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 l●●ertie_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

which_o we_o need_v therefore_o as_o child_n take_v no_o care_n for_o their_o apparel_n what_o clothes_n they_o shall_v wear_v nor_o for_o their_o victual_n what_o meat_n they_o shall_v eat_v but_o leave_v this_o care_n for_o their_o father_n so_o say_v christ_n take_v you_o no_o care_n for_o my_o father_n care_v for_o you_o he_o be_v not_o content_a to_o call_v godliness_n gain_v but_o he_o call_v it_o great_a gain_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v gain_n and_o more_o than_o gain_n riches_n and_o better_a than_o riches_n a_o kingdom_n and_o great_a than_o a_o kingdom_n as_o when_o the_o prophet_n will_v distinguish_v between_o the_o idol_n god_n and_o the_o live_a god_n they_o call_v he_o the_o great_a god_n so_o the_o gain_n of_o godliness_n be_v call_v great_a gain_n the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n be_v call_v earthly_a transitorye_n snare_n thorn_n dung_n as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v count_v riches_n and_o therefore_o to_o draw_v the_o earnest_a love_n of_o man_n from_o they_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bring_v they_o in_o with_o such_o name_n of_o disdain_n to_o disgrace_v they_o with_o their_o lover_n but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o godliness_n which_o be_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o soul_n he_o call_v it_o great_a riches_n heavenlye_a riches_n unsearchable_a riches_n everlasting_a riches_n with_o all_o the_o name_n of_o honour_n and_o all_o the_o name_n of_o pleasure_n and_o all_o the_o name_n of_o happiness_n as_o a_o woman_n trimme_n and_o deck_v herself_o with_o a_o hundred_o ornament_n only_o to_o make_v her_o amiable_a so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n set_v out_o godliness_n with_o name_n of_o honour_n and_o name_n of_o pleasure_n and_o name_n of_o happiness_n as_o it_o be_v in_o her_o jewel_n with_o letter_n of_o commendation_n to_o make_v she_o to_o he_o love_v lest_o any_o riches_n shall_v compare_v with_o godliness_n he_o give_v it_o a_o name_n above_o other_o and_o call_v it_o great_a riches_n as_o if_o he_o will_v make_v a_o distinction_n between_o riches_n and_o riches_n between_o the_o gain_n of_o covetousness_n and_o the_o gain_n of_o godliness_n the_o peace_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n the_o joy_n of_o riches_n and_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o worldly_a man_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o peace_n and_o joy_n and_o riches_n but_o i_o can_v call_v it_o great_a because_o they_o have_v not_o enough_o they_o be_v not_o content_v as_o the_o godly_a be_v therefore_o only_a godliness_n have_v this_o honour_n to_o be_v call_v great_a riches_n the_o gain_n of_o covetousness_n be_v nothing_o but_o wealth_n but_o the_o gain_n of_o godliness_n be_v wealth_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n and_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o everlasting_a life_n therefore_o only_a godliness_n have_v this_o honour_n to_o by_o call_v great_a gain_n riches_n make_v bate_v but_o godliness_n make_v peace_n riches_n breed_v covetousness_n but_o godliness_n bring_v contentation_n riches_n make_v man_n unwilling_a to_o die_v but_o godliness_n make_v man_n ready_a to_o die_v riches_n often_o hurt_v the_o owner_n but_o godliness_n profit_v the_o owner_n &_o other_o therefore_o only_a godliness_n have_v this_o honour_n to_o be_v call_v great_a riches_n such_o ●●ine_n such_o joy_n such_o peace_n be_v in_o godliness_n and_o yet_o no_o man_n covet_v it_o for_o this_o be_v the_o quality_n of_o virtue_n it_o seem_v nothing_o unto_o a_o man_n until_o he_o have_v it_o as_o solomon_n say_v of_o the_o buier_n while_o he_o be_v in_o buy_v he_o despise_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o buy_v &_o say_v 14._o it_o be_v naught_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o price_n which_o you_o ask_v but_o when_o he_o have_v buy_v it_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v go_v he_o boast_v of_o his_o pennyworth_n and_o say_v it_o be_v better_a than_o his_o money_n so_o godliness_n before_o a_o man_n have_v it_o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o worth_a his_o labour_n and_o think_v every_o hour_n too_o much_o that_o he_o spend_v about_o it_o but_o when_o he_o have_v find_v it_o he_o will_v not_o loose_v it_o again_o for_o all_o the_o world_n because_o he_o be_v now_o come_v to_o that_o which_o follow_v to_o be_v content_v with_o that_o he_o