all the glorie of man as the flower of gras the grasse withereth and the flower thereof falleth away Psal 62. 9. Surely men of low degree are vanitie and men of high degree are a lie to be laid in the ballance they are altogether lighter then vanitie 39. 5. Verily euery man at his best state is altogether vanitie The end of the world 3. Math. 24. AS Iesus sate vpon the Mount of Oliues the disciples came vnto him priuately saying tell vs what shall bee the signe of thy comming and of the end of the world 4. And Iesus answered and said vnto them Take heede that no man deceiue you 5. For many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceiue many 6. And yee shall heare of warres and rumors of warres See that yee bee not troubled for all these things must come to passe but the end is not yet Math 24. 7. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdome against kingdome and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diuers places 8. All these are but the beginning of sorrowes 9. Then shall they deliuer you vp to be afflicted and shall kill you and yee shall bee hated of all Nations for my names sake 10. And they shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another 11. And many false prophets shall arise and shall deceiue many 12. And because iniquitie shall abound the loue of many shall waxe cold 13. But hee that shall endure vnto the end shall be saued 14. And this Gospell of the Kingdome shall be preached in all the world for a witnesse vnto all Nations and then shall the end come 21. Then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time no not euer shall bee Mat. 24. 22. And except those dayes should bee shortned there should no flesh bee saued but for the elects sake those dayes shall bee shortned 24. There shall arise false christs and false prophets and shal shew great signes and wonders in so much that if it were possible they shall deceiue the very elect 2. Tim. 3. 1. This know also that in the last dayes perilous times shall come 2. For men shall bee louers of their owne selues couetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to Parents vnthankefull vnholy 3. Without naturall affection truce-breakers false accusers incontinent fierce despisers of those that are good 4. Traytors heady high minded louers of pleasures more then louers of God 5. Hauing a forme of godlinesse but denying the power thereof from such turne away 6. For of this sort are they which creepe into houses and leade captiue silly women ladē with sins led away with diuers lusts 7. Euer learning and neuer able to come to the knowledge of the truth 2. Tim. 3. 8. Now as Iannes Iambres withstood Moses so do these also resist the truth men of corrupt mindes reprobate concerning faith 9. But they shall proceede no further for their folly shall bee manifested vnto all men as theirs also was Luke 21. 25. And there shall be signes in the Sunne and in the Moone and in the starres and vpon the earth distresse of nations with perplexitie the sea and the waters shall roare 26. Mens heart fayling them for feare and for looking after those things which are comming on the earth for the powers of heauen shal be shaken 27. And then shall they see the sonne of man comming in a cloude with power and great glory 28. And when these things shall begin to come to passe then looke vp and lift vp your heads for your redemption draweth nigh 13. Mar. 13. But of that day and houre knoweth no man not the Angels in heauen nor the son but the father Luke 21. 36. Watch yee therefore and pray alwayes that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to passe and to stand before the sonne of man 1. Thes 4. 15. For this we say vnto you by the word of the Lord that wee which are aliue and remaine vnto the comming of the Lord shall not preuent them which are asleepe 16. For the Lord himselfe shall descend from heauen with a shoute with the voice of the Archangel and with the trumpe of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first 17. Then we which are aliue and remaine shall bee caught vp together with them in the clouds to meete the Lord in the aire and so shall we euer be with the Lord. The Iudgement 27. Heb. 9. IT is appointed vnto all men to die but after this the Iudgement 7. Eccles. 12. The dust shall returne to the earth as it was and the spirit shall returne to God who gaue it 1. 2. Cor. 5. Wee know if our earthly house of this Tabernacle were dissolued we haue a building of God a house not made with hand eternall in the heauens Rom. 8. 10. The bodie is dead because of sinne but the spirit is life because of righteousnesse Gal. 6. 8. He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reape corruption but hee that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reape life euerlasting Iohn 5. 24. He that heareth my Word and beleeueth on him that sent me hath euerlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death vnto life 18. Psal 37. The Lord knoweth the daies of the vpright and their inheritance shall be for euer 20. But the wicked shall perish and the enemies of the Lord shall bee as the fat of lambes they shall consume into smoke shall they consume away 23. Rom. 6. The wages of sinne is death but the gift of GOD is eternall life thorough Iesus Christ our Lord. 22. The begger died Luke 16 and was carried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome the rich man also died and was buried 23. And in hell hee lift vp his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afarre off and Lazarus in his bosome 24. And he cryed and said father Abraham haue mercie on me and send Lazarus that hee may dip the tip of his finger in water and coole my tongue for I am tormented in this flame 25. But Abraham said sonne remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy good things and likewise Lazarus euill things but now he is comforted and thou art tormented 13. Wide is the gate Mat. 7. and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which goe in thereat 14. Straite is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth vnto life and few there bee that finde it 28. Iohn 15. The houre is comming in the which all that are in the graues shall heare his voice 29.

