we_o away_o when_o we_o use_v violence_n and_o outrage_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n for_o when_o we_o devour_v one_o and_o fleece_v another_o of_o all_o his_o good_n and_o show_v all_o the_o spite_n

be_v but_o even_o in_o that_o only_a one_o respect_n and_o therefore_o needs_o must_v man_n be_v bewitch_v and_o utter_o ignorant_a what_o themselves_o be_v and_o what_o their_o state_n be_v when_o they_o overshoot_v themselves_o and_o very_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o prophet_n abacuch_n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o righteous_a man_n shall_v live_v by_o faith_n avouch_v on_o the_o

rather_o spare_v they_o and_o lay_v the_o reins_n of_o the_o bridle_n loose_a in_o their_o neck_n so_o as_o they_o triumph_v at_o their_o pleasure_n howbeit_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o too_o appoint_v the_o term_n too_o say_v that_o at_o such_o a_o hour_n god_n shall_v confound_v and_o destroy_v all_o proud_a folk_n he_o will_v do_v it_o howbeit_o in_o his_o due_a

as_o though_o there_o be_v no_o power_n to_o repress_v they_o yet_o have_v he_o still_o his_o office_n which_o belong_v unto_o he_o namely_o of_o root_a out_o the_o proud_a and_o wicked_a sort_n with_o his_o only_a look_n yea_o but_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o scripture_n sometime_o he_o hide_v himself_o from_o his_o faithful_a one_o not_o that_o he_o ever_o forget_v they_o or_o be_v not_o careful_a of_o they_o but_o he_o show_v not_o himself_o in_o outward_a work_n to_o the_o intent_n too_o try_v our_o faith_n and_o patience_n it_o may_v seem_v too_o we_o that_o god_n have_v forget_v we_o when_o we_o be_v in_o any_o danger_n and_o special_o when_o we_o feel_v the_o blow_n and_o final_o when_o we_o see_v death_n present_a and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o perceive_v not_o that_o god_n mind_v to_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n and_o yet_o even_o then_o we_o cry_v unto_o he_o alas_o lord_n where_o be_v thou_o why_o have_v thou_o forget_v i_o such_o complaint_n make_v we_o according_a to_o our_o fleshly_a understanding_n and_o so_o god_n seem_v not_o too_o look_v upon_o the_o proud_a when_o he_o suffer_v they_o to_o cast_v forth_o their_o poison_n after_o that_o fashion_n and_o bear_v with_o the_o number_n of_o outrage_n and_o enormity_n which_o they_o commit_v yea_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o their_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v let_v we_o tarry_v till_o god_n open_v his_o eye_n upon_o they_o and_o then_o shall_v they_o be_v destroy_v then_o if_o they_o be_v bear_v withal_o for_o a_o time_n and_o god_n wink_v at_o they_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o their_o turn_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v wherein_o he_o will_v look_v upon_o they_o in_o his_o wrath_n to_o root_v they_o out_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o now_o this_o lesson_n ought_v to_o serve_v to_o double_a use_n for_o the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o take_v comfort_n at_o it_o and_o although_o god_n deliver_v they_o not_o from_o the_o tyranny_n of_o the_o wicked_a at_o the_o first_o brunt_n yet_o have_v they_o cause_n to_o rest_v upon_o he_o why_o for_o he_o have_v not_o give_v over_o his_o office_n no_o though_o they_o exalt_v themselves_o against_o he_o but_o their_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v he_o shall_v feed_v they_o as_o man_n do_v ox_n and_o like_a as_o man_n know_v when_o it_o be_v time_n to_o kill_v the_o ox_n so_o do_v god_n know_v well_o enough_o the_o day_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o proud_a and_o of_o all_o the_o wicked_a you_o see_v then_o how_o first_o of_o all_o the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o be_v patient_a when_o they_o see_v god_n delay_v the_o root_n out_o of_o the_o proud_a and_o wicked_a sort_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o must_v hold_v themselves_o quiet_a till_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v the_o proud_a sort_n bethink_v themselves_o and_o let_v we_o be_v afraid_a to_o flatter_v ourselves_o if_o god_n spare_v we_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o we_o be_v escape_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n neither_o let_v we_o gather_v the_o more_o boldness_n to_o attempt_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o under_o colour_n that_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o and_o wink_v at_o we_o and_o why_o for_o in_o the_o end_n he_o will_v look_v upon_o we_o and_o then_o shall_v our_o fault_n be_v bewray_v to_o our_o great_a confusion_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o although_o man_n perceive_v not_o god_n judgement_n in_o eyesight_n day_n by_o day_n yet_o must_v they_o not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o walk_v in_o fear_n and_o carefulness_n but_o the_o rather_o be_v bridle_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o herein_o also_o do_v our_o faith_n show_v itself_o namely_o if_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o adversity_n we_o can_v fasten_v our_o eye_n upon_o god_n gracious_a promise_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o the_o state_n of_o the_o wicked_a seem_v to_o be_v better_a than_o the_o state_n of_o the_o godly_a let_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o hope_v continual_o for_o the_o everlasting_a life_n although_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v see_v why_o so_o because_o god_n have_v promise_v it_o and_o whatsoever_o come_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n can_v be_v deceivable_a you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n we_o ought_v too_o put_v this_o lesson_n in_o ure_n but_o now_o let_v we_o see_v if_o we_o can_v do_v the_o like_a thing_n as_o be_v report_v here_o of_o god_n can_v we_o destroy_v the_o wicked_a with_o one_o only_a look_n can_v we_o rid_v the_o earth_n of_o all_o proud_a folk_n as_o god_n can_v do_v when_o he_o think_v good_a alas_o what_o be_v we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o give_v glory_n

we_o be_v beat_v with_o god_n rod_n we_o may_v know_v that_o satan_n procure_v it_o yea_o even_o to_o cast_v we_o into_o despair_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o s._n paul_n show_v we_o in_o the_o text_n which_o have_v be_v allege_v a_o few_o day_n ago_o namely_o that_o we_o have_v battle_n against_o spiritual_a power_n and_o not_o against_o flesh_n &_o blood_n as_o often_o then_o as_o any_o evil_n befall_v we_o let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o satan_n have_v practise_v it_o against_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v withstand_v he_o by_o faith_n and_o that_o we_o be_v fence_a &_o arm_v with_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n and_o know_v that_o satan_n have_v so_o great_a power_n over_o we_o may_v retire_v ourselves_o to_o the_o refuge_n of_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o strengthen_v we_o here_o you_o see_v whereunto_o the_o scripture_n have_v a_o eye_n in_o that_o case_n and_o now_o for_o the_o second_o point_n the_o scripture_n mean_v to_o show_v god_n fatherly_a love_n towards_o we_o in_o somuch_o as_o he_o support_v we_o as_o his_o little_a babe_n and_o give_v not_o any_o such_o liberty_n over_o we_o as_o our_o enemy_n will_v very_o fain_o have_v special_o that_o he_o may_v take_v his_o pleasure_n in_o afflict_v we_o be_v it_o not_o that_o he_o know_v how_o the_o same_o be_v for_o our_o singular_a welfare_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v be_v full_o resolve_v upon_o this_o point_n namely_o that_o though_o we_o know_v not_o wherefore_o god_n punish_v we_o we_o must_v always_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o to_o be_v rightful_a but_o yet_o therewithal_o it_o behove_v we_o more_o over_o to_o have_v this_o lesson_n print_v in_o our_o heart_n namely_o that_o god_n love_v we_o so_o tender_o that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o bring_v we_o home_o again_o in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o spare_v we_o and_o hold_v we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o lap_n for_o so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v now_o then_o when_o we_o see_v satan_n come_v to_o kindle_v
hangman_n leave_v to_o do_v what_o he_o listen_v when_o a_o judge_n must_v set_v upon_o a_o offender_n and_o give_v sentence_n according_a as_o law_n and_o conscience_n will_v bear_v will_v he_o say_v

yes_o out_o of_o doubt_n be_v it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o the_o wicked_a run_v riot_n and_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o put_v all_o to_o confusion_n god_n be_v

