he_o without_o admit_v any_o excuse_n they_o speak_v lusty_o against_o he_o as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v but_o some_o silly_a worm_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o some_o vile_a thing_n than_o a_o worm_n but_o now_o they_o come_v to_o he_o yea_o even_o with_o entreatance_n for_o god_n have_v bereave_v they_o of_o the_o pride_n that_o blind_v they_o before_o lo_o than_o what_o change_n follow_v when_o we_o be_v humble_v before_o god_n and_o that_o he_o have_v so_o speak_v in_o our_o heart_n as_o we_o know_v what_o we_o be_v for_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o keep_v we_o from_o walk_v in_o fear_n and_o from_o utter_v abace_v of_o ourselves_o but_o that_o we_o be_v sot_v with_o a_o foolish_a overween_a to_o think_v ourselves_o too_o be_v that_o which_o we_o be_v not_o therefore_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o teach_v we_o for_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v mend_v this_o foolish_a pride_n wherewith_o we_o be_v puff_v up_o till_o god_n have_v put_v to_o his_o hand_n but_o beside_o that_o job_n friend_n have_v forget_v the_o pride_n wherewith_o they_o have_v erewhiles_o be_v carry_v away_o they_o do_v also_o show_v their_o repentance_n in_o obey_v god_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o true_a fruit_n that_o show_v the_o root_n to_o be_v good_a which_o otherwise_o shall_v lie_v hide_v in_o the_o heart_n be_v that_o we_o endeavour_n too_o obey_v god_n ordinance_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o act_n man_n and_o brethren_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v when_o saint_n peter_n have_v as_o it_o be_v thunder_v against_o those_o that_o have_v erewhiles_o despise_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v wound_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o prick_v inward_o with_o remorse_n say_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v they_o offer_v themselves_o unto_o god_n to_o follow_v whatsoever_o he_o shall_v command_v they_o therefore_o we_o see_v the_o like_a fruit_n of_o repentance_n in_o this_o text_n for_o job_n friend_n upon_o knowledge_n and_o put_v away_o of_o the_o fond_a overween_a wherewith_o they_o have_v be_v hold_v before_o come_v and_o do_v all_o that_o god_n will_v they_o and_o so_o whensoever_o we_o be_v

it_o be_v one_o piece_n of_o our_o overween_a to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v imagine_v in_o our_o own_o brain_n and_o when_o we_o will_v needs_o be_v overwise_a we_o can_v obey_v god_n but_o when_o we_o be_v utter_o bereave_v of_o all_o pride_n than_o we_o know_v that_o god_n ought_v to_o have_v authority_n to_o tell_v we_o what_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o do_v and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o for_o we_o to_o do_v but_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o without_o any_o gainsay_n now_o it_o be_v add_v immediate_o that_o god_n receive_v the_o face_n of_o job_n and_o turn_v his_o captivity_n or_o be_v turn_v at_o his_o repentance_n when_o he_o pray_v for_o his_o friend_n see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o god_n regard_v the_o face_n of_o job_n and_o accept_v his_o

grievous_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o when_o god_n enjoin_v he_o that_o office_n of_o pray_v he_o hear_v he_o not_o only_o for_o himself_o but_o also_o for_o

be_v say_v that_o god_n make_v that_o thing_n available_a which_o be_v but_o a_o little_a dim_a shadow_n what_o shall_v be_v do_v now_o that_o he_o have_v appoint_v his_o own_o only_a son_n to_o be_v the_o priest_n and_o command_v he_o not_o too_o offer_v up_o goat_n and_o calf_n or_o sheep_n but_o to_o offer_v up_o both_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o sacrifice_n see_v then_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v in_o his_o own_o person_n offer_v himself_o for_o our_o redemption_n and_o to_o do_v away_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o cease_v not_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o still_o

the_o naughtiness_n of_o the_o world_n show_v itself_o in_o this_o that_o man_n can_v not_o content_v themselves_o with_o one_o mediator_n alone_o the_o papist_n run_v seek_v to_o their_o he_n saint_n and_o sheesainct_n to_o be_v their_o patroness_n and_o advocate_n and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o for_o that_o they_o yield_v not_o so_o much_o worship_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n as_o to_o

their_o advocate_n neither_o flee_v they_o too_o he_o for_o succour_v they_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o pray_v to_o he_o they_o hear_v no_o tiding_n of_o it_o among_o they_o and_o on_o our_o

redemption_n have_v be_v purchase_v for_o we_o aught_o to_o come_v too_o our_o remembrance_n and_o before_o our_o eye_n but_o we_o never_o think_v upon_o it_o but_o at_o a_o glance_n and_o there_o

not_o whither_o there_o be_v any_o advocate_n that_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o or_o no._n but_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o our_o lord_n do_v oftentimes_o so_o dazzle_v man_n eye_n to_o the_o end_n to_o turn_v they_o away_o from_o the_o mean_a of_o furtherance_n which_o he_o have_v give_v they_o by_o his_o word_n for_o they_o be_v turn_v away_o by_o their_o own_o maliciousness_n and_o have_v shut_v the_o gate_n against_o themselves_o that_o they_o may_v have_v none_o access_n unto_o god_n to_o call_v upon_o he_o according_a also_o as_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o open_n except_o we_o have_v jesus_n christ_n for_o our_o spokesman_n who_o they_o have_v forsake_v and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o devil_n have_v at_o all_o time_n so_o labour_v to_o put_v forth_o fond_a imagination_n to_o carry_v away_o man_n hither_o and_o thither_o but_o let_v we_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o gad_v out_o and_o rather_o sith_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v hear_v man_n by_o mean_n of_o their_o sacrifice_n so_o that_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o law_n enter_v not_o in_o vain_a into_o the_o sanctuary_n that_o be_v make_v with_o man_n hand_n and_o be_v corruptible_a when_o as_o they_o bring_v no_o better_a thing_n with_o they_o than_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o beast_n let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o now_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v make_v we_o too_o find_v god_n pitiful_a and_o favourable_a towards_o we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v receive_v to_o mercy_n doubtless_o if_o our_o prayer_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o have_v offer_v and_o that_o we_o acknowledge_v how_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o to_o carry_v word_n for_o we_o and_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o be_v hear_v
afore_o say_v behold_v i_o pray_v you_o such_o a_o man_n think_v himself_o very_o wise_a and_o of_o great_a skill_n but_o i_o like_v not_o of_o he_o and_o i_o marvel_v how_o man_n can_v suffer_v he_o to_o talk_v after_o that_o fashion_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n deal_v we_o with_o god_n for_o we_o be_v not_o so_o hardy_a as_o to_o speak_v open_o against_o he_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n nature_n teach_v we_o that_o it_o ought_v too_o make_v we_o shudder_v when_o we_o do_v so_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o against_o he_o that_o have_v make_v and_o fashion_v we_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v so_o spiteful_a and_o wicked_a as_o to_o grudge_v and_o repine_v against_o he_o in_o huckermucker_n and_o too_o pick_v quarrel_n to_o this_o and_o that_o wherefore_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o find_v fault_n with_o god_n work_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o come_v before_o he_o and_o to_o bethink_v we_o of_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o namely_o how_o we_o shall_v speak_v unto_o he_o and_o at_o what_o point_n we_o may_v begin_v and_o then_o shall_v we_o have_v cause_n to_o repress_v ourselves_o and_o the_o folly_n that_o be_v in_o we_o before_o must_v needs_o be_v subdue_v and_o fall_v utter_o to_o the_o ground_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v take_v this_o sentence_n where_o it_o be_v say_v tell_v we_o what_o we_o may_v say_v unto_o god._n and_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v we_o can_v order_v our_o matter_n because_o of_o darkness_n therein_o the_o ignorantnesse_n of_o man_n be_v the_o better_o express_v unto_o we_o for_o here_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v wrap_v in_o darkness_n so_o as_o we_o see_v not_o a_o whit_n and_o how_o then_o can_v we_o order_v our_o matter_n behold_v god_n dwell_v in_o light_n so_o as_o he_o see_v not_o only_a when_o the_o sun_n shine_v as_o a_o mortal_a man_n do_v for_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v at_o high_a nonedaye_n he_o see_v his_o way_n and_o when_o he_o give_v himself_o to_o the_o do_v of_o any_o thing_n the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v his_o guide_n and_o direction_n and_o again_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o view_v his_o ground_n and_o possession_n he_o look_v round_o about_o he_o god_n therefore_o not_o only_o have_v that_o but_o also_o dwell_v in_o so_o great_a and_o infinite_a light_n that_o nothing_o be_v hide_v from_o he_o all_o thing_n be_v open_a unto_o he_o there_o be_v no_o time_n past_a nor_o time_n to_o come_v with_o he_o he_o reach_v even_o into_o the_o deep_n and_o dungeon_n as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o how_o then_o can_v we_o teach_v he_o his_o lesson_n see_v that_o we_o dwell_v in_o darkness_n it_o be_v as_o if_o a_o man_n wereshet_n up_o and_o see_v no_o whit_n of_o light_n and_o yet_o shall_v say_v to_o another_o man_n thou_o wot_v not_o what_o thou_o do_v shall_v a_o blind_a wretch_n tell_v a_o welsighted_a man_n that_o he_o know_v not_o his_o way_n or_o that_o he_o see_v not_o what_o he_o do_v now_o if_o we_o compare_v ourselves_o with_o god_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o be_v worse_o than_o blind_a as_o for_o he_o he_o see_v not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n but_o have_v a_o far_a other_o manner_n of_o fight_n therefore_o must_v we_o not_o needs_o be_v worse_o than_o mad_a if_o we_o presume_v to_o gainsay_v he_o or_o to_o find_v occasion_n to_o reason_n against_o he_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o darkness_n be_v speak_v of_o here_o then_o let_v we_o consider_v our_o own_o state_n and_o also_o the_o state_n of_o god_n &_o we_o shall_v shut_v our_o mouth_n and_o not_o presume_v any_o more_o to_o plead_v against_o he_o with_o such_o liberty_n as_o we_o do_v but_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o lowliness_n in_o we_o to_o fall_v low_a whatsoever_o god_n do_v and_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o rightfulness_n wisdom_n goodness_n equity_n and_o justice_n in_o he_o so_o as_o there_o remain_v not_o any_o thing_n for_o we_o but_o to_o glorify_v he_o in_o all_o respect_n if_o we_o know_v no_o more_o but_o some_o one_o little_a piece_n of_o his_o do_n yet_o shall_v we_o needs_o condemn_v our_o own_o infirmity_n in_o that_o we_o can_v glorify_v god_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o ignorance_n and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o man_n be_v rebuke_v for_o their_o rashness_n in_o that_o they_o make_v haste_n too_o speak_v before_o they_o know_v any_o thing_n we_o see_v how_o tickle_a our_o tongue_n be_v special_o if_o it_o be_v to_o talk_v of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o wonder_n we_o descant_n upon_o they_o and_o how_o at_o all_o adventure_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o darkness_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o rule_v our_o talk_n according_a to_o our_o own_o smallness_n howbeit_o therewithal_o on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o consider_v the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o god_n in_o that_o he_o enlighten_v we_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o darkness_n by_o his_o word_n and_o that_o although_o we_o understand_v nor_o perfect_o in_o all_o point_n how_o he_o make_v the_o world_n nor_o perceive_v the_o mean_n whereby_o he_o work_v still_o yet_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o make_v we_o privy_a of_o his_o mind_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n wisdom_n keep_v he_o company_n when_o he_o make_v the_o world_n raze_v up_o the_o mountain_n sink_v down_o the_o valley_n and_o establish_v the_o order_n which_o we_o see_v but_o it_o be_v say_v also_o that_o the_o same_o wisdom_n cry_v out_o in_o the_o street_n say_v come_v

to_o acknowledge_v his_o presence_n and_o how_o he_o have_v his_o hand_n stretch_v out_o over_o we_o so_o than_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o cause_n that_o we_o shall_v think_v the_o more_o upon_o god_n for_o we_o see_v that_o our_o eat_n and_o drink_v be_v sanctify_v by_o yield_v all_o honour_n to_o his_o name_n and_o therefore_o when_o it_o come_v to_o say_v of_o grace_n let_v we_o acknowledge_v that_o some_o fault_n may_v have_v escape_v we_o and_o then_o will_v god_n sure_o forgive_v we_o all_o our_o misdo_n if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o repair_v unto_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v here_o precise_o that_o when_o job_n child_n have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o feast_v each_o other_o by_o turn_n job_n command_v they_o to_o sanctify_v themselves_o and_o afterward_o

this_o whole_a matter_n in_o the_o end_n we_o see_v then_o that_o job_n be_v none_o of_o that_o sort_n which_o after_o they_o have_v make_v niceness_n for_o a_o while_n do_v final_o conclude_v to_o

do_v their_o duty_n in_o all_o point_n yet_o be_o i_o sure_a that_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n both_o upon_o they_o and_o upon_o i_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o ask_v he_o forgiveness_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o job_n forbid_v not_o his_o child_n to_o use_v their_o accustom_a feast_v and_o wherefore_o for_o the_o thing_n of_o itself_o be_v good_a as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o if_o job_n have_v say_v i_o see_v here_o a_o lewd_a matter_n true_o he_o have_v not_o make_v sacrifice_v for_o that_o have_v be_v to_o abuse_v god_n name_n and_o to_o make_v it_o a_o cloak_n of_o evil_a sacrifice_n be_v not_o ordain_v to_o maintain_v we_o in_o evil_a nor_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v food_n and_o flatter_v himself_o in_o his_o sin_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o may_v do_v

and_o they_o say_v see_v the_o wicked_a fortune_n but_o what_o though_o we_o must_v for_o all_o that_o be_v constant_a here_o you_o see_v what_o the_o patience_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n be_v although_o they_o be_v renown_v in_o the_o world_n for_o courageous_a and_o stout_a fellow_n yet_o cease_v they_o not_o to_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o god_n and_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o

