know_v the_o temptation_n that_o may_v happen_v unto_o they_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v herein_o to_o hasty_a so_o that_o when_o we_o hear_v any_o mention_n make_v of_o the_o deliverance_n that_o god_n will_v send_v we_o in_o our_o adversity_n we_o begin_v by_o and_o by_o to_o reply_v yea_o but_o when_o shall_v it_o be_v we_o must_v not_o stay_v upon_o such_o fantasy_n but_o we_o must_v general_o learn_v to_o be_v patient_a in_o all_o thing_n lest_o we_o fall_v head_n long_o into_o flee_v fantasy_n and_o conceive_v in_o our_o mind_n thing_n that_o god_n will_v have_v yet_o to_o remain_v unknown_a of_o we_o let_v we_o then_o leave_v the_o judgement_n to_o he_o until_o he_o reveal_v it_o unto_o we_o and_o let_v we_o know_v perfect_o that_o he_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o we_o can_v present_o comprehend_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n show_v here_o that_o all_o go_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o that_o all_o be_v bring_v thither_o and_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v gather_v thus_o well_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o death_n all_o be_v like_a we_o put_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o godly_a and_o the_o wicked_a and_o as_o solomon_n say_v in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o preacher_n a_o live_a dog_n be_v better_a than_o a_o dead_a lion_n and_o the_o death_n of_o a_o man_n be_v like_o the_o death_n of_o a_o dog_n inasmuch_o as_o the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n shall_v rot_v as_o well_o as_o the_o carcase_n of_o a_o beast_n we_o see_v all_o these_o thing_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v not_o stay_v there_o let_v we_o then_o behold_v that_o which_o be_v show_v we_o in_o the_o mirror_n of_o god_n word_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a judgement_n which_o god_n reserve_v and_o will_v execute_v when_o he_o shall_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n thus_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o know_v temptation_n &_o when_o we_o have_v know_v they_o we_o must_v resist_v they_o &_o go_v forward_o &_o let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o say_v oh_o whosoever_o shall_v find_v prosperity_n in_o this_o world_n let_v he_o enjoy_v it_o for_o in_o death_n there_o be_v no_o hope_n but_o contrariwise_o we_o must_v say_v if_o we_o have_v adversity_n in_o this_o world_n let_v we_o know_v that_o a_o better_a hope_n be_v lay_v up_o for_o we_o and_o this_o be_v it_o whereunto_o god_n call_v we_o if_o we_o have_v prosperity_n in_o this_o world_n let_v we_o thank_v he_o for_o all_o but_o let_v we_o not_o put_v any_o confidence_n in_o it_o for_o prosperity_n may_v be_v take_v from_o we_o between_o this_o &_o to_o morrow_n special_o when_o we_o abuse_v the_o same_o thus_o i_o say_v must_v we_o weigh_v thing_n present_a and_o think_v with_o ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o judge_v of_o they_o according_a to_o man_n judgement_n all_o shall_v be_v do_v out_o of_o order_n and_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o faith_n may_v prevail_v in_o we_o and_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v guide_v we_o so_o as_o it_o may_v be_v as_o a_o candle_n to_o show_v we_o the_o way_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o world_n until_o we_o come_v to_o that_o heavenly_a brightness_n where_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o knowledge_n in_o part_n but_o all_o perfection_n at_o which_o time_n we_o shall_v behold_v god_n face_n to_o face_n now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n desire_v he_o to_o make_v we_o have_v a_o better_a feel_n of_o they_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v more_o and_o more_o touch_v with_o they_o so_o as_o we_o may_v be_v displease_v with_o they_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v enjoy_v the_o grace_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o

and_o more_o aspire_v too_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o heavenly_a riches_n to_o the_o which_o he_o call_v we_o where_o be_v rid_v of_o all_o our_o imperfection_n and_o infirmity_n of_o man_n we_o

