reason_n do_v cry_v with_o solomon_n remember_v thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n this_o be_v the_o king_n commendation_n or_o greeting_n to_o the_o college_n of_o youth_n but_o how_o shall_v young_a man_n remember_v god_n when_o old_a man_n forget_v he_o if_o noah_n be_v drink_v who_o shall_v rebuke_v cham_n it_o be_v time_n to_o remember_v god_n in_o age_n or_o to_o forget_v he_o for_o ever_o therefore_o as_o the_o isralite_n gather_v twice_o so_o much_o manna_n the_o day_n before_o the_o sabboath_n as_o they_o gather_v any_o day_n before_o that_o because_o they_o may_v not_o gather_v upon_o the_o sabbaoth_n so_o the_o gray_a head_n which_o look_v every_o day_n for_o the_o last_o sabbaoth_n when_o he_o shall_v rest_v in_o the_o grave_n shall_v pray_v twice_o as_o much_o hear_v twice_o as_o much_o do_v twice_o as_o much_o to_o prepare_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o body_n &_o soul_n ready_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n because_o the_o night_n be_v at_o hand_n when_o he_o can_v hear_v nor_o pray_v nor_o repent_v any_o more_o it_o be_v say_v the_o devil_n be_v very_o busy_a because_o his_o time_n be_v short_a but_o a_o old_a man_n be_v short_a what_o haste_n shall_v he_o make_v that_o must_v go_v far_o than_o the_o moor_n than_o the_o sun_n in_o a_o year_n or_o a_o mouth_n or_o a_o week_n which_o the_o saint_n be_v go_v all_o their_o life_n therefore_o if_o youth_n have_v need_n of_o leg_n age_n have_v need_n of_o wing_n to_o fly_v unto_o god_n but_o as_o christ_n say_v the_o poor_a receive_v the_o gospel_n though_o the_o rich_a be_v more_o bind_v so_o we_o may_v say_v the_o young_a man_n receive_v the_o gospel_n though_o the_o old_a man_n have_v more_o cause_n the_o young_a man_n follow_v christ_n the_o young_a man_n hear_v the_o word_n the_o young_a man_n sanctify_v themselves_o the_o young_a man_n stand_v for_o the_o church_n the_o young_a man_n bear_v the_o heat_n of_o this_o day_n old_a noah_n be_v drink_v old_a lot_n be_v sleepy_a old_a samson_n have_v lose_v his_o strength_n once_o the_o young_a brother_n do_v steal_v the_o blessing_n from_o the_o elder_a &_o now_o he_o have_v get_v it_o again_o as_o the_o malice_n of_o esau_n show_v which_o persecute_v he_o for_o it_o i_o speak_v it_o to_o their_o shame_n they_o that_o wear_v the_o fur_n and_o scarlet_n as_o though_o they_o be_v all_o wisdom_n and_o gravity_n and_o holiness_n even_o to_o the_o skirt_n may_v say_v as_o zedechias_n say_v to_o micaiah_n when_o do_v the_o spirit_n depart_v from_o i_o and_o go_v to_o thou_o when_o do_v zeal_n depart_v from_o we_o and_o go_v to_o you_o they_o be_v so_o nousele_v to_o the_o world_n and_o acquaint_v with_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v too_o late_o now_o for_o the_o world_n to_o speak_v unto_o they_o they_o may_v look_v upon_o the_o sign_n of_o wisdom_n and_o gravity_n and_o holiness_n when_o they_o see_v their_o long_a beard_n and_o gray_a head_n &_o side_n gown_n and_o ask_v why_o be_v this_o bush_n hang_v out_o and_o no_o wine_n within_o what_o marvel_v then_o if_o they_o be_v not_o reverence_v but_o mock_v and_o point_v at_o when_o sem_fw-mi and_z japhet_n have_v need_v to_o come_v again_o and_o cover_v their_o nakedness_n what_o a_o shame_n be_v it_o to_o the_o israelite_n when_o christ_n say_v by_o a_o canaanite_n i_o have_v not_o find_v so_o great_a faith_n in_o israel_n so_o what_o a_o shame_n be_v it_o to_o the_o elder_n that_o christ_n may_v say_v again_o i_o have_v not_o find_v so_o great_a faith_n nor_o knowledge_n nor_o zeal_n in_o master_n and_o father_n and_o ruler_n as_o in_o servant_n and_o child_n and_o prentice_n which_o make_v a_o old_a father_n of_o this_o city_n say_v which_o now_o be_v with_o god_n that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o good_a to_o be_v do_v in_o these_o day_n it_o be_v the_o young_a man_n that_o must_v do_v it_o for_o the_o old_a man_n be_v out_o of_o date_n their_o courage_n stoop_v like_o their_o shoulder_n

