than_o to_o enjoy_v y_z e_o good_a thing_n that_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o yet_o to_o have_v our_o mouth_n close_o and_o to_o think_v no_o more_o upon_o he_o let_v we_o then_o note_v well_o that_o this_o repetion_n be_v not_o superfluous_a when_o ezechias_n say_v so_o many_o time_n that_o since_o his_o life_n be_v prolong_v he_o will_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o styre_v to_o praise_v god_n take_v this_o for_o one_o note_n now_o he_o further_a show_v that_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v for_o a_o sudden_a bray_n as_o many_o can_v well_o praise_v god_n w_o t_o a_o mere_o vehement_a affection_n when_o they_o have_v have_v proof_n of_o his_o goodness_n but_o that_o droup_v away_o by_o and_o by_o and_o the_o memory_n be_v lose_v of_o it_o &_o they_o think_v that_o it_o be_v enough_o y_o it_o at_o one_o time_n they_o have_v testify_v y_o it_o they_o thank_v god_n for_o the_o good_a y_fw-fr t_o they_o have_v receive_v but_o ezechias_n show_v we_o y_o it_o we_o ought_v to_o continue_v therein_o which_o it_o a_o true_a perseverance_n for_o we_o be_v behold_v to_o god_n no_o more_o for_o one_o day_n of_o our_o life_n than_o for_o another_o it_o must_v therefore_o be_v full_o dedicate_v &_o avow_a unto_o he_o so_o sing_v the_o slothfulness_n and_o coldness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o when_o we_o shall_v feel_v that_o our_o zele_n wax_v cold_a for_o fear_v lest_o it_o be_v whole_o quench_v let_v we_o awake_v how_o if_o i_o have_v once_o or_o twice_o reknowledge_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n what_o be_v that_o must_v it_o be_v now_o forget_v and_o if_o i_o bless_v the_o name_n of_o god_n during_o one_o month_n a_o year_n or_o two_o or_o three_o and_o now_o i_o think_v no_o more_o of_o it_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v y_o it_o serve_v i_o but_o to_o make_v i_o so_o much_o y_z e_z more_o gittie_a of_o hypocrisy_n &_o to_o show_v y_z t_o theridamas_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o fire_n of_o stubble_n that_o there_o be_v no_o constancy_n nor_o steadfastness_n if_o then_o we_o behold_v well_o the_o example_n of_o this_o good_a king_n we_o shall_v everye_o one_o be_v the_o more_o prick_v forward_o to_o feed_v ourselves_o no_o more_o in_o this_o idleness_n which_o be_v natural_a unto_o we_o and_o whereunto_o we_o be_v to_o much_o incline_v when_o he_o say_v in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v enclose_v within_o the_o temple_n for_o every_o man_n in_o his_o own_o house_n may_v and_o ought_v to_o praise_v god_n but_o ezechias_n show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o he_o praise_v god_n in_o secret_a but_o that_o he_o will_v stir_v up_o other_o to_o have_v more_o company_n he_o speak_v here_o of_o a_o solemn_a sacrifice_n of_o praise_n which_o he_o will_v make_v to_o god_n in_o a_o great_a assembly_n and_o for_o this_o same_o cause_n our_o lord_n have_v will_v his_o to_o gather_v together_o for_o he_o be_v able_a enough_o to_o have_v teach_v they_o particular_o if_o he_o will_v &_o to_o say_v let_v every_o man_n praise_v i_o in_o his_o chamber_n but_o his_o pleasure_n be_v that_o there_o be_v this_o policy_n that_o we_o be_v knit_v together_o in_o one_o body_n that_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o with_o one_o mouth_n and_o that_o we_o make_v confession_n of_o our_o faith_n with_o one_o accord_n and_o why_o so_o true_a it_o be_v that_o first_o we_o see_v that_o it_o behove_v that_o all_o our_o sense_n be_v apply_v to_o glorify_v he_o but_o there_o be_v also_o a_o second_o point_n that_o every_o one_o stir_n up_o other_o as_o we_o have_v need_n for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o that_o fele_v himself_o dispose_v to_o praise_n god_n but_o he_o have_v yet_o a_o prick_n forward_o when_o he_o shall_v see_v the_o company_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o example_n show_v he_o for_o asmuch_o therefore_o as_o this_o do_v stir_v we_o up_o god_n will_v that_o open_o and_o in_o