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 see_v with_o our_o eye_n but_o in_o that_o which_o dwell_v within_o it_o for_o what_o import_v this_o manner_n of_o speech_n and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o say_v thou_o haste_v clothe_v i_o it_o must_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 excellency_n and_o worthiness_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v when_o he_o say_v thou_o haste_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 when_o he_o say_v thou_o haste_v give_v i_o life_n he_o show_v that_o the_o body_n be_v nothing_o not_o though_o it_o have_v so_o goodly_a and_o wonderful_a workmanship_n in_o it_o if_o it_o have_v not_o the_o liveliness_n 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 be_v too_o say_v of_o corruption_n and_o although_o it_o have_v not_o that_o which_o be_v in_o man_n i_o mean_v even_o as_o touch_v the_o body_n yet_o have_v god_n put_v this_o movingnesse_n into_o it_o we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o nourishment_n of_o beast_n when_o they_o have_v eat_v grass_n the_o same_o turn_v into_o blood_n into_o milk_n and_o into_o flesh_n and_o afterward_o when_o the_o beast_n be_v kill_v they_o feed_v we_o likewise_o when_o we_o behold_v all_o these_o thing_n even_o that_o very_a beastlife_n as_o a_o man_n may_v term_v it_o bear_v witness_n of_o god_n most_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 grace_n for_o hereby_o he_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v match_v with_o understanding_n and_o reason_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o saint_n john_n that_o life_n be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n when_o john_n declare_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v quicken_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o say_v external_a wisdom_n which_o be_v in_o god_n be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o life_n and_o power_n he_o show_v that_o man_n have_v not_o only_a life_n so_o as_o they_o can_v eat_v and_o drink_v but_o say_v he_o there_o be_v also_o a_o light_n shine_v in_o they_o by_o this_o word_n light_n he_o mean_v that_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v imprint_v in_o

upon_o god_n pure_o and_o that_o be_v by_o refer_v his_o life_n too_o the_o law_n because_o that_o there_o our_o lord_n show_v both_o how_o we_o must_v serve_v he_o and_o how_o we_o must_v be_v conversant_a among_o man_n insomuch_o that_o we_o be_v often_o speak_v to_o of_o it_o and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n to_o be_v able_a to_o guide_v our_o life_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o it_o may_v please_v god_n we_o see_v then_o what_o job_n intent_n be_v namely_o to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v endeavour_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o to_o walk_v with_o his_o neighbour_n without_o hurt_v or_o annoy_v of_o any_o body_n true_a it_o be_v that_o here_o he_o set_v down_o but_o two_o particular_n howbeit_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o comprehend_v the_o whole_a for_o when_o he_o say_v there_o be_v no_o outrage_n nor_o excess_n in_o his_o hand_n it_o import_v as_o much_o as_o that_o he_o have_v live_v without_o give_v any_o man_n cause_n to_o complain_v of_o he_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v he_o have_v not_o procure_v they_o any_o harm_n or_o loss_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o may_v do_v some_o wrong_n and_o injury_n without_o any_o show_n of_o violence_n but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o when_o man_n give_v themselves_o too_o harmfulness_n they_o start_v out_o of_o their_o bound_n and_o strain_v themselves_o too_o rack_n one_o to_o pill_v another_o and_o to_o devour_v the_o three_o therefore_o job_n purposely_o say_v that_o there_o have_v be_v no_o raven_n in_o his_o hand_n as_o much_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o second_o say_v for_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n consist_v not_o only_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n but_o for_o so_o much_o as_o that_o be_v the_o chief_a point_n under_o that_o particular_a job_n have_v comprehend_v the_o whole_a now_o than_o we_o see_v after_o what_o sort_n our_o