let_v they_o that_o be_v swearer_n be_v swearer_n still_o let_v they_o that_o be_v wanton_n be_v wanton_n still_o let_v they_o that_o be_v careless_a prelate_n be_v careless_a still_o let_v they_o that_o be_v usurer_n be_v usurer_n still_o but_o say_v solomon_n remember_v thy_o end_n that_o thou_o shall_v be_v call_v to_o judgement_n at_o the_o last_o for_o altogether_o this_o be_v the_o counsel_n of_o solomon_n the_o wise_a then_o live_v what_o a_o counsel_n be_v this_o for_o a_o wise_a man_n such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v solomon_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o book_n he_o say_v all_o be_v vanity_n and_o in_o the_o end_n he_o say_v fear_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n in_o the_o 12._o chapter_n he_o say_v remember_v thy_o maker_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n but_o here_o he_o say_v rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n here_o he_o speak_v like_o a_o epicure_n which_o say_v eat_v drink_n and_o be_v merry_a here_o he_o counseles_a and_o here_o he_o mock_n yet_o not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o scorner_n although_o they_o deserve_v it_o in_o show_v their_o foolishness_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o proverbe_n he_o laugh_v at_o the_o wicked_a in_o derision_n as_o in_o the_o second_o psalm_n god_n see_v we_o follow_v our_o own_o way_n for_o when_o he_o bid_v we_o pray_v we_o play_v and_o when_o he_o bid_v we_o run_v we_o stand_v still_o and_o when_o he_o bid_v we_o fast_o we_o feast_v and_o send_v for_o vanity_n to_o make_v we_o sport_n then_o he_o laugh_v at_o our_o destruction_n therefore_o when_o solomon_n give_v a_o sharp_a reproof_n and_o make_v you_o ashamed_a in_o a_o word_n he_o scoff_o bid_v you_o do_v it_o again_o like_o a_o schoolmaster_n which_o beat_v his_o scholar_n for_o play_v the_o truant_n he_o bid_v he_o play_v the_o truant_n again_o o_o this_o be_v the_o bitter_a reproof_n of_o all_o but_o least_o any_o libertine_n shall_v misconstrue_v solomon_n and_o say_v that_o he_o bid_v we_o be_v merry_a and_o make_v much_o of_o ourselves_o therefore_o he_o shut_v up_o with_o a_o watchword_n and_o set_v a_o bridle_n before_o his_o lip_n and_o reprove_v it_o as_o he_o speak_v it_o before_o he_o go_v any_o further_a and_o say_v but_o remember_v that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n thou_o must_v come_v to_o judgement_n but_o if_o we_o will_v understand_v his_o meaning_n he_o mean_v when_o he_o say_v rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n repent_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n and_o when_o he_o say_v let_v thy_o heart_n cheer_v thou_o let_v thy_o sin_n grieve_v thou_o for_o he_o mean_v otherwise_o then_o he_o speak_v he_o speak_v like_o michai_n in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n the_o second_o chapter_n go_v up_o and_o prosper_v or_o like_v as_o ezechiel_n go_v up_o and_o serve_v other_o god_n or_o as_o saint_n john_n speak_v in_o the_o revelation_n let_v they_o that_o be_v wicked_a be_v wickea_fw-mi still_o but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o judgement_n day_n that_o be_v a_o merry_a world_n therefore_o say_v solomon_n when_o thou_o be_v in_o thy_o pleasure_n flaunt_v in_o the_o field_n and_o in_o thy_o brave_a ruff_n and_o among_o thy_o lover_n with_o thy_o smile_a look_n thy_o wanton_a talk_n and_o merry_a jest_n with_o thy_o pleasant_a game_n and_o lofty_a look_n remember_v for_o all_o these_o thing_n thou_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n while_o the_o thief_n steal_v the_o hemp_n grow_v and_o the_o hook_n be_v cover_v within_o the_o bait_n we_o sit_v down_o to_o eat_v and_o rise_v up_o to_o play_v and_o from_o play_n to_o sleep_v and_o a_o hundred_o year_n be_v count_v little_a enough_o to_o sin_n in_o but_o how_o many_o sin_n thou_o have_v set_v on_o the_o score_n so_o many_o kind_n of_o punishment_n shall_v be_v provide_v for_o thou_o how_o many_o year_n of_o pleasure_n thou_o have_v take_v so_o many_o year_n of_o pain_n how_o many_o dam_n of_o delight_n so_o many_o pound_n of_o dolour_n when_o iniqui_fw-la tie_n have_v play_v her_o part_n vengeance_n leap_v upon_o the_o