no_o further_a knowledge_n but_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o god_n justice_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o rest_v there_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o job_n speak_v of_o

after_o we_o have_v once_o be_v bring_v to_o dust_n we_o shall_v be_v raze_v up_o again_o job_n perceive_v not_o this_o and_o why_o because_o it_o behoove_v god_n first_o too_o make_v he_o feel_v his_o sharp_a and_o sore_a rigour_n and_o afterward_o to_o comfort_v he_o again_o and_o it_o be_v a_o text_n which_o we_o ought_v too_o mark_v well_o for_o if_o we_o mind_n too_o receive_v the_o grace_n that_o god_n give_v we_o and_o offer_v too_o we_o continual_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v first_o feel_v what_o we_o ourselves_o be_v and_o in_o what_o plight_n we_o be_v 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 adam_n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o that_o which_o be_v corruptible_a go_v foremost_a for_o he_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o order_n that_o god_n hold_v in_o nature_n but_o also_o of_o that_o which_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o consider_v on_o our_o part_n therefore_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o although_o we_o be_v bear_v into_o this_o world_n and_o be_v as_o noble_a and_o excellent_a creature_n of_o god_n as_o any_o can_v be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o by_o mean_n of_o sin_n death_n have_v as_o it_o be_v abolish_v and_o raze_v out_o that_o nobleness_n in_o so_o much_o that_o god_n mislike_v we_o and_o disclaim_v we_o as_o though_o his_o hand_n have_v not_o fashion_v we_o because_o we_o be_v disfigure_v and_o the_o devil_n have_v set_v his_o mark_n and_o stamp_n upon_o we_o and_o furthermore_o be_v subject_n too_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v pronounce_v upon_o adam_n we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o banish_v out_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o as_o there_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n but_o it_o abhor_v we_o this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o ourselves_o but_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o that_o battle_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v confound_v utter_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o man_n stand_v so_o much_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n be_v 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 wretched_a our_o life_n be_v and_o that_o death_n be_v yet_o more_o wretched_a because_o it_o be_v the_o great_a gulf_n that_o serve_v too_o show_v we_o of_o what_o importance_n the_o curse_n be_v 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 of_o heaviness_n and_o what_o remedy_n be_v there_o the_o remedy_n be_v to_o turn_v our_o eye_n too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o mean_a whereby_o god_n enlighten_v we_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n be_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o who_o we_o have_v the_o true_a daysun_n of_o righteousness_n now_o than_o if_o we_o have_v that_o regard_n 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 he_o know_v that_o if_o man_n be_v consider_v in_o themselves_o it_o be_v their_o very_a nature_n to_o have_v nothing_o else_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o confusion_n both_o in_o their_o life_n and_o in_o their_o death_n howbeit_o see_v we_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n although_o our_o state_n seem_v never_o so_o wretched_a insomuch_o that_o we_o be_v but_o as_o poor_a worm_n subject_a too_o corruption_n and_o rottenness_n yet_o come_v we_o too_o the_o taste_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n give_v we_o when_o he_o make_v light_a to_o issue_v out_o of_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n 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 the_o mean_n of_o his_o only_a son_n he_o have_v cause_v his_o goodness_n and_o grace_n to_o shine_v forth_o in_o our_o death_n yea_o even_o more_o than_o in_o our_o life_n for_o when_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o dungeon_n and_o gulf_n of_o hell_n then_o do_v god_n open_v we_o the_o gate_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o even_o then_o he_o make_v we_o too_o enter_v into_o the_o dwell_a place_n whereoutof_o we_o be_v now_o after_o a_o sort_n banish_v and_o christ_n enlighten_v we_o not_o only_o in_o death_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o darkness_n which_o be_v there_o shall_v not_o darken_v we_o and_o quite_o overwhelm_v we_o but_o also_o in_o our_o life_n this_o present_a world_n as_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o be_v full_a of_o darkness_n and_o we_o be_v poor_a blind_a soul_n in_o it_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n jesus_n christ_n cess_v not_o to_o enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o gospel_n we_o have_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n which_o be_v as_o burn_a cressette_n too_o we_o and_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n which_o be_v yet_o a_o far_o great_a light_n yea_o even_o as_o it_o be_v the_o light_n of_o high_a noon_n you_o see_v then_o how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a light_n for_o we_o both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n so_o we_o look_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o we_o must_v

have_v enlighten_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v walk_v in_o hope_n of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n although_o god_n take_v we_o hence_o and_o death_n before_o our_o eye_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o comfort_v our_o soul_n in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n for_o they_o

that_o our_o life_n be_v flightful_a and_o bethink_v we_o of_o the_o misery_n wherewith_o it_o be_v fraught_v and_o as_o it_o be_v pester_v we_o will_v not_o be_v so_o far_o in_o love_n with_o it_o

but_o we_o must_v not_o come_v too_o such_o extremity_n what_o then_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o our_o life_n vanish_v away_o in_o a_o moment_n let_v we_o consider_v also_o from_o whence_o the_o

therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o return_v always_o thither_o when_o we_o have_v learn_v too_o blame_v ourselves_o after_o this_o sort_n we_o shall_v not_o deal_v as_o those_o do_v that_o

and_o afterward_o when_o we_o have_v overpass_o so_o many_o encumbrance_n in_o effect_n we_o do_v but_o pine_v away_o by_o piecemeal_o therefore_o if_o we_o bethink_v we_o well_o of_o our_o state_n

they_o take_v a_o el_fw-es so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o ho_o nor_o measure_n with_o they_o but_o sure_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o spare_v those_o that_o be_v our_o inferior_n and_o above_o who_o god_n have_v advance_v we_o â–ª_o and_o what_o then_o must_v we_o do_v when_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o our_o equal_n or_o superior_n a_o master_n shall_v be_v condemn_v before_o god_n if_o he_o

to_o all_o man_n which_o be_v first_o that_o such_o as_o be_v advance_v to_o any_o authority_n must_v know_v that_o god_n set_v of_o they_o in_o that_o state_n be_v not_o to_o give_v they_o the_o

one_o point_n for_o the_o authority_n which_o be_v amongst_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v such_o pre-eminence_n that_o he_o which_o serve_v and_o be_v of_o low_a degree_n shall_v therefore_o be_v despise_v true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v master_n of_o his_o own_o house_n and_o there_o be_v no_o sovereignty_n so_o noble_a as_o that_o and_o therefore_o a_o man_n will_v look_v too_o have_v himself_o only_o hear_v and_o obey_v in_o his_o own_o house_n nevertheless_o we_o see_v that_o a_o master_n have_v no_o such_o power_n over_o his_o man_n and_o maid_n but_o that_o he_o ought_v too_o hear_v they_o patient_o when_o any_o wrong_n be_v do_v they_o then_o if_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o use_v such_o gentleness_n towards_o his_o underling_n in_o his_o own_o house_n what_o ought_v such_o to_o do_v which_o have_v authority_n of_o justice_n for_o they_o have_v no_o such_o power_n as_o master_n have_v over_o their_o servant_n they_o have_v a_o honourable_a authority_n and_o pre-eminence_n but_o that_o be_v not_o to_o lord_n it_o over_o man_n so_o as_o other_o shall_v be_v in_o bondage_n to_o they_o nay_o rather_o let_v not_o king_n and_o prince_n flatter_v themselves_o neither_o let_v they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o world_n be_v make_v for_o they_o but_o rather_o that_o they_o be_v make_v for_o the_o multitude_n have_v not_o god_n establish_v principality_n and_o kingdom_n for_o the_o common_a welfare_n it_o be_v not_o to_o advance_v two_o or_o three_o only_a above_o the_o rest_n no_o but_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n there_o shall_v be_v some_o order_n and_o state_n of_o government_n among_o man_n and_o therefore_o king_n and_o prince_n ought_v to_o beware_v that_o they_o live_v in_o such_o wise_n over_o their_o subject_n as_o they_o misuse_v they_o not_o nor_o execute_v any_o tyranny_n over_o they_o for_o they_o shall_v be_v much_o less_o excusable_a than_o be_v the_o master_n that_o deal_v cruel_o with_o their_o

forget_v themselves_o or_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o pride_n god_n must_v needs_o punish_v they_o more_o rough_o than_o the_o master_n that_o have_v do_v any_o outrage_n or_o wrong_v to_o their_o brethren_n that_o serve_v they_o furthermore_o be_v it_o so_o that_o such_o as_o have_v any_o authority_n over_o other_o must_v not_o exalt_v themselves_o what_o shall_v they_o do_v then_o which_o be_v of_o equal_a state_n how_o ought_v every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o live_v with_o his_o neighbour_n if_o a_o man_n exalt_v himself_o whereas_o he_o ought_v too_o acknowledge_v himself_o equal_a and_o fellow_n like_a so_o as_o he_o play_v the_o bull_n i_o pray_v you_o must_v not_o such_o pride_n be_v tame_v and_o when_o a_o man_n that_o have_v nothing_o in_o he_o but_o heady_a rashness_n will_v

ought_v to_o quake_v at_o his_o look_n shall_v not_o god_n set_v his_o hand_n to_o such_o bravery_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o this_o strain_n for_o it_o serve_v not_o only_o too_o teach_v mildness_n and_o gentleness_n unto_o master_n but_o also_o and_o of_o much_o more_o duty_n to_o all_o man_n in_o general_n and_o therefore_o as_o we_o see_v that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o inferior_n to_o suffer_v and_o endure_v such_o as_o have_v authority_n over_o they_o it_o behove_v every_o of_o we_o too_o look_v to_o his_o own_o state_n and_o calling_n and_o to_o learn_v to_o frame_v

this_o consist_v in_o two_o thing_n namely_o that_o we_o deal_v with_o uprightness_n &_o equity_n among_o our_o neighbour_n mark_v i_o that_o for_o a_o special_a point_n and_o also_o that_o we_o

every_o man_n have_v a_o care_n to_o serve_v his_o neighbour_n turn_n &_o to_o maintain_v this_o brotherly_a communion_n and_o equity_n of_o not_o do_v that_o to_o another_o which_o we_o will_v not_o

we_o will_v keep_v the_o right_a way_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o leap_v over_o the_o trench_n to_o step_v over_o the_o stone_n and_o to_o march_v among_o thorn_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o manifold_a

therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o job_n shall_v be_v fence_v all_o the_o while_n aforehand_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v serve_v to_o rampire_n he_o round_o about_o and_o this_o lesson_n be_v great_o for_o our_o profit_n for_o hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v to_o pray_v unto_o god_n that_o it_o may_v please_v he_o to_o defend_v we_o for_o asmuch_o as_o while_o we_o

that_o he_o be_v our_o buckler_n and_o shield_n our_o wall_n and_o trench_n our_o rampire_n and_o bulwark_n our_o tower_n and_o fortress_n wherefore_o do_v the_o scripture_n use_v so_o many_o word_n

unto_o he_o must_v they_o yield_v the_o praise_n of_o all_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v for_o if_o satan_n who_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o all_o truth_n do_v confess_v how_o it_o be_v god_n that_o be_v man_n defence_n &_o be_v compel_v to_o say_v so_o as_o if_o he_o be_v upon_o a_o rack_n see_v god_n have_v make_v we_o to_o taste_v of_o his_o work_v and_o make_v we_o to_o

god_n gracious_a goodness_n by_o his_o lie_v so_o as_o it_o may_v not_o be_v know_v at_o all_o so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o such_o as_o think_v not_o of_o this_o protection_n of_o god_n be_v worse_o than_o the_o devil_n and_o needs_o must_v it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v turn_v into_o brute_n beast_n or_o rather_o altogether_o bewitch_v thus_o much_o concern_v that_o word_n consequent_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n give_v satan_n leave_v to_o do_v what_o he_o list_v with_o all_o job_n good_n conditional_o that_o bee_n touch_v not_o his_o person_n here_o at_o the_o first_o blush_v a_o man_n may_v marvel_v why_o god_n do_v so_o give_v over_o his_o servant_n job_n to_o satan_n pleasure_n be_v it_o meet_v that_o the_o devil_n shall_v have_v such_o credit_n with_o god_n that_o when_o he_o crave_v leave_v to_o work_v we_o mischief_n god_n shall_v grant_n it_o he_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n favour_v he_o and_o that_o he_o make_v sport_n with_o we_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n as_o with_o a_o tennis_n ball_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n grant_v satan_n this_o thing_n he_o do_v it_o not_o to_o pleasure_v he_o neither_o be_v he_o move_v of_o any_o favour_n that_o he_o

punish_v he_o have_v already_o so_o determine_v in_o his_o own_o purpose_n before_o satan_n have_v utter_v any_o word_n or_o make_v any_o such_o petition_n god_n be_v mind_v to_o punish_v his_o servant_n and_o he_o mind_v it_o for_o ●ust_z cause_n the_o which_o he_o have_v discloze_v unto_o we_o &_o though_o the_o same_o be_v to_o we_o unknown_a yet_o must_v we_o lay_v our_o hand_n upon_o

full_o resolve_v upon_o this_o point_n namely_o that_o though_o we_o know_v not_o wherefore_o god_n punish_v we_o we_o must_v always_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o to_o be_v rightful_a but_o yet_o therewithal_o it_o behove_v we_o more_o over_o to_o have_v this_o lesson_n print_v in_o our_o heart_n namely_o that_o god_n love_v we_o so_o tender_o that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o bring_v we_o home_o again_o in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o spare_v we_o and_o hold_v we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o lap_n for_o so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v now_o then_o when_o we_o see_v satan_n come_v to_o kindle_v
if_o god_n see_v he_o not_o any_o more_o but_o to_o signify_v unto_o we_o what_o the_o fury_n of_o satan_n be_v and_o what_o be_v his_o accustom_a manner_n of_o deal_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o

there_o be_v yet_o one_o thing_n more_o mean_v by_o that_o say_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o satan_n do_v in_o effectual_a deed_n show_v the_o leave_n that_o he_o have_v get_v for_o i_o have_v

point_n it_o seem_v that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o name_n to_o be_v blaspheme_v what_o can_v they_o do_v who_o he_o handle_v so_o rigorous_o when_o they_o see_v death_n before_o their_o eye_n or_o rather_o have_v it_o between_o their_o tooth_n they_o can_v not_o but_o fret_v and_o chafe_v at_o it_o thus_o we_o see_v a_o occasion_n of_o murmur_v against_o god_n and_o it_o seem_v that_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o here_o we_o have_v a_o very_a good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o yet_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o give_v we_o some_o taste_n of_o his_o goodness_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o affliction_n we_o may_v still_o praise_v he_o and_o rejoice_v in_o he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o restrain_v our_o joy_n &_o turn_v they_o into_o bitterness_n but_o there_o be_v a_o mean_a betwixt_o blessing_n of_o god_n name_n and_o blaspheme_v of_o it_o which_o mean_a be_v to_o call_v upon_o he_o when_o we_o be_v oppress_v with_o adversity_n and_o to_o resort_v unto_o he_o desire_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o unto_o mercy_n but_o man_n can_v never_o keep_v this_o mean_a except_o god_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o it_o of_o himself_o when_o he_o scourge_v we_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o whensoever_o god_n send_v we_o any_o trouble_n and_o sorrow_n he_o cease_v not_o to_o make_v we_o taste_v of_o his_o goodness_n therewithal_o to_o assuage_v the_o anguish_n that_o may_v hold_v our_o heart_n in_o distress_n how_o be_v that_o we_o have_v show_v heretofore_o that_o if_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o god_n former_a benefit_n towards_o they_o yea_o though_o it_o be_v but_o in_o that_o he_o have_v sustain_v they_o from_o their_o childhood_n after_o he_o have_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o their_o mother_n womb_n and_o give_v they_o life_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o comfort_v they_o even_o when_o they_o be_v overload_v with_o despair_n and_o to_o make_v they_o think_v may_v not_o god_n punish_v we_o just_o for_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o bear_v patient_o the_o adversity_n that_o he_o send_v and_o nature_n teach_v we_o so_o to_o do_v forasmuch_o as_o he_o bestow_v so_o many_o
benefit_n upon_o we_o according_a as_o job_n have_v show_v heretofore_o we_o see_v then_o how_o this_o only_a one_o consideration_n ought_v to_o assuage_v our_o sorrow_n according_a as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v that_o if_o man_n put_v sugar_n or_o honey_n into_o a_o medicine_n that_o be_v over_o bitter_a it_o will_v allay_v it_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o the_o patient_n may_v the_o better_a take_v it_o whereas_o otherwise_o it_o will_v go_v near_o to_o choke_v he_o but_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o further_a matter_n in_o this_o namely_o that_o god_n show_v we_o the_o use_n of_o his_o chastyzemente_n which_o he_o send_v we_o which_o be_v not_o that_o he_o mean_v to_o destroy_v we_o so_o oft_o as_o he_o scourge_v we_o but_o that_o it_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n and_o welfare_n and_o he_o promise_v we_o that_o if_o we_o be_v faithful_a he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v rack_v out_o of_o measure_n but_o will_v support_v we_o so_o then_o if_o we_o be_v afflict_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v take_v pritche_n against_o god_n as_o though_o we_o find_v nothing_o but_o rigour_n at_o his_o hand_n for_o we_o be_v so_o comfort_v in_o our_o affliction_n as_o if_o

although_o we_o be_v hold_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o rack_n and_o that_o we_o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o comfort_v we_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v hasty_a to_o take_v pritche_n against_o

if_o we_o be_v merry_a say_v he_o let_v we_o sing_v not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o world_n which_o ruffle_v it_o and_o royet_v it_o without_o acknowledge_v that_o his_o good_n come_v of_o

abate_v his_o rigour_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o faithful_a be_v at_o their_o wit_n end_n so_o as_o they_o can_v no_o further_o go_v yet_o must_v they_o not_o rush_v against_o god_n and_o

for_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o faithful_a to_o mislike_v their_o own_o life_n and_o to_o wish_v so_o for_o death_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o may_v wish_v for_o death_n in_o one_o

the_o aid_n that_o god_n give_v they_o how_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v utter_o overcome_v by_o satan_n and_o thereupon_o do_v quiet_a themselves_o and_o take_v comfort_n in_o that_o he_o

notwithstanding_o they_o must_v restrain_v themselves_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o may_v whole_o submit_v themselves_o to_o god_n good_a pleasure_n know_v that_o they_o be_v not_o make_v for_o

