which hath bin cut downe with the sithe withereth in a moment euen so in a moment shall the magnificeÌ„ce of the wicked lose that glorious shew wax pale wan as if they were tainted The herbs flowers in the gardeÌ„s are not so quickly withered as thou shalt see the ritches of the wicked decay and come to naught hast thou not considered the Emerocall a very beautifull flower truly for one day which in the morning hath a fresh ruddy colour and keepeth his fine ruddinesse all day long and at euening becommeth so drie withered as that a man would thinke it had beene tainted by the Isie teeth of the winter Euen so the prosperitie of the wicked if their prosperitie may be so called is but a laughing or smiling deceiuer of an outward apparant felicity and may be most properly likened vnto this flowre for it withereth so suddenly altereth in so short a time is transformed into such a fashioÌ„ as is wonderful to behold 3 Put thy trust therefore in God beleeue verily that the insolencie of the wicked shal neuer be firme so long as the iustice of God shal rule reign and beleeue also that the iust shall neuer be forsaken in what affliction so euer they be And therefore be not discouraged but continue in well doing for he that shal perseuer shal be saued Dwell in the land which the Lord hath giuen thee and content thy selfe with the graces which he hath bestowed vpon thee neither enter thou into iudgment with him for thou shalt find in th' end that the riches of the wicked are but in the keeping of their own haÌ„ds 4 But reioice thou in the hope which thou hast in thy God put away the greeuous care which possesseth thine heart which as rust consumeth the same For when thou shalt haue once powred out thy spirit and lifted vp thy thoughts vnto the Lord he wil accomplish all thy desires and make thee enioy whatsoeuer thou wouldest wish 5 Neither come thou before him as it were waueringly nor mistrustingly ne hide thou thy thoughts from him but lay open vnto him the very bottom of thine heart and discouer vnto him all thy waies and cogitations For it is impossible for thee to deceiue him and a dangerous thing to trie him For he seeth and marketh all things especially a double and vnbeleeuing heart which he abhorreth of all the rest but receiueth and embraceth the poore and humble spirited man heareth his praiers and graunteth him before hand that which he is determined to craue 6 For he that standeth in his grace and fauour shall neuer want either wealth or honour if thou please him once he will make the glory of thy righteousnesse shine as a cleare light and cause the equitie of thy iudgements shine as bright as the sunne at noone daies For euery man shall see in each place the people following thee blessing thine house as a temple of iustice commending thy speech as an oracle and reuerencing thee as the very cause of their tranquillitie and libertie All men shall exalt thine integrity as the Tutrix of all good men sure defence of the afflicted And yet thou shalt haue more than all this for thou shalt receiue both honor and glorie and therefore humble thy selfe the more vnder the hand of thy God and acknowledge this benefit to come from him so yeeld him homage Now the homage which he requireth of thee is nothing else but thy mouth hands Thy mouth to offer him praise and thanks and thy hands to serue him according to his commaundements Heere yee see what the spirit of God as me thought sayd vnto me by word of mouth which I will communicate with you my friends and make ye partakers of these holie aduertisemeÌ„ts to the end that if ye shall see any man hereafter prosper in his affayres and blaspheme in his life ye be not offended threat neyther be ye angrie and grieued in your selues if ye see a man that dealeth vniustly abound in all kind of wealth 8 Be still therefore and qualifie that bitter humor which pricketh and hammereth so in your heads and then no doubt ye will neuer haue the hart to do him any hurt for all this For the requitall of good men is not only to do good for good but to require also good for euill 9 And all such as are carried away with an impatient heat to the procuring of anothers hurt and all they who in stead of leauing vnto God the reuenge which he reserueth vnto himselfe will vsurp the same shall be rooted out for euer and as insolent and saucie seruants which take vpon them the authoritie of their maister shall be shamefully and hardly punished But hee that possesseth his soule in patience and constantly attendeth the iudgement of God he will commend and blesse his obedience and after that he hath punished the wicked for their vnmercifulnesse he will also confiske their goods and possessions and make himselfe maister and possessor of them all 10 Wait but awhile and yee shall see the time come that hee whome yee haue seene to be so mightie and great and benefited himselfe so greatly by his sinnes and by his wicked and crafrie