as to put a difference between the soul of a Beast and the spirit of a Man for the soul of a Beast goes down to to the earth from whence it came and the spirit of man returneth unto God that gave it so to make diverse accompts of the Bodies of Mankind and the Bodies of other living Creatures in so much as the Body of Adam was resolved on and was afterwards the workmanship of thine own hands and endued with a soul from thine own breath But much more since the second Adam thy blessed Son by taking upon him our nature exalted this flesh of ours to be flesh of his flesh whose flesh thou sufferedst not to see Corruption so that the Body returns to the earth and the soul to him that gave it It shall from thence return again it is but a rest and a rest in hope as saith the Psalmist for it is a righteous thing with God that the Body which was partaker with the soul both in doing and suffering should be rais'd again from the Earth to be partaker also with the soul of the reward or punishment which God in Mercy or Iustice shall reward not to one of them alone but jointly to them both There being then so great difference it is not thy will ô Lord that our Bodies should be cast out as the Bodies of Beasts to become dung for the earth or our bones lye scatter'd abroad to the sight of the sun But when thy servants are gathered to their Fathers their Bodies should be decently and seemly laid up in the bosom of the Earth from whence they were taken Neither is it thy pleasure ô Lord that they should be buryed as an Asse in the open fields but in a place chosen and set apart for that purpose For even so from the Begining we find that the holy Patriarchs Abraham the Father of the faithfull would not bury his dead in the common fields nay nor amongst the Bodys of the Hethites who were heathen men but purchased a buriall-place for himself in the plain of Mamre which became as it were the Church-Yard of the Patriarchs therein they laid the dead bodies of Sarah his Wife of himself his son Isaac and Rebeccae his wife after them Jacob and Leah were buried there After this manner did the Patriarchs in old time who trusted in God sever themselves places for Burial whose children we are so long as we do their works and walk in the steps of their most holy Faith Ensuing then the steps of the Faith of our Father Abraham we for the same purpose have made choice of the very same place wherein we now are that it may be as the Cave of Mamre even Gods store-house for the bodies of such our Brethren and Sisters to be laid up in as he shall ordein there to be interr'd there to rest in the sleep of peace till the last Trump shall awake them for they shall awake and rise up that sleep in the dust for thy dew shall be as the dew of hearbs and the earth shall yield forth her dead We beseech thee good Lord to accept this work of ours in shewing mercy to the dead and mercifully grant that they whose bodies shall be here bestowed and we all may never forget the day of putting off the Tabernacle of this flesh but that living we may think upon death and dying we may apprehend life and rising from the death of Sin to the life of Righteousness which is the first rising of Grace we may have our parts in the second which is the rising to glory by thy Mercy O most gracious Lord God who doest live and govern all things world without end Priorem dein formulam per omnia secutus in Cathedram ibi se collocat atque Actum consecrationis promulgat IN DEI Nomine Amen Nos Lancelotus permissione divina Winton Episcopus hunc locum jacentem in vasto solo vulgo nuncupatum Ridgway-heath infra Parochiam Ecclesiae parochialis sanctae Mariae c. jam propriis sumptibus strenui viri Richardi Smith de Peertree Armigeri in circuitu Capellae noviter ab co quoque propriis sumptibus suis constitutae palis inclusum arboribus consitum continentem in longitudine 148 pedes aut circiter in latitudine 124 pedes aut circiter in toto vero circuitu 435 pedes aut circiter a pristinis aliisque quibuscunque communibus usibus profanis in usus sacros separandum fore decernimus sic separamus ac cundem inhabitantibus vel degentibus in familia Ric.