For I am the Lord thy God the holy One of Israel thy Sauiour 10. Before mee there was no God formed neither shal there be after me 11. I euen I am the Lord and besides me there is no Sauiour 44. 6. I am the first and I am the last and besides me there is no God 24. Thus saith the Lord thy Redeemer and he that formed thee from 〈◊〉 wombe I am the Lord that maketh all things that stretcheth foorth the heauens alone that spreadeth abroad the earth by my selfe 48. 12. Hearken vnto me O Iacob and Israel my called I am he I am the first and I am the last Act. 7. 49. Heauen is my Throne and earth is my footestoole Isa 45. 22.

To vs there is but one God the Father of whom are all things and we in him and one Lord Iesus Christ by whom are all things and we by him 6. Ephe. 4. There is one God Father of all who is aboue all and through all and in you all 28. In him we liue Act 17. and moue and haue our being for we are all his of spring 29. Forasmuch then as wee are the of-spring of God wee ought not to thinke that the Godhead is like vnto gold or siluer or stone grauen by 〈◊〉 and mans deuice 30. And the times of this ignorance God winked at but now commandeth all men euery where to repent 31. Because he hath appointed a day in the which he will iudge the world in righteousnesse by that man whom he hath ordained whereof hee hath giuen assurance vnto all men in that he hath raised him from the dead Reuel 4. 11. Thou art worthy O Lord to receiue glory and honour and power for thou hast created all things and for thy pleasure they are and were created 3. This is eternall life Ioh. 17. that we might know thee the onely true God and Iesus Christ whom thou hast sent 27. Psal 73. They that are farre from thee shal perish thou hast destroyed all them that goe a whoring from thee 4. 16. Their sorrowes shall be multiplyed that hasten after another God 5. 96. All the Gods of the Nations are Idols but the Lord made the heauens 6. Honour and Maiesty are before him strength and beauty are in his Sanctuary 89. 6. For who in the heauen can be compared vnto the Lord who among the sonnes of the mightie can be likened vnto the Lord 95. 7.

Search the Scriptures for in them ye think yee haue eternall life and they are they which testifie of me 〈◊〉 Receiue with meeknesse the ingrafted word which is able to saue your soules 31. These are written Ioh. 20. that ye might beleeue that Iesus is the Christ the Son of God and that beleeuing yee might haue life through his name 4. Rom. 15. For whatsoeuer things were written aforetime were written for our learning that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might haue hope 3. 1. Tim. 6. If any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholsome words euen the words of our Lord Iesus Christ and to the doctrine which is according to godlinesse 4.

Peruerse disputings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth supposing that gaine is godlinesse from such withdraw thy selfe Ioh. 8. 31. If ye continue in my word then are yee my disciples indeed 32. And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free 8. Pro. 8.

