perceive_v god_n marvelous_a and_o secret_a deal_n we_o may_v well_o be_v so_o abash_v as_o to_o say_v alas_o lord_n we_o see_v our_o own_o weakness_n and_o rudeness_n in_o that_o we_o think_v the_o

for_o a_o man_n may_v allege_v and_o how_o so_o do_v not_o all_o our_o welfare_n and_o happiness_n consist_v in_o the_o know_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o will_n yes_o very_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o

while_o we_o see_v that_o job_n be_v sore_o press_v desire_v god_n to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n out_o of_o hand_n we_o have_v see_v the_o same_o sentence_n heretofore_o and_o here_o he_o confirm_v

our_o faith_n be_v approve_v and_o try_v if_o it_o be_v not_o by_o glorify_v god_n and_o that_o whereas_o we_o be_v at_o our_o wit_n end_n yet_o nevertheless_o we_o conclude_v that_o all_o that_o

be_v allow_v and_o sure_o this_o present_a story_n be_v a_o goodly_a instruction_n for_o we_o in_o that_o behalf_n for_o unless_o we_o consider_v wherefore_o god_n intend_v to_o persecute_v his_o servant_n job_n it_o will_v seem_v to_o we_o that_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o complain_v of_o he_o how_o so_o if_o god_n punish_v wicked_a folk_n it_o be_v well_o do_v yea_o and_o in_o so_o do_v we_o can_v not_o gainsay_v he_o but_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v in_o uprightness_n and_o simplicity_n why_o do_v god_n deliver_v he_o into_o satan_n hand_n if_o a_o man_n say_v oh_o he_o do_v but_o permit_v or_o suffer_v he_o only_o if_o satan_n be_v so_o at_o his_o own_o liberty_n consider_v how_o outrageous_a he_o be_v and_o that_o we_o also_o be_v leave_v up_o too_o the_o prey_n shall_v we_o not_o of_o necessity_n be_v overwhelm_v at_o the_o first_o push_n but_o contrariwise_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v god_n purpose_n to_o have_v the_o patience_n of_o his_o servant_n make_v know_v by_o it_o and_o although_o he_o have_v other_o reason_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o for_o a_o time_n yea_o even_o all_o our_o life_n long_o yet_o must_v we_o hold_v ourselves_o short_a and_o confess_v that_o all_o that_o he_o do_v be_v good_a yea_o though_o we_o perceive_v not_o too_o what_o end_n he_o do_v it_o so_o then_o albeit_o that_o we_o see_v not_o neither_o the_o devil_n about_o we_o nor_o yet_o the_o angel_n yet_o must_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n send_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o very_o too_o maintain_v we_o on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o too_o trouble_v we_o on_o the_o other_o and_o so_o it_o stand_v we_o always_o on_o hand_n too_o know_v that_o god_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o chastise_v we_o and_o that_o if_o he_o overwhelm_v we_o a_o hundred_o time_n a_o day_n we_o be_v well_o worthy_a of_o it_o and_o yet_o that_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o god_n have_v not_o always_o a_o respect_n unto_o that_o when_o he_o afflict_v we_o but_o that_o now_o and_o then_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o satan_n shall_v torment_v we_o so_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o may_v obtain_v victory_n against_o he_o and_o that_o our_o victory_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o honourable_a as_o his_o assail_a of_o we_o have_v be_v more_o terrible_a also_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o exercise_v we_o by_o practice_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v stand_v in_o awe_n and_o not_o take_v occasion_n to_o advance_v ourselves_o nor_o to_o oversleepe_v ourselves_o in_o vain_a selftrust_n and_o presumption_n as_o we_o have_v be_v wont_a to_o do_v god_n then_o waken_v we_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o we_o perceive_v that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o uphyld_n by_o he_o it_o will_v be_v too_o our_o sorrow_n special_o if_o we_o be_v not_o relieve_v in_o so_o much_o that_o it_o will_v be_v our_o chance_n too_o fall_v and_o too_o stumble_v down_o at_o every_o blow_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v put_v his_o hand_n under_o we_o or_o else_o our_o fall_n will_v be_v deadly_a therefore_o it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o we_o shall_v feel_v it_o but_o above_o all_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o angel_n have_v a_o special_a

