do_v favour_n and_o maintain_v the_o evil_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n have_v forsake_v they_o and_o thereby_o show_v that_o he_o have_v withdraw_v himself_o from_o we_o because_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o have_v he_o sit_v among_o we_o as_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o do_v among_o all_o such_o as_o be_v conformable_a unto_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o disobedience_n and_o of_o all_o our_o sin_n which_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v suffer_v all_o civil_a order_n too_o be_v overthrow_v among_o we_o that_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v confound_v as_o we_o have_v well_o deserve_v and_o so_o when_o we_o see_v such_o trouble_n and_o confusion_n among_o we_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n punish_v we_o and_o that_o when_o he_o take_v away_o all_o discretion_n and_o understanding_n from_o judge_n after_o that_o sort_n it_o be_v because_o he_o have_v strike_v they_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o giddiness_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o scripture_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o murmur_v against_o god_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o do_v not_o any_o thing_n without_o cause_n although_o we_o can_v perceive_v it_o and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o job_n mean_v by_o say_v if_o not_o where_o be_v he_o and_o who_o be_v he_o it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o when_o we_o have_v seek_v all_o the_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v so_o much_o evil_n do_v in_o the_o world_n we_o must_v evermore_o come_v unto_o god_n for_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n do_v both_o good_a and_o evil_n it_o mean_v that_o all_o thing_n proceed_v from_o he_o whether_o it_o be_v prosperity_n or_o adversity_n life_n or_o death_n light_n or_o darkness_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n insomuch_o that_o whatsoever_o the_o devil_n do_v as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o or_o whatsoever_o the_o wicked_a sort_n do_v attempt_n we_o must_v take_v the_o same_o as_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o unless_o he_o give_v they_o the_o bridle_n they_o can_v not_o attempt_v any_o thing_n and_o whatsoever_o they_o devise_v they_o can_v never_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v so_o than_o it_o be_v a_o fair_a martyr_v of_o a_o man_n self_n to_o leave_v

and_o although_o man_n seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o rebel_v against_o he_o yet_o do_v he_o serve_v his_o own_o turn_n with_o they_o spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n this_o be_v it_o that_o job_n mean_v to_o utter_v in_o say_v if_o not_o where_o be_v he_o and_o who_o be_v it_o when_o there_o happen_v any_o mischief_n let_v man_n search_v it_o out_o say_v who_o have_v do_v this_o true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o any_o evil_n happen_v we_o can_v well_o skill_n too_o make_v our_o discourse_n and_o too_o seek_v some_o ground_n of_o it_o here_o beneath_o if_o we_o be_v in_o a_o country_n where_o a_o

officer_n like_o himself_o who_o seek_v but_o to_o entrap_v man_n all_o be_v overturn_v and_o out_o of_o order_n it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o shift_n but_o the_o

together_o froward_a and_o naughty_a nor_o that_o they_o have_v provoke_v god_n wrath_n against_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v folk_n give_v too_o all_o lewdness_n despiser_n of_o god_n and_o loose_a of_o life_n in_o all_o point_n and_o respect_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v they_o be_v desirous_a to_o kindle_v the_o fire_n of_o god_n wrath_n to_o burn_v up_o all_o man_n than_o may_v well_o allege_v the_o lewdness_n of_o governor_n when_o a_o nation_n be_v so_o misorder_a after_o that_o manner_n but_o yet_o must_v they_o mount_v up_o high_o for_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o god_n be_v asleep_a in_o heaven_n and_o have_v forget_v the_o world_n but_o rather_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o work_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o officer_n and_o man_n of_o law_n be_v wicked_a and_o that_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n god_n also_o be_v fain_o too_o shake_v they_o off_o and_o to_o make_v they_o as_o it_o be_v mirror_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n so_o then_o let_v we_o so_o consider_v the_o inferior_a cause_n and_o mean_n as_o we_o may_v nevertheless_o perceive_v in_o our_o reason_n and_o understanding_n that_o god_n abide_v continual_o all_o the_o while_n in_o his_o sovereign_a dominion_n and_o as_o we_o may_v know_v that_o all_o thing_n come_v of_o he_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o shall_v not_o always_o know_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n work_v so_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v search_v to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o make_v great_a circuit_n and_o discourse_n in_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v dazzle_v and_o not_o see_v any_o reason_n why_o god_n do_v this_o or_o that_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v honour_v this_o justice_n of_o god_n which_o be_v unknown_a too_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o sometime_o god_n work_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o his_o justice_n be_v full_o apparent_a and_o man_n may_v see_v it_o with_o their_o eye_n and_o sometime_o also_o it_o be_v hide_v and_o in_o this_o case_n we_o have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v but_o to_o honour_v it_o and_o to_o say_v alas_o lord_n thy_o judgement_n be_v a_o bottomless_a pit_n whereunto_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o attain_v but_o yet_o will_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o confess_v that_o thou_o be_v righteous_a although_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o howbeit_o we_o must_v not_o surmise_v as_o man_n do_v that_o be_v not_o well_o practise_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o thing_n be_v do_v here_o below_o by_o god_n sufferance_n without_o care_v for_o they_o or_o meddle_v with_o they_o for_o that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o cut_v off_o his_o power_n and_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o be_v asleep_a in_o heaven_n and_o leave_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o world_n here_o beneath_o either_o to_o satan_n or_o too_o man_n it_o be_v i_o say_v a_o utter_a deface_v of_o god_n majesty_n for_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o he_o shall_v order_v all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v proceed_v of_o his_o will_n and_o good_a disposition_n true_a it_o be_v as_o have_v be_v say_v that_o we_o see_v not_o always_o how_o god_n be_v righteous_a but_o yet_o must_v we_o acknowledge_v he_o too_o be_v so_o and_o we_o must_v walk_v in_o all_o soberness_n and_o modesty_n and_o then_o in_o the_o end_n god_n will_v make_v we_o to_o know_v that_o which_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o as_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o job_n add_v he_o say_v that_o his_o day_n be_v go_v away_o more_o swift_o than_o a_o post_n or_o a_o ship_n under_o sail_n therefore_o be_v also_o fly_v and_o this_o word_n be_v set_v down_o too_o express_v the_o better_a that_o job_n speak_v not_o of_o some_o great_a ship_n that_o be_v full_o

therefore_o he_o liken_v his_o life_n to_o a_o little_a pinnace_n that_o be_v light_a and_o glide_v swift_o upon_o the_o water_n and_o there_o withal_o he_o compare_v it_o also_o to_o a_o post_n and_o final_o to_o a_o eagle_n that_o sore_v in_o the_o air_n to_o seek_v she_o pray_v here_o job_n show_v how_o sore_o he_o be_v carry_v away_o in_o all_o his_o passion_n and_o it_o please_v the_o holy_a

