we shall bee O pinion of the minde are like diseases of the body all alike infinite V iolent passions makes men bandy controversies who fight with their Pens like Souldiers with their Pikes wounding the peace of the Church R eligion is more practicall then theoriticall rather an occupation then a meer profession dwelling like an Artizan wit at singers end O ne man is an Atheist and beleeves no God another is an I dolater and worships many one will be of a new Religion another of none no matter to the Devill they are both travelling towards his kingdome Roome never means us so sudden a storm as when she makes faire weather and beares us in hand all is peace D ogs are fawning but sicophantising Iesuits are worse for their tongues doe more harme then their teeth E very man that will not adhere to the God of truth shall be turned over to the faither of lies R esist the Devill and he will flye from thee give to God obedience to thy Prince allegiance to superiours reverence to the weak assistance to the Devill and sin resistance O ur day is broken why day we sleep in sin when the Sunne is up good husbands thinke of rising the slumber of the body and the soul is not much unlike R epent therefore in life that thou maiest finde comfort in death that thou maiest be acquitted at the day of judgement of Jesus Christ O ur entrance into this world is full of weaknesse our proceeding full of wickednesse our departure full of wretchednesse P ray that you may leave the earth when you know the way perfectly to heaven desire to live till you are inspired by grace desire to dye when you are assured of glory E very man with Paul learne to dye daily for no man knows when he shall dye therefore be evermore armed with expectation N ever expect peace without Christ whosoever dyes in peace dyes in Christ the Prince of peace O ur breath is in our bodies the life of our soules is in heaven our bodies move upon earth let our heart dwell in heaven R ighteousnesse must dwell in those that looke to dwell in heaven where righteousnesse dwelleth for Christ is the Lord of righteousnesse D eath takes the clocke of our life asunder but then the omnipotent Maker takes it into his owne hand and sets it together againe at the Resurrection E nquire not what heaven is too curiously lest thou have a snib as Manoah had for asking the Angels name it is secret and wonderfull R emember Gods mercies and blessings to us in all times of this pilgrimage and he will hear us when we pray with the penitent theefe Lordremember us in thy Kingdome Silence STand right in your Files Stand right in

according to my intention of brevity is needlesse to be here inserted they having been sufficiently written of by your Trained Band teachers I shall but only present you further with what firings are necessary for our present service out of a single Company or Regiment wishing heartily all noble Captaines and their officers would conforme themselves to these brief rules using no other words of Command then what are here used Y our single Company being drawne up Regiment wise at three foot distance being your order and your Pikes all shouldered the manner of firing to the Front is first let the two first Ranks making ready advance 8 or 10 paces from the Body the rest of the Ranks marching to the front of Pikes which two Ranks having presented and fired one after another let them march off to the right and left hand the next two ranks doing the same with the rest successively as long as you please when you draw near to your Enemy or by way of supposition charge over your Pikes three ranks deep and the rest ported following the charge T o fire from the reare first command your Body to advance their Pikes then face them about to the right or left and then shoulder your Pikes againe moving your Body command the two last Ranks to make ready being ready command the last Ranke to the Rear present who is to turn to the right hand and give fire and so turning up to the right and left advanceth into Front placing themselves before their Leaders the rest of the Ranks doing the same successively one after another T o fire from your right and left stanks command the right and left hand file to make ready which done marching your Body command them to present to the right and left and so give fire which being done let the files stand and charge their Muskets again by which time the two next files wil have performed the like who are also in like manner to stand facing toward their Commander and the first file is immediately to march up to the second the next files having done the like are to stand the first and second file advancing up to them and so of all the rest successively making up your Body again with all speed that may be T here is sometimes another firing used standing whereby an Enemy may receive suddenly a very hot charge when you are retreating command your Body to face about to the right or left and then let them all make ready which done standing let the first Ranke fire and fall off into the Reare and so the rest of them in like maner successively one after another your Pikes retreating back as your body loseth ground Y ou are to use your endeavour to bring your souldiers to know the severall notes of a Drum and what he is to performe upon the hearing of them your Pikemen being to be shouldered upon the beat of a march and advanced upon the beat of a troop This thing perfected will be sufficient for our present service to which God give 〈◊〉 FINIS

