of_o a_o account_n if_o we_o be_v but_o sick_a a_o little_a we_o cry_v out_o alas_o and_o if_o there_o happen_v we_o any_o mischance_n man_n shall_v hear_v we_o make_v complaint_n and_o yet_o our_o

that_o i_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o it_o until_o suck_v time_n as_o i_o be_v cut_v off_o here_o he_o show_v wherefore_o he_o desire_v death_n namely_o because_o he_o feel_v himself_o shut_v up_o under_o

when_o we_o have_v fisk_v hither_o and_o thither_o never_o so_o much_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o we_o shall_v have_v profit_v well_o for_o one_o day_n if_o we_o can_v bear_v this_o lesson_n in_o mind_n why_o so_o for_o although_o god_n threaten_v we_o never_o so_o much_o yet_o it_o be_v see_v that_o there_o need_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o shift_v out_o of_o it_o according_a as_o every_o of_o we_o imagine_v one_o shift_n or_o other_o insomuch_o that_o our_o hypocrisy_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o

up_o in_o his_o grave_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o man_n cease_v not_o too_o be_v under_o god_n hand_n by_o die_v but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o he_o and_o to_o feel_v he_o still_o job_n know_v that_o well_o enough_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o misery_n where_o with_o he_o be_v

we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n what_o shall_v we_o more_o desire_n than_o that_o god_n shall_v have_v we_o in_o remembrance_n for_o if_o he_o forget_v we_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o peter_n say_v get_v thou_o away_o from_o i_o oh_o lord_n for_o i_o be_o a_o wretched_a sinner_n yea_o but_o we_o must_v go_v the_o contrary_a way_n to_o work_v and_o say_v lord_n come_v near_o we_o for_o without_o thy_o grace_n we_o be_v nothing_o so_o than_o it_o be_v very_o needful_a that_o god_n shall_v remember_v we_o and_o how_o to_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v we_o so_o as_o he_o uphold_v we_o

that_o be_v in_o it_o and_o here_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n wherein_o we_o differ_v from_o the_o unbeliever_n be_v that_o although_o both_o of_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o pass_v through_o

they_o look_v about_o they_o they_o find_v no_o succour_n but_o be_v disappoint_v of_o their_o long_n here_o we_o have_v a_o fair_a look_a glass_n of_o god_n judgement_n howbeit_o that_o we_o play_v not_o those_o which_o hold_v argument_n against_o job_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o we_o go_v not_o about_o too_o enforce_v god_n too_o set_v thing_n in_o their_o perfect_v state_n for_o that_o shall_v not_o be_v do_v till_o the_o last_o day_n yet_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v warn_v to_o look_v upon_o god_n hand_n as_o oft_o as_o our_o lord_n overthrow_v the_o wicked_a and_o beat_v they_o down_o we_o must_v not_o in_o this_o point_n seek_v any_o chance_n as_o the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n do_v which_o imagine_v a_o wheel_n of_o fortune_n where_o as_o man_n be_v hoist_v up_o aloft_o and_o afterward_o let_v fall_v again_o for_o the_o change_n and_o rove_n which_o we_o see_v in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o thing_n that_o happen_v by_o adventure_n but_o it_o behove_v up_o too_o father_n they_o upon_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n as_o how_o sometime_o he_o punish_v they_o that_o have_v abuse_v his_o grace_n and_o sometime_o he_o bear_v with_o they_o so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o perceive_v that_o he_o mind_v too_o punish_v they_o but_o yet_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o terrible_a account_n to_o make_v as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o notwithstanding_o if_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a fall_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n do_v not_o advance_v they_o without_o cause_n but_o that_o the_o same_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o their_o fall_n shall_v be_v the_o greevouser_n even_o to_o break_v their_o neck_n then_o after_o they_o have_v be_v hoist_v up_o aloft_o god_n must_v make_v they_o to_o fall_v after_o that_o fashion_n furthermore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o their_o burial_n be_v speak_v of_o here_o for_o although_o it_o be_v neither_o here_o nor_o there_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o salvation_n yet_o be_v there_o two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a do_v at_o their_o death_n defy_v god_n and_o nature_n and_o think_v too_o prolong_v their_o greatness_n and_o pompousness_n still_o in_o spite_n of_o nature_n when_o our_o lord_n convey_v they_o into_o rottenness_n yea_o even_o then_o do_v i_o say_v the_o worldly_a and_o fleshe_o man_n make_v much_o more_o bravery_n than_o in_o all_o their_o life_n afore_o for_o their_o sumptuous_a burial_n be_v too_o save_o their_o memorial_n from_o perish_v that_o man_n may_v speak_v of_o it_o for_o ever_o so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o the_o foolish_a curiosity_n which_o the_o worldling_n and_o unbeliever_n use_v in_o be_v bury_v with_o great_a pomp_n be_v to_o continue_v their_o pride_n in_o despite_n of_o god_n but_o god_n laugh_v such_o presumption_n to_o scorn_v for_o he_o disappoint_v their_o expectation_n in_o so_o much_o that_o whereas_o they_o purpose_v to_o be_v bury_v honourable_o diverse_a time_n he_o have_v give_v they_o a_o clean_a contrary_a burial_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o burial_n be_v bring_v in_o by_o god_n it_o be_v no_o invention_n of_o man_n without_o good_a ground_n but_o it_o be_v god_n ordinance_n to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v be_v a_o witness_n unto_o we_o of_o the_o resurrection_n &_o everlasting_a life_n when_o man_n be_v bury_v they_o be_v lay_v up_o in_o the_o earth_n as_o in_o a_o store_n house_n until_o they_o may_v be_v raise_v up_o again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o so_o our_o burial_n be_v unto_o we_o as_o a_o look_a glass_n of_o the_o resurrection_n therefore_o when_o the_o wicked_a be_v disappoint_v of_o burial_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o our_o lord_n utter_v his_o curse_n upon_o they_o after_o a_o visible_a manner_n yea_o even_o as_o well_o in_o death_n as_o in_o life_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o if_o the_o wicked_a be_v bury_v honourable_o we_o must_v not_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o nor_o think_v that_o god_n have_v forget_v himself_o or_o that_o he_o execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n in_o convenient_a time_n for_o we_o see_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v of_o the_o rich_fw-fr man_n namely_o that_o he_o be_v bury_v and_o what_o say_v it_o of_o lazarus_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o his_o burial_n in_o so_o much_o that_o it_o be_v not_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v eat_v with_o dog_n or_o whether_o he_o be_v cast_v abroad_o into_o the_o field_n the_o scripture_n speak_v not_o of_o it_o it_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o burial_n of_o the_o rich_fw-fr man_n contrariwise_o if_o god_n child_n happen_v sometime_o to_o lie_v unbury_v be_v it_o to_o be_v conclude_v therefore_o that_o they_o be_v accurse_v no_o like_v as_o when_o the_o wicked_a be_v bury_v it_o be_v not_o too_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v bless_v in_o their_o death_n but_o it_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o god_n execute_v not_o his_o temporal_a punishment_n after_o one_o equal_a rate_n in_o this_o world_n but_o reserve_v the_o chief_a to_o himself_o till_o the_o latter_a day_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v when_o we_o see_v good_a man_n burn_v and_o put_v to_o open_a shame_n and_o god_n child_n perish_v with_o the_o wicked_a yea_o as_o touch_v the_o body_n so_o as_o they_o be_v carry_v to_o the_o gallows_n for_o although_o they_o be_v the_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o that_o slander_n be_v more_o honour_n to_o they_o before_o god_n than_o all_o the_o preferment_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o not_o withstand_v god_n give_v they_o not_o burinall_n and_o how_o come_v that_o too_o pass_v how_o fall_v out_o the_o threaten_n against_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v namely_o that_o they_o be_v such_o judgement_n as_o be_v hide_v and_o incomprehensible_a as_o yet_o and_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o tarry_v till_o our_o lord_n bring_v we_o to_o that_o day_n wherein_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v discover_v in_o the_o mean_a season_n let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o heaven_n shall_v serve_v for_o a_o tomb_n too_o such_o as_o be_v so_o martyr_v i_o mean_v too_o the_o innocent_n that_o be_v put_v to_o reproach_n by_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o persecuter_n and_o that_o if_o they_o have_v the_o honourable_a burial_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o benefit_n and_o privilege_n that_o god_n give_v they_o for_o can_v a_o man_n find_v a_o more_o honourable_a tomb_n than_o the_o heaven_n but_o our_o lord_n make_v that_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o tomb_n for_o his_o child_n when_o he_o bereave_v they_o of_o common_a and_o ordinary_a burial_n and_o so_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o have_v we_o bury_v let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o same_o be_v as_o a_o record_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o if_o he_o bereeve_v the_o wicked_a of_o their_o burial_n

