be_v so_o flightful_a we_o ought_v to_o have_v death_n always_o before_o our_o eye_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v make_v haste_n thitherward_o and_o not_o be_v attach_v with_o fearfulness_n when_o

for_o see_v how_o he_o comfort_v we_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v load_v with_o the_o burden_n &_o with_o the_o corruptible_a weight_n of_o the_o body_n we_o have_v say_v he_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o our_o true_a life_n and_o by_o his_o power_n we_o shall_v one_o day_n be_v full_o restore_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o such_o as_o think_v upon_o

it_o that_o i_o touch_v not_o long_o since_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o have_v single_o perceive_v that_o our_o life_n be_v nothing_o our_o so_o do_v will_v not_o great_o boot_n we_o why_o so_o for_o it_o will_v but_o make_v we_o dismay_v but_o if_o we_o will_v take_v courage_n we_o must_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o both_o the_o point_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o necessity_n that_o be_v in_o we_o until_o we_o draw_v never_o unto_o our_o god_n we_o must_v mourn_v and_o not_o do_v as_o the_o worldling_n do_v who_o be_v drunken_a in_o their_o pomp_n pleasure_n or_o riches_n do_v witting_o and_o willing_o mock_v and_o beguile_v themselves_o but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v we_o must_v cast_v away_o all_o these_o kind_n of_o blindfolding_n and_o open_v

much_o the_o more_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n and_o to_o advise_v ourselves_o well_o that_o we_o plead_v not_o against_o god_n when_o he_o afflict_v we_o for_o sear_v lest_o

that_o can_v be_v and_o that_o he_o have_v lever_n be_v hang_v than_o to_o be_v in_o such_o case_n and_o how_o so_o those_o be_v the_o word_n of_o a_o man_n in_o despair_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v

to_o the_o feel_n of_o the_o sorrow_n that_o pinch_v he_o hereupon_o then_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o if_o god_n have_v not_o spare_v his_o servant_n job_n it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v torment_v as_o he_o be_v true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n know_v what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v will_v not_o suffer_v the_o temptation_n to_o be_v so_o great_a as_o they_o have_v be_v

as_o many_o help_n to_o our_o salvation_n
much_o the_o more_o must_v we_o mark_v this_o lesson_n which_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o that_o point_n which_o we_o will_v not_o come_v at_o by_o our_o good_a will_n â–ª_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o know_v that_o god_n take_v we_o out_o of_o mire_n and_o dirt_n behold_v what_o we_o be_v let_v man_n go_v vaunt_v themselves_o and_o say_v they_o have_v some_o worthiness_n and_o virtue_n in_o they_o yet_o must_v they_o be_v fain_o in_o the_o end_n to_o know_v that_o it_o be_v but_o dirt_n and_o mire_n and_o will_v not_o this_o serve_v to_o make_v we_o itoupe_v we_o must_v return_v too_o the_o

sith_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o record_v this_o lesson_n â–ª_o oftentimes_o that_o we_o may_v shrink_v in_o our_o horn_n and_o not_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o vain_a overween_a as_o most_o man_n be_v but_o take_v ourselves_o too_o be_v behold_v unto_o god_n for_o all_o that_o we_o have_v and_o hold_v it_o of_o he_o and_o do_v he_o homage_n for_o it_o without_o lift_v of_o

must_v return_v the_o thing_n be_v meet_o common_a of_o itself_o howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o practice_v it_o so_o slight_o therefore_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v often_o of_o it_o furthermore_o on_o our_o part_n also_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o consider_v god_n infinite_a goodness_n towards_o we_o better_o than_o we_o have_v do_v because_o we_o be_v so_o defile_v for_o if_o we_o

heavenly_a substance_n to_o take_v man_n out_o of_o true_o we_o may_v have_v cause_n to_o say_v that_o our_o beginning_n be_v honourable_a and_o thereby_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n shall_v also_o be_v somewhat_o disgrace_v but_o when_o man_n bethink_v they_o of_o dirt_n &_o mire_n who_o will_v regard_v that_o behold_v a_o thing_n that_o import_v reproach_n man_n will_v scarce_o vouchsafe_v too_o cast_v their_o eye_n upon_o mire_n if_o we_o have_v any_o dirt_n hang_v about_o we_o yea_o even_o upon_o the_o hem_n of_o our_o garment_n we_o be_v defile_v if_o we_o have_v it_o on_o our_o hand_n we_o can_v abide_v that_o but_o if_o we_o have_v it_o on_o our_o face_n that_o mislike_v we_o worst_a of_o all_o and_o yet_o what_o be_v we_o we_o be_v all_o whole_o of_o clay_n we_o have_v not_o so_o

