# A Handful of Pleasant Delights/The ioy of Virginitie

The ioy of Virginitie: to, The Gods of loue
Iudge and finde, how God doth minde,
to furnish, to furnish
his heauenly throne aboue,
With virgins pure, this am I sure,
without misse, without misse:
with other Saints he doth loue:
It is allowed as you may reade,
And eke auowed by Paul indeede,
Virginitie is accepted,
a thing high in Gods sight:
Though marriage is selected,
a thing to be most right:
yet must I praise Virginitie,
For I would faine a Virgin be.
¶You Virgins pure, your selues assure,
and credite, and credite:
great ioy you shall possesse,
Which I (God knows) cannot disclose,
nor spreade it, nor spreade it,
ne yet by pen expresse.
Nor halfe the ioies that you shall finde,
I can not iudge for you assignde:
When hence your ghost shall yeelded be,
into the throne of blisse:
In chaste and pure Virginitie,
for thought or deed ywisse:
Wher you shal raign, with God on hie
For euermore eternally.
​¶And when doubtlesse, you shal possesse,
with Iesus, with Iesus,
these ioies celestiall.
Then Ladie Fame, wil blaze your name,
amongst vs, amongst vs,
which then on earth raigne shal.
She wil resound in euerie coast,
By trumpet sound, and wil you boast?
So that although you do depart
This mortall life so vaine:
Your chastitie in euerie heart,
by memorie shall remaine.
But hard it is, I saie no more,
To finde an hundreth in a score.
Finis.

The lamentation of a woman being wrongfully defamed. To the tune of Damon and Pithias.
Ou Ladies falsly deemd,
of anie fault or crime:
Command your pensiue harts to help
this dolefull tune of mine:
For spitefull men there are,
that faults would fain espie:
Alas, what heart would heare their talke,
but willingly would die.
¶I waile oft times in woe,
and curse mine houre of birth,
Such slanderous pangs do me oppresse,
when others ioy in mirth:
Belike it was ordaind to be my destinie.
Alas what heart would heare their talk, &c.
¶A thousand good women,
haue guiltlesse been accusde:
For verie spite, although that they,
their bodies neuer abusde:
the godly Susanna accusde was falsly
alas &c.
¶The poisoned Pancalier,
ful falsly did accuse
The good Dutchesse of Sauoy,
because she did refuse.
To grant vnto his loue,
that was so vngodlie.
Alas what, &c.
​¶Such false dissembling men,
stoong with Alectos dart:
Must needs haue place to spit their spite,
vpon some guiltlesse hart:
Therefore, I must he pleasde,
that they triumph on me,
Alas, &c.
¶Therefore, Lord, I thee pray,
the like death downe to send,
Vpon these false suspected men,
or else their minds t'amend:
As thou hast done tofore,
vnto these persons three.
Alas what, &c.
# A Handful of Pleasant Delights/The painefull plight of a Louer oppressed with the beautifull looks of his Lady

The painefull plight of a Louer oppressed with the beautifull looks of his Lady.
To the tune of, I loued her ouer wel.
Hen as thy eies, ye wretched spies did breed my cause of care: And sisters three did full agree, my fatall threed to spare. Then let these words ingrauen be, on toomb whereas I lie, That here lies one whom spiteful loue, hath caused for to die.
​¶Somtimes I spend the night to end, in dolors and in woe: Somtime againe vnto my pain, my chiefest ioy doth grow. When as in minde, thy shape I finde, as fancie doth me tell: Whome now I knowe, as proofe doth show I loued thee ouer wel.
¶How oft within my wreathed arme, desired I to folde: Thy Christall corps, of whom I ioyed, more dearer than of golde. But now disdaine, dooth breede my paine, and thou canst not denie: But that I loued thee ouer well: that caused me die.
[¶]The hound that serues his Maisters will, in raunging here and there, The moyling Horse, that labours still, his burthen great to beare: In lew of paine, receiues againe, of him which did him owe: As Natures heast, wiles most and least them thankefull for to showe.
¶The Lyon and the Tyger fierce, as Nature doth them binde: For loue, like loue repay againe: in Stories we doo finde: Those beasts and birds both wild and tame, of frendships lore can tell: But thy reply, willes me to die, that loued thee ouer well.
¶Therfore, my deare and Darling faire, ensample take by those, Which equally with loue againe, their louing mindes dispose: ​And giue him glee, whose death we s[ee] approcheth very nie: Without he gaine, to ease his paine, which loued thee hartely.
¶Then shall th[e]y say that see the same, where euer that they goe: And wish for ay, as for thy pay, all Nestors yeares to know: And I no lesse then all the rest, should wish thee health for aye: Because thou hast heard my request, and saued me from decay.

The Louer complaineth the absence of his Ladie, wisheth for death.
To, the new Almaine.
Ith spitefull spite hath spide her time, my wished ioies to end: And drowping dread hath driuen me now from my new chosen friend: I can but waile the want, of this my former ioie: Sith spiteful force hath sought so long, my blisse for to annoie.
¶But though it be our chance asunder for to be, My heart in pawne til we do meet, Shal stil remaine with thee: And then we shall renue, our sugred pleasures past: And ioue that loue, that seekes no change, whilst life in vs do last.
¶Perhaps my absence may, or else some other let: By choice of change, cause thee my deer, our former loue forget: And thou renounce the oth, which erst thou vowdst to me: My deerest blood in recompence, thou sure shouldst shortly see.
[¶]A thousand sighs to send to thee I wil not let, Ne to bewaile the losse of thee, I neuer will forget But still suppose I see, the same before my face: And louingly between my armes, thy corps I do embrace.
​¶Thus feed I fancie stil, for lacke of greater ioy: With such like thoughts, which daily doth, my wofull heart annoy: thus stil in hope I liue, my wished ioies to haue: And in dispaire oft time I wish, my feeble Corps in graue.
¶This is the life I leade, til I thee see again And so wil do, til dreadful death, do seek to ease my paine, whom rather I do wish, by force to end in wo, than for to liue in happie state, thy loue for to forgo.
¶And thus farewell my deer, with whom my heart shall rest, Remember him that this did write, sith he doth loue thee best: And wil til greedie death, my daies do shorten now: Farewel my dear, loe here my faith and troth to thee I vow.

