they_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o there_o be_v no_o superfluity_n in_o this_o text_n where_o eliu_n after_o he_o have_v show_v that_o the_o sinner_n which_o be_v quit_v at_o god_n hand_n will_v

to_o behold_v the_o patientness_n of_o the_o man_n that_o be_v set_v here_o before_o our_o eye_n according_a as_o s._n james_n exhort_v we_o for_o when_o god_n show_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v all_o the_o misery_n that_o he_o shall_v send_v upon_o we_o we_o can_v well_o afford_v to_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n so_o to_o do_v but_o yet_o there_o withal_o we_o allege_v

such_o a_o issue_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o better_a than_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n and_o to_o suffer_v peaceable_o whatsoever_o he_o send_v we_o until_o he_o

those_o that_o come_v unto_o job_n under_o pretence_n to_o comfort_v he_o and_o yet_o torment_v he_o much_o more_o than_o do_v his_o own_o misery_n and_o concern_v the_o answer_n that_o he_o use_v

to_o prick_v we_o always_o forward_o both_o to_o feed_v the_o evil_a and_o to_o increase_v it_o so_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v how_o job_n beside_o the_o misery_n that_o he_o endure_v be_v also_o

when_o we_o be_v smite_v and_o afflict_v in_o our_o body_n but_o also_o when_o the_o devil_n come_v to_o put_v a_o toy_n in_o our_o head_n that_o god_n be_v our_o deadly_a enemy_n and_o that_o it_o

too_o walk_v simple_o to_o who_o god_n have_v not_o give_v so_o great_a abundance_n than_o for_o such_o as_o have_v a_o great_a range_v the_o case_n be_v like_a as_o if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o some_o little_a boat_n and_o in_o some_o small_a river_n it_o be_v like_a enough_o that_o he_o may_v be_v toss_v and_o it_o be_v like_a enough_o that_o he_o may_v rush_v against_o some_o stub_n or_o against_o some_o bank_n of_o the_o river_n but_o he_o be_v not_o in_o such_o danger_n as_o he_o that_o be_v in_o a_o ship_n on_o the_o mid_n of_o the_o sea_n where_o the_o wave_n and_o storm_n be_v far_o more_o violent_a even_o so_o say_v i_o stand_v the_o case_n between_o the_o poor_a and_o the_o rich_a for_o sure_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o row_n upon_o the_o water_n where_o we_o may_v be_v toss_v with_o tempest_n and_o rush_v against_o some_o thing_n and_o evermore_o be_v in_o danger_n thus_o be_v the_o poor_a as_o it_o be_v on_o a_o little_a river_n but_o the_o

the_o rich_a sort_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o those_o to_o who_o god_n give_v the_o mean_a too_o hold_v themselves_o in_o simplicity_n we_o see_v therefore_o that_o here_o be_v a_o general_a lesson_n to_o serve_v for_o all_o man_n aswell_o great_a as_o small_a and_o that_o it_o behove_v each_o man_n to_o benefit_n himself_o by_o the_o example_n that_o be_v set_v here_o before_o our_o eye_n but_o yet_o herewithal_o the_o virtue_n of_o job_n be_v right_a commendable_a for_o we_o hear_v the_o judgement_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n how_o it_o be_v right_a hard_a for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n not_o for_o that_o riches_n do_v of_o themselves_o hinder_v we_o from_o serve_v god_n as_o i_o have_v say_v but_o it_o happen_v through_o our_o naughtiness_n and_o corruption_n that_o where_o as_o it_o become_v we_o to_o take_v occasion_n to_o be_v draw_v unto_o god_n by_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o we_o be_v the_o further_o draw_v back_o from_o he_o wherefore_o we_o see_v that_o job_n be_v a_o man_n of_o wonderful_a virtue_n see_v that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o such_o riches_n he_o have_v not_o his_o eye_n blindfold_a to_o conceive_v any_o pride_n in_o his_o heart_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v tread_v other_o folk_n under_o his_o foot_n or_o forget_v god_n or_o become_v a_o dissolute_a vain_a and_o pompous_a person_n but_o hold_v on_o his_o race_n which_o he_o have_v begin_v lo_o here_o the_o virtue_n that_o be_v commendable_a in_o he_o and_o this_o be_v do_v to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o we_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o be_v full_a equal_a with_o he_o yet_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v look_v to_o himself_o and_o go_v on_o forward_o to_o the_o mark_n that_o be_v set_v afore_o he_o furthermore_o we_o see_v also_o that_o riches_n of_o themselves_o be_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v as_o some_o fantastical_a person_n surmise_v who_o hold_v opinion_n that_o a_o rich_fw-fr man_n can_v not_o be_v a_o christian_n for_o let_v they_o find_v i_o any_o of_o the_o poor_a that_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o job_n in_o this_o virtue_n and_o then_o let_v they_o condemn_v riches_n but_o when_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v seek_v throughout_o all_o the_o poor_a man_n in_o the_o world_n hardly_o shall_v he_o find_v one_o that_o shall_v come_v any_o thing_n near_o this_o man_n see_v then_o that_o the_o case_n be_v so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o riches_n of_o themselves_o and_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v and_o special_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a blasphemy_n against_o god_n if_o a_o man_n find_v such_o fault_n with_o riches_n that_o he_o think_v the_o party_n which_o possess_v they_o to_o be_v utter_o mar_v for_o from_o whence_o come_v riches_n but_o from_o god_n therefore_o when_o a_o man_n condemn_v they_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o god_n and_o further_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o mark_n that_o god_n must_v needs_o work_v far_o more_o marvellous_o in_o a_o rich_a man_n than_o in_o a_o poor_a man_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o for_o i_o have_v already_o show_v the_o difficulty_n that_o a_o man_n have_v to_o maintain_v himself_o in_o simplicity_n and_o uprightness_n when_o he_o have_v abundance_n of_o good_n then_o have_v god_n need_v to_o utter_v a_o singular_a force_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o preserve_v rich_a man_n from_o corrupt_v of_o themselves_o but_o if_o a_o man_n despise_v such_o a_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v he_o not_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o god_n hereby_o than_o we_o be_v warn_v not_o to_o condemn_v riches_n in_o themselves_o like_o also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v show_v we_o by_o match_v the_o poor_a and_o the_o rich_a together_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o lazarus_n in_o saint_n luke_n he_o say_v there_o that_o the_o angel_n carry_v lazarus_n for_o albeit_o that_o he_o be_v a_o outcast_n among_o man_n &_o a_o poor_a creature_n of_o who_o no_o account_n be_v make_v in_o somuch_o that_o he_o be_v forsake_v of_o all_o man_n yet_o nevertheless_o behold_v how_o the_o angel_n carry_v his_o soul_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n and_o what_o be_v this_o abraham_n a_o man_n rich_a both_o in_o cattle_n and_o in_o money_n and_o in_o household_n and_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n save_v house_n and_o land_n for_o those_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o have_v because_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o tarry_v god_n leisure_n till_o he_o give_v he_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n to_o inherit_v true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o purchase_v a_o bury_a place_n but_o he_o have_v not_o any_o inheritance_n notwithstanding_o that_o his_o movable_n be_v very_o great_a therefore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o soul_n of_o lazarus_n carry_v by_o angel_n into_o the_o bosom_n of_o abraham_n who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a we_o perceive_v that_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a grace_n and_o goodness_n call_v both_o rich_fw-fr and_o poor_a to_o salvation_n and_o unto_o this_o purpose_n make_v that_o also_o which_o s._n paul_n say_v namely_o that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v for_o he_o speak_v of_o king_n and_o prince_n who_o of_o ordinary_a do_v missebehave_v themselves_o in_o their_o greatness_n and_o can_v not_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o stoop_v unto_o god_n yea_o it_o seem_v to_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v no_o mortal_a man_n and_o yet_o god_n pick_v out_o some_o of_o they_o to_o himself_o &_o will_v not_o have_v all_o to_o be_v lose_v and_o to_o perish_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v yet_o for_o all_o this_o the_o rich_a man_n must_v not_o flatter_v themselves_o but_o rather_o know_v how_o they_o stand_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o you_o where_o they_o may_v soon_o slide_v and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v among_o thorn_n so_o as_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o look_v diligent_o to_o themselves_o for_o be_v prick_v lo_o how_o each_o one_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v touch_v with_o carefulness_n to_o commend_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v according_a to_o his_o will._n and_o upon_o this_o say_n that_o job_n have_v seven_o son_n and_o three_o daughter_n i_o note_v how_o it_o do_v we_o too_o wit_n that_o god_n have_v send_v his_o blessing_n upon_o he_o to_o make_v he_o prosper_v by_o all_o mean_n and_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o we_o shall_v hereafter_o better_v see_v the_o cause_n why_o all_o this_o be_v express_v and_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v a_o incomparable_a virtue_n in_o job_n to_o bear_v patient_o god_n take_v away_o of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v put_v into_o his_o hand_n and_o it_o be_v very_o well_o declare_v also_o how_o his_o child_n behave_v themselves_o and_o how_o he_o himself_o also_o on_o his_o part_n govern_v they_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v do_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v understand_v that_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o he_o show_v by_o effect_n that_o he_o can_v dispose_v of_o his_o creature_n at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v at_o our_o wit_n end_n and_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n handle_v man_n so_o rough_o yet_o it_o become_v we_o to_o cast_v down_o our_o eye_n and_o to_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o to_o wait_v his_o leisure_n until_o he_o discover_v unto_o we_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o dispose_v
such_o wise_n as_o many_o of_o they_o yea_o even_o of_o the_o good_a man_n themselves_o shall_v think_v that_o they_o make_v no_o good_a cheer_n except_o they_o disguise_v themselves_o i_o can_v not_o

