to_o keep_v they_o from_o stumble_v into_o a_o deadly_a fall_n but_o that_o god_n do_v hold_v they_o back_o by_o affliction_n and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o w●e_n fall_v not_o into_o the_o grave_n be_v that_o god_n afflict_v we_o but_o therewithal_o eliu_n show_v we_o how_o harsh_a this_o medicine_n be_v in_o that_o he_o say_v that_o it_o consume_v our_o flesh_n so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o more_o the_o shape_n of_o man_n but_o be_v like_a unto_o dead_a man_n that_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o our_o bone_n do_v clatter_n without_o and_o we_o can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o take_v breathe_v but_o be_v in_o continual_a torment_fw-mi so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o release_n but_o god_n persecute_v we_o with_o such_o extremity_n as_o we_o can_v no_o more_o thus_o he_o show_v that_o god_n can_v not_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n win_v that_o thing_n at_o man_n hand_n which_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o they_o shall_v know_v themselves_o wretched_a and_o full_a of_o infirmity_n and_o there_o upon_o stoup_n unto_o he_o but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v overcome_v with_o strong_a hand_n and_o continual_a torment_n or_o else_o they_o will_v never_o yield_v and_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o he_o behold_v the_o two_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o bear_v our_o affliction_n patient_o sith_o we_o see_v that_o they_o serve_v we_o for_o medicine_n and_o salve_n be_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n for_o we_o to_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n these_o word_n concern_v not_o only_o the_o bodily_a death_n which_o pass_v away_o but_o also_o by_o a_o similitude_n the_o everlasting_a damnation_n be_v term_v here_o a_o grave_n or_o a_o pit_n then_o be_v we_o ready_a to_o fall_v not_o to_o break_v our_o arm_n or_o our_o leg_n no_o nor_o only_o to_o break_v our_o neck_n but_o also_o to_o perish_v for_o ever_o and_o to_o be_v wipe_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n lo_o to_o what_o state_n our_o pride_n bring_v we_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o flicker_v after_o that_o sort_n in_o the_o air_n and_o think_v we_o have_v any_o strength_n of_o ourselves_o and_o build_v thereupon_o after_o our_o own_o fancy_n i_o say_v so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v possess_v with_o such_o foolish_a presumption_n we_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o stumble_v and_o to_o perish_v but_o god_n have_v pity_n on_o we_o send_v such_o remedy_n as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v convenient_a which_o be_v that_o he_o afflict_v we_o and_o beat_v we_o with_o his_o rod_n if_o we_o grudge_v and_o can_v not_o be_v patient_a when_o god_n do_v so_o chastise_v we_o be_v it_o not_o a_o extreme_a unthankfulness_n not_o to_o suffer_v god_n to_o remedy_v our_o destruction_n &_o to_o draw_v we_o from_o it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o here_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mean_v to_o make_v god_n chasticement_n sweet_a and_o amiable_a to_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v bear_v they_o ▪_o quiet_o when_o they_o be_v send_v we_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n very_o this_o will_v seem_v strange_a too_o fleshe_o reason_n for_o our_o fleshe_o reason_n will_v say_v can_v god_n provide_v no_o better_o mean_v for_o our_o welfare_n than_o by_o torment_v we_o after_o that_o sort_n behove_v it_o he_o to_o send_v we_o to_o death_n that_o he_o may_v call_v we_o unto_o life_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o incredible_a manner_n of_o proceed_v if_o a_o man_n debate_v it_o according_a too_o his_o own_o reason_n and_o he_o will_v think_v it_o but_o a_o foolishness_n that_o god_n shall_v kill_v we_o in_o pardon_v we_o for_o what_o be_v affliction_n sign_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o we_o know_v that_o all_o disease_n be_v the_o messenger_n of_o death_n and_o that_o all_o the_o sorrow_n which_o we_o conceive_v be_v drown_n of_o we_o but_o our_o lord_n send_v we_o sorrow_n sickness_n and_o torment_n and_o hold_v we_o in_o they_o as_o upon_o the_o rack_n till_o we_o can_v no_o more_o and_o till_o we_o faint_a in_o such_o wise_n as_o our_o life_n draw_v to_o the_o grave_n for_o these_o word_n concern_v not_o the_o small_a affliction_n where_o with_o we_o be_v accustom_v but_o they_o concern_v god_n send_v of_o we_o to_o so_o great_a extremity_n as_o there_o remain_v no_o more_o hope_n in_o we_o and_o how_o be_v that_o must_v god_n cast_v we_o into_o the_o bottom_n of_o death_n to_o the_o end_n to_o draw_v we_o out_o again_o but_o so_o work_v he_o and_o we_o must_v not_o plead_v against_o he_o for_o we_o shall_v always_o have_v the_o worse_a end_n of_o the_o staff_n and_o out_o of_o doubt_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o it_o be_v his_o ordinary_a manner_n to_o kill_v before_o he_o quicken_v and_o to_o bring_v to_o the_o grave_n before_o he_o raise_v to_o life_n then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n intend_v here_o to_o exercise_v our_o obedience_n by_o try_v we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a so_o as_o we_o can_v endure_v no_o more_o no_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o draw_v our_o breath_n but_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o choke_v therefore_o when_o our_o lord_n bring_v we_o to_o that_o point_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v whole_o he_o and_o whether_o we_o can_v abide_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o his_o hand_n or_o no._n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v ▪_o when_o we_o be_v tempt_v in_o our_o trouble_n and_o grief_n let_v this_o sentence_n come_v to_o our_o mind_n to_o comfort_v we_o withal_o behold_v it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n in_o bring_v man_n to_o their_o grave_n intend_v to_o draw_v they_o out_o again_o and_o that_o in_o consume_v their_o flesh_n he_o mind_v to_o restore_v it_o again_o and_o that_o in_o torment_v they_o with_o