TO THE RIGHT Honourable, Noble, and no less virtuous Lady MARY STEVART countess of Mar.  
madam,  
STRAYING I know not by what chance, in the most pleasant and delectable of all gardens( whose continual spring and sweet smelling flowers, neither the extremity of Summer, nor cold of Winter, can any whit annoy: the sweet flowers and simples whereof,( remaining still the same) comfort all comers, applyers, gatherers, distilling virtue to all, yet losing nothing of their former admirable excellency; still giuing, yet rich as before: often pulled, yet nothing missing) I happened here and there on diverse sorts, whose several exceeding sweetness, forced me to bind them together. So that the more I gathered, the greater my desire was: until at last, having gathered& bound together this pleasant Nosegay( the surpassing sweetness whereof ouer-cloying me) I was glad to get me gone, not staying for any more. Which I offer unto your Ladyship: not that it can any way balance your ladyships vndeserued courtesies, long since bestowed: but onely as a poor token of my love, and hatred to all-abhorred ingratitude, Wishing that it may always smell sweet unto your Ladyshippe, chiefly again and again, redoubling the superabundant vigour and efficacy therof by the secret working and instigation of your Iesus immortal Spirit, in the hour of dissolution: that thereby resting most assured whom you haue served, you may joyfully leave this poor pilgrimage and vail of misery, for that eternal, new, glorious, celestial jerusalem, the felicity whereof, cannot be known, until possessed.  
Your ladyships, in all humble duty long since bound, I. H.   

