therefore_o there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o draw_v they_o out_o of_o the_o ditch_n and_o

of_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v give_v forth_o in_o old_a time_n in_o figure_n and_o shadow_n therefore_o let_v we_o cast_v ourselves_o flat_a before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n

although_o they_o be_v call_v power_n principality_n and_o virtue_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o god_n have_v resign_v his_o own_o office_n unto_o they_o it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o have_v

to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v be_v spread_v out_o overall_a we_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n work_v in_o such_o wise_n by_o mean_a of_o his_o angel_n in_o the_o govern_n of_o worldly_a matter_n that_o all_o of_o they_o come_v to_o account_v afore_o he_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o nothing_o can_v escape_v he_o and_o furthermore_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n also_o come_v among_o the_o angel_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o wound_v himself_o in_o thither_o as_o some_o have_v understand_v it_o that_o he_o crowd_v himself_o into_o the_o company_n to_o make_v himself_o a_o good_a page_n but_o contrariwise_o the_o holy_a ghostment_n to_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o not_o only_o the_o

not_o so_o sound_v a_o perfection_n as_o he_o have_v afore_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o although_o his_o adversity_n pinch_v he_o so_o as_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o he_o shall_v have_v faint_v in_o the_o mid_n of_o his_o way_n he_o hold_v on_o his_o course_n still_o with_o still_a purpose_n too_o obey_v god_n howbeit_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n as_o say_v s._n paul_n he_o accomplish_v not_o the_o good_a that_o he_o desire_v paul_n in_o that_o place_n treat_v of_o himself_o and_o confess_v that_o although_o his_o whole_a desire_n be_v to_o give_v himself_o unto_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o come_v not_o so_o to_o pass_v but_o he_o be_v hinder_v by_o his_o own_o nature_n which_o be_v overweake_a if_o s._n paul_n acknowledge_v so_o much_o of_o himself_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o the_o like_a shall_v happen_v to_o job_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v be_v desirous_a too_o frame_v himself_o to_o the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o his_o affection_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o perfect_a in_o all_o point_n but_o that_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o halt_n and_o to_o stoop_v and_o herein_o we_o see_v that_o which_o happen_v too_o our_o father_n jacob_n at_o such_o time_n as_o god_n mean_v too_o cause_v we_o too_o understand_v that_o whensoever_o the_o faithful_a encounter_n against_o temptation_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v without_o carry_v away_o of_o some_o curse_v blow_n that_o shall_v leave_v their_o mark_n behind_o they_o we_o see_v how_o jacob_n wrestle_v with_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n and_o wherefore_o not_o for_o that_o

therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o patriarch_n jacob_n strive_v and_o wrestle_v with_o the_o angel_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o god_n mean_v too_o exercise_v he_o and_o also_o that_o jacob_n

to_o say_v as_o mighty_a towards_o god_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n go_v he_o away_o with_o the_o victory_n without_o touch_n of_o breast_n no_o but_o he_o have_v his_o thigh_n crush_a in_o

withstand_v temptation_n namely_o that_o in_o some_o point_n they_o may_v chance_v to_o stoop_v yea_o even_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o god_n shall_v humble_v they_o all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n that_o they_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o know_v their_o own_o infirmity_n till_o they_o groan_v again_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n in_o incounter_v and_o god_n

such_o inward_a heaviness_n of_o mind_n as_o they_o shall_v not_o know_v which_o way_n too_o turn_v they_o yea_o and_o so_o far_o overshoot_v themselves_o as_o to_o use_v word_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v excuse_v but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o infirmity_n the_o strength_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o cease_v too_o dwell_v still_o in_o they_o and_o to_o hold_v they_o up_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o shall_v feel_v themselves_o too_o have_v always_o some_o good_a affection_n and_o that_o although_o their_o leg_n fail_v they_o yet_o their_o heart_n shall_v hold_v his_o own_o still_o as_o the_o proverb_n say_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o sentence_n but_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v wherein_o job_n overshoot_v himself_o and_o how_o

seem_v that_o job_n mean_v be_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o unbelief_n &_o of_o all_o the_o sin_n and_o vice_n that_o be_v in_o we_o be_v because_o we_o come_v and_o descend_v of_o adam_n race_n and_o we_o come_v not_o of_o adam_n but_o as_o concern_v our_o body_n where_o do_v sin_n dwell_v where_o have_v he_o his_o proper_a seat_n in_o the_o soul_n but_o there_o be_v no_o show_n of_o

we_o too_o understand_v the_o chief_a point_n in_o two_o or_o three_o word_n which_o be_v to_o mind_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o man_n

