come_v to_o judgement_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o they_o that_o have_v try_v they_o most_o be_v condemn_v most_o rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n but_o if_o thou_o mark_v solomon_n he_o harp_v upon_o one_o string_n he_o double_v it_o again_o and_o again_o to_o show_v we_o thing_n of_o his_o own_o experience_n because_o we_o be_v so_o forgetful_a thereof_o in_o ourselves_o like_o the_o dreamer_n that_o forget_v his_o dream_n and_o the_o swearer_n his_o swear_n so_o we_o beg_v of_o every_o unclean_a spirit_n until_o we_o have_v bombast_v ourselves_o up_o to_o the_o throat_n fill_v every_o corner_n of_o our_o heart_n with_o all_o uncleanness_n and_o then_o we_o be_v like_o the_o dog_n that_o come_v out_o of_o the_o sink_n and_o make_v every_o one_o as_o foul_a as_o himself_o therefore_o say_v solomon_n if_o any_o one_o will_v learn_v the_o way_n to_o hell_n let_v he_o take_v his_o pleasure_n methinke_v i_o see_v the_o dialogue_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n the_o worst_a speak_v first_o and_o the_o flesh_n say_v soul_n take_v thy_o ease_n eat_v drink_n and_o go_v brave_a lie_v soft_a what_o else_o shall_v you_o do_v but_o take_v your_o pleasure_n thou_o know_v what_o a_o pleasant_a fellow_n i_o have_v be_v unto_o thou_o thou_o know_v what_o delight_n thou_o have_v have_v by_o my_o mean_n but_o the_o soul_n come_v in_o burden_v with_o that_o which_o have_v be_v speak_v before_o and_o say_v i_o pray_v thou_o remember_v judgement_n thou_o must_v give_v account_n for_o all_o these_o thing_n for_o unless_o you_o repent_v you_o shall_v sure_o perish_v no_o say_v the_o flesh_n talk_v not_o of_o such_o grave_a matter_n but_o tell_v i_o of_o fine_a matter_n of_o soft_a bed_n and_o pleasant_a thing_n and_o talk_v i_o of_o brave_a pastime_n ape_n bear_n and_o puppet_n for_o i_o tell_v thou_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n be_v sweet_a of_o all_o fruit_n for_o i_o do_v not_o like_v of_o your_o tell_v i_o of_o judgement_n but_o take_v thou_o thy_o jewel_n thy_o instrument_n and_o all_o the_o string_n of_o vanity_n will_v strike_v at_o once_o for_o the_o flesh_n love_v to_o be_v brave_a and_o tread_v upon_o cork_n it_o can_v tell_v what_o fashion_n to_o be_v of_o and_o yet_o to_o be_v of_o the_o new_a fashion_n rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n o_o this_o go_v brave_a for_o while_o wickedness_n have_v cast_v his_o rub_n and_o vengeance_n cast_v his_o spur_n and_o his_o foot_n and_o thus_o she_o reel_v and_o now_o she_o tumble_v and_o then_o she_o fall_v therefore_o this_o progress_n be_v end_v pleasure_n be_v but_o a_o spur_n riches_n but_o a_o thorn_n glory_n but_o a_o blast_n beauty_n but_o a_o flower_n sin_n be_v but_o a_o hypocrite_n honey_n in_o thy_o mouth_n and_o poison_n in_o thy_o stomach_n therefore_o let_v we_o come_v again_o and_o ask_v of_o solomon_n in_o good_a sooth_n whether_o he_o mean_v in_o good_a earnest_n when_o he_o speak_v these_o word_n o_o say_v solomon_n it_o be_v the_o best_a life_n in_o the_o world_n to_o go_v brave_a lie_v soft_a and_o live_v mere_o if_o therewere_v no_o judgement_n but_o this_o judgement_n mar_v all_o it_o be_v like_o a_o damp_n that_o put_v out_o all_o the_o light_n and_o like_o a_o box_n that_o mar_v all_o the_o ointment_n for_o if_o this_o be_v true_a we_o have_v spin_a a_o fair_a thread_n that_o we_o must_v answer_v for_o all_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o answer_v for_o one_o why_o solomon_n make_v we_o fool_n and_o give_v we_o gaud_n to_o play_v withal_o what_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o rejoice_v at_o all_o yes_o there_o be_v a_o godly_a mirth_n and_o if_o we_o can_v hit_v on_o it_o which_o be_v call_v be_v merry_a and_o wise_a sara_n laugh_v and_o be_v reproove_v abraham_n laugh_v and_o be_v not_o reproove_v and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o part_n but_o remember_v that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n thou_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n this_o verse_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o dialogue_n betwixt_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o two_o counsellor_n the_o worst_a be_v first_o and_o the_o flesh_n speak_v proud_o but_o the_o spirit_n come_v in_o burden_a with_o that_o which_o have_v beenespoken_v the_o flesh_n go_v laugh_v and_o sing_v to_o hell_n but_o the_o spirit_n cast_v rub_n in_o his_o way_n &_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o judgement_n that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n now_o end_n rejoice_v and_o here_o come_v in_o but_o if_o this_o but_o be_v not_o we_o may_v rejoice_v still_o