whereof_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n and_o wellspring_n for_o wherein_o lie_v the_o fullness_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n but_o only_o in_o god_n then_o must_v we_o needs_o conclude_v that_o be_v cut_v

and_o we_o come_v not_o of_o adam_n but_o as_o concern_v our_o body_n where_o do_v sin_n dwell_v where_o have_v he_o his_o proper_a seat_n in_o the_o soul_n but_o there_o be_v no_o show_n of_o

we_o too_o understand_v the_o chief_a point_n in_o two_o or_o three_o word_n which_o be_v to_o mind_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o man_n

not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o that_o be_v otherwise_o true_a it_o be_v that_o although_o jesus_n christ_n be_v very_a man_n yet_o be_v he_o exempt_v from_o all_o our_o uncleanness_n but_o that_o be_v because_o he_o be_v concevy_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n ordain_v peculiarly_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v conceive_v by_o power_n from_o above_o and_o why_o to_o the_o

of_o man_n nature_n we_o be_v subject_a too_o the_o say_a corruption_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o find_v any_o one_o mortal_a wight_n that_o be_v not_o full_a of_o all_o unrighteousness_n save_v only_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o why_o for_o let_v we_o mark_v from_o whence_o we_o come_v so_o then_o we_o have_v to_o call_v to_o remembrance_n what_o have_v be_v touch_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n in_o what_o wise_a we_o ought_v to_o allege_v unto_o god_n the_o shortness_n of_o our_o life_n and_o the_o misery_n whereunto_o the_o same_o be_v subject_n which_o be_v to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v have_v pity_n upon_o we_o and_o not_o to_o murmur_v against_o he_o howbeit_o therewithal_o we_o must_v also_o mislike_v of_o our_o own_o life_n and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o if_o we_o wist_v well_o
that_o our_o life_n be_v flightful_a and_o bethink_v we_o of_o the_o misery_n wherewith_o it_o be_v fraught_v and_o as_o it_o be_v pester_v we_o will_v not_o be_v so_o far_o in_o love_n with_o it_o as_o we_o be_v but_o here_o you_o see_v a_o good_a cause_n why_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o waker_n nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o keep_v a_o measure_n in_o this_o

but_o we_o must_v not_o come_v too_o such_o extremity_n what_o then_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o our_o life_n vanish_v away_o in_o a_o moment_n let_v we_o consider_v also_o from_o whence_o the_o

from_o our_o father_n adam_n in_o somuch_o as_o all_o of_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o his_o sin_n therefore_o when_o there_o be_v any_o talk_n of_o the_o shortness_n of_o our_o life_n we_o must_v enter_v into_o this_o acknowledgement_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o again_o whence_o come_v all_o the_o misery_n that_o hedge_v we_o in_o round_o about_o but_o because_o we_o be_v banish_v out_o of_o god_n kingdom_n where_o all_o our_o welfare_n lie_v then_o be_v we_o miserable_a so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o god_n but_o we_o be_v separate_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o return_v always_o thither_o when_o we_o have_v learn_v too_o blame_v ourselves_o after_o this_o sort_n we_o shall_v not_o deal_v as_o those_o do_v that_o

mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o yet_o be_v not_o that_o enough_o for_o unless_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o remedy_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n we_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o with_o such_o desperation_n as_o we_o can_v but_o blaspheme_v god_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o those_o which_o fordoo_v themselves_o do_v it_o as_o it_o

of_o their_o sorrow_n &_o heaviness_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v not_o fall_v into_o despair_n let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o that_o which_o be_v able_a to_o assuage_v all_o our_o anguish_n as_o

and_o hang_v upon_o he_o we_o shall_v be_v like_o a_o tree_n that_o be_v plant_v by_o the_o water_n or_o river_n side_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v always_o have_v good_a sap_n to_o flourish_v &_o bring_v

must_v we_o not_o needs_o be_v out_o of_o our_o wit_n if_o we_o go_v not_o to_o it_o then_o let_v we_o bethink_v we_o well_o &_o learn_v to_o bereave_v ourselves_o of_o all_o the_o lust_n of_o our_o

have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n but_o alas_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o we_o be_v straitewayes_o draw_v to_o that_o which_o have_v a_o fair_a show_n and_o therefore_o it_o

let_v we_o also_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o storm_n that_o be_v at_o hand_n upon_o the_o wicked_a for_o god_n hold_v they_o at_o that_o point_n too_o beat_v they_o down_o and_o although_o we_o perceive_v it_o not_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n yet_o if_o we_o look_v at_o god_n justice_n with_o the_o eyesight_n of_o faith_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v not_o root_v in_o