after_o what_o sort_n god_n guide_v and_o govern_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v here_o beneath_o it_o be_v true_a as_o we_o have_v see_v already_o that_o satan_n desire_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o too_o destroy_v and_o bring_v all_o thing_n too_o ruin_n but_o god_n on_o the_o other_o side_n intend_v a_o clean_a contrary_a end_n for_o all_o his_o work_v be_v call_v judgement_n and_o in_o so_o say_v the_o holy_a scripture_n by_o that_o one_o word_n alone_o mean_v too_o take_v away_o all_o the_o lewd_a imagination_n that_o may_v come_v in_o our_o mind_n so_o as_o this_o be_v as_o a_o mark_n to_o justify_v all_o the_o work_v of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o they_o be_v judgement_n and_o rightfulness_n and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o god_n punish_v such_o as_o have_v offend_v and_o who_o be_v he_o that_o be_v able_a too_o plead_v against_o he_o that_o he_o do_v not_o well_o moreover_o his_o meaning_n be_v too_o inure_v his_o faithful_a one_o too_o patience_n too_o mortify_v their_o fleshly_a affection_n and_o to_o teach_v they_o lowliness_n what_o say_v we_o too_o these_o thing_n can_v we_o condemn_v they_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o we_o can_v not_o take_v i_o even_o the_o wicked_a man_n that_o live_v and_o demand_v of_o they_o whither_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o god_n to_o chastise_v man_n sin_n and_o transgression_n or_o whither_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o to_o humble_v those_o that_o be_v he_o too_o exercise_v the_o obedientness_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o to_o tame_v they_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v learn_v to_o renounce_v the_o world_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v fain_a to_o glorify_v god_n spite_v of_o their_o tooth_n see_v then_o that_o god_n level_v at_o that_o mark_n it_o follow_v that_o all_o his_o work_n be_v just_a and_o rightful_a notwithstanding_o that_o man_n do_v cavil_n against_o they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a cease_v not_o to_o grunte_z and_o bark_v against_o god_n though_o they_o can_v bite_v he_o but_o yet_o must_v it_o needs_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o david_n say_v in_o the_o one_o and_o fyftith_n psalm_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v justify_v or_o find_v righteous_a in_o judge_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o david_n speak_v so_o for_o he_o know_v how_o there_o be_v so_o overgreat_a at_o boldness_n and_o naughtiness_n in_o man_n that_o they_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o god_n and_o to_o cast_v forth_o word_n at_o all_o adventure_n david_n therefore_o perceive_v such_o malapertness_n and_o frowardness_n in_o the_o world_n say_v very_o well_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o creature_n pass_v their_o bound_n so_o far_o and_o with_o such_o excess_n that_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v blaspheme_v and_o put_v too_o reproach_n and_o his_o creature_n become_v as_o his_o judge_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v find_v clear_a when_o man_n have_v grudge_v their_o fill_n against_o he_o in_o the_o end_n and_o at_o the_o knit_n up_o his_o righteousness_n will_v appear_v spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n then_o let_v we_o not_o marvel_v though_o there_o be_v murmur_v against_o the_o doctrine_n for_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v prophesy_v so_o beforehand_o as_o we_o see_v but_o let_v we_o walk_v on_o in_o singleness_n of_o mind_n and_o hold_v ourselves_o content_v with_o that_o which_o god_n declare_v to_o we_o concern_v himself_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o practice_v the_o say_a lesson_n and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o hold_v fast_o the_o comfort_n that_o be_v give_v we_o here_o and_o let_v we_o fence_v ourselves_o with_o it_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o satan_n and_o all_o the_o wicked_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n may_v lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o we_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o must_v pass_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o execute_v his_o will._n and_o that_o shall_v be_v perforce_o spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n but_o yet_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o because_o god_n have_v sovereign_a preeminence_n over_o all_o the_o world_n and_o as_o well_o the_o devil_n as_o the_o wicked_a sort_n be_v subject_n to_o he_o and_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o his_o consent_n and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v again_o that_o satan_n appear_v among_o the_o child_n of_o god_n before_o he_o for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o satan_n mean_v not_o too_o disguyze_v himself_o through_o hypocrisy_n that_o he_o may_v intermeddle_v himself_o among_o the_o angel_n but_o he_o be_v fain_o too_o appear_v before_o god_n to_o yield_v a_o account_n of_o his_o do_n not_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v one_o in_o some_o place_n certain_a but_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o too_o apply_v itself_o too_o our_o rudeness_n because_o we_o conceive_v not_o how_o all_o thing_n be_v present_a afore_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v of_o such_o a_o power_n and_o preeminence_n as_o nothing_o be_v hide_v from_o he_o when_o this_o be_v utter_v unto_o we_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o scripture_n apply_v itself_o to_o our_o reason_n and_o that_o it_o teach_v we_o by_o such_o mean_a as_o be_v most_o convenient_a for_o we_o and_o most_o agreeable_a to_o our_o understanding_n god_n therefore_o be_v liken_v here_o to_o a_o prince_n that_o hold_v his_o assize_n or_o court_n whereunto_o all_o man_n must_v come_v before_o he_o and_o there_o be_v judge_v and_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o upon_o a_o certain_a day_n the_o devil_n make_v his_o appearance_n with_o the_o angel_n let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o like_a as_o god_n send_v his_o angel_n to_o guide_v we_o &_o to_o be_v minister_n of_o our_o welfare_n so_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v his_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

in_o these_o day_n as_o it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v that_o man_n do_v make_v their_o reckon_v to_o provoke_v god_n to_o anger_n let_v we_o learn_v therefore_o on_o our_o side_n to_o walk_v in_o

have_v keep_v on_o their_o way_n in_o this_o rightness_n &_o soundness_n can_v never_o be_v confound_v true_a it_o be_v that_o to_o the_o worldward_n man_n may_v oppress_v they_o with_o false_a

that_o there_o be_v no_o might_n no_o strength_n no_o power_n like_o he_o in_o all_o the_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

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

god_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o do_v punish_v man_n without_o cause_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o that_o be_v a_o unjust_a tyranny_n but_o he_o take_v these_o word_n without_o cause_n in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o we_o perceive_v and_o herein_o it_o be_v include_v that_o we_o must_v reverence_v god_n justice_n although_o it_o be_v hide_v and_o overcast_v with_o dark_a and_o

what_o job_n mean_v by_o say_v that_o he_o be_v wound_v without_o cause_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v demand_v of_o he_o know_v thou_o any_o evident_a cause_n in_o thyself_o why_o god_n punish_v thou_o i_o see_v none_o for_o job_n be_v handle_v after_o a_o very_a strange_a fashion_n we_o have_v see_v how_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o mirror_n of_o a_o

there_o be_v no_o reason_n in_o it_o as_o too_o his_o knowledge_n that_o be_v true_a for_o he_o speak_v not_o in_o hypocrisy_n and_o in_o deed_n god_n do_v it_o not_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o

because_o the_o devil_n accuse_v he_o that_o he_o have_v neither_o uprightness_n nor_o soundness_n in_o he_o and_o god_n mean_v that_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o trial_n and_o that_o man_n shall_v

â–ª_o wicked_a man_n and_o deal_v not_o so_o rough_o with_o they_o and_o so_o we_o see_v now_o that_o job_n blaspheme_v not_o at_o all_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n wound_v he_o without_o cause_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o word_n be_v mean_v simple_o as_o he_o speak_v it_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o know_v not_o any_o special_a cause_n why_o god_n punish_v he_o so_o according_a as_o of_o truth_n he_o know_v none_o but_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n if_o god_n shall_v use_v all_o the_o rigour_n that_o be_v possible_a against_o a_o man_n that_o be_v like_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n and_o walk_v in_o all_o soundness_n and_o perfection_n i_o say_v if_o god_n shall_v utter_v all_o his_o rigour_n against_o he_o yet_o shall_v he_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a still_o yea_o very_o and_o yet_o be_v that_o without_o cause_n true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o take_v counsel_n of_o our_o own_o brain_n if_o we_o discuss_v the_o case_n as_o it_o come_v too_o our_o own_o fleshly_a understanding_n we_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v without_o cause_n but_o without_o any_o inquisition_n or_o without_o run_v a_o head_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o conclude_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v righteous_a he_o know_v why_o he_o do_v it_o we_o see_v no_o cause_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o glorify_v he_o lo_o in_o what_o plight_n job_n be_v and_o he_o add_v that_o god_n give_v he_o not_o

and_o the_o chief_a piece_n of_o his_o temptation_n be_v that_o god_n feed_v he_o with_o bitterness_n that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o he_o fill_v he_o in_o such_o wise_a with_o anguish_n as_o he_o can_v find_v so_o much_o as_o one_o little_a scrap_n of_o his_o goodness_n too_o refresh_v he_o with_o that_o he_o may_v take_v courage_n and_o here_o you_o see_v yet_o better_a how_o god_n do_v now_o and_o then_o cast_v his_o servant_n even_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o their_o grave_n and_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o we_o ought_v too_o mark_v well_o for_o there_o be_v not_o that_o man_n of_o we_o

what_o punishment_n so_o ever_o be_v prepare_v for_o they_o and_o there_o be_v also_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o justice_n job_n take_v both_o these_o thing_n here_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v

stand_v for_o if_o we_o perish_v yet_o have_v we_o no_o cause_n to_o grudge_v at_o it_o again_o if_o god_n call_v we_o too_o himself_o offer_v we_o his_o grace_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n

thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o bestow_v all_o good_a thing_n upon_o we_o that_o we_o can_v desire_v and_o which_o be_v meet_v for_o our_o salvation_n

too_o step_v yet_o far_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n a_o secret_a wisdom_n which_o surmount_v all_o the_o capacity_n of_o man_n and_o whereunto_o we_o can_v

man_n be_v sinner_n &_o have_v deserve_v it_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o god_n punish_v they_o thereafter_o to_o the_o full_a or_o that_o he_o keep_v one_o continual_a rate_n so_o as_o he_o

when_o we_o take_v in_o hand_n to_o teach_v our_o neighbour_n let_v we_o consider_v well_o what_o be_v fit_a for_o they_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v s._n paul_n be_v fit_a to_o teach_v too_o

afore_o if_o we_o see_v a_o poor_a sinner_n that_o be_v cast_v down_o and_o mourn_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o return_v unto_o god_n let_v it_o be_v show_v he_o that_o god_n