extremity_n he_o purpose_v to_o comfort_v they_o and_o too_o bring_v they_o to_o rest_v see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o take_v hold_n of_o this_o comfort_n and_o let_v it_o suffice_v we_o to_o assuage_v all_o our_o sorrow_n let_v we_o not_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n although_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o be_v utter_o forlorn_a let_v we_o always_o pass_v further_o and_o further_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o doctrine_n and_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o raise_v up_o ourselves_o by_o it_o even_o when_o we_o be_v cast_v down_o into_o hell_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o afterward_o when_o eliu_n make_v so_o long_a a_o description_n of_o god_n chastizement_n it_o be_v to_o show_v we_o how_o dreadful_a his_o wrath_n be_v and_o this_o also_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n for_o we_o for_o which_o of_o we_o think_v of_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n wrath_n as_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n who_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o wrath_n and_o undoubted_o although_o god_n wrath_n be_v a_o fire_n that_o consume_v all_o thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o think_v not_o upon_o it_o but_o overpass_v it_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o in_o sermon_n and_o we_o read_v goodly_a text_n of_o it_o but_o we_o be_v not_o touch_v with_o it_o neither_o do_v any_o man_n rest_n upon_o it_o for_o as_o much_o then_o as_o we_o make_v no_o account_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o take_v it_o to_o be_v but_o as_o a_o sport_n we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o the_o counsel_n that_o be_v give_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n like_v as_o in_o this_o text_n it_o be_v say_v than_z god_n break_v man_n bone_n that_o be_v to_o say_v use_v so_o great_a violence_n as_o there_o remain_v no_o strength_n at_o all_o in_o they_o unconsume_v their_o flesh_n waste_v and_o consume_v away_o so_o as_o there_o remain_v but_o a_o image_n of_o death_n and_o a_o man_n be_v so_o continual_o torment_v as_o he_o be_v like_o a_o dead_a man_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o all_o this_o be_v set_v afore_o we_o but_o it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n to_o waken_v we_o and_o that_o when_o god_n utter_v his_o judgement_n against_o we_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v our_o sin_n we_o shall_v the_o better_o be_v think_v we_o that_o those_o torment_n be_v more_o terrible_a than_o can_v be_v express_v according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v many_o comparison_n in_o that_o behalf_n why_o do_v it_o liken_v god_n to_o a_o lion_n that_o break_v and_o broze_v thing_n with_o his_o tooth_n and_o pluck_v they_o in_o piece_n with_o his_o paw_n it_o be_v not_o to_o attribute_v such_o a_o cruelty_n unto_o god_n as_o be_v not_o convenient_a for_o he_o but_o
seed_n &_o remnant_n of_o people_n in_o the_o world_n that_o shall_v call_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o pure_a heart_n until_o such_o time_n as_o his_o church_n be_v settle_v among_o the_o jew_n ▪_o and_o his_o law_n publish_v in_o writing_n true_a it_o be_v that_o by_o and_o by_o after_o the_o flood_n noah_n child_n be_v corrupt_v i_o mean_v those_o that_o be_v descend_v of_o his_o race_n who_o have_v yet_o the_o fresh_a remembrance_n of_o god_n horrible_a vengeance_n cease_v not_o to_o invent_v many_o superstition_n and_o to_o dissannll_v the_o true_a serve_v of_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v always_o some_o few_o remain_v which_o maintain_v themselves_o in_o the_o say_a pureness_n that_o god_n command_v and_o that_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o god_n may_v continual_o have_v some_o church_n in_o the_o world_n &_o some_o small_a number_n of_o people_n to_o worship_v he_o and_o herwithal_o he_o will_v also_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v turn_v to_o the_o damnation_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n &_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v the_o more_o unexcusable_a we_o know_v that_o man_n labour_v continual_o to_o shroud_v themselves_o under_o the_o covert_n of_o ignorance_n and_o they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o be_v clear_v before_o god_n when_o they_o have_v get_v that_o buckler_n but_o god_n will_v have_v all_o way_n be_v that_o there_o shall_v ever_o be_v some_o small_a number_n of_o people_n to_o serve_v he_o in_o all_o pureness_n &_o the_o same_o have_v evermore_o be_v as_o judge_n of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v turn_v aside_o and_o go_v astray_o from_o the_o right_a way_n so_o have_v it_o also_o be_v concern_v job._n yea_o all_o we_o know_v also_o that_o god_n have_v ordain_v sacrifizing_n even_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n for_o have_v they_o be_v invent_v at_o man_n pleasure_n they_o have_v be_v but_o trifle_n and_o apish_a toy_n which_o god_n will_v have_v reject_v and_o furthermore_o we_o know_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o abel_n be_v prefer_v before_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o cain_n by_o reason_n of_o faith_n but_o if_o abel_n have_v devise_v the_o say_a manner_n of_o sacrifice_v to_o god_n of_o his_o own_o head_n he_o can_v not_o have_v have_v any_o faith_n for_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v that_o god_n do_v le●deus_n and_o govern_v we_o and_o faith_n can_v never_o be_v without_o obedience_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v answerable_a to_o that_o which_o god_n have_v ordain_v so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o have_v be_v ever_o since_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o when_o he_o command_v man_n to_o do_v sacrifice_n unto_o he_o he_o do_v it_o not_o without_o show_v they_o the_o end_n &_o mark_v whereto_o the_o same_o tend_v for_o have_v i_o offer_v but_o the_o brute_n beast_n without_o understanding_n it_o have_v be_v of_o no_o value_n and_o it_o have_v serve_v but_o for_o a_o mockery_n but_o we_o know_v that_o god_n