they_o drown_v in_o their_o own_o pride_n and_o why_o for_o god_n word_n can_v lie_v so_o then_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v move_v by_o our_o sensuality_n and_o foolish_a imagination_n let_v we_o

from_o all_o the_o vain_a conceit_n that_o deceive_v we_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v away_o in_o this_o strain_v and_o in_o the_o end_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o household_n of_o the_o

afterward_o he_o add_v that_o the_o house_n of_o bribe_n shall_v be_v consume_v whereas_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o company_n of_o hypocrite_n it_o be_v to_o express_v the_o better_a that_o although_o the_o wicked_a have_v great_a train_n and_o great_a and_o long_a tail_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o miss_v to_o be_v consume_v then_o shall_v you_o see_v far_o wicked_a man_n than_o

the_o wicked_a maintain_v themselves_o for_o a_o time_n by_o those_o alliance_n and_o that_o they_o fortify_v themselves_o of_o purpose_n to_o maintain_v their_o state_n in_o somuch_o that_o every_o

god_n have_v innumerable_a mean_n too_o correct_v we_o when_o he_o list_v and_o how_o he_o list_v and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o moses_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v that_o all_o those_o thing_n be_v

say_v i_o have_v my_o treasurer_n of_o good_a thing_n when_o it_o please_v i_o to_o show_v my_o favour_n and_o love_n towards_o man_n yea_o and_o i_o have_v wherewith_o to_o do_v they_o good_a not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o world_n but_o by_o the_o mean_v incomprehensible_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n also_o when_o i_o listen_v to_o punish_v man_n they_o shall_v feel_v how_o i_o can_v do_v more_o than_o they_o wist_v of_o and_o more_o than_o ever_o they_o know_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o god_n will_v have_v his_o incomprehensible_a riches_n know_v unto_o we_o as_o well_o by_o voutsave_v too_o pour_v out_o his_o benefit_n upon_o we_o as_o also_o by_o the_o contrary_n wherefore_o let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o when_o so_o ever_o it_o please_v he_o too_o plague_v we_o he_o

lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o verse_n furthermore_o whereas_o job_n add_v a_o new_a that_o his_o gall_n be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o ground_n and_o that_o his_o kidney_n be_v

and_o that_o his_o hand_n become_v so_o grievous_a and_o overheavie_a that_o we_o can_v no_o more_o bear_v it_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o be_v too_o much_o discourage_v and_o as_o it_o be_v dull_v

as_o we_o see_v a_o number_n of_o brutish_a folk_n which_o have_v none_o other_o taste_n or_o feeling_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n in_o heaven_n but_o for_o that_o he_o feed_v they_o and_o fill_v their_o belly_n and_o if_o a_o man_n ask_v they_o which_o be_v that_o god_n they_o answer_v it_o be_v he_o that_o nourish_v we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o conceive_v the_o goodness_n and_o power_n of_o our_o god_n in_o all_o the_o benefit_n that_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o stay_v there_o for_o as_o i_o say_v we_o must_v mount_v by_o faith_n above_o all_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v see_v in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o say_v i_o believe_v in_o god_n because_o he_o maintain_v i_o because_o he_o give_v i_o health_n and_o because_o he_o nourish_v i_o but_o i_o believe_v in_o god_n because_o he_o have_v give_v i_o heretofore_o some_o taste_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o power_n in_o have_v a_o care_n of_o this_o body_n which_o be_v but_o rottenness_n so_o as_o i_o see_v he_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n in_o that_o i_o have_v a_o be_v through_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n i_o believe_v in_o he_o alone_o because_o he_o call_v i_o to_o heaven_n and_o have_v not_o create_v i_o as_o a_o ox_n or_o a_o ass_n to_o live_v here_o a_o little_a while_n but_o have_v form_v i_o after_o his_o own_o image_n to_o the_o intent_n i_o shall_v hope_v for_o the_o inheritance_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o son_n i_o believe_v that_o he_o allure_v i_o daily_o thither_o to_o the_o intent_n i_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o when_o my_o body_n be_v lay_v in_o the_o grave_n and_o there_o consume_v as_o it_o be_v to_o nothing_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o shall_v be_v

thus_o you_o see_v what_o our_o belief_n must_v be_v if_o it_o be_v well_o rule_v and_o if_o we_o be_v once_o so_o well_o dispose_v we_o may_v say_v with_o job_n well_o very_o i_o see_v my_o body_n

small_a a_o infirmity_n in_o my_o flesh_n but_o the_o same_o be_v to_o i_o a_o messenger_n of_o death_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v see_v my_o god_n if_o we_o can_v speak_v so_o when_o we_o see_v that_o our_o strength_n droup_v and_o vanish_v away_o by_o little_a and_o little_a that_o although_o it_o please_v god_n to_o smite_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o shall_v in_o manner_n rot_v above_o the_o ground_n as_o job_n do_v for_o he_o say_v that_o his_o skin_n be_v wormeaten_v &_o consume_v and_o he_o be_v as_o good_a as_o dead_a and_o yet_o he_o protest_v that_o he_o will_v not_o cease_v look_v unto_o his_o god_n yet_o shall_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o trust_v in_o god_n still_o after_o the_o example_n of_o job._n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o

say_v if_o we_o consider_v well_o to_o what_o end_n he_o have_v create_v we_o and_o still_o maintain_v we_o in_o the_o world_n furthermore_o when_o job_n say_v that_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o redeemer_n in_o his_o flesh_n his_o meaning_n be_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v restore_v to_o a_o new_a state_n though_o his_o skin_n be_v so_o eat_v as_o it_o be_v for_o he_o

therefore_o let_v we_o say_v i_o trust_v in_o god_n because_o i_o see_v he_o assist_v i_o and_o fail_v i_o not_o in_o any_o thing_n but_o when_o god_n fail_v we_o and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v estrange_v

that_o there_o can_v nothing_o proceed_v from_o he_o but_o it_o be_v good_a and_o righteous_a and_o his_o will_n only_o ought_v to_o suffice_v we_o for_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o well_o do_v this_o be_v the_o fountain_n thereof_o let_v we_o draw_v out_o of_o it_o bold_o so_o when_o he_o show_v we_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o work_n let_v we_o give_v he_o thanks_n and_o with_o all_o

true_o for_o faith_n behold_v thing_n invisible_a and_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v let_v we_o know_v then_o that_o although_o in_o death_n all_o be_v like_a yet_o there_o be_v a_o far_o diverse_a

for_o it_o shine_v unto_o we_o too_o the_o end_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v go_v too_o his_o work_n and_o to_o his_o business_n thereby_o to_o show_v we_o that_o he_o have_v not_o make_v we_o to_o

pleasure_n that_o when_o we_o be_v enrich_v we_o may_v be_v impoverish_v if_o he_o listen_v that_o when_o we_o have_v be_v in_o great_a honour_n &_o estimation_n we_o may_v come_v to_o such_o

