         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           is
           indeed
           the
           resurrection
           of
           the
           Soul
           in
           this
           world

           it
           is

           a
           conjugation

           again
           with

           he

           he

           he
           possesses

           but
           Death

           from
           uncertain

           to
           certain
           expectations

           from

           to
           rise
           to
           life
           as
           he
           did
           ;
           for
           his
           Resurrection
           is
           the
           beginning

           He
           died
           for
           us
           alone

           but
           he
           rose
           again
           for
           himself
           and
           us

           .
           So
           that
           if
           he

           that
           is

           next
           to
           Christ
           ;
           and
           after
           them
           the
           wicked
           shall

           the

             words
             by
             proper
             interpretation

             for
             if
             Men
             shall
             die
             like
             Dogs
             
             and
             sheep
             ,
          
           they
           will
           certainly
           live
           like
           Wolves
           and
           Foxes
           :
           but
           he
           that
           believes
           the
           Article
           of
           the
           Resurrection
           ,
           hath
           entertained
           the
           greatest
           Demonstration
           in
           the
           world
           ,
           That
           nothing
           can
           make
           us
           happy
           but
           the
           Knowledge
           of
           God
           ,

           Conformity
           to
           the
           life
           and
           death
           of
           the
           holy
           Jesus
           .
           Here
           therefore
           are
           the
           great
           Hinges
           of
           all
           Religion
           :
           1.
           
           Christ
           is
           already
           risen
           from
           the
           dead
           .
           2.
           
           We
           also
           shall
           rise
           in
           Gods
           time
           and
           our
           order
           .
           Christ
           is
           the
           first
           fruits
           .
           But
           there
           shall
           be
           a
           full
           harvest
           of
           the
           Resurrection
           ,
           and
           all
           shall
           rise
           .
           My
           Text
           speaks
           onely
           of
           the
           Resurrection
           of
           the
           just
           ,
           of
           them
           that
           belong
           to
           Christ
           ;
           explicitely
           I
           say
           of
           these
           ;
           and
           therefore
           directly
           of
           Resurrection
           to
           life
           eternal
           .
           But
           because
           he
           also
           sayes
           there
           shall
           be
           an
           order
           for
           every
           man
           ;
           and
           yet
           every
           man
           does
           not
           belong
           to
           Christ
           ;
           therefore
           indirectly
           also
           he
           implies
           the
           more
           universal
           Resurrection
           unto
           judgment
           .
           But
           this
           shall
           be
           the
           last
           thing
           that
           shall
           be
           done
           ;
           for
           ,
           according
           to
           the
           Proverb
           of
           the
           Jews
           ,
           Michael
           flies
           but
           with
           one
           wing
           ,
           and
           Gabriel
           with
           two
           ;
           God
           is
           quick
           in
           sending
           Angels
           of
           peace
           ,
           and
           they
           flye
           apace
           ;
           but
           the
           messengers
           of
           wrath
           come
           slowly
           :
           God
           is
           more
           hasty
           to
           glorifie
           his
           servants
           then
           to
           condemn
           the
           wicked
           .
           
             And
             
             therefore
             in
             the
             story
             of
          
           Dives
           and
           Lazarus
           
             we
             find
             that
             the
             beggar
             died
             first
             ;
             the
             good
             man
             Lazarus
          
           was
           first
           taken
           away
           from
           his
           misery
           to
           his
           comfort
           ,
           and
           afterwards
           the
           rich
           man
           died
           :
           and
           as
           the
           good
           
             many
             times
             die
             first
             ,
             so
             all
             of
             them
             rise
             first
             ,
             as
             if
             it
             were
             a
             matter
          
           of
           haste
           :
           And
           as
           the
           mothers
           breasts
           swell
           and
           shoot
           and
           long
           to
           give
           food
           to
           her
           babe
           ;
           so
           Gods
           
             bowels
             did
             yearn
             over
             his
             banish'd
             children
             ,
             and
             he
             longs
             to
             cause
             them
          
           to
           eat
           and
           drink
           in
           his
           Kingdom
           .
           And
           at
           last
           the
           wicked
           shall
           rise
           unto
           condemnation
           ,
           for
           that
           must
           be
           done
           too
           ;
           every
           man
           in
           his
           own
           order
           :
           