they_o be_v call_v power_n and_o principality_n in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o devil_n cease_v not_o to_o turmoil_n and_o destroy_v all_o thing_n as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v which_o thing_n

have_v be_v touch_v god_n demand_v of_o satan_n from_o whence_o he_o come_v and_o satan_n tell_v he_o he_o have_v roil_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o have_v make_v his_o vagary_n and_o

our_o rawness_n for_o god_n have_v no_o need_n too_o ask_v satan_n all_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v present_a with_o he_o howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o understand_v not_o that_o it_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n too_o have_v some_o such_o manner_n of_o speech_n as_o we_o be_v better_o acquaint_v with_o and_o that_o god_o shall_v not_o show_v himself_o such_o a_o one_o as_o he_o be_v in_o his_o own_o infinite_a be_v for_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v swallow_a up_o but_o such_o as_o we_o may_v conceive_v he_o and_o such_o as_o we_o may_v bear_v and_o herein_o we_o see_v his_o great_a

so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v presume_v to_o enter_v into_o his_o great_a majesty_n we_o shall_v be_v overwhelm_v if_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o look_v

for_o after_o saint_n peter_n have_v threaten_v we_o in_o that_o wise_a he_o add_v withstand_v you_o steadfast_o through_o faith_n hereby_o he_o show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v afraid_a

to_o school_n there_o need_v no_o great_a learning_n nor_o skill_n too_o understand_v what_o be_v say_v here_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o great_a clerk_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o blame_v

of_o purpose_n to_o make_v he_o possess_v they_o and_o what_o do_v this_o make_v of_o he_o to_o possess_v they_o import_v it_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o i_o can_v not_o be_v strip_v out_o of_o

possession_n of_o my_o sin_n i_o be_o so_o wrap_v in_o they_o as_o i_o can_v get_v out_o of_o they_o here_o job_n acknowledge_v that_o god_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o scourge_v he_o but_o yet_o for_o

there_o be_v two_o reason_n the_o one_o be_v because_o that_o in_o that_o age_n the_o lust_n be_v see_v to_o be_v whote_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n also_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n how_o shall_v a_o young_a man_n order_v his_o way_n even_o by_o keep_v thy_o word_n why_o be_v there_o more_o speak_v of_o young_a folk_n rather_o than_o of_o other_o it_o be_v because_o that_o man_n nature_n which_o be_v always_o sinful_a and_o wicked_a do_v then_o cast_v up_o his_o great_a froth_n and_o have_v then_o most_o boil_a affection_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n of_o strong_a bridle_n forsomuch_o then_o as_o man_n commit_v most_o fault_n in_o their_o youth_n job_n speak_v precise_o there_o of_o and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o david_n say_v lord_n remember_v not_o the_o fault_n of_o my_o youth_n he_o speak_v express_o of_o that_o age_n because_o he_o know_v he_o pass_v it_o not_o without_o offend_v god_n many_o way_n for_o there_o be_v great_a unadvisedness_n and_o unruly_a lust_n wherewith_o a_o young_a man_n be_v blind_v insomuch_o that_o he_o think_v that_o nothing_o be_v unpossible_a to_o he_o there_o be_v no_o staidness_n to_o rule_v he_o withal_o but_o there_o be_v excess_n of_o overween_a and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o so_o you_o see_v one_o reason_n why_o the_o sin_n of_o youth_n be_v speak_v of_o here_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o job_n mean_v to_o declare_v that_o god_n bring_v all_o his_o sin_n too_o remembrance_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v frame_v a_o indictment_n of_o all_o the_o fault_n that_o he_o have_v do_v ever_o since_o he_o be_v a_o child_n and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o complain_v of_o overgreat_a rigour_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v lord_n though_o i_o have_v erewhiles_o do_v amiss_o well_o thou_o

