in_o god_n spiritual_a building_n let_v we_o therefore_o by_o love_n lie_v close_o by_o one_o another_o let_v we_o not_o justle_v one_o another_o if_o a_o house_n be_v divide_v against_o itself_o how_o shall_v it_o stand_v we_o be_v god_n house_n &_o houshold-seruant_n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v divide_v against_o ourselves_o lest_o his_o house_n fall_v down_o upon_o our_o head_n division_n be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o destruction_n therefore_o as_o one_o stone_n in_o a_o build_n bear_v up_o another_o sometime_o a_o little_a one_o bear_v a_o great_a and_o sometime_o the_o

we_o must_v be_v content_a with_o his_o husband_n we_o must_v strive_v to_o be_v fruitful_a in_o good_a thing_n they_o be_v to_o be_v dispraise_v that_o be_v barren_a first_o forsomuch_o as_o we_o

in_o faith_n love_n repentance_n and_o obedience_n the_o good_a ground_n which_o receive_v good_a seed_n be_v very_o profitable_a to_o the_o owner_n send_v forth_o plenty_n of_o fruit_n even_o so_o

a_o curse_a ground_n that_o receive_v seed_n &_o yet_o afford_v either_o nothing_o or_o nought_o but_o weed_n we_o be_v god_n field_n a●d_v therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v like_o the_o field_n of_o the_o 24.31_o sluggard_n that_o be_v overgrow_v with_o thorn_n &_o nettle_n if_o a_o field_n be_v break_v up_o with_o the_o plough_n and_o if_o good_a seed_n be_v not_o sow_v therein_o it_o

our_o life_n now_o that_o we_o have_v be_v break_v up_o with_o the_o plough_n of_o god_n word_n we_o shall_v more_o abound_v with_o the_o stink_a weed_n of_o wickedness_n then_o if_o we_o have_v never_o feel_v that_o plough_n let_v we_o therefore_o look_v to_o ourselves_o and_o labour_n to_o be_v fruitful_a in_o good_a thing_n 23.12_o apply_v thy_o heart_n to_o instruction_n and_o thy_o ear_n

the_o ruin_n of_o wickedness_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o through_o his_o negligence_n &_o oblivion_n or_o because_o he_o have_v cast_v they_o off_o but_o it_o be_v to_o teach_v they_o to_o distaste_n their_o pride_n and_o to_o confess_v that_o they_o can_v easy_o fall_v of_o themselves_o but_o be_v unable_a to_o stand_v or_o rise_v up_o without_o he_o the_o husbandman_n sometime_o let_v his_o

to_o suck_v out_o the_o heart_n &_o to_o make_v it_o altogether_o barren_a &_o good_a for_o nothing_o so_o likewise_o we_o see_v many_o man_n suffer_v their_o house_n to_o decay_v &_o for_o a_o