charge_v our_o adversary_n with_o any_o thing_n or_o can_v find_v any_o thing_n too_o reprove_v in_o he_o we_o think_v we_o have_v half_o obtain_v our_o matter_n yea_o i_o say_v when_o we_o ourselves_o be_v in_o the_o fault_n and_o there_o need_v no_o other_o judge_n too_o condemn_v we_o but_o our_o own_o conscience_n if_o any_o man_n accuse_v i_o and_o i_o find_v myself_o culpable_a i_o seek_v if_o i_o can_v find_v any_o thing_n for_o i_o too_o snatch_v at_o in_o he_o and_o that_o will_v i_o allege_v for_o my_o own_o discharge_n and_o why_o so_o for_o i_o think_v that_o i_o shall_v so_o much_o the_o more_o divert_v and_o turn_v away_o the_o mind_n of_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v judge_n of_o my_o cause_n too_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o whole_o stay_v upon_o i_o and_o that_o the_o evil_n which_o i_o have_v commit_v may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v darken_v and_o wrap_v up_o the_o common_a practice_n therefore_o that_o we_o use_v one_o with_o another_o be_v that_o we_o seek_v some_o start_a hole_n &_o the_o same_o must_v serve_v we_o to_o shift_v off_o the_o matter_n as_o when_o we_o can_v say_v what_o i_o have_v do_v such_o a_o pleasure_n for_o a_o man_n and_o if_o i_o have_v afterward_o offend_v he_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o balance_n thus_o we_o will_v diminish_v the_o fault_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v or_o else_o we_o allege_v thus_o though_o i_o have_v offend_v in_o this_o behalf_n be_v this_o man_n altogether_o innocent_a now_o when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n and_o these_o thing_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o will_v use_v the_o same_o talk_n with_o god_n as_o we_o do_v with_o mortal_a man_n but_o we_o be_v deceive_v and_o why_o what_o be_v that_o we_o can_v charge_v he_o withal_o what_o can_v we_o find_v blame_v worthy_a in_o he_o what_o service_n can_v we_o allege_v that_o we_o have_v do_v he_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v behold_v or_o bind_v unto_o we_o for_o it_o our_o mouth_n must_v needs_o be_v stop_v in_o all_o this_o so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o do_v but_o to_o confess_v the_o debt_n and_o with_o all_o humility_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o condemnation_n to_o be_v just_a without_o make_v any_o reply_n or_o without_o attempt_v the_o law_n any_o further_a for_o we_o shall_v get_v nothing_o thereby_o and_o this_o be_v the_o argument_n that_o be_v here_o handle_v by_o eliphas_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o of_o this_o talk_n which_o he_o have_v may_v be_v gather_v a_o good_a lesson_n and_o he_o have_v speak_v very_o well_o if_o he_o have_v apply_v the_o same_o as_o he_o shall_v but_o he_o do_v not_o well_o in_o apply_v it_o unto_o job._n this_o be_v it_o wherein_o he_o be_v deceive_v yet_o be_v this_o doctrine_n in_o itself_o and_o general_o profitable_a for_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n do_v summon_v we_o before_o he_o and_o stir_v we_o up_o too_o acknowledge_v ou●e_a fault_n it_o boot_v not_o to_o seek_v any_o reply_n or_o to_o say_v if_o i_o have_v offend_v in_o this_o behalf_n god_n ought_v to_o pardon_v i_o for_o behold_v i_o have_v serve_v he_o in_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o he_o ought_v to_o acknowledge_v
which_o appear_v not_o present_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v which_o be_v a_o thing_n as_o needful_a as_o may_v be_v to_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v that_o although_o the_o godly_a be_v afflict_v yet_o cease_v they_o not_o to_o be_v happy_a inasmuch_o as_o they_o have_v recourse_n to_o god_n and_o bow_v down_o their_o neck_n to_o the_o bear_n of_o the_o yoke_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o and_o be_v sure_a that_o though_o god_n try_v their_o obedientness_n yet_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o love_v they_o when_o we_o be_v once_o persuade_v of_o this_o we_o have_v profit_v great_o for_o the_o whole_a time_n of_o our_o life_n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n let_v we_o look_v upon_o the_o infirmity_n that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v any_o temptation_n we_o be_v so_o abash_v and_o dismay_v as_o there_o be_v no_o comfort_v of_o we_o if_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a prosper_v and_o that_o god_n bear_v with_o they_o more_o than_o we_o will_v he_o shall_v there_o be_v nothing_o with_o we_o but_o grate_v of_o our_o tooth_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n for_o we_o but_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o deceive_v in_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o in_o serve_v he_o again_o if_o our_o state_n be_v not_o such_o as_o our_o flesh_n will_v wish_v it_o our_o courage_n quail_v yea_o and_o we_o fall_v too_o fret_v and_o chafe_v against_o god_n and_o final_o we_o be_v so_o cumber_v as_o we_o can_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n to_o resort_v unto_o god_n in_o the_o mid_n of_o all_o our_o misery_n nor_o assuage_v our_o sorrow_n in_o that_o we_o know_v that_o he_o will_v always_o be_v our_o saviour_n and_o father_n wherefore_o let_v we_o fight_v against_o our_o infirmity_n that_o we_o may_v be_v full_o resolve_v thereof_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o we_o see_v the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a let_v we_o not_o faint_a for_o it_o but_o let_v we_o always_o pluck_v up_o a_o good_a heart_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n do_v but_o fat_a they_o as_o a_o ox_n or_o a_o hog_n for_o when_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o kill_v a_o ox_n he_o will_v fat_v he_o and_o he_o will_v bestow_v more_o cost_n upon_o he_o when_o he_o prepare_v he_o to_o be_v draw_v to_o the_o slaughter-house_n than_o when_o he_o purpose_v to_o labour_v he_o in_o the_o plough_n the_o like_a will_v he_o do_v with_o a_o hog_n our_o lord_n then_o handle_v wicked_a man_n in_o this_o world_n as_o ox_n or_o swine_n he_o fat_v and_o pamper_v they_o till_o they_o burst_v again_o but_o it_o be_v to_o their_o destruction_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o abuse_v his_o goodness_n &_o patience_n they_o do_v but_o heap_v up_o the_o store_n of_o wrath_n whereof_o s._n paul_n speak_v by_o defile_v all_o the_o benefit_n which_o they_o receive_v at_o god_n hand_n during_o the_o time_n that_o he_o be_v so_o bountiful_a to_o they_o then_o see_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v so_o profitable_a unto_o we_o and_o that_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o be_v comprehend_v let_v we_o not_o think_v strange_a of_o the_o often_o repeat_v of_o it_o for_o we_o have_v need_v to_o record_v this_o lesson_n oft_o because_o we_o understand_v it_o not_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n yea_o and_o we_o have_v profit_v very_o well_o if_o of_o all_o our_o life_n long_o we_o have_v but_o begone_v well_o to_o conceive_v it_o and_o we_o forget_v it_o again_o by_o and_o by_o though_o it_o be_v daily_o rehearse_v unto_o we_o but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o job_n word_n what_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v heap_v up_o and_o god_n shall_v take_v away_o his_o soul_n by_o these_o word_n job_n signify_v that_o we_o must_v not_o enclose_v man_n happiness_n within_o his_o present_a life_n how_o then_o may_v we_o say_v that_o man_n be_v happy_a or_o unhappy_a we_o must_v not_o have_v our_o eye_n fasten_v upon_o this_o world_n for_o that_o be_v a_o very_a narrow_a bound_n but_o we_o must_v go_v to_o death_n for_o that_o be_v the_o point_n where_o our_o lord_n show_v we_o that_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o we_o to_o have_v live_v here_o in_o ease_n to_o have_v ho_o ord_v up_o much_o good_n too_o have_v be_v in_o honour_n and_o credit_n to_o have_v cram_v ourselves_o with_o quietness_n and_o to_o be_v short_a to_o have_v have_v all_o our_o wish_n here_o god_n i_o say_v show_v in_o death_n that_o all_o this_o gear_n be_v but_o as_o a_o flightful_a and_o vanish_v shadow_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v right_o of_o man_n state_n whether_o they_o be_v happy_a or_o unhappy_a let_v we_o not_o look_v only_o too_o their_o live_n here_o or_o how_o they_o be_v deal_v withal_o for_o a_o twenty_o thirty_o or_o fifty_o year_n but_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o when_o man_n pass_v hence_o god_n call_v they_o to_o he_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o ninetith_n psalm_n that_o god_n cause_v they_o to_o make_v but_o one_o turn_n as_o though_o they_o run_v in_o a_o ring_n and_o then_o come_v home_o too_o i_o you_o son_n of_o man_n say_v he_o mark_v what_o we_o have_v to_o conceive_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v

