as_o great_a vaunt_n as_o we_o listen_v &_o yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v able_a to_o change_v our_o nature_n wherefore_o when_o a_o man_n feel_v himself_o tempt_v with_o pride_n so_o as_o he_o will_v exalt_v himself_o to_o much_o let_v he_o enter_v into_o himself_o and_o consider_v from_o whence_o he_o come_v and_o out_o of_o what_o thing_n god_n take_v he_o if_o but_o only_o our_o foot_n be_v miry_a it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o we_o be_v the_o less_o worth_a and_o if_o the_o mire_n do_v but_o touch_v we_o we_o think_v ourselves_o defile_v yea_o if_o it_o do_v but_o hang_v on_o our_o shoe_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o be_v make_v of_o clay_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o so_o too_o forget_v our_o pedigree_n from_o whence_o we_o come_v namely_o that_o we_o be_v but_o earth_n and_o dust_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o say_n be_v common_a enough_o and_o every_o man_n confess_v it_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n no_o man_n acknowledge_v it_o for_o such_o a_o through_o conceit_n be_v enough_o too_o purge_v we_o of_o all_o pride_n what_o else_o be_v the_o presumption_n and_o overween_a that_o be_v in_o man_n but_o only_o a_o windiness_n because_o they_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o ignorance_n and_o have_v forget_v themselves_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o weigh_v well_o this_o speech_n wherein_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v create_v of_o clay_n or_o mire_n true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v some_o worthiness_n and_o excellency_n in_o our_o nature_n meet_v to_o be_v commend_v if_o we_o be_v thorough_o whole_a and_o sound_o but_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o be_v proud_a of_o it_o and_o see_v we_o be_v so_o corrupt_v in_o adam_n as_o we_o be_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v double_a ashamed_a and_o why_o for_o we_o be_v create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o what_o manner_n of_o image_n be_v it_o now_o it_o be_v a_o disfigure_a one_o we_o be_v so_o deface_v that_o the_o mark_n which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o we_o too_o be_v glorify_v thereby_o be_v turn_v into_o his_o dishonour_n and_o all_o the_o gracious_a gift_n that_o be_v bestow_v upon_o we_o be_v become_v as_o many_o record_n to_o make_v we_o guilty_a before_o god_n because_o we_o defile_v they_o and_o so_o long_o as_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o own_o nature_n we_o do_v but_o abuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o we_o have_v receive_v and_o apply_v they_o unto_o evil_n and_o so_o you_o see_v always_o that_o our_o confusion_n increase_v by_o all_o the_o gift_n which_o god_n have_v bestow_v amongst_o we_o but_o yet_o let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o we_o be_v as_o uncorrupted_a as_o ever_o our_o father_n adam_n be_v at_o the_o first_o shall_v we_o therefore_o presume_v of_o ourselves_o under_o the_o colour_n that_o god_n have_v so_o ennoble_v we_o true_o we_o hold_v all_o thing_n of_o he_o what_o be_v it_o that_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o we_o and_o the_o brute_n beast_n and_o make_v we_o more_o excellent_a have_v we_o it_o through_o our_o own_o purchase_n have_v we_o get_v it_o by_o our_o own_o strength_n have_v we_o it_o by_o inheritance_n from_o our_o forefather_n no._n but_o we_o have_v it_o of_o god_n free_a gift_n through_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n so_o than_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v but_o only_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v in general_o upon_o this_o strain_v where_o eliu_n confess_v himself_o too_o be_v make_v of_o clay_n and_o that_o he_o be_v behold_v to_o god_n for_o his_o life_n &_o breath_n because_o he_o bestow_v they_o upon_o he_o of_o his_o mere_a goodness_n and_o now_o by_o the_o way_n those_o who_o god_n will_v have_v too_o serve_v he_o in_o state_n of_o honour_n aught_o to_o remember_v this_o lesson_n the_o better_a for_o when_o god_n reach_v man_n his_o hand_n and_o set_v they_o in_o some_o degree_n of_o honour_n it_o be_v not_o too_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v vaunt_v themselves_o but_o rather_o acknowledge_v how_o much_o they_o be_v bind_v unto_o he_o and_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o provoke_v to_o honour_v he_o sharpen_v and_o apply_v all_o their_o wit_n and_o affection_n to_o work_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v by_o they_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o candle_n must_v not_o be_v hide_v