be_v in_o a_o readiness_n before_o hand_n to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o trouble_v when_o our_o lord_n shall_v visit_v we_o in_o that_o manner_n and_o we_o have_v special_a need_n to_o be_v warn_v hereof_o because_o the_o state_n of_o christian_n be_v to_o be_v changeable_a for_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o both_o himself_o and_o his_o fellow_n be_v without_o rest_n he_o use_v that_o word_n not_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v constant_a for_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o determine_v with_o ourselves_o never_o too_o swerve_v but_o as_o touch_v the_o outward_a and_o visible_a state_n too_o the_o worldward_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v fleeting_a and_o without_o any_o rest_n so_o then_o see_v that_o god_n have_v call_v we_o thereunto_o let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o take_v heed_n that_o he_o make_v not_o his_o reckon_v without_o his_o host_n ne_o bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o he_o shall_v continue_v always_o in_o one_o state_n and_o why_o for_o he_o warrant_v himself_o that_o which_o he_o can_v perform_v behold_v here_o two_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v the_o one_o be_v that_o what_o prosperity_n soever_o we_o have_v the_o same_o be_v no_o certain_a and_o abide_a state_n and_o why_o for_o so_o be_v the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n like_a as_o if_o a_o prince_n shall_v give_v a_o man_n the_o possession_n of_o some_o lordship_n not_o in_o

and_o death_n but_o only_o when_o it_o please_v he_o according_a also_o as_o he_o know_v what_o be_v expedient_a for_o we_o lo_o here_o the_o first_o point_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o we_o must_v consider_v it_o to_o be_v the_o good_a will_n of_o our_o god_n to_o remove_v we_o from_o time_n to_o time_n so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n and_o why_o for_o if_o he_o shall_v

bear_v away_o in_o this_o text_n furthermore_o let_v every_o of_o we_o inure_v himself_o too_o consider_v the_o turn_n that_o we_o see_v in_o this_o world_n for_o our_o lord_n show_v we_o they_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v fare_v the_o better_a by_o they_o and_o special_o if_o we_o see_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v never_o mistrust_v nor_o look_v for_o afore_o as_o if_o some_o man_n be_v

if_o we_o happen_v to_o fall_v let_v we_o not_o be_v too_o much_o astonish_v and_o dismay_v because_o we_o have_v mind_v it_o a_o long_a time_n before_o hand_n â–ª_o very_o sometime_o god_n make_v

shall_v think_v the_o better_a upon_o his_o own_o frailty_n and_o not_o fall_v asleep_a
therefore_o we_o must_v not_o enclose_v god_n mighty_a power_n within_o our_o imagination_n &_o understanding_n like_a as_o god_n goodness_n be_v endless_a and_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n so_o also_o be_v his_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o his_o power_n now_o if_o we_o will_v comprehend_v this_o mightiness_n and_o power_n i_o pray_v you_o be_v we_o able_a too_o enclose_v it_o in_o our_o brain_n it_o be_v impossible_a so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o save_v we_o he_o do_v it_o not_o after_o the_o common_a fashion_n but_o work_v by_o miracle_n towards_o we_o insomuch_o that_o he_o will_v raise_v we_o even_o from_o death_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o challenge_v the_o office_n of_o send_v man_n to_o the_o grave_n and_o of_o tall_n they_o back_o again_o also_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o the_o issue_n or_o outgoing_n of_o death_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o god_n when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o our_o god_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v taste_v the_o nearness_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v make_v they_o feel_v the_o thing_n by_o experience_n which_o be_v contain_v here_o namely_o that_o he_o have_v the_o issue_n of_o death_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o what_o be_v those_o issue_n it_o be_v that_o when_o death_n shall_v have_v reign_v over_o we_o and_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o overwhelm_v so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n of_o life_n our_o lord_n can_v well_o quicken_v we_o yea_o even_o after_o a_o wonderful_a fashion_n unknown_a unto_o we_o and_o which_o man_n can_v perceive_v until_o it_o be_v show_v by_o effect_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n also_o why_o ezechiell_n have_v this_o vision_n give_v he_o that_o when_o god_n utter_v his_o word_n the_o bone_n that_o be_v dry_a before_o and_o wherein_o there_o be_v no_o substance_n come_v together_o and_o the_o sinew_n do_v knit_v again_o and_o breath_n and_o liveliness_n come_v into_o they_o and_o so_o they_o become_v live_v man_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o inestimable_a power_n of_o our_o god_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o it_o come_v too_o the_o trust_n in_o he_o we_o must_v not_o fall_v to_o reason_n â–ª_o have_v god_n any_o mean_n to_o do_v it_o be_v the_o thing_n likely_a or_o have_v we_o

too_o be_v enlarge_v upon_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n and_o see_v that_o god_n mighty_a power_n be_v not_o to_o be_v measure_v nor_o to_o be_v enclose_v and_o make_v subject_n to_o worldly_a and_o natural_a mean_n our_o belief_n also_o must_v stretch_v out_o both_o high_a and_o low_a and_o become_v infinite_a very_o it_o will_v never_o be_v so_o perfect_a as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v we_o shall_v but_o only_o have_v some_o little_a piece_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o labour_v forward_o and_o although_o our_o belief_n be_v weak_a and_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o by_o

for_o it_o must_v we_o rest_v upon_o these_o earthly_a thing_n no_o no_o but_o every_o one_o of_o we_o must_v stir_v up_o himself_o and_o consider_v well_o lord_n thou_o be_v almightte_v therefore_o

such_o a_o proof_n of_o his_o mighty_a power_n in_o the_o person_n of_o job_n let_v the_o same_o confirm_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o the_o end_n after_o that_o job_n have_v speak_v of_o the_o

they_o take_v a_o el_fw-es so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o ho_o nor_o measure_n with_o they_o but_o sure_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o spare_v those_o that_o be_v our_o inferior_n and_o above_o who_o god_n

too_o have_v himself_o only_o hear_v and_o obey_v in_o his_o own_o house_n nevertheless_o we_o see_v that_o a_o master_n have_v no_o such_o power_n over_o his_o man_n and_o maid_n but_o that_o he_o ought_v too_o hear_v they_o patient_o when_o any_o wrong_n be_v do_v they_o then_o if_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o use_v such_o gentleness_n towards_o his_o underling_n in_o his_o own_o house_n what_o

and_o pre-eminence_n but_o that_o be_v not_o to_o lord_n it_o over_o man_n so_o as_o other_o shall_v be_v in_o bondage_n to_o they_o nay_o rather_o let_v not_o king_n and_o prince_n flatter_v

