of_o god_n if_o we_o endeavour_n not_o by_o all_o the_o mean_n we_o can_v that_o other_o may_v do_v the_o like_a and_o so_o we_o see_v here_o how_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a first_o that_o every_o man_n look_v too_o himself_o and_o though_o all_o the_o world_n be_v mad_a in_o do_v evil_a yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o which_o be_v teach_v in_o god_n school_n do_v

must_v not_o only_o be_v do_v in_o every_o town_n and_o village_n but_o also_o we_o must_v look_v yet_o further_o of_o and_o consider_v that_o they_o who_o we_o know_v not_o be_v neverthelater_o of_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v serve_v they_o for_o look_v glass_n and_o example_n and_o confirm_v they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o too_o lead_v a_o

when_o other_o folk_n march_v on_o so_o fast_o afore_o and_o run_v so_o cheerful_o toward_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v away_o here_o be_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v not_o call_v we_o eft_o one_o man_n alone_o and_o eft_o another_o as_o though_o he_o mean_v too_o set_v we_o a_o sunder_o but_o direct_v his_o voice_n too_o

our_o own_o brain_n be_v all_o of_o it_o stark_o naughtiness_n and_o rebellion_n against_o god_n â–ª_o so_o then_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o great_a vehemency_n shall_v be_v use_v in_o this_o

in_o a_o thousand_o generation_n too_o such_o as_o love_v i_o and_o keep_v my_o commandment_n here_o be_v a_o much_o large_a promise_n than_o that_o whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o this_o text_n and_o how_o then_o do_v saint_n paul_n say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o first_o commandment_n with_o promise_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a for_o god_n promise_v of_o mercy_n too_o a_o thousand_o generation_n in_o the_o first_o table_n be_v not_o a_o restraint_n of_o it_o too_o that_o only_a commandment_n but_o a_o extend_v of_o it_o to_o the_o whole_a law_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v

but_o they_o shall_v find_v continual_o that_o i_o be_o a_o merciful_a god_n herein_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o our_o lord_n intent_n be_v too_o draw_v we_o too_o the_o obey_n of_o his_o commandment_n and_o ordinance_n with_o a_o willing_a mind_n and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o special_a promise_n proper_a too_o any_o one_o commandment_n alone_o but_o the_o promise_n that_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o here_o where_o it_o be_v say_v honour_v thy_o father_n and_o mother_n that_o thou_o may_v live_v long_o upon_o the_o earth_n be_v peculiar_a too_o that_o commandment_n alone_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v god_n be_v so_o gracious_a that_o he_o will_v cause_v they_o too_o prosper_v through_o his_o blessing_n and_o favour_n which_o behave_v themselves_o humble_o and_o meek_o and_o yield_v due_a

promise_n as_o be_v special_a and_o have_v respect_n too_o none_o other_o commandment_n than_o that_o now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o the_o promise_n god_n say_v that_o such_o as_o obey_v so_o shall_v live_v long_o hereupon_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o this_o present_a life_n be_v not_o too_o be_v despise_v because_o it_o be_v a_o record_n of_o god_n fatherly_a goodness_n and_o love_n towards_o we_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n it_o be_v no_o small_a thing_n that_o god_n vouchsafe_v to_o create_v we_o and_o to_o set_v we_o in_o this_o world_n not_o only_o to_o live_v here_o as_o brute_n beast_n but_o also_o too_o reign_v as_o his_o child_n and_o too_o have_v dominion_n over_o all_o other_o creature_n it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n extend_v even_o too_o ass_n 11._o ox_n

as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o there_o be_v a_o far_a other_o reason_n in_o respect_n of_o we_o for_o how_o enjoy_v we_o all_o the_o good_n and_o riches_n whereof_o the_o earth_n be_v full_a god_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o bountifulness_n in_o that_o the_o earth_n bring_v we_o forth_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o sundry_a fruit_n yea_o we_o can_v look_v up_o too_o heavenward_o high_a nor_o low_a

so_o discharge_v himself_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v always_o be_v find_v faulty_a if_o god_n list_v too_o sift_v he_o with_o rigour_n but_o yet_o shall_v some_o have_v do_v their_o duty_n in_o such_o

beneath_o too_o take_v we_o up_o too_o a_o perfect_a happiness_n which_o wait_v for_o we_o above_o but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v

the_o hindredth_n part_n of_o they_o therefore_o we_o must_v make_v a_o rehearsal_n of_o all_o our_o year_n and_o day_n that_o we_o may_v be_v put_v in_o mind_n too_o love_n and_o honour_n god_n when_o we_o see_v how_o great_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o he_o for_o his_o maintain_v of_o we_o so_o long_o a_o time_n and_o for_o his_o patientness_n towards_o we_o in_o bear_v with_o we_o for_o if_o

because_o god_n have_v ordain_v they_o and_o there_o be_v no_o pre-eminence_n but_o of_o he_o as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v to_o the_o roman_n it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o he_o speak_v express_o