             first
             Christ
             ,
             then
             Christs
             servants
             ,
             and
             at
             last
             Christs
             enemies
             .
             The
             first
             of
             these
             is
             the
             great
             ground
             of
             our
             faith
             ,
          
           the
           second
           is
           the
           consummation
           of
           all
           our
           hopes
           :
           the
           first
           is
           the
           foundation
           of
           God
           that
           stands
           sure
           ,
           the
           second
           is
           that
           superstructure
           that
           shall
           never
           perish
           :
           by
           the
           first
           we
           believe
           in
           God
           unto
           righteousness
           ,
           by
           the
           second
           we
           live
           in
           God
           unto
           salvation
           :
           But
           the
           third
           ,
           for
           that
           also
           is
           true
           &
           must
           be
           consider'd
           ,
           is
           the
           great
           affrightment
           of
           all
           them
           that

           Christs
           Resurrection

           Death
           was
           Sins
           eldest
           daughter

           and
           the

           but
           Christ
           was
           conquerour
           over
           both

           take
           that
           away

           and
           to
           disarm
           this

           This
           was
           a
           glory

           it
           was
           too
           great
           and
           too
           good

           incredulous
           and
           weak-hearted
           Man.
           It

           at

           They
           doubted
           very
           much

           that
           by
           their
           confirmation
           we
           might

           established

             Mary
             Magdalene
          
           saw
           him

           and
           she

           with
           joy
           and
           
             said
             she
             had
             seen
             the
             Lord

             but
             they
             believed
             her
             not
             .
             After
             that
             divers
             women
             together
             saw

           they
           told
           it

           but
           had
           no

           no

             The
             two

           they
           ran
           and
           told
           it

             him
          
           infallible
           ,
           and
           so
           they
           believ'd
           him
           not
           at
           all
           .
           Five
           times
           in
           one
           day
           he
           appear'd
           ;
           for
           after
           
           all
           this
           he
           appear'd
           to
           the
           Eleven
           ;
           they
           were
           indeed
           transported
           with
           joy
           and
           wonder
           ,
           but
           they
           would
           scarce
           believe
           their
           own
           eyes
           ,
           and
           though
           they
           saw
           him
           they
           doubted
           .
           Well
           ,
           all
           this
           was
           not
           enough
           ;
           he
           was
           seen
           also
           of
           Iames
           ,
           and
           suffered
           Thomas
           to
           thrust
           his
           hand
           into
           his
           side
           ,
           and
           appeared
           to
           S.
           Paul
           ,
           and
           was
           seen
           by
           
             five
             hundred
             brethren
             at
             once
          
           .
           So
           that
           there
           is
           no
           capacity
           of
           mankind
           ,
           no
           time
           ,
           no
           place
           ,
           but
           had
           an
           ocular
           demonstration
           of
           his
           Resurrection
           .
           He
           appeared
           to
           Men
           and
           Women
           ,
           to
           the
           Clergy
           and
           the
           Laity
           ,
           
             to
             sinners
             of
             both
             sexes
             ;
             to
             weak
             men
             and
             to
             criminals
             ,
             to
             doubters
             and
             deniers
             ,
             at
             home
             and
             abroad
             ,
             in

             and
             in
             private
             ,
          
           in
           their
           houses
           and
           their
           journeys
           ,
           unexpected
           and
           by
           appointment
           ,
           betimes
           in
           the
           morning
           and
           late
           at
           night
           ,
           to
           them
           in
           conjunction
           and
           to
           them
           in
           dispersion
           ,
           when
           they
           did
           look
           for
           him
           and
           when
           they
           did
           not
           ;
           he
           
             appeared
             upon
             earth
             to
             many
             ,
             and
             to

             from
             heaven
             .
             So
             that
             we
             can
             require
             no
             greater
             testimony
             then
             all
             these
          
           are
           able
           to
           give
           us
           ,
           and
           they
           saw
           for
           themselves
           and
           for
           us
           too
           ,
           
             that
             the
             Faith
             and
             certainty
             of
             the
             Resurrection
             of
             Iesus
          
           might
           be
           conveyed
           to
           all
           that
           shall
           die
           and
           follow
           Christ
           in
           their
           own
           order
           .
        
