a_o godly_a and_o pithy_a exhortation_n make_v to_o the_o judge_n and_o justice_n of_o sussex_n and_o the_o whole_a county_n assemble_v together_o at_o the_o general_a assize_n by_o william_n ouerton_n doctor_n of_o divinity_n and_o one_o of_o the_o queen_n majesty_n justice_n appoint_v for_o the_o peace_n within_o the_o same_o county_n proverb_n 10._o where_o no_o ruler_n be_v there_o fall_v the_o people_n to_o ruin_v and_o decay_v but_o where_o much_o counsel_n be_v there_o be_v health_n and_o safety_n print_a by_o r._n newberry_n and_o h._n bynneman_n to_o the_o reader_n have_v occasion_n the_o last_o lente_n to_o be_v at_o estgreenestedde_n it_o be_v my_o chance_n gentle_a reader_n to_o hear_v a_o very_a learned_a and_o fruitful_a sermon_n make_v the_o same_o present_a time_n before_o the_o whole_a assembly_n of_o the_o sheer_a i_o take_v such_o profit_n and_o pleasure_n of_o it_o myself_o by_o hear_v it_o and_o hear_v it_o so_o general_o commend_v of_o other_o that_o i_o can_v not_o but_o devise_v how_o to_o make_v common_a to_o many_o that_o which_o be_v there_o utter_v but_o to_o few_o that_o so_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o may_v redound_v also_o to_o many_o i_o may_v perhaps_o have_v blame_n of_o the_o author_n to_o put_v it_o forth_o in_o print_n without_o his_o knowledge_n and_o consent_n but_o if_o he_o know_v how_o much_o good_a he_o do_v to_o those_o few_o that_o hear_v he_o i_o trust_v he_o will_v not_o be_v offend_v if_o by_o my_o mean_n he_o do_v more_o good_a to_o a_o great_a number_n that_o hear_v he_o not_o but_o shall_v read_v he_o for_o the_o exhortation_n be_v so_o temper_v and_o the_o conveyance_n of_o it_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o though_o you_o can_v special_o apply_v it_o but_o to_o some_o man_n yet_o you_o may_v use_v it_o so_o general_o that_o it_o will_v edify_v any_o man_n if_o all_o therefore_o shall_v read_v it_o it_o will_v profit_v all_o because_o it_o have_v matter_n that_o serve_v for_o all_o but_o if_o those_o read_v it_o that_o be_v judge_n of_o circuit_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n or_o jury_n man_n or_o such_o other_o like_a that_o have_v any_o call_n that_o way_n it_o will_v profit_n such_o man_n most_o because_o to_o such_o it_o most_o appertain_v and_o sure_o i_o wish_v above_o all_o other_o that_o judge_n and_o justice_n and_o whosoever_o they_o be_v else_o that_o use_v to_o give_v charge_n to_o the_o people_n yea_o and_o those_o also_o that_o have_v the_o charge_n give_v they_o shall_v always_o before_o they_o go_v about_o such_o business_n read_v over_o and_o peruse_v this_o little_a piece_n of_o work_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o deal_v more_o earnest_o in_o god_n cause_n and_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n than_o common_o they_o be_v

the_o same_o time_n when_o the_o judge_n be_v come_v from_o the_o church_n to_o the_o hall_n and_o be_v now_o set_v down_o and_o the_o country_n before_o they_o they_o do_v not_o only_o impart_v to_o the_o multitude_n what_o great_a fruit_n and_o comfort_n they_o have_v receive_v themselves_o by_o hear_v that_o sermon_n give_v it_o a_o singular_a commendation_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o all_o man_n even_o from_o the_o bench_n where_o they_o sit_v but_o also_o then_o take_v occasion_n thereby_o to_o give_v a_o very_a quick_a and_o vehement_fw-fr charge_n to_o the_o grand_a jury_n yea_o and_o to_o the_o justice_n themselves_o and_o to_o all_o other_o that_o have_v any_o office_n or_o authority_n in_o the_o sheer_a to_o look_v more_o narrow_o to_o matter_n of_o religion_n than_o heretofore_o they_o have_v do_v and_o to_o endeavoure_n themselves_o by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o conserve_v the_o peace_n and_o unity_n of_o christ_n church_n and_o to_o search_v out_o and_o see_v punish_v all_o that_o be_v offender_n to_o the_o contrary_n and_o to_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n it_o do_v my_o heart_n good_a to_o see_v so_o grave_a &_o wise_a a_o man_n judge_n gaudy_n by_o name_n to_o
