mudder_n but_o of_o the_o injury_n that_o be_v notorious_a which_o be_v know_v over_o all_o the_o city_n every_o street_n ring_v of_o they_o every_o man_n speak_v of_o they_o and_o they_o that_o be_v so_o misuse_v make_v such_o outcry_n as_o many_o man_n may_v be_v witness_n of_o the_o wrong_n that_o be_v do_v they_o behold_v the_o very_a necessity_n of_o they_o be_v so_o extreme_a as_o it_o appear_v plain_o that_o it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o help_v they_o now_o or_o never_o for_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o run_v out_o of_o their_o wit_n and_o yet_o of_o all_o the_o while_n god_n make_v no_o countenance_n that_o he_o be_v mind_v to_o help_v they_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o their_o cry_n be_v in_o vain_a and_o that_o it_o be_v but_o lose_a time_n for_o man_n too_o resort_v unto_o god_n when_o man_n see_v this_o what_o shall_v they_o say_v but_o that_o god_n work_v not_o after_o our_o manner_n and_o that_o all_o our_o wit_n must_v needs_o be_v dazzle_v at_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o honour_v the_o wisdom_n which_o we_o can_v comprehend_v and_o to_o say_v lord_n it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o flesh_n and_o our_o nature_n provoke_v we_o to_o grudge_v against_o thou_o but_o yet_o must_v not_o we_o rule_v thou_o after_o our_o appetite_n wherefore_o we_o will_v wait_v patient_o till_o thine_o hour_n come_v and_o then_o will_v thou_o work_v as_o thou_o know_v to_o be_v profitable_a and_o expedient_a this_o lesson_n be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o we_o see_v how_o hasty_a we_o be_v and_o beside_o that_o if_o a_o man_n do_v but_o touch_v we_o with_o his_o finger_n we_o be_v so_o wayward_a as_o there_o be_v no_o call_n upon_o god_n with_o we_o if_o he_o help_v we_o not_o out_o of_o hand_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v but_o cast_v forth_o some_o sigh_n we_o think_v he_o do_v we_o great_a wrong_n see_v then_o that_o there_o be_v such_o heartburning_n in_o we_o and_o that_o our_o passion_n be_v so_o excessive_a we_o have_v so_o much_o more_o need_n to_o mark_v well_o this_o lesson_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n cry_v from_o out_o of_o the_o city_n yea_o even_o they_o that_o be_v already_o at_o the_o point_n of_o death_n and_o yet_o god_n dispatch_v they_o not_o from_o their_o sigh_v after_o that_o sort_n but_o suffer_v man_n too_o torment_fw-mi they_o still_o if_o this_o seem_v strange_a to_o we_o first_o we_o must_v understand_v how_o our_o lord_n have_v threaten_v that_o such_o as_o have_v not_o pity_v their_o neighbour_n shall_v cry_v and_o not_o be_v hear_v themselves_o for_o he_o say_v the_o poor_a have_v desire_v you_o to_o show_v they_o mercy_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o find_v any_o favour_n at_o your_o hand_n you_o become_v cruel_a to_o they_o your_o ear_n be_v deaf_a to_o all_o their_o request_n and_o therefore_o the_o time_n will_v come_v that_o you_o shall_v cry_v and_o no_o man_n shall_v hear_v you_o when_o we_o hear_v such_o threaten_n of_o god_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o look_v whether_o those_o that_o cry_n and_o lament_v have_v not_o use_v cruelty_n towards_o other_o man_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o god_n shall_v not_o punish_v they_o so_o as_o they_o may_v sob_v &_o sigh_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v succour_v so_o than_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o the_o cry_n go_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o that_o the_o party_n which_o cry_v be_v put_v too_o extreme_a pain_n let_v we_o consider_v a_o little_a whither_o they_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v so_o handle_v and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v a_o just_a judge_n furthermore_o if_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o god_n suffer_v of_o we_o to_o be_v so_o oppress_v be_v too_o punish_v we_o as_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o such_o as_o be_v so_o grieve_v and_o oppress_v have_v always_o be_v gentle_a and_o love_a and_o not_o do_v any_o such_o wrong_n or_o injury_n too_o their_o neighbour_n as_o may_v be_v worthy_a of_o such_o punishment_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o be_v know_v of_o then_o let_v we_o reverence_v the_o wonderful_a secret_n of_o god_n sith_o it_o be_v not_o his_o will_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v so_o behold_v i_o say_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o practice_v this_o sentence_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v afflict_v and_o cry_v unto_o god_n and_o yet_o can_v perceive_v no_o willingness_n in_o he_o too_o helhe_v we_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o he_o have_v forget_v we_o neither_o let_v we_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n why_o for_o his_o providence_n pass_v our_o understanding_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o hold_v ourselves_o quiet_a even_o when_o we_o see_v the_o grave_n afore_o we_o and_o have_v cry_v and_o beseech_v god_n to_o have_v pity_n upon_o we_o yea_o and_o then_o also_o if_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o heaven_n so_o as_o we_o perceive_v not_o his_o hand_n to_o give_v we_o any_o ease_n let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o sue_v to_o he_o continual_o and_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v of_o our_o hope_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o mount_v above_o all_o man_n understanding_n and_o this_o be_v it_o also_o why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n we_o ought_v to_o hope_v above_o hope_n we_o have_v the_o like_a to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n for_o so_o long_o as_o man_n will_v be_v selfewise_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n or_o to_o rest_v upon_o his_o goodness_n or_o upon_o the_o salvation_n that_o be_v promise_v they_o and_o why_o for_o god_n to_o exercise_v our_o faith_n will_v make_v we_o to_o be_v besiege_v of_o a_o hundred_o death_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o good_a as_o swallow_v up_o into_o the_o gulf_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o judge_v of_o our_o salvation_n which_o we_o look_v for_o at_o god_n hand_n after_o our_o own_o mother_n wit_n and_o reason_n for_o that_o it_o be_v too_o small_a a_o measure_n but_o let_v we_o practice_v this_o lesson_n of_o s._n paul_n of_o hope_v against_o hope_n do_v we_o not_o see_v a_o whit_n god_n see_v for_o we_o be_v there_o no_o mean_a for_o we_o to_o escape_v god_n will_v find_v a_o mean_a be_v death_n to_o our_o seem_n ready_a to_o catch_v we_o god_n be_v able_a to_o remedy_v it_o although_o we_o know_v not_o after_o what_o manner_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o for_o we_o to_o scan_v of_o it_o but_o let_v we_o do_v