to_o keep_v they_o from_o stumble_v into_o a_o deadly_a fall_n but_o that_o god_n do_v hold_v they_o back_o by_o affliction_n and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o wâ—e_n fall_v not_o

to_o humble_v we_o because_o we_o be_v dull_a and_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o fear_n god_n or_o to_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o the_o punishment_n which_o he_o send_v upon_o such_o as_o lift_v

so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n be_v hold_v at_o a_o bay_n he_o will_v undoubted_o say_v i_o have_v offend_v my_o god_n it_o behove_v i_o to_o turn_v a_o new_a leaf_n and_o he_o will_v not_o only_o make_v

to_o we_o it_o be_v not_o to_o leave_v we_o in_o doubt_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o know_v what_o his_o word_n mean_v but_o contrariwise_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v receive_v good_a doctrine_n

that_o he_o have_v err_v for_o want_n of_o better_a ability_n but_o contrariwise_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o his_o evil_a and_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v wyte_z upon_o he_o there_o

that_o he_o say_v and_o to_o submit_v a_o man_n self_n to_o he_o without_o exception_n come_v both_o to_o one_o end_n and_o undoubted_o those_o two_o commandment_n be_v inseparable_a like_a as_o god_n

comprehend_v it_o in_o his_o whole_a law_n he_o say_v not_o only_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v abstain_v from_o whoredom_n neither_o have_v he_o only_o forbid_a theft_n neither_o have_v he_o only_o

this_o a_o rend_n of_o god_n righteousness_n in_o piece_n for_o as_o i_o say_v all_o the_o commandment_n be_v inseparable_a and_o there_o be_v in_o they_o a_o holy_a bond_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v keep_v unbroken_a and_o so_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v bliss_v of_o god_n we_o must_v take_v good_a heed_n not_o to_o some_o one_o part_n of_o his_o way_n but_o to_o all_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o eliu_n mean_v to_o note_v here_o and_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v diligent_a in_o look_v to_o himself_o therefore_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o

which_o we_o feel_v so_o in_o ourselves_o lo_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o practice_v this_o sentence_n and_o furthermore_o it_o be_v show_v we_o also_o that_o when_o man_n have_v once_o begin_v to_o

be_v not_o so_o malicious_a as_o to_o give_v ourselves_o over_o to_o all_o vice_n at_o the_o first_o day_n we_o shall_v be_v hold_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n for_o a_o while_n but_o if_o we_o

thenceforth_o carry_v we_o away_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o become_v utter_o unrecoverable_a you_o see_v then_o that_o after_o man_n have_v once_o left_a to_o frame_v themselves_o whole_o to_o god_n will_v and_o to_o give_v themselves_o to_o soundness_n and_o simplicity_n they_o do_v so_o appare_v as_o there_o be_v no_o more_o consideration_n in_o they_o but_o they_o grieve_v god_n not_o

afore_o how_o rightful_a god_n justice_n be_v in_o chastise_v we_o and_o why_o they_o that_o have_v do_v amiss_o rebel_v still_o further_o against_o god_n they_o run_v away_o from_o he_o and_o have_v no_o will_n to_o be_v teach_v good_a but_o give_v themselves_o over_o unto_o evil_n witting_o and_o willing_o then_o be_v it_o not_o high_a time_n that_o god_n shall_v set_v to_o his_o hand_n to_o correct_v they_o now_o or_o never_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o always_o be_v full_o persuade_v that_o god_n never_o punish_v we_o till_o he_o have_v be_v to_o much_o provoke_v to_o anger_n and_o that_o we_o have_v deserve_v long_a time_n afore_o too_o be_v thunder_v at_o by_o
strong_a god_n truth_n be_v and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a too_o fight_v against_o it_o and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v fence_v and_o have_v many_o partaker_n yet_o must_v god_n always_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n so_o as_o his_o righteousness_n shall_v continue_v unappayr_v when_o we_o have_v bark_v our_o fill_n against_o it_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bite_v it_o as_o shall_v be_v say_v anon_o mark_v i_o say_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o strain_n and_o therefore_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v lavish_a of_o our_o tong_n when_o god_n afflict_v we_o and_o when_o thing_n go_v not_o after_o our_o mind_n let_v we_o not_o be_v impatient_a therefore_o in_o our_o affliction_n but_o let_v we_o always_o humble_a ourselves_o under_o he_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v for_o if_o we_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o barret_n with_o he_o it_o will_v be_v to_o our_o great_a confusion_n and_o shame_n you_o see_v then_o how_o all_o man_n ought_v to_o bridle_v &_o as_o it_o be_v to_o imprison_v themselves_o too_o the_o end_n they_o may_v never_o murmur_v against_o god_n nor_o blaspheme_v he_o furthermore_o though_o we_o have_v many_o partaker_n yet_o shall_v it_o not_o boot_n we_o for_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v himself_o too_o be_v overcome_v by_o never_o so_o great_a multitude_n of_o man_n it_o shall_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o we_o to_o assemble_v man_n of_o our_o own_o retinue_n for_o we_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o be_v put_v too_o the_o foil_n together_o if_o all_o the_o

thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o second_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v our_o case_n to_o be_v the_o better_a when_o we_o have_v many_o adherent_n and_o

we_o must_v not_o stick_v to_o maintain_v it_o and_o why_o for_o he_o will_v give_v we_o mouth_n and_o wisdom_n and_o also_o power_n to_o beat_v back_o all_o our_o enemy_n and_o we_o have_v great_a