then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o job_n do_v not_o without_o cause_n mistrust_n and_o doubt_v least_o his_o child_n have_v sin_v against_o god_n see_v they_o make_v feast_n in_o such_o wise_a notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o faithful_a sort_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o now_o if_o it_o so_o be_v that_o where_o feast_n and_o banquet_n be_v best_a rule_v yet_o there_o be_v some_o fault_n that_o god_n mislike_v how_o be_v it_o with_o they_o that_o drive_v god_n out_o of_o their_o company_n &_o from_o their_o table_n as_o man_n be_v common_o wont_a to_o do_v for_o if_o we_o shall_v speak_v of_o feast_v whereat_o do_v man_n begin_v at_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n nay_o that_o will_v be_v think_v too_o sad_a a_o matter_n therefore_o the_o name_n of_o god_n must_v be_v bury_v have_v a_o man_n well_o suffize_v his_o appetite_n then_o be_v it_o no_o time_n to_o say_v grace_n for_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o remember_v the_o good_a cheer_n that_o they_o have_v make_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v swine_n for_o if_o a_o man_n make_v mention_n of_o god_n it_o will_v be_v think_v that_o all_o the_o pleasure_n which_o they_o have_v take_v in_o their_o feast_n be_v turn_v into_o sorrow_n and_o afterward_o all_o must_v run_v riot_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o talk_n but_o of_o ribawdrie_n and_o wantonness_n or_o rather_o of_o treachery_n and_o malice_n so_o as_o there_o shall_v be_v none_o other_o news_n but_o of_o backbite_a their_o neighbour_n and_o of_o practise_v device_n against_o this_o man_n and_o that_o man_n see_v what_o banquet_n breed_v now_o then_o sith_o that_o man_n be_v so_o incline_v to_o vice_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a but_o there_o must_v be_v some_o fault_n notwithstanding_o that_o they_o give_v not_o themselves_o the_o bridle_n in_o all_o point_n i_o pray_v you_o then_o must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o gulf_n of_o hell_n where_o they_o meet_v together_o to_o make_v compacte_n of_o wickedness_n and_o treason_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o this_o sentence_n to_o the_o end_n that_o sith_o we_o know_v man_n to_o be_v so_o much_o incline_v to_o vice_n that_o they_o mar_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o turn_v it_o into_o evil_n we_o may_v take_v the_o more_o heed_n to_o ourselves_o that_o when_o we_o eat_v and_o drink_v one_o with_o a_o other_o we_o confess_v ourselves_o always_o sinner_n for_o offend_v god_n thereby_o true_a it_o be_v in_o deed_n that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v scrupulous_a and_o superstitious_a as_o some_o be_v which_o eat_v not_o a_o bit_n of_o bread_n with_o quietness_n of_o conscience_n if_o a_o man_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o advise_v themselves_o what_o they_o do_v thereupon_o they_o

all_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v they_o fall_v to_o conclude_v well_o then_o let_v we_o set_v all_o at_o random_n i_o say_v there_o be_v such_o as_o these_o to_o be_v find_v but_o this_o be_v not_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v this_o be_v not_o as_o the_o scripture_n lead_v we_o therefore_o let_v we_o wake_v and_o keep_v sure_a watch_n that_o we_o be_v not_o take_v unwares_o when_o we_o be_v set_v at_o the_o table_n to_o drink_v and_o to_o eat_v let_v we_o pray_v unto_o god_n beseech_v he_o of_o his_o gracious_a goodness_n to_o keep_v we_o in_o such_o sobriety_n that_o be_v nourish_v by_o

that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o occupy_v ourselves_o in_o the_o service_n of_o our_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v grant_v we_o the_o grace_n so_o to_o pass_v through_o these_o

for_o a_o day_n or_o for_o ten_o or_o for_o fifty_o year_n but_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o say_v heavenly_a glory_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o and_o when_o we_o be_v at_o the_o table_n let_v we_o feed_v for_o our_o repast_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o if_o god_n himself_o diet_v we_o and_o although_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n take_v our_o nourishment_n of_o the_o food_n that_o we_o know_v let_v we_o look_v up_o unto_o god_n who_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o and_o have_v witness_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o be_v his_o child_n in_o so_o much_o as_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o these_o our_o poor_a body_n here_o and_o will_v have_v his_o love_n extend_v even_o unto_o they_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v but_o rottenness_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n do_v so_o nourish_v and_o sustain_v we_o we_o may_v be_v the_o merry_a and_o the_o better_o assure_v of_o his_o goodness_n and_o fatherly_a love_n towards_o we_o and_o hereby_o we_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o whither_o we_o drink_v or_o whither_o we_o eat_v we_o must_v do_v it_o altogether_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n there_o be_v many_o which_o suppose_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o think_v upon_o god_n when_o man_n come_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v whereas_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o shall_v therefore_o think_v so_o much_o the_o more_o of_o god_n see_v that_o god_n give_v such_o virtue_n unto_o bread_n by_o his_o word_n that_o we_o be_v sustain_v by_o it_o will_v he_o not_o have_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v his_o presence_n and_o how_o he_o have_v his_o hand_n stretch_v out_o over_o we_o so_o than_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o cause_n that_o we_o shall_v think_v the_o more_o upon_o god_n for_o we_o see_v that_o our_o eat_n and_o drink_v be_v sanctify_v by_o yield_v all_o honour_n to_o his_o name_n and_o therefore_o when_o it_o come_v to_o say_v of_o grace_n let_v we_o acknowledge_v that_o some_o fault_n may_v have_v escape_v we_o and_o then_o will_v god_n sure_o forgive_v we_o all_o our_o misdo_n if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o repair_v unto_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v here_o precise_o that_o when_o job_n child_n have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o feast_v each_o other_o by_o turn_n job_n command_v they_o to_o sanctify_v themselves_o and_o afterward_o

of_o ignorance_n and_o they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o be_v clear_v before_o god_n when_o they_o have_v get_v that_o buckler_n but_o god_n will_v have_v all_o way_n be_v that_o

obedience_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v answerable_a to_o that_o which_o god_n have_v ordain_v so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o have_v be_v ever_o since_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o when_o he_o command_v man_n to_o do_v sacrifice_n unto_o he_o he_o do_v it_o not_o without_o show_v they_o the_o end_n &_o mark_v whereto_o the_o

that_o god_n instruct_v those_o that_o be_v he_o unto_o their_o salvation_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o god_n in_o command_v sacrifyze_n do_v also_o show_v the_o true_a use_n of_o they_o &_o how_o they_o may_v profit_v man_n to_o their_o salvation_n and_o this_o be_v to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v know_v themselves_o to_o be_v utter_o unworthy_a to_o come_v near_o he_o and_o that_o they_o have_v deserve_v death_n so_o as_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v themselves_o whole_o blameworthy_a and_o therewithal_o also_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v yet_o