this_o world_n and_o that_o the_o state_n of_o man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v esteem_v thereby_o for_o that_o be_v to_o fond_a a_o judgement_n and_o job_n say_v express_o that_o although_o a_o wicked_a man_n have_v heap_v up_o never_o so_o much_o that_o be_v too_o say_v put_v the_o case_n that_o in_o this_o life_n a_o man_n have_v all_o that_o ever_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v wish_v yet_o must_v we_o not_o think_v he_o to_o be_v in_o the_o better_a case_n therefore_o and_o why_o for_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o he_o say_v job_n when_o god_n shall_v pluck_v away_o his_o soul_n the_o word_n pluck_v show_v that_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v always_o forcible_a yea_o true_o although_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o rot_a in_o this_o world_n so_o as_o god_n suffer_v they_o to_o live_v till_o very_a age_n consume_v they_o and_o they_o do_v but_o droop_v half_a a_o score_n year_n before_o they_o die_v &_o although_o they_o die_v exceed_o old_a and_o full_a of_o year_n yet_o be_v they_o pluck_v away_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n first_o because_o they_o can_v not_o yield_v themselves_o to_o god_n will_v and_o second_o because_o they_o never_o know_v to_o what_o end_n they_o be_v put_v into_o this_o world_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v call_v away_o again_o unto_o god_n and_o much_o less_o be_v they_o sure_a of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n &_o everlasting_a heritage_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o thus_o do_v all_o wicked_a man_n want_v three_o thing_n which_o be_v that_o they_o have_v not_o the_o skill_n to_o

final_a end_n of_o all_o thing_n thou_o speak_v here_o like_o a_o infidel_n that_o never_o know_v of_o god_n nor_o of_o god_n religion_n for_o god_n teach_v we_o that_o after_o death_n there_o be_v a_o better_a life_n than_o this_o and_o a_o everlasting_a heritage_n which_o he_o have_v prepare_v for_o those_o that_o be_v he_o and_o for_o those_o who_o he_o have_v choose_v and_o as_o for_o the_o

such_o thing_n yea_o even_o unfeigned_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o overshoot_v himself_o in_o the_o same_o thing_n also_o we_o see_v that_o all_o the_o matter_n consist_v not_o in_o know_v but_o we_o must_v persevere_v in_o the_o same_o knowledge_n to_o withstand_v temptation_n with_o it_o when_o they_o assail_v we_o for_o if_o we_o have_v read_v the_o holy_a

we_o beseech_v this_o good_a god_n that_o if_o at_o any_o time_n for_o to_o make_v we_o humble_a he_o suffer_v our_o own_o infirmity_n too_o over-rule_v we_o so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o such_o power_n

