to_o give_v way_n to_o discomposure_n when_o we_o have_v most_o cause_n to_o avoid_v all_o provocation_n yet_o than_o we_o have_v most_o occasion_n set_v before_o we_o when_o we_o will_v most_o

shall_v observe_v if_o we_o have_v not_o these_o solemn_a affair_n to_o wait_v upon_o we_o shall_v have_v few_o of_o these_o occasion_n of_o vexation_n to_o attend_v we_o this_o can_v be_v attribute_v to_o mere_a contingency_n of_o occasion_n nor_o yet_o to_o our_o temper_n sole_o for_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v most_o apt_a to_o give_v we_o trouble_v when_o they_o be_v most_o engage_v to_o calmness_n can_v well_o be_v account_v for_o it_o be_v evident_o then_o satan_n that_o malicious_o direct_v these_o occasion_n for_o they_o have_v not_o a_o malicious_a ingeniousness_n to_o prepare_v themselves_o without_o some_o other_o chief_a mover_n at_o such_o time_n as_o he_o know_v will_v be_v most_o to_o our_o prejudice_n these_o general_a consideration_n amount_v to_o more_o than_o a_o suspicion_n that_o it_o be_v much_o in_o satan_n power_n to_o give_v disturbance_n to_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n yet_o for_o the_o clear_a manifestation_n of_o the_o matter_n i_o shall_v show_v that_o he_o can_v do_v much_o to_o bring_v about_o occasion_n of_o discomposure_n and_o also_o to_o stir_v up_o the_o passion_n of_o man_n upon_o these_o occasion_n 1._o that_o occasion_n be_v much_o in_o his_o hand_n i_o shall_v easy_o demonstrate_v for_o 1._o there_o be_v so_o many_o occasion_n of_o vexation_n to_o a_o weak_a crazy_a mind_n we_o may_v well_o imagine_v that_o one_o or_o other_o be_v still_o occur_v and_o while_o they_o thus_o offer_v themselves_o satan_n need_v not_o be_v idle_a for_o want_v of_o a_o opportunity_n 2._o but_o if_o common_a occasion_n do_v not_o so_o exact_o suit_v his_o design_n he_o can_v prepare_v occasion_n for_o such_o be_v his_o foresight_n and_o contrivance_n that_o he_o can_v put_v some_o man_n without_o their_o privity_n to_o his_o intention_n or_o any_o evil_a design_n of_o their_o own_o upon_o such_o action_n as_o may_v through_o the_o strength_n of_o prejudice_n misinterpretation_n or_o evil_a inclination_n be_v a_o offence_n to_o other_o and_o in_o like_a manner_n can_v invite_v those_o to_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o these_o offence_n i_o be_o ready_a to_o think_v there_o be_v a_o contrivance_n of_o satan_n if_o we_o well_o consider_v all_o circumstance_n to_o bring_v david_n and_o the_o object_n of_o his_o lust_n together_o while_o bathshebah_n be_v bathe_v he_o may_v use_v his_o art_n in_o private_a motion_n to_o get_v david_n up_o to_o the_o roof_n of_o his_o house_n but_o more_o especial_o can_v the_o devil_n prepare_v occasion_n that_o do_v depend_v upon_o the_o wickedness_n of_o his_o slave_n these_o be_v servant_n under_o his_o command_n he_o can_v say_v to_o one_o god_n and_o he_o go_v and_o to_o another_o come_v and_o he_o come_v if_o contempt_n or_o injury_n affront_n or_o scorn_n etc._n etc._n be_v necessary_a for_o his_o present_a work_n against_o any_o who_o he_o undertake_v to_o disturb_v he_o can_v easy_o put_v his_o vassal_n upon_o that_o part_n of_o the_o service_n and_o if_o he_o have_v high_a employment_n for_o they_o he_o ever_o find_v they_o forward_o and_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o when_o satan_n design_v to_o plunder_v job_n he_o can_v quick_o perform_v it_o because_o he_o have_v the_o chaldean_n and_o sabean_o ready_a at_o a_o call_n 3._o if_o both_o these_o shall_v fail_v he_o he_o can_v easy_o awaken_v in_o we_o the_o memory_n of_o old_a occasion_n that_o have_v be_v

that_o the_o husbandman_n do_v first_o sow_v good_a seed_n in_o his_o field_n and_o that_o there_o be_v such_o varieity_n of_o tare_n and_o false_a worship_n notwithstanding_o the_o plain_a and_o

out_o of_o the_o humour_n of_o more_o shameful_a idolatry_n they_o yet_o corrupt_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n by_o their_o tradition_n and_o of_o these_o they_o be_v so_o fond_a that_o they_o cause_v the_o law_n of_o god_n itself_o to_o give_v place_n to_o they_o and_o make_v it_o void_a by_o they_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o free_a though_o christ_n come_v to_o seek_v such_o