from_o whence_o they_o come_v they_o ought_v to_o cast_v down_o their_o head_n and_o utter_o to_o abase_v themselves_o and_o again_o consider_v who_o they_o be_v and_o to_o what_o state_n and_o

upon_o ourselves_o let_v these_o two_o thing_n come_v to_o our_o remembrance_n namely_o the_o matter_n where_o of_o we_o be_v make_v that_o the_o same_o may_v rid_v we_o of_o all_o pride_n and_o

you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v for_o the_o first_o place_n and_o hereupon_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o too_o consider_v what_o job_n add_v here_o when_o he_o say_v â–ª_o thou_o have_v pour_v i_o out_o like_a milk_n thou_o have_v fashion_v i_o like_o a_o cheese_n in_o set_v i_o together_o and_o thou_o have_v clothe_v i_o with_o skin_n and_o bone_n true_o his_o phrase_n of_o speech_n

for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o man_n must_v be_v abase_v be_v they_o never_o so_o loath_a or_o else_o they_o will_v always_o be_v so_o puff_v up_o with_o pride_n as_o they_o can_v never_o

shall_v withdraw_v his_o grace_n and_o quite_o separate_v himself_o from_o we_o man_n will_v never_o come_v so_o far_o but_o by_o force_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o be_v bring_v to_o this_o mire_n and_o dirt_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o which_o be_v subtle_a that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o ween_v themselves_o to_o be_v wise_a in_o their_o own_o

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

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

go_v to_o he_o bear_v with_o they_o and_o forgive_v they_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o will_v afflict_v we_o for_o some_o other_o cause_n as_o befall_v unto_o job._n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o wretched_a sinner_n &_o that_o god_n according_a to_o his_o law_n may_v have_v punish_v he_o extreme_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v no_o such_o respect_n we_o have_v

or_o because_o he_o have_v live_v naughty_o no_o god_n have_v no_o such_o respect_n with_o he_o what_o then_o he_o intend_v that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o mirror_n to_o all_o man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o behold_v he_o we_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o know_v that_o god_n hand_n be_v too_o heavy_a for_o we_o to_o bear_v &_o also_o consider_v our_o own_o frailty_n

all_o of_o we_o abide_v shame_n and_o confusion_n for_o this_o cause_n it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o borrow_v a_o righteousness_n that_o god_n may_v like_v and_o allow_v which_o thing_n be_v do_v when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n clothe_v we_o with_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o the_o same_o be_v allow_v we_o before_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o become_v righteous_a by_o

there_o shall_v some_o fear_n of_o god_n lie_v hide_v in_o they_o which_o be_v as_o good_a as_o choke_v well_o then_o such_o manner_n of_o folk_n have_v more_o simplicity_n than_o craftiness_n and_o

take_v unmeasurable_a liberty_n to_o follow_v all_o evil_n of_o set_a purpose_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o crafty_a or_o subtle_a folk_n of_o who_o eliphas_n make_v mention_n in_o this_o strain_v be_v not_o such_o as_o do_v amiss_o through_o ignorance_n and_o oversight_n but_o such_o as_o wilful_o and_o of_o set_a purpose_n make_v none_o account_v of_o god_n nor_o of_o the_o handle_n of_o

such_o kind_n of_o folk_n say_v curse_v be_v you_o that_o make_v you_o lurkinghole_n for_o he_o use_v that_o similitude_n inspeak_v of_o these_o suttleheaded_a folk_n which_o bear_v themselves_o in_o

fear_n of_o god_n for_o mark_v whereat_o they_o begin_v if_o we_o be_v so_o bridle_v say_v they_o that_o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o word_n of_o scripture_n for_o a_o thing_n we_o must_v yield_v