not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o that_o be_v otherwise_o true_a it_o be_v that_o although_o jesus_n christ_n be_v very_a man_n yet_o be_v he_o exempt_v from_o all_o our_o uncleanness_n but_o that_o be_v because_o he_o be_v concevy_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n ordain_v peculiarly_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v conceive_v by_o power_n from_o above_o and_o why_o to_o the_o end_n that_o adam_n uncleanness_n may_v not_o light_v into_o he_o nor_o he_o be_v defile_v therewith_o but_o when_o that_o we_o be_v conceive_v forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o common_a order_n of_o man_n nature_n we_o be_v subject_a too_o the_o say_a corruption_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o find_v any_o one_o mortal_a wight_n that_o be_v not_o full_a of_o all_o unrighteousness_n save_v only_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o why_o for_o let_v we_o mark_v from_o whence_o we_o come_v so_o then_o we_o have_v to_o call_v to_o remembrance_n what_o have_v be_v touch_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n in_o what_o wise_a we_o ought_v to_o allege_v unto_o god_n the_o shortness_n of_o our_o life_n and_o the_o misery_n whereunto_o the_o same_o be_v subject_n which_o be_v to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v have_v pity_n upon_o we_o and_o not_o to_o murmur_v against_o he_o howbeit_o therewithal_o we_o must_v also_o mislike_v of_o our_o own_o life_n and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o if_o we_o wist_v well_o
a_o thing_n be_v it_o when_o we_o convey_v it_o over_o unto_o creature_n and_o god_n have_v but_o the_o refuse_v of_o other_o man_n leave_n this_o be_v the_o common_a deal_n in_o the_o popedom_n and_o not_o only_o the_o idiot_n as_o i_o have_v say_v but_o the_o great_a clerk_n be_v the_o follower_n of_o the_o devilish_a doctrine_n that_o be_v maintain_v there_o and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o all_o christian_n belief_n have_v be_v destroy_v and_o abolish_v there_o and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o magnify_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n for_o pluck_v we_o out_o of_o so_o bottomless_a pit_n &_o so_o much_o the_o better_a ought_v we_o stick_v to_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v declare_v here_o which_o be_v to_o believe_v steadfast_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o seek_v our_o god_n in_o vain_a if_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o truth_n because_o forasmuchas_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v hear_v we_o yea_o and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o tarry_v until_o we_o open_v

hear_v they_o to_o be_v short_a we_o can_v give_v credit_n unto_o god_n but_o as_o for_o our_o own_o lie_n we_o believe_v they_o too_o much_o for_o this_o cause_n god_n ratify_v the_o promise_n which_o he_o have_v make_v that_o he_o will_v hear_v we_o but_o we_o must_v note_v to_o what_o end_n god_n be_v so_o gracious_a unto_o we_o and_o so_o ready_a to_o help_v we_o in_o all_o our_o

from_o above_o and_o that_o they_o can_v require_v god_n again_o nor_o present_v he_o with_o any_o thing_n save_o only_a with_o praise_n and_o thank_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n what_o

so_o then_o if_o we_o will_v glorify_v god_n let_v we_o learn_v too_o reach_v out_o our_o knowledge_n far_o and_o wide_o according_a as_o example_n be_v give_v we_o here_o and_o how_o for_o a_o man_n

