this_o light_n be_v goodness_n ryghtuousnessr_n and_o truth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o here_o after_o the_o common_a fashion_n of_o man_n â–ª_o but_o intend_v too_o

three_o word_n goodness_n righteousness_n and_o holiness_n he_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o body_n wrong_a but_o endeavour_n too_o live_v upright_o and_o faithful_o with_o our_o

be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n according_a too_o my_o former_a say_n where_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o sun_n give_v not_o light_v to_o

shall_v always_o have_v his_o chief_a right_a for_o until_o we_o be_v rule_v under_o his_o awe_n every_o of_o we_o will_v love_v himself_o too_o much_o and_o desire_v too_o draw_v too_o himself_o

be_v do_v when_o we_o yield_v man_n their_o duty_n for_o that_o be_v a_o true_a trial_n and_o record_n that_o we_o fear_v god._n and_o now_o too_o show_v we_o how_o we_o shall_v live_v in_o the_o

too_o relieve_v their_o need_n and_o too_o bear_v patient_o with_o their_o infirmity_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o word_n goodness_n next_o that_o be_v righteousness_n which_o signify_v upright_o deal_n so_o as_o we_o take_v away_o no_o man_n good_n nor_o go_v about_o too_o advantage_n ourselves_o by_o the_o hindrance_n of_o our_o neighbour_n nor_o be_v give_v too_o pill_v and_o poll_n but_o too_o be_v short_a be_v content_v with_o whatsoever_o god_n give_v we_o without_o rake_v of_o other_o man_n good_n or_o possession_n unto_o we_o last_o of_o all_o be_v add_v truth_n which_o be_v contrary_a too_o all_o crafty_a pack_v and_o too_o all_o lewd_a practyze_n whereby_o we_o labour_v too_o draw_v other_o man_n good_n too_o we_o then_o have_v we_o once_o these_o three_o thing_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o charity_n reign_v full_o and_o perfect_o in_o we_o these_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v upon_o this_o strain_v will_v we_o then_o show_v that_o our_o train_n up_o in_o the_o gospel_n have_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a and_o that_o we_o have_v not_o forsake_v the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v we_o live_v upright_o and_o even_o among_o man_n and_o again_o let_v we_o be_v kind_a heart_a both_o in_o bear_v one_o with_o another_o infirmity_n and_o also_o in_o succour_v they_o at_o their_o need_n and_o final_o let_v we_o be_v faithful_a that_o be_v too_o say_v let_v we_o use_v no_o craft_n nor_o subtlety_n but_o let_v we_o be_v soothfast_n and_o wherein_o so_o ever_o we_o have_v too_o deal_v with_o other_o let_v they_o not_o find_v we_o double_a the_o thing_n therefore_o in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o god_n enlighten_v of_o we_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v no_o more_o plunge_v ourselves_o in_o darkness_n but_o that_o when_o we_o have_v once_o take_v light_n of_o he_o we_o also_o shall_v endeavour_n too_o give_v light_a too_o wretched_a unbeliever_n which_o wander_v and_o reel_v and_o stumble_v and_o be_v like_o too_o break_v their_o neck_n because_o they_o be_v as_o silly_a beast_n and_o no_o marvel_n at_o all_o for_o they_o have_v no_o light_n too_o guide_v

but_o what_o shall_v we_o on_o our_o side_n have_v too_o lay_v for_o ourselves_o when_o we_o stray_v so_o away_o see_v that_o god_n have_v enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o word_n and_o holy_a spirit_n

the_o true_a wisdom_n for_o whereof_o come_v it_o that_o man_n overshoot_v themselves_o into_o all_o evil_a 10._o but_o because_o they_o forget_v god_n and_o bury_v the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o

that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o we_o must_v not_o mistrust_v that_o he_o have_v suffer_v in_o vain_a for_o sure_o his_o suffering_n be_v too_o no_o purpose_n at_o all_o towards_o we_o

that_o therefore_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v upon_o the_o word_n that_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o but_o every_o of_o we_o also_o ought_v too_o apply_v it_o general_o