common_a we_o sing_v his_o praise_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n ezechias_n say_v express_o that_o he_o will_v go_v to_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o praise_v and_o bless_v his_o name_n as_o we_o see_v also_o that_o jonas_n do_v the_o like_a 2._o he_o speak_v of_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o why_o not_o as_o i_o say_v that_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v there_o shut_v up_o &_o hide_v but_o for_o that_o the_o people_n there_o assemble_v together_o &_o for_o that_o he_o know_v that_o this_o shall_v bring_v more_o profit_n because_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o that_o shall_v be_v styre_v up_o by_o his_o example_n lo_o in_o a_o sum_n the_o song_n of_o ezechias_n now_o in_o the_o end_n it_o be_v here_o recite_v that_o y_o e_o prophet_n esay_n command_v to_o make_v he_o a_o plaster_n of_o fig_n upon_o his_o wound_n whereby_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o it_o be_v a_o pestilence_n which_o he_o have_v and_o after_o he_o by_o and_o by_o add_v y_o t_o ezechias_n also_o demand_v a_o token_n which_o be_v grant_v he_o as_o we_o see_v when_o the_o son_n be_v draw_v back_o of_o his_o course_n upon_o the_o dial_n of_o achas_n a_o man_n may_v here_o move_v a_o question_n whether_o this_o plaster_n be_v for_o medicine_n or_o a_o token_n that_o the_o prophet_n give_v he_o and_o it_o seem_v that_o if_o it_o have_v be_v for_o medicine_n it_o shall_v have_v diminish_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n for_o it_o behove_v that_o ezechias_n life_n shall_v be_v miraculous_a why_o do_v he_o not_o then_o heal_v he_o without_o any_o mean_a but_o when_o all_o be_v well_o consider_v the_o sign_n or_o miracle_n that_o be_v give_v to_o ezechias_n when_o the_o son_n stay_v his_o course_n and_o when_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o dial_n be_v draw_v back_o so_o many_o degree_n be_v sufficient_a and_o take_v away_o all_o doubt_n moreover_o although_o ezechias_n use_v this_o plaster_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v say_v that_o his_o heal_v be_v natural_o wrought_v for_o since_o god_n have_v change_v the_o order_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o show_v a_o witness_n so_o evident_a that_o this_o procee_v from_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a benefit_n we_o ought_v to_o content_v ourselves_o with_o that_o and_o we_o see_v many_o time_n that_o god_n be_v serve_v with_o his_o creature_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v sufficient_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v his_o own_o power_n only_o they_z which_o think_v that_o ezechias_n rather_o have_v this_o plaster_n as_o a_o sacrament_n to_o confirm_v he_o do_v think_v that_o the_o fig_n will_v more_o have_v hurt_v his_o wound_n than_o help_v it_o but_o a_o man_n may_v make_v a_o compound_n of_o they_o to_o ripe_a a_o sore_n and_o that_o be_v common_o know_v true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n sometime_o geve_v sign_n that_o seem_v clean_o contrary_a and_o that_o be_v to_o draw_v we_o the_o more_o to_o he_o to_o make_v we_o forsake_v our_o own_o fantasy_n and_o hold_v we_o content_v with_o that_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v as_o how_o god_n promise_v that_o the_o world_n shall_v never_o be_v destroy_v with_o water_n and_o what_o sign_n geve_v he_o thereof_o a_o sign_n that_o natural_o threaten_v we_o rain_n when_o we_o see_v the_o rainbow_n what_o token_n be_v it_o it_o be_v such_o a_o draw_v together_o of_o water_n that_o make_v seem_v we_o shall_v all_o be_v overwhelm_v and_o the_o earth_n shall_v perish_v and_o how_o so_o this_o sign_n be_v give_v we_o of_o god_n to_o make_v we_o know_v that_o therth_n shall_v never_o be_v destroy_v with_o overflow_v of_o water_n yea_o but_o it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o learn_v to_o stay_v upon_o his_o truth_n and_o to_o stop_v our_o eye_n against_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o against_o all_o