life_n may_v be_v allowable_a afore_o god_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n when_o it_o be_v due_o refer_v to_o his_o law_n for_o god_n will_v not_o have_v man_n to_o live_v after_o their_o own_o swinge_n nor_o too_o delight_n in_o this_o or_o that_o as_o they_o think_v best_a themselves_o nor_o to_o be_v their_o own_o judge_n but_o he_o himself_o will_v have_v the_o whole_a authority_n over_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v govern_v according_a to_o his_o word_n so_o then_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o labour_v not_o in_o vain_a let_v we_o learn_v too_o walk_v according_a to_o god_n commandment_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n very_o this_o be_v oftentimes_o show_v we_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o the_o world_n do_v always_o run_v astray_o and_o man_n delight_v to_o much_o in_o their_o own_o fancy_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v so_o often_o send_v we_o to_o this_o point_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v not_o after_o our_o own_o like_n but_o according_a as_o god_n have_v command_v again_o whereas_o under_o the_o word_n prayer_n here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o whole_a service_n of_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o weigh_v the_o same_o thorough_o for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n think_v not_o at_o all_o of_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o we_o see_v how_o the_o world_n discharge_v itself_o of_o it_o very_o light_o nevertheless_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n the_o chief_a point_n of_o it_o which_o it_o set_v down_o to_o we_o be_v prayer_n and_o have_v this_o be_v observe_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o pray_v have_v be_v much_o more_o esteem_v among_o man_n so_o as_o they_o will_v not_o have_v swerve_v one_o way_n nor_o other_o but_o have_v follow_v that_o which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n show_v but_o now_o clean_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o man_n have_v take_v such_o a_o scope_n in_o pray_v unto_o god_n as_o there_o be_v no_o reckon_v make_v of_o know_v what_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a too_o be_v pray_v for_o or_o in_o what_o manner_n but_o every_o man_n step_n to_o it_o like_v blind_a bayarde_n and_o come_v not_o dutiful_o unto_o god_n and_o whence_o proceed_v this_o overweening_n because_o we_o take_v not_o prayer_n too_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o so_o great_a estimation_n as_o it_o be_v for_o if_o we_o take_v it_o for_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o god_n service_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o will_v go_v to_o it_o with_o far_o great_a heartiness_n than_o we_o do_v again_o we_o see_v that_o in_o stead_n of_o pray_v unto_o god_n man_n be_v give_v to_o pray_v to_o saint_n decease_v and_o the_o world_n which_o yield_v that_o thing_n to_o creature_n which_o be_v peculiar_a unto_o god_n think_v not_o the_o same_o to_o be_v otherwise_o than_o good_a if_o a_o man_n ask_v the_o papist_n why_o they_o term_v the_o virgin_n marie_n their_o hope_n of_o salvation_n why_o they_o flee_v to_o she_o and_o why_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v his_o several_a saint_n to_o be_v his_o patron_n if_o a_o man_n tell_v they_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n against_o god_n it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o make_v they_o believe_v so_o and_o why_o because_o they_o never_o know_v nor_o taste_v of_o that_o which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n utter_v so_o diligent_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o to_o serve_v god_n aright_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o sure_o the_o great_a and_o honourable_a service_n that_o he_o require_v of_o we_o and_o the_o great_a and_o soveraine_v worship_n that_o he_o allow_v be_v for_o we_o too_o have_v our_o recourse_n unto_o he_o now_o have_v the_o papist_n consider_v this_o will_v it_o not_o have_v yrk_v they_o to_o have_v go_v to_o a_o dead_a creature_n and_o to_o say_v i_o worship_v god_n or_o rather_o i_o yield_v he_o his_o due_n prayer_n be_v the_o principal_a service_n that_o he_o