have_v riches_n come_v and_o yet_o the_o man_n be_v not_o please_v honour_n come_v and_o yet_o the_o man_n be_v not_o please_v liberty_n come_v and_o yet_o the_o man_n be_v not_o please_v pleasure_n come_v and_o yet_o the_o man_n be_v not_o please_v 5_o until_o god_n come_v &_o then_o he_o say_v my_o cup_n be_v full_a show_v we_o thy_o father_n say_v philip_n &_o it_o suffice_v 7_o nay_o show_v we_o thy_o truth_n and_o it_o suffice_v now_o my_o soul_n say_v the_o churl_n take_v thy_o rest_n nay_o now_o my_o soul_n take_v thy_o rest_n 19_o for_o thou_o have_v lay_v up_o for_o many_o year_n the_o godly_a man_n have_v find_v that_o which_o the_o world_n do_v seek_v that_o be_v enough_o every_o word_n may_v be_v define_v &_o every_o thing_n may_v be_v measure_v but_o enough_o can_v be_v measure_v nor_o define_v it_o change_v every_o year_n when_o we_o have_v no_o thing_n we_o think_v it_o enough_o if_o we_o may_v obtain_v less_o than_o we_o have_v when_o we_o come_v to_o more_o we_o think_v of_o a_o other_o enough_o now_o we_o have_v more_o we_o dream_v of_o another_o enough_o so_o enough_o be_v always_o to_o come_v though_o too_o much_o be_v there_o already_o this_o be_v because_o we_o seek_v contentation_n in_o the_o thing_n when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o mind_n for_o godliness_n be_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o gain_n of_o godliness_n be_v contentation_n the_o apostle_n speak_v as_o though_o he_o have_v find_v a_o new_a kind_n of_o riches_n which_o the_o world_n never_o think_v of_o that_o be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o they_o will_v satisfy_v a_o man_n like_o the_o water_n that_o christ_n speak_v of_o 4._o he_o that_o drink_v of_o this_o water_n shall_v thirst_v no_o more_o so_o they_o that_o taste_v of_o these_o riches_n shall_v covet_v no_o more_o but_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n fill_v all_o the_o house_n 2._o act._n 2_o so_o y_z e_z grace_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n fill_v all_o the_o hart_n that_o as_o joseph_n have_v no_o need_n of_o astronomy_n because_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n 15_o so_o he_o which_o have_v contentation_n have_v little_a need_n of_o riches_n such_o a_o sweet_a thing_n be_v godliness_n that_o it_o season_v all_o estate_n like_o the_o unicorn_n horue_a which_o dip_v in_o y_z e_z fountain_n &_o make_v the_o water_n which_o be_v corrupt_a &_o noisome_a clear_a &_o wholesome_a upon_o the_o sudden_a so_o whatsoever_o estate_n godliness_n come_v unto_o it_o say_v like_o the_o apostle_n peace_n be_v to_o this_o house_n peace_n be_v to_o this_o heart_n peace_n be_v to_o this_o man_n i_o may_v liken_v it_o to_o the_o five_o loaf_n 9_o and_o two_o fish_n wherewith_o christ_n feed_v five_o thousand_o person_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v twelve_o basket_n full_a of_o that_o which_o be_v leave_v which_o can_v not_o fill_v one_o basket_n when_o it_o be_v whole_a so_o their_o little_a feast_n be_v make_v a_o great_a feast_n so_o the_o godly_a though_o they_o have_v but_o little_a for_o themselves_o yet_o they_o have_v something_o for_o other_o like_o the_o widow_n mite_n that_o they_o may_v say_v as_o the_o disciple_n say_v to_o 12._o christ_n 10_o they_o want_v nothing_o though_o they_o have_v nothing_o contentation_n want_v nothing_o and_o a_o good_a heart_n be_v worth_a all_o for_o if_o she_o want_v bread_n she_o can_v say_v as_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o another_o bread_n 32._o if_o she_o want_v riches_n she_o can_v say_v i_o have_v other_o riches_n if_o she_o want_v strength_n she_o can_v say_v i_o have_v other_o strength_n if_o she_o want_v friend_n she_o can_v say_v i_o have_v other_o friend_n thus_o the_o godly_a and_o all_o within_o that_o the_o godless_a seek_v without_o therefore_o if_o you_o see_v a_o man_n content_v with_o that_o which_o he_o have_v it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n that_o godliness_n be_v enter_v into_o he_o for_o y_z e_z hart_n of_o man_n be_v make_v a_o temple_n for_o god_n and_o nothing_o can_v fill_v it_o but_o god_n alone_o therefore_o paul_n say_v after_o his_o conversion_n that_o which_o he_o can_v never_o say_v before_o his_o conversion_n 4._o i_o have_v learned_a to_o be_v content_a first_o he_o learn_v godliness_n than_o godliness_n teach_v he_o contentation_n now_o say_v paul_n i_o have_v learned_a to_o be_v content_a as_o though_o this_o be_v a_o lesson_n for_o every_o christian_n to_o learn_v to_o be_v content_a for_o thus_o he_o must_v think_v that_o as_o god_n say_v to_o moses_n when_o he_o