deuises stored vp an infinite number of goods and as hee him-selfe thought was in the hye way to heauen shall passe away like a running brooke where the water fleeteth away in great billowes where nothing shall bee seene saue mire and dirt and there shall not remayne onely so much as any marke of the place where hee had beene nor no more remembrance of him then of the winde that blew the sommer past 11 But contrarywise humble and mercifull men shall enioy his place be the successors of his wealth and reigne most assuredly in the land leauing his goods in succession to his children and peace shall be with his as an inheritance A ritch peace and a plentifull inheritance which â—auoureth all the rest of the goods without the which all the remayndeâ— is naught else but torment and affliction A peace that is sweeter then oyle and the honie that is most sweet which hatcheth in thy bosome all maner of pleasures and delightes which maketh vertue sprout out flower and nourisheth and ripeneth his holie fruites 12 Now this peace is the gift of God and none can geue it vs but his goodnesse and nothing can moue his goodnes to do it saue the reformation of our wicked liues For so long as there is warre within vs and sinne which is the seed of discord shall lodge with vs we can not hope or yet looke for either peace or rest But coÌ„trariwise if we can be at peace with God we shall be sure to be forthwith at peace with men and be in firme and most assured rest 13 I right well know that there will be alwayes some wicked men whose abhominable wills will go euen to the graue with them And I right well know that

maketh a good accompt of thy sinnes and art no more exempt from his iustice then any of the rest and will make thee haue compassion of thy selfe seeing thou wilt haue none of another and bewaile thine owne miseries because thou hast laughed at the miseries of others CHAPTER V. The prayer of Ieremiah IF so be it be true Ã´ Lord that we are thy people and thou our God behold vs a little consider the miserable estate wherein we stand Consider I say if there be any opprobrie in the world wherewith we haue not bene vtterly ouerwhelmed Looke not for it within the houses which our fathers built for vs neither yet in the prouinces which thou hast destined for vs For we our selues are banished and strange men enioy our goods We haue vnknowne heires which haue driuen vs out of our auncesters houses and sent vs away starke naked 2 We are like poore orphans whose fathers are dead and haue none to direct and guide vs. 3 We are like vnto mourning widowes that haue lost their husbands and although they are not dead yet are they in their widowhood and haue double occasion to weepe and bewaile the imprisonment captiuitie of their husbands A seruitude alas most rigorous yea such a one as is not to be named nay more then is able to be imagined For we are driueÌ„ to die of thirst to buy with our money the water of our owne fountaines and to moisten our poore dry toungs with cruel thirst We are enforced to buy againe our wood stick by stick and that very dearly to warme our selues withal although our poore members bee almost dead with colde 5 We haue borne the collar on our necks and haue bene yoked together like Oxen we haue drawne the waine laboured like beasts And although the cattle trauell all day yet take they their rest at night but there is no end of our paines taking neither do we finde any rest in our labours 6 As for vs we are sold for bread and yet must we runne vnto the furthermost parts of Egipt to finde those that must set vs a worke The Assirians thought to shew vs great fauour in making vs trauell day and night for a morsell of bread O Lord what an hard and pittifull slauery is this how is it possible that we should thus greeuously prouoke thee 7 I beleeue that thou hast put in a catalogue all the sinnes of our forefathers and heaped their sinnes on our heads What Ã´ Lord doth this rigour become thy bounty Shall our forefathers begone hence and shall their punishment remaine behind them Shall they be dead their sinnes liue And shall we beare them know not why 8 And if so be that they haue offended thee why hast thou giuen them the land of promise to possesse why hast thou subiected the strange nations vnto them Is it because that it is our turne to be the slaues vnto the slaues of our auncestors and that the world might see vs to be captiues to those that heretofore serued vs. 9 That we should be enforced with strokes to labour for our bread and to teke paines for others in our own land hauing our throates alwaies in danger of cutting and dwelling in the wildernesse in stead of our goodly houses 10 Behold Ã´ Lord if thou haue any eyes how they haue drest vs behold how our skins are cut and torne with beating they are us full of holes as a siue and there is not an white and free place in them Famine hath made vs as leane as rakes and they haue all