# A Dictionary of All Religions and Religious Denominations/Wickliffites

WICKLIFFITES, a denomination which sprang up in England in the fourteenth century. They derived their name from John Wickliff, doctor and professor of divinity in the university of Oxford, a man of an enterprizing genius and extraordinary learning. He began with attacking the jurisdiction of the pope and the bishops; and declared that penance had no sort of merit in the sight of God, unless followed with a reformed life. He was a warm opposer of absolution; for he alleged that it belonged to God alone to forgive sins, but instead of acting as God ministers, the Romish clergy took upon them, he said, to forgive sins in their own name. He also taught that external confession was not necessary to salvation, exclaimed against indulgences, prayers to the saints, the celibacy of the clergy, the doctrine of transubstantiation, monastic vows, and other practices in the Roman Catholic church. He not only exhorted the laity to study the scriptures, but also translated them into English, in order to render the perusal of them more universal. The followers of Wickliff are also called Lollards.

# A Dictionary of All Religions and Religious Denominations/Yogeys

*YOGEYS, (SANAISYS, or SUNASEES,) Hindoo Devotees, who practise a variety of self-tortures, and mortify the body in order to merit heavenly felicity, and obtain the immaterial nature of Brahma, the supreme. In the Mahabarat, a Yogey is thus defined: "The man who keepeth the outward accidents from entering the mind, and his eyes fixed in contemplation between his brows; who maketh his breath pass equally through his nostrils; ...... keeping his head, his neck, and his body steady without motion, his eyes fixed on the point of his nose, looking at nothing else around," &c. he is a Yogey —and is forever blessed.
These Yogeys, as practices of self-devotion, cast themselves down on spikes stuck in bags of straw, walk on fire, pierce themselves with pins, and bore their tongues; but the most famous act of devotion is swinging by means of honks drawn through their backs and sides, and fastened with ropes to trees, by which they will spin round very rapidly for half an hour or more. And some poor creatures, in order to be sure of going to heaven (as they suppose) cast themselves under the wheels of the chariot of Jaggernaut, and are voluntarily crushed to death.

* ↑ In the interior part of Hindostan an idol, called Jaggernaut, is worshipped by immense numbers, who make frequent pilgrimages to his temple in Orisa. On these occasions the idol is brought forth on a stupendous car or tower, about sixty feet in height, amidst the acclamations of hundreds of thousands of worshippers, who resort thither from various parts of India. Many of whom sacrifice themselves to this idol; numbers of pilgrims die on the road; and their bodies frequently remain unburied.

# A Dictionary of All Religions and Religious Denominations/Zabathai Zevi

ZABATHAI ZEVI, a celebrated Jewish impostor, who appeared at Smyrna about 1666, and pretending to be the Messiah, promised to deliver the Jews, and re-establish them in more than their pristine glory. Multitudes of his nation acknowledged him for their Messiah and king, and many of his followers pretended to visions and prophetic ecstacies. At length he fell into the hands of the Grand Seignor, who commanded him to be set as a mark for his archers, to prove whether he was invulnerable . To avoid this trial Zevi renounced his vainglorious pretensions; and saved his life by professing the Mahometan religion.
The denomination of Zabathaites is given to the followers of Zabathai Zevi. The sect he formed survived him; and he actually has yet, at Salonichi, partisans, who, outwardly professing Mahometanism, observe in secret the Judaic rites, marry among themselves, and all live in the same quarter of the city, without communicating with the mussulmans, except for the purpose of commerce, and in the mosques.
Zabathai Zevi is said to have had many adherents among the Jews of England, Holland, Germany and Poland, who have continued in small numbers to our days.

# A Dictionary of All Religions and Religious Denominations/Wilkinson

WILKINSON, Jemina, an American female of some notoriety in the last century. It is said that she asserted, that in 1776, she was taken sick and actually died, and her soul went to reside in heaven. Soon after, her body was reanimated with the spirit and power of Christ, upon which she set up as a public teacher; and declared she had an immediate revelation for all she delivered, and was arrived to a state of absolute perfection. It is also said she pretended to foretell future events, to discern the secrets of the heart, and to have the power of healing diseases; and if any persons, who had made application to her, were not healed, she attributed it to their want of faith. She acknowledged no other name but that of Universal Friend. She made some converts in. New York, and in Rhode Island; but chiefly in the Gennessee country.
An ingenious young gentleman, in his tour to the falls of Niagara, Montreal, and Quebec in 1812, was introduced to Jemina Wilkinson, and has given a very entertaining account of the interview. Among other things he says, "Her command of the contents of the bible, and her readiness in the use of scripture language was surprising." He supposed that "like most of the false pretenders to religious superiority, she made her claims to uncommon inspiration with sincerity." He, however, describes her as an ambitious and selfish woman; whose mental powers were vigorous, who was acute and cunning, and must, he says, be skilled in human nature to have gained such an ascendency over so many minds. She amassed a large fortune by the donations of her followers, and lived in a luxurious and expensive manner."
