decreasement_n ought_v to_o be_v oppose_v and_o confer_v with_o those_o that_o be_v put_v before_o in_o the_o former_a part_n touch_v increasement_n and_o we_o have_v here_o in_o this_o place_n no_o few_o instruction_n of_o piety_n and_o godliness_n first_o in_o that_o he_o say_v and_o he_o place_v there_o we_o learn_v that_o we_o be_v direct_v by_o the_o lord_n whersoever_o we_o become_v and_o that_o people_n be_v by_o the_o lord_n convey_v and_o translate_v whithersoever_o it_o please_v he_o 2_o in_o that_o he_o say_v he_o place_v the_o hungry_a we_o learn_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v regard_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a and_o therefore_o that_o we_o must_v not_o despair_v though_o we_o be_v distress_v even_o with_o extreme_a necessity_n 3_o that_o poverty_n be_v rather_o a_o provocation_n unto_o virtue_n than_o a_o let_v or_o hindrance_n and_o that_o all_o man_n become_v more_o diligent_a and_o cheerful_a by_o it_o then_o otherwise_o 4_o we_o learn_v that_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o build_v house_n to_o plough_v the_o field_n to_o plant_v viniard_n to_o provide_v cattle_n but_o that_o we_o may_v free_o by_o honest_a and_o lawful_a mean_n increase_v our_o substance_n so_o long_o as_o we_o do_v it_o without_o the_o hurt_n or_o prejudice_n of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o we_o know_v that_o thus_o the_o holy_a father_n do_v institute_v their_o household_n matter_n and_o encrese_v their_o possession_n 5_o we_o learn_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o special_a and_o peculiar_a care_n of_o all_o thing_n yea_o even_o of_o our_o beast_n and_o cattle_n and_o of_o most_o vile_a and_o abject_a thing_n 6_o we_o learn_v that_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n our_o endeavour_n take_v no_o place_n except_o the_o lord_n vouchsafe_v to_o help_v we_o with_o his_o blessing_n and_o to_o give_v a_o increase_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o thing_n come_v well_o to_o pass_v it_o be_v to_o be_v ascribe_v only_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o we_o be_v to_o thank_v he_o for_o it_o 7_o we_o learn_v that_o it_o fall_v out_o again_o by_o the_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n that_o our_o good_n and_o substance_n do_v decrease_v and_o therefore_o that_o we_o be_v patient_o to_o take_v in_o good_a part_n whatsoever_o the_o lord_n shall_v determine_v of_o us._n 8_o we_o learn_v that_o god_n have_v diverse_a and_o sundry_a way_n and_o mean_n to_o punish_v and_o humble_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o perceive_v our_o good_n to_o waste_n and_o yet_o can_v find_v out_o the_o