therefore_o ought_v we_o to_o mark_v thorough_o what_o be_v contain_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o by_o this_o word_n prayer_n job_n mean_v to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v serve_v god_n pure_o and_o so_o if_o man_n will_v now_o give_v proof_n of_o their_o uprightness_n let_v they_o not_o allege_v their_o gewgaw_n as_o the_o hypocrite_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v say_v have_v we_o not_o fast_v have_v we_o not_o do_v this_o or_o that_o but_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o our_o lord_n will_v have_v we_o rule_v after_o his_o law_n and_o he_o will_v have_v the_o whole_a authority_n over_o we_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n furthermore_o we_o have_v also_o to_o note_n that_o our_o prayer_n shall_v never_o be_v pure_a before_o god_n nor_o acceptable_a unto_o he_o unless_o our_o hand_n be_v clear_a from_o violence_n and_o why_o if_o we_o be_v cruel_a and_o wrangle_a with_o our_o neighbour_n god_n put_v we_o back_o and_o we_o have_v no_o access_n unto_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o many_o do_v give_v the_o adventure_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n although_o they_o be_v full_a of_o raven_a and_o have_v trouble_v one_o and_o torment_v a_o other_o yet_o cease_v they_o not_o to_o

in_o pleding_z against_o he_o so_o they_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v brief_o to_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o this_o story_n be_v that_o god_n have_v such_o a_o sovereignty_n over_o his_o creature_n as_o he_o may_v dispose_v of_o they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o that_o when_o he_o show_v any_o rigour_n which_o we_o think_v strange_a at_o the_o first_o blush_v yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v hold_v our_o peace_n and_o not_o grudge_v but_o rather_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o wait_v till_o he_o show_v we_o wherefore_o he_o chastize_v we_o and_o here_o withal_o we_o have_v to_o behold_v the_o patientness_n of_o the_o man_n that_o be_v set_v here_o before_o our_o eye_n according_a as_o s._n james_n exhort_v we_o for_o when_o god_n show_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v all_o the_o misery_n that_o he_o shall_v send_v upon_o we_o we_o can_v well_o afford_v to_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n so_o to_o do_v but_o yet_o there_o withal_o we_o allege_v our_o own_o frailty_n and_o we_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o that_o ought_v to_o serve_v for_o our_o excuse_n wherefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o have_v such_o example_n as_o show_v unto_o we_o how_o there_o have_v be_v other_o man_n as_o frail_a as_o we_o who_o nevertheless_o have_v resist_v temptation_n and_o continue_v steadfast_o in_o obedience_n unto_o god_n although_o he_o have_v scourge_v they_o even_o with_o extremity_n thus_o have_v we_o here_o a_o excellent_a mirror_n moreover_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v not_o only_o the_o patience_n of_o job_n but_o also_o the_o issue_n of_o it_o as_o saint_n james_n say_v for_o have_v job_n continue_v in_o misery_n albeit_o that_o he_o have_v have_v more_o than_o angelical_a strength_n in_o himself_o yet_o have_v that_o be_v no_o happy_a issue_n but_o when_o we_o see_v he_o be_v not_o disappoint_v of_o his_o hope_n and_o that_o he_o find_v grace_n because_o he_o humble_v himself_o before_o god_n upon_o the_o sight_n of_o such_o a_o issue_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o better_a than_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n and_o to_o suffer_v peaceable_o whatsoever_o he_o send_v we_o until_o he_o deliver_v we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n and_o herewithal_o beside_o the_o story_n we_o have_v to_o consider_v the_o doctrine_n comprise_v in_o this_o book_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n concern_v those_o that_o come_v unto_o job_n under_o pretence_n to_o comfort_v he_o and_o yet_o torment_v he_o much_o more_o than_o do_v his_o own_o misery_n and_o concern_v the_o answer_n that_o he_o use_v to_o repulse_v their_o check_n wherewith_o it_o seem_v they_o will_v have_v daunt_v he_o but_o first_o of_o all_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o affliction_n we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o although_o god_n send_v they_o and_o that_o they_o proceed_v from_o he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o devil_n also_o stir_v they_o up_o in_o we_o according_a as_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o have_v war_n against_o the_o spiritual_a power_n for_o when_o the_o devil_n have_v once_o kindle_v the_o fire_n he_o have_v also_o his_o bellows_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o find_v man_n that_o be_v fit_a to_o prick_v we_o always_o forward_o both_o to_o feed_v the_o evil_a and_o to_o increase_v it_o so_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v how_o job_n beside_o the_o misery_n that_o he_o endure_v be_v also_o torment_v both_o by_o his_o friend_n and_o by_o his_o wife_n and_o above_o all_o by_o such_o as_o come_v to_o tempt_v he_o spiritual_o for_o i_o call_v it_o a_o spiritual_a temptation_n not_o only_a when_o we_o be_v smite_v and_o afflict_v in_o our_o body_n but_o also_o when_o the_o devil_n come_v to_o put_v a_o toy_n in_o our_o head_n that_o god_n be_v our_o deadly_a enemy_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o resort_v any_o more_o unto_o he_o but_o rather_o to_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o henceforth_o he_o will_v not_o show_v we_o any_o mercy_n see_v whereunto_o all_o the_o

that_o god_n will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o he_o sure_o these_o spiritual_a battle_n be_v far_o more_o hard_a to_o be_v bear_v than_o all_o the_o misery_n and_o adversity_n that_o we_o can_v suffer_v by_o any_o persecution_n and_o yet_o do_v god_n let_v satan_n ninne_v so_o far_o upon_o the_o bridle_n that_o he_o also_o bring_v his_o servant_n with_o he_o who_o give_v we_o such_o assault_n as_o we_o see_v job_n have_v endure_v mark_v well_o this_o for_o a_o special_a point_n but_o here_o withal_o we_o have_v further_a to_o mark_v that_o in_o all_o this_o disputation_n job_n maintain_v a_o good_a case_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v more_o that_o job_n maintain_v a_o good_a quarrel_n do_v handle_v it_o il_fw-fr and_o that_o the_o other_o set_v forth_o a_o unjust_a matter_n do_v convey_v it_o well_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o will_v be_v as_o a_o key_n to_o open_v unto_o we_o all_o this_o whole_a book_n how_o be_v it_o that_o job_n maintain_v the_o good_a case_n it_o be_v in_o that_o he_o know_v that_o god_n do_v not_o ever_o punish_v man_n according_a too_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o sin_n but_o have_v his_o secret_a judgement_n whereof_o he_o make_v we_o not_o privy_a and_o therefore_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o wait_v till_o he_o reveal_v unto_o we_o for_o what_o cause_n he_o do_v this_o or_o that_o thus_o be_v he_o in_o this_o whole_a discourse_n persuade_v that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o punish_v man_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o sin_n â–ª_o and_o thereupon_o assure_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o man_n reject_v of_o god_n as_o they_o will_v make_v he_o to_o believe_v behold_v here_o a_o good_a and_o true_a case_n notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v ill_o handle_v for_o job_n range_v here_o out_o of_o his_o bound_n and_o

