arme and heaped treasures of raigne haile and snow to doe thee seruice Hath he not in the midst of the world laid the foundations of the earth that thou mightest haue a stable habitation and mightest from thence behold euerie way thou lookest the wals of his beautifull pallace Hath he not gathered the waters into one place and made the drie land appeare and drawne forth by his power a pure substāce of aire betweene heauē earth that fishes might multiplie in the seas foules in great aboundāce flie in the opē face of the firmament tender plants hearbs flowers and trees in all varietie grow and fructifie vpon the ground yea creeping things cattell and beasts increase in infinite number in pastures fields gardēs orchards groues and all these to doe thee pleasure Hath he not further giuen thee springs and riuers gold and siluer pearles and iewels euen plentie of streames stoanes and mettal to furnish thee with whatsoeuer for profite thou needest or for pleasure desirest Hath he not made thee Lord and ruler ouer all his creatures euen ouer the huge Elephants the Whale the strong Lion and Vnicorne and horse of warre ouer the sauage Tigars beares wolues ouer the mightie Eagle Griffin Vultur Ostrich and haulke Art thou not clad defended fed enriched cheered and renowned by these his creatures that al the parts of thy bodie senses of thy minde might be partakers of his goodnes and with his sweetnes refreshed comforted delighted in great measure Yea aboue all this hath he not breathed into thy bodie an immortall soule that thou mightest remaine with him in glorie for euer Did he not at the first frame thee like vnto himselfe that he might therefore loue thee as his sonne Did he not cast into thy spirit the beames of his wisedome that thou through thy vnderstanding mightest behold him his glory stirred vp sparkes of goodnes in thy heart that thou mightest by thy affection imbrace him and his bountie and be made perfectly blessed by his infinite happinesse who when Adam thy vngratefull father by distrusting him that had faithfully promised was throughly able to fulfill his will and resolutely determined exceedingly to aduance him hauing giuen him this whole world in testimonie thereof by discontenting his minde with the excellent estate he was placed in of vnspeakeable loue vnlesse he might be as good as God himselfe proudly desiring to make dust the fellow of him who was from euerlasting infinitly full of wisedome power grace and maiestie and had done all this at the perswasion of the most traiterous rebel of his right gracious king and spitefull enimie of his most bountifull master euen then when this most villanous conspiring with Gods notorious aduersarie had deserued immortall hatred against him all that pertained vnto him yea thee as yet vnborne but contained in him whose whole masse by this impious disobedience became by iust iudgemēt a temple of cursed estate for euer and for euer thou also thy selfe bringing forth fruite of cōtempt of his Law who is most holy mercifull and mightie yet euen then I say of vnspeakable pitie and compassion intended nay promised nay laboured to deliuer him and thee from that dreadfull vengeance which ye had purchased by your own wicked and vngratious demerits and to reconcile you base abiects and vile castawayes and yet stubborne and spightfull haters of the great God Iehouah who when there was no meanes to be found in heauen nor seas nor in the earth nor vnder the earth but that he should damne his onely begotten sonne the verie brightnes of his glorie who neuer offended him but was an eternall delight vnto his soule and reioycing vnto his spirit that thou mightest be saued a grosse lumpe of slime and clay still vexing him by thy wickednes yet deliuered his sonne into the full power of Sathan to put him to a most shameful death by the hands of most detestable persons and did cast him farre away out of his fauour and threw him downe into the bottomlesse pit of his vnsupportable wrath and indignation that thou mightest be placed betweene his owne armes in the kingdome of heauen in all roialtie and glorie as his deere and entirely beloued sonne Whie therefore wast thou ô my vnholy and vnthankfull nature so readie and prone so violent and headlong to commit thinges highly displeasant in his sight who in a manner and as farre as it was possible slew himselfe for thy saftie when he had no creature so disobedient vnto him as thee O thou my inward soule and spirite of my minde awake and stand vp to defend thy selfe for thou art besieged with mightie enimies the prince of darknesse the rulers of the aire the spirituall craftinesse and pollicies of hell why arisest thou not thou sluggard thy foes in great nūber are prepared with manie ambushmentes hauing a huge armie all maliciously bent with venimous dartes to pearce thorow thy heart they are entered thy hold at all fiue gates of thy outward sences yea they haue broken downe thy inward doores and haue left thee but one window towards heauen to escape by euen thy praiers whereto the spirite of God waiteth thy speedie comming make hast ô thou heauie with sleepe or thou art taken by thy cruell enimies whose handes are of iron and their teeth of steele to grinde thy verie bones to powder harken no longer to that stincking harlot thy wicked appetit which lying in thy bosome desireth nothing but thy vtter destruction shee perswadeth thee that thou art in no present daunger that shee may reioice at thy miserable end It may be thou thinkest O thou chiefe of fooles and oxe that art fed to the slaughter that though thou go on a little way in thy pleasant path thou maist returne backe when thou wilt and thy little wandring will not greatly be regarded O thou vnwise and sottish of heart when wilt thou vnderstand Hath the sonne of God indured such paine for the smallest of thy sinnes and makest thou so light account of so grieuous crimes Doth the law thunder curses and plagues and euerlasting torments against thy least vnordinate motions and didst thou not dread to performe so shamelesse a practice Knowest thou not that the eyes of God and his Angels behold the doing that thou wouldest be ashamed to doe in the presence of vngodly men or vncleane beasts or doest thou not consider how thou diddest grieue the spirite of God who hath vouchsafed of his infinite mercie to dwell in thy bodie to this end chiefly that he might mortifie thy carnall lusts Why didst thou then defile his temple which he hath sanctified to be an house for himself to dwell in take heed thou driue not out so worthie and noble a guest by such swinish and fleshly behauiour who if he once depart then shalt thou be an hold for diuels and legions of damned spirites that they may stuffe thee ful of al manner of iniquitie and then at length
