man_n mind_n and_o make_v they_o astonish_v at_o it_o ought_v not_o god_n to_o be_v magnify_v therein_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o the_o original_n of_o a_o man_n and_o the_o make_n of_o a_o cheeze_n for_o we_o see_v that_o of_o milk_n after_o it_o be_v set_v together_o and_o curd_v folk_n make_v cheeze_v but_o who_o can_v say_v that_o a_o live_a creature_n a_o creature_n that_o

as_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o likelihood_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v form_v out_o of_o man_n ●eede_n so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v it_o too_o be_v see_v that_o god_n intent_n be_v to_o be_v

whereof_o come_v that_o of_o a_o shameful_a thing_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o man_n be_v loath_a to_o speak_v of_o you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v so_o abse_z we_o in_o our_o beget_n as_o he_o will_v have_v his_o power_n righteousness_n and_o wisdom_n the_o better_o know_v thereby_o lo_o what_o job_n have_v utter_v here_o and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n he_o add_v lord_n thou_o have_v clothe_v i_o with_o flesh_n and_o skin_n now_o do_v these_o thing_n proceed_v of_o man_n seed_n it_o be_v nothing_o but_o infection_n and_o filthiness_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o behold_v how_o skin_n behold_v how_o flesh_n behold_v how_o sinew_n come_v thereof_o which_o be_v thing_n whereat_o all_o the_o world_n may_v be_v amaze_v see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v pack_v so_o many_o

far_o pass_v all_o our_o wit_n and_o reason_n but_o after_o that_o job_n have_v speak_v of_o man_n beget_v he_o add_v well_o then_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o life_n and_o grace_n and_o thy_o visitation_n have_v preserve_v my_o soul_n herein_o he_o show_v how_o god_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o too_o have_v fashion_v he_o in_o his_o mother_n womb_n and_o too_o have_v give_v he_o so_o

body_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a thing_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v magnify_v in_o thy_o work_n true_a it_o be_v that_o even_o in_o that_o a_o man_n may_v see_v thy_o wonderful_a power_n and_o wisdom_n but_o the_o soul_n be_v yet_o more_o that_o pass_v and_o heerewithall_o the_o soul_n have_v not_o the_o common_a life_n such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o brute_n beast_n who_o soul_n have_v power_n to_o

