38.11_o my_o lover_n and_o my_o friend_n stand_v aside_o from_o my_o plague_n and_o my_o kinsman_n stand_v afar_o off_o this_o be_v not_o only_o find_v among_o those_o feign_a friend_n as_o the_o world_n be_v full_a of_o but_o even_o among_o such_o from_o who_o we_o shall_v expect_v better_o as_o we_o see_v in_o job_n friend_n they_o be_v such_o as_o will_v be_v think_v good_a man_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o all_o their_o discourse_n and_o yet_o see_v how_o cruel_o they_o deal_v with_o their_o poor_a friend_n in_o his_o affliction_n far_o worse_o than_o david_n friend_n speak_v of_o former_o they_o be_v strange_a and_o stand_v a_o far_o off_o but_o these_o come_v near_o to_o help_v to_o grieve_v and_o vex_v job_n in_o his_o great_a extremity_n as_o if_o that_o be_v all_o they_o have_v now_o to_o do_v for_o their_o poor_a friend_n to_o strive_v who_o shall_v grieve_v he_o most_o it_o be_v a_o sad_a thing_n to_o find_v this_o love_n want_v in_o our_o friend_n from_o whence_o we_o expect_v better_a and_o this_o make_v the_o prophet_n david_n to_o utter_v that_o bitter_a complaint_n against_o his_o hollow_a heart_a counsellor_n it_o be_v my_o familiar_a friend_n etc._n etc._n psal_n 41.9_o but_o what_o may_v the_o lord_n say_v look_v back_o david_n how_o be_v vriah_n that_o poor_a friend_n of_o thou_o deal_v with_o his_o life_n take_v from_o he_o in_o the_o high_v proof_n of_o his_o friendship_n thus_o we_o complain_v of_o the_o want_n of_o love_n in_o other_o but_o do_v not_o think_v of_o our_o want_n of_o love_n to_o they_o but_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n with_o simon_n the_o pharisee_n who_o formality_n make_v he_o believe_v his_o condition_n to_o be_v better_a than_o it_o be_v as_o christ_n show_v he_o and_o all_o we_o by_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n that_o penitential_a pattern_n luke_n 7.44_o then_o he_o turn_v to_o the_o woman_n and_o say_v unto_o simon_n see_v thou_o this_o woman_n i_o enter_v into_o thy_o house_n and_o thou_o give_v i_o not_o

i_o come_v in_o have_v not_o cease_v to_o kiss_v my_o foot_n etc._n etc._n and_o then_o conclude_v verse_n 47._o that_o where_o little_o be_v forgive_v they_o will_v love_v little_a who_o can_v read_v this_o scripture_n with_o dry_a eye_n to_o see_v how_o short_a we_o come_v of_o this_o woman_n which_o the_o pharisee_n think_v so_o vile_a that_o it_o make_v he_o to_o call_v in_o question_n whether_o christ_n be_v a_o prophet_n because_o he_o admit_v she_o to_o come_v so_o near_o he_o she_o come_v behind_o not_o presume_v to_o behold_v that_o holy_a saviour_n and_o at_o his_o foot_n account_v it_o happiness_n enough_o to_o enjoy_v the_o mean_a place_n about_o christ_n and_o then_o see_v how_o she_o express_v her_o love_n she_o wash_v his_o foot_n with_o tear_n wipe_v they_o with_o the_o hair_n of_o her_o head_n kiss_v and_o anoint_v they_o her_o love_n force_v all_o this_o from_o she_o but_o the_o sense_n of_o her_o sin_n stop_v her_o mouth_n we_o hear_v no_o word_n she_o speak_v our_o practice_n be_v contrary_a we_o speak_v much_o and_o with_o boldness_n but_o we_o have_v no_o other_o expression_n but_o our_o word_n where_o be_v our_o love_n to_o the_o saint_n where_o be_v our_o wash_n weep_a and_o anoint_v sure_o the_o want_n of_o these_o show_n that_o we_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o great_a love_n of_o our_o sweet_a saviour_n to_o we_o and_o by_o the_o little_a love_n we_o have_v witney_n to_o god_n and_o the_o world_n that_o we_o think_v little_a be_v forgive_v we_o and_o as_o little_a do_v we_o consider_v what_o be_v give_v we_o how_o have_v god_n blessed_v this_o kingdom_n of_o england_n make_v it_o fruitful_a suffer_v none_o to_o prevail_v against_o we_o but_o deliver_v we_o in_o a_o most_o unheard-of_a way_n and_o leave_v we_o to_o praise_v
