the_o further_o draw_v back_o from_o he_o wherefore_o we_o see_v that_o job_n be_v a_o man_n of_o wonderful_a virtue_n see_v that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o such_o riches_n he_o have_v not_o his_o eye_n blindfold_a to_o conceive_v any_o pride_n in_o his_o heart_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v tread_v other_o folk_n under_o his_o foot_n or_o forget_v god_n or_o become_v a_o dissolute_a vain_a and_o pompous_a person_n but_o hold_v on_o his_o race_n which_o he_o have_v begin_v lo_o here_o the_o virtue_n that_o be_v commendable_a in_o he_o and_o this_o be_v do_v to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o we_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o be_v full_a equal_a with_o he_o yet_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v look_v to_o himself_o and_o go_v on_o forward_o to_o the_o mark_n that_o be_v set_v afore_o he_o furthermore_o we_o see_v also_o that_o riches_n of_o themselves_o be_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v as_o some_o fantastical_a person_n surmise_v who_o hold_v opinion_n that_o a_o rich_fw-fr man_n can_v not_o be_v a_o christian_n for_o let_v they_o find_v i_o any_o of_o the_o poor_a that_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o job_n in_o this_o virtue_n and_o then_o let_v they_o condemn_v riches_n but_o when_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v seek_v throughout_o all_o the_o poor_a man_n in_o the_o world_n hardly_o shall_v he_o find_v one_o that_o shall_v come_v any_o thing_n near_o this_o man_n see_v then_o that_o the_o case_n be_v so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o riches_n of_o themselves_o and_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v and_o special_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a blasphemy_n against_o god_n if_o a_o man_n find_v such_o fault_n with_o riches_n that_o he_o think_v the_o party_n which_o possess_v they_o to_o be_v utter_o mar_v for_o from_o whence_o come_v riches_n but_o from_o god_n therefore_o when_o a_o man_n condemn_v they_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o god_n and_o further_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o mark_n that_o god_n must_v needs_o work_v far_o more_o marvellous_o in_o a_o rich_a man_n than_o in_o a_o poor_a man_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o for_o i_o have_v already_o show_v the_o difficulty_n that_o a_o man_n have_v to_o maintain_v himself_o in_o simplicity_n and_o uprightness_n when_o he_o have_v abundance_n of_o good_n then_o have_v god_n need_v to_o utter_v a_o singular_a force_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o preserve_v rich_a man_n from_o corrupt_v of_o themselves_o but_o if_o a_o man_n despise_v such_o a_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v he_o not_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o god_n hereby_o than_o we_o be_v warn_v not_o to_o condemn_v riches_n in_o themselves_o like_o also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v show_v we_o by_o match_v the_o poor_a and_o the_o rich_a together_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o lazarus_n in_o saint_n luke_n he_o say_v there_o that_o the_o angel_n carry_v lazarus_n for_o albeit_o that_o he_o be_v a_o outcast_n among_o man_n &_o a_o poor_a creature_n of_o who_o no_o account_n be_v make_v in_o somuch_o that_o he_o be_v forsake_v of_o all_o man_n yet_o nevertheless_o behold_v how_o the_o angel_n carry_v his_o soul_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n and_o what_o be_v this_o abraham_n a_o man_n rich_a both_o in_o cattle_n and_o in_o money_n and_o in_o household_n and_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n save_v house_n and_o land_n for_o those_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o have_v because_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o tarry_v god_n leisure_n till_o he_o give_v he_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n to_o inherit_v true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o