and_o deviation_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o they_o more_o than_o in_o other_o thing_n yet_o certain_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v by_o any_o wise_a man_n but_o that_o he_o have_v over_o they_o and_o over_o all_o and_o over_o the_o least_o as_o much_o as_o over_o the_o great_a because_o providence_n in_o every_o thing_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o perfect_a and_o more_o excellent_a by_o how_o much_o it_o further_o extend_v itself_o and_o take_v care_n of_o more_o thing_n see_v then_o that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n must_v be_v acknowledge_v the_o most_o perfect_a of_o all_o it_o must_v also_o of_o necessity_n extend_v itself_o to_o all_o thing_n it_o must_v leave_v nothing_o unprovided_a for_o it_o must_v overpasse_v nothing_o we_o observe_v also_o in_o all_o cause_v a_o natural_a and_o vehement_a inclination_n as_o it_o be_v to_o govern_v and_o perfect_v their_o effect_n as_o for_o example_n in_o bruit_n beast_n what_o a_o admirable_a and_o great_a care_n have_v they_o of_o their_o young_a one_o see_v therefore_o that_o whatsoever_o good_a be_v in_o the_o second_o cause_n they_o have_v it_o from_o the_o first_o to_o which_o they_o do_v all_o natural_o desire_n so_o much_o as_o may_v be_v to_o assimilate_v themselves_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o first_o and_o general_a cause_n of_o all_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v a_o common_a parent_n must_v have_v a_o great_a and_o exact_a care_n over_o all_o particular_a effect_n see_v he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o beside_o if_o god_n have_v not_o providence_n over_o humane_a affair_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n be_v it_o because_o he_o can_v or_o because_o he_o know_v not_o how_o to_o govern_v they_o or_o last_o because_o he_o will_v not_o none_o of_o these_o can_v be_v imagine_v of_o god_n for_o shall_v we_o think_v of_o god_n that_o he_o can_v or_o know_v not_o how_o to_o execute_v that_o which_o man_n both_o know_v and_o also_o be_v able_a to_o do_v and_o if_o but_o a_o good_a man_n who_o have_v ability_n and_o skill_n to_o order_v affair_n be_v also_o ever_o willing_a of_o his_o own_o part_n to_o do_v it_o shall_v we_o think_v of_o god_n who_o be_v most_o able_a most_o skilful_a and_o wise_a and_o also_o infinite_o good_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v less_o willing_a again_o if_o god_n almighty_n have_v not_o care_n of_o humane_a affair_n why_o have_v he_o give_v man_n such_o a_o natural_a instinct_n and_o inclination_n to_o worship_v he_o god_n and_o nature_n we_o use_v to_o say_v do_v nothing_o in_o vain_a we_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n only_o of_o madness_n or_o a_o distemper_a mind_n to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o god_n or_o that_o god_n be_v but_o have_v not_o providence_n or_o care_n over_o we_o man_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o part_n &_o duty_n of_o a_o wise_a man_n not_o only_o to_o know_v but_o continual_o to_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o governor_n over_o the_o world_n who_o have_v the_o same_o particular_a providence_n over_o man_n that_o he_o have_v over_o other_o natural_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o conduct_v &_o guide_v they_o all_o by_o due_a mean_n unto_o their_o proper_a and_o last_o end_n and_o because_o it_o be_v his_o property_n to_o dispose_v all_o thing_n sweet_o he_o guide_v every_o one_o of_o they_o to_o their_o end_n in_o such_o man_n as_o be_v most_o congruous_a and_o agreeable_a to_o their_o several_a nature_n and_o man_n in_o particular_a free_o according_a to_o that_o liberty_n of_o his_o will_n which_o be_v natural_a to_o he_o from_o whence_o it_o be_v also_o that_o among_o man_n some_o be_v good_a and_o some_o be_v evil_a the_o good_a be_v they_o who_o life_n be_v agreeable_a to_o reason_n conform_v themselves_o to_o such_o illumination_n and_o inspiration_n as_o they_o have_v from_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n study_v and_o endeavour_v to_o please_v he_o the_o evil_a be_v those_o who_o follow_v not_o reason_n nor_o observe_v any_o rectitude_n or_o regularity_n of_o life_n if_o therefore_o the_o divine_a majesty_n have_v providence_n over_o humane_a affair_n and_o be_v just_a as_o he_o be_v he_o must_v certain_o have_v determine_v with_o himself_o both_o to_o reward_v the_o good_a and_o to_o punish_v such_o as_o be_v evil_a but_o