Reader, stay,
and thou shalt know
What he was
that here doth sleepe:
Lodg’d amidst
the stones below,
Stones that oft
are seene to weepe.
Gentile was his
birth and breed,
His carriage gentle,
much contenting:
His word accorded
with his deed,
Sweet his nature,
soone relenting.
From above
he seem’d protected,
Father dead
before his birth,
An Orphane, onely
but neglected,
Yet his branches
spread on earth,
Earth, that must
his bones containe,
Sleeping till Christs
Trumpe shall wake them,
Ioyning them
to soule againe,
And to blisse
eternall take them.
It is not this rude
and little heape of stones,
Can hold the fame,
although’t containes the bones.
Light be the earth,
and hallowed for thy sake,
Resting in peace,
peace that so oft didst make.

Mr. Doctor Ridley,
then Bishop of
London, came and preached before the
Kings Majestie at Westminster. In which
Sermon, he made a fruitfull and godly
Exhortation to the rich, to be mercifull
unto the poore: and also to move such
as were in authority, to travaile by some
charitable way and meanes, to comfort
and relieve them. Wherupon, the Kings
Majestie (being a Prince of such toward
nesse and vertue for his yeeres, as Eng
land before never brought forth, and
being also so well retained and brought
vp in all godly knowledge, as well by
his deare Vncle the late
also by his vertuous and learned School
masters) was so carefull of the good go
vernement of the Realme, and chiefely
to doe and prefer such things as most e
specially touched the honour of Al
mighty God. And understanding, that
a great number of poore people did
swarme in this Realme, and chiefly in
the Citie of London, and that no good
order was taken for them, did suddenly
(and of himselfe) send to the said Bi
shop, as soone as his Sermon was ended,
willing him not to depart, untill that he
had spoken with him. And this that I
now write, was the very report of the
said Bishop Ridley, who (according to
the Kings command) gave his atten
dance. And so soone as the Kings Maje
stie was at leasure he called for him, and
caused him to come unto him in a great
Gallery at Westminster, where (to his
knowledge, and the King likewise told
him so) there was present no more per
sons than they two; and therefore made
him sit downe in one Chayre, and hee
himselfe in another, which (as it see

The Bishop thinking least of that
matter, and being amazed, to heare the
wisedome & earnest zeale of the King,
was (as hee said himselfe) so astonied,
that hee could not well tell what to say.
But, after some pause, said, That hee

the number of the poore there are very
great, and the Citizens also are many
and wise; and hee doubted not but that
they were also both pitifull and merci

other the Worshipfull of the said City.
And that if it would please the Kings
Majesty to direct his gracious Letters
unto the Maior of London, willing him
to call unto him such assistants as hee
should thinke meete, to consult of this
matter, for some order to bee taken
therein; hee doubted not but good

Gamaliel Pye,
A faire plated stone in the Quire▪
under this Stonedoth lye in peace and rest,
Whose service to his Prince and Realm,
well knowne not to be least:
At Bullen, Muttrel, & each place else,
where then the King had warres,
Not any one that serv’d in Campe,
lesse feared wounds and scarres.
In age he liv’d in peace and love,
abhorring worlds inconstancy,
And chosen was eleven times
the Warden of his Company.
The poore, sicke, lame, abroad, at
home, his bounty ever felt,
But chiefly his owne Parishioners,
where threescore yeers he dwelt.
He held disdaine to brawle, or seeke
And with his wife he liv’d
full forty yeeres and two,
He liv’d devout, and dy’d devout,
the chiefest way to Heaven;
The complete date of this his life,
was fourescore yeers and seven.

A loving and a faithfull wife,
with many children blest.
She served God with zeale of truth,
and learn’d to flye from sinne;
And as she learn’d his holy will,
so liv’d and dy’d therein.
A friend to such as vertue sought,
a foe unto no wight;
A helpe to those that feared God,
with all her power and might.
The poore shall oft bewaile her want,
by whom they found reliefe;
VVhose minde with earnest care was bent,
to ease them of their griefe.
Thus happy she, that now is gone
from hence, reward to finde;
Vnhappy yet for such her friends,
as she hath left behinde:
But thrice unhappy for his losse,
that doth her praise rehearse;
A wofull praise unto her Sonne,
who wrote this dolefull Verse.