instruct_v those_o that_o be_v he_o unto_o their_o salvation_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o god_n in_o command_v sacrifyze_n do_v also_o show_v the_o true_a use_n of_o they_o &_o how_o they_o may_v profit_v man_n to_o their_o salvation_n and_o this_o be_v to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v know_v themselves_o to_o be_v utter_o unworthy_a to_o come_v near_o he_o and_o that_o they_o have_v deserve_v death_n so_o as_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v themselves_o whole_o blameworthy_a and_o therewithal_o also_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v yet_o some_o mean_n whereby_o to_o reconcile_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o so_o in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o note_v that_o such_o as_o have_v use_v sacrifice_n right_o and_o according_a to_o god_n will_v have_v grant_v themselves_o to_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o death_n in_o case_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v pass_v a_o lawful_a obligation_n or_o bond_n of_o some_o debt_n also_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o saint_n paul_n speak_v to_o the_o colossian_n of_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n term_v they_o obligation_n bond_n and_o handwriting_n which_o serve_v to_o hold_v man_n in_o bondage_n before_o god_n and_o to_o show_v they_o that_o they_o can_v not_o shun_v the_o judgement_n of_o endless_a death_n be_v it_o not_o for_o one_o remedy_n which_o god_n have_v give_v of_o his_o own_o free_a mercy_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n when_o man_n acknowledge_v and_o confess_v themselves_o guilty_a before_o god_n and_o set_v before_o their_o own_o eye_n what_o they_o have_v deserve_v so_o as_o when_o a_o brute_n beast_n be_v slay_v they_o know_v it_o be_v for_o their_o sin_n sake_n lo_o how_o god_n mind_n be_v to_o allure_v man_n to_o lowliness_n herewithal_o it_o be_v his_o will_n also_o to_o nourish_v they_o in_o hope_n that_o although_o they_o be_v wretched_a yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o shall_v be_v one_o sacrifice_v offer_v whereby_o their_o sin_n shall_v be_v wash_v away_o behold_v how_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n use_v their_o sacrifice_n and_o hereupon_o the_o heathen_a ●olke_n have_v do_v the_o like_a but_o that_o have_v be_v without_o faith_n because_o they_o know_v not_o the_o god_n unto_o who_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v the_o honour_n &_o on_o the_o other_o side_n they_o know_v not_o what_o service_n be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v no_o sure_a ground_n to_o stand_v upon_o to_o be_v short_a they_o know_v not_o neither_o to_o what_o end_n nor_o to_o what_o purpose_n they_o make_v sacrifice_v by_o reason_n whereof_o all_o be_v do_v at_o adventure_n as_o they_o say_v and_o so_o be_v it_o but_o a_o needless_a labour_n special_o for_o asmuch_o as_o god_n hate_v and_o abhor_v all_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v make_v without_o knowledge_n and_o faith_n true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v solemnity_n enough_o in_o they_o but_o that_o avail_v nothing_o for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o behove_v always_o to_o hold_v the_o rule_n which_o the_o apostl_n give_v we_o namely_o that_o the_o outward_a sacrifice_n boot_n not_o at_o all_o furtherforth_o than_o they_o be_v ground_v upon_o obedience_n unto_o god_n and_o to_o his_o word_n and_o true_a it_o be_v that_o job_n have_v not_o the_o law_n write_v but_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o that_o he_o have_v the_o doctrine_n that_o come_v from_o god_n and_o which_o no_n have_v give_v unto_o his_o child_n those_o that_o have_v persevere_v in_o the_o same_o be_v not_o teach_v it_o by_o man_n but_o although_o they_o hear_v the_o doctrine_n by_o man_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o hold_v the_o rule_n thereof_o as_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o they_o that_o god_n give_v they_o knowledge_n of_o his_o will_n without_o use_v the_o mean_a of_o prophet_n as_o he_o do_v afterward_o we_o see_v here_o then_o that_o job_n sacrifice_n be_v not_o make_v at_o all_o adventure_n but_o upon_o a_o assure_a and_o ground_a faith_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o no_o after_o the_o flood_n take_v of_o the_o clean_a beast_n to_o sacrifice_v thereby_o we_o see_v he_o have_v instruction_n from_o heaven_n for_o it_o lay_v not_o in_o he_o to_o discern_v between_o beast_n and_o beast_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v say_v among_o these_o i_o see_v some_o that_o be_v pure_a &_o clean_a and_o the_o residue_n be_v unclean_a needs_o must_v god_n have_v teach_v he_o that_o even_o so_o also_o be_v it_o with_o job_n who_o make_v not_o sacrifice_v for_o that_o he_o be_v the_o only_a deviser_n of_o it_o ▪_o but_o he_o yield_v himself_o to_o god_n will_v whereby_o he_o be_v guide_v &_o govern_v &_o that_o be_v the_o property_n of_o faith_n according_a as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o hereupon_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v first_o that_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n god_n have_v in_o such_o wise_a suffer_v man_n to_o go_v on_o in_o darkness_n that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v leave_v they_o certain_a record_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v convict_v of_o their_o cursedness_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o outward_a ceremony_n it_o be_v full_o enough_o to_o condemn_v the_o unbeliever_n furthermore_o we_o see_v also_o how_o man_n be_v whole_o give_v to_o evil_a in_o so_o much_o as_o they_o pervert_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a and_o when_o god_n have_v declare_v his_o will_n unto_o they_o they_o turn_v it_o altogether_o backward_o and_o to_o the_o flat_a contrary_n for_o asmuch_o then_n as_o we_o see_v man_n so_o fleeting_a and_o unconstant_a we_o may_v perceive_v that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o keep_v we_o in_o awe_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v we_o to_o step_v aside_o from_o the_o pureness_n of_o his_o

