yet_o the_o more_o be_v the_o pity_n many_o man_n and_o woman_n otherwise_o well_o affect_v think_v it_o a_o ornament_n to_o their_o child_n to_o be_v skill_v in_o this_o wanton_a science_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v entice_v and_o allure_v to_o all_o manner_n of_o filthiness_n which_o man_n nature_n of_o itself_o be_v ready_a to_o embrace_v and_o needs_o no_o allurement_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o all_o lewd_a wanton_a and_o lascivious_a dance_n be_v not_o only_o unlawful_a but_o also_o a_o great_a mean_n to_o increase_v much_o wantonness_n and_o filthiness_n for_o our_o foot_n be_v not_o give_v we_o to_o trip_v like_o ram_n skip_v like_o goat_n leap_v like_o mad_a man_n but_o that_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n we_o shall_v glorify_v god_n in_o our_o mortal_a body_n oh_o but_o may_v some_o say_v this_o be_v too_o great_a preciseness_n do_v not_o solomon_n say_v there_o be_v a_o time_n to_o dance_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o so_o unlawful_a as_o you_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v unto_o which_o i_o answer_v solomon_n do_v not_o mean_a by_o this_o place_n that_o there_o be_v any_o time_n for_o a_o filthy_a and_o profane_a mix_v dance_v of_o man_n and_o woman_n together_o but_o that_o dance_v he_o speak_v of_o be_v rejoice_v of_o the_o heart_n in_o praise_v god_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o context_n there_o be_v a_o time_n to_o mourn_v and_o a_o time_n to_o dance_v that_o be_v as_o there_o be_v a_o time_n to_o mourn_v for_o our_o sin_n so_o there_o be_v a_o time_n to_o dance_v or_o rejoice_v for_o the_o unspeakable_a mercy_n show_v unto_o we_o in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o pardon_v of_o our_o sin_n but_o i_o will_v not_o so_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o i_o discommend_v all_o dance_n for_o than_o i_o shall_v seem_v to_o cross_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o lord_n people_n in_o ancient_a 6._o 2_o sam._n 6._o time_n for_o david_n dance_v before_o the_o ark_n praise_v god_n and_o when_o the_o israelite_n be_v 15._o exod._n 15._o pass_v over_o the_o red_a sea_n they_o dance_v and_o praise_v god_n indeed_o if_o our_o dance_n be_v like_o they_o we_o may_v very_o lawful_o dance_v also_o they_o dance_v for_o joy_n and_o thanksgiving_n to_o god_n but_o many_o of_o we_o for_o vain_a glory_n to_o please_v ourselves_o but_o that_o we_o may_v put_v a_o period_n to_o this_o point_n we_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o man_n &_o woman_n may_v lawful_o dance_v for_o the_o recreation_n and_o health_n of_o their_o body_n and_o to_o express_v their_o rejoice_v and_o cheer_v the_o mind_n provide_v that_o each_o sex_n modest_o and_o spare_o dance_v by_o themselves_o without_o any_o filthy_a gesture_n or_o unbeseeming_a behaviour_n the_o next_o delight_n where_o man_n use_v to_o please_v themselves_o be_v in_o cockfighting_n bearbaiting_a bull-baiting_n and_o the_o like_a alas_o what_o a_o misery_n be_v this_o to_o sport_v ourselves_o to_o torment_n and_o vex_v the_o poor_a creature_n which_o be_v subdue_v under_o vanity_n for_o our_o sin_n they_o be_v not_o put_v under_o our_o foot_n to_o that_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v triumph_v in_o their_o misery_n and_o if_o we_o wrong_v they_o god_n that_o take_v it_o as_o do_v to_o himself_o will_v punish_v it_o for_o do_v not_o we_o see_v that_o man_n think_v themselves_o wrong_v in_o their_o cattle_n and_o be_v use_v to_o revenge_v their_o wrong_n as_o david_n do_v the_o wrong_n of_o his_o servant_n by_o hanun_n now_o these_o creature_n be_v god_n servant_n and_o in_o their_o kind_n do_v set_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o take_v pleasure_n to_o see_v they_o rend_v and_o tear_v and_o hurt_v and_o maim_v one_o another_o for_o this_o be_v to_o imitate_v the_o devil_n who_o reioice_v in_o the_o misery_n of_o mankind_n let_v the_o consideration_n hereof_o move_v butcher_n and_o drover_n to_o use_v more_o mercy_n towards_o the_o poor_a creature_n than_o many_o of_o they_o do_v for_o if_o we_o love_v god_n we_o must_v needs_o love_v that_o which_o he_o love_v and_o approve_v now_o he_o love_v the_o creature_n for_o in_o his_o sight_n they_o be_v very_o good_a and_o he_o do_v not_o hate_v the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v make_v a_o search_n into_o pleasure_n in_o general_a and_o have_v examine_v they_o in_o particular_a wherein_o we_o have_v discover_v some_o filthy_a sinful_a pleasure_n not_o worthy_a to_o be_v once_o hear_v of_o among_o those_o which_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o as_o we_o have_v lay_v open_a the_o disease_n so_o we_o have_v prescribe_v antidote_n as_o preseruative_n against_o they_o not_o doubt_v