how_o fare_v we_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o lo_o here_o a_o temptation_n to_o drive_v we_o to_o despair_n which_o be_v when_o we_o forget_v all_o the_o gracious_a goodness_n that_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o if_o we_o can_v bethink_v we_o of_o the_o benefit_n that_o we_o have_v receive_v at_o god_n hand_n as_o we_o have_v see_v job_n say_v heretofore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o same_o will_v make_v we_o to_o forget_v all_o our_o sorrow_n well_o
same_o come_v not_o of_o man_n hand_n nor_o be_v make_v by_o any_o inferior_a art_n or_o mean_a but_o be_v wrought_v by_o god_n only_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o isaiah_n that_o hell_n fire_n be_v prepare_v long_o ago_o for_o the_o wicked_a and_o for_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a breath_n of_o god_n that_o blow_v in_o it_o which_o be_v all_o one_o with_o this_o that_o zophar_n say_v here_o namely_o that_o there_o need_v no_o bellows_n from_o elsewhere_o nor_o any_o foreign_a help_n to_o kindle_v this_o present_a fire_n and_o why_o because_o the_o force_n that_o proceed_v out_o of_o god_n mouth_n be_v enough_o to_o consume_v the_o wicked_a utter_o when_o it_o utter_v itself_o against_o they_o now_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o frame_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_n unto_o god_n as_o we_o may_v not_o feel_v the_o execution_n of_o this_o sentence_n upon_o ourselves_o for_o it_o will_v be_v to_o late_o to_o cry_v alas_o when_o god_n shall_v have_v kindle_v his_o inquenchable_a fire_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n word_n ought_v to_o be_v unto_o we_o as_o a_o burn_a fire_n howbeit_o not_o to_o consume_v we_o but_o to_o cleanse_v away_o all_o the_o dross_n and_o superfluity_n that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o like_a as_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v fine_v by_o pass_v through_o the_o furnace_n ere_o they_o can_v do_v service_n or_o be_v apply_v to_o our_o use_n even_o so_o our_o lord_n intend_v to_o rid_v we_o of_o our_o wicked_a lust_n by_o his_o word_n which_o be_v thing_n not_o only_o superfluous_a but_o also_o hurtful_a that_o we_o may_v dedicate_v ourselves_o afterward_o too_o his_o service_n and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v before_o all_o other_o thing_n therefore_o when_o god_n purpose_v to_o inflame_v we_o with_o the_o love_n of_o he_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v whole_o ravish_v therewith_o the_o same_o must_v be_v do_v by_o the_o mean_a of_o his_o word_n but_o if_o we_o can_v abide_v it_o we_o must_v needs_o become_v as_o chaff_n or_o stubble_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n shall_v not_o my_o word_n be_v a_o consume_a fire_n &_o as_o a_o hammer_n that_o break_v the_o stone_n and_o shall_v not_o this_o people_n be_v as_o chaff_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o we_o can_v not_o disfeate_v god_n word_n of_o the_o office_n that_o he_o give_v unto_o it_o to_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n it_o must_v always_o be_v so_o now_o on_o our_o side_n if_o we_o be_v diligent_a in_o offer_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n he_o will_v purge_v we_o from_o our_o filth_n &_o we_o shall_v be_v reform_v too_o his_o righteousness_n and_o inflame_v with_o his_o love_n but_o contrariwise_o if_o we_o play_v the_o wild_a colt_n and_o malicious_o and_o stubborn_o reject_v god_n word_n let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o spite_n of_o our_o tooth_n and_o do_v the_o best_a and_o worst_a we_o can_v the_o same_o shall_v burn_v we_o up_o even_o because_o we_o shall_v be_v but_o straw_n chaff_n and_o stubble_n which_o be_v consume_v out_o of_o hand_n yea_o and_o when_o god_n have_v make_v we_o perceyne_v our_o damnation_n by_o his_o word_n he_o will_v doubtless_o also_o put_v too_o his_o hand_n and_o make_v we_o to_o understand_v by_o experience_n that_o he_o have_v not_o say_v in_o vain_a that_o fire_n shall_v consume_v the_o wicked_a yea_o even_o without_o any_o blow_n without_o any_o kindle_v and_o without_o put_v any_o man_n hand_n too_o it_o or_o without_o the_o aid_n of_o any_o creature_n by_o any_o mean_a too_o be_v short_a let_v we_o learn_v too_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o nor_o fall_v a_o sleep_n when_o we_o see_v thing_n fall_v out_o as_o we_o will_v wish_v in_o this_o world_n for_o that_o can_v serve_v we_o too_o no_o purpose_n when_o our_o iniquity_n shall_v come_v too_o account_v before_o god_n and_o he_o show_v himself_o too_o be_v our_o judge_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v away_o in_o this_o sentence_n and_o it_o be_v say_v immediate_o that_o all_o the_o residue_n of_o his_o house_n shall_v go_v too_o havoc_n or_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o misfortune_n upon_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o house_n like_o as_o our_o lord_n utter_v his_o goodness_n towards_o those_o that_o be_v he_o by_o blessing_n both_o their_o household_n and_o their_o child_n and_o all_o that_o belong_v too_o they_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o show_v how_o dreadful_a his_o wrath_n be_v by_o spread_v itself_o out_o upon_o all_o that_o be_v about_o the_o ungodly_a according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o world_n be_v general_o defile_v with_o we_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n no_o nor_o any_o corner_n in_o the_o world_n where_o god_n wrath_n and_o curse_n be_v not_o see_v upon_o all_o creature_n be_v it_o not_o our_o sinfulness_n we_o know_v it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o man_n upon_o earth_n that_o do_v good_a but_o all_o of_o we_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o general_a condemnation_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v universal_o in_o we_o all_o now_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n hate_v sin_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v odious_a unto_o he_o so_o then_o see_v that_o all_o creature_n be_v as_o it_o be_v accurse_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o filthiness_n and_o uncleanness_n both_o high_a and_o low_a must_v be_v fain_o to_o feel_v of_o that_o defile_n even_o so_o stand_v the_o case_n peculiar_o with_o the_o wicked_a for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v give_v too_o all_o ungraciousness_n so_o as_o he_o be_v a_o despiser_n of_o god_n rush_v forth_o into_o all_o evil_a all_o that_o ever_o he_o touch_v be_v as_o it_o be_v defile_v by_o the_o filth_n that_o be_v in_o he_o not_o only_o because_o a_o naughty_a man_n mar_v and_o pervert_v those_o that_o be_v conversant_a in_o his_o company_n bring_v up_o his_o child_n lewd_o &_o disorder_v his_o wife_n but_o also_o because_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a curse_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o head_n to_o spread_v out_o upon_o his_o child_n his_o household_n his_o cattle_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v thus_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o remnant_n of_o wicked_a man_n house_n it_o be_v too_o show_v we_o that_o when_o our_o lord_n be_v against_o man_n they_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o be_v abash_v and_o why_o for_o when_o they_o be_v sink_v and_o destroy_v in_o their_o own_o person_n the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n must_v stretch_v yet_o further_o ad_fw-la nthis_fw-la be_v say_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o envy_v the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a when_o we_o see_v they_o farewell_n consider_v that_o their_o end_n be_v such_o as_o we_o see_v here_o therefore_o when_o the_o faithful_a have_v conceive_v how_o terrible_a god_n wrath_n be_v they_o must_v be_v so_o touch_v with_o it_o as_o they_o must_v no_o more_o

conclude_v that_o it_o be_v better_a for_o we_o to_o seem_v miserable_a sobeeit_n that_o we_o stand_v in_o god_n favour_n than_o to_o have_v all_o that_o man_n can_v wish_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n god_n be_v against_o we_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o when_o zophar_n have_v speak_v so_o he_o add_v that_o the_o heaven_n shall_v bewray_v his_o iniquity_n and_o the_o earth_n rise_v up_o against_o he_o he_o have_v say_v heretofore_o that_o fire_n shall_v consume_v the_o wicked_a without_o blow_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o god_n without_o

after_o what_o manner_n the_o governor_n and_o magistrate_n and_o such_o as_o have_v the_o sword_n of_o justice_n in_o their_o hand_n do_v discharge_v themselves_o he_o shall_v see_v and_o easy_o

too_o enter_v so_o into_o god_n secret_n as_o to_o read_v therein_o and_o that_o we_o will_v not_o have_v any_o thing_n too_o escape_v we_o but_o be_v so_o fond_a and_o curious_a as_o to_o have_v a_o

make_v himself_o as_o valiant_a as_o can_v be_v and_o it_o seem_v that_o nothing_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o daunt_v we_o let_v we_o rather_o consider_v what_o our_o feebleness_n be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o vain_a presumption_n but_o may_v understand_v how_o we_o be_v but_o poor_a creature_n &_o that_o we_o can_v well_o hold_v out_o one_o minute_n of_o a_o

do_v when_o we_o behold_v the_o example_n of_o job._n moreover_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o this_o word_n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o arrow_n of_o god_n be_v in_o he_o and_o that_o the_o venom_n of_o

himself_o against_o he_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v able_a to_o outstande_v it_o how_o shall_v that_o be_v possible_a nevertheless_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v bring_v to_o that_o point_n for_o our_o own_o profit_n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n we_o profit_v evil_a under_o god_n scourge_n if_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o beat_v our_o brain_n or_o reason_n with_o man_n to_o see_v from_o whence_o the_o adversity_n come_v unto_o we_o and_o linger_v here_o still_o below_o this_o be_v very_o ill_o consider_v of_o we_o as_o for_o example_n if_o one_o that_o be_v disease_v think_v with_o himself_o such_o a_o inconvenience_n be_v light_a upon_o i_o lo_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v the_o cause_n and_o that_o he_o can_v suffer_v any_o affliction_n whereby_o

to_o allege_v this_o or_o that_o too_o hold_v ourselves_o still_o to_o the_o creature_n we_o profit_v very_o ill_a therefore_o we_o must_v mount_v up_o to_o this_o step_n that_o be_v that_o the_o adversity_n come_v of_o god_n and_o that_o they_o come_v upon_o we_o because_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o heerewithall_o let_v we_o understand_v how_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o god_n have_v shoot_v his_o arrow_n at_o we_o and_o wound_a we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o bethink_v we_o well_o of_o this_o word_n when_o job_n say_v that_o the_o arrow_n of_o the_o almighty_a be_v let_v flee_v against_o

the_o say_v fear_v of_o god_n according_a also_o as_o he_o add_v that_o the_o terror_n of_o god_n be_v bend_v against_o he_o and_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o strain_v let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n do_v oftentimes_o afflict_v those_o that_o be_v wilful_a and_o hard_a heart_a but_o what_o their_o mind_n be_v never_o the_o more_o humble_v for_o all_o that_o for_o they_o beat_v back_o all_o god_n judgement_n as_o a_o anuylde_v beat_v back_o the_o hammer_n but_o god_n wound_v who_o he_o list_v when_o he_o mean_v to_o humble_v they_o insomuch_o that_o they_o be_v strike_v quite_o through_o yea_o even_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o their_o heart_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o job_n mean_v to_o express_v true_a it_o be_v that_o sometime_o the_o like_a shall_v happen_v to_o the_o reprobate_n also_o but_o when_o full_a account_n be_v make_v it_o be_v a_o special_a grace_n which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o his_o own_o child_n when_o he_o pierce_v they_o so_o throughout_o and_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n within_o their_o heart_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v swallow_v up_o by_o it_o and_o their_o heart_n be_v consume_v by_o it_o this_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a for_o we_o and_o we_o will_v flee_v from_o it_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a but_o thereby_o god_n work_v our_o welfare_n and_o it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o th●●_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v blockish_a to_o beat_v back_o all_o the_o conceit_n which_o god_n send_v we_o when_o he_o purpose_v to_o scourge_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n and_o too_o make_v we_o feel_v how_o it_o be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n to_o have_v he_o against_o we_o behold_v how_o we_o must_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o such_o wound_n know_v that_o god_n intend_v to_o humble_v we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v as_o the_o scorner_n who_o do_v nothing_o but_o mock_v at_o his_o judgement_n and_o that_o his_o make_n of_o we_o too_o feel_v they_o to_o the_o quick_a be_v

