of_o the_o gospel_n make_v the_o glorious_a word_n and_o preach_v of_o christ_n to_o be_v blaspheme_v among_o the_o papist_n and_o they_o hinder_v many_o from_o profess_v and_o believe_v the_o same_o

these_o wicked_a abuser_n of_o their_o office_n and_o calling_n the_o lord_n do_v notwithstanding_o as_o we_o here_o see_v call_v home_n to_o a_o consideration_n of_o their_o miserable_a estate_n to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o sight_n of_o their_o sin_n to_o a_o true_a humiliation_n of_o their_o proud_a stomach_n and_o to_o a_o effectual_a repentance_n because_o it_o be_v certain_a and_o sure_a that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n can_v alter_v the_o purpose_n of_o the_o lord_n where_o we_o learn_v that_o as_o god_n do_v suffer_v his_o elect_a for_o a_o time_n to_o be_v seduce_v and_o to_o

yet_o as_o many_o as_o pertain_v to_o god_n election_n have_v the_o time_n and_o mean_n of_o their_o conversion_n appoint_v and_o they_o at_o that_o call_n obey_v as_o we_o see_v here_o this_o

nor_o the_o vile_a calling_n which_o refuse_v not_o to_o think_v upon_o the_o great_a sinner_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o their_o blindness_n but_o use_v love_a and_o fit_a mean_n to_o call_v

not_o long_o be_v forgetful_a neither_o remain_v any_o great_a time_n in_o the_o sink_n of_o his_o sin_n therefore_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o a_o simple_a man_n wrought_v a_o sorrow_n

&_o fear_n that_o be_v in_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o not_o by_o any_o malice_n or_o wilful_a contempt_n therefore_o the_o voice_n of_o a_o cock_n be_v sufficient_a to_o awaken_v he_o to_o make_v he_o see_v the_o foulness_n of_o his_o fin_n and_o to_o lament_v his_o weakness_n with_o bitter_a tear_n but_o of_o the_o contrary_a where_o the_o sin_n be_v settle_v of_o a_o long_a
