i_o will_v commit_v you_o to_o the_o race_n and_o end_n as_o i_o begin_v so_o run_v that_o you_o may_v obtain_v so_o often_o as_o i_o have_v read_v or_o consider_v these_o word_n which_o you_o hear_v they_o seem_v i_o think_v to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o we_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o that_o there_o be_v another_o way_n if_o we_o seek_v it_o near_a yet_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n than_o that_o which_o we_o take_v therefore_o the_o holy_a apostle_n do_v wa●●e_v every_o man_n to_o ponder_v his_o step_n that_o run_v we_o may_v obtain_v that_o which_o we_o run_v for_o which_o be_v the_o worthy_a price_n that_o ever_o be_v give_v and_o never_o be_v give_v but_o to_o he_o which_o keep_v this_o way_n that_o i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o you_o must_v run_v it_o be_v not_o a_o easy_a nor_o a_o short_a journey_n which_o a_o drone_n a_o dreamer_n a_o snail_n or_o any_o careless_a man_n may_v perform_v and_o take_v his_o ease_n set_v forth_o when_o he_o will_v stay_v at_o his_o pleasure_n go_v again_o at_o his_o leisure_n but_o he_o must_v always_o run_v from_o the_o first_o day_n he_o set_v forth_o till_o he_o come_v to_o his_o journey_n end_v for_o the_o glorious_a heaven_n be_v far_o from_o the_o dark_a earth_n &_o much_o ado_n to_o aspire_v the_o top_n of_o mount_n ston_n but_o much_o more_o ado_n to_o aspire_v the_o top_n of_o mount_n heaven_n the_o violent_a take_v it_o from_o the_o slothful_a and_o the_o wicked_a run_v to_o hell_n with_o more_o pain_n which_o they_o take_v to_o do_v evil_a than_o the_o righteous_a need_n to_o take_v for_o heaven_n the_o apostle_n put_v the_o word_n so_o before_o run_v to_o teach_v we_o to_o look_v to_o our_o way_n before_o we_o run_v far_o so_o run_v &c_n &c_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v more_o run_v than_o come_v home_o as_o more_o shoot_n than_o hit_v the_o mark_n the_o heathen_a philosopher_n plato_n socrates_n aristides_n photion_n pericles_n solon_n in_o their_o way_n do_v run_v fast_o than_o we_o constancy_n temperance_n patience_n justice_n humility_n simplicity_n integrity_n contempt_n of_o death_n contempt_n of_o the_o world_n seem_v to_o be_v bury_v with_o they_o and_o hide_v in_o the_o grave_n before_o this_o iron_n age_n be_v bear_v yet_o because_o they_o run_v without_o christ_n they_o do_v not_o obtain_v but_o lose_v their_o labour_n like_o a_o man_n which_o make_v haste_n out_o of_o his_o way_n take_v more_o pain_n than_o if_o he_o keep_v the_o way_n and_o yet_o never_o come_v whither_o he_o will_v the_o blind_a generation_n which_o know_v not_o god_n in_o their_o way_n run_v fast_o than_o we_o ask_v the_o merchant_n which_o have_v see_v their_o life_n and_o our_o life_n or_o look_v in_o history_n and_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o our_o religion_n be_v not_o like_o their_o superstition_n our_o knowledge_n not_o like_o their_o ignorance_n our_o faith_n not_o like_o their_o fear_n our_o worship_n not_o like_o their_o service_n our_o christianity_n not_o like_o their_o idolatry_n yet_o because_o they_o run_v to_o the_o creature_n for_o the_o creator_n and_o follow_v uncertain_a dream_n before_o the_o word_n which_o come_v from_o heaven_n they_o run_v in_o vain_a for_o their_o religion_n devotion_n and_o service_n be_v to_o they_o that_o can_v requite_v it_o many_o of_o our_o adversary_n papist_n anabaptist_n donatist_n and_o the_o gross_a heretic_n in_o their_o way_n run_v fasten_v than_o we_o they_o watch_v they_o pray_v they_o fast_o and_o distribute_v more_o than_o we_o yet_o because_o they_o run_v to_o tradition_n to_o angel_n to_o saint_n to_o gross_v to_o image_n to_o relic_n instead_o of_o christ_n and_o challenge_v merit_n of_o all_o that_o they_o do_v and_o will_v be_v canonize_v beside_o that_o all_o posterity_n may_v honour_v they_o as_o they_o do_v saint_n therefore_o as_o the_o pharisy_n have_v their_o reward_n when_o man_n praise_v they_o so_o have_v they_o when_o one_o do_v worship_v another_o if_o many_o run_v and_o do_v not_o obtain_v how_o easy_a be_v it_o to_o run_v in_o vain_a and_o how_o happy_a be_v he_o which_o obtain_v that_o that_o all_o man_n wish_v when_o so_o many_o miss_v it_o for_o nothing_o but_o for_o this_o because_o they_o run_v out_o of_o the_o way_n you_o have_v hear_v read_v and_o do_v much_o and_o more_o will_v do_v to_o obtain_v eternal_a life_n with_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n for_o this_o you_o pray_v and_o fast_o and_o watch_v and_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o come_v together_o every_o sabbath_n to_o hear_v to_o pray_v to_o praise_v and_o serve_v he_o which_o give_v how_o many_o prayer_n how_o many_o fast_n how_o many_o watch_n how_o many_o work_n how_o many_o hour_n in_o read_v the_o word_n in_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o examine_v your_o heart_n in_o chastise_v your_o flesh_n be_v spend_v &_o lose_v if_o you_o shall_v run_v in_o vain_a as_o esau_n hunt_v for_o a_o blessing_n &_o go_v without_o it_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v say_v nothing_o but_o it_o be_v like_o a_o mark_n in_o our_o way_n to_o show_v we_o when_o we_o be_v in_o &_o when_o we_o be_v out_o for_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o lose_v our_o labour_n like_o laban_n which_o can_v find_v in_o his_o hart_n after_o jacob_n have_v serve_v he_o twenty_o year_n to_o send_v he_o away_o empty_a but_o he_o will_v have_v you_o to_o seek_v and_o find_v to_o ask_v and_o receive_v to_o run_v and_o obtain_v therefore_o he_o say_v so_o run_v that_o you_o may_v obtain_v as_o there_o be_v a_o heaven_n so_o there_o be_v a_o way_n to_o heaven_n one_o way_n adam_n come_v from_o paradise_n and_o by_o another_o way_n he_o must_v return_v to_o paradise_n the_o passage_n be_v not_o so_o stop_v but_o there_o be_v a_o way_n though_o a_o straight_a way_n and_o a_o door_n though_o it_o be_v a_o narrow_a door_n and_o therefore_o few_o do_v find_v it_o only_o they_o which_o be_v like_o jacob_n do_v see_v a_o ladder_n before_o they_o as_o jacob_n do_v he_o have_v many_o dream_n before_o