         
           Now
           this
           being

           that
           our

           So
           that
           we

           be

           a
           Man

           first
           thing
           we
           see
           is
           an
           argument
           of
           our
           Resurrection
           from

           And
           when
           we
           consider
           what
           the
           Greek
           Church
           reports

           the

           those
           that
           die
           Excommunicate

           Censure
           be
           taken
           off
           ;
           we
           may
           with
           a
           little
           faith

           reason
           believe
           ,
           that
           the
           same
           power
           that
           keeps
           them
           from
           their
           natural
           Dissolution
           ,
           can
           recall
           them
           to
           life
           and

           not
           now

           Argument

           is
           like

           wears
           a

           For

           it
           was
           with
           Christ
           the

           He

           He
           first
           obeyed
           the
           will
           of
           God
           ,
           and
           patiently
           suffered
           the
           will

           he
           died

           one
           thing
           more
           in
           it
           yet
           ,
           
             Every
             Man
             in
             his
             own
             order
             .
          
           First
           Christ
           ,
           and
           then
           Christ's
           .
           But
           what
           shall
           become
           of
           them
           that
           are
           not
           Christ's
           ?
           why
           there
           is
           an
           order
           for
           them
           too
           .
           First
           ,
           they
           that
           are
           Christ's
           ;
           and
           then
           they
           that
           are
           not
           his
           .
           *
           
             Blessed
             and
             holy
             is
             he
             that
             hath
             his
             part
             in
             the
             first
             resurrection
             .
          
           There
           is
           a
           first
           and
           a
           second
           Resurrection
           even
           after
           this
           life
           .
           
             The
             dead
             in
             Christ
             shall
             rise
             first
             .
          
           Now
           blessed
           are
           they
           that
           
           have
           their
           portion
           here

             for
             upon
             these
             the
             second
             death

             have
             no

             .
          
           As
           for
           the
           recalling
           
           the
           wicked
           from
           their
           graves
           ,
           it
           is
           no
           otherwise
           in
           the
           sense
           of
           the
           Spirit
           to
           be
           called
           a
           Resurrection
           ,
           then
           taking
           a
           Criminal
           from
           the
           Prison
           to
           the
           Bar
           is
           a
           giving
           of
           liberty
           .
           When
           poor
           
             Attilius
             Aviola
          
           had
           been
           seized
           on
           by
           an
           Apoplexy
           ,
           his
           friends
           supposing
           him
           dead
           carried
           him
           to
           his
           Funeral
           pile
           ;
           but
           when
           the
           fire
           began
           to
           approch
           ,
           and
           the
           heat
           to
           warm
           the
           body
           ,
           he
           reviv'd
           ,
           and
           seeing
           himself
           incircled
           with
           Funeral
           flames
           ,
           call'd
           out
           aloud
           to
           his
           friends
           to
           rescue
           ,
           not
           the
           dead
           ,
           but
           
             the
             living
          
           Aviola
           
             from
             that
             horrid
             burning
             .
             But
             it
             could
             not
             be
             .
             He
             onely
             was
             restor'd
             from
             his
             sickness
             to
             fall
             into
             death
             ,
             and
             from
             his
             dull
             disease
             to
             a
             sharp
             and
             intolerable
             torment
             .
          
           Just
           so
           shall
           the
           wicked
           live
           again
           ;
           they
           shall
           receive
           their
           souls
           ,
           that
           they
           may
           be
           a
           portion
           for
           Devils
           ;
           they
           shall
           receive
           their
           bodies
           ,
           that
           they
           may
           feel
           the
           everlasting
           burning
           ;
           they
           shall
           see
           Christ
           ,
           that
           they
           may
           
             look
             on
             him
             whom
             they
             have
             pierced
          
