world_n how_o too_o utter_a the_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v we_o nor_o his_o great_a goodness_n towards_o we_o better_o than_o by_o give_v we_o issue_n final_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o faithful_a 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 better_a that_o corn_n shall_v be_v lay_v into_o a_o berne_n than_o that_o it_o shall_v perish_v in_o the_o field_n for_o what_o be_v it_o too_o leave_v corn_n stand_v in_o the_o field_n after_o 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 tread_v into_o the_o dirt_n but_o if_o it_o be_v gather_v into_o the_o berne_z a_o man_n may_v apply_v it_o too_o good_a use_n so_o then_o eliphas_n promise_v that_o after_o that_o god_n have_v make_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 the_o sword_n how_o be_v it_o mean_v then_o that_o god_n will_v preserve_v his_o faithful_a one_o even_o till_o they_o be_v full_a ripe_a as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v gather_v corn_n into_o a_o berne_n 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 cease_v too_o love_n and_o favour_n they_o by_o suffer_v they_o too_o fall_v so_o into_o speedy_a death_n like_v as_o those_o that_o be_v persecute_v by_o tyrant_n have_v a_o most_o precious_a death_n 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 blood_n of_o martyr_n so_o then_o when_o we_o compare_v the_o less_o with_o the_o great_a we_o shall_v find_v that_o this_o promise_n of_o feel_v continual_o the_o say_a blessing_n of_o god_n in_o send_v they_o to_o their_o gra●e_n as_o corn_n that_o be_v gather_v in_o his_o due_a time_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a towards_o the_o faithful_a for_o how_o soever_o the_o world_n go_v he_o rypen_v they_o continual_o if_o a_o faithful_a man_n die_v at_o the_o age_n of_o thirty_o year_n what_o do_v he_o it_o seem_v not_o that_o he_o be_v great_o sorry_a for_o it_o he_o make_v no_o great_a struggle_n against_o it_o as_o we_o see_v the_o unbeliever_n do_v yea_o when_o they_o be_v even_o as_o stale_a as_o earth_n as_o the_o proverb_n say_v behold_v a_o despiser_n of_o god_n and_o a_o worldling_n which_o never_o think_v upon_o death_n and_o when_o it_o come_v too_o the_o point_n that_o god_n will_v pinch_n he_o in_o good_a earnest_n it_o will_v make_v he_o grind_v his_o tooth_n and_o fret_v with_o himself_o ween_v too_o withstand_v death_n and_o say_v can_v i_o not_o prolong_v my_o life_n one_o year_n long_o he_o take_v himself_o too_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o green_a wood_n that_o crackle_v on_o all_o side_n contrariwise_o when_o a_o faithful_a person_n die_v although_o he_o endure_v much_o yet_o he_o betake_v himself_o unto_o god_n and_o comfort_v himself_o in_o he_o and_o although_o there_o be_v strive_v see_v in_o his_o body_n yet_o have_v he_o his_o mind_n quiet_a and_o he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o too_o frame_v himself_o too_o god_n good_a will_n choose_v rather_o too_o die_v when_o god_n call_v he_o than_o too_o live_v here_o to_o be_v short_a he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o too_o obey_v his_o good_a heavenly_a father_n we_o see_v then_o how_o god_n do_v always_o rypen_v his_o servant_n before_o he_o call_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n so_o as_o they_o be_v full_o satisfy_v when_o they_o come_v too_o their_o grave_n and_o he_o that_o bring_v but_o twenty_o year_n too_o his_o grave_n be_v more_o ripe_a than_o another_o that_o shall_v bring_v as_o you_o will_v say_v a_o million_o of_o year_n with_o he_o according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o unbeliever_n do_v fret_v and_o chafe_v themselves_o against_o god_n when_o he_o call_v they_o so_o as_o they_o be_v never_o ripe_a nor_o old_a enough_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n bereave_v not_o his_o child_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o promise_v they_o in_o this_o text_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o how_o soever_o the_o world_n go_v they_o shall_v come_v to_o their_o grave_n like_o corn_n that_o be_v through_o ripe_a and_o meet_v to_o be_v apply_v to_o good_a use_n and_o therefore_o let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v content_v when_o god_n have_v give_v he_o the_o grace_n to_o live_v in_o this_o world_n see_v we_o have_v record_n in_o our_o conscience_n that_o we_o be_v very_o he_o and_o that_o he_o will_v draw_v we_o to_o himself_o and_o although_o it_o please_v he_o to_o keep_v we_o in_o this_o world_n for_o a_o time_n to_o exercise_v we_o with_o many_o affliction_n and_o misery_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o taste_v continual_o of_o his_o goodness_n which_o he_o make_v we_o too_o feel_v so_o many_o way_n and_o whereof_o we_o shall_v have_v full_a fruition_n after_o this_o present_a life_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v call_v we_o to_o the_o eternal_a rest_n which_o he_o have_v prepare_v for_o we_o and_o which_o be_v purchase_v for_o we_o by_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o too_o give_v we_o the_o grace_n that_o in_o walk_v through_o so_o many_o danger_n we_o may_v know_v how_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o that_o we_o have_v need_v too_o be_v so_o beat_v and_o chastise_v at_o his_o hand_n and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o too_o grant_v we_o the_o grace_n that_o the_o correction_n which_o he_o send_v we_o may_v not_o be_v unprofitable_a too_o we_o but_o that_o we_o may_v through_o they_o learn_v too_o fear_v his_o justice_n so_o as_o we_o may_v be_v the_o earnest_a too_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o our_o necessity_n and_o also_o that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o walk_v together_o in_o one_o right_a brotherhood_n and_o thereby_o show_v how_o we_o be_v right_o his_o child_n
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 death_n shall_v say_v that_o man_n go_v into_o a_o dark_a coast_n where_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o darkness_n and_o disorder_n and_o why_o so_o for_o he_o match_v sin_n and_o god_n curse_v together_o with_o death_n and_o so_o long_o as_o god_n hold_v he_o lock_v up_o in_o distress_n there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a heartburning_n so_o as_o he_o seek_v not_o the_o mean_a of_o grace_n which_o be_v the_o true_a remedy_n to_o show_v we_o that_o there_o be_v light_a even_o in_o death_n and_o some_o order_n also_o in_o darkness_n how_o dark_a soever_o it_o be_v because_o that_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 first_o feel_v what_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n environ_v we_o round_o about_o until_o such_o time_n as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n furthermore_o when_o jesus_n christ_n 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 be_v always_o incomber_v and_o have_v not_o their_o perfect_a joy_n so_o long_o as_o they_o dwell_v in_o our_o body_n and_o till_o that_o god_n take_v they_o up_o to_o himself_o for_o a_o do_v true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o think_v upon_o death_n alone_o by_o itself_o without_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o any_o high_a god_n may_v now_o and_o then_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o same_o point_n that_o he_o

nothing_o else_o in_o death_n but_o all_o confusion_n and_o disorder_n for_o when_o he_o look_v to_o his_o grave_n he_o see_v hell_n open_a to_o swallow_v he_o up_o and_o the_o have_v of_o such_o conceit_n grieve_v job_n much_o more_o than_o all_o the_o torment_n that_o he_o can_v endure_v in_o his_o body_n but_o like_a as_o god_n do_v pluck_v he_o out_o in_o the_o end_n and_o give_v he_o victory_n against_o such_o temptation_n so_o will_v he_o do_v to_o we_o likewise_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v warn_v hereby_o that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o walk_v wary_o pray_v our_o good_a god_n that_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o call_v we_o to_o account_v in_o