what_o we_o have_v to_o do_v but_o will_v we_o be_v assoil_v at_o god_n hand_n then_o must_v we_o first_o condemn_v the_o fault_n that_o we_o perceive_v in_o ourselves_o furthermore_o as_o touch_v the_o state_n of_o the_o second_o life_n the_o scripture_n show_v we_o as_o much_o as_o be_v expedient_a to_o be_v know_v in_o this_o behalf_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o when_o man_n be_v come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o race_n god_n draw_v they_o back_o from_o hence_o beneath_o for_o this_o life_n be_v liken_v too_o a_o course_n or_o a_o race_n therefore_o we_o have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o our_o race_n or_o journey_n at_o death_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o cease_v not_o either_o to_o be_v in_o pain_n or_o else_o to_o be_v in_o blissed_a joy_n after_o that_o our_o soul_n be_v part_v from_o our_o body_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n as_o touch_v the_o pain_n of_o this_o present_a life_n as_o the_o care_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v of_o

yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v gather_v up_o into_o joy_n true_a it_o be_v that_o as_o yet_o we_o have_v not_o the_o crown_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o and_o which_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o for_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v make_v full_a and_o perfect_a together_o and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o life_n lie_v hide_v in_o christ_n until_o the_o time_n of_o his_o c●mming_n but_o yet_o the_o faithful_a rest_v in_o abraham_n bosom_n be_v already_o so_o far_o forth_o partaker_n of_o the_o

saint_n paul_n say_v that_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v shut_v up_o within_o this_o mortal_a body_n we_o walk_v in_o hope_n without_o any_o behold_n or_o sight_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o for_o all_o those_o thing_n be_v hide_v from_o we_o but_o when_o we_o be_v part_v out_o of_o the_o world_n we_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o hope_v for_o and_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v erst_o hide_v from_o we_o be_v then_o show_v open_o unto_o we_o we_o see_v then_o how_o the_o faithful_a that_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o this_o world_n be_v in_o joy_n with_o god_n and_o do_v know_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v christ_n member_n they_o can_v not_o perish_v yea_o and_o that_o they_o know_v it_o much_o better_a and_o with_o a_o great_a power_n than_o they_o have_v do_v during_o this_o present_a life_n and_o as_o for_o the_o reprobate_n they_o be_v as_o condemn_v caitiff_n that_o wait_v but_o for_o the_o hour_n of_o execution_n and_o torment_n for_o they_o be_v sure_a already_o of_o condemnation_n and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v lock_v up_o in_o dark_a prison_n and_o bind_v as_o it_o be_v in_o chain_n until_o they_o come_v to_o the_o say_v final_a confusion_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o they_o against_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o the_o scripture_n do_v brief_o show_v we_o concern_v the_o state_n of_o the_o second_o life_n in_o wait_v for_o the_o last_o day_n but_o it_o be_v speak_v sober_o unto_o we_o because_o we_o be_v too_o much_o give_v too_o fond_a and_o

any_o vain_a and_o fond_a imagination_n to_o think_v that_o no_o adversity_n can_v touch_v we_o for_o if_o we_o think_v so_o god_n must_v wake_v we_o up_o in_o good_a earnest_n and_o show_v what_o

the_o faithful_a must_v al-always_a stand_v in_o doubt_n and_o that_o they_o must_v think_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o hold_v with_o the_o one_o hand_n shall_v be_v forthwith_o take_v away_o in_o the_o other_o hereupon_o we_o note_v that_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v more_o than_o god_n promise_v we_o for_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a and_o fond_a presumption_n when_o man_n behight_n

upon_o it_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o have_v any_o other_o leaningstock_n than_o his_o word_n which_o be_v the_o assure_a truth_n that_o can_v not_o lie_v therefore_o whensoever_o man_n presume_v upon_o themselves_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n and_o lease_n and_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n though_o they_o be_v disappoint_v of_o their_o purpose_n for_o our_o lord_n have_v good_a reason_n to_o mock_v they_o when_o they_o pass_v measure_n after_o that_o fashion_n and_o so_o must_v we_o hold_v this_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o our_o trust_n must_v be_v settle_v whole_o upon_o god_n promise_n and_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o god_n promise_v he_o say_v that_o if_o he_o have_v think_v upon_o we_o to_o day_n he_o will_v not_o forget_v we_o any_o more_o tomorrow_o but_o we_o shall_v be_v help_v by_o his_o hand_n all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n behold_v what_o his_o promise_n be_v then_o may_v we_o well_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n will_v always_o keep_v we_o and_o that_o by_o mean_n thereof_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o fall_v into_o decay_n but_o yet_o herewithal_o we_o must_v make_v our_o account_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o inconvenience_n for_o our_o lord_n say_v not_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v we_o shut_v up_o in_o a_o mew_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v no_o adversity_n

see_v the_o case_n stand_v so_o we_o perceive_v very_o well_o that_o we_o must_v not_o sleep_v when_o we_o be_v in_o prosperity_n as_o though_o this_o state_n of_o we_o be_v everlasting_a so_o as_o

