who_o will_v show_v we_o any_o good_a then_o the_o man_n of_o god_n answer_v not_o unto_o they_o but_o unto_o god_n to_o himself_o and_o to_o we_o say_v lord_n lift_v thou_o up_o the_o light_n of_o

the_o fire_n and_o a_o weary_n of_o themselves_o for_o very_a vanity_n as_o the_o prophet_n term_v it_o who_o also_o give_v this_o reason_n hereof_o because_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v fill_v with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o water_n cover_v the_o sea_n intimate_v that_o when_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n glory_n which_o beget_v in_o we_o the_o power_n of_o his_o life_n shall_v be_v so_o abundant_a in_o the_o earth_n as_o the_o water_n be_v abundant_a in_o the_o sea_n then_o all_o human_a work_n and_o building_n not_o agree_v with_o this_o life_n of_o

with_o fire_n and_o destroy_v as_o mere_a vanity_n therefore_o we_o shall_v take_v heed_n how_o we_o spend_v our_o time_n and_o employ_v ourselves_o and_o bestow_v the_o precious_a talent_n which_o god_n do_v give_v we_o to_o profit_v withal_o lest_o we_o weary_v ourselves_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n for_o a_o thing_n of_o nothing_o and_o bestow_v cost_n and_o labour_n for_o

these_o conclusion_n towards_o the_o purpose_n in_o hand_n 1_o that_o a_o public_a good_a be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o universal_a private_a good_a of_o every_o one_o in_o the_o life_n of_o god_n for_o that_o which_o serve_v the_o turn_n of_o some_o only_a although_o they_o may_v be_v many_o and_o even_o the_o great_a part_n be_v not_o to_o be_v count_v true_o public_a but_o that_o be_v proper_o public_a which_o be_v common_a and_o reach_v alike_o unto_o all_o and_o that_o reach_v true_o to_o all_o wherein_o every_o one_o have_v alike_o near_o inter_v and_o whereof_o every_o one_o may_v be_v alike_o sensible_a which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o god_n in_o man_n for_o god_n be_v the_o same_o to_o all_o and_o be_v but_o one_o life_n in_o all_o and_o all_o may_v and_o shall_v challenge_v alike_o interest_n in_o he_o 2_o that_o none_o can_v procure_v this_o good_a to_o other_o far_o less_o to_o all_o that_o do_v not_o seek_v it_o for_o himself_o and_o in_o some_o measure_n purchase_v it_o at_o least_o by_o attain_v to_o the_o true_a love_n of_o it_o and_o by_o a_o willingness_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o lie_v in_o his_o power_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o it_o as_o well_o towards_o other_o as_o towards_o himself_o for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o universal_a good_a none_o can_v engross_v it_o for_o himself_o alone_o but_o every_o one_o must_v seek_v to_o partake_v of_o it_o with_o another_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o true_a way_n to_o get_v it_o for_o ourselves_o then_o by_o endeavour_v that_o other_o also_o may_v participate_v of_o that_o which_o we_o either_o have_v obtain_v or_o may_v hopeful_o obtain_v for_o god_n meaning_n be_v not_o to_o be_v possess_v as_o a_o peculiar_a to_o one_o because_o he_o do_v intend_v to_o show_v himself_o the_o god_n of_o all_o and_o he_o that_o seek_v god_n in_o all_o and_o for_o all_o shell_n at_o last_o find_v he_o for_o himself_o but_o he_o that_o think_v as_o the_o custom_n of_o some_o be_v who_o despise_v other_o as_o impure_a and_o unworthy_a of_o their_o society_n to_o have_v he_o only_o for_o himself_o shall_v lose_v he_o in_o all_o and_o himself_o also_o 3._o from_o whence_o follow_v that_o all_o self_n seek_v and_o the_o affection_n of_o some_o particular_a thing_n and_o way_n whereby_o man_n desire_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n off_o among_o other_o man_n for_o procure_v a_o public_a good_a which_o they_o imagine_v to_o be_v good_a that_o i_o say_v all_o such_o purpose_n be_v nothing_o but_o carnal_a hypocrisy_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o life_n of_o god_n so_o that_o except_o there_o be_v a_o single_a purpose_n to_o seek_v this_o good_a absolute_o for_o itself_o that_o it_o may_v become_v common_a to_o all_o and_o to_o seek_v nothing_o with_o

more_o than_o it_o and_o it_o become_v in_o our_o mind_n subordinate_a unto_o matter_n of_o a_o base_a nature_n except_o i_o say_v all_o this_o be_v the_o endeavour_n will_v never_o reach_v the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o must_v be_v undertake_v nor_o receive_v a_o blessing_n from_o god_n to_o come_v to_o any_o perfection_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n or_o god_n work_n shall_v

their_o practice_n by_o some_o manifest_a judgement_n or_o other_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n do_v bring_v the_o fire_n trial_n upon_o the_o world_n namely_o to_o make_v void_a and_o without_o effect_n all_o by-end_n and_o worldly_a imagination_n in_o his_o work_n in_o his_o great_a work_n which_o he_o be_v about_o to_o perform_v for_o we_o be_v teach_v esa._n 2._o concerning_o