The Leuites and the Priests sent by Iehosaphat taught in Iuda had the booke of the Law of the Lord with them and went about throughout all the Cities of Iuda and taught the people 34. 31. Iosiah made a couenant before the Lord to walke after the Lord and to keepe his commandements his testimonies and his Statutes with all his heart and with all his soule to performe the words of the couenant which are written in this booke 32. And hee caused all that were present in Ierusalem Beniamin to stand to it And the Inhabitants of Ierusalem did according to the couenant of God the God of their fathers 35. Act. 15. Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch teaching and preaching the word of the Lord with many others also 11. 17. The Iewes of Berea were more noble then those in Thessalonica in that they receiued the word with all readinesse of minde and searched the Scriptures daily whether those things were so 12. Therefore many of them belieued also of honourable women which were Greekes and of men not a fewe Acts. 17. 1. When Paul and Silas had passed throrough Amphipolis
is certaine we can carrie nothing out 8. And hauing foode and raiment let vs be therwith content 9. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and hurtfull lusts which drowne men in destruction and perdition 10. For the loue of money is the roote of all euill which while some coueted after they haue erred from the faith and pierced themselues thorough with many sorrowes 20. Thou foole this night thy soule shall be required of thee Luk. 12. then whose shall those things bee which thou hast prouided 21. So is he that layeth vp treasure for himselfe and is not rich towards God Pro. 18. 11. The rich mans wealth is his strong citie and as an high wall in his owne conceit 11. 4. Riches profit not in the day of wrath but righteousnesse deliuereth from death Zepha 1. 18. Neither their siluer nor their gold shall be able to deliuer them in the day of the Lords wrath Luke 12. 15. A mans life consisteth not in the abundance of things which hee possesseth 31.

Auenge not your selues but rather giue place vnto wrath for it is written vengeaÌ„ce is mine I will repay saith the Lord. 3. Iames 1. The trying of your faith worketh patience 4. But let patience haue her perfect worke that ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing Rom. 5. 3. Tribulations worke patience 4. And patience experience and experience hope Luk. 21. 19. In your patience possesse ye your selues Phil. 4. 5. Let your moderation be knowne vnto all men Iam. 1. 19. Let euery man bee swift to heare slow to speake slow to wrath 20. For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousnesse of God Pro. 16. 32. Hee that is slow to anger is better then the mightie and hee that ruleth his spirit then he that taketh a citie 29. 14. Hee that is slow to wrath is of great vnderstanding but hee that is hastie of spirit exalteth folly 4. Wrath is cruell 27. and anger is outragious 9. Eccles 7. Bee not hastie in thy spirit to bee angry for anger resteth in the bosome of fooles 7. Iam. 5. Bee patient vnto the comming of the Lord behold the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth and hath long patience for it vntill he receiue the early and later raine 8. Bee yee also patient stablish your hearts for the comming of the Lord draweth nigh 10. Take the Prophets who haue spoken in the name of the Lord for an example of suffering affliction and of patience 11. Behold wee count them happy which indure yee haue heard of the patience of Iob and haue seene the end of the Lord that the Lord is pittifull and of tender mercy 1. Pet. 5. 10. The GOD of all grace who hath called vs into his eternall glorie by Christ Iesus after that yee haue suffered a while make perfect stablish strengthen settle you 11. To him bee glory and dominion for euer and euer Amen Humilitie 6. 1. Pet. 5. HVmble your selues vnder the mightie hand of God that he may exalt you in due time 5. Yea all of you bee subiect one to another and be clothed with humilitie for God resisteth the proud and giueth grace to the humble â—â—o 16. 19. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly then to deuide the spoile with the proud 11. 2. When pride commeth then commeth shame but with the lowly is wisedome Mat. 11. 29. Learne of me for I am lowly in heart â—uk 14. 11. Whosoeuer exalteth himselfe shall be abased and he that humbleth himselfe shall bee exalted â—phes 4. 