such_o wise_n as_o many_o of_o they_o yea_o even_o of_o the_o good_a man_n themselves_o shall_v think_v that_o they_o make_v no_o good_a cheer_n except_o they_o disguise_v themselves_o i_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o there_o be_v yet_o many_o other_o evil_a inconvenience_n whereby_o we_o see_v that_o god_n be_v offend_v diverse_a way_n according_a as_o man_n find_v in_o themselves_o afterward_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o job_n do_v not_o without_o cause_n mistrust_n and_o doubt_v least_o his_o child_n have_v sin_v against_o god_n see_v they_o make_v feast_n in_o such_o wise_a notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o faithful_a sort_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o now_o if_o it_o so_o be_v that_o where_o feast_n and_o banquet_n be_v best_a rule_v yet_o there_o be_v some_o fault_n that_o god_n mislike_v how_o be_v it_o with_o they_o that_o drive_v god_n out_o of_o their_o company_n &_o from_o their_o table_n as_o man_n be_v common_o wont_a to_o do_v for_o if_o we_o shall_v speak_v of_o feast_v whereat_o do_v man_n begin_v at_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n nay_o that_o will_v be_v think_v too_o sad_a a_o matter_n therefore_o the_o name_n of_o god_n must_v be_v bury_v have_v a_o man_n well_o suffize_v his_o appetite_n then_o be_v it_o no_o time_n to_o say_v grace_n for_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o remember_v the_o good_a cheer_n that_o they_o have_v make_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v swine_n for_o if_o a_o man_n make_v mention_n of_o god_n it_o will_v be_v think_v that_o all_o the_o pleasure_n which_o they_o have_v take_v in_o their_o feast_n be_v turn_v into_o sorrow_n and_o afterward_o all_o must_v run_v riot_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o talk_n but_o of_o ribawdrie_n and_o wantonness_n or_o rather_o of_o treachery_n and_o malice_n so_o as_o there_o shall_v be_v none_o other_o news_n but_o of_o backbite_a their_o neighbour_n and_o of_o practise_v device_n against_o this_o man_n and_o that_o man_n see_v what_o banquet_n breed_v now_o then_o sith_o that_o man_n be_v so_o incline_v to_o vice_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a but_o there_o must_v be_v some_o fault_n notwithstanding_o that_o they_o give_v not_o themselves_o the_o bridle_n in_o all_o point_n i_o pray_v you_o then_o must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o gulf_n of_o hell_n where_o they_o meet_v together_o to_o make_v compacte_n of_o wickedness_n and_o treason_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o this_o sentence_n to_o the_o end_n that_o sith_o we_o know_v man_n to_o be_v so_o much_o incline_v to_o vice_n that_o they_o mar_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o turn_v it_o into_o evil_n we_o may_v take_v the_o more_o heed_n to_o ourselves_o that_o when_o we_o eat_v and_o drink_v one_o with_o a_o other_o we_o confess_v ourselves_o always_o sinner_n for_o offend_v god_n thereby_o true_a it_o be_v in_o deed_n that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v scrupulous_a and_o superstitious_a as_o some_o be_v which_o eat_v not_o a_o bit_n of_o bread_n with_o quietness_n of_o conscience_n if_o a_o man_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o advise_v themselves_o what_o they_o do_v thereupon_o they_o conclude_v that_o man_n can_v neither_o eat_v nor_o drink_v without_o offend_v of_o god_n and_o when_o they_o be_v once_o come_v to_o such_o scrupulousness_n as_o to_o think_v that_o they_o sin_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v they_o fall_v to_o conclude_v well_o then_o let_v we_o set_v all_o at_o random_n i_o say_v there_o be_v such_o as_o these_o to_o be_v find_v but_o this_o be_v not_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v this_o be_v not_o as_o the_o scripture_n lead_v we_o therefore_o let_v we_o wake_v and_o keep_v sure_a watch_n that_o we_o be_v not_o take_v unwares_o when_o we_o be_v set_v at_o the_o table_n to_o drink_v and_o to_o eat_v let_v we_o pray_v unto_o god_n beseech_v he_o of_o his_o gracious_a goodness_n to_o keep_v we_o in_o such_o sobriety_n that_o be_v nourish_v by_o his_o gift_n we_o may_v be_v the_o better_o dispose_v to_o serve_v he_o so_o as_o our_o meat_n may_v not_o serve_v to_o overcharge_v we_o but_o to_o sustain_v we_o and_o to_o give_v we_o strength_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o occupy_v ourselves_o in_o the_o service_n of_o our_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v grant_v we_o the_o grace_n so_o to_o pass_v through_o these_o corruptible_a thing_n as_o we_o may_v always_o