Preached and written by the reverend & godly learned M. Iohn More, late preacher in the citie of Norwitch. And now first published by M. Nicholas Bovvnd: whereunto he hath adioyned of his owne, A sermon of comfort for the afflicted: and, A short treatise of a contented mind.

as_o to_o the_o mean_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o teach_v you_o &_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o the_o careful_a use_n of_o those_o mean_n for_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o thereby_o you_o may_v come_v to_o the_o true_a understanding_n of_o his_o word_n 3_o that_o which_o you_o have_v thus_o learned_a let_v it_o not_o swim_v aloft_o in_o your_o brain_n but_o let_v it_o be_v deep_o settle_v &_o hide_v in_o your_o heart_n as_o a_o treasure_n labour_v to_o frame_v all_o your_o affection_n unto_o it_o that_o so_o you_o may_v have_v it_o in_o a_o readiness_n whensoever_o you_o shall_v

that_o which_o you_o learn_v because_o be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a it_o be_v more_o than_o many_o in_o the_o world_n do_v know_v yet_o content_v not_o yourself_o with_o it_o as_o though_o you_o have_v sufficient_a but_o pray_v unto_o he_o to_o be_v further_o enlighten_v because_o it_o be_v less_o than_o many_o other_o do_v and_o you_o yourself_o shall_v know_v 5_o but_o above_o all_o be_v

other_o you_o shall_v learn_v yourself_o 6_o that_o you_o may_v do_v all_o these_o thing_n labour_v to_o have_v joy_n in_o the_o word_n and_o in_o all_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o more_o than_o in_o

you_o be_v sure_a never_o to_o forget_v that_o which_o you_o learn_v though_o you_o do_v not_o remember_v every_o thing_n yet_o god_n will_v by_o his_o spirit_n call_v so_o much_o into_o your_o
