Blessed be God , even the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ , the Father of mercies , and the God of all comfort ; who comforteth us in all our tribulation , that wee may bee able to comfort them which are in any troubles by the comfort wherewith we our selves are comforted of God . For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us , so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ . And whether wee be afflicted , it is for your consolation , & salvation , which is effectuall in enduring of the same sufferings , which we also suffered : or whether wee bee comforted , it is for your consolation and salvation . And our hope of you is stedfast ; knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings , so also you shall be of the consolation . For we would not , Brethren , have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia , that we were pressed out of measure above strength , in so much that wee despaired even of life . But we had the sentence of death in our selves , that we should not trust in our selves but in God which raiseth the dead : who delivered us from so great a death , and doth deliver ; in whom we trust , that he will yet deliver us : you also helping together by Prayer for us , that for the gift bestowed upon us , by the meanes of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf . Printed Anno. 1641. TO THE RIGHT VVORShipfull his very Noble and highly Honoured good Friend , SIR WILLIAM BALFORE Knight , Lievtenant of the Tower of LONDON .

O fortunatus cui Con-captivus Iesus , Laetisicans radiis tristissima Claustra supernis ; Vincula non illum , Tormenta gravamina moestum Efficiunt , animum retinentem utcunque sorenum . Christ every where accompanies good Men ; He goes with them into the Prisons Den ; The Towers , thickest Walls broad ditches , Gates , Of Iron , Barracadoes , Flames and Graces Doth boldly passe through ; proves Companion , Friend , solace , all things of himselfe alone ; Vnto close Prisoners and fills plenteously The thirsty soules of his , with heavenly Delights . * Hee entered in the dores fast shut To his Disciples , them to comfort ; but With godly prisoners he 's a constant guesse Resides ; O happic he who doth possesse Christ for his Fellow-prisoner , who doth gladde With heavenly Sunbeames , Goales that are most sad , Bonds , Torments , Brisons , make not him sad ; he Retaines a quiet mind how ere things be . 4. Nullat o●us vinctus Christi virtute solutus ; Permanet immunis , clusus vel Carcore Vinclis . Liber ubique , pius , placidus , benedictus , amoenus , Indomitus ; tacitum circumfert pectore Coelum : Tristia Laetificans , Moestissima cuncta serenans ; Vincula disentiens , arctissima claustra recludens . He is not bound whom CHRIST hath made free ; he Though shut close Prisoner , chaind , remains still free , A godly Man's at large in every place , Still cheerefull , well content , in blessed case , Vnconquer'd ; he a secret Heaven still beares About within his brest , which sad things cheares , Dispells his blackest cloudes of griefe , off shakes His chaines ; and closest prisons open makes . 5.

Wounds ? why the torments , Crosses or the Ires Of raging Tyrants ? sith the sharpest things We undergoe for Christ , most sweetnes brings . who hath prepar'd and purchased for him Who * overcomes , a glorious Diadem By the Blood of his Crosse . Let then the Crue Of stage Frequenters celebrate , and view Playes , Dances , Pastimes , Players , sports in base And filthy Theaters , where growes no grace . Chaines , Mutilations , Pillories , Brandes bring , To godly Christians farre more joyes , heaping Most large rewards upon them . Players , Playes , Jests , Dancing , Maskes , Songs , generate alwayes But deadly Laughters , feigned shoutes ; * true griefe , Sighes , lasting gripes of Conscience , past reliefe . Sweet worldly pleasures still in * sadnesse cease ; When * bitterest sufferings bring Crownes , safety , peace . 7.

Nil corpus patitur in Ergastulo , si Animus sit in Coelo . The body suffers nought in prison , when The mind it selfe is lodged in Heaven . 13. Quid Coelum sine Deo , nisi Barathrum ? Quid Barathum cum Deo nisi Coelum ? What 's Heav'n without God but a very Hell ? What 's Hell but a Heav'n , if God once there dwell ? 14. Nullibi inearteratur , qui ubique in Christo liberatur : Nunquam dejicitur , qui semper à Jehova sustentatur .

Nusquam solus qui ubique cum Deo ; Nunquam Miser qui semper cum Christo , He never is alone , who every where Hath God himselfe , him company to beare , He never can be miserable , who Is alwayes with Christ , who doth with him goe . 16.

Where God is present , there no Prison is , But a sweet Paradise of Joy and blisse ; No Bridewell , but a Palace ; no darke Cell , But a bright Heaven , where all comforts dwell . 17.

A prison tries Mens friends , detects their Foes . Shuts out the world , God to men doth inclose ; Nourisheth vertues , Lusts extinguisheth ; Temperance teacheth , Riot restraineth , Quite kills the flesh , but makes the Man holy ; Ingenders Grace , * and treasures up glory . 18 Turris Christianos fideles fictè incarcerat , verè liberat , Vnicum Dulcissimum Christi lugum , [ cui subjugari est perfectè manumitti ] Imponendo : multiplicia gravissimaque Carnis , peccati , Mundi , Diaboli vincula [ quibus ill● queari , est certissimè captivari , ) discutiendo . The Tower true faithfull Christians feinedly Imprisons , but them sets free verily , By putting on them Christs sweet yoake onely , To which to be subjected , is truely To be enfranchised ; by shaking off The manifold , and most heavy chaines of The flesh , sinne , World , Di'le ; in which for to lye Insnarde , is to be captiv'd certainely . 19.

