           was
           with
           the
           Angels
           a
           multitude
           of

           How
           many
           are
           there
           of

           but
           when
           it

           When
           we
           have
           what
           we
           looked

           in

           we
           would
           be
           glad
           to
           shelter
           our selves
           under
           the

           which
           afterward
           we

           After
           the

           this
           might
           be
           applyed

           too
           many
           of

           all
           other

           was
           manifest

           I
           remember
           a
           story
           of
           one
           
             Saleucus
             ,
          
           who
           made
           a
           law
           ,
           that
           all
           adulterers
           should
           be
           punished
           with
           the
           losse
           of
           both
           their
           eyes
           :
           on
           a
           time
           it
           came
           to
           passe
           his
           owne
           son
           was
           taken
           in
           the
           same
           fault
           :
           his
           good
           old
           Father
           being
           perplexed
           much
           thereat
           ,
           at
           last
           resolved
           on
           this
           course
           :
           that
           the
           executioner
           should
           pull
           out
           one
           of
           his
           owne
           eyes
           :
           and
           another
           of
           his
           Sonnes
           ;
           that
           so
           both
           iustice
           might
           be
           satisfied
           ,
           and
           mercy
           shewed
           .
           We
           likewise
           were
           in
           danger
           both
           of
           loosing
           this
           life
           ,
           and
           that
           which
           is
           to
           come
           ,
           as
           also
           of
           suffering
           a
           double
           Death
           ,
           temporall
           ,
           and
           eternall
           ,
           but
           God
           hath
           found
           out
           a
           meanes
           for
           our
           delivery
           :
           Christ
           came
           in
           ,
           and
           suffered
           one
           Death
           himselfe
           ,
           to
           free
           us
           from
           the
           other
           Death
           .
           
             Plato
          
           gave
           thankes
           unto
           the
           Gods
           .
           First
           ,
           that
           he
           was
           a
           man
           ,
           and
           not
           a
           Beast
           .
           Secondly
           that
           he
           was
           a
           
             Graetian
             ,
          
           and
           not
           a
           
             Barharian
             .
          
           Thirdly
           that
           he
           was
           not
           one
           of
           the
           common
           rout
           ,
           but
           a
           
             Philosopher
             .
          
           But
           besides
           we
           are
           men
           ,
           we
           are
           Christian
           men
           ,
           who
           live
           in
           peace
           ,
           and
           plenty
           with
           the
           free
           passage
           of

           of
           Iesus
           Christ

           Therefore
           let
           us
           both
           
             Young
             Men

             Men
             and
             Babes
             praise
             the
             name
             of
             the
             Lord

           Assure
           thy self
           of
           one
           thing
           as
           Saint
           
             Augustine
          
           hath

             obmutescet

             .
          
           God
           at
           the
           last
           day
           ,
           will
           say
           to
           such
           an
           one
           ,
           as
           the
           King
           did
           to
           him
           ,
           that
           had
           not
           on
           the
           wedding
           garment
           .
           I
           should
           be
           too
           tedious
           if
           I
           should
           stand
           to
           reckon
           up
           the
           manifold
           mercys
           that

           and
           indeed
           are
           very
           fitting

           sung
           in
           order

           And
           here
           I
           have
           a
           iust

           of
           the
           Seperation

           who
           will
           not
           admit

           for
           that
           (
           as
           they
           say
           )
           is
           cursing
           of
           the
           Spirit
           ,
           but
           why
           then
           should
           we
           have

           the
           eares
           of

           as
           divers
           Psalmes

           I
           remember
           the
           Apostle
           
             Paul
          
           makes
           mention
           of
           three
           graces

           &
           Charity
           ,
           but
           the
           chiefest
           of
           these
           is

           Charity

           for
           in
           Heaven
           we
           shall
           enioy
           both
           that
           we
           did
           beleive
           ,
           and
           hoped
           for
           ;
           but
           love

           the

           of
           these
           is
           Praise

           the
           same
           reason
           ,
           because
           it
           shall
           outlast
           all
           other

           here
           we
           stand

           be
           wiped
           away
           from
           our
           eyes
           ,
           we
           shall
           have
           no
           need
           then
           ,
           of

           onely

           And
           so
           I
           have
