have_v no_o hope_n to_o be_v deliver_v in_o so_o great_a therefore_o and_o horrible_a danger_n i_o be_v so_o affect_v and_o persuade_v that_o i_o think_v myself_o as_o touch_v my_o corporal_a health_n and_o life_n to_o be_v reject_v and_o cast_v out_o of_o god_n favour_n for_o i_o never_o look_v to_o escape_v alive_a out_o of_o the_o whale_n belly_n and_o to_o see_v and_o visit_v the_o holy_a temple_n at_o jerusalem_n &_o to_o be_v conversant_a among_o man_n again_o thus_o we_o have_v the_o paraphrastical_a exposition_n of_o these_o verse_n in_o the_o which_o the_o prophet_n show_v the_o danger_n that_o he_o be_v in_o and_o the_o affection_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o thing_n ought_v special_o in_o these_o word_n to_o be_v consider_v and_o observe_v first_o of_o all_o the_o prophet_n speak_v unto_o god_n and_o affirm_v that_o he_o be_v cast_v by_o he_o into_o the_o sea_n but_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o mariner_n cast_v he_o into_o the_o sea_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v that_o ionas_n pretermit_v the_o mariner_n say_v unto_o god_n thou_o have_v cast_v i_o down_o neither_o do_v he_o say_v the_o roll_n and_o wave_n of_o the_o sea_n but_o he_o say_v thy_o wave_n and_o thy_o roll_n go_v over_o i_o by_o the_o which_o word_n the_o prophet_n teach_v we_o that_o in_o adversity_n &_o trouble_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o adversity_n but_o rather_o to_o look_v &_o have_v regard_n unto_o god_n the_o author_n of_o the_o same_o for_o we_o be_v so_o corrupt_a and_o affect_v by_o nature_n that_o we_o attribute_v and_o refer_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o affliction_n either_o to_o man_n or_o to_o satan_n and_o as_o it_o be_v common_o say_v of_o the_o bear_n that_o when_o she_o be_v hurt_v she_o revenge_v herself_o on_o that_o which_o be_v next_o unto_o she_o even_o so_o man_n be_v offend_v inveigh_v against_o the_o next_o or_o second_o cause_n by_o which_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v offend_v and_o hurt_v but_o if_o we_o consider_v well_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o our_o part_n in_o all_o adversity_n and_o trouble_n to_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n unto_o heaven_n to_o god_n the_o father_n the_o true_a and_o first_o cause_n of_o adversity_n and_o the_o author_n thereof_o for_o neither_o satan_n nor_o man_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n can_v hurt_v we_o no_o they_o can_v not_o move_v one_o hear_v of_o our_o head_n unless_o before_o power_n be_v give_v &_o grant_v of_o god_n from_o above_o one_o hear_v say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n fall_v not_o to_o the_o ground_n without_o the_o will_n of_o your_o heavenly_a father_n 10._o and_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n in_o his_o lamentation_n say_v what_o be_v he_o which_o say_v that_o neither_o good_a nor_o evil_n shall_v proceed_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o most_o high_a the_o which_o thing_n when_o good_a and_o godly_a man_n consider_v they_o turn_v not_o themselves_o to_o contumelious_a say_n to_o blasphemous_a oath_n to_o execrable_a and_o bitter_a curse_n in_o adversity_n and_o affliction_n as_o though_o man_n or_o any_o other_o creature_n have_v be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o same_o but_o they_o rather_o turn_v themselves_o by_o godly_a obedience_n and_o prayer_n unto_o god_n which_o be_v the_o special_a author_n of_o affliction_n and_o trouble_n affliction_n for_o although_o we_o ourselves_o be_v the_o principal_a cause_n of_o all_o our_o affliction_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o deserve_a cause_n of_o affliction_n but_o of_o the_o infer_v and_o bring_v cause_n of_o affliction_n the_o which_o be_v god_n the_o worker_n and_o giver_n of_o all_o thing_n 10._o without_o who_o will_n and_o providence_n the_o little_a sparrow_n fall_v not_o to_o the_o ground_n 1._o so_o jobe_n say_v the_o lord_n give_v and_o the_o lord_n take_v away_o when_o the_o chaldee_n take_v away_o his_o sheep_n and_o ox_n when_o the_o fire_n burn_v his_o corn_n and_o when_o the_o wind_n overthrow_v the_o house_n in_o the_o which_o his_o son_n and_o daughter_n be_v banquet_v so_o daniel_n say_v that_o the_o lord_n cast_v the_o jew_n out_o of_o jerusalem_n into_o all_o land_n 9_o when_o as_o notwithstanding_o the_o babylonian_n do_v it_o so_o ionas_n in_o this_o place_n affirm_v that_o the_o lord_n cast_v he_o into_o the_o sea_n when_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o text_n the_o mariner_n