god_n so_o much_o honour_n â–ª_o as_o to_o believe_v that_o he_o will_v save_v we_o beyond_o all_o that_o man_n can_v conceive_v yea_o even_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o shall_v be_v compel_v to_o be_v ravish_v with_o wonderment_n for_o behold_v also_o how_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o church_n that_o when_o the_o faithful_a bethink_v they_o in_o what_o sort_n god_n have_v deliver_v they_o they_o shall_v take_v it_o as_o a_o dream_n insomuch_o as_o the_o thing_n can_v be_v comprehend_v by_o man_n reason_n because_o it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n behold_v i_o say_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o keep_v ourselves_o quiet_a that_o we_o may_v rest_v upon_o god_n goodness_n and_o feed_v ourselves_o with_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o promise_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o yea_o and_o when_o we_o cry_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o make_v no_o likelihood_n of_o hear_v we_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o continue_v our_o suit_n still_o and_o to_o hope_v beyond_o all_o hope_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n beyond_o all_o that_o we_o can_v see_v or_o discern_v thus_o much_o concern_v this_o text_n now_o it_o follow_v that_o such_o as_o do_v evil_a shun_v the_o light_n and_o bide_v themselves_o as_o a_o thief_n that_o always_o seek_v for_o darkness_n and_o night_n and_o when_o the_o day_n come_v he_o think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o shadow_n of_o death_n the_o adulterer_n and_o whorehunter_n watch_v till_o the_o evening_n shut_v in_o that_o he_o may_v shrink_v into_o the_o brothelhouse_n lo_o how_o man_n hate_v the_o light_n in_o do_v evil_a and_o to_o what_o purpose_n do_v job_n speak_v it_o here_o to_o show_v we_o that_o god_n judge_v not_o the_o world_n after_o such_o manner_n as_o eliphas_n speak_v of_o for_o as_o we_o have_v say_v eliphassis_n mean_v be_v that_o thing_n be_v rule_v in_o such_o wise_a here_o below_a as_o man_n may_v perceive_v that_o god_n guide_v and_o govern_v all_o thing_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o may_v well_o perceive_v it_o howbeit_o not_o by_o our_o mother_n wit._n our_o faith_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o reign_v in_o that_o behalf_n and_o we_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 death_n shall_v say_v that_o man_n go_v into_o a_o dark_a coast_n where_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o darkness_n and_o disorder_n and_o why_o so_o for_o he_o match_v sin_n and_o god_n curse_v together_o with_o death_n and_o so_o long_o as_o god_n hold_v he_o lock_v up_o in_o distress_n there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a heartburning_n so_o as_o he_o seek_v not_o the_o mean_a of_o grace_n which_o be_v the_o true_a remedy_n to_o show_v we_o that_o there_o be_v light_a even_o in_o death_n and_o some_o order_n also_o in_o darkness_n how_o dark_a soever_o it_o be_v because_o that_o after_o we_o have_v once_o be_v bring_v to_o dust_n we_o shall_v be_v raze_v up_o again_o job_n perceive_v not_o this_o and_o why_o because_o it_o behoove_v god_n first_o too_o make_v he_o feel_v his_o sharp_a and_o sore_a rigour_n and_o afterward_o to_o comfort_v he_o again_o and_o it_o be_v a_o text_n which_o we_o ought_v too_o mark_v well_o for_o if_o we_o mind_n too_o receive_v the_o grace_n that_o god_n give_v we_o and_o offer_v too_o we_o continual_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v first_o feel_v what_o we_o ourselves_o be_v and_o in_o what_o plight_n we_o be_v 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 adam_n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o that_o which_o be_v corruptible_a go_v foremost_a for_o he_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o order_n that_o god_n hold_v in_o nature_n but_o also_o of_o that_o which_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o consider_v on_o our_o part_n therefore_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o although_o we_o be_v bear_v 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 there_o shall_v not_o darken_v we_o and_o quite_o overwhelm_v we_o but_o also_o in_o our_o life_n this_o present_a world_n as_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o be_v full_a of_o darkness_n and_o we_o be_v poor_a blind_a soul_n in_o it_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n jesus_n christ_n cess_v not_o to_o enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o gospel_n we_o have_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n which_o be_v as_o burn_a cressette_n too_o we_o and_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n which_o be_v yet_o a_o far_o great_a light_n yea_o even_o as_o it_o be_v the_o light_n of_o high_a noon_n you_o see_v then_o 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 first_o feel_v what_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n environ_v we_o round_o about_o until_o such_o time_n as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n furthermore_o when_o jesus_n christ_n have_v enlighten_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v walk_v in_o hope_n of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n although_o god_n take_v we_o hence_o and_o death_n before_o our_o eye_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o comfort_v our_o soul_n in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n for_o they_o be_v always_o incomber_v and_o have_v not_o their_o perfect_a joy_n so_o long_o as_o they_o dwell_v in_o our_o body_n and_o till_o that_o god_n take_v they_o up_o to_o himself_o for_o a_o do_v true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o think_v upon_o death_n alone_o by_o itself_o without_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o any_o high_a god_n may_v now_o and_o then_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o same_o point_n that_o he_o bring_v job._n job_n have_v both_o faith_n and_o hope_n of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n and_o yet_o for_o a_o little_a while_o he_o be_v overraught_v with_o such_o a_o fear_n as_o he_o conceive_v nothing_o else_o in_o death_n but_o all_o confusion_n and_o disorder_n for_o when_o he_o look_v to_o his_o grave_n he_o see_v hell_n open_a to_o swallow_v he_o up_o and_o the_o have_v of_o such_o conceit_n grieve_v job_n much_o more_o than_o all_o the_o torment_n that_o he_o can_v endure_v in_o his_o body_n but_o like_a as_o god_n do_v pluck_v he_o out_o in_o the_o end_n and_o give_v he_o victory_n against_o such_o temptation_n so_o will_v he_o do_v to_o we_o likewise_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v warn_v hereby_o that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o walk_v wary_o pray_v our_o good_a god_n that_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o call_v we_o to_o account_v in_o

