be_v we_o desirous_a i_o say_v too_o taste_v what_o the_o heavenly_a life_n be_v first_o we_o must_v know_v too_o what_o end_n we_o be_v bear_v yea_o even_o according_a as_o we_o be_v sinner_n in_o

for_o that_o they_o can_v bethink_v they_o of_o god_n justice_n as_o they_o ought_v too_o do_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o come_v too_o that_o point_n howbeit_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v how_o

which_o god_n pronounce_v against_o we_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n i_o say_v when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o we_o must_v also_o beware_v that_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o swallow_v up_o

with_o we_o no_o death_n can_v be_v dreadful_a unto_o we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o david_n say_v that_o god_n sheephooj_n shall_v comfort_v he_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o in_o the_o darkness_n when_o as_o he_o speak_v of_o god_n sheephooj_v he_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o nothing_o so_o long_o as_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n towards_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v he_o show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n but_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o then_o let_v we_o first_o consider_v of_o what_o mind_n job_n speak_v here_o

according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o god_n turn_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_a see_v we_o know_v this_o we_o have_v too_o rejoice_v in_o that_o by_o

as_o concern_v the_o secret_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o man_n must_v learn_v to_o use_v modesty_n in_o they_o to_o be_v short_a our_o wisdom_n must_v be_v to_o harken_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o

according_a to_o his_o law_n and_o in_o good_a faith_n what_o pureness_n be_v there_o in_o our_o life_n if_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o not_o to_o be_v toss_v with_o any_o care_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o we_o be_v in_o god_n protection_n and_o we_o must_v be_v full_o resolve_v of_o it_o and_o then_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o may_v pass_v through_o fire_n and_o

at_o leastwise_o if_o we_o think_v he_o be_v against_o we_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v afraid_a and_o not_o know_v where_o to_o become_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n use_v the_o say_v menace_v against_o the_o transgresser_n of_o his_o law_n and_o so_o be_v eliphassis_n say_v very_o true_a that_o the_o wicked_a be_v always_o fearful_a according_a also_o as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n liken_v the_o thought_n of_o wicked_a folk_n too_o wave_n that_o beat_v one_o against_o another_o when_o any_o tempest_n be_v you_o see_v the_o water_n stir_v and_o the_o wave_n

all_o those_o that_o have_v not_o seek_v to_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o and_o how_o may_v we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n by_o walk_v in_o a_o good_a and_o pure_a conscience_n and_o special_o by_o know_v that_o we_o have_v none_o other_o foundation_n too_o stand_v upon_o save_v only_o his_o mercy_n in_o that_o we_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o that_o there_o with_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o assure_v ourselves_o to_o be_v happy_a both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n because_o it_o please_v he_o to_o be_v present_a with_o we_o and_o to_o receive_v we_o and_o gather_v we_o up_o to_o himself_o mark_v i_o say_v how_o the_o way_n for_o man_n too_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n be_v to_o assure_v themselves_o that_o their_o sin_n be_v forgive_v and_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o and_o therewithal_o to_o walk_v in_o his_o obedience_n so_o as_o they_o endeavour_n to_o have_v a_o good_a and_o pure_a conscience_n towards_o their_o neighbour_n and_o this_o peace_n be_v join_v with_o a_o joy_n which_o saint_n paul_n term_v the_o joy_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v when_o we_o be_v strengthen_v by_o faith_n saint_n paul_n say_v that_o this_o

with_o god_n fill_v they_o shall_v be_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o their_o profit_n and_o what_o manner_n of_o peace_n be_v it_o it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o they_o draw_v near_o unto_o god_n but_o rather_o they_o turn_v their_o tail_n upon_o he_o but_o the_o true_a peace_n which_o be_v happy_a and_o bliss_v of_o god_n be_v when_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o he_o and_o come_v to_o he_o and_o thereupon_o be_v in_o quiet_a assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o receive_v reckon_v and_o avow_v we_o to_o be_v his_o so_o as_o he_o will_v not_o give_v we_o up_o but_o guide_v we_o always_o both_o in_o

make_v they_o too_o know_v their_o own_o weakness_n that_o they_o may_v humble_v themselves_o and_o learn_v too_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o put_v themselves_o whole_o into_o his_o hand_n and_o trust_v altogether_o to_o his_o goodness_n moreover_o sometime_o he_o prick_v and_o spur_v we_o too_o come_v too_o he_o the_o more_o earnest_o and_o too_o beseech_v he_o to_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n and_o to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o and_o that_o whensoever_o we_o be_v toss_v after_o that_o sort_n we_o need_v no_o more_o but_o to_o unload_v our_o care_n into_o his_o lap_n and_o to_o rest_v ourselves_o there_o in_o all_o caces_fw-la and_o there_o to_o take_v all_o our_o contentation_n and_o comfort_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o faithful_a may_v well_o be_v strike_v with_o

and_o transitory_a prosperity_n for_o the_o heavenly_a life_n be_v not_o then_o so_o perfect_o discover_v as_o 〈…〉_o be_v nowadays_o by_o the_o gospel_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o yet_o manifest_v

why_o that_o when_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v purposely_o say_v that_o god_n bliss_v they_o in_o their_o offspring_n in_o their_o cattle_n in_o

of_o the_o ancient_a father_n we_o have_v afar_o better_a recompense_n which_o ought_v to_o comfort_v we_o for_o example_n let_v we_o take_v but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v say_v concern_v long_a

the_o sovereign_n good_a thing_n it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a and_o perfect_a happiness_n no_o it_o come_v far_o short_a of_o it_o but_o we_o must_v also_o add_v the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v that_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n know_v not_o yet_o so_o perfect_o as_o we_o do_v that_o god_n have_v prepare_v they_o a_o heritage_n in_o heaven_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v some_o

adays_o our_o life_n be_v short_a and_o that_o be_v because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o and_o have_v show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v but_o stranger_n in_o this_o world_n that_o we_o may_v run_v to_o the_o heritage_n which_o be_v purchase_v by_o his_o blood_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v then_o but_o in_o shadow_n be_v too_o be_v confirm_v by_o visible_a benefit_n but_o now_o we_o have_v the_o substance_n the_o shadow_n and_o figure_n be_v past_a we_o have_v the_o body_n of_o they_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v content_v with_o whatsoever_o god_n give_v we_o and_o refer_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o guide_n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v be_v content_v with_o the_o life_n that_o we_o have_v live_v whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o of_o job_n and_o abraham_n that_o they_o die_v old_a

for_o if_o they_o have_v live_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o year_n yet_o will_v they_o fain_o tarry_v here_o beneath_o still_o for_o they_o have_v none_o other_o hope_v but_o of_o this_o present_a life_n &_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o death_n dispatch_v all_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o be_v never_o ready_a to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n contrariwise_o the_o father_n of_o

not_o in_o ourselves_o but_o out_o of_o ourselves_o that_o we_o must_v seek_v comfort_n when_o we_o have_v sorrow_a at_o the_o sight_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o when_o we_o feel_v such_o trouble_n as_o we_o see_v nothing_o but_o hell_n open_a before_o we_o to_o swallow_v we_o up_o then_o must_v we_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n aloft_o too_o look_v upon_o the_o inestimable_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n whereby_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o call_v we_o to_o salvation_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o damn_a already_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o the_o first_o place_n now_o whereas_o job_n say_v that_o see_v it_o be_v so_o he_o will_v take_v leave_n to_o talk_v against_o himself_o or_o upon_o himself_o therein_o he_o declare_v that_o he_o mean_v to_o bewray_v the_o passion_n wherewith_o he_o be_v turmoil_v which_o of_o themselves_o be_v evil_a and_o damnable_a nevertheless_o job_n intend_v too_o lay_v they_o forth_o to_o the_o end_n man_n may_v know_v that_o he_o be_v oppress_v with_o heaviness_n yea_o even_o with_o such_o heaviness_n as_o he_o see_v no_o remedy_n but_o be_v fain_o to_o make_v his_o moan_n so_o be_v a_o frail_a man_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v yet_o a_o further_a foresight_n for_o he_o mean_v that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o prophet_n and_o teacher_n unto_o we_o to_o give_v we_o warning_n what_o our_o

nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o speech_n where_o job_n say_v that_o he_o will_v take_v liberty_n to_o make_v complaint_n against_o himself_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o know_v i_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o by_o stand_v in_o contention_n with_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o preface_n which_o he_o use_v import_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n for_o man_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o they_o shall_v discharge_v themselves_o well_o enough_o if_o they_o may_v fret_v and_o grudge_v against_o god_n and_o here_o you_o see_v wherein_o the_o wicked_a comfort_n themselves_o for_o behold_v it_o will_v seem_v too_o they_o that_o they_o be_v well_o ease_v of_o their_o burden_n when_o they_o have_v spew_v out_o some_o blasphemy_n and_o utter_v their_o impatience_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o boot_v they_o nothing_o at_o all_o they_o make_v their_o case_n much_o worse_a than_o it_o be_v if_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n that_o overlode_v we_o well_o if_o we_o can_v cast_v it_o too_o the_o ground_n we_o be_v unburden_v it_o be_v true_a but_o if_o i_o have_v a_o great_a burden_n upon_o my_o shoulder_n or_o betwixt_o my_o arm_n and_o i_o will_v cast_v it_o upon_o my_o head_n and_o make_v a_o great_a strive_n to_o do_v it_o that_o be_v the_o next_o way_n too_o break_v my_o neck_n and_o what_o have_v i_o gain_v by_o that_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o we_o when_o we_o will_v plead_v with_o god_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o will_v hoist_v up_o a_o burden_n upon_o our_o head_n and_o it_o must_v needs_o fall_v upon_o it_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o can_v do_v for_o which_o way_n soever_o we_o flee_v it_o shall_v light_v upon_o we_o we_o see_v then_o that_o man_n do_v nought_o but_o destroy_v themselves_o when_o they_o vomit_v and_o spew_v up_o their_o murmur_n and_o blasphemy_n after_o that_o fashion_n against_o god_n and_o thus_o you_o perceive_v why_o i_o say_v that_o this_o lesson_n be_v great_o for_o our_o profit_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v we_o use_v this_o homeliness_n of_o unburthen_v ourselves_o into_o his_o lap_n but_o the_o manner_n of_o proceed_v therein_o be_v very_o diverse_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o manner_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v consider_v that_o god_n will_v provide_v for_o all_o and_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v his_o office_n too_o govern_v the_o world_n he_o can_v well_o remedy_v all_o our_o need_n and_o will_v give_v we_o relief_n when_o we_o be_v overfore_o oppress_v lo_o how_o we_o may_v lay_v all_o our_o care_n and_o grief_n in_o god_n lap_n and_o he_o will_v take_v charge_n of_o they_o whereby_o we_o shall_v be_v ease_v of_o they_o yea_o if_o we_o come_v to_o he_o with_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n if_o we_o have_v any_o heaviness_n or_o grief_n that_o nip_v we_o let_v we_o say_v well_o lord_n it_o be_v in_o thou_o to_o succour_n thy_o