leave_v her_o grape_n nor_o the_o olive_n her_o fatness_n nor_o the_o figtree_n her_o sweetness_n to_o be_v a_o king_n but_o the_o bramble_n do_v he_o be_v not_o a_o vine_n nor_o a_o olive_n nor_o a_o

lord_n jesus_n bring_v us._n finis_fw-la the_o trial_n of_o the_o righteous_n psalm_n 34._o 19_o many_o be_v the_o trouble_n of_o the_o righteous_a but_o the_o lord_n deliver_v he_o out_o of_o all_o the_o sum_n of_o this_o verse_n be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v let_v the_o righteous_a look_n for_o mo_z trouble_n than_o other_o &_o likewise_o let_v they_o hope_v for_o great_a comfort_n than_o other_o for_o when_o they_o be_v well_o they_o shall_v be_v eclipse_v again_o to_o show_v that_o their_o light_n be_v but_o borrow_v and_o when_o they_o be_v eclipse_v their_o light_n shall_v return_v to_o show_v their_o difference_n from_o they_o who_o god_n hate_v which_o fall_v from_o plague_n to_o plague_n as_o they_o run_v from_o sin_n to_o sin_n this_o verse_n have_v three_o part_n for_o here_o the_o righteous_a be_v the_o agent_n their_o condition_n trouble_v and_o the_o lord_n their_o deliverer_n so_o many_o thing_n fall_v out_o contrary_a unto_o our_o mind_n every_o day_n that_o he_o which_o want_v patience_n in_o this_o world_n be_v like_o a_o man_n which_o stand_v tremble_v in_o the_o field_n without_o his_o armour_n because_o every_o one_o can_v strike_v he_o and_o he_o can_v strike_v none_o so_o the_o least_o push_n of_o pain_n or_o loss_n or_o disgrace_n do_v trouble_v that_o man_n more_o which_o have_v not_o the_o skill_n to_o suffer_v than_o twenty_o trial_n can_v move_v he_o which_o be_v arm_v with_o patience_n like_o a_o golden_a shield_n in_o his_o hand_n to_o break_v the_o stroke_n of_o every_o cross_n and_o save_v the_o heart_n though_o the_o body_n suffer_v for_o while_o the_o heart_n be_v whole_a all_o be_v well_o a_o sound_a spirit_n say_v solomon_n will_v bear_v his_o infirmity_n but_o a_o wound_a spirit_n what_o can_v sustain_v pro._n 19_o 14._o therefore_o as_o the_o lid_n be_v make_v to_o open_a and_o shut_v to_o save_v the_o eye_n so_o patience_n be_v set_v to_o keep_v the_o soul_n and_o save_v the_o heart_n whole_a to_o cheer_v the_o body_n again_o therefore_o if_o you_o mark_v when_o you_o can_v go_v by_o a_o offence_n and_o take_v a_o little_a wrong_n and_o suffer_v a_o trouble_n quiet_o you_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o your_o heart_n as_o if_o you_o have_v get_v a_o victory_n and_o the_o more_o your_o patience_n be_v still_o the_o
antichristes_n religion_n yet_o we_o be_v of_o antichristes_n fashion_n so_o long_o as_o we_o show_v forth_o the_o same_o badge_n and_o cognisance_n you_o know_v what_o i_o mean_v this_o be_v to_o jump_v with_o the_o world_n and_o leap_v to_o hell_n this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v in_o fashion_n but_o out_o of_o fashion_n therefore_o now_o you_o shall_v hear_v the_o best_a fashion_n it_o follow_v be_v you_o change_v by_o the_o renew_n of_o your_o mind_n this_o be_v the_o second_o part_n of_o your_o reasonable_a service_n the_o change_v and_o renew_v of_o the_o mind_n to_o the_o likeness_n wherein_o it_o be_v create_v as_o before_o he_o require_v you_o to_o give_v your_o body_n so_o here_o he_o require_v you_o to_o give_v your_o mind_n outward_a service_n be_v like_o a_o tinkle_a cymbal_n though_o it_o have_v never_o so_o pleasant_a a_o sound_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o please_v god_n because_o it_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o please_v he_o so_o be_v the_o service_n of_o the_o eye_n or_o the_o ear_n or_o the_o hand_n or_o the_o