may_v be_v another_o in_o thy_o family_n or_o place_n that_o may_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n to_o god_n but_o thou_o hindere_v god_n may_v have_v more_o rent_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v for_o all_o

out_o all_o to_o other_o thing_n and_o the_o old_a latin_a here_o turn_v it_o 70._o a_o leavy_z vine_n and_o the_o seventy_o they_o have_v it_o a_o vine_n that_o bring_v forth_o goodly_a branch_n

have_v lose_v the_o hopeful_a beginning_n of_o many_o young_a people_n in_o these_o time_n they_o have_v present_o sprout_v out_o into_o leaf_n for_o never_o be_v there_o a_o more_o hopeful_a time_n of_o young_a people_n than_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o parliament_n and_o no_o great_a encouragement_n be_v there_o than_o from_o they_o at_o that_o time_n i_o will_v not_o say_v it_o be_v whole_o lose_v but_o oh_o how_o many_o of_o they_o that_o begin_v to_o understand_v the_o way_n of_o god_n have_v let_v out_o all_o their_o strength_n in_o leaf_n and_o contest_v and_o dispute_v and_o

it_o be_v if_o so_o be_v that_o god_n have_v keep_v they_o down_o in_o a_o work_n of_o humiliation_n to_o the_o very_a ground_n for_o a_o year_n or_o two_o together_o humiliation_n now_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v altogether_o lay_v aside_o any_o work_n of_o humiliation_n but_o present_o they_o sprout_v out_o into_o leaf_n my_o brethren_n whatsoever_o may_v be_v say_v or_o whatsoevee_a heretofore_o have_v seem_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o the_o contrary_a yet_o certain_o if_o right_o understand_v have_v be_v but_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v acknowledge_v we_o do_v not_o press_v humiliation_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n we_o look_v not_o at_o it_o so_o preach_v but_o humiliation_n keep_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n low_a and_o empty_v they_o of_o themselves_o and_o keep_v they_o down_o i_o say_v this_o be_v that_o which_o will_v have_v make_v they_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o fruitful_a and_o they_o can_v not_o have_v run_v up_o as_o mere_a leaf_n and_o their_o strength_n spend_v and_o so_o how_o many_o of_o they_o be_v fall_v off_o again_o not_o only_o to_o be_v slight_a and_o vain_a but_o to_o be_v wicked_a and_o ungodly_a and_o quite_o naught_o because_o they_o be_v not_o keep_v down_o low_a for_o a_o while_n but_o god_n order_v thing_n that_o they_o shall_v live_v in_o time_n of_o liberty_n oh_o how_o luxurious_a have_v they_o grow_v that_o way_n liberty_n when_o god_n let_v a_o people_n grow_v rank_a and_o prune_n they_o not_o they_o quick_o grow_v barren_a we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o rank_a christian_n as_o we_o have_v at_o this_o day_n that_o grow_v out_o in_o luxurious_a branch_n and_o they_o think_v they_o have_v overtopped_a all_o because_o they_o can_v talk_v more_o than_o other_o do_v when_o as_o there_o be_v some_o poor_a christian_n that_o grow_v low_a to_o the_o ground_n and_o when_o they_o get_v a_o little_a comfort_n it_o be_v go_v away_o from_o they_o present_o

observable_a explain_v compare_v isa_n 5._o with_o the_o 27._o there_o be_v a_o note_n very_o observable_a in_o the_o 5._o chapter_n god_n complain_v of_o his_o vinyard_n that_o he_o look_v for_o grape_n and_o they_o bring_v forth_o wild_a grape_n but_o there_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o the_o time_n before_o the_o captivity_n but_o in_o the_o 27._o chapter_n there_o be_v a_o