           ;
           and
           they
           shall
           hear
           the
           voice
           of
           God
           passing
           upon
           them
           the
           intolerable
           sentence
           ;
           they
           shall
           come
           from
           their
           graves
           ,
           that
           they
           may
           go
           into
           hell
           ;
           and
           live
           again
           ,
           that
           they
           may
           die
           for
           ever
           .
           So
           have
           we
           seen
           a
           poor
           condemned
           Criminal
           ,
           the
           
           weight
           of
           whose
           sorrows
           sitting
           heavily
           upon
           his
           soul
           hath
           benummed
           him
           into
           a
           deep
           sleep
           ,
           till
           he
           hath
           forgotten
           his
           grones
           ,
           and
           laid
           aside
           his
           deep
           sighings
           ;
           but
           on
           a
           sudden
           comes
           the
           messenger
           of
           death
           ,
           and
           unbinds
           the
           Poppy
           garland
           ,
           scatters
           the
           heavy
           cloud
           that
           incircled
           his
           miserable
           head
           ,
           and
           makes
           him
           return
           to
           acts
           of
           life
           ,
           that
           he
           may
           quickly
           descend
           into
           death
           and
           be
           no
           more
           .
           So
           is
           every
           sinner
           that
           lies
           down
           in
           shame
           ,
           and
           makes
           his
           grave
           with
           the
           wicked
           ;
           he
           shall
           indeed
           rise
           again
           ,
           and
           be
           called
           upon
           by
           the
           voice
           of
           the
           Archangel
           ,
           but
           then
           he
           shall
           descend
           into
           sorrows
           greater
           then
           the
           reason
           and
           the
           patience
           of
           a
           man
           ,
           weeping
           and
           shrieking
           louder
           then
           the
           grones
           of
           the
           miserable
           children
           in
           the
           Valley
           of
           Hinnon
           .
        
         
           These
           indeed
           are
           sad
           stories
           ,
           but
           true
           as
           the
           voice
           of
           God
           and
           the
           Sermons
           of
           the
           holy
           Jesus
           .
           They
           are
           Gods
           words
           and
           Gods
           decrees
           ;
           and
           I
           wish
           that
           all
           who
           profess
           the
           belief
           of
           these
           ,
           would
           consider
           sadly
           what
           they
           mean.
           If
           ye
           believe
           the
           Article
           of
           the
           Resurrection
           ,
           then
           you
           know
           that
           in
           your
           body
           you
           shall
           receive
           what
           you
           did
           in
           the
           body
           ,
           whether
           it
           be
           good
           or
           bad
           .
           It
           matters

           They

           of
           a
           Resurrection
           to

           what
           this

           infer
           is
           very
           obvious

           For

           it

           a
           Resurrection
           from
           one
           death

           let
           us
           not
           be
           dead

           trespasses
           and
           
           sins

           for
           a
           Resurrection
           from
           two
           deaths

           so
           forfeited
           all
           your
           title

           betake
           your selves
           to
           an
           early
           and
           an
           entire
           piety
           ,
           that
           when
           by
           this
           first
           Resurrection
           you
           have
           made
           this
           way
           plain
           before
           your
           face

           you
           may
           with
           confidence
           expect
           a
           happy
           Resurrection
           from
           your
           graves
           .
           For
           if
           it
           be
           possible
           that
           the
           spirit
           ,
           when
           it
           is
           dead
           in
           sin
           ,
           can
           arise
           to
           a
           life
           of
           righteousness
           ;
           much
           more
           it
           is
           easie
           to
           suppose
           that
           the
           body
           after
           death
           is
           capable
           of
           being
           restor'd
           again
           .
           And
           this
           is
           a
           consequent
           of
           S.
           Pauls
           argument
           ,
           
           
             If
             when
             ye
             were
             enemies
             ye
             were
             reconciled
             by
             his
             death
             ,
             much
             more
             being
             reconciled
             we
             shall
             be
             saved
             by
             his
             life
          
