where_o we_o may_v be_v toss_v with_o tempest_n and_o rush_v against_o some_o thing_n and_o evermore_o be_v in_o danger_n thus_o be_v the_o poor_a as_o it_o be_v on_o a_o little_a river_n but_o the_o rich_a be_v as_o it_o be_v on_o the_o mid_n of_o the_o sea_n so_o as_o they_o hardly_o can_v escape_v synk_n in_o some_o whirlpool_n or_o other_o now_o than_o if_o there_o be_v no_o excuse_n for_o the_o rich_a sort_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o those_o to_o who_o god_n give_v the_o mean_a too_o hold_v themselves_o in_o simplicity_n we_o see_v therefore_o that_o here_o be_v a_o general_a lesson_n to_o serve_v for_o all_o man_n aswell_o great_a as_o small_a and_o that_o it_o behove_v each_o man_n to_o benefit_n himself_o by_o the_o example_n that_o be_v set_v here_o before_o our_o eye_n but_o yet_o herewithal_o the_o virtue_n of_o job_n be_v right_a commendable_a for_o we_o hear_v the_o judgement_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n how_o it_o be_v right_a hard_a for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n not_o for_o that_o riches_n do_v of_o themselves_o hinder_v we_o from_o serve_v god_n as_o i_o have_v say_v but_o it_o happen_v through_o our_o naughtiness_n and_o corruption_n that_o where_o as_o it_o become_v we_o to_o take_v occasion_n to_o be_v draw_v unto_o god_n by_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o we_o be_v the_o further_o draw_v back_o from_o he_o wherefore_o we_o see_v that_o job_n be_v a_o man_n of_o wonderful_a virtue_n see_v that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o such_o riches_n he_o have_v not_o his_o eye_n blindfold_a to_o conceive_v any_o pride_n in_o his_o heart_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v tread_v other_o folk_n under_o his_o foot_n or_o forget_v god_n or_o become_v a_o dissolute_a vain_a and_o pompous_a person_n but_o hold_v on_o his_o race_n which_o he_o have_v begin_v lo_o here_o the_o virtue_n that_o be_v commendable_a in_o he_o and_o this_o be_v do_v to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o we_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o be_v full_a equal_a with_o he_o yet_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v look_v to_o himself_o and_o go_v on_o forward_o to_o the_o mark_n that_o be_v set_v afore_o he_o furthermore_o we_o see_v also_o that_o riches_n of_o themselves_o be_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v as_o some_o fantastical_a person_n surmise_v who_o hold_v opinion_n that_o a_o rich_fw-fr man_n can_v not_o be_v a_o christian_n for_o let_v they_o find_v i_o any_o of_o the_o poor_a that_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o job_n in_o this_o virtue_n and_o then_o let_v they_o condemn_v riches_n but_o when_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v seek_v throughout_o all_o the_o poor_a man_n in_o the_o world_n hardly_o shall_v he_o find_v one_o that_o shall_v come_v any_o thing_n near_o this_o man_n see_v then_o that_o the_o case_n be_v so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o riches_n of_o themselves_o and_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v and_o special_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a blasphemy_n against_o god_n if_o a_o man_n find_v such_o fault_n with_o riches_n that_o he_o think_v the_o party_n which_o possess_v they_o to_o be_v utter_o mar_v for_o from_o whence_o come_v riches_n but_o from_o god_n therefore_o when_o a_o man_n condemn_v they_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o god_n and_o further_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o mark_n that_o god_n must_v needs_o work_v far_o more_o marvellous_o in_o a_o rich_a man_n than_o in_o a_o poor_a man_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o for_o i_o have_v already_o show_v the_o difficulty_n that_o a_o man_n have_v to_o maintain_v himself_o in_o simplicity_n and_o uprightness_n when_o he_o have_v abundance_n of_o good_n then_o have_v god_n need_v to_o utter_v a_o singular_a force_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o preserve_v rich_a man_n from_o corrupt_v of_o themselves_o but_o if_o a_o man_n despise_v such_o a_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v he_o not_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o god_n hereby_o than_o we_o be_v warn_v not_o to_o condemn_v riches_n in_o themselves_o like_o also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v show_v we_o by_o match_v the_o poor_a and_o the_o rich_a together_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o lazarus_n in_o saint_n luke_n he_o say_v there_o that_o the_o angel_n carry_v lazarus_n for_o albeit_o that_o he_o be_v a_o outcast_n among_o man_n &_o a_o poor_a creature_n of_o who_o no_o account_n be_v make_v in_o somuch_o that_o he_o be_v forsake_v of_o all_o man_n yet_o nevertheless_o behold_v how_o the_o angel_n carry_v his_o soul_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n and_o what_o be_v this_o abraham_n a_o man_n rich_a both_o in_o cattle_n and_o in_o money_n and_o in_o household_n and_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n save_v house_n and_o land_n for_o those_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o have_v because_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o tarry_v god_n leisure_n till_o he_o give_v he_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n to_o inherit_v true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o purchase_v a_o bury_a place_n but_o he_o have_v not_o any_o inheritance_n notwithstanding_o that_o his_o movable_n be_v very_o great_a therefore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o soul_n of_o lazarus_n carry_v by_o angel_n into_o the_o bosom_n of_o abraham_n who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a we_o perceive_v that_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a grace_n and_o goodness_n call_v both_o rich_fw-fr and_o poor_a to_o salvation_n and_o unto_o this_o purpose_n make_v that_o also_o which_o s._n paul_n say_v namely_o that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v for_o he_o speak_v of_o king_n and_o prince_n who_o of_o ordinary_a do_v missebehave_v themselves_o in_o their_o greatness_n and_o can_v not_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o stoop_v unto_o god_n yea_o it_o seem_v to_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v no_o mortal_a man_n and_o yet_o god_n pick_v out_o some_o of_o they_o to_o himself_o &_o will_v not_o have_v all_o to_o be_v lose_v and_o to_o perish_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v yet_o for_o all_o this_o the_o rich_a man_n must_v not_o flatter_v themselves_o but_o rather_o know_v how_o they_o stand_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o you_o where_o they_o may_v soon_o slide_v and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v among_o thorn_n so_o as_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o look_v diligent_o to_o themselves_o for_o be_v prick_v lo_o how_o each_o one_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v touch_v with_o carefulness_n to_o commend_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v according_a to_o his_o will._n and_o upon_o this_o say_n that_o job_n have_v seven_o son_n and_o three_o daughter_n i_o note_v how_o it_o do_v we_o too_o wit_n that_o god_n have_v send_v his_o blessing_n upon_o he_o to_o make_v he_o prosper_v by_o all_o mean_n and_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o we_o shall_v hereafter_o better_v see_v the_o cause_n why_o all_o this_o be_v express_v and_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v a_o incomparable_a virtue_n in_o job_n to_o bear_v patient_o god_n take_v away_o of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v put_v into_o his_o hand_n and_o it_o be_v very_o well_o declare_v also_o how_o his_o child_n behave_v themselves_o and_o how_o he_o himself_o also_o on_o his_o part_n govern_v they_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v do_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v understand_v that_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o he_o show_v by_o effect_n that_o he_o can_v dispose_v of_o his_o creature_n at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v at_o our_o wit_n end_n and_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n handle_v man_n so_o rough_o yet_o it_o become_v we_o to_o cast_v down_o our_o eye_n and_o to_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o to_o wait_v his_o leisure_n until_o he_o discover_v unto_o we_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o dispose_v
their_o child_n the_o more_o do_v they_o mar_v they_o and_o the_o mother_n do_v it_o yet_o much_o more_o for_o they_o be_v fond_a in_o flatter_v of_o they_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n do_v bring_v they_o to_o naught_o herein_o god_n show_v we_o as_o it_o be_v small_a beam_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v much_o more_o in_o himself_o for_o if_o he_o shall_v handle_v we_o mild_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o undo_v and_o pass_v recovery_n therefore_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o and_o to_o be_v rough_a with_o we_o see_v we_o be_v of_o so_o sturdy_a a_o nature_n that_o if_o he_o shall_v deal_v gentle_o with_o we_o we_o shall_v take_v no_o good_a by_o it_o you_o see_v how_o we_o may_v attain_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o the_o man_n be_v happy_a who_o god_n chastize_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n by_o consider_v what_o our_o nature_n be_v namely_o how_o it_o be_v stubborn_a how_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o be_v frame_v to_o order_n and_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v never_o chastise_v we_o it_o be_v not_o for_o our_o profit_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o he_o shall_v hold_v we_o short_a and_o that_o he_o shall_v give_v we_o so_o many_o lash_n with_o the_o whip_n as_o we_o shall_v be_v constrain_v to_o regard_v he_o whither_o we_o will_v for_o no._n then_o shall_v we_o at_o length_n come_v to_o conclude_v that_o the_o man_n be_v happy_a who_o god_n chastize_v yea_o very_o if_o he_o add_v the_o second_o grace_n unto_o it_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n if_o he_o make_v his_o rod_n and_o his_o correction_n to_o avail_v and_o cause_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o work_v in_o such_o wise_a in_o the_o heart_n as_o a_o man_n may_v no_o more_o be_v harden_v to_o advance_v himself_o against_o god_n but_o may_v have_v the_o care_n too_o think_v upon_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o be_v right_o tame_v and_o humble_v thus_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v that_o the_o great_a benefit_n which_o we_o can_v have_v be_v to_o be_v correct_v at_o god_n hand_n in_o so_o much_o that_o when_o we_o have_v cast_v our_o account_n too_o the_o full_a we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o correction_n which_o he_o send_v we_o be_v more_o for_o our_o profit_n than_o the_o bread_n that_o we_o eat_v for_o if_o we_o starve_v for_o hunger_n god_n will_v have_v pity_n upon_o we_o in_o take_v of_o we_o out_o of_o this_o

