beginning_n toby_n this_o parable_n seem_v very_o dark_a to_o i_o what_o mean_v our_o saviour_n christ_n thereby_o theo._n even_o so_o happen_v it_o to_o the_o jew_n 20._o the_o lord_n carry_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n and_o give_v they_o his_o law_n 78._o whereby_o he_o drive_v the_o devil_n from_o amongst_o they_o but_o through_o their_o idolatry_n and_o sin_n he_o give_v they_o over_o to_o the_o hand_n of_o tyrant_n which_o moses_n tell_v they_o of_o before_o by_o who_o mean_n satan_n go_v about_o utter_o to_o destroy_v the_o people_n of_o god._n it_o appear_v more_o plain_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o judge_n samuel_n the_o king_n the_o chronicle_n and_o the_o maccabee_n that_o they_o be_v many_o time_n afflict_v by_o gentile_n &_o idolater_n which_o be_v their_o neighbour_n and_o principal_o by_o the_o assyrian_n babylonians_n and_o greek_n but_o especial_o by_o antiochus_n epiphanes_n who_o right_o be_v take_v for_o the_o figure_n of_o antichrist_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o heinous_a enterprise_n against_o god_n and_o his_o word_n 1._o but_o the_o lord_n be_v always_o merciful_a to_o his_o church_n after_o he_o have_v chastise_v they_o for_o their_o sin_n do_v deliver_v they_o from_o these_o great_a mischief_n and_o give_v they_o some_o respite_n and_o consolation_n but_o they_o afterward_o forget_v again_o the_o scourage_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o behave_v themselves_o worse_a against_o christ_n his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n than_o ever_o their_o predecessor_n do_v against_o the_o prophet_n 9_o therefore_o they_o can_v look_v for_o nothing_o 11._o but_o only_o the_o visitation_n of_o god_n more_o sharp_o and_o terrible_o then_o before_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v destroy_v and_o whole_o overthrow_v they_o give_v they_o over_o to_o the_o power_n of_o sathan_n which_o he_o do_v when_o he_o call_v the_o gentile_n to_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o reject_v they_o and_o give_v they_o over_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o roman_n 24._o who_o have_v more_o cruel_o handle_v they_o 21._o than_o any_o of_o the_o tyrant_n before_o that_o tyme._n wherefore_o jesus_n christ_n say_v not_o without_o cause_n 4._o that_o there_o be_v never_o such_o tribulation_n nor_o vengeance_n of_o god_n god_n since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n of_o which_o vengeance_n the_o scatter_a of_o the_o jew_n throughout_o all_o the_o world_n be_v witness_n to_o this_o day_n whereby_o we_o may_v well_o perceive_v how_o god_n have_v reserve_v they_o as_o a_o witness_n of_o his_o just_a judgement_n to_o all_o those_o that_o stand_v against_o jesus_n christ_n or_o his_o gospel_n for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o more_o miserable_a nor_o curse_a people_n under_o the_o cope_n of_o heaven_n by_o who_o god_n have_v show_v we_o a_o great_a example_n if_o we_o can_v beware_v but_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v holy_a like_o they_o they_o have_v the_o example_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomorrha_n before_o their_o eye_n 19_o for_o they_o may_v almost_o see_v from_o their_o own_o country_n the_o cituation_n of_o the_o town_n which_o by_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n send_v from_o heaven_n be_v consume_v by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n who_o witness_n remain_v on_o the_o year_v for_o ever_o for_o where_o as_o before_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o paradise_n now_o it_o remain_v so_o in_o god_n curse_n 13._o that_o it_o bear_v no_o fruit_n that_o can_v sustain_v man_n but_o it_o turn_v immediate_o into_o smoke_n and_o ash_n 16._o as_o the_o heathen_a historiographer_n &_o cosmographer_n witness_v israelites_n and_o namely_o cornelius_n tacitus_n &_o strabo_n although_o they_o know_v not_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n from_o whence_o it_o procee_v the_o israelite_n which_o hold_v samaria_n have_v there_o a_o plain_a spectacle_n before_o their_o eye_n but_o they_o can_v not_o beware_v by_o it_o but_o so_o far_o provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n that_o he_o drive_v they_o by_o the_o assyrian_n from_o the_o land_n