themselves_o it_o be_v the_o revenge_a power_n of_o some_o angry_a god_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o somenotorious_a wretch_n that_o be_v amongst_o they_o see_v therefore_o neither_o they_o nor_o jonah_n pray_v have_v appease_v the_o tempest_n but_o it_o be_v rather_o increase_v and_o no_o man_n confess_v he_o be_v that_o sinner_n they_o take_v counsel_n and_o agree_v to_o find_v he_o out_o by_o lot_n wherein_o let_v we_o observe_v first_o never_o a_o one_o of_o they_o be_v of_o david_n spirit_n who_o when_o he_o see_v the_o people_n plague_v say_v lord_n it_o be_v i_o every_o man_n excuse_v himself_o for_o every_o man_n will_v extenuate_v his_o own_o sin_n and_o diminish_v it_o and_o every_o one_o think_v his_o sin_n salve_v when_o he_o have_v excuse_v himself_o let_v adam_n be_v his_o own_o judge_n and_o he_o will_v say_v the_o woman_n tempt_v he_o to_o sin_n and_o let_v the_o woman_n be_v she_o own_o judge_n and_o she_o will_v say_v yonder_o serpent_n persuade_v she_o to_o it_o let_v every_o one_o be_v his_o own_o judge_n and_o there_o will_v be_v such_o post_v off_o of_o sin_n that_o never_o a_o one_o will_v be_v find_v guilty_a there_o be_v none_o that_o will_v be_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o say_v he_o have_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o yet_o few_o that_o will_v free_o confess_v they_o have_v greious_o sin_v therefore_o these_o here_o say_v every_o man_n within_o himself_o though_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n yet_o he_o be_v no_o great_a sinner_n none_o be_v account_v sinner_n unless_o they_o be_v open_o detect_v of_o some_o notable_a and_o heinous_a crime_n if_o they_o be_v dicer_n swearer_n drunkard_n brawler_n picker_n flatterer_n pro_fw-la phaner_n of_o the_o sabbath_n sleeper_n at_o church_n and_o such_o like_a they_o be_v not_o think_v sinner_n these_o action_n be_v count_v no_o sin_n but_o rather_o recreation_n for_o the_o multitude_n count_v none_o sinner_n unless_o they_o be_v thief_n traitor_n open_a and_o gross_a idolater_n and_o take_v with_o such_o like_a capital_a crime_n no_o nor_o these_o neither_o be_v it_o not_o for_o fear_v of_o the_o law_n as_o none_o among_o the_o jew_n but_o publican_n be_v count_v sinner_n all_o the_o rest_n be_v good_a fellow_n and_o just_a man_n the_o papist_n say_v some_o thought_n affection_n word_n and_o outward_a action_n not_o agree_v with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v easy_o wash_v away_o with_o a_o little_a holy-water_n etc._n etc._n they_o be_v not_o deadly_a they_o deserve_v not_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n they_o be_v but_o venial_a do_v you_o ever_o read_v of_o these_o venial_a sin_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o think_v you_o they_o have_v nothing_o but_o scripture_n yes_o they_o have_v decree_n they_o have_v decretal_n the_o ceremony_n whereof_o observe_v these_o venial_a sin_n be_v soon_o pardon_v and_o they_o have_v a_o pope_n that_o can_v forgive_v any_o sin_n thus_o they_o lesson_n sin_n thus_o they_o abate_v the_o price_n of_o sin_n and_o they_o can_v buy_v our_o sin_n with_o money_n or_o redeem_v they_o with_o mass_n and_o by_o a_o little_a short_a penance_n purchase_v a_o large_a and_o long_o pardon_v and_o as_o the_o mariner_n every_o man_n think_v he_o be_v no_o great_a sinner_n so_o jonah_n think_v with_o himself_o though_o i_o be_v a_o great_a sinner_n yet_o be_o i_o not_o so_o greious_a a_o sinner_n as_o these_o idolatrous_a heathen_n or_o if_o he_o thorough_o condemn_v himself_o yet_o unwilling_a to_o be_v know_v such_o a_o rebel_n he_o think_v it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v most_o likely_a they_o be_v many_o i_o but_o one_o peradventure_o therefore_o the_o lot_n will_v not_o fall_v upon_o i_o like_o a_o thief_n which_o notwithstanding_o in_o his_o own_o heart_n he_o acknowledge_v himself_o guilty_a of_o that_o wherewithal_o he_o be_v charge_v yet_o will_v not_o confess_v until_o the_o matter_n be_v thorough_o sift_v and_o so_o clear_o prove_v to_o his_o own_o face_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o can_v for_o shame_n though_o with_o shame_n he_o confess_v deny_v it_o therefore_o if_o god_n have_v not_o sift_v out_o this_o sinner_n the_o better_a jonah_n will_v not_o have_v be_v know_v the_o man_n and_o the_o mariner_n will_v still_o have_v contend_v who_o be_v the_o lesser_a sinner_n therefore_o they_o consult_v to_o cast_v lot_n let_v we_o cast_v lot_n they_o do_v not_o use_v to_o cast_v lot_n this_o be_v no_o