request_v god_n after_o that_o sort_n and_o he_o shall_v have_v yield_v we_o record_n that_o he_o have_v not_o be_v deaf_a to_o our_o desire_n but_o that_o we_o be_v sure_o he_o have_v hear_v they_o that_o be_v a_o good_a discharge_n for_o god_n come_v still_o before_o we_o and_o receive_v our_o burden_n which_o we_o deliver_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o for_o those_o that_o harden_v themselves_o in_o their_o pride_n and_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o it_o and_o carry_v away_o by_o impatiency_n what_o do_v they_o they_o bend_v themselves_o against_o god_n as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v shoot_v a_o arrow_n at_o heaven_n and_o the_o same_o must_v needs_o fall_v back_o upon_o their_o own_o head_n or_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v cast_v up_o a_o stone_n and_o the_o same_o shall_v light_v upon_o his_o own_o pate_n also_o therefore_o when_o we_o make_v our_o complaint_n let_v we_o be_v well_o advise_v that_o the_o same_o be_v do_v with_o all_o lowliness_n yea_o and_o that_o we_o rest_v whole_o upon_o god_n providence_n ground_v ourselves_o upon_o the_o goodness_n and_o fatherly_a love_n which_o he_o have_v show_v we_o and_o go_v unto_o he_o with_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n if_o we_o do_v so_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v unburden_v and_o god_n will_v provide_v for_o all_o but_o if_o we_o think_v to_o amend_v our_o case_n by_o
the_o very_a gate_n of_o life_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v pass_v the_o same_o away_o we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a that_o death_n shall_v have_v any_o power_n over_o we_o for_o it_o be_v a_o rebate_v or_o blunt_v sword_n whereof_o the_o point_n be_v break_v off_o so_o as_o it_o can_v hurt_v we_o and_o although_o it_o draw_v some_o blood_n of_o

but_o god_n agree_v they_o very_o well_o in_o such_o wise_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v conceive_v by_o our_o natural_a wit_n be_v put_v under_o foot_n because_o faith_n get_v the_o upper_a hand_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o that_o which_o job_n handle_v in_o this_o strain_n for_o you_o see_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v full_o resolve_v upon_o this_o point_n namely_o to_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o god_n and_o to_o hope_v for_o salvation_n at_o his_o hand_n how_o so_o ever_o he_o will_v go_v but_o this_o thing_n they_o can_v not_o do_v except_o they_o hold_v he_o for_o their_o father_n and_o resort_v to_o he_o for_o refuge_n as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v behold_v god_n have_v be_v my_o father_n to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o therewithal_o have_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o therefore_o must_v i_o call_v upon_o he_o put_v myself_o into_o his_o keep_n and_o not_o doubt_v but_o he_o will_v always_o be_v merciful_a unto_o i_o yea_o but_o he_o scourge_v i_o and_o when_o i_o be_o in_o mind_n to_o come_v near_o he_o i_o shall_v not_o perceive_v that_o he_o have_v hear_v i_o very_o this_o conceit_n be_v hard_a and_o cumbersome_a to_o bear_v but_o yet_o must_v i_o tarry_v the_o leisure_n of_o my_o god_n with_o patience_n and_o do_v he_o the_o honour_n to_o rest_v myself_o upon_o his_o promise_n lo_o how_o the_o faithful_a be_v full_o resolve_v in_o that_o point_n but_o on_o the_o otherside_n it_o behove_v they_o to_o know_v themselves_o and_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o they_o shall_v know_v their_o own_o infirmity_n but_o that_o they_o must_v also_o make_v their_o moan_n and_o say_v how_o now_o and_o these_o be_v thing_n contrary_a for_o if_o we_o ought_v to_o tarry_v god_n leisure_n with_o silence_n be_v it_o meet_v for_o we_o to_o make_v a_o dispute_v and_o to_o enter_v into_o complaint_n for_o so_o to_o do_v be_v contrary_n to_o faith_n true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v contrary_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n but_o god_n set_v they_o at_o one_o well_o enough_o for_o after_o we_o have_v be_v toss_v and_o turmoil_v with_o some_o heartburning_n behold_v faith_n draw_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a unto_o

he_o favourable_a although_o he_o show_v not_o himself_o so_o at_o the_o first_o brunt_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v in_o effect_n upon_o this_o strain_n now_o we_o see_v whereat_o job_n amed_z when_o he_o say_v although_o god_n kill_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o put_v my_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o i_o will_v reason_n with_o god_n and_o reprove_v my_o own_o way_n for_o the_o hebrew_n word_n that_o he_o use_v signify_v to_o reprove_v and_o also_o to_o debate_z or_o plead_v so_o then_o his_o say_n and_o protestation_n be_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o man_n who_o the_o party_n that_o have_v speak_v take_v he_o to_o be_v for_o they_o take_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o will_v have_v play_v double_a or_o quit_v that_o he_o will_v have_v trust_v no_o more_o in_o god_n and_o that_o he_o have_v speak_v those_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v in_o despite_n of_o god_n but_o he_o tell_v they_o he_o be_v none_o such_o for_o he_o hold_v he_o still_o to_o his_o trust_n in_o god_n now_o then_o see_v that_o he_o trust_v in_o god_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n submit_v himself_o to_o he_o for_o too_o trust_v in_o god_n be_v not_o too_o shrink_v away_o from_o he_o and_o to_o hold_v one_o self_n aloof_o but_o contrariwise_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n be_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o &_o when_o he_o seem_v far_o off_o from_o we_o even_o then_o to_o

and_o to_o return_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o may_v receive_v we_o into_o his_o lap_n as_o a_o child_n be_v receive_v of_o his_o own_o father_n you_o see_v then_o what_o be_v contain_v here_o for_o

unto_o he_o behold_v say_v saint_n paul_n the_o acceptable_a day_n &_o the_o day_n of_o salvation_n be_v while_o we_o be_v in_o our_o way_n then_o if_o god_n shall_v see_v man_n go_v astray_o &_o

to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o all_o creature_n be_v small_a in_o estimation_n of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o god_n which_o be_v utter_o infinite_a therefore_o we_o

which_o be_v speak_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n find_v lack_n in_o his_o angel_n although_o they_o be_v his_o servant_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o let_v but_o that_o the_o service_n which_o the_o angel_n do_v unto_o god_n be_v perfect_a according_a to_o the_o perfection_n that_o can_v be_v in_o creature_n likewise_o as_o in_o that_o respect_n when_o in_o pray_v we_o desire_v

forsake_v all_o worldly_a thing_n and_o final_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n of_o all_o for_o as_o long_o as_o man_n be_v at_o their_o ease_n although_o they_o dare_v not_o say_v that_o they_o can_v go_v beyond_o god_n yet_o by_o their_o do_n they_o show_v themselves_o so_o sot_v as_o they_o have_v no_o mind_n too_o call_v upon_o god_n nor_o to_o commend_v themselves_o unto_o he_o you_o see_v then_o why_o god_n suffer_v his_o servant_n to_o be_v afflict_v in_o such_o wise_a yea_o even_o as_o to_o be_v pinch_v with_o anguish_n of_o heart_n that_o they_o wot_v not_o where_o to_o become_v any_o more_o therefore_o let_v we_o bear_v this_o doctrine_n well_o in_o mind_n consider_v â—hat_n it_o be_v so_o much_o for_o our_o profit_n and_o furthermore_o above_o all_o let_v we_o advise_v ourselves_o too_o practice_v it_o at_o our_o need_n whensoever_o we_o shall_v be_v oppress_v by_o man_n and_o when_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o we_o must_v needs_o

not_o doubt_n but_o he_o will_v perform_v his_o promise_n for_o he_o have_v not_o forget_v his_o nature_n we_o shall_v certain_o find_v that_o he_o will_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o same_o which_o he_o be_v at_o the_o beginning_n and_o here_o we_o see_v also_o wherefore_o he_o abace_v such_o as_o be_v advance_v too_o some_o dignity_n or_o honour_n when_o some_o man_n behold_v such_o backtumbling_n he_o think_v it_o to_o be_v but_o the_o wheel_n of_o fortune_n the_o wicked_a sort_n grudge_n that_o god_n shall_v play_v so_o with_o man_n as_o with_o a_o ball_n but_o this_o happen_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o unthankfulness_n of_o such_o as_o be_v in_o high_a estate_n for_o they_o forget_v from_o whence_o their_o welfare_n come_v and_o thereupon_o they_o be_v so_o sot_v with_o their_o greatness_n that_o they_o wax_v stout_a against_o god_n and_o divers_a way_n fall_v too_o outrage_n and_o therefore_o god_n be_v fain_o too_o abate_v such_o manner_n of_o pride_n and_o so_o we_o see_v the_o cause_n that_o make_v god_n too_o pull_v down_o those_o who_o he_o have_v exalt_v afore_o namely_o i_o say_v because_o they_o can_v not_o keep_v themselves_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o modesty_n nor_o give_v the_o glory_n unto_o god_n nor_o know_v what_o they_o be_v of_o themselves_o and_o contrariwise_o the_o honour_n that_o god_n have_v do_v unto_o they_o but_o forget_v themselves_o and_o advance_v themselves_o without_o measure_n and_o therefore_o god_n be_v fain_o to_o show_v they_o how_o â—bey_n be_v nothing_o and_o that_o they_o do_v but_o beguile_v themselves_o by_o their_o pride_n and_o therefore_o let_v they_o that_o be_v advance_v too_o high_a estate_n beware_v that_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o in_o carefulness_n moreover_o such_o as_o be_v base_a and_o despise_v have_v enough_o wherewith_o too_o comfort_n themselves_o as_o i_o have_v say_v in_o that_o they_o have_v this_o promise_n that_o it_o belong_v too_o god_n too_o give_v

also_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o hell._n by_o reason_n whereof_o it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v that_o doubtless_o of_o nature_n we_o be_v curse_v caitiff_n we_o