you_o not_o too_o shameful_a a_o unthankfulness_n i_o pray_v you_o have_v it_o not_o be_v better_a that_o we_o have_v be_v bear_v dead_a than_o that_o we_o shall_v so_o prolong_v our_o life_n too_o our_o damnation_n but_o if_o god_n prevent_v we_o and_o use_v chastizement_n as_o preservative_a medicine_n and_o tarry_v not_o till_o the_o disease_n be_v too_o far_o overgrow_v be_v it_o not_o a_o

that_o our_o flesh_n provoke_v we_o to_o impatience_n and_o despair_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o call_v this_o lesson_n to_o remembrance_n that_o the_o man_n be_v happy_a who_o god_n chastize_v howbeit_o that_o our_o imagination_n will_v not_o say_v so_o for_o contrary_o we_o surmise_v that_o nothing_o be_v better_a than_o to_o be_v spare_v and_o bear_v withal_o but_o certain_o although_o we_o know_v by_o experience_n how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v utter_v such_o a_o sentence_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v thereby_o that_o the_o

the_o prick_n that_o put_v we_o to_o pain_n for_o if_o we_o feel_v no_o grief_n when_o god_n correct_v we_o where_o be_v our_o obedientness_n and_o furthermore_o how_o shall_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v angry_a with_o ourselves_o for_o our_o sin_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v afraid_a of_o god_n judgement_n to_o be_v tame_v aright_o then_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o be_v grieve_v with_o the_o adversity_n which_o god_n send_v we_o and_o although_o the_o adversity_n be_v turn_v to_o our_o benefit_n and_o that_o god_n do_v thereby_o show_v that_o he_o love_v we_o yet_o be_v it_o requisite_a that_o

will_v give_v we_o the_o virtue_n
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

his_o mother_n conceive_v he_o in_o sin_n he_o accuse_v not_o neither_o his_o father_n nor_o his_o mother_n but_o plead_v guilty_n for_o himself_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o be_v

acknowledge_v his_o horrible_a sin_n whereby_o he_o have_v offend_v god_n he_o hold_v not_o himself_o content_v with_o that_o but_o pass_v further_o say_v alas_o lord_n it_o be_v not_o only_o in_o my_o life_n time_n that_o i_o have_v do_v amiss_o but_o i_o have_v also_o bring_v such_o a_o possession_n of_o sin_n from_o my_o birth_n that_o ever_o since_o i_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n i_o have_v still_o increase_v more_o &_o more_o in_o the_o evil_a whereof_o i_o have_v the_o seed_n within_o i_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o david_n do_v set_v original_a sin_n before_o his_o eye_n not_o to_o hunt_v for_o any_o pretence_n too_o clear_v himself_o before_o god_n but_o to_o pass_v the_o condemnation_n wherein_o he_o be_v then_o must_v we_o so_o deal_v when_o we_o speak_v of_o original_a

provoke_v to_o hatred_n and_o malice_n or_o if_o we_o be_v blind_v with_o love_n and_o partiality_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v let_v we_o enter_v into_o ourselves_o &_o pray_v god_n to_o guide_v we_o and_o to_o open_v our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v discern_v aright_o say_v go_v to_o if_o the_o matter_n concern_v thyself_o what_o will_v thou_o say_v then_o lo_o how_o we_o may_v become_v wise_a discreet_a and_o stay_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n by_o apply_v the_o same_o thing_n to_o ourselves_o which_o we_o cast_v out_o against_o other_o for_o we_o be_v so_o much_o give_v to_o self-love_n and_o

work_v in_o such_o wise_n in_o we_o as_o this_o vice_n may_v be_v turn_v into_o virtue_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n let_v we_o consider_v what_o be_v import_v in_o this_o say_n thou_o shall_v love_v

but_o because_o we_o be_v not_o diligent_a enough_o in_o practise_v that_o which_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v so_o much_o give_v to_o the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o but_o that_o we_o must_v love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o for_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v create_v we_o all_o after_o his_o own_o image_n and_o therewithal_o that_o we_o be_v all_o of_o one_o nature_n heerewithall_o also_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o agree_v in_o true_a brotherhood_n with_o those_o that_o be_v link_v unto_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o sentence_n where_o job_n tell_v they_o that_o have_v accuse_v he_o unjust_o that_o they_o will_v be_v loath_a that_o other_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a

that_o our_o natural_a wit_n do_v rest_n upon_o and_o look_v at_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o feel_v see_v and_o touch_v therefore_o when_o god_n leave_v we_o in_o such_o extremity_n as_o we_o know_v

which_o look_v not_o unto_o god_n hand_n neither_o in_o weal_n nor_o wo._n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o but_o rather_o whensoever_o we_o have_v any_o prosperity_n let_v we_o consider_v

to_o do_v and_o god_n put_v a_o bar_n in_o his_o way_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o be_v hold_v short_a in_o every_o mischief_n that_o he_o step_v forth_o unto_o and_o can_v do_v nothing_o further_o

that_o god_n give_v such_o authority_n and_o preeminence_n unto_o satan_n as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o lead_v we_o amiss_o this_o will_v be_v a_o very_a strange_a thing_n to_o our_o own_o imagination_n but_o what_o then_o see_v that_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o to_o wait_v till_o the_o day_n come_v that_o we_o may_v better_o conceive_v god_n secret_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o at_o this_o day_n &_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o magnify_v they_o and_o to_o honour_n god_n judgement_n have_v they_o in_o reverence_n and_o admiration_n until_o they_o may_v be_v better_o know_v unto_o we_o for_o we_o have_v too_o small_a a_o capacity_n to_o know_v they_o thorough_o as_o now_o therefore_o we_o must_v walk_v in_o humility_n content_v ourselves_o to_o know_v but_o in_o part_n until_o full_a knowledge_n be_v disclose_v unto_o we_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n but_o how_o soever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o must_v not_o be_v ignorant_a in_o that_o which_o the_o scripture_n show_v we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n serve_v his_o own_o turn_n by_o satan_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o satan_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o seduce_v man_n when_o they_o have_v deserve_v it_o and_o special_o when_o they_o refuse_v to_o obey_v the_o truth_n then_o must_v they_o needs_o be_v carry_v away_o unto_o lie_n as_o concern_v the_o faithful_a god_n do_v now_o &_o then_o leave_v they_o also_o unto_o satan_n so_o as_o they_o be_v seduce_v by_o he_o like_v as_o job_n be_v not_o exempt_v from_o that_o inconvenience_n in_o the_o end_n and_o also_o we_o see_v what_o be_v say_v of_o david_n in_o the_o holy_a story_n for_o whereof_o come_v it_o that_o he_o number_v the_o people_n the_o text_n report_v how_o it_o be_v the_o devil_n that_o stir_v up_o all_o the_o mischief_n when_o david_n number_v so_o the_o people_n of_o god_n david_n they_o being_n one_o of_o god_n child_n be_v notwithstanding_o sometime_o deliver_v into_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o be_v beguile_v by_o he_o now_o when_o we_o see_v this_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n too_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o come_v shroud_v ourselves_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n and_o there_o to_o hide_v we_o for_o if_o such_o thing_n befall_v unto_o david_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o herewithal_o let_v we_o also_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n give_v satan_n such_o sway_n over_o the_o faithful_a it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o little_a while_n and_o here_o you_o may_v see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n dominion_n be_v over_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o upon_o all_o the_o stubborneharted_a it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n make_v this_o distinction_n he_o work_v even_o now_o say_v he_o in_o all_o the_o unbeliever_n thus_o place_v he_o the_o reign_n of_o satan_n in_o they_o that_o be_v separate_v from_o god_o and_o cut_v off_o from_o his_o church_n and_o wherefore_o for_o there_o we_o see_v he_o be_v in_o his_o own_o bound_n but_o when_o he_o have_v power_n to_o wound_v the_o child_n of_o god_n our_o lord_n permit_v that_o to_o humble_v they_o too_o the_o end_n that_o when_o they_o be_v so_o grievous_o torment_v and_o yet_o do_v all_o the_o while_n resist_v the_o assault_n that_o be_v make_v upon_o they_o they_o shall_v understand_v that_o that_o come_v not_o of_o themselves_o but_o that_o they_o be_v uphild_n otherwise_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o then_o when_o god_n give_v satan_n leave_v to_o tempt_v faithful_a one_o ordinary_o it_o be_v to_o make_v they_o to_o be_v serve_v therewith_o as_o with_o a_o medicine_n and_o herein_o we_o see_v god_n marvellous_a goodness_n how_o he_o turn_v the_o evil_a into_o good_a for_o what_o can_v satan_n bring_v but_o rank_n poison_n and_o venom_n yea_o we_o know_v he_o have_v nothing_o with_o he_o but_o death_n for_o he_o be_v call_v the_o prince_n thereof_o so_o then_o whatsoever_o satan_n can_v bring_v it_o tend_v altogether_o to_o man_n destruction_n and_o too_o the_o drown_n of_o they_o in_o endless_a damnation_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n find_v the_o mean_a that_o the_o evil_n which_o be_v in_o satan_n be_v turn_v to_o our_o welfare_n and_o here_o we_o see_v how_o saint_n paul_n be_v physike_v as_o he_o himself_o confess_v after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o high_a revelation_n that_o have_v be_v give_v unto_o he_o god_n say_v he_o have_v provide_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o exalt_v myself_o too_o much_o lo_o here_o a_o good_a provision_n and_o very_o profitable_a for_o saint_n paul_n for_o we_o know_v that_o pride_n be_v ready_a to_o throw_v we_o headlong_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o provoke_v god_n displeasure_n more_o for_o needs_o must_v he_o always_o show_v himself_o a_o enemy_n to_o the_o proud_a and_o to_o such_o as_o presume_v upon_o their_o own_o strength_n in_o what_o wise_a so_o ever_o it_o be_v and_o saint_n paul_n be_v in_o the_o same_o danger_n if_o god_n have_v not_o remedy_v it_o in_o what_o sort_n do_v he_o it_o it_o be_v say_v paul_n by_o send_v i_o the_o messenger_n of_o satan_n to_o buffet_v i_o see_v how_o satan_n work_v in_o saint_n paul_n yea_o even_o by_o god_n permission_n and_o what_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o it_o out_o of_o doubt_n satan_n mean_v to_o have_v overwhelm_v paul_n and_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o have_v drive_v he_o into_o wickedness_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v have_v give_v over_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o by_o little_a and_o little_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o christianity_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o wearisome_a trouble_n and_o misery_n which_o he_o endure_v without_o cease_v lo_o here_o what_o satan_n intend_v but_o what_o for_o that_o god_n purpose_v another_o end_n namely_o to_o bridle_v his_o servant_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o forget_v himself_o and_o so_o exalt_v himself_o too_o much_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v he_o buffet_v for_o he_o use_v the_o say_a similitude_n of_o buffet_v for_o the_o nonce_n as_o who_o will_v say_v god_n use_v he_o not_o as_o a_o man_n of_o arm_n that_o fight_v in_o the_o field_n to_o give_v he_o a_o glorious_a victory_n but_o buffet_v he_o like_o a_o boy_n too_o his_o shame_n and_o reproach_n thus_o the_o holy_a apostle_n who_o god_n have_v endue_v with_o so_o excellent_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v so_o far_o make_v a_o underling_n to_o satan_n that_o satan_n spit_v in_o his_o face_n and_o wrought_v he_o marry_v other_o villainy_n we_o see_v then_o how_o god_n turn_v the_o evil_a into_o good_a when_o he_o make_v all_o satan_n sting_n to_o serve_v we_o as_o medicine_n whereby_o he_o purge_v we_o of_o the_o vice_n that_o lie_v hide_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v cause_n too_o praise_n god_n in_o all_o respect_n yea_o even_o though_o that_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n his_o judgement_n be_v over_o boisterous_a to_o our_o imagination_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o conceive_v they_o by_o our_o fleshly_a understanding_n when_o we_o have_v well_o consider_v all_o we_o shall_v evermore_o have_v wherefore_o to_o magnify_v god_n thus_o much_o as_o touch_v this_o strain_v wherein_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n give_v satan_n leave_v to_o punish_v job_n howbeit_o so_o as_o he_o forwarn_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o touch_v his_o person_n in_o effect_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n give_v satan_n liberty_n too_o assail_v we_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o make_v many_o sore_a assault_n upon_o we_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o go_v all_o by_o measure_n as_o one_o that_o know_v what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v and_o what_o be_v

