example_n here_o zeal_n and_o discretion_n be_v meet_v together_o the_o dove_n simplicity_n and_o the_o serpent_n policy_n kiss_v each_o other_o to_o win_v one_o soul_n to_o god_n what_o study_n paul_n take_v and_o how_o he_o beat_v his_o brain_n and_o pick_v his_o word_n to_o win_v a_o king_n to_o religion_n because_o many_o turn_n with_o their_o head_n he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o flatter_v agrippa_n as_o he_o persuade_v he_o to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o say_v he_o do_v this_o be_v paul_n drift_n to_o draw_v he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o cord_n of_o joy_n and_o make_v he_o confess_v christ_n before_o he_o be_v a_o ware_n that_o so_o he_o may_v get_v more_o &_o more_o of_o he_o even_o as_o nathan_n make_v david_n by_o a_o sleight_n to_o confess_v against_o himself_o and_o repent_v his_o adultery_n when_o as_o it_o be_v like_o that_o plain_a and_o blunt_a speech_n will_v have_v do_v more_o hurt_n than_o good_a this_o be_v the_o subtlety_n of_o wisdom_n as_o i_o my_o term_n it_o which_o solomon_n intend_v when_o she_o say_v i_o wisdom_n dwell_v with_o prudence_n pro._n 12._o where_o prudence_n signify_v christian_a policy_n which_o christ_n commend_v when_o he_o say_v be_v wise_a like_o serpent_n mat._n 10._o 10._o thus_o you_o have_v a_o pattern_n before_o you_o they_o which_o convert_v soul_n to_o god_n may_v see_v how_o paul_n encounter_v with_o agrippa_n whereby_o no_o doubt_n the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v have_v we_o learn_v how_o to_o gratulate_v to_o our_o brethren_n their_o small_a beginning_n and_o praise_v the_o mite_n which_o come_v from_o they_o that_o have_v learn_v but_o a_o while_n and_o take_v hold_v of_o such_o as_o be_v come_v forward_o and_o draw_v they_o further_o with_o all_o the_o sign_n of_o love_n and_o not_o disdain_v those_o which_o come_v at_o the_o last_o hour_n to_o the_o vineyard_n though_o we_o ourselves_o have_v labour_v since_o the_o morning_n for_o he_o which_o be_v first_o may_v be_v last_o and_o he_o which_o seem_v last_o may_v be_v first_o therefore_o let_v no_o man_n insult_v beyond_o the_o list_n of_o humility_n as_o many_o make_v themselves_o unprofitable_a servant_n by_o count_v themselves_o more_o profitable_a than_o other_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n among_o the_o best_a which_o be_v like_o aaron_n and_o miriam_n a_o little_a proud_a of_o the_o spirit_n and_o contemn_v they_o which_o be_v so_o ignorant_a as_o agrippa_n who_o paul_n bear_v in_o his_o arm_n like_o the_o lose_a sheep_n to_o the_o sell_v again_o now_o paul_n have_v speak_v agrippa_n answer_v almost_o thou_o have_v parswade_v i_o to_o become_v a_o christian_n wherein_o you_o may_v see_v how_o paul_n speech_n wrought_v with_o he_o that_o he_o be_v almost_o convert_v with_o a_o word_n when_o it_o be_v speak_v in_o wisdom_n and_o love_n what_o power_n be_v in_o one_o sermon_n if_o you_o hear_v attentivelie_a agrippa_z be_v a_o heathen_a even_o now_o and_o worship_v idol_n and_o never_o hear_v a_o preacher_n before_o yet_o one_o sermon_n make_v he_o almost_o a_o christian_n as_o luke_n say_v of_o steeven_n when_o he_o dispute_v against_o the_o sirenians_n act_n the_o sixth_o chapter_n and_o the_o ten_o verse_n they_o can_v not_o resist_v the_o wisdom_n and_o the_o spirit_n by_o which_o he_o speak_v so_o agrippa_n can_v not_o risi_v the_o wisdom_n and_o the_o spiritte_v by_o which_o paul_n speak_v but_o be_v so_o fetter_v with_o the_o holy_a chain_n that_o as_o paul_n be_v captain_n to_o festus_n so_o agrippa_n now_o be_v captive_a to_o paul_n the_o word_n have_v he_o in_o band_n like_o a_o prisoner_n and_o make_v he_o confess_v against_o himself_o before_o festus_n that_o he_o be_v almost_o a_o christian_n for_o paul_n speech_n to_o the_o amaze_v of_o that_o obstinate_a precedent_n and_o wonder_v of_o all_o that_o stand_v by_o to_o see_v a_o king_n a_o heathen_a and_o a_o idolator_n which_o sit_v to_o judge_v to_o be_v so_o change_v with_o a_o word_n of_o a_o captive_a from_o his_o opinion_n