These Marble Monuments to thee

Thee unto them a faithfull friend

Their Liberties restor’d to them,

Their Publike weale by meanes of thee,

The Riches, Stocke, and beauty brave,

Yet these thy vertues and good deeds,
with us (for ever) rest.

In honour of thy life,

To number thee

A pure regard

A spotlesse Minde,
a Body prone to paine,
A giving Hand,
and an un-vanquisht Heart,
And all these Vertues

And all these Vertues

But Netherlands, Seas,

Can witnesse that these
Honors were thine owne;
Which they reserve,
thy merit to advance:
That Valour should not
perish void of Fame,
Nor Noble Deeds,
but leave a Noble Name.

persons) put in Bonds before the Hono
rable Warden of the Five Ports, and
Sir Thomas Saunders, Knight, Justices
within the Liberty of the Queenes
Verge. After which reveiled and
knowne to the Honourable Earle of A
rundell, Lord Steward of the Queenes
most Honourable Houshold, who cau
sed the Knight Marshall to goe to the
said Lord Maior, requiring the delive
rance of the said prisoner. The Lord
Maior (being sickly) made answer, that
he knew nothing thereof; but desired
him to speake with Master Recorder:
who made answer, that the said impri
sonment was done by the whole Bench
of Aldermen, and he (as one particular
person) could not deliver the prisoner,
untill the next Court day, which could
not be till two dayes after, to the great
charges and hinderance of the said pri
soner.
Whereupon the Lord Steward sent
for Master Cholmeley, he being then Re
corder of London, and commanded him
to deliver the prisoner; or else he would
imprison the Maior of London, and the
said Recorder, and the fattest Alder
man in the Citie, which hee could get
within the Verge: And declared, that
the Queenes Liberties and Franchises
should not bee overcome by the Lord
Maior and Bench of Aldermen, so long
as he was Officer: with many other
words against the Citizens, which were
too long to write. Adding further, that
the Maior did not meddle with Saint
Martins, being within the Citie, and a
parcel of Westminster Deanry; much lesse
should he meddle with the said liberty
of the Friers, bounded out by walls and
gates from the City, being in the Coun
ty of Middlesex, and not within the Ci
tie. And so commanded the Recorder
to send home the prisoner into the liber
ty presently: which was so done accor
dingly: Promising, that if the L. Maior
could declare or shew any good Title,
whereby to breake the Liberty, the
Queenes learned Councell should an
swer him and them therein. And then
the Recorder said, he never heard be
fore that time, that the Lord Steward
did claime the precinct of the said Black
Friers, to be within the liberty of the
Queenes Verge: Out of which Ju
risdiction the Citie of London is exem
pted by the Statute of 32. Hen. 8. Cap.

Maior would bring the said Friers to be
in London; which in all the Friers time
was freely exempted.

the goods of him that was supposed to

said Friers, and an Inventory taken by
the next Justice of Peace within the
Verge, Roger Cholmeley, Knight, by

Garrard and the Recorder of London,
came unto the said Sir Thomas Cheney’s

Cheyney would not permit nor suffer
them so to doe; for that hee had made
stay of the same goods for the Queene

the said partie had slaine the man dead.

your kinde Letter; according
whereunto, these are to satisfie your
minde; That I was dwelling in the
Blacke Friers foure or five yeeres, and
came thither from Oxford, where I had
beene a Student of Divinity. I was al
so Curate of the Parish within the
Blacke Friers, called Saint Agnes. Wee
had within us a Porter, who did shut
all the Gates every night; at nine of the
clocke in the Winter, and at ten of the
clocke in the Summer. No Sheriffe,
Bailiffe or Constable, nor yet the Maior
of London, tooke interest there at any
time, nor forreine porters had to doe
within our Priviledge: And the Friers
did pave both within the Turn-gate and
without, unto Saint Andrews Church,
downe by the great Garden wall: And
without the Turne-gate there was a
Cage, pulled downe by my time, which
was set up by the Lord Maior of London.
The inhabitants within the Friers never
watched, neither the Constable of Saint
Martins Parish warned any watch
there, neither came within the Gates,
after the houre appointed at any time.
The Sheriffes of London had no Felons
goods there, neither did arrest any per