consume_v whereas_o he_o say_v that_o the_o terribleness_n of_o god_n be_v level_v at_o he_o he_o mean_v as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o he_o have_v not_o man_n to_o his_o enemy_n but_o that_o it_o be_v god_n himself_o which_o war_v against_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v assault_v at_o man_n hand_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v not_o cease_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n arm_v his_o creature_n against_o we_o to_o the_o end_n to_o show_v we_o his_o displeasure_n at_o a_o word_n on_o what_o side_n soever_o the_o mischief_n do_v threaten_v job_n yea_o even_o that_o he_o be_v wound_v he_o must_v acknowledge_v how_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n that_o touch_v and_o press_v he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v the_o terror_n or_o the_o terribleness_n he_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o when_o god_n scourge_v he_o his_o int●●t_n be_v to_o have_v he_o return_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o god_n seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o receive_v his_o servant_n too_o mercy_n and_o too_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o trouble_n which_o they_o endure_v but_o in_o these_o sorrow_n which_o he_o suffer_v he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o take_v hold_n of_o the_o goodness_n which_o god_n intend_v to_o use_v towards_o he_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o impatience_n even_o for_o that_o we_o be_v not_o touch_v as_o be_v requisite_a to_o render_v god_n his_o due_a honour_n for_o proof_n hereof_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o of_o desire_v he_o to_o have_v pity_n upon_o we_o we_o do_v it_o but_o ceremonial_o until_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v at_o the_o last_o cast_v and_o that_o we_o be_v as_o poor_a damn_a soul_n and_o forlorn_a creature_n until_o we_o know_v this_o thorough_o too_o the_o quick_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o our_o desire_v of_o god_n too_o have_v pity_n upon_o we_o shall_v be_v but_o from_o the_o
like_a befall_v to_o job_n child_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o we_o must_v not_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o person_n here_o we_o must_v not_o only_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v that_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n stretch_v out_o his_o arm_n too_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o he_o ought_v to_o tremble_v and_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v have_v missebehave_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n know_v that_o he_o chastize_v we_o by_o other_o man_n harm_n and_o there_o behold_v and_o after_o a_o sort_n feel_v how_o terrible_a his_o wrath_n be_v upon_o all_o such_o as_o advance_v themselves_o to_o resist_v he_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o saint_n paul_n turn_v his_o speech_n to_o the_o faithful_a say_v be_v you_o not_o deceive_v by_o vain_a word_n for_o by_o reason_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v god_n wrath_n wont_a to_o come_v upon_o the_o unbeliever_n true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n flatter_v themselves_o by_o discountenance_v of_o their_o sin_n according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o these_o devilish_a scoffer_n and_o jester_n do_v cloak_v they_o at_o this_o day_n so_o that_o now_o a_o day_n if_o a_o man_n speak_v of_o lechery_n it_o shall_v be_v make_v but_o a_o trick_n of_o youth_n oh_o it_o be_v of_o nature_n and_o if_o a_o man_n speak_v of_o drunkenness_n answer_v shall_v be_v make_v god_n give_v wine_n and_o will_v he_o not_o have_v we_o too_o be_v merry_a with_o it_o you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o manner_n man_n become_v brutish_a and_o spew_v out_o their_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n and_o how_o they_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o shift_n to_o flatter_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o fault_n and_o evil_a do_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n saint_n paul_n say_v my_o friend_n let_v not_o man_n deceive_v you_o with_o such_o heathenish_a talk_n he_o say_v not_o for_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n shall_v come_v upon_o you_o you_o shall_v be_v overwhelm_v by_o it_o but_o he_o say_v learn_v to_o know_v that_o which_o god_n show_v you_o have_v very_o fair_a mirror_n as_o oft_o as_o god_n chastize_v the_o whoremonger_n the_o unbeliever_n the_o disobedient_a the_o stubborn_a and_o all_o such_o kind_n of_o folk_n he_o mean_v too_o show_v you_o that_o no_o evil_n escape_v unpunished_a so_o then_o prevent_v you_o his_o vengeance_n and_o tarry_v not_o till_o he_o fall_v upon_o you_o but_o profit_v yourselves_o by_o the_o instruction_n that_o he_o give_v you_o a_o far_o of_o thus_o much_o concern_v this_o sentence_n wherein_o the_o correction_n that_o god_n send_v be_v set_v afore_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o god_n send_v all_o rebel_n to_o the_o place_n of_o their_o iniquity_n and_o true_a it_o be_v that_o some_o be_v to_o be_v find_v so_o foolish_a and_o madbrayn_v as_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o maintain_v the_o case_n of_o the_o wicked_a against_o god_n but_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n shall_v lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o creature_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a notwithstanding_o that_o we_o know_v not_o wherefore_o he_o do_v it_o and_o this_o be_v according_a to_o that_o we_o have_v declare_v more_o at_o large_a already_o namely_o that_o if_o any_o notorious_a sin_n be_v punish_v before_o our_o eye_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o god_n warn_v we_o and_o set_v they_o before_o we_o as_o lively_a picture_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinth_n so_o as_o if_o we_o see_v a_o man_n that_o be_v full_a of_o blasphemy_n and_o a_o despiser_n of_o god_n that_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n abide_v neither_o yoke_n nor_o discipline_n but_o be_v altogether_o awlesse_a if_o we_o see_v a_o worldling_n a_o lecher_n a_o rioter_n or_o a_o person_n of_o lewd_a and_o loce_fw-la life_n if_o we_o see_v a_o drunkard_n or_o if_o we_o see_v a_o naughty_a pack_n that_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o deceive_v one_o and_o too_o spoil_v another_o of_o their_o good_n and_o if_o god_n perform_v and_o execute_v upon_o such_o a_o one_o the_o vengeance_n that_o he_o declare_v in_o his_o law_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o

god_n use_v never_o so_o great_a rigour_n yet_o must_v not_o we_o therefore_o be_v inquisitive_a and_o say_v why_o do_v he_o so_o we_o know_v not_o neither_o must_v we_o presume_v to_o know_v so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o to_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o calamity_n and_o affliction_n which_o god_n send_v in_o this_o world_n we_o must_v look_v if_o there_o be_v any_o evident_a sign_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o yield_v ourselves_o conformable_a unto_o

unto_o he_o with_o prayer_n and_o bring_v a_o pure_a and_o rightmeen_a heart_n with_o we_o behold_v a_o very_a good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n for_o thereby_o man_n be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o gracious_a goodness_n that_o god_n do_v to_o they_o and_o the_o favour_n that_o he_o show_v they_o in_o that_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o too_o be_v quite_o cut_v away_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n but_o let_v they_o alone_o still_o in_o this_o life_n true_a it_o be_v that_o such_o a_o languish_a as_o job_n be_v in_o will_v be_v far_o hard_a and_o grievous_a than_o death_n and_o we_o see_v also_o that_o when_o job_n look_v no_o further_o but_o too_o his_o own_o state_n he_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o be_v hang_v for_o you_o see_v he_o have_v so_o speak_v but_o in_o

on_o the_o otherside_n so_o great_a pain_n and_o assault_n as_o shall_v be_v intolerable_a true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o say_v poor_a man_n may_v at_o the_o first_o brunt_n wish_v and_o desire_v death_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o will_v require_v no_o better_o than_o too_o pass_v through_o fire_n water_n and_o sword_n according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v that_o such_o as_o be_v overtake_v with_o this_o dread_n of_o god_n will_v have_v the_o mountain_n to_o fall_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v turn_v upside_o down_o to_o

be_v that_o i_o shall_v draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o that_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v scourge_v at_o his_o hand_n he_o call_v we_o to_o he_o with_o sweet_a and_o amiable_a voice_n encourage_v we_o to_o

therefore_o if_o god_n scourge_v we_o and_o send_v we_o affliction_n we_o must_v blame_v our_o sin_n for_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v too_o make_v here_o and_o moreover_o that_o which_o he_o add_v serve_v yet_o further_o to_o confirm_v this_o present_a matter_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o our_o beginning_n be_v small_a god_n will_v increase_v the_o more_o and_o

of_o the_o world_n thou_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n have_v always_o wrought_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o so_o soon_o as_o man_n have_v return_v from_o their_o