labour_v for_o the_o heavenly_a life_n whereunto_o he_o call_v we_o by_o his_o word_n for_o god_n maintain_v we_o not_o in_o this_o world_n to_o live_v for_o a_o day_n or_o for_o ten_o or_o for_o fifty_o year_n but_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o say_v heavenly_a glory_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o and_o when_o we_o be_v at_o the_o table_n let_v we_o feed_v for_o our_o repast_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o if_o god_n himself_o diet_v we_o and_o although_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n take_v our_o nourishment_n of_o the_o food_n that_o we_o know_v let_v we_o look_v up_o unto_o god_n who_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o and_o have_v witness_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o be_v his_o child_n in_o so_o much_o as_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o these_o our_o poor_a body_n here_o and_o will_v have_v his_o love_n extend_v even_o unto_o they_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v but_o rottenness_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n do_v so_o nourish_v and_o sustain_v we_o we_o may_v be_v the_o merry_a and_o the_o better_o assure_v of_o his_o goodness_n and_o fatherly_a love_n towards_o we_o and_o hereby_o we_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o whither_o we_o drink_v or_o whither_o we_o eat_v we_o must_v do_v it_o altogether_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n there_o be_v many_o which_o suppose_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o think_v upon_o god_n when_o man_n come_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v whereas_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o shall_v therefore_o think_v so_o much_o the_o more_o of_o god_n see_v that_o god_n give_v such_o virtue_n unto_o bread_n by_o his_o word_n that_o we_o be_v sustain_v by_o it_o will_v he_o not_o have_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v his_o presence_n and_o how_o he_o have_v his_o hand_n stretch_v out_o over_o we_o so_o than_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o cause_n that_o we_o shall_v think_v the_o more_o upon_o god_n for_o we_o see_v that_o our_o eat_n and_o drink_v be_v sanctify_v by_o yield_v all_o honour_n to_o his_o name_n and_o therefore_o when_o it_o come_v to_o say_v of_o grace_n let_v we_o acknowledge_v that_o some_o fault_n may_v have_v escape_v we_o and_o then_o will_v god_n sure_o forgive_v we_o all_o our_o misdo_n if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o repair_v unto_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v here_o precise_o that_o when_o job_n child_n have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o feast_v each_o other_o by_o turn_n job_n command_v they_o to_o sanctify_v themselves_o and_o afterward_o offer_v a_o solemn_a sacrifice_n for_o each_o one_o of_o they_o say_v it_o may_v be_v that_o my_o child_n have_v sin_v and_o that_o they_o have_v not_o bliss_v god._n but_o we_o will_v speak_v of_o this_o whole_a matter_n in_o the_o end_n we_o see_v then_o that_o job_n be_v none_o of_o that_o sort_n which_o after_o they_o have_v make_v niceness_n for_o a_o while_n do_v final_o conclude_v to_o set_v all_o at_o random_n but_o he_o go_v to_o the_o remedy_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o god_n will_v bear_v with_o we_o in_o our_o infirmity_n albeit_o say_v he_o that_o my_o child_n have_v not_o do_v their_o duty_n in_o all_o point_n yet_o be_o i_o sure_a that_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n both_o upon_o they_o and_o upon_o i_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o ask_v he_o forgiveness_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o job_n forbid_v not_o his_o child_n to_o use_v their_o accustom_a feast_v and_o wherefore_o for_o the_o thing_n of_o itself_o be_v good_a as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o if_o job_n have_v say_v i_o see_v here_o a_o lewd_a matter_n true_o he_o have_v not_o make_v sacrifice_v for_o that_o have_v be_v to_o abuse_v god_n name_n and_o to_o make_v it_o a_o cloak_n of_o evil_a sacrifice_n be_v not_o ordain_v to_o maintain_v we_o in_o evil_a nor_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v food_n and_o flatter_v himself_o in_o his_o sin_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o may_v do_v sacrifice_n and_o then_o god_n will_v be_v content_v job_n therefore_o sacrifice_v not_o to_o have_v it_o say_v that_o he_o mayneteyn_v a_o evil_a thing_n but_o he_o know_v that_o his_o child_n do_v well_o in_o give_v such_o interteynement_n one_o to_o another_o and_o that_o it_o