purchase_v a_o bury_a place_n but_o he_o have_v not_o any_o inheritance_n notwithstanding_o that_o his_o movable_n be_v very_o great_a therefore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o soul_n of_o lazarus_n carry_v by_o angel_n into_o the_o bosom_n of_o abraham_n who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a we_o perceive_v that_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a grace_n and_o goodness_n call_v both_o rich_fw-fr and_o poor_a to_o salvation_n and_o unto_o this_o purpose_n make_v that_o also_o which_o s._n paul_n say_v namely_o that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v for_o he_o speak_v of_o king_n and_o prince_n who_o of_o ordinary_a do_v missebehave_v themselves_o in_o their_o greatness_n and_o can_v not_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o stoop_v unto_o god_n yea_o it_o seem_v to_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v no_o mortal_a man_n and_o yet_o god_n pick_v out_o some_o of_o they_o to_o himself_o &_o will_v not_o have_v all_o to_o be_v lose_v and_o to_o perish_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v yet_o for_o all_o this_o the_o rich_a man_n must_v not_o flatter_v themselves_o but_o rather_o know_v how_o they_o stand_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o you_o where_o they_o may_v soon_o slide_v and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v among_o thorn_n so_o as_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o look_v diligent_o to_o themselves_o for_o be_v prick_v lo_o how_o each_o one_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v touch_v with_o carefulness_n to_o commend_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v according_a to_o his_o will._n and_o upon_o this_o say_n that_o job_n have_v seven_o son_n and_o three_o daughter_n i_o note_v how_o it_o do_v we_o too_o wit_n that_o god_n have_v send_v his_o blessing_n upon_o he_o to_o make_v he_o prosper_v by_o all_o mean_n and_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o we_o shall_v hereafter_o better_v see_v the_o cause_n why_o all_o this_o be_v express_v and_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v a_o incomparable_a virtue_n in_o job_n to_o bear_v patient_o god_n take_v away_o of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v put_v into_o his_o hand_n and_o it_o be_v very_o well_o declare_v also_o how_o his_o child_n behave_v themselves_o and_o how_o he_o himself_o also_o on_o his_o part_n govern_v they_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v do_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v understand_v that_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o he_o show_v by_o effect_n that_o he_o can_v dispose_v of_o his_o creature_n at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v at_o our_o wit_n end_n and_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n handle_v man_n so_o rough_o yet_o it_o become_v we_o to_o cast_v down_o our_o eye_n and_o to_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o to_o wait_v his_o leisure_n until_o he_o discover_v unto_o we_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o dispose_v
devil_n of_o hell_n which_o be_v enemy_n and_o rebel_n to_o he_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o their_o power_n which_o labour_n to_o subvert_v his_o majesty_n and_o practice_v to_o confound_v all_o thing_n so_o as_o they_o be_v force_v spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n to_o be_v subject_a unto_o god_n and_o to_o yield_v he_o account_v of_o all_o their_o do_n and_o can_v not_o do_v any_o thing_n without_o his_o permission_n and_o leave_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o what_o wise_a satan_n appear_v among_o the_o angel_n but_o yet_o by_o the_o way_n the_o manner_n of_o their_o deal_n be_v diverse_a for_o when_o the_o angel_n guide_v we_o and_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v command_v they_o have_v the_o nature_n to_o apply_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o have_v none_o other_o

earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n because_o we_o see_v so_o much_o counterfeit_v and_o so_o many_o horrible_a rebellion_n against_o god_n here_o below_o we_o desire_v he_o to_o settle_v his_o

he_o in_o all_o point_n whether_o so_o ever_o he_o list_v to_o lead_v they_o and_o hereby_o we_o see_v why_o the_o angel_n be_v in_o this_o place_n express_o term_v child_n of_o god_n and_o the_o devil_n by_o his_o proper_a title_n of_o adversary_n for_o so_o do_v the_o word_n satan_n signify_v in_o hebrew_n true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n be_v oftentimes_o call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n because_o he_o have_v print_v his_o image_n in_o they_o special_o in_o the_o faithful_a for_o asmuch_o as_o they_o be_v reform_v to_o the_o likeness_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v

we_o can_v not_o gainsay_v he_o but_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v in_o uprightness_n and_o simplicity_n why_o do_v god_n deliver_v he_o into_o satan_n hand_n if_o a_o man_n say_v oh_o he_o do_v but_o

our_o rawness_n for_o god_n have_v no_o need_n too_o ask_v satan_n all_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v present_a with_o he_o howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o understand_v not_o that_o it_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n too_o have_v some_o such_o manner_n of_o speech_n as_o we_o be_v better_o acquaint_v with_o and_o that_o god_o shall_v not_o show_v himself_o such_o a_o one_o as_o he_o be_v in_o

can_v they_o enjoy_v it_o for_o ever_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o continue_v the_o say_a grace_n which_o he_o have_v put_v into_o they_o and_o like_v as_o we_o speak_v of_o life_n so_o must_v we_o

that_o be_v because_o god_n execute_v his_o power_n by_o they_o and_o guide_v they_o to_o be_v short_a the_o angel_n have_v nothing_o in_o themselves_o whereof_o to_o make_v their_o boast_n for_o

will_v deal_v rigorous_o with_o they_o very_o this_o seem_v strange_a to_o such_o as_o be_v not_o exercise_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o if_o we_o wist_v what_o the_o righteousness_n of_o

to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o all_o creature_n be_v small_a in_o estimation_n of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o god_n which_o be_v utter_o infinite_a therefore_o we_o must_v always_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o one_o &_o the_o other_o we_o see_v the_o angel_n have_v wonderful_a power_n &_o virtue_n special_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o for_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o angel_n abide_v in_o the_o degree_n of_o creature_n yet_o may_v we_o well_o glorify_v they_o but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n the_o greatness_n of_o he_o must_v

the_o rest_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o because_o god_n have_v grant_v that_o creature_n to_o have_v more_o brightness_n than_o the_o other_o star_n all_o of_o they_o must_v needs_o he_o overshadow_a so_o as_o no_o star_n can_v be_v pereeyve_v when_o the_o sun_n have_v his_o full_a power_n and_o what_o will_v be_v do_v they_o when_o god_n himself_o come_v forth_o as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n

which_o be_v speak_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n find_v lack_n in_o his_o angel_n although_o they_o be_v his_o servant_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o let_v but_o that_o the_o service_n which_o the_o angel_n do_v unto_o god_n be_v perfect_a according_a to_o the_o perfection_n that_o can_v be_v in_o creature_n likewise_o as_o in_o that_o respect_n when_o in_o pray_v we_o desire_v

which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o as_o long_o as_o we_o go_v no_o further_o but_o to_o the_o degree_n &_o state_n of_o creature_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o perfection_n in_o the_o angel_n very_o such_o

more_o when_o the_o sun_n give_v his_o light_n furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o how_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v to_o gather_v together_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o thereby_o he_o show_v that_o the_o angel_n have_v their_o steadfastness_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n forsomuch_o as_o he_o be_v the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o his_o creature_n true_a it_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n redeem_v not_o the_o angel_n for_o they_o need_v not_o to_o be_v ransom_v from_o death_n whereunto_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o fall_v but_o yet_o be_v he_o their_o mediator_n and_o how_o so_o to_o the_o intent_n to_o join_v they_o unto_o god_n in_o all_o perfection_n &_o afterward_o to_o maintain_v

for_o those_o that_o be_v so_o wed_v to_o their_o own_o opinion_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n set_v they_o forth_o to_o be_v a_o mockery_n and_o reproach_n so_o as_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o

notwithstanding_o this_o his_o hold_v of_o his_o peace_n be_v not_o without_o stubborness_n but_o when_o job_n speak_v of_o hold_v his_o peace_n he_o mean_v that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v warn_v it_o

as_o for_o example_n look_v upon_o a_o poor_a man_n who_o god_n scourge_v and_o why_o the_o man_n oftentimes_o know_v not_o why_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o end_n god_n will_v turn_v

much_o the_o more_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n and_o to_o advise_v ourselves_o well_o that_o we_o plead_v not_o against_o god_n when_o he_o afflict_v we_o for_o sear_v lest_o he_o put_v we_o to_o such_o reproach_n as_o we_o shall_v not_o know_v where_o to_o become_v and_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o trouble_v he_o in_o vision_n by_o night_n according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v already_o heretofore_o that_o he_o have_v not_o to_o do_v with_o man_n to_o feel_v pain_n in_o his_o body_n only_o but_o that_o above_o all_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o abide_v

