every_o man_n can_v well_o enough_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n now_o when_o god_n advance_v a_o man_n in_o such_o wise_n by_o give_v he_o more_o large_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v too_o the_o intent_n he_o shall_v purchase_v himself_o estimation_n and_o not_o rather_o for_o
may_v show_v the_o subjection_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o yield_v unto_o god_n if_o god_n shall_v frame_v himself_o to_o our_o will_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o send_v upon_o we_o a_o man_n can_v

that_o we_o see_v it_o behove_v also_o that_o his_o justice_n shall_v have_v his_o course_n this_o be_v very_o true_a howbeit_o he_o mistake_v it_o in_o that_o he_o will_v have_v god_n justice_n to_o

though_o we_o go_v to_o corruption_n see_v he_o show_v such_o power_n in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n beside_o this_o god_n keep_v a_o steady_a hand_n in_o make_v the_o sun_n to_o rise_v &_o go_v

to_o all_o thing_n which_o god_n command_v in_o like_a manner_n then_o as_o job_n have_v protest_v that_o he_o have_v not_o show_v himself_o cruel_a towards_o the_o fatherless_a and_o poor_a so_o

and_o spread_v out_o his_o wing_n and_o his_o vaingloriousness_n be_v not_o only_o in_o man_n but_o also_o in_o woman_n and_o sure_o we_o see_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o woman_n have_v wherewith_o they_o flow_v in_o pomp_n and_o exceed_v their_o degree_n and_o again_o a_o man_n do_v so_o change_v his_o countenance_n as_o he_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o look_v upon_o his_o neighbour_n but_o at_o

he_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o pride_n that_o appear_v every_o where_o but_o what_o will_v come_v of_o it_o if_o they_o have_v great_a heap_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n or_o if_o they_o have_v all_o

when_o this_o pride_n reign_v in_o man_n undoubted_o there_o be_v a_o double_a idolatry_n the_o one_o be_v that_o he_o bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n will_v fail_v he_o if_o he_o have_v

19_o he_o will_v not_o regard_v thy_o greatness_n nor_o all_o thy_o provision_n nor_o all_o thy_o force_n we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o man_n gain_v nothing_o by_o strive_v against_o god_n but_o rather_o impair_v their_o case_n for_o their_o hardheartedness_n increase_v god_n vengeance_n and_o kindle_v the_o fire_n of_o it_o more_o and_o more_o and_o now_o moreover_o it_o be_v say_v for_o a_o conclusion_n that_o such_o as_o will_v needs_o play_v the_o rebel_n after_o that_o manner_n against_o god_n shall_v die_v in_o the_o flower_n of_o their_o youth_n and_o with_o whoremonger_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v in_o our_o common_a language_n look_v upon_o yonder_o vile_a ribald_a he_o will_v be_v hang_v even_o so_o be_v it_o say_v that_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n shall_v

be_v this_o repeat_a forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o make_v man_n believe_v it_o &_o yet_o not_o withstand_v we_o may_v well_o consider_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v more_o than_o necessary_a for_o we_o for_o affliction_n be_v hard_a &_o cumbersome_a to_o we_o in_o so_o much_o that_o we_o chafe_v &_o fret_v and_o can_v abide_v god_n hand_n but_o rather_o think_v he_o do_v we_o wrong_n because_o we_o know_v not_o the_o fruit_n that_o come_v of_o it_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v tell_v we_o to_o oft_o that_o god_n open_v man_n ear_n when_o he_o afflict_v they_o and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v also_o that_o god_n set_v they_o aside_o or_o shole_v they_o out_o in_o affliction_n true_a it_o be_v that_o some_o translate_v it_o deliver_v according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v take_v in_o that_o sense_n howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v here_o that_o god_n take_v they_o out_o of_o their_o affliction_n but_o it_o be_v set_v down_o in_o or_o by_o affliction_n so_o than_o it_o be_v a_o similitude_n that_o eliu_n use_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n shole_v out_o and_o gather_v to_o himself_o those_o who_o he_o chastize_v because_o that_o when_o man_n be_v in_o prosperity_n they_o wander_v and_o dote_v in_o their_o own_o imagination_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o god_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o and_o make_v they_o to_o feel_v his_o rigour_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v take_v they_o aside_o to_o himself_o to_o show_v they_o their_o fault_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o eliu_n mean_v to_o say_v and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o open_n of_o man_n ear_n by_o affliction_n be_v because_o that_o while_o we_o live_v in_o ease_n and_o pleasure_n our_o eye_n be_v blindfold_a according_a as_o the_o psalm_n say_v that_o when_o man_n be_v in_o prosperity_n their_o eye_n stroute_v with_o fatness_n so_o as_o they_o see_v not_o a_o whit_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v utter_o sot_v in_o their_o sin_n also_o we_o have_v our_o ear_n stop_v in_o prosperity_n and_o can_v hear_v a_o whit_n and_o therefore_o our_o lord_n have_v need_v to_o open_v they_o with_o affliction_n true_o this_o doctrine_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v by_o common_a experience_n and_o we_o need_v not_o to_o seek_v any_o exposition_n of_o it_o as_o of_o a_o dark_a thing_n for_o we_o see_v that_o such_o as_o be_v not_o pinch_v with_o any_o adversity_n can_v away_o with_o any_o correction_n assoon_o as_o they_o be_v but_o speak_v too_o they_o be_v in_o a_o chafe_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v see_v not_o only_o in_o every_o several_a person_n but_o also_o in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o a_o realm_n so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v no_o war_n pestilence_n nor_o famine_n we_o see_v that_o if_o man_n be_v rebuke_v for_o their_o sin_n they_o murmur_v at_o it_o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o resistance_n with_o tooth_n and_o nail_n and_o why_o so_o as_o i_o have_v say_v it_o be_v because_o man_n ear_n be_v stop_v with_o fatness_n and_o can_v abide_v that_o god_n shall_v in_o any_o wise_a tell_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n or_o else_o if_o man_n be_v not_o so_o proud_a as_o to_o strive_v against_o admonishment_n yet_o shall_v it_o little_a avail_n to_o speak_v to_o they_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o find_v fault_n with_o they_o they_o pass_v not_o for_o it_o why_o so_o for_o every_o man_n be_v full_a fraught_n aforehand_o with_o his_o own_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n to_o be_v short_a we_o be_v never_o touch_v till_o god_n hand_n nip_v we_o by_o chastyze_a we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o so_o many_o calamity_n happen_v to_o the_o world_n for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o man_n give_v no_o ear_n unto_o god_n ne_o make_v any_o account_n of_o his_o word_n long_o than_o he_o use_v force_n of_o hand_n against_o they_o when_o he_o see_v they_o so_o puff_v up_o with_o pride_n and_o that_o he_o can_v otherwise_o wield_v they_o he_o tame_v and_o subdue_v