must_v not_o trust_v in_o their_o own_o reason_n nor_o think_v themselves_o to_o have_v skill_n enough_o to_o judge_v of_o they_o but_o consider_v how_o it_o belong_v to_o god_n to_o show_v we_o by_o

every_o of_o we_o and_o therefore_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o come_v to_o the_o consider_v of_o god_n work_n let_v we_o lift_v up_o our_o wit_n aloft_o to_o reverence_v they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o

as_o you_o will_v say_v so_o transfigure_v himself_o as_o he_o not_o only_o vouchsafe_v to_o talk_v familiar_o with_o we_o but_o also_o to_o stammer_v and_o lisp_v with_o we_o when_o he_o see_v it_o

to_o be_v teach_v by_o his_o word_n sith_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o our_o capacity_n and_o that_o therein_o god_n have_v not_o overslip_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a and_o profitable_a for_o our_o salvation_n see_v then_o that_o our_o good_a god_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o stoop_v down_o in_o that_o wise_a unto_o we_o and_o yet_o therewithal_o advance_v himself_o to_o frame_v we_o to_o his_o obedience_n let_v we_o be_v the_o willing_a to_o hear_v he_o when_o he_o speak_v and_o let_v we_o no_o more_o make_v this_o fond_a excuse_n that_o god_n word_n be_v to_o high_a and_o dark_a for_o we_o or_o that_o it_o be_v to_o terrible_a or_o that_o it_o be_v too_o simple_a for_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v well_o cast_v up_o our_o account_n we_o shall_v find_v for_o a_o certainty_n that_o our_o lord_n set_v we_o forth_o such_o a_o majesty_n in_o his_o word_n as_o be_v able_a to_o make_v all_o creature_n to_o quake_v and_o yet_o be_v there_o also_o a_o simplicity_n to_o the_o

thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o the_o first_o strain_v be_v that_o god_n speak_v too_o we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n be_v to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v come_v the_o more_o free_o too_o he_o receive_v the_o thing_n with_o better_a leisure_n which_o he_o on_o his_o behalf_n tell_v we_o and_o not_o be_v astonish_v out_o of_o measure_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v dull_a upon_o the_o spur_n and_o yield_v he_o not_o the_o honour_n which_o he_o deserve_v he_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v he_o as_o he_o be_v and_o exalt_v himself_o in_o his_o

it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o he_o to_o have_v give_v some_o token_n of_o his_o presence_n but_o he_o do_v also_o raise_v as_o it_o be_v a_o vehement_a tempest_n we_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o

and_o raise_v this_o whirlwind_n be_v that_o job_n shall_v know_v with_o what_o a_o lord_n he_o have_v to_o deal_v in_o general_n it_o be_v common_o say_v that_o god_n dwell_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o dark_a cloud_n or_o rather_o that_o he_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o light_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o can_v come_v at_o he_o insomuch_o that_o if_o we_o will_v look_v upon_o god_n our_o sense_n dazzle_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o thick_a darkness_n between_o he_o and_o we_o this_o then_o be_v very_o well_o speak_v in_o general_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o be_v over_o inquisitive_a of_o his_o incomprehensible_a determination_n but_o taste_v so_o far_o of_o they_o as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o discover_v they_o unto_o we_o and_o therewithal_o consider_v that_o all_o our_o sense_n fail_v we_o if_o he_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o come_v to_o we_o or_o else_o to_o lift_v we_o up_o to_o he_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o that_o for_o another_o respect_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n because_o of_o our_o sturdiness_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o show_v himself_o terrible_a to_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v fain_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o by_o gentleness_n and_o we_o see_v that_o when_o man_n be_v well_o dispose_v to_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o he_o he_o use_v the_o say_v love_a manner_n of_o invite_v they_o unto_o he_o as_o gentle_o as_o may_v be_v but_o when_o he_o perceive_v any_o sturdiness_n he_o must_v needs_o first_o of_o all_o make_v we_o to_o stoop_v for_o otherwise_o what_o shall_v he_o win_v by_o speak_v too_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o in_o publish_v his_o law_n he_o raze_v thunder_n blue_a trumpet_n in_o the_o air_n and_o make_v all_o to_o shake_v insomuch_o that_o the_o people_n be_v so_o afraid_a as_o they_o say_v let_v not_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o we_o for_o then_o be_v we_o but_o dead_a we_o be_v utter_o undo_v why_o do_v god_n shake_v the_o earth_n after_o that_o manner_n and_o why_o do_v his_o voice_n roar_v with_o such_o terribleness_n mean_v he_o too_o drive_v away_o his_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o hear_v he_o true_o it_o be_v clean_o contrariwise_o say_v that_o he_o give_v not_o his_o law_n in_o vain_a but_o that_o he_o mean_v to_o give_v the_o people_n a_o certain_a rule_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v know_v the_o way_n of_o life_n so_o then_o his_o raise_n of_o whirlwind_n and_o tempest_n in_o the_o air_n be_v not_o too_o scare_v we_o that_o say_v i_o be_v no_o part_n of_o his_o meaning_n but_o it_o serve_v for_o a_o