as_o ourselves_o then_o if_o we_o think_v too_o be_v allow_v of_o god_n and_o charity_n reign_v not_o in_o we_o we_o deceive_v ourselves_o the_o world_n may_v like_v well_o of_o we_o but_o all_o our_o

work_v all_o our_o work_v by_o she_o now_o then_o see_v that_o love_n be_v the_o true_a perfection_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o of_o all_o god_n child_n let_v we_o see_v what_o it_o import_v for_o if_o a_o man_n brag_v that_o he_o have_v it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n have_v neither_o lowliness_n nor_o gentleness_n nor_o patience_n he_o make_v the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o liar_n who_o not_o

insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v right_o hard_a for_o we_o too_o be_v low_o mind_v towards_o man_n when_o we_o can_v hold_v ourselves_o meek_o in_o obedience_n under_o god_n now_o then_o let_v we_o fight_v in_o such_o wise_n as_o all_o pride_n may_v be_v correct_v in_o we_o and_o therewithal_o enforce_v ourselves_o always_o too_o humility_n that_o we_o may_v be_v kind_a heart_a and_o fellowlyke_a with_o the_o faithful_a which_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o bear_v one_o with_o another_o the_o very_a heathen_a man_n have_v the_o skill_n too_o say_v that_o if_o we_o have_v the_o wit_n and_o discretion_n