be_v subject_v some_o to_o sickness_n some_o to_o poverty_n some_o too_o one_o thing_n and_o some_o to_o a_o other_o but_o because_o we_o be_v not_o full_o reform_v to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o

and_o holy_a notwithstanding_o that_o the_o case_n be_v evil_a and_o sure_o the_o principle_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o god_n pure_a truth_n by_o reason_n whereof_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v pronounce_v this_o say_n that_o never_o any_o righteous_a man_n have_v yet_o perish_v and_o that_o never_o any_o right_a deal_n man_n have_v be_v

upon_o the_o righteous_a and_o his_o ear_n be_v open_a to_o their_o prayer_n to_o hear_v they_o and_o to_o succour_v they_o at_o their_o need_n the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o this_o matter_n

have_v be_v strong_a than_o god_n if_o the_o righteous_a may_v have_v perish_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o always_o have_v recourse_n to_o this_o sentence_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o father_n who_o have_v put_v you_o into_o my_o hand_n be_v strong_a than_o all_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o our_o welfare_n shall_v never_o be_v in_o hazard_n for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n take_v we_o into_o his_o

once_o take_v charge_n of_o it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a doctrine_n that_o the_o righteous_a can_v not_o perish_v nor_o the_o right_a deal_n man_n be_v root_v out_o but_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n perish_v and_o afflict_v for_o punishment_n and_o affliction_n serve_v not_o always_o to_o destroy_v man_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v partly_o already_o yet_o may_v the_o affliction_n be_v so_o grievous_a sometime_o as_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o they_o be_v deadly_a what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v conclude_v according_a as_o i_o have_v show_v here_o before_o that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n chalendge_v it_o to_o be_v his_o office_n to_o pull_v man_n out_o of_o their_o grave_n we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v succour_v by_o he_o when_o we_o have_v endure_v for_o a_o time_n we_o see_v then_o that_o eliphas_n misappli_v his_o matter_n as_o though_o job_n be_v perish_v already_o and_o that_o god_n have_v forsake_v he_o utter_o without_o any_o remedy_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o poor_a man_n altogether_o disfigure_v irksome_a to_o behold_v and_o a_o spectacle_n that_o may_v show_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o do_v not_o god_n cease_v to_o love_v he_o as_o we_o may_v see_v and_o as_o experience_n show_v at_o the_o end_n eliphas_n therefore_o be_v prevent_v with_o a_o dread_n which_o make_v he_o to_o misdeem_v in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o leave_v no_o more_o room_n for_o god_n mercy_n and_o smear_v goodness_n lo_o wherein_o he_o overshoot_v himself_o also_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n in_o such_o miserable_a plight_n that_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o fordo_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n of_o his_o recovery_n let_v we_o learn_v let_v we_o learn_v i_o say_v to_o magnify_v god_n goodness_n and_o to_o hope_v that_o he_o can_v yet_o still_o remedy_v the_o mischief_n that_o seem_v incurable_a true_a it_o be_v that_o to_o man_n expectation_n all_o may_v be_v fordo_v but_o god_n have_v mean_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o whereby_o to_o succour_n his_o servant_n when_o he_o list_v to_o show_v himself_o pitiful_a towards_o they_o let_v we_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o show_v we_o the_o end_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v we_o suspend_v our_o judgement_n lest_o we_o be_v judge_v to_o be_v over_o hasty_a and_o rash_a thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o be_v so_o great_a as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o succour_v those_o that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v overthrow_v and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o quicken_v they_o again_o although_o they_o be_v already_o dead_a but_o we_o must_v not_o apply_v this_o doctrine_n only_o to_o our_o neighbour_n we_o must_v also_o practice_v it_o each_o one_o of_o we_o in_o himself_o and_o wherefore_o for_o when_o god_n send_v we_o many_o great_a trouble_n and_o by_o and_o by_o we_o conceive_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v here_o of_o job_n we_o need_v no_o eliphas_n to_o vex_v we_o &_o to_o bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o we_o be_v pass_v recovery_n there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o that_o have_v not_o the_o seed_n of_o harburning_a in_o himself_o to_o trouble_v &_o to_o martyr_v himself_o in_o his_o affliction_n yea_o even_o to_o drive_v we_o into_o despair_n our_o own_o nature_n afford_v we_o that_o so_o then_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o we_o he_o trouble_v with_o such_o a_o imagination_n at_o this_o how_o now_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o succour_v such_o as_o be_v he_o and_o thou_o pine_v away_o here_o yea_o even_o with_o extremity_n thou_o call_v upon_o god_n &_o he_o answer_v thou_o not_o where_o be_v his_o promise_n thou_o see_v well_o enough_o he_o have_v shake_v thou_o off_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o thou_o shall_v any_o more_o think_v that_o he_o account_v thou_o for_o any_o of_o he_o for_o if_o thou_o be_v it_o be_v high_a time_n for_o he_o to_o look_v upon_o thou_o and_o to_o pity_v thou_o now_o or_o never_o but_o he_o shut_v his_o eye_n and_o make_v as_o though_o he_o see_v thou_o not_o and_o therefore_o thou_o see_v he_o have_v utter_o forsake_v thou_o behold_v the_o temptation_n whereunto_o we_o be_v subject_n and_o which_o step_n before_o we_o to_o drive_v we_o utter_o into_o despair_n so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o have_v we_o need_v to_o be_v fence_a against_o such_o a_o conflict_n and_o after_o what_o manner_n it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o when_o any_o man_n mind_n cast_v such_o temptation_n before_o he_o he_o must_v answer_v and_o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o never_o righteous_a man_n yet_o perish_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o right_a deal_n man_n can_v not_o be_v root/rot_z out_o but_o what_o be_v this_o perish_v it_o be_v more_o than_o to_o be_v only_o afflict_v and_o wherefore_o for_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n raise_v up_o the_o dead_a that_o he_o give_v courage_n to_o such_o as_o be_v utter_o dismay_v and_o that_o he_o recover_v such_o as_o be_v wound_v to_o death_n when_o the_o scripture_n say_v so_o be_v it_o not_o to_o show_v that_o god_n utter_v his_o

must_v god_n work_v in_o we_o there_o be_v many_o other_o sentence_n which_o tend_v unto_o the_o self_n same_o end_n so_o then_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n preserve_v not_o his_o servant_n as_o

race_n of_o our_o life_n upon_o our_o finger_n certain_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v such_o dullard_n as_o we_o be_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o think_v we_o lose_v our_o time_n when_o we_o set_v our_o mind_n upon_o this_o lesson_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o know_v that_o our_o life_n be_v nothing_o and_o that_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o death_n menace_v we_o in_o the_o chief_a lustiness_n that_o we_o have_v here_o below_o when_o any_o of_o our_o kinsfolk_n or_o friend_n depart_v or_o if_o we_o see_v any_o corpse_n go_v to_o burial_n we_o have_v the_o wit_n to_o say_v and_o what_o be_v man_n life_n if_o there_o be_v any_o great_a death_n in_o a_o town_n or_o in_o a_o country_n we_o be_v yet_o more_o move_v but_o all_o this_o be_v forget_v with_o we_o by_o and_o by_o therefore_o have_v we_o need_v to_o exercise_v ourselves_o in_o this_o doctrine_n all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v why_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o unto_o we_o as_o concern_v the_o present_a text_n it_o be_v say_v first_o of_o all_o that_o man_n dwell_v in_o house_n of_o clay_n and_o that_o their_o foundation_n be_v but_o dust_n that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o we_o consider_v this_o present_a life_n by_o itself_o wherein_o consist_v it_o in_o be_v enclose_v within_o lodging_n that_o tend_v but_o to_o corruption_n and_o what_o else_o be_v those_o but_o our_o body_n behold_v then_o what_o our_o steadfastness_n be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o
every_o whit_n of_o it_o go_v incontinent_o unto_o dust_n &_o we_o be_v consume_v either_o by_o worm_n or_o by_o wind_n that_o be_v too_o say_v we_o be_v dispatch_v as_o soon_o as_o a_o worm_n which_o be_v but_o a_o thing_n of_o nought_o and_o which_o we_o scarce_o esteem_v as_o a_o live_a creature_n &_o yet_o be_v we_o consume_v soon_o than_o it_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o first_o place_n afterwards_o eliphas_n add_v that_o man_n perish_v and_o be_v consume_v from_o morning_n unto_o evening_n some_o expound_v this_o as_o though_o it_o be_v mean_v that_o man_n perish_v in_o small_a time_n &_o that_o be_v very_o true_a but_o herewithal_o there_o be_v yet_o more_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o pass_v not_o a_o minute_n of_o our_o life_n but_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o approach_n unto_o death_n if_o we_o consider_v it_o well_o when_o a_o man_n rise_v in_o the_o morning_n he_o be_v sure_a he_o shall_v not_o step_v forth_o one_o pace_n he_o be_v sure_a he_o shall_v not_o take_v his_o repast_n he_o be_v sure_a he_o shall_v not_o turn_v about_o his_o hand_n but_o he_o shall_v still_o wax_v elder_a and_o elder_a and_o his_o life_n ever_o shorten_v then_o must_v we_o consider_v even_o by_o eye_n sight_n that_o our_o life_n fleet_v &_o slide_v away_o from_o we_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o be_v consume_v from_o morning_n to_o evening_n and_o it_o be_v say_v afterward_o that_o man_n perish_v for_o ever_o because_o no_o man_n think_v upon_o it_o we_o must_v treat_v of_o these_o two_o point_n that_o we_o may_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o this_o doctrine_n the_o one_o poyntis_n that_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v we_o shall_v always_o have_v death_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o be_v provoke_v to_o think_v upon_o it_o this_o as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v well_o know_v among_o man_n the_o very_a heathen_a have_v skill_n to_o say_v so_o but_o what_o for_o that_o every_o man_n can_v play_v the_o doctor_n in_o teach_v other_o man_n that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o &_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n there_o be_v never_o a_o good_a scholar_n of_o we_o all_o in_o this_o behalf_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o man_n which_o show_v by_o his_o do_n that_o ever_o he_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consume_v from_o morning_n to_o evening_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o all_o his_o lustiness_n be_v but_o feebleness_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o steadfastness_n in_o we_o to_o hold_v ourselves_o in_o one_o continual_a state_n but_o that_o we_o always_o have_v towards_o death_n &_o death_n towards_o we_o so_o as_o we_o must_v needs_o come_v thither_o at_o legnth_n very_o if_o we_o have_v no_o more_o but_o this_o single_a doctrine_n alone_o it_o will_v stand_v we_o in_o no_o stead_n but_o to_o make_v we_o storm_n &_o torment_v ourselves_o like_v as_o when_o the_o paynim_n know_v that_o our_o life_n be_v so_o flightful_a they_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o it_o be_v best_o never_o to_o be_v bear_v and_o that_o the_o soon_o we_o die_v the_o better_a it_o be_v for_o we_o lo_o how_o the_o paynim_n reject_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n because_o they_o know_v not_o the_o honour_n that_o he_o do_v we_o when_o he_o send_v we_o into_o this_o world_n even_o to_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v reasonable_a creature_n &_o have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n print_v in_o our_o nature_n we_o have_v a_o record_n that_o he_o hold_v we_o here_o as_o his_o child_n and_o to_o despise_v such_o a_o grace_n and_o to_o say_v it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o we_o never_o to_o have_v be_v create_v be_v it_o not_o apparent_a blasphemy_n so_o than_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o be_v consume_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n but_o we_o must_v come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o have_v well_o behild_n how_o brittle_a our_o life_n be_v we_o must_v also_o mark_v how_o we_o be_v repair_v again_o by_o god_n grace_n &_o special_o how_o we_o be_v sustain_v &_o uphold_n by_o the_o same_o according_a also_o as_o these_o two_o point_n be_v match_v together_o in_o the_o hundred_o and_o four_o psalm_n for_o it_o be_v say_v there_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o god_n withdraw_v his_o spirit_n and_o work_v all_o go_v to_o decay_v yea_o but_o the_o prophet_n add_v also_o that_o if_o god_n spread_v forth_o his_o power_n all_o be_v renew_v in_o this_o world_n and_o all_o thing_n take_v their_o liveliness_n of_o he_o we_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o know_v ourselves_o to_o be_v less_o than_o nothing_o and_o that_o we_o be_v so_o subject_a unto_o death_n as_o we_o must_v run_v thither_o as_o you_o will_v say_v spite_n of_o our_o tooth_n we_o must_v understand_v also_o that_o in_o this_o so_o great_a weakness_n god_n hold_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n so_o as_o we_o be_v uphild_n by_o his_o power_n and_o strengthen_v by_o his_o grate_n behold_v wherein_o we_o have_v to_o rejoice_v but_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o benefit_n &_o good_a grace_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o above_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n in_o restore_v we_o by_o his_o word_n as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v all_o flesh_n be_v but_o as_o grass_n very_o man_n be_v green_a &_o flourish_v for_o a_o while_n but_o he_o wither_v by_o &_o by_o whereas_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n endure_v for_o ever_o yea_o not_o only_o to_o continue_v in_o heaven_n but_o also_o to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o it_o we_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o be_v redeem_v out_o of_o the_o universal_a corruption_n of_o this_o earthly_a life_n that_o god_n may_v dwell_v in_o we_o &_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o everlastingness_n we_o see_v they_o whereto_o we_o must_v come_v to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o this_o lesson_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v yet_o once_o again_o anon_o furthermore_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v ourselves_o wanze_v away_o so_o fast_o that_o from_o morning_n to_o evening_n we_o go_v continual_o to_o our_o decay_n therefore_o must_v we_o be_v the_o busy_a to_o bestow_v the_o time_n well_o that_o god_n give_v we_o because_o it_o be_v so_o short_a god_n have_v put_v we_o into_o this_o world_n to_o keep_v we_o occupy_v in_o his_o service_n if_o we_o have_v long_a time_n yet_o can_v we_o not_o be_v to_o diligent_a nor_o earnest_a in_o do_v our_o duty_n too_o discharge_v our_o self_n when_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o point_n to_o do_v god_n service_n both_o with_o our_o body_n &_o our_o soul_n but_o forasmuchas_o we_o see_v that_o he_o need_v but_o to_o turn_v his_o hand_n and_o behold_v we_o be_v at_o the_o last_o cast_v ought_v we_o not_o to_o be_v much_o more_o earnest_a to_o run_v according_a also_o as_o the_o scripture_n exhort_v we_o show_v we_o that_o this_o life_n here_o be_v but_o a_o race_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v not_o go_v loyter_o but_o every_o man_n must_v cheer_n up_o himself_o &_o prick_v and_o spur_v forward_o himself_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v as_o yet_o to_o note_v upon_o this_o sentence_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n be_v consume_v away_o from_o morning_n to_o night_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o eliphas_n add_v he_o say_v that_o they_o perish_v for_o ever_o because_o no_o man_n think_v upon_o it_o a_o man_n may_v demand_v here_o whether_o we_o shun_v death_n when_o we_o think_v not_o upon_o it_o for_o in_o the_o nine_o and_o forty_o psalm_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wise_a man_n and_o fool_n be_v gather_v all_o into_o one_o herd_n so_o then_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o all_o mankind_n be_v shut_v up_o under_o this_o necessity_n of_o die_v and_o wherefore_o then_o be_v it_o say_v here_o that_o all_o perish_v for_o ever_o because_o none_o think_v of_o it_o first_o of_o all_o eliphas_n mean_v to_o tea●he_v we_o here_o that_o man_n do_v as_o it_o be_v wax_v beastly_a when_o they_o look_v not_o to_o themselves_o for_o look_v what_o he_o speak_v here_o we_o must_v always_o refer_v it_o to_o the_o present_a case_n he_o make_v it_o not_o his_o general_a case_n to_o treat_v of_o that_o man_n life_n be_v transitory_a without_o go_v any_o further_o but_o he_o intend_v to_o show_v we_o that_o for_o somuch_o as_o we_o be_v poor_a silly_a creature_n creep_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n we_o can_v attain_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o angel_n nor_o yet_o come_v near_o it_o so_o than_o whereas_o he_o say_v
destitute_a of_o all_o mean_n of_o help_n and_o succour_v in_o deed_n some_o do_v refer_v this_o unto_o man_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v how_o it_o be_v god_n that_o have_v bestrip_v they_o and_o leave_v they_o destitute_a of_o all_o succour_n to_o the_o intent_n they_o shall_v never_o be_v help_v up_o again_o but_o as_o for_o our_o part_n according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o cause_n to_o cast_v down_o our_o eye_n &_o to_o pray_v god_n to_o make_v we_o walk_v aright_o in_o his_o obedience_n and_o that_o although_o we_o perceive_v not_o his_o curse_n upon_o we_o nor_o upon_o our_o child_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o may_v take_v it_o for_o a_o conclusion_n that_o god_n have_v mean_n to_o we_o incomprehensible_a insomuch_o that_o when_o it_o shall_v seem_v unto_o we_o that_o all_o thing_n go_v well_o and_o that_o we_o have_v provide_v aforehand_o not_o only_o for_o our_o whole_a life_n but_o also_o for_o after_o our_o death_n that_o our_o child_n also_o may_v be_v in_o good_a sureness_n of_o welfare_n so_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v we_o have_v set_v all_o thing_n in_o good_a order_n and_o nothing_o be_v amiss_o we_o may_v consider_v that_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o and_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o god_n do_v but_o blow_v upon_o our_o determination_n and_o device_n he_o shall_v turn_v they_o all_o upside_o down_o when_o we_o know_v this_o let_v we_o not_o abuse_v his_o patience_n and_o if_o he_o spare_v we_o for_o a_o time_n let_v it_o not_o make_v we_o to_o oversleepe_v ourselves_o and_o to_o sooth_n ourselves_o in_o our_o vice_n but_o let_v it_o learn_v we_o to_o return_v unto_o he_o in_o due_a season_n and_o to_o prevent_v this_o vengeance_n wherewith_o he_o

nevertheless_o the_o holy_a ghost_n presuppose_v that_o which_o be_v true_a and_o which_o we_o also_o may_v stick_v unto_o as_o most_o certain_a and_o infallible_a which_o be_v that_o in_o scourge_v and_o trouble_v of_o we_o god_n have_v a_o respect_n to_o provide_v for_o we_o by_o it_o in_o the_o end_n and_o when_o he_o have_v sufficient_o try_v we_o and_o humble_v we_o he_o will_v turn_v the_o

far_o from_o help_n it_o be_v to_o express_v that_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o punish_v the_o wicked_a he_o proceed_v with_o it_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o man_n may_v perceive_v he_o do_v it_o not_o

god_n sith_o he_o challenge_v it_o as_o his_o office_n to_o save_v those_o that_o be_v in_o such_o distress_n as_o they_o be_v able_a too_o endure_v no_o more_o true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n can_v

call_v upon_o he_o and_o too_o flee_v unto_o he_o for_o refuge_n we_o see_v then_o how_o that_o by_o these_o affliction_n we_o be_v teach_v first_o to_o know_v ourselves_o that_o we_o presume_v not_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

