england_n or_o ireland_n or_o france_n or_o germany_n or_o spain_n but_o of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v of_o all_o the_o country_n and_o city_n and_o town_n and_o village_n &_o house_n the_o pope_n talk_v of_o his_o kingdom_n how_o many_o province_n be_v under_o his_o dominion_n but_o the_o devil_n circuit_n be_v great_a than_o the_o pope_n one_o will_v think_v that_o he_o can_v never_o tend_v half_a his_o flock_n because_o he_o be_v vicar_n of_o so_o great_a a_o monarchy_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v never_o non_fw-la resident_a you_o may_v see_v his_o step_n every_o where_o so_o brim_n and_o fresh_a as_o though_o they_o be_v print_v in_o ash_n if_o god_n make_v you_o see_v your_o country_n naked_a your_o temple_n desolate_a your_o city_n ruin_v your_o house_n spoil_v you_o will_v say_v the_o spaniard_n have_v be_v here_o so_o when_o you_o see_v your_o mind_n corrupt_v your_o heart_n harden_v your_o will_n pervert_v your_o charity_n cool_v your_o judge_n briber_n your_o ruler_n persecutor_n your_o lawyer_n brabler_n your_o merchant_n usurer_n your_o landlord_n extortioner_n your_o patroness_n symoniste_n your_o pastor_n loiterer_n you_o may_v say_v the_o devil_n have_v be_v here_o see_v then_o these_o weed_n grow_v in_o every_o ground_n you_o may_v bear_v the_o devil_n witness_n that_o he_o do_v compass_v all_o the_o earth_n if_o a_o man_n love_v his_o friend_n he_o will_v say_v i_o will_v go_v a_o hundred_o mile_n to_o do_v he_o good_a but_o if_o the_o devil_n hate_v a_o man_n he_o will_v go_v a_o thousand_o mile_n to_o do_v he_o hurt_v the_o devil_n do_v not_o go_v his_o progress_n like_o a_o king_n only_o for_o delight_n but_o all_o the_o way_n as_o he_o go_v peter_n say_v he_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v the_o devil_n go_v a_o visit_a he_o will_v teach_v the_o sick_a how_o they_o shall_v recover_v their_o health_n he_o will_v whisper_v the_o poor_a how_o they_o shall_v come_v by_o riches_n he_o will_v tell_v the_o captive_n how_o they_o shall_v redeem_v their_o liberty_n but_o to_o devour_v be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o visitation_n therefore_o peter_n call_v he_o a_o lion_n and_o say_v that_o he_o go_v about_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o seek_v as_o he_o go_v at_o last_o he_o say_v to_o devour_v &_o there_o he_o end_v show_v that_o devour_a be_v his_o end_n now_o you_o shall_v hear_v who_o he_o compass_v &_o to_o what_o he_o compass_v &_o how_o he_o compass_v when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o devil_n compass_v the_o earth_n it_o be_v mean_v that_o he_o compass_v the_o man_n of_o the_o earth_n out_o of_o which_o i_o gather_v first_o of_o all_o creature_n he_o compass_v man_n second_o that_o he_o compass_v all_o man_n and_o by_o consequence_n that_o he_o compass_v good_a man_n the_o devil_n be_v like_o a_o archer_n and_o man_n be_v his_o mark_n and_o temptation_n be_v his_o arow_n as_o peter_n be_v call_v a_o fisher_n of_o man_n so_o the_o devil_n may_v be_v call_v a_o hunter_n of_o man_n for_o of_o all_o creature_n his_o envy_n be_v only_o to_o man_n because_o man_n be_v make_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o inherit_v the_o joy_n which_o he_o have_v lose_v therefore_o he_o be_v call_v no_o slear_a but_o a_o manslear_a when_o there_o be_v no_o man_n upon_o earth_n than_o the_o devil_n will_v compass_v the_o earth_n no_o more_o second_o he_o assault_v all_o man_n like_o ishmael_n which_o be_v against_o all_o it_o be_v say_v of_o saul_n and_o david_n saul_n have_v slay_v his_o thousand_o and_o david_n his_o ten_o thousand_o but_o if_o you_o put_v in_o satan_n you_o may_v set_v up_o the_o number_n and_o say_v satan_n have_v slay_v his_o hundred_o thousand_o as_o there_o be_v a_o legion_n of_o man_n so_o there_o be_v a_o legion_n of_o devil_n that_o as_o they_o say_v peter_n angel_n so_o they_o may_v say_v peter_n devil_n for_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v call_v peter_n satan_n if_o satan_n have_v not_o back_v he_o as_o death_n kill_v all_o so_o the_o devil_n tempt_v all_o when_o he_o have_v eve_n he_o hunt_v for_o adam_n when_o he_o have_v adam_n he_o hunt_v for_o cain_n as_o the_o father_n be_v tempt_v so_o