that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o likewise_o their_o brethren_n of_o juda_n see_v all_o these_o example_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n manifest_o juda_n and_o can_v not_o amend_v but_o do_v worse_a than_o israel_n wherefore_o god_n punish_v they_o like_o wise_a by_o the_o babylonians_n their_o successor_n may_v have_v be_v warn_v by_o the_o example_n and_o punishment_n of_o their_o predecessor_n but_o it_o behove_v they_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n tell_v they_o to_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o father_n 23._o and_o therefore_o god_n must_v needs_o use_v extreme_a vengeance_n towards_o they_o and_o so_o curse_v they_o as_o we_o at_o this_o day_n see_v from_o one_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o other_o toby_n i_o be_o afraid_a lest_o the_o like_v happen_v now_o to_o we_o christian_n theo._n it_o be_v sore_o to_o be_v fear_v for_o now_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v which_o have_v drive_v and_o discover_v sathan_n that_o quiet_o reign_v in_o the_o world_n and_o call_v the_o gentile_n and_o paynim_n from_o who_o we_o spring_v to_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o ever_o before_o serve_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o idol_n but_o we_o very_o unthankful_o receive_v the_o grace_n that_o god_n have_v show_v us._n therefore_o we_o may_v see_v what_o vengeance_n god_n have_v use_v towards_o the_o easte_n church_n and_o against_o all_o the_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o africa_n by_o that_o false_a prophet_n mahomette_n and_o by_o the_o turk_n his_o adherentes_fw-la the_o most_o church_n of_o europe_n ought_v to_o take_v heed_n by_o their_o example_n toby_n thou_o say_v true_a but_o we_o will_v not_o pass_v for_o it_o till_o we_o be_v as_o they_o be_v and_o till_o thesame_a light_n upon_o us._n theo._n if_o we_o be_v not_o whole_o blind_a we_o may_v see_v how_o the_o lord_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o wrath_n and_o exercise_v his_o vengeance_n upon_o we_o through_o that_o romishe_n antichriste_n for_o what_o disolation_n and_o ruin_n have_v he_o bring_v the_o christian_a church_n in_o now_o after_o all_o this_o great_a desolation_n and_o ruin_n which_o be_v fall_v on_o all_o church_n jesus_n christ_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o visit_v we_o once_o again_o with_o his_o gospel_n which_o we_o receive_v even_o as_o the_o jew_n do_v wherefore_o i_o look_v for_o none_o other_o thing_n but_o god_n just_a judgement_n upon_o we_o even_o as_o they_o have_v and_o have_v to_o this_o day_n and_o there_o be_v none_o other_o likelihood_n but_o that_o the_o utter_a consumption_n of_o the_o world_n be_v at_o hand_n world_n when_o their_o wickedness_n shall_v come_v to_o the_o fullness_n as_o they_o of_o jerusalem_n do_v which_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o that_o last_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o we_o look_v for_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n join_v both_o together_o in_o the_o answer_n that_o he_o make_v to_o his_o disciple_n 24._o when_o they_o question_v with_o he_o of_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n toby_n then_o have_v i_o good_a cause_n to_o say_v that_o the_o world_n be_v possess_v with_o devil_n toby_n nay_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v lest_o we_o become_v worse_o and_o lest_o that_o wicked_a spirit_n come_v again_o with_o seven_o other_o spirit_n worse_o than_o himself_o and_o that_o our_o state_n be_v worse_o than_o ever_o it_o be_v world_n for_o the_o likelihoode_n be_v very_o great_a the_o danger_n be_v such_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o to_o remedy_n but_o only_o our_o saviour_n christ_n who_o alone_o have_v all_o power_n to_o command_v devil_n who_o they_o fear_v and_o who_o only_o they_o obey_v 17._o but_o sing_v we_o have_v forsake_v he_o drive_v he_o away_o from_o we_o and_o will_v not_o receive_v he_o again_o 1._o when_o he_o offer_v his_o grace_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o there_o be_v many_o in_o the_o world_n possess_v with_o devil_n sing_v he_o be_v go_v that_o have_v only_o power_n to_o cast_v they_o out_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v like_o those_o that_o bind_v and_o