bear_v such_o reverence_n too_o his_o majesty_n as_o our_o word_n may_v be_v well_o frame_v that_o there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o reproach_n and_o much_o less_o any_o outrage_n as_o we_o see_v be_v

have_v neither_o measure_n nor_o stay_v of_o themselves_o when_o their_o affection_n begin_v too_o boil_v up_o for_o like_v as_o in_o a_o pot_n when_o the_o first_o seethe_v be_v overpass_v and_o it_o

wield_v they_o at_o the_o first_o brunt_n but_o contrariwise_o we_o see_v what_o be_v teach_v we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n namely_o that_o when_o david_n mean_v too_o praise_n god_n as_o

neither_o above_o nor_o beneath_o which_o shall_v not_o bend_v itself_o whole_o to_o glorify_v god_n and_o herewithal_o also_o let_v we_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o be_v able_a to_o employ_v ourselves_o thereabouts_o and_o to_o strengthen_v we_o against_o all_o temptation_n that_o may_v chance_v not_o only_o against_o the_o assault_n that_o shall_v be_v make_v upon_o we_o

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

as_o it_o may_v he_o cast_v in_o his_o tooth_n to_o his_o shame_n but_o also_o he_o must_v beware_v that_o none_o evil_a be_v do_v under_o his_o shadow_n as_o for_o example_n if_o he_o be_v the_o

by_o overthwart_a mean_n or_o by_o wicked_a deal_n thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v precise_o add_v that_o misdeal_a must_v not_o dwell_v in_o our_o tent_n and_o now_o have_v we_o in_o effect_n that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o but_o now_o remain_v that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o think_v better_o of_o it_o than_o we_o have_v do_v for_o this_o doctrine_n consist_v not_o in_o word_n but_o must_v

to_o we_o and_o why_o then_o be_v we_o so_o far_o off_o from_o it_o even_o because_o the_o more_o part_n of_o we_o be_v content_v to_o hear_v speak_v of_o it_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o leave_v the_o chief_a point_n of_o it_o to_o the_o intent_n therefore_o that_o we_o may_v be_v touch_v the_o better_a &_o the_o more_o to_o the_o quick_a let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o we_o must_v not_o go_v about_o the_o bush_n with_o god_n but_o keep_v the_o right_a way_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o my_o say_n of_o this_o be_v to_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o all_o the_o superstition_n &_o fond_a ape_n toy_n wherewith_o man_n beguile_v themselves_o too_o too_o wilful_o for_o as_o for_o these_o general_a principle_n man_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o confess_v they_o well-enough_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v honour_v and_o serve_v and_o that_o without_o we_o do_v so_o he_o will_v curse_v we_o and_o cast_v we_o away_o and_o that_o it_o

overwhelm_v we_o every_o man_n say_v i_o will_v well_o confess_v this_o again_o for_o the_o second_o point_n it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n upon_o we_o when_o we_o turn_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o if_o we_o serve_v he_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v he_o will_v not_o deal_v so_o hardly_o with_o we_o but_o we_o shall_v find_v he_o by_o experience_n to_o be_v both_o a_o father_n and_o saviour_n to_o we_o man_n will_v well_o enough_o say_v so_o but_o when_o it_o come_v too_o the_o deed_n do_v it_o will_v be_v well_o perceive_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n in_o all_o these_o goodly_a protestation_n and_o that_o man_n be_v very_o far_o of_o from_o god_n so_o long_o as_o they_o think_v to_o content_v he_o with_o their_o fond_a fancy_n then_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o the_o true_a turn_v which_o god_n allow_v be_v not_o a_o torment_a of_o a_o man_n self_n in_o vain_a and_o superfluous_a thing_n but_o a_o come_n unto_o he_o with_o a_o rightmeen_a soundness_n but_o let_v we_o now_o look_v upon_o the_o lurkinghole_n of_o our_o heart_n i_o say_v let_v every_o man_n examine_v what_o be_v in_o himself_o let_v we_o not_o flatter_v ourselves_o too_o make_v ourselves_o believe_v that_o black_a be_v white_a for_o we_o shall_v win_v nothing_o by_o so_o do_v see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v so_o many_o startinghole_n in_o ourselves_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o fight_v against_o they_o for_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o have_v a_o clear_a heart_n and_o such_o a_o soundness_n as_o god_n require_v when_o man_n have_v endeavour_v themselves_o thereunto_o all_o their_o time_n it_o be_v much_o if_o they_o come_v to_o the_o mid_n of_o their_o journey_n before_o they_o die_v yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v travel_v still_o and_o desire_v god_n to_o strengthen_v we_o that_o we_o may_v compass_v our_o intent_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n mark_v that_o for_o a_o special_a point_n and_o for_o the_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

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

to_o learn_v what_o it_o be_v to_o suffer_v and_o to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o his_o will_n so_o then_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o be_v more_o strong_a to_o endure_v the_o chastisement_n that_o god_n send_v we_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o be_v show_v we_o here_o namely_o that_o job_n who_o be_v of_o so_o excellent_a holiness_n and_o who_o god_n love_v so_o well_o be_v nevertheless_o set_v up_o as_o a_o white_a to_o shoot_v at_o and_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o we_o must_v be_v strong_a in_o our_o affliction_n not_o to_o harden_v ourselves_o against_o god_n and_o to_o chew_v upon_o our_o bridle_n as_o we_o see_v many_o man_n do_v for_o that_o make_v man_n hard-hearted_a and_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o repentance_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v tender_a heart_a in_o this_o behalf_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n as_o soon_o as_o god_n tick_v we_o we_o must_v streitways_o awake_v to_o think_v upon_o he_o and_o not_o tarry_v till_o he_o draw_v out_o his_o sword_n at_o we_o and_o wound_v we_o nor_o till_o he_o let_v his_o arrow_n flee_v at_o we_o or_o thunder_v upon_o we_o what_o then_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o give_v we_o but_o one_o stripe_n with_o his_o rod_n although_o it_o be_v soft_o we_o must_v be_v quiet_a and_o very_o if_o we_o be_v wise_a and_o well_o advise_v we_o will_v not_o tarry_v till_o he_o shall_v strike_v so_o

like_o the_o better_a of_o he_o for_o that_o will_v man_n think_v it_o a_o good_a property_n in_o he_o no_o it_o be_v a_o vice_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o we_o though_o god_n strike_v we_o not_o with_o the_o sword_n but_o only_o show_v we_o the_o shadow_n of_o a_o rod_n yet_o must_v we_o be_v move_v but_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v therewithal_o be_v strong_a in_o such_o wise_a as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n nor_o so_o oversorowfull_a as_o our_o grief_n may_v not_o be_v assuage_v nor_o we_o have_v any_o feel_n of_o god_n gracious_a goodness_n for_o they_o that_o be_v so_o press_v can_v by_o any_o mean_n reclaim_v they_o self_n because_o that_o if_o we_o once_o take_v a_o conceit_n that_o god_n be_v our_o adversary_n and_o so_o have_v no_o trust_n at_o all_o in_o his_o goodness_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v come_v near_o he_o but_o we_o will_v rather_o flee_v from_o he_o &_o when_o we_o be_v once_o go_v away_o we_o will_v still_o labour_v to_o draw_v further_o &_o further_o from_o he_o therefore_o we_o must_v pluck_v up_o a_o good_a heart_n in_o our_o adversity_n that_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o god_n and_o not_o be_v afraid_a too_o return_v unto_o he_o trust_v that_o he_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o show_v we_o mercy_n if_o we_o seek_v it_o with_o a_o good_a pure_a and_o rightmeen_a mind_n you_o see_v then_o whereunto_o the_o word_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v do_v tend_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v too_o nice_a in_o our_o affliction_n but_o rather_o feel_v they_o be_v time_n that_o we_o may_v return_v unto_o god_n also_o if_o god_n have_v send_v we_o any_o adversity_n do_v double_a the_o same_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v gripe_v exceed_o both_o within_o and_o without_o yet_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v where_o job_n be_v and_o therefore_o that_o if_o he_o continue_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o flee_v still_o unto_o