if_o young_a man_n must_v for_o all_o the_o sport_n of_o youth_n what_o then_o shall_v old_a man_n do_v be_v as_o they_o be_v now_o sure_o if_o solomon_n live_v to_o see_v our_o old_a man_n live_v now_o as_o here_o he_o say_v of_o young_a man_n so_o high_a as_o sin_n rage_v yet_o vengeance_n fit_v above_o it_o as_o high_a as_o high_a babel_n i_o think_v i_o see_v a_o sword_n hang_v in_o the_o air_n by_o a_o twine_n thread_n and_o all_o the_o son_n of_o man_n labour_v to_o burst_v it_o in_o sunder_o there_o be_v a_o place_n in_o hell_n where_o the_o covetous_a judge_n sit_v the_o greedy_a lawyer_n the_o gripe_a landlord_n the_o careless_a bishop_n the_o lusty_a youth_n the_o wanton_a dame_n the_o thief_n the_o robber_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n they_o be_v punish_v in_o this_o life_n because_o they_o ever_o sin_v as_o long_o as_o they_o can_v while_o mercy_n be_v offer_v unto_o they_o therefore_o because_o they_o will_v not_o be_v wash_v they_o shall_v be_v drown_v now_o put_v together_o rejoice_v and_o remember_v thou_o have_v learned_a to_o be_v merry_a now_o learn_v to_o be_v wise_a now_o therefore_o turn_v over_o a_o new_a leaf_n and_o take_v a_o new_a lesson_n for_o now_o solomon_n mock_v not_o as_o he_o do_v before_o therefore_o a_o check_n to_o thy_o ruff_n a_o check_n to_o thy_o cuff_n a_o check_n to_o thy_o robe_n a_o check_n to_o thy_o gold_n a_o check_n to_o your_o riches_n a_o check_n to_o your_o beauty_n a_o check_n to_o your_o muck_n a_o check_n to_o your_o grave_n woe_n from_o above_o woe_n from_o below_o woe_n to_o all_o the_o string_n of_o vanity_n do_v thou_o not_o now_o marvel_v that_o thou_o have_v not_o a_o feel_n of_o sin_n for_o now_o thou_o see_v solomon_n say_v true_a thy_o own_o heart_n can_v tell_v that_o it_o be_v wicked_a but_o it_o can_v amend_v therefore_o it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o amend_v as_o nathan_n come_v to_o david_n after_o belzebub_n so_o come_v accuse_v conscience_n after_o sin_n i_o think_v that_o every_o one_o shall_v have_v a_o feel_n of_o sin_n though_o this_o day_n be_v like_o yesterday_o and_o to_o morrow_n like_v to_o day_n yet_o one_o day_n will_v come_v for_o all_o and_o then_o woe_n wo_n wo_n and_o nothing_o but_o darkness_n and_o though_o god_n come_v not_o to_o adam_n until_o the_o

though_o he_o have_v leaden_a foot_n he_o have_v iron_n hand_n the_o arrow_n stay_v and_o be_v not_o yet_o fall_v so_o be_v his_o wrath_n the_o pit_n be_v dig_v the_o fire_n kindle_v and_o all_o

that_o the_o natural_a man_n understand_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n these_o thing_n be_v hide_v 1_o from_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a and_o be_v reveal_v to_o babe_n and_o suckling_n alas_o what_o be_v manif_n he_o be_v once_o leave_v to_o himself_o a_o map_n of_o misery_n and_o a_o sink_n of_o calamity_n alas_o how_o be_v he_o able_a to_o resist_v the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o adversary_n who_o 2_o continual_o go_v about_o like_o a_o roar_a lion_n seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v here_o you_o may_v note_v first_o his_o malice_n for_o he_o daily_o accuse_v we_o before_o the_o chief_a judge_n of_o the_o king_n bench_n when_o he_o can_v prevail_v in_o this_o court_n but_o see_v his_o bill_n of_o accusation_n repel_v than_o he_o remoove_v the_o matter_n to_o the_o court_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n where_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o lay_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n make_v against_o sin_n on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o bill_n of_o accusation_n bring_v in_o against_o we_o out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n allege_v these_o strict_a place_n against_o we_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_v shall_v die_v the_o death_n curse_v be_v he_o that_o abide_v not_o in_o every_o point_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v it_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o bring_v in_o our_o conscience_n to_o witness_v against_o we_o and_o then_o infer_v this_o hard_a conclusion_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n in_o salvation_n then_o if_o he_o see_v that_o we_o appeal_v from_o justice_n to_o mercy_n and_o say_v at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n repent_v the_o judge_n put_v all_o his_o wickedness_n out_o of_o his_o remembrance_n he_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o crafty_a worldling_n deal_v in_o matter_n of_o law_n who_o when_o they_o see_v their_o matter_n pass_v against_o they_o in_o high_a court_n bring_v down_o their_o case_n into_o the_o country_n