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 order_n that_o god_n hold_v in_o nature_n but_o also_o of_o that_o which_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o consider_v on_o our_o part_n therefore_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o although_o we_o be_v bear_v 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 there_o shall_v not_o darken_v we_o and_o quite_o overwhelm_v we_o but_o also_o in_o our_o life_n this_o present_a world_n as_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o be_v full_a of_o darkness_n and_o we_o be_v poor_a blind_a soul_n in_o it_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n jesus_n christ_n cess_v not_o to_o enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o gospel_n we_o have_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n which_o be_v as_o burn_a cressette_n too_o we_o and_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n which_o be_v yet_o a_o far_o great_a light_n yea_o even_o as_o it_o be_v the_o light_n of_o high_a noon_n you_o see_v then_o 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 first_o feel_v what_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n environ_v we_o round_o about_o until_o such_o time_n as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n furthermore_o when_o jesus_n christ_n have_v enlighten_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v walk_v in_o hope_n of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n although_o god_n take_v we_o hence_o and_o death_n 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 be_v always_o incomber_v and_o have_v not_o their_o perfect_a joy_n so_o long_o as_o they_o dwell_v in_o our_o body_n and_o till_o that_o god_n take_v they_o up_o to_o himself_o for_o a_o do_v true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o think_v upon_o death_n alone_o by_o itself_o without_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o any_o high_a god_n may_v now_o and_o then_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o same_o point_n that_o he_o bring_v job._n job_n have_v both_o faith_n and_o hope_n of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n and_o yet_o for_o a_o little_a while_o he_o be_v overraught_v with_o such_o a_o fear_n as_o he_o conceive_v nothing_o else_o in_o death_n but_o all_o confusion_n and_o disorder_n for_o when_o he_o look_v to_o his_o grave_n he_o see_v hell_n open_a to_o swallow_v he_o up_o and_o the_o have_v of_o such_o conceit_n grieve_v job_n much_o more_o than_o all_o the_o torment_n that_o he_o can_v endure_v in_o his_o body_n but_o like_a as_o god_n do_v pluck_v he_o out_o in_o the_o end_n and_o give_v he_o victory_n against_o such_o temptation_n so_o will_v he_o do_v to_o we_o likewise_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v warn_v hereby_o that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o walk_v wary_o pray_v our_o good_a god_n that_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o call_v we_o to_o account_v in_o
but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o evil_a like_n so_o he_o consent_v not_o thorough_o to_o it_o the_o papist_n say_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o and_o that_o be_v a_o horrible_a blasphemy_n it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n &_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o mind_n &_o strength_n god_n have_v not_o limit_v the_o love_n that_o we_o owe_v unto_o he_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v only_o in_o our_o heart_n &_o mind_n but_o he_o say_v that_o our_o wit_n reason_n and_o understanding_n &_o all_o our_o strength_n that_o be_v to_o say_v all_o the_o ability_n &_o power_n that_o be_v in_o our_o nature_n must_v also_o be_v thorough_o apply_v thereunto_o now_o than_o if_o a_o man_n conceyve_fw-mi any_o evil_a although_o he_o consent_v not_o to_o it_o nor_o yield_v his_o affection_n full_o thereunto_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v he_o love_n god_n with_o all_o his_o mind_n no_o if_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o little_a a_o piece_n of_o himself_o incline_v to_o corruption_n although_o with_o all_o the_o rest_n he_o endeavour_v himself_o to_o accomplish_v the_o law_n do_v he_o love_n god_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v no_o undoubted_o for_o sin_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o transgress_a of_o god_n law_n therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o all_o the_o vain_a thought_n which_o provoke_v we_o unto_o evil_n be_v sin_n and_o that_o we_o be_v guilty_n of_o they_o too_o godward_o unless_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n but_o he_o forgive_v they_o to_o those_o that_o be_v he_o nevertheless_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o for_o sin_n and_o whosoever_o do_v flatter_v himself_o do_v but_o provoke_v god_n wrath_n and_o cover_v the_o mischief_n too_o his_o own_o damnation_n for_o in_o the_o end_n his_o hypocrisy_n must_v be_v discover_v and_o lay_v open_a to_o be_v punish_v with_o all_o the_o rest_n they_o then_o which_o imagine_v that_o they_o do_v not_o amiss_o nor_o offend_v god_n when_o they_o be_v tempt_v to_o evil_a gain_v nothing_o by_o it_o neither_o do_v they_o amend_v their_o market_n for_o needs_o must_v that_o hypocrisy_n of_o they_o be_v grievous_o punish_v wherefore_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o although_o we_o consent_v not_o to_o evil_a but_o only_o be_v as_o it_o be_v tickle_v with_o it_o and_o have_v some_o like_n of_o it_o howbeit_o that_o we_o withstand_v it_o it_o be_v already_o a_o fault_n &_o oversight_n in_o we_o if_o we_o do_v but_o conceive_v such_o evil_a like_n it_o already_o bewrayerh_n the_o corruptness_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o sure_o if_o evil_a dwell_v not_o in_o we_o &_o that_o we_o be_v not_o already_o turn_v away_o from_o the_o soundness_n &_o clearness_n which_o god_n have_v put_v in_o the_o first_o man_n out_o of_o all_o doubt_n we_o shall_v have_v our_o eyesight_n much_o more_o pure_a and_o chaste_a than_o it_o be_v &_o all_o our_o sense_n as_o our_o hear_n our_o speak_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n shall_v be_v so_o pure_a &_o clean_a as_o they_o shall_v have_v no_o stain_n in_o they_o and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o let_v we_o consider_v well_o how_o moses_n say_v that_o when_o satan_n come_v to_o beguile_v eve_n &_o consequent_o her_o husband_n after_o that_o they_o have_v give_v ear_n unto_o he_o and_o be_v corrupt_v with_o desirousness_n to_o be_v like_a unto_o god_n they_o look_v upon_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o see_v it_o be_v to_o be_v like_v for_o the_o obtain_n of_o knowledge_n and_o how_o look_v they_o upon_o it_o have_v not_o adam_n and_o eve_n see_v it_o already_o before_o for_o god_n have_v say_v unto_o they_o eat_v not_o of_o the_o fruit_n that_o i_o have_v forbid_v you_o for_o in_o what_o hour_n soever_o you_o eat_v thereof_o i_o tell_v you_o plain_o you_o be_v separate_v from_o i_o &_o condemn_v to_o death_n so_o than_o you_o see_v that_o adam_n &_o eve_n have_v look_v upon_o the_o tree_n before_o and_o why_o then_o do_v moses_n lay_v it_o now_o too_o their_o charge_n as_o a_o sin_n because_o they_o do_v behold_v it_o with_o a_o like_n of_o it_o that_o be_v too_o say_v with_o a_o ungracious_a and_o untoward_a lust_n in_o that_o they_o think_v it_o good_a to_o eat_v of_o and_o whereof_o come_v that_o even_o of_o their_o heart_n which_o be_v corrupt_v do_v immediate_o mar_v their_o eyesight_n and_o like_v as_o when_o a_o man_n have_v his_o eysighte_n mar_v with_o overmuche_o drink_v there_o be_v some_o inward_a disease_n and_o some_o burn_a or_o some_o other_o uncomme_v go_v before_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o eye_n or_o like_v as_o when_o a_o man_n become_v blind_a there_o go_v common_o some_o rheum_n or_o some_o other_o like_o thing_n before_o which_o in_o process_n of_o time_n take_v away_o his_o sight_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o all_o the_o wicked_a look_n which_o be_v to_o be_v condemn_v for_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o already_o infect_v and_o corrupt_v with_o some_o lewd_a like_n the_o eye_n as_o i_o say_v shall_v be_v pure_a &_o clean_a of_o himself_o so_o as_o we_o may_v behold_v god_n creature_n and_o not_o be_v tempt_v too_o any_o wickedness_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o can_v as_o now_o open_v our_o eye_n but_o we_o shall_v conceive_v some_o wicked_a lust_n nor_o can_v say_v this_o be_v fair_a or_o that_o be_v good_a but_o immediate_o we_o offend_v god_n be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a untowardness_n so_o then_o let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o cause_n thereof_o be_v the_o reign_v of_o sin_n in_o we_o which_o doubtless_o have_v hold_v such_o possession_n of_o we_o ever_o since_o adam_n fall_n that_o our_o nature_n be_v so_o corrupt_v as_o we_o can_v look_v upon_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v term_v fair_a and_o beautiful_a but_o that_o in_o

glorify_v god_n and_o of_o be_v provoke_v too_o love_v he_o we_o can_v commend_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v fair_a and_o good_a but_o therewithal_o our_o conceit_n be_v tickle_v yea_o &_o stir_v up_o either_o to_o covetousness_n or_o to_o whoredom_n or_o too_o voluptuousness_n to_o be_v short_a look_v whatsoever_o be_v fair_a or_o good_a under_o heaven_n the_o same_o turn_v we_o away_o from_o our_o god_n whereas_o it_o ought_v to_o lead_v we_o unto_o he_o be_v not_o god_n the_o wellspring_n of_o all_o beauty_n and_o goodness_n yes_o and_o sure_o the_o say_v wicked_a lust_n neither_o reign_v nor_o aught_o to_o reign_v in_o the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o i_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o be_v natural_o in_o man_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n have_v wrought_v in_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v not_o be_v so_o pervert_v nor_o have_v their_o wit_n so_o corrupt_v as_o to_o draw_v always_o unto_o evil_a but_o yet_o shall_v they_o always_o have_v some_o

that_o god_n have_v no_o care_n of_o he_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o endure_v any_o adversity_n and_o behold_v it_o be_v a_o blasphemy_n yea_o and_o a_o curse_a blasphemy_n if_o we_o consent_v unto_o it_o and_o that_o our_o mind_n do_v rest_n never_o so_o little_a upon_o it_o notwithstanding_o that_o our_o will_n do_v not_o full_o purpose_v it_o now_o than_o we_o see_v that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v

be_v a_o transgress_v of_o his_o law_n as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o already_o also_o it_o can_v but_o proceed_v from_o a_o evil_a fountain_n for_o the_o eye_n of_o itself_o shall_v not_o be_v

for_o it_o furthermore_o sorasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v man_n so_o turmoil_v with_o unquietness_n and_o torment_v themselves_o with_o their_o own_o affection_n and_o lust_n we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o

for_o even_o in_o the_o papacy_n it_o will_v be_v confess_v that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o god_n grace_n not_o only_o in_o forgyve_a our_o sin_n but_o also_o in_o aid_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a

yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v also_o that_o to_o the_o worldward_o man_n stand_v great_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o such_o as_o have_v any_o wit_n or_o

therefore_o be_v fain_o to_o knock_v we_o hard_o upon_o the_o head_n with_o great_a beetle_n to_o beat_v we_o down_o for_o if_o he_o shall_v let_v we_o alone_o as_o we_o be_v pride_n will_v dwell_v

ghost_n speak_v to_o we_o of_o the_o uncleanness_n which_o be_v in_o we_o by_o nature_n as_o when_o david_n in_o the_o one_o and_o five_o psalm_n say_v that_o he_o be_v beget_v in_o sin_n and_o that_o his_o mother_n conceive_v he_o in_o sin_n he_o accuse_v not_o neither_o his_o father_n nor_o his_o mother_n but_o plead_v guilty_n for_o himself_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o be_v

contrary_n wherefore_o say_v he_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o come_v of_o uncleanness_n can_v be_v pure_a &_o clean_a his_o intent_n be_v to_o seek_v some_o startinghole_n to_o abate_v the_o damnation_n that_o lie_v upon_o all_o man_n but_o it_o be_v clean_o contrariwise_o as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o text_n that_o i_o allege_v out_o of_o david_n for_o after_o that_o david_n have_v acknowledge_v his_o horrible_a sin_n whereby_o he_o have_v offend_v god_n he_o hold_v not_o himself_o content_v with_o that_o but_o pass_v further_o say_v alas_o lord_n it_o be_v not_o only_o in_o my_o life_n time_n that_o i_o have_v do_v amiss_o but_o i_o have_v also_o bring_v such_o a_o possession_n of_o sin_n from_o my_o birth_n that_o ever_o since_o i_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n i_o

it_o behoove_v we_o to_o look_v that_o we_o build_v upon_o it_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o all_o thing_n be_v answerable_a thereunto_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o build_v well_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o found_v the_o church_n upon_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o have_v such_o a_o conformity_n in_o it_o as_o

