judgement_n by_o the_o law_n and_o by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v and_o contain_v there_o so_o then_o let_v god_n seat_n be_v set_v up_o by_o have_v his_o word_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o let_v we_o consider_v thorough_o whether_o we_o have_v walk_v as_o he_o command_v and_o whether_o we_o have_v not_o swerve_v from_o his_o word_n and_o if_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o condemn_v ourselves_o and_o furthermore_o if_o he_o grant_v we_o the_o grace_n too_o obey_v he_o although_o there_o be_v many_o vice_n in_o we_o yet_o notwithstanding_o so_o that_o our_o chief_a mark_n have_v be_v to_o obey_v he_o let_v it_o content_v we_o to_o be_v allow_v of_o he_o though_o the_o world_n condemn_v we_o and_o let_v it_o not_o grieve_v we_o that_o the_o world_n charge_v we_o with_o slander_n so_o that_o god_n reach_v we_o his_o hand_n and_o accept_v we_o and_o show_v that_o he_o like_v well_o of_o our_o life_n when_o we_o be_v at_o this_o point_n let_v the_o dog_n bark_n at_o we_o so_o long_o as_o they_o can_v bite_v we_o and_o although_o we_o seem_v by_o the_o report_n of_o our_o enemy_n to_o be_v the_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o let_v we_o bear_v all_o thing_n patient_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v two_o point_n to_o note_v the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o give_v ourselves_o to_o ambition_n and_o vanity_n to_o seek_v our_o own_o praise_n before_o man_n &_o to_o exempt_v ourselves_o from_o god_n judgement_n but_o contrariwise_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o feel_v how_o terrible_a god_n wrath_n be_v and_o to_o examine_v well_o our_o own_o conscience_n to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o faulty_a before_o he_o when_o we_o have_v obtain_v this_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o god_n have_v grant_v we_o the_o grace_n too_o walk_v upright_o so_o as_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o allow_v we_o let_v we_o bear_v the_o slander_n and_o false_a accusation_n of_o the_o world_n patient_o and_o tarry_v till_o god_n show_v our_o soundness_n open_o and_o make_v it_o to_o shine_v as_o the_o break_n of_o the_o day_n according_a as_o he_o have_v promise_v too_o do_v and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o point_n yet_o notwithstanding_o as_o touch_v that_o job_n say_v that_o he_o will_v bear_v the_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v make_v against_o he_o as_o a_o crown_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o process_n whereby_o he_o shall_v be_v charge_v after_o that_o sort_n with_o his_o fault_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v always_o a_o honour_n unto_o we_o afore_o man_n too_o have_v a_o good_a case_n and_o sure_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o find_v a_o better_a case_n than_o saint_n paul_n be_v and_o that_o he_o have_v serve_v god_n faithful_o in_o his_o office_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o fail_v not_o to_o be_v charge_v and_o accuse_v false_o and_o what_o do_v he_o for_o asmuch_o as_o he_o see_v that_o man_n be_v blind_a and_o ignorant_a and_o judge_v wrongful_o he_o appeal_v to_o the_o day_n of_o god_n