to_o be_v decide_v by_o the_o neighbour_n who_o either_o for_o their_o simplicity_n can_v or_o for_o their_o favour_n dare_v not_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o matter_n so_o our_o adversary_n though_o god_n himself_o do_v discharge_v we_o though_o our_o conscience_n do_v testify_v our_o innocence_n yet_o he_o accuse_v in_o the_o three_o court_n before_o man_n where_o he_o be_v bold_a to_o pour_v out_o his_o whole_a venom_n and_o poison_n of_o his_o malice_n against_o we_o and_o to_o forge_v what_o lie_v and_o slander_n and_o lybel_n he_o listen_v because_o he_o know_v they_o shall_v be_v receive_v as_o true_a thus_o he_o accuse_v christ_n jesus_n our_o bless_a lord_n and_o saviour_n before_o pontius_n pilate_n and_o cause_v diverse_a false_a and_o untrue_a witness_n to_o come_v in_o against_o he_o but_o if_o he_o be_v malicious_a only_o to_o wish_v our_o destruction_n and_o not_o mighty_a to_o wreak_n his_o malice_n we_o shall_v have_v little_a cause_n to_o fear_v but_o he_o be_v mighty_a therefore_o he_o be_v term_v alyon_n the_o power_n of_o darkness_n a_o great_a dragon_n which_o draw_v to_o the_o earth_n the_o third_o part_n of_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n 12._o that_o be_v with_o earthly_a temptation_n to_o have_v overthrow_v they_o which_o seem_v to_o shine_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n as_o lamp_n and_o star_n o_o then_o how_o easy_a be_v our_o overthrow_n if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o hold_v we_o up_o which_o shine_v not_o as_o star_n in_o heaven_n but_o creep_v like_o worm_n on_o earth_n 3_o yet_o if_o he_o be_v but_o malicious_a and_o mighty_a it_o be_v better_o with_o we_o but_o he_o be_v fierce_a and_o therefore_o call_v a_o roar_a lion_n who_o lay_v wait_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o godly_a stir_v up_o bloodthirsty_a persecutor_n to_o make_v themselves_o drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n as_o most_o grievoussy_a he_o do_v from_o the_o time_n of_o john_n baptist_n to_o the_o reign_n of_o maxentius_n the_o space_n of_o 294._o year_n flay_v some_o by_o the_o sword_n burn_v other_o with_o fire_n

lamb_n of_o christ_n flock_n 4_o to_o this_o malice_n might_n and_o rage_n be_v add_v his_o subtle_a policy_n which_o he_o use_v in_o circumvent_a the_o faithful_a he_o do_v not_o pitch_v his_o tent_n in_o any_o one_o place_n but_o walk_v about_o from_o place_n to_o place_n to_o spy_v out_o his_o best_a advantage_n in_o the_o night_n 1_o he_o sow_v tare_n and_o in_o the_o day_n he_o hinder_v the_o growth_n thereof_o 5_o he_o proceed_v after_o further_o and_o add_v to_o his_o policy_n industry_n he_o consider_v our_o nature_n and_o disposition_n and_o to_o what_o sin_n we_o do_v most_o incline_v and_o thereunto_o he_o apply_v himself_o sometime_o by_o flattery_n sometime_o by_o fear_n sometime_o by_o feed_v our_o humour_n he_o subtle_o entice_v we_o sometime_o by_o violence_n he_o go_v about_o to_o enforce_v we_o sometime_o by_o change_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n he_o endevour_v to_o betray_v our_o soul_n into_o his_o hand_n and_o in_o whatsoever_o estate_n he_o find_v we_o he_o thereby_o take_v occasion_n to_o lay_v siege_n to_o our_o soul_n thus_o you_o see_v note_v in_o a_o word_n the_o force_n of_o our_o adversary_n examine_v now_o yourselves_o whether_o you_o have_v any_o thing_n in_o yourselves_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o weakness_n and_o corruption_n it_o be_v god_n that_o give_v strength_n to_o the_o mighty_a wisdom_n to_o the_o prudent_a and_o knowledge_n to_o the_o understanding_n he_o teach_v david_n hand_n to_o fight_v and_o his_o finger_n to_o 144._o battle_n he_o give_v strength_n to_o his_o arm_n to_o break_v a_o bow_n

four_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v seek_v christ_n alone_o be_v because_o there_o be_v none_o so_o willing_a to_o help_v we_o as_o he_o it_o be_v a_o great_a 4_o courage_n to_o we_o to_o make_v suit_n when_o we_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o willignesse_n of_o he_o to_o who_o we_o make_v suit_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o who_o be_v ever_o more_o careful_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o more_o watchful_a over_o we_o than_o the_o lord_n who_o ever_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o be_v confound_v in_o this_o respect_n he_o be_v call_v a_o father_n because_o as_o the_o father_n tender_v his_o son_n so_o the_o lord_n do_v all_o those_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o can_v there_o be_v any_o more_o willing_a to_o help_v we_o than_o christ_n who_o whole_a head_n be_v sick_a and_o who_o