wrap_v he_o have_v also_o all_o manner_n of_o filthiness_n gore_n blood_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o uncleanness_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v there_o we_o see_v then_o what_o our_o state_n be_v till_o god_n have_v make_v we_o clean_o and_o so_o see_v that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o already_o know_v in_o himself_o and_o in_o his_o own_o behalf_n how_o god_n have_v exalt_v we_o call_v we_o to_o

from_o our_o so_o stink_a filthiness_n have_v we_o not_o cause_v too_o hope_v for_o the_o like_a hereafter_o and_o therefore_o above_o all_o thing_n when_o we_o be_v in_o such_o distress_n as_o we_o

well_o that_o we_o may_v be_v patient_a in_o this_o world_n notwithstanding_o that_o our_o enemy_n assail_v we_o on_o all_o side_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n spare_v we_o sometime_o and_o that_o

and_o guide_v they_o after_o such_o sort_n in_o this_o world_n that_o when_o soever_o they_o must_v depart_v it_o shall_v be_v as_o if_o a_o man_n gather_v corn_n in_o harvest_n time_n and_o it_o be_v

that_o it_o be_v dead_a ripe_a â–ª_o the_o grain_n must_v needs_o shed_v and_o come_v to_o naught_o the_o bird_n will_v eat_v some_o of_o it_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o it_o must_v rot_v and_o be_v

the_o faithful_a too_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n in_o the_o world_n they_o shall_v come_v too_o full_a ripeness_n and_o he_o will_v gather_v they_o up_o too_o himself_o as_o man_n gather_v corn_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o do_v not_o thus_o always_o for_o we_o see_v sometime_o how_o god_n suffer_v his_o servant_n too_o fall_v into_o violent_a death_n and_o that_o he_o pluck_v they_o out_o of_o this_o world_n in_o the_o flower_n of_o their_o age_n yea_o and_o even_o in_o their_o infancy_n we_o see_v that_o cain_n come_v to_o great_a year_n of_o age_n and_o abel_n be_v reach_v away_o by_o the_o sword_n how_o be_v it_o mean_v then_o that_o god_n will_v preserve_v his_o faithful_a one_o even_o till_o they_o be_v full_a ripe_a as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v gather_v corn_n into_o a_o berne_n we_o must_v mark_v first_o of_o all_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v of_o these_o worldly_a blessing_n it_o intend_v that_o it_o fall_v out_o so_o common_o and_o not_o that_o it_o fall_v out_o so_o continual_o furthermore_o we_o must_v make_v comparison_n between_o the_o great_a benefit_n and_o the_o lesser_a when_o god_n suffer_v his_o child_n too_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o world_n betimes_o â–ª_o it_o be_v for_o their_o profit_n for_o god_n provide_v better_a for_o the_o faithful_a man_n when_o he_o call_v he_o to_o he_o at_o the_o age_n of_o twenty_o of_o thirty_o year_n than_o when_o he_o let_v he_o live_v till_o threescore_o and_o special_o when_o we_o see_v the_o world_n flow_v out_o into_o such_o corruption_n that_o all_o be_v confound_v now_o a_o day_n i_o pray_v you_o ought_v we_o not_o too_o esteem_v they_o more_o happy_a in_o that_o god_n have_v draw_v they_o away_o too_o himself_o than_o if_o they_o have_v long_o time_n too_o languish_v here_o it_o be_v a_o miracle_n if_o man_n can_v continue_v here_o and_o come_v all_o to_o old_a age_n for_o we_o see_v what_o snare_v satan_n lay_v for_o we_o and_o how_o it_o be_v right_a hard_a to_o walk_v through_o so_o many_o outrage_n therefore_o if_o god_n pull_v away_o his_o child_n quick_o let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o do_v it_o for_o their_o great_a benefit_n and_o special_o we_o have_v hereupon_o too_o understand_v that_o although_o they_o be_v bereave_v of_o this_o blessing_n which_o be_v small_a in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o god_n will_v give_v they_o yet_o do_v he_o not_o cease_v too_o love_n and_o favour_n they_o by_o suffer_v they_o too_o fall_v so_o into_o speedy_a death_n like_v as_o those_o that_o be_v persecute_v by_o tyrant_n have_v a_o most_o precious_a

the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n so_o then_o when_o we_o compare_v the_o less_o with_o the_o great_a we_o shall_v find_v that_o this_o promise_n of_o feel_v continual_o the_o say_a blessing_n of_o god_n in_o send_v they_o to_o their_o graâ—e_n as_o corn_n that_o be_v gather_v in_o his_o due_a time_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a towards_o the_o faithful_a for_o how_o soever_o the_o world_n go_v he_o rypen_v

none_o other_o talk_n but_o of_o our_o weariness_n in_o despize_v of_o our_o life_n you_o see_v then_o what_o job_n wish_v be_v it_o be_v not_o chief_o because_o he_o know_v what_o his_o state_n be_v but_o because_o the_o misery_n that_o he_o feel_v do_v nip_n he_o therefore_o he_o be_v desirous_a too_o have_v his_o request_n at_o god_n hand_n for_o he_o not_o only_o desire_v it_o in_o his_o

when_o he_o dare_v make_v such_o and_o so_o excessive_a a_o request_n now_o then_o for_o the_o first_o point_n whereas_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o man_n too_o wish_v that_o god_n will_v deliver_v

that_o there_o happen_v thing_n that_o be_v sour_a to_o we_o we_o must_v not_o wish_v death_n therefore_o but_o rather_o we_o must_v buckle_v ourselves_o to_o the_o combat_n sith_o that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v so_o three_o when_o we_o desire_v too_o be_v set_v free_a from_o this_o bondage_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o god_n shall_v break_v the_o bond_n that_o hold_v we_o as_o now_o let_v man_n

give_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o do_v what_o god_n command_v we_o must_v first_o have_v this_o consideration_n to_o say_v well_o lord_n if_o it_o be_v thy_o will_n that_o i_o be_v a_o poor_a sinner_n and_o have_v vice_n continual_o lurk_v in_o i_o shall_v serve_v thou_o grant_v i_o the_o grace_n too_o acknowledge_v my_o fault_n that_o i_o may_v sigh_v before_o thou_o to_o crave_v pardon_n for_o

will_v pray_v unto_o god_n as_o become_v we_o that_o be_v we_o must_v not_o be_v rash_a to_o threape_v this_o or_o that_o at_o his_o hand_n but_o we_o must_v consider_v well_o what_o be_v lawful_a

we_o ought_v too_o put_v ourselves_o in_o good_a readiness_n to_o battle_n sith_o that_o god_n afflict_v we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o feel_v any_o thing_n save_o that_o we_o endure_v to_o the_o world_n ward_n but_o the_o chief_a be_v sith_o we_o know_v we_o must_v come_v to_o a_o reckon_v before_o god_n for_o if_o he_o make_v we_o feel_v our_o sin_n by_o show_v himself_o a_o rigorous_a

such_o virtue_n and_o excellency_n be_v notwithstanding_o so_o press_v and_o wherefore_o for_o by_o his_o example_n god_n mean_v to_o show_v how_o it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n to_o come_v before_o his_o majesty_n and_o before_o his_o judgement_n seat_n to_o answer_v for_o our_o whole_a life_n then_o let_v we_o apply_v our_o self_n to_o receive_v the_o warning_n which_o god_n give_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o have_v very_o rough_a assault_n and_o let_v we_o leseech_v god_n to_o hold_v we_o up_o that_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v offer_v we_o

it_o be_v that_o we_o may_v well_o hope_v that_o god_n will_v relieve_v we_o but_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o appoint_v he_o either_o time_n or_o place_n that_o must_v be_v put_v over_o whole_o to_o his_o good_a will._n then_o must_v we_o not_o seek_v our_o rest_n neither_o in_o our_o bed_n nor_o in_o any_o other_o thing_n but_o let_v we_o cast_v up_o our_o sigh_n unto_o god_n that_o it_o

of_o this_o and_o that_o do_v but_o set_v they_o more_o on_o fire_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o overshoot_v ourselves_o after_o such_o sort_n in_o our_o passion_n it_o be_v because_o every_o

then_o when_o a_o man_n shrink_v into_o himself_o and_o strive_v too_o keep_v himself_o from_o pass_v his_o bound_n in_o word_n for_o fear_n of_o resist_a god_n and_o repress_v his_o affection_n be_v that_o a_o occasion_n to_o set_v he_o on_o fire_n yea_o sure_o sometime_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o two_o and_o thirty_o psalm_n &_o in_o such_o other_o text_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v not_o as_o much_o to_o say_v on_o the_o contrary_a part_n that_o we_o shall_v therefore_o be_v lavish_a of_o our_o word_n and_o complaint_n to_o every_o body_n to_o find_v

as_o for_o example_n look_v upon_o a_o poor_a man_n who_o god_n scourge_v and_o why_o the_o man_n oftentimes_o know_v not_o why_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o end_n god_n will_v turn_v

thou_o or_o else_o let_v he_o say_v look_n well_n upon_o thyself_o poor_a creature_n needs_o must_v thou_o have_v offend_v god_n grievous_o see_v he_o execute_v such_o rigour_n upon_o thou_o but_o

much_o the_o more_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n and_o to_o advise_v ourselves_o well_o that_o we_o plead_v not_o against_o god_n when_o he_o afflict_v we_o for_o sear_v lest_o

in_o a_o thousand_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o other_o whereat_o we_o ought_v to_o learn_v somewhat_o more_o but_o if_o we_o be_v so_o dull_a as_o that_o neither_o heaven_n nor_o

notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o god_n with_o entreatance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v every_o of_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v himself_o a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o assure_v

it_o by_o make_v payment_n of_o themselves_o or_o be_v it_o by_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v righteous_a when_o he_o make_v inquisition_n no_o but_o by_o make_v entreatance_n according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v already_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v how_o it_o
a_o thing_n well_o worth_a the_o note_n for_o we_o take_v ourselves_o for_o stout_a man_n of_o war_n and_o too_o have_v be_v try_v too_o the_o uttermost_a when_o we_o have_v endure_v some_o sickness_n

therefore_o when_o our_o sin_n come_v after_o that_o sort_n before_o we_o and_o the_o devil_n make_v we_o to_o feel_v god_n wrath_n and_o again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n our_o own_o conscience_n

a_o poor_a sinner_n be_v so_o scare_v with_o god_n judgement_n he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o too_o hide_v himself_o and_o too_o find_v some_o secret_a nook_n that_o god_n may_v see_v he_o no_o more_o and_o that_o he_o may_v not_o make_v he_o feel_v his_o hand_n any_o more_o and_o so_o the_o great_a benefit_n that_o poor_a sinner_n can_v have_v when_o they_o feel_v themselves_o so_o torment_v with_o god_n judgement_n be_v to_o press_v near_o to_o he_o to_o crave_v help_n and_o succour_v at_o his_o hand_n and_o their_o utter_a undo_n be_v to_o shrink_v away_o from_o he_o we_o see_v then_o what_o man_n be_v when_o god_n show_v himself_o angry_a with_o they_o for_o they_o have_v none_o other_o shift_n than_o to_o heap_v wickedness_n upon_o wickedness_n and_o to_o enter_v into_o hell_n for_o it_o be_v a_o veâ—ie_a hell_n when_o we_o be_v shrink_v away_o after_o that_o sort_n from_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o god_n hold_v they_o at_o that_o point_n behold_v how_o all_o poor_a sinner_n wish_v that_o he_o will_v make_v they_o perceive_v how_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o he_o but_o his_o wrath_n and_o curse_n but_o hereby_o we_o must_v be_v provoke_v to_o pray_v

allure_v we_o to_o he_o for_o his_o goodness_n surmount_v the_o rigour_n of_o his_o justice_n which_o be_v due_a to_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n and_o thereby_o let_v we_o be_v comfort_v until_o he_o have_v withdraw_v his_o hand_n from_o we_o then_o let_v we_o not_o shrink_v back_o when_o he_o absent_v himself_o from_o we_o but_o rather_o let_v we_o say_v lord_n withdraw_v thine_o anger_n for_o if_o thou_o show_v we_o thine_o angry_a countenance_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o be_v drown_v already_o in_o hell_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v and_o

