pleasure_n lo_o here_o wherein_o patience_n show_v itself_o but_o there_o be_v nothing_o better_a nor_o more_o behooveful_a than_o too_o look_v upon_o the_o glass_n that_o be_v set_v before_o we_o here_o we_o have_v see_v that_o job_n may_v have_v be_v overwhelm_v with_o the_o report_n of_o so_o many_o evil_a tiding_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o rise_v up_o and_o rend_v his_o clothes_n and_o poll_v his_o head_n and_o cast_v himself_o upon_o the_o ground_n to_o humble_v himself_o afore_o god_n here_o we_o see_v first_o of_o all_o that_o such_o as_o be_v patient_a be_v sure_a of_o some_o grief_n so_o as_o they_o feel_v great_a sorrow_n and_o anguish_n of_o heart_n for_o be_v we_o as_o a_o block_n of_o wood_n or_o as_o a_o stone_n it_o be_v no_o virtue_n at_o all_o in_o we_o be_v that_o man_n worthy_a too_o be_v praise_v which_o have_v no_o feel_n at_o all_o of_o his_o adversity_n we_o see_v sometime_o a_o poor_a madman_n laugh_v and_o scorn_v the_o whole_a world_n yea_o even_o when_o he_o be_v at_o death_n door_n but_o that_o be_v because_o he_o have_v no_o feel_n of_o his_o misery_n this_o therefore_o deserve_v not_o to_o be_v take_v and_o esteem_v for_o a_o virtue_n for_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o blockishness_n the_o brute_n beast_n have_v sometime_o no_o feel_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o patient_a for_o all_o that_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o this_o word_n patient_a or_o patientness_n betoken_v not_o that_o man_n shall_v become_v blockish_a so_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v no_o heaviness_n at_o all_o nor_o be_v cumber_v with_o any_o grief_n when_o they_o feel_v adversity_n but_o the_o virtue_n be_v when_o they_o can_v moderate_v themselves_o and_o hold_v such_o a_o measure_n as_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o their_o misery_n nor_o be_v so_o overcombr_v and_o swallow_v up_o with_o sorrow_n and_o anguish_n as_o to_o quail_v altogether_o but_o fight_v against_o their_o own_o passion_n until_o they_o may_v be_v able_a too_o frame_v themselves_o too_o the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n and_o too_o conclude_v as_o job_n do_v here_o and_o final_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a in_o all_o respect_n and_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o job_n rend_v his_o garment_n and_o shore_n his_o head_n for_o such_o fashion_n be_v customable_a in_o the_o east_n country_n according_a as_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v more_o ceremony_n in_o those_o country_n than_o be_v in_o these_o cold_a country_n where_o we_o dwell_v for_o when_o there_o happen_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v move_v man_n to_o great_a trouble_n they_o rend_v their_o garment_n in_o token_n of_o sorrow_n mark_v this_o for_o a_o special_a point_n and_o likewise_o in_o that_o country_n where_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o wear_v long_a head_n they_o poll_v themselves_o when_o they_o mourn_v like_v as_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n where_o man_n use_v to_o poll_v their_o head_n they_o let_v their_o hair_n grow_v when_o they_o make_v any_o sorrow_n therefore_o job_n rend_v of_o his_o garment_n and_o his_o poll_n of_o his_o head_n be_v token_n of_o the_o heaviness_n that_o he_o conceive_v here_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o upon_o any_o hypocrisy_n as_o oftentimes_o they_o that_o mean_v to_o counterfeit_v do_v disguise_n themselves_o too_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v think_v they_o too_o be_v in_o great_a heaviness_n when_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o laugh_v in_o their_o heart_n job_n use_v no_o such_o hypocrisy_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o then_o that_o when_o he_o tear_z his_o garment_n and_o shore_n his_o head_n he_o be_v full_a of_o extreme_a anguish_n and_o sorrow_n and_o that_o when_o he_o cast_v himself_o to_o the_o ground_n the_o same_o be_v another_o like_a record_n thereof_o but_o it_o seem_v that_o job_n give_v bridle_v too_o his_o heaviness_n which_o be_v a_o fault_n to_o be_v condemn_v for_o we_o know_v that_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v but_o too_o excessive_a and_o inordinate_a in_o their_o passion_n for_o though_o they_o restrain_v and_o repress_v themselves_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v yet_o cease_v they_o not_o to_o pass_v measure_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o