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

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

to_o do_v yet_o fail_v we_o not_o to_o be_v move_v to_o have_v our_o flesh_n too_o show_v itself_o somewhat_o rebellious_a in_o we_o therefore_o we_o can_v come_v unto_o god_n too_o serve_v he_o but_o

to_o have_v god_n against_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v well_o enough_o feel_v the_o mischief_n when_o he_o persecute_v we_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o nor_o the_o chief_a thing_n

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

that_o be_v in_o it_o and_o here_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n wherein_o we_o differ_v from_o the_o unbeliever_n be_v that_o although_o both_o of_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o pass_v through_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

find_v at_o adventure_n but_o be_v a_o treasure_n which_o god_n reserve_v to_o those_o who_o he_o think_v good_a beside_o this_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o god_n in_o promise_a man_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n give_v charge_n and_o commission_n too_o the_o minister_n of_o his_o word_n to_o draw_v they_o from_o death_n according_a as_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v commit_v to_o those_o which_o preach_v the_o gospel_n too_o what_o end_n to_o forgive_v sin_n not_o of_o their_o own_o authority_n but_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n may_v be_v the_o better_o assure_v of_o their_o salvation_n and_o not_o doubt_v but_o god_n receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n therefore_o the_o minister_n tell_v they_o in_o his_o name_n that_o they_o be_v quit_v before_o his_o judgement_n seat_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n of_o a_o man_n when_o he_o send_v he_o a_o good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n and_o give_v his_o appoint_a minister_n the_o say_a charge_n and_o office_n of_o rescue_v and_o deliver_v the_o wretched_a creature_n that_o be_v in_o way_n of_o damnation_n how_o be_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v the_o better_a understand_v here_o be_v three_o point_n to_o be_v mark_v the_o one_o be_v that_o eliu_n show_v we_o the_o cause_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o perish_v that_o be_v one_o point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o office_n of_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o draw_v wretched_a soul_n out_o of_o death_n and_o to_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n and_o the_o three_o be_v that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o do_v but_o by_o express_a commission_n give_v of_o god_n according_a also_o as_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o a_o mortal_a man_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o so_o high_a a_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o our_o ability_n then_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n we_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bring_v we_o here_o to_o the_o wellspring_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o we_o obtain_v of_o god_n when_o he_o forgive_v we_o oursinne_n why_o be_v it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v able_a too_o be_v beforehand_o with_o he_o not_o for_o that_o we_o bring_v any_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o procure_v his_o favour_n towards_o we_o but_o because_o he_o look_v upon_o we_o with_o mercy_n to_o be_v short_a the_o holy_a ghost_n father_v the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n upon_o the_o only_a free_a goodness_n of_o god_n for_o we_o be_v so_o wretched_a as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o damnation_n in_o we_o behold_v it_o please_v god_n to_o succour_v we_o and_o he_o do_v it_o not_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o find_v in_o we_o save_v only_o infinite_a misery_n but_o of_o his_o own_o goodness_n which_o move_v he_o thereunto_o this_o then_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o obtain_v forgiveness_n at_o god_n hand_n we_o may_v not_o imagine_v to_o appease_v he_o with_o our_o own_o merit_n nor_o to_o be_v particauser_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o look_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n of_o we_o he_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o so_o eliu_n mean_v to_o advertise_v we_o that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v that_o goodness_n but_o that_o although_o he_o love_v we_o and_o be_v mind_v to_o provide_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o yet_o do_v he_o not_o always_o give_v we_o that_o feel_n but_o hide_v it_o utter_o from_o we_o as_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o turn_v his_o back_n to_o we_o or_o else_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v not_o too_o look_v upon_o we_o or_o else_o that_o his_o countenance_n be_v lour_a towards_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v it_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v now_o and_o then_o be_v dismay_v and_o seek_v god_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o find_v he_o not_o that_o he_o have_v forget_v they_o or_o reject_v they_o but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o as_o then_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o love_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o eliu_n say_v express_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o when_o he_o send_v we_o witness_v of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o word_n not_o that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o before_o but_o because_o we_o be_v then_o sure_a of_o it_o by_o experience_n and_o do_v as_o it_o be_v take_v possession_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o be_v unknown_a unto_o we_o for_o a_o time_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o office_n of_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o forgive_v sin_n and_o it_o be_v a_o notable_a point_n for_o without_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o forlese_v and_o past_a recovery_n there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a to_o give_v we_o hope_v of_o salvation_n than_o by_o assure_v we_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v afore_o god_n and_o we_o quite_o and_o clean_o discharge_v for_o as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o be_v the_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o so_o long_o as_o our_o sin_n be_v impute_v unto_o we_o god_n must_v needs_o hate_v we_o and_o what_o else_o be_v the_o be_v of_o god_n wrath_n upon_o we_o but_o a_o bottomless_a gulf_n of_o all_o cursedness_n again_o when_o we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o the_o gate_n of_o paradise_n be_v open_v unto_o we_o he_o acknowledge_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o the_o heritage_n of_o heaven_n be_v already_o prepare_v for_o we_o and_o how_o may_v that_o be_v obtain_v by_o have_v good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n too_o preach_v the_o gospel_n unto_o we_o for_o the_o end_n whereat_o god_n am_z be_v atonement_n or_o reconciliation_n with_o we_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v where_o he_o express_v that_o the_o property_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v a_o message_n of_o atonement_n between_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n who_o know_v no_o sin_n but_o be_v the_o unspotted_a lamb_n do_v put_v himself_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o that_o be_v too_o say_v after_o we_o be_v wash_v in_o his_o blood_n and_o have_v put_v ourselves_o under_o the_o