against_o i_o or_o for_o that_o god_n be_v idle_a and_o have_v no_o mind_n of_o thing_n or_o rather_o else_o for_o that_o man_n state_n be_v such_o and_o so_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n such_o manner_n of_o man_n cease_v not_o too_o have_v their_o heart_n full_a of_o venom_n but_o god_n will_v have_v we_o patient_a after_o another_o manner_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n he_o will_v have_v we_o ready_o too_o endure_v all_o thing_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o good_a and_o evil_n proceed_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o he_o will_v have_v we_o too_o abide_v his_o chastisement_n desire_v nothing_o but_o

and_o too_o resist_v they_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o he_o alone_o may_v continue_v our_o master_n for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v that_o patientness_n so_o frank_a and_o

we_o he_o purpose_v not_o our_o destruction_n but_o rather_o procure_v our_o welfare_n for_o as_o for_o he_o that_o imagine_v and_o deem_v god_n too_o be_v bend_v against_o he_o he_o can_v not_o but_o fall_v into_o some_o grief_n and_o anguish_n of_o mind_n yea_o and_o even_o into_o some_o frenzy_n to_o play_v the_o savage_a beast_n and_o to_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o god_n can_v we_o love_v god_n when_o we_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o he_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o undo_v we_o and_o to_o destroy_v we_o so_o than_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o be_v full_o resolve_v that_o when_o god_n punish_v we_o it_o be_v not_o a_o token_n that_o he_o hate_v we_o nor_o that_o he_o hold_v we_o for_o his_o enemy_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o by_o that_o mean_a procure_v our_o salvation_n and_o here_o we_o see_v how_o that_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v our_o victory_n consist_v in_o take_v hold_n of_o this_o love_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n so_o as_o we_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v that_o god_n have_v adopt_v we_o to_o be_v his_o child_n for_o if_o we_o have_v that_o principle_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v dismay_v with_o any_o affliction_n why_o so_o for_o

god_n will_v work_v in_o such_o wise_a that_o our_o salvation_n shall_v be_v advance_v by_o the_o mean_n thereof_o so_o then_o see_v that_o job_n who_o be_v belove_v of_o god_n and_o be_v one_o of_o the_o excellent_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n have_v be_v so_o grievous_o afflict_v let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o god_n do_v now_o and_o then_o suffer_v we_o too_o abide_v over_o hard_a and_o painful_a adversity_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o to_o keep_v we_o still_o under_o his_o protection_n and_o to_o love_v we_o and_o of_o very_a love_n to_o provide_v for_o we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a but_o we_o must_v come_v too_o that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n punish_v job_n not_o only_o in_o his_o

and_o afterward_o be_v sore_o impoverish_v you_o shall_v not_o see_v he_o shrink_v but_o continue_v still_o in_o good_a quiet_a and_o he_o will_v say_v well_o i_o have_v be_v rich_fw-fr but_o it_o be_v god_n will_v to_o chastise_v i_o i_o be_o bereave_v of_o all_o my_o good_n and_o substance_n god_n be_v praise_v for_o it_o a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o this_o man_n be_v so_o constant_a as_o

against_o some_o one_o kind_n of_o adversity_n but_o we_o must_v withstand_v all_o trouble_n and_o here_o we_o see_v also_o why_o our_o lord_n exercise_v we_o in_o diverse_a manner_n which_o be_v a_o

that_o they_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o know_v their_o own_o infirmity_n till_o they_o groan_v again_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n in_o incounter_v and_o god_n

that_o the_o image_n of_o god_o be_v print_v alike_o in_o they_o both_o but_o yet_o be_v the_o woman_n inferior_a too_o the_o man_n and_o we_o must_v go_v by_o those_o degree_n which_o god_n have_v

and_o true_o we_o hear_v how_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o mankind_n be_v come_v of_o the_o man_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n of_o adam_n but_o how_o do_v he_o continue_v but_o by_o mean_n of_o woman_n

that_o man_n shall_v trample_v they_o under_o their_o foot_n or_o shake_v they_o off_o or_o hold_v scorn_n of_o they_o but_o they_o must_v be_v knit_v together_o with_o the_o say_v mutual_a bond_n

although_o we_o be_v promise_v that_o god_n will_v maintain_v we_o in_o this_o world_n as_o though_o we_o be_v brood_a under_o his_o wing_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v there_o in_o peace_n and_o

which_o be_v very_o profitable_a for_o we_o for_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n whereby_o to_o discern_v hypocrite_n from_o god_n child_n a_o hypocrite_n may_v well_o magnify_v god_n with_o full_a mouth_n in_o time_n of_o prosperity_n but_o if_o the_o world_n go_v against_o his_o desire_n a_o man_n shall_v see_v that_o all_o be_v change_v with_o he_o and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o it_o be_v for_o that_o such_o manner_n of_o man_n bear_v no_o reverence_n to_o godward_o further_a forth_o than_o he_o apply_v himself_o unto_o they_o and_o what_o kind_n of_o reverence_n be_v that_o if_o i_o be_v

to_o be_v in_o he_o and_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v live_v together_o in_o one_o common_a accord_n to_o serve_v god_n i_o say_v that_o when_o god_n give_v we_o such_o mark_n we_o may_v well_o

out_o of_o his_o hand_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n do_v run_v at_o riot_n and_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n how_o it_o be_v but_o a_o beastliness_n for_o we_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o judgement_n to_o come_v when_o they_o see_v we_o stand_v upon_o the_o same_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n when_o they_o see_v we_o exhort_v the_o

therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v patient_a to_o godward_o we_o must_v be_v draw_v to_o he_o after_o another_o manner_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n we_o must_v be_v soon_o comfort_v as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v in_o the_o fifteen_o to_o the_o roman_n where_o he_o put_v these_o two_o thing_n together_o as_o inseparable_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v have_v patience_n in_o all_o our_o adversity_n we_o must_v have_v a_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n we_o must_v rejoice_v of_o his_o grace_n and_o we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o his_o scourge_v of_o we_o be_v for_o our_o welfare_n and_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o in_o this_o strain_v when_o it_o be_v say_v refuse_v not_o the_o correction_n of_o the_o almighty_a for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o be_v the_o surgeon_n of_o all_o your_o sore_n it_o be_v he_o that_o will_v send_v you_o health_n of_o all_o your_o disease_n god_n then_o show_v we_o here_o how_o his_o mean_a be_v not_o that_o man_n submit_v of_o themselves_o unto_o he_o shall_v be_v too_o say_v see_v we_o can_v noneotherwise_o do_v needs_o must_v god_n have_v the_o mastery_n of_o we_o for_o we_o can_v exempt_v ourselves_o from_o his_o jurisdiction_n the_o case_n stand_v not_o upon_o come_v too_o he_o so_o but_o our_o lord_n say_v no_o but_o be_v you_o patient_a humble_a yourselves_o unto_o i_o and_o take_v warning_n by_o my_o judgement_n that_o you_o murmur_v not_o against_o i_o ne_o stomach_n the_o matter_n or_o otherwise_o you_o shall_v be_v fain_o too_o be_v beat_v down_o by_o my_o hand_n yea_o even_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o you_o shall_v be_v utter_o overwhelm_v but_o if_o you_o humble_o acknowledge_v your_o fault_n and_o come_v to_o i_o to_o crave_v pardon_n you_o shall_v feel_v assuagement_n of_o your_o misery_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o you_o shall_v have_v cause_n too_o yield_v i_o thanks_n even_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o your_o great_a trouble_n behold_v say_v i_o what_o we_o have_v too_o muse_v upon_o that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o true_a patience_n see_v then_o that_o of_o our_o own_o nature_n we_o be_v stubborn_a against_o god_n and_o be_v angry_a with_o he_o if_o he_o do_v but_o touch_v we_o with_o his_o little_a finger_n see_v also_o that_o we_o have_v such_o a_o proudenesse_n in_o we_o as_o we_o think_v that_o god_n do_v we_o wrong_v if_o he_o chastise_v we_o see_v i_o say_v that_o we_o have_v these_o two_o so_o great_a vice_n it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a matter_n too_o purge_v we_o of_o they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o must_v we_o mind_v the_o lesson_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o god_n by_o scourge_v we_o mean_v to_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o himself_o yea_o even_o to_o our_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n will_v beale_z the_o wound_n which_o ●e_n have_v make_v true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o heal_n pertain_v not_o to_o all_o man_n but_o only_o to_o such_o as_o receive_v his_o correction_n meek_o and_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n put_v in_o mind_n to_o return_v unto_o he_o consider_v the_o gentleness_n which_o he_o show_v they_o but_o what_o there_o be_v many_o which_o taste_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o and_o this_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o see_v so_o much_o impatience_n so_o much_o murmur_v and_o so_o much_o blasphemy_n use_v against_o god_n the_o correction_n light_a on_o all_o through_o out_o but_o where_o be_v the_o repentance_n there_o be_v none_o at_o all_o but_o we_o see_v how_o it_o seem_v that_o man_n have_v conspire_v to_o withstand_v god_n to_o the_o uttermost_a why_o be_v that_o because_o there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o conceive_v this_o present_a doctrine_n or_o that_o receive_v the_o say_a promise_n to_o say_v lord_n it_o be_v thine_o office_n too_o bind_v up_o the_o wound_n which_o thou_o have_v make_v and_o to_o heal_v the_o sore_a and_o therefore_o let_v we_o remember_v well_o this_o lesson_n special_o see_v it_o be_v so_o often_o repeat_v for_o it_o be_v not_o only_o in_o this_o sentence_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v so_o but_o also_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n smite_v we_o and_o heal_v we_o again_o the_o three_o day_n after_o so_o that_o if_o he_o have_v give_v we_o any_o stripe_n with_o his_o rod_n we_o shall_v not_o therefore_o imagine_v that_o he_o will_v not_o be_v merciful_a too_o we_o when_o we_o come_v unto_o he_o when_o such_o exhortation_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o prophet_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v say_v unto_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o i_o have_v scourge_v you_o for_o a_o while_n but_o i_o will_v spread_v out_o my_o mercy_n upon_o you_o and_o that_o shall_v be_v everlasting_a for_o as_o if_o you_o feel_v any_o anger_n or_o any_o sign_n of_o choler_n as_o in_o a_o father_n that_o be_v displease_v with_o his_o child_n it_o be_v not_o because_o i_o have_v hate_v you_o but_o because_o i_o have_v be_v fain_o to_o make_v you_o feel_v the_o fruit_n of_o your_o sin_n and_o to_o do_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o i_o hate_v they_o nevertheless_o in_o the_o end_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o i_o purpose_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o heal_v the_o wound_n and_o to_o cure_v the_o disease_n which_o i_o have_v send_v true_a it_o be_v that_o at_o the_o first_o blush_v to_o our_o seem_n it_o be_v not_o meet_v that_o god_n shall_v take_v pleasure_n to_o wound_n man_n first_o and_o then_o too_o heal_v they_o why_o rather_o do_v he_o not_o let_v we_o alone_o in_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n but_o i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o the_o wound_n which_o god_n make_v be_v as_o good_a as_o medicine_n to_o we_o it_o be_v then_o a_o double_a grace_n which_o god_n grant_v we_o here_o the_o one_o be_v that_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o he_o procure_v our_o welfare_n by_o draw_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o by_o purge_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n special_o from_o the_o sin_n that_o we_o know_v not_o of_o for_o god_n be_v not_o content_v too_o remedy_n the_o inconvenience_n that_o be_v already_o present_a but_o he_o consider_v also_o that_o there_o be_v much_o seed_n of_o sickness_n hide_v within_o we_o therefore_o he_o lay_v hold_v on_o we_o aforehand_o he_o redress_v thing_n amiss_o and_o singular_a be_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o do_v unto_o we_o when_o he_o seem_v to_o come_v against_o we_o with_o naked_a sword_n and_o pretend_v to_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o show_v himself_o a_o physician_n how_o so_o ever_o the_o world_n go_v mark_v this_o for_o a_o special_a point_n then_o follow_v the_o second_o grace_n which_o also_o be_v well_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n bind_v up_o the_o wound_n which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o heal_v they_o and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o i_o have_v allege_v already_o out_o of_o saint_n paul_n how_o he_o suffer_v we_o not_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o our_o power_n but_o give_v a_o good_a issue_n to_o all_o our_o misery_n so_o than_o although_o correction_n be_v profitable_a yea_o and_o necessary_a for_o we_o and_o that_o god_n be_v fain_o to_o provoke_v we_o by_o diverse_a mean_n to_o return_v unto_o he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o spare_v we_o and_o look_v not_o altogether_o what_o our_o sin_n require_v but_o what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v chastise_v we_o with_o a_o man_n hand_n that_o be_v too_o say_v he_o will_v not_o proceed_v according_a too_o his_o own_o mighty_a power_n for_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o if_o god_n shall_v stretch_v out_o his_o arm_n against_o we_o alas_o what_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o he_o very_o he_o need_v no_o more_o but_o to_o show_v one_o angry_a look_n and_o behold_v all_o the_o world_n shall_v perish_v and_o though_o he_o do_v not_o so_o yet_o let_v he_o but_o withdraw_v his_o spirit_n and_o all_o must_v needs_o decay_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o hundred_o and_o four_o psalm_n but_o he_o handle_v we_o gentle_o and_o therewithal_o also_o withdraw_v his_o hand_n when_o he_o see_v we_o too_o sore_o oppress_v and_o spare_v we_o when_o we_o bow_v under_o the_o burden_n conditional_o that_o we_o be_v of_o a_o lowly_a and_o meek_a mind_n for_o we_o know_v how_o he_o tell_v we_o in_o his_o law_n that_o if_o we_o fall_v to_o sturdiness_n against_o he_o he_o will_v be_v sturdy_a towards_o we_o as_o he_o say_v also_o
unto_o we_o namely_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v of_o his_o help_n so_o we_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n quiet_o till_o he_o see_v it_o good_a to_o deliver_v we_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o in_o conclusion_n whensoever_o god_n shall_v have_v make_v we_o to_o wade_v out_o of_o misery_n so_o as_o he_o suffer_v we_o not_o to_o enter_v into_o they_o any_o more_o but_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o they_o once_o for_o all_o it_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o god_n will_v continual_o increase_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o that_o if_o we_o have_v feel_v his_o help_n six_o time_n that_o be_v to_o say_v many_o a_o time_n and_o often_o in_o the_o end_n he_o will_v show_v himself_o yet_o more_o favourable_a towards_o we_o and_o his_o meaning_n be_v not_o only_o to_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n at_o all_o time_n to_o make_v we_o way_n out_o of_o the_o misery_n wherein_o we_o be_v but_o also_o will_v take_v we_o into_o his_o eternal_a rest_n and_o make_v a_o end_n of_o all_o the_o trouble_n wherewith_o we_o be_v encompass_v as_o now_o so_o then_o all_o the_o benefit_n that_o god_n bestow_v upon_o we_o in_o this_o present_a life_n do_v guide_v we_o unto_o this_o one_o mark_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o in_o the_o end_n our_o salvation_n shall_v be_v perfect_v and_o full_a god_n as_o now_o give_v we_o a_o little_a taste_n of_o it_o but_o let_v we_o tarry_v till_o he_o have_v bring_v thing_n to_o their_o true_a perfection_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o perceive_v he_o to_o be_v our_o saviour_n lo_o how_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o this_o world_n aught_o to_o give_v we_o a_o more_o large_a and_o high_a expectation_n of_o god_n goodness_n the_o which_o be_v show_v now_o in_o part_n and_o not_o all_o whole_o but_o after_o he_o have_v say_v so_o he_o add_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v in_o the_o time_n of_o dearth_n some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o eliphas_n declare_v here_o the_o seven_o affliction_n whereof_o he_o have_v speak_v but_o this_o so_o curious_a exposition_n have_v no_o substantialness_n for_o a_o man_n to_o rest_n ful_o upon_o therefore_o let_v we_o follow_v the_o natural_a sense_n such_o as_o it_o be_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o according_a as_o the_o misery_n be_v infinite_a wherewith_o god_n scourge_v we_o in_o this_o world_n so_o must_v our_o hope_n stretch_v out_o itself_o far_o and_o wide_a too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v continual_o wait_v for_o the_o say_a deliverance_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o what_o soever_o kind_n of_o misery_n we_o endure_v you_o see_v why_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o dearth_n of_o war_n of_o wild_a beast_n of_o storm_n and_o tempest_n of_o fire_n and_o of_o other_o calamity_n accord_v as_o we_o see_v how_o our_o poor_a life_n be_v besiege_v with_o so_o many_o sort_n of_o adversity_n as_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o the_o thing_n then_o that_o be_v declare_v to_o we_o in_o effect_n be_v that_o god_n not_o only_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o dearth_n nor_o only_o deliver_v we_o from_o war_n but_o also_o that_o in_o what_o trouble_n soever_o we_o be_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o he_o have_v the_o