we_o knock_v upon_o his_o hard_a part_n with_o a_o beetle_n to_o make_v he_o meeken_fw-ge himself_o before_o god_n and_o if_o we_o see_v a_o slothful_a person_n he_o must_v be_v prick_v forward_o

let_v we_o keep_v we_o from_o such_o deal_n and_o when_o we_o spy_v satan_n wiliness_n in_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v utter_o past_a recovery_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o help_n too_o

too_o bring_v we_o back_o unto_o god_n we_o must_v enter_v into_o his_o promise_n we_o must_v give_v heedful_a ear_n unto_o they_o and_o we_o must_v set_v all_o our_o wit_n upon_o they_o moreover_o when_o we_o see_v there_o be_v to_o much_o slothfulness_n in_o ourselves_o so_o as_o we_o have_v need_v too_o be_v prick_v and_o spur_v let_v we_o take_v we_o too_o the_o exhortation_n that_o be_v

strip_v out_o of_o his_o possession_n even_o so_o do_v thou_o lord_n make_v i_o to_o keep_v possession_n of_o my_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v i_o can_v be_v rid_v of_o this_o curse_a and_o unhappy_a possession_n of_o my_o sin_n i_o be_o so_o wrap_v in_o they_o as_o i_o can_v get_v out_o of_o they_o here_o job_n acknowledge_v that_o god_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o scourge_v he_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v out_o of_o patience_n and_o to_o chafe_v and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n see_v that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o singular_a mirror_n of_o patience_n be_v nevertheless_o provoke_v too_o such_o temptation_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o know_v why_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o youth_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 have_v be_v so_o gracious_a to_o i_o as_o too_o bring_v i_o back_o and_o to_o reform_v i_o to_o thy_o service_n wherefore_o then_o do_v thou_o gather_v a_o beadroll_n of_o my_o fault_n which_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v forget_v wherefore_o come_v thou_o to_o lay_v they_o before_o i_o again_o see_v thou_o have_v pardon_v i_o they_o be_v it_o meet_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v entangle_v in_o they_o new_a 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 rigour_n and_o that_o we_o be_v loathsome_a in_o his_o sight_n we_o must_v not_o think_v we_o have_v gain_v aught_o by_o find_v fault_n with_o he_o for_o we_o have_v well_o deserve_v much_o more_o and_o that_o be_v the_o point_n that_o we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o unto_o furthermore_o of_o who_o be_v it_o long_o that_o god_n write_v bitter_o against_o we_o and_o that_o he_o use_v not_o his_o accustom_a sweetness_n which_o he_o be_v wont_a to_o use_v towards_o those_o that_o be_v he_o of_o who_o be_v it_o long_o say_v i_o that_o he_o show_v not_o himself_o so_o sweet_a but_o 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 a_o season_n he_o will_v show_v himself_o gracious_a and_o pitiful_a towards_o we_o yea_o very_o when_o he_o perceive_v it_o to_o be_v meet_a for_o we_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o make_v delay_n 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 assuage_v the_o misery_n within_o a_o while_n after_o according_a as_o it_o be_v his_o office_n to_o put_v we_o into_o the_o grave_n and_o too_o pull_v we_o out_o again_o they_o that_o abide_v in_o condemnation_n have_v no_o will_n to_o come_v to_o god_n mercy_n and_o to_o the_o redemption_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v for_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o be_v shut_v out_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o have_v whereof_o to_o thank_v god_n hearty_o for_o somuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o be_v worthy_a too_o be_v condemn_v at_o his_o hand_n we_o be_v nevertheless_o acquit_v see_v how_o god_n allure_v we_o daily_o when_o we_o come_v too_o a_o sermon_n there_o he_o show_v we_o what_o we_o be_v and_o what_o our_o sin_n and_o vice_n be_v there_o he_o condemn_v we_o and_o daily_o pronounce_v many_o sentence_n against_o we_o insomuch_o that_o we_o can_v open_v the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o we_o shall_v find_v some_o condemnation_n there_o in_o every_o leaf_n on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o can_v so_o cover_v our_o vice_n but_o god_n will_v show_v we_o they_o behold_v thou_o have_v do_v such_o a_o sault_n behold_v thou_o haste_v commit_v such_o a_o sin_n see_v i_o pray_v you_o how_o our_o lord_n deal_v but_o have_v he_o once_o make_v we_o ashamed_a of_o our_o sin_n by_o and_o by_o after_o he_o show_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o we_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o ought_v to_o make_v we_o to_o magnify_v his_o goodness_n furthermore_o although_o he_o bring_v our_o old_a sin_n too_o remembrance_n again_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o he_o do_v we_o no_o wrong_n therein_o neither_o have_v we_o any_o cause_n too_o reply_n against_o he_o but_o we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o cause_n too_o bliss_n he_o in_o that_o we_o see_v that_o when_o he_o have_v once_o forgive_v our_o old_a sin_n he_o receive_v we_o still_o to_o mercy_n for_o ever_o after_o in_o what_o state_n do_v god_n find_v we_o when_o we_o come_v out_o of_o our_o moother_n womb_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o naughtiness_n which_o be_v in_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o perceive_v but_o yet_o have_v we_o the_o seed_n thereof_o enclose_v in_o we_o so_o as_o we_o
have_v escape_v god_n hand_n if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a for_o he_o know_v well_o it_o be_v a_o far_a terribler_n matter_n to_o have_v god_n to_o be_v his_o judge_n than_o too_o die_v a_o hundred_o time_n and_o this_o aught_o to_o touch_v we_o the_o near_a and_o to_o make_v we_o think_v better_o upon_o our_o sin_n than_o we_o have_v do_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v endure_v all_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o appear_a before_o god_n judgement_n seat_n when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o yield_v up_o of_o a_o account_n if_o we_o be_v but_o sick_a a_o little_a we_o cry_v out_o alas_o and_o if_o there_o happen_v we_o any_o mischance_n man_n shall_v hear_v we_o make_v complaint_n and_o yet_o our_o sin_n shall_v be_v bury_v all_o the_o while_n and_o never_o come_v too_o our_o thought_n or_o remembrance_n hereby_o we_o show_v how_o untoward_a we_o be_v in_o judge_v of_o thing_n therefore_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o hear_v that_o those_o which_o have_v be_v scourge_v at_o god_n hand_n have_v desire_v death_n and_o to_o be_v hide_v in_o their_o grave_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o same_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o fear_v above_o all_o other_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o god_n show_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v a_o adversary_n against_o we_o and_o when_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o the_o same_o be_v the_o great_a danger_n that_o can_v befall_v unto_o man_n we_o will_v labour_n by_o all_o mean_n to_o return_v unto_o he_o when_o our_o sin_n come_v to_o our_o mind_n alas_o will_v we_o say_v in_o what_o case_n be_v we_o for_o if_o god_n show_v himself_o our_o enemy_n how_o shall_v we_o do_v in_o what_o case_n shall_v we_o be_v then_o let_v we_o prevent_v the_o matter_n and_o behold_v we_o shall_v be_v so_o provoke_v to_o seek_v unto_o god_n for_o grace_n as_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v at_o rest_n till_o he_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o use_n whereunto_o we_o ought_v to_o apply_v this_o lesson_n and_o we_o must_v mark_v well_o how_o he_o say_v i_o will_v fayve_v that_o thou_o bid_v hide_v i_o in_o the_o grave_n and_o that_o i_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o it_o until_o suck_v time_n as_o i_o be_v cut_v off_o here_o he_o show_v wherefore_o he_o desire_v death_n namely_o because_o he_o feel_v himself_o shut_v up_o under_o god_n judgement_n and_o can_v find_v no_o way_n to_o escape_v out_o and_o hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o our_o startinghole_n shall_v serve_v we_o to_o no_o purpose_n in_o the_o end_n and_o that_o when_o we_o have_v fisk_v hither_o and_o thither_o never_o so_o much_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o we_o shall_v have_v profit_v well_o for_o one_o day_n if_o we_o can_v bear_v this_o lesson_n in_o mind_n why_o so_o for_o although_o god_n threaten_v we_o never_o so_o much_o yet_o it_o be_v see_v that_o there_o need_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o shift_v out_o of_o it_o according_a as_o every_o of_o we_o imagine_v one_o shift_n or_o other_o insomuch_o that_o our_o hypocrisy_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o god_n threaten_n pierce_v not_o our_o heart_n as_o be_v requisite_a and_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o provoke_v more_o god_n extreme_a vengeance_n than_o when_o he_o see_v that_o we_o make_v none_o account_v of_o his_o wrath_n lo_o what_o provoke_v he_o extreme_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v by_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o that_o whensoever_o god_n list_v to_o pinch_v we_o in_o good_a earnest_n there_o will_v be_v no_o escape_v for_o we_o neither_o by_o one_o mean_n nor_o other_o but_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v fast_o shut_v up_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o god_n give_v we_o any_o respite_n and_o special_o if_o he_o show_v we_o how_o we_o may_v obtain_v favour_n at_o his_o hand_n let_v we_o use_v that_o opportunity_n it_o be_v say_v immediate_o i_o will_v that_o thou_o have_v hide_v i_o in_o the_o grave_n here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v and_o be_v not_o death_n a_o token_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o curse_n be_v our_o come_n thither_o too_o any_o relief_n what_o do_v that_o boot_n we_o very_o it_o seem_v too_o be_v the_o uttermost_a extremity_n and_o that_o god_n can_v show_v any_o great_a rigour_n upon_o we_o than_o to_o put_v we_o to_o death_n but_o job_n have_v here_o conceive_v death_n amiss_o as_o i_o have_v show_v heretofore_o and_o that_o must_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n he_o be_v overpress_v with_o anguish_n because_o god_n make_v he_o to_o feel_v his_o misery_n thereupon_o he_o bethink_v himself_o how_o he_o may_v be_v rid_v of_o it_o at_o leastwise_o say_v he_o i_o shall_v wander_v in_o the_o dark_a but_o as_o long_o as_o i_o

