
that
is
daily
under
the
extremitie
of
the
fire
:
so
the
Apostle
speaketh
of
himselfe
,
1
Cor.

For
I
thinke
God
hath
set
forth
us
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
last
Apostl●s
,
as
it
were
appointed
to
death
,
for
we
are
made
a
spectacle
to
the
world
,
and
to
men
and
Angels
.
The
Apostles
in
regard
of
their
great
sufferings
,
were
so
exposed
to
violent
death
,
as
in
the
Roman
Playes
,
Bulls
,
Dogs
,
Lions
,
were
set
forth
to
fight
one
another
to
death
;
they
were
made
worlds
wonders
,
and
gazing-stacks
to
heaven
and
earth
,
to
men
and
Angels
for
their
great
sufferings
.
Behold
how
strong
the
tempest
was
,
that
invaded
that
barke
,
that
carried
the
witnesses
of
Jesus
to
heaven
,
Heb.
11.
35.
they
were
tortured
,
stoned
,
sawen
asunder
,
tempted
,
slaine
with
the
Sword
.
The
reason
of
the
Lords
so
dealing
is
.
1.
God
declareth
himselfe
more
impatient
of
sinne
in
his
owne
children
,
then
in
the
wicked
;
I
meane
of
Gods
impatience
Evangelick
,
in
regard
that
it
is
a
sinne
of
higher
ingratitude
to
sinne
against
the
Gospel
.
2.
Illumination
.
3.
And
the
mercy
of
regeneration
,
then
to
sinne
against
the
Law
,
and
common
favours
and
gifts
;
though
Gods
legall
impatience
in
regard
of
revenging
justice
bee
farre
more
against
the
sinnes
of
the
wicked
,
then
against
the
sinnes
of
beleevers
,
it
being
an
act
of
vengeance
which
God
cannot
exercise
towards
beleevers
;
and
if
Antinomians
would
acknowledge
an
Evangelick
displeasure
and
anger
of
God
against
the
sinnes
of
beleevers
,
as
the
Scripture
doth
,

they
should
not
so
stumble
at
the
Gospel
as
they
doe
;
I
say
,
God
is
more
displeased
with
the
sinnes
of
his
owne
children
,
then
with
the
sinnes
of
the
wicked
;
even
as
the
husbandman
is
more
offended
that
Thristles
and
Thorns
grow
in
his
Garden
,
then
in
his
out-field
,
Esay

Heare
O
heaven
,
hearken
O
earth
;
why
?
it
is
more
then
an
ordinary
defection
that
moveth
the
Lord
to
this
.
I
have
nourished
and
brought
up
children
,
and
they
rebell
against
me
.
God
taketh
it
also
harder
,
that
violence
and
unjustice
should
bee
in
Parliaments
and
Assemblies
,
then
in
Prelates
Courts
and
High
Commissions
.
The
Lord
expecteth
nothing
else
but
sowre
grapes
from
his
enemies
.
2.
The
hell
of
the
godly
,
and
the
heart
of
their
hell
should
ordinarily
bee
heavier
then
the
borders
and
margin
of
the
hell
of
the
wicked
:
the
sufferings
of
the
Saints
in
this
life
is
their
whole
hell
:
wicked
men
have
here
a
heaven
,
and
but
fore-tastings
of
hell
,
which
I
grant
,
in
regard
they
want
the
presence
and
comforts
of
God
in
this
life
,
and
also
that
their
curses
are
in
themselves
heavier
then
the
afflictions
of
the
godly
,
but
not
so
in
their
apprehension
.
3.
Gods
deepe
counsells
worke
under-board
;
providence
is
a
great
mystery
:
why
these
three
kingdomes
having
a
good
cause
,
and
contending
for
Christ
,
yet
should
bee
put
to
a
more
bloody
condition
,
and
have
more
of
floods
of
blood
for
a
while
,
then
bloody
men
who
defend
a
cursed
cause
,
is
wondred
at
by
us
,
as
ignorance
is
the
cause
of
admiration
;
hee
that
never
saw
husbandry
,
thinketh
sowing
,
losing
and
casting
away
of
good
Corne
;
the
end
,
cujus
gratia
,
which
seasoneth
Gods
workes
with
wisedome
and
grace
,
is
unseene
:
hony
is
sweet
,
but
tasting
onely
discerneth
it
;
neither
eye
can
see
it
,
nor
eare
can
heare
it
;
our
senses
cannot
reach
the
reason
of
his
Counsell
,
who
will
have
the
godly
plagued
every
morning
.
If
it
bee
so
,
that
the
godly
,
the
greene
tree
suffer
such
a
fire
,
it
must
bee
more
then
fire
that
is
abiding
the
enemies
;
O
enemies
of
the
Gospel
,
O
Malignants
and
haters
of
the
Lord
and
his
Saints
,
have
you
Castles
and
strong
holds
to
runne
to
in
the
day
of
wrath
?
or
are
your
Castles
judgement-proofe
?
Cannot
death
and
hell
scale
your
walls
?
and
though
you
shut
your
doores
,
climbe
in
at
your
windowes
?
are
your
bulworkes
and
walls

?
have
you
strength
to
bide
the
proofe
and
shot
of
the
vengeance
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
vengeance
of
his
Temple
?
hath
not
the
second
death
long
and
sharpe
tuskes
?
will
you
indure
the
siege
and
batteries
of
everlasting
wrath
?
vengeance
will
have
nothing
under
your
pretious
soules
;
take
your
pleasure
,
kill
and
destroy
the
mountaine
of
the
Lord
,
the
feast
is
good
,
ever
,
till
the
reckoning
come
:
Job
28.

Can
you
drinke
a
Sea
of
vengeance
?
and
floods
of
gall
and
wormewood
?
there
is
a
Sword
before
the
throne
forbished
that
will
lap
and
swallow
up
blood
and
never
bee
quenched
:
wrath
,
wrath
creepeth
on
the
sinners
in
Zion
by
theft
,
without
a
cry
or
noyse
of
feet
,
you
heare
not
the
ratling
of
your
sunnes
wheeles
,
when
it
is
setting
,
and
the
night
falleth
on
you
;
the
day
of
wrath
is
secret
and
uncertaine
,
you
sleep
&
you
see
not
hell
at
your
heels
;
what
will
you
do
,
when
you
shall
make
your
prayers
to
the
hills
,
to
cover
you
quick
?
This
serveth
to
condemne
our
softnesse
,
who
love
a
wanton
,
and
a
smooth
providence
,
and
Golden
and
silken
sayling
to
bee
carried
away
quickly
to
land
without
wind
or
storme
,
wee
desire
to
goe
to
Paradise
through
no
other
way
but
Paradise
,
and
a
way
strowed
with
Roses
;
nay
but
wee
must
indure
hardnesse
,
and
resolve
the
way
cannot
bee
changed
to
flatter
our
softnesse
,
it
is
as
God
hath
carved
it
out
,
there
bee
not
two
wayes
to
heaven
;
one
way
strowed
with
blood
,
and
brimstone
,
and
deaths
,
to
Christ
,
and
another
to
us
white
,
faire
,
easie
;
heaven
was
not
so
feazable
to
Christ
,
but
it
was
to
him
sweating
;
if
Christ
had
taken
the
faire
way
and
a
street
to
heaven
like
Paradise
,
and
left
the
rough
way
to
us
,
wee
had
the
more
reason
to
complaine
.
But
it
should
silence
us
that
Christ
saith
;
you
have
no
harder
usage
then
the
Captaine
of
your
salvation
had
,
Joh.

when
wee
see
wee
must
suffer
,
wee
would
bee
at
a
chosen
Crosse
,
and
afflictions
carved
by
our
owne
wit
,
or
flowred
and
perfumed
with
Diamonds
and
Rubies
;
so
our
heart
saith
any
judgement
but
warre
,
and
any
warre
but
civill
warre
;
the
hatred
of
the
world
is
not
much
,
but
hatred
from
our
brethren
,
the
sonnes
of
our
Mother
,
O
that
is
hard
!
yet
it
is
not
to
bee
expected
but
the
flesh
will
warre
in
the
Saints
against
both
the
Spirit
and
the
flesh
in
other
Saints
;
no
lesse
then
the
flesh
warreth
against
the
Spirit
in
one
and
the
same
Saint
,
wee
are
to
kisse
and
adore
providence
,
wee
can
no
more
change
the
foule
and
dirtie
way
to
faire
heaven
,
then
wee
can
remove
heaven
it selfe
out
of
its
place
;
God
hath
drawn
and
moulded
the
topographie
to
heaven
,
and
set
all
our
Guests
before
;
hee
is
a
bad
Souldier
who
followeth
such
a
Captaine
of
salvation
as
Christ
,
weeping
and
murmuring
.
But
what
doth
this
ship
lead
us
to
?
certaine
it
is
,
that
it
holdeth
forth
to
us
the
condition
of
the
Church
of
God
,
tossed
with
wind
and
wave
,
and
the
world
it selfe
,
the
earth
is
a
Sea
of
glasse

by
its

The

secondly
,
in

As

all
are

for

The
Church
in
a
civill
relation
is
a
rolling
thing
,
and
that
first
,
as
it
is
in
Common-wealths
and
States
.
Kingdomes
and
Monarchies
are
up
and
downe
,
greene
,
flowrishing
,
and
withering
in
their
cadency
like
May
flowers
.
God
doth
roll
Kings
and
Kingdomes
like
Bowles
in
an
Alley
;
pride
,
tyranny
,
unjustice
putteth
a
Byas
on
the
Bowle
that
it
tumbleth
over
the
mount
,
and
God
with
a
put
of
his
foot
turneth
the
Bowle
out
of
its
place
;
the
glory
and
absolutenesse
of
men
is
a
weight
that
cannot
beare
it selfe
.
Secondly
,
man
the
best
of
the
creatures
is
a
vaine
thing
,
Psal.
39.
Every
man
at
his
best
state
is
altogether
vanitie
▪
if
the
Hebrew
expresse
it
better
(
as
I
humbly
conceive
it
doth
)
it
runs
thus
,
ver.
6.
surely
,
all
men
are
all
vanitie
,
even
standing
on
their
feet
,
or
every
man
is
every
vanitie
,
though
he
stand
on
his
tiptoes
,
or
stand
straight
up
,
as
a
Champion
or
an
army
of
Souldiers
that
stand
fast
and
keepe
their
ground
,
for
so
the
word
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
signifieth
as
the
learned
observe
,
vanitie
is
a
light
,
a
moving
and
rolling
thing
,
like
a
Cart
wheele
or
a
feather
in
the
ayr
.
Thirdly
,
the
Church
for
one
good
day
of
ease
hath
ten
,
twentie
troublesome
dayes
of
warre
,
persecution
,
divisions
,
heresies
,
plots
.
Reade
the
History
of
the
Judges
,
and
of
the
persecuting
,
yea
and
Christian
Emperours
,
and
you
shall
see
the
ups
and
downes
of
the
Church
,
they
had
ease
,
yea
and
court
and
favour
with
godly
Emperours
,
but
a
very
short
time
.
Thirdly
,
in
their
spirituall
relation
,
the
Church
is
a
moving
thing
:
in
that
,
1.
change
is
a
part
of
sufferings
,
and
suffering
and
the
Crosse
is
the
patrimony
of
the
Church
;
whereas
David
saith
of
the
wicked
,
Psal.
55.
19.
Because
they
have
not
changes
,
therefore
they
feare
not
God
;
Meab
is
not
moved
from
vessell
to
vessell
,
and
hath
not
gone
to
captivitie
,
therefore
his
tast
remained
in
him
,
and
his
sent
is
not
changed
,
Jer.
48.
11.
Secondly
,
the
Song
of
Salomon
sheweth
the
inward
and
spirituall
ups
and
downes
,
and
changes
of
the
Church
;
as
sometime
Chap.
2.
it
is
full
noone-day
with
the
Church
;
shee
being
taken
into
the
banqueting
house
,
and
Vers
.

his
banner
over
her
was
love
;
and
shee
is
in
great
Court
,
Vers
.

My
well
beloved
is
mine
,
and
I
am
his
,
hee
feedeth
among
the
Lillies
,
17.
till
the
day
breake
,
and
the
shaddowes
flee
away
;
but
there
is
a
change
of
Court
,
and
a
great
revolution
,
Chap.
3.
1.
By
night
,
on
my
bed
I
sought
him
whom
my
soule
loveth
,
I
sought
him
,
but
I
found
him
not
.
Againe
,
Chap.
4.
there
is
a
revolution
,
Christ
breaketh
out
in
a
high
commendation
and
praise
of
his
Church
,
Chap.
4
:
Vers
.
16.
there
is
a
prayer
of
hers
in
sense
of
love
and
heate
of
faith
for
an
union
;
Let
my
beloved
come
into
his
garden
,
and
eate
his
pleasant
fruits
;
here
the
ship
hath
faire
weather
,
and
sailes
faire
before
the
wind
,
for
Christ
answereth
,
Ch.
5.
1.
I
am
come
unto
my
garden
,
my
sister
,
my
spouse
,
I
have
gathered
my
myrrhe
,
with
my
spice
,
I
have
eaten
my
honey-combe
with
my
honey
,
I
have
drunken
my
wine
with
my
milke
,
eate
O
friends
,
yea
drinke
abundantly
,
O
beloved
;
this
is
a
joyfull
feast
betweene
Christ
and
his
Church
.
But
this
world
lasteth
not
alway
;
shee
falleth
asleepe
and
holdeth
Christ
at
the
doore
,
and
there
is
mightie
storme
that
tosseth
the
ship
,
and
a
sad
discourting
of
her
;
for
it
is
farre
otherwayes
,
Vers
.
6.
I
sought
him
,
but
I
could
not
finde
him
,
I
called
him
,
but
hee
gave
mee
no
answer
.
Grace
,
as
it
is
in
God
,
is
God
gracious
,
and
is
most
stable
and
unchangeable
,
but
it
is
various
,
as
it
is
received
in
us
,
who
are
made
of
changes
,
and
a
difference
there
must
bee
betweene
a
communion
of
grace
and
a
communion
of
glory
,
and
2.
betweene
this
life
and
that
life
;
as
for
the
former
,
glory
is
grace
in
everlasting
action
,
and
therefore
there
is
no
desertions
in
heaven
,
no
hiding
of
Gods
face
,
no
cloud
,
no
night
,
no
change
,
nothing
but
a
sunne
in
its
full
strength
;
alwayes
day
without
night
,
a
full
Sunshine
without
a
cloud
or
a
shadow
.
Grace
in
us
is
a
habit
,
and
not
alwayes
in
action
,
and
our
stabilitie
here
(
as
touching
the
other
)
is
Heb.
13.
Vers
.
14.
that
wee
have
no
continuing
Citie
here
,
but
wee
seeke
one
to
come
,
this
is
a
tottering
life
.
Secondly
,
the
ship
sayleth
in
an
element
called
a
Sea
of
glasse
,
all
things
here
are
fraile
,
slippery
,
brickle
like
glasse
,
it
cannot
beare
the
ship
above
,
no
more
then
a
board
of
glasse
can
sustaine
the
weight
of
an
huge
ship
,
but
it
should
breake
in
a
thousand
peeces
;
certainly
the
Church
subsisteth
by
no
worldly
strength
,
Christ
sayleth
with
his
owne
wind
,
then
it
it
is
a
Sea
of
glasse
mingled
with
fire
,
Rev.
15.
2.
There
bee
cumbustions
,
warres
,
tumults
,
motions
,
and
mightie
winds
in
this
Sea
,
that
that
may
bee
fulfilled
which
Christ
saith
to
the
passengers
,
John
16.
33.
in
the
world
you
shall
have
tribulation
.
Thirdly
,
all
the
safetie
of
the
ship
is
in
a
good
pilot
,
now
Christ
who
can
sayle
with
every
wind
,
and
bringeth
many
broken
ships
to
land
,
he
sitteth
at
the
helme
and
setteth
the
halfdrowned
ship-broken
passengers
on
dry
land
to
sing
on
the
shoare
,
Revel.
7.
14.
These
are
they
(
the
ship
broken
men
who
swimmed
to
land
on
Plankes
and
broken
boards
)
that
have
come
out
of
great
tribulation
(
out
of
the
Sea
of
glasse
mingled
with
〈◊〉
)
and
have
washed
their
robes
and
made
them
white
in
the
blood
of
the
Lambe
.
The
Ship
is
sayling
in
Britaine
now
in
a
Sea
of
blood
,
Christ
must
bring
her
safe
to
land
.
Fourthly
,
there
bee
three
excellent
vertues
of
the
anchor
of
hope
,
Heb.
6.
19
,
20.
first
,
which
hope
wee
have
as
an
anchor
of
the
soule
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
out
of
danger
and
sure
.
Secondly
,
it
is
tothed
in
good
ground
,
it
is
up
within
the
vaile
in
heaven
;
hee
must
shake
heaven
,
who
loseth
the
Anchor
.
Thirdly
,
Christ
the
forerunner
,
who
leapt
first
ashoare
,
and
as
the
first
begotten
of
the
dead
,
first
hanselled
heaven
with
our
fresh
,
hath
the
farre
end
of
the
Anchor
in
his
hand
.
Christ
strengthneth
the
Tackling
and
the
cords
of
the
ship
;
the
Church
a
ventruous
Pinnage
,
that
through
the
strength
of
Christ
ventures
thorough