mall EVENSONG, happening

26. day of October.
1623.
THere were upon that day, being
dedicated to the service of God,
assembled together in the Black
Friers neere the French Embassadours
house in ordinary, above three hundred
persons of sundry Nations, as English,
Scottish, Welch, and Irish, to heare a
Sermon, & after that to celebrate Even
song, according to the Rites and Cere
monies of the Romish Church. Of
which number it is certainly knowne
and confidently reported, that about
the number of threescore of them, had
that morning both confessed them
selves, and received the Sacrament, ac
cording to the order of the Romish
Church. Hee that was to supply that
exercise for the present, was Father
Drury, a Iesuite by profession, and by
birth a Gentleman, being extracted
out of the house of the Norfolcian Dru
ries, and sonne unto Doctor Drury, late
professor of the Civill Law, and practi
ser thereof in the Court of the Arches
here in London. Hee was by those of the
Romish religion reputed to bee a man
of great learning, as having studied
many yeeres beyond the Sea, with
much approbation and allowance of
his Superiours. And although he were
opposite in point of faith and beliefe
unto the Religion now professed in Eng
land, yet was he held by the generality
of our Nation, both Protestants and
Papists, who knew him, and could
make a true estimate of his vertues
and vices by the outward circumstance
and appearance of his actions, to bee a
man of a good moralllife, and of a plau
sible and laudable conversation. So that
in respect of these indowments, there
could nothing have been desired more
by us of the Reformed Church, than
that hee had not beene a Papist, but a
member of our Church, Religion, and
Profession. All the day before, which
was the last that ever his eyes beheld,
he was observed to be wondrous sad and
pensive, contrary unto his wonted hu
mour and disposition, hee being a man
of a free, merry and affable conversati
on, as though that some spirit of predi
ction had foretold him of that fatall
disaster, which was at hand. Thus wee
reade of Caesar, that hee was possessed
with a strange and unwonted sadnesse
that morning when hee entred into the
Senate house, where he was stabbed to
death by the Senators. And so was that
Assassine Cassius much perplexed and
troubled in minde before that mortall
and bloudy battell of Pharsalia. By
meanes of which affection, Father Dru
rie finding an indisposition in himselfe,
hee would (if with his reputation hee
could) have made a retraction of his
promise, and a demurre of the intended
exercise. But being prest on by divers
of his friends, who told him that the
Audience was great, and their expecta

of his friends, who told him that the

resolve to goe forward with the enter

The place wherein this Congregati
on was assembled, was not the French
Ambassadours Chappell, according as
the first report went currant; for that
was reserved for the use of himselfe and
his family, to celebrate their Even-song
after their owne manner and custome,
but it was a Chamber neere unto the
gate, some three stories high, being
some threescore foot long, and twenty
foot broad, or thereabouts. The wals
were not made of Lome, composed of
Laths and Rafters, and covered over
with Clay and Lime, as some at first
reported: but were of Brick and Stone,
which are held by all Architects to bee
the strongest and the surest building.
But howsoever, a Gentlewoman of a
noble house, and of a quicke and judici
ous spirit, who was then present, and
had taken a curious view of the pressing
multitude of the people, which was at
length their owne oppression, and of
the unfitnesse and uncapacity of the
place besides, told him, That shee
thought it would prove an action full
of danger, if he should offer to preach
in that place respectively in respect of
the premises. But he being led on by a
divine and fatall necessity, which blinds
the judgement of the wise men of this
world, he told her that he did meane
as then to preach, and to goe forward
with the greatest expedition he could,
with his intended Sermon. For the ac
complishment of which designe, the
Father predicant being clad in those
robes and ornaments which are used by
those of his Order, being a Iesuit, ha
ving a Surplice girt about his middle
with a linnen girdle, a red Cap with a
white one underneath, turned up about
the brimmes of his Cap, and his other
accoutrements belonging, which the
Ignatian Orders have imposed upon
them: and being placed in a Chaire a
bout the middest of the roome, which
Chaire was raised up something higher
than the ordinary levell of the floore:
hee crossing himselfe with the signe of
the Crosse, and having ended some pri
vate prayers, accommodated himselfe
to his Text, between three and foure of
the clocke in the afternoone of the fore
said Sunday. The words of the Text
were part of the Gospel appointed for
the present day, according to the order
and instruction of the Church of Rome,
being their fifth of November, which
account is thought to bee the truest by
the Romane Catholikes, and begins
ten dayes before that of England. The
Gospel was written in the eighteenth
Chapter of St. Matthewes Gospel, and
delivered unto us by the holy Spirit, in
these words: Therefore is the Kingdome
of Heaven likened unto a certaine man that
was a King, which would take account of
his servants. And when hee had begun to
reckon, one was brought unto him which
ought him ten thousand Talents. But for
asmuch as hee was not able to pay, his Lord
commanded him to be sold, and his wife and
children, and all that he had, and payment
to be made. The servant fell downe and be
sought him, saying: Sir, have patience with
mee and I will pay thee all. Then had the
Lord pity of that servant, and loosed him,
and forgave him the debt. So the same ser
vant went out, and found one of his fel
lowes which ought him an hundred pence:
And he laid hands on him, and tooke him
by the throat, saying: Pay that thou owest.
And his fellow fell downe and besought him,
saying: Have patience with mee and I will
pay thee all. And he would not, but he went
out and cast him into prison, till hee should
pay the debt. So when his fellowes went
and saw what was done, they were very
sorry, and came and told their Master all
that happened. Then his Lord called him
and sayd unto him: O thou ungracious ser
vant, I forgave thee all that debt thou desi
redst mee, shouldest not thou also have had
compassion on thy fellow, even as I had pity
on thee, &c?