up_o in_o his_o grave_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o man_n cease_v not_o too_o be_v under_o god_n hand_n by_o die_v but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o he_o and_o to_o feel_v he_o still_o job_n know_v that_o well_o enough_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o misery_n where_o with_o he_o be_v

say_v get_v thou_o away_o from_o i_o oh_o lord_n for_o i_o be_o a_o wretched_a sinner_n yea_o but_o we_o must_v go_v the_o contrary_a way_n to_o work_v and_o say_v lord_n come_v near_o we_o for_o without_o thy_o grace_n we_o be_v nothing_o so_o than_o it_o be_v very_o needful_a that_o god_n shall_v remember_v we_o and_o how_o to_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v we_o so_o as_o he_o uphold_v we_o

in_o the_o word_n secret_n when_o eliphas_n say_v what_o secret_a be_v there_o in_o thou_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v wretched_a creature_n feel_v thou_o not_o thy_o own_o frailty_n but_o sure_o

stir_v one_o finger_n too_o poll_v other_o man_n of_o their_o good_n or_o to_o trouble_v one_o and_o too_o devour_v another_o behold_v god_n be_v as_o it_o be_v challenge_v by_o we_o to_o make_v war_n with_o we_o because_o we_o have_v go_v about_o evil_n towards_o they_o who_o he_o have_v take_v unto_o his_o tuition_n we_o see_v that_o when_o earthly_a prince_n have_v give_v their_o protection_n to_o any_o house_n if_o a_o man_n do_v they_o any_o wrong_n it_o be_v not_o simple_a felony_n but_o high_a treason_n whereof_o they_o will_v be_v avenge_v and_o do_v we_o imagine_v that_o god_n will_v be_v less_o privilege_v than_o prince_n he_o have_v set_v his_o badge_n upon_o all_o poor_a folk_n by_o take_v they_o into_o his_o own_o charge_n and_o protection_n now_o if_o any_o man_n come_v too_o torment_v they_o and_o afflict_v they_o will_v he_o suffer_v it_o then_o as_o i_o say_v let_v we_o learn_v to_o bridle_v ourselves_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o use_v no_o outrage_n against_o our_o

ourselves_o too_o be_v mighty_a and_o strong_a before_o god_n therefore_o let_v we_o advise_o walk_v in_o modesty_n and_o acknowledge_v the_o frailty_n of_o our_o nature_n let_v we_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o let_v the_o same_o serve_v to_o hold_v we_o within_o our_o bound_n and_o know_v that_o thing_n which_o god_n permit_v we_o too_o know_v let_v we_o be_v content_v too_o walk_v plain_o on_o our_o way_n without_o run_v over_o the_o field_n like_o stray_n cattle_n for_o what_o else_o be_v that_o but_o too_o strengthen_v ourselves_o against_o god_n when_o we_o presume_v to_o do_v that_o which_o god_n have_v forbid_v we_o shall_v we_o esteem_v it_o too_o be_v but_o a_o single_a disobedience_n be_v it_o not_o more_o than_o a_o devilish_a furiousness_n so_o then_o let_v we_o

fancy_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o this_o word_n almighty_a too_o bridle_v we_o withal_o say_n how_o now_o wretched_a creature_n what_o will_v thou_o do_v whereupon_o muze_v thou_o for_o thou_o

by_o any_o mean_n escape_v for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v hold_v by_o the_o neck_n when_o he_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o extremity_n and_o distress_n god_n therefore_o show_v that_o he_o will_v deal_v after_o the_o same_o fashion_n with_o wicked_a folk_n and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o handle_v they_o with_o stroke_n of_o cudgel_n nor_o only_o give_v they_o a_o blow_n or_o twain_o but_o seize_v upon_o their_o neck_n to_o choke_v they_o and_o good_a reason_n it_o be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o we_o see_v how_o cruel_a they_o have_v be_v to_o their_o neighbour_n and_o that_o they_o have_v hold_v their_o foot_n upon_o their_o throat_n as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v god_n therefore_o must_v not_o use_v gentle_a correction_n towards_o they_o but_o his_o assail_a of_o they_o must_v be_v with_o extremity_n to_o their_o confusion_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o wicked_a do_v trust_v in_o their_o armour_n and_o artillery_n because_o they_o be_v well_o furnish_v and_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o will_v needs_o bar_v god_n from_o come_v at_o they_o it_o be_v say_v purposely_o that_o he_o will_v nip_n they_o through_o the_o thick_a of_o their_o armour_n and_o that_o

yet_o for_o all_o that_o god_n will_v compass_v his_o intent_n whereby_o we_o be_v warn_v to_o walk_v continual_o in_o fear_n for_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v afraid_a of_o god_n punish_n according_a as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o dreadful_a thing_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o live_a god_n let_v we_o not_o surmise_v that_o we_o have_v too_o do_v with_o a_o

it_o may_v avail_v we_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o our_o war_n be_v with_o god_n can_v we_o serve_v our_o turn_n against_o he_o with_o that_o which_o he_o have_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o with_o that_o which_o he_o dispose_v at_o his_o pleasure_n when_o we_o shall_v purpose_v to_o march_v on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o will_v make_v we_o turn_v head_n another_o way_n if_o he_o think_v good_a you_o

must_v in_o the_o end_n be_v bereave_v of_o all_o understanding_n for_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o keep_v our_o allegiance_n unto_o god_n when_o he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o right_a mind_n clear_a

thorough_o to_o his_o doctrine_n you_o see_v they_o what_o we_o have_v to_o do_v when_o we_o see_v so_o many_o poor_a blind_a soul_n wander_v over_o the_o field_n and_o not_o able_a to_o discern_v

that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v forepossess_v by_o naughty_a affection_n and_o snarl_a in_o many_o error_n and_o corruption_n you_o see_v he_o be_v like_o a_o desperate_a person_n &_o there_o be_v no_o

yet_o must_v god_n be_v fain_o to_o work_v in_o he_o or_o else_o he_o can_v never_o come_v to_o good_a and_o why_o for_o our_o nature_n be_v forward_o unto_o evil_n and_o altogether_o give_v unto_o

to_o edify_v we_o and_o to_o offer_v we_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o convenient_a for_o we_o you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o have_v need_v to_o beware_v of_o despise_v that_o which_o be_v offer_v

storm_a and_o by_o his_o stomack_v special_o if_o he_o belike_o out_o some_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n lo_o i_o say_v how_o man_n will_v fain_o wreak_v themselves_o when_o god_n hold_v they_o in_o