To the Reader.  
BEcause, gentle Reader the confirmation of things invisible, whereupon the eternity of life or death dependeth, can never bee too recent in memory; things surpassing reason being so subject to oblivion. And that the soul of itself is so insatiable, never vpon earth having found any such contentment, but it still aspyred to some-what higher and more excellent; yea, even then when it hath that, which it so earnestly but now desired, in full possession, becometh weary of that: with Alexander when it hath all which earth can afford, wishing for more worlds. Thus far the Heathen. But the soul, that is troubled with the greatness of sin; that goeth crookedly, whose eyes fail( as Baruch speaketh) findeth this to be most true, when in the midst of all temptations, tribulations, crosses, and all other calamities whatsoever incident in this life, or raised by the Prince of darkness; it onely hath recourse to things surpassing reason: there it stayeth: there it hopeth: there it believeth: and there onely it findeth rest; but chiefly, in the free promises of the inuisible-visible God of all glory. This confirming promise, reposing vpon things invisible, to the Christian soul is a salve against all sores▪ no earthly thing can content it, until it rest vpon this promise, opposing it as a buckler against all miseries whatso ever. This doth the Prophet david, the true pattern of Christianity, in his book of psalms notably express: but chiefly in that hundred and nineteenth; where he at length declareth, that all his confidence did onely rely vpon the promise: Sometimes, in these words, Remember the promise made unto thy servat, wherein thou hast caused me to trust. It is my comfort in my trouble: for, thy promise hath quickened me. sometimes again, Mine eyes fail for thy promise; saying, when wilt thou comfort me? And a little after, How sweet are thy promises unto my mouth! yea, more then hony unto my mouth. In another place he saith, I haue hide thy promise in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. How often in that psalm doth he challenge the Lord of his promise in general? as it were, forcing the kingdom, in these words( according to thy promise.) And job, speaking of his obedience to the commandements, saith, that he esteemed these words more then his appointed food. All which, show the vnexpressable power, and surpassing sweetness of the promise to a troubled soul, when faith hath once apprehended the truth of the promiser. Many are the examples, tedious to relate, how even parcels of the promises haue exceedingly comforted the children of God. The Scriptures are full of such places, where the height of consolation, is placed onely in the free promises of God in Christ: in whom( as the Apostle speaketh) all the promises of God, are yea and Amen. And because it is not given to every one to search, nor in searching to find, nor in finding to apply, nor applying, to apply aright, without a harmony. Therefore haue I( by the grace of God) as thou seest, gathered together a heap of the chiefest promises: that when the soul in extreme anguish is ready to cry out( at it is in the Prophet Isaiah) who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? and with job, that changes and armies of sorrows are against her; her eye casting out water, because the comforter that should refresh her soul is far from her( as the Prophet in the Lamentation speaketh) the Lord for the time seeming covered with a cloud, and satan for his part having hide all the gracious and sweet promises of mercy, representing nothing unto the sight, meditation, memory, but horror, curses and woe, and the cruel reuenge, of a terrible thundering God, armed in the severity of his iustice, to throw it down into the pit of hell with the devill and his Angels for ever: She may also herein presently behold, that same God, which thundered in Sinai, clothed with flesh, reconciled to us, and his unspeakable wrath appeased in his son, who is the end and fulfilling of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth; Finding also sufficiently therein, if the divell assail thee by Scripture( following in this our saviour Christ) to dash the lie with Scripture in his teeth again. Which I offer unto thy mild censure; not that therein thou shalt find any perfect order or collection of the heads gathered( for who can judge as he should aright, of such a bottomlesse, boundless, neuer-sounded depth?) much less I, the unworthiest of all): But onely as a morsel of some dainty dish, the sweetness whereof may stir up& 'allure thy appetite( if it be not already) to drink at will of the great fountain itself. But chiefly I entreat thee( who hast not onely this, but a great deal more in thy memory, even the whole frame itself, and canst bring it forth hand in hand, in well ordered squadrons and battle array, as time& opportunity fitteth; either to confounded the proud, or raise up the humble; to beat down sin, banish temptations, or any other thing that shall oppose itself against this mighty word) to whom the Lord revealeth his secrets; whose lips should& do preserve knowledge, to whom the spirit of prophesying is subject; why( by thy heauen-a-spyring meditations, and then Spirit-assisting power) canst, as it were, Metamorphose the hearts of the hearers, forcing some-times, a bribing Foelix, or profane Agrippa( much more a true Israelite) to tremble and cry out, thou almost persuadest me to be a Christian, to leave my sins, &c.] to look here-vpon with a gentle aspect: and( although thou thyself with thy Eagles wing, soarest above high mountaines) not to disdeigne him, who far off, looketh after thy flight in the low valleys: wishing to follow thee; but that fearing Icarus reward, he durst not presume with waxed wings.  
But to draw nearer the mark( because the promise shall avail nothing, without assurance of the verity of the things promised) thou hast first of all, a view of the perfection of the said word, by the word itself; the most assured testimony that may be. For, unless an internal reverence of this word( procured by it own majesty, and secret operation of the holy Ghost) assure thee of the excellency and verity thereof( causing thee to cast aside all human inventions and reasons; onely believing, and not carping, why, nor wherefore this nor that?) in vain shall all other helps and proofs bee. And therefore the Prophet david, in meditation thereof, had such delight therein; that he confesseth that it was a lantern to his feet, and a light to his paths: that it was most pure; the righteousness thereof everlasting; the beginning and entrance thereunto, truth and understanding. In another place, that it was as silver tried in a furnace of earth sevenfold: being perfect, converting the soul, giuing wisdom unto the simplo, rejoicing the heart, giuing light unto the eyes. And surely it is no mean assurance unto us of the undoubted verity therof, that albeit it beat down our damnable lusts& affections( being so contrary in all things to our vile& corrupt nature) yet notwithstanding, we reverence& embrace it, as undoubted Oracles: because a certain venerable maiest● shining therein, doth with such attractive power, hale and draw the heart& affections unto it, beyond all other writs kindling therein ioy unspeakable, assuring, that such strange effects as it worketh, could not proceed, but from the spirit of God. Therefore it is our part in all calamities and miseries to rest vpon this word; since the inspirer& author thereof is eternal, and the beginning and antiquity therof before al writs: and the rather if we shall a little nearer consider that well-ordred harmony of the two Testaments; how in the Old, the Law& Prophets do all point at the messiah to come; all their types figures, offerings& sacrifices, being to end with his coming; all their then perfection, consisting in his perfect oblation, sacrifice,& free offering to come: again, how in the New, the messiah being come, requiteth their hopes, fulfilleth all their prophecies. pointeth back again at thē as need required, citing the law& Prophets for confirmation of his doctrine; establishing the law moral, taking away the curse thereof, abrogating what was needful of the ceremonial; Lastly, to make all sure, giuing, as behoved, his life for his sheep; crying vpon the cross that all was finished; and returning, whence( as a Father speaketh) he as God never was absent. This word he himself commanded us to search; therein to find eternal life, Moses calleth it our life; and the Apostle Paul, the power of God unto salvation; in another place telling, that it is able to make the man of God absolute and wise unto salvation. What should I say of it? It is all in him, who is all in all.  
But here, the monster of men, the all-abhorred Atheist( either that he may with the more liberty cloak his knavery, or that he will not beleeue but what by reason is demonstrated) of set purpose opposing himself against all that is of God, standeth up with open mouth, denying all at the first push, making a iest of this most holy word, and all the Miracles therein; dreaming of( I know not what) absurdities. The Creation he cannot abide, because it must presently led him to the Creator. But, if there be any so impudently wicked in this our miserable Age, let us grant it for a while,( which yet were abominable blasphemy to maintain) that the heauens and all the inuironing regions of the air were from everlasting,( showing notwithstanding the contrary, by their continual motions leading us to the first vnmooued mover): yet would I onely know of them, from whence this little world, Man, did spring, if he had no creation? setting aside all other unreasonable creatures; one man leadeth us to another, until by degrees wee come back to the first: and here I ask where he had his beginning? for from eternity he was not: which, his miserable and perishing nature, so subject to changings, well sheweth: but chiefly his dissolution; eternity and change, like light and darkness being so directly contrary. It were most absurd to think, that the woman and he did spring like a leaf, an herb, or a stalk of corn out of the earth: for then why might not the earth still haue produced such fruit? what needed then this change in begetting one of another? Neither dare he( for his excuse) confess a fall, whereof alteration, misery and change might haue ensued, and so the course of nature bee changed: unless he bee also forced to confess One, from whom they had fallen. Then must we of necessity, find for Man a Creator( since he had a beginning, and a time wherein he was not) who( as the Spirit of God by Moses affirmeth, and all the Christian world ever since bebeleeued, yea and Heathen also) onely was God. Now, that omnipotent Power, who( with such wonder) of a piece of earth, to his own holy image created him, was even as able to create all other things before him, for him. But since wee are none of these miscreants, let us leave these men( whatsoever in their disputations, life, or sayings they maintain) with Caligula to hid themselves at a crack of thunder; resting assuredly vpon these scriptures: assuring ourselves, that the vnserchable Depth Soule-quieting power, great Antiquity, majesty, unity, perfect Harmony, Sweet Simplicity, admirable Excellency, rich poverty, grave modesty, most holy beauty, and heart-inflaming fervency of them, are sufficient proofs against all Principalities and Powers opposite, of their absolute perfection.  
here I would willingly haue passed to the next; but that the mystery of iniquity, the purple whore, the mother of abominations, the triple-crowned man of sin( who under colour of the seruant of the seruants of God, exalteth himself as King of Kings and Lord of Lords) came in with his worm-eaten and dung-hill Traditions; which he maketh equal unto this word, in all places where his word may pass for a law, or where men will beleeue that black is white, if he will haue it so; wresting these Scriptures, to whatsoever crooked sense he and his Parasites pleaseth; like unto a piece of wax making it receive any impression; sealing it up in an unknown tongue from the vulgar, forbidding it unto them on pain of damnation( as though they had no souls to save) not without great policy of the divell their grand captain; that the poor souls( being ignorant of this heavenly food, and onely Truth) might the better receive, as Oracles, whatsoever lies should thence-forth proceed from their blasphemous mouths: contrary to the express command of our saviour Christ; who commandeth us to search the Scriptures, Neither is it lawful to say, that our saviour spake onely to the learned rabbis, but also to the poor people, to all, making no exception of persons; unless also they dare affirm, that he came onely for the redemption and salvation of such. Who, but mad-men, durst impute imperfection to this word? since the Apostle to timothy, commendeth, it to be able to make the man of God absolute and perfect unto all good works. Yet no marvel he and his Baalamites dare not abide the open touch of this word, closing it up in a strange tongue, in this, showing themselves truly to be false coin: not daring to abide the clear shining of that light, whose brightness freed from the clouds of darkness,( where by their falsehood it was long detained) hath so shamed this age past, and yet doth their kingdom of darkness. No marvel I say, for in it they hear no rules given for the subversion of states, stirring up of rebellions, killing and poisoning of Princes: discharging of subiects from their lawful obedience to their Princes and Gouernours: massacring of thousands, men, women, and children, to appease their neuer-appeased fury: no foundation of their wicked carnales Cardinales, abominable and idolatrous mass, their world of profane ceremonies: and lastly( for what yeares could reckon all?) of the sanctity of Sathans last thunder-bolts, the Locusts of the bottomless pit; sent post from beelzeebub, for the underpropping of his now-falling kingdom.  
I mean the jebusites, 
Non cum Iesuitis, si qui itis cum Iesuitis.  A Iesuitis:( Iesuites I should haue said) who being a vermin but now( to speak truly in respect of antiquity) creept up: the more to deceive the world took unto them the name of Iesus, that like wolves in this lambs skin, they might the better devour the flocks: since which time they haue so multiplied Proteus-like transforming themselves into innumerable shapes: that like the frogs and grasshoppers of Egypt, they are a plague unto all kingdoms where they remain: not onely to the ground,( the best whereof by their good-will they join to their colleges) but also to souls and bodies, with the breath of their venomous doctrine, which they every where sow, under coullour of feigned holinesse and long prayers,( as our saviour speaketh of their brethren the Scribes and Pharisees) devouring all Lords, Knights, Ladies and widows houses, who once give ear to their enchanting siren songs. Like unto their father the divell, if they can but get in one foot, will shortly bring also their body:( there-after ruling the roast, 
Bella sonat, sonat arma, minas sonat: omnia martis.  as the proverb speaketh) But let them and their Bellum arma minans( famous like Erostratus for impiety) the divell, and all, do what they can: this word which already hath made such a breach in Babels falling towers, shall ere long finish that which it hath so happily begun.  
What should I say more of this barbarous, uncomfortable religion? our saviour Christ hath left us a true note to know it, and them in it:( that he that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory.) What I pray you hath the Church of Rome and all the hierarchy thereof been doing these hundreds of yeares past, but seeking their own glory? incurring that fearful woe of the Prophet ezekiel, to those sheapheards which neglect their flocks, feeding themselves with the wool and the fat: killing those who are fed. And in matthew( to know them by their fruits) where he affirmeth, that a good three( as they pretend to bee) cannot bring forth evil fruit. If wee shall examine some of their supererogating fruits( to leave antiquity, and haue recourse to bleeding memory) Bartolomeus flet, 
The numeral letters make the year 1572. the year of the massacre.  quia Gallicus occubat Atlas: leaving also Saint Bartholomews bloody massacre ( quia animus meminisse horret, &c.) we may behold two royal Henries wallowing in their dearest blood:( would God all succeeding Henries would learn to tame, and not trust, such wild beasts) the first killed by a jacobine novice, the seconds tragedy, most cruelly begun by a Iesuite, who strooke him in the teeth( a bloody presage of what ensued) and( who doubteth) finished by their close politic knavery. But I had almost forgotten that horrible( yet silence shall best express it) Powder-treason: who can excuse them in this? since their provincial Garnet, old in wickedness, was chief Confessor to chis damnable action. Whose excuse was, that it was revealed to him, under the sacred seal of confession; therefore not daring to disclose it.  
What monster could he bee, which made such a lawe so directly against the whole book of God? was it not lawful in such a case to reveal? should so much mischief haue been committed that good might haue ensued? thus might Lots daughters incest with their father, and the like bee excused. But his majesty in his apology cleareth this c●ntrouersie, where he proveth that Garnet heard of it walking with another Iesuite, and what manner of feigned confession such a walking one could bee, th●se who are accustomend to crouchings and kneelings to their Confessors at the like times well know. Yet why? It may be all was intended of mere love, because our heretical religion( as they term it) could not haue brought us unto heaven: out of their cha●itable affection, chiefly to his sacred majesty, queen,& royal progeny, Bishops, Nobles, Barons, Iudges, and whole body of state: working a work of supererogation, like unto Eliah, to haue sent them all up for the more celerity, like a whirlwind, in chairs and seats conducted by fire unto the clouds, for the more state, wearing a crown, and in Robes. Belike to show unto God that royal magnificence; doubting least his all-seeing eye, which so long had spared them in the powder-mine, had now become dimne, not able otherways to behold them.  
If th●se bee of the supererogating works of th●ir perfectest, such as they esteem their Iesuites and jesuited ones to be; for which their powder-martyrs and traytors are so extolled, who notwithstanding haue all suffered, for high treason, contempt and breach of the laws, let them all so perish- For it is no great thing( as the Apostle speaketh) since satan himself is transformed into an angel of light: though his ministers transform themselves, as though they were the Ministers of righteousness; neither three nor fruit being good. every three therefore( as our saviour speaketh) that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down and cast into the fire. Cursed be that three, and let never fruit grow vpon it, which barren of good fruit, hath so long deceived the world with a faire show of leaves onely: and let all true hearted subiects for ever beware of such a jewish, heathenish, Turkish, Hypocritish, devilish, kill-King Religion.  
As for the Prophecies of Christ, begun presently after the fall, continued to Abraham: that of Iaakob, Moses, Balaam, and all the Prophets: how fully all were fulfilled is apparently in the evangelists to be seen. Let the wandering, desolate, runnagat, misbelieving jew, say what he will: as the Papists in vain dream of another Antichrist, so in vain do they look for another messiah; their true, having come as it was prophesied, just when the sceptre( according to Iaakobs prophecy) was departed from judah: Herod a stranger, by the romans, having obtained the kingdom, ordaining what high Priests he pleased, the abomination of desolation, prophesied by Daniel, then beginning to work.  
But one of the chief causes of this their error was, that they looked for a temporal glorious King; and not for one so poor in show, found in a cratch, entering jerusalem vpon an ass, not having wherein to hid his head, his kingdom, as they supposed, not being of this world. And if we consider, how his death& their blindness was by the Prophets fore-prophecied, by whom it was to bee act●d, that for our salvation, redemption, and eternal glorification, it must( as it was prophesied) bee finished, even by the inhabitants of jerusalem and the●r rulers; and the curse and utter desolation vpon people and country ever since inflicted: wee shall no ways doubt thereof: For to us their affliction and wandering is a most assured testimony, that the brazen gates of death are broken a sunder: and a sure path-way for ever opened unto the fountain of grace. And because our faith can never be too strong in this our pilgrimage, which is assaulted with so many doubtings: leaving Scripture, if wee will but cast our eyes vpon histories of all sorts, it shall be no little ease: beholding the Prophecies of Sybils, hundreds of yeares before the incarnation of Christ: cited by Augustine out of Lactantîus, so venerable amongst the romans, dcfended by great Constantine: as Eusebius reporteth. How she prophesied briefly of all that happened unto him: of his coming, life, acts, abusings, death, resurrection, second coming. How at that time all Oracles did cease, giuing place to the greater. How Iosephus speaking of him, doubteth if it was lawful to call him a man: saying further,( not that they said he appeared alive unto them the third day, according as the divine Prophets had foretold. How Augustus visiting Apollos Oracle when he grew aged( as Nîcephorus reporteth) could receive no answer but with doubled hecatombs. The Oracle at last answering, that an Hebrew child( ruling over the blessed Gods) commanded him to leave that place, departing to his infernal region. whereupon returning to Rome, he builded an Altar in the capitol, with the inscription of PRIMOGENITO DEI, the Altar of the first begotten Son of God. How Plinie also reporteth of Christs star which the wisemen saw, under the name of a comet: worshipped in Rome by Augustus, for that good which, as he thought, it pretended unto him: the Pagan concluding as Caiphas did, though in another fort▪ that if we will confess the truth, it was a good, happy,& healthful presage unto the whole world. How Appolophanes the Sophist, as it is reported, being with Dionysius at the time of that wonderful darkness and eclipse of the Sun, contrary to the course of nature, in Heliopolis a town of egypt▪ burst forth in these words,( O good Dionysius, these are the alterations of heavenly things) as also that of Dionysius himself, when that great earth-quake and darkness was, at the passion of our blessed saviour,( the unknown God, in fleshly shape suffereth; for whose cause the universal world is darkened& shaken) what should I speak of Tiberius wonderful proposition to the Senate, vpon Pilates letter? even to receive Christ for a God: 
Quia, vetus erat decretum, ne qui Deus ●b Impe●atere consc●raretur, nisi a ●c● atu prob●rc●ur.  who, notwithstanding their denial, gave free passage to the Name of Iesus: as Eusebius and Nicephorus in their ecclesiastical stories relate. It were tedious to search, or reckon up all, which might serve for this purpose, onely let it suffice thee, that since God himself, his holy word, heaven and earth, Angels and men, divels and oracles, the consent of so many hundred yeares, haue all confessed that thy blessed saviour did once come to take away the sins of many( as the Apostle speaketh) as assuredly to look for him the second time: without sin unto salvation:  
Durst I now but adventure to touch his eternal God-head? surely herein silence were best oratory, in so unsearchable a mystery. Yet since the disciples of that ancient-condemned-foe Arrius, by so many general councils, holy Fathers, and grave Bishops: dareth yet now and then, spew out some dregs of their ancient venom, here and there in corners. It shall not be amiss, by his grace and thy patience, as I think, to brandish once again above their heads, that sword, which long since did after a great skirmish, so overthrow, shane, wound, and put them to silence. How copious the Scriptures every where are, to set out, extol, and maintain this eternal God-head, is well known to every indifferent reader: this word, this angel of the New Testament, shining so brightly in the Old. At first Creating, discoursing and appearing to the Fathers, working such wonders and miracles. For what else could do it, but his eternal wisdom counseling, and his mighty word effecting? and when could ever this wisdom and word haue beginning? which of necessity, from all eternity had residence in the bosom of the Father. How in so many places thereof, that name of Lord, of God, which is spoken of the Father: is also sometimes meant, and understood of God the son. david calleth him Lord, the Lord said to my Lord, &c. the Prophet Isaiah, calleth him wonderful, counsellor, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace. And jeremiah, Iehouah our righteousness: then which what more can bee said? The Prophet Micah also giveth him a beginning, but he immediately addeth, that that beginning was from everlasting.  
I omit how often through the Prophets there is mention made, chiefly in that of Isaiah; of Iehouah thy Redeemer, thy saviour, yea sometimes, saviour and Redeemer: which two names, properly and only belong to God the son. For although God the Father, as the fountain of the deity, may after a sort bee said to redeem and save: because of the eternity of his love, first consulting with his eternal wisdom and word, for our redemption and salvation to be clothed with flesh, and after sending of it. Yet was there no action of performance, but in the person of the son: properly therfore no redemption. John saith, that that word was God, and that all things were made by it: and that with-out it, was made nothing that was made.  
Where now( O wretched Arrian!) canst thou find a beginning of the essence of this Iesus? unless thou also derogate from the eternity of the Father. Take away this Iesus eternity, and thou shalt never see the Father. What power could create this admirable All; but eternal? what horrible blasphemy were it in thee, to think that God created God? returning again to paganism, and plurality of Gods. Which thou must needs do, if thou deny either the unity or Eternity of the son with the Father. This Iehouah in the forty fourth of Isaiah saith, that he is the first and the last, and without him there is no God. Yet I hope, he doth not there exclude the God-head of the son▪ who so often in the Appocalips assumeth unto himself to be Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:( for we must always beware that one Scripture confounded not another, so smelling of imperfection and lying.) The like might be said of many more. Know vile wretch, that their unseparable unity can suffer no maner of division: without confusion of the deity. This Iesus saith, That whatsoever the Father doth, that doth he also. And in other places of the said Chapter; That the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them: also, That the son quickeneth whom he will. That all iudgment is committed to the son, that all men should honour the son, as they honour the Father? How cometh it now O Arrian! that Iehouah, which in the forty two of Isaiah saith; That he will not give his glory to another, and is every where so iealious of his honour: is now become a sharer with another, false of his word, if thy opinion should pass for current? doth he not here still gather all the honour and glory unto himself, in honouring his son? Yes verily, for Christ himself saith, unless he be honoured with the same honour, the Father hath no honour: and in honouring him, we also honour the Father. Saving further, that he that seeth him, seeth him that sent him. And to Philip, that he that hath seen him, hath also seen the Father. And a little after, That he was in the Father, and the Father in him: which he confirmeth in that prayer a little before his passion, unto his Father. Where, with Caluin we must remember, that so oft as he in the person of the Mediator speaketh to the Father, under the Name of God, is comprehended also the Godhead which was his.  
Farther the Apostle Paul saith, that being in the form of God, he thought it no robbery to be equal with God. That he is the image of the invisible God, who Created all things, being before all things, all things consisting in him: all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge being hide in him: the fullness of the God-head bodily dwelling in him, calling him further, Prince onely, King of Kings, Lord of Lords. In another place adding, That he created the worlds, upholding all things by his mighty word. And in the revelation, he that saith I am Alpha and Omega, saith also that he was dead,( speaking of his human body) but now is alive for evermore. Wonder thou brain-sick Arrian, or whatsoever thou art, that darest impugn this glorious eternal deity! neither on pain of thy damnation adventure to search the causes of so high a mystery: perhaps thou wilt not beleeue, because thy reason cannot find it out: but I tell thee unless thou subject thy reason to Faith, thy reason shall led thee to hell. Knowest thou not, that wee by our own knowledge are beasts? all the imaginations of our hearts being evil continually: all of us gone out of the way, drinking iniquity like water; our righteousness as filthy clowtes, our iniquities like the wind having taken us away; Our yeares as a thought, our life like the wind, our dayes swifter then a post, of short continuance, vanishing as a shadow, all of us liars: in our best estate altogether vanity, and what more miserable? Our miserable weakness being thus, how darest thou impugn the truth of God? or curiously search out the secrets of so high a mystery? but if thou wilt needs bee curious, begin at his creatures, beholding what the Lord saith unto job, when he made him to confess his misery even in searching of those: let be the unsearchable mystery of the Trinity; Lay thy hand with him then vpon thy mouth, resolving, that though thou hast spoken blasphemy, thou wilt speak so no more: repenting in dust and ashes, and with the Prophet david confessing, that thou art fearfully and wonderfully made, and that his knowledge is too wonderful for thee. Thou indeed alleadgest Scripture, so did the divell to our saviour Christ, all to one end, to diminish his glory. But thou darest not abide to be tried by a harmony, to let Scripture bee expounded by Scripture: but fliest to some odd corners, like unto the Papists, and all other the like heretics, who to save their reputation in show to the world, haue recourse to some pieces of patched Apocrypha, or other places of stented Scripture to their false gloze. But if thou werest not mad, thou mightest hear that same voice which pronounced, the Father is greater then I( meaning as he was man) telling thee also, that the Father and he are one as he was God. If the one be true, shall not the other be as true? where he setteth, as Caluin saith, the Father in the higher degree; insomuch as the glorious perfection of brightness that appeareth in heaven, differeth from that measure of glory, which was seen in him, clothed with flesh. And that it was expedient thus to be, he declareth in another place, where citing Iraeneus, he saith: That the Father which is unmeasurable, is in his son measured: because he hath applied himself to the measure of our capacity, least he should drown our mindes with the vnmeasurablenesse of his glory. To which agreeth that saying of the Apostle to Timothy, that he is that mystery of godliness, God manifested in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of Angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up in glory. But if vain wretch, thou wilt maintain thy opinions against the brightness of so many testimonies; know, that when this Iesus with all his holy Angels shall appear in the clouds, in flaming fire and vengeance to all such as thou art: he shall bring with him a sceptre of iron to crush thee in pieces: when the mountaines at thy entreaty shall not cover thee from his presence. Since in thy life-time, thou wilfully opposed thyself against such a cloud of witnesses, of the word itself, so many learned divines of all ages: who all haue agreed( that ever spake truly). That he is coeternal, coessential, coequal with the Father: of one selfsame everlasting— eternal— substance, continuance, being, state, condition, and degree: in nothing differing, but by way of relation.  
