South Iohn Chapman your poore seruaunt wisheth much increase of honor in this world and eternall ioy and felicitie in the world to come RIght Honorable my singular good Ladie and Mistresse whereas I find that ingratitude and forgetfulnesse of due reuerence to be performed of seruants toward Maisters Mistresses is among all sorts most odious as contrariwise diligence to please and reuerent dutifulnesse toward their sayd Maisters c. is in them a thing most laudable as among many other we reade of one Mucronius seruant afore time to a poore Artisan named Hargabus who being afterward called to be a Senator did still for euer yeeld such reuerēce vnto his said old poore Maister as thereby he did not onely giue cause of great ioy to Hargabus but it was esteemed in him a great praise and increase of honour to be so dutiful to him that had brought him vp In regard whereof I your Ladiships seruant being desirous to make knowne to the world the obedient dutie seruiceable minde that I beare to your honor haue thoght good for want of better opportunitie to present your Ladiship with the education of the plotting and publishing of this miraculous worke of God touching the straunge mouing of certaine ground at VVestram in Kent whereof I with diuers others haue bin witnesses Humbly beseeching your good Ladiship to accept this as a poore new yeares gift at the handes of him who prayeth vnto God that your honourable Ladiship may enioy many happy new yeares and is and alway will be ready and diligent to please your Ladiship to the vttermost of his power Your Ladiships faithfull and obedient seruant Iohn Chapman An admonition to the Christian Reader AS it is most euident to them that are of the houshold of faith that in the beginning our most gracious God did by his mightie power create and fashion the whole frames of the heauens aboue and all things else on earth beneath so also it is no lesse manifest but y t by his wonderfull and vnsearchable prouidence hée doth from time to time preserue and kéepe gouern guide alter and change and euery way dispose thereof according to his owne good will and pleasure and as it séemeth best to himselfe for the glory of his blessed name and the good of his chosen children deare to him in Christ Iesus to whom therfore be praise glory now and euermore Amen These things I say are most apparant vnto men And yet notwithstanding the bright eye of his Almightie maiesty continually pearcing into our hearts and sounding déeply the vnséene secrets of mens deceitfull thoughts doth by his diuine wisedome sée and perceiue that many there bee who haue their continuall conuersation among his children and do sometimes sucke the fatte of the earth more plentifully then they doo who yet lyke vnto bruite beastes destitute of reasonable soules can goe no further in contemplation of spirituall matters then their bodily sences common vnto beastes which doe leade and direct them And therefore these carnall men as the Apostle tearmeth them haue as he saith no taste nor sence of diuine matters nor any perceiuing of those things that do appertaine vnto God yea there bee some of them so farre from hauing any reuerent estimation and religious féeling of his gratious maiestie and especially from acknowledging of his fatherly goodnes and watchful prouidence sustaining thē and theirs in their dayly necessitie of life and liuing as that vnto themselues and in their owne hearts they saye plainlye and that the Lorde himselfe doth knowe that there is no God at all This damnable impietie although it doo deserue as a most blasphemous contempt of the sacred deitie to be no waies tollerated but to be most sharply censured and rigorously punished either with the fearefull fier that fell vpon Sodom or the suddayne gaping of the ground that swalowed vp Corah or the swarming lice vermin which did féede vpon the flesh of that presumptuous Herod and deuoured his loathsome carkesse aliue yet such is the great patience and long suffering of the Lorde as that hée doth vouchsafe to forbeare to execute his sharpe iustice vpon the same for a time and in the meane while as one pittying this naturall blindnesse doth most bountifully as it were put foorth his glorious hand and therein doth holde out such lampes of light as maye clearely shine vnto vs and be as the starre to the wisemen was at Christ his byrth sufficient guides to leade vs out of this grosse darknesse of error and ignorance and bring vs to finde him where he is if we applye our selues as they did to followe the course and footing of y e same going before vs euen here vppon the earth For séeing we be thus hardly tyed vnto our outward sences and so strongly pressed down with the heauy sway therof as that we cannot passe higher then the reache of them and so resting thereupon become altogither vnapt to mount a loft and ascend by fayth to discerne him sitting aboue in the height of the heauens in his inuisible maiestie he doth not yet leaue vs héere and forsake vs so but to the intent our dead and benummed consciences might euen by these our naturall sences be sufficiently conuinced in this point and further our humaine dulnesse if it may be stirred vp to haue some more