a_o man_n can_v submit_v himself_o too_o god_n in_o his_o adversity_n but_o sharpen_v himself_o still_o more_o and_o more_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v it_o not_o all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o be_v stark_o mad_a be_v it_o not_o all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o will_v stand_v against_o god_n i_o say_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o without_o passion_n when_o god_n send_v we_o any_o adversity_n but_o if_o our_o affection_n be_v unbridled_a and_o unruly_a and_o serve_v to_o kindle_v we_o and_o to_o spur_v we_o forward_o against_o god_n so_o as_o we_o be_v full_a of_o bitterness_n then_o must_v it_o needs_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v possess_v with_o fury_n as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o see_v we_o come_v to_o justle_v after_o that_o sort_n against_o god_n and_o dare_v the_o creature_n do_v so_o if_o he_o be_v not_o bereave_v of_o his_o right_a wit_n and_o reason_n no_o sure_o dare_v he_o not_o then_o see_v you_o a_o text_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o for_o although_o bildad_n do_v misapply_v it_o to_o the_o person_n of_o job_n yet_o be_v the_o sentence_n true_a in_o itself_o and_o aught_o to_o serve_v our_o turn_n in_o asmuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o impatiency_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o madness_n in_o a_o man_n and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o impatiency_n it_o be_v not_o simple_o a_o grief_n conceive_v of_o the_o mislike_v of_o our_o adversity_n when_o we_o be_v weary_a of_o they_o but_o it_o be_v a_o excessive_a heartburning_n or_o stomake_v against_o they_o when_o we_o can_v submit_v ourselves_o simple_o unto_o god_n too_o dispose_v of_o we_o at_o his_o pleasure_n therefore_o if_o our_o passion_n be_v so_o unruly_a as_o we_o can_v not_o keep_v any_o measure_n in_o our_o adversity_n then_o do_v impatiency_n overmaster_n we_o and_o if_o we_o have_v no_o hold_n nor_o stay_v of_o ourselves_o we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v no_o better_a than_o fantic_a folk_n against_o god_n yea_o &_o utter_o out_o of_o our_o wit_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o will_v not_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v so_o but_o for_o so_o much_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v avouch_v it_o will_v we_o have_v a_o more_o competent_a judge_n and_o if_o we_o look_v well_o into_o ourselves_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o text_n which_o very_a experience_n show_v not_o to_o be_v too_o too_o true_a so_o then_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o which_o have_v the_o power_n to_o bridle_v his_o affection_n and_o to_o hold_v they_o short_a have_v get_v great_a wisdom_n and_o undoubted_o to_o the_o self_n same_o purpose_n also_o s._n james_n say_v that_o if_o any_o man_n want_v wisdom_n let_v he_o ask_v it_o of_o god_n and_o why_o for_o he_o have_v speak_v afore_o of_o patience_n my_o friend_n say_v he_o whensoever_o god_n afflict_v you_o &_o that_o you_o light_n into_o temptation_n assure_v yourselves_o it_o be_v for_o your_o profit_n &_o welfare_n yet_o follow_v it_o not_o but_o that_o the_o same_o may_v seem_v strange_a and_o few_o man_n shall_v agree_v thereunto_o but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v need_n of_o wisdom_n let_v he_o resort_v unto_o god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n mind_n will_v never_o think_v that_o all_o temptation_n and_o adversity_n be_v benefit_n of_o god_n procurement_n towards_o we_o &_o the_o fault_n be_v because_o we_o be_v misadvise_a &_o know_v not_o what_o be_v expedient_a for_o we_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o want_v wisdom_n special_o when_o our_o passion_n overmaster_v we_o &_o trouble_v our_o mind_n let_v we_o repair_v unto_o god_n for_o he_o can_v well_o skill_n how_o to_o supply_v our_o want_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o sentence_n namely_o that_o we_o must_v apply_v our_o endeavour_n to_o bridle_v our_o affection_n that_o we_o be_v not_o in_o to_o great_a a_o choler_n when_o god_n afflict_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o take_v it_o patient_o god_n will_v turn_v all_o to_o our_o

the_o even_o such_o as_o bildad_n show_v here_o that_o be_v

rather_o he_o will_v that_o we_o shall_v rue_v they_o again_o job_n blame_v the_o cruelty_n of_o his_o friend_n say_v that_o they_o can_v be_v satisfy_v with_o his_o flesh_n wherefore_o say_v he_o can_v you_o not_o satisfy_v yourselves_o with_o my_o flesh_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o take_v be_v a_o similitude_n for_o when_o we_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v so_o flesh_v upon_o our_o neighbour_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o will_v eat_v they_o alive_a and_o we_o also_o do_v often_o use_v such_o manner_n of_o speech_n in_o our_o common_a talk_n so_o then_o like_a as_o a_o man_n take_v pleasure_n at_o his_o repast_n in_o eat_v and_o drink_v so_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o which_o be_v cruel_a against_o their_o neighbour_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o feed_v upon_o they_o and_o to_o eat_v they_o up_o or_o to_o swallow_v they_o quick_a you_o see_v then_o why_o job_n say_v why_o do_v you_o not_o satisfy_v yourselves_o with_o my_o

be_v to_o great_a a_o cruelty_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o will_v eat_v they_o up_o therefore_o this_o circumstance_n be_v too_o be_v note_v well_o when_o job_n say_v that_o at_o leastwise_o

if_o we_o have_v hate_v a_o man_n and_o wish_v his_o harm_n and_o seek_v all_o mean_n to_o be_v revenge_v of_o he_o yet_o if_o he_o happen_v to_o fall_v into_o extreme_a misery_n behold_v it_o be_v a_o natural_a thing_n for_o our_o anger_n to_o be_v appease_v yet_o say_v i_o not_o that_o such_o a_o affection_n ought_v to_o be_v count_v a_o virtue_n for_o although_o the_o heathen_a man_n be_v

to_o see_v he_o have_v enough_o already_o thus_o than_o the_o fire_n do_v natural_o quench_v of_o itself_o if_o we_o see_v a_o man_n in_o adversity_n though_o we_o be_v never_o so_o much_o move_v

hypocrisy_n engender_v a_o unshamefastness_n for_o if_o i_o know_v not_o god_n too_o be_v my_o judge_n it_o will_v suffice_v i_o that_o man_n clap_v their_o hand_n at_o i_o and_o have_v i_o in_o

good_a whereas_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v take_v a_o beastly_a liberty_n which_o will_v draw_v we_o to_o evil_a and_o again_o god_n which_o give_v we_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n know_v very_o well_o what_o be_v good_a for_o we_o and_o what_o be_v necessary_a to_o stay_v we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o none_o of_o we_o shall_v wander_v in_o his_o own_o foolish_a fantasy_n but_o follow_v god_n plain_a

we_o draw_v near_o unto_o our_o god_n how_o shall_v we_o draw_v near_o unto_o he_o first_o let_v we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o hide_v from_o he_o that_o all_o thing_n must_v come_v to_o

be_v that_o god_n draw_v near_o unto_o we_o and_o we_o unto_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v this_o be_v do_v and_o by_o what_o mean_n it_o be_v do_v when_o he_o on_o his_o part_n come_v down_o to_o we_o

receive_v god_n and_o do_v he_o homage_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v reign_v over_o we_o forasmuch_o then_o as_o god_n be_v present_a with_o we_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o word_n we_o see_v that_o there_o can_v no_o great_a misfortune_n happen_v unto_o we_o than_o when_o god_n suffer_v we_o to_o wander_v in_o our_o own_o fantasy_n without_o his_o guide_n &_o when_o we_o have_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n by_o the_o which_o he_o draw_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o contrariwise_o the_o great_a &_o most_o inestimable_a treasure_n that_o we_o have_v be_v that_o god_n gover_o

neck_n under_o god_n yoke_n do_v as_o much_o as_o thrust_v he_o far_o from_o they_o truth_n it_o be_v that_o they_o think_v themselves_o great_o injure_v when_o man_n call_v they_o mortal_a enemy_n to_o god_n &_o say_v that_o they_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o thrust_v he_o out_o of_o all_o authority_n that_o they_o may_v more_o easy_o tread_v he_o under_o foot_n oh_o say_v they_o we_o

let_v we_o learn_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o whensoever_o god_n send_v his_o word_n amongst_o we_o let_v we_o tremble_v at_o it_o &_o thereby_o declare_v that_o we_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o be_v present_a with_o our_o god_n always_o to_o behold_v he_o and_o to_o walk_v as_o they_o that_o know_v very_o well_o that_o we_o must_v make_v a_o account_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n before_o he_o and_o that_o we_o can_v not_o escape_v his_o hand_n and_o moreover_o let_v we_o long_o for_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n upon_o god_n but_o we_o must_v desire_v to_o be_v always_o in_o his_o sight_n &_o under_o his_o guide_n for_o sometime_o the_o most_o wicked_a will_v have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o galley_n slave_n do_v who_o fall_v to_o row_v when_o they_o see_v themselves_o fast_a chain_v and_o sure_o beat_v then_o they_o must_v needs_o do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v of_o force_n and_o constraint_n so_o the_o wicked_a when_o god_n speak_v do_v know_v that_o he_o be_v present_a there_o but_o if_o it_o lay_v in_o they_o they_o will_v destroy_v his_o godhead_n which_o be_v

say_v unto_o the_o mountain_n cover_v we_o you_o see_v how_o the_o wicked_a do_v always_o flee_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v terrible_a unto_o they_o now_o on_o our_o

that_o we_o may_v so_o do_v let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v and_o taste_v the_o infinite_a goodness_n which_o be_v in_o he_o that_o through_o his_o enlighten_v of_o we_o by_o his_o

i_o pray_v you_o how_o shall_v we_o comprehend_v what_o god_n be_v so_o they_o the_o holy_a scripture_n mock_v at_o such_o pride_n as_o be_v in_o man_n when_o they_o will_v inquire_v beyond_o their_o

our_o sense_n be_v too_o weak_a and_o for_o this_o cause_n saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o place_n that_o i_o have_v allege_v that_o man_n do_v vanish_v away_o in_o their_o own_o imagination_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o say_v that_o they_o vanish_v but_o that_o after_o man_n have_v wander_v this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n they_o fade_v away_o as_o smoke_v even_o at_o this_o point_n be_v we_o but_o god_n on_o his_o behalf_n have_v so_o clear_a a_o sight_n that_o he_o can_v pass_v through_o all_o the_o cloud_n of_o the_o world_n so_o as_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o dark_a unto_o he_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o dwell_v in_o unapproachable_a light_n this_o say_n be_v very_o notable_a god_n then_o can_v be_v know_v of_o we_o and_o why_o see_v that_o there_o be_v

who_o vouchsafe_v too_o have_v care_n of_o so_o vile_a and_o despise_v thing_n which_o we_o also_o set_v so_o little_a store_n by_o furthermore_o thereby_o we_o may_v also_o conclude_v what_o love_n he_o bear_v we_o according_a to_o the_o reason_n &_o proof_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n how_o much_o more_o worth_a be_v you_o than_o little_a sparrow_n now_o if_o they_o be_v nourish_v

