you_o will_v be_v cross_a to_o all_o and_o preach_v godliness_n be_v gain_v to_o they_o which_o count_v gain_v godliness_n man_n will_v think_v of_o you_o as_o festus_n do_v 25._o that_o you_o speak_v you_o know_v not_o what_o these_o lesson_n be_v for_o paul_n himself_o 19_o as_o christ_n say_v all_o do_v not_o receive_v this_o word_n 18._o so_o all_o do_v not_o count_v this_o gain_n but_o loss_n we_o count_v he_o scotfree_a which_o have_v his_o barn_n full_a like_o the_o 14._o churl_n 1._o his_o coffer_n full_a like_o the_o glutton_n his_o table_n full_a like_o baltasar_n his_o stable_n full_a like_o solomon_n 26._o his_o ground_n full_a like_o job_n his_o purse_n full_a like_o croesus_n 3_o you_o speak_v against_o your_o master_n for_o christ_n send_v word_n unto_o john_n that_o the_o poor_a receive_v the_o gospel_n 22._o as_o though_o the_o godly_a be_v of_o the_o poor_a sort_n 12._o and_o david_n call_v the_o wicked_a rich_a they_o prospeand_v flourish_v their_o seed_n blast_v not_o their_o cow_n cast_v not_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v not_o as_o you_o take_v it_o paul_n that_o godliness_n do_v make_v man_n scotfree_a for_o this_o i_o have_v observe_v in_o my_o time_n that_o the_o wicked_a be_v the_o wealthy_a 16._o and_o good_a lazarus_n be_v the_o poor_a man_n and_o wicked_a dives_fw-la be_v the_o rich_a man_n again_o we_o read_v that_o the_o blind_a man_n be_v ask_v which_o of_o of_o the_o scribe_n or_o the_o pharisee_n or_o the_o elder_n do_v follow_v christ_n yet_o these_o be_v count_v rich_a man_n though_o they_o have_v no_o godliness_n and_o if_o you_o shall_v examine_v yourself_o it_o seem_v you_o be_v no_o scotfree_a man_n for_o all_o your_o godliness_n when_o you_o do_v work_v with_o your_o hand_n for_o your_o live_n 9_o therefore_o if_o godliness_n be_v such_o gain_n how_o happen_v it_o that_o your_o share_n be_v no_o better_o so_o they_o which_o be_v like_o nicodemus_n when_o christ_n say_v they_o must_v be_v bear_v again_o 3._o think_v that_o he_o can_v have_v no_o other_o meaning_n but_o that_o they_o must_v return_v again_o into_o their_o mother_n womb_n 6._o and_o when_o he_o call_v himself_o bread_n that_o he_o must_v needs_o mean_v such_o bread_n as_o theydine_n with_o as_o the_o jew_n hear_v the_o prophet_n speak_v so_o oft_o of_o christ_n kingdom_n 20._o and_o call_v he_o a_o king_n look_v for_o a_o temporal_a king_n which_o shall_v bring_v they_o peace_n and_o joy_n and_o glory_n and_o make_v they_o like_o king_n themselves_o so_o the_o carnal_a ear_n when_o they_o hear_v of_o a_o kingdom_n and_o treasure_n and_o riches_n straight_o their_o mind_n run_v upon_o earthly_a and_o worldly_a and_o transitory_a thing_n such_o as_o they_o love_v to_o who_o paul_n answer_v as_o christ_n answer_v his_o disciple_n i_o have_v a_o other_o meat_n which_o you_o know_v not_o of_o 32._o so_o there_o be_v another_o gain_n which_o you_o know_v not_o of_o i_o say_v not_o that_o godliness_n be_v earthly_a or_o worldly_a or_o transitory_a gain_n but_o great_a gain_n godliness_n be_v great_a gain_n he_o will_v not_o prove_v godliness_n to_o be_v gain_n but_o great_a gain_n godliness_n be_v great_a gain_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v more_o gainful_a than_o your_o ware_n and_o rent_n and_o fine_n and_o interest_n as_o though_o he_o will_v make_v the_o lawyer_n and_o merchant_n and_o mercer_n &_o draper_n and_o patron_n and_o landlord_n &_o all_o the_o man_n of_o riches_n believe_v that_o godliness_n will_v make_v they_o rich_a soon_o than_o covetousness_n 5._o i_o fear_v this_o say_n may_v be_v renew_a 2_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v you_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o nay_o if_o god_n tell_v you_o yet_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o as_o the_o lord_n look_v down_o upon_o earth_n to_o see_v if_o any_o do_v regard_v he_o &_o say_v there_o be_v not_o one_o so_o this_o sentence_n may_v go_v from_o court_n to_o city_n from_o city_n to_o country_n and_o say_v there_o be_v scarce_o one_o in_o a_o town_n that_o will_v subscribe_v unto_o it_o many_o say_v david_n psal_n 4._o ask_v who_o will_v show_v we_o any_o good_a mean_v riches_n and_o honour_n and_o pleasure_n which_o be_v not_o good_a but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o goodness_n itself_o he_o leave_v out_o many_o and_o pray_v in_o his_o own_o person_n lord_n lift_v up_o the_o light_n of_o thy_o countenance_n upon_o