young_a man_n to_o behold_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v look_v my_o son_n be_v this_o man_n fit_a to_o learn_v which_o can_v hear_v nor_o see_v nor_o speak_v nor_o go_v therefore_o remember_v thou_o thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n before_o this_o dotage_n come_v this_o then_o be_v the_o level_a of_o our_o message_n to_o hasten_v they_o forward_o which_o travel_n towards_o heaven_n because_o there_o be_v a_o great_a space_n between_o god_n and_o we_o and_o much_o a_o do_v to_o aspire_v the_o top_n of_o mount_n zion_n but_o more_o a_o do_v to_o aspire_v the_o top_n of_o the_o mount_n of_o heaven_n therefore_o as_o abraham_n rise_v early_o to_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n in_o the_o morning_n 3_o so_o in_o the_o morning_n of_o thy_o life_n sacrifice_v thyself_o to_o god_n and_o let_v he_o which_o be_v alpha_n in_o every_o thing_n be_v alpha_n in_o thy_o conversion_n that_o be_v the_o beginning_n as_o well_o as_o the_o end_n because_o we_o be_v give_v to_o set_v the_o best_a last_n that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o long_a time_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o pleasure_n like_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o 1._o of_o agge_n &_o 2._o which_o say_v always_o the_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v when_o they_o shall_v build_v the_o temple_n therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n cry_v so_o often_o 2._o this_o be_v the_o acceptable_a time_n this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o salvation_n to_o day_n hear_v his_o voice_n like_o rebeccah_n which_o teach_v her_o son_n the_o near_a way_n to_o get_v the_o blessing_n 9_o when_o christ_n go_v about_o to_o cast_v out_o devil_n they_o say_v 29._o that_o he_o torment_v they_o before_o the_o time_n so_o whensoever_o thou_o go_v about_o to_o dismiss_v thy_o sin_n and_o pleasure_n though_o thou_o stay_v till_o thou_o be_v a_o old_a man_n yet_o they_o will_v say_v still_o that_o thou_o dismisse_v they_o before_o the_o time_n but_o than_o be_v the_o time_n when_o the_o devil_n say_v the_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o for_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o liar_n &_o know_v that_o with_o what_o liquor_n our_o vessel_n be_v season_v at_o first_o they_o will_v taste_v of_o the_o same_o ever_o after_o whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a therefore_o as_o god_n sue_v to_o have_v we_o begin_v at_o goodness_n so_o the_o devil_n woo_v we_o to_o begin_v at_o wickedness_n allege_v either_o that_o we_o be_v not_o resolve_v yet_o to_o leave_v our_o pleasure_n or_o else_o that_o god_n be_v exceed_o merciful_a to_o sinner_n or_o else_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v space_n enough_o to_o serve_v he_o hereafter_o so_o he_o stand_v as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o ladder_n foot_n and_o keep_v we_o off_o with_o these_o weapon_n that_o we_o can_v get_v upon_o the_o first_o staff_n but_o one_o thought_n or_o other_o pull_v we_o back_o when_o the_o foot_n be_v in_o the_o stirrup_n ready_a to_o ride_v away_o from_o all_o our_o sin_n at_o once_o thus_o we_o have_v long_o purpose_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o every_o man_n think_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v serve_v but_o we_o can_v accord_v of_o the_o time_n when_o to_o begin_v one_o say_v when_o i_o be_o rich_a a_o other_o say_v when_o i_o be_o free_a another_z say_v when_o i_o be_o settle_v a_o other_o say_v when_o i_o be_o old_a than_o my_o pleasure_n will_v leave_v i_o and_o i_o shall_v be_v fit_a to_o fast_v and_o pray_v and_o sequester_v myself_o but_o now_o i_o shall_v be_v mock_v if_o i_o be_v not_o like_o other_o thus_o like_o bad_a borrower_n when_o our_o day_n be_v pass_v already_o we_o crave_v a_o long_o and_o a_o long_o and_o yet_o a_o long_a till_o we_o be_v arrest_v with_o death_n so_o the_o prince_n of_o creature_n die_v before_o he_o consider_v why_o he_o live_v for_o as_o no_o discipline_n be_v use_v where_o christ_n discipline_n be_v neglect_v so_o no_o time_n be_v observe_v where_o god_n time_n be_v omit_v it_o be_v a_o old_a say_n repentance_n be_v never_o too_o late_o but_o it_o be_v a_o true_a say_n repentance_n be_v never_o too_o soon_o 24._o therefore_o we_o be_v command_v

which_o fly_v but_o for_o the_o partridge_n take_v her_o flight_n so_o soon_o as_o she_o spy_v the_o partridge_n spring_n so_o we_o shall_v follow_v the_o word_n so_o soon_o as_o it_o speak_v and_o