stage_n the_o comedy_n be_v short_a but_o the_o tragedy_n be_v long_o the_o black_a guard_n shall_v attend_v upon_o you_o you_o shall_v eat_v at_o the_o table_n of_o sorrow_n and_o the_o crown_n of_o death_n shall_v be_v upon_o your_o head_n many_o glister_a face_n look_v on_o you_o and_o this_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o sinner_n when_o the_o devil_n have_v entice_v they_o to_o sin_n he_o presume_v like_o the_o old_a prophet_n in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n who_o when_o he_o have_v entice_v the_o young_a prophet_n contrary_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n to_o turn_v home_o with_o he_o and_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v he_o curse_v he_o for_o his_o labour_n because_o he_o disobey_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o as_o a_o lion_n devour_v he_o by_o the_o way_n the_o foolish_a virgin_n think_v that_o their_o oil_n will_v never_o be_v spend_v so_o dina_n straggle_v abroad_o while_o she_o be_v deflower_v what_o a_o thing_n be_v this_o to_o say_v rejoice_v &_o then_o repent_v what_o a_o blank_a to_o say_v take_v thy_o pleasure_n &_o then_o thou_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v steal_v and_o be_v hang_v steal_v and_o thou_o dare_v strangle_v sin_n the_o cradle_n for_o all_o the_o wisdom_n in_o the_o world_n will_v not_o help_v thou_o else_o but_o thou_o shall_v be_v in_o admiration_n like_o dreamer_n which_o dream_v strange_a thing_n and_o know_v not_o how_o they_o come_v he_o say_v remember_v judgement_n if_o thou_o remember_v always_o than_o thou_o shall_v have_v little_a list_n to_o sin_n if_o thou_o remember_v this_o than_o thou_o sahtl_n have_v little_a list_n to_o fall_v down_o to_o the_o devil_n though_o he_o will_v give_v thou_o all_o the_o world_n and_o the_o glory_n thereof_o solomon_n say_v the_o weed_n grow_v from_o a_o weed_n to_o a_o cockle_n from_o a_o cockle_n to_o a_o bramble_n from_o a_o bramble_n to_o a_o brier_n from_o a_o brier_n to_o a_o thorn_n lie_v breed_v perjury_n perjury_n breed_v haughtiness_n of_o heart_n haughtiness_n of_o heart_n breed_v contempt_n contempt_n breed_v obstinacy_n and_o bring_v forth_o much_o evil_n and_o this_o be_v the_o whole_a progress_n of_o sin_n he_o grow_v from_o a_o liar_n to_o a_o thief_n from_o a_o thief_n to_o a_o murderer_n and_o never_o leave_v until_o he_o have_v search_v all_o the_o room_n in_o hell_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v never_o satisfy_v the_o more_o he_o sin_v the_o more_o he_o search_v to_o sin_n when_o he_o have_v deceive_v nay_o he_o have_v not_o deceive_v thou_o assoon_o as_o he_o have_v that_o he_o desire_v he_o have_v not_o that_o he_o desire_v when_o he_o have_v leave_v fight_v he_o go_v to_o fight_v again_o yet_o a_o little_a and_o a_o little_a more_o and_o so_o we_o flit_v from_o one_o sin_n to_o another_o while_o i_o preach_v you_o hear_v iniquity_n engender_v within_o you_o and_o will_v break_v forth_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o be_v go_v so_o christ_n weep_v jerusalem_n laugh_v adam_n break_v one_o and_o we_o break_v ten_o like_a child_n which_o laugh_v and_o cry_v so_o as_o if_o we_o keep_v a_o shop_n of_o vice_n now_o this_o sin_n and_o then_o that_o from_o one_o sin_n to_o another_o o_o remember_v thy_o end_n say_v solomon_n and_o that_o thou_o must_v come_v to_o judgement_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o they_o that_o have_v try_v they_o most_o be_v condemn_v most_o rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n but_o if_o thou_o mark_v solomon_n he_o harp_v upon_o one_o string_n he_o double_v it_o again_o and_o again_o to_o show_v we_o thing_n of_o his_o own_o experience_n because_o we_o be_v so_o forgetful_a thereof_o in_o ourselves_o like_o the_o dreamer_n that_o forget_v his_o dream_n and_o the_o swearer_n his_o swear_n so_o we_o beg_v of_o every_o unclean_a spirit_n until_o we_o have_v bombast_v ourselves_o up_o to_o the_o throat_n fill_v every_o corner_n of_o our_o heart_n withal_o uncleanness_n and_o then_o we_o be_v like_o the_o dog_n that_o come_v out_o of_o the_o sink_n and_o make_v every_o one_o as_o foul_a as_o himself_o therefore_o say_v solomon_n if_o any_o one_o will_v learn_v the_o way_n to_o hell_n let_v he_o take_v his_o pleasure_n i_o think_v i_o see_v the_o dialogue_n between_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n the_o worst_a speak_v first_o and_o the_o flesh_n say_v soul_n take_v thy_o ease_n eat_v drink_n and_o go_v brave_a lie_v soft_a what_o else_o shall_v you_o do_v but_o take_v your_o pleasure_n thou_o know_v what_o a_o pleasant_a fellow_n i_o have_v be_v unto_o thou_o thou_o know_v what_o delight_n thou_o have_v have_v by_o my_o mean_n but_o the_o soul_n come_v in_o burden_a with_o that_o which_o have_v