I
will
come
againe
and
receive
you
to
my selfe
,
that
where
I
am
,
there
you
may
bee
also
.
Fiftly
,
the
pretious
pearle
of
the
Gospel
is
carried
in
this
ship
,
yea
Christ
who
holdeth
the
seven
starres
,
and
walketh
in
the
midst
of
the
golden
Candlesticks
,
is
in
the
ship
.
Bee
not
afraid
(
said
the
Emperour
to
the
waterman
)
th●u
carriest
Caesar
:
So
here
Christ
saith
to
the
shipmen
,
Bee
not
afraid
,
you
carry
the
King
of
Kings
in
this
poore
Barke
of
the
Church
;
indeed
there
bee
more
pretious
wares
in
the
ship
,
then
if
shee
carried
from
India
millions
of
Navies
of
Gold
,
and
shipfulls
of
Diamonds
and
Rubies
.
Sixtly
,
there
be
many
passengers
of
divers
qualities
,
of
which
I
speake
with
reference
to
the
times
;
as
first
,
some
greene
professors
beleeved
(
as
children
doe
)
it
was
but
a
play
to
bee
ingaged
for
the
good
cause
.
But
when
the
King
left
his
Parliament
and
made
warre
with
his
good
Subjects
of
both
kingdomes
,
they
then
became
to
bee
Sea-ficke
,
and
to
vomit
out
their
protestations
and
covenant
;
men
should
seriously
put
downe
in
paper
aforehand
what
it
will
cost
them
,
if
they
indent
with
Christ
to
follow
him
,
Luke
14.
28.
Secondly
,
some
ingaged
to
the
cause
and
embarked
upon
life
and
death
did
cast
themselves
in
the
Sea
,
thinking
to
swim
to
the
nearest
shoare
,
they
stole
away
from
Christ
,
and
cast
Cause
,
Gospell
,
Lawes
and
Liberties
over
board
to
save
themselves
,
but
hee
that
will
save
his
life
,
shall
lose
it
.
Thirdly
,
some
still
remaine
in
the
ship
,
but
as
Judas
did
with
Christ
,
waiting
an
opportunitie
either
to
play
a
game
for
Malignants
,
or
to
foster
divisions
betweene
the
kingdomes
,
and
divisions
in
the
Church
,
to
raise
a
mutinie
amongst
the
passengers
of
Christ
,
that
the
one
halfe
may
throw
the
other
over
board
in
the
Sea
.
Fourthly
,
Some
are
like
Jonab
,
downe
in
the
sides
of
the
ship
sleeping
;
these
are
indifferent
passers
by
,
Lament
.
1.
12.
they
'l
neither
sweat
at
the
Pumpe
,
nor
lay
one
finger
on
a
rope
,
nor
move
an
Oare
,
but
(
say
they
in
their
heart
)
Christ
is
a
good
enough
Seaman
,
if
he
will
not
guide
his
owne
ship
to
shoare
,
let
him
see
to
it
.
Fiftly
,
some
passengers
are
merchant
men
;
their
Sea
voyage
in
the
ship
is
to
gaine
,
to
buy
and
sell
Religion
,
and
live
on
the
winning
,
these
that
would
draw
in
to
themselves
gaine
from
the
publike
now
,
would
crucifie
Christ
for
his
coate
.
Sixthly
,
some
trusting
in
multitude
and
strength
thinke
by
hard
rowing
and
sweating
at
the
Oares
to
bring
the
ship
to
land
;
but
a
horse
is
a
vaine
helpe
.
Seventhly
,
sincere
professors
are
willing
to
stay
,
and
take
faire
or
foule
weather
with
Christ
,
to
sinke
or
swimme
with
the
Gospell
,
and
not
onely
to
stay
,
but
to
row
and
pray
.
Wee
cannot
but
see
winds
and
stormes
,
loud
and
mightie
tossing
the
poore
ship
in
Britaine
;
Pirates
and
robbers
have
made
stops
in
the
ship
by
plots
,
much
underwater
is
come
in
.
Eighthly
,
though
the
winds
be
strong
and
the
Sea
tempestuous
,
yet
the
port
is
sure
,
for
this
is
the
promise
of
the
Lord
who
sits
at
the
helme
,
Esay

11.
O
thou
afflicted
and
tossed
with
tempests
,
behold
I
will
lay
thy
stones
with
faire
colours
,
and
lay
thy
foundations
with
Saphires
.
Christ
can
saile
with
contrary
winds
,
yea
the
harbour
is
neare
;
Behold
I
come
quickly
,
(
saith
the
Lord
)
;
in
the
greatest
storme
that
ever
was
,
the
Church
can
see
the
shoare
and
dry
land
,

and
faith
in
warre
seeth
peace
,
and
in
shipwrack
is
assured
of
the
land
,
and
in
saddest
times
,
when
God
is
farthest
off
,
the
children
of
God
feele
the
smell
of
the
flowers
of

Wee
rejoyce
,
or
wee
leape
for
joy
,
in
tribulation
.
[
And
hee
was
fast
asleepe
.
]
Wee
are
here
to
consider
farther
of
the
condition
that
they
were
it
;
it
is
a
storme
,
but
Christ
sleepeth
.
First
,
a
word
of
Christs
sleeping
.
Secondly
,
of
his
sleeping
at
this
time
.
If
wee
compare
the
Text
with
it selfe
wee
shall
finde
,
hee
was
sleeping
,
who
can
neither
slumber
nor
sleepe
,
and
that
hee
is
waking
while
hee
is
sleeping
,
for
hee
who
is
the
mightie
God
,
the
Prince
of
peace
,
and
rebuked
the
Sea
and
the
winds
,
and
there
was
a
calme
,
does
not
sleepe
.
How
then
?
can
God
sleepe
?
hee
that
is
in
one
person
God-man
can
sleepe
.
First
,
because
in
this
rare
peece
of
our
redemption
,
Christ-God
took
all
our
infirmities
on
him
,
except
sinne
,
as
hee
tooke
our
nature
,
so
hee
tooke
our
condition
and
place
,
to
expresse
the
depth
of
the
love
of
God
to
mankind
;
the
lower
and
the
baser
our
glorious
redeemer
was
,
it
hath
the
greater
impression
of
love
.
Love
,
love
answereth
all
our
questions
of
wonder
.
O
way
of
life
,
why
wast
thou
wearied
?
O
bread
of
life
,
why
wast
thou
hungry
?
O
well
of
life
,
why
wast
thou
thirsty
?
Hast
thou
not
made
all
the
fountaines
and
all
the
Vines
in
Judea
,
and
in
all
the
earth
?
O
ancient
of
dayes
,
why
becamest
thou
young
,
and
a
weeping
infant
?
blessed
Jesus
would
become
a
workhouse
of
sufferings
and
infirmities
for
us
;
and
love
,
free
love
answereth
all
these
questions
;
for
us
,
for
us
sinners
hee
came
thus
low
.
Secondly
,
here
is
a
wonder
,
if
there
be
a
wonder
in
the
world
,
Christ
God
and
man
in
one
person
is
more
then
a
miracle
.
The
mightie
God
giving
infinite
subsistence
to
a
finite
nature
,
Isa.
9.
6.
Thirdly
,
here
is
an
able
and
sufficient
Saviour
furnished
to
us
,
one
who
is
more
then
a
man
;
why
?
there
was
not
onely
need
of
infinite
worth
and
merit
to
the
person
,
but
of
infinite
strength
under
the
sufferings
;
man
as
man
is
but
a
creature
,
and
all
the
Angels
in
heaven
and
a
world
of
worlds
of
new
created
Angels
could
not
indure
the
infinite
wrath
of
God
,
and
therefore
God
must
bee
in
this
play
,
unlesse
all
had
beene
marred
.
Qu.
But
the
Godhead
could
not
suffer
nor
be
a
passive
subject
of
suffering
,
God
therefore
though
bee
had
not
made
one
person
with
the
manhead
,
might
have
added
actively
strength
to
a
man
to
endure
and
suffer
all
that
Christ
suffered
.
Answ
.
It
is
true
,
the
Godhead
was
no
formall
passive
subject
of
either
infirmities
or
sufferings
in
Christ
,
and
God
might
have
added
to
one
who
is
only
man
possibly
strength
to
suffer
the
terrours
of
the
second
death
without
despairing
:
but
then
it
could
not
bee
said
,
that
in
that
case
these
sufferings
should
have
beene
the
sufferings
and
blood
of
God
,
and
so
of
infinite
worth
and
merit
.
But
here
all
strength
,
and
which
is
more
,
all
worth
and
merit
of
suffering
came
from
the
Godhead
,
which
may
bee
illustrate
from
two
comparisons
.
First
,
suppose
there
were
a
faire
rose
in
the
southest
part
of
the
earth
,
nearest
the
Sunne
,
growing
in
great
beautie
,
but
in
danger
to
bee
burnt
up
with
the
extreame
heate
of
the
Sunne
,
yet
if
wee
should
imagine
there
were
at
the
root
of
this
same
rose
a
cold
refreshing
Fountaine
and
Spring
of
water
,
sending
up
an
oily
and
lively
sope
of
life
to
the
rose
,
so
that
how
much
the
parching
heate
of
the
Sunne
consumed
and
wasted
of
the
life
and
greenenesse
of
the
Rose
,
the
fountaine
eternally
furnished
as
much
of
new
vigour
and
life
to
it
,
wee
may
thinke
if
the
fountaine
were
eternall
so
to
act
upon
the
Rose
,
the
Rose
must
bee
eternally
greene
and
never
wither
:
So
the
flower
of
Issai
,
Jesus
Christ
the
faire
Rose
of
Sharon
,
that
Lilly
of
the
field
never
planted
with
hands
,
that
blessed
man
who
was
a
sonne
without
a
father
,
though
the
parching
Sunne
of
the
infinite
wrath
of
God
,
for
our
sinnes
did
burne
him
,
and
looke
upon
him
to
consume
him
,
as
hee
complained
,
Psal.
22.
15.
My
strength
is
dried
up
like
a
Potsheard
.
17.
I
may
tell
all
my
bones
;
yet
the
blessed
Godhead
,
in
a
personall
union
,
was
like
an
oily
fountaine
at
his
root
,
that
contributed
the
active
influence
of
life
,
courage
,
vigour
and
strength
,
so
as
this
rose
could
not
but
grow
in
death
,
and
the
excellency
of
his
person
makes
the
sufferings
of
infinite
worth
.
And
even
as
the
Scarlet
and
purple
Curtaines
in
the
Tabernacle
cast
a
glaunce
and
lustre
on
the
golden
Mercy-seate
,
when
the
Arke
was
within
the
Tabernacle
:
so
the
purple
wounds
and
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
and
all
his
infirmities
received
an
excellent
sweet
lustre
,
worth
and
beautie
from
the
glorious
and
more
then
golden
Godhead
of
our
true
and
living
Arke
the
Sonne
of
God
.
It
may
also
bee
thus
cleared
,
the
Iron
wedges
of
Noahs
Arke
separated
from
the
Arke
,
and
cast
into
the
waters
should
sinke
to
the
bottome
,
but
being
fastned
in
the
Arke
they
fleet
above
the
water
:
the
manhead
separated
from
the
Godhead
should
sinke
under
the
wrath
that
Christ
did
sustaine
,
but
being
wedged
and
united
to
the
Godhead
,
in
a
personall
union
,
could
not
but
ride
out
against
all
the
stormes
:
O
blessed
bee
our
sure
Ark
.
Now
though
suffering
could
not
touch
the
Godhead
passively
,
yet
could
the
Godhead
actively
contribute
to
the
strengthning
of
the
Manhood
for
suffering
.
Hence
wee
are
to
conceive
if
Christ
the
Redeemer
,
Christ
personall
,
was
a
Standard-bearer
that
could
not
faint
under
all
his
sufferings
and
infirmities
,
Christ
mysticall
is
more
then
men
,
I
meane
the
Church
of
Christ
must
have
also
strength
against
all
the
persecutions
of
men
;
there
is
a
bone
in
the
head
of
the
Church
,
that
is
,
strength
in
Christ
that
cannot
bee
broken
,
malignants
shall
fight
against
Mount
Zion
,
but
shall
not
prevaile
,
there
was
never
any
victory
that
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
or
Satan
could
obtaine
against
Christ
,
but
the
bruising
of
his
heele
,
that
is
a
poore
victory
,
a
wound
in
the
heele
,
or
a
bleeding
heele
is
farre
from
the
heart
;
Malignants
are
but
drawing
blood
of
Christs
heele
,
in
these
bloody
warres
.
But
they
doe
but
thresh
the
waters
,
Christ
hath
indured
more
then
the
wrath
of
the
King
of
Britaine
,
and
beleeve
it
,
hee
shall
bee
victorious
and
shall
prevaile
.
If
Christ
be
such
a
wonderfull
one
that
is
God
no
lesse
then
man
,
it
is
neither
pietie
nor
good
policy
to
take
any
thing
from
him
that
is
his
due
;
if
Caesar
had
stepped
in
and
usurped
a
headship
over
the
Assembly
convened
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
Act.
15.
and
had
said
it
seemed
good
to
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
to
us
the
Roman
Emperour
and
Senate
of
Rome
,
to
injoyne
such
Lawes
to
the
Churches
of
Christ
;
and
should
put
the
name
of
the
Emperours
and
Parliaments
decrees
on
these
which
are
called
the
decrees
of
the
Apostles
and
Elders
at
Jerusalem
,
as
they
are
called
,
Act.
16.
4.
I
conceive
the
Apostles
would
have
called
it
a
wronging
of
Christ
the
King
of
the
Church
,
in
his
prerogative
Royall
,
and
an
abridging
of
the
freedome
of
his
Court
;
nor
was
it
ever
in
our
heart
to
teach
that
the
Christian
Magistrate
is
with
blind
obedience
to
execute
the
decrees
of
the
Church
;
for
this
poore
argument
,
if
it
have
any
nerves
,
as
it
would
cast
upon
us
the
doctrine
of
Papists
and
Jesuits
to
make
the
wayes
of
Christ
odious
,
it
hath
as
great
strength
against
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
;
for
if
Paul
or
any
faithfull
Pastor
preach
to
the
Magistrates
of
Berea
that
Christ
,
whom
the
Jewes
crucified
,
is
the
onely
Redeemer
and
Saviour
of
the
world
,
and
that
therefore
they
are
as
nurse-fathers
to
give
libertie
to
the
Servants
of
God
,
to
preach
this
doctrine
,
and
to
hinder
any
to
persecute
such
as
shall
preach
this
doctrine
,
yet
by
their
civill
authoritie
,
and
ex
officio
,
they
are
not
for
that
,
with
blind
obedience
to
receive
it
,
and
not
to
search
the
Scriptures
to
try
whether
that
which
is
preached
bee
agreeable
to
the
Scriptures
,
nor
to
take
it
upon
the
bare
authoritie
of
the
Preacher
,
but
they
are
to
search
the
Scriptures
,
and
obliged
to
beleeve
the
preached
Gospell
.
But
not
as
Magistrates
either
to
preach
themselves
,
or
to
judge
authoritatively
by
vertue
of
their
office
,
whether
the
Preachers
doctrine
bee
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
or
no
:
so
if
a
Synod
,
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
the
light
of
Scriptures
determine
any
thing
for
discipline
or
censure
,
the
Magistrate
as
hee
may
as
a
Christian
try
the
word
preached
,
so
may
hee
the
same
way
try
the
decrees
and
determinations
of
the
Church
,
and
not
take
them
upon
blind
trust
,
and
accordingly
punish
the
contraveners
as
a
magistrate
,
and
as
hee
is
the
Minister
of
God
that
beareth
his
sword
;
but
yet
hee
can
no
more
as
a
Magistrate
,
and
by
his
office
prescribe
such
ecclesiastick
Lawes
,
(
as
wee
have
Acts
15.
v.
28
,
Act.
16.
4.
)
unto
the
Churches
of
God
,
or
as
a
Magistrate
and
by
his
office
judge
them
unlawfull
,
and
forbid
them
,
then
hee
can
preach
the
word
,
or
say
,
it
seemed
good
to
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
to
me
who
beares
the
Sword
,
to
command
that
the
Churches
observe
such
and
such
Lawes
.
But
wee
shall
hardly
beleeve
that
the
honorable
Houses
will
take
on
them
supreme
authoritie
above
the
Assemblies
and
courts
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
or
that
they
will
give
occasion
to
all
the
Protestant
Churches
in
the
world
who
prayeth
for
them
,
to
write
against
their
proceedings
.
[
And
he
was
fast
asleepe
]
What
?
should
Christ
sleepe
now
,
as
Lonab
did
,
when
God
seemeth
to
bee
angry
with
all
in
the
ship
?
Nay
but
Christ
holdeth
forth
to
us
by
his
sleeping
,
that
innocency
and
a
good
conscience
can
sleepe
securely
amidst
the
greatest
calamities
and
stormes
,
and
not
bee
afraid
.
This
is
made
good
by
these
grounds
of
Scripture
;
as
first
,
God
hath
a
chamber
and
a
pavilion
to
save
his
owne
people
in
,
so
are
they
spoken
to
Esay
26.
20.
Come
my
people
,
enter
into
thy
Chambers
,
and
shut
thy
doores
about
thee
,
hide
thy selfe
for
a
little
moment
,
untill
the
indignation
bee
overpast
.
Secondly
,
God
not
onely
saveth
his
owne
from
trouble
,
but
also
from
the
feare
of
trouble
,
Psal.
3.
5.
I
laid
mee
downe
and
slept
.
6.
I
will
not
bee
afraid
of
ten
thousand
of
the
people
,
that
have
set
themselves
against
mee
round
about
,
Psal.
23.
4.
Yea
though
I
walke
through
the
valley
of
the
shadow
of
death
,
I
will
feare
no
evill
.
Thirdly
,
there
is
yet
a
higher
degree
to
which
a
good
conscience
can
ascend
,
for
Eliphaz
saith
,
Iob
5.
22.
At
destruction
and
famine
thou
shalt
laugh
,
faith
is
so
above
death
,
that
it
maketh
a
holy
sporting
at
death
,
1
Cor.
15.
55.
O
death
,
where
is
thy
sting
?
O
grave
,
where
is
thy
victory
?
It
is
much
to
looke
death
on
the
face
and
to
laugh
;
beleeve
and
triumph
.
It
is
true
,
the
Godly
are
fittest
to
bee
souldiers
,
and
faith
hath
more
true
courage
for
the
warre
then
thousands
of
men
,
yet
are
not
meanes
to
bee
despised
.
God
will
not
have
us
to
worke
miracles
on
the
warrant
of
our
owne
private
spirit
,
though
God
worke
miracles
himselfe
;
David
saith
,
Psal.
141.
7.
that
the
Lord
covered
his
head
in
the
day
of
battell
;
yet
hee
putteth
on
a
helmet
on
his
head
himselfe
in
the
day
of
battell
,
and
was
a
man
of
warre

There
is
reason
why
the
Saints
are
secure
in
God
,
in
the
greatest
calamitie
,
because
peace
with
God
maketh
peace
with
bullets
,
and
swords
and
speares

and
these
goe
well
together
,
Psal.