but_o the_o christian_a reader_n by_o god_n blessing_n may_v reap_v some_o benefit_n we_o will_v now_o proceed_v and_o show_v how_o these_o benefit_n may_v be_v use_v so_o that_o god_n may_v have_v the_o honour_n and_o these_o pleasure_n may_v be_v bless_v unto_o us._n which_o that_o they_o may_v be_v so_o we_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v three_o condition_n on_o our_o part_n to_o be_v observe_v and_o keep_v 1._o that_o we_o labour_v for_o the_o grace_n of_o justification_n and_o reconciliation_n unto_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o till_o we_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o we_o can_v have_v no_o comfort_n in_o our_o pleasure_n 2._o if_o we_o will_v have_v these_o pleasure_n lawful_a &_o sanctify_a unto_o we_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o do_v not_o overvalue_n they_o in_o our_o judgement_n nor_o set_v our_o heart_n and_o delight_n upon_o they_o which_o be_v the_o lord_n peculiar_o but_o be_v content_a to_o esteem_v they_o as_o dross_n and_o dung_n in_o respect_n of_o christ_n 3._o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o these_o pleasure_n be_v moderate_v and_o keep_v within_o due_a bound_n we_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o refer_v they_o to_o a_o right_a end_n and_o that_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o our_o own_o salvation_n else_o if_o we_o set_v our_o heart_n upon_o they_o god_n may_v just_o and_o yet_o merciful_o afflict_v we_o with_o his_o heavy_a hand_n and_o lay_v upon_o our_o body_n sickness_n upon_o our_o conscience_n terror_n upon_o our_o reputation_n disgrace_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v serve_v up_o our_o heart_n from_o grovel_v upon_o the_o earth_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v wisdom_n to_o watch_v over_o our_o pleasure_n lest_o they_o encroach_v upon_o those_o time_n wherein_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o when_o we_o be_v to_o perform_v holy_a and_o religious_a duty_n those_o than_o offend_v which_o profane_a the_o lord_n day_n by_o spend_v it_o about_o their_o own_o pleasure_n though_o pethaps_o lawful_a and_o warrantable_a at_o another_o time_n so_o also_o they_o offend_v which_o pamper_n their_o belly_n upon_o this_o day_n whereby_o they_o be_v more_o fit_a to_o sleep_v then_o to_o perform_v any_o holy_a action_n thus_o we_o have_v show_v how_o pleasure_n be_v good_a in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o how_o they_o become_v good_a unto_o we_o it_o remain_v now_o to_o show_v how_o they_o become_v pul-back_n to_o hinder_v we_o in_o our_o spiritual_a race_n and_o to_o steal_v away_o our_o heart_n from_o godliness_n the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n be_v the_o chief_a bait_n with_o which_o satan_n and_o the_o world_n use_v to_o steal_v away_o our_o heart_n from_o god_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o godliness_n for_o when_o man_n become_v lover_n of_o pleasure_n they_o they_o begin_v to_o be_v careless_a &_o negligent_a in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o virtue_n and_o have_v no_o mind_n or_o heart_n to_o any_o godly_a exercise_n but_o be_v whole_o circumvent_v &_o carry_v away_o with_o these_o sinful_a and_o vain_a delight_n which_o make_v the_o mind_n dull_a and_o careless_a of_o good_a action_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v so_o dangerous_a be_v 1._o in_o regard_n of_o their_o nature_n quite_o opposite_a to_o grace_v they_o strive_v to_o cherish_v and_o advance_v that_o which_o true_a piety_n labour_v to_o root_v out_o 2._o in_o regard_n of_o our_o proneness_n to_o embrace_v they_o for_o we_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n carnal_a and_o so_o love_n and_o affect_v those_o thing_n which_o please_v the_o outward_a man_n and_o have_v once_o attain_v they_o we_o do_v too_o much_o delight_n in_o they_o use_v 1_o be_v pleasure_n such_o dangerous_a bait_n to_o draw_v our_o heart_n from_o grace_n 1._o then_o this_o may_v check_v all_o those_o which_o resolve_v to_o prove_v their_o heart_n with_o pleasure_n as_o solomon_n do_v and_o therefore_o 1._o eccles_n 2._o 1._o they_o set_v their_o heart_n upon_o the_o tenter_n &_o stretch_v they_o this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n for_o the_o invent_v of_o variety_n to_o please_v

through_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n it_o do_v more_o hurt_n than_o good_a unless_o our_o heart_n be_v season_v with_o grace_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n brethren_n mistake_v i_o not_o i_o

this_o labyrinth_n sort_n honour_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n we_o will_v make_v a_o distinction_n between_o that_o honour_n which_o be_v lawful_a &_o commendable_a &_o that_o which_o wicked_a 1._o
