we_o be_v teach_v at_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o mortal_a man_n for_o like_a as_o the_o sun_n yield_v light_a and_o yet_o the_o blind_a see_v never_o the_o more_o for_o it_o even_o so_o the_o word_n of_o

it_o be_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o he_o have_v his_o hand_n so_o stretch_v out_o to_o be_v short_a whether_o god_n speak_v gentle_o to_o draw_v we_o unto_o he_o or_o whether_o he_o correct_v we_o and_o show_v we_o some_o token_n of_o roughness_n to_o make_v we_o to_o stoop_v yet_o all_o this_o serve_v to_o no_o purpose_n until_o god_n give_v we_o eye_n to_o see_v ear_n to_o hear_v and_o

that_o we_o shall_v continue_v still_o in_o our_o condemnation_n and_o why_o for_o the_o evil_n come_v of_o us._n be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n that_o he_o may_v be_v his_o own_o witness_n

so_o now_o see_v it_o be_v prove_v that_o we_o sin_v not_o otherwise_o than_o of_o our_o own_o freewill_n be_v not_o that_o enough_o to_o stop_v our_o mouth_n to_o what_o purpose_n serve_v it_o we_o to_o spurn_v against_o god_n see_v that_o we_o must_v needs_o come_v to_o this_o condemnation_n therefore_o on_o the_o one_o side_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o magnify_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n toward_o

on_o the_o other_o part_n when_o god_n have_v show_v we_o the_o favour_n to_o make_v we_o see_v his_o work_n to_o our_o benefit_n let_v we_o also_o look_v upon_o his_o very_a face_n in_o the_o

he_o have_v feel_v any_o sting_n or_o prick_v of_o it_o be_v this_o sin_n now_o there_o be_v thought_n which_o touch_v not_o our_o heart_n at_o all_o neither_o be_v we_o move_v with_o they_o neither_o

the_o apostle_n have_v the_o chief_a charge_n of_o the_o church_n it_o behove_v this_o call_n upon_o god_n to_o belong_v chief_o unto_o they_o 〈…〉_o 2._o cor._n 〈…〉_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o he_o humble_v himself_o for_o the_o corinthian_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v he_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o chastisement_n of_o their_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o person_n

preach_v god_n word_n and_o of_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n must_v not_o only_o employ_v themselves_o that_o way_n but_o also_o to_o prayer_n and_o chief_o when_o they_o see_v thing_n go_v amiss_o

shall_v follow_v those_o figure_n and_o shadow_n which_o be_v in_o that_o time_n and_o albeit_o god_n hold_v they_o in_o as_o little_a child_n by_o appoint_v such_o ceremony_n yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o this_o behalf_n he_o lay_v the_o bridle_n on_o their_o neck_n as_o man_n say_v &_o mean_v not_o to_o persuade_v they_o to_o vow_n or_o to_o occasion_v they_o to_o bind_v themselves_o but_o leave_v the_o matter_n to_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o liberty_n nowadays_o then_o see_v that_o we_o be_v under_o the_o gospel_n where_o there_o be_v no_o long_o any_o such_o bondage_n as_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n think_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n take_v any_o great_a pleasure_n of_o it_o when_o man_n vow_v so_o as_o they_o think_v they_o be_v not_o devout_a enough_o except_o

