need_n of_o the_o service_n and_o help_v of_o the_o inferior_n for_o what_o if_o king_n and_o other_o mighty_a man_n shall_v till_o the_o earth_n feed_v cattle_n make_v garment_n &_o do_v other_o

first_o that_o they_o shall_v give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o life_n unto_o god_n the_o chief_a lord_n and_o judge_n for_o that_o god_n do_v mark_v they_o to_o punish_v they_o according_a unto_o

trouble_v by_o wicked_a magistrate_n we_o must_v not_o marvel_v that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v not_o deny_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n with_o angry_a and_o grudge_a mind_n but_o we_o must_v do_v our_o duty_n and_o hold_v this_o sure_o that_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v be_v most_o severelye_o punish_v for_o the_o forsake_v and_o break_v of_o his_o office_n in_o the_o mean_a season_n that_o god_n a_o wonderful_a worke-mayster_n in_o his_o good_a time_n will_v bring_v forth_o light_o out_o of_o this_o darkness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v will_v preserve_v the_o fellowship_n of_o man_n and_o in_o it_o the_o church_n even_o by_o ungodlye_a magistrate_n this_o seem_v unto_o i_o to_o be_v the_o most_o simple_a and_o plain_a meaning_n of_o this_o place_n in_o other_o exposition_n of_o this_o place_n he_o allude_v unto_o the_o fable_n of_o the_o poet_n who_o do_v feign_v that_o astraea_n the_o goddess_n of_o justice_n do_v first_o forsake_v the_o city_n and_o last_o of_o all_o the_o

not_o see_v how_o they_o can_v agree_v with_o the_o thing_n go_v next_o before_o on_o the_o which_o these_o do_v depend_v nor_o how_o they_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o sermon_n the_o which_o condemn_v of_o vanity_n all_o trade_n of_o live_v that_o be_v to_o say_v whatsoever_o be_v do_v under_o the_o sun_n and_o how_o quiet_a the_o country_n life_n be_v the_o poor_a husbandman_n do_v know_v who_o astraea_n or_o justice_n do_v last_o of_o all_o visit_n leave_v first_o the_o city_n yet_o in_o the_o end_n she_o fly_v up_o into_o heaven_n out_o of_o the_o field_n the_o country_n or_o husbandman_n his_o life_n have_v his_o commodity_n &_o so_o also_o have_v other_o trade_n of_o live_v but_o solomon_n his_o purpose_n be_v rather_o to_o reckon_v up_o their_o

which_o arise_v of_o the_o behold_n of_o thing_n entangle_v and_o out_o of_o order_n we_o must_v set_v a_o convenient_a &_o fit_a remedy_n namely_o the_o earnest_n think_v upon_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n the_o which_o blind_a godlessness_n do_v not_o see_v a_o remedy_n against_o the_o vainitie_n of_o riches_n 10_o he_o that_o love_v silver_n shall_v not_o be_v satisfy_v with_o silver_n

the_o evil_a of_o the_o owner_n thereof_o 14_o and_o these_o riches_n do_v perish_v in_o the_o evil_a occupy_v and_o he_o have_v beget_v a_o son_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o his_o hand_n 15_o