that_o we_o conceive_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v of_o so_o sufficient_a credit_n with_o we_o that_o we_o receive_v it_o without_o gainsay_v so_o they_o god_n work_v well_o in_o such_o sort_n but_o as_o to_o this_o place_n we_o may_v rather_o judge_v that_o the_o prophet_n to_o assuage_v the_o grief_n of_o ezechias_n give_v he_o this_o remedy_n like_v to_o a_o fire_n that_o burn_v a_o man_n and_o so_o when_o god_n have_v prolong_v the_o life_n to_o this_o good_a king_n â–ª_o he_o will_v yet_o of_o abundant_a grace_n add_v this_o goodness_n also_o that_o the_o pain_n shall_v be_v mitigate_v then_o the_o prophet_n give_v he_o this_o as_o it_o be_v a_o overplus_n that_o god_n have_v not_o only_o prolong_v his_o life_n but_o also_o will_v not_o have_v he_o endure_v so_o much_o or_o suffer_v the_o torment_n which_o he_o feel_v before_o thus_o behold_v how_o in_o all_o and_o every_o
be_v yet_o we_o do_v but_o languish_v here_o but_o there_o be_v but_o few_o that_o know_v this_o so_o much_o y_o it_o more_o they_o ought_v we_o to_o note_v well_o this_o doctrine_n which_o i_o have_v here_o before_o touch_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o both_o in_o death_n and_o in_o all_o other_o affliction_n we_o be_v more_o accumber_v and_o trouble_v with_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n than_o with_o the_o evyll_n that_o we_o can_v feel_v if_o one_o be_v afflict_v with_o poverty_n so_o that_o he_o have_v hunger_n and_o thirst_n a_o other_o be_v strike_v with_o sickness_n and_o suffer_v great_a tourmente_n another_o be_v persecute_v of_o man_n so_o as_o he_o have_v no_o time_n of_o rest_n and_o more_o if_o in_o the_o end_n death_n come_v before_o our_o eye_n we_o ought_v to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o much_o to_o be_v fear_v as_o the_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n of_o god_n but_o man_n do_v clean_a contrary_n and_o this_o mark_n why_o i_o have_v say_v that_o we_o must_v note_v this_o doctrine_n the_o better_a because_o a_o man_n may_v see_v that_o the_o poor_a sick_a person_n and_o they_o that_o be_v afflict_v in_o what_o sort_n soever_o it_o be_v will_v cry_v alas_o one_o will_v cry_v the_o arm_n another_o will_v cry_v the_o leg_n the_o one_o here_o the_o other_o there_o but_o yet_o they_o come_v never_o to_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o evil_n and_o that_o procee_v of_o the_o leprosy_n that_o be_v in_o us._n for_o we_o be_v so_o dull_a witted_a that_o we_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o know_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o learn_v when_o we_o be_v beat_v with_o such_o rod_n as_o i_o have_v say_v to_o make_v we_o look_v upon_o the_o cause_n whence_o this_o evil_a procee_v which_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o feel_v our_o sin_n and_o that_o he_o sommon_v we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v there_o come_v as_o it_o be_v before_o our_o judge_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o come_v there_o with_o sleyghte_n and_o mean_n of_o excuse_n but_o with_o frank_a and_o free_a confession_n and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o only_o make_v with_o mouth_n or_o assent_v by_o writing_n but_o that_o we_o be_v wound_v even_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o herte_n feel_v what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v do_v against_o the_o will_n of_o our_o god_n to_o have_v stir_v he_o up_o against_o we_o &_o to_o have_v make_v war_n against_o his_o justice_n this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v to_o hold_v in_o mind_n when_o we_o see_v that_o the_o king_n ezechias_n be_v in_o such_o extremity_n of_o anguish_n because_o god_n do_v punish_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n yea_o and_o this_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o that_o though_o before_o he_o have_v protest_v that_o he_o have_v walk_v in_o purity_n and_o uprightness_n of_o life_n and_o that_o he_o have_v study_v all_o his_o life_n long_o