&_o constancy_n be_v in_o such_o temptation_n and_o here_o you_o see_v how_o we_o may_v say_v with_o saint_n paul_n neither_o thing_n present_a nor_o thing_n too_o come_v nor_o life_n nor_o death_n nor_o any_o thing_n else_o be_v able_a too_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v nothing_o can_v disappoynte_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o always_o feel_v his_o

tell_v you_o we_o know_v not_o in_o what_o time_n this_o book_n be_v write_v but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o see_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v to_o they_o for_o you_o see_v here_o a_o doctrine_n which_o be_v conformable_a to_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n where_o our_o lord_n promise_v to_o bliss_n those_o that_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o

such_o as_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v bliss_v and_o he_o will_v make_v they_o to_o prosper_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o god_n visit_v not_o his_o servant_n in_o such_o wise_a

they_o be_v but_o that_o to_o their_o seem_n god_n have_v utter_o forsake_v they_o then_o must_v we_o be_v fain_o to_o walk_v in_o this_o world_n through_o many_o affliction_n notwithstanding_o that_o

notwithstanding_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o with_o such_o zeal_n as_o it_o ought_v neither_o do_v we_o serve_v he_o with_o such_o affection_n as_o we_o be_v bind_v too_o do_v therefore_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o suffer_v punishment_n and_o correction_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o yet_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n make_v we_o to_o consider_v our_o own_o want_n that_o we_o may_v humble_v

for_o there_o need_v none_o other_o proof_n to_o show_v that_o all_o man_n be_v curse_v and_o damn_a then_o that_o god_n say_v that_o whosoever_o perform_v not_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v

or_o because_o he_o have_v live_v naughty_o no_o god_n have_v no_o such_o respect_n with_o he_o what_o then_o he_o intend_v that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o mirror_n to_o all_o man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o behold_v he_o we_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o know_v that_o god_n hand_n be_v too_o heavy_a for_o we_o to_o bear_v &_o also_o consider_v our_o own_o frailty_n

for_o man_n to_o beat_v our_o ear_n with_o preach_v and_o to_o say_v behold_v thus_o must_v you_o do_v behold_v thus_o do_v god_n command_v you_o until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o have_v learn_v that_o

that_o we_o may_v repair_v unto_o god_n and_o say_v where_o be_v our_o welfare_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o we_o must_v seek_v it_o there_o for_o

and_o have_v not_o any_o more_o reason_n in_o they_o for_o sometime_o man_n shall_v sin_v through_o simplicity_n and_o yet_o stand_v in_o some_o fear_n of_o god_n howbeit_o they_o shall_v be_v dull_v

there_o shall_v some_o fear_n of_o god_n lie_v hide_v in_o they_o which_o be_v as_o good_a as_o choke_v well_o then_o such_o manner_n of_o folk_n have_v more_o simplicity_n than_o craftiness_n and_o

that_o those_o who_o god_n have_v leave_v at_o that_o point_n shall_v ever_o return_v to_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o hold_v ourselves_o strait_o

it_o be_v that_o job_n use_v these_o word_n to_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v a_o overhygh_a power_n in_o god_n and_o that_o no_o mortal_a man_n dare_v encounter_v it_o except_o god_n will_v

the_o grace_n of_o god_n if_o it_o please_v our_o lord_n we_o shall_v be_v feed_v though_o there_o want_v bread_n drink_n &_o meat_n according_a as_o he_o say_v he_o will_v feed_v those_o that_o be_v

let_v we_o mark_v here_o that_o this_o word_n the_o firstborn_a of_o death_n carry_v in_o it_o a_o great_a force_n when_o a_o man_n be_v hold_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o rack_n and_o that_o god_n

job_n declare_v that_o he_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n deal_v so_o rough_o with_o he_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o his_o prosperity_n he_o have_v not_o be_v cruel_a but_o pitiful_a towards_o the_o poor_a and_o such_o as_o be_v in_o heaviness_n and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o be_v drunken_a in_o his_o pleasure_n but_o have_v always_o consider_v what_o the_o misery_n of_o man_n life_n be_v so_o that_o he_o weep_v with_o they_o that_o do_v weep_v and_o keep_v company_n with_o such_o as_o be_v torment_v with_o adversity_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o job_n allege_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o afflict_v and_o sure_o when_o god_n beat_v we_o with_o his_o rod_n common_o it_o be_v because_o he_o see_v that_o we_o can_v bear_v our_o own_o ease_n and_o that_o our_o flesh_n grow_v overlusty_a or_o else_o we_o be_v cruel_a towards_o our_o neighbour_n lo_o here_o the_o two_o cause_n why_o god_n do_v ordinary_o afflict_v we_o and_o we_o see_v also_o that_o in_o the_o scripture_n he_o threaten_v those_o that_o do_v so_o pass_v their_o bound_n in_o their_o prosperity_n woe_n be_v to_o you_o say_v it_o that_o laugh_v for_o you_o shall_v

with_o his_o horn_n as_o a_o wild_a beast_n even_o so_o fare_v the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n when_o god_n handle_v they_o gentle_o that_o be_v too_o say_v they_o abuse_v his_o goodness_n and_o fling_v out_o at_o rover_n &_o give_v the_o bridle_n to_o their_o lust_n for_o have_v a_o man_n meat_n and_o drink_v even_o his_o fill_n thereupon_o ensue_v whoredom_n and_o shameful_a wantonness_n yea_o and_o blasphemy_n and_o violence_n and_o moreover_o fond_a jest_n and_o play_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n &_o to_o be_v short_a a_o man_n can_v hold_v himself_o in_o good_a modesty_n so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v at_o his_o ease_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n afflict_v man_n be_v for_o that_o he_o see_v it_o be_v for_o their_o behoof_n to_o be_v so_o correct_v furthermore_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o other_o inconvenience_n for_o they_o that_o have_v the_o world_n at_o will_n pass_v not_o for_o poor_a man_n that_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o despise_v they_o and_o set_v their_o foot_n in_o their_o neck_n we_o see_v that_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v say_v in_o reproach_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomor_n behold_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o bread_n and_o therewithal_o pleasure_n and_o cruelty_n so_o as_o they_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o succour_v such_o as_o be_v in_o need_n forsomuch_o then_o as_o they_o that_o be_v at_o their_o ease_n will_v not_o intermeddle_v themselves_o with_o the_o trouble_n and_o incumberance_n of_o their_o neighbour_n but_o hold_v themselves_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o earthly_a paradyse_n and_o exempt_v themselves_o from_o the_o feel_n of_o all_o their_o grief_n and_o adversity_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o handle_v they_o rough_o when_o their_o turn_n come_v about_o and_o forsomuch_o as_o they_o have_v have_v no_o pity_n nor_o compassion_n of_o the_o misery_n that_o they_o have_v see_v in_o their_o brethren_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o make_v they_o feel_v by_o force_n anon_o after_o that_o they_o be_v but_o man_n they_o will_v discharge_v themselves_o of_o all_o worldly_a misery_n and_o god_n show_v they_o perforce_o that_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n know_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o as_o they_o be_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v be_v that_o god_n ordinary_a afflict_v of_o man_n be_v either_o because_o they_o have_v be_v cruel_a in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o prosperity_n or_o because_o they_o have_v make_v themselves_o drunken_a in_o their_o lawless_a pleasure_n but_o he_o erewithall_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n may_v just_o keep_v we_o occupy_v with_o adversity_n though_o the_o foresay_a cause_n be_v not_o and_o that_o he_o have_v secret_a determination_n whereof_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o reason_n like_v as_o it_o happen_v unto_o job._n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n complain_v for_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o that_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v afflict_v he_o after_o that_o manner_n see_v he_o have_v behave_v himself_o so_o advise_o but_o rather_o he_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v spare_v he_o see_v he_o have_v be_v so_o fellowlike_o and_o friendly_o a_o man_n and_o be_v sad_a and_o sorry_a with_o such_o as_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o what_o for_o that_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o we_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o bear_v away_o the_o
but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o evil_a like_n so_o he_o consent_v not_o thorough_o to_o it_o the_o papist_n say_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o and_o that_o be_v a_o horrible_a blasphemy_n it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n &_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o mind_n &_o strength_n god_n have_v not_o limit_v the_o love_n that_o we_o owe_v unto_o he_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v only_o in_o our_o heart_n &_o mind_n but_o he_o say_v that_o our_o wit_n reason_n and_o understanding_n &_o all_o our_o strength_n that_o be_v to_o say_v all_o the_o ability_n &_o power_n that_o be_v in_o our_o nature_n must_v also_o be_v thorough_o apply_v thereunto_o now_o than_o if_o a_o man_n conceyve_fw-mi any_o evil_a although_o he_o consent_v not_o to_o it_o nor_o yield_v his_o affection_n full_o thereunto_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v he_o love_n god_n with_o all_o his_o mind_n no_o if_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o little_a a_o