mark_v the_o general_a article_n which_o i_o come_v now_o to_o touch_v which_o be_v that_o when_o we_o have_v superior_n over_o we_o we_o must_v not_o obey_v they_o as_o enforce_v 1._o but_o
because_o god_n have_v ordain_v they_o and_o there_o be_v no_o pre-eminence_n but_o of_o he_o as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v to_o the_o roman_n it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o he_o speak_v express_o of_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o extend_v too_o all_o authority_n as_o too_o that_o which_o parent_n have_v over_o their_o child_n husband_n over_o wife_n and_o master_n over_o their_o servant_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v full_o persuade_v of_o this_o that_o god_n intent_n be_v not_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v shuffle_v together_o as_o it_o will_v come_v too_o pass_v if_o there_o be_v no_o restraint_n but_o that_o some_o shall_v rule_v and_o have_v authority_n too_o command_v other_o and_o that_o they_o which_o be_v under_o they_o shall_v obey_v then_o be_v it_o a_o unrevocable_a sentence_n of_o god_n whereunto_o we_o must_v hold_v ourselves_o and_o be_v content_v for_o if_o we_o protest_v ourselves_o too_o be_v willing_a too_o obey_v god_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n will_v needs_o remove_v all_o order_n that_o he_o have_v set_v among_o we_o all_o that_o we_o speak_v with_o our_o mouth_n be_v but_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o we_o must_v give_v a_o proof_n of_o our_o humility_n too_o godward_n by_o our_o willing_a and_o easy_a bear_n of_o man_n yoke_n which_o he_o have_v lay_v upon_o we_o as_o it_o be_v his_o own_o hand_n let_v that_o be_v for_o one_o point_n now_o as_o i_o say_v this_o comprehend_v all_o subjection_n as_o well_o of_o people_n towards_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n of_o child_n towards_o their_o parent_n and_o of_o wife_n towards_o their_o husband_n as_o also_o of_o servant_n towards_o their_o master_n and_o when_o we_o once_o have_v that_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o we_o too_o withstand_v all_o the_o trouble_n and_o encumbrance_n that_o hinder_v we_o and_o turn_v we_o away_o from_o our_o duty_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o can_v submit_v ourselves_o too_o god_n will_v as_o i_o say_v all_o these_o dispute_n be_v unavailable_a and_o fond_a when_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v why_o be_o i_o bind_v too_o such_o a_o one_o why_o shall_v he_o hold_v his_o foot_n upon_o my_o throat_n who_o have_v give_v he_o more_o authority_n than_o i_o but_o see_v god_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o hold_v our_o peace_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o it_o we_o shall_v be_v too_o froward_a if_o we_o show_v not_o by_o our_o deed_n that_o we_o be_v willing_a too_o please_v our_o god_n and_o too_o fulfil_v his_o good_a will_n for_o if_o a_o master_n have_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o folk_n in_o his_o house_n he_o shall_v be_v of_o sufficient_a authority_n too_o appoint_v who_o he_o list_v too_o have_v the_o oversight_n of_o it_o and_o they_o must_v be_v obey_v a_o prince_n have_v his_o officer_n and_o they_o must_v command_v and_o other_o must_v harken_v too_o they_o and_o simple_o obey_v they_o and_o what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o when_o our_o god_n who_o be_v the_o soverein_o lord_n and_o father_n &_o have_v the_o right_a of_o pre-eminence_n and_o dominion_n over_o we_o will_v have_v we_o too_o obey_v such_o as_o he_o have_v appoint_v without_o make_v any_o reply_n for_o what_o can_v it_o boot_n too_o say_v the_o contrary_a therefore_o as_o i_o say_v let_v we_o print_v this_o counsel_n of_o saint_n paul_n thorough_o in_o our_o heart_n that_o when_o we_o do_v our_o duty_n willing_o and_o unfeigned_o towards_o those_o who_o god_n have_v set_v in_o authority_n over_o we_o we_o serve_v god_n himself_o and_o sooth_o without_o that_o mind_n all_o the_o virtue_n that_o we_o can_v have_v in_o outward_a show_n too_o the_o worldward_n shall_v be_v but_o smoke_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v a_o number_n of_o man_n that_o pretend_v marvellous_o well_o insomuch_o that_o they_o who_o they_o serve_v shall_v be_v content_v tootoo_o well_o with_o they_o but_o although_o such_o deal_n be_v allow_v among_o man_n yet_o be_v it_o nothing_o worth_a before_o god_n and_o why_o for_o god_n will_v be_v honour_v at_o our_o hand_n he_o will_v have_v man_n too_o enjoy_v their_o right_a in_o such_o wise_n as_o neither_o he_o be_v forget_v nor_o they_o as_o it_o be_v deface_v therefore_o if_o we_o will_v but_o only_o obey_v man_n and_o despise_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n will_v have_v too_o be_v as_o a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n too_o himself_o what_o a_o deal_n be_v that_o then_o let_v we_o tend_v always_o too_o he_o and_o dedicate_v ourselves_o too_o he_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v underlyng_n let_v we_o bear_v that_o yoke_n willing_o and_o with_o a_o free_a and_o unslavishe_a or_o unconstreyn_v mind_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n saint_n paul_n say_v express_o let_v not_o your_o service_n be_v eye_n service_n as_o though_o you_o seek_v too_o please_v man_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n they_o that_o play_v their_o pageant_n so_o fair_a as_o they_o say_v seek_v either_o recompense_n or_o else_o too_o be_v well_o intertain_v and_o feed_v with_o the_o fat_a or_o else_o too_o have_v great_a wage_n and_o afterward_o too_o have_v some_o extraordinary_a gift_n or_o reward_n when_o occasion_n serve_v that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o man_n hunt_v for_o when_o they_o have_v not_o a_o eye_n unto_o god_n but_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o although_o they_o who_o we_o serve_v be_v so_o froward_a as_o we_o can_v tell_v how_o too_o content_v they_o and_o we_o have_v not_o any_o hope_n that_o ever_o we_o shall_v get_v the_o value_n of_o a_o button_n at_o their_o hand_n yet_o we_o must_v nevertheless_o perform_v our_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o here_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v that_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o god_n command_v we_o we_o must_v not_o only_o employ_v our_o eye_n our_o foot_n our_o hand_n and_o our_o arm_n as_o they_o say_v but_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o the_o inwar●_n affection_n therefore_o when_o as_o

account_v it_o every_o whit_n as_o nothing_o and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v begin_v too_o serve_v god_n well_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o leave_v
