To the Right Honorable Thomas Earle of Exeter Lord Baron of Burleigh Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter one of his Maiesties most Honourable Priuy Councell and Lord Lieutenant for the Countie of North-hampton RIght Honorable It is not long since I came forth in a Marchants shippe and nowe it is Gods prouidence and your good pleasure that I shall publish my selfe in a storme In the appeasing whereof since it hath pleased your Honour to vse my seruice as the word ioyned with the Sword or rather as the Sword of the Spirit with the Sword of Iustice I haue discharged my selfe as indifferently as I could to the cutting downe of offence in all It is true that we are fallen into tempestuous and troublesome times wherein the excessiue couetousnesse of some hath caused extreame want to other and that want not well disgested hath riotted to the hazard of all yea and by these stormes we are cast among the rocks euen two the most dangerous rocks of estate Oppression of the mighty and Rebellion of the manie by mischiefe wherof many florishing kingdomes and countries haue miscarried and so had we in this vndoubtedly had not God by your good indeauors preuented it therfore between these two rocks I saile admonishing in the passage the one sort that is the Mighty that man liueth by bread but the other sort that is the Many that mā liueth not by bread only to the intent that they which know the ordinary course of God in preseruing nature might make a conscience of impairing the means of mans preseruation and they likewise which knowe that God hath wayes to preserue beyond the meanes of nature might learne with christian wisdome patience to temper thēselues in want And because Right Honorable wee haue obtained great quietnesse through you your worthy Agents and that great things are done vnto our countrie through your prouidence God forbid but that as Tertullus did to Foelix so we much more to you should acknowledge it wholy in all places with all thanks yet in this we are bold to intreat you that as you haue bin meanes for the due execution of iustice vpon the rebellious so likewise as opportunity shall serue to promote the cause cōplaints of the expelled halfe pined and distressed poore that they rebell no more It is the end of al mens exaltation according to the proportiō of their state powre to do workes of mercy iustice for he that sat vpon a throne did confesse that the thrones were set vp for iudgement Psal 122. Now iudgement looketh both wayes and therfore as it chastiseth the offendor so it represseth him likewise by whose couetousnes cruelty the offence cōmeth especially it will be looked for at your hands Right honorable strongly to maintaine the cause of corne of bread God hauing giuen you a sheafe supported with Lyons as the highest top chiefest eminence of your Honor.

Math. 4. 4. But hee answering sayde It is written Man shall not liue by bread onely but by euery word that proceedeth out off the mouth of GOD. HE that said the whole life of man was nothing else but a time of temptation hee sayd very fearefullie and yet very truelie for we are tempted in old age and in our cradles wee are not free If any euil stand before vs we are prouoked to do it and when at any time we haue done well we are euen tempted in it if wee abound as Adam did in Paradise there be intismentes in that or if we want as Christ did in the wildernes there may be death in that so expert is the enemy whom God hath sent to exercise vs that according to time and place to each mans state nature he hath wherin to allure vs and serueth himself of al occasions And because we are fallen into a time wherein pouerty without patience hath much disordred vs I haue therfore chosen to speake of the hungry temptation yet not of the temptation neither each mā being apt enough to tempt himselfe but rather of the answer to it for the diuel finding Christ of late first fasting then hungry in a desolate barren wildernesse where nothing was to be had aduiseth him not to looke vp to heauē frō whence in extreme want all help is to be waited for but rather to take the way that was next at hand by a new kind of Alchimy of stones to make himselfe bread vnto this Christ answereth him with the text I haue read man liueth not by bread onely c. and there is nothing in this whole story so sutable or so aptly speaking to the occasion season of the time as this for it is said before that Christ fasted meaning a religious fast as few do now and it is saide likewise that he was hungry and no maruell for he was in a place where was neither bred nor corn as may be now it is said likewise that thē the tempter came that is the Diuell came as all the world seeth he is vp and abroad now some he tempteth to turne bread into stones that is to decay the plenty of the earth as many rich greedy minded mē do now some he tempteth to turne stones into bread that is to vse vnlawful means for their own releife as the mad rebelious multitude doth now but in this verse Christ sheweth a bettet way for mens reliefe that is by resting thēselues in the pleasure prouidence of God which is for all men an apt godly answer to such a diuilish vngodlie temptation In which answer 3. things may bee considered first that Christ would answer the Diuill next the manner of his answer which is by scriptū est then lastly the substāce of his answer which is that man liueth not by bread onely but by euery word which commeth out of the mouth of God For the first a question may be mooued
