no_o child_n and_o do_v nothing_o but_o of_o servile_a fear_n can_v do_v nothing_o that_o be_v good_a for_o first_o they_o fail_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o good_a work_n put_v in_o practice_n the_o tradition_n of_o man_n in_o stead_n of_o god_n 9_o precept_n second_o they_o fail_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v for_o that_o which_o they_o do_v be_v do_v to_o a_o wrong_a end_n and_o with_o a_o wrong_a affection_n for_o it_o be_v too_o justify_v themselves_o thereby_o before_o 11._o god_n as_o the_o pharisee_n do_v and_o therefore_o this_o white_a flag_n of_o truce_n my_o son_n be_v not_o put_v out_o to_o they_o because_o they_o have_v break_v the_o condition_n of_o peace_n our_o popish_a merit-monger_n be_v like_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o go_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o centurion_n for_o his_o sick_a servant_n they_o beseech_v he_o instant_o as_o though_o they_o may_v not_o be_v deny_v 5._o and_o they_o tell_v he_o forsooth_o that_o the_o centurion_n be_v worthy_a of_o so_o much_o favour_n as_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v come_v to_o he_o and_o heal_v his_o servant_n for_o proof_n whereof_o they_o allege_v two_o strong_a reason_n like_o our_o papist_n one_o be_v he_o love_v our_o nation_n another_o be_v he_o have_v build_v we_o a_o synagogue_n so_o plead_v our_o papist_n we_o be_v worthy_a o_o lord_n of_o thy_o favour_n we_o have_v deserve_v so_o much_o at_o thy_o hand_n or_o such_o a_o one_o that_o be_v now_o go_v have_v deserve_v so_o much_o as_o that_o thou_o shall_v receive_v his_o soul_n for_o he_o love_v we_o well_o while_o he_o live_v he_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n he_o make_v we_o good_a cheer_n he_o keep_v a_o good_a house_n he_o fill_v our_o belly_n and_o our_o purse_n too_o beside_o that_o he_o have_v build_v we_o a_o stately_a synagogue_n goodly_a church_n and_o chapel_n of_o ease_n he_o mend_v our_o highway_n he_o erect_v such_o a_o college_n such_o a_o friary_n and_o such_o a_o nunnery_n again_o such_o a_o france_n man_n be_v a_o good_a catholic_a lord_n for_o he_o help_v the_o priest_n to_o say_v mass_n he_o give_v his_o consent_n to_o the_o poison_n of_o such_o a_o king_n and_o the_o murder_n of_o such_o another_o he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o dispatch_v all_o christian_n prince_n because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o the_o pope_n religion_n so_o zealous_a a_o catholic_a be_v he_o but_o lord_n he_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o every_o thing_n he_o will_v not_o eat_v a_o bit_n of_o flesh_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o a_o egg_n in_o lent_n or_o upon_o a_o friday_n he_o will_v never_o go_v out_o before_o he_o have_v cross_v himself_o before_o and_o behind_o his_o house_n be_v never_o without_o a_o crucifix_n nor_o his_o window_n without_o a_o picture_n of_o the_o trinity_n a_o number_n of_o good_a work_n more_o he_o do_v which_o the_o tally_n will_v not_o hold_v and_o those_o be_v for_o his_o honest_a neighbour_n which_o will_v give_v any_o thing_n for_o they_o therefore_o lord_n thou_o must_v of_o necessity_n receive_v his_o soul_n when_o he_o be_v dead_a or_o else_o thou_o do_v he_o great_a wrong_n and_o thus_o we_o hear_v how_o papist_n plead_v like_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o centurion_n and_o his_o servant_n but_o what_o say_v the_o centurion_n himself_o o_o lord_n say_v he_o trouble_v not_o thou_o thyself_o for_o i_o be_o not_o worthy_a that_o thou_o shall_v enter_v under_o my_o roof_n neither_o do_v i_o think_v myself_o worthy_a to_o come_v unto_o thou_o but_o only_o speak_v the_o word_n and_o my_o servant_n shall_v be_v 6._o whole_a and_o this_o message_n say_v the_o evangelist_n he_o send_v to_o christ_n by_o his_o friend_n as_o if_o they_o which_o plead_v his_o worthiness_n and_o work_n be_v his_o enemy_n and_o not_o his_o friend_n but_o how_o do_v the_o lord_n jesus_n like_v of_o this_o message_n sure_o he_o marvel_v at_o such_o humility_n &_o commend_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o centurion_n even_o by_o the_o name_n of_o greatfaith_o to_o show_v that_o merit-monger_n have_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o except_o the_o devil_n faith_n now_o to_o end_v this_o point_n if_o any_o man_n be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n let_v he_o also_o become_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o live_v as_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n