there_o be_v truth_n in_o he_o for_o we_o see_v what_o a_o number_n of_o thing_n the_o mind_n that_o be_v in_o man_n do_v comprehend_v lo_o why_o job_n match_v the_o word_n life_n with_o the_o word_n grace_n mean_v thereby_o that_o the_o brute_n beast_n be_v not_o partaker_n of_o the_o life_n that_o be_v in_o man_n but_o that_o there_o be_v in_o man_n a_o dignity_n far_o great_a and_o of_o much_o more_o value_n and_o successive_o he_o declare_v that_o god_n be_v the_o continuer_n thereof_o thy_o visitation_n say_v he_o or_o thy_o look_v to_o it_o have_v preserve_v my_o soul_n for_o when_o god_n have_v set_v we_o in_o good_a state_n yet_o can_v we_o not_o continue_v unless_o he_o have_v his_o hand_n always_o reach_v out_o over_o we_o what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o that_o we_o may_v continue_v in_o the_o state_n wherein_o we_o be_v once_o establish_v god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o breathe_v his_o power_n into_o we_o without_o cease_v and_o be_v continual_o at_o hand_n with_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o job_n use_v this_o word_n visitation_n or_o look_v to_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v lord_n be_v it_o not_o that_o thou_o look_v upon_o i_o with_o a_o fatherly_a eye_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o i_o shall_v be_v undo_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n but_o thou_o look_v to_o i_o continual_o thou_o know_v my_o need_n and_o thou_o provide_v for_o they_o lo_o how_o i_o be_o preserve_v and_o maintain_v and_o in_o the_o end_n he_o add_v although_o these_o thing_n be_v hide_v in_o thou_o and_o thou_o keep_v they_o in_o thy_o own_o mind_n yet_o know_v i_o well_o that_o it_o be_v so_o with_o thou_o as_o if_o job_n shall_v say_v lord_n i_o know_v these_o thing_n be_v so_o high_a as_o i_o can_v reach_v they_o at_o all_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o needs_o must_v i_o have_v some_o am_z of_o they_o i_o know_v it_o be_v so_o with_o thou_o that_o be_v too_o say_v i_o have_v not_o so_o perfect_a a_o knowledge_n as_o be_v requisite_a but_o yet_o nevertheless_o i_o know_v it_o be_v so_o i_o have_v some_o taste_n of_o it_o on_o my_o part_n which_o suffice_v to_o make_v i_o conclude_v that_o thou_o haste_v lay_v forth_o so_o great_a treasure_n of_o thy_o wisdom_n goodness_n and_o power_n in_o i_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o i_o to_o value_n and_o esteem_v they_o as_o they_o deserve_v but_o now_o i_o see_v how_o thou_o handle_v i_o for_o i_o be_o unhappy_a thou_o haste_v shut_v i_o here_o in_o prison_n and_o i_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o get_v out_o and_o why_o so_o i_o look_v upon_o the_o trouble_n wherein_o thou_o have_v set_v i_o and_o because_o i_o see_v not_o the_o end_n of_o it_o behold_v i_o be_o so_o abash_v that_o although_o i_o be_v righteous_a yet_o dare_v i_o not_o look_v up_o too_o excuse_v myself_o before_o thou_o i_o be_o utter_o bar_v of_o all_o plea_n ▪_o like_o as_o when_o a_o judge_n will_v not_o admit_v any_o allegation_n but_o bar_v the_o party_n of_o his_o plea_n then_o must_v the_o party_n need_v be_v condemn_v notwithstanding_o all_o his_o replication_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o i_o say_v job._n for_o i_o see_v that_o although_o i_o perceive_v not_o myself_o to_o be_v faulty_a yet_o notwithstanding_o thou_o have_v punish_v i_o grievous_o as_o now_o but_o this_o be_v speak_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o excessive_a hartgreefe_n whereof_o we_o have_v treat_v and_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o acknowledge_v therewithal_o that_o if_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o say_a rightfulness_n of_o god_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a unto_o we_o there_o he_o will_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a to_o be_v handle_v so_o true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o can_v not_o conceive_v that_o thing_n in_o his_o own_o natural_a understanding_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v consider_v all_o thing_n well_o he_o must_v needs_o resist_v the_o say_a temptation_n you_o see_v then_o in_o effect_n what_o be_v touch_v here_o and_o now_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v and_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o job_n declare_v here_o concern_v the_o creation_n of_o man_n and_o concern_v god_n grace_n whereby_o they_o be_v maintain_v in_o their_o state_n then_o mark_v it_o for_o a_o special_a point_n when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v create_v we_o as_o of_o clay_n and_o that_o we_o must_v ●e_z bring_v to_o dust_n again_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v withdraw_v his_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v spread_v out_o upon_o we_o and_o this_o must_v teach_v we_o lowliness_n for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n set_v much_o by_o themselves_o and_o every_o one_o of_o we_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o be_v advance_v above_o the_o cloud_n why_o so_o he_o that_o know_v himself_o well_o set_v little_a by_o himself_o but_o man_n through_o desire_n to_o purchase_v estimation_n do_v shut_v their_o eye_n and_o forget_v themselves_o and_o pass_v not_o to_o consider_v what_o they_o be_v nor_o what_o their_o state_n be_v it_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o we_o shall_v love_v so_o well_o to_o beguile_v ourselves_o and_o yet_o we_o do_v so_o nevertheless_o so_o