but_o set_v upon_o a_o table_n or_o cupboard_n that_o it_o may_v give_v light_n over_o all_o the_o house_n those_o then_o to_o who_o god_n have_v show_v the_o favour_n too_o exalt_v they_o to_o any_o high_a or_o worthy_a call_n aught_o to_o be_v the_o more_o inflame_v to_o enlighten_v their_o neighbour_n and_o to_o give_v they_o such_o example_n as_o the_o grace_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v may_v not_o be_v as_o it_o be_v choke_v this_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o in_o this_o second_o place_n and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v general_o that_o man_n can_v yield_v god_n his_o due_a glory_n except_o they_o strip_v themselves_o stark_o naked_a for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o pretend_v to_o reserve_v any_o thing_n too_o ourselves_o be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a the_o glory_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o diminish_v what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o when_o we_o have_v well_o search_v what_o grace_n or_o benefit_n we_o have_v let_v we_o make_v so_o many_o item_n of_o receyt_v in_o our_o account_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o our_o own_o the_o very_a way_n for_o man_n to_o keep_v themselves_o from_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o praise_n be_v to_o endeavour_n to_o know_v themselves_o how_o there_o remain_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n in_o they_o but_o every_o whit_n of_o it_o must_v be_v put_v into_o a_o inventory_n according_a also_o as_o they_o be_v accountable_a for_o it_o afore_o god_n furthermore_o when_o we_o be_v so_o bring_v to_o nothing_o in_o ourselves_o we_o sustain_v no_o loss_n by_o it_o for_o we_o shall_v not_o fail_v to_o be_v apparel_v again_o yea_o and_o if_o we_o be_v true_o join_v unto_o god_n and_o yield_v unto_o he_o his_o due_a praise_n we_o shall_v be_v much_o rich_a than_o those_o that_o be_v so_o full_a of_o overween_a surmize_v themselves_o to_o have_v i_o wot_v not_o what_o a_o kind_n of_o inheritance_n so_o then_o let_v we_o not_o be_v loath_a to_o be_v diminish_v and_o to_o be_v so_o utter_o strip_v from_o all_o glory_n for_o our_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v unfurnished_a of_o any_o goodness_n out_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v so_o abse_z as_o i_o have_v say_v beside_o this_o when_o we_o know_v that_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o as_o it_o be_v give_v we_o from_o above_o let_v we_o apply_v all_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n put_v into_o we_o to_o such_o use_n as_o he_o command_v for_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o endue_v we_o with_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o apply_v than_o too_o good_a use_n or_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v unprofitable_a therefore_o let_v we_o be_v well_o advise_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v be_v present_v and_o as_o it_o be_v offer_v in_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n and_o see_v it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o have_v the_o welfare_n of_o our_o neighbour_n advance_v let_v we_o above_o all_o thing_n have_v a_o regard_n to_o edify_v one_o another_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n here_o and_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o talk_n that_o eliu_n hold_v here_o and_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o he_o have_v say_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v create_v i_o and_o his_o breath_n have_v give_v i_o life_n so_o then_o add_v he_o there_o be_v no_o terribleness_n in_o i_o to_o make_v thou_o afraid_a but_o only_a reason_n shall_v bear_v the_o sway_n here_o eliu_n show_v what_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o good_a teacher_n be_v namely_o to_o look_v well_o to_o himself_o and_o to_o view_v and_o consider_v himself_o before_o he_o open_v his_o mouth_n and_o why_o for_o they_o that_o have_v not_o know_v their_o own_o frailty_n will_v have_v no_o compassion_n of_o their_o neighbour_n and_o when_o they_o fall_v to_o rebuke_v of_o such_o as_o have_v do_v amiss_o they_o go_v to_o it_o with_o such_o rigour_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v rather_o to_o make_v the_o wretched_a night-wanderer_n stray_v further_o than_o to_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o way_n and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o comfort_v they_o have_v no_o skill_n how_o too_o do_v it_o or_o if_o they_o come_v to_o teach_n they_o do_v it_o with_o a_o disdain_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v teach_v