all_o thing_n to_o your_o salvation_n or_o that_o any_o thing_n happen_v unto_o you_o without_o his_o good_a will_n thus_o must_v we_o honour_v god_n not_o bring_v he_o in_o subjection_n to_o our_o

man_n ordinary_a live_n or_o provision_n because_o it_o be_v a_o parcel_n of_o the_o law_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v lay_v for_o his_o live_n for_o he_o must_v not_o eat_v so_o much_o as_o to_o burst_v

also_o mad_a of_o it_o so_o as_o there_o be_v neither_o measure_n nor_o stay_v in_o they_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o wot_v not_o to_o what_o end_n they_o live_v nor_o why_o they_o

our_o desire_v to_o live_v in_o this_o world_n must_v be_v always_o to_o serve_v our_o god_n and_o too_o dedicate_v ourselves_o to_o his_o glory_n and_o to_o be_v consirm_v more_o and_o more_o in_o

will_v follow_v immediate_o that_o we_o shall_v prefer_v god_n doctrine_n which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a food_n of_o our_o soul_n before_o all_o the_o foode_n that_o we_o can_v wish_v for_o our_o

what_o it_o be_v too_o fear_v god_n as_o have_v be_v say_v already_o till_o he_o drive_v we_o too_o it_o by_o force_n you_o see_v then_o that_o man_n become_v stout_a like_o murderer_n until_o god_n

against_o that_o way_n which_o god_n will_v have_v they_o to_o go_v let_v we_o learn_v thereby_o that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o job_n say_v here_o that_o he_o be_v afraid_a because_o

how_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v know_v whither_o we_o have_v profit_v either_o by_o sermon_n or_o by_o read_v of_o god_n word_n we_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o this_o namely_o if_o our_o life_n yield_v

intend_v too_o give_v a_o good_a and_o sure_a mark_n too_o discern_v the_o faithful_a from_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n it_o say_v let_v they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n praise_v he_o you_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n enter_v into_o his_o house_n let_v they_o that_o fear_n god_n be_v glad_a and_o rejoice_v let_v man_n that_o fear_v god_n rest_v bold_o upon_o he_o you_o that_o fear_v god_n

sermon_n or_o have_v the_o bible_n in_o our_o hand_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o know_v that_o god_n mean_v not_o too_o puff_n we_o up_o with_o vain_a presumption_n of_o knowledge_n nor_o to_o scratch_v our_o ear_n when_o they_o itch_v nor_o yet_o to_o teach_v we_o nice_a point_n but_o to_o edify_v we_o in_o his_o fear_n that_o we_o may_v honour_n and_o serve_v he_o â–ª_o if_o we_o shoot_v at_o this_o mark_n then_o shall_v we_o not_o rove_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v for_o whereof_o come_v this_o vice_n that_o man_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o

the_o fear_n of_o god_n behind_o our_o back_n bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v give_v we_o to_o a_o far_a other_o use_n now_o see_v that_o man_n do_v so_o abuse_v godsword_n and_o every_o man_n unhallow_v it_o ungracious_o so_o much_o the_o more_o behoove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o text_n where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v we_o the_o manner_n of_o examination_n whereby_o to_o try_v who_o be_v of_o good_a &_o right_a understanding_n to_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o we_o must_v know_v god_n as_o he_o be_v for_o we_o shall_v never_o fear_v he_o aright_o until_o that_o like_a as_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o we_o so_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o god_n our_o master_n our_o saviour_n and_o our_o father_n and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o solomon_n in_o the_o text_n that_o we_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o his_o proverb_n say_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o holy_a thing_n be_v the_o true_a understanding_n after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n he_o set_v down_o the_o knowledge_n of_o holy_a thing_n see_v then_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v knit_v these_o two_o thing_n together_o in_o unseparable_a bond_n it_o behoove_v we_o also_o to_o knit_v they_o together_o hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n will_v never_o be_v in_o we_o till_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o which_o be_v that_o we_o know_v god_n mercy_n as_o it_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n namely_o that_o we_o be_v

have_v need_n of_o furtherance_n yea_o and_o though_o we_o have_v all_o the_o furtherance_n that_o can_v be_v wish_v yet_o be_v it_o apparent_a that_o there_o be_v still_o default_n in_o we_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o reject_v all_o the_o benefit_n that_o god_n offer_v we_o but_o because_o we_o be_v woise_n than_o beast_n so_o then_o we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o if_o a_o man_n know_v the_o end_n of_o his_o creation_n and_o why_o he_o live_v in_o this_o world_n he_o will_v always_o be_v move_v to_o profit_v in_o knowledge_n as_o to_o set_v his_o mind_n thereupon_o and_o he_o will_v never_o refuse_v the_o mean_n when_o they_o be_v offer_v but_o will_v think_v with_o himself_o behold_v god_n intend_v to_o teach_v i_o &_o therefore_o it_o behove_v i_o to_o yield_v myself_o willing_a to_o learn_v and_o to_o give_v ear_n to_o his_o doctrine_n which_o he_o set_v afore_o i_o as_o which_o be_v good_a and_o available_a for_o my_o salvation_n lo_o what_o desire_v aught_o to_o be_v in_o we_o but_o now_o let_v we_o look_v upon_o our_o own_o retchlessness_n for_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a unto_o we_o as_o to_o give_v we_o his_o word_n and_o not_o only_o send_v we_o some_o man_n that_o have_v a_o good_a wit_n and_o understanding_n but_o also_o be_v willing_a too_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o master_n himself_o and_o although_o he_o come_v not_o down_o from_o

which_o speak_v there_o then_o see_v that_o god_n open_v his_o holy_a mouth_n to_o teach_v we_o although_o he_o use_v mortal_a man_n as_o his_o instrument_n i_o pray_v you_o be_v not_o we_o too_o

that_o he_o reply_n not_o against_o it_o by_o his_o life_n and_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v a_o little_a if_o a_o man_n may_v ever_o find_v this_o virtue_n in_o the_o world_n behold_v job_n speak_v

it_o seem_v to_o i_o and_o man_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o allege_v their_o weening_n before_o god_n and_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a article_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o papist_n at_o this_o day_n that_o in_o their_o opinion_n god_n ought_v too_o set_v great_a store_n by_o they_o for_o this_o their_o overdivelish_a pride_n in_o that_o they_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o hold_v themselves_o

no_o rest_n that_o his_o pulse_n do_v beat_v continual_o and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o relief_n at_o all_o like_v as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o continual_a ague_n or_o that_o be_v so_o torment_v as_o he_o have_v no_o leisure_n to_o take_v his_o breath_n job_n then_o by_o such_o complaint_n signify_v that_o he_o be_v not_o only_o mock_v as_o diverse_a be_v which_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o

the_o anguish_n that_o we_o can_v feel_v when_o either_o our_o lord_n god_n or_o man_n do_v set_v themselves_o against_o we_o yea_o and_o that_o word_n import_v much_o more_o than_o heaviness_n or_o

peradventure_o also_o a_o other_o on_o the_o other_o side_n and_o yet_o another_o to_o that_o
therefore_o we_o must_v not_o enclose_v god_n mighty_a power_n within_o our_o imagination_n &_o understanding_n like_a as_o god_n goodness_n be_v endless_a and_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n so_o also_o be_v his_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o his_o power_n now_o if_o we_o will_v comprehend_v this_o mightiness_n and_o power_n i_o pray_v you_o be_v we_o able_a too_o enclose_v it_o in_o our_o brain_n it_o be_v impossible_a so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o save_v we_o he_o do_v it_o not_o after_o the_o common_a fashion_n but_o work_v by_o miracle_n towards_o we_o insomuch_o that_o he_o will_v raise_v we_o even_o from_o death_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o challenge_v the_o office_n of_o send_v

when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o our_o god_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v taste_v the_o nearness_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v make_v they_o feel_v the_o thing_n by_o

reign_v over_o we_o and_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o overwhelm_v so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n of_o life_n our_o lord_n can_v well_o quicken_v we_o yea_o even_o after_o a_o wonderful_a fashion_n unknown_a unto_o we_o and_o which_o man_n can_v perceive_v until_o it_o be_v show_v by_o effect_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n also_o why_o ezechiell_n have_v this_o vision_n give_v he_o

by_o the_o behold_n of_o any_o thing_n for_o thereupon_o some_o one_o toy_n or_o other_o will_v come_v in_o his_o head_n or_o else_o although_o he_o see_v nothing_o yet_o notwithstanding_o his_o

for_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o evil_a but_o the_o want_n of_o occasion_n and_o opportunity_n there_o you_o see_v the_o third_o degree_n and_o then_o be_v the_o sin_n full_o shape_v in_o we_o

neither_o man_n nor_o woman_n but_o he_o find_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o and_o have_v experience_n of_o it_o from_o day_n to_o day_n as_o for_o example_n when_o we_o be_v afflict_v it_o

for_o like_v there_o need_v no_o rhetoric_n to_o persuade_v we_o too_o do_v harm_n to_o our_o enemy_n for_o there_o be_v not_o that_o vain_a nor_o sinew_n in_o we_o which_o be_v not_o forward_a

that_o we_o be_v take_v for_o righteous_a and_o god_n find_v no_o more_o fault_n with_o we_o when_o he_o accept_v we_o after_o that_o sort_n for_o his_o son_n sake_n this_o be_v the_o ryghtuhusnesse_n