           ;
           plainly
           declaring
           that
           it
           is
           a
           harder
           and
           more
           wonderful
           thing
           for
           a
           wicked
           man
           to
           become
           the
           friend
           of
           God
           ,
           then
           for
           one
           that
           is
           so
           ,
           to
           be
           carried
           up
           to
           heaven
           and
           partake
           of
           his
           glory
           .
           The
           first
           Resurrection
           is
           certainly
           the
           greater
           miracle
           :
           But
           he
           that
           hath
           risen
           once
           ,
           may
           rise
           again
           ;
           and
           this
           is
           as
           sure
           as
           that
           he
           that
           dies
           once
           ,
           may
           die
           again
           ,
           and
           die
           for
           ever
           .
           But
           he
           who
           partakes
           of
           the
           death
           of
           Christ
           by
           Mortification
           ,
           and
           of
           his
           Resurrection
           by
           holiness
           of
           life
           and
           a
           holy
           Faith
           ,
           shall
           ,
           according
           
           to
           the
           expression
           of
           the
           Prophet
           
             Isaiah
             ,
             Enter
             into
             his
             chamber
             of
             death
          
           ;
           when
           Nature
           
           and
           Gods
           decree
           
             shall
             shut
             the
             doors
             upon
             him
             ,
             and
             there
             he
             shall
             be
             hidden
             for
             a
             little
             moment
             :
          
           But
           then
           shall
           they
           that
           dwell
           in
           dust
           awake
           and
           sing
           ,
           with
           Christs
           dead
           body
           shall
           they
           arise
           :
           all
           shall
           rise
           ,
           but
           
             every
             man
             in

           new
           and
           a
           sadder
           subject

           consider

           It
           is
           glorious
           and
           brave
           when
           a
           Christian
           contemplates
           those
           glories
           which
           stand
           at
           the

           but
           when
           we
           consider
           ,
           that
           before

           lie
           down
           in
           dust

           it
           is
           wholsom

           but
           it
           will
           allay
           all
           our
           pleasures

           it

           the

           Sermon
           of
           their
           Commemoration
           .
           For
           since
           good
           men
           ,
           while
           they
           are
           alive
           ,
           have
           their
           conversation
           in
           Heaven
           ;
           when
           they
           are
           in
           Heaven
           't
           is
           also
           fit
           that
           they
           should
           in
           their
           good
           names
           live
           upon
           Earth
           .
           And
           as
           their
           great
           Examples
           are
           an
           excellent
           Sermon
           to
           the
           living
           ,
           and
           the
           praising
           them
           
           when
           Envy
           and
           Flattery
           can
           have
           no
           Interest
           to
           interpose
           ,
           as
           it
           is
           the
           best
           and
           most
           vigorous
           Sermon
           and
           Incentive
           to
           great
           things
           ;
           so
           to
           conceal
           what
           good
           God
           hath
           wrought
           by
           them
           ,
           is
           great
           unthankfulness
           to
           God
           and
           to
           good
           men
           .
        
         
           When
           Dorcas
           died
           the
           Apostle
           came
           to
           see
           the
           dead
           Corps
           ,
           and
           the
           friends
           of
           the
           deceased
           expressed
           their
           grief
           and
           their
           love
           by
           shewing
           the
           Coats
           that
           she
           ,
           whilest
           she
           lived
           ,
           wrought
           with
           her
           own
           hands
           .
           She
           was
           a
           good
           Needle-woman
           and
           a
           good
           Huswife
           ,
           and
           did
           good
           to
           Mankind
           in
           her
           little
           way
           ,
           and
           that
           it self
           ought
           not
           to
           be
           forgotten
           ,
           and
           the
           Apostle
           himself
           was
           not
           displeased
           with
           their
           little
           Sermons
           ,
           and

           the
           women
           made
           upon
           that
           sad
           interview
           .
           But
           if
           we
           may
           have
           the
           same
           liberty
           to
           record
           the
           worthy
           things
           of
           this
           our
           most
           venerable
           Father
           and
           Brother
           ,
           and
           if
           there
           remains
           no
           more
           of
           that
           Envy
           which
           usually
           obscures
           the
           splendour
           of
           living
           Hero's
           ,
           if
           you
           can
           with
           your
           charitable
           though
           weeping
           eyes
           behold
           the
           great
           gifts
           of
           God
           with
           which
           he
           adorned
           this
           great
           Prelate
           ,
           and
           not
           object
           the
           failings
           of
           Humanity
           to
           the

           of
           the
           Graces
           of
           the

           ,
           or
           think
           that
           Gods
           gifts
           are
           the

           and
           deplore
           our
           sad
           loss
           by
           telling
           a
           true
           and
           sad
           story
           of
           this
           great
           man
           ,
           whom
           God
           hath
           lately
           taken
           from
           our
           eyes
           .
        