they_o very_o when_o the_o philosopher_n dispute_v of_o these_o thing_n they_o say_v that_o god_n work_v in_o the_o beget_n of_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v extraordinary_a for_o there_o be_v no_o apparent_a reason_n how_o he_o shall_v take_v so_o perfect_a and_o excellent_a a_o work_n as_o man_n body_n be_v out_o of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o base_a of_o itself_o and_o although_o the_o philosopher_n say_v well_o that_o if_o a_o man_n will_v have_v any_o thing_n in_o nature_n it_o must_v begin_v of_o corruption_n yet_o notwithstanding_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o fair_a beginning_n &_o that_o be_v clean_o contrary_a to_o man_n reason_n it_o be_v true_a but_o it_o be_v god_n will_v to_o show_v they_o that_o even_o the_o wise_a of_o they_o shall_v be_v gravel_v when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o behold_v of_o his_o work_n nevertheless_o god_n grant_v to_o the_o philosopher_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n too_o view_n and_o consider_v many_o thing_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o common_a people_n and_o the_o unlearned_a sort_n but_o god_n mean_v here_o be_v not_o to_o call_v we_o to_o such_o a_o school_n what_o then_o he_o mean_v to_o show_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v available_a for_o our_o salvation_n which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v first_o know_v what_o we_o ourselves_o be_v and_o of_o what_o metal_n we_o be_v make_v and_o second_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o workmanship_n that_o be_v in_o we_o we_o shall_v behold_v the_o shape_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o to_o glorify_v he_o withal_o to_o the_o end_n that_o none_o of_o we_o neither_o great_a nor_o small_a learned_a nor_o ignorant_a and_o simple_a shall_v have_v any_o excuse_n at_o all_o for_o if_o god_n have_v treat_v of_o thing_n overcunning_o the_o great_a clerk_n will_v have_v surmise_v that_o they_o have_v attain_v too_o such_o knowledge_n by_o their_o own_o study_n or_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o great_a discretion_n above_o other_o man_n but_o god_n set_v down_o thing_n here_o in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o there_o need_v no_o descant_v upon_o they_o afterward_o nor_o any_o such_o great_a speculation_n as_o the_o unlearned_a may_v say_v i_o never_o go_v to_o school_n there_o need_v no_o great_a learning_n nor_o skill_n too_o understand_v what_o be_v say_v here_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o great_a clerk_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o blame_v worthy_a if_o they_o perceive_v not_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o ignorant_a person_n ought_v too_o know_v and_o they_o also_o which_o have_v not_o go_v to_o school_n shall_v have_v no_o excuse_n to_o cloak_v themselves_o withal_o because_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n set_v down_o here_o ought_v to_o be_v know_v to_o we_o all_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o inure_v ourselves_o to_o the_o speech_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v here_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o job_n when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v clothe_v man_n with_o skin_n and_o flesh_n and_o knit_v he_o together_o with_o bone_n and_o sinew_n for_o it_o serve_v to_o express_v better_o what_o have_v be_v say_v afore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n and_o that_o which_o we_o see_v in_o man_n body_n you_o see_v the_o seed_n be_v but_o filth_n and_o corruption_n and_o you_o see_v the_o flesh_n be_v lively_a you_o see_v there_o be_v skin_n there_o be_v sinew_n there_o be_v bone_n let_v we_o consider_v a_o little_a what_o manner_n of_o workmanship_n there_o be_v in_o man_n skin_n the_o very_a heathen_a be_v force_v to_o say_v that_o such_o as_o know_v not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o sovereign_a godhead_n may_v be_v convict_v thereof_o even_o by_o one_o only_a nail_n of_o a_o man_n without_o go_v any_o further_o you_o see_v our_o nail_n be_v as_o it_o be_v superfluous_a in_o our_o body_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o we_o look_v well_o upon_o our_o nail_n we_o shall_v see_v a_o wonderful_a workmanship_n in_o they_o for_o they_o serve_v to_o arm_v the_o finger_n that_o they_o may_v be_v put_v to_o work_v and_o hold_v whatsoever_o be_v necessary_a by_o bow_v of_o the_o finger_n therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o a_o man_n nail_n which_o be_v but_o a_o superfluity_n be_v a_o lookingglasse_n of_o god_n providence_n to_o we_o so_o as_o in_o the_o same_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o he_o have_v wrought_v in_o such_o wise_n in_o we_o as_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o we_o to_o know_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o the_o workmanship_n that_o he_o have_v put_v in_o we_o you_o see_v then_o what_o be_v utter_v here_o name_o that_o there_o be_v great_a odds_n between_o the_o seed_n whereof_o man_n be_v beget_v and_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o man_n body_n but_o yet_o the_o chief_a thing_n be_v the_o soul_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v thou_o haste_v clothe_v i_o for_o hereby_o job_n mean_v that_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o man_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o shape_n that_o be_v