sacrifice_n which_o he_o have_v offer_v we_o be_v take_v and_o repute_v for_o righteous_a because_o the_o say_a sacrifice_n have_v the_o power_n to_o put_v away_o all_o fault_n and_o offence_n lo_o what_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o mark_v in_o this_o place_n therefore_o when_o so_o ever_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o come_v too_o a_o sermon_n when_o any_o promise_n of_o god_n goodness_n be_v set_v afore_o we_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o then_o god_n warrant_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o death_n wherein_o we_o be_v plunge_v and_o although_o we_o hear_v but_o a_o mortal_a man_n and_o that_o his_o voice_n be_v but_o a_o sound_n which_o disperse_v and_o vanish_v in_o the_o air_n yet_o must_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v work_v in_o such_o wise_a by_o his_o power_n that_o the_o say_a doctrine_n shall_v be_v sufficient_a too_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o damnation_n wherein_o we_o be_v and_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v pass_v out_o of_o the_o bond_n of_o satan_n and_o be_v set_v clear_a before_o god_n and_o this_o say_n namely_o what_o so_o ever_o you_o lose_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v lose_a also_o in_o heaven_n can_v fail_v we_o and_o so_o we_o see_v of_o what_o importance_n this_o word_n be_v where_o it_o be_v say_v deliver_v the_o sinner_n or_o set_v the_o sinner_n free_a for_o when_o god_n give_v express_v charge_n to_o such_o as_o speak_v unto_o we_o to_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o death_n that_o we_o may_v enter_v into_o paradise_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o his_o voice_n sound_v from_o heaven_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n saint_n james_n speak_v of_o private_a person_n say_v that_o he_o which_o warn_v his_o brother_n shall_v save_v a_o soul_n that_o be_v lose_v if_o this_o take_v place_n in_o all_o those_o that_o bring_v man_n into_o the_o good_a way_n when_o they_o be_v out_o of_o it_o what_o shall_v it_o do_v see_v we_o have_v the_o special_a zeal_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v to_o his_o word_n at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o same_o be_v preach_v to_o we_o by_o the_o shepherd_n of_o his_o church_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o their_o office_n be_v to_o release_v and_o forgive_v sin_n as_o i_o have_v allege_v already_o out_o of_o saint_n john_n and_o to_o bind_v and_o unbind_v as_o i_o have_v allege_v out_o of_o saint_n matthew_n to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v what_o the_o power_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v when_o we_o receive_v the_o promise_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n from_o heaven_n too_o pull_v we_o out_o of_o the_o dungeon_n of_o death_n and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v for_o the_o three_o point_n that_o this_o be_v not_o do_v but_o by_o god_n ordinance_n and_o it_o serve_v for_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o blasphemy_n of_o the_o pope_n for_o the_o pope_n uphold_v that_o he_o and_o his_o chaplain_n have_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o office_n of_o forgive_a but_o what_o commission_n can_v they_o show_v for_o it_o for_o they_o tie_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o shrift_n and_o where_o do_v god_n ever_o tell_v man_n that_o it_o behove_v man_n to_o shrive_v they_o of_o all_o their_o secret_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o a_o mortal_a man_n too_o obtain_v mercy_n god_n declare_v that_o if_o the_o sinner_n sigh_v for_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o he_o but_o behold_v a_o mortal_a creature_n presume_v to_o make_v a_o law_n and_o to_o shut_v man_n out_o of_o paradyse_n if_o they_o observe_v it_o not_o be_v not_o that_o a_o notorious_a usurp_n of_o god_n power_n beside_o this_o the_o pope_n have_v his_o bulle●_n indulgence_n pardon_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n too_o ground_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n upon_o and_o therewithal_o he_o mingle_v the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n as_o he_o that_o mean_v express_o too_o deface_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o have_v no_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o have_v nothing_o but_o toy_n ceremony_n sorcery_n great_a cross_n upon_o the_o back_n and_o such_o other_o trash_n which_o in_o conclusion_n be_v nothing_o but_o satan_n gewgaw_n but_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n without_o god_n message_n that_o be_v too_o say_v without_o preach_v and_o doctrine_n when_o the_o pope_n forgive_v sin_n he_o be_v dumb_a he_o bring_v not_o one_o jot_n of_o god_n word_n neither_o have_v he_o any_o thing_n but_o charm_n and_o sorcery_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o moreover_o he_o lay_v tyrannous_a law_n upon_o man_n neck_n to_o overthrow_v the_o mean_a which_o our_o lord_n have_v ordain_v again_o he_o abridge_v god_n himself_o of_o his_o liberty_n and_o there_o be_v no_o let_v in_o he_o to_o disappoint_v god_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o receive_v sinner_n to_o mercy_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v the_o devil_n synagogue_n destitute_a of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o consequent_o damn_v so_o long_o as_o it_o hold_v itself_o too_o the_o tradition_n of_o antechrist_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n we_o say_v that_o man_n sin_n be_v forgive_v they_o by_o receive_v the_o message_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o the_o same_o have_v not_o to_o do_v with_o the_o ceremony_n that_o man_n have_v devise_v nor_o with_o the_o law_n which_o they_o have_v invent_v at_o their_o own_o pleasure_n but_o only_o that_o we_o must_v follow_v the_o order_n and_o rule_v which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v establish_v who_o have_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o hand_n he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o mean_a whereby_o he_o will_v have_v it_o do_v which_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o with_o assure_a faith_n therefore_o if_o we_o stick_v to_o that_o simplicity_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o commission_n come_v from_o above_o and_o that_o man_n take_v not_o ne_o usurp_v not_o any_o thing_n upon_o they_o of_o their_o own_o brain_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o the_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v pity_v he_o and_o deliver_v he_o then_o must_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o come_v from_o above_o and_o none_o but_o god_n only_o must_v

