do_v this_o or_o that_o be_v ill_o do_v ubi_fw-la est_fw-la laus_fw-la dei_fw-la perdisti_fw-la halleluiah_n where_o be_v thy_o praise_v the_o lord_n thou_o have_v lose_v thy_o hallettuah_n thy_o praise_v the_o lord_n to_o this_o purpose_n very_o divine_o one_o of_o the_o most_o godly_a and_o learned_a of_o all_o the_o father_n s._n augustine_n upon_o the_o 148._o psalm_n by_o this_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o even_o the_o small_a creature_n in_o their_o kind_n magnify_v their_o creator_n that_o that_o which_o seem_v to_o the_o ignorant_a and_o inconsiderate_a needless_a and_o unprofitable_a be_v indeed_o necessary_a and_o beneficial_a and_o beside_o that_o when_o god_n by_o any_o mean_n take_v away_o our_o provision_n here_o it_o be_v to_o wean_v we_o hence_o or_o to_o chastise_v we_o with_o want_n for_o abuse_v plenty_n with_o war_n for_o abuse_v peace_n with_o sickness_n and_o weakness_n for_o abuse_v health_n and_o strength_n with_o false_a friend_n for_o abuse_v true_a friend_n with_o unkindness_n where_o we_o love_v well_o for_o our_o ingratitude_n to_o he_o that_o love_v we_o better_o with_o cross_n in_o our_o business_n for_o our_o negligence_n in_o his_o

it_o be_v not_o so_o let_v they_o ruffle_v it_o never_o so_o much_o for_o a_o while_n bewate_fw-mi their_o end_n plague_n upon_o plague_n remain_v for_o they_o which_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o avoid_v for_o god_n fail_v not_o in_o his_o uncontrollable_a providence_n to_o see_v they_o pay_v that_o they_o have_v deserve_v this_o perplex_a david_n at_o the_o heart_n as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o his_o 73._o psalm_n when_o he_o say_v my_o foot_n be_v almost_o gove_n my_o treadting_n have_v well_o nigh_o slip_v and_o why_o i_o be_v grieve_v at_o the_o wicked_a i_o do_v also_o see_v the_o ungodly_a in_o such_o prosperity_n and_o i_o say_v then_o have_v i_o cleanse_v my_o heart_n in_o vain_a and_o wash_v my_o hand_n in_o innocence_n all_o the_o day_n long_o have_v i_o be_v punish_v and_o chastened_a every_o morning_n yea_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v even_o as_o they_o than_o shall_v i_o have_v condemn_v the_o generation_n of_o god_n child_n then_o think_v i_o to_o understand_v this_o but_o it_o be_v too_o hard_o for_o i_o until_o i_o go_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o god_n there_o understand_v i_o the_o end_n of_o these_o man_n namely_o how_o thou_o do_v set_v they_o in_o slippery_a place_n and_o cast_v they_o down_o and_o destroy_v they_o o_o how_o sudden_o do_v they_o consume_v perish_v &_o come_v to_o a_o fearful_a end_n that_o which_o david_n learn_v in_o god_n sanctuary_n that_o he_o teach_v we_o in_o this_o psalm_n it_o be_v worth_a the_o remember_n and_o apply_v by_o yourselves_o we_o read_v in_o genesis_n a_o notable_a work_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o joseph_n how_o god_n bring_v he_o to_o great_a honour_n and_o comfort_v he_o on_o every_o side_n how_o god_n provide_v he_o to_o provide_v for_o old_a jacob_n and_o all_o he_o the_o mean_v use_v be_v some_o very_a mean_a some_o very_a unlikely_a and_o some_o almost_o impossible_a yet_o all_o in_o god_n order_n direct_v and_o by_o his_o power_n effectuall-who_a will_v have_v think_v that_o of_o a_o boy_n keep_v sheep_n in_o chanaan_n one_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a man_n under_o the_o king_n in_o egypt_n that_o a_o dream_n or_o two_o a_o thousand_o to_o one_o but_o so_o many_o

with_o you_o this_o rule_n in_o our_o learning_n in_o divinity_n which_o be_v a_o sound_a rule_n in_o this_o case_n cum_fw-la eiusdem_fw-la effectus_fw-la plures_fw-la sunt_fw-la causae_fw-la

permit_v sin_n as_o it_o be_v sin_n or_o he_o do_v not_o permit_v it_o if_o he_o permit_v it_o not_o how_o can_v it_o be_v if_o he_o permit_v it_o either_o he_o do_v it_o with_o or_o against_o his_o

and_o so_o effectual_o in_o all_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o god_n will_v be_v consider_v as_o it_o be_v sometime_o occulta_fw-la secret_a sometime_o as_o it_o be_v manifesta_fw-la reveil_v always_o as_o it_o be_v iusta_fw-la just_a second_o that_o sin_n be_v not_o measure_v by_o the_o secret_a will_n of_o god_n at_o all_o but_o by_o his_o reveil_v will_n which_o be_v his_o law_n and_o therefore_o though_o we_o grant_v a_o permission_n in_o god_n secret_a will_n of_o that_o which_o be_v sin_n yet_o god_n in_o that_o will_n nothing_o as_o sin_n for_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v against_o his_o secret_a will_n so_o no_o sin_n be_v measure_v by_o it_o and_o therefore_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v call_v sin_n with_o respect_n unto_o it_o this_o be_v certain_a then_o still_o i_o say_v that_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v sin_n be_v not_o of_o god_n but_o how_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v against_o god_n reveal_v will_n and_o not_o be_v against_o his_o secret_a will_n they_o be_v one_o as_o they_o be_v diverse_o consider_v to_o be_v secret_a and_o to_o be_v a_o reveal_v be_v diverse_a consideration_n in_o one_o &_o the_o self_n same_o respect_n nothing_o
and_o when_o man_n be_v make_v and_o all_o that_o god_n see_v all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o lo_o it_o be_v very_o good_a as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o work_n of_o creation_n then_o so_o be_v it_o and_o so_o have_v it_o be_v for_o his_o preserve_n and_o govern_v of_o thing_n since_o &_o so_o will_v it_o be_v for_o his_o bring_v thing_n to_o their_o set_a end_n always_o when_o god_n look_v upon_o all_o the_o work_n of_o his_o providence_n lo_o they_o be_v all_o good_a howsoever_o by_o man_n degenerate_v there_o be_v malignity_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o god_n work_n in_o all_o as_o he_o
