he_o seek_v without_o trouble_n and_o be_v happy_a many_o year_n since_o than_o he_o be_v now_o therefore_o to_o they_o which_o be_v young_a solomon_n show_v what_o a_o vantage_n they_o have_v above_o the_o age_a like_o a_o ship_n which_o see_v another_o ship_n sink_v before_o she_o look_v about_o she_o pull_v down_o her_o sail_n turn_v her_o course_n and_o escape_v the_o sand_n which_o will_v swallow_v she_o as_o they_o have_v do_v the_o other_o so_o they_o which_o be_v young_a need_v not_o try_v the_o snare_n and_o allurement_n of_o the_o world_n or_o the_o issue_n and_o effect_n of_o sin_n which_o old_a man_n have_v try_v before_o they_o but_o take_v the_o trial_n and_o experience_n of_o other_o and_o go_v a_o near_a way_n to_o obtain_v their_o wish_a desire_n that_o be_v this_o say_v solomon_n if_o thou_o will_v have_v any_o settle_a peace_n or_o hearty_a joy_n in_o this_o vain_a or_o transitory_a world_n which_o thou_o have_v be_v seek_v all_o the_o time_n since_o thou_o be_v bear_v thou_o must_v remember_v thy_o creator_n which_o do_v make_v thou_o which_o have_v elect_v thou_o which_o have_v redeem_v thou_o which_o daily_a preserve_v thou_o which_o will_v for_o ever_o glorify_v thou_o and_o as_o the_o kind_a remembrance_n of_o a_o friend_n do_v recreate_v the_o mind_n so_o to_o think_v and_o meditate_v upon_o god_n will_v supply_v thy_o thought_n dispel_v thy_o grief_n and_o make_v thou_o cheerful_a as_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o ark_n comfort_v david_n for_o joy_n and_o comfort_n and_o pleasure_n be_v whereas_o god_n be_v as_o light_n and_o cheerfulness_n and_o beauty_n be_v whereas_o the_o sun_n be_v now_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v this_o joy_n and_o comfort_n &_o pleasure_n to_o be_v long_o and_o will_v escape_v those_o thousand_o misery_n vexation_n and_o vanity_n which_o solomon_n by_o many_o weary_a and_o tedious_a trial_n seek_v to_o make_v naked_a before_o thou_o &_o yet_o hold_v all_o but_o vanity_n when_o he_o have_v find_v the_o way_n thou_o must_v remember_v thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n at_o the_o first_o spring_n time_n and_o then_o thy_o happiness_n shall_v be_v as_o long_o as_o thy_o life_n and_o all_o thy_o thought_n while_o thou_o remain_v on_o earth_n a_o foretaste_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o salomon_n counsel_n solomon_n find_v man_n seek_v happiness_n out_o of_o the_o way_n as_o esau_n hunt_v long_o for_o a_o blessing_n and_o yet_o go_v without_o it_o he_o pity_v to_o see_v he_o seek_v and_o not_o find_v to_o run_v and_o not_o obtain_v therefore_o he_o set_v he_o in_o the_o way_n like_o a_o guide_n send_v from_o heaven_n which_o often_o have_v stray_v himself_o before_o and_o be_v now_o recover_v to_o his_o right_a way_n stand_v like_o a_o mark_n of_o knowledge_n in_o the_o turn_n that_o lead_v unto_o blind_a byway_n to_o direct_v all_o those_o that_o pass_v by_o that_o they_o may_v follow_v the_o ready_a path_n that_o lead_v to_o eternal_a happiness_n and_o because_o the_o travailour_n march_v cheerful_o which_o know_v his_o way_n before_o he_o set_v forth_o therefore_o from_o the_o first_o set_v forth_o even_o from_o the_o time_n of_o youth_n when_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o run_v his_o pilgrimage_n solomon_n tell_v he_o how_o he_o shall_v therein_o prepare_v himself_o to_o walk_v and_o set_v he_o in_o a_o fair_a high_a way_n wherein_o be_v no_o turn_v either_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o the_o left_a which_o he_o call_v the_o remembrance_n of_o god._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v walk_v with_o god_n as_o enoch_n do_v and_o remember_v well_o that_o he_o which_o shall_v be_v thy_o judge_n do_v see_v all_o that_o thou_o do_v and_o hear_v thou_o at_o every_o word_n and_o this_o thought_n shall_v keep_v thou_o in_o the_o way_n at_o all_o time_n like_o the_o cloud_n and_o pillar_n of_o fire_n which_o go_v before_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n aswell_o by_o day_n as_o night_n when_o they_o travail_v in_o the_o wilderness_n in_o the_o next_o chapter_n before_o and_o the_o nine_o verse_n solomon_n say_v rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n now_o he_o have_v change_v his_o note_n to_o remember_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n no_o more_o rejoice_v but_o remember_v solomon_n mock_v before_o and_o show_v what_o they_o do_v remember_v here_o he_o show_v what_o they_o shall_v remember_v lest_o any_o libertine_n shall_v misconstrue_v he_o and_o say_v solomon_n teach_v we_o to_o rejoice_v solomon_n give_v we_o leave_v to_o sin_n solomon_n say_v do_v as_o you_o listen_v for_o you_o be_v young_a man_n and_o have_v a_o privilege_n to_o be_v