ground_v upon_o good_a and_o rightful_a reason_n it_o behove_v each_o one_o of_o we_o to_o stand_v upon_o his_o guard_n that_o he_o reel_v not_o ne_o waver_v not_o one_o way_n or_o other_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o easy_a than_o to_o mar_v a_o good_a and_o rightful_a matter_n so_o sinful_a be_v our_o nature_n as_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n at_o all_o time_n god_n of_o his_o grace_n may_v give_v we_o a_o good_a case_n and_o yet_o we_o may_v be_v so_o sting_v by_o our_o enemy_n that_o we_o can_v not_o hold_v ourselves_o within_o our_o
we_o say_v that_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o present_a life_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o sin_n we_o have_v occasion_n too_o sigh_v not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v so_o miserable_a or_o for_o that_o our_o state_n be_v so_o hard_a and_o troublesome_a but_o for_o that_o we_o be_v give_v to_o so_o much_o naughtiness_n and_o to_o so_o great_a rebelliousness_n against_o god_n that_o whereas_o his_o image_n ought_v to_o shine_v forth_o in_o we_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o have_v conspire_v too_o do_v he_o spite_v and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n lament_v and_o we_o see_v here_o the_o true_a sorrow_n which_o christian_n ought_v to_o make_v but_o not_o for_o their_o have_v of_o cold_a and_o heat_n not_o for_o their_o endure_v of_o disease_n and_o other_o calamity_n but_o for_o that_o they_o see_v themselves_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o prison_n and_o bondage_n of_o sin_n wretch_n that_o i_o be_o say_v saint_n paul_n and_o say_v he_o so_o because_o he_o be_v impatient_a or_o for_o that_o he_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o god_n no_o but_o for_o that_o he_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o show_v we_o that_o in_o this_o present_a life_n we_o have_v cause_n too_o sigh_v and_o groan_v without_o cease_v and_o why_o so_o for_o we_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o a_o deadly_a prison_n and_o be_v subject_v too_o so_o many_o wicked_a lust_n as_o we_o can_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n attain_v to_o dedicate_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a number_n of_o our_o corruption_n which_o cease_v not_o too_o provoke_v we_o unto_o evil_a thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o may_v lament_v our_o case_n after_o the_o example_n of_o saint_n paul_n who_o give_v we_o a_o rule_n thereof_o but_o here_o we_o see_v how_o job_n curse_v the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n wherein_o he_o be_v not_o too_o be_v excuse_v neither_o can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o overshoot_v not_o himself_o and_o why_o so_o for_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o join_v they_o both_o together_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n create_v we_o he_o also_o print_v his_o own_o image_n in_o we_o and_o do_v we_o the_o honour_n too_o be_v the_o excellent_a of_o all_o his_o creature_n in_o which_o respect_n we_o have_v cause_n too_o bliss_n his_o name_n continual_o and_o although_o this_o life_n be_v so_o full_a of_o misery_n as_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o yet_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o as_o we_o can_v not_o sufficient_o value_v the_o inestimable_a benefit_n that_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o in_o give_v we_o this_o present_a life_n because_o that_o by_o maintain_v we_o therein_o he_o make_v we_o too_o feel_v by_o experience_n that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o and_o will_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n forsake_v we_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v see_v we_o have_v this_o have_v we_o not_o whereof_o too_o rejoice_v even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o our_o adversity_n so_o then_o the_o faithful_a man_n which_o speak_v with_o good_a advisement_n will_v never_o curse_v the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n what_o misery_n soever_o he_o endure_v job_n therefore_o behave_v himself_o unthankful_o to_o godward_o in_o curse_v so_o the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n and_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o he_o deserve_v not_o blame_v for_o pass_v his_o bound_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n may_v also_o bliss_n their_o byrthday_n i_o mean_v in_o not_o consider_v their_o want_n too_o bewail_v themselves_o with_o saint_n paul_n but_o simple_o in_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n give_v they_o when_o he_o send_v they_o into_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o heathen_a man_n abuse_v it_o for_o when_o they_o solemnize_v their_o byrthday_n they_o do_v it_o too_o exceed_v in_o many_o folly_n and_o superfluous_a pomp_n but_o the_o very_a original_n and_o wellspring_n of_o the_o solemnize_n of_o byrthdaye_n be_v for_o that_o the_o holy_a father_n know_v it_o be_v good_a reason_n too_o yield_v god_n thanks_n and_o therefore_o they_o hold_v that_o day_n as_o a_o solemn_a feast_n to_o the_o end_n to_o provoke_v themselves_o to_o praise_v god_n yea_o very_o for_o when_o we_o have_v pass_v some_o year_n of_o our_o life_n although_o we_o ought_v too_o call_v god_n benefit_n too_o remembrance_n incessant_o yet_o be_v it_o requisite_a that_o at_o the_o day_n of_o our_o entrance_n into_o the_o world_n there_o shall_v be_v keep_v a_o everlasting_a memorial_n of_o they_o so_o as_o we_o may_v say_v i_o see_v well_o that_o this_o year_n be_v past_a god_n have_v bring_v i_o hitherto_o i_o have_v off_o end_v he_o many_o way_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o i_o shall_v now_o ask_v he_o forgiveness_n but_o above_o all_o thing_n he_o have_v show_v i_o great_a favour_n he_o have_v maintain_v i_o always_o in_o hope_n of_o the_o salvation_n that_o he_o have_v give_v i_o and_o he_o have_v deliver_v i_o from_o many_o danger_n and_o therefore_o it_o become_v i_o too_o call_v the_o same_o to_o remembrance_n and_o now_o that_o i_o be_o too_o enter_v into_o another_o year_n it_o be_v good_a that_o i_o prepare_v myself_o to_o the_o

hundred_o thousand_o time_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a father_n be_v wont_v to_o solemnize_v their_o byrthdaye_n and_o how_o it_o be_v a_o good_a and_o profitable_a exercise_n the_o heathen_a man_n i_o say_v have_v abuse_v it_o and_o we_o see_v at_o this_o day_n how_o they_o that_o call_v themselves_o christian_n do_v play_v flat_a mockholyday_n with_o god_n when_o they_o solemnize_v their_o byrthdaye_n for_o they_o make_v no_o reckon_v of_o prayer_n nor_o of_o thanksgiving_n nor_o of_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o their_o sin_n nor_o of_o god_n benefit_n but_o of_o pamper_v themselves_o after_o a_o beastly_a manner_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v it_o behove_v we_o always_o too_o bliss_n god_n upon_o our_o byrthdaye_n and_o why_o for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n have_v set_v we_o here_o in_o this_o world_n too_o be_v his_o child_n he_o have_v not_o put_v we_o forth_o as_o ox_n and_o dog_n but_o as_o reasonable_a creature_n that_o bear_v his_o image_n and_o further_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryst_n and_o that_o besides_o our_o creation_n god_n have_v also_o moreover_o print_v his_o mark_n

double_a and_o so_o they_o that_o curse_v the_o day_n of_o their_o birth_n by_o chafe_v at_o the_o misery_n and_o affliction_n that_o they_o endure_v show_v well_o that_o they_o be_v unthankful_a and_o that_o their_o own_o affliction_n do_v too_o much_o overmaster_v they_o even_o so_o stand_v the_o case_n with_o job._n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v the_o more_o cause_n too_o pray_v unto_o

return_v by_o and_o by_o again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v here_o but_o when_o it_o be_v say_v curse_a be_v the_o night_n wherein_o word_n be_v

out_o of_o ourselves_o and_o yet_o of_o all_o the_o while_o we_o perceive_v not_o that_o god_n scourge_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o the_o
fountain_n of_o all_o the_o adversity_n &_o mishap_n that_o we_o endure_v here_o below_o must_v be_v seek_v for_o in_o our_o own_o life_n then_o be_v we_o warn_v by_o this_o sentence_n that_o when_o we_o hear_v speak_v of_o the_o misery_n of_o man_n life_n and_o that_o each_o one_o of_o we_o also_o feel_v his_o part_n and_o portion_n thereof_o our_o wit_n must_v not_o wander_v abroad_o nor_o fetch_v long_a windlass_n atoneside_n or_o at_o but_o every_o man_n must_v enter_v into_o himself_o too_o search_v out_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o find_v that_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o we_o be_v beset_v round_o about_o with_o so_o many_o necessity_n and_o our_o life_n subject_a to_o this_o so_o wretched_a state_n why_o so_o for_o like_a as_o wood_n carry_v that_o nature_n and_o property_n in_o it_o that_o he_o receive_v fire_n and_o kindle_v easy_o so_o also_o stand_v the_o case_n with_o we_o for_o we_o have_v sin_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o wood_n and_o matter_n of_o all_o affliction_n whereupon_o come_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n &_o so_o must_v we_o needs_o be_v consume_v the_o sparkle_v therefore_o do_v fly_v aloft_o say_v eliphas_n and_o yet_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o secret_a operation_n in_o the_o steel_n when_o it_o be_v strike_v upon_o the_o stith_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o spark_n will_v pass_v out_o even_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o fire_n of_o all_o our_o misery_n be_v enclose_v in_o ourselves_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v profit_v great_o if_o we_o bear_v away_o this_o lesson_n for_o although_o every_o one_o of_o we_o confess_v that_o god_n scourge_v we_o just_o yet_o do_v we_o not_o enter_v into_o this_o foresay_a consideration_n but_o rather_o labour_v to_o shun_v it_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v whensoever_o a_o man_n have_v any_o adversity_n god_n knock_v at_o his_o door_n and_o provoke_v he_o to_o think_v upon_o his_o sin_n but_o the_o man_n make_v none_o account_v of_o it_o yea_o rather_o which_o worse_o be_v he_o sleep_v sound_o in_o his_o adversity_n and_o father_v it_o either_o upon_o this_o thing_n or_o upon_o that_o and_o he_o will_v find_v some_o casual_a chance_n or_o other_o which_o he_o go_v to_o seek_v a_o great_a way_n off_o and_o never_o enter_v into_o the_o examination_n of_o his_o own_o life_n therefore_o whereas_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o so_o many_o misery_n and_o want_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o take_v the_o whole_a burden_n and_o blame_n of_o it_o upon_o ourselves_o and_o not_o charge_v either_o heaven_n or_o earth_n with_o it_o as_o for_o example_n when_o we_o see_v the_o weather_n distemper_v so_o as_o there_o come_v frost_n or_o thunder_n or_o hail_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o it_o be_v not_o the_o air_n that_o be_v so_o dispose_v of_o itself_o or_o if_o there_o come_v a_o drought_n it_o be_v not_o the_o heaven_n that_o be_v so_o harden_v of_o it_o own_o nature_n or_o if_o the_o earth_n be_v barren_a it_o proceed_v not_o of_o it_o own_o kind_n but_o we_o ourselves_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o and_o therefore_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v bear_v unto_o it_o eliphas_n presuppose_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v bear_v to_o evil_a and_o be_v whole_o incline_v to_o overmany_a vice_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v handle_v thereafter_o and_o that_o god_n shall_v answer_v we_o according_a as_o we_o come_v unto_o he_o but_o very_o we_o bring_v all_o corruption_n with_o we_o out_o of_o our_o mother_n womb_n so_o as_o we_o be_v natural_o give_v to_o naughtiness_n and_o sin_n and_o therefore_o must_v our_o state_n be_v suitable_a thereunto_o that_o be_v to_o say_v forasmuch_o as_o god_n find_v we_o to_o be_v such_o he_o must_v also_o send_v we_o that_o which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v convenient_a just_a and_o rightful_a for_o we_o and_o so_o eliphas_n mean_v not_o that_o god_n create_v we_o of_o purpose_n to_o deal_v so_o hardly_o with_o we_o but_o he_o take_v man_n in_o his_o corrupt_a nature_n ever_o since_o he_o be_v turn_v away_o from_o god_n &_o say_v it_o be_v requisite_a that_o his_o estate_n shall_v be_v such_o as_o it_o be_v because_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o conceive_v how_o god_n spread_v out_o his_o goodness_n upon_o we_o and_o intreat_v we_o gentle_o as_o if_o we_o be_v obedient_a unto_o he_o in_o all_o point_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o man_n do_v never_o humble_v themselves_o except_o they_o be_v constrain_v thereto_o by_o force_n but_o endeavour_n to_o strive_v against_o god_n eliphas_n add_v here_o another_o sentence_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o turn_v himself_o unto_o god_n and_o purpose_v to_o reason_n with_o he_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v man_n can_v abide_v to_o receive_v this_o doctrine_n namely_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v scourge_v and_o therefore_o that_o they_o must_v not_o strive_v against_o it_o but_o take_v all_o in_o good_a worth_n &_o not_o blame_v the_o other_o creature_n for_o the_o misery_n that_o they_o endure_v but_o rather_o acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o man_n they_o can_v stoop_v to_o conceive_v that_o this_o be_v true_a except_o they_o be_v make_v to_o stoop_v by_o show_v they_o what_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v and_o therefore_o until_o we_o have_v our_o sin_n lay_v afore_o we_o and_o be_v make_v to_o perceive_v how_o it_o be_v god_n with_o who_o we_o have_v too_o deal_v there_o be_v not_o that_o man_n which_o will_v not_o hold_v himself_o aloof_o or_o that_o have_v not_o his_o answer_n ready_a at_o his_o tongue_n end_n or_o that_o set_v not_o some_o colour_n upon_o his_o misdo_n and_o though_o we_o be_v not_o altogether_o rebellious_a yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o will_v be_v such_o a_o carelessness_n in_o we_o that_o whatsoever_o man_n sayto_o we_o it_o be_v all_o one_o and_o we_o be_v neither_o grieve_v nor_o move_v at_o all_o our_o vice_n what_o must_v we_o do_v the_o we_o shall_v never_o learn_v true_a humility_n until_o we_o be_v make_v to_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v god_n to_o who_o we_o must_v answer_v that_o we_o be_v cite_v to_o appear_v at_o his_o throne_n to_o feel_v he_o our_o judge_v and_o moreover_o also_o that_o we_o can_v escape_v his_o hand_n but_o that_o all_o our_o life_n must_v be_v know_v and_o examine_v there_o when_o we_o be_v bring_v to_o this_o point_n that_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o look_v unto_o god_n we_o begin_v after_o a_o sort_n to_o rouse_v up_o ourselves_o so_o as_o we_o be_v no_o more_o so_o careless_a &_o drowsy_a as_o we_o be_v there_o be_v no_o more_o of_o this_o loftiness_n and_o fond_a overween_a to_o sooth_n and_o flatter_v ourselves_o withal_o we_o come_v to_o have_v some_o feel_n and_o perceive_v of_o our_o misery_n but_o above_o all_o when_o god_n majesty_n be_v set_v before_o our_o eye_n it_o be_v too_o make_v we_o feel_v how_o dreadful_a it_o be_v and_o when_o his_o greatness_n be_v set_v afore_o we_o it_o make_v we_o too_o tremble_v yet_o the_o more_o we_o see_v it_o be_v no_o sport_v matter_n here_o be_v no_o sleep_v for_o we_o nor_o no_o bear_v of_o our_o self_n in_o hand_n with_o this_o or_o that_o wherefore_o for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o room_n for_o flattery_n when_o god_n who_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n appeareth_z and_o make_v we_o to_o come_v never_o unto_o he_o so_o as_o we_o perceive_v how_o it_o be_v he_o that_o make_v the_o mountain_n to_o melt_v and_o be_v able_a to_o make_v clean_a riddance_n of_o all_o thing_n therefore_o when_o we_o know_v this_o greatness_n of_o god_n needs_o must_v we_o sink_v under_o it_o and_o forget_v all_o pride_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o intent_n of_o eliphas_n but_o now_o must_v we_o consider_v this_o doctrine_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o ourselves_o first_o of_o all_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o feel_v not_o ourselves_o sufficient_o waken_v to_o condemn_v ourselves_o in_o our_o sin_n let_v we_o use_v the_o order_n that_o be_v set_v down_o to_o we_o here_o which_o be_v to_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n how_o be_v that_o we_o may_v see_v some_o man_n that_o be_v sufficient_o convince_v of_o his_o sin_n who_o notwithstanding_o go_v on_o still_o and_o follow_v his_o own_o swinge_n and_o if_o he_o be_v reprove_v or_o else_o otherwise_o feel_v remorse_n in_o his_o own_o conscience_n he_o pass_v it_o over_o and_o take_v no_o great_a grief_n for_o it_o and_o why_o so_o because_o he_o have_v not_o his_o eye_n upon_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o make_v we_o to_o continue_v in_o our_o sin_n you_o see_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o be_v not_o cast_v down_o with_o true_a humility_n namely_o because_o we_o
be_v great_o too_o the_o deface_a of_o my_o glory_n and_o majesty_n you_o see_v then_o what_o job_n chief_a meaning_n be_v furthermore_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n that_o this_o present_a sentence_n be_v not_o like_a that_o of_o the_o eight_o psalm_n where_o it_o be_v say_v lord_n what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o make_v so_o much_o of_o he_o you_o see_v here_o how_o the_o word_n be_v set_v in_o their_o proper_a signification_n but_o in_o job_n say_v they_o be_v take_v clean_o contrary_a for_o in_o the_o say_a text_n of_o the_o psalm_n which_o i_o have_v allege_v david_n recount_v god_n infinite_a goodness_n in_o that_o he_o think_v so_o upon_o his_o creature_n and_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v too_o have_v a_o care_n of_o they_o too_o guide_v they_o and_o to_o govern_v they_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o man_n in_o himself_o you_o shall_v see_v so_o poor_a a_o creature_n as_o it_o may_v well_o seem_v that_o god_n ought_v not_o too_o have_v respect_n of_o he_o or_o too_o cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o he_o now_o then_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n not_o only_o vouchsafe_v too_o govern_v man_n but_o also_o make_v they_o lord_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v there_o that_o he_o have_v make_v both_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n and_o the_o bird_n of_o the_o air_n and_o the_o fish_n of_o the_o sea_n too_o serve_v our_o turn_n withal_o see_v he_o have_v so_o dispose_v all_o thing_n to_o serve_v we_o and_o to_o succour_v our_o necessity_n it_o seem_v that_o god_n bear_v we_o such_o a_o love_n as_o he_o put_v all_o that_o he_o have_v under_o our_o hand_n say_v i_o withhold_v nothing_o from_o you_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o wretchedness_n and_o poorness_n of_o man_n yield_v a_o great_a beauty_n to_o god_n goodness_n and_o mercy_n than_o if_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o that_o can_v provoke_v he_o to_o do_v we_o good_a thus_o you_o see_v david_n plain_n mean_v and_o this_o thing_n be_v special_o fulfil_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o although_o he_o be_v the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o so_o it_o be_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o manhood_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n and_o be_v full_o like_o we_o in_o all_o point_n sin_n only_o except_v and_o so_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v make_v much_o of_o he_o by_o give_v all_o thing_n into_o his_o hand_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v recover_v that_o thing_n in_o he_o which_o we_o lose_v in_o adam_n therein_o god_n have_v show_v the_o great_a and_o infinite_a treasure_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o very_o jesus_n christe_o be_v the_o true_a look_a glass_n of_o god_n grace_n which_o afterward_o be_v spread_v out_o upon_o all_o his_o member_n and_o so_o after_o the_o example_n of_o david_n we_o have_v good_a cause_n too_o exalt_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n when_o we_o see_v that_o have_v begin_v first_o in_o adam_n and_o afterward_o in_o jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o all_o