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

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 ●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

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

trust_v in_o god_n for_o that_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a matter_n to_o do_v true_a it_o be_v that_o every_o man_n will_v protest_v that_o he_o trust_v in_o god_n but_o this_o trust_n import_v much_o

own_o good_a accord_n so_o then_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v declare_v heretofore_o namely_o that_o when_o god_n judgement_n be_v lay_v afore_o we_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n to_o

therefore_o that_o we_o must_v not_o refuse_v the_o correction_n of_o the_o almighty_a if_o a_o man_n shall_v tell_v we_o that_o god_n do_v man_n no_o wrong_v when_o he_o become_v their_o judge_n and_o use_v great_a severity_n and_o rigour_n towards_o they_o very_o this_o aught_o to_o touch_v we_o near_o enough_o but_o yet_o
in_o the_o eighteen_o psalm_n i_o will_v be_v stubborn_a against_o such_o as_o be_v stubborn_a we_o make_v a_o fair_a hand_n if_o we_o be_v stout_a and_o stubborn_a and_o furnish_v against_o god_n let_v we_o not_o think_v to_o compass_v he_o by_o that_o mean_n for_o he_o will_v be_v froward_a with_o the_o froward_a that_o be_v too_o say_v he_o will_v be_v over_o terrible_a when_o he_o see_v man_n use_v such_o a_o obstinate_a malice_n against_o he_o and_o therefore_o needs_o must_v they_o be_v utter_o oppress_v but_o if_o we_o be_v of_o a_o meek_a mind_n too_o submit_v ourselves_o too_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v that_o thing_n in_o he_o which_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o then_o let_v we_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v show_v we_o by_o the_o apostle_n humble_a yourselves_o say_v he_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n for_o who_o soever_o stoop_v down_o with_o his_o head_n who_o soever_o bow_v his_o knee_n before_o god_n to_o honour_n he_o shall_v feel_v his_o hand_n ready_a too_o relieve_v he_o if_o he_o fall_v but_o he_o that_o lift_v himself_o up_o against_o god_n shall_v be_v sure_a to_o feel_v god_n hand_n against_o he_o desire_v we_o to_o feel_v god_n hand_n under_o we_o to_o aid_v we_o then_o let_v we_o humble_v ourselves_o but_o who_o soever_o advance_v himself_o he_o must_v needs_o rush_v against_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o feel_v the_o thunderclap_n that_o shall_v utter_o overwhelm_v he_o and_o so_o let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n this_o lesson_n when_o it_o be_v say_v refuse_v not_o the_o correction_n of_o the_o almighty_a when_v we_o shall_v have_v catch_v hold_n of_o god_n goodness_n so_o as_o we_o know_v his_o fatherly_a love_n it_o will_v serve_v to_o sweeten_v the_o

will_v be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o we_o to_o say_v bliss_v be_v god_n for_o chastise_v man_n so_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n when_o we_o ourselves_o be_v chastise_v we_o do_v not_o

be_v not_o that_o man_n of_o we_o which_o have_v not_o many_o vice_n in_o he_o and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v as_o many_o disease_n which_o god_n can_v heal_v but_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o affliction_n

we_o treat_v only_o of_o the_o mean_a which_o his_o will_n be_v to_o keep_v towards_o we_o for_o asmuch_o then_n as_o it_o be_v god_n will_v to_o hold_v this_o say_a order_n of_o remedy_v our_o vice_n by_o scourge_v we_o it_o behove_v every_o of_o we_o to_o study_v this_o lesson_n for_o himself_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v all_o confess_v with_o david_n lord_n it_o be_v to_o my_o profit_n that_o thou_o have_v bring_v i_o low_a david_n speak_v not_o there_o of_o other_o man_n to_o say_v lord_n thou_o have_v do_v well_o to_o chastise_v such_o as_o have_v do_v amiss_o but_o he_o begin_v at_o

can_v abide_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n but_o they_o strive_v against_o he_o and_o continue_v always_o unamendable_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a and_o profitable_a for_o they_o to_o be_v

bear_v very_o much_o with_o we_o in_o do_v thereof_o true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v see_v he_o punish_v not_o the_o wicked_a as_o he_o do_v we_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v

set_v down_o here_o for_o all_o the_o faithful_a when_o god_n afflict_v they_o which_o be_v that_o their_o wound_n be_v not_o deadly_a because_o god_n will_v at_o length_n deliver_v they_o from_o

man_n shall_v be_v gather_v into_o his_o grave_n as_o a_o stack_n of_o corn_n be_v gather_v together_o in_o due_a time_n and_o lay_v into_o the_o berne_n and_o also_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v come_v thither_o in_o abundance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o shall_v have_v live_v his_o fill_n here_o eliphas_n mean_v to_o say_v that_o god_n will_v preserve_v his_o servant_n from_o violent_a death_n 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 ▪_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

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 ▪_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

for_o they_o offer_v up_o a_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v most_o acceptable_a too_o god_n and_o it_o be_v a_o offering_n of_o sweet_a savour_n when_o he_o see_v his_o word_n seal_v up_o with_o the_o

as_o we_o be_v of_o the_o less_o power_n against_o such_o affliction_n for_o if_o god_n spare_v we_o for_o a_o time_n we_o know_v not_o that_o he_o keep_v we_o for_o the_o end_n we_o see_v many_o that_o have_v be_v careless_a and_o have_v make_v good_a cheer_n all_o the_o time_n of_o their_o life_n yea_o and_o even_o when_o man_n have_v labour_v to_o make_v they_o feel_v god_n and_o his_o

whereunto_o they_o have_v be_v give_v they_o have_v be_v fain_o as_o then_o to_o feel_v the_o terror_n of_o hell_n and_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v lock_v up_o in_o they_o yea_o and_o utter_o

wherewith_o they_o be_v puff_v up_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n to_o grieve_v he_o with_o therefore_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v to_o we_o of_o the_o dreadfulness_n which_o they_o conceive_v that_o feel_v god_n to_o be_v their_o judge_n let_v we_o learn_v how_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v think_v upon_o it_o and_o certain_o the_o bodily_a harm_n do_v

and_o that_o god_n use_v not_o his_o force_n to_o overwhelm_v he_o at_o once_o that_o his_o misery_n may_v quick_o be_v at_o a_o end_n but_o yet_o sure_o they_o that_o be_v so_o dispatch_v upon_o

to_o bear_v and_o as_o bitter_a as_o the_o heat_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v endure_v afore_o yea_o very_o if_o a_o man_n have_v either_o heat_n or_o cold_a or_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o trouble_v

when_o we_o lose_v the_o whole_a hand_n yea_o and_o even_o when_o we_o shall_v be_v fain_o to_o lose_v the_o whole_a body_n then_o must_v we_o not_o think_v that_o the_o misery_n be_v in_o the_o

although_o we_o be_v plunge_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n year_n may_v we_o escape_v but_o if_o it_o please_v not_o he_o to_o deliver_v we_o we_o shall_v not_o fail_v to_o come_v to_o utter_v ruin_n sith_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o let_v we_o not_o think_v too_o have_v case_n when_o god_n shall_v have_v change_v the_o kind_n of_o misery_n but_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o can_v

themselves_o utter_o
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 judge_n behold_v that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o depth_n of_o hell_n and_o the_o gulf_n that_o be_v open_a to_o swallow_v we_o up_o we_o must_v have_v bethink_v we_o of_o these_o thing_n before_o hand_n that_o we_o may_v know_v how_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o &_o that_o this_o conceit_n also_o do_v not_o utter_o confound_v we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o job_n who_o be_v a_o man_n of_o 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 of_o we_o fling_v out_o at_o random_n and_o deceive_v himself_o but_o job_n say_v here_o how_o it_o be_v contrariwise_o with_o he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o speak_v in_o himself_o how_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

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

like_a befall_v to_o job_n child_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o we_o must_v not_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o person_n here_o we_o must_v not_o only_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v that_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n stretch_v out_o his_o arm_n too_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o he_o ought_v to_o tremble_v and_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v have_v missebehave_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n know_v that_o he_o chastize_v we_o by_o other_o man_n harm_n and_o there_o behold_v and_o after_o a_o sort_n feel_v how_o terrible_a his_o wrath_n be_v upon_o all_o such_o as_o advance_v themselves_o to_o resist_v he_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o saint_n paul_n turn_v his_o speech_n to_o the_o faithful_a say_v be_v you_o not_o deceive_v by_o vain_a word_n for_o by_o reason_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v god_n wrath_n wont_a to_o come_v upon_o the_o unbeliever_n true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n flatter_v themselves_o by_o discountenance_v of_o their_o sin_n according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o these_o devilish_a scoffer_n and_o jester_n do_v cloak_v they_o at_o this_o day_n so_o that_o now_o a_o day_n if_o a_o man_n speak_v of_o lechery_n it_o shall_v be_v make_v but_o a_o trick_n of_o youth_n oh_o it_o be_v of_o nature_n and_o if_o a_o man_n speak_v of_o drunkenness_n answer_v shall_v be_v make_v god_n give_v wine_n and_o will_v he_o not_o have_v we_o too_o be_v merry_a with_o it_o you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o manner_n man_n become_v brutish_a and_o spew_v out_o their_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n and_o how_o they_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o shift_n to_o flatter_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o fault_n and_o evil_a do_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n saint_n paul_n say_v my_o friend_n let_v not_o man_n deceive_v you_o with_o such_o heathenish_a talk_n he_o say_v not_o for_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n shall_v come_v upon_o you_o you_o shall_v be_v overwhelm_v by_o it_o but_o he_o say_v learn_v to_o know_v that_o which_o god_n show_v you_o have_v very_o fair_a mirror_n as_o oft_o as_o god_n chastize_v the_o whoremonger_n the_o unbeliever_n the_o disobedient_a the_o stubborn_a and_o all_o such_o kind_n of_o folk_n he_o mean_v too_o show_v you_o that_o no_o evil_n escape_v unpunished_a so_o then_o prevent_v you_o his_o vengeance_n and_o tarry_v not_o till_o he_o fall_v upon_o you_o but_o profit_v yourselves_o by_o the_o instruction_n that_o he_o give_v you_o a_o far_o of_o thus_o much_o concern_v this_o sentence_n wherein_o the_o correction_n that_o god_n send_v be_v set_v afore_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o god_n send_v all_o rebel_n to_o the_o place_n of_o their_o iniquity_n and_o true_a it_o be_v that_o some_o be_v to_o be_v find_v so_o foolish_a and_o madbrayn_v as_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o maintain_v the_o case_n of_o the_o wicked_a against_o god_n but_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n shall_v lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o creature_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a notwithstanding_o that_o we_o know_v not_o wherefore_o he_o do_v it_o and_o this_o be_v according_a to_o that_o we_o have_v declare_v more_o at_o large_a already_o namely_o that_o if_o any_o notorious_a sin_n be_v punish_v before_o our_o eye_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o god_n warn_v we_o and_o set_v they_o before_o we_o as_o lively_a picture_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinth_n so_o as_o if_o we_o see_v a_o man_n that_o be_v full_a of_o blasphemy_n and_o a_o despiser_n of_o god_n that_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n abide_v neither_o yoke_n nor_o discipline_n but_o be_v altogether_o awlesse_a if_o we_o see_v a_o worldling_n a_o lecher_n a_o rioter_n or_o a_o person_n of_o lewd_a and_o loce_fw-la life_n if_o we_o see_v a_o drunkard_n or_o if_o we_o see_v a_o naughty_a pack_n that_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o deceive_v one_o and_o too_o spoil_v another_o of_o their_o good_n and_o if_o god_n perform_v and_o execute_v upon_o such_o a_o one_o the_o vengeance_n that_o he_o declare_v in_o his_o law_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a warrant_n that_o we_o must_v not_o dally_v with_o he_o nor_o surmise_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v utter_v with_o his_o own_o mouth_n be_v but_o scarebugge_n for_o little_a babe_n see_v that_o the_o effect_n of_o they_o be_v match_v with_o they_o and_o if_o we_o see_v not_o a_o apparent_a and_o visible_a cause_n let_v we_o nevertheless_o understand_v that_o if_o god_n use_v never_o so_o great_a rigour_n yet_o must_v not_o we_o therefore_o be_v inquisitive_a and_o say_v why_o do_v he_o so_o we_o know_v not_o neither_o must_v we_o presume_v to_o know_v so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o to_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o calamity_n and_o affliction_n which_o god_n send_v in_o this_o world_n we_o must_v look_v if_o there_o be_v any_o evident_a sign_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o yield_v ourselves_o conformable_a unto_o

too_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v that_o if_o god_n visit_v we_o in_o this_o world_n and_o make_v we_o to_o pine_v away_o although_o we_o be_v oppress_v so_o mighty_o that_o our_o life_n shall_v be_v more_o tedious_a and_o bitter_a to_o we_o than_o a_o thousand_o death_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o still_o give_v we_o time_n of_o repentance_n and_o if_o we_o return_v unto_o he_o out_o of_o hand_n we_o shall_v find_v he_o thorough_o ready_a too_o receive_v we_o and_o that_o be_v will_v make_v the_o dwell_a place_n our_o righteousness_n peaceable_a yea_o very_o if_o we_o come_v unto_o he_o with_o prayer_n and_o bring_v a_o pure_a and_o rightmeen_a heart_n with_o we_o behold_v a_o very_a good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n for_o thereby_o man_n be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o gracious_a goodness_n that_o god_n do_v to_o they_o and_o the_o favour_n that_o he_o show_v they_o in_o that_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o too_o be_v quite_o cut_v away_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n but_o let_v they_o alone_o still_o in_o this_o life_n true_a it_o be_v that_o such_o a_o languish_a as_o job_n be_v in_o will_v be_v far_o hard_a and_o grievous_a than_o death_n and_o we_o see_v also_o that_o when_o job_n look_v no_o further_o but_o too_o his_o own_o state_n he_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o be_v hang_v for_o you_o see_v he_o have_v so_o speak_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n if_o we_o cast_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o end_n that_o god_n am_z at_o and_o upon_o the_o mark_n that_o he_o set_v before_o we_o also_o then_o shall_v we_o find_v that_o all_o our_o sorrow_n be_v assuage_v and_o why_o we_o shall_v feel_v that_o he_o have_v yet_o still_o pity_n upon_o we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o a_o man_n feel_v here_o as_o it_o be_v his_o hell_n and_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o be_v comfort_v he_o have_v the_o horrible_a terror_n of_o feeling_n god_n to_o be_v against_o he_o and_o to_o be_v his_o mortal_a enemy_n and_o that_o hereupon_o he_o have_v as_o it_o be_v a_o fire_n burn_v in_o his_o mind_n well_o when_o a_o poor_a man_n feel_v such_o anguish_n and_o therewithal_o do_v in_o his_o person_n suffer_v on_o the_o one_o side_n slander_n and_o on_o the_o otherside_n so_o great_a pain_n and_o assault_n as_o shall_v be_v intolerable_a true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o say_v poor_a man_n may_v at_o the_o first_o brunt_n wish_v and_o desire_v death_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o will_v require_v no_o better_o than_o too_o pass_v through_o fire_n water_n and_o sword_n according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v that_o such_o as_o be_v overtake_v with_o this_o dread_n of_o god_n will_v have_v the_o mountain_n to_o fall_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v turn_v upside_o down_o to_o overwhelm_v they_o but_o what_o for_o that_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o consideration_n too_o say_v i_o perceive_v that_o my_o god_n do_v here_o offer_v i_o his_o mercy_n and_o that_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o i_o shall_v draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o that_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v scourge_v at_o his_o hand_n he_o call_v we_o to_o he_o with_o sweet_a and_o amiable_a voice_n encourage_v we_o to_o come_v too_o he_o with_o assure_a promise_n that_o he_o will_v show_v himself_o gracious_a and_o pitiful_a
likewise_o be_v torment_v so_o that_o they_o shall_v pay_v very_o dear_a for_o all_o their_o joy_n lo_o how_o the_o scripture_n avouch_v it_o and_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o receive_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v there_o and_o to_o be_v thorough_o resolve_v of_o it_o and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v god_n the_o honour_n too_o give_v credit_n to_o his_o word_n then_o will_v he_o make_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o which_o other_o man_n perceive_v not_o namely_o that_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o the_o great_a adversity_n and_o heaviness_n that_o can_v betide_v we_o we_o have_v still_o cause_n to_o laugh_v that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o comfort_v and_o cheer_v ourselves_o because_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o happy_a end_n which_o god_n promise_v notwithstanding_o that_o the_o same_o can_v not_o be_v perceive_v by_o our_o earthly_a eye_n and_o understanding_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n favour_v not_o the_o wicked_a and_o why_o because_o that_o although_o they_o have_v never_o so_o much_o prosperity_n and_o although_o they_o flourish_v never_o so_o much_o to_o outward_a appearance_n yet_o be_v all_o of_o it_o turn_v to_o their_o ruin_n and_o confusion_n and_o contrariwise_o though_o the_o faithful_a be_v scourge_v and_o torment_v many_o way_n yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v uphild_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n ▪_o they_o never_o

much_o the_o more_o therefore_o behoove_v it_o we_o to_o bethink_v we_o of_o god_n righteousness_n a_o great_a while_n aforehand_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o he_o scourge_v we_o we_o may_v

alike_o god_n do_v sometime_o spare_v the_o wicked_a and_o bear_v with_o they_o and_o sometime_o he_o chastize_v those_o who_o he_o love_v and_o handle_v they_o much_o more_o rigorous_o than_o those_o that_o be_v utter_o past_o amendment_n then_o if_o we_o will_v deem_v that_o god_n chastize_v every_o man_n according_a too_o his_o desert_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o it_o when_o man_n covet_v to_o maintain_v his_o righteousness_n by_o that_o mean_v they_o take_v a_o wrong_a way_n you_o see_v then_o here_o be_v a_o fault_n for_o when_o man_n will_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o measure_v god_n justice_n and_o to_o say_v he_o punish_v no_o man_n but_o for_o his_o sin_n yea_o and_o look_v in_o what_o manner_n and_o quantity_n every_o one_o have_v offend_v thereafter_o must_v god_n pay_v he_o home_o in_o this_o world_n then_o do_v they_o not_o take_v god_n justice_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v in_o this_o respect_n job_n treat_v now_o much_o better_a of_o the_o manner_n of_o god_n

from_o their_o moother_n womb_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o whole_a world_n must_v needs_o be_v condemn_v afore_o god_n and_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o although_o the_o affliction_n seem_v rough_a yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n can_v not_o be_v reprove_v then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o they_o be_v two_o diverse_a manner_n of_o speech_n to_o say_v god_n be_v righteous_a for_o he_o punish_v man_n according_a to_o their_o desert_n and_o too_o say_v god_n be_v righteous_a for_o how_o so_o ever_o he_o handle_v man_n yet_o must_v we_o always_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v and_o not_o grudge_v

that_o man_n shall_v know_v the_o particular_a judgement_n which_o he_o execute_v to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v warn_v by_o it_o and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v after_o the_o

his_o word_n it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o walk_v in_o fear_n when_o he_o punish_v wicked_a lust_n it_o be_v to_o hold_v we_o in_o awe_n when_o he_o
do_v favour_n and_o maintain_v the_o evil_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n have_v forsake_v they_o and_o thereby_o show_v that_o he_o have_v withdraw_v himself_o from_o we_o because_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