for death that ends other miseries begins his that falls away from God R emembrance of one daies sin brings to minde how great a masse many dayes have made up too great a bottome for one houres sorrow to ravell out I n youth I was too yong now I am too old between both these time I had other businesse so to shufflle off repentance is very dangerous G ods patience invites our repentance his sparing us so long is that our amendment might proeure him to spare us for ever H ee that hath any motion of repentance in his soule or but a touch of sorrow a sparke of hope a graine of saith be comforted the God of mercie will not have him perish T his is our day the next is the Lords if we do not in this day provide for that that day shall condemne us for the losse of this H ee that hath a secret pride root out that or a secret infidelity cast out that strive not to know where or when we shall be judged but how we shall answer the Judge A s no day without sin so let no day passe without sorrow such showres kill the weeds of lust and spring the herbs of grace N ot a Lot in Canaan without a Joshua our Captaine no roome in heaven without a Jesus our King D oe not protract thy conversion for if thou repell or neglect one good motion thou art not sure of a second W ithout some sawce of sorrow all worldly delights are but like delicate meat to a man that hath lost his taste give God leave to scrourge us so long as he doth save us H ee that is lowest in the World if his conversation be in Heaven is the highest let his feet stand upon the earth his head is in heaven E very one puts off conversion and at twenty send Religion afore them to thirty from thence forty and yet not pleased to entertaine it at threescore at last comes death and allowes not an houre E very man repent while he lives that he may rejoyce when he dyes L et every man be sure to repent one day before his death but hereof thou canst not be sure unlesse thou repent every day E arth must do something to bring it selfe to heaven Gods bountifuluesse is beyond our thankfulnesse then looke to thine owne duty T o speake of vertue is nothing the labour of it is to shew the power of it in vertuous actions O ur conversation is the Index of our estate if that be bad the credit of our profession is lost and we are broke in our Religion T hat heart that conceives grace will bring it forth for he that gives strength denies not strength to bring it forth H ee that is truly called hath a sincere devout affection to Christ and above all things loves the place where his honour dwells E vill men may shew the good they have not but good men cannot hide the good they have L et thy life grow white thy haires lest thou be full of daies and fuller of sinne E very mans conscience testifies that there is a rule which if he follow hee does well and is at peace if not he findes trouble with feare of punishment F aith is the foundation of a Christian but that once lost all is desperate T he good man sleeps more secure in his tent then a sinner in his barracadoed fortifications H appy is the man that cares not to call any thing his owne save Jesus Christ A righteous soul is alwayes like the body of a square figure lay it how you list it will still be constant and like it selfe N o neighbourhood is able to make the Serpent and the Woman the cursed seed of the one and the blessed seed of the other agree D eath is contrary to life and commonly they that live like Laban dye like Nabal which is but the same word inverted W hen man turnes himselfe out of Gods service all the creatures serving him are turned out of his service H ee that plaies on purpose to lose is not like to win therefore be resolved against transgression as you would be resolved of your salvation E ither never chuse me or never lose me this is vertues charge to begin in the spirit and end in the flesh in Pauls sense is folly E very man must fall and as the tree falls so it must lye and commonly it falls to that side which is most loaden with fruit the fruit of obedience to the right hand and of wicked nesse to the left L et us eat to live not live to eat for when we have devoured the most delicate creatures the wormes shall devoure us E very man that lives dishonestly will dye shamefully Saul so bloudied against David that the Priests became unmercifull to him T he lesse space a man hath allowed him for his businesse the more let him ply it the fewer dayes the fruitfuller lessons O sinner thy life is short the world is not long but hell is eternall of whose torment there is no cessation and from which there is no redemption T i me past is irrecoverable the future to us is contingent and our very now is slippery and transcient this is all the terme we have we must enjoy this or none H oly David ran the way of Gods Commandements it is but folly to ask why he made such haste when we know he would faine be at home E very day will I blesse and praise thy name saith David the day will have an evening if his praise should last no longer night would bring in silence but for ever and ever R I de faire and foftly is the weary travellers rule when he comes near his journeyes end but if we lag so in the way of godlinesse we shall never come to the end of our expected journey I s there fulnesse of joy in Heaven yes but thy laughing and singing in a Taverne is no paterne of it G reat honour and glory is in heaven but our base covetous desires of the riches of this world are no paternes of it H eavenly musicke and harmony is above but our wanton sonnets and drunken carches are no paternes of it T here is peace and rest above but mans idle security and slippery neglects are no paternes of it H eavenly beauties with clarity are above but mans peecing the defects of nature with art dressing up of dust in rich atires are no paterns of it A great light shines above but the workes of darknesse that is in man is no reflection of it N othing but pure innocencie is above but mans rapines rage and bloudinesse are no resemblances of it D oubtlesse there is perfect obedience above but mans rebellions are no modules of it O ther language then the praises of Christ is not heard in heaven mans oaths curses and blasphemies are not like those sounds R epent and for sake your sinnes while it is called to day remember the covenat we made