how_o god_n have_v apply_v himself_o unto_o we_o by_o the_o way_n we_o have_v to_o gather_v chief_o how_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o show_v what_o satan_n office_n be_v what_o his_o nature_n be_v and_o where_o about_o he_o busy_v and_o apply_v himself_o altogether_o which_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v to_o hunt_v after_o his_o prey_n without_o cease_v like_o a_o

we_o against_o all_o the_o assault_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o against_o all_o that_o he_o can_v practice_v against_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o see_v not_o satan_n ne_o perceive_v not_o by_o

the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o our_o fight_n be_v not_o against_o flesh_n and_o blood_n for_o hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o if_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o visible_a enemy_n we_o may_v well_o escape_v their_o hand_n by_o some_o shift_n or_o other_o and_o we_o may_v find_v the_o mean_a to_o resist_v they_o but_o behold_v say_v he_o they_o be_v spiritual_a guile_n that_o fight_v against_o we_o of_o who_o we_o have_v no_o sight_n at_o all_o except_o god_n give_v we_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n to_o espy_v how_o satan_n be_v against_o we_o special_o by_o the_o temptation_n that_o he_o triumph_v in_o our_o way_n whereby_o he_o egg_v we_o to_o evil_a and_o labour_v to_o mar_v we_o so_o then_o we_o musteful_o resolve_v ourselves_o of_o this_o point_n namely_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v always_o buzy_a to_o procure_v our_o destruction_n that_o they_o go_v about_o the_o earth_n that_o they_o be_v never_o away_o from_o we_o that_o they_o be_v ever_o seek_v mean_n to_o get_v into_o we_o and_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o find_v never_o so_o small_a a_o breach_n they_o enter_v into_o we_o to_o throw_v we_o into_o endless_a destruction_n and_o we_o be_v surprise_v before_o we_o mistrust_v that_o we_o be_v assail_v according_a as_o every_o man_n know_v by_o experience_n that_o we_o perceive_v not_o when_o the_o devil_n be_v near_o we_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o see_v ourselves_o wound_v to_o death_n wherefore_o when_o we_o feel_v any_o wicked_a desire_n in_o ourselves_o so_o as_o we_o be_v carry_v some_o to_o one_o lewd_a ●ust_z &_o some_o to_o another_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o it_o be_v the_o enemy_n that_o work_v so_o crafty_o and_o thus_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o devil_n be_v ever_o practise_v against_o we_o special_o against_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n for_o although_o the_o devil_n possess_v the_o wicked_a and_o reprobate_n and_o work_v in_o they_o with_o all_o

