be_v god_n the_o second_o argument_n of_o god_n praise_n be_v from_o his_o worthiness_n and_o excellency_n of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v a_o god_n eternal_a and_o immutable_a one_o that_o ever_o have_v be_v and_o ever_o shall_v be_v the_o same_o in_o who_o there_o be_v no_o alteration_n nor_o shadow_n 17._o of_o change_n he_o be_v god_n before_o the_o mountain_n be_v bring_v forth_o yea_o

he_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o this_o praise_n of_o god_n do_v fit_a that_o present_a argument_n which_o the_o prophet_n have_v in_o hand_n and_o tend_v to_o moderate_v and_o keep_v in_o compass_n immoderate_a sorrow_n that_o may_v arise_v either_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o mortality_n or_o the_o mortality_n of_o any_o other_o for_o that_o notwithstanding_o the_o change_n and_o alteration_n that_o we_o see_v in_o the_o world_n that_o may_v discourage_v we_o and_o breed_v distrust_n and_o diffidence_n in_o we_o yet_o if_o we_o be_v the_o true_a child_n of_o god_n we_o have_v have_v a_o true_a feel_n and_o sense_n of_o his_o love_n and_o special_a providence_n over_o us._n and_o if_o we_o have_v once_o feel_v it_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n but_o to_o hope_v for_o the_o continuance_n thereof_o for_o as_o he_o be_v a_o eternal_a god_n so_o his_o love_n be_v a_o eternal_a love_n it_o be_v before_o all_o world_n and_o shall_v be_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o be_v therefore_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n upon_o thou_o do_v thou_o see_v and_o feel_v thyself_o to_o be_v mortal_a do_v thou_o see_v those_o thou_o depende_v upon_o to_o be_v such_o what_o do_v thou_o think_v therefore_o that_o god_n that_o do_v love_v thou_o and_o that_o in_o his_o love_n raise_v up_o these_o and_o these_o mean_n for_o thou_o be_v mortal_a also_o and_o mutable_a no_o though_o he_o change_v and_o alter_v the_o mean_n and_o thereby_o will_v have_v thou_o to_o fear_n and_o tremble_v before_o he_o yet_o do_v not_o thou_o for_o all_o that_o despair_n be_v thou_o still_o the_o child_n of_o god_n let_v no_o change_n either_o threaten_v or_o effect_v change_v thy_o mind_n and_o affection_n to_o god_n and_o though_o god_n shall_v for_o a_o time_n humble_v thou_o and_o seem_v for_o a_o time_n to_o thrust_v thou_o from_o thy_o house_n and_o all_o comfort_n of_o thy_o life_n to_o make_v thou_o to_o know_v thyself_o yet_o his_o affection_n be_v the_o same_o to_o thou_o that_o ever_o it_o be_v it_o can_v no_o more_o change_n than_o he_o do_v change_v and_o therefore_o as_o god_n out_o of_o his_o eternal_a love_n have_v heretofore_o be_v good_a unto_o thou_o so_o be_v thou_o assure_v that_o out_o of_o the_o same_o love_n he_o will_v continue_v so_o to_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o change_n and_o alteration_n whatsoever_o the_o particular_a description_n of_o god_n

and_o though_o we_o have_v never_o such_o certain_a dwell_a place_n in_o this_o world_n though_o our_o house_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o firm_a rock_n and_o high_a mountain_n yet_o we_o shall_v not_o

and_o that_o mortality_n which_o be_v from_o god_n he_o set_v forth_o 1._o by_o diverse_a comparison_n 2._o by_o the_o cause_n that_o move_v god_n to_o make_v man_n see_v such_o mortality_n in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o prophet_n conceive_v of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o potter_n that_o have_v of_o dust_n temper_v a_o mass_n and_o frame_v it_o into_o a_o vessel_n and_o dry_v it_o do_v present_o

the_o word_n here_o translate_v destruction_n signify_v a_o beat_v or_o grind_v or_o pound_v of_o a_o thing_n to_o powder_n and_o the_o prophet_n seem_v to_o allude_v to_o the_o three_o of_o genesis_n where_o god_n speak_v of_o adam_n dust_n thou_o be_v and_o to_o dust_n thou_o shall_v return_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v 19_o say_v o_o lord_n thou_o that_o have_v make_v and_o frame_v man_n of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n thou_o beat_v he_o to_o dust_n again_o and_o as_o thou_o make_v he_o by_o thy_o word_n alone_o so_o with_o thy_o word_n thou_o sudden_o turn_v and_o beat_v he_o again_o to_o dust_n as_o a_o man_n that_o make_v a_o thing_n and_o present_o mar_v it_o again_o hence_o we_o learn_v 1._o that_o as_o it_o be_v god_n by_o who_o we_o live_v so_o it_o be_v he_o by_o who_o and_o who_o mean_v we_o die_v by_o what_o mean_v soever_o man_n come_v to_o their_o end_n whether_o by_o a_o timely_a or_o untimely_a death_n god_n have_v the_o main_a stroke_n the_o sword_n that_o take_v

let_v we_o not_o so_o much_o regard_v the_o threat_n and_o brag_n of_o man_n but_o let_v we_o that_o fear_n death_n fear_v the_o lord_n that_o give_v life_n for_o he_o only_o quicken_v he_o only_o

&_o help_v and_o prayer_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v save_v the_o life_n and_o this_o he_o can_v do_v sudden_o in_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v as_o we_o love_v our_o life_n fear_v he_o and_o take_v heed_n how_o we_o offend_v and_o displease_v he_o that_o can_v with_o a_o word_n turn_v the_o strong_a man_n into_o dust_n 3._o the_o style_n that_o god_n give_v to_o man_n when_o he_o call_v he_o out_o of_o this_o world_n be_v the_o child_n of_o adam_n and_o of_o dust_n as_o if_o he_o say_v thou_o be_v but_o the_o child_n of_o dust_n of_o dust_n thou_o be_v make_v thou_o be_v spring_v from_o they_o that_o be_v but_o dust_n and_o which_o be_v all_o turn_v unto_o dust_n go_v thou_o also_o to_o dust_n so_o that_o we_o shall_v think_v serious_o of_o the_o matter_n that_o we_o be_v make_v of_o and_o be_v humble_v with_o the_o consideration_n thereof_o and_o herein_o justify_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o deal_n for_o why_o may_v not_o he_o that_o have_v make_v we_o of_o dust_n

they_o let_v we_o therefore_o learn_v to_o set_v our_o heart_n upon_o another_o life_n and_o the_o thing_n thereof_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v be_v sure_a never_o to_o loose_v that_o we_o love_v and_o