hard_a than_o to_o moderate_v a_o man_n self_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v keep_v rule_n and_o compass_v we_o see_v that_o man_n can_v make_v merry_a except_o they_o be_v over_o merry_a sorrow_n and_o heaviness_n be_v a_o passion_n yet_o far_o more_o headdie_a carry_v man_n away_o with_o far_o great_a force_n than_o gladness_n do_v and_o therefore_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n as_o oftentimes_o and_o as_o long_o as_o god_n shall_v send_v we_o any_o adversity_n for_o it_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o overshoot_v ourselves_o most_o and_o here_o it_o be_v say_v that_o job_n rend_v his_o garment_n it_o seem_v he_o mean_v to_o prick_v himself_o forward_o to_o be_v more_o sorrowful_a than_o he_o be_v for_o the_o man_n that_o behold_v himself_o so_o deface_v be_v astonish_v at_o himself_o and_o afterward_o when_o he_o come_v to_o his_o ear_n a_o man_n may_v say_v he_o have_v as_o it_o be_v seek_v help_n to_o sharpen_v and_o increase_v his_o grief_n and_o that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o strike_v the_o spur_n into_o his_o own_o side_n and_o this_o as_o i_o have_v say_v may_v seem_v worthy_a to_o be_v condemn_v but_o first_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o scripture_n purpose_v here_o to_o express_v that_o the_o sorrow_n of_o this_o holy_a man_n be_v so_o great_a and_o so_o vehement_a as_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o stay_v himself_o from_o use_v the_o ordinary_a fashion_n yea_o even_o to_o the_o tear_v of_o his_o garment_n to_o show_v that_o he_o feel_v such_o anguish_n as_o have_v wound_v he_o even_o too_o the_o bottom_n of_o his_o heart_n this_o be_v it_o that_o the_o scripture_n mean_v to_o express_v but_o by_o the_o way_n although_o man_n ought_v to_o stand_v upon_o their_o guard_n that_o they_o be_v not_o swallow_v up_o of_o sorrow_n when_o they_o be_v afflict_v yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o god_n send_v we_o adversity_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o we_o shall_v think_v upon_o it_o for_o the_o common_a fashion_n of_o put_v away_o all_o grief_n be_v stark_o naught_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o man_n have_v fall_v into_o it_o insomuch_o that_o when_o they_o have_v mean_v to_o have_v patience_n they_o have_v quench_v the_o consideration_n of_o their_o missehaps_o thrust_v they_o far_o off_o and_o chase_v they_o quite_o away_o and_o to_o be_v short_a have_v labour_v to_o be_v so_o brutish_a as_o they_o may_v not_o know_v nor_o discern_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o but_o clean_o contrariwise_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o it_o be_v not_o to_o give_v we_o blow_n on_o the_o head_n with_o a_o beetle_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v astonish_v and_o cast_v in_o a_o swoon_z but_o his_o mind_n be_v to_o induce_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o our_o misery_n as_o how_o for_o beside_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o call_v our_o sin_n to_o remembrance_n and_o too_o crave_v pardon_n for_o they_o and_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o ware_a afterward_o to_o walk_v as_o it_o become_v we_o we_o be_v instruct_v also_o what_o our_o life_n be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o have_v a_o overlike_n of_o it_o nor_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o vanity_n or_o presumption_n as_o we_o be_v but_o rather_o acknowledge_v the_o bond_n which_o we_o stand_v bind_v in_o to_o our_o god_n for_o use_v we_o so_o gentle_o as_o to_o carry_v we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o lap_n and_o final_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o our_o life_n we_o shall_v look_v a_o great_a way_n afore_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v keep_v on_o our_o way_n still_o too_o the_o everlasting_a kingdom_n where_o as_o be_v our_o true_a joy_n and_o rest_n we_o see_v then_o that_o god_n cease_v not_o too_o be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o when_o he_o send_v any_o affliction_n unto_o we_o for_o he_o do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o try_v what_o be_v in_o we_o we_o also_o may_v know_v what_o our_o estate_n be_v moreover_o it_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a that_o the_o faithful_a when_o god_n afflict_v they_o shall_v enforce_v themselves_o to_o think_v who_o be_o i_o what_o be_o i_o and_o wherefore_o be_o i_o thus_o afflict_v i_o say_v it_o be_v meet_v for_o they_o to_o think_v upon_o all_o these_o thing_n for_o we_o see_v how_o job_n can_v rend_v his_o garment_n and_o shear_v his_o head_n without_o offend_v of_o god_n not_o that_o he_o intend_v thereby_o to_o cast_v