chain_v the_o possess_v man_n that_o dwell_v among_o the_o grave_n for_o though_o they_o tie_v he_o never_o so_o fast_a it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n he_o break_v all_o till_o our_o saviour_n christ_n come_v which_o heal_v he_o and_o make_v he_o as_o meek_a as_o a_o lamb_n which_o worldly_a man_n can_v not_o do_v by_o all_o the_o mean_n they_o can_v devise_v world_n there_o be_v many_o now_o adays_o that_o go_v about_o to_o heal_v the_o disease_a frantic_a and_o possess_v world_n and_o to_o drive_v the_o devil_n out_o of_o he_o and_o think_v to_o do_v it_o by_o their_o own_o policy_n counsel_n authority_n power_n and_o richesse_n and_o by_o the_o coniurynge_v and_o adiurynge_v of_o their_o ceremony_n and_o tradition_n but_o they_o make_v he_o worse_o as_o we_o have_v prove_v of_o long_a time_n

i_o have_v none_o other_o respect_n but_o myself_o never_o have_v be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n theo._n and_o yet_o all_o that_o be_v write_v of_o these_o possess_a man_n be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o torment_n of_o the_o damn_a &_o reprobate_a which_o begin_v not_o only_o so_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o this_o present_a life_n but_o even_o while_o they_o live_v so_o soon_o as_o they_o resist_v god_n &_o fight_v against_o their_o own_o conscience_n toby_n we_o may_v then_o place_v those_o wicked_a one_o that_o thou_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o number_n of_o these_o possess_a man_n that_o make_v their_o abide_v in_o the_o grave_n as_o if_o they_o be_v already_o lodge_v with_o death_n and_o have_v he_o always_o before_o their_o eye_n theo._n though_o they_o make_v a_o fair_a show_n towards_o the_o world_n than_o the_o possess_v do_v and_o be_v not_o so_o much_o torment_v in_o body_n yet_o be_v they_o no_o less_o torment_v in_o spirit_n &_o

the_o mouth_n of_o esay_n 48._o sai_v the_o wicked_a shall_v never_o have_v peace_n nor_o quietness_n but_o shall_v be_v continual_o like_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v always_o in_o torment_n toby_n as_o concern_v those_o that_o thou_o speak_v of_o man_n which_o hate_v all_o man_n and_o their_o conversation_n and_o seek_v to_o be_v solitary_a because_o all_o the_o world_n do_v extreme_o avoid_v they_o i_o have_v know_v some_o that_o in_o steed_n of_o ioi_v in_o their_o wine_n and_o child_n they_o have_v so_o extreme_o hate_v they_o that_o they_o can_v neither_o see_v they_o nor_o hear_v they_o no_o nor_o abide_v any_o other_o person_n theo._n thou_o may_v well_o place_v those_o in_o the_o number_n of_o those_o possess_v that_o flee_v into_o the_o desert_n for_o there_o be_v some_o wicked_a one_o so_o envious_a and_o hateful_a to_o every_o man_n through_o the_o extreme_a covetousness_n that_o continual_o grieve_v their_o greedy_a heart_n that_o they_o will_v have_v all_o the_o world_n themselves_o therefore_o as_o they_o can_v away_o with_o no_o man_n no_o more_o can_v any_o man_n away_o with_o they_o yea_o they_o can_v not_o away_o with_o themselves_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o they_o become_v like_a to_o these_o possess_a man_n 8._o which_o not_o only_o fall_v upon_o all_o such_o as_o pass_v by_o and_o they_o meet_v 5._o so_o that_o none_o dare_v pass_v by_o the_o way_n where_o they_o be_v but_o also_o they_o cruel_o torment_v themselves_o and_o beat_v themselves_o against_o the_o stone_n toby_n if_o the_o devil_n have_v such_o power_n over_o those_o who_o he_o rule_v that_o he_o cause_v they_o to_o torment_v themselves_o yea_o if_o they_o can_v to_o destroy_v themselves_o we_o need_v not_o marvel_v if_o such_o be_v cruel_a and_o furious_a against_o other_o theo._n notwithstanding_o thou_o see_v how_o god_n have_v satan_n so_o in_o bond_n bridle_v and_o bridle_v he_o by_o his_o providence_n that_o he_o can_v work_v his_o will_n neither_o in_o the_o person_n of_o these_o poor_a possess_v nor_o in_o any_o other_o for_o though_o these_o possess_v break_v their_o chain_n and_o bond_n so_o that_o none_o can_v keep_v they_o bound_n nor_o stay_v they_o nevertheless_o they_o can_v neither_o destroy_v themselves_o nor_o hurt_v any_o other_o further_o than_o the_o lord_n give_v they_o leave_v toby_n if_o god_n have_v not_o provide_v they_o may_v have_v do_z much_o harm_n consider_v that_o they_o be_v so_o