call_v himself_o the_o quire_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o if_o shall_v brag_v of_o his_o liberality_n thus_o he_o which_o be_v evil_a itself_o do_v shun_v the_o name_n because_o he_o will_v not_o be_v hate_v and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o man_n call_v evil_a good_a and_o will_v be_v count_v honest_a though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o lewd_a for_o so_o will_v the_o devil_n but_o as_o god_n never_o call_v the_o devil_n but_o by_o those_o name_n which_o the_o devil_n hate_v so_o he_o never_o call_v sinner_n by_o those_o name_n which_o they_o call_v themselves_o for_o if_o you_o observe_v the_o scripture_n there_o be_v no_o name_n of_o the_o devil_n but_o in_o some_o place_n of_o scripture_n or_o other_o the_o wicked_a be_v call_v by_o the_o same_o name_n he_o be_v call_v a_o liar_n &_o they_o be_v call_v liar_n he_o be_v call_v a_o tempter_n &_o they_o be_v call_v tempter_n he_o be_v call_v a_o murderer_n &_o they_o be_v call_v murderer_n he_o be_v call_v a_o slanderer_n and_o they_o be_v call_v slanderer_n he_o be_v call_v a_o viper_n &_o they_o be_v call_v viper_n he_o be_v call_v a_o lion_n &_o they_o be_v call_v lion_n he_o be_v call_v a_o wolf_n and_o they_o be_v call_v wolf_n he_o be_v call_v a_o serpent_n and_o they_o be_v call_v serpent_n thus_o god_n will_v they_o that_o shall_v be_v damn_v shall_v have_v the_o name_n of_o he_o which_o be_v damn_v to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n now_o none_o of_o the_o devil_n name_n be_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o therefore_o liar_n &_o tempter_n and_o slanderer_n and_o murderer_n and_o defamer_n be_v not_o therefore_o these_o be_v the_o devil_n name_n this_o i_o note_v to_o show_v you_o how_o deadly_a god_n do_v hate_v sin_n that_o neither_o the_o devil_n nor_o his_o follower_n can_v ever_o get_v a_o good_a name_n of_o he_o for_o all_o his_o compass_n he_o can_v never_o compass_v this_o to_o shuffle_v any_o praise_n of_o himself_o into_o this_o book_n of_o life_n for_o he_o do_v not_o compass_v heaven_n but_o earth_n though_o he_o will_v compass_v both_o the_o devil_n himself_o do_v tell_v we_o here_o that_o he_o compass_v &_o he_o tell_v we_o not_o why_o he_o compass_v but_o his_o name_n satan_n that_o go_v before_o which_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o do_v tell_v we_o why_o he_o compass_v because_o it_o signify_v a_o adversary_n it_o give_v we_o to_o understande_v that_o he_o compass_v the_o earth_n like_o a_o adversary_n god_n do_v compass_v the_o earth_n like_o a_o wall_n to_o defend_v it_o the_o devil_n compass_v the_o earth_n like_o a_o enemy_n to_o besiege_v it_o for_o enemy_n be_v his_o name_n he_o be_v envy_n even_o to_o the_o name_n three_o thing_n i_o note_v wherefore_o the_o devil_n may_v be_v say_v to_o compass_v the_o earth_n first_o because_o he_o tempt_v all_o man_n second_o because_o he_o tempt_v to_o all_o sin_n three_o because_o he_o tempt_v by_o all_o mean_n so_o that_o whosoever_o sin_v wherein_o soever_o he_o offend_v whereby_o so_o ever_o he_o be_v allure_v the_o sin_n and_o the_o sinner_n and_o the_o bait_n be_v compass_v and_o contrive_v by_o this_o archpolitique_a which_o call_v himself_o a_o compasser_n many_o have_v their_o name_n for_o naught_o because_o they_o do_v nothing_o for_o they_o like_o laban_n image_n which_o be_v call_v god_n though_o they_o be_v but_o block_n but_o the_o devil_n deserve_v his_o name_n he_o be_v not_o call_v a_o tempter_n and_o a_o liar_n and_o a_o slanderer_n and_o a_o accuser_n and_o a_o deceiver_n and_o a_o murderer_n and_o a_o compasser_n in_o vain_a like_a saint_n george_n which_o be_v always_o on_o horseback_n and_o never_o ride_v but_o he_o will_v do_v more_o than_o by_o his_o