that_o he_o may_v bring_v all_o their_o enterprise_n to_o a_o good_a end_n no._n there_o be_v nothing_o with_o they_o but_o pride_n and_o stateliness_n in_o somuch_o as_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v

prolong_v they_o so_o as_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o perceive_v not_o his_o day_n for_o now_o adays_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o god_n have_v no_o care_n of_o we_o and_o that_o he_o have_v

say_v god_n delay_v his_o judgement_n and_o execute_v they_o not_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o letter_n now_o let_v we_o advise_v ourselves_o to_o gather_v such_o instruction_n as_o be_v give_v we_o by_o this_o sentence_n i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a sore_a temptation_n too_o the_o faithful_a when_o thing_n be_v confuse_v in_o the_o world_n so_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o god_n meddle_v no_o more_o with_o they_o but_o that_o fortune_n rule_v and_o govern_v all_o thing_n and_o this_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o these_o devilish_a proverb_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v toss_v by_o casual_a fortune_n that_o thing_n be_v blind_o guide_v that_o god_n play_v with_o man_n as_o with_o a_o

vouchsafe_v not_o to_o think_v upon_o we_o behold_v the_o blasphemy_n that_o have_v reign_v at_o all_o time_n and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o man_v wit_n be_v dazzle_v when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o judge_v of_o thing_n that_o be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o which_o pass_v our_o judgement_n and_o reason_n what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o be_v arm_v against_o such_o

of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v handle_v heretofore_o that_o be_v that_o our_o mind_n be_v so_o froward_a and_o wilful_a that_o we_o turn_v god_n work_v quite_o upside_o down_o and_o can_v never_o take_v any_o profit_n by_o they_o if_o god_n hold_v such_o a_o order_n that_o assoon_o as_o a_o man_n have_v offend_v he_o shall_v be_v punish_v according_a to_o his_o offence_n and_o that_o the_o good_a shall_v live_v here_o in_o peace_n and_o rest_n what_o hope_n shall_v there_o be_v of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n for_o it_o will_v never_o be_v bring_v too_o pass_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v pluck_v from_o bylow_n then_o if_o god_n give_v we_o a_o peaceable_a and_o perfect_a state_n wherein_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v mislike_v there_o will_v be_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o we_o will_v no_o more_o hope_n for_o the_o endless_a life_n we_o will_v imagine_v that_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o if_o man_n may_v perceive_v god_n judgement_n according_a to_o their_o own_o desire_n they_o will_v fall_v asleep_a here_o by_o low_a and_o be_v fast_o tie_v to_o this_o world_n but_o it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o thing_n shall_v be_v out_o of_o order_n to_o the_o end_n to_o wake_v we_o for_o if_o we_o may_v live_v at_o ease_n we_o will_v fall_v asleep_a and_o we_o shall_v have_v neither_o understanding_n nor_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o when_o

notwithstanding_o man_n cease_v not_o too_o entangle_v themselves_o with_o many_o false_a and_o wicked_a imagination_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o because_o thing_n fall_v not_o out_o as_o we_o will_v have_v they_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o surmise_v that_o god_n think_v not_o upon_o we_o ne_o regard_v we_o any_o more_o that_o it_o be_v but_o time_n lose_v too_o serve_v he_o that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o too_o live_v well_o or_o ill_a and_o that_o good_a man_n gain_v nothing_o by_o walk_v in_o fear_n under_o he_o lo_o how_o man_n rush_v out_o into_o all_o ungodliness_n because_o our_o lord_n rule_v not_o his_o judgement_n as_o their_o appetite_n may_v brook_v they_o and_o according_a to_o their_o reason_n and_o fancy_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o only_o too_o distrust_v all_o our_o own_o fleshly_a wisdom_n but_o also_o too_o know_v that_o the_o same_o be_v a_o enemy_n too_o god_n wisdom_n and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o give_v liberty_n too_o that_o which_o we_o

can_v conceive_v and_o that_o our_o own_o brain_n be_v too_o small_a a_o measure_n to_o contain_v a_o infinite_a thing_n for_o that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n term_v

behold_v the_o mark_n whereat_o we_o must_v shoot_v if_o we_o mind_v to_o gather_v good_a and_o profitable_a instruction_n of_o this_o sentence_n but_o now_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o if_o iniquity_n reign_n and_o there_o be_v no_o redress_n of_o it_o the_o same_o must_v not_o seem_v strange_a too_o we_o for_o it_o have_v be_v so_o in_o all_o time_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o we_o compare_v the_o state_n of_o job_n time_n with_o the_o state_n of_o we_o there_o be_v then_o much_o more_o soundness_n than_o there_o be_v now_o for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o world_n grow_v worse_a and_o worse_o and_o man_n harden_v in_o all_o evil_a and_o corruption_n increase_v more_o and_o more_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o the_o same_o complaint_n be_v make_v in_o job_n time_n that_o be_v make_v here_o namely_o that_o rich_a man_n be_v as_o seagulf_v to_o swallow_v up_o all_o thing_n they_o eat_v up_o the_o fatherless_a they_o rob_v the_o widow_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o cruelty_n in_o they_o again_o when_o the_o poor_a have_v take_v pain_n yea_o and_o press_v out_o their_o oil_n in_o their_o house_n yet_o do_v not_o man_n cease_v too_o spoil_v they_o of_o their_o good_n and_o when_o they_o have_v gather_v their_o grape_n yet_o be_v they_o fain_v too_o go_v away_o athirst_a for_o the_o wine_n be_v draw_v away_o from_o their_o hand_n yea_o and_o the_o cruelty_n extend_v so_o far_o that_o the_o poor_a folk_n be_v strip_v out_o of_o their_o clothes_n and_o be_v fain_o to_o go_v away_o stark_o naked_a and_o in_o stead_n of_o bed_n and_o pillow_n be_v fain_o to_o lie_v upon_o hard_a stone_n and_o to_o sleep_v in_o the_o rain_n and_o in_o the_o dew_n of_o the_o night_n in_o wind_n and_o cold_a now_o if_o
but_o yet_o do_v we_o not_o yield_v god_n the_o power_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o and_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o conceive_v in_o he_o for_o we_o talk_v of_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o name_n run_v round_o in_o our_o mouth_n as_o in_o way_n of_o contempt_n â–ª_o and_o oftentimes_o we_o talk_v of_o he_o in_o way_n of_o scorn_n and_o mockage_n it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v that_o man_n be_v out_o of_o measure_n heathenish_a and_o that_o whereas_o all_o knee_n ought_v to_o bow_v and_o all_o creature_n to_o tremble_v when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n we_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o yield_v no_o reverence_n nor_o lowliness_n at_o all_o to_o be_v short_a man_n acknowledge_v not_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n neither_o conceive_v they_o his_o power_n to_o humble_a and_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o he_o as_o they_o ought_v too_o do_v â–ª_o therefore_o when_o there_o be_v any_o speak_n of_o god_n he_o have_v need_n to_o be_v qualify_v unto_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o be_v utter_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v conceyne_v he_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v so_o oftentimes_o add_v title_n to_o he_o and_o be_v not_o content_v with_o his_o single_a name_n but_o term_v he_o the_o almighty_a the_o alwise_o the_o alrightuous_a the_o only_a immortal_a in_o himself_o the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o govetnoâ—_n of_o

the_o scripture_n give_v god_n any_o name_n of_o honour_n it_o be_v a_o upbraid_v of_o we_o with_o our_o unthankfulness_n and_o dullness_n in_o that_o we_o yield_v he_o not_o his_o due_n but_o as_o

namely_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v heap_v up_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o movable_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n good_a man_n shall_v come_v to_o be_v clothe_v with_o they_o true_a it_o be_v

but_o yet_o god_n provide_v in_o such_o wise_a for_o they_o as_o they_o always_o keep_v on_o their_o way_n still_o we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o godly_a shall_v sometime_o be_v clothe_v with_o the_o

stumble_v at_o it_o say_v what_o mean_v this_o and_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a and_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n honour_v it_o seem_v too_o we_o that_o god_n govern_v not_o the_o world_n and_o that_o thing_n be_v guide_v by_o fortune_n behold_v how_o faith_n be_v utter_o deface_v when_o we_o go_v about_o to_o measure_n god_n judgement_n by_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o can_v present_o see_v

every_o man_n can_v well_o enough_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n now_o when_o god_n advance_v a_o man_n in_o such_o wise_n by_o give_v he_o more_o large_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v too_o the_o intent_n he_o shall_v purchase_v himself_o estimation_n and_o not_o rather_o for_o
that_o we_o must_v not_o at_o all_o adventure_n receive_v all_o doctrine_n that_o be_v set_v afore_o we_o until_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o they_o be_v of_o god_n but_o when_o we_o know_v that_o it_o

thing_n i_o say_v which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o forget_v ourselves_o when_o god_n spare_v we_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o prosperity_n continue_v not_o still_o with_o we_o it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o abuse_v it_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o second_o if_o god_n send_v we_o affliction_n let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o well_o and_o examine_v whither_o we_o have_v not_o be_v sleepy_a in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o prosperity_n for_o hereby_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o know_v our_o fault_n and_o to_o condemn_v they_o before_o god_n say_v lord_n thou_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o punish_v we_o and_o why_o for_o since_o the_o time_n that_o thou_o do_v prosper_v we_o by_o thy_o favour_n we_o have_v forget_v thou_o and_o lay_v the_o bridle_n in_o our_o neck_n and_o take_v to_o much_o liberty_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o thou_o shall_v punish_v we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v feel_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o unruliness_n lo_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o call_v to_o mind_n our_o former_a fault_n when_o god_n visit_v we_o by_o any_o affliction_n and_o special_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v well_o whether_o we_o have_v not_o be_v unmerciful_a toward_o such_o as_o deserve_v our_o succour_n for_o we_o have_v make_v no_o account_n of_o other_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o our_o lord_n shall_v handle_v we_o rough_o again_o that_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o acknowledge_v our_o fault_n by_o our_o lord_n sharpness_n and_o rigour_n towards_o we_o mark_v that_o for_o

