this_o text_n bid_v they_o that_o be_v voluptuous_a be_v voluptuous_a still_o let_v they_o that_o be_v vain_a glorious_a be_v vain_a glorious_a still_o let_v they_o that_o be_v covetous_a be_v

they_o that_o be_v careless_a prelate_n be_v careless_a still_o let_v they_o that_o be_v usurer_n be_v usurer_n still_o but_o say_v solomon_n remember_v thy_o end_n that_o thou_o shall_v be_v call_v to_o judgement_n at_o the_o last_o for_o altogether_o this_o be_v the_o counsel_n of_o solomon_n the_o wise_a then_o live_v what_o a_o counsel_n be_v this_o for_o a_o wise_a man_n such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v solomon_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o book_n he_o say_v all_o be_v vanity_n and_o in_o the_o end_n he_o say_v fear_v god_n &_o keep_v his_o commandment_n in_o the_o 12._o chapter_n he_o say_v remember_v thy_o maker_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n but_o here_o he_o say_v rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n here_o he_o speak_v like_o a_o epicure_n which_o say_v eat_v drink_n and_o be_v merry_a here_o he_o counsel_n and_o here_o he_o mock_n yet_o not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o scorner_n although_o they_o deserve_v it_o in_o show_v their_o foolishness_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o proverbe_n he_o laugh_v at_o the_o wicked_a in_o derision_n as_o in_o the_o 2._o psalm_n god_n see_v we_o follow_v our_o own_o way_n for_o when_o he_o bid_v we_o

at_o our_o destruction_n therefore_o when_o solomon_n give_v a_o sharp_a reproof_n and_o make_v you_o ashamed_a in_o a_o word_n he_o scoffinglie_o bid_v you_o do_v it_o again_o like_o a_o schoolmaster_n which_o beat_v his_o scholar_n for_o play_v the_o truant_n he_o bid_v he_o play_v the_o truant_n again_o o_o this_o be_v the_o bitter_a reproof_n of_o all_o but_o least_o any_o libertine_n shall_v misconstrue_v solomon_n and_o say_v that_o he_o bid_v we_o be_v merry_a and_o make_v much_o of_o ourselves_o therefore_o he_o shut_v it_o up_o with_o a_o watchword_n and_o set_v a_o bridle_n before_o his_o lip_n and_o reprove_v it_o as_o he_o speak_v it_o before_o he_o go_v any_o further_a and_o say_v but_o remember_v that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n thou_o must_v come_v to_o judgement_n but_o if_o we_o will_v understand_v his_o meaning_n he_o mean_v when_o he_o say_v rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n repent_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n and_o when_o he_o say_v let_v thy_o hart_n cheer_v thou_o let_v thy_o sin_n grieve_v thou_o for_o he_o mean_v otherwise_o then_o he_o speak_v he_o speak_v like_o michal_n in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n 2._o chap._n go_v up_o and_o prosper_v or_o like_v as_o ezechiell_n go_v up_o and_o serve_v other_o god_n or_o as_o saint_n john_n speak_v in_o the_o revelation_n let_v they_o that_o he_o wicked_a be_v wicked_a still_o but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o judgement_n day_n that_o be_v a_o merry_a world_n therefore_o say_v solomon_n when_o thou_o be_v in_o thy_o pleasure_n flaunt_v in_o the_o field_n and_o in_o thy_o brave_a ruff_n and_o among_o thy_o lover_n with_o thy_o smile_a look_n thy_o wanton_a talk_n and_o merry_a jest_n with_o thy_o pleasant_a game_n and_o lofty_a look_n remember_v for_o all_o these_o thing_n thou_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n while_o the_o thief_n steal_v the_o hemp_n grow_v and_o the_o hook_n be_v cover_v within_o the_o bait_n we_o sit_v down_o to_o eat_v and_o rise_v up_o to_o play_v and_o from_o play_v to_o sleep_v and_o a_o hundred_o year_n be_v count_v little_a enough_o to_o sin_v in_o but_o how_o many_o sin_n thou_o have_v set_v on_o the_o score_n so_o many_o kind_n of_o punishment_n shall_v be_v provide_v for_o thou_o how_o many_o year_n of_o pleasure_n thou_o have_v take_v so_o many_o year_n of_o pain_n how_o many_o dram_n of_o delight_n so_o many_o pound_n of_o dolour_n when_o iniquity_n have_v play_v her_o part_n vengeance_n leap_v upon_o the_o stage_n the_o comedy_n be_v short_a but_o the_o tragedy_n be_v long_o the_o black_a guard_n shall_v attend_v upon_o you_o you_o shall_v eat_v at_o the_o table_n ofsorrowe_n and_o the_o crown_n of_o death_n shall_v be_v upon_o your_o head_n many_o glister_a face_n look_v on_o you_o and_o this_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o sinner_n when_o the_o devil_n have_v entice_v they_o to_o sin_n he_o presume_v like_o the_o old_a prophet_n in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n who_o when_o he_o have_v entice_v the_o young_a prophet_n contrary_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n to_o turn_v home_o with_o he_o and_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v he_o curse_v he_o for_o his_o labour_n because_o he_o disobey_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o a_o lion_n devour_v he_o by_o the_o way_n the_o foolish_a virgin_n think_v that_o their_o oil_n will_v never_o be_v spend_v so_o dina_n straggle_v abroad_o while_o she_o be_v deflower_v what_o a_o thing_n be_v this_o to_o say_v rejoice_v and_o then_o repent_v what_o a_o blank_a to_o say_v take_v thy_o pleasure_n and_o then_o thou_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v steal_v &_o be_v hang_v steal_v &_o thou_o dare_v strangle_v sin_n in_o the_o cradle_n for_o all_o the_o wisdom_n in_o the_o world_n will_v not_o help_v thou_o else_o but_o thou_o shall_v be_v in_o admiration_n like_o dreamer_n which_o dream_v strange_a thing_n and_o know_v not_o how_o they_o come_v he_o say_v remember_v judgement_n if_o thou_o remember_v always_o than_o thou_o shall_v have_v little_a list_n to_o sin_n if_o thou_o remember_v this_o than_o thou_o shall_v have_v little_a list_n to_o fall_v down_o to_o the_o devil_n though_o he_o will_v give_v thou_o all_o the_o world_n and_o the_o glory_n thereof_o solomon_n say_v the_o weed_n grow_v from_o a_o weed_n to_o a_o cockle_n from_o a_o cockle_n to_o a_o bramble_n from_o a_o