do_v it_o but_o we_o common_o in_o adversity_n say_v the_o lord_n give_v and_o the_o thief_n have_v take_v the_o lord_n give_v and_o the_o fire_n consume_v the_o lord_n give_v and_o the_o sea_n have_v drown_v contrary_a to_o the_o example_n of_o job_n daniel_n and_o ionas_n who_o have_v not_o cause_n unto_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n but_o unto_o the_o principal_a cause_n let_v we_o learn_v therefore_o by_o this_o example_n in_o all_o our_o trouble_n to_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n unto_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o heaven_n only_o and_o to_o impute_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o our_o trouble_n unto_o he_o that_o we_o thereby_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n may_v conceive_v patience_n and_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o repentance_n and_o invocation_n by_o the_o which_o we_o may_v obtain_v the_o true_a salvation_n the_o which_o we_o can_v obtain_v if_o we_o refer_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o adversity_n to_o creature_n which_o be_v but_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n and_o so_o fall_v to_o ban_v and_o curse_v they_o second_o we_o see_v that_o ionas_n be_v in_o the_o whale_n belly_n tremble_v with_o great_a horror_n and_o fear_n of_o death_n when_o the_o water_n say_v he_o compass_v i_o even_o to_o the_o very_a soul_n whereby_o he_o declare_v that_o with_o a_o fearful_a mind_n he_o look_v every_o moment_n for_o present_a death_n the_o legend_n of_o saint_n do_v declare_v unto_o we_o that_o they_o suffer_v death_n void_a almost_o of_o all_o pain_n and_o that_o they_o go_v to_o their_o death_n with_o no_o less_o courage_n and_o joy_n than_o if_o a_o maid_n shall_v prepare_v herself_o to_o the_o dance_n and_o true_o by_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n we_o have_v see_v by_o experience_n that_o one_o man_n have_v go_v to_o his_o death_n with_o a_o more_o stout_a and_o valiant_a mind_n than_o another_o for_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o they_o be_v in_o happy_a state_n which_o be_v withdraw_v by_o great_a fear_n of_o death_n for_o god_n do_v oftentimes_o exercise_v his_o saint_n with_o this_o fear_n that_o they_o may_v have_v a_o perfect_a feel_v and_o understand_v of_o the_o imbecilicie_n and_o weakness_n of_o their_o flesh_n and_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o thereby_o to_o be_v the_o more_o fervent_a in_o prayer_n to_o god_n who_o be_v more_o strong_a more_o holy_a and_o more_o mighty_a than_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o he_o shall_v suffer_v death_n he_o be_v vex_v with_o so_o great_a fear_n that_o he_o tremble_v and_o bleed_v a_o bloody_a sweat_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o do_v he_o not_o know_v that_o by_o this_o death_n he_o shall_v redeem_v mankind_n and_o enter_v into_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n yes_o undoubted_o he_o know_v it_o what_o do_v he_o fear_v then_o he_o fear_v to_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o perfect_a man_n and_o by_o this_o fear_n to_o satisfy_v for_o man_n and_o to_o have_v the_o victory_n over_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n that_o if_o we_o at_o any_o time_n shall_v be_v trouble_v with_o fear_n shall_v not_o despair_v but_o have_v a_o certain_a and_o sure_a hope_n and_o call_v upon_o god_n for_o deliverance_n for_o he_o do_v not_o reject_v we_o for_o our_o imbecility_n but_o the_o more_o weak_a and_o fearful_a we_o be_v the_o more_o care_n he_o have_v over_o we_o be_v not_o david_n a_o valiant_a man_n a_o mighty_a a_o worthy_a and_o a_o holy_a prophet_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o he_o think_v upon_o the_o deceit_n 55._o and_o cruelty_n of_o his_o enemy_n he_o say_v fearfulness_n and_o tremble_a be_v come_v upon_o i_o and_o a_o horrible_a dread_n of_o death_n have_v overwhelm_v i_o by_o the_o which_o he_o be_v make_v so_o timorous_a and_o so_o fearful_a that_o he_o say_v oh_o that_o i_o have_v wing_n like_o a_o dove_n for_o than_o will_v i_o fly_v away_o and_o be_v at_o rest_n what_o be_v therefore_o do_v to_o so_o valiant_a a_o worthy_a that_o so_o childish_o he_o shall_v fear_v death_n this_o fear_n of_o itself_o be_v not_o impiety_n but_o it_o be_v partly_o a_o punishment_n of_o impiety_n for_o if_o man_n have_v not_o sin_v he_o have_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n this_o part_n therefore_o of_o punishment_n be_v leave_v even_o in_o the_o most_o holy_a man_n first_o that_o they_o may_v acknowledge_v