the_o victory_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v be_v for_o we_o see_v then_o that_o he_o have_v power_n over_o death_n let_v his_o resurrection_n always_o come_v before_o our_o eye_n and_o let_v we_o

although_o we_o have_v many_o adversity_n to_o suffer_v in_o this_o mortal_a life_n and_o that_o it_o please_v god_n to_o exercise_v we_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a nor_o enter_v into_o

and_o if_o we_o fight_v manful_o here_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o can_v but_o triumph_v in_o heaven_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n for_o the_o

job_n declare_v that_o he_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n deal_v so_o rough_o with_o he_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o his_o prosperity_n he_o have_v not_o be_v cruel_a but_o pitiful_a towards_o the_o poor_a and_o such_o as_o be_v in_o heaviness_n and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o be_v drunken_a in_o his_o pleasure_n but_o have_v always_o consider_v what_o the_o misery_n of_o man_n life_n be_v so_o that_o he_o weep_v with_o they_o that_o do_v weep_v and_o keep_v company_n with_o such_o as_o be_v torment_v with_o adversity_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o job_n allege_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o afflict_v and_o sure_o when_o god_n beat_v we_o with_o his_o rod_n common_o it_o be_v because_o he_o see_v that_o we_o can_v bear_v our_o own_o ease_n and_o that_o our_o flesh_n grow_v overlusty_a or_o else_o we_o be_v cruel_a towards_o our_o neighbour_n lo_o here_o the_o two_o cause_n why_o god_n do_v ordinary_o afflict_v we_o and_o we_o see_v also_o that_o in_o the_o scripture_n he_o threaten_v those_o that_o do_v so_o pass_v their_o bound_n in_o their_o prosperity_n woe_n be_v to_o you_o say_v it_o that_o laugh_v for_o you_o shall_v

themselves_o and_o think_v they_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o adversity_n and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v drunken_a folk_n like_v as_o a_o drunken_a man_n have_v no_o stay_n of_o himself_o but_o rush_v with_o his_o horn_n as_o a_o wild_a beast_n even_o so_o fare_v the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n when_o god_n handle_v they_o gentle_o that_o be_v too_o say_v they_o abuse_v his_o goodness_n and_o fling_v out_o at_o rover_n &_o give_v the_o bridle_n to_o their_o lust_n for_o have_v a_o man_n meat_n and_o drink_v even_o his_o fill_n thereupon_o ensue_v whoredom_n and_o shameful_a wantonness_n yea_o and_o blasphemy_n and_o violence_n and_o moreover_o fond_a jest_n and_o play_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n &_o to_o be_v short_a a_o man_n can_v hold_v himself_o in_o good_a modesty_n so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v at_o his_o ease_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n afflict_v man_n be_v for_o that_o he_o see_v it_o be_v for_o their_o behoof_n to_o be_v so_o correct_v furthermore_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o other_o inconvenience_n for_o they_o that_o have_v the_o world_n at_o will_n pass_v not_o for_o poor_a man_n that_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o despise_v they_o and_o set_v their_o foot_n in_o their_o neck_n we_o see_v that_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v say_v in_o reproach_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomor_n behold_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o bread_n and_o therewithal_o pleasure_n and_o cruelty_n so_o as_o they_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o succour_v such_o as_o be_v in_o need_n forsomuch_o then_o as_o they_o that_o be_v at_o their_o ease_n will_v not_o intermeddle_v themselves_o with_o the_o trouble_n and_o incumberance_n of_o their_o neighbour_n but_o hold_v themselves_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o earthly_a paradyse_n and_o exempt_v themselves_o from_o the_o feel_n of_o all_o their_o grief_n and_o adversity_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o handle_v they_o rough_o when_o their_o turn_n come_v about_o and_o forsomuch_o as_o they_o have_v have_v no_o pity_n nor_o compassion_n of_o the_o misery_n that_o they_o have_v see_v in_o their_o brethren_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o make_v they_o feel_v by_o force_n anon_o after_o that_o they_o be_v but_o man_n they_o will_v discharge_v themselves_o of_o all_o worldly_a misery_n and_o god_n show_v they_o perforce_o that_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n know_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o as_o they_o be_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v be_v that_o god_n ordinary_a afflict_v of_o man_n be_v either_o because_o they_o have_v be_v cruel_a in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o prosperity_n or_o because_o they_o have_v make_v themselves_o drunken_a in_o their_o lawless_a pleasure_n but_o he_o erewithall_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n may_v just_o keep_v we_o occupy_v with_o adversity_n though_o the_o foresay_a cause_n be_v not_o and_o that_o he_o have_v secret_a determination_n whereof_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o reason_n like_v as_o it_o happen_v unto_o job._n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n complain_v for_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o that_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v afflict_v he_o after_o that_o manner_n see_v he_o have_v behave_v himself_o so_o advise_o but_o rather_o he_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v spare_v he_o see_v he_o have_v be_v so_o fellowlike_o and_o friendly_o a_o man_n and_o be_v sad_a and_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
will_v not_o have_v we_o too_o know_v aught_o as_o now_o but_o only_o in_o part_n and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v such_o a_o soberness_n it_o be_v because_o we_o shall_v not_o covet_v too_o be_v oversuttle_a in_o these_o fond_a question_n but_o be_v content_v too_o know_v that_o which_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n yet_o nevertheless_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o

thus_o we_o see_v that_o they_o which_o be_v advance_v to_o high_a estate_n ought_v not_o to_o dazzle_v man_n eye_n but_o rather_o acknowledge_v their_o own_o frail_a state_n and_o that_o for_o

concern_v the_o world_n and_o worldly_a thing_n which_o shall_v take_v a_o end_n and_o therefore_o must_v these_o thing_n be_v transitory_a also_o then_o let_v we_o all_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o

and_o furthermore_o we_o see_v here_o how_o job_n speak_v of_o little_a babe_n for_o whereas_o he_o say_v as_o a_o untimely_a birth_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o mean_v too_o tell_v we_o

of_o all_o our_o battle_n now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n beseech_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v better_a

in_o this_o world_n be_v it_o not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v bliss_n he_o because_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o have_v a_o