will_v have_v grant_v themselves_o to_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o death_n in_o case_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v pass_v a_o lawful_a obligation_n or_o bond_n of_o some_o debt_n also_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o saint_n paul_n speak_v to_o the_o colossian_n of_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n term_v they_o obligation_n bond_n and_o handwriting_n which_o serve_v to_o hold_v man_n

that_o have_v be_v without_o faith_n because_o they_o know_v not_o the_o god_n unto_o who_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v the_o honour_n &_o on_o the_o other_o side_n they_o know_v not_o what_o

asmuch_o as_o it_o behove_v always_o to_o hold_v the_o rule_n which_o the_o apostl_n give_v we_o namely_o that_o the_o outward_a sacrifice_n boot_n not_o at_o all_o furtherforth_o than_o they_o be_v

upon_o a_o assure_a and_o ground_a faith_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o no_o after_o the_o flood_n take_v of_o the_o clean_a beast_n to_o sacrifice_v thereby_o we_o see_v he_o have_v instruction_n from_o heaven_n for_o it_o lay_v not_o in_o he_o to_o discern_v between_o beast_n and_o beast_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v say_v among_o these_o i_o see_v some_o that_o be_v pure_a &_o clean_a and_o the_o

hereupon_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v first_o that_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n god_n have_v in_o such_o wise_a suffer_v man_n to_o go_v on_o in_o darkness_n that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v leave_v they_o certain_a record_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v convict_v of_o their_o cursedness_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o outward_a ceremony_n it_o be_v full_o enough_o to_o condemn_v the_o unbeliever_n furthermore_o we_o see_v also_o how_o man_n be_v whole_o give_v to_o evil_a in_o so_o much_o as_o they_o pervert_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a and_o when_o god_n have_v declare_v his_o will_n unto_o they_o they_o turn_v it_o altogether_o backward_o and_o to_o the_o flat_a contrary_n for_o asmuch_o then_n as_o we_o see_v man_n so_o fleeting_a and_o unconstant_a we_o may_v perceive_v that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o keep_v we_o in_o awe_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v we_o to_o step_v aside_o from_o the_o pureness_n of_o his_o
destitute_a of_o all_o mean_n of_o help_n and_o succour_v in_o deed_n some_o do_v refer_v this_o unto_o man_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v how_o it_o be_v god_n that_o have_v bestrip_v

although_o we_o perceive_v not_o his_o curse_n upon_o we_o nor_o upon_o our_o child_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o may_v take_v it_o for_o a_o conclusion_n that_o god_n have_v mean_n to_o we_o

notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o god_n with_o entreatance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v every_o of_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v himself_o a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o assure_v

that_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n so_o to_o do_v but_o come_v we_o once_o too_o the_o great_a iudgementseate_n there_o we_o must_v all_o of_o we_o stand_v confound_v and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o god_n withdraw_v not_o his_o wrath_n all_o strong_a help_n shall_v be_v beat_v down_o by_o he_o and_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v gather_v together_o all_o that_o may_v

no_o hope_n at_o all_o that_o we_o shall_v prevail_v against_o he_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o fall_v to_o some_o agreement_n and_o how_o may_v god_n be_v set_v at_o one_o with_o man_n be_v it_o by_o make_v payment_n of_o themselves_o or_o be_v it_o by_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v righteous_a when_o he_o make_v inquisition_n no_o but_o by_o make_v entreatance_n according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v already_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v how_o it_o
i_o shall_v say_v i_o can_v suppose_v that_o god_n do_v hear_v i_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v answer_v i_o for_o i_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o this_o present_a affliction_n wherewith_o i_o be_o so_o

our_o enemy_n &_o when_o he_o cite_v we_o to_o judgement_n &_o we_o see_v nothing_o but_o a_o angry_a countenance_n be_v very_o sensible_a therefore_o when_o we_o come_v to_o that_o point_n it_o be_v

that_o for_o that_o present_a time_n god_n wrath_n &_o the_o feeling_n that_o he_o have_v thereof_o bereave_v he_o of_o all_o mean_a of_o comfort_v himself_o and_o of_o all_o harken_v to_o the_o

god_n never_o show_v himself_o so_o angry_a towards_o his_o own_o but_o that_o he_o make_v they_o to_o feel_v his_o goodness_n in_o some_o wise_a or_o other_o howbeit_o not_o so_o as_o they_o always_o perceive_v it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n not_o easy_a to_o comprehend_v that_o this_o shall_v be_v so_o nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o wait_v for_o it_o if_o we_o will_v be_v god_n child_n but_o yet_o we_o shall_v have_v much_o ado_n to_o perceive_v it_o but_o by_o practice_n some_o poor_a man_n be_v assault_v with_o these_o temptation_n shall_v perchanc_fw-la i_o say_v how_o be_v it_o

afterwards_o his_o sin_n come_v to_o his_o remembrance_n &_o the_o devil_n stir_v up_o store_n of_o such_o stuff_n as_o be_v horrible_a thus_o you_o see_v a_o poor_a creature_n that_o be_v utter_o

a_o extraordinary_a manner_n of_o deal_n it_o be_v not_o as_o though_o god_n lay_v upon_o i_o with_o a_o cudgel_n or_o as_o though_o he_o have_v give_v i_o a_o stripe_n with_o a_o sword_n but_o he_o

to_o repine_v against_o god_n let_v we_o be_v well_o ware_a that_o we_o have_v his_o benefit_n always_o thorough_o print_v in_o our_o mind_n that_o we_o fall_v not_o into_o the_o temptation_n that_o

we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o god_n never_o create_v man_n but_o he_o imprint_v his_o image_n in_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o image_n be_v deface_v nevertheless_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n the_o goodness_n of_o god_n take_v always_o the_o upper_a hand_n and_o aught_o to_o have_v such_o preferment_n and_o pre-eminence_n among_o we_o as_o too_o magnify_v and_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o according_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o job_n add_v he_o say_v that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v carry_v away_o after_o that_o sort_n from_o his_o mother_n wombâ—_n too_o his_o grave_n no_o eye_n have_v see_v he_o that_o be_v yet_o one_o other_o unthankfulness_n for_o this_o life_n ought_v too_o be_v well_o like_v of_o not_o only_o because_o every_o of_o we_o know_v upon_o what_o condition_n and_o to_o what_o end_n he_o be_v create_v but_o also_o because_o god_n ought_v too_o be_v glorify_v in_o we_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o a_o creature_n who_o god_n have_v send_v into_o the_o world_n have_v we_o not_o therein_o as_o it_o be_v a_o mirror_n of_o his_o goodness_n then_o as_o often_o as_o we_o may_v behold_v a_o man_n with_o our_o eye_n we_o must_v make_v the_o same_o to_o serve_v we_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o that_o behalf_n but_o job_n will_v have_v be_v dead_a at_o the_o first_o dash_n and_o that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o darken_v god_n glory_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o without_o a_o smack_n of_o unthankfulness_n and_o so_o we_o see_v how_o he_o overshoot_v himself_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o he_o hold_v not_o the_o measure_n which_o he_o ought_v too_o have_v do_v and_o therefore_o have_v we_o the_o more_o cause_n too_o be_v well_o advise_v for_o if_o this_o temptation_n befall_v unto_o such_o a_o man_n as_o he_o be_v how_o much_o more_o shall_v we_o be_v carry_v away_o be_v so_o frail_a as_o we_o be_v immediate_o he_o say_v oh_o that_o god_n will_v withdraw_v his_o hand_n