fight_v bold_o against_o our_o enemy_n for_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v confound_v in_o the_o end_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o how_o we_o may_v put_v this_o text_n in_o ure_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o instruction_n special_o at_o this_o present_a time_n when_o we_o see_v the_o whole_a world_n imbattayled_a against_o god_n and_o the_o multitude_n of_o enemy_n so_o great_a as_o it_o may_v utter_o discourage_v we_o if_o our_o lord_n do_v not_o comfort_v we_o by_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o answer_v for_o he_o though_o there_o be_v never_o so_o many_o gaynsayer_n that_o be_v so_o confederate_a together_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o answer_n that_o eliu_n make_v behold_v the_o sky_n say_v he_o look_v up_o too_o the_o great_a heaven_n they_o be_v high_a than_o thou_o and_o thou_o can_v never_o reach_v too_o they_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o very_a raw_a answer_n for_o have_v he_o none_o other_o reason_n whereby_o too_o show_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n yes_o but_o if_o this_o say_n be_v apply_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o such_o as_o blaspheme_v god_n for_o by_o behold_v of_o the_o heaven_n he_o lead_v we_o to_o another_o consideration_n which_o be_v that_o our_o do_v well_o profit_v not_o our_o god_n and_o that_o our_o do_v evil_a can_v hurt_v he_o for_o what_o shall_v he_o be_v the_o worse_a for_o it_o see_v it_o be_v so_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v measure_v according_a unto_o man_n for_o he_o be_v not_o revengeful_a as_o who_o will_v say_v he_o be_v angry_a when_o a_o man_n do_v he_o wrong_n or_o that_o he_o be_v lead_v by_o affection_n like_o a_o man_n that_o look_v to_o be_v please_v and_o think_v himself_o behold_v to_o another_o man_n for_o do_v he_o any_o service_n god_n be_v none_o such_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o measure_v he_o by_o our_o own_o meateyearde_n nor_o imagine_v any_o fleshliness_n in_o he_o for_o the_o very_a sky_n that_o be_v under_o his_o foot_n do_v show_v well_o that_o he_o be_v not_o like_o we_o nor_o meddle_v here_o with_o we_o to_o have_v any_o part_n at_o all_o of_o our_o nature_n therefore_o we_o see_v that_o this_o reason_n where_o it_o be_v say_v behold_v the_o sky_n and_o look_v up_o above_o thy_o head_n be_v sufficient_a too_o beat_v down_o all_o those_o that_o dare_v lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o god_n but_o now_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o lay_v out_o that_o which_o follow_v by_o peecemele_n too_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v the_o better_a understand_v when_o eliu_n say_v if_o thou_o do_v good_a what_o profit_n do_v god_n receive_v by_o it_o he_o show_v thereby_o that_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v unto_o we_o mark_v that_o for_o the_o first_o point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o he_o be_v not_o affection_a as_o man_n be_v when_o any_o pleasure_n be_v do_v they_o they_o be_v move_v with_o it_o because_o they_o be_v passable_a but_o god_n be_v not_o so_o we_o can_v neither_o show_v he_o friendship_n nor_o favour_n and_o so_o he_o be_v not_o like_a unto_o we_o and_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n bind_v unto_o we_o do_v what_o we_o can_v it_o be_v a_o very_a true_a thing_n notwithstanding_o we_o see_v how_o man_n grow_v proud_a yea_o even_o without_o cause_n or_o occasion_n &_o will_v make_v god_n believe_v that_o he_o be_v behold_v to_o they_o although_o they_o can_v bring_v he_o nothing_o and_o this_o draw_v after_o it_o a_o mischeevouse_n tail_n of_o superstition_n why_o do_v the_o papist_n labour_v so_o much_o at_o this_o day_n for_o these_o ceremony_n and_o gewgaw_n it_o be_v because_o they_o think_v that_o god_n receive_v some_o profit_n by_o they_o when_o they_o make_v many_o gewgaw_n and_o have_v babble_a and_o trot_v from_o place_n to_o place_n they_o think_v they_o have_v make_v a_o fair_a work_n when_o their_o churchstuffe_n be_v well_o deck_v and_o when_o they_o have_v well_o trim_v and_o wash_v their_o puppet_n as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v make_v a_o goodly_a banquet_n and_o deck_v up_o a_o house_n &_o bestraw_v it_o with_o rush_n and_o other_o thing_n the_o papist_n i_o say_v surmise_v that_o god_n delight_v in_o these_o nice_a toy_n and_o that_o he_o take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o but_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v that_o we_o can_v bring_v any_o thing_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o
and_o good_a right_n also_o be_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v hold_v scorn_n of_o and_o shut_v out_o now_o than_o job_n hold_v here_o the_o room_n and_o office_n of_o a_o priest_n when_o he_o make_v