must_v give_v a_o proof_n of_o our_o humility_n too_o godward_n by_o our_o willing_a and_o easy_a bear_n of_o man_n yoke_n which_o he_o have_v lay_v upon_o we_o as_o it_o be_v his_o own_o hand_n let_v that_o be_v for_o one_o point_n now_o as_o i_o say_v this_o comprehend_v all_o subjection_n as_o well_o of_o people_n towards_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n of_o child_n towards_o their_o parent_n and_o of_o wife_n towards_o their_o husband_n as_o also_o of_o servant_n towards_o their_o master_n and_o when_o we_o once_o have_v that_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o we_o too_o withstand_v all_o

who_o have_v give_v he_o more_o authority_n than_o i_o but_o see_v god_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o hold_v our_o peace_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v

for_o if_o a_o master_n have_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o folk_n in_o his_o house_n he_o shall_v be_v of_o sufficient_a authority_n too_o appoint_v who_o he_o list_v too_o have_v the_o oversight_n

such_o as_o he_o have_v appoint_v without_o make_v any_o reply_n for_o what_o can_v it_o boot_n too_o say_v the_o contrary_a therefore_o as_o i_o say_v let_v we_o print_v this_o counsel_n of_o saint_n

number_n of_o man_n that_o pretend_v marvellous_o well_o insomuch_o that_o they_o who_o they_o serve_v shall_v be_v content_v tootoo_o well_o with_o they_o but_o although_o such_o deal_n be_v allow_v among_o man_n yet_o be_v it_o nothing_o worth_a before_o god_n and_o why_o for_o god_n will_v be_v honour_v at_o our_o hand_n he_o will_v have_v man_n too_o enjoy_v their_o right_a in_o such_o wise_n as_o neither_o he_o be_v forget_v nor_o they_o as_o it_o be_v deface_v therefore_o if_o we_o will_v but_o only_o obey_v man_n and_o despise_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n will_v have_v too_o be_v as_o a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n too_o himself_o what_o a_o deal_n be_v that_o then_o let_v we_o tend_v always_o too_o he_o and_o dedicate_v ourselves_o too_o he_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v his_o

quite_o away_o from_o the_o soundness_n and_o substancialnesse_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n speak_v here_o in_o like_o case_n be_v it_o with_o righteousness_n for_o we_o will_v fain_v content_a god_n with_o a_o little_a in_o deed_n we_o will_v confess_v well_o enough_o with_o the_o mouth_n that_o it_o be_v reason_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v serve_v and_o honour_v and_o that_o we_o shall_v live_v

as_o far_o as_o can_v be_v judge_v and_o yet_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o a_o blast_n it_o will_v not_o continue_v and_o why_o because_o we_o be_v not_o fence_v against_o satan_n and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o if_o we_o follow_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o promise_n will_v never_o deceive_v we_o for_o although_o saint_n paul_n exhort_v the_o faithful_a too_o stand_v fast_o and_o too_o hold_v out_o too_o the_o end_n yet_o be_v there_o a_o certain_a warrantyze_n include_v therein_o that_o god_n will_v always_o succour_v they_o at_o their_o

to_o start_v aside_o and_o too_o stray_v quite_o out_o of_o the_o good_a way_n we_o must_v impute_v all_o too_o our_o own_o recklessness_n because_o we_o have_v not_o put_v on_o the_o armour_n that_o

the_o gospel_n as_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v than_o we_o may_v walk_v safe_o through_o the_o world_n for_o we_o see_v how_o the_o unbeliever_n be_v plunge_a ever_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o it_o those_o who_o god_n have_v not_o prepare_v too_o walk_v and_o too_o attain_v too_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v so_o snarl_a in_o this_o world_n that_o they_o be_v altogether_o unprofitable_a as_o

that_o we_o intermeddle_v not_o ourselves_o with_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n but_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o they_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n there_o be_v

store_n by_o his_o life_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o do_v not_o set_v the_o cart_n before_o the_o horse_n as_o they_o say_v for_o we_o see_v by_o this_o text_n 4._o and_o also_o by_o that_o which_o be_v write_v too_o the_o colossian_n that_o he_o have_v always_o more_o regard_n too_o discharge_v his_o duty_n toowardes_n god_n special_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o church_n by_o preach_v the_o gospel_n faithful_o than_o too_o ease_v himself_o or_o too_o eschew_v the_o danger_n wherein_o he_o see_v he_o be_v then_o first_o of_o all_o if_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o too_o any_o charge_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v let_v we_o learn_v too_o understand_v our_o own_o infirmity_n that_o we_o may_v be_v succour_v of_o he_o as_o we_o need_v and_o not_o presume_v any_o whit_n upon_o our_o own_o strength_n or_o cunning_n but_o consider_v that_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o hold_v we_o up_o by_o strong_a hand_n and_o that_o we_o have_v need_v too_o resort_v unto_o he_o yea_o and_o too_o desire_v after_o the_o example_n of_o saint_n paul_n to_o be_v commend_v to_o the_o prayer_n of_o all_o the_o member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v good_a reason_n