but_o confusion_n we_o see_v here_o how_o job_n be_v still_o carry_v away_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n because_o god_n judgement_n lie_v sore_o upon_o he_o and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o i_o say_v afore_o namely_o that_o he_o not_o only_o feel_v the_o bodily_a adversity_n as_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v seel_v they_o but_o that_o his_o chief_a grief_n be_v that_o god_n be_v against_o he_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v at_o deadly_a feud_n with_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o do_v pinch_v job_n with_o such_o distress_n and_o what_o torment_v he_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o be_v not_o so_o patient_a as_o be_v requisite_a to_o be_v short_a when_o god_n bring_v we_o too_o these_o spiritual_a battle_n then_o do_v he_o prove_v we_o and_o try_v we_o too_o the_o quick_a and_o it_o be_v
no_o further_a knowledge_n but_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o god_n justice_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o rest_v there_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o job_n speak_v of_o death_n shall_v say_v that_o man_n go_v into_o a_o dark_a coast_n where_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o darkness_n and_o disorder_n and_o why_o so_o for_o he_o match_v sin_n and_o god_n curse_v together_o with_o death_n and_o so_o long_o as_o god_n hold_v he_o lock_v up_o in_o distress_n there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a heartburning_n so_o as_o he_o seek_v not_o the_o mean_a of_o grace_n which_o be_v the_o true_a remedy_n to_o show_v we_o that_o there_o be_v light_a even_o in_o death_n and_o some_o order_n also_o in_o darkness_n how_o dark_a soever_o it_o be_v because_o that_o after_o we_o have_v once_o be_v bring_v to_o dust_n we_o shall_v be_v raze_v up_o again_o job_n perceive_v not_o this_o and_o why_o because_o it_o behoove_v god_n first_o too_o make_v he_o feel_v his_o sharp_a and_o sore_a rigour_n and_o afterward_o to_o comfort_v he_o again_o and_o it_o be_v a_o text_n which_o we_o ought_v too_o mark_v well_o for_o if_o we_o mind_n too_o receive_v the_o grace_n that_o god_n give_v we_o and_o offer_v too_o we_o continual_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v first_o feel_v what_o we_o ourselves_o be_v and_o in_o what_o plight_n we_o be_v be_v we_o desirous_a i_o say_v too_o taste_v what_o the_o heavenly_a life_n be_v first_o we_o must_v know_v too_o what_o end_n we_o be_v bear_v yea_o even_o according_a as_o we_o be_v sinner_n in_o adam_n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o that_o which_o be_v corruptible_a go_v foremost_a for_o he_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o

into_o this_o world_n and_o be_v as_o noble_a and_o excellent_a creature_n of_o god_n as_o any_o can_v be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o by_o mean_n of_o sin_n death_n have_v as_o it_o be_v abolish_v and_o raze_v out_o that_o nobleness_n in_o so_o much_o that_o god_n mislike_v we_o and_o disclaim_v we_o as_o though_o his_o hand_n have_v not_o fashion_v we_o because_o we_o be_v disfigure_v and_o the_o devil_n have_v set_v his_o mark_n and_o stamp_n upon_o we_o and_o furthermore_o be_v subject_n too_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v pronounce_v upon_o adam_n we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o banish_v out_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o as_o there_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n but_o it_o abhor_v we_o this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o ourselves_o but_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o that_o battle_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v confound_v utter_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o man_n stand_v so_o much_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n be_v for_o that_o they_o can_v bethink_v they_o of_o god_n justice_n as_o they_o ought_v too_o do_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o come_v too_o that_o point_n howbeit_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v how_o wretched_a our_o life_n be_v and_o that_o death_n be_v yet_o more_o wretched_a because_o it_o be_v the_o great_a gulf_n that_o serve_v too_o show_v we_o of_o what_o importance_n the_o curse_n be_v which_o god_n pronounce_v against_o we_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n i_o say_v when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o we_o must_v also_o beware_v that_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o swallow_v up_o of_o heaviness_n and_o what_o remedy_n be_v there_o the_o remedy_n be_v to_o turn_v our_o eye_n too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o mean_a whereby_o god_n enlighten_v we_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n be_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o who_o we_o have_v the_o true_a daysun_n of_o righteousness_n now_o than_o if_o we_o have_v that_o regard_n with_o we_o no_o death_n can_v be_v dreadful_a unto_o we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o david_n say_v that_o god_n sheephooj_n shall_v comfort_v he_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o in_o the_o darkness_n when_o as_o he_o speak_v of_o god_n sheephooj_v he_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o nothing_o so_o long_o as_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n towards_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v he_o show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n but_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o then_o let_v we_o first_o consider_v of_o what_o mind_n job_n speak_v here_o he_o know_v that_o if_o man_n be_v consider_v in_o themselves_o it_o be_v their_o very_a nature_n to_o have_v nothing_o else_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o confusion_n both_o in_o their_o life_n and_o in_o their_o death_n howbeit_o see_v we_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n although_o our_o state_n seem_v never_o so_o wretched_a insomuch_o that_o we_o be_v but_o as_o poor_a worm_n subject_a too_o corruption_n and_o rottenness_n yet_o come_v we_o too_o the_o taste_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n give_v we_o when_o he_o make_v light_a to_o issue_v out_o of_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o god_n turn_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_a see_v we_o know_v this_o we_o have_v too_o rejoice_v in_o that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o only_a son_n he_o have_v cause_v his_o goodness_n and_o grace_n to_o shine_v forth_o in_o our_o death_n yea_o even_o more_o than_o in_o our_o life_n for_o when_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o dungeon_n and_o gulf_n of_o hell_n then_o do_v god_n open_v we_o the_o gate_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o even_o then_o he_o make_v we_o too_o enter_v into_o the_o dwell_a place_n whereoutof_o we_o be_v now_o after_o a_o sort_n banish_v and_o christ_n enlighten_v we_o not_o only_o in_o death_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o darkness_n which_o be_v

how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a light_n for_o we_o both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n so_o we_o look_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o we_o must_v

before_o our_o eye_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o comfort_v our_o soul_n in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n for_o they_o

let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o he_o do_v we_o no_o wrong_n therein_o neither_o have_v we_o any_o cause_n too_o reply_n against_o he_o but_o we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o cause_n too_o bliss_n

we_o shall_v have_v endure_v all_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o appear_a before_o god_n judgement_n seat_n when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o yield_v up_o of_o a_o account_n if_o we_o be_v but_o sick_a a_o little_a we_o cry_v out_o alas_o and_o if_o there_o happen_v we_o any_o mischance_n man_n shall_v hear_v we_o make_v complaint_n and_o yet_o our_o

be_v persuade_v that_o the_o same_o be_v the_o great_a danger_n that_o can_v befall_v unto_o man_n we_o will_v labour_n by_o all_o mean_n to_o return_v unto_o he_o when_o our_o sin_n come_v to_o our_o

the_o matter_n and_o behold_v we_o shall_v be_v so_o provoke_v to_o seek_v unto_o god_n for_o grace_n as_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v at_o rest_n till_o he_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o use_n whereunto_o we_o ought_v to_o apply_v this_o lesson_n and_o we_o must_v mark_v well_o how_o he_o say_v i_o will_v fayve_v that_o thou_o bid_v hide_v i_o in_o the_o grave_n and_o that_o i_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o it_o until_o suck_v time_n as_o i_o be_v cut_v off_o here_o he_o show_v wherefore_o he_o desire_v death_n namely_o because_o he_o feel_v himself_o shut_v up_o under_o god_n judgement_n and_o can_v find_v no_o way_n to_o escape_v out_o and_o hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o our_o startinghole_n shall_v serve_v we_o to_o no_o purpose_n in_o the_o end_n and_o that_o when_o we_o have_v fisk_v hither_o and_o thither_o never_o so_o much_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o we_o shall_v have_v profit_v well_o for_o one_o day_n if_o we_o can_v bear_v this_o lesson_n in_o mind_n why_o so_o for_o although_o god_n threaten_v we_o never_o so_o much_o yet_o it_o be_v see_v that_o there_o need_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o shift_v out_o of_o it_o according_a as_o every_o of_o we_o imagine_v one_o shift_n or_o other_o insomuch_o that_o our_o hypocrisy_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o god_n threaten_n pierce_v not_o our_o heart_n as_o be_v requisite_a and_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o provoke_v more_o god_n extreme_a vengeance_n than_o when_o he_o see_v that_o we_o make_v none_o account_v of_o his_o wrath_n lo_o what_o provoke_v he_o extreme_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v by_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o that_o whensoever_o god_n list_v to_o pinch_v we_o in_o good_a

