of_o punishment_n and_o whereas_o law_n do_v reform_v vice_n but_o good_a bring_v up_o do_v quite_o remove_v they_o it_o manifest_o appear_v of_o how_o much_o more_o importance_n this_o be_v to_o

&_o instruct_v their_o child_n they_o think_v it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o have_v a_o especial_a care_n hereof_o but_o let_v we_o now_o proceed_v and_o go_v forward_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o four_o cause_n why_o man_n differ_v the_o amendment_n of_o his_o life_n the_o four_o cause_n of_o differ_v the_o amendment_n of_o our_o life_n be_v wealth_n and_o prosperity_n which_o oftentimes_o make_v man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v drunken_a with_o prosperous_a fortune_n so_o secure_a that_o they_o very_o seldom_o remember_v god_n neigh_v she_o think_v of_o amend_v their_o sinful_a life_n whereupon_o one_o of_o the_o ancient_n say_v well_o of_o prosperity_n say_v he_o come_v riot_n &_o of_o riot_n as_o all_o vice_n so_o impiety_n towards_o god._n and_o seneca_n affirm_v that_o man_n mind_n be_v lull_v a_o sleep_n with_o overmuch_o felicity_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o continual_a drunkenness_n hereunto_o pertain_v that_o say_n of_o paul_n unto_o timothee_n where_o he_o bid_v he_o charge_v they_o that_o be_v rich_a in_o this_o world_n that_o they_o be_v not_o high_a mind_v and_o that_o they_o trust_v not_o in_o uncertain_a riches_n but_o in_o the_o live_a god_n that_o they_o do_v good_a and_o be_v rich_a in_o good_a work_n etc_n etc_n if_o that_o say_n of_o publius_n be_v true_a that_o fortune_n make_v he_o foolish_a who_o she_o over_o much_o favour_v it_o appear_v sure_o how_o great_a the_o security_n of_o man_n be_v in_o prosperity_n and_o when_o thing_n fall_v out_o according_a to_o their_o desire_n which_o security_n afterward_o bring_v forth_o all_o kind_n of_o wickedness_n for_o hereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o feel_v not_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o sin_n which_o in_o deed_n we_o ought_v to_o fear_v even_o every_o hour_n also_o that_o a_o certain_a senselessness_n and_o drowsiness_n possess_v man_n mind_n so_o that_o neither_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n punishment_n do_v reclaim_v they_o from_o sin_v neither_o do_v they_o scarce_o remember_v either_o death_n or_o the_o last_o judgement_n our_o saviour_n in_o the_o gospel_n accord_v to_o luke_n have_v in_o a_o goodly_a similitude_n set_v forth_o this_o security_n of_o man_n in_o prosperity_n where_o that_o rich_a man_n who_o ground_n have_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n plenteous_o think_v not_o of_o amend_v his_o life_n or_o repent_v for_o his_o sin_n neither_o of_o relieve_v and_o succour_v the_o poor_a but_o be_v careful_a of_o build_v his_o barn_n great_a and_o lay_v up_o his_o fruit_n think_v thus_o with_o himself_o i_o will_v gather_v all_o my_o fruit_n and_o good_n together_o and_o will_v say_v to_o my_o soul_n soul_n thou_o have_v much_o good_n lay_v up_o for_o many_o year_n live_v at_o ease_n eat_v drink_n and_o take_v thy_o pastime_n but_o in_o this_o security_n and_o as_o
to_o use_v many_o word_n as_o death_n find_v every_o man_n so_o be_v he_o judge_v of_o god._n how_o execrable_a then_o be_v that_o sluggishness_n of_o man_n who_o live_v with_o so_o secure_a a_o mind_n in_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n for_o if_o they_o be_v touch_v with_o any_o care_n of_o their_o salvation_n they_o will_v sure_o keep_v some_o measure_n in_o sin_v and_o think_v of_o the_o last_o

the_o gospel_n to_o be_v reconcile_v whoremonger_n and_o adulterer_n will_v remember_v that_o god_n will_v judge_v they_o as_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n say_v murderer_n sorcerer_n and_o all_o liar_n will_v never_o forget_v that_o lake_n which_o burn_v with_o fire_n &_o brimstone_n where_o john_n in_o his_o revelation_n write_v that_o their_o portion_n shall_v be_v covetous_a person_n drunkard_n railer_n will_v always_o have_v in_o memory_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_o as_o you_o apostle_n paul_n witness_v write_v to_o the_o corinthian_n and_o ephesian_n rich_a man_n will_v never_o suffer_v to_o slip_v our_o of_o their_o mind_n that_o our_o saviour_n say_v it_o be_v hear_v for_o they_o that_o trust_n in_o riches_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o

they_o neglect_v they_o who_o think_v they_o shall_v obtain_v pardon_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o bull_n and_o indulgence_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o trust_v in_o this_o persuasion_n drive_v of_o