that_o our_o heart_n march_v afore_o and_o that_o we_o have_v a_o pure_a and_o single_a meaning_n to_o give_v ourselves_o over_o unto_o god_n to_o be_v whole_o he_o and_o to_o abhor_v all_o

this_o consist_v in_o two_o thing_n namely_o that_o we_o deal_v with_o uprightness_n &_o equity_n among_o our_o neighbour_n mark_v i_o that_o for_o a_o special_a point_n and_o also_o that_o we_o

if_o god_n send_v any_o plague_n or_o war_n among_o they_o they_o clothe_v themselves_o with_o sackcloth_n and_o cast_v dust_n upon_o their_o head_n why_o do_v they_o so_o it_o be_v not_o to_o feed_v

which_o he_o affirm_v to_o be_v godly_a which_o be_v when_o man_n acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n do_v come_v before_o their_o judge_n and_o there_o condemn_v themselves_o

that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o god_n justice_n consist_v not_o only_o in_o punish_v of_o transgressor_n when_o their_o crime_n be_v notorious_a wherein_o then_o even_o in_o that_o when_o god_n work_v so_o strange_o as_o he_o seem_v unto_o we_o too_o have_v no_o reason_n in_o his_o do_n but_o too_o do_v we_o wrong_n so_o as_o even_o the_o very_a unbeliever_n take_v occasion_n too_o grudge_v

in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o overwhelm_v all_o and_o turn_v the_o earth_n upside_o down_o as_o they_o say_v when_o god_n thunder_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n so_o as_o we_o be_v amaze_v at_o it_o yet_o

in_o that_o behalf_n that_o when_o they_o have_v spew_v up_o their_o blasphemy_n they_o think_v they_o have_v get_v the_o victory_n of_o god_n but_o in_o the_o end_n they_o must_v be_v condemn_v

in_o condemn_v of_o he_o to_o justify_v themselves_o you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o manner_n this_o sentence_n of_o job_n must_v be_v expound_v and_o now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n how_o he_o

that_o if_o god_n hand_n be_v against_o we_o all_o the_o succour_n that_o come_v to_o we_o by_o man_n or_o by_o creature_n must_v needs_o be_v vain_a and_o unavailable_a we_o may_v well_o have_v

a_o great_a temptation_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v able_a to_o dismay_v we_o according_a as_o befall_v to_o job._n but_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o this_o behalf_n first_o let_v we_o be_v

of_o we_o so_o be_v not_o for_o our_o sin_n as_o in_o good_a sooth_n he_o ment_fw-la not_o such_o thing_n towards_o job_n as_o to_o punish_v he_o for_o his_o desert_n wherefore_o do_v he_o it_o then_o he_o intend_v to_o try_v his_o patience_n god_n then_o may_v afflict_v the_o good_a man_n more_o than_o the_o evil_n according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o ezechiell_n endure_v much_o more_o than_o the_o

alas_o he_o come_v far_o short_a then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o whensoever_o we_o endure_v any_o affliction_n the_o same_o be_v god_n punishment_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v bear_v they_o patient_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o we_o have_v deserve_v much_o more_o nevertheless_o let_v we_o be_v bold_a to_o flee_v unto_o our_o god_n pray_v

with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o know_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v expedient_a for_o we_o as_o that_o therewithal_o he_o comfort_v

all_o those_o that_o have_v need_n in_o these_o day_n according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o sore_o the_o whole_a wretched_a world_n be_v plague_v wherefore_o let_v we_o beseech_v our_o good_a god_n to_o

too_o wit_n we_o shall_v but_o tear_v our_o own_o soul_n as_o we_o see_v a_o wretched_a madman_n do_v he_o fling_v himself_o into_o the_o fire_n he_o leap_v out_o of_o window_n and_o he_o hurt_v one_o

that_o we_o see_v it_o behove_v also_o that_o his_o justice_n shall_v have_v his_o course_n this_o be_v very_o true_a howbeit_o he_o mistake_v it_o in_o that_o he_o will_v have_v god_n justice_n to_o

nevertheless_o it_o be_v good_a to_o understand_v his_o meaning_n that_o we_o may_v gather_v the_o instruction_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o his_o say_n be_v shall_v the_o world_n be_v change_v for_o thy_o sake_n that_o be_v too_o say_v how_o understand_v thou_o it_o for_o thou_o reason_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o execute_v his_o justice_n here_o below_a as_o it_o may_v be_v know_v and_o will_v not_o god_n have_v his_o judgement_n know_v forthwith_o fronthe_n time_n that_o he_o have_v establish_v this_o order_n in_o the_o heaven_n the_o air_n and_o the_o earth_n when_o we_o behold_v