that_o can_v be_v and_o that_o he_o have_v lever_n be_v hang_v than_o to_o be_v in_o such_o case_n and_o how_o so_o those_o be_v the_o word_n of_o a_o man_n in_o despair_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v

to_o the_o feel_n of_o the_o sorrow_n that_o pinch_v he_o hereupon_o then_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o if_o god_n have_v not_o spare_v his_o servant_n job_n it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v torment_v as_o he_o be_v true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n know_v what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v will_v not_o suffer_v the_o temptation_n to_o be_v so_o great_a as_o they_o have_v be_v in_o man_n who_o have_v receive_v more_o strength_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n than_o we_o but_o yet_o must_v every_o of_o we_o be_v visit_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o

as_o many_o help_n to_o our_o salvation_n
be_v great_o too_o the_o deface_a of_o my_o glory_n and_o majesty_n you_o see_v then_o what_o job_n chief_a meaning_n be_v furthermore_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n that_o this_o present_a sentence_n

look_v upon_o man_n in_o himself_o you_o shall_v see_v so_o poor_a a_o creature_n as_o it_o may_v well_o seem_v that_o god_n ought_v not_o too_o have_v respect_n of_o he_o or_o too_o cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o he_o now_o then_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n not_o only_o vouchsafe_v too_o govern_v man_n but_o also_o make_v they_o lord_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n according_a as_o it_o be_v

have_v so_o dispose_v all_o thing_n to_o serve_v we_o and_o to_o succour_v our_o necessity_n it_o seem_v that_o god_n bear_v we_o such_o a_o love_n as_o he_o put_v all_o that_o he_o have_v under_o our_o hand_n say_v i_o withhold_v nothing_o from_o you_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o wretchedness_n and_o poorness_n of_o man_n yield_v a_o great_a beauty_n to_o god_n goodness_n and_o mercy_n than_o if_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o that_o can_v provoke_v he_o to_o do_v we_o good_a thus_o you_o see_v david_n plain_n mean_v and_o this_o thing_n be_v special_o fulfil_v in_o

not_o only_o to_o shake_v we_o but_o also_o to_o put_v we_o to_o such_o a_o plunge_n as_o we_o shall_v be_v quite_o overthrow_v then_o must_v man_n be_v well_o advise_v to_o fence_v themselves_o

and_o as_o it_o be_v to_o keep_v watch_n and_o ward_n over_o our_o life_n and_o too_o have_v a_o fatherly_a â–ª_o care_v of_o we_o as_o we_o can_v never_o magnify_v his_o grace_n to_o much_o yea_o and_o when_o he_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o his_o chasten_n of_o we_o be_v not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o

even_o till_o he_o have_v take_v we_o up_o into_o his_o heavenly_a glory_n to_o continue_v with_o he_o for_o ever_o and_o now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o sin_n pray_v he_o that_o whereas_o we_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n so_o many_o way_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o too_o continue_v stubborn_a in_o our_o vice_n

as_o we_o may_v not_o be_v utter_o past_o hope_n but_o may_v comfort_v ourselves_o in_o that_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o be_v our_o god_n and_o to_o assist_v we_o to_o the_o end_n and_o thereupon_o

upon_o the_o eight_o chapter_n 1_o baldad_n the_o suit_n answer_v and_o say_v 2_o howelong_a will_v thou_o hold_v such_o talk_n the_o word_n of_o thy_o mouth_n be_v as_o a_o vehement_a wind_n 3_o

