like_o a_o wheel_n o_o my_o god_n make_v they_o like_o a_o wheel_n say_v david_n 13_o a_o wheel_n tilt_v up_o behind_o and_o shoot_v down_o before_o so_o the_o wicked_a be_v forward_o to_o all_o badness_n and_o backward_o to_o all_o goodness_n but_o the_o godly_a be_v like_o a_o panther_n a_o panther_n have_v four_o claw_n and_o no_o more_o on_o each_o hind_a foot_n but_o five_o claw_n and_o no_o less_o on_o each_o fore_a foot_n so_o the_o godly_a though_o they_o be_v weak_a to_o the_o worldward_n yet_o they_o be_v strong_a to_o godward_o and_o set_v the_o better_a foot_n before_o as_o we_o say_v they_o follow_v hard_a and_o run_v with_o might_n and_o main_a most_o violent_o to_o lay_v hold_n on_o that_o hope_n which_o be_v set_v before_o they_o 18._o for_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o violent_a man_n of_o the_o first_o sort_n the_o apostle_n say_v b._n no_o extortioner_n or_o violeent_fw-mi man_n shall_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n of_o the_o second_o sort_n our_o saviour_n say_v 12_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n suffer_v violence_n and_o violent_a man_n lay_v hold_v on_o it_o both_o be_v violent_a man_n but_o both_o be_v not_o violent_a to_o man_n for_o they_o offer_v violence_n to_o man_n these_o offer_n violence_n to_o god_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o enter_v but_o these_o do_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n for_o though_o god_n be_v not_o content_a that_o we_o shall_v offer_v violence_n to_o man_n yet_o he_o be_v well_o content_a that_o we_o shall_v offer_v violence_n to_o himself_o 〈◊〉_d and_o that_o we_o shall_v follow_v hard_o and_o as_o pirate_n or_o thief_n set_v upon_o he_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o i_o so_o to_o speak_v and_o by_o the_o force_n of_o faith_n spoil_v he_o and_o rob_v he_o of_o all_o his_o eternal_a treasure_n 15._o therefore_o call_v his_o church_n he_o say_v 13._o arise_v my_o love_n my_o fair_a one_o make_v haste_n and_o come_v away_o he_o that_o do_v make_v account_n to_o come_v to_o god_n must_v make_v haste_n to_o come_v to_o god_n he_o must_v use_v violence_n and_o follow_v hard_a and_o come_v down_o quick_o with_o zacheus_n and_o for_o speedines_n he_o must_v be_v like_o a_o doe_n or_o a_o roe_n upon_o the_o mountain_n of_o bether_o even_o as_o those_o beast_n in_o ezechiel_n 14_o do_v run_v &_o return_v as_o lightning_n so_o must_v every_o one_o who_o be_v enlighten_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n follow_v as_o swift_o as_o lightning_n which_o do_v no_o soon_o flash_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o the_o earth_n they_o he_o must_v in_o affection_n mount_v up_o from_o the_o earth_n to_o heaven_n and_o like_v as_o the_o isralite_n be_v command_v to_o eat_v the_o pass_v over_o in_o haste_n 11._o semblable_o all_o we_o which_o be_v true_a isralite_n must_v gird_v up_o the_o loin_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o follow_v hard_a and_o run_v a_o pace_n &_o redeem_v the_o time_n that_o both_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n may_v pass_v over_o we_o and_o also_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n may_v abide_v with_o us._n for_o god_n among_o other_o argument_n of_o his_o mercy_n say_v thus_o 16_o who_o have_v give_v wing_n to_o the_o ostridg_n the_o ostridg_n never_o fly_v with_o his_o wing_n but_o only_o a_o little_a lift_v up_o his_o body_n with_o they_o when_o he_o run_v and_o in_o y_z e_z pinion_n of_o each_o wing_n he_o have_v a_o sharp_a spur_n wherewith_o he_o prick_v his_o own_o self_n that_o he_o may_v run_v the_o fast_o so_o that_o god_n have_v give_v wing_n unto_o y_z e_o ostridg_n not_o for_o the_o ostrich_n but_o for_o us._n that_o we_o may_v thereby_o learn_v how_o we_o ought_v by_o all_o good_a mean_n to_o quicken_v our_o dull_a disposition_n that_o we_o may_v follow_v hard_a even_o as_o we_o see_v the_o ostrich_n egg_v his_o own_o self_n forward_o with_o the_o flap_a of_o his_o wing_n for_o they_o that_o wait_v upopn_o the_o lord_n shall_v change_v their_o strength_n they_o shall_v lift_v up_o