lascivious_a and_o vain_a he_o recant_v with_o a_o breath_n and_o deny_v forthwith_o his_o word_n even_o where_o he_o speak_v it_o what_o say_v i_o rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n i_o will_v say_v remember_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n so_o god_n mock_n we_o while_o we_o sin_n like_o michaiah_n which_o bad_a achab_n fight_v against_o aram_n and_o then_o forbid_v he_o again_o so_o he_o bid_v they_o rejoice_v and_o forbid_v they_o again_o rejoice_v not_o in_o thy_o youth_n but_o repent_v in_o thy_o youth_n one_o will_v think_v that_o solomon_n shall_v have_v give_v this_o memorandum_n rather_o to_o old_a man_n then_o to_o young_a man_n let_v they_o repent_v which_o look_v to_o die_v oh_o say_v jeremie_n 27._o it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n in_o his_o youth_n if_o it_o be_v good_a to_o suffer_v in_o youth_n it_o be_v better_a to_o learn_v in_o youth_n therefore_o if_o david_n wish_v that_o his_o tongue_n may_v cleave_v to_o the_o roof_n of_o his_o mouth_n 6_o if_o he_o forget_v jerusalem_n what_o be_v they_o worthy_a which_o forget_v god_n the_o king_n of_o jerusalem_n can_v a_o child_n forget_v his_o father_n be_v not_o god_n our_o father_n therefore_o who_o be_v too_o young_a to_o remember_v he_o see_v the_o child_n do_v know_v his_o father_n as_o the_o deep_a wound_n have_v need_v to_o be_v first_o tent_a so_o the_o unstabl_a mind_n have_v need_v to_o be_v first_o confirm_v in_o this_o extremity_n be_v youth_n as_o solomon_n show_v they_o before_o he_o teach_v they_o for_o in_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o former_a chapter_n he_o call_v youth_n vanity_n as_o if_o he_o will_v speak_v all_o evil_a in_o a_o word_n and_o say_v that_o youth_n be_v even_o the_o age_n of_o sin_n therefore_o when_o he_o have_v show_v young_a man_n their_o sollie_n under_o the_o name_n of_o vanity_n like_o a_o good_a tutor_n he_o take_v they_o to_o school_v and_o teach_v they_o their_o duty_n remember_v thy_o creator_n as_o though_o all_o sin_n be_v the_o forgetfulness_n of_o god_n and_o all_o our_o obedience_n come_v from_o this_o remembrance_n that_o god_n create_v we_o after_o his_o own_o image_n in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n to_o serve_v he_o here_o for_o a_o while_n and_o after_o to_o inherit_v the_o joy_n which_o he_o have_v himself_o which_o if_o we_o do_v remember_v double_v it_o will_v make_v we_o ashamed_a to_o think_v and_o speak_v and_o do_v as_o we_o be_v wont_v for_o what_o man_n do_v remember_v his_o creator_n or_o why_o he_o be_v create_v while_o he_o swear_v and_o forswear_v and_o make_v his_o trade_n of_o sin_n as_o though_o there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o judge_v nor_o hell_n to_o punish_v this_o be_v because_o the_o remembrance_n of_o god_n which_o will_v wake_v sinner_n be_v so_o chase_v from_o man_n for_o fear_v it_o shall_v curb_v they_o of_o their_o pleasure_n that_o they_o dare_v not_o think_v of_o he_o but_o strive_v to_o forget_v he_o that_o they_o may_v sin_v without_o fear_n therefore_o he_o become_v a_o schoolmaster_n for_o god_n and_o call_v child_n unto_o he_o before_o they_o be_v corrupt_v to_o teach_v they_o this_o one_o lesson_n for_o the_o guide_n of_o their_o life_n remember_v thy_o creator_n to_o which_o he_o draw_v they_o as_o it_o be_v with_o two_o cord_n the_o short_a slight_n of_o their_o youth_n and_o the_o infinite_a infirmity_n of_o age_n to_o show_v how_o soon_o our_o youth_n be_v go_v which_o we_o think_v will_v never_o have_v end_n solomon_n do_v not_o reckon_v it_o by_o year_n but_o by_o day_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n so_o the_o scripture_n number_n our_o life_n by_o day_n and_o hour_n and_o minute_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o make_v use_n of_o all_o our_o time_n and_o every_o day_n to_o think_v upon_o the_o end_n yet_o lest_o they_o shall_v post_v over_o this_o remembrance_n unto_o age_n which_o be_v the_o general_a day_n that_o all_o set_v to_o repent_v after_o this_o verse_n solomon_n bring_v in_o the_o old_a man_n deaf_a and_o blind_a and_o lame_a and_o stammer_n for_o the_o