What should I speak of that tempest-calmer, ease of sorrow, nurse of ioy, delight of the soul; heauen-forcing prayer? who did ever yet sound aright, the depth of this bottomless Ocean? who ever yet knew perfectly the windings, turnings, ebbings and flowings, heats and colds, mournings and joys, accompanying it at once, or by turns, as the motions of diuers passions enforceth? all which, as ever by any( Christ excepted) are by the Prophet david at large expressed in the book of psalms. Some-times in his own person, some-times in that of the Church. Sometimes mourning, confessing, requesting, in anguish demanding: exhorting, comforting, and assuredly triumphing. Yea sometimes when he appeareth to be altogether lost, and utterly void of consolation▪ as it were from the pit of despair, and gates of hell, ( so low doth the Lord oft-times bring his own) rising to a full assurance of mercy.  
certainly this Princely Prophet in his book of psalms, sheweth a most perfect pattern of prayer,( remembering still the former exception) and of a Christian praying. For if wee look for Humility, who more humble then he? I am a worm and not a man, a shane of men, and the contempt of the people. If of Patience, who more patient then he? exhorting so to patience. If of Fearing, trusting in the Lord with assured confidence, what heaps of places are there to this purpose? If of praying, what infinite( as it were) well-framed petitions. If of a forsaken Christian, seeming near the brinkes of despair: who nearer then he? If again, of one having, and hoping to overcome all these sorrows: who more gloriously triumphing then he? of all which thy own meditation shall more abundantly satisfy thee; where thou shalt see, how always he hath recourse to the promise: thereby showing, that there can be no well grounded prayer, but on the word applied, nor no assurance therein, but what it hath from the free promise of mercy in Christ. Which promise, being rightly and in due time applied worketh wonders, forcing that kingdom, which of it own accord suffereth violence: arming thee further to assail it, never returning without mercy, or assurance thereof. To bee short, fearing I haue already passed, and shall pass the bounds of an Epistle: so the gravity, height, and abundance of the matter in hand entangled me: the waves of this bottomless Ocean, in which, I know not how unawares I launched: in tossing me too and fro, here and there, that as yet I could not get any sight of land: in consideration whereof, yet a little while I entreat thy patience: calling to thy remembrance onely one instance( which shall serve for all the rest) of that man of God Moses. Who, when the people had grievously transgressed, causing to bee made, and worshipping a golden calf in his absence with God in the mount: after that the Lord had  told him of his, to Moses seeming intention,( for the misconstruing of the second causes, proceedeth certainly of our ignorance in the first) How doth he insinuate the memory of the promise? what strong arguments doth he use to move the Lord to mercy? Sometimes of inconstancy, cruelty, in destro●ing those, whose convoy out of a strange land, he had so graced with wonders and miracles. Of his ensuing reputation and impotency in the mouths of the egyptians. Next of his oath and promise made to Abraham, isaac, and Iaakob: and in them to all true believers. And lastly to make all sure, after the Lord had granted his request, seconding it with a thing impossible, by reason of the Lords eternity of election and love: If he would not, to race him out of the book of life.  
If ever any, did not Moses here force this kingdom? how could he choose but find mercy? Neither did the Lord here change his mind indeed: but of his infinite mercy applying himself to our capacity, speaking after the manner of men:( for how could we haue been able otherways to understand so high mysteries in the language of that heavenly Canaan? as in other places is attributed unto him parts of a body: whom notwithstanding our saviour Christ in the fourth of John, affirmeth to bee a spirit: therefore to be worshipped in Spirit and Truth.( It being a changing onely, of a threatening in mercy: and that in great equity, after so strong a battery,) as is before shewed. Because as divines agree, in every threatening or promise of life or death: there is always some secret condition annexed, either revealed, or understood: vpon the use or abuse whereof, life or death dependeth. As was certainly in this, for if the Lord had been minded then, as at other times to destroy: when thousands, and hundreds of thousands perished in his wrath, nothing could haue stayed their destruction. Which the Lord at first expresseth unto Moses, whom, before he threaten, he inviteth to intercession: in these words, ( Let me alone) implying a contrary, Let me alone and I will, Let me not alone and I will not.  
As though the Lord should haue said, this people indeed hath grievously sinned against me, wherefore according to the severity of my Iustice, I will utterly consume& destroy them: unless some means of reconciliation for appeasing my wrath be used: some intercession by Prayer: applying my gracious promises in Christ, by thee, for them: but if this sweet incense smell once in my nose, I cannot choose but bee merciful. Since then the Lord is so gratiöus, so willing to hear, to grant, how should it stir up every one to seek unto the Lord for mercy, by prayer? since there are so many gracious promises to encourage us: providing diligently for armour, by all means to offer violence unto this kingdom. Some may perhaps object, that it is a hard task: which I willingly grant. Yet I again appeal unto them, whether the ioy after the performance, and the sweet rest and peace of conscience thereby ensuing, bee not a superabundant recompense, for any care, for row, or other vexation they find therein? It is true also, the Lord many times suffereth his children to cry long, without any show of hearing: yet is it as true, that he ever hath crwoned perseverance with a joyful victory. This patient job well knew, when in the midst of all his sorrows, he burst forth in that wonderful speech: Although he kill me, yet will I trust in him, &c. for certainly the Lord by this delay, letteth them know themselves by degrees, whereof by nature they are ignorant: teaching them humility, patience, perseverance, the trial of temptations: assurance of his love, in preserving them amidest so many dangers: assured confidence for ever in the like storms: armeth them with invincible arguments, when the fortress of their faith is assailed by Sathans lies: of the truth of their faith, hope, love, constancy, or the like. And further that being strengthened, they may strengthen their brethren. How this duty is omitted, which should bring with it all other blessings, the impiety of this frozen age well sheweth: iniquity like a stream ouer-flowing the hearts of most, would God not of all. But yet how far they are ignorant of these passions of prayer, and the true moving causes, is lamentable: the most part thinking they are fafe enough, if they do say, Lord help me, in the morning: not caring what they do all the day: but certainly where is no progress, there must needs ensue a back-falling.  
Some also, as I think, by reason they are vnaquainted, with the extremity of the voice in prayer, a parcel of the highest passion: think it strange, yea near a fit of madness. For my part I dare not judge of the mysteries of a troubled soul. Yet why may not the extremity of passionate sorrow, break the bounds of moderation? the vehemency of en-kindling carrying the work of the tongue with it( as one speaketh.) And who can appoint limits, to the unknown mounting transported flight, of the enlightened soul, in her ardent love to her so desired home? why should any then bee ashamed hereof having so much grace? for although wee red of a silent Moses, a muttering Hannah, a chattering Hezekiah: yet hast thou also a roaring david for the grief of his heart.  
To touch all, would fill up a volume, I leave them therefore, touching onely the last two: the first wheereof, to confirm all, letteth thee see the truth of the promiser. The last, assuring thee, that he who effected this great work of Creation and renovation, in respect whereof, all other miracles seem nothing: is still as able to do whatsoever he in his holy word hath promised.  
Yet least these pearls should be devoured of swine, profane hated Esau, presuming to pull, as well as godly loved Iaakob: give me leave to warn thee, the swaggering, swearing, domineering Gentleman, or whatsoever thou art: the dispiser, at least, the flowter of piety and professors thereof, making no conscience of thy ways, losing the bridle to all licentiousness, that thou presume not to apply these promises unto thyself, without repentance. It is not thy profane life, but a broken and a contrite heart, which david saith God will not refuse. Thou that canst not abide to hear of thy more then jewish cruelty, in tearing and renting that blessed body, no part therof remaining free from thy blasphemous mouth: nay which is yet more horrible piercing unto his very soul, of thy open and vaunting sins, of fornication, adultery, and the like: but the gentle admonisher, must receive a mock for his pains.  
dost thou think so long as thou continuest thus, these promises do appertain unto thee? they indeed shall bee unto thee the savour of death unto death, and not of life unto life: if thou presume to apply them unto thee without a true repentance. How near in thy scoffing dost thou incur that fearful woe pronounced by our saviour Christ, against the hypocritical Scribes and Pharisees: shutting the kingdom of heaven before men, neither entering thyself, nor suffering those that would, so far as thy reproaches may hinder? herein galloping on horse-back to the divell, where others use to go on foot, or ride softly: unless the Lord of his infinite mercy stay thee in the way, as he did to persecuting Saul.  
Shall the Prophet Dauids eyes gush out with riuers of water, because profane men in those daies took no care in observing the Law? Shall Phineas being zealous for the glory of GOD, by killing of Zimri and Cozbi, when Israel coupled themselves in fornication with Baalpeor, turn away the wrath of God, which had already destroyed four and twenty thousand of the people; obtaining further, a blessing to him and his seed? And shall it not be lawful now in this crooked age, observing manner, time, and place, to admonish, according to that precept of the Apostle Paul to the Ephesians, to haue no fello●shipp with the unfruitful works of darkness, but even to reprove them rather? I deny not, but the hypocrisy and misbehaviour of some, hath been, and is, a great help to the reproach of all. Yet why should all bee blamed? Christ had twelve, one of them being a divell: should he therefore be a reproach unto the rest?  
And the divell will sow tares amongst the wheat, which will grow up, making a faire show: and who can help it? Yet our saviour willed all so to remain, until the great harvest, that he himself made a separation, gathering the wheat into his barn: least as it is there expressed, the indiscretion of men, should pull the wheat with the tares.  
My love to all wisheth thee to forbear betimes: and then when God shall enlarge thy heart, thou shalt wonder with those converts in the acts, at that which thou now so dispisest, as contemptible in thy eyes, because of thy blindness and surfet of sin, wherein thou livest. And remember, if thou wilt not: that the Lord is a consuming fire, that he will not justify a wicked man, and that if the righteous by imputation, shall scarcely be saved: where shall the ungodly and sinner appear? If thou bee in Christ, having a continuing striving repenting sorrow, all are thine. If not I present thee with a dish of woes, feed where thou list: once more troubling thy patience, with that fearful saying of the author to the Hebrewes; Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which none shall see the Lord.  
I might here bee thought partial, to spare the Ianus-faced pharasaical hypocrite: who professing christianity, yet liveth, as though there were neither heaven nor hell, God nor divell: not caring if the out-side of the platter be clean, how foul the in-side be: a part of the mystery of whose iniquity, I would by the grace of God adventure to show, but that it were presumption after Appelles pencil.  
Yet give me leave, to warn thee also profane hypocrite, that these promises pertain not to thee; because thou art the most detestable wretch that liveth. For if a dissembling Matchauilianist with men, be so hateful to most on earth, what shall he bee that dareth dissemble with God, in the Court of heaven? Thou makest a show unto the world, of new birth, and I know not what sanctity: and yet in secret, how canst thou rejoice in thy sweet darling sins?( I speak not of any poor humbled sinners, daily cast down with the horror of their sins: striving continually, whither as yet they can by no means attain) for,( who can say I haue cleansed my heart) but of such( who haue taken unto themselves a settled habit of hypocrisy, being pleased therewith, living at ease with a seared conscience.) Thou canst perhaps forsake all, so far as mortality may: onely with Naaman wishing the Lord to bee merciful to thee in this, when thou bowest thyself in the house of devilish Rimmon.  
For all this thou( perhaps) prayest often: thou doest well: but I ask thee, what kind of prayer thou canst make without a true confession? what true confession, without unfeigned repentance? and what true repentance, with-out it bee continuat, total, bringing with it an vnappeasable hatred and forsaking, which by degrees it worketh out, studying all means, how to crucify this serpent. The divell by thee gets double advantage, seeing there is no sin where-vnto he more tempteth, then that one professing Christianity should turn hypocrite. Which conquest having once gained, O how he triumphs for by thy hardened heart, which increaseth daily more and more, as thou continuest, he thinketh himself sure of thee, and by thy dissembled life, which how close so ever thou conceal it for a time, peepeth out at last at one corner or other: slander ensueth to others. Perhaps thou thinkest, that when thy moneths of vanity are past, thou wilt amend all, and repent fully: yet remember that thou canst not tie the key of repentance to thy girdle: that there is a time, when though thou wouldst seek it as Esau did the blessing, thou shalt not find it: when the door of repentance shall he shut, all the wise Virgins gone in, after which there shall be no opening to the foolish: when he shall bee covered with a cloud that thy prayer cannot pass through. The Lord loveth truth in the inward affections, the Kings daughter is all glorious within( saith the Psalmist) and the Lord craveth the heart chiefly( saith Salomon) yet behold, thou wilt not bestow vpon him, but a counterfeit outward show: in what estate art thou, judge thyself? What hast thou then to do O hypocrite! to take this covenant in thy mouth, since thou hatedst to be reformed: and hast cast his words behind thee? remember this, if thou forget God; least he tear thee in pieces, and there be none that can deliver thee. Remember if thou yet hope, what is said in the book of job: that the hypocrites hope shall perish, that the hypocrite shall not come before God: that the congregation of the hypocrite shall be desolate, and his rejoicing but for a moment: what fearful woes our saviour Christ also thundereth in the gospel to this purpose. If thou yet leave, repent, forsake, and continue sorrowful, thou knowest the gates are not yet shut: all are open, all these gracious promises are thine, and Christ with them. If no, none of them belongeth unto thee, unless it be the woes.  
But unto thee, who art cast down with the sight of thy innumerable sins, wallowing as it were in the dust, heaven, earth, and hell, seeming to conspire against thee: whom crosses and afflictions, like Iobs messengers, assail to dash thee from the for tresse of thy faith. Whom pinching poverty, a dissembling world, the malice of men, the falsehood, or loss of friends troubleth. Who fighting against thy innumerable sins, art for the most part foiled: crying out with the Church-militant,( I would but cannot). In whose way the scoffs of men, the allurements of the flesh, the temptations of Satan, the ignominy of the cross, the hardness, longnesse, and narrowness of the way: the delaying accomplishment of the promises: the smallness of the flock the heaps of vain delights, the weakness of the soul, the terrors of death, with innumerable doubtings accompanying, standeth up like mountaines betwixt thee and thy Christ; doth this picture of Christ chiefly submit itself; wishing that once therein in thy most need, thou mayst find a word in due time: finding also at last, that all these things come for the best unto thee, although in the mean time thou canst not see how. How by these and many more, the Lord maketh his power perfect in thy weakness: when by one affliction and deliverance he strengtheneth thee more and more, with experience and patience for the next: by degrees showing thyself unto thyself. every fall of thine, Antaeus-like, redoubling thy strenghth, as thy experience best knoweth.( Yet not that any should sin( as the Apostle speaketh) that grace may abound, for sins of presumption hardly come to repentance: let be the working of any such effects.) Onely it pleaseth the Lord, helping thy infirmities and fallings, weening thee daily from the pleasures of this world, that thou mayest set thy heart on a better: comforming thee unto his sufferings more& more, by so rough a way to bring thee to glory: in all these spiritual dissertions furthering thy salvation.  
Let patience therefore sweeten thy whatsoever estate: since it is most expedient that things be so; For if the sun should always shine, wee see how the earth becometh dry and barren, how every one wisheth for rain: whose sweet distilling showers being come, how the hardened, dry, and barren earth becometh fruitful again: returning to her former mediocrity. even so the son of righteousness, shining for a long time, and by his spirit having residence in the heart: over cloying it as it were with ioy, the soul becometh careless in provision for the retaining of so glorious a guest, which it thinketh it hath after a sort in possession: with david in prosperity, saying, it shall never be moved. It presently vpon this presumption, findeth a great alteration: her love hideth himself for a time, seemeth to be gone; Thou hidest thy face said david, and I was troubled. Then beginneth the soul to toil and moil, finding that her ioy, her love is removed, enquiring and searching diligently the causes, pondering all reasons: finding her neglect the cause, shee resolveth to seek him again, with the spouse of the Canticl●s, never to leave seeking until shee find him. Then cometh Dauids roaring, then falleth the showers of tears, such as is reported of Luthers vehemency, moistening this barren ground: then becometh shee sick of love, then useth shee all means for his return, comforting herself with the Prophet david, in this dissertion, with the remembrance of the dayes of old, preparing for his next return better entertainment: importuning it, until at last the clouds do vanish, her love appeareth, shee findeth and feeleth it is so, their friendship is renewed, new promises made: after which there is a great calm.  
Yet again storms ensue, he frowneth, removeth, she becometh restless ( for it is a wonderful mercy that the Lord giveth an incessant restlesn●sse to the soul in these spiritual dissertions, until shee find in some measure her wonted ioy,) having recourse to the former or like means, for her raising again. Continuing thus, falling and rising with Ezekiel in his vision of the Temples abuse, the further she proceedeth, in herself perceiving greater abominations then these past: until at last having foughten the good fight, and the trial of her faith being found more precious then gold: the son himself appear, to finish all cares, with the inco●r●ptible crown of perseverance.  
But thou perhaps wonderest, at the prosperity and ease of the wicked in respect of thy toil and trouble: so did it also some of Gods dearest Saints, as thou knowest: some of them crying out, wherefore doest tho● look vpon the transgressors? &c. Why are all they in wealth that rebelliously transgress? wherefore do the wicked live? and david fretted there at. Yet he telleth thee, that they are set in slippery places: suddenly destroyed, perish●d, and horribly consumed: and job saith that they are kept for the day of destruction, and shall bee brought forth to the day of wrath. If thou remember of this, and that thou canst not haue two heauens, and that thy Christ, as thou servest him in spirit& truth, rewardeth thee also with spiritual graces: and that there must be a moment any temporal suffering, to avoid an eternal: that the fatted Oxen are fed in the best pastures for while, that they may the sooner come to the butchery: when the poor toiling lean ones are kept alive: that thy short sufferings, haue for reward an eternal weight of glory: thou canst not choose I say, but bee most content of thy estate. But, if thy eyes with Elishas man were yet a little opened, that thou mightest behold the sword hanging above his head by a hair, in the midst of all his pleasures: thou wouldest not change estates with him. Thou maiest then comfort thyself, that howsoever thy estate bee, he that watcheth over thee neither slumbereth nor sleepeth: that he hath a time appointed in which he will turn thy shadow of death into the morning( as the Prophet Amos speaketh●) that if thou sow righteousness, thou shalt receive a sure reward: that if thou overcome thou shalt inherit all things: that although he chasten thee very sore,( as david saith) yet he will not deliver thee unto death: that if thou suffer, thy head Christ suffereth with thee: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? that as he hath begun with thee in mercy, so he will also make an end. That although thy portion on earth bee small, yet he is thy inheritance that filleth heaven and earth: though in poverty, yet not overcome of poverty; distressed but not forsaken: that thou art his sheep, and he knoweth thee, and hath promised unto thee eternal life: n●ne being able to pull thee out of his hands: that his salvation is near thee, yea nearer then when thou beleeuedst. That as the Prophet david confesseth, his loving kindness is better then life: that as his Father hath loved him, so hath he loved thee, and as his friend hath given his life for thee. What then fearest thou? how often doth he tell thee, fear not, fear not? imputing it to the imperfection of love. Why maiest thou not rather remember what the Lord said to cain? If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? Things being so, tho 〈…〉 maiest assure thyself, that unto the righteous, in the end light ariseth out of darkness: and unto thee, light shall be the last. As that great Father well noteth of the seventh day, wherein is no mention of sunset, or night: because( saith he) thou O God didst sanctify it to remain for ever. Then trust thou for this eternal Sabbath, whatsoever the divell, doubtings, the world, reason, or any other thing shall suggest in the contrary. Assuring thyself, that the unspeakable ioy which thou some times feelest, after that thou in dulness and hardness of heart, hast presented thyself before the throne of grace: by sudden inspiration, kindled thou knowest not how, coming thou knowest not whence: is even to thee a most assured testimony, that there is a greater light, and more abundance of ioy whence that did spring: which although thou now but feelest and seest in part, when the separating clouds shall vanish away, and the vail be taken from thine eyes, thou shalt enjoy& behold fully. That thou mayst bee assured hereof, strive always for the peace of a waking conscience: for if it be watchful, it will tell thee what is amiss. This onely can give thee perfect consolation, in thy last hour vpon thy bed of sorrow: when other consolations shall fail, singing a sweet requiem unto thy soul: When although thou find not that sense of ioy which thou desirest and hopest. Yet in spite of Satan, it shall assure thee, that there is no condemnation for thee being in Christ, as the Apostle speaketh. That the judge being thy saviour and Mediator, thou shalt receive a mild sentence: that by that same word where-with he hath tied thy obedience unto him, he hath tied his loving promises unto thee: that according as thou to thy power by his grace, hast fulfilled to him: so he to whom all power in heaven and in earth is given will assuredly accomplish unto thee.  
Neither flatter thyself with delay of time, for how knowest thou when this Trumpet shall blow? a Christian must not think of yeares, moneths, weekes,( for this is the devils suggestion to weary thee with the fore-thought of so long and weary a course of Christianity to come) but of daies. To day( it is said) if you will hear his voice harden not your hearts. &c. This day( saith Moses to the children of Israel) I set before you death and life: there is no word here of to morrow, and who knoweth whether ever there shall bee a to morrow or not? and the Author to the Hebrewes telleth thee, that after death cometh iudgment. What profiteth it then to thee, how long it be to this day in respect of time? since the day of thy death is the day of iudgement unto thee: and who hath assurance of a minute of life? behold then how near thou art to iudgment.  
But whensoever this separation shall be, death, if thou be in Christ shall not hurt thee: for as the Apostle saith, If when thou wast an enemy, thou wast reconciled unto God by the death of his son: much more being reconciled, thou shalt be saved by his life. It is now stinglesse unto thee, indeed I grant it is, yet loathsome like a Serpent for the sting it once had, and yet hath to the reprobate: but the fear is greater then the touch for being embraced, it bringeth thee to thy long desired home: endeth all thy cares and sorrows, bringing thee from a filthy prison, into the glorious liberty of the sons of God:  
In the mean time the remembrance thereof serveth thee for a bridle to thy life, as by the contrary, the neglect thereof causeth much sorrow. This made Moses in his song, complain of the people. Oh that they were wise! then they would understand this, they would consider their latter end. And the Prophet in the Lamentations; Her filthiness is in her skirts: shee remembered not her last end, therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. But since thou continually remembrest that which so humbleth thee: that thou art dust, and to dust thou must return. Remember also what thy Christ saith, when he forbiddeth thee to fear, because he is the first and the last: telling thee further, that he hath the keys of hell and death: even that key of david, which openeth where no man shutteth: and shutteth where no man openeth. If he who hath done so m●ch for thee be thy jailor, who hath given his life for thee: dost thou think that he will bee so unkind, as to open those gates of hell and death, imprisoning thee again? can, or will he use thee so? whose liberty and ransom cost him so dear? Certainly no, for if an earthly master will not leave his old seruants destitute in their old age, sickness, or extremest extremity: darest thou think that thy great Lord and master, whose love is unspeakable, passing the love of women to their children: mind vnvariable, truth unfallible, power omnipotent, will leave thee then in thy most need? Shall not so just a lawgiver in all perfection observe, what he so strictly and daily enjoineth unto thee? but thou knowest that the mountaines may remove, and the hills fall down: but his mercy shall never depart from thee, O thou afflicted and tossed with tempest, that hast no comfort! It is true, he often-times stayeth until all other comforts be gone, that he may bee the onely comforter: and thou onely repose in him.  
So went he into the mountain, leaving his Disciples to bee tossed in the sea: so slept he in the ship, yet his deity did wake for their safety: being ready( at a help master) to calm all tempests, and make a great calm. For he is not absent in his seeming absence, but only standeth at the door knocking, to see if thou wilt open and let him in. Yet behold love more wonderful: he some-times entereth when all the doors are shut. So did he to his disciples, when he appeared amongst them to Thomas, who had resolved without seeing not to beleeue:( yet wee red of no hast he made to see) But his saviour preventeth him, cometh unto him, causing him put his finger into his hands, and his hands into his side.  
O fountain of the gardens, O well of living waters! is the unspeakable eternity of thy love so great towards thy elect, and their hearts so dull to seek and love thee again? Haue ye no regard, all ye that pass by, unto your souls safety? Behold and see if ever there were any love like unto his love, or sorrow like unto his sorrow, procured by the huge weight of our sins, or ingratitude like unto ours again. Thou maiest then assure thyself, that he is the same God still: even of all the world. And since the sting of death is gone, arm thyself with a good life against it: persuading thyself that the faith of Abraham, shal at length bring thee into his bosom, unto the company of all the elect, to reign with him in glory. Of which, if so small a measure, did transport the disciples vpon mount Thabar, strike Saul to the ground: nay if the reflex of a reflex, did so astonish the children of Isrell, that Moses must cover his face, when he spoke to them: after he had been with the Lord in the mount. What shall the fullness thereof do, when thou shalt see him as he is? What can bee sufficient for attaining so glorious an eternity? For if ten hundred thousand Methushalems were alive,& should do nothing all their life time but multiply by hundred thousands of millions: if all the sand of the Sea, and drops of the Ocean, could all be numbered: yet here were no end.  
How short then are all these bypassed succession of ages, which haue seemed so tedious and long, in respect of this eternity? The Apostle Peter saith, a thousand yeares are but as a day in his sight: and the royal Psalmist, as yesterday, when it is past, or as a watch in the night. O the unspeakable, unmeasurable glory and ioy of that New jerusalem! the superabundant immensible satiety whereof, so transporteth the beholders. If, I pray you, a week of eternity bee so long, that all these yeares since the Creation in the sight of God, are not so much: what I pray you shall moneths, yeares, thousands of yeares, nay hundred thousand millions of eternity bee?  
The Apostle calleth the afflictions of this life, but a moment in respect hereof: aduise thee then if thou darest venture this eternity, for a moment of vanity. And seeing thou canst not bee a friend to the world( as the Apostle speaketh) unless thou bee an enemy to God: forsake it so much as thou canst. For when near, and in that last day, the obscursion of the sun and moon, the falling of the stars, the shaking of the powers of heaven, the voice of the archangel, and trumpet of God sounding, the musterings of Angels, the opening of the graues, the showtes of the faithful, the shrickes of the reprobate, the sight of all Saints, the brightness of glory dazzling thy eyes, shall assure thee of his approach whom thy soul loveth: himself lastly appearing in his chair of triumph, to fulfil all his gracious promises unto thee. Then shall it not grieve thee, that thou hast suffered, this, or that: the mocks of this, the scoffs of that other: or whatsoever calamity or cross, but rather that thou hast not suffered more for thy Christ:( if the extremity of ioy, do not then quiter bury all remembrance of cares past.) Yet a little while then, nay a very little while, and he that shall come, will come quickly: for there shall be an end( as Salomon speaketh) and thy hope shall not be cut off. Solace thyself then that this day will come, thou knowest not how soon, when thou shalt tread down the wicked, they( as Malachi speaketh) being dust under the soles of thy feet; after which to thee there shall bee no more night, but everlasting sunshine: ever with jerome remembering of this voice& trumpet sounding, more fearful a great deal, then that which erst sounded on mount Sinai: when all the people of the camp were afraid. And because the soul( as Augustine speaketh) as it cannot be enlightened of itself, neither can bee filled with itself: a corruptible body being heavy unto it: because it is naked( as the Apostle speaketh) longing to bee clothed from heaven. ever to finish the Catastrophe of thy song, with that mourning and loue-sick spouse of the Canticles: to which also agreeth that of the whole Scriptures. O my well-beloved! fly away, and be like unto the row, or to the young Heart vpon the mountaines of spices.

O jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou maiest be saved: how long shall thy wicked thoughts remain within thee? Ierem. 4.14.  
even the stork in the air knoweth her appointed times, and the Turtle and the Crane, and the Swallow, observe the time of their coming, but my people knoweth not the iudgment of the Lord. Ierem. 8.7.  
Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other Gods whom ye know not?  
And come and stand before me in this house, whereupon my name is called, and say, Wee are delivered, though we haue done all these abominations?  
But go ye now unto my place which was in Shilo, where I set my Name at the beginning, and behold what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. Ierem. 7, 9.10.12.   

Of the Perfection of the Scriptures.  
ye shall put nothing unto the word which I command you, 
Deuterono. IIII.  neither shall ye take ought there-from. 2.  
It is no vain word concerning you, but it is your life. 47. 
XXXII.   
The words of the Lord are pure words, as the silver, 
psalms. XII.  tried in a furnace of earth fined seauen-fold. 6.  
The way of God is uncorrupt: 
XVIII.  the word of the Lord is tried in the fire. 30.  
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: 
XIX.  the testimony of the Lord is sure, and giveth wisdom unto the simplo. 7.  
The statutes of the Lord are right, and rejoice the heart: the commandement of the Lord is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes. 8.  

XXXIII.  The word of the Lord is righteous, and all his works are faithful. 4.  

CXIX.  Except thy law had been my delight, I should haue perished in mine affliction. 92.  
Thy word is a Lanthern unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 105.  
The entrance into thy words sheweth light, and giveth understanding to the simplo. 130. Thy word is proved most pure, and thy seruant loveth it. 140.  
The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting. 144.  
The beginning of thy word is truth. 160.  
every word of God is pure. 
proverbs. XXX.  5  
Put nothing unto his words, least he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. 6.  
Search the Scriptures: 
John. V.  for in them ye think to haue eternal life, and they are they which testify of me. 39.  
I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: 
romans. I.  for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. 16.  
For by it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. 17.  
Continue thou in the things which thou hast learned, 
II: Timoth. III. & art persuaded therof, knowing of whom thou hast learned thē. 14  
And that thou hast known, the holy Scriptures of a child, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through the faith which is in Iesus Christ. 15.  
For the whole Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable to teach, to improve, to correct, and to instruct in righteousness. 16.  
That the man of God may be absolute, being made perfect unto all good works. 17.  

Hebrewes. IIII.  The word of the Lord is lively,& mighty in operation, and sharper then any two-edged sword, and entereth through, even unto the dividing a sunder of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts, and the intent of the heart. 12.  

james. I.  receive with meekness the word that is graffed in you, which is able to save your souls. 21.  
Wee haue also a most sure word of the Prophets, 
II. Peter. I.  to the which ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts. 19.  
So that ye first know this, that no prophesy in the Scripture is of any private motion. 20.  
For the prophesy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Ghost. 21:  
I protest unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, 
revelation. XXII.  if any man shall add unto these things, GOD shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. 18.  
And if any man shall diminish of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from those things which are written in this book. 19.   

Prophecies of Christ.  

Genesis. III.  I Will also put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall break thine head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 15.  

XII.  I will make of thee a great nation, and will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing. 2.  
I will also bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth bee blessed. 3.  
The sceptre shall not depart from judah, 
XLIX.  nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloch come,& the people shall be gathered unto him. 10.  
I shall see him, but not now: 
Numbers. XXIIII.  I shall behold, but not near: there shall come a star of jacob, and a sceptre shall rise of Israell, and shall smite the coasts of Moab, and destroy all the sons of Sheth. 17.  
The Lord thy GOD will raise up unto thee a Prophet like unto me from among you, 
Deuterono. XVIII.  even of thy brethren: unto him ye shall harken. 15.  

job. XIX.  I am sure that my redeemer liveth, and he shall stand the last on the earth. 25.  

psalms. II.  Why do the Heathen rage, and the people murmur in vain? 1.  
The Kings of the earth bandy themselves, and the Princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 2.  
Thou art my son: this day haue I begotten thee. 7.  
ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession. 8.  
Thou shalt crush them with a sceptre of iron, and break them in pieces like a Potters vessel. 9.  

XVI.  Thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy One to see corruption. 10.  
My God, my God, 
XXII. I.  why hast thou forsaken me? 1.  
All they that see me haue me in derision: they make a mow, and nod the head; saying 7.  
he trusted in the Lord, let him deliver him, let him save him, since he loveth him. 8.  
Dogs haue compassed me, and the assembly of the wicked haue enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 16.  
They part my garments among them, and cast lots vpon my vesture. 18.  
Thou art gone up on high: 
LXVIII.  thou hast lead captivity captive, and received gifts for men: yea even the rebellious hast thou lead that the Lord God might dwell there. 18.  

LXIX.  rebuk hath broken mine heart, and I am full of heauienesse, and I looked for some to haue pity on me, but there was none: and for comforters, but I found none. 20.  
For they gave me gull in my meate, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 21.  

CX.  The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 1.  
The Lord shall sand the rod of thy power out of Zion: bee thou ruler in the midst of thine enemies. 2.  
The people shall come willingly at the time of assembling thine army in holy beauty: the youth of thy womb, shall be as the morning due. 3.  
The Lord swore and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for ever, after the order of Melchi-zedeck. 4.  
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. 
Isaiah. VII.  Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and she shall call his name Immanuel. 14.  
unto us a child is born, 
IX.  and unto us a son is given: and the government is vpon his shoulder, and he shall call his name, wonderful, counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace. 6.  
The increase of his government, and peace shall haue none end. 7.  
There shall come a rod forth of the stock of Ishai, 
XI.  and a graffe shall grow out of his roots. 1.  
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest vpon him: the spirit of wisdom& understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge, and of the fear of the Lord. 2.  

XLII.  Behold my seruant: I will stay vpon him: mine elect in whom my soul delighteth: I haue put my spirit vpon him: he shall bring forth iudgment to the Gentiles. 1.  
he shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to bee heard in the street. 2.  
A bruised Reede shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth iudgment in truth. 3.  

L.  The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned back. 5.  
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to the nippers, I hide not my face from shane and spitting. 6.  
Who will beleeue our report, 
LIII.  and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 1.  
But he shall grow up before him as a branch, and as a roote out of dry ground: he hath neither form nor beauty: when wee shall see him, there shall bee no form that wee should desire him. 2.  
he is despised and rejected of men: he is a man full of sorrows, and hath experience of infirmities: wee hide as it were our faces from him: he was despised, and wee esteemed him not. 3.  
Surely he hath born our infirmities, and carried our sorrows: yet wee did judge him as plagued, and smitten of God, and humbled. 4.  
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was broken for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was vpon him, and with his stripes wee are healed. 5.  
The Lord hath laid vpon him the iniquity of us all. 6.  
he was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet did he not open his mouth: he is brought as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearer is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 7.  
he was taken out from the prison, and from iudgement: and who shall declare his age? for he was cut out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he plagued. 8.  
And he made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death, though he had done no wickedness, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 9.  
Yet the Lord would break him, and make him subject to infirmities: when he shall make his soul as an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, and shall prolong his dayes, and the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hands. 10.  
he shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall bee satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous seruant justify many: for he shall bear their iniquities. 11.  
Therefore will I give him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he hath powred out his soul unto death: and he was counted with the transgressors, and he bare the sin of many, and prayed for the trespassers. 12.  

LV.  Incline your ears and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live, I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of david. 3.  
Behold, I gave him for a witness to the people, for a Prince and a master to the people. 4.  

LXI.  The Spirit of the Lord is vpon me, therefore hath the Lord anointed me: he hath sent me to preach good tidings to the poor, to bind up the broken-hearted, to preach liberty to the captives, and to them that are bound, the opening of the prison. 1.  
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn. 2.  
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, and to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of ioy for mourning, the garment of gladness for the spirit of heaviness, that they might bee called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. 3.  
Behold, 
LXII.  the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world: tell the daughter of Zion; Behold, thy saviour cometh: behold his wages is with him, and his work is before him. 11.  

jeremiah. XXIII.  Behold the dayes come saith the Lord, that I will raise unto david a righteous branch, and a King shall reign, and prosper, and shall execute iudgement, and iustice in the earth. 5  
In his dayes judah shall bee saved, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the Name whereby they shall call him, The LORD our righteousness. 6.  

XXXIII.  Behold, the dayes come saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I haue promised unto the house of Israel, and to the house of judah. 14.  
In those dayes and at that time, will I cause the branch of righteousness to grow up unto david, and he shall execute iudgment, and righteousness in the Land. 15.  
I will help my sheep, 
Ezekiel. XXXIIII.  and they shall bee no more spoiled, and I will judge between sheep and sheep. 22.  
And I will set up a shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my seruant david, he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. 23.  
And I the Lord will be their God, and my seruant david shall bee the Prince among them. 24.  
And I will raise up for them a plant of renown. 29.  
And david my seruant shall bee King over them, 
XXXVII.  and they all shall haue one shepherd. 24.  

Daniel. IX.  seventy weekes are determined vpon the people, and vpon the holy city, to finish the wickedness, and to seal up the sins, and to reconcile the iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophesy, and to anoint the most holy. 24.  
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandement to bring again the people, and to build jerusalem, unto Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weekes, and three-score& two weekes, and the street shall bee built again, and the wall, even in a troublous time. 25.  
And after three-score and two weekes, shall Messiah bee slain,& shall haue nothing. 26.  
Then shall the children of judah, 
Hosea. I.  and the children of Israel bee gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great is the day of Izrael. 11.  
In that day will I raise up the Tabernacle of david that is fallen down, 
Amos. IX.  and close up the breaches thereof, and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the dayes of old 11  
But in the last dayes it shall come to pass, 
Micah. IIII.  that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared in the top of the mountain, and it shall bee exalted above the hills, and people shall flow unto it. 1.  
And thou Bethlem Ephrathath art little to bee among the thousands of judah, 
V.  yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that shall be ruler in Israel: whose goings forth haue been from the beginning and from everlasting. 2.  
Therefore will he give him up, until the time that shee which shall bear, shal travail: then the remnant of their brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. 3.  
And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, and in the majesty of the Name of the Lord his God, and they shall dwell still: for now shall he be magnified unto the ends of the world. 4.  
And he shall be our peace. 5.  

Zechariah. III.  hear now O Iehoshua the Priest, thou and thy fellowes that sit before thee: for they are monstrous persons: but behold, I will bring forth the Branch my seruant. 8.  
For lo, the ston that I haue laid before Iehoshua: vpon the ston shall bee seven eyes: behold, I will cut out the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will take away the iniquity of this land in one day. 9.  
rejoice greatly, 
IX.  o Daughter of Zion: shout for ioy, o daughter jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just and saved himself, poor and riding vpon an ass, and vpon a colt of the foal of an ass. 9.   

Of Christs eternal God-head and unity with the Father.  

Isaiah. IX.  unto us a Child is born, and unto us a son is given: and the government is vpon his shoulder, and he shall call his name wonderful, counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. 6.  

XLIII.  I, even I am the Lord, and beside me there is no saviour. 11.  

XLIIII.  Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts, I am the first, and I am the last, and with-out me there is no God. 6.  

●eremiah. XXIII.  Behold, the dayes come saith the Lord, that I will raise unto david a righteous branch, and a King shall reign and prosper●, and shall execute iudgement and iustice in the earth. 5.  
In his dayes judah shall bee saved, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the Name whereby they shall call him, The LORD our righteousness. 6.  
And thou Bethlehem Ephrathah art little to be among the thousand of judah, 
Micah. V.  yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that shall be ruler in Israel: whose going forth haue been from the beginning, and from everlasting. 2.  
In the beginning was the word, 
John. I.  and the word was with God, and that word was God. 1  
The same was in the beginning with God. 2.  
All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made. 3.  
In it was life, and the life was the light of men. 4.  
And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. 5.  
he was in the world, and the world was made by him,& the world knew him not. 10.  
The word was made flesh, and dwelled among us( and wee saw the glory thereof, as the glory of the onely begotten son of the Father) full of grace and truth. 14.  

matthew. X.  he that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that hath sent me. 40.  