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

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 affection_n be_v for_o it_o behove_v man_n to_o know_v themselves_o and_o to_o be_v warn_v of_o their_o infirmity_n that_o they_o may_v take_v heed_n too_o themselves_o &_o bridle_v themselves_o for_o somuch_o as_o if_o they_o let_v themselves_o at_o liberty_n they_o shall_v keep_v neither_o mean_a nor_o measure_n lo_o how_o we_o ought_v too_o apply_v this_o lesson_n too_o our_o instruction_n 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 faithful_a servant_n when_o they_o pine_v in_o pain_n i_o come_v hither_o not_o know_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o i_o if_o thou_o pity_v i_o not_o now_o therefore_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v 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
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 or_o some_o other_o adversity_n and_o we_o think_v then_o that_o god_n ought_v not_o too_o begin_v new_a again_o with_o we_o but_o that_o we_o be_v quite_o discharge_v and_o be_v become_v stout_a champion_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o bodily_a affliction_n that_o we_o can_v endure_v be_v nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o distress_n that_o a_o poor_a sinner_n be_v in_o when_o he_o perceive_v that_o god_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o party_n against_o he_o and_o persecute_v he_o so_o as_o he_o can_v find_v no_o mean_n too_o come_v too_o atonement_n and_o agreement_n with_o he_o 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 reprove_v we_o so_o as_o god_n seem_v too_o be_v utter_o angry_a with_o we_o that_o say_v i_o be_v a_o far_o great_a and_o dreadefull_a anguish_n than_o all_o the_o misery_n be_v that_o we_o can_v endure_v in_o our_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o prepare_v ourselves_o to_o such_o spiritual_a battle_n pray_v god_n too_o strengthen_v we_o for_o we_o see_v how_o all_o man_n strength_n fail_v in_o that_o behalf_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v quick_o overwhelm_v if_o we_o be_v not_o prop_v up_o from_o above_o and_o lift_v up_o by_o god_n when_o we_o be_v fall_v and_o set_v again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n when_o we_o be_v step_v out_o of_o it_o by_o the_o way_n when_o job_n say_v let_v he_o get_v he_o from_o i_o a_o while_n we_o see_v yet_o better_o how_o miserable_a the_o state_n of_o poor_a sinner_n be_v when_o they_o have_v this_o conceit_n that_o god_n pierce_v cute_v they_o and_o be_v against_o they_o for_o wherein_o lie_v all_o our_o welfare_n and_o all_o our_o joy_n but_o in_o that_o god_n be_v near_o at_o hand_n too_o we_o and_o in_o that_o we_o feel_v how_o his_o gracious_a favour_n be_v never_o separate_v from_o we_o but_o a_o clean_a contrary_n when_o 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 ve●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 god_n that_o whatsoever_o vengcance_n we_o have_v deserve_v for_o our_o sin_n yet_o we_o may_v not_o forget_v this_o grace_n which_o he_o offer_v we_o namely_o that_o we_o shall_v always_o have_v recourse_n to_o his_o goodness_n and_o that_o although_o he_o have_v good_a right_a to_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o 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 therefore_o let_v we_o bethink_v we_o to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o it_o that_o we_o quail_v not_o when_o god_n list_v too_o try_v we_o and_o too_o prove_v to_o the_o quick_a what_o our_o strength_n &_o constancy_n be_v

upon_o fortune_n that_o say_v i_o be_v the_o point_n whereat_o we_o ought_v to_o begin_v namely_o at_o the_o have_v of_o the_o full_a assuredness_n of_o god_n providence_n and_o then_o apply_v the_o

it_o be_v to_o none_o other_o end_n but_o to_o entangle_v themselves_o in_o such_o speculation_n as_o be_v so_o gross_a that_o it_o be_v pity_n to_o see_v they_o &_o they_o bring_v no_o edification_n at_o all_o they_o can_v well_o enough_o say_v god_n change_v &_o god_n remove_v but_o what_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v edify_v in_o his_o fear_n but_o the_o very_a truth_n be_v that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v too_o we_o of_o god_n providence_n the_o intent_n of_o it_o be_v that_o thereby_o we_o shall_v know_v his_o mighty_a power_n and_o in_o what_o wise_n know_v

he_o see_v he_o have_v all_o authority_n over_o we_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o scripture_n show_v we_o that_o god_n be_v wise_a in_o govern_v the_o world_n according_a as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o then_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o say_v god_n do_v what_o he_o list_v and_o we_o wot_v not_o whither_o it_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a but_o contrariwise_o we_o must_v confess_v that_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o do_v be_v well_o do_v and_o although_o we_o know_v not_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o yet_o must_v we_o honour_v his_o secret_a wisdom_n and_o in_o conclusion_n we_o must_v tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o show_v we_o wherefore_o he_o change_v and_o shift_v the_o state_n of_o the_o world_n in_o that_o sort_n and_o therewithal_o we_o must_v have_v our_o eye_n open_v when_o thing_n be_v manifest_a behold_v god_n bless_v a_o people_n and_o wherefore_o even_o for_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n sake_n we_o must_v not_o seek_v for_o any_o desert_n in_o man_n when_o god_n show_v they_o any_o favour_n so_o they_o when_o we_o see_v god_n spread_v out_o his_o goodness_n upon_o a_o people_n he_o be_v to_o be_v magnify_v for_o the_o same_o but_o if_o a_o people_n be_v outrageous_o give_v to_o evil_a and_o god_n visit_v they_o must_v we_o not_o also_o think_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n in_o that_o behalf_n like_o as_o in_o these_o day_n we_o see_v so_o great_a

acknowledge_v god_n too_o be_v a_o righteous_a judge_n and_o we_o may_v just_o condemn_v they_o that_o perish_v but_o have_v we_o once_o condemn_v they_o then_o must_v we_o streytwaye_v come_v too_o ourselves_o for_o the_o principal_a point_n be_v for_o we_o too_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o other_o man_n cost_n when_o god_n do_v we_o the_o pleasure_n to_o warn_v we_o aforehand_o to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v come_v home_o again_o you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n we_o may_v fare_v the_o better_a by_o god_n providence_n according_a as_o it_o be_v show_v we_o in_o this_o strain_n but_o it_o be_v say_v immediate_o that_o god_n bring_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_n yea_o even_o the_o darkness_n hat_n be_v as_o dark_a as_o death_n that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o be_v as_o the_o darkness_n of_o hell_n the_o same_o will_v he_o bring_v to_o light_v when_o he_o ly_v here_o job_n expresserh_n what_o his_o mean_a be_v namely_o to_o rehearse_v unto_o we_o those_o work_n of_o god_n which_o be_v most_o famous_a for_o if_o he_o shall_v speak_v of_o common_a and_o ordinary_a work_n we_o will_v be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o sleep_v and_o it_o will_v not_o touch_v we_o a_o whit_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v warn_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o our_o wit_n may_v be_v astonish_v at_o it_o yea_o and_o as_o we_o may_v be_v quicken_v up_o how_o lazy_a or_o dullminded_a so_o ever_o we_o be_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o job_n mean_v by_o say_v that_o god_n will_v bring_v the_o darkness_n of_o death_n unto_o light_n he_o may_v well_o have_v say_v god_n make_v his_o sun_n to_o shine_v every_o day_n we_o see_v how_o the_o night_n have_v his_o course_n &_o the_o day_n succeed_v lo_o here_o be_v a_o great_a and_o wonderful_a change_n job_n may_v have_v speak_v so_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o that_o be_v a_o ordinary_a thing_n among_o we_o we_o pass_v not_o of_o it_o therefore_o he_o intend_v to_o touch_v the_o extraordinary_a thing_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v god_n make_v such_o alteration_n as_o if_o hell_n be_v advance_v up_o aloft_o or_o as_o if_o death_n be_v set_v up_o on_o high_a for_o man_n to_o behold_v now_o when_o

that_o god_n give_v we_o from_o day_n to_o day_n yea_o and_o although_o he_o work_v such_o miracle_n as_o aught_o to_o move_v we_o thorough_o when_o we_o do_v but_o think_v upon_o they_o yet_o be_v

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

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

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

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

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

not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o that_o be_v otherwise_o true_a it_o be_v that_o although_o jesus_n christ_n be_v very_a man_n yet_o be_v he_o exempt_v from_o all_o our_o uncleanness_n but_o that_o be_v because_o he_o be_v concevy_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n ordain_v peculiarly_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v conceive_v by_o power_n from_o above_o and_o why_o to_o the_o

charge_v to_o have_v conclude_v that_o god_n do_v utter_o root_v out_o man_n when_o he_o take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n job_n i_o say_v make_v no_o such_o final_a conclusion_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v note_v that_o he_o be_v so_o dazzle_v with_o his_o passion_n that_o as_o they_o he_o remember_v not_o that_o man_n continue_v still_o in_o god_n after_o his_o death_n

these_o word_n certain_o job_n know_v well_o that_o god_n do_v man_n a_o singular_a good_a turn_n when_o he_o visit_v they_o and_o if_o a_o man_n have_v ask_v he_o why_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a

tree_n do_v which_o have_v some_o root_n in_o the_o earth_n but_o do_v rot_v away_o quite_o and_o clean_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v the_o good_a that_o god_n do_v we_o in_o that_o it_o please_v he_o too_o preserve_v our_o life_n after_o the_o common_a order_n of_o nature_n and_o also_o keep_v it_o hide_v aloft_o too_o be_v manifest_v again_o in_o time_n convenient_a therefore_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o too_o be_v a_o inestimable_a privilege_n but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o lesson_n let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o although_o man_n be_v immortal_a yet_o they_o have_v it_o not_o of_o their_o own_o strength_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n yield_v the_o title_n of_o immortality_n and_o everlastingness_n peculiar_o unto_o god_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o the_o angel_n then_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o man_n be_v they_o mortal_a as_o the_o brute_n beast_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o feel_v well_o how_o god_n breathe_v power_n into_o our_o soul_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v this_o spiritual_a life_n from_o else_o where_o and_o as_o it_o be_v do_v borrow_v it_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o for_o although_o our_o soul_n come_v not_o to_o nought_o ne_o rot_v away_o as_o our_o body_n do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o they_o be_v alienate_v from_o god_n they_o be_v in_o a_o far_o more_o horrible_a death_n than_o if_o they_o be_v utter_o return_v to_o nothing_o our_o state_n be_v better_a if_o we_o be_v utter_o foredo_v than_o to_o beeseparate_v from_o god_n and_o to_o feel_v he_o to_o be_v against_o we_o then_o must_v god_n be_v fain_o to_o give_v we_o another_o life_n which_o be_v that_o he_o knit_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o as_o he_o may_v live_v and_o reign_v in_o we_o if_o we_o have_v this_o once_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a benefit_n wherein_o we_o can_v joy_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n work_v after_o a_o strange_a fashion_n and_o unknown_a too_o man_n reason_n for_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o the_o state_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v during_o their_o life_n in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v not_o only_o set_v in_o like_a state_n with_o the_o unbeliever_n but_o be_v make_v much_o more_o poor_a and_o miserable_a for_o if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o child_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o be_v afflict_v so_o as_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o mankind_n as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n thus_o you_o see_v after_o what_o sort_n god_n suffer_v he_o to_o be_v deal_v withal_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o colossian_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v dead_a and_o that_o our_o life_n lie_v hide_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o god_n will_v show_v it_o in_o due_a time_n and_o by_o this_o we_o see_v

when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n he_o reprove_v man_n for_o their_o beastliness_n because_o they_o consider_v not_o how_o god_n do_v show_v we_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a

much_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o that_o which_o he_o say_v here_o now_o for_o when_o we_o see_v the_o tree_n which_o in_o winter_n time_n be_v dead_a or_o at_o leastwise_o seem_v dead_a become_v fresh_a and_o green_a again_o in_o the_o spring_n time_n we_o must_v be_v confirm_v in_o that_o which_o god_n declare_v unto_o we_o namely_o that_o although_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v and_o we_o be_v here_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n yet_o shall_v not_o that_o hinder_v we_o to_o lift_v up_o our_o head_n continual_o and_o look_v for_o the_o resurrection_n that_o he_o have_v

it_o shall_v please_v god_n
send_v we_o nowadays_o but_o too_o call_v we_o to_o repentance_n now_o if_o god_n shall_v tarry_v till_o we_o be_v dead_a the_o gate_n will_v be_v shut_v there_o will_v be_v no_o time_n of_o return_v 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

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

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

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

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

the_o wicked_a have_v great_a train_n and_o great_a and_o long_a tail_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o miss_v to_o be_v consume_v then_o shall_v you_o see_v far_o wicked_a man_n than_o

a_o man_n have_v gather_v brier_n and_o thorn_n and_o make_v a_o faggot_n of_o they_o they_o will_v be_v so_o snarl_a as_o he_o will_v be_v loath_a too_o put_v his_o hand_n to_o they_o and_o he_o

as_o god_n put_v fire_n to_o they_o then_o must_v they_o needs_o crack_v in_o piece_n and_o utter_o consume_v out_o of_o hand_n you_o see_v then_o what_o eliphas_n mean_v in_o say_v that_o the_o assembly_n of_o hypocrite_n shall_v perish_v for_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v draw_v a_o great_a train_n and_o band_n of_o man_n after_o he_o but_o it_o shall_v stand_v he_o in_o no_o stead_n too_o maintain_v he_o against_o god_n wrath_n this_o aught_o to_o assure_v we_o that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a man_n so_o furnish_v so_o ally_v and_o so_o guard_v yet_o

and_o to_o chew_v upon_o our_o bridle_n as_o we_o see_v many_o man_n do_v for_o that_o make_v man_n hard-hearted_a and_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o repentance_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v tender_a heart_a in_o this_o behalf_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n as_o soon_o as_o god_n tick_v we_o we_o must_v streitways_o awake_v to_o think_v upon_o he_o and_o not_o tarry_v till_o he_o draw_v out_o his_o sword_n at_o we_o and_o wound_v we_o nor_o till_o he_o let_v his_o arrow_n flee_v at_o we_o or_o thunder_v upon_o we_o what_o then_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o give_v we_o but_o one_o stripe_n with_o his_o rod_n although_o it_o be_v soft_o we_o must_v be_v quiet_a and_o very_o if_o we_o be_v wise_a and_o well_o advise_v we_o will_v not_o tarry_v till_o he_o shall_v strike_v so_o much_o as_o one_o stroke_n but_o we_o will_v be_v warn_v by_o his_o threaten_n and_o hie_v we_o apace_o to_o come_v home_o to_o he_o before_o he_o touch_v we_o you_o see_v then_o that_o it_o be_v expedient_a and_o profitable_a that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v feel_v god_n hand_n and_o not_o be_v hard_o against_o his_o stroke_n for_o if_o a_o horse_n be_v dull_a upon_o the_o spur_n will_v man_n like_o the_o better_a of_o he_o for_o that_o will_v man_n think_v it_o a_o good_a property_n in_o he_o no_o it_o be_v a_o vice_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o we_o though_o god_n strike_v we_o not_o with_o the_o sword_n but_o only_o show_v we_o the_o shadow_n of_o a_o rod_n yet_o must_v we_o be_v move_v but_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v therewithal_o be_v strong_a in_o such_o wise_a as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n nor_o so_o oversorowfull_a as_o our_o grief_n may_v not_o be_v assuage_v nor_o we_o have_v any_o feel_n of_o god_n gracious_a goodness_n for_o they_o that_o be_v so_o press_v can_v by_o any_o mean_n reclaim_v they_o self_n because_o that_o if_o we_o once_o take_v a_o conceit_n that_o god_n be_v our_o adversary_n and_o so_o have_v no_o trust_n at_o all_o in_o his_o goodness_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v come_v near_o he_o but_o we_o will_v rather_o flee_v from_o he_o &_o when_o we_o be_v once_o go_v away_o we_o will_v still_o labour_v to_o draw_v further_o &_o further_o from_o he_o therefore_o we_o must_v pluck_v up_o a_o good_a heart_n in_o our_o adversity_n that_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o god_n and_o not_o be_v afraid_a too_o return_v unto_o he_o trust_v that_o he_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o show_v we_o mercy_n if_o we_o seek_v it_o with_o a_o good_a pure_a and_o rightmeen_a mind_n you_o see_v then_o whereunto_o the_o word_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v do_v tend_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v too_o nice_a in_o our_o affliction_n but_o rather_o feel_v they_o be_v time_n that_o we_o may_v return_v unto_o god_n also_o if_o god_n have_v send_v we_o any_o adversity_n do_v double_a the_o same_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v gripe_v exceed_o both_o within_o and_o without_o yet_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v where_o job_n be_v and_o therefore_o that_o if_o he_o continue_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o flee_v still_o unto_o he_o for_o refuge_n it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o turn_v away_o from_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o whereas_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o god_n archer_n it_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a similitude_n for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n be_v always_o trouble_v when_o they_o come_v too_o the_o affliction_n of_o this_o present_a life_n for_o we_o can_v not_o father_n they_o upon_o god_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o we_o imagine_v always_o that_o they_o come_v by_o misfortune_n or_o else_o by_o mean_n of_o man_n to_o be_v short_a we_o judge_v disorderly_a and_o can_v not_o shape_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n for_o this_o cause_n the_o holy_a scripture_n beside_o that_o it_o tell_v we_o that_o life_n and_o death_n light_n and_o darkness_n good_a and_o evil_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n use_v also_o familiar_a comparison_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o matter_n may_v be_v express_v to_o we_o the_o better_a according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o god_n do_v set_v his_o archer_n in_o array_n against_o job._n speak_v he_o here_o of_o man_n no_o but_o of_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o job_n have_v to_o endure_v these_o misery_n be_v term_v god_n archer_n and_o why_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v learn_v that_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o he_o come_v well_o furnish_v as_o if_o a_o judge_n shall_v have_v his_o officer_n about_o he_o and_o come_v with_o a_o strong_a company_n too_o apprehend_v a_o malefactor_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n use_v all_o the_o adversity_n which_o we_o feel_v in_o this_o present_a life_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o to_o be_v misfortune_n when_o some_o endure_v sickness_n and_o some_o poverty_n like_a as_o the_o adversity_n of_o this_o world_n be_v