though_o their_o child_n be_v destroy_v but_o godly_a parent_n will_v not_o have_v they_o destroy_v but_o save_v that_o when_o they_o have_v dwell_v together_o in_o earth_n they_o may_v dwell_v together_o in_o heaven_n as_o the_o midwife_n frame_v the_o body_n when_o it_o be_v young_a and_o tender_a so_o the_o parent_n must_v frame_v the_o mind_n while_o it_o be_v green_a and_o flexible_a for_o youth_n be_v the_o seed_n time_n of_o virtue_n 2._o they_o which_o be_v call_v father_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o warn_v they_o that_o they_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o god_n to_o their_o child_n which_o teach_v all_o his_o son_n what_o example_n have_v child_n but_o their_o parent_n and_o sure_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v ease_v their_o charge_n more_o than_o they_o be_v aware_a for_o a_o child_n will_v learn_v better_o of_o his_o father_n than_o of_o any_o other_o son_n and_o therefore_o we_o read_v of_o no_o schoolmaster_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o parent_n for_o when_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o jew_n 38._o if_o you_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n you_o will_v do_v the_o work_n of_o your_o father_n abraham_n he_o show_v that_o son_n use_v to_o walk_v in_o their_o father_n step_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a it_o be_v a_o marvelous_a delight_n to_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n when_o people_n say_v that_o their_o child_n be_v like_o they_o but_o if_o they_o be_v like_o they_o in_o godliness_n it_o be_v as_o great_a delight_n to_o other_o as_o to_o the_o parent_n or_o else_o we_o say_v that_o they_o be_v so_o like_a that_o they_o be_v the_o worse_a for_o it_o well_o do_v david_n call_v child_n arrow_n 4_o for_o if_o they_o be_v well_o breed_v they_o shoot_v at_o their_o parent_n enemy_n and_o if_o they_o be_v evil_o breed_v they_o shoot_v at_o their_o parent_n therefore_o many_o father_n want_n a_o staff_n to_o stay_v they_o in_o their_o age_n because_o they_o prepare_v none_o before_o like_o old_a eli_n which_o be_v correct_v himself_o 29._o for_o not_o correct_v his_o son_n be_v not_o child_n call_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o parent_n 11._o therefore_o as_o a_o good_a tree_n be_v know_v by_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n 33_o so_o parent_n shall_v show_v their_o godliness_n in_o the_o education_n of_o their_o child_n which_o be_v their_o fruit_n 20._o for_o this_o cause_n the_o jew_n be_v wont_a to_o name_v their_o child_n so_o when_o they_o be_v bear_v 24._o that_o ever_o after_o if_o they_o do_v but_o think_v upon_o their_o name_n they_o will_v put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o that_o religion_n which_o they_o shall_v profess_v for_o they_o do_v signify_v some_o thing_n that_o they_o shall_v learn_v a_o admonition_n to_o such_o as_o call_v their_o child_n at_o all_o

a_o child_n and_o set_v he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o disciple_n 17_o and_o say_v he_o which_o will_v receive_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n must_v receive_v it_o as_o a_o little_a child_n show_v that_o our_o child_n shall_v be_v so_o innocent_a so_o humble_a and_o void_a of_o evil_a that_o they_o may_v be_v take_v for_o example_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n therefore_o in_o psalm_n 127._o 4._o child_n be_v call_v the_o heritage_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o show_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v train_v as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o man_n child_n but_o god_n that_o they_o may_v have_v god_n heritage_n after_o 15._o thus_o if_o you_o do_v your_o servant_n shall_v be_v god_n servant_n 8._o and_o your_o child_n shall_v be_v god_n child_n and_o your_o house_n shall_v be_v god_n house_n like_o a_o little_a church_n when_o other_o be_v like_o a_o den_n of_o thief_n now_o i_o speak_v to_o one_o which_o be_v a_o mother_n so_o soon_o as_o she_o be_v marry_v duty_n therefore_o peradventure_o you_o look_v that_o i_o shall_v show_v the_o duty_n of_o stepmother_n their_o name_n do_v show_v they_o their_o duty_n too_o for_o a_o stepmother_n do_v signify_v a_o stedmother_n that_o be_v one_o mother_n die_v and_o another_o come_v in_o her_o stead_n therefore_o that_o your_o love_n may_v settle_v to_o those_o little_a one_o as_o it_o ought_v you_o must_v remember_v that_o you_o be_v their_o stedmother_n that_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o their_o mother_n and_o therefore_o to_o love_v they_o and_o tender_v they_o and_o cherish_v they_o as_o their_o mother_n do_v she_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o they_o like_o rehoboam_n who_o tell_v his_o people_n that_o he_o will_v be_v worse_o unto_o they_o than_o his_o predecessor_n for_o than_o they_o will_v turn_v from_o she_o as_o

yet_o i_o will_v reign_v over_o you_o so_o she_o must_v say_v to_o they_o though_o your_o mother_n be_v dead_a yet_o will_v i_o be_v a_o mother_n so_o the_o child_n will_v love_v she_o much_o as_o their_o father_n further_o these_o child_n be_v orphan_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v not_o only_o regard_v they_o as_o child_n but_o as_o orphan_n child_n 2._o now_o god_n require_v a_o great_a
