by_o which_o it_o may_v kill_v unto_o a_o second_o death_n he_o glad_o make_v use_v of_o it_o willing_o give_v himself_o to_o it_o as_o to_o a_o messenger_n of_o god_n which_o come_v to_o fetch_v he_o

to_o make_v something_o of_o this_o world_n they_o raise_v great_a plot_n upon_o it_o and_o intend_v to_o bring_v it_o into_o a_o method_n and_o out_o of_o thing_n so_o order_v to_o draw_v some_o great_a happiness_n and_o contentment_n but_o god_n have_v resolve_v the_o contrary_a to_o make_v nothing_o of_o the_o world_n but_o to_o turn_v it_o into_o vanity_n of_o vanity_n he_o have_v set_v

do_v he_o

suffer_v thing_n in_o this_o world_n of_o vanity_n to_o run_v without_o difference_n yea_o often_o without_o present_a justice_n and_o often_o to_o perish_v to_o be_v overthrow_v and_o to_o undergo_v great_a desolation_n now_o man_n mind_n be_v prepare_v to_o receive_v comfort_n from_o the_o world_n fit_v unto_o itself_o &_o god_n mind_n be_v to_o let_v the_o world_n run_v into_o many_o change_n destruction_n and_o final_o unto_o vanity_n itself_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o man_n oftentimes_o have_v their_o purpose_n cross_v by_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n &_o their_o course_n overthrow_v by_o the_o overrule_a destiny_n of_o god_n one_o have_v get_v he_o a_o good_a wife_n a_o good_a house_n and_o a_o good_a demean_n and_o be_v as_o they_o call_v it_o well_o settle_v to_o

to_o prevent_v this_o be_v that_o the_o purpose_n of_o man_n agree_v to_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n and_o according_o that_o man_n expect_v no_o more_o from_o the_o world_n than_o god_n allow_v the_o world_n to_o give_v therefore_o let_v he_o persuade_v himself_o that_o whatsoever_o part_n of_o this_o world_n he_o have_v get_v into_o his_o use_n that_o part_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o whole_a which_o be_v bind_v under_o change_n perish_v and_o vanity_n and_o consequent_o let_v he_o expect_v no_o other_o certainty_n from_o it_o than_o such_o as_o may_v be_v from_o a_o state_n of_o uncertainty_n if_o he_o have_v a_o house_n well_o fit_v a_o wife_n well_o condition_v a_o large_a demean_n beautiful_a and_o towardly_a child_n let_v he_o know_v his_o house_n may_v burn_v his_o

death_n yea_o of_o belial_n let_v he_o therefore_o build_v his_o hope_n on_o these_o thing_n as_o man_n use_v to_o build_v scaffold_n for_o spectacle_n even_o with_o a_o certain_a expectation_n of_o take_v down_o when_o the_o spectacle_n be_v end_v let_v he_o use_v the_o world_n as_o if_o he_o use_v it_o not_o or_o as_o ready_a not_o to_o use_v it_o because_o the_o form_n of_o the_o world_n pass_v away_o when_o god_n providence_n call_v we_o must_v look_v for_o their_o departure_n and_o if_o thus_o expect_v to_o depart_v they_o fall_v from_o we_o ripe_a and_o be_v not_o pull_v from_o

one_o be_v while_o he_o judge_v it_o a_o loathsome_a thing_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v satisfy_v and_o appease_v with_o blood_n which_o though_o it_o seem_v main_o to_o be_v bend_v against_o common_a

himself_o acceptable_a to_o his_o creator_n by_o the_o commemoration_n of_o any_o such_o bloody_a sacrifice_n but_o be_v altogether_o silent_a in_o that_o point_n he_o say_v the_o most_o absolute_a