i_o appeal_v say_v he_o to_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o see_v that_o saint_n paul_n be_v constrain_v too_o use_v such_o remedy_n according_a as_o oftentimes_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o be_v deface_v and_o that_o the_o world_n hold_v we_o for_o wicked_a so_o as_o we_o be_v disgrace_v because_o the_o wicked_a be_v so_o shameless_a that_o all_o be_v one_o with_o they_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o man_n by_o hook_n or_o by_o crook_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o go_v still_o with_o our_o head_n upright_o and_o why_o for_o we_o may_v appeal_v unto_o god_n for_o our_o warrant_n as_o we_o see_v the_o prophte_n do_v when_o jeremy_n say_v lord_n if_o i_o be_v a_o deceiver_n thou_o have_v deceive_v i_o it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v lay_v to_o his_o charge_n that_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o beguile_v the_o people_n well_o say_v he_o if_o it_o be_v as_o you_o say_v then_o have_v god_n deceive_v i_o when_o he_o speak_v after_o that_o manner_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o there_o be_v any_o deceit_n or_o guile_n in_o god_n but_o he_o do_v bold_o repress_v all_o the_o slander_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o he_o say_v arm_v yourselves_o against_o god_n for_o i_o know_v that_o he_o will_v maintain_v my_o quarrel_n and_o isaiah_n report_v that_o he_o be_v reject_v of_o man_n and_o as_o great_o reproach_v and_o despise_v as_o can_v be_v say_v yet_o will_v the_o lord_n answer_v for_o i_o so_o then_o whensoever_o we_o be_v deface_v and_o oppress_v by_o man_n and_o blame_v by_o the_o whole_a world_n yet_o shall_v we_o not_o fail_v to_o have_v a_o crown_n of_o glory_n if_o we_o have_v record_n before_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n say_v that_o he_o will_v overthrow_v all_o the_o slander_n that_o shall_v be_v lay_v against_o he_o no_o no_o say_v he_o i_o will_v not_o come_v as_o a_o offender_n that_o be_v condemn_v already_o in_o himself_o before_o that_o information_n be_v put_v in_o against_o he_o for_o he_o be_v convict_v in_o his_o own_o conscience_n of_o the_o misdeed_n that_o he_o have_v do_v but_o i_o will_v come_v as_o a_o prince_n and_o undoubted_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o their_o judge_n when_o they_o be_v wrongful_o oppress_v by_o man_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o dare_v more_o bold_o appear_v refer_v themselves_o whole_o unto_o god_n and_o rest_v in_o he_o than_o those_o dare_v which_o condemn_v they_o through_o malice_n violence_n and_o tyranny_n whereas_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n do_v now_o adays_o condemn_v the_o faithful_a to_o be_v burn_v and_o in_o do_v thereof_o do_v sit_v under_o their_o clothes_n of_o estate_n do_v we_o not_o think_v that_o gallows_n be_v more_o honourable_a whereon_o a_o martyr_n shall_v be_v torment_v or_o a_o stake_n that_o be_v set_v up_o for_o a_o child_n of_o god_n to_o be_v turn_v at_o yes_o for_o that_o surmount_v all_o the_o throne_n of_o the_o world_n king_n &_o prince_n together_o with_o all_o their_o judge_n must_v needs_o through_o their_o wickedness_n unhallow_a the_o seat_n that_o be_v hallow_v and_o