as_o s._n paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v always_o to_o dispose_v ourselves_o to_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o correction_n which_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o send_v we_o yea_o even_o though_o we_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o do_v it_o if_o we_o have_v be_v watchful_a in_o the_o time_n of_o prosperity_n and_o not_o abuse_v our_o ease_n yet_o will_v not_o god_n miss_v to_o handle_v we_o rough_o now_o and_o then_o if_o we_o ask_v why_o he_o do_v it_o the_o reason_n will_v not_o be_v manifest_a at_o the_o first_o but_o he_o do_v it_o to_o humble_v we_o and_o so_o let_v we_o always_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o i_o say_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n these_o two_o reason_n distinct_o first_o that_o we_o remember_v the_o threaten_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n against_o such_o as_o be_v unmerciful_a to_o their_o neighbour_n and_o play_v the_o beast_n in_o their_o prosperity_n and_o second_o that_o we_o consider_v that_o although_o man_n behave_v themselves_o mild_o sober_o and_o friendly_o yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o afflict_v they_o after_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n as_o we_o see_v have_v happen_v unto_o job._n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o in_o stead_n of_o that_o he_o say_v here_o i_o have_v wait_v for_o light_n and_o behold_v here_o be_v darkness_n i_o have_v hope_v for_o good_a and_o behold_v here_o be_v evil_a let_v we_o look_v for_o good_a according_a as_o god_n promise_v it_o for_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n have_v promise_n not_o only_o of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n but_o also_o of_o the_o present_a and_o transitory_a life_n so_o then_o let_v we_o always_o look_v for_o welfare_n at_o god_n hand_n but_o yet_o let_v we_o not_o look_v for_o it_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v adversity_n whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o send_v it_o we_o for_o whereas_o god_n promise_v we_o to_o handle_v we_o gentle_o &_o to_o use_v fatherly_a and_o love_a kindness_n towards_o we_o it_o be_v but_o conditional_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v expedient_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o why_o for_o his_o temporal_a benefit_n be_v such_o as_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o deal_v they_o forth_o and_o to_o distribute_v they_o by_o measure_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o i_o have_v allege_v already_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o impossibility_n or_o at_o leastwise_o a_o very_a hard_a matter_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o either_o abuse_n and_o corrupt_v god_n gift_n or_o bestow_v they_o clean_o contrary_a to_o his_o meaning_n so_o then_o we_o may_v well_o hope_v that_o when_o god_n have_v do_v we_o good_a he_o will_v continue_v the_o same_o yea_o and_o also_o increase_v it_o still_o but_o we_o must_v not_o also_o look_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o therewithal_o dispose_v ourselves_o whole_o too_o receive_v adversity_n whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o send_v it_o why_o so_o we_o must_v not_o make_v reckon_v that_o we_o have_v a_o everlasting_a state_n in_o our_o life_n without_o any_o change_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o as_o our_o life_n be_v frail_a so_o also_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o change_n and_o that_o if_o we_o have_v prosperity_n to_o day_n god_n may_v disappoint_v we_o of_o it_o to_o morrow_n and_o although_o we_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o yet_o he_o know_v it_o and_o let_v we_o be_v content_v with_o it_o you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o look_v for_o the_o temporal_a benefit_n of_o this_o world_n that_o be_v that_o when_o they_o enjoy_v they_o they_o must_v believe_v full_o that_o god_n will_v continue_v his_o deal_n towards_o they_o as_o he_o have_v do_v thitherto_o howbeit_o in_o look_v for_o prosperity_n it_o behoove_v they_o to_o prepare_v themselves_o to_o receive_v adversity_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o may_v not_o be_v take_v unwares_o nor_o think_v it_o strange_a if_o he_o bereeve_v they_o of_o his_o benefit_n when_o he_o have_v handle_v they_o as_o gentle_o as_o may_v be_v for_o a_o time_n i_o say_v they_o must_v not_o think_v it_o any_o novelty_n if_o god_n turn_v his_o hand_n the_o contrary_a way_n and_o smite_v they_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o our_o look_v for_o prosperity_n must_v be_v with_o continual_a dispose_n of_o ourselves_o too_o suffer_v adversity_n yea_o and_o to_o suffer_v it_o patient_o to_o the_o end_n we_o miscarry_v not_o when_o it_o come_v upon_o we_o and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o in_o conclusion_n mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v here_o concern_v job._n he_o complain_v that_o he_o be_v a_o

as_o he_o may_v rather_o have_v be_v compare_v with_o a_o angel_n than_o with_o a_o mortal_a creature_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o he_o be_v handle_v hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v to_o put_v ourselves_o whole_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o not_o cease_v to_o trust_v in_o he_o though_o he_o scourge_v we_o rough_o and_o seem_v mind_v to_o overwhelm_v we_o utter_o but_o to_o put_v that_o thing_n in_o ure_n which_o we_o have_v see_v here_o before_o namely_o that_o though_o he_o shall_v kill_v we_o yet_o we_o will_v hope_v still_o for_o his_o mercy_n and_o fight_v against_o the_o battle_n of_o death_n and_o ground_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o promise_n hold_v our_o own_o still_o and_o continue_v steadfast_a in_o the_o midst_n
of_o all_o our_o adversity_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n and_o furthermore_o if_o god_n scourge_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n we_o must_v be_v the_o less_o plunge_v in_o sorrow_n by_o reason_n of_o those_o affliction_n and_o take_v they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o meek_o and_o with_o a_o quiet_a mind_n consider_v how_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v handle_v so_o sharp_o in_o respect_n of_o

now_o when_o man_n presume_v so_o far_o of_o themselves_o as_o too_o challenge_v the_o praise_n of_o their_o own_o salvation_n they_o must_v needs_o stumble_v with_o a_o deadly_a fall_n because_o the_o principal_a point_n which_o god_n reserve_v to_o himself_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v know_v ourselves_o to_o be_v in_o state_n of_o damnation_n and_o utter_o forlese_v and_o past_a recovery_n &_o that_o we_o shall_v recover_v no_o hope_n but_o only_o in_o his_o free_a goodness_n when_o this_o doctrine_n be_v deface_v it_o be_v asmuch_o as_o to_o exalt_v man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o god_n

job_n protest_v that_o he_o love_v his_o enemy_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o rejoice_v not_o at_o their_o fall_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o point_n for_o

see_v that_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o judge_n and_o give_v they_o example_n and_o instruction_n at_o other_o man_n cost_n when_o we_o do_v it_o after_o that_o sort_n it_o be_v a_o behold_v of_o

true_a it_o be_v then_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o all_o the_o judgement_n which_o he_o execute_v in_o the_o world_n but_o let_v we_o beware_v we_o mingle_v not_o our_o

from_o the_o matter_n for_o job_n mean_v to_o declare_v no_o more_o here_o but_o that_o although_o his_o servant_n provoke_v he_o too_o revenge_v when_o they_o see_v man_n do_v he_o harm_n and_o wrong_v yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o refrain_v himself_o and_o yield_v not_o to_o such_o temptation_n and_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a virtue_n in_o he_o to_o be_v less_o move_v with_o the_o wrong_n that_o be_v do_v to_o he_o than_o his_o household_n servant_n be_v there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o he_o take_v his_o own_o wrong_n so_o to_o heart_n as_o other_o man_n can_v pacify_v he_o it_o may_v perchance_o be_v say_v to_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o displeasure_n do_v he_o stay_v yourself_o i_o will_v take_v the_o wrong_n as_o do_v to_o my_o

see_v contrariwise_o that_o job_n servant_n be_v grieve_v when_o man_n do_v wrong_v to_o their_o master_n and_o not_o he_o himself_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n wrought_v in_o he_o after_o a_o singular_a and_o wonderful_a fashion_n howbeit_o we_o must_v mark_v by_o the_o way_n that_o he_o do_v not_o vaunt_v himself_o here_o to_o purchase_v estimation_n but_o be_v set_v forth_o as_o a_o mirror_n and_o pattern_n for_o we_o as_o if_o god_n have_v set_v he_o upon_o a_o scaffold_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v labour_n too_o fashion_n ourselves_o like_a unto_o he_o and_o be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o there_o be_v no_o excuse_n for_o we_o if_o we_o follow_v not_o such_o a_o example_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o although_o we_o have_v temptation_n to_o provoke_v we_o too_o revenge_v ourselves_o of_o our_o enemy_n yea_o and_o that_o man_n also_o do_v prick_v we_o forward_o and_o inflame_v we_o and_o other_o some_o also_o do_v flatter_v we_o in_o our_o sin_n yet_o must_v we_o not_o therefore_o believe_v such_o flattery_n but_o we_o must_v settle_v our_o eye_n and_o mind_n upon_o god_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n do_v so_o easy_o pardon_v and_o justify_v themselves_o when_o god_n condemn_v they_o but_o for_o that_o they_o give_v ear_n too_o such_o as_o come_v too_o pick_v thanks_n by_o tale_n bearing_n and_o why_o be_v not_o that_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v special_o if_o i_o have_v do_v you_o wrong_n why_o shall_v you_o not_o seek_v your_o revenge_n and_o requite_v like_a 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

of_o our_o honour_n and_o profit_n and_o that_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o employ_v themselves_o whole_o for_o we_o let_v we_o suspect_v such_o kind_n of_o folk_n it_o be_v much_o

that_o if_o we_o do_v amiss_o before_o god_n the_o creature_n shall_v be_v against_o we_o and_o bear_v witness_n against_o we_o as_o how_o if_o we_o have_v oppress_v the_o poor_a labourer_n that_o