be_v righteousness_n equity_n and_o justice_n as_o it_o be_v expect_v behold_v instead_o of_o this_o there_o sping_n up_o a_o crop_n of_o oppression_n vnrighteousness_n and_o injustice_n that_o be_v bitter_a as_o hemlock_n i_o rather_o think_v that_o this_o must_v be_v the_o meaning_n 12_o because_o i_o find_v that_o in_o divers_a scripture_n injustice_n be_v compare_v to_o bitter_a thing_n yea_o to_o hemlock_n its_o self_n in_o amos_n 5._o 7._o you_o turn_v judgement_n to_o wormwood_n and_o leave_v off_o righteousness_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o in_o amos_n 6._o 12._o shall_v horse_n run_v upon_o the_o rock_n will_v one_o plough_v there_o with_o ox_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o open_v the_o former_a text_n but_o you_o see_v the_o scripture_n charge_v the_o people_n by_o this_o expression_n of_o sin_v against_o judgement_n and_o righteousness_n that_o they_o turn_v it_o to_o hemlock_n now_o i_o find_v three_o thing_n especial_o record_v of_o this_o herb_n first_o 13_o it_o be_v a_o very_a venomous_a herb_n therefore_o i_o find_v pliny_n record_v of_o it_o in_o his_o 25._o book_n 13._o chap._n of_o natural_a history_n that_o the_o athenian_n do_v use_v to_o give_v this_o to_o malefactor_n that_o be_v condemn_v to_o die_v to_o execute_v they_o withal_o and_o socrates_n that_o be_v so_o wise_a a_o man_n among_o they_o god_n yet_o he_o because_o he_o do_v not_o yield_v to_o their_o god_n but_o speak_v against_o their_o false_a god_n therefore_o they_o judge_v he_o to_o die_v and_o he_o must_v drink_v a_o potion_n of_o hemlock_n and_o so_o die_v and_o second_o i_o find_v the_o same_o author_n say_v of_o it_o that_o the_o leaf_n be_v somewhat_o like_a to_o coriander_n but_o that_o they_o be_v more_o tender_a and_o a_o strong_a stink_a smell_n they_o have_v with_o they_o sometime_o and_o the_o seed_n like_v to_o annis_n and_o so_o justice_n seem_v to_o have_v a_o very_a fair_a pretence_n sometime_o and_o may_v seem_v to_o do_v thing_n that_o be_v very_o good_a under_o very_o fair_a pretence_n man_n be_v very_o injust_a the_o leaf_n when_o they_o come_v up_o one_o will_v think_v there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o fine_a fruit_n one_o will_v think_v to_o have_v coriander_n or_o annis_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o come_v to_o hemlock_n at_o last_o and_o then_o the_o three_o thing_n be_v loc_n that_o which_o hierom_n report_v of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v in_o his_o comment_n upon_o my_o text_n he_o say_v that_o hemlock_n grow_v up_o very_o stiff_a and_o full_a of_o joint_n and_o at_o the_o joint_n he_o say_v it_o put_v forth_o a_o stalk_n and_o that_o do_v not_o only_o sprout_v upward_o and_o bear_v fruit_n but_o downward_o to_o have_v a_o root_n &_o he_o say_v that_o every_o branch_n if_o it_o have_v but_o a_o joint_n in_o it_o will_v serve_v instead_o of_o a_o seed_n yea_o every_o sprig_n of_o it_o will_v serve_v instead_o of_o seed_n yea_o he_o say_v if_o any_o piece_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n it_o will_v grow_v up_o and_o so_o grow_v up_o as_o that_o it_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a to_o rid_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o and_o true_o thus_o it_o do_v resemble_v injustice_n if_o it_o be_v let_v alone_o but_o a_o little_a oh_o how_o it_o multiply_v one_o to_o another_o and_o spread_v through_o the_o whole_a land_n quick_o and_o pliny_n do_v observe_v many_o other_o thing_n too_o he_o say_v that_o the_o root_n of_o it_o be_v hollow_a and_o that_o be_v unfit_a for_o any_o use_n at_o all_o hollow_a and_o so_o be_v the_o heart_n of_o those_o that_o be_v injust_a hollow_a heart_n and_o unfit_a for_o any_o thing_n and_o also_o he_o say_v that_o the_o leaf_n be_v fit_a for_o swell_n and_o against_o sore_a eye_n they_o and_o god_n do_v turn_v even_o the_o injustice_n that_o be_v many_o time_n among_o a_o people_n to_o be_v medicine_n to_o his_o people_n against_o their_o swell_n and_o to_o open_v their_o sore_a eye_n and_o he_o say_v that_o if_o hemlock_n be_v drink_v in_o wine_n it_o will_v certain_o kill_v a_o man_n and_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n so_o if_o man_n shall_v be_v injust_a and_o take_v delight_n in_o it_o condition_n and_o take_v pleasure_n in_o it_o and_o scorn_n and_o contemn_v at_o those_o that_o they_o can_v oppress_v by_o injustice_n those_o man_n be_v in_o a_o desperate_a condition_n indeed_o and_o then_o last_o he_o do_v observe_v by_o this_o herb_n that_o it_o kill_v by_o cold_a those_o that_o take_v the_o leaf_n or_o seed_n if_o they_o get_v the_o mastery_n of_o any_o they_o shall_v feel_v themselves_o begin_v to_o be_v cold_a in_o their_o inward_a part_n cool_v and_o so_o die_v inward_o oh_o how_o many_o who_o have_v be_v very_o hot_a and_o zealous_a yet_o have_v get_v power_n into_o their_o hand_n they_o have_v unrighteous_o use_v their_o power_n they_o have_v grow_v cold_a in_o what_o they_o be_v former_o zealous_a in_o and_o still_o they_o grow_v cold_a and_o cold_a and_o thus_o their_o unrighteousness_n be_v like_a to_o prove_v to_o be_v their_o death_n in_o the_o furrow_n of_o the_o field_n calvin_n put_v this_o question_n calvin_n why_o do_v he_o not_o say_v it_o spring_v up_o in_o the_o field_n expos_fw-la but_o in_o the_o furrow_n of_o the_o field_n and_o he_o give_v this_o answer_n to_o it_o agro_fw-la where_o there_o be_v furrow_n in_o the_o field_n there_o have_v the_o plough_n come_v that_o have_v break_v up_o the_o field_n and_o it_o be_v to_o