all_o question_n to_o what_o end_n have_v god_n set_v out_o so_o fair_a a_o lookingglasse_n in_o all_o his_o creature_n be_v it_o not_o to_o the_o end_n too_o be_v glorify_v at_o our_o hand_n now_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o like_v as_o god_n utter_v his_o virtue_n in_o all_o the_o rest_n so_o also_o will_v he_o have_v we_o privy_a to_o his_o judgement_n this_o be_v true_a in_o some_o respect_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n so_o it_o be_v understand_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v but_o bildad_o stretch_v it_o out_o to_o general_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o as_o oft_o as_o any_o man_n speak_v to_o we_o of_o god_n let_v his_o work_n which_o he_o show_v we_o &_o be_v near_o unto_o we_o lead_v we_o continual_o high_o unto_o he_o as_o for_o example_n the_o scripture_n speak_v oftentimes_o to_o

it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o rain_n &_o fair_a wether_n come_v of_o god_n and_o that_o when_o the_o earth_n yield_v we_o food_n it_o be_v through_o his_o grace_n true_a it_o be_v that_o those_o be_v the_o foundation_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o go_v further_o and_o mount_v up_o high_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o god_n give_v such_o power_n to_o the_o earth_n it_o

of_o god_n work_n and_o that_o it_o proceed_v from_o he_o again_o if_o god_n have_v a_o care_n to_o feed_v man_n in_o this_o world_n think_v we_o that_o he_o which_o be_v a_o father_n in_o that_o

though_o we_o go_v to_o corruption_n see_v he_o show_v such_o power_n in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n beside_o this_o god_n keep_v a_o steady_a hand_n in_o make_v the_o sun_n to_o rise_v &_o go_v

that_o be_v near_o and_o most_o familiar_a to_o we_o nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o too_o have_v skill_n to_o discern_v between_o god_n work_n as_o need_n require_v as_o how_o you_o see_v

therefore_o that_o be_v so_o wed_v too_o worldly_a good_n and_o have_v get_v much_o by_o their_o wicked_a deal_n have_v no_o great_a cause_n too_o boast_v of_o their_o riches_n for_o not_o without_o

they_o look_v upon_o a_o man_n that_o have_v gather_v great_a good_n sure_o not_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v his_o pride_n but_o he_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n too_o set_v his_o

which_o gnaw_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o be_v in_o continual_a anguish_n and_o perplexity_n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v with_o they_o and_o it_o be_v say_v express_o here_o that_o the_o

shall_v break_v their_o bone_n and_o pluck_v out_o the_o maree_o of_o they_o for_o the_o good_n that_o they_o possess_v be_v as_o dear_a to_o they_o as_o their_o own_o life_n very_o far_o be_v they_o

we_o see_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o consider_v god_n justice_n in_o all_o the_o
his_o people_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n again_o we_o know_v how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v general_o that_o the_o man_n be_v happy_a which_o eat_v the_o labour_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n

that_o if_o we_o do_v amiss_o before_o god_n the_o creature_n shall_v be_v against_o we_o and_o bear_v witness_n against_o we_o as_o how_o if_o we_o have_v oppress_v the_o poor_a labourer_n that_o

their_o blood_n now_o it_o be_v a_o great_a cruelty_n in_o we_o when_o we_o think_v not_o how_o the_o earth_n on_o her_o behalf_n have_v open_v her_o bowel_n according_a to_o the_o order_n that_o

scripture_n use_v such_o speech_n we_o see_v the_o hardness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n we_o think_v ourselves_o quite_o discharge_v if_o we_o may_v find_v some_o pretty_a start_a hole_n and_o although_o we_o be_v convict_v of_o they_o before_o god_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o so_o afraid_a as_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o or_o to_o

you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o so_o as_o often_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v after_o that_o manner_n namely_o that_o the_o earth_n cry_v out_o and_o that_o her_o furrow_n ask_v

draw_v we_o to_o it_o by_o some_o violent_a mean_n mark_v well_o that_o point_n so_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o continue_v hard-hearted_a when_o we_o see_v our_o lord_n use_v such_o vehemency_n

see_v then_o that_o eliu_n be_v instruct_v by_o god_n with_o skill_n too_o speak_v as_o we_o have_v see_v the_o same_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a matter_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o think_v

that_o when_o he_o wrought_v in_o a_o heathen_a man_n which_o be_v out_o of_o his_o church_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o notable_a mark_n in_o that_o behalf_n so_o as_o the_o world_n may_v