nevertheless_o that_o god_n woork_v all_o in_o all_o in_o they_o first_n we_o must_v persuade_v ourselves_o that_o those_o cause_n and_o all_o other_o help_v and_o remedy_n beside_o be_v give_v we_o of_o god_n himself_o and_o look_v by_o what_o providence_n it_o be_v ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v fall_v into_o danger_n and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o many_o thing_n and_o by_o the_o same_o also_o it_o be_v appoint_v that_o we_o shall_v use_v secondary_a cause_n and_o be_v holpen_v by_o they_o for_o as_o it_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v pine_v with_o hunger_n pinch_v with_o thirst_n freeze_v with_o cold_a distress_v with_o diverse_a disease_n and_o oftentimes_o fall_v into_o sundry_a perrille_n and_o perplexity_n so_o be_v it_o appoint_v again_o of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v sow_v and_o mow_v our_o land_n provide_v water_n or_o other_o kind_n of_o drink_n get_v skin_n leather_n linen_n &_o woollen_a for_o apparel_n give_v diligence_n to_o learn_v physic_n second_o it_o serve_v to_o this_o purpose_n that_o god_n have_v instill_v into_o every_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v create_v certain_a secret_n and_o peculiar_a virtue_n which_o we_o can_v perceive_v in_o like_a manner_n to_o be_v in_o other_o thing_n so_o we_o see_v corn_n or_o grain_n proper_o to_o qualify_v hunger_n water_n to_o quench_v thirst_n this_o herb_n for_o this_o use_n a_o other_o for_o that_o etc._n etc._n in_o most_o excellent_a order_n provide_v but_o all_o especial_o to_o serve_v the_o use_n of_o man_n as_o lord_n &_o king_n appoint_v over_o all_o creature_n who_o part_n it_o be_v in_o such_o wise_a to_o use_v they_o as_o that_o he_o may_v apply_v every_o thing_n to_o those_o special_a purpose_n for_o that_o which_o they_o be_v proper_o make_v and_o not_o out_o of_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o thing_n to_o be_v in_o hope_n that_o he_o shall_v get_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o with_o meat_n go_v about_o to_o quench_v his_o thirst_n nor_o take_v drink_v to_o slake_v his_o hunger_n etc._n etc._n now_o they_o if_o every_o thing_n be_v in_o this_o wise_a create_v unto_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a use_n what_o avail_v it_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o create_v if_o a_o man_n use_v they_o not_o to_o the_o same_o end_n &_o purpose_n three_o this_o also_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v as_o worthy_a of_o admiration_n nam_o that_o theridamas_n be_v no_o land_n or_o country_n any_o where_o extant_a with_o bring_v not_o forth_o what_o soever_o thing_n be_v necessary_a to_o maintain_v the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o of_o other_o creature_n whereof_o there_o be_v great_a use_n again_o no_o live_a creature_n so_o small_a whereunto_o god_n have_v not_o engraft_v a_o care_n to_o preserve_v itself_o and_o also_o some_o sense_n and_o feel_v by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o to_o avoid_v the_o thing_n that_o it_o see_v to_o be_v against_o it_o and_o wherefore_o be_v it_o thus_o i_o pray_v you_o but_o because_o man_n shall_v understand_v that_o he_o be_v altogether_o leave_v without_o excuse_n if_o as_o oft_o as_o necessity_n so_o require_v he_o use_v not_o the_o help_n that_o be_v provide_v and_o strive_v not_o to_o help_v and_o further_a himself_o by_o they_o four_o for_o the_o selfsame_o cause_n have_v god_n give_v unto_o man_n wit_n and_o reason_n whereby_o he_o may_v discern_v between_o thing_n to_o be_v eschew_v and_o thing_n to_o be_v desire_v he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o he_o the_o knowledge_n of_o many_o thing_n diverse_a and_o sundry_a excellent_a art_n the_o observation_n and_o experience_n of_o manifold_a act_n and_o exploit_n final_o the_o have_v minister_v unto_o man_n all_o necessary_a furniture_n whereby_o to_o procure_v good_a thing_n and_o to_o ●●●o●●e_v the_o contrary_n wherefore_o then_o shall_v he_o not_o by_o apply_v the_o commodity_n of_o those_o seconndarye_a cause_n to_o himself_o make_v use_n of_o these_o notable_a gift_n of_o god_n five_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o god_n he_o self_n do_v oft_o time_n when_o as_o strange_a and_o unaccustomed_a perrille_n 〈◊〉_d happen_v whereby_o man_n be_v make_v amaze_v and_o perplex_v priu●●ye_n and_o as_o it_o be_v by_o secret_a inspiration_n minister_v convenient_a and_o rare_a likewise_o strange_a and_o unaccustomed_a counsel_n and_o instruction_n by_o which_o the_o woeful_a wight_n be_v almost_o past_a hope_n of_o recovery_n be_v yet_o still_o deliver_v and_o continue_v which_o when_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a case_n that_o this_o be_v god_n will_n that_o we_o shall_v use_v aright_o and_o when_o need_n be_v secondary_a cause_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o order_v and_o dispoze_v they_o all_o at_o his_o pleasure_n six_o this_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n will_v have_v man_n to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o thing_n to_o come_v and_o not_o privy_a to_o his_o dinine_a counsel_n namely_o that_o he_o be_v plunge_v in_o same_o present_a peril_n and_o not_o know_v what_o the_o issue_n of_o it_o will_v be_v may_v learn_v to_o fly_v to_o the_o remedy_n provide_v of_o god_n and_o so_o in_o due_a time_n by_o say_v to_o wait_v for_o god_n help_v effectual_o work_v in_o they_o seventh_o and_o thus_o forsooth_o will_n god_n have_v man_n to_o have_v recourse_n unto_o second_o cause_n wherein_o he_o himself_o woork_v and_o which_o he_o have_v appoint_v to_o certain_a use_n for_o all_o event_n and_o purpose_n insomuch_o that_o he_o account_v him self_o to_o be_v tempt_v with_o great_a reproach_n when_o a_o man_n in_o present_a peril_n refuse_v to_o use_v such_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a remedy_n as_o be_v ready_a and_o at_o hand_n for_o the_o nonce_n so_o if_o thou_o run_v not_o away_o when_o thou_o sée_v thy_o house_n at_o the_o point_n to_o fall_v upon_o thy_o head_n thou_o at_o least_o wise_a be_v able_a and_o god_n have_v give_v thou_o strong_a leg_n and_o foot_n to_o that_o end_n doubtless_o thou_o make_v thyself_o guilty_a of_o sin_n it_o be_v evident_a therefore_o that_o secondary_a cause_n since_o they_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n himself_o and_o the_o necessity_n of_o man_n life_n require_v they_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a to_o be_v neglect_v or_o despise_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n not_o further_o forth_o available_a than_o it_o please_v god_n himself_o to_o work_v in_o they_o and_o so_o we_o may_v see_v oftentimes_o that_o be_v use_v in_o time_n they_o do_v much_o good_a as_o when_o one_o escape_v by_o flight_n another_o be_v holpen_v by_o take_v of_o medicine_n another_o defend_v by_o armour_n and_o weapon_n another_o obtain_n his_o desire_n by_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o be_v short_a some_o other_o escape_v by_o some_o other_o mean_n from_o danger_n either_o present_a or_o imminent_a and_o all_o because_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o work_v together_o with_o those_o secondary_a cause_n again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o see_v oftentimes_o other_o to_o attempt_v all_o the_o like_a thing_n as_o namely_o to_o endever_n to_o save_v themselves_o by_o flight_n to_o call_v for_o the_o phifition_n and_o careful_o to_o obey_v his_o precept_n to_o take_v up_o armour_n and_o weapon_n to_o entreat_v god_n for_o his_o help_n final_o to_o

then_o for_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o put_v to_o his_o help_a hand_n again_o we_o may_v see_v some_o set_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o flame_a fire_n compass_v about_o on_o every_o side_n with_o the_o outcry_n and_o dead_a corpse_n of_o sick_a and_o disease_a person_n beset_v with_o naked_a sword_n flash_v about_o their_o ear_n and_o last_o destitute_a of_o all_o outward_a help_n and_o yet_o when_o they_o least_o think_v of_o any_o such_o matter_n to_o be_v deliver_v and_o all_o this_o forsooth_o because_o the_o lord_n even_o without_o the_o ministry_n of_o secondary_a cause_n

withal_o we_o must_v hold_v this_o that_o god_n dispose_v and_o dispatch_v all_o in_o all_o that_o neither_o fate_n or_o destiny_n can_v stand_v nor_o chance_n or_o fortune_n nor_o contingens_fw-la