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
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 preserve_v they_o the_o number_n of_o they_o be_v very_o small_a and_o yet_o be_v not_o this_o write_v in_o vain_a but_o in_o general_a we_o have_v now_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o faithful_a may_v well_o sigh_v and_o groan_v all_o their_o life_n long_o till_o god_n have_v take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n always_o wish_v for_o their_o end_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o death_n and_o yet_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 themselves_o first_o i_o say_v that_o the_o faithful_a may_v well_o sigh_v as_o folk_n that_o be_v weary_a of_o their_o long_a pin_v in_o this_o prison_n of_o theirfleshe_n namely_o for_o the_o cause_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v because_o they_o serve_v not_o god_n in_o such_o freedom_n as_o be_v requisite_a but_o draw_v their_o line_n amiss_o so_o as_o they_o work_v awry_o and_o oftentimes_o swerve_v aside_o and_o which_o more_o be_v we_o must_v sigh_v but_o so_o farforth_o as_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v so_o often_o as_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o overwearinesse_n when_o the_o matter_n stand_v upon_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n for_o that_o must_v spur_v we_o to_o desire_n god_n to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o this_o world_n and_o make_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o life_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o in_o heaven_n which_o shall_v be_v full_o show_v upon_o we_o at_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o hereby_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v not_o only_o grant_v to_o god_n child_n to_o wish_v for_o death_n but_o also_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o wish_v for_o it_o for_o they_o show_v not_o a_o good_a proof_n of_o their_o faith_n except_o they_o seek_v to_o go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n according_a as_o in_o deed_n all_o thing_n haste_v and_o labour_n towards_o their_o mark_n but_o our_o mark_n be_v aloft_o and_o therefore_o must_v we_o never_o leave_v run_v till_o we_o come_v to_o our_o way_n end_v which_o god_o have_v set_v we_o and_o we_o must_v desire_v that_o that_o may_v be_v quick_o nevertheless_o let_v we_o always_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o cause_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v provoke_v to_o wish_v for_o death_n because_o we_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 because_o we_o have_v many_o imperfection_n in_o we_o mark_v well_o i_o say_v the_o cause_n that_o must_v spur_v and_o provoke_v we_o too_o desire_v death_n namely_o too_o the_o end_n that_o be_v rid_v of_o this_o mortal_a body_n which_o be_v like_o a_o cabane_n full_a of_o all_o stench_n and_o noisomeness_n we_o may_v be_v full_o reform_v to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n so_o as_o he_o may_v reign_v in_o we_o and_o all_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v utter_o do_v away_o and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o keep_v we_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o desire_v to_o live_v and_o die_v at_o god_n pleasure_n so_o as_o we_o may_v not_o be_v give_v too_o our_o own_o will_n but_o so_o as_o we_o may_v make_v as_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o it_o in_o that_o behalf_n that_o our_o live_n may_v not_o be_v too_o ourselves_o but_o to_o god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v say_v lord_n i_o know_v my_o own_o frailty_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v thy_o will_n too_o hold_v i_o in_o this_o world_n and_o here_o

it_o be_v always_o at_o thy_o commandment_n too_o dispose_v of_o it_o at_o thine_o own_o pleasure_n behold_v i_o say_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o deal_v in_o this_o case_n and_o heerewithall_o let_v we_o have_v our_o affection_n evermore_o quiet_v yea_o even_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v continual_o praise_v god_n name_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n he_o will_v always_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n and_o saviour_n towards_o we_o but_o after_o that_o job_n have_v speak_v so_o he_o add_v that_o such_o as_o be_v so_o distress_v in_o their_o heart_n will_v be_v full_a glad_a and_o fain_a if_o they_o may_v find_v their_o grave_n wherein_o he_o bewray_v himself_o too_o speak_v through_o a_o brutish_a and_o unadvised_a affection_n and_o that_o he_o keep_v neither_o measure_n nor_o modesty_n for_o he_o confess_v that_o we_o come_v too_o naught_o there_o so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o he_o be_v fall_v howbeit_o not_o with_o a_o deadly_a fall_n but_o with_o a_o half_a fall_n and_o god_n raise_v he_o up_o again_o afterward_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v yet_o nevertheless_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o as_o we_o must_v very_o condemn_v this_o infirmity_n here_o in_o job_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o be_v so_o dismay_v with_o heaviness_n as_o he_o can_v no_o more_o taste_v of_o god_n goodness_n thereby_o too_o gather_v never_o so_o little_a comfort_n

what_o the_o effect_n be_v true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o see_v the_o meek_a one_o so_o afflict_v as_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n will_v break_v they_o and_o brooze_v they_o in_o piece_n as_o we_o have_v

which_o we_o see_v neither_o must_v we_o conclude_v that_o all_o such_o as_o be_v cruel_o persecute_v have_v therefore_o be_v cruel_a we_o see_v what_o befall_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o head_n the_o mirror_n and_o the_o pattern_n of_o all_o god_n child_n we_o see_v also_o what_o have_v befall_v to_o most_o of_o the_o faithful_a but_o as_o i_o have_v erst_o say_v we_o

and_o upon_o those_o that_o have_v not_o exercise_v such_o violence_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v afraid_a of_o god_n judgement_n and_o to_o prevent_v they_o and_o as_o oft_o as_o he_o execute_v such_o thing_n upon_o those_o that_o be_v give_v to_o hurt_v their_o neighbour_n let_v we_o glorify_v he_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o

then_o when_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o cast_v off_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v look_v upon_o god_n judgement_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v perceive_v they_o when_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

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

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

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

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

in_o these_o day_n as_o it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v that_o man_n do_v make_v their_o reckon_v to_o provoke_v god_n to_o anger_n let_v we_o learn_v therefore_o on_o our_o side_n to_o walk_v in_o

such_o wise_a as_o we_o be_v provoke_v to_o call_v upon_o he_o lo_o after_o what_o manner_n all_o of_o we_o must_v be_v in_o this_o world_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n we_o must_v be_v afflict_v and_o in_o

to_o be_v partaker_n of_o god_n kingdom_n hereafter_o but_o we_o see_v little_a in_o this_o case_n for_o rich_a man_n be_v common_o puff_v up_o with_o stateliness_n and_o so_o dazzle_v in_o their_o

for_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o he_o can_v suffer_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n because_o he_o feel_v god_n hand_n heavy_a upon_o he_o as_o david_n speak_v in_o the_o two_o and_o thirty_o psalm_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v this_o well_o always_o for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v not_o know_v to_o what_o purpose_n he_o say_v i_o will_v i_o be_v dead_a i_o will_v god_n will_v kill_v i_o i_o will_v i_o be_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

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

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

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

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

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

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 we_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o have_v he_o sit_v among_o we_o as_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o do_v among_o all_o such_o as_o be_v conformable_a unto_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o

all_o discretion_n and_o understanding_n from_o judge_n after_o that_o sort_n it_o be_v because_o he_o have_v strike_v they_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o giddiness_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o

it_o that_o job_n mean_v by_o say_v if_o not_o where_o be_v he_o and_o who_o be_v he_o it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o when_o we_o have_v seek_v all_o the_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v so_o much_o evil_n

and_o although_o man_n seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o rebel_v against_o he_o yet_o do_v he_o serve_v his_o own_o turn_n with_o they_o spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n this_o be_v it_o that_o job_n mean_v to_o utter_v in_o say_v if_o not_o where_o be_v he_o and_o who_o be_v it_o when_o there_o happen_v any_o mischief_n let_v man_n search_v it_o out_o say_v who_o have_v do_v this_o true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o any_o evil_n happen_v we_o can_v well_o skill_n too_o make_v our_o discourse_n and_o too_o seek_v some_o ground_n of_o it_o here_o beneath_o if_o we_o be_v in_o a_o country_n where_o a_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