office_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o other_o be_v call_v officer_n because_o they_o have_v a_o office_n but_o he_o be_v call_v enemy_n because_o he_o show_v his_o envy_n other_o be_v call_v justicer_n because_o they_o shall_v do_v justice_n but_o he_o be_v call_v a_o tempter_n because_o he_o practise_v temptation_n other_o be_v call_v pastor_n because_o they_o shall_v feed_v but_o he_o be_v call_v a_o devourer_n because_o he_o do_v devour_v and_o we_o call_v he_o a_o compasser_n because_o that_o he_o do_v compass_v ever_o since_o he_o fall_v from_o heaven_n he_o have_v live_v like_o cain_n which_o can_v rest_v in_o a_o place_n but_o be_v a_o runagate_n over_o the_o earth_n from_o door_n to_o door_n from_o man_n to_o man_n beg_v for_o sin_n as_o the_o starve_a soul_n beg_v for_o bread_n he_o will_v have_v dwell_v in_o heaven_n and_o not_o be_v compass_v the_o earth_n he_o shall_v have_v sing_v with_o the_o angel_n &_o not_o be_v quarel_v with_o man_n but_o he_o have_v change_v his_o call_n &_o be_v become_v a_o compasser_n that_o be_v to_o lay_v fetter_n upon_o man_n as_o god_n have_v fetter_v he_o leave_v they_o shall_v ascend_v to_o the_o place_n from_o whence_o he_o be_v fall_v therefore_o in_o this_o the_o liar_n speak_v truth_n when_o he_o say_v i_o come_v from_o compass_v the_o earth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v to_o god_n i_o come_v from_o the_o slaughter_n of_o thy_o servant_n not_o to_o ask_v forgevenes_n for_o all_o the_o soul_n which_o he_o have_v slay_v already_o but_o to_o get_v a_o commission_n that_o god_n will_v make_v he_o knight_n marshal_n over_o the_o world_n to_o slay_v and_o kill_v as_o many_o as_o he_o hate_v like_o the_o bramble_n which_o set_v itself_o on_o fire_n first_o and_o then_o fire_v all_o the_o wood_n peter_n describe_v the_o devil_n walk_n say_v that_o he_o go_v about_o the_o devil_n say_v that_o he_o go_v a_o compass_n peter_n put_v in_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v the_o devil_n leave_v out_o devour_v and_o say_v no_o more_o but_o that_o he_o compass_v this_o circular_a walk_n be_v particular_a to_o the_o devil_n and_o therefore_o may_v be_v call_v the_o devil_n circuit_n all_o other_o creature_n go_v forward_o but_o the_o devil_n go_v about_o which_o may_v well_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o crafty_a devil_n because_o to_o go_v about_o be_v common_o take_v to_o undermine_v when_o he_o mean_v he_o will_v destroy_v you_o than_o we_o say_v he_o will_v compass_v you_o so_o when_o the_o devil_n compass_v then_o beware_v least_o he_o devour_v for_o the_o devil_n go_v about_o man_n as_o the_o fowler_n go_v about_o the_o lark_n to_o snare_v she_o as_o the_o thief_n go_v about_o the_o house_n to_o rob_v it_o as_o the_o ivy_n go_v about_o the_o oak_n to_o kill_v it_o the_o devil_n walk_n be_v a_o siege_n which_o go_v about_o but_o to_o find_v a_o issue_n to_o go_v in_o for_o he_o go_v about_o but_o until_o he_o can_v get_v in_o to_o be_v a_o possessor_n he_o be_v content_a to_o be_v a_o compasser_n the_o first_o name_n the_o devil_n have_v in_o scripture_n be_v a_o serpent_n he_o be_v a_o serpent_n and_o so_o be_v his_o way_n like_o a_o serpent_n which_o wind_v himself_o like_o a_o circle_n as_o god_n be_v say_v to_o make_v a_o hedge_n about_o man_n so_o here_o the_o devil_n be_v say_v to_o make_v a_o hedge_n about_o man_n but_o this_o be_v a_o hedge_n of_o temptation_n and_o that_o be_v a_o hedge_n against_o temptation_n as_o david_n say_v the_o angel_n compass_v we_o so_o may_v he_o say_v the_o devil_n compass_n us._n satan_n compass_v and_o man_n be_v compass_v satan_n be_v like_o the_o circumference_n and_o man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o centre_n that_o be_v temptation_n go_v round_o about_o he_o