commandment_n he_o will_v deliver_v thou_o there_o be_v the_o promise_n and_o thou_o shall_v glorify_v he_o there_o be_v the_o condition_n to_o disobey_v the_o commandment_n be_v rebellion_n to_o distrust_v the_o promise_n be_v infidelity_n to_o refuse_v the_o condition_n be_v vile_a ingratitude_n wherefore_o let_v we_o seek_v and_o seek_v earnest_o with_o a_o fervent_a spirit_n and_o

from_o the_o father_n of_o light_n and_o as_o for_o many_o cause_n we_o be_v to_o seek_v to_o god_n and_o to_o god_n alone_o so_o especial_o for_o these_o four_o first_o because_o we_o have_v nothing_o of_o ourselves_o nor_o of_o any_o other_o creature_n but_o whatsoever_o we_o have_v we_o have_v it_o of_o god_n for_o what_o have_v thou_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v in_o he_o we_o

that_o the_o natural_a man_n understand_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n these_o thing_n be_v hide_v from_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a and_o be_v reveal_v to_o babe_n and_o suckling_n alas_o what_o

12._o who_o continual_o go_v about_o like_o a_o roar_a lion_n seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v here_o you_o may_v note_v first_o his_o malice_n for_o he_o dailye_o accuse_v we_o before_o the_o chief_a judge_n of_o the_o king_n bench_n when_o he_o can_v prevail_v in_o this_o court_n but_o see_v his_o bill_n of_o accusation_n repel_v then_o he_o remoove_v the_o matter_n to_o the_o court_n of_o our_o

against_o we_o out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n allege_v these_o strict_a place_n against_o we_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_v shall_v die_v the_o death_n curse_v be_v he_o that_o abide_v not_o in_o every_o point_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v it_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o bring_v in_o conscience_n to_o witness_v against_o we_o and_o then_o infer_v this_o hard_a conclusion_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o salvation_n then_o if_o he_o see_v that_o we_o appeal_v from_o justice_n to_o mercy_n and_o say_v at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n repent_v the_o judge_n put_v all_o his_o wickedness_n out_o of_o his_o remembrance_n he_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o crafty_a worldling_n deal_v in_o matter_n of_o law_n who_o when_o they_o see_v their_o matter_n pass_v against_o they_o in_o high_a court_n bring_v down_o their_o case_n into_o the_o country_n to_o be_v decide_v by_o the_o neighbour_n who_o either_o for_o their_o simplicity_n can_v or_o for_o their_o favour_n dare_v not_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o matter_n so_o our_o adversary_n though_o god_n himself_o do_v discharge_v we_o though_o our_o conscience_n testify_v our_o innocence_n yet_o he_o accuse_v in_o the_o three_o court_n before_o man_n where_o he_o be_v bold_a to_o pour_v out_o his_o whole_a venom_n and_o poison_n of_o his_o malice_n against_o we_o and_o to_o forge_v what_o lie_v and_o slander_n and_o libel_n he_o listen_v because_o he_o know_v they_o shall_v be_v receive_v as_o true_a thus_o he_o accuse_v christ_n jesus_n our_o bless_a lord_n and_o saviour_n before_o poncius_fw-la pilate_n and_o cause_v diverse_a false_a and_o untrue_a witness_n to_o come_v in_o against_o he_o but_o if_o he_o be_v malicious_a only_o to_o wish_v our_o destruction_n and_o not_o mighty_a to_o wreak_v his_o malice_n we_o shall_v have_v little_a cause_n to_o fear_v 12._o but_o he_o be_v mighty_a therefore_o he_o be_v term_v a_o lion_n the_o power_n of_o darkness_n the_o great_a

in_o yourselves_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o weakness_n and_o corruption_n it_o be_v god_n that_o give_v strength_n to_o the_o mighty_a wisdom_n to_o the_o prudent_a &_o knowledge_n

why_o we_o must_v seek_v christ_n alone_o be_v because_o there_o be_v none_o so_o willing_a to_o help_v we_o as_o he_o it_o be_v a_o great_a courage_n to_o we_o to_o make_v suit_n when_o we_o be_v
