so_o far_o off_o from_o take_v these_o thing_n as_o pledge_n of_o his_o love_n that_o the_o more_o he_o lay_v upon_o we_o that_o way_n the_o more_o we_o think_v he_o hate_v us._n and_o the_o reason_n

ground_n true_a it_o be_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a every_o good_a man_n will_v confess_v it_o that_o neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o can_v indeed_o either_o do_v we_o good_a in_o this_o life_n or_o further_o we_o unto_o eternal_a salvation_n to_o make_v we_o without_o excuse_n and_o defence_n before_o god_n and_o in_o ourselves_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o some_o power_n they_o have_v otherwise_o than_o as_o they_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o almighty_a work_n of_o the_o bless_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o when_o or_o where_o or_o howsoever_o god_n deal_v with_o we_o we_o shall_v present_o and_o unfeigned_o humble_v ourselves_o in_o prayer_n and_o call_v and_o crave_v for_o grace_n to_o profit_v thereby_o howbeit_o though_o that_o i_o mean_v the_o gracious_a work_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o our_o heart_n be_v a_o principal_a mean_n of_o our_o spiritual_a profit_v yet_o neither_o be_v it_o the_o only_a neither_o indeed_o do_v it_o fol_z low_o thereupon_o that_o the_o other_o above_o recite_v shall_v be_v reject_v or_o refuse_v for_o even_o as_o in_o our_o natural_a life_n the_o first_o and_o chief_a cause_n of_o all_o be_v god_n himself_o who_o as_o he_o give_v it_o we_o so_o uphold_v it_o and_o maintain_v it_o according_a to_o his_o good_a will_n that_o be_v here_o true_a that_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o he_o we_o live_v we_o move_v &_o have_v our_o be_v and_o yet_o no_o man_n so_o unwise_a as_o to_o refuse_v meat_n drink_n cloth_n sleep_n and_o other_o necessary_a help_n and_o aide_n that_o way_n for_o that_o be_v to_o tempt_v god_n and_o to_o live_v if_o some_o one_o or_o other_o can_v do_v it_o rather_o a_o miraculous_a than_o a_o natural_a life_n so_o in_o our_o spiritual_a life_n though_o god_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n work_v all_o in_o all_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o they_o that_o he_o have_v mark_v out_o unto_o eternal_a blessedness_n yet_o no_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n or_o care_v for_o his_o own_o salvation_n neglect_v much_o less_o despise_v the_o word_n sacrament_n prayer_n admonition_n exhortation_n rebuke_n public_a private_a etc._n etc._n but_o more_o careful_o frequent_v and_o more_o religious_o use_v the_o same_o and_o labour_v

that_o therefore_o we_o come_v as_o indeed_o unto_o the_o life_n and_o soul_n of_o the_o other_o thing_n before_o go_v and_o therein_o direct_v our_o speech_n as_o first_o to_o the_o whole_a land_n