which_o have_v set_v they_o there_o and_o so_o they_o make_v those_o place_n shameful_a and_o detestable_a which_o notwithstanding_o of_o theirselue_n be_v honourable_a contrariwise_o although_o a_o stake_n or_o a_o gibbet_n be_v a_o lothsomething_n to_o the_o worldward_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o a_o martyr_n and_o a_o child_n of_o god_n bring_v a_o good_a conscience_n thither_o and_o suffer_v there_o in_o a_o good_a quarrel_n he_o sanctify_v the_o same_o which_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n curse_v so_o they_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o job_n say_v that_o if_o god_n will_v be_v so_o gracious_a to_o he_o as_o to_o answer_v he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o give_v he_o leave_v to_o maintain_v his_o innocency_n and_o to_o hear_v he_o declare_v his_o life_n he_o will_v come_v with_o a_o lofty_a countenance_n like_o a_o prince_n and_o not_o droop_v like_o a_o offendor_n and_o he_o will_v bold_o receive_v all_o the_o book_n that_o can_v be_v write_v against_o he_o take_v they_o as_o a_o ornament_n crown_n or_o garland_n this_o be_v it_o also_o which_o ought_v to_o comfort_v we_o namely_o our_o walk_n in_o uprightness_n before_o god_n and_o our_o indever_v to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o for_o they_o if_o the_o world_n be_v unthankful_a and_o man_n do_v we_o wrong_v and_o degrade_v we_o it_o make_v no_o matter_n so_o we_o can_v protest_v before_o god_n that_o our_o case_n be_v good_a and_o also_o that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v so_o when_o we_o be_v draw_v before_o man_n for_o it_o be_v a_o shameful_a thing_n to_o say_v god_n be_v my_o witness_n when_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o do_n be_v not_o answerable_a to_o it_o according_a as_o many_o man_n call_v god_n to_o record_v rash_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v know_v to_o be_v clean_o contrary_a but_o if_o we_o will_v be_v allow_v of_o god_n we_o must_v so_o deal_v as_o the_o world_n may_v bear_v witness_n of_o our_o uprightness_n when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o hear_n and_o we_o must_v have_v our_o mouth_n open_a to_o declare_v how_o the_o matter_n go_v and_o to_o disprove_v the_o slander_n that_o shall_v be_v lay_v against_o we_o furthermore_o when_o we_o have_v this_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o we_o
thing_n of_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n make_v we_o but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o bildad_n say_n that_o the_o memorial_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v perish_v let_v we_o mark_v that_o his_o so_o say_v be_v a_o curse_n peculiar_o belong_v to_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o for_o they_o be_v drunken_a in_o their_o foolish_a ambition_n so_o as_o they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o their_o name_n shall_v never_o fade_v in_o the_o world_n but_o man_n shall_v have_v it_o in_o remembrance_n for_o ever_o but_o we_o see_v how_o it_o go_v clean_o contrary_a with_o they_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o they_o turmoil_n themselves_o after_o that_o sort_n it_o be_v too_o have_v man_n to_o talk_v of_o they_o well_o then_o be_v the_o despiser_n of_o god_n desirous_a to_o make_v themselves_o renown_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n god_n will_v turn_v it_o quite_o and_o clean_o to_o the_o contrary_n for_o if_o their_o remembrance_n continue_v it_o shall_v be_v in_o reproach_n and_o man_n shall_v not_o speak_v of_o they_o but_o in_o scorn_n and_o mockage_n and_o as_o for_o they_o that_o have_v be_v carry_v away_o with_o this_o say_v vain_a desire_n do_v we_o not_o see_v that_o god_n have_v bury_v they_o so_o as_o man_n can_v no_o more_o tell_v what_o be_v become_v of_o they_o whereas_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v talk_v of_o while_n the_o world_n endure_v and_o whereas_o they_o themselves_o surmise_a that_o every_o of_o they_o shall_v become_v great_a for_o although_o they_o see_v many_o go_v before_o they_o yet_o do_v every_o of_o they_o think_v with_o himself_o i_o shall_v be_v chief_a yet_o have_v god_n bury_v they_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o if_o man_n speak_v of_o they_o after_o what_o manner_n be_v it_o every_o man_n be_v make_v privy_a too_o their_o naughtiness_n and_o shame_n and_o do_v not_o this_o come_v of_o the_o say_a curse_n of_o god_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o bildad_n have_v express_v here_o the_o chief_a thing_n that_o those_o kind_n of_o man_n seek_v which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o world_n and_o that_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o mark_v for_o if_o god_n make_v our_o