we_o any_o respite_n and_o special_o if_o he_o show_v we_o how_o we_o may_v obtain_v favour_n at_o his_o hand_n let_v we_o use_v that_o opportunity_n it_o be_v say_v immediate_o i_o will_v that_o thou_o have_v hide_v i_o in_o the_o grave_n here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v and_o be_v not_o death_n a_o token_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o curse_n be_v our_o come_n thither_o too_o any_o relief_n what_o do_v that_o boot_n we_o very_o it_o seem_v too_o be_v the_o uttermost_a extremity_n and_o that_o god_n can_v show_v any_o great_a rigour_n upon_o we_o than_o to_o put_v we_o to_o death_n but_o job_n have_v here_o conceive_v death_n amiss_o as_o i_o have_v show_v heretofore_o and_o that_o must_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n he_o be_v overpress_v with_o anguish_n because_o god_n make_v he_o to_o feel_v his_o misery_n thereupon_o he_o bethink_v himself_o how_o he_o may_v be_v rid_v of_o it_o at_o leastwise_o say_v he_o i_o shall_v wander_v in_o the_o dark_a but_o as_o long_o as_o i_o

up_o in_o his_o grave_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o man_n cease_v not_o too_o be_v under_o god_n hand_n by_o die_v but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o he_o and_o to_o feel_v he_o still_o job_n know_v that_o well_o enough_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o misery_n where_o with_o he_o be_v

and_o that_o it_o shall_v serve_v he_o to_o be_v a_o salve_n for_o his_o sore_n after_o that_o manner_n speak_v job_n in_o desire_v to_o be_v cover_v in_o his_o grave_n and_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v

we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n what_o shall_v we_o more_o desire_n than_o that_o god_n shall_v have_v we_o in_o remembrance_n for_o if_o he_o forget_v we_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o peter_n say_v get_v thou_o away_o from_o i_o oh_o lord_n for_o i_o be_o a_o wretched_a sinner_n yea_o but_o we_o must_v go_v the_o contrary_a way_n to_o work_v and_o say_v lord_n come_v near_o we_o for_o without_o thy_o grace_n we_o be_v nothing_o so_o than_o it_o be_v very_o needful_a that_o god_n shall_v remember_v we_o and_o how_o to_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v we_o so_o as_o he_o uphold_v we_o and_o have_v pity_n upon_o our_o feebleness_n to_o relieve_v the_o same_o and_o to_o guide_v we_o by_o his_o providence_n you_o see_v
if_o god_n do_v we_o any_o good_a yet_o can_v he_o not_o content_a we_o for_o we_o be_v like_o unsatiable_a gulf_n and_o we_o think_v that_o all_o that_o he_o do_v for_o we_o be_v to_o little_a and_o that_o he_o ought_v too_o do_v every_o thing_n that_o we_o will_v have_v he_o again_o if_o he_o chastise_v we_o we_o be_v so_o tender_a as_o it_o be_v a_o pity_n to_o see_v it_o by_o and_o by_o we_o

of_o our_o flesh_n which_o trouble_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o can_v have_v a_o moderate_a &_o sure_a judgement_n so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o fight_v against_o such_o

job_n be_v somewhat_o to_o be_v bear_v withal_o because_o that_o god_n as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o handle_v he_o after_o a_o extraordinary_a fashion_n and_o if_o this_o be_v well_o consider_v it_o be_v to_o the_o great_a condemnation_n of_o those_o that_o be_v discontent_v with_o god_n though_o he_o have_v wait_v for_o they_o with_o long_a patience_n as_o how_o behold_v a_o man_n that_o

put_v up_o our_o sin_n with_o silence_n it_o be_v even_o a_o rankle_a of_o they_o to_o increase_v our_o pain_n and_o when_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o purge_v we_o it_o will_v be_v to_o late_o and_o

and_o that_o god_n have_v add_v to_o his_o misdo_n the_o word_n add_v be_v not_o take_v in_o that_o sense_n which_o many_o man_n expound_v it_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n shall_v make_v job_n

very_a ordinary_a matter_n in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n but_o now_o let_v we_o look_v to_o the_o content_n of_o the_o verse_n job_n borrow_v this_o similitude_n namely_o that_o god_n have_v bind_v up_o his_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v into_o a_o bundle_n and_o lock_v they_o all_o up_o together_o in_o a_o chest_n and_o set_v his_o seal_n to_o it_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o nothing_o shall_v escape_v he_o and_o thereunto_o he_o add_v that_o god_n have_v lay_v a_o good_a weight_n upon_o it_o like_v as_o in_o zacharie_n where_o it_o be_v mean_v that_o god_n shut_v up_o man_n sin_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n lay_v a_o mass_n of_o lead_n upon_o the_o vessel_n wherein_o they_o be_v so_o that_o after_o he_o have_v shut_v they_o up_o in_o the_o vessel_n he_o lay_v a_o mass_n of_o lead_n upon_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o get_v out_o so_o then_o job_n continue_v here_o the_o similitude_n that_o he_o have_v set_v down_o say_v that_o god_n have_v seal_v up_o his_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o nothing_o shall_v escape_v he_o and_o that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o much_o as_o any_o one_o point_n leave_v out_o and_o to_o express_v this_o he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v add_v a_o good_a counterpoise_v or_o weight_n so_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v draw_v away_o but_o all_o his_o misdeed_n must_v abide_v before_o god_n to_o come_v too_o account_v and_o to_o be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v now_o than_o we_o see_v what_o be_v the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o this_o sentence_n and_o very_o job_n have_v some_o occasion_n too_o speak_v
in_o the_o word_n secret_n when_o eliphas_n say_v what_o secret_a be_v there_o in_o thou_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v wretched_a creature_n feel_v thou_o not_o thy_o own_o frailty_n but_o sure_o if_o man_n know_v themselves_o as_o they_o be_v in_o deed_n they_o shall_v needs_o fall_v to_o agreement_n with_o god_n and_o be_v inflame_v with_o such_o desire_n thereof_o as_o they_o will_v never_o

and_o doltish_a we_o be_v sure_o we_o will_v not_o be_v such_o fool_n as_o to_o surmise_v that_o we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o deliver_v ourselves_o out_o of_o our_o anguish_n and_o trouble_n but_o

in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o perceive_v that_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o eliphas_n add_v he_o say_v that_o job_n heart_n be_v carry_v away_o and_o that_o he_o make_v a_o sign_n with_o his_o eye_n too_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o god._n here_o eliphas_n reprove_v job_n pride_n how_o be_v it_o wrongful_o and_o without_o cause_n but_o according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v already_o although_o this_o matter_n be_v misapply_v to_o job_n himself_o yet_o may_v we_o gather_v a_o profitable_a lesson_n of_o it_o and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o

they_o regard_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v but_o take_v they_o as_o superfluous_a matter_n as_o if_o nothing_o can_v be_v allege_v which_o be_v not_o know_v afore_o to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v that_o eliphas_n mean_v to_o condemn_v such_o a_o pride_n in_o job_n as_o though_o he_o humble_v not_o himself_o unto_o god_n to_o hearken_v what_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o heerewithall_o he_o show_v that_o such_o pride_n be_v ill_o ground_v when_o he_o say_v that_o job_n heart_n be_v ravish_v then_o be_v it_o certain_a that_o this_o pride_n be_v always_o one_o of_o the_o vice_n in_o man_n and_o therefore_o in_o as_o much_o as_o our_o lord_n see_v man_n stand_v so_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n and_o wax_v hard_a in_o their_o pride_n he_o be_v fain_o to_o show_v they_o that_o they_o

that_o ever_o they_o imagine_v to_o be_v in_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o text_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o man_n open_v their_o mouth_n against_o

after_o that_o sort_n nor_o presume_v upon_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o consider_v that_o they_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o condemnation_n in_o they_o and_o that_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o abide_v confound_v in_o their_o own_o shame_n behold_v here_o a_o excellent_a sentence_n if_o we_o have_v the_o skill_n to_o apply_v it_o well_o to_o our_o own_o instruction_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o know_v ourselves_o and_o according_a to_o the_o old_a proverb_n we_o shall_v be_v humb_v by_o and_o by_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o vaunt_v ourselves_o but_o what_o man_n can_v not_o refrain_n to_o start_v out_o of_o their_o bound_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o run_v so_o a_o head_n as_o we_o do_v yea_o even_o to_o the_o cast_n of_o ourselves_o into_o such_o overween_a as_o god_n be_v fain_o to_o fall_v upon_o we_o as_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o proud_a and_o this_o will_v not_o be_v very_o hard_a for_o we_o if_o we_o

