wherefore_o we_o also_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o rich_a blessing_n of_o god_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v now_o pure_o &_o sincere_o preach_v amongst_o we_o as_o it_o

this_o testimony_n this_o be_v one_o part_n then_o of_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n to_o learn_v the_o way_n how_o to_o worship_v god_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o best_o please_v he_o which_o consist_v in_o teach_v of_o the_o word_n &_o hear_n of_o god_n when_o he_o speak_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o witness_n and_o therefore_o the_o devil_n desire_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o to_o hinder_v the_o preach_v &_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n for_o this_o cause_n he_o raise_v up_o as_o you_o hear_v in_o the_o first_o psalm_n lie_v lip_n and_o deceitful_a tongue_n he_o stir_v up_o the_o world_n with_o sword_n and_o power_n to_o oppress_v the_o godly_a and_o even_o in_o ourselves_o he_o go_v about_o to_o deface_v this_o kind_n of_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n by_o our_o devilish_a

of_o god_n be_v preach_v concern_v remission_n of_o sin_n the_o righteousness_n that_o come_v by_o christ_n and_o life_n everlasting_a this_o doctrine_n destroy_v his_o kingdom_n this_o cause_v he_o to_o rage_n and_o to_o seek_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a how_o he_o may_v hinder_v the_o course_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v to_o praise_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n word_n this_o david_n make_v the_o second_o kind_n of_o worship_n when_o he_o commend_v his_o jerusalem_n and_o here_o again_o note_v that_o he_o speak_v nothing_o of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n for_o albeit_o he_o do_v not_o discommend_v they_o as_o i_o say_v before_o yet_o he_o reckon_v they_o but_o as_o chaff_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o

do_v not_o condemn_v the_o build_n of_o the_o temple_n which_o afterward_o shall_v be_v do_v by_o his_o son_n solomon_n but_o do_v earnest_o desire_v the_o same_o and_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o do_v desire_v it_o here_o you_o see_v namely_o that_o first_o the_o name_n of_o god_n may_v there_o be_v preach_v and_o then_o that_o god_n may_v there_o accept_v the_o prayer_n of_o his_o people_n with_o praise_n and_o thank_n give_v for_o his_o benefit_n receive_v hitherto_o we_o have_v hear_v how_o the_o prophet_n extol_v and_o magnify_v the_o incomparable_a gift_n &_o benefit_n of_o god_n the_o word_n i_o mean_v with_o thank_n and_o praise_n unto_o god_n for_o the_o same_o for_o that_o be_v a_o benefit_n and_o blessing_n in_o deed_n which_o be_v know_v and_o acknowledge_v so_o to_o be_v all_o the_o world_n as_o we_o see_v be_v full_a &_o even_o glut_v with_o the_o benefit_n of_o god_n notwithstanding_o it_o remain_v still_o in_o such_o blindness_n that_o it_o know_v they_o not_o to_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o take_v and_o use_v they_o not_o otherwise_o then_o hog_n do_v their_o draff_n &_o swill_n but_o david_n see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o a_o kingdom_n wherein_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n and_o true_a religion_n flourish_v this_o great_a benefit_n he_o acknowledge_v and_o therefore_o he_o so_o rejoice_v and_o magnify_v his_o jerusalem_n as_o a_o place_n appoint_v by_o the_o lords_z own_o mouth_n where_o the_o people_n may_v come_v together_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n for_o his_o benefit_n out_o of_o the_o which_o place_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o find_v god_n the_o gentile_n because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o word_n nor_o this_o hear_n whereof_o david_n here_o speak_v can_v not_o find_v god_n hereby_o we_o may_v see_v how_o horrible_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o contemn_v and_o to_o loathe_v the_o word_n for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o horrible_a than_o that_o man_n a_o weak_a creature_n nothing_o but_o earth_n &_o dust_n shall_v so_o lift_v up_o himself_o in_o pride_n that_o when_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n speak_v &_o most_o love_o invite_v he_o to_o hear_v he_o will_v not_o hear_v and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o common_a than_o this_o impiety_n this_o horrible_a contempt_n this_o devilish_a loathe_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n amongst_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n the_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o we_o hear_v not_o the_o lord_n speak_v now_o unto_o we_o in_o his_o majesty_n as_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o mount_v sinai_n at_o what_o time_n the_o people_n be_v astonish_v &_o tremble_v at_o the_o terrible_a voice_n of_o the_o lord_n &_o yet_o how_o soon_o have_v they_o forget_v the_o lord_n and_o murmur_v both_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o against_o moses_n thus_o in_o his_o majesty_n he_o speak_v no_o more_o but_o he_o speak_v now_o unto_o we_o by_o man_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v contemn_v horrible_a it_o be_v that_o sodom_n be_v burn_v up_o with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n horrible_a it_o be_v also_o that_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v destroy_v with_o water_n moreover_o the_o daily_a example_n of_o impiety_n and_o wickedness_n as_o murder_v whoredom_n etc_n etc_n be_v such_o that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v hear_v without_o horror_n &_o tremble_a but_o how_o horrible_a so_o ever_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v yet_o be_v it_o much_o more_o horrible_a to_o contemn_v god_n when_o by_o his_o word_n he_o speak_v unto_o we_o which_o all_o the_o world_n do_v at_o this_o day_n not_o only_o they_o which_o persecute_v the_o word_n with_o open_a tyranny_n but_o such_o also_o as_o be_v even_o amongst_o we_o &_o at_o the_o beginning_n seem_v to_o receive_v this_o doctrine_n with_o great_a rejoice_v wherefore_o david_n exhort_v