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

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 not_o able_a to_o behold_v it_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v now_o and_o then_o be_v dismay_v and_o seek_v god_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o find_v he_o not_o that_o he_o have_v forget_v they_o or_o reject_v they_o but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o as_o then_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o love_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o eliu_n say_v express_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o when_o he_o send_v we_o witness_v of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o word_n not_o that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o before_o but_o because_o we_o be_v then_o sure_a of_o it_o by_o experience_n and_o do_v as_o it_o be_v take_v possession_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o be_v unknown_a unto_o we_o for_o a_o time_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o office_n of_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o forgive_v sin_n and_o it_o be_v a_o notable_a point_n for_o without_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o forlese_v and_o past_a recovery_n there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a to_o give_v we_o hope_v of_o salvation_n than_o by_o assure_v we_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v afore_o god_n and_o we_o quite_o and_o clean_o discharge_v for_o as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o be_v the_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o so_o long_o as_o our_o sin_n be_v impute_v unto_o we_o god_n must_v needs_o

have_v good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n too_o preach_v the_o gospel_n unto_o we_o for_o the_o end_n whereat_o god_n am_z be_v atonement_n or_o reconciliation_n with_o we_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v where_o he_o express_v that_o the_o property_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v a_o message_n of_o atonement_n between_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n who_o know_v no_o sin_n but_o be_v the_o unspotted_a lamb_n do_v put_v himself_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o

that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o for_o wherein_o consist_v all_o our_o welfare_n even_o in_o that_o we_o may_v bold_o come_v unto_o god_n and_o have_v leave_v to_o rest_v as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o

as_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n for_o undoubted_o prayer_n be_v the_o thing_n whereby_o we_o come_v unto_o god_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o walk_v here_o by_o faith_n and_o god_n be_v absent_a

join_v unto_o he_o you_o see_v then_o that_o here_o be_v a_o band_n of_o familiarity_n between_o god_n and_o man_n in_o this_o liberty_n which_o he_o give_v we_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o but_o yet_o

all_o one_o as_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o so_o long_o as_o man_n be_v accuse_v in_o their_o own_o conscience_n they_o can_v think_v upon_o god_n but_o with_o all_o terror_n so_o as_o they_o can_v

and_o out_o of_o doubt_n we_o see_v that_o so_o long_o be_v sinner_n be_v asleep_a in_o their_o evil_n they_o desire_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o to_o forget_v god_n and_o if_o any_o mention_n 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

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

and_o how_o show_v he_o it_o for_o he_o only_o say_v he_o govern_v the_o world_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o when_o all_o be_v well_o consider_v it_o be_v a_o

notwithstanding_o he_o take_v to_o much_o liberty_n and_o wander_v beastly_a in_o his_o word_n what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o we_o then_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n too_o prevent_v this_o

so_o far_o off_o from_o reach_v out_o our_o knowledge_n a_o far_o that_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v forepossess_v with_o our_o own_o fond_a and_o trifle_a imagination_n and_o with_o our_o wicked_a lust_n which_o hold_v we_o as_o it_o be_v lock_v and_o bow_v down_o so_o as_o we_o can_v lift_v up_o our_o head_n unto_o heaven_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o see_v so_o slender_a profit_v and_o that_o such_o as_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o faithful_a know_v not_o what_o god_n be_v neither_o do_v desire_v too_o know_v therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v by_o the_o example_n of_o eliu_n to_o lift_v up_o our_o knowledge_n and_o to_o reach_v it_o out_o a_o far_o when_o there_o be_v any_o talk_n of_o god_n and_o let_v we_o learn_v also_o to_o do_v he_o the_o honour_n too_o dispose_v ourselves_o too_o look_v reverent_o unto_o he_o for_o that_o also_o be_v a_o accomplish_n of_o this_o say_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o god_n be_v near_o unto_o the_o lowly_a and_o show_v himself_o too_o such_o as_o distrust_v in_o themselves_o without_o challenge_v to_o they_o any_o drop_n of_o goodness_n as_o of_o themselves_o and_o final_o as_o often_o as_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n let_v we_o not_o give_v our_o own_o brain_n the_o bridle_n but_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o reach_v out_o our_o knowledge_n further_o eliu_n add_v that_o he_o will_v prove_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a which_o make_v he_o here_o we_o see_v whereunto_o all_o our_o talk_n ought_v to_o tend_v when_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n namely_o to_o the_o maintain_v of_o his_o glory_n and_o what_o doctrine_n soever_o be_v refer_v to_o that_o end_n we_o must_v hold_v it_o for_o good_a and_o holy_a like_v as_o when_o man_n reason_n and_o dispute_v too_o diminish_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o frowardness_n how_o fair_a colour_n soever_o they_o pretend_v so_o then_o whensoever_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n to_o prove_v he_o righteous_a that_o be_v to_o say_v too_o yield_v he_o his_o duty_n so_o as_o he_o may_v be_v magnify_v at_o our_o hand_n and_o we_o acknowledge_v he_o such_o as_o he_o will_v be_v know_v to_o be_v that_o all_o mouth_n may_v be_v shut_v and_o have_v no_o occasion_n too_o mislike_v of_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o talk_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v concern_v our_o god_n must_v be_v to_o sanctify_v his_o name_n according_a also_o we_o we_o desire_v in_o the_o prayer_n that_o we_o use_v every_o day_n and_o eliu_n add_v immediate_o that_o his_o word_n shall_v be_v void_a of_o untruth_n and_o that_o he_o will_v show_v unto_o job_n that_o his_o knowledge_n be_v perfect_a here_o he_o protest_v that_o he_o will_v not_o mingle_v any_o thing_n with_o the_o good_a

god_n and_o of_o his_o work_n and_o word_n there_o must_v not_o be_v any_o mingle_n with_o it_o but_o pureness_n must_v be_v keep_v so_o as_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o speak_v be_v whole_a and_o sound_a for_o as_o for_o he_o that_o mingle_v good_a matter_n and_o evil_a matter_n together_o what_o do_v he_o else_o but_o bring_v good_a meat_n and_o well_o season_v to_o the_o taste_n which_o yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v poison_v even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o all_o such_o as_o make_v a_o fair_a show_n and_o do_v indeed_o allege_v good_a and_o true_a say_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o do_v interlace_n they_o with_o lie_n and_o error_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o then_o that_o he_o which_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o teacher_n must_v not_o only_o regard_v to_o have_v good_a say_n but_o special_o endeavour_n too_o have_v this_o simplicity_n that_o he_o neither_o add_v nor_o diminish_v any_o thing_n from_o god_n pure_a doctrine_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v a_o well_o rule_v faith_n we_o must_v go_v by_o that_o line_n and_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o in_o teach_v we_o use_v nothing_o too_o guide_v we_o but_o the_o pure_a will_n of_o god_n and_o that_o all_o our_o word_n be_v refer_v and_o conformable_a thereunto_o but_o if_o we_o handle_v thing_n otherwise_o and_o deal_v not_o with_o such_o soundness_n and_o uprightness_n as_o god_n require_v who_o as_o we_o say_v will_v have_v his_o word_n preach_v in_o singleness_n i_o say_v if_o we_o have_v not_o that_o mind_n with_o we_o we_o shall_v perceive_v in_o the_o end_n that_o we_o have_v be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n here_o than_o we_o be_v teach_v too_o receive_v the_o pure_a and_o holy_a doctrine_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o too_o
good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o that_o his_o correct_v of_o we_o and_o our_o feel_n of_o his_o stripe_n may_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a but_o that_o we_o may_v