what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o be_v compel_v to_o yield_v such_o authority_n too_o god_n word_n as_o it_o may_v not_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o ask_v how_o the_o case_n stand_v these_o politic_a head_n therefore_o which_o be_v so_o desirous_a to_o work_v wile_n with_o god_n begin_v at_o this_o point_n namely_o of_o take_v leave_n to_o keep_v man_n from_o see_v what_o the_o thing_n be_v that_o man_n call_v god_n word_n to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o mouth_n shall_v be_v tungty_v &_o that_o man_n may_v raze_v it_o out_o quite_o and_o clean_o and_o when_o they_o be_v once_o enter_v into_o that_o doubt_n afterward_o they_o harden_v themselves_o in_o it_o and_o good_a reason_n it_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v leave_v they_o there_o and_o that_o satan_n shall_v carry_v they_o headlong_o and_o when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o that_o point_n they_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o blear_a out_o their_o tongue_n against_o all_o doctrine_n there_o be_v no_o more_o grief_n nor_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n in_o they_o but_o to_o be_v short_a they_o be_v bereave_v of_o all_o humanity_n and_o become_v brutish_a thus_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o those_o who_o god_n have_v leave_v at_o that_o point_n shall_v ever_o return_v to_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o hold_v ourselves_o strait_o in_o subjection_n unto_o god_n to_o bear_v such_o reverence_n to_o his_o word_n as_o we_o may_v shun_v and_o utter_o abhor_v and_o detest_v the_o slight_n and_o subtlety_n wherein_o the_o wicked_a

the_o grace_n of_o god_n if_o it_o please_v our_o lord_n we_o shall_v be_v feed_v though_o there_o want_v bread_n drink_n &_o meat_n according_a as_o he_o say_v he_o will_v feed_v those_o that_o be_v

to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o it_o &_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o have_v neither_o strength_n nor_o sustenance_n but_o by_o the_o spread_a out_o of_o god_n goodness_n upon_o we_o which_o

upon_o that_o furthermore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a to_o be_v strong_a let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o last_v ever_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o

let_v we_o mark_v here_o that_o this_o word_n the_o firstborn_a of_o death_n carry_v in_o it_o a_o great_a force_n when_o a_o man_n be_v hold_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o rack_n and_o that_o god_n

what_o must_v be_v do_v then_o let_v every_o man_n dispose_v himself_o to_o die_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n do_v we_o a_o inestimable_a grace_n in_o voutchsafe_v to_o deliver_v we_o from_o

that_o be_v in_o it_o and_o here_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n wherein_o we_o differ_v from_o the_o unbeliever_n be_v that_o although_o both_o of_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o pass_v through_o

all_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v see_v in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o say_v i_o believe_v in_o god_n because_o he_o maintain_v i_o because_o he_o give_v i_o health_n and_o because_o he_o nourish_v i_o but_o i_o believe_v in_o god_n because_o he_o have_v give_v i_o heretofore_o some_o taste_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o power_n in_o have_v a_o care_n of_o this_o body_n which_o be_v but_o rottenness_n so_o as_o i_o see_v he_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n in_o that_o i_o have_v a_o be_v through_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n i_o believe_v in_o he_o alone_o

thus_o you_o see_v what_o our_o belief_n must_v be_v if_o it_o be_v well_o rule_v and_o if_o we_o be_v once_o so_o well_o dispose_v we_o may_v say_v with_o job_n well_o very_o i_o see_v my_o body_n must_v go_v too_o decay_n look_v what_o freshness_n soever_o be_v in_o it_o it_o diminish_v day_n by_o day_n and_o i_o need_v not_o too_o go_v far_o too_o seek_v death_n for_o i_o see_v not_o so_o small_a a_o infirmity_n in_o my_o flesh_n but_o the_o same_o be_v to_o i_o a_o messenger_n of_o death_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v see_v my_o god_n if_o we_o can_v speak_v so_o when_o we_o see_v that_o our_o strength_n droup_v and_o vanish_v away_o by_o little_a and_o little_a that_o although_o it_o please_v god_n to_o smite_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o shall_v in_o manner_n rot_v above_o the_o ground_n as_o job_n do_v for_o he_o say_v that_o his_o skin_n be_v wormeaten_v &_o consume_v and_o he_o be_v as_o good_a as_o dead_a and_o yet_o he_o protest_v that_o he_o will_v not_o cease_v look_v unto_o his_o god_n yet_o shall_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o trust_v in_o god_n still_o after_o the_o example_n of_o job._n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o