and
a

and

then
it

such
as

on
strength
O
arme

Lord
,
awake

in

ancient

in

now
the

for
the
judgement
that
thou
hast
commanded

But
why
should
Christ
sleepe
when
his
cause
requireth
hee
should
wake
?
Ans.
Beside
that
this
was
a
proofe
of
his
humane
nature
united
personally
with
his
Godhead
,
that
a
sleeping
man
was
God
who
could
command
the
Sea
,
and
the
winds
,
it
was
expedient
that
this
storme
should
rise
when
Christ
was
sleeping
,
for
it
might
seeme
to
arise
against
his
will
,
if
hee
had
beene
waking
:
or
rather
God
of
purpose
will
have
extreame
dangers
to
come
on
his
Church
,
and
hee
will
seeme
to
sleepe
and
to
bee
farre
off
,
to
waken
up
our
sleeping
faith
.
Hence
the
doctrine
is
,
God
will
have
his
Church
and
cause
to
bee
brought
within
a
haire
breadth
of
losing
,
except
the
Lord
arise
and
bee
onely
be
a
present
helpe
in
trouble
.
Consider
that
Christ-man
(
if
wee
lay
aside
the
decree
of
God
)
was
capable
of
drowning
,
stoning
or
any
death
as
well
as
crucifying
,
and
in
this
ship
was
carried
Christ
the
hope
of
heaven
,
and
all
the
ends
of
the
earth
,
and
the
eleven
Disciples
were
in
the
same
danger
,
they
had
a
word
of
promise
that
they
should
bee
his
witnesses
to
carry
the
Chariot
of
the
Gospel
to
all
the
world
,
and
to
subdue
the
nations
to
Christ
by
the
preaching
of
the
word
,
and
were
to
be
brought
before
Kings
and
rulers
for
a
testimony
to
all
nations
,
and
to
bee
scourged
,
killed
,
persecuted
of
all
men
for
Christs
sake
;
here
be
both
a
promise
,
and
prophecies
,
and
all
seemes
to
bee
losed
as
fallen
in
the
bottome
of
the
Sea
;
Christ
and
Apostles
and
the
ship
are
within
lesse
then
two
or
three
fingers
breadth
of
death
.
The
Church
was
at
a
low
ebbe
in
Aegypt
,
the
male
children
must
bee
drowned
in
the
River
,
the
life
of
the
aged
is
toyled
and
worne
out
of
them
.
Omnipotency
with
nine
heavy
plagues
cannot
get
the
people
of
God
freed
out
of
the
hands
of
a
Tyrant
.
God
must
step
in
with
immediate
omnipotence
in
the
tenth
plague
to
pull
out
his
people
with
a
stretched
out
arme
.
Moses
his
word
of
deliverance
and
Gods
decree
of
bringing
out
the
people
is
upon
the
extreame
banke
and
margin
of
perishing
:
Israel
hath
an
hoast
of
cruell
enemies
behind
them
,
and
the
raging
Sea
before
them
,
and
mountaines
on
every
side
,
here
bee
many
deaths
in
a
circle
round
about
the
Church
,
this
is
like
to
God
sleeping
and
the
wheeles
of
providence
at
a
stand
,
there
is
no
place
for
helpe
from
a
creature
except
immediate
omnipotency
break
a
gap
in
the
circle
,
and
divide
the
red
Sea
;
the
Church
of
God
is
a
field
of
dry
and
dead
bones
,
so
as
it
is
said
,
Ezek.

our
hope
is
losed
,
and
wee
are
cut
off
;
yet
wee
know
God
made
his
owne
word
good
,
Vers
.
12.
Behold
O
my
people
,
I
will
open
your

,
and

,

32.
36.
The
Lord
shall
judge
his
people
,
and
repent
himselfe
for
his
servants
.
But
when
shall
that
be
?
Omnipotency
is
good
at
a
dead
lift
;
when
hee
seeth
their
strength
is
gone
,
Heb.
that
their
hand
is
gone
,
and
there
is
none
shut
up
and
left
,
when
the
Saints
have
neither
hands
nor
feet
,
the
Lord
ariseth
:
for
Christ
can
saile
with
halfe
wind
,
and
play
about
and
fetch
a
compasse
,
yea
hee
can
sayle
against
tide
and

,
and
with
no
wind
,
hee
never
sincks
his
bark
,
nor
breaks
his
helme
,
nor
loses
a
passenger
,
nor
misseth
his
harbour
,
so
how
hopelesse
was
the
condition
of
the
Church
,
when
loving
Jesus
Christ
is
couched
under
a
cold
stone
in
the
grave
?
the
onely
hope
of
Davids
throane
,
he
who
was
to
restore
the
kingdome
to
Israel
is
gone
;
and
what
shall
the

of
God
now
do

utter

.
Omnipotencie
can
walke
in
the
extreame
and
out
most
margin
and
most
pendulous
banke
hanging
over
hell
,
and
not
fall
;
Christ
can
drive
his
Chariot
over
mountaines
and
rocks
and
not
breake
one
pin
or
wedge
of
it
,
poore
nothing
to
omnipotency
is
as
good
as
Speare
and
Shield
.
2.
Reas.
This
declares
the
depth
of
the
wisedome
of
Gods
unsearchable
dispensation
,
he
suffereth
malignants
to
ride
over
his
people
,
that
hee
may
perfume
the
worke
of
hell
in
the
enemies
,
who
are
,
as
it
were
,
skullions
to
purge
the
vessells
of
mercy
and
to
humble
them
,
and
may
instampe
their
Acts
with
supernaturall
events
of
faith
and
patience
;
malignants
plow
the
Church
,
and
sow
blood
in
the
three
kingdomes
,
the
father
of
Christ
the
good
husband
man
comes
in
to
breake
the
clods
and
the
fallow
ground
,
and
reape
the
crop
of
the
quiet
fruits
of
righteousnesse
;
and
it
is
depth
of
wisdome
to
consider
how
God
maketh
use
of
mens
sinfull
ingagements
having
chainzed
men
to
his
cause
,
and
carries
his
owne
holy
and
cleane
worke
of
reformation
through
many
foule
hands
and
durtie
intentions
:
so
when
men
thwart
and
crosse
Gods
will
of
precept
,
they
serve
Gods
will
of
providence
;
a
passenger
walkes
on
the
hatches
of
the
ship
toward
the
west
,
Sea
,
and
tide
and
winde
doe
carry
both
him
,
his
motion
and
ship
to
the
east
,
the
wisedome
of
God
the
Pilot
of
his
Church
overpowereth
mens
intentions
which
are
set
on
gaine
,
honour
,
factions
,
their
owne
by-ends
,
ease
and
pleasure
.
It
is
not
unlike
that
when
this
worke
now
under
the
Lords
wheeles
in
Britaine
is
come
to
a
height
of
extreame
desolation
,
that
wee
are
at
this
,
Lord
,
either
now
or
never
,
and
the
Sea
is
come
in
at
the
broad
side
of
the
ship
,
that
the
Lord
will
deliver
by
some
immediate
way
;
and
wee
see
feavours
come
to
a
height
,
and
then
decrease
and
coole
:
and
when
doth
the
Sea
turne
to
an
ebbing
?
not
while
it
flow
to
the
utmost
score
of
the
coast
,
and
then
be
fullest
;
seldome
doth
ever
the
Lord
deliver
his
Church
while
their
hope
be
gone
,
and
what
if
it
bee
so
here
,
that
Parliaments
,
Assemblies
,
armies
of
and
in
both
kingdomes
,
navies
,
shippings
,
treaties
,
victories
can
doe
no
more
?
and
then
the
Lord
arise
,
and
by
some
immediate
omnipotency
wee
never
dreamed
of
,
calme
our
Sea
,
and
bring
his
owne
ship
to
land
.
First
,
you
never
saw
creatures
doe
any
great
worke
,
but
something
was
left
to
omnipotency
and
to
God
onely
to
bee
done
.
Moses
led
the
people
out
of
Aegypt
,
but
hee
could
not
divide
the
red
Sea
,
and
that
was
their
way
.
Secondly
,
in
Gods
greatest
workes
immediate
providence
hath
had
hand
.
The
victory
over
Midian
had
more
of
Gods
immediate
worke
,
then
of
Gideons
Sword
in
it
:
this
truely
to
me
is
one
continued
miracle
that
these
1600.
yeares
,
God
hath
carried
his
ship
and
kept
the
passengers
alive
,
when
persecuting
Emperours
,
when
bloody
Babylon
,
when
Hereticks
,
Kings
the
hornes
of
the
beast
that
rose
out
of
the
Sea
,
fire
,
faggots
,
sword
,
torments
have
torne
the
sailes
of
Christs
Ship
,
broken
the
Mast
,
drowned
the
passengers
,
yet
wee
live
.
Joseph
is
blessed
,
but
when
hee
is
separated
from
his
brethren
,
then
blessings
come
upon
the
head
of
Joseph
.
He
was
fast
asleepe
.
This
is
the
saddest
circumstance
in
their
suffering
.
What
is
death
and
the
drowning
of
them
all
,
so
they
have
Christ
with
them
?
But
Oh!
Christ
to
their
sense
is
as
good
as
absent
;
for
hee
is
fast
alseepe
;
and
as
they
complaine
,
hee
careth
not
for
them
;
Christ
walking
and
working
for
a
soule
in
the
saddest
affliction
of
the
world
is
a
blessed
visitation
.
To
bee
in
heaven
,
if
Christ
sleepe
and
bee
not
with
you
,
is
a
hell
,
and
to
bee
in
hell
and
want
his
presence
,
is
two
hells
;
to
bee
sicke
,
and
the
onely
Physitian
Christ
will
not
come
at
mee
,
is
two
hells
.
Gods
watching
presence
,
first
,
bringeth
the
courage
of
faith
:
To
bee
in
the
midst
of
devils
,
the
beleever
having
God
with
him
walketh
without
feare
;
even
cold
death
that
king
of
terrours
walking
with
him
at
his
right
side
,
hee
hath
a
passe-port
that
will
take
him
safe
through
the
grave
,
as
these
places
prove
,
Psal.

8.
Secondly
,
God
is
not
present
with
his
owne
in
trouble
as
the
picture
of
a
friend
,
who
hath
much
love
in
his
heart
while
hee
stands
at
your
bed
side
seeing
you
goe
to
a
great
hell
through
a
little
hell
of
sicknesse
and
paine
,
and
cannot
take
off
you
one
graine
weight
of
sorrow
and
paine
.
But
God
is
in
a
farre
other
manner
present
,
Psal.
91.
15.
I
will
bee
with
him
in
trouble
,
but
this
is
not
all
,
I
will
deliver
him
,
Esay
43.
2.
when
thou
passest
through
the
waters
,
I
will
be
with
thee
,
and
through
the
Rivers
,
they
shall
not
overflow
thee
,
when
thou
walkest
through
the
fire
,
thou
shalt
not
be
burnt
;
nor
is
Christ
in
trouble
like
our
Summer-friends
who
in
a
great
drough
dry
up
.
But
may
not
God
be
with
his
own
,
though
they
be
both
burnt
&
drowned
?
then
this
is
no
consequent
at
all
,
feare
not
that
the
fire
shall
burn
thee
,
or
the
waters
shall
drowne
thee
,
for
I
am
with
thee
;
yea
it
is
most
strong
,
this
presence
of
God
with
his
owne
in
trouble
maketh
God
and
them
so
one
,
by
Gods
union
of
love
,
(
for
Gods
love
to
us
is
infinitely
more
active
to
save
us
,
then
either
our
faith
and
love
to
him
)
that
the
fire
that
burneth
Jacob
must
also
seise
upon
God
,
according
to
that
,
Zach.
2.
8.
Hee
that
toucheth
you
,
toucheth
the
apple
of
his
eye
.
Thirdly
,
when
Christ
waketh
and
sleepeth
not
in
heavy
afflictions
,
his
love
is
so
in
action
,
even
while
hee
striketh
,
that
the
rod
falleth
out
of
his
hand
,
that
hee
1.
giveth
them
not
so
hot
a
fire
,
as
silver
,
and
2.
hee
acteth
love
and
mercy
on
them
in
their
saddest
time
of
suffering
,
and
marieth
them
at
their
lowest
condition
;
both
which
are
excellently
expressed
,
Esay
48.
10.
Behold
,
I
have
refined
thee
,
but
not
as
silver
,
I
have
chosen
thee
in
the
furnace
of
affliction
.
Fourthly
,
wee
may
adde
another
benefit
of
the
presence
of
God
in
afflictions
,
that
the
very
breath
of
Christ
is
sweet
,
though
hee
should
not
deliver
for
the
present
,
yet
the
smoake
of
hell
and
the
paine
of
the
furnace
is
so
perfumed
and
over-gilded
with
the
breathings
of
the
love
of
Christ
,
that
the
paine
of
the
furnace
is
allayed
;
this
is
witnessed
by
the
Martyrs
singing
at
the
stake
;
If
in
these
bloody
sufferings
wee
want
Gods
presence
,
how
miserable
are
wee
?
and
therefore
this
is
one
of
the
proper
markes
of
the
children
of
God
,
if
wee
can
misse
Gods
comfortable
presence
in
this
fiery
tryall
that
is
now
in
the
three
kingdomes
:
So
Lament

for
these
things
I
weepe

mine
eye
,
mine

runneth
downe

but
these
sufferings
are
but
the
materiall
object
of
weeping
,
there
is
a

cause
of

then

there

is

,
but
Gods
forsaking
is
sad

why
castest

why
hidest

wrath
is
not
so
heavy
as
the
meere
negative
absence
of

Because

God

left

O
terrible

the
Lord
is
not
with
us
.

And
they
came
to
him
,
and
awoke

.
The
third
part
of
the
text
containeth
the
course
they
take
in
their
trouble
.
It
is
good
that
in
their
trouble
they
agree
in
these
foure
.
First
,
that
there
is
a
great
danger
,
even
present
drowning
.
Secondly
,
they
looke
spiritually
on
it
in
this
,
that
the
face
of
death
is
so
much
the
more
awefull
that
Christ
their
deliverer
sleepeth
.
Thirdly
,
they
agree
in
judgement
that
Christ
onely
can
helpe
them
.
Fourthly
,
they
agree
in
practise
,
all
joyne
in
prayer
to
awake
Christ
,
and
by
faith
to
awake
him
,
and
set
him
on
worke
to
helpe
and
save
them
.
It
is
excellent
when
one
heart
and
one
mind
is
amongst
all
the
passengers
of
Christs
ship
,
especially
in
a
troublesome
Sea
storme
.

Canaanite
and
the
Perizite
dwelt
then
in
the
land
,
they
had
common
enemies
,
and
therefore
striving
was
unseasonable
;
holy
Joseph
(
when
his
brethren
was
in
great
distresse
,
falling
out
was
unseasonable
)
therefore
saith
to
them
,
Gen.
45.
24.
See
that
yee
fall
not
out
by
the
way
:
Alas
!
wee
are
in
great
trouble
,
and
yet
wee
fall
out
by
the
way
:
it
was
a
sad
time
with
the
Disciples
neare
to
the
time
when
the
shepheard
was
smitten
and
they
scattered
sheepe
,
when
Christ
said
,
John
13.
35.
By
this
shall
all
men
know
that
yee
are
my
Disciples
,
if
yee
love
one
another
.
Doe
but
heare
how
Paul
is
most
copious
in
arguments
for
this
in
one
Verse
,
Philip
.

1.
If
there
bee
therefore
any
consolation
in
Christ
,
if
any
comfort
of
love
,
if
any
fellowship
of
the
Spirit
,
if
any
bowels
and
mercies
,
2.
Fulfill
my
joy
,
that
yee
may
bee
like
minded
,
having
the
same
love
,
being
of
one
accord
,
and
of
one
mind
Psal.
133.
1.
to
bee
of
one
mind
in
love
,
is
the
fulfilling
of
the
joy
of
the
Saints
;
biting
and
devouring
is
a
hole
,
a
gap
,
a
great
blanke
to
the
joy
of
the
holy
Ghost
;
love
neighboureth
with
the
sweet
consolations
of
Christ
,
it
is
the
birth
,
a
fruit
,
an
Apple
growing
on
the
spirit
of
Jesus
,
Gal.
5.
22.
in
the
wombe
and
bowels
of
love
lodgeth
bowels
of
tender
mercies
;
pardoned
sinners
cannot
so
hate
pardoned
sinners
as
to
jeere
them
out
of
the
hearts
of
the
Saints
,
&
end
them
to
the
lake
of
Brimstone
.
Ps.
133.
Behold
how
good
,
and
how
pleasant
it
is
for
brethren
to
dwell
together
in
unitie
.
Many
things
are
good
,
as
workes
of
divine
justice
,
and
destroying
the
enemies
of
God
,
yet
they
are
not
pleasant
;
and
many
things
are
pleasant
that
are
not
good
,
as
the
pleasures
of
sinne
for
a
season
must
bee
pleasant
;
but
because
unlawfull
,
they
are
not
good
;
but
unitie
amongst
brethren
is
both
good
and
pleasant
;
now
because
striving
and
bitter
divisions
in
this
land
and
Church
are
so
sad
,
and
a
lovely
and
peaceable
union
so
necessary
,
give
me
leave
to
presse
this
a
little
;
the
motion
of
a
loving
union
were
desirable
.
First
,
because
our
Father
the
Lord
appeared
to
Elias
,
not
in
the
thunder
,
but
in
the
calme
voyce
.
Love
is
not
onely
from
God
,
but
1
John
4.
8.
God
is
love
,
and
that
in
all
the
foure
causes
of
love
:
See
how
much
of
God
is
in
any
,
as
much
of
love
and
meeknesse
is
in
them
;
love
is
the
breathings
of
heaven
,
love
is
the
aire
and
element
wee
live
in
,
in
the
highest
new
Jerusalem
,
1
Cor.
13.
8.
13.
The
redeemeds
breath
smells
of
love
,
and
love
hath
the
smell
of
another
world
;
it
is
a
flower
of
Christs
planting
,
the
blessings
and
prayers
of
the
good
husbandman
Christs
Father
came
on
the
flower
,
Psal.
133.
3.
The
dew
of
God
lieth
all
the
night
upon
the
leaves
of
the
flower
,
it
is
alwayes
greene
.
The
Church
is
a
house
that
is
builded
up
in
love
,
that
raiseth
the
wall
up
to
heaven
,
Ephes.
4.
16.
Secondly
,
Christ
our
redeemer
,
whose
wee
are
,
being
bought
with
a
price
,
is
a
masse
of
love
,
hee
hath
a
heart
very
hospitall
to
lodge
all
our
infirmities
;
when
hee
saw
his
people
,
as
touching
the
condition
of
their
soule
,
like
sheepe
without
a
shepheard
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
hee
was
bowelled
with
compassion
toward
them
:
Esay
40.
when
the
Prophet
speaketh
of
his
power
and
his
ruling
arme
,
hee
also
prophecyeth
of
his
meeknesse
and
bowels
of
compassion
to
weake
ones
;
there
bee
three
sorts
of
persons
in
the
Church
that
hee
shall
handle
tenderly
.
1.
The
simple
but
gratious
,
and
for
these
,
Vers
.
11.
hee
shall
feede
his
fl●cke
like
a
shepheard
;
hee
hath
the
heart
of
a
shepheard
who
tendereth
and
careth
for
the
flocke
.
2.
There
bee
young
ones
,
babes
in
Christ
,
and
of
these
it
is
said
,
hee
shall
gather
the
Lambes
with
his
arme
,
and
carry
them
in
his
bosome
,
two
excellent
sweet
expressions
,
hee
shall
not
throw
his
club
at
the
Lambs
,
nor
bee
froward
and
cruell
to
them
,
but
in
lieu
of
a
club
,
hee
shall
gather
them
with
his
arme
.
3.
And
as
for
the
young
and
weake
that
have
not
legges
,
he
shall
carry
these
in
his
bosome
;
the
bosome
of
Christ
is
a
seat
of
love
and
tendernesse
of
bowels
.
4.
There
bee
some
in
the
Church
that
want
not
their
infirmities
and
sinnes
,
and
have
legges
,
and
a
little
strength
,
yet
the
tendernesse
of
the
bowels
of
compassion
must
yeeld
them
,
some
Christian
condescension
and
accommodation
,
and
they
must
not
bee
forced
and
driven
roughly
,
Christs
Spirit
is
a
spirit
of
accommodation
,
Sir
I
le
make
you
in
despight
of
your
teeth
,
is
not
for
these
,
and
therefore
it
is
said
,
hee
shall
gently
lead
those
that
are
with
young
,
so
Esay

2.
Jesus
Christ
shall
not
cry
nor
lift
up
,
nor
cause
his
voyce
to
bee
heard
in
the
streets
,
Christ
hath
not
the
art
of
rayling
,
shouting
and
thundering
against
the
meeke
of
the
flock
.
Yea
Christ
rideth
and
triumpheth
in
meeknesse
,
Zach.