their_o blood_n now_o it_o be_v a_o great_a cruelty_n in_o we_o when_o we_o think_v not_o how_o the_o earth_n on_o her_o behalf_n have_v open_v her_o bowel_n according_a to_o the_o order_n that_o

scripture_n use_v such_o speech_n we_o see_v the_o hardness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n we_o think_v ourselves_o quite_o discharge_v if_o we_o may_v find_v some_o pretty_a start_a hole_n and_o although_o we_o be_v convict_v of_o they_o before_o god_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o so_o afraid_a as_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o or_o to_o

strike_v upon_o we_o with_o main_n stroke_z as_o upon_o stone_n he_o can_v no_o more_o soften_v we_o or_o make_v we_o to_o yield_v than_o stithy_n or_o anuilde_v except_o it_o be_v by_o force_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o so_o as_o often_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v after_o that_o manner_n namely_o that_o the_o earth_n cry_v out_o and_o that_o her_o furrow_n ask_v

draw_v we_o to_o it_o by_o some_o violent_a mean_n mark_v well_o that_o point_n so_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o continue_v hard-hearted_a when_o we_o see_v our_o lord_n use_v such_o vehemency_n against_o we_o to_o wake_v we_o withal_o but_o at_o leastwise_o let_v we_o then_o enter_v into_o the_o examination_n of_o our_o fault_n and_o be_v cast_v
we_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o will_v make_v ourselves_o more_o righteous_a than_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o will_v not_o say_v it_o neither_o will_v we_o think_v it_o but_o the_o

understand_v by_o a_o example_n behold_v job_n know_v god_n to_o be_v righteous_a yea_o and_o he_o unfeigned_o acknowledge_v he_o so_o to_o be_v and_o as_o for_o his_o own_o part_n he_o acknowledge_v himself_o a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o that_o there_o be_v many_o fault_n too_o be_v find_v in_o he_o yea_o and_o that_o if_o he_o shall_v quarrel_v against_o god_n he_o shall_v be_v vanquish_v a_o

but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n what_o say_v he_o i_o marvel_n why_o god_n afflict_v i_o thus_o what_o fault_n be_v there_o in_o i_o and_o again_o i_o be_o a_o poor_a creature_n full_a of_o

many_o murmur_n and_o grudge_n no_o doubt_n but_o he_o justify_v himself_o above_o god_n and_o why_o for_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o that_o god_n be_v unreasonable_a in_o afflict_v he_o so_o and_o because_o he_o know_v not_o why_o it_o be_v do_v he_o desire_v god_n to_o come_v thither_o as_o his_o adversary_n party_n afterward_o again_o he_o be_v angry_a that_o god_n consume_v he_o not_o out_o of_o hand_n and_o that_o he_o send_v he_o not_o quite_o away_o see_v then_o that_o job_n have_v so_o heady_a passion_n no_o doubt_n but_o in_o so_o do_v he_o make_v himself_o more_o righteous_a than_o god_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o i_o tell_v you_o even_o now_o namely_o that_o we_o shall_v oftentimes_o blaspheme_v god_n in_o our_o passion_n ere_o we_o think_v of_o it_o which_o thing_n ought_v too_o cause_v we_o to_o take_v the_o more_o heed_n that_o we_o give_v not_o our_o passion_n the_o bridle_n lest_o we_o fall_v to_o such_o wretchedness_n as_o to_o blaspheme_v god_n ere_o we_o be_v

submit_v themselves_o too_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n to_o confess_v that_o all_o his_o do_n be_v rightful_a and_o reasonable_a do_v make_v themselves_o more_o righteous_a than_o god_n and_o that_o although_o they_o say_v it_o not_o but_o protest_v a_o hundred_o time_n that_o they_o never_o mean_v to_o think_v it_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o and_o behold_v a_o

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

to_o keep_v they_o from_o stumble_v into_o a_o deadly_a fall_n but_o that_o god_n do_v hold_v they_o back_o by_o affliction_n and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o wâ—e_n fall_v not_o

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

not_o plead_v against_o he_o for_o we_o shall_v always_o have_v the_o worse_a end_n of_o the_o staff_n and_o out_o of_o doubt_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o

the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n who_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o wrath_n and_o undoubted_o although_o god_n wrath_n be_v a_o fire_n that_o consume_v

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

and_o a_o man_n be_v so_o continual_o torment_v as_o he_o be_v like_o a_o dead_a man_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o all_o this_o be_v set_v afore_o we_o but_o it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n to_o waken_v we_o and_o that_o when_o god_n utter_v his_o judgement_n against_o we_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v our_o sin_n we_o shall_v the_o better_o be_v think_v we_o that_o those_o torment_n be_v more_o terrible_a than_o can_v be_v express_v according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v many_o comparison_n in_o that_o behalf_n why_o do_v it_o liken_v god_n to_o a_o lion_n that_o break_v and_o broze_v thing_n with_o his_o tooth_n and_o pluck_v they_o in_o piece_n with_o his_o paw_n it_o be_v not_o to_o attribute_v such_o a_o cruelty_n unto_o god_n as_o be_v not_o convenient_a for_o he_o but_o
i_o not_o serve_v god_n as_o i_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o though_o i_o have_v commit_v some_o fault_n be_v there_o not_o some_o mean_n to_o recompense_v it_o withal_o yes_o and_o i_o have_v do_v this_o and_o that_o behold_v i_o say_v how_o man_n will_v ever_o put_v some_o bar_n in_o god_n way_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v have_v no_o vantage_n of_o they_o thus_o seek_v they_o their_o righteousness_n in_o their_o own_o merit_n but_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o give_v we_o a_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o may_v stand_v before_o he_o he_o use_v a_o contrary_a kind_n of_o speech_n which_o be_v that_o he_o admit_v we_o and_o accept_v we_o for_o righteous_a by_o cover_v our_o sin_n where_o on_o then_o shall_v our_o righteousness_n rest_n on_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o our_o god_n because_o that_o when_o he_o have_v once_o scour_v away_o our_o spot_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n and_o discharge_v we_o from_o death_n and_o damnation_n by_o the_o ransom_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n pay_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o wipe_v out_o our_o sin_n and_o lay_v not_o our_o offence_n to_o our_o charge_n thus_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o by_o god_n messenger_n be_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v or_o accept_v for_o righteous_a and_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v continual_o the_o word_n justify_v it_o may_v well_o say_v that_o we_o find_v favour_n or_o grace_n when_o god_n pardon_v we_o according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v often_o say_v so_o but_o the_o holieghoste_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o use_v such_o word_n and_o why_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v sinner_n god_n must_v needs_o hate_v we_o we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o righteousness_n and_o there_o be_v no_o agreeument_n between_o he_o and_o unrighteousness_n therefore_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v sinner_n we_o be_v loath_o in_o god_n sight_n and_o he_o must_v needs_o reject_v we_o and_o to_o be_v short_a we_o have_v no_o entrance_n unto_o god_n till_o we_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a now_o then_o how_o become_v we_o righteous_a it_o be_v because_o god_n regard_v not_o our_o sin_n but_o bury_v they_o and_o hide_v they_o and_o cleanse_v we_o from_o they_o so_o then_o our_o sin_n be_v wipe_v out_o in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o so_o much_o 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 that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o this_o strain_n furthermore_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v express_o that_o the_o messenger_n which_o recomfort_v we_o be_v one_o among_o a_o thousand_o it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o set_v the_o more_o store_n by_o the_o benefit_n whereof_o we_o seldom_o make_v account_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n of_o the_o mean_a of_o our_o atonement_n or_o reconciliation_n then_o be_v it_o declare_v that_o the_o same_o be_v no_o base_a nor_o common_a thing_n it_o can_v not_o at_o all_o time_n be_v stumble_v upon_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o man_n send_v of_o god_n to_o

that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v how_o beautiful_a be_v the_o foot_n of_o they_o that_o bring_v glad_a tiding_n of_o peace_n now_o by_o the_o foot_n the_o prophet_n

that_o the_o same_o come_v of_o man_n but_o let_v we_o be_v full_o assure_v and_o resolve_v that_o god_n seek_v we_o when_o his_o gospel_n be_v preach_v unto_o we_o god_n must_v be_v the_o builder_n thereof_o such_o goodness_n must_v proceed_v from_o he_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o father_n it_o upon_o man_n it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o unkindness_n wherefore_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o

your_o redeemer_n seek_v to_o join_v you_o and_o knit_v you_o to_o god_n his_o father_n and_o therefore_o be_v you_o glad_a be_v you_o quiet_a and_o be_v you_o at_o rest_n in_o your_o conscience_n hereby_o we_o be_v admonish_v that_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o unquietness_n so_o long_o as_o we_o know_v not_o in_o what_o case_n we_o be_v with_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a will_v seek_v mean_n enough_o too_o make_v themselves_o merry_a and_o in_o good_a faith_n they_o ruffle_v it_o out_o as_o you_o see_v in_o despize_v god_n but_o howsoever_o the_o

speak_v of_o in_o moses_n namely_o that_o yet_o nevertheless_o sin_n be_v at_o their_o door_n and_o there_o wait_v for_o they_o like_o a_o dog_n that_o wait_v for_o his_o master_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o wicked_a may_v ruffle_v it_o out_o but_o yet_o can_v they_o not_o go_v out_o of_o their_o door_n without_o gnaw_v of_o their_o conscience_n and_o god_n must_v still_o hold_v they_o at_o that_o bay_n therefore_o somuch_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o turn_v not_o our_o back_n unto_o god_n ne_o bury_v not_o our_o

we_o be_v glad_a of_o that_o for_o they_o shall_v our_o gladness_n be_v bless_v and_o if_o we_o have_v the_o taste_n that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n it_o will_v sanctify_v all_o our_o joy_n but_o without_o that_o we_o must_v needs_o quail_v and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n for_o we_o to_o rejoice_v mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o for_o the_o second_o we_o have_v also_o to_o mark_v that_o the_o only_a grace_n of_o god_n ought_v too_o suffice_v we_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n mingle_v with_o it_o according_a as_o god_n will_v excercise_n we_o for_o he_o will_v not_o send_v we_o full_a joy_n so_o as_o we_o may_v laugh_v with_o open_a mouth_n as_o they_o say_v yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v content_v with_o this_o certainty_n that_o we_o