this_o we_o see_v not_o do_v at_o least_o not_o exact_o not_o particular_o in_o this_o life_n therefore_o we_o must_v confess_v some_o other_o life_n to_o come_v wherein_o the_o reward_n of_o the_o just_a and_o punishment_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v more_o eminent_o see_v which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o how_o much_o do_v it_o concern_v we_o to_o please_v god_n by_o a_o good_a life_n and_o see_v as_o we_o have_v elsewhere_o show_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o better_a life_n than_o the_o christian_a life_n be_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o we_o to_o seek_v any_o where_o else_o how_o to_o live_v or_o how_o to_o please_v god_n for_o a_o life_n so_o lead_v can_v be_v without_o its_o due_a reward_n can_v be_v frustrate_v of_o that_o happiness_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o it_o if_o it_o can_v there_o be_v no_o life_n sure_a of_o happiness_n for_o the_o life_n of_o christian_n in_o many_o respect_n show_v that_o god_n have_v peculiar_a providence_n over_o they_o and_o therefore_o if_o their_o faith_n be_v not_o true_a neither_o can_v their_o life_n so_o much_o be_v govern_v by_o it_o nor_o will_v god_n sufter_o they_o long_o in_o that_o error_n who_o goodness_n it_o be_v to_o illuminate_v those_o which_o be_v good_a and_o right_a of_o heart_n and_o to_o harden_v and_o leave_v in_o blindness_n only_o those_o which_o be_v evil_a if_o therefore_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o let_v we_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o let_v we_o live_v christianly_o for_o so_o do_v as_o be_v manifest_a by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v we_o can_v perish_v but_o must_v be_v happy_a in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o next_o after_o a_o man_n have_v by_o this_o first_o consideration_n prepare_v himself_o and_o be_v resolve_v to_o do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o attain_v christian_a life_n the_o second_o precept_n to_o be_v give_v he_o be_v this_o viz._n that_o he_o serious_o consider_v what_o that_o thing_n be_v wherein_o christian_a life_n do_v as_o it_o be_v essential_o consist_v which_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o mean_v that_o grace_n which_o as_o we_o touch_v before_o do_v justify_v &_o make_v a_o man_n good_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o we_o observe_v some_o man_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o begin_v to_o have_v a_o desire_n of_o live_v christianly_o they_o present_o apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o ceremony_n of_o religion_n and_o perform_v they_o exterior_o they_o imagine_v all_o on_o the_o sudden_a that_o they_o be_v become_v exceed_o good_a christian_n with_o which_o vanity_n many_o deceive_v themselves_o pretend_v to_o be_v christian_n but_o false_o be_v indeed_o a_o foolish_a lukewarm_a yet_o very_o arrogant_a sort_n of_o people_n man_n indeed_o look_v only_o on_o the_o outside_n praise_v what_o they_o see_v but_o god_n behold_v the_o heart_n and_o say_v to_o these_o man_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o the_o pharisee_n you_o be_v they_o who_o justify_v yourselves_o before_o man_n but_o god_n know_v your_o heart_n for_o many_o time_n that_o which_o be_v of_o high_a esteem_n with_o man_n be_v abomination_n before_o god_n he_o therefore_o that_o desire_v indeed_o to_o live_v christianly_o let_v he_o endeavour_v with_o the_o utmost_a of_o his_o power_n to_o obtain_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n not_o rest_v till_o by_o some_o good_a sign_n &_o argument_n he_o can_v probable_o persuade_v himself_o that_o he_o have_v obtain_v it_o and_o because_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v give_v in_o and_o by_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n to_o all_o those_o who_o devout_o and_o worthy_o come_v unto_o they_o let_v he_o prepare_v himself_o in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n with_o the_o best_a disposition_n and_o diligence_n he_o can_v in_o particular_a if_o he_o be_v a_o believer_n but_o yet_o not_o baptise_a let_v he_o prepare_v himself_o and_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n with_o atrue_a sincere_a faith_n and_o good_a

to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n and_o thereby_o also_o devout_o sit_v himself_o for_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n and_o in_o this_o course_n let_v he_o persist_v constant_o until_o