for_o hitherto_o eliphas_n have_v use_v a_o preface_n to_o show_v that_o nothing_o hinder_v job_n to_o make_v his_o own_o profit_n of_o the_o warning_n that_o he_o have_v hear_v but_o that_o he_o be_v

there_o be_v any_o vanity_n or_o good_a instruction_n in_o it_o that_o we_o may_v know_v it_o to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o own_o use_n and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o pray_v god_n too_o be_v so_o gracious_a to_o we_o that_o when_o any_o man_n minister_v any_o good_a doctrine_n unto_o we_o it_o may_v not_o slip_v away_o from_o we_o nor_o vanish_v into_o the_o air_n through_o our_o own_o

no_o profit_n at_o all_o by_o it_o and_o why_o for_o they_o apply_v not_o their_o whole_a wit_n and_o mind_n to_o it_o but_o be_v fleet_a too_o and_o fro_o and_o god_n word_n do_v as_o it_o be_v vanish_v into_o the_o wind_n and_o that_o be_v because_o they_o have_v no_o sure_a groundedness_n in_o they_o nevertheless_o for_o the_o better_a apply_v of_o this_o lesson_n to_o our_o use_n every_o one_o of_o we_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o must_v look_v narrow_o to_o himself_o for_o it_o follow_v in_o job_n that_o if_o his_o friend_n be_v in_o his_o case_n he_o can_v speak_v as_o they_o do_v and_o

to_o this_o point_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v not_o after_o our_o own_o like_n but_o according_a as_o god_n have_v command_v again_o whereas_o under_o the_o word_n prayer_n here_o be_v mention_v

of_o we_o and_o the_o great_a and_o soveraine_v worship_n that_o he_o allow_v be_v for_o we_o too_o have_v our_o recourse_n unto_o he_o now_o have_v the_o papist_n consider_v this_o will_v it_o not_o

same_o come_v not_o of_o man_n hand_n nor_o be_v make_v by_o any_o inferior_a art_n or_o mean_a but_o be_v wrought_v by_o god_n only_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o isaiah_n that_o hell_n

utter_v itself_o against_o they_o now_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o frame_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_n unto_o god_n as_o we_o may_v not_o feel_v the_o execution_n of_o this_o sentence_n upon_o ourselves_o for_o it_o will_v be_v to_o late_o to_o cry_v alas_o when_o god_n shall_v have_v kindle_v his_o inquenchable_a fire_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n word_n ought_v to_o be_v unto_o

by_o the_o mean_a of_o his_o word_n but_o if_o we_o can_v abide_v it_o we_o must_v needs_o become_v as_o chaff_n or_o stubble_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n shall_v not_o my_o word_n be_v a_o consume_a fire_n &_o as_o a_o hammer_n that_o break_v the_o stone_n and_o shall_v not_o this_o people_n be_v as_o chaff_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o we_o can_v not_o disfeate_v god_n word_n of_o the_o office_n that_o he_o give_v unto_o it_o to_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n it_o must_v always_o be_v so_o now_o on_o our_o side_n if_o we_o be_v diligent_a in_o offer_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n he_o will_v purge_v we_o from_o our_o filth_n &_o we_o shall_v be_v reform_v too_o his_o righteousness_n and_o inflame_v with_o his_o love_n but_o contrariwise_o if_o we_o play_v the_o

forasmuch_o as_o god_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n hate_v sin_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v odious_a unto_o he_o so_o then_o see_v that_o all_o creature_n be_v as_o it_o be_v accurse_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o filthiness_n and_o uncleanness_n both_o high_a and_o low_a must_v be_v fain_o to_o feel_v of_o that_o defile_n even_o so_o stand_v the_o case_n peculiar_o with_o the_o wicked_a for_o if_o a_o

further_o ad_fw-la nthis_fw-la be_v say_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o envy_v the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a when_o we_o see_v they_o farewell_n consider_v that_o their_o end_n be_v such_o as_o we_o see_v here_o therefore_o when_o the_o faithful_a have_v conceive_v how_o terrible_a god_n wrath_n be_v they_o must_v be_v so_o touch_v with_o it_o as_o they_o must_v no_o more_o

not_o move_v one_o finger_n breadth_n and_o much_o less_o can_v we_o come_v unto_o he_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v nay_o rather_o which_o worse_o be_v man_n will_v always_o assay_v to_o run_v back_o when_o they_o doubt_v of_o the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n yea_o &_o his_o majesty_n shall_v be_v fearful_a unto_o they_o if_o we_o conceive_v in_o our_o mind_n that_o god_n will_v deal_v rigorous_o

as_o we_o see_v true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o mean_v not_o to_o punish_v he_o after_o the_o ordinary_a manner_n of_o his_o desert_n but_o yet_o may_v he_o have_v punish_v he_o so_o even_o by_o his_o

that_o our_o natural_a wit_n do_v rest_n upon_o and_o look_v at_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o feel_v see_v and_o touch_v therefore_o when_o god_n leave_v we_o in_o such_o extremity_n as_o we_o know_v

also_o when_o it_o be_v cloudy_a and_o rainy_a weather_n we_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n beat_v down_o and_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shrink_v so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o job_n do_v here_o

which_o look_v not_o unto_o god_n hand_n neither_o in_o weal_n nor_o wo._n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o but_o rather_o whensoever_o we_o have_v any_o prosperity_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o god_n shine_v upon_o we_o and_o show_v we_o a_o love_a countenance_n and_o will_v have_v we_o to_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n that_o we_o may_v glorify_v he_o behold_v then_o how_o

every_o man_n can_v well_o enough_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n now_o when_o god_n advance_v a_o man_n in_o such_o wise_n by_o give_v he_o more_o large_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v too_o the_o intent_n he_o shall_v purchase_v himself_o estimation_n and_o not_o rather_o for_o