needs_o be_v some_o guest_n that_o be_v lodge_v in_o our_o body_n and_o who_o be_v this_o guest_n it_o be_v the_o soul_n we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o man_n be_v the_o soul_n which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o they_o there_o be_v so_o excellent_a workmanship_n in_o the_o body_n as_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v astonish_v at_o it_o and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v then_o of_o that_o which_o surmount_v it_o and_o be_v far_o high_a and_o of_o much_o great_a worthiness_n behold_v the_o degree_n which_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v so_o than_o although_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n as_o whereby_o god_n mean_v too_o teach_v the_o very_a idiot_n be_v rude_a and_o gross_a yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v thing_n still_o in_o they_o which_o be_v able_a to_o move_v we_o thorough_o to_o set_v our_o whole_a mind_n upon_o they_o though_o we_o be_v the_o sharpestwitted_a and_o finesthead_v in_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o job_n express_v further_o what_o the_o

that_o be_v shed_v into_o it_o forsomuch_o then_o as_o god_n have_v quicken_v we_o therein_o he_o have_v utter_v his_o great_a goodness_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o glorify_v he_o the_o more_o therein_o and_o to_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o bind_v unto_o he_o beyond_o all_o measure_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v much_o more_o in_o we_o than_o common_a life_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o that_o same_o move_n it_o be_v much_o of_o itself_o let_v we_o behold_v the_o brute_n beast_n it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o say_v behold_v a_o beast_n shall_v come_v of_o seed_n that_o

excellent_a power_n and_o wisdom_n but_o there_o be_v much_o more_o in_o man_n than_o life_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n say_v express_o that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o life_n and_o

make_v they_o to_o perish_v unhappy_o howbeit_o the_o true_a and_o fit_a meaning_n of_o it_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a man_n shall_v go_v away_o with_o the_o breath_n of_o his_o own_o mouth_n that_o

god_n touch_v they_o and_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o they_o play_v the_o bull_n and_o some_o at_o the_o mouth_n like_o wild_a boar_n we_o see_v then_o that_o they_o have_v a_o great_a breath_n

a_o very_a true_a and_o convenient_a lesson_n that_o howsoever_o the_o wicked_a do_v strive_v against_o god_n and_o how_o full_a of_o pride_n and_o bitterness_n soever_o they_o be_v yet_o shall_v

charge_v to_o have_v conclude_v that_o god_n do_v utter_o root_v out_o man_n when_o he_o take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n job_n i_o say_v make_v no_o such_o final_a conclusion_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v note_v that_o he_o be_v so_o dazzle_v with_o his_o passion_n that_o as_o they_o he_o remember_v not_o that_o man_n continue_v still_o in_o god_n after_o his_o death_n

these_o word_n certain_o job_n know_v well_o that_o god_n do_v man_n a_o singular_a good_a turn_n when_o he_o visit_v they_o and_o if_o a_o man_n have_v ask_v he_o why_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a

tree_n do_v which_o have_v some_o root_n in_o the_o earth_n but_o do_v rot_v away_o quite_o and_o clean_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v the_o good_a that_o god_n do_v we_o in_o that_o it_o please_v he_o too_o preserve_v our_o life_n after_o the_o common_a order_n of_o nature_n and_o also_o keep_v it_o hide_v aloft_o too_o be_v manifest_v again_o in_o time_n convenient_a therefore_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o too_o be_v a_o inestimable_a privilege_n but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o lesson_n let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o although_o man_n be_v immortal_a yet_o they_o have_v it_o not_o of_o their_o own_o strength_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n yield_v the_o title_n of_o immortality_n and_o everlastingness_n peculiar_o unto_o god_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o the_o angel_n then_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o man_n be_v they_o mortal_a as_o the_o brute_n beast_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o feel_v well_o how_o god_n breathe_v power_n into_o our_o soul_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v this_o spiritual_a life_n from_o else_o where_o and_o as_o it_o be_v do_v borrow_v it_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o for_o although_o our_o soul_n come_v not_o to_o nought_o ne_o rot_v away_o as_o our_o body_n do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o they_o be_v alienate_v from_o god_n they_o be_v in_o a_o far_o more_o horrible_a death_n than_o if_o they_o be_v utter_o return_v to_o nothing_o our_o state_n be_v better_a if_o we_o be_v utter_o foredo_v than_o to_o beeseparate_v from_o god_n and_o to_o feel_v he_o to_o be_v against_o we_o then_o must_v god_n be_v fain_o to_o give_v we_o another_o life_n which_o be_v that_o he_o knit_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o as_o he_o may_v live_v and_o reign_v in_o we_o if_o we_o have_v this_o once_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a benefit_n wherein_o we_o can_v joy_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n work_v after_o a_o strange_a fashion_n and_o unknown_a too_o man_n reason_n for_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o the_o state_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v during_o their_o life_n in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v not_o only_o set_v in_o like_a state_n with_o the_o unbeliever_n but_o be_v make_v much_o more_o poor_a and_o miserable_a for_o if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o child_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o be_v afflict_v so_o as_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o mankind_n as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n thus_o you_o see_v after_o what_o sort_n god_n suffer_v he_o to_o be_v deal_v withal_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o colossian_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v dead_a and_o that_o our_o life_n lie_v hide_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o god_n will_v show_v it_o in_o due_a time_n and_o by_o this_o we_o see_v

