excellent_a creature_n that_o be_v how_o much_o less_o between_o god_n and_o between_o a_o man_n a_o sinner_n as_o abraham_n be_v who_o acknowledge_v himself_o to_o be_v nought_o but_o dust_n and_o ash_n who_o light_n be_v nought_o but_o darkness_n who_o righteovinesse_n be_v as_o filthy_a rag_n who_o strength_n be_v as_o smoke_n that_o vanish_v away_o if_o god_n find_v no_o steadfastness_n in_o his_o angel_n how_o much_o less_o in_o they_o that_o dwell_v in_o house_n of_o clay_n who_o foundation_n be_v in_o the_o dust_n which_o be_v crush_v before_o the_o moth_n such_o as_o be_v the_o splendour_n of_o herod_n robe_n when_o he_o be_v eat_v of_o worm_n and_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o sun_n such_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o man_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o that_o small_a lustre_n which_o he_o have_v in_o this_o world_n be_v accompany_v with_o thousand_o of_o brier_n and_o incommodity_n like_o a_o gloeworme_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o bush_n what_o think_v you_o be_v the_o high_a heaven_n before_o god_n it_o be_v as_o a_o point_n in_o his_o presence_n and_o what_o be_v the_o earth_n in_o regard_n of_o heaven_n but_o as_o a_o point_n in_o comparison_n and_o what_o be_v a_o man_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n but_o as_o a_o pismire_n wander_v in_o a_o large_a country_n as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n chapter_n 40._o speak_v behold_v the_o nation_n be_v as_o a_o drop_n of_o a_o bueket_n and_o be_v count_v as_o the_o small_a dust_n of_o the_o balance_n and_o be_v as_o nothing_o before_o he_o and_o therefore_o abraham_n say_v behold_v i_o have_v take_v upon_o i_o to_o speak_v unto_o the_o lord_n which_o be_o but_o dust_n and_o ash_n it_o be_v also_o the_o end_n for_o the_o which_o god_n have_v create_v man_n of_o the_o dust_n to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o he_o shall_v happen_v to_o glory_n of_o the_o light_n of_o his_o understanding_n he_o shall_v be_v present_o abase_v and_o abate_v by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o birth_n and_o beginning_n of_o his_o body_n and_o by_o the_o feel_n of_o his_o infirmity_n and_o to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v use_v and_o employ_v this_o reason_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n who_o lift_v the_o poor_a from_o the_o dust_n and_o pour_v his_o treasure_n into_o earthen_a vessel_n that_o he_o will_v not_o contest_v against_o dust_n nor_o enter_v into_o a_o account_n with_o ash_n that_o he_o will_v let_v it_o dissolve_v by_o nature_n without_o dissolve_v it_o before_o his_o time_n by_o the_o violence_n of_o his_o wrath_n this_o be_v the_o consideration_n which_o david_n bring_v in_o the_o 103._o psalm_n to_o move_v god_n to_o clemency_n and_o compassion_n like_a as_o a_o father_n pity_v his_o child_n so_o the_o lord_n pity_v they_o that_o fear_v he_o for_o he_o know_v our_o frame_n he_o remember_v that_o we_o be_v dust_n before_o who_o we_o can_v present_v ourselves_o but_o our_o hair_n must_v stare_v our_o blood_n must_v freeze_v within_o we_o and_o all_o the_o pride_n we_o have_v in_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v abate_v by_o fear_n all_o these_o consideration_n may_v make_v this_o private_a familiarity_n of_o abraham_n with_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v excessive_a as_o intend_v to_o control_v the_o action_n of_o god_n and_o his_o cunning_n with_o small_a respect_n to_o insinuate_v himself_o little_a by_o little_a and_o obtain_v by_o piece_n that_o which_o he_o dare_v not_o demand_v all_o at_o once_o notwithstanding_o in_o that_o god_n hear_v he_o willing_o and_o accept_v his_o demand_n hinder_v we_o to_o presume_v of_o any_o evil_n in_o such_o a_o holy_a and_o excellent_a servant_n of_o god_n to_o resolve_v you_o of_o this_o point_n you_o must_v know_v that_o in_o a_o great_a similitude_n of_o word_n there_o be_v often_o a_o great_a dissimilitude_n of_o sense_n and_o intention_n two_o person_n sometime_o will_v use_v the_o same_o word_n and_o make_v the_o same_o sign_n but_o to_o diverse_a end_n and_o with_o different_a intention_n as_o in_o the_o 17._o chapter_n of_o genesis_n abraham_n laugh_v at_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n make_v he_o touch_v a_o son_n this_o laughter_n in_o he_o be_v not_o

perceive_v therein_o her_o distrust_n as_o if_o the_o thing_n be_v impossible_a zacharie_n the_o father_n of_o john_n baptist_n and_o the_o virgin_n mary_n do_v answer_v the_o angel_n in_o word_n

answer_n of_o god_n to_o his_o demand_n do_v exempt_v he_o from_o the_o crime_n of_o temerity_n let_v we_o not_o impute_v to_o subtlety_n this_o kind_n of_o insinuate_a himself_o so_o by_o degree_n