but_o this_o hypocrisy_n for_o if_o we_o know_v our_o own_o infirmity_n sure_o they_o will_v as_o it_o be_v bridle_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o condemn_v other_o folk_n at_o adventure_n but_o begin_v at_o ourselves_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v and_o which_o be_v command_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o then_o be_v we_o mild_a and_o gentle_a in_o bear_v one_o with_o another_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o confess_v our_o own_o sin_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o when_o we_o have_v offend_v any_o man_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v to_o reason_n for_o we_o see_v that_o otherwise_o we_o have_v no_o access_n unto_o god_n according_a also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v we_o that_o our_o sacrifice_n and_o offering_n shall_v not_o be_v accept_v unless_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o our_o neighbour_n when_o we_o have_v offend_v they_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o be_v sorry_a in_o their_o behalf_n if_o we_o know_v our_o sin_n and_o three_o when_o we_o have_v give_v any_o cause_n of_o stumble_v let_v we_o come_v humble_o to_o amend_v it_o yea_o and_o so_o to_o amend_v it_o as_o the_o evil_a may_v not_o be_v bear_v withal_o nor_o we_o kick_v against_o the_o spur_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o three_o confession_n which_o the_o scripture_n require_v of_o we_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o all_o this_o come_v and_o proceed_v of_o the_o say_v right_o mean_v which_o we_o have_v in_o sorow_v before_o god_n for_o until_o we_o be_v full_o sorry_a at_o the_o heart_n that_o we_o have_v offend_v we_o shall_v never_o make_v a_o pure_a and_o right_a confession_n before_o man_n for_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v it_o shall_v be_v but_o feynednesse_n and_o so_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o those_o which_o shall_v have_v confess_v themselves_o before_o god_n to_o be_v such_o as_o they_o be_v will_v also_o have_v the_o modesty_n of_o not_o justify_v themselves_o afore_o man_n for_o it_o be_v a_o mockery_n when_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v oh_o i_o i_o know_v myself_o a_o sinner_n before_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o shall_v be_v so_o wilful_a towards_o man_n as_o no_o reason_n nor_o truth_n can_v be_v wring_v from_o he_o such_o a_o one_o show_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v bewitch_v he_o and_o that_o he_o hide_v his_o fault_n and_o lay_v they_o up_o in_o his_o bosom_n as_o much_o as_o he_o possible_o can_v wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n of_o feel_v our_o sin_n and_o of_o be_v ashamed_a too_o have_v transgress_v god_n law_n and_o too_o have_v do_v against_o his_o righteousness_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o pride_n to_o hinder_v we_o from_o make_v a_o pure_a confession_n and_o such_o as_o we_o ought_v too_o make_v before_o he_o furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o to_o mark_v how_o it_o be_v
accusation_n which_o be_v lay_v against_o he_o be_v false_a and_o that_o he_o have_v be_v wrongful_o slander_v consider_v that_o he_o have_v live_v innocent_o howbeit_o in_o say_v so_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o he_o have_v be_v utter_o clear_a so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o fault_n to_o be_v find_v in_o he_o for_o as_o it_o be_v see_v yesterday_o he_o have_v confess_v himself_o a_o sinner_n yea_o and_o protest_v that_o he_o hide_v not_o his_o fault_n as_o man_n be_v wont_v to_o do_v and_o according_a as_o we_o see_v man_n hypocrisy_n to_o be_v such_o as_o every_o man_n will_v fain_o hide_v himself_o with_o vain_a and_o trifle_a lurkinghole_n job_n declare_v that_o he_o intend_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o that_o he_o free_o condemn_v himself_o when_o he_o have_v do_v amiss_o yea_o and_o tarry_v not_o till_o man_n of_o authority_n reprove_v he_o but_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v shame_v by_o the_o most_o despise_a sort_n and_o humble_v himself_o so_o low_a as_o too_o receive_v correction_n by_o those_o which_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o look_v upon_o he_o so_o then_o in_o this_o text_n job_n mean_v not_o that_o he_o be_v utter_o without_o sin_n or_o stain_v for_o then_o be_v there_o contrariety_n in_o his_o word_n but_o he_o lay_v forth_o his_o case_n according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o as_o a_o reprobate_n and_o that_o although_o god_n handle_v he_o rough_o yet_o follow_v it_o not_o that_o he_o do_v it_o for_o any_o heinous_a fault_n of_o he_o but_o for_o some_o other_o secret_a cause_n we_o see_v then_o in_o effect_n that_o job_n mean_v not_o to_o exalt_v himself_o against_o god_n with_o such_o pride_n as_o many_o do_v which_o uphold_v themselves_o to_o be_v righteous_a yea_o even_o without_o feel_v the_o sin_n that_o they_o have_v commit_v and_o although_o he_o have_v live_v as_o a_o angel_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o know_v well_o that_o god_n may_v find_v sufficient_a cause_n in_o he_o to_o punish_v he_o nevertheless_o he_o maintain_v his_o own_o uncorruptness_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o separate_v himself_o from_o the_o number_n of_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o there_o be_v a_o mean_a for_o we_o to_o maintain_v a_o good_a case_n we_o know_v that_o they_o which_o be_v most_o faulty_a be_v by_o their_o good_a will_n most_o bold_a to_o justify_v themselves_o when_o they_o be_v rebuke_v and_o although_o their_o condemnation_n be_v apparent_a enough_o and_o every_o man_n do_v see_v that_o they_o be_v nothing_o worth_a yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o will_v be_v most_o shameless_a in_o maintain_v themselves_o to_o be_v faultless_a and_o affirm_v themselves_o too_o have_v great_a wrong_n to_o be_v reprove_v but_o contrariwise_o although_o god_n child_n have_v endeavour_v to_o walk_v aright_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v be_v that_o they_o yield_v themselves_o guilty_a and_o acknowledge_v themselves_o too_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n thereupon_o we_o see_v that_o if_o a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o justify_v himself_o without_o exception_n he_o undertake_v war_n against_o god_n for_o whosoever_o say_v that_o he_o be_v no_o sinner_n intend_v to_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n as_o say_v s._n john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n god_n have_v pronounce_v one_o general_a sentence_n upon_o we_o all_o and_o experience_n also_o aught_o to_o show_v we_o that_o all_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o flee_v too_o god_n mercy_n for_o refuge_n he_o than_o that_o will_v justify_v himself_o without_o exception_n war_v manifest_o against_o god_n and_o iustle_v with_o he_o and_o what_o shall_v he_o win_v by_o it_o in_o the_o end_n nothing_o but_o what_o must_v we_o do_v after_o we_o have_v acknowledge_v our_o fault_n if_o we_o be_v repronved_a for_o any_o thing_n and_o feel_v our_o self_n guilty_a let_v we_o cast_v down_o our_o head_n and_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o have_v deserve_v that_o god_n shall_v put_v we_o too_o such_o shame_n as_o to_o be_v condemn_v by_o man_n yea_o even_o of_o the_o bace_a sort_n and_o to_o have_v they_o to_o be_v our_o judge_n but_o if_o we_o know_v not_o that_o we_o have_v offend_v in_o the_o thing_n whereof_o we_o be_v accuse_v god_n mean_v be_v to_o humble_v we_o after_o another_o sort_n nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o receive_v correction_n patient_o final_o if_o man_n reprove_v we_o and_o will_v through_o rashness_n bear_v we_o down_o that_o we_o be_v offender_n whereas_o we_o know_v the_o contrary_a it_o be_v hypocrisy_n for_o we_o to_o grant_v that_o such_o slander_n be_v true_a if_o a_o man_n be_v accuse_v of_o robbery_n of_o whoredom_n or_o of_o murder_n and_o be_v clear_a of_o it_o so_o as_o he_o may_v protest_v before_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o he_o if_o he_o do_v condemn_v himself_o he_o do_v evil_a so_o then_o we_o may_v well_o maintain_v our_o clearness_n after_o the_o manner_n that_o job_n do_v not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o honesty_n as_o the_o vainglorious_a sort_n do_v which_o will_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v touch_v at_o all_o but_o be_v so_o tender_a of_o their_o honour_n as_o they_o can_v suffer_v it_o to_o be_v touch_v no_o not_o though_o they_o have_v desame_v themselves_o but_o will_v have_v their_o shame_n cover_v &_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o themselves_o blaze_v it_o abroad_o so_o as_o every_o man_n know_v it_o we_o must_v not_o go_v that_o way_n to_o work_v but_o every_o man_n must_v in_o that_o case_n judge_n of_o himself_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v of_o his_o neighbour_n and_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o condemn_v the_o evil_a and_o to_o allow_v the_o good_a without_o accept_v of_o person_n lo_o after_o what_o manner_n we_o may_v maintain_v a_o good_a quarrel_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n say_v if_o god_n will_v answer_v i_o though_o all_o the_o man_n upon_o the_o earth_n shall_v bend_v themselves_o against_o i_o and_o that_o my_o adversary_n party_n allege_v all_o that_o be_v possible_a i_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o be_v ashamed_a to_o bear_v it_o that_o i_o shall_v take_v it_o as_o a_o crown_n to_o deck_v i_o withal_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o ornament_n unto_o i_o but_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o when_o we_o intend_v to_o maintain_v our_o own_o innocence_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o hide_v our_o shame_n before_o man_n but_o our_o principal_a point_n must_v be_v that_o god_n may_v be_v as_o our_o warrant_n and_o answer_v for_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o answer_n where_o of_o job_n speak_v be_v mean_v as_o i_o have_v declare_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n shall_v as_o it_o be_v enter_v a_o ordinary_a process_n against_o he_o and_o show_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o scourgeâ—_n he_o but_o yet_o therewithal_o job_n pretend_v that_o if_o god_n will_v give_v he_o liberty_n to_o maintain_v his_o case_n all_o will_v make_v on_o his_o side_n and_o they_o that_o have_v reject_v he_o because_o of_o his_o extreme_a affliction_n shall_v be_v find_v liar_n so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o we_o see_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o have_v escape_v from_o man_n but_o we_o must_v special_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n to_o bring_v our_o good_a case_n before_o he_o that_o he_o as_o i_o say_v may_v warrant_v it_o and_o we_o receive_v sentence_n of_o discharge_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o will_v god_n that_o this_o be_v well_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o we_o see_v nowadays_o that_o all_o be_v one_o with_o we_o so_o we_o may_v be_v release_v before_o the_o world_n we_o seek_v nothing_o but_o that_o and_o so_o be_v god_n despise_v for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o which_o think_v that_o ever_o he_o shall_v render_v a_o account_n before_o he_o but_o we_o look_v that_o no_o man_n may_v bite_v we_o and_o that_o if_o any_o man_n come_v to_o assail_v we_o we_o may_v have_v wherewith_o to_o keep_v he_o off_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v so_o escape_v from_o the_o world_n we_o think_v all_o be_v safe_a and_o so_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o make_v we_o bold_a to_o exalt_v ourselves_o the_o more_o against_o god_n wherefore_o let_v we_o think_v well_o upon_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v a_o wretched_a reward_n when_o the_o world_n shall_v soothe_v we_o and_o god_n allow_v we_o not_o and_o therefore_o above_o all_o thing_n let_v every_o man_n examine_v himself_o what_o he_o be_v and_o let_v not_o that_o be_v do_v after_o his_o own_o fancy_n but_o according_a to_o god_n law_n for_o we_o know_v we_o be_v no_o competent_a judge_n but_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o receive_v
show_v ourselves_o the_o child_n of_o god_n for_o we_o can_v give_v a_o better_a proof_n of_o it_o nevertheless_o let_v we_o heerewithall_o keep_v such_o measure_n as_o we_o mingle_v not_o our_o own_o