for_o we_o see_v what_o the_o superstition_n of_o man_n be_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o they_o distribute_v god_n office_n unto_o other_o because_o that_o too_o their_o seem_n they_o can_v not_o

too_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o ague_n another_o too_o have_v the_o keep_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o a_o third_o too_o have_v rule_n of_o such_o a_o disease_n and_o why_o be_v it_o for_o they_o imagine_v that_o if_o they_o shall_v resort_v unto_o god_n when_o they_o have_v the_o ague_n or_o if_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o he_o for_o help_v when_o they_o have_v the_o dropsy_n he_o be_v not_o able_a too_o intend_v too_o so_o many_o thing_n at_o once_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v better_a that_o each_o several_a office_n be_v commit_v too_o a_o several_a saint_n or_o else_o to_o two_o or_o three_o of_o they_o and_o so_o consequent_o that_o the_o like_a shall_v be_v do_v too_o this_o saint_n and_o that_o saint_n behold_v how_o man_n tear_v god_n majesty_n in_o piece_n by_o their_o devilish_a superstition_n when_o they_o rob_v he_o after_o that_o sort_n of_o his_o operation_n and_o put_v it_o over_o too_o his_o creature_n also_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o this_o doctrine_n wherein_o it_o be_v declare_v unto_o we_o that_o if_o god_n keep_v we_o from_o the_o plague_n he_o will_v also_o keep_v we_o from_o the_o sword_n so_o as_o man_n need_v not_o too_o go_v

that_o his_o power_n shall_v extend_v even_o unto_o all_o the_o death_n that_o can_v threaten_v we_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o not_o only_o have_v a_o way_n too_o deliver_v we_o from_o death_n but_o also_o have_v way_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o when_o we_o be_v afflict_v on_o the_o one_o side_n god_n will_v on_o other_o side_n make_v we_o feel_v that_o we_o

that_o such_o as_o be_v strong_a enough_o too_o endure_v some_o one_o adversity_n will_v immediate_o be_v overcome_v of_o some_o other_o temptation_n as_o for_o example_n a_o man_n shall_v find_v

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

the_o good_a will_n of_o some_o person_n or_o else_o to_o avenge_v himself_o but_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n can_v fasten_v upon_o god_n we_o see_v then_o that_o his_o righteousness_n be_v prove_v on_o the_o one_o part_n for_o when_o god_n scourge_v man_n do_v he_o bend_v himself_o against_o his_o enemy_n no_o â–ª_o he_o address_v himself_o to_o his_o creature_n for_o we_o be_v the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n he_o have_v create_v and_o fashion_a we_o will_n he_o then_o destroy_v that_o which_o he_o have_v make_v no_o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o conclude_v that_o god_n can_v

and_o they_o be_v convict_v thereof_o for_o although_o they_o be_v malicious_a and_o stubborn_a yet_o have_v they_o always_o some_o respect_n unto_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o some_o be_v so_o

will_v not_o do_v it_o then_o if_o man_n be_v evil_a of_o themselves_o do_v no_o evil_a but_o to_o their_o own_o profit_n can_v god_n who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o the_o

therefore_o that_o forsomuch_o as_o we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n he_o will_v not_o destroy_v we_o without_o cause_n we_o see_v that_o when_o a_o workman_n have_v make_v a_o piece_n of_o work_n he_o will_v have_v the_o fame_n to_o be_v preserve_v still_o but_o god_n have_v put_v we_o into_o this_o world_n and_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o record_n of_o his_o power_n righteousness_n goodness_n

what_o job_n declare_v here_o concern_v the_o creation_n of_o man_n and_o concern_v god_n grace_n whereby_o they_o be_v maintain_v in_o their_o state_n then_o mark_v it_o for_o a_o special_a point_n

no_o further_a knowledge_n but_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o god_n justice_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o rest_v there_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o job_n speak_v of_o

be_v we_o desirous_a i_o say_v too_o taste_v what_o the_o heavenly_a life_n be_v first_o we_o must_v know_v too_o what_o end_n we_o be_v bear_v yea_o even_o according_a as_o we_o be_v sinner_n in_o

we_o enter_v into_o that_o battle_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v confound_v utter_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o man_n stand_v so_o much_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n be_v for_o that_o they_o can_v bethink_v they_o of_o god_n justice_n as_o they_o ought_v too_o do_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o come_v too_o that_o point_n howbeit_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v how_o

which_o god_n pronounce_v against_o we_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n i_o say_v when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o we_o must_v also_o beware_v that_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o swallow_v up_o of_o heaviness_n and_o what_o remedy_n be_v there_o the_o remedy_n be_v to_o turn_v our_o eye_n too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o mean_a whereby_o god_n enlighten_v we_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n be_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o who_o we_o have_v the_o true_a daysun_n of_o righteousness_n now_o than_o if_o we_o have_v that_o regard_n with_o we_o no_o death_n can_v be_v dreadful_a unto_o we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o david_n say_v that_o god_n sheephooj_n shall_v comfort_v he_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o in_o the_o darkness_n when_o as_o he_o speak_v of_o god_n sheephooj_v he_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o nothing_o so_o long_o as_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n towards_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v he_o show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n but_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o then_o let_v we_o first_o consider_v of_o what_o mind_n job_n speak_v here_o he_o know_v that_o if_o man_n be_v consider_v in_o themselves_o it_o be_v their_o very_a nature_n to_o have_v nothing_o else_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o confusion_n both_o in_o their_o life_n and_o

according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o god_n turn_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_a see_v we_o know_v this_o we_o have_v too_o rejoice_v in_o that_o by_o

that_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o dungeon_n and_o gulf_n of_o hell_n then_o do_v god_n open_v we_o the_o gate_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o even_o then_o he_o make_v we_o too_o enter_v into_o

before_o our_o eye_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o comfort_v our_o soul_n in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n for_o they_o

must_v cut_v off_o all_o those_o cord_n that_o hold_v we_o back_o and_o present_v ourselves_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n as_o the_o only_a party_n who_o we_o have_v regard_n of_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v regard_v our_o neighbour_n also_o both_o too_o edify_v they_o and_o to_o receive_v comfort_n at_o their_o hand_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o this_o

must_v not_o be_v long_o and_o beside_o that_o the_o conclusion_n of_o they_o must_v always_o be_v to_o glorify_v he_o as_o how_o we_o see_v that_o the_o prophet_n find_v fault_n with_o the_o

after_o this_o sort_n will_v thou_o never_o set_v they_o in_o order_n thus_o you_o see_v one_o kind_n of_o dispute_v or_o reason_v with_o god_n yea_o but_o the_o prophet_n &_o holy_a man_n rest_v

what_o god_n be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v train_v to_o all_o modesty_n and_o soberness_n and_o therewithal_o also_o let_v we_o examine_v what_o we_o ourselves_o be_v when_o we_o see_v our_o

all_o our_o contentation_n and_o rest_n there_o and_o second_o we_o may_v well_o allege_v the_o same_o to_o god_n as_o oft_o as_o we_o desire_v he_o to_o have_v pity_n upon_o we_o for_o our_o misery_n

we_o consider_v what_o our_o childhood_n be_v we_o live_v a_o good_a while_n in_o the_o world_n before_o we_o be_v enter_v into_o very_a life_n indeed_o for_o in_o our_o chilhood_n we_o have_v

because_o we_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v for_o in_o good_a forth_o when_o a_o man_n know_v not_o wherefore_o god_n create_v he_o nor_o have_v the_o skill_n to_o perceive_v to_o what_o end_n he_o

yet_o they_o have_v it_o not_o of_o their_o own_o strength_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n yield_v the_o title_n of_o immortality_n and_o everlastingness_n peculiar_o unto_o god_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o the_o angel_n then_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o man_n be_v they_o mortal_a as_o the_o brute_n beast_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o feel_v well_o how_o god_n breathe_v power_n into_o our_o soul_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v this_o spiritual_a life_n from_o else_o where_o and_o as_o it_o be_v do_v borrow_v it_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o for_o although_o our_o soul_n come_v not_o to_o nought_o ne_o rot_v away_o as_o our_o body_n do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o they_o be_v alienate_v from_o god_n they_o be_v in_o a_o far_o more_o horrible_a death_n than_o if_o they_o be_v utter_o return_v to_o nothing_o our_o state_n be_v better_a if_o we_o be_v utter_o foredo_v than_o to_o beeseparate_v from_o god_n and_o to_o feel_v he_o to_o be_v against_o we_o then_o must_v god_n be_v fain_o to_o give_v we_o another_o life_n which_o be_v that_o he_o knit_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o as_o he_o may_v live_v and_o reign_v in_o we_o if_o we_o have_v this_o once_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a benefit_n wherein_o we_o can_v joy_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n work_v after_o a_o strange_a fashion_n and_o unknown_a too_o man_n reason_n for_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o the_o state_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v during_o their_o life_n in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v not_o only_o set_v in_o like_a state_n with_o the_o unbeliever_n but_o be_v make_v much_o more_o poor_a and_o miserable_a for_o if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o child_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o be_v afflict_v so_o as_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o mankind_n as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n thus_o you_o see_v after_o what_o sort_n god_n suffer_v he_o to_o be_v deal_v withal_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o colossian_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v dead_a and_o that_o our_o life_n lie_v hide_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o god_n will_v show_v it_o in_o due_a time_n and_o by_o this_o we_o see_v a_o goodly_a similitude_n in_o that_o which_o job_n set_v down_o for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o tree_n fade_v at_o the_o come_n of_o winter_n there_o appear_v no_o more_o greenness_n in_o they_o and_o it_o seem_v that_o all_o be_v dead_a when_o the_o leaf_n be_v fall_v off_o and_o the_o tree_n themselves_o frostebitten_a and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o life_n cease_v not_o to_o lie_v hide_v both_o in_o the_o root_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o they_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o spring_n time_n be_v come_v all_o shoot_v forth_o again_o and_o the_o liveliness_n that_o be_v unseen_a for_o a_o time_n show_v itself_o anew_o now_o if_o god_n show_v we_o this_o in_o the_o tree_n will_v he_o not_o utter_v a_o great_a operation_n towards_o we_o that_o be_v so_o excellent_a creature_n sooth_o when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n he_o reprove_v man_n for_o their_o beastliness_n because_o they_o consider_v not_o how_o god_n do_v show_v we_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a figure_n of_o the_o resurrection_n by_o the_o grow_a of_o the_o corn_n upon_o the_o earth_n look_v upon_o the_o corn_n that_o be_v in_o the_o barn_n it_o be_v dry_a it_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o