us._n as_o though_o none_o will_v join_v with_o he_o yet_o wisdom_n be_v justify_v of_o she_o own_o child_n and_o the_o godly_a call_v godliness_n gain_v to_o make_v we_o love_v godliness_n he_o call_v it_o by_o the_o name_n of_o that_o we_o love_v most_o that_o be_v gain_n as_o the_o father_n call_v his_o son_n which_o he_o will_v love_v more_o than_o the_o rest_n by_o his_o own_o name_n to_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o such_o a_o love_n as_o he_o bear_v to_o himself_o here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o god_n do_v not_o commannd_a man_n to_o be_v godly_a only_o because_o it_o make_v for_o his_o glory_n but_o because_o godliness_n be_v profitable_a to_o us._n for_o godliness_n be_v not_o call_v gain_n in_o respect_n of_o he_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o it_o be_v gain_v to_o we_o but_o it_o be_v duty_n to_o he_o so_o it_o be_v not_o call_v health_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o because_o it_o be_v the_o health_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o it_o be_v not_o call_v a_o kingdom_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o because_o we_o be_v entitle_v to_o the_o kingdom_n by_o this_o difference_n from_o the_o reprobate_n but_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n together_o and_o the_o goodness_n of_o all_o be_v find_v in_o godliness_n and_o therefore_o godliness_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o man_n count_v best_a to_o show_v that_o the_o godly_a be_v as_o well_o as_o merry_a as_o content_v with_o their_o love_n toward_o god_n and_o god_n love_n towards_o they_o as_o other_o be_v with_o health_n and_o wealth_n and_o pleasure_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o godly_a esay_n 33._o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v his_o treasure_n therefore_o say_v jeremy_n 3._o lament_n the_o lord_n be_v my_o portion_n as_o though_o he_o desire_v nothing_o else_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v of_o moses_n heb._n 11._o 26._o that_o he_o esteem_v the_o rebuke_n of_o christ_n great_a riches_n they_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o egypt_n if_o cross_n be_v riches_n as_o moses_n think_v what_o riches_n be_v in_o godliness_n but_o be_v this_o all_o shall_v godliness_n be_v our_o riches_n in_o this_o life_n only_o nay_o say_v paul_n 1._o tim_n 4_o godliness_n have_v the_o promise_n of_o this_o life_n and_o of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o therefore_o christ_n say_v first_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n shall_v be_v cast_v upon_o you_o 16._o even_o as_o the_o sheaf_n fall_v before_o ruth_n so_o riches_n shall_v fall_v in_o your_o way_n as_o they_o do_v to_o abraham_n and_o lot_n and_o jacob_n and_o job_n and_o joseph_n riches_n be_v cast_v to_o they_o they_o know_v not_o how_o but_o as_o if_o god_n have_v say_v be_v rich_a and_o they_o be_v rich_a straight_o for_o all_o good_a thing_n be_v create_v for_o the_o good_a and_o therefore_o they_o be_v call_v good_a gen_n 1._o because_o the_o good_a god_n create_v they_o for_o good_a man_n to_o good_a purpose_n 8_o and_o therefore_o as_o jacob_n get_v the_o blessing_n so_o he_o get_v the_o inheritance_n also_o to_o show_v that_o as_o the_o faithful_a have_v the_o inward_a blessing_n so_o they_o have_v the_o outward_a blessing_n too_o when_o they_o be_v good_a for_o they_o for_o say_v david_n psal_n 34_o they_o which_o seek_v the_o lord_n shall_v want_n nothing_o that_o be_v good_a he_o say_v not_o that_o they_o shall_v want_n nothing_o but_o that_o they_o shall_v want_n nothing_o that_o be_v good_a now_o god_n know_v better_a than_o we_o what_o be_v good_a for_o we_o as_o the_o nurse_n know_v better_a than_o the_o child_n when_o the_o milk_n be_v ready_a for_o it_o therefore_o christ_n say_v your_o heavenly_a father_n know_v what_o you_o have_v need_n of_o he_o say_v not_o that_o we_o know_v what_o we_o have_v need_n of_o but_o that_o our_o father_n know_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o you_o have_v need_n of_o health_n your_o father_n will_v send_v you_o health_n when_o you_o have_v need_n of_o riches_n your_o father_n will_v send_v you_o riches_n when_o you_o have_v need_n of_o lââertie_n your_o father_n will_v send_v you_o liberty_n for_o he_o say_v not_o only_o that_o his_o father_n know_v what_o we_o have_v need_n of_o but_o he_o will_v give_v we_o the_o thing_n