we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o how_o soever_o the_o world_n go_v god_n rule_v all_o thing_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v so_o witless_a as_o too_o father_n any_o thing_n 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 tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o show_v we_o wherefore_o he_o change_v and_o shift_v the_o state_n of_o the_o world_n in_o that_o sort_n and_o therewithal_o we_o must_v have_v our_o eye_n open_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 god_n show_v they_o any_o favour_n so_o they_o when_o we_o see_v god_n spread_v out_o his_o goodness_n upon_o a_o people_n he_o be_v to_o be_v magnify_v for_o the_o same_o but_o if_o a_o people_n be_v outrageous_o give_v to_o evil_a and_o god_n visit_v they_o must_v we_o not_o also_o think_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n in_o that_o behalf_n like_o as_o in_o these_o day_n we_o see_v so_o great_a

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 this_o strain_n but_o it_o be_v say_v immediate_o that_o god_n bring_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_n yea_o even_o the_o darkness_n hat_n be_v as_o dark_a as_o death_n that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o

say_v god_n make_v his_o sun_n to_o shine_v every_o day_n we_o see_v how_o the_o night_n have_v his_o course_n &_o the_o day_n succeed_v lo_o here_o be_v a_o great_a and_o wonderful_a change_n job_n may_v have_v speak_v so_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o that_o be_v a_o ordinary_a thing_n among_o we_o we_o pass_v not_o of_o it_o therefore_o he_o intend_v to_o touch_v the_o extraordinary_a thing_n as_o

to_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o furthermore_o we_o must_v also_o sigh_v for_o our_o sin_n for_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v we_o to_o be_v cleanse_v namely_o by_o acknowledge_v

all_o seem_v to_o themselves_o to_o be_v jolly_a conqueror_n and_o stand_v in_o their_o own_o conceit_n for_o do_v so_o but_o our_o lord_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o beguile_v themselves_o very_o

we_o we_o think_v he_o have_v no_o measure_n with_o he_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v at_o what_o point_n job_n be_v also_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v that_o the_o appoint_v of_o the_o time_n must_v be_v

they_o any_o release_n more_o when_o the_o affliction_n be_v so_o great_a and_o excessive_a you_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o pluck_v up_o or_o by_o stub_v up_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n chastize_v we_o after_o what_o manner_n so_o ever_o it_o be_v let_v we_o not_o be_v astonish_v though_o the_o correction_n seem_v grievous_a to_o we_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o

off_o any_o branch_n from_o we_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o gainestrive_n and_o some_o gaynesay_n yea_o very_o in_o our_o natural_a understanding_n but_o yet_o nevertheless_o let_v we_o look_v that_o we_o take_v heart_n when_o the_o affliction_n grieve_v we_o and_o let_v we_o enter_v into_o the_o account_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o you_o see_v it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o a_o man_n cut_v off_o any_o part_n of_o a_o tree_n he_o abate_v the_o beauty_n of_o it_o for_o one_o year_n after_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o a_o good_a labourer_n that_o will_v further_o his_o own_o profit_n and_o play_v the_o good_a husband_n shr_v a_o tree_n he_o mean_v not_o to_o make_v it_o to_o impair_v but_o that_o the_o tree_n shall_v thrive_v the_o better_a then_o sith_o the_o

we_o suffer_v he_o to_o cut_v and_o shred_v off_o some_o bough_n from_o we_o and_o let_v we_o fight_v against_o this_o native_a grief_n and_o against_o the_o sorrowfulness_n that_o we_o conceive_v

notwithstanding_o we_o must_v still_o continue_v steadfast_a as_o shall_v be_v say_v hereafter_o so_o that_o although_o god_n kill_v we_o yet_o must_v we_o trust_v still_o in_o he_o for_o he_o be_v the_o physician_n that_o can_v heal_v not_o only_o our_o wound_n but_o also_o death_n itself_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n although_o i_o shall_v walk_v in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n so_o long_o as_o i_o see_v the_o sheephooj_n of_o my_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v so_o long_o as_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v my_o shepherd_n i_o shall_v comfort_v myself_o therewith_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o fight_v against_o this_o temptation_n which_o provoke_v we_o to_o despair_v when_o god_n to_o our_o seem_n press_v we_o out_o of_o measure_n and_o when_o