when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n he_o reprove_v man_n for_o their_o beastliness_n because_o they_o consider_v not_o how_o god_n do_v show_v we_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a

have_v herd_n heretofore_o be_v express_v here_o more_o at_o full_a how_o be_v it_o then_o that_o the_o wicked_a be_v never_o satisfy_v although_o they_o have_v gather_v so_o much_o good_n as_o they_o seem_v ready_a to_o burst_v wherefore_o do_v they_o always_o want_v it_o be_v because_o our_o lord_n prosper_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v in_o their_o hand_n for_o like_a as_o a_o man_n

set_v their_o lust_n on_o fire_n and_o suffer_v they_o too_o have_v a_o rack_n within_o they_o that_o never_o cease_v too_o torment_v they_o and_o the_o devil_n still_o kindle_v the_o fire_n by_o god_n just_a permission_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o they_o that_o regard_v not_o he_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n the_o second_o cause_n be_v that_o like_a as_o god_n increase_v one_o grain_n of_o corn_n to_o the_o nurrish_n of_o those_o that_o be_v he_o and_o make_v it_o to_o multiply_v too_o a_o hundred_o so_o as_o a_o little_a shall_v suffice_v they_o and_o make_v they_o fat_a so_o likewise_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o curse_v and_o wither_v all_o that_o ever_o the_o wicked_a can_v cram_v in_o they_o shall_v eat_v double_a that_o be_v too_o say_v they_o shall_v gather_v enough_o and_o too_o much_o howbeit_o god_n will_v consume_v it_o every_o whit_n as_o it_o be_v say_v to_o the_o prophet_n and_o all_o shall_v go_v to_o naught_o so_o as_o a_o great_a heap_n of_o good_n shall_v vanish_v away_o in_o a_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n root_v up_o that_o which_o man_n make_v great_a account_n of_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o wicked_a can_v enjoy_v that_o which_o they_o possess_v true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o will_v be_v proud_a enough_o according_a also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o rich_fw-fr man_n that_o have_v enlarge_v his_o barn_n my_o soul_n say_v he_o be_v merry_a for_o now_o have_v thou_o well_o wherewith_o too_o feed_v thou_o behold_v thou_o haste_v such_o abundance_n as_o thou_o can_v never_o want_v those_o
world_n without_o redress_n or_o provide_v for_o it_o by_o god_n and_o this_o serve_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n iudgernente_n be_v not_o always_o visible_a nor_o apparent_a at_o the_o first_o brunt_n and_o that_o man_n ought_v too_o hold_v themselves_o quiet_a till_o our_o lord_n stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n because_o he_o know_v the_o fit_a time_n too_o do_v it_o and_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o too_o appoint_v it_o now_o than_o job_n allege_v that_o the_o world_n be_v so_o full_a of_o rakehelles_n that_o the_o poor_a go_v naked_a and_o such_o as_o have_v glean_v have_v not_o a_o bit_n of_o bread_n to_o eat_v but_o man_n snatch_v away_o even_o that_o little_a from_o they_o which_o they_o have_v glean_v of_o the_o rich_a man_n leaning_n whereby_o he_o signify_v that_o such_o as_o have_v wherewith_o do_v abuse_v their_o credit_n and_o riches_n too_o consume_v the_o poor_a utter_o and_o that_o be_v too_o outrageous_a a_o thing_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o god_n provide_v not_o for_o it_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n this_o may_v trouble_v we_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o many_o surmise_n god_n to_o be_v asleep_a when_o he_o work_v not_o after_o their_o like_n but_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o that_o and_o to_o have_v foresee_v it_o long_o afore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o trouble_v and_o offend_v at_o it_o when_o it_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v for_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v so_o and_o yet_o god_n have_v not_o cease_v