let_v no_o man_n say_v if_o i_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n i_o need_v not_o care_v what_o to_o do_v or_o as_o the_o manner_n of_o many_o be_v god_n be_v merciful_a and_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n what_o need_v we_o fear_v for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n so_o they_o which_o be_v in_o christ_n live_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o 1._o spirit_n on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o thou_o feel_v thyself_o a_o new_a creature_n in_o christ_n and_o transfourm_v into_o the_o likeness_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n then_o faint_v not_o under_o the_o cross_n for_o thy_o heavenly_a father_n will_v bear_v thou_o up_o in_o his_o arm_n plead_v not_o for_o thyself_o by_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o thyself_o but_o appeal_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o thy_o heavenly_a father_n and_o say_v lord_n he_o who_o thou_o love_v be_v in_o want_n as_o the_o sister_n of_o lazarus_n 3._o say_v to_o christ_n for_o their_o brother_n lord_n he_o who_o thou_o love_v be_v sick_a and_o claim_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n thy_o heavenly_a father_n in_o his_o son_n christ_n and_o then_o fear_v not_o thy_o sin_n my_o son_n say_v god_n for_o i_o even_o i_o will_v do_v they_o 11._o all_o away_o even_o for_o my_o name_n sake_n and_o for_o my_o son_n sake_n in_o who_o thou_o be_v my_o son_n and_o in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v all_o our_o fear_n turn_v into_o joy_n because_o we_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o christ._n when_o a_o lion_n roar_v upon_o samson_n the_o spirit_n of_o strength_n come_v upon_o samson_n and_o he_o rend_v he_o in_o piece_n 9_o not_o long_o after_o in_o the_o same_o lion_n he_o find_v a_o swarm_n of_o bee_n with_o their_o sting_n but_o therewithal_o he_o find_v a_o honeycomb_n to_o feed_v upon_o so_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o devil_n roar_v upon_o we_o and_o think_v to_o have_v devour_v us._n but_o our_o true_a samson_n jesus_n christ_n have_v tear_v he_o in_o piece_n which_o go_v about_o like_o a_o roar_a lion_n seek_v to_o devour_v us._n now_o if_o we_o look_v into_o our_o own_o heart_n which_o be_v as_o a_o lion_n den_n we_o shall_v find_v after_o this_o victory_n not_o a_o swarm_n of_o bee_n as_o samson_n do_v in_o the_o belly_n of_o the_o lion_n but_o a_o swarm_n of_o corruption_n and_o sin_n with_o their_o sting_n like_a prick_v in_o our_o flesh_n to_o humble_v we_o but_o there_o withal_o 7._o we_o shall_v find_v honey_n to_o comfort_v we_o even_o a_o rich_a honeycomb_n of_o god_n mercy_n to_o feed_v upon_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n and_o courage_n be_v in_o we_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o strength_n and_o boldness_n be_v in_o samson_n and_o then_o we_o may_v say_v plain_o as_o samson_n say_v in_o a_o riddle_n out_o of_o the_o eater_n come_v meat_n and_o out_o of_o the_o strong_a come_v sweetness_n for_o what_o be_v strong_a than_o a_o lion_n and_o what_o be_v sweet_a than_o hony_n but_o we_o may_v say_v what_o be_v strong_a than_o sin_n and_o what_o be_v sweet_a than_o mercy_n what_o sight_n more_o terrible_a than_o the_o black_a flag_n of_o defiance_n with_o my_o rebel_n the_o colour_n of_o vengeance_n upon_o it_o what_o more_o comfortable_a than_o to_o see_v that_o pull_v in_o and_o the_o white_a flag_n of_o truce_n put_v forth_o with_o my_o son_n the_o word_n of_o mercy_n and_o peace_n upon_o it_o my_o rebel_n be_v go_v my_o son_n be_v come_v in_o the_o steed_n the_o lord_n take_v away_o the_o rebellion_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o grant_v we_o so_o to_o keep_v his_o condition_n of_o peace_n that_o we_o may_v be_v his_o son_n indeed_o and_o find_v peace_n to_o our_o conscience_n for_o evermore_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o as_o the_o lord_n do_v once_o bring_v light_a out_o of_o darkness_n so_o our_o heavenly_a father_n have_v wrought_v comfort_n out_o of_o sin_n to_o all_o his_o child_n in_o christ_n jesus_n bless_a 4._o be_v his_o name_n for_o ever_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o these_o word_n my_o son_n as_o proceed_v from_o god_n to_o man_n my_o son_n as_o be_v the_o word_n of_o solomon_n consider_v now_o if_o we_o consider_v they_o as_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o solomon_n something_o more_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o they_o for_o as_o god_n be_v the_o author_n so_o solomon_n be_v