no_o hope_n at_o all_o that_o we_o shall_v prevail_v against_o he_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o fall_v to_o some_o agreement_n and_o how_o may_v god_n be_v set_v at_o one_o with_o man_n be_v it_o by_o make_v payment_n of_o themselves_o or_o be_v it_o by_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v righteous_a when_o he_o make_v inquisition_n no_o but_o by_o make_v entreatance_n according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v already_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v how_o it_o
god_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o do_v punish_v man_n without_o cause_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o that_o be_v a_o unjust_a tyranny_n but_o he_o take_v these_o word_n without_o cause_n in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o we_o perceive_v and_o herein_o it_o be_v include_v that_o we_o must_v reverence_v god_n justice_n although_o it_o be_v hide_v and_o overcast_v with_o dark_a and_o thick_a cloud_n yet_o must_v we_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o right_a and_o indifferency_n in_o it_o and_o although_o that_o to_o the_o seem_n of_o our_o natural_a reason_n we_o

what_o job_n mean_v by_o say_v that_o he_o be_v wound_v without_o cause_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v demand_v of_o he_o know_v thou_o any_o evident_a cause_n in_o thyself_o why_o god_n punish_v thou_o i_o see_v none_o for_o job_n be_v handle_v after_o a_o very_a strange_a fashion_n we_o have_v see_v how_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o mirror_n of_o a_o castaway_n and_o how_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o god_n be_v mind_v too_o utter_v all_o his_o anger_n and_o wrath_n against_o he_o job_n therefore_o see_v not_o too_o what_o end_n god_n do_v this_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n in_o it_o as_o too_o his_o knowledge_n that_o be_v true_a for_o he_o speak_v not_o in_o hypocrisy_n and_o in_o deed_n god_n do_v it_o not_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o

because_o the_o devil_n accuse_v he_o that_o he_o have_v neither_o uprightness_n nor_o soundness_n in_o he_o and_o god_n mean_v that_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o trial_n and_o that_o man_n shall_v

for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o word_n be_v mean_v simple_o as_o he_o speak_v it_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o know_v not_o any_o special_a cause_n why_o god_n punish_v he_o so_o according_a as_o of_o truth_n he_o know_v none_o but_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n if_o god_n shall_v use_v all_o the_o rigour_n that_o be_v possible_a against_o a_o man_n that_o be_v like_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n and_o walk_v in_o all_o soundness_n and_o perfection_n i_o say_v if_o god_n shall_v utter_v all_o his_o rigour_n against_o he_o yet_o shall_v he_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a still_o yea_o very_o and_o yet_o be_v that_o without_o cause_n true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o take_v counsel_n of_o our_o own_o brain_n if_o we_o discuss_v the_o case_n as_o it_o come_v too_o our_o own_o fleshly_a

righteous_a he_o know_v why_o he_o do_v it_o we_o see_v no_o cause_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o glorify_v he_o lo_o in_o what_o plight_n job_n be_v and_o he_o add_v that_o god_n give_v he_o not_o respite_v too_o take_v breath_n but_o feed_v he_o with_o bitterness_n here_o job_n show_v that_o beside_o that_o his_o misery_n be_v great_a and_o excessive_a it_o do_v also_o hold_v on_o still_o and_o the_o chief_a piece_n of_o his_o temptation_n be_v that_o god_n feed_v he_o with_o bitterness_n that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o he_o fill_v he_o in_o such_o wise_a with_o anguish_n as_o he_o can_v find_v so_o much_o as_o one_o little_a scrap_n of_o his_o goodness_n too_o refresh_v he_o with_o that_o he_o may_v take_v courage_n and_o here_o you_o see_v yet_o better_a how_o god_n do_v now_o and_o then_o cast_v his_o servant_n even_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o their_o grave_n and_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o we_o ought_v too_o mark_v well_o for_o there_o be_v not_o that_o man_n of_o we_o

have_v escape_v god_n hand_n if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a for_o he_o know_v well_o it_o be_v a_o far_a terribler_n matter_n to_o have_v god_n to_o be_v his_o judge_n than_o too_o die_v a_o

of_o a_o account_n if_o we_o be_v but_o sick_a a_o little_a we_o cry_v out_o alas_o and_o if_o there_o happen_v we_o any_o mischance_n man_n shall_v hear_v we_o make_v complaint_n and_o yet_o our_o

when_o we_o have_v fisk_v hither_o and_o thither_o never_o so_o much_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o we_o shall_v have_v profit_v well_o for_o one_o day_n if_o we_o can_v bear_v this_o lesson_n in_o mind_n why_o so_o for_o although_o god_n threaten_v we_o never_o so_o much_o yet_o it_o be_v see_v that_o there_o need_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o shift_v out_o of_o it_o according_a as_o every_o of_o we_o imagine_v one_o shift_n or_o other_o insomuch_o that_o our_o hypocrisy_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o

to_o be_v judge_v by_o he_o and_o to_o feel_v he_o still_o job_n know_v that_o well_o enough_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o misery_n where_o with_o he_o be_v

and_o that_o it_o shall_v serve_v he_o to_o be_v a_o salve_n for_o his_o sore_n after_o that_o manner_n speak_v job_n in_o desire_v to_o be_v cover_v in_o his_o grave_n and_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v

to_o pray_v to_o he_o and_o also_o when_o he_o intend_v too_o humble_a they_o or_o when_o he_o chastize_v they_o for_o their_o sin_n as_o for_o job_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o suffer_v not_o for_o the_o offence_n that_o he_o have_v commit_v not_o that_o god_n find_v not_o enough_o in_o he_o wherefore_o to_o punish_v he_o but_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o because_o he_o have_v not_o that_o respect_n only_o but_o rather_o meent_n to_o try_v his_o patience_n but_o as_o for_o we_o if_o he_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o blissing_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o be_v not_o worthy_a too_o enjoy_v they_o or_o else_o it_o be_v a_o dash_n with_o the_o spur_n which_o he_o give_v we_o to_o make_v we_o pray_v unto_o he_o the_o more_o earnest_o thus_o do_v god_n promise_v his_o faithful_a that_o he_o will_v guide_v they_o in_o their_o way_n yea_o &_o that_o he_o will_v lend_v they_o his_o angel_n to_o be_v their_o guide_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v not_o step_v one_o pace_n awry_o nor_o be_v encounter_v with_o any_o evil_n this_o be_v a_o goodly_a promise_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o will_v seem_v unto_o we_o that_o our_o way_n be_v shut_v up_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o bramble_n &_o bush_n afore_o we_o &_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mountain_n &_o rock_n round_o about_o we_o thus_o be_v we_o enclose_v &_o no_o likelihood_n of_o possibility_n to_o get_v out_o what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v in_o this_o case_n but_o only_o to_o say_v alas_o i_o be_o not_o worthy_a that_o god_n shall_v perform_v the_o goodness_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o his_o child_n i_o shall_v have_v my_o way_n plain_a &_o level_a &_o i_o know_v not_o on_o which_o side_n to_o step_v now_o therefore_o it_o behove_v i_o to_o acknowledge_v my_o fault_n true_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o send_v his_o angel_n to_o guide_v his_o faithful_a one_o but_o what_o for_o that_o it_o seem_v clean_o otherwise_o in_o i_o therefore_o it_o behove_v i_o to_o pray_v he_o to_o vouchsafe_v to_o show_v the_o performance_n of_o the_o promise_n towards_o i_o thus_o be_v we_o by_o such_o mean_v stir_v up_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n heerewithall_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o will_v not_o berceve_v we_o of_o skill_n and_o discretion_n unto_o the_o end_n but_o will_v make_v we_o too_o find_v way_n where_o none_o be_v and_o his_o work_v shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o better_o know_v unto_o we_o whereby_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o great_a occasion_n too_o glorify_v he_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v wrought_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o we_o look_v not_o for_o for_o when_o god_n have_v go_v beyond_o our_o wit_n and_o hope_n we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o cause_n to_o glorify_v he_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o job_n add_v that_o god_n have_v bereave_v he_o of_o his_o glory_n and_o pluck_v the_o crown_n from_o his_o head_n that_o he_o have_v consume_v he_o destroy_v he_o and_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o hope_n as_o a_o tree_n that_o be_v cut_v up_o here_o job_n betoken_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o god_n scourge_v he_o so_o rough_o that_o if_o he_o be_v compare_v with_o other_o man_n he_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o endure_v much_o more_o than_o they_o and_o second_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o as_o other_o that_o be_v in_o adversity_n who_o though_o they_o suffer_v very_o great_a misery_n yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v as_o a_o tree_n that_o be_v pluck_v up_o but_o yet_o have_v some_o little_a root_n or_o string_n leave_v behind_o so_o as_o there_o be_v yet_o still_o some_o hope_n for_o they_o but_o as_o for_o i_o say_v he_o i_o be_o pluck_v up_o after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o there_o remain_v no_o piece_n of_o i_o but_o god_n seem_v too_o have_v stub_a i_o up_o quite_o and_o clean_o for_o although_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o root_v out_o of_o the_o world_n yet_o be_v his_o life_n like_o a_o death_n yea_o and_o god_n have_v give_v he_o so_o many_o wound_n as_o there_o have_v light_v misery_n and_o calamity_n upon_o he_o his_o child_n have_v be_v curse_v to_o death_n before_o he_o all_o his_o good_n have_v be_v take_v away_o and_o destroy_v and_o his_o body_n be_v become_v a_o rot_a carcase_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o causeless_a that_o he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v cut_v he_o up_o and_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o hope_n like_v as_o if_o a_o tree_n be_v pluck_v up_o quite_o and_o clean_o out_o of_o the_o ground_n so_o as_o there_o remain_v nothing_o of_o it_o the_o strength_n thereof_o fade_v away_o and_o it_o be_v not_o too_o be_v hope_v that_o it_o will_v spring_v any_o more_o upon_o the_o earth_n to_o bring_v forth_o any_o fruit_n because_o it_o have_v lose_v all_o his_o freshness_n job_n then_o say_v that_o he_o be_v deal_v with_o in_o like_a wise_a now_o when_o we_o hear_v these_o thing_n we_o must_v not_o marvel_v that_o he_o be_v so_o sore_o grieve_v as_o it_o seem_v that_o nothing_o may_v comfort_v he_o any_o more_o for_o which_o of_o we_o will_v not_o be_v more_o impatient_a if_o he_o endure_v but_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o that_o which_o he_o endure_v but_o yet_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n stand_v by_o he_o then_o must_v we_o hope_v that_o he_o will_v do_v as_o much_o towards_o we_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o impatiency_n that_o be_v oftentimes_o in_o we_o like_a as_o when_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v patient_a in_o our_o adversity_n it_o behoove_v we_o too_o take_v comfort_n in_o the_o favour_n of_o our_o god_n so_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n when_o we_o can_v abide_v that_o god_n shall_v smite_v we_o but_o be_v so_o testy_a that_o to_o our_o seem_n there_o be_v neither_o order_n nor_o reason_n in_o his_o do_v then_o go_v our_o hope_n to_o wreck_n even_o so_o happen_v it_o to_o job._n he_o not_o only_o displease_v god_n by_o overshoot_n himself_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o we_o have_v see_v but_o also_o it_o be_v not_o long_o of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v not_o cast_v down_o headlong_o into_o despair_n and_o he_o deserve_v well_o that_o god_n shall_v have_v root_v he_o out_o and_o bereave_v he_o of_o all_o hope_n and_o make_v he_o as_o a_o tree_n pluck_v up_o root_n and_o rind_n for_o in_o speak_v after_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o see_v job_n be_v so_o bereave_v of_o god_n

