man_n of_o good_a member_n christ_n say_v that_o the_o body_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o the_o raiment_n but_o some_o of_o our_o gallant_n make_v they_o clothes_n more_o worth_a than_o their_o body_n with_o i_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o say_v i_o will_v wear_v this_o because_o it_o become_v i_o but_o i_o will_v wear_v this_o because_o it_o become_v a_o man_n and_o he_o that_o speak_v to_o my_o clothes_n and_o not_o to_o i_o shall_v be_v answer_v by_o my_o clothes_n and_o not_o by_o i_o 19_o some_o be_v never_o well_o but_o when_o they_o be_v unpack_v their_o bosom_n with_o word_n and_o whisper_v their_o thought_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o their_o repute_a friend_n &_o at_o length_n through_o the_o perfidiousnes_n of_o some_o fall_v brother_n they_o be_v bring_v either_o to_o die_v shameful_a death_n or_o to_o live_v the_o like_a life_n if_o therefore_o i_o find_v my_o tongue_n to_o be_v so_o laxative_a as_o that_o it_o can_v hold_v but_o must_v needs_o bewray_v i_o i_o will_v lock_v my_o secret_n deep_a in_o my_o hart_n &_o if_o my_o tongue_n unlock_v my_o heart_n i_o will_v bite_v it_o and_o beat_v my_o heart_n for_o not_o tie_v my_o tongue_n i_o will_v not_o do_v god_n so_o great_a a_o dishonour_n as_o to_o demy-deifie_a man_n in_o make_v he_o privy_a to_o my_o heart_n and_o thought_n 20_o nothing_o give_v we_o delight_v in_o this_o world_n but_o beauty_n we_o take_v pleasure_n in_o behold_v heaven_n when_o it_o be_v fair_a and_o clear_a but_o when_o it_o be_v overcast_v our_o mind_n be_v cloud_v and_o our_o body_n ill_o dispose_v we_o love_v vesta_n better_a when_o her_o face_n be_v smooth_a and_o her_o colour_n fresh_a than_o when_o her_o beauty_n be_v blast_v and_o her_o visage_n wrinkle_v for_o in_o summer_n every_o man_n lie_v with_o &_o upon_o his_o first_o mother_n nuzzle_v himself_o in_o her_o lap_n and_o play_v with_o her_o dainty_n whereas_o in_o the_o winter_n every_o man_n keep_v his_o house_n and_o yet_o if_o that_o be_v not_o neat_a and_o sweet_a we_o loathe_v that_o too_o one_o and_o the_o something_o be_v young_a delight_n be_v old_a displease_v i_o will_v therefore_o joy_v in_o nothing_o more_o than_o in_o beauty_n nor_o admire_v any_o thing_n more_o than_o she_o yet_o since_o she_o be_v such_o a_o enchantress_n my_o bodily_a eye_n shall_v never_o behold_v she_o but_o withal_o my_o spiritual_a eye_n shall_v be_v fix_v upon_o her_o maker_n who_o make_v she_o to_o feed_v the_o sense_n not_o to_o bewitch_v the_o soul_n who_o leave_v she_o we_o to_o make_v we_o conceive_v how_o much_o more_o excellent_a be_v that_o inconceiveable_a fairness_n of_o the_o celestial_a canaan_n in_o a_o word_n she_o be_v but_o a_o corruptible_a type_n of_o a_o incorruptible_a treasure_n and_o as_o christ_n shall_v consume_v antichrist_n with_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o glory_n so_o shall_v the_o blaze_a beauty_n of_o the_o other_o world_n blast_v the_o fade_a fairness_n of_o this_o 21_o more_o than_o many_o there_o be_v to_o who_o superstition_n dictate_v that_o it_o be_v please_v to_o god_n to_o wear_v squalid_a and_o unclean_a clothes_n and_o that_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o soul_n consist_v in_o the_o foul_a keep_n of_o the_o body_n other_o there_o be_v who_o hypocrisy_n lead_v the_o same_o way_n they_o both_o err_v the_o former_a by_o not_o know_v the_o scripture_n the_o late_a by_o transgress_v against_o they_o for_o christ_n command_v we_o not_o to_o look_v sour_a as_o the_o hypocrite_n who_o disfigure_v their_o face_n that_o they_o may_v seem_v unto_o man_n to_o fast_o i_o will_v therefore_o wash_v my_o hand_n and_o face_n and_o anoint_v my_o head_n that_o my_o head_n my_o bee_n anoint_a with_o the_o oil_n of_o gladness_n and_o since_o i_o can_v endure_v to_o see_v the_o lodging_n of_o my_o body_n dirty_a i_o will_v much_o more_o have_v a_o care_n to_o keep_v the_o chamber_n of_o my_o soul_n clean_o when_o my_o soul_n be_v sad_a my_o countenance_n shall_v be_v merry_a neither_o will_v i_o so_o much_o care_n to_o cast_v up_o my_o eye_n to_o heaven_n as_o to_o lift_v up_o my_o heart_n to_o god_n not_o