punish_v whoredom_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o all_o cleanliness_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n thus_o you_o see_v then_o how_o it_o be_v god_n will_v that_o man_n

such_o a_o one_o yea_o even_o because_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o wicked_a and_o dissolute_a life_n he_o have_v execute_v his_o vengeance_n upon_o such_o a_o country_n and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v

already_o he_o hold_v not_o on_o all_o by_o one_o rule_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v come_v up_o high_o and_o say_v that_o god_n be_v always_o righteous_a how_o so_o ever_o he_o

and_o that_o he_o forsake_v the_o residue_n they_o think_v it_o very_o strange_a to_o be_v speak_v because_o they_o can_v not_o comprehend_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o these_o rogue_n that_o counterfeit_v to_o be_v great_a clerk_n overturn_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o prove_v god_n righteousness_n even_o after_o their_o own_o fancy_n and_o why_o be_v that_o by_o cause_n they_o can_v not_o mount_v so_o high_a as_o too_o know_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o comparison_n of_o man_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o stand_v

sinner_n before_o god_n for_o no_o man_n be_v righteous_a they_o go_v no_o further_o with_o their_o fault_n but_o so_o which_o be_v so_o hideous_a as_o may_v be_v but_o shroud_v themselves_o under_o the_o cloak_n of_o natural_a infirmity_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o can_v be_v equal_a with_o god_n they_o think_v they_o have_v do_v very_o much_o in_o yield_v such_o a_o confession_n but_o i_o have_v show_v already_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o have_v both_o these_o two_o point_n the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v god_n to_o be_v righteous_a in_o

be_v abash_v both_o great_a and_o small_a lo_o here_o one_o special_a point_n the_o other_o be_v that_o each_o man_n shall_v have_v a_o eye_n particular_o to_o himself_o and_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v sorry_a for_o his_o fault_n and_o abhor_v they_o and_o condemn_v they_o and_o that_o hereupon_o we_o shall_v also_o consider_v the_o vengeance_n and_o punishment_n which_o god_n send_v upon_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v learn_v to_o fare_v the_o better_a thereby_o if_o we_o be_v beat_v with_o his_o rod_n let_v every_o of_o we_o say_v it_o be_v good_a right_n i_o have_v well_o deserve_v it_o if_o god_n teach_v we_o at_o other_o man_n cost_n so_o as_o he_o chastize_v other_o man_n before_o our_o eye_n let_v the_o same_o touch_v we_o and_o let_v we_o apply_v such_o example_n to_o our_o own_o instruction_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o prevent_v the_o matter_n that_o god_n be_v not_o compel_v to_o fall_v upon_o we_o because_o we_o have_v not_o profit_v by_o the_o chastisement_n which_o he_o have_v show_v we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o other_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o two_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o to_o put_v in_o ure_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o lay_v forth_o of_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o by_o job._n i_o know_v for_o a_o truth_n say_v he_o that_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v justify_v with_o god._n so_o it_o be_v set_v down_o but_o this_o word_n with_o import_v as_o much_o as_o to_o godward_o and_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o great_a weight_n if_o a_o man_n know_v it_o well_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n justify_v themselves_o so_o bold_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o they_o presume_v so_o much_o of_o themselves_o that_o they_o set_v so_o much_o store_n by_o themselves_o and_o that_o they_o be_v so_o full_a of_o pride_n what_o else_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o but_o only_o their_o stay_n here_o below_o that_o every_o man_n compare_v himself_o with_o his_o neighbour_n you_o see_v then_o whereunto_o we_o run_v and_o you_o see_v also_o why_o saint_n paul_n send_v we_o to_o the_o great_a judge_n say_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v bear_v his_o own_o burden_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v my_o friend_n man_n beguile_v themselves_o when_o they_o make_v such_o comparison_n as_o these_o what_o i_o see_v other_o man_n live_v no_o better_a than_o myself_o and_o if_o i_o have_v fault_n in_o i_o so_o have_v other_o man_n in_o they_o too_o you_o see_v then_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n condemn_v not_o themselves_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o rather_o soothe_v themselves_o in_o justify_v their_o own_o case_n but_o here_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v justify_v with_o god_n what_o must_v we_o then_o do_v as_o oft_o as_o any_o man_n speak_v to_o we_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o lay_v they_o afore_o we_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o know_v that_o we_o must_v not_o hold_v our_o eye_n here_o below_o but_o look_v up_o to_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n where_o we_o have_v our_o account_v to_o make_v we_o must_v know_v the_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n of_o god_n therefore_o let_v every_o man_n think_v thereof_o and_o then_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o be_v waken_v to_o withdraw_v ourselves_o out_o of_o our_o folly_n and_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o of_o these_o vain_a imagination_n and_o dotage_n that_o have_v be_v wont_a to_o rock_n sinner_n asleep_a have_v this_o be_v observe_v there_o shall_v be_v none_o of_o the_o debate_n that_o be_v now_o adays_o in_o christendom_n about_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n the_o papist_n can_v not_o be_v persuade_v of_o this_o that_o we_o say_v namely_o that_o we_o become_v righteous_a through_o the_o mere_a favour_n of_o god_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o why_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o merit_n say_v they_o and_o of_o the_o good_a work_n wherein_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n consist_v and_o why_o do_v the_o papist_n stand_v so_o upon_o their_o merit_n and_o why_o be_v they_o so_o besot_v with_o they_o but_o because_o they_o look_v not_o up_o to_o god_n they_o dispute_v in_o their_o school_n whether_o good_a work_n deserve_v recompense_n and_o wage_n as_o well_o as_o evil_a work_n deserve_v punishment_n for_o they_o be_v thing_n flat_o contrary_a if_o man_n sin_n deserve_v to_o be_v punish_v then_o must_v there_o also_o be_v some_o reward_n for_o virtue_n for_o otherwise_o god_n justice_n shall_v not_o be_v indifferent_a yea_o to_o our_o seem_n and_o so_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 whole_o possess_v as_o nothing_o may_v assuage_v my_o grief_n this_o be_v it_o that_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o the_o wound_n which_o god_n make_v when_o he_o show_v himself_o as_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 certain_a that_o we_o be_v so_o overwhelm_v with_o sorrow_n as_o nothing_o may_v comfort_v we_o nor_o give_v we_o patientness_n now_o we_o see_v what_o job_n meaning_n be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n 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 declaration_n that_o can_v be_v make_v to_o he_o to_o comfort_v he_o withal_o but_o we_o must_v always_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v declare_v heretofore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_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 do_v god_n regard_v i_o no_o for_o behold_v pine_v away_o &_o i_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o yet_o i_o find_v no_o comfort_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o have_v shake_v i_o off_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

party_n be_v in_o such_o temptation_n for_o a_o time_n do_v god_n suffer_v his_o faith_n to_o perish_v and_o to_o be_v utter_o disfeat_v no_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o faith_n be_v a_o

of_o satan_n policy_n to_o drive_v we_o to_o despair_n by_o bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n handle_v we_o with_o unaccustomed_a rigour_n for_o satan_n will_v tell_v we_o in_o our_o ear_n what_o