from_o one_o place_n to_o a_o other_o shall_v not_o god_n have_v more_o power_n then_o let_v we_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o when_o it_o please_v he_o to_o have_v

the_o tree_n be_v dead_a it_o be_v quite_o and_o clean_o dispatch_v for_o wherein_o consist_v the_o life_n of_o the_o tree_n in_o the_o root_n then_o after_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v take_v away_o

that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o they_o have_v not_o any_o such_o feel_n of_o god_n judgement_n as_o they_o ought_v too_o have_v for_o whosoever_o be_v touch_v right_o and_o to_o the_o quick_a shall_v

it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o then_o that_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o job_n confess_v himself_o too_o be_v as_o it_o be_v past_a hope_n yea_o very_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o neverthelater_n so_o it_o be_v that_o he_o taste_v god_n mercy_n and_o fatherly_a love_n whereunto_o he_o always_o have_v his_o recourse_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n whereby_o he_o be_v sustain_v and_o overcome_v so_o

declare_v that_o he_o will_v be_v favourable_a to_o sinner_n which_o be_v utter_o cast_v down_o in_o themselves_o so_o as_o they_o know_v not_o where_o to_o become_v you_o see_v then_o how_o it_o be_v not_o in_o ourselves_o but_o out_o of_o ourselves_o that_o we_o must_v seek_v comfort_n when_o we_o have_v sorrow_a at_o the_o sight_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o when_o we_o feel_v such_o trouble_n as_o

whereby_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o call_v we_o to_o salvation_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o damn_a already_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o the_o first_o place_n now_o whereas_o job_n say_v that_o see_v it_o be_v so_o he_o will_v take_v leave_n to_o talk_v against_o himself_o or_o upon_o himself_o therein_o he_o declare_v that_o he_o mean_v to_o bewray_v the_o passion_n wherewith_o he_o be_v turmoil_v which_o of_o themselves_o be_v evil_a and_o damnable_a nevertheless_o job_n intend_v too_o lay_v they_o forth_o to_o the_o end_n man_n may_v know_v that_o he_o be_v oppress_v with_o heaviness_n yea_o even_o with_o such_o heaviness_n as_o he_o see_v no_o remedy_n but_o be_v fain_o to_o make_v his_o moan_n so_o be_v a_o frail_a man_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v yet_o a_o further_a foresight_n for_o he_o mean_v that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o prophet_n and_o teacher_n unto_o we_o to_o give_v we_o warning_n what_o our_o affection_n be_v for_o it_o behove_v man_n to_o know_v themselves_o and_o to_o be_v warn_v of_o their_o infirmity_n that_o they_o may_v take_v heed_n too_o themselves_o &_o bridle_v themselves_o for_o somuch_o as_o if_o they_o let_v themselves_o at_o liberty_n they_o shall_v keep_v neither_o mean_a nor_o measure_n lo_o how_o we_o ought_v too_o apply_v this_o lesson_n too_o our_o instruction_n nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o speech_n where_o job_n say_v that_o he_o will_v take_v liberty_n to_o make_v complaint_n against_o himself_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o know_v i_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o by_o stand_v in_o contention_n with_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o preface_n which_o he_o use_v import_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n for_o man_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o they_o shall_v discharge_v themselves_o well_o enough_o if_o they_o may_v fret_v and_o grudge_v against_o god_n and_o here_o you_o see_v wherein_o the_o wicked_a comfort_n themselves_o for_o behold_v it_o will_v seem_v too_o they_o that_o they_o be_v well_o ease_v of_o their_o burden_n when_o they_o have_v spew_v out_o some_o blasphemy_n and_o utter_v their_o impatience_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o boot_v they_o nothing_o at_o all_o they_o make_v their_o case_n much_o worse_a than_o it_o be_v if_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n that_o overlode_v we_o well_o if_o we_o can_v cast_v it_o too_o the_o ground_n we_o be_v unburden_v it_o be_v true_a but_o if_o i_o have_v a_o great_a burden_n upon_o my_o shoulder_n or_o betwixt_o my_o arm_n and_o i_o will_v cast_v it_o upon_o my_o head_n and_o