allege_v these_o strict_a place_n against_o we_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_v shall_v die_v the_o death_n curse_a be_v he_o that_o abide_v not_o in_o every_o point_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v it_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o bring_v in_o our_o conscience_n to_o witness_v against_o we_o and_o then_o infer_v this_o hard_a conclusion_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n in_o salvation_n then_o if_o he_o see_v that_o we_o appeal_v from_o justice_n to_o mercy_n and_o say_v at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n repent_v the_o judge_n put_v all_o his_o wickedness_n out_o of_o his_o remembrance_n he_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o crafty_a worlding_n deal_v in_o matter_n of_o law_n who_o when_o they_o see_v their_o matter_n pass_v against_o they_o in_o high_a court_n bring_v down_o their_o case_n into_o the_o country_n to_o be_v decide_v by_o the_o neighbour_n who_o either_o for_o their_o simplicity_n can_v or_o for_o their_o favour_n dare_v not_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o matter_n 1_o so_o our_o adversary_n though_o god_n himself_o do_v discharge_v we_o though_o our_o conscience_n do_v testify_v our_o innocence_n yet_o he_o accuse_v in_o the_o third_o court_n before_o man_n where_o he_o be_v bold_a to_o pour_v out_o his_o whole_a venom_n and_o poison_n of_o his_o malice_n against_o we_o and_o to_o forge_v what_o lie_v and_o slander_n and_o libel_n he_o listen_v because_o he_o know_v they_o shall_v be_v receive_v as_o true_a 2_o thus_o he_o accuse_v christ_n jesus_n our_o bless_a lord_n and_o saviour_n before_o pontius_n pilate_n and_o cause_v diverse_a false_a and_o untrue_a witness_n to_o come_v in_o against_o he_o but_o if_o he_o be_v malicious_a only_o to_o wish_v our_o destruction_n and_o not_o mighty_a to_o wreak_v his_o malice_n we_o shall_v have_v little_a cause_n to_o fear_v but_o he_o be_v mighty_a therefore_o he_o be_v term_v a_o lion_n the_o power_n of_o darkness_n a_o great_a dragon_n which_o draw_v to_o the_o earth_n the_o three_o part_n of_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n that_o be_v with_o earthly_a 12._o luke_n 11._o ephe_n 6._o reve._n 12._o temptation_n to_o have_v overthrow_v they_o which_o seem_v to_o shine_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n as_o lamp_n and_o star_n o_o then_o how_o easy_a be_v our_o overthrow_n if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o hold_v we_o up_o which_o shine_v not_o as_o star_n in_o heaven_n but_o creep_v like_a worm_n on_o earth_n 3_o yet_o if_o he_o be_v but_o malicious_a and_o mighty_a it_o be_v better_o with_o we_o but_o he_o be_v fierce_a and_o therefore_o call_v a_o roar_a lion_n who_o lay_v wait_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o godly_a stir_v up_o bloodthirsty_a persecutor_n to_o make_v themselves_o drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o saint_n as_o most_o greivous_o he_o do_v from_o the_o time_n of_o john_n baptist_n to_o the_o reign_n of_o maxentius_n the_o space_n of_o 294._o year_n slay_v some_o by_o the_o sword_n burning_z other_o with_o fire_n hang_v some_o on_o the_o