unto_o we_o you_o see_v how_o god_n do_v in_o his_o law_n show_v himself_o a_o judge_n too_o condemn_v we_o and_o in_o his_o gospel_n he_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n to_o acquit_v we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o he_o command_v we_o to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o righteous_a and_o therewithal_o threaten_v we_o that_o if_o we_o have_v fail_v in_o any_o thing_n we_o must_v

for_o there_o need_v none_o other_o proof_n to_o show_v that_o all_o man_n be_v curse_v and_o damn_a then_o that_o god_n say_v that_o whosoever_o perform_v not_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v

or_o because_o he_o have_v live_v naughty_o no_o god_n have_v no_o such_o respect_n with_o he_o what_o then_o he_o intend_v that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o mirror_n to_o all_o man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o behold_v he_o we_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o know_v that_o god_n hand_n be_v too_o heavy_a for_o we_o to_o bear_v &_o also_o consider_v our_o own_o frailty_n

there_o be_v two_o reason_n the_o one_o be_v because_o that_o in_o that_o age_n the_o lust_n be_v see_v to_o be_v whote_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n also_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n how_o shall_v a_o young_a man_n order_v his_o way_n even_o by_o keep_v thy_o word_n why_o be_v there_o more_o speak_v of_o young_a folk_n rather_o than_o of_o other_o it_o be_v because_o that_o man_n nature_n which_o be_v always_o sinful_a and_o wicked_a do_v then_o cast_v up_o his_o great_a froth_n and_o have_v then_o most_o boil_a affection_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n of_o strong_a bridle_n forsomuch_o then_o as_o man_n commit_v most_o fault_n in_o their_o youth_n job_n speak_v precise_o there_o of_o and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o david_n say_v lord_n remember_v not_o the_o fault_n of_o my_o youth_n he_o speak_v express_o of_o that_o age_n because_o he_o know_v he_o pass_v it_o not_o without_o offend_v god_n many_o way_n for_o there_o be_v great_a unadvisedness_n and_o unruly_a lust_n wherewith_o a_o young_a man_n be_v blind_v insomuch_o that_o he_o think_v that_o nothing_o be_v unpossible_a to_o he_o there_o be_v no_o staidness_n to_o rule_v he_o withal_o but_o there_o be_v excess_n of_o overween_a and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o so_o you_o see_v one_o reason_n why_o the_o sin_n of_o youth_n be_v speak_v of_o here_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o job_n mean_v to_o declare_v that_o god_n bring_v all_o his_o sin_n too_o remembrance_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v frame_v a_o indictment_n of_o all_o the_o fault_n that_o he_o have_v do_v ever_o since_o he_o be_v a_o child_n and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o complain_v of_o overgreat_a rigour_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v lord_n though_o i_o have_v erewhiles_o do_v amiss_o well_o thou_o

again_o you_o see_v then_o whereat_o job_n amed_z and_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o when_o god_n write_v bitter_o against_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o he_o show_v we_o all_o the_o sign_n

of_o ourselves_o for_o god_n press_v of_o we_o with_o his_o judgement_n be_v because_o he_o see_v well_o that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o such_o and_o so_o vehement_a a_o remedy_n and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o meeken_fw-ge a_o man_n that_o be_v so_o give_v to_o pride_n god_n then_o write_v bitter_o against_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v utter_o abash_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v hide_v himself_o for_o a_o time_n as_o he_o hide_v himself_o from_o job_n according_a as_o he_o will_v say_v hereafter_o wherefore_o hide_v thou_o thy_o face_n from_o i_o but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o after_o god_n have_v hide_v his_o face_n away_o so_o for_o

and_o let_v we_o linger_v in_o pain_n but_o he_o will_v help_v we_o in_o convenient_a season_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o whensoever_o god_n write_v bitter_o against_o we_o it_o be_v to_o

of_o one_o than_o we_o be_v at_o this_o day_n we_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o state_n wherein_o god_n have_v set_v adam_n and_o all_o mankind_n in_o adam_n person_n adam_n be_v create_v after_o the_o

whereof_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n and_o wellspring_n for_o wherein_o lie_v the_o fullness_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n but_o only_o in_o god_n then_o must_v we_o needs_o conclude_v that_o be_v cut_v

and_o we_o come_v not_o of_o adam_n but_o as_o concern_v our_o body_n where_o do_v sin_n dwell_v where_o have_v he_o his_o proper_a seat_n in_o the_o soul_n but_o there_o be_v no_o show_n of_o

we_o too_o understand_v the_o chief_a point_n in_o two_o or_o three_o word_n which_o be_v to_o mind_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o man_n

not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o that_o be_v otherwise_o true_a it_o be_v that_o although_o jesus_n christ_n be_v very_a man_n yet_o be_v he_o exempt_v from_o all_o our_o uncleanness_n but_o that_o be_v because_o he_o be_v concevy_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n ordain_v peculiarly_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v conceive_v by_o power_n from_o above_o and_o why_o to_o the_o

of_o man_n nature_n we_o be_v subject_a too_o the_o say_a corruption_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o find_v any_o one_o mortal_a wight_n that_o be_v not_o full_a of_o all_o unrighteousness_n save_v only_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o why_o for_o let_v we_o mark_v from_o whence_o we_o come_v so_o then_o we_o have_v to_o call_v to_o remembrance_n what_o have_v be_v touch_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n in_o what_o wise_a we_o ought_v to_o allege_v unto_o god_n the_o shortness_n of_o our_o life_n and_o the_o misery_n whereunto_o the_o same_o be_v subject_n which_o be_v to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v have_v pity_n upon_o we_o and_o not_o to_o murmur_v against_o he_o howbeit_o therewithal_o we_o must_v also_o mislike_v of_o our_o own_o life_n and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o if_o we_o wist_v well_o
that_o our_o life_n be_v flightful_a and_o bethink_v we_o of_o the_o misery_n wherewith_o it_o be_v fraught_v and_o as_o it_o be_v pester_v we_o will_v not_o be_v so_o far_o in_o love_n with_o it_o as_o we_o be_v but_o here_o you_o see_v a_o good_a cause_n why_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o waker_n nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o keep_v a_o measure_n in_o this_o

have_v be_v weary_a and_o loath_a to_o live_v in_o this_o world_n yea_o &_o we_o see_v they_o have_v fordo_v themselves_o and_o how_o be_v that_o they_o see_v well_o the_o misery_n that_o be_v here_o but_o we_o must_v not_o come_v too_o such_o extremity_n what_o then_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o our_o life_n vanish_v away_o in_o a_o moment_n let_v we_o consider_v also_o from_o whence_o the_o

from_o our_o father_n adam_n in_o somuch_o as_o all_o of_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o his_o sin_n therefore_o when_o there_o be_v any_o talk_n of_o the_o shortness_n of_o our_o life_n we_o must_v enter_v into_o this_o acknowledgement_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o again_o whence_o come_v all_o the_o misery_n that_o hedge_v we_o in_o round_o about_o but_o because_o we_o be_v banish_v out_o of_o god_n kingdom_n where_o all_o our_o welfare_n lie_v then_o be_v we_o miserable_a so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o god_n but_o we_o be_v separate_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o return_v always_o thither_o when_o we_o have_v learn_v too_o blame_v ourselves_o after_o this_o sort_n we_o shall_v not_o deal_v as_o those_o do_v that_o murmur_n against_o god_n how_o now_o say_v they_o it_o be_v see_v that_o man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a work_n of_o god_n among_o all_o his_o creature_n it_o be_v his_o will_n too_o show_v much_o more_o excellency_n and_o dignity_n in_o they_o than_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n &_o yet_o be_v they_o vex_v &_o trouble_v beyond_o all_o measure_n and_o what_o ●meaneth_v that_o very_o many_o heathenish_a folk_n have_v hereupon_o take_v occasion_n to_o murmur_v against_o god_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v he_o have_v set_v man_n upon_o a_o scaffold_n to_o make_v a_o mockery_n and_o gazingstocke_n of_o he_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o noble_a of_o all_o creature_n but_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o all_o the_o misery_n whereto_o we_o be_v subject_n proceed_v of_o our_o own_o faultiness_n because_o we_o be_v all_o sinful_a we_o shall_v have_v our_o mouth_n stop_v so_o as_o we_o shall_v no_o more_o presume_v to_o murmur_v against_o god_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o yet_o be_v not_o that_o enough_o for_o unless_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o remedy_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n we_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o with_o such_o desperation_n as_o we_o can_v but_o blaspheme_v god_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o those_o which_o fordoo_v themselves_o do_v it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o despite_n of_o god_n and_o why_o for_o although_o they_o have_v know_v themselves_o blameworthy_a of_o their_o own_o misery_n yet_o have_v it_o not_o boot_v they_o to_o the_o assuagement_n of_o their_o sorrow_n &_o heaviness_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v not_o fall_v into_o despair_n let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o that_o which_o be_v able_a to_o assuage_v all_o our_o anguish_n as_o for_o example_n first_o although_o our_o life_n be_v miserable_a yet_o nevertheless_o god_n make_v we_o to_o taste_v of_o his_o goodness_n so_o many_o way_n as_o we_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v right_o happy_a because_o he_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o benefit_n our_o life_n be_v short_a howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o so_o short_a but_o god_n give_v we_o respite_n enough_o to_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n and_o to_o taste_v what_o his_o power_n be_v in_o we_o and_o call_v we_o unto_o he_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v this_o benefit_n past_a a_o

cold_a and_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n and_o be_v diverse_a way_n persecute_v and_o besides_o the_o inconvenience_n that_o happen_v at_o other_o man_n hand_n we_o have_v a_o gulf_n within_o we_o as_o in_o deed_n we_o have_v store_n of_o temptation_n that_o come_v upon_o we_o which_o very_o be_v as_o many_o encumbrance_n yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n give_v we_o some_o taste_n of_o his_o mercy_n in_o that_o we_o see_v he_o hold_v we_o up_o and_o in_o that_o when_o it_o please_v he_o too_o chastise_v we_o either_o he_o give_v we_o patience_n or_o else_o so_o measure_v his_o rigour_n as_o we_o

in_o god_n be_v not_o that_o a_o recompense_n that_o ought_v too_o suffice_v we_o can_v we_o now_o complain_v that_o god_n have_v set_v we_o in_o this_o world_n have_v we_o not_o cause_v rather_o

we_o must_v make_v the_o burden_n so_o heavy_a as_o we_o can_v bear_v it_o no_o more_o for_o indeed_o so_o shall_v god_n be_v true_o glorify_v which_o be_v not_o when_o man_n say_v that_o they_o

as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o eliphas_n do_v job_n great_a injury_n and_o wrong_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n intend_v here_o to_o teach_v we_o the_o order_n

enter_v into_o a_o account_n as_o it_o be_v by_o parcelmeale_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v never_o make_v a_o end_n but_o we_o must_v always_o conclude_v with_o david_n who_o can_v understand_v

this_o be_v a_o evil_a conclusion_n that_o eliphas_n make_v and_o why_o god_n will_v sometime_o punish_v his_o servant_n not_o according_a too_o their_o fault_n that_o they_o have_v commit_v but_o

that_o be_v promise_v we_o though_o it_o be_v hide_v and_o be_v not_o show_v in_o this_o world_n we_o see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v many_o cause_n too_o afflict_v he_o now_o if_o we_o conclude_v

therefore_o let_v we_o not_o go_v to_o it_o at_o adventure_n but_o let_v we_o examine_v well_o their_o life_n and_o when_o we_o know_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o wicked_a person_n and_o a_o despiser_n of_o god_n so_o as_o his_o fault_n be_v notorious_a then_o we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o god_n punish_v he_o and_o why_o too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v teach_v by_o his_o example_n and_o that_o the_o same_o may_v be_v a_o profitable_a lesson_n for_o we_o beside_o that_o when_o we_o perceive_v not_o in_o a_o man_n the_o cause_n why_o god_n shall_v punish_v he_o severe_o if_o any_o

without_o cause_n thou_o have_v spoil_v he_o that_o be_v naked_a here_o we_o see_v that_o our_o sin_n cease_v not_o to_o be_v odious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n although_o man_n condemn_v we_o not_o for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v so_o cruel_a to_o take_v a_o pledge_n of_o some_o poor_a man_n when_o he_o dare_v he_o at_o his_o need_n if_o he_o take_v from_o he_o either_o the_o coverlet_n of_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 with_o we_o and_o that_o he_o be_v our_o judge_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o afraid_a of_o he_o as_o to_o run_v from_o he_o as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a for_o we_o thus_o to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v that_o unless_o we_o have_v taste_v this_o fatherly_a goodness_n of_o god_n and_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v we_o too_o mercy_n a_o man_n shall_v never_o cause_v we_o

blot_v out_o all_o our_o sin_n true_a it_o be_v that_o eliphas_n do_v always_o pass_v measure_n in_o that_o he_o think_v that_o god_n make_v those_o who_o he_o love_v to_o prosper_v all_o alike_o in_o

all_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o love_v they_o therefore_o man_n must_v not_o deceive_v themselves_o by_o imagine_v that_o god_n will_v send_v they_o all_o their_o heart_n desire_v when_o ●e_n