too_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n howbeit_o the_o time_n seem_v too_o be_v hide_v because_o we_o see_v not_o his_o day_n out_o of_o hand_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o hide_v himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o show_v not_o himself_o willing_a to_o have_v care_n to_o succour_v such_o as_o be_v afflict_v for_o he_o try_v their_o patience_n for_o a_o time_n after_o job_n have_v say_v so_o he_o add_v that_o such_o as_o have_v take_v pain_n yea_o and_o have_v get_v wherewith_o to_o relieve_v themselves_o can_v enjoy_v their_o own_o good_n the_o man_n say_v he_o that_o bath_n press_v out_o the_o oil_n within_o his_o wall_n the_o man_n that_o bathe_v tread_v out_o the_o wine_n shall_v not_o cease_v too_o be_v athirst_a true_a it_o be_v that_o oftentimes_o this_o happen_v through_o god_n just_a punishment_n according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v threaten_v in_o the_o law_n thou_o shall_v plant_v tree_n and_o not_o eat_v of_o their_o fruit_n thou_o shall_v till_o the_o earth_n and_o sow_v corn_n and_o not_o reap_v the_o harvest_n thou_o shall_v dress_v the_o vine_n and_o not_o drink_v of_o the_o wine_n when_o our_o lord_n speak_v after_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v not_o because_o he_o mean_v to_o leave_v thing_n out_o of_o order_n in_o the_o world_n but_o contrariwise_o he_o threaten_v to_o punish_v those_o that_o have_v not_o use_v his_o benefit_n well_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o on_o our_o side_n can_v always_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n why_o god_n dissemble_v the_o matter_n when_o some_o pill_n and_o poll_n and_o othersome_a be_v spoil_v of_o their_o substance_n we_o can_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o for_o god_n also_o intend_v to_o humble_v we_o that_o we_o may_v honour_v he_o and_o confess_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o very_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v so_o dazzle_v as_o we_o can_v discern_v what_o he_o intend_v and_o so_o you_o see_v whereat_o job_n amed_z as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v we_o

redress_v it_o but_o he_o do_v not_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o god_n work_v not_o after_o such_o manner_n as_o be_v know_v unto_o we_o and_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o our_o understanding_n but_o have_v a_o wonderful_a purpose_n which_o pass_v all_o man_n reach_n so_o as_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v blind_v at_o it_o and_o we_o must_v not_o go_v about_o to_o measure_v all_o god_n do_n by_o our_o reason_n for_o than_o shall_v we_o enter_v into_o a_o bottomless_a deep_a but_o we_o must_v pray_v he_o to_o grant_v we_o the_o grace_n too_o content_a ourselves_o with_o that_o

that_o god_n judgement_n be_v not_o rule_v by_o man_n discretion_n but_o be_v secret_a and_o hide_a from_o we_o for_o that_o cause_n he_o add_v that_o man_n cry_v from_o out_o of_o the_o city_n and_o

howbeit_o this_o translation_n also_o that_o god_n put_v no_o stop_n be_v very_a fit_n notwithstanding_o that_o most_o man_n take_v it_o in_o another_o sense_n namely_o that_o god_n do_v not_o any_o

this_o signification_n be_v most_o common_a in_o the_o scripture_n but_o a_o eye_n must_v be_v have_v to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o sentence_n job_n mean_v not_o to_o prove_v here_o that_o all_o god_n do_n be_v ground_v upon_o reason_n and_o uprightness_n howbe_z eit_z that_o he_o do_v very_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v so_o but_o the_o discourse_n that_o he_o make_v tend_v too_o another_o diverse_a end_n which_o be_v that_o we_o be_v amaze_v when_o we_o behold_v the_o state_n of_o the_o world_n why_o if_o it_o be_v in_o we_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o he_o will_v dispose_v thing_n clean_o otherwise_o therefore_o in_o this_o ordinance_n and_o government_n which_o we_o see_v we_o have_v too_o remember_v that_o god_n behave_v not_o himself_o after_o our_o

