stumble_v of_o his_o enemy_n the_o first_o be_v that_o god_n see_v it_o whereon_o they_o think_v not_o which_o rejoice_v in_o the_o evil_a of_o their_o enemy_n neither_o will_v they_o because_v in_o please_a themselves_o they_o proceed_v with_o a_o evil_a conscience_n bear_v hate_n &_o rancour_n against_o their_o enemy_n &_o because_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o they_o be_v well_o revenge_v of_o they_o when_o they_o see_v that_o the_o evil_a happen_v to_o they_o which_o they_o wish_v for_o and_o therefore_o they_o think_v not_o in_o their_o thought_n that_o god_n see_v they_o although_o it_o be_v so_o for_o all_o thing_n be_v plain_a and_o manifest_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n yea_o afore_o their_o be_v as_o also_o solomon_n know_v well_o but_o he_o say_v lest_o peradventure_o etc._n etc._n for_o they_o which_o set_v not_o god_n before_o their_o eye_n as_o they_o ought_v regard_v not_o the_o care_n and_o providence_n the_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o attribute_v all_o to_o fortune_n and_o chance_n and_o so_o he_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o sense_n
and_o apprehension_n of_o worldling_n and_o carnal_a man_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n know_v all_o our_o thought_n although_o we_o think_v it_o be_v not_o so_o see_v then_o that_o we_o will_v not_o have_v god_n to_o see_v the_o pleasure_n that_o we_o take_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o our_o enemy_n let_v we_o have_v pity_n and_o compassion_n on_o their_o fall_n help_v to_o raise_v they_o up_o again_o asmuch_o as_o we_o can_v the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o such_o joy_n be_v wicked_a in_o the_o lord_n sight_n that_o be_v to_o say_v displease_v he_o for_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o charity_n the_o which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o he_o above_o all_o thing_n as_o he_o show_v it_o well_o when_o he_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v and_o also_o they_o which_o rejoice_v in_o the_o fall_n of_o their_o enemy_n be_v convince_v in_o their_o own_o conscience_n that_o they_o be_v replenish_v with_o hate_n in_o that_o of_o determinate_a malice_n they_o take_v pleasure_n in_o other_o man_n harm_n and_o so_o in_o spite_n of_o their_o head_n they_o condemn_v themselves_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o god_n

of_o his_o enemy_n shall_v be_v confound_v see_v god_n will_v pacify_v he_o &_o raise_v he_o up_o in_o his_o fall_n for_o common_o the_o envious_a which_o rejoice_v in_o the_o harm_n of_o other_o man_n and_o be_v greeve_v at_o their_o prosperity_n be_v confound_v when_o they_o see_v it_o happen_v well_o to_o they_o who_o they_o hate_v for_o the_o rest_n let_v we_o know_v that_o solomon_n show_v we_o here_o somewhat_o that_o adversity_n ruin_n and_o desolation_n come_v to_o man_n because_o of_o their_o sin_n for_o god_n be_v not_o angry_a with_o we_o but_o because_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o turn_v away_o his_o wrath_n he_o pardon_v the_o sin_n note_v we_o also_o that_o see_v he_o turn_v away_o his_o wrath_n from_o he_o at_o who_o harm_n we_o rejoice_v that_o
