than_o we_o no_o this_o shall_v make_v we_o pity_v he_o then_o say_v he_o if_o as_o we_o go_v along_o we_o see_v the_o spirit_n of_o one_o more_o disease_v and_o more_o distemper_v than_o we_o shall_v

we_o may_v see_v to_o what_o a_o height_n a_o gracious_a spirit_n be_v raise_v to_o how_o high_a above_o the_o world_n in_o that_o it_o look_v upon_o the_o riches_n and_o glory_n and_o sweet_a

people_n do_v not_o only_o look_v at_o christ_n and_o grace_n and_o heaven_n as_o above_o the_o riches_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o be_v infinite_o above_o they_o but_o mark_v how_o a_o gracious_a heart_n be_v raise_v above_o the_o world_n take_v the_o very_a dirt_n that_o be_v cast_v upon_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o he_o count_v that_o very_a dirt_n to_o be_v high_a than_o all_o the_o riches_n and_o glory_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o world_n sure_o then_o a_o gracious_a heart_n have_v a_o very_a low_a esteem_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o riches_n and_o glory_n of_o it_o howsoever_o other_o man_n that_o know_v no_o better_a thing_n esteem_v high_o of_o they_o a_o man_n that_o have_v rich_a revenue_n plentiful_a come_n in_o he_o bless_v himself_o in_o this_o

of_o godliness_n as_o a_o high_a preferment_n by_o far_o then_o all_o your_o glory_n and_o rejoice_v more_o in_o it_o and_o bless_v god_n more_o for_o it_o yea_o bless_v himself_o more_o in_o the_o very_o base_a and_o mean_a thing_n that_o attend_v godliness_n then_o in_o all_o your_o riches_n so_o that_o a_o godly_a man_n foot_n be_v where_o a_o wicked_a man_n head_n be_v the_o head_n of_o a_o

as_o the_o very_a reproach_n of_o christ_n be_v more_o to_o he_o then_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n the_o very_a filth_n that_o be_v cast_v upon_o he_o while_o he_o be_v in_o his_o way_n he_o do_v count_n better_o when_o we_o will_v express_v our_o most_o vile_a esteem_n of_o any_o thing_n we_o use_v to_o say_v we_o prize_v it_o no_o more_o than_o the_o dirt_n under_o our_o foot_n then_o sure_o a_o godly_a man_n must_v have_v a_o vile_a esteem_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n for_o he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o prize_v it_o as_o the_o dirt_n that_o be_v cast_v upon_o he_o and_o so_o the_o psalmist_n in_o psal_n 119_o 118._o speak_v of_o the_o vile_a esteem_n that_o god_n have_v of_o the_o wicked_a say_v he_o he_o tread_v they_o down_o under_o his_o foot_n and_o put_v

the_o dirt_n that_o be_v upon_o his_o jewel_n be_v highly_o esteem_v by_o god_n people_n than_o all_o the_o jewel_n of_o the_o world_n the_o scrape_n and_o wash_n that_o come_v from_o the_o trencher_n of_o man_n be_v the_o sweet_a food_n unto_o a_o swine_n so_o that_o which_o be_v the_o sweet_a and_o most_o delightful_a thing_n of_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v mean_a than_o the_o

thorn_n be_v five_o or_o six_o thing_n wherein_o they_o be_v like_o thorn_n first_o thorn_n be_v the_o vile_a plaint_n so_o riches_n be_v to_o a_o gracious_a heart_n second_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o

fly_v away_o three_o in_o regard_n 3._o of_o their_o unfruitfulnes_n thorn_n bear_v nothing_o fit_a for_o man_n so_o riches_n be_v very_o unfruitful_a they_o make_v man_n unfruitful_a four_o in_o regard_n that_o thorn_n be_v such_o hindrance_n to_o better_a thing_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n 4._o say_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o word_n that_o be_v sow_v among_o thorn_n it_o be_v choke_v they_o will_v not_o let_v better_a thing_n grow_v by_o they_o so_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n and_o care_n about_o they_o choke_v up_o all_o and_o hinder_v other_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a five_o they_o be_v compare_v to_o thorn_n in_o regard_n 5._o of_o the_o prickly_a nature_n of_o they_o so_o there_o be_v many_o snare_n in_o riches_n say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o pierce_v themselves_o through_o with_o many_o sorrow_n it_o be_v hard_a for_o a_o man_n to_o go_v through_o thorn_n and_o not_o to_o pierce_v himself_o he_o may_v be_v in_o the_o outside_n of_o they_o and_o not_o pierce_v himself_o so_o though_o a_o man_n be_v busy_a in_o the_o world_n he_o may_v keep_v himself_o from_o prick_v but_o if_o he_o be_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o the_o world_n he_o will_v be_v prick_v as_o the_o sheep_n that_o be_v get_v into_o the_o thorn_n will_v lose_v part_n of_o her_o fleece_n so_o god_n people_n will_v lose_v part_n of_o their_o good_a among_o the_o world_n last_o many_o venomous_a creature_n as_o 6._o snake_n and_o toad_n and_o the_o like_a be_v creep_v and_o crawl_v in_o the_o thorn_n so_o many_o venomous_a lust_n be_v hide_v by_o riches_n a_o outward_a glorious_a estate_n do_v hide_v many_o filthy_a lust_n these_o argument_n may_v for_o ever_o teach_v we_o to_o look_v upon_o these_o thing_n as_o very_o mean_a and_o low_a four_o if_o