1. Walke worthy of the vocation wherein yee are called 2. With all lowlinesse and meekenesse with long suffering forbearing one another in loue 3. Phil 2. Let nothing be done through strife or vaine-glory but in lowlinesse of minde let each esteeme other better then themselues 5. Let this minde be in you which was also in Christ Iesus 7. Who made himselfe of no reputation and tooke vpon him the forme of a seruant and was made in the likenesse of men 8. Hee humbled himselfe and became obedient vnto death euen the death of the crosse Phil. 2. 9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and giuen him a name which is aboue euery name 10. That at the name of Iesus euery knee should bow of things in heauen and things in earth and things vnder the earth 11. And that euery tongue should confesse that Iesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the father Psal 138. 6. Though the Lord be high yet hee hath respect vnto the lowly but the proude he knoweth afarre off 9. 25. The meeke will he guide in iudgement and the meeke will hee teach his way 34. Pro. 3. Surely he scorneth the scorners but he giueth grace vnto the lowly 6. Psal 147. The Lord lifteth vp the meeke hee casteth the vngodly downe to the ground 10. Luke 18. Two men went vp into the Temple to pray the one a Pharisee and the other a Publican 11. The Pharise stood prayed thus with himselfe God I thank thee that I am not as other men are exortioners vniust adulterers and euen as this Publican Luke 18. 12. I fast twise in the weeke I giue tithes of all that I possesse 13. And the Publican standing a farre off would not lift vp so much as his eyes vnto heauen but smote vpon his brest saying God be mercifull to me a sinner 14. I tell you this man went downe to his house iustified rather then the other for euery one that exalteth himselfe shall be abased and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted The holy Eucharist 26. IEsus tooke bread Mat. 26. and blessed it and brake it and gaue it to the Disciples and said take eate this is my body 27. And he tooke the cup and gaue thankes and gaue it to them saying drinke ye all of it 28. For this is my blood of the new Testament which is shed for many for the remission of sinnes 22. Iesus tooke bread Mark 14. and blessed and brake it gaue to them and said take eate this is my bodâ— 23. And hee tooke the cup and when hee had giuen thankes hee gaue it to them and they all dranke of it 24. And hee said vnto them this is my blood of the new Testament which is shed for many Luke 22. 19. Hee tooke bread and gaue thankes and brake it and gaue vnto them saying this is my body which is giuen for you this doe in remembrance
of me 20. Likewise also the cup after supper saying this cup is the new Testament in my blood which is shed for you 16. 1. Co. 10. The cup of blessing which wee blesse is it not the Communion of the blood of CHRIST The bread which we breake is it not the Communion of the body of Christ 17. For we being many are one bread and one body for we are all partakers of that one bread 23. The Lord Iesus the same night in which hee was betraied tooke bread 24. And when hee had giuen thankes he brake it and said take eate this is my body which is broken for you this doe in remembrance of mee Cor. 11. 25. After the same manner also hee tooke the cup when he had supped saying this cup is the new Testament in my blood this doe as oft as ye drinke it in remembrance of me 26. For as often as yee eate this bread and drinke this cup yee doe shew the Lords death till he come 27. Wherefore who soeuer shall eate this bread and drinke this cup of the Lord vnworthily shall bee guiltie of the body and bloud of the Lord. 28. But let a man examine himselfe and so let him eate of that bread and drinke of that cup. 29. For he that eateth and drinketh vnworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himselfe not discerning the Lords body 3. Cor. 10. Our fathers did all eate the same spirituall meate 4. And did all drinke the same spirituall drinke for they dranke of that spirituall rocke that followed them and that rocke was Christ 35. Iesus said Ioh. 6 I am the bread of life he that commeth to mee shall neuer hunger and he that beleeueth on me shall neuer thirst 51. I am the liuing bread which came downe from heauen If any man eate of this bread he shall liue for euer and the bread that I will giue is my flesh which I will giue for the life of the world 56. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me and I in him 58. Not as your fathers did eate Manna and are dead he that eateth of this bread shall liue for euer 63. Iohn 6. It is the spirit that quickeneth the flesh profiteth nothing the words that I speake vnto you they are spirit and they are life 28. 16.