4_o to_o this_o malice_n might_n and_o rage_n be_v add_v his_o subtle_a policy_n which_o he_o use_v in_o circumvent_a the_o faithful_a he_o do_v not_o pitch_v his_o tent_n in_o any_o one_o place_n but_o walk_v about_o from_o place_n to_o place_n to_o spy_v out_o his_o best_a advantage_n in_o the_o 1._o john_n 1._o night_n he_o sow_v tare_n and_o in_o the_o day_n he_o hinder_v the_o growth_n thereof_o 5_o he_o proceed_v after_o further_o and_o add_v to_o his_o policy_n industry_n he_o consider_v our_o nature_n and_o disposition_n and_o to_o what_o sin_n we_o do_v most_o incline_v and_o thereunto_o he_o appli_v himself_o sometime_o by_o flattery_n sometime_o by_o fear_n sometime_o by_o feed_v our_o humour_n he_o subtle_o entice_v we_o sometime_o by_o violence_n he_o go_v about_o to_o enforce_v we_o sometime_o by_o change_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n he_o endevour_v to_o betray_v our_o soul_n into_o his_o hand_n and_o in_o whatsoever_o estate_n he_o find_v we_o he_o thereby_o take_v occasion_n to_o lay_v siege_n to_o our_o soul_n thus_o you_o see_v note_v in_o a_o word_n the_o force_n of_o our_o adversary_n examine_v now_o yourselves_o whether_o you_o have_v any_o thing_n in_o yourselves_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o weakness_n and_o corruption_n it_o be_v god_n that_o give_v strength_n to_o the_o mighty_a wisdom_n to_o the_o prudent_a and_o knowledge_n to_o the_o understanding_n he_o teach_v david_n hand_n to_o fight_v 144._o psa_fw-la 144._o and_o his_o finger_n to_o battle_n he_o give_v strength_n to_o his_o arm_n to_o break_v abow_n even_o abow_n of_o steel_n wherefore_o let_v neither_o the_o wise_a man_n glory_n in_o his_o wisdom_n nor_o the_o strong_a man_n in_o his_o strength_n but_o let_v he_o that_o glori_v glory_n in_o the_o lord_n second_o we_o be_v to_o seek_v unto_o god_n alone_o because_o none_o be_v so_o present_a as_o he_o for_o god_n because_o he_o be_v almighty_a and_o with_o his_o power_n fill_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v present_a always_o with_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o ready_a to_o succour_v they_o in_o distress_n the_o lord_n be_v near_o to_o all_o that_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o truth_n he_o hear_v our_o groan_n &_o sigh_n and_o know_v what_o thing_n be_v necessary_a for_o we_o before_o we_o ask_v the_o three_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v seek_v unto_o god_n be_v none_o be_v so_o able_a to_o help_v as_o he_o but_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v have_v particular_a occasion_n to_o speak_v when_o i_o come_v to_o this_o point_n and_o pray_v unto_o the_o almighty_a the_o four_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v seek_v christ_n alone_o be_v because_o there_o be_v none_o so_o willing_a to_o help_v we_o as_o he_o it_o be_v a_o great_a courage_n to_o we_o to_o make_v suit_n when_o we_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o willingness_n of_o he_o to_o who_o we_o make_v suit_n &_o i_o pray_v you_o who_o be_v ever_o more_o careful_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o more_o watchful_a over_o we_o than_o the_o lord_n who_o ever_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o be_v confound_v in_o this_o respect_n he_o be_v call_v a_o father_n because_o as_o the_o father_n tender_v his_o son_n so_o the_o lord_n do_v all_o those_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o can_v there_o be_v any_o more_o willing_a to_o help_v we_o than_o christ_n who_o whole_a head_n be_v sick_a and_o who_o heart_n be_v heavy_a for_o our_o sake_n yea_o in_o who_o body_n from_o the_o sole_a of_o the_o foot_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o the_o head_n be_v nothing_o but_o wound_n and_o swell_n and_o sore_n but_o alas_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o that_o he_o suffer_v for_o our_o sake_n he_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o fear_n and_o horror_n till_o his_o sweat_n be_v drop_n of_o blood_n and_o his_o bone_n bruise_v in_o the_o flesh_n he_o be_v whip_v and_o scourge_v and_o chastise_v with_o sorrow_n till_o he_o cry_v out_o in_o the_o bitterness_n of_o his_o soul_n o_o lord_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o the_o heavy_a hand_n of_o god_n be_v so_o grievous_a upon_o he_o that_o he_o bruise_v his_o very_a bone_n and_o rend_v his_o reins_n asunder_o he_o can_v find_v no_o health_n in_o his_o flesh_n but_o be_v wound_v yea_o wound_v to_o the_o death_n even_o the_o most_o bitter_a death_n upon_o the_o cross_n his_o tender_a finger_n be_v nail_v to_o the_o cross_n his_o face_n