of_o order_n yea_o for_o a_o time_n but_o although_o he_o wink_v yet_o be_v he_o not_o asleep_a as_o have_v binsayde_v afore_o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o suspend_v our_o judgement_n and_o not_o too_o make_v it_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o god_n punish_v man_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v do_v amiss_o so_o as_o his_o justice_n be_v apparent_a and_o visible_a to_o us._n we_o

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

to_o be_v short_a to_o fight_v against_o our_o own_o affection_n that_o be_v a_o true_a trial_n of_o our_o serve_v of_o god_n therefore_o when_o the_o case_n shall_v stand_v so_o let_v we_o think_v

the_o end_n of_o they_o and_o i_o shall_v profit_v better_o by_o they_o than_o i_o do_v now_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o wisdom_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o faithful_a be_v to_o have_v

of_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o he_o add_v god_n say_v he_o have_v

ever_o he_o think_v it_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o job_n have_v be_v ask_v whether_o god_n seek_v occasion_n against_o he_o to_o handle_v he_o so_o cruel_o he_o will_v have_v answer_v no_o he_o

stay_n of_o himself_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v
the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v afflict_v too_o how_o be_v it_o it_o do_v but_o make_v they_o hard-hearted_a and_o chafe_v against_o god_n and_o so_o little_a fare_n they_o the_o better_a by_o their_o

they_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v their_o sin_n for_o although_o affliction_n be_v for_o our_o profit_n and_o serve_v we_o for_o medicine_n and_o salve_n as_o be_v show_v yesterday_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o appear_v not_o so_o but_o by_o the_o end_n now_o the_o end_n be_v show_v we_o here_o which_o be_v that_o god_n reach_v we_o his_o hand_n assure_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a too_o we_o how_o so_o ever_o the_o world_n go_v notwithstanding_o that_o he_o have_v handle_v we_o rough_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o life_n of_o our_o soul_n consist_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o give_v we_o assurance_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v esteem_v this_o benefit_n as_o it_o deserve_v it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o warrant_a of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v as_o a_o odd_a man_n among_o a_o thousand_o so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v at_o adventure_n but_o be_v a_o treasure_n which_o god_n reserve_v to_o those_o who_o he_o think_v good_a beside_o this_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o god_n in_o promise_a man_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n give_v charge_n and_o commission_n too_o the_o minister_n of_o his_o word_n to_o draw_v they_o from_o death_n according_a as_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v commit_v to_o those_o which_o preach_v the_o gospel_n too_o what_o end_n to_o forgive_v sin_n not_o of_o their_o own_o authority_n but_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n may_v be_v the_o better_o assure_v of_o their_o salvation_n and_o not_o doubt_v but_o god_n receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n therefore_o the_o minister_n tell_v they_o in_o his_o name_n that_o they_o be_v quit_v before_o his_o judgement_n seat_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n of_o a_o man_n when_o he_o send_v he_o a_o good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n and_o give_v his_o appoint_a minister_n the_o say_a charge_n and_o office_n of_o rescue_v and_o deliver_v the_o wretched_a creature_n that_o be_v in_o way_n of_o damnation_n how_o be_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v the_o better_a understand_v here_o be_v three_o point_n to_o be_v mark_v the_o one_o be_v that_o eliu_n show_v we_o the_o cause_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o perish_v that_o be_v one_o point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o office_n of_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o draw_v wretched_a soul_n out_o of_o death_n and_o to_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n and_o the_o three_o be_v that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o do_v but_o by_o express_a commission_n give_v of_o god_n according_a also_o as_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o a_o mortal_a man_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o so_o high_a a_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o our_o ability_n then_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n we_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bring_v we_o here_o to_o the_o wellspring_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o we_o obtain_v of_o god_n when_o he_o forgive_v we_o oursinne_n why_o be_v it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v able_a too_o be_v beforehand_o with_o he_o not_o for_o that_o we_o bring_v any_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o procure_v his_o favour_n towards_o we_o but_o because_o he_o look_v upon_o we_o with_o mercy_n to_o be_v short_a the_o holy_a ghost_n father_v the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n upon_o the_o only_a free_a goodness_n of_o god_n for_o we_o be_v so_o wretched_a as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o damnation_n in_o we_o behold_v it_o please_v god_n to_o succour_v we_o and_o he_o do_v it_o not_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o find_v in_o we_o save_v only_o infinite_a misery_n but_o of_o his_o own_o goodness_n which_o move_v he_o thereunto_o this_o then_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o obtain_v forgiveness_n at_o god_n hand_n we_o may_v not_o imagine_v to_o appease_v he_o with_o our_o own_o merit_n nor_o to_o be_v particauser_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o look_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n of_o we_o he_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o so_o eliu_n mean_v to_o advertise_v we_o that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v that_o goodness_n but_o that_o although_o he_o love_v we_o and_o be_v mind_v to_o provide_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o yet_o do_v he_o not_o always_o give_v we_o that_o feel_n but_o hide_v it_o utter_o from_o we_o as_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o turn_v his_o back_n to_o we_o or_o else_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v not_o too_o look_v upon_o we_o or_o else_o that_o his_o countenance_n be_v lour_a towards_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v it_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v now_o and_o then_o be_v dismay_v and_o seek_v god_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o find_v he_o not_o that_o he_o have_v forget_v they_o or_o reject_v they_o but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o as_o then_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o love_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o eliu_n say_v express_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o when_o he_o send_v we_o witness_v of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o word_n not_o that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o before_o but_o because_o we_o be_v then_o sure_a of_o it_o by_o experience_n and_o do_v as_o it_o be_v take_v possession_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o be_v unknown_a unto_o we_o for_o a_o time_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o office_n of_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o forgive_v sin_n and_o it_o be_v a_o notable_a point_n for_o without_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o forlese_v and_o past_a recovery_n there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a to_o give_v we_o hope_v of_o salvation_n than_o by_o assure_v we_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v afore_o god_n and_o we_o quite_o and_o clean_o discharge_v for_o as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o be_v the_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o so_o long_o as_o our_o sin_n be_v impute_v unto_o we_o god_n must_v needs_o