both_o of_o wheat_n and_o of_o other_o corn_n yea_o and_o that_o even_o by_o rot_v what_o will_v he_o do_v to_o man_n will_v he_o not_o utter_v a_o far_o great_a work_n in_o they_o now_o then_o be_v not_o we_o senseless_a and_o brutish_a when_o we_o perceive_v not_o after_o what_o manner_n god_n work_v to_o confirm_v we_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o life_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o that_o which_o he_o say_v here_o now_o for_o when_o we_o see_v the_o tree_n which_o in_o winter_n time_n be_v dead_a or_o at_o leastwise_o seem_v dead_a become_v fresh_a and_o green_a again_o in_o the_o spring_n time_n we_o must_v be_v confirm_v in_o that_o which_o god_n declare_v unto_o we_o namely_o that_o although_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v and_o we_o be_v here_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n yet_o shall_v not_o that_o hinder_v we_o to_o lift_v up_o our_o head_n continual_o and_o look_v for_o the_o resurrection_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o yea_o and_o even_o now_o although_o we_o seem_v dead_a yet_o have_v we_o god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o we_o which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a warrant_n of_o our_o life_n and_o whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n
and_o let_v they_o play_v the_o drunken_a sot_n and_o yet_o shall_v not_o god_o leave_v his_o look_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o what_o shall_v he_o find_v here_o stinch_v and_o lothlinesse_n we_o be_v loathsome_a to_o god_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o have_v marvelous_a stuff_n in_o we_o but_o what_o gain_n we_o by_o it_o so_o then_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o pride_n and_o stateliness_n to_o think_v we_o have_v any_o appearance_n of_o virtue_n in_o we_o let_v it_o come_v to_o our_o mind_n to_o summon_v ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o let_v we_o bethink_v we_o of_o this_o dreadful_a say_n that_o when_o god_n have_v look_v down_o and_o when_o he_o have_v examine_v man_n thorough_o there_o be_v not_o one_o not_o even_o one_o but_o he_o be_v infect_v and_o stink_a before_o he_o and_o lothly_a in_o his_o sight_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o this_o sentence_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o drink_v iniquity_n as_o it_o be_v water_n it_o serve_v yet_o better_a to_o express_v that_o all_o our_o whole_a life_n be_v give_v to_o evil_a and_o that_o as_o fish_n feed_v upon_o the_o water_n so_o man_n do_v nothing_o else_o but_o feed_v upon_o sin_n very_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o blame_v god_n for_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o adam_n be_v not_o create_v in_o the_o corruption_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o but_o he_o purchase_v it_o of_o himself_o for_o god_n find_v all_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v good_a which_o he_o have_v make_v man_n therefore_o who_o be_v the_o excellent_a of_o all_o creature_n be_v not_o mar_v after_o that_o fashion_n till_o he_o have_v withdraw_v himself_o from_o god_n but_o when_o he_o have_v once_o separate_v himself_o from_o the_o fountain_n of_o righteousness_n what_o can_v remain_v unto_o he_o but_o naughtiness_n and_o corruption_n thus_o we_o see_v from_o whence_o all_o our_o naughtiness_n proceed_v and_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o blame_v god_n for_o the_o vice_n whereunto_o we_o be_v subject_a and_o under_o which_o we_o be_v hold_v prisoner_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n which_o say_v that_o we_o be_v sell_v under_o sin_n and_o become_v the_o bondslave_n of_o satan_n we_o must_v not_o blame_v god_n for_o this_o but_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o heritage_n which_o we_o have_v from_o our_o father_n adam_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v take_v the_o whole_a blame_n to_o ourselves_o before_o god_n lo_o in_o what_o wise_a we_o must_v understand_v this_o corruption_n and_o bondage_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o not_o to_o make_v it_o serve_v for_o a_o excuse_n to_o say_v alas_o what_o can_v we_o do_v withal_o as_o we_o see_v those_o do_v which_o blaspheme_n god_n for_o say_v they_o see_v that_o man_n be_v so_o give_v to_o evil_a what_o can_v they_o do_v with_o it_o they_o have_v not_o the_o power_n to_o withstand_v the_o temptation_n and_o ought_v they_o not_o then_o to_o be_v acquit_v and_o if_o god_n condemn_v they_o thereupon_o be_v he_o not_o too_o cruel_a you_o shall_v see_v man_n blaspheme_v after_o that_o sort_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o all_o the_o evil_n rest_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o soak_a in_o wickedness_n and_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v

be_v accomplish_v namely_o that_o god_n shall_v always_o be_v find_v righteous_a in_o judge_v though_o we_o fall_v too_o check_v against_o he_o yet_o shall_v he_o continue_v always_o righteous_a yea_o even_o to_o our_o confusion_n be_v we_o then_o desirous_a to_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a mean_a to_o do_v it_o which_o be_v to_o come_v and_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o horrible_a confusion_n in_o we_o and_o that_o we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o desire_v god_n to_o receive_v we_o to_o his_o mercy_n and_o to_o make_v we_o righteous_a for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o wash_v away_o all_o our_o filthiness_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o

to_o this_o point_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v not_o after_o our_o own_o like_n but_o according_a as_o god_n have_v command_v again_o whereas_o under_o the_o word_n prayer_n here_o be_v mention_v

this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o sodomite_n live_v they_o not_o in_o pleasure_n and_o ease_n while_o their_o arraignment_n be_v a_o make_n in_o heaven_n very_o that_o be_v the_o sentence_n that_o be_v give_v and_o pronounce_v against_o they_o in_o the_o person_n of_o abraham_n sixscore_o year_n before_o the_o flood_n the_o world_n do_v so_o exceed_v

notwithstanding_o we_o see_v that_o his_o remembrance_n be_v bliss_v yea_o even_o in_o god_n church_n for_o as_o for_o the_o unbeliever_n a_o man_n must_v not_o seek_v to_o have_v any_o renoun_n or_o

so_o likewise_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o curse_v and_o wither_v all_o that_o ever_o the_o wicked_a can_v cram_v in_o they_o shall_v eat_v double_a that_o be_v too_o say_v they_o shall_v

of_o good_n shall_v vanish_v away_o in_o a_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n root_v up_o that_o which_o man_n make_v great_a account_n of_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o wicked_a can_v enjoy_v that_o which_o they_o possess_v true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o will_v be_v proud_a enough_o according_a also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v in_o the_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

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

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

when_o we_o have_v walk_v about_o here_o &_o there_o beneath_o as_o when_o we_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n because_o there_o be_v a_o mark_n and_o print_v of_o the_o majesty_n &_o glory_n of_o god_n let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o it_o intend_v to_o move_v we_o to_o honour_n god_n say_v unto_o we_o that_o he_o be_v there_o above_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o deed_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v unto_o we_o god_n be_v in_o this_o world_n for_o asmuchas_fw-es we_o be_v carnal_a &_o our_o wit_n always_o way_n bend_v downward_o we_o will_v fasten_v he_o

that_o when_o we_o think_v upon_o god_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o imagine_v no_o earthly_a thing_n but_o pass_v beyond_o this_o world_n and_o not_o stay_v on_o our_o own_o sense_n and_o fantasy_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n dwell_v in_o the_o heaven_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v know_v that_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o our_o power_n to_o enclose_v he_o in_o this_o world_n and_o to_o conceive_v what_o

this_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v above_o in_o heaven_n and_o if_o this_o same_o be_v well_o know_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o superstition_n will_v easy_o be_v redress_v as_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v spring_v of_o this_o that_o man_n will_v comprehend_v god_n according_a to_o their_o own_o capacity_n whereas_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o hold_v he_o for_o always_o their_o sense_n will_v fain_o be_v occupy_v in_o search_v out_o curious_o what_o god_n be_v &_o thereupon_o they_o forge_v he_o &_o conceive_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o seem_v

they_o that_o forge_v idol_n &_o transform_v god_n according_a to_o their_o own_o brain_n be_v falsary_n not_o for_o falsify_v any_o public_a writing_n or_o matter_n of_o record_n but_o for_o

according_a to_o their_o own_o appetite_n be_v guilty_a of_o such_o treason_n so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o remember_v well_o this_o lesson_n which_o be_v teach_v we_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n be_v above_o to_o the_o end_n that_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o speak_v of_o he_o we_o may_v know_v that_o our_o sese_n shall_v fail_v we_o &_o vanish_v away_o a_o

word_n for_o that_o be_v all_o our_o wisdom_n and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v well_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n the_o world_n shall_v be_v purge_v of_o all_o superstition_n that_o have_v always_o reign_v in_o it_o how_o happen_v it_o that_o man_n have_v so_o forge_a idol_n &_o think_v that_o god_n be_v not_o nigh_o they_o except_o they_o have_v some_o remembrance_n as_o they_o say_v or_o figure_n of_o he_o it_o be_v for_o that_o man_n take_v leave_v to_o comprehend_v god_n and_o to_o think_v of_o he_o that_o which_o be_v nothing_o so_o this_o be_v then_o the_o

reverence_v he_o with_o all_o humility_n and_o furthermore_o when_o man_n think_v too_o serve_v god_n after_o their_o own_o fashion_n and_o frame_v law_n for_o themselves_o say_v this_o will_v be_v good_a and_o such_o a_o thing_n will_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n it_o be_v because_o they_o will_v make_v he_o like_a unto_o themselves_o as_o though_o he_o delight_v in_o all_o the_o small_a toy_n which_o they_o have_v invent_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n outward_a thing_n &_o so_o do_v they_o transform_v god_n as_o though_o they_o will_v pull_v he_o out_o of_o his_o heavenly_a seat_n to_o draw_v he_o down_o hither_o or_o as_o though_o he_o be_v a_o creature_n &_o a_o fleshly_a thing_n so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o all_o these_o fond_a devotion_n use_v in_o the_o papacy_n and_o term_v there_o the_o divine_a service_n spring_v of_o this_o namely_o that_o they_o know_v not_o the_o highness_n of_o god_n for_o then_o will_v they_o have_v conclude_v thus_o god_n be_v not_o delight_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o seem_v good_a in_o our_o own_o eye_n for_o he_o be_v of_o another_o nature_n than_o we_o be_v he_o be_v a_o spirit_n &_o therefore_o must_v we_o serve_v he_o after_o a_o clean_a contrary_a fashion_n unto_o that_o which_o please_v our_o nature_n neither_o must_v we_o in_o this_o case_n presume_v to_o attempt_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o head_n but_o we_o have_v his_o law_n in_o which_o he_o have_v declare_v his_o will_n unto_o we_o he_o have_v prescribe_v we_o our_o rule_n let_v we_o hold_v we_o unto_o that_o this_o be_v the_o sobriety_n which_o god_n ▪_o

of_o the_o star_n how_o high_a they_o be_v this_o be_v according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o creature_n here_o beneath_o do_v not_o move_v we_o sufficient_o to_o the_o fear_n and_o reverence_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v behold_v the_o sky_n for_o they_o be_v we_o the_o more_o lively_o touch_v true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v too_o villainous_a a_o unthankfulness_n yea_o &_o a_o want_n of_o sense_n when_o we_o be_v not_o move_v to_o honour_n god_n though_o we_o open_v our_o eye_n but_o only_o to_o consider_v the_o thing_n

i_o pray_v you_o how_o shall_v we_o comprehend_v what_o god_n be_v so_o they_o the_o holy_a scripture_n mock_v at_o such_o pride_n as_o be_v in_o man_n when_o they_o will_v inquire_v beyond_o their_o

our_o sense_n be_v too_o weak_a and_o for_o this_o cause_n saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o place_n that_o i_o have_v allege_v that_o man_n do_v vanish_v away_o in_o their_o own_o imagination_n what_o

for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o dwell_v in_o unapproachable_a light_n this_o say_n be_v very_o notable_a god_n then_o can_v be_v know_v of_o we_o and_o why_o see_v that_o there_o be_v

that_o they_o be_v so_o wild_a their_o offence_n be_v double_v and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o eliphas_n mean_v in_o this_o place_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o on_o our_o part_n learn_v too_o way_n

to_o glorify_v he_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o rejoice_v at_o it_o for_o what_o great_a joy_n can_v we_o require_v than_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o god_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v thus_o draw_v near_o unto_o we_o and_o for_o the_o second_o cause_n god_n thereby_o declare_v that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n over_o we_o as_o over_o his_o child_n when_o he_o punish_v our_o enemy_n and_o those_o that_o trouble_v we_o &_o deal_v outrageous_o with_o we_o god_n they_o by_o chastise_v the_o wicked_a do_v ratify_v &_o confirm_v the_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v to_o the_o good_a &_o faithful_a man_n this_o be_v again_o a_o second_o cause_n of_o joy_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v clean_o purge_v of_o all_o desire_n of_o vengeance_n and_o of_o all_o malice_n to_o be_v short_a when_o we_o have_v put_v off_o all_o that_o be_v of_o our_o flesh_n &_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n guide_v we_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o right_n &_o pure_a zeal_n to_o rejoice_v at_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o to_o take_v some_o profit_n by_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n there_o be_v yet_o one_o thing_n to_o be_v note_v which_o be_v that_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v mock_v at_o they_o who_o god_n overthrow_v and_o destroy_v the_o same_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v afflict_v for_o there_o be_v many_o who_o god_n chastise_v for_o their_o wealth_n which_o be_v not_o man_n altogether_o past_o amendment_n and_o he_o punish_v they_o only_o in_o their_o body_n too_o the_o end_n that_o their_o soul_n may_v not_o perish_v but_o here_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v but_o of_o the_o reprobate_n we_o know_v not_o who_o god_n have_v utter_o
not_o move_v one_o finger_n breadth_n and_o much_o less_o can_v we_o come_v unto_o he_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v nay_o rather_o which_o worse_o be_v man_n will_v always_o assay_v to_o run_v back_o when_o they_o doubt_v of_o the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n yea_o &_o his_o majesty_n shall_v be_v fearful_a unto_o they_o if_o we_o conceive_v in_o our_o mind_n that_o god_n will_v deal_v rigorous_o with_o we_o and_o that_o he_o be_v our_o judge_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o afraid_a of_o he_o as_o to_o run_v from_o he_o as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a for_o we_o thus_o to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v that_o unless_o we_o have_v taste_v this_o fatherly_a goodness_n of_o god_n and_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v we_o too_o mercy_n a_o man_n shall_v never_o cause_v we_o too_o do_v so_o much_o as_o to_o ●ome_o too_o repentance_n for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v special_o say_v in_o this_o place_n that_o if_o job_n return_v god_n will_v bliss_n he_o every_o way_n that_o whereas_o he_o have_v be_v spoil_v of_o all_o his_o substance_n he_o shall_v be_v enrich_v again_o more_o than_o ever_o he_o be_v he_o shall_v have_v plenty_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n he_o shall_v

the_o mind_n of_o eliphas_n namely_o that_o job_n shall_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o return_v unto_o god_n by_o conceyve_v the_o say_v good_a hope_n that_o ▪_o he_o shall_v not_o come_v to_o he_o in_o

blot_v out_o all_o our_o sin_n true_a it_o be_v that_o eliphas_n do_v always_o pass_v measure_n in_o that_o he_o think_v that_o god_n make_v those_o who_o he_o love_v to_o prosper_v all_o alike_o in_o this_o world_n that_o be_v to_o great_a a_o oversight_n for_o we_o see_v how_o god_n afflict_v he_o &_o prove_v their_o patience_n by_o make_v they_o subject_a to_o m●ny_v misery_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o love_v they_o therefore_o man_n must_v not_o deceive_v themselves_o by_o imagine_v that_o god_n will_v send_v they_o all_o their_o heart_n desire_v when_o ●e_n be_v merciful_a unto_o they_o but_o we_o must_v come_v again_o to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o law_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o like_o as_o all_o adversity_n be_v scourge_n to_o punish_v our_o sin_n so_o contrariwise_o when_o he_o receive_v we_o unto_o he_o if_o we_o come_v with_o repentance_n we_o shall_v be_v handle_v so_o love_o as_o he_o will_v cause_v we_o to_o prosper_v so_o