heaviness_n in_o he_o save_o only_o that_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o his_o sorrow_n be_v moderate_v as_o be_v convenient_a and_o be_v not_o wicked_a nor_o sinful_a of_o itself_o but_o all_o our_o passion_n be_v wicked_a because_o they_o be_v wrap_v in_o some_o sturdiness_n against_o god_n or_o in_o some_o distrust_v or_o in_o some_o other_o outrage_n of_o the_o flesh_n if_o god_n send_v we_o any_o good_a it_o be_v not_o evil_o do_v of_o we_o to_o be_v glad_a of_o it_o and_o special_o we_o can_v yield_v he_o thanks_n but_o we_o must_v have_v our_o heart_n at_o liberty_n too_o feel_v the_o good_a luck_n that_o he_o have_v send_v we_o but_o what_o man_n be_v always_o so_o full_a of_o vanity_n as_o they_o can_v never_o make_v themselves_o merry_a without_o offend_v of_o god_n as_o for_o example_n if_o god_n send_v they_o riches_n there_o go_v i_o wot_v not_o what_o a_o vainglory_n meddle_v with_o they_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o or_o at_o leastwise_o they_o call_v not_o upon_o god_n with_o such_o ferventness_n as_o they_o be_v wont_v to_o do_v but_o become_v very_o lazy_a and_o give_v themselves_o over_o too_o that_o which_o they_o have_v in_o hand_n too_o be_v short_a as_o fast_o as_o man_n purpose_v too_o make_v themselves_o merry_a or_o too_o be_v sad_a there_o will_v evermore_o be_v some_o excess_n and_o hard_o can_v they_o hold_v themselves_o from_o offend_v god_n because_o they_o have_v not_o such_o stay_n of_o themselves_o as_o be_v requisite_a but_o let_v themselves_o run_v at_o random_n and_o special_o if_o the_o adversity_n be_v great_a man_n shall_v very_o hardly_o escape_v too_o forget_v themselves_o and_o too_o be_v carry_v away_o according_a as_o it_o befall_v here_o unto_o job_n when_o he_o say_v he_o will_v fain_v that_o his_o byrthdaye_n be_v quite_o wipe_v out_o of_o the_o year_n but_o do_v he_o himself_o dispose_v the_o day_n of_o the_o year_n that_o he_o shall_v desire_v too_o change_v god_n ordinance_n when_o our_o lord_n show_v we_o the_o modesty_n which_o we_o ought_v too_o keep_v in_o make_v of_o oath_n he_o say_v you_o be_v not_o able_a too_o make_v one_o of_o the_o hear_v of_o your_o head_n white_a when_o it_o be_v black_a or_o black_a when_o it_o be_v white_a and_o how_o swear_v you_o then_o by_o your_o head_n but_o here_o job_n pass_v somewhat_o further_o for_o he_o will_v pluck_v the_o star_n out_o of_o the_o sky_n he_o will_v set_v the_o whole_a world_n on_o fire_n to_o burn_v up_o the_o earth_n and_o he_o will_v have_v the_o cloud_n and_o the_o wind_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o to_o mingle_v themselves_o together_o at_o his_o desire_n hereby_o we_o see_v that_o when_o man_n be_v much_o pinch_v with_o adversity_n they_o overshoot_v themselves_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o there_o remain_v no_o more_o modesty_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o in_o they_o but_o outrage_n sith_o we_o see_v this_o in_o job_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o stand_v the_o more_o upon_o our_o guard_n and_o to_o be_v well_o advise_v that_o our_o sorrow_n in_o our_o affliction_n be_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n be_v bliss_v in_o all_o that_o he_o do_v that_o we_o provoke_v he_o not_o to_o displeasnre_v no_o not_o even_o by_o unadvisedness_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o job_n mean_v not_o too_o displease_v god_n willing_o neither_o be_v it_o his_o intent_n too_o do_v against_o god_n mind_n but_o this_o befall_v he_o through_o unadvisedness_n for_o our_o passion_n be_v blind_a we_o have_v no_o wit_n too_o discern_v we_o wander_v without_o keep_v either_o way_n or_o path_n in_o so_o much_o then_o as_o we_o know_v our_o affection_n too_o be_v so_o outrageous_a we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o need_n too_o pray_v god_n too_o rule_v they_o for_o we_o but_o by_o the_o way_n if_o we_o compare_v job_n with_o those_o that_o blaspheme_v god_n with_o open_a mouth_n i_o pray_v you_o how_o worthy_a be_v such_o man_n too_o be_v condemn_v for_o job_n have_v serve_v god_n all_o the_o time_n of_o his_o life_n be_v nevertheless_o set_v here_o as_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o scaffold_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n too_o the_o end_n man_n