make_v a_o great_a strive_n to_o do_v it_o that_o be_v the_o next_o way_n too_o break_v my_o neck_n and_o what_o have_v i_o gain_v by_o that_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o we_o when_o we_o will_v plead_v with_o god_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o will_v hoist_v up_o a_o burden_n upon_o our_o head_n and_o it_o must_v needs_o fall_v upon_o it_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o can_v do_v for_o which_o way_n soever_o we_o flee_v it_o shall_v light_v upon_o we_o we_o see_v then_o that_o man_n do_v nought_o but_o destroy_v themselves_o when_o they_o vomit_v and_o spew_v up_o their_o murmur_n and_o blasphemy_n after_o that_o fashion_n against_o god_n and_o thus_o you_o perceive_v why_o i_o say_v that_o this_o lesson_n be_v great_o for_o our_o profit_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v we_o use_v this_o homeliness_n of_o unburthen_v ourselves_o into_o his_o lap_n but_o the_o manner_n of_o proceed_v therein_o be_v very_o diverse_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o manner_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v consider_v that_o god_n will_v provide_v for_o all_o and_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v his_o office_n too_o govern_v the_o world_n he_o can_v well_o remedy_v all_o our_o need_n and_o will_v give_v we_o relief_n when_o we_o be_v overfore_o oppress_v lo_o how_o we_o may_v lay_v all_o our_o care_n and_o grief_n in_o god_n lap_n and_o he_o will_v take_v charge_n of_o they_o whereby_o we_o shall_v be_v ease_v of_o they_o yea_o if_o we_o come_v to_o he_o with_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n if_o we_o have_v any_o heaviness_n or_o grief_n that_o nip_v we_o let_v we_o say_v well_o lord_n it_o be_v in_o thou_o to_o succour_n thy_o faithful_a servant_n when_o they_o pine_v in_o pain_n i_o come_v hither_o not_o know_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o i_o if_o thou_o pity_v i_o not_o now_o therefore_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v request_v god_n after_o that_o sort_n and_o he_o shall_v have_v yield_v we_o record_n that_o he_o have_v not_o be_v deaf_a to_o our_o desire_n but_o that_o we_o be_v sure_o he_o have_v hear_v they_o that_o be_v a_o good_a discharge_n for_o god_n come_v still_o before_o we_o and_o receive_v our_o burden_n which_o we_o deliver_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o for_o those_o that_o harden_v themselves_o in_o their_o pride_n and_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o it_o and_o carry_v away_o by_o impatiency_n what_o do_v they_o they_o bend_v themselves_o against_o god_n as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v shoot_v a_o arrow_n at_o heaven_n and_o the_o same_o must_v needs_o fall_v back_o upon_o their_o own_o head_n or_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v cast_v up_o a_o stone_n and_o the_o same_o shall_v light_v upon_o his_o own_o pate_n also_o therefore_o when_o we_o make_v our_o complaint_n let_v we_o be_v well_o advise_v that_o the_o same_o be_v do_v with_o all_o lowliness_n yea_o and_o that_o we_o rest_v whole_o upon_o god_n providence_n ground_v ourselves_o upon_o the_o goodness_n and_o fatherly_a love_n which_o he_o have_v show_v we_o and_o go_v unto_o he_o with_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n if_o we_o do_v so_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v unburden_v and_o god_n will_v provide_v for_o all_o but_o if_o we_o think_v to_o amend_v our_o case_n by_o
sentence_n wherein_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o will_v she_o we_o thyself_o marvelous_a against_o i_o but_o job_n pass_v measure_n that_o be_v certain_a he_o show_v here_o that_o he_o be_v tempt_v of_o a_o outrageous_a passion_n for_o he_o say_v thou_o will_v show_v thyself_o marvelous_a whereby_o he_o declare_v and_o confess_v that_o for_o his_o own_o part_n he_o be_v utter_o dismay_v and_o think_v it_o very_o strange_a that_o god_n shall_v scourge_v he_o so_o but_o we_o must_v beware_v that_o he_o be_v not_o marvelous_a to_o we_o after_o that_o sort_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o we_o perceive_v god_n marvelous_a and_o secret_a deal_n we_o may_v well_o be_v so_o abash_v as_o to_o say_v alas_o lord_n we_o see_v our_o own_o weakness_n and_o rudeness_n in_o that_o we_o think_v the_o

