will_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o which_o for_o method_n sake_n we_o will_v subdivide_v into_o these_o particular_n 1_o pleasure_n of_o the_o body_n 2_o belly_n 3_o eye_n and_o 4_o ear_n but_o first_o of_o pleasure_n in_o general_a and_o afterward_o we_o will_v descend_v into_o the_o particular_n pleasure_n be_v so_o far_o from_o profit_v we_o for_o our_o soul_n or_o our_o body_n as_o that_o many_o time_n through_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n which_o want_v wisdom_n to_o use_v they_o aright_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o much_o hurt_n to_o both_o but_o herein_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v as_o if_o i_o seem_v to_o condemn_v all_o pleasure_n as_o unlawful_a for_o christian_n to_o use_v but_o because_o the_o carnal_a world_n be_v ready_a to_o plead_v for_o baal_n and_o so_o through_o inordinate_a love_n of_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o prize_v they_o above_o their_o worth_n we_o will_v therefore_o dive_v into_o they_o and_o for_o trial_n bring_v they_o to_o the_o touchstone_n of_o god_n word_n by_o which_o we_o will_v discover_v which_o be_v good_a and_o lawful_a and_o how_o far_o they_o may_v be_v use_v of_o god_n child_n and_o how_o they_o may_v be_v abuse_v to_o which_o end_n we_o be_v to_o know_v pleasure_n be_v of_o three_o kind_n 1_o holy_a sort_n pleasure_n be_v of_o three_o sort_n and_o divine_a 2_o temporal_a and_o earthly_a 3_o carnal_a and_o sinful_a 1_o holy_a and_o divine_a pleasure_n be_v when_o we_o can_v rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v glad_a when_o we_o enjoy_v his_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n here_o so_o as_o we_o have_v a_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o those_o joy_n which_o he_o have_v prepare_v for_o we_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v unto_o these_o pleasure_n we_o be_v exhort_v in_o

speak_v in_o a_o more_o fit_a place_n the_o second_o kind_n of_o pleasure_n pleasure_n the_o second_o sort_n of_o pleasure_n be_v temporal_a and_o earthly_a which_o pleasure_n in_o their_o own_o