paradise_n be_v open_v unto_o we_o he_o acknowledge_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o the_o heritage_n of_o heaven_n be_v already_o prepare_v for_o we_o and_o how_o may_v that_o be_v obtain_v by_o have_v good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n too_o preach_v the_o gospel_n unto_o we_o for_o the_o end_n whereat_o god_n am_z be_v atonement_n or_o reconciliation_n with_o we_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v where_o he_o express_v that_o the_o property_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v a_o message_n of_o atonement_n between_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n who_o know_v no_o sin_n but_o be_v the_o unspotted_a lamb_n do_v put_v himself_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o that_o be_v too_o say_v after_o we_o be_v wash_v in_o his_o blood_n and_o have_v put_v ourselves_o under_o the_o
more_o against_o he_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v for_o if_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v confound_v &_o our_o wit_n fail_v we_o in_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v visible_a &_o open_a before_o we_o needs_o must_v

suffice_v we_o to_o conceive_v those_o thing_n by_o faith_n which_o we_o can_v yet_o perceive_v till_o we_o have_v learn_v more_o which_o shall_v be_v when_o our_o good_a god_n have_v bereave_v we_o of_o this_o mortal_a flesh_n draw_v we_o home_o to_o himself_o and_o fashion_v we_o like_a to_o himself_o in_o glory_n it_o be_v say_v immediate_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v shake_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n some_o expound_v this_o that_o the_o sun_n engender_v many_o disease_n and_o therefore_o that_o when_o the_o day_n break_v it_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v a_o cleanse_n of_o the_o

why_o the_o prophet_n malachi_n speak_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v he_o the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n wherein_o he_o take_v his_o similitude_n of_o the_o daysun_n and_o of_o the_o

disease_n good_a man_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o they_o as_o well_o as_o ill_a man_n and_o therefore_o the_o fit_a exposition_n be_v that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v shake_v out_o of_o the_o
