live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v and_o a_o marvelous_a mercy_n of_o the_o most_o high_a that_o we_o be_v not_o consume_v in_o our_o sin_n admonition_n and_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o even_o now_o while_o this_o matter_n do_v sound_a in_o our_o ear_n we_o harbour_v not_o lewd_a thing_n in_o our_o heart_n but_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v repentance_n and_o grace_n to_o expulse_v

follow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o arise_v from_o some_o other_o cause_n which_o be_v this_o lewd_a thing_n be_v in_o his_o hart_n who_o receive_v evil_a by_o the_o truth_n and_o

and_o search_v at_o home_n in_o themselves_o they_o shall_v find_v the_o cause_n of_o most_o of_o that_o hatred_n and_o contention_n and_o wilful_a mistake_n and_o rash_a judge_v and_o bitter_a

three_o former_a sermon_n and_o as_o sincerity_n grace_v all_o our_o good_a action_n before_o god_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n we_o have_v see_v that_o hypocrisy_n disgrace_v and_o shame_v we_o yea_o make_v even_o our_o best_a deed_n to_o stink_n as_o most_o loathsome_a filth_n before_o his_o heavenly_a majesty_n yea_o and_o before_o man_n too_o when_o once_o it_o break_v out_o and_o this_o may_v serve_v sufficient_o to_o persuade_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o hypocrisy_n and_o counterfeit_v in_o god_n religion_n or_o any_o religious_a duty_n command_v by_o god_n but_o because_o the_o hypocrite_n dream_v of_o some_o great_a reward_n whereby_o he_o shall_v become_v some_o great_a man_n both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v imagine_v that_o as_o he_o be_v like_v of_o man_n so_o he_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v love_v of_o god_n therefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n affirm_v most_o constant_o and_o in_o earnest_a manner_n that_o hypocrite_n have_v all_o the_o reward_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v for_o the_o praise_n of_o man_n have_v they_o hunt_v for_o and_o that_o they_o have_v &_o more_o than_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v to_o reward_v they_o but_o to_o punish_v they_o a_o portion_n they_o shall_v have_v with_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n in_o hell_n the_o praise_n of_o man_n what_o be_v it_o sure_o even_o as_o man_n be_v themselves_o &_o as_o they_o be_v affect_v man_n be_v but_o man_n when_o they_o be_v at_o the_o best_a and_o at_o the_o high_a whether_o it_o be_v in_o wisdom_n or_o in_o authority_n or_o in_o goodwill_n or_o in_o ability_n or_o whatsoever_o else_o that_o be_v vain_a and_o vanish_v mutable_a and_o inconstant_a blind_a and_o partial_a a_o simple_a reward_n than_o be_v the_o praise_n of_o man_n even_o fit_a for_o such_o vain_a fool_n as_o seek_v for_o nothing_o else_o the_o hypocrite_n take_v great_a pain_n for_o the_o obtain_n notwithstanding_o of_o this_o vain_a reward_n as_o fool_n which_o hunt_v after_o a_o feather_n blow_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o wind_n they_o can_v get_v it_o unless_o they_o will_v sweat_v and_o almost_o run_v themselves_o out_o of_o breath_n and_o when_o they_o have_v get_v it_o it_o be_v but_o a_o feather_n and_o nothing_o light_a the_o praise_n of_o man_n what_o be_v it_o sure_o but_o word_n proceed_v from_o inconstant_a mind_n false_a heart_n and_o from_o those_o who_o hand_n can_v accomplish_v the_o device_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o what_o be_v such_o word_n but_o wind_n and_o what_o be_v more_o inconstant_a than_o the_o wind_n he_o that_o observe_v the_o praise_n of_o man_n be_v like_o he_o that_o observe_v the_o wind_n and_o be_v fit_o resemble_v to_o a_o windmill_n that_o whirl_v about_o apace_o so_o long_o as_o the_o wind_n blow_v a_o main_a but_o when_o the_o wind_n slack_v his_o gale_n than_o he_o slack_v his_o pace_n and_o as_o the_o windmill_n be_v turn_v with_o the_o wind_n so_o the_o hypocrite_n also_o turn_v with_o the_o time_n if_o he_o may_v be_v praise_v for_o well_o do_v than_o he_o will_v do_v well_o still_o but_o if_o he_o be_v reproach_v or_o threaten_v or_o not_o high_o esteem_v then_o he_o alter_v his_o course_n and_o be_v go_v but_o here_o perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v object_v by_o some_o objection_n that_o the_o scripture_n commend_v a_o good_a name_n in_o many_o place_n and_o thereby_o admonish_v man_n to_o get_v a_o good_a name_n and_o to_o keep_v it_o be_v get_v and_o what_o be_v that_o but_o to_o be_v praise_v of_o man_n and_o to_o get_v the_o good_a opinion_n and_o estimation_n of_o man_n answer_n indeed_o this_o be_v true_a a_o good_a report_n be_v to_o be_v seek_v for_o among_o man_n and_o careful_o to_o be_v keep_v too_o when_o it_o be_v obtain_v but_o this_o must_v be_v