The Tower is to most , a Spectacle ; To many its a house , wherein they dwell ; To some a refuge ; Others , a lodging ; A Royall Pallace , it is to the King ; Vnto the Kingdome it 's a Treasury , Armory , Bulwarke , Mint : an Oratory To Godly prisoners ; but a purgatory To popish ; to close ones , a Monast'ry ; To guiltlesse ones , it 's an Inne ; to guilty A Bridewell ; to learn'd ones , it 's a study ; To idle ones a Dormitory ; to Drunkards , a tipling-house them to undoe ; To Traytors it 's a shambles , where their head And Quarters hang , when they are but chered . On his Exile into Iersy Isle . Why should this Exile me grieve , discontent , Si●h this whole World 's a place of Banishment ? And men as truely Exiles are at home , As in the strangest Clime to which they come ? Are not God , Christ , Grace , Heav'n to us as nigh In forraigne Parts , as in our own Country ? Yea ; and oft times more neare : this true to be By * Abraham , Iacob , Ioseph , all may see , I will not then flye , feare my Banishment . But in it joy , and take most sweet content , Sith God will me protect , * restore againe , Or else translate to Heav'n , with him to reigne , Mine onely Proper * Country , wherein I Shall live a Free-man for eternity , In spite of my Arch-fees ; whom I shall see . Exild , * imprison'd , and my selfe set free . 20.

God is a Tower by protecting all His Saints from Ills , in Ills which them befall ; Against , amidst ill men in every place , Most safely , strongly out of his meere grace ; By comforting them in adversity Alwayes , most sweetly , most abundantly : By fr●eing them from evills speedily , In the best time , and that most potently : No doubt he is the happiest man alive , Who this worlds Exile , and Christs deare Captive , Is during life adjudg'd perpetually In this most safe , sweet , best great'st Tower to lye . He is truely kept safely , who both by And in God is preserv'd continually : He cannot straitned be , who walkes freely ( Whiles prisoner ) in Gods vast Infinity . O this opinion WILLIAM PRYNNE was the Third day of March , six hundred thirty three . Sentences of Scripture there likewise written . PSAL. 69. 33. The Lord heareth the poore , and despiseth not his prisoners . PSAL. 146. 7 , 8. The Lord looseth the prisoners ; the Lord raiseth those that are bowed downe . PHIL. 4. 11 , 12 , 13. I have learned in whatsoever state I am , therewith to bee content , I know both how to be abased , and I know how to abound : every where , and in all things I am instructed , both to bee full , and to bee hungry ; both to abound , and to suffer need : I can doe all things through Christ , which strengthneth mee . PSAL. 34. 17. 19. 22. The righteous cry , and the Lord heareth , and delivereth them out of all their troubles . Many are the afflictions of the righteous , but the Lord delivereth him out of them all ; the Lord redeemeth the soule of his Servants , and none of them that trust in him , shall be desolate . PSAL. 37. 23 , 24. 37 , 38 , 39 , 40. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord , and hee delighteth in his way : Though hee fall , hee shall not be utterly cast downe , for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand : Marke the perfect man , and behold the upright : For the end of that man is peace . But the transgressours shall bee destroyed together , the end of the wicked shall bee cut off : But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord , hee is their strength in the time of trouble . And the Lord shall help them and deliver them : hee shall deliver them from the wicked , and save them , because they trust in him . PSAL. 71. 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24. Thy righteousnesse also O God , is very high , who hast done great things , O God who is like to thee ? Thou which hast shewed me great and sore troubles , shalt quicken mee againe , and shalt bring mee up againe from the depthes of the earth . Thou shalt encrease my greatnesse , and comfort me on every side . I will also praise thee , with the Psaltery even thy truth : O my God unto thee will I sing with the Harpe , O thou holy one of Israel : My lips shall greatly rejoyce when I sing unto thee : and my soule which thou hast redeemed : my tongue also shall talke of thy righteousnesse all the day long : for they are confounded , for they are brought unto shame that seeke my hurt . MICAH : 7 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10. A mans enemies are the men of his owne house : Therefore I will looke unto the Lord ; I will waite for the God of my salvation , my God will heare mee : Rejoyce not against me ô mine enemy : when I fall , I shall arise : when I sit in darknesse , the Lord shall bee a light unto mee . I will beare the indignation of the Lord , because I have finned against him , untill hee plead my cause and execute judgement for mee , Hee will bring me forth to the light , and I shall behold his righteousnesse . Then shee that is mine enemy shall see it , and shame shall cover her which said unto mee , where is the Lord thy God ? mine eyes shall behold her , now shall she be troden downe , as the mire of the streets . On his Suffrings on the Pillory . Christ for * mysake , sinnes , and Redemption From Hell and endlesse Torments ; sufferedon The * Crosse , a shamefull , cursed Death , with all Alacrity , joy , promptitude : And shall I not for his sake then most cheerefully Both stand , and suffer on the Pillory , Without all blush , or feare ? since 't is no shame , But * Honour , thus to suffer for Christs name .

The redeemed of the Lord shall returne , and come with singing unto Zion , and everlasting joy shall be upon their head ; they shall obtaine gladnesse and joy ; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away . The CAPTIVE EXILE hastneth , that hee may be loosed , and that he should not dye in the pit , nor that his bread should faile . Feare not , for I am with thee , I will bring thy seed from the East , and gather thee from the West , I will say to , the North , Give up ; and to the South , keep not backe ; bring my sonnes from farre , and my daughters from the ends of the Earth .