convert_v agrippa_n which_o will_v not_o preach_v in_o band_n nor_o in_o liberty_n happy_a agrippa_n not_o by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o king_n but_o by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o christian_n happy_a agrippa_n not_o by_o the_o present_n which_o thou_o receive_v of_o festus_n but_o by_o the_o word_n which_o thou_o hear_v of_o paul_n thou_o come_v to_o see_v but_o god_n bring_v thou_o to_o hear_v thy_o intent_n be_v to_o gratulate_v festus_n but_o now_o thou_o may_v gratulate_v paul_n the_o captive_n be_v better_a to_o thou_o than_o the_o precedent_n for_o festus_n have_v show_v thou_o but_o his_o pomp_n but_o paul_n have_v show_v thou_o his_o saviour_n and_o persuade_v thou_o to_o become_v a_o christian_n almost_o say_v agrippa_n but_o not_o altogether_o here_o you_o may_v see_v your_o pittance_n how_o you_o measure_v god_n with_o almost_o and_o serve_v he_o by_o half_n which_o have_v give_v all_o 5._o like_o ananias_n which_o bring_v a_o part_n and_o keep_v a_o part_n behind_o this_o be_v our_o worship_n of_o god_n though_o we_o will_v not_o say_v for_o shame_n with_o agrippa_n that_o we_o be_v but_o almost_a christian_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o almost_o when_o we_o will_v be_v count_v altogether_o we_o go_v before_o he_o in_o hypocrisy_n and_o come_v behind_o he_o in_o modesty_n for_o agrippa_n will_v not_o show_v more_o than_o he_o have_v to_o be_v count_v better_a than_o he_o be_v though_o altogether_o have_v be_v as_o ready_a as_o almost_o as_o it_o be_v to_o we_o yet_o when_o almost_o be_v all_o he_o say_v almost_o not_o altogether_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o flax_n begin_v to_o smoke_n though_o it_o do_v not_o burn_v the_o first_o temper_n be_v cold_a the_o next_o be_v lukewarm_a the_o last_o be_v hot_a almost_o be_v first_o and_o altogether_o be_v last_o and_o many_o come_v between_o before_o we_o can_v go_v from_o one_o to_o another_o agrippa_n confess_v that_o almost_o be_v all_o and_o here_o he_o stay_v to_o hear_v what_o paul_n will_v say_v to_o instruct_v he_o far_o paul_n thou_o have_v persuade_v i_o almost_o to_o become_v a_o christian_n it_o be_v like_o the_o faint_a confession_n of_o he_o that_o weep_v and_o say_v i_o believe_v lord_n help_v my_o unbelief_n i_o be_o a_o christian_n teach_v i_o to_o be_v a_o christian_n therefore_o they_o which_o descant_n upon_o his_o name_n do_v note_n that_o agrippa_n be_v as_o much_o as_o aegre_fw-la pario_fw-la which_o signify_v he_o which_o hard_o labour_v and_o bring_v forth_o with_o pain_n as_o agrippa_n do_v nabal_n be_v his_o name_n say_v abigail_n and_o folly_n be_v with_o he_o so_o agrippa_n be_v his_o name_n and_o difficulty_n be_v with_o he_o for_o hard_a and_o scarce_o be_v his_o conception_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o christian_a

very_a wicked_a have_v labour_v to_o put_v on_o this_o vizard_n as_o we_o read_v of_o pharaoh_n who_o to_o cover_v his_o foolishness_n 10._o say_v come_v let_v we_o do_v wise_o and_o again_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o grecian_n seek_v after_o wisdom_n 22._o even_o the_o nation_n which_o god_n call_v the_o foolish_a nation_n 21._o do_v seek_v after_o wisdom_n that_o be_v they_o will_v have_v the_o name_n of_o wisdom_n but_o this_o wisdom_n which_o moses_n call_v wisdom_n be_v count_v foolishness_n 21_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v say_v paul_n mean_v how_o the_o foolish_a count_n preach_v foolishness_n 〈…〉_o again_o foolishness_n to_o the_o gentile_n mean_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n seem_v like_o a_o foolish_a thing_n unto_o many_o for_o that_o which_o christ_n say_v unto_o peter_n he_o may_v say_v almost_o to_o all_o 23_o they_o do_v not_o savour_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n as_o anah_n devise_v a_o new_a creature_n 24._o so_o they_o have_v find_v out_o another_o wisdom_n which_o be_v