after_o that_o job_n have_v make_v protestation_n of_o his_o innocence_n as_o we_o have_v see_v he_o add_v that_o the_o same_o boot_v he_o not_o and_o that_o he_o see_v himself_o in_o manner_n

that_o god_n ought_v to_o handle_v man_n less_o rigorous_o see_v they_o do_v but_o pass_v away_o over_o the_o earth_n afterward_o he_o confirm_v this_o matter_n new_a again_o say_v that_o his_o

may_v have_v look_v high_a according_a as_o we_o know_v that_o even_o in_o the_o extremity_n of_o death_n the_o faithful_a must_v still_o hope_v for_o life_n &_o so_o comfort_v themselves_o in_o

in_o the_o end_n after_o he_o have_v fight_v a_o good_a while_n neither_o doubt_v he_o of_o the_o victory_n you_o see_v then_o that_o our_o own_o feebleness_n ought_v not_o too_o be_v any_o

first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v make_v he_o as_o it_o be_v a_o mockingstocke_n &_o that_o he_o be_v set_v to_o be_v a_o gazingstock_n and_o for_o man_n to_o make_v tale_n of_o for_o the_o second_o word_n which_o he_o use_v which_o i_o have_v translate_v gazingstocke_n signify_v a_o timbrel_n and_o mark_v here_o how_o some_o man_n have_v think_v that_o job_n mean_v to_o compare_v here_o his_o prosperity_n with_o his_o adversity_n so_o great_a and_o extreme_a as_o it_o be_v at_o that_o time_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v heretofore_o i_o have_v be_v in_o great_a

some_o translate_v it_o hell_n and_o whereas_o i_o have_v translate_v open_a it_o be_v before_o they_o or_o in_o their_o sight_n and_o so_o their_o opinion_n be_v that_o job_n mean_v too_o say_v that_o man_n have_v damn_v he_o as_o a_o wretched_a creature_n before_o the_o time_n but_o when_o all_o be_v well_o consider_v the_o plain_a meaning_n be_v that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v for_o it_o be_v but_o a_o repeat_n of_o one_o matter_n twice_o for_o the_o great_a confirmation_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o common_a custom_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o therefore_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o set_v down_o be_v that_o in_o asmuch_o as_o god_n have_v make_v he_o as_o a_o mirror_n of_o adversity_n if_o we_o shall_v esteem_v man_n in_o god_n favour_n or_o displeasure_n by_o the_o state_n of_o this_o present_a life_n we_o shall_v hold_v he_o for_o a_o forlorn_a person_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o take_v himself_o for_o none_o such_o howbeit_o that_o he_o be_v not_o utter_o without_o feel_v but_o what_o infirmity_n soever_o he_o have_v in_o he_o yet_o do_v he_o fight_v against_o they_o and_o be_v sure_a and_o full_o resolve_v that_o god_n

righteous_a shall_v be_v astonish_v at_o it_o but_o yet_o nevertheless_o the_o innocent_a shall_v lift_v up_o himself_o against_o the_o hypocrite_n &_o the_o righteous_a shall_v hold_v on_o their_o

when_o we_o see_v the_o adversity_n that_o god_n send_v too_o such_o as_o have_v serve_v he_o and_o walk_v in_o his_o fear_n with_o a_o pure_a conscience_n we_o think_v it_o strange_a and_o be_v abash_v at_o it_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n we_o see_v it_o run_v in_o our_o mind_n that_o if_o god_n do_v govern_v the_o world_n it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v spare_v good_a man_n and_o such_o as_o have_v endeavour_v to_o walk_v pure_o before_o he_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v handle_v they_o as_o a_o father_n do_v his_o child_n and_o if_o we_o see_v they_o afflict_v extreme_o at_o god_n hand_n we_o imagine_v either_o that_o he_o have_v turn_v his_o back_n &_o will_v not_o think_v upon_o earthly_a thing_n or_o else_o that_o he_o pass_v not_o how_o man_n live_v nor_o how_o they_o behave_v themselves_o this_o then_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o be_v oftentimes_o astonish_v at_o the_o adversity_n of_o righteous_a man_n when_o god_n seem_v to_o show_v himself_o their_o enemy_n and_o they_o see_v nothing_o but_o sign_n of_o cruelty_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n speak_v of_o astonishment_n howbeit_o he_o say_v that_o yet_o nevertheless_o the_o innocent_n shall_v advance_v themselves_o above_o the_o hypocrite_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o sore_o astonish_v but_o they_o shall_v make_v a_o good_a wind_a up_o and_o there_o be_v not_o a_o sentence_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v better_a than_o this_o why_o so_o for_o we_o know_v by_o experience_n how_o hard_o it_o be_v for_o man_n to_o judge_v aright_o of_o god_n do_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o we_o see_v present_o for_o as_o have_v be_v declare_v more_o full_o already_o god_n execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n after_o such_o sort_n in_o this_o world_n as_o that_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v well_o rule_v and_o nothing_o out_o of_o square_a but_o contrariwise_o thing_n be_v confound_v and_o if_o we_o see_v a_o wicked_a man_n punish_v a_o righteous_a man_n be_v punish_v much_o more_o and_o if_o we_o see_v a_o good_a man_n prosper_v a_o wicked_a man_n shall_v prosper_v
that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v have_v room_n long_o and_o large_a enough_o to_o sport_v in_o according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o they_o leap_v about_o to_o and_o fro_o and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v not_o that_o they_o walk_v always_o in_o streyt_v indeed_o we_o see_v it_o not_o but_o they_o themselves_o feel_v it_o much_o better_a than_o we_o can_v imagine_v again_o albeit_o that_o we_o see_v it_o not_o continual_o yet_o do_v god_n at_o length_n perform_v that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o even_o according_a as_o bildad_n utter_v it_o namely_o that_o fear_n shall_v dismay_v they_o but_o he_o

these_o two_o thing_n namely_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v amaze_v with_o fear_n and_o yet_o be_v merry_a and_o triumph_n can_v stand_v together_o for_o when_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n will_v be_v merry_a they_o overshoot_v themselves_o they_o forget_v themselves_o they_o become_v beast_n they_o believe_v they_o be_v able_a to_o work_v wonder_n and_o they_o think_v themselves_o the_o happy_a man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o they_o can_v anger_v god_n lo_o what_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o wicked_a sort_n be_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n a_o furious_a joy_n and_o a_o joy_n that_o so_o bereeve_v they_o of_o their_o wit_n and_o reason_n as_o it_o leave_v no_o modesty_n at_o all_o in_o they_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n do_v now_o and_o then_o call_v they_o to_o

we_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o set_v forth_o this_o lesson_n that_o we_o may_v practice_v it_o too_o our_o profit_n it_o be_v in_o effect_n that_o although_o the_o wicked_a have_v the_o world_n at_o will_n that_o be_v not_o as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o their_o life_n be_v therefore_o happy_a and_o why_o what_o be_v the_o chief_a welfare_n of_o man_n to_o be_v sure_a that_o his_o conscience_n be_v quiet_a and_o at_o rest_n so_o as_o he_o may_v go_v on_o in_o true_a constancy_n through_o life_n and_o through_o death_n yea_o and_o even_o be_v merry_a but_o do_v that_o befall_v to_o the_o wicked_a no_o for_o although_o they_o strain_v themselves_o to_o set_v light_n by_o god_n and_o to_o be_v void_a of_o sadness_n yet_o be_v they_o fain_o to_o be_v sorry_a &_o out_o of_o quiet_a spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n hereby_o we_o see_v that_o their_o life_n be_v unhappy_a for_o all_o the_o good_n that_o they_o can_v have_v and_o so_o if_o we_o understand_v that_o god_n will_v be_v merciful_a to_o we_o although_o we_o be_v vex_v on_o all_o side_n yet_o be_v it_o a_o comfort_n to_o we_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o all_o our_o sorrow_n that_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n will_v end_v they_o to_o our_o profit_n and_o welfare_n &_o to_o the_o confusion_n of_o our_o enemy_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v pratice_v this_o lesson_n very_o it_o deserve_v to_o be_v discourse_v more_o at_o length_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v by_o god_n leave_n at_o the_o next_o lecture_n but_o as_o now_o the_o present_a time_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o go_v any_o further_o now_o

according_a as_o we_o know_v that_o the_o flesh_n alone_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v up_o a_o man_n unless_o he_o have_v rib_n which_o be_v of_o a_o hard_a substance_n wherein_o consist_v all_o the_o force_n of_o he_o then_o in_o effect_n we_o understand_v that_o god_n will_v so_o curse_v the_o wicked_a that_o although_o they_o seem_v strong_a and_o well_o furnish_v of_o all_o that_o belong_v to_o they_o yet_o shall_v not_o that_o keep_v they_o from_o brooze_v and_o break_v and_o that_o we_o may_v fare_v the_o better_a by_o this_o sentence_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v first_o that_o

that_o the_o abundance_n which_o we_o have_v be_v not_o able_a to_o sustain_v we_o what_o then_o nothing_o else_o but_o
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

shall_v he_o not_o be_v sustenance_v ever_o a_o whit_n the_o more_o for_o it_o to_o be_v short_a god_n show_v once_o in_o the_o manna_n how_o it_o be_v he_o only_o that_o sustain_v we_o by_o his_o

to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o it_o &_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o have_v neither_o strength_n nor_o sustenance_n but_o by_o the_o spread_a out_o of_o god_n goodness_n upon_o we_o which_o

upon_o that_o furthermore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a to_o be_v strong_a let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o last_v ever_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o

let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n do_v erewhiles_o for_o a_o time_n bereave_v the_o faithful_a of_o the_o benefit_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o to_o the_o intent_n they_o shall_v be_v provoke_v

for_o the_o offence_n that_o he_o have_v commit_v not_o that_o god_n find_v not_o enough_o in_o he_o wherefore_o to_o punish_v he_o but_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o because_o he_o have_v not_o that_o respect_n only_o but_o rather_o meent_n to_o try_v his_o patience_n but_o as_o for_o we_o if_o he_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o blissing_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o be_v not_o worthy_a too_o enjoy_v they_o or_o else_o it_o be_v a_o dash_n with_o the_o spur_n which_o he_o give_v we_o to_o make_v we_o pray_v unto_o he_o the_o

so_o as_o they_o shall_v not_o step_v one_o pace_n awry_o nor_o be_v encounter_v with_o any_o evil_n this_o be_v a_o goodly_a promise_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o will_v seem_v unto_o we_o

i_o therefore_o it_o behove_v i_o to_o pray_v he_o to_o vouchsafe_v to_o show_v the_o performance_n of_o the_o promise_n towards_o i_o thus_o be_v we_o by_o such_o mean_v stir_v up_o to_o call_v

thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o job_n add_v that_o god_n have_v bereave_v he_o of_o his_o glory_n and_o pluck_v the_o crown_n from_o his_o

there_o remain_v no_o piece_n of_o i_o but_o god_n seem_v too_o have_v stub_a i_o up_o quite_o and_o clean_o for_o although_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o root_v out_o of_o the_o world_n yet_o be_v his_o

before_o he_o all_o his_o good_n have_v be_v take_v away_o and_o destroy_v and_o his_o body_n be_v become_v a_o rot_a carcase_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o causeless_a that_o he_o say_v that_o god_n

although_o he_o take_v i_o out_o of_o the_o world_n thus_o you_o see_v yet_o another_o manner_n of_o behold_v god_n job_n then_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v see_v god_n in_o effect_n by_o be_v set_v

eye_n say_v he_o shall_v be_v fasten_v upon_o he_o and_o i_o will_v not_o look_v aside_o from_o he_o here_o we_o see_v what_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o faith_n namely_o to_o gather_v itself_o in_o such_o wise_n unto_o god_n as_o it_o wander_v not_o abroad_o nor_o be_v draw_v away_o as_o we_o common_o be_v i_o pray_v you_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o can_v repose_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n as_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v it_o be_v because_o we_o part_n god_n office_n and_o all_o his_o power_n into_o so_o many_o piece_n and_o gobbet_n as_o we_o leave_v he_o little_a or_o nothing_o we_o can_v well_o enough_o say_v it_o be_v god_n to_o who_o it_o belong_v too_o maintain_v we_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o trudge_v up_o and_o down_o and_o forward_a and_o backward_a too_o seek_v mean_n to_o live_v by_o not_o as_o give_v of_o god_n and_o proceed_n from_o he_o but_o we_o attribute_v the_o very_a power_n of_o god_n too_o the_o mean_n themselves_o whereby_o we_o make_v they_o as_o idol_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o can_v look_v upon_o god_n with_o a_o pure_a eye_n nor_o settle_v our_o trust_n and_o contentation_n in_o he_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o word_n that_o job_n use_v here_o which_o be_v that_o his_o eye_n shall_v behold_v god_n and_o none_o other_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o will_v hold_v i_o there_o i_o will_v not_o be_v fleeting_a as_o man_n be_v but_o i_o will_v put_v myself_o whole_o to_o my_o god_n and_o say_v it_o be_v thou_o lord_n yea_o it_o be_v thou_o only_o of_o who_o i_o hold_v my_o life_n and_o when_o i_o be_o go_v hence_o thou_o shall_v restore_v i_o again_o as_o thou_o haste_v promise_v and_o let_v we_o make_v this_o comparison_n between_o job_n and_o ourselves_o that_o if_o job_n have_v not_o have_v such_o assurance_n of_o god_n goodness_n nor_o so_o familiar_a teach_n by_o the_o hundred_o part_n as_o we_o have_v do_v notwithstanding_o say_v that_o he_o

that_o he_o may_v bring_v all_o their_o enterprise_n to_o a_o good_a end_n no._n there_o be_v nothing_o with_o they_o but_o pride_n and_o stateliness_n in_o somuch_o as_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v

their_o do_n too_o their_o end_n and_o mark_v the_o wicked_a yield_v not_o that_o honour_n unto_o god_n so_o then_o they_o consult_v they_o beat_v their_o brain_n as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v they_o make_v their_o discourse_n they_o conclude_v and_o they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o can_v go_v through_o with_o all_o thing_n and_o bring_v they_o too_o pass_v as_o they_o

his_o net_n this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o and_o why_o for_o god_n have_v diverse_a mean_n to_o persecute_v his_o enemy_n he_o be_v not_o as_o a_o earthly_a

see_v how_o he_o have_v encounter_v his_o enemy_n diverse_a time_n do_v he_o raise_v any_o great_a host_n of_o man_n when_o he_o punish_v pharaoh_n and_o all_o the_o egyptian_n no_o he_o send_v he_o worm_n and_o filthiness_n behold_v how_o god_n work_v when_o it_o please_v he_o again_o if_o he_o suffer_v the_o wicked_a too_o escape_v some_o harm_n it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o by_o their_o

shall_v wax_v wilful_a in_o their_o opinion_n according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v it_o come_v too_o pass_v for_o when_o the_o wicked_a escape_n some_o adversity_n unoverwhelm_v they_o do_v but_o shake_v their_o ear_n and_o they_o be_v quite_o dispatch_v as_o they_o surmise_n and_o thereupon_o they_o take_v great_a liberty_n afterward_o god_n then_o do_v now_o and_o then_o send_v but_o some_o small_a adversity_n to_o the_o wicked_a and_o pursue_v they_o not_o with_o any_o great_a rigour_n but_o let_v they_o go_v as_o if_o they_o be_v escape_v scotfree_a but_o what_o it_o be_v to_o double_a it_o anon_o after_o for_o in_o so_o much_o as_o they_o scoff_v at_o god_n patience_n and_o provoke_v his_o anger_n more_o and_o more_o he_o also_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o utter_v his_o roughness_n and_o to_o thunder_v upon_o they_o and_o whereas_o he_o have_v scarce_o give_v they_o a_o tick_n with_o a_o rod_n he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o draw_v out_o his_o sword_n against_o they_o and_o too_o take_v his_o bow_n and_o shoot_v at_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o mind_v this_o say_n well_o aforehand_o too_o the_o end_n that_o if_o our_o lord_n visit_v we_o we_o may_v not_o