9.
his
horse
hee
rideth
on
,

it
is
spoken
to
him
,
Ride
prosperously

the

for

of
Jerusalem
.
And
Christ
chooseth
to
dwell
in
a
heart
paved
with
love
and
meeknesse
.
Thirdly
,
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
a
Dove
,
the
spirit
of
grace
is
a
gaul-lesse
and
gentle
spirit
.
Grace
,
grace
is
the
innocentest
thing
of
the
world
,
there
is
no
wild
fire
of
sinfull
wrath
in
grace
.
Bitternesse
,
rayling
,
jeering
,
persecution
with
the
tongue
,
outcries
against
Assemblies
,
Presbyteries
,
are
not
the
tooles
of
the
spirit
of
grace
;
yea
calumnies
,
salt
writings
on
either
side
are
not
from
that
spirit
of
Christ
which
hath
a
hand
to
wipe
teares
off
the
faces
of
the
mourners
in
Zion
;
To
all
raylings
,
all
bitter
mockings
against
Presbyteries
and
Assemblies
,
wee
say
,
wee
are
desirous
not
to
bee
driven
off
the
roade
way
to
heaven
,
but
to
goe
on
,
Through
honour
and
dishonour
by
evill
report
and
good
report
,
as
deceivers
,
and
yet
true
.
One
inch
of
a
good
conscience
is
rather
to
bee
chosen
,
then
a
thousand
yards
of
windie
credit
.
Meeke
Jesus
Christ
and
his
Apostles
used
not
such
a
stile
of
language
,
nor
is
such
Grammar
from
heaven
,
nor
smelleth
it
of
the
holy
Ghosts
pen
.
Fourthly
,
if
wee
bee
the
children
of
one
father
,
it
might
breed
strange
thoughts
in
our
minds
,
when
the
sonnes
of
one
father
Independents
and
Presbyterians
(
spare
mee
,
necessitie
,
not
love
of
factions
forceth
mee
to
these
tearmes
)
shall
sing
one
song
up
before
the
throne
,
to
him
that
liveth
and
reigneth
for
ever
,
that
wee
cannot
gather
heate
and
warmnesse
of
love
in
one
arke
,
and
in
one
Church
here
in
the
earth
,
pens
and
tongues
salted
and
steeped
in
the
gall
of
bitternesse
are
not
the
fruits
of
the
Spirit
.
Shall
wee
kill
and
devoure
one
another
all
the
day
,
and
lodge
together
in
one
heaven
at
night
,
and
can
wee
say
one
to
another
in
heaven
,
hast
thou
sound
me
,
O
mine
enemy
?
shall
there
bee
any
factions
,
any
sides
,
either
religious
,
of
Presbyterian
and
independent
in
heaven
,
or
nationall
of
England
and
Scotland
(
which
yet
differ
not
essentially
(
I
am
sure
)
but
onely
in
the
poore
accidents
of
North
and
South
)
and
yet
on
earth
wee
must
bee
at
daggers
,
at
rentings
,
divisions
;
are
there
two
Christs
,
because
two
nations
?
Fiftly
,
truth
is
never
victorious
by
persecution
;
now
the
Scripture
speaketh
of
a
persecution
with
the
tongue
,
Jer.
18.
18.
Come
(
say
they
)
let
us
smite
Jeremiah
with
the
tongue
.
Job
thus
complayneth
of
his
friends
who
never
put
violent
hands
in
him
,
Chap.
19.
22.
Why
doe
you
persecute
me
as
God
,
and
are
not
satisfied
with
my
flesh
?
then
tongue
persecution
is
an
eating
of
the
flesh
.
Sixtly
,
the
Gospel
which
wee
professe
is
a
Gospel
of
peace
,
wee
preach
warre
betweene
the
flesh
and
the
spirit
,
and
warre
betweene
the
womans
Seed
and
the
Serpent
.
But
oh
!
should
wee
preach
warre
betweene
the
Saints
?
wee
have
choyser
golden
chaines
to
tie
us
together
,
Ephes.
4.
4.
There
is
one
body
,
and
one
spirit
,
even
as
yee
are
called
in
one
hope
of
your
calling
.
5.
One
Lord
,
one
faith
,
one
Baptisme
.
6.
One
God
,
and
Father
of
all
.
Have
wee
need
of
Prelats
and
a
high
Commission
Court
,
and
pursevants
sent
out
to
hunt
us
for
praying
together
,
that
they
may
reconcile
us
and
unite
us
together
,
as
wee
were
all
one
within
these
few
yeares
?
Seventhly
,
the
more
grace
and
mercy
wee
have
from
God
our
Father
,
and
from
our
Lord
Iesus
,
the
more
peace
amongst
our selves
,
and
the
more
grace
the
more
compassion
toward
the
weaknesse
of
Brethren
.
Christ
is
an
uniting
and
a
congregating
Saviour
,
his
blood
and
his
spirit
soweth
and
needleth
together
the
hearts
of
the
lambe
and
the
Leopard
,
of
the
Calfe
and
of
the
young
Lion
,
Esay
11.
6.
Eighthly
,
the
Saints
of
the
most
High
are
stiled
the
meeke
of
the
earth
,
Esay
11.
4.
there
bee
no
meeke
creatures
on
earth
but
the
regenerate
.
Buls
and
Lions
fight
together
,
Lions
and
Woolves
pursue
Lambes
.
But
wee
have
not
heard
of
warre
betweene
Lambes
and
Lambes
;
Why
should
wee
strive
,
for
wee
are
brethren
?
how
unseemly
that
one
redeemed
one
should
hate
,
persecute
and
chase
another
redeemed
one
,
even
into
the
gates
of
heaven
?
Ninthly
,
are
wee
not
debtors
one
to
another
?
and
the
sum
wee
owe
is
love
.
O
what
a
spirit
of
accommodation
was
in
that
chosen
vessel
Paul
!
who
said
,
1
Cor.
9.
22.
I
am
made
all
things
to
all
men
,
that
I
might
by
all
means
save
same
.
This
is
Pauls
charge
,
Gal.
6.
1
,
2.
who
will
have
love
to
put
in
joynt
an
overtaken
sinner
,
in
the
spirit
of
meeknesse
,
and
so
it
is
,
love
doth
not
onely
beare
it selfe
,
but
also
the
burdens
of
our
brethren
▪
and
so
fulfilleth
the
Law
of
Christ
;
love
planted
by
Christ
is
the
Law
of
Christ
,
and
why
doe
wee
by
ruptures
and
divisions
labour
to
frustrate
the
end
of
Christs
prayer
,
which
is
,
John
17.
2.
I
pray
(
saith
Christ
)
that
they
may
all
bee
one
,
as
thou
Father
art
in
mee
,
and
I
in
thee
?
if
wee
bee
one
in
uno
tertio
,
in
the
heart
of
Christ
,
and
of
Christs
Father
,
why
but
wee
should
bee
one
amongst
our selves
?
yea
love
is
burnt
in
tender
feeling
and
compassion
with
the
very
smoake
of
a
brothers
house
that
is
on
fire
,
1
Cor.
13.
15.
Love
is
not
easily
provoked
;
it
is
a
pardoning
grace
,
and
hath
strong
shoulders
to
beare
the
madnesse
and
infirmities
of
a
fellow
heire
of
heaven
.
Love
thinketh
not
evill
,
love
must
abound
in
love
and
charitable
thoughts
towards
others
,
as
every
element
aboundeth
in
its
owne
spheare
,
it
thinketh
not
that
the
Saints
doe
hunt
for
a
dominion
over
Saints
.
6.
Love
rejoyceth
not
in
iniquitie
.
Cursed
bee
that
love
that
exulteth
when
malignants
prevaile
,
and
rejoyceth
not
when
the
cause
of
the
Lord
and
his
people
are
victorious
.
Love
rejoyceth
in
the
truth
;
then
love
is
wounded
and
sicke
when
heresies
and
sects
prevaile
;
and
sigheth
to
see
Altars
multiplied
,
and
that
many
false
Christs
and
false
teachers
arise
.
Wee
cannot
deny
but
God
hath
put
his
seale
to
the
ministery
of
the
servants
of
Christ
that
went
from
this
to
New
England
,
and
in
the
wisdome
of
God
they
saw
and
doe
see
,
that
libertie
of
conscience
is
no
remedie
,
but
physick
worse
then
the
disease
;
against
false
religions
;
It
is
now
off
my
way
to
dispute
.
But
I
know
certainly
a
negative
argument
from
the
practise
of
Christ
and
the
Apostles
,
because
they
stirred
not
up
heathen
Magistrates
and
Wolves
,
not
fathers
,
to
punish
false
teachers
,
is
not
good
divinitie
to
infer
libertie
of
conscience
;
for
in
their
practise
they
stirred
not
up
the
sword
of
the
Magistrate
against
extortions
and
rapines
in
publicans
,
nor
against
the
persecuting
and
killing
of
the
Lord
of
Glory
,
nor
against
sedition
,
incests
,
tyranny
over
the
Apostles
and
Christians
,
bribing
and
unjustice
used
against
Paul
by
Felix
and
others
who
were
subject
to
higher
Magistrates
,
and
many
other
scandalous
sinnes
against
the
second
table
;
any
might
inferre
libertie
of
conversation
in
matters
of
the
second
table
,
no
lesse
then
libertie
of
conscience
in
matters
of
the
first
table
,
if
this
argument
hold
good
.
But
the
doctrine
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
giveth
to
the
Magistrate
the
Sword
against
evill
doers
,
Rom.
13.
4.
but
teachers
of
false
doctrine
though
in
the
matter
of
ceremonies
,
are
evill
doers
,
Phil.

2.
and
they
pervert
soules
,
Act.
15.
and
kill
soules
,
and
subvert
whole
houses
,
and
make
their
followers
twofold
more
the
Children
of
hell
,

nor
did
wee
ever
dreame
that
the
bloody
sword
was
a
mean
of
conversion
of
soules
,
the
Gospel
is
so
the
onely
power
of
God
to
salvation
,
but
that
hindereth
not
but
the
Magistrate
is
to
restraine
by
a
coercive
power
the
man
that
teacheth
that
Jesus
Christ
is
not
true
God
consubstantiall
with
the
Father
,
because
the
Sword
ought
to
curbe
the
spreading
of
false
doctrine
,
it
followeth
not
that
it
is
a
meane
of
propagating
true
doctrine
.
But
of
this
more
possibly
in
another
place
.
Nor
doe
I
intend
the
bloody
sword
should
bee
drawne
against
every
different
opinion
holden
by
the
truely
godly
,
though
in

all
see
not

wee

Master
carest
thou
not
that
wee
perish
?
It
is
too
ordinary
for
us
,
because
of
the
greatnesse
of
the
stroake
,
and
no
present
deliverance
to
put
unkindnesse
upon
Christ
,
as
here
they
complaine
that
Christ
is
carelesse
of
them
,
because
hee
sleepeth
and
they
perish
;
few
of
the
Saints
have
ever
beene
in
extremitie
of
heavie
afflictions
,
but
they
have
uttered
hard
thoughts
of
Christ
,
Psal.

as
the
Prophet
in
name
of
the
Church
,
when
hee
was
troubled
and
his
sore
ran
in

night
,

saith
,
will
the
Lord
cast
off
for
ever
?
will
hee
bee
favourable
no
more
?

Is
his
mercy
cleane
gone
?
is
his
word

rotten
?
9.
Hath
hee
forgotten
to
be
gratious
?
hath
hee
in
anger
shut
up
his
tender
mercies
?
It
is
a
strange
word
,
Vers
.
7.
will
hee
bee
favorable
no
more
?
will
hee
never
put
forth
in
action
one
act
of
good
will
againe
?
for
the
word
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
is
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}

;
it

a
prodigious
thing
as
the

calleth
it

hee
was

,
as

and

complaineth
,
Vers
.
22.
For
I
said
in
mine
hast
,
I
am
cut
off
from
before
thine
eyes
;
and
wee
know
the
sufferings
of
Job
,
who
beside
his
other
agues
uttereth
these
words
,
Chap.
13.
Vers
.
14.
Wherefore
hidest
thou
thy
face
,
and
holdest
mee
for
thine
enemy
?
The
Reasons
are
:
First
,
extreame
afflictions
,
as
Physicke
,
stirre
up
both
the
good
and
the
bad
humours
,
they
make
legible
both
the
good
and
the
ill
in
the
man
,
and
which
of
them
is
the
predominant
;
when
the
fire
boileth
extremely
,
if
there
bee
a
scum
in
the
liquor
,
it
is
that
which
is
first
seene
,
yea
and
it
is
not
onely
the
vertue
and
strength
of
the
fire
,
but
also
of
the
gold
that
the
drosse
goeth
to
its
owne
place
,
if
it
were
all
gold
there
should
bee
no
separation
at
all
;
the
Disciples
here
put
a
false
Character
upon
Christ
,
that
hee
hath
neither
love
to
them
,
nor
care
of
them
,
they
double
the
word
,
Master
,
master
,
and
that
is
a
check
,
being
added
to
the
other
,
carest
thou
not
for
us
?
it
saith
1.
that
hee
is
worse
then
other
masters
,
better
serve
any
master
then
Christ
,
a
master
will
care
for
his
servants
,
so
hee
can
helpe
them
,
no
earthly
master
will
sleepe
,
when
hee
knoweth
his
servants
are
drowning
.
2.
They
object
his
sluggishnesse
,
carest
thou
not
for
us
?
hee
bath
neither
love
nor
respect
to
us
,
though
wee
have
forsaken
all
and
followed
him
.
Secondly
,
apprehension
putteth
a
bastard
glowme
upon
Christ
,
and
causeth
us
to
take
a
false
measure
of
Christ
;
Fancy
hath
strong
operations
,
especially
when
it
commeth
in
the
roome
and
place
of
faith
.
What
could
they
imagine
now
but
that
the
Sea
will
drowne
Christ
?
hee
had
said
to
them
,
hee
must
bee
delivered
to
the
hands
of
sinners
and
bee
crucified
,
or
then
,
hee
could
walke
upon
the
Sea
and
escape
death
,
and
would
let
them
goe
to
the
mercie
of
the
raging
Seas
,
and
perish
in
the
waters
?
now
this
was
a
belying
of
the
promises
of
God
;
Christ
had
both
decreed
and
said
that
they
behooved
to
bee
his
witnesses
,
and
to
carry
his
name
to
the
Gentiles
,
and
carry
the
chariot
of
the
Gospel
thorough
all
the
world
,
and
be
delivered
up
to
Synagogues
and
councels
,
and
bee
beaten
and
scourged
,
and
hated
of
all
men
for
his
names
sake
,
now
all
these
are
dreams
,
they
must
bee
drowned
in
the
waters
,
through
no
other
cause
but
the
negligence
and
cold
affection
that
their
master
Christ
beareth
to
them
,
though
they
had
preferred
him
and
his
service
to
all
the
world
.
Wee
are
beasts
under
great
temptations
,
and
phantasie
is
all
the
wit
that
leadeth
beasts
,
so
the
Prophet
saith
of
himselfe
,
Psal.
72.
22.
so
foolish
was
I
and
ignorant
,
I
was
a
beast
before
thee
;
and
why
a
beast
?
hee
had
said
in
his
heart
,
Vers
.
11.
how
doth
God
know
?
that
was
a
strong
dreame
:
hee
that
teacheth
man
knowledge
,
shall
bee
not
know
?
Psal.
94.
10.
and
Vers
.
13.
Verely
I
have
cleansed
my
heart
in
vaine
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
is
an
emptie
thing
,
and
our
word
smoake
or
reeke
seemeth
to
come
from
it
,
then
said
the
Prophets
imagination
,
it
is
as
empty
a
thing
as
smoake
to
serve
God
.
Thirdly
,
sense
is
strong
as
fancy
,
drowning
and
death
was
come
over
board
,
and
therefore
they
complaine
of
a
changed
and
sleeping
Christ
;
now
old
and
gray
haired
judgements
move
us
not
,
as
the
drowning
of
the
old
world
,
the
destruction
of
Sodom
with
fire
and
brimstone
,
these
are
gone
many
hundreth
yeares
,
therefore
they
affect
not
us
,
and
the
day
of
judgement
is
farre
off
,
and
where
is
the
promise
of
his
comming
?
say
the
scoffers
,
2
Pet.
3.
and
so
did
the
people
,
Ezek.
12.
27.
Sonne
of
man
behold
they
of
the
house
of
Israel
say
,
The
vision
that
hee
seeth
is
for
many
dayes
to
come
,
and
hee
prophecieth
of
times
that
are
afarre
off
.
But
when
death
is
at
thy
right
side
,
and
sitteth
upon
the
ball
of
thy
cheek
,
that
acteth
and
worketh
on
us
.
When
the
Sword
is
two
hundreth
miles
from
us
,
wee
take
no
care
of
it
;
but
if
the
enemy
were
comming
in
at
the
ports
of
the
Citie
,
and
wee
saw
them
burning
houses
,
and
killing
husbands
and
children
,
and
heard
the
crying
of
women
and
children
;
wee
should
then
bee
on
the
other
extremitie
,
and
cry
,
Christ
is
changed
and
cares
not
for
us
;
keepe
good
and
heavenly
thoughts
of
Christ
in
the
saddest
times
,
Psal.
22.
2.
O
my
God
I
cry
by
day
and
thou
hearest
not
,
in
the
night
season
I
am
not
silent
;
What
then
?
doth
hee
fall
a
chiding
with
God
?
doth
hee
say
,
Oh
,
God
is
changed
,
hee
careth
not
for
us
?
no
:
yea
the
contrary
hee
saith
,
Vers
.
3.
But
thou
art
holy
,
O
thou
that
inhabitest
the
praises
of
Israel
.
4.
Our
fathers
trusted
in
thee
and
were
delivered
;
say
in
the
mouth
of
hell
,
I
will
beleeve
,
as
Job
13.
15.
Though
the
Lord
should
kill
mee
,
I
will
trust
in
him
;
faith
liveth
and
breatheth
in
the
grave
,
in
the
throat
of
hell
.
How
sweet
is
it
to
heare
,
There
is
the
grave
of
a
buried
beleever
;
these
bee
the
ashes
of
a
dead
man
,
that
went
into
the
grave
in
faith
and
hope
as
Christ
did
,
Psal.
16.
10.
Beware
of
false
imaginations
of
God
in
time
of
trouble
.
Fancy
can
spin
out
and
forge
a
God
weake
of
memory
,
who
hath
forgotten
his
promises
,
Esay
49.
14
,
15.
wee
cast
behind
us
the
promises
in
the
day
of
trouble
;
yea
which
is
fearefull
,
often
when
wee
conceive
wee
are
praying
,
wee
are
but
chiding
with
God
,
and
not
farre
from
blaspheming
;
grace
in
the
day
of
trouble
layeth
silence
on
the
thoughts
,
wee
have
need
of
an
high
Priest
to
wash
our
sacrifices
,
and
when
we
have
prayed
,
there
is
so
much
sinne
in
our
prayers
that
Christ
must
pray
them
over
againe
,
as
it
were
,
for
hee
maketh
prayers
and
requests
for
us
,
Heb.
8.
25.
They
awoke
him
saying
,
Master
,
master