that_o boldness_n not_o through_o our_o own_o rashness_n but_o for_o that_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o open_v his_o holy_a mouth_n too_o witness_v his_o love_n unto_o we_o which_o thing_n he_o do_v when_o his_o gospel_n be_v publish_v let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o must_v rest_v whole_o thereupon_o and_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n and_o encumbrance_n yea_o and_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o pass_v further_o and_o to_o surmount_v they_o all_o and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o our_o misery_n and_o tribulation_n see_v that_o god_n love_n be_v print_v in_o our_o

where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v gather_v new_a strength_n and_o be_v restore_v again_o and_o that_o his_o flesh_n shall_v become_v as_o fresh_a as_o a_o young_a child_n for_o it_o

when_o he_o speak_v of_o this_o peace_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v the_o gladness_n which_o in_o give_v we_o through_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o further_o he_o say_v that_o the_o same_o

in_o this_o world_n we_o shall_v have_v many_o trouble_n and_o grief_n yea_o and_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o death_n at_o every_o blow_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o say_a peace_n of_o

without_o this_o call_n upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n we_o know_v not_o right_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o joy_n
long_a time_n and_o prolong_v the_o term_n of_o the_o wicked_a at_o length_n he_o will_v show_v that_o although_o he_o wait_v for_o their_o repentance_n yet_o he_o forget_v not_o their_o misdeed_n but_o register_v they_o before_o he_o and_o pack_v they_o up_o upon_o a_o great_a heap_n to_o increase_v the_o terror_n of_o his_o wrath_n their_o delay_n therefore_o shall_v be_v dear_o sell_v unto_o they_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o abuse_v god_n patience_n who_o forbear_v to_o punish_v they_o at_o the_o first_o to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v have_v leisure_n to_o know_v their_o fault_n &_o to_o amend_v they_o mark_v this_o for_o one_o point_n namely_o that_o god_n execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n at_o the_o first_o day_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v perceive_v with_o our_o eye_n that_o he_o recompense_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o in_o good_a faith_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o he_o shall_v punish_v sin_n forthwith_o as_o they_o deserve_v we_o will_v not_o look_v for_o any_o other_o day_n for_o all_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v in_o this_o world_n and_o then_o where_o be_v the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n concern_v our_o rise_n again_o and_o our_o come_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v short_a there_o shall_v be_v neither_o reward_n for_o the_o good_a nor_o fear_v for_o the_o wicked_a and_o rebellious_a and_o this_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v purposely_o say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o god_n will_v render_v recompense_n or_o requite_v saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n say_v not_o that_o he_o will_v recompense_v from_o day_n too_o day_n but_o that_o he_o will_v recompense_v and_o when_o at_o the_o last_o day_n elius_n say_v be_v not_o against_o this_o sentence_n but_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n will_v render_v he_o presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v true_a namely_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v our_o mind_n at_o a_o stay_n until_o god_n show_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o for_o a_o time_n our_o faith_n i_o say_v must_v be_v exercise_v in_o wait_v patient_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o perceive_v not_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o that_o god_n give_v we_o some_o token_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o show_v we_o some_o notable_a example_n whereby_o we_o be_v enforce_v to_o feel_v that_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o man_n to_o punish_v their_o offence_n if_o god_n give_v we_o any_o record_n of_o it_o let_v we_o be_v content_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n be_v patient_a until_o we_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o as_o now_o reserve_v to_o himself_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v take_v this_o sentence_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o use_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o recompense_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n but_o that_o he_o also_o bear_v with_o they_o who_o he_o punish_v and_o show_v they_o some_o favour_n although_o that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o be_v rigorous_a too_o they_o and_o make_v they_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v their_o judge_n howbeit_o that_o be_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o world_n god_n pass_v not_o to_o punish_v our_o sin_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o they_o do_v deserve_v for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o send_v we_o disease_n want_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o he_o shall_v thunder_v upon_o we_o and_o overwhelm_v we_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o feel_v some_o terrible_a punishment_n but_o he_o shall_v arm_v himself_o in_o his_o mighty_a majesty_n to_o confound_v and_o overwhelm_v we_o for_o what_o be_v our_o sin_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n punish_v not_o sinner_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n in_o full_a measure_n as_o they_o have_v deserve_v it_o but_o bear_v with_o they_o so_o that_o all_o the_o chastisement_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o this_o world_n be_v but_o god_n warning_n in_o give_v leisure_n to_o repent_v not_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v profit_v all_o man_n â–ª_o for_o the_o wicked_a be_v condemn_v already_o because_o they_o be_v past_a amendment_n and_o god_n have_v not_o only_o frame_v their_o indictment_n but_o also_o set_v down_o their_o condemnation_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v execute_v whensoever_o he_o will._n how_o soever_o the_o world_n go_v if_o we_o consider_v well_o the_o chastizement_n that_o god_n show_v we_o in_o this_o world_n all_o of_o they_o be_v nothing_o comparable_a unto_o our_o sin_n but_o he_o give_v we_o respite_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v think_v upon_o they_o thus_o see_v you_o yet_o one_o other_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text._n and_o the_o third_o be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o recompense_v man_n according_a to_o their_o way_n but_o that_o he_o reserve_v power_n to_o himself_o to_o pardon_v those_o who_o he_o list_v when_o he_o intend_v to_o bring_v they_o back_o to_o himself_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v his_o choose_a and_o why_o for_o it_o please_v he_o to_o receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n and_o too_o be_v at_o one_o with_o they_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o bury_v their_o sin_n so_o as_o he_o enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n god_n then_o have_v liberty_n to_o put_v away_o our_o offence_n without_o punish_v they_o and_o yet_o the_o same_o be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o to_o his_o justice_n and_o why_o for_o when_o god_n list_v to_o forgive_v our_o sin_n how_o deal_v he_o he_o nourish_v not_o the_o evil_a in_o we_o but_o he_o touch_v we_o with_o it_o and_o show_v we_o it_o and_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v how_o sore_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o afterward_o give_v we_o a_o mind_n to_o be_v sorry_a &_o to_o mourn_v for_o our_o sin_n when_o we_o be_v so_o touch_v with_o repentance_n we_o become_v judge_n of_o our_o own_o fault_n and_o condemn_v they_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n have_v execute_v his_o office_n for_o it_o be_v much_o more_o when_o a_o man_n condemn_v himself_o than_o if_o he_o be_v condemn_v of_o god_n and_o gnash_v his_o tooth_n and_o abide_v still_o unamendable_a and_o stubborn_a in_o his_o wickedness_n therefore_o god_n forget_v not_o his_o office_n when_o he_o draw_v we_o too_o repentance_n for_o he_o pardon_v not_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n too_o cocker_v we_o but_o contrariwise_o too_o the_o intent_n to_o double_v his_o righteousness_n so_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o may_v feel_v the_o evil_a that_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o may_v make_v his_o mercy_n shine_v upon_o we_o too_o discover_v the_o misery_n wherein_o we_o be_v till_o he_o have_v set_v we_o free_a from_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n forgive_a of_o the_o offence_n of_o his_o choose_a be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o to_o his_o justice_n that_o this_o say_n shall_v not_o be_v always_o true_a that_o he_o recompense_v man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n and_o make_v they_o find_v according_a to_o their_o way_n now_o we_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v that_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o his_o righteousness_n it_o behove_v we_o always_o to_o be_v persuade_v in_o our_o affliction_n that_o we_o suffer_v not_o any_o thing_n wrongful_o but_o that_o god_n have_v reason_n too_o chastise_v we_o and_o that_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o quarrel_v with_o he_o we_o shall_v but_o make_v our_o case_n the_o worse_a and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n do_v so_o bear_v with_o we_o through_o his_o goodness_n as_o we_o have_v always_o cause_n too_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v exceed_o bind_v unto_o he_o for_o that_o he_o use_v no_o extreme_a rigour_n against_o we_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v final_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o although_o he_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n yet_o he_o spare_v we_o and_o that_o although_o he_o show_v himself_o rough_a and_o sharp_a yet_o do_v he_o intermeddle_v his_o goodness_n with_o it_o and_o therefore_o that_o he_o be_v always_o righteous_a insomuch_o that_o man_n shall_v gain_v nothing_o when_o they_o think_v to_o quit_v themselves_o but_o the_o best_a for_o we_o be_v that_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n call_v we_o and_o allure_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o we_o fall_v to_o feel_n of_o our_o offence_n before_o the_o blow_n come_v and_o be_v sorry_a and_o mourn_v for_o they_o so_o as_o god_n may_v be_v incline_v to_o forgive_v we_o lo_n what_o we_o have_v in_o effect_n
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

of_o our_o tooth_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v flatter_v ourselves_o a_o long_a time_n yet_o must_v we_o return_v to_o this_o point_n to_o be_v convict_v namely_o that_o he_o have_v just_a

too_o this_o startinghole_n that_o god_n be_v almighty_a and_o do_v what_o he_o listen_v and_o we_o can_v resist_v he_o and_o that_o he_o deal_v cross_o and_o overthwart_o with_o we_o and_o although_o we_o speak_v not_o so_o yet_o have_v we_o such_o crooked_a thought_n so_o that_o under_o the_o colour_n that_o god_n be_v almighty_a and_o that_o we_o be_v poor_a &_o frail_a creature_n we_o will_v make_v he_o believe_v that_o he_o torment_v we_o to_o sore_o but_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n pervert_v not_o the_o right_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o never_o punish_v man_n