to hacked and hewed vs. 11 If so be amongst all these their insolent dealings they had spared either age sexe or noble and wothy persons it had bene somwhat But their cruelty was alike both vnto male and female vnto young and old and vnto mighty and base Was there euer a wife in Sion whome they dishonoured not or euer a maid whom they forced not This weake sexe Ã´ Lord powred out before thee teares and sighes their imbecillity implored thine Almightinesse their inhumane iniurie thy diuine iustice 12 How handled they thy princes They hung them vp with their owne hands and the gray haired old men in whom old age had imprinted a kinde of reuerence and maiesty were drawne through the dirt by them and pluckt and torne as if they had bene amongst cruell Tygers 13 And â—hâ—t diâ—â—hey with the yong children thiâ—ke you Verily they abused them with most extreame vnsham-fastnesse and afterward knockt them in the heads thinking to extinguish thereby the remembrance of their abhomination and choke vp one fault with another 14 Alas O Lord what a strange alteration is this For when as we thinke vpon the flourishing estate of our countrey and set before vs that venerable assembly of our Senators placed as Gods on the earth to deliuer oracles vnto men and by their mouthes to forme the voice of iustice and call to mind the magnificence of our iusts and turnies and draw oâ—â€¦ as it were by line and by leuell our fine and pleasant dances where all the youth shined and glistered like the starres in a cleare and bright night 15 O good God what a griefe and sorrow is this Can we take any pleasure and delight after all this Must not wee sweare a perpetuall mourning and condemne our eyes vnto euerlasting teares 16 Is it possible that we should be able to liue after all this Is our griefe so small as that it is not sufficient to make vs dye Is our miserie so cruell as that it hath left vs eyes so long time to behold it and condemned vs to be so long while afflicted with so strange a miserie Must wee see at our feete the pieces of the Crowne which fell from our heads and tread vppon the shiuers of the Scepter which wee were wont to carrie in our hands and see our kingly ornaments puld in pieces before our faces Cursed bee wee who haue caused by our sinnes this desolation who haue enforced the iustice of God to visite vs in his furie and to poure vpon vs the fire of his wrath and anger 17 This is it that we must bewayle this must be heere the spring head of our teares for this is the fountaine of all our miseries These are yea these are our iniquities which haue changed the face of what soeuer we see to be before vs which haue made our champion grounds deserts wildernesses of our Cities rubbish of our houses and left nothing vnto our selues but an obiect of sadnesse and dolor to bleare our eyes with so monstrous a spectacle and to kill our hearts with so pirifull thoughts 18 For who is he that would not put out his eyes with much weeping and what is he whose spirit would not be dulled with very dotage when as he shall see this beautifull Syon the Garden of the world and the eye oâ— all Palestine to be made now a Warren of Foxes where nothing vse and haunt

not able to comprehend the reason For thy counsels are maruellous high and thy wisedome terrible profound But in the end Ã´ Lord whatsoeuer thou disposest off here in this world is finished by Iustice 26 For as many as withdraw them selues from thy obedience and estraunge them selues from thy grace shall perish most miserably and all they which breake the faith of the couenant which they haue sworne to serue theyr concupiscences and filthie lustes and goe an whoring â—ith the earth and with their carnall â—ffectioÌ„s all they that defile their consciences and prostitute their soules â—nto wicked and impioâ—s cogirations hall be rooted out and passe through the fury of thy reuenging hands 27 But as for me Ã´ Lord I will neuer depart from thee neither hope for any other felicitie but so to cleare stick fast to thy sides as that I will neuer depart thence I will so stedfastly looke â—pon thee as that I may obserue the twinklings of thine eyes and so confirme my selfe vnto whatsoeuer thou desirest of me follow ranke by ranke whatsoeuer thou commandest me I intend to put my whole trust in thee and seeing I know thee to be altogether good and almightie and as I assuredly beleeue that thou louest me so also will I constantly beleeue that thou wilt assist me and geue me all things that are necessary for me O how excelleÌ„t most assured is that hope that is built vpon the promise of the most good almighty God who hath geuen me such a number of earnest pence of his beneficence so many pawnes of his liberalitie that he might make me beleeue that I shall be assured of the reward which he hath promised me if I serue him faithfully Why doest thou my God most liberally bestow vpon me so many benefits why doest thou promise