the_o glory_n be_v depart_v 468_o as_o in_o a_o structure_n the_o stone_n can_v subsist_v in_o the_o build_n by_o any_o quality_n or_o inherent_a virtue_n of_o their_o own_o but_o only_o by_o the_o direct_a and_o perpendicular_a dependence_n and_o subsistence_n which_o they_o have_v upon_o the_o foundation_n so_o in_o the_o church_n no_o grace_n nor_o inherent_a excellency_n do_v hold_v man_n up_o but_o only_o the_o full_a and_o sole_a reliance_n and_o subsistence_n of_o the_o soul_n upon_o christ_n 469_o as_o god_n furnish_v cyrus_n with_o treasure_n for_o the_o build_n of_o the_o temple_n so_o he_o furnish_v many_o of_o the_o heathen_a with_o much_o light_n of_o knowledge_n and_o literature_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o church_n and_o child_n 470_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v a_o ring_n the_o church_n a_o diamond_n both_o well_o set_v together_o receive_v and_o return_v lustre_n each_o to_o other_o 471_o some_o cut_v off_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o church_n maintenance_n under_o a_o pretence_n to_o cure_v she_o of_o a_o tympany_n of_o superfluity_n 472_o whosoever_o have_v not_o a_o pearl_n of_o prejudice_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o judgement_n must_v needs_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v sacrilege_n to_o take_v away_o the_o dowry_n of_o the_o church_n without_o assure_v she_o any_o jointure_n in_o lieu_n of_o it_o 473_o we_o shall_v beseech_v god_n so_o to_o sanctify_v his_o creature_n to_o we_o as_o that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v either_o thief_n against_o he_o to_o steal_v away_o his_o honour_n or_o snare_n to_o we_o to_o entangle_v our_o soul_n 474_o a_o man_n can_v never_o be_v bring_v to_o god_n till_o he_o forsake_v the_o creature_n nor_o can_v he_o be_v bring_v to_o forsake_v the_o creature_n till_o he_o see_v vanity_n in_o it_o 475_o when_o any_o creature_n lose_v any_o of_o its_o native_a and_o create_v vigour_n it_o be_v a_o manifest_a sign_n that_o there_o be_v some_o secret_a sentence_n of_o death_n gnaw_v upon_o it_o 476_o as_o prick_n and_o quaver_n and_o rest_n in_o music_n commend_v the_o cunning_a of_o the_o artist_n and_o delight_v the_o hearer_n as_o well_o as_o more_o perfect_a note_n so_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o creature_n have_v so_o much_o goodness_n in_o they_o as_o may_v set_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o minister_v content_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n 477_o as_o some_o promise_n be_v in_o our_o hand_n perform_v already_o as_o reward_n for_o our_o service_n past_a so_o other_o be_v still_o before_o our_o eye_n to_o call_v and_o allure_v we_o as_o the_o price_n unto_o which_o we_o press_v 478_o god_n promise_n be_v full_a of_o consolation_n as_o a_o dug_n be_v of_o milk_n therefore_o when_o we_o faint_v we_o shall_v milk_n out_o consolation_n out_o of_o they_o which_o will_v relieve_v and_o stay_v our_o heart_n 479_o plausible_a and_o witty_a evasion_n to_o avoid_v perjury_n be_v but_o the_o tie_n of_o a_o most_o artificial_a knot_n in_o the_o halter_n therewith_o to_o strangle_v one_o own_o conscience_n 480_o a_o oath_n be_v the_o high_a appeal_n perjury_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o heinous_a sin_n 481_o a_o oath_n be_v the_o strong_a bond_n of_o conscience_n the_o end_n of_o particular_a strife_n the_o soldier_n of_o public_a peace_n the_o sole_a assurance_n of_o amity_n betwixt_o divers_a nation_n make_v here_o below_o but_o enroll_v in_o his_o high_a court_n who_o glorious_a name_n do_v sign_n it_o 482_o a_o resolution_n be_v a_o free_a custody_n but_o a_o vow_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o prison_n which_o restrain_v nature_n have_v the_o more_o desire_n to_o break_v 483_o as_o samson_n be_v bind_v