rather_o rebuke_v they_o this_o be_v not_o add_v without_o great_a reason_n for_o although_o we_o be_v well_o dispose_v too_o frame_v our_o life_n according_a too_o god_n word_n yet_o shall_v we_o

the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n add_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v too_o do_v with_o the_o unfruitful_a work_n of_o darkness_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v my_o friend_n i_o know_v well_o that_o the_o uneazinesse_n of_o go_v unto_o god_n in_o this_o world_n will_v be_v as_o a_o block_n too_o keep_v you_o back_o from_o do_v of_o your_o duty_n and_o although_o you_o know_v that_o god_n ought_v too_o have_v the_o mastery_n and_o that_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v under_o his_o subjection_n yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o you_o be_v conversant_a with_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n and_o

be_v very_o hard_a for_o you_o too_o escape_v unperuert_v like_o as_o it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o we_o must_v feel_v some_o prick_n when_o we_o walk_v among_o thorn_n forasmuch_o they_o as_o there_o be_v such_o abundance_n of_o corruption_n through_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o a_o man_n can_v scarce_o remove_v one_o foot_n but_o he_o shall_v stumble_v upon_o some_o evil_a or_o other_o it_o

wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o prepare_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_n too_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n as_o we_o may_v stand_v obedient_o in_o battle_n ray_n too_o resist_v all_o temptation_n it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v much_o ado_n too_o bring_v it_o too_o pass_v ▪_o but_o yet_o will_v god_n be_v strong_a so_o we_o pray_v he_o too_o govern_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a

they_o discern_v not_o white_a from_o black_a and_o why_o for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o dark_a he_o see_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o stagger_v and_o stumble_v and_o though_o he_o be_v never_o

it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o we_o show_v they_o a_o glass_n and_o say_v too_o they_o see_v what_o thou_o be_v thou_o be_v as_o foul_a and_o filthy_a as_o may_v be_v be_v thou_o not_o ashamed_a

they_o all_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v that_o our_o fight_a be_v not_o against_o flesh_n and_o blood_n by_o these_o word_n he_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v that_o we_o have_v not_o too_o stand_v against_o mortal_a man_n only_o it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n shall_v oftentimes_o bid_v we_o battle_n yea_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v satan_n underling_n too_o torment_v we_o but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o must_v stick_v at_o for_o the_o devil_n serve_v his_o turn_n by_o they_o too_o drive_v we_o too_o despair_n or_o too_o provoke_v we_o too_o

thing_n that_o he_o will_v speak_v anon_o concern_v the_o darkness_n of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o the_o devil_n shall_v have_v superiority_n over_o mankind_n which_o be_v shape_v after_o the_o

it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o devil_n shall_v not_o have_v have_v any_o advantage_n over_o we_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v now_o overwhelm_v with_o darkness_n and_o become_v thrall_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n therefore_o the_o devil_n be_v name_v the_o prince_n of_o the_o world_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o saint_n paul_n have_v so_o advance_v the_o power_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o bridle_n loose_a on_o his_o neck_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v be_v able_a too_o do_v what_o he_o list_v and_o god_n unable_a too_o let_v he_o too_o the_o intent_n then_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o imagine_v that_o god_n soverein_o dominion_n be_v abate_v by_o any_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n saint_n paul_n say_v that_o their_o power_n proceed_v of_o this_o that_o this_o world_n be_v in_o

and_o too_o be_v blind_a wretch_n because_o we_o be_v banish_v from_o the_o light_n of_o life_n which_o be_v in_o god_n inasmuch_o then_o as_o we_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o that_o make_v and_o fashion_v all_o thing_n and_o have_v our_o wit_n entangle_v in_o all_o naughtiness_n and_o our_o reason_n be_v utter_o pervert_v therefore_o do_v satan_n reign_v over_o we_o and_o

of_o heaven_n therefore_o do_v he_o of_o good_a right_a say_v that_o man_n must_v not_o only_a praise_n god_n for_o once_o and_o away_o but_o also_o that_o there_o be_v cause_n too_o continue_v the_o

too_o understand_v that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v preserve_v for●_n ever_o and_o that_o there_o shall_v always_o remain_v some_o seed_n of_o it_o in_o the_o world_n so_o as_o the_o record_n of_o

mouth_n seem_v utter_o unpossible_a and_o why_o be_v it_o that_o abraham_n do_v nevertheless_o believe_v assure_o 3._o that_o god_n will_v keep_v promise_n with_o he_o it_o be_v because_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o his_o infinite_a power_n which_o be_v able_a too_o overcome_v all_o let_n and_o hindrance_n we_o see_v then_o how_o abraham_n apply_v god_n power_n too_o his_o own_o behoof_n assure_v himself_o that_o god_n truth_n and_o his_o power_n be_v thing_n inseparable_a ●2_o after_o that_o manner_n also_o do_v s._n paul_n say_v that_o he_o who_o he_o have_v put_v in_o trust_n with_o his_o gage_n be_v mighty_a for_o he_o see_v himself_o too_o be_v a_o poor_a and_o frail_a creature_n he_o see_v how_o he_o be_v hunt_v at_o all_o hand_n he_o see_v that_o he_o be_v shake_v of_o and_o despise_v he_o see_v how_o the_o doctrine_n that_o he_o bear_v abroad_o be_v hate_v and_o abhor_v he_o see_v how_o his_o life_n hang_v as_o by_o a_o thread_n and_o he_o have_v such_o a_o number_n of_o trouble_n as_o be_v able_a too_o overwhelm_v he_o yea_o and_o final_o too_o confound_v he_o and_o dispatch_v he_o quite_o and_o how_o overcome_v he_o all_o this_o &_o abode_n invincible_a yea_o &_o even_o triumph_v over_o they_o be_v in_o prison_n &_o see_v himself_o at_o death_n door_n how_o can_v he_o have_v such_o victory_n against_o so_o many_o temptation_n and_o encounter_n it_o be_v by_o know_v that_o god_n be_v the_o keeper_n of_o his_o soul_n whereupon_o he_o conceive_v his_o infinite_a power_n which_o be_v able_a too_o perform_v all_o that_o he_o appoint_v you_o see_v then_o that_o saint_n paul_n imagine_v not_o a_o power_n in_o the_o air_n but_o know_v that_o god_n wrought_v so_o in_o he_o as_o he_o shall_v never_o fall_v but_o upon_o his_o foot_n as_o man_n say_v and_o why_o for_o he_o have_v promise_n of_o it_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o put_v this_o lesson_n as_o well_o in_o ure_n as_o it_o be_v common_a in_o the_o scripture_n the_o repeat_n thereof_o so_o oft_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o for_o we_o see_v the_o frowardness_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o insomuch_o that_o although_o god_n have_v promise_v too_o keep_v we_o yet_o if_o never_o so_o little_a a_o blast_n of_o wind_n come_v upon_o we_o we_o be_v dismay_v by_o and_o by_o and_o howso_o sure_o if_o we_o yield_v god_n the_o honour_n that_o he_o deserve_v and_o acknowledge_v he_o too_o be_v almighty_a in_o deed_n we_o shall_v bold_o defy_v all_o that_o seem_v too_o be_v against_o we_o and_o why_o for_o if_o god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n who_o shall_v be_v against_o we_o say_v saint_n paul_n 30._o and_o we_o see_v also_o how_o david_n defy_v both_o all_o his_o enemy_n and_o also_o death_n say_v though_o i_o shall_v walk_v in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n &_o within_o the_o grave_n 4._o yet_o shall_v i_o be_v safe_a because_o god_n be_v my_o shepherd_n and_o have_v his_o sheephook_n too_o