undoubted_o for_o sin_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o transgress_a of_o god_n law_n therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o all_o the_o vain_a thought_n which_o provoke_v we_o unto_o evil_n be_v sin_n and_o that_o we_o be_v guilty_n of_o they_o too_o godward_o unless_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n but_o he_o forgive_v they_o to_o those_o that_o be_v he_o nevertheless_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o for_o sin_n and_o whosoever_o do_v flatter_v himself_o do_v but_o provoke_v god_n wrath_n and_o cover_v the_o mischief_n too_o his_o own_o

that_o we_o withstand_v it_o it_o be_v already_o a_o fault_n &_o oversight_n in_o we_o if_o we_o do_v but_o conceive_v such_o evil_a like_n it_o already_o bewrayerh_n the_o corruptness_n of_o our_o

that_o god_n have_v no_o care_n of_o he_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o endure_v any_o adversity_n and_o behold_v it_o be_v a_o blasphemy_n yea_o and_o a_o curse_a blasphemy_n if_o we_o consent_v unto_o it_o and_o that_o our_o mind_n do_v rest_n never_o so_o little_a upon_o it_o notwithstanding_o that_o our_o will_n do_v not_o full_o purpose_v it_o now_o than_o we_o see_v that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v

be_v a_o transgress_v of_o his_o law_n as_o i_o have_v show_v you_o already_o also_o it_o can_v but_o proceed_v from_o a_o evil_a fountain_n for_o the_o eye_n of_o itself_o shall_v not_o be_v

mark_v first_o of_o all_o that_o it_o have_v always_o be_v god_n will_v that_o the_o love_a of_o their_o enemy_n shall_v be_v the_o mark_n of_o his_o child_n and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o let_v we_o

commandment_n against_o the_o which_o we_o can_v strive_v without_o offend_a god_n deadly_a now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o god_n will_v bind_v the_o faithful_a to_o love_v their_o enemy_n even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n much_o more_o reason_n be_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o say_a rule_n now_o for_o we_o have_v a_o more_o large_a declaration_n of_o it_o by_o the_o holy_a

have_v jesus_n christ_n bring_v it_o again_o to_o his_o pureness_n &_o tell_v we_o that_o if_o we_o love_v not_o those_o which_o hate_v we_o and_o endeavour_n not_o to_o help_v those_o that_o will_v

good_a will_n to_o our_o enemy_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o frame_v ourselves_o to_o that_o doctrine_n and_o therein_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o shameless_a boldness_n of_o the_o papist_n have_v be_v to_o villeynous_a yea_o and_o to_o devilish_a in_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n word_n be_v but_o a_o simple_a admonition_n see_v it_o be_v match_v with_o such_o a_o sentence_n of_o damnation_n that_o god_n will_v renounce_v we_o and_o banish_v we_o out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n if_o we_o overmaster_v not_o our_o heart_n so_o far_o as_o too_o love_v those_o that_o hate_v we_o moreover_o we_o have_v also_o a_o mirror_n hereof_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o offer_v himself_o for_o such_o as_o be_v his_o deadly_a enemy_n wherefore_o endure_v he_o so_o bitter_a death_n but_o too_o reconcile_v we_o now_o if_o there_o behoove_v a_o reconciliation_n too_o be_v make_v then_o be_v there_o a_o hatred_n and_o god_n and_o we_o be_v at_o odds_n behold_v then_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o subdue_v all_o the_o hatred_n which_o we_o have_v conceive_v against_o our_o enemy_n thus_o than_o the_o order_n which_o we_o have_v to_o note_v be_v that_o those_o which_o live_v under_o the_o law_n offend_v god_n when_o they_o intend_v to_o revenge_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o which_o have_v such_o a_o declaration_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o bear_v our_o enemy_n no_o evil_a will_n but_o we_o must_v also_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o seek_v their_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n and_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o diverse_a have_v thonght_n they_o shall_v be_v discharge_v before_o god_n so_o they_o run_v not_o with_o naked_a sword_n against_o those_o that_o have_v offend_v they_o or_o do_v they_o any_o wrong_n as_o for_o i_o say_v they_o i_o will_v seek_v no_o revenge_n but_o i_o pray_v god_n avenge_v i_o of_o they_o &_o it_o will_v do_v i_o good_a at_o the_o heart_n if_o i_o may_v see_v a_o mischief_n light_n upon_o they_o yea_o nay_o here_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o practise_v of_o this_o doctrine_n when_o jesus_n christ_n declare_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o they_o that_o curse_v we_o speak_v well_o of_o they_o that_o backbite_v we_o and_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o seek_v to_o hurt_v we_o but_o contrariwise_o we_o be_v so_o full_a of_o poison_n that_o we_o desire_v nothing_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v overwhelm_v they_o and_o on_o what_o side_n soever_o any_o mishap_n befall_v they_o we_o be_v glad_a of_o it_o can_v this_o be_v do_v without_o the_o overthrow_n of_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v other_o also_o to_o

displease_v they_o or_o with_o who_o the_o be_v offend_v but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o abstain_v from_o all_o revenge_a with_o our_o hand_n &_o our_o tongue_n neither_o be_v it_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o put_v away_o evil_a will_n so_o as_o we_o will_v not_o wish_v any_o harm_n or_o adversity_n to_o such_o as_o be_v our_o enemy_n but_o it_o behoove_v we_o too_o go_v one_o degree_n further_o and_o how_o be_v that_o it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v love_v they_o for_o if_o job_n have_v not_o love_v his_o enemy_n sure_o he_o will_v have_v rejoice_v at_o

to_o bear_v they_o such_o a_o affection_n of_o friendship_n as_o we_o may_v be_v sorry_a when_o any_o evil_n happen_v unto_o they_o and_o also_o have_v pity_n and_o compassion_n of_o they_o and_o if_o this_o seem_v to_o hard_o for_o we_o to_o do_v be_v not_o job_n a_o man_n subject_n to_o affection_n as_o we_o be_v and_o yet_o do_v god_n get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o they_o then_o behoove_v it_o we_o to_o fight_v that_o can_v be_v do_v without_o great_a enforcement_n it_o be_v true_a but_o we_o must_v force_v ourselves_o howbeit_o not_o upon_o trust_n of_o our_o own_o strength_n but_o with_o

against_o i_o and_o although_o i_o love_v uprightness_n and_o good_a deal_n yet_o shall_v i_o not_o fail_v to_o be_v inflame_v with_o harteburning_a and_o to_o have_v some_o desire_n of_o revenge_n against_o such_o as_o have_v go_v about_o to_o do_v i_o harm_v yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o see_v here_o that_o jesus_n christ_n condemn_v i_o and_o pronounce_v this_o dreadful_a sentence_n that_o

that_o god_n command_v i_o such_o a_o thing_n but_o i_o be_o a_o man_n i_o feel_v my_o own_o infirmity_n yea_o and_o i_o be_o disease_v behold_v the_o physician_n offer_v himseife_a and_o come_v

much_o a_o do_v to_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v nevertheless_o if_o we_o go_v too_o it_o after_o this_o sort_n god_n will_v turn_v the_o bitterness_n of_o our_o nature_n into_o love_a kindness_n and_o

then_o if_o a_o man_n have_v any_o sudden_a choler_n although_o the_o same_o settle_v not_o in_o his_o heart_n yet_o you_o see_v he_o have_v already_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n before_o god_n how_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o if_o we_o foster_v deadly_a hatred_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o be_v full_a of_o venomous_a rancour_n to_o be_v revenge_v of_o they_o that_o have_v do_v we_o any_o wrong_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o correct_v this_o vice_n in_o we_o and_o understand_v that_o if_o any_o evil_a word_n have_v escape_v our_o mouth_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o

jesus_n christ_n redeem_v man_n soul_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o death_n come_v not_o to_o the_o whole_a world_n nevertheless_o for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o in_o we_o too_o discern_v between_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o sinner_n that_n go_v to_o destruction_n but_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v to_o our_o knowledge_n suffer_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n as_o well_o for_o they_o as_o for_o we_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o labour_v to_o bring_v every_o man_n too_o salvation_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v available_a to_o they_o and_o furthermore_o if_o this_o be_v to_o heavy_a for_o we_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o comparison_n there_o be_v between_o god_n and_o we_o for_o who_o be_v he_o that_o offend_v not_o god_n daily_a and_o yet_o nevertheless_o assoon_o as_o we_o return_v unto_o he_o he_o give_v we_o liberty_n too_o come_v familiar_o thither_o without_o doubt_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v

gather_v of_o this_o sentence_n where_o we_o hear_v job_n protest_v that_o he_o not_o only_o forbear_v all_o revenge_n but_o also_o be_v sorry_a when_o any_o evil_n happen_v to_o his_o enemy_n and_o his_o heart_n rejoice_v not_o when_o he_o hear_v speak_v of_o it_o nevertheless_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v rejoice_v at_o the_o confuzion_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o be_v true_a howbeit_o to_o the_o intent_n to_o have_v such_o a_o gladness_n as_o god_n allow_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v scour_v &_o cleanse_v from_o all_o privy_a malice_n &_o all_o regard_n of_o our_o own_o person_n when_o god_n child_n rejoice_v at_o the_o adversity_n of_o the_o wicked_a it_o must_v be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v just_a and_o righteous_a and_o yet_o therewithal_o they_o must_v also_o take_v warning_n to_o walk_v in_o fear_n
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 into_o the_o grave_n be_v that_o god_n afflict_v we_o but_o therewithal_o eliu_n show_v we_o how_o harsh_a this_o medicine_n be_v in_o that_o he_o say_v that_o it_o consume_v our_o flesh_n so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o more_o the_o shape_n of_o man_n but_o be_v like_a unto_o dead_a man_n that_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o our_o bone_n do_v clatter_n without_o and_o we_o can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o take_v breathe_v but_o be_v in_o continual_a torment_fw-mi so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o release_n but_o god_n persecute_v we_o with_o such_o extremity_n as_o we_o can_v no_o more_o thus_o he_o show_v that_o god_n can_v not_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n win_v that_o thing_n at_o man_n hand_n which_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o they_o shall_v know_v

out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n lo_o to_o what_o state_n our_o pride_n bring_v we_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o flicker_v after_o that_o sort_n in_o the_o air_n and_o think_v we_o have_v any_o strength_n of_o ourselves_o and_o build_v thereupon_o after_o our_o own_o fancy_n i_o say_v so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v possess_v with_o such_o foolish_a presumption_n we_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o stumble_v and_o to_o perish_v but_o god_n have_v pity_n on_o we_o send_v such_o remedy_n as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v convenient_a which_o