make_v any_o answer_n as_o though_o he_o care_v not_o for_o they_o but_o when_o he_o hear_v that_o his_o dear_a child_n seven_o son_n and_o three_o daughter_n after_o he_o have_v bring_v they_o up_o to_o ripe_a year_n be_v slay_v all_o at_o once_o than_o the_o story_n say_v that_o he_o rise_v up_o from_o his_o seat_n and_o rend_v his_o garment_n and_o shave_v his_o head_n and_o fall_v down_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o cry_v naked_a come_v i_o out_o of_o my_o mother_n womb_n and_o naked_a shall_v i_o return_v again_o so_o even_o the_o devil_n know_v what_o a_o man_n love_v and_o what_o a_o blessing_n it_o be_v to_o have_v child_n therefore_o when_o god_n command_v the_o man_n and_o the_o woman_n to_o increase_v and_o multiply_v it_o be_v say_v before_o that_o god_n bless_v they_o gen._n 1._o 28._o which_o be_v the_o first_o blessing_n that_o be_v give_v to_o man_n which_o be_v call_v a_o blessing_n the_o blessing_n of_o child_n again_o when_o god_n speak_v the_o same_o word_n to_o noah_n &_o his_o son_n it_o be_v say_v before_o that_o god_n bless_a noah_n &_o his_o son_n gen._n 9_o 4._o so_o child_n come_v still_o under_o the_o name_n of_o blessing_n thus_o god_n himself_o show_v that_o child_n be_v his_o gift_n to_o make_v you_o thankful_a for_o they_o and_o careful_a of_o they_o as_o job_n be_v and_o therefore_o some_o man_n have_v more_o riches_n and_o some_o less_o &_o some_o none_o because_o it_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n as_o solomon_n say_v which_o make_v rich_a pro._n 10._o 22._o so_o some_o man_n have_v many_o child_n &_o some_o few_o &_o some_o none_o because_o it_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n as_o david_n say_v which_o send_v child_n psal_n 128._o but_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o temporal_a blessing_n and_o spiritual_a blessing_n that_o spiritual_a blessing_n be_v simple_o good_a and_o therefore_o do_v all_o man_n good_a that_o enjoy_v they_o as_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o patience_n can_v never_o hurt_v a_o man_n but_o better_a he_o and_o temporal_a blessing_n be_v as_o he_o which_o have_v they_o to_o good_a man_n riches_n be_v good_a honour_n be_v good_a health_n be_v good_a liberty_n be_v good_a because_o he_o do_v good_a with_o they_o but_o to_o a_o evil_a man_n they_o be_v evil_a because_o they_o make_v he_o worse_o and_o he_o do_v evil_a with_o they_o as_o jeroboam_fw-la have_v not_o do_v so_o much_o hurt_v if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v in_o such_o honour_n therefore_o we_o pray_v for_o health_n and_o wealth_n and_o honour_n and_o rest_n and_o liberty_n and_o life_n with_o a_o caution_n if_o it_o be_v god_n will_v as_o christ_n pray_v for_o the_o remove_n of_o his_o cross_n because_o we_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n whether_o they_o will_v make_v we_o better_o or_o worse_o or_o whether_o we_o shall_v do_v good_a with_o they_o or_o hurt_v thus_o when_o job_n have_v his_o cattle_n and_o his_o house_n and_o his_o friend_n and_o his_o servant_n and_o his_o child_n about_o he_o he_o be_v like_o the_o man_n of_o who_o david_n speak_v the_o righteous_a man_n shall_v flourish_v like_o a_o palm_n tree_n psalm_n 91._o 13._o therefore_o the_o devil_n say_v that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o hedge_n about_o job._n vers_fw-la 10._o as_o a_o hedge_n go_v round_o about_o a_o garden_n so_o god_n blessing_n go_v round_o about_o job_n according_a to_o that_o psal_n 33._o 10._o him_n which_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n mercy_n shall_v embrace_v on_o every_o side_n thus_o job_n be_v endow_v with_o child_n but_o how_o his_o child_n be_v affect_v we_o can_v define_v so_o well_o as_o of_o their_o father_n because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v nothing_o of_o they_o but_o that_o they_o banquet_v which_o do_v sound_a as_o though_o he_o note_v a_o disparagement_n between_o job_n and_o his_o son_n as_o there_o be_v between_o ely_n and_o his_o son_n for_o oftentimes_o a_o godly_a father_n have_v untoward_a child_n which_o make_v he_o watch_v and_o fast_o and_o pray_v &_o weep_v when_o they_o little_o think_v while_o they_o themselves_o ruffle_v and_o swear_v and_o banquet_n and_o game_n till_o poverty_n fall_v on_o their_o purse_n as_o the_o house_n fall_v upon_o their_o head_n so_o it_o seem_v that_o job_n son_n be_v secure_a upon_o their_o father_n holiness_n as_o many_o be_v upon_o their_o father_n husbandry_n which_o think_v the_o old_a man_n have_v enough_o for_o we_o we_o need_v not_o care_n to_o get_v or_o save_v so_o they_o may_v think_v our_o father_n sacrifice_v for_o we_o we_o may_v feast_v and_o be_v merry_a his_o devotion_n will_v serve_v for_o we_o he_o be_v a_o old_a man_n let_v he_o pray_v and_o god_n will_v hear_v he_o one_o lot_n be_v enough_o in_o a_o house_n but_o if_o job_n have_v breed_v up_o his_o son_n so_o god_n will_v not_o have_v commend_v he_o but_o rebuke_v he_o as_o he_o do_v ely_n therefore_o this_o be_v not_o speak_v against_o job_n son_n that_o they_o banquet_v as_o it_o be_v speak_v against_o the_o israelite_n that_o they_o sit_v they_o down_o to_o eat_v and_o rise_v up_o to_o play_v for_o first_o it_o be_v not_o like_a that_o he_o which_o be_v so_o commend_v of_o god_n that_o he_o say_v no_o man_n be_v like_o he_o upon_o the_o earth_n vers_fw-la 8._o will_v not_o teach_v his_o child_n in_o their_o youth_n as_o he_o pray_v for_o they_o after_o again_o if_o they_o have_v be_v epicure_n and_o libertine_n and_o beazler_n god_n will_v not_o have_v hear_v his_o prayer_n for_o they_o no_o more_o than_o he_o will_v hear_v samuel_n prayer_n for_o saul_n again_o if_o they_o have_v despise_v that_o god_n which_o their_o father_n worship_v he_o will_v never_o have_v say_v as_o he_o say_v it_o may_v be_v that_o my_o son_n have_v blaspheme_v god_n as_o though_o some_o