obstinacy_n and_o bring_v forth_o much_o evil_n and_o this_o be_v the_o whole_a progress_n of_o sin_n he_o grow_v from_o a_o liar_n to_o a_o thief_n from_o a_o thief_n to_o a_o murderer_n and_o never_o leave_v until_o he_o have_v search_v all_o the_o room_n in_o hell_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v never_o satisfy_v the_o more_o he_o sin_v the_o more_o he_o search_v to_o sin_n when_o he_o have_v

again_o yet_o a_o little_a and_o a_o little_a more_o and_o so_o we_o flit_v from_o one_o sin_n to_o another_o while_o i_o preach_v you_o hear_v iniquity_n engender_v within_o you_o and_o will_v

condemnation_n can_v be_v so_o heavy_a since_o there_o be_v no_o wickedness_n in_o his_o hand_n since_o he_o be_v the_o brightness_n of_o his_o father_n glory_n and_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n that_o shine_v in_o the_o world_n as_o to_o see_v his_o day_n at_o a_o end_n to_o see_v such_o throb_a sigh_n and_o careful_a thought_n without_o cause_n of_o he_o so_o deep_o engrave_v in_o the_o

breath_n it_o be_v a_o great_a grief_n unto_o he_o to_o see_v himself_o make_v a_o worm_n and_o not_o a_o man_n a_o shame_n of_o man_n and_o contempt_n of_o the_o people_n to_o see_v his_o life_n shut_v up_o in_o shame_n and_o reproach_n how_o can_v it_o but_o shake_v his_o bone_n out_o of_o joint_n and_o make_v his_o heart_n melt_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o bowel_n who_o be_v ever_o so_o

yet_o it_o be_v not_o all_o no_o it_o be_v but_o a_o taste_n of_o grief_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o rest_n behold_v therefore_o if_o your_o weary_a eye_n will_v suffer_v you_o to_o behold_v the_o depth_n of_o all_o misery_n yet_o behind_o the_o sin_n that_o he_o hate_v he_o must_v take_v upon_o his_o own_o body_n and_o bear_v the_o wrath_n of_o his_o father_n pour_v out_o against_o it_o this_o