it_o see_v it_o be_v so_o ill_o receive_v at_o our_o hand_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o seal_v it_o and_o how_o by_o affliction_n you_o see_v they_o that_o all_o the_o adversity_n which_o god_n send_v we_o be_v his_o seal_n howbeit_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o chasticemente_n which_o be_v hard_a &_o painful_a to_o we_o of_o nature_n may_v be_v make_v amiable_a unto_o we_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o which_o eliu_n say_v here_o namely_o that_o god_n intent_n be_v to_o draw_v man_n from_o their_o own_o work_n and_o to_o hide_v their_o pride_n here_o in_o he_o express_v that_o god_n in_o seal_v his_o doctrine_n by_o affliction_n not_o only_o respect_v the_o magnify_n of_o his_o word_n that_o it_o may_v have_v full_a majesty_n but_o also_o therewithal_o procure_v man_n salvation_n the_o end_n therefore_o which_o god_n am_z at_o in_o afflict_v we_o aught_o to_o be_v as_o sugar_n to_o season_n the_o bitterness_n which_o otherwise_o show_v itself_o in_o affliction_n you_o see_v god_n affliction_n be_v cumbersome_a to_o bear_v â–ª_o yea_o true_o â–ª_o for_o we_o shun_v all_o thing_n that_o we_o mislike_v of_o and_o moreover_o god_n wrath_n be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n unto_o we_o now_o whensoever_o god_n punish_v we_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v but_o be_v afraid_a grieve_a and_o distress_a howbeit_o god_n sweeten_v all_o this_o by_o show_v we_o the_o end_n that_o he_o intend_v which_o be_v that_o he_o mean_v to_o frame_v we_o to_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o that_o all_o his_o seek_n be_v to_o make_v we_o follow_v he_o too_o obey_v he_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o eliu_n add_v in_o say_v that_o god_n intend_v too_o draweman_n from_o their_o own_o work_v now_o when_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o work_n he_o mean_v not_o general_o all_o thing_n that_o man_n take_v in_o hand_n â–ª_o but_o the_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v rash_o &_o of_o their_o own_o head_n for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n have_v create_v we_o to_o labour_v and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o be_v idle_a and_o unoccupied_a but_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v apply_v himself_o to_o that_o which_o he_o be_v

which_o he_o shall_v have_v receive_v therefore_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o he_o mean_v not_o too_o draw_v we_o from_o our_o work_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o make_v we_o utter_o good_a for_o nothing_o true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o we_o be_v bring_v low_a with_o sickness_n our_o arm_n and_o leg_n be_v as_o good_a as_o break_a man_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o serve_v we_o the_o world_n must_v be_v cumber_v with_o we_o and_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v no_o service_n but_o yet_o do_v not_o god_n draw_v we_o utter_o from_o all_o work_n for_o patience_n be_v a_o work_n that_o god_n esteem_v above_o all_o other_o thing_n so_o then_o to_o be_v short_a god_n draw_v we_o not_o from_o all_o work_n by_o afflict_v we_o but_o the_o work_n that_o be_v mean_v here_o be_v the_o foolish_a

in_o those_o great_a man_n fail_v not_o to_o be_v also_o in_o the_o lesser_a sort_n for_o these_o play_n the_o scorpion_n which_o writhe_v with_o their_o tail_n to_o cast_v abroad_o their_o poison_n there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o be_v he_o never_o so_o mean_a but_o he_o undertake_v thing_n at_o adventure_n therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o god_n shall_v bring_v we_o back_o after_o that_o manner_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v pluck_v we_o back_o from_o our_o rash_a do_n by_o send_v affliction_n unto_o us._n and_o so_o as_o i_o say_v we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o

we_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v restrain_v by_o force_n therefore_o consider_v that_o man_n do_v of_o their_o own_o nature_n go_v clean_o contrary_a too_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o fling_v