afore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o job_n friend_n undertake_v a_o evil_a case_n have_v notwithstanding_o good_a argument_n &_o good_a reason_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o misapply_v they_o nevertheless_o the_o doctrine_n be_v in_o itself_o both_o holy_a &_o profitable_a so_o if_o we_o take_v the_o thing_n general_o that_o be_v speak_v here_o we_o shall_v find_v good_a sentence_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n you_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o baldad_n pretend_v be_v to_o maintain_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o punish_v man_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o find_v fault_n with_o he_o and_o without_o question_n all_o this_o doctrine_n be_v not_o only_o good_a but_o also_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n there_o be_v none_o other_o fault_n in_o it_o but_o that_o baldad_n will_v needs_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o person_n of_o job._n for_o as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o the_o intent_n of_o that_o holy_a man_n be_v not_o too_o blame_v god_n nor_o too_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o he_o but_o he_o make_v his_o moan_n that_o the_o misery_n which_o he_o have_v endure_v be_v to_o grievous_a and_o heavy_a for_o he_o consider_v his_o feebleness_n &_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o glorify_v god_n still_o and_o so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o baldad_n have_v a_o evil_a case_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n that_o which_o he_o set_v down_o here_o be_v good_a and_o righteous_a &_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o receive_v it_o because_o it_o be_v fit_v for_o our_o edification_n like_a as_o when_o he_o say_v that_o such_o as_o plead_v after_o that_o sort_n against_o god_n do_v turmoil_n themselves_o like_o the_o wind_n in_o the_o air_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v leave_v the_o person_n of_o job_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o take_v the_o thing_n general_o that_o be_v contain_v here_o we_o hear_v how_o the_o wicked_a and_o unbeliever_n do_v spew_v out_o their_o blasphemy_n in_o rail_v at_o god_n justice_n and_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o shall_v thunder_v and_o lighten_v but_o what_o all_o their_o word_n be_v but_o wind_n and_o they_o wash_v away_o and_o they_o can_v not_o reach_v so_o high_a with_o they_o as_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n show_v itself_o therein_o and_o so_o in_o this_o sentence_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v first_o that_o when_o we_o hear_v these_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n we_o must_v not_o be_v dismay_v therefore_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o always_o glorify_v god_n for_o he_o continue_v whole_a and_o sound_o as_o he_o be_v and_o man_n can_v abate_v his_o majesty_n though_o they_o rail_v at_o it_o with_o full_a mouth_n all_o be_v but_o wind_n and_o vanity_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n as_o touch_v the_o second_o let_v every_o of_o we_o learn_v to_o speak_v of_o god_n sober_o and_o with_o all_o reverence_n and_o humbleness_n so_o as_o we_o cast_v not_o forth_o such_o a_o wind_n as_o be_v mention_v here_o for_o although_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o prejudice_n god_n by_o any_o manner_n of_o mean_n yet_o will_v not_o he_o fail_v to_o take_v vengeance_n of_o they_o that_o endeavour_n too_o lift_v up_o themselves_o after_o that_o sort_n against_o he_o by_o cast_v for_o the_o proud_a and_o presumptuous_a word_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o if_o we_o have_v once_o settle_v that_o thing_n in_o our_o heart_n which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n teach_v we_o the_o same_o will_v hold_v we_o in_o true_a steadfastness_n and_o afterward_o when_o we_o speak_v after_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o shall_v not_o only_o cast_v forth_o goodly_a blast_n but_o god_n shall_v be_v exalt_v and_o magnify_v in_o all_o our_o talk_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o for_o the_o principal_a will_v god_n pervert_v judgement_n and_o right_a will_v the_o almighty_a overthrow_n justice_n here_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o yield_v god_n the_o honour_n of_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o equity_n and_o right_n and_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o good_a and_o rightful_a some_o can_v well_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o grant_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o acknowledge_v he_o not_o to_o be_v righteous_a as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o the_o one_o of_o they_o must_v not_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o other_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v thing_n in_o god_n which_o can_v be_v divide_v one_o from_o another_o true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o behoove_v we_o too_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o wisdom_n and_o the_o goodness_n and_o the_o justice_n and_o the_o almightiness_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o respect_n that_o he_o be_v god_n all_o these_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o he_o at_o once_o and_o they_o must_v be_v as_o it_o be_v himself_o or_o his_o very_a be_v then_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o be_v surmise_v not_o a_o lawless_a power_n in_o god_n as_o if_o he_o govern_v the_o world_n like_o a_o tyrant_n and_o use_v excess_n or_o cruelty_n but_o let_v we_o understand_v whereas_o he_o have_v all_o thing_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o be_v of_o endless_a power_n and_o do_v all_o thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v righteous_a it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v partly_o hide_v from_o we_o so_o as_o we_o comprehend_v it_o not_o but_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v of_o his_o mightiness_n also_o and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o be_v we_o able_a to_o measure_v it_o by_o our_o with_o and_o understanding_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o can_v and_o therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v speak_v of_o god_n righteousness_n and_o justice_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o the_o same_o be_v not_o full_o know_v and_o manifest_a unto_o we_o yet_o we_o must_v honour_v and_o reverence_v it_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o device_n be_v a_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o that_o he_o dwell_v in_o unapproachable_a light_n so_o as_o we_o can_v reach_v so_o high_a
in_o the_o mire_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v wash_v himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n will_v find_v mean_n to_o shake_v i_o off_o as_o a_o wretched_a and_o unperfect_a creature_n &_o although_o i_o have_v give_v my_o mind_n to_o all_o pureness_n that_o my_o life_n may_v be_v rule_v by_o his_o law_n and_o by_o his_o ordinance_n and_o that_o my_o work_v might_n be_v good_a and_o holy_a yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o say_a pureness_n shall_v be_v but_o filth_n if_o god_n rightfulness_n pass_v upon_o it_o and_o i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o this_o present_a lesson_n ought_v well_o to_o astonish_v we_o for_o though_o we_o be_v as_o pure_a as_o the_o angel_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o able_a too_o stand_v but_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o uphold_v