unthankfulness_n not_o to_o suffer_v god_n to_o remedy_v our_o destruction_n &_o to_o draw_v we_o from_o it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o here_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mean_v to_o make_v

seem_v strange_a too_o fleshe_o reason_n for_o our_o fleshe_o reason_n will_v say_v can_v god_n provide_v no_o better_o mean_v for_o our_o welfare_n than_o by_o torment_v we_o after_o that_o sort_n behove_v it_o he_o to_o send_v we_o to_o death_n that_o he_o may_v call_v we_o unto_o life_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o incredible_a manner_n of_o proceed_v if_o a_o man_n debate_v it_o according_a too_o

know_v that_o all_o disease_n be_v the_o messenger_n of_o death_n and_o that_o all_o the_o sorrow_n which_o we_o conceive_v be_v drown_n of_o we_o but_o our_o lord_n send_v we_o sorrow_n sickness_n

not_o plead_v against_o he_o for_o we_o shall_v always_o have_v the_o worse_a end_n of_o the_o staff_n and_o out_o of_o doubt_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o

the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n who_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o wrath_n and_o undoubted_o although_o god_n wrath_n be_v a_o fire_n that_o consume_v

to_o mark_v well_o the_o counsel_n that_o be_v give_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n like_v as_o in_o this_o text_n it_o be_v say_v than_z god_n break_v man_n bone_n that_o be_v to_o say_v use_v so_o

and_o a_o man_n be_v so_o continual_o torment_v as_o he_o be_v like_o a_o dead_a man_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o all_o this_o be_v set_v afore_o we_o but_o it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n to_o waken_v we_o and_o that_o when_o god_n utter_v his_o judgement_n against_o we_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v our_o sin_n we_o shall_v the_o better_o be_v think_v we_o that_o those_o torment_n be_v more_o terrible_a than_o can_v be_v express_v according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v many_o comparison_n in_o that_o behalf_n why_o do_v it_o liken_v god_n to_o a_o lion_n that_o break_v and_o broze_v thing_n with_o his_o tooth_n and_o pluck_v they_o in_o piece_n with_o his_o paw_n it_o be_v not_o to_o attribute_v such_o a_o cruelty_n unto_o god_n as_o be_v not_o convenient_a for_o he_o but_o
i_o not_o serve_v god_n as_o i_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o though_o i_o have_v commit_v some_o fault_n be_v there_o not_o some_o mean_n to_o recompense_v it_o withal_o yes_o and_o i_o have_v do_v this_o and_o that_o behold_v i_o say_v how_o man_n will_v ever_o put_v some_o bar_n in_o god_n way_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v have_v no_o vantage_n of_o they_o thus_o seek_v they_o their_o righteousness_n in_o their_o own_o merit_n but_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o give_v we_o a_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o may_v stand_v before_o he_o he_o use_v a_o contrary_a kind_n of_o speech_n which_o be_v that_o he_o admit_v we_o and_o accept_v we_o for_o righteous_a by_o cover_v our_o sin_n where_o on_o then_o shall_v our_o righteousness_n rest_n on_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o our_o god_n because_o that_o when_o he_o have_v once_o scour_v away_o our_o spot_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n and_o discharge_v we_o from_o death_n and_o damnation_n by_o the_o ransom_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n pay_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o wipe_v out_o our_o sin_n and_o lay_v not_o our_o offence_n to_o our_o charge_n thus_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o by_o god_n messenger_n be_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v or_o accept_v for_o righteous_a and_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v continual_o the_o word_n justify_v it_o may_v well_o say_v that_o we_o find_v favour_n or_o grace_n when_o god_n pardon_v we_o according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v often_o say_v so_o but_o the_o holieghoste_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o use_v such_o word_n and_o why_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v sinner_n god_n must_v needs_o hate_v we_o we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o righteousness_n and_o there_o be_v no_o agreeument_n between_o he_o and_o unrighteousness_n therefore_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v sinner_n we_o be_v loath_o in_o god_n sight_n and_o he_o must_v needs_o reject_v we_o and_o to_o be_v short_a we_o have_v no_o entrance_n unto_o god_n till_o we_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a now_o then_o how_o become_v we_o righteous_a it_o be_v because_o god_n regard_v not_o our_o sin_n but_o bury_v they_o and_o hide_v they_o and_o cleanse_v we_o from_o they_o so_o then_o our_o sin_n be_v wipe_v out_o in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o so_o much_o that_o we_o be_v take_v for_o righteous_a and_o god_n find_v no_o more_o fault_n with_o we_o when_o he_o accept_v we_o after_o that_o sort_n for_o his_o son_n sake_n this_o be_v the_o ryghtuhusnesse_n

yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o appear_v not_o so_o but_o by_o the_o end_n now_o the_o end_n be_v show_v we_o here_o which_o be_v that_o god_n reach_v we_o his_o hand_n assure_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a too_o we_o how_o so_o ever_o the_o world_n go_v notwithstanding_o that_o he_o have_v handle_v we_o rough_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o life_n of_o our_o soul_n consist_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o give_v we_o assurance_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v esteem_v this_o benefit_n as_o it_o deserve_v it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o warrant_a of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v as_o a_o odd_a man_n among_o a_o thousand_o so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v at_o adventure_n but_o be_v a_o treasure_n which_o god_n reserve_v to_o those_o who_o he_o think_v good_a beside_o this_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o god_n in_o promise_a man_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n give_v charge_n and_o commission_n too_o the_o minister_n of_o his_o word_n to_o draw_v they_o from_o death_n according_a as_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v commit_v to_o those_o which_o preach_v the_o gospel_n too_o what_o end_n to_o forgive_v sin_n not_o of_o their_o own_o authority_n but_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n may_v be_v the_o better_o assure_v of_o their_o salvation_n and_o not_o doubt_v but_o god_n receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n therefore_o the_o minister_n tell_v they_o in_o his_o name_n that_o they_o be_v quit_v before_o his_o judgement_n seat_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n of_o a_o man_n when_o he_o send_v he_o a_o good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n and_o give_v his_o appoint_a minister_n the_o say_a charge_n and_o office_n of_o rescue_v and_o deliver_v the_o wretched_a creature_n that_o be_v in_o way_n of_o damnation_n how_o be_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v the_o better_a understand_v here_o be_v three_o point_n to_o be_v mark_v the_o one_o be_v that_o eliu_n show_v we_o the_o cause_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o perish_v that_o be_v one_o point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o office_n of_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o draw_v wretched_a soul_n out_o of_o death_n and_o to_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n and_o the_o three_o be_v that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o do_v but_o by_o express_a commission_n give_v of_o god_n according_a also_o as_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o a_o mortal_a man_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o so_o high_a a_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o our_o ability_n then_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n we_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bring_v we_o here_o to_o the_o wellspring_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o we_o obtain_v of_o god_n when_o he_o forgive_v we_o oursinne_n why_o be_v it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v able_a too_o be_v beforehand_o with_o he_o not_o for_o that_o we_o bring_v any_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o procure_v his_o favour_n towards_o we_o but_o because_o he_o look_v upon_o we_o with_o mercy_n to_o be_v short_a the_o holy_a ghost_n father_v the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n upon_o the_o only_a free_a goodness_n of_o god_n for_o we_o be_v so_o wretched_a as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o damnation_n in_o we_o behold_v it_o please_v god_n to_o succour_v we_o and_o he_o do_v it_o not_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o find_v in_o we_o save_v only_o infinite_a misery_n but_o of_o his_o own_o goodness_n which_o move_v he_o thereunto_o this_o then_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o obtain_v forgiveness_n at_o god_n hand_n we_o may_v not_o imagine_v to_o appease_v he_o with_o our_o own_o merit_n nor_o to_o be_v particauser_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o look_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n of_o we_o he_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o so_o eliu_n mean_v to_o advertise_v we_o that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v that_o goodness_n but_o that_o although_o he_o love_v we_o and_o be_v mind_v to_o provide_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o yet_o do_v he_o not_o always_o give_v we_o that_o feel_n but_o hide_v it_o utter_o from_o we_o as_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o turn_v his_o back_n to_o we_o or_o else_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v not_o too_o look_v upon_o we_o or_o else_o that_o his_o countenance_n be_v lour_a towards_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v it_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v now_o and_o then_o be_v dismay_v and_o seek_v god_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o find_v he_o not_o that_o he_o have_v forget_v they_o or_o reject_v they_o but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o as_o then_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o love_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o eliu_n say_v express_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o when_o he_o send_v we_o witness_v of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o word_n not_o that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o before_o but_o because_o we_o be_v then_o sure_a of_o it_o by_o experience_n and_o do_v as_o it_o be_v take_v possession_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o be_v unknown_a unto_o we_o for_o a_o time_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o office_n of_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o forgive_v sin_n and_o it_o be_v a_o notable_a point_n for_o without_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o forlese_v and_o past_a recovery_n there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a to_o give_v we_o hope_v of_o salvation_n than_o by_o assure_v we_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v afore_o god_n and_o we_o quite_o and_o clean_o discharge_v for_o as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o be_v the_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o so_o long_o as_o our_o sin_n be_v impute_v unto_o we_o god_n must_v needs_o hate_v we_o and_o what_o else_o be_v the_o be_v of_o god_n wrath_n upon_o we_o but_o a_o bottomless_a gulf_n of_o all_o cursedness_n again_o when_o we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o the_o gate_n of_o paradise_n be_v open_v unto_o we_o he_o acknowledge_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o the_o heritage_n of_o heaven_n be_v already_o prepare_v for_o we_o and_o how_o may_v that_o be_v obtain_v by_o have_v good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n too_o preach_v the_o gospel_n unto_o we_o for_o the_o end_n whereat_o god_n am_z be_v atonement_n or_o reconciliation_n with_o we_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v where_o he_o express_v that_o the_o property_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v a_o message_n of_o atonement_n between_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n who_o know_v no_o sin_n but_o be_v the_o unspotted_a lamb_n do_v put_v himself_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o that_o be_v too_o say_v after_o we_o be_v wash_v in_o his_o blood_n and_o have_v put_v ourselves_o under_o the_o
have_v be_v come_v too_o the_o very_a point_n to_o have_v be_v swallow_v up_o into_o the_o dungeon_n of_o hell_n and_o afterward_o when_o we_o have_v be_v bring_v too_o that_o afterdeele_n too_o embrace_v god_n promise_n and_o too_o have_v such_o a_o lyvely_a feel_n of_o they_o as_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o full_a trust_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o can_v be_v do_v perfect_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o go_v towards_o it_o yet_o must_v we_o creep_v near_o and_o near_a too_o it_o and_o we_o must_v strain_v ourselves_o too_o come_v at_o it_o very_o well_o have_v we_o make_v such_o proffer_n then_o be_v it_o time_n too_o open_a our_o mouth_n and_o too_o praise_n god_n goodness_n that_o other_o man_n may_v be_v draw_v too_o he_o by_o our_o example_n and_o that_o all_o man_n may_v know_v how_o there_o be_v none_o other_o hope_n of_o salvation_n than_o in_o his_o only_a infinite_a goodness_n when_o it_o please_v he_o to_o make_v the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o his_o son_n available_a to_o take_v away_o our_o sin_n so_o as_o we_o may_v be_v wash_v clean_o from_o all_o spot_v and_o uncleanness_n and_o be_v accept_v for_o righteous_a before_o he_o and_o this_o matter_n concern_v not_o the_o shrift_n of_o the_o papist_n but_o the_o confession_n of_o a_o christian_a which_o ought_v to_o be_v put_v in_o ure_n among_o we_o and_o be_v not_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o heretofore_o that_o one_o of_o the_o curse_a blasphemy_n in_o the_o popedom_n be_v too_o tie_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o shrift_n that_o be_v make_v in_o a_o man_n ear_n for_o god_n never_o require_v it_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o ever_o any_o man_n shall_v know_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o their_o fault_n i_o meene_z even_o of_o their_o gross_a fault_n and_o how_o shall_v they_o do_v then_o if_o they_o go_v about_o too_o number_v the_o offence_n which_o they_o have_v do_v unwitting_o therefore_o the_o shrift_n that_o be_v among_o the_o papist_n be_v as_o a_o gulf_n of_o hell_n but_o there_o be_v a_o christian_a confession_n which_o be_v allow_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v general_o confess_v our_o sin_n and_o when_o any_o of_o we_o have_v give_v any_o cause_n of_o stumble_v he_o shall_v acknowledge_v his_o fault_n too_o amend_v the_o evil_n that_o say_v i_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o do_v when_o god_n shall_v have_v afflict_v we_o and_o afterward_o remedy_v our_o adversity_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v go_v blow_n in_o a_o man_n ear_n too_o tell_v all_o our_o offence_n there_o nor_o also_o that_o we_o shall_v mount_v up_o upon_o a_o scaffold_n too_o tell_v particular_o the_o fault_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o after_o what_o manner_n we_o do_v they_o no_o we_o need_v no_o more_o but_o too_o confess_v our_o default_n in_o general_a and_o therewithal_o too_o consider_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v bind_v we_o to_o he_o exceed_o in_o that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o happy_a and_o wish_a end_n of_o our_o touble_n which_o will_v have_v overwhelm_v we_o if_o he_o have_v not_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n and_o set_v we_o up_o again_o also_o when_o we_o have_v offend_v our_o neighbour_n by_o give_v evil_a example_n we_o must_v acknowledge_v our_o fault_n and_o not_o be_v ashamed_a too_o confess_v they_o with_o soriness_n in_o our_o heart_n i_o say_v that_o this_o latter_a confession_n be_v ill_o practise_v among_o we_o for_o we_o see_v the_o pride_n that_o be_v in_o most_o man_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o dare_v not_o say_v that_o they_o be_v righteous_a howbeit_o when_o they_o confess_v themselves_o sinner_n it_o be_v but_o a_o cloak_n of_o hypocrisy_n they_o say_v that_o all_o man_n be_v so_o and_o so_o whereas_o every_o man_n ought_v too_o feel_v his_o own_o misdo_n we_o fall_v too_o cover_v of_o they_o with_o the_o mantle_n of_o other_o man_n and_o that_o be_v a_o plain_n mock_v of_o god_n so_o then_o if_o we_o intend_v too_o confess_v unfeigned_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o he_o let_v we_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n and_o the_o misery_n wherein_o we_o have_v be_v plundged_a and_o the_o deadliness_n whereout_o of_o god_n have_v make_v we_o way_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n also_o there_o be_v othersome_a who_o when_o they_o have_v commit_v any_o offence_n do_v fall_v too_o blaspheme_v of_o god_n when_o a_o whole_a street_n be_v infect_v with_o whoredom_n if_o a_o man_n reprove_v they_o for_o it_o they_o will_v ask_v he_o whither_o they_o bring_v he_o back_o too_o popishness_n or_o no_o because_o they_o be_v tell_v of_o their_o fault_n as_o who_o will_v say_v that_o god_n will_v

