thing_n it_o be_v therefore_o meet_a that_o he_o take_v our_o fault_n to_o himself_o and_o not_o lay_v they_o to_o our_o charge_n when_o it_o shall_v chance_v we_o at_o any_o time_n to_o do_v amiss_o but_o i_o beseech_v thou_o mark_v diligent_o and_o that_o with_o reverence_n the_o truth_n in_o this_o case_n for_o albeit_o that_o no_o man_n be_v of_o power_n nor_o can_v once_o resist_v the_o holy_a will_n of_o god_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o his_o will_n be_v never_o so_o merciless_o bend_v against_o we_o that_o he_o be_v find_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o perdition_n neither_o do_v he_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o proud_a egyptian_a pharaoh_n to_o that_o end_n he_o will_v in_o deed_n make_v he_o stubborn_a and_o stiffnecked_a and_o thereby_o wilful_o damn_v he_o but_o well_o foresee_v and_o know_v by_o his_o omnipotency_n and_o godly_a wisdom_n that_o his_o heart_n be_v already_o harden_v and_o that_o through_o his_o own_o wilful_a malice_n and_o great_a pride_n which_o though_o at_o that_o time_n it_o deserve_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n by_o his_o justice_n short_a and_o sudden_a destruction_n yet_o he_o for_o a_o space_n do_v suffer_v it_o to_o continue_v in_o he_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n through_o gentleness_n by_o little_a and_o little_a do_v punish_v and_o correct_v it_o both_o that_o pharaoh_n shall_v the_o better_o perceive_v and_o know_v in_o

omnipotency_n gentleness_n and_o great_a clemency_n throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n the_o which_o because_o he_o do_v so_o abuse_v the_o great_a gentleness_n than_o offer_v he_o of_o god_o and_o thereby_o the_o rather_o take_v proud_o upon_o he_o further_o occasion_n to_o be_v a_o wilful_a repugner_n of_o his_o godly_a will_n then_o right_o obedient_a or_o subject_a to_o his_o service_n god_n therefore_o most_o worthy_o make_v of_o his_o fix_a mischief_n pride_n and_o malice_n great_a glory_n an●_z immortal_a fame_n towards_o himself_o and_o so_o that_o which_o in_o one_o case_n be_v of_o

perpetual_a renoun_n and_o glory_n thus_o if_o i_o will_v i_o can_v here_o answer_v other_o thing_n most_o true_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o righteous_a god_n but_o short_o to_o conclude_v god_n have_v in_o any_o creature_n all_o pride_n and_o contempt_n in_o utter_a detestation_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o thing_n in_o all_o this_o world_n can_v be_v more_o proud_a or_o reproachful_a before_o god_n than_o for_o a_o man_n which_o be_v of_o himself_o but_o a_o very_a vile_a creature_n to_o take_v any_o matter_n in_o hand_n against_o god_n and_o his_o maker_n or_o to_o contend_v

the_o hand_n of_o his_o creature_n to_o be_v check_v and_o reason_v withal_o say_v why_o make_v thou_o i_o thus_o why_o have_v thou_o form_v i_o on_o this_o wise_a for_o such_o a_o purpose_n true_o it_o behove_v all_o creature_n of_o mankind_n to_o consider_v most_o reverent_o with_o then selue_o that_o as_o the_o earth_n and_o clay_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o potter_n and_o to_o work_v it_o for_o his_o own_o praise_n to_o what_o use_n he_o will_v even_o so_o be_v man_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o almighty_a god_n our_o creator_n to_o be_v turn_v &_o deal_v withal_o at_o his_o own_o

cleanly_a use_n and_o some_o again_o he_o make_v to_o serve_v for_o such_o purpose_n as_o be_v more_o unclean_a and_o filthy_a for_o both_o must_v be_v and_o be_v to_o be_v use_v of_o necessity_n as_o it_o always_o lie_v in_o the_o potter_n arbitrament_n to_o make_v of_o clay_n what_o vessel_n he_o will_v without_o the_o controlment_n of_o the_o pot_n and_o much_o more_o vile_a be_v a_o man_n in_o relation_n to_o god_n than_o the_o clay_n in_o comparison_n to_o the_o potter_n wherefore_o if_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o great_a stubborness_n &_o pride_n for_o the_o clay_n to_o endente_fw-la with_o his_o potter_n and_o maker_n for_o this_o fashion_n or_o that_o use_n much_o more_o monstruous_a shall_v be_v the_o pride_n of_o man_n unreverent_o to_o argue_v and_o descant_v upon_o the_o secret_a counsel_n of_o god_n the_o creator_n towards_o he_o which_o be_v so_o much_o above_o the_o capacity_n of_o we_o wretched_a creature_n that_o scarce_o we_o be_v able_a to_o attain_v to_o a_o shadow_n or_o once_o to_o dream_v of_o they_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o potter_n make_v not_o his_o pot_n to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v forthwith_o have_v they_o break_v or_o cast_v away_o from_o he_o again_o after_o he_o have_v once_o make_v they_o but_o to_o serve_v he_o rather_o at_o his_o commandment_n in_o such_o office_n as_o he_o first_o appoint_v they_o with_o who_o service_n he_o hold_v himself_o well_o content_v if_o so_o be_v they_o do_v it_o unto_o he_o as_o he_o have_v take_v order_n and_o place_v they_o even_o so_o god_n do_v not_o create_v man_n to_o any_o such_o intent_n that_o he_o shall_v after_o his_o creation_n fall_v into_o sin_n and_o be_v damn_v but_o clean_o contrary_a he_o make_v all_o man_n and_o put_v they_o in_o sundry_a degree_n and_o

and_o not_o to_o fall_v from_o he_o and_o to_o serve_v the_o devil_n for_o that_o come_v only_o of_o their_o own_o stubborn_a malice_n and_o not_o of_o his_o will_n and_o appointment_n therefore_o

in_o thyself_o against_o he_o and_o so_o shall_v thou_o best_o know_v he_o find_v he_o always_o thy_o love_a god_n rejoice_v only_o in_o he_o and_o extol_v from_o thine_o heart_n the_o holy_a name_n of_o thy_o maker_n yet_o further_o way_n with_o thyself_o that_o the_o potter_n in_o his_o faculty_n may_v chance_v to_o err_v and_o do_v amiss_o but_o god_n can_v not_o possible_o so_o do_v let_v this_o then_o be_v a_o sufficient_a persuasion_n for_o thou_o to_o believe_v that_o as_o god_n even_o thy_o god_n in_o his_o almightiness_n &_o omnipotency_n can_v do_v &_o may_v do_v all_o thing_n
