do_v as_o the_o earth_n do_v which_o nourish_v and_o sustain_v all_o live_a creature_n let_v all_o the_o creature_n be_v his_o schoolmaster_n unto_o goodness_n for_o all_o be_v make_v to_o do_v he_o

the_o good_a treasure_n of_o his_o heart_n bring_v forth_o good_a thing_n so_o out_o of_o the_o good_a treasure_n of_o his_o hand_n he_o minister_v to_o the_o necessity_n of_o other_o he_o be_v

the_o goodness_n of_o humility_n be_v require_v of_o he_o without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o entrance_n into_o joy_n god_n give_v grace_n only_o to_o the_o humble_a 5_o 1._o pet._n 5_o he_o must_v

be_v engender_v and_o do_v live_v without_o which_o motion_n they_o can_v not_o either_o increase_n or_o continue_v so_o by_o our_o motion_n &_o walk_v with_o god_n all_o his_o grace_n be_v beginner_n in_o we_o to_o 〈◊〉_d by_o that_o walk_a do_v live_v in_o we_o and_o bring_v we_o to_o eternal_a life_n without_o which_o walk_v with_o god_n there_o be_v no_o hope_n that_o we_o can_v live_v with_o he_o for_o ever_o this_o walk_v may_v be_v express_v in_o these_o 3._o first_o that_o there_o be_v a_o good_a and_o holy_a life_n for_o qualis_fw-la vita_fw-la finis_fw-la ita_fw-la such_o as_o be_v

of_o the_o world_n desire_v of_o man_n be_v his_o goodness_n first_o then_o that_o which_o god_n desire_v of_o a_o man_n be_v his_o goodness_n as_o we_o see_v before_o out_o of_o the_o prophet_n saint_n paul_n affirm_v the_o same_o 6_o mich._n 6_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n 4_o 1._o thess_n 4_o even_o your_o sanctification_n and_o our_o saviour_n be_v you_o perfect_a 5._o math._n

you_o do_v it_o not_o to_o i_o depart_v from_o i_o you_o curse_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n the_o reason_n why_o god_n desire_v this_o goodness_n be_v for_o that_o in_o nothing_o come_v we_o so_o near_o the_o divine_a and_o original_a goodness_n itself_o which_o be_v god_n as_o in_o true_a &_o sincere_a goodness_n to_o other_o yea_o even_o to_o

consider_v also_o the_o nature_n of_o time_n itself_o for_o 1._o it_o be_v short_a our_o day_n be_v short_a and_o full_a of_o misery_n 14_o job_n 14_o they_o be_v but_o a_o span_n long_o as_o david_n

account_n of_o the_o pretiousnesse_n of_o time_n be_v set_v forth_o untow_v in_o these_o three_o conception_n first_o in_o that_o the_o possession_n of_o time_n be_v very_o rare_a see_v there_o be_v

there_o be_v a_o place_n in_o which_o one_o hour_n of_o time_n to_o repent_v in_o will_v be_v more_o worth_a than_o a_o world_n and_o that_o place_n be_v hell_n where_o the_o damn_a spirit_n will_v