they_o be_v so_o bewitch_v in_o evil_a as_o they_o feel_v it_o not_o a_o whit_n for_o they_o be_v become_v blockish_a as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o another_o place_n but_o when_o the_o faithful_a

&_o take_v heed_n to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v for_o god_n show_v the_o care_n which_o he_o have_v of_o we_o and_o how_o it_o be_v not_o his_o will_n we_o shall_v be_v take_v unwares_o for_o want_n of_o know_v our_o adversary_n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n go_v about_o the_o earth_n continual_o hunt_v after_o their_o prey_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v tell_v we_o that_o enemy_n be_v at_o

thereupon_o he_o himself_o may_v be_v glorify_v against_o satan_n in_o our_o person_n and_o sure_o the_o honour_n be_v inestimable_a which_o god_n do_v unto_o we_o when_o he_o choose_v we_o i_o say_v when_o he_o choose_v we_o poor_a worm_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v glorify_v in_o we_o against_o satan_n and_o to_o make_v his_o triumph_n by_o we_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o a_o thing_n this_o be_v towards_o man_n alas_o and_o can_v god_n draw_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o man_n that_o may_v serve_v to_o his_o glory_n it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o he_o can_v for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o evil_n but_o what_o then_o after_o that_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o he_o shed_v out_o his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o we_o and_o give_v we_o of_o his_o grace_n where_o through_o it_o

like_v as_o god_n spite_v satan_n in_o the_o person_n of_o job_n so_o also_o have_v we_o wherewith_o to_o spite_v all_o our_o enemy_n when_o this_o protection_n of_o god_n be_v well_o print_v in_o

any_o more_o but_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o they_o once_o for_o all_o it_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o god_n will_v continual_o increase_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o that_o if_o we_o

do_v guide_v we_o unto_o this_o one_o mark_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o in_o the_o end_n our_o salvation_n shall_v be_v perfect_v and_o full_a god_n as_o now_o give_v we_o a_o little_a taste_n of_o

we_o receive_v in_o this_o world_n aught_o to_o give_v we_o a_o more_o large_a and_o high_a expectation_n of_o god_n goodness_n the_o which_o be_v show_v now_o in_o part_n and_o not_o all_o whole_o