me such infinitenesse seeing there is in me nothing but sinne and infirmitie 28 I right well see Ã´ Lord that it is to the end that I may be the man to declare abroad euery where thine immensurable mercy and vnspeakeable goodnes and publish thy prayse throughout all the gates places of resort and secret corners of Syon thine holy Citie To the end that I going vp into thine holy hill amongst those whome thou hast assembled in thy Chuâ—ch for the receyuing of thy blessings and seruing of thy glory might make them vnderstand the secrets of thy wisedome which thou hast vouchsafed to reueale vnto me And that in addressing my voyce with that stile which thine holy spirit hath framed in the same I might vnfold the holy mystreries of thine incompreheÌ„sible wisedome to the end that euery one hearing me discourse of the knowledge wherein thou hast instructed mee might be had in admiration not of me who am but an hoarse instrument of thy glory but of the maruellous effects of thy quickning spirit who shall embolden me vnto this glocious hâ—â€¦y and solemne worke But Ã´ Lord after thou hast for a while entertained vs here in this estate vpoÌ„ this terrestriall Syon lift vp our eyes vnto that heauenly Syon embolden and encourage vs vnto the attayning of that blessed aboad and teach vs which are they vnto whome thou hast promised the same And teach vs also how we must carry our selues to be made worthy of so excellent holy and glorious a dwelling place O Lord who shall dwell in thy Tabernacle c. Psalme 15. 1 THE world Ã´ Lorâ— sith it hath so pleased thee is vnto vs a tedious pilgrimage wee dayly walke therein and cannot finde any nights rest for our wearyed members For if we thinke to lay downe our heads vpon the pillow or bolster to geue our eyes sleepe our afflictions importune vs like flyes yea and the very passions which are bred within our flesh do swell puffe vs vp and venome vs like dangerous scorpions and kill vs if we presently kill not them What are we like to hope after seeing that as we lack strength so must the miseries also needs grow vpon vs seeing that which way so euer wee turne or are any way able to turne vs we shall finde our selues altogether in the middest of the world and this world find it how and where we will is onely full of misery Where then shall we finde rest we shall neuer find it in this miserable life where-into we are put as chief wrestlers to striue against all manner of aduersities but rather Ã´ Lord in thy Tabernacle in the holy dwelling place of thy Godhead where our labors shal be crowned O blessed yea thrise blessed is he for whom thou hast prepared this so goodly and pleasant a withdrawing place for the mitigating and comforting of his paines and griefes past within the bosome of thy grace and resteth himselfe betweene the armes of thy mercy But who are they that shall one day dwell with the companions of thy blessednes glory for to heare that which is said of it this is not a place for all the world to come vnto for this is a place of a monstrous height and of an infinite largenesse and compassed adorned with incredible magnificence I know not what else to say vnto thee but that this is a very high hill vppon the top whereof is a maruellous beautifull Garden beset and furnished with all sorts of delicat fine flowres wherein also are plaÌ„ted many rowes of trees of infinit sorts of fruites and moystned bedeawed with most liuely and cleare running waters Certainly this is a veâ—y hye hil in deed for who soeuer commeth there must on euery side runne through grieuous and hard tribulations yea an hundreth times harder then either the flint or rocky stone And he that will come there must be alwayes farre from the center of the earth that is to say hee must no be too too farre in loue with himselfe but must tread vnder his feet all sensuall and earthly affections This is in truth like a most flourishing Garden for in it are resident the seeds and causes of all things which dayly bring forth most infinit goodly effects and most noble and excellent works for the partitions and deuisions thereof there is a goodly disposing of the parâ—â€¦ of the world so iustly and euenly measured as possibly can be deuised The frutes thereof are the pleasant and sweet sauouring contemplations of wisedome wherewith it nourisheth and satisfieth the soules there dwelling The running waters thereof are the spring heads issuing from the eternall bountie which spreadeth it selfe from an high ouer all the parts of the world and coÌ„tinually batheth and refresheth them O most beautifull holy hill who shal ascend vnto thy top and who shal rest in the bosome of this so glorious and delightfull an abiding place 2 Euen he that is purified within the sacred flames of an holy and deuout zeale that hath so eased his soule of the dregs of the world that there is nothing left to hinder his course from going that way For when the desire of our