name_n to_o perish_v too_o the_o worldward_n what_o loze_n we_o by_o it_o what_o harm_n have_v we_o by_o it_o for_o we_o know_v our_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n be_v glad_a say_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n too_o his_o disciple_n for_o your_o name_n be_v write_v in_o god_n register_n too_o your_o everlasting_a salvation_n be_v not_o this_o enough_o to_o content_v we_o we_o be_v not_o like_o these_o fool_n that_o have_v none_o other_o immortality_n than_o to_o make_v themselves_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o for_o that_o be_v overgreat_a fondness_n but_o we_o know_v that_o god_n have_v write_v our_o name_n in_o his_o book_n and_o ingroce_v the_o record_n with_o his_o own_o hand_n that_o be_v too_o say_v in_o his_o own_o everlasting_a determination_n for_o god_n hand_n be_v the_o unchangeable_a ordinance_n that_o he_o have_v appoint_v and_o afterward_o ratify_v the_o whole_a with_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o final_o seal_v it_o by_o the_o work_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v our_o memorial_n there_o among_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n and_o among_o the_o patriarch_n prophet_n and_o apostle_n have_v we_o not_o cause_v too_o be_v concontent_v and_o so_o albeit_o that_o our_o remembrance_n be_v raze_v out_o of_o the_o world_n yet_o shall_v we_o looze_z nothing_o by_o it_o but_o we_o see_v that_o god_n make_v the_o memorial_n of_o his_o servant_n to_o be_v bliss_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v despise_v for_o a_o time_n and_o count_v in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v dirt_n and_o dung_n as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v for_o he_o liken_v they_o to_o gut_n full_a of_o filthiness_n that_o be_v cast_v away_o thus_o than_o the_o faithful_a be_v exercise_v for_o a_o time_n yea_o &_o they_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o man_n as_o though_o they_o bear_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n but_o in_o the_o end_n god_n make_v their_o righteousness_n to_o shine_v forth_o as_o the_o break_n of_o the_o day_n and_o they_o be_v have_v in_o bless_a remembrance_n we_o see_v that_o abraham_n in_o his_o time_n be_v despise_v and_o shake_v off_o what_o may_v a_o man_n think_v of_o jacob_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o their_o memorial_n be_v bliss_v every_o man_n run_v upon_o david_n they_o curse_v he_o they_o spite_v he_o he_o become_v as_o a_o worm_n of_o the_o ground_n he_o be_v make_v a_o scorn_n and_o mockingstocke_n to_o the_o very_a rascal_n and_o every_o man_n do_v as_o it_o be_v loath_a he_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v that_o his_o remembrance_n be_v bliss_v yea_o even_o in_o god_n church_n for_o as_o for_o the_o unbeliever_n a_o man_n must_v not_o seek_v to_o have_v any_o renoun_n or_o remembrance_n among_o they_o because_o they_o be_v wretched_a blind_a soul_n that_o can_v judge_v nor_o be_v able_a too_o discern_v between_o white_a and_o black_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o sentence_n and_o consequent_o here_o be_v add_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o light_n into_o darkness_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v drive_v out_o of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v neither_o child_n nor_o graundchildren-among_a the_o people_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v no_o overliver_fw-mi or_o heir_n in_o the_o land_n where_o they_o dwell_v here_o bildad_n confirm_v the_o matter_n that_o he_o have_v treat_v of_o which_o be_v that_o if_o god_n make_v the_o wicked_a to_o prosper_v that_o be_v not_o always_o and_o that_o be_v very_o true_a for_o what_o happiness_n be_v there_o in_o their_o state_n see_v that_o all_o their_o laughter_n must_v be_v turn_v into_o sorrow_n so_o then_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o present_a light_n of_o the_o wicked_a serve_v but_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o the_o way_n of_o darkness_n when_o we_o hear_v this_o if_o we_o be_v in_o darkness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o adversity_n according_a also_o as_o the_o word_n import_v so_o as_o we_o wot_v not_o on_o which_o side_n to_o turn_v we_o because_o we_o be_v beset_v with_o so_o many_o misery_n round_o about_o as_o we_o see_v no_o way_n out_o of_o they_o well_o let_v we_o for_o our_o part_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o same_o darkness_n be_v it_o never_o so_o great_a shall_v be_v a_o path_n to_o lead_v we_o to_o god_n light_n for_o he_o have_v wonderful_a mean_n to_o lead_v his_o child_n too_o salvation_n yea_o even_o when_o he_o seem_v full_o mind_v to_o destroy_v they_o be_v we_o then_o as_o it_o be_v

