without_o fear_n with_o they_o as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n of_o samson_n david_n daniel_n among_o the_o lion_n heliseus_fw-la with_o the_o bear_n and_o s._n paul_n with_o the_o

nature_n of_o the_o which_o man_n be_v create_v as_o of_o the_o condition_n that_o be_v so_o tender_a and_o frail_a that_o in_o many_o thing_n beast_n do_v excel_v he_o misery_n shall_v we_o therefore_o be_v so_o mad_a or_o dare_v we_o confess_v that_o god_n have_v show_v more_o favour_n to_o other_o beast_n than_o to_o man_n no_o true_o for_o although_o he_o have_v create_v he_o vile_a and_o abject_a as_o of_o a_o lump_n of_o earth_n yet_o this_o in_o nothing_o do_v derogate_v his_o glory_n for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o he_o have_v not_o create_v man_n corruptible_a for_o default_n of_o a_o better_a for_o by_o the_o creation_n of_o y_fw-es ●_o sun_n the_o moon_n &_o the_o star_n he_o have_v show_v how_o he_o may_v have_v create_v man_n of_o a_o thing_n more_o excellent_a but_o he_o have_v create_v he_o of_o the_o earth_n for_o to_o beat_v down_o his_o pride_n and_o arrogancy_n the_o which_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o all_o his_o posterity_n and_o that_o he_o must_v not_o only_o study_v on_o earthly_a thing_n as_o the_o brute_n beast_n do_v that_o look_v for_o no_o other_o felicity_n but_o in_o this_o miserable_a world_n but_o he_o must_v lift_v up_o his_o eye_n to_o heaven_n know_v that_o there_o be_v his_o father_n his_o house_n and_o habitation_n his_o place_n of_o rest_n his_o heritage_n &_o eternal_a felicity_n now_o as_o touch_v the_o misery_n with_o the_o which_o he_o be_v charge_v and_o subject_a god_n in_o the_o beginning_n create_v he_o not_o subject_a to_o such_o misery_n for_o god_n exalt_v he_o to_o the_o most_o high_a degree_n of_o all_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o if_o he_o have_v so_o many_o misery_n as_o we_o have_v before_o show_v they_o be_v chance_v to_o he_o since_o that_o he_o know_v not_o himself_o and_o since_o the_o time_n that_o he_o have_v strayde_v from_o the_o obedience_n and_o vocation_n to_o the_o which_o he_o be_v call_v and_o if_o that_o he_o can_v have_v keep_v and_o retain_v this_o excellent_a treasure_n man_n his_o god_n will_v have_v preserve_v he_o in_o perpetual_a felicity_n nevertheless_o though_o god_n have_v make_v he_o subject_a to_o many_o misery_n it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o hatred_n that_o he_o bear_v unto_o he_o for_o he_o have_v not_o pardon_v his_o only_a son_n for_o y_z e_z great_a love_n he_o bear_v unto_o man_n but_o it_o be_v for_o his_o great_a profit_n that_o he_o have_v create_v he_o such_o will_v thereby_o to_o admonish_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o to_o pluck_v out_o from_o his_o heart_n that_o pestilent_a root_n of_o pride_n the_o which_o the_o devil_n have_v plant_v for_o to_o humble_a and_o keep_v he_o under_o his_o fear_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n be_v subject_a to_o so_o many_o misery_n and_o be_v become_v mortal_a and_o corruptible_a and_o if_o man_n therefore_o see_v himself_o so_o wicked_a and_o miserable_a be_v so_o proud_a and_o high_a mind_a what_o will_v he_o be_v if_o he_o be_v immortal_a and_o incorruptible_a and_o therefore_o god_n have_v here_o show_v his_o wisdom_n and_o sapience_n in_o y_fw-es ●_o he_o have_v make_v he_o subject_a to_o corruption_n notwithstanding_o in_o this_o corruptible_a and_o mortal_a vessel_n of_o earth_n he_o have_v keep_v so_o goodly_a a_o harmony_n and_o countenance_n that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a