natural_a sense_n such_o as_o it_o be_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o according_a as_o the_o misery_n be_v infinite_a wherewith_o god_n scourge_v we_o in_o this_o world_n so_o must_v our_o hope_n

how_o our_o poor_a life_n be_v besiege_v with_o so_o many_o sort_n of_o adversity_n as_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o the_o thing_n then_o that_o be_v declare_v to_o we_o in_o effect_n be_v that_o

for_o we_o see_v what_o the_o superstition_n of_o man_n be_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o they_o distribute_v god_n office_n unto_o other_o because_o that_o too_o their_o seem_n they_o can_v not_o

too_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o ague_n another_o too_o have_v the_o keep_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o a_o third_o too_o have_v rule_n of_o such_o a_o disease_n and_o why_o be_v it_o

he_o be_v not_o able_a too_o intend_v too_o so_o many_o thing_n at_o once_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v better_a that_o each_o several_a office_n be_v commit_v too_o a_o several_a saint_n or_o else_o to_o two_o or_o three_o of_o they_o and_o so_o consequent_o that_o the_o like_a shall_v be_v do_v too_o this_o saint_n and_o that_o saint_n behold_v how_o man_n tear_v god_n majesty_n in_o piece_n

from_o death_n but_o also_o have_v way_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o when_o we_o be_v afflict_v on_o the_o one_o side_n god_n will_v on_o other_o side_n make_v we_o feel_v that_o we_o

that_o such_o as_o be_v strong_a enough_o too_o endure_v some_o one_o adversity_n will_v immediate_o be_v overcome_v of_o some_o other_o temptation_n as_o for_o example_n a_o man_n shall_v find_v

that_o we_o shall_v have_v this_o or_o that_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n pity_v we_o in_o consideration_n that_o we_o be_v so_o frail_a and_o

no_o further_a knowledge_n but_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o god_n justice_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o rest_v there_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o job_n speak_v of_o

be_v we_o desirous_a i_o say_v too_o taste_v what_o the_o heavenly_a life_n be_v first_o we_o must_v know_v too_o what_o end_n we_o be_v bear_v yea_o even_o according_a as_o we_o be_v sinner_n in_o

into_o this_o world_n and_o be_v as_o noble_a and_o excellent_a creature_n of_o god_n as_o any_o can_v be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o by_o mean_n of_o sin_n death_n have_v as_o it_o be_v abolish_v and_o raze_v out_o that_o nobleness_n in_o so_o much_o that_o god_n mislike_v we_o and_o disclaim_v we_o as_o though_o his_o hand_n have_v not_o fashion_v we_o because_o we_o be_v disfigure_v and_o the_o devil_n have_v set_v his_o mark_n and_o stamp_n upon_o we_o and_o furthermore_o be_v subject_n too_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v pronounce_v upon_o adam_n we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o banish_v out_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o as_o there_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n but_o it_o abhor_v we_o this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o ourselves_o but_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o that_o battle_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v confound_v utter_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o man_n stand_v so_o much_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n be_v for_o that_o they_o can_v bethink_v they_o of_o god_n justice_n as_o they_o ought_v too_o do_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o come_v too_o that_o point_n howbeit_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v how_o wretched_a our_o life_n be_v and_o that_o death_n be_v yet_o more_o wretched_a because_o it_o be_v the_o great_a gulf_n that_o serve_v too_o show_v we_o of_o what_o importance_n the_o curse_n be_v which_o god_n pronounce_v against_o we_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n i_o say_v when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o we_o must_v also_o beware_v that_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o swallow_v up_o of_o heaviness_n and_o what_o remedy_n be_v there_o the_o remedy_n be_v to_o turn_v our_o eye_n too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o mean_a whereby_o god_n enlighten_v we_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n be_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o who_o we_o have_v the_o true_a daysun_n of_o righteousness_n now_o than_o if_o we_o have_v that_o regard_n with_o we_o no_o death_n can_v be_v dreadful_a unto_o we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o david_n say_v that_o god_n sheephooj_n shall_v comfort_v he_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o in_o the_o darkness_n when_o as_o he_o speak_v of_o god_n sheephooj_v he_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o nothing_o so_o long_o as_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n towards_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v he_o show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n but_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o then_o let_v we_o first_o consider_v of_o what_o mind_n job_n speak_v here_o he_o know_v that_o if_o man_n be_v consider_v in_o themselves_o it_o be_v their_o very_a nature_n to_o have_v nothing_o else_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o confusion_n both_o in_o their_o life_n and_o in_o their_o death_n howbeit_o see_v we_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n although_o our_o state_n seem_v never_o so_o wretched_a insomuch_o that_o we_o be_v but_o as_o poor_a worm_n subject_a too_o corruption_n and_o rottenness_n yet_o come_v we_o too_o the_o taste_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n give_v we_o when_o he_o make_v light_a to_o issue_v out_o of_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o god_n turn_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_a see_v we_o know_v this_o we_o have_v too_o rejoice_v in_o that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o only_a son_n he_o have_v cause_v his_o goodness_n and_o grace_n to_o shine_v forth_o in_o our_o death_n yea_o even_o more_o than_o in_o our_o life_n for_o when_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o dungeon_n and_o gulf_n of_o hell_n then_o do_v god_n open_v we_o the_o gate_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o even_o then_o he_o make_v we_o too_o enter_v into_o the_o dwell_a place_n whereoutof_o we_o be_v now_o after_o a_o sort_n banish_v and_o christ_n enlighten_v we_o not_o only_o in_o death_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o darkness_n which_o be_v