for_o a_o man_n may_v allege_v and_o how_o so_o do_v not_o all_o our_o welfare_n and_o happiness_n consist_v in_o the_o know_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o will_n yes_o very_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v expedient_a for_o we_o but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o way_n to_o know_v he_o which_o be_v convenient_a and_o fit_a for_o we_o he_o can_v well_o give_v we_o the_o

the_o end_n all_o shall_v be_v hide_v from_o they_o and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o hope_n for_o they_o they_o shall_v awake_v and_o seek_v succour_n but_o not_o find_v it_o the_o sum_n be_v that_o although_o rich_fw-fr man_n sleep_v in_o their_o wealth_n for_o a_o time_n because_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v never_o want_v and_o have_v their_o eye_n blind_v with_o overween_a yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n do_v afterward_o enforce_v they_o to_o seek_v help_n without_o find_v it_o and_o then_o they_o perceive_v that_o their_o trust_v their_o riches_n be_v in_o vain_a and_o so_o they_o be_v confound_v this_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v daily_o see_v and_o therefore_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o although_o god_n give_v we_o all_o that_o we_o can_v wish_v so_o as_o we_o think_v we_o shall_v never_o want_v we_o must_v not_o fall_v asleep_a in_o it_o know_v that_o our_o life_n be_v subject_a to_o so_o many_o change_n as_o you_o will_v wonder_v to_o see_v it_o therefore_o let_v we_o watch_v in_o call_v upon_o god_n let_v we_o watch_v that_o we_o rest_v not_o upon_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v in_o our_o own_o hand_n let_v we_o watch_v to_o know_v that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v succour_v many_o way_n and_o by_o that_o mean_a let_v we_o learn_v to_o return_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o settle_v and_o ground_n ourselves_o upon_o his_o only_a providence_n and_o goodness_n this_o be_v the_o warning_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o sentence_n but_o this_o be_v not_o see_v always_o therefore_o as_o i_o say_v let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n of_o it_o and_o although_o the_o rich_a man_n overflow_v in_o wealth_n and_o have_v a_o great_a train_n about_o they_o and_o every_o man_n labour_v to_o do_v they_o service_n and_o final_o that_o they_o want_v nothing_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o god_n have_v give_v over_o his_o office_n but_o that_o he_o reserve_v too_o himself_o the_o judgement_n which_o he_o execute_v upon_o some_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o think_v but_o that_o he_o be_v able_a too_o accomplish_v it_o in_o this_o world_n if_o it_o please_v he_o other_o man_n take_v this_o sentence_n somewhat_o otherwise_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n they_o refer_v this_o say_n bee_n shall_v open_v his_o eye_n or_o look_v about_o not_o to_o the_o rich_a man_n but_o to_o all_o man_n and_o so_o the_o mean_a shall_v be_v that_o man_n shall_v look_v about_o they_o where_o those_o folk_n be_v become_v that_o live_v in_o wealth_n and_o bare_a so_o great_a port_n in_o the_o world_n and_o not_o see_v they_o any_o more_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o seven_o and_o thirty_o psalm_n i_o see_v he_o perk_v up_o as_o a_o high_a cedar_n in_o mount_n lybanus_n and_o he_o touch_v the_o cloud_n with_o his_o head_n but_o anon_o after_o i_o come_v back_o by_o he_o and_o find_v his_o place_n no_o more_o you_o see_v then_o how_o god_n make_v the_o wicked_a to_o vanish_v away_o in_o such_o wise_a that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o they_o be_v wipe_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o sense_n will_v agree_v well_o to_o this_o text_n furthermore_o there_o be_v othersome_a which_o understand_v not_o this_o sentence_n neither_o of_o death_n nor_o of_o burial_n as_o be_v expound_v yesterday_o but_o as_o though_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o the_o wicked_a man_n lay_v he_o down_o to_o rest_n he_o shall_v find_v none_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o easy_a interpretation_n be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o escape_v but_o that_o god_n will_v show_v his_o justice_n upon_o they_o and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v this_o come_v to_o pass_v howbeit_o not_o always_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o ever_o seek_v the_o execution_n of_o god_n justice_n in_o this_o world_n for_o that_o be_v a_o evil_a principle_n and_o it_o will_v trouble_v we_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o if_o we_o see_v not_o these_o thing_n with_o our_o eye_n which_o we_o have_v imagine_v upon_o then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o our_o lord_n delay_v his_o judgement_n when_o he_o think_v good_a and_o make_v they_o not_o manifest_v to_o the_o world_n now_o it_o be_v consequent_o say_v that_o fearfulness_n shall_v overtake_v the_o wicked_a man_n as_o a_o rage_n of_o water_n he_o speak_v here_o of_o water_n but_o he_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v as_o a_o sudden_a storm_n when_o a_o tempest_n or_o a_o whirl_n wind_n come_v by_o night_n as_o this_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v common_a so_o it_o be_v also_o notable_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n send_v such_o fearfulness_n upon_o the_o wicked_a as_o they_o know_v not_o where_o to_o become_v and_o that_o the_o same_o come_v as_o a_o storm_n and_o as_o a_o tempest_n in_o the_o night_n which_o a_o man_n foresee_v not_o ne_o yet_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o be_v speak_v purposely_o because_o the_o wicked_a do_v bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n ought_v to_o let_v they_o alone_o in_o rest_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o though_o they_o be_v not_o trouble_v they_o can_v not_o be_v thorough_o in_o quiet_a because_o they_o have_v a_o evil_a conscience_n but_o yet_o they_o behight_n themselves_o wonder_v and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n special_o in_o isaiah_n they_o make_v a_o
sacrifice_n which_o he_o have_v offer_v we_o be_v take_v and_o repute_v for_o righteous_a because_o the_o say_a sacrifice_n have_v the_o power_n to_o put_v away_o all_o fault_n and_o offence_n lo_o what_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o mark_v in_o this_o place_n therefore_o when_o so_o ever_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o come_v too_o a_o sermon_n when_o any_o promise_n of_o god_n goodness_n be_v set_v afore_o we_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o then_o god_n warrant_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o death_n wherein_o we_o be_v plunge_v and_o although_o we_o hear_v but_o a_o mortal_a man_n and_o that_o his_o voice_n be_v but_o a_o sound_n which_o disperse_v and_o vanish_v in_o the_o air_n yet_o must_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v work_v in_o such_o wise_a by_o his_o power_n that_o the_o say_a doctrine_n shall_v be_v sufficient_a too_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o damnation_n wherein_o we_o be_v and_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v pass_v out_o of_o the_o bond_n of_o satan_n and_o be_v set_v clear_a before_o god_n and_o this_o say_n namely_o what_o so_o ever_o you_o lose_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v lose_a also_o in_o heaven_n can_v fail_v we_o and_o so_o we_o see_v of_o what_o importance_n this_o word_n be_v where_o it_o be_v say_v deliver_v the_o sinner_n or_o set_v the_o sinner_n free_a for_o when_o god_n give_v express_v charge_n to_o such_o as_o speak_v unto_o we_o to_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o death_n that_o we_o may_v enter_v into_o paradise_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o his_o voice_n sound_v from_o heaven_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n saint_n james_n speak_v of_o private_a person_n say_v that_o he_o which_o warn_v his_o brother_n shall_v save_v a_o soul_n that_o be_v lose_v if_o this_o take_v place_n in_o all_o those_o that_o bring_v man_n into_o the_o good_a way_n when_o they_o be_v out_o of_o it_o what_o shall_v it_o do_v see_v we_o have_v the_o special_a zeal_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v to_o his_o word_n at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o same_o be_v preach_v to_o we_o by_o the_o shepherd_n of_o his_o