XI.  All things are given unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the son, but the Father: neither knoweth any man the Father, but the son, and he to whom the son will reveal him. 27.  
The son can do nothing of himself, 
John. V.  save that he seeth the Father do: for whatsoever things he doth, the same things doth the son also. 19.  
For the Father loveth the Son,& sheweth him all things, whatsoever he him-self doth. 20  
For likewise as the Father raiseth up the dead; and quickeneth them, so the son quickeneth whom he will. 21.  
For the Father iudgeth no man, but hath committed all iudgment unto the son. 22.  
Because that all men should honour the son, as they honour the Father: he, that honoureth not the son, this same honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 23.  
As the Father hath life in himself, so likewise hath he given to the son to haue life in himself. 26.  
And hath given him power also to execute iudgment, in that he is the son of man. 27.  

VIII.  If I also judge, my iudgment is true: for I am not alone, but I& the Father that sent me. 16.  
ye neither know me nor my Father, If ye had known me, ye should haue known my Father also. 19.  
Before Abraham was I am. 58  
I and my Father are one. 30.  

X.  If I do not the works of my Father, beleeue me not. 37.  
But if I do, then though ye beleeue not me, yet beleeue the works, that ye may know and beleeue, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 38.  
he that believeth in me, 
XII.  believeth not in me, but in him that sent me. 44.  
And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. 45.  
Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
XIII.  If I sand any, he that receiveth him receiveth me, and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. 20.  
No man cometh unto the Father but by me. 6. 
XIIII.   
If ye had known me, ye should haue known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and haue seen him. 7.  
Iesus said unto him, I haue been so long time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me, hath seen my Father: how then sayest thou, show us thy Father?  
believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doth the works. 10.  
Beleeue in me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: at the least beleeue me for the very works sake. 11.  

XV.  he that hateth me hateth my Father also. 23.  

XVI.  All things that the Father hath are mine 15.  
I am come out from the Father, and came into the world, again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 28.  
I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 32.  
And now glorify me thou Father, with thine own self, 
XVII.  with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 5.  
Holy Father, keep them in thy Name, even them whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as wee are. 11.  
That they all may be one, as thou O Father art in me, and I in thee, even that they may be also one in us, 21.  
The first man is of the earth, 
I. Corinth. XV.  earthly: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 47.  
even unto me the least of all Saints, 
Ephesians. III.  is this grace given that I should preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ. 8.  
And to make clear unto all men what the fellowship of the mystery is, which from the beginning of the world hath been hide in God, who hath created all things by Iesus Christ. 9.  

IIII.  he that descended, is even the same that ascended far above all Heauens, that he might fill all things. 10.  

Philipians. II.  Let the same mind bee in you, that was even in Christ Iesus. 5.  
Who being in the form of God, thought it no robbery to be equal with God. 6.  

Colossians. I  Who is the image of the invisible God, the first born of every creature. 15.  
For by him were all things created which are in heaven, and which are on earth, things visible and invisible: whether they bee Thrones or Dominions, or Principalities or Powers, all things were created by him, and for him, 16.  
And he is before all things, and in him all things consist. 17  
And he is the head of the body of the Church: he is the beginning, and the first born of the dead, that in all things he might haue the pre-eminence. 18.  
For it pleased the Father, that in him should all fullness dwell, 19.  
And by him to reconcile all things unto himself, and to set at peace through the blood of his cross, both the things in earth, and the things in heaven, 20.  
In whom are hide all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, 3. 
II.   
For in him dwelleth al the fullness of the God-head bodily. 9  
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. 10.  

I: Timoth. V  keep this commandement without spot, and vnrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ. 14.  
Which in due time he shall show, that is blessed and Prince onely, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. 15.  
Who onely hath immortality, and dwelleth in the light that none can attain unto, whom never man saw, nor can see, 16.  
In these last dayes, he hath spoken unto us by his son, 
Hebrewes. I.  whom he hath made heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds. 2.  
Who being the brightness of the glory, and the engraved form of his person, and bearing up all things by his mighty word, hath by himself purged our sins, and sitteth at the right hand of the majesty in the highest places, 3.  
That which was from the beginning, 
I. Epi. joh.  which wee haue heard, which we haue seen with these our eyes, which wee haue looked vpon, and these hands of ours haue handled of the word of life. 1.  
( For the life appeared, and we haue seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and appeared unto vs. 2.  
whosoever denieth the son, 
II.  the same hath not the father. 23.  
There are three, 
V.  which bear record in heaven, the Father, the word, and the holy Ghost: and these three are one. 7.  
This is the record, that God hath given us, eternal life, and this life is in his son. 11.  
He that hath the son hath life: and he that hath not the son of God, hath not life. 12  

II. Epi. joh.  whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. he that continueth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the son. 9.  
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, 
revelation, I.  saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, even the Almighty. 8.   

The pattern of Prayer. Together with four PASSIONS thereof, david grievously mourning and Confessing, Earnestly requesting, passionately demanding, and Assuredly triumphing. OF PRAYER.  
PRay for them which hurt you and persecute you. 44, 
matthew. V.  When thou prayest, 
VI.  bee not as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the Synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, because they would be seen of men. 5.  
But when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray unto thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly, 6.  
Also when ye pray, use no vain repetitions as the heathen: for they think to be heard for their much babbling. 7.  
Bee ye not like them therefore: for your Father knoweth whereof ye haue need before ye ask of him. 8.  
After this maner therfore pray ye, Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. 9  
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, even in earth as it is in heaven. 10.  
give us this day our daily bread. 11.  
And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debters. 12  
And led us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, for ever, Amen. 13.  
ask,& it shall be given you: 
VII.  seek, and ye shall find: knock,& it shall be opened unto you 7  
For whosoever asketh, receiveth:& he that seeketh findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall bee opened. 8.  
verily I say unto you, 
XVIII.  that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoever they shal desire, it shal be given them of my father which is in heaven. 19.  
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, ther am I in the midst of thē. 20  
whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, 
XXI.  if ye beleeue ye shall receive it. 22.  

XXVI.  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: for the spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh is weak. 41.  

mark. XI.  When ye shall stand and pray, forgive, If ye haue any thing against any man, that your Father also which is in heaven, may forgive you your trespasses 25:  
For if ye will not forgive, your Father which is in heaven will not pardon you your trespasses. 26.  

Luke. XXI.  Watch therefore and pray continualiy, that ye may bee counted worthy to escape all those things that shall come to pass, and that ye may stand before the son of man. 36.  

John. XV.  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask what ye will and it shall bee done to you, 7.  
I will see you again, 
XVI.  and your hearts shall rejoice, and your ioy shall no man take from you. 22.  
And in that day shall ye ask me nothing, verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my Name, he will give it you. 23.  
hitherto ye haue asked nothing in my Name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your ioy may bee full. 24.  
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 
romans. VIII.  for wee know not what to pray as wee ought: but the Spirit itself maketh request for us with sighs which cannot bee expressed. 26.

david grievously Mourning and Confessing.  
MIne eye is dimned for despite, 
psalms. VI.  and sunk in because of all mine enemies. 7.  
I fainted in my mourning, I cause my bed every night to swim, and water my couch with tears.  

XXII.  My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? and art so far from mine health,& from the words of my roaring. 1.  
O my God, I cry by day, but thou hearest not, and by night but haue no audience. 2.  
I am a worm, and not a man: a shane of men, and the contempt of the people. 6.  
I am like water powred out, and all my bones are out of joint: mine heart is like wax: it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 14.  
My strength is dried up like a pot-sheard, and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws, and thou hast brought me unto the dust of death. 15.  

XXXI.  Haue mercy vpon me, O Lord: for I am in trouble: mine eye, my soul, and my belly, are consumed with grief. 9.  
For my life is wasted with heaviness, and my yeares with mourning: my strength faileth for my pain, and my bones are consumed. 10.  
I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. 12.  
When I held my tongue, 
XXXII.  my bones consumed, or when I roared all the day. 3.  
For thine hand is heavy vpon me day and night; and my moisture is turned into the drought of Summer. 4.  
Thine arrows haue light vpon me, 
XXXVIII.  and thine hand lieth vpon me. 2.  
There is nothing sound in my flesh, because of thine anger: neither is there rest in my bones, because of my sin. 3.  
Mine iniquities are gone over mine head,& as a weighty burden they are too heavy for me. 4  
My wounds are putrefied, and corrupt, because of my foolishness. 5.  
I'am bowed and crooked, very sore: I go mourning all the day. 6.  
My reins are full of burning, and there is nothing sound in my flesh 7.  
I am weakened and sore broken: I roar for the very grief of mine heart. 8.  
Mine heart panteth: my strength faileth me, and the light of mine eyes, even they are not mine own. 10.  
My louers and my friends, stand aside from my plague,& my kinsmen stand a far off. 11.  
Surely I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is ever before me. 17.  
Innumerable troubles haue compassed me: 
XL. & my sins haue taken such hold vpon me, that I am not able to look up: yea they are mo in number then the hairs of mine head: therefore mine heart hath failed me. 12.  
My tears haue been my meat day and night, 
XLII.  while they daily said, where is thy God? 3.  
Our soul is beaten down unto the dust, 
XLIIII.  our belly cleaveth unto the ground. 25.  
Mine heart trembleth within me, 
LV.  and the terrors of death are fallen vpon me. 4.  
fear and trembling are come vpon me, and an horrible fear hath covered me. 5.  
The waters are entred even to my soul. 1. 
LXIX.   
I stick fast in the deep mire, where no stay is: I am come into deep waters, and the streams run over me. 2.  
I am weary of crying: my throat is dry; mine eyes fail whilst I wait for my God. 3.  
They that hate me without a cause, are more then the hairs of mine head. 4.  
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, even an alien unto my mothers sons. 8.  

LXXI.  I am become as it were a monster unto many. 7.  

LXXXVIII  My soul is filled with evils, and my life draweth near unto the grave. 3  
I am counted among them that go down unto the pit,& am as a man without strength. 4  
Free among the dead, like the slain lying in the grave, whom thou remembrest no more. 5.  
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, and in the deep. 6.  
Thine indignation lieth vpon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy waves. 7.  
Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, and made me to bee abhorred of them: I am shut up, and cannot get forth. 8.  
Mine eye is sorrowful through mine affliction. 9.  
I am afflicted and at the point of death: from my youth I suffer thy terrors, doubting of my life. 15.  
Thine indignations go over me, and thy fear hath cut me off. 16.  
They came round about me daily like water, and compassed me together. 17.  
My louers and friends hast thou put away from me, and mine acquaintance hide themselves. 18.  

CII.  My dayes are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burnt like an hearth. 3.  
Mine heart is smitten and withereth like grass, because I forgot to eat my bread. 4.  
For the voice of my groaning, my bones do cleave to my skin. 5.  
I am like a Pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the deserts. 6.  
I watch and am as a sparrow alone vpon the house top. 7.  
Mine enemies revile me daily,& they that rage against me, haue sworn against me. 8.  
Surely I haue eaten ashes as bread, and mingled my drink with weeping. 9.  
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast heaved me up, and cast me down. 10.  
My dayes are like a shadow that fadeth, and I am withered like grass. 11.  
I depart like the shadow that declineth, 
CIX.  and am shaken off as the grasshopper. 23.  
My knees are weak through fasting, and my flesh hath lost all fatness. 24.  
My soul melteth for heaviness. 
CXIX.  28.  
I am like a bottle in the smoke. 83.  
I am very sore afflicted. 107.  
My soul is continually in mine hand. 109.  
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee, and I am afraid of thy iudgments. 120.  
I am small and despised. 141.  
Trouble and anguish are come vpon me. 143.  
I haue gone astray like a lost sheep. 176.  

CXXXIX.  Thou holdest me strait behind and before, and layest thine hand vpon me. 5.  
Thy knowledge is too wonderful for me: it is so high that I cannot attain unto it. 6.

Blessed are they that do his commandements, that their right may be in the three of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 14.   

Woe unto whom.  
WOe to thee, 
Ecclesiastes X.  O land when thy King is a child, and thy Princes eat in the morning. 16.  
Woe bee to the wicked, 
Isaiah. III.  it shall be evil with him: for the reward of his hands shall bee given him. 11.  

V.  Woe unto them that join house to house, and lay field to field, till there be no place, that ye may be placed by yourselves in the midst of the earth. 8.  
Woe unto them that rise up early to follow drunkenness, and to them that continue until night, till the wine do inflame them. 11.  
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity and sin as with cart-rops. 18.  
Wo unto them that speak good of evil, and evil of good, which put darkness for light, and light for darkness. 20.  
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes,& prudent in their own sight. 21.  
Wo unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and to them that are strong to poure in strong drink. 22.  
Wo unto them that decree wicked decrees, 
X. & writ grievous things. 1.  
To keep back the poor from iudgement, and to take away the iudgment of the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey,& that they may spoil the fatherless. 2.  
Wo unto them that seek deep to hid their counsel from the Lord: 
XXIX.  for their works are in darkness& they, say who seeth us?& who knoweth us? 5.  
Wo to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, 
XXX.  that take council, but not of me, and cover with a covering, but not by my spirit, that they may lay sin upon sin. 1:  
Woe unto them that go 
XXXI.  down into egypt for help, and stay vpon horses, and trust in Chariots, because they are many, and in horsemen because they be very strong: but they look not unto the holy one of Israel, nor seek unto the Lord. 1.  

XXXIII.  Woe to thee that spoilest, and wast not spoiled, and dost wickedly, and they did not wickedly against thee: when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt bee spoiled: when thou shalt make an end of doing wickedly, they shall do wickedly against thee. 1.  

XLV.  Woe bee unto him that striveth with his maker, the pot-sheard with the pot-sheards of the earth: shall the day say to him that fashioneth it, what makest thou? or thy work, it hath none hands? 9.  
Woe unto him that saith to his father, what hast thou begotten? or to his mother, what hast thou brought forth? 10.  
Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, 
jeremiah. XXII.  and his chambers without equity: he useth his neighbour without wages, and giveth him not for his work. 13.  
Woe bee unto the Pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture, 
XXIII.  saith the Lord. 1.  
Woe unto the foolish Prophets, 
Ezekiel. XIII.  that follow their own spirit, and haue seen nothing. 3  
Woe unto the women that sow pillows under all arme-holes, and make vailes vpon the head of every one that standeth up to hunt souls: will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye give life unto the souls that come unto you? 18.  

XXIIII.  Wo to the bloody city, even to the pot, whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it. 6.  

XXXIIII.  Wo be unto the Sheapherds of Israell, that feed themselves: should not the Sheapherds feed the flocks? 2.  
ye eat the fat, and ye cloth you with the wool: ye kill them that are fed, but ye feed not the sheep. 3.  

Amos. VI.  Wo to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which were famous at the beginning of the nations: and the house of Israell came to them. 1.  

Micah. II.  Wo unto them that imagine iniquity, and work wickedness vpon their beds: when the morning is light they practise it, because their hand hath power. 1.  
Wo unto him that buildeth a town with blood, 
Habakuc. II  and erecteth a city by iniquity. 12.  
Wo unto him that giveth his neighbour drink. 15.  
Wo unto him that saith to the wood awake, and to the dumbe-stone rise up, it shall teach thee: behold it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath in it. 19.  
Wo to her that is filthy& polluted to the robbing city. 1. 
Zephaniah. III.   
Woe be unto the world because of offences: 
matthew. XVIII.  for it must needs bee that offences shall come, but woe be to that man by whom the offence cometh. 7. 
XXIII.   
Wo therefore be unto you Sctibes and pharisees, hypocrites, because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven before men: for ye yourselves go not in, neither suffer ye them that would enter to come in. 13  
Woe bee unto you, Scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, for ye devour widows houses, even under a colour of long prayers: wherefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 14.  
Woe bee unto you, Scribes and pharisees, hypocrites: for ye compass sea and land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, you make him two-fold more the child of hell, then you yourselves. 15.  
Woe bee unto you blind guides, which say, whosoever sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoever sweareth by the gold of the Temple, he offendeth. 16.  
Woe be to you, Scribes and pharisees, hypocrites: for ye tithe Mint and anise, and cumin,& leave the weightier matters of the Law, as iudgment and mercy, and fidelity: These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue left the other. 23.  
Woe be to you Scribes and pharisees, hypocrites: for ye make clean the vtter-side of the cup and of the platter: but within they are full of bribery and excess. 25.  
Woe bee unto you Scribes and pharisees, hypocrites: for ye are like unto whited tombs which appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and of all filthiness. 27.  
Wo bee unto you Scribes and pharisees, hypocrites: for ye build the tombs of the Prophets,& garnish the sepulchres of the righteous. 29.  