and_o prick_v we_o forward_o too_o kick_v against_o god_n and_o wherefore_o because_o we_o consider_v not_o that_o his_o chastise_v of_o we_o be_v of_o purpose_n too_o bring_v we_o too_o the_o

of_o nature_n too_o return_v unto_o he_o when_o we_o be_v go_v from_o he_o call_v we_o love_o unto_o he_o and_o put_v we_o in_o good_a comfort_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v receive_v of_o he_o and_o

to_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o and_o that_o if_o we_o will_v seek_v atonement_n with_o he_o he_o be_v already_o whole_o dispose_v thereunto_o must_v it_o not_o needs_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v very_o hard-hearted_a and_o
expedient_a for_o we_o according_a also_o as_o when_o he_o come_v near_o unto_o we_o be_v it_o for_o that_o he_o be_v afraid_a or_o for_o that_o he_o seek_v any_o profit_n by_o we_o no_o it_o be_v

the_o sea_n of_o all_o virtue_n that_o bring_v we_o to_o salvation_n therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v right_o subject_a unto_o god_n for_o if_o he_o hold_v not_o his_o majesty_n over_o we_o and_o show_v we_o not_o what_o we_o be_v and_o what_o our_o state_n be_v and_o hold_v we_o not_o under_o his_o foot_n what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o consider_v the_o pride_n and_o malapertness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o all_o god_n then_o in_o not_o show_v we_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o work_n do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v learn_v to_o obey_v he_o again_o if_o we_o see_v not_o why_o

of_o we_o try_v himself_o nay_o contrariwise_o in_o steed_n of_o light_v a_o candle_n to_o search_v our_o own_o want_n and_o sin_n we_o quench_v the_o cresset_n that_o god_n have_v light_v too_o our_o

we_o may_v perceive_v the_o naughtiness_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o but_o we_o see_v how_o man_n labour_v to_o quench_v all_o the_o say_a knowledge_n and_o will_v fain_o suppress_v their_o own_o

and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o they_o endeavour_n to_o quench_v the_o lamp_n or_o candle_n that_o god_n have_v light_v in_o they_o to_o draw_v they_o they_o to_o this_o trial_n see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n shall_v search_v and_o try_v we_o because_o we_o will_v not_o do_v it_o ourselves_o as_o our_o duty_n be_v to_o do_v but_o by_o our_o good_a will_n will_v become_v like_o brute_n beast_n and_o dispatch_v ourselves_o of_o all_o discretion_n and_o reason_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n be_v that_o

for_o our_o profit_n and_o welfare_n and_o although_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v content_v that_o our_o lord_n be_v righteous_a and_o that_o he_o will_v in_o

that_o this_o be_v grievous_a to_o bear_v yet_o god_n do_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n we_o perceive_v it_o not_o as_o yet_o because_o our_o wit_n be_v too_o weak_a howbeit_o our_o lord_n will_v in_o

have_v to_o bear_v away_o here_o now_o when_o job_n have_v say_v so_o he_o add_v this_o protestation_n that_o his_o foot_n bid_v walk_v in_o god_n path_n and_o that_o he_o bid_v not_o leave_v his_o

that_o job_n may_v well_o protest_v that_o he_o have_v walk_v so_o upright_o as_o that_o he_o be_v not_o of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n nor_o of_o the_o number_n of_o loose_a

thy_o commandment_n with_o my_o whole_a heart_n lord_n i_o have_v set_v more_o store_n by_o thy_o law_n than_o by_o gold_n and_o silver_n all_o my_o delight_n have_v be_v in_o they_o i_o have_v not_o

therefore_o enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n oh_o lord_n for_o who_o be_v he_o oh_o lord_n that_o shall_v stand_v up_o if_o thou_o mark_v all_o our_o fault_n we_o see_v then_o that_o david_n do_v willing_o yield_v himself_o guilty_a and_o that_o whereas_o he_o protest_v himself_o too_o have_v follow_v god_n commandment_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o acknowledge_v

will_v never_o sail_v he_o hereafter_o if_o job_n have_v proceed_v after_o that_o manner_n his_o protestation_n have_v be_v good_a and_o holy_a but_o what_o his_o meaning_n here_o be_v to_o go_v to_o law_n with_o god_n and_o to_o uphold_v that_o if_o god_n handle_v he_o after_o the_o ordinary_a rule_n of_o his_o law_n he_o shall_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o use_v such_o rigour_n towards_o he_o job_n

it_o be_v true_a that_o thou_o chastize_v i_o and_o i_o know_v and_o thou_o may_v test_n do_v it_o even_o by_o thy_o law_n ▪_o and_o it_o be_v true_a also_o that_o i_o have_v endeavour_v too_o walk_v before_o thou_o in_o as_o great_a soundness_n as_o be_v possible_a for_o i_o to_o do_v nevertheless_o there_o have_v always_o be_v somewhat_o amiss_o and_o therefore_o thou_o shall_v find_v all_o my_o

the_o mean_a while_o i_o feel_v myself_o cumber_v extreme_o and_o therefore_o i_o must_v conclude_v that_o thou_o do_v it_o upon_o some_o secret_a and_o wonderful_a purpose_n if_o job_n have_v speak_v so_o all_o have_v be_v well_o but_o he_o be_v carry_v away_o by_o the_o pang_n of_o his_o passion_n and_o thereby_o we_o be_v all_o warn_v as_o i_o say_v de_fw-fr afore_o to_o mistrust_v ourselves_o when_o we_o be_v afflict_v for_o we_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v so_o dazzle_v as_o we_o can_v discern_v what_o be_v good_a and_o if_o this_o thing_n befall_v unto_o job_n who_o be_v setheere_n before_o our_o eye_n as_o a_o mirror_n of_o patience_n what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v afflict_v let_v we_o pray_v god_n so_o to_o hold_v we_o in_o awe_n as_o we_o may_v glorify_v he_o and_o that_o if_o any_o toy_n come_v in_o our_o head_n too_o grudge_v against_o he_o they_o may_v be_v beat_v down_o know_v that_o we_o can_v speak_v one_o word_n of_o ourselves_o but_o the_o
regard_v it_o do_v not_o man_n wilful_o harden_v their_o heart_n against_o god_n warning_n and_o may_v it_o not_o well_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n have_v bewitch_v we_o yes_o but_o there_o be_v yet_o more_o for_o beside_o such_o warning_n god_n show_v we_o by_o his_o word_n what_o our_o fault_n be_v and_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v they_o and_o draw_v we_o to_o himself_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o

if_o a_o man_n have_v spend_v the_o night_n secret_o in_o whoredom_n if_o he_o have_v go_v a_o thieve_a if_o he_o have_v beguile_v his_o neighbour_n or_o if_o he_o have_v shut_v the_o door_n to_o he_o

which_o s._n paul_n give_v we_o which_o be_v that_o sith_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n to_o enlighten_v we_o we_o be_v no_o more_o the_o child_n of_o darkness_n but_o of_o light_n such_o as_o have_v

we_o by_o his_o doctrine_n that_o we_o have_v daylight_n in_o the_o night_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sun_n shall_v no_o more_o shine_v upon_o the_o church_n by_o day_n nor_o the_o

man_n lay_v himself_o in_o his_o bed_n or_o shut_v himself_o in_o his_o chamber_n or_o hide_v himself_o so_o close_o as_o no_o man_n may_v know_v what_o he_o say_v or_o what_o he_o do_v and_o yet_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v always_o shine_v upon_o he_o he_o can_v not_o quench_v the_o knowledge_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o and_o out_o of_o doubt_n although_o the_o scornful_a

their_o evil_a do_n shun_v the_o light_n as_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o be_v glad_a when_o night_n come_v let_v we_o use_v the_o light_n that_o be_v give_v we_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o stray_v out_o of_o our_o way_n and_o from_o swerve_v aside_o special_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o and_o reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o the_o grace_n that_o god_n give_v we_o in_o make_v we_o to_o know_v our_o sin_n and_o wretchedness_n by_o mean_n of_o his_o gospel_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o like_o as_o the_o wicked_a do_v hate_v the_o light_n of_o the_o day_n and_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n that_o the_o sun_n be_v pluck_v out_o of_o the_o sky_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v always_o have_v freedom_n to_o do_v evil_a so_o do_v they_o much_o more_o shun_v the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o same_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v so_o ill_o receive_v of_o the_o world_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v it_o be_v a_o wonder_n how_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o stubborn_a against_o god_n special_o see_v he_o send_v his_o own_o son_n to_o be_v our_o redeemer_n and_o offer_v we_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n desire_v we_o with_o a_o great_a gentleness_n and_o friendliness_n as_o can_v be_v how_o can_v it_o be_v will_n many_o say_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o stubborn_a as_o to_o forsake_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v it_o not_o a_o outrageous_a churlishness_n yes_o certain_o be_v it_o but_o behold_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o world_n hate_v the_o gospel_n be_v because_o that_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v who_o so_o ever_o do_v evil_a hate_v the_o light_n now_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o that_o most_o man_n give_v themselves_o to_o all_o evil_a yea_o and_o oven_n they_o that_o be_v convict_v of_o their_o wilfulness_n cease_v not_o too_o harden_v themselves_o but_o will_v fain_o shut_v their_o eye_n to_o spite_n god_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o be_v it_o any_o wonder_n that_o man_n be_v loath_a to_o taste_v of_o the_o gospel_n or_o to_o bite_v of_o it_o but_o rather_o play_v the_o mad_a bedlam_n aught_v it_o to_o be_v think_v strange_a no_o for_o we_o see_v that_o thief_n murderer_n whoremonger_n and_o all_o other_o evil_a doer_n can_v well_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o have_v the_o sun_n darken_v and_o that_o it_o shall_v no_o more_o shine_v in_o the_o world_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v yet_o far_o great_a for_o that_o serve_v not_o to_o gyude_v our_o eye_n only_o and_o to_o show_v we_o the_o way_n outward_o but_o it_o enter_v even_o into_o our_o

doctrine_n or_o to_o frame_v themselves_o by_o any_o mean_n unto_o it_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o on_o our_o side_n deal_v clean_o contrariwise_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o therefore_o as_o touch_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n when_o god_n make_v his_o daisunne_n to_o shine_v let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v give_v himself_o to_o

of_o god_n word_n never_o go_v out_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o therefore_o both_o day_n and_o night_n let_v we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o light_n and_o let_v we_o awake_v and_o be_v

god_n will_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v tear_v in_o piece_n yea_o though_o it_o be_v wrongful_o for_o that_o be_v not_o the_o matter_n that_o must_v grieve_v we_o but_o rather_o we_o

that_o ought_v to_o uphold_v we_o the_o better_a for_o we_o must_v not_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o say_v what_o now_o what_o cause_n can_v man_n find_v to_o scorn_v i_o after_o this_o sort_n

nevertheless_o we_o take_v courage_n to_o walk_v still_o as_o before_o god_n and_o if_o it_o please_v he_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v wrongful_o slander_v we_o arm_v ourselves_o against_o such_o

they_o turn_v and_o spit_v in_o our_o face_n and_o burden_v we_o with_o false_a slander_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o thereby_o god_n call_v we_o too_o he_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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 scourge●_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
have_v good_a record_n that_o we_o be_v not_o faulty_a before_o god_n and_o can_v also_o show_v the_o same_o in_o deed_n then_o although_o man_n make_v book_n against_o we_o that_o it_o to_o say_v although_o they_o deface_v we_o with_o so_o many_o blame_n and_o slander_n as_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v huge_a mountain_n yet_o shall_v the_o same_o be_v no_o heavy_a burden_n to_o we_o because_o

as_o we_o see_v there_o be_v many_o that_o take_v liberty_n to_o do_v evil_a and_o to_o despise_v god_n because_o the_o world_n soothe_v they_o for_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o so_o many_o

that_o if_o we_o do_v amiss_o before_o god_n the_o creature_n shall_v be_v against_o we_o and_o bear_v witness_n against_o we_o as_o how_o if_o we_o have_v oppress_v the_o poor_a labourer_n that_o till_o the_o earth_n to_o give_v we_o food_n if_o we_o have_v use_v extortion_n against_o they_o or_o if_o we_o have_v pluck_v away_o their_o good_n not_o only_o they_o shall_v bear_v witness_n

their_o blood_n now_o it_o be_v a_o great_a cruelty_n in_o we_o when_o we_o think_v not_o how_o the_o earth_n on_o her_o behalf_n have_v open_v her_o bowel_n according_a to_o the_o order_n that_o god_n have_v fetch_v and_o yield_v her_o fruit_n when_o she_o be_v till_v the_o earth_n they_o have_v do_v her_o duty_n &_o wrought_v with_o her_o labourer_n as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o mutual_a