in_o we_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v away_o in_o this_o strain_v but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o which_o eliu_n add_v for_o a_o end_n namely_o that_o god_n intend_v to_o hide_v the_o pride_n of_o man_n for_o herein_o he_o show_v the_o wellspring_n of_o all_o
text_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mind_n well_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n too_o the_o intent_n that_o when_o any_o adversity_n befall_v we_o we_o may_v always_o go_v to_o the_o first_o cause_n true_a it_o be_v that_o diverse_a time_n man_n shall_v do_v we_o we_o wrong_v as_o we_o see_v how_o they_o have_v rob_v job_n of_o all_o his_o good_n man_n than_o may_v spoil_v we_o of_o our_o good_n by_o deceit_n or_o violence_n or_o they_o may_v oppress_v we_o by_o slander_n and_o wicked_a report_n yea_o and_o a_o man_n may_v be_v wrongful_o slay_v in_o these_o thing_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o acknowledge_v god_n providence_n as_o job_n have_v do_v he_o set_v not_o himself_o against_o the_o thief_n which_o have_v rob_v he_o but_o say_v the_o lord_n have_v give_v and_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v away_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o satan_n have_v be_v the_o worker_n of_o it_o but_o job_n know_v that_o god_n which_o make_v the_o world_n do_v always_o watch_v to_o govern_v and_o guide_v it_o as_o be_v show_v here_o and_o therefore_o whensoever_o we_o be_v afflict_v although_o the_o same_o come_v from_o man_n so_o as_o they_o do_v we_o wrong_v and_o outrage_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n hold_v the●_z rein_v of_o the_o bridle_n above_o and_o that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o have_v we_o so_o afflict_v &_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o

long_o since_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v and_o true_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a bear_n sway_v here_o beneath_o let_v we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n justice_n whereof_o come_v it_o that_o thing_n be_v so_o trouble_v and_o that_o some_o man_n attain_v to_o office_n by_o wicked_a bribery_n and_o partiality_n and_o other_o

we_o unworthy_a to_o be_v govern_v by_o he_o give_v the_o bridle_n to_o satan_n you_o see_v then_o that_o all_o the_o wrong_n which_o reign_n be_v god_n scourge_n for_o our_o sin_n as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o when_o the_o prince_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v wicked_a god_n intend_v too_o give_v a_o great_a gloss_n to_o his_o own_o justice_n that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v unto_o we_o how_o it_o be_v he_o that_o afflict_v we_o and_o by_o that_o mean_a punish_v the_o offence_n which_o we_o have_v commit_v show_v that_o we_o deserve_v not_o to_o have_v he_o come_v near_o we_o but_o rather_o to_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v that_o because_o we_o be_v disorder_v and_o have_v

his_o righteousness_n can_v be_v separate_v from_o his_o mightiness_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o now_o herewithal_o eliu_n add_v that_o if_o god_n turn_v his_o heart_n unto_o we_o to_o take_v

of_o hand_n we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o creature_n continue_v no_o long_o in_o their_o be_v than_o it_o please_v god_n to_o maintain_v they_o and_o that_o assoon_o as_o he_o withdraw_v that_o power_n by_o and_o by_o all_o return_v too_o nothing_o for_o a_o conclusion_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v touch_v stand_v fast_o namely_o that_o god_n mighty_a power_n be_v here_o so_o match_v with_o his_o goodness_n as_o we_o ought_v too_o know_v that_o he_o never_o utter_v any_o such_o rigour_n against_o we_o but_o that_o he_o therewithal_o also_o spare_v we_o because_o we_o shall_v

pray_v you_o what_o bond_n be_v there_o betwixt_o he_o and_o we_o furthermore_o what_o be_v our_o strength_n what_o mean_n have_v we_o none_o at_o all_o then_o must_v we_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o god_n shall_v preserve_v the_o world_n but_o for_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v good_a and_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o move_v by_o any_o

and_o gracious_a goodness_n by_o experience_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o only_a life_n which_o we_o have_v be_v a_o sufficient_a record_n how_o gracious_a and_o merciful_a god_n be_v towards_o

because_o he_o love_v we_o also_o we_o have_v one_o other_o very_a necessary_a exhortation_n too_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n which_o be_v that_o know_v our_o own_o frailty_n we_o shall_v learn_v to_o put_v our_o life_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o not_o think_v to_o live_v or_o continue_v our_o state_n by_o our_o own_o power_n but_o suffer_v god_n to_o govern_v we_o as_o it_o please_v he_o and_o be_v always_o ready_a too_o depart_v hence_o when_o he_o think_v it_o good_a too_o take_v we_o out_o of_o this_o world_n furthermore_o what_o be_v the_o mean_a to_o live_v well_o it_o be_v to_o know_v that_o insomuch_o as_o god_n possess_v we_o and_o quicken_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v hold_v all_o of_o he_o too_o the_o end_n to_o be_v give_v whole_o too_o his_o service_n both_o in_o live_v and_o die_v be_v this_o doctrine_n wellprint_v in_o our_o heart_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v such_o dullard_n as_o we_o be_v for_o as_o for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n when_o they_o rise_v in_o the_o morning_n do_v they_o bethink_v they_o too_o put_v themselves_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o if_o they_o do_v it_o for_o fashion_n

