By W. Crashaw Bachelar of Diuinitie, and preacher at the Temple.

be_v prepare_v for_o it_o and_o look_v for_o no_o less_o than_o all_o they_o can_v do_v but_o if_o they_o have_v never_o a_o gamaliel_n leave_v to_o tell_v it_o they_o let_v i_o tell_v they_o that_o if_o this_o work_n be_v only_o of_o man_n it_o will_v come_v to_o nought_o of_o itself_o without_o their_o help_n but_o if_o it_o be_v of_o god_n they_o can_v destroy_v it_o but_o shall_v be_v find_v even_o fighter_n against_o god_n 3_o as_o for_o player_n pardon_v i_o right_o honourable_a and_o belove_a for_o wrong_v this_o place_n and_o your_o patience_n with_o so_o base_a a_o subject_n they_o play_v with_o prince_n and_o potentate_n magistrate_n and_o minister_n nay_o with_o god_n and_o religion_n and_o all_o holy_a thing_n nothing_o that_o be_v good_a excellent_a or_o holy_a can_v escape_v they_o how_o then_o can_v this_o action_n but_o player_n this_o may_v suffice_v that_o they_o be_v player_n they_o abuse_v virginea_fw-la but_o they_o be_v but_o player_n they_o disgrace_v it_o true_a but_o they_o be_v but_o player_n and_o they_o have_v play_v with_o better_a thing_n and_o such_o as_o for_o which_o if_o they_o speedy_o repent_v not_o i_o dare_v say_v vengeance_n wait_v for_o they_o but_o let_v they_o play_v on_o they_o make_v man_n laugh_v on_o earth_n but_o he_o that_o sit_v in_o heaven_n laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v because_o like_o the_o fly_n they_o so_o long_o play_v with_o the_o candle_n till_o first_o it_o sing_v their_o wing_n and_o at_o last_o burn_v they_o altogether_o but_o why_o be_v the_o player_n enemy_n to_o this_o plantation_n and_o action_n do_v abuse_v it_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o the_o cause_n first_o for_o that_o they_o be_v so_o multiply_v here_o that_o one_o can_v live_v by_o another_o and_o they_o see_v that_o we_o send_v of_o all_o trade_n to_o virginea_fw-la but_o will_v send_v no_o player_n which_o if_o we_o will_v do_v they_o that_o remain_v will_v gain_v the_o more_o at_o home_n second_o as_o the_o devil_n hate_v we_o because_o we_o purpose_v not_o to_o suffer_v heathen_n and_o the_o pope_n because_o we_o have_v vow_v to_o tolerate_v no_o papist_n so_o do_v the_o player_n because_o we_o resolve_v to_o suffer_v no_o idle_a person_n in_o virginea_fw-la which_o course_n if_o it_o be_v take_v in_o england_n they_o know_v they_o may_v turn_v to_o new_a occupation_n thus_o the_o devil_n papist_n and_o player_n the_o enemy_n of_o this_o action_n single_v they_o asunder_o or_o let_v they_o join_v their_o force_n we_o care_v not_o for_o their_o malice_n we_o seek_v not_o their_o favour_n nay_o we_o have_v rather_o have_v they_o all_o three_o against_o we_o then_o with_o we_o and_o against_o they_o all_o and_o all_o other_o that_o shall_v malign_v we_o whosoever_o we_o say_v no_o more_o but_o this_o he_o have_v set_v we_o on_o work_n that_o will_v maintain_v we_o and_o for_o ourselves_o no_o more_o but_o this_o if_o god_n be_v on_o our_o 31._o side_n who_o can_v be_v against_o we_o and_o thus_o with_o a_o indifferent_a unpartial_a eye_n we_o have_v observe_v and_o lay_v down_o all_o the_o discouragement_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v incident_a to_o this_o business_n and_o all_o which_o i_o ever_o hear_v either_o friend_n to_o fear_n or_o enemy_n to_o object_n and_o have_v answer_v they_o all_o out_o of_o the_o ground_n of_o truth_n now_o let_v we_o according_o consider_v of_o the_o encouragement_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o to_o proceed_v in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o this_o enterprise_n the_o first_o encouragement_n be_v the_o consideration_n of_o three_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o

part_n be_v profit_n and_o pleasure_n 2._o it_o be_v more_o honourable_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o undertaker_n where_o be_v there_o ever_o voyage_n that_o have_v such_o a_o king_n and_o such_o a_o

affirm_v with_o due_a respect_n to_o other_o and_o without_o disparagement_n to_o any_o that_o of_o all_o voyage_n ever_o attempt_v in_o this_o nation_n the_o virginian_a voyage_n be_v the_o most_o honour_n able_a three_o this_o be_v also_o a_o holy_a action_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o end_n and_o purpose_n of_o it_o for_o this_o action_n be_v not_o action_n only_o lawful_a so_o that_o a_o man_n in_o do_v it_o may_v be_v assure_v he_o sin_n not_o but_o it_o be_v moreover_o a_o holy_a action_n even_o such_o a_o one_o as_o in_o the_o performance_n whereof_o a_o man_n may_v be_v assure_v that_o he_o please_v god_n and_o shall_v have_v a_o bountiful_a reward_n from_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v peculiar_a to_o this_o voyage_n above_o other_o by_o other_o we_o may_v show_v ourselves_o good_a common-wealths-man_n by_o this_o good_a christian_n by_o other_o we_o may_v enrich_v our_o purse_n but_o by_o this_o our_o conscience_n other_o may_v help_v we_o to_o live_v the_o more_o wealthy_o but_o only_o this_o can_v help_v we_o to_o die_v the_o more_o comfortable_o other_o voyage_n may_v purchase_v we_o some_o praise_n before_o man_n but_o none_o like_o this_o can_v procure_v we_o reward_v from_o god_n for_o they_o that_o enter_v into_o voyage_n of_o certain_a profit_n for_o profit_n sake_n these_o have_v their_o reward_n but_o they_o that_o undertake_v a_o voyage_n of_o uncertain_a and_o future_a profit_n and_o certain_a and_o present_a difficulty_n and_o not_o for_o profit_n but_o for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n let_v they_o know_v that_o if_o he_o that_o

of_o all_o the_o voyage_n and_o action_n that_o man_n meddle_v with_o in_o this_o world_n none_o can_v yield_v this_o satisfaction_n and_o comfort_n to_o the_o conscience_n that_o this_o can_v so_o that_o this_o be_v a_o enterprise_n of_o that_o worth_n &_o excellency_n as_o no_o other_o see_v it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a in_o itself_o and_o therefore_o acceptable_a to_o god_n but_o
