from_o the_o connexion_n of_o the_o word_n that_o
wilful_a disobedience_n obstinate_a stubborness_n and_o intractableness_n be_v express_v by_o divers_a similitude_n all_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n they_o refuse_v to_o harken_v stop_v

it_o second_o it_o may_v likewise_o teach_v all_o that_o fear_v god_n never_o to_o envy_v the_o prosperous_a estate_n of_o any_o child_n of_o belial_n though_o water_n of_o a_o full_a cup_n be_v

of_o wine_n furnish_v with_o all_o the_o help_n of_o mirth_n and_o jollity_n if_o he_o know_v withal_o that_o the_o shot_n to_o be_v pay_v for_o it_o must_v be_v every_o man_n heart_n blood_n he_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o pack_n with_o they_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v hard_a not_o to_o be_v trouble_v at_o the_o prosperity_n of_o wicked_a man_n even_o david_n and_o jeremy_n find_v it_o a_o hard_a thing_n not_o to_o envy_v 1._o their_o prosperity_n but_o stay_v till_o the_o shot_n be_v pay_v inquire_v how_o able_a they_o will_v be_v to_o undergo_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n enter_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n understand_v their_o end_n and_o thy_o envy_n will_v be_v at_o a_o end_n but_o these_o i_o intend_v not_o to_o insist_v upon_o repentance_n there_o be_v one_o only_o

you_o with_o due_a care_n apply_v these_o thing_n to_o your_o own_o heart_n and_o present_v they_o to_o your_o soul_n as_o thing_n present_a how_o will_v they_o bring_v down_o the_o most_o stubborn_a

they_o the_o first_o be_v these_o thing_n be_v look_v upon_o as_o thing_n a_o far_o off_o now_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o optic_n that_o thing_n far_o off_o though_o they_o be_v marvellous_a great_a yet_o seem_v very_o little_a a_o star_n that_o be_v big_a than_o all_o the_o earth_n seem_v no_o big_a than_o a_o candle_n be_v many_o mile_n distant_a from_o we_o so_o while_o man_n look_v at_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n as_o they_o do_v at_o the_o prophet_n vision_n the_o vision_n that_o he_o see_v be_v for_o many_o day_n to_o come_v and_o he_o prophecy_v of_o 27._o the_o time_n that_o be_v far_o off_o and_o put_v the_o evil_a day_n from_o they_o all_o these_o threaten_n be_v but_o light_a matter_n second_o it_o fare_v with_o most_o man_n in_o this_o point_n as_o with_o some_o man_n that_o have_v shrewish_a wife_n though_o their_o business_n lie_v within_o door_n yet_o they_o have_v no_o heart_n to_o be_v there_o for_o fear_n of_o chide_v so_o though_o it_o be_v the_o most_o necessary_a work_n to_o think_v of_o these_o thing_n yet_o because_o their_o unquiet_a conscience_n upon_o the_o least_o serious_a meditation_n be_v ready_a to_o gnaw_v and_o tear_v they_o and_o make_v they_o sleep_v uncomfortable_o they_o labour_v to_o drive_v off_o the_o thought_n of_o this_o thing_n as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v and_o will_v not_o think_v of_o god_n wrath_n due_a to_o sin_n from_o year_n end_n to_o year_n end_n whereas_o if_o man_n will_v bring_v it_o in_o rempraesentem_fw-la and_o keep_v their_o eye_n open_a to_o behold_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n which_o unavoidable_o will_v come_v

of_o a_o certain_a christian_a king_n of_o hungary_n who_o be_v on_o a_o time_n marvellous_a sad_a and_o heavy_a his_o brother_n that_o be_v a_o resolute_a courtier_n will_v needs_o know_v what_o he_o

in_o the_o dead_a time_n of_o the_o night_n send_v his_o deathsman_n and_o cause_v he_o to_o sound_v his_o trumpet_n before_o his_o brother_n door_n who_o hear_v and_o see_v the_o messenger_n of_o

thou_o have_v love_v i_o and_o never_o offend_v i_o and_o be_v the_o sight_n of_o my_o executioner_n so_o dreadful_a to_o thou_o and_o shall_v not_o i_o so_o great_a a_o sinner_n fear_v to_o be_v