to_o receive_v it_o as_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n himself_o have_v utter_v it_o for_o it_o be_v plain_a truth_n they_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o religion_n they_o treat_v of_o god_n providence_n they_o treat_v of_o his_o justice_n they_o treat_v of_o man_n sin_n thus_o see_v we_o a_o doctrine_n which_o we_o must_v receive_v without_o gainsay_v and_o yet_o the_o drift_n of_o it_o be_v evil_a namely_o for_o that_o these_o man_n labour_v thereby_o to_o cast_v job_n into_o despair_n and_o to_o drown_v he_o altogether_o but_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o when_o we_o have_v a_o sure_a ground_n it_o behoove_v we_o to_o look_v that_o we_o build_v upon_o it_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o all_o thing_n be_v answerable_a thereunto_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o build_v well_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o found_v the_o church_n upon_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o have_v such_o a_o conformity_n in_o it_o as_o those_o that_o come_v after_o he_o shall_v not_o make_v any_o other_o foundation_n either_o of_o chaff_n or_o of_o stubble_n or_o of_o any_o other_o brittle_a stuff_n but_o have_v a_o good_a foundation_n steadfast_a and_o substantial_a ready_a lay_v to_o their_o hand_n likewise_o in_o our_o whole_a life_n we_o have_v to_o look_v unto_o this_o point_n namely_o that_o if_o we_o be_v ground_v upon_o good_a and_o rightful_a reason_n it_o behove_v each_o one_o of_o we_o to_o stand_v upon_o his_o guard_n that_o he_o reel_v not_o ne_o waver_v not_o one_o way_n or_o other_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o easy_a than_o to_o mar_v a_o good_a and_o rightful_a matter_n so_o sinful_a be_v our_o nature_n as_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n at_o all_o time_n god_n of_o his_o grace_n may_v give_v we_o a_o good_a case_n and_o yet_o we_o may_v be_v so_o sting_v by_o our_o enemy_n that_o we_o can_v not_o hold_v ourselves_o within_o our_o
a_o man_n will_v say_v they_o be_v petty_a angel_n and_o no_o man_n can_v find_v fault_n with_o they_o but_o what_o for_o that_o they_o regard_v not_o god_n but_o rather_o despise_v he_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n purpose_v here_o to_o commend_v his_o servant_n job_n match_v these_o two_o thing_n together_o namely_o that_o he_o have_v live_v upright_o among_o man_n and_o also_o that_o he_o have_v the_o say_a devoutness_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n a_o true_a mind_n too_o worship_v the_o live_a god_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o he_o dwell_v here_o in_o the_o

it_o be_v say_v that_o job_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o evil_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o think_v to_o serve_v god_n without_o trouble_n for_o we_o shall_v be_v provoke_v to_o do_v evil_a on_o all_o side_n how_o then_o shall_v we_o walk_v as_o it_o become_v we_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o endeavour_n to_o withdraw_v ourselves_o from_o evil_a yea_o even_o from_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v within_o we_o if_o the_o evil_a be_v but_o near_o unto_o we_o yet_o will_v it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o be_v heedful_a in_o withdraw_a ourselves_o for_o if_o we_o smell_v any_o stench_n in_o continent_o we_o turn_v away_o our_o face_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o when_o satan_n seek_v to_o poison_v we_o and_o all_o be_v full_a of_o infection_n have_v we_o not_o good_a cause_n to_o withdraw_v ourselves_o but_o as_o i_o say_v the_o evil_a be_v within_o we_o it_o be_v as_o a_o burn_a oven_n and_o look_v how_o many_o wicked_a lust_n there_o be_v to_o carry_v we_o away_o so_o many_o

to_o be_v the_o more_o careful_a to_o put_v this_o doctrine_n here_o in_o ure_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n of_o withdraw_a ourselves_o from_o evil_a and_o how_o shall_v we_o withdraw_v ourselves_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o ourselves_o and_o of_o our_o wicked_a affection_n which_o serve_v to_o turn_v we_o aside_o from_o god_n then_o afterward_o let_v we_o beware_v of_o lewd_a

have_v so_o dispose_v all_o thing_n to_o serve_v we_o and_o to_o succour_v our_o necessity_n it_o seem_v that_o god_n bear_v we_o such_o a_o love_n as_o he_o put_v all_o that_o he_o have_v under_o our_o hand_n say_v i_o withhold_v nothing_o from_o you_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o wretchedness_n and_o poorness_n of_o man_n yield_v a_o great_a beauty_n to_o god_n goodness_n and_o mercy_n than_o if_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o that_o can_v provoke_v he_o to_o do_v we_o good_a thus_o you_o see_v david_n plain_n mean_v and_o this_o thing_n be_v special_o fulfil_v in_o

