this_o it_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o work_v this_o effect_n in_o we_o after_o due_a labour_n and_o diligence_n use_v in_o our_o calling_n to_o refer_v the_o success_n thereof_o unto_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o trust_v god_n and_o believe_v his_o promise_n and_o not_o distrust_v his_o providence_n if_o we_o will_v not_o trust_v god_n in_o these_o outward_a thing_n how_o shall_v we_o trust_v he_o in_o the_o keep_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o in_o death_n therefore_o commend_v all_o to_o god_n and_o for_o the_o success_n live_v by_o faith_n quest._n how_o if_o all_o

good_a for_o thou_o better_o than_o thyself_o wherefore_o if_o he_o deny_v thou_o that_o blessing_n which_o thou_o desire_v be_v content_a and_o obedient_a for_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n to_o be_v cross_v it_o be_v better_a oftentimes_o than_o we_o be_v aware_a of_o good_a josias_n be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n and_o will_v needs_o fight_v with_o pharaoh_n necho_n without_o any_o warrant_n

want_v any_o blessing_n the_o best_a way_n be_v to_o pray_v for_o it_o and_o to_o depend_v upon_o god_n and_o if_o god_n see_v it_o to_o be_v good_a for_o thou_o thou_o shall_v obtain_v thy_o desire_n so_o much_o of_o this_o main_a commandment_n which_o be_v a_o commandment_n always_o to_o be_v remember_v and_o write_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o be_v practise_v in_o our_o life_n now_o one_o point_n further_o be_v to_o be_v mark_v viz._n how_o christ_n distinguish_v between_o the_o life_n and_o the_o body_n he_o make_v the_o meat_n and_o drink_n to_o appertain_v to_o the_o life_n and_o soul_n and_o apparel_n to_o the_o body_n yet_o we_o know_v that_o the_o apparel_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o preserve_v the_o life_n too_o as_o well_o as_o meat_n and_o drink_v and_o yet_o christ_n conclude_v it_o and_o that_o for_o just_a cause_n for_o though_o in_o some_o country_n the_o use_n of_o apparel_n be_v to_o cherish_v the_o body_n and_o to_o continue_v life_n yet_o the_o general_a and_o first_o use_n of_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o life_n but_o it_o respect_v a_o high_a matter_n it_o serve_v for_o the_o body_n itself_o i_o say_v in_o respect_n of_o a_o certain_a shame_n that_o be_v set_v upon_o it_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o body_n be_v lose_v and_o the_o nakedness_n of_o it_o be_v now_o a_o thing_n full_a of_o shame_n and_o confusion_n and_o our_o apparel_n serve_v to_o cover_v this_o shame_n so_o the_o proper_a and_o principal_a end_n of_o apparel_n be_v this_o to_o cover_v the_o body_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o shame_n which_o befall_v we_o after_o the_o fall_n yea_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o shall_v be_v all_o cover_v hand_n and_o face_n and_o all_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o other_o necessary_a use_n in_o regard_n of_o which_o we_o keep_v they_o bare_a and_o uncover_v and_o if_o that_o fall_n have_v not_o be_v the_o naked_a body_n have_v be_v full_a of_o majesty_n this_o point_n be_v consider_v we_o must_v learn_v never_o to_o be_v puff_v up_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o apparel_n but_o rather_o to_o be_v abash_v and_o confound_v so_o oft_o as_o we_o put_v it_o on_o or_o look_v upon_o it_o for_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o badge_n to_o cover_v the_o shame_n of_o our_o body_n with_o therefore_o it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o madness_n for_o any_o to_o be_v puff_v up_o because_o of_o their_o apparel_n as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o prisoner_n to_o be_v proud_a of_o the_o bolt_n on_o his_o leg_n the_o brand_n on_o his_o hand_n or_o the_o hole_n in_o his_o care_n therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o think_v of_o our_o sin_n when_o we_o look_v on_o our_o apparel_n and_o to_o be_v abash_v abase_v and_o humble_v in_o remembrance_n of_o it_o we_o must_v express_v all_o the_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o we_o so_o much_o as_o we_o can_v even_o in_o our_o apparel_n as_o sobriety_n temperance_n frugality_n &_o such_o like_a they_o be_v to_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o very_a garment_n so_o much_o of_o that_o point_n now_o it_o follow_v be_v not_o the_o life_n more_o worth_a etc._n etc._n after_o he_o have_v give_v a_o most_o excellent_a commandment_n to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v not_o go_v without_o his_o effect_n he_o enforce_v it_o with_o diverse_a argument_n of_o weight_n first_o say_v be_v not_o the_o life_n more_o worth_a than_o meat_n etc._n etc._n the_o reason_n stand_v thus_o the_o life_n be_v more_o excellent_a they_o meat_n and_o drink_v and_o the_o body_n be_v better_a than_o the_o apparel_n now_o god_n give_v the_o life_n and_o the_o body_n and_o do_v preserve_v they_o therefore_o he_o will_v much_o more_o give_v food_n and_o apparel_n the_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o creation_n he_o that_o be_v a_o creator_n will_v preserve_v his_o work_n in_o this_o reason_n christ_n teach_v we_o how_o we_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o our_o creation_n by_o a_o consideration_n of_o it_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o come_v to_o a_o confidence_n of_o god_n providence_n and_o to_o trust_v in_o he_o for_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n for_o he_o will_v preserve_v his_o workmanship_n job_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o ten_o chapter_n persuade_v himself_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o destroy_v he_o because_o he_o be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o his_o hand_n he_o make_v that_o a_o argument_n mark_v what_o use_n he_o make_v of_o his_o very_a creation_n commend_v yourselves_o to_o god_n as_o to_o a_o faithful_a creator_n say_v s._n peter_n 1._o pet._n 4._o mark_v that_o he_o call_v god_n a_o faithful_a creator_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o must_v commend_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o we_o see_v also_o by_o common_a experience_n that_o no_o man_n be_v so_o tender_a and_o careful_a for_o any_o thing_n as_o be_v the_o workman_n therefore_o in_o this_o respect_n we_o be_v to_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o god_n have_v god_n give_v we_o life_n and_o a_o body_n and_o will_v he_o not_o give_v we_o food_n and_o raiment_n it_o can_v be_v thus_o god_n teach_v we_o his_o
