worship_n god_n as_o we_o have_v at_o the_o first_o final_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o trouble_n or_o grief_n where_o from_o we_o may_v think_v ourselves_o free_a that_o we_o shall_v not_o therewith_o be_v assail_v wherefore_o that_o constancy_n of_o mind_n and_o stability_n and_o patience_n be_v require_v of_o we_o that_o unto_o the_o very_a end_n we_o have_v our_o hand_n ready_a to_o

answer_n that_o we_o be_v so_o in_o it_o that_o we_o must_v come_v more_o near_o and_o enter_v daily_o into_o it_o truth_n it_o be_v that_o we_o daily_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n but_o we_o

apply_v this_o to_z the_o practice_n of_o the_o life_n &_o as_o satan_n be_v ever_o busy_a to_o let_v &_o trouble_v all_o they_o which_o will_v go_v unto_o god_n so_o let_v every_o man_n confirm_v

faint_v or_o weariness_n be_v so_o diligent_a to_o turn_v back_o our_o journey_n &_o to_o drive_v we_o from_o our_o course_n begin_v towards_o god_n much_o less_o ought_v we_o to_o lose_v our_o

consider_v a_o little_a what_o be_v his_o state_n he_o be_v the_o king_n son_n in_o law_n one_o of_o the_o chief_a prince_n of_o judea_n in_o most_o high_a honour_n &_o authority_n not_o withstand_v he_o be_v content_a with_o all_o his_o heart_n to_o lose_v that_o high_a honour_n &_o dignity_n &_o to_o be_v make_v as_o one_o of_o the_o base_a common_a people_n so_o that_o he_o may_v have_v some_o little_a corner_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n if_o this_o desire_n be_v so_o great_a &_o excellent_a in_o all_o they_o will_v not_o spend_v so_o much_o time_n in_o devise_v &_o prepare_v for_o thexchange_n that_o they_o must_v make_v when_o they_o forsake_v their_o house_n &_o their_o contrie_n to_o come_v to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o there_o be_v find_v very_o few_o which_o can_v take_v in_o good_a part_n &_o will_v bear_v quiet_o the_o diminish_v of_o their_o substance_n and_o the_o abase_v of_o their_o state_n &_o degree_n every_o man_n do_v great_o desire_v denty_o to_o