Prayer
awaketh
a
seeming
sleeping
God
,
and
puts
him
to
it
,
wee
cannot
take
a
better
course
in
trouble
then
to
runne
to
Christ
by
prayer
,
Psal.

Out

I
cryed

This
poore
man
cryed
unto
the
Lord
,
and
the
Lord
heard
and
saved
him
out

David
used
this
weapon
of
prayer
against
his
owne
sonne
Absolom
,
Psal.
3.
Faith
is
not
partiall
,
prayer
is
not

David
prayed
and
prophesied
his

destruction

7.
Arise
O
Lord
,
save
mee
;
and
hee
answers
himselfe
,
Thou
hast
broken
the
teeth
of
the
ungodly
:
A
praying
Army
must
be
a
victorious
Army
.
If
this
storme
had
not
risen
they
should
not
have
prayed
:
alas
!
wee
put
Christ
often
in
the
reere
;
or
wee
keepe
Christ
to
a
reserve
or
a
recrute
;
when
we
have
tryed
Physitians
for
twelve
yeares
,
and
spent
all
,
then
wee
come
to
Christ
,
when
wee
can
doe
no
better
.
There
is
much
deceit
in
bed-prayers
,
for
the
principium
motus
,
the
first
spring
is
extrinsecall
,
it
comes
from
the
rod
on
us
;
it
is
true
,
naturall
consciences
deaded
and
benummed
with
rubbing
doe
gather
warme
blood
,
and
are
stirred
up
to
devotion
and
fasting
,
and
praying
in
the
spirit
,
and
the
spirit
of
prayer
may
bee
wakened
by
judgement
,
but
judgement
is
not
the
cause
of
praying
in
the
godly
,
but
the
occasion
.
Hee
that
raiseth
up
a
sleeping
man
is
not
the
cause
of
his
motion
and
walking
,
the
cause
was
in
him
,
when
hee
was
fast
asleepe
,
his
life
and
the
Locomotive
power
is
the
cause
of
walking
,
and
this
is
not
put
in
the
sleeping
man
by
him
who
raiseth
him
:
when
the
hypocrite
and
ungodly
man
fasteth
and
prayeth
,
the
hand
of
an
angry
God
is
both
occasion
and
cause
of
his
praying
;
wee
would
try
what
moveth
us
to
fasting
and
praying
.
First
,
whether
sinne
or
afflictions
,
this
is
a
good
signe
,
if
we
can
pray
with
as
great
intention
of
spirit
to
bee
delivered
from
the
dominion
of
sinne
,
as
for
the
pardon
of
the
guilt
;
we
may
be
afraid
that
God
heare
us
when
wee
pray
for
deliverance
from
the
dominion
of
Idol-sinnes
,
experience
teacheth
this
.
But
wee
are
never
afraid
to
bee
heard
,
but
afraid
with
the
feare
of
unbeleefe
,
for
the
most
part
,
that
wee
bee
not
heard
,
when
wee
pray
for
pardon
and
deliverance
from
the
guilt
of
sinne
;
the
reason
is
,
men
may
hate
the
guilt
of
sinne
,
and
yet
love
the
sinne
.
Secondly
,
if
affliction
put
us
to
a
humiliation
for
sinne
,
as
sinne
and
the
depth
of
griefe
for
sinne
putteth
us
to
condemne
our selves
without
flattery
and
lying
,
the
contrary
of
which
is
when
in
trouble
wee
give
God
good
words
,
and
have
within
us
lying
hearts
and
thinke
not
so
,
as
the
people
,
Psal.
78.
34.
who
sought
God
when
hee
slew
them
,
Vers
.
36.
Neverthelesse
they
did
flatter
him
with
their
mouth
,
and
they
lyed
to
him
with
their
tongues
.
37.
for
their
heart
was
not
right
within
them
;
men
doe
then
flatter
themselves
,
when
they
flatter
God
.
Thirdly
,
when
we
are
more
anxious
in
our
fasting
for
Zion
,
and
the
taking
of
the
Arke
of
God
,
then
for
our selves
,
our
Lawes
,
goods
,
houses
,
lives
and
liberties
;
when
David
made
the
25.
Psalme
the
troubles
of
his
heart
were
inlarged
,
but
this
was
one
of
his
great
suits
when
hee
had
cause
to
mind
himselfe
,
22.
Redeeme
Israel
,
O
God
,
out
of
all
his
troubles
.
Fourthly
,
when
the
circumcised
heart
is
humbled
,
and
the
people
shall
not
faint
and
expire
through
want
of
faith
,
by
which
the
just
liveth
.
2.
When
they
shall
not
so
murmure
and
wrestle
against
the
rod
as
a
wilde
Bull
taken
and
lying
in
a
net
,
which
having
lost
strength
and
feet
,
and
being
overcome
,
yet
kicketh
against
the
hunter
.
3.
When
they
shall
not
bee
surfeited
with
affliction
,
so
as
to
loathe
and
despise
the
rod
,
as
the
tender
stomack
loatheth
physicke
,
because
they
are
full
and
surfeited
with
the
fury
of
the
Lord
.
These
three
are
excellently
expressed
,
Esay
51.
20.
Thy
sonnes
have
fainted
,
they
lie
at
the
head
of
all
the
streets
(
for
in
the
meetings
of
wayes
the
wild
bull

Then

hee
saith
to
them
,
Why
are
yee
fearefull
,
O
yee
of
little
faith
?
Matthew
keepeth
the
most
naturall
order
;
for
Christ
first
rebuked
the
Disciples
unbeleefe
,
before
hee
rebuked
the
Sea
and
the
winds
,
we
have
reason
so
to
conceive
of
Christs
method
,
for
hee
requireth
faith
before
hee
worke
miracles
,
at
least
often
hee
doth
so
,
though
hee
confirme
and
strengthen
that
faith
by
miracles
.
It
is
fit
that
Christ
rebuke
us
ere
hee
deliver
us
from
drowning

Hee
first
rebuketh
the
noble
man

all
his

Hee
rebuketh
the
father
of
the
lunaticke
child
,
and
the
faithlesnesse
of
the
perverse
generation
,
before
hee
cast
out
the
devill
;
it
is
fit
wee
bee
both
convinced
and
humbled
,
before
hee
turne
away
his
angry
hand
.
First
,
the
crosse
is
a
mystery
to
us

a
dumbe
teacher
,
wee

grammar

the

Secondly
,
greene

are
plagues

,
not

the

Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
God
,
Woe
to
the
bloody
Citie
,
to
the
pot
whose
scum
is
therein
,
and
whose
scum

;
the
Prophet
in
Chaldea
heard
that
Jerusalem
had
beene
boyled
with
the
sword
of
the
Lord
,
but
the
scumme
of
their
Idolatry
and
blood
remained
in
them
;
whilst
the
wicked
of
these
kingdomes
,
malignants
,
bloody
Irish
,
rotten
hearted
men
,
such
backsliders
and
perjured
Apostates
,
as
are
in
Scotland
,
delivered
to
Satan
and
excommunicated
,
while
these
taste
of
the
Gall
and
wormwood
of
the
wrath
of
God
in
this
warre
,
the
hand
of

cannot

O
that
our
Lord
would
boyle
out
on
the
fire
the
scumme
of
both
kingdomes
.
The
whoredomes
of
Popish
Aegypt
,
and
the
ceremonies
,
the
inventions
of
men
are
not
mourned
for
by
the
pastors
of
the
Lord
,
sure
,
I
am
,
not
by
most
of
the
Ministers
in
Scotland
:
What
can
wee
say
for
our
confidence
in
our
Armies
,
our
multitude
,
Parliaments
,
Navies
,
our
extortion
,
oppression
,
unjustice
,
hollow-heartednesse
in
the
cause
of
God
,
our
lying
,
cousening
,
budding
and
bribing
,
our
breach
of
our
Covenant
,
denying
of

to
the
oppressed

abominable

of

Thirdly
,
judgements
on
a
land
or
a
person
are
the
cup
of
the
Lords
fury
:
now
often
it
is
the

thick
of
the
cup
,
which
is
the
substance
and
vertue
of
the
cup
,
and
must
worke
the
cure
.
And
possibly
to
sip
at
the
brim
will
not
doe
it
,
it
is
a
judgement
that
some
get
not
leave
to
heate
in
the
furnace
,
but
are
dipped
in
in
the
flood
,
and
are
never
at
leasure
to
commune
with
their
owne
heart
,
nor
hath
the
Lord
time
to
allure
them
in
the
wildernesse

The

of

hence
the
Text
will
leade
us
to
inquire
in
the
bad
properties
of
this
feare
;
which
that
wee
may
doe
,
a
little
of
the
affections
in
generall
;
2.
of
this
bad
feare
condemned
by
our
Lord
in
these
following
propositions
.
1
Proposition
.
Grace
removeth
not
affections
;
Christ
condemneth
not
their
feare
,
but
onely
their
fearfulnesse
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
so
high
bended
.
Grace
maketh
not
men
Stoicks
,
nor
does
it
root
out
Nature
:
Nature
of
it self
,
as
it
commeth
out
of
the
work-house
of
the
Creator
,
is
an
innocent
thing
.
Whatever
decrees
the
high
former
,
and
Potter
have
concerning
all
things
,
in
the
exercise
of
his
absolute
,
but
most
pure
and
holy
Soveraignty
over
lame
Vessels
,
yet
all
that
hee
made
is
good
;
hee
is
the
author
of
no
sinfulnesse
in
the
Creature
.
But
hee
doth
not
extirpate
the
nature
,
and
harmlesse
being
of
naturall
affections
:
A
Chirurgion
taketh
not
away
life
and
sense
,
but
onely
rottennesse
and
corrupt
humors
,
that
are
enemies
to
life
and
sense
.
Grace
embroidereth
sinlesse
nature
,
but
does
not
turne
it
out
at
doores
:
Give
your
lust
to
Christ
who
maketh
all
things
new
;
and
hee
shall
restore
it
againe
to
you
in
renewed
love
:
Put
your
fainting
in
his
hand
,
and
hee
'll
make
it
holy
feare
:
Christs
furnace
melteth
but
out
the
refuse
and
drosse
of
our
affections
.
What
fire
was
in
Peter
a
Fisher
is
but
made
holy
zeale
in
Peter
the
Apostle
;
no
man
is
the
worse
that
hee
come
through
the
new
Physitians
hands
;
hee
maketh
brasse
Gold
:
I
should
wish
no
better
,
but
that
Christ
would
barter
an
old
heart
with
a
new
;
for
Christ
has
skill
to
over-gold
nature
with
Grace
.
Grace
turned
not
Job
in
a
lumpe
of
iron
,
that
hee
could
not
weepe
or
sorrow
;
for
it
was
not
destructive
of
Grace
which
hee
saith
,
Job
16.

My
face
is
foule
with
weeping
:
The
Man
Christ
that
chosen
flower
,
and
the
rarest
pearle
of
sinlesse
nature
both
wept
,

Propos.
Grace
but
removeth
the
scumme
,
and
exorbitances
of
our
affections
:
As
first
,
Grace
is
a
regular
thing
,
and
moves
as
the
Starres
doe
,
in
a
motion
,
contrary
to
the
motion
of
the
whole
World
;
it
moveth
not
as
nature
doth
,
to
seeke
its
own
being
and
life
,
but
with
subordination
to
God
.
Bee
angry
,
but
sinne
not
,
holdeth
in
all
;
Feare
,
but
sinne
not
;
Love
the
Creature
,
but
sinne
not
;
Trust
holy
men
,
but
sinne
not
;
Sorrow
at
calamities
,
but
sinne
not
.
Grace
is
a
straight
line
that
measureth
both
it selfe
,
and
all
crooked
lines
.
And
therefore
the
Grace
of
God
,
the
Gospel
is
a
teaching
guide
,
Tit.
2.
11.
The
grace
of
God
,
12.
teacheth
us
to
deny
ungodlinesse
.
Secondly
,
grace
is
an
excellent
skreene
between
the
soule
and
the
burning
heat
of
affections
,
it
is
a
strong
banke
to
keepe
off
over-swelling
tides
of
lusts
in
the
soule
;
when
affections
start
up
without
leave
of
the
grace
of
God
,
then
a
man
according
to
Gods
heart
David
will
but
utterly
destroy
Nabal
and
all
hee
hath
,
the
Disciples
,
because
they
cannot
have
a
nights
lodiging
,
will
doe
no
lesse
then
burne
Cities
and
Townes
,
&
have
Samaria
destroyed
as
Sodome
,
as
if
Christ
were
come
in
the
world
to
raise
fire
and
sword
against
men
,
women
and
sucking
infants
,
but
when
affections
looke
toward
the
creatures
,
the
grace
of
God
sets
them
on
to
move
on
leasurely
and
upon
slow
wheeles
,
and
loppeth
off
from
our
affections
all
the
wanton
and
luxuriant
branches
,
that
is
a
sweet
fruite
of
the
grace
of
God
,
1
Cor.

But
this
I
say
,
Brethren
,
the
time
is
short
,
it
remaineth
that
both
they
that
have
wives
,
bee
as
though
they
had
none
.
30.
And
they
that
weepe
,
as
though
they
wept
not
,
and
they
that
rejoyce
as
though
they
rejoyced
not
,
and
they
that
buy
as
though
they
possessed
not
;
and
mortification
laugheth
at
mirth
and
laughter
,
as
Solomon
in
his
repenting
dayes
doth
,
Eccles.