deserve_v too_o be_v he_o may_v vouchsafe_v to_o take_v we_o to_o mercy_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o his_o threaten_n be_v repeat_v so_o often_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o it_o be_v not_o here_o only_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wicked_a man_n shall_v flee_v from_o the_o weapon_n of_o iron_n and_o meet_v with_o a_o bow_n of_o steel_n but_o we_o see_v how_o the_o lord_n himself_o speak_v it_o by_o his_o prophet_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v too_o small_a purpose_n for_o thou_o to_o hide_v thyself_o in_o thine_o house_n if_o thou_o go_v out_o into_o the_o field_n thou_o shall_v meet_v with_o wild_a beast_n when_o thou_o be_v escape_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o lion_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o bear_n that_o shall_v find_v thou_o well-enough_o hereby_o our_o lord_n show_v that_o he_o have_v all_o creature_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o can_v serve_v his_o own_o turn_n with_o they_o to_o persecute_v man_n so_o as_o we_o can_v make_v account_n to_o be_v discharge_v till_o we_o have_v find_v favour_n in_o his_o sight_n and_o that_o he_o have_v pity_n of_o we_o so_o then_o the_o only_a mean_a to_o be_v sure_a and_o safe_a be_v that_o god_n have_v receive_v we_o but_o if_o we_o flee_v aloof_o from_o he_o he_o have_v too_o long_a hand_n and_o when_o he_o have_v draw_v his_o sword_n he_o have_v a_o bow_n also_o that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o have_v so_o many_o sort_n of_o chastize_n and_o punishman_n as_o in_o the_o end_n we_o must_v needs_o fall_v unhappy_o except_o we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o as_o i_o have_v show_v already_o now_o like_a as_o god_n threaten_v sword_n bow_n wild_a beast_n and_o scorpion_n to_o such_o as_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o he_o and_o stout_o harden_v themselves_o against_o his_o hand_n so_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o show_v that_o he_o have_v way_n without_o number_n too_o save_o those_o that_o flee_v for_o refuge_n to_o his_o goodness_n and_o put_v their_o trust_n therein_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v environ_v with_o many_o misery_n and_o many_o death_n shall_v lie_v in_o wait_n for_o we_o but_o god_n also_o have_v diverse_a way_n to_o succour_n we_o yea_o which_o be_v to_o we_o incomprehensible_a therefore_o when_o we_o be_v unprovided_a of_o all_o mean_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v too_o we_o that_o we_o be_v undo_v let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o thus_o god_n have_v some_o issue_n of_o death_n which_o be_v know_v to_o himself_o and_o the_o same_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o because_o he_o intend_v to_o exercise_v our_o faith_n let_v we_o tarry_v till_o he_o discover_v his_o goodness_n and_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o make_v his_o countenance_n to_o shine_v upon_o we_o then_o shall_v we_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v in_o life_n even_o in_o the_o midd_n of_o death_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o threaten_n which_o god_n make_v to_o the_o wicked_a aught_o to_o make_v we_o too_o resort_v unto_o he_o and_o so_o shall_v we_o have_v full_a matter_n of_o gladness_n and_o rest_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v in_o many_o danger_n and_o that_o assoon_o as_o we_o be_v pass_v out_o of_o one_o another_o be_v at_o hand_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o we_o can_v never_o be_v deliver_v for_o like_a as_o god_n have_v sword_n to_o punish_v the_o wicked_a so_o have_v he_o infinite_a deliverance_n to_o succour_n his_o faithful_a one_o lo_o in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o verse_n and_o for_o a_o conclusion_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sword_n shall_v be_v draw_v and_o pierce_v through_o his_o gall_n and_o that_o fearfulness_n shall_v be_v upon_o he_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o sword_n shall_v be_v draw_v and_o pierce_v the_o wicked_a quite_o and_o clean_o through_o

god_n punishment_n shall_v sometime_o be_v sudden_a true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v not_o always_o so_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v not_o be_v make_v a_o general_a rule_n also_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whither_o god_n perform_v his_o judgement_n swift_o but_o yet_o do_v he_o give_v we_o some_o show_n of_o they_o even_o in_o this_o life_n too_o the_o end_n

of_o these_o they_o &_o other_o such_o like_v we_o may_v rejoice_v but_o when_o god_n shall_v chastise_v our_o neighbour_n and_o we_o know_v not_o yet_o whether_o he_o will_v have_v pity_n on_o they_o

god_n will_v go_v through_o with_o his_o ordinance_n or_o determination_n his_o say_n then_o be_v he_o will_v go_v through_o with_o my_o ordinary_a or_o else_o he_o will_v go_v through_o with_o my_o

and_o it_o shall_v not_o boot_n i_o to_o strive_v against_o it_o but_o sure_o we_o must_v not_o begin_v at_o that_o end_n but_o before_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n ordinance_n let_v we_o first_o

heretofore_o for_o that_o be_v too_o make_v he_o like_o a_o tyrant_n and_o that_o be_v a_o curse_a blasphemy_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n in_o dispose_v and_o order_v all_o thing_n use_v a_o sovereign_a rule_n where_o by_o all_o other_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n must_v be_v square_v out_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v not_o do_v as_o these_o vainglorious_a folk_n do_v which_o

a_o blasphemousnesse_n be_v that_o be_v not_o such_o man_n worse_o than_o devil_n they_o be_v most_o ignorant_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v most_o busy_a in_o seek_v god_n secret_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o do_v perchance_o bear_v the_o countenance_n of_o great_a clerk_n but_o in_o very_a deed_n they_o be_v stark_a beast_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v god_n to_o

to_o eternal_a life_n before_o the_o make_n of_o the_o world_n so_o then_o let_v we_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o such_o outrage_n and_o in_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o god_n do_n be_v rightful_a and_o good_a let_v we_o mark_v that_o his_o work_v shall_v oftentimes_o pass_v our_o understanding_n and_o yet_o that_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o encounter_v his_o will._n if_o god_n once_o do_v any_o

what_o do_v he_o but_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o glory_n for_o god_n will_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o reason_n and_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o righteousness_n therefore_o let_v we_o hold_v our_o

general_o the_o say_a justice_n and_o righteousness_n let_v we_o know_v also_o that_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a unto_o we_o as_o to_o join_v and_o knit_v his_o justice_n to_o our_o salvation_n like_a as_o he_o have_v match_v his_o mightiness_n with_o it_o also_o when_o we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o honour_v he_o but_o also_o to_o rest_v upon_o he_o that_o we_o may_v be_v invincible_a against_o all_o temptation_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n mighty_a power_n be_v infinite_a he_o can_v well_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v we_o in_o like_a case_n be_v it_o with_o his_o righteousness_n see_v then_o that_o there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o inseparable_a knot_n between_o god_n justice_n and_o our_o salvation_n let_v we_o begin_v at_o that_o point_n to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o say_v that_o god_n bring_v to_o pass_v what_o soever_o he_o list_v and_o that_o he_o will_v perform_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v determine_v of_o we_o we_o may_v also_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n amiss_o in_o it_o but_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v rule_v by_o wonderful_a justice_n and_o wisdom_n furthermore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v a_o brief_a and_o familiar_a exposition_n of_o this_o say_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n have_v foredetermine_v what_o he_o will_v have_v do_v both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o everlasting_a salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n &_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o present_a life_n as_o concern_v the_o first_o god_n choose_v we_o for_o his_o child_n before_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o whereunto_o have_v he_o a_o eye_n in_o choose_v of_o we_o but_o only_o to_o his_o own_o infinite_a mercy_n for_o we_o be_v of_o adam_n corrupt_a lump_n wherefore_o do_v he_o prefer_v we_o before_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o creature_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n by_o shol_v we_o out_o to_o make_v we_o more_o excellent_a than_o our_o fellow_n we_o deserve_v to_o be_v cast_v away_o and_o damn_v and_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v too_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o destruction_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o glorify_v god_n for_o that_o determination_n for_o somuch_o as_o it_o please_v he_o too_o choose_v we_o and_o too_o call_v we_o too_o salvation_n and_o to_o make_v we_o heir_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o this_o determination_n have_v be_v utter_v to_o we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o if_o we_o be_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o be_v sure_a of_o our_o adoption_n then_o need_v we_o not_o to_o seek_v the_o register_n for_o it_o a_o loft_n in_o heaven_n but_o let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o the_o assurance_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o of_o it_o for_o if_o a_o man_n that_o have_v but_o the_o copy_n of_o a_o authentic_a register_n do_v content_a himself_o with_o it_o ought_v not_o we_o when_o god_n have_v declare_v his_o purpose_n concern_v our_o salvation_n ought_v not_o we_o i_o say_v to_o rest_v upon_o it_o you_o see_v then_o in_o what_o wise_a it_o behove_v we_o to_o settle_v ourselves_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o our_o salvation_n be_v unalterable_a because_o god_n have_v make_v his_o decree_n of_o it_o which_o can_v be_v change_v and_o as_o concern_v his_o determination_n for_o this_o present_a life_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n guide_v all_o our_o step_n and_o nothing_o happen_v too_o we_o by_o

regard_v it_o do_v not_o man_n wilful_o harden_v their_o heart_n against_o god_n warning_n and_o may_v it_o not_o well_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n have_v bewitch_v we_o yes_o but_o there_o be_v yet_o more_o for_o beside_o such_o warning_n god_n show_v we_o by_o his_o word_n what_o our_o fault_n be_v and_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v they_o and_o draw_v we_o to_o himself_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o welter_v still_o in_o our_o own_o filth_n and_o to_o grow_v as_o it_o be_v senseless_a hereby_o therefore_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o lesson_n be_v very_o ill_o put_v

much_o as_o man_n labour_v to_o excuse_v and_o justify_v themselves_o in_o their_o evil_a do_n and_o yet_o can_v not_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v it_o stand_v every_o one_o of_o we_o in_o hand_n to_o

if_o a_o man_n have_v spend_v the_o night_n secret_o in_o whoredom_n if_o he_o have_v go_v a_o thieve_a if_o he_o have_v beguile_v his_o neighbour_n or_o if_o he_o have_v shut_v the_o door_n to_o he_o

which_o s._n paul_n give_v we_o which_o be_v that_o sith_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n to_o enlighten_v we_o we_o be_v no_o more_o the_o child_n of_o darkness_n but_o of_o light_n such_o as_o have_v not_o god_n word_n think_v they_o have_v make_v a_o fair_a hand_n if_o their_o sin_n be_v once_o bury_v and_o come_v no_o more_o too_o their_o remembrance_n but_o what_o god_n do_v so_o enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o doctrine_n that_o we_o have_v daylight_n in_o the_o night_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sun_n shall_v no_o more_o shine_v upon_o the_o church_n by_o day_n nor_o the_o moon_n by_o night_n but_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v the_o continual_a light_n of_o it_o true_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n continue_v always_o in_o his_o state_n but_o yet_o therewithal_o let_v a_o man_n lay_v himself_o in_o his_o bed_n or_o shut_v himself_o in_o his_o chamber_n or_o hide_v himself_o so_o close_o as_o no_o man_n may_v know_v what_o he_o say_v or_o what_o he_o do_v and_o yet_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v always_o shine_v upon_o he_o he_o can_v not_o quench_v the_o knowledge_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o and_o out_o of_o doubt_n although_o the_o scornful_a and_o heathenish_a sort_n labour_n to_o do_v it_o as_o we_o see_v how_o there_o be_v mad_a beast_n in_o these_o day_n which_o seek_v mthe_v but_o to_o abolish_v all_o religion_n yet_o will_v god_n have_v the_o say_a lamp_n of_o his_o word_n to_o burn_v always_o before_o they_o that_o they_o may_v perceive_v their_o own_o damnation_n by_o it_o then_o see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o gospel_n the_o brightness_n whereof_o we_o can_v not_o dim_a let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o and_o understand_v that_o when_o thief_n whoremaster_n and_o other_o evil_a doer_n seek_v covert_a they_o teach_v we_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o walk_v see_v that_o god_n be_v with_o we_o and_o we_o present_v with_o he_o and_o that_o he_o show_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v with_o open_a face_n either_o as_o our_o father_n or_o as_o our_o judge_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o dedicate_v our_o whole_a life_n unto_o he_o and_o whereas_o we_o see_v that_o such_o as_o will_v cover_v their_o evil_a do_n shun_v the_o light_n as_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o be_v glad_a when_o night_n come_v let_v we_o use_v the_o light_n that_o be_v give_v we_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o stray_v out_o of_o our_o way_n and_o from_o swerve_v aside_o special_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o and_o reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o the_o grace_n that_o god_n give_v we_o in_o make_v we_o to_o know_v our_o sin_n and_o wretchedness_n by_o mean_n of_o his_o gospel_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o like_o as_o the_o wicked_a do_v hate_v the_o light_n of_o the_o day_n and_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n that_o the_o sun_n be_v pluck_v out_o of_o the_o sky_n to_o the_o end_n that_o

certain_o be_v it_o but_o behold_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o world_n hate_v the_o gospel_n be_v because_o that_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v who_o so_o ever_o do_v evil_a hate_v the_o light_n now_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o that_o most_o man_n give_v themselves_o to_o all_o evil_a yea_o and_o oven_n they_o that_o be_v convict_v of_o their_o wilfulness_n cease_v not_o too_o harden_v themselves_o but_o will_v fain_o shut_v their_o eye_n to_o spite_n god_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o be_v it_o any_o wonder_n that_o man_n be_v loath_a to_o taste_v of_o the_o gospel_n or_o to_o bite_v of_o it_o but_o rather_o play_v the_o mad_a bedlam_n aught_v it_o to_o be_v think_v strange_a no_o for_o we_o see_v that_o thief_n murderer_n whoremonger_n and_o all_o other_o evil_a doer_n can_v well_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o have_v the_o sun_n darken_v and_o that_o it_o shall_v no_o more_o shine_v in_o the_o world_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v yet_o far_o great_a for_o that_o serve_v not_o to_o gyude_v our_o eye_n only_o and_o to_o show_v we_o the_o way_n outward_o but_o it_o enter_v even_o into_o our_o secret_a thought_n and_o must_v examine_v that_o which_o be_v hide_v in_o the_o very_a bottom_n of_o our_o heart_n so_o then_o you_o see_v why_o the_o wicked_a be_v loath_a to_o come_v to_o this_o doctrine_n or_o to_o frame_v themselves_o by_o any_o mean_n unto_o it_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o on_o our_o side_n deal_v clean_o contrariwise_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o therefore_o as_o touch_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n when_o god_n make_v his_o daisunne_n to_o shine_v let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v give_v himself_o to_o

of_o god_n word_n never_o go_v out_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o therefore_o both_o day_n and_o night_n let_v we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o light_n and_o let_v we_o awake_v and_o be_v

ourselves_o to_o die_v willing_o and_o go_v too_o rest_v ourselves_o in_o god_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o know_v the_o vice_n that_o hinder_v we_o and_o the_o remedy_n to_o redress_v they_o then_o

that_o we_o know_v to_o what_o end_n and_o intent_n we_o be_v put_v into_o this_o world_n for_o without_o that_o be_v we_o not_o as_o brute_n beast_n a_o ox_n know_v not_o wherefore_o god_n create_v

than_o you_o see_v the_o second_o point_n that_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n if_o we_o purpose_v too_o die_v willing_o and_o not_o to_o be_v pluck_v hence_o by_o violente_fw-la force_n of_o

why_o for_o god_n have_v imprint_v a_o feel_n in_o we_o that_o death_n be_v a_o curse_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o diffeat_n of_o nature_n and_o a_o change_n of_o god_n order_n from_o that_o which_o it_o be_v before_o man_n sin_v so_o then_o we_o can_v but_o shun_v death_n even_o because_o it_o be_v contrary_a too_o our_o flesh_n and_o the_o terror_n thereof_o dismay_v we_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o knowledge_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o forealleadge_v chapter_n say_v that_o we_o desire_v death_n not_o in_o respect_n of_o itself_o but_o because_o we_o know_v that_o as_o yet_o we_o be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v in_o transitory_a dwelling-place_n what_o be_v our_o body_n it_o be_v so_o corruptible_a a_o thing_n that_o the_o leaf_n of_o a_o

in_o this_o strain_n now_o herewithal_o let_v we_o understand_v what_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v that_o in_o all_o our_o adversity_n we_o be_v right_o happy_a and_o that_o all_o the_o curse_n which_o god_n send_v upon_o man_n for_o their_o sin_n be_v turn_v to_o our_o welfare_n by_o mean_n of_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o have_v our_o recourse_n unto_o he_o and_o why_o for_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o trouble_n he_o show_v himself_o our_o saviour_n and_o make_v we_o too_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n with_o we_o after_o that_o job_n have_v