it_o be_v god_n singular_a goodness_n that_o he_o suffer_v not_o his_o servant_n too_o fall_v even_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o that_o thereby_o we_o be_v admonish_v that_o god_n have_v

sometime_o he_o preserve_v we_o in_o such_o wise_n by_o his_o power_n as_o we_o fall_v not_o at_o all_o and_o sometime_o he_o suffer_v we_o to_o fall_v to_o the_o end_n to_o lift_v we_o up_o again_o afterward_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o must_v not_o tempt_v god_n too_o give_v we_o the_o bridle_n like_o frantic_a folk_n under_o colour_n that_o he_o have_v well_o help_v up_o such_o as_o have_v fall_v for_o than_o shall_v we_o abuse_v his_o grace_n again_o it_o become_v we_o to_o magnify_v his_o gracious_a goodness_n towards_o job_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o when_o we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o quite_o quell_v he_o come_v to_o we_o and_o seek_v we_o out_o and_o very_o needful_a it_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v work_v after_o that_o sort_n for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v undo_v at_o every_o blow_n as_o we_o see_v here_o in_o a_o fair_a lookingglesse_a thus_o much_o concern_v that_o say_n and_o furthermore_o that_o we_o may_v withstand_v such_o

our_o
yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v many_o man_n that_o have_v no_o discretion_n when_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a too_o they_o as_o too_o give_v they_o child_n look_v upon_o a_o marry_a man_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o marriage_n be_v already_o of_o itself_o so_o holy_a a_o thing_n that_o this_o only_a say_n ought_v to_o suffice_v when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v two_o in_o one_o flesh_n and_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v more_o account_n of_o the_o unity_n which_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v with_o his_o wife_n than_o of_o the_o unity_n which_o he_o have_v with_o his_o

as_o not_o to_o be_v provoke_v and_o lead_v thereby_o to_o love_v one_o another_o the_o better_a certain_o their_o unkindness_n be_v tooto_fw-la gross_a howbeit_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o it_o

all_o help_n see_v that_o his_o friend_n have_v fail_v he_o and_o second_o that_o he_o have_v be_v a_o scorningstocke_n insomuch_o as_o even_o the_o base_a sort_n in_o the_o world_n vouchsafe_v not_o to_o look_v upon_o he_o to_o take_v he_o as_o one_o of_o their_o retinue_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v say_v that_o his_o affliction_n be_v great_a see_v there_o be_v none_o that_o will_v acknowledge_v

touch_v already_o god_n will_v in_o exercise_v he_o so_o be_v too_o make_v he_o a_o mirror_n unto_o we_o then_o if_o it_o happen_v that_o those_o which_o be_v near_a about_o we_o become_v our_o

as_o the_o same_o pertain_v to_o all_o the_o member_n of_o his_o church_n let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n this_o say_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o that_o eat_v bread_n at_o my_o table_n have_v lift_v up_o his_o heel_n against_o i_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v fulfil_v in_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o therefore_o have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n show_v we_o the_o way_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v too_o loath_a too_o become_v comformable_a too_o his_o image_n we_o see_v then_o continual_o that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v be_v betray_v and_o persecute_v by_o such_o as_o

that_o which_o job_n add_v have_v pity_n upon_o i_o have_v pity_n upon_o i_o oh_o my_o friend_n for_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v touch_v i_o already_o true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o we_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 we_o we_o be_v all_o of_o one_o nature_n all_o one_o flesh_n all_o one_o mankind_n so_o as_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v issue_v all_o out_o of_o oneself_o same_o spring_n sith_o it_o be_v 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

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 his_o wrath_n upon_o man_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o this_o
behold_v god_n by_o faith_n and_o let_v we_o lift_v up_o all_o our_o inward_a sense_n above_o ourselves_o thus_o then_o must_v we_o judge_v of_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v not_o consider_v so_o much_o what_o may_v happen_v unto_o they_o according_a to_o the_o world_n as_o what_o god_n be_v able_a to_o do_v and_o what_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n it_o be_v

that_o all_o the_o felicity_n of_o man_n be_v but_o a_o dream_n special_o when_o they_o think_v themselves_o happy_a and_o become_v proud_a in_o their_o prosperity_n all_o be_v but_o a_o fond_a

it_o seem_v unto_o
therefore_o we_o must_v not_o enclose_v god_n mighty_a power_n within_o our_o imagination_n &_o understanding_n like_a as_o god_n goodness_n be_v endless_a and_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n so_o also_o

when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o our_o god_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v taste_v the_o nearness_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v make_v they_o feel_v the_o thing_n by_o

reign_v over_o we_o and_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o overwhelm_v so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n of_o life_n our_o lord_n can_v well_o quicken_v we_o yea_o even_o after_o a_o wonderful_a fashion_n unknown_a unto_o we_o and_o which_o man_n can_v perceive_v until_o it_o be_v show_v by_o effect_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n also_o why_o ezechiell_n have_v this_o vision_n give_v he_o

to_o wit_n that_o when_o it_o come_v too_o the_o trust_n in_o he_o we_o must_v not_o fall_v to_o reason_n ▪_o have_v god_n any_o mean_n to_o do_v it_o be_v the_o thing_n likely_a or_o have_v we_o

for_o it_o must_v we_o rest_v upon_o these_o earthly_a thing_n no_o no_o but_o every_o one_o of_o we_o must_v stir_v up_o himself_o and_o consider_v well_o lord_n thou_o be_v almightte_v therefore_o

therewithal_o desire_v no_o more_o but_o to_o have_v audience_n before_o who_o not_o before_o man_n only_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v answer_v he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v make_v his_o righteousness_n to_o be_v know_v and_o then_o will_v he_o maintain_v that_o his_o suffering_n be_v not_o for_o his_o sin_n namely_o if_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v thorough_o consider_v and_o that_o god_n will_v pronounce_v sentence_n as_o by_o way_n of_o ordinary_a process_n and_o not_o by_o prerogative_n of_o his_o high_a and_o secret_a power_n so_o as_o man_n may_v not_o know_v why_o

chastice_v we_o according_a too_o the_o threaten_n that_o be_v set_v down_o in_o his_o law_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o be_v punish_v it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v the_o most_o ordinary_a manner_n you_o see_v that_o god_n suffer_v not_o our_o misdeed_n unpunished_a and_o after_o he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o rule_n whereby_o to_o live_v well_o he_o add_v threaten_n say_v if_o you_o break_v my_o commandment_n i_o will_v punish_v you_o with_o war_n pestilence_n and_o famine_n with_o sickness_n poverty_n and_o diverse_a other_o thing_n well_o then_o if_o we_o be_v beat_v with_o god_n rod_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o lay_v our_o life_n too_o his_o law_n and_o if_o we_o find_v ourselves_o to_o have_v do_v amiss_o there_o our_o indictment_n be_v