I
said
of
laughter
,
it
is
mad
,
and
of
mirth
,
what
doth
it
?
3.
Proposition
.
There
bee
diverse
diseases
in
the
feare
of
the
Disciples
;
as
first
,
their
feare
is
more
then
enough
,
they
speake
as
if
the
Sea
could
drowne
Christ
and
them
both
,
ere
the
man
Christ
awake
.
Hence
their
precipitations
,
Master
,
master
,
and
their
complaint
,
carest
thou
not
for
us
?
our
affections
in
great
dangers
runne
with
the
head
formost
,
not
onely
before
the
light
of
faith
,
but
before
that
reason
command
them
to
rise
;
according
to
the
measure
of
unmortified
lusts
so
is
the
swelling
of
our
affections
;
grace
keeping
them
within
banks
,
else
they
are
as
some
great
Seas
that
have
great
tides
.
Secondly
,
there
is
much
unbeleefe
in
this
feare
;
and
therefore
as
Matthew
relates
the
story
,
Christ
said
to
them
,
why
are
yee
fearfull
O
yee
of
little
faith
?
and
as
Marke
saith
,
4.
40.
How
is
it
that
you
have
no
faith
?
and
Luke
saith
,
where
is
your
faith
?
that
is
,
they
had
little
or
no
great
strength
of
faith
,
with
this
fear
,
it
being
mixed
with
much
doubting
;
hence
as
Christ
denyeth
not
simply
that
they
had
no
faith
,
so
hee
condemneth
their
unbeleefe
,
unbeleefe
doth
not
a
little
dull
our
apprehension
,
so
that
death
and
afflictions
looke
on
us
with
a
more
ugly
and
awsome
countenance
,
the
more
of
the
sunne
bee
covered
in
an
eclipse
,
the
greater
is
the
darknesse
:
unbeleefe
is
a
darke
black
webbecast
over
our
eyes
,
that
wee
see
not
what
omnipotency
can
doe
,
and
how
it
secondeth
the
faithfulnesse
of
God
,
to
make
good
his
owne
promises
,
our
corrupt
affections
arising
in
their
strength
are
great
enemies
to
righteous
judging
.
Hence
thirdly
,
this
feare
doth
make
them
to
misfather
their
affliction
,
they
lay
the
blame
of
their
danger
on
Christs
sleeping
,
and
his
forgetfulnesse
and
carelesnesse
of
them
,
as
their
complaint
sheweth
:
Carest
thou
nor
for
us
?
wee
perish
,
and
thou
sleepest
;
in
this
,
if
in
any
thing
,
it
is
true
;
happy
is
hee
who
knoweth
the
causes
of
things
,
wee
are
often
smitten
of
God
in
the
darke
.
To
apply
these
to
our selves
.
It
is
much
to
know
the
causes
of
this
present
warre
in
the
rwo
kingdomes
,
some
say
it
is
because
libertie
is
not
given
to
every
man
to
live
in
what
Religion
hee
pleaseth
,

this
is
a
sin
that
every

doe
,
What
seemeth

there
is
not
a

to
put
any
to

the
contrary
then
cannot
bee
the
cause
of
the
so
great
judgement
.
Others
say
rebellion
against
the
King
is
the
cause
,
but
rather
the
not
timous
rising
to
helpe
the
Lord
,
and
his
oppressed
people
against
the
mightie
is
the
cause
.
The
defection
of
both
kingdomes
to
altar
worship
,
imagerie
,
idolatry
,
Popish
and
Arminian
Doctrine
,
the
articles
of
Perth
Assembly
followed
and
practised
in
our
owne
kingdome
without
repentance
,
the
ignorance
of
God
,
people
perishing
for
want
of
knowledge
,
both
under
prelacy
,
and
now
the
not
building
of
the
house
of
God
in
this
land
,
the
backsliding
of
many
after
the
Covenant
of
God
is
sworne
,
are
the
true
causes
,
and
it
is
to
bee
feared
that
if
Presbyteriall
government
bee
erected
in
this
land
(
as
wee
hope
it
shall
)
if
this
bee
not
taken
heed
to
,
it
shall
continue
a
judgement
on
the
Land
,
and
it
is
this
,
many
both
preachers
and
professors
shall
conforme
to
the
Government
(
as
they
would
doe
to
either
the
prelaticall
,
or
congregationall
way
as
many
time-servers
doe
)
and
shall
hate
and
persecute
the
power
of
godlinesse
under
the
pretence
of
Sectaries
,
Brownists
,
Separatists
,
independents
,
and
the
like
,
and
retaining
an
Antichristian
and
rotten
heart
shall
doe
what
in
them
lies
,
under
that
colour
to
vex
,
oppresse
and
banish
many
godly
men
out
of
the
land
.
But
this
is
to
bee
considered
,
if
it
were
not
needfull
there
were
a
Fast
through
both
kingdomes
to
deale
with
God
to
find
out
the
true
causes
of
our
fastings
,
and
these
heavy
judgements
in
which
in
the
three
kingdomes
many
hundreth
thousands
are
killed
.
I
doubt
if
under
any
Prince
or
Emperour
there
bee
a
history
can
parallel
the
blood
shed
within
these
few
yeares
;
Job
when
God
visited
him
desired
to
know
wherefore
God
contended
with
him
:
it
is
a
sad
thing
to
lye
drowned
under
unknown
and
fatherlesse
plagues
,
wee
being
ignorant
of
the
causes
of
Gods
judgement
;
so
wee
suffer
blind
crosses
like
the
Oxe
that
beares
the
yoake
and
knoweth
nothing
of
the
art
of
husbandry
,
or
the
horse
killed
in
the
battell
,
and
yet
is
ignorant
of
State-affaires
,
and
of
the
causes
of
warre
,
and
of
disorders
in
Lawes
,
Liberties
,
Religion
in
State
and
Church
,
wee
are
like
one
smitten
in
the
dark
night
by
a
spirit
or
a
ghost
,
but
hee
seeth
not
who
striketh
.
Oh
it
were
good
wee
would
inquire
,
as
the
Prophet
doth
,
Esa.
42.
24.
who
gave
Jacob
for
a
spoyle
;
and
Israel
to
robbery
?
and
wherefore
is
all
this
come
on
us
?
why
doth
the
Lord
contend
with
us
?
O
make
us
know
our
iniquities
.
Often
the
rod
maketh
a
lying
report
of
God
,
and
accuseth
Christ
in
our
desertions
.
O!
Christ
is
unkind
,
hee
is
changed
,
hee
hath
forsaken
me
;
wee
can
sooner
spy
a
fault
in
Christ
under
desertion
then
in
our selves
,
and
wee
often
reason
from
that
which
is
no
cause
for
the
cause
.
Christ
seemeth
changed
to
us
,
and
unmercifull
and
sleepey
and
carelesse
.
First
,
when
the
judgement
is
extreame
and
wee
apprehend
it
as
a
fruite
of
the
anger
and
vengeance
of
God
.
Apprehension
gives
life
to
afflictions
and
casteth
in
many
ounce
weights
of
wrath
in
our
cup
,
which
was
never
there
,
because
our
conscience
giveth
in
against
us
lying
libells
and
unjust
complaints
,
such
as
this
,
(
thou
art
not
in
Christ
)
nor
a
convert
,
nor
a
pardoned
and
justified
sinner
;
)
and
wee
first
retort
the
lying
libell
upon
Christ
▪
O!
Christ
hath
forgotten
to
bee
mercifull
,
wee
see
Christ
in
the
false
glasse
,
in
our
extreame
suffering
,
our
sinne
and
apprehension
joyning
together
.
Secondly
,
Christ
may
sleepe
and
hide
himselfe
in
a
great
tryall
,
and
when
hee
is
gone
,
and
grace
hath
no
actuall
influence
on
our
soules
,
then
wee
languish
and
die
;
the
passes
of
the
Clock
being
laid
by
,
there
is
no
motion
at
all
,
and
the
wheeles
gather
rust
.
Should
wee
suppose
that
the
Creator
of
nature
did
suspend
his
influence
,
all
naturall
operations
should
cease
,
there
should
bee
no
motion
in
the
Sunne
,
it
should
neither
rise
nor
goe
downe
,
the
raine
should
not
fall
,
the
wind
should
not
blow
,
living
things
could
not
move
,
Beasts
could
not
walke
,
Fowels
could
not
fly
,
Fishes
could
not
swimme
,
Roses
,
Flowers
,
and
Hearbs
could
not
grow
,
&c.
because
hee
causeth
all
these
to
bee
,
and
his
immediate
influence
addeth
oyle
to
all
wheeles
,
and
rowleth
and
moveth
them
,
else
they
could
not
stirre
;
so
Christ
in
the
spheare
of
grace
being
the
first
mover
,
if
his
influence
stand
still
,
all
our
wheeles
as
wanting
oyle
and
motion
gather
rust
and
stand
still
;

Haman

Christ
his
life
worketh
not
,
so
here
in
trouble
Christ
standeth
behind
the
mount
,
and
the
poore
Disciples
faint
and
die
,
and
dreame
,
and
are
all
afraid
in
a
storme
,
because
God
seemeth
to
sleepe
,
as
if
God
were
dead
:
Oxthodoxe
and
sound
apprhensions
of
Christ
in
us
are
not
habits
,
but
acts
,
and
are
in
us
as
lightnings
are
in
the
ayre
,
when
nature
actually
cooperateth
,
or
as
fire
is
in
the
flint
,
not
but
when
it
is
beaten
out
with
force
.
Thirdly
,
distempers
and
feavers
on
faith
take
away
the
taste
and
the
honey
out
of
Christ
,
the
father
is
not
a
father
to
the
child
in
a
fit
of
an
ague
.
Thirdly
,
when
extreame
danger
is
neare
and
the
Army
foyled
,
and
the
enemy
entering
in
at
the
ports
,
our
courage
is
as
farre
to
seeke
as
ever
was
the
courage
of
the
Apostles
.
Oh
then
wee
are
gone
,
this
is
our
death
,
the
cause
is
now
losed
,
Christ
is
buried
,
hee
cannot
rise
againe

That
which
Christ
first
seeketh
,
and
first
misseth
in
any
is
their
faith
.
Where
is
your
faith
?
by
comparing
the
Evangelists
together
a
little
faith
is
faith
,
and
it
is
no
faith
,
that
is
,
not
so
great
a
faith
as
is
required
in
a
great
storme
.
Hence
these
conclusions
concerning
a
little
faith
.
1.
Conclus
.
A
little
faith
in
regard
of
the
nature
of
faith
is
faith
;
as
Christ
,
Matth.
8.
saith
not
,
they
have
no
faith
;
but
hee
chideth
them
for
their
little
faith
;
as
the
least
of
fire
is
fire
,
as
well
as
a
fire
of
all
the
timber
and
fewell
of
the
earth
is
fire
,
and
the
fourth
part
of
a
drop
of
dew
is
water
,
no
lesse
then
the
whole
element
of
water
is
water
;
the
least
measure
of
saving
faith
is
saving
faith
;
and
there
bee
other
three
acts
of
free
grace
that
are
of
the
same
nature
.
As
first
,
Gods
free
love
of
election
to
glory
can
neither
bee
halfe
nor
divided
;
the
meanest
of
the
elect
is
no
lesse
a
chosen
Senator
inrolled
in
the
booke
of
life
then
Abraham
,
or
great
Moses
.
Secondly
,
all
the
Saints
are
equally
ransomed
and
equally
married
on
Christ
,
there
was
no
greater
ransome
of
Christs
blood
given
for
Job
,
David
,
the
Apostles
then
for
thee
,
O
thou
the
least
of
Saints
.
Thirdly
,
all
are
equally
saved
and
crowned
Kings
;
of
the
degrees
of
grace
and
glory
,
I
doe
not
now
speake
.
2.
Conclus
.
Faith
and
fainting
may
consist
together
at
one
and
the
same
time
,
as
night
and
day
are
one
in
the
twylight
,
so
the
poore
man
said
,
Marke
9.

I
beleeve
,
that
is
faith
,
Lord
helpe
my
unbeleefe
,
that
is

I
I
said
in
my

I
am

off

mine
eyes

here
is
much
fainting
.
Neverthelesse
thou
heardest
the
voyce
of
my
supplication
;
here
must
bee
much
faith
,
when
his
prayers
hath
beene
heard
:
So
Jonah
Chap.

Then
I
said
,
I
am
cast
out
of
thy
sight
,
this
was
base
fainting
;
yet
I
will
looke
toward
thy
holy
Temple
,
this
is
faith
,
and
Jeremiah
,
ch.
20.

O
Lord
thou
hast
deceived
me
,
and
I
was
deceived
,
thou
art
stronger
then
I
,
and
hast
prevailed
,
I
am
in
derision
daily
,
and
every
one
mocketh
mee
.
Hee
fainted
not
a
little
,
when
hee
spake
so
of
God
to
God
;
but
Vers
.
11.
hee
getteth
up
the
mount
againe
;
But
the
Lord
is
with
mee
as
a
mightie
terrible
one
,
therefore
my
persecutors
shall
stumble
,
they
shall
not
prevaile
.
A
wrestling
faith
opposing
doubtings
and
faintings
is
an
argument
of
a
vigorous
life
of
Christ
,
and
weaknesse
here
is
an
argument
of
strength
and
deadnesse
doth
argue
life
,
and
fainting
beleeving
;
wee
have
a
bad
opinion
of
our
owne
state
when
there
is
no
cause
,
and
the
reason
is
,
that
it
is
a
reflect
act
to
know
our
owne
acts
of
faith
;
and
first
,
reflect
acts
are
more
rare
and
difficill
,
because
more
spirituall
then
direct
acts
.
Secondly
,
the
light
of
saving
grace
must
concurre
in
all
our
reflect
acts
,
but
it
seemeth
to
mee
to
bee
easier
,
because
more
naturall
to
reflect
upon
our
doubting
and
unbeleefe
,
then
upon
our
beleeving
,
especially
where
there
is
any
tendernesse
of
conscience
,
as
a
sleeping
man
knoweth
not
that
hee
is
in
health
,
nor
can
hee
have
any
sense
of
his
health
while
hee
sleepeth
,
and
yet
a
sleeping
man
may
know
and
feele
the
paine
of
sicknesse
,
and
of
an
aking
bone
,
and
thereby
bee
wakened
to
feele
it
more
sensibly
,
though
I
know
there
bee
a
necessitie
of
the
influence
of
saving
grace
,
either
to
know
our
fainting
,
or
our
faith
in
a
spirituall
manner
,
yet
there
bee
degrees
of
grace
here
.

Conclus
.
Those
who
have
a
great
faith
in
habit
,
many
have
a
little
faith
in
act
,
and
the
Disciples
who
had
forsaken
all
and
followed
Christ
,
must
have
a
great
measure
of
faith
of
fiduciall
adherence
;
it
is
a
great
faith
to
renounce
all
our
bosome-lovers
for
Christ
:
Though
2.
their
faith
of
light
,
or
in
regard
of
knowledge
was
weak
;
they
not
knowing
Christs
death
and
resurrection

are
principal

Yet
in
this
present
act
their
faith
was
weake

The
grounds
of
a
weake
faith
in
regard
of
the
act
,
and
some
speciall
exigents
of
a
prevailing
temptation
:
are
first
,
because
faith
is
one
thing
,
and
the
use
of
faith
another
thing
:
The
habit
of
faith
is
not
the
compleate
and
onely
cause
of
beleeving
.
1.
Because
then
the
regenerate
from
the
first
moment
of
their
regeneration
to
their
dying
day
,
should
alwayes
beleeve
,
which
is
repugnant
to
Scripture
and
all
experience
;
for
the
habit
of
faith
,
and
the
seed
of
God
alwayes
remaineth
in
them

even
when
they
sin
,
they

and
when
his
saving
grace
breathes
on
us
,
and
neither
sooner
nor
later
,
neither
more
strongly
,
nor
more
remissely
,
then
the
free-grace
of
God
,
inableth
us
:
for
if
wee
could
beleeve
ere
grace
blow
on
us
;
First
,
wee
could
prevene
grace
,
and
then
should
wee
carry
it
all
before
us
;
and
it
should
bee
after
this
,
not
prevening
grace
,
but
prevening
nature
,
prevening
free
will
.
Secondly
,
if
the
intention
of
the
degrees
of
actuall
beleeving
were
in
our
power
,
Paul
did
not
well
to
ascribe
his
labouring
more
abundantly
to
the
grace
of
God
,
and
not
to
himselfe
,
1
Cor.
15.

But
I
laboured
more
abundantly
then
they
all
;
yet
not
I
,
but
the
grace
of
God
which
was
with
me
.
Secondly
,
our
faith
is
often
led
by
the
sense
of
appearance
and
second
causes
,
and
that
is
a
very
bad
rule
.
Faith
and
sense
may
thus
bee
compared
:
Faith
is
like
the
just
horologe
or
watch
which
sheweth
to
us
justly
the
houres
at
midnight
,
when
there
bee
neither
Sun
,
Moone
,
nor
Stars
to
give
notice
what
time
of
night
it
is
;
so
rotten
boylie
Job
,
chap.
19.

,
26.
when
hee
had
not
so
much
as
Star-light
of
appearance
to
lead
him
,
but
death
and
rotten
boyles
,
could
in
faith
point
the
houre
,
and
say
,
I
know
that
my
Redeemer
liveth
,
and
that
I
shall
see
him
for
my selfe
,
and
my
eyes
shall
behold
,
and
not
another
,
though
my
reines
bee
consumed
within
mee
:
But
sense
is
not
like
the
night
horologe
,
but
like
the
Sun-diall
,
that
cannot
point
the
houres
in
the
night
,
nay
,
nor
yet
in
day-light
if
the
same
bee
under
cloud
,
sense
must
have
daylight
,
and
a
shining
Sun
;
and
can
doe
nothing
for
Christ
upon
trust
:
and
this
is
a
great
unthankfulnesse
in
our
sense
;
for
it
is
faith
and
not
sense
that
layeth
hold
on
relations
,
and
such
a
relation
as
is
betweene
husband
and
wife
,
so
the
Lord
speaketh
,
Esa.