we_o have_v see_v already_o heretofore_o that_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n be_v near_o to_o the_o grave_n and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o dead_a and_o consume_v so_o long_o as_o god_n

your_o redeemer_n seek_v to_o join_v you_o and_o knit_v you_o to_o god_n his_o father_n and_o therefore_o be_v you_o glad_a be_v you_o quiet_a and_o be_v you_o at_o rest_n in_o your_o conscience_n hereby_o we_o be_v admonish_v that_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o unquietness_n so_o long_o as_o we_o know_v not_o in_o what_o case_n we_o be_v with_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a will_v seek_v mean_n enough_o too_o make_v themselves_o merry_a and_o in_o good_a faith_n they_o ruffle_v it_o out_o as_o you_o see_v in_o despize_v god_n but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v yet_o do_v god_n send_v they_o such_o prick_n and_o torment_n of_o mind_n as_o they_o be_v sore_o distress_v and_o if_o they_o dance_v it_o be_v after_o the_o fashion_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o moses_n namely_o that_o yet_o nevertheless_o sin_n be_v at_o their_o door_n and_o there_o wait_v for_o they_o like_o a_o dog_n that_o wait_v for_o his_o master_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o wicked_a may_v ruffle_v it_o out_o but_o yet_o can_v they_o not_o go_v out_o of_o their_o door_n without_o gnaw_v of_o their_o conscience_n and_o god_n must_v still_o hold_v they_o at_o that_o bay_n therefore_o somuch_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o turn_v not_o our_o back_n unto_o god_n ne_o bury_v not_o our_o sin_n when_o we_o will_v have_v peace_n but_o that_o we_o always_o have_v some_o promise_n of_o god_n too_o comfort_v we_o and_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n allure_v we_o to_o salvation_n let_v we_o be_v glad_a of_o that_o for_o they_o shall_v our_o gladness_n be_v bless_v and_o if_o we_o have_v the_o taste_n that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n it_o will_v sanctify_v all_o our_o joy_n but_o without_o that_o we_o must_v needs_o quail_v and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n for_o we_o to_o rejoice_v mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o for_o the_o second_o we_o have_v also_o to_o mark_v that_o the_o only_a grace_n of_o god_n ought_v too_o suffice_v we_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n mingle_v with_o it_o according_a as_o god_n will_v excercise_n we_o for_o he_o will_v not_o send_v we_o full_a joy_n so_o as_o we_o may_v laugh_v with_o open_a mouth_n as_o they_o say_v yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v content_v with_o this_o certainty_n that_o we_o have_v he_o to_o our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v find_v mercy_n with_o he_o then_o if_o we_o have_v this_o privilege_n of_o ability_n too_o call_v upon_o our_o god_n and_o can_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o gate_n be_v open_a to_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v good_a access_n unto_o he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n i_o say_v if_o we_o can_v have_v that_o boldness_n not_o through_o our_o own_o rashness_n but_o for_o that_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o open_v his_o holy_a mouth_n too_o witness_v his_o love_n unto_o we_o which_o thing_n he_o do_v when_o his_o gospel_n be_v publish_v let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o must_v rest_v whole_o thereupon_o and_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n and_o encumbrance_n yea_o and_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o pass_v further_o and_o to_o surmount_v they_o all_o and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o our_o misery_n and_o tribulation_n see_v that_o god_n love_n be_v print_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n see_v that_o god_n vouchsafe_v too_o be_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n and_o have_v show_v the_o same_o not_o only_o by_o his_o word_n but_o also_o in_o very_a deed_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n who_o he_o have_v not_o spare_v but_o give_v too_o the_o death_n for_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v gather_v new_a strength_n and_o be_v restore_v again_o and_o that_o his_o flesh_n shall_v become_v as_o fresh_a as_o a_o young_a child_n for_o it_o serve_v to_o show_v that_o although_o we_o feel_v many_o misery_n in_o this_o world_n as_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o must_v have_v many_o adversity_n in_o pass_v through_o this_o transitory_a life_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o have_v a_o joy_n that_o shall_v overcome_v and_o get_v the_o victory_n of_o all_o thing_n if_o our_o lord_n comfort_v we_o in_o his_o