may_v by_o he_o perceive_v their_o own_o wretchedness_n and_o humble_a themselves_o and_o understand_v that_o when_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n fail_v they_o they_o be_v in_o a_o forewardenesse_n too_o cast_v themselves_o into_o hell_n if_o they_o be_v not_o hold_v back_o see_v that_o god_n will_n be_v to_o exercise_n job_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o too_o set_v he_o out_o for_o a_o gaze_a stock_n and_o too_o make_v he_o serve_v for_o a_o example_n and_o learning_n unto_o other_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o those_o that_o blaspheme_v god_n yea_o even_o without_o cause_n for_o there_o be_v some_o that_o if_o any_o heart_n grief_n happen_v to_o they_o so_o as_o they_o be_v trouble_v or_o if_o a_o man_n do_v but_o stir_v their_o choler_n you_o shall_v see_v they_o tear_v god_n name_n a_o piece_n and_o they_o think_v that_o it_o ought_v too_o serve_v they_o for_o excuse_v if_o they_o can_v say_v why_o then_o do_v he_o chafe_v i_o if_o a_o man_n happen_v too_o do_v they_o a_o little_a displeasure_n or_o if_o a_o fly_v chance_n to_o cross_v before_o their_o eye_n jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o death_n and_o his_o blood_n and_o his_o flesh_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v shall_v be_v tear_v all_o too_o piece_n as_o who_o will_v say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v take_v man_n flesh_n upon_o he_o to_o be_v make_v a_o rail_a stock_n at_o those_o monster_n hand_n which_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o will_v take_v it_o for_o their_o excuse_n too_o say_v such_o a_o man_n do_v anger_v i_o thou_o suppose_v that_o thou_o bende_v thyself_o against_o man_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o thou_o bende_v thou_o against_o he_o that_o have_v grieve_v thou_o the_o case_n be_v so_o that_o god_n be_v offend_v by_o it_o but_o when_o they_o come_v too_o advance_v themselves_o in_o that_o wise_a against_o god_n seem_v they_o not_o monster_n contrary_a too_o nature_n therefore_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o so_o bridle_v our_o affection_n as_o god_n name_n be_v not_o blaspheme_v by_o we_o whereas_o it_o ought_v too_o be_v praise_v and_o bliss_v mark_v this_o for_o one_o special_a point_n furthermore_o we_o see_v that_o in_o blaspheme_v of_o god_n man_n have_v a_o certain_a natural_a rhetoric_n and_o be_v so_o cunning_a in_o the_o art_n as_o there_o be_v no_o lack_n in_o they_o god_n have_v give_v we_o speech_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v confess_v he_o too_o be_v good_a righteous_a and_o full_a of_o equity_n in_o all_o respect_n and_o caces_fw-la and_o too_o the_o end_n that_o in_o all_o our_o talk_n our_o endeavour_n shall_v be_v too_o speak_v of_o he_o with_o all_o reverence_n but_o when_o it_o come_v too_o the_o point_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v honour_v above_o all_o thing_n we_o speak_v so_o fayntlye_o of_o he_o that_o scarce_o can_v a_o man_n wring_v a_o little_a word_n out_o of_o we_o that_o shall_v be_v well_o set_v but_o if_o man_n will_v go_v too_o blaspheme_v than_o you_o shall_v see_v they_o as_o eloquent_a as_o may_v be_v devise_v and_o there_o be_v not_o the_o man_n that_o may_v not_o seem_v too_o have_v be_v at_o school_n too_o learn_v fine_a rhetoric_n even_o so_o be_v it_o here_o job_n do_v it_o not_o of_o set_a purpose_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o for_o he_o withhilde_n himself_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v able_a and_o he_o fight_v against_o the_o temptation_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v how_o his_o own_o nature_n carry_v he_o away_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o he_o can_v not_o hold_v himself_o from_o this_o kind_n of_o rhetoric_n which_o be_v too_o too_o flow_v for_o wheretoo_o else_o serve_v his_o set_n down_o of_o so_o many_o fashion_n of_o speech_n which_o he_o heap_v up_o as_o it_o be_v into_o a_o little_a

grace_n that_o all_o our_o word_n may_v tend_v too_o his_o honour_n and_o moreover_o that_o he_o will_v restrain_v we_o after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v take_v good_a heed_n that_o we_o speak_v not_o untoward_o and_o at_o adventure_n when_o occasion_n be_v give_v to_o talk_v of_o his_o judgement_n and_o of_o the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v do_v we_o and_o of_o the_o correction_n that_o he_o have_v send_v we_o and_o of_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o that_o we_o may_v
