thus_o when_o thou_o look_v upon_o god_n in_o his_o greatness_n first_o be_v thou_o able_a to_o say_v i_o have_v not_o the_o understanding_n of_o a_o man_n in_o i_o that_o be_v can_v thou_o see_v the_o emptiness_n and_o vanity_n of_o thy_o own_o knowledge_n can_v thou_o learn_v not_o to_o murmur_v against_o god_n in_o any_o of_o his_o way_n can_v thou_o learn_v to_o captivate_v and_o bring_v under_o thy_o thought_n to_o the_o way_n of_o god_n providence_n can_v thou_o do_v as_o job_n do_v say_v i_o have_v heretofore_o take_v exception_n and_o murmur_v and_o be_v discontent_v and_o wonder_v at_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n i_o have_v do_v this_o once_o or_o twice_o but_o now_o i_o will_v do_v so_o no_o more_o job_n know_v god_n as_o well_o as_o we_o know_v he_o but_o when_o god_n speak_v out_o of_o the_o whirlwind_n and_o make_v know_v his_o greatness_n to_o he_o this_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o it_o to_o job_n though_o he_o have_v speak_v once_o or_o twice_o that_o be_v before_o that_o time_n yet_o now_o he_o will_v do_v it_o no_o more_o can_v thou_o be_v content_a to_o see_v the_o lord_n go_v all_o the_o way_n that_o he_o do_v set_v up_o evil_a man_n and_o put_v down_o good_a man_n cause_v the_o church_n to_o wither_v and_o the_o enemy_n to_o prosper_v can_v thou_o see_v all_o this_o and_o yet_o sanctify_v he_o in_o thy_o heart_n be_v thou_o able_a to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v holy_a in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o in_o this_o to_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n and_o thy_o own_o folly_n and_o weakness_n can_v thou_o say_v that_o thou_o be_v but_o dust_n and_o ash_n and_o to_o say_v it_o in_o good_a earnest_n can_v thou_o look_v on_o thyself_o as_o on_o a_o vile_a creature_n as_o peter_n do_v say_v go_v from_o i_o for_o i_o be_o a_o sinful_a man_n then_o i_o will_v believe_v that_o thou_o have_v see_v god_n in_o his_o greatness_n i_o will_v believe_v that_o thou_o have_v see_v he_o in_o his_o all-sufficiency_n that_o he_o have_v represent_v himself_o by_o his_o spirit_n into_o thy_o soul_n in_o some_o measure_n when_o thou_o see_v these_o effect_n in_o thy_o soul_n when_o thou_o see_v thy_o ignorance_n and_o thy_o vileness_n when_o thou_o see_v what_o a_o empty_a creature_n thou_o be_v sure_o this_o be_v another_o thing_n by_o which_o thou_o may_v judge_v whether_o thou_o have_v experience_n whether_o thou_o have_v practise_v this_o doctrine_n that_o we_o have_v deliver_v of_o the_o all-sufficiency_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o emptiness_n of_o the_o creature_n moreover_o if_o god_n be_v all-sufficient_a why_o be_v we_o then_o so_o ready_a to_o knock_v at_o other_o man_n door_n why_o be_v we_o then_o so_o ready_a to_o go_v to_o the_o creature_n to_o seek_v help_n and_o comfort_n and_o counsel_n from_o it_o and_o to_o knock_v so_o little_a at_o his_o door_n by_o prayer_n and_o seek_v to_o he_o for_o if_o he_o be_v all-sufficient_a thou_o shall_v be_v abundant_a in_o prayer_n thou_o will_v take_v little_a time_n to_o look_v to_o other_o thy_o chief_a business_n will_v be_v to_o look_v to_o he_o not_o only_o in_o pray_v to_o he_o but_o in_o serve_v he_o and_o please_v he_o we_o knock_v at_o his_o door_n as_o well_o by_o the_o duty_n of_o obedience_n as_o by_o prayer_n and_o seek_v to_o he_o if_o thou_o think_v he_o to_o be_v all-sufficient_a why_o do_v thou_o not_o do_v this_o again_o if_o thou_o think_v he_o to_o be_v all-sufficient_a why_o be_v thou_o not_o content_a to_o be_v at_o his_o immediate_a find_n put_v the_o case_n he_o deprive_v thou_o of_o all_o thing_n else_o and_o do_v with_o thou_o as_o parent_n do_v with_o their_o child_n who_o give_v they_o not_o a_o penny_n in_o their_o purse_n but_o tell_v they_o they_o will_v provide_v for_o they_o why_o be_v thou_o not_o content_a that_o god_n shall_v do_v so_o what_o if_o he_o strip_v thou_o of_o all_o thy_o wealth_n of_o thy_o liberty_n of_o thy_o friend_n so_o that_o thou_o can_v look_v for_o nothing_o but_o immediate_o at_o his_o hand_n to_o feed_v thou_o as_o he_o feed_v the_o raven_n and_o the_o lion_n if_o he_o be_v all-sufficient_a why_o do_v thou_o not_o trust_v in_o he_o in_o such_o a_o case_n and_o rest_n upon_o he_o again_o last_o if_o thou_o think_v god_n to_o be_v all-sufficient_a why_o do_v thou_o not_o when_o thou_o have_v any_o service_n or_o duty_n to_o do_v either_o belong_v to_o god_n or_o man_n