how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a light_n for_o we_o both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n so_o we_o look_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o we_o must_v

upon_o fortune_n that_o say_v i_o be_v the_o point_n whereat_o we_o ought_v to_o begin_v namely_o at_o the_o have_v of_o the_o full_a assuredness_n of_o god_n providence_n and_o then_o apply_v the_o

it_o be_v to_o none_o other_o end_n but_o to_o entangle_v themselves_o in_o such_o speculation_n as_o be_v so_o gross_a that_o it_o be_v pity_n to_o see_v they_o &_o they_o bring_v no_o edification_n at_o all_o they_o can_v well_o enough_o say_v god_n change_v &_o god_n remove_v but_o what_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v edify_v in_o his_o fear_n but_o the_o very_a truth_n be_v that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v too_o we_o of_o god_n providence_n the_o intent_n of_o it_o be_v that_o thereby_o we_o shall_v know_v his_o mighty_a power_n and_o in_o what_o wise_n know_v

he_o see_v he_o have_v all_o authority_n over_o we_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o scripture_n show_v we_o that_o god_n be_v wise_a in_o govern_v the_o world_n according_a as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o then_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o say_v god_n do_v what_o he_o list_v and_o we_o wot_v not_o whither_o it_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a but_o contrariwise_o we_o must_v confess_v that_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o do_v be_v well_o do_v and_o although_o we_o know_v not_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o yet_o must_v we_o honour_v his_o secret_a wisdom_n and_o in_o conclusion_n we_o must_v

when_o thing_n be_v manifest_a behold_v god_n bless_v a_o people_n and_o wherefore_o even_o for_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n sake_n we_o must_v not_o seek_v for_o any_o desert_n in_o man_n when_o

that_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v come_v home_o again_o you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n we_o may_v fare_v the_o better_a by_o god_n providence_n according_a as_o it_o be_v show_v we_o in_o

to_o reserve_v some_o judgement_n to_o the_o latter_a day_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o first_o let_v we_o mark_v as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n or_o the_o

nothing_o in_o they_o but_o hypocrisy_n may_v well_o prosper_v for_o a_o time_n and_o we_o see_v it_o yea_o and_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o be_v well_o acquaint_v &_o enure_v with_o it_o

also_o this_o be_v it_o that_o david_n stand_v upon_o in_o the._n 37._o psalm_n for_o how_o exhort_v he_o we_o not_o too_o repine_v at_o the_o ungodly_a when_o we_o see_v they_o triumph_v after_o

too_o have_v have_v the_o ease_n of_o this_o world_n &_o that_o it_o be_v a_o joy_n of_o no_o continuance_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n do_v sometime_o bear_v up_o his_o servant_n in_o their_o

to_o support_v we_o after_o a_o sort_n but_o that_o be_v not_o always_o neither_o must_v we_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n of_o it_o as_o baldad_n do_v for_o if_o we_o say_v that_o god_n will_v

when_o we_o have_v eschew_v the_o shame_n of_o the_o world_n we_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n ought_v not_o too_o stir_v our_o filthiness_n nor_o too_o discover_v it_o but_o let_v we_o

that_o the_o holy_a ▪_o ghost_n do_v so_o often_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n will_v judge_v after_o another_o fashion_n than_o mortal_a man_n do_v now_o adays_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o