must_v the_o son_n as_o the_o mother_n be_v tempt_v so_o must_v her_o daughter_n every_o man_n but_o christ_n may_v say_v i_o have_v be_v overcome_v but_o christ_n himself_o can_v say_v i_o have_v not_o be_v tempt_v in_o the_o spanish_a inquisition_n the_o protestant_n be_v examine_v but_o the_o papist_n slip_v by_o but_o in_o the_o devil_n inquisition_n papist_n and_o protestant_n and_o atheist_n and_o puritan_n &_o all_o be_v examine_v he_o be_v not_o a_o captain_n of_o forty_n nor_o of_o fifty_n nor_o of_o sixty_n nor_o of_o hundred_o but_o he_o be_v general_a over_o all_o which_o fight_v not_o under_o christ_n banner_n he_o possess_v the_o two_o gergesite_n which_o be_v man_n he_o possess_v mary_n which_o be_v a_o woman_n he_o possess_v the_o man_n son_n which_o be_v a_o child_n nimrod_n be_v call_v a_o mighty_a hunter_n which_o kill_v beast_n but_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a hunter_n which_o kill_v nimrod_n himself_o god_n keep_v we_o out_o of_o his_o chase_n three_o he_o war_v against_o the_o righteous_a even_o because_o they_o be_v righteous_a as_o god_n make_v the_o barren_a fruitful_a and_o the_o fruitful_a to_o bear_v more_o fruit_n so_o the_o devil_n will_v have_v they_o serve_v he_o which_o serve_v he_o not_o &_o they_o which_o serve_v he_o to_o serve_v he_o more_o and_o therefore_o as_o the_o giant_n encounter_v with_o david_n so_o the_o devil_n encounter_v with_o david_n and_o with_o david_n lord_n he_o which_o give_v he_o leave_v here_o to_o tempt_v job_n be_v after_o tempt_v himself_o although_o the_o net_n break_v &_o the_o bird_n escape_v yet_o as_o he_o tempt_v christ_n thrice_o together_o and_o as_o he_o desire_v to_o sift_v peter_n more_o than_o other_o so_o they_o that_o follow_v christ_n and_o be_v like_o peter_n be_v sift_v more_o than_o other_o for_o this_o viper_n be_v like_o the_o viper_n which_o cease_v upon_o paul_n among_o many_o which_o stóode_v by_o the_o fire_n the_o viper_n choose_v out_o paul_n &_o light_v upon_o he_o before_o all_o the_o rest_n so_o if_o one_o be_v holy_a than_o another_o this_o viper_n will_v battle_n with_o he_o &_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o the_o godly_a be_v tempt_v more_o than_o the_o wicked_a because_o the_o wicked_a be_v his_o fernant_n and_o do_v tempt_v other_o as_o he_o tempt_v all_o man_n so_o he_o tempt_v to_o all_o sin_n for_o hell_n and_o the_o devil_n be_v alike_o therefore_o as_o hell_n be_v never_o fill_v with_o sinner_n so_o the_o devil_n be_v never_o fill_v with_o sin_n and_o therefore_o when_o thou_o have_v make_v peter_n deny_v his_o master_n once_o he_o make_v he_o deny_v he_o twice_o &_o when_o he_o have_v make_v he_o deny_v he_o twice_o he_o make_v he_o deny_v he_o thrice_o for_o this_o cause_n our_o sin_n be_v count_v among_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v infinite_a because_o the_o devil_n and_o our_o flesh_n meet_v together_o every_o day_n to_o engender_v new_a sin_n all_o the_o devil_n riches_n be_v in_o bait_n he_o have_v a_o packful_a of_o oath_n for_o every_o one_o which_o will_v swear_v a_o pack_n full_a of_o lie_n for_o every_o one_o which_o will_v deceive_v a_o pack_n full_a of_o excuse_n for_o every_o one_o which_o will_v dissemble_v as_o he_o do_v go_v through_o the_o street_n into_o every_o shop_n he_o cast_v a_o short_a measure_n or_o a_o false_a balance_n as_o he_o pass_v by_o the_o tavern_n he_o set_v dissension_n betwixt_o friend_n as_o he_o pass_v by_o every_o inn_n he_o cast_v a_o pair_n of_o card_n and_o a_o pair_n of_o dice_n and_o a_o pair_n of_o table_n as_o he_o pass_v by_o the_o court_n and_o find_v the_o lawyer_n at_o the_o bar_n he_o cast_v among_o they_o false_a evidence_n forge_a writing_n and_o counterfeit_a seal_n thus_o in_o every_o place_n where_o he_o come_v like_o a_o foggy_a mist_n he_o leave_v a_o evil_a savour_n behind_o he_o the_o murmur_a of_o moses_n the_o dissimulation_n of_o abraham_n the_o idolatry_n of_o aaron_n the_o incest_n of_o lot_n the_o drunkenness_n of_o noah_n the_o adultery_n of_o david_n the_o flight_n of_o

hate_n their_o enemy_n and_o friend_n too_o and_o yet_o embrace_v his_o enemy_n because_o he_o kiss_v when_o he_o betray_v as_o though_o he_o will_v not_o betray_v avarice_n say_v i_o will_v make_v