Luke. VI.  Wo be to you that are rich: for you haue received your consolation. 24.  
Wo be to you that are full, for ye shall hunger, woe bee to you that now laugh for ye shall wail and weep. 25.  
Wo be to you when all men speak well of you: for so did their fathers to the false Prophets. 26.  

XI.  Woe bee to you pharisees: for ye love the vpermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 43.  
Wo be to you Scribes& pharisees, hypocrites: for ye are as graues which appear not,& the men that walk over them perceive not. 44.  
Woe bee to you also, ye interpreters of the Law: for ye lad men with burdens grievous to be born, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 46.  
Wo be to you: for ye build the sepulchres of the Prophets,& your Fathers killed them. 47.  
Woe be to you, interpreters of the Law: for ye haue taken away the key of knowledge: ye entred not in yourselves,& thē that came in, ye forbade. 52.   

Of Faith.  
THe just shall live by his faith. 4. 
Habakuc. II   
Verily I say unto you, 
matthew. XVII.  If ye haue faith is much as is a grain of Mustard-seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove: and nothing shall be unpossible unto you. 20.  

XXI.  verily I say unto you, If ye haue faith and doubt not, ye shall not onely do that which I haue done to the Fig-tree, but also if ye say unto this mountain, Take thyself away, and cast thyself into the sea, it shal be done. 21.  

romans. X.  Faith is by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 17.  

XIIII.  whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 23.  

II. Corinth. I. V. Galathians. III. Hebrewes. XI.  By faith ye stand, 24.  
Wee walk by faith, and not by sight. 7.  
The Law is not of faith. 12.  
Faith is the ground of things which are hoped for, and the evidence of things which are not seen. 1.  
Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to GOD, must beleeue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek him. 6.   

Of believing, or Faith Working.  
IF ye beleeue not, 
Isaiah. VII.  surely ye shall not bee established, 9.  
whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, If ye beleeue, 
matthew XXI.  ye shall receive it. 22.  
All things are possible to him that believeth, 23. 
mark. IX.   
he that shall beleeue, 
XVI.  and be baptized, shall be saved: but he that will not beleeue, shall be damned. 16.  

John. III.  And as Moses lift up the Serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lift up. 14.  
That whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but haue eternal life. 15.  
For God so loved the world, that he hath given his onely begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but haue everlasting life. 16  
He that believeth in him shall not be condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, 
〈◇〉 IX●  because he believeth not in the name of the onely begotten son of God. 18.  
He that believeth in the Son, hath everlasting life, and he that obeyeth not the son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. 36.  
Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
V.  he that heareth my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath everlasting life,& shall not come into condennation, but hath passed from death unto life. 24,  
I am the bread of life: 
VI.  he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth in me shall never thirst. 35.  
This is the will of him that hath sent me, that every man which seeth the son, and believeth in him, should haue everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 40.  
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life. 47.  
he that believeth in me, 
VII.  as saith the Scripture, out of his belly shall flow riuers of water of life. 38.  

XI.  I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. 25.  
And whosoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never die, 26.  

XII.  I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me, should not abide in darkness. 46.  

XIIII.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do he shall do also, and greater then these shall he do: For I go unto my my Father. 12.  

romans. X.  If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart that God raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 9.  
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth man confesseth to salvation. 10.  
whosoever believeth in him shall not be ashamed. 11.  
If wee beleeue not, 
II. Timoth. II.  yet abideth he faithful: he cannot deny himself. 13.  
This is then his commandement, 
I. John. III.  That wee beleeue in the Name of his son IESVS Christ, and love one another as he gave commandement. 23  
whosoever believeth that Iesus is the Christ, 
V.  is born of God. 1.  
he that believeth in the son of God, hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he believed not the record, that God witnessed of his son. 10.  
These things haue I written unto you that beleeue in the name of the son of God, that ye may know that ye haue eternal life, and that ye may beleeue in the name of the son of God. 13.   

Of Hope.  

job. VIII.  THe hypocrites hope shall perish. 13.  

psalms. IX.  The poor shall not be alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for ever. 18  

XXVII▪  Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart,& trust in the Lord. 14.  

XXXVII.  wait patiently vpon the Lord, and hope in him. 7.  

XLVI.  God is our hope and strength and help in troubles, ready to be found, 1:  
The hope that is deferred is the fainting of the heart: 
proverbs. XIII.  but when the desire cometh, it is a three of life. 12.  
Let not thine heart be envious against sinners: 
XXIII.  but let it be in the fear of the Lord continually. 17.  
For surely there is an end,& thy hope shall not be cut off. 18  
Blessed be the man that trusteth in the Lord, 
jeremiah. XVII.  and whose hope the Lord is. 7.  
The Lord will bee the hope of his people. 16. 
Ioel. III.   
We are saved by hope: 
romans. VIII.  but hope that is seen is not hope: for how can a man hope for that which he seeth? 24.  
But if wee hope for that we see not, wee do with patience abide for it. 25.  
If in this life onely wee haue hope in Christ, 
I. Corinth. XV.  wee are of all men the most miserable. 19.  

Hebrewes. III.  But Christ is as the son over his own house, whose house we are, if we hold fast the confidence, and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end. 6.  

VI.  We desire that every one of you show the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope unto the end. 11.  
God willing more abundantly to show unto the heires of promise, the stableness of his counsel, bound himself by an oath. 17.  
That by two immutable things, wherein it is unpossible that God should lie, we might haue strong consolation, which haue our refuge to hold fast the hope that is set before vs. 18.  
Which we haue as an anchor of the soul both sure and steadfast, and it entereth into that which is within the vail. 19.  
Whether the fore-runner is for us entred in, even Iesus that is made an high Priest for ever, after the order of Melchi-zedec. 20.  
Let us keep the profession of our hope, 
X.  without wavering,( for he is faithful that promised.) 23.   

Of love.  
THou shalt love the Lord thy GOD with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, 
Deuterono. VI.  and with all thy might. 5.  
And now Israell, 
X.  what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, and to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 12.  

XI.  Therfore thou shalt love the lord thy God,& shalt keep that which he commandeth to bee kept: that is, his ordinances, and his laws,& his commandements alway. 1.  

Iudges. V.  But they that love him, shall be as the sun when he riseth in his might. 31.  

psalms. XXXI.  love ye the Lord all his Saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and rewardeth abundantly the proud doer. 23  

XCVII. CXLV.  Ye that love the Lord hate evil. 10  
The Lord preserveth all them that love him. 
proverbs. X.  20.  
Hatred stirreth up contentions: but love covereth all trespasses. 12.  
Better is a dinner of green herbs where love is, 
XV.  then a stalled ox& hatred therewith. 17  
he that covereth a transgression seeketh love. 9. 
XVII.   
A friend loveth at all times: and a brother is born for adversity. 17.  
love is strong as death. 6. 
Canticles. VIII.   
Much water cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: If a man should give all the substance of his house for love, they would greatly contemn it. 7.  
Yea I haue loved thee with an everlasting love, 
jeremiah. XXXI.  therfore with mercy haue I drawn thee. 3.  
love your enemies. 44. 
matthew. V.   
He that loveth father or mother more then me, 
X.  is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more then me, is not worthy of me. 37.  

Luke. VI.  If ye love them which love you, what thankes shall you haue? for even the sinners love those that love them. 32.  

John. III.  God so loved the world, that he hath given his onely begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but haue everlasting life. 16.  

XIII.  he loved his own which were in the world, unto the end he loved them. 1.  
A new commandement give I unto you, that ye love one another: as I haue loved you, that ye also love one another. 34.  
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, If ye love one another. 35.  

XIIII.  If ye love me, keep my commandements. 15.  
he that hath my commandements, and keepeth them, is he that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will show mine own self unto him. 21.  
If any man love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and will dwell with him. 23.  
he that loveth me not, keepeth not my words. 24.  
As the Father hath loved me, 
XV.  so haue I loved you: continue in my love. 9.  
If ye shall keep my commandements, ye shall abide in my love, as I haue kept my Fathers commandements, and abide in his love. 10.  
This is my commandement, that ye love one another, as I haue loved you. 12.  
Greater love then this hath no man, when any man bestoweth his life for his friends. 13.  

XVI.  For the Father himself loveth you, because ye haue loved me, and haue believed that I came out from God. 27.  

XVII.  I haue declared unto them thy name, and will declare it, that the love where-with thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them. 26.  

romans. V  God setteth out his love towards us, seeing that while wee were yet sinners Christ dyed for vs. 8.  

VIII.  Also we know that all things work together for the best, unto them that love God, even to them that are called of his purpose. 28.  
Let love be without dissimulation. 9. 
XII.   
Bee affectioned to love one another with brotherly love. 10  
Owe nothing to any man, 
XIII.  but to love one another: for he that loveth another, hath fulfilled the Law. 8.  
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness; Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandement, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 9.  
love doth not evil to his neighbour▪ therfore is love the fulfilling of the Law. 10.  
The things which eye hath not seen, 
I. Corinth. II.  neither ear hath heard, neither came into mans heart, are, which God hath prepared for them that love him. 9  

XIII.  Though I speak with the tongues of Men and Angels,& haue not love, I am as sounding brass, or a tinkling Symbal. 1.  
And though I had the gift of prophesy, and knew all secrets and all knowledge, yea if I had all faith, so that I could remove mountaines, and had not love, I were nothing. 2.  
And though I feed the poor with all my goods, and though I give my body that I bee burned, and haue not love, it profiteth me nothing. 3.  
love suffereth long: it is bountiful: love envieth not: love doth not boast itself: it is not puffed up. 4.  
It disdaineth not: it seeketh not her own things: it is not provoked to anger: it thinketh not evil. 5.  
It rejoiceth not in iniquity: but rejoiceth in the truth. 6.  
It suffereth all things: it believeth all thing: it hopeth all things: it endureth all things. 7.  
love doth never fall away, though that wrongs bee abolished, or the tongues cease, or knowledge vanish away. 8.  
Now abideth, faith, hope, and love, even these three: but the chiefest of these is love. 13.  
Follow after love, 
XIIII.  and covet spiritual gifts. 1.  
Let all your things be done in love. 14. 
XVI.   
If any man love not the Lord Iesus Christ, let him bee had in execration, yea excommunicate to death. 22.  

Galathians. IIII.  It is a good thing to love earnestly always in a good thing. 18.  

V.  By love serve one another. 13  
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, which is this, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 14.  

Ephesians. V.  walk in love, even as Christ hath loved us, and hath given himself for us, to bee an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet smelling savour to God. 2.  
Husbands love your wives, even as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. 25.  
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife loveth himself. 28.  
Let every one love his wife even as himself, and let the wife see that she fear her husband. 33.  
above all these things, 
Colossians. III.  put on love, which is the bond of perfectnessē. 14.  
Husbands love your wives, and be not bitter unto them. 19.  
As touching brotherly love, 
I. Thessalo. IIII.  ye need not that I writ unto you: for ye are taught of God to love one another. 9.  
The end of the commandement is love, out of a pure hart, 
L Timoth. I.  and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned. 5.  
Let brotherly love continue. 
Hebrewes. XIII. I. Peter. I.  1  
love one another with a pure heart fervently. 22.  
above all things haue fervent love among you: 
IIII.  for love covereth the multitude of sins. 8.  
he that keepeth his word, 
I. John. II.  in him is the love of God perfect indeed: hereby we know that we are in him. 5.  
He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of evil in him. 10.  
love not the world, neither the things that are in the world: If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him. 15.  

III.  Behold what love the father hath shewed on us, that wee should be called the sons of God. 1.  
In this are the children of God known, and the children of the devill: whosoever doth not righteousness, is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 10.  
For this is the message, that ye heard from the beginning, that wee should love one another. 11.  
We know that we are translated from death unto life, because wee love the Brethren: he that loveth not his brother, abideth in death. 14.  
Hereby haue we perceived love, that he laid down his life for vs. 16.  
Let us not love in word, neither in tongue onely, but in dead and in truth. 18.  
This is then his commandement, that wee beleeue in the name of his son Iesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave commandement. 23.  
beloved, 
IIII.  let us love one another: for love cometh of God, and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 7.  
he that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is love. 8.  
In this appeared the love of God towards us, because God sent his onely begotten son into the world, that wee might live through him. 9.  
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son to bee a reconciliation for our sins. 10.  
beloved if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 11.  
No man hath seen God at any time, if wee love one another, God dwelleth in us,& his love is perfect in vs. 12.  
And we haue known, and believed the love that God hath in vs. God is love, and goody that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 16.  
Herein is the love perfect in us, that wee should haue boldness in the day of iudgement: for as he is, even so are we in this world. 17.  
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath painefullnesse: and-hee that feareth, is not perfect in love. 18.  
Wee love him because he loved us first. 19.  
If any ma● say I love God,& hate hi● brother, he is a liar: for how can he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen? 20.  
And this commandement haue we of him, that he which loveth God should love his brother also. 21.  
whosoever believeth that Iesus is the Christ, is born of God, and every one that loveth him which begot, loveth him also which is begotten of him. 1  
In this wee know that wee love the children of God, when wee love God, and keep his commandem●nts. 2.  
For this is the love of God, that wee keep his commandements: and his commandements are not grievous. 3.  

II. John.  Now beseech I thee lady,( not as writing a new commandement unto the●, but that same which wee had from the beginning) that we love one another. 5  
And this is the love, that we should walk after his commandements. 6.  
keep yourselves in the love of God, 
Iude.  looking for the mercy of our Lord Iesus Christ, unto eternal life. 21.   

Of the cross Chastening, and Suffering.  
BEhold, blessed is the man whom God correcteth, therefore refuse not thou the chastising of the Almighty. 1●. 
job. V.   
For he maketh the wound, and bindeth it up: he smiteth& his hands make whole. 18.  
Blessed is the man whom thou chastisest, O Lord, 
psalms. XCIIII.  and teachest him in thy Law. 12.  
That thou mayst give him rest from the daies of evil, whiles the pit is digged for the wicked. 13  
My son refuse not the chastening of the Lord, 
proverbs. III.  neither be grieved with his correction. 11  
For the Lord correcteth him whom he loveth, even as the Father doth the child in whom he delighteth 12.  

matthew. X.  He that taketh not his cross and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 31.  

Luke. IX.  If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 23.  

XIIII.  whosoever beareth not his cross, and cometh after me, cannot bee my disciple. 27.  

I. Corinth. I.  The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. 18.  

XI.  When wee are judged, wee are chastened of the Lord, because wee should not bee condemned with the world. 32.  

II. Corinth. I.  As the sufferings of Christ ab and in us, so our consolation aboundeth through Christ. 5.  
And our hope is steedfast concerning you, in as much as we know, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 7.  
●●r unto you it is given for Christ, 
Philipians. I  that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake. 29.  
If wee suffer wee shall also reign with him: if we deny him, 
II. Timot. II  he also will deny vs. 12.  
Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth: 
Hebrews. XII.  and he scourgeth every son that he receiveth. 6.  
If ye endure chastening, God offereth himself unto you as unto sons: for what son is it whom the Father chasteneth not? 7.  
If therefore ye bee without correction, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 8.  
moreover wee haue had the fathers of our bodies, which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: should we not much rather bee in subiection unto the Father of spirits, that wee might live? 9.  
For they, verily, for a few dayes chastened us after their own pleasure: but he chasteneth us for our profit, that wee might bee partakers of his holinesse. 10.  
Now no chastninge for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: but afterward it bringeth the quiet fruit of righteousness unto them which are thereby exercised. 11.  

I. Peter. II.  For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfuly. 19.  
For what praise is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently? but and if you do well, ye suffer wrong and take it patiently, this is acceptable to God. 20.  
For hereunto ye are called: for Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an ensample, that ye should follow his steps. 21.  
But rejoice in as much as ye are partakers of Christs sufferings, 
IIII.  that when his glory shall appear, ye may be glad and rejoice. 13.  
If any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God in this behalf. 16.  
wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. 19.

II. Chronic. XV.  whosoever returned in his affliction to the Lord God of Israell, and sought him, he was found of them. 4.  

job. V.  Misery cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth affliction spring out of the earth. 6.  
But man is born unto travel, as the sparks fly upward. 7.  

XXXVI.  He maintaineth not the wicked, but he giveth iudgement to the afflicted. 6.  
he delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ear in trouble. 15.  

XXXVII.  It is the Almighty: wee cannot find him out: he is excellent in power and iudgment, and abondant in iustice: he afflicteth not. 23.  
The Lord also will bee a refuge for the poor, 
psalms. IX.  a refuge in due time, even in affliction. 9.  
He hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the poor: 
XXII.  neither hath he hide his face from him, but when he called unto him he heard. 24.  
The Lord is near unto them that are of a contrite heart, 
XXXIIII.  and will save such as bee afflicted in spirit. 18,  
Before I was afflicted, 
CXIX.  I went astray: but now I keep thy word. 67.  
It is good for me that I haue been afflicted, that I may learn thy Statutes. 71.  
I know O Lord that thy iudgments are right: and that thou hast afflicted me justly. 75.  