call_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n 7_o they_o remember_v be_v wise_a as_o serpent_n 1●_n but_o they_o forget_v be_v simple_a as_o dove_n he_o which_o be_v like_o achitophel_n be_v count_v a_o deep_a couns●●ler_n 7_o he_o which_o be_v like_o machivel_n be_v count_v a_o wise_a fellow_n alas_o how_o easy_a a_o matter_n be_v it_o to_o deceive_v &_o counterfeit_v and_o play_v the_o subtle_a serpent_n if_o a_o man_n will_v set_v his_o head_n unto_o it_o can_v not_o david_n go_v as_o far_o as_o achitophel_n can_v not_o paul_n show_v as_o much_o cunning_a as_o tertullus_n 2._o yes_o yes_o if_o they_o be_v not_o teach_v to_o be_v simple_a as_o dove_n 6._o but_o this_o wisdom_n come_v not_o by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n but_o by_o the_o forgetfulness_n of_o death_n man_n do_v not_o use_v to_o think_v of_o death_n when_o they_o go_v about_o such_o matter_n but_o say_v like_o the_o serpent_n 3_o we_o shall_v not_o die_v two_o thing_n i_o note_v in_o these_o word_n first_o that_o if_o we_o will_v find_v wisdom_n we_o must_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o seek_v she_o they_o that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v we_o apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o it_o touch_v the_o first_o moses_n find_v some_o fault_n with_o himself_o that_o for_o all_o he_o have_v hear_v &_o see_v and_o observe_v and_o be_v count_v wise_a yet_o he_o be_v new_a to_o begin_v and_o have_v not_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o learn_v wisdom_n 2._o like_o the_o wise_a man_n which_o say_v i_o be_o more_o foolish_a than_o any_o man_n i_o have_v not_o the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o man_n in_o i_o so_o unsatiable_a and_o covetous_a as_o i_o may_v say_v be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n the_o more_o wisdom_n and_o faith_n and_o zeal_n they_o have_v the_o more_o they_o desire_v moses_n speak_v of_o wisdom_n as_o if_o it_o be_v physic_n which_o do_v no_o good_a before_o it_o be_v apply_v and_o the_o part_n to_o apply_v it_o too_o be_v the_o heart_n where_o all_o man_n affection_n be_v to_o love_v it_o and_o cherish_v it_o like_o a_o kind_a hostess_n when_o the_o heart_n seek_v it_o findetha_n though_o it_o be_v bring_v unto_o she_o like_o abraham_n ram_n therefore_o god_n say_v they_o shall_v seek_v i_o 13._o &_o find_v i_o because_o they_o shall_v 〈◊〉_d i_o with_o their_o 〈◊〉_d as_o though_o they_o shall_v not_o find_v he_o with_o all_o their_o seek_n unless_o they_o do_v seek_v he_o with_o their_o heart_n therefore_o the_o way_n to_o get_v wisdom_n be_v to_o apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v your_o call_n and_o live_v to_o which_o you_o be_v bind_v prentice_n a_o man_n may_v apply_v his_o ear_n &_o his_o eye_n as_o many_o truant_n do_v to_o their_o book_n &_o yet_o never_o prove_v scholar_n but_o from_o that_o day_n which_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o apply_v his_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n he_o learn_v more_o in_o a_o month_n after_o than_o he_o do_v in_o a_o year_n before_o nay_o then_o ever_o he_o do_v in_o his_o life_n even_o as_o you_o see_v the_o wicked_a because_o they_o apply_v their_o heart_n to_o wickedness_n how_o fast_o they_o proceed_v how_o easy_o and_o how_o quick_o they_o become_v perfect_a swearer_n expert_a drunkard_n cunning_a deceiver_n so_o if_o you_o can_v apply_v your_o heart_n as_o thorough_o to_o knowledge_n and_o goodness_n you_o may_v become_v like_o the_o apostle_n which_o teach_v you_o therefore_o when_o solomon_n show_v man_n the_o way_n how_o to_o come_v by_o wisdom_n he_o speak_v often_o of_o the_o heart_n as_o give_v thy_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n 10._o let_v wisdom_n enter_v into_o thy_o heart_n get_v wisdom_n keep_v wisdom_n 8._o embrace_v wisdom_n as_o though_o a_o man_n go_v a_o woo_n for_o wisdom_n wisdom_n be_v like_o god_n daughter_n that_o he_o give_v to_o the_o man_n that_o love_v she_o and_o sue_v for_o