god_n for_o other_o man_n pardon_v and_o yet_o can_v not_o he_o himself_o come_v thither_o without_o a_o mediator_n and_o advocate_n and_o how_o then_o can_v he_o have_v obtain_v grace_n for_o all_o the_o rest_n if_o god_n have_v not_o enjoin_v he_o that_o charge_n and_o so_o as_o touch_v the_o present_a act_n god_n appoint_v job_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o it_o behove_v he_o so_o to_o be_v for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v no_o man_n ought_v to_o take_v that_o honour_n upon_o he_o save_v he_o that_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n and_o such_o a_o one_o be_v a_o true_a and_o lawful_a priest_n like_v as_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o be_v who_o though_o he_o be_v master_n in_o the_o church_n and_o the_o head_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n and_o sit_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n his_o father_n do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o not_o thrust_v in_o himself_o but_o be_v call_v thereunto_o with_o a_o solemn_a oath_n by_o he_o that_o say_v to_o he_o i_o have_v swear_v and_o will_v not_o repent_v thou_o be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedecke_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o job_n be_v set_v forth_o here_o for_o a_o priest_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v gather_v thereof_o that_o whensoever_o we_o have_v to_o seek_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n every_o of_o we_o must_v not_o thrust_v forth_o himself_o without_o have_v any_o better_a means_n but_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o give_v we_o access_n and_o to_o open_v we_o the_o gate_n and_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n his_o father_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v herd_n there_o &_o that_o the_o throne_n of_o majesty_n may_v not_o be_v terrible_a but_o amiable_a to_o we_o now_o if_o this_o be_v do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n yea_o and_o even_o among_o those_o to_o who_o god_n communicate_v not_o himself_o so_o familiar_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v in_o these_o day_n when_o we_o have_v a_o full_a declaration_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_a advocate_n which_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o our_o suit_n may_v be_v well_o receive_v and_o herein_o appear_v the_o unthankfulness_n of_o the_o world_n for_o what_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o seek_v so_o many_o advocate_n and_o patroness_n and_o that_o every_o man_n have_v have_v a_o several_a devotion_n to_o bring_v himself_o in_o unto_o god_n but_o because_o man_n have_v not_o know_v the_o office_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o whensoever_o any_o of_o we_o offend_v he_o must_v not_o step_v rash_o to_o the_o heavenly_a throne_n but_o come_v thither_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o he_o that_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o purpose_n and_o then_o be_v we_o sure_a that_o god_n will_v not_o shake_v we_o off_o for_o we_o have_v his_o promise_n which_o can_v deceive_v we_o but_o if_o we_o come_v thither_o geerish_o or_o at_o adventure_n it_o shall_v not_o boot_n we_o awhitte_n in_o like_a case_n be_v it_o with_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o for_o the_o prayer_n be_v never_o hear_v without_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o why_o for_o god_n intend_v to_o show_v that_o of_o good_a right_n man_n be_v unworthy_a to_o come_v unto_o he_o because_o all_o have_v deserve_v death_n and_o there_o before_o that_o their_o come_n thither_o shall_v be_v but_o their_o destruction_n therefore_o all_o they_o that_o ever_o mind_a to_o obtain_v favour_n have_v bring_v some_o sacrifice_n with_o they_o to_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o god_n judgement_n and_o that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v deliver_v otherwise_o than_o by_o sacrifice_n the_o very_a heathen_a man_n have_v also_o follow_v the_o same_o but_o they_o understand_v not_o to_o what_o end_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v but_o only_o a_o witness_n against_o themselves_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v god_n will_v to_o leave_v a_o precedent_n through_o the_o whole_a world_n where_o by_o man_n shall_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o damnation_n in_o themselves_o and_o that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v rid_v of_o it_o except_o their_o sin_n be_v blot_v out_o by_o make_v some_o amends_n but_o now_o have_v we_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o revel_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v that_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o pray_v before_o god_n we_o must_v have_v our_o recourse_n too_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o we_o can_v otherwise_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o our_o prayer_n must_v be_v besprinkle_v with_o the_o blood_n which_o he_o do_v shed_v to_o wash_v away_o our_o spot_v thus_o you_o sehow_v we_o may_v become_v acceptable_a to_o god_n notwithstanding_o that_o of_o good_a right_n he_o be_v our_o mortal_a enemy_n and_o that_o as_o we_o have_v make_v war_n unto_o he_o so_o his_o vengeance_n and_o curse_n lie_v upon_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n by_o come_v unto_o he_o with_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o our_o use_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o &_o our_o prayer_n may_v be_v bliss_v and_o thorough_o accept_v of_o god_n for_o than_o will_v he_o not_o fail_v too_o receive_v we_o into_o favour_n howbeit_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v here_o that_o whereas_o god_n say_v to_o the_o end_n i_o do_v no_o folly_n unto_o you_o for_o so_o be_v it_o word_n for_o word_n in_o the_o text_n that_o manner_n of_o speech_n will_v be_v somewhat_o with_o the_o hard_a but_o if_o we_o mark_v what_o be_v write_v in_o the_o eighteen_o psalm_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o plain_a and_o easy_a declaration_n of_o this_o say_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v handle_v man_n according_a as_o he_o find_v they_o with_o the_o froward_a say_v he_o i_o will_v deal_v froward_o this_o may_v seem_v very_o strange_a nevertheless_o it_o prove_v not_o that_o god_n change_v his_o purpose_n or_o be_v like_a unto_o we_o but_o only_o import_v that_o we_o shall_v find_v god_n to_o be_v a_o rough_a rider_n to_o a_o rough_a horse_n as_o the_o proverb_n say_v for_o if_o we_o be_v stubborn_a and_o stiffnecked_a so_o as_o we_o will_v not_o bow_v god_n will_v come_v upon_o we_o with_o main_a blow_n of_o the_o beetle_n then_o it_o may_v seem_v unto_o we_o that_o god_n be_v terrible_a and_o fierce_a according_a therefore_o as_o we_o find_v god_n too_o be_v and_o as_o we_o conceive_v he_o too_o be_v in_o our_o fancy_n when_o he_o strike_v upon_o we_o such_o a_o one_o be_v he_o say_v too_o be_v although_o no_o change_n can_v light_v upon_o his_o majesty_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o this_o text_n it_o be_v say_v to_o the_o end_n i_o do_v no_o folly_n with_o you_o as_o though_o our_o lord_n shall_v say_v too_o the_o end_n that_o i_o handle_v you_o not_o according_a too_o your_o folly_n and_o frowardness_n for_o the_o word_n import_v that_o also_o too_o the_o intent_n then_o that_o i_o execute_v not_o my_o vengeance_n upon_o you_o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o the_o intent_n i_o handle_v you_o not_o after_o such_o fashion_n as_o you_o have_v deserve_v look_v that_o you_o go_v to_o my_o servant_n job._n this_o be_v according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v already_o namely_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o job_n friend_n have_v knowledge_n of_o their_o offence_n be_v not_o yet_o sufficient_o subdeve_v god_n be_v fain_o too_o discover_v their_o shame_n further_o and_o too_o make_v they_o perceive_v that_o if_o he_o shall_v handle_v they_o as_o they_o be_v worthy_a it_o will_v be_v a_o terrible_a deal_n too_o they_o and_o therefore_o that_o when_o job_n come_v as_o a_o mean_a betwixt_o they_o with_o his_o prayer_n than_o he_o will_v be_v at_o one_o with_o they_o and_o therewithal_o their_o obedience_n be_v declare_v in_o that_o they_o do_v as_o god_n have_v command_v they_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v how_o man_n be_v

heart_n for_o before_o that_o time_n job_n friend_n have_v take_v he_o for_o a_o reprobate_n and_o give_v judgement_n upon_o
see_v man_n be_v ordain_v too_o sin_n see_v he_o be_v misframe_v by_o nature_n see_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o ignorance_n in_o he_o see_v he_o be_v altogether_o rebellious_a against_o god_n what_o

god_n shall_v pursue_v he_o with_o such_o rigour_n &_o utter_v his_o force_n so_o against_o he_o and_o as_o we_o have_v see_v afore_o he_o declare_v that_o the_o life_n be_v not_o so_o short_a but_o it_o be_v much_o more_o miserable_a &_o man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o continual_a torment_n in_o it_o but_o now_o he_o add_v further_a that_o god_n have_v the_o life_n of_o man_n in_o his_o hand_n &_o have_v limit_v it_o a_o term_n which_o can_v be_v pass_v if_o a_o man_n live_v but_o for_o a_o few_o day_n and_o that_o god_n have_v not_o ordain_v it_o yet_o may_v a_o man_n say_v well_o god_n

shall_v live_v and_o all_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o determination_n and_o see_v he_o have_v point_a the_o last_o instant_n of_o our_o life_n and_o will_v have_v we_o to_o come_v to_o the_o same_o see_v it_o be_v so_o say_v job_n that_o he_o can_v endure_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v finish_v his_o course_n and_o come_v to_o his_o day_n end_n as_o do_v a_o hireling_n why_o do_v he_o not_o handle_v i_o more_o gentle_o and_o see_v we_o be_v so_o trouble_v with_o unquietness_n in_o this_o present_a life_n it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v like_o a_o labourer_n that_o be_v hire_v by_o the_o day_n look_v upon_o a_o labour_a man_n see_v he_o toil_v himself_o too_o earn_v a_o piece_n of_o money_n but_o when_o his_o day_n work_n be_v at_o a_o end_n he_o take_v his_o rest_n he_o have_v