scripture_n use_v such_o speech_n we_o see_v the_o hardness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n we_o think_v ourselves_o quite_o discharge_v if_o we_o may_v find_v some_o pretty_a start_a hole_n and_o although_o we_o be_v convict_v of_o they_o before_o god_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o so_o afraid_a as_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o or_o to_o feel_v how_o dreadful_a the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v spur_v not_o as_o ass_n but_o as_o folk_n that_o be_v utter_o harden_v insomuch_o that_o when_o god_n strike_v upon_o we_o with_o main_n stroke_z as_o upon_o stone_n he_o can_v no_o more_o soften_v we_o or_o make_v we_o to_o yield_v than_o stithy_n or_o anuilde_v except_o it_o be_v by_o force_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o so_o as_o often_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v after_o that_o manner_n namely_o that_o the_o earth_n cry_v out_o and_o that_o her_o furrow_n ask_v vengeance_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n reprove_v our_o stubborness_n and_o show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v so_o blind_v in_o our_o sin_n as_o we_o can_v come_v to_o knowledge_n except_o he_o draw_v we_o to_o it_o by_o some_o violent_a mean_n mark_v well_o that_o point_n so_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o continue_v hard-hearted_a when_o we_o see_v our_o lord_n use_v such_o vehemency_n against_o we_o to_o wake_v we_o withal_o but_o at_o leastwise_o let_v we_o then_o enter_v into_o the_o examination_n of_o our_o fault_n and_o be_v cast_v
we_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o will_v make_v ourselves_o more_o righteous_a than_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o will_v not_o say_v it_o neither_o will_v we_o think_v it_o but_o the_o

understand_v by_o a_o example_n behold_v job_n know_v god_n to_o be_v righteous_a yea_o and_o he_o unfeigned_o acknowledge_v he_o so_o to_o be_v and_o as_o for_o his_o own_o part_n he_o acknowledge_v himself_o a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o that_o there_o be_v many_o fault_n too_o be_v find_v in_o he_o yea_o and_o that_o if_o he_o shall_v quarrel_v against_o god_n he_o shall_v be_v vanquish_v a_o thousand_o time_n before_o he_o can_v answer_v to_o any_o one_o point_n job_n then_o mean_v not_o direct_o to_o justify_v himself_o above_o god_n no_o nor_o to_o make_v himself_o equal_a with_o he_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n what_o say_v he_o i_o marvel_n why_o god_n afflict_v i_o thus_o what_o fault_n be_v there_o in_o i_o and_o again_o i_o be_o a_o poor_a creature_n full_a of_o

many_o murmur_n and_o grudge_n no_o doubt_n but_o he_o justify_v himself_o above_o god_n and_o why_o for_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o that_o god_n be_v unreasonable_a in_o afflict_v he_o so_o and_o because_o he_o know_v not_o why_o it_o be_v do_v he_o desire_v god_n to_o come_v thither_o as_o his_o adversary_n party_n afterward_o again_o he_o be_v angry_a that_o god_n consume_v he_o not_o out_o

god_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o i_o tell_v you_o even_o now_o namely_o that_o we_o shall_v oftentimes_o blaspheme_v god_n in_o our_o passion_n ere_o we_o think_v of_o it_o which_o thing_n ought_v too_o cause_v we_o to_o take_v the_o more_o heed_n that_o we_o give_v not_o our_o passion_n the_o bridle_n lest_o we_o fall_v to_o such_o wretchedness_n as_o to_o blaspheme_v god_n ere_o we_o be_v

that_o although_o they_o say_v it_o not_o but_o protest_v a_o hundred_o time_n that_o they_o never_o mean_v to_o think_v it_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o and_o behold_v a_o

what_o a_o presumptuousness_n be_v that_o what_o reason_n be_v in_o it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o glorify_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v and_o although_o his_o hand_n be_v

unrighteousness_n or_o of_o punish_v he_o without_o cause_n howbeit_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o he_o be_v so_o carry_v away_o with_o his_o affection_n as_o there_o escape_v many_o disorder_a word_n by_o fit_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v excuse_v and_o i_o have_v note_v all_o this_o heretofore_o as_o opportunity_n require_v &_o as_o they_o come_v in_o place_n for_o i_o have_v

that_o although_o we_o be_v not_o so_o carry_v away_o as_o to_o purpose_n too_o blaspheme_v god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o assoon_o as_o we_o have_v never_o so_o little_a liberty_n immediate_o we_o

ever_o he_o think_v it_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o job_n have_v be_v ask_v whether_o god_n seek_v occasion_n against_o he_o to_o handle_v he_o so_o cruel_o he_o will_v have_v answer_v no_o he_o

if_o he_o have_v seek_v vain_a shift_n how_o come_v that_o to_o pass_v and_o why_o because_o job_n be_v toss_v too_o and_o fro_o in_o his_o sorrow_n and_o now_o and_o then_o have_v not_o so_o good_a stay_n of_o himself_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v
to_o keep_v they_o from_o stumble_v into_o a_o deadly_a fall_n but_o that_o god_n do_v hold_v they_o back_o by_o affliction_n and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o w●e_n fall_v not_o into_o the_o grave_n be_v that_o god_n afflict_v we_o but_o therewithal_o eliu_n show_v we_o how_o harsh_a this_o medicine_n be_v in_o that_o he_o say_v that_o it_o consume_v our_o flesh_n so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o more_o the_o shape_n of_o man_n but_o be_v like_a unto_o dead_a man_n that_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o our_o bone_n do_v clatter_n without_o and_o we_o can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o take_v breathe_v but_o be_v in_o continual_a torment_fw-mi so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o release_n but_o god_n persecute_v we_o with_o such_o extremity_n as_o we_o can_v no_o more_o thus_o he_o show_v that_o god_n can_v not_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n win_v that_o thing_n at_o man_n hand_n which_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o they_o shall_v know_v themselves_o wretched_a and_o full_a of_o infirmity_n and_o there_o upon_o stoup_n unto_o he_o but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v overcome_v with_o strong_a hand_n and_o continual_a

learn_v to_o bear_v our_o affliction_n patient_o sith_o we_o see_v that_o they_o serve_v we_o for_o medicine_n and_o salve_n be_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n for_o we_o to_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o

that_o sort_n in_o the_o air_n and_o think_v we_o have_v any_o strength_n of_o ourselves_o and_o build_v thereupon_o after_o our_o own_o fancy_n i_o say_v so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v possess_v with_o

seem_v strange_a too_o fleshe_o reason_n for_o our_o fleshe_o reason_n will_v say_v can_v god_n provide_v no_o better_o mean_v for_o our_o welfare_n than_o by_o torment_v we_o after_o that_o sort_n behove_v it_o he_o to_o send_v we_o to_o death_n that_o he_o may_v call_v we_o unto_o life_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o incredible_a manner_n of_o proceed_v if_o a_o man_n debate_v it_o according_a too_o

know_v that_o all_o disease_n be_v the_o messenger_n of_o death_n and_o that_o all_o the_o sorrow_n which_o we_o conceive_v be_v drown_n of_o we_o but_o our_o lord_n send_v we_o sorrow_n sickness_n

these_o word_n concern_v not_o the_o small_a affliction_n where_o with_o we_o be_v accustom_v but_o they_o concern_v god_n send_v of_o we_o to_o so_o great_a extremity_n as_o there_o remain_v no_o

not_o plead_v against_o he_o for_o we_o shall_v always_o have_v the_o worse_a end_n of_o the_o staff_n and_o out_o of_o doubt_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o it_o be_v his_o ordinary_a manner_n to_o kill_v before_o he_o quicken_v and_o to_o bring_v to_o the_o grave_n before_o he_o raise_v to_o life_n then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n intend_v here_o to_o exercise_v our_o obedience_n by_o try_v we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a so_o as_o we_o can_v endure_v no_o more_o no_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o draw_v our_o breath_n but_o seem_v to_o be_v

we_o withal_o behold_v it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n in_o bring_v man_n to_o their_o grave_n intend_v to_o draw_v they_o out_o again_o and_o that_o in_o consume_v their_o flesh_n he_o mind_v to_o

of_o this_o comfort_n and_o let_v it_o suffice_v we_o to_o assuage_v all_o our_o sorrow_n let_v we_o not_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n although_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o be_v utter_o forlorn_a let_v we_o

dreadful_a his_o wrath_n be_v and_o this_o also_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n for_o we_o for_o which_o of_o we_o think_v of_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n wrath_n as_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n who_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o wrath_n and_o undoubted_o although_o god_n wrath_n be_v a_o fire_n that_o consume_v all_o thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o think_v not_o upon_o it_o but_o overpass_v it_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o in_o sermon_n and_o we_o read_v goodly_a text_n of_o it_o but_o we_o be_v not_o touch_v

to_o mark_v well_o the_o counsel_n that_o be_v give_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n like_v as_o in_o this_o text_n it_o be_v say_v than_z god_n break_v man_n bone_n that_o be_v to_o say_v use_v so_o

and_o a_o man_n be_v so_o continual_o torment_v as_o he_o be_v like_o a_o dead_a man_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o all_o this_o be_v set_v afore_o we_o but_o it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n to_o waken_v we_o and_o that_o when_o god_n utter_v his_o judgement_n against_o we_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v our_o sin_n we_o shall_v the_o better_o be_v think_v we_o that_o those_o torment_n be_v more_o terrible_a than_o can_v be_v express_v according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v many_o comparison_n in_o that_o behalf_n why_o do_v it_o liken_v god_n to_o a_o lion_n that_o break_v and_o broze_v thing_n with_o his_o tooth_n and_o pluck_v they_o in_o piece_n with_o his_o paw_n it_o be_v not_o to_o attribute_v such_o a_o cruelty_n unto_o god_n as_o be_v not_o convenient_a for_o he_o but_o
the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v afflict_v too_o how_o be_v it_o it_o do_v but_o make_v they_o hard-hearted_a and_o chafe_v against_o god_n and_o so_o little_a fare_n they_o the_o better_a by_o their_o affliction_n that_o it_o do_v the_o more_o bewray_v thire_z wickedness_n &_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o full_a measure_n of_o it_o but_o when_o god_n afflict_v his_o choose_a he_o overmaster_v &_o mortify_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o tremble_v before_o his_o majesty_n &_o become_v utter_o dismay_v &_o like_a man_n half_o dead_a insomuch_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n of_o life_n in_o they_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o and_o to_o the_o worldward_n and_o final_o there_o remain_v nothing_o for_o they_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v have_v pity_n of_o they_o and_o eliu_n set_v out_o the_o mean_a whereby_o god_n make_v his_o chastizement_n available_a towards_o the_o faithful_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n by_o comfort_v they_o through_o his_o goodness_n and_o by_o tell_v they_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v their_o sin_n for_o although_o affliction_n be_v for_o our_o profit_n and_o serve_v we_o for_o medicine_n and_o salve_n as_o be_v show_v yesterday_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o appear_v not_o so_o but_o by_o the_o end_n now_o the_o end_n be_v show_v we_o here_o which_o be_v that_o god_n reach_v we_o his_o hand_n assure_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a too_o we_o how_o so_o ever_o the_o world_n go_v notwithstanding_o that_o he_o have_v handle_v we_o rough_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o life_n of_o our_o soul_n consist_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o give_v we_o assurance_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v esteem_v this_o benefit_n as_o it_o deserve_v it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o warrant_a of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v as_o a_o odd_a man_n among_o a_o thousand_o so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v at_o adventure_n but_o be_v a_o treasure_n which_o god_n reserve_v to_o those_o who_o he_o think_v good_a beside_o this_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o god_n in_o promise_a man_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n give_v charge_n and_o commission_n too_o the_o minister_n of_o his_o word_n to_o draw_v they_o from_o death_n according_a as_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v commit_v to_o those_o which_o preach_v the_o gospel_n too_o what_o end_n to_o forgive_v sin_n not_o of_o their_o own_o authority_n but_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n may_v be_v the_o better_o assure_v of_o their_o salvation_n and_o not_o doubt_v but_o god_n receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n therefore_o the_o minister_n tell_v they_o in_o his_o name_n that_o they_o be_v quit_v before_o his_o judgement_n seat_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n of_o a_o man_n when_o he_o send_v he_o a_o good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n and_o give_v his_o appoint_a minister_n the_o say_a charge_n and_o office_n of_o rescue_v and_o deliver_v the_o wretched_a creature_n that_o be_v in_o way_n of_o damnation_n how_o be_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v the_o better_a understand_v here_o be_v three_o point_n to_o be_v mark_v the_o one_o be_v that_o eliu_n show_v we_o the_o cause_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o perish_v that_o be_v one_o point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o office_n of_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o draw_v wretched_a soul_n out_o of_o death_n and_o to_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n and_o the_o three_o be_v that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o do_v but_o by_o express_a commission_n give_v of_o god_n according_a also_o as_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o a_o mortal_a man_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o so_o high_a a_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o our_o ability_n then_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n we_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bring_v we_o here_o to_o the_o wellspring_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o we_o obtain_v of_o god_n when_o he_o forgive_v we_o oursinne_n why_o be_v it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v able_a too_o be_v beforehand_o with_o he_o not_o for_o that_o we_o bring_v any_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o procure_v his_o favour_n towards_o we_o but_o because_o he_o look_v upon_o we_o with_o mercy_n to_o be_v short_a the_o holy_a ghost_n father_v the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n upon_o the_o only_a free_a goodness_n of_o god_n for_o we_o be_v so_o wretched_a as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o damnation_n in_o we_o behold_v it_o please_v god_n to_o succour_v we_o and_o he_o do_v it_o not_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o find_v in_o we_o save_v only_o infinite_a misery_n but_o of_o his_o own_o goodness_n which_o move_v he_o thereunto_o this_o then_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o obtain_v forgiveness_n at_o god_n hand_n we_o may_v not_o imagine_v to_o appease_v he_o with_o our_o own_o merit_n nor_o to_o be_v particauser_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o look_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n of_o we_o he_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o so_o eliu_n mean_v to_o advertise_v we_o that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v that_o goodness_n but_o that_o although_o he_o love_v we_o and_o be_v mind_v to_o provide_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o yet_o do_v he_o not_o always_o give_v we_o that_o feel_n but_o hide_v it_o utter_o from_o we_o as_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o turn_v his_o back_n to_o we_o or_o else_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v not_o too_o look_v upon_o we_o or_o else_o that_o his_o countenance_n be_v lour_a towards_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v

