by_o this_o fearful_a hoobub_n or_o whether_o we_o may_v secure_o follow_v that_o which_o we_o have_v hitherto_o practise_v without_o reformation_n of_o our_o life_n it_o be_v find_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o body_n may_v be_v most_o sick_a when_o it_o feel_v no_o grief_n at_o all_o and_o a_o man_n that_o be_v most_o secure_a may_v be_v sudden_o strike_v as_o appear_v by_o herod_n in_o his_o great_a pride_n a_o city_n most_o careless_a and_o wicked_a may_v be_v confound_v as_o sodom_n gomorrha_n seboim_n and_o the_o rest_n at_o when_o they_o least_o suspect_a peril_n be_v destroy_v with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n so_o may_v secure_v kingdom_n as_o be_v the_o secure_a world_n by_o the_o flood_n and_o therefore_o much_o more_o may_v danger_n be_v fear_v when_o there_o be_v apparent_a cause_n which_o yet_o can_v upon_o a_o sudden_a view_n so_o plainelye_o appear_v as_o when_o they_o be_v du_o consider_v our_o superficyall_a thought_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o rumour_n of_o war_n may_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o a_o physician_n time_n who_o look_v neither_o upon_o the_o party_n grieve_v nor_o upon_o his_o state_n and_o what_o counsel_n then_o can_v he_o give_v to_o the_o patient_a and_o therefore_o say_v the_o wise_a man_n a_o disease_n know_v be_v in_o manner_n cure_v and_o as_o it_o fare_v with_o the_o disease_n of_o the_o body_n which_o not_o be_v prevent_v may_v sudden_o kill_v the_o person_n so_o a_o common_a wealth_n disease_v by_o unpunished_a vice_n and_o overmuch_o liberty_n stand_v in_o danger_n of_o sudden_a subversion_n these_o cause_n therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v both_o know_v and_o cure_v foreseen_a mischief_n hurt_v not_o so_o much_o as_o such_o as_o come_v unlooked_v for_o and_o therefore_o wisdom_n premeditate_v by_o discretion_n before_o what_o may_v happen_v afterward_o but_o security_n change_n which_o deem_v all_o part_n of_o the_o body_n well_o may_v be_v sudden_o touch_v with_o a_o fever_n which_o grow_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o superfluous_a and_o gross_a humour_n that_o have_v grow_v by_o fullness_n of_o the_o best_a daynties_n so_o it_o fall_v out_o with_o common_a wealth_n which_o foster_v security_n be_v full_a of_o god_n blessing_n whereby_o they_o become_v sick_a of_o superfluous_a abundance_n &_o loose_v the_o true_a taste_n of_o the_o best_a thing_n and_o so_o fall_v sudden_o every_o thing_n under_o the_o sun_n have_v a_o change_n a_o time_n to_o grow_v and_o a_o time_n to_o wither_v a_o time_n to_o bud_n and_o a_o time_n to_o be_v ripe_a &_o when_o a_o common_a wealth_n be_v rise_v to_o the_o top_n of_o all_o glory_n than_o it_o be_v good_a that_o all_o man_n but_o the_o magistrate_n especial_o look_v into_o the_o superfluitye_n and_o disease_n thereof_o and_o have_v du_o consider_v all_o thing_n to_o seek_v how_o to_o root_v out_o the_o superfluous_a and_o to_o foster_v and_o cherish_v the_o best_a humour_n himself_o not_o only_o in_o a_o generality_n but_o every_o private_a man_n in_o himself_o lest_o every_o thing_n have_v his_o course_n free_o in_o the_o commonwealth_n the_o violence_n of_o type_n mischief_n breed_v a_o loathe_n thereof_o as_o it_o be_v in_o god_n who_o can_v abide_v such_o negligence_n in_o any_o commonwealth_n especial_o of_o christian_n no_o more_o than_o he_o can_v abide_v adam_n and_o eve_n in_o paradise_n after_o they_o have_v sin_v us._n and_o sure_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o ancient_a disobedience_n of_o they_o lie_v yet_o covert_o cover_v with_o the_o ash_n of_o drowsy_a security_n not_o only_o in_o every_o private_a man_n but_o in_o every_o call_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v our_o commonwealth_n howsoever_o it_o seem_v to_o go_v in_o government_n and_o true_a religion_n before_o other_o nation_n require_v a_o kind_n of_o necessity_n that_o this_o fire_n be_v quench_v before_o it_o flame_n forth_o to_o the_o consumption_n of_o our_o whole_a nation_n if_o therefore_o we_o look_v to_o continue_v safe_a howsoever_o slender_a account_n we_o seem_v to_o make_v of_o these_o spanish_a vaunt_n we_o must_v look_v both_o every_o man_n into_o himself_o and_o