Ecclesiastes VII.  In the day of wealth be of good comfort, and in the day of affliction consider: God also hath made this contrary to that, to the intent that man should find nothing after him. 16.

Lamentati. III.   
But though he sand affliction, yet will he haue compassion, according to the multitude of his mercies. 32.  
For he doth not punish willingly, nor afflict the children of men. 33.  
I cried in mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me: 
jonah. II.  out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. 2.  
What do ye imagine against the Lord: 
Nahum. I.  he will make an utter destruction: affliction shall not rise up the second time. 9.  
Though I haue afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more. 12.  

Zephaniah. III.  After a certain time will I gather the afflicted that were of thee, and them that bare the reproach for it. 18.  
Behold, at that time I will bruise all that afflict thee, and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was cast out,& I will get them praise& same in all the lands of their shane. 19.  

John. XVI.  These things haue I spoken unto you, that in me ye might haue peace: in the world ye shall haue affliction, but bee of good comfort, I haue overcome the world. 33.  

romans. VIII.  I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory which shall be shewed unto vs. 18.  

II. Corinth. IIII.  Wee are afflicted on every side, yet are not in distress: in poverty, but not overcome of poverty. 8.  
Wee are persecuted, but not forsaken: cast down, but wee perish not. 9.  
Therefore we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed daily. 16.  
For our light affliction which is but for a moment, causeth unto us a far more excellent and an eternal weight of glory. 17.  
While we look not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen, are temporal, but the things which are not seen, are eternal. 18.  
No man should bee moved with these afflictions: 
I. Thessalo. III.  for ye yourselves know, that we are appointed thereunto. 3.  

II. Timoth. II.  Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good soldier of Iesus Christ. 3.  

Hebrews. II.  For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, seeing that he brought many children unto glory, that he should consecrate the Prince of their salvation thorough afflictions. 10.  

james. IIII.  Suffer afflictons, and sorrow ye, and weep▪ let your laughter be turned into mourning,& your ioy into heaviness. 9.

CXV.  trust in the Lord: for he is their help and their shield. 11.  
They that trust in the Lord, 
CXXV.  shall be as mount Zion, which cannot bee removed, but remaineth for ever. 1.  
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, 
proverbs. III.  and lean not unto thine own wisdom. 5. 
XVI.   
he that is wise in his business, shall find good: and he that trusteth in the Lord, he is blessed. 20.  

XX.  Say not thou, I will recompense evil: but wait vpon the Lord, and he shall save thee. 22.  

XXVIII.  he that is of a proud heart, stirreth up strife: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall bee fat. 25.  

XXX.  every word of God is pure: he is a shield to those that trust in him. 5.  

Isaiah. XXVI.  By an assured purpose wilt thou preserve perfect peace, because they trusted in thee. 3.  
Trust in the Lord for ever▪ for in the Lord God is strength for evermore. 4.  

XXX.  Yet therefore will the Lord wart, that he may haue mercy vpon you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may haue compassion vpon you: for the Lord is the God of iudgment. Blessed are all they that wait for him. 18.  
They that wait vpon the Lord, 
XL.  shal renew their strength: they shall lift up the wings as the Eagles: they shall run and not bee weary, and they shall walk and not faint. 31.  
Who is among you that feareth the Lord? 
L.  let him hear the voice of his seruant: he that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay vpon his God. 10.  
he that trusteth in me, 
LVII.  shall inherit the land, and shall possess mine holy mountain. 13.  
Thus saith the Lord, 
jeremiah. XVII.  Cursed bee the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and with-draweth his heart from the Lord. 5.  

XLXIX.  leave thy farherlesse children, and I will preserve them alive, and let thy widows trust in me. 11.  

Lamentati. III.  The Lord is good unto them that trust in him, and to the soul that seeketh him. 25.  
It is good both to trust and to wait for the salvation of the Lord. 26.

●. Peter. I.  Wherefore, gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and trust perfectly on the grace that is brought unto you, by the revelation of Iesus Christ. 13.

ye are they which haue continued with me in my temptations. 28. 
Luke. XXII.   
Therefore I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed to me. 29.  
There hath no tentation taken you, 
I. Corinth. X  but such as appertaineth to man: and God is faithful which will not suffer you to bee tempted above that you bee able, but will even give the issue with the tentation, that ye may be able to bear it. 13.  
In that he suffered, 
Hebrews. II.  and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 18.  
We haue not an high Priest, 
IIII.  which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sin. 15.  

james. I.  My brethren count it exceeding ioy, when ye fall into diuers temptations. 2.  
Knowing that the trying of your faith bringeth forth patience. 3.  
Blessed is the man that endureth tentation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 12.  
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot bee tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. 13.  
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own concupiscence, and is enticed. 14.  
Resist the devill, 
IIII.  and he will fly from you. 7.  
The Lord knoweth to deliver the godly out of tentation,

Of Patience.  
WAite patiently vpon the Lord, and hope in him, 7.

Be patient toward all men. 
I. thessaly. V  14  

Hebrewes. X.  Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. 35.  
For ye haue need of patience, that after ye haue done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 36.  
For yet a very little while, and he that shall come, will come, and will not tarry. 37.  

james. I.  Let patience haue her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire lacking, nothing. 4.  

V.  Bee patient therefore brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth,& hath long patience for it, until he receive the former, and the latter rain. 7.  
Be ye also patient therefore, and settle your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth near. 8.  
Take my brethren, the Prophets for an ensample of suffering adversity, and of long patience, which haue spoken in the name of the Lord. 10.  
Behold, we count them blessed which endure, ye haue heard of the patience of job,& haue known what end the Lord made. For the Lord is very pitiful and merciful. 11.  
What praise is it, 
I. Peter. II.  if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently? but& if when ye do well, ye suffer wrong and take it patiently, this is acceptable to God. 20.  
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, 
revelation. III.  therfore will I will deliver thee from the hour of tentation, which will come vpon all the world, to try them that dwell vpon the earth. 10.   

Of perseverance.  

matthew. X.  HE that endureth to the end, he shall be saved. 22.  
Let us not therefore be weary of well-doing: 
Galathians. VI.  for in due time we shall reap, if we faint not. 9.  

Hebrewes. III.  Wee are made partakers of Christ, if wee keep sure unto the end the beginning, wherewith we are upholden. 14.  

X.  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any with-draw himself, my soul shall haue no pleasure in him. 38.  

revelation. II.  To him that ouer-cometh, will I give to eat of the three of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God. 7.  
Bee thou faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life. 10.  
he that overcommeth, shall not be hurt of the second death. 11.  
To him that overcommeth, will I give to eat of the Manna that is hide, and will give him a white ston, and in the ston a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. 17.  
He that overcommeth, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over nations. 26.  
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and as the vessels of a potter, shall they bee broken. 27.  
even as I received of my Father, so will I give him the morning star. 28.  
He that overcommeth, 
III.  shall be clothed in white array, and I will not put out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father,& before his Angels. 5.  
Him that overcommeth will I make a pillar in the Temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will writ vpon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is the new jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and I will writ vpon him my new name. 12.  
To him that overcommeth, will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I over came,& sit with my father in his throne. 21  

XXI.  He that ouer-comweth shall inherit all things, and I will bee his God,& he shall be my son. 7   

Comforts in general.  
SIng praises unto the Lord, 
psalms. XXX.  ye his Saints, and give thankes before the remembrance of his holinesse. 4.  
For he endureth but a while in his anger: but in his favour is life: weeping may abide at evening, but ioy cometh in the morning. 5.  
The righteous cry, 
XXXIIII. & the Lord heareth them, and delivereth them out of al their troubles. 17  
Great are the troubles of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. 19.  
Call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliver thee, 
L.  and thou shalt glorify me. 15.  
The sacrifices of God are a contrite spirit: 
LI.  a contrite and broken heart, O God thou wilt not despise. 17.  

LV.  Cast thy burden vpon the Lord, and he shall nourish thee: he will not suffer the righteous to fall for ever. 22.  

CXXVI.  They that sow in tears shall reap in ioy. 5.  
They went weeping, and carried precious seed: but they shall return with ioy,& bring their sheaves. 6.  

CXLV.  The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and lifteth up all, that are ready to fall. 14.  
The Lord is near unto all that call vpon him: yea to all that call vpon him in truth. 18.  

CXLVII.  he healeth those that are broken in heart, and bindeth up their sores. 
Isaiah. XXVII. XL.  3.  
Anger is not in me. 4.  
He giveth strength unto him that fainteth: and unto him that hath no strength he increaseth power. 29.  
But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Iaakob, 
XLIII.  and he that formed thee O Israell, fear not: for I haue redeemed thee: I haue called thee by thy name thou art mine. 1.  
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the floods, that they do not overflow thee. When thou walkest through the very fire, thou shalt not bee burnt, neither shall the flamme kindle vpon thee. 2.  
I, even I, am he that putteth away thine iniquities for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 25.  
look unto me, and ye shall bee saved: 
XLV.  all the ends of the earth shall bee saved: for I am God,& there is none other. 22.  

XLIX.  Can a woman forget her child, and not haue compassion on the son of her womb? though they should forget, yet will I not forget thee. 15.  
Behold, I haue graven thee vpon the palm of mine hands: thy walls are ever in my sight. 16.  

liv.  He that made thee, is thine husband,( whose Name is the Lord of hostes) and thy redeemer the holy one of Israell shall be called the God of the whole world. 5.  
For a little while haue I forsaken thee, but with great compassion will I gather thee. 7.  
For a moment in mine anger, I hide my face from thee for a little season, but with everlasting mercy haue I had compassion on thee, saith the Lord thy redeemer. 8.  
The mountaines shall remove, and the hills shall fall down: but my mercy shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace fall away, saith the Lord that hath compassion on thee. 10.  
Hoe, every one that thirsteth, 
LV.  come ye to the waters, and ye that haue no silver, come, buy and eat: come I say, buy wine and milk without silver, and without money. 1.

LVII.  with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit to revive the spirit of the humble, and to give life to them that are of a contrite heart. 15.

The Lord will not forsake for ever. 31. 
Lamentati. III. Ezekiel. XVIII.   
If the wicked will return from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, and shall not die. 21.  
All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him, but in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 22.  
Haue I any desire that the wicked should die, saith the Lord God? or shall he not live, if he return from his ways? 23.  
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye haue transgressed,& make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel. 31  
For I desire not the death of him that death saith the Lord: cause therefore one another to return, and live ye. 32.  

XXXIII.  As I live saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live, turn you, turn you, from your evil ways, for why will ye die? O ye house of Israel. 11 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandement came forth, 
Daniel. IX. & I am come to show thee for thou art greatly beloved. 23  
fear not Daniel: for from the first day that thou diddest set thine heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard,& I am come for thy words. 12.

whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved. 32. 
Ioel. II.   
But the third shal be left therein. 8. 
Zechariah. XIII.   
And I will bring that third part thorough the fire, and will fine them as the silver is fined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shal call on my name and I will hear them, I will say, it is my people, and they shall say, the Lord is my God. 9.  
I am the Lord I change not. 6. 
Malachy. III.   
They shall be to me saith the Lord of hostes in that day that I shall do this, for a flock, and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 17.  

matthew. IX.  I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance. 13.  

X.  All the hairs of your head are numbered. 30.

He that will save his life shall lose it, and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall save it. 39.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden light, 30.  
whosoever shall do my Fathers will which is in heaven, 
XII.  the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. 50.  
So is it not the will of your Father which is in heaven, 
XVIII.  that one of these little ones should perish. 14.  
whosoever shall forsake houses, or brethren, or sisters, 
XIX.  or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my names sake, he shall receive a hundred fold more, and shall inherit euer-lasting life. 29.  
The son of man is not come 
Luke. IX.  to destroy mens lives, but to save them. 56.  

XII.  fear not little flock, for it is your Fathers pleasure, to give you the kingdom. 32.  

XV.  I say unto you, that likewise ioy shall bee in heaven for one sinner that conuerteth, more thē for ninety& nine just men, which need none amendment of life. 7  

XIX.  The son of man is come to seek, and to save that which was lost. 10.

He that eateth me, even he shall live by me, 57.  
He that eateth of this bread, shall live for ever. 58.  
I am the light of the world: 
VIII.  he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall haue the light of life. 12.  
I am the door, 
X.  by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in, and go out, and find pasture. 9.  
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and haue it in abundance. 10.  
My sheep hear my voice,& I know thē,& they follow me. 27  
And I give unto them eternal life, and they shal never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of mine hand. 28.  
My Father which gave them me, is greater then all, and none is able to take them out of my Fathers hand. 29.  

XII.  If any man serve me, let him follow me: for where I am, there shall also my seruant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 26.  
I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 47.  

XIIII.  In my Fathers house are many dwelling places: if it were not so, I would haue  told you: I go to prepare a place for you. 2.  
And though I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there may ye bee also. 3.  
I will not leave you comfortless▪ but I will come to you. 18  
Yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more, but ye shall see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 19.  
This is life eternal, 
XVII.  that they know thee to be the onely very God, and whom thou hast sent Iesus Christ. 3.  
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me, for they are thine. 9.  
And all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 10.  
And for their sakes sanctify I myself, that they also may bee sanctified thorough the truth. 19.  
I pray not for these alone, but for them also which shall beleeue in me, thorough their word 20.  
Father, I will that they which thou hast given me, bee with me even where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 24.  

XX.  Iesus saith unto her; Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father, but go to my brethren, and say unto them; I ascend unto my Father, and to your Father, and to my God, and your God. 17.  

romans. VIII.  There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, which walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 1.  
As many as are lead by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 14.  

XI.  The gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 29.  
The first man Adam was made a living soul: 
I. Corinth. XV.  and the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit 45.  
he hath made him to bee sin for us, 
II. Corinth. V.  which knew no sin, that wee should be made the righteousness of God in him. 21.  
ye know the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, 
VIII.  that he being rich, for your sakes became poor, that ye thorough his poverty might be made rich. 9.  
If there bee first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. 12.  
he said unto me; 
XII.  My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect thorough weakness. 9.  

XIII.  Though he was crucified concerning his infirmity, yet liveth he thorough the power of God. And wee no doubt are weak in him: but we shall live with him, thorough the power of God toward you. 4.  

Galathians. III.  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, when he was made a curse for vs. 13.  
Ye are all the sons of G●d by faith in Christ Iesus. 26.  

Ephesians. II.  Now in Christ Iesus, ye which once were far off, are made near by the blood of Christ. 13.  
For he is our peace, which hath made of both one,& hath broken the stop of the partition wall. 14.  

Colossians. II.  And ye which were dead in sins, and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, forgiving you all your trespasses. 13.  
And putting out the handwriting of ordi●ances that was against us, which was contrary to us, he even took it out of the way, and fastened it vpon the cross. 14.  
And hath spoiled the Principalities and powers, and hath made a show of them openly, and hath triumphed over them in the same cross. 15.  
This is a true saying, 
I. Timoth. I  and by all means worthy to be received, that Christ Iesus came into the world to save sinners. 15.  
Bodily exercise profiteth little: 
IIII.  but godliness is profitable unto all things, which hath the promise of the life present, and of that, that is to come. 8.  
godliness is great gain, 
VI.  if a man bee content with that he hath. 6.  

II. Timoth. IIII.  Hence-forth is said up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous judge shall give me at that day: and not to me onely, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 8.  

Hebrewes. II.  he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified are all of one; wherefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren. 11.  

IIII.  There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 9.  
For he that is entred into his rest, hath also ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 10.  

XII.  For ye are not come unto the mount that might bee touched, nor unto burning fire, nor to blackness, and darkness, and tempest. 18.  
Neither unto the sound of a trumpet,& the voice of words, which they that heard it, excused themselves, that the word should not bee spoken to them any more. 19.  
But ye are come unto the mount Sion, and to the City of the living God, the celestial jerusalem, and to the company of innumerable Angels. 22.  
And to the congregation of the first born, which are written in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the Spirits of just and perfect men. 23.  
And to Iesus the mediator of the New Testament, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things then that of Abel. 24.  
Let your conversation be without 
XIII.  covetousness, and be content with those things that you haue: for he hath said, I will not fail thee, neither forsake thee. 5.  
So that wee may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, neither will I fear what man can do unto me. 6.  

I. Peter. V.  Cast all your care on him, for he careth for you. 7.  

II. Peter. III  The Lord is not slacken concerning his promise( as some men count slackness) but is patient towards us, and would haue no man to perish, but would all men to come to repentance. 9.  