in_o ninive_n which_o be_v a_o work_n not_o only_o laborious_a but_o also_o dangerous_a here_o therefore_o we_o be_v teach_v whereunto_o we_o be_v call_v of_o god_n and_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v when_o we_o have_v receive_v any_o benefit_n at_o his_o hand_n for_o we_o true_o be_v so_o corrupt_v by_o nature_n with_o sin_n that_o after_o we_o have_v receive_v benefit_n we_o be_v more_o perverse_a and_o disobedient_a unto_o god_n than_o we_o be_v before_o and_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o they_o which_o have_v come_v from_o extreme_a beggary_n and_o penury_n to_o great_a

this_o place_n teach_v we_o true_a obedience_n and_o piety_n for_o after_o that_o we_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o great_a peril_n and_o danger_n we_o must_v not_o be_v idle_a neither_o must_v we_o then_o begin_v to_o despise_v god_n but_o rather_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o obey_v god_n and_o his_o call_n and_o to_o be_v thankful_a for_o those_o benefit_n that_o we_o have_v receive_v at_o his_o hand_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o saint_n john_n our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v to_o the_o man_n that_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o health_n 5._o behold_v thou_o be_v now_o make_v whole_a

death_n behold_v thou_o have_v receive_v a_o excellent_a benefit_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v not_o therefore_o unthankful_a but_o seek_v by_o all_o mean_v thou_o can_v to_o show_v a_o thankful_a mind_n by_o do_v thy_o duty_n for_o god_n most_o liberal_o bestow_v his_o benefit_n not_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v worse_o but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v better_o but_o and_o it_o we_o abuse_v the_o benefit_n of_o god_n as_o riches_n to_o luxury_n and_o to_o fulfil_v our_o pleasure_n wine_n to_o drunkenness_n and_o health_n to_o dishonesty_n and_o wicked_a life_n then_o let_v

to_o perform_v the_o will_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n sure_o the_o affliction_n peril_n and_o trouble_v be_v the_o cause_n as_o have_v be_v already_o at_o large_a declare_v we_o see_v therefore_o what_o be_v the_o principal_a reason_n why_o god_n do_v oftentimes_o lay_v cross_n and_o sundry_a affliction_n upon_o we_o ionas_n will_v not_o simp_o at_o the_o first_o obey_v the_o word_n of_o the_o

in_o adversity_n and_o trouble_n which_o we_o refuse_v in_o prosperity_n and_o ease_n so_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o our_o father_n send_v to_o the_o citizen_n of_o jerusalem_n that_o they_o shall_v forsake_v their_o idolatry_n but_o when_o they_o will_v not_o obey_v his_o word_n in_o liberty_n they_o be_v constrain_v to_o learn_v obedience_n in_o captivity_n wherefore_o when_o we_o flourish_v
