all_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n 1_o to_o seek_v themselves_o too_o much_o and_o have_v give_v they_o warning_n and_o watch_v word_n thereof_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v and_o do_v experience_n confirm_v it_o then_o hence_o be_v reprove_v a_o number_n of_o man_n who_o think_v they_o can_v never_o show_v love_n enough_o to_o themselves_o nor_o seek_v their_o own_o enough_o but_o think_v all_o cost_n charge_n cheerish_v praise_n honour_n etc._n etc._n too_o little_a for_o they_o 22._o and_o no_o man_n need_v say_v to_o they_o as_o peter_n do_v to_o christ_n favour_n thyself_o but_o if_o they_o do_v a_o little_a for_o another_o man_n they_o account_v it_o a_o great_a matter_n though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n or_o a_o single_a penny_n but_o no_o variety_n of_o dainty_n be_v too_o good_a for_o they_o no_o silk_n purple_a cloth_n or_o stuff_n be_v too_o good_a to_o clothe_v they_o the_o poor_a man_n idleness_n and_o ill_a husbandry_n be_v oft_o throw_v in_o his_o dish_n but_o their_o own_o carnal_a delight_n and_o fleshly_a wantonness_n be_v never_o think_v upon_o and_o why_o because_o they_o think_v even_o god_n and_o man_n owe_v all_o to_o they_o but_o they_o owe_v nothing_o to_o none_o why_o thou_o foolish_a and_o besotted_a man_n have_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n read_v it_o in_o the_o face_n of_o every_o son_n of_o adam_n that_o he_o be_v too_o apt_a to_o seek_v his_o own_o and_o be_v thou_o wise_a than_o god_n to_o think_v thou_o never_o seek_v thy_o own_o enough_o or_o dream_v thou_o that_o thou_o be_v make_v of_o other_o and_o better_a mettle_n than_o other_o man_n be_v sure_o i_o know_v no_o way_n to_o escape_v have_v of_o corruption_n to_o thy_o father_n and_o the_o worm_n to_o thy_o sister_n and_o brother_n and_o if_o god_n have_v any_o where_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n say_v love_v thyself_o make_v much_o of_o thyself_o provide_v for_o one_o etc._n etc._n there_o be_v some_o reason_n for_o thou_o to_o take_v up_o the_o nigards_n

do_v god_n ever_o commend_v a_o man_n for_o carnal_a love_n of_o himself_o 14._o nay_o he_o brand_v it_o and_o disgrace_v it_o 4._o as_o self-love_n take_v think_v for_o the_o flesh_n love_v of_o pleasure_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o good_a natural_a policy_n object_n for_o a_o man_n to_o care_n and_o provide_v for_o himself_o then_o the_o most_o fool_n have_v most_o natural_a policy_n resp_n for_o see_v you_o not_o the_o great_a drone_n and_o novice_n either_o in_o church_n or_o commonwealth_n to_o be_v the_o great_a scratcher_n 7._o and_o scraper_n and_o gatherer_n of_o

then_o the_o fashion_n of_o hog_n and_o so_o let_v it_o be_v what_o natural_a policy_n it_o will_n if_o god_n see_v this_o disease_n of_o self-love_n so_o dangerous_a in_o we_o 2._o than_o it_o stand_v we_o all_o in_o hand_n to_o suspect_v ourselves_o and_o so_o to_o seek_v out_o the_o root_n of_o this_o disease_n that_o it_o may_v be_v cure_v if_o a_o learned_a physician_n shall_v see_v by_o our_o countenance_n and_o eye_n simile_n that_o we_o have_v some_o dangerous_a disease_n grow_v on_o we_o our_o heart_n will_v smite_v we_o and_o we_o will_v bethink_v ourselves_o where_o the_o

more_o ought_v we_o to_o bestir_v ourselves_o for_o this_o matter_n of_o self-love_n since_o god_n himself_o have_v cast_v all_o our_o water_n and_o feel_v all_o our_o pulse_n and_o pronounce_v we_o all_o dangerous_o sick_a of_o this_o disease_n believe_v it_o god_n can_v lie_v nor_o be_v deceive_v he_o that_o make_v the_o heart_n do_v not_o he_o know_v it_o let_v every_o man_n heart_n smite_v

jocund_a at_o the_o come_n of_o it_o in_o and_o too_o heavy_a at_o the_o go_n of_o it_o out_o for_o if_o you_o find_v it_o so_o there_o be_v great_a danger_n if_o thou_o can_v not_o buy_v as_o if_o

10._o as_o well_o to_o endure_v hard_a labour_n as_o to_o live_v at_o ease_n and_o be_v as_o willing_a to_o go_v to_o the_o house_n of_o mourn_v as_o to_o the_o house_n of_o mirth_n 6._o for_o else_o out_o of_o doubt_n thou_o love_v thy_o carnal_a pleasure_n and_o ease_v too_o much_o again_o 15._o see_v whether_o thy_o heart_n can_v be_v as_o merry_a and_o thy_o mind_n as_o joyful_a and_o thy_o

with_o comfort_n and_o good_a conscience_n say_v 3._o i_o pass_v little_a for_o man_n judgement_n whether_o thou_o can_v do_v thy_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v 2._o and_o despise_v the_o shame_n
