example_n unto_o we_o to_o do_v the_o like_a so_o to_o take_v time_n to_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n work_n and_o to_o other_o godly_a meditation_n last_o of_o all_o it_o may_v be_v that_o god_n

bring_v in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n or_o the_o remedy_n ordain_v before_o in_o the_o former_a of_o these_o there_o be_v five_o special_a point_n to_o be_v consider_v first_o what_o the_o estate_n of_o mankind_n become_v thereby_o as_o touch_v which_o we_o have_v to_o know_v that_o first_o concern_v his_o soul_n the_o principal_a part_n of_o he_o his_o natural_a gift_n be_v not_o clean_o lose_v but_o very_o much_o decay_v as_o for_o his_o other_o excellency_n which_o we_o may_v term_v supernatural_a first_o his_o immortality_n be_v powder_v with_o eternal_a torment_n and_o as_o for_o the_o rest_n first_o themselves_o be_v so_o clean_o lose_v that_o for_o those_o point_n there_o remain_v in_o man_n nature_n no_o goodness_n at_o all_o then_o also_o in_o place_n of_o they_o he_o have_v for_o perfect_a knowledge_n stark_a blindness_n and_o error_n for_o ability_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n not_o so_o much_o power_n leave_v as_o to_o think_v one_o good_a thought_n but_o be_v full_o replenish_v with_o all_o iniquity_n for_o freedom_n of_o will_n most_o miserable_a bondage_n of_o the_o same_o &_o therein_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n whole_o advance_v then_o also_o to_o come_v to_o the_o body_n it_o become_v most_o miserable_a partly_o in_o this_o world_n both_o in_o itself_o by_o disfiguring_n distemperature_n disease_n grief_n &_o natural_a death_n and_o by_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v cast_v on_o other_o creature_n that_o be_v for_o the_o use_n of_o man_n but_o especial_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v be_v subject_a then_o to_o everlasting_a wretchedness_n secondary_o that_o this_o wretched_a estate_n be_v from_o our_o first_o parent_n derive_v to_o all_o their_o posterity_n and_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v therefore_o first_o because_o they_o stand_v for_o we_o all_o to_o have_v and_o to_o lose_v for_o we_o or_o from_o we_o what_o soever_o be_v bestow_v on_o they_o then_o because_o the_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v sufficient_o punish_v unless_o it_o be_v cast_v on_o their_o posterity_n also_o especial_o if_o we_o cast_v our_o eye_n to_o the_o absolute_a perfection_n of_o his_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n the_o third_o and_o last_o because_o we_o have_v experience_n that_o the_o say_a corruption_n be_v invest_v in_o we_o three_o whether_o god_n be_v the_o worker_n of_o this_o their_o overthrow_n or_o not_o concern_v which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v know_v first_o that_o he_o do_v it_o and_o that_o it_o must_v needs_o so_o be_v for_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o agent_n or_o work_v power_n in_o all_o the_o world_n but_o his_o alone_a then_o that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o immediate_o by_o himself_o but_o by_o his_o executioner_n the_o devil_n and_o the_o ready_a inclination_n of_o man_n himself_o four_o to_o what_o end_n he_o shall_v do_v it_o which_o be_v to_o work_v forth_o the_o purpose_n of_o the_o father_n to_o show_v forth_o especial_o both_o his_o just_a vengeance_n on_o those_o who_o he_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o raise_v up_o again_o and_o his_o mercy_n on_o those_o who_o he_o will_v recover_v the_o five_o and_o last_o be_v to_o search_v out_o how_o this_o work_n may_v be_v attribute_v to_o god_n and_o yet_o he_o not_o make_v thereby_o the_o author_n of_o sin_n concern_v which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v know_v first_o of_o all_o that_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v so_o righteous_a &_o himself_o so_o well_o able_a to_o answer_v for_o himself_o that_o neither_o can_v he_o do_v any_o ill_a neither_o do_v he_o need_v our_o defence_n then_o also_o that_o whereas_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v there_o be_v a_o double_a consideration_n one_o of_o the_o deed_n itself_o the_o other_o of_o the_o quality_n or_o form_n or_o manner_n of_o it_o to_o distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o two_o bring_v a_o sufficient_a light_n to_o the_o matter_n so_o that_o ever_o we_o attribute_v the_o deed_n itself_o without_o any_o exception_n to_o god_n alone_o as_o in_o murder_n the_o bereave_v a_o man_n of_o his_o life_n the_o quality_n if_o it_o be_v good_a as_o the_o lawful_a put_v a_o man_n to_o death_n for_o his_o desert_n to_o god_n also_o if_o it_o be_v indifferent_a as_o in_o natural_a death_n to_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n which_o god_n have_v set_v which_o notwithstanding_o ever_o be_v at_o the_o beck_n of_o god_n if_o the_o quality_n be_v ill_a as_o unlawful_o to_o take_v a_o man_n life_n from_o he_o and_o so_o may_v seem_v to_o strain_v the_o deed_n so_o far_o that_o if_o the_o deed_n shall_v be_v ascribe_v to_o god_n he_o also_o shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n yet_o be_v these_o two_o thing_n therewithal_o to_o be_v know_v first_o that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n he_o ever_o have_v some_o other_o quality_n or_o form_n appertain_a thereunto_o that_o be_v good_a then_o also_o that_o the_o ill_a quality_n or_o form_n of_o the_o ill_a deed_n be_v not_o either_o eternal_a with_o god_n because_o the_o devil_n himself_o the_o author_n of_o it_o be_v himself_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n or_o to_o he_o derive_v from_o god_n at_o his_o creation_n for_o that_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v such_o as_o that_o no_o ill_a can_v proceed_v of_o it_o no_o more_o than_o darkness_n can_v come_v of_o light_n of_o health_n sickness_n of_o life_n death_n etc_n etc_n but_o of_o the_o devil_n as_o of_o his_o own_o afterward_o obtain_v because_o he_o do_v not_o abide_v in_o the_o truth_n sin_n be_v by_o nature_n but_o the_o decay_n of_o righteousness_n as_o darkness_n be_v but_o the_o want_n of_o light_n sickness_n no_o more_o but_o the_o want_n of_o health_n and_o death_n no_o more_o but_o want_n of_o life_n so_o that_o sin_n may_v very_o well_o first_o begin_v in_o he_o when_o first_o he_o fall_v in_o the_o latter_a that_o be_v in_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o the_o remedy_n that_o be_v before_o ordain_v there_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v first_o how_o he_o prepare_a mankind_n to_o receive_v it_o before_o that_o full_o he_o bring_v it_o in_o then_o how_o he_o bring_v forth_o the_o work_n itself_o three_o how_o he_o have_v ever_o since_o maintain_v and_o advance_v the_o same_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o three_o we_o find_v that_o he_o do_v it_o diverse_o somewhat_o otherwise_o in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o world_n then_o in_o the_o second_a in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o world_n till_o the_o call_n of_o abraham_n he_o do_v altogether_o to_o speak_v of_o estrange_v himself_o to_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o therewithal_o give_v notable_a