of_o david_n we_o have_v good_a cause_n too_o exalt_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n when_o we_o see_v that_o have_v begin_v first_o in_o adam_n and_o afterward_o in_o jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o all_o

the_o faithful_a also_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v utter_o overwhelm_v then_o may_v it_o seem_v that_o god_n be_v mind_v to_o confound_v his_o own_o servant_n without_o

we_o see_v here_o how_o sophar_n shole_v out_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n and_o the_o wicked_a sort_n from_o the_o faithful_a for_o affliction_n may_v well_o light_v upon_o both_o alike_o but_o

continue_v his_o favour_n upon_o their_o child_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o god_n bear_v we_o such_o love_n as_o he_o be_v not_o content_a nor_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o our_o

likewise_o we_o see_v then_o how_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v describe_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o be_v that_o when_o he_o have_v receive_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o

cause_n to_o repose_v ourselves_o on_o he_o for_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o if_o for_o our_o sake_n he_o continue_v his_o favour_n towards_o they_o that_o succeed_v we_o by_o a_o more_o strong_a reason_n we_o shall_v always_o find_v he_o a_o merciful_a father_n aught_v we_o then_o to_o mistrust_v he_o and_o his_o goodness_n see_v that_o he_o be_v so_o favourable_a as_o to_o have_v a_o care_n over_o they_o also_o that_o come_v of_o we_o now_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n curse_v the_o race_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o how_o for_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o guide_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o all_o must_v go_v to_o naught_o and_o herein_o we_o have_v none_o occasion_n to_o murmur_v and_o grudge_v against_o god_n as_o there_o be_v some_o that_o will_v think_v it_o very_o strange_a what_o lie_v they_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o god_n shall_v punish_v the_o child_n for_o the_o father_n sake_n be_v it_o not_o say_v that_o he_o that_o sin_v shall_v bear_v his_o own_o iniquity_n and_o that_o the_o son_n shall_v not_o be_v punish_v for_o the_o father_n sake_n yes_o true_o and_o that_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o the_o son_n have_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v as_o though_o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o that_o god_n notwithstanding_o that_o the_o punishment_n be_v due_a unto_o his_o father_n cause_v it_o to_o fall_v upon_o he_o who_o be_v innocent_a and_o guiltless_a for_o that_o can_v not_o happen_v but_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v requite_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n into_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o son_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o do_v they_o any_o wrong_n but_o it_o be_v for_o that_o he_o leave_v the_o wicked_a there_o now_o when_o we_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n what_o can_v we_o do_v but_o mischief_n thus_o we_o see_v then_o that_o god_n show_v not_o such_o favour_n to_o the_o wicked_a as_o too_o give_v they_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o so_o the_o devil_n must_v needs_o reign_v over_o they_o and_o stir_v they_o up_o too_o provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n more_o and_o more_o and_o too_o hasten_v their_o own_o destruction_n the_o child_n than_o be_v wrap_v up_o together_o

therefore_o the_o child_n be_v so_o punish_v for_o their_o father_n as_o it_o be_v a_o just_a judgement_n upon_o themselves_o also_o they_o can_v not_o say_v we_o be_v guiltless_a for_o they_o be_v

than_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n appear_v so_o that_o man_n have_v not_o wherefore_o to_o glory_v in_o themselves_o the_o child_n will_v not_o say_v this_o heritage_n appertain_v unto_o we_o god_n cause_v we_o too_o prosper_v because_o our_o father_n be_v worthy_a to_o have_v such_o a_o succession_n no_o but_o the_o whole_a must_v be_v attribute_v to_o the_o only_a free_a goodness_n of_o god_n

but_o must_v quiet_v our_o mind_n and_o stay_v our_o judgement_n until_o god_n show_v that_o his_o time_n be_v come_v it_o become_v not_o we_o then_o to_o appoint_v the_o time_n man_n be_v froward_a when_o they_o make_v such_o haste_n but_o you_o see_v that_o god_n have_v a_o peculiar_a fashion_n in_o his_o do_n which_o be_v sometime_o strange_a unto_o we_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o humble_v our_o

not_o allege_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o to_o make_v it_o go_v for_o good_a but_o see_v our_o lord_n have_v speak_v it_o we_o must_v hold_v we_o simple_o to_o his_o word_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o now_o remain_v to_o mark_v the_o word_n that_o be_v set_v down_o in_o that_o place_n namely_o that_o we_o must_v lay_v up_o god_n doctrine_n as_o a_o treasure_n in_o our_o heart_n for_o unless_o