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 a_o goodly_a similitude_n in_o that_o which_o job_n set_v down_o for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o tree_n fade_v at_o the_o come_n of_o winter_n there_o appear_v no_o more_o greenness_n in_o they_o and_o it_o seem_v that_o all_o be_v dead_a when_o the_o leaf_n be_v fall_v off_o and_o the_o tree_n themselves_o frostebitten_a and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o life_n cease_v not_o to_o lie_v hide_v both_o in_o the_o root_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o they_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o spring_n time_n be_v come_v all_o shoot_v forth_o again_o and_o the_o liveliness_n that_o be_v unseen_a for_o a_o time_n show_v itself_o anew_o now_o if_o god_n show_v we_o this_o in_o the_o tree_n will_v he_o not_o utter_v a_o great_a operation_n towards_o we_o that_o be_v so_o excellent_a creature_n sooth_o 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 figure_n of_o the_o resurrection_n by_o the_o grow_a of_o the_o corn_n upon_o the_o earth_n look_v upon_o the_o corn_n that_o be_v in_o the_o barn_n it_o be_v dry_a it_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o ground_n and_o there_o it_o rot_v we_o see_v it_o spring_v up_o again_o and_o for_o one_o grain_n there_o come_v up_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o or_o ten_o see_v then_o that_o god_n renew_v the_o grain_n both_o of_o wheat_n and_o of_o other_o corn_n yea_o and_o that_o even_o by_o rot_v what_o will_v he_o do_v to_o man_n will_v he_o not_o utter_v a_o far_o great_a work_n in_o they_o now_o then_o be_v not_o we_o senseless_a and_o brutish_a when_o we_o perceive_v not_o after_o what_o manner_n god_n work_v to_o confirm_v we_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o life_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o as_o 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 promise_v we_o yea_o and_o even_o now_o although_o we_o seem_v dead_a yet_o have_v we_o god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o we_o which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a warrant_n of_o our_o life_n and_o whensoever_o 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 run_v here_o &_o there_o &_o letthen_n go_v on_o till_o they_o be_v fall_v down_o &_o tumble_v headlong_o into_o the_o pit_n which_o they_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o reason_v contrary_a too_o that_o which_o job_n do_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o see_v our_o life_n be_v short_a &_o not_o in_o so_o good_a case_n as_o a_o tree_n let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n it_o be_v so_o because_o that_o when_o we_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o the_o world_n it_o seem_v that_o all_o be_v perish_v therefore_o it_o be_v good_a that_o god_n shall_v chastise_v we_o as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v and_o to_o what_o end_n to_o call_v we_o to_o repentance_n for_o after_o death_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o time_n and_o as_o for_o the_o rest_n let_v we_o not_o doubt_v as_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o but_o job_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o man_n too_o be_v visit_v of_o god_n hand_n although_o they_o shun_v it_o but_o there_o be_v scoffer_n which_o allege_v job_n example_n for_o a_o shroud_a sheet_n say_v behold_v the_o holy_a man_n have_v forget_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o resurruction_n they_o chafe_v against_o god_n &_o complain_v that_o god_n press_v they_o oversore_n in_o somuch_o that_o they_o have_v no_o leisure_n too_o subdue_v their_o imperfection_n and_o why_o then_o shall_v not_o the_o like_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o but_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o although_o we_o be_v patient_a in_o bear_v of_o god_n chastyzemente_n and_o in_o endure_v they_o quiet_o as_o we_o ought_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 we_o shall_v be_v assail_v and_o prick_v on_o all_o side_n but_o what_o for_o that_o we_o must_v still_o fight_v according_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o we_o shall_v get_v no_o victory_n but_o by_o fight_a and_o the_o chief_a battle_n that_o we_o have_v to_o fight_v be_v against_o ourselves_o and_o against_o our_o own_o vice_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o we_o must_v employ_v our_o whole_a force_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o whereas_o job_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n as_o a_o person_n without_o regard_n of_o the_o resurrection_n to_o come_v he_o rest_v not_o whole_o upon_o that_o point_n for_o he_o have_v well_o foresee_v what_o that_o be_v but_o mean_v to_o express_v the_o passion_n that_o he_o feel_v to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v bethink_v himself_o and_o not_o be_v carry_v away_o when_o such_o temptation_n befall_v we_o moreover_o if_o job_n be_v weaken_v after_o that_o sort_n let_v we_o assure_v our_o self_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v weaken_v much_o more_o howbeit_o god_n which_o assist_v he_o will_v do_v the_o like_a for_o we_o also_o for_o his_o power_n be_v as_o invincible_a to_o maintain_v we_o at_o this_o day_n as_o it_o be_v then_o he_o call_v we_o too_o he_o at_o this_o day_n even_o of_o his_o own_o goodness_n which_o be_v not_o abate_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v it_o as_o well_o as_o he_o make_v his_o servant_n of_o old_a time_n to_o feel_v it_o and_o therefore_o when_o we_o see_v all_o thing_n so_o confound_v nowadays_o in_o the_o world_n as_o we_o wot_v not_o what_o to_o say_v nor_o where_o to_o become_v let_v we_o run_v to_o our_o good_a god_n cast_v our_o eye_n upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o will_v deliver_v we_o from_o all_o misery_n &_o from_o all_o the_o trouble_n that_o be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o this_o world_n well_o then_o do_v we_o feel_v ourselves_o feeble_a &_o weak_a let_v we_o look_v upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n his_o father_n do_v we_o see_v ourselves_o as_o good_a as_o already_o dead_a the_o fountain_n of_o life_n be_v come_v unto_o we_o forsomuch_o as_o god_n have_v send_v we_o his_o only_a son_n and_o to_o what_o end_n even_o to_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o dungeon_n of_o death_n and_o to_o assure_v we_o that_o be_v unite_v unto_o he_o we_o can_v never_o be_v set_v beside_o the_o salvation_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o you_o see_v they_o that_o if_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n settle_v upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o shall_v not_o fail_v to_o think_v ourselves_o safe_a as_o well_o in_o the_o midd_n of_o death_n as_o of_o the_o trouble_n of_o this_o world_n because_o that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o he_o we_o be_v sure_a we_o shall_v come_v

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 that_o we_o have_v too_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o weigh_v thorough_o what_o god_n wrath_n be_v and_o why_o so_o for_o when_o we_o understand_v god_n hand_n then_o bethink_v we_o

have_v escape_v god_n hand_n if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a for_o he_o know_v well_o it_o be_v a_o far_a terribler_n matter_n to_o have_v god_n to_o be_v his_o judge_n than_o too_o die_v a_o

we_o shall_v have_v endure_v all_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o appear_a before_o god_n judgement_n seat_n when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o yield_v up_o of_o a_o account_n if_o we_o be_v but_o sick_a a_o little_a we_o cry_v out_o alas_o and_o if_o there_o happen_v we_o any_o mischance_n man_n shall_v hear_v we_o make_v complaint_n and_o yet_o our_o

that_o i_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o it_o until_o suck_v time_n as_o i_o be_v cut_v off_o here_o he_o show_v wherefore_o he_o desire_v death_n namely_o because_o he_o feel_v himself_o shut_v up_o under_o

when_o we_o have_v fisk_v hither_o and_o thither_o never_o so_o much_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o we_o shall_v have_v profit_v well_o for_o one_o day_n if_o we_o can_v bear_v this_o lesson_n in_o mind_n why_o so_o for_o although_o god_n threaten_v we_o never_o so_o much_o yet_o it_o be_v see_v that_o there_o need_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o shift_v out_o of_o it_o according_a as_o every_o of_o we_o imagine_v one_o shift_n or_o other_o insomuch_o that_o our_o hypocrisy_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o god_n threaten_n pierce_v not_o our_o heart_n as_o be_v requisite_a and_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o provoke_v more_o god_n extreme_a vengeance_n than_o when_o he_o see_v that_o we_o make_v none_o

and_o have_v pity_n upon_o our_o feebleness_n to_o relieve_v the_o same_o and_o to_o guide_v we_o by_o his_o providence_n you_o see_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