foot_n if_o the_o mind_n be_v away_o it_o may_v please_v other_o like_o the_o cymbal_n but_o it_o please_v not_o god_n the_o body_n be_v a_o servant_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n but_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n make_v to_o the_o bodily_a service_n but_o to_o the_o spiritual_a service_n for_o unless_o the_o mind_n work_n the_o body_n will_v serve_v but_o a_o while_n therefore_o make_v clean_o within_o say_v christ_n 26_o sanctification_n begin_v within_o until_o the_o mind_n be_v renew_v the_o body_n be_v never_o sacrifice_v therefore_o now_o paul_n show_v as_o it_o be_v the_o knife_n that_o must_v kill_v this_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v the_o mind_n the_o mind_n must_v sacrifice_v the_o body_n 11._o be_v you_o change_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v suffer_v yourselves_o to_o be_v change_v as_o noah_n suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v cover_v that_o be_v grienâ_n not_o the_o spirit_n 5._o do_v not_o resist_v god_n be_v not_o against_o your_o conversion_n and_o god_n will_v convert_v you_o god_n will_v comfort_v you_o god_n will_v renew_v you_o by_o this_o renew_n of_o our_o mind_n paul_n call_v to_o our_o remembrance_n that_o once_o we_o have_v a_o pure_a mind_n and_o that_o we_o come_v the_o near_o unto_o god_n the_o near_o we_o draw_v to_o that_o similitude_n again_o and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n call_v so_o often_o for_o a_o new_a man_n a_o new_a creature_n 10_o a_o new_a heart_n as_o you_o may_v read_v psal_n 51._o 10._o david_n pray_v the_o lord_n to_o create_v he_o a_o new_a heart_n not_o to_o correct_v his_o old_a heart_n but_o to_o create_v he_o a_o new_a heart_n show_v that_o his_o heart_n be_v like_o a_o old_a garment_n so_o rot_v and_o totter_a that_o he_o can_v make_v no_o good_a of_o it_o by_o patch_v and_o piece_v but_o must_v even_o cast_v it_o off_o and_o take_v a_o new_a therefore_o paul_n say_v cast_v off_o the_o old_a man_n not_o pick_v he_o and_o wash_v he_o till_o he_o be_v clean_o but_o cast_v he_o off_o and_o begin_v a_o new_a as_o david_n do_v will_v you_o know_v what_o this_o renew_n be_v it_o be_v the_o repair_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n until_o we_o be_v like_o adam_n when_o he_o dwell_v in_o paradise_n as_o there_o be_v a_o whole_a old_a man_n so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o whole_a new_a man_n the_o old_a man_n must_v change_v with_o the_o new_a man_n wisdom_n for_o wisdom_n love_n for_o love_n fear_v for_o fear_n his_o worldy_a wisdom_n for_o heavenly_a wisdom_n his_o carnal_a love_n for_o spiritual_a love_n his_o servile_a fear_n for_o christian_a fear_n his_o idle_a thought_n for_o holy_a thought_n his_o vain_a word_n for_o wholesome_a word_n his_o fleshly_a work_n for_o sanctify_a work_n if_o the_o mind_n must_v be_v so_o renew_v i_o will_v know_v of_o the_o papist_n where_o be_v their_o pure_a natural_n if_o our_o natural_n be_v pure_a our_o mind_n need_v not_o to_o be_v renew_v for_o it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v pure_a and_o evil_a to_o change_v it_o but_o because_o there_o be_v no_o pureness_n in_o we_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o change_v again_o let_v they_o tell_v i_o why_o our_o mind_n shall_v be_v renew_v if_o we_o have_v free_a will_n to_o do_v good_a if_o we_o listen_v but_o because_o our_o mind_n be_v so_o corrupt_v that_o we_o have_v no_o free_a will_n to_o good_a nor_o will_v to_o do_v good_a neither_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v our_o mind_n renew_v thus_o one_o word_n of_o god_n have_v batter_v two_o castle_n of_o antichrist_n finis_fw-la a_o look_a glass_n for_o christian_n rom._n 12._o 3._o i_o say_v through_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v