&_o a_o other_o with_o many_o torment_n that_o be_v lay_v on_o he_o ▪_o be_v it_o because_o god_n who_o be_v our_o father_n take_v pleasure_n in_o deal_v rough_o with_o we_o no_o sure_o it_o be_v not_o therefore_o but_o it_o be_v because_o we_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v prepare_v for_o we_o and_o be_v ready_a to_o bestow_v upon_o we_o he_o see_v that_o

for_o if_o we_o have_v wealth_n health_n and_o ease_v at_o will_n we_o will_v by_o &_o by_o become_v drunken_a in_o our_o pleasure_n &_o kick_v against_o our_o god_n as_o horse_n that_o be_v to_o

that_o we_o make_v no_o more_o account_n of_o he_o but_o become_v so_o wanton_a with_o they_o as_o he_o can_v not_o any_o more_o enjoy_v we_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v we_o afflict_v so_o many_o way_n

not_o to_o snap_v against_o god_n by_o chafe_v and_o fret_v at_o he_o as_o if_o he_o have_v do_v we_o some_o great_a wrong_n if_o a_o man_n feel_v some_o want_n of_o thing_n necessary_a for_o the_o

and_o prick_v we_o forward_o too_o kick_v against_o god_n and_o wherefore_o because_o we_o consider_v not_o that_o his_o chastise_v of_o we_o be_v of_o purpose_n too_o bring_v we_o too_o the_o

prolong_v they_o so_o as_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o perceive_v not_o his_o day_n for_o now_o adays_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o god_n have_v no_o care_n of_o we_o and_o that_o he_o have_v

say_v god_n delay_v his_o judgement_n and_o execute_v they_o not_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o letter_n now_o let_v we_o advise_v ourselves_o to_o

confuse_v in_o the_o world_n so_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o god_n meddle_v no_o more_o with_o they_o but_o that_o fortune_n rule_v and_o govern_v all_o thing_n and_o this_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o these_o devilish_a proverb_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v toss_v by_o casual_a fortune_n that_o thing_n be_v blind_o guide_v that_o god_n play_v with_o man_n as_o with_o a_o

vouchsafe_v not_o to_o think_v upon_o we_o behold_v the_o blasphemy_n that_o have_v reign_v at_o all_o time_n and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o man_v wit_n be_v dazzle_v when_o he_o

of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v handle_v heretofore_o that_o be_v that_o our_o mind_n be_v so_o froward_a and_o wilful_a that_o we_o turn_v god_n work_v quite_o upside_o down_o and_o can_v never_o take_v any_o profit_n by_o they_o if_o god_n hold_v such_o a_o order_n that_o assoon_o as_o a_o man_n have_v offend_v he_o shall_v be_v punish_v according_a to_o his_o offence_n and_o that_o the_o

pluck_v from_o bylow_n then_o if_o god_n give_v we_o a_o peaceable_a and_o perfect_a state_n wherein_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v mislike_v there_o will_v be_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o we_o will_v no_o more_o hope_n for_o the_o endless_a life_n we_o will_v imagine_v that_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o if_o man_n may_v perceive_v god_n judgement_n according_a to_o their_o own_o desire_n they_o will_v fall_v asleep_a here_o by_o low_a and_o be_v fast_o tie_v to_o this_o world_n but_o it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o thing_n shall_v be_v out_o of_o order_n

notwithstanding_o man_n cease_v not_o too_o entangle_v themselves_o with_o many_o false_a and_o wicked_a imagination_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o because_o thing_n fall_v not_o out_o as_o we_o will_v have_v they_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o surmise_v that_o god_n think_v not_o upon_o we_o ne_o regard_v we_o any_o more_o that_o it_o be_v but_o time_n lose_v too_o serve_v he_o that_o it_o

behold_v the_o mark_n whereat_o we_o must_v shoot_v if_o we_o mind_v to_o gather_v good_a and_o profitable_a instruction_n of_o this_o sentence_n but_o now_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o if_o

intend_v too_o give_v a_o good_a and_o sure_a mark_n too_o discern_v the_o faithful_a from_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n it_o say_v let_v they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n praise_v he_o you_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n enter_v into_o his_o house_n let_v they_o that_o fear_n god_n be_v glad_a and_o rejoice_v let_v man_n that_o fear_v god_n rest_v bold_o upon_o he_o you_o that_o fear_v god_n

our_o ear_n when_o they_o itch_v nor_o yet_o to_o teach_v we_o nice_a point_n but_o to_o edify_v we_o in_o his_o fear_n that_o we_o may_v honour_n and_o serve_v he_o â–ª_o if_o we_o shoot_v at_o this_o mark_n then_o shall_v we_o not_o rove_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v for_o whereof_o come_v this_o vice_n that_o man_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o

the_o fear_n of_o god_n behind_o our_o back_n bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v give_v we_o to_o a_o far_a other_o use_n now_o see_v that_o man_n do_v so_o abuse_v godsword_n and_o every_o man_n unhallow_v it_o ungracious_o so_o much_o the_o more_o behoove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o text_n where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v we_o the_o manner_n of_o

shall_v never_o fear_v he_o aright_o until_o that_o like_a as_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o we_o so_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o god_n our_o master_n our_o saviour_n and_o our_o father_n and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o solomon_n in_o the_o text_n that_o we_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o his_o proverb_n say_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o holy_a thing_n be_v the_o true_a understanding_n after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n he_o set_v down_o the_o knowledge_n of_o holy_a thing_n see_v then_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v knit_v these_o two_o thing_n together_o in_o unseparable_a bond_n it_o behoove_v we_o also_o to_o knit_v they_o together_o hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n will_v never_o be_v in_o we_o till_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o which_o be_v that_o we_o know_v god_n mercy_n as_o it_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n namely_o that_o we_o be_v draw_v unto_o he_o by_o his_o goodness_n where_o through_o he_o allure_v
that_o our_o natural_a wit_n do_v rest_n upon_o and_o look_v at_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o feel_v see_v and_o touch_v therefore_o when_o god_n leave_v we_o in_o such_o extremity_n as_o we_o know_v not_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o thick_a cloud_n between_o he_o and_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v no_o more_o under_o his_o hand_n &_o guide_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o see_v how_o god_n promise_v to_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n to_o we_o when_o we_o think_v he_o be_v farthest_o off_o from_o we_o and_o when_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o his_o eye_n be_v shut_v he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o think_v thus_o have_v god_n speak_v it_o let_v we_o hardly_o hold_v we_o to_o his_o promise_n now_o than_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a conceive_v in_o the_o faithful_a and_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o practice_v this_o well_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o too_o say_v it_o but_o every_o man_n must_v put_v it_o in_o ure_n in_o himself_o when_o any_o adversity_n befall_v we_o we_o can_v but_o think_v that_o god_n have_v turn_v his_o back_n upon_o we_o see_v whereunto_o our_o nature_n drive_v we_o but_o afterward_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o

that_o we_o be_v in_o his_o keep_n &_o protection_n so_o they_o we_o see_v that_o faith_n must_v over-rule_v our_o natural_a reason_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v quiet_a in_o the_o mid_n of_o

which_o look_v not_o unto_o god_n hand_n neither_o in_o weal_n nor_o wo._n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o but_o rather_o whensoever_o we_o have_v any_o prosperity_n let_v we_o consider_v

his_o vengeance_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o mirror_n of_o wicked_a man_n who_o god_n do_v utter_o destroy_v job_n therefore_o protest_v that_o he_o be_v no_o such_o man_n and_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 he_o work_v after_o that_o manner_n and_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o job_n shall_v make_v that_o wish_n and_o why_o for_o diverse_a time_n god_n 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 thorough_o frame_v and_o our_o judgement_n already_o give_v upon_o we_o and_o there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o execution_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o ordinary_a manner_n that_o god_n use_v in_o chastise_v man_n but_o in_o job_n he_o have_v a_o other_o respect_n for_o he_o punish_v not_o he_o for_o his_o sin_n not_o that_o he_o deserve_v it_o not_o for_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n so_o righteous_a that_o can_v exempt_v himself_o from_o god_n correction_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o god_n have_v not_o a_o respect_n to_o job_n offence_n he_o 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 mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o man_n too_o challenge_n god_n after_o that_o sort_n for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v handle_v we_o after_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_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 faith_n there_o be_v not_o a_o more_o terrible_a thing_n than_o if_o god_n shall_v enter_v into_o law_n with_o we_o if_o he_o set_v himselse_a against_o we_o alas_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o 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 note_v for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n do_v daily_o fall_v to_o murmur_v and_o grudge_v in_o themselves_o and_o what_o else_o be_v that_o but_o to_o provoke_v god_n and_o to_o desire_v to_o go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o but_o shall_v we_o bring_v our_o matter_n well_o to_o pass_v true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o which_o skirmish_n after_o that_o fashion_n when_o they_o be_v afflict_v say_v not_o that_o they_o will_v have_v god_n to_o be_v against_o they_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n that_o be_v the_o mark_n which_o they_o shoot_v at_o for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v impatient_a in_o his_o affliction_n and_o hold_v not_o himself_o in_o quiet_a by_o yield_v to_o god_n good_a will_v too_o take_v correction_n at_o his_o hand_n i_o pray_v you_o do_v he_o not_o lift_v up_o himself_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o god_n be_v so_o provoke_v to_o wrath_n shall_v maintain_v his_o own_o right_a let_v we_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o quarrel_v with_o god_n when_o he_o strike_v we_o with_o his_o

the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o for_o a_o time_n sure_o we_o ought_v too_o desire_v earnest_o that_o it_o may_v please_v god_n to_o show_v we_o why_o he_o scourge_v we_o howbeit_o that_o must_v not_o be_v do_v to_o any_o other_o end_n than_o too_o profit_n ourselves_o by_o his_o correction_n and_o to_o apply_v our_o chastisement_n to_o our_o instruction_n when_o we_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o therefore_o when_o every_o of_o we_o feel_v his_o own_o sin_n be_v sorry_a that_o he_o have_v offend_v god_n and_o ashamed_a of_o his_o own_o lewdness_n and_o thereupon_o

unto_o that_o which_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o namely_o that_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o all_o respect_n and_o therefore_o that_o although_o we_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o

judgement_n by_o the_o law_n and_o by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v and_o contain_v there_o so_o then_o let_v god_n seat_n be_v set_v up_o by_o have_v his_o word_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o let_v we_o consider_v thorough_o whether_o we_o have_v walk_v as_o he_o command_v and_o whether_o we_o have_v not_o swerve_v from_o his_o word_n and_o if_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o

not_o give_v ourselves_o to_o ambition_n and_o vanity_n to_o seek_v our_o own_o praise_n before_o man_n &_o to_o exempt_v ourselves_o from_o god_n judgement_n but_o contrariwise_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o feel_v how_o terrible_a god_n wrath_n be_v and_o to_o examine_v well_o our_o own_o conscience_n to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o faulty_a before_o he_o when_o we_o have_v obtain_v this_o that_o

of_o the_o world_n patient_o and_o tarry_v till_o god_n show_v our_o soundness_n open_o and_o make_v it_o to_o shine_v as_o the_o break_n of_o the_o day_n according_a as_o he_o have_v promise_v too_o do_v and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o point_n yet_o notwithstanding_o as_o touch_v that_o job_n say_v that_o he_o will_v bear_v the_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v make_v against_o he_o as_o a_o crown_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o process_n whereby_o he_o shall_v be_v charge_v after_o that_o sort_n with_o his_o fault_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v always_o a_o honour_n unto_o we_o afore_o

and_o judge_v wrongful_o he_o appeal_v to_o the_o day_n of_o god_n i_o appeal_v say_v he_o to_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o see_v that_o saint_n paul_n be_v constrain_v too_o use_v such_o

be_v so_o shameless_a that_o all_o be_v one_o with_o they_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o man_n by_o hook_n or_o by_o crook_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o go_v

that_o if_o we_o do_v amiss_o before_o god_n the_o creature_n shall_v be_v against_o we_o and_o bear_v witness_n against_o we_o as_o how_o if_o we_o have_v oppress_v the_o poor_a labourer_n that_o

their_o blood_n now_o it_o be_v a_o great_a cruelty_n in_o we_o when_o we_o think_v not_o how_o the_o earth_n on_o her_o behalf_n have_v open_v her_o bowel_n according_a to_o the_o order_n that_o

scripture_n use_v such_o speech_n we_o see_v the_o hardness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n we_o think_v ourselves_o quite_o discharge_v if_o we_o may_v find_v some_o pretty_a start_a hole_n and_o although_o we_o be_v convict_v of_o they_o before_o god_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o so_o afraid_a as_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o or_o to_o