again_o you_o see_v then_o whereat_o job_n amed_z and_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o when_o god_n write_v bitter_o against_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o he_o show_v we_o all_o the_o sign_n

thereof_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o meeken_fw-ge a_o man_n that_o be_v so_o give_v to_o pride_n god_n then_o write_v bitter_o against_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v utter_o abash_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v hide_v himself_o for_o a_o time_n as_o he_o hide_v himself_o

notwithstanding_o when_o we_o see_v a_o poor_a offender_n who_o god_n have_v put_v to_o execution_n we_o must_v be_v touch_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o for_o two_o cause_n the_o one_o be_v that_o if_o every_o of_o we_o look_v into_o himself_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n ought_v too_o punish_v we_o as_o rough_o or_o roughly_a if_o it_o please_v he_o too_o visit_v we_o according_a to_o

see_v that_o god_n persecute_v he_o it_o be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n but_o what_o there_o be_v good_a cause_n why_o god_n shall_v punish_v i_o in_o likewise_o then_o behove_v it_o i_o too_o humble_v myself_o and_o too_o behold_v myself_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n in_o the_o person_n of_o this_o man_n that_o be_v one_o point_n again_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n scourge_v at_o god_n hand_n as_o sore_o as_o may_v be_v let_v we_o consider_v not_o only_o that_o he_o be_v create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n but_o also_o that_o he_o be_v our_o neighbour_n and_o in_o manner_n all_o one_o with_o

so_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o have_v consideration_n one_o of_o another_o i_o see_v moreover_o a_o poor_a soul_n that_o be_v go_v too_o destruction_n ought_v i_o not_o too_o pity_v he_o and_o to_o

move_v we_o too_o pity_v when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n afflict_v such_o as_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o then_o if_o we_o bethink_v ourselves_o sure_o either_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v too_o hard-hearted_a and_o dulwitted_a or_o else_o we_o shall_v pity_v they_o that_o be_v like_o ourselves_o as_o when_o we_o consider_v this_o behold_v a_o man_n that_o be_v form_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n he_o be_v of_o the_o self_n same_o nature_n that_o i_o be_o and_o again_o behold_v a_o soul_n that_o be_v purchase_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n if_o the_o same_o perish_v ought_v not_o we_o to_o be_v grieve_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n say_v now_o have_v pity_n upon_o i_o my_o friend_n because_o the_o band_n of_o god_n have_v smite_v i_o for_o the_o

i_o but_o i_o see_v how_o he_o smite_v one_o and_o punish_v another_o be_v not_o this_o a_o matter_n too_o be_v astonish_v at_o must_v we_o tarry_v till_o god_n fall_v upon_o our_o head_n with_o many_o blow_n that_o be_v over_o gross_a deal_n but_o when_o we_o see_v he_o be_v mind_v to_o teach_v we_o at_o another_o man_n cost_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o punish_v man_n so_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o he_o say_v not_o be_v afraid_a for_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n shall_v come_v upon_o you_o but_o he_o say_v my_o friend_n you_o see_v how_o god_n punish_v the_o unbeliever_n while_o he_o spare_v you_o yet_o must_v you_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v for_o your_o instruction_n when_o he_o she_o weth_o any_o token_n of_o