notwithstanding_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o bring_v the_o person_n to_o salvation_n true_o the_o practise_v here_o of_o be_v hard_a howbeit_o god_n will_v guide_v we_o so_o we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o give_v he_o the_o whole_a government_n of_o we_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o doctrine_n because_o that_o

the_o same_o ought_v to_o wound_v our_o heart_n also_o i_o show_v that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o affection_n to_o god_n and_o his_o honour_n then_o must_v we_o maintain_v his_o truth_n to_o the_o

be_o whole_o dismay_v at_o it_o but_o yet_o do_v not_o my_o god_n cease_v to_o be_v righteous_a he_o do_v all_o thing_n rightful_o thus_o than_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o

than_o they_o eliu_o they_o say_v no_o new_a thing_n &_o although_o the_o same_o speech_n be_v not_o very_o common_a yet_o notwithstanding_o what_o a_o reason_n be_v it_o to_o say_v god_n be_v great_a than_o we_o &_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o boot_n we_o to_o maintain_v a_o good_a case_n it_o seem_v rather_o that_o eliu_n agree_v to_o that_o which_o job_n have_v say_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n god_n use_v such_o rigour_n against_o i_o howbeit_o that_o be_v of_o his_o absolute_a power_n he_o be_v great_a &_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o make_v my_o part_n good_a with_o

upon_o god_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o do_v what_o he_o list_v against_o man_n without_o reason_n or_o equity_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o take_v this_o

true_o we_o must_v not_o separate_v the_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o god_n for_o they_o be_v his_o own_o proper_a be_v man_n may_v well_o have_v some_o virtue_n in_o they_o that_o may_v be_v take_v from_o they_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o god_n when_o we_o speak_v of_o his_o power_n or_o his_o justice_n or_o his_o wisdom_n or_o his_o goodness_n we_o speak_v of_o himself_o they_o be_v

that_o all_o shall_v go_v contrariwise_o you_o see_v then_o that_o to_o enter_v into_o debate_n &_o disputation_n against_o god_n be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o will_v defeat_v he_o of_o his_o

and_o that_o from_o thence_o forth_o he_o continue_v his_o goodness_n always_o towards_o we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n of_o his_o own_o goodness_n choose_v we_o after_o a_o secret_a

of_o the_o promise_n of_o his_o gospel_n not_o that_o it_o be_v do_v thorough_o at_o the_o first_o but_o god_n give_v we_o some_o small_a taste_n of_o it_o confirm_v the_o same_o more_o and_o more_o in_o we_o until_o we_o see_v the_o gate_n of_o paradise_n wide_o open_a and_o that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o grave_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o say_n furthermore_o when_o eliu_n say_v that_o god_n have_v find_v reconciliation_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o he_o intend_v here_o to_o express_v yet_o better_a the_o thing_n that_o he_o touch_v even_o now_o which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v father_n the_o atonement_n which_o god_n make_v with_o we_o upon_o god_n own_o free_a goodness_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o work_v yea_o even_o before_o we_o can_v have_v

therefore_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o work_v here_o &_o the_o work_n must_v be_v altogether_o he_o and_o how_o work_v he_o first_o by_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o the_o hartbyte_n which_o he_o give_v we_o according_a as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v heretofore_o that_o he_o send_v we_o inward_a fear_n as_o if_o he_o sound_v a_o trumpet_n to_o summon_v we_o to_o his_o judgement_n you_o see_v they_o that_o god_n call_v we_o home_o to_o he_o by_o secret_a inspiration_n when_o he_o see_v we_o go_v astray_o and_o distraught_a and_o beside_o this_o he_o appoint_v

the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o like_o stithy_n to_o beat_v back_o the_o stroke_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v only_a god_n work_v who_o to_o bring_v that_o to_o pass_v give_v we_o heart_n of_o flesh_n and_o

in_o they_o as_o there_o follow_v no_o amendment_n for_o all_o that_o ever_o a_o man_n can_v say_v and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v god_n to_o work_v in_o that_o behalf_n and_o again_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v afflict_v we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a yet_o shall_v there_o not_o be_v a_o right_a odedientnesse_n in_o we_o yea_o and_o when_o we_o be_v even_o confound_v we_o shall_v be_v still_o like_o wretched_a mad_a man_n according_a as_o we_o see_v it_o happen_v too_o cayn_a and_o judas_n lo_o in_o what_o plight_n we_o shall_v be_v if_o god_n wrought_v not_o in_o we_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o have_v not_o this_o message_n of_o salvation_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o although_o we_o be_v thorough_o tame_v and_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o sigh_n and_o groan_v yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o will_v turn_v but_o to_o despair_v in_o we_o so_o they_o it_o behove_v we_o that_o the_o acceptable_a time_n come_v unto_o we_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o

of_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v touch_v brief_o here_o which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v god_n peculiar_a office_n to_o find_v reconciliation_n nevertheless_o god_n will_v be_v to_o do_v it_o by_o his_o

then_o be_v the_o convenient_a time_n which_o he_o have_v appoint_v for_o our_o salvation_n then_o let_v we_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o have_v not_o prevent_v he_o but_o that_o he_o have_v seek_v we_o and_o therewithal_o let_v not_o we_o be_v behind_o hand_n upon_o such_o occasion_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n in_o all_o edge_v the_o say_a text_n of_o isaiah_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v ready_a to_o come_v when_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o drive_v off_o from_o day_n to_o day_n when_o

again_o and_o be_v restore_v and_o his_o flesh_n become_v as_o fresh_a as_o a_o young_a child_n wherein_o he_o show_v the_o
to_o remember_v in_o this_o sentence_n according_a hereunto_o eliu_o for_o the_o great_a confirmation_n of_o it_o say_v that_o god_n will_v not_o condemn_v for_o nought_o nor_o overthrow_v the_o

of_o our_o tooth_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v flatter_v ourselves_o a_o long_a time_n yet_o must_v we_o return_v to_o this_o point_n to_o be_v convict_v namely_o that_o he_o have_v just_a

too_o this_o startinghole_n that_o god_n be_v almighty_a and_o do_v what_o he_o listen_v and_o we_o can_v resist_v he_o and_o that_o he_o deal_v cross_o and_o overthwart_o with_o we_o and_o although_o

without_o a_o continual_a respect_n of_o bear_v with_o they_o according_a as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v expedient_a and_o if_o there_o be_v cause_n to_o spare_v they_o any_o more_o sure_o he_o will_v do_v it_o because_o he_o know_v what_o be_v meet_v for_o they_o so_o then_o let_v we_o practice_v well_o this_o lesson_n of_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n whensoever_o he_o chastize_v we_o let_v we_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v that_o we_o reply_v not_o against_o he_o and_o there_o withal_o let_v we_o be_v meek_a and_o let_v not_o hypocrisy_n blind_v we_o to_o soothe_v ourselves_o in_o

in_o this_o case_n that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v common_a both_o to_o good_a and_o bad_a but_o true_o herein_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v god_n goodness_n the_o better_a according_a