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

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

that_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o sometime_o under_o the_o colour_n that_o god_n be_v almighty_a man_n will_v accuse_v he_o of_o tyranny_n as_o though_o he_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o our_o

do_v he_o bear_v with_o a_o wicked_a man_n when_o he_o be_v see_v too_o be_v altogether_o out_o of_o order_n then_o may_v we_o well_o trouble_v our_o head_n to_o seek_v why_o god_n deal_v after_o

to_o say_v it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n see_v any_o good_a disposition_n in_o man_n shall_v help_v he_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o same_o and_o what_o have_v cause_v such_o dotage_n to_o

leave_v the_o residue_n in_o the_o damnation_n wherein_o they_o be_v already_o why_o do_v he_o so_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o dispute_v of_o it_o let_v we_o hold_v this_o too_o humble_a ourselves_o withal_o and_o let_v we_o not_o forge_v mean_n in_o our_o own_o head_n which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v not_o of_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n who_o give_v such_o motion_n unto_o a_o man_n to_o mislike_v of_o his_o sin_n but_o only_a god_n who_o have_v already_o touch_v he_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n for_o natural_o we_o be_v all_o evil_a and_o when_o we_o have_v commit_v it_o we_o be_v still_o more_o and_o more_o dispose_v unto_o it_o and_o hypocrisy_n blind_v we_o by_o flatter_v we_o in_o the_o same_o therefore_o when_o a_o sinner_n mislike_v of_o his_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o god_n have_v already_o touch_v he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o cain_n and_o judas_n be_v great_o grieve_v at_o the_o feel_n of_o their_o offence_n but_o that_o be_v not_o for_o the_o mislike_v of_o they_o nay_o rather_o they_o gnash_v their_o tooth_n against_o god_n and_o harden_a themselves_o in_o their_o evil_n therefore_o when_o a_o sinner_n feel_v remorse_n in_o himself_o and_o be_v touch_v to_o humble_v himself_o before_o god_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o than_o if_o god_n give_v we_o a_o pliable_a affection_n to_o mislike_v of_o ourselves_o and_o to_o draw_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o he_o have_v show_v we_o mercy_n and_o sure_o be_v it_o not_o a_o good_a warrant_n of_o his_o mercy_n shall_v we_o then_o say_v that_o a_o man_n have_v deserve_v to_o have_v sin_n forgive_v he_o of_o god_n because_o he_o be_v thereunto_o dispose_v we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o papist_n have_v in_o this_o behalf_n falsify_v and_o disguise_v god_n doctrine_n father_v that_o thing_n upon_o man_n which_o belong_v not_o unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o better_a ought_v we_o to_o mark_n and_o remember_v this_o say_n that_o when_o man_n have_v cast_v themselves_o into_o destruction_n and_o be_v hold_v in_o thraldom_n of_o sin_n so_o as_o satan_n possess_v they_o none_o but_o god_n have_v authority_n to_o say_v i_o forgive_v and_o who_o forgive_v he_o we_o must_v not_o tie_v his_o grace_n neither_o to_o one_o thing_n nor_o other_o but_o let_v he_o use_v his_o own_o mind_n to_o dispose_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o his_o free_a goodness_n therefore_o when_o he_o forgive_v one_o man_n he_o may_v well_o leave_v another_o in_o damnation_n according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o moses_n and_o allege_v by_o saint_n paul_n as_o a_o record_n of_o great_a importance_n above_o other_o i_o will_v forgive_v who_o i_o will_v forgive_v and_o i_o will_v show_v mercy_n to_o who_o i_o will_v show_v mercy_n in_o say_v so_o god_n show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v not_o inquire_v why_o he_o do_v it_o for_o he_o cut_v away_o all_o such_o question_n who_o then_o do_v god_n pardon_v even_o who_o it_o please_v he_o it_o be_v not_o any_o mortal_a man_n that_o order_v that_o matter_n it_o be_v the_o live_a god_n who_o declare_v that_o when_o he_o show_v mercy_n we_o must_v not_o ask_v why_o he_o do_v it_o nor_o to_o who_o nor_o whether_o one_o man_n be_v better_o dispose_v than_o another_o or_o whether_o therhath_fw-mi be_v any_o desert_n good_a motion_n or_o other_o mean_a aforehand_o no._n for_o god_n will_v have_v man_n to_o content_v themselves_o with_o his_o do_n therefore_o whereas_o he_o show_v mercy_n unto_o some_o and_o not_o unto_o all_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o magnify_v his_o goodness_n and_o if_o he_o show_v any_o appearance_n of_o his_o justice_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v unto_o we_o and_o undoubted_o this_o

what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o strain_v now_o he_o add_v that_o he_o will_v no_o more_o destroy_v when_o he_o have_v so_o pardon_v and_o herein_o we_o have_v one_o good_a lesson_n more_o which_o be_v that_o when_o god_n spare_v sinner_n he_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o they_o and_o full_o at_o one_o with_o they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o sometime_o god_n punish_v not_o the_o wicked_a and_o although_o their_o sin_n be_v tell_v they_o and_o bring_v to_o their_o remembrance_n it_o will_v seem_v that_o they_o be_v escape_v his_o hand_n for_o a_o time_n but_o than_o be_v not_o this_o say_n perform_v that_o god_n will_v not_o destroy_v and_o why_o forthere_o he_o forgive_v not_o but_o nourish_v the_o wicked_a
as_o man_n fat_a ox_n and_o swine_n to_o the_o end_n to_o kill_v they_o we_o see_v that_o when_o a_o ox_n have_v be_v lean_a all_o his_o life_n long_o if_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o kill_v he_o he_o will_v bestow_v the_o more_o cost_n upon_o he_o and_o likewise_o will_v he_o do_v with_o a_o swine_n to_o make_v he_o well_o lard_v now_o the_o prophet_n use_v this_o similitude_n too_o show_v we_o that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o reprobate_n and_o despiser_n of_o god_n be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o punish_v out_o of_o hand_n according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v both_o in_o leremie_n and_o ezechiell_n that_o such_o as_o be_v reserve_v make_v never_o the_o better_a market_n for_o their_o long_a tarriance_n but_o as_o they_o be_v worse_o before_o god_n and_o have_v pyle_v up_o a_o great_a heap_n of_o cursedness_n upon_o their_o head_n so_o also_o must_v god_n pour_v out_o the_o great_a rigour_n upon_o they_o and_o so_o although_o our_o lord_n punish_v they_o not_o the_o first_o day_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o to_o hold_v they_o there_o still_o under_o his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n and_o therefore_o this_o text_n belong_v not_o unto_o they_o but_o when_o our_o lord_n do_v set_v man_n quite_o and_o clear_v and_o will_v not_o punish_v they_o any_o more_o why_o be_v that_o it_o be_v because_o he_o have_v forgive_v their_o sin_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o this_o lesson_n be_v very_o profitable_a and_o why_o for_o first_o of_o all_o we_o be_v so_o fleshly_a as_o we_o pass_v for_o no_o more_o sobeit_fw-mi that_o god_n make_v we_o not_o to_o feel_v his_o

although_o god_n be_v offend_v with_o we_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o we_o perceive_v it_o not_o because_o of_o our_o dullness_n and_o therefore_o we_o heap_v sin_n upon_o sin_n and_o

he_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o go_v to_o the_o root_n let_v we_o not_o desire_n god_n only_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o our_o sickness_n want_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o let_v we_o special_o pray_v he_o too_o be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o when_o we_o have_v once_o forget_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o all_o inconvenience_n and_o yet_o further_o for_o the_o better_a conceive_n of_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o we_o be_v in_o prosperity_n yet_o if_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n be_v our_o enemy_n the_o mischief_n shall_v continue_v still_o with_o we_o and_o his_o benefit_n shall_v turn_v to_o our_o bane_n then_o if_o we_o use_v god_n gift_n unto_o his_o displeasure_n all_o the_o benefit_n that_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o must_v turn_v too_o our_o great_a condemnation_n like_v as_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n when_o we_o be_v reconcylend_v unto_o god_n and_o he_o have_v pardon_v our_o offence_n although_o he_o chastise_v we_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v a_o medicine_n too_o we_o and_o all_o our_o affliction_n shall_v be_v bless_v before_o he_o in_o so_o much_o that_o they_o shall_v turn_v to_o our_o