we_o and_o that_o he_o mark_v all_o that_o ever_o we_o do_v or_o say_v i_o pray_v you_o will_v we_o not_o walk_v in_o another_o manner_n of_o fear_n and_o wariness_n than_o we_o do_v now_o but_o tush_o we_o fear_v none_o but_o man_n we_o be_v safe_a enough_o if_o we_o have_v no_o witness_n here_o beneath_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o man_n give_v head_n too_o all_o their_o wicked_a lust_n be_v for_o that_o god_n spirit_n bear_v no_o sway_n with_o they_o and_o for_o that_o they_o pass_v not_o too_o conceive_v curse_a thing_n and_o to_o purpose_n upon_o they_o in_o their_o heart_n provide_v always_o that_o no_o body_n can_v accuse_v they_o so_o be_v there_o very_a few_o that_o set_v god_n shine_v upon_o they_o before_o their_o eye_n for_o if_o they_o bear_v that_o shine_a in_o remembrance_n sure_o it_o will_v be_v enough_o too_o suppress_v all_o their_o wicked_a affection_n and_o too_o rid_v they_o of_o all_o the_o fancy_n wherewith_o they_o be_v puff_v up_o and_o true_o if_o we_o be_v ashamed_a of_o man_n how_o much_o more_o ought_v he_o to_o move_v we_o that_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o man_n for_o if_o man_n judge_v we_o it_o be_v not_o of_o their_o own_o authority_n nor_o in_o their_o own_o name_n they_o do_v but_o only_o perform_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n to_o who_o alone_o all_o judgement_n pertain_v but_o behold_v god_n see_v we_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o yield_v he_o no_o reverence_n we_o pass_v not_o of_o the_o provoke_a of_o his_o wrath_n against_o we_o and_o how_o may_v that_o be_v bear_v so_o then_o if_o we_o remember_v well_o this_o lesson_n that_o god_n shed_v out_o his_o light_n upon_o all_o man_n sure_o it_o will_v be_v a_o good_a bridle_n to_o make_v we_o walk_v in_o all_o pureness_n of_o conscience_n

without_o a_o continual_a respect_n of_o bear_v with_o they_o according_a as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v expedient_a and_o if_o there_o be_v cause_n to_o spare_v they_o any_o more_o sure_o he_o will_v