punish_v he_o not_o in_o that_o measure_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o misdeed_n but_o to_o try_v the_o faith_n and_o patience_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o also_o to_o make_v he_o a_o example_n to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n job_n have_v his_o mouth_n shut_v so_o as_o he_o wist_v not_o what_o to_o say_v and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o not_o to_o inquire_v any_o other_o cause_n why_o he_o be_v handle_v so_o rough_o it_o be_v a_o secret_a unknown_a to_o man_n then_o be_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n that_o job_n desire_v god_n to_o answer_v he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v too_o enter_v into_o plea_n with_o he_o and_o to_o suffer_v he_o to_o maintain_v his_o own_o soundness_n and_o to_o let_v he_o know_v why_o he_o endure_v such_o torment_n but_o herewithal_o let_v we_o

that_o we_o shall_v stoop_v to_o he_o although_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v not_o apparent_a unto_o we_o then_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o visit_v we_o with_o rigour_n and_o we_o see_v not_o why_o he_o do_v it_o yet_o must_v we_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v that_o we_o murmur_v not_o against_o he_o and_o nevertheless_o have_v it_o open_v still_o too_o glorify_v he_o confess_v that_o although_o his_o judgement_n be_v a_o bottomless_a deep_a yet_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v just_a and_o rightful_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v for_o in_o good_a

then_o if_o we_o fall_v too_o provoke_v of_o he_o and_o desire_v too_o go_v too_o law_n with_o he_o be_v not_o to_o our_o great_a confusion_n and_o this_o doctrine_n be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v

that_o there_o be_v a_o mean_a for_o we_o to_o maintain_v a_o good_a case_n we_o know_v that_o they_o which_o be_v most_o faulty_a be_v by_o their_o good_a will_n most_o bold_a to_o justify_v themselves_o when_o they_o be_v rebuke_v and_o although_o their_o condemnation_n be_v apparent_a enough_o and_o every_o man_n do_v see_v that_o they_o be_v nothing_o worth_a yet_o notwithstanding_o

too_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n thereupon_o we_o see_v that_o if_o a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o justify_v himself_o without_o exception_n he_o undertake_v war_n against_o god_n for_o whosoever_o say_v that_o he_o be_v no_o sinner_n intend_v to_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n as_o say_v s._n john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n god_n have_v pronounce_v one_o general_a sentence_n upon_o we_o all_o and_o

manifest_o against_o god_n and_o iustle_v with_o he_o and_o what_o shall_v he_o win_v by_o it_o in_o the_o end_n nothing_o but_o what_o must_v we_o do_v after_o we_o have_v acknowledge_v our_o fault_n if_o we_o be_v repronved_a for_o any_o thing_n and_o feel_v our_o self_n guilty_a let_v we_o cast_v down_o our_o head_n and_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o have_v deserve_v that_o god_n shall_v put_v we_o too_o such_o shame_n as_o to_o be_v condemn_v by_o man_n yea_o even_o of_o the_o bace_a sort_n and_o to_o have_v they_o to_o be_v our_o judge_n but_o if_o we_o know_v not_o that_o we_o have_v offend_v in_o the_o thing_n whereof_o we_o be_v accuse_v god_n mean_v be_v to_o humble_v we_o after_o another_o sort_n nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o receive_v correction_n patient_o final_o if_o man_n reprove_v we_o and_o will_v through_o rashness_n bear_v we_o down_o that_o we_o be_v offender_n whereas_o we_o know_v the_o contrary_a it_o be_v hypocrisy_n for_o we_o to_o grant_v that_o such_o slander_n be_v true_a if_o a_o man_n be_v accuse_v of_o robbery_n of_o whoredom_n or_o of_o murder_n and_o be_v clear_a of_o it_o so_o as_o he_o may_v protest_v before_o god_n and_o his_o

job_n do_v not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o honesty_n as_o the_o vainglorious_a sort_n do_v which_o will_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v touch_v at_o all_o but_o be_v so_o tender_a of_o their_o

they_o themselves_o blaze_v it_o abroad_o so_o as_o every_o man_n know_v it_o we_o must_v not_o go_v that_o way_n to_o work_v but_o every_o man_n must_v in_o that_o case_n judge_n of_o himself_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v of_o his_o neighbour_n and_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o condemn_v the_o evil_a and_o to_o allow_v the_o good_a without_o accept_v of_o person_n lo_o after_o what_o manner_n we_o may_v maintain_v a_o good_a quarrel_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n say_v if_o god_n will_v answer_v i_o though_o all_o the_o man_n upon_o the_o earth_n shall_v bend_v themselves_o against_o i_o and_o that_o my_o adversary_n party_n allege_v all_o that_o be_v possible_a i_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o be_v ashamed_a to_o bear_v it_o that_o i_o shall_v take_v it_o as_o

be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o hide_v our_o shame_n before_o man_n but_o our_o principal_a point_n must_v be_v that_o god_n may_v be_v as_o our_o warrant_n and_o answer_v for_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o answer_n where_o of_o job_n speak_v be_v mean_v as_o i_o have_v declare_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n shall_v as_o it_o be_v enter_v a_o ordinary_a process_n against_o he_o and_o show_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o scourge●_n he_o but_o yet_o therewithal_o job_n pretend_v that_o if_o god_n will_v give_v he_o liberty_n to_o maintain_v his_o case_n all_o will_v make_v on_o his_o side_n and_o they_o that_o have_v reject_v he_o because_o of_o his_o extreme_a affliction_n shall_v be_v find_v liar_n so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o we_o see_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o have_v escape_v from_o man_n but_o we_o must_v special_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n to_o bring_v our_o good_a case_n before_o he_o that_o he_o as_o i_o say_v may_v warrant_v it_o and_o we_o receive_v sentence_n of_o discharge_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o will_v god_n that_o this_o be_v well_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o we_o see_v nowadays_o that_o all_o be_v one_o with_o we_o so_o we_o may_v be_v release_v before_o the_o world_n we_o seek_v nothing_o but_o that_o and_o so_o be_v god_n despise_v for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o which_o think_v that_o ever_o he_o shall_v render_v a_o account_n before_o he_o but_o we_o look_v that_o no_o man_n may_v bite_v we_o and_o that_o if_o any_o man_n come_v to_o assail_v we_o we_o may_v have_v wherewith_o to_o keep_v he_o off_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v so_o escape_v from_o the_o world_n we_o think_v all_o be_v safe_a and_o so_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o make_v we_o bold_a to_o exalt_v ourselves_o the_o more_o against_o god_n wherefore_o let_v we_o think_v well_o upon_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v a_o wretched_a reward_n when_o the_o world_n shall_v soothe_v we_o and_o god_n allow_v we_o not_o and_o therefore_o above_o all_o thing_n let_v every_o man_n examine_v himself_o what_o he_o be_v and_o let_v not_o that_o be_v do_v after_o his_o own_o fancy_n but_o according_a to_o god_n law_n for_o we_o know_v we_o be_v no_o competent_a judge_n but_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o receive_v
down_o before_o he_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o therewithal_o also_o we_o must_v come_v from_o the_o earth_n to_o the_o man_n it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o righteous_a man_n will_v have_v a_o care_n of_o his_o horse_n his_o ox_n and_o his_o ass_n but_o the_o wicked_a man_n will_v turmoil_n their_o brethren_n and_o neighbour_n in_o eat_v up_o the_o sustenance_n of_o their_o life_n without_o any_o equity_n therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v any_o speak_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o beast_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o

and_o cruelty_n that_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v fulfil_v on_o we_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n namely_o that_o our_o withhold_v of_o the_o wage_n of_o such_o as_o have_v

behold_v perjury_n the_o other_o behold_v robbery_n and_o another_o behold_v spightfulness_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o according_a as_o we_o shall_v have_v abuse_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n so_o must_v they_o ask_v vengeance_n against_o we_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n hereby_o to_o walk_v with_o such_o conscience_n as_o we_o may_v go_v with_o our_o head_n upright_o not_o as_o perfect_v before_o god_n to_o bear_v out_o his_o judgement_n and_o vengeance_n but_o rather_o as_o it_o may_v please_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o by_o his_o

of_o the_o gospel_n whereunto_o our_o good_a god_n call_v we_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o that_o to_o the_o same_o end_n it_o may_v please_v he_o etc_n etc_n the_o cxix_o sermon_n which_o be_v the_o

three_o friend_n because_o they_o have_v make_v none_o answer_v and_o yet_o condemn_v job._n that_o we_o may_v fare_v the_o better_a by_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o and_o by_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n what_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o namely_o that_o job_n have_v undertake_v a_o good_a case_n do_v handle_v it_o amiss_o and_o that_o those_o which_o come_v to_o comfort_v he_o have_v undertake_v a_o evil_a case_n use_v good_a argument_n &_o apparent_a reason_n whereof_o profitable_a doctrine_n may_v be_v gather_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o they_o because_o they_o lay_v not_o a_o good_a foundation_n and_o there_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o job_n because_o he_o build_v amiss_o upon_o a_o foundation_n that_o be_v good_a in_o itself_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v now_o that_o eliu_n the_o buzite_n be_v angry_a &_o inflame_v with_o wrath_n because_o those_o say_a man_n have_v

we_o see_v that_o this_o anger_n of_o elius_n be_v not_o without_o cause_n aswell_o against_o job_n as_o against_o his_o three_o friend_n that_o come_v to_o comfort_v he_o for_o although_o job_n