the_o magistrate_n into_o the_o whole_a state_n so_o no_o doubt_n if_o they_o be_v not_o partyall_a in_o their_o search_n they_o shall_v find_v in_o every_o man_n in_o his_o particular_a examination_n of_o his_o own_o desert_n as_o also_o the_o magistrate_n in_o their_o general_a view_n of_o the_o whole_a cause_n enough_o whereby_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o god_n may_v without_o injury_n unto_o any_o one_o not_o only_a fray_n we_o with_o this_o hoobub_n but_o suffer_v we_o to_o taste_v of_o the_o sword_n of_o this_o ambitious_a and_o blasphemous_a nation_n to_o begin_v the_o examination_n although_o i_o be_v the_o unworthy_a to_o call_v man_n thereunto_o yet_o in_o regard_n i_o be_o the_o worst_a i_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v and_o in_o deed_n i_o find_v that_o in_o myself_o whereof_o will_v god_n all_o other_o be_v free_a namely_o sufficient_a cause_n why_o i_o wretch_n shall_v be_v rouse_v up_o and_o pursue_v by_o this_o pernicious_a generation_n &_o if_o i_o shall_v flatter_v myself_o to_o deserve_v to_o be_v free_v from_o their_o tyranny_n if_o i_o look_v unto_o my_o disobedience_n to_o god_n i_o shall_v deceive_v myself_o and_o yet_o my_o imperfection_n perchance_o no_o far_o see_v in_o the_o world_n than_o of_o such_o as_o seem_v to_o stand_v in_o this_o dangerous_a time_n as_o man_n worthy_a for_o their_o honest_a zealous_a &_o religious_a behaviour_n in_o their_o own_o conceit_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o their_o neighbour_n and_o therefore_o sure_o it_o will_v hardly_o appear_v that_o we_o have_v deserve_v to_o be_v punish_v if_o we_o look_v no_o further_o than_o into_o other_o man_n &_o so_o let_v ourselves_o pass_v like_o the_o escape_v goat_n for_o if_o every_o one_o covet_v to_o find_v the_o cause_n in_o other_o and_o pray_v not_o into_o himself_o there_o will_v be_v never_o a_o free_a man_n yet_o all_o free_a for_o every_o man_n will_v condemn_v all_o but_o himself_o and_o yet_o though_o none_o will_v condemn_v himself_o he_o shall_v be_v condemn_v of_o all_o and_o therefore_o let_v every_o man_n acknowledge_v himself_o worthy_a to_o be_v punish_v so_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v condemn_v by_o their_o own_o mouth_n and_o seek_v no_o further_o witness_v and_o this_o no_o doubt_n be_v the_o way_n to_o find_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n have_v call_v this_o nation_n against_o we_o other_o as_o jonah_n be_v find_v guilty_a by_o cast_v of_o lot_n for_o doubtless_o if_o we_o seem_v to_o seek_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o danger_n without_o ourselves_o we_o do_v wrong_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n who_o be_v not_o as_o envious_a man_n that_o will_v strike_v one_o for_o a_o other_o but_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_v shall_v die_v lo_o than_o it_o be_v sin_n that_o draw_v on_o this_o hoobub_n to_o pursue_v we_o hoobub_n even_o to_o our_o subversion_n if_o we_o repent_v not_o of_o our_o sundry_a evil_n we_o be_v call_v christian_n and_o our_o adversary_n antichristian_n but_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o fruit_n of_o both_o a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o doubt_n who_o be_v like_v christ_n by_o the_o outward_a fruit_n and_o sure_o for_o that_o we_o have_v the_o fire_n with_o we_o and_o yet_o show_v no_o heat_n for_o that_o we_o be_v true_a gospeler_n in_o knowledge_n if_o we_o show_v ourselves_o hypocrite_n in_o practice_n us._n it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o our_o profession_n will_v not_o excuse_v we_o then_o must_v our_o fruit_n approve_v we_o or_o reprove_v us._n it_o be_v as_o true_a as_o the_o gospel_n be_v true_a that_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n and_o as_o true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o true_a faith_n without_o it_o and_o no_o salvation_n without_o faith_n in_o christ_n which_o faith_n if_o it_o be_v not_o lively_a and_o bring_v forth_o not_o only_a leaf_n but_o fruit_n it_o be_v not_o only_o like_o the_o fig_n tree_n that_o christ_n curse_v but_o a_o tree_n that_o shall_v be_v hew_v down_o and_o cast_v into_o the_o fire_n so_o shall_v we_o stand_v in_o great_a danger_n in_o our_o