let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n discover_v our_o sin_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o if_o we_o have_v cause_v any_o trouble_n or_o offence_n we_o shall_v labour_v too_o amend_v it_o and_o not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o open_v our_o mouth_n to_o confess_v what_o we_o have_v do_v and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v show_v we_o now_o namely_o that_o when_o the_o sinner_n will_v seek_v unto_o god_n for_o pardon_n and_o afterward_o come_v familiar_o to_o he_o to_o take_v he_o for_o his_o father_n trust_v in_o his_o mercy_n he_o must_v also_o turn_v himself_o unto_o man_n he_o must_v

unto_o his_o neighbour_n and_o whereas_o erst_o he_o go_v about_o too_o deceive_v god_n and_o will_v have_v rock_v his_o own_o conscience_n asleep_a he_o shall_v conceive_v such_o a_o grief_n and_o

such_o as_o be_v in_o despair_n shall_v recover_v hope_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mean_v in_o effect_n to_o declare_v in_o this_o text_n that_o

show_v we_o in_o forgive_a we_o our_o sin_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o make_v this_o confession_n with_o the_o mouth_n to_o our_o salvation_n according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o ten_o

according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o they_o be_v inseparable_a now_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v i_o have_v sin_v i_o have_v turn_v away_o from_o goodness_n and_o it_o have_v not_o profit_v i_o the_o holy_a ghost_n show_v we_o that_o our_o confession_n must_v be_v pure_a and_o free-hearted_a and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o speak_v by_o half_n as_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v which_o say_v oh_o it_o be_v

they_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o there_o be_v no_o superfluity_n in_o this_o text_n where_o eliu_n after_o he_o have_v show_v that_o the_o sinner_n which_o be_v quit_v at_o god_n hand_n will_v

and_o what_o be_v the_o first_o lesson_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n but_o only_o this_o namely_o that_o we_o may_v be_v enlighten_v to_o know_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n &_o to_o

what_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o when_o man_n have_v do_v amiss_o and_o that_o not_o light_o but_o grievous_o so_o as_o one_o become_v a_o drunkard_n another_o a_o whoremaster_n a_o three_o a_o

so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o many_o man_n must_v be_v too_o bereave_v they_o of_o all_o excuse_n
show_v by_o open_a sign_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o cursedness_n in_o he_o till_o god_n receive_v he_o and_o gather_v he_o home_o too_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o matter_n may_v be_v lay_v forth_o more_o at_o length_n nevertheless_o it_o will_v suffice_v we_o in_o effect_n that_o the_o ash_n and_o dust_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o be_v not_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o repentance_n but_o only_o a_o outward_a token_n of_o it_o furthermore_o this_o token_n be_v not_o always_o requisite_a but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o make_v open_a protestation_n of_o a_o outrageous_a

without_o many_o misdo_n we_o commit_v infinite_a fault_n without_o our_o knowledge_n yea_o and_o even_o think_v that_o we_o do_v well_o so_o as_o if_o we_o examine_v ourselves_o thorough_o we_o

open_a protestation_n before_o man_n then_o may_v repentance_n well_o be_v without_o the_o outward_a sign_n join_v with_o it_o but_o when_o our_o fault_n be_v gross_a and_o god_n wrath_n show_v itself_o towards_o we_o they_o must_v we_o not_o only_o be_v sorry_a and_o mislike_v of_o ourselves_o but_o also_o in_o consideration_n that_o the_o same_o may_v edify_v our_o neighbour_n we_o must_v add_v some_o outward_a sign_n as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v give_v some_o stumble_a block_n &_o see_v that_o god_n name_n be_v blaspheme_v by_o it_o and_o god_n discover_v his_o shame_n he_o must_v not_o

must_v be_v not_o only_o in_o every_o particular_a person_n but_o also_o in_o the_o whole_a people_n according_a as_o we_o see_v it_o have_v always_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n moreover_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v the_o outward_a token_n but_o our_o heart_n must_v special_o be_v wound_v that_o be_v thorough_o grieve_v for_o provoke_a god_n wrath_n against_o we_o we_o may_v conceive_v a_o soriness_n and_o condemn_v ourselves_o and_o be_v utter_o dismay_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o be_v the_o sorrow_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n speak_v which_o he_o say_v that_o we_o must_v not_o shun_v because_o it_o be_v to_o our_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v also_o in_o the_o prophet_n joel_n rend_v your_o

to_o return_v with_o sackcloth_n dust_n and_o ash_n and_o to_o confess_v themselves_o to_o be_v offender_n and_o to_o crave_v forgiveness_n and_o too_o declare_v with_o solemn_a protestation_n that_o they_o have_v deserve_v death_n but_o if_o he_o have_v pity_n of_o they_o howbeit_o forasmuchas_o man_n be_v so_o sore_o incline_v to_o hypocrisy_n and_o will_v needs_o content_a god_n with_o fair_a

of_o they_o must_v be_v put_v away_o so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o effect_n which_o job_n mean_v to_o say_v be_v that_o in_o repent_v he_o of_o his_o unaduize_v speech_n he_o add_v that_o his_o so_o do_v be_v not_o light_v nor_o small_a sin_n but_o so_o heinous_a that_o he_o be_v ready_o too_o show_v himself_o as_o a_o wretched_a offender_n that_o have_v commit_v a_o crime_n worthy_a of_o death_n and_o have_v none_o other_o hope_n nor_o refuge_n but_o only_o to_o the_o mere_a mercy_n of_o god_n yea_o and_o even_o to_o make_v the_o same_o protestation_n willing_o before_o man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o such_o as_o have_v be_v offend_v by_o he_o may_v be_v set_v up_o again_o and_o all_o man_n know_v that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o humble_v himself_o under_o god_n hand_n now_o see_v

say_v unto_o he_o my_o wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o thou_o and_o thy_o companion_n for_o you_o have_v not_o speak_v right_o before_o i_o as_o my_o servant_n job_n have_v do_v we_o have_v see_v