why_o do_v thou_o not_o resolve_v upon_o the_o do_n of_o it_o without_o look_v to_o the_o consequence_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v for_o my_o belove_a if_o he_o be_v all-sufficient_a than_o all_o our_o care_n shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o to_o do_v our_o duty_n and_o to_o leave_v the_o success_n to_o he_o a_o servant_n that_o think_v his_o master_n be_v able_a and_o willing_a to_o give_v he_o wage_n and_o provide_v for_o he_o sufficient_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o day_n or_o the_o year_n or_o the_o end_n of_o his_o service_n he_o will_v be_v careful_a to_o do_v his_o work_n without_o look_v to_o his_o wage_n without_o make_v provision_n for_o himself_o and_o so_o if_o thou_o believe_v god_n to_o be_v all-sufficient_a thou_o will_v seek_v no_o more_o but_o to_o find_v out_o what_o thy_o duty_n be_v what_o rule_n thou_o ought_v to_o walk_v by_o what_o service_n thou_o owe_v to_o man_n in_o such_o a_o case_n how_o to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n in_o such_o a_o business_n in_o such_o a_o straight_o in_o such_o a_o difficulty_n thou_o will_v set_v thy_o wit_n a-work_o to_o find_v out_o this_o but_o when_o thy_o wit_n be_v overrun_v thy_o duty_n and_o thou_o look_v to_o the_o consequence_n if_o i_o do_v this_o and_o this_o this_o will_v befall_v i_o that_o be_v a_o sign_n thou_o think_v not_o god_n to_o be_v all-sufficient_a thou_o think_v thy_o master_n can_v provide_v for_o thou_o but_o thou_o think_v i_o shall_v be_v poor_a when_o i_o have_v do_v his_o service_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v provide_v for_o myself_o i_o shall_v want_v comfort_n i_o shall_v have_v enemy_n come_v in_o upon_o i_o if_o thy_o master_n be_v a_o sun_n a_o shield_n and_o a_o buckler_n and_o a_o exceed_o great_a reward_n and_o thou_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v so_o thou_o will_v find_v out_o only_o thy_o duty_n and_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o the_o consequence_n be_v so_o you_o see_v the_o three_o man_n do_v we_o have_v resolve_v that_o we_o will_v not_o worship_v thy_o image_n and_o whereas_o you_o tell_v we_o of_o cast_v we_o into_o a_o burn_a fiery_a furnace_n that_o we_o care_v not_o for_o god_n be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o they_o do_v see_v god_n all-sufficiency_n and_o therefore_o they_o do_v the_o duty_n certain_o belovid_n in_o any_o difficult_a case_n no_o man_n will_v do_v his_o duty_n except_o he_o be_v persuade_v that_o god_n be_v all-sufficient_a those_o three_o man_n will_v never_o have_v refuse_v to_o worship_v the_o idol_n except_o they_o can_v have_v say_v and_o think_v in_o their_o heart_n god_n be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o thy_o hand_n o_o king_n this_o they_o say_v and_o resolve_v to_o do_v and_o so_o daniel_n resolve_v to_o do_v his_o duty_n and_o not_o to_o go_v a_o step_n out_o of_o the_o path_n beside_o the_o rule_n well_o he_o shall_v be_v cast_v into_o the_o lion_n den_n yet_o he_o keep_v his_o resolution_n firm_a it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o to_o do_v his_o duty_n for_o the_o consequence_n of_o it_o he_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n for_o he_o know_v he_o be_v all-sufficient_a you_o see_v god_n watch_v over_o they_o and_o deliver_v they_o all_o and_o so_o likewise_o in_o refuse_v to_o eat_v of_o the_o king_n meat_n daniel_n will_v not_o pollute_v himself_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n it_o may_v have_v cost_v he_o life_n for_o aught_o he_o know_v if_o he_o have_v look_v on_o the_o his_o consequence_n but_o he_o resolve_v to_o do_v it_o say_v the_o text_n he_o resolve_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o do_v it_o &_o commit_v it_o to_o god_n and_o we_o see_v in_o all_o these_o three_o case_n god_n show_v himself_o sufficient_a so_o he_o do_v when_o we_o look_v to_o our_o duty_n sincere_o and_o faithful_o when_o we_o do_v it_o and_o look_v not_o to_o the_o consequence_n he_o be_v then_o all-sufficient_a and_o will_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o and_o the_o like_a we_o see_v in_o the_o case_n of_o mordecai_n he_o think_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o bow_v to_o hamman_n who_o be_v a_o amalekite_n he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o well_o but_o they_o shall_v all_o be_v destroy_v he_o and_o all_o the_o jew_n he_o tell_v hester_n