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

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

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

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

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

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

too_o strive_v with_o god_n and_o to_o storm_n and_o to_o have_v nothing_o that_o may_v comfort_v they_o nevertheless_o let_v we_o bethink_v we_o of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v namely_o that_o this_o thing_n shall_v not_o be_v always_o apparent_a for_o sometime_o god_n send_v a_o violent_a death_n too_o his_o child_n but_o although_o their_o body_n be_v pain_v yet_o be_v not_o their_o

in_o that_o behalf_n howbeit_o if_o god_n execute_v his_o judgement_n after_o a_o visible_a manner_n let_v we_o mark_v they_o that_o we_o may_v take_v good_a by_o they_o if_o we_o see_v they_o not_o

unto_o he_o know_v that_o he_o will_v receive_v they_o according_a also_o as_o they_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o will_v keep_v their_o soul_n well_o and_o safe_o unto_o the_o latter_a day_n in_o so_o much_o that_o they_o can_v perish_v because_o he_o have_v commit_v they_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o have_v take_v they_o into_o his_o protection_n the_o faithful_a therefore_o will_v go_v willing_o unto_o death_n contrariwise_o there_o light_v a_o exquisite_a and_o dreadful_a death_n upon_o the_o wicked_a because_o that_o first_o they_o know_v not_o whither_o they_o go_v and_o second_o god_n justice_n pursue_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o can_v conceive_v nothing_o but_o fear_n and_o dismaidness_n when_o we_o hear_v that_o the_o say_a

stubborn_a when_o he_o go_v about_o too_o take_v we_o out_o of_o this_o world_n sith_o such_o comfort_n be_v prepare_v for_o we_o now_o it_o ensue_v immediate_o that_o his_o hope_n shall_v be_v root_v out_o of_o his_o tent_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v bring_v too_o the_o king_n of_o death_n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o ungodly_a shall_v be_v root_v out_o of_o his_o tent_n thereby_o it_o be_v do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o god_n will_v for_o a_o time_n lodge_v such_o as_o be_v unworthy_a of_o it_o so_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v ease_n at_o will_n yea_o and_o dwell_v in_o palace_n while_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n the_o poor_a faithful_a one_o shall_v scarce_o have_v a_o little_a cottage_n too_o retire_v unto_o thus_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n which_o be_v give_v too_o all_o naughtiness_n shall_v dwell_v in_o this_o world_n as_o though_o the_o lordship_n thereof_o belong_v too_o none_o but_o they_o they_o shall_v have_v wide_a and_o large_a house_n they_o shall_v have_v goodly_a long_a walk_n and_o therewithal_o their_o trust_n shall_v be_v in_o their_o pleasure_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o shall_v think_v themselves_o
so_o well_o settle_v as_o they_o may_v never_o be_v shake_v according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o they_o shall_v repine_v at_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o building_n that_o they_o make_v here_o below_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o be_v so_o high_o advance_v as_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n can_v touch_v they_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o two_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o in_o this_o sentence_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o despiser_n of_o god_n in_o their_o bravery_n and_o in_o their_o jollity_n let_v we_o not_o be_v abash_v at_o it_o why_o so_o for_o it_o be_v not_o of_o late_a day_n that_o such_o trade_n begin_v our_o lord_n will_v have_v we_o to_o behold_v these_o thing_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o our_o heritage_n but_o our_o salvation_n be_v yet_o hide_a thus_o must_v we_o not_o be_v trouble_v nor_o offend_v when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a to_o

hope_n be_v root_v out_o of_o their_o dwell_a place_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o although_o the_o world_n see_v they_o in_o such_o p●pe_n now_o adays_o &_o so_o fence_v &_o furnish_v as_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v rampirde_v on_o all_o side_n &_o that_o no_o harm_n may_v come_v near_o they_o to_o encumber_v they_o &_o although_o the_o world_n see_v they_o well_o at_o their_o ease_n &_o that_o the_o same_o be_v like_a to_o continue_v with_o they_o ever_o after_o yet_o will_v god_n perform_v that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v and_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o that_o he_o have_v speak_v both_o of_o their_o dwell_a place_n &_o of_o their_o hope_n for_o therein_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o god_n will_v not_o be_v let_v to_o execute_v his_o vengeance_n upon_o they_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v so_o high_o advance_v for_o a_o time_n and_o as_o it_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o end_n it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o shall_v

than_o common_a death_n so_o likewise_o when_o bildad_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o king_n of_o fear_n he_o betoken_v a_o royal_a and_o exquisite_a fear_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o great_a fear_n that_o be_v to_o be_v find_v true_a it_o be_v that_o by_o this_o similitude_n we_o may_v take_v the_o devil_n for_o the_o king_n of_o fear_n but_o the_o natural_a meaning_n be_v that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o and_o sure_o the_o firstborn_a of_o death_n and_o the_o king_n of_o fear_n be_v all_o one_o manner_n of_o speech_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v brief_o that_o here_o the_o wicked_a be_v threaten_v to_o be_v drive_v into_o such_o a_o terrible_a and_o excessive_a fear_n that_o all_o the_o fear_n in_o the_o world_n which_o the_o godly_a do_v conceive_v be_v nothing_o to_o it_o and_o we_o must_v mark_v this_o sentence_n well_o for_o if_o god_n send_v we_o any_o occasion_n of_o care_n and_o fear_n we_o be_v grieve_v at_o it_o and_o true_o the_o chief_a benefit_n that_o we_o can_v wish_v in_o this_o life_n be_v peace_n so_o as_o we_o be_v set_v free_a and_o exempt_v from_o all_o misdoubting_a and_o carefulness_n yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o care_n we_o must_v not_o therefore_o be_v out_o of_o quiet_a and_o why_o for_o when_o we_o be_v overtake_v with_o fear_n although_o the_o same_o be_v great_a yet_o be_v it_o the_o mean_a whereby_o god_n provoke_v we_o to_o resort_v unto_o he_o for_o we_o will_v never_o come_v to_o hide_v ourselves_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n if_o we_o be_v safe_a and_o sure_a on_o all_o side_n it_o be_v with_o we_o as_o it_o be_v with_o little_a child_n for_o as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v not_o afraid_a they_o sport_n and_o play_v and_o run_v everywhere_o but_o if_o they_o be_v scare_v with_o any_o fear_n a_o man_n shall_v not_o get_v they_o out_o of_o their_o mother_n lap_n the_o little_a chicken_n will_v never_o gather_v themselves_o so_o hasty_o under_o their_o dam_n wing_n as_o when_o they_o be_v scare_v and_o put_v in_o fear_n we_o be_v so_o witless_a that_o if_o we_o know_v there_o be_v no_o danger_n for_o we_o we_o play_v the_o stray_n beast_n and_o therefore_o our_o lord_n too_o draw_v we_o home_o too_o he_o send_v we_o such_o fear_n as_o we_o be_v fain_o spite_n of_o our_o tooth_n too_o acknowledge_v that_o our_o life_n be_v unsure_a if_o it_o be_v not_o guard_v by_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v whereto_o the_o care_n and_o fear_n that_o god_n send_v to_o his_o child_n do_v tend_v again_o they_o be_v a_o mean_a too_o make_v they_o distrust_v their_o own_o strength_n ▪_o for_o we_o can_v never_o trust_v thorough_o in_o god_n except_o we_o be_v discourage_v in_o ourselves_o so_o as_o we_o know_v not_o where_o too_o become_v therefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o be_v put_v in_o fear_n howbeit_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a in_o sure_a state_n let_v we_o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n for_o the_o rest_n that_o they_o enjoy_v as_o now_o must_v in_o the_o end_n be_v dear_o pay_v for_o and_o why_o they_o shall_v go_v too_o the_o king_n of_o fear_n that_o be_v too_o say_v they_o shall_v have_v such_o flighting_n as_o nothing_o may_v deliver_v they_o from_o they_o but_o they_o shall_v live_v in_o extreme_a torment_n and_o anguish_n in_o somuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n will_v bring_v they_o back_o again_o to_o god_n he_o shall_v not_o prevail_v and_o if_o he_o shall_v tell_v they_o that_o they_o ought_v too_o humble_v themselves_o unto_o god_n that_o they_o may_v rest_v upon_o his_o goodness_n they_o shall_v not_o

thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o strain_v and_o consequent_o it_o be_v say_v that_o one_o which_o be_v none_o of_o he_o shall_v dwell_v in_o his_o tent_n and_o brimstone_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o his_o house_n some_o man_n set_v it_o down_o that_o he_o shall_v dwell_v in_o his_o tent_n howbeit_o because_o it_o be_v none_o of_o his_o own_o brimstone_n shall_v be_v cast_v down_o upon_o it_o but_o that_o be_v hard_a and_o strain_v let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o bildad_n mean_v rather_o that_o the_o dwelling-place_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v perish_v or_o else_o be_v convey_v over_o unto_o stranger_n this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o his_o meaning_n here_o like_v as_o in_o other_o text_n the_o like_a be_v say_v of_o vineyard_n and_o land_n and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o curse_n that_o moses_n pronounce_v against_o such_o as_o obey_v not_o god_n nor_o have_v not_o serve_v he_o but_o have_v be_v unthankful_a and_o rebellious_a towards_o he_o thou_o shall_v plant_v vine_n say_v he_o and_o another_o man_n shall_v gather_v the_o grape_n thou_o shall_v sow_v and_o another_o shall_v reap_v thy_o harvest_n thou_o shall_v build_v

and_o this_o be_v a_o true_a and_o very_a notable_a sentence_n so_o we_o hold_v we_o to_o the_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 to_o pray_v to_o he_o and_o also_o when_o he_o intend_v too_o humble_a they_o or_o when_o he_o chastize_v they_o for_o their_o sin_n as_o for_o job_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o suffer_v not_o 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 more_o earnest_o thus_o do_v god_n promise_v his_o faithful_a that_o he_o will_v guide_v they_o in_o their_o way_n yea_o &_o that_o he_o will_v lend_v they_o his_o angel_n to_o be_v their_o guide_n 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 that_o our_o way_n be_v shut_v up_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o bramble_n &_o bush_n afore_o we_o &_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mountain_n &_o rock_n round_o about_o we_o thus_o be_v we_o enclose_v &_o no_o likelihood_n of_o possibility_n to_o get_v out_o what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v in_o this_o case_n but_o only_o to_o say_v alas_o i_o be_o not_o worthy_a that_o god_n shall_v perform_v the_o goodness_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o his_o child_n i_o shall_v have_v my_o way_n plain_a &_o level_a &_o i_o know_v not_o on_o which_o side_n to_o step_v now_o therefore_o it_o behove_v i_o to_o acknowledge_v my_o fault_n true_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o send_v his_o angel_n to_o guide_v his_o faithful_a one_o but_o what_o for_o that_o it_o seem_v clean_o otherwise_o in_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

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

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

that_o our_o natural_a wit_n do_v rest_n upon_o and_o look_v at_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o feel_v see_v and_o touch_v therefore_o when_o god_n leave_v we_o in_o such_o extremity_n as_o we_o know_v

which_o look_v not_o unto_o god_n hand_n neither_o in_o weal_n nor_o wo._n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o but_o rather_o whensoever_o we_o have_v any_o prosperity_n let_v we_o consider_v

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

the_o worldward_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v fleeting_a and_o without_o any_o rest_n so_o then_o see_v that_o god_n have_v call_v we_o thereunto_o let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o take_v heed_n

that_o god_n command_v i_o such_o a_o thing_n but_o i_o be_o a_o man_n i_o feel_v my_o own_o infirmity_n yea_o and_o i_o be_o disease_v behold_v the_o physician_n offer_v himseife_a and_o come_v

much_o a_o do_v to_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v nevertheless_o if_o we_o go_v too_o it_o after_o this_o sort_n god_n will_v turn_v the_o bitterness_n of_o our_o nature_n into_o love_a kindness_n and_o

already_o if_o we_o do_v but_o grudge_v against_o he_o in_o our_o heart_n according_a as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v we_o have_v already_o gain_v the_o everlasting_a fire_n and_o his_o express_v hereof_o be_v by_o a_o similitude_n which_o he_o borrow_v of_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o judgement_n that_o be_v in_o his_o time_n therefore_o to_o make_v comparison_n of_o the_o three_o degree_n of_o offend_v in_o this_o behalf_n he_o say_v that_o the_o first_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v punish_v by_o judgement_n but_o when_o we_o open_v our_o mouth_n to_o utter_v any_o word_n of_o spite_n or_o disdain_v against_o he_o that_o have_v offend_v we_o then_o be_v there_o a_o condemnation_n yet_o grievouser_n and_o more_o to_o be_v fear_v as_o if_o we_o be_v condemn_v by_o a_o