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

of_o such_o as_o be_v not_o privy_a to_o their_o wickedness_n for_o they_o they_o triumph_v and_o dare_v spite_n god_n himself_o but_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v gain_v

when_o we_o have_v eschew_v the_o shame_n of_o the_o world_n we_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n ought_v not_o too_o stir_v our_o filthiness_n nor_o too_o discover_v it_o but_o let_v we_o

that_o the_o holy_a ▪_o ghost_n do_v so_o often_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n will_v judge_v after_o another_o fashion_n than_o mortal_a man_n do_v now_o adays_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o

with_o they_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o must_v go_v far_o otherwise_o before_o god_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n above_o the_o world_n and_o by_o faith_n

under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v pardon_v our_o sin_n and_o hereupon_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o misery_n and_o adversity_n only_o but_o special_o of_o god_n wrath_n which_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o provoke_v and_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v amiss_o let_v we_o not_o begin_v at_o the_o outward_a affliction_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o our_o return_v unto_o god_n shall_v be_v to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v no_o more_o afflict_v we_o but_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o be_v so_o gracious_a as_o too_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n there_o may_v be_v nothing_o in_o we_o that_o may_v kindle_v he_o against_o we_o or_o displease_v he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o chastisement_n and_o correction_n which_o god_n send_v we_o be_v as_o stroke_n of_o a_o spur_n too_o prick_v we_o forward_o and_o when_o he_o see_v we_o dull_a he_o drive_v we_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o repentance_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v at_o this_o point_n to_o say_v well_o i_o be_o content_a so_o god_n withdraw_v his_o hand_n from_o i_o no_o we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o for_o we_o shall_v have_v gain_v very_o little_a if_o we_o get_v nothing_o but_o that_o what_o then_o let_v we_o go_v unto_o our_o god_n and_o pray_v he_o to_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o and_o to_o do_v so_o much_o for_o we_o that_o when_o we_o have_v be_v gentle_o chastise_v we_o may_v know_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o i_o pray_v you_o mark_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n double_v his_o stripe_n and_o strike_v much_o more_o rough_o upon_o we_o why_o so_o if_o a_o man_n be_v chastise_v he_o feel_v that_o god_n visit_v he_o and_o perceive_v all_o thing_n to_o go_v better_o with_o he_o so_o then_o a_o man_n humble_v

seek_v to_o recover_v the_o favour_n of_o my_o god_n he_o think_v it_o enough_o if_o he_o be_v no_o more_o press_v like_o a_o dog_n that_o do_v but_o shake_v his_o ear_n when_o he_o have_v escape_v

still_o so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o light_o man_n dispatch_v themselves_o when_o god_n chastize_v they_o too_o make_v they_o come_v to_o repentance_n for_o they_o may_v well_o have_v some_o conceit_n of_o it_o but_o the_o same_o pass_v away_o out_o of_o hand_n now_o sith_o that_o god_n see_v that_o although_o a_o man_n perceive_v not_o his_o own_o harm_n yet_o the_o filthiness_n do_v settle_v still_o within_o he_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o press_v he_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v know_v that_o the_o disease_n will_v increase_v if_o he_o purge_v it_o not_o to_o the_o bottom_n then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o do_v but_o grow_v worse_o and_o worse_o until_o that_o god_n have_v show_v we_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o only_o desire_v he_o to_o give_v we_o health_n

in_o we_o too_o provoke_v his_o displeasure_n against_o we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o david_n and_o the_o other_o holy_a prophet_n when_o they_o feel_v themselves_o beat_v and_o torment_v at_o god_n hand_n do_v not_o say_v only_o lord_n deliver_v i_o from_o this_o affliction_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o desire_v that_o too_o but_o first_o of_o all_o they_o desire_a god_n to_o

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

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

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

also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n peter_n bring_v we_o too_o these_o consideration_n namely_o that_o god_n do_v once_o destroy_v the_o world_n and_o wipe_v away_o all_o the_o inhabiter_n of_o the_o earth_n by_o water_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v the_o beginning_n thereof_o if_o a_o man_n demand_v whereof_o or_o of_o what_o stuff_n the_o world_n be_v make_v we_o see_v in_o the_o holy_a

and_o confuzednesse_n well_o then_o you_o see_v that_o such_o be_v the_o original_a beginning_n of_o the_o world_n and_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o destroy_v all_o mankind_n wherewith_o arm_v he_o himself_o he_o send_v a_o flood_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o water_n from_o whence_o we_o draw_v our_o life_n and_o which_o have_v be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n work_n of_o the_o whole_a

that_o whereas_o we_o be_v lighten_v by_o the_o sun_n whereas_o we_o draw_v breath_n from_o the_o air_n and_o whereas_o we_o be_v nourish_v and_o feed_v with_o bread_n it_o be_v not_o the_o creature_n themselves_o that_o do_v give_v or_o maintain_v our_o life_n and_o why_o for_o god_n will_v turn_v all_o into_o death_n when_o he_o list_v and_o the_o instrument_n of_o his_o goodness_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o deadly_a sword_n to_o destroy_v we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o when_o god_n send_v we_o either_o hail_n or_o noisome_a rain_n or_o sore_a frost_n his_o show_v of_o himself_o terrible_a in_o those_o thing_n be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v our_o sin_n and_o enter_v into_o ourselves_o beseech_v he_o of_o forgiveness_n for_o our_o offence_n past_a and_o learn_v to_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o he_o hereafter_o and_o to_o obey_v he_o better_o than_o we_o have_v do_v heretofore_o moreover_o whensoever_o we_o have_v feel_v one_o stripe_n of_o his_o hand_n let_v it_o not_o stick_v in_o our_o mind_n for_o one_o day_n only_o but_o let_v it_o serve_v we_o too_o think_v upon_o ever_o after_o have_v god_n send_v we_o any_o drought_n or_o have_v he_o send_v we_o any_o rain_n we_o must_v bear_v it_o in_o remembrance_n and_o not_o look_v too_o have_v it_o begin_v again_o but_o bethink_v we_o thus_o go_v too_o during_o the_o time_n that_o i_o have_v live_v in_o the_o world_n i_o have_v see_v sometime_o that_o the_o rain_n hathè_fw-fr mar_v all_o the_o seed_n that_o be_v lay_v into_o the_o ground_n in_o stead_n of_o corn_n man_n have_v have_v darnell_n

our_o heart_n hop_v in_o our_o belly_n as_o they_o say_v and_o too_o set_v much_o store_n by_o ourselves_o but_o when_o we_o come_v unto_o god_n then_o must_v all_o of_o it_o quite_o quail_v there_o

without_o knowledge_n hereby_o god_n show_v that_o when_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o his_o secret_n we_o must_v bethink_v ourselves_o well_o that_o we_o may_v proceed_v sober_o and_o with_o all_o

must_v we_o not_o go_v to_o it_o so_o unadvised_o for_o we_o do_v but_o wrap_v up_o or_o entangle_v secret_n in_o unskilful_a word_n we_o see_v then_o wherein_o god_n rebuke_v job_n namely_o for_o

although_o he_o be_v not_o quite_o stray_v from_o the_o right_a way_n but_o go_v forward_o still_o to_o the_o true_a mark_n yet_o do_v we_o see_v here_o that_o he_o be_v rebuke_v by_o god_n own_o

that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o be_v to_o dark_a and_o high_a thing_n for_o we_o to_o meddle_v with_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o attain_v to_o they_o furtherfoorth_o than_o god_n list_v

nowadays_o through_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v that_o very_o few_o be_v touch_v with_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n when_o we_o treat_v of_o his_o word_n and_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n every_o one_o fall_v to_o it_o at_o adventure_n and_o every_o man_n shoot_v forth_o his_o verdict_n as_o though_o they_o

to_o treat_v of_o god_n so_o high_a mystery_n which_o ought_v too_o ravish_v our_o wit_n too_o wonder_v at_o they_o and_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o honour_n with_o all_o awfulness_n i_o say_v we_o

his_o will_n whereunto_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a we_o see_v on_o the_o one_o side_n how_o the_o papist_n blaspheme_v god_n wrest_v falsify_v mar_n and_o corrupt_v the_o whole_a holy_a scripture_n so_o as_o they_o stick_v not_o to_o scorn_v god_n and_o all_o his_o word_n and_o why_o for_o they_o never_o taste_v what_o this_o word_n secret_a mean_v also_o there_o be_v drunkard_n 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 the_o holy_a scripture_n yet_o shall_v they_o be_v fain_o to_o come_v too_o this_o point_n that_o god_n secret_a determination_n be_v above_o we_o but_o they_o be_v utter_o dull_a and_o brutish_a 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

show_v we_o here_o that_o when_o we_o talk_v of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o take_v liberty_n too_o plead_v and_o babble_v as_o we_o ourselves_o think_v good_a but_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v revel_v

here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o word_n without_o knowledge_n now_o than_o god_n show_v we_o here_o that_o whensoever_o we_o speak_v of_o he_o and_o of_o his_o work_n it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o secrecy_n a_o high_a matter_n on_o the_o other_o side_n what_o be_v it_o that_o we_o can_v bring_v forth_o what_o be_v that_o little_a which_o we_o can_v conceive_v in_o our_o understanding_n it_o

so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o behove_v it_o we_o too_o mark_v this_o doctrine_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o skill_n nor_o aptness_n in_o we_o to_o treat_v of_o god_n work_n except_o he_o teach_v

his_o mercy_n and_o so_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n bring_v we_o to_o the_o mildness_n of_o utter_a abace_n and_o disable_n ourselves_o in_o all_o thing_n now_o herewithal_o job_n say_v

to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o we_o have_v to_o fight_v against_o our_o fond_a lust_n and_o like_n which_o do_v continual_o make_v we_o too_o hasty_a in_o speak_v insomuch_o that_o our_o tongue_n shall_v still_o be_v sharp_a set_v to_o cast_v forth_o some_o thing_n or_o other_o that_o be_v nought_o worth_a against_o god_n here_o then_o we_o be_v warn_v of_o a_o vice_n that_o be_v great_a

can_v be_v devize_v and_o man_n may_v carry_v we_o upon_o their_o shoulder_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o shall_v be_v nothing_o except_o we_o have_v a_o lively_a root_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o be_v
