because_o he_o who_o pass_v from_o nothing_o to_o be_v a_o creature_n capable_a of_o reason_n and_o glory_n ought_v always_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o end_n for_o which_o he_o be_v create_v and_o from_o that_o consideration_n to_o make_v a_o change_n of_o his_o life_n as_o david_n do_v of_o he_o who_o confess_v in_o the_o same_o psalm_n that_o his_o change_n come_v from_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o most_o high_a let_v we_o then_o as_o he_o do_v remember_v to_o change_v our_o custom_n from_o tepid_a to_o become_v fervent_a and_o from_o sinner_n just_a because_o the_o end_n for_o which_o we_o be_v create_v be_v only_o god_n this_o only_a consideration_n of_o so_o high_a a_o end_n will_v be_v able_a to_o work_v a_o change_n in_o we_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n david_n give_v this_o title_n to_o another_o psalm_n to_o the_o end_n for_o those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v change_v or_o alter_v the_o holy_a prophet_n well_o know_v the_o importance_n of_o this_o mindefulness_n of_o our_o last_o end_n and_o therefore_o he_o repeat_v it_o in_o his_o psalm_n to_o the_o end_n that_o have_v our_o attention_n always_o fix_v upon_o it_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o aim_v at_o it_o nor_o spoil_v our_o intention_n by_o the_o mixture_n of_o other_o thought_n of_o less_o consideration_n as_o he_o give_v to_o understand_v in_o the_o inscription_n of_o his_o psalm_n 74_o which_o say_v unto_o the_o end_n corrupt_v not_o another_o version_n say_v to_o the_o end_n lose_v not_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v look_v upon_o the_o end_n for_o which_o thou_o be_v create_v to_o the_o end_n thou_o may_v not_o lose_v it_o let_v we_o also_o consider_v that_o glory_n be_v no_o way_n due_a unto_o our_o nature_n yet_o god_n out_o of_o his_o mercy_n create_v we_o to_o enjoy_v it_o and_o when_o he_o may_v have_v make_v we_o for_o a_o natural_a felicity_n and_o perfection_n be_v please_v to_o create_v we_o for_o a_o supernatural_a other_o creature_n he_o make_v for_o we_o but_o we_o for_o himself_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n have_v a_o more_o noble_a end_n than_o we_o there_o be_v neither_o seraphin_n nor_o archangel_n that_o surpass_v we_o in_o this_o let_v we_o therefore_o know_v the_o value_n of_o it_o that_o we_o may_v not_o lose_v it_o and_o with_o it_o ourselves_o consider_v also_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v make_v thou_o for_o himself_o nor_o to_o the_o end_n thou_o may_v serve_v he_o but_o have_v leave_v the_o free_a and_o at_o liberty_n and_o have_v only_o give_v thou_o a_o be_v yet_o even_o for_o that_o thou_o owe_v he_o all_o what_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n although_o the_o father_n be_v not_o his_o end_n yet_o owe_v he_o all_o respect_n and_o reverence_n because_o he_o beget_v he_o the_o husbandman_n who_o plant_v a_o tree_n have_v right_o unto_o the_o fruit_n god_n therefore_o who_o create_v and_o plant_v thou_o have_v right_o unto_o thou_o and_o all_o that_o thou_o be_v and_o if_o his_o right_n be_v such_o for_o make_v thou_o it_o be_v no_o less_o for_o ordain_v thou_o for_o himself_o there_o be_v no_o dominion_n so_o absolute_a as_o both_o divine_n and_o philosopher_n affirm_v as_o that_o of_o the_o end_n over_o those_o

than_o those_o thing_n which_o as_o servant_n and_o minister_n relate_v unto_o it_o for_o this_o reason_n man_n although_o he_o be_v neither_o the_o creator_n nor_o utmost_a end_n of_o corporal_a thing_n yet_o because_o he_o be_v their_o immediate_a end_n and_o that_o they_o be_v ordain_v for_o his_o use_n be_v their_o lord_n and_o god_n who_o be_v the_o utmost_a end_n of_o man_n and_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o all_o philo_n call_v the_o end_v the_o head_n of_o thing_n for_o as_o a_o prince_n be_v the_o absolute_a head_n and_o lord_n of_o his_o vassal_n and_o kingdom_n so_o the_o end_n be_v lord_n and_o head_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o have_v a_o relation_n unto_o it_o and_o therefore_o man_n who_o be_v whole_o from_o god_n and_o for_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o stir_v a_o hand_n or_o a_o foot_n but_o in_o order_n to_o his_o service_n one_o of_o the_o philosopher_n call_v the_o end_v the_o cause_n of_o cause_n another_o the_o principal_a of_o all_o cause_n if_o therefore_o unto_o god_n because_o he_o be_v thy_o efficient_a cause_n thou_o owe_v he_o what_o thou_o be_v for_o be_v thy_o final_a cause_n thou_o owe_v he_o more_o than_o thou_o be_v for_o this_o obligation_n look_v not_o upon_o that_o which_o thou_o have_v receive_v which_o be_v thy_o finite_a and_o limit_a being_n but_o upon_o that_o for_o which_o thou_o be_v ordain_v which_o be_v a_o be_v divine_a infinite_a and_o without_o limit_n even_o god_n himself_o as_o he_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o thing_n do_v as_o it_o be_v serve_v himself_o as_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a good_a and_o final_a cause_n of_o thing_n and_o do_v not_o make_v they_o but_o for_o this_o end_n what_o right_a then_o have_v thou_o to_o work_v for_o any_o thing_n but_o god_n since_o god_n do_v not_o nor_o will_v