and_o be_v somewhat_o well_o dispose_v howbeit_o that_o disposition_n be_v not_o thorough_o plant_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o the_o faith_n which_o appear_v in_o they_o for_o a_o time_n vanish_v away_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o we_o have_v never_o profit_v well_o in_o god_n school_n till_o his_o word_n be_v so_o deep_o root_v in_o our_o heart_n that_o be_v too_o say_v till_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o with_o such_o a_o mind_n as_o it_o be_v not_o a_o flightful_a motion_n to_o allow_v or_o like_v well_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v tell_v we_o but_o a_o hearty_a affection_n settle_v upon_o it_o in_o good_a earnest_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v oftentimes_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v inward_a and_o spiritual_a for_o although_o we_o have_v satisfy_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o man_n think_v we_o to_o be_v utter_o faultless_a yet_o may_v god_n just_o refuse_v all_o this_o goodly_a outward_a show_n wherein_o man_n soothe_v we_o if_o the_o heart_n go_v not_o afore_o it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o bear_v this_o say_n in_o mind_n that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o lay_v up_o god_n word_n and_o how_o not_o to_o bury_v it_o for_o if_o we_o believe_v with_o our_o heart_n unto_o righteousness_n we_o must_v also_o confess_v it_o with_o our_o mouth_n that_o we_o may_v be_v safe_a then_o must_v

must_v first_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o say_v hearty_a affection_n and_o not_o of_o any_o flightful_a and_o inconstant_a motion_n furthermore_o the_o word_n lie_v up_o will_v be_v well_o enough_o understand_v if_o we_o take_v the_o similitude_n of_o a_o treasure_n and_o apply_v it_o also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v when_o he_o say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v well_o store_v of_o thing_n he_o may_v fetch_v forth_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v need_n of_o both_o for_o his_o own_o household_n and_o also_o for_o other_o man_n use_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v so_o niggardly_o that_o when_o he_o have_v his_o chest_n full_a of_o money_n and_o his_o garner_n and_o cellar_n thorough_o store_v he_o will_v both_o starve_v himself_o and_o not_o relieve_v any_o other_o body_n will_v

must_v be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v use_v it_o discrete_o according_a as_o the_o case_n shall_v require_v and_o when_o we_o have_v the_o treasure_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n lay_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n we_o must_v not_o only_o profit_a ourselves_o by_o it_o but_o also_o edify_v our_o neighbour_n yea_o and_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n how_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v keep_v in_o a_o good_a conscience_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n how_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o the_o say_a text_n that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v learn_v in_o god_n word_n we_o must_v not_o only_o conceive_v some_o opinion_n of_o it_o in_o our_o brain_n but_o we_o must_v lay_v it_o up_o diligent_o in_o our_o heart_n as_o a_o inestimable_a treasure_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o job_n add_v he_o say_v that_o if_o god_n be_v mind_v to_o do_v a_o thing_n no_o man_n shall_v turn_v he_o from_o it_o this_o be_v still_o a_o continue_n of_o the_o matter_n that_o he_o have_v in_o hand_n namely_o that_o god_n use_v a_o absolute_a power_n against_o he_o so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o to_o obtain_v his_o right_n but_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o this_o be_v overmuch_o for_o although_o job_n know_v that_o god_n punish_v he_o not_o for_o his_o sin_n yet_o ought_v he_o too_o have_v be_v full_o resolve_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a and_o unpartial_a in_o all_o his_o do_n but_o he_o surmise_v a_o lawless_a power_n that_o have_v neither_o rule_v nor_o measure_n with_o it_o wherein_o he_o do_v god_n wrong_v nevertheless_o the_o sentence_n be_v true_a if_o it_o be_v apply_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v namely_o that_o god_n be_v always_o at_o one_o point_n or_o in_o one_o mind_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v constant_a and_o unvariable_a and_o can_v be_v turn_v one_o way_n or_o other_o according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o even_a balaam_n the_o liar_n be_v enforce_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v not_o like_a man_n who_o change_n their_o mind_n and_o be_v variable_a and_o inconstant_a have_v he_o say_v any_o thing_n say_v balaam_n which_o he_o perform_v not_o so_o this_o doctrine_n of_o itself_o be_v good_a and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v full_a of_o that_o matter_n but_o now_o must_v we_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o instruction_n it_o serve_v to_o two_o purpose_n the_o one_o be_v that_o when_o god_n have_v speak_v a_o thing_n and_o promise_v to_o be_v merciful_a and_o favourable_a to_o we_o and_o to_o succour_v we_o in_o all_o our_o need_n we_o must_v steadfast_o believe_v it_o and_o rest_n upon_o it_o without_o any_o doubt_v whither_o he_o will_v perform_v his_o promise_n or_o no._n why_o for_o his_o truth_n be_v infallible_a likewise_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n if_o he_o threaten_v we_o we_o must_v tremble_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o dally_v with_o such_o a_o master_n thus_o you_o see_v to_o what_o end_n all_o the_o thing_n tend_v that_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n concern_v god_n constancy_n and_o steadfastness_n in_o execute_v his_o determination_n we_o know_v that_o god_n utter_v his_o mind_n unto_o we_o when_o he_o avouch_v himself_o to_o be_v pitiful_a and_o that_o he_o receive_v we_o too_o mercy_n see_v then_o that_o our_o lord_n do_v so_o call_v we_o unto_o he_o it_o be_v not_o to_o beguile_v we_o and_o too_o foade_v we_o with_o some_o vain_a hope_n and_o therefore_o inasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v such_o assurance_n of_o his_o good_a will_n let_v we_o bold_o stay_v and_o rest_v thereupon_o and_o why_o for_o he_o change_v not_o though_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v make_v suit_n to_o he_o yet_o shall_v it_o not_o cause_v he_o too_o alter_v his_o mind_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v we_o may_v glory_v against_o all_o that_o the_o devil_n can_v devise_v or_o practice_v yea_o and_o although_o we_o see_v the_o whole_a world_n bend_v against_o god_n promise_n yet_o shall_v we_o nevertheless_o be_v always_o at_o rest_n according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a ghost_n arm_v the_o faithful_a with_o such_o trust_n and_o teach_v they_o too_o defy_v all_o their_o enemy_n goto_n say_v he_o lie_v your_o head_n together_o and_o do_v the_o worst_a you_o can_v yet_o shall_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v hold_v out_o to_o the_o end_n again_o he_o say_v he_o will_v be_v near_o at_o hand_n too_o we_o and_o that_o when_o the_o devil_n and_o man_n have_v practise_v their_o uttermost_a against_o we_o he_o will_v beat_v down_o all_o their_o defence_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o may_v despise_v all_o that_o our_o enemy_n can_v practice_v or_o devise_v and_o why_o for_o in_o the_o end_n they_o can_v withstand_v god_n nor_o let_v he_o too_o perfourine_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v speak_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o what_o wise_a we_o ought_v to_o put_v this_o doctrine_n in_o ure_n concern_v the_o steadfastness_n that_o be_v in_o god_n

