much_o we_o do_v not_o say_v lord_n give_v we_o so_o much_o and_o so_o much_o bread_n to_o teach_v we_o all_o to_o leave_v the_o particular_n to_o the_o lord_n we_o pray_v to_o be_v content_v with_o

the_o first_o be_v when_o a_o man_n have_v no_o call_v no_o employment_n no_o ability_n to_o do_v business_n and_o yet_o be_v idle_a mispend_v his_o time_n and_o be_v careless_a of_o himself_o this_o man_n do_v not_o eat_v his_o own_o bread_n because_o he_o do_v nothing_o to_o make_v it_o his_o own_o etc._n etc._n second_o the_o bread_n of_o wickedness_n and_o of_o the_o fatherless_a when_o a_o

this_o also_o be_v none_o of_o his_o own_o bread_n and_o so_o can_v be_v eat_v with_o peace_n of_o conscience_n therefore_o let_v we_o look_v to_o eat_v of_o our_o own_o the_o devil_n come_v to_o

time_n of_o death_n be_v the_o most_o unable_a for_o repentance_n and_o the_o worst_a wherefore_o now_o o_o you_o my_o hearer_n let_v my_o counsel_n this_o day_n be_v acceptable_a in_o your_o eye_n and_o ear_n remember_v now_o your_o 1._o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o your_o youth_n health_n and_o strength_n the_o soon_o it_o be_v do_v the_o better_a easy_a and_o more_o comfortable_a will_v your_o life_n and_o death_n be_v do_v therefore_o in_o this_o as_o abraham_n do_v when_o he_o sacrifice_v isaac_n he_o rise_v abraham_n up_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n so_o we_o shall_v rise_v up_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n of_o our_o age_n and_o youth_n ●o_o offer_v up_o ourselves_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n unto_o god_n as_o a_o live_a sacrifice_n our_o isaac_n must_v at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o be_v sacrifice_v therefore_o let_v we_o repent_v and_o bewail_v our_o sin_n betimes_o for_o it_o be_v a_o special_a point_n of_o prudence_n to_o do_v that_o betimes_o which_o must_v needs_o be_v do_v thus_o of_o the_o general_n now_o for_o the_o particular_a time_n of_o repentance_n there_o be_v six_o thing_n considerable_a the_o first_o be_v when_o a_o man_n have_v commit_v any_o new_a sin_n then_o be_v a_o special_a time_n for_o he_o to_o renew_v his_o repentance_n as_o he_o have_v renew_v his_o sin_n so_o david_n do_v 2._o sam._n 24._o 10._o 10._o where_o it_o be_v record_v that_o david_n heart_n smite_v he_o after_o that_o he_o have_v number_v the_o people_n thus_o by_o and_o by_o he_o renew_v his_o repentance_n after_o that_o he_o have_v confess_v and_o see_v his_o sin_n so_o peter_n math._n 26._o 73._o it_o be_v write_v of_o he_o that_o after_o he_o have_v remember_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n he_o go_v out_o and_o weep_v bitter_o thus_o every_o new_a act_n of_o 73._o sin_n must_v have_v a_o new_a act_n of_o repentance_n as_o i_o have_v say_v if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o arm_n or_o a_o leg_n out_o of_o joint_n he_o can_v never_o joint_n be_v quiet_a until_o it_o be_v set_v and_o put_v in_o order_n again_o so_o shall_v it_o be_v in_o our_o commit_n of_o sin_n for_o because_o every_o sin_n set_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o joint_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v quiet_a until_o repentance_n have_v put_v all_o in_o frame_n again_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o if_o a_o candle_n be_v blow_v candle_n out_o if_o a_o man_n by_o and_o by_o run_v to_o the_o fi●e_n with_o it_o the_o soon_o he_o come_v the_o easy_a it_o will_v be_v light_v again_o and_o the_o soon_o and_o the_o long_o he_o ●arries_v the_o long_a it_o will_v be_v ere_o it_o take_v fire_n even_o so_o when_o a_o man_n fall_v into_o any_o sin_n the_o soon_o he_o repent_v of_o it_o the_o more_o easy_a and_o better_o it_o will_v be_v for_o he_o and_o the_o long_o he_o defer_v his_o repentance_n the_o hard_a it_o will_v before_o he_o to_o bring_v his_o heart_n to_o the_o duty_n therefore_o it_o will_v be_v best_a for_o we_o to_o take_v the_o best_a course_n which_o may_v bring_v we_o unto_o salvation_n no_o soon_o to_o have_v sin_v but_o present_o thereupon_o also_o to_o renew_v our_o repentance_n as_o the_o wise_a man_n counsel_n be_v my_o son_n if_o prou._n thou_o have_v sin_v defer_v not_o thy_o repentance_n second_o it_o be_v a_o special_a time_n of_o repentance_n when_o any_o judgement_n of_o god_n either_o public_a or_o private_a fall_n upon_o we_o as_o the_o prophet_n show_v isa._n 26._o 16._o lord_n in_o trouble_n have_v 16._o they_o visit_v thou_o they_o pour_v out_o a_o prayer_n when_o thy_o chasten_n be_v upon_o they_o so_o lament_v 3._o 40._o say_v the_o church_n 40._o let_v we_o search_v and_o try_v our_o way_n and_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n when_o god_n send_v sickness_n blindness_n or_o lameness_n loss_n in_o our_o good_n friend_n reputation_n preferment_n or_o such_o like_a then_o be_v a_o special_a tune_n to_o repent_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a thing_n that_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n come_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o so_o questionless_a god_n will_v renew_v his_o judgement_n if_o we_o renew_v our_o sin_n which_o can_v be_v remove_v but_o by_o repentance_n if_o a_o man_n house_n be_v on_o fire_n fire_n he_o will_v carry_v out_o his_o flax_n and_o tow_n wood_n and_o straw_n with_o every_o thing_n else_o which_o be_v fit_a and_o likely_a to_o augment_v the_o fire_n and_o then_o do_v he_o cry_v for_o help_n and_o pour_v on_o water_n to_o quench_v it_o even_o so_o because_o our_o sin_n do_v nourish_v the_o fire_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o will_v consume_v our_o soul_n if_o we_o do_v not_o carry_v they_o out_o of_o sight_n by_o repentance_n therefore_o we_o shall_v set_v about_o this_o work_n and_o take_v away_o all_o that_o matter_n which_o may_v increase_v the_o fire_n of_o god_n vengeance_n upon_o we_o which_o be_v to_o put_v away_o our_o sin_n by_o repentance_n as_o we_o see_v deut._n 9_o 20._o moses_n do_v for_o thus_o 20._o he_o record_v it_o and_o the_o lord_n be_v very_o angry_a with_o aaron_n to_o have_v destroy_v he_o and_o i_o pray_v for_o aaron_n the_o same_o time_n here_o you_o see_v how_o a_o judgement_n be_v remove_v by_o aaron_n repentance_n and_o moses_n prayer_n we_o see_v if_o the_o king_n writ_n be_v out_o against_o a_o man_n to_o attach_v he_o bailiff_n and_o sheriff_n lie_v in_o wait_n for_o he_o in_o every_o corner_n to_o arrest_v he_o such_o a_o man_n will_v present_o labour_v to_o compass_v the_o matter_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o agreement_n for_o fear_n of_o imprisonment_n so_o when_o the_o writ_n of_o god_n be_v out_o against_o we_o

to_o be_v wise_a for_o our_o soul_n and_o immortality_n than_o they_o be_v for_o a_o little_a temporal_a punishment_n in_o this_o life_n and_o to_o make_v a_o good_a use_n of_o god_n judgement_n