be_v the_o keeper_n of_o it_o and_o the_o scripture_n say_v express_o that_o if_o he_o withdraw_v his_o spirit_n and_o breath_n we_o die_v all_o so_o long_o then_o as_o god_n will_v preserve_v we_o let_v we_o bold_o defy_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o our_o enemy_n true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o look_v but_o upon_o the_o rage_n of_o man_n it_o shall_v seem_v that_o they_o be_v as_o raven_a

be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o challenge_v and_o reserve_v too_o himself_o the_o power_n of_o withdraw_v the_o breath_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v content_v

if_o eliu_n have_v speak_v of_o song_n in_o the_o day_n time_n it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o great_a a_o magnify_n of_o god_n grace_n for_o a_o day_n time_n man_n follow_v their_o work_n then_o do_v

moreover_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o hear_v it_o thunder_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sound_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o god._n for_o our_o wit_n must_v not_o frisk_v and_o wanze_v away_o in_o the_o air_n as_o though_o the_o thunder_n be_v engender_v there_o without_o the_o commandment_n of_o a_o superior_a master_n then_o let_v we_o come_v unto_o god_n and_o

have_v to_o remember_v but_o if_o we_o can_v perceive_v that_o god_n move_v man_n heart_n by_o lightning_n rain_n and_o tempest_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v doublefolde_v

strike_v we_o in_o fear_n but_o comfort_n we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o soever_o god_n word_n be_v preach_v the_o end_n whereto_o it_o tend_v be_v too_o make_v we_o feel_v our_o want_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n word_n be_v term_v a_o two_o edge_a sword_n to_o examine_v man_n and_o to_o search_v all_o their_o thought_n and_o affection_n and_o for_o the_o same_o

word_n shall_v never_o prevail_v in_o we_o we_o must_v renounce_v ourselves_o and_o whatsoever_o be_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n must_v be_v beat_v down_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n

it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o perceiverance_n shall_v be_v enough_o to_o condemn_v we_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o although_o man_n have_v never_o hear_v either_o law_n or_o

and_o wilful_a stubbornness_n and_o undoubted_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v torment_v and_o as_o it_o be_v rack_v the_o great_a despiser_n of_o his_o majesty_n that_o ever_o be_v by_o his_o

that_o spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n they_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n in_o heaven_n so_o then_o this_o voice_n whereof_o mention_v be_v make_v here_o will_v be_v

come_v to_o the_o comparison_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v that_o if_o god_n thunder_v in_o the_o air_n with_o a_o confuse_a sound_n be_v a_o sufficient_a speak_v too_o condemn_v the_o unbeliever_n and_o his_o make_n of_o the_o lightning_n to_o flash_v abroad_o be_v a_o sufficient_a light_n too_o condemn_v the_o blind_a what_o shall_v follow_v when_o he_o speak_v gentle_o and_o

be_v for_o we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o in_o the_o psalm_n that_o i_o have_v allege_v it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n every_o man_n shall_v give_v god_n glory_n for_o after_o that_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v of_o this_o mighty_a voice_n of_o god_n which_o make_v the_o mountain_n too_o remove_v the_o rock_n too_o melt_v away_o the_o earth_n too_o quake_v the_o

add_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v glorify_v in_o his_o temple_n and_o how_o then_o when_o the_o lightning_n flash_n through_o the_o wing_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v to_o say_v over_o all_o the_o

but_o only_o to_o convince_v they_o utter_o too_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v not_o pretend_v any_o trifle_a excuse_n that_o they_o know_v not_o god_n nor_o his_o majesty_n they_o know_v he_o sufficient_o too_o their_o utter_a condemn_v but_o as_o for_o we_o god_n intent_n be_v too_o draw_v we_o too_o salvation_n when_o he_o speak_v unto_o we_o for_o there_o he_o thunder_v not_o too_o

of_o god_n also_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n make_v the_o cloud_n to_o labour_n to_o moisten_v the_o earth_n ▪_o namely_o as_o though_o they_o clyve_v asunder_o and_o empty_v themselves_o that_o

of_o nature_n be_v nought_o else_o than_o a_o proof_n of_o the_o obedience_n which_o all_o creature_n both_o above_o and_o beneath_o do_v yield_v unto_o god_n we_o as_o have_v be_v say_v already_o

of_o it_o with_o the_o variety_n of_o change_n as_o for_o example_n peradventure_o god_n too_o chastise_v we_o send_v some_o dearth_n now_o the_o dearth_n come_v of_o some_o one_o of_o the_o cause_n

