if_o we_o be_v not_o obedient_a unto_o our_o god_n who_o have_v redeem_v we_o with_o a_o most_o precious_a ransom_n for_o this_o cause_n saint_n paul_n do_v admonish_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v

we_o not_o to_o have_v hear_v they_o otherwise_o after_o that_o god_n by_o word_n shall_v have_v open_v unto_o we_o his_o will_n he_o will_v punish_v we_o for_o our_o disobedience_n and_o albeit_o

enough_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v demand_v of_o they_o be_v reasonable_a as_o they_o well_o show_v when_o before_o their_o master_n they_o will_v appear_v good_a servant_n and_o in_o their_o absence_n do_v the_o worst_a they_o they_o can_v but_o if_o they_o be_v not_o beat_v of_o their_o master_n as_o be_v the_o poor_a slave_n yet_o shall_v they_o not_o escape_v the_o whip_n of_o god_n as_o daily_o be_v see_v 20_o see_v thou_o a_o man_n hasty_a in_o his_o matter_n there_o be_v more_o hope_n of_o a_o fool_n then_o of_o he_o as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o in_o diverse_a place_n that_o fool_n

of_o who_o we_o utter_o despair_v and_o therefore_o when_o solomon_n say_v that_o there_o be_v more_o hope_n of_o a_o fool_n then_o of_o he_o that_o be_v hasty_a in_o his_o matter_n or_o in_o his_o word_n let_v we_o not_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v hope_v for_o any_o thing_n of_o a_o fool_n but_o that_o the_o hasty_a man_n in_o his_o matter_n be_v not_o only_o a_o fool_n but_o worse_a than_o a_o fool_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o bring_v a_o fool_n to_o goodness_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n much_o more_o hard_a to_o be_v do_v with_o he_o that_o be_v hasty_a in_o his_o

that_o may_v profit_v he_o and_o bring_v no_o damage_n unto_o his_o neighbour_n he_o be_v not_o envious_a towards_o his_o neighbour_n for_o to_o hinder_v they_o from_o their_o profit_n but_o will_v rather_o help_v they_o and_o be_v glad_a of_o their_o prosperity_n a_o hasty_a man_n be_v without_o care_n he_o be_v fervent_o mind_v he_o be_v earnest_a about_o his_o matter_n without_o consider_v