we_o to_o light_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o text_n contrariwise_o do_v we_o see_v the_o wicked_a puff_v up_o with_o their_o nobility_n and_o make_v great_a

that_o be_v too_o wit_n till_o he_o bring_v darkness_n upon_o they_o thus_o as_o we_o see_v here_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a thing_n for_o we_o to_o know_v which_o be_v that_o although_o god_n make_v the_o wicked_a to_o prosper_v for_o a_o time_n their_o case_n be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o it_o for_o always_o the_o end_n must_v be_v look_v unto_o and_o contrariwise_o though_o the_o

the_o end_n which_o be_v that_o by_o this_o darkness_n god_n mean_v too_o bring_v they_o light_n again_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v have_v neither_o child_n nor_o

respect_n i_o utter_o despise_v and_o defy_v the_o whole_a world_n let_v i_o have_v a_o strong_a party_n to_o put_v in_o accusation_n against_o i_o yea_o and_o let_v he_o make_v a_o great_a book_n of_o it_o it_o shall_v not_o grieve_v i_o to_o carry_v it_o upon_o my_o shoulder_n for_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o heavy_a burden_n to_o i_o but_o rather_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o crown_n to_o i_o and_o a_o ornament_n to_o deck_v i_o withal_o now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o job_n mean_v to_o say_v namely_o that_o he_o have_v be_v no_o such_o man_n as_o he_o be_v repute_v and_o take_v to_o be_v according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o his_o friend_n condemn_v he_o for_o a_o reprobate_n because_o he_o endure_v so_o great_a torment_n and_o it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o god_n mean_v to_o utter_v his_o vengeance_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o mirror_n of_o wicked_a man_n who_o god_n do_v utter_o destroy_v job_n therefore_o protest_v that_o he_o be_v no_o such_o man_n and_o therewithal_o desire_v no_o more_o but_o to_o have_v audience_n before_o who_o not_o before_o man_n only_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v answer_v he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v make_v his_o righteousness_n to_o be_v know_v and_o then_o will_v he_o maintain_v that_o his_o suffering_n be_v not_o for_o his_o sin_n namely_o if_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v thorough_o consider_v and_o that_o god_n will_v pronounce_v sentence_n as_o by_o way_n of_o ordinary_a process_n and_o not_o by_o prerogative_n of_o his_o high_a and_o secret_a power_n so_o as_o man_n may_v not_o know_v why_o he_o work_v after_o that_o manner_n and_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o job_n shall_v make_v that_o wish_n and_o why_o for_o diverse_a time_n god_n chastice_v we_o according_a too_o the_o threaten_n that_o be_v set_v down_o in_o his_o law_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o be_v punish_v it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v the_o most_o ordinary_a manner_n you_o see_v that_o god_n suffer_v not_o our_o misdeed_n unpunished_a and_o after_o he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o rule_n whereby_o to_o live_v well_o he_o add_v threaten_n say_v if_o you_o break_v my_o commandment_n i_o will_v punish_v you_o with_o war_n pestilence_n and_o famine_n with_o sickness_n poverty_n and_o diverse_a other_o thing_n well_o then_o if_o we_o be_v beat_v with_o god_n rod_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o lay_v our_o life_n too_o his_o law_n and_o if_o we_o find_v ourselves_o to_o have_v do_v amiss_o there_o our_o indictment_n be_v thorough_o frame_v and_o our_o judgement_n already_o give_v upon_o we_o and_o there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o execution_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o ordinary_a manner_n that_o god_n use_v in_o chastise_v man_n but_o in_o job_n he_o have_v a_o other_o respect_n for_o he_o punish_v not_o he_o for_o his_o sin_n not_o that_o he_o deserve_v it_o not_o for_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n so_o righteous_a that_o can_v exempt_v himself_o from_o god_n correction_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o god_n have_v not_o a_o respect_n to_o job_n offence_n he_o punish_v he_o not_o in_o that_o measure_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o misdeed_n but_o to_o try_v the_o faith_n and_o patience_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o also_o to_o make_v he_o a_o example_n to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n job_n have_v his_o mouth_n shut_v so_o as_o he_o wist_v not_o what_o to_o say_v and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o not_o to_o inquire_v any_o other_o cause_n why_o he_o be_v handle_v so_o rough_o it_o be_v a_o secret_a unknown_a to_o man_n then_o be_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n that_o job_n desire_v god_n to_o answer_v he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v too_o enter_v into_o plea_n with_o he_o and_o to_o suffer_v he_o to_o maintain_v his_o own_o soundness_n and_o to_o let_v he_o know_v why_o he_o endure_v such_o torment_n but_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o man_n too_o challenge_n god_n after_o that_o sort_n for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v handle_v we_o after_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v stoop_v to_o he_o although_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v not_o apparent_a unto_o we_o then_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o visit_v we_o with_o rigour_n and_o we_o