their_o wing_n not_o only_o as_o the_o ostrich_n but_o also_o as_o the_o eagle_n they_o shall_v i_o say_v lift_v up_o their_o wing_n as_o the_o eagle_n 31_o they_o shall_v run_v and_o not_o be_v faint_a they_o shall_v walk_v and_o not_o be_v weary_a even_o as_o pindarus_n write_v that_o king_n therons_n courser_n be_v such_o as_o will_v never_o be_v weary_a of_o go_v l_o so_o shall_v these_o follow_v still_o and_o never_o be_v weary_a of_o well_o do_v but_o the_o most_o especial_a thing_n to_o be_v consider_v here_o be_v this_o that_o the_o prophet_n say_v they_o which_o weight_n upon_o the_o lord_n shall_v change_v their_o strength_n fortitudinem_fw-la he_o say_v not_o they_o shall_v loose_v their_o strength_n that_o whereas_o before_o they_o be_v strong_a now_o they_o shall_v be_v weak_a but_o they_o shall_v change_v their_o strength_n namely_o the_o use_n of_o their_o strength_n that_o whereas_o before_o they_o be_v strong_a and_o do_v follow_v hard_o to_o serve_v sin_n now_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o strong_a &_o shall_v follow_v as_o hard_o to_o serve_v god_n 19_o for_o god_n only_o it_o be_v which_o can_v melt_v brass_n out_o of_o a_o stone_n 2._o i_o wot_v well_o there_o be_v a_o stone_n call_v almacrasia_n which_o be_v melt_v become_v brass_n but_o these_o word_n have_v a_o far_o more_o hide_a meaning_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n do_v melt_v brass_n out_o of_o a_o stone_n when_o he_o take_v the_o hart_n of_o a_o sinner_n which_o be_v as_o hard_a as_o a_o stone_n and_o melt_v it_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n do_v afterward_o make_v it_o as_o tough_a as_o brass_n this_o be_v see_v in_o the_o conversion_n of_o paul_n for_o when_o paul_n be_v make_v a_o apostle_n they_o a_o stone_n be_v make_v brass_n he_o be_v as_o hard_o as_o any_o stone_n before_o his_o conversion_n when_o he_o stone_v stephen_n 58_o he_o be_v as_o tough_a as_o any_o brass_n after_o his_o conversion_n when_o he_o do_v follow_v so_o hard_o that_o no_o affliction_n can_v separate_v he_o from_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n 35_o which_o thing_n be_v prophesy_v of_o long_o before_o 27_o when_o the_o patriarch_n jacob_n say_v benjamin_n shall_v be_v as_o a_o raven_a wolf_n in_o the_o

be_v this_o raven_a wolf_n because_o he_o breathe_v out_o threaten_v and_o slaughter_n against_o the_o disciple_n and_o be_v even_o mad_a upon_o they_o as_o a_o raven_a wolf_n 5._o paul_n in_o the_o morning_n devour_v the_o prey_n because_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o day_n he_o waste_v and_o devour_v the_o church_n of_o god_n as_o a_o pray_v 13_o paul_n in_o the_o evening_n divide_v the_o spoil_n because_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o his_o day_n he_o do_v follow_v his_o call_n hard_o and_o divide_v the_o word_n of_o god_n aright_o 15._o of_o which_o the_o psalmist_n say_v i_o rejoice_v in_o thy_o word_n more_o than_o they_o which_o have_v find_v a_o great_a spoil_n so_o that_o this_o be_v no_o loss_n of_o strength_n but_o only_o a_o change_n of_o strength_n o_o bless_a benjamin_n o_o holy_a apostle_n thou_o have_v now_o change_v thy_o strength_n yea_o by_o change_v it_o thou_o have_v much_o increase_v it_o for_o thou_o be_v nothing_o so_o strong_a before_o as_o thou_o be_v now_o nothing_o so_o strong_a before_o be_v a_o ston_n as_o thou_o be_v now_o be_v brass_n nothing_o so_o strong_a before_o be_v a_o raven_a wolf_n as_o thou_o be_v now_o be_v a_o meek_a lamb_n nothing_o so_o strong_a before_o in_o the_o morning_n as_o thou_o be_v now_o in_o the_o evening_n nothing_o so_o strong_a before_o when_o thou_o do_v devour_v the_o pray_v as_o thou_o be_v now_o when_o thou_o do_v divide_v the_o spoil_n when_o no_o impediment_n no_o stumbling-block_n can_v stay_v thou_o but_o thou_o will_v needs_o follow_v hard_a and_o run_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o divide_v the_o spoil_n among_o all_o nation_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n unto_o all_o people_n so_o likewise_o baruch_n be_v inflame_v as_o the_o hebrew_n word_n signify_v 20._o he_o be_v i_o