body_n now_o then_o shall_v thou_o be_v able_a to_o govern_v the_o body_n and_o the_o mind_n of_o other_o in_o any_o one_o house_n city_n or_o common_a wealth_n 10._o as_o jeremy_n say_v the_o way_n of_o man_n be_v not_o in_o himself_o neither_o be_v it_o in_o man_n to_o walk_v and_o to_o direct_v his_o step_n so_o this_o body_n which_o thou_o bear_v about_o be_v not_o in_o thine_o own_o hand_n this_o be_v the_o true_a manner_n of_o teach_v as_o touch_v civil_a and_o household_n government_n government_n namely_o to_o show_v the_o efficient_a and_o the_o final_a cause_n thereof_o and_o this_o doctrine_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o necessary_a for_o that_o we_o be_v all_o under_o the_o one_o of_o these_o two_o government_n for_o although_o thou_o be_v not_o a_o marry_a man_n yet_o must_v thou_o needs_o be_v in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o household_n government_n for_o either_o thou_o be_v a_o son_n a_o daughter_n a_o servant_n or_o thou_o have_v servant_n or_o neighbour_n or_o else_o thou_o be_v in_o some_o place_n and_o call_n in_o the_o house_n or_o in_o the_o society_n of_o man_n now_o it_o can_v be_v avoid_v but_o that_o many_o thing_n will_v happen_v unto_o thou_o in_o thy_o vocation_n both_o tedious_a and_o grievous_a wherefore_o thou_o must_v learn_v how_o to_o behave_v thyself_o in_o these_o kind_n of_o life_n also_o from_o whence_o they_o come_v and_o to_o what_o end_n they_o be_v ordain_v but_o of_o all_o other_o they_o have_v most_o need_n of_o this_o knowledge_n which_o be_v place_v in_o authority_n or_o any_o kind_n of_o life_n above_o other_o to_o who_o it_o belong_v to_o rule_v either_o in_o the_o common_a wealth_n or_o to_o govern_v a_o family_n that_o they_o may_v know_v what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o their_o rule_n &_o government_n this_o psalm_n therefore_o proper_o pertain_v to_o salomon_n ecclesiastes_n and_o not_o only_o contain_v the_o same_o doctrine_n solomon_n but_o in_o a_o manner_n the_o same_o word_n also_o in_o