strike_v upon_o we_o with_o main_n stroke_z as_o upon_o stone_n he_o can_v no_o more_o soften_v we_o or_o make_v we_o to_o yield_v than_o stithy_n or_o anuilde_v except_o it_o be_v by_o force_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o so_o as_o often_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v after_o that_o manner_n namely_o that_o the_o earth_n cry_v out_o and_o that_o her_o furrow_n ask_v vengeance_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n reprove_v our_o stubborness_n and_o show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v so_o blind_v in_o our_o sin_n as_o we_o can_v come_v to_o knowledge_n except_o he_o draw_v we_o to_o it_o by_o some_o violent_a mean_n mark_v well_o that_o point_n so_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o continue_v hard-hearted_a when_o we_o see_v our_o lord_n use_v such_o vehemency_n against_o we_o to_o wake_v we_o withal_o but_o at_o leastwise_o let_v we_o then_o enter_v into_o the_o examination_n of_o our_o fault_n and_o be_v cast_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 travail_v and_o take_v pain_n for_o our_o profit_n shall_v cry_v unto_o heaven_n and_o all_o creature_n shall_v bear_v witness_n of_o the_o wrong_n &_o extortion_n that_o we_o have_v do_v to_o our_o neighbour_n according_a also_o as_o the_o prophet_n abacuk_n speak_v of_o it_o say_v that_o the_o wall_n of_o the_o house_n which_o be_v build_v with_o deceit_n &_o extortion_n shall_v cry_v out_o loud_a and_o shirle_z and_o play_v the_o quirrester_n in_o that_o behalf_n as_o they_o term_v they_o so_o as_o they_o shall_v answer_v one_o another_o on_o either_o side_n the_o one_o side_n sing_v behold_v blood_n the_o other_o behold_v murder_n the_o one_o behold_v deceit_n the_o other_o behold_v cruelty_n the_o one_o behold_v pill_v &_o poll_n the_o other_o behold_v covetousness_n the_o one_o 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 infinite_a goodness_n &_o so_o to_o guide_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o we_o may_v apply_v our_o endeavour_n to_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n according_a to_o the_o grace_n he_o shall_v have_v give_v us._n now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o so_o to_o feel_v

yea_o and_o after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v whole_o govern_v by_o he_o and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o he_o to_o draw_v they_o back_o from_o the_o grave_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o

so_o man_n can_v glorify_v god_n and_o take_v all_o shame_n to_o themselves_o they_o will_v always_o challenge_v somewhat_o too_o themselves_o &_o although_o they_o ought_v to_o know_v their_o own_o

to_o reserve_v somewhat_o to_o themselves_o &_o can_v yield_v up_o all_o unto_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o can_v full_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a justification_n which_o show_v we_o that_o god_n receive_v we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n and_o that_o his_o accept_n of_o we_o be_v not_o for_o any_o respect_n of_o our_o own_o work_n which_o be_v altogether_o

notwithstanding_o that_o by_o nature_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o wretchedness_n and_o cursedness_n for_o this_o cause_n eliu_n have_v show_v how_o much_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o god_n

bereave_v we_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o belong_v unto_o we_o as_o though_o he_o envy_v we_o
long_a time_n and_o prolong_v the_o term_n of_o the_o wicked_a at_o length_n he_o will_v show_v that_o although_o he_o wait_v for_o their_o repentance_n yet_o he_o forget_v not_o their_o misdeed_n but_o register_v they_o before_o he_o and_o pack_v they_o up_o upon_o a_o great_a heap_n to_o increase_v the_o terror_n of_o his_o wrath_n their_o delay_n therefore_o shall_v be_v dear_o sell_v unto_o they_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o abuse_v god_n patience_n who_o forbear_v to_o punish_v they_o at_o the_o first_o to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v have_v leisure_n to_o know_v their_o fault_n &_o to_o amend_v they_o mark_v this_o for_o one_o point_n namely_o that_o god_n execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n at_o the_o first_o day_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v perceive_v with_o our_o eye_n that_o he_o recompense_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o in_o good_a faith_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o he_o shall_v punish_v sin_n forthwith_o as_o they_o deserve_v we_o will_v not_o look_v for_o any_o other_o day_n for_o all_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v in_o this_o world_n and_o then_o where_o be_v the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n concern_v our_o rise_n again_o and_o our_o come_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v short_a there_o shall_v be_v neither_o reward_n for_o the_o good_a nor_o fear_v for_o the_o wicked_a and_o rebellious_a and_o this_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v purposely_o say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o god_n will_v render_v recompense_n or_o requite_v saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n say_v not_o that_o he_o will_v recompense_v from_o day_n too_o day_n but_o that_o he_o will_v recompense_v and_o when_o at_o the_o last_o day_n elius_n say_v be_v not_o against_o this_o sentence_n but_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n will_v render_v he_o presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v true_a namely_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v our_o mind_n at_o a_o stay_n until_o god_n show_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o for_o a_o time_n our_o faith_n i_o say_v must_v be_v exercise_v in_o wait_v patient_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o perceive_v not_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o that_o god_n give_v we_o some_o token_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o show_v we_o some_o notable_a example_n whereby_o we_o be_v enforce_v to_o feel_v that_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o man_n to_o punish_v their_o offence_n if_o god_n give_v we_o any_o record_n of_o it_o let_v we_o be_v content_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n be_v patient_a until_o we_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o as_o now_o reserve_v to_o himself_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v take_v this_o sentence_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o use_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o recompense_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n but_o that_o he_o also_o bear_v with_o they_o who_o he_o punish_v and_o show_v they_o some_o favour_n although_o that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o be_v rigorous_a too_o they_o and_o make_v they_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v their_o judge_n howbeit_o that_o be_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o world_n god_n pass_v not_o to_o punish_v our_o sin_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o they_o do_v deserve_v for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o send_v we_o disease_n want_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o he_o shall_v thunder_v upon_o we_o and_o overwhelm_v we_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o feel_v some_o terrible_a punishment_n but_o he_o shall_v arm_v himself_o in_o his_o mighty_a majesty_n to_o confound_v and_o overwhelm_v we_o for_o what_o be_v our_o sin_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n punish_v not_o sinner_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n in_o full_a measure_n as_o they_o have_v deserve_v it_o but_o bear_v with_o they_o so_o that_o all_o the_o chastisement_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o this_o world_n be_v but_o god_n warning_n in_o give_v leisure_n to_o repent_v not_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v profit_v all_o man_n â–ª_o for_o the_o wicked_a be_v condemn_v already_o because_o they_o be_v past_a amendment_n and_o god_n have_v not_o only_o frame_v their_o indictment_n but_o also_o set_v down_o their_o condemnation_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v execute_v whensoever_o he_o will._n how_o soever_o the_o world_n go_v if_o we_o consider_v well_o the_o chastizement_n that_o god_n show_v we_o in_o this_o world_n all_o of_o they_o be_v nothing_o comparable_a unto_o our_o sin_n but_o he_o give_v we_o respite_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v think_v upon_o they_o thus_o see_v you_o yet_o one_o other_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text._n and_o the_o third_o be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o recompense_v man_n according_a to_o their_o way_n but_o that_o he_o reserve_v power_n to_o himself_o to_o pardon_v those_o who_o he_o list_v when_o he_o intend_v to_o bring_v they_o back_o to_o himself_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v his_o choose_a and_o why_o for_o it_o please_v he_o to_o receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n and_o too_o be_v at_o one_o with_o they_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o bury_v their_o sin_n so_o as_o he_o enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n god_n then_o have_v liberty_n to_o put_v away_o our_o offence_n without_o punish_v they_o and_o yet_o the_o same_o be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o to_o his_o justice_n and_o why_o for_o when_o god_n list_v to_o forgive_v our_o sin_n how_o deal_v he_o he_o nourish_v not_o the_o evil_a in_o we_o but_o he_o touch_v we_o with_o it_o and_o show_v we_o it_o and_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v how_o sore_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o afterward_o give_v we_o a_o mind_n to_o be_v sorry_a &_o to_o mourn_v for_o our_o sin_n when_o we_o be_v so_o touch_v with_o repentance_n we_o become_v judge_n of_o our_o own_o fault_n and_o condemn_v they_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n have_v execute_v his_o office_n for_o it_o be_v much_o more_o when_o a_o man_n condemn_v himself_o than_o if_o he_o be_v condemn_v of_o god_n and_o gnash_v his_o tooth_n and_o abide_v still_o unamendable_a and_o stubborn_a in_o his_o wickedness_n therefore_o god_n forget_v not_o his_o office_n when_o he_o draw_v we_o too_o repentance_n for_o he_o pardon_v not_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n too_o cocker_v we_o but_o contrariwise_o too_o the_o intent_n to_o double_v his_o righteousness_n so_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o may_v feel_v the_o evil_a that_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o may_v make_v his_o mercy_n shine_v upon_o we_o too_o discover_v the_o misery_n wherein_o we_o be_v till_o he_o have_v set_v we_o free_a from_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n forgive_a of_o the_o offence_n of_o his_o choose_a be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o to_o his_o justice_n that_o this_o say_n shall_v not_o be_v always_o true_a that_o he_o recompense_v man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n and_o make_v they_o find_v according_a to_o their_o way_n now_o we_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v that_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o his_o righteousness_n it_o behove_v we_o always_o to_o be_v persuade_v in_o our_o affliction_n that_o we_o suffer_v not_o any_o thing_n wrongful_o but_o that_o god_n have_v reason_n too_o chastise_v we_o and_o that_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o

have_v always_o cause_n too_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v exceed_o bind_v unto_o he_o for_o that_o he_o use_v no_o extreme_a rigour_n against_o we_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v final_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o although_o he_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n yet_o he_o spare_v we_o and_o that_o although_o he_o show_v himself_o rough_a and_o sharp_a yet_o do_v he_o intermeddle_v his_o goodness_n with_o it_o and_o therefore_o that_o he_o be_v always_o righteous_a insomuch_o that_o man_n shall_v gain_v nothing_o when_o they_o think_v to_o quit_v themselves_o but_o the_o best_a for_o we_o be_v that_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n call_v we_o and_o allure_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o we_o fall_v to_o feel_n of_o our_o offence_n before_o the_o blow_n come_v and_o be_v sorry_a and_o mourn_v for_o they_o so_o as_o god_n may_v be_v incline_v to_o forgive_v we_o lo_n what_o we_o have_v in_o effect_n
to_o remember_v in_o this_o sentence_n according_a hereunto_o eliu_o for_o the_o great_a confirmation_n of_o it_o say_v that_o god_n will_v not_o condemn_v for_o nought_o nor_o overthrow_v the_o

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 do_v it_o because_o he_o know_v what_o be_v meet_v for_o they_o so_o then_o let_v we_o practice_v well_o this_o lesson_n of_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n whensoever_o he_o chastize_v we_o let_v we_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v that_o we_o reply_v not_o against_o he_o and_o there_o withal_o let_v we_o be_v meek_a and_o let_v not_o hypocrisy_n blind_v we_o to_o soothe_v ourselves_o in_o our_o misdo_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n how_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o condemn_v ourselves_o and_o thereupon_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o punish_v we_o and_o that_o he_o overthrow_v not_o the_o right_a that_o be_v in_o we_o so_o as_o if_o we_o have_v a_o good_a case_n he_o will_v maintain_v it_o himself_o and_o we_o shall_v need_v neither_o proctor_n nor_o advocate_n for_o he_o himself_o will_v be_v our_o warrant_n as_o who_o desire_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o to_o quit_v we_o so_o then_o if_o we_o be_v condemn_v by_o he_o we_o must_v pass_v that_o

in_o respect_n of_o his_o own_o person_n to_o have_v this_o lesson_n well_o print_v in_o his_o mind_n and_o special_o when_o we_o be_v beat_v with_o god_n scourge_n so_o as_o one_o of_o we_o be_v

here_o but_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o this_o reason_n be_v not_o fit_v to_o maintain_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n for_o his_o mightiness_n be_v not_o in_o question_n here_o and_o beside_o that_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o sometime_o under_o the_o colour_n that_o god_n be_v almighty_a man_n will_v accuse_v he_o of_o tyranny_n as_o though_o he_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o our_o

torment_v his_o servant_n yet_o it_o seem_v that_o he_o pass_v not_o for_o it_o nor_o have_v any_o regard_n of_o they_o but_o contrariwise_o eliu_n intend_v to_o show_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a and_o how_o show_v he_o it_o for_o he_o only_o say_v he_o govern_v the_o world_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o when_o all_o be_v well_o consider_v it_o be_v a_o peremptory_a reason_n as_o they_o term_v it_o and_o sufficient_a enough_o to_o stop_v all_o our_o mouth_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o he_o mean_v by_o this_o which_o he_o add_v immediate_o after_o namely_o shall_v he_o which_o be_v unrighteous_a govern_v true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o world_n the_o wicked_a shall_v sometime_o govern_v and_o why_o for_o behold_v king_n which_o

where_o governor_n be_v ordain_v by_o election_n and_o voice_n of_o the_o people_n not_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n nor_o in_o reverence_n as_o though_o they_o mean_v to_o ordain_v officer_n that_o shall_v reign_v with_o justice_n but_o with_o flock_v into_o tavern_n &_o there_o they_o commit_v the_o shameful_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v then_o see_v that_o king_n and_o their_o officer_n &_o magistrate_n that_o go_v by_o election_n come_v to_o their_o degree_n by_o so_o devilish_a mean_n the_o wicked_a must_v needs_o reign_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o god_n and_o why_o because_o