she_o and_o mean_v to_o set_v she_o at_o his_o heart_n thus_o we_o have_v learn_v how_o to_o apply_v knowledge_n that_o it_o may_v do_v we_o good_a not_o to_o our_o ear_n like_o they_o which_o hear_v sermon_n only_o nor_o to_o our_o tongue_n like_v they_o which_o make_v table_n talk_v of_o religion_n but_o to_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v say_v like_o the_o virgin_n 1._o my_o heart_n do_v magnify_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o heart_n will_v apply_v it_o to_o the_o ear_n 14_o and_o to_o the_o tongue_n as_o christ_n say_v out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v the_o last_o point_n be_v that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v we_o to_o apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n moses_n commend_v not_o many_o book_n to_o make_v a_o wise_a man_n learn_v but_o as_o david_n commend_v one_o book_n in_o stead_n of_o many_o 2._o meditate_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n day_n and_o night_n for_o the_o reading_z of_o many_o book_n say_v solomon_n be_v but_o weariness_n to_o the_o flesh_n 12._o therefore_o as_o though_o moses_n have_v mark_v what_o do_v move_v he_o most_o to_o seek_v after_o god_n he_o pray_v that_o that_o thought_n may_v run_v in_o his_o mind_n still_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n as_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o death_n so_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n and_o this_o be_v one_o it_o make_v a_o man_n to_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n for_o when_o he_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v but_o a_o short_a time_n to_o live_v he_o be_v careful_a to_o spend_v it_o well_o 26._o like_o moses_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o he_o consider_v how_o he_o have_v but_o a_o season_n to_o live_v he_o choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n than_o to_o enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o old_a man_n fast_o and_o watch_v and_o prepare_v themselves_o more_o than_o young_a because_o they_o think_v themselves_o near_o the_o door_n like_o old_a isaac_n which_o when_o he_o be_v blind_a for_o age_n say_v unto_o esau_n 2._o behold_v i_o be_o now_o old_a and_o know_v not_o the_o day_n of_o my_o death_n that_o be_v because_o i_o be_o old_a i_o look_v to_o die_v short_o and_o therefore_o as_o esay_n teach_v ezechias_n 1_o to_o set_v all_o thing_n in_o order_n before_o he_o die_v so_o he_o call_v his_o elder_a son_n to_o who_o he_o think_v that_o the_o inheritance_n belong_v that_o he_o may_v bless_v he_o before_o he_o die_v this_o wisdom_n the_o father_n call_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o we_o call_v the_o best_a because_o it_o be_v dear_a buy_v it_o be_v hard_a for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v of_o a_o short_a life_n and_o think_v evil_a or_o to_o think_v of_o a_o long_a life_n and_o think_v well_o therefore_o when_o jeremie_n have_v number_v all_o the_o calamity_n &_o sin_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o last_o he_o impute_v all_o to_o this_o 9_o she_o remember_v not_o her_o end_n so_o if_o i_o may_v judge_v why_o natural_a man_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o pomp_n why_o great_a man_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o honour_n and_o dignity_n why_o covetous_a worldling_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o gain_n why_o voluptuous_a epicure_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o pleasure_n i_o may_v say_v with_o jeremie_n they_o rememember_v not_o their_o end_n we_o never_o covet_v the_o same_o thing_n live_v and_o die_v therefore_o when_o solomon_n have_v speak_v of_o all_o the_o vanity_n of_o man_n at_o last_o he_o oppose_v this_o memorandum_n as_o a_o counterpoise_v against_o they_o all_o 9_o remember_v that_o for_o all_o those_o thing_n thou_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v man_n will_v never_o speak_v as_o they_o speak_v nor_o