under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v pardon_v our_o sin_n and_o hereupon_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o misery_n and_o adversity_n only_o but_o special_o of_o god_n wrath_n which_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o provoke_v and_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v amiss_o let_v we_o not_o begin_v at_o the_o outward_a affliction_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o our_o return_v unto_o god_n shall_v be_v to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v no_o more_o afflict_v we_o but_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o be_v so_o gracious_a as_o too_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n there_o may_v be_v nothing_o in_o we_o that_o may_v kindle_v he_o against_o we_o or_o displease_v he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o chastisement_n and_o correction_n which_o god_n send_v we_o be_v as_o stroke_n of_o a_o spur_n too_o prick_v we_o forward_o and_o when_o he_o see_v we_o dull_a he_o drive_v we_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o repentance_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v at_o this_o point_n to_o say_v well_o i_o be_o content_a so_o god_n withdraw_v his_o hand_n from_o i_o no_o we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o for_o we_o shall_v have_v gain_v very_o little_a if_o we_o get_v nothing_o but_o that_o what_o then_o let_v we_o go_v unto_o our_o god_n and_o pray_v he_o to_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o and_o to_o do_v so_o much_o for_o we_o that_o when_o we_o have_v be_v gentle_o chastise_v we_o may_v know_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o i_o pray_v you_o mark_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n double_v his_o stripe_n and_o strike_v much_o more_o rough_o upon_o we_o why_o so_o if_o a_o man_n be_v chastise_v he_o feel_v that_o god_n visit_v he_o and_o perceive_v all_o thing_n to_o go_v better_o with_o he_o so_o then_o a_o man_n humble_v himself_o when_o he_o have_v offend_v god_n and_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v and_o that_o god_n shall_v take_v away_o his_o adversity_n at_o the_o first_o brunt_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n the_o poor_a soul_n have_v no_o wit_n to_o enter_v into_o himself_o and_o to_o search_v his_o own_o fault_n and_o to_o attain_v to_o so_o much_o reason_n as_o to_o say_v alas_o i_o must_v seek_v to_o recover_v the_o favour_n of_o my_o god_n he_o think_v it_o enough_o if_o he_o be_v no_o more_o press_v like_o a_o dog_n that_o do_v but_o shake_v his_o ear_n when_o he_o have_v escape_v with_o a_o blow_n of_o a_o cudgel_n such_o a_o one_o go_v not_o so_o far_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v he_o rest_v at_o the_o outward_a part_n and_o therefore_o god_n follow_v with_o strike_v he_o still_o so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o light_o man_n dispatch_v themselves_o when_o god_n chastize_v they_o too_o make_v they_o come_v to_o repentance_n for_o they_o may_v well_o have_v some_o conceit_n of_o it_o but_o the_o same_o pass_v away_o out_o of_o hand_n now_o sith_o that_o god_n see_v that_o although_o a_o man_n perceive_v not_o his_o own_o harm_n yet_o the_o filthiness_n do_v settle_v still_o within_o he_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o press_v he_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v know_v that_o the_o disease_n will_v increase_v if_o he_o purge_v it_o not_o to_o the_o bottom_n then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o do_v but_o grow_v worse_o and_o worse_o until_o that_o god_n have_v show_v we_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o only_o desire_v he_o to_o give_v we_o health_n soundness_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o our_o flesh_n desire_v but_o also_o to_o blot_n our_o sin_n and_o to_o govern_v we_o so_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o we_o too_o provoke_v his_o displeasure_n against_o we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o david_n and_o the_o other_o holy_a prophet_n when_o they_o feel_v themselves_o beat_v and_o torment_v at_o god_n hand_n do_v not_o say_v only_o lord_n deliver_v i_o from_o this_o affliction_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o desire_v that_o too_o but_o first_o of_o all_o they_o desire_a god_n to_o forgive_v they_o their_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v no_o more_o angry_a with_o they_o and_o why_o speak_v they_o so_o for_o they_o see_v well_o from_o whence_o affliction_n come_v how_o that_o they_o be_v the_o
it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o sixteen_o psalm_n lord_n my_o good_n can_v come_v at_o thou_o how_o then_o but_o i_o honour_v thy_o saint_n that_o be_v on_o earth_n forasmuch_o as_o god_n can_v receive_v no_o benefit_n by_o we_o he_o commend_v our_o neighbour_n unto_o we_o and_o when_o we_o do_v good_a to_o such_o as_o be_v in_o necessity_n live_v friendly_a and_o upright_o among_o man_n and_o indevering_a to_o employ_v ourselves_o faithful_o where_o we_o be_v able_a to_o help_v and_o succour_v god_n accept_v such_o thing_n as_o sacrifice_n so_o then_o let_v we_o remember_v this_o doctrine_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o can_v bring_v any_o thing_n unto_o god_n for_o it_o serve_v to_o abate_v all_o pride_n in_o we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o god_n be_v any_o thing_n behold_v to_o we_o nor_o be_v lead_v unto_o foolish_a superstition_n to_o gad_n up_o and_o down_o and_o to_o do_v many_o thing_n of_o no_o value_n as_o though_o god_n take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o and_o why_o for_o we_o can_v bring_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o he_o but_o we_o must_v also_o apply_v this_o doctrine_n to_o the_o present_a intent_n of_o eliu_n which_o be_v that_o god_n be_v not_o like_o mortal_a man_n which_o be_v move_v and_o touch_v and_o why_o because_o they_o have_v need_v one_o of_o another_o help_n and_o can_v set_v light_n by_o other_o man_n force_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o the_o cause_n be_v that_o we_o be_v move_v and_o carry_v to_o and_o fro_o but_o there_o must_v no_o such_o dotage_n enter_v into_o our_o head_n concern_v god_n for_o he_o behave_v not_o himself_o after_o our_o manner_n neither_o can_z we_o do_v he_o any_o good_a contrariwise_o also_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o we_o sin_n we_o can_v hurt_v he_o by_o it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o we_o off_o end_n god_n we_o do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v impeach_v his_o righteousness_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o be_v very_o ill_o deal_v withal_o therefore_o when_o we_o sin_n we_o be_v blamewoorthy_a no_o less_o than_o if_o we_o have_v impeach_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n we_o know_v what_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o righteousness_n which_o he_o command_v we_o &_o when_o we_o go_v contrary_a to_o that_o it_o be_v asmuch_o as_n if_o we_o will_v bar_v he_o from_o reign_v pluck_v he_o out_o of_o his_o seat_n and_o as_o it_o be_v trample_v he_o under_o our_o foot_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v man_n guilty_a but_o yet_o can_v god_n be_v either_o increase_v or_o diminish_v in_o himself_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o by_o our_o sin_v we_o hurt_v not_o god_n nevertheless_o as_o touch_v they_o that_o blaspheme_v god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o they_o spew_v out_o their_o venom_n thereby_o they_o deface_v his_o glory_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o name_n be_v evil_o speak_v of_o &_o his_o glory_n diminish_v when_o we_o acknowledge_v he_o not_o to_o be_v good_a righteous_a and_o wise_a by_o confess_v it_o before_o man_n and_o so_o be_v his_o reign_v diminish_v howbeit_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o and_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n what_o do_v we_o by_o sin_v when_o we_o have_v do_v never_o somuch_o we_o can_v do_v he_o any_o annoyance_n let_v the_o best_a archer_n in_o the_o world_n shoot_v up_o and_o see_v if_o he_o shall_v hit_v the_o sky_n when_o we_o have_v practise_v all_o that_o be_v possible_a can_v we_o come_v at_o god_n can_v we_o by_o any_o mean_n touch_v he_o no_o sure_o but_o which_o more_o be_v all_o that_o we_o cast_v upward_o must_v fall_v down_o upon_o our_o own_o head_n if_o i_o shoot_v at_o a_o man_n and_o hit_v he_o i_o wound_v he_o but_o i_o can_v hit_v god_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o we_o may_v well_o run_v cast_v of_o stone_n and_o we_o may_v well_o shoot_v both_o with_o bow_n and_o gun_n but_o yet_o shall_v god_n be_v always_o far_o enough_o from_o the_o dint_n of_o our_o stroke_n true_a it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o we_o may_v well_o bark_v but_o we_o can_v never_o bite_v when_o man_n cast_v up_o their_o blow_n where_o light_n they_o shall_v they_o pass_v above_o the_o sky_n no._n but_o they_o shall_v fall_v back_o upon_o their_o own_o head_n and_o so_o man_n can_v advance_v themselves_o against_o god_n but_o too_o their_o own_o confuzion_n thus_o you_o see_v a_o text_n here_o well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v wherein_o eliu_n show_v that_o if_o we_o do_v amiss_o we_o can_v do_v god_n no_o hurt_n at_o all_o by_o it_o and_o thereupon_o we_o have_v a_o double_a instruction_n to_o

some_o ignorant_a person_n here_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o declare_v it_o more_o full_o you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n may_v reject_v we_o without_o make_v account_v of_o any_o of_o we_o and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v let_v all_o the_o world_n strain_v itself_o as_o much_o as_o it_o can_v and_o yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o can_v profit_v our_o

be_v it_o not_o a_o singular_a comfort_n that_o he_o give_v when_o he_o say_v i_o accept_v your_o do_n and_o although_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v esteem_v at_o my_o hand_n yet_o i_o take_v

all_o the_o point_n of_o our_o work_n as_o it_o be_v into_o article_n in_o his_o book_n of_o account_v for_o that_o they_o be_v acceptable_a to_o he_o through_o his_o own_o goodness_n and_o in_o

therein_o he_o show_v his_o justice_n for_o in_o this_o case_n there_o be_v no_o go_v too_o law_n with_o he_o as_o if_o he_o have_v some_o private_a quarrel_n to_o we_o but_o he_o punish_v we_o as_o a_o just_a judge_n according_a as_o his_o office_n &_o nature_n do_v afford_v then_o see_v that_o our_o god_n proceed_v after_o that_o manner_n what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v but_o to_o consider_v his_o fatherly_a love_n when_o he_o chastyze_v we_o for_o by_o that_o mean_a he_o draw_v we_o back_o from_o the_o way_n of_o damnation_n wherein_o we_o be_v therefore_o when_o we_o feel_v his_o hand_n how_o rough_a soever_o it_o be_v let_v we_o always_o consider_v that_o he_o show_v himself_o righteous_a what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o but_o only_o to_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o to_o
because_o we_o have_v no_o settledness_n but_o be_v toss_v with_o unquietness_n yea_o even_o with_o boil_a unquietness_n so_o as_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o make_v haste_n according_a to_o our_o

for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o think_v but_o upon_o ourselves_o it_o cause_v we_o to_o be_v out_o of_o patience_n and_o there_o be_v no_o obedience_n at_o all_o to_o be_v find_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o put_v this_o doctrine_n in_o ure_n so_o then_o when_o we_o see_v all_o thing_n in_o hurly-burly_n so_o as_o god_n seem_v to_o have_v shut_v his_o eye_n and_o to_o have_v turn_v his_o back_n upon_o we_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v because_o of_o our_o sin_n yet_o nevertheless_o let_v the_o same_o confirm_v our_o faith_n and_o let_v we_o be_v quiet_a assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v god_n office_n too_o enjoin_v we_o silence_n until_o convenient_a time_n be_v come_v yea_o and_o until_o he_o know_v it_o too_o be_v convenient_a for_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o bind_v he_o to_o the_o stake_n and_o to_o say_v this_o thing_n must_v be_v do_v after_o this_o manner_n and_o that_o thing_n after_o that_o but_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o repose_v ourselves_o in_o god_n and_o then_o shall_v all_o pride_n be_v beat_v down_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v think_v all_o god_n do_n too_o be_v good_a rightful_a and_o just_a although_o they_o seem_v strange_a to_o we_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n now_o eliu_n add_v that_o god_n present_v visit_v or_o punish_v be_v not_o in_o his_o anger_n and_o that_o he_o know_v not_o in_o multitude_n great_o true_o this_o text_n be_v somewhat_o hard_a but_o the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o it_o in_o

say_v it_o be_v none_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v in_o this_o world_n and_o why_o for_o he_o will_v not_o examine_v thing_n to_o the_o uttermost_a he_o search_v not_o thing_n too_o deep_a he_o do_v but_o only_o pass_v over_o they_o and_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o glance_n as_o man_n term_v it_o hereby_o eliu_n mean_v to_o show_v that_o when_o we_o be_v afflict_v to_o the_o uttermost_a so_o as_o god_n seem_v to_o thunder_v in_o such_o wise_n upon_o we_o as_o if_o he_o will_v overwhelm_v we_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o consider_v what_o his_o wrath_n be_v and_o that_o if_o he_o will_v utter_v it_o too_o the_o full_a it_o be_v able_a to_o destroy_v not_o only_o some_o one_o man_n but_o also_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o world_n yea_o and_o to_o consume_v they_o utter_o and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o nothing_o you_o see_v then_o whereunto_o we_o be_v bring_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n furthermore_o it_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a admonishment_n too_o assuage_v the_o affliction_n that_o god_n send_v we_o for_o what_o cause_v we_o too_o think_v that_o we_o be_v torment_v out_o of_o measure_n it_o be_v because_o that_o to_o our_o seem_a god_n can_v not_o do_v worse_o and_o we_o can_v not_o offend_v god_n more_o on_o our_o part_n than_o when_o we_o conceive_v such_o a_o opinion_n of_o it_o so_o then_o according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v show_v let_v we_o learn_v to_o consider_v what_o god_n wrath_n be_v that_o be_v to_o say_v how_o dreadful_a it_o be_v and_o although_o he_o show_v himself_o very_o rough_a towards_o we_o yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o it_o be_v not_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o that_o which_o we_o shall_v feel_v if_o he_o will_v execute_v such_o rigour_n upon_o we_o as_o we_o have_v deserve_v see_v they_o that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o god_n wrath_n be_v such_o as_o be_v able_a in_o one_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n to_o destroy_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o world_n and_o that_o neither_o man_n in_o

bring_v utter_o to_o nothing_o we_o ought_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o notwithstanding_o that_o god_n deal_v sharp_o with_o we_o and_o send_v we_o very_o rough_a punishment_n much_o more_o they_o ought_v we_o still_o to_o be_v patient_a see_v that_o god_n spare_v we_o &_o bear_v with_o we_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n have_v we_o not_o cause_n to_o give_v he_o thanks_n see_v he_o utter_v not_o

let_v we_o weigh_v well_o these_o word_n of_o eliu_n when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n present_v punish_v be_v nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o wrath_n wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o say_v what_o the_o misery_n be_v great_a and_o i_o can_v endure_v no_o more_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o god_n wrath_n and_o compare_v it_o with_o all_o that_o can_v be_v endure_v in_o this_o world_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o very_a deed_n all_o that_o can_v be_v lay_v upon_o we_o here_o be_v nothing_o to_o it_o now_o see_v that_o all_o be_v nothing_o and_o that_o god_n search_v we_o not_o with_o extremity_n but_o pass_v over_o we_o light_o and_o as_o you_o will_v say_v glance_o so_o as_o he_o make_v a_o countenance_n to_o try_v we_o but_o examine_v we_o not_o straight_o because_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o bear_v it_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o restrain_v our_o murmur_n and_o if_o our_o flesh_n provoke_v we_o to_o impatiency_n as_o we_o be_v overmuch_o

thou_o in_o this_o present_a life_n at_o his_o own_o charge_n thou_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o work_n which_o he_o have_v create_v and_o yet_o he_o give_v thou_o

now_o visit_v we_o in_o his_o wrath_n nor_o examine_v thing_n to_o the_o uttermost_a we_o must_v not_o thereupon_o fall_v a_o sleep_n for_o the_o great_a day_n will_v come_v wherein_o nothing_o

dear_a for_o the_o time_n when_o they_o shall_v so_o abuse_v his_o patience_n which_o will_v allure_v they_o unto_o goodness_n by_o give_v they_o respite_n to_o amend_v see_v then_o that_o the_o

and_o thereupon_o conclude_v that_o he_o do_v but_o summon_v we_o and_o why_o too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v prevent_v his_o last_o judgement_n therefore_o let_v we_o always_o think_v upon_o the_o great_a day_n and_o not_o tarry_v till_o we_o be_v take_v tardy_a with_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o let_v every_o of_o we_o condemn_v himself_o when_o god_n stir_v we_o thereunto_o furthermore_o let_v we_o always_o bear_v in_o remembrance_n that_o god_n be_v oftentimes_o mindful_a of_o mercy_n in_o the_o mid_n of_o his_o displeasure_n and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o examine_v not_o the_o great_a multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n for_o how_o great_a be_v the_o multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n i_o pray_v you_o if_o every_o man_n will_v examine_v himself_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v shall_v he_o not_o find_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o sin_n in_o he_o yea_o and_o of_o so_o heinous_a offence_n as_o will_v utter_o dismay_v he_o but_o the_o