himself_o to_o be_v righteous_a we_o have_v see_v that_o job_n make_v not_o so_o great_a account_n of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n but_o that_o he_o think_v there_o be_v many_o fault_n to_o be_v

and_o it_o will_v seem_v to_o we_o that_o if_o a_o man_n agree_v not_o full_o with_o we_o he_o be_v so_o condemn_v as_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v any_o further_a talk_n with_o he_o but_o before_o

a_o hundred_o time_n that_o the_o earth_n have_v swallow_a he_o up_o or_o that_o he_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n than_o to_o have_v think_v such_o a_o blasphemy_n and_o true_o i_o

do_v run_v astray_o and_o speak_v unto_o wardly_a and_o therein_o we_o perceive_v our_o own_o want_n therefore_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v what_o be_v show_v we_o here_o by_o the_o example_n of_o eliu_n namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o cast_v forth_o any_o word_n at_o adventure_n nor_o be_v overhasty_a in_o give_v sentence_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o and_o whereof_o we_o be_v not_o due_o inform_v true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o lesson_n pertain_v chief_o to_o such_o as_o be_v set_v in_o the_o seat_n of_o justice_n for_o they_o ought_v too_o examine_v matter_n thorough_o before_o they_o judge_v of_o they_o nevertheless_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o observe_v the_o same_o rule_n in_o his_o own_o behalf_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v declare_v yesterday_o and_o always_o we_o see_v that_o which_o be_v say_v namely_o that_o when_o god_n spirit_n govern_v a_o man_n then_o like_a as_o he_o give_v he_o zeal_n and_o move_v he_o to_o religion_n so_o also_o he_o give_v he_o skill_n and_o discretion_n so_o as_o the_o one_o go_v never_o without_o the_o other_o and_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o unruly_a zeal_n it_o can_v not_o be_v count_v for_o any_o virtue_n but_o if_o god_n spirit_n reign_v in_o he_o he_o shall_v perceive_v that_o those_o thing_n be_v inseparable_a and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o prey_n god_n that_o if_o he_o give_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o maintain_v his_o truth_n he_o will_v also_o show_v we_o when_o it_o be_v time_n to_o speak_v and_o when_o to_o hold_v our_o peace_n and_o that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o understanding_n and_o reason_n that_o we_o run_v not_o at_o rover_n through_o unadvisedness_n for_o it_o be_v too_o slender_a a_o excuse_n to_o say_v i_o think_v i_o have_v do_v well_o i_o take_v the_o matter_n to_o be_v so_o true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o he_o be_v sometime_o oversee_v and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n to_o ourselves_o and_o consider_v the_o weakness_n of_o our_o own_o wit_n to_o seek_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n hand_n so_o as_o in_o the_o have_v a_o good_a zeal_n we_o may_v also_o have_v reason_n to_o wield_v and_o rule_v it_o well_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o eliu_n say_v he_o declare_v that_o his_o discourse_n shall_v not_o be_v such_o as_o the_o other_o man_n be_v say_v not_o say_v he_o we_o have_v have_v find_v wisdom_n for_o god_n have_v overthrow_v job_n and_o not_o man_n here_o eliu_n betoken_v that_o he_o will_v take_v another_o way_n in_o dispute_v against_o job_n than_o the_o other_o man_n have_v do_v for_o what_o way_n hold_v they_o thou_o be_v afflict_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n say_v they_o and_o not_o without_o cause_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v conclude_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o wicked_a man_n thy_o affliction_n be_v so_o great_a and_o unmeasurable_a as_o there_o be_v never_o yet_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n see_v to_o be_v so_o sore_o press_v as_o thou_o and_o therefore_o be_v follow_v that_o thou_o pass_v all_o man_n in_o wickedness_n lo_o what_o the_o foundation_n be_v which_o job_n friend_n take_v in_o go_v about_o to_o reprove_v he_o but_o eliu_n protest_v that_o he_o will_v not_o take_v that_o way_n and_o sure_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o if_o he_o have_v go_v forward_o after_o that_o sort_n it_o have_v still_o make_v the_o matter_n worse_o and_o worse_o for_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o job_n be_v able_a to_o maintain_v his_o soundness_n in_o that_o he_o have_v walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o not_o offend_v in_o any_o thing_n save_v in_o that_o he_o can_v not_o settle_v his_o mind_n whole_o to_o the_o obey_n of_o god_n but_o think_v his_o affliction_n strange_a howbeit_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o principal_a point_n his_o case_n be_v good_a and_o just_a sure_o some_o man_n understand_v this_o text_n as_o though_o eliu_n shall_v say_v think_v not_o that_o you_o shall_v become_v wise_a by_o hold_v your_o peace_n and_o that_o god_n will_v confound_v he_o well_o enough_o though_o mortal_a man_n meddle_v not_o with_o he_o but_o if_o a_o man_n look_v near_o to_o the_o matter_n he_o shall_v find_v the_o natural_a sense_n to_o be_v that_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v namely_o that_o eliu_n taunt_v job_n friend_n for_o he_o upbraid_v they_o express_o that_o they_o think_v themselves_o to_o have_v find_v wisdom_n like_a as_o we_o common_o say_v in_o the_o proverb_n that_o a_o man_n think_v he_o have_v find_v the_o bean_n in_o the_o cake_n when_o there_o be_v some_o subtle_a meaning_n in_o a_o thing_n and_o he_o wind_v himself_o into_o some_o company_n to_o put_v forth_o his_o opinion_n and_o device_n bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o he_o have_v a_o invincible_a reason_n although_o it_o be_v but_o fond_a &_o trifle_a so_o speak_v eliu_n here_o it_o seem_v to_o you_o say_v he_o that_o the_o knot_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n have_v press_v job_n after_o that_o sort_n and_o punish_v he_o so_o rough_o therefore_o he_o be_v his_o enemy_n you_o take_v that_o to_o be_v so_o good_a and_o strong_a a_o foundation_n as_o can_v be_v but_o it_o be_v nothing_o worth_a according_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o that_o although_o god_n do_v visit_v a_o man_n it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v wicked_a for_o albeit_o that_o god_n do_v threaten_v the_o transgressor_n of_o his_o law_n to_o punish_v they_o both_o in_o their_o own_o person_n &_o in_o their_o good_n &_o in_o their_o child_n yet_o be_v not_o job_n persecute_v in_o that_o respect_n but_o for_o another_o cause_n although_o god_n threaten_v the_o transgressor_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o he_o reserve_v not_o liberty_n to_o himself_o to_o exercise_v the_o patience_n of_o the_o faithful_a when_o he_o list_v or_o that_o he_o may_v not_o show_v himself_o rough_a towards_o they_o although_o he_o have_v not_o a_o respect_n unto_o their_o offence_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v wherefore_o then_o to_o humble_v they_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reason_n but_o that_o it_o ought_v well_o to_o suffice_v beside_o this_o god_n will_v have_v his_o servant_n a_o example_n unto_o other_o and_o moreover_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o mortify_v their_o fleshly_a affection_n for_o oftentimes_o we_o have_v secret_a vice_n in_o we_o the_o which_o god_n remedy_v beforehand_o and_o sometime_o when_o he_o send_v we_o affliction_n we_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n but_o he_o see_v far_o clear_a than_o we_o so_o then_o we_o must_v full_o conclude_v that_o god_n scourge_v the_o good_a and_o such_o as_o have_v not_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n and_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o show_v himself_o rough_a towards_o they_o and_o too_o execute_v great_a rigour_n upon_o they_o in_o so_o much_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o he_o be_v mind_v too_o overwhelm_v they_o utter_o and_o be_v it_o therefore_o to_o be_v say_v that_o man_n shall_v count_v they_o wicked_a no_o then_o be_v it_o a_o fond_a argument_n and_o although_o job_n friend_n ground_n themselves_o upon_o it_o and_o think_v to_o have_v find_v wisdom_n in_o that_o behalf_n yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o say_v it_o be_v but_o a_o childish_a thing_n wherefore_o concern_v this_o text_n let_v we_o bear_v that_o thing_n in_o mind_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o which_o be_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o discrete_o when_o god_n afflict_v man_n and_o not_o to_o judge_v of_o they_o at_o adventure_n that_o he_o which_o be_v beat_v with_o god_n rod_n be_v forthwith_o to_o be_v condemn_v and_o that_o his_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v by_o his_o affliction_n for_o it_o be_v a_o rash_a and_o unwise_a proceed_n too_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n of_o it_o how_o then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n have_v diverse_a reason_n to_o afflict_v
to_o keep_v they_o from_o stumble_v into_o a_o deadly_a fall_n but_o that_o god_n do_v hold_v they_o back_o by_o affliction_n and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o w●e_n fall_v not_o into_o the_o grave_n be_v that_o god_n afflict_v we_o but_o therewithal_o eliu_n show_v we_o how_o harsh_a this_o medicine_n be_v in_o that_o he_o say_v that_o it_o consume_v our_o flesh_n so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o more_o the_o shape_n of_o man_n but_o be_v like_a unto_o dead_a man_n that_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o our_o bone_n do_v clatter_n without_o and_o we_o can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o take_v breathe_v but_o be_v in_o continual_a torment_fw-mi so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o release_n but_o god_n persecute_v we_o with_o such_o extremity_n as_o we_o can_v no_o more_o thus_o he_o show_v that_o god_n can_v not_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n win_v that_o thing_n at_o man_n hand_n which_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o they_o shall_v know_v themselves_o wretched_a and_o full_a of_o infirmity_n and_o there_o upon_o stoup_n unto_o he_o but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v overcome_v with_o strong_a hand_n and_o continual_a