his_o own_o passion_n which_o we_o must_v not_o allow_v of_o for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n condemn_v they_o and_o wherefore_o be_v they_o write_v first_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v see_v that_o even_o the_o perfect_a sort_n although_o they_o be_v never_o so_o patient_a fail_v not_o too_o have_v great_a hardiness_n in_o fight_a against_o the_o passion_n of_o their_o flesh_n when_o god_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o job_n and_o such_o other_o like_o be_v make_v of_o steel_n or_o senseless_a folk_n although_o there_o be_v a_o singular_a stoutness_n in_o they_o &_o that_o they_o endeavour_v themselves_o to_o obey_v god_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o without_o touch_n of_o breast_n for_o they_o be_v fain_o too_o feel_v marvelous_a sting_n in_o their_o flesh_n and_o although_o they_o outstoode_v the_o temptation_n and_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o they_o yet_o have_v they_o storm_n and_o be_v toss_v too_o and_o fro_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n and_o this_o be_v tell_v we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v stand_v the_o more_o upon_o our_o guard_n and_o pray_v god_n too_o strengthen_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o although_o we_o have_v never_o so_o good_a a_o desire_n to_o honour_n he_o yet_o shall_v we_o be_v vanquish_v by_o and_o by_o be_v it_o not_o that_o he_o hold_v we_o up_o by_o his_o hand_n and_o give_v we_o strength_n from_o above_o to_o fight_v valiant_o with_o steadfastness_n beside_o this_o we_o be_v admonish_v also_o not_o to_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n though_o we_o seem_v at_o the_o point_n to_o quail_v nor_o to_o be_v discourage_v for_o all_o that_o for_o the_o excellent_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v have_v always_o be_v so_o effeeble_v for_o a_o time_n howbeit_o god_n have_v stand_v to_o they_o in_o such_o

to_o soothe_v ourselves_o in_o our_o own_o vice_n final_o let_v we_o consider_v to_o what_o use_n we_o ought_v to_o apply_v that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o god_n have_v bound_v the_o time_n of_o man_n life_n very_o well_o be_v it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v say_v he_o ought_v too_o leave_v we_o as_o he_o find_v we_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v get_v he_o away_o from_o we_o as_o job_n say_v yesterday_o that_o it_o seem_v unreasonable_a that_o god_n shall_v open_v his_o eye_n upon_o so_o wretched_a creature_n and_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o let_v man_n alone_o there_o because_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a too_o be_v match_v with_o he_o for_o what_o strength_n be_v there_o in_o they_o no._n but_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o a_o fair_a hand_n we_o shall_v make_v if_o god_n shall_v get_v he_o away_o from_o we_o i_o mean_v if_o he_o shall_v not_o guide_v we_o to_o redress_v we_o when_o we_o do_v amiss_o if_o we_o live_v but_o one_o day_n without_o god_n visitation_n we_o fall_v asleep_a in_o our_o sin_n &_o much_o more_o if_o he_o spare_v we_o a_o long_a time_n according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o when_o man_n be_v in_o prosperity_n they_o know_v not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n which_o be_v a_o judge_n over_o they_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o be_v hold_v under_o any_o yoke_n or_o to_o be_v bridle_v a_o man_n can_v by_o any_o mean_n bring_v they_o to_o reason_n see_v it_o be_v so_o how_o rebellious_a will_v we_o be_v if_o god_n shall_v let_v we_o alone_o all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n how_o will_v we_o play_v the_o horse_n that_o be_v break_v loose_a there_o will_v be_v no_o way_n to_o make_v we_o to_o know_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v return_v unto_o god_n therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o pray_v he_o too_o pity_v we_o and_o so_o to_o tame_v all_o the_o lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n as_o we_o may_v be_v teachable_a and_o obedient_a towards_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o it_o be_v a_o excessive_a passion_n in_o job_n too_o allege_v that_o it_o be_v meet_v and_o convenient_a for_o god_n to_o let_v man_n alone_o as_o they_o be_v because_o their_o life_n be_v short_a and_o brittle_a and_o because_o that_o he_o himself_o have_v assign_v it_o a_o determinate_a term_n again_o it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v watch_v over_o we_o and_o look_v narrow_o to_o we_o because_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o we_o to_o guide_v our_o own_o step_n and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o in_o his_o protection_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o for_o it_o be_v pitiful_a to_o see_v with_o how_o many_o death_n we_o be_v besiege_v have_v not_o god_n need_v then_o to_o have_v a_o fatherly_a care_n of_o our_o life_n so_o whereas_o job_n desire_v god_n to_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o he_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o draw_v near_o we_o and_o that_o in_o two_o sort_n the_o first_o be_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n to_o be_v in_o his_o custody_n to_o be_v maintain_v by_o he_o because_o we_o live_v not_o but_o in_o he_o nor_o be_v sustain_v but_o by_o his_o power_n it_o may_v please_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o presence_n and_o to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v newre_n at_o hand_n to_o we_o too_o aid_v we_o and_o succour_n we_o and_o furthermore_o which_o be_v the_o second_o point_n that_o it_o may_v also_o please_v he_o to_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n with_o we_o to_o chastise_v we_o when_o he_o see_v we_o too_o far_o out_o of_o square_a true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v he_o too_o use_v such_o gentleness_n towards_o we_o as_o we_o may_v not_o be_v press_v more_o than_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v but_o yet_o therewithal_o we_o have_v also_o to_o desire_v he_o to_o lift_v up_o his_o hand_n when_o he_o see_v that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o any_o correction_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v let_v we_o alone_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o rock_v we_o asleep_a and_o to_o make_v we_o very_a block_n thus_o much_o concern_v that_o point_n but_o above_o all_o we_o ought_v to_o weigh_v well_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n be_v determine_v by_o god_n that_o be_v have_v the_o account_n of_o our_o month_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o he_o have_v set_v a_o ordinance_n which_o can_v be_v pass_v hereupon_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o take_v great_a comfort_n for_o that_o our_o life_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n behold_v here_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n be_v so_o fearful_a as_o they_o dare_v not_o stir_v one_o finger_n but_o with_o tremble_v and_o it_o seem_v too_o they_o that_o this_o thing_n or_o that_o thing_n may_v befall_v they_o namely_o for_o that_o they_o know_v not_o that_o god_n have_v they_o in_o his_o keep_n and_o that_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o as_o well_o to_o take_v they_o out_o of_o this_o world_n as_o he_o have_v create_v they_o for_o be_v we_o thorough_o persuade_v of_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v go_v on_o our_o pace_n &_o not_o be_v so_o torment_v as_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o make_v account_v of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n have_v limit_v our_o day_n howbeit_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o must_v keep_v a_o mean_a in_o this_o behalf_n for_o although_o we_o ought_v to_o warrant_v ourselves_o see_n our_o life_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v rash_a to_o cast_v ourselves_o geerish_o into_o any_o danger_n but_o we_o must_v walk_v advise_o according_o as_o god_n command_v we_o there_o be_v some_o fantastical_a person_n who_o hear_v that_o the_o day_n of_o a_o man_n be_v number_v and_o that_o we_o can_v neither_o lengthen_v nor_o shorten_v our_o life_n because_o it_o be_v in_o god_n hand_n and_o at_o his_o