to_o obey_v and_o please_v god_n nevertheless_o he_o rest_v not_o his_o mind_n upon_o his_o virtue_n nor_o his_o own_o merit_n he_o enter_v not_o into_o plea_n with_o god_n for_o he_o see_v well_o that_o all_o that_o can_v nothing_o profit_v he_o nor_o bring_v he_o and_o relefe_v therefore_o he_o set_v not_o fourthe_o what_o his_o life_n have_v be_v but_o he_o knowlege_v that_o rightfullye_o he_o be_v afflict_v so_o then_o we_o learn_v when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o correct_v with_o his_o rod_n not_o to_o grudge_v at_o it_o as_o if_o he_o do_v we_o wrong_n as_o if_o he_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o our_o merit_n or_o as_o if_o he_o use_v great_a sharpness_n with_o we_o than_o we_o have_v deserve_v let_v all_o such_o blasphemy_n be_v beat_v down_o and_o let_v we_o confess_v that_o he_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o punish_v we_o yea_o not_o only_o to_o expulse_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o also_o to_o throw_v we_o down_o into_o the_o gulf_n of_o hell_n see_v then_o how_o we_o deserve_v to_o be_v order_v if_o we_o look_v upon_o all_o our_o own_o life_n moreover_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o god_n send_v we_o affliction_n which_o seem_v grevous_a and_o sharp_a unto_o we_o see_v we_o see_v that_o ezechias_n have_v walk_v before_o we_o to_o show_v we_o the_o way_n men_z when_o they_o have_v have_v any_o good_a affection_n and_o desire_v to_o serve_v god_n do_v much_o marvel_n if_o god_n punish_v they_o more_o than_o the_o wicked_a and_o they_o suppose_v that_o they_o have_v lose_v their_o labour_n this_o tentation_n be_v to_o common_a as_o we_o see_v that_o even_o david_n be_v also_o torment_v with_o it_o when_o he_o say_v what_o mean_v this_o for_o i_o see_v the_o despiser_n of_o god_n prosper_v and_o be_v in_o jollity_n 73._o and_o make_v their_o triumph_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o do_v nothing_o but_o sup_v up_o the_o drink_n of_o sorrow_n from_o the_o evening_n to_o the_o morrow_n i_o have_v no_o rest_n it_o seem_v then_o that_o it_o be_v time_n lose_v to_o serve_v god_n behold_v how_o at_o the_o extremity_n he_o be_v beat_v down_o if_o god_n by_o his_o wonderful_a virtue_n have_v not_o uphold_v he_o and_o because_o the_o like_a may_v come_v unto_o we_o let_v we_o make_v we_o a_o buckler_n of_o the_o example_n that_o be_v here_o set_v before_o we_o of_o the_o king_n ezechias_n for_o we_o have_v seen_v here_o before_o how_o he_o have_v frame_v all_o his_o life_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n he_o have_v a_o zele_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o many_o people_n to_o purge_v all_o his_o land_n of_o all_o superstition_n and_o ydolatry_n many_o alarume_n be_v stir_v up_o against_o he_o to_o make_v he_o somewhat_o to_o revolt_v but_o that_o nothing_o stay_v he_o but_o that_o he_o set_v up_o the_o true_a and_o pure_a religyon_n &_o in_o his_o private_a life_n he_o seek_v nothing_o but_o that_o god_n may_v be_v gloryfy_v in_o and_o through_o all_o and_o yet_o look_v how_o god_n come_v to_o assail_v he_o yea_o and_o that_o of_o a_o strange_a fashion_n for_o he_o be_v as_o a_o lion_n that_o break_v his_o bone_n so_o when_o we_o see_v that_o ezechias_n be_v thus_o handle_v ought_v not_o we_o to_o learn_v to_o bear_v patient_o the_o correction_n that_o god_n shall_v send_v us._n loe_o this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v to_o conceive_v of_o this_o place_n now_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o passion_n that_o ezechias_n endure_v and_o although_o he_o slip_v here_o of_o the_o henge_n yet_o still_o in_o the_o midst_n thereof_o he_o declare_v the_o love_n that_o he_o have_v to_o god_n and_o that_o he_o desire_v not_o this_o present_a life_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o they_o that_o

for_o a_o while_n but_o ezechias_n show_v well_o that_o he_o be_v guide_v by_o a_o other_o spirit_n he_o sayethe_v i_o have_v say_v in_o the_o cut_n short_a of_o my_o day_n i_o shall_v go_v down_o
