for_o this_o cause_n the_o holy_a scripture_n make_v often_o mention_v of_o a_o heart_n that_o be_v pour_v out_o like_o water_n for_o fear_n 9_o or_o that_o melt_v like_o wax_n and_o in_o jeremy_n

to_o consider_v of_o touch_v this_o point_n the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o man_n have_v not_o sin_v after_o that_o god_n by_o creation_n have_v in_o great_a largesse_n make_v he_o partaker_n of_o

our_o first_o parent_n have_v transgress_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n by_o eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n they_o know_v that_o they_o be_v naked_a and_o cover_v themselves_o with_o leaf_n and_o for_o a_o punishment_n of_o their_o offence_n it_o be_v say_v unto_o they_o 19_o that_o they_o shall_v eat_v their_o bread_n in_o the_o sweat_n of_o their_o face_n under_o which_o word_n of_o bread_n

daily_o make_v to_o god_n when_o we_o demand_v of_o he_o our_o daily_a bread_n point_n the_o second_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o note_v in_o this_o matter_n touch_v the_o nakedness_n of_o man_n be_v this_o that_o god_n will_v admonish_v he_o not_o only_o by_o the_o whole_a frame_n and_o composition_n of_o his_o body_n and_o of_o all_o his_o member_n but_o also_o by_o his_o very_a skin_n that_o he_o create_v he_o to_o live_v in_o company_n and_o fellowship_n and_o in_o peace_n with_o those_o of_o his_o own_o kind_n to_o help_v all_o and_o to_o hurt_v none_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o create_v he_o with_o natural_a weapon_n as_o he_o do_v other_o live_a creature_n unto_o who_o he_o give_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o their_o defence_n &_o preservation_n for_o some_o of_o they_o have_v strength_n and_o weapon_n by_o nature_n to_o resist_v their_o enemy_n other_o want_v this_o have_v swiftness_n to_o convey_v themselves_o out_o of_o all_o danger_n and_o some_o want_v both_o these_o have_v yet_o subtlety_n &_o place_n of_o refuge_n to_o defend_v themselves_o withal_o as_o for_o man_n god_n have_v place_v he_o in_o this_o world_n unarm_v and_o naked_a so_o that_o if_o man_n be_v dispose_v to_o hurt_v and_o to_o war_v one_o upon_o another_o himself_o they_o must_v deform_v themselves_o and_o borowe_n weapon_n from_o other_o whereby_o they_o transform_v themselves_o &_o become_v monstrous_a as_o though_o they_o be_v transfigure_v into_o savage_a beast_n &_o into_o monster_n for_o they_o have_v not_o as_o have_v be_v say_v hard_a &_o strong_a hide_n as_o some_o brute_n beast_n have_v neither_o prickle_n &_o dart_n in_o they_o as_o hedgehog_n and_o porcupine_n have_v neither_o be_v their_o foot_n hand_n &_o nail_n like_v to_o the_o hoof_n of_o horse_n ass_n

they_o sharp_a bill_n like_v to_o bird_n neither_o have_v he_o arm_v they_o with_o sting_n or_o with_o venom_n as_o he_o have_v do_v venomous_a beast_n true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n have_v
property_n like_o a_o busy_a woorkeman_n to_o be_v in_o the_o body_n have_v all_o her_o instrument_n therein_o workman_n now_o when_o a_o woorkeman_n woork_v with_o his_o tool_n he_o must_v have_v within_o himself_o the_o virtue_n and_o skill_n to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o do_v because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o instrument_n whereby_o he_o work_v for_o albeit_o they_o be_v appropriate_v and_o fit_v to_o the_o work_n that_o be_v wrought_v yet_o of_o themselves_o they_o can_v do_v nothing_o at_o all_o except_o they_o be_v set_v on_o work_n by_o the_o woorkeman_n because_o they_o have_v not_o in_o they_o any_o virtue_n to_o work_v but_o this_o power_n and_o faculty_n be_v only_o in_o the_o woorkeman_n to_o who_o it_o belong_v to_o perfect_v his_o work_n so_o if_o the_o virtue_n of_o work_v be_v not_o in_o the_o soul_n it_o can_v work_v no_o more_o with_o instrument_n then_o without_o therefore_o albeit_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o natural_a heat_n the_o humour_n and_o the_o spirit_n work_v in_o the_o body_n and_o effect_v something_o therein_o yet_o we_o must_v know_v that_o they_o do_v nothing_o there_o of_o themselves_o but_o that_o they_o receive_v of_o the_o soul_n whatsoever_o they_o have_v similitude_n as_o when_o a_o painter_n draw_v a_o picture_n his_o pencil_n and_o colour_n have_v it_o not_o of_o themselves_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v do_v by_o they_o

if_o need_v require_v now_o in_o the_o consideration_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n we_o see_v wonderful_a degree_n in_o the_o union_n and_o conjunction_n that_o be_v between_o the_o body_n and_o the_o

with_o that_o into_o which_o the_o first_o father_n bring_v all_o his_o child_n by_o his_o sin_n as_o we_o have_v before_o touch_v wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o search_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o original_a sin_n wherewith_o they_o be_v infect_v either_o in_o their_o creation_n because_o they_o be_v create_v by_o god_n of_o a_o divine_a and_o immortal_a essence_n or_o in_o the_o

this_o void_v place_n be_v ordain_v to_o this_o end_n that_o the_o urine_n may_v not_o fret_v and_o rend_v in_o sunder_o the_o tender_a skin_n of_o the_o infant_n who_o be_v therefore_o cover_v with_o