so_o much_o respect_v the_o throne_n as_o the_o enthrone_v 22_o many_o there_o be_v who_o never_o serve_v god_n but_o when_o he_o serve_v their_o turn_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o seaman_n mutter_v against_o he_o when_o he_o have_v not_o a_o good_a wind_n &_o the_o ploughman_n when_o he_o have_v bad_a weather_n all_o this_o proceed_v from_o nothing_o but_o the_o imprudency_n of_o man_n which_o accuse_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n of_o improvidency_n before_o there_o be_v any_o rain_n at_o all_o what_o do_v god_n then_o do_v he_o not_o send_v a_o mist_n up_o from_o the_o earth_n which_o water_v all_o the_o earth_n he_o will_v not_o have_v his_o power_n tie_v to_o any_o ordinary_a mean_a but_o will_v show_v we_o what_o he_o be_v by_o what_o he_o can_v do_v when_o therefore_o my_o own_o mean_n fail_v i_o i_o will_v rely_v upon_o god_n who_o be_v as_o able_a to_o give_v i_o something_o as_o to_o make_v i_o of_o nothing_o to_o keep_v i_o to_o the_o last_o as_o to_o make_v i_o at_o the_o first_o 23_o he_o that_o strive_v to_o please_v the_o intoxicated_a multitude_n labour_v as_o much_o in_o vain_a as_o he_o that_o seek_v to_o put_v the_o wind_n in_o a_o bag_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v the_o godly_a and_o ungodly_a the_o judicial_a and_o the_o unjudiciall_a the_o sensible_a &_o the_o senseless_a both_o at_o once_o neither_o christ_n nor_o his_o forerunner_n can_v please_v they_o for_o john_n come_v neither_o eat_n nor_o drink_v and_o they_o say_v he_o have_v a_o devil_n the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v eat_v and_o drink_v and_o they_o say_v behold_v a_o glutton_n and_o a_o drinker_n of_o wine_n a_o friend_n to_o publican_n and_o sinner_n i_o will_v therefore_o take_v my_o saviour_n counsel_n &_o seek_v to_o justify_v my_o judgement_n to_o the_o child_n of_o wisdom_n of_o who_o she_o be_v justify_v and_o not_o to_o fool_n by_o who_o she_o be_v daily_o crucify_v 24_o as_o many_o have_v hungry_a stomach_n but_o few_o digest_v so_o many_o have_v apprehend_v wit_n but_o few_o judge_v hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o some_o be_v wise_a in_o word_n &_o fool_n in_o action_n for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v rather_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o i_o be_o one_o of_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o town_n then_o that_o i_o be_o one_o of_o the_o wit_n of_o the_o town_n 25_o diverse_a man_n propound_v unto_o themselves_o diverse_a end_n one_o make_v honour_v his_o end_n another_o riches_n a_o three_o hunt_v after_o both_o a_o four_o seek_v to_o purchase_v to_o himself_o the_o name_n and_o fame_n of_o a_o scholar_n a_o five_o of_o a_o soldier_n etc._n etc._n as_o for_o i_o i_o will_v make_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n my_o end_n so_o shall_v i_o be_v sure_a that_o my_o end_n shall_v not_o be_v dishonourable_a 26_o i_o have_v often_o wonder_v with_o myself_o to_o think_v that_o scholar_n be_v the_o most_o poor_a of_o all_o other_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o have_v the_o best_a wit_n of_o all_o other_o and_o my_o wonder_n never_o leave_v i_o till_o i_o consider_v that_o they_o care_v not_o for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n which_o the_o mothe_a &_o canker_n can_v corrupt_v but_o lay_v up_o their_o treasure_n in_o the_o other_o world_n whereas_o they_o who_o know_v nothing_o but_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n carkt_v and_o care_v most_o for_o the_o world_n some_o say_v that_o because_o solomon_n use_v the_o riches_n he_o have_v so_o ill_a therefore_o god_n will_v never_o since_o bless_v scholar_n with_o they_o but_o that_o be_v false_a for_o we_o see_v king_n philosopher_n and_o divine_n i_o will_v beseech_v god_n to_o give_v i_o a_o estate_n equal_o distant_a from_o abundance_n and_o penury_n so_o shall_v i_o never_o rise_v so_o high_a as_o presumption_n nor_o fall_v so_o low_a as_o despair_v yet_o of_o the_o two_o i_o have_v rather_o have_v nothing_o than_o know_v nothing_o that_o my_o body_n shall_v want_v than_o my_o soul_n 27_o the_o hermit_n be_v reprehend_v for_o