give_v unto_o i_o to_o every_o one_o that_o be_v among_o you_o that_o no_o man_n presume_v to_o understand_v above_o that_o which_o be_v meet_v to_o understand_v but_o that_o he_o understande_v according_a to_o sobriety_n as_o god_n have_v deal_v to_o every_o man_n the_o measure_n of_o faith_n first_o of_o the_o preface_n and_o then_o of_o the_o counsel_n in_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n paul_n persuade_v the_o roman_n by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o here_o he_o persuade_v they_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n towards_o he_o paul_n speak_v like_o a_o man_n in_o his_o deathbed_n which_o be_v set_v to_o give_v good_a counsel_n and_o go_v from_o one_o lesson_n to_o another_o as_o though_o he_o will_v speak_v all_o with_o a_o breath_n first_o he_o counsel_v they_o to_o make_v their_o body_n serve_v god_n because_o the_o body_n be_v a_o servant_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n than_o he_o forbid_v they_o to_o fashion_v themselves_o to_o the_o world_n because_o no_o man_n can_v serve_v two_o contrary_a master_n then_o he_o advise_v they_o to_o renew_v their_o mind_n because_o except_v the_o mind_n be_v reform_v the_o body_n will_v serve_v but_o a_o while_n and_o he_o set_v they_o to_o seek_v god_n will_v because_o the_o will_n of_o man_n do_v seduce_v he_o and_o now_o to_o make_v up_o this_o testament_n as_o it_o be_v he_o admonish_v they_o to_o rest_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n will_n and_o not_o to_o search_v further_o nor_o to_o be_v proud_a of_o their_o knowledge_n but_o to_o use_v their_o knowledge_n to_o humble_v their_o pride_n this_o lesson_n may_v seem_v vain_a to_o the_o roman_n for_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o be_v wise_a and_o he_o councel_v they_o not_o to_o be_v too_o wise_a paul_n say_v that_o the_o gentile_n seek_v after_o wisdom_n 22_o but_o he_o say_v there_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n seem_v foolishness_n unto_o they_o which_o be_v wisdom_n &_o therefore_o god_n call_v they_o a_o foolish_a nation_n because_o they_o count_v the_o true_a wisdom_n foolishness_n 21._o and_o their_o own_o folly_n wisdom_n for_o this_o cause_n there_o be_v such_o emulation_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_a one_o despise_v another_o because_o they_o do_v not_o accord_v what_o wisdom_n be_v although_o both_o seek_v for_o it_o therefore_o that_o you_o may_v not_o only_o seek_v wisdom_n as_o the_o gentile_n do_v but_o find_v wisdom_n as_o solomon_n do_v preface_n paul_n lay_v a_o foundation_n for_o wisdom_n to_o stay_v upon_o which_o he_o call_v sobriety_n be_v wise_a according_a to_o sobriety_n which_o be_v this_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v give_v to_o i_o because_o he_o speak_v to_o all_o and_o his_o charge_n be_v of_o great_a moment_n and_o they_o which_o think_v themselves_o wise_a will_v hardly_o be_v persuade_v but_o that_o they_o be_v wise_a therefore_o he_o come_v with_o authority_n like_o a_o ambassador_n from_o god_n and_o say_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v give_v to_o i_o that_o be_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o my_o apostleship_n which_o i_o have_v not_o receive_v from_o man_n but_o from_o god_n nor_o from_o earth_n but_o from_o heaven_n i_o charge_v you_o that_o no_o man_n among_o you_o whether_o he_o be_v

but_o that_o he_o be_v wise_a according_a to_o sobriety_n that_o be_v walk_v within_o his_o vocation_n be_v humble_a in_o his_o knowledge_n and_o use_v his_o gift_n to_o the_o profit_n of_o other_o as_o god_n have_v give_v to_o every_o man_n the_o measure_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v remember_v that_o it_o be_v a_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o have_v deal_v gift_n