But having proceeded thus farre, loe
what a sudden and unexpected accident
fell out. The Sermon inclining to
wards the middest, and the day decli
ning towards an end, it being almost
foure of the clocke in the afternoone,
the multitude and crowde of the assem
bly breaking downe with their over
bearing weight the beames and side
timbers wherewith this roome was sup
ported, they fell downe into the next
Chamber, the floore whereof being
broken downe also with the descending
weight of them and the ruines, they fell
at last upon the lowest Chamber of the
edifice, where some of them perished,
some were hurted and maymed, other
some were free from all hurt and dan
ger except of that which the present
fright and terror did impose upon them,
and those were they especially who fell
not at all, but remained in one angle or
corner of the Chamber, which was free
from falling. Which persons beeing
thought to be betweene twenty and
thirty in number, as I heard by one,
who was one of them, perplexed and
frighted thus as they were, by conside
ration of that most fearefull danger,
whereinto they had seene their fellowes
and brethren to fall, who did lift up
their hands for helpe, and beat their
breasts for life, whereof they then were
spectators; and being doubtfull that
they should be Actors with them pre
sently in that Scene of their calamity;
the place being weake, tottering and un
assured, for this cause feare and necessity
giving motion and strength unto their
armes, they opened with their Knives a
Lome wall, which parted that roome
and a Chamber belonging to the Am

what a sudden and unexpected accident
fell out. The Sermon inclining to
wards the middest, and the day decli
ning towards an end, it being almost
foure of the clocke in the afternoone,
the multitude and crowde of the assem
bly breaking downe with their over
bearing weight the beames and side
timbers wherewith this roome was sup
ported, they fell downe into the next
Chamber, the floore whereof being
broken downe also with the descending
weight of them and the ruines, they fell
at last upon the lowest Chamber of the
edifice, where some of them perished,
some were hurted and maymed, other
some were free from all hurt and dan
ger except of that which the present
fright and terror did impose upon them,
and those were they especially who fell
not at all, but remained in one angle or
corner of the Chamber, which was free
from falling. Which persons beeing
thought to be betweene twenty and
thirty in number, as I heard by one,
who was one of them, perplexed and
frighted thus as they were, by conside
ration of that most fearefull danger,
whereinto they had seene their fellowes
and brethren to fall, who did lift up
their hands for helpe, and beat their
breasts for life, whereof they then were
spectators; and being doubtfull that
they should be Actors with them pre
sently in that Scene of their calamity;
the place being weake, tottering and un
assured, for this cause feare and necessity
giving
giving motion and strength unto their
armes, they opened with their Knives a
Lome wall, which parted that roome
and a Chamber belonging to the Am
bassadours Lodging. By which meanes,
after much difficulty and labour, they
got their passage, and live as yet to glo
rifie God for their deliverance.
Presently upon the report of the fall
and cry, divers persons of all sorts re
sorted unto the place, some out of cha
rity, to helpe those that were thus di
stressed; for which cause they brought
Spades, Pickaxes, and other instru
ments fit for that purpose; others out of
meere curiosity came thither, to see this
wonderfull event, and this object so full
of admiration. Where, after the guards
were set upon all the Advenues and pas
sages leading into the Blacke Friers, and
from thence into the Ambassadours
house, by the direction and command of
Sergeant Finch, Recorder of the Citie,
who was exceeding carefull that my
Lord Ambassadour and his servants
should not suffer any detriment in their
goods or persons, being jealous in this
point of the Kings, his owne, and the Ci
ties honour: and matters being thus dis
posed for the safety and assurance of the
strangers, after they had broken downe
a wall, and opened some doores, they
fell to worke upon the ruines it selfe,
with all possible diligence and dexte
rity: where at the opening of every
boord, planke, and peece of Timber,
there were objects which presented
themselves full of horrour and confu
sion.

