honour_n do_v dishonour_n god_n in_o the_o ark_n of_o old_a time_n there_o be_v three_o famous_a thing_n manna_n aaron_n rod_n and_o the_o two_o table_n our_o ark_n have_v these_o sometime_o but_o some_o greedy_a cormorant_n have_v pry_v into_o our_o ark_n have_v take_v away_o a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o manna_n and_o to_o get_v the_o remainder_n they_o snatch_v at_o aaron_n rod_n that_o be_v at_o church-government_n and_o discipline_n and_o by_o their_o good_a will_n will_v leave_v nothing_o but_o the_o two_o table_n that_o be_v scholar_n book_n to_o live_v by_o but_o if_o samuel_n be_v not_o vir_fw-la honoratus_fw-la a_o man_n of_o honour_n among_o the_o people_n never_o look_v for_o a_o good_a government_n if_o the_o crib_n be_v empty_a you_o shall_v get_v no_o ox_n you_o must_v be_v content_a to_o have_v ass_n to_o do_v your_o work_n if_o the_o carcase_n be_v go_v you_o may_v perhaps_o with_o a_o little_a chaff_n get_v bussard_n 12._o 2._o chro._n 12._o but_o eagle_n will_v not_o come_v if_o sisac_n spoil_v the_o temple_n than_o salomon_n golden_a shield_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o rehoboams_n brazen_a shield_n and_o yet_o you_o must_v be_v content_v with_o it_o &_o with_o much_o more_o evil_a they_o these_o which_o the_o pretend_a reformation_n will_v bring_v upon_o you_o and_o your_o posterity_n whatsoever_o reformation_n be_v pretend_v the_o gold_n of_o the_o