it_o by_o his_o mighty_a power_n thereupon_o he_o say_v further_a that_o god_n have_v garnish_v the_o heaven_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o shape_v the_o slippery_a serpent_n when_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o serpent_n he_o mean_v not_o any_o of_o the_o serpent_n that_o be_v on_o earth_n for_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v he_o have_v match_v they_o with_o the_o heaven_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o number_n of_o star_n which_o be_v common_o call_v the_o serpent_n because_o those_o star_n stand_v in_o a_o writhe_v row_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o serpent_n that_o wrythe_v his_o tail_n by_o reason_n of_o that_o wrthe_n that_o figure_n or_o shape_n have_v be_v term_v by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o snake_n and_o that_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n may_v the_o better_o discern_v god_n work_v asunder_o one_o from_o another_o true_a it_o be_v that_o folk_n have_v intermeddle_v fable_n yea_o even_o wicked_a fable_n for_o the_o devil_n have_v always_o have_v this_o knack_n with_o he_o to_o turn_v man_n aside_o from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n where_o they_o have_v a_o singular_a avouchment_v of_o god_n majesty_n nevertheless_o the_o very_a first_o use_v of_o the_o term_n serpent_n or_o snake_n be_v but_o only_o to_o teach_v man_n to_o look_v the_o better_a upon_o the_o order_n of_o the_o star_n again_o when_o as_o job_n say_v here_o that_o god_n garnish_v the_o heaven_n by_o his_o spirit_n under_o one_o kind_n he_o comprehend_v the_o whole_a and_o what_o be_v those_o ornament_n what_o be_v those_o beautify_n they_o be_v say_v he_o the_o star_n which_o give_v fashion_n to_o the_o heaven_n ▪_o for_o without_o they_o it_o be_v a_o waste_a thing_n &_o our_o sight_n shall_v be_v confound_v but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v the_o sun_n by_o day_n and_o the_o star_n by_o night_n thereby_o we_o know_v the_o better_a that_o god_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o have_v make_v the_o welkin_n only_o in_o respect_n that_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o too_o have_v air_n whereby_o to_o breathe_v and_o also_o brightness_n too_o give_v give_v we_o light_v from_o above_o but_o also_o mean_v moreover_o to_o add_v ornament_n thereunto_o therefore_o his_o set_n of_o the_o star_n in_o the_o sky_n and_o his_o deck_v of_o it_o with_o such_o beauty_n be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o provoke_v to_o magnify_v he_o in_o his_o goodness_n wisdom_n and_o mighty_a power_n and_o final_o that_o we_o shall_v glorify_v he_o by_o all_o mean_n so_o we_o see_v now_o that_o job_n set_v of_o god_n work_n before_o we_o be_v to_o witness_v that_o he_o on_o his_o part_n have_v not_o live_v in_o the_o world_n as_o the_o heathenish_a and_o scornful_a sort_n do_v which_o yield_v god_n no_o reverence_n ne_o acknowledge_v his_o power_n and_o may_v too_o honour_v the_o same_o but_o that_o he_o have_v print_v it_o every_o whit_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o mind_n herewithal_o also_o we_o be_v warn_v not_o to_o shut_v our_o eye_n when_o god_n show_v himself_o after_o that_o fashion_n unto_o we_o lest_o the_o same_o unthankfulness_n be_v cast_v in_o our_o tooth_n namely_o that_o we_o be_v worse_o than_o brute_n beast_n for_o our_o enjoy_n of_o god_n inestimable_a benefit_n without_o yield_v he_o any_o honour_n or_o service_n for_o they_o and_o now_o for_o a_o conclusion_n job_n say_v that_o the_o outleete_n of_o his_o way_n be_v there_o and_o yet_o what_o piece_n of_o they_o do_v we_o conceive_v or_o who_o be_v he_o that_o can_v comprehend_v his_o dreadful_a power_n loe_o here_o a_o conclusion_n that_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v well_o mark_v according_a to_o the_o great_a weight_n thereof_o for_o it_o be_v too_o no_o purpose_n for_o we_o to_o behold_v god_n work_n except_o we_o conclude_v determinate_o that_o they_o pass_v all_o our_o understanding_n and_o ●eathe_v &_o that_o they_o be_v so_o great_a &_o high_a thing_n as_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v dazzle_v at_o they_o for_o when_o a_o man_n apply_v his_o whole_a