         
           He
           was
           bred
           in
           Cambridge
           in
           Sidney-college

           a
           grave

           a
           worthy
           man
           ,
           and
           he
           shewed
           himself
           not
           onely
           a
           fruitful
           Plant
           by
           his
           great
           progress
           in
           his
           Studies
           ,
           but
           made
           him
           another
           return
           of
           gratitude
           ,
           taking
           care

           provide
           a
           good
           Imployment
           for
           him
           in
           Ireland
           ,
           where
           he
           then
           began
           to
           be
           greatly
           interested
           .
           It
           was
           spoken
           as
           an
           honour
           to

           the

           Dyonisius
           told
           the
           Priest

           when
           himself

           Cloak
           from
           Apollo

           I
           will

           of
           Ezekiel
           concerning
           that
           portion

           God

           I
           shall
           say

           that
           it
           is
           confessedly
           a
           Prophecy
           of
           the
           Gospel
           ;
           
           but
           this
           I
           adde
           ,
           that
           they
           had
           as
           little
           to
           do
           ,
           and
           much
           less
           than
           a
           Christian
           Priest

           courses
           the
           poorest
           Priest
           amongst
           them
           might
           be
           esteemed
           a
           Rich
           man.
           I
           speak
           not
           this
           to

           to
           represent
           upon
           what
           great
           and
           Religious
           grounds
           the
           then
           Bishop
           of
           Derry
           did
           with
           so
           much
           care

           assiduous
           labour

           to
           restore
           the
           Church
           of
           Ireland
           to
           that
           splendor
           and
           fulness
           ;
           which
           as
           it
           is
           much
           conducing
           to
           the
           honour
           of
           God
           and
           of
           Religion
           ,
           God
           himself
           being
           the
           Judge
           ,
           so
           it
           is
           much
           more
           necessary
           for
           you
           than

           and
           so
           this
           wise
           Prelate
           rarely
           well
           understood

           some
           of

           which
           was
           a
           device

           the

           call'd
           Retiaries

           their
           daggers

           they
           threw
           nets

           and
           cover'd
           him
           with
           a

           mischief

           But
           the
           Martyr
           King
           Charles

           Eternal
           Memory

           seeing
           so
           great
           a
           Champion
           likely
           to
           be
           oppress'd
           with
           numbers
           and
           despair

           sent
           what
           rescue
           he
           could
           ,
           his
           Royal
           Letter
           for
           his
           Bail
           ,
           which
           was
           hardly
           granted
           to
           him
           ,
           and
           when
           it
           was
           ,
           it
           was
           upon
           such
           hard
           terms
           ,
           that
           his
           very
           delivery
           was
           a
           persecution
           .
           So
           necessary
           it
           was
           for
           them
           ,
           who
           intended
           to
           do
           mischief
           to
           the
           publick
           ,
           
           to
           take
           away
           the
           strongest
           pillars
           of
           the
           house
           .
           This
           thing
           I
           remark
           to
           acquit
           this
           great
           man
           from
           the
           tongue
           of
           slander
           ,
           which
           had
           so
           boldly
           spoken
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           certain
           something
           would
           stick
           ,
           yet
           was
           so
           impotent
           and
           unarm'd
           ,
           that
           it
           could
           not
           kill
           that
           great
           same
           which
           his
           greater
           worthiness
           had
           procur'd
           him
           .
           It
           was
           said
           of
           Hippasus
           the
           Pythagorean
           ,
           that
           being
           ask'd
           how
           and
           what
           he
           had
           done
           :
           He
           answer'd
           ,
           
             Nondum
             nihil
             ,
             neque
             enim

           I
           have
           done
           nothing

           He
           that
           does
           great
           things
           ,
           cannot
           avoid

           and
           teeth
           of
           Envy

           more
           of
           their

           they
           did

           the

           the

           agreed

           so
           wisely

           How
           true
           the
           story
           is
           I
           know

           extraordinary
           contingency

           was
           greatly