learn_v to_o bear_v our_o affliction_n patient_o sith_o we_o see_v that_o they_o serve_v we_o for_o medicine_n and_o salve_n be_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n for_o we_o to_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o

to_o humble_v we_o because_o we_o be_v dull_a and_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o fear_n god_n or_o to_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o the_o punishment_n which_o he_o send_v upon_o such_o as_o lift_v

so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n be_v hold_v at_o a_o bay_n he_o will_v undoubted_o say_v i_o have_v offend_v my_o god_n it_o behove_v i_o to_o turn_v a_o new_a leaf_n and_o he_o will_v not_o only_o make_v

let_v we_o weigh_v well_o these_o word_n of_o eliu_n when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n present_v punish_v be_v nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o wrath_n wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o say_v what_o the_o

in_o this_o world_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o very_a deed_n all_o that_o can_v be_v lay_v upon_o we_o here_o be_v nothing_o to_o it_o now_o see_v that_o all_o be_v nothing_o and_o that_o god_n

all_o the_o holy_a scripture_n into_o skoff_v to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o reverence_n nor_o authority_n we_o see_v this_o before_o our_o eye_n howbeit_o they_o do_v always_o

we_o see_v this_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o beteachable_a and_o assoon_o as_o god_n speak_v let_v we_o give_v care_n to_o he_o and_o be_v ready_a to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o his_o word_n and_o let_v nothing_o hinder_v we_o from_o return_v unto_o he_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o this_o sentence_n and_o sure_o our_o own_o nature_n will_v otherwise_o always_o egg_n we_o to_o strive_v against_o he_o as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o furthermore_o here_o appear_v man_n foolishness_n in_o that_o although_o they_o will_v not_o be_v count_v fool_n and_o unadvised_a yet_o they_o

and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o the_o more_o in_o hand_n to_o labour_v for_o humility_n betimes_o and_o to_o resort_v to_o this_o comfort_n that_o god_n give_v we_o when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o

that_o every_o of_o we_o in_o his_o own_o behalf_n shall_v be_v move_v to_o return_v into_o the_o right_a way_n therefore_o let_v we_o have_v our_o ear_n open_a to_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n that_o

which_o be_v hypocrite_n of_o heart_n that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o have_v in_o they_o the_o root_n of_o contempt_n &_o of_o all_o stubbornness_n so_o as_o they_o mock_v god_n and_o have_v no_o

their_o heart_n to_o delight_v in_o it_o &_o to_o feed_v it_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o eliu_n speak_v here_o of_o hypocrite_n of_o heart_n he_o mean_v such_o as_o be_v

to_o do_v of_o mischief_n &_o to_o mock_v god_n and_o of_o such_o manner_n of_o man_n there_o be_v to_o many_o example_n to_o be_v see_v for_o if_o a_o man_n compare_v those_o that_o be_v unconstant_a

they_o will_v not_o in_o their_o adversity_n by_o any_o mean_n submit_v themselves_o unto_o god_n but_o rather_o do_v put_v to_o wrath_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o this_o say_n of_o put_v to_o wrath_n for_o it_o be_v asmuch_o as_o to_o kindle_v the_o fire_n still_o more_o and_o more_o and_o to_o throw_v wood_n into_o it_o to_o increase_v it_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n what_o do_v the_o

show_v by_o open_a sign_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o cursedness_n in_o he_o till_o god_n receive_v he_o and_o gather_v he_o home_o too_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o matter_n may_v be_v lay_v forth_o more_o at_o length_n nevertheless_o it_o will_v suffice_v we_o in_o effect_n that_o the_o ash_n and_o dust_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o be_v not_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o repentance_n but_o only_o a_o outward_a token_n of_o it_o furthermore_o this_o token_n be_v not_o always_o requisite_a but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o make_v open_a protestation_n of_o a_o outrageous_a

open_a protestation_n before_o man_n then_o may_v repentance_n well_o be_v without_o the_o outward_a sign_n join_v with_o it_o but_o when_o our_o fault_n be_v gross_a and_o god_n wrath_n show_v

must_v be_v not_o only_o in_o every_o particular_a person_n but_o also_o in_o the_o whole_a people_n according_a as_o we_o see_v it_o have_v always_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n moreover_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v the_o outward_a token_n but_o our_o heart_n must_v special_o be_v wound_v that_o be_v thorough_o grieve_v for_o provoke_a god_n wrath_n against_o we_o we_o may_v conceive_v a_o soriness_n and_o condemn_v ourselves_o and_o be_v utter_o dismay_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o be_v the_o sorrow_n whereof_o

to_o return_v with_o sackcloth_n dust_n and_o ash_n and_o to_o confess_v themselves_o to_o be_v offender_n and_o to_o crave_v forgiveness_n and_o too_o declare_v with_o solemn_a protestation_n that_o

of_o they_o must_v be_v put_v away_o so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o effect_n which_o job_n mean_v to_o say_v be_v that_o in_o repent_v he_o of_o his_o unaduize_v speech_n he_o add_v that_o his_o so_o

that_o in_o all_o respect_n we_o have_v deserve_v death_n but_o if_o god_n admit_v we_o to_o mercy_n and_o let_v not_o the_o shame_n of_o our_o sin_n hinder_v we_o from_o make_v amends_n for_o the_o offence_n which_o we_o have_v give_v by_o our_o do_v amiss_o hereupon_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n after_o he_o have_v speak_v unto_o job_n turn_v himself_o to_o eliphas_n the_o themanite_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o my_o wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o thou_o and_o thy_o companion_n for_o you_o have_v not_o speak_v right_o before_o i_o as_o my_o servant_n job_n have_v do_v we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o god_n find_v fault_n with_o job_n and_o now_o secondary_o he_o find_v fault_n with_o his_o companion_n yea_o and_o that_o much_o more_o rough_o before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o comparison_n that_o be_v make_v here_o between_o job_n and_o his_o friend_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v the_o order_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v speak_v those_o word_n unto_o job_n turn_v his_o talk_n to_o those_o that_o have_v wrongful_o condemn_v he_o hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o although_o god_n chastise_v his_o own_o with_o fatherly_a gentleness_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o execute_v his_o justice_n thorough_o upon_o they_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o punishment_n or_o chastizement_n begin_v at_o his_o own_o house_n or_o church_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n rebuke_v job_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v the_o other_o alone_o which_o have_v offend_v more_o gross_o than_o he_o a_o man_n may_v demand_v here_o yea_o be_v it_o so_o why_o do_v god_n set_v himself_o alone_a at_o job_n and_o at_o the_o party_n that_o have_v least_o offend_v for_o although_o he_o have_v do_v fault_n yet_o be_v they_o more_o too_o be_v bear_v withal_o than_o the_o fault_n of_o his_o companion_n and_o yet_o god_n seem_v to_o utter_v all_o his_o rigour_n against_o he_o alone_o lo_o what_o a_o man_n may_v say_v howbeit_o he_o be_v rebuke_v first_o because_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o prophet_n must_v be_v sulfil_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n begin_v to_o chastise_v his_o own_o householdfolke_n first_o when_o he_o intend_v to_o execute_v his_o justice_n he_o begin_v not_o at_o the_o unbeliever_n he_o let_v they_o alone_o he_o spare_v they_o as_o though_o he_o have_v forget_v their_o fault_n not_o that_o they_o be_v not_o thorough_o record_v or_o shall_v not_o come_v to_o account_v but_o for_o that_o he_o suffer_v the_o sin_n of_o those_o who_o he_o love_v not_o to_o ripe_a yea_o &_o to_o rot_v yea_o &_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o chastize_v those_o who_o he_o have_v adopt_v and_o who_o he_o avow_v for_o his_o child_n he_o show_v they_o sign_n of_o roughness_n while_o those_o that_o be_v stranger_n to_o he_o take_v their_o rest_n &_o welter_v in_o their_o ease_n &_o pleasure_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o be_v show_v we_o in_o this_o text_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n for_o we_o for_o we_o see_v daily_o the_o state_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v more_o miserable_a than_o the_o state_n of_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n the_o godly_a seem_v too_o be_v utter_o forsake_v of_o he_o they_o drag_v their_o wing_n after_o they_o and_o they_o do_v but_o pine_v away_o in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o wicked_a set_v up_o their_o crest_n and_o be_v merry_a and_o make_v jolly_a cheer_n even_o in_o scorn_n of_o god_n now_o how_o will_v it_o trouble_v man_n to_o see_v these_o thing_n if_o we_o have_v not_o this_o doctrine_n that_o judgement_n begin_v at_o god_n own_o house_n according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o when_o god_n shall_v have_v finish_v all_o his_o