of_o spirit_n be_v in_o they_o both_o wherefore_o there_o be_v nothing_o better_a for_o a_o man_n then_o to_o rejoice_v in_o god_n and_o to_o do_v good_a in_o his_o life_n as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v able_a this_o psalm_n therefore_o seem_v to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o brief_a sum_n of_o that_o book_n 2.12_o whereby_o he_o teach_v both_o what_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o politic_a and_o

all_o thing_n that_o they_o take_v in_o hand_n as_o though_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v come_v otherwise_o to_o pass_v than_o they_o themselves_o do_v imagine_v they_o begin_v as_o though_o

nothing_o can_v be_v well_o do_v and_o even_o so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n when_o we_o will_v take_v upon_o we_o such_o government_n as_o belong_v to_o god_n alone_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o you_o to_o consider_v the_o example_n of_o this_o great_a folly_n which_o be_v to_o be_v see_v every_o where_o abundant_o in_o prince_n court_n in_o city_n and_o family_n for_o thus_o do_v they_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o be_v not_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n but_o of_o the_o devil_n but_o thus_o do_v thou_o consider_v that_o thou_o be_v god_n instrument_n &_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o other_o magistrate_n and_o principal_a governor_n of_o the_o house_n god._n who_o name_n be_v the_o lord_n except_o he_o be_v the_o principal_a cause_n it_o shall_v follow_v as_o this_o psalm_n say_v that_o the_o house_n shall_v not_o be_v build_v and_o that_o neither_o politic_a nor_o household_n government_n shall_v prosper_v so_o must_v we_o judge_v also_o of_o the_o final_a

man_n take_v upon_o he_o a_o office_n in_o the_o common_a wealth_n to_o get_v estimation_n and_o dignity_n and_o find_v the_o contrary_a a_o other_o by_o matrimony_n seek_v pleasure_n seek_v a_o beautiful_a and_o obedient_a wife_n but_o he_o be_v deceive_v and_o prove_v also_o the_o contrary_n and_o well_o worthy_a for_o why_o do_v thou_o presume_v to_o rule_v either_o in_o politic_a or_o

thine_o eye_n to_o he_o which_o be_v above_o and_o to_o desire_v his_o help_n when_o thou_o see_v therefore_o that_o afterwards_o it_o fall_v out_o otherwise_o than_o do_v thou_o learn_v to_o sing_v this_o psalm_n except_o the_o lord_n build_v the_o city_n they_o labour_v in_o vain_a that_o build_v it_o before_o thou_o think_v thou_o there_o be_v no_o other_o lord_n or_o governor_n beside_o

do_v thou_o be_v but_o vile_a dung_n presume_v as_o a_o god_n to_o take_v upon_o thou_o that_o heavenly_a government_n that_o i_o say_v which_o be_v above_o nature_n with_o a_o natural_a affection_n and_o earthly_a mind_n thy_o climb_a and_o presumptuous_a spirit_n therefore_o god_n just_o confound_v why_o do_v thou_o not_o rather_o say_v on_o this_o wise_a lord_n thou_o have_v give_v i_o a_o

teach_v we_o and_o experience_n also_o agree_v thereunto_o that_o without_o god_n help_v all_o be_v in_o vain_a that_o we_o take_v in_o hand_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o these_o thing_n they_o labour_v in_o vain_a say_v he_o which_o build_v it_o the_o cause_n be_v this_o that_o either_o they_o become_v tyrant_n or_o else_o desperate_a &_o forsake_v all_o together_o so_o come_v to_o ruin_v both_o politic_a and_o household_n government_n now_o what_o madness_n be_v this_o so_o to_o rule_v that_o either_o thou_o or_o thy_o family_n must_v perish_v why_o do_v we_o not_o rather_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o may_v preserve_v both_o which_o be_v if_o we_o learn_v to_o know_v the_o principal_a cause_n and_o the_o true_a master_n and_o