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 that_o because_o god_n child_n walk_v simple_o and_o plain_o they_o may_v want_v many_o thing_n and_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o poverty_n threaten_v to_o attach_v they_o within_o a_o day_n or_o twain_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

godsword_n and_o every_o man_n unhallow_v it_o ungracious_o so_o much_o the_o more_o behoove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o text_n where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v we_o the_o manner_n of_o

here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o solomon_n in_o the_o text_n that_o we_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o his_o proverb_n say_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o holy_a thing_n be_v the_o

two_o thing_n together_o in_o unseparable_a bond_n it_o behoove_v we_o also_o to_o knit_v they_o together_o hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n will_v never_o be_v in_o we_o till_o

then_o that_o will_v be_v a_o good_a corrector_n of_o his_o neighbour_n must_v first_o correct_v himself_o he_o that_o will_v teach_v other_o man_n must_v first_o be_v his_o own_o schoolmaster_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o must_v begin_v at_o himself_o and_o receive_v good_a doctrine_n also_o let_v we_o not_o forget_v that_o which_o we_o have_v say_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v be_v ready_a

manner_n of_o person_n as_o touch_v that_o which_o job_n say_v here_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o be_v that_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n such_o as_o be_v lead_v with_o ambition_n will_v fain_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v man_n of_o renown_n and_o they_o never_o do_v any_o thing_n but_o they_o look_v for_o some_o praise_n and_o commendation_n for_o it_o

have_v good_a record_n that_o we_o be_v not_o faulty_a before_o god_n and_o can_v also_o show_v the_o same_o in_o deed_n then_o although_o man_n make_v book_n against_o we_o that_o it_o to_o say_v

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

not_o only_o particular_a person_n but_o also_o whole_a nation_n and_o country_n this_o say_n that_o god_n mark_v man_n pace_n be_v take_v two_o way_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o sometime_o it_o be_v refer_v to_o god_n promise_n because_o he_o be_v careful_a too_o govern_v we_o but_o in_o this_o text_n as_o also_o in_o many_o other_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n behold_v our_o step_n because_o

whatsoever_o come_v of_o it_o and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v shake_v from_o it_o and_o this_o declare_v to_o we_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o faith_n for_o we_o believe_v not_o upon_o a_o fickle_a

that_o we_o know_v to_o be_v good_a must_v never_o escape_v we_o neither_o must_v we_o by_o any_o mean_n be_v turn_v from_o it_o but_o we_o must_v so_o print_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n as_o we_o may_v

shall_v justify_v you_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o it_o be_v no_o small_a fault_n before_o god_n to_o make_v countenance_n of_o consent_v too_o such_o as_o maintain_v a_o evil_a case_n and_o go_v