we_o be_v like_o the_o angel_n alas_o be_v there_o any_o cause_n why_o we_o shall_v advance_v ourselves_o see_v we_o drink_v sin_n as_o a_o fish_n suck_v in_o water_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o this_o self_n same_o book_n see_v we_o cease_v not_o to_o go_v against_o the_o rule_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o and_o see_v we_o perceive_v not_o some_o one_o condemnation_n but_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o yea_o &_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o condemnation_n before_o we_o alas_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o man_n pride_n hereby_o we_o see_v what_o rage_n or_o rather_o fury_n have_v be_v &_o still_o be_v in_o the_o popedom_n in_o allege_v their_o own_o merit_n for_o the_o wretched_a folk_n be_v so_o puff_v up_o with_o pride_n as_o they_o ween_v themselves_o able_a to_o purchase_v

of_o overplusse_n or_o supererogation_n as_o they_o term_v they_o and_o all_o these_o be_v payment_n too_o discharge_v themselves_o with_o against_o god_n the_o devil_n must_v needs_o have_v be_v

shall_v be_v in_o such_o trouble_n at_o time_n for_o unto_o man_n understanding_n it_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a thing_n that_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v keep_v god_n law_n that_o be_v to_o say_v

when_o we_o be_v egg_v after_o that_o sort_n we_o must_v hold_v ourselves_o in_o awe_n &_o learn_v to_o know_v that_o god_n rightfulness_n the_o which_o we_o can_v comprehend_v as_o now_o be_v hide_v

unto_o we_o you_o see_v how_o god_n do_v in_o his_o law_n show_v himself_o a_o judge_n too_o condemn_v we_o and_o in_o his_o gospel_n he_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n to_o acquit_v we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o he_o command_v we_o to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o righteous_a and_o therewithal_o threaten_v we_o that_o if_o we_o have_v fail_v in_o any_o thing_n we_o must_v

stand_v for_o if_o we_o perish_v yet_o have_v we_o no_o cause_n to_o grudge_v at_o it_o again_o if_o god_n call_v we_o too_o himself_o offer_v we_o his_o grace_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o show_v that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o you_o see_v yet_o a_o great_a cause_n too_o glorify_v he_o in_o his_o righteousness_n forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v pull_v we_o out_o of_o hell_n and_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n you_o see_v then_o by_o this_o how_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o double_a wise_a when_o he_o utter_v himself_o unto_o we_o by_o his_o