have_v the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n by_o nature_n insomuch_o that_o the_o immortal_a be_v of_o god_n and_o his_o authority_n of_o govern_v be_v thing_n inseparable_a and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o xviij_o chap_n of_o gen._n by_o abraham_n for_o there_o abraham_n reason_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v do_v any_o cruelty_n or_o outrage_n can_v he_o that_o be_v judge_v of_o the_o world_n say_v abraham_n destroy_v the_o good_a with_o the_o wicked_a now_o when_o abraham_n say_v so_o he_o mean_v not_o to_o counsel_n god_n to_o bethink_v himself_o as_o one_o of_o we_o may_v counsel_v a_o mortal_a man_n as_o moses_n speak_v to_o the_o judge_n and_o likewise_o josaphat_n say_v bethink_v your_o self_n for_o you_o sit_v not_o in_o the_o seat_n of_o a_o creature_n but_o the_o live_a god_n have_v call_v you_o into_o this_o throne_n &_o whosoever_o sit_v there_o must_v not_o reign_v as_o a_o man_n but_o as_o the_o lieutenant_n of_o god_n so_o they_o we_o may_v well_o admonish_v earthly_a judge_n of_o their_o office_n and_o why_o for_o they_o may_v err_v yea_o &_o we_o see_v that_o man_n do_v more_o common_o swerve_v aside_o unto_o evil_a than_o hold_v themselves_o unto_o good_a and_o that_o be_v both_o because_o they_o be_v whole_o give_v unto_o evil_n and_o also_o because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o virtue_n and_o steadfastness_n in_o most_o of_o they_o as_o aught_o to_o be_v but_o though_o there_o be_v a_o good_a will_n yet_o be_v there_o no_o such_o zealous_a endeavour_n as_o be_v requisite_a thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o earthly_a judge_n have_v need_v to_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o their_o duty_n for_o why_o they_o discharge_v not_o themselves_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o when_o abraham_n allege_v unto_o god_n that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n to_o condemn_v the_o good_a with_o the_o wicked_a he_o say_v it_o to_o a_o other_o end_n namely_o to_o show_v that_o god_n can_v transform_v himself_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v always_o righteous_a as_o well_o as_o he_o be_v god_n then_o be_v there_o nothing_o more_o peculiar_a unto_o god_n than_o equity_n and_o if_o we_o accuse_v god_n of_o unrighteousness_n it_o be_v asmuch_o as_o we_o will_v make_v he_o not_o to_o be_v at_o all_o and_o why_o for_o he_o be_v not_o god_n to_o be_v a_o idol_n or_o to_o be_v a_o dead_a and_o idle_a thing_n but_o he_o be_v god_n to_o govern_v the_o world_n he_o have_v his_o sovereign_a majesty_n in_o such_o wise_a in_o himself_o as_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o judge_n &_o be_v a_o judge_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o upright_o as_o there_o may_v be_v nothing_o amiss_o in_o he_o according_a hereunto_o eliu_n say_v now_o that_o all_o thing_n which_o he_o govern_v must_v needs_o be_v do_v right_o and_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o unrighteousness_n in_o he_o and_o why_o because_o he_o have_v create_v the_o world_n and_o maintain_v it_o under_o his_o protection_n and_o guide_n thus_o have_v we_o the_o true_a understanding_n of_o this_o text_n and_o now_o remain_v to_o gather_v the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o our_o instruction_n and_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n have_v not_o create_v the_o world_n to_o leave_v thing_n to_o havoc_n that_o fortune_n as_o they_o term_v it_o may_v govern_v all_o but_o he_o intend_v the_o maintain_v of_o his_o creature_n as_o he_o do_v therefore_o when_o we_o call_v god_n the_o maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n we_o must_v not_o restrain_v it_o to_o one_o instant_a but_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o like_a as_o god_n have_v frame_v the_o world_n so_o all_o power_n be_v still_o in_o he_o and_o he_o dispose_v thing_n here_o beneath_o so_o as_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o &_o the_o hear_v of_o our_o head_n be_v number_v yea_o and_o he_o guide_v our_o footstep_n so_o as_o nothing_o come_v to_o pass_v which_o be_v not_o fore-appointed_n by_o his_o providence_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o beside_o he_o there_o be_v none_o set_v over_o the_o world_n nor_o none_o set_v over_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o be_v to_o betoken_v that_o his_o create_v of_o the_o world_n and_o his_o govern_n of_o it_o be_v thing_n that_o go_v joint_o together_o then_o if_o we_o imagine_v that_o god_n govern_v not_o all_o thing_n but_o that_o some_o thing_n happen_v by_o chance_n or_o fortune_n it_o follow_v that_o fortune_n be_v a_o goddess_n that_o have_v create_v part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o be_v not_o all_o praise_n due_a to_o god_n alone_o but_o behold_v it_o be_v a_o curse_a blasphemy_n if_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o the_o devil_n can_v do_v any_o thing_n without_o god_n leave_n for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o shall_v make_v the_o devil_n a_o particreator_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o there_o be_v a_o inseparable_a bond_n between_o these_o two_o thing_n namely_o that_o god_n create_v all_o thing_n and_o that_o he_o govern_v all_o thing_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o god_n have_v build_v the_o world_n and_o do_v we_o then_o think_v that_o he_o now_o call_v a_o companion_n to_o help_v he_o to_o order_v his_o creature_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n do_v use_v inferior_a mean_n to_o govern_v the_o world_n howbeit_o that_o be_v not_o to_o diminish_v his_o own_o authority_n or_o for_o that_o he_o will_v have_v any_o companion_n for_o he_o reign_v continual_o from_o above_o what_o else_o be_v the_o great_a king_n but_o only_o god_n hand_n and_o he_o serve_v his_o turn_n by_o they_o as_o he_o think_v good_a according_a as_o he_o by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n upbraid_v the_o proud_a sennacherib_n who_o think_v himself_o too_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o own_o cunning_a yea_o say_v god_n what_o be_v thou_o else_o but_o the_o axe_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o that_o hew_v if_o a_o man_n hold_v a_o saw_n or_o a_o knife_n to_o cut_v withal_o and_o too_o serve_v his_o turn_n at_o his_o pleasure_n can_v the_o tool_n turn_v itself_o against_o the_o man_n no_o but_o it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o a_o man_n have_v not_o only_o his_o hand_n and_o arm_n to_o help_v himself_o withal_o but_o also_o that_o he_o have_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v without_o he_o at_o his_o commandment_n be_v there_o any_o power_n in_o mortal_a creature_n but_o from_o the_o live_a god_n do_v they_o not_o hold_v all_o of_o he_o then_o be_v we_o nothing_o if_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o he_o for_o it_o be_v he_o in_o who_o we_o have_v our_o life_n move_v and_o be_v therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o when_o god_n use_v worldly_a mean_n and_o serve_v his_o turn_n by_o man_n as_o by_o instrument_n that_o be_v not_o to_o lessen_v or_o to_o strengthen_v his_o own_o authority_n but_o contrariwise_o to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v the_o guide_n of_o they_o and_o that_o if_o he_o do_v but_o command_v or_o whistle_v as_o he_o himself_o say_v man_n must_v needs_o go_v forward_o to_o execute_v his_o will_n yea_o and_o the_o very_a devil_n of_o hell_n be_v compel_v unto_o it_o and_o although_o they_o be_v unwilling_a and_o that_o it_o be_v utter_o against_o their_o intent_n yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n drive_v they_o by_o violent_a power_n to_o execute_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v ordain_v in_o his_o providence_n and_o so_o we_o see_v now_o after_o what_o sort_n we_o must_v consider_v god_n providence_n namely_o that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o watch_v over_o all_o his_o creature_n not_o only_o to_o foresee_v what_o may_v happen_v as_o some_o fantastical_a person_n imagine_v that_o god_n behold_v the_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v aloof_o which_o be_v here_o beneath_o &_o then_o provide_v for_o they_o afterward_o but_o also_o which_o much_o more_o be_v that_o nothing_o may_v be_v do_v which_o he_o have_v not_o determine_v so_o as_o his_o will_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o thing_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o be_v show_v we_o in_o this_o
and_o to_o have_v print_v therein_o some_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n but_o he_o have_v also_o give_v we_o his_o word_n and_o will_v have_v it_o publish_v unto_o we_o daily_o there_o he_o show_v we_o his_o will_n familiar_o and_o it_o be_v the_o way_n as_o moses_n protest_v we_o can_v not_o stray_v we_o have_v no_o excuse_n of_o ignorance_n but_o behold_v there_o be_v our_o rest_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n therefore_o see_v our_o way_n be_v lay_v afore_o we_o and_o we_o know_v which_o way_n to_o take_v if_o yet_o notwithstanding_o every_o man_n start_v aside_o and_o take_v leave_v to_o do_v evil_a and_o to_o wander_v in_o his_o own_o affection_n and_o lust_n be_v we_o not_o much_o more_o worthy_a of_o blame_n than_o those_o that_o never_o hear_v one_o word_n of_o good_a instruction_n then_o if_o the_o heathen_a man_n be_v here_o call_v backslider_n because_o they_o be_v turn_v away_o from_o god_n what_o be_v we_o see_v that_o our_o god_n come_v so_o near_o unto_o we_o as_o to_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o schoolmaster_n and_o teacher_n among_o we_o and_o to_o entertain_v we_o in_o his_o school_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v learn_v at_o his_o hand_n in_o the_o person_n of_o those_o who_o he_o appoint_v to_o preach_v his_o word_n in_o his_o name_n therefore_o if_o we_o make_v no_o account_n of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v give_v we_o must_v we_o not_o be_v condemn_v as_o double_a renegate_n or_o backslyder_n yes_o sure_o then_o let_v every_o of_o we_o look_v near_o to_o himself_o and_o consider_v of_o what_o value_n and_o estimation_n this_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v when_o he_o have_v as_o it_o be_v his_o own_o mouth_n open_a to_o warrant_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o convenient_a for_o our_o

lecture_n beside_o if_o all_o this_o will_v not_o hold_v we_o in_o awe_n and_o make_v we_o to_o stick_v thorough_o to_o our_o god_n and_o to_o endeavour_n to_o serve_v he_o needs_o must_v his_o hand_n

and_o that_o we_o be_v cleeresighted_a and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o we_o have_v a_o freedom_n to_o do_v good_a or_o evil_n but_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o beastliness_n too_o reason_n after_o

therefore_o we_o be_v enemy_n unto_o god_n and_o all_o our_o thought_n and_o imagination_n be_v enmity_n too_o his_o righteousness_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v in_o the_o eight_o to_o

of_o prince_n and_o of_o man_n that_o sit_v in_o the_o seat_n of_o justice_n wherein_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v thing_n to_o be_v out_o of_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 discern_v it_o to_o be_v a_o miracle_n of_o god_n that_o there_o be_v any_o common_a weal_n amongst_o we_o yea_o and_o we_o must_v needs_o know_v it_o and_o perceive_v it_o i_o say_v that_o the_o

see_v that_o god_n do_v not_o only_o bridle_v but_o also_o fetter_v man_n nature_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o say_a pride_n advance_v not_o itself_o so_o high_a but_o that_o public_a government_n shall_v be_v above_o it_o and_o again_o we_o see_v that_o all_o man_n be_v give_v too_o evil_a and_o their_o juste_n be_v so_o boil_v that_o every_o man_n will_v have_v liberty_n to_o do_v as_o he_o

the_o cause_n that_o move_v god_n to_o do_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o think_v strange_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o seem_v clean_o contrary_a to_o all_o reason_n that_o a_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v so_o persecute_v and_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v overrun_v he_o howbeit_o god_n know_v why_o he_o do_v it_o therefore_o we_o must_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o end_n &_o not_o be_v to_o

to_o make_v we_o to_o perceive_v our_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a point_n whereof_o we_o may_v gather_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o hear_v it_o oftentimes_o speak_v of_o nevertheless_o we_o can_v hear_v of_o it_o to_o much_o for_o we_o know_v that_o affliction_n be_v so_o irksome_a to_o we_o that_o every_o of_o we_o fall_v to_o chafe_v as_o

when_o god_n let_v we_o alone_o in_o peace_n although_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o a_o thousand_o way_n yet_o we_o cease_v not_o too_o soothe_v ourselves_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o we_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n &_o that_o he_o love_v we_o because_o he_o scourge_v we_o not_o you_o see_v then_o that_o man_n can_v perceive_v their_o own_o sin_n if_o they_o be_v not_o drive_v by_o force_n to_o know_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o see_v that_o prosperity_n make_v we_o drunken_a after_o that_o sort_n and_o that_o when_o we_o be_v at_o rest_n every_o man_n flatter_v himself_o in_o his_o sin_n it_o stand_v we_o upon_o too_o suffer_v god_n patient_o too_o scourge_v we_o for_o affliction_n be_v the_o true_a schoolmistress_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o repentance_n to_o the_o

the_o chastizement_n that_o god_n send_v we_o we_o will_v bear_v they_o with_o a_o meelder_n and_o quiet_a mind_n than_o we_o do_v but_o it_o be_v a_o piteous_a case_n too_o see_v how_o reckless_a

too_o glorify_v he_o in_o the_o same_o and_o although_o it_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v such_o a_o evil_a in_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n yet_o do_v god_n esteem_v it_o as_o a_o most_o heinous_a

both_o these_o translation_n tend_v to_o one_o end_n which_o be_v that_o job_n bear_v not_o his_o case_n peaceable_o with_o humble_v of_o himself_o but_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o god_n in_o

notwithstanding_o that_o be_v no_o let_v but_o that_o he_o have_v imperfection_n in_o he_o and_o do_v amiss_o in_o some_o respect_n now_o if_o job_n have_v endeavour_v himself_o to_o be_v quiet_a that_o he_o may_v glorify_v god_n and_o know_v and_o publish_v his_o mighty_a power_n be_v blame_v nevertheless_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o if_o we_o make_v comparison_n between_o the_o patientness_n that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o the_o hartburning_n and_o repine_n that_o be_v in_o we_o we_o be_v so_o coy_a that_o if_o god_n do_v but_o tick_n we_o with_o his_o little_a

virtue_n of_o job_n do_v we_o not_o deserve_v to_o be_v a_o hundred_o time_n more_o condemn_v than_o he_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v first_o of_o all_o that_o although_o affliction_n be_v send_v we_o to_o tame_v we_o withal_o yet_o do_v it_o stir_v we_o to_o rebel_a against_o god_n not_o of_o it_o own_o nature_n but_o because_o of_o our_o sinfulness_n when_o god_n chastize_v we_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o deal_v the_o better_a with_o we_o according_a as_o he_o show_v we_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o in_o condemn_v they_o we_o shall_v flee_v to_o he_o for_o

see_v to_o what_o end_n god_n chastize_v we_o but_o we_o turn_v our_o affliction_n to_o the_o contrary_a for_o in_o stead_n of_o stoop_v under_o god_n hand_n we_o do_v nothing_o but_o fret_v and_o

of_o it_o with_o the_o variety_n of_o change_n as_o for_o example_n peradventure_o god_n too_o chastise_v we_o send_v some_o dearth_n now_o the_o dearth_n come_v of_o some_o one_o of_o the_o cause_n

be_v it_o the_o rain_n that_o bethink_v itself_o too_o correct_v our_o fault_n man_n may_v allege_v we_o natural_a reason_n and_o say_v that_o the_o rain_n the_o wind_n and_o the_o storm_n be_v