19_o he_o will_v not_o regard_v thy_o greatness_n nor_o all_o thy_o provision_n nor_o all_o thy_o force_n we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o man_n gain_v nothing_o by_o strive_v against_o god_n but_o rather_o impair_v their_o case_n for_o their_o hardheartedness_n increase_v god_n vengeance_n and_o kindle_v the_o fire_n of_o it_o more_o and_o more_o and_o now_o moreover_o it_o be_v say_v for_o a_o conclusion_n that_o such_o as_o will_v needs_o play_v the_o rebel_n after_o that_o manner_n against_o god_n shall_v die_v in_o the_o flower_n of_o their_o youth_n and_o with_o whoremonger_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v in_o our_o common_a language_n look_v upon_o yonder_o vile_a ribald_a he_o will_v be_v hang_v even_o so_o be_v it_o say_v that_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n shall_v die_v with_o all_o their_o strength_n for_o when_o they_o see_v themselves_o at_o their_o ease_n they_o be_v full_a of_o fierceness_n &_o pride_n but_o yet_o shall_v god_n consume_v they_o well_o enough_o and_o eliu_n do_v new_a again_o set_v down_o that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v afore_o namely_o that_o god_n open_v the_o ear_n of_o those_o who_o he_o afflict_v and_o not_o without_o cause_n be_v this_o repeat_a forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o make_v man_n believe_v it_o &_o yet_o not_o withstand_v we_o may_v well_o consider_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v more_o than_o necessary_a for_o we_o for_o affliction_n be_v hard_a &_o cumbersome_a to_o we_o in_o so_o much_o that_o we_o chafe_v &_o fret_v and_o can_v abide_v god_n hand_n but_o rather_o think_v he_o do_v we_o wrong_n because_o we_o know_v not_o the_o fruit_n that_o come_v of_o it_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v tell_v we_o to_o oft_o that_o god_n open_v man_n ear_n when_o he_o afflict_v they_o and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v also_o that_o god_n set_v they_o aside_o or_o shole_v they_o out_o in_o affliction_n true_a it_o be_v that_o some_o translate_v it_o deliver_v according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v take_v in_o that_o sense_n howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v here_o that_o god_n take_v they_o out_o of_o their_o affliction_n but_o it_o be_v set_v down_o in_o or_o by_o affliction_n so_o than_o it_o be_v a_o similitude_n that_o eliu_n use_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n shole_v out_o and_o gather_v to_o himself_o those_o who_o he_o chastize_v because_o that_o when_o man_n be_v in_o prosperity_n they_o wander_v and_o dote_v in_o their_o own_o imagination_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o god_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o and_o make_v they_o to_o feel_v his_o rigour_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v take_v they_o aside_o to_o himself_o to_o show_v they_o their_o fault_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o eliu_n mean_v to_o say_v and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o open_n of_o man_n ear_n by_o affliction_n be_v because_o that_o while_o we_o live_v in_o ease_n and_o pleasure_n our_o eye_n be_v blindfold_a according_a as_o the_o psalm_n say_v that_o when_o man_n be_v in_o prosperity_n their_o eye_n stroute_v with_o fatness_n so_o as_o they_o see_v not_o a_o whit_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v utter_o sot_v in_o their_o sin_n also_o we_o have_v our_o ear_n stop_v in_o prosperity_n and_o can_v hear_v a_o whit_n and_o therefore_o our_o lord_n have_v need_v to_o open_v they_o with_o affliction_n true_o this_o doctrine_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v by_o common_a experience_n and_o we_o need_v not_o to_o seek_v any_o exposition_n of_o it_o as_o of_o a_o dark_a thing_n for_o we_o see_v that_o such_o as_o be_v not_o pinch_v with_o any_o adversity_n can_v away_o with_o any_o correction_n assoon_o as_o they_o be_v but_o speak_v too_o they_o be_v in_o a_o chafe_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v see_v not_o only_o in_o every_o several_a person_n but_o also_o in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o a_o realm_n so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v no_o war_n pestilence_n nor_o famine_n we_o see_v that_o if_o man_n be_v rebuke_v for_o their_o sin_n they_o murmur_v at_o it_o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o resistance_n with_o tooth_n and_o nail_n and_o why_o so_o as_o i_o have_v say_v it_o be_v because_o man_n ear_n be_v stop_v with_o fatness_n and_o can_v abide_v that_o god_n shall_v in_o any_o wise_a tell_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n or_o else_o if_o man_n be_v not_o so_o proud_a as_o to_o strive_v against_o admonishment_n yet_o shall_v it_o little_a avail_n to_o speak_v to_o they_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o find_v fault_n with_o they_o they_o pass_v not_o for_o it_o why_o so_o for_o every_o man_n be_v full_a fraught_n aforehand_o with_o his_o own_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n to_o be_v short_a we_o be_v never_o touch_v till_o god_n hand_n nip_v we_o by_o chastyze_a we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o so_o many_o calamity_n happen_v to_o the_o world_n for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o man_n give_v no_o ear_n unto_o god_n ne_o make_v any_o account_n of_o his_o word_n long_o than_o he_o use_v force_n of_o hand_n against_o they_o when_o he_o see_v they_o so_o puff_v up_o with_o pride_n and_o that_o he_o can_v otherwise_o wield_v they_o he_o tame_v and_o subdue_v folk_n by_o main_n force_n and_o yet_o the_o same_o be_v not_o enough_o at_o all_o time_n for_o how_o many_o be_v there_o to_o be_v see_v which_o resist_v god_n hand_n of_o wilful_a stubbornness_n and_o continue_v always_o hard-hearted_a so_o as_o they_o grow_v worse_a &_o worse_a when_o they_o feel_v the_o stripe_n and_o this_o be_v too_o common_a a_o thing_n but_o in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v precise_o speak_v of_o those_o to_o who_o god_n intend_v too_o show_v favour_n for_o in_o afflict_a man_n he_o am_z at_o two_o end_n as_o for_o the_o reprobate_n he_o purpose_v to_o make_v they_o

there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v but_o of_o such_o as_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v to_o perish_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n do_v he_o chastise_v they_o now_o if_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o god_n

moreover_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o hear_v it_o thunder_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sound_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o god._n for_o our_o wit_n must_v not_o frisk_v and_o wanze_v away_o in_o the_o air_n as_o though_o the_o thunder_n be_v engender_v there_o without_o the_o commandment_n of_o a_o superior_a master_n then_o let_v we_o come_v unto_o god_n and_o

have_v to_o remember_v but_o if_o we_o can_v perceive_v that_o god_n move_v man_n heart_n by_o lightning_n rain_n and_o tempest_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v doublefolde_v guilty_a before_o he_o when_o we_o be_v familiar_o teach_v not_o by_o a_o confuse_a noise_n but_o by_o his_o word_n so_o as_o he_o offer_v we_o a_o doctrine_n that_o be_v certain_a and_o wherein_o

strike_v we_o in_o fear_n but_o comfort_n we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o soever_o god_n word_n be_v preach_v the_o end_n whereto_o it_o tend_v be_v too_o make_v we_o feel_v our_o want_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n word_n be_v term_v a_o two_o edge_a sword_n to_o examine_v man_n and_o to_o search_v all_o their_o thought_n and_o affection_n and_o for_o the_o same_o

word_n shall_v never_o prevail_v in_o we_o we_o must_v renounce_v ourselves_o and_o whatsoever_o be_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n must_v be_v beat_v down_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n

we_o to_o mark_v well_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o this_o verse_n where_o on_o the_o one_o side_n eliu_n protest_v that_o all_o god_n work_n be_v miracle_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o say_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o stay_v upon_o they_o namely_o because_o our_o wit_n be_v to_o feeble_a to_o have_v any_o true_a knowledge_n of_o they_o out_o of_o hand_n therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o

wit_n to_o the_o consider_v of_o his_o work_n but_o we_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o the_o chief_a point_n you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o have_v three_o point_n to_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o one_o

be_v rude_a and_o gross_a witted_a their_o look_v upon_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n set_v afore_o they_o must_v not_o be_v with_o cast_v their_o eye_n aside_o at_o they_o with_o a_o glance_n and_o

must_v not_o trust_v in_o their_o own_o reason_n nor_o think_v themselves_o to_o have_v skill_n enough_o to_o judge_v of_o they_o but_o consider_v how_o it_o belong_v to_o god_n to_o show_v we_o by_o his_o word_n what_o we_o have_v to_o conceive_v and_o that_o that_o be_v the_o point_n whereat_o we_o must_v begin_v and_o that_o till_o we_o have_v be_v at_o god_n school_n we_o shall_v have_v but_o a_o dim_a eyesight_n so_o as_o his_o work_n shall_v pass_v away_o before_o we_o and_o we_o not_o perceive_v they_o as_o be_v requisite_a for_o we_o to_o do_v and_o to_o be_v short_a we_o shall_v have_v no_o discretion_n at_o all_o until_o god_n have_v make_v we_o wise_a yet_o these_o thing_n need_v not_o so_o great_o to_o be_v lay_v forth_o at_o length_n as_o to_o be_v well_o weigh_v of_o every_o of_o we_o and_o therefore_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o come_v to_o the_o consider_v of_o god_n work_n let_v we_o lift_v up_o our_o wit_n aloft_o to_o reverence_v they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o

without_o reverence_v of_o they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o yield_v he_o honour_n and_o without_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v full_a of_o wisdom_n power_n and_o goodness_n he_o be_v unkind_a and_o traitorous_a unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o as_o oft_o as_o any_o man_n speak_v to_o we_o of_o god_n work_n let_v we_o yield_v this_o reverence_n to_o they_o to_o take_v they_o as_o miracle_n that_o surmount_v all_o our_o wit_n and_o wherein_o god_n utter_v his_o majesty_n after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o honour_v he_o beside_o this_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v

among_o we_o which_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o subdue_v god_n to_o their_o fantastical_a mind_n though_o they_o be_v the_o wise_a man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o best_a see_v in_o

there_o be_v neither_o skill_n nor_o reason_n in_o they_o the_o wine_n overmayster_v they_o like_o swine_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v needs_o play_v the_o divine_n and_o control_v thing_n in_o such_o

you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o way_n to_o be_v well_o teach_v or_o learn_v be_v too_o be_v ashamed_a of_o ourselves_o and_o too_o flee_v unto_o our_o god_n and_o therewithal_o to_o condemn_v all_o

without_o put_v of_o sackcloth_n upon_o his_o back_n &_o without_o cast_v of_o dust_n upon_o his_o head_n nevertheless_o the_o man_n of_o old_a time_n use_v those_o ceremony_n when_o they_o intent_a