have_v allege_v out_o of_o saint_n matthew_n to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v what_o the_o power_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v when_o we_o receive_v the_o promise_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n from_o heaven_n too_o pull_v we_o out_o of_o the_o dungeon_n of_o death_n and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v for_o the_o three_o point_n that_o this_o be_v not_o do_v but_o by_o god_n ordinance_n and_o it_o serve_v for_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o blasphemy_n of_o the_o pope_n for_o the_o pope_n uphold_v that_o he_o and_o his_o chaplain_n have_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o office_n of_o forgive_a but_o what_o commission_n can_v they_o show_v for_o it_o for_o they_o tie_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o shrift_n and_o where_o do_v god_n ever_o tell_v man_n that_o it_o behove_v man_n to_o shrive_v they_o of_o all_o their_o secret_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o a_o mortal_a man_n too_o obtain_v mercy_n god_n declare_v that_o if_o the_o sinner_n sigh_v for_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o he_o but_o behold_v a_o mortal_a creature_n presume_v to_o make_v a_o law_n and_o to_o shut_v man_n out_o of_o paradyse_n if_o they_o observe_v it_o not_o be_v not_o that_o a_o notorious_a usurp_n of_o god_n power_n beside_o this_o the_o pope_n have_v his_o bulle●_n indulgence_n pardon_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n too_o ground_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n upon_o and_o therewithal_o he_o mingle_v the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n as_o he_o that_o mean_v express_o too_o deface_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o have_v no_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o have_v nothing_o but_o toy_n ceremony_n sorcery_n great_a cross_n upon_o the_o back_n and_o such_o other_o trash_n which_o in_o conclusion_n be_v nothing_o but_o satan_n gewgaw_n but_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n without_o god_n message_n that_o be_v too_o say_v without_o preach_v and_o doctrine_n when_o the_o pope_n forgive_v sin_n he_o be_v dumb_a he_o bring_v not_o one_o jot_n of_o god_n word_n neither_o have_v he_o any_o thing_n but_o charm_n and_o sorcery_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o moreover_o he_o lay_v tyrannous_a law_n upon_o man_n neck_n to_o overthrow_v the_o mean_a which_o our_o lord_n have_v ordain_v again_o he_o abridge_v god_n himself_o of_o his_o liberty_n and_o there_o be_v no_o let_v in_o he_o to_o disappoint_v god_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o receive_v sinner_n to_o mercy_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v the_o devil_n synagogue_n destitute_a of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o consequent_o damn_v so_o long_o as_o it_o hold_v itself_o too_o the_o tradition_n of_o antechrist_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n we_o say_v that_o man_n sin_n be_v forgive_v they_o by_o receive_v the_o message_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o the_o same_o have_v not_o to_o do_v with_o the_o ceremony_n that_o man_n have_v devise_v nor_o with_o the_o law_n which_o they_o have_v invent_v at_o their_o own_o pleasure_n but_o only_o that_o we_o must_v follow_v the_o order_n and_o rule_v which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v establish_v who_o have_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o hand_n he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o mean_a whereby_o he_o will_v have_v it_o do_v which_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o with_o assure_a faith_n therefore_o if_o we_o stick_v to_o that_o simplicity_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o commission_n come_v from_o above_o and_o that_o man_n take_v not_o ne_o usurp_v not_o any_o thing_n upon_o they_o of_o their_o own_o brain_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o the_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v pity_v he_o and_o deliver_v he_o then_o must_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o come_v from_o above_o and_o none_o but_o god_n only_o must_v

we_o have_v see_v already_o heretofore_o that_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n be_v near_o to_o the_o grave_n and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o dead_a and_o consume_v so_o long_o as_o god_n

we_o not_o think_v hereupon_o that_o god_n pardon_v our_o sin_n too_o let_v we_o fall_v asleep_a in_o they_o but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v seek_v to_o he_o and_o make_v the_o privilege_n which_o