speak_v without_o these_o token_n which_o be_v add_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n speak_v to_o job_n after_o that_o fashion_n out_o of_o a_o whirlwind_n be_v no_o more_o than_o need_v now_o if_o such_o a_o holy_a man_n who_o have_v
victory_n and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o soon_o set_v down_o one_o article_n but_o he_o be_v able_a to_o have_v come_v too_o another_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o now_o he_o give_v over_o all_o his_o

in_o our_o fondness_n for_o in_o the_o end_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v treat_v of_o heretofore_o namely_o that_o god_n will_v have_v a_o thousand_o article_n for_o one_o then_o let_v we_o keep_v we_o from_o enter_v into_o contention_n with_o he_o and_o also_o let_v we_o stout_o withstand_v all_o the_o fancy_n which_o the_o devil_n put_v into_o our_o head_n if_o he_o go_v about_o to_o make_v we_o chafe_v against_o god_n or_o if_o he_o tempt_v we_o and_o set_v we_o on_o fire_n with_o grudge_v and_o stubbornness_n let_v all_o this_o be_v thrust_v down_o though_o we_o have_v whole_a hundred_o of_o reply_n that_o may_v seem_v fay●e_a and_o good_a this_o do_v it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n begin_v yet_o once_o again_o to_o speak_v out_o of_o the_o whirlwind_n say_v unto_o job_n gird_v up_o thy_o loin_n like_o a_o man_n which_o say_v we_o have_v hear_v heretofore_o now_o if_o a_o man_n may_v think_v it_o strange_a that_o god_n shall_v still_o speak_v terrible_o unto_o job_n and_o as_o it_o be_v defy_v he_o &_o mock_v at_o his_o presumptuousness_n see_v he_o be_v utter_o cast_v down_o in_o himself_o but_o hereby_o a_o man_n may_v see_v that_o when_o we_o be_v humble_v there_o be_v yet_o still_o some_o remnant_n of_o pride_n hide_v in_o we_o which_o appear_v not_o but_o before_o god_n and_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o purge_v we_o of_o it_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o job_n confess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o wretched_a creature_n &_o a_o man_n of_o no_o value_n he_o use_v no_o feinednes_n but_o speak_v as_o his_o heart_n give_v he_o yet_o see_v then_o that_o he_o be_v full_o tame_v and_o come_v to_o a_o meek_a and_o humble_a mind_n desire_v to_o be_v whole_o obedient_a unto_o god_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o need_v to_o be_v chastise_v still_o &_o to_o be_v better_o school_v to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v acknowledge_v himself_o to_o be_v as_o he_o be_v &_o thereupon_o yield_v all_o glory_n and_o praise_n unto_o god_n and_o why_o so_o because_o as_o i_o say_v there_o be_v always_o some_o backenooke_n and_o although_o man_n be_v bring_v unto_o god_n and_o be_v desirous_a too_o frame_v themselves_o too_o god_n will_v yet_o be_v they_o not_o thorough_o cleanse_v of_o all_o pride_n at_o the_o first_o but_o god_n perceive_v that_o there_o be_v still_o some_o secret_a disease_n behind_o the_o which_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o amend_v lo_o here_o a_o very_a notable_a text_n for_o have_v we_o once_o slight_o consess_v that_o god_n afflict_v of_o we_o be_v rightful_a and_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n we_o

once_o in_o a_o word_n or_o twain_o confess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v sinner_n yea_o but_o let_v we_o look_v at_o job_n he_o have_v not_o only_o confess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o no_o value_n

thou_o too_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v fear_v thou_o we_o see_v then_o that_o man_n can_v not_o be_v ground_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n until_o they_o have_v know_v god_n mercy_n and_o take_v hold_n of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n to_o come_v to_o he_o with_o a_o free_a heart_n and_o too_o seek_v he_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o shun_v god_n we_o be_v fierce_a against_o he_o and_o