and_o he_o dwell_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o thus_o much_o of_o compass_v now_o what_o he_o do_v compass_v i_o come_v from_o compass_v the_o earth_n this_o be_v the_o devil_n pilgrimage_n from_o one_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o the_o other_o and_o then_o to_o the_o other_o again_o and_o then_o back_o again_o like_o a_o wander_a merchant_n which_o seek_v his_o traffic_n where_o he_o can_v speed_v cheap_a i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o traveller_n which_o have_v go_v about_o the_o earth_n but_o i_o never_o hear_v of_o any_o that_o have_v see_v all_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o this_o old_a pilgrim_n satan_n which_o have_v be_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o paradise_n and_o in_o the_o earth_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n and_o in_o hell_n and_o yet_o have_v not_o do_v his_o walk_n but_o like_o the_o sun_n which_o course_v about_o the_o earth_n every_o day_n so_o there_o be_v no_o day_n but_o satan_n see_v every_o man_n upon_o earth_n as_o a_o compass_n have_v no_o end_n so_o he_o make_v no_o end_n of_o compass_v because_o he_o be_v such_o a_o compasser_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o paul_n call_v he_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n not_o a_o piece_n of_o the_o world_n as_o

they_o which_o have_v faith_n and_o they_o which_o have_v no_o faith_n they_o which_o have_v no_o faith_n fall_v like_o a_o elephant_n which_o when_o he_o be_v down_o rise_v not_o again_o they_o which_o have_v faith_n do_v but_o trip_v and_o stumble_v fall_v and_o rise_v again_o their_o fall_n do_v teach_v they_o to_o stand_v their_o weakness_n do_v teach_v they_o strength_n their_o sin_n do_v teach_v they_o repentance_n their_o frailnes_n teach_v they_o constancy_n as_o peter_n be_v better_a after_o his_o denial_n than_o he_o be_v before_o judas_n do_v never_o stand_v but_o seem_v to_o stand_v the_o disciple_n know_v not_o that_o he_o be_v a_o thief_n and_o intend_a treason_n for_o they_o ask_v be_v it_o i_o be_v it_o i_o christ_n know_v as_o it_o appear_v when_o he_o give_v he_o the_o sop_n and_o say_v that_o which_o thou_o do_v do_v quick_o if_o ever_o he_o have_v stand_v he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v term_v the_o son_n of_o perdition_n many_o do_v seem_v to_o the_o world_n to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o church_n but_o john_n say_v they_o be_v never_o of_o the_o church_n mean_v that_o if_o they_o have_v be_v of_o the_o church_n they_o can_v not_o have_v go_v out_o of_o it_o for_o the_o true_a vine_n can_v not_o leave_v her_o grape_n nor_o the_o olive_n her_o fatness_n nor_o the_o fig_n three_fw-mi her_o sweetness_n so_o they_o which_o stand_v in_o the_o faith_n do_v not_o fall_v away_o but_o seem_v to_o fall_v as_o hypocrite_n seem_v to_o stand_v the_o best_a man_n have_v have_v their_o slip_n but_o always_o they_o rise_v again_o as_o though_o they_o have_v sin_v to_o teach_v we_o repentance_n therefore_o their_o sin_n be_v write_v which_o else_o shall_v have_v be_v conceal_v for_o their_o honour_n for_o they_o be_v not_o register_v in_o spite_n to_o disgrace_v they_o but_o to_o admonish_v we_o that_o when_o we_o see_v such_o a_o field_n of_o blood_n like_o carcase_n which_o the_o dragon_n have_v slay_v we_o may_v fear_v to_o set_v upon_o he_o unarm_v lest_o we_o be_v slay_v like_o other_o as_o solomon_n behold_v the_o field_n of_o the_o slothful_a which_o be_v full_a of_o thistle_n and_o weed_n prou._n 24.30_o so_o we_o must_v behold_v the_o sin_n of_o other_o to_o learn_v by_o they_o i_o pass_v by_o say_v solomon_n and_o consider_v it_o well_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o and_o receive_v instruction_n