he_o you_o see_v they_o in_o effect_n what_o the_o mean_a of_o eliu_n be_v howbeit_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_a profit_n by_o this_o sentence_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o first_o to_o enter_v into_o ourselves_o and_o they_o to_o go_v unto_o god_n &_o afterward_o to_o go_v unto_o our_o neighbour_n thus_o you_o see_v three_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n and_o it_o be_v a_o order_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o keep_v well_o the_o first_o be_v that_o man_n shall_v examine_v their_o own_o conscience_n &_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o their_o whole_a life_n and_o why_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o sin_n for_o until_o we_o have_v well_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v worse_o than_o wretched_a how_o will_v we_o have_v recourse_n unto_o god_n we_o will_v not_o be_v move_v to_o seek_v he_o nor_o to_o desire_v forgiveness_n so_o than_o it_o be_v requisite_a for_o we_o too_o begin_v at_o the_o say_a point_n namely_o too_o feel_v our_o sin_n how_o grievous_a they_o be_v and_o also_o too_o feel_v and_o conceive_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v forlorn_a and_o behold_v hell_n as_o it_o be_v gape_v upon_o we_o to_o swallow_v we_o up_o and_o be_v so_o utter_o astonish_v as_o we_o may_v be_v drive_v to_o say_v alas_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v so_o that_o we_o may_v have_v no_o rest_n in_o ourselves_o but_o languish_v so_o in_o our_o misery_n as_o we_o may_v come_v with_o a_o earnest_a zeal_n too_o seek_v the_o lord_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o step_n that_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o must_v come_v unto_o god_n and_o see_v he_o tarry_v not_o till_o we_o seek_v he_o but_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n prevent_v we_o in_o somuch_o that_o he_o inspire_v we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v seek_v he_o and_o flee_v for_o refuge_n unto_o his_o mercy_n &_o there_o rest_v when_o we_o have_v any_o promise_n of_o his_o goodness_n set_v afore_o we_o see_v that_o he_o seek_v sinner_n to_o bring_v they_o from_o death_n to_o life_n we_o must_v take_v those_o promise_n and_o apply_v they_o too_o our_o use_n say_v even_o so_o my_o god_n thou_o show_v that_o thou_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v sinner_n too_o mercy_n behold_v i_o be_o one_o yea_o and_o i_o be_o so_o forlorn_a as_o i_o wot_v not_o any_o more_o what_o too_o do_v therefore_o i_o doubt_v not_o lord_n but_o thou_o will_v make_v i_o feel_v they_o grace_n and_o goodness_n so_o lord_n there_o will_v i_o rest_v and_o although_o i_o be_v hem_v in_o with_o many_o trouble_n and_o sorrow_n which_o be_v able_a to_o turn_v i_o from_o thou_o yet_o will_v i_o rest_v upon_o thy_o promise_n and_o therewith_o call_v upon_o thou_o assure_v myself_o that_o thou_o will_v strengthen_v i_o against_o all_o satan_n temptation_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o deal_v the_o three_o point_n be_v the_o conclusion_n that_o eliu_n make_v here_o which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v declare_v god_n goodness_n to_o our_o neighbour_n so_o farforth_o as_o be_v needful_a to_o their_o edify_n that_o he_o may_v be_v praise_v with_o one_o accord_n and_o that_o all_o man_n may_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o welfare_n but_o in_o his_o mercy_n and_o that_o we_o be_v all_o damn_a if_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n remedy_n it_o not_o these_o say_v i_o be_v the_o three_o degree_n which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o keep_v but_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o ourselves_o and_o why_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o which_o will_v blaze_v abroad_o god_n praise_n with_o full_a mouth_n but_o they_o have_v not_o well_o foremynd_v they_o in_o their_o heart_n there_o be_v which_o think_v themselves_o discharge_v when_o they_o have_v say_v oh_o my_o god_n have_v pity_n upon_o i_o i_o have_v be_v such_o a_o one_o i_o have_v do_v such_o a_o evil_a deed_n true_a it_o be_v that_o such_o man_n have_v some_o feel_n in_o themselves_o and_o speak_v not_o altogether_o through_o hypocrisy_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v much_o wind_n in_o they_o and_o their_o mouth_n be_v large_a than_o their_o heart_n for_o scarce_o have_v they_o taste_v of_o god_n mercy_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v have_v man_n to_o think_v that_o they_o have_v feel_v it_o thorough_o and_o that_o they_o be_v full_o fraught_v with_o it_o but_o there_o be_v vanity_n and_o ambition_n in_o such_o

be_v well_o imprint_v in_o their_o conscience_n and_o they_o themselves_o be_v right_o nourish_v with_o it_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o i_o say_v that_o before_o we_o speak_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o have_v consider_v well_o what_o we_o have_v see_v afore_o that_o be_v too_o say_v too_o have_v examine_v well_o ourselves_o too_o have_v be_v diligent_a in_o search_v how_o wretched_a we_o be_v and_o too_o
bethink_v we_o of_o the_o vice_n which_o be_v so_o deep_o root_v in_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o think_v not_o to_o escape_v god_n hand_n by_o our_o startinghole_n and_o after_o as_o we_o be_v drunken_a in_o our_o sin_n so_o also_o think_v we_o that_o god_n have_v his_o eye_n shut_v and_o blindfold_a or_o else_o that_o he_o have_v a_o curtain_n draw_v afore_o he_o so_o as_o he_o can_v perceive_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o hide_v howbeit_o on_o the_o other_o side_n and_o for_o the_o second_o point_n let_v we_o mark_v how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o our_o darkness_n shall_v be_v discover_v before_o he_o when_o bee_n list_v and_o thereupon_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n that_o we_o think_v not_o ourselves_o to_o have_v make_v the_o better_a market_n where_o man_n be_v not_o privy_a too_o our_o naughtiness_n for_o the_o very_a cause_n that_o send_v many_o too_o destruction_n be_v for_o that_o they_o go_v for_o good_a man_n or_o at_o leastwise_o can_v stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o such_o as_o be_v not_o privy_a to_o their_o wickedness_n for_o they_o they_o triumph_v and_o dare_v spite_n god_n himself_o but_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v gain_v nothing_o by_o our_o deceive_n of_o the_o world_n for_o how_o goodly_a show_v soever_o we_o have_v make_v in_o the_o end_n we_o must_v come_v before_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n who_o will_v open_v

thing_n in_o huckermucker_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v so_o often_o of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o in_o one_o place_n nor_o at_o one_o time_n only_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n before_o god_n but_o for_o what_o cause_n be_v this_o sentence_n so_o often_o repeat_v it_o be_v because_o we_o can_v be_v persuade_v of_o it_o for_o 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 it_o be_v purposely_o say_v here_o that_o the_o sinner_n shall_v not_o hide_v themselves_o there_o as_o if_o eliu_n shall_v say_v it_o come_v daily_o too_o pass_v that_o man_n eye_n be_v so_o dazzle_v as_o they_o take_v their_o vice_n for_o virtue_n yea_o and_o be_v so_o evil_o mind_v that_o it_o do_v they_o good_a to_o be_v flatter_v according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o when_o evil_a have_v full_a

and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o flood_n of_o iniquity_n that_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v turmoil_v among_o man_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o judgement_n nor_o discretion_n with_o they_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o must_v go_v far_o otherwise_o before_o god_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n above_o the_o world_n and_o by_o faith_n

a_o very_a sore_n and_o trouble_v some_o temptation_n when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a to_o be_v after_o that_o sort_n as_o it_o be_v lord_n and_o master_n of_o the_o world_n and_o whereof_o come_v