in_o vain_a with_o any_o cord_n so_o long_o as_o his_o hair_n grow_v into_o its_o full_a length_n so_o in_o vain_a do_v any_o man_n bind_v himself_o with_o vow_n so_o long_o as_o he_o nourish_v his_o lust_n within_o he_o 484_o truth_n sometime_o seek_v corner_n as_o fear_v her_o judge_n though_o never_o as_o suspect_v her_o cause_n 485_o truth_n have_v always_o a_o good_a face_n though_o often_o but_o bad_a clothes_n 486_o truth_n be_v like_o our_o first_o parent_n most_o beautiful_a when_o naked_a it_o be_v sin_n that_o cover_v they_o and_o its_o ignorance_n that_o hide_v this_o or_o if_o she_o do_v appear_v in_o raiment_n of_o needle_n work_n it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o more_o majestic_a comeliness_n not_o gaudy_a gayness_n 487_o as_o those_o part_n of_o the_o nail_n next_o to_o the_o flesh_n which_o at_o first_o be_v soft_a than_o the_o rest_n do_v of_o themselves_o grow_v into_o that_o hardness_n which_o be_v in_o the_o rest_n so_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o man_n have_v the_o seed_n of_o that_o insensibility_n in_o they_o which_o make_v they_o at_o last_o deaf_a to_o every_o charm_n and_o secure_a against_o all_o the_o thunder_n which_o be_v threaten_v against_o they_o 488_o some_o have_v sluice_n in_o their_o conscience_n and_o can_v keep_v they_o open_v or_o shut_v they_o up_o at_o their_o pleasure_n 489_o that_o be_v the_o best_a glass_n that_o show_v the_o small_a spot_n the_o bright_a light_n that_o show_v the_o least_o mote_n the_o fine_a flesh_n that_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o least_o prick_v so_o that_o conscience_n that_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o least_o sin_n or_o fail_v be_v the_o perfection_n of_o christianity_n whereunto_o we_o all_o shall_v strive_v to_o attain_v 490_o lay_v a_o heavy_a burden_n upon_o a_o whole_a shoulder_n and_o it_o go_v away_o with_o it_o well_o enough_o so_o if_o the_o soul_n and_o spirit_n be_v sound_a and_o god_n enable_v a_o man_n to_o bear_v it_o disease_n imprisonment_n disgrace_n etc._n etc._n be_v easy_o bear_v 491_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o voluptuous_a ambitious_a and_o riotous_a person_n be_v like_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o elementary_a region_n full_a of_o unquietness_n because_o the_o seat_n of_o wind_n tempest_n and_o earthquake_n whilst_o the_o believer_n soul_n be_v like_o that_o part_n towards_o heaven_n which_o be_v always_o peaceable_a and_o still_o enjoy_v true_a rest_n and_o joy_n 492_o as_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v strong_a there_o where_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o see_v in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n do_v often_o lie_v heavy_a there_o where_o they_o be_v least_o perceive_v viz._n in_o a_o hard_a heart_n 493_o if_o a_o little_a stone_n fall_v from_o a_o high_a place_n do_v more_o hurt_v than_o a_o far_o great_a that_o be_v but_o gentle_o lay_v on_o how_o woeful_a must_v their_o case_n be_v who_o shall_v have_v millstone_n and_o mountain_n throw_v with_o god_n own_o arm_n from_o heaven_n upon_o they_o 494_o as_o god_n wrath_n be_v heavy_a and_o so_o exceed_v the_o strength_n of_o nature_n to_o overcome_v it_o so_o its_o infinite_a also_o and_o so_o exclude_v the_o hope_n of_o nature_n to_o escape_v it_o 495_o warning_n of_o god_n judgement_n be_v least_o fear_v by_o those_o who_o they_o most_o concern_v and_o most_o fear_v by_o those_o who_o they_o least_o concern_v 496_o man_n mark_v out_o by_o god_n for_o destruction_n will_v run_v their_o own_o head_n into_o the_o halter_n 497_o as_o general_n when_o a_o general_a fault_n be_v commit_v by_o their_o soldier_n cast_a lot_n and_o pick_v out_o two_o or_o three_o and_o put_v they_o to_o death_n that_o the_o army_n may_v be_v save_v so_o the_o lord_n take_v