time_n till_o god_n have_v reconcile_v they_o to_o he_o again_o but_o yet_o you_o see_v that_o job_n be_v rebuke_v &_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n speak_v not_o a_o word_n to_o the_o other_o therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o as_o i_o have_v erst_o say_v the_o more_o god_n love_v we_o the_o more_o hasty_a be_v he_o in_o visit_v we_o and_o when_o he_o see_v that_o we_o have_v step_v awry_o and_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o right_a way_n of_o salvation_n he_o watch_v over_o we_o too_o bring_v we_o home_o again_o to_o he_o with_o speed_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o comparison_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o between_o job_n and_o his_o friend_n it_o be_v say_v that_o job_n speak_v right_o before_o god._n how_o be_v that_o for_o god_n notwithstanding_o condemn_v he_o as_o a_o ignorant_a overween_a and_o unpatient_a person_n and_o where_o be_v then_o the_o say_a rightness_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o heretofore_o how_o job_n have_v undertake_v a_o good_a case_n howbe_z it_o he_o proceed_v amiss_o in_o it_o job_n therefore_o overshoot_v himself_o in_o the_o follow_n of_o his_o matter_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o his_o case_n be_v good_a still_o conrrariwise_o job_n friend_n use_v goodly_a reason_n &_o such_o as_o we_o have_v gather_v holy_a doctrine_n out_o of_o but_o yet_o be_v the_o ground_n work_n of_o they_o evil_a they_o take_v a_o general_a ground_n quite_o beside_o the_o case_n which_o be_v that_o job_n be_v punish_v for_o his_o misdeed_n and_o that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o a_o wicked_a &_o curse_a creature_n see_v that_o god_n use_v such_o rigour_n towards_o he_o furthermore_o also_o they_o do_v set_v down_o a_o false_a &_o untoward_a doctrine_n say_v that_o god_n do_v even_o in_o this_o world_n handle_v man_n according_a to_o their_o desert_n but_o that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o take_v away_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n &_o to_o shut_v all_o favorablenesse_n of_o god_n out_o of_o this_o frail_a and_o transitory_a life_n and_o that_o be_v a_o turn_n of_o all_o thing_n upside_o down_o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o call_v these_o two_o point_n to_o remembrance_n that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o ryghtnesse_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o and_o to_o be_v short_a we_o must_v note_v the_o text_n that_o i_o have_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o psalm_n heretofore_o namely_o that_o the_o man_n be_v bliss_v which_o judge_v discret_o of_o the_o poor_a that_o be_v in_o adversity_n where_o the_o prophet_n show_v we_o that_o when_o we_o see_v any_o man_n in_o adversity_n god_n will_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o discreetness_n not_o to_o condemn_v he_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n but_o to_o look_v up_o high_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o consider_v that_o adversity_n do_v sometime_o befall_v man_n for_o the_o chastisement_n of_o their_o sin_n sometime_o for_o the_o trial_n of_o their_o patience_n sometime_o to_o prevent_v some_o fault_n which_o they_o may_v fall_v into_o and_o also_o that_o god_n set_v they_o forth_o to_o be_v as_o mirror_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o see_v their_o obedience_n may_v be_v edify_v thereby_o and_o sometime_o for_o some_o other_o secret_a cause_n unknown_a to_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o eschew_v rashness_n when_o we_o see_v god_n afflict_v any_o man_n rough_o and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v to_o swift_a of_o judgement_n to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v so_o handle_v and_o to_o commend_v such_o as_o live_v at_o their_o ease_n as_o though_o they_o be_v better_o belove_v of_o god_n for_o that_o be_v too_o unadvised_a a_o judge_a so_o it_o be_v then_o if_o we_o have_v the_o discretion_n in_o we_o to_o consider_v the_o cause_n that_o be_v note_v to_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n we_o shall_v find_v diverse_a time_n that_o such_o as_o be_v the_o excellent_a servant_n of_o god_n be_v handle_v most_o rigorous_o and_o it_o will_v seem_v too_o we_o that_o god_n be_v against_o they_o but_o we_o must_v not_o judge_v after_o our_o own_o fancy_n if_o we_o use_v that_o modesty_n god_n will_v always_o succour_v we_o when_o we_o be_v afflict_v but_o if_o we_o be_v cruel_a and_o foolish_a in_o give_v too_o hasty_a sentence_n the_o like_a measure_n must_v be_v moten_z unto_o we_o also_o furthermore_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o job_n have_v speak_v right_o and_o his_o friend_n amiss_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o take_v this_o general_a rule_n that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o forwardness_n to_o follow_v god_n and_o to_o fear_v he_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v accept_v notwithstanding_o that_o he_o commit_v gross_a fault_n whereas_o if_o another_o man_n have_v not_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n root_v in_o he_o although_o he_o have_v apparent_a virtue_n that_o be_v very_o commendable_a before_o man_n yet_o be_v all_o of_o it_o nothing_o worth_a it_o be_v but_o stark_a filth_n look_v i_o say_v upon_o a_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n and_o be_v right_o and_o pure_o mind_v too_o give_v himself_o to_o welldoing_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o shall_v have_v many_o infirmity_n he_o halt_v he_o stagger_v he_o reel_v yea_o and_o sometime_o fall_v flat_o down_o yea_o but_o his_o fault_n which_o he_o do_v be_v forgive_v he_o and_o god_n do_v still_o reach_v he_o his_o hand_n to_o lift_v he_o up_o insomuch_o that_o all_o fall_v out_o to_o his_o benefit_n because_o the_o mark_n that_o he_o aim_v at_o be_v to_o go_v unto_o god_n and_o his_o mind_n lead_v he_o still_o thytherward_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v as_o i_o say_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v great_o commend_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v goodly_a virtue_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v do_v thing_n worthy_a of_o honour_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o have_v no_o good_a root_n in_o he_o but_o be_v either_o a_o despyzer_n of_o god_n or_o unmerciful_a towards_o his_o neighbour_n now_o if_o a_o man_n be_v such_o a_o one_o none_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o man_n honour_v in_o he_o can_v please_v god_n hereby_o we_o