this_o note_n be_v in_o the_o margin_n of_o your_o bibles_n that_o i_o may_v learn_v by_o another_o man_n fault_n so_o solomon_n show_v how_o we_o shall_v look_v upon_o other_o man_n fault_n if_o we_o behold_v and_o consider_v they_o and_o look_v upon_o they_o to_o receive_v instruction_n as_o solomon_n do_v then_o do_v we_o behold_v and_o consider_v and_o look_v upon_o they_o well_o or_o else_o as_o abraham_n may_v see_v the_o smoke_n of_o sodom_n but_o lot_n may_v not_o see_v it_o so_o they_o which_o can_v make_v use_n of_o sin_n may_v hear_v and_o see_v &_o speak_v of_o error_n of_o man_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o they_o because_o they_o be_v as_o a_o spider_n which_o gather_v nothing_o but_o poison_n do_v not_o many_o pervert_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o patriarch_n and_o apply_v they_o to_o themselves_o as_o they_o shall_v apply_v their_o doctrine_n but_o these_o thing_n say_v paul_n be_v not_o write_v for_o our_o imitation_n but_o for_o our_o admonition_n that_o be_v for_o a_o cave_n at_o least_o we_o do_v the_o like_a for_o they_o repent_v that_o which_o they_o do_v and_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o which_o hey_n repent_v christ_n say_v follow_v i_o without_o limit_n but_o paul_n say_v be_v you_o follower_n of_o i_o as_o i_o follow_v christ_n so_o we_o must_v follow_v the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n as_o they_o follow_v christ_n lest_o follow_v that_o which_o they_o repent_v we_o sustain_v or_o suffer_v that_o which_o they_o escape_v this_o be_v a_o lesson_n for_o all_o but_o christ_n let_v he_o which_o think_v he_o stand_v take_v heed_n lest_o he_o fall_v when_o paul_n have_v distil_v the_o capital_a sin_n of_o the_o israelit_n this_o be_v the_o quintessence_n that_o be_v all_o the_o profit_n which_o he_o can_v wring_v out_o of_o they_o let_v they_o that_o think_v they_o stand_v take_v heed_n lest_o they_o fall_v who_o will_v have_v say_v that_o jerusalem_n will_v have_v become_v a_o harlot_n that_o the_o choose_a people_n shall_v become_v the_o cutsedst_a upon_o the_o earth_n yet_o so_o it_o be_v say_v paul_n thus_o &_o thus_o they_o have_v do_v and_o thus_o have_v god_n forsake_v they_o that_o all_o the_o world_n may_v take_v heed_n how_o they_o stir_v up_o the_o lion_n of_o judah_n which_o devour_v the_o wicked_a like_o bread_n who_o will_v have_v think_v when_o lot_n be_v grieve_v with_o the_o sin_n of_o sodom_n that_o he_o will_v have_v commit_v a_o worse_a sin_n himself_o first_o to_o drink_v till_o he_o be_v drink_v then_o to_o lie_v with_o his_o own_o daughter_n yet_o he_o do_v so_o who_o will_v have_v think_v that_o noah_n when_o he_o build_v the_o ark_n because_o he_o believe_v in_o god_n &_o give_v example_n to_o all_o the_o world_n how_o they_o shall_v save_v themselves_o when_o the_o flood_n be_v past_a will_v have_v give_v the_o first_o example_n of_o sin_n to_o his_o own_o son_n who_o will_v have_v think_v that_o when_o he_o be_v persecute_v for_o his_o godliness_n in_o the_o desert_n he_o will_v have_v slay_v the_o husband_n for_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o wife_n when_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n do_v call_v he_o to_o thankfulness_n who_o will_v have_v think_v that_o solomon_n when_o he_o pray_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o be_v term_v by_o god_n the_o wise_a man_n in_o the_o world_n will_v have_v take_v mo_z concubine_n unto_o he_o than_o any_o heathen_a in_o the_o world_n how_o be_v the_o mighty_a

and_o david_n and_o noah_n and_o lot_n and_o samson_n &_o peter_n the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n fall_v like_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n these_o tall_a soldier_n strong_a oak_n fair_a pillar_n