afore_o at_o the_o sight_n whereof_o the_o very_a enemy_n of_o christ_n which_o watch_v he_o be_v afraid_a for_o that_o they_o have_v do_v unto_o he_o yea_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o confess_v and_o say_v doubtless_o 54._o this_o man_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o if_o we_o be_v dead_a with_o christ_n our_o head_n unto_o sin_n as_o he_o be_v dead_a for_o our_o sin_n there_o will_v follow_v a_o wonderful_a alteration_n in_o our_o life_n there_o will_v appear_v such_o zeal_n in_o profess_v the_o gospel_n such_o pity_n in_o relieve_v the_o poor_a such_o patience_n in_o bear_v the_o cross_n such_o faithfulness_n in_o perform_v of_o promise_n such_o charity_n in_o judge_v our_o brethren_n such_o compassion_n in_o condemn_a malefactor_n such_o love_n in_o reprove_v of_o fault_n such_o mercy_n in_o forgive_a offence_n such_o sincerity_n in_o worship_v of_o god_n such_o constancy_n in_o defend_v of_o the_o truth_n such_o watch_v over_o all_o our_o way_n and_o such_o wisdom_n in_o win_a man_n to_o god_n that_o our_o very_a enemy_n which_o before_o do_v mock_v we_o hate_v we_o and_o perseeute_n we_o shall_v be_v constrain_v with_o shame_n enough_o to_o say_v these_o be_v no_o doubt_n the_o child_n of_o god_n these_o be_v good_a man_n these_o be_v true_a professor_n indeed_o for_o such_o fruit_n and_o effect_n do_v follow_v their_o profession_n as_o be_v not_o common_o see_v in_o the_o life_n of_o other_o wherefore_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n let_v not_o the_o king_n go_v like_o a_o kesar_n let_v not_o the_o captain_n run_v away_o like_o a_o coward_n let_v not_o the_o tree_n 15._o lose_v his_o fatness_n to_o do_v as_o the_o bramble_n will_v do_v and_o let_v not_o a_o christian_n live_v like_o antichrist_n let_v not_o believer_n live_v like_o infidel_n nor_o let_v not_o the_o son_n of_o god_n live_v like_o the_o son_n of_o satan_n but_o as_o in_o our_o house_n as_o in_o our_o apparel_n as_o in_o our_o feasting_n as_o in_o our_o furniture_n in_o every_o thing_n else_o we_o strive_v to_o have_v match_n and_o all_o our_o thing_n suitable_a so_o likewise_o let_v we_o strive_v to_o have_v our_o title_n and_o our_o life_n our_o name_n and_o our_o quality_n our_o profession_n and_o our_o practice_n suitable_a and_o answerable_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o final_o let_v every_o one_o that_o call_v god_n his_o father_n in_o the_o 19_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n lest_o hereafter_o the_o lord_n jesus_n bid_v he_o depart_v with_o the_o work_n of_o iniquity_n here_o be_v two_o departinge_n 27._o if_o we_o take_v the_o first_o now_o we_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o the_o other_o hereafter_o but_o if_o we_o will_v not_o hear_v now_o of_o a_o depart_n from_o iniquity_n which_o we_o ought_v we_o shall_v hereafter_o hear_v of_o a_o depart_n with_o our_o iniquity_n which_o we_o will_v not_o the_o first_o be_v somewhat_o painful_a but_o it_o be_v infinite_o gainful_a the_o second_o be_v most_o fearful_a and_o for_o ever_o intolerable_a and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n child_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o title_n now_o let_v we_o see_v why_o the_o lord_n both_o in_o this_o place_n and_o so_o often_o in_o this_o book_n of_o proverbe_n do_v use_v these_o word_n my_o son_n as_o also_o why_o he_o do_v not_o say_v my_o son_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n see_v he_o speak_v to_o all_o the_o church_n in_o general_a but_o my_o son_n in_o the_o singular_a number_n as_o though_o he_o speak_v but_o to_o one_o alone_a that_o so_o we_o may_v make_v that_o use_n of_o they_o for_o which_o they_o be_v leave_v unto_o the_o church_n and_o lest_o we_o shall_v think_v this_o to_o be_v more_o than_o need_v we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o as_o the_o holy_a speak_v nothing_o in_o vain_a so_o do_v he_o not_o speak_v any_o word_n at_o all_o adventure_n but_o in_o singular_a wisdom_n and_o in_o most_o excellent_a order_n have_v he_o handle_v every_o treatise_n and_o place_v every_o sentence_n every_o word_n and_o every_o letter_n to_o great_a purpose_n it_o be_v do_v and_o ought_v according_o to_o be_v consider_v for_o when_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v not_o one_o jot_n or_o tittle_n of_o 18._o god_n word_n shall_v pass_v but_o every_o word_n of_o god_n endure_v for_o ever_o and_o shall_v remain_v as_o faithful_a witness_n in_o heaven_n either_o with_o we_o or_o