that_o although_o his_o judgement_n be_v a_o bottomless_a deep_a yet_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v just_a and_o rightful_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v for_o in_o good_a faith_n there_o be_v not_o a_o more_o terrible_a thing_n than_o if_o god_n shall_v enter_v into_o law_n with_o we_o if_o he_o set_v himselse_a against_o we_o alas_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o then_o if_o we_o fall_v too_o provoke_v of_o he_o and_o desire_v too_o go_v too_o law_n with_o he_o be_v not_o to_o our_o great_a confusion_n and_o this_o doctrine_n be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v

that_o must_v not_o be_v do_v to_o any_o other_o end_n than_o too_o profit_n ourselves_o by_o his_o correction_n and_o to_o apply_v our_o chastisement_n to_o our_o instruction_n when_o we_o know_v

unto_o that_o which_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o namely_o that_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o all_o respect_n and_o therefore_o that_o although_o we_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o

such_o a_o piteous_a hardheartedness_n in_o we_o but_o as_o for_o goodness_n we_o forgo_v it_o by-and-by_o there_o need_v nothing_o to_o thrust_v we_o from_o it_o we_o have_v a_o fair_a mirror_n

and_o here_o withal_o we_o see_v in_o this_o example_n of_o the_o person_n of_o eliu_n that_o god_n have_v always_o leave_v some_o good_a seed_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o darkness_n and_o that_o there_o have_v always_o be_v some_o good_a and_o holy_a doctrine_n and_o why_o to_o the_o end_n the_o unbeliever_n shall_v be_v leave_v unexcusable_a so_o as_o they_o can_v not_o allege_v that_o ignorance_n reign_v over_o all_o for_o whereof_o come_v it_o that_o god_n be_v not_o serve_v and_o worship_v pure_o but_o for_o that_o man_n turn_v their_o back_n upon_o he_o and_o they_o do_v not_o that_o through_o a_o simplicity_n whereunto_o they_o may_v give_v some_o colour_n of_o honesty_n but_o rather_o of_o a_o stubborn_a wilfulness_n man_n be_v loath_a to_o be_v beguile_v yea_o or_o to_o seem_v to_o be_v beguile_v but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n they_o shut_v their_o eye_n quench_v all_o the_o light_n that_o shine_v in_o they_o and_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o give_v over_o themselves_o to_o all_o trumpery_n this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o but_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o way_n well_o what_o have_v be_v treat_v of_o heretofore_o namely_o that_o although_o these_o man_n be_v no_o prophet_n of_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o doctrine_n that_o proceed_v from_o they_o have_v such_o a_o majesty_n as_o it_o may_v right_a well_o beseem_v the_o person_n of_o prophet_n true_a it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o they_o do_v misapply_v it_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v a_o excellent_a spirit_n in_o they_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v set_v out_o by_o they_o aught_o to_o be_v receive_v as_o out_o of_o the_o school_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o although_o these_o personage_n be_v so_o excellent_a yet_o be_v they_o not_o teach_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n but_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o if_o the_o law_n be_v publish_v at_o that_o time_n which_o thing_n be_v uncertain_a yet_o be_v they_o distant_a from_o the_o country_n of_o jury_n and_o have_v not_o any_o fellowship_n with_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o god_n have_v simple_o appoint_v for_o his_o people_n we_o see_v then_o that_o man_n which_o have_v no_o scripture_n nor_o any_o thing_n save_o the_o doctrine_n which_o no_n and_o his_o child_n have_v spr●●_n abroad_o after_o the_o flood_n be_v prophet_n of_o god_n and_o have_v a_o excellent_a spirit_n and_o although_o they_o dwell_v in_o a_o strange_a country_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o a_o knowledge_n sufficient_a too_o edify_v all_o the_o common_a people_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o world_n can_v not_o be_v excuse_v of_o ignorance_n for_o although_o idolatry_n reign_v in_o the_o time_n of_o there_o and_o nacor_v and_o that_o they_o themselves_o also_o be_v idolator_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o

the_o other_o three_o be_v exempt_v from_o the_o common_a corruption_n of_o that_o time_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o pure_a religion_n be_v not_o quite_o abolish_v among_o they_o but_o that_o
they_o have_v a_o sufficient_a doctrine_n to_o lead_v they_o to_o god_n and_o to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o the_o wilfulness_n and_o ignorance_n that_o be_v in_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o