I. John. I.  If we aclowledge our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 9.  

II.  My babes, these things writ I unto you, that ye sin not: and if any man sin, wee haue an advocate with the Father, Iesus Christ the just. 1.  
And he is the reconciliation for our sins: and not for ours onely, but also for the sins of the whole world. 2.  
And ye know that he appeared, 
III.  that he might take away our sins, and in him is no sin. 5.  
For this purpose appeared the son of God, that he might loose the works of the divell. 8.  
If our heart condemn us, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things. 20.  
he that keepeth his commandements, dwelleth in him, and he in him: and hereby wee know that he abideth in us, even by that Spirit which he hath given vs. 24.  

IIII.  whosoever confesseth that Iesus is the son of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God. 15.  

revelation. XXI.  It is done: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is a thirst, of the Well of the water of life freely, 6.   

That the Lord is merciful.  

Exodus. XXII. XXXIIII.  I Am merciful. 27.  
So the Lord passed before his face, and cried, the Lord, the Lord, strong, merciful,& gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth. 6.  
reserving mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity, and transgression, and sin. 7.  
( The Lord thy God is a merciful God) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, 
Deuteron. IIII.  nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore unto them. 31.  
The Lord your God is gralous and merciful, 
II. Chronic. XXX.  and will not turn away his face from you, if ye convert unto him. 9.  
Thy mercy O Lord reacheth unto the heauens, 
psalms. XXXVI.  and thy faithfulness unto the clouds. 5.  
How excellent is thy mercy, O God? therefore the children of men trust under the shadow of thy wings. 7.  
Thou Lord, 
LXXXVI.  art good and merciful, and of great kindness unto all them that call vpon thee. 5.  
Thou, o Lord, art a pitiful God and merciful, slow to anger,& great in kindness and truth. 15  

C.  The Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting, and his truth is from generation to generation. 5.  

CIII.  The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, slow to ango- and of great kindness. 8.  
For as high as the heaven is above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 11.  

CXVI.  The Lord is merciful and righteous, and our God is full of compassion. 5.  

CXXX.  If thou, O Lord, straitly markest iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? 3.  
But mercy is with thee, that thou maiest be feared. 4  
Let Israel wait on the Lord, for with the Lord is mercy, and with him is great redemption. 7.  
Praise ye the Lord because he is good: 
CXXXVI.  for his mercy endureth for ever. 1.  
The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, 
CXLV.  and of great mercy. 8.  
The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are over all his works. 9.  
he that hideth his sins, 
Prou●rbes. XXVII.  shall not prosper: but he that confesseth and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy. 13.  
Surely a people shall dwell in Zion, and in jerusalem: 
Isaiah. XXX  thou shalt weep no more: he will certainly haue mercy vpon thee at the voice of thy cry: when he heareth thee, he will answer thee. 19.  
rejoice, O heauens, 
XLIX.  and bee joyful, O earth, burst forth into praise, O mountaines: for God hath comforted his people, and will haue mercy vpon his afflicted. 13.  

LV.  Let the wicked forsake his ways, and the unrighteous his own imaginations,& return unto the Lord, and he will haue mercy vpon him: and to our God, for he is very ready to forgive. 7.  

jeremiah. III.  go and cry these words toward the North,& say, thou disobedient Israel, return saith the Lord, and I will not let my wrath fall vpon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord,& I will not alway keep mine anger. 12  

XXXI.  I haue loved thee with an everlasting love, therfore with mercy I haue drawn thee. 3.  

Hosea. II.  I will sow her unto me in the earth, and I will haue mercy vpon her that was not pitied, & I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people, and they shall say, Thou art my God. 23.  
Rent your heart and not your clothes: 
Ioel. II.  and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, 
jonah. 4 2.  and repenteth him of the evil. 13.  
Who is a God like unto thee that taketh away iniquity, 
Micah. VII.  and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his wrath for ever, because mercy pleaseth him. 18.  
Bee ye therefore merciful, 
Luke. VI.  as your Father also is merciful. 36.  
God hath shut up all in unbelief, 
romans. XI.  that he might haue mercy on all. 32.  

Ephesians. II.  God which is rich in mercy, through his great love wherewith he loved us, 4.  
even when we were dead by sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saved. 5.  

james. II.  There shall bee iudgement merciless to him that sheweth no mercy, and mercy rejoiceth against iudgment. 13.  

V.  The Lord is very pitiful and merciful. 11.   

Of Death.  

II. Samuel. XIIII.  WE must needs die, and wee are as water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again: neither doth God spare any person, yet doth he appoint means, not to cast out from him, him that is expelled. 14.  
What man liveth, 
psalms. LXXX. X.  and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave. 48.  
precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints. 
CXVI.  15.  
A good name is better then a good ointment, 
Ecclesi. VII.  and the day of death, then the day that one is born. 3.  
he will destroy death for ever and the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces, 
Isaiah. XXV  and the rebuk of his people will he take away out of all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. 8.  
weep not for the dead, 
jeremiah. XXII.  and bee not moved for them, but weep for him that goeth out: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. 10.  

Ezekiel. XXIIII.  Cease from sighing: make no mourning for the dead; and bind the tyre of thine head vpon thee, and put on thy shoes vpon thy feet, and cover not thy lips. 17.  

Hosea. XIII.  I will redeem them from the power of the grave: I will deliver them from death: O death, I will bee thy death: O grave, I will be thy destruction. 14  

John. VIII.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, if a man keep my word, he shall never see death. 51.  

XI.  I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. 25.  
And whosoever liveth,& believeth in me, shal never die. 26  

XII.  Except the wheat corn fall into the ground& die, it bideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 24.  
If when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his son, 
romans. V.  much more being reconciled, wee shall bee saved by his life. 10.  
For if by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more shal they which receive the abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through one, that is Iesus Christ. 17.  
If wee bee grafted with him to the similitude of his death, 
VI.  even so shall we be to the similitude of his resurrection. 5.  
If the Spirit of him that raised up Iesus from the dead, 
VIII.  dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies, because that his Spirit dwelleth in you. 11.  

XIIII.  Whether wee live, wee live unto the Lord, or whether wee die, wee die unto the Lord: whether wee live therefore, or die, we are the Lords. 8.  
For Christ therefore dyed, and rose again, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the quick. 9.  

I. Corinth. XV.  That which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die. 36.  
This corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortal must put on immortality. 53.  
So when this corruptible, hath put on incorruption, and this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall bee brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up into victory. 54.  
O Death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 55.  
We know that if our earthly house of this Tabernacle be destroyed, 
II. Corinth. V.  we haue a building given of God, that is an house not made with hands, but eternal in the heauens. 1.  
Awake thou that sleepest, 
Ephesians. V.  and stand up from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 14.  
ye are dead, 
Colossians. III.  and your life is hide with Christ in God. 3.  
Be partaker of the afflictions of the gospel, 
II. Timoth. I.  according to the power of God. 8.  
Who hath saved us and called us, with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us through Christ Iesus before the world was. 9.  
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our saviour Iesus Christ, who hath abolilished death, and hath brought life and immortality unto light through the Gospel. 10.  

II.  If we be dead with him, wee also shall live with him. 11.  

Hebrewes. II.  We see Iesus crwoned with glory and honour, which was made a little inferior to the Angels, through the suffering of death, that by Gods grace he might taste death for all men. 9.  
For as much then as the children were partakers of flesh& blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, that he might destroy through death, him that had the power of death, that is the devill. 14.  
And that he might deliver all them, which for fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage. 15.  
For this cause is He the mediator of the new Testament, 
IX.  that through death which was for the redemption of the transgressions that were in the former Testament they which were called, might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 15.  
It is appointed unto men that they shall once die, and after that cometh iudgment. 27.  
fear not, 
revelation. I.  I am the first and the last. 17.  
And am alive, but I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen: and I haue the keys of hell and death. 18.  
He that overcommeth, 
II.  shall not be hurt of the second death. 11.  

XIIII.  Then I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, writ, Blessed are the dead which hereafter die in the Lord. even so saith the Spirit: for they rest from their labours,& their works follow them. 13.  

XX.  Blessed and holy is he, that hath part in the first resurrection: for on such the second death hath no power: but they shall be the Priests of God, and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand year. 6.   

Of Christs second coming to Iudgment.  

matthew. XIII.  THe son of man shall sand forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend,& them which do iniquity. 41.  
The Angels shall go forth, and sever the bad from among the just. 49.  
The son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his Angels, 
XVI.  and then shall he give to every man according to his deeds. 27.  
For as the lightning cometh out of the East, 
XXIIII.  and shineth into the West, so shall also the coming of the son of man be. 27.  
And immediately after the tribulations of those dayes, shall the sun bee darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 29.  
And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven: and then shall all the kindreds of the earth mourn,& they shall see the son of man come in the clouds of heaven with power& great glory. 30.  
And he shall sand his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect, from the four winds, and from the one end of the heaven to the other. 31.  

XXV.  When the son of man cometh in his glory, and all the holy Angels with him, then shall he sit vpon the throne of his glory. 31.  
And before him shall be gathered all nations, and he shall separate them one from an other, as a shepherd separateth the sheep from the goates. 32.  
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand,& the goates on the left hand. 33.  

acts. I.  And while they looked steadfastly towards heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel. 10.  
Which also said, ye men of galilee, why stand ye gazing into heaven? This Iesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as ye haue seen him go into heaven. 11.  
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, 
I. Thessalo. IIII.  and with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. 16.  
Then shall we which live and remain, bee caught up with thē also in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:& so shall we ever be with the Lord. 17.  
Christ was once offeted to take away the sins of many, 
Hebrewes. IX. & unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. 28.   

Of the Resurrection of the body.  

Exodus. III.  I Am the God of thy Father, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob. 6.  

job. XIIII.  If a man die, shall he live again? all the dayes of mine appointed time will I wait, till my changing shall come. 14.  
Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: thou lovest the work of thine own hands. 15.  

XIX.  I am sure that my redeemer liveth, and he shall stand the last on the earth. 25.  
And though after my skin, worms destroy this body, yet shall I see God in my flesh. 26.  
Whom I myself shall see, and mine eyes shall behold, and none other for me. 27.  
Thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave: 
psalms. XVI.  neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. 10.  
Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is the fullness of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. 11.  
God shall deliver my soul from the power of the grave: 
XLIX.  for he will receive me. 15. 
Daniel. XII.   
At that time thy people shall bee delivered, every one that shall bee found written in the book. 1.  
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shane and perpetual contempt. 2.  
But go thou thy way till the end bee, for thou shalt rest, and stand up in thy lot at the end of the dayes. 13.  

mark. XII.  As touching the dead, that they shall rise again, haue ye not red in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iaakob. 20.  
he is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. 27.  

John. V.  The hour shall come in the which all that are in their graues shall hear his voice. 28  
And they shall come forth that haue done good, unto the resurrection of life: but they that haue done evil, unto the resurrection of condemnation. 29.  
This is the Fathers will which hath sent me, 
VI.  that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 39.  
And this is the will of him that hath sent me, that every man which seeth the son,& believeth in him, should haue everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 40.  
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him:& I will raise him up at the last day. 44.  
whosoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day, 54.  
God hath also raised up the Lord, 
I. Corinth. VI. & shall raise us up by his power. 14.  

XV.  Now is Christ risen from the dead, and was made the first fruits of them that slept. 20.  
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 21.  
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ, shall all bee made alive. 22.  
The body is sown in corruption, and is raised in incorruption. 42.  
It is sown in dishonour, and is raised in glory, it is sown in weakness, and is raised in power. 43.  
It is sown a natural body,& is raised a spiritual body. 44.  
As we haue born the image of the earthly, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly. 49.  
For the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shall be raised up incorruptible. 52.  
We must all appear before the iudgment seat of Christ, 
II. Corinth. V.  that every man may receive the things which are done in his body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or evil. 10.  
When Christ which is our life, shall appear, 
Colossians. III.  then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 4  
I would not bretheren haue you ignorant concerning them which are a sleep, 
I. Thessalo. IIII.  that ye sorrow not, even as other which haue no hope. 13.  
For if wee beleeue that Iesus is dead, and is risen, even so them which sleep in Iesus, will God bring with him. 14.  
For this say we unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which live& ate remaining in the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent thē which sleep. 15  
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shoute, and with the voice of the archangel, and with the Trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. 16.   

Of Glorification. in the life to come.  

Iudges. V.  THey that love him, shal be as the sun when he riseth in his might. 31.  

Daniel. XII.  They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that turn many to righteousness, shal shine as the stars for ever& ever. 3  

matthew. XIII.  Then shal the just men shine as the Sun in the kingdom of their Father. 43.  
They which shalbe counted worthy to enjoy that world, 
Luke. XX. & the resurrection from the dead, neither mary wives, neither are married. 35.  
For they can die no more, for as much as they are equal unto the Angels, and are the Sons of God, since they are the children of the resurrection. 36  
I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory which shalbee shewed unto vs. 18. 
romans. VIII.   
The things which eye hath not seen, 
I. Corinth. II.  neither ear hath heard, neither came it into mans heart, are, which God hath prepared for them that love him. 9  
Now we see through a glass darkly: 
XIII.  but then shall we see face to face. Now I know in part: but then shall I know, even as I am known. 12.  

II. Corinth. IIII.  For our light affliction which is but for a moment, causeth unto us a far more excellent and an eternal weight of glory. 17.  
While we look not on the things that are seen, but on the things which are not seen. 18.  

Philippians. III.  Our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the saviour, even the Lord Iesus Christ, 20.  
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working, whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 21.  

I. John. III.  Dearly beloved, now are we the sons of God, but yet it doth not appear what we shal be: and we know that when he shall appear, wee shall be like him: for we shall see him as he is. 2.  
These are they which came out of great tribulation, 
revelation. VII.  and haue washed their long robes, and haue made their long robes white, in the blood of the lamb. 14.  
Therfore are they in the presence of the throne of God,& serve him day and night in his temple,& he that sitteth on the throne will dwell among thē. 15  
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, neither any heat. 16.  
For the lamb which is in the midst of the throne, shall govern them,& shall led thē unto the lively fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. 17.  

XXII.  There shal be no more curse, but the throne of God, and of the lamb shall bee in it, and his seruants shall serve him. 3.  
And they shall see his face, and his name shall bee in their foreheads. 4.  
And there shall be no night there, and they need no candle, neither light of the sun, for the LORD GOD giveth them light,& they shall reign for evermore. 5.   

That God is true and faithful of his promise.  

Numbers. XXIII.  GOd is not as man, that he should lie, neither as the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? and hath he spoken and shall he not accomplish it? 19.  
The Lord thy God, 
Deuterono. VII.  he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant& mercy unto them that love him& keep his commandements, even to a thousand generations. 9.  
Perfect is the work of the mighty God: 
XXXII.  for all his ways are iudgment. God is true and without wickedness, just and righteous is he. 4.  
There failed nothing of all the good things which the Lord had said unto the house of Israel, but all came to pass. 45. 
Ioshua. XXI   
For indeed the strength of Israel will not lye nor repent: 
I. Sam. XV.  for he is not as man that he should repent. 29.  

job. XXXIIII.  God forbid that wickedness should be in God, and iniquity in the Almighty. 10.  
certainly God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert iudgement. 12.  

psalms. XXV.  All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto all such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 10.  

Isaiah. XLIX.  Thus saith the Lord the redeemer of Israell, and his holy one, to him that is despised in soul, to a nation that is abhorred, to a seruant of rulers, Kings shall see, and arise, and Princes shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and the holy one of Israell which hath chosen thee. 7.  

jeremiah. X.  The Lord is the God of truth. 10.  
The Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doth. 14. 
Daniel. IX.   
he that hath received his testimony, 
John. III.  hath sealed that God is true. 33.  
I haue many things to say and to judge of you: 
VIII.  but he that sent me is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speak I to the world. 26.  
I am the way, and the truth, 
XIIII.  and the life. 6.  
Let God be true, 
romans. III.  and every man a liar. 4.  
God is faithful, 
I. Corinth. I.  by whom ye are called unto the fellowship of his son Iesus Christ our Lord. 9. 
II. Thessalo. III.   
All men haue not faith. 2. But the Lord is faithful which will stablish you and keep you from evil. 3.  

II. Timo. II.  If we beleeue not, yet abideth he faithful: he cannot deny himself. 13.  

Hebrewes. VI.  God willing more abundantly to show unto the heires of promise, the stableness of his coumsel, bound himself by an oath. 17  
That by two immutable things, wherein it is unpossible that God should lie, we might haue strong consolation, which haue our refuge to hold fast the hope that is set before vs. 18.  

X.  Let us keep the profession of our hope, without wavering,( for he is faithful that promised) 23  

I. John. I.  If we aclowledge our sins, he is faithful& just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 9.  

revelation. III.  These things saith Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creatures of God. 14.  
Great and marvelous are thy works,

XX.  The Sodomites inuironing Lots house, who had that night received two Angels therein: are smitten with blindness. 11.