unto_o god_n it_o be_v a_o confirmation_n of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o pray_v when_o we_o can_v none_o otherwise_o do_v but_o also_o that_o we_o must_v do_v it_o ordinary_o as_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o can_v pass_v one_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n without_o god_n help_n and_o sure_o the_o favour_n that_o we_o look_v for_o at_o his_o hand_n consist_v not_o only_o in_o deliver_v from_o death_n when_o we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o at_o the_o pit_n brim_n but_o also_o in_o preserve_v we_o and_o in_o turn_v away_o evil_a from_o we_o for_o we_o see_v that_o in_o this_o life_n we_o be_v continual_o besiege_v with_o a_o hundred_o death_n and_o the_o misery_n wheretoo_o we_o be_v subject_a be_v without_o number_n god_n therefore_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o guard_v we_o and_o to_o be_v our_o wall_n and_o bulwark_n according_a also_o as_o he_o say_v by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o he_o be_v our_o fortress_n and_o shield_n and_o so_o be_v he_o also_o name_v oftentimes_o in_o the_o psalm_n you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n not_o only_a when_o he_o touch_v we_o and_o smite_v as_o it_o be_v with_o hard_a stroke_n upon_o we_o but_o even_o when_o we_o be_v at_o our_o ease_n and_o rest_n &_o perceive_v no_o danger_n toward_o even_o then_o say_v i_o behove_v it_o we_o nevertheless_o to_o consider_v to_o how_o many_o misery_n our_o life_n be_v subject_a that_o be_v persuade_v that_o we_o can_v not_o escape_v they_o except_o god_n preserve_v we_o we_o may_v run_v unto_o he_o and_o say_v alas_o lord_n keep_v we_o thou_o under_o thy_o protection_n and_o by_o thy_o providence_n make_v we_o able_a too_o pass_v through_o so_o many_o death_n which_o hem_v we_o in_o round_o about_o and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v both_o evening_n &_o morning_n moreover_o we_o know_v without_o go_v any_o further_a what_o temptation_n assail_v we_o daily_o and_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n it_o must_v not_o only_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v preserve_v we_o from_o the_o danger_n wherein_o we_o be_v concern_v this_o present_a life_n but_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o satan_n temptation_n and_o not_o suffer_v we_o too_o fall_v into_o evil_n according_a as_o there_o be_v deadly_a downefalle_v whereinto_o we_o may_v tumble_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n if_o we_o be_v not_o hold_v up_o by_o his_o power_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o need_v the_o faithful_a have_v too_o be_v so_o defend_v and_o shield_v by_o god_n hand_n for_o when_o satan_n can_v overcome_v we_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o undermine_v we_o anew_o both_o before_o and_o behind_o and_o he_o assault_v as_o well_o at_o one_o side_n as_o on_o the_o other_o and_o as_o well_o above_o as_o beneath_o he_o have_v so_o many_o fiery_a and_o burn_a dart_n that_o he_o will_v wound_n we_o to_o the_o death_n be_v it_o not_o that_o god_n do_v defend_v and_o preserve_v we_o so_o then_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o pray_v only_o once_o a_o day_n or_o when_o the_o need_n itself_o constrain_v we_o but_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o do_v it_o continual_o and_o to_o make_v a_o ordinary_a exercise_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wicked_a pray_v not_o at_o all_o time_n unto_o god._n but_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o point_n more_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o for_o job_n intent_n be_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o whereas_o the_o wicked_a man_n do_v now_o and_o then_o make_v countenance_n to_o pray_v yet_o do_v he_o not_o continue_v in_o that_o mind_n he_o proceed_v not_o constant_o and_o after_o one_o continual_a rate_n and_o here_o you_o see_v wherein_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n differ_v from_o the_o prayer_n of_o god_n child_n for_o a_o hypocrite_n without_o examine_v of_o his_o own_o heart_n will_v well-enough_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o god_n child_n do_v to_o outward_a sight_n he_o will_v pray_v unto_o god_n yea_o and_o he_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v need_n to_o do_v so_o but_o if_o the_o least_o temptation_n in_o the_o world_n light_n upon_o he_o he_o fret_v with_o himself_o &_o meddle_v no_o more_o with_o call_v upon_o god_n but_o grunt_v against_o he_o and_o foam_v up_o such_o rage_n as_o he_o show_v well_o that_o he_o neither_o depend_v upon_o god_n before_o nor_o trust_v in_o he_o nor_o seek_v he_o with_o a_o rightmeen_a mind_n and_o that_o all_o be_v but_o counterfetnesse_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o
ought_v to_o stick_v unto_o he_o to_o be_v short_a they_o that_o rejoice_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n stick_v not_o to_o creature_n nor_o to_o any_o of_o all_o these_o corruptible_a thing_n but_o do_v know_v that_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o impute_v all_o thing_n to_o god_n fatherly_a goodness_n and_o to_o receive_v the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o they_o as_o a_o confirmation_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v merry_a or_o too_o rejoice_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n contrariwise_o how_o fare_v the_o unbeliever_n as_o i_o have_v show_v already_o they_o can_v so_o much_o as_o laugh_v or_o be_v merry_a but_o they_o must_v as_o it_o be_v separate_v themselves_o from_o god_n &_o turn_v their_o back_n

it_o behove_v up_o too_o father_n they_o upon_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n as_o how_o sometime_o he_o punish_v they_o that_o have_v abuse_v his_o grace_n and_o sometime_o he_o bear_v with_o they_o so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o perceive_v that_o he_o mind_v too_o punish_v they_o but_o yet_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o terrible_a account_n to_o make_v as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o notwithstanding_o if_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a fall_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n do_v not_o advance_v they_o without_o cause_n but_o that_o the_o same_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o their_o fall_n shall_v be_v the_o greevouser_n even_o to_o break_v their_o neck_n then_o after_o they_o have_v be_v hoist_v up_o aloft_o god_n must_v make_v they_o to_o fall_v after_o that_o fashion_n furthermore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o their_o burial_n be_v speak_v of_o here_o for_o although_o it_o be_v neither_o here_o nor_o there_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o salvation_n yet_o be_v there_o two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a do_v at_o their_o death_n defy_v god_n and_o nature_n and_o think_v too_o prolong_v their_o greatness_n and_o pompousness_n still_o in_o spite_n of_o nature_n when_o our_o lord_n convey_v they_o into_o rottenness_n yea_o even_o then_o do_v i_o say_v the_o worldly_a and_o fleshe_o man_n make_v much_o more_o bravery_n than_o in_o all_o their_o life_n afore_o for_o their_o sumptuous_a burial_n be_v too_o save_o their_o memorial_n from_o perish_v that_o man_n may_v speak_v of_o it_o for_o ever_o so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o the_o foolish_a curiosity_n which_o the_o worldling_n and_o unbeliever_n use_v in_o be_v bury_v with_o great_a pomp_n be_v to_o continue_v their_o pride_n in_o despite_n of_o god_n but_o god_n laugh_v such_o presumption_n to_o scorn_v for_o he_o disappoint_v their_o expectation_n in_o so_o much_o that_o whereas_o they_o purpose_v to_o be_v bury_v honourable_o diverse_a time_n he_o have_v give_v they_o a_o clean_a contrary_a burial_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o burial_n be_v bring_v in_o by_o god_n it_o be_v no_o invention_n of_o man_n without_o good_a ground_n but_o it_o be_v god_n ordinance_n to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v be_v a_o witness_n unto_o we_o of_o the_o resurrection_n &_o everlasting_a life_n when_o man_n be_v bury_v they_o be_v lay_v up_o in_o the_o earth_n as_o in_o a_o store_n house_n until_o they_o may_v be_v raise_v up_o again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o so_o our_o burial_n be_v unto_o we_o as_o a_o look_a glass_n of_o the_o resurrection_n therefore_o when_o the_o wicked_a be_v disappoint_v of_o burial_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o our_o lord_n utter_v his_o curse_n upon_o they_o after_o a_o visible_a manner_n yea_o even_o as_o well_o in_o death_n as_o in_o life_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o if_o the_o wicked_a be_v bury_v honourable_o we_o must_v not_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o nor_o think_v that_o god_n have_v forget_v himself_o or_o that_o he_o execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n in_o convenient_a time_n for_o we_o see_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v of_o the_o rich_fw-fr man_n namely_o that_o he_o be_v bury_v and_o what_o say_v it_o of_o lazarus_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o his_o burial_n in_o so_o much_o that_o it_o be_v not_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v eat_v with_o dog_n or_o whether_o he_o be_v cast_v abroad_o into_o the_o field_n the_o scripture_n speak_v not_o of_o it_o it_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o burial_n of_o the_o rich_fw-fr man_n contrariwise_o if_o god_n child_n happen_v sometime_o to_o lie_v unbury_v be_v it_o to_o be_v conclude_v therefore_o that_o they_o be_v accurse_v no_o like_v as_o when_o the_o wicked_a be_v bury_v it_o be_v not_o too_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v bless_v in_o their_o death_n but_o it_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o god_n execute_v not_o his_o temporal_a punishment_n after_o one_o equal_a rate_n in_o this_o world_n but_o reserve_v the_o chief_a to_o himself_o till_o the_o latter_a day_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v when_o we_o see_v good_a man_n burn_v and_o put_v to_o open_a shame_n and_o god_n child_n perish_v with_o the_o wicked_a yea_o as_o touch_v the_o body_n so_o as_o they_o be_v carry_v to_o the_o

it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v namely_o that_o they_o be_v such_o judgement_n as_o be_v hide_v and_o incomprehensible_a as_o yet_o and_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o tarry_v till_o our_o lord_n bring_v we_o to_o that_o day_n wherein_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v discover_v in_o the_o mean_a season_n let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o heaven_n shall_v serve_v for_o a_o tomb_n too_o such_o as_o be_v so_o martyr_v i_o mean_v too_o the_o innocent_n that_o be_v put_v to_o reproach_n by_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o persecuter_n and_o that_o if_o they_o have_v the_o honourable_a burial_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o benefit_n and_o privilege_n that_o god_n give_v they_o for_o can_v a_o man_n find_v a_o more_o

so_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o have_v we_o bury_v let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o same_o be_v as_o a_o record_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o if_o he_o bereeve_v the_o wicked_a of_o their_o burial_n

psalm_n say_v that_o he_o fall_v asleep_a since_o the_o time_n that_o god_n have_v settle_v he_o in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o make_v he_o to_o prosper_v and_o give_v he_o the_o upper_a hand_n of_o all_o

and_o that_o be_v because_o they_o rest_v upon_o god_n goodness_n and_o know_v well_o that_o he_o will_v never_o forget_v they_o you_o see_v then_o a_o rest_n which_o can_v never_o fail_v all_o the_o

may_v at_o time_n be_v scarce_o full_o out_o of_o doubt_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v toss_v with_o so_o great_a wave_n and_o storm_n as_o they_o shall_v not_o know_v where_o to_o become_v but_o shall_v be_v carry_v with_o such_o violence_n and_o toss_v and_o turmoil_v after_o such_o a_o fashion_n as_o their_o rest_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o trouble_n and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o first_o of_o all_o to_o be_v peaceable_a yea_o even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o our_o adversity_n â–ª_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o flee_v to_o our_o god_n &_o to_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n that_o his_o promise_v too_o be_v always_o with_o we_o be_v not_o vain_a therefore_o let_v we_o mind_n god_n promise_n that_o we_o may_v be_v arm_v with_o they_o on_o all_o side_n so_o as_o we_o may_v be_v quiet_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o adversity_n for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o safety_n for_o we_o but_o the_o hope_n of_o succour_n at_o god_n hand_n so_o long_o as_o we_o have_v that_o we_o can_v but_o fall_v upon_o our_o foot_n as_o the_o proverb_n say_v but_o assoon_o as_o we_o be_v turn_v away_o from_o god_n and_o can_v believe_v that_o he_o will_v help_v we_o and_o have_v a_o fatherly_a care_n of_o our_o welfare_n we_o be_v utter_o dismay_v and_o so_o amaze_v as_o we_o know_v no_o mean_n in_o the_o world_n to_o quiet_v ourselves_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o settle_v ourselves_o in_o god_n promise_n if_o we_o will_v not_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o tremble_a and_o fearfulness_n in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o adversity_n furthermore_o if_o now_o and_o then_o we_o be_v so_o fore_o oppress_v as_o we_o know_v not_o where_o to_o become_v yet_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o resort_v to_o our_o god_n hope_v that_o he_o will_v chase_v away_o our_o darkness_n and_o not_o suffer_v we_o to_o continue_v always_o in_o such_o distress_n as_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o remedy_n nor_o assuagement_n of_o our_o sorrow_n now_o sith_o we_o see_v that_o the_o like_v happen_v unto_o job_n and_o also_o unto_o david_n who_o be_v two_o myriour_n of_o patience_n faith_n and_o hope_n let_v we_o not_o be_v too_o much_o discomfort_a when_o it_o seem_v too_o the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o flesh_n that_o we_o be_v utter_o overwhelm_v with_o adversity_n and_o seize_v with_o such_o fear_n as_o we_o be_v utter_o forlorn_a for_o sure_o god_n will_v work_v continual_o in_o his_o faithful_a one_o and_o although_o his_o work_n appear_v not_o to_o the_o eye_n yet_o shall_v they_o feel_v it_o and_o true_o although_o the_o faithful_a be_v in_o such_o anguish_n and_o fear_n as_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n for_o they_o in_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n yet_o shall_v they_o not_o quail_v but_o be_v succour_v by_o he_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perceive_v his_o succour_n by_o their_o natural_a reason_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o proceed_v in_o our_o heaviness_n and_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o practice_v this_o doctrine_n to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o it_o and_o when_o as_o job_n add_v that_o god_n have_v cast_v he_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o that_o he_o be_v become_v like_o dust_n and_o ash_n for_o he_o have_v erst_o say_v that_o his_o garment_n be_v change_v and_o cleave_a as_o it_o be_v to_o his_o skin_n thereby_o he_o show_v that_o he_o be_v utter_o

there_o reign_v nothing_o but_o death_n for_o by_o these_o word_n carth_z dust_n and_o ash_n he_o not_o only_o mean_v that_o his_o strength_n fail_v he_o but_o also_o that_o he_o be_v become_v as_o a_o dead_a coarse_a yea_o even_o as_o good_a as_o half_o rot_v job_n then_o show_v right_a well_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o token_n of_o life_n in_o this_o extreme_a affliction_n which_o he_o endure_v but_o rather_o that_o he_o be_v condemn_v yea_o even_o of_o all_o man_n wherein_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o our_o trust_n must_v not_o be_v tie_v too_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v see_v but_o that_o we_o must_v trust_v in_o god_n yea_o even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o death_n and_o that_o when_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v past_o recovery_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v take_v hold_v of_o the_o life_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v we_o and_o continual_o embrace_v it_o and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n power_n be_v not_o subject_a too_o any_o human_a or_o worldly_a mean_n but_o that_o he_o work_v after_o such_o a_o fashion_n as_o be_v incomprehensible_a and_o secret_a unto_o we_o lo_o here_o the_o two_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n which_o go_v joint_o one_o with_o another_o for_o why_o have_v we_o say_v that_o faith_n must_v not_o be_v enclose_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o see_v but_o because_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o power_n of_o god_n but_o this_o power_n be_v infinite_a and_o may_v not_o be_v compass_v or_o rule_v by_o worldly_a mean_n or_o by_o aught_o that_o can_v be_v see_v for_o god_n be_v able_a to_o work_v after_o such_o manner_n as_o be_v unknown_a to_o we_o see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o behove_v our_o faith_n also_o too_o be_v enlarge_v likewise_o and_o so_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o begin_v at_o the_o second_o point_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v that_o god_n power_n whereby_o he_o intend_v to_o work_v for_o our_o welfare_n be_v not_o bound_v within_o these_o low_a thing_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o must_v not_o say_v that_o god_n will_v do_v thus_o or_o thus_o because_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n be_v so_o or_o because_o we_o see_v some_o likelihood_n of_o it_o or_o because_o there_o be_v such_o a_o mean_a or_o help_v to_o compass_v it_o for_o that_o be_v to_o do_v he_o great_a wrong_n inasmuch_o as_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o he_o be_v infinite_a
therefore_o we_o must_v not_o enclose_v god_n mighty_a power_n within_o our_o imagination_n &_o understanding_n like_a as_o god_n goodness_n be_v endless_a and_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n so_o also_o be_v his_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o his_o power_n now_o if_o we_o will_v comprehend_v this_o mightiness_n and_o power_n i_o pray_v you_o be_v we_o able_a too_o enclose_v it_o in_o our_o brain_n it_o be_v impossible_a so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o save_v we_o he_o do_v it_o not_o after_o the_o common_a fashion_n but_o work_v by_o miracle_n towards_o we_o insomuch_o that_o he_o will_v raise_v we_o even_o from_o death_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o challenge_v the_o office_n of_o send_v man_n to_o the_o grave_n and_o of_o tall_n they_o back_o again_o also_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o the_o issue_n or_o outgoing_n of_o death_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o god_n when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o our_o god_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v taste_v the_o nearness_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v make_v they_o feel_v the_o thing_n by_o experience_n which_o be_v contain_v here_o namely_o that_o he_o have_v the_o issue_n of_o death_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o what_o be_v those_o issue_n it_o be_v that_o when_o death_n shall_v have_v reign_v over_o we_o and_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o overwhelm_v so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n of_o life_n our_o lord_n can_v well_o quicken_v we_o yea_o even_o after_o a_o wonderful_a fashion_n unknown_a unto_o we_o and_o which_o man_n can_v perceive_v until_o it_o be_v show_v by_o effect_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n also_o why_o ezechiell_n have_v this_o vision_n give_v he_o that_o when_o god_n utter_v his_o word_n the_o bone_n that_o be_v dry_a before_o and_o wherein_o there_o be_v no_o substance_n come_v together_o and_o the_o sinew_n do_v knit_v again_o and_o breath_n and_o liveliness_n come_v into_o they_o and_o so_o they_o become_v live_v man_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o inestimable_a power_n of_o our_o god_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o it_o come_v too_o the_o trust_n in_o he_o we_o must_v not_o fall_v to_o reason_n ▪_o have_v god_n any_o mean_n to_o do_v it_o be_v the_o thing_n likely_a or_o have_v we_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o to_o further_o he_o no_o no_o but_o god_n know_v how_o too_o deal_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o wait_v at_o his_o hand_n but_o now_o as_o i_o say_v it_o behove_v our_o say_v too_o be_v enlarge_v upon_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n and_o see_v that_o god_n mighty_a power_n be_v not_o to_o be_v measure_v nor_o to_o be_v enclose_v and_o make_v subject_n to_o worldly_a and_o natural_a mean_n our_o belief_n also_o must_v stretch_v out_o both_o high_a and_o low_a and_o become_v infinite_a very_o it_o will_v never_o be_v so_o perfect_a as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v we_o shall_v but_o only_o have_v some_o little_a piece_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o labour_v forward_o and_o although_o our_o belief_n be_v weak_a and_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o by_o measure_n yet_o must_v we_o always_o tend_v to_o that_o mark_n what_o mark_n even_o too_o rest_v ourselves_o on_o god_n and_o to_o wait_v for_o help_v at_o his_o hand_n and_o how_o shall_v we_o wait_v for_o it_o must_v we_o rest_v upon_o these_o earthly_a thing_n no_o no_o but_o every_o one_o of_o we_o must_v stir_v up_o himself_o and_o consider_v well_o lord_n thou_o be_v almightte_v therefore_o thou_o will_v save_v we_o by_o thy_o mighty_a power_n which_o be_v unknown_a to_o we_o as_o yet_o lo_o what_o be_v show_v we_o in_o this_o strain_v so_o then_o see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o such_o a_o proof_n of_o his_o mighty_a power_n in_o the_o person_n of_o job_n let_v the_o same_o confirm_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o the_o end_n after_o that_o job_n have_v speak_v of_o the_o

allege_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o thou_o may_v well_o seek_v to_o thy_o good_a god_n and_o return_v unto_o he_o &_o see_v he_o show_v himself_o so_o kindhearted_a and_o pitiful_a towards_o thou_o he_o will_v still_o be_v thy_o father_n and_o preserver_n you_o see_v they_o how_o this_o comparison_n ought_v to_o serve_v our_o turn_n and_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o master_n

that_o pass_v and_o vanish_v away_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v god_n too_o deliver_v we_o from_o our_o misery_n let_v we_o learn_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o allege_v that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v

and_o reason_n which_o we_o allege_v in_o our_o prayer_n be_v to_o our_o own_o use_n and_o profit_n then_o if_o a_o man_n allege_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o be_v a_o poor_a frail_a creature_n he_o

to_o the_o heart_n and_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o if_o we_o proceed_v to_o lie_v in_o wait_n and_o to_o watch_v to_o deceive_v other_o man_n wife_n so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o be_v vigilant_a in_o watch_v over_o our_o lust_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v stubborn_a let_v every_o of_o we_o bethink_v himself_o and_o hold_v himself_o in_o awe_n under_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n also_o let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o horrible_a threaten_n which_o god_n make_v against_o whoredom_n and_o be_v zealous_a to_o correct_v it_o when_o we_o see_v

our_o enterprise_n which_o be_v the_o pride_n that_o be_v in_o we_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o that_o man_n do_v leap_v after_o that_o sort_n and_o fling_v themselves_o in_o the_o air_n and_o

command_v and_o not_o challenge_v aught_o at_o all_o to_o our_o own_o strength_n and_o power_n you_o see_v then_o a_o lesson_n which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o remember_v early_o and_o late_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o but_o eliu_n express_v yet_o more_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n procure_v our_o welfare_n by_o the_o say_a mean_n of_o humble_v

therefore_o there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o draw_v they_o out_o of_o the_o ditch_n and_o
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 w●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