say_v if_o we_o consider_v well_o to_o what_o end_n he_o have_v create_v we_o and_o still_o maintain_v we_o in_o the_o world_n furthermore_o when_o job_n say_v that_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o redeemer_n in_o his_o flesh_n his_o meaning_n be_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v restore_v to_o a_o new_a state_n though_o his_o skin_n be_v so_o eat_v as_o it_o be_v for_o he_o say_v express_o that_o his_o bone_n shall_v be_v consume_v and_o nothing_o of_o he_o shall_v remain_v whole_a and_o afterward_o he_o add_v i_o shall_v set_v god_n in_o my_o flesh_n and_o how_o shall_v he_o see_v he_o in_o his_o flesh_n â–ª_o that_o be_v to_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v set_v in_o my_o former_a state_n and_o see_v my_o god_n yet_o again_o and_o so_o he_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v able_a enough_o too_o set_v he_o up_o again_o although_o he_o be_v utter_o consume_v and_o plunge_v into_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o condition_n whereupon_o we_o must_v trust_v in_o god_n be_v that_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v lay_v we_o in_o our_o grave_n we_o shall_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n to_o lift_v we_o out_o again_o therefore_o let_v we_o say_v i_o trust_v in_o god_n because_o i_o see_v he_o assist_v i_o and_o fail_v i_o not_o in_o any_o thing_n but_o when_o god_n fail_v we_o and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v estrange_v

and_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o exclude_v the_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n and_o say_v that_o it_o help_v we_o no_o more_o and_o that_o we_o will_v believe_v nothing_o that_o be_v therein_o contain_v but_o that_o we_o will_v believe_v our_o own_o eye_n be_v not_o this_o as_o much_o as_o to_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o god_n and_o too_o estrange_v we_o from_o his_o school_n to_o be_v no_o more_o his_o scholar_n be_v it_o to_o be_v marvel_v if_o after_o this_o man_n become_v so_o mad_a that_o a_o man_n can_v do_v no_o more_o good_a with_o they_o but_o the_o devil_n possess_v they_o and_o

where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wicked_a be_v reserve_v to_o the_o day_n of_o his_o destruction_n to_o be_v brief_a when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a here_o to_o be_v at_o their_o ease_n and_o

the_o wicked_a which_o be_v unknown_a unto_o we_o we_o must_v also_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o everlasting_a rest_n for_o the_o godly_a god_n then_o give_v we_o already_o a_o declaration_n of_o

of_o the_o ancient_a father_n we_o have_v afar_o better_a recompense_n which_o ought_v to_o comfort_v we_o for_o example_n let_v we_o take_v but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v say_v concern_v long_a

that_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n know_v not_o yet_o so_o perfect_o as_o we_o do_v that_o god_n have_v prepare_v they_o a_o heritage_n in_o heaven_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v some_o

adays_o our_o life_n be_v short_a and_o that_o be_v because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o and_o have_v show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v but_o stranger_n in_o this_o world_n that_o we_o may_v run_v to_o the_o heritage_n which_o be_v purchase_v by_o his_o blood_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v then_o but_o in_o shadow_n be_v too_o be_v confirm_v by_o visible_a benefit_n but_o now_o we_o

whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o of_o job_n and_o abraham_n that_o they_o die_v old_a

such_o other_o like_o will_v ever_o have_v be_v satisfy_v with_o live_v in_o this_o world_n if_o they_o have_v not_o amed_z at_o a_o better_a and_o more_o excellent_a end_n you_o see_v they_o how_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v prolong_v their_o life_n to_o the_o end_n to_o give_v they_o the_o long_a experience_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o now_o so_o

dispose_v ourselves_o to_o die_v when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v go_v hence_o with_o a_o glad_a heart_n &_o not_o with_o gnash_v of_o our_o tooth_n as_o the_o unbeliever_n do_v for_o if_o they_o have_v live_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o year_n yet_o will_v they_o fain_o tarry_v here_o beneath_o still_o for_o they_o have_v none_o other_o hope_v but_o of_o this_o present_a life_n &_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o death_n dispatch_v all_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o be_v never_o ready_a to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n contrariwise_o the_o father_n of_o

to_o take_v knowledge_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n thereby_o for_o if_o you_o live_v but_o three_o day_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o give_v we_o a_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n &_o