Here you might have seene a man
shaking of his legges, and striving for
life: There you might have seene ano

crying for helpe: Here you might have
seene one like some spectre, thrusting
out his head out of the grave: There
you might have seene his fellow halfe
dead and halfe living, intomb’d in that
grave which he was not long to keepe.
Here you might have seene the living
thus pressed, as they were mourning for
the dead; and there the dead senselesse,
as they were imbracing of the living. So
that since the Sicilian Vespers, there was
never an Evensong more dolorous vnto
the French, nor more lamentable unto
the Scots and English. The Count of Til

great dignity and authority for many

he was fortunate in this, that not one of
his retinue perished, was much agree

whom the Spanish Delegates did con

griefe, which fellow-feeling had made
their owne.

Moreover, it was reported by one who
had good intelligence in Elie house, that
Don Carlos Colom’s Steward should say,
that his Master would not for a million
of gold, this accident should have falne

like enough to be beleeved of those, who
know how strangely zealous this Nati

they are besides of their owne, their
Kings, and of their Countries honour.

When the bodies were drawn forth
of those heapes of earth and timber,
which taske of charity they were accom
plishing all that night, and part of the
next day following, they were found to
be 95. persons, or therabout, of divers cō
ditions, besides those who were bruised,
maim’d or wounded. Amongst whom
were divers persons of worth and quali

Preacher; Father Redyate, in whose lod

descended of the Family of the Treshams,
and sister unto my La. Morley, & my La.
Sturton, and many moe besides of that

assembled at their accustomed devoti

of a Chaire which fell hollow upon her,

There was also a Minister, whose
name I cannot learne, and therefore al
though he survives this misfortune, it
must be buried as yet in silence, who be
ing present at the Sermon, as being in
vited by some Romish Catholike to that
exercise; who also gave him the con
duct unto the place; hee fell with the
rest of the multitude assembled there to
gether; and being covered with the
rubbish, boords, and other timbers,
which fell upon him from the higher
roomes, and prest with the weight of
divers persons besides, whereof some
were dead, and some were living: be
ing in this agonie, which his present
paine, and the feare of death, in his own
judgement even hanging over his head,
did impose (and that not without just
cause) upon him; being (I say) thus di
stressed, and striving under those heaps
& ruines for life, the hope whereof, in re
spect of the premised impediments, had
almost forsaken him; one of the French
Ambassadours Gentlemen, hearing the
noise and report of this great and dismal
fall, suddenly (as hee could) opened a
doore, which gave entrance into that
chamber, upon the floore whereof, the
heapes and ruines, together with the
oppressed multitude, as then lay. Who
perceiving light by the doore then o
pened, the place before being covered
over with darknesse, he strove with all
the strength and agilicy he could, which
in him was not meane, he being a man
of a very strong and able body, and at
last, after the losse of his cloke and ren
ting of his clothes, hee recovered him
selfe, without any further hurt. Which
the Gentleman perceiving, came and
demanded of him, whether or no hee
were hurt, or that he stood in need of a
ny thing that might doe him service, or
procure him comfort. But he being al
most exanimated and astonisht, could
not at first apprehend those courteous
proffers which were tendred unto him
by this stranger, who presently went
and brought him into a Chamber;
where after he had sate a while, and re
freshed himselfe with wine, which was
brought unto him; and having thus re
covered his strength and spirits, hee re
turned to the foresaid place againe, and
used his best endevours for the releeving
of others from that calamity, whereof
but even now he was a fellow-sufferer.
His man who attended on him, was re

something bruised and hurt in the

Moreover, there was a yong girle,
about the age of ten yeeres, as is suppo
sed, (when this Minister, out of his cha
ritable and commiserating disposition,
was labouring for the safety and preser
vation of them, whose necessities did
then require it) came crying unto him,
and said, O my Mother, O my Sister,
which are downe under the timber and
rubbish. But he wisht her to be patient
for a time, and by Gods grace they
should get forth quickly. Vpon which
speech the child replyed presently, that
howsoever this accident would prove a
great scandall to their Religion. A
speech which is worth admiration in all
men, as this Relator did truely admire
it, that a childe of so tender yeeres,
wherein amongst the most towardliest,
there is scarce ability to discerne be
tweene good and evill, should next un
to that griefe, which the danger of her
mother and sister did inflict upon her,
lament for nothing more than for the
scandall which their cause was like to
suffer by the disaster.