where_o true_a fear_n be_v for_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o under_o this_o word_n fear_n the_o scripture_n mean_v only_o some_o bondage_n that_o man_n shall_v yield_v unto_o god_n as_o though_o they_o be_v enforce_v thereunto_o but_o this_o fear_n here_o import_v that_o we_o must_v be_v full_o mind_v to_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n hand_n and_o above_o all_o thing_n know_v what_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n be_v and_o yield_v he_o such_o reverence_n as_o we_o may_v be_v true_o join_v unto_o he_o and_o undoubted_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o honour_n that_o

cry_v out_o by_o his_o prophet_n malachi_n if_o i_o be_v your_o master_n where_o be_v your_o fear_n and_o if_o i_o be_v your_o father_n where_o be_v your_o love_n true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o that_o

as_o we_o ought_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o both_o as_o a_o father_n and_o a_o master_n we_o ought_v to_o love_v he_o howbeit_o with_o such_o reverence_n as_o in_o all_o our_o life_n we_o desire_v

unto_o it_o for_o that_o also_o be_v the_o point_n whereat_o we_o must_v begin_v too_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n when_o he_o

for_o a_o certainty_n that_o when_o we_o have_v go_v to_o &_o fro_o all_o that_o ever_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o know_v be_v but_o to_o conceive_v how_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o father_n &_o

than_o we_o see_v that_o to_o fear_n god_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sure_a of_o his_o goodness_n but_o here_o job_n have_v set_v down_o one_o particular_a for_o the_o whole_a purposely_o to_o

be_v to_o be_v desire_v of_o it_o own_o nature_n yea_o and_o that_o we_o will_v fain_o be_v bereave_v of_o it_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v inflame_v with_o such_o zeal_n to_o profit_n

according_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o fantastical_a person_n in_o these_o day_n which_o despise_v god_n word_n because_o as_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o simple_a stuff_n

as_o they_o be_v worthy_a for_o if_o a_o man_n try_v what_o be_v in_o they_o he_o shall_v find_v they_o double_a blind_a and_o that_o our_o lord_n bereave_v they_o of_o common_a reason_n so_o as_o they_o become_v the_o very_a fool_n dolt_n &_o idiote_n in_o the_o world_n see_v i_o pray_v you_o what_o be_v the_o wage_n of_o their_o pride_n that_o make_v no_o account_n of_o god_n word_n true_a it_o be_v that_o at_o the_o first_o blush_n we_o shall_v see_v great_a simplicity_n there_o for_o our_o lord_n use_v no_o high_a stile_n but_o rather_o temper_v himself_o both_o to_o great_a and_o small_a yet_o do_v not_o that_o imbace_n the_o majesty_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n at_o all_o why_o so_o
shall_v god_n goodness_n deface_v his_o glory_n aught_v it_o too_o bar_v we_o from_o humble_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o &_o from_o yield_v he_o his_o due_a honour_n no_o but_o clean_o contrary_a for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o our_o lord_n speak_v so_o gross_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o be_v his_o infinite_a goodness_n who_o see_v our_o wit_n so_o dull_a stammer_v with_o we_o see_v the_o case_n stand_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o yield_v reverence_n to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n notwithstanding_o that_o our_o lord_n use_v a_o ordinary_a manner_n of_o speech_n yea_o even_o such_o a_o gross_a speech_n as_o serve_v for_o homely_a folk_n that_o be_v unlearned_a but_o there_o be_v yet_o more_o for_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v so_o much_o the_o better_o behold_v the_o heavenly_a power_n and_o godly_a majesty_n that_o be_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n see_v there_o be_v no_o paint_v nor_o file_a language_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o worldling_n that_o study_v rhetoric_n and_o colour_v their_o word_n with_o a_o fond_a bravery_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n then_o we_o find_v gross_a language_n but_o behold_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n show_v itself_o therewithal_o there_o be_v no_o fleshly_a nor_o earthly_a thing_n to_o set_v any_o gloss_n upon_o it_o but_o we_o be_v convince_v that_o god_n discover_v his_o own_o arm_n there_o yea_o and_o we_o be_v constrain_v to_o feel_v it_o and_o to_o speak_v it_o and_o therefore_o so_o little_o ought_v the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o cause_v we_o to_o

intend_v too_o give_v a_o good_a and_o sure_a mark_n too_o discern_v the_o faithful_a from_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n it_o say_v let_v they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n praise_v he_o you_o that_o