no_o further_a knowledge_n but_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o god_n justice_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o rest_v there_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o job_n speak_v of_o

be_v we_o desirous_a i_o say_v too_o taste_v what_o the_o heavenly_a life_n be_v first_o we_o must_v know_v too_o what_o end_n we_o be_v bear_v yea_o even_o according_a as_o we_o be_v sinner_n in_o

for_o that_o they_o can_v bethink_v they_o of_o god_n justice_n as_o they_o ought_v too_o do_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o come_v too_o that_o point_n howbeit_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v how_o

which_o god_n pronounce_v against_o we_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n i_o say_v when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o we_o must_v also_o beware_v that_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o swallow_v up_o

with_o we_o no_o death_n can_v be_v dreadful_a unto_o we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o david_n say_v that_o god_n sheephooj_n shall_v comfort_v he_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o in_o the_o darkness_n when_o as_o he_o speak_v of_o god_n sheephooj_v he_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o nothing_o so_o long_o as_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n towards_o he_o

according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o god_n turn_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_a see_v we_o know_v this_o we_o have_v too_o rejoice_v in_o that_o by_o

before_o god_n be_v not_o able_a too_o overmaster_v we_o nor_o to_o take_v away_o this_o pride_n and_o presumptuousness_n of_o our_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o speak_v

if_o i_o have_v afterward_o offend_v he_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o balance_n thus_o we_o will_v diminish_v the_o fault_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v or_o else_o we_o allege_v thus_o though_o i_o have_v offend_v in_o this_o behalf_n be_v this_o man_n altogether_o innocent_a now_o when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n and_o these_o thing_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o will_v use_v the_o same_o talk_n with_o god_n as_o we_o do_v with_o mortal_a man_n but_o we_o be_v deceive_v and_o why_o what_o be_v that_o we_o can_v charge_v he_o withal_o what_o can_v

for_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n do_v summon_v we_o before_o he_o and_o stir_v we_o up_o too_o acknowledge_v ouâ—e_a fault_n it_o boot_v not_o to_o seek_v any_o reply_n or_o to_o

as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o eliphas_n do_v job_n great_a injury_n and_o wrong_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n intend_v here_o to_o teach_v we_o the_o order_n which_o we_o must_v keep_v for_o to_o be_v true_o humble_v before_o god_n lest_o we_o become_v hard_o heart_v and_o by_o that_o mean_n provoke_v his_o vengeance_n in_o strive_v against_o he_o to_o be_v brief_a let_v we_o note_v that_o man_n shall_v never_o feel_v themselves_o sinner_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v except_o they_o do_v particular_o consider_v themselves_o and_o afterward_o enter_v into_o a_o account_n as_o it_o be_v by_o parcelmeale_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v never_o make_v a_o end_n but_o we_o must_v always_o conclude_v with_o david_n who_o can_v understand_v his_o fault_n but_o yet_o we_o may_v not_o therefore_o say_v that_o thing_n must_v be_v pass_v over_o light_o and_o not_o be_v search_v out_o to_o the_o ground_n if_o a_o earthly_a judge_n can_v be_v sharp_a witted_a and_o attentive_a too_o hear_v a_o process_n which_o be_v but_o for_o the_o life_n of_o one_o man_n must_v not_o we_o i_o pray_v you_o when_o we_o have_v offend_v our_o god_n have_v therein_o a_o great_a care_n yea_o and_o when_o the_o process_n be_v not_o criminal_a but_o only_o for_o some_o small_a sum_n of_o money_n yet_o must_v the_o judge_n look_v near_o too_o it_o too_o

be_v but_o for_o ten_o or_o twenty_o florin_n for_o a_o hundred_o crown_n or_o for_o some_o other_o trifle_n and_o if_o the_o judge_n do_v not_o his_o duty_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v count_v guilty_a before_o god_n as_o a_o thief_n for_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o a_o thief_n see_v that_o he_o steal_v a_o other_o man_n good_n and_o substance_n and_o that_o which_o appertain_v to_o one_o he_o give_v