that_o no_o excuse_n for_o they_o god_n therefore_o do_v let_v all_o man_n run_v astray_o and_o they_o be_v all_o drown_v in_o destruction_n nevertheless_o there_o continue_v always_o some_o seed_n

if_o a_o man_n shall_v wilful_o run_v headlong_o against_o a_o thing_n at_o high_a noon_n or_o like_o the_o stumble_n of_o a_o drunken_a man_n that_o reel_v aside_o though_o he_o see_v the_o right_a

it_o warn_v we_o to_o be_v the_o more_o ware_n in_o walk_v while_o we_o have_v the_o light_n with_o we_o i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o if_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a to_o we_o as_o to_o show_v

as_o they_o be_v worthy_a and_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o have_v forget_v the_o truth_n his_o vengeance_n must_v needs_o come_v upon_o they_o as_o a_o waterflood_n to_o overwhelm_v they_o and_o drown_v they_o in_o destruction_n but_o we_o on_o our_o side_n have_v jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n that_o shine_v upon_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o have_v our●_n

let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o blame_v here_o as_o a_o inordinate_a passion_n but_o it_o be_v a_o good_a and_o allowable_a mislike_v because_o it_o proceed_v of_o a_o zeal_n that_o eliu_n have_v towards_o god_n truth_n when_o he_o see_v job_n justify_v himself_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o be_v esteem_v himself_o more_o righteous_a than_o god._n job_n friend_n have_v not_o this_o

say_v he_o exceed_v measure_n and_o although_o his_o case_n be_v good_a yet_o do_v he_o handle_v it_o amiss_o and_o take_v a_o evil_a way_n with_o it_o eliu_o therefore_o mark_v job_n overshote_n of_o

a_o hundred_o time_n that_o the_o earth_n have_v swallow_a he_o up_o or_o that_o he_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n than_o to_o have_v think_v such_o a_o blasphemy_n and_o true_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o as_o often_o as_o he_o overshoot_v himself_o it_o be_v not_o to_o conclude_v full_o so_o but_o it_o be_v through_o the_o rage_a of_o his_o passion_n according_a as_o it_o

contain_v a_o good_a and_o very_a profitable_a doctrine_n for_o here_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o we_o may_v sometime_o happen_v to_o blaspheme_v god_n when_o we_o think_v not_o of_o it_o in_o what_o

bethink_v we_o of_o the_o vice_n which_o be_v so_o deep_o root_v in_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o think_v not_o to_o escape_v god_n hand_n by_o our_o startinghole_n and_o after_o as_o we_o be_v drunken_a in_o our_o sin_n so_o also_o think_v we_o that_o god_n have_v his_o eye_n shut_v and_o blindfold_a or_o else_o that_o he_o have_v a_o curtain_n draw_v afore_o he_o so_o as_o he_o can_v perceive_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o hide_v howbeit_o on_o the_o other_o side_n and_o for_o the_o second_o point_n let_v we_o mark_v how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o our_o darkness_n shall_v be_v discover_v before_o he_o when_o bee_n list_v and_o thereupon_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n that_o we_o think_v not_o ourselves_o to_o have_v make_v the_o better_a market_n where_o man_n be_v not_o

of_o such_o as_o be_v not_o privy_a to_o their_o wickedness_n for_o they_o they_o triumph_v and_o dare_v spite_n god_n himself_o but_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v gain_v nothing_o by_o our_o deceive_n of_o the_o world_n for_o how_o goodly_a show_v soever_o we_o have_v make_v in_o the_o end_n we_o must_v come_v before_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n who_o will_v open_v the_o book_n that_o be_v fast_o shut_v before_o and_o cause_v his_o great_a day_n too_o appear_v too_o the_o intent_n too_o bring_v all_o the_o darkness_n too_o light_v which_o as_o now_o keep_v thing_n in_o huckermucker_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v so_o often_o of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o in_o one_o place_n nor_o at_o one_o time_n only_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n before_o god_n but_o for_o what_o cause_n be_v this_o sentence_n so_o often_o repeat_v it_o be_v because_o we_o can_v be_v persuade_v of_o it_o for_o when_o we_o have_v eschew_v the_o shame_n of_o the_o world_n we_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n ought_v not_o too_o stir_v our_o filthiness_n nor_o too_o discover_v it_o but_o let_v we_o