estraunginge_v of_o himself_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v in_o what_o manner_n it_o be_v and_o to_o what_o end_n it_o be_v do_v the_o manner_n of_o it_o appear_v in_o these_o three_o point_n first_o that_o he_o drive_v out_o of_o paradise_n our_o first_o ancestor_n immediate_o after_o the_o fall_n and_o from_o the_o fruition_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n secondary_o that_o afterward_o he_o

they_o from_o that_o natural_a heresy_n of_o man_n to_o have_v some_o good_a opinion_n of_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o to_o provoke_v they_o to_o seek_v for_o help_v
need_v no_o matter_n of_o diffcultie_n to_o speak_v of_o to_o such_o as_o know_v what_o a_o notebook_n mean_v and_o my_o trust_n be_v that_o there_o be_v not_o many_o matter_n of_o importance_n not_o

all_o other_o to_o search_v out_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o little_a book_n i_o have_v annex_v hereunto_o such_o a_o demonstration_n thereof_o &_o so_o lively_a a_o representation_n to_o the_o eye_n

of_o the_o whole_a discourse_n as_o also_o the_o lesser_a do_v betoken_v inferior_a member_n even_o to_o the_o last_o and_o jest_n of_o all_o and_o as_o for_o the_o tree_n my_o meaning_n be_v this_o