The day following, which was Mun

there was great care had for viewing
the place, and for buriall of the dead.
For this cause the Recorder and She
riffes, about one of the clocke in the af

to prevent the throng and resort of the
people, which was exceeding great and

their displeasure and punishment, that

The Iurie having thus brought in their
verdict, they disposed presently for the
buriall of the dead, some of whom were
carried by their friends unto Churches,
farre remote, there to receive their due
obsequies; others were buried in the
same place, & those were of the meanest
ranke, whereof some twenty, or therea
bout, were laid in one Sepulcher, having
a common grave, as they had a common
death and downefall. The conjectures
concerning this event were divers: For
some gave out, that it was the just pu
nishment and vengeance of God infli
cted upon thē for their Idolatry. More
over, there were divers doubting spirits
amongst the Romane Catholikes, who
thought that this was some conspiracie
of the Protestants. But if the building
had beene demolished and overthrown
by their indirect & treacherous means,
it must have been done either by blow
ing it up with Gunpowder, by sapping
away the earth from the foundation,
by undermining it, or by cutting off,
or taking away those supporters and pil
lars, upon whom the frame and ma
chine of the building was grounded. All
which were found to bee false, upon
most diligent search and inquirie made
in that behalfe. But that which carried
apparent appearance of truth, and that
which the Protestants and Papists did
allow, who were of the more milder,
temperate, and sounder judgement, was
thus: That this disaster hapned not by

malice; but by the defect and weaknes

The Society of the Jesuites did suffer
much, in losing the persons of Father
Drurie and Father Redyate. And divers
persons of both Religions, but especial
ly the Priests, who are men of as great
care and vigilancie, but of a farre grea
ter moderation, did taxe and blame
them, for that they brought their flocke
into a place of no greater safety or assu
rance; and besides, because their conven
ticle and meeting was so publike, there
being divers Protestants assembled at
it, some of whom were reported to have
a share in this calamity, and the times
as yet not serving for such assemblies,
the Kings pardon being not yet publish
ed, which was granted, as they say to all
the Romane Catholikes of these King
domes. But whatsoever thou be, Prote
stant or Papist, that doth see this mourn
full object, judge not, lest thou bee jud
ged. Neither thinke thou, that those 18.
men, upon whom the Tower of Silom
fell, or those persons whose blood Pilate
mingled with their sacrifice, were more
grievous sinners than all the rest of the
children of Israel; or that these who pe
rished thus together, were more noto
rious offenders than all the rest of their
brethren and Religion: for assure thy
selfe, that except thou repent, thou al
so shalt perish. And this repentance of
thine must not be propter scandalum mun
di, for the scandall and offence of the
world, for so did Saul repent, when out
of a foolish and State-spoiling pitie, he
had spared Agag the cursed Tirant of
Amalecke; and but of a faire yet foule
pretence, had spared the fairest of the
Cattell for sacrifice: for being rebuked
by the Prophet Samuel, he doth repent,
and desires him to honour him in the
sight of the Elders, and to turne unto
him, and he would turne unto the Lord
his God. Neither must it be propter poe
nam peccati, for their punishment, that is
due unto sinne; for so did Ahab repent,
when hee was reprooved by Elias for
killing of Naboth, and detaining of his
Vineyard, he rent his clothes, and gir
ded himselfe in sack-cloath, as the Text
hath it: But after that the fright and
terrour of Gods must terrible sentence
was worne out of his minde, and the
custome of sinne began to prevaile a
gaine, he sold himselfe to commit such
abominations, the like whereof were
never committed in Israel. But our re
pentance must be propter reatum peccati,
for the guilt of sinne, as sinne is a breach
of the Law, and a transgression of Gods
Commandement. Quae sic dolet com

We must take Repentance as Iob did,
in dust and ashes. Being dust, we must
take it in dust; and being ashes, we must
take it in ashes. Our transgressions in
this Kingdome and in this Citie have