unto_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v thereof_o assure_v that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v make_v all_o manner_n of_o felicity_n to_o reign_v upon_o we_o so_o we_o will_v hearken_v to_o his_o voice_n whereby_o he_o show_v that_o if_o it_o be_v not_o long_o of_o ourselves_o he_o be_v ready_a and_o forward_o to_o entreat_v we_o as_o a_o father_n do_v his_o child_n and_o that_o he_o delight_v not_o to_o vex_v we_o with_o multitude_n of_o evil_n but_o that_o he_o mean_v rather_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o goodness_n in_o all_o respect_n let_v we_o therefore_o be_v advise_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o god_n if_o we_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v pour_v upon_o we_o the_o treasure_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o all_o our_o life_n may_v be_v bless_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n oftentimes_o afflict_v his_o people_n for_o other_o cause_n than_o their_o sin_n as_o we_o see_v it_o happen_v to_o job_n which_o be_v a_o notable_a mirror_n for_o us._n we_o see_v the_o like_a in_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n who_o although_o they_o do_v endeavour_n and_o travail_n to_o serve_v god_n yet_o be_v they_o in_o as_o great_a trouble_n and_o grief_n as_o can_v be_v the_o same_o be_v yet_o more_o manifest_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o see_v that_o god_n have_v reveil_v more_o full_o what_o be_v the_o perfect_a happiness_n of_o man_n it_o behoove_v the_o faithful_a to_o be_v exercise_v under_o many_o adversity_n in_o this_o transitory_a life_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v first_o of_o all_o that_o if_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a he_o do_v it_o to_o preserve_v they_o as_o the_o physician_n that_o wait_v not_o always_o till_o the_o sickness_n do_v appear_v but_o if_o he_o perceive_v any_o likelihood_n that_o a_o man_n be_v in_o danger_n he_o will_v prevent_v it_o god_n then_o in_o not_o punish_v the_o sin_n that_o be_v present_o commit_v by_o his_o child_n do_v use_v chastisement_n towards_o they_o as_o preservative_n medicine_n it_o may_v every_o day_n fall_v out_o that_o a_o man_n have_v not_o offend_v against_o god_n in_o some_o particular_a sin_n but_o what_o if_o he_o be_v always_o in_o prosperity_n he_o will_v forget_v himself_o god_n therefore_o do_v cure_v such_o disease_n by_o withdraw_a his_o blessing_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o fat_a to_o blind_v man_n eye_n or_o to_o hinder_v our_o come_n unto_o he_o lest_o it_o shall_v stay_v we_o too_o long_o in_o this_o world_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v so_o entangle_v in_o our_o delight_n as_o to_o fall_v altogether_o on_o sleep_n in_o the_o same_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o second_o point_n to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n forbear_v to_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o that_o he_o have_v not_o always_o just_a cause_n so_o to_o do_v if_o he_o list_v let_v the_o perfect_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n be_v choose_v out_o and_o yet_o if_o god_n will_v deal_v with_o they_o by_o rigour_n he_o shall_v lay_v many_o hard_a knock_n upon_o their_o pate_n but_o true_o we_o think_v it_o not_o so_o for_o we_o be_v not_o so_o sharp_a sight_v as_o to_o know_v the_o fault_n which_o god_n do_v mark_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n utter_v his_o patience_n and_o goodness_n in_o that_o he_o spare_v man_n and_o punish_v they_o not_o i_o mean_v the_o most_o righteous_a that_o can_v be_v find_v as_o for_o example_n when_o david_n be_v cruel_o persecute_v of_o saul_n and_o of_o all_o his_o enemy_n when_o abraham_n be_v stinge_v and_o vex_v so_o many_o way_n likewise_o when_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o all_o the_o prophet_n be_v afflict_v by_o the_o wicked_a and_o by_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n even_o to_o the_o very_a death_n and_o final_o when_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a be_v cruel_o deal_v with_o it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o sin_n no_o very_o but_o have_v it_o please_v god_n to_o have_v call_v they_o to_o account_v he_o may_v have_v punish_v they_o a_o hundred_o time_n more_o and_o they_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o have_v accuse_v he_o of_o cruelty_n he_o spare_v they_o and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o do_v they_o the_o honour_n to_o suffer_v for_o his_o name_n or_o rather_o he_o try_v their_o obedience_n kill_v their_o carnal_a affection_n and_o draw_v they_o near_o unto_o himself_o as_o for_o example_n whereas_o it_o please_v god_n to_o make_v job_n a_o mirror_n of_o patience_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o make_v he_o acquaint_v with_o his_o own_o frailty_n but_o howsoevet_n it_o be_v yet_o be_v it_o his_o intent_n to_o make_v he_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o example_n to_o we_o all_o we_o perceive_v then_o that_o god_n have_v other_o meaning_n in_o afflict_v his_o people_n than_o only_o to_o punish_v their_o sin_n nevertheless_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o uphold_v they_o even_o by_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n and_o yet_o must_v we_o on_o our_o side_n resort_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o original_n of_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o we_o suffer_v in_o this_o present_a world_n do_v proceed_v of_o sin_n and_o why_o so_o for_o be_v not_o this_o corruption_n in_o our_o

much_o more_o manifest_v towards_o such_o people_n than_o if_o they_o have_v no_o such_o great_a affliction_n as_o for_o example_n if_o god_n spare_v a_o man_n and_o he_o serve_v god_n we_o see_v that_o god_n bless_v he_o when_o we_o see_v a_o sound_n and_o holy_a life_n in_o one_o we_o will_v say_v here_o be_v a_o man_n that_o serve_v god_n and_o god_n also_o show_v himself_o gracious_a