Upon

Conclus
.
Sometimes
wee
beleeve
on
Christ
as
morall
agents
,
and
then
wee
may
both
know
Christ
and
our
own
state
,
if
the
light
of
the
Spirit
concurre
to
make
the
promises
visible
to
our
spirituall
senses
:
not
onely
as
true
,
but
also
as
good
and
sweet
,
for
wee
see
colours
,
and
apprehend
them
both
as
colours
,
and
as
pleasant
and
delectable
:
so
a
man
may
see
a
great
heape
of
Gold
which
belongeth
to
another
man
,
hee
sees
it
as
of
such
a
colour
,
and
as
it
offereth
it self
to
the
eye
;
but
because
it
is
not
his
owne
,
nor
hath
hee
any
hope
it
can
bee
his
owne
;
hee
seeth
it
possibly
with
griefe
:
but
if
it
were
offered
and
given
to
him
,
hee
should
then
see
it
as
good
and
acceptable
:
now
the
grounds
of
a
weak
faith
,
is
a
weake
evidence
of
our
interest
in
Christ
;
small
and
weak
evidence
produceth
weak
acts
of
beleeving
:
it
is
true
there
is
sometime
little
evidence
of
knowledge
,
where
there
is
strong
adherence
,
and
strong
faith
,
as
many
unlettered
Martyrs
of
no
great
knowledge
in
the
Scriptures
,
have
dyed
with
great
adherence
and
strength
of
faith
:
but
there
is
a
twofold
evidence
,
one
literall
,
another
spirituall
,
it
is
unpossible
there
can
bee
a
strong
faith
,
but
there
must
bee
a
strong
spirituall
evidence
proportionable
thereunto
to
convey
it
,
for
faith
walketh
not
without
eyes
,
and
therefore
the
weakenesse
of
spirituall
evidence
of
our
interest
in
Christ
(
as
here
the
Apostles
see
not
but
Christ
hath
forgotten
them
,
and
cares
not
that
they
perish
)
must
produce
a
weake
faith
.
Againe
faith
commeth
not
onely
from
discourse
,
and
the
morall
perswasion
of
the
holy
Ghost
making
use
of
sanctified
reason
,
but
also
sometime
from
a
meere
spirituall
instinct
,
as
where
there
is
no
discourse
,
especially
when
wee
first
beleeve
,
and
have
nothing
but
a
meere
command
,
and
knowes
not
whether
the
promise
and
the
Saviour
belongeth
to
us
or
not
,
even
as
the
infant
that
can
make
no
use
of
discourse
relieth
and
trusteth
to
the
mother
or
nurse
for
milke
,
by
meere
instinct
,
having
neither
promise
nor
experience
for
it
,
and
the
young
Chickens
confide
in
the
covering
of
the
Hens
wings
,
and
the
Lambes
for
food
from
the
damme
meerly
by
naturall
instinct
:
so
when
wee
are
new
borne
againe
,
the
first
act
of
fiduciall
adherence
seemeth
to
bee
from
the
new
nature
and
instinct
of
grace
,
as
the
child
in
a
suddaine
danger
without
discourse
or
promise
that
his
father
will
helpe
him
,
runnes
to
his
father
,
and
the
Conies
in
danger
to
their
holes
of
the
rock
,
and
so
a
weake
instinct
of
grace
may
produce
weake
acts
,
and
by
the
way
the
promise
may
bee
forgotten
and
out
of
mind
,
and
the
assurance
that
Christ
loved
mee
before
the
world
was
,
none
at
all
,
and
a
beleever
yet
may
rely
and
confide
in
Christ
through
instinct
,
and
know
no
ground
,
as
through
some
secret
sympathy
of
nature
one
may
love
another
and
they
know
not
the
reason
,
and
proportionally
may
trust
in
another
also
,
for
love
produceth
some
confidence
,
so
some
are
kind
and
their
heart
warmed
with
Christ
;
and
they
doe
not
well
know
Christ
,
as
the
Disciples
going
to
Emmaus
have
hearts
burning
with
the
love
of
God
,
but
they
knew
not
it
was
Christ
who
was
there
,
the
third
man
conferring
with
them
.
5.
Conclus
.
The
chiefe
cause
,
as
of
all
sinnes
of
infirmitie
,
so
of
a
weake
and
infirme
faith
,
is
not
so
much
from
want
of
will
as
want
of
power
,
and
rather
from
want
of
grace
and
a
larger
measure
of
the
spirit
of
faith
,
then
from
malice
and
wickednesse
.
I
deny
not
but
the
corruption
of
a
wicked
nature
hath
influence
in
sinnes
of
infirmitie
,
and
in
a
weake
faith
,
as
it
hath
in
all
sinnes
(
as
some
of
the
mothers
seed
must
alwayes
bee
in
the
child
;
)
but
I
speake
comparatively
,
and
in
regard
of
that
which
is
the
nature
of
sinne
;
therefore
sinnes
of
infirmitie
and
a
weake
faith
,
though
they
bee
not
veniall
sinnes
,
as
Papists
vainely
teach
,
yet
they
bee
sinnes
of
a
lower
size
;
for
there
bee
lesse
activenesse
and
more
passivenesse
in
these
sinnes
,
and
so
lesse
will
and
more
renitency
and
reluctancy
then
in
raigning
sinnes
,
and
all
sinnes
of
infirmitie
have
but
the
halfe
of
the
will
,
sometime
nothing
but
a
virtuall
consent
,
as
in
the
first
motions
of
concupiscence
and
some
sinfull
errors
and
bad
opinions
contrary
to
the
truth
which
the
children
of
God
have
,
and
the
renewed
part
doth
protest
on
the
contrary
against
the
flesh
and
side
with
Christ
;
and
if
the
will
joyne
in
sinnes
of
infirmitie
,
it
is
but
the
one
halfe
of
the
will
trayling
the
other
halfe
after
it
,
like
the
motion
of
a
worme
in
which
the
former
part
having
more
life
and
vigor
draweth
after
it
the
hinder
part
.
But
I
come
to
prove
the
nature
of
a
weak●
or
little
faith
,
and
of
other
sinnes
of
infirmitie
:
Paul
,
Rom.

hee
useth

Verbe
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
that
which
is
put
to
the
market
to
bee
made
away
for
money
,
were
it
man
or
woman
,
is
a
patient
,
But
Ahab

another
marke

to
him

thou

thy selfe
to

in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
hee
that
is
sold
is
not
sui

,
not
his
owne
man
,
the
flesh
in
that
act
prevaileth
over
him
,
the
renewed
will
saying
the
contrary
.
The
acting
of
●…d
unbeleefe
in
a
Saint
is
like
a
businesse
in
a
court
hardly
〈◊〉
hotly
debated
,
and
the
matter
is
carried
by
one
voyce
onely
,
or
as
in
weighing
of
things
in
a
ballance
one
scruple
may
cast
the
seale
,
and
where
there
is
but
one
graine
of
saving
grace
,
the
worke
may
bee
swayed
by
it
,
if
the
flesh
act
by
prevalency
,
it
goes
wrong
,
but
in
the
wicked
,
where
there
is
no
prevalency
of
saving
grace
,
nor
any
such
principle
,
the
sinne
is
not
a
sinne
of
infirmitie
.
Christ
hath
not
one
voyce
in
the
court
,
if
reason
speake
against
some
crying
sinnes
,
that
is
something
of
God
the
Creator
,
but
nothing
of
Christ
,
it
is
not
from
a
saving
principle
,
or
the
right
end
the
honour
of
God
,
and
so
it
is
not
a
voyce
in
the
court
for
Christ
,
but
for
nature
and
carnall
ends
.
Paul
hath
another
word
,
Rom.

I
finde
another
Law
in
my
mind
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
leading
mee
captive
to
the
Law
of
sinne
;
the
word
signifieth
one
taken
with
the
point
of
a
Speare
,
or
Sword
,
or
with
a
bloody
weapon
,
so
is
the
word
,
Luke
21.

They
shall
fall
by
the
edge
of
the
Sword
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}

,
and
shall
bee
led
captive
unto
all
nations
,
Rom.

Salute
Andronicus
and
Junia
my
kinsmen
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
and
fellow
prisoners
.
Now
in
a
taken
captive
there
bee
two
things
expressing
the
nature
of
infirmities
,
and
so
of
a
weake
faith
in
the
Saints
.
First
,
ere
the
captive
bee
taken
in
warre
he
resisteth
,
and
sheddeth
blood
,
and
therefore
by
paction
they
promise
him
quarters
.
Secondly
,
it
is
major
vis
,
a
greater
power
that
doth
it
,
so
it
is
against
his
will
that
hee
is
taken
,
and
onely
for
want
of
strength
and
power
to
fight
hee
is
taken
;
so
hee
that
falls
of
infirmitie
or
sinnes
of
weaknesse
,
if
hee
had
more
strength
of
grace
,
hee
would
not
yeeld
,
and
therefore
hee
resisteth
and
accepteth
not
of
quarters
from
the
flesh
without
stroake
of
Sword
,
and
the
spirit
doth
not
consent
to
the
ill
hee
doth
,
as
it
is
,
Rom.
7.
15.
For
that
which
I
doe
,
I
allow
not
,
for
what
I
would
,
that
I
doe
not
:
but
what
I
hate
that
I
doe
:
So
the
beleever
is
like
a
sicke
man
walking
up
a
mount
,
his
will
and
desire
is
quicker
in
climbing
up
to
bee
at
the
top
of
the
mount
,
then
his
legges
are
.
The
last
practicall
inditement
of
conscience
that
leadeth
on
in
these
sinnes
of
infirmitie
is
broken
,
shaken
,
divided
,
it
is
not
a
kindly
consent
the
captive
giveth
to
obey
his
keepers
,
and
therefore
there
is
complaynings
under
these
sinnes
,
as
Paul
doth
,
Rom.
7.
24.
O
wretched
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliver
mee
from
the
body
of
this
death
?
Hence
the
poore
man
is
so
gravelled
with
a
body
of
sinne
,
that
his
confined
desires
take
strength
from
the
strong
walls
of
the
prison
,
that
hee
would
gladly
bee
in
heaven
,
where
hee
shall
sinne
no
more
,
as
the
Bird
would
wish
the
Cage
of
clay
broken
that
it
might
flee
up
and
sing
;
Esay
useth
another
word
,
Ch.
22.
Christ
shall
not
breake
a
Reed
that
groweth
in
a
lake
,
or
an
Oate
Reed
that
is
already
bruised
,
the
word
is
halfe-breaking
,
as
Gen.
25.
22.
The
Twinns
struggle
or
shalter
one
another
in
the
wombe
,
but
they
killed
not
one
another
;
and
the
smoaking
flax
is
a dying
out
candle
in
the
socket
,
except
more
oyle
bee
added
to
it
,
it
is
gone
,
the
word
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
signifies
the
dimme
eyes
of
old
men
,
Gen.

so
the
weake
beleever
and
the
fainting
faith
may
from
this
easily
be
knowne
.
Then
if
Christ
misse
faith
in
a
professor
;
first
,
labour
to
beleeve
,
especially
in
a
storme
;
now
the
Sea
rages
,
the
storme
is
tempestuous
,
God
hath
not
as
yet
awaked
in
the
three
Kingdomes
for
our
deliverance
,
beleeve
,
faith
cannot
strike
saile
to
hell
or
death
,

faith
can
make
a
passage
between
hell
and
heaven
;
for
out
of
the
belly
of
Hell
Jonah
cryed
;
this
should
put
our
enemies
to
flight
,
it
did
so
of
old
,
Heb.
11.
34.
and
grace
is
not
weake
,
and
old
,
and
gray
haired
now
;
there
are
bones
and
strength
in
faith
now
to
subdue
malignants
,
as
of
old
;
these
that
seeke
for
crooked
wayes
of
an
unjust
peace
without
truth
,
doe
not
trust
God
in
these
stormes
;
wee
are
in
publick
calamities
so
farre
from
faith
that
wee
think
God
hath
forgotten
us
,
as
the
people
in
their
calamitie
said
,
Ezek.
33.
10.
If
our
transgressions
and
our
sinnes
bee
upon
us
,
and
wee
pine
away
in
them
,
how
should
wee
then
live
?
we
looke
to
the
waters
that
floweth
over
the
soule
and
cannot
see
the
bottome
,
and
our
hope
sinketh
,
but
faith
would
outface
all
our
stormes
,
and
carry
ship-broken
men
to
laud
.
It
was
unbeleefe
rather
then
Sea
and
winds
that
was
like
to
drowne
the
Church
,
for
it
puts
weaknesse
and
sleepinesse
upon
Christ
,
and
robs
him
of
the
glory
of
his
truth
.
Glory
is
the
prime
flower
of
the
Crowne
and
Royall
Prerogative
of
Christ
,
and
it
changeth
Christ
in
a
sleeping
man
,
there
must
bee
then
more
high
treason
here
against
the
Royall
honour
of
Christ
then
in
all
sins
,
it
is
from
unbeleefe
that
that
complaint
is
made
,
Jer.
14.
8.
Why
shouldest
thou
bee
as
a
stranger
in
the
land
,
and
as
a
wayfaring
man
that
turneth
aside
to
tarry
for
a
night
?
9.
Why
shouldest
thou
bee
as
a
man
astonished
,
as
a
mighty
man
that
cannot
save
?
the
Church
had
as
good
said
,
why
should
you
bee
turned
in
no
God
,
for
hee
that
cannot
save
is
no
God
;
so
unbeleefe
usurpeth
the
Crowne
and
dethroaneth
God
.
Secondly
,
so
long
as
wee
are
not
humbled
for
sinne
,
and
turne
not
from
our
evill
wayes
,
Christ
justly
misseth
faith
in
us
,
and
saith
,
hee
can
see
no
faith
in
the
land
,
and
God
will
change
his
dispensation
toward
his
Church
,
and
doe
what
hee
hath
not
done
before
,
if
hee
deliver
us
,
ere
wee
turne
to
him
.
But
God
cannot
take
his
vessell
out
of
the
fire
till
hee
have
purged
away
the
tinne
and
the
drosse
:
Will
hee
cast
the
rod
in
the
fire
till
hee
have
done
his
worke
in
mount
Zion
?
God
principally
aymeth
that
this
shall
bee
the
end
of
his
fire
in
Zion
,
and
his
furnace
in
Jerusalem
,
which
hee
saith
,
Ezek.
7.
16.
But
they
that
escape
of
them
shall
escape
,
or
,
shall
bee
saved
,
and
they
shall
bee
upon
the
mountaines
as
Doves
in
the
valleyes
,
all
of
them
mourning
every
one
for
his
iniquity
:
could
wee
returne
,
and
build
the
house
of
the
Lord
,
our
enemies
in
the
three
kingdomes
should
fall
and
our
peace
should
bee
as
a
river
,
and
our
righteousnesse
as
the
waves
of
the
Sea
,
Esay
48.
18.
wee
may
have
peace
without
turning
to
God
,
but
it
should
not
bee
peace
like
a
mightie
river
,
but
like
a
dryed
up
brook
,
but
so
scarce
that
it
should
dry
up
as
the
dew
.
Thirdly
,
challenge
not
Christ
of
unkindnesse
through
unbeleefe
in
sad
times
,
faith
thinketh
no
evill
of
Christ
;
blame
thy selfe
and
thy
unbeleefe
,
if
Christ
hide
his
face
;
faith
hath
eyes
to
see
Christ
in
the
night
as
in
day-light
,
faiths
eyes
pierce
through
Christs
marke
,
and
the
vaile
or
cloud
that
covers
his
face
,
there
is
mercy
and
love
in
the
bottome
of
afflictions
.
Fourthly
,
weake
ones
are
neither
to
under-value
Christ
in
themselves
,
nor
should
others
under-value
them
;
faith
maketh
not
heart-separation
from
faith
,
the
estrangement
of
affection
from
any
in
whom
there
is
any
thing
of
Christ
is
from
the
flesh
,
contrary
to
faith
,

hee

rebuked

The

not
capable
of

such
as
are
given

but
there
is
a
rebuking
of

out

some

layd
the

there
bee
three
great
questions
here
,
that
few
can
answer
but
God
.
First
,
to
take
the
compasse
of
the
circumference
of
the
globe
of
the
earth
exactly
,
and
to
lay
a
measuring
line
over
the
Diameter
and
the
whole
body
of
it
,
is
a
great
work
.
Secondly
,
to
know
how
to
fasten
the
corner
stone
of
the
world
.
Thirdly
,
and
how
the
whole
weight
is
sustained
,
is
more
then
wee
can
tell
,
and
it
is
no
lesse
wonder
,
Psal.

have
yet
an
inclination
to
revenge
the
quarrell

blood
,
he
sprinkles
cleane
water
upon
nations
the
house
of
Israel
,
and
cleanseth
them
from
all
their
filthinesse
and
idols
,
for
his
names
sake
,

it
is
the
omnipotency
of
free
grace
that
Christ
arise
and
rebuke
these
winds
and
Seas
also
.
Mark
4.
39.
And
there
was
a
great
calme
.
There
be●
two
Characters
of
God
in
this
miracle
;
One
in
the
manner
of
the
doing
,
anger
goes
not
away
from
either
a
man
,
or
the
Sea
in
an
instant
;
when
the
aire
is
calmed
,
and
the
wind
removed
,
yet
in
the
bowels
of
the
Sea
,
there
remaines
a
wind
,
and
so
a
raging
and
working
in
the
Sea
.
But
here
without
delay
,
there
is
a
calme
.
Secondly
,
in
the
miracle
there
is
a
Character
of
God
,
there
was
a
great
calme
.
In
the
former
wee
see
God
worketh
irresistibly
,
and
with
efficacy
.
For
when
hee
saveth
,
wee
must
bee
saved
:
When
God
saith
that
which
Isaac
said
,
I
have
blessed
him
;
the
other
must
follow
,
And
hee
shall
bee
blessed
.
Some
Creatures
worke
necessarily
without
any
dominion
over
their
actions
;
the
Sun
must
cast
out
heat
,
the
fire
cannot
but
burne
,
the
Sea
cannot
but
flow
;
but
because
God
has
truly
an
absolute
Prerogative
Royall
,
hee
has
a
Negative
voice
in
all
the
actions
of
the
world
,
and
what
is
to
the
creature
necessary
,
and
a
must
bee
,
to
the
Lord
it
is
free
,
though
not
contingent
,
and
it
hath
a
may
bee
to
God
,
and
not
a
must
bee
,
except
he
will
:
To
the
creature
the
sea
must
ebbe
and
flow
,
the
Sun
must
give
light
,
the
fire
must
consume
,
the
Lyon
must
devoure
the
prey
;
but
in
all
these
to
God
,
there
is
a
must
not
bee
,
except
hee
adde
his
affirmative
voice
;
and
therefore
God
commandeth
the
Sea
neither
to
ebbe
nor
flow
,
but
to
stand
up
as
two
stiffe
walls
of
glasse
,
hee
covereth
the
Sunne
with
a
webbe
of
darknesse
at
the
crucifying
of
the
Lord
of
glory
;
hee
dischargeth
the
fire
to
burn
the
three
children
,
and
the
Lyon
to
eat
Daniel
,
and
all
these
must
bee
,
because
God
has
said
they
shall
bee
.
Againe
,
as
God
putteth
his
may
not
bee
upon
things
necessary
to
the
creature
;
so
hee
putteth
a
law
of
necessity
upon
all
the
contingent
actions
of
the
creature
:
an
arrow
shot
at
a
venture
may
kill
Achab
,
and
not
kill
Achab
,
but
some
other
man
neare
by
;
yet
there
is
here
to
the
Lord
no
contingency
,
no
such
thing
as
maybee
,
and
may
not
bee
.
But
the
arrow
of
the
Lords
vengeance
must
bee
so
timed
,
so
placed
,
as
it
has
no
motion
against
any
but
Achab
onely
,
and
against
no
part
of
him
,
but
betweene
the
joints
of
his
harnesse
,
that
hee
may
fall
and
die
,
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord
.
The
way
and
manner
that
Christ
hath
a
calme
Sea
,
wee
have
a
calme
Sea
,
and
the
way
that
Christ
commeth
to
land
,
and
at
that
very
time
,
the
Disciples
come
to
land
;
our
stomacks
rise
much
,
wee
say
,
What
is
God
doing
?
is
there
not
a
necessitie
in
regard
of
divine
justice
,
that
vengeance
fall
upon
Malignants
,
Papists
,
Prelates
in
these
Kingdomes
,
and
bloody
Irish
cut-throats
and
murtherers
?
But
wee
would
consider
these
two
.
First
,
these
sixteene
hundreth
yeares
,
Christ
hath
beene
under
wrongs
,
and
vengeance
to
the
full
,
hath
not
reached
his
enemies
,
as
yet
,
for
1.
the
enemies
of
Christ
are
not
fully
subdued
;
2.
and
many
of
them
rotten
in
the
dust
,
are
not
in
their
bodies
tormented
as
yet
;
Christ
suffereth
injuries
,
and
you
cannot
,
you
will
not
have
patience
to
indure
the
crueltie
of
bloody
men
.
Secondly
,
Christ
as
wee
see
here
,
devideth
faire
weather
and
foule
weather
with
his
Disciples
,
it
is
enough
to
us
,
that
if
wee
bee
laid
low
,
wee
are
low
with
Christ
▪
it
is
time
enough
that
wee
have
faire
weather
and
come
safe
to
shoare
to
dry
our
garments
at
that
Sunne
that
shineth
to
the
glorified
in
heaven
,
when
Christ
commeth
to
shoare
;
let
us
weepe
when
Christ
weepeth
,
and
bee
buried
when
Christ
is
buried
;
when
Christ
rejoyceth
and
riseth
againe
,
wee
cannot
lie
rotting
in
the
grave
.

so
calleth

{non-Roman}
.
This
is
the
other
Character
of
God
in
this
miracle
,
that
it
is
a
great
calme
.
There
is
nothing
in
God
,
not
any
judgement
or
worke
of
God
but
greatnesse
is
printed
on
it
;
for
the
effect
smelleth
of
the
cause
,
Job
36.
26.
God
is
great
,
Christ
is
great
,
as
the
Churches
danger
in
this
Sea-voyage
is
great
,
so
is
the
calme
great
;
great
buildings
have
great
foundations
,
great
ships
great
sailes
,
great
Sea-ebbings
have
great
flowings
,
2
Cor.