plain_o that_o such_o a_o one_o be_v worthy_a of_o hell_n fire_n he_o mean_v that_o all_o three_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o show_v the_o degree_n of_o the_o evil_n then_o if_o a_o man_n have_v any_o sudden_a choler_n although_o the_o same_o settle_v not_o in_o his_o heart_n yet_o you_o see_v he_o have_v already_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n before_o god_n how_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o if_o we_o foster_v deadly_a hatred_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o be_v full_a of_o venomous_a rancour_n to_o be_v revenge_v of_o they_o that_o have_v do_v we_o any_o wrong_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o correct_v this_o vice_n in_o we_o and_o understand_v that_o if_o any_o evil_a word_n have_v escape_v our_o mouth_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o and_o to_o fall_v to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v namely_o that_o the_o sun_n go_v not_o down_o upon_o your_o wrath_n jest_n you_o give_v possession_n unto_o satan_n hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o if_o we_o have_v be_v move_v to_o any_o displeasure_n the_o same_o must_v pass_v away_o and_o the_o sun_n must_v not_o go_v down_o upon_o it_o so_o as_o our_o anger_n shall_v multiply_v in_o itself_o and_o why_o the_o punishment_n that_o saint_n paul_n add_v aught_o to_o touch_v we_o near_o for_o say_v he_o it_o be_v to_o give_v satan_n possession_n of_o we_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v demand_v of_o any_o of_o we_o whether_o we_o will_v that_o the_o devil_n shall_v have_v the_o mastery_n of_o we_o and_o reign_v over_o we_o and_o be_v our_o prince_n we_o will_v utter_o abhor_v it_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o do_v it_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o bear_v any_o evil_a will_n against_o our_o enemy_n we_o can_v make_v god_n a_o liar_n nor_o his_o holy_a spirit_n which_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o s._n paul_n but_o when_o we_o know_v this_o let_v we_o pass_v further_o and_o think_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o yonder_o same_o be_v a_o creature_n of_o god_n and_o i_o see_v he_o be_v a_o wretched_a damn_a soul_n what_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v then_o but_o only_o pray_v god_n for_o such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o way_n too_o destruction_n and_o again_o have_v not_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n redeem_v man_n soul_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o death_n come_v not_o to_o the_o whole_a world_n nevertheless_o for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o in_o we_o too_o discern_v between_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o sinner_n that_n go_v to_o destruction_n but_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v to_o our_o knowledge_n suffer_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n as_o well_o for_o they_o as_o for_o we_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o labour_v to_o bring_v every_o man_n too_o salvation_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v available_a to_o they_o and_o furthermore_o if_o this_o be_v to_o heavy_a for_o we_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o comparison_n there_o be_v between_o god_n and_o we_o for_o who_o be_v he_o that_o offend_v not_o god_n daily_a and_o yet_o nevertheless_o assoon_o as_o we_o return_v unto_o he_o he_o give_v we_o liberty_n too_o come_v familiar_o thither_o without_o doubt_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v

gather_v of_o this_o sentence_n where_o we_o hear_v job_n protest_v that_o he_o not_o only_o forbear_v all_o revenge_n but_o also_o be_v sorry_a when_o any_o evil_n happen_v to_o his_o enemy_n and_o his_o heart_n rejoice_v not_o when_o he_o hear_v speak_v of_o it_o nevertheless_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v rejoice_v at_o the_o confuzion_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o be_v true_a howbeit_o to_o the_o intent_n to_o have_v such_o a_o gladness_n as_o god_n allow_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v scour_v &_o cleanse_v from_o all_o privy_a malice_n &_o all_o regard_n of_o our_o own_o person_n when_o god_n child_n rejoice_v at_o the_o adversity_n of_o the_o wicked_a it_o must_v be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v just_a and_o righteous_a and_o yet_o therewithal_o they_o must_v also_o take_v warning_n to_o walk_v in_o fear_n
true_a mean_a of_o comfort_v we_o which_o be_v not_o to_o forget_v god_n and_o to_o seek_v fond_a vanity_n to_o sot_n ourselves_o withal_o but_o to_o be_v certify_v of_o god_n goodness_n and_o it_o

too_o be_v a_o melancholic_a matter_n too_o think_v upon_o he_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n how_o many_o be_v there_o which_o will_v say_v stout_o enough_o that_o they_o be_v christian_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o they_o intend_v to_o be_v merry_a they_o drive_v away_o all_o thought_n of_o god_n and_o of_o eternal_a life_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o also_o offend_v god_n of_o set_a

we_o look_v well_o to_o ourselves_o and_o be_v sure_a that_o our_o mirth_n shall_v not_o be_v bliss_v from_o above_o except_o we_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n therefore_o if_o we_o have_v god_n favour_n so_o as_o we_o can_v call_v upon_o he_o as_o eliu_n will_v by-and-by_o add_v therein_o consist_v our_o true_a gladness_n which_o be_v allow_v of_o god_n &_o be_v last_v and_o will_v bring_v we_o to_o salvation_n but_o so_o long_v we_o we_o know_v not_o in_o what_o case_n we_o be_v with_o our_o good_a god_n ne_o seek_v to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o but_o lie_v

of_o his_o wrath_n and_o we_o plunge_v ourselves_o the_o deep_a into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n you_o see_v then_o how_o it_o be_v more_o than_o needful_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v show_v we_o how_o much_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o be_v well_o assure_v of_o god_n mercifulness_n towards_o we_o and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o it_o treat_v of_o