be_v excuse_v if_o we_o be_v negligent_a and_o close_o up_o our_o eye_n at_o that_o which_o be_v so_o good_a and_o profitable_a for_o we_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v not_o so_o then_o let_v we_o weigh_v well_o that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o man_n shall_v never_o true_o know_v themselves_o sinner_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o as_o it_o be_v requisite_a until_o they_o have_v examine_v their_o life_n particular_o and_o indeed_o we_o see_v how_o david_n use_v the_o matter_n for_o one_o fault_n only_o bring_v he_o into_o the_o mid_n of_o the_o sea_n when_o he_o see_v that_o he_o have_v commit_v so_o heinous_a a_o offence_n before_o god_n as_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o cruel_a murder_n not_o only_o of_o one_o man_n but_o of_o many_o while_o he_o go_v about_o to_o kill_v urias_n therefore_o when_o he_o see_v the_o wickedness_n of_o his_o sin_n the_o enormity_n thereof_o constrain_v he_o not_o only_o to_o think_v upon_o that_o fault_n alone_o but_o also_o to_o consider_v himself_o more_o near_o yea_o and_o to_o behold_v himself_o as_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o to_o condemn_v himself_o utter_o thus_o

the_o principal_a point_n which_o god_n reserve_v to_o himself_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v know_v ourselves_o to_o be_v in_o state_n of_o damnation_n and_o utter_o forlese_v and_o past_a recovery_n &_o that_o we_o shall_v recover_v no_o hope_n but_o only_o in_o his_o free_a goodness_n when_o this_o doctrine_n be_v deface_v it_o be_v asmuch_o as_o to_o exalt_v man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o god_n

then_o if_o a_o man_n have_v any_o sudden_a choler_n although_o the_o same_o settle_v not_o in_o his_o heart_n yet_o you_o see_v he_o have_v already_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n before_o god_n how_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o if_o we_o foster_v deadly_a hatred_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o be_v full_a of_o venomous_a rancour_n to_o be_v revenge_v of_o they_o that_o have_v do_v we_o any_o wrong_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o correct_v this_o vice_n in_o we_o and_o understand_v that_o if_o any_o evil_a word_n have_v escape_v our_o mouth_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o and_o to_o fall_v to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v namely_o that_o the_o sun_n go_v not_o down_o upon_o your_o wrath_n jest_n you_o give_v possession_n unto_o satan_n hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v

and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o do_v it_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o bear_v any_o evil_a will_n against_o our_o enemy_n we_o can_v make_v god_n a_o liar_n nor_o his_o holy_a spirit_n which_o speak_v by_o

gather_v of_o this_o sentence_n where_o we_o hear_v job_n protest_v that_o he_o not_o only_o forbear_v all_o revenge_n but_o also_o be_v sorry_a when_o any_o evil_n happen_v to_o his_o enemy_n and_o his_o heart_n rejoice_v not_o when_o he_o hear_v speak_v of_o it_o nevertheless_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v rejoice_v at_o the_o confuzion_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o be_v true_a howbeit_o to_o the_o intent_n to_o have_v such_o a_o gladness_n as_o god_n allow_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v scour_v &_o cleanse_v from_o all_o privy_a malice_n &_o all_o regard_n of_o our_o own_o person_n when_o god_n child_n rejoice_v at_o the_o adversity_n of_o the_o wicked_a it_o must_v be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v just_a and_o righteous_a and_o yet_o therewithal_o they_o must_v also_o take_v warning_n to_o walk_v in_o fear_n
then_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n have_v print_v some_o mark_n of_o his_o power_n in_o whale_n and_o other_o great_a beast_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n shall_v know_v how_o

all_o thing_n be_v so_o in_o his_o hand_n we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o tremble_v before_o he_o nevertheless_o our_o lord_n mean_v not_o too_o drive_v we_o from_o he_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o