therefore_o that_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o come_v down_o too_o we_o and_o too_o lift_v we_o up_o unto_o he_o thus_o must_v we_o humble_v ourselves_o with_o all_o reverence_n too_o the_o end_n that_o god_n may_v lift_v we_o up_o too_o he_o and_o show_v himself_o too_o we_o and_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o otherwise_o we_o can_v never_o attain_v unto_o yesee_v then_o how_o we_o must_v reach_v out_o our_o knowledge_n a_o far_o when_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v concern_v god_n now_o be_v this_o well_o observe_v we_o shall_v profit_v after_o another_o manner_n than_o we_o do_v both_o by_o sermon_n and_o lecture_n but_o what_o as_o for_o they_o that_o come_v too_o sermon_n how_o be_v they_o dispose_v too_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v set_v forth_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o they_o too_o come_v too_o the_o church_n and_o too_o show_v themselves_o there_o and_o therefore_o they_o go_v their_o way_n as_o ill_o as_o they_o come_v or_o rather_o worse_a for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n shall_v punish_v they_o with_o blindness_n which_o do_v so_o despise_v the_o inestimable_a treasure_n of_o his_o gospel_n when_o man_n come_v thither_o lazy_o without_o any_o mind_n and_o there_o fall_v into_o their_o dump_n and_o consider_v not_o that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o speak_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o may_v do_v he_o honour_n and_o receive_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v go_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n be_v they_o not_o traitor_n to_o god_n in_o yield_v so_o little_a honour_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o why_o god_n blind_v they_o when_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n either_o we_o will_v be_v proud_a so_o as_o we_o do_v but_o overrun_v matter_n upon_o trust_n of_o our_o own_o wit_n as_o though_o we_o be_v sufficient_a judge_n to_o determine_v upon_o all_o thing_n or_o else_o we_o mingle_v god_n word_n with_o our_o worldly_a affection_n and_o furthermore_o we_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o reach_v out_o our_o knowledge_n a_o far_o that_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v forepossess_v with_o our_o own_o fond_a and_o trifle_a imagination_n and_o with_o our_o wicked_a lust_n which_o hold_v we_o as_o it_o be_v lock_v and_o bow_v down_o so_o as_o we_o can_v lift_v up_o our_o head_n unto_o heaven_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o see_v so_o slender_a profit_v and_o that_o such_o as_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o faithful_a know_v not_o what_o god_n be_v neither_o do_v desire_v too_o know_v therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v by_o the_o example_n of_o eliu_n to_o lift_v up_o our_o knowledge_n and_o to_o reach_v it_o out_o a_o far_o when_o there_o be_v any_o talk_n of_o god_n and_o let_v we_o learn_v also_o to_o do_v he_o the_o honour_n too_o dispose_v ourselves_o too_o look_v reverent_o unto_o he_o for_o that_o also_o be_v a_o accomplish_n of_o this_o say_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o god_n be_v near_o unto_o the_o lowly_a and_o show_v himself_o too_o such_o as_o distrust_v in_o themselves_o without_o challenge_v to_o they_o any_o drop_n of_o goodness_n as_o of_o themselves_o and_o final_o as_o often_o as_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n let_v we_o not_o give_v our_o own_o brain_n the_o bridle_n but_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o reach_v out_o our_o knowledge_n further_o eliu_n add_v that_o he_o will_v prove_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a which_o make_v he_o here_o we_o see_v whereunto_o all_o our_o talk_n ought_v to_o tend_v when_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n namely_o to_o the_o maintain_v of_o his_o glory_n and_o what_o doctrine_n soever_o be_v refer_v to_o that_o end_n we_o must_v hold_v it_o for_o good_a and_o holy_a like_v as_o when_o man_n reason_n and_o dispute_v too_o diminish_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o frowardness_n how_o fair_a colour_n soever_o they_o pretend_v so_o then_o whensoever_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n to_o prove_v he_o righteous_a that_o be_v to_o say_v too_o yield_v he_o his_o duty_n so_o as_o he_o may_v be_v magnify_v at_o our_o hand_n and_o we_o acknowledge_v he_o such_o as_o he_o will_v be_v know_v to_o be_v that_o all_o mouth_n may_v be_v shut_v and_o have_v no_o occasion_n too_o mislike_v of_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o talk_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v concern_v our_o god_n must_v be_v to_o sanctify_v his_o name_n according_a also_o we_o we_o desire_v in_o the_o prayer_n that_o we_o use_v every_o day_n and_o eliu_n add_v immediate_o that_o his_o word_n shall_v be_v void_a of_o untruth_n and_o that_o he_o will_v show_v unto_o job_n that_o his_o knowledge_n be_v perfect_a here_o he_o protest_v that_o he_o will_v not_o mingle_v any_o thing_n with_o the_o good_a doctrine_n nor_o go_v about_o too_o disguise_v it_o and_o sure_o it_o be_v one_o point_n further_a which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o we_o open_v our_o mouth_n to_o treat_v of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o work_n and_o word_n there_o must_v not_o be_v any_o mingle_n with_o it_o but_o pureness_n must_v be_v keep_v so_o as_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o speak_v be_v whole_a and_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v poison_v even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o all_o such_o as_o make_v a_o fair_a show_n and_o do_v indeed_o allege_v good_a and_o true_a say_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o do_v interlace_n they_o with_o lie_n and_o error_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o then_o that_o he_o which_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o teacher_n must_v not_o only_o regard_v to_o have_v good_a say_n but_o special_o endeavour_n too_o have_v this_o simplicity_n that_o he_o neither_o add_v nor_o diminish_v any_o thing_n from_o god_n pure_a doctrine_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v a_o well_o rule_v faith_n we_o must_v go_v by_o that_o line_n and_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o in_o teach_v we_o use_v nothing_o too_o guide_v we_o but_o the_o pure_a will_n of_o god_n and_o that_o all_o

we_o say_v will_v have_v his_o word_n preach_v in_o singleness_n i_o say_v if_o we_o have_v not_o that_o mind_n with_o we_o we_o shall_v perceive_v in_o the_o end_n that_o we_o have_v be_v out_o of_o