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

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

we_o seek_v rest_n we_o shall_v find_v none_o if_o god_n be_v our_o enemy_n that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o we_o take_v hold_v of_o his_o wrath_n for_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n be_v

that_o we_o may_v be_v sorry_a for_o our_o sin_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v so_o torment_v he_o be_v force_v to_o have_v war_n without_o end_n and_o if_o he_o

this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o sentence_n and_o if_o god_n give_v we_o any_o release_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o bear_v with_o our_o

notwithstanding_o he_o give_v we_o still_o some_o taste_n of_o his_o goodness_n with_o it_o that_o we_o may_v take_v breathe_v again_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o he_o have_v not_o grant_v this_o

they_o must_v needs_o mislike_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v desirable_a of_o their_o own_o nature_n yea_o and_o utter_o loath_a they_o and_o why_o ▪_o for_o they_o can_v take_v pleasure_n even_o to_o

that_o although_o we_o become_v like_a as_o dead_a man_n yethe_v will_v keep_v our_o life_n hide_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o very_o needful_a it_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v do_v so_o for_o although_o

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

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

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

which_o we_o feel_v so_o in_o ourselves_o lo_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o practice_v this_o sentence_n and_o furthermore_o it_o be_v show_v we_o also_o that_o when_o man_n have_v once_o begin_v to_o

thenceforth_o carry_v we_o away_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o become_v utter_o unrecoverable_a you_o see_v then_o that_o after_o man_n have_v once_o left_a to_o frame_v themselves_o whole_o to_o

let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v touch_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o conceive_v god_n too_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o

his_o own_o child_n what_o earthly_a father_n do_v so_o much_o for_o those_o that_o be_v descend_v of_o he_o then_o too_o know_v right_o what_o god_n be_v it_o behove_v we_o too_o taste_v of_o his_o

so_o taste_v god_n goodness_n it_o be_v too_o lead_v we_o further_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o we_o shall_v trust_v in_o he_o and_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v not_o put_v we_o into_o this_o

ground_v a_o right_n must_v in_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v of_o he_o and_o we_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v more_o precious_a to_o he_o

we_o see_v then_o that_o if_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n open_v too_o behold_v god_n providence_n and_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v set_v afore_o we_o the_o same_o will_v serve_v too_o

we_o our_o prayer_n shall_v not_o be_v unknown_a unto_o he_o but_o he_o will_v accept_v they_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v too_o put_v in_o ure_n and_o sure_o it_o will_v be_v our_o true_a wisdom_n if_o we_o can_v mind_v these_o thing_n and_o settle_v our_o thought_n upon_o they_o we_o shall_v fare_v the_o better_a all_o our_o life_n long_o but_o what_o we_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o wander_v in_o fond_a speculation_n and_o therefore_o we_o reap_v none_o other_o reward_n but_o our_o own_o vanity_n we_o see_v how_o man_n be_v entangle_v in_o these_o earthly_a thing_n and_o if_o a_o body_n speak_v too_o they_o of_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n they_o understand_v he_o not_o for_o sure_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o it_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o behove_v it_o we_o too_o take_v

he_o as_o our_o father_n and_o too_o flee_v too_o he_o for_o refuge_n see_v he_o show_v himself_o too_o be_v our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o have_v so_o good_a a_o gage_n of_o it_o in_o that_o he_o not_o only_o tell_v we_o it_o by_o his_o own_o mouth_n but_o also_o have_v his_o hand_n open_v too_o make_v we_o feel_v wherewith_o on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o learn_v too_o fear_n when_o we_o see_v he_o execute_v his_o judgement_n yea_o even_o by_o mean_n which_o sometime_o be_v for_o our_o welfare_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v there_o that_o god_n mind_v too_o subdue_v we_o too_o himself_o and_o too_o teach_v we_o too_o serve_v he_o and_o not_o too_o provoke_v his_o anger_n wilful_o but_o rather_o too_o come_v unto_o he_o with_o all_o reverence_n sith_o we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v arm_v with_o such_o power_n too_o revenge_v himself_o of_o the_o despiser_n of_o his_o majesty_n lest_o he_o pour_v out_o that_o great_a and_o terrible_a puissance_n upon_o we_o and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n peter_n bring_v we_o too_o these_o consideration_n namely_o that_o god_n do_v once_o destroy_v the_o world_n and_o wipe_v away_o all_o the_o inhabiter_n of_o the_o earth_n by_o water_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v the_o beginning_n thereof_o if_o a_o man_n demand_v whereof_o or_o of_o what_o stuff_n the_o world_n be_v make_v we_o see_v in_o the_o holy_a

and_o confuzednesse_n well_o then_o you_o see_v that_o such_o be_v the_o original_a beginning_n of_o the_o world_n and_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o destroy_v all_o mankind_n wherewith_o arm_v he_o himself_o he_o send_v a_o flood_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o water_n from_o whence_o we_o draw_v our_o life_n and_o which_o have_v be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n work_n of_o the_o whole_a

that_o whereas_o we_o be_v lighten_v by_o the_o sun_n whereas_o we_o draw_v breath_n from_o the_o air_n and_o whereas_o we_o be_v nourish_v and_o feed_v with_o bread_n it_o be_v not_o the_o creature_n themselves_o that_o do_v give_v or_o maintain_v our_o life_n and_o why_o for_o god_n will_v turn_v all_o into_o death_n when_o he_o list_v and_o the_o instrument_n of_o his_o goodness_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o deadly_a sword_n to_o destroy_v we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o when_o god_n send_v we_o either_o hail_n or_o noisome_a rain_n or_o sore_a frost_n his_o show_v of_o himself_o terrible_a in_o those_o thing_n be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v our_o sin_n and_o enter_v into_o ourselves_o beseech_v he_o of_o forgiveness_n for_o our_o offence_n past_a and_o

let_v it_o not_o stick_v in_o our_o mind_n for_o one_o day_n only_o but_o let_v it_o serve_v we_o too_o think_v upon_o ever_o after_o have_v god_n send_v we_o any_o drought_n or_o have_v he_o send_v we_o any_o rain_n we_o must_v bear_v it_o in_o remembrance_n and_o not_o look_v too_o have_v it_o begin_v again_o but_o bethink_v we_o thus_o go_v too_o during_o the_o time_n that_o i_o have_v live_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

meet_v that_o god_n shall_v let_v they_o live_v long_o and_o make_v they_o too_o profit_v in_o knowledge_n by_o long_a experience_n in_o the_o world_n lo_o why_o job_n live_v long_a time_n now_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 man_n and_o full_a satisfy_v with_o day_n it_o be_v to_o express_v the_o temporal_a blessing_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o but_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v neither_o job_n nor_o abraham_n nor_o such_o other_o like_o will_v ever_o have_v be_v satisfy_v with_o live_v in_o this_o world_n if_o they_o have_v not_o amed_z at_o a_o better_a and_o more_o excellent_a end_n you_o see_v they_o how_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v prolong_v their_o life_n to_o the_o end_n to_o give_v they_o the_o long_a experience_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o now_o so_o requisite_a for_o we_o which_o have_v a_o more_o large_a declaration_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n towards_o we_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o our_o life_n and_o too_o dispose_v ourselves_o to_o die_v when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v go_v hence_o with_o a_o glad_a heart_n &_o not_o with_o gnash_v of_o our_o tooth_n as_o the_o unbeliever_n do_v 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

to_o take_v knowledge_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n thereby_o for_o if_o you_o live_v but_o three_o day_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o give_v we_o a_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n &_o

god_n shall_v pursue_v he_o with_o such_o rigour_n &_o utter_v his_o force_n so_o against_o he_o and_o as_o we_o have_v see_v afore_o he_o declare_v that_o the_o life_n be_v not_o so_o short_a but_o it_o be_v much_o more_o miserable_a &_o man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o continual_a torment_n in_o it_o but_o now_o he_o add_v further_a that_o god_n have_v the_o life_n of_o man_n in_o his_o hand_n &_o have_v limit_v it_o a_o term_n which_o can_v be_v pass_v if_o a_o man_n live_v but_o for_o a_o few_o day_n and_o that_o god_n have_v not_o ordain_v it_o yet_o may_v a_o man_n say_v well_o god_n be_v displease_v and_o therefore_o he_o can_v abide_v that_o a_o little_a time_n shall_v pass_v without_o punish_v they_o that_o have_v do_v amiss_o but_o see_v he_o have_v foreordeyn_v that_o we_o shall_v live_v and_o all_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o determination_n and_o see_v he_o have_v point_a the_o last_o instant_n of_o our_o life_n and_o will_v have_v we_o to_o come_v to_o the_o same_o see_v it_o be_v so_o say_v job_n that_o he_o can_v endure_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v finish_v his_o course_n and_o come_v to_o his_o day_n end_n as_o do_v a_o hireling_n why_o do_v he_o not_o handle_v i_o more_o gentle_o and_o see_v we_o be_v so_o trouble_v with_o unquietness_n in_o this_o present_a life_n it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v like_o a_o labourer_n that_o be_v hire_v by_o the_o day_n look_v upon_o a_o labour_a man_n see_v he_o toil_v himself_o too_o earn_v a_o piece_n of_o money_n but_o when_o his_o day_n work_n be_v at_o a_o end_n he_o take_v his_o rest_n he_o have_v his_o wage_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o we_o all_o our_o life_n long_o because_o it_o be_v subject_n too_o so_o many_o misery_n we_o be_v in_o hope_n that_o when_o that_o be_v
paste_n we_o shall_v be_v quite_o discharge_v for_o if_o death_n be_v once_o come_v it_o be_v as_o we_o have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o our_o task_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v glad_a because_o we_o come_v too_o rest_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o job_n meaning_n be_v but_o heerewithall_o we_o must_v also_o bear_v continual_o in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v say_v namely_o that_o here_o he_o declare_v his_o own_o passion_n which_o we_o must_v not_o allow_v of_o for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n condemn_v they_o and_o wherefore_o be_v they_o write_v first_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v see_v that_o even_o the_o perfect_a sort_n although_o they_o be_v never_o so_o patient_a fail_v not_o too_o have_v great_a hardiness_n in_o fight_a against_o the_o passion_n of_o their_o flesh_n when_o god_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o job_n and_o such_o other_o like_o be_v make_v of_o steel_n or_o senseless_a folk_n although_o there_o be_v a_o singular_a stoutness_n in_o they_o &_o that_o they_o endeavour_v themselves_o to_o obey_v god_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o without_o touch_n of_o breast_n for_o they_o be_v fain_o too_o feel_v marvelous_a sting_n in_o their_o flesh_n and_o although_o they_o outstoode_v the_o temptation_n and_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o they_o yet_o have_v they_o storm_n and_o be_v toss_v too_o and_o fro_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n and_o this_o be_v tell_v we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v stand_v the_o more_o upon_o our_o guard_n and_o pray_v god_n too_o strengthen_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o although_o we_o have_v never_o so_o good_a a_o desire_n to_o honour_n he_o yet_o shall_v we_o be_v vanquish_v by_o and_o by_o be_v it_o not_o that_o he_o hold_v we_o up_o by_o his_o hand_n and_o give_v we_o strength_n from_o above_o to_o fight_v valiant_o with_o steadfastness_n beside_o this_o we_o be_v admonish_v also_o not_o to_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n though_o we_o seem_v at_o the_o point_n to_o quail_v nor_o to_o be_v discourage_v for_o all_o that_o for_o the_o excellent_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v have_v always_o be_v so_o effeeble_v for_o a_o time_n howbeit_o god_n have_v stand_v to_o they_o in_o such_o

to_o soothe_v ourselves_o in_o our_o own_o vice_n final_o let_v we_o consider_v to_o what_o use_n we_o ought_v to_o apply_v that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o god_n have_v bound_v the_o time_n of_o man_n life_n very_o well_o be_v it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v say_v he_o ought_v too_o leave_v we_o as_o he_o find_v we_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v get_v he_o away_o from_o we_o as_o job_n say_v yesterday_o that_o it_o seem_v unreasonable_a that_o god_n shall_v open_v his_o eye_n upon_o so_o wretched_a creature_n and_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o let_v man_n alone_o there_o because_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a too_o be_v match_v with_o he_o for_o what_o strength_n be_v there_o in_o they_o no._n but_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o a_o fair_a hand_n we_o shall_v make_v if_o god_n shall_v get_v he_o away_o from_o we_o i_o mean_v if_o he_o shall_v not_o guide_v we_o to_o redress_v we_o when_o we_o do_v amiss_o if_o we_o live_v but_o one_o day_n without_o god_n visitation_n we_o fall_v asleep_a in_o our_o sin_n &_o much_o more_o if_o he_o spare_v we_o a_o long_a time_n according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o when_o man_n be_v in_o prosperity_n they_o know_v not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n which_o be_v a_o judge_n over_o they_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o be_v hold_v under_o any_o yoke_n or_o to_o be_v bridle_v a_o man_n can_v by_o any_o mean_n bring_v they_o to_o reason_n see_v it_o be_v so_o how_o rebellious_a will_v we_o be_v if_o god_n shall_v let_v we_o alone_o all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n how_o will_v we_o play_v the_o horse_n that_o be_v break_v loose_a there_o will_v be_v no_o way_n to_o make_v we_o to_o know_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v return_v unto_o god_n therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o pray_v he_o too_o pity_v we_o and_o so_o to_o tame_v all_o the_o lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n as_o we_o may_v be_v teachable_a and_o obedient_a towards_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o it_o be_v a_o excessive_a passion_n in_o job_n too_o allege_v that_o it_o be_v meet_v and_o convenient_a for_o god_n to_o let_v man_n alone_o as_o they_o be_v because_o their_o life_n be_v short_a and_o brittle_a and_o because_o that_o he_o himself_o have_v assign_v it_o a_o determinate_a term_n again_o it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v watch_v over_o we_o and_o look_v narrow_o to_o we_o because_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o we_o to_o guide_v our_o own_o step_n and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o in_o his_o protection_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o for_o it_o be_v pitiful_a to_o see_v with_o how_o many_o death_n we_o be_v besiege_v have_v not_o god_n need_v then_o to_o have_v a_o fatherly_a care_n of_o our_o life_n so_o whereas_o job_n desire_v god_n to_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o he_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o draw_v near_o we_o and_o that_o in_o two_o sort_n the_o first_o be_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n to_o be_v in_o his_o custody_n to_o be_v maintain_v by_o he_o because_o we_o live_v not_o but_o in_o he_o nor_o be_v sustain_v but_o by_o his_o power_n it_o may_v please_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o presence_n and_o to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v newre_n at_o hand_n to_o we_o too_o aid_v we_o and_o succour_n we_o and_o furthermore_o which_o be_v the_o second_o point_n that_o it_o may_v also_o please_v he_o to_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n with_o we_o to_o chastise_v we_o when_o he_o see_v we_o too_o far_o out_o of_o square_a true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v he_o too_o use_v such_o gentleness_n towards_o we_o as_o we_o may_v not_o be_v press_v more_o than_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v but_o yet_o therewithal_o we_o have_v also_o to_o desire_v he_o to_o lift_v up_o his_o hand_n when_o he_o see_v that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o any_o correction_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v let_v we_o alone_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o rock_v we_o asleep_a and_o to_o make_v we_o very_a block_n thus_o much_o concern_v that_o point_n but_o above_o all_o we_o ought_v to_o weigh_v well_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n be_v determine_v by_o god_n that_o be_v have_v the_o account_n of_o our_o month_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o he_o have_v set_v a_o ordinance_n which_o can_v be_v pass_v hereupon_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o take_v great_a comfort_n for_o that_o our_o life_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n behold_v here_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n be_v so_o fearful_a as_o they_o dare_v not_o stir_v one_o finger_n but_o with_o tremble_v and_o it_o seem_v too_o they_o that_o this_o thing_n or_o that_o thing_n may_v befall_v they_o namely_o for_o that_o they_o know_v not_o that_o god_n have_v they_o in_o his_o keep_n and_o that_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o as_o well_o to_o take_v they_o out_o of_o this_o world_n as_o he_o have_v create_v they_o for_o be_v we_o thorough_o persuade_v of_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v go_v on_o our_o pace_n &_o not_o be_v so_o torment_v as_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o make_v account_v of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n have_v limit_v our_o day_n howbeit_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o must_v keep_v a_o mean_a in_o this_o behalf_n for_o although_o we_o ought_v to_o warrant_v ourselves_o see_n our_o life_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v rash_a to_o cast_v ourselves_o geerish_o into_o any_o danger_n but_o we_o must_v walk_v advise_o according_o as_o god_n command_v we_o there_o be_v some_o fantastical_a person_n who_o hear_v that_o the_o day_n of_o a_o man_n be_v number_v and_o that_o we_o can_v neither_o lengthen_v nor_o shorten_v our_o life_n because_o it_o be_v in_o god_n hand_n and_o at_o his_o good_a pleasure_n will_v by_o and_o by_o say_v very_o well_o then_o if_o i_o do_v all_o that_o come_v in_o my_o head_n it_o be_v all_o one_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v to_o be_v hang_v shall_v never_o
