caesar_n because_o that_o it_o have_v his_o image_n on_o it_o let_v we_o therefore_o then_o give_v ourselves_o to_o god_n see_v that_o we_o bear_v his_o own_o image_n but_o the_o jnconvenience_n be_v

the_o earth_n &_o all_o that_o the_o word_n do_v promise_v it_o require_v that_o we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v to_o know_v perfect_o what_o the_o worth_a and_o excellency_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v for_o when_o as_o man_n by_o a_o unfriendly_a amity_n and_o cruel_a welwilling_a do_v solicit_v some_o one_o to_o do_v ill_a which_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o to_o

than_o the_o world_n be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o love_n of_o the_o faithful_a that_o the_o world_n be_v frame_v will_v not_o god_n ruinate_v it_o again_o for_o to_o reedify_v for_o they_o a_o fair_a

that_o fear_v god_n &_o trust_n in_o his_o son_n know_v that_o it_o be_v you_o that_o underprop_v the_o world_n and_o that_o nourish_v the_o wicked_a in_o it_o therefore_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n

therefore_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o reason_n why_o that_o christ_n do_v call_v the_o faithful_a the_o fault_n of_o the_o 13_o mat._n 5._o 13_o earth_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o a_o little_a

most_o ridiculous_a and_o as_o the_o paint_a kingdom_n which_o the_o devil_n show_v unto_o christ_n like_o those_o which_o from_o the_o high_a part_n of_o the_o alps_n do_v look_v into_o campania_n

it_o behove_v that_o the_o faithful_a contemplate_v humane_a thing_n and_o that_o he_o transport_v instant_o his_o heart_n to_o heaven_n since_o that_o there_o be_v his_o treasure_n and_o consider_v from_o thence_o the_o palace_n of_o prince_n he_o will_v esteem_v they_o as_o habitation_n of_o aunt_n &_o the_o turbulent_a murmur_a of_o man_n as_o the_o buzz_n of_o a_o angry_a swarm_n of_o bee_n and_o contemplate_v from_o thence_o what_o thing_n be_v most_o great_a and_o apparent_a in_o the_o earth_n he_o will_v say_v the_o vanity_n of_o vanity_n that_o all_o be_v vanity_n that_o holy_a glory_n will_v not_o hinder_v christian_a humility_n for_o we_o know_v the_o worthiness_n in_o ourselves_o do_v find_v our_o dignity_n in_o jesus_n christ_n if_o repentance_n do_v humble_v we_o faith_n do_v exalt_v we_o if_o we_o be_v nothing_o before_o god_n we_o be_v somewhat_o in_o god_n &_o in_o his_o fatherly_a affection_n and_o therefore_o in_o this_o the_o faithful_a be_v contrary_a to_o worldly_a man_n for_o they_o do_v lift_v their_o eye_n to_o heaven_n by_o too_o much_o pride_n but_o press_v down_o their_o heart_n on_o the_o earth_n with_o avarice_n and_o incontinency_n