and_o look_v how_o much_o the_o more_o that_o any_o man_n have_v go_v forward_o let_v he_o know_v that_o god_n have_v bind_v he_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o steadfast_a and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o more_o to_o his_o shame_n and_o the_o heynous_a unthankfulness_n in_o he_o if_o he_o turn_v his_o back_n and_o forsake_v his_o good_a way_n very_o as_o soon_o as_o god_n show_v we_o his_o will_n

according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o his_o friend_n condemn_v he_o for_o a_o reprobate_n because_o he_o endure_v so_o great_a torment_n and_o it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o god_n mean_v to_o utter_v his_o vengeance_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o mirror_n of_o wicked_a man_n who_o god_n do_v utter_o destroy_v job_n therefore_o protest_v that_o he_o be_v no_o such_o man_n and_o

his_o righteousness_n to_o be_v know_v and_o then_o will_v he_o maintain_v that_o his_o suffering_n be_v not_o for_o his_o sin_n namely_o if_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v thorough_o consider_v and_o that_o god_n will_v pronounce_v sentence_n as_o by_o way_n of_o ordinary_a process_n and_o not_o by_o prerogative_n of_o his_o high_a and_o secret_a power_n so_o as_o man_n may_v not_o know_v why_o

that_o be_v the_o most_o ordinary_a manner_n you_o see_v that_o god_n suffer_v not_o our_o misdeed_n unpunished_a and_o after_o he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o rule_n whereby_o to_o live_v well_o he_o

then_o if_o we_o be_v beat_v with_o god_n rod_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o lay_v our_o life_n too_o his_o law_n and_o if_o we_o find_v ourselves_o to_o have_v do_v amiss_o there_o our_o indictment_n be_v

the_o world_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n job_n have_v his_o mouth_n shut_v so_o as_o he_o wist_v not_o what_o to_o say_v and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o not_o to_o inquire_v any_o other_o cause_n why_o he_o be_v handle_v so_o rough_o it_o be_v a_o secret_a unknown_a to_o man_n then_o be_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n that_o job_n desire_v god_n to_o answer_v he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v too_o

that_o we_o shall_v stoop_v to_o he_o although_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v not_o apparent_a unto_o we_o then_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o visit_v we_o with_o rigour_n and_o we_o

that_o their_o wilfulness_n shall_v serve_v they_o to_o no_o purpose_n but_o to_o put_v they_o to_o double_a confusion_n and_o so_o we_o see_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n have_v

we_o owe_v he_o go_v forme_v and_o that_o than_o follow_v the_o duty_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o our_o brethren_n the_o service_n of_o god_n therefore_o must_v be_v as_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o

what_o we_o be_v when_o adversity_n cumber_v we_o oversore_n and_o that_o our_o frailty_n and_o feebleness_n be_v so_o mingle_v with_o they_o as_o we_o know_v not_o where_o to_o become_v but_o gnashe_v our_o tooth_n and_o chew_v upon_o our_o bridle_n and_o be_v so_o distraught_a as_o we_o neither_o keep_v way_n nor_o path_n any_o more_o this_o be_v it_o then_o which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o sentence_n which_o eliu_n add_v he_o accuse_v job_n to_o have_v say_v that_o it_o profit_v not_o a_o man_n to_o have_v walk_v with_o god._n this_o walk_n with_o god_n import_v that_o a_o man_n so_o give_v himself_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n as_o he_o think_v continual_o to_o give_v a_o account_n and_o acknowledge_v in_o himself_o after_o this_o manner_n he_o that_o have_v create_v and_o form_v i_o govern_v and_o guide_v i_o i_o can_v shun_v his_o hand_n nor_o escape_v his_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v be_v present_a before_o his_o eye_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v see_v not_o only_o all_o my_o work_n but_o also_o my_o thought_n lo_o what_o it_o be_v to_o walk_v with_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v purposely_o use_v that_o kind_n of_o speech_n because_o man_n be_v like_o colliers_n sack_n as_o they_o say_v which_o make_v one_o a_o other_o black_a and_o experience_n show_v that_o when_o we_o walk_v without_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o but_o he_o take_v liberty_n to_o do_v evil_a under_o the_o shadow_n that_o other_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o himself_o &_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n also_o give_v occasion_n to_o other_o of_o his_o neighbour_n to_o do_v evil_a insomuch_o that_o at_o this_o day_n there_o be_v not_o any_o of_o we_o but_o he_o give_v evil_a example_n by_o some_o mean_n or_o other_o through_o the_o vice_n which_o all_o of_o we_o have_v of_o our_o own_o and_o therefore_o when_o we_o walk_v with_o man_n we_o walk_v in_o horrible_a confusion_n all_o our_o life_n be_v like_o a_o hotchpotch_n or_o a_o dark_a dungeon_n so_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v discern_v in_o it_o behold_v i_o say_v what_o it_o be_v to_o walk_v with_o man_n but_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v see_v that_o in_o