after_o that_o fashion_n with_o we_o and_o consider_v our_o stubborness_n and_o untowardness_n to_o be_v handle_v he_o be_v constrain_v to_o use_v roughness_n at_o leastwise_o yet_o let_v we_o then_o

tell_v we_o and_o the_o doctrine_n be_v chaw_v and_o put_v into_o our_o mouth_n we_o see_v then_o that_o god_n pity_v we_o when_o he_o appoint_v man_n to_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o his_o word_n and_o to_o teach_v we_o in_o his_o name_n &_o authority_n for_o he_o know_v our_o ability_n and_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v feeble_a we_o shall_v out_o of_o hand_n be_v swallow_v up_o of_o

to_o be_v teach_v by_o his_o word_n sith_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o our_o capacity_n and_o that_o therein_o god_n have_v not_o overslip_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a and_o profitable_a for_o our_o salvation_n see_v then_o that_o our_o good_a god_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o stoop_v down_o in_o that_o wise_a unto_o we_o and_o yet_o therewithal_o advance_v himself_o to_o frame_v we_o to_o his_o obedience_n let_v we_o be_v the_o willing_a to_o hear_v he_o when_o he_o speak_v and_o let_v we_o no_o more_o make_v this_o fond_a excuse_n that_o god_n word_n be_v to_o high_a and_o dark_a for_o we_o or_o that_o it_o be_v to_o terrible_a or_o that_o it_o be_v too_o simple_a for_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v well_o cast_v up_o our_o account_n we_o shall_v find_v for_o a_o certainty_n that_o our_o lord_n set_v we_o forth_o such_o a_o majesty_n in_o his_o word_n as_o be_v able_a to_o make_v all_o creature_n to_o quake_v and_o yet_o be_v there_o also_o a_o simplicity_n to_o the_o

thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o the_o first_o strain_v be_v that_o god_n speak_v too_o we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n be_v to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v come_v the_o more_o free_o too_o he_o receive_v the_o thing_n with_o better_a leisure_n which_o he_o on_o his_o behalf_n tell_v we_o and_o not_o be_v astonish_v out_o of_o measure_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v dull_a upon_o the_o spur_n and_o yield_v he_o not_o the_o honour_n which_o he_o deserve_v he_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v he_o as_o he_o be_v and_o exalt_v himself_o in_o his_o majesty_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o same_o shall_v bring_v we_o to_o do_v he_o honour_n and_o it_o be_v purposely_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o job_n out_o of_o a_o whirlwind_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o he_o to_o have_v give_v some_o token_n of_o his_o presence_n but_o he_o do_v also_o raise_v as_o it_o be_v a_o vehement_a tempest_n we_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o sometime_o god_n raise_v thunder_n after_o the_o same_o sort_n when_o he_o list_v too_o speak_v to_o his_o faithful_a one_o but_o we_o have_v special_o to_o mark_v here_o the_o

and_o raise_v this_o whirlwind_n be_v that_o job_n shall_v know_v with_o what_o a_o lord_n he_o have_v to_o deal_v in_o general_n it_o be_v common_o say_v that_o god_n dwell_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o dark_a cloud_n or_o rather_o that_o he_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o light_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o can_v come_v at_o he_o insomuch_o that_o if_o we_o will_v look_v upon_o god_n our_o sense_n dazzle_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o thick_a darkness_n between_o he_o and_o we_o this_o then_o be_v very_o well_o speak_v in_o general_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o be_v over_o inquisitive_a of_o his_o incomprehensible_a determination_n but_o taste_v so_o far_o of_o they_o as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o discover_v they_o unto_o we_o and_o therewithal_o consider_v that_o all_o our_o sense_n fail_v we_o if_o he_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o come_v to_o we_o or_o else_o to_o lift_v we_o up_o to_o he_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o that_o for_o another_o respect_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n because_o of_o our_o sturdiness_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o show_v himself_o terrible_a to_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v fain_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o by_o gentleness_n and_o we_o see_v that_o when_o man_n be_v well_o dispose_v to_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o he_o he_o use_v the_o say_v love_a manner_n of_o invite_v they_o unto_o he_o as_o gentle_o as_o may_v be_v but_o when_o he_o perceive_v any_o sturdiness_n he_o must_v needs_o first_o of_o all_o make_v we_o to_o stoop_v for_o otherwise_o what_o shall_v he_o win_v by_o speak_v too_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o in_o publish_v his_o law_n he_o raze_v thunder_n blue_a trumpet_n in_o the_o air_n and_o make_v all_o to_o shake_v insomuch_o that_o the_o people_n be_v so_o afraid_a as_o they_o say_v let_v not_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o we_o for_o then_o be_v we_o but_o dead_a we_o be_v utter_o undo_v why_o do_v god_n shake_v the_o earth_n after_o that_o

contrariwise_o say_v that_o he_o give_v not_o his_o law_n in_o vain_a but_o that_o he_o mean_v to_o give_v the_o people_n a_o certain_a rule_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v know_v the_o way_n of_o life_n so_o then_o his_o raise_n of_o whirlwind_n and_o tempest_n in_o the_o air_n be_v not_o too_o scare_v we_o that_o say_v i_o be_v no_o part_n of_o his_o meaning_n but_o it_o serve_v for_o a_o

out_o of_o the_o proud_a and_o wicked_a sort_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o must_v hold_v themselves_o quiet_a till_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v the_o proud_a sort_n

gather_v the_o more_o boldness_n to_o attempt_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o under_o colour_n that_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o and_o wink_v at_o we_o and_o why_o for_o in_o the_o end_n he_o will_v look_v upon_o we_o and_o then_o shall_v our_o fault_n be_v bewray_v to_o our_o great_a confusion_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o although_o man_n perceive_v not_o god_n judgement_n in_o eyesight_n day_n by_o day_n yet_o must_v they_o not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o walk_v in_o fear_n and_o carefulness_n but_o the_o rather_o be_v bridle_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o herein_o also_o do_v our_o faith_n show_v itself_o namely_o if_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o adversity_n we_o can_v fasten_v our_o eye_n upon_o god_n gracious_a promise_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o the_o state_n of_o the_o wicked_a seem_v to_o be_v better_a than_o the_o state_n of_o the_o godly_a let_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o hope_v continual_o for_o the_o everlasting_a life_n although_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v see_v why_o so_o because_o god_n have_v promise_v it_o and_o whatsoever_o come_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n can_v be_v deceivable_a you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n we_o

one_o only_a look_n can_v we_o rid_v the_o earth_n of_o all_o proud_a folk_n as_o god_n can_v do_v when_o he_o think_v good_a alas_o what_o be_v we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o give_v glory_n to_o he_o which_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o world_n which_o have_v all_o power_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o which_o use_v such_o order_n and_o uprightness_n in_o it_o as_o no_o

may_v be_v glorify_v so_o much_o the_o more_o at_o our_o hand_n again_o we_o see_v yesterday_o what_o be_v discourse_v concern_v the_o elephant_n which_o be_v a_o terrible_a huge_a beast_n and_o enough_o too_o scare_v we_o out_o of_o our_o wit_n now_o than_o if_o we_o tremble_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o beast_n shall_v we_o play_v the_o bold_a fellow_n against_o god_n to_o contend_v with_o he_o when_o he_o chastize_v we_o and_o to_o stomach_n the_o matter_n when_o he_o intend_v to_o humble_v we_o shall_v we_o be_v such_o fool_n as_o to_o murmur_v at_o his_o justice_n or_o to_o gainsay_v

then_o that_o his_o intent_n be_v too_o show_v we_o god_n mighty_a power_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o be_v see_v and_o not_o to_o describe_v the_o devil_n too_o we_o as_o touch_v the_o word_n leviathan_n through_o the_o whole_a scripture_n it_o signify_v a_o whale_n and_o we_o see_v it_o too_o be_v so_o in_o the_o hundred_o and_o four_o psalm_n where_o the_o hebrew_n word_n

than_o upon_o the_o land_n there_o be_v one_o peremptory_a reason_n too_o show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v take_v this_o text_n simple_o as_o it_o stand_v and_o not_o shift_o for_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o how_o it_o be_v god_n intent_n to_o teach_v man_n after_o a_o gross_a and_o homely_a manner_n according_a to_o their_o own_o small_a capacity_n and_o that_o his_o do_v thereof_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o his_o mighty_a power_n shall_v be_v the_o better_o prove_v unto_o they_o moreover_o he_o mean_v also_o to_o upbraid_v they_o with_o their_o folly_n in_o that_o they_o dare_v set_v themselves_o against_o he_o forsomuch_o as_o the_o very_a beast_n be_v able_a to_o reprove_v they_o wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o here_o god_n give_v man_n a_o lesson_n thereby_o too_o scorn_v their_o pride_n in_o send_v they_o to_o the_o brute_n beast_n but_o this_o can_v take_v no_o place_n if_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o whereas_o his_o will_n be_v that_o the_o whale_n shall_v he_o the_o king_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o pride_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o the_o beast_n have_v any_o such_o affection_n but_o rather_o it_o be_v say_v too_o compare_v man_n with_o the_o whale_n as_o if_o our_o lord_n shall_v say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n will_v lift_v up_o their_o sheeld_v very_o high_a and_o fetch_v leap_v above_o the_o cloud_n but_o when_o they_o have_v gather_v all_o the_o force_n they_o can_v and_o presume_v to_o the_o uttermost_a what_o be_v it_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o whale_n when_o a_o man_n have_v vaunt_a himself_o to_o the_o uttermost_a let_v he_o but_o come_v to_o encounter_v with_o a_o whale_n and_o the_o whale_n shall_v have_v more_o cause_n to_o vaunt_v himself_o than_o he_o for_o if_o a_o man_n compare_v he_o with_o a_o house_n or_o a_o tower_n if_o a_o man_n compare_v he_o with_o artillery_n or_o if_o a_o man_n compare_v he_o with_o a_o mountain_n he_o shall_v find_v all_o these_o quality_n in_o he_o yea_o he_o shall_v find_v such_o terrible_a force_n in_o he_o as_o be_v able_a too_o turn_v up_o ship_n upside_o down_o and_o where_o be_v the_o man_n that_o can_v approach_v unto_o such_o strength_n we_o see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v show_v express_o that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v overcome_v by_o the_o whale_n and_o that_o therefore_o our_o pride_n be_v to_o fond_a and_o special_o that_o when_o we_o become_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o against_o he_o and_o too_o go_v about_o to_o pluck_v from_o he_o the_o thing_n that_o belong_v too_o he_o and_o to_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o righteousness_n in_o so_o do_v we_o must_v needs_o be_v put_v to_o shame_n yea_o even_o without_o god_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o without_o any_o show_n of_o his_o majesty_n for_o the_o very_a beast_n be_v enough_o to_o maintain_v his_o honour_n nevertheless_o true_o by_o convey_v the_o discourse_n from_o the_o one_o too_o the_o other_o a_o man_n may_v well_o use_v this_o similitude_n of_o the_o whale_n and_o the_o elephant_n to_o make_v man_n perceive_v how_o great_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n ought_v to_o fray_v we_o see_v he_o be_v term_v the_o prince_n of_o the_o air_n and_o of_o the_o world_n not_o without_o cause_n do_v god_n give_v he_o that_o title_n for_o it_o be_v to_o the_o intent_n that_o see_v we_o be_v so_o weak_a of_o ourselves_o and_o have_v so_o mighty_a and_o strong_a a_o enemy_n we_o shall_v walk_v in_o fear_n therefore_o we_o may_v well_o from_o the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o take_v a_o good_a warning_n that_o if_o we_o will_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o god_n we_o must_v be_v bondslave_n to_o satan_n and_o he_o shall_v overmaster_v we_o well_o enough_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o strength_n to_o withstand_v he_o as_o for_o example_n whereas_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v speak_v of_o moses_n treat_v not_o of_o the_o angel_n for_o he_o mean_v to_o be_v a_o teacher_n to_o the_o little_a and_o unlerned_a one_o and_o therefore_o he_o set_v down_o but_o only_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v with_o our_o eye_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o the_o present_a light_n which_o be_v perceive_v must_v lead_v we_o

thing_n that_o concern_v the_o heavenly_a life_n you_o see_v then_o that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a conveyance_n when_o we_o go_v so_o by_o degree_n from_o the_o least_o thing_n to_o the_o great_a and_o from_o the_o low_a to_o the_o high_a but_o yet_o howsoever_o we_o deal_v we_o must_v hold_v we_o still_o to_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o text_n for_o it_o be_v a_o evil_a thing_n too_o dally_v with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n by_o transform_v of_o it_o into_o allegory_n neither_o ought_v allegory_n too_o be_v draw_v but_o out_o of_o a_o natural_a meaning_n as_o we_o see_v that_o saint_n

and_o after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o many_o other_o sort_n of_o beast_n here_o he_o set_v the_o elephant_n before_o we_o which_o be_v so_o terrible_a as_o they_o must_v needs_o amaze_v we_o for_o in_o the_o huge_a bigness_n of_o their_o body_n we_o behold_v miracle_n without_o number_n we_o see_v on_o the_o one_o side_n how_o they_o surmount_v we_o and_o we_o see_v on_o the_o other_o side_n

then_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n have_v print_v some_o mark_n of_o his_o power_n in_o whale_n and_o other_o great_a beast_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n shall_v know_v how_o

too_o we_o howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v hard_o for_o man_n to_o hold_v themselves_o quiet_a when_o they_o he_o be_v that_o doctrine_n according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o these_o dog_n bark_v

after_o that_o manner_n and_o we_o know_v his_o meaning_n in_o the_o case_n of_o god_n
heretofore_o for_o he_o worship_v god_n in_o his_o soverein_o dominion_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v guide_v by_o he_o &_o that_o it_o be_v his_o office_n to_o

handle_v they_o as_o they_o be_v worthy_a it_o will_v be_v a_o terrible_a deal_n too_o they_o and_o therefore_o that_o when_o job_n come_v as_o a_o mean_a betwixt_o they_o with_o his_o prayer_n than_o