God
delivered
us
from
so
great
a
death
,
some
death
is
but
an
infant
death
and
weake
,
there
is
another
death
called
by
Bildad
,
Job
.
18.
13.
The
first
borne
of
death
.
The
Lord
sheweth
his
people
(
Psal.
71.
20.
)
great
and
sore
troubles
,
and
gives
them
teares
to
drinke
in
great
measure
,
Psal.
80.
5.
and
the
people
is
in
great
distresse
,
Nehem.
9.
37.
and
for
that
the
Lord
doth
great
things
for
them
,
Psal.
126.
2.
and
worketh
a
great
salvation
for
his
people
,
1
Sam.
14.
45.
and
giveth
great
deliverances
to
David
,
Psal.
18.
80.
and
to
Davids
seed
,
the
Israel
of
God
.
Secondly
,
there
is
greatnesse
written
upon
all
the
workes
of
God
,
Psal.
92.
5.
O
Lord
how
great
are
thy
workes
?
Psal.
111.
Vers
.
2.
The
works
of
the
Lord
are
great
,
sought
out
of
all
those
that
have
pleasure
therein
.
Thirdly
,
there
is
greatnesse
written
on
his
judgements
against
his
enemies
,
for
Zach.
7.
12.
there
is
a
great
wrath
from
the
Lord
of
hosts
on
those
that
pull
away
the
shoulders
,
and
makes
their
heart
as
an
Adamant
stone
;
hee
fighteth
against
the
rebellious
,
Ier.
21.
5.
in
anger
,
and
in
fury
,
and
in
great
wrath
;
and
the
great
day
of
his
wrath
shall
come
upon
his
enemies
,
so
that
they
shall
not
bee
able
to
stand
.
Fourthly
,
and
there
is
a
great
reward
for
the
righteous
,
Psal.
19.
11.
a
great
reward
in
heaven
for
them
,
Matth.
5.
Vers
.
12.
A
farre
more
exceeding
and
eternall
weight
of
glory
,
2
Cor.
4.
17.
Then
great
vengeance
is
appointed
for
the
enemies
of
God
,
Ezek.
25.
17.
and
great
desolation
on
Pharoah
the
great
Dragon
that
lieth
in
the
midst
of
his
Rivers
,
Ezek.
29.
3.
and
when
these
kingdomes
have
committed
great
whoredomes
,
what
wonder
that
great
judgements
bee
on
us
,
and
many
more
hundreth
thousands
bee
slaine
in
the
three
kingdomes
then
histories
can
in
our
ages
parallel
but
if
Babylon
bee
a
great
whore
,
great
must
bee
her
fall
,
all
the
Kings
of
the
earth
,
and
her
Merchants
shall
wonder
,
and
weepe
and
waile
at
her
desolation
.
Our
King
saith
,
hee
will
repeale
Lawes
made
against
Papists
in
England
;
But
it
is
a
worke
above
his
strength
to
hold
up
the
cursed
throane
of
the
beast
,
which
God
hath
said
hee
will
crush
;
if
all
the
Kings
of
the
earth
should
make
their
bones
pillars
to
hold
up
that
throne
,
there
is
such
a
weight
of
vengeance
lying
on
that
throne
,
that
their
bones
shall
bee
bruised
in
powder
.
Reformation
is
a
worke
of
God
also
,
Zach.
13.
23.
and
then
it
is
a
great
worke
,
and
though
there
bee
great
mountaines
in
the
way
,
God
doth
rebuke
and
remove
such
mountaines
,
Zach.
4.
7.
faint
not
then
,
bee
strong
in
the
Lord
.
No
marvell
wee
are
to
sell
all
and
buy
Christ
that
pearle
of
great
price
,
Matth.
13.
46.
for
none
hath
so
neare
a
relation
to
God
as
hee
;
wee
seeke
great
things
,
seeke
great
Christ
.
Luke
8.
25.
And
they
being
afraid
wondered
,
saying
one
to
another
,
What
manner
of
man
is
this
?
for
hee
commandeth
even
the
winds
and
waters
,
and
they
obey
him
.
This
is
all
the
fruit
wee
read
this
miracle
produced
in
the
Seamen
,
they
fall
a
wondring
,
being
astonished
to
see
a
man
command
Sea
and
winds
.
First
,
the
miracles
of
Christ
and
all
the
workes
of
God
are
so
farre
inferiour
to
his
word
,
that
they
can
teach
us
nothing
of
the
Trinitie
,
nor
of
two
natures
in
the
one
person
and
of
our
mediator
Iesus
Christ
.
Secondly
,
O
how
little
of
God
doe
wee
see
,
especially
being
voyd
of
his
owne
light
?
even
Iob
saith
,
though
God
bee
at
our
elbow
,
wee
know
not
it
is
hee
,
Chap.
23.
8.
Behold
I
goe
forward
,
and
hee
is
not
there
,
and
backward
,
but
I
cannot
perceive
him
.
But
is
this
because
God
was
neither
behind
Iob
,
nor
before
him
?
no
,
God
goeth
round
about
us
,
every
man
may
as
it
were
,
put
forth
his
hand
,
and
grope
the
Almightie
,
Act.
17.
27.
therefore
Iob
addeth
Vers
.
9.
(
he
is
)
on
the
left
hand
where
hee
doth
worke
,
but
I
cannot
behold
him
,
hee
hideth
himselfe
on
the
right
hand
that
I
cannot
see
him
;
wee
cannot
trace
the
footsteps
of
his
unsearchable
wayes
,
alas
wee
but
sport
our selves
to
behold
the
superfice
,
the
outside
,
and
as
it
were
,
the
brim
of
divine
providence
men
or
Angels
cannot
dive
to
the
bottome
of
the
wayes
of
our
Lord
;
Esay
55.
hee
saith
himselfe
,
Vers
.
9.
for
as
the
heavens
are
higher
then
the
earth
,
so
are
my
wayes
higher
then
your
wayes
,
and
my
thoughts
then
your
thoughts
.
Thirdly
,
wee
come
but
that
neare
Christ
,
that
wee
goe
at
the
farthest
three
or
foure
steppes
to
him
;
some
are
convinced
and
wonder
,
they
say
this
must
bee
God
,
as
Luke
4.
22.
when
Christ
preaches
as
Christ
,
and
like
himselfe
,
they
all
beare
him
witnesse
and
wonder
at
the
gratious
words
that
proceed
out
of
his
mouth
;
yet
they
are
not
a
step
nearer
to
him
,
they
despise
him
,
and
say
,
Is
not
this
Josephs
sonne
?
Some
know
a
Prophet
hath
beene
amongst
them
,
Ezek.
3.
5.
but
they
are
Scorpions
and
briars
and
thornes
,
and
will
not
heare
.
Secondly
,
some
ate
inlightned
and
beleeve
for
an
houre
,
Matth.
13.
21.
a
faith
that
liveth
for
an
houre
is
a
sickly
,
dying
faith
.
Thirdly
,
some
are
a
step
nearer
,
they
have
joy
in
Christ
,
Matth.
13.
20.
and
the
word
of
the
Prophet
is
,
Ezek.
33.
32.
to
them
as
a
very
lovely
song
of
one
that
hath
a
pleasant
voyce
,
and
can
play
well
on
an
Instrument
;
the
Gospel
is
sweet
to
many
,
but
they
come
not
nearer
,
they
will
not
heare
,
nor
obey
.
Fourthly
,
some
tast
of
the
good
Word
of
God
,
and
of
the
powers
,
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
{non-Roman}
,
the
manifold
powers
of
the
life
to
come
,
Heb.
6.
5.
yet
come
never
nearer
to
Christ
,
but
fall
off
,
as
if
they
were
afraid
to
bee
converted
,
they
goe
not
a
fift
step
farther
on
to
give
themselves
up
wholly
to
Jesus
Christ
.
It
is
not
the
Seamens
way
onely
;
but
1.
Malignants
,
and
Prelats
and
Papists
see
God
in
this
worke
,
they
wonder
,
and
yet
they
resist
,
Esay
26.
11.
Lord
thy
hand
is
exalted
,
they
see
not
,
they
shall
see
and
bee
ashamed
for
their
envy
at
the
people
:
in
this
worke
that
the
Lord
is
working
in
the
three
kingdomes
,
there
bee
sundry
notes
of
divinitie
and
footsteps
of
God
,
and
Malignants
doe
but
wonder
;
as
1.
when
Prelats
and
Malignants
were
on
the
top
of
their
wheeles
,
God
,
from
despised
and
contemned
beginnings
,
raised
the
worke
to
a
great
height
;
2.
our
adversaries
were
agents
,
and
would
not
rest
,
but
did
cooperate
to
their
owne
destruction
:
They
would
move
the
King
to
change
Religion
in
Scotland
against
all
Lawes
.
2.
They
would
stirre
him
up
to
raise
Armies
by
Sea
and
Land
against
Scotland
.
3.
They
moved
the
King
to
break
the
articles
of
peace
,
and
the
word
of
a
Prince
to
his
Subjects
,
after
an
accommodation
,
and
set
him
on
bloody
warres
againe
.
4.
After
his
Army
was
defeated
and
a
Parliament
granted
in
England
they
moved
him
first
to
come
and
yeeld
to
all
that
is
just
and
right
in
a
Parliament
of
Scotland
,
but
against
their
mind
,
with
no
purpose
to
keepe
their
faith
,
and
then
to
raise
Tragicall
and
bloody
warres
in
England
,
and
in
all
these
they
were
coagents
and
workers
with
a
judiciall
and
secret
providence
,
to
their
owne
destruction
.
3.
They
have
beene
searching
to
find
out
,
that
our
intentions
were
not
to
establish
Religion
in
power
and
puritie
,
and
to
bee
freed
of
the
bondage
of
arbitrary
and
tyrannicall
domination
over
Church
and
State
,
but
to
change
monarchy
,
and
set
up
another
government
;
this
they
could
never
yet
find
.
4.
They
see
God
against
them
,
prophanitie
and
wickednesse
on
their
side
,
and
with
them
Papists
,
Idolaters
,
Irish
murtherers
,
the
cruellest
of
men
,
the
scumme
and
refuse
of
the
Churchmen
,
yet
they
will
not
see
God
in
this
.
5.
They
find
and
see
their
treachery
,
popery
,
tyranny
discovered
by
many
plots
come
to
light
,
by
letters
under
the
Kings
hand
,
their
intentions
to
bring
in
a
forraigne
nation
,
ere
popery
and
arbitrary
government
bee
not
established
;
and
that
all
Treaties
have
beene
intended
,
not
for
a
just
peace
,
but
for
this
end
that
a
peace
being
once
patched
and
sowed
up
,
all
things
shall
returne
to
their
ancient
Channels
,
as
the
King
speakes
in
his
instructions
to
his
Commissioners
at
Vxbridge
,
yet
they
will
not
see
God
in
all
these
passages
of
his
deepe
providence
.
If
naturall
men
wonder
at
the
power
and
excellency
of
Christ
,
in
that
hee
with
a
word
commands
Sea
and
winds
,
and
they
obey
him
;
should
not
Christ
bee
to
us
a
worlds
wonder
?
should
hee
not
bee
to
us
altogether
lovely
?
were
it
possible
to
lay
in
the
counter-scale
of
the
ballance
to
Christ
a
world
of
Angels
,
put
in
yet
millions
of
worlds
of
Angels
,
adde
to
them
a
world
of
Solomons
with
tripled
wisedome
,
put
in
all
the
delights
of
the
sonnes
of
men
,
put
in
yet
the
flowre
and
Rose
of
ten
thousand
possible
worlds
perfections
,
they
should
bee
under-weight
to
him
,
the
ballance
should
never
downe
.
Oh!
wee
glory
in
good
armies
,
wee
rejoyce
in
victories
and
successe
,
in
a
good
Parliliament
,
in
godly
Commanders
,
in
a
good
reformation
,
all
is
excellent
to
us
,
that
hath
any
lustre
or
glimpse
of
created
goodnesse
,
but
why
doe
wee
not
rather
wonder
,
admire
and
extoll
excellent
Jesus
Christ
?
who
setteth
him
on
high
above
the
skies
?
who
lifts
up
his
throne
and
his
glory
?
Consider
but
what
is
said
of
him
,
Col.
1.
15.
Who
is
the
image
of
the
invisible
God
,
the
first
borne
of
every
creature
,
Vers
.
16.
For
by
him
were
all
things
created
,
&c.
17.
And
hee
is
before
all
things
,
and
in
him
all
things
consist
.
18.
And
hee
is
the
head
of
the
body
the
Church
,
who
is
the
beginning
,
the
first
borne
from
the
dead
,
that
in
all
things
hee
might
have
the
preheminence
;
see
what
wonders
are
there
in
Christ
,
as
first
,
hee
is
Gods
equall
,
every
way
as
high
as
God
,
being
the
substantiall
Image
of
God
,
begotten
of
the
Father
,
and
without
all
beginning
.
Secondly
,
as
man
the
eldest
of
the
creation
of
God
,
and
as
God
the
Creator
of
the
new
world
.
Thirdly
,
no
lesse
the
Creator
of
all
then
the
Father
;
wee
have
a
head
who
can
make
and
unmake
all
the
glorious
Angels
in
heaven
,
the
royallest
of
the
house
of
heaven
,
these
principalities
and
powers
,
these
little
Gods
,
the
eldest
and
supreme
Courtiers
,
the
higher
house
of
the
Peeres
of
heaven
,
are
but
peeces
of
dependent
shadowes
that
fell
from
the
fingers
of
our
highest
King
,
when
hee
framed
this
great
all
,
and
the
rich
Palace-Royall
of
this
greatest
body
of
heaven
and
earth
and
all
the
furniture
within
the
bosome
of
the
great
world
.
Fourthly
,
the
Lord
Jesus
hath
all
the
created
world
so
in
the
hollow
of
his
hand
,
as
a
man
that
holdeth
a
bowle
of
glasse
in
his
hand
in
the
aire
,
should
hee
take
his
arme
from
under
it
,
it
should
fall
to
the
earth
and
breake
in
a
hundred
peeces
,
and
doe
no
more
good
,
if
Christ
in
whom
all
things
consist
(
some
say
)
as
the
notes
of
an
excellent
musick
in
a
song
,
draw
in
his
armes
of
conserving
providence
,
the
world
should
go
all
out
of
tune
,
and
the
Globe
of
Crystall
glasse
should
fall
to
a
thousand
meere
nothings
;
and
as
a
man
betweene
his
fingers
may
crush
an
Egge
,
so
hath
Christ
the
huge
created
Lump
of
the
whole
creation
in
his
hand
,
if
hee
but
thrust
his
two
fingers
together
with
a
little
crush
,
all
the
world
is
dissolved
like
a
broken
Egge
.
Fiftly
,
hee
is
the
head
of
the
Church
,
and
such
a
head
as
is
deaths
eldest
sonne
and
heire
,
hee
lay
in
deaths
wombe
,
and
as
the
doubly
blessed
first-borne
,
had
the
key
of
death
with
him
in
the
inner
side
,
and
opened
the
wombe
and
tooke
away
the
ports
and
gates
of
death
on
his
backe
,
that
now
all
the
younger
brethren
might
come
out
at
the
same
passage
also
;
yea
hee
came
a
bridegroome
from
heaven
to
suite
in
marriage
a
bride
his
Church
,
was
sicke
,
and
died
of
love
for
a
Princes
daughter
his
lovely
Church
,
&
rose
the
third
day
from
death
,
and
married
her
.
Sixtly
,
he
hath
so
the
absolute
preheminence
in
all
things
that
the
highest
of
the
Angels
are
but
his
vassals
and
servants
,
&
is
now
in
such
incomparable
eminency
of
Glory
,
above
all
creatures
,
that
when
the
beloved-disciple
John
who
came
that
neare
to
him
in
the
dayes
of
his
flesh
,
that
hee
leaned
on
his
bosome
,
saw
him
in
his
glory
,
hee
fell
downe
at
his
feet
dead
,
Revel.
1.

yea
there
was
more
of
heaven
in
Christ
then
his
eyes
of
flesh
could
behold
.