against_o we_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n 89_o then_o shall_v all_o god_n argument_n and_o reason_n and_o persuasion_n be_v call_v forth_o to_o give_v evidence_n against_o we_o if_o they_o do_v nothing_o prevail_v now_o then_o shall_v every_o word_n of_o admonition_n and_o every_o word_n of_o threaten_v and_o every_o word_n of_o love_n and_o kindness_n and_o every_o title_n of_o honour_n and_o dignity_n come_v forth_o and_o plead_v hard_a against_o all_o such_o as_o have_v turn_v the_o deaf_a ear_n unto_o they_o yea_o they_o shall_v also_o cry_v loud_a for_o vengeance_n upon_o all_o those_o man_n which_o either_o in_o word_n or_o deed_n have_v offer_v they_o any_o disgrace_n especial_o amongst_o their_o friend_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n like_o stranger_n of_o a_o other_o country_n when_o they_o catch_v their_o foreign_a enemy_n within_o their_o own_o liberty_n for_o every_o word_n of_o god_n be_v send_v from_o heaven_n by_o god_n as_o ambassador_n of_o a_o far_a country_n one_o after_o another_o to_o deal_v for_o god_n therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v wisdom_n for_o we_o to_o regard_v they_o now_o and_o to_o give_v they_o good_a entertainment_n while_o they_o remain_v among_o we_o or_o else_o when_o we_o travail_v into_o their_o country_n where_o they_o dwell_v which_o will_v not_o be_v long_o and_o think_v to_o find_v relief_n at_o their_o hand_n they_o will_v then_o serve_v we_o as_o we_o serve_v they_o and_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o our_o discourteous_a deal_n against_o they_o when_o they_o be_v among_o we_o as_o joseph_n tell_v his_o bertheren_n of_o their_o cruelty_n against_o 4_o he_o when_o they_o go_v into_o egipte_n for_o succour_n where_o he_o bare_a rule_n and_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v than_o be_v they_o both_o afraid_a and_o ashamed_a and_o so_o shall_v we_o be_v too_o if_o we_o do_v not_o repent_v well_o go_v to_o then_o we_o will_v not_o light_o pass_v over_o this_o preface_n as_o we_o have_v do_v as_o if_o they_o be_v but_o word_n of_o course_n for_o there_o be_v more_o in_o they_o then_o we_o think_v there_o be_v for_o in_o deed_n there_o be_v more_o contain_v in_o these_o two_o word_n my_o son_n than_o some_o think_v can_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o two_o chapter_n yea_o ij_o book_n i_o will_v not_o say_v the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n butl_n et_fw-la we_o see_v why_o the_o lord_n use_v to_o speak_v so_o unto_o miserable_a man_n and_o why_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o singular_a number_n as_o to_o one_o alone_a when_o that_o which_o he_o say_v concern_v not_o only_o one_o man_n but_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v also_o use_v they_o to_o that_o end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v set_v down_o sure_o the_o lord_n of_o mercy_n know_v where_o of_o we_o be_v make_v and_o see_v 14._o that_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n full_a of_o weakness_n and_o corruption_n frame_v himself_o in_o his_o word_n to_o speak_v according_o and_o albeit_o he_o sometime_o utter_v himself_o in_o fearful_a word_n of_o might_n and_o majesty_n to_o show_v his_o power_n and_o sovereignty_n over_o we_o yet_o sometime_o again_o he_o speak_v as_o a_o tender_a father_n allure_a his_o child_n with_o sweet_a word_n of_o comfort_n and_o encouragement_n for_o if_o mount_n sinai_n shall_v still_o smoke_v and_o burn_v with_o 19_o fire_n israel_n will_v die_v for_o fear_n if_o moses_n shall_v not_o cover_v his_o face_n 35._o with_o a_o veil_n when_o he_o come_v from_o talk_v with_o god_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v he_o if_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n shall_v always_o send_v strong_a wind_n before_o he_o to_o rend_v the_o mountain_n and_o to_o split_v the_o rock_n in_o piece_n eliah_n himself_o dare_v not_o come_v out_o of_o his_o cave_n but_o if_o a_o still_a and_o a_o soft_a voice_n come_v after_o the_o wind_n the_o earthquake_n and_o the_o fire_n then_o will_v eliah_n begin_v to_o peep_v out_o and_o 13._o bold_o to_o stand_v up_o but_o he_o will_v not_o go_v beyond_o the_o enter_v of_o the_o cave_n as_o bold_a as_o he_o be_v and_o his_o face_n must_v be_v cover_v with_o his_o mantle_n too_o here_o therefore_o and_o often_o in_o this_o book_n the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n speak_v not_o otherwise_o unto_o his_o church_n than_o a_o father_n do_v to_o his_o child_n my_o son_n say_v he_o