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

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

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 god_n get_v the_o upper_a hand_n and_o make_v we_o conqueror_n in_o fight_v and_o undoubted_o sith_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n enlighten_v we_o it_o ought_v to_o suffice_v we_o according_a as_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
strong_a god_n truth_n be_v and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a too_o fight_v against_o it_o and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v fence_v and_o have_v many_o partaker_n yet_o must_v god_n always_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n so_o as_o his_o righteousness_n shall_v continue_v unappayr_v when_o we_o have_v bark_v our_o fill_n against_o it_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bite_v it_o as_o shall_v be_v say_v anon_o mark_v i_o say_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o strain_n and_o therefore_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v lavish_a of_o our_o tong_n when_o god_n afflict_v we_o and_o when_o thing_n go_v not_o after_o our_o mind_n let_v we_o not_o be_v impatient_a therefore_o in_o our_o affliction_n but_o let_v we_o always_o humble_a ourselves_o under_o he_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v for_o if_o we_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o barret_n with_o he_o it_o will_v be_v to_o our_o great_a confusion_n and_o shame_n you_o see_v then_o how_o all_o man_n ought_v to_o bridle_v &_o as_o it_o be_v to_o imprison_v themselves_o too_o the_o end_n they_o may_v never_o murmur_v against_o god_n nor_o blaspheme_v he_o furthermore_o though_o we_o have_v many_o partaker_n yet_o shall_v it_o not_o boot_n we_o for_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v himself_o too_o be_v overcome_v by_o never_o so_o great_a multitude_n of_o man_n it_o shall_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o we_o to_o assemble_v man_n of_o our_o own_o retinue_n for_o we_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o be_v put_v too_o the_o foil_n together_o if_o all_o the_o world_n have_v make_v a_o confederacy_n to_o spite_n god_n he_o will_v not_o pass_v of_o it_o he_o will_v but_o laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o second_o psalm_n that_o when_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v consult_v together_o and_o the_o people_n have_v storm_v as_o much_o as_o they_o list_v he_o that_o be_v above_o will_v laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o second_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v our_o case_n to_o be_v the_o better_a when_o we_o have_v many_o adherent_n and_o partaker_n for_o god_n will_v condemn_v all_o the_o whole_a pack_n of_o we_o and_o furthermore_o we_o see_v also_o on_o the_o other_o part_n that_o when_o we_o have_v god_n truth_n on_o our_o side_n we_o must_v not_o stick_v to_o maintain_v it_o and_o why_o for_o he_o will_v give_v we_o mouth_n and_o wisdom_n and_o also_o power_n to_o beat_v back_o all_o our_o enemy_n and_o we_o have_v great_a need_n in_o these_o day_n to_o be_v arm_v with_o such_o assurance_n for_o we_o see_v with_o what_o furiousness_n the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n set_v up_o themselves_o because_o we_o be_v but_o a_o handful_n of_o people_n and_o they_o a_o great_a multitude_n and_o that_o in_o a_o manner_n the_o whole_a world_n agree_v with_o they_o to_o pratice_v our_o death_n they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o goal_n go_v on_o their_o side_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o triumph_v amongst_o they_o before_o any_o stroke_n be_v strike_v what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o then_o if_o we_o know_v not_o that_o which_o be_v show_v we_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v the_o truth_n on_o our_o side_n one_o of_o we_o may_v always_o fight_v against_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o and_o we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a when_o the_o papist_n come_v stout_o against_o we_o with_o their_o ergo_n although_o they_o be_v a_o great_a host_n and_o we_o few_o or_o none_o in_o comparison_n no_o no_o let_v not_o that_o abash_v we_o and_o why_o for_o this_o say_n i_o will_v answer_v thou_o and_o thy_o companion_n be_v not_o write_v alone_o for_o the_o person_n of_o eliu_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v we_o that_o promise_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o stick_v to_o enter_v into_o battle_n and_o to_o stand_v stout_o to_o it_o to_o the_o uttermost_a sith_o we_o know_v our_o case_n be_v good_a and_o that_o god_n fight_v for_o we_o because_o we_o maintain_v his_o quarrel_n therefore_o when_o we_o have_v such_o a_o certainty_n let_v we_o fight_v bold_o against_o our_o enemy_n for_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v confound_v in_o the_o end_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o how_o we_o may_v put_v this_o text_n in_o ure_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o instruction_n special_o at_o this_o present_a time_n when_o we_o see_v the_o whole_a world_n imbattayled_a against_o god_n and_o the_o multitude_n of_o enemy_n so_o great_a as_o it_o may_v utter_o discourage_v we_o if_o our_o lord_n do_v not_o comfort_v we_o by_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o answer_v for_o he_o though_o there_o be_v never_o so_o many_o gaynsayer_n that_o be_v so_o confederate_a together_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o answer_n that_o eliu_n make_v behold_v the_o sky_n say_v he_o look_v up_o too_o the_o great_a heaven_n they_o be_v high_a than_o thou_o and_o thou_o can_v never_o reach_v too_o they_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o very_a raw_a answer_n for_o have_v he_o none_o other_o reason_n whereby_o too_o show_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n yes_o but_o if_o this_o say_n be_v apply_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o such_o as_o blaspheme_v god_n for_o by_o behold_v of_o the_o heaven_n he_o lead_v we_o to_o another_o consideration_n which_o be_v that_o our_o do_v well_o profit_v not_o our_o god_n and_o that_o our_o do_v evil_a can_v hurt_v he_o for_o what_o shall_v he_o be_v the_o worse_a for_o it_o see_v it_o be_v so_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v measure_v according_a unto_o man_n for_o he_o be_v not_o revengeful_a as_o who_o will_v say_v he_o be_v angry_a when_o a_o man_n do_v he_o wrong_n or_o that_o he_o be_v lead_v by_o affection_n like_o a_o man_n that_o look_v to_o be_v please_v and_o think_v himself_o behold_v to_o another_o man_n for_o do_v he_o any_o service_n god_n be_v none_o such_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o measure_v he_o by_o our_o own_o meateyearde_n nor_o imagine_v any_o fleshliness_n in_o he_o for_o the_o very_a sky_n that_o be_v under_o his_o foot_n do_v show_v well_o that_o he_o be_v not_o like_o we_o nor_o meddle_v here_o with_o we_o to_o have_v any_o part_n at_o all_o of_o our_o nature_n therefore_o we_o see_v that_o this_o reason_n where_o it_o be_v say_v behold_v the_o sky_n and_o look_v up_o above_o thy_o head_n be_v sufficient_a too_o beat_v down_o all_o those_o that_o dare_v lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o god_n but_o now_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o lay_v out_o that_o which_o follow_v by_o peecemele_n too_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v the_o better_a understand_v when_o eliu_n say_v if_o thou_o do_v good_a what_o profit_n do_v god_n receive_v by_o it_o he_o show_v thereby_o that_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v unto_o we_o mark_v that_o for_o the_o first_o point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o he_o be_v not_o affection_a as_o man_n be_v when_o any_o pleasure_n be_v do_v they_o they_o be_v move_v with_o it_o because_o they_o be_v passable_a but_o god_n be_v not_o so_o we_o can_v neither_o show_v he_o friendship_n nor_o favour_n and_o so_o he_o be_v not_o like_a unto_o we_o and_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n bind_v unto_o we_o do_v what_o we_o can_v it_o be_v a_o very_a true_a thing_n notwithstanding_o we_o see_v how_o man_n grow_v proud_a yea_o even_o without_o cause_n or_o occasion_n &_o will_v make_v god_n believe_v that_o he_o be_v behold_v to_o they_o although_o they_o can_v bring_v he_o nothing_o and_o this_o draw_v after_o it_o a_o mischeevouse_n tail_n of_o superstition_n why_o do_v the_o papist_n labour_v so_o much_o at_o this_o day_n for_o these_o ceremony_n and_o gewgaw_n it_o be_v because_o they_o think_v that_o god_n receive_v some_o profit_n by_o they_o when_o they_o make_v many_o gewgaw_n and_o have_v babble_a and_o trot_v from_o place_n to_o place_n they_o think_v they_o have_v make_v a_o fair_a work_n when_o their_o churchstuffe_n be_v well_o deck_v and_o when_o they_o have_v well_o trim_v and_o wash_v their_o puppet_n as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v make_v a_o goodly_a banquet_n and_o deck_v up_o a_o house_n &_o bestraw_v it_o with_o rush_n and_o other_o thing_n the_o papist_n i_o say_v surmise_v that_o god_n delight_v in_o these_o nice_a toy_n and_o that_o he_o take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o but_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v that_o we_o can_v bring_v any_o thing_n

forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o although_o the_o sea_n rush_v forth_o with_o such_o headiness_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o hold_v it_o back_o as_o a_o man_n shall_v wield_v a_o little_a babe_n

for_o our_o overboldness_n therefore_o let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n how_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o god_n have_v give_v the_o sea_n a_o law_n to_o say_v to_o it_o thou_o shall_v go_v but_o thus_o far_o and_o no_o further_o if_o the_o sea_n be_v ever_o calm_a and_o that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o storm_n or_o tempest_n man_n shall_v not_o so_o well_o perceive_v god_n providence_n and_o

himself_o into_o overgreat_a heaviness_n but_o all_o his_o do_n tend_v to_o humility_n like_v as_o also_o the_o same_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o repentance_n among_o the_o man_n of_o old_a time_n for_o

when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o show_v how_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n shall_v have_v the_o dispose_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v put_v into_o our_o hand_n

here_o a_o sentence_n common_a enough_o in_o talk_n howbeit_o so_o ill_o practise_v as_o a_o man_n may_v well_o see_v that_o it_o be_v understand_v but_o of_o a_o very_a few_o so_o much_o the_o more_o