furious_a mighty_a and_o strong_a that_o there_o be_v no_o bond_n nor_o chain_n but_o they_o break_v theo._n thou_o may_v well_o think_v that_o that_o strength_n come_v not_o alone_o of_o themselves_o for_o they_o be_v but_o man_n as_o other_o man_n be_v whereby_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o the_o deville_n which_o possess_v they_o do_v employ_v their_o force_n to_o work_v such_o thing_n as_o surmount_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n toby_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o their_o strength_n come_v from_o they_o as_o thou_o have_v say_v for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o come_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o sampson_n do_v 16._o who_o also_o break_v chain_n and_o bond_n carry_v away_o town_n gate_n on_o his_o shoulder_n and_o overthrow_v house_n with_o y_z e_z strength_n of_o his_o hand_n theo._n nevertheless_o thou_o see_v how_o god_n have_v these_o possess_v in_o such_o bond_n that_o notwithstanding_o the_o strength_n that_o the_o deville_n give_v they_o yet_o be_v they_o always_o so_o subject_a to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o if_o he_o have_v have_v they_o in_o chain_n and_o bond_n and_o although_o they_o flee_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o desert_n yet_o when_o it_o please_v jesus_n christ_n he_o bring_v they_o from_o thence_o and_o constrain_v they_o to_o appear_v before_o he_o as_o if_o a_o judge_n shall_v call_v a_o wicked_a doer_n out_o of_o prison_n to_o appear_v before_o he_o to_o give_v sentence_n against_o he_o now_o if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v show_v such_o power_n on_o these_o possess_v and_o over_o the_o deville_n which_o torment_v they_o we_o may_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o have_v as_o much_o power_n now_o as_o ever_o he_o have_v to_o repress_v the_o cloak_v possess_v possess_a that_o be_v now_o adays_o and_o also_o these_o deville_n by_o who_o they_o be_v conduct_v and_o govern_v but_o especial_o we_o may_v be_v well_o assure_v that_o he_o will_v not_o loose_v the_o bridle_n more_o to_o tyrant_n then_o to_o these_o possess_v who_o they_o resemble_v in_o many_o thing_n for_o they_o be_v strong_a and_o mighty_a possess_v who_o man_n power_n can_v not_o easy_o resist_v yea_o and_o they_o be_v furious_a like_o the_o lord_n and_o master_n that_o they_o serve_v and_o therefore_o dragon_n it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o apocalypse_n that_o the_o red_a dragon_n have_v seven_o head_n and_o on_o every_o head_n a_o crown_n and_o he_o have_v also_o ten_o horn_n for_o 12._o the_o devil_n have_v at_o all_o time_n govern_v such_o tyrannous_a king_n and_o prince_n as_o persecute_v the_o people_n of_o god_n furthermore_n law_n be_v give_v to_o man_n as_o bond_n and_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v they_o from_o all_o kind_n of_o riot_n or_o beastly_a life_n and_o therefore_o david_n admonish_v we_o 32._o sai_v be_v you_o not_o like_o a_o horse_n or_o like_o a_o mule_n which_o understande_v not_o who_o mouth_n thou_o do_v bind_v with_o bit_n and_o bridle_n lest_o they_o come_v near_o thou_o but_o there_o be_v neither_o bit_n nor_o bridle_n that_o can_v restrain_v the_o tyranny_n and_o fury_n of_o tyrant_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o power_n and_o the_o practice_n that_o the_o red_a dragon_n which_o be_v the_o devil_n work_v in_o they_o and_o by_o they_o wherefore_o they_o may_v well_o be_v compare_v to_o those_o furious_a violente_fw-la and_o wild_a possess_v man_n but_o our_o great_a comfort_n be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v their_o judge_n be_v able_a enough_o to_o call_v they_o to_o judgement_n before_o he_o either_o to_o bridle_v their_o rage_n or_o to_o condemn_v they_o to_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n of_o hell_n to_o the_o devil_n who_o they_o have_v rather_o obey_v then_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o daniel_n 7._o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v judge_v and_o condemn_v all_o beast_n by_o which_o be_v signify_v the_o

well_o now_o remain_v to_o hear_v what_o jerome_n have_v to_o say_v jerom._n because_o that_o the_o tyrant_n which_o open_o persecute_v the_o people_n and_o church_n of_o god_n and_o use_v nothing_o