that_o the_o holy_a ▪_o ghost_n do_v so_o often_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n will_v judge_v after_o another_o fashion_n than_o mortal_a man_n do_v now_o adays_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v purposely_o say_v here_o that_o the_o sinner_n shall_v not_o hide_v themselves_o there_o as_o if_o eliu_n shall_v say_v it_o come_v daily_o too_o pass_v that_o man_n eye_n be_v so_o dazzle_v as_o they_o take_v their_o vice_n for_o virtue_n yea_o and_o be_v so_o evil_o mind_v that_o it_o do_v they_o good_a to_o be_v flatter_v according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o when_o evil_a have_v full_a

true_o god_n need_v to_o raise_v up_o storm_n and_o whirlwind_n to_o make_v we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o speak_v but_o he_o must_v dispose_v we_o after_o another_o manner_n too_o come_v unto_o he_o according_a also_o as_o he_o do_v then_o if_o one_o man_n have_v hartbiting_n and_o trouble_n in_o his_o conscience_n and_o another_o be_v afflict_v with_o disease_n and_o the_o third_o

then_o see_v such_o rebelliousness_n in_o we_o he_o must_v needs_o use_v the_o manner_n and_o mean_n aforesaid_a to_o draw_v and_o win_v we_o to_o himself_o and_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v hear_v

this_o verse_n for_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n appear_v in_o a_o whirlwind_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o warrant_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o this_o book_n and_o not_o only_o that_o but_o we_o must_v also_o extend_v this_o authority_n unto_o his_o whole_a word_n there_o be_v yet_o this_o one_o thing_n more_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o if_o god_n begin_v to_o call_v we_o too_o he_o after_o a_o love_a manner_n and_o show_v himself_o rough_a &_o sharp_a in_o the_o end_n we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a but_o rather_o examine_v well_o our_o life_n to_o know_v whether_o we_o have_v obey_v he_o or_o no_o and_o in_o so_o do_v let_v we_o on_o the_o one_o side_n acknowledge_v his_o apparent_a goodness_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n consider_v that_o he_o must_v needs_o use_v the_o second_o mean_n to_o win_v we_o when_o he_o see_v that_o he_o gain_v nothing_o by_o his_o favourable_a deal_n which_o he_o have_v show_v we_o as_o for_o example_n god_n do_v sometime_o cocker_v we_o when_o he_o intend_v to_o take_v we_o for_o his_o own_o and_o to_o have_v we_o of_o his_o flock_n and_o he_o set_v forth_o his_o word_n unto_o we_o without_o send_v we_o any_o affliction_n very_o well_o we_o see_v it_o be_v his_o will_n so_o too_o do_v and_o we_o like_v well_o of_o it_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o profit_v not_o ourselves_o by_o it_o to_o be_v confirm_v in_o his_o goodness_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v to_o renounce_v our_o own_o wicked_a lust_n to_o forget_v the_o world_n and_o to_o give_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o for_o a_o time_n but_o in_o the_o end_n when_o he_o see_v we_o so_o reckless_a he_o begin_v to_o smite_v herein_o we_o ought_v too_o

gracious_o unto_o we_o and_o after_o a_o kindeharted_a and_o fatherly_a manner_n therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v speak_v to_o we_o with_o such_o vehemence_n sith_o he_o perceive_v that_o we_o will_v never_o come_v too_o he_o till_o he_o have_v prepare_v we_o after_o that_o fashion_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o win_v some_o by_o his_o bare_a word_n howbeit_o when_o he_o see_v othersome_a stubborn_a he_o send_v they_o some_o trouble_n and_o adversity_n and_o doubtless_o there_o be_v a_o number_n that_o have_v never_o come_v too_o the_o gospel_n nor_o never_o be_v touch_v right_o at_o the_o heart_n to_o obey_v god_n if_o he_o have_v not_o send_v they_o some_o token_n that_o he_o be_v mind_v to_o chastise_v they_o hereupon_o when_o they_o feel_v once_o by_o
