and_o do_v not_o see_v it_o at_o last_o he_o dream_v and_o behold_v a_o ladder_n which_o reach_v from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n and_o all_o the_o angel_n descend_v and_o ascend_v by_o it_o to_o show_v that_o no_o man_n ascend_v to_o heaven_n but_o by_o that_o ladder_n this_o ladder_n be_v christ_n which_o say_v i_o be_o the_o way_n and_o therefore_o he_o bid_v we_o to_o follow_v he_o if_o we_o must_v follow_v christ_n his_o step_n let_v we_o see_v how_o he_o go_v to_o heaven_n he_o begin_v betimes_o for_o at_o twelve_o year_n of_o age_n he_o say_v i_o must_v go_v about_o my_o father_n business_n he_o make_v speed_n for_o john_n say_v that_o he_o speak_v and_o do_v more_o good_a thing_n in_o three_o and_o thirty_o year_n than_o can_v be_v write_v he_o keep_v the_o right_a way_n for_o when_o he_o say_v who_o can_v accuse_v i_o of_o sin_n none_o will_v accuse_v he_o of_o any_o though_o they_o watch_v he_o for_o that_o purpose_n he_o continue_v well_o for_o he_o die_v like_o a_o lamb_n and_o pray_v to_o his_o father_n and_o forgive_v his_o enemy_n therefore_o we_o will_v call_v the_o step_n of_o this_o ladder_n maturè_n properè_fw-la rectè_fw-la constant_a that_o be_v begin_v betimes_o make_v haste_n keep_v the_o way_n and_o hold_v to_o the_o end_n and_o thou_o shall_v go_v after_o thy_o master_n touch_v the_o first_o begin_v betimes_o god_n require_v the_o first_o bear_v for_o his_o offering_n and_o the_o first_o fruit_n for_o his_o service_n require_v the_o f●●st_a labour_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o maidenhead_n of_o every_o man_n because_o the_o best_a season_n to_o seek_v god_n be_v to_o seek_v he_o early_o and_o therefore_o wisdom_n say_v they_o which_o seek_v i_o early_o shall_v find_v but_o to_o they_o which_o defer_v she_o say_v 17._o you_o shall_v seek_v i_o but_o you_o shall_v not_o find_v i_o we_o have_v long_o purpose_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o every_o man_n think_v 28._o that_o he_o shall_v be_v serve_v but_o we_o can_v accord_v of_o the_o time_n when_o to_o begin_v one_o say_v when_o i_o be_o rich_a another_z say_v when_o i_o be_o free_a another_z say_v when_o i_o be_o settle_v another_o say_v when_o i_o be_o old_a than_o i_o shall_v be_v fit_a to_o fast_o and_o pray_v thus_o because_o we_o be_v give_v to_o set_v the_o best_a last_n that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o long_a time_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o pleasure_n like_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o first_o of_o agge_n which_o say_v always_o the_o time_n be_v not_o 2._o yet_o come_v when_o they_o shall_v build_v the_o temple_n therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n cry_v so_o often_o this_o be_v the_o acceptable_a 2._o time_n this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o salvation_n to_o day_n hear_v his_o voice_n like_o rebeccah_n which_o teach_v her_o son_n the_o near_a way_n to_o get_v the_o blessing_n so_o soon_o as_o man_n be_v create_v a_o law_n be_v give_v he_o to_o show_v that_o he_o shall_v live_v under_o obedience_n from_o the_o day_n that_o he_o be_v bear_v so_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v bear_v he_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o show_v that_o when_o we_o can_v run_v to_o christ_n we_o shall_v creep_v unto_o he_o and_o serve_v he_o as_o we_o can_v in_o youth_n and_o age_n so_o soon_o as_o he_o begin_v to_o pray_v he_o say_v thy_o name_n be_v hallow_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v thy_o will_n be_v do_v before_o he_o ask_v his_o daily_a bread_n to_o show_v that_o we_o shall_v seek_v the_o will_n of_o god_n before_o the_o food_n that_o we_o live_v by_o much_o more_o before_o the_o sin_n &_o pleasure_n which_o we_o perish_v by_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o lord_n distribute_v 13._o the_o talent_n he_o enjoin_v his_o servant_n to_o use_v they_o who_o be_v so_o young_a that_o have_v not_o receive_v some_o talon_n or_o other_o therefore_o
