fhould

jeek

after

the

kingdome

of

Heaven,'-

foam

as

ever the kingdome of Heaven

began

to

be knowne,

young

ones

were

very

earneif about

it

,

and

were

very

much

affected with

this

kingdome of Heaven, Compare thofe

two

places of

Scripture,

I I

Mark,,

t o. with the

21

Math:

15.

And there

you

(hall

f°nd

,

that

the children

and young ones

were

cr) ing Hofanna

to

the

Son

of

David

:

And

when

the

chiefe

Prie/Is

and Scribes fain

wonderful!

things

that

he

did,

They cryed

Hofanna

to

the highest,

becaufe

of the

kingdome of the

that

coming.

Now it's

faid,

that

the

chiefe Prieffs

at

it

:

Carnali

,

That