when_o he_o speak_v of_o this_o peace_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v the_o gladness_n which_o in_o give_v we_o through_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o further_o he_o say_v that_o the_o same_o peace_n pass_v all_o man_n understanding_n and_o afterward_o he_o add_v that_o the_o same_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n or_o victory_n in_o our_o heart_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o while_n we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n we_o shall_v have_v many_o trouble_n and_o grief_n yea_o and_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o death_n at_o every_o blow_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o say_a peace_n of_o

it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o four_o psalm_n that_o all_o the_o wealth_n of_o the_o world_n can_v make_v they_o so_o glad_a which_o be_v fleshly_a and_o desire_v these_o worldly_a thing_n make_v sport_n

his_o countenance_n too_o shine_v upon_o we_o our_o joy_n must_v needs_o surmount_v all_o the_o thing_n that_o the_o worldling_n be_v wont_v to_o desire_v now_o when_o eliu_n have_v speak_v so_o he_o add_v immediate_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v pray_v unto_o god_n and_o appease_v he_o or_o find_v he_o favourable_a behold_v here_o yet_o one_o point_n more_o which_o import_v very_o much_o for_o without_o this_o call_n upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n we_o know_v not_o right_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o joy_n
bethink_v we_o of_o the_o vice_n which_o be_v so_o deep_o root_v in_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o think_v not_o to_o escape_v god_n hand_n by_o our_o startinghole_n and_o after_o as_o we_o be_v drunken_a in_o our_o sin_n so_o also_o think_v we_o that_o god_n have_v his_o eye_n shut_v and_o blindfold_a or_o else_o that_o he_o have_v a_o curtain_n draw_v afore_o he_o so_o as_o he_o can_v perceive_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o hide_v howbeit_o on_o the_o other_o side_n and_o for_o the_o second_o point_n let_v we_o mark_v how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o our_o darkness_n shall_v be_v discover_v before_o he_o when_o bee_n list_v and_o thereupon_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n that_o we_o think_v not_o ourselves_o to_o have_v make_v the_o better_a market_n where_o man_n be_v not_o privy_a too_o our_o naughtiness_n for_o the_o very_a cause_n that_o send_v many_o too_o destruction_n be_v for_o that_o they_o go_v for_o good_a man_n or_o at_o leastwise_o can_v stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o such_o as_o be_v not_o privy_a to_o their_o wickedness_n for_o they_o they_o triumph_v and_o dare_v spite_n god_n himself_o but_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v gain_v nothing_o by_o our_o deceive_n of_o the_o world_n for_o how_o goodly_a show_v soever_o we_o have_v make_v in_o the_o end_n we_o must_v come_v before_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n who_o will_v open_v

thing_n in_o huckermucker_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v so_o often_o of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o in_o one_o place_n nor_o at_o one_o time_n only_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n before_o god_n but_o for_o what_o cause_n be_v this_o sentence_n so_o often_o repeat_v it_o be_v because_o we_o can_v be_v persuade_v of_o it_o for_o when_o we_o have_v eschew_v the_o shame_n of_o the_o world_n we_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n ought_v not_o too_o stir_v our_o filthiness_n nor_o too_o discover_v it_o but_o let_v we_o

that_o the_o holy_a ▪_o ghost_n do_v so_o often_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n will_v judge_v after_o another_o fashion_n than_o mortal_a man_n do_v now_o adays_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v purposely_o say_v here_o that_o the_o sinner_n shall_v not_o hide_v themselves_o there_o as_o if_o eliu_n shall_v say_v it_o come_v daily_o too_o pass_v that_o man_n eye_n be_v so_o dazzle_v as_o they_o take_v their_o vice_n for_o virtue_n yea_o and_o be_v so_o evil_o mind_v that_o it_o do_v they_o good_a to_o be_v flatter_v according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o when_o evil_a have_v full_a

and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o flood_n of_o iniquity_n that_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v turmoil_v among_o man_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o judgement_n nor_o discretion_n with_o they_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o must_v go_v far_o otherwise_o before_o god_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n above_o the_o world_n and_o by_o faith_n behold_v god_n judgement_n which_o as_o now_o be_v hide_v know_v that_o there_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v discover_v according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o daniel_n that_o the_o book_n shall_v be_v

must_v then_o be_v see_v both_o of_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o all_o creature_n let_v we_o bethink_v we_o of_o this_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v walk_v in_o a_o other_o manner_n of_o

no_o purpose_n too_o quit_v ourselves_o as_o now_o before_o man_n because_o we_o can_v thereby_o escape_v his_o hand_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o examine_v ourselves_o after_o that_o sort_n