job_n turn_v his_o talk_n to_o those_o that_o have_v wrongful_o condemn_v he_o hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o although_o god_n chastise_v his_o own_o with_o fatherly_a gentleness_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o execute_v his_o justice_n thorough_o upon_o they_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o punishment_n or_o chastizement_n begin_v at_o his_o own_o house_n or_o church_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n rebuke_v job_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v the_o other_o alone_o which_o have_v offend_v more_o gross_o than_o he_o a_o man_n may_v demand_v here_o yea_o be_v

bear_v withal_o than_o the_o fault_n of_o his_o companion_n and_o yet_o god_n seem_v to_o utter_v all_o his_o rigour_n against_o he_o alone_o lo_o what_o a_o man_n may_v say_v howbeit_o he_o be_v rebuke_v first_o because_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o prophet_n must_v be_v sulfil_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n begin_v to_o chastise_v his_o own_o

their_o fault_n not_o that_o they_o be_v not_o thorough_o record_v or_o shall_v not_o come_v to_o account_v but_o for_o that_o he_o suffer_v the_o sin_n of_o those_o who_o he_o love_v not_o to_o

he_o without_o admit_v any_o excuse_n they_o speak_v lusty_o against_o he_o as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v but_o some_o silly_a worm_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o some_o vile_a thing_n than_o a_o worm_n

very_a deed_n the_o true_a fruit_n that_o show_v the_o root_n to_o be_v good_a which_o otherwise_o shall_v lie_v hide_v in_o the_o heart_n be_v that_o we_o endeavour_n too_o obey_v god_n ordinance_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o act_n man_n and_o brethren_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v when_o saint_n peter_n have_v as_o it_o be_v thunder_v against_o those_o

it_o be_v one_o piece_n of_o our_o overween_a to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v imagine_v in_o our_o own_o brain_n and_o when_o we_o will_v needs_o be_v overwise_a we_o can_v obey_v god_n

there_o be_v nothing_o else_o for_o we_o to_o do_v but_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o without_o any_o gainsay_n now_o it_o be_v add_v immediate_o that_o god_n receive_v the_o face_n of_o job_n and_o

that_o we_o acknowledge_v how_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o to_o carry_v word_n for_o we_o and_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o be_v hear_v
he_o shall_v utter_o quail_v say_v what_o boot_v it_o a_o man_n to_o serve_v god_n see_v that_o such_o as_o have_v walk_v in_o his_o fear_n be_v most_o unfortunate_a but_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o end_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o comfort_v ourselves_o namely_o first_o of_o all_o as_o i_o have_v say_v because_o the_o affliction_n of_o god_n child_n

to_o glorify_v god_n not_o only_a when_o he_o deliver_v they_o but_o also_o because_o he_o mortify_v all_o their_o wicked_a lust_n and_o also_o therein_o they_o have_v a_o better_a confirmation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n in_o that_o whereas_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o lively_a image_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a child_n of_o god_n they_o be_v make_v conformable_a too_o he_o as_o saint_n

in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o true_o if_o we_o look_v but_o only_o upon_o the_o cross_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v curse_v by_o god_n own_o mouth_n we_o shall_v see_v nothing_o there_o but_o shame_n and_o terror_n and_o to_o be_v short_a it_o will_v seem_v that_o the_o very_a gulf_n of_o hell_n be_v open_a to_o swallow_v up_o jesus_n christ_n but_o when_o we_o join_v his_o resurrection_n to_o his_o death_n behold_v wherewith_o to_o comfort_v we_o behold_v wherewith_o to_o assuage_v all_o our_o sorrow_n to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o oversorowfull_a whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o afflict_v we_o and_o this_o be_v purposely_o fulfil_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v know_v that_o this_o be_v not_o write_v for_o

paul_n speakecth_v of_o it_o in_o another_o place_n we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o this_o be_v rehearse_v to_o we_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v utter_o dismay_v when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n afflict_v we_o nor_o conceive_v any_o such_o sorrow_n as_o shall_v shut_v up_o our_o heart_n and_o hold_v we_o prisoner_n so_o as_o we_o may_v receive_v no_o comfort_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v always_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o end_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o his_o child_n according_a as_o he_o have_v show_v by_o effect_n as_o well_o in_o job_n as_o also_o in_o david_n

one_o be_v that_o if_o our_o lord_n make_v we_o to_o prosper_v so_o as_o we_o have_v peace_n and_o rest_n and_o all_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o and_o we_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o grief_n

thing_n i_o say_v which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o forget_v ourselves_o when_o god_n spare_v we_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o prosperity_n continue_v not_o still_o with_o we_o it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o abuse_v it_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o second_o if_o god_n send_v we_o affliction_n let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o well_o and_o examine_v whither_o we_o have_v not_o be_v sleepy_a in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o prosperity_n for_o hereby_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o know_v our_o fault_n and_o to_o condemn_v they_o before_o god_n say_v lord_n thou_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o punish_v we_o and_o why_o for_o since_o the_o time_n that_o thou_o do_v prosper_v we_o by_o thy_o favour_n we_o have_v forget_v thou_o

that_o our_o lord_n shall_v handle_v we_o rough_o again_o that_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o acknowledge_v our_o fault_n by_o our_o lord_n sharpness_n and_o rigour_n towards_o we_o mark_v that_o for_o

as_o s._n paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v always_o to_o dispose_v ourselves_o to_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o correction_n which_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o send_v we_o yea_o even_o though_o we_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o do_v it_o if_o we_o have_v be_v watchful_a in_o the_o time_n of_o prosperity_n and_o not_o abuse_v our_o ease_n yet_o will_v not_o god_n miss_v to_o handle_v we_o rough_o now_o and_o then_o if_o we_o ask_v why_o he_o do_v it_o the_o reason_n will_v not_o be_v manifest_a at_o the_o first_o but_o he_o do_v it_o to_o humble_v we_o and_o so_o let_v we_o always_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o i_o say_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n these_o two_o reason_n distinct_o first_o that_o we_o remember_v the_o threaten_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n against_o such_o as_o be_v unmerciful_a to_o their_o neighbour_n and_o play_v the_o beast_n in_o their_o prosperity_n and_o second_o that_o we_o consider_v that_o although_o man_n behave_v themselves_o mild_o sober_o and_o friendly_o yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o afflict_v they_o after_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n as_o we_o see_v have_v happen_v unto_o job._n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o in_o stead_n of_o that_o he_o say_v here_o i_o have_v wait_v for_o light_n and_o behold_v here_o be_v darkness_n i_o have_v hope_v for_o good_a and_o behold_v here_o be_v evil_a let_v we_o look_v for_o good_a according_a as_o god_n promise_v it_o for_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n have_v promise_n not_o only_o of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n but_o also_o of_o the_o present_a and_o transitory_a life_n so_o then_o let_v we_o always_o look_v for_o welfare_n at_o god_n hand_n but_o yet_o let_v we_o not_o look_v for_o it_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v adversity_n whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o send_v it_o we_o for_o whereas_o god_n promise_v we_o to_o handle_v we_o gentle_o &_o to_o use_v fatherly_a and_o love_a kindness_n towards_o we_o it_o be_v but_o conditional_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v expedient_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o why_o for_o his_o temporal_a benefit_n be_v such_o as_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o deal_v they_o forth_o and_o to_o distribute_v they_o by_o measure_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o i_o have_v allege_v already_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o impossibility_n or_o at_o leastwise_o a_o very_a hard_a matter_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o either_o abuse_n and_o corrupt_v god_n gift_n or_o bestow_v they_o clean_o contrary_a to_o his_o meaning_n so_o then_o we_o may_v well_o hope_v that_o when_o god_n have_v do_v we_o good_a he_o will_v continue_v the_o same_o yea_o and_o also_o increase_v it_o still_o but_o we_o must_v not_o also_o look_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o therewithal_o dispose_v ourselves_o whole_o too_o receive_v adversity_n whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o send_v it_o why_o so_o we_o must_v not_o make_v reckon_v that_o we_o have_v a_o everlasting_a state_n in_o our_o life_n without_o any_o change_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o as_o our_o life_n be_v frail_a so_o also_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o change_n and_o that_o if_o we_o have_v prosperity_n to_o day_n god_n may_v disappoint_v we_o of_o it_o to_o morrow_n and_o although_o we_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o yet_o he_o know_v it_o and_o let_v we_o be_v content_v with_o it_o you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o look_v for_o the_o temporal_a benefit_n of_o this_o world_n that_o be_v that_o when_o they_o enjoy_v they_o they_o must_v believe_v full_o that_o god_n will_v continue_v his_o deal_n towards_o they_o as_o he_o have_v do_v thitherto_o howbeit_o in_o look_v for_o prosperity_n it_o behoove_v they_o to_o prepare_v themselves_o to_o receive_v adversity_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o may_v not_o be_v take_v unwares_o nor_o think_v it_o strange_a if_o he_o bereeve_v they_o of_o his_o benefit_n when_o he_o have_v handle_v they_o as_o gentle_o as_o may_v be_v for_o a_o time_n i_o say_v they_o must_v not_o think_v it_o any_o novelty_n if_o god_n turn_v his_o hand_n the_o contrary_a way_n and_o smite_v they_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o our_o look_v for_o prosperity_n must_v be_v with_o continual_a dispose_n of_o ourselves_o too_o suffer_v adversity_n yea_o and_o to_o suffer_v it_o patient_o to_o the_o end_n we_o miscarry_v not_o when_o it_o come_v upon_o we_o and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o in_o conclusion_n mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v here_o concern_v job._n he_o complain_v that_o he_o be_v a_o

as_o he_o may_v rather_o have_v be_v compare_v with_o a_o angel_n than_o with_o a_o mortal_a creature_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o he_o be_v handle_v hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v to_o put_v ourselves_o whole_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o not_o cease_v to_o trust_v in_o he_o though_o he_o scourge_v we_o rough_o and_o seem_v mind_v to_o overwhelm_v we_o utter_o but_o to_o put_v that_o thing_n in_o ure_n which_o we_o have_v see_v here_o before_o namely_o that_o though_o he_o shall_v kill_v we_o yet_o we_o will_v hope_v still_o for_o his_o mercy_n and_o fight_v against_o the_o battle_n of_o death_n and_o ground_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o promise_n hold_v our_o own_o still_o and_o continue_v steadfast_a in_o the_o midst_n
of_o all_o our_o adversity_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n and_o furthermore_o if_o god_n scourge_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n we_o must_v be_v the_o less_o plunge_v in_o sorrow_n by_o reason_n of_o those_o affliction_n and_o take_v they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o meek_o and_o with_o a_o quiet_a mind_n consider